00:00:49.920 --> 00:00:54.320
<v Speaker 3>culture and Louve celebrating this new beer is so cool

21
00:00:54.679 --> 00:00:56.719
<v Speaker 3>and so yeah, We've been hosting the sumo tournament at

22
00:00:56.759 --> 00:00:59.039
<v Speaker 3>Rollertown now for a couple of years. People flying from

23
00:00:59.240 --> 00:01:01.079
<v Speaker 3>all over the world to be here at this proper

24
00:01:01.119 --> 00:01:04.480
<v Speaker 3>sumo tournament. So we thought, it's not this weekend, it's

25
00:01:04.519 --> 00:01:07.560
<v Speaker 3>the following weekend. So this weekend we reached out to

26
00:01:07.719 --> 00:01:10.359
<v Speaker 3>Corey of the Dallas Sumo Club and said, hey, what

27
00:01:10.480 --> 00:01:13.239
<v Speaker 3>if we rented a limo bus from Alba Limousines and

28
00:01:13.359 --> 00:01:15.519
<v Speaker 3>packed a bunch of sumo wrestlers in it, and Skin

29
00:01:15.599 --> 00:01:18.079
<v Speaker 3>and I went on a little pub crawl at four

30
00:01:18.120 --> 00:01:20.040
<v Speaker 3>of the bars and restaurants that support us around the

31
00:01:20.040 --> 00:01:23.640
<v Speaker 3>Prosperous Lina area. So we're going to Mike Pettis's Gin

32
00:01:24.840 --> 00:01:27.640
<v Speaker 3>on Broadway and prosper Then we're gonna go down to

33
00:01:27.799 --> 00:01:30.079
<v Speaker 3>the Tavern on Broadway, which is an awesome new bar

34
00:01:30.120 --> 00:01:33.400
<v Speaker 3>over there. Those are great bars and restaurants. Then we're

35
00:01:33.439 --> 00:01:35.840
<v Speaker 3>gonna go to the Nook, which is in light Farms,

36
00:01:36.280 --> 00:01:38.280
<v Speaker 3>and then we're gonna go to Heyday, a new cocktail

37
00:01:38.319 --> 00:01:41.640
<v Speaker 3>bar fairly new that's on the square in Salana. All

38
00:01:41.680 --> 00:01:45.000
<v Speaker 3>four awesome places, and so we're gonna spend about fifteen

39
00:01:45.120 --> 00:01:46.840
<v Speaker 3>or twenty minutes at each place. We're going to buy

40
00:01:46.840 --> 00:01:49.000
<v Speaker 3>a bunch of Rollertown beers. While we're there, you can

41
00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:51.120
<v Speaker 3>come take pictures with the sumo wrestlers. We're gonna be

42
00:01:51.159 --> 00:01:54.840
<v Speaker 3>passing out flyers promoting our big sumo weekend. But we're

43
00:01:54.840 --> 00:01:56.480
<v Speaker 3>just gonna stop at each one of those places, and

44
00:01:56.519 --> 00:01:59.640
<v Speaker 3>then we're gonna end up on Saturday night at Rollertown

45
00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:01.239
<v Speaker 3>where Brand New Funk's throwing down.

46
00:02:01.319 --> 00:02:01.480
<v Speaker 4>Right.

47
00:02:01.799 --> 00:02:04.040
<v Speaker 1>Yes, it's gonna be amazing, and I love the concept

48
00:02:04.040 --> 00:02:06.239
<v Speaker 1>of a sumo crawl, So come be a part of it.

49
00:02:06.719 --> 00:02:09.719
<v Speaker 1>Roller Down Beer Works. We'll see it this weekend and next.

50
00:02:09.759 --> 00:02:12.639
<v Speaker 1>But right now it's time board this kill.

51
00:02:17.000 --> 00:02:18.000
<v Speaker 2>This thing's big.

52
00:02:18.159 --> 00:02:22.759
<v Speaker 1>It sure is, Cynthia, it sure is. So the Mavericks

53
00:02:22.800 --> 00:02:26.319
<v Speaker 1>won last night. It was one twenty to one oh six,

54
00:02:26.400 --> 00:02:29.159
<v Speaker 1>and it was nowhere near that close, at least not

55
00:02:29.280 --> 00:02:34.840
<v Speaker 1>after the first quarter. Second quarter floodgates open, primarily because

56
00:02:34.840 --> 00:02:38.639
<v Speaker 1>of Klay Thompson, and then Anthony Davis got going, and

57
00:02:38.680 --> 00:02:41.039
<v Speaker 1>then the Mavericks just never looked back. I think they're

58
00:02:41.080 --> 00:02:43.120
<v Speaker 1>up twenty three at half, as I believe what the

59
00:02:43.159 --> 00:02:48.240
<v Speaker 1>total was, and their defense from the second quarter on

60
00:02:48.960 --> 00:02:50.360
<v Speaker 1>was pretty suffocating.

61
00:02:50.719 --> 00:02:54.039
<v Speaker 3>Man, this is exactly what I needed and I didn't

62
00:02:54.039 --> 00:02:56.919
<v Speaker 3>even know I needed it going into that game. You know,

63
00:02:56.919 --> 00:02:59.400
<v Speaker 3>I mentioned this earlier in the show. I didn't even

64
00:02:59.439 --> 00:03:01.919
<v Speaker 3>know how to feel. I didn't even know what I wanted.

65
00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:04.199
<v Speaker 3>I didn't know if I wanted them to win or

66
00:03:04.199 --> 00:03:06.759
<v Speaker 3>if I just wanted this abysmal season to be over with.

67
00:03:06.840 --> 00:03:08.199
<v Speaker 3>I didn't even know if I was still going to

68
00:03:08.240 --> 00:03:10.759
<v Speaker 3>be a MAVs fan moving forward, like just flooded with

69
00:03:10.800 --> 00:03:14.280
<v Speaker 3>all this emotion. But when once the game got going,

70
00:03:14.400 --> 00:03:16.240
<v Speaker 3>of course, I'm a MAVs fan. I have been since

71
00:03:16.319 --> 00:03:18.879
<v Speaker 3>nineteen eighty and so there I was rooting for the

72
00:03:18.879 --> 00:03:20.800
<v Speaker 3>Mavericks and hoping they could pull it out, and then

73
00:03:20.840 --> 00:03:24.360
<v Speaker 3>being super stoked to see the way that they were playing.

74
00:03:24.639 --> 00:03:27.000
<v Speaker 2>And I gotta be honest, I needed it.

75
00:03:27.039 --> 00:03:30.120
<v Speaker 3>I didn't even know, Like we've all been surrounded by

76
00:03:30.199 --> 00:03:33.479
<v Speaker 3>so much negativity with regard to the Mavericks and such

77
00:03:33.520 --> 00:03:36.960
<v Speaker 3>an upevil that man, it was great just to settle

78
00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:40.439
<v Speaker 3>in and watch a MAVs victory and at you know,

79
00:03:40.560 --> 00:03:43.319
<v Speaker 3>a meaningful win or go home victory. It had a

80
00:03:43.360 --> 00:03:45.280
<v Speaker 3>pretty big impact on me. I was surprised.

81
00:03:45.439 --> 00:03:48.159
<v Speaker 2>Yeah you can. It's just so easy to drown in

82
00:03:48.199 --> 00:03:49.520
<v Speaker 2>the negativity. I get it.

83
00:03:49.560 --> 00:03:52.879
<v Speaker 1>I saw a pretty funny Tim Kallashaw tweet today and

84
00:03:52.919 --> 00:03:56.520
<v Speaker 1>it was something to the effect of it was like, so,

85
00:03:56.840 --> 00:03:59.599
<v Speaker 1>let me let me get this straight. We made this

86
00:03:59.639 --> 00:04:01.479
<v Speaker 1>move to get better, and here we are is the

87
00:04:01.520 --> 00:04:05.680
<v Speaker 1>ten seed. And I'm paraphrasing, but it was like mission accomplished.

88
00:04:06.039 --> 00:04:09.000
<v Speaker 1>And the thing that there's a lot of things that

89
00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:13.680
<v Speaker 1>Nico said and that you know, private press conference that

90
00:04:13.719 --> 00:04:16.319
<v Speaker 1>came out in the form of you know, articles and transcripts.

91
00:04:16.600 --> 00:04:19.199
<v Speaker 1>One of the things he said that I have believed

92
00:04:19.399 --> 00:04:22.279
<v Speaker 1>this whole time, but it's just you have to use

93
00:04:22.319 --> 00:04:26.079
<v Speaker 1>your imagination. And but it's the idea that if the

94
00:04:26.120 --> 00:04:28.920
<v Speaker 1>team hadn't had all the injuries, it would be a

95
00:04:28.959 --> 00:04:32.199
<v Speaker 1>really great team and people would be pulling for them

96
00:04:32.519 --> 00:04:36.240
<v Speaker 1>to a much bigger degree, and the angst and the

97
00:04:36.279 --> 00:04:40.079
<v Speaker 1>resistance over the trade, which everybody feels, even if you're

98
00:04:40.079 --> 00:04:42.920
<v Speaker 1>still a Maverick fan, would not be to the degree

99
00:04:42.959 --> 00:04:47.560
<v Speaker 1>that it is because it's just exacerbated by all the

100
00:04:47.560 --> 00:04:49.800
<v Speaker 1>injuries and all the negative things that have happened for

101
00:04:49.839 --> 00:04:53.439
<v Speaker 1>the Mavericks. And so last night was a representation of

102
00:04:53.519 --> 00:04:56.399
<v Speaker 1>guys that you still care about playing at a high

103
00:04:56.480 --> 00:05:00.199
<v Speaker 1>level and giving you some basketball excitement. The whole thing

104
00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:03.439
<v Speaker 1>could suck tomorrow night, Memphis could run him out of

105
00:05:03.480 --> 00:05:05.800
<v Speaker 1>the gym, and then you go back to your your

106
00:05:05.839 --> 00:05:09.279
<v Speaker 1>negative feelings. But for one night, it was basketball that mattered,

107
00:05:09.279 --> 00:05:11.600
<v Speaker 1>and the Mavericks played at a really high level. And

108
00:05:11.639 --> 00:05:14.160
<v Speaker 1>as a basketball fan and someone that is a Dallas

109
00:05:14.160 --> 00:05:16.240
<v Speaker 1>Maverick fan and has grown up in Dallas, and obviously

110
00:05:16.240 --> 00:05:18.240
<v Speaker 1>it's to a different degree I work on the broadcast,

111
00:05:18.519 --> 00:05:21.439
<v Speaker 1>it was very satisfying for me to watch that game

112
00:05:21.720 --> 00:05:23.480
<v Speaker 1>and to be able to jump out of my chair

113
00:05:23.519 --> 00:05:26.279
<v Speaker 1>and go, hell yeah when Brandon Williams is making threes.

114
00:05:26.439 --> 00:05:29.600
<v Speaker 1>Brandon Williams, who wasn't even for sure going to play

115
00:05:29.600 --> 00:05:33.000
<v Speaker 1>in that game, just had a phenomenal game. And Klay

116
00:05:33.040 --> 00:05:35.879
<v Speaker 1>Thompson hit big. Those two guys, I mean, obviously Ad

117
00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:39.439
<v Speaker 1>played great, Pga played great, but those two guys just

118
00:05:39.639 --> 00:05:42.439
<v Speaker 1>carried the offense during different stretches and couldn't miss. And

119
00:05:43.040 --> 00:05:45.360
<v Speaker 1>it's a shot making league, right, I know that's generic,

120
00:05:45.399 --> 00:05:46.920
<v Speaker 1>but if you're gonna come out and hit a bunch

121
00:05:46.959 --> 00:05:49.000
<v Speaker 1>of three pointers, you got a chance against anybody. They

122
00:05:49.040 --> 00:05:52.120
<v Speaker 1>were making their shots, but man, that did a lot

123
00:05:52.279 --> 00:05:54.639
<v Speaker 1>I need. That was chicken soup for my Maverick soul.

124
00:05:54.680 --> 00:05:57.600
<v Speaker 1>And I'm not saying that cures all. I'm just saying, man,

125
00:05:57.639 --> 00:06:00.240
<v Speaker 1>I needed that it and it was comforting to know

126
00:06:00.319 --> 00:06:02.600
<v Speaker 1>that I still care, because honestly, I didn't know.

127
00:06:02.959 --> 00:06:06.000
<v Speaker 4>There's a fun little note on the broadcast. It sucks

128
00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:08.839
<v Speaker 4>we didn't get a local broadcast, but I agree. I

129
00:06:08.879 --> 00:06:11.000
<v Speaker 4>forgot who the sideline reporter was. But they were talking

130
00:06:11.000 --> 00:06:13.600
<v Speaker 4>about how the Mavericks have Jorge already packed for eight

131
00:06:13.680 --> 00:06:16.439
<v Speaker 4>games here or for eight days here right there there,

132
00:06:16.839 --> 00:06:19.399
<v Speaker 4>and it's reminded me of the finals, honestly, yeah, which

133
00:06:19.439 --> 00:06:21.879
<v Speaker 4>is stupid, but it did. And I was like, okay, yeah,

134
00:06:21.879 --> 00:06:24.959
<v Speaker 4>you're right when and then Friday night, Man, I'm going

135
00:06:24.959 --> 00:06:27.279
<v Speaker 4>to a concert tomorrow night, so I'm pretty much gonna

136
00:06:27.279 --> 00:06:27.920
<v Speaker 4>miss the game.

137
00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:29.079
<v Speaker 2>Where are you going? Man?

138
00:06:29.639 --> 00:06:29.759
<v Speaker 1>Oh?

139
00:06:29.839 --> 00:06:32.839
<v Speaker 4>The long word ballroom see soul coughing? I heard spot

140
00:06:32.879 --> 00:06:35.199
<v Speaker 4>Christina has been running. Are you going Christina to the

141
00:06:35.199 --> 00:06:36.160
<v Speaker 4>Soul Coffin concert?

142
00:06:36.240 --> 00:06:36.680
<v Speaker 2>Of course?

143
00:06:36.720 --> 00:06:39.000
<v Speaker 4>I am Devin toured in twenty five years. Did you

144
00:06:39.040 --> 00:06:40.079
<v Speaker 4>watch the game last night?

145
00:06:40.560 --> 00:06:43.240
<v Speaker 2>I watched the first quarter, and what's funny is we did.

146
00:06:43.399 --> 00:06:46.040
<v Speaker 4>Mike just kind of sarcastically said they're killing them, and

147
00:06:46.079 --> 00:06:48.199
<v Speaker 4>I was like, do you watch, they probably will and

148
00:06:48.240 --> 00:06:48.600
<v Speaker 4>they did.

149
00:06:48.759 --> 00:06:50.040
<v Speaker 2>They get nervous a few times.

150
00:06:50.480 --> 00:06:53.480
<v Speaker 4>I got out to fifteen, you know, about eighteen minutes

151
00:06:53.519 --> 00:06:54.120
<v Speaker 4>left in the game.

152
00:06:54.360 --> 00:06:55.680
<v Speaker 2>Oh we uh.

153
00:06:56.000 --> 00:06:59.600
<v Speaker 1>So we did that podcast crossover with follow Wellham de Maris,

154
00:06:59.800 --> 00:07:02.480
<v Speaker 1>and one of the things Demis said was like, look,

155
00:07:02.560 --> 00:07:04.480
<v Speaker 1>neither one of these teams shoot a lot of threes,

156
00:07:04.600 --> 00:07:07.279
<v Speaker 1>but you can't let them beat you at the three

157
00:07:07.319 --> 00:07:09.920
<v Speaker 1>point line. I mean, I don't know what's gonna happen

158
00:07:09.920 --> 00:07:12.439
<v Speaker 1>Friday night. I'm gonna say I don't expect the Mavericks

159
00:07:12.439 --> 00:07:15.199
<v Speaker 1>to hit fifty percent of their threes, but to go

160
00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:19.120
<v Speaker 1>fourteen of twenty eight from three and then also dominate

161
00:07:19.199 --> 00:07:20.240
<v Speaker 1>them in the paint.

162
00:07:20.600 --> 00:07:23.079
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean they dominated them in the paint. Dude.

163
00:07:23.120 --> 00:07:26.920
<v Speaker 3>It was really fun to watch where And again I

164
00:07:26.959 --> 00:07:30.920
<v Speaker 3>was so naive to this, admittedly because I was like,

165
00:07:30.959 --> 00:07:33.319
<v Speaker 3>what they traded Luca Brady, We've already got the two

166
00:07:33.319 --> 00:07:35.959
<v Speaker 3>best sinners in the league. I was unaware of the

167
00:07:35.959 --> 00:07:38.319
<v Speaker 3>whole storyline where he wants to be a power forward, right,

168
00:07:38.399 --> 00:07:41.920
<v Speaker 3>and now I get it, because it's amazing you work

169
00:07:42.199 --> 00:07:44.720
<v Speaker 3>around one of those trees and you're you know, you're

170
00:07:44.759 --> 00:07:46.680
<v Speaker 3>an offensive player playing the Mavericks. You get around one

171
00:07:46.680 --> 00:07:49.800
<v Speaker 3>of those trees, it ain't clear sailing. I mean there's

172
00:07:49.879 --> 00:07:53.720
<v Speaker 3>another badass shot blocker just hanging out, man, and you're

173
00:07:53.720 --> 00:07:55.800
<v Speaker 3>not even sure where they are. Yeah, and it was

174
00:07:55.879 --> 00:07:58.680
<v Speaker 3>cool seeing guys on Sacramento come through the lane and

175
00:07:58.720 --> 00:08:01.519
<v Speaker 3>not even think about shooting now because it was dangerous.

176
00:08:01.560 --> 00:08:04.759
<v Speaker 1>That's dangerous. And then also just to add PJ. Washington

177
00:08:04.839 --> 00:08:05.920
<v Speaker 1>Junior and yes too.

178
00:08:06.639 --> 00:08:06.759
<v Speaker 4>Uh.

179
00:08:06.839 --> 00:08:09.120
<v Speaker 1>And I think the other thing that was super critical

180
00:08:09.319 --> 00:08:12.480
<v Speaker 1>is for the most part, the Mavericks played a playoff

181
00:08:12.519 --> 00:08:16.079
<v Speaker 1>game without a point guard. Yes, and when you look

182
00:08:16.120 --> 00:08:18.319
<v Speaker 1>at the fact that they didn't turn the ball over

183
00:08:18.399 --> 00:08:21.360
<v Speaker 1>a bunch that that's pretty impactful. Man.

184
00:08:21.600 --> 00:08:24.199
<v Speaker 2>They you know, because you worry about that. Yeah, you

185
00:08:24.240 --> 00:08:24.480
<v Speaker 2>know what.

186
00:08:24.560 --> 00:08:27.480
<v Speaker 3>I was surprised Dinwoody wasn't really in the rotation. I

187
00:08:27.519 --> 00:08:28.600
<v Speaker 3>was like, where did this come from?

188
00:08:29.040 --> 00:08:31.600
<v Speaker 1>I think you know they, I know that they had

189
00:08:32.279 --> 00:08:35.759
<v Speaker 1>really dialed in on we want Nanjie to play point

190
00:08:35.799 --> 00:08:39.919
<v Speaker 1>guard so we can play really big defensively. And I

191
00:08:39.960 --> 00:08:43.360
<v Speaker 1>gotta be honest, those first two or three possessions when

192
00:08:43.399 --> 00:08:45.639
<v Speaker 1>he was dribbling around at mid court and I was like,

193
00:08:45.720 --> 00:08:47.200
<v Speaker 1>we're not going to be able to get into any

194
00:08:47.240 --> 00:08:48.000
<v Speaker 1>sets are we.

195
00:08:48.080 --> 00:08:50.039
<v Speaker 3>That's what I was thinking too, because if you're Sacramentaroy,

196
00:08:50.039 --> 00:08:51.759
<v Speaker 3>You're like, they don't have a real point guard.

197
00:08:51.840 --> 00:08:53.240
<v Speaker 2>Let's attack him defensively.

198
00:08:53.360 --> 00:08:55.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and Kean Ellis is a good, you know, defensive

199
00:08:55.960 --> 00:08:58.519
<v Speaker 1>point guard. But you know that was really key for

200
00:08:58.600 --> 00:09:00.519
<v Speaker 1>them to not have a bunch of turns and overs

201
00:09:00.559 --> 00:09:02.159
<v Speaker 1>and to get some stuff. And really, you know, the

202
00:09:02.200 --> 00:09:05.279
<v Speaker 1>first quarter had been flowed for both teams. Mavericks got

203
00:09:05.279 --> 00:09:08.080
<v Speaker 1>a quick burst early and then Sacramento came back. But man,

204
00:09:08.159 --> 00:09:11.399
<v Speaker 1>from the second quarter on, they absolutely destroyed them.

205
00:09:11.639 --> 00:09:11.919
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

206
00:09:12.360 --> 00:09:15.360
<v Speaker 3>Brandon Williams playing with a messed up a bleak or

207
00:09:15.360 --> 00:09:17.720
<v Speaker 3>whatever he's dealing with and like getting knocked to the floor,

208
00:09:17.720 --> 00:09:19.000
<v Speaker 3>get up, hit those free throws.

209
00:09:19.159 --> 00:09:20.279
<v Speaker 2>What a great story he is.

210
00:09:20.399 --> 00:09:22.600
<v Speaker 3>He's a great he can play man. I like him,

211
00:09:22.679 --> 00:09:25.080
<v Speaker 3>and you know they're gonna be without Kai. And the

212
00:09:25.080 --> 00:09:27.080
<v Speaker 3>story comes out last night that Kai could be ready

213
00:09:27.120 --> 00:09:30.559
<v Speaker 3>in January. Yeah, that was Shams, that was reporting that.

214
00:09:30.960 --> 00:09:33.600
<v Speaker 3>By the way, did y'all see that Schams reported that

215
00:09:33.879 --> 00:09:35.960
<v Speaker 3>Nico didn't want to do the press conference in Dumont

216
00:09:36.000 --> 00:09:39.919
<v Speaker 3>made him. I thought that was pretty interesting, Yeah, because

217
00:09:39.919 --> 00:09:42.480
<v Speaker 3>you're sitting here going all right, so did Nico tell

218
00:09:42.519 --> 00:09:47.159
<v Speaker 3>shams by the way, did you see and uh oh,

219
00:09:46.919 --> 00:09:50.679
<v Speaker 3>the GM said that too. The Bob Myers, Yeah, Bob

220
00:09:50.720 --> 00:09:54.000
<v Speaker 3>Myers was saying that too, which was interesting. Yeah, man,

221
00:09:54.039 --> 00:09:56.240
<v Speaker 3>did you Every time they showed Nico in the stands,

222
00:09:56.240 --> 00:09:58.440
<v Speaker 3>I'm like, okay, Number one, he can't sit in the

223
00:09:58.440 --> 00:10:01.480
<v Speaker 3>stands at a home game, right And number two, he

224
00:10:01.559 --> 00:10:06.039
<v Speaker 3>looks miserable like he is, you know, just not having fun.

225
00:10:06.080 --> 00:10:08.440
<v Speaker 2>Obviously he didn't. He never emoted I don't even want

226
00:10:08.480 --> 00:10:09.039
<v Speaker 2>to be around.

227
00:10:10.120 --> 00:10:14.679
<v Speaker 3>That has to be an incredibly stressful situation. But yeah, man,

228
00:10:15.039 --> 00:10:17.679
<v Speaker 3>I just, uh, it restored me in a lot of

229
00:10:17.679 --> 00:10:19.000
<v Speaker 3>ways that I wasn't expecting.

230
00:10:19.039 --> 00:10:20.559
<v Speaker 2>I didn't know how badly I needed that.

231
00:10:20.679 --> 00:10:23.240
<v Speaker 1>I was very and we've said this, but I was

232
00:10:23.320 --> 00:10:27.000
<v Speaker 1>just so happy for Klay Thompson for so many, you know,

233
00:10:27.080 --> 00:10:29.120
<v Speaker 1>different reasons, because you know, the last time he was

234
00:10:29.120 --> 00:10:31.240
<v Speaker 1>in that building, he had a really bad experience for

235
00:10:31.759 --> 00:10:35.000
<v Speaker 1>oh for ten and then missed his first couple of shots.

236
00:10:35.360 --> 00:10:37.039
<v Speaker 1>He's oh for twelve and you know, and so and

237
00:10:37.080 --> 00:10:39.399
<v Speaker 1>then he just took off. But there is you know,

238
00:10:39.480 --> 00:10:42.519
<v Speaker 1>he was interviewed after the game for radio and then

239
00:10:42.519 --> 00:10:45.080
<v Speaker 1>it went on and it ended up being on Scott

240
00:10:45.159 --> 00:10:48.600
<v Speaker 1>Van Pelt, and then I saw this locker room interview

241
00:10:48.919 --> 00:10:50.519
<v Speaker 1>with him and one of the things he said that

242
00:10:50.600 --> 00:10:53.039
<v Speaker 1>was so interesting to me. That just kind of puts

243
00:10:53.080 --> 00:10:55.279
<v Speaker 1>everything in the frame for what this group of guys

244
00:10:55.440 --> 00:10:58.200
<v Speaker 1>are going through and how they're really just playing for

245
00:10:58.200 --> 00:11:01.000
<v Speaker 1>one another and they feel like they're playing for one another.

246
00:11:01.039 --> 00:11:03.799
<v Speaker 2>They don't really feel the support of Dallas. I mean,

247
00:11:04.360 --> 00:11:04.960
<v Speaker 2>you could.

248
00:11:04.720 --> 00:11:06.720
<v Speaker 1>Say they're not you could say whatever you want, but

249
00:11:06.759 --> 00:11:10.399
<v Speaker 1>I'm telling you they're feeling like they're by themselves. And

250
00:11:10.440 --> 00:11:14.000
<v Speaker 1>he said it was really fun tonight because you could

251
00:11:14.080 --> 00:11:17.559
<v Speaker 1>just be fully immersed in the experience. Think about what

252
00:11:17.600 --> 00:11:21.080
<v Speaker 1>that means. Klay Thompson, who's been a part of what

253
00:11:21.240 --> 00:11:24.879
<v Speaker 1>four championships, said it was fun to go on the

254
00:11:24.960 --> 00:11:27.559
<v Speaker 1>road so we could be immersed in the experience of

255
00:11:27.600 --> 00:11:29.799
<v Speaker 1>a playoff game and not have to deal with what's

256
00:11:29.879 --> 00:11:31.200
<v Speaker 1>going on in our own buildings.

257
00:11:31.279 --> 00:11:35.720
<v Speaker 2>Sounds like you watched a game it cause them and

258
00:11:35.720 --> 00:11:40.000
<v Speaker 2>that's how you into radio. He is Kevin Kerner.

259
00:11:40.039 --> 00:11:42.679
<v Speaker 1>He's a complete badass, and I'll never forget the time

260
00:11:42.799 --> 00:11:44.759
<v Speaker 1>he looked Nico Harrison dead in the eye.

261
00:11:45.240 --> 00:11:48.200
<v Speaker 4>He said, well, I just think in these times, I

262
00:11:48.200 --> 00:11:52.360
<v Speaker 4>think it's really important that we all consider everything when

263
00:11:52.360 --> 00:11:54.799
<v Speaker 4>it comes to the world we're living in.

264
00:11:55.200 --> 00:11:57.759
<v Speaker 2>That's free and that's what led to the trade. You

265
00:11:57.799 --> 00:11:58.720
<v Speaker 2>didn't have to pay for that.

266
00:11:58.799 --> 00:12:00.919
<v Speaker 1>Christina is going to stick around play some tunes right

267
00:12:00.919 --> 00:12:02.559
<v Speaker 1>hereund ninety seven point won the eagle.

268
00:12:02.679 --> 00:12:06.759
<v Speaker 2>There you going, well, I'm gonna get my sack backed, dude,

269
00:12:06.960 --> 00:12:08.000
<v Speaker 2>God bless Jesus.
