I'm 19 00:01:05.640 --> 00:01:08.000 almost as excited about that as the fact that Corey 20 00:01:08.040 --> 00:01:10.079 Seger has had another home run in this Ranger game 21 00:01:10.159 --> 00:01:13.280 been six to one, Rangers two bombs for Corey Seeger. 22 00:01:13.480 --> 00:01:18.000 Yep, these bats are back. Yeah, Cory Seger, I guess 23 00:01:18.120 --> 00:01:21.799 we do know? Hold on Presidy, Can I hear that again? 24 00:01:22.280 --> 00:01:25.719 Well the paraphrase Corey Seeger, I guess we do know? 25 00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:31.040 Yeah, the power phrase. So Luca is back. This is 26 00:01:31.079 --> 00:01:33.760 an emotional night for all of DFW. It's the biggest 27 00:01:33.760 --> 00:01:36.159 story in town, one of the biggest stories on planet Earth. 28 00:01:37.079 --> 00:01:41.680 Nobody can understand how we the Mavericks traded a twenty 29 00:01:41.719 --> 00:01:45.840 five year old global icon and it's just not done. 30 00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:48.680 It's as you just don't see it happen ever, like 31 00:01:48.840 --> 00:01:51.359 maybe a guy demands a trade to go somewhere, maybe, 32 00:01:51.959 --> 00:01:55.480 but to be traded, to be blindsided. And look, it 33 00:01:55.560 --> 00:01:57.400 hasn't gone well for the Mavericks, and for a lot 34 00:01:57.439 --> 00:02:01.000 of different reasons. Almost everyone in their organization has been hurt. 35 00:02:01.200 --> 00:02:04.239 I mean everybody. It's the walking wounded. Guys have been 36 00:02:04.359 --> 00:02:07.079 banged up and hurt. I got injured doing a game. God, 37 00:02:07.159 --> 00:02:10.120 there's so many roster problems, like there was a question 38 00:02:10.159 --> 00:02:12.240 of the mapsn't even have enough bodies to suit up 39 00:02:12.280 --> 00:02:15.319 for a game. Good news Ben, not for tonight, but 40 00:02:15.520 --> 00:02:18.520 for the Toronto game, we got Brandon Williams back, great wedding. 41 00:02:18.560 --> 00:02:21.879 Back from Friday and Sunday against the grizz things are 42 00:02:22.919 --> 00:02:25.879 I never imagine a millionaires. I'd be so excited to 43 00:02:25.919 --> 00:02:27.199 get a two way player back. 44 00:02:27.439 --> 00:02:28.919 He's that's great. 45 00:02:28.960 --> 00:02:31.360 Oh, by the way, do you know who's questionable for 46 00:02:31.439 --> 00:02:37.319 tonight's game? Dante XM Yep, look out dude. That means 47 00:02:37.400 --> 00:02:38.960 he might be back in time for the play in. 48 00:02:39.039 --> 00:02:40.400 That'd be huge. Great. 49 00:02:41.319 --> 00:02:44.080 Look, these are tough times. These are tough times, and 50 00:02:44.960 --> 00:02:46.960 emotions are going to be high. This is the weirdest 51 00:02:47.439 --> 00:02:51.199 sporting event maybe ever, because there will be more Luca 52 00:02:51.319 --> 00:02:52.960 fans in the house than Maverick fans. 53 00:02:54.120 --> 00:02:55.199 Do you remember, like. 54 00:02:55.360 --> 00:02:59.120 Usually these these are go bad the return you know 55 00:02:59.360 --> 00:03:01.199 of someone you usually it's man. Do you remember when 56 00:03:01.240 --> 00:03:05.759 the Rangers had a rod Well when he went to 57 00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:08.479 Seattle for the first time and Seattle would printed out 58 00:03:08.599 --> 00:03:11.360 like money and they're like throwing fake money on the 59 00:03:11.400 --> 00:03:13.800 field and stuff because he signed for two hundred and 60 00:03:13.879 --> 00:03:15.120 fifty two million dollars. 61 00:03:15.360 --> 00:03:16.000 Yeah, like that's what. 62 00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:19.680 It's never like this where I think everyone in the 63 00:03:19.759 --> 00:03:21.960 arena wants the other team to win. I think a 64 00:03:22.039 --> 00:03:23.719 good portion of them. What I mean, I want the 65 00:03:23.800 --> 00:03:25.479 MAVs to win, but I think a lot of people 66 00:03:25.479 --> 00:03:27.280 there are going to be pulling for the Lakers tonight, 67 00:03:27.360 --> 00:03:28.439 and that drives me nuts. 68 00:03:28.520 --> 00:03:29.360 But it's what it is. 69 00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:32.719 The that'll be The real interesting thing is how noticeable 70 00:03:32.800 --> 00:03:36.240 it is. That's what I'm so I guess anticipatory about 71 00:03:36.280 --> 00:03:41.439 more than anything, because look, everyone didn't cancel their season tickets. 72 00:03:41.599 --> 00:03:42.360 That didn't happen. 73 00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:45.080 Okay, there's a lot of people, and I see him 74 00:03:45.080 --> 00:03:47.719 at games all the time that are still season ticket holders, 75 00:03:48.120 --> 00:03:50.960 and those people are probably going to be rooting for 76 00:03:51.039 --> 00:03:54.000 the Mavericks and Luca at the same time I will. 77 00:03:54.159 --> 00:03:57.000 And then there's going to be keep in mind, even 78 00:03:57.120 --> 00:04:01.479 before Luca, the Lakers always traveled really really well. Anyways, 79 00:04:01.960 --> 00:04:04.639 we always make jokes about look at all these Kobe jerseys. 80 00:04:04.919 --> 00:04:06.759 And then on top of that, there's gonna be people 81 00:04:06.800 --> 00:04:10.240 that are no longer Maverick fans, but they're only Luca fans, 82 00:04:10.280 --> 00:04:11.560 and they went out of their way to come to 83 00:04:11.639 --> 00:04:14.840 this game to show it. And so when the Mavericks 84 00:04:14.919 --> 00:04:17.879 make a bucket, there's gonna be noise. There's gonna be 85 00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:22.920 your normal home crowd noise. However, when Luca makes a bucket, 86 00:04:23.519 --> 00:04:26.879 there's gonna be probably more noise than anything, and then 87 00:04:26.920 --> 00:04:30.879 there's gonna be Laker noise whenever Austin Reeves makes a bucket. 88 00:04:31.360 --> 00:04:36.360 So it's gonna be the strangest crowd reaction in a 89 00:04:36.560 --> 00:04:40.000 home game that really anyone has ever seen. 90 00:04:40.480 --> 00:04:43.519 There's really nothing like this to even compare it to. 91 00:04:43.920 --> 00:04:46.160 I need I need an offseason. 92 00:04:46.399 --> 00:04:48.240 I just can't get to the off season fast enough 93 00:04:48.279 --> 00:04:50.519 to really process emotionally how I feel about all this. 94 00:04:50.600 --> 00:04:52.560 To be honest with you, yeah, I don't even know 95 00:04:52.639 --> 00:04:54.839 how I feel about being a mass fan moving forward 96 00:04:54.879 --> 00:04:57.560 into the future. I love this team. It's always been 97 00:04:57.639 --> 00:05:00.199 my team. But I'm gutted by this. I mean it 98 00:05:00.360 --> 00:05:02.560 is I don't even on. My brain is having a 99 00:05:02.600 --> 00:05:05.079 hard time processing it. And it would have been so 100 00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:08.279 much easier to process if they had been healthy, because 101 00:05:08.319 --> 00:05:10.920 what we saw in the one half before Anthony Davis 102 00:05:10.959 --> 00:05:14.680 got hurt, what we saw in that one half was like, Okay, 103 00:05:14.800 --> 00:05:16.879 they could be going to the finals again this year. 104 00:05:17.000 --> 00:05:18.800 That's how good they look. They looked like they could 105 00:05:18.839 --> 00:05:22.560 beat anybody. But it's an incomplete work because we didn't 106 00:05:22.639 --> 00:05:25.079 even get to see that, right, So it does nothing 107 00:05:25.160 --> 00:05:28.639 for you that tonight might be Clinch night. Clinch that 108 00:05:28.759 --> 00:05:32.839 ass clinch what a plan? I mean, yeah, because there's three. 109 00:05:32.759 --> 00:05:37.160 Up with three to play on and Phoenix plays Oklahoma City. 110 00:05:37.199 --> 00:05:38.560 So if the MAVs win tonight. 111 00:05:38.480 --> 00:05:40.439 If the maths when they're in, because the magic number 112 00:05:40.480 --> 00:05:42.959 with two is Phoenix and Phoenix got drummed last night. 113 00:05:43.079 --> 00:05:46.519 Yeah, so it's two they win. Yeah, they're in. They're 114 00:05:46.560 --> 00:05:49.319 in the place is Clinch Night. Anything happens on Clinch Night. 115 00:05:49.720 --> 00:05:50.959 You always say that. I don't. 116 00:05:51.000 --> 00:05:53.079 There's not a lot of hope there because there's no 117 00:05:53.839 --> 00:05:56.079 like getting in. All I want is the best bet 118 00:05:56.199 --> 00:05:58.680 draft pick possible. Well, I want to get better and 119 00:05:58.800 --> 00:06:01.160 contend or can And they're in the middle. 120 00:06:01.279 --> 00:06:01.439 You know. 121 00:06:03.000 --> 00:06:06.160 Now, if they were to upset Oklahoma City, that'd be insane. 122 00:06:06.240 --> 00:06:08.360 If they get into the play in and advance and 123 00:06:08.399 --> 00:06:09.639 then to upset Oklahoma City. 124 00:06:09.519 --> 00:06:11.279 It's like, oh my god. Okay, this has been a 125 00:06:11.360 --> 00:06:12.040 magical ride. 126 00:06:12.439 --> 00:06:14.920 But I think that's just a series of other guillotines 127 00:06:14.920 --> 00:06:17.879 waiting for them right now. I mean, it would be 128 00:06:18.160 --> 00:06:21.720 very difficult to beat Oklahoma City unless Oklahoma City had 129 00:06:21.800 --> 00:06:24.639 similar injuries, right, me a crack. 130 00:06:24.439 --> 00:06:26.399 At doing something that's never been done before. 131 00:06:26.600 --> 00:06:31.560 I mean, shot, yeah, I think the likelihood of having 132 00:06:31.639 --> 00:06:35.639 a pick that's higher than twelve is so minuscule. I'd 133 00:06:35.720 --> 00:06:40.480 rather just see what you can do. And dude, I mean, look, 134 00:06:40.519 --> 00:06:42.639 you're not going to beat the best team in basketball 135 00:06:42.720 --> 00:06:46.920 without Kyrie Irving probably it seems very unlikely. But they 136 00:06:47.000 --> 00:06:49.519 will have a good portion of the rest of their 137 00:06:49.560 --> 00:06:54.000 team healthy. And so if they did get Dante XM 138 00:06:54.079 --> 00:06:58.040 back and then they had Spencer and Dante and Brandon Williams, well, 139 00:06:58.160 --> 00:07:00.120 then it can be a more competitive thing. And then 140 00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:02.920 Oklahoma City has to do with Anthony Davis and Gafford 141 00:07:03.000 --> 00:07:06.000 and live. Here's the thing I'm also very excited about tonight. 142 00:07:06.879 --> 00:07:10.480 This will be the first game where you have your 143 00:07:10.600 --> 00:07:15.560 full front line without minute restrictions. Now, because of the 144 00:07:15.600 --> 00:07:17.560 way they play in general, it's not like some guys 145 00:07:17.680 --> 00:07:19.560 gonna go out there and have thirty eight minute game. 146 00:07:19.720 --> 00:07:21.959 Like I still think I doubt Ad plays more than 147 00:07:21.959 --> 00:07:25.560 thirty two minutes or whatever. But this is a this 148 00:07:25.759 --> 00:07:28.759 is a battle of teams that play way differently, and 149 00:07:28.959 --> 00:07:32.480 so the you know, Luca's gonna have to be great 150 00:07:33.120 --> 00:07:34.920 for them to go in there and do what they 151 00:07:35.000 --> 00:07:37.240 want to do and Lebron and Austin Reeves. Those three 152 00:07:37.240 --> 00:07:39.800 guys are gonna have to be great because the Mavericks 153 00:07:39.839 --> 00:07:43.319 should be able to play baller defense, and those guys 154 00:07:43.360 --> 00:07:45.720 are gonna be amped up for this. It's the most 155 00:07:46.120 --> 00:07:51.959 anticipated regular season basketball game in the NBA in a decade. Yeah, 156 00:07:52.160 --> 00:07:54.959 and I wonder how Jkid approaches the game. You know, 157 00:07:55.040 --> 00:07:57.120 we'll get into this later, but it certainly if you 158 00:07:57.199 --> 00:08:00.720 read Mark Stein, it certainly feels like Lucas Campus does 159 00:08:00.839 --> 00:08:03.279 not think this was all Nico the trade. They certainly 160 00:08:03.360 --> 00:08:06.160 think j Kid is culpable as well. That would be 161 00:08:06.240 --> 00:08:09.519 his prerogative as the coach. But like, how much of 162 00:08:10.519 --> 00:08:13.120 Luca's angst is directed towards j Kid because he'll be 163 00:08:13.120 --> 00:08:15.879 able to see him the whole night, right? And then 164 00:08:15.920 --> 00:08:18.240 how does Jake Kidd approach it? Does anybody in the 165 00:08:18.319 --> 00:08:21.920 Mavericks organization care how it goes other than just winning? 166 00:08:22.399 --> 00:08:26.240 Like in other words, you have everybody knows Luca's game 167 00:08:26.360 --> 00:08:28.800 exceedingly well. He's played his whole career here until recently. 168 00:08:28.920 --> 00:08:31.800 So they've seen some teams try to blitz Luca and 169 00:08:31.839 --> 00:08:33.440 get the ball out of his hands. This happens with 170 00:08:33.480 --> 00:08:35.919 a lot of superstars. They've seen some teams go no, 171 00:08:36.000 --> 00:08:39.279 we're just gonna play you straight up. And if you know, so, 172 00:08:39.480 --> 00:08:42.320 which way will they choose to go? And like they 173 00:08:42.639 --> 00:08:45.679 do they care if Luca has a pedestrian game statistically 174 00:08:45.879 --> 00:08:48.919 versus like the owner does you know the governor does 175 00:08:49.000 --> 00:08:51.639 he would he much rather Luca had a pedestrian game 176 00:08:51.720 --> 00:08:54.120 or does it hurt more if he goes for sixty 177 00:08:54.200 --> 00:08:56.559 against him? You know, I don't know, that's super interesting. 178 00:08:56.559 --> 00:08:59.320 I haven't even thought about whether or not Patrick Dumont 179 00:08:59.360 --> 00:09:00.960 will be in the house else does he want to 180 00:09:01.039 --> 00:09:03.879 be in the house for this, Like you know, Nico's 181 00:09:04.080 --> 00:09:08.279 changed where he is in the arena. Yeah, though I 182 00:09:08.360 --> 00:09:10.559 think he's going to be in the tunnel where he's 183 00:09:10.600 --> 00:09:13.759 been Yeah, I mean I I would be surprised if 184 00:09:13.799 --> 00:09:14.679 he if he moved. 185 00:09:15.200 --> 00:09:16.039 Maybe I don't know. 186 00:09:16.240 --> 00:09:20.879 Maybe there's maybe the NBA wants for security reasons for 187 00:09:21.000 --> 00:09:23.559 them to not have those guys, And that's how volatile 188 00:09:23.679 --> 00:09:26.039 the thing has been that that would even be a consideration. 189 00:09:26.519 --> 00:09:27.480 And it could be too that. 190 00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:29.559 You know, I don't know how those guys feel. They 191 00:09:29.600 --> 00:09:31.159 may be like I don't want to be a distraction, 192 00:09:31.320 --> 00:09:32.960 so I don't want to be here. But man Nico 193 00:09:33.080 --> 00:09:34.879 was in the building in La and it wasn't no thing. 194 00:09:35.679 --> 00:09:37.639 You know, he was down there on the court. So 195 00:09:38.000 --> 00:09:40.159 the other side of the ball, when when the Mavericks 196 00:09:40.240 --> 00:09:42.840 have the ball, clearly they're going to want to attack Luca, right, 197 00:09:43.080 --> 00:09:43.720 so who does that? 198 00:09:44.039 --> 00:09:46.600 What's the matchup that works best for that? You, Kyrie? 199 00:09:46.720 --> 00:09:47.919 Right now, they don't really have that. 200 00:09:48.240 --> 00:09:50.600 I mean, Luca's probably going to be covering Clay most 201 00:09:50.639 --> 00:09:54.159 of the night. I could see a couple times where 202 00:09:54.200 --> 00:09:57.919 he's covering. So the problem, well know, because then you 203 00:09:58.000 --> 00:10:01.039 could you could put Austin Reeves on vincer Dinwiddie, and 204 00:10:01.120 --> 00:10:04.240 then you could put Luke on Clay. It's but then 205 00:10:04.279 --> 00:10:07.799 they go even smaller with Vincent. That's gonna it's that's 206 00:10:07.840 --> 00:10:09.840 part of the fun of the intrigue of the matchup. 207 00:10:09.879 --> 00:10:13.000 The Mavericks are way bigger and stronger, and the Lakers 208 00:10:13.039 --> 00:10:13.759 are more perimeter. 209 00:10:14.039 --> 00:10:16.360 You know what really speaks to how big this is. 210 00:10:17.120 --> 00:10:19.440 It's like growing up as a kid, you would say, oh, 211 00:10:19.519 --> 00:10:21.720 one of the bulls come into town. Okay, you try 212 00:10:21.799 --> 00:10:25.200 to get you know, tickets for you know, Michael Jordan, 213 00:10:26.240 --> 00:10:27.879 when you said Lebron a minute ago or one of 214 00:10:27.919 --> 00:10:28.960 you said Lebron a minute ago. 215 00:10:29.000 --> 00:10:29.879 I went, oh, yeah, he's on. 216 00:10:29.879 --> 00:10:33.240 The Like, dude, this is like like maybe last five, six, 217 00:10:33.360 --> 00:10:36.080 seven times Lebron will ever play here in town. 218 00:10:36.320 --> 00:10:38.799 Yeah, And I ain't thinking about him for a second. 219 00:10:38.879 --> 00:10:40.639 What are you talking about, dude? He's having his best 220 00:10:40.720 --> 00:10:42.679 year ever and he's got like zero percent body fat. 221 00:10:43.120 --> 00:10:45.039 Is he gonna play how I play for another decade? 222 00:10:45.600 --> 00:10:48.600 It is interesting depending on what role he wants to take. 223 00:10:49.360 --> 00:10:52.000 You know, he could he could play longer, Like would 224 00:10:52.000 --> 00:10:53.759 he ever be cool with coming off the bench? 225 00:10:53.919 --> 00:10:54.080 Now? 226 00:10:54.120 --> 00:10:56.679 He's not close to that now, but I think in 227 00:10:56.840 --> 00:10:59.799 two years if he wanted to play fifteen minutes and 228 00:10:59.840 --> 00:11:02.759 now off the bench, I would love that on my team. Now, 229 00:11:02.799 --> 00:11:05.200 you can't pay that fifty million dollars a year or whatever, 230 00:11:05.360 --> 00:11:07.879 but it's certainly in play if that's what he wants 231 00:11:07.919 --> 00:11:11.159 to do with his life. I'm I'm struggling with this 232 00:11:11.279 --> 00:11:13.279 in so many ways, and I feel bad for every 233 00:11:13.360 --> 00:11:17.240 Mavericks employee because not every Mavericks employee made this trade, 234 00:11:17.279 --> 00:11:19.759 and so they're like, even you guys as broadcasters are 235 00:11:19.879 --> 00:11:22.080 are put in a tough spot. But like I see 236 00:11:22.120 --> 00:11:24.840 a lot of the stuff that's out there, like saying 237 00:11:24.919 --> 00:11:27.519 thank you Luca and Slovenian and things like that, and 238 00:11:27.559 --> 00:11:30.360 there's gonna be montage videos and appreciation and it's like 239 00:11:30.399 --> 00:11:33.519 the people that made those videos, man, God bless him 240 00:11:33.519 --> 00:11:35.480 for making those and but Party of You is like. 241 00:11:36.159 --> 00:11:38.360 You didn't have to trade him. Why are we doing 242 00:11:38.480 --> 00:11:40.799 this montage? Like he still could be you know what 243 00:11:40.840 --> 00:11:42.919 I mean. But it's like it's it's complicated because it's 244 00:11:42.919 --> 00:11:43.440 not their fault. 245 00:11:43.480 --> 00:11:47.360 They're just I know, but that's like getting caught up 246 00:11:47.440 --> 00:11:50.000 in something that's never gonna change and is in the past. 247 00:11:51.080 --> 00:11:53.480 Like that, doesn't you know at some point you got 248 00:11:53.600 --> 00:11:54.639 to move on with your life. 249 00:11:54.879 --> 00:11:56.759 Just not there yet. I can't take me a while. 250 00:11:56.879 --> 00:11:58.480 I get I need an off season. I need this 251 00:11:58.559 --> 00:12:00.759 season to be over with and just move forward. Unless 252 00:12:01.240 --> 00:12:03.759 they go on a huge run and beat Oakums and 253 00:12:03.840 --> 00:12:07.480 then back in I mean that's probably not gonna happen. 254 00:12:08.159 --> 00:12:10.639 It'll be this offseason, all right. What are we gonna 255 00:12:10.679 --> 00:12:14.240 do next? I got something I want to tell you guys. 256 00:12:14.320 --> 00:12:17.679 How I knew today was not going to go well 257 00:12:17.720 --> 00:12:20.600 for the Mavericks And I'll tell you what that is next. 258 00:12:20.879 --> 00:12:23.679 Did you guys see who's officially listed as out for 259 00:12:23.799 --> 00:12:30.000 tonight's game, stopped looking hold on Kyrie, that's probably one 260 00:12:30.320 --> 00:12:34.120 out for season, Christina, Okay, yeah, is there another bad. 261 00:12:34.600 --> 00:12:38.240 Injury thing that's going to hurt our hearts? It depends 262 00:12:38.519 --> 00:12:39.559 on who you're rooting for. 263 00:12:41.000 --> 00:12:43.960 Is it that one Redhead fan who's been yelling fire 264 00:12:44.039 --> 00:12:44.879 Nico for months? 265 00:12:45.000 --> 00:12:47.639 Is it Bingo card once again? Maxi Cleve has been 266 00:12:47.759 --> 00:12:49.159 ruled out for tonight's. 267 00:12:50.080 --> 00:12:51.679 I don't think about that. 268 00:12:51.840 --> 00:12:53.639 Him and Dorian are back and we're not even doing that. 269 00:12:53.720 --> 00:12:55.080 Are we having tribute videos for them? 270 00:12:55.240 --> 00:12:56.679 Yes? Pretty serious. 271 00:12:56.799 --> 00:13:01.039 In fact, I think they're merging the Maxi Dorian Finney 272 00:13:01.120 --> 00:13:04.919 Smith and uh, I'm blinking on the name of the 273 00:13:05.000 --> 00:13:07.240 twin Morris market. 274 00:13:07.799 --> 00:13:10.399 We're having a Morris Brother. You're making a joke, right, Yes, 275 00:13:10.519 --> 00:13:12.200 they should do a Maxi tribute video. 276 00:13:12.360 --> 00:13:16.320 Yeah, I mean I so they're in a horrible position 277 00:13:16.559 --> 00:13:19.039 because if they do a Maxi tribute video, they'll get 278 00:13:19.159 --> 00:13:21.519 killed for it. And if they and if they don't 279 00:13:21.600 --> 00:13:24.879 do a Maxi tribute video, someone's gonna go Wait a minute, 280 00:13:24.879 --> 00:13:25.360 did they do a. 281 00:13:25.399 --> 00:13:28.039 Maxi tribute video last night? I don't remember that. I'm 282 00:13:28.080 --> 00:13:28.960 mad about that now. 283 00:13:29.200 --> 00:13:33.919 The disrespect. I remember I was so mad every time 284 00:13:33.960 --> 00:13:37.720 they resigned it. But I want a tribuo video right Man. 285 00:13:37.840 --> 00:13:41.879 By the way, tribute videos are out of control. 286 00:13:42.399 --> 00:13:44.639 What do you mean we did one for Spencer Dinwiddie 287 00:13:44.639 --> 00:13:48.000 didn't do and we every team now does a tribute video. 288 00:13:48.080 --> 00:13:50.279 I mean, did the Lakers do a Max Christie? I 289 00:13:50.320 --> 00:13:53.519 wouldn't be surprised if they did. The tribute videos are 290 00:13:53.639 --> 00:13:54.159 out of hand. 291 00:13:54.279 --> 00:13:55.240 Man has something to do. 292 00:13:55.440 --> 00:13:57.519 Man, we got we need more content. We can't just 293 00:13:57.960 --> 00:13:59.480 you know, see if this guy can make a half 294 00:13:59.519 --> 00:13:59.919 court show. 295 00:14:00.600 --> 00:14:03.639 And here's the deal with that. 296 00:14:03.919 --> 00:14:09.360 So if you're playing against somebody who is going to 297 00:14:09.679 --> 00:14:13.200 use something you're doing is bulletin board fodder, the easiest 298 00:14:13.240 --> 00:14:15.440 way to get them from not being angry is to 299 00:14:15.480 --> 00:14:16.639 give them a tribute video. 300 00:14:17.159 --> 00:14:17.320 Right. 301 00:14:17.440 --> 00:14:18.080 I was pissed. 302 00:14:18.080 --> 00:14:19.879 I was gonna murder you, but then you broke my 303 00:14:19.960 --> 00:14:22.279 heart with that touching video that gave me so much 304 00:14:22.360 --> 00:14:23.000 love and respect. 305 00:14:23.080 --> 00:14:25.639 Wait who edited this thing? I would have made a 306 00:14:25.720 --> 00:14:28.200 way different video for me than this. I'm pissed now 307 00:14:28.200 --> 00:14:32.000 I'm going to drop fifty. You need a tribute video 308 00:14:32.879 --> 00:14:33.360 for a guy. 309 00:14:33.720 --> 00:14:36.559 I think there should be a limit, Like you should 310 00:14:36.600 --> 00:14:39.080 have scored a certain number of points, a sister rebounds 311 00:14:39.120 --> 00:14:40.600 to play a certain number of years and had a 312 00:14:40.639 --> 00:14:42.320 certain win percentage. Kind of like a hall of fame. 313 00:14:42.360 --> 00:14:43.720 Don't put everyone in the Hall of fame. Don't make 314 00:14:43.720 --> 00:14:46.559 everyone a tribute video. Everybody gets a tribute video. Now 315 00:14:46.639 --> 00:14:49.600 it's like being an Oprah's audience. I have been thinking 316 00:14:49.639 --> 00:14:51.759 about this. I mentioned this on the podcast we did 317 00:14:51.919 --> 00:14:56.759 yesterday with the tick that with you guys. I think Luca, 318 00:14:56.840 --> 00:15:00.799 in his mind is already won. Like he's played in Dallas. 319 00:15:01.000 --> 00:15:03.279 There's gonna be a packed house of every There's not 320 00:15:03.360 --> 00:15:05.679 one person there that's gonna be anti Luca. There will 321 00:15:05.720 --> 00:15:07.240 be a ton of people there that are pro mav 322 00:15:07.320 --> 00:15:09.919 and pro Luca, so the nature of a home game, right, 323 00:15:10.039 --> 00:15:11.840 and then there will be Lakers fans that are pro Lakers, 324 00:15:11.879 --> 00:15:14.759 pro Lucas. Oh so many Kobe jerseys. He's already won. 325 00:15:15.320 --> 00:15:18.720 And so I just I think he may like succumb 326 00:15:18.759 --> 00:15:21.519 to the emotion of it all. And I don't think 327 00:15:21.600 --> 00:15:23.720 he's gonna play with vengeance in his heart like we've 328 00:15:23.720 --> 00:15:25.960 seen him do before, like somebody on the second row 329 00:15:26.000 --> 00:15:27.639 piss him off, like the guy who got him ejected 330 00:15:27.720 --> 00:15:30.639 last night. In OKC, whatever, I don't think it's gonna 331 00:15:30.639 --> 00:15:32.320 be that type of a night from Luca. I think 332 00:15:32.360 --> 00:15:34.159 he'll he'll be emotional. I think he'll be great, But 333 00:15:34.200 --> 00:15:36.240 I don't think he's gonna have a huge numerical night. 334 00:15:36.360 --> 00:15:38.279 I think I think you're right. I'd be shocked if 335 00:15:38.279 --> 00:15:40.639 he put up big numbers tonight for a lot of reasons. 336 00:15:40.679 --> 00:15:42.799 And I think part of it is I didn't see 337 00:15:42.840 --> 00:15:46.440 the game last night, but man, getting kicked out of 338 00:15:46.519 --> 00:15:50.360 the game with the circumstances that are going on to 339 00:15:50.480 --> 00:15:53.080 me as an indication that his head might not be 340 00:15:53.159 --> 00:15:57.519 where it needs to be. Yeah, and again, this show, 341 00:15:57.559 --> 00:15:59.279 if you've listened to the show, you know it's a 342 00:15:59.440 --> 00:16:04.159 very pro Lucas show. But part of the criticism of 343 00:16:04.360 --> 00:16:08.039 Luca was when are you going too mature? I'm talking 344 00:16:08.080 --> 00:16:09.080 about internal critics. 345 00:16:09.080 --> 00:16:11.039 I means, anyone who's ever done a talk shows segment 346 00:16:11.120 --> 00:16:13.720 bitching about Luca, bitching at the refs, you probably just 347 00:16:13.759 --> 00:16:14.679 want to take it back now. 348 00:16:14.759 --> 00:16:18.039 Yeah, get in line, O. Hey, it could be way worse, right, 349 00:16:18.159 --> 00:16:18.840 he could be gone. 350 00:16:20.559 --> 00:16:23.399 So but anyways, I think that that's a really telling 351 00:16:23.559 --> 00:16:26.600 sign that he was in the mind state to get 352 00:16:26.720 --> 00:16:28.000 kicked out of a game last night. 353 00:16:28.399 --> 00:16:30.919 You saw the second one. I'm sorry, no, no where 354 00:16:30.919 --> 00:16:31.480 you said. 355 00:16:31.240 --> 00:16:33.519 He might have twenty assists tonight, right if they forced 356 00:16:33.519 --> 00:16:34.679 the ball out of his saying, I could see that. 357 00:16:35.120 --> 00:16:36.639 But he was when he got ejected. 358 00:16:36.720 --> 00:16:38.919 He was yelling at that fan, the tattoo artists he 359 00:16:38.960 --> 00:16:41.679 got into it with last year at Oka See, and 360 00:16:41.759 --> 00:16:43.240 the ref thought he was talking to him. He was 361 00:16:43.279 --> 00:16:45.840 talking to the fane, and the ref ejected. Did you 362 00:16:45.840 --> 00:16:47.360 see all the Lakers going no, no, he's talking to 363 00:16:47.440 --> 00:16:50.679 that guy, talking to you, he's talking to that fan. 364 00:16:51.159 --> 00:16:54.759 The OKAC coach is like, there's a line and if 365 00:16:54.799 --> 00:16:58.320 a player crosses the line, he should be ejected. I 366 00:16:58.399 --> 00:16:59.919 thought the refs did a great job, and I was like, 367 00:17:00.200 --> 00:17:01.279 stop kissing ass. 368 00:17:01.559 --> 00:17:04.200 That's it in the Oklahoma City community, though, you should 369 00:17:04.279 --> 00:17:04.920 kiss ass like that. 370 00:17:05.079 --> 00:17:06.160 Nest questions super. 371 00:17:06.400 --> 00:17:10.160 I mean, as far as I know, they're the only 372 00:17:10.880 --> 00:17:14.599 sports franchise that begins the game with a prayer. I've 373 00:17:14.640 --> 00:17:18.279 never seen that anywhere else that that's not indicative of 374 00:17:18.319 --> 00:17:21.119 what the community is. I don't know what else is, right, Okay, 375 00:17:21.160 --> 00:17:22.400 we're all going about, Oh we're okay. 376 00:17:22.519 --> 00:17:24.200 I don't know. I'll bow my heads. I don't need 377 00:17:24.880 --> 00:17:26.279 it always does out the opening tip. 378 00:17:28.880 --> 00:17:33.000 Okay, So what is the deal where it seems when 379 00:17:33.599 --> 00:17:35.519 there's a lot of stress and a lot of things 380 00:17:35.559 --> 00:17:38.119 that are just you're up against where things start cratering 381 00:17:38.559 --> 00:17:44.240 and everything starts creating. Well, no, So I got here 382 00:17:44.359 --> 00:17:47.039 today and I'm in a hurry, and I'm already stressed out, 383 00:17:47.119 --> 00:17:49.799 and there's someone parked in my spot again, which there's 384 00:17:50.119 --> 00:17:53.240 rarely people parked in my spot because there's really people 385 00:17:53.359 --> 00:17:56.359 parked here really, to be honest. So I'm like, all right, 386 00:17:56.640 --> 00:17:58.960 I can't deal with this. There's you know, normally i'd 387 00:17:58.960 --> 00:18:00.400 want to deal with that just too much. There's too 388 00:18:00.440 --> 00:18:02.279 much going on. It's a busy day, there's a lot 389 00:18:02.559 --> 00:18:02.920 going on. 390 00:18:03.440 --> 00:18:03.960 It's a lot. 391 00:18:04.839 --> 00:18:07.599 And then the second that I get up here, my 392 00:18:07.720 --> 00:18:10.279 food order is completely wrong. It's not even remotely close 393 00:18:10.319 --> 00:18:12.240 to anything that I ordered. You were having a Michael 394 00:18:12.279 --> 00:18:13.559 Douglas falling down moment. 395 00:18:13.720 --> 00:18:14.039 I was. 396 00:18:14.519 --> 00:18:18.160 But I'm like, it is weird that multiple things like 397 00:18:18.240 --> 00:18:20.319 that will all happen at once or do you just 398 00:18:20.440 --> 00:18:22.680 notice they have it all the time, You're just noticing them. 399 00:18:23.440 --> 00:18:25.160 Yeah, I guess could be. That's true. 400 00:18:25.839 --> 00:18:28.400 They do piles up at times, your sandwich place always 401 00:18:28.440 --> 00:18:31.599
