Now? Here's Nick Coffee? 12 00:00:45.079 --> 00:00:48.520 All right, let's get it started. Ladies and gentlemen, Welcome 13 00:00:48.560 --> 00:00:53.280 in the final week of Coffee and Company, fueled by 14 00:00:53.359 --> 00:00:57.119 Thornton's here on Sports Talk seven ninety. My name's Nick Coffee, 15 00:00:57.119 --> 00:01:03.359 Austin Montgomery alongside they strange here been a while, this 16 00:01:03.479 --> 00:01:05.959 is this guy new here. Yeah, we had we had 17 00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:08.799 a moment in the parking garage where you knew I 18 00:01:08.920 --> 00:01:11.480 was thinking it and you said it, and I couldn't 19 00:01:11.519 --> 00:01:15.239 disagree that because we had the nice holiday weekend off 20 00:01:15.239 --> 00:01:18.000 on Monday, which was great, and then you were out 21 00:01:18.040 --> 00:01:21.840 on Friday. Feels like it's been forever since we since 22 00:01:21.879 --> 00:01:25.159 we were, you know, in this position hopefully creating some 23 00:01:25.239 --> 00:01:26.959 magic today. That's what we try to do every day. 24 00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:29.040 But there's only a few more shows with us left 25 00:01:29.040 --> 00:01:31.480 because Austin's actually going to be out on Friday. So 26 00:01:32.439 --> 00:01:34.959 I'm gonna make the most of what we have and today, 27 00:01:35.879 --> 00:01:37.560 you know, throughout the week, I just want to give 28 00:01:37.560 --> 00:01:41.000 people heads up there. This will still be a show 29 00:01:41.280 --> 00:01:44.680 I do in fact prepare and we'll continue to do that, 30 00:01:44.879 --> 00:01:47.439 but I also want in my mind to just not 31 00:01:47.560 --> 00:01:50.799 really have any any map, if that makes sense, right. 32 00:01:50.799 --> 00:01:53.000 We're gonna end up where we end up in the 33 00:01:53.040 --> 00:01:56.200 three hour experience, and I don't really know where that 34 00:01:56.239 --> 00:01:59.680 could take us, but hopefully we'll enjoy ourselves and have 35 00:01:59.719 --> 00:02:01.480 some fun. And I do also feel like the end 36 00:02:01.480 --> 00:02:06.599 of May early June is usually the as far as 37 00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:09.759 sports for me specifically, and I know I'm not alone, 38 00:02:09.919 --> 00:02:12.599 but when it comes to like what we really are 39 00:02:12.639 --> 00:02:14.800 interested in when it comes to sports in this market, 40 00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:17.360 it's pretty dead right now. I mean, you do have 41 00:02:17.400 --> 00:02:21.000 college baseball postseason getting underway, and that's actually grown in 42 00:02:21.039 --> 00:02:23.319 popularity over the years, but we don't talk. Even if 43 00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:25.199 you end up getting into it more so than you 44 00:02:25.240 --> 00:02:27.599 typically would and you watch it on TV now more 45 00:02:27.599 --> 00:02:29.599 than you did a few years ago. It still isn't 46 00:02:29.639 --> 00:02:32.080 necessarily like a big sports talk radio kind of thing, 47 00:02:32.120 --> 00:02:36.800 but nonetheless, college basketball, college football, the NFL. I mean, 48 00:02:37.120 --> 00:02:39.080 that's really kind of what we eat off of around 49 00:02:39.120 --> 00:02:40.800 here for a good chunk of the year. And it's 50 00:02:40.879 --> 00:02:42.960 pretty dry right now. Right the dust is pretty much 51 00:02:42.960 --> 00:02:45.639 settled when it comes to the portal. We've pretty much 52 00:02:45.680 --> 00:02:48.719 exhausted a lot of the different talking points out there 53 00:02:48.759 --> 00:02:51.719 when it comes to the college football season coming up here. 54 00:02:52.439 --> 00:02:55.360 So we'll continue to you know, I'm sure get into 55 00:02:55.360 --> 00:02:58.039 some of that throughout these next four days at some point, 56 00:02:58.039 --> 00:03:00.240 But what I'm getting at is this is usually the 57 00:03:00.280 --> 00:03:02.159 time of year where I'm like, all right, we got 58 00:03:02.199 --> 00:03:06.120 from now until mid August where it's you know, you 59 00:03:06.120 --> 00:03:10.680 can you can basically take the guardrails off a little bit, 60 00:03:10.719 --> 00:03:12.960 if you will, and just end up in places that 61 00:03:13.319 --> 00:03:15.319 you know, people would typically say, what the hell are 62 00:03:15.319 --> 00:03:17.360 they doing? Why are they not talking about the depth 63 00:03:17.360 --> 00:03:19.240 we have on the defensive line this year? Or why 64 00:03:19.240 --> 00:03:21.759 are they not talking about you know, major League baseball? 65 00:03:21.800 --> 00:03:23.400 And I'm not really sure if anybody who says those 66 00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:26.960 things they're regular listeners, because I mean, you've never got 67 00:03:26.960 --> 00:03:30.000 that here. But it's a really long winded way of 68 00:03:30.039 --> 00:03:32.360 me putting it that it works out well for this 69 00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:34.400 being the last week because this is typically the time 70 00:03:34.439 --> 00:03:37.039 of the year on the calendar where I feel more 71 00:03:37.039 --> 00:03:39.039 comfortable and I'm not in my own head as much 72 00:03:39.080 --> 00:03:41.560 as far as bringing up anything, right, It's not like, 73 00:03:41.680 --> 00:03:44.159 well you need to only only you know, if you're 74 00:03:44.159 --> 00:03:46.479 gonna you're gonna talk about this, you know, do it 75 00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:49.360 when you have a five minute segment and not whenever. 76 00:03:49.439 --> 00:03:52.599 You know, it's prime time drive time listening, and you know, 77 00:03:52.639 --> 00:03:54.479 I'm just gonna try to not have any awareness of 78 00:03:54.479 --> 00:03:56.840 that and see where we where we end up. But 79 00:03:56.879 --> 00:03:59.319 you can listen to us wherever you are, whatever you're doing, 80 00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:01.039 as long as you have some type of connection, because 81 00:04:01.039 --> 00:04:02.960 you can listen live on the Aheart Radio app also 82 00:04:03.000 --> 00:04:07.240 listen live at seven to ninety Louisville dot Com. Certainly 83 00:04:07.280 --> 00:04:09.960 a lot on the docket today to react to from 84 00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:12.800 the long weekend. We'll get into the NBA playoffs because 85 00:04:13.360 --> 00:04:16.000 we have I mean, we've got my Pacers doing what 86 00:04:16.040 --> 00:04:19.040 the Knicks did, blowing a game that now has me 87 00:04:19.120 --> 00:04:22.879 worried about what happens tonight, because I mean, the Pacers 88 00:04:22.920 --> 00:04:25.839 have been the better team in this series for a 89 00:04:25.920 --> 00:04:27.600 good chunk of it. It's kind of tricky because they 90 00:04:27.600 --> 00:04:31.279 weren't really the better team for probably sixty five to 91 00:04:31.319 --> 00:04:34.079 seventy percent of Game one, but they pulled off an 92 00:04:34.120 --> 00:04:38.399 insane come back, and then also in Game two they 93 00:04:38.439 --> 00:04:41.399 were better and really kind of you know, it was 94 00:04:41.399 --> 00:04:43.040 a close, a really good game by the way, but 95 00:04:43.160 --> 00:04:45.800 the Pacers end up pulling it out and go up too. 96 00:04:45.839 --> 00:04:48.360 Oh and then of course Game three, I mean it's 97 00:04:48.360 --> 00:04:51.000 an endy. It looks as if the Knicks have decided, Okay, 98 00:04:51.040 --> 00:04:53.199 let's just go ahead and throw in the towel and 99 00:04:53.319 --> 00:04:56.600 see if we can survive Game four, send it back 100 00:04:56.600 --> 00:04:58.920 to New York with new life. Well then, you know, 101 00:04:58.959 --> 00:05:03.120 the Pacers let me down. That's not really what I'm 102 00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:05.240 sure they're thinking about letting me down, But they let 103 00:05:05.279 --> 00:05:07.680 themselves down because they should have won the game and 104 00:05:07.720 --> 00:05:10.160 they got sloppy. The Knicks give them credit. Carl Anthony 105 00:05:10.199 --> 00:05:12.319 Towns is a rare guy in a lot of ways, 106 00:05:12.720 --> 00:05:15.160 but man, he's a hell of a player, super skilled 107 00:05:16.040 --> 00:05:19.199 and just just a tough tough dude. And sometimes he 108 00:05:19.199 --> 00:05:22.519 doesn't necessarily sound like a tough tough dude, but he's tough. 109 00:05:22.560 --> 00:05:25.800 He's a really tough matchup, So I really, I mean, 110 00:05:25.839 --> 00:05:29.600 I'm if. I mean, I don't want to. First of all, 111 00:05:29.639 --> 00:05:31.000 I know a lot of you probably don't really care 112 00:05:31.000 --> 00:05:32.759 as much about the Nicks and the Pacers like I do. 113 00:05:33.279 --> 00:05:37.680 But I kind of feel like a loss here it's over. 114 00:05:37.680 --> 00:05:39.480 I mean I shouldn't say it's over, but like New 115 00:05:39.560 --> 00:05:43.600 York stole two back from you, and then you go 116 00:05:43.720 --> 00:05:46.040 into the garden needing to win two of the last 117 00:05:46.079 --> 00:05:48.279 three here, and you do. You will get a trip 118 00:05:48.319 --> 00:05:51.399 home in game in game six if we get there. 119 00:05:51.480 --> 00:05:54.079 But letting that one slip away when it was right 120 00:05:54.079 --> 00:05:57.519 there you were blowing them out, I'd be a liar 121 00:05:57.720 --> 00:05:59.480 if I said, as a Pacers fan, I haven't been 122 00:05:59.519 --> 00:06:02.639 thinking like that could have when that lead slipped away 123 00:06:03.240 --> 00:06:05.800 and the Knicks came back and took it from us 124 00:06:05.839 --> 00:06:08.800 and won. Credit to them again. And I think it 125 00:06:08.920 --> 00:06:11.199 was a collective effort on both sides, the Pacers doing 126 00:06:11.240 --> 00:06:13.000 things that left the door open for the Knicks, but 127 00:06:13.079 --> 00:06:16.920 also credit to the Knicks. They took advantage of it, 128 00:06:17.079 --> 00:06:19.639 and if they were able to win tonight, it changes everything. 129 00:06:20.079 --> 00:06:23.480 I think a win tonight for the Pacers is I 130 00:06:23.480 --> 00:06:25.639 mean it almost means the series might be over it. 131 00:06:25.680 --> 00:06:27.639 That sounds like an extreme thing. But look, if you 132 00:06:28.199 --> 00:06:31.959 can get up three to one, yeah, I guess then 133 00:06:31.959 --> 00:06:33.879 if you slip up, then the pressure's there, like there's 134 00:06:33.879 --> 00:06:36.720 always gonna be some some some components or some pressure 135 00:06:36.720 --> 00:06:39.480 components as far as Okay, if you lose this one, 136 00:06:39.560 --> 00:06:43.040 then Mann, the pressure's on. But still to tonight just 137 00:06:43.079 --> 00:06:47.199 seems like an insanely important game in this series. Every 138 00:06:47.199 --> 00:06:48.560 one of them is right, you got to get best 139 00:06:48.560 --> 00:06:51.240 of boar out of seven. But if the Knicks win tonight, 140 00:06:51.480 --> 00:06:55.879 they actually have taken back all the momentum plus some right, 141 00:06:55.920 --> 00:07:00.680 because being tied to a piece wouldn't typically be what 142 00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:02.800 the Knicks would be view. I don't think the Knicks 143 00:07:02.800 --> 00:07:05.360 would look at that as like a great position. But man, 144 00:07:05.480 --> 00:07:07.800 after they got down oh two and had an old 145 00:07:07.920 --> 00:07:10.839 time melt down in Game one, if they can then 146 00:07:11.240 --> 00:07:14.839 just a week later find themselves with a best two 147 00:07:14.839 --> 00:07:17.199 out of three series where they get home court advantage, 148 00:07:17.199 --> 00:07:19.720 it's new life for them. So if you can't tell 149 00:07:19.759 --> 00:07:23.199 I'm a little scared about tonight, I mean, would you agree, 150 00:07:23.240 --> 00:07:26.360 Austin Like the Pacers lose this, then they get tight 151 00:07:26.560 --> 00:07:28.079 the butthole gets tight. Oh yeah. 152 00:07:28.199 --> 00:07:30.560 If there's any series I think from that that still 153 00:07:30.600 --> 00:07:33.839 left from either the Eastern Conference or Western Conference that 154 00:07:33.920 --> 00:07:35.439 I think is going to go to seven. I don't 155 00:07:35.439 --> 00:07:37.600 mean that the the Scaria. I think it might be 156 00:07:37.600 --> 00:07:40.959 this one. Oh dude, this this worries me. Bro'll lead 157 00:07:41.000 --> 00:07:43.519 is safe in the series. It hasn't been any game. 158 00:07:43.639 --> 00:07:46.680 Yep, that's so true. And I'll admit maybe there was 159 00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:47.920 just a you know, I don't think I had any 160 00:07:47.959 --> 00:07:52.279 factor in the loss, but karma, Like I thought to myself, 161 00:07:52.279 --> 00:07:55.600 we were watching the second half on the on the 162 00:07:55.600 --> 00:07:59.199 back porch, and they had such a nice, comfortable lead. 163 00:07:59.199 --> 00:08:00.800 I guess it was the end of the first half actually, 164 00:08:01.240 --> 00:08:03.879 and I'm thinking, like it's over and they're going to 165 00:08:04.000 --> 00:08:06.800 kill them. And sure enough, I look up, you know, 166 00:08:07.839 --> 00:08:10.279 midway through the second half and it's it's still in 167 00:08:10.319 --> 00:08:12.160 a good position for the Pacers. But then that fourth 168 00:08:12.199 --> 00:08:15.519 quarter it was a much different thing. I hate that feeling. Yeah, 169 00:08:15.560 --> 00:08:17.439 oh yeah, it makes it you know, it makes me 170 00:08:17.439 --> 00:08:18.959 feel alive. It's a little it's a little bit of 171 00:08:18.959 --> 00:08:21.680 a rush on the hammock. No hammock. I wish we 172 00:08:21.720 --> 00:08:24.519 had a hammock, but uh, just imagine you yeah, hammock. Yeah. 173 00:08:24.639 --> 00:08:27.040 I just realized I probably need to just in my 174 00:08:27.160 --> 00:08:30.439 mind think of things that I typically would say on 175 00:08:30.480 --> 00:08:32.480 this show that I need not to do when I 176 00:08:32.559 --> 00:08:35.679 moved to eight forty whas because I don't know if 177 00:08:35.679 --> 00:08:40.159 it would be a good thing. Probably would not be. 178 00:08:40.159 --> 00:08:41.639 In fact, I know it wouldn't be a good thing, 179 00:08:41.799 --> 00:08:44.440 and I need to not do it. Like imagine me, Hey, 180 00:08:44.559 --> 00:08:47.000 let's throw it to Scott Fitzgerald. The buttholes are going 181 00:08:47.039 --> 00:08:49.080 to get tight, right like that's you know, it was 182 00:08:49.120 --> 00:08:50.799 just it was a It was a It stood out 183 00:08:50.840 --> 00:08:53.000 to me as something that you know, probably shouldn't say anyway. 184 00:08:53.000 --> 00:08:55.639 There's no real added benefit, but you know sometimes there's 185 00:08:55.679 --> 00:08:57.919 just not I didn't even notice it. Yeah, well, because 186 00:08:57.960 --> 00:09:00.879 again that's just our style, right, you know, just shed 187 00:09:00.960 --> 00:09:03.039 some light on it, be to be clear. What I 188 00:09:03.120 --> 00:09:05.159 mean is is, and I think most people know, is 189 00:09:05.159 --> 00:09:07.240 that you're gonna get like, you're gonna get nervous, You're 190 00:09:07.279 --> 00:09:10.159 gonna get tight because you realize we had a momentum 191 00:09:10.519 --> 00:09:13.039 and now we've let it slip away. Uh oh, we're 192 00:09:13.240 --> 00:09:15.159 you know, we're up against it here. They've got us 193 00:09:15.200 --> 00:09:16.960 on our heels and I guess I should have said 194 00:09:16.960 --> 00:09:19.279 that rather than mentioning butthole being tight. But you know, again, 195 00:09:19.320 --> 00:09:22.639 sometimes it's just, you know, we're lawless at times around here. 196 00:09:22.799 --> 00:09:26.039 My old football coach used to say, so tight you 197 00:09:26.039 --> 00:09:28.120 couldn't put a nail with the jackhammer through it. 198 00:09:28.279 --> 00:09:30.799 I like that saying that's very very tight too. By 199 00:09:30.840 --> 00:09:34.480 the way, coach, shout out coach Stalworth. I'm always down 200 00:09:34.519 --> 00:09:36.679 for shouting out high school coaches. Good stuff. All right, 201 00:09:36.720 --> 00:09:41.480 So tonight again, we've got Game four of the Eastern 202 00:09:41.480 --> 00:09:45.840 Conference Finals. Last night, it was the Thunder that moved 203 00:09:45.960 --> 00:09:48.679 to a three to one lead after they got blown 204 00:09:48.840 --> 00:09:51.799 off the floor in Game three, that first game in Minnesota. 205 00:09:52.279 --> 00:09:54.120 And I kind of feel like the Tea Wolves are 206 00:09:54.120 --> 00:09:57.240 a little bit dead now. And for as much as 207 00:09:58.720 --> 00:10:01.159 we and I say we, I know I'm not alone 208 00:10:01.759 --> 00:10:04.440 have hyped up Anthony Edwards. And I don't mean just 209 00:10:04.519 --> 00:10:06.080 like around here on this show. I mean like he's 210 00:10:06.120 --> 00:10:08.279 one of the he's one of the bigger stars in 211 00:10:08.320 --> 00:10:11.039 the NBA. Is really really, really good. I do think 212 00:10:11.039 --> 00:10:13.159 it's gonna be something I remember for a long time, 213 00:10:13.240 --> 00:10:16.159 just because it seemed like a big moment one in 214 00:10:16.200 --> 00:10:18.679 his career. But also just in kind of the passing 215 00:10:18.720 --> 00:10:20.320 of the torch, if you will, when it comes to 216 00:10:20.399 --> 00:10:23.679 new stars of the league. But when Anthony Edwards participated 217 00:10:23.720 --> 00:10:26.240 with Team USA last year in the Olympics, it was 218 00:10:26.399 --> 00:10:28.679 it was a known thing. In fact, many of the 219 00:10:28.799 --> 00:10:32.240 superstars that represented Team USA would come out and say, 220 00:10:32.279 --> 00:10:35.600 he's our best player. He's that he's that special, which 221 00:10:35.600 --> 00:10:38.559 he is, but you know, he he doesn't have an 222 00:10:38.559 --> 00:10:42.480 element to his game that is that is, you know, 223 00:10:43.879 --> 00:10:45.720 super important this day and age. I know people call 224 00:10:45.799 --> 00:10:49.720 him a free throw merchant meaning shay Jodis Alexander, but 225 00:10:50.120 --> 00:10:52.679 he's a three level scorer. And I heard a really 226 00:10:52.720 --> 00:10:56.720 good breakdown and I do think at times it is 227 00:10:56.799 --> 00:11:01.799 almost it makes it watchable at times if you're if 228 00:11:01.799 --> 00:11:04.000 you because it's not uncommon to tune into the NBA 229 00:11:04.639 --> 00:11:06.960 and for you know, three four minutes of action with 230 00:11:07.080 --> 00:11:10.440 very little to no stoppages in that time. It's a 231 00:11:10.519 --> 00:11:13.519 rare thing for you to not see somebody really just 232 00:11:13.679 --> 00:11:17.080 selling a foul and just trying debate people into contact 233 00:11:17.080 --> 00:11:20.120 and manipulating the defender, which technically there's nothing against that, 234 00:11:20.519 --> 00:11:23.000 there's no rule against that, but like it's just it's 235 00:11:23.120 --> 00:11:25.200 not really entertaining to watch, but it's a huge part 236 00:11:25.200 --> 00:11:28.399 of the NBA now And for all these players that 237 00:11:28.519 --> 00:11:32.080 you know play above the rim and are vertical, guys 238 00:11:32.240 --> 00:11:36.159 like you know Anthony Edwards, who is just a specimen, 239 00:11:36.240 --> 00:11:39.000 just a freak athlete, can do can you know, can 240 00:11:39.039 --> 00:11:41.039 do a lot of things. But then you have guys 241 00:11:41.080 --> 00:11:43.600 like Sga who he's a he's a three level scorer. 242 00:11:43.679 --> 00:11:46.879 He's certainly a good athlete. He's really quick. But what 243 00:11:47.200 --> 00:11:50.799 makes him such a special player is a lot of things. 244 00:11:50.799 --> 00:11:52.120 But I think he can get to the line as 245 00:11:52.120 --> 00:11:54.879 good as anybody. But also with that, it's because he 246 00:11:54.960 --> 00:11:58.600 has phenomenal footwork, right Like he you can't speed him up. 247 00:11:59.000 --> 00:12:01.200 He can speed you up, slow you down, and make 248 00:12:01.279 --> 00:12:04.320 you foul him. And sometimes it is just him, you know, 249 00:12:04.840 --> 00:12:06.279 he doesn't do it as bad as Brunts and Brunson 250 00:12:06.320 --> 00:12:07.960 is the worst I've ever seen, and just laying his 251 00:12:08.080 --> 00:12:11.080 big frame on somebody and falling down and then getting 252 00:12:11.080 --> 00:12:13.279 a call, and then at times he'll hook and holt. 253 00:12:13.279 --> 00:12:15.360 I mean, he's gifted at it. But you know, it's 254 00:12:15.519 --> 00:12:17.159 if you can do it and it helps you win 255 00:12:17.600 --> 00:12:20.399 and it's not technically against the rules, then I see 256 00:12:20.399 --> 00:12:22.480 why people are doing it. But what I'm getting at 257 00:12:22.559 --> 00:12:27.000 with SGA and Anthony Edwards, both phenomenal players, both are 258 00:12:27.039 --> 00:12:30.840 probably I mean those guys right there might be the 259 00:12:30.919 --> 00:12:33.919 two faces of the NBA in five years. I mean, 260 00:12:33.919 --> 00:12:37.840 that's just how good they are. So it's not like 261 00:12:37.919 --> 00:12:40.720 one's way better than the other. But I think the 262 00:12:40.720 --> 00:12:43.159 supporting cast that Shay has is actually better than what 263 00:12:43.200 --> 00:12:45.960 Anthony Edwards has. But also to me stands out in 264 00:12:46.000 --> 00:12:50.200 this series that Edwards is just not quite there yet. 265 00:12:50.240 --> 00:12:52.600 And look, we'll see, I mean SGA is in the 266 00:12:52.639 --> 00:12:54.840 Western Conference Finals. I mean they still have to win 267 00:12:54.879 --> 00:12:57.919 this series and then potentially beat the Pacers or the Knicks, 268 00:12:57.919 --> 00:12:59.519 and then if you win a ring, it does change 269 00:12:59.600 --> 00:13:02.240 everybody looks at you. But I just I've been really 270 00:13:02.240 --> 00:13:05.279 impressed with SGA in this entire postseason. And there's been 271 00:13:05.279 --> 00:13:08.759 a lot of talk about again free throw merchant and 272 00:13:09.039 --> 00:13:13.399 wanting to discredit how good he actually is by mentioning, well, 273 00:13:13.399 --> 00:13:14.919 he just gets to the free throw line a lot. Well, 274 00:13:15.000 --> 00:13:18.360 that's that check. That's a big part of basketball. And 275 00:13:18.440 --> 00:13:21.600 if you or somebody that can get to the free 276 00:13:21.600 --> 00:13:24.919 throw line a lot and score a lot of points, 277 00:13:24.919 --> 00:13:26.799 because you know, you make a lot of your free throws. 278 00:13:27.519 --> 00:13:29.639 In turn, you know what that does, It makes you 279 00:13:29.639 --> 00:13:32.600 a really really good basketball player. I mean, when you 280 00:13:32.639 --> 00:13:35.279 think of the guys in the NBA over the years, 281 00:13:35.399 --> 00:13:38.960 or even guys in college that were really really good 282 00:13:39.559 --> 00:13:41.759 at getting to the line and they shot a lot 283 00:13:41.759 --> 00:13:44.080 of free throws, they made a lot of free throws, 284 00:13:44.360 --> 00:13:47.200 how many of those guys would you classify as not 285 00:13:47.360 --> 00:13:52.240 good players? And I don't mean like I mean, anybody 286 00:13:52.279 --> 00:13:54.399 playing in the NBA or high level college is technically 287 00:13:54.399 --> 00:13:56.879 a good player. But when you can, i mean take 288 00:13:56.919 --> 00:14:01.000 all levels of it, high school, college, NBA. If there's 289 00:14:01.000 --> 00:14:03.960 somebody that is getting to the free throw line more 290 00:14:04.000 --> 00:14:07.399 than anybody else and it's not even close, that person's 291 00:14:07.440 --> 00:14:09.879 a good player, right because they're they're able to get 292 00:14:09.879 --> 00:14:11.639 to the line score a lot of points. So it's 293 00:14:11.679 --> 00:14:13.960 just one of those things that how that's now being 294 00:14:14.039 --> 00:14:15.720 used as well, he's really not that good he can 295 00:14:15.759 --> 00:14:17.120 just get to the free throw line. Well, it kind 296 00:14:17.120 --> 00:14:19.120 of works together. That's that's you know, that's kind of 297 00:14:19.159 --> 00:14:23.360 how it works. So anyways, NBA playoffs again, who knows 298 00:14:23.360 --> 00:14:25.840 what we'll get tonight because you just never know what 299 00:14:25.879 --> 00:14:27.679 This series in the East it's not. I haven't put 300 00:14:27.720 --> 00:14:29.840 any I haven't had any action on it. The last 301 00:14:29.879 --> 00:14:31.840 couple of days, I did a I did a player 302 00:14:31.960 --> 00:14:37.440 prop bet with Halliburton and Nie Smith and on Sunday 303 00:14:37.639 --> 00:14:40.279 and it did not didn't go well for me. 304 00:14:40.399 --> 00:14:42.039 Yeah, so I've been on. I've been off the last 305 00:14:42.080 --> 00:14:43.519 couple of days too. It's been pretty eat. 306 00:14:43.559 --> 00:14:45.879 But we get back on it tonight. Pretty mean you work? 307 00:14:45.919 --> 00:14:46.120 Yeah? 308 00:14:46.120 --> 00:14:46.840 Why not? Why? 309 00:14:47.120 --> 00:14:49.480 Exactly right? Why not? It's something to do. It's a 310 00:14:49.759 --> 00:14:52.639 it's Tuesday, right, that's right. It feels like it feels 311 00:14:52.720 --> 00:14:55.120 like a Monday, but it's a Tuesday, which it. 312 00:14:55.039 --> 00:14:57.200 Feels like it's a Monday. But I already feel halfway 313 00:14:57.200 --> 00:14:57.720 through the week. 314 00:14:57.879 --> 00:15:00.519 Since I think we just recently had this converse, let's 315 00:15:00.519 --> 00:15:02.879 have it again because I'm having a brain fart. If 316 00:15:02.919 --> 00:15:07.039 we had four day work weeks and not five, wouldn't 317 00:15:07.039 --> 00:15:12.679 you agree that Friday off would be more preferable than 318 00:15:12.720 --> 00:15:15.519 Monday off, even though it's the same Technically it's the 319 00:15:15.519 --> 00:15:18.840 same schedule. It's three days off with four work days, 320 00:15:19.120 --> 00:15:21.919 but there's just something like Monday's Monday's great. Having off 321 00:15:21.960 --> 00:15:23.519 any off days a great day, right, Like we love 322 00:15:23.559 --> 00:15:25.639 off days and spend time with your family, especially when 323 00:15:25.639 --> 00:15:27.879 it's a holiday, that kind of stuff. But I think 324 00:15:28.080 --> 00:15:30.080 if you just have a shorter work week and the 325 00:15:30.080 --> 00:15:32.600 weekends extended in that regard, like what you do by 326 00:15:32.679 --> 00:15:37.039 adding Monday is just making it to where we get 327 00:15:37.080 --> 00:15:39.480 a little bit of a delay in having to return 328 00:15:39.679 --> 00:15:42.559 to our normal schedule and work week, whereas if we 329 00:15:42.600 --> 00:15:45.639 get Friday, it's like we got we got out early, 330 00:15:45.720 --> 00:15:48.720 you know what I mean. And really, again, let's be honest, 331 00:15:48.799 --> 00:15:50.600 it's the same exact thing as far as the amount 332 00:15:50.600 --> 00:15:52.480 of time you're working and the amount of time that 333 00:15:52.519 --> 00:15:55.600 you're not working. But the way you can manipulate it, 334 00:15:55.759 --> 00:15:57.399 I just think it'd be if we did go to 335 00:15:57.639 --> 00:15:58.919 I don't think we're going to it. If we already 336 00:15:58.919 --> 00:16:00.720 to go to a four day work week, I would 337 00:16:00.759 --> 00:16:03.039 be all in on making sure that's a Friday that 338 00:16:03.080 --> 00:16:05.519 we don't work. I mean, look, I think you use 339 00:16:05.559 --> 00:16:08.120 this I try platform somehow, trust me. The amount of 340 00:16:08.120 --> 00:16:11.960 people who don't follow at all anything politically, and look, 341 00:16:11.960 --> 00:16:13.840 if you don't, more power to you live your life, 342 00:16:13.919 --> 00:16:16.279 do your thing. But and you just heard there was 343 00:16:16.279 --> 00:16:18.519 somebody out there that was like, yeah, I'm all about 344 00:16:18.519 --> 00:16:21.679 everybody getting three day weekends, there'd be enough people to 345 00:16:21.679 --> 00:16:23.240 where that you hit, you'd hit the ballot like you'd 346 00:16:23.240 --> 00:16:26.039 appear as receiving votes because enough people who don't care 347 00:16:26.080 --> 00:16:28.440 what he say. Hey, if all I gotta do is to, 348 00:16:28.559 --> 00:16:30.039 you know, go vote for this guy and there's a 349 00:16:30.120 --> 00:16:32.159 chance that he may win and eliminate a work day 350 00:16:32.279 --> 00:16:33.320 out of the week, I'm all in. 351 00:16:33.399 --> 00:16:35.919 Like that would be like the new legalized marijuana trend. 352 00:16:36.000 --> 00:16:38.679 And yeah, this generation everyone's gonna jump on that. No, 353 00:16:39.159 --> 00:16:43.039 I know, I listen. I absolutely agree because Monday for me, 354 00:16:43.639 --> 00:16:46.519 fundamentally in my mind, like that's to get back to 355 00:16:46.559 --> 00:16:49.080 work day. I enjoy having it off on days that 356 00:16:49.120 --> 00:16:52.360 we do, and I'll my goodness, I'll take advantage of it. 357 00:16:52.399 --> 00:16:55.399 I'll sleep in and the whole nine. But like it 358 00:16:55.519 --> 00:16:57.960 just messes up the rest of your week. We're having 359 00:16:58.000 --> 00:17:00.399 that Friday off. It doesn't do nothing.
