Speaker 1: Welcome back to Eve's Sports Radio, Tuesday, May the thirteenth,
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five. This is Eve Sports Radio. I am
Speaker 1: the brand. My phone number is five zero two five
Speaker 1: seventy nine hundred. That's five zero two, five seven one
Speaker 1: seventy nine hundred, Sports Talk seven ninety KRD. We've got
Speaker 1: Shannon behind the glass. We've got a nice day outside,
Speaker 1: not as much rain falling, so we're going to get
Speaker 1: some more today, but not this morning, So have a
Speaker 1: safe trip in and enjoy the show. So here's first
Speaker 1: and foremost, let's introduce Anthony. Anthony, welcome to the show.
Speaker 1: How are you now?
Speaker 2: I'm doing the novel this morning?
Speaker 1: How are you? And now? I told you when you're
Speaker 1: sixty six, I'm good. I'm being heard, not viewed. It's
Speaker 1: a good thing telling you toiletitia road goes fast when
Speaker 1: you get old. You just don't understand it. You'll see
Speaker 1: you creep through your twenties, Anthony. You walk through your thirties,
Speaker 1: you job through your forties, you speed jock through your fifties.
Speaker 1: When you hit your sixties and seventies, you're sprinting to
Speaker 1: the end. That's not a good thing, but that's the
Speaker 1: way it goes, Anthony. That's the way life is. That
Speaker 1: is the way it is. So anyway, I'm on that
Speaker 1: fast track. I'm trying to slow down Anthony, but it
Speaker 1: just doesn't happen. So enjoy every day is all I
Speaker 1: can tell people. It is a good deal. Now, Anthony,
Speaker 1: here's the deal. We couldn't get it on yesterday. I
Speaker 1: didn't know how to send it properly, so I had
Speaker 1: my minister, my boss was Gwyn Blackburn, hook it up
Speaker 1: and send it to Shannon. I want everybody to let
Speaker 1: me set the stage. Saturday, my oldest son gets married.
Speaker 1: Happy day, great day, I'm telling you, it was a
Speaker 1: beautiful day. And he happens to look at his younger
Speaker 1: brother and say, hey, I need somebody to do the toast.
Speaker 1: I'm glad he didn't ask me. He asked Anthony five
Speaker 1: minutes before, Hey you want to do the toast? Anthony?
Speaker 1: He's like sure. So I want everyone to see and
Speaker 1: hear what Anthony did. Nothing ready written, no cards, no telephone,
Speaker 1: just live shedding. Everybody listened to the toast that Anthony
Speaker 1: gave to his older brother. It was tremendous.
Speaker 3: When I was only here for about a year, Frank
Speaker 3: was here for a few months, so we had no
Speaker 3: friends outside of you know, Braxton and Adrian. Obviously, Mike
Speaker 3: put his handle back there. But we had went to
Speaker 3: a walk front and I said, when my brother I
Speaker 3: was just walking around, I think it was cool. We've
Speaker 3: never been in this before. We didn't have in North Carolina.
Speaker 1: And we were.
Speaker 3: Walking around and we were standing there and Frank tasks me.
Speaker 1: He was like this girl, mind he is so beautiful.
Speaker 1: And I was on me. I'm like, whoa. He was like,
Speaker 1: shut up, I'm too. I don't know. So I said,
Speaker 1: what's the cool day? I say something to us soil
Speaker 1: once in the lightetime opportunity, you may never see her again.
Speaker 3: He's like, no, no, no, And I was like, what
Speaker 3: the hell was that.
Speaker 1: I tried to push him into it.
Speaker 3: I didn't even do my pushups, pushed him and he
Speaker 3: didn't move by the inch I said.
Speaker 1: I said, okay, I'm on the week.
Speaker 3: Who I mean, I have a little skin so for
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't ut'm muscle. But anyways, he standing in his ground.
Speaker 3: I said, I wish I was strong.
Speaker 1: I might have hooked him up with something greatness.
Speaker 2: Anyway, as we went out through the entire night. As
Speaker 2: we're walking back to the car, We're walking down the.
Speaker 3: River front and he looked back and Macy was behind us.
Speaker 3: I said, oh, look at God. I said, first time
Speaker 3: didn't work. Second time this is timely the money.
Speaker 1: I was like, well, brother, this is the time to shine.
Speaker 3: So they start kicking it off talking you know me.
Speaker 1: I was kind of leisurely walking in the back.
Speaker 2: They end up kicking it off.
Speaker 3: He got his number, hung out. The next day we
Speaker 3: actually all went on a movie day.
Speaker 1: Fun fact.
Speaker 3: On the movie day, our car broke down on the
Speaker 3: corner a lot.
Speaker 1: We had a call Macy back.
Speaker 3: The team goes home, back.
Speaker 2: And off there the car start.
Speaker 3: I just gotta be the most embarrassing his first game.
Speaker 1: And then I was like, whoa.
Speaker 3: She came back and picked us up. I was like,
Speaker 3: hopefully that's not a bad sign.
Speaker 1: It might be the last.
Speaker 3: And all I can say from that is that the
Speaker 3: rest want to welcome you to the family, blessed to
Speaker 3: have you, and then everyone else will come in and
Speaker 3: I want to get them a toast everyone who raised
Speaker 3: the Drakes for I won't get a toast to the
Speaker 3: love of the stars and myself.
Speaker 1: Anthony, what a wonderful job. I was dying. I mean
Speaker 1: I was laughing, especially when the car broke down and
Speaker 1: they explained to people how the car broke down. What
Speaker 1: y'all did two hours before that? The rain your battery down?
Speaker 1: What happened?
Speaker 2: We might have been listening to music a little too
Speaker 2: loud in the back seat, but you know, Frank had
Speaker 2: those aftermarket subs in there, so we were sitting there.
Speaker 2: He didn't have a car on. We just had it
Speaker 2: in like the auxiliary mode, so only like the battery
Speaker 2: was running, and we had it on like full blast,
Speaker 2: and that drained the battery. It was like an the
Speaker 2: two thousand and four Honda Courts, so that the car
Speaker 2: was already kind of old as it was, and you know,
Speaker 2: we didn't really think that all the way through. So
Speaker 2: we're sitting there trying to show off in the car,
Speaker 2: playing music, and it's time to go home. We couldn't
Speaker 2: start the car. We were like, we're like, we're like
Speaker 2: when we killed the battery. I was like, and they
Speaker 2: and Macy and her friend had just left. I was like, well,
Speaker 2: it's like midnight. I was like possing them in front
Speaker 2: of receleeve he's gonna be pissed if we call him.
Speaker 2: I was like, man, we might have all Macy coming back.
Speaker 2: So we end up calling back, and they came back
Speaker 2: and got us, and I think the next day we
Speaker 2: ended up just getting it taken over because we were
Speaker 2: right around the corner from the from the Audi dealership.
Speaker 2: We were at like the AMC movie theater in Saint Matthew's.
Speaker 2: So I think we had one of the cansters come
Speaker 2: over and just swap out a new battery for us
Speaker 2: the next day and the car was fine.
Speaker 1: Mm hmmm, yeah, great job, Anthony. Great day though for
Speaker 1: these family Saturday. Welcome Macy to the family. So anyway, now, Anthony, look,
Speaker 1: let me just tell you all each sports radio, I
Speaker 1: usually keep it straight. Most of the time. I try
Speaker 1: to keep it straight. So we've had all kinds of controversy,
Speaker 1: and we've gone through different things. I've talked about your door.
Speaker 1: I knew that some of his antics with hurt him.
Speaker 1: I said that before the draft. I didn't think it
Speaker 1: would go to the fifth round, but I knew because
Speaker 1: I just know that certain things were going to affect
Speaker 1: and bother ownership groups. I got you, but I just
Speaker 1: want to read you all something because I want you
Speaker 1: all to understand, because you've got a lot of people
Speaker 1: that will live on that cliff, that everything's fair and equal.
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying that you can't get it done,
Speaker 1: but everything's not fair and equal. I'm going to give
Speaker 1: you another example. I want you to listen to me close.
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick six times super Bowl champions, six times, my book,
Speaker 1: one of the greatest, if not the greatest NFL coach ever.
Speaker 1: Got me. Ever, I still like John Wooden's teams. I
Speaker 1: still like the Boston Celtics, what they accomplished. I like
Speaker 1: those guys. But still, he's one of the goats of
Speaker 1: the business. And he accepts a college job, not a
Speaker 1: pro job, not with adults. Men that even if they're
Speaker 1: not adults, I consider them adults, and you treat them
Speaker 1: like adults. I did this for seven years. So what
Speaker 1: does that mean? That means Anthony Mason gets out of
Speaker 1: jail in New York we're playing the Knicks when we're
Speaker 1: with Charlotte. He comes straight from jail to the game,
Speaker 1: jumps over the chairs, puts his shoes on Paul's Alice,
Speaker 1: puts him in the game, looks directly at me and says,
Speaker 1: how long do you think I'm gonna play him? I'm
Speaker 1: sitting there going bright eyed, bushy tailed. I don't know
Speaker 1: but a minute. Then you're gonna pull him, he said,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna play him the whole day and game. I
Speaker 1: hope I can kill him out there, and played him
Speaker 1: every minute of the forty eight minute game. I think
Speaker 1: he played forty six. But that's professional not college. We
Speaker 1: heard about all the hype that comes along with Shador Sanders,
Speaker 1: Deon Sanders, all the hype, all the madness. You got me.
Speaker 1: We have got North Carolina University that has a twenty
Speaker 1: four year old young lady running around with go go
Speaker 1: boots on the football field with young men impressionable seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty,
Speaker 1: twenty one, twenty two, I'm gonna be legitimate twenty three,
Speaker 1: twenty four, twenty five, twenty six. Yeah, they're oldest can
Speaker 1: be now, but still they're in college. They're supposed to
Speaker 1: be impressionable. You got me the facto publicist. Let me
Speaker 1: give you her title again, the facto publicist Jordane Hudson
Speaker 1: for the six time Super Bowl coach. I have no
Speaker 1: problem with the publicist and the office, publicist in his office,
Speaker 1: publicist in her office. But we're talking about around young men.
Speaker 1: It's a zoo. You all know it's a zoo. But
Speaker 1: nobody's gonna say anything. Nobody's gonna have the real, real
Speaker 1: guts to call in with the vigor that they did
Speaker 1: on your door and talk about what's happening right now
Speaker 1: with Bill Belichick North Carolina. It is a zoo, a
Speaker 1: complete zoo. I hope he wins a lot of games
Speaker 1: for you all, Oh hope. Nothing equates in there's no guarantees.
Speaker 1: Got me, Nick Saban did go to the NFL. There
Speaker 1: are no guarantees he didn't win there. It doesn't mean
Speaker 1: that Bill Belichick's gonna win in college. It doesn't mean
Speaker 1: that it doesn't equate that way. It doesn't. But it's
Speaker 1: a complete, total zoo around seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty twenty one,
Speaker 1: twenty two year old men. You have people doing interviews
Speaker 1: and you have her interview interrupting CBS Morning Interviews, Coach Belichek.
Speaker 1: She's the publicist. Guys, he's plus seventies, she's twenty four
Speaker 1: years old. But nobody's gonna say this is a clown show.
Speaker 1: It is, without a doubt a clown show. Nobody's gonna
Speaker 1: stand up, They're gonna speak and start to ask North
Speaker 1: Carolina where they hired him and paid him ten million.
Speaker 1: I have no problem. He's accomplished, he has earned all
Speaker 1: ten he has a very good coach. Don't anybody say
Speaker 1: about athletes getting paid though, Please don't talk to me
Speaker 1: about that. Don't talk to me about the athletes getting paid.
Speaker 1: The last guy's on the totem pole to draw a
Speaker 1: dollar gets more irony than you know, ten million, thirteen
Speaker 1: million dollar coaches. That's okay though, that's all right. I'm
Speaker 1: fine with that. I told you I did make three
Speaker 1: hundred plus thousand dollars a year coaching in the NBA.
Speaker 1: My picture should be in every post office in America.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna be a hypocrite. I told you all,
Speaker 1: I've stole more money into law a louse. But at
Speaker 1: the same time, you've never hurt me say athletes should
Speaker 1: not be paid. And for everyone that ran around saying that, hey, hey,
Speaker 1: hey Dion did it to Shador, well, why didn't it
Speaker 1: happen to Bill Belichick? This is a real zoo. This
Speaker 1: is not what university should represent. My opinion. We all
Speaker 1: have opinions just like we have You know what, we
Speaker 1: all have one. Since I have a radio show, mine
Speaker 1: counts I get to say it publicly. But I'm just
Speaker 1: putting it out there for you all. I'm putting it
Speaker 1: out for my listeners to evaluate. Put your door Sanders
Speaker 1: in one hand and evaluate all the things. The young
Speaker 1: man interviewed bad. The young man I was arrogant. The
Speaker 1: young man had a three plus GPA. Young man went
Speaker 1: to every class. Young man sat in front of every class,
Speaker 1: So did every Colorado player. Yes, that's fact. That's fact.
Speaker 1: Hear that best gbat I ever had football team. You
Speaker 1: don't want to hear that. We just want to hear
Speaker 1: the negative things. Young kid wore too much gold chain,
Speaker 1: has too much blame. Who didn't When you have too
Speaker 1: much money too early? Yes, it happens, period point blank.
Speaker 1: Most of us have never been in that situation, so
Speaker 1: we don't know how we would act. But we're so
Speaker 1: quick to judge. But now I got a seventy year
Speaker 1: old man that I know that wouldn't speak to the
Speaker 1: media in the NFL. You got me, wouldn't give you
Speaker 1: the time of day, got me, no problem, he is
Speaker 1: a goat, six time super Bowl champ, he was a winner.
Speaker 1: Everybody knows that I'm not a Brady fan. He is
Speaker 1: the goat. I'm just not a Brady fan because he's
Speaker 1: the best. Now, because I have anything against you, he is.
Speaker 1: Tom Brady is the goat. He is the best six
Speaker 1: round pick. He is the best quarterback to ever play
Speaker 1: the game, period, point blank. But I'm saying I don't
Speaker 1: like him. I'm just playing around. I say to my friends,
Speaker 1: I don't like he is, without a doubt, undisputably the best.
Speaker 1: But this situation right here at North Carolina University is
Speaker 1: a clown show, a true clown show. So what happens
Speaker 1: when the player brings his girlfriend in the locker room
Speaker 1: on the football field? What can't do it? Huh? What
Speaker 1: we got standards? Now we're gonna hear about it. He's
Speaker 1: too boisterous. What are we gonna hear? What are they
Speaker 1: gonna say? And what is the media and a lot
Speaker 1: of the people's social media, which we know is a
Speaker 1: true clown show, when they jump on it. Oh, it's
Speaker 1: just can't believe he's gotta be humble. Come on, So, guys,
Speaker 1: I just wanted to again express my opinion. I'm sure
Speaker 1: social media people will reach out. You know they do that.
Speaker 1: The phone number here in this show is five oh
Speaker 1: two five nine. That's the great thing. You don't have
Speaker 1: to agree with, Jerry Eve. You will never be disrespected
Speaker 1: on my show. If you don't save four letter words
Speaker 1: and inappropriate calling people out of their names, people will
Speaker 1: hear your opinion. So this is mine. I want to
Speaker 1: hear another word about your Doris Sanders, not one word,
Speaker 1: if you won't speak out on this zoo, this clown show,
Speaker 1: this university that pays ten million dollars who just put
Speaker 1: out I try to stay away from it. Once, y'all
Speaker 1: understand I try to stay away from it. Don't think
Speaker 1: that I didn't know. It's been out forever, guys, It's
Speaker 1: been out forever. But if you go to your ESPN
Speaker 1: on your computer, you click on college NCAA football, Got
Speaker 1: me NCAA football, and you start to scroll, you'll find
Speaker 1: out to where North Carolina says Belichick's girlfriend, welcome at school.
Speaker 1: That's today. I wrote this to myself last week. I
Speaker 1: didn't touch it. I thought I tried to stay away
Speaker 1: from it. Sometimes I'm like, nah, don't tell them the
Speaker 1: truth and don't show them the truth. I said, I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna touch it. So when it broke last week
Speaker 1: and really ten days ago, I didn't touch it. So
Speaker 1: don't jump up and down and said jerrys was waiting.
Speaker 1: But when I picked and turned my computer on this
Speaker 1: morning and read you NC says Bill Belichick's girl still
Speaker 1: welcome at school, and started to read to you all
Speaker 1: this defacto publicist. Come on. But North Carolina made it
Speaker 1: clear her role as Belichick's the facto publicist has not
Speaker 1: been impacted for her access to the football program. Get
Speaker 1: out of here, guys, give me a break, Get out
Speaker 1: of here. Well, I was talking about earning things, being
Speaker 1: qualified for things at twenty four years old. Get out
Speaker 1: of here. A clown show, that's all. I just wanted
Speaker 1: to let you all know that this goes on all
Speaker 1: the time, but people really don't want to step to
Speaker 1: the forefront and just say why. I don't know, I
Speaker 1: have no idea, but I know that Bill Belichick of old,
Speaker 1: if a player brought this kind of termoil to his program,
Speaker 1: he would have dealt with it. That's a fact. So guys,
Speaker 1: we're gonna get to break at seven, twenty one when
Speaker 1: we come back. Like I told you all again, five
Speaker 1: zero two, five seven, one seventy nine hundred. If you disagree,
Speaker 1: let me know, no problem. But I just want you
Speaker 1: to state your case and tell everybody why Shannon take
Speaker 1: us away. We'll be back in a minute.
Speaker 4: Welcome back to the sports radio seven twenty five. When
Speaker 4: numbers five year O two five seven one nine hundred, Anthony,
Speaker 4: I'm gonna throw it to you. NBA's in full swing. Well,
Speaker 4: we've got interesting games, first round games. I enjoy second
Speaker 4: round games that frustrated me. I'm I mean, I like
Speaker 4: watching them. They're good games, but they have frustrated me.
Speaker 4: The coaching has really frustrated me.
Speaker 1: So let's bring everybody up to date with what happened
Speaker 1: last night. I know people did not. I could not.
Speaker 1: I expired before the end of the Golden State game. Guys,
Speaker 1: I just can't stay up dead late. Yes, I expired.
Speaker 1: My time ran out. I was Cinderella, the slippers fell off,
Speaker 1: and I went to bed. So anyway, Anthony, what happened
Speaker 1: last night?
Speaker 2: Yeah, obviously that late night game, though Timbwolves did take
Speaker 2: care of the Warriors one seventeen to one without Steph
Speaker 2: Curry just not looking like a probable chance that they'll
Speaker 2: win that series. Obviously, I have no ninety five percent
Speaker 2: chance that Timberwolves will be going on to the Western
Speaker 2: Conference Finals. But on the Eastern side, I want you
Speaker 2: to put in your two about the Celtics, because I
Speaker 2: know you love talking about the Celtics. Last night, I
Speaker 2: think I heard it for about two and a half
Speaker 2: hours straight. They did lose that fight thirteen. But the
Speaker 2: player style, I think is what irks you the most.
Speaker 1: It drove me crazy. Joe Mozillo Missoulo, he has won
Speaker 1: a world championship. The Celtics have that team has. Tatum
Speaker 1: is a great player. Brown was the MVP. I was
Speaker 1: talking to a friend of mine yesterday. Brown was the
Speaker 1: MVP last year. But Tatum is a great player. And Guys,
Speaker 1: I've done this business my whole life. I've seen that.
Speaker 1: I would say ninety nine percent chance. He probably popped
Speaker 1: his achilles. He is Jason Tatum, as we know. I'm
Speaker 1: hoping not. But when you have those none contact go
Speaker 1: down like that with that kind of pain, usually usually
Speaker 1: it's an achilles injury. So they're so super good with
Speaker 1: these things now that used to end Nate Archieball. He
Speaker 1: ended his career with that, but they're so good with
Speaker 1: it now. He will bounce back to a strength. Kevin Durant.
Speaker 1: It's happened to numerous players. Kobe Bryant. I think he'll
Speaker 1: bounce back, but I think, in my opinion, we don't
Speaker 1: know until MRI is done today what's happened. But I
Speaker 1: would say he probably popped his achilles or tour his
Speaker 1: achilles partially. So we'll have to wait and see on that.
Speaker 1: But guys, fans would like to watch basketball. And if
Speaker 1: everyone remembers, everyone gave coach Crumb a hard time on
Speaker 1: he didn't want to shoot the three pointer right away.
Speaker 1: Even though people will never give coach Crumb the credit
Speaker 1: for little Dewan Wheat, who I hired to be my
Speaker 1: men's basketball coach, he was the three point shooting this
Speaker 1: player you've ever seen from Ballot High School. People don't
Speaker 1: want to give Coach Crumb credit for that. He's a
Speaker 1: second leading scorer in Louisville history because Coach Crumb did
Speaker 1: adopt they're a proper person at their proper time shooting
Speaker 1: three pointers, not just we're all going to shoot them.
Speaker 1: So they are world champions. The Celtics did. They have
Speaker 1: accomplished that, so did Joe Miszoo. But last night's game,
Speaker 1: I told Anthony from the first quarter, when Jason Tatum
Speaker 1: was hitting the threes and putting all the fingers up
Speaker 1: and all turning around walking back on defense, I said,
Speaker 1: they will get caught at the end. And I told Anthony,
Speaker 1: I just want you to watch this. I want you
Speaker 1: to educate yourself. The Knicks play offensively below the free
Speaker 1: throw line. They scored eighty percent of their baskets below
Speaker 1: the free throw line, and the corner three is the
Speaker 1: shortest three pointer in the game. They play below the
Speaker 1: free throw line. The Boss Celtics have three people standing
Speaker 1: above the three point line always even with seven foot
Speaker 1: Porzingas seven foot four Perzingas, and dribble around to the
Speaker 1: shot clocks almost expired and throw up a three. They're
Speaker 1: so talented that they were able to win on last year,
Speaker 1: not this year. I told Anthony from words say go,
Speaker 1: which I'm going to bring it back on after this,
Speaker 1: I said, they will be called Boston's up fourteen. I said, Anthony,
Speaker 1: as long as the next stay and striking distance, those
Speaker 1: shots will kill them. Well, next thing you know, third
Speaker 1: quarter Celtic except still twelve thirteen, Get your flagrant foul call,
Speaker 1: get some free throws, cut the lead single digits. Next thing,
Speaker 1: you know that nine offense, nine running fast breaks, not
Speaker 1: even attempting to run a fast break. I showed Anthony
Speaker 1: the Boston Celtics young athletic players. They got a defensive rebound,
Speaker 1: Anthony a step in. They walked them all up the floor.
Speaker 1: Three guys walked, I mean legitimately walked. They didn't even
Speaker 1: think about running in an early offense, getting their offense
Speaker 1: started early so they'd have more time to make the
Speaker 1: defense move. They all walked. I said, this is a joke.
Speaker 1: This is worse then tired sandlot basketball. That's what I
Speaker 1: watched yesterday. I couldn't stand it. I couldn't believe it.
Speaker 1: So Joe's a champion. He's not gonna get fired this year.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you all now, they start bad next year,
Speaker 1: he's gone in twenty games. And if he doesn't coach
Speaker 1: them offensively, he should be gone in twenty games. Because
Speaker 1: it was embarrassing, I mean completely from a coach's perspective.
Speaker 1: I couldn't stand watching them. So, guys, it's a tight game.
Speaker 1: It's in the fourth quarter, about six minutes to go.
Speaker 1: Celtics are up one or two. There's a turnover. Horford,
Speaker 1: who is six eleven seven foot played at Florida. Really
Speaker 1: good player. He's too old nine and he needs to retire,
Speaker 1: but he's a good player. He's a great guy. Instead
Speaker 1: of running down the middle of the floor to the
Speaker 1: front of the rim to shoot a layup, he took
Speaker 1: an angle out of the lane to when they threw
Speaker 1: him the ball, he's probably thirteen or eight feet away
Speaker 1: from the basket. As soon as he caught it, he
Speaker 1: threw it to a guy standing on the three point
Speaker 1: line who shot at three and missed it. Listen to me, guys,
Speaker 1: he had no intention of shooting the layup. He's seven
Speaker 1: feet tall. It was a five on four. Let me
Speaker 1: explain to you now. One of the knicks had fallen down.
Speaker 1: It's a five on four. He was the center. He
Speaker 1: had no intentions of shooting in the layup. No one
Speaker 1: was guardening. It's bad coaching, guys. The game right now
Speaker 1: in the NBA, the state of the coaching because the
Speaker 1: players don't want to be coached and the ownership groups
Speaker 1: are not allowing them. To be coached is a very
Speaker 1: difficult game. The Paul Silas, the Butcher Bears, that John
Speaker 1: Lucas is the guys that I worked for. But I
Speaker 1: had hard time coaching today, especially Paul Silas. It wouldn't
Speaker 1: have happened. I'm just gonna be honest with you all.
Speaker 1: It would not have happened. He didn't care who they were.
Speaker 1: We had Derek Coleman, Anthony Mason, guys. We had the
Speaker 1: toughest of the tough. These guys are softies. Bottom line
Speaker 1: is they play a bad style of ball, and I
Speaker 1: knew the Knicks would get them because the Knicks played
Speaker 1: physical basketball. They played below to free throw line, and defensively,
Speaker 1: they want to keep you on the perimeter. Allah, pat Riley,
Speaker 1: I'm telling you the old next team with Allan Houston.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you all the same. I've got to
Speaker 1: say this to you correctly though. Before we go to break,
Speaker 1: Anthony pat Riley used to tell them, first on, we're
Speaker 1: gonna own the paint, the lane, the painted area. They
Speaker 1: don't score in here, they get hit in this area.
Speaker 1: Then we're gonna get better and we're gonna inch it
Speaker 1: out to two feet outside the paint. And three feet
Speaker 1: outside of the paint and four feet outside the paint
Speaker 1: where people are gonna beat us from the perimeter. And
Speaker 1: if they beat us from the perimeter, then they earned it.
Speaker 1: We shake their hands, we go in. But if they
Speaker 1: come into our house, they're gonna get hit. Charles Oakley,
Speaker 1: Anthony Mason, patri Ewing, You're gonna be felt, period point blank.
Speaker 1: And that's nick basketball of today. They're playing it that way,
Speaker 1: and Boston wants no part of the physical contact, period
Speaker 1: point blank. So Joe missoulu, you are a world champion
Speaker 1: next year, you'll lose your job in twenty games if
Speaker 1: your team doesn't play better, period point blank. Any finish
Speaker 1: up the NBA before we go to our second break,
Speaker 1: finish up, and truly without Curry. I hated that when
Speaker 1: he pulled that hamstring, he's not coming back. You cannot
Speaker 1: rush hamstrings. I told you all that that day. The
Speaker 1: following morning, it's over. He's gonna have to rest that
Speaker 1: thing for a month or two. Because he's old and
Speaker 1: he really plays and he runs, that's his game. He's
Speaker 1: gonna have to rest that for quite a long time.
Speaker 1: So that series is over. So here's the question. An
Speaker 1: ok se bad young men, Shae Gilders, Alexander. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's just a very good team. Defensively, they play well
Speaker 1: and I, in my opinion, the Minnesota Timberwolves. Who wins
Speaker 1: that series. Who wins it?
Speaker 2: It gets the next round? The West Thunder get the Nuggets.
Speaker 1: Yes, I think the Thunder get the Nuggets. It's two
Speaker 1: to two guys now, I told people, don't roll over
Speaker 1: on the Nuggets. They're gonna make it a rock fight.
Speaker 1: I mean, Joka is good. Murray is. He's hit or
Speaker 1: miss now since the Olympics. He did not play well
Speaker 1: in the Olympics for the Canadian team, and he has
Speaker 1: just hit or missing. He might give you forty and
Speaker 1: he might give you twelve. But if Murray is clicking,
Speaker 1: then the Nuggets can pull it upset. If he's not,
Speaker 1: the Thunder get him. But I still like the Thunder
Speaker 1: and the Wolves. If those are the two teams, who
Speaker 1: would you go with?
Speaker 2: I probably still say the Thunder. I think they have
Speaker 2: a little bit more diversity when it comes from scoring,
Speaker 2: offensive threats and size.
Speaker 1: I do too. I like the Thunder guys. I thought
Speaker 1: it would be the Calves and the Thunder. I said
Speaker 1: that before the season started, I mean before the playoffs started.
Speaker 1: The Calves, Donovan Mitchell, the Thunder, Jay Gillicks, Alexander that's
Speaker 1: what I expect. I'm disappointed with the Calves, guys, I
Speaker 1: just am. I asked George yesterday. George always tell you
Speaker 1: George loves to just try to take care of the players.
Speaker 1: That's his job. Guys, don't get mad at him. But
Speaker 1: I complete this agree. Donophan's got to do and help
Speaker 1: will his team to another series that they don't deserve
Speaker 1: to get. That's when you put him in that category
Speaker 1: with the greats of greats. He's a superstar. He's an
Speaker 1: NBA All Star. He's a top twenty five player. Know
Speaker 1: if ends our butts about it got me, but I thought,
Speaker 1: and I still think, now he's got the ability to
Speaker 1: go further. He has to be mentally pushed to that
Speaker 1: next level, period, point blank. So we have to wait
Speaker 1: and see on that. Because they're done, you know, I
Speaker 1: mean three to one, they're done. Indiana's going to take
Speaker 1: care of business and beat them. And it really surprised
Speaker 1: me because I thought it would be okay, see up
Speaker 1: and coming and Cleveland young team up and coming. But
Speaker 1: I don't see that happening an so anyway, anything else
Speaker 1: you have Anthony, anybody else and that you' like, what
Speaker 1: about Julius Randall? Thirty one points Anthony. Everybody thought that
Speaker 1: was an awful trade for me in the Minnesota. It's
Speaker 1: turning out for both teams. Your boy Towns with the
Speaker 1: Knicks are still play it and Randall and Minnesota State
Speaker 1: it's turning out to be a pretty good trade. What
Speaker 1: do you think? No, it is?
Speaker 2: I mean I thought the same. Being a first two,
Speaker 2: I thought that the trade might have been maybe a
Speaker 2: little bit of an underthrow trade. And the only reason
Speaker 2: why I said that is I was like, they're trading
Speaker 2: for a guy who's not the same, not more expensive
Speaker 2: yue than Karl Anthony Towns. They're in the same boat.
Speaker 2: Their skill sets are similar, except Coronthony Towns is three
Speaker 2: to four inch is taller than Julius Randall. That's the
Speaker 2: only reason why I wasn't so sure about the trade
Speaker 2: at first. I was like, Eh, would I rather have
Speaker 2: a seven footer who's probably one of the best shooters
Speaker 2: in the league, great postperson, I actually rebounder. They're in
Speaker 2: the same boat. Randall doesn't shoot it as well. He's
Speaker 2: been shooting better this season though over the last two years,
Speaker 2: so I won't give him credit around mask. But I
Speaker 2: do like Randall's physicality and his aggressiveness. I think that's
Speaker 2: the big difference making between the Timberwolves making and having
Speaker 2: a chance to making a little bit farther than the Knicks.
Speaker 2: To you, Carl Anthony tans, he goes through stretches return
Speaker 2: into a really soft basketball player, and he likes to
Speaker 2: play on the perimeter a lot too jumpers. He wants
Speaker 2: to post up fada ways on undersized guards. Randall doesn't
Speaker 2: ever do that. He does it sometimes, but his tendencies
Speaker 2: aren't as high as Karl Anthony Towns was.
Speaker 1: Absolutely yeah, I mean, I think Towns is a much
Speaker 1: better player. But you got to give rand to his due.
Speaker 1: You ever give him his due now because everybody thought,
Speaker 1: oh Minnesota's gonna drop. No one expected him to be there,
Speaker 1: and honestly, he and and man they had thirty both
Speaker 1: had thirty a piece. He had thirty one and had thirty.
Speaker 1: You've got to give round to his due. A lot
Speaker 1: of people have knocked Julius Randall, but we see what's
Speaker 1: going on. Guys and he's taking his team to another round. Guy's, NBA,
Speaker 1: just like the NFL, is the best league. We gotta
Speaker 1: get to break out. Now, I'll talk forever. We're talking
Speaker 1: about this seven thirty eight. Will be back after the break.
Speaker 1: Sorry about that shat. Well, guys, it's seven forty two,
Speaker 1: and if it's an eight o'clock job appearance you're supposed
Speaker 1: to make, Anthony, they should be close. No rushing out there.
Speaker 1: People's loved ones are out there. Take your time. So at,
Speaker 1: let's wrap this NBA up before we jump into some
Speaker 1: horse racing. I did talk to dal this morning early
Speaker 1: about what's going on Junior Ivare's and want to talk
Speaker 1: about that a little bit. But ending the NBA, Nuggets, Nicks,
Speaker 1: my opinion, Timberwolves, OKC. Are those the best four teams
Speaker 1: you think in the NBA, Anthony or were there some
Speaker 1: upsets or did people underachieve?
Speaker 2: I mean I forget the Pacers too, You can't forget
Speaker 2: about them?
Speaker 1: Yes, oh exactly, I'm sorry. Yes, the Pacers, Pacers and
Speaker 1: the Knicks in the East are the two teams I
Speaker 1: think play for that championship, which the Pacers did surprise me.
Speaker 1: And ok, the Wolves are my opinion. I know that
Speaker 1: Okac and the Denver Nuggets are two and two. I
Speaker 1: know that you will. I'm just predicted. I like Okac.
Speaker 1: I thought it would be okay se in Cleveland. You
Speaker 1: like those teams, and you like the Pacers. I don't
Speaker 1: love the Pacers. I think they're playing above their means
Speaker 1: in my opinion, I just don't. I think the Kavs
Speaker 1: underachieved my opinion.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I think they're also quicking at the right time.
Speaker 2: But I mean, I've said it before. Indiana's the one
Speaker 2: team that doesn't have, I say, a real superstar. Yes,
Speaker 2: they have Haliburt News on the Olympic team, but I
Speaker 2: hate to say it, he didn't even play on the
Speaker 2: Olympic team, and he's low key like one of the
Speaker 2: most average all stars we've seen probably in the last
Speaker 2: five years. He's hit a couple of clutch shots. That's
Speaker 2: Who's why I'm saying, I'm not gonna throw himunder the boat.
Speaker 2: But at the same time, if you were to star
Speaker 2: a franchise, you wouldn't pick Tyrese Haliburton. That's all I'm saying.
Speaker 2: But they do have scoring equally distributed across the board,
Speaker 2: which makes them a hard team to guard because you
Speaker 2: can't just keep focus on Brunson or Donovan Mitchell or
Speaker 2: mainly an SGA. For most teams, they have that one
Speaker 2: guy that facilitates the majority of their offense. Tyres Haliburton
Speaker 2: doesn't even run point half the time Andrew Nimhart runs
Speaker 2: point or they give it to So they have other
Speaker 2: people that can initiate their offense, can pass the ball,
Speaker 2: can score it, can hitch to let and they can
Speaker 2: score it. And Turner can stretch the floor. Turner can
Speaker 2: go into the post. Sometimes he's his post game is
Speaker 2: is kind of bad. I'm gonna be completely honest. I
Speaker 2: don't like Turner in the post. I think that's gonna
Speaker 2: be improving.
Speaker 1: And he's a good defender, right. I like topping them
Speaker 1: and he finishes at the rim. I like people attacking
Speaker 1: that basket. He will attack that basket. That's one thing.
Speaker 1: And he's improved his jump shot. Indiana's deceiving, but just
Speaker 1: being honest with people as a former NBA player, and
Speaker 1: when you look at it, all NBA players look at
Speaker 1: it the same way. If you told Jerry's I got
Speaker 1: a guard a man, I don't sleep well that night
Speaker 1: you all understand me, Anthony Edwards, ooh no, he's a load.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't sleep well the night before you said, Jerry's
Speaker 1: you gotta guard Teres Halliburton. I'd sleep like a babe.
Speaker 1: That would not be a problem. I could guard Halliburton.
Speaker 1: But when you say guard ant man, ooh no. If
Speaker 1: you said guard Curry, ooh no, don't sleep good, Anthony.
Speaker 1: So you're correct with Halliburton. He is an All Star.
Speaker 1: He's a very good player. But as a person that's
Speaker 1: playing in the league, if I had to guard him,
Speaker 1: he would not make me sleep poorly the night before.
Speaker 1: There are players out there that would at the Edwards,
Speaker 1: that boy is a load. Shay Gildicks, Alexander, he's a load. Curry,
Speaker 1: he's a load. Honestly. Brunson is my style player. I
Speaker 1: love him. He's physical. He does it more off the
Speaker 1: dribble than I did. I did it more off the
Speaker 1: catch dribble. I would want to post you with a
Speaker 1: live dribble and bang you. But I love Brunson the
Speaker 1: way he plays. But Halliburton just wouldn't. So you've got
Speaker 1: to give the pacers credit across the board. And Carlile
Speaker 1: been a friend of Carliles for forever Coach Beard mentored
Speaker 1: coach Carlile. People didn't know what he did and he's
Speaker 1: a really good guy and a great coach. So congratulations
Speaker 1: to them. And it's forty six. We're gonna get to
Speaker 1: our last break. When we come back, we are going
Speaker 1: to talk about Junior Averrez, about what has happened and
Speaker 1: what Dale Roman told me this morning that he wanted
Speaker 1: me to pass on to our friends. Eves Sports Radio
Speaker 1: phone numbers five zero, two, five seven, one, seventy nine hundred.
Speaker 1: We'll talk to you a little bit about the Preakness
Speaker 1: one hundred and fiftieth running and the post positions and
Speaker 1: what Adale has spoke about with the punishment on Junior Avarez.
Speaker 1: Welcome back to Eves Sports Radio, Anthony forty nine. We've
Speaker 1: got about eight minutes and the show is history for today.
Speaker 1: So let me just let y'all know that horsemen are
Speaker 1: up at four three point thirty in the morning. They
Speaker 1: are So when I got up, I said, well, I
Speaker 1: heard George's interpretation of the whip. I said, I want
Speaker 1: to find out and since I know people, and I
Speaker 1: do know people now, I just sent a little text
Speaker 1: message to del Romans to get him to help me
Speaker 1: understand what was transpiring. I sent, to deal is a'veraz
Speaker 1: being mistreated. What he did was not a big deal.
Speaker 1: I said, Can I use your name and my show
Speaker 1: discussing it this morning? He says, use my name. Next
Speaker 1: thing you know, my phone's ringing. Dale says, I'm busy.
Speaker 1: I would call in, but let me tell you exactly
Speaker 1: what I want people to know. The whip, he says,
Speaker 1: is like the little styrophoam that you put underneath your
Speaker 1: arms at a swimming pool. That's what it is now.
Speaker 1: It's not the old leather that it used to be
Speaker 1: that did steing the horses a little bit. It's not.
Speaker 1: It just makes noise, it cracks, it taps them, but
Speaker 1: it does not do anything to them physically. It's like
Speaker 1: that styrofoam that you put underneath the arms when you
Speaker 1: don't want to swim and you want to just float.
Speaker 1: Is his exact description to me. He says. But the
Speaker 1: rules say you can only use it six times. Junior
Speaker 1: used it nine times. I said, are you against the fines?
Speaker 1: He said, I am not against the fines. The rule
Speaker 1: is the rule. I'm against the suspension. The two day suspension.
Speaker 1: He says, that's the rule. Everyone knows the rule. He
Speaker 1: has no problem with the fine, the sixty one thousand
Speaker 1: at all. I said thirty one ten percent of the
Speaker 1: purse three hundred and ten thousand dollars for winning the derby,
Speaker 1: and since it was the second offense, they doubled it.
Speaker 1: He said he had no problem with that. This is
Speaker 1: from Dale Romans, the winning his horse trainer in Churchill
Speaker 1: Down's history. He had a problem with the two day suspension.
Speaker 1: He said that was again sometimes he thinks Churchill Downs,
Speaker 1: but it wasn't Churchill Downs. So we get that straight again.
Speaker 1: It was not. The integrity group goes a little step
Speaker 1: too far sometimes. But he wanted everyone to know what
Speaker 1: that is that they're using when they're hitting those horses.
Speaker 1: They're not damaging the horses at all, period point Blay.
Speaker 1: So I wanted to make sure we got that out, Anthony.
Speaker 1: Now that we understand what it is that they are
Speaker 1: tapping those horses with and showing it to them, and
Speaker 1: horses are trained. Horses just react to things because they're
Speaker 1: trained that way, but it is not damaging them at all.
Speaker 1: So nine horse Racing, the Preakness, nothing like the Derby guys.
Speaker 1: The Derby has twenty horses. Anything can happen. Dale told
Speaker 1: me his favorite, of course, is journalism. He thinks that
Speaker 1: he will get it done. He does. He says second place,
Speaker 1: he thinks we'll go to Sandman. I said, okay, I
Speaker 1: think third place is going to go to pay Billy.
Speaker 1: If you all don't know who pay Billy is, I
Speaker 1: don't either. He's just in the fifth post position and
Speaker 1: everybody knows the fifth post position gets two dollars across
Speaker 1: the board from Eve Sports Radio. That's my college number,
Speaker 1: he says. Plase your bet and tell your ticket up.
Speaker 1: That's what the hell don't So anyway, I wanted to
Speaker 1: give you all one and two. Go Orient. It is
Speaker 1: in post position one, Journalism is in two, American Promises
Speaker 1: in three, Heart of Honor is in four, Pay Billy
Speaker 1: and five. River Themes is six, Sandman is seven, Clever
Speaker 1: Again is eight, and Goshap is in nine. Those are
Speaker 1: the nine horses and this year's one hundred and fiftieth
Speaker 1: running of the Preakness. So we'll be watching that Saturday
Speaker 1: along with the PGA. Anthony So, PJA, who's your pick? Anthony?
Speaker 1: Is it? Roy McRoy. Is it Justin Thomas who has
Speaker 1: won there before? Who's your pick? Who are you going with?
Speaker 1: And this year's PGA Championship Quail Hollow, Charlotte, North Carolina,
Speaker 1: seventy five hundred and fifty eight yards, it's a big
Speaker 1: boy course, Anthony, Part seventy one. Who's your pick?
Speaker 2: No, that's a tough one. I you know, obviously I
Speaker 2: own a roof for our hometown here, so I want
Speaker 2: to say JT. He's been playing well, he's been hot,
Speaker 2: So that's gonna be my pick for the PGA right now.
Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, he's won this year, great, first time in
Speaker 1: almost three years he's won at quil Hollow, so he
Speaker 1: is comfortable there. Roy mccroy's won there, I think four times,
Speaker 1: So Anthony, Roy's gonna be a hard beat if he's
Speaker 1: driving the ball with any accuracy. Boy, now that he
Speaker 1: has gotten the Triple Crown of golf off his shoulders
Speaker 1: by winning the Masters, that kid could go on a
Speaker 1: real run. He is just that talented. But you know it, Anthony,
Speaker 1: I'm going with Scotti. Now they didn't have to worry
Speaker 1: about getting locked up. Anthony. That happened to you last
Speaker 1: year at Valhalla. I know I'm going with Scott. I
Speaker 1: think Scotty is really good. I think he's way over
Speaker 1: do Anthony. He's playing well, he's won. Also, I think
Speaker 1: he's getting this game back in the form. He hurt himself.
Speaker 1: He hurt his hand. I don't know if he was
Speaker 1: grilling out or something, but he did something. So I'm
Speaker 1: looking forward to Thursday. I'm being honest with you can't
Speaker 1: wait telling everybody we'll probably be running the best of
Speaker 1: on Friday, guys, because all I'm gonna be doing is
Speaker 1: watching the PGA. A lot of people say, how do
Speaker 1: you sit down and watch golf all day? Easy? That's
Speaker 1: all there is. Do it? I mean easy, guys, It's
Speaker 1: I like watching. It's a very difficult game, it really is,
Speaker 1: and it's a lot of fun to play, and you're
Speaker 1: gonna see challenges for these players. The thing that makes
Speaker 1: it different is this. A basketball court is still ninety
Speaker 1: four feet the rims ten feet high. Guys. That's why
Speaker 1: we used to tell great coaches would tell you, if
Speaker 1: you do it and practice properly, you can do it
Speaker 1: anywhere because the environment doesn't change, does not affect you,
Speaker 1: it doesn't touch you. Got me. Golf courses are not
Speaker 1: made that way. Some golf courses are made for certain skills.
Speaker 1: Certain golf courses are made for right to left instead
Speaker 1: of left or right off the drive. There's just a
Speaker 1: lot of things that goes on with golf. So sometimes
Speaker 1: big hitters golf courses aren't made for. It's accrid hitters.
Speaker 1: So we'll have to wait and see. I mean Brian Harmon, guys,
Speaker 1: he stands five to eight and he could be in
Speaker 1: the top three in the last day. And he's not
Speaker 1: a long ball hitter. He's accurate. So there's a lot
Speaker 1: going on in golf. So anyway, great job. Atn't he shouting?
Speaker 1: Great job. We'll be back tomorrow, God willing, and yes,
Speaker 1: a real zoo clown show is North Carolina and Bill
Speaker 1: Belichick right now. In my opinion, East Words Radio, I'm
Speaker 1: out love you all, talk to you tomorrow. Bye bye.
