11
00:00:28.760 --> 00:00:31.719
<v Speaker 2>keep reminding you, Dog. I definitely want to get some

12
00:00:32.320 --> 00:00:35.960
<v Speaker 2>insider scoop from you on this investor that's been revealed

13
00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:39.359
<v Speaker 2>for the Orlando First organization. But I'm thinking we need

14
00:00:39.399 --> 00:00:41.079
<v Speaker 2>to hit the Magic first, right.

15
00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:45.840
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, the Magic season over. The defending champion Celtics close

16
00:00:45.920 --> 00:00:49.439
<v Speaker 3>out the Magic last night one twenty to eighty nine

17
00:00:49.479 --> 00:00:54.000
<v Speaker 3>to thirty one point victory for the Celtics. Magic. In

18
00:00:54.119 --> 00:00:56.679
<v Speaker 3>the season, they get closed out four to one.

19
00:00:57.039 --> 00:00:57.960
<v Speaker 4>In the series.

20
00:00:58.240 --> 00:01:02.479
<v Speaker 3>It was it was the Magic were up by halftime,

21
00:01:02.560 --> 00:01:04.799
<v Speaker 3>they were up in the third quarter. That's when Palo

22
00:01:04.959 --> 00:01:10.280
<v Speaker 3>Banko picked up three quick, controversial and crucial fouls that

23
00:01:10.359 --> 00:01:13.719
<v Speaker 3>sent him to the bench. Had five fouls early in

24
00:01:13.799 --> 00:01:16.879
<v Speaker 3>the second half. The fifth foul came when Jalen Brown

25
00:01:17.400 --> 00:01:19.920
<v Speaker 3>was driving to the basket, went up for a shot

26
00:01:19.959 --> 00:01:23.640
<v Speaker 3>and it looked to me that he elbowed Palo in

27
00:01:23.719 --> 00:01:27.640
<v Speaker 3>the face, but officials said Palo stepped into Jalen Brown

28
00:01:27.719 --> 00:01:29.799
<v Speaker 3>as he shot and that was that.

29
00:01:30.079 --> 00:01:31.439
<v Speaker 4>After he went to the bench.

30
00:01:31.599 --> 00:01:35.840
<v Speaker 3>The Celtics scored thirty one of the next forty points.

31
00:01:35.599 --> 00:01:36.680
<v Speaker 4>And game over.

32
00:01:37.760 --> 00:01:40.840
<v Speaker 3>I'm not gonna say that the Magic lost because of

33
00:01:40.879 --> 00:01:44.680
<v Speaker 3>the officiating. I think the Celtics probably would have won

34
00:01:44.719 --> 00:01:48.799
<v Speaker 3>this game anyways, but I thought I thought a couple

35
00:01:48.840 --> 00:01:50.079
<v Speaker 3>of those calls were TICKI tacks.

36
00:01:50.079 --> 00:01:51.280
<v Speaker 4>Were you guys watching it all?

37
00:01:51.640 --> 00:01:54.719
<v Speaker 2>I did watch the highlights this morning. You know it's

38
00:01:55.000 --> 00:01:59.519
<v Speaker 2>the officiating, not just in that game, but across the

39
00:01:59.560 --> 00:02:02.719
<v Speaker 2>board has been interesting. I'll use that word.

40
00:02:03.200 --> 00:02:06.599
<v Speaker 1>All I did, dog was follow the score on my phone,

41
00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:10.479
<v Speaker 1>and I was happy to see them going to halftime leading,

42
00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:13.479
<v Speaker 1>But you know you had that feeling in your gut

43
00:02:13.599 --> 00:02:14.439
<v Speaker 1>like can they hold it?

44
00:02:14.919 --> 00:02:15.120
<v Speaker 4>Yeah?

45
00:02:15.240 --> 00:02:18.560
<v Speaker 3>Ye Again, I'm not blaming the officials. The Magic scored

46
00:02:18.599 --> 00:02:21.800
<v Speaker 3>only one hundred points once in this series. That was

47
00:02:21.840 --> 00:02:24.840
<v Speaker 3>in Game two when they barely hit you know, they

48
00:02:24.879 --> 00:02:27.479
<v Speaker 3>barely hit one hundred that night. The Magic loss the

49
00:02:27.520 --> 00:02:31.360
<v Speaker 3>series because they can't shoot and they can't score. I

50
00:02:31.360 --> 00:02:36.599
<v Speaker 3>mean Pallo and the Franz Franz Wagner. Yeah, they had

51
00:02:36.639 --> 00:02:41.759
<v Speaker 3>great series, but last night Magic eight of thirty eight

52
00:02:41.800 --> 00:02:44.759
<v Speaker 3>from three point range twenty one point one percent. They've

53
00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:47.479
<v Speaker 3>been the worst three point shooting team all season long,

54
00:02:47.800 --> 00:02:50.599
<v Speaker 3>and it came back to Bike in this series yet again.

55
00:02:50.879 --> 00:02:53.360
<v Speaker 3>So that's the story of the Magic season.

56
00:02:53.479 --> 00:02:56.360
<v Speaker 2>Hey, just for the record, Mike and Taco, I do

57
00:02:56.439 --> 00:02:59.080
<v Speaker 2>not relish in the fact that I predicted the Magic

58
00:02:59.080 --> 00:03:02.159
<v Speaker 2>will go down and find to the Celtics. Yeah, I

59
00:03:02.199 --> 00:03:03.159
<v Speaker 2>don't relish that, but.

60
00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:07.240
<v Speaker 1>Now, but good prediction on your side. And Dog, I

61
00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:10.919
<v Speaker 1>predict as I said earlier, and I think Pat agrees,

62
00:03:10.960 --> 00:03:13.240
<v Speaker 1>and I believe you would. We have a great team

63
00:03:13.280 --> 00:03:14.080
<v Speaker 1>to look forward to.

64
00:03:14.879 --> 00:03:18.919
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Franz and Paoello great building blocks, two of the

65
00:03:19.759 --> 00:03:23.080
<v Speaker 3>biggest young stars in the league, twenty two and twenty

66
00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:27.840
<v Speaker 3>three years old. So yes, the Magic's future looks great.

67
00:03:28.039 --> 00:03:30.840
<v Speaker 3>But as I wrote in my column today Sentinel, this

68
00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:33.800
<v Speaker 3>needs to be the last time that Magic fans will

69
00:03:33.800 --> 00:03:37.400
<v Speaker 3>walk away from a first round playoff exit feeling good

70
00:03:37.479 --> 00:03:41.280
<v Speaker 3>about their team. All right, it needs that. The expectations

71
00:03:41.360 --> 00:03:44.599
<v Speaker 3>need to rise next year. The training need or training

72
00:03:44.599 --> 00:03:48.360
<v Speaker 3>wheels need to come off, and Magic need to get

73
00:03:48.360 --> 00:03:51.719
<v Speaker 3>into the playoffs and win some playoff games or win

74
00:03:51.759 --> 00:03:53.599
<v Speaker 3>a playoff series next year.

75
00:03:53.680 --> 00:03:56.800
<v Speaker 4>That's my thought. I see him doing it, right, I hope, So,

76
00:03:57.080 --> 00:03:57.599
<v Speaker 4>I hope. So.

77
00:03:58.159 --> 00:04:00.639
<v Speaker 3>Nuggets beat the Clippers last night. They take a three

78
00:04:00.719 --> 00:04:04.719
<v Speaker 3>to two lead in that series. Jamal Murray forty three points.

79
00:04:05.719 --> 00:04:09.719
<v Speaker 3>Pacers close out the Bucks four to one. Now the

80
00:04:09.759 --> 00:04:13.159
<v Speaker 3>future of the Bucks is in jeopardy. Obviously, Damian Lillard

81
00:04:13.879 --> 00:04:16.800
<v Speaker 3>ruptured his achilles tendon Giannis Onatakumbo.

82
00:04:16.879 --> 00:04:18.319
<v Speaker 4>There are rumors that.

83
00:04:18.319 --> 00:04:21.279
<v Speaker 3>Maybe he may want to be traded because it doesn't

84
00:04:21.279 --> 00:04:24.920
<v Speaker 3>look like the Bucks are gonna be going making any

85
00:04:25.319 --> 00:04:29.160
<v Speaker 3>championship runs anytime soon. This is their third straight first

86
00:04:29.240 --> 00:04:32.199
<v Speaker 3>round exit. So whereas Johann, it's gonna end up. Will

87
00:04:32.199 --> 00:04:37.040
<v Speaker 3>he stay in Milwaukee or go elsewhere. Pistons beat the

88
00:04:37.120 --> 00:04:40.240
<v Speaker 3>Knicks last night, so they stay alive. That series is

89
00:04:40.279 --> 00:04:42.959
<v Speaker 3>three to two in favor of the Knicks, but they're

90
00:04:43.000 --> 00:04:46.120
<v Speaker 3>headed back to Detroit for Game six, so we'll see

91
00:04:46.120 --> 00:04:50.920
<v Speaker 3>what happens there. The baseball story Lynch is talking about. Yeah,

92
00:04:51.480 --> 00:04:56.920
<v Speaker 3>some big time investors have been revealed. The Sentinel has

93
00:04:57.000 --> 00:04:58.959
<v Speaker 3>a story in today's paper. You can read it at

94
00:04:58.959 --> 00:05:04.279
<v Speaker 3>The Orlando Sentinel. Rick Workman is the major investor. He

95
00:05:04.439 --> 00:05:08.439
<v Speaker 3>owns a home and ioworth. He's the founder of Heartland Dental,

96
00:05:08.519 --> 00:05:13.480
<v Speaker 3>which is the nation's largest dental support company. He's committed

97
00:05:13.480 --> 00:05:16.040
<v Speaker 3>to be the anchor investor. And John Morgan, who we

98
00:05:16.079 --> 00:05:19.600
<v Speaker 3>all know, the billionaire lawyer who founded you know, Morgan

99
00:05:19.600 --> 00:05:22.639
<v Speaker 3>and Morgan Law firm, the largest personal injury law firm

100
00:05:22.959 --> 00:05:26.560
<v Speaker 3>in the country. He's committed to hundreds of millions of

101
00:05:26.600 --> 00:05:31.920
<v Speaker 3>dollars if in fact, we build a stadium and get

102
00:05:31.920 --> 00:05:37.079
<v Speaker 3>a team here. So two heavyweights are backing this. Now, Hey,

103
00:05:37.120 --> 00:05:40.360
<v Speaker 3>this is serious, guys. I'm tired of everybody thinking, oh,

104
00:05:40.360 --> 00:05:42.759
<v Speaker 3>it's the Orlando Dreamers.

105
00:05:42.439 --> 00:05:45.879
<v Speaker 4>This is just a pipe dream. It's not. This is real.

106
00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:52.120
<v Speaker 3>The Tampa Bay Rays are in jeopardy of leaving leaving Tampa,

107
00:05:52.160 --> 00:05:54.639
<v Speaker 3>and we need to have our ducks in a row

108
00:05:54.959 --> 00:05:58.560
<v Speaker 3>to get this done. And again, you've got Rick Workman,

109
00:05:58.839 --> 00:06:01.800
<v Speaker 3>You've got John Morgan and behind this.

110
00:06:01.360 --> 00:06:02.920
<v Speaker 4>Uh, this is serious.

111
00:06:03.000 --> 00:06:05.720
<v Speaker 3>This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for Orlando

112
00:06:05.759 --> 00:06:08.399
<v Speaker 3>to get a Major League Baseball team. It's time for

113
00:06:08.480 --> 00:06:12.879
<v Speaker 3>our politicians in city leaders to say they're backing this effort.

114
00:06:13.240 --> 00:06:17.680
<v Speaker 4>That's what we need to happen. So your thoughts, Well.

115
00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:19.279
<v Speaker 2>Does Scott Maxwell approve?

116
00:06:19.920 --> 00:06:20.040
<v Speaker 3>Oh?

117
00:06:20.199 --> 00:06:26.079
<v Speaker 2>Well, of course not little stick in the muddy. Hey, no,

118
00:06:26.160 --> 00:06:29.240
<v Speaker 2>I got in all honesty here, in seriousness, what is

119
00:06:29.319 --> 00:06:33.600
<v Speaker 2>the actual lay of the land as far as Tampa

120
00:06:34.000 --> 00:06:36.639
<v Speaker 2>staying in the Tampa area? Are they going to revisit

121
00:06:36.680 --> 00:06:39.439
<v Speaker 2>the idea of building a stadium in the Tampa area.

122
00:06:39.600 --> 00:06:43.439
<v Speaker 3>I know, yes, I'm sure there. I'm sure they will.

123
00:06:43.600 --> 00:06:46.639
<v Speaker 3>But they've been trying that for decades now and it

124
00:06:46.680 --> 00:06:51.279
<v Speaker 3>hasn't worked. And Ron DeSantis, our governor, has talked to

125
00:06:51.439 --> 00:06:54.480
<v Speaker 3>Rob Mann for the Commissioner of Baseball, and the Commissioner

126
00:06:54.480 --> 00:06:57.720
<v Speaker 3>of Baseball wants a second team in Florida, which is

127
00:06:57.759 --> 00:07:01.079
<v Speaker 3>the third most popular state in the And if it's

128
00:07:01.120 --> 00:07:04.000
<v Speaker 3>not gonna be in Tampa Bay, I'm you know, maybe

129
00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:07.279
<v Speaker 3>they still end up getting a stadium in Tampa Bay.

130
00:07:07.319 --> 00:07:10.680
<v Speaker 3>Great if that happens. But if that doesn't happen, we

131
00:07:10.759 --> 00:07:14.120
<v Speaker 3>need to be ready to pounce when, you know, because

132
00:07:14.160 --> 00:07:16.639
<v Speaker 3>they want to keep a team in Florida and Orlando

133
00:07:16.879 --> 00:07:18.959
<v Speaker 3>is the only other option. It's not like they're going

134
00:07:19.000 --> 00:07:20.519
<v Speaker 3>to put a team in Jacksonville.

135
00:07:20.600 --> 00:07:23.879
<v Speaker 1>And if if they did put a stadium here for

136
00:07:24.040 --> 00:07:26.920
<v Speaker 1>for baseball, UH, it would be out near SeaWorld A

137
00:07:27.040 --> 00:07:28.040
<v Speaker 1>here AQUATICA.

138
00:07:28.160 --> 00:07:31.720
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, okay, right there, all right, I have no problem

139
00:07:31.720 --> 00:07:34.839
<v Speaker 4>with that. Yeah, yeah, well, I mean I'd like it

140
00:07:34.879 --> 00:07:35.600
<v Speaker 4>to be closer.

141
00:07:35.720 --> 00:07:40.879
<v Speaker 2>But you know, uh, Bulldog, your prediction tonight as the

142
00:07:41.000 --> 00:07:45.000
<v Speaker 2>NHL first Round playoff series between your Florida Panthers and

143
00:07:45.240 --> 00:07:49.560
<v Speaker 2>most of Central Florida's UH Lightning, UH is in Tampa

144
00:07:49.600 --> 00:07:52.759
<v Speaker 2>tonight with the Panthers in a position to close them outs.

145
00:07:53.079 --> 00:07:56.000
<v Speaker 3>You know what, even though I'm a huge Panthers fan,

146
00:07:56.120 --> 00:07:58.519
<v Speaker 3>as you guys know, been following them since they had

147
00:07:58.600 --> 00:08:02.360
<v Speaker 3>been to the franchise, I would sort of like to

148
00:08:02.399 --> 00:08:04.879
<v Speaker 3>see this series go a little longer because it's it's

149
00:08:04.879 --> 00:08:07.399
<v Speaker 3>good for sports talk, good for conversations.

150
00:08:07.439 --> 00:08:07.879
<v Speaker 4>It's gone.

151
00:08:07.920 --> 00:08:10.279
<v Speaker 3>I want the I don't want the Lightning fans to

152
00:08:10.360 --> 00:08:14.079
<v Speaker 3>be so distraught after getting closed out in five.
