Speaker 3: on the bus. I think, you know, every morning I
Speaker 3: wake up the grass is wet, and I don't think
Speaker 3: it's from the dew outside. I think we're just it
Speaker 3: might be over watering a little bit. Man, gotta let
Speaker 3: it breeze. Sometimes you drowned it out there.
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness.
Speaker 1: So now you're saying I have an irrigation system. Yes, sprinklers,
Speaker 1: if they come by my house, it looks like nineteen sixties.
Speaker 2: I'm telling you that's all there is too.
Speaker 1: It looks like it looks like the sixties. If you're
Speaker 1: watching the sprinkler go back and forth. It waters my
Speaker 1: driveway in sidewalk more than my grass.
Speaker 2: That's just the facts, but it is what it is.
Speaker 2: This home did not have one, and I'm not putting
Speaker 2: one in.
Speaker 1: So those are the facts. But anyway, welcome back. We've
Speaker 1: got some business. I gotta take care of first answers.

Speaker 1: let's just start last night's game. Anthony, my pet Peeve.
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about the game. We're gonna listen to
Speaker 1: a little clip that we have. When you've got the
Speaker 1: clip ready, Shanon, let me know, because I know you've
Speaker 1: got to reload that when you're ready for people to
Speaker 1: listen to the tape. I since you let me know
Speaker 1: you're ready, Let's listen to Mandarin a little bit. Anthony,
Speaker 1: we off the bench, twenty two year old, are one
Speaker 1: of six players to score these many points in the finals,
Speaker 1: and some of the other names. And you're saying Kobe Bryant,
Speaker 1: Lebron James when you say names like that, and it's
Speaker 1: kind of impressive. So let's listen to a little tape
Speaker 1: of Mandarin going crazy last night against Oklahoma City Thunder. Now,
Speaker 1: I got you, I got you. I understand it'll be
Speaker 1: with us in the second I work channing. You all
Speaker 1: just don't know, guys, I work. When you get it
Speaker 1: going chan and just play it. I'm gonna go to
Speaker 1: my pet Peeves and when I hear it, I will stop. Anthony,
Speaker 1: were watching the game last night. Cason Wallace did it once.
Speaker 1: Who's the other player, Anthony? They did it in the
Speaker 1: second half, took the ball out of bounds, threw it
Speaker 1: in and TJ McConnell stilled the ball. Yeah, Crusoe. Guys,
Speaker 1: listen to me. It's not that they turned the ball over.
Speaker 1: I don't mind that that happens.
Speaker 2: Not that they turned the ball over, it's that they were.
Speaker 1: Taking the ball out of bounds underneath the backboard. Guys,
Speaker 1: listen to me, and girls, when you go to a
Speaker 1: basketball camp and you're hearing all the instruction, if they
Speaker 1: allow your kids to take the ball out of bounds
Speaker 1: underneath the backboard, they've never been told, simple flat dad fact.
Speaker 1: They've never been told. Okay, let's play it. Let's see
Speaker 1: we can.
Speaker 4: George's still off the sea, I can make Yackam's gonna
Speaker 4: try again.
Speaker 1: Three pointer.
Speaker 4: McConnell of the rebound, touch passing side napper and lays
Speaker 4: it up.
Speaker 2: On him Smith.
Speaker 4: It's a math Ron shot. Lockett seven man pulls up
Speaker 4: jump shot his card after and off the bench with
Speaker 4: a couple of buckets. Connell pushes kicks it out, Mathrons
Speaker 4: bakes fires Head's a free Mathrons seven points of three minutes.
Speaker 3: Off the bench.
Speaker 4: I'm a thunderneaed time out. Yeah, okay, see sees a
Speaker 4: little bit out of rhythm. They've got to settle down here,
Speaker 4: say are Bathurn goes in strong and finishes. Mathron huge
Speaker 4: spark off the benchman Screa.
Speaker 1: I think everyone they get the point, Anthony, I think
Speaker 1: they get the point. Matthern just went crazy last night
Speaker 1: on Okay see twenty two years old. Very good player,
Speaker 1: very good player, can score the ball. So Anthony, let's
Speaker 1: go back to the two steals. I do love the
Speaker 1: Pacers for one reason. I still am leaning with my
Speaker 1: OKC thunder. I'm not rolling over on them yet, Anthony.
Speaker 1: It's not looking good.
Speaker 2: But I'm not rolling over yet. But they're gonna have
Speaker 2: to figure out the pressure defense.
Speaker 1: Indiana plays like Coach beards Howard University, Danny Crumb's University
Speaker 1: of Louisville, Rick Patino's can take You Wildcats and University
Speaker 1: of Louisville, Jerry's.
Speaker 2: North Carolina A and T and Simmons College. They pick
Speaker 2: you up and they work you.
Speaker 1: Doesn't mean they're going to steal the ball or turn
Speaker 1: you over, but they wear you out. And my first
Speaker 1: question to you shake Guilders Alexander, he's a bad man, Anthony,
Speaker 1: He's really good. The last five minutes of that game.
Speaker 1: What was he doing at every break? Bending over both
Speaker 1: hands on pants and knees trying to get his breath,
Speaker 1: and they just wore the young man down. The constant
Speaker 1: pressure of always making him work ninety four feet just
Speaker 1: wore him down. And okay, so she's going to have
Speaker 1: to find a way to alleviate that. That's just a
Speaker 1: bottom lot. I don't want everybody understand Michael Jordan didn't
Speaker 1: have to work with that kind of pressure bringing the
Speaker 1: ball up for They need to find a way to
Speaker 1: get shake Gildgs Alexander the ball in scoring position Anthony,
Speaker 1: where he doesn't have to bring him seven, where it
Speaker 1: doesn't have to do ninety four feet of work to
Speaker 1: beat you.
Speaker 2: I mean, he's doing his job, Anthony.
Speaker 1: He's a bad man, but o case, he needs to
Speaker 1: help him because he was flat dam out of gas.
Speaker 2: There was shot it three times in the fourth quarter.
Speaker 1: I want people to know, if you've never played in
Speaker 1: a real game and people are really after you, yes,
Speaker 1: you do get bottom line and that young man worked. Okay,
Speaker 1: so he's gotta figure that out or they're going to
Speaker 1: lose this series.
Speaker 2: What do you think percent?
Speaker 3: I mean we even saw I even saw that the
Speaker 3: eight mid of Mark he just looked like he was
Speaker 3: worn down. He's their play style that they're playing, even
Speaker 3: in Game three, is just not a sufficient play style.
Speaker 3: It's a lot of isolations obviously, SGA and I hate
Speaker 3: to say it, I know people talk about it, that
Speaker 3: foul bait and stuff isn't going to keep on going,
Speaker 3: especially on the road games regular season. He got a
Speaker 3: lot of.
Speaker 1: Something, So you know something's going on, and stay closer
Speaker 1: to wherever because I lost.
Speaker 2: You and you're going in and out.
Speaker 3: Yes, near me right now? Okay, yeah, no, no, you
Speaker 3: go ahead. Yeah, We're just talking about a lot of
Speaker 3: the Their play style just isn't a sufficient play style.
Speaker 3: That's the biggest thing that we've been We've been watching
Speaker 3: and we saw even in Game three, a lot of isolation,
Speaker 3: a lot of standing and watching. They didn't run the
Speaker 3: floor super well in Game three either, and obviously you
Speaker 3: can kind of see the fatigue hitting in on SGA
Speaker 3: a lot, obviously, because Indiana has such depth when it
Speaker 3: comes to the starting lineup and bench. Defensively, I think
Speaker 3: Indiana has showed that they are one of the better
Speaker 3: defending teams in the NBA, especially on guard and wing defenders.
Speaker 3: Big man, we haven't seen as much because they haven't
Speaker 3: played that many good bigs in the playoffs other than
Speaker 3: Karl Anthony Town he has a turn seed to like
Speaker 3: to play like Moles Turner and shoot all threes. So
Speaker 3: he's not a real force in the game when it
Speaker 3: comes to that, when it comes to that presence. But
Speaker 3: when they go through you know, Bendic Matherden, Aaron Aaron E.
Speaker 3: Smith rynd Aaron Nimhard, they have options that they throw
Speaker 3: out there. They'll try to throw Halliburton on there from
Speaker 3: time to time, even though he is kind of their
Speaker 3: their weaker league on defense, he stepped up to the
Speaker 3: plate and has played better defensively as well. Obviously they
Speaker 3: try to switch on him and use him as a mismatch.
Speaker 3: Same thing when they put Thomas Brian in when it
Speaker 3: comes to the guard switching off on bigs and pick
Speaker 3: and roll situations. But they picked up on that and
Speaker 3: they are able to throw fresh bodies at him, and
Speaker 3: it Sj's playing thirty five minutes in the finals game
Speaker 3: getting picked up in ninety four feet. No matter what
Speaker 3: kind of shape you're in, it wears you down. It
Speaker 3: would wear down Steph Curry to. It might look a
Speaker 3: little bit better, it might look.
Speaker 2: A little bit easier, but it played forty.
Speaker 3: Forty Oh, guz right.
Speaker 2: Oh, without a doubt. Guys, he's playing his guts out.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's the coach has to They must make adjustments.
Speaker 1: You he can play forty two minutes, Shake Gildea. Dexander
Speaker 1: is young enough to play forty two minutes in a final,
Speaker 1: but not with the work of bringing the ball ninety
Speaker 1: four feet and scoring it. That's the problem. Okay, So
Speaker 1: he has That's the thing. I didn't factor him with Indiana.
Speaker 1: They're gonna work him every time he has the ball.
Speaker 1: So they're going to have to take Shaye off the ball.
Speaker 1: They're gonna have to do just like Chicago did. Michael
Speaker 1: Jordan's let him receive the ball top of the key,
Speaker 1: free throw line, extended elbow, low block, just like Kobe Bryant,
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan. Everybody knows. They look like to let him
Speaker 1: work players without working the ball up the floor. If so,
Speaker 1: Indiana's gonna be if they do not correct that. If
Speaker 1: they think Shay has to have the ball ninety percent
Speaker 1: of the time and bring it up the floor play forty.
Speaker 2: Two minutes, They're gonna get beat. Indiana's gonna win World championship.
Speaker 2: All there is to it.
Speaker 1: So we're gonna have to watch some adjustments. I just
Speaker 1: can't believe what I'm watching.
Speaker 2: But back to the pet peeve.
Speaker 1: Parents, when you have your son or daughter playing, when
Speaker 1: they take the ball out of bounds, they.
Speaker 2: Must clear the backboard.
Speaker 1: It allows them to throw full court passes like West
Speaker 1: until it allows them to end the ball of the
Speaker 1: bound and balance the ball with the overhead pass, not
Speaker 1: just a chess pass. Are bounce past. It opens up
Speaker 1: all three factions when you stand underneath guys. Okay, so
Speaker 1: he was throwing the ball away. I love TJ. McConnell,
Speaker 1: hard worker, but he's six feet tall, he's got short arms. Guys,
Speaker 1: he's catching the ball because they're studying underneath the backboard
Speaker 1: trying to inbound it. That's Kindergarten one oh one. And
Speaker 1: those two mistakes, Anthony, were huge. In a game like this,
Speaker 1: you can't make those kind of mistakes, Okay, See, you
Speaker 1: just can't.
Speaker 2: It shows that.
Speaker 1: You're intelligence about the game, especially the full court game
Speaker 1: that no one does. My question, Anthony, for everyone, why
Speaker 1: teams do not press Saint John's this year? We can
Speaker 1: say what we want. Saint John's's team wasn't a great
Speaker 1: great team if you look at them position by position,
Speaker 1: But they apply pressure, they work teams. They're better collect
Speaker 1: I believe then they are singularly, but people will not press.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you you watch college games today.
Speaker 2: I'll run my offense, you run yours.
Speaker 1: We're gonna run back, clap the Florida half court and
Speaker 1: play tough half court defense. I just don't understand it, Anthony,
Speaker 1: when the success teams have had from UCLA to the
Speaker 1: University of Louisville, to the Georgetowns with John Thompson, to
Speaker 1: the Rip Patinos in Kentucky and at Louisville, I just
Speaker 1: don't get it. I just don't want people don't end.
Speaker 1: We're watching it now in the NBA. We're watching the
Speaker 1: pressure affect people.
Speaker 2: We are.
Speaker 1: So that's one factor. And we're at seven twenty. We're
Speaker 1: gonna get the break. When we come back, we're gonna
Speaker 1: talk about bench play. In Indiana's bench play is superb.
Speaker 1: That's just one thing. They come in, they've got the
Speaker 1: green light, they come in with the attitude to want
Speaker 1: to score, and we're gonna talk about that after the break.
Speaker 1: It's seven twenty June, the twelfth guys, the years just
Speaker 1: flying by.
Speaker 2: This is the sports radio. We'll talk to you in
Speaker 2: a minute.
Speaker 1: Welcome back to Eve Sports Radio seven twenty four. You
Speaker 1: need to get to work, you need to start to move.
Speaker 1: June to twelfth, Thursday, twenty twenty five. Anthony bench scoring.
Speaker 1: They doubled them forty nine to twenty four.
Speaker 2: I do believe. Yeah, that's no.
Speaker 1: Let me correct that to eighteen. Forty nine to eighteen.
Speaker 1: Unbelievable bench scoring difference. Indiana's bench.
Speaker 2: They play with.
Speaker 1: Confidence, they believe in themselves, and coach Carlisle allows them
Speaker 1: to shoot the ball readily.
Speaker 2: I think Indiana's success is their bench play. Guys.
Speaker 1: I want to let you all know something though I
Speaker 1: can't help him. His name is Motivan, he is Maxwell Moldovan.
Speaker 1: I think he's from Ohio State, Georgia. I'm not sure.
Speaker 1: He just got an eagle Anthony on a four hundred
Speaker 1: and fifty four yards part four. He hits it in
Speaker 1: on his second shot. He's minus two. I said, the
Speaker 1: courser is gonna tear them up. Maybe it's not. That's unbelievable.
Speaker 1: But anyway, the US Open is on, USA, turn it on.
Speaker 1: I just like I love to see pro golfers look
Speaker 1: like myself. That's all trying to hit it out of
Speaker 1: the rough, hacking its sideways and backwards. So anyway, Anthony
Speaker 1: bench scoring, is that going to be the key in
Speaker 1: the playoffs this year for the Pacers.
Speaker 3: It's it's definitely gonna be one of their determining factors.
Speaker 3: But more so it helps them on the defensive side.
Speaker 3: Obviously they're defensive factors, bring offensive scoring, but they bring
Speaker 3: that different spark that they need through different spenders at
Speaker 3: SGA and Jalen Williams and shit their key players to
Speaker 3: kind of slow them down, to wear them down throughout
Speaker 3: the game. I said this even in the last year.
Speaker 3: I said the Pacers are the one team that doesn't
Speaker 3: need a superstar of winning games. Halliburton has doesn't have
Speaker 3: to play well for them to win games. The games
Speaker 3: that he does play well, they solidify their wins. We've
Speaker 3: seen that the games he goes out there, and almost
Speaker 3: tis true. He was the one who says short of
Speaker 3: a triple double last night, they have double digit wins.
Speaker 3: That's almost every almost every game, it's almost a double
Speaker 3: digit win the games out there. In the games that
Speaker 3: he goes out there and they're kind of average, kind
Speaker 3: of mediocre games. The games are a lot closer, or
Speaker 3: they struggle or they lose in their games, but they
Speaker 3: are still closely contested games. That's the only different factor
Speaker 3: about the Pacers, which is a nice thing to have
Speaker 3: to where they know that it's it's a lot easier pressure.
Speaker 3: You know that you don't have to go out there
Speaker 3: and just put the entire team on your back to
Speaker 3: get games done. SG if he doesn't go out there
Speaker 3: and perform, okay See probably has no chance. I'm gonna
Speaker 3: just be realistic. I like okay See as a team,
Speaker 3: but if ACA is not putting up twenty five plus
Speaker 3: points a game, they're not even close in the majority
Speaker 3: of their games. And that's just how they work, and
Speaker 3: that's how most teams work with their superstars. We saw
Speaker 3: it the same way with the Nickson Bronson and Karl
Speaker 3: Anthony Towns. When they struggled, they lost games. Luckily, they
Speaker 3: had help from mikeel Bridges and Ogianna Nubies to kind
Speaker 3: of help that supporting cast. But the more that I
Speaker 3: see okay See play, the more I see how much
Speaker 3: of the supporting cast doesn't do as much as we
Speaker 3: thought they do outside of.
Speaker 2: You know, talk about Chad right, talk about he's been horrible.
Speaker 3: He's been horrible, and and and he got saved this offseason.
Speaker 3: I say he got saved in Isaiah Hartenstein signed with
Speaker 3: him to give them a more physical five to help
Speaker 3: guard the big men in the West.
Speaker 2: And that's why I thought they'd win this seasonly, yes.
Speaker 3: But Hardenstein break back hard, yeah, of course, but they
Speaker 3: they don't play hard done enough in the finals to
Speaker 3: be a factor because his scoring ability is a little
Speaker 3: bit on the low side. You know, he's kind of
Speaker 3: a he likes a little the little mid range floater.
Speaker 3: He does hooks you out from time to time. When
Speaker 3: he does play more aggressively, he does score the ball.
Speaker 3: But I just don't think they like him in the system.
Speaker 3: I think, okay, so he just wants to kind of
Speaker 3: outscore people. They really haven't guarded that well. Even in
Speaker 3: the finals. They're giving up a lot of points. They
Speaker 3: gave up one hundred and seventeen last night, exactly the
Speaker 3: game of four. They've given up triple digits in every game.
Speaker 3: And I'm not saying that's an easy thing to do,
Speaker 3: because it's hard to keep a team in the nineties,
Speaker 3: but at the same time be the number one defensive team.
Speaker 2: They're getting killed.
Speaker 3: By bench scoring more than anything else. You're getting killed
Speaker 3: by backups technically to be the number one defensive team.
Speaker 1: Absolutely, both teams are averaging one hundred and seventeen points
Speaker 1: a game, Anthony, So the Pacers are at one sixteen
Speaker 1: O case he didn't do its job, But you're a
Speaker 1: hundred percent correct if Shay Guilties doesn't do everything for
Speaker 1: that team. For some reason, I thought there were more balanced,
Speaker 1: but when Chad playing the way that he's playing, they're not.
Speaker 2: I like Williams. Williams is playing well for them, but
Speaker 2: they're gonna have to find.
Speaker 1: A way when you, Anthony, as a team, when Oklahoma
Speaker 1: City can shoot forty seven percent from the two, forty
Speaker 1: five percent from the three, and seventy seven percent from
Speaker 1: the free throw line, shoot thirty three throws to your
Speaker 1: opponent twenty two and get beat, that's not a good sign.
Speaker 1: Let me explain that to people again. Oklahoma City last
Speaker 1: night shot forty seven percent from the field, forty five
Speaker 1: point five percent from the three, seventy sixty seven percent
Speaker 1: from the free throw line, and was twenty for thirty
Speaker 1: twenty three for thirty when Indiana was nineteen for twenty two.
Speaker 2: And lost by doubles. That's not good, guys. That's what
Speaker 2: scares me. Now.
Speaker 1: I still think okay Se can win it. This is
Speaker 1: the reason why, Anthony. When Oka See Game two beat
Speaker 1: the Pacers, they have control of the game.
Speaker 2: They control the entire game and the pace.
Speaker 1: Indiana has to always have a flurry to come and
Speaker 1: get you to beat you. And it's like, okay See
Speaker 1: lets down for that three minutes in the third quarter,
Speaker 1: in the first two or three minutes of the fourth
Speaker 1: and allows the Pacers to be up to one. But
Speaker 1: other than that, Okase can control tempo. That's why I'm
Speaker 1: not rolling over yet. But Game three Friday must win
Speaker 1: for OKAC. Most of the time, when teams go up
Speaker 1: tow to one, Anthony, they win the series. When teams
Speaker 1: go up three to one, it's almost a wrap. So
Speaker 1: Friday Night's game is okay season, entire season. They have
Speaker 1: to get a road win. They have to get a
Speaker 1: road win. Indiana did what they had to do in
Speaker 1: Game three. If they win in Game four, it's a rap.
Speaker 1: The Pacers will get their first World championship and I'll
Speaker 1: be jealous, simple as that, really jealous. So anyway, we're
Speaker 1: at seven point thirty. I hate to tell you all,
Speaker 1: I'm sitting here watching the US Open people hitting it
Speaker 1: out of the rough, hitting it out of the church pews.
Speaker 2: They've got a different kind of set of at Oakmont, Anthony, and.
Speaker 1: The greens are so fast. When we come back, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna let you do the national news and you're gonna
Speaker 1: describe what you showed to me last night on the
Speaker 1: practice green at Oakmont Country Club. This is radio on
Speaker 1: numbers five zero two seventy nine hundred. We'll talk to
Speaker 1: you in a minute. Welcome back to the sports radio
Speaker 1: seven thirty five. Unbelievable how quickly time passes. That's when
Speaker 1: you're old.
Speaker 2: That's all.
Speaker 1: Is the sports Radio for numbers five zero two, five
Speaker 1: seventy nine hundred, Anthony National News.
Speaker 2: Take your time and let's hear what's going on. We've
Speaker 2: done a lot of things. Bryson d. Chambeau just teed off.
Speaker 1: He was very fortunate that he hit it to where
Speaker 1: the gallery.
Speaker 2: Had been standing.
Speaker 1: So I see eighty five percent of his ball and
Speaker 1: he's very fortunate off the first tee. But they're playing
Speaker 1: the US Open at Oakmont. Of course, I would love
Speaker 1: just to go see. I wouldn't want to play that
Speaker 1: course for anything in the world.
Speaker 2: I don't have enough balls to play that course anyway.
Speaker 2: I would lose up three balls a hole. So I've
Speaker 2: run out.
Speaker 1: But I can't wait to watch the carnage it's going
Speaker 1: to happen to these pro golfers these four days. I
Speaker 1: can't wait. So Anthony National News, what's going on?
Speaker 3: Yeah, obviously we're still gotta get into We didn't forget
Speaker 3: about that tour and twenty five Clark pomp and Shop
Speaker 3: Baseball All State Tournament, and obviously we got two We
Speaker 3: got two Louisville teams in there in that semi final
Speaker 3: right now. They will be playing June thirteenth. First game
Speaker 3: will be at four pm. We'll have our you know,
Speaker 3: the Trinity sham Ross taking on Boyd County and at
Speaker 3: four o'clock game, and then in seven thirty, and then
Speaker 3: we got at that seven thirty game. We do have
Speaker 3: m Kracking County versus.
Speaker 2: P r P.
Speaker 1: I think Boyd has defeated Trinity this year. I'm not
Speaker 1: sure Trinity is even the favorite. It's gonna be a
Speaker 1: good one.
Speaker 3: That's gonna be a good they're the Trinity is the
Speaker 3: two seed, Boyd County is the three seeds, so they're
Speaker 3: still the favorite. Okay, the p RP isn't the favorite
Speaker 3: against the Cracking County and PRP is secondly ring thirteen
Speaker 3: Mkracking County is number six, So Trinity is a favorite
Speaker 3: to win state championship. Currently PRP is an underdog in
Speaker 3: the game against the Cracking County. What you know, seeding
Speaker 3: doesn't really mean anything. We've seen that through every sport
Speaker 3: in the world. The seating really doesn't matter that much.
Speaker 3: We've seen eight seeds win national championships and high school sports.
Speaker 3: Obviously it's just.
Speaker 2: The luck of the day.
Speaker 3: Sometimes we're the number one seed at ballot and we
Speaker 3: lost in the elite eights, so it happens. Seeding doesn't
Speaker 3: mean anything, true.
Speaker 1: No, that's a fact. I'm just pulling for Pleasure Ridge Park,
Speaker 1: that's all. I guarantee you.
Speaker 2: The place will be packed. Justin County will show up. Trinity.
Speaker 1: Great fans support, great fans support Pleasure Ridge Park. The
Speaker 1: entire community is going to be in Lexington, so it's
Speaker 1: gonna be a lot of fun. Good luck to all
Speaker 1: the young men. I just love getting around when I
Speaker 1: say the dark side. But Trinity's young men that put
Speaker 1: in all the work in the world. They pushed themselves.
Speaker 1: They've got great academics, and they work very hard at
Speaker 1: what they do. So best of luck to both teams.
Speaker 1: PRP best of luck today and we'll wait and see
Speaker 1: what happens over the weekend.
Speaker 3: What else do we have, man, Yeah, of course, and
Speaker 3: obviously everyone knows that score last night that Pacers did
Speaker 3: defeat the thunder one sixteen to one oh seven to
Speaker 3: take a two to one series lead in that Game
Speaker 3: four will be in Indiana this Friday, that we playing
Speaker 3: again at eight thirty as well before they play that
Speaker 3: game five and back in OKC on Monday, so there'd
Speaker 3: be a two game break after Game four, but the
Speaker 3: next game will be played tomorrow night, So short turn
Speaker 3: round for these guys, and hopefully Indiana can get it
Speaker 3: done at home and take that three to one series lead.
Speaker 3: But obviously another news if we can't forget about if
Speaker 3: they do.
Speaker 2: It's over though ending.
Speaker 1: If they go up three to one, Indiana's gonna win
Speaker 1: their first NBA championship. And I love the ringsmiths Dale Davis,
Speaker 1: Reggie Miller, Mark Jackson team.
Speaker 2: But this could be it. If they win Friday, the
Speaker 2: Pacers have a chance.
Speaker 1: Pascal Siakaim will get his second World championship. And you'll
Speaker 1: have to we will have to give the city of
Speaker 1: Indianapolis a lot of credit.
Speaker 2: That's all there is to it, because.
Speaker 1: I want people to know here they they were selling
Speaker 1: tickets on the street. They were trying to get ownership
Speaker 1: packages for anyone to help keep the Pacers in the NBA.
Speaker 2: They struggled back in the seventies. Was not easy.
Speaker 1: So congratulations to the Pacers and everything that's gone with
Speaker 1: that program. So yes, now it's not over the Anthony,
Speaker 1: I'm still leaning with OKC. If OKC wins Friday, they
Speaker 1: win the series, it'll be two two.
Speaker 2: They'll go home and go up three to two. Indiana
Speaker 2: will tie it up three to three, and then OKAC
Speaker 2: will win it at home in Game seven.
Speaker 1: But they must win tomorrow night. It's a must win
Speaker 1: for Okay. See must win so great basketball. Honestly, at
Speaker 1: least both teams get up and down the floor. Anthony, Yes,
Speaker 1: Oklahoma does too much ice old basketball for my opinion,
Speaker 1: But I still love Shay Gildicks.
Speaker 2: He's he's he's young.
Speaker 1: Wait till he mature and really gets in the weight room,
Speaker 1: and they find ways to get him the ball on
Speaker 1: the big box. You find ways to get him the
Speaker 1: ball on the elbow and free throw line extended. You
Speaker 1: find ways to get him the ball at the free
Speaker 1: throw at the top of the key with a live dribble, Anthony.
Speaker 2: He then will be unstoppable.
Speaker 1: But right now they're just making him do so much
Speaker 1: work that it's really unfair. If he is not superman,
Speaker 1: they can't win all theirs too.
Speaker 2: So let's move on, and let's move on college.
Speaker 1: We've got University of Louisville and can't believe it, Murray State.
Speaker 2: In the College World Series. Murray State, that's the Cinderella Anthony,
Speaker 2: the Murray.
Speaker 3: Did you see the police I sens you about Murray
Speaker 3: State's baseball team.
Speaker 1: No, I did not.
Speaker 3: Murray State has one of the small stadiums in college baseball,
Speaker 3: hold eight hundred people, and they said that their baseball
Speaker 3: team was almost so uninfunded that their head coach used
Speaker 3: to cut their own grass the entire season.
Speaker 2: No, that's a great head.
Speaker 3: He cuts their infield in outfield by himself before every game.
Speaker 3: It's on there. I sent you a post. It's on Instagram.
Speaker 3: It's all over the place. Only eight hundred people's dadium
Speaker 3: story and he cuts the grass himself for Marray State.
Speaker 1: Anthony, that's that's the story. I did not see that.
Speaker 1: I'm so glad you brought that up. I want people
Speaker 1: that's the story. I mean, everyone knows. I've been vocal.
Speaker 1: I want athletes to get paid. I was an athlete,
Speaker 1: and I want athletes.
Speaker 2: To get paid. I'm glad.
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk quite a bit about that tomorrow with
Speaker 1: Dwayne Casey, but in what's going on in college athletics.
Speaker 1: But Anthony, I did not see that post. But that
Speaker 1: is the epitome of college sports. I'm going to find
Speaker 1: out about that. I can't wait. I'm gonna read on
Speaker 1: that because that's Anthony sweeping the floor at your gym,
Speaker 1: A line in the chairs.
Speaker 2: I'm telling you myself, Ron, we did it for years, Anthony.
Speaker 1: We cleaned the floor, we mopped the floor, we put
Speaker 1: up the chairs. That's what college athletics is all about
Speaker 1: for the coaches. Not just making millions, I mean millions,
Speaker 1: but that cutting your own grass, being happy to do it.
Speaker 1: I guarantee, Anthony. Of course someone's gonna steal him. He's
Speaker 1: such a great coach. But that's the story. That's the difference.
Speaker 1: That's Butch Beard at Howard University in nineteen ninety when
Speaker 1: I got into coaching Anthony, where we would clean the
Speaker 1: gymnasium ver gymnasium after games.
Speaker 2: We swept the popcorn, we swept the boxes. I promise
Speaker 2: you all, I swear to you all that it was
Speaker 2: college athletics. You did it all. You recruited, you wrote
Speaker 2: the letters, you talk to the parents, you're disciplined the kids,
Speaker 2: you're following the class, all those things. That's a great story. No,
Speaker 2: I didn't see it, Anthony. You're going to re send
Speaker 2: that to me because I can't wait to read that.
Speaker 2: But that's the story.
Speaker 1: I mean, Coast to Carolina very good program, though, Coase,
Speaker 1: to his hand, a good baseball program. But I'm just
Speaker 1: so happy for Murray State. Everyone there, the players.
Speaker 2: I'm pulling for Murray State as all there is to it.
Speaker 2: I'm pulling for Murray.
Speaker 1: State, that's all.
Speaker 2: Now, who do they play, Anthony? Who in will Louis
Speaker 2: Wille play and what will Murray State play in the
Speaker 2: College Roll Series.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so in the COLLEGEO Series. So actually tomorrow Louisville
Speaker 3: will play Oreton State tomorrow at seven o'clock and Arizona
Speaker 3: and Coastal Carolina will play first at Friday at two pm.
Speaker 3: Then the Saturday games will have Murray State will be
Speaker 3: playing UCLA at two o'clock on Saturday, and then LSU
Speaker 3: will be taking on Arkansas at seven o'clock to Saturday.
Speaker 1: Oregon State's gonna be a tough tough out for Louisville,
Speaker 1: but they've been pulling it off. They beat Vanderbilt and
Speaker 1: number one, see it can happen at Vandy twice in
Speaker 1: the last month and a half.
Speaker 2: So Louisville's playing well.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a very tough out with Oregon State.
Speaker 1: Gonna be a really good tournament. Now that will be
Speaker 1: on of course, great weekend to watch sports. Make sure
Speaker 1: that you do the young men. They do not get
Speaker 1: the notoriety of the baseball and basketball players, but they
Speaker 1: should be celebrated for the effort that they put in,
Speaker 1: the coaching, all the above.
Speaker 2: So let's watch the World Series. Can't wait.
Speaker 1: I can't wait to see the article on Murray State's
Speaker 1: baseball coach.
Speaker 2: I just can't so, guys, where are you?
Speaker 4: What?
Speaker 2: Seven four? It just moves on.
Speaker 1: When we come back, we're gonna take our time and
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about the US Open and writing d Chambeau.
Speaker 2: Anthony just punched out and he's using the slope to
Speaker 2: roll the ball.
Speaker 1: Guys, these green the insolation is so crazy and it's
Speaker 1: so fast. Rison's got a birdie putt out of the rough. Anthony,
Speaker 1: probably a fifteen foot birdie putt. I mean, just a
Speaker 1: great shot. So Bryson d Chambeau is off a lot
Speaker 1: of people playing there. I can't believe a man made
Speaker 1: an eg on a four hundred and fifty four yard
Speaker 1: part four. Anthony, he hit it in from one hundred
Speaker 1: and seventy four yards. He's minus two. So anyway, let's
Speaker 1: go to break, Shannon. We'll be back in a second.
Speaker 1: Numbers five zero two, five seventy nine hundred. We'll talk
Speaker 1: to you in a minute. Welcome back to EVE Sports Radio, guys.
Speaker 1: And yes, I'm captured. I'm sorry it's seven forty eight.
Speaker 1: Shannon did catch.
Speaker 2: Me off guard.
Speaker 1: I was just watching Roy McElroy approach shot. Probably got
Speaker 1: a seven or eight foot birdie putt on his first hole. Oh,
Speaker 1: this is crazy, guys. It's so severe and open. Mind
Speaker 1: that the players are landing the ball on a hohod
Speaker 1: ten twenty five yards into the fairway before the green,
Speaker 1: and the balls are rolling pin high. They're rolling twenty
Speaker 1: five thirty yards. It reminds me of the bridge open
Speaker 1: for birdie putts. The ball hits, I'm like, oh, they're
Speaker 1: gonna be twenty yards short. No, the fairways are so
Speaker 1: hard and fast and the greens are so hard and
Speaker 1: fast that they're rolling to where all three players had
Speaker 1: birdie putts out of the rough and did not hit
Speaker 1: it within forty yards of the hole.
Speaker 2: The ball released and rolled.
Speaker 1: So, guys, you're gonna watch a lot of different kind
Speaker 1: of golf today.
Speaker 2: That's all that I can tell you.
Speaker 1: It's really amazing what they've done with the church pews, Anthony,
Speaker 1: the five inch rough, the.
Speaker 2: Speed of the greens.
Speaker 1: So I told you, Oh, Bryson d Chamba had a
Speaker 1: fifteen foot purty putt. He did, He's got a ten
Speaker 1: foot par putt. It rolled by the hole that far, Anthony,
Speaker 1: that severe, that fast, It was almost like mine started
Speaker 1: ten feet away in my second put I'm twelve feet away.
Speaker 1: It looks the same for Bryson d Shamba right now. So, Anthony,
Speaker 1: you're a golfer, what's the hardest part of golf your opinion?
Speaker 3: You know, I can't say there's one hard part of
Speaker 3: golf because all of it's hard. It just all depends
Speaker 3: on what you're better at. Sometimes for me it's getting
Speaker 3: off the tee. Sometimes it can be the short game.
Speaker 2: Your wedges can be all.
Speaker 3: The pudding can be, the putting can be a little laxadaisical.
Speaker 3: So it's it changes from day to day. That's why
Speaker 3: golf is so difficult, because one day you think you
Speaker 3: got something figured out, and the next day it's the
Speaker 3: thing that's killing you.
Speaker 2: Bryce and d Shamba had a fifteen foot birdie putt
Speaker 2: and just walked away with a bogie. Anthony, That's all
Speaker 2: there is to it.
Speaker 1: And he's one of the few players on the Live
Speaker 1: Tour that still can compete at this level.
Speaker 2: He had a fifteen foot birdie putt and walked away
Speaker 2: with a bogie. That's that's how severe this course is.
Speaker 2: Should see him looking back at the old Anthony.
Speaker 1: He's frustrated already, he's upset already, guys.
Speaker 2: You'll have no idea.
Speaker 1: Here's the bottom line with sports. I want people to
Speaker 1: understand Jerry's was a point guard. What made Rtney mccraye
Speaker 1: such a good player. He was a point center. He
Speaker 1: could play all five positions, Anthony, you got me. He
Speaker 1: could legitimately, but most of the time, Scooter McCray was.
Speaker 2: A five to four. Wiley Brown was a power forward,
Speaker 2: Derrick Smith was a small forward. Darryl Griffith was a
Speaker 2: two guard.
Speaker 1: Coach Crumb tried to make Darryl the point my freshman
Speaker 1: year and it just wasn't what he does. In golf,
Speaker 1: you must do all phases. You must be the point guard.
Speaker 2: You got to put the ball. You got to be
Speaker 2: able to chip the ball. You got to be able
Speaker 2: to drive the ball. Anthony, you have to be able.
Speaker 1: To think the course. You got to be the coach. Also,
Speaker 1: you have to understand Jack Tiger, feel Rory. Guys that
Speaker 1: have major championships have really done well. That's you have
Speaker 1: to be able to do it all. That's what makes
Speaker 1: this game so difficult. Some players can put the lights
Speaker 1: out of it, that's all there is to it. Some
Speaker 1: players like Roy McRoy can hit knock the cover off
Speaker 1: the ball. But in golf, you have to be able
Speaker 1: to do all of it. So we have players putting, Anthony,
Speaker 1: I mean legitimately putting with their backs to the hole.
Speaker 2: Guys, this is how severe the greens are. They're putting
Speaker 2: the ball with their backs to the hole.
Speaker 1: They're hitting the ball in one direction, softly letting, using
Speaker 1: the slope bringing.
Speaker 2: It back to the hole. That's how severe. This course is.
Speaker 2: Straight carnage.
Speaker 1: Now you're talking about the lift to whur We never
Speaker 1: talked about it, But guys, we've always criticized rest of
Speaker 1: football players, basketball players, baseball players getting the big contracts
Speaker 1: and not competing at the level that they were when
Speaker 1: we considered them being hungry. Anthony, Well, guys, the professional golfers,
Speaker 1: the Live Tour, they've taken the money. Dustin Johnson won
Speaker 1: it Opmond nine years ago. He's missed five out of
Speaker 1: seven cuts. I want to believe of majors, he can't
Speaker 1: play it all anymore. When Dustin was a dominant figure.
Speaker 1: I mean, guys, the Live Tour and that free money,
Speaker 1: that free money really did. Rory just missed his birdie putt,
Speaker 1: a foot birdie putt, huge breaking putt. But the live
Speaker 1: tour and that guaranteed money and that team concept. The
Speaker 1: guys that have gone other than Bryce and d Schambeau
Speaker 1: do not compete at.
Speaker 2: The level that they did when.
Speaker 1: They were on the PGA Tour. That money numbed them.
Speaker 1: They're not the players. They know they're not the players.
Speaker 1: They don't compete. And the majors like they used to
Speaker 1: come on an I mean John Rahm, I'm still giving
Speaker 1: him credit. He does compete, Oh, Bryce and d Schambeau,
Speaker 1: John Robb. But other than that and the rest took
Speaker 1: the bag. They can't they Scottie Sheffer is going to
Speaker 1: dominate them. It is what it is, and I hated
Speaker 1: to see it for the game.
Speaker 2: I hope that they get this straight.
Speaker 1: I don't mind the players making the money, but you
Speaker 1: can see the ones that took that guaranteed money do
Speaker 1: not compete at the same level. That's all there is
Speaker 1: to it, and they do not. So now that we
Speaker 1: have to put professional golfers in that group, just like
Speaker 1: we did the basketball players, the football players, the baseball.
Speaker 2: Players, Oh, they don't want to play, they're injured.
Speaker 1: Well, the golfers that took the bag do not compete
Speaker 1: in the majors like they used to.
Speaker 2: That's all there is to it. They're not even close,
Speaker 2: so I hate to see that.
Speaker 1: I was wondering if that would happen, and it did
Speaker 1: without a doubt.
Speaker 2: The money numbs them. So watch it today, and that's
Speaker 2: all I can say.
Speaker 1: I know, I'm going to cut some grass and get out,
Speaker 1: but make sure everybody, guys at summertime, enjoy yourself. Be
Speaker 1: safe again. Watch your consumption of alcohol, anthony. People, we
Speaker 1: know that we've had issues with that. Make sure that
Speaker 1: you understand that other people are on the road also,
Speaker 1: and police officers are just trying to do their job.
Speaker 1: I do agree with that aspect. I do not slam
Speaker 1: police officers. But now that the summertime is here and
Speaker 1: people are going to be picnicking, doing a lot of
Speaker 1: outside events, a lot of people love to drink beer.
Speaker 1: It's just not my forte. But I don't knock anybody.
Speaker 1: Everybody's got advice. I'm gonna educate you all, Like I
Speaker 1: tell my team, everyone has advice. Everyone's different, that's all
Speaker 1: there is to it. You have to learn to control
Speaker 1: your vices, so make sure that we do that. Have
Speaker 1: a wonderful day, Aunt and tell me Aunt, we got
Speaker 1: the big dog at Louisville. I mean, I never thought
Speaker 1: Ben Tomorrow would be working for the University of Louisville,
Speaker 1: but we stole another one from Kentucky. So that's another
Speaker 1: huge story. We've got games, We've got a SEC and
Speaker 1: the SEC challenge. Anthony, who's playing?
Speaker 2: Who? I think ULI's got Arkansas? Is that correct? I
Speaker 2: think we're gonna find out. We'll go through it.
Speaker 1: Tomorrow though, and we'll have the one and only Dwayne
Speaker 1: Casey on.
Speaker 2: So that's it.
Speaker 1: And that's a wrap, Shannon, Anthony, you an't got anything
Speaker 1: because I'm done, but you got Andy to wrap the
Speaker 1: show up.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 3: I think we've hit it on the head of all
Speaker 3: the topics out here. We're just gonna watch on this
Speaker 3: US opening this morning. Think we're gonna go and play
Speaker 3: on that US open out there. But you know it's
Speaker 3: gonna be a great day out. You know, always says
Speaker 3: people like supposed to be at work at eight o'clock.
Speaker 3: If you ain't there right now, you're running late.
Speaker 1: Yeah if you're not, but please still be safe while
Speaker 1: you're trying to get there, Shannon, take care of yourself.
Speaker 2: You'll be out tomorrow, correct Shannon or will you be
Speaker 2: with me?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 2: Yeah, got you.
Speaker 1: We'll speak to you on Monday. Have a great weekend.
Speaker 1: Everybody else will be safe. We love you all. I
Speaker 1: did post a clip of myself on X I want
Speaker 1: you to watch the old Jerry's basketball player Anthony.
Speaker 2: I was better than I thought. E Sports Radio. I'm
Speaker 2: out of here, love you all, Bye bye.
