1
00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:10,480
Speaker 1: Lunchtimers. This is the Matt Thomas Show. I have PTSD

2
00:00:10,519 --> 00:00:11,160
for the Warriors.

3
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:13,560
Speaker 2: I told you all that a month ago, and I

4
00:00:13,599 --> 00:00:15,720
want to change in my viewpoint of things. Yeah, but

5
00:00:15,839 --> 00:00:18,600
PTSD is post traumatic stress disorder.

6
00:00:18,679 --> 00:00:24,600
Speaker 1: I'm current. We're currently being traumatized Warriors. Will this ever end?

7
00:00:24,679 --> 00:00:29,879
Can Steph Curry please stop torturing us. I'm sitting there

8
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:32,679
in the arena. He's got it like people draked all

9
00:00:32,719 --> 00:00:36,280
over him, falling away to his right, throwing up prayers,

10
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:38,600
and they you know what the worst part is, Matt,

11
00:00:39,119 --> 00:00:41,560
They swish. They don't even hit the rim yet. It

12
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:45,200
doesn't say is at the front iron, is it the backboard?

13
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:48,560
It just goes right through like it was organized, get

14
00:00:48,719 --> 00:00:52,119
right through, like a like an arrow through your heart.

15
00:00:52,679 --> 00:00:56,320
It hurts and I'm over it and I'm sick of it.

16
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:59,920
And how many guys in NBA history in rhythm shoot

17
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,000
thirty five footers and it's just nothing. That's what he does.

18
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:04,840
The greatest shooter ever walked the planet.

19
00:01:05,159 --> 00:01:05,680
Speaker 3: He just is.

20
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 2: The rockets that actually did a really good job on him.

21
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:12,560
You look at the box score, you wouldn't think so.

22
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,640
But they played pretty good defense well. C first quarter

23
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,200
he couldn't buy a shot outside the ark, and then

24
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:19,640
he decided in the second quarter, I'm gonna go in

25
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:21,120
there and just get everything in the paint. I think

26
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:23,799
he had made three or four consecutive and then third

27
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:24,840
quarter just went off.

28
00:01:24,879 --> 00:01:28,359
Speaker 1: And yeah, people think he's just a shooter. Aren't paying attention.

29
00:01:28,439 --> 00:01:30,519
He can he can get to the basket. You know,

30
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:34,680
the little underhand, underhand flip that he does. He it's

31
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,959
high off the back, it's got English, it's got I.

32
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:39,959
Speaker 2: Mean, now he'll put up some goofy ones and he'll

33
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:41,840
turn the ball over like he did last night with four,

34
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:45,840
but I mean thirty one points after scoring just three

35
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:47,879
in the last time these two teams met. Now, of

36
00:01:47,959 --> 00:01:50,159
course that was a regular season, but that's by by

37
00:01:50,319 --> 00:01:52,760
that is long in the very view mirror. What we're

38
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:57,480
staring at right now is the Golden State Warriors in

39
00:01:57,599 --> 00:02:00,640
a Rocket debut playoff wise for a bunch of different

40
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:04,040
folks and including everybody at least wearing rocket gear for

41
00:02:04,079 --> 00:02:06,319
the first time. Fred van vliet INA's first playoff game,

42
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,280
Dylan Brooks in his first Rocket playoff game, and then

43
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,960
he had a men out beat Jalen tari Uh Jabbari

44
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:13,840
in their first game.

45
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:19,439
Speaker 1: I mean, honestly was horrible.

46
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, Fred was terrible, terrible, And and I'm a

47
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,479
huge Fred van Vliek guy off and on the court.

48
00:02:28,719 --> 00:02:30,599
I defend him on air, I defend him on Twitter.

49
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:34,199
And he went, it was just dead. It was bad

50
00:02:34,439 --> 00:02:37,719
four of nineteen. And here's the problem. I listened to

51
00:02:37,719 --> 00:02:41,639
you on the rocket drop. I figured out the one. Yeah, uh,

52
00:02:41,759 --> 00:02:44,560
you got a couple of calls. They there were very

53
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,479
few contested miss shots, boys and girls. There were a

54
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:52,000
lot of in stride, open looks, good passes. Fred had

55
00:02:52,039 --> 00:02:56,759
a couple on a break top of the key, three missed,

56
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,360
long rebound, goes right back to him, shoots it up again.

57
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:02,719
I mean, you have to knock down open shots in

58
00:03:02,759 --> 00:03:05,800
the association, no matter who you are. Yes, if you don't,

59
00:03:06,199 --> 00:03:08,800
you can play. You can be the best offensive rebounding

60
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:10,560
team in the NBA, which the Rockets have been.

61
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:12,439
Speaker 1: Yes, they have. And I'll tell you what.

62
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:14,800
Speaker 2: Draymond Green, and you know I'm not a fan of his,

63
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,199
but boy, he had a pretty poignant comment last night.

64
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,439
He said, the best offensive Rockets has last night was

65
00:03:19,439 --> 00:03:20,840
the offensive rebound.

66
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:22,319
Speaker 1: That is correct.

67
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:26,639
Speaker 2: Twenty two offensive rebounds and they still lost by ten

68
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:31,159
because you went six of twenty nine from three. That's

69
00:03:31,199 --> 00:03:33,800
twenty one percent for those of you playing at home. Yeah,

70
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,520
you cannot do that. Also, you can't miss nine free throws.

71
00:03:39,159 --> 00:03:42,240
But unfortunately that's who the Rockets are. The Rockets have been.

72
00:03:42,599 --> 00:03:44,800
I mean there, I know there's been about seventy four

73
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,639
percent all year long. They've really probably said dead in

74
00:03:47,639 --> 00:03:49,840
turn is probably been worse than that. They're dead last

75
00:03:49,879 --> 00:03:52,560
and free throws twenty first and three point percentage. So

76
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,000
what has been a problem for them all year long

77
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:56,680
was a problem for them in game one.

78
00:03:56,879 --> 00:03:59,319
Speaker 1: Couldn't make a three, missed a bunch of free throws,

79
00:03:59,439 --> 00:04:04,680
you lost the Yeah, it's frustrating.

80
00:04:05,759 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 2: And Jalen tried the outside didn't work, tried the inside

81
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:12,360
didn't work. The angles he was taking on those layups,

82
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:14,680
which he usually is a pretty good finisher, he couldn't

83
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,240
get to. He also was didn't get a lot of

84
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:19,399
calls in a little block but you know, again against

85
00:04:19,399 --> 00:04:21,879
those trees. But that's just what the NBA playoffs about.

86
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:23,759
I didn't think officiating had anything to do with anything

87
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:25,000
last night except.

88
00:04:24,759 --> 00:04:25,279
Speaker 1: Just be there.

89
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 2: No, there's a couple of bad calls on the Pajemski

90
00:04:28,079 --> 00:04:31,360
travel and the was it off Draymond instead of Steven

91
00:04:31,399 --> 00:04:34,240
Adams on the sideline, But there was I mean, not

92
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:36,680
a non factor. No Steph Curry got fouled a bunch

93
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:38,560
of times when he shouldn't have. There were some other

94
00:04:38,759 --> 00:04:41,480
questionable calls on the other side. So in the Rockets

95
00:04:41,519 --> 00:04:43,800
second quarter, and they just couldn't hold onto the basketball,

96
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,000
turned them all over seventeen times. There was like a

97
00:04:46,079 --> 00:04:48,920
stretch and about three minutes they turned it over five times,

98
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,560
I mean, and Golden State, to its credit, turned those

99
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:52,000
into points.

100
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:53,040
Speaker 1: They scored twenty five.

101
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 4: Bad.

102
00:04:55,519 --> 00:04:57,319
Speaker 2: I mean, let's go glass half full if you want

103
00:04:57,319 --> 00:04:59,879
to for a second, if you don't mind as bad

104
00:05:00,199 --> 00:05:04,000
the Rocket shot and I mean wolful from three, wolful

105
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,079
from the free throw line, wolful from the free and

106
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,079
in a hard time holding out of the basketball, especially

107
00:05:08,079 --> 00:05:08,800
in the first half.

108
00:05:09,399 --> 00:05:11,439
Speaker 1: It got to a one possession game in the fourth quarter.

109
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:12,319
It just did.

110
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,839
Speaker 2: And I don't want to say clean things up, but

111
00:05:15,879 --> 00:05:19,199
it just shows you that it's a lot closer a

112
00:05:19,399 --> 00:05:21,319
series that maybe you want to think it can be,

113
00:05:21,439 --> 00:05:23,879
especially after what you saw last night, but it could

114
00:05:23,879 --> 00:05:28,639
be because Curry was excellent. Jimmy Butler got to the

115
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:30,759
mid range like he normally does. But there was nobody

116
00:05:30,759 --> 00:05:33,399
else on Golden State that really scared me. But Jemski

117
00:05:33,519 --> 00:05:37,800
was human yesterday. Draymond Green doesn't shoot a whole lot.

118
00:05:37,879 --> 00:05:40,959
Gary Payton was okay. I mean they only shot thirty

119
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:44,000
eight percent from three. That's that's not great for them.

120
00:05:44,079 --> 00:05:48,759
They also turned the ball over fourteen times. So it

121
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:52,600
came down to not to oversimplify things. It came down

122
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:54,480
to shots that got a fall.

123
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:55,439
Speaker 1: They just do.

124
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,879
Speaker 2: And if you just you, if you're starting backcourt goes

125
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:02,279
seven for thirty four and two of seventeen from three,

126
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:03,600
you're not going to win.

127
00:06:03,519 --> 00:06:04,439
Speaker 1: Any basketball games.

128
00:06:04,439 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 2: I don't care if it's the Golden Stick Orders in

129
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:08,399
the playoffs or Charlotte Hornets in a preseason game.

130
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:08,839
Speaker 1: Yeah.

131
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:10,959
Speaker 2: The good thing is the things that went well for

132
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:15,079
the Rockets are repeatable. Alprinchingoon there's nobody that can guard

133
00:06:15,199 --> 00:06:17,279
him down low. For the Golden State Warriors. He had

134
00:06:17,319 --> 00:06:19,480
twenty six points. He had eight of their first thirteen.

135
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,480
He had a really good game. Steven Adams crashing the boards.

136
00:06:22,519 --> 00:06:25,000
You can crash the boards on this Golden State Warriors team.

137
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:26,920
If you make a point to do so, which he made,

138
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,199
Docin does so those things you can do again.

139
00:06:30,399 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 1: It's not like they just shot out of their heads.

140
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:34,240
It was the exact opposite.

141
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:36,279
Speaker 2: And like you said, it was it was a three

142
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:37,800
point game at one point in the fourth quarter. You

143
00:06:37,879 --> 00:06:40,720
got down as much as twenty three. I think, yeah, yeah,

144
00:06:40,959 --> 00:06:43,680
and it was. It was a three point game in

145
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:48,560
the fourth. The second quarter did him in and you

146
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:52,120
spent basically the entire second half climbing that hill to

147
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,079
get back to close to where you were. And all

148
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:57,439
you needed was a key three or a key jump shot,

149
00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:00,000
or a finish or an and one. A men Thompson

150
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:04,720
I thought struggled last night in terms of just looking comfortable.

151
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:06,800
He looked like he had He looked like he was

152
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,439
losing his playoff Forage Dinerney on the floor last night.

153
00:07:11,399 --> 00:07:14,560
Uh yeah, I think Jabbari I thought had a better

154
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:16,560
second half than he had his first half. He turned

155
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:17,879
the ball over a lot in the first half, and

156
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:20,120
it's it's been somewhat of an offensive struggle for him.

157
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,720
And when he's not being found on basket cuts, which

158
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:24,480
he was a couple of times, to pass it and

159
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:26,240
get there and he was there for a couple of

160
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:27,600
cuts and he wasn't found.

161
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 4: He can't.

162
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 2: He's not a great creator of his own offense, especially

163
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:33,480
when the other team's backing way off of him. Which

164
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:35,360
now that teams all have a scouting report on him,

165
00:07:35,399 --> 00:07:37,759
and now you're into the playoffs, nobody's getting up on

166
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:39,879
him and Thompson at three point line, it's gonna be rare.

167
00:07:40,279 --> 00:07:42,120
So he's got to hit the elbows and that's what

168
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:44,079
those Apple jumpers were not falling for. He's got to

169
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,120
hit those fadeaways. And I mean, those are tough shots.

170
00:07:46,199 --> 00:07:48,160
I mean, it just is what it is. And if

171
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:49,920
those aren't falling and he's not getting to the basket,

172
00:07:49,959 --> 00:07:51,639
he's not going to score because it's not like he's

173
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:53,600
gonna light it up from three. He's just not And

174
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:55,000
I will say this, and I brought this up on

175
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,879
the broadcast last night. This let these scores as ninety

176
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,360
five eighty five will not be abnormal. Will We'll see

177
00:08:00,399 --> 00:08:03,959
low scoring games throughout the series. Before the five games

178
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:06,720
the winning team in the regular season and the four

179
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,160
of the five matchups, the highest points total one hundred

180
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,519
and six, which is in today's NBA world, it's very

181
00:08:11,639 --> 00:08:12,040
very low.

182
00:08:12,879 --> 00:08:13,319
Speaker 1: All right.

183
00:08:13,879 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 2: On the radio program today, we will have your opportunity

184
00:08:16,759 --> 00:08:19,399
to chime in on all things about the Rockets playoff

185
00:08:19,439 --> 00:08:20,959
game last night. If you want to get in on

186
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,079
the Astros set back to the San Diego Padres. I

187
00:08:23,079 --> 00:08:24,480
didn't win the series two games out of three, and

188
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:25,959
we actually had a two game winning trick for the

189
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:27,959
first time that year. That was kind of nice. We'll

190
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,319
get to that. We've got NFL Draft coming up player

191
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:34,399
this week. We have what I thought people said last time,

192
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,960
I didn't see any of it, was a very disappointing WrestleMania,

193
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:40,919
So we'll get into We'll get into Ross.

194
00:08:41,799 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 3: Yeah.

195
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:43,440
Speaker 2: I wrote a thousand words on it, and I'm gonna

196
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,279
be published in a thousand words. My gosh, I can't

197
00:08:46,279 --> 00:08:47,639
remember a lost time I wrote a thousand words. I

198
00:08:47,639 --> 00:08:49,399
don't think I wrote a thousand words in college.

199
00:08:49,879 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 1: Uh.

200
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 2: And then we also have what else NBA playoffs of

201
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:57,759
off the weekend baseball. We have a UCLA has got

202
00:08:57,799 --> 00:09:00,240
the quarterback of their dreams now if they went got

203
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:03,840
to the portal, Yes, got it. I think I don't

204
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:05,600
even pronounce his name Bright and I probably should be.

205
00:09:05,919 --> 00:09:07,559
We'll be talking about him over the course of the year.

206
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:11,840
But the form that sounds good former Tennessee quarterback Now

207
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,200
UCLA will get to that as well, And we have

208
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:16,200

00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:27,799

So don't for that, Okay, thank you. I don't get random,

only night. Yeah, yeah, okay. Was he on his death bed?

217
00:09:36,639 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, he had been fighting I want to say, pneumonia

218
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:40,840
for quite some time, respiratory issues.

219
00:09:42,519 --> 00:09:45,840
Speaker 1: Okay, So may he rest well of course? Yeah, I

223
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:59,159
one percent lie. Name a pope loved Legos. I'm gonna

224
00:09:59,159 --> 00:10:01,159
go John Paul this second was a big fan of

225
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:02,120
Legos back in the day.

226
00:10:02,519 --> 00:10:05,159
Speaker 2: Seven one three, two, one two, five seven nintie seven

00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:07,679

228
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:09,279
the phone numbers if you want to chime in today

229
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:12,480
all things about the Rockets lost the Padres Astros series

230
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:15,159
on the weekend, and you it's seven one three two

231
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:18,879
one two five seven NINTI in tremendous spirits, especially the

232
00:10:18,879 --> 00:10:19,600
first four minutes.

233
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 1: That was fun. Uh.

234
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:25,840
Speaker 2: There were a lot of Curry jerseys there, but it

235
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,759
didn't feel like they drowned out the those that were

236
00:10:28,799 --> 00:10:29,799
pro Rockets.

237
00:10:30,159 --> 00:10:32,639
Speaker 1: Yes, it's always early on.

238
00:10:33,159 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 2: There was a lot of Warriors fans, but you know,

239
00:10:35,159 --> 00:10:36,960
the visiting team fans always get there earlier.

240
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:38,559
Speaker 1: That's just how it is, right, they want to see

241
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:40,440
their guy yea, and Rockets fans get there late. That's

242
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:41,799
just how it is. H.

243
00:10:41,919 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 2: So, yeah, I'm with you, I thought, uh, especially relative

244
00:10:45,159 --> 00:10:48,840
to earlier in the season. There was some Warriors fans,

245
00:10:48,879 --> 00:10:50,679
but it was minimal and they weren't as loud as

246
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:52,679
they have been in previous times in that building.

247
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:55,559
Speaker 1: And the crowd was great. The energy was good. I mean,

248
00:10:55,799 --> 00:10:56,440
the air kind of.

249
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:58,440
Speaker 2: Came out of the building when the Warriors went on

250
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:00,559
that twenty four to seven run between the first and second.

251
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:03,200
But that's that can happen anywhere, for sure, good sports,

252
00:11:03,279 --> 00:11:05,080
not for Houston. I mean thirty one thousand of the

253
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:08,480
ballpark full reena at the at the Titus Center, last

254
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:11,679
fifty thousand people. Well, I didn't win a game though

255
00:11:12,159 --> 00:11:13,480
nobody won. Nobody won.

256
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:15,840
Speaker 1: That's fine. Could have been better, could have been better.

257
00:11:17,159 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 2: So it was least that they were both on the

258
00:11:19,159 --> 00:11:22,879
same page. Anemic offenses everywhere. Eighty five points for the Rockets,

259
00:11:22,879 --> 00:11:26,480
two runs for the Astros. But I you know, I'm

260
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:28,759
just kind of getting used to two runs for the Astros,

261
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:31,399
although it was a better offensive weekend Friday, good Saturday.

262
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:34,759
Speaker 1: Slightly You boy, Taylor Scott give it up the home

263
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:35,960
run as a game winner.

264
00:11:36,919 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 2: H Yeah, he's not my boy, he didn't he Well,

265
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:41,440
apparently he's a front of the show.

266
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:43,279
Speaker 1: Apparently he hates me. Oh that's true.

267
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 2: Actually, well, he was a big part of the game

268
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:49,879
on Saturday when he held it down for six outs

269
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:52,480
and was able to let the Astros stay in the

270
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:54,080
game and get the victory late there.

271
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:56,879
Speaker 1: But I didn't know he gave it the home run yesterday.

272
00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:58,720
Speaker 2: I had the game on when I was in the arena,

273
00:11:58,759 --> 00:12:00,759
but I wasn't patting close attention.

274
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:01,720
Speaker 1: Somebody went two.

275
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:03,799
Speaker 2: For four with a double in a single yesterday, third

276
00:12:03,879 --> 00:12:06,759
multi hit game in his last five, hitting four forty four,

277
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:09,000
eight for eighteen with two runs, two doubles, and two

278
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:12,039
RBIs in net Span. Somebody had his sixth multi hit

279
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,679
game of the season, and during the series against the Piders,

280
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:17,120
he would five for ten. That person is Would that

281
00:12:17,159 --> 00:12:23,279
be Rake Myers? That's Rake Myers? Feeling pretty good? Fan

282
00:12:23,399 --> 00:12:26,600
club is up, folks, we open. We welcome you all

283
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:28,919
with open arms to the Jake Myers fan clubs. Act

284
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:31,240
know the answer to this go ahead, but I don't

285
00:12:31,279 --> 00:12:34,759
have the exact number. Who's slugging more, Christian Walker or

286
00:12:34,879 --> 00:12:37,879
Jake Myers. Oh, it's got to be well slugging. Jake

287
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:40,679
Myers only has like three doubles. I think, okay, maybe

288
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:42,960
I should say that. Ops, definitely, it's not even going

289
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,399
to be close on that one. Yeah, we Jake Myers

290
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:49,799
because he's drawn a couple of walks too, But slugging

291
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:51,480
is probably still even Jake Myers, but he didn't have

292
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:53,600
any home runs and Walker has a.

293
00:12:53,519 --> 00:12:54,200
Speaker 1: Couple, So.

294
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:59,639
Speaker 2: I mean they're kind of just a good old fashioned

295
00:13:00,039 --> 00:13:03,360
five on our baseball team right now. Yeah, at least

296
00:13:03,399 --> 00:13:05,000
they won in a row for one, and thank you

297
00:13:05,039 --> 00:13:06,960
to the Dodgers for knocking off the Rangers. Two out

298
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:08,559
of three could have been very easily as sweep for

299
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:10,679
the Dodgers and they get to walk off with a

300
00:13:10,759 --> 00:13:12,639
Doulas Garcia. Yeah.

301
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:16,639
Speaker 1: So look, American League West is mid mhm. It's basically

302
00:13:16,639 --> 00:13:19,840
the AMC South of baseball. It's there for the taking. Yeah. So,

303
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:21,759
I mean you wake up in June like you did

304
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:23,000
last year, It's fine. I'm not.

305
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:27,200
Speaker 2: I'm under no panic. Frankly, my my my brain is

306
00:13:27,519 --> 00:13:30,159
focused primarily on basketball. Yeah, I'll be in Baseball Mo

307
00:13:30,279 --> 00:13:32,120
tomorrow doing the Astros pre and posts, but you'll be

308
00:13:32,159 --> 00:13:38,399
doing it tonight. Wonderful, But yeah, I'll really start to

309
00:13:38,879 --> 00:13:40,440
live and die on every move they make. But it

310
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:42,879
was it was enjoyable watching the games on Friday, to

311
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,759
come back on Saturday, and then when you know it

312
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:52,360
was closed yesterday. Robert was good. Luisaur Eyes got hurt. Well,

313
00:13:52,399 --> 00:13:55,120
he really did bad, but apparently he's okay.

314
00:13:55,639 --> 00:13:56,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, thankfully.

315
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:58,159
Speaker 2: I mean, when you have to bring a stretcher on

316
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:00,000
and delay the game as long as they did yesterday,

317
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:01,039
that was really nuts.

318
00:14:01,279 --> 00:14:02,559
Speaker 1: And then they didn't even want to.

319
00:14:02,759 --> 00:14:05,039
Speaker 2: Yeah, the cart they didn't even drive it because they

320
00:14:05,039 --> 00:14:07,320
wanted to make sure they didn't jostle him around. Yeah,

321
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:08,840
and then they were so they were pushing it. That

322
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:11,320
was when it was like, uh, is he okay? I

323
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:12,639
thought it was a problem when they went with a

324
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:15,320
rickshaw or like with a rickshaw, Yeah, rickshaw. I thought

325
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:17,279
when the priest came out and was giving last rites,

326
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:18,440
I thought that was a bad sign.

327
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:23,039
Speaker 1: Yeah, the beads were out. I was like, this is

328
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:26,799
a rosary. He started doing a rosary. Let's talk to

Speaker 1: Can explain this, I guess.

334
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:47,519
Speaker 3: Yeah.

335
00:14:47,519 --> 00:14:50,399
Speaker 5: I can't wait to hear this. I asked, because I

336
00:14:50,399 --> 00:14:53,279
didn't hear my prays right. And I was like that, Jenny,

337
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:57,080
and I didn't. I didn't pronounciate my own words whenever

338
00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:58,919
he said, and it sounded the same. I said, okay,

339
00:14:58,919 --> 00:15:00,759
and I just go down that and know what you know,

340
00:15:01,279 --> 00:15:04,600
funny does sound like how many men in your life.

341
00:15:04,639 --> 00:15:06,720
Do you know by the name of Jenny, I'm gonna

342
00:15:06,759 --> 00:15:08,720
go zero. You know, maybe it was a nickname.

343
00:15:08,759 --> 00:15:10,480
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know. Oh, okay, so you

344
00:15:10,519 --> 00:15:10,720
know what.

345
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 2: Guess what, Jill, You're on the and I just kidd

346
00:15:13,639 --> 00:15:14,600
Jimmy what you got today?

347
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:15,639
Speaker 6: Man?

348
00:15:15,879 --> 00:15:17,279
Speaker 1: I listened to your takes.

349
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:20,559
Speaker 7: Man, real good. I'm telling you, I'm feeling I'm feeling

350
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:25,720
good about the Rockets. Reason being, uh Jalen, Uh you

351
00:15:25,799 --> 00:15:29,480
had Aimon, you know, Jabbari. All these guys first game,

352
00:15:29,559 --> 00:15:30,960
first time in the playoffs.

353
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:32,519
Speaker 1: Think they'll come back.

354
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:36,399
Speaker 7: I cannot see Fred being that bad again. Ever, I

355
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:39,440
think he'll be good. But you know, I'm just curious

356
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:42,159
to know. You know, Holiday's been thirty nine point eight

357
00:15:42,159 --> 00:15:44,639
percent on the three pointers this year. I would have

358
00:15:44,799 --> 00:15:48,360
loved to see him in there, possibly in place of

359
00:15:48,519 --> 00:15:50,279
Uh when when he had Jay on the push, but

360
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:51,679
Holiday in there, put.

361
00:15:51,559 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 1: Him in there in place with Man. Let's see if

362
00:15:53,279 --> 00:15:53,639
we can get a.

363
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 7: Few more shots, a few more three pointers going in

364
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:59,120
for us. But all in all, guys came back, we

365
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:01,799
were in and in the fourth quarter. I think we'll

366
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:03,840
be finding this series. And I'd love to see some

367
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:05,240
Tait in there as well.

368
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:07,679
Speaker 1: Oh Tat's hurt, so that won't be happening for a while.

369
00:16:07,759 --> 00:16:09,080
Oh okay, I didn't know.

370
00:16:09,279 --> 00:16:09,840
Speaker 3: I didn't know that.

371
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 1: I didn't know it.

372
00:16:10,759 --> 00:16:14,279
Speaker 7: I really do think the way we were rebounding that ball, man,

373
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:17,559
I think we can impose our wheel on these guys.

374
00:16:17,879 --> 00:16:19,879
Speaker 1: You know, Steph is who he is.

375
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:22,879
Speaker 3: I think the jitters are gone now.

376
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:26,559
Speaker 7: I think the Rockets will be durned fine man in

377
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:28,639
this playoff series. I sure hope so, because I'll be

378
00:16:28,679 --> 00:16:29,960
at the ball game on win today.

379
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 2: All right, thank you, Jimmy. Tell Jenny we sent our best.

380
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:36,399
We appreciate the phone call, all right. First of all,

381
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:40,039
playoff rotations tighten up doesn't mean that you can't go

382
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:41,840
to a ninth or tenth guy if you need to,

383
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:45,039
especially if someone is hurt or someone is really struggling

384
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:49,120
or foul trouble. But generally speaking, your playoff rotations are

385
00:16:49,159 --> 00:16:50,879
eight or nine guys. I know on Golden statement with

386
00:16:50,919 --> 00:16:53,039
ten yesterday, but the last two guys just were minimal.

387
00:16:54,399 --> 00:16:59,919
I don't really see the Rockets going Aaron Holiday, say,

388
00:17:00,159 --> 00:17:00,720
was our bacon?

389
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:01,679
Speaker 1: Now?

390
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 2: If Jalen struggles out of the get go again. Remember

391
00:17:04,559 --> 00:17:07,160
Jalen has had really rough go he's had. I think

392
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:09,240
they've played now six times this year. He's had one

393
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:14,000
good game against Golden stated of the six. You need

394
00:17:14,039 --> 00:17:16,359
some perimeter work. I al, somebody's gonna call, but I'm

395
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:18,440
sure we'll call for it, whether or not. Cam witmogans

396
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:19,720
to the mix as well. I got one of those

397
00:17:19,799 --> 00:17:25,000
last night, same kind of thing. I would it would

398
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:29,240
have to be were the guys slumped as bad as

399
00:17:29,279 --> 00:17:31,400
they did, like in the second quarter last night, in

400
00:17:31,519 --> 00:17:33,680
order for he made to kind of shift up of

401
00:17:33,759 --> 00:17:36,440
what he thinks is their hiss most important guys. Yeah,

402
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:38,119
I think a couple of things. First of all, I

403
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:40,519
don't think we're gonna see Kim Witmore at all. Aaron Holliday.

404
00:17:40,519 --> 00:17:43,400
Maybe is a possibility, but coach you Dooka clearly has

405
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:46,359
shown he doesn't trust Cam Whitmore to do the right things,

406
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:50,319
to not just play for himself and to rather than

407
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:50,720
the team.

408
00:17:50,799 --> 00:17:52,319
Speaker 1: So I don't think we're seeing Cam Whitmore.

409
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:55,920
Speaker 2: Aaron Holliday, I honestly would be open to because when

410
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:58,039
they went on that bad run where they only scored

411
00:17:58,039 --> 00:18:01,039
seven points over however many minutes, it was the guys

412
00:18:01,039 --> 00:18:01,640
on the floor.

413
00:18:01,759 --> 00:18:03,359
Speaker 1: There's just no one that was off. You go to

414
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:05,319
that big lineup and it's fun. But when it's Steven

415
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:08,920
Adams and Shinoon and Jabbarsmith Junior and the paint is

416
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:10,880
getting mucked up, you need somebody. You need some shooting

417
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:12,200
out there. And I mean.

418
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:14,440
Speaker 2: Thompson was on the floor as well, So you're talking

419
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:16,640
about three guys on the floor who are non shooters.

420
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:18,240
So if you want to stretch in space a little

421
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:21,079
bit with Aaron Holliday, who is not a lockdown defender,

422
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:22,759
but it can at least you put him in there

423
00:18:22,759 --> 00:18:25,559
for five minutes a half or something like that and

424
00:18:25,559 --> 00:18:28,440
get him to make two three threes. I don't think

425
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:29,960
that's the worst thing in the world, because they are

426
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:33,160
definitely lacking scoring punch off the bench. Yeah, I would

427
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:35,359
agree with you that the bench does not have a

428
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:38,680
perimeter guy. Easan and Smith are not known as perimeter guys.

429
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:41,640
They combined well, Tario went oh for four. Tari's gonna

430
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:43,279
do his most of his damage like you did a

431
00:18:43,279 --> 00:18:46,200
couple times yesterday with the steels mid court. His aggressives

432
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:47,880
on the defensive end that turns into points on the

433
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:50,000
offensive side. You've got to make those open corner threes.

434
00:18:50,039 --> 00:18:51,559
He got a couple of them, and well he went

435
00:18:51,559 --> 00:18:54,079
over four. Yeah, And I think if you're Golden State,

436
00:18:54,079 --> 00:18:56,079
you're gonna continue to live and die by that. You'll

437
00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:59,400
you'll allow. Frankly, if I'm Golden State, I have zoned

438
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:01,960
the Rockets to in game two, I just would say,

439
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:04,079
you know what, let's see this three point shot of yours.

440
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:05,759
Uh yeah, I mean I think that would just keep.

441
00:19:05,759 --> 00:19:07,480
And that's where maybe Iron Holliday could come in a

442
00:19:07,519 --> 00:19:08,240
little bit again.

443
00:19:08,599 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 1: Uh I just to me.

444
00:19:12,319 --> 00:19:15,440
Speaker 2: In small doses, Aaron could certainly help out, especially if

445
00:19:15,519 --> 00:19:17,559
your back court has struggled as badly as it did.

446
00:19:17,759 --> 00:19:20,680

Speaker 2: I have one group chat about a person on Twitter

499
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:19,960
who is bemoaning officials mm hm. Officials to me had

500
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:21,119
zero impact on the.

501
00:22:21,079 --> 00:22:23,799
Speaker 1: Game last night. That's not why the Rockets lost this

502
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:24,359
game to me.

503
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:26,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, and maybe he was painted a different picture on

504
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:28,559
the TV broadcast, Matt because we were in the arena.

505
00:22:28,599 --> 00:22:28,880
Speaker 1: I don't know.

506
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:30,680
Speaker 2: Somebody can let us know if they just thought that

507
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:34,720
the officials were jobbing the Rockets. There were some misscalls,

508
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:36,240
but I thought for the most part it was missed

509
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:39,720
both ways. Rockets were allowed to be extremely.

510
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:41,319
Speaker 1: Physical with the Golden State Warriors or fowls were called

511
00:22:41,319 --> 00:22:42,519
on Golden saything were against us.

512
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:44,839
Speaker 2: They were mugging Steph Curry a lot of times that

513
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:47,880
they quite frankly on screens. They were clutching, holding and

514
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:51,079
grabbing and getting away with a lot. I thought there

515
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:53,160
was a time or two where Steph Curry wasn't allowed

516
00:22:53,279 --> 00:22:55,359
a place to land and there was no foul called.

517
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:57,400
I thought he was slapped on the wrist on some

518
00:22:58,039 --> 00:23:01,079
shots and no fowls were called, and some calls were missed.

519
00:23:01,079 --> 00:23:03,559
The Rocket's way, for sure, but I didn't think this

520
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:05,880
was Oh my god, the rests are giving the Rockets

521
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:06,720
a zero chance.

522
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:09,240
Speaker 1: They went six of twenty nine from three. That's why

523
00:23:09,279 --> 00:23:09,759
they lost.

524
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:13,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, it's sometimes it just comes down to elementary.

525
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:16,519
My dear Britt, wasn't my dear Betsy, no Watts and

526
00:23:16,599 --> 00:23:20,920
deer Watson. Yeah, that's that's maybe that's in man, that's

527
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:24,599
the metrosexual version of that elementary My dear Watson.

528
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:27,279
Speaker 1: It's you know, you hit shots, it's just it comes

529
00:23:27,319 --> 00:23:29,680
out of a ma or miss lead. Yeah, especially in

530
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:30,279
the playoffs.

531
00:23:30,319 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 2: Really, you don't get half points for hitting the back

532
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:33,680
of the board in the backboard, you don't get it.

533
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:37,079
You don't get a cause a credit. You should got

534
00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:41,079
a group three going about one of a friend of

535
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:44,920
mine's boss being completely tone deaf. All right, so I

536
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:52,160
hate to hear about that friend. I have a tweet

537
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:54,680
sent to me of a late night TV show and

538
00:23:56,279 --> 00:23:59,119
I can't read that one. It's n but I can't see.

539
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:02,640
This is this group thing I can't do because it's

540
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:06,119
really rude. In my group chats, I would say pound

541
00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:09,400
for powder the rudists in America. Okay, Like, can you

542
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:11,119
how many sweet group chats are you in?

543
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:14,359
Speaker 1: Sweet? Like nice ones? My family group chats? You should do.

544
00:24:14,519 --> 00:24:16,640
Speaker 2: We we did a happy we should start one. We

545
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:18,480
should start a group chat where you can only say

546
00:24:18,599 --> 00:24:19,160
nice things.

547
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:22,519
Speaker 1: I don't want any part of that. You need some

548
00:24:22,519 --> 00:24:25,759
positivity in your life, Matt you're too petty, too much

549
00:24:25,759 --> 00:24:29,359
of a hater. I don't know. Can we get you

550
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:31,839
a little sunshine? I'm worried about you. I don't know.

551
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:33,519
I found first of all, I can't even get you

552
00:24:33,559 --> 00:24:39,359
to go on vacation. I know. I just I live

553
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:40,880
for these group chats because I want to see if

554
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:42,519
people have as much you know what in vinegar as

555
00:24:42,519 --> 00:24:42,720
I do.

556
00:24:42,759 --> 00:24:45,200
Speaker 2: And the answer is the worst though. Oh there's no

557
00:24:45,279 --> 00:24:51,680
there's no question about you in one another. Yeah, let's see. Oh,

558
00:24:51,759 --> 00:24:54,160
there's a lot of there's a Fred van Vliet hate run.

559
00:24:56,319 --> 00:25:00,400
He is not doing so hot on Rockets Twitter. Neither

560
00:25:00,519 --> 00:25:06,400
is the alprin Shingouniacs versus the Jalen Greenies them.

561
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:08,759
Speaker 1: They're in a full on war right now on Rockets Twitter.

562
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:11,920
Speaker 2: At love Puddles's in our group chat, we went through

563
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:14,039
players from our high school B team that would have

564
00:25:14,079 --> 00:25:17,960
been better than Fred Harden. Oh God, that's terrible. Oh

565
00:25:18,039 --> 00:25:20,759
they're calling Fred van Vliet Fred Harden. I guess that's terrible.

566
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:23,119
I mean two for thirteen is kind of a James

567
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:23,680
Harden line.

568
00:25:23,839 --> 00:25:25,519
Speaker 1: That's enough. How's it's happened?

569
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 2: Yels comes saying says one of eleven in that twenty

570
00:25:29,039 --> 00:25:30,640
seventeen horrible game against the Spurs.

571
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:32,119
Speaker 1: A lot of puddles coming through todays.

572
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:32,279
Speaker 12: Is.

573
00:25:32,279 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 2: When I saw the smoke coming out of the chimney

574
00:25:34,039 --> 00:25:36,400
in Italy yesterday, I knew the reason injury was bad

575
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:41,519
m What a great cross reference from what's happening at

576
00:25:41,519 --> 00:25:44,079
the Vatican to what's happening at dyke In Park.

577
00:25:46,519 --> 00:25:48,960
Speaker 1: And Pope Francis all right, not forgot.

578
00:25:49,079 --> 00:25:51,440
Speaker 2: If you're willing to let us know what's in your

579
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:53,880
group chat, we would like to hear it, because again

580
00:25:54,279 --> 00:25:56,400
you probably have to protect the names of the of

581
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:57,839
those that are in the group chat, as I've had

582
00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:00,880
to do. It's a sense of schoma. I'm just saying

583
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:04,960
it was. It was just a tough night for anybody

584
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:06,960
that was looking forward to getting I mean people in

585
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:09,039
the arena, people wore the T shirts and that the

586
00:26:09,079 --> 00:26:11,440
arena was had a nice buzz to it, and then

587
00:26:11,839 --> 00:26:14,839
first five minutes were really fun and then just could

588
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:16,680
not hold out of the basketball in the second quarter.

589
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:20,880
That second quarter they got outscored twenty nine to thirteen. Yeah,

590
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:23,240
but a lot of those turnoffs were it was. I mean,

591
00:26:23,799 --> 00:26:26,400
it wasn't because like the Warriors were doing these playing

592
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:28,279
great defense and stuff like that. It was just because

593
00:26:28,279 --> 00:26:31,480
the offense was too disorganized. They were too They're just

594
00:26:31,559 --> 00:26:36,680
lacking in direction and they weren't being aggressive. Everybody's just

595
00:26:36,759 --> 00:26:38,400
kind of standing around and then they would just go

596
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:39,960
kind of go to the basket and there'd be three

597
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:40,839
people that are like, oh.

598
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:42,599
Speaker 1: Here, you take the ball. It was just it was

599
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:43,440
bad offense.

600
00:26:44,599 --> 00:26:46,839
Speaker 2: Well, I'm going to choose because my glasses half full,

601
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:48,720
especially when it comes to that basketball team that I

602
00:26:48,759 --> 00:26:52,079
love to call, I'm going to choose. That is to men,

603
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:54,160
Thompson is going to grow up quite a bit from

604
00:26:54,319 --> 00:26:56,720
last night to what he'll play in his second playoff game.

605
00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:00,720
I'll say the same thing about Jalen Green. Yeah yeah, oh,

606
00:27:00,799 --> 00:27:02,720
Jailer Green definitely has to be better Aman Thompson. I

607
00:27:02,759 --> 00:27:05,359
don't know what's going to be there for him offensively.

608
00:27:05,799 --> 00:27:07,160
He needs to be found on some of more of

609
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:10,279
those basket cuts. And that's just I mean, that's basketball.

610
00:27:10,319 --> 00:27:12,240
It is what it is. And I would say, honestly,

611
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:16,240
Ross be more physical with Curry, continue the double team,

612
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:18,880
force the I mean again, you don't want him to

613
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:20,359
go to the free throw line because he's a ninety

614
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:24,519
percent free throw shooter, but at least makes him passing

615
00:27:24,599 --> 00:27:28,119
lens difficult because as awesome as Steph is, he will

616
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:31,680
turn the ball over like a mother m hm. He

617
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:33,839
can be as lack of diasical with taking care of

618
00:27:33,839 --> 00:27:36,440
the basketball as anybody else in the NBA. And another

619
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:38,079
thing Jalen Green has to be better at is he

620
00:27:38,079 --> 00:27:40,680
has to be better at. When they were hunting, they

621
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:43,279
were hunting Steph Curry. They were finding him on switches

622
00:27:43,319 --> 00:27:46,440
against Jalen Green one on one in space and credit

623
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:48,039
to Steph Curry, he held his own. He did a

624
00:27:48,039 --> 00:27:50,759
great job defensively. But Jalen Green, you got to get

625
00:27:50,759 --> 00:27:52,559
by Steph Curry. You got to figure it out in

626
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:57,480
out dribbles, fakes, whatever, and you can't get locked up

627
00:27:57,480 --> 00:27:58,079
by Steph Curry.

628
00:27:58,079 --> 00:27:59,839
Speaker 1: If you're Jalen Green, you just cannot. In this series

629
00:27:59,839 --> 00:28:00,839
is not going to go your way.

630
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:05,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, you should be able to score against uh, against Steph.

631
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:05,880
Speaker 1: Yeah.

632
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:07,960
Speaker 2: Now do you want to go monol model. I don't

633
00:28:08,079 --> 00:28:11,599
think you have to do that, but no, you cannot.

634
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:14,119
Speaker 1: Uh, you can't.

635
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:16,759
Speaker 2: You can't hunt the guy in the nuts scroll right,

636
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:19,599
come on now, especially if you get inside five feet

637
00:28:19,599 --> 00:28:20,960
of him and when he when you put him in

638
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:23,279
the paint, he's useless. Yeah, but he was doing a

639
00:28:23,319 --> 00:28:25,400
good job on the perimeter at a number of times, So.

640
00:28:25,559 --> 00:28:26,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, get him inside of there.

641
00:28:27,039 --> 00:28:28,839
Speaker 2: And then again, I talked about this on the pregame

642
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:31,480
show yesterday. I still think you have to figure out somehow,

643
00:28:31,519 --> 00:28:34,079
some way to keep Jimmy Butler outside of about seventeen

644
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:36,319
feet because inside it's pretty damn good. It's hard because

645
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:38,480
he's so crafty, he's so good with the I mean,

646
00:28:38,519 --> 00:28:40,519
how many shots did he make when there's people draped

647
00:28:40,559 --> 00:28:44,559
all over him? He's freaking good man, Isn't it crazy?

648
00:28:44,759 --> 00:28:49,279
Jimmy Butler had this terrible stigma attached to him because

649
00:28:49,319 --> 00:28:52,000
he got sideways in Miami, he got syeways in Philadelphia,

650
00:28:52,039 --> 00:28:54,519
got sighways in Chicago, got I mean everywhere he's gone.

651
00:28:54,559 --> 00:28:58,160
He is eventually one on his welcome he goes to

652
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:00,359
Golden State, and I mean they he could run mayor

653
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:02,359
of San Francisco the way he's playing right now, because

654
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:05,960
he's legitimately the second score that Andrew Wiggins couldn't be

655
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:09,519
for the Golden State Warriors. Yeah, there's a honeymoon period

656
00:29:09,559 --> 00:29:11,200
right now, and then when he's in the playoffs, that's

657
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:15,640
when he really shines. Twenty five points, seven rebound, six assists,

658
00:29:15,799 --> 00:29:18,799
five steals, Matthew five steals.

659
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:20,680
Speaker 1: I got news for you, and you're gonna be mad

660
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:23,240
at me, but it's too bad. Okay, I'm mad at you.

661
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:25,359
You're tipping man me anyway. Oh, I know what you're

662
00:29:25,359 --> 00:29:28,599
gonna say. Whatever, it's a semantics thing. It is a

663
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:29,359
semantics thing.

664
00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:35,440
Speaker 2: You have to win Game two, Rossie, I do not

665
00:29:35,519 --> 00:29:38,119
want to go on a plane on Friday. Nobody does

666
00:29:38,519 --> 00:29:44,359
two with two games in that building. Okay, you say

667
00:29:44,359 --> 00:29:47,559
it with me. No, come on, nope, I sort of

668
00:29:47,559 --> 00:29:48,279
got to make you feel.

669
00:29:48,359 --> 00:29:52,319
Speaker 1: No, it won't. It'll make me more nervous. Actually, well

670
00:29:52,359 --> 00:29:55,319
I should be. You should be nervous. Yeah yeah, your

671
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:58,039
down on one two scheme went at home like that.

672
00:29:58,200 --> 00:29:58,359
Speaker 13: Man.

673
00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:03,599
Speaker 1: You can't shoot six to twenty nine three, so bad.

674
00:30:03,759 --> 00:30:06,480
Game two must win okay, Oh feels good.

675
00:30:06,759 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 2: Game two very important for the Rockets, very important, of

676
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:15,839
the utmost importance. I think I must win is easier

677
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:18,039
on a T shirt than a game of upmost importance.

678
00:30:18,519 --> 00:30:20,839
Speaker 1: Okay, well, I'm not making t shirts. If you're putting

679
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:21,440
them up, let me know.

680
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:23,319
Speaker 2: I'll give you one of mine. I got some extra

681
00:30:23,319 --> 00:30:25,039
T shirts. Yeah, I'm gonna print win for you. Every

682
00:30:25,039 --> 00:30:27,359
game is a must win game. That's what happens if

683
00:30:27,359 --> 00:30:29,000
you ask the players. Yeah, Game one must win game,

684
00:30:29,039 --> 00:30:29,720
they all have that.

685
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:32,759
Speaker 1: Yeah. Game two, must win game, gotta have it. Game three,

686
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:34,920
must win game. It's the playoffs. Oh you know, if

687
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:36,920
you know that, they're gonna be saying in La, the

688
00:30:37,039 --> 00:30:40,359
Minnesota won nothing in that series. Two must win game

689
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:41,079
for the Lakers.

690
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:41,799
Speaker 6: I like it.

691
00:30:42,319 --> 00:30:45,400
Speaker 2: I like how you think seven one three two one

692
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:50,759
two five seven nine seven one three two one two

693
00:30:51,559 --> 00:30:56,640
five seven ninety. Let's talk to Biscuit at ten forty

694
00:30:56,720 --> 00:31:00,240
one here on the on my software. Thank you for much.

695
00:31:00,279 --> 00:31:03,200
Speaker 1: I appreciate you. Hello, Biscuit, you're on seven in good morning.

696
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:08,599
Speaker 14: More thing my brothers a Ross Matt. One of the

697
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:11,880
things that kind of goes under the radar with the Rockets,

698
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:15,960
And I don't know, Ross, you agree with me. They're

699
00:31:16,039 --> 00:31:20,319
not one of the better ball handling teams. And what's

700
00:31:20,359 --> 00:31:24,559
happening is people are saying, well, they don't have finishers. Yeah,

701
00:31:24,599 --> 00:31:27,559
but the problem is they're getting into their place too

702
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:30,240
late in the shot clock, and so you only have

703
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:33,599
one or two things you can do because it's you know,

704
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:37,759
nine ten seconds left and what Golden State is doing

705
00:31:37,799 --> 00:31:40,680
a Jalen because that's not his really natural position. But

706
00:31:40,839 --> 00:31:45,000
now he's the de facto main guy handling the ball.

707
00:31:45,119 --> 00:31:47,799
They pressuring him, they up on him, they pressing and

708
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,759
pressing him, and they you know, next thing, you know,

709
00:31:50,799 --> 00:31:52,759
you got turnovers on the premier here to go and

710
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:54,960
Golden State is the best in the league in transition.

711
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:59,599
And so but it's I say all that to say this, Matt,

712
00:32:00,079 --> 00:32:02,759
it's growing pains. Go Look back at Go to State

713
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:05,519
when Steph Curry the man their first time in the playoffs.

714
00:32:05,519 --> 00:32:09,039
See how they did. Go look at Shaye Gilbers when

715
00:32:09,039 --> 00:32:11,519
he was with ok SEE and they first run around

716
00:32:11,559 --> 00:32:14,880
in the playoffs. It's growing pains, man. You know, it's

717
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:17,119
just something that you have to do. You can't there's

718
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:19,920
no shortcuts, you can't go. You gotta go through it.

719
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:23,559
And so game, yeah, game Wednesday night is gonna be

720
00:32:24,039 --> 00:32:26,000
a must win game, and it's gonna be interesting to

721
00:32:26,039 --> 00:32:29,480
see how Jalen responds. In particular. It's not just Dalen,

722
00:32:29,519 --> 00:32:33,160
but I'm just using an example of you have an

723
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:37,079
offensive football and if the quarterback is the guy that

724
00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:39,039
is FORPOSD to initiate to all, it matters now that

725
00:32:39,079 --> 00:32:40,519
the receivers down feel are open.

726
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:43,680
Speaker 15: The guy that's initiated, the guy who has the ball

727
00:32:43,759 --> 00:32:46,519
in his hands, he has to be precise, he has

728
00:32:46,599 --> 00:32:48,920
to be on time, he has to have good passes

729
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:51,839
to get everybody in rhythm. And when that's not happening,

730
00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:55,519
you're gonna have some run droughts where you don't score.

731
00:32:56,519 --> 00:32:58,240
And that's the only thing I would say is but

732
00:32:58,359 --> 00:33:01,599
it's growing pains. Man, I'm not met.

733
00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:05,839
Speaker 14: I don't think KD being added to this roster makes

734
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:10,039
them the winner of the NBA Championship. I just don't.

735
00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:12,160
It's just got to be more growth with the guys

736
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:15,440
you got and then maybe added KD. But you about

737
00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:18,920
two years down the line for me, for you talking

738
00:33:19,039 --> 00:33:22,720
serious championship caliber team, and you know, and so let's

739
00:33:23,039 --> 00:33:25,799
let's pump the breaks. Let's let's let's see how Jalen responds.

740
00:33:26,319 --> 00:33:26,880
Let's see how.

741
00:33:28,599 --> 00:33:30,079
Speaker 1: Yeah, people should be popping the breaks.

742
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 2: I mean, if you're not, if you're everybody's indicting him

743
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:35,559
for the series loss after one game, that's foolish.

744
00:33:35,559 --> 00:33:36,640
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody's doing that.

745
00:33:37,319 --> 00:33:41,559
Speaker 2: You just I mean, I think there are some people

746
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:43,759
that want to see Jalen take the next step in

747
00:33:43,839 --> 00:33:45,759
his NBA career, And I think when you're in a

748
00:33:45,759 --> 00:33:48,359
playoff series, you are defined by what you do, and

749
00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:51,039
especially against a team that you have struggled with mightily

750
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:54,200
that the struggles continued. So, uh, those that are not

751
00:33:54,279 --> 00:33:56,599
the biggest Jalen Green factor fans out there are going

752
00:33:56,640 --> 00:33:59,559
to say, Hey, this is we expected this, We're not

753
00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:03,160
surprise this, and we can't get to the next level

754
00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:05,920
unless somebody else is the second is the main go

755
00:34:06,039 --> 00:34:06,440
to score?

756
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:08,519
Speaker 1: The number one thing I kept seeing all weekend long

757
00:34:08,519 --> 00:34:10,119
we can get to a break is who's the go

758
00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:12,679
to guy? Maybe can out?

759
00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:16,320
Speaker 2: Is it too easy for us to define alpurn is

760
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:17,679
the go to guy because it felt like every time

761
00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:19,400
they went to him last night Ross he came through

762
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:19,719
for him.

763
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:21,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's the go to guys.

764
00:34:21,639 --> 00:34:23,639
Speaker 2: Is matchup depending when you're in a seven game series,

765
00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:25,960
it's guess what, it's the same matchup for seven games.

766
00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:28,760
And in this matchup, absolutely alprin Schremun is the go

767
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:29,199
to guy.

768
00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:31,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right? Seven one three two one two five

769
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:35,199

You can't, you can't. It can't be missed out by?

779
00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:03,039
Then leave, will you? You've made it sound like you

780
00:35:03,079 --> 00:35:05,440
had other thing pressing issues A little No, you're always

781
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:07,360
a part. You don't care what you talk about. Okay,

782
00:35:07,639 --> 00:35:09,000
what do you got? What do you I mean? Oh,

783
00:35:09,119 --> 00:35:11,760
let's talk about your boy going to UCLA? Do you

784
00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:12,800
really want to do college?

785
00:35:13,039 --> 00:35:13,199
Speaker 16: Well?

786
00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:15,440
Speaker 1: Just really quick, okay, First of all, say his name again,

787
00:35:15,519 --> 00:35:19,639
Niko Yamaliava. Okay, I'm gonna just give that up. So

788
00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:21,639
do we know how much UCLA? He again?

789
00:35:21,639 --> 00:35:24,159
Speaker 2: For those who don't know, uh, he was making two

790
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:27,239
at Tennessee one and four Tennessee told him to shut

791
00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:29,760
their bumb mass up, his bumb mass up. Then he

792
00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:32,159
puts his name out there and all these colleges around

793
00:35:32,199 --> 00:35:33,719
the country. He said, yeah, we'll talk to you, but

794
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:35,519
we're gonna wait till the dollar amount goes down. We

795
00:35:35,599 --> 00:35:37,360
know what a dollar amount at UCLA he's getting.

796
00:35:37,599 --> 00:35:39,239
Speaker 17: First off, it was two and a half a year

797
00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:41,599
at testsee, because it was gonna be ten million over

798
00:35:41,679 --> 00:35:45,360
four years if he played all four years. Okay, so yeah,

799
00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:48,199
the report is it's between one and two million. He's

800
00:35:48,199 --> 00:35:51,719
a CLA and for Los Angeles that's more like three

801
00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:52,599
hundred thousands.

802
00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:53,800
Speaker 1: With Texas, Oh.

803
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:56,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, yep, he's definitely going. He took the loss on

804
00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:58,880
that and he's not playing nearly as good of a conference.

805
00:35:59,159 --> 00:36:01,960
Speaker 17: Yeah, I mean, the big tent's good, but it's so

806
00:36:02,039 --> 00:36:04,159
I think Clay Travis said he hit the trifecta. He

807
00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:09,119
got less money, less talent, less, less better team, and

808
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:14,480
less better coaching. Like he downgraded everything less better coaching, yes, better,

809
00:36:14,639 --> 00:36:17,320
Uh you know what I mean, Like he downgraded across

810
00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:21,079
the board worse, worse, worse and worse.

811
00:36:22,599 --> 00:36:27,480
Speaker 1: Yuma. And you know the story with the brother, right,

812
00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:30,159
it's it's easier to say hurry Villa Chase.

813
00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:34,119
Speaker 17: His younger brother, whose name is Madden, like John Madden,

814
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:39,159
he was committed to u C l A on signing

815
00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:42,840
day last year or this past December, flipped on signing

816
00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:45,599
day to Arkansas. So the brother left them at the

817
00:36:45,639 --> 00:36:49,559
altar and now the older brothers coming to play for them.

818
00:36:50,199 --> 00:36:50,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's fine.

819
00:36:52,119 --> 00:36:55,199
Speaker 2: This is he might be the poster boy, but this

820
00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:56,880
feels like to me, boys, it's gonna just gonna be

821
00:36:56,880 --> 00:37:00,400
a one off. Most kids leaving that are that kind

822
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:02,519
of elk. First of all, I'm not going to make

823
00:37:02,519 --> 00:37:04,599
their demands public. They're just going to privately get more

824
00:37:04,639 --> 00:37:05,280
money elsewhere.

825
00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:07,239
Speaker 1: Did you see the bad news for the Kougs over

826
00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:11,239
the weekend. There couldn't be any possibly bad news. Starting

827
00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:16,239
corner and starting safety both into the portal. That's fine. Whatever,

828
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:21,920
come on, Willie Fritz. All Connor Wingman did was just

829
00:37:22,039 --> 00:37:25,920
throw touchdown after touchdowns to touchdown again too. His team.

830
00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:29,480
Oh it was the Red White Gamer, Black, red Gamer Red. Okay,

831
00:37:29,519 --> 00:37:31,000
So you just turn up that secondary and they just

832
00:37:31,079 --> 00:37:32,039
had people transfer out.

833
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:32,760
Speaker 3: It's fine.

834
00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:35,559
Speaker 2: Hey, we're known for fifty eight to fifty four games.

835
00:37:35,599 --> 00:37:38,960
By the way, Astors. You worked Astros over the weekend? Yes,

836
00:37:39,039 --> 00:37:42,360
I did, Yes, And they look good Friday inside. I

837
00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:44,320
mean they look good yesterday. We got a good Fromberg

838
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:47,760
last night. Gave him a chance six innings to run ball.

839
00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:51,840
They just the timely hitting still is not It's not

840
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:54,840
all the way there. But do you know the jose

841
00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:56,480
L Twova is batting three to zero two. He is

842
00:37:56,559 --> 00:37:59,320
no longer the Astro's leading hitter of batting average. You

843
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:01,360
know who it is, Jake Myers. It is Jake the

844
00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:02,159
Rake Myers.

845
00:38:03,119 --> 00:38:06,679
Speaker 1: WHOA. Now there's no slug but at least he's jes

846
00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:08,920
the ninth was supposed to be your ninth place sitter.

847
00:38:09,039 --> 00:38:12,440
Speaker 17: He has several multi hit games this season. Guys, we're

848
00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:14,360
not gonna have two or three hit games. We're not

849
00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:16,119
gonna have Cam Smith batt ninth all year, are we?

850
00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:16,400
Speaker 13: No?

851
00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:20,519
Speaker 1: I mean you talk about how about this? He better not? Yeah,

852
00:38:20,599 --> 00:38:22,559
that's right, that's right. But that's fine. He had the

853
00:38:22,599 --> 00:38:24,559
two home runs on Friday. That was outstanding.

854
00:38:24,679 --> 00:38:26,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was great. Yeah, you know what he'll be.

855
00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:28,960
He's gonna be just fine. He's just having to learn

856
00:38:29,199 --> 00:38:31,719
on the job. And look, everybody does that. We we

857
00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:35,519
if sometimes you get jobs before you're training qualified. And

858
00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:37,599
that's Cam Smith right now.

859
00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:38,360
Speaker 1: There was a ball.

860
00:38:38,519 --> 00:38:41,320
Speaker 17: Well, he made one great play last night, running on

861
00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:45,320
the run, arm outstretched. So that was a good defensive play.

862
00:38:45,599 --> 00:38:48,320
But he had one that was the ball was ripped

863
00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:50,800
right down the line and it went right back into

864
00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:53,000
that corner, and he didn't know how to play it

865
00:38:53,159 --> 00:38:55,320
just yet. He was like, oh it's is it gonna

866
00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:57,039
hit the wall? Oh no, it went all the way.

867
00:38:56,880 --> 00:38:57,480
Speaker 1: To the back wall.

868
00:38:57,559 --> 00:38:59,480
Speaker 2: And this is this is a mood conversation a couple

869
00:38:59,519 --> 00:39:01,440
of years. He's a athlete. He'll be just fine. He's

870
00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:02,960
gonna be fine, all right. So what I was looking

871
00:39:03,079 --> 00:39:06,519
forward to, honestly on the Astros was the how did

872
00:39:06,599 --> 00:39:10,440
Lance mccullors like hanging out with his bros in Midland? Okay,

873
00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:18,239
there was just one problem. Stomach flu Yeah, got the poops.

874
00:39:20,079 --> 00:39:22,719
Didn't go to Midland? Yeah, I got a stomach pudg.

875
00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:25,400
He apparently he had an ivy and everything. Hopefully he's okay.

876
00:39:25,599 --> 00:39:27,760
Speaker 1: Would you call that a setback? Did you have a

877
00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:28,239
set back?

878
00:39:28,679 --> 00:39:28,719
Speaker 12: No?

879
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:31,800
Speaker 1: Setback for Lance mccullor's junior, it's a little stomach. What's

880
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:34,079
what's my gut feeling on his major leaguers? I think

881
00:39:34,119 --> 00:39:36,159
you had his arm fault enough. Yeah, you had Gang

882
00:39:36,159 --> 00:39:38,079
Green in his arm by now, it's not even true.

883
00:39:38,159 --> 00:39:40,199
That's not nice. But any hope of him. You said

884
00:39:40,199 --> 00:39:42,199
he's going to the bullpen, which is not supposed to

885
00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:44,480
be joining them in Kansas City this weekend. I think

886
00:39:44,559 --> 00:39:49,400
that's no. It sounds like that Dana said was probably

887
00:39:50,119 --> 00:39:52,639
because Gusta has been doing well, So you're okay there?

888
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:56,400
Speaker 2: Hey, I mean, honestly, boys with a bunch of no

889
00:39:56,599 --> 00:39:59,360
name or lievers and spot starters.

890
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:01,079
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm.

891
00:40:02,559 --> 00:40:04,679
Speaker 1: I don't have the an agree and I'm not watching

892
00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:07,519
every pitch living a life or death with it.

893
00:40:07,639 --> 00:40:11,039
Speaker 2: But to me, hanging around five hundred, as we're trying

894
00:40:11,039 --> 00:40:13,159
to figure out these waters that are murky in terms

895
00:40:13,199 --> 00:40:16,280
of replacing Bregmann and replacing and putting a new left

896
00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:18,039
fielder and a new right fielder out there, I mean,

897
00:40:18,119 --> 00:40:21,320
Paradis has defended his position. Well this things could be

898
00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:22,360
a lot worse than they are, right.

899
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:22,639
Speaker 4: Yeah.

900
00:40:22,639 --> 00:40:24,599
Speaker 17: I saw somebody tweeting out over the weekend about, oh,

901
00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:26,719
do you see what Kyle Tucker is doing. He is

902
00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:29,920
crushing three batting three hundred, it's six home runs for

903
00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:32,480
the Cubs. But look at what Paradis has given you

904
00:40:32,559 --> 00:40:34,360
so far, Look at what Cam Smith has given you

905
00:40:34,679 --> 00:40:37,320
Hayden was Nesci five innings of two runball on Saturday

906
00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:40,039
gets you know, they get the win. Like the trade

907
00:40:40,119 --> 00:40:42,159
is an even trade. Right now, we can gush all

908
00:40:42,239 --> 00:40:44,440
we one over Tucker, but the trade has worked out so.

909
00:40:44,519 --> 00:40:46,199
Speaker 2: Far it's going to be one trade because you still

910
00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:48,719
have Wesnski under control Paradis as well, and then obviously

911
00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:49,800
Cam Smith's.

912
00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:50,480
Speaker 1: Under control for several years.

913
00:40:50,519 --> 00:40:52,559
Speaker 2: In theory, the only way the Astros lose the trade

914
00:40:52,599 --> 00:40:55,039
is if Kyle Tucker signed the long term extension. They

915
00:40:55,079 --> 00:40:56,880
still don't lose because they weren't gonna do that anyways.

916
00:40:57,760 --> 00:41:00,800
But I mean, you you really start so the Cubs

917
00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:03,199
win this rate. The Astros can't lose it with with

918
00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:05,280
what's going on. No, because Kyle Tucker was no way,

919
00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:06,880
no chance to know how going to be here after

920
00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:07,920
twenty twenty five.

921
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:09,960
Speaker 1: Well, they could get in on them again if if

922
00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:10,800
they want, if he's free.

923
00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:13,239
Speaker 2: It's true, Okay, you're spending way too much time on

924
00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:16,280
Astros Twitter. You know you should be spending time on

925
00:41:16,679 --> 00:41:19,400
and we got the Astros and the Toronto Blue Jays

926
00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:21,400
in for a three game series starting. But it's nice,

927
00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:23,519
by the way. It's see some American League competition. Where's

928
00:41:23,519 --> 00:41:25,320
all this National League crap we're seeing so far?

929
00:41:25,519 --> 00:41:28,199
Speaker 17: Yeah, Steve Sports brought up they'd seen the Mets. I

930
00:41:28,239 --> 00:41:29,559
mean it was like all the best teams in the

931
00:41:29,679 --> 00:41:31,639
NL you've played outside of the Dodgers so far.

932
00:41:31,679 --> 00:41:34,519
Speaker 2: Yeah, Cardinals and Giants so far. Getting out of that

933
00:41:34,559 --> 00:41:35,760
taken care of him, by the way. He shot out

934
00:41:35,760 --> 00:41:37,960
again to the Dodgers, beating the Rangers two out of three.

935
00:41:38,079 --> 00:41:41,320
So Astros gained a little bit of ground on Texas

936
00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:42,239
in the America League West.

937
00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:47,079
Speaker 1: It is eleven o one on Sports Talk seven ninety.

turn that off immediately. You want support.

946
00:42:11,039 --> 00:42:13,119
Speaker 2: On what happened last night at the main event, I

947
00:42:13,199 --> 00:42:14,800
don't know should you give people a warning?

948
00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:16,559
Speaker 1: Well, I didn't see it. All I can tell is

949
00:42:16,599 --> 00:42:19,880
I saw the video highlight. Okay, Uh read about in

950
00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:23,760
the papers on the evening, on the in the dirt sheets.

951
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:29,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what, Uh, let's screw it. If you

952
00:42:29,199 --> 00:42:31,599
don't want to know what happened, and it happened yesterday.

953
00:42:31,599 --> 00:42:33,199
If you don't know by now, you just don't remember.

954
00:42:33,199 --> 00:42:37,519
Speaker 1: Gonna know. Three two one, John Cena is the new

955
00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:42,199
wwhim my gosh, unbelievable. I didn't think he could do it.

956
00:42:43,119 --> 00:42:45,599
Speaker 2: The other script apparently Travis Scott came in and helped

957
00:42:45,599 --> 00:42:48,079
interfere in the Travis Scott again, Yeah, why.

958
00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:51,719
Speaker 1: Did he go trample somebody?

959
00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:55,480
Speaker 2: So universally Travis Scott is hated by anybody that's a

960
00:42:55,519 --> 00:42:57,000
wrestling fan for being involved.

961
00:42:57,079 --> 00:43:00,639
Speaker 1: Oh really, so what segment, what part of the population

962
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:03,639
did did? Does does w W go?

963
00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:04,000
Speaker 18: You know what?

964
00:43:04,079 --> 00:43:06,440
Speaker 1: We need to add a Travis Scott because Travis Scott,

965
00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:09,559
let's face it, it's been a tumultuous last couple of years.

966
00:43:09,559 --> 00:43:12,840
The whole Astra World situation was bad. Over there. Tell

967
00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:15,719
me what what he brings to the table. Obviously there's

968
00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:19,320
something I don't know.

969
00:43:19,400 --> 00:43:21,800
Speaker 2: He's very well known and famous, but he is a

970
00:43:21,880 --> 00:43:24,880
controversial figure. I mean, George Clooney is very well known

971
00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:26,480
and famous. It didn't bring him out. I don't think

972
00:43:26,519 --> 00:43:28,480
he's gonna be showing up at w W. Maybe I

973
00:43:28,559 --> 00:43:30,440
mean Travis Scott, I imagine is he a big w

974
00:43:30,679 --> 00:43:35,800
WE fan? Wants to be involved? Couldn't tell you, Wellcott,

975
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:36,960
I want to I want to be in the w

976
00:43:37,199 --> 00:43:39,599
W and being involved on you know, and then't ask me.

977
00:43:42,199 --> 00:43:42,239
Speaker 12: So.

978
00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:45,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, johnsena who had not been in a major wrestling

979
00:43:46,239 --> 00:43:47,079
match in years?

980
00:43:47,480 --> 00:43:47,760
Speaker 1: Why not?

981
00:43:47,840 --> 00:43:50,000
Speaker 2: What's he because he's been acting in acting? Yeah, I

982
00:43:50,039 --> 00:43:51,639
think he's very funny. He's gonna be He's gonna have

983
00:43:51,639 --> 00:43:54,239
a nice career when it's all said and done. Uh

984
00:43:54,280 --> 00:43:56,239
when it comes to acting, didn't he get mixed up

985
00:43:56,280 --> 00:43:59,000
in some controversy with China and Taiwan. He had to

986
00:43:59,039 --> 00:44:00,960
like apologize to the pull of China or something like that.

987
00:44:01,480 --> 00:44:03,599
These are things that I don't even know, Okay, I

988
00:44:03,719 --> 00:44:04,920
just know that he hooked up with one of the

989
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:07,400
Bella twins and that was that's a great conquest on

990
00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:07,800
his story.

991
00:44:07,880 --> 00:44:08,079
Speaker 4: Friend?

992
00:44:08,119 --> 00:44:10,280
Speaker 1: Oh, was he married? He's married now? Not to not

993
00:44:10,639 --> 00:44:14,559
to her? Oare's Nicki and uh Bree and he was

994
00:44:14,599 --> 00:44:16,000
hanging out with Nikki. That's the one. She got the

995
00:44:16,079 --> 00:44:19,920
work done on her breast. She's more ample than Bree.

996
00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:20,280
Speaker 4: Isn't that?

997
00:44:21,159 --> 00:44:23,559
Speaker 2: Isn't that dangerous to be a wrestler and to have well,

998
00:44:23,599 --> 00:44:26,239
they even wrestled in a while, didn't didn't the wrestler

999
00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:29,920
have something popped before? It seems dangerous? Yeah, China, way

1000
00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:32,480
back in the day made she rest she's dead. Her

1001
00:44:32,559 --> 00:44:35,840
finishing move was called the rack attack. Are you serious?

1002
00:44:36,159 --> 00:44:37,000
Could I make that up?

1003
00:44:37,039 --> 00:44:37,840
Speaker 1: Yeah? Of course I could.

1004
00:44:37,880 --> 00:44:40,920
Speaker 2: A rack attack? Yeah, but why didn't suffocate you with

1005
00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:46,039
her breast? It wound up hurting her back. This is

1006
00:44:46,079 --> 00:44:47,960
going to conclude wrestling conversation for the day.

1007
00:44:48,360 --> 00:44:50,519
Speaker 1: She's out there slipping a disc with the rack attack.

1008
00:44:51,239 --> 00:44:53,199
I think it's a great name for a finishing move.

1009
00:44:53,599 --> 00:45:00,079
Oh my god. All right, And it was like please, no, oh,

1010
00:45:00,320 --> 00:45:01,719
don't give me the rack attack.

1011
00:45:02,159 --> 00:45:12,000
Speaker 2: This is the worst. I mean, you are accurate. You

1012
00:45:12,039 --> 00:45:13,519
don't once you get once you get hit by the

1013
00:45:13,559 --> 00:45:14,800
rock attack, you don't get up from that.

1014
00:45:15,039 --> 00:45:17,159
Speaker 1: I don't know. Apparently Travis Scott has been pushing for this.

1015
00:45:19,559 --> 00:45:21,480
The rock did not make an appearance yesterday.

1016
00:45:22,880 --> 00:45:25,440
Speaker 2: I just put why is Traviscott and WWE and Google

1017
00:45:25,519 --> 00:45:27,320
and one of them says there was entirely too much.

1018
00:45:27,400 --> 00:45:31,199
Travis Scott at WrestleMania. Yeah, I mean, what did George

1019
00:45:31,199 --> 00:45:32,880
Strake called Triple A and said, hey, I want to

1020
00:45:32,920 --> 00:45:37,199
be involved in this? Not he would say it was

1021
00:45:37,239 --> 00:45:39,400
his last match and then he'd do five more. Hey,

1022
00:45:39,599 --> 00:45:43,119
that's not nice, guys, phone up major stadiums. He is,

1023
00:45:43,239 --> 00:45:45,280
he said, you cutting that? Check him out of retirement.

1024
00:45:45,519 --> 00:45:48,360
We should really in all honesty in sports and an

1025
00:45:48,440 --> 00:45:50,719
entertainment and when someone says they're going to retire, just

1026
00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:51,599
don't believe them.

1027
00:45:52,159 --> 00:45:52,519
Speaker 1: I don't.

1028
00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:54,920
Speaker 2: I mean when I grew up, sugar Y Leanter was

1029
00:45:54,960 --> 00:45:57,159
retiring every other day, and he came back a bunch

1030
00:45:57,199 --> 00:46:02,480
of different times. We've seen Elton John do a multitude

1031
00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:05,000
of reunion tours and come back, and same thing with

1032
00:46:05,239 --> 00:46:08,039
Cher and Paul Simon's currently on tour game, which I

1033
00:46:08,079 --> 00:46:09,639
don't know how because you and I went a few

1034
00:46:09,679 --> 00:46:10,599
years ago and we were.

1035
00:46:10,519 --> 00:46:14,519
Speaker 1: Like, Jesus, how is he still alive? And they putting

1036
00:46:14,559 --> 00:46:16,599
him in a shipping container? Howmet getting him out there?

1037
00:46:17,159 --> 00:46:20,079
He even move? I guess he was so popular.

1038
00:46:20,159 --> 00:46:23,519
Speaker 2: On the fiftieth edition of the scient Live Anniversary, they said,

1039
00:46:23,519 --> 00:46:25,360
you know, let's go on a fifteen or twenty city tour.

1040
00:46:26,280 --> 00:46:27,119
Speaker 1: Okay, good for him?

1041
00:46:27,320 --> 00:46:31,719
Speaker 2: Yeah all right, so yeah, John Cena, congratulations, is now

1042
00:46:31,760 --> 00:46:36,320
the new WWE champion. One of the planting Cody Roads. Unbelievable,

1043
00:46:36,920 --> 00:46:42,679
a passing of the baton. This is like Ali beating Frasier.

1044
00:46:43,199 --> 00:46:45,840
It's funny because Cameron, my oldest who's still a huge

1045
00:46:45,880 --> 00:46:48,199
wrestling fans. Like I said, you know what's going on.

1046
00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:49,960
I saw him at halftime in the game. Last thing

1047
00:46:49,960 --> 00:46:52,920
he is, No, I got my phone on mute. Let

1048
00:46:52,960 --> 00:46:55,440
me tell you what a sacrifice that is to tell

1049
00:46:55,480 --> 00:46:57,840
a twenty four year old young man not to look

1050
00:46:57,880 --> 00:47:01,239
at his phone for multiple hours. Not because he's focused

1051
00:47:01,280 --> 00:47:04,079
on the game in front of him, not because he

1052
00:47:04,320 --> 00:47:07,719
is at church or spending time with his family. It's

1053
00:47:07,760 --> 00:47:10,119
because he doesn't want to see the results of WrestleMania.

1054
00:47:11,880 --> 00:47:14,400
There's there's today generation in a nutshell right there.

1055
00:47:14,920 --> 00:47:20,920
Speaker 1: Good for him? Bite you talking this show. Good for you.

1056
00:47:21,280 --> 00:47:24,679
Speaker 2: You've learned seven one three two one two five seven.

1057
00:47:25,199 --> 00:47:27,719
The Rockets last night fall ninety five to eighty five

1058
00:47:27,800 --> 00:47:28,920
to the Golden State Warriors.

1059
00:47:28,960 --> 00:47:30,559
Speaker 1: Golden State is up one game to none.

1060
00:47:30,920 --> 00:47:33,800
Speaker 2: Steph Curry last night thirty one points twenty five from

1061
00:47:33,920 --> 00:47:34,480
Jimmy Butner.

1062
00:47:34,639 --> 00:47:37,280
Speaker 1: You know, we talked about this on Friday. You stop

1063
00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:40,639
those two guys, you win. Well, you just couldn't stop them,

1064
00:47:40,760 --> 00:47:42,400
no Smith.

1065
00:47:42,480 --> 00:47:45,480
Speaker 2: I mean they combined for fifty six of their in

1066
00:47:45,599 --> 00:47:48,719
ninety five points. We also talked about in playoff games,

1067
00:47:48,760 --> 00:47:51,119
the difference can often be it's like, you know what,

1068
00:47:51,440 --> 00:47:53,880
we did everything we could. That guy was just too good.

1069
00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:56,800
He rows above it. And we said the Rockets are

1070
00:47:56,880 --> 00:47:59,760
really lacking in somebody like that. Yeah, and the Warriors

1071
00:47:59,800 --> 00:48:02,920
have two like that and they did it both in

1072
00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:05,599
the same game. Jimmy Butler was knocking down tough shots.

1073
00:48:05,639 --> 00:48:07,599
He was great, and then Steph Curry was just I

1074
00:48:07,719 --> 00:48:10,400
mean it was vintage Steph Curry. Knock At some of

1075
00:48:10,400 --> 00:48:12,400
those shots that he was knocking down, it was ridiculous.

1076
00:48:12,559 --> 00:48:15,679
O'pring was awesome last night, eleven of eighteen, twenty six points,

1077
00:48:15,800 --> 00:48:19,440
nine rebounds, and assist, three steals. He just had one

1078
00:48:19,599 --> 00:48:22,599
problem as well as in much of the team turnovers,

1079
00:48:22,960 --> 00:48:26,079
especially clogging up the low block, putting the ball on

1080
00:48:26,159 --> 00:48:29,920
the floor, losing the ball. Five turnovers for him. The

1081
00:48:30,119 --> 00:48:33,039
Rockets last night had seventeen in Golden State to their credit,

1082
00:48:33,480 --> 00:48:35,760
leak out on those turnovers. Gary Payton got a couple

1083
00:48:35,760 --> 00:48:37,760
of layoffs off of them, and they turned him into

1084
00:48:37,840 --> 00:48:42,599
twenty five Warrior points last night. Yeah, turnovers turning into

1085
00:48:42,679 --> 00:48:46,360
transition points and miss threes that's and miss free throws.

1086
00:48:47,119 --> 00:48:49,320
Speaker 1: All of that why the Rockets lost last night.

1087
00:48:49,360 --> 00:48:50,679
Speaker 2: And I wish I don't know we had the comment

1088
00:48:50,719 --> 00:48:52,880
from Draymond Green, but he basically, I'm paraphrasing here of

1089
00:48:52,920 --> 00:48:54,480
this a little bit. He says, Look, the best part

1090
00:48:54,480 --> 00:48:57,320
of the Rockets offense is their offensive rebounding. It's almost

1091
00:48:57,400 --> 00:49:00,480
like they regathered themselves a little bit for taking that

1092
00:49:00,559 --> 00:49:01,159
initial shot.

1093
00:49:01,440 --> 00:49:03,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was the best part last night. I mean,

1094
00:49:03,440 --> 00:49:05,800
it can be better if they just knocked down some shots. Please,

1095
00:49:05,880 --> 00:49:09,559
Let's knock some shots down, baby, Yeah, big minutes, let's go.

1096
00:49:10,159 --> 00:49:12,760
Speaker 2: Let's talk to Dwayne and El Paso at eleven o

1097
00:49:12,840 --> 00:49:14,599
eight on seven. I think Dwayne, thanks for holding in.

1098
00:49:14,679 --> 00:49:17,119
Speaker 14: Good morning, Good morning, guys.

1099
00:49:17,360 --> 00:49:22,519
Speaker 19: I got a question for y'all. This year Anthony Edwards

1100
00:49:23,280 --> 00:49:27,199
and Jalen Brunson. There was one other player that were

1101
00:49:27,360 --> 00:49:31,280
voted as clutch Players of the Year. But my question

1102
00:49:31,599 --> 00:49:36,440
is the Rockets and the Cleveland Cavaliers both played the

1103
00:49:36,559 --> 00:49:40,920
most clutched games in the NBA this year, and there's

1104
00:49:41,039 --> 00:49:45,480
not one on the list of clutch players as far

1105
00:49:45,559 --> 00:49:49,360
as the Houston Rockets are concerned. And at least eight

1106
00:49:49,480 --> 00:49:53,639
of those Houston Rockets players were in every one of

1107
00:49:53,719 --> 00:49:57,559
those clutch games that they played this year. Who does

1108
00:49:57,679 --> 00:49:58,480
the voting on.

1109
00:49:58,559 --> 00:50:02,719
Speaker 1: This thing, man, I don't know. I've never heard of

1110
00:50:02,800 --> 00:50:05,119
clutch Player of the Y. No, it's not a vote.

1111
00:50:05,159 --> 00:50:07,400
There's got to be some sort of metric that's attached

1112
00:50:07,400 --> 00:50:10,480
to it. And if it is a vote by human beings,

1113
00:50:11,199 --> 00:50:14,320
I've never heard of it. It's not really recognized by

1114
00:50:14,360 --> 00:50:18,960
the NBA. It feels like that's just silly fodder.

1115
00:50:19,039 --> 00:50:23,519
Speaker 2: I mean, I honestly, Dwayne, I couldn't care less who

1116
00:50:23,679 --> 00:50:26,000
was a clutch player or not. I watched the NBA,

1117
00:50:26,199 --> 00:50:28,599
I watched my team, I watch other games. I know

1118
00:50:28,679 --> 00:50:32,119
who's clutch and who's not. And last night Steph Curry

1119
00:50:32,119 --> 00:50:34,440
and Jimmy Butler were the two most clutch players on

1120
00:50:34,519 --> 00:50:35,280
the floor last night for.

1121
00:50:35,280 --> 00:50:40,639
Speaker 1: Their respective team. Right, Okay, yeah, thank you, Dawanne, appreciate it.

1122
00:50:41,400 --> 00:50:43,760
I have no idea what that is. Is this a

1123
00:50:43,840 --> 00:50:44,400
real award?

1124
00:50:44,599 --> 00:50:48,480
Speaker 2: Jerry West Trophy NBA Clutch Player of the year Dearon

1125
00:50:48,559 --> 00:50:49,800
Fox won it in twenty three.

1126
00:50:50,800 --> 00:50:52,719
Speaker 1: I had never heard Steph Curry won it last year.

1127
00:50:53,440 --> 00:50:55,519
I think they just started it when Dearon Fox won it.

1128
00:50:55,760 --> 00:50:57,559
I never heard of that. I think it came out

1129
00:50:57,559 --> 00:51:01,039
when I was in college, like twenty one, which play three. Yeah,

1130
00:51:01,239 --> 00:51:02,960
twenty three was the first time it was handed out.

1131
00:51:02,960 --> 00:51:05,280
Speaker 2: I mean, don't doesn't Golden State play more clutch five

1132
00:51:05,360 --> 00:51:07,840
points or less games than five minutes left the gold Games?

1133
00:51:07,880 --> 00:51:09,280
Speaker 1: Anybody else in the NBA? Probably?

1134
00:51:09,480 --> 00:51:15,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, I don't know if I put I mean,

1135
00:51:15,800 --> 00:51:17,400
that's a nice award, But do I put it on

1136
00:51:17,480 --> 00:51:21,159
the Mantlepie like six man cool All NBA team?

1137
00:51:21,280 --> 00:51:22,360
Speaker 1: Yeah? All defensive?

1138
00:51:22,360 --> 00:51:25,719
Speaker 2: I mean yeah, your finalists are Jalen Brunson, Anthony Edwards,

1139
00:51:25,760 --> 00:51:29,360
and Nikola Jokic this year, all with three to me

1140
00:51:29,480 --> 00:51:30,760
would be guys that I would go to in the

1141
00:51:30,800 --> 00:51:33,079
fourth quarter one a basketball game for me, probably Jokic

1142
00:51:33,159 --> 00:51:36,320
probably over the other two. Although Anthony Edwards was really

1143
00:51:36,320 --> 00:51:38,280
good Saturday night for the Minnesota Timberwolves.

1144
00:51:38,320 --> 00:51:40,639
Speaker 1: They beat it, they beat up Luca did great.

1145
00:51:41,000 --> 00:51:46,159
Speaker 2: But Lebron and I don't like this, Okay, I don't

1146
00:51:46,159 --> 00:51:48,320
say it's very often about Lebron he did look his

1147
00:51:48,440 --> 00:51:50,039
age yesterday or on Saturday night.

1148
00:51:50,239 --> 00:51:52,599
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's forty years old. I mean he's ever been

1149
00:51:52,639 --> 00:51:53,039
of forty.

1150
00:51:53,280 --> 00:51:56,320
Speaker 2: And that's why when the Mavericks, when the Lakers made

1151
00:51:56,360 --> 00:51:58,760
the move, they necessarily have to dial up Lebron' say, man,

1152
00:51:58,800 --> 00:52:01,280
do you mind if Luka comes over here? Guys, you know,

1153
00:52:01,840 --> 00:52:04,320
fifteen years younger than you are, and it's a free

1154
00:52:04,400 --> 00:52:06,760
tuer franchise player this team, and we love and appreciate

1155
00:52:06,800 --> 00:52:09,199
what you've done, but we need somebody to be the

1156
00:52:09,360 --> 00:52:11,480
the alpha dog, and I think Lucas gonna be that

1157
00:52:11,599 --> 00:52:11,880
for them.

1158
00:52:12,079 --> 00:52:15,760
Speaker 1: He will when they need to get a better team

1159
00:52:15,800 --> 00:52:20,239
around them. Yeah, not good defensively. I think Minnesota's gonna

1160
00:52:20,239 --> 00:52:22,360
score in them all series. Yeah, I mean I wouldn't

1161
00:52:22,360 --> 00:52:24,880
be surprised Minnesota wins that series. Really, I think they will.

1162
00:52:25,639 --> 00:52:28,320
I'm kicking myself because I wanted to get into that series.

1163
00:52:28,400 --> 00:52:31,280
Speaker 2: Price by the way, you know you there is a

1164
00:52:31,360 --> 00:52:32,920
contest out there, and I was thinking about this for

1165
00:52:32,960 --> 00:52:37,159
a second. I don't think the odds are good, but

1166
00:52:37,320 --> 00:52:40,800
could you see someone getting every bracket right, every you know,

1167
00:52:40,920 --> 00:52:43,679
perfect bracket. They're give only a million dollars in that really?

1168
00:52:44,320 --> 00:52:44,440
Speaker 13: Uh?

1169
00:52:45,320 --> 00:52:47,239
Speaker 1: It feels like it's a lot easier in the NBA.

1170
00:52:47,360 --> 00:52:48,119
I don't know what the oddos.

1171
00:52:48,639 --> 00:52:52,079
Speaker 2: There's only sixteen teams competing, it's compared to sixty eight. Yeah,

1172
00:52:52,119 --> 00:52:54,440
and then there's a gammey He's like, oh, hopefully Oklahoma

1173
00:52:54,519 --> 00:52:58,320
City boom done. Gimme, Well, you've got you've got the gimmes.

1174
00:52:58,519 --> 00:53:00,760
You've got probably two gimmes in the many, maybe even

1175
00:53:00,920 --> 00:53:03,840
as many as three. And then then you have to

1176
00:53:03,920 --> 00:53:08,280
start like, if let's say Minnesota plays the Rockets, that

1177
00:53:08,400 --> 00:53:10,760
wouldn't be a gimme on either side. If Minnesota plays

1178
00:53:10,800 --> 00:53:13,360
the Golden State Warriors, that wouldn't necessarily be a gimme

1179
00:53:13,440 --> 00:53:13,800
on it either.

1180
00:53:13,840 --> 00:53:18,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I could see no one getting it right.

1181
00:53:18,039 --> 00:53:20,360
Speaker 2: But at least it feels like you've got a puncher chance,

1182
00:53:20,440 --> 00:53:22,559
especially because first of all, you've only got sixteen teams

1183
00:53:22,559 --> 00:53:24,320
competing in it, and second of all, you have to

1184
00:53:24,400 --> 00:53:26,079
win a game a best of seven.

1185
00:53:26,239 --> 00:53:28,079
Speaker 1: Usually the best team wins out of a best of seven.

1186
00:53:28,239 --> 00:53:28,400
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1187
00:53:29,800 --> 00:53:34,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, the college one is impossible. Impossible, It's impossible, all right.

1188
00:53:34,920 --> 00:53:37,320
Speaker 2: Eleven thirteen on Sports Talk seven or eight, It's The

1189
00:53:37,360 --> 00:53:39,239
Man Thomas Show with Ross We've got to tell the truth.

1190
00:53:39,320 --> 00:53:40,400
Coming up with the botom of the hour. I have

1191
00:53:40,480 --> 00:53:44,280
four takes, Ross, I believe three of them. Okay, one.

1192
00:53:44,559 --> 00:53:47,440
I do not believe you believe. This is getting harder

1193
00:53:47,440 --> 00:53:49,840
and harder by the way. I know it's a tough segment.

1194
00:53:49,920 --> 00:53:52,880
Whenever you're out, I'm like, dang, no, but I gotta

1195
00:53:52,920 --> 00:53:54,639
do it today. Sometimes when around I just skip it.

1196
00:53:54,960 --> 00:53:55,119
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1197
00:53:55,199 --> 00:53:57,280
Speaker 1: No, you skip a lot of segments. Did you NFLR

1198
00:53:57,400 --> 00:53:58,159
win last Tuesday?

1199
00:53:58,519 --> 00:53:58,639
Speaker 8: Uh?

1200
00:53:59,039 --> 00:53:59,280
Speaker 3: Yep.

1201
00:54:00,079 --> 00:54:02,000
Speaker 1: I don't believe that for you. This was great. I

1202
00:54:02,039 --> 00:54:03,599
don't think so at all. It's fantastic.

1203
00:54:03,679 --> 00:54:03,800
Speaker 12: Man.

1204
00:54:03,840 --> 00:54:06,679
Speaker 1: It was one for the ages. Quite frankly, you know,

1205
00:54:06,719 --> 00:54:08,039
I'm gonna go air check it. See how good.

1206

You may do that as well.

1218
00:54:36,800 --> 00:54:40,440
Speaker 2: It's at Sports MT and at Sports RV. The Red

1219
00:54:40,519 --> 00:54:43,239
Sox are playing there, I think called what they called

1220
00:54:43,239 --> 00:54:45,360
the Patriots Day Game. I think it's four to one

1221
00:54:45,599 --> 00:54:47,639
already in the bottom of the fourth.

1222
00:54:49,679 --> 00:54:51,440
Speaker 1: What can we do something like that here? Wouldn't that

1223
00:54:51,440 --> 00:54:53,599
be fun to have like a game at like eleven

1224
00:54:53,679 --> 00:54:56,079
o five local time? I think that'd be fantastic.

1225
00:54:57,199 --> 00:55:00,400
Speaker 2: I know how you're thinking, but I do and I

1226
00:55:00,480 --> 00:55:03,159
have there's no we have no dog on the fight

1227
00:55:03,239 --> 00:55:06,559
in this because it's the it's it's a New England holiday.

1228
00:55:06,679 --> 00:55:10,599
Speaker 1: No let's go white socks. Oh, I see what you're saying.

1229
00:55:10,599 --> 00:55:13,559
But you know what I'm saying. I mean, we don't

1230
00:55:13,639 --> 00:55:15,199
have it like a do we have a special like

1231
00:55:15,280 --> 00:55:17,480
you know, like when we were kids who go texting day?

1232
00:55:17,480 --> 00:55:20,400
You used to get the day off from school? Uh No,

1233
00:55:20,519 --> 00:55:22,239
ioul didn't get the day off from school. Oh we

1234
00:55:22,320 --> 00:55:24,239
did all the time. You'd have to wear your cowboy hat.

1235
00:55:25,000 --> 00:55:25,199
Speaker 14: Yeah.

1236
00:55:25,239 --> 00:55:26,000
Speaker 3: Matter of fact, I think we got.

1237
00:55:26,039 --> 00:55:28,639
Speaker 2: We got day off for Katie f f a rodeo day.

1238
00:55:28,880 --> 00:55:32,320
You get some square pizza and some chocolate milk and you.

1239
00:55:32,360 --> 00:55:34,400
Speaker 1: Have a good day. Big role in those Big East rolls.

1240
00:55:35,480 --> 00:55:40,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just I want I want a strange start

1241
00:55:40,559 --> 00:55:42,679
time for one game, like you know, like a kid's day,

1242
00:55:43,639 --> 00:55:47,400
eleven o five, first pitch like the Cubs. Yeah no,

1243
00:55:47,599 --> 00:55:50,159
that's all you know because I always played they play. Yeah,

1244
00:55:50,840 --> 00:55:53,559
feel like just this bad Boy started two hours ago

1245
00:55:54,679 --> 00:55:57,639
in uh Inaster. Yeah, but it's still eleven o five

1246
00:55:57,679 --> 00:56:01,239
on a Monday. Seems really random. Yeah, what do you

1247
00:56:01,320 --> 00:56:02,159
think of a definitive?

1248
00:56:02,199 --> 00:56:04,199
Speaker 1: Like what kind of you know, they're always a rocket,

1249
00:56:04,199 --> 00:56:05,920
the Astros, always trying to think of new things to do.

1250
00:56:06,159 --> 00:56:08,880
That's true. Promotions, Yeah, but they want people in the building.

1251
00:56:10,199 --> 00:56:14,320
If you schedule something like June twelfth, yeah, you'd have

1252
00:56:14,360 --> 00:56:17,760
to do it, durn I get you win, School's out. Yeah, okay,

1253
00:56:17,800 --> 00:56:20,400
what would it be? I don't know, Brunch with the Astros.

1254
00:56:20,400 --> 00:56:22,239
I don't know, brunch tros.

1255
00:56:22,400 --> 00:56:22,840
Speaker 4: I like that.

1256
00:56:23,119 --> 00:56:24,880
Speaker 1: What I really figure something out? Go get hammered on

1257
00:56:24,960 --> 00:56:26,480
some mimosas we could do the.

1258
00:56:26,480 --> 00:56:28,800
Speaker 2: Pregame show out there you got then you naugo sit

1259
00:56:28,840 --> 00:56:30,760
out in the Crawford boxes watch the game out.

1260
00:56:30,679 --> 00:56:32,519
Speaker 1: Yeah, thrown up by the six inning, let's go.

1261
00:56:32,880 --> 00:56:34,599
Speaker 2: I don't think we need to vomit. I mean I

1262
00:56:34,639 --> 00:56:38,119
guess would be part of the core if Yeah. Unfortunately,

1263
00:56:38,719 --> 00:56:41,440
all right U seven one three two one two seventy.

1264
00:56:41,519 --> 00:56:45,400
So we will say go White Sox. Go White Socks.

1265
00:56:45,480 --> 00:56:46,880
By the way, tough of the White Sox. They have

1266
00:56:46,960 --> 00:56:49,320
to travel into Boston to play an early game like that,

1267
00:56:52,480 --> 00:56:54,880
Manfred said, your chobumass up and get in there. Yeah,

1268
00:56:55,000 --> 00:56:55,639
White Sox.

1269
00:56:55,719 --> 00:56:57,199
Speaker 1: By the way, have you been watching any of the

1270
00:56:57,719 --> 00:57:01,480
Rays games in Tampa? I man, they they're trying, not really,

1271
00:57:01,760 --> 00:57:03,119
I mean I've seen highlights. Yeah.

1272
00:57:03,480 --> 00:57:06,039
Speaker 2: Man, it looks like it's a raised ballpark. It's small,

1273
00:57:06,199 --> 00:57:11,960
no seats in there. It's the exact dimensions of Yankee Stadium. Yeah, exactly,

1274
00:57:12,039 --> 00:57:13,320
Steinbrandner Field, right right.

1275
00:57:13,480 --> 00:57:14,800
Speaker 1: So now when you go to look and see how

1276
00:57:14,800 --> 00:57:16,559
many home runs this is a ball and how many

1277
00:57:16,599 --> 00:57:18,800
ballparks something was a home run in, it's like it's two.

1278
00:57:19,559 --> 00:57:22,280
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, if you watch the A's, it looks like they're

1279
00:57:22,280 --> 00:57:26,280
playing at a nineteen seventy five softball field and nobody

1280
00:57:26,360 --> 00:57:28,480
seems to care. And it's only going to be like

1281
00:57:28,519 --> 00:57:32,960
one hundred and ten degrees before you know it. Good luck,

1282
00:57:33,000 --> 00:57:38,199
A's get those electrolts up seriously. And I saw this

1283
00:57:38,320 --> 00:57:39,079
on Twitter the other day.

1284
00:57:39,119 --> 00:57:42,400
Speaker 1: Do you think Rob Manford is embarrassed or could give

1285
00:57:42,440 --> 00:57:44,320
too craps about the fact that two of his baseball

1286
00:57:44,360 --> 00:57:46,039
teams are not playing in major league stadiums.

1287
00:57:46,239 --> 00:57:48,840
Speaker 2: I think it's two different situations in a way, like

1288
00:57:48,920 --> 00:57:51,320
the Tampa Bay situation is a bigger mess. At least

1289
00:57:51,400 --> 00:57:52,920
this is just a band aid for the A's are

1290
00:57:52,960 --> 00:57:54,679
going to eventually be in Las Vegas. They should be

1291
00:57:54,719 --> 00:57:57,199
able to be successful. It should be good with sponsorships,

1292
00:57:57,280 --> 00:57:59,400
make the league more money. Tampa Bay, what the hell

1293
00:57:59,519 --> 00:57:59,760
is going on?

1294
00:58:00,000 --> 00:58:02,320
Speaker 1: Were there? They got to figure something out because they

1295
00:58:02,320 --> 00:58:04,719
were gonna build that new stadium. Now they're not. They

1296
00:58:04,760 --> 00:58:06,519
were repairing the old stadium correct or No? Yeah?

1297
00:58:06,519 --> 00:58:08,039
Speaker 2: And by the way, if you want a piece of

1298
00:58:08,199 --> 00:58:11,559
the tarp that covered the stadium, you know, like the

1299
00:58:11,840 --> 00:58:12,480
whatever that what?

1300
00:58:12,880 --> 00:58:15,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, you get a piece. They're selling pieces of that

1301
00:58:15,800 --> 00:58:20,159
nasty tarp fifteen bucks. Hey you want to see that.

1302
00:58:20,280 --> 00:58:22,360
Speaker 2: You're gonna have a piece of the tarp where fifteen

1303
00:58:22,440 --> 00:58:24,840
thousand people watch this play a playoff game and lose.

1304
00:58:26,400 --> 00:58:30,000
Speaker 1: No, yeah, I can't wait to all right, bid on that.

1305
00:58:31,400 --> 00:58:33,599
Speaker 2: Speaking of people wasting their money on pieces of ballparks,

1306
00:58:33,639 --> 00:58:35,760
anybody buy those oranges for a minute.

1307
00:58:35,800 --> 00:58:38,719
Speaker 1: Made you know what? I will take one as a

1308
00:58:38,800 --> 00:58:41,800
June fifth birthday gift. No, it's like it's like one

1309
00:58:41,880 --> 00:58:44,920
piece unless you're gonna have somebody to lop one off.

1310
00:58:45,559 --> 00:58:47,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll take, I'll take. I'll take a part of

1311
00:58:47,599 --> 00:58:51,039
an orange. Huh like those on ones who used to

1312
00:58:51,239 --> 00:58:52,719
buy the Groce serore. What do they call those ones?

1313
00:58:53,000 --> 00:58:57,760
The little miniature mandarans, the tangerines, but they're like the cuties.

1314
00:58:57,880 --> 00:59:03,960
Speaker 1: Cuties. Yeah, I'm taking Cutie. You're really proud of yourself

1315
00:59:03,960 --> 00:59:05,719
for that one. Then, so what I say? I said,

1316
00:59:05,719 --> 00:59:08,840
I'm taking Gunty. You were really proud of that.

1317
00:59:09,239 --> 00:59:09,559
Speaker 14: Terrible.

1318
00:59:10,840 --> 00:59:13,159
Speaker 1: I'm trying to find out what happened with these auctions.

1319
00:59:12,880 --> 00:59:14,960
Speaker 2: Because when when I was growing up, when teams were

1320
00:59:15,000 --> 00:59:19,440
moving around, especially in basketball ross the commissioner Warren look

1321
00:59:19,480 --> 00:59:22,920
at all these teams folding or moving from city to city,

1322
00:59:23,000 --> 00:59:24,920
and it made the commissioners look bad. I mean, do

1323
00:59:25,000 --> 00:59:27,519
you think Rob Manford's like, what could I have done?

1324
00:59:29,039 --> 00:59:31,760
She'd been way more proactive on this situation. All right,

1325
00:59:31,800 --> 00:59:33,599
orange is still for sale. Bit is up to twenty

1326
00:59:33,639 --> 00:59:36,639
eight hundred bucks for how many Look, it's the one

1327
00:59:36,719 --> 00:59:38,480
p It's like a big thing of oranges with the.

1328
00:59:38,519 --> 00:59:45,400
Speaker 1: Ladybug on it twenty eight hundred. Just buy me dinner

1329
00:59:45,519 --> 00:59:48,840
like Charles instead. I'm not buying you anything. I don't

1330
00:59:48,880 --> 00:59:49,519
even know that bad.

1331
00:59:52,280 --> 00:59:55,960
Speaker 2: It's ridiculous, by the way. I've had my software and

1332
00:59:56,039 --> 00:59:57,599
my car updated multiple times.

1333
00:59:57,639 --> 00:59:58,519
Speaker 1: On my screen.

1334
00:59:59,199 --> 01:00:02,400
Speaker 2: I keep waiting, waiting to say dyke in park on oh,

1335
01:00:02,639 --> 01:00:03,760
and it still says ben it made.

1336
01:00:03,880 --> 01:00:04,280
Speaker 13: Hmmm.

1337
01:00:05,639 --> 01:00:08,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's gonna be a problem for you. No, I

1338
01:00:08,400 --> 01:00:10,639
think that's any problem. I know where it is. I

1339
01:00:10,679 --> 01:00:12,360
don't know if you do. But it is kind of

1340
01:00:12,360 --> 01:00:14,559
strange that. I don't know if you've got a nice

1341
01:00:14,639 --> 01:00:15,320
enough car that has this.

1342
01:00:15,440 --> 01:00:17,159
Speaker 2: But we have a big I have a big screen

1343
01:00:17,199 --> 01:00:20,519
that's got like the photos of different downtown buildings, and

1344
01:00:20,679 --> 01:00:22,119
it makes minime look nice.

1345
01:00:22,159 --> 01:00:23,800
Speaker 1: But it's not minime anymore. No, I don't have that.

1346
01:00:23,920 --> 01:00:28,000
I got my eight track really, yeah, I used to

1347
01:00:28,079 --> 01:00:29,679
love the eight tracks. I got some skinner in there,

1348
01:00:29,800 --> 01:00:31,480
some credence. I'll get you, you know, I'll get you

1349
01:00:31,480 --> 01:00:34,320
a cassette tape, and then for your birthday, I'm buy

1350
01:00:34,360 --> 01:00:37,320
you a VCR. Love it. People are buying that stuff.

1351
01:00:37,360 --> 01:00:39,920
You can. You've got a bunch of old vhs VHS

1352
01:00:40,039 --> 01:00:41,159
tapes in the attict sell them.

1353
01:00:42,320 --> 01:00:44,400
Speaker 2: One of my best friends lives in Charlotte's got about

1354
01:00:44,400 --> 01:00:45,639
three thousand DVDs.

1355
01:00:46,239 --> 01:00:49,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, well DVDs aren't hot on the market, but vhs

1356
01:00:49,639 --> 01:00:53,119
is are coming back to do what people get nostalgia.

1357
01:00:53,159 --> 01:00:56,199
People are buying them. Eh CDs too.

1358
01:00:57,280 --> 01:01:00,840
Speaker 2: I would think that I would think the VCR tapes

1359
01:01:00,840 --> 01:01:02,400
would be just cumbersome and hard.

1360
01:01:02,840 --> 01:01:02,960
Speaker 13: Uh.

1361
01:01:03,199 --> 01:01:04,320
Speaker 1: The store away and in.

1362
01:01:04,400 --> 01:01:06,639
Speaker 2: Video games you go find like PlayStation two games at

1363
01:01:06,679 --> 01:01:09,360
like goodwill or something. Our old producer Jacob used to

1364
01:01:09,400 --> 01:01:12,639
do this. He would go and find some some video

1365
01:01:12,719 --> 01:01:14,360
games and then he would flip him on eBay for

1366
01:01:14,360 --> 01:01:15,079
one hundred dollars.

1367
01:01:15,239 --> 01:01:18,079
Speaker 1: Good for him. Yeah, people, who is he actually make

1368
01:01:18,159 --> 01:01:19,440
money doing something? Well?

1369
01:01:19,760 --> 01:01:24,159
Speaker 2: Yes, it's usually crawdaddy farming, but he was doing pretty well.

1370
01:01:24,400 --> 01:01:25,400
He owns a crackling farm.

1371
01:01:25,639 --> 01:01:28,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's go. You don't farm cracklings, man, You don't

1372
01:01:28,119 --> 01:01:30,920
know that, you know, fertilized cracks.

1373
01:01:31,000 --> 01:01:31,239
Speaker 10: You don't know.

1374
01:01:31,400 --> 01:01:33,039
Speaker 2: You know a lot of fans got a big crackling

1375
01:01:33,079 --> 01:01:39,320
farm community. Hi, Bob, you're on seven ninety. Good morning, Bob.

1376
01:01:40,039 --> 01:01:42,360
Speaker 20: Hi, Okay can hear me?

1377
01:01:42,440 --> 01:01:42,719
Speaker 5: Okay?

1378
01:01:43,599 --> 01:01:47,519
Speaker 20: Yes, okay, good Hey I'm a Red Sox fan. I

1379
01:01:47,639 --> 01:01:51,440
know that's my problem. But one thing first, thank you

1380
01:01:51,559 --> 01:01:52,400
for Alex Rereightman.

1381
01:01:52,800 --> 01:01:53,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're welcome.

1382
01:01:55,079 --> 01:01:57,119
Speaker 20: That was a real point of the idea in the beginning.

1383
01:01:57,159 --> 01:01:59,559
You know, they have a pretty good farm.

1384
01:01:59,360 --> 01:02:02,400
Speaker 12: System and had a lot of good prospects, but uh,

1385
01:02:03,000 --> 01:02:04,920
you know, bringing in the guy for that much money,

1386
01:02:05,000 --> 01:02:05,440
they could have.

1387
01:02:06,119 --> 01:02:11,000
Speaker 20: Spent their elsewhere, like when pitching. But anyway, the reason

1388
01:02:11,039 --> 01:02:12,920
I called was I heard you guys talking about the

1389
01:02:13,000 --> 01:02:14,920
Patriots Day game that they're having. I'm there.

1390
01:02:15,159 --> 01:02:15,320
Speaker 13: Yeah.

1391
01:02:15,400 --> 01:02:19,119
Speaker 1: By the way, Patriots Day officially was Saturday. Was the

1392
01:02:19,199 --> 01:02:20,199
marathon yesterday?

1393
01:02:20,280 --> 01:02:20,840
Speaker 6: Is that what it was?

1394
01:02:20,960 --> 01:02:21,239
Speaker 20: Or was it?

1395
01:02:21,519 --> 01:02:21,960
Speaker 1: Is it today?

1396
01:02:23,280 --> 01:02:23,800
Speaker 20: It's today.

1397
01:02:23,920 --> 01:02:26,280
Speaker 12: That's why the game is at eleven o'clock. So the

1398
01:02:26,920 --> 01:02:30,599
idea is that the game's over before the finish of

1399
01:02:30,679 --> 01:02:31,320
the marathon.

1400
01:02:31,480 --> 01:02:32,239
Speaker 1: Okay, I got you.

1401
01:02:33,199 --> 01:02:35,719
Speaker 20: The traffic kind of put things out. That was the

1402
01:02:36,960 --> 01:02:39,679
methods of the madness, but it became an institution when

1403
01:02:39,719 --> 01:02:41,880
I grew up. That was a cool thing to do,

1404
01:02:43,280 --> 01:02:45,599
was to go into Boston and go to the game

1405
01:02:45,679 --> 01:02:48,960
and then get caught up in the craziness of the

1406
01:02:49,000 --> 01:02:49,960
marathon afterwards.

1407
01:02:51,239 --> 01:02:53,320
Speaker 2: Well, thank you, Bob for the phone call. Appreciate information.

1408
01:02:53,400 --> 01:02:55,039
I knew that I knew it was around patriots that

1409
01:02:55,119 --> 01:02:56,880
I didn't know that the marathon was attached to it.

1410
01:02:56,960 --> 01:02:59,400
But yeah, that's maybe we should do with marathon then

1411
01:03:01,199 --> 01:03:04,760
eleven O five Astros versus whomever, and then go to

1412
01:03:04,840 --> 01:03:05,920
a marathon right after.

1413
01:03:05,800 --> 01:03:08,079
Speaker 1: That run it. No, I'd sit and watch it. I

1414
01:03:08,079 --> 01:03:10,880
wouldn't rune, oh you know, pick pull up a chair,

1415
01:03:11,960 --> 01:03:13,239
what sweaty people run by?

1416
01:03:13,679 --> 01:03:15,639
Speaker 2: No, I would probably just say that, hey, I'll be

1417
01:03:15,679 --> 01:03:17,360
there to support you a mile fourteen and then just

1418
01:03:17,400 --> 01:03:18,119
say I get lost.

1419
01:03:22,480 --> 01:03:27,440
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah we can. We can work on this.

1420
01:03:29,800 --> 01:03:35,000
Speaker 2: Although I don't want a marathon bit steel. What can

1421
01:03:35,199 --> 01:03:38,000
could we retie it to something Rodeo related?

1422
01:03:38,079 --> 01:03:38,320
Speaker 13: Maybe?

1423
01:03:39,719 --> 01:03:41,119
Speaker 3: Maybe? No problem is.

1424
01:03:41,239 --> 01:03:42,840
Speaker 2: Rodeo is in February, so that doesn't know it's any

1425
01:03:42,880 --> 01:03:48,039
good in April. What could we do around here? Texas

1426
01:03:48,079 --> 01:03:54,159
Independence Day? Okay, think of something. We gotta we gotta

1427
01:03:54,199 --> 01:03:57,280

01:04:07,800 --> 01:04:10,199

1451
01:05:28,480 --> 01:05:28,639
Speaker 4: Oh.

1452
01:05:28,719 --> 01:05:30,840
Speaker 1: Why was it the Battle of sanja Cento? Why I

1453
01:05:30,840 --> 01:05:33,039
would assume so? One hundred and eighty nine years ago,

1454
01:05:33,599 --> 01:05:36,239
nine hundred fearless Texans secured victory at the Battle of

1455
01:05:36,320 --> 01:05:39,119
San ja Cento. They want our independence and forever shaped

1456
01:05:39,119 --> 01:05:42,079
the bold spirit of Texas. That same courage lives on

1457
01:05:42,199 --> 01:05:44,320
in the millions who call the greatest date in America home.

1458
01:05:44,320 --> 01:05:47,599
Speaker 2: That's from our Governor Greg Abbott. How about this, thanks Greig.

1459
01:05:47,760 --> 01:05:54,559
Astros Rangers rotate every other year. We play an eleven

1460
01:05:54,639 --> 01:05:57,719
o five first pitch on a Monday on San Jacento Day.

1461
01:05:58,800 --> 01:06:02,079
And you know what, Omelet stations at minute Made Park

1463
01:06:07,599 --> 01:06:11,920
started because the Texas settlers wanted to keep their slaves.

1464
01:06:12,840 --> 01:06:15,719
Speaker 1: Great stuff. Okay, I'm gonna let you editorialize. I can't

1465
01:06:15,760 --> 01:06:17,760
speak to this. All I'm gonna say is that's history

1466
01:06:17,880 --> 01:06:20,199
that I would like to have a fresh orange juice

1467
01:06:20,760 --> 01:06:23,000

Jacento Day to all those that celebrate those it doesn't celebrate.

1471
01:06:33,519 --> 01:06:35,360
I was gonna say, if you don't celebrate, I'm.

1472
01:06:35,199 --> 01:06:35,719
Speaker 1: Gonna judge you.

1473
01:06:37,760 --> 01:06:39,639
Speaker 2: Chris and Troy Type will get to you just a

1474
01:06:39,719 --> 01:06:42,039
couple of seconds. Trust me, Like you get out of

1475
01:06:42,039 --> 01:06:47,079
this segment fast enough. All right, Here's how it works

1476
01:06:47,159 --> 01:06:50,480
to tell the truth. This is where h Ross and

1477
01:06:50,599 --> 01:06:52,960
Jonathan have to decide which one of the four I'm

1478
01:06:53,039 --> 01:06:55,960
not telling the truth? Three of the four, gentlemen, I'm

1479
01:06:56,079 --> 01:06:56,840
telling the truth.

1480
01:06:57,400 --> 01:06:57,960
Speaker 1: One I'm not.

1481
01:06:58,719 --> 01:07:02,079
Speaker 2: Do you understand said rules? Only one is false, only

1482
01:07:02,239 --> 01:07:05,119
one is false false one is false.

1483
01:07:05,199 --> 01:07:05,559
Speaker 15: Here we go.

1484
01:07:05,760 --> 01:07:09,239
Speaker 2: Number one, I watched a little bit of almost every

1485
01:07:09,320 --> 01:07:13,760
playoff game this weekend in the NBA playoffs. There will

1486
01:07:13,880 --> 01:07:17,559
not be a single game seven in any of the

1487
01:07:17,599 --> 01:07:23,239
playoff series. Eight playoff series, none of them go to

1488
01:07:23,320 --> 01:07:27,280
the seventh game. Huh, okay, okay, this is kind of random.

1489
01:07:27,280 --> 01:07:29,000
One minute, so I throw out there, okay.

1490
01:07:29,320 --> 01:07:29,760
Speaker 1: Number two.

1491
01:07:31,440 --> 01:07:34,159
Speaker 2: I took the comments from Nick Cassio last week about

1492
01:07:34,239 --> 01:07:36,039
you know what we're doing, we don't feel for need

1493
01:07:36,119 --> 01:07:40,199
in our draft. I think that I would not be

1494
01:07:40,400 --> 01:07:44,880
surprised if next this Thursday coming up, the Texans trade

1495
01:07:45,000 --> 01:07:47,719
out of the first round, that there will be no

1496
01:07:48,039 --> 01:07:50,920
breakdown like a mudda of a first round pick. I

1497
01:07:51,000 --> 01:07:55,760
would not be surprised if Casario trades out of the

1498
01:07:55,800 --> 01:07:56,320
first round.

1499
01:07:56,440 --> 01:07:58,039
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, that's number two.

1500
01:07:59,039 --> 01:08:03,119
Speaker 2: Number three, Aaron Rodgers can't find the team right now.

1501
01:08:04,559 --> 01:08:07,840
He's mulling it over with his new girl, taking some

1502
01:08:08,039 --> 01:08:12,760
downtime away from his weekly appearance in the Pat mcafe show. Apparently,

1503
01:08:13,480 --> 01:08:17,079
you're very lucrative, very lucrative. I think Aaron Rodgers, ultimately

1504
01:08:17,159 --> 01:08:20,319
boys is going to call it a career. He is

1505
01:08:20,439 --> 01:08:23,960
going to retire. I think he knows that the writing

1506
01:08:24,039 --> 01:08:25,720
is on the wall. He can't start anymore. He doesn't

1507
01:08:25,720 --> 01:08:28,159
want to be a clipboard holder. And I think he

1508
01:08:28,319 --> 01:08:31,079
is going to retire and not come back and play

1509
01:08:31,119 --> 01:08:34,920
in the NFL in twenty twenty five. Okay, and number four.

1510
01:08:36,640 --> 01:08:40,319
I believe Chas McCormick needs a change of scenery. Oh,

1511
01:08:40,840 --> 01:08:44,720
I am one hundred percent endorsing the Astros. Trade Chaz

1512
01:08:44,920 --> 01:08:49,720
McCormick for something he's not playing very much. You give

1513
01:08:49,840 --> 01:08:52,479
Zach the senze An opportunity, the extra outfielder, Jake Myers's

1514
01:08:52,520 --> 01:08:53,560
cleariest playing center.

1515
01:08:53,640 --> 01:08:55,880
Speaker 1: You've got Jordan Avarez playing qui a bit in left field.

1516
01:08:56,520 --> 01:08:57,319
You don't need him.

1517
01:08:58,119 --> 01:09:00,000
Speaker 2: Chaz, I think can still play in the Big League

1518
01:09:00,239 --> 01:09:04,119
at a very small level, fourth fifth outfielder. I think

1519
01:09:04,199 --> 01:09:06,319
a change of scenery is in his best interest. If

1520
01:09:06,359 --> 01:09:08,920
I were the Astros. I would start taking offers to

1521
01:09:09,039 --> 01:09:13,680
trade one Chaz McCormick for what, no matter, just to

1522
01:09:13,880 --> 01:09:15,479
just to you know what, something you just got Like

1523
01:09:15,600 --> 01:09:18,199
Roephiel Montero, you did a pitching machine, they moved they

1524
01:09:18,279 --> 01:09:19,079
moved him to Atlanta.

1525
01:09:19,159 --> 01:09:20,840
Speaker 1: Do yeah, but they had a ship like nine million

1526
01:09:20,880 --> 01:09:23,079
dollars with them. You get My point, just needs a

1527
01:09:23,119 --> 01:09:24,600
new change of scenery. Okay.

1528
01:09:24,760 --> 01:09:27,239
Speaker 2: So my four takes are there will not be a

1529
01:09:27,279 --> 01:09:29,720
seventh game in any of the a playoff series.

1530
01:09:30,520 --> 01:09:30,840
Speaker 1: Okay.

1531
01:09:31,239 --> 01:09:34,680
Speaker 2: Number two, I would not be surprised if the Texans

1532
01:09:34,720 --> 01:09:35,840
trade out of the first round.

1533
01:09:36,680 --> 01:09:38,199
Speaker 1: Number three, I do believe.

1534
01:09:37,920 --> 01:09:39,960
Speaker 2: Because Air Rodgers not received the love that he so

1535
01:09:40,119 --> 01:09:42,159
rich that thinks he deserves, he will be retiring.

1536
01:09:42,520 --> 01:09:42,800
Speaker 1: Okay.

1537
01:09:43,039 --> 01:09:45,039
Speaker 2: And number four, I think Chaz McCormack needs to change

1538
01:09:45,039 --> 01:09:47,520
the scenery. The Astros should start exploring a trade to

1539
01:09:47,600 --> 01:09:49,840
move Chaz out of Houston. Which one of the four?

1540
01:09:50,000 --> 01:10:00,319
Am I not telling the truth? Okay, let's talk us out.

1541
01:10:00,359 --> 01:10:04,920
Speaker 1: Jonathan all right, First of all, it's ridiculous to say

1542
01:10:04,960 --> 01:10:06,840
that there's not going to be a single seven game

1543
01:10:06,960 --> 01:10:08,479
series out of all the series.

1544
01:10:09,000 --> 01:10:12,479
Speaker 2: But see that's not the question. Jonathan Matt often has

1545
01:10:12,600 --> 01:10:18,840
ridiculous opinions. It's does he believe this ridiculous opinion? That's

1546
01:10:18,880 --> 01:10:22,039
what we have to figure out. Really, I think number

1547
01:10:22,039 --> 01:10:25,079
two I'm throwing out I wouldn't be surprised Nick Cassio

1548
01:10:25,159 --> 01:10:28,279
trades out of the first round either, especially with I

1549
01:10:28,399 --> 01:10:30,479
heard the same thing Matt heard. It sounded like Nickosi

1550
01:10:30,680 --> 01:10:32,760
was kind of open to trading back and getting more picks.

1551
01:10:33,319 --> 01:10:35,000
Speaker 3: And I'll have his defense right now on secondary.

1552
01:10:35,079 --> 01:10:37,239
Speaker 2: I think there's no way Aaron Rodgers retires. He's just

1553
01:10:37,359 --> 01:10:42,479
loving and lapping up all this all this attention, and

1554
01:10:42,479 --> 01:10:43,800
then he'll eventually play somewhere.

1555
01:10:43,840 --> 01:10:46,399
Speaker 1: I don't know where. The options are kind of running low.

1556
01:10:46,840 --> 01:10:50,399
Speaker 3: But he is old though, like he's like what forty close.

1557
01:10:50,239 --> 01:10:53,640
Speaker 1: That forty one? Yeah, he could retire, he's old and ancient. Yes,

1558
01:10:53,960 --> 01:10:58,600
And then Chas McCormick retiring, no, I mean not retiring, man,

1559
01:10:58,720 --> 01:11:01,079
what he might need to he just turned thirty.

1560
01:11:01,119 --> 01:11:02,680
Speaker 2: You're not gonna get anything for him in the trade.

1561
01:11:02,720 --> 01:11:05,399
But he is kind of just sitting on the bench.

1562
01:11:05,560 --> 01:11:07,800
But it's not like Zach Dezenzo is some great shakes.

1563
01:11:08,159 --> 01:11:10,319
I think you still need Chas McCormick to play everywhere

1564
01:11:10,319 --> 01:11:13,239
he's been a defensive replacement as well. And Jake Myers

1565
01:11:13,279 --> 01:11:14,960
isn't gonna hit three hundred os, he said, I'm sorry

1566
01:11:14,960 --> 01:11:15,239
to tell you.

1567
01:11:15,279 --> 01:11:19,399
Speaker 3: Folks, and he's valuable as the trade options, you know, all.

1568
01:11:19,319 --> 01:11:21,760
Speaker 2: Right, So you know, I mean these takes are there's

1569
01:11:21,800 --> 01:11:24,239
some decent ones and there's some really bad ones. Thanks Ross,

1570
01:11:24,520 --> 01:11:27,640
that's a nice thing you've ever said about this. Okay, Really,

1571
01:11:27,760 --> 01:11:31,399
I I know Matt love basketball.

1572
01:11:31,399 --> 01:11:31,680
Speaker 1: I don't.

1573
01:11:31,720 --> 01:11:34,560
Speaker 5: I'm seeing he really thinks the Pacers and Bucks ain't

1574
01:11:34,560 --> 01:11:36,840
gonna go to seven or just the Nicks and the Pistons.

1575
01:11:36,840 --> 01:11:37,079
Speaker 3: I don't.

1576
01:11:37,119 --> 01:11:37,399
Speaker 15: I don't.

1577
01:11:37,720 --> 01:11:39,399
Speaker 5: I don't think. I think it's gonna be a game

1578
01:11:39,439 --> 01:11:41,520
seven on. Yeah, but he makes rash decisions like this,

1579
01:11:41,760 --> 01:11:42,920
I'm gonna take I'm gonna take.

1580
01:11:42,760 --> 01:11:48,920
Speaker 1: One, I'm gonna go with three. I do believe Chas

1581
01:11:49,000 --> 01:11:52,279
McCormick needs to change the scenery again.

1582
01:11:53,119 --> 01:11:55,680
Speaker 2: You've got replacements coming up at the minor league level.

1583
01:11:56,000 --> 01:11:57,880
You've got the fact that you are playing you on

1584
01:11:57,920 --> 01:12:01,119
On Alvarez occasionally once twice week, and left field Chaz

1585
01:12:01,359 --> 01:12:04,039
has owned the center field spot. You're gonna give sac

1586
01:12:04,840 --> 01:12:07,720
Jake excuse me, You're gonna give sact Oficinzo. I'm not

1587
01:12:07,840 --> 01:12:10,560
saying that you should do it, but I wouldn't be

1588
01:12:10,600 --> 01:12:11,800
a bit you did say you should.

1589
01:12:12,479 --> 01:12:13,479
Speaker 3: Well, they're gonna.

1590
01:12:13,239 --> 01:12:14,600
Speaker 1: Listen to it. I mean, I'm not saying they're gonna

1591
01:12:14,600 --> 01:12:15,000
pull the trigger.

1592
01:12:15,039 --> 01:12:19,760
Speaker 2: But I think Chas McCormick's best days as a Houston Astros,

1593
01:12:19,800 --> 01:12:21,239
a major leaguer are long gone.

1594
01:12:21,319 --> 01:12:23,079
Speaker 1: Okay, And I hope I'm wrong because I like Chazz.

1595
01:12:24,239 --> 01:12:25,079
What do you like about him?

1596
01:12:25,720 --> 01:12:28,359
Speaker 2: Versutill another? Things you just talked about. But I just

1597
01:12:28,439 --> 01:12:32,920
think sometimes you just you gotta get out. And I

1598
01:12:33,000 --> 01:12:35,279
think the Astros will try to find some low end

1599
01:12:35,359 --> 01:12:37,039
prospect and get it returned for it.

1600
01:12:37,760 --> 01:12:45,760
Speaker 1: Just a thought, Okay. Number two Pacers Bucks.

1601
01:12:45,840 --> 01:12:49,600
Speaker 2: To me, the Bucks just look like they want They

1602
01:12:49,640 --> 01:12:51,800
don't have any any interest to playing any defense. I

1603
01:12:51,800 --> 01:12:53,960
don't know if Dame Lillard is gonna come back. If

1604
01:12:54,000 --> 01:12:56,199
there was any series that might go seven, it might

1605
01:12:56,279 --> 01:12:59,840
be that one. But I watching what I saw this weekend,

1606
01:13:00,039 --> 01:13:01,800
I don't think anybody's going seven games.

1607
01:13:03,560 --> 01:13:11,199
Speaker 1: M Okay, somebody will go seven games. Okay, I'm tell

1608
01:13:11,199 --> 01:13:12,720
you new is proven to me. I know I'm gonna

1609
01:13:12,720 --> 01:13:14,119
write this one down. You should write it down.

1610
01:13:15,399 --> 01:13:18,720
Speaker 2: And Number three, the one I do believe to be false.

1611
01:13:19,800 --> 01:13:23,039
Aaron Rodgers' ego is too incredibly big. There's no way,

1612
01:13:23,159 --> 01:13:24,880
no how, He's just going to just go off and

1613
01:13:24,960 --> 01:13:26,960
run off in the sunset because no one wanted him.

1614
01:13:27,199 --> 01:13:29,880
If he's going to leave, he's gonna leave or football field.

1615
01:13:30,319 --> 01:13:34,359
So yeah, Aaron Rodgers is not going to retire. I

1616
01:13:34,479 --> 01:13:36,600
would not be surprised at the textans right out of

1617
01:13:36,600 --> 01:13:39,680
the first round. So unfortunately, and I mean it's an

1618
01:13:39,680 --> 01:13:43,239
all sinceret ross, you were able to figure out which

1619
01:13:43,279 --> 01:13:44,279
one I was not tone.

1620
01:13:44,359 --> 01:13:46,079
Speaker 1: Jonathan, you got to get in the mind of a madman.

1621
01:13:46,199 --> 01:13:48,000
Speaker 3: Oh, it was Brady when he retired.

1622
01:13:48,079 --> 01:13:50,399
Speaker 2: Forty four or something. But he's also an exception, not

1623
01:13:50,479 --> 01:13:54,039
the rule. Yeah, that's why he's a freaking matri No, yeah,

1624
01:13:54,119 --> 01:13:54,720
you're you're right.

1625
01:13:54,840 --> 01:13:55,399
Speaker 1: I understand.

1626
01:13:55,479 --> 01:13:58,079
Speaker 2: Like I said, Jonathan, you got to think unreasonably that

1627
01:13:58,399 --> 01:14:00,279
that a minute I'm in the room. It's like when

1628
01:14:00,279 --> 01:14:02,600
you're in the FBI and you're tracking down a serial killer.

1629
01:14:02,600 --> 01:14:04,359
You got to get in the mind of a madman.

1630
01:14:05,680 --> 01:14:07,960
That's really mean. And at least, Jonathan, for all the mistakes,

1631
01:14:08,479 --> 01:14:12,439
you know what I mean to me, this one over

1632
01:14:12,520 --> 01:14:15,439
here that was tell the truth. Now again, these are

1633
01:14:15,520 --> 01:14:18,079
harder to come up every week. So so you want

1634
01:14:18,119 --> 01:14:19,920
to take a week off when you give me one?

1635
01:14:20,439 --> 01:14:22,520
Uh no, give me notice you do something. No, you

1636
01:14:22,600 --> 01:14:24,520
do a lot of prep. So no you no, no, no, no, no, no,

1637
01:14:24,880 --> 01:14:27,199
this is I can do this at least once a week. Okay,

1638
01:14:27,680 --> 01:14:29,199
I just gonna start thinking he's a little bit more

1639
01:14:29,199 --> 01:14:32,199
ahead of time. Okay, but I you know, I do

1640
01:14:32,359 --> 01:14:35,079
believe the Chas McCormick's best days an astro are are

1641
01:14:35,199 --> 01:14:37,640
long gone. I don't think Aaron rodgers ego is going

1642
01:14:37,720 --> 01:14:39,279
to allow him to just say, yeah, it's been a

1643
01:14:39,319 --> 01:14:43,800
good run. And Caseario's just I think he's very proud

1644
01:14:43,800 --> 01:14:45,199
of his offensive line that he picked up in the

1645
01:14:45,239 --> 01:14:46,560
off season. I don't I don't think he's in any

1646
01:14:46,640 --> 01:14:49,359
center of super hurry to replace it right away. He

1647
01:14:49,640 --> 01:14:51,680
and maybe he does. While I'm saying he might do

1648
01:14:51,720 --> 01:14:53,319
it with the second round, guys, I don't think Stroud

1649
01:14:53,439 --> 01:14:55,680
might disagree. So by would you see how they bout

1650
01:14:55,680 --> 01:14:57,760
CJ and Steph Curry hanging out the game?

1651
01:14:58,359 --> 01:14:59,640
Speaker 1: Isn't CJ from California?

1652
01:15:00,119 --> 01:15:02,039
Speaker 2: Okay, I grew up, say I mean, I'm gonna run

1653
01:15:02,039 --> 01:15:04,039
around talk about Dallas Cowboys fans and stuff.

1654
01:15:04,399 --> 01:15:06,159
Speaker 1: I think he grew up with Steph Curry fan. I

1655
01:15:06,239 --> 01:15:09,119
think I think the Texans should trade Cjay Straw because

1656
01:15:09,119 --> 01:15:12,399
of his affinity for Steph Curry. Oh my gosh, we stop?

1657
01:15:12,479 --> 01:15:15,119
Can we please stop? People? Can we stop? I'm not

1658
01:15:15,199 --> 01:15:17,600
saying you, Matt, because I know you're kind of your trolling.

1659
01:15:18,359 --> 01:15:21,000
Can we stop not treating these people like human beings. Yes,

1660
01:15:21,079 --> 01:15:23,239
he's in Houston and he can switch his allegiance to

1661
01:15:23,279 --> 01:15:25,640
Houston only if he wants. He grew up with Steph

1662
01:15:25,720 --> 01:15:28,520
Curry fan. Steph Curry was I mean, what was one

1663
01:15:28,520 --> 01:15:31,039
of the greatest basketball players of all time? Who cares

1664
01:15:31,079 --> 01:15:33,079
if he's chopping it up with Steph Curry? Please? Does

1665
01:15:33,119 --> 01:15:34,880
he still throw out the hs though? That's all I

1666
01:15:34,960 --> 01:15:37,439
want to do, So that's all. That's what bun Bee

1667
01:15:37,479 --> 01:15:40,720
was throwing up when he made that first shot. He

1668
01:15:40,760 --> 01:15:41,479
didn't make it, didn't he?

1669
01:15:41,600 --> 01:15:41,720
Speaker 20: Yes?

1670
01:15:41,800 --> 01:15:42,079
Speaker 6: He did?

1671
01:15:42,199 --> 01:15:43,279
Speaker 14: All right? Uh?

1672
01:15:43,840 --> 01:15:45,640

1696
01:16:44,880 --> 01:16:48,760
Speaker 2: You're right, No, Troy and Humble Online one on seventy Troy,

1697
01:16:48,800 --> 01:16:51,920
thank you for holding in. Good morning to you, good morning,

1698
01:16:52,159 --> 01:16:53,159
Thank you for picking my college.

1699
01:16:53,199 --> 01:16:53,359
Speaker 12: Yeah.

1700
01:16:53,399 --> 01:16:53,600
Speaker 14: Sure.

1701
01:16:54,720 --> 01:16:57,520
Speaker 18: What was so frustrating about the Rockets game last night

1702
01:16:57,720 --> 01:17:00,720
was step had a very good game. Jimmy Butler had

1703
01:17:00,760 --> 01:17:03,399
a very good game. You heard the ninety five points

1704
01:17:03,399 --> 01:17:06,119
that you lost that home. That was the most frustrated

1705
01:17:06,159 --> 01:17:08,119
part of that game. And I get it, it's a

1706
01:17:08,199 --> 01:17:12,279
first playoff for the Rockets of the Jitters, but you

1707
01:17:12,520 --> 01:17:15,439
just can't lose that game. You scored eighty five points

1708
01:17:15,479 --> 01:17:16,520
in a playoff.

1709
01:17:16,199 --> 01:17:16,880
Speaker 1: Game at home.

1710
01:17:17,319 --> 01:17:21,119
Speaker 18: That that still doesn't I still can't fathom that your

1711
01:17:21,359 --> 01:17:24,520
starting backcourt was was terrible like that. But they've had

1712
01:17:24,600 --> 01:17:27,560
games like this all season long. That's why you keep

1713
01:17:27,600 --> 01:17:30,319
hearing the look Rocks go trade for Devin Booker. The

1714
01:17:30,399 --> 01:17:33,079
person that could stop that would be Jalen Green. And

1715
01:17:33,199 --> 01:17:36,520
to have seven points, Jalen Green is so talented, nobody

1716
01:17:36,560 --> 01:17:39,039
should hold you the seven points in the game period.

1717
01:17:39,119 --> 01:17:41,520
I don't care who's playing against you. You mean tell

1718
01:17:41,600 --> 01:17:43,680
me Steph Curry. And I can't think the poor game

1719
01:17:43,760 --> 01:17:46,600
put Simsky or whatever his name and Moses movie. They

1720
01:17:46,720 --> 01:17:47,399
shutting you down.

1721
01:17:48,000 --> 01:17:48,600
Speaker 1: Those guys.

1722
01:17:49,359 --> 01:17:52,760
Speaker 2: It was just bad season against Golden Stake. I mean,

1723
01:17:52,840 --> 01:17:55,920
this is yesterday was on a one off. He's he's

1724
01:17:55,960 --> 01:17:56,159
had it.

1725
01:17:56,479 --> 01:17:59,000
Speaker 1: He has they played six times and he's had one

1726
01:17:59,039 --> 01:18:01,039
good game against him And says.

1727
01:18:02,359 --> 01:18:05,319
Speaker 18: Granted, but that's really that's still not a good thing, you.

1728
01:18:05,359 --> 01:18:05,760
Speaker 6: Know what I mean.

1729
01:18:06,119 --> 01:18:08,439
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, I mean, no one's going wild. They're

1730
01:18:08,600 --> 01:18:12,399
overcoming that. I mean, I hope it's not a trend. Uh,

1731
01:18:13,000 --> 01:18:14,600
And it's got to be better. I mean, if if

1732
01:18:14,840 --> 01:18:17,760
the Rockets backcourt continues to perform like I did yesterday,

1733
01:18:17,800 --> 01:18:18,960
this will be a very short series.

1734
01:18:19,000 --> 01:18:20,720
Speaker 1: And they they're the first one that would tell you.

1735
01:18:20,760 --> 01:18:25,000
Speaker 18: That, absolutely absolutely, I mean everything else they remind The

1736
01:18:25,199 --> 01:18:27,319
Rockets remind me so much of the University of the

1737
01:18:27,399 --> 01:18:28,239
Cougar's is the same.

1738
01:18:28,560 --> 01:18:30,000
Speaker 1: That coach is pretty much the same.

1739
01:18:30,039 --> 01:18:33,399
Speaker 18: We're gonna play physical, we're gonna rebound, nobody gonna outpunk us,

1740
01:18:33,640 --> 01:18:34,920
but we're not a good shooting.

1741
01:18:34,600 --> 01:18:35,239
Speaker 5: Team like that.

1742
01:18:35,439 --> 01:18:36,680
Speaker 1: And the same thing for the Cougars.

1743
01:18:36,800 --> 01:18:37,760
Speaker 4: They play the same way.

1744
01:18:38,119 --> 01:18:41,199
Speaker 20: But in the playoffs, you have to have somebody that could.

1745
01:18:41,039 --> 01:18:41,800
Speaker 1: Get you a bucket.

1746
01:18:41,960 --> 01:18:44,479
Speaker 18: Singooon can get you a bucket down low, but you

1747
01:18:44,560 --> 01:18:46,880
got to have somebody to have six shots on the perimeter.

1748
01:18:47,279 --> 01:18:49,560
And pretty much for all season on, the Rockets have

1749
01:18:49,640 --> 01:18:52,720
been a portion team. And I'm just another question.

1750
01:18:52,800 --> 01:18:54,279
Speaker 20: I'm just kind of surprised that you have.

1751
01:18:55,920 --> 01:18:58,399
Speaker 18: I'm not saying Aaron Holiday is a savior, but he's

1752
01:18:58,439 --> 01:19:00,800
your best three quest shoot off the pitch for the

1753
01:19:00,840 --> 01:19:01,439
guard position.

1754
01:19:02,039 --> 01:19:04,039
Speaker 1: Cam Newton Camp said, Cam new forgive.

1755
01:19:03,840 --> 01:19:07,239
Speaker 18: Me lord, Cam Whitwall is a scoring threat off the bitch,

1756
01:19:07,359 --> 01:19:10,439
and Jeff Green has to playoff playoff experience, and he

1757
01:19:10,520 --> 01:19:13,279
could shoot three port. They can't get any minutes in

1758
01:19:13,359 --> 01:19:15,760
the game, and with your challenge for scoring, that was

1759
01:19:15,840 --> 01:19:18,199
kind of surprising me. But all said and done, we're

1760
01:19:18,199 --> 01:19:19,640
gonna win the next game. We're gonna go one and

1761
01:19:19,840 --> 01:19:21,119
one and one back to Golden State.

1762
01:19:21,439 --> 01:19:23,960
Speaker 2: All right, all right, thank you, sure, I appreciate the

1763
01:19:24,039 --> 01:19:29,840
positivity on that. And again, uh it was waffled the

1764
01:19:30,279 --> 01:19:33,079
entire backcourt, well for that matter of starting five not

1765
01:19:33,239 --> 01:19:35,079
named Alprin Shanguten cut in the broad side of a

1766
01:19:35,119 --> 01:19:36,760
barn three point shoot.

1767
01:19:36,760 --> 01:19:38,840
Speaker 1: I mean, the Rockets got nothing off their bench.

1768
01:19:38,920 --> 01:19:42,039
Speaker 2: They were within one of five from three off the

1769
01:19:42,119 --> 01:19:45,600
bench Lee when we went six or twenty nine from three.

1770
01:19:45,680 --> 01:19:49,920
Speaker 1: Overall, it was it was terrible. It was absolutely awful

1771
01:19:50,000 --> 01:19:53,439
to watch. But it shows you how what the fine

1772
01:19:53,760 --> 01:19:54,600
line is on this.

1773
01:19:55,880 --> 01:19:59,359
Speaker 2: As bad as they were, uh Ross it was a

1774
01:19:59,439 --> 01:20:02,039
one position game mid fourth quarter last night.

1775
01:20:02,439 --> 01:20:08,119
Speaker 1: Yes, So if you get something, say anything we stop

1776
01:20:08,199 --> 01:20:10,319
having to look for silver linings and everything in Houston

1777
01:20:10,359 --> 01:20:12,119
sports right now, it's called the Warriors.

1778
01:20:12,279 --> 01:20:12,560
Speaker 14: Ross.

1779
01:20:13,439 --> 01:20:17,840
Speaker 1: I got an idea win, knockdown some threes, went out

1780
01:20:17,920 --> 01:20:21,239
to say, Yeah, the Bats are gonna get better, Yeah, CJ.

1781
01:20:21,359 --> 01:20:24,640
Stroud's gonna bounce back. Yeah, the Rockets are gonna make

1782
01:20:24,680 --> 01:20:30,640
some threes. Just go out there and win, please, And.

1783
01:20:30,680 --> 01:20:38,119
Speaker 2: I didn't even mentioned the Cougars. Good, I'm not gonna.

1784
01:20:38,199 --> 01:20:40,520
I'm sick of the Warriors. I'm sick of I'm sick

1785
01:20:40,520 --> 01:20:42,399
of the Warriors. I hate the Warriors.

1786
01:20:42,600 --> 01:20:44,720
Speaker 1: I hate Draymond Green, I hate Steph Curry.

1787
01:20:44,800 --> 01:20:46,840
Speaker 2: I respect Jimmy Butler, but I just don't want to

1788
01:20:46,840 --> 01:20:49,079
watch him knock down any more tough shots against the Rockets.

1789
01:20:49,199 --> 01:20:51,000
Speaker 1: Those dorks in Boston doing the wave, by the way,

1790
01:20:51,039 --> 01:20:53,560
good and you guys struck out serve as you're right.

1791
01:20:54,600 --> 01:20:58,039
See you men have the waves everywhere. Boston's a good

1792
01:20:58,039 --> 01:20:58,720
baseball town.

1793
01:21:00,079 --> 01:21:03,079
Speaker 2: Well, first of there's not not not real fans there

1794
01:21:03,119 --> 01:21:05,920
today it's a day off of them, so it's it's fine, okay,

1795
01:21:08,239 --> 01:21:10,159
you dorks at Astro games still doing the wave.

1796
01:21:10,640 --> 01:21:12,800
Speaker 1: It was a three was it a three? Two game?

1797
01:21:12,880 --> 01:21:13,439
Speaker 3: On Friday night?

1798
01:21:13,520 --> 01:21:15,439
Speaker 1: Or something like that. One run game. It was a

1799
01:21:15,479 --> 01:21:18,960
one run game. Brian Bray was in the game. It

1800
01:21:19,079 --> 01:21:19,920
was an eighth inning.

1801
01:21:19,960 --> 01:21:23,079
Speaker 2: You should be engage, hanging on every pitch watching the game,

1802
01:21:23,239 --> 01:21:23,960
and people are.

1803
01:21:23,840 --> 01:21:26,000
Speaker 1: Doing the wave, doing the wave. They're doing it right

1804
01:21:26,039 --> 01:21:29,960
now in Boston. Chris on seven eleven fifty seven.

1805
01:21:30,000 --> 01:21:34,399
Speaker 21: Hello, Chris Brother, I'm calling from San Francisco and I

1806
01:21:34,560 --> 01:21:36,239
can't stand these Warriors.

1807
01:21:36,560 --> 01:21:37,239
Speaker 16: I hate.

1808
01:21:38,479 --> 01:21:40,920
Speaker 21: But I'm gonna give you the formula if you wanted

1809
01:21:41,039 --> 01:21:44,880
rockets only if you want it. Okay, you adopt the

1810
01:21:45,000 --> 01:21:48,680
facade of your head. Coach, Wow, mean tough guy. Tough guy,

1811
01:21:49,119 --> 01:21:52,840
y'all played soft last night. You forgot to use a

1812
01:21:54,000 --> 01:21:56,640
legal blind pick, which is a legal pick.

1813
01:21:56,880 --> 01:21:58,880
Speaker 14: You can knock the hell out of a lot of players.

1814
01:21:59,199 --> 01:22:01,640
Speaker 6: It's a legalis called a blind pick.

1815
01:22:02,119 --> 01:22:05,560
Speaker 21: You can dislodge Draymond Green from the game, and.

1816
01:22:05,760 --> 01:22:08,159
Speaker 14: Or Steph Curry. Double team Stephan.

1817
01:22:08,600 --> 01:22:11,279
Speaker 21: Don't let him let him run around, and you got

1818
01:22:11,479 --> 01:22:15,239
one guy chasing him, double team him. Take the ball

1819
01:22:15,319 --> 01:22:18,279
out of his head. Let someone else beat us instead

1820
01:22:18,279 --> 01:22:22,159
of standing. Oh Curry, he's so great man. You can't

1821
01:22:22,199 --> 01:22:24,640
let this guy run around the court like that. And

1822
01:22:24,720 --> 01:22:27,520
the Warriors when they we bring the ball across half court,

1823
01:22:28,119 --> 01:22:32,079
Podzinski and GP two, they take their hand and they

1824
01:22:32,319 --> 01:22:35,960
push and grab our ball when it comes across the court.

1825
01:22:36,119 --> 01:22:38,760
Officials not gonna call it. Don't worry about the officials.

1826
01:22:38,760 --> 01:22:41,279
Don't look for them to help us. We gotta get

1827
01:22:41,359 --> 01:22:45,239
tough and we're soft. Heart of a champion, I'm looking

1828
01:22:45,359 --> 01:22:49,039
for it. These guys are wine drinkers and cheese and

1829
01:22:49,279 --> 01:22:52,319
nippers out here. I give them hell by the believing.

1830
01:22:52,600 --> 01:22:55,920
I give them hell The rockets gotta step up or

1831
01:22:56,000 --> 01:22:57,000
go lay down somewhere.

1832
01:22:57,039 --> 01:22:58,359
Speaker 6: You gotta fight fire with fire.

1833
01:22:58,880 --> 01:23:00,560
Speaker 1: What do you think I want them to.

1834
01:23:00,600 --> 01:23:03,800
Speaker 2: Hit some jump shots, because let me tell you some

1835
01:23:03,960 --> 01:23:07,199
if you get into a screen war, the officials are

1836
01:23:07,239 --> 01:23:09,960
going to call fouls, a lot of them. Yeah, Steven

1837
01:23:10,000 --> 01:23:12,560
Adams was sending those blind screens that he was talking about.

1838
01:23:12,600 --> 01:23:13,159
Speaker 1: It was happening.

1839
01:23:13,279 --> 01:23:16,159
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, I'm not. This is a very good

1840
01:23:16,239 --> 01:23:18,560
pick and roll basketball team. I'm not worried about screens

1841
01:23:18,640 --> 01:23:21,520
not being enough, screens being set. All right, let's get

1855
01:23:57,279 --> 01:23:59,119
Thank you man, Oh appreciate you having me here on

1856
01:23:59,279 --> 01:24:02,279
the news at noon Sports Talk seven ninety. Of course,

1857
01:24:02,399 --> 01:24:06,239
the headline of the sports news here in Houston, Texas

1858
01:24:07,000 --> 01:24:10,239
Game one loss to the Golden State Warriors.

1859
01:24:10,520 --> 01:24:13,000
Speaker 1: Jimmy Butler between the rings has Shan Goud in front

1860
01:24:13,000 --> 01:24:19,520
of him. Shock Lock hits seven right elbow sixteen footer

1861
01:24:19,640 --> 01:24:21,960
for Butler has not been in double legit lead and

1862
01:24:22,039 --> 01:24:25,079
that will give Golden State a Game one victory. I

1863
01:24:25,239 --> 01:24:26,840
just like the between the rings when you say that

1864
01:24:26,920 --> 01:24:29,560
it's just such a radio basketball call. I don't know

1865
01:24:29,640 --> 01:24:31,439
why this makes me feel like he just like it,

1866
01:24:32,279 --> 01:24:34,279
but anyway, I spare my voice. By the way, what's

1867
01:24:34,319 --> 01:24:35,640
that you hear? The despair of my voice.

1868
01:24:35,760 --> 01:24:38,079
Speaker 2: Yeah, you don't seem too happy, And that's okay because

1869
01:24:38,119 --> 01:24:40,600
that was what you said. Is what I thought too,

1870
01:24:40,720 --> 01:24:42,479
is like, well, there's the dagger. This game's over. I

1871
01:24:42,720 --> 01:24:45,079
really thought they were gonna come back. Matt got down

1872
01:24:45,119 --> 01:24:47,439
by as much as twenty three, got it within one

1873
01:24:47,520 --> 01:24:50,079
possession in the fourth quarter on a night where they

1874
01:24:50,079 --> 01:24:53,840
were horrible from three. Six of twenty nine that's twenty

1875
01:24:53,920 --> 01:24:57,399
point seven percent. Eleven of twenty from the free throw line,

1876
01:24:57,439 --> 01:25:00,560
that's fifty five percent. I mean, if just one of

1877
01:25:00,600 --> 01:25:03,000
those numbers could have changed, you're talking about a completely

1878
01:25:03,039 --> 01:25:05,960
different game. But Steph Curry goes off for thirty one

1879
01:25:06,039 --> 01:25:09,760
points on twelve to nineteen shooting, Jimmy Butler with twenty

1880
01:25:09,880 --> 01:25:14,279
five points, seven rebounds, six assists, five steals.

1881
01:25:15,720 --> 01:25:22,520
Speaker 1: Rockets lose Game one to the Golden State Warriors. Very unfortunate.

1882
01:25:22,840 --> 01:25:26,920
Making Game two, oh, here we go, just win, making

1883
01:25:27,000 --> 01:25:30,079
Game two a very important. Of course, We've seen here

1884
01:25:30,119 --> 01:25:32,800
in Houston teams get down too and head on the

1885
01:25:32,880 --> 01:25:34,520
road and still win the series.

1886
01:25:35,000 --> 01:25:37,920
Speaker 2: So it has happened before. So you can call it

1887
01:25:38,000 --> 01:25:40,159
whatever you want. I'm gonna say it's a very important

1888
01:25:40,159 --> 01:25:41,600
game for the Rockets. They don't want to go on

1889
01:25:41,640 --> 01:25:44,239
the road, but they can beat this Warriors team even

1890
01:25:44,319 --> 01:25:45,800
four in a row, and then it's not where you

1891
01:25:45,840 --> 01:25:49,199
want to beat, but it can happens. A lot of

1892
01:25:49,279 --> 01:25:52,720
work to be done and a lot of shooting of

1893
01:25:52,800 --> 01:25:57,800
themselves out of the game last night. Still though they

1894
01:25:57,840 --> 01:26:00,279
were good on the offensive boards. Steven Adam was a

1895
01:26:00,359 --> 01:26:02,600
mad man. Albrin Shingoon was still good. I think he's

1896
01:26:02,640 --> 01:26:05,720
gonna thrive in this series as well. But game won

1897
01:26:06,039 --> 01:26:10,000
the loss for the Houston Rockets. Coach Udoka talking about

1898
01:26:10,000 --> 01:26:12,159
the big problems they had last night with the half

1899
01:26:12,239 --> 01:26:12,840
court offense.

1900
01:26:13,199 --> 01:26:15,920
Speaker 9: Alpe obviously was having a dominant game inside, and you

1901
01:26:16,000 --> 01:26:16,920
got some scoring.

1902
01:26:16,640 --> 01:26:18,239
Speaker 5: From your bench there in the third quarter, But what

1903
01:26:18,319 --> 01:26:20,880
did you think about the half court offensive creation in general?

1904
01:26:22,439 --> 01:26:26,199
Speaker 22: None of our best obviously only score eighty five. It's

1905
01:26:26,239 --> 01:26:28,239
not a great offensive night, and the numbers show that.

1906
01:26:28,319 --> 01:26:30,720
But I think it was six or twenty nine from

1907
01:26:30,720 --> 01:26:33,560
three to eleven, twenty from pree throw line, and seventeen

1908
01:26:33,600 --> 01:26:37,039
turnovers that gave up twenty five points. So not our

1909
01:26:37,039 --> 01:26:39,720
best offensive night by any means. Like I said, hold

1910
01:26:39,760 --> 01:26:41,479
somebody in ninety five, you'd expect to win if you

1911
01:26:41,520 --> 01:26:44,079
have a decent offensive night, and not only these shots,

1912
01:26:44,119 --> 01:26:47,039
but like I said, turnovers playing in the crowd. The

1913
01:26:47,119 --> 01:26:49,359
misses in the crowd are the same as turnovers basically,

1914
01:26:50,159 --> 01:26:52,520
so had our chances. Got it to four point game

1915
01:26:52,560 --> 01:26:54,760
with two thirty four I think, and gave up a

1916
01:26:54,800 --> 01:26:55,199
three there.

1917
01:26:55,279 --> 01:26:57,199
Speaker 1: But you know, guarded well enough to.

1918
01:26:57,199 --> 01:27:00,840
Speaker 2: Win, guarded well enough to win, did not play offensively

1919
01:27:01,199 --> 01:27:02,359
well enough to win, and.

1920
01:27:02,399 --> 01:27:04,439
Speaker 1: A lot of that going on in Houston, Matt.

1921
01:27:04,560 --> 01:27:07,600
Speaker 2: The Astros do win the series over the weekend against

1922
01:27:07,640 --> 01:27:12,960
the San Diego Padres, exploding for six runs on Friday,

1923
01:27:13,600 --> 01:27:15,600
just three runs on Saturday. But they got to win

1924
01:27:15,800 --> 01:27:20,119
just two runs on Sunday against the pause Fernando Tatis

1925
01:27:20,239 --> 01:27:22,720
with a big home run as the Padres beat the

1926
01:27:22,800 --> 01:27:24,119
Astros three to two.

1927
01:27:24,560 --> 01:27:26,680
Speaker 1: Good news is fromer was very good.

1928
01:27:26,760 --> 01:27:28,640
Speaker 2: Despite giving up the seven hits, it was just two

1929
01:27:28,680 --> 01:27:31,199
earned runs, three walks, a couple of strikeouts as well.

1930
01:27:32,079 --> 01:27:36,279
And the Astros now ten and eleven on the season.

1931
01:27:37,399 --> 01:27:40,600
They are just mediocre. And anyway you put it six

1932
01:27:40,680 --> 01:27:42,520
and six at home, ten and eleven on the season,

1933
01:27:42,600 --> 01:27:46,359
alternating wins and losses for fourteen games. Now we don't

1934
01:27:46,359 --> 01:27:49,319
have to do a really big standings watch, but two

1935
01:27:49,319 --> 01:27:50,600
and a half games behind the Rangers.

1936
01:27:50,640 --> 01:27:54,359
Speaker 1: It's really but nothing. That's nothing, but it'd be cool

1937
01:27:54,359 --> 01:27:58,319
if they could win some games. Hows Toronto.

1938
01:27:58,399 --> 01:28:02,560
Speaker 2: By the way, Blue Jays, they are twelve and ten.

1939
01:28:04,560 --> 01:28:08,319
They have have a negative run differential. That's good, I

1940
01:28:08,399 --> 01:28:10,039
think is it has.

1941
01:28:09,960 --> 01:28:13,319
Speaker 1: A is Jordan in town? Joey li berfdo I believe

1942
01:28:13,560 --> 01:28:16,520
is struggling in Buffalo? That's gonna happen. Last I looked.

1943
01:28:16,600 --> 01:28:18,439
I've never been in Buffalo, but I bet others have

1944
01:28:18,520 --> 01:28:24,319
struggled there before too. Okay, I'll take your word for it.

1945
01:28:25,600 --> 01:28:28,800
Speaker 2: Let's see who uh you want to your mound matchups

1946
01:28:28,840 --> 01:28:30,439
for this Toronto Blue Jays series.

1947
01:28:30,479 --> 01:28:36,119
Speaker 1: It's Hunter Brown versus Kevin Goussman, the former Cy Young winner.

1948
01:28:36,560 --> 01:28:38,159
He's having a good season so far with a two

1949
01:28:38,199 --> 01:28:39,199
point four nine ERA.

1950
01:28:39,960 --> 01:28:44,800
Speaker 2: And then it's Nale Blanco over old Astros nemesis Chris Bassett.

1951
01:28:46,039 --> 01:28:48,039
Astros have touched him up over the years, but also

1952
01:28:48,079 --> 01:28:50,000
he's had some good starts against them. And then it's

1953
01:28:50,159 --> 01:28:55,000
o Rian Gusto against Baden Francis from Tyla Hasse to Florida.

1954
01:28:55,720 --> 01:28:58,640
Of course, his name is Bowdninis from Tallahassee. That'll be

1955
01:28:58,720 --> 01:29:01,800
the third game of the series, rubber match, if you will.

1956
01:29:02,760 --> 01:29:05,000
That's a six forty start because it's on all night

1957
01:29:05,039 --> 01:29:07,720
games this week. Yeah, all night games and a six

1958
01:29:07,840 --> 01:29:10,760
forty start on Wednesday. Astro is welcoming the Blue Jays

1959
01:29:10,760 --> 01:29:12,399
into town. But good news is they won a series

1960
01:29:12,439 --> 01:29:15,279
against the best team in baseball. Yeah, and thank you

1961
01:29:15,359 --> 01:29:17,279
to following play some America League teams. They're very pleased

1962
01:29:17,279 --> 01:29:17,560
about that.

1963
01:29:18,279 --> 01:29:20,800
Speaker 1: Yes. Also, by the way, last night in the game,

1964
01:29:21,119 --> 01:29:25,039
Luis Ariez was in a collision with Mauricio Dubon at

1965
01:29:25,119 --> 01:29:25,680
first base.

1966
01:29:26,000 --> 01:29:29,119
Speaker 2: It was a very scary situation. But the latest is

1967
01:29:29,399 --> 01:29:31,600
Ariaz is back from the hospital. He was even in

1968
01:29:31,680 --> 01:29:33,720
the clubhouse at the end of the game. He should

1969
01:29:33,800 --> 01:29:38,600
be okay. I think it was he had a laceration

1970
01:29:38,760 --> 01:29:43,000
on his jawline, and they said they were also worried about.

1971
01:29:42,760 --> 01:29:46,479
Speaker 1: His cervical region. Ooh, that guy kind of like dark

1972
01:29:46,560 --> 01:29:51,199
the very last second. But everything clear apparently and stable

1973
01:29:51,239 --> 01:29:55,119
on initial testing. All right, Okay.

1974
01:29:55,279 --> 01:29:57,720
Speaker 2: Elsewhere on the news at noon, Matt, you got NBA

1975
01:29:57,840 --> 01:29:59,960
playoff action over the weekend. As you mentioned, you don't

1976
01:30:00,039 --> 01:30:02,520
think anybody's going to seven games We'll see what happens there.

1977
01:30:03,159 --> 01:30:05,319
Speaker 1: You gonna ask you this, if if I said that

1978
01:30:05,479 --> 01:30:06,640
none of em are going to seven, which one you

1979
01:30:06,680 --> 01:30:08,920
think is going to seven or which ones? So let

1980
01:30:08,960 --> 01:30:14,359
me look at the How about the Rockets and the Warriors? Okay, yeah,

1981
01:30:14,520 --> 01:30:17,479
that'd be That means it's in Houston, Texas. Mm hmm.

1982
01:30:17,800 --> 01:30:19,920
I could see the Clippers and Nuggets easily going seven.

1983
01:30:20,039 --> 01:30:22,159
That's a closely matched up by way Russell West series

1984
01:30:22,199 --> 01:30:25,079
played well for them that Russell West did. Yeah, Clippers

1985
01:30:25,159 --> 01:30:27,039
made a ridiculous three at the end of the game

1986
01:30:27,119 --> 01:30:29,399
to cover two and a half in that one. It

1987
01:30:29,520 --> 01:30:29,920
was counting.

1988
01:30:31,720 --> 01:30:36,000
Speaker 2: Very upsetting. But anyways, I don't think Nix Pistons is

1989
01:30:36,039 --> 01:30:38,960
going seven. I think Lakers, Timberwolves could. I think there's

1990
01:30:39,000 --> 01:30:40,800
three series I just laid out the potentially could go

1991
01:30:40,880 --> 01:30:42,159
seven games, Matt.

1992
01:30:42,000 --> 01:30:44,880
Speaker 1: Okay, one else will be right, whats to be wrong

1993
01:30:45,039 --> 01:30:48,560
and we'll see what happens. You congratulations of John Cena.

1994
01:30:48,560 --> 01:30:51,079
He's your new WW champion. No sure, why not?

1995
01:30:51,239 --> 01:30:53,560
Speaker 2: And the Pope Francis has passed and he'll be on

1996
01:30:53,600 --> 01:30:55,880
today's edition. Well, no, he will be, but the subject

1997
01:30:55,920 --> 01:30:57,439
of his life will be unbelieved.

1998
01:30:57,119 --> 01:30:59,960
Speaker 1: Or not I mean, okay, he went into the missionary

1999
01:31:00,239 --> 01:31:03,600
and then he was Pope. Believe it. I mean, there's

2000
01:31:03,600 --> 01:31:04,520
something else you want to go to.

2001
01:31:05,239 --> 01:31:08,680
Speaker 2: Boy, he was also in a motorcycle gang and he

2002
01:31:08,800 --> 01:31:10,760
liked bungee jumping John Cena, I believe it.

2003
01:31:10,800 --> 01:31:13,000
Speaker 1: Or he kept the pigeon coop. You could do, you

2004
01:31:13,039 --> 01:31:15,119
could do. Uh, look, I'm gonna I can make up

2005
01:31:15,159 --> 01:31:16,840
six things about the Pope. I mean I can do it. Well,

2006
01:31:16,880 --> 01:31:19,399
it's not that I'm not gonna hold you to Pope Francis.

2007
01:31:19,439 --> 01:31:22,560
Believe it or not, then your choice. We'll see. And

2008
01:31:22,680 --> 01:31:23,800
that was the news at noon.

2009
01:31:24,680 --> 01:31:27,119
Speaker 2: All right, Uh, if you miss any part of the

2010
01:31:27,239 --> 01:31:31,720
rocket scheme, I mean, a complete breakdown is coming up

2011
01:31:31,760 --> 01:31:34,880
in a matter of moments. It's fair to say it

2012
01:31:35,079 --> 01:31:39,159
is seven one three two one two five seven ninety

2013
01:31:39,560 --> 01:31:42,920
seven one three two one two five seven ninety. It

2014
01:31:43,000 --> 01:31:46,159
is the Matt Thomas Show with Ross twelve twenty Sports

2015
01:31:46,239 --> 01:31:48,479
Talk seven ninety. It is the Matt Thomas Show with Ross.

2016
01:31:48,520 --> 01:31:52,079
Speaker 1: Tamiko Ryans is speaking right now to the media first

2017
01:31:52,159 --> 01:31:55,359
day of texans OTA's Guess what He's feeling great about

2018
01:31:55,359 --> 01:31:58,439
the energy in the building, can't We're looking for guys

2019
01:31:58,439 --> 01:32:02,159
who want to play hard, play Texas football, play for

2020
01:32:02,279 --> 01:32:02,680
each other.

2021
01:32:02,920 --> 01:32:07,239
Speaker 2: Yes, it's warm mentality correct, all right, somebody's gonna work hard,

2022
01:32:07,359 --> 01:32:09,199
live for football. Those are the kinds. A lot of

2023
01:32:09,239 --> 01:32:11,680
good players in this draft, and I think we're gonna

2024
01:32:11,720 --> 01:32:16,800
have a good one. Yeah, unbelievably matched everything you just said.

2025
01:32:18,159 --> 01:32:21,319
Speaker 1: How about just win? I want wins. I didn't get

2026
01:32:21,359 --> 01:32:24,000
wins with my Cougars. I got my Rockets losing last

2027
01:32:24,079 --> 01:32:26,479
night because I can't hit three point shots. I want wins.

2028
01:32:26,760 --> 01:32:35,840
You got ten of them in a playoff. Wins, true,

2029
01:32:38,439 --> 01:32:41,399
all wins. I know some people thought they were gonna lose.

2030
01:32:41,479 --> 01:32:44,800
The Chargers were favored in that game. Texans took charge. Well,

2031
01:32:44,840 --> 01:32:47,079
as soon as the McNair sell, you'll get you're not

2032
01:32:47,199 --> 01:32:54,399
gonna sells run in things all quiet on the stadium front.

2033
01:32:55,800 --> 01:32:58,760
It's fine. Stadium runs, it operates, it's not dilapidated, has

2034
01:32:58,840 --> 01:33:03,720
not been condemned. You know, Hannah's going like, man, can

2035
01:33:03,760 --> 01:33:05,600
we find some things wrong with it? More things wrong

2036
01:33:05,640 --> 01:33:07,439
with it? Well we'll see.

2037
01:33:08,880 --> 01:33:10,359
Speaker 2: It really is going to be a back burner for

2038
01:33:10,479 --> 01:33:13,880
a while. But once it hits Ross, you bets be ready.

2039
01:33:14,039 --> 01:33:16,960
Speaker 1: You love stadium talk. I just love how people I

2040
01:33:17,119 --> 01:33:18,720
love because I've been there and done that.

2041
01:33:18,800 --> 01:33:21,640
Speaker 2: I've I've listened to the complete crap that owners tell

2042
01:33:21,640 --> 01:33:23,640
you about how they can't afford it and whatnot. If

2043
01:33:23,680 --> 01:33:26,359
anybody can afford it, it's the National Football leagy owners. Yes,

2044
01:33:27,760 --> 01:33:30,079
I mean the NBA is doing really really Wellbody wants

2045
01:33:30,760 --> 01:33:34,239
baseball is doing really well. They well, but NFL football

2046
01:33:34,399 --> 01:33:35,960
is doing it to epic proportions.

2047
01:33:36,039 --> 01:33:36,199
Speaker 3: Yeah.

2048
01:33:36,239 --> 01:33:38,800
Speaker 1: The last people that should be crying poor is them, correct.

2049
01:33:39,199 --> 01:33:41,319
Speaker 2: All right, let's go to the phones and talk to

2050
01:33:41,359 --> 01:33:43,720
the great people of Houston, Texas. Seven one three two

2051
01:33:43,800 --> 01:33:45,880
one two five seven eight. I will actually read a

2052
01:33:45,960 --> 01:33:49,399
few Dimico's statements here, but first let me get my

2053
01:33:49,439 --> 01:33:52,000
phone ready. First, Ross seven one three two one two

2054
01:33:52,199 --> 01:33:54,359
five seven ninety seven to one three. Oh, I got

2055
01:33:54,399 --> 01:33:58,640
you two one two five seven nine zero. Let's talk

2056
01:33:58,680 --> 01:34:02,079
to our friend, uh Gerrod of the Matt Thomas showed

2057
01:34:02,159 --> 01:34:03,760
Ross Gerard, good afternoon to you.

2058
01:34:04,840 --> 01:34:07,439
Speaker 6: Good afternoon to you, Matt. How's it going, Ross?

2059
01:34:08,000 --> 01:34:08,560
Speaker 1: Going great?

2060
01:34:09,720 --> 01:34:12,000
Speaker 6: Yeah? Speaking of the Texans before break down this game,

2061
01:34:12,279 --> 01:34:14,159
Cal McNew was at the Rocket game last night, so

2062
01:34:14,319 --> 01:34:16,359
was c J. Stroud. So the Texans was definitely in

2063
01:34:16,439 --> 01:34:19,960
the house supporting the local team just came up a

2064
01:34:20,000 --> 01:34:22,560
little bit short. Now when I can't called you guys,

2065
01:34:22,600 --> 01:34:24,600
I think it was Friday kind of bringing this game down.

2066
01:34:24,640 --> 01:34:26,399
I kind of told you that Steven Adams was gonna

2067
01:34:26,399 --> 01:34:28,960
be an integral part of the game plan because he's

2068
01:34:28,960 --> 01:34:30,760
a veteran, He's been in a lot of big games.

2069
01:34:31,399 --> 01:34:33,680
He's a guy that gonna crash the crash the boards,

2070
01:34:33,760 --> 01:34:35,760
get offensive rebound, and this is where the Rockers do

2071
01:34:35,840 --> 01:34:38,079
have the advantage over Golden State as far as side though.

2072
01:34:38,079 --> 01:34:40,000
They got to pay to their strengths and try to

2073
01:34:40,039 --> 01:34:43,960
minimize their weakness. Now, the backcourt did not do anything

2074
01:34:44,359 --> 01:34:47,760
for the most part of this game. James Green was bad,

2075
01:34:48,000 --> 01:34:49,520
But you got to give a dope a lot of credit.

2076
01:34:49,560 --> 01:34:50,960
He saw that he was bad and he put him

2077
01:34:50,960 --> 01:34:52,840
on the bench for large stretches of this game. So

2078
01:34:52,880 --> 01:34:54,720
I think that's what you're gonna see in this series.

2079
01:34:55,000 --> 01:34:57,600
If he don't have it going offensively, Jayson Green, you

2080
01:34:57,600 --> 01:34:58,840
gotta put him on the bench because he's one of

2081
01:34:58,880 --> 01:35:01,720
those players when he ain't gone going on the offensive end. Yeah,

2082
01:35:01,720 --> 01:35:03,880
to fix his defense, you know, and that that s

2083
01:35:03,960 --> 01:35:06,640
shouldn't be like that because with his athleticism, he should

2084
01:35:06,680 --> 01:35:10,399
be above level defensive player. But time and time again, man,

2085
01:35:10,399 --> 01:35:12,520
when his offensive bad, he don't play the type of

2086
01:35:12,560 --> 01:35:15,479
defense that he normally plays when he's scoring. So again

2087
01:35:15,600 --> 01:35:17,600
he's got to, uh, you know, he's got to make shots,

2088
01:35:17,640 --> 01:35:19,720
because what Golden State's gonna do. They're gonna pack the pain.

2089
01:35:19,720 --> 01:35:22,199
They're gonna dare him, dare him to beat them from

2090
01:35:22,239 --> 01:35:24,640
the outside if he can. If he's not making shots

2091
01:35:25,079 --> 01:35:28,159
on a consistent basis, he's gonna struggle throughout this series.

2092
01:35:28,640 --> 01:35:30,239
So that you know, the time that he did get

2093
01:35:30,279 --> 01:35:32,119
to the rim, you know, with some contact, but they

2094
01:35:32,159 --> 01:35:34,359
didn't call that. So this this was a learning experience

2095
01:35:34,359 --> 01:35:37,920
for Jamen Green. You got to play through contract uh contact.

2096
01:35:38,119 --> 01:35:39,800
You're not gonna get those calls like you got in

2097
01:35:39,840 --> 01:35:41,399
the record season where you go to the basket in

2098
01:35:41,399 --> 01:35:43,319
any kind of contact, you going to the free throw line,

2099
01:35:43,399 --> 01:35:44,880
They're not gonna give you the type of calls. So

2100
01:35:44,960 --> 01:35:47,079
you got to go there and try to dunk everything

2101
01:35:47,239 --> 01:35:50,640
at the rim. That's my advice to h Jalen Green. Now,

2102
01:35:50,680 --> 01:35:53,399
as far as his back court running mate Van Fleet,

2103
01:35:53,920 --> 01:35:55,600
van Fleet ain't really been a saint since he came

2104
01:35:55,680 --> 01:35:58,279
off that ankle injury. Outside a game here and there,

2105
01:35:58,319 --> 01:36:00,720
he's really struggling with his shot and definitely gonna need

2106
01:36:00,800 --> 01:36:04,159
to get him going because I think a lot of

2107
01:36:04,159 --> 01:36:05,880
these games gon gonna be coase in the fourth quarter.

2108
01:36:05,880 --> 01:36:08,000
And I think the go to guys for the Rockets

2109
01:36:08,119 --> 01:36:10,680
got to be some Goon and Van Fleet in the

2110
01:36:10,720 --> 01:36:12,920
pick and roll. Those got to be your main go

2111
01:36:13,079 --> 01:36:16,399
to guys. And the comeback with gold to State gonna

2112
01:36:16,399 --> 01:36:18,560
bring to the table in the fourth quarter with Steph

2113
01:36:18,640 --> 01:36:24,479
Kirby and Jimmy Butler. Now, like I said when going

2114
01:36:24,479 --> 01:36:25,720
into the City, I do believe the winn of the

2115
01:36:25,760 --> 01:36:27,560
series is going to the Western Conference Finals to play

2116
01:36:27,560 --> 01:36:29,760
Oklahoma City. I think both of these teams are at

2117
01:36:29,840 --> 01:36:32,520
least level with the defensive teams. But the difference is

2118
01:36:32,600 --> 01:36:34,439
the Rockets sometimes come down there they don't really know

2119
01:36:34,520 --> 01:36:37,239
what they're what they want to do in certain situations.

2120
01:36:37,359 --> 01:36:38,960
Golden State seems to have more of a plan on

2121
01:36:39,039 --> 01:36:40,960
what they want to do. I think their offense is

2122
01:36:41,000 --> 01:36:44,239
probably a little bit more versatile than the Rockets offense,

2123
01:36:44,640 --> 01:36:45,840
and it seems to be that she used to be

2124
01:36:45,880 --> 01:36:48,319
the difference the veterans. Veterans on Golden State team and

2125
01:36:48,800 --> 01:36:50,920
their offense is a little bit more versatile. You know,

2126
01:36:51,000 --> 01:36:53,000
they run a little bit form of their pristal style

2127
01:36:53,079 --> 01:36:55,159
offense where they they run a lot of sets and

2128
01:36:55,199 --> 01:36:57,199
get a lot of backdose screens and they got step

2129
01:36:57,319 --> 01:36:59,960
coming up for multiple picks. Draymond Green don't get a

2130
01:37:00,039 --> 01:37:01,920
lot of credit for this, but he's a great for

2131
01:37:02,079 --> 01:37:04,279
a sitting peaks. Him and Steven Happens. You probably looking

2132
01:37:04,279 --> 01:37:06,319
at the two best guys as far as sitting screens

2133
01:37:06,399 --> 01:37:10,680
in this series as Steven Adams and uh and and

2134
01:37:10,880 --> 01:37:13,600
uh and my boy uh I guess his name, and

2135
01:37:13,680 --> 01:37:16,079
then in the center Draymond Green them probably two best

2136
01:37:16,119 --> 01:37:18,640
screens sellers. And what uh Steve Kruz gonna actually do

2137
01:37:18,720 --> 01:37:20,720
is he's gonna play the goon straight up. They don't

2138
01:37:20,760 --> 01:37:23,000
want a double sagon and give open looks to the

2139
01:37:23,079 --> 01:37:25,359
Rockets shooter, so they gonna tell Draymond to play them

2140
01:37:25,399 --> 01:37:27,239
straight up. If the Goon go off, he go off.

2141
01:37:27,279 --> 01:37:29,279
But they're not gonna leave their shooter. So they're gonna

2142
01:37:29,279 --> 01:37:31,359
need to go the goon to continue to put up numbers,

2143
01:37:31,640 --> 01:37:33,800
and they gonna need Jayden Green to come to the party. Man,

2144
01:37:33,880 --> 01:37:37,279
Jayden Green don't have a good series. The Rockets gonna

2145
01:37:37,279 --> 01:37:38,479
be in trouble man, because he's got to be a

2146
01:37:38,520 --> 01:37:40,479
guy that gives you something on a perima, either him

2147
01:37:40,600 --> 01:37:42,800
or Van Fleet. I'm and Van fee as much is

2148
01:37:42,800 --> 01:37:44,159
the guy I'm really looking at because he's been in

2149
01:37:44,199 --> 01:37:47,720
this situation before, won a championship with Toronto. That's the

2150
01:37:47,760 --> 01:37:50,319
guy I'm really looking at. But Van Jayalen Green's got

2151
01:37:50,359 --> 01:37:52,199
to step up to the place. So this is a

2152
01:37:52,279 --> 01:37:54,000
good series as far as getting a gauge on what

2153
01:37:54,079 --> 01:37:56,399
the Rockets gonna do here going fullard, maybe what the

2154
01:37:56,439 --> 01:37:58,520
Rockets might need next year. So I'm kind of glad

2155
01:37:58,520 --> 01:38:00,760
they're gonna get the experience either way, if they advanced

2156
01:38:00,800 --> 01:38:02,520
or even if they lose, we're gonna get a good

2157
01:38:02,560 --> 01:38:05,600
paramea to Okay, Rockets need to do this in the offseason.

2158
01:38:05,640 --> 01:38:07,479
They got a good team, they got a bright future.

2159
01:38:07,479 --> 01:38:09,600
They going in the right direction. But maybe they don't

2160
01:38:09,640 --> 01:38:12,000
have that guy that can hit a bucket in the

2161
01:38:12,039 --> 01:38:14,119
fourth quarter when your offense is getting staggered and he

2162
01:38:14,159 --> 01:38:15,800
can they can clear the floor, left them go one

2163
01:38:15,840 --> 01:38:18,239
on one and get a good shot for himself before

2164
01:38:18,239 --> 01:38:20,199
his teammate. Maybe they don't have that guy. Daden Green

2165
01:38:20,319 --> 01:38:24,359
could be that guy, but so far guy, so uh

2166
01:38:24,560 --> 01:38:27,920
good learning spirits. Gotta win Game two, play defense, go

2167
01:38:28,039 --> 01:38:29,880
with the big lineup, like I said going into this

2168
01:38:30,000 --> 01:38:34,079
series with Steven Adamson doing and Jabarsmith played well, and

2169
01:38:34,159 --> 01:38:36,159
your back court probably gotta be a mean Thompson and

2170
01:38:36,279 --> 01:38:38,039
Van Fleet. I know a lot of people say it's

2171
01:38:38,079 --> 01:38:40,279
not gonna be no enough offense, but it's office that

2172
01:38:40,319 --> 01:38:42,680
are dog gonna go with the guys that play defense

2173
01:38:42,760 --> 01:38:44,800
and the guy that at least gonna try to attempt

2174
01:38:44,800 --> 01:38:46,359
to be aggressive and take it to the basket and

2175
01:38:46,399 --> 01:38:49,479
look for their offense and play a play elite level

2176
01:38:49,479 --> 01:38:50,960
of defense. That's what he That's the line of people

2177
01:38:50,960 --> 01:38:53,279
don't go with. If you come push up, come come hell,

2178
01:38:53,319 --> 01:38:55,000
or come high water. He's gonna go with that lineup.

2179
01:38:55,079 --> 01:38:58,159
So again, look for the defense to be what like

2180
01:38:58,239 --> 01:39:00,600
it was and hopefully get bet up. Remember to play

2181
01:39:00,760 --> 01:39:02,520
not to be the key to victory for Game.

2182
01:39:02,439 --> 01:39:09,039
Speaker 2: Two coming up next to the A team here on

2183
01:39:09,199 --> 01:39:13,119
Sports Talk seven, Ari, thank you, Grod shows over, folks.

2184
01:39:13,880 --> 01:39:15,800

2185
01:39:16,319 --> 01:39:19,000

a record. This is five. Please call it. Please call

2187
01:39:22,720 --> 01:39:25,800

2191
01:39:34,600 --> 01:39:35,439
I have been.

2192
01:39:37,199 --> 01:39:42,600
Speaker 2: In broadcasting for since nineteen ninety one and on there

2193
01:39:42,680 --> 01:39:46,840
since nineteen ninety two, so we're looking at thirty three years, okay.

2194
01:39:47,319 --> 01:39:50,600
And I have have done speeches before, I've called play

2195
01:39:50,640 --> 01:39:55,479
by play, and I've also had to monologue during a

2196
01:39:55,560 --> 01:39:56,479
segment during a show.

2197
01:39:57,399 --> 01:39:57,760
Speaker 1: Uh huh.

2198
01:40:01,159 --> 01:40:06,880
Speaker 2: Four point fifty five with out of breath is flat

2199
01:40:06,920 --> 01:40:10,840
out remarkable. You should be a pearl diver. Let me

2200
01:40:10,880 --> 01:40:12,479
tell you about Gerard. First of all, I love his

2201
01:40:12,600 --> 01:40:13,199
passion for it.

2202
01:40:13,439 --> 01:40:13,640
Speaker 1: Yes.

2203
01:40:13,920 --> 01:40:17,800
Speaker 2: Secondly, when he goes scuba diving, he doesn't need oxygen.

2204
01:40:22,760 --> 01:40:27,159
I mean, I don't know what else I could. There

2205
01:40:27,279 --> 01:40:30,079
is absolutely nothing that could he could possibly add to

2206
01:40:30,159 --> 01:40:37,319
that conversation. I had a cigarette. I don't even smoke

2207
01:40:37,520 --> 01:40:38,640
fulled up shop.

2208
01:40:40,319 --> 01:40:40,600
Speaker 4: You know what.

2209
01:40:40,760 --> 01:40:43,960
Speaker 2: We all would take time off occasionally. I think Girod

2210
01:40:44,039 --> 01:40:46,000
just come in and just do the show like Gerrod.

2211
01:40:46,159 --> 01:40:54,920
Five segments, same, five rotating topics, rotate, repeat, show's done.

2212
01:40:55,279 --> 01:40:56,840
I think they could use him on the Senate floor

2213
01:40:56,840 --> 01:41:02,760
when they need a filibuster. I mean wex is actually

2214
01:41:02,840 --> 01:41:07,720
jealous of this guy. That's that's an that's an all timer.

2215
01:41:07,800 --> 01:41:10,000
That's a got to beat. That's an all timer.

2216
01:41:10,119 --> 01:41:15,279
Speaker 1: Right ashes game one of the playoffs, Uh imagine menage

2217
01:41:15,319 --> 01:41:17,920

me ask you this, is there anything that that that

2221
01:41:28,439 --> 01:41:30,680
Girod said that you disagree with in at four fifty five.

2222
01:41:31,079 --> 01:41:35,199
I don't remember seven one three, two one two five

2223

2228
01:41:48,079 --> 01:41:49,279

2229
01:41:49,479 --> 01:41:51,840
Speaker 1: So we'll leave it up to you whatever you want

2230

2231
01:41:54,640 --> 01:41:56,000
really good youth baseball player.

2232
01:41:56,319 --> 01:42:00,439
Speaker 2: Actually, Uh, both sides of the plane on a claim

2233
01:42:00,680 --> 01:42:04,199
is that the Vatican city record yeah for home runs.

2234
01:42:05,000 --> 01:42:08,159
Speaker 1: In the Little League. Hm hmm, straightaway center field was

2235
01:42:08,199 --> 01:42:11,359
only two seventy five though they called him the miracle man.

2236
01:42:11,560 --> 01:42:11,920
Speaker 23: They did.

2237
01:42:12,159 --> 01:42:14,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, no wonder he moved on to the to the

2238
01:42:14,279 --> 01:42:15,520
clergy all right.

2239
01:42:15,600 --> 01:42:19,039
Speaker 2: Seven one three two one two five seven nine zero

2240
01:42:19,199 --> 01:42:20,479
is how you reach a show if you want to

2241
01:42:20,520 --> 01:42:23,439
get in seven one three two one two five seven ninety.

2242
01:42:23,479 --> 01:42:27,479
Couple of things from uh Jonathan Alexander, who covers the

2243
01:42:27,560 --> 01:42:29,880
Texans for The Chronicle. These are quotes coming off of

2244
01:42:29,960 --> 01:42:36,119
his Twitter account. Demiko Ryan's Ota Spigan to day said

2245
01:42:36,359 --> 01:42:38,920
that it's an energy lifter being in the building on

2246
01:42:39,000 --> 01:42:41,399
the first day seeing some old and some new faces.

2247
01:42:42,640 --> 01:42:45,760
That sunds about right right, Okay, Okay, nothing crazy there,

2248
01:42:46,439 --> 01:42:48,680
Demiko says. At this point, the culture is set. They

2249
01:42:48,720 --> 01:42:50,640
have players who have been with the franchise for three

2250
01:42:50,720 --> 01:42:52,600
years who established the culture and teach it of the

2251
01:42:52,640 --> 01:42:53,279
newer players.

2252
01:42:54,920 --> 01:43:00,880
Speaker 1: Wonderful, Okay, culture establishment is That's why I learned Tounsil's gone.

2253
01:43:01,000 --> 01:43:01,920
What is the culture right now?

2254
01:43:02,279 --> 01:43:04,359
Speaker 2: The culture is supposed to be playing for one another

2255
01:43:04,600 --> 01:43:08,960
and team first, not me first. Maybe you feel like

2256
01:43:09,159 --> 01:43:11,199
Larrman Tensil fit that bill. It doesn't seem like to me.

2257
01:43:11,760 --> 01:43:14,239
Speaker 1: Are there thirty two teams that are practicing in OTA's

2258
01:43:14,279 --> 01:43:16,239
this week, if they have bad culture today, I mean,

2259
01:43:16,439 --> 01:43:18,399
if you have bad culture right now in April, not

2260
01:43:18,479 --> 01:43:21,439
seeing the Texans do. But I think I would assume

2261
01:43:21,479 --> 01:43:24,000
that everybody is saying the culture in their building is really.

2262
01:43:23,880 --> 01:43:25,640
Speaker 2: I think culture is real. I think it is a

2263
01:43:25,720 --> 01:43:27,359
real thing. I think we've seen it with the Rockets.

2264
01:43:27,359 --> 01:43:28,840
I think we've seen it with the Astros, and I

2265
01:43:28,880 --> 01:43:31,319
think you're seeing it with the Texans. That there can

2266
01:43:31,439 --> 01:43:35,159
be a culture of either a complacency or things. I

2267
01:43:35,239 --> 01:43:37,039
think you see it in college football as well all

2268
01:43:37,079 --> 01:43:37,399
the time.

2269
01:43:37,600 --> 01:43:37,720
Speaker 20: Right.

2270
01:43:38,359 --> 01:43:41,039
Speaker 2: I think to Tom Herman put Tom Herman, culture and

2271
01:43:41,039 --> 01:43:42,199
the Steve's are keys in culture.

2272
01:43:42,319 --> 01:43:44,520
Speaker 1: Way different for the Texas Longhorns.

2273
01:43:44,640 --> 01:43:48,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, never being happy and just settling on the message

2274
01:43:48,760 --> 01:43:50,760
that he told his team today, quote, be where your

2275
01:43:50,840 --> 01:43:53,319
feet are, let's be connected, let's talk to our teammates,

2276
01:43:53,399 --> 01:43:55,680
Let's not be on our cell phones. Heads down, Let's

2277
01:43:55,720 --> 01:43:56,560
have lunch with each other.

2278
01:43:56,840 --> 01:43:57,119
Speaker 12: You know what.

2279
01:43:57,560 --> 01:44:00,119
Speaker 1: That's a message to be should for every child to

2280
01:44:00,159 --> 01:44:02,279
the age of twenty in America today. Yeah, man, let's

2281
01:44:02,279 --> 01:44:04,319
have lunch with each other. No, I don't. I'm talking

2282
01:44:04,319 --> 01:44:05,720
about my children, not you.

2283
01:44:06,000 --> 01:44:11,680
Speaker 2: Oh uh, as concerning the draft, and Miko says, quote,

2284
01:44:11,720 --> 01:44:13,840
we won't pass up a top player on our board

2285
01:44:13,960 --> 01:44:15,960
just because we have a need a certain position. See,

2286
01:44:17,680 --> 01:44:19,239
we have a broad view of how we want to

2287
01:44:19,319 --> 01:44:21,920
enhance our team. If it's a position, if it's a position,

2288
01:44:22,039 --> 01:44:23,920
there a player that can change our team, we're going

2289
01:44:24,000 --> 01:44:24,520
to take that guy.

2290
01:44:24,560 --> 01:44:25,319
Speaker 1: Well, I would assume.

2291
01:44:25,359 --> 01:44:28,680
Speaker 2: So, I mean, yeah, these are nothing overly profound in

2292
01:44:28,720 --> 01:44:30,319
that they're not going to draft on need. They're going

2293
01:44:30,359 --> 01:44:35,279
to draft best player available, except for quarterback. That would

2294
01:44:35,279 --> 01:44:36,039
be something though.

2295
01:44:36,880 --> 01:44:39,119
Speaker 1: That's not gonna happen. No, I'd be shocked. Well, and

2296
01:44:39,199 --> 01:44:41,960
then after the first round, I should say after that, honestly,

2297
01:44:42,000 --> 01:44:42,840
you shouldn't be shocked.

2298
01:44:43,239 --> 01:44:46,640
Speaker 2: What is Davis Mills contract status? He was a demico

2299
01:44:46,760 --> 01:44:50,279
first year, not a demiico, he was a last year. Yeah,

2300
01:44:52,319 --> 01:44:54,680
you know, these backup quarterbacks are making five six million

2301
01:44:54,680 --> 01:44:56,880
dollars a year, some of them more. I mean, it's

2302
01:44:56,920 --> 01:45:01,960
the greatest insurance policy in sports today, because even if

2303
01:45:02,000 --> 01:45:04,479
you're a left handed reliever ross, you still have to

2304
01:45:04,560 --> 01:45:06,680
go pitch, you still have to go get outs, and

2305
01:45:06,760 --> 01:45:09,800
you still are leaving yourself up susceptible to potential injury.

2306
01:45:09,880 --> 01:45:12,000
Speaker 1: Tommy john elbow injury, forearm injury.

2307
01:45:12,199 --> 01:45:14,560
Speaker 2: Your backup quarterback, as long as your quarterback is in

2308
01:45:14,600 --> 01:45:16,079
front of you, is decent and upright.

2309
01:45:16,640 --> 01:45:20,199
Speaker 1: You're playing justin fields on a two year, forty million

2310
01:45:20,239 --> 01:45:24,560
dollar contract, isn't what's Russell Wilson getting paid? Aren't they

2311
01:45:24,640 --> 01:45:30,119
paying him decent money? And what's his name? The thirty

2312
01:45:30,159 --> 01:45:33,439
for thirty U Jameis Winston.

2313
01:45:33,760 --> 01:45:35,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I mean Kirk Cousins made good money to

2314
01:45:36,279 --> 01:45:43,159
eventually be a backup to Michael Pennocks in Atlanta. Just

2315
01:45:43,279 --> 01:45:45,720
have some assemblance of some sort of career and you're

2316
01:45:45,760 --> 01:45:46,760
gonna make a lot of money.

2317
01:45:47,079 --> 01:45:48,199
Speaker 1: You know what it is?

2318
01:45:48,640 --> 01:45:51,199
Speaker 2: Being a quarterback in the NFL is like being a

2319
01:45:51,239 --> 01:45:55,199
one hit wonder. You can have one or two hits

2320
01:45:55,199 --> 01:45:58,119
as a performer and then go run around at casinos

2321
01:45:58,119 --> 01:46:00,760
across this country and make money backup quarterback.

2322
01:46:00,800 --> 01:46:02,760
Speaker 1: You throw for one three hundred yard game in your

2323
01:46:02,840 --> 01:46:04,680
NFL career, you're set for the next five or six

2324
01:46:04,800 --> 01:46:06,600
year You don't even need that some of them. Yeah,

2325
01:46:07,680 --> 01:46:09,880
by the way, Jameis Winston's only making four million, so

2326
01:46:09,920 --> 01:46:11,000
I thought it was more than that, But.

2327
01:46:11,039 --> 01:46:12,800
Speaker 2: I mean that's still a pretty good jump to change

2328
01:46:12,840 --> 01:46:15,119
for not to actively ever step on the field unless

2329
01:46:15,119 --> 01:46:18,800
you're in mop up duty or because somebody needs a break. Now,

2330
01:46:18,880 --> 01:46:21,319
if you and the question is, how much do you

2331
01:46:21,359 --> 01:46:23,039
want to spend on a backup quarterback in case your

2332
01:46:23,079 --> 01:46:25,239
number one guy gets hurt? And how far of drop

2333
01:46:25,319 --> 01:46:28,359
off is it between one and two CJ to Davis Mills.

2334
01:46:28,520 --> 01:46:29,600
Is a significant drop off?

2335
01:46:32,760 --> 01:46:36,199
Speaker 1: Yes? And CJ knows that right, and Davis knows that correct. No,

2336
01:46:36,479 --> 01:46:40,279
Davis thinks he's ready for his time to shine. It's

2337
01:46:40,359 --> 01:46:41,119
been working hard.

2338
01:46:41,319 --> 01:46:42,760
Speaker 2: If we went to lunch, you're talking about going to

2339
01:46:42,800 --> 01:46:44,960
lunch with people. We went to lunch with Davis Mills

2340
01:46:45,039 --> 01:46:46,600
right now. Do you think he's thinking, Man, I got

2341
01:46:46,720 --> 01:46:48,399
to get out of here and get myself by mojo

2342
01:46:48,479 --> 01:46:50,359
back because I was a starting quarterback at one point

2343
01:46:50,359 --> 01:46:50,880
in the NFL.

2344
01:46:52,760 --> 01:46:53,560
Speaker 1: Or do you think you know what?

2345
01:46:54,079 --> 01:46:55,800
Speaker 2: You think you'll wear a turtleneck? Do you think well

2346
01:46:55,880 --> 01:46:59,720
man without going without saying, or do you think he's thinking, Look,

2347
01:46:59,840 --> 01:47:03,920
I know my name, my egg. My brain cells are

2348
01:47:03,960 --> 01:47:06,560
not scrambled up. I'm able to walk and talk and

2349
01:47:06,640 --> 01:47:08,399
chew gum at the same time. Yes, I've made a

2350
01:47:08,439 --> 01:47:11,520
pretty good chunk of change. Yes, And I don't have

2351
01:47:11,640 --> 01:47:13,800
the wear and tear that most NFL quarterbacks go through.

2352
01:47:13,960 --> 01:47:14,720
I'm pretty blessed.

2353
01:47:15,239 --> 01:47:17,159
Speaker 1: I think Davis Mills living a good life. I think

2354
01:47:17,159 --> 01:47:20,119
he knows that. I think that he thinks that can

2355
01:47:20,159 --> 01:47:22,840
help the team win. If CJ. Stroud gets hurt, if

2356
01:47:22,880 --> 01:47:24,920
he doesn't believe that he shouldn't be on an NFL.

2357
01:47:24,720 --> 01:47:26,680
Speaker 2: Ross, I know I don't disagree with that, but I'm

2358
01:47:26,720 --> 01:47:29,640
just how much in the is the inner burning of

2359
01:47:29,840 --> 01:47:31,800
I want to go start one more time?

2360
01:47:33,279 --> 01:47:35,079
Speaker 1: Or do quarterbacks? And this is MA I guess would

2361
01:47:35,079 --> 01:47:37,880
be a better question for Sean Salisbury. Do you then go?

2362
01:47:38,119 --> 01:47:38,439
Speaker 16: You know what?

2363
01:47:38,760 --> 01:47:39,600
Speaker 1: I know who I am.

2364
01:47:41,000 --> 01:47:43,760
Speaker 2: I've got a nice comfortable spot as a backup. I

2365
01:47:44,039 --> 01:47:45,640
just know that if they need me for a couple

2366
01:47:45,680 --> 01:47:47,680
of series here or a game there, I can help.

2367
01:47:47,760 --> 01:47:51,399
But the reality is I'm maybe not a seventeen game

2368
01:47:51,640 --> 01:47:53,520
starter in the Nationals. I think, Yeah, at some point,

2369
01:47:53,520 --> 01:47:55,720
I don't know if he's accepted reality, but everybody at

2370
01:47:55,760 --> 01:47:57,840
some point in their life, and you're unless you're the

2371
01:47:57,880 --> 01:47:59,960
greatest of all time, at something I have to accept

2372
01:48:00,159 --> 01:48:02,039
the reality that somebody out there is better than you.

2373
01:48:03,399 --> 01:48:06,199
Speaker 1: I realize that all the time tended to Yeah, I

2374
01:48:06,359 --> 01:48:09,760
know I know you do. That's what I'm here for. Matt.

2375
01:48:09,840 --> 01:48:11,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like, I'm I'm in tenth grade on the

2376
01:48:11,520 --> 01:48:14,119
football team. I'm like, I think I've hit my limit.

2377
01:48:14,239 --> 01:48:16,399
I am getting crushed every day in practice and it

2378
01:48:16,479 --> 01:48:17,960
was one hundred and four degrees out here.

2379
01:48:18,359 --> 01:48:22,880
Speaker 1: It's time to switch to tennis. And that's what I did. Like,

2380
01:48:22,960 --> 01:48:25,359
I don't think I'm going to make the NFS part. Yeah,

2381
01:48:25,720 --> 01:48:28,760
you know, I hit for track? Is that what happened?

2382
01:48:28,760 --> 01:48:30,359
Speaker 2: You're like, you know what, these guys are faster than me.

2383
01:48:31,199 --> 01:48:32,920
You you hit it point and you're, oh, that's where

2384
01:48:32,920 --> 01:48:35,680
you switched the track from football. You're like, this is terrible.

2385
01:48:36,039 --> 01:48:39,159
Middle school was rough. Yeah, you went from middle school

2386
01:48:39,239 --> 01:48:41,960
football to track and field. Yes, because you could run,

2387
01:48:42,000 --> 01:48:42,880
you just couldn't catch.

2388
01:48:43,079 --> 01:48:48,000
Speaker 1: No, Exactly. I play safety, so I could. Yeah. You

2389
01:48:48,199 --> 01:48:50,439
just you find it out. So Davis Mills, at some point,

2390
01:48:50,840 --> 01:48:53,880
I would imagine it's going to accept the reality I

2391
01:48:54,000 --> 01:48:55,760
am not a starting quarterback in the NFL.

2392
01:48:55,800 --> 01:48:57,680
Speaker 2: Oh, I'm sure he's had that reality in his head

2393
01:48:57,720 --> 01:48:59,520
for a couple of years now, maybe in the back

2394
01:48:59,560 --> 01:48:59,720
of it.

2395
01:49:00,000 --> 01:49:01,760
Speaker 1: And he's convincing himself he can still do it. Who

2396
01:49:01,840 --> 01:49:03,439
knows That's what I'm saying. I mean, what, at what

2397
01:49:03,640 --> 01:49:04,239
point do you go?

2398
01:49:04,439 --> 01:49:07,319
Speaker 2: You know what, I think I can do it, but

2399
01:49:07,439 --> 01:49:09,880
I'm making a real nice living and I am able

2400
01:49:09,920 --> 01:49:11,359
to walk and not use a cane.

2401
01:49:12,479 --> 01:49:14,560
Speaker 1: There's something to be said for that. Look at case Kenan.

2402
01:49:14,640 --> 01:49:16,800
Speaker 2: You think Case Case keenu is Now, what is it

2403
01:49:16,960 --> 01:49:19,479
he went to backup somewhere in the Midwest that he

2404
01:49:19,560 --> 01:49:21,920
goes back to the Bears, the Iowa Barnstormers. No, no, no,

2405
01:49:22,159 --> 01:49:24,680
it was somebody in the NFL. But he's in the

2406
01:49:24,720 --> 01:49:26,760
same spot. He's like, yeah, I can't guess I could

2407
01:49:26,760 --> 01:49:28,239
start a couple of games here and there, but I'd

2408
01:49:28,319 --> 01:49:30,000
rather just move around from team to team to team

2409
01:49:30,039 --> 01:49:31,399
and make a lot of money. Yeah I didn't colle

2410
01:49:31,439 --> 01:49:34,319
McCoy hang him up last year. Yeah he was a

2411
01:49:34,439 --> 01:49:40,600
Chase Daniel made up fifteen year NFL. Well, I mean

2412
01:49:40,760 --> 01:49:44,039
there's something to be said for that, having just enough

2413
01:49:44,159 --> 01:49:47,880
athletic ability to do it, but yet know that you

2414
01:49:48,159 --> 01:49:52,680
just can't do it week in and week out. And

2415
01:49:52,800 --> 01:49:55,680
let's see j Stroutware all you know where you know now? Granted,

2416
01:49:55,880 --> 01:49:59,880
the difference between starting quarterback money to backup is is sight.

2417
01:50:00,319 --> 01:50:04,479
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean CJ. Strott.

2418
01:50:04,560 --> 01:50:06,279
Speaker 2: Look, have you seen this offensive line? He can go

2419
01:50:06,359 --> 01:50:07,960
down and you might need Davis Mills for a couple

2420
01:50:07,960 --> 01:50:10,239
of games, and he's capable. You can win games with

2421
01:50:10,399 --> 01:50:11,000
Davis Mills.

2422
01:50:11,960 --> 01:50:13,479
Speaker 1: Are we going to spend all year talking about that

2423
01:50:13,479 --> 01:50:15,239
offensive line again? Aren't we? I think so.

2424
01:50:16,840 --> 01:50:20,079
Speaker 2: Because two years ago we felt great about it, even

2425
01:50:20,119 --> 01:50:22,119
though we did a last year, I felt pretty good, right.

2426
01:50:22,119 --> 01:50:25,079
Speaker 1: Right, right right? Yeah, but Jack Mason took a step back,

2427
01:50:25,399 --> 01:50:26,239
you had some injuries.

2428
01:50:27,760 --> 01:50:30,439
Speaker 2: The thing that's hard, the hardest for people to comprehend,

2429
01:50:30,479 --> 01:50:33,239
and I get it, especially on the outside, is that

2430
01:50:33,760 --> 01:50:36,479
you had a poorest offensive line, your worst offensive line,

2431
01:50:37,119 --> 01:50:39,680
uh maybe since the early Texans days and certainly one

2432
01:50:39,720 --> 01:50:41,439
of the five wars in the NFL this past year,

2433
01:50:41,720 --> 01:50:42,880
and you got rid of your best guy.

2434
01:50:45,079 --> 01:50:48,479
Speaker 1: That's culture. That's an if then statement that typically doesn't

2435
01:50:48,479 --> 01:50:49,840
make sense. Now, you know, I've not been the biggest

2436
01:50:49,880 --> 01:50:52,239
larming to you know, you hate him. I didn't hate him.

2437
01:50:52,279 --> 01:50:55,239
I just think it was vastly overrated, not a team guy.

2438
01:50:55,319 --> 01:50:56,760
But sure of that he was great. So he wasn't

2439
01:50:56,760 --> 01:50:58,880
and that's why he's gone. Yeah, but you can know

2440
01:50:59,000 --> 01:51:01,199
all that team and culture and swarm and play for

2441
01:51:01,319 --> 01:51:03,760
you and play for us. But I don't matter when

2442
01:51:03,800 --> 01:51:05,600
Miles Garrett's lined up on the other side. That's what

2443
01:51:05,680 --> 01:51:06,319
I'm worried about.

2444
01:51:06,920 --> 01:51:08,079
Speaker 3: Do you think is like?

2445
01:51:08,439 --> 01:51:08,840
Speaker 13: Is this like?

2446
01:51:09,199 --> 01:51:10,359
Speaker 3: Do he text? Is this real?

2447
01:51:10,479 --> 01:51:13,119
Speaker 2: Does this really happens? Not that bad, It's not like

2448
01:51:13,159 --> 01:51:17,079
the Luca trade. He texts over to uh, Damiico, walk

2449
01:51:17,159 --> 01:51:17,640
me through this.

2450
01:51:18,359 --> 01:51:22,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe I think he knew. I think he knows.

2451
01:51:22,159 --> 01:51:25,239
I think CJ. Shroud is absolutely bought in and a big,

2452
01:51:25,560 --> 01:51:28,159
big part of somebody as somebody who fosters this culture

2453
01:51:28,199 --> 01:51:31,319
of everybody playing for each other. Yeah, and part of

2454
01:51:31,399 --> 01:51:33,520
it too, is I think he knows is that he knew.

2455
01:51:33,359 --> 01:51:35,199
Speaker 2: He had people on the defensive side of the had

2456
01:51:35,239 --> 01:51:38,079
to get paid, and that he knows at some point

2457
01:51:38,239 --> 01:51:39,159
he has to get paid.

2458
01:51:39,439 --> 01:51:45,319
Speaker 1: Yep. So when in doubt, in CJ's mind, he's probably

2459
01:51:45,399 --> 01:51:49,279
going just give me a decent offensive line to keep

2460
01:51:49,319 --> 01:51:49,880
me up right.

2461
01:51:50,000 --> 01:51:51,920
Speaker 2: I don't need I don't need five seconds of protection.

2462
01:51:52,000 --> 01:51:53,760
I'm elusive, I can do some things. I can move

2463
01:51:53,760 --> 01:51:55,640
around in the pocket. I've done it before. I haven't

2464
01:51:55,640 --> 01:51:58,600
had a great offensive line ever. Just keep me upright

2465
01:51:59,680 --> 01:52:01,439
and well, importantly, get me paid in a couple of years,

2466
01:52:01,479 --> 01:52:02,880
because his time's coming pretty soon.

2467
01:52:03,760 --> 01:52:04,239
Speaker 1: It really is.

2468
01:52:05,039 --> 01:52:07,239
Speaker 2: Twelve forty four. Sports Talk seven on eight is the

2469
01:52:07,279 --> 01:52:12,319
Matt Thomas Show with Ross. Rockets falling last night to

2470
01:52:12,479 --> 01:52:14,960
game Golden State in Game one at the NBA Western

2471
01:52:15,000 --> 01:52:17,800
Conference First Round Series. The Astros fall to the San

2472
01:52:17,840 --> 01:52:21,880
Diego Padres. That's on the topic of the conversation. If

2473
01:52:21,920 --> 01:52:23,960
you want to jump in seven one three, two, one

2474
01:52:24,039 --> 01:52:28,279
two five seven nine zero, All right.

2475
01:52:28,279 --> 01:52:31,880
Speaker 1: Twelve fifty one on The Matt Thomas Show with Ross.

2476
01:52:31,960 --> 01:52:34,319
We are taking this program until two o'clock today.

2477
01:52:36,960 --> 01:52:41,359
Speaker 2: So the building was full last night. There weren't a

2478
01:52:41,399 --> 01:52:43,520
whole lot of Steph Curry fans out there. There were

2479
01:52:43,520 --> 01:52:46,000
a few, quite. I mean, look, every team's gonna have

2480
01:52:46,039 --> 01:52:48,159
other teams, and STEP's one of the is the greatest

2481
01:52:48,239 --> 01:52:50,520
jump shooter of all time and very popular. And Golden

2482
01:52:50,520 --> 01:52:53,239
States won a bunch of championships, so I would be

2483
01:52:53,399 --> 01:52:55,279
naive not to think that there weren't going to be

2484
01:52:55,319 --> 01:52:57,520
a fair number of Golden State jerseys in the building.

2485
01:52:57,560 --> 01:53:01,399
But I thought, relatively speaking compared to previous year, that

2486
01:53:01,520 --> 01:53:05,760
if you went to the Rockets game, you did your job,

2487
01:53:05,880 --> 01:53:08,880
You were loud, you were rooting, for the right basketball team.

2488
01:53:08,960 --> 01:53:11,479
You had the good vibe going and then unfortunately you

2489
01:53:11,640 --> 01:53:13,960
just had a big problem with the second quarter in

2490
01:53:14,000 --> 01:53:17,199
how Golden State pulled away after outscoring the Rockets twenty

2491
01:53:17,279 --> 01:53:21,960
nine to thirteen. I want to ask this question to

2492
01:53:22,119 --> 01:53:24,720
those of you that I would you would consider yourselves

2493
01:53:24,800 --> 01:53:30,319
to be fringe NBA or fringe Rocket fans. And this

2494
01:53:30,479 --> 01:53:34,680
was what I was somewhat afraid of. And I hope

2495
01:53:34,800 --> 01:53:39,359
that you guys are smarter than what I'm about to describe,

2496
01:53:39,960 --> 01:53:45,880
But sports fans can be finicking. Did I grab some

2497
01:53:46,079 --> 01:53:50,840
of you and then lose you because of the game

2498
01:53:50,920 --> 01:53:55,000
one loss? Now, if you're a Rocket fan, through and

2499
01:53:55,079 --> 01:53:59,199
through you, yesterday was not a shock. It was not

2500
01:53:59,319 --> 01:54:03,600
a It was on an up set. Golden State is

2501
01:54:03,640 --> 01:54:06,479
a team that has been there, done that, a team

2502
01:54:06,520 --> 01:54:08,840
of plenty of a playoff experience, and they're not acting

2503
01:54:08,920 --> 01:54:12,760
like a seven seeded team. But there are quite a

2504
01:54:12,840 --> 01:54:16,880
few people that don't necessarily gravitate towards the NBA until

2505
01:54:16,920 --> 01:54:22,600
it comes postseason time, and I understand that. My question

2506
01:54:22,760 --> 01:54:25,079
I wanted to throw out there was if this was

2507
01:54:25,159 --> 01:54:29,800
your first impression, your first glimpse of a Rocket team

2508
01:54:29,840 --> 01:54:34,000
in a while did you go up same old Rockets

2509
01:54:34,479 --> 01:54:37,720
or did you go you know what? I know last

2510
01:54:37,760 --> 01:54:40,359
night was bad, but there was a nice vibe in

2511
01:54:40,399 --> 01:54:44,079
the building. The crowd looked like they're engaged. It's nice

2512
01:54:44,159 --> 01:54:46,960
at playoff basketball again. What I'm afraid of Ross is

2513
01:54:48,239 --> 01:54:51,239
is that we got a fringe group of people out there. Look,

2514
01:54:51,279 --> 01:54:53,039
we're not a great NBA city, which is not It's

2515
01:54:53,039 --> 01:54:54,680
gonna have to take a championship for that to happen.

2516
01:54:55,000 --> 01:54:57,159
And just like just like the Astros, like we were

2517
01:54:57,239 --> 01:54:59,800
not a great baseball town in twenty thirteen, we just weren't.

2518
01:55:00,159 --> 01:55:01,720
Speaker 1: We weren't in Houston.

2519
01:55:01,840 --> 01:55:01,880
Speaker 12: No.

2520
01:55:02,119 --> 01:55:05,239
Speaker 2: I mean, ultimately, when you become great in anything, it's

2521
01:55:05,279 --> 01:55:09,039
because your team has had some sort of championship express success.

2522
01:55:09,880 --> 01:55:12,119
The reason why the Dodgers are better than the Angels

2523
01:55:12,159 --> 01:55:14,279
in Los Angeles just because the Dodgers have won a

2524
01:55:14,319 --> 01:55:15,000
World Series.

2525
01:55:16,159 --> 01:55:19,199
Speaker 1: Yeah, Yankees, Mats, I mean, I mean.

2526
01:55:21,239 --> 01:55:25,000
Speaker 2: The bull The Bulls were made Chicago basketball town for

2527
01:55:25,079 --> 01:55:27,159
the longest time because the Bulls had Michael John winning

2528
01:55:27,159 --> 01:55:30,560
almost championship. Championships breed what you are as a town.

2529
01:55:30,760 --> 01:55:32,399
I've never been to a sports city in my life.

2530
01:55:32,399 --> 01:55:36,720
To go man, the New England Patriots have won three

2531
01:55:36,760 --> 01:55:40,199
Super Bowls, but they're not real big on them. Usually

2532
01:55:40,279 --> 01:55:42,880
takes winning to get to these things. My point is

2533
01:55:42,960 --> 01:55:47,319
is that I I'm afraid that the fringe got in

2534
01:55:47,520 --> 01:55:50,840
last night. Watched it as they were settling in and

2535
01:55:51,000 --> 01:55:54,439
were like, I can't shoot, can't make the three, turn

2536
01:55:54,560 --> 01:55:56,560
the ball over, same old.

2537
01:55:56,560 --> 01:56:00,600
Speaker 1: Rock as around. I'm afraid some of that crept in.

2538
01:56:00,720 --> 01:56:02,520
Well it might have, but that's on this team. You

2539
01:56:02,600 --> 01:56:04,039
gotta play better, you gotta knock down threes.

2540
01:56:04,079 --> 01:56:08,520
Speaker 2: I mean, it's they they what was their problem last

2541
01:56:08,600 --> 01:56:10,359
night was a lot of what has been their problem

2542
01:56:10,439 --> 01:56:13,159
this year, and that is the three point shooting, that

2543
01:56:13,319 --> 01:56:15,800
is the free throw shooting, and it is the lack

2544
01:56:15,840 --> 01:56:18,439
of offense. It's exactly, I mean, it kind of is

2545
01:56:18,520 --> 01:56:21,199
what we saw from this. They played great defense, they

2546
01:56:21,279 --> 01:56:23,520
played really well, and they cross the offensive boards.

2547
01:56:23,800 --> 01:56:26,239
Speaker 1: They couldn't shoot, they couldn't hit a lick. Fred van

2548
01:56:26,279 --> 01:56:28,560
Vliet went two for thirteen from three. We've seen that before.

2549
01:56:28,560 --> 01:56:29,720
I've seen that all season long.

2550
01:56:30,720 --> 01:56:32,479
Speaker 2: So I mean, I don't think that was some kind

2551
01:56:32,520 --> 01:56:34,800
of gross misrepresentation of who the astro, I mean, who

2552
01:56:34,840 --> 01:56:35,439
the Rockets are.

2553
01:56:37,319 --> 01:56:39,479
Speaker 1: I would just like to have.

2554
01:56:40,079 --> 01:56:41,960
Speaker 2: More of an NBA buzz, and I just felt like

2555
01:56:42,000 --> 01:56:43,720
there was a group of people last night that probably

2556
01:56:44,000 --> 01:56:45,439
had just checked in for the first seven a.

2557
01:56:45,439 --> 01:56:47,720
Speaker 1: While and said, yeah, I know they are. Yeah, well

2558
01:56:47,840 --> 01:56:50,319
don't and changed.

2559
01:56:50,359 --> 01:56:51,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what you change. You have You have to

2560
01:56:51,840 --> 01:56:53,279
win those games. You have to be different than what

2561
01:56:53,319 --> 01:56:55,600
people get, what you think the perception is. You got

2562
01:56:55,680 --> 01:56:57,239
to be better than the Peru. Yeah, don't talk about

2563
01:56:57,239 --> 01:56:59,880
how your disrespected and the Warriors and by their favorite

2564
01:57:00,079 --> 01:57:02,520
season prize and Rockets gonna get this done.

2565
01:57:02,760 --> 01:57:04,600
Speaker 1: The crowd was there, The crowd showed up, the crowd

2566
01:57:04,680 --> 01:57:08,760
was energetic. Everybody they did their part, and the Rockets didn't.

2567
01:57:09,840 --> 01:57:12,359
Fred Van Vlaeton, Tarry Easton and Jalen Green they did.

2568
01:57:12,560 --> 01:57:14,880
Alprinching Goon did his part, Steven Adams did his part,

2569
01:57:16,159 --> 01:57:17,960
and from there it was just a lot of question

2570
01:57:18,079 --> 01:57:20,479
marks and or bad performances.

2571
01:57:24,920 --> 01:57:27,920
Speaker 2: I hope that the learning curve between game one and

2572
01:57:28,000 --> 01:57:31,439
game two of a playoff is significant. From man Thompson,

2573
01:57:32,119 --> 01:57:36,760
for Jabari Smith, even for Opprinching Gun, I can't imagine.

2574
01:57:37,239 --> 01:57:40,359
I can't well, but but he Mays coached twenty five playoffs.

2575
01:57:40,439 --> 01:57:43,079
Yeah he has, But I mean, I don't know where

2576
01:57:43,119 --> 01:57:45,079
he thinks offense is gonna come from. And I'm not

2577
01:57:45,159 --> 01:57:47,920
saying he doesn't know what he's doing, but I think

2578
01:57:47,960 --> 01:57:50,159
the leash, I think the leash on Fred and Jalen

2579
01:57:50,199 --> 01:57:52,119
will be significantly shorter on Wednesday night.

2580
01:57:52,319 --> 01:57:54,239
Speaker 1: It was not an accident that they went on the

2581
01:57:54,279 --> 01:57:56,079
bad scoring spell they did with the lineup that they

2582
01:57:56,119 --> 01:57:58,640
had out there, not a ball handlers and shooters. Yeah,

2583
01:57:58,840 --> 01:58:00,680
but that's also kind of the raws that's out there.

2584
01:58:00,720 --> 01:58:03,840
So I mean, it's not like Steven Adams all of

2585
01:58:03,840 --> 01:58:05,840
a sudden he would come Nikola jokicch just that's not

2586
01:58:05,960 --> 01:58:09,000
gonna work. Yeah, I mean, he gets you offensive rebounds, Yeah,

2587
01:58:09,000 --> 01:58:12,119
he facilitates, he sets picks, he does the screening, all

2588
01:58:12,199 --> 01:58:16,760
that good stuff. But the negative about Stephen being out

2589
01:58:16,800 --> 01:58:19,960
there is you just you don't He's not considered an

2590
01:58:20,000 --> 01:58:23,880
offensive threat, and for the right reason, right because that's

2591
01:58:23,920 --> 01:58:28,239
not who he is. There is a role for him,

2592
01:58:28,359 --> 01:58:30,560
and by the way, he played amazing last night in

2593
01:58:30,640 --> 01:58:33,119
terms of keeping balls alive and doing something that the

2594
01:58:33,399 --> 01:58:35,359
Astros or the Rockets have done all season long, and

2595
01:58:35,399 --> 01:58:38,159
that is keep possessions alive with their offensive rebounding and

2596
01:58:38,279 --> 01:58:40,239
if you get an off night shooting like Jenlen and

2597
01:58:40,840 --> 01:58:45,479
Fred had. You need more Knights like Steven Adams, but

2598
01:58:45,600 --> 01:58:47,399
at some point you got to knock the shots down.

2599
01:58:48,159 --> 01:58:50,640
Wide open, looks wide open, looks man.

2600
01:58:53,640 --> 01:58:55,680
Speaker 2: All right, let's get this final hour the show started.

2601
01:58:55,760 --> 01:58:59,760
We'll start with the Yankees. Keith, how do use rockets?

2602
01:58:59,840 --> 01:59:00,199
Speaker 4: Keep too?

2603
01:59:00,359 --> 01:59:00,880
Speaker 1: Is he rockets?

2604
01:59:00,960 --> 01:59:01,119
Speaker 4: Keith?

2605
01:59:01,159 --> 01:59:04,319
Speaker 1: And Texans Keiths? Get confused of what keithy is these days?

2606
01:59:04,520 --> 01:59:06,560
It's fine. It is very confusing, Yeah, believe it or not?

2607
01:59:06,640 --> 01:59:09,399
Coming up in fifty five minutes. What is topic? I

2608
01:59:09,439 --> 01:59:13,479
don't know. The topic is where is my lunch?

2609
01:59:14,880 --> 01:59:15,239
Speaker 12: What you have?

2610
01:59:15,680 --> 01:59:15,720
Speaker 20: You?

2611
01:59:15,840 --> 01:59:17,399
Speaker 1: What are you gonna have? I just lost. I don't

2612
01:59:17,399 --> 01:59:18,039
want to talk about it.

2613
01:59:18,079 --> 01:59:20,840
Speaker 2: All right, Sam's fair seven one three, two? Orders to

2614
01:59:20,880 --> 01:59:23,479
the wrong place? I guess there's two. There's two cafes

2615
01:59:23,560 --> 01:59:25,600
next door, right next to each other, and I ordered

2616
01:59:25,640 --> 01:59:27,359
from the wrong one and they're not picking up the phone.

2617
01:59:27,399 --> 01:59:28,680
Speaker 1: So I'm just out, like twenty five bucks.

2618
01:59:28,960 --> 01:59:31,720
Speaker 2: You Now here's a problem. No, there's a problem that

2619
01:59:31,840 --> 01:59:33,520
you've got what they don't know own by the same

2620
01:59:33,560 --> 01:59:34,319
group either, are.

2621
01:59:34,319 --> 01:59:36,640
Speaker 1: They No, they have the same name and they have

2622
01:59:36,760 --> 01:59:41,199
basically the close to identical address. I'm stupid you want

2623
01:59:41,239 --> 01:59:45,000
a hug? No, all right, it is a group chat Monday.

2624
01:59:45,600 --> 01:59:47,439
Ross and I are in a group chat within our

2625
01:59:47,479 --> 01:59:52,319
own offices. If you're new to the show, you're saying,

2626
01:59:52,319 --> 01:59:54,000
what is a group chat Monday? That's where you send

2627
01:59:54,119 --> 01:59:55,920
us your group chats. Yeah, I guess you.

2628
01:59:56,000 --> 01:59:57,680
Speaker 2: You don't have to tell us exactly what's in it,

2629
01:59:57,760 --> 02:00:00,359
but you can give us the general subject. My group

2630
02:00:00,439 --> 02:00:04,439
chat today involving referee officiating game last night, which I

2631
02:00:04,479 --> 02:00:10,199
thought was a non issue. Fake members of the media

2632
02:00:10,239 --> 02:00:16,840
bragging about how hard they work. Okay, Oh, the delicious

2633
02:00:16,880 --> 02:00:19,399
salmon and brisket that was served at the media meal

2634
02:00:19,479 --> 02:00:20,760
at the Tota Center last night.

2635
02:00:21,079 --> 02:00:23,359
Speaker 1: That was from salmon and brisket. Yeah, salmon and brisket.

2636
02:00:24,199 --> 02:00:26,560
I'm not a big salmon guy. A matter of fact,

2637
02:00:26,600 --> 02:00:29,159
I'm not anti salmon. I will eat salmon, but I

2638
02:00:29,399 --> 02:00:30,640
like smoked salmon. I don't like.

2639
02:00:32,359 --> 02:00:34,319
Speaker 2: And I don't like to taste of salmon in general. Yeah,

2640
02:00:34,359 --> 02:00:38,000
for the most part, it's got a tastes like you know,

2641
02:00:38,039 --> 02:00:39,600
when they put it on cedar planks, it's like, yeah,

2642
02:00:39,680 --> 02:00:42,319
let's eat some wood. It's it's it's got a I'm

2643
02:00:42,359 --> 02:00:46,800
not a beaver it's pungent. To bad term on that pungent. Okay, yeah,

2644
02:00:46,800 --> 02:00:51,439
I'm just going with that kind of fishy gaming fish

2645
02:00:51,560 --> 02:00:53,399
is the only food. When you describe it as it is,

2646
02:00:53,600 --> 02:00:55,600
it's a bad thing. Oh, this fish is too fishy.

2647
02:00:56,479 --> 02:00:58,600
It's fish except file fish.

2648
02:01:00,000 --> 02:01:00,239
Speaker 3: Miss you.

2649
02:01:00,319 --> 02:01:03,439
Speaker 5: I just had an argument with my mother, Okay, I didn't.

2650
02:01:03,439 --> 02:01:05,399
I was telling her, what does it mean? It's too

2651
02:01:05,439 --> 02:01:08,199
fishy as fish, and she had that she was grilling

2652
02:01:08,279 --> 02:01:11,079
me in. Yeah, but I understand when it's too fishy.

2653
02:01:11,119 --> 02:01:14,880
It's just like real quick catfish fish catfish, yes or no?

2654
02:01:15,159 --> 02:01:17,840
I like it every fish the most part. Yeah, you

2655
02:01:17,920 --> 02:01:18,760
find is delicious.

2656
02:01:18,800 --> 02:01:22,199
Speaker 1: Yeah, finder's good. I don't need the I have no

2657
02:01:22,319 --> 02:01:25,199
thank you. May give me a fly on the way home.

2658
02:01:25,319 --> 02:01:25,640
All right.

2659
02:01:25,720 --> 02:01:25,880
Speaker 12: Good.

2660
02:01:25,920 --> 02:01:28,880
Speaker 1: Now you're hungry, Yeah, but I'm gon buy you some fish. No,

2661
02:01:29,000 --> 02:01:31,520
I'm upset. I'm hungry right now. I'm upset at myself.

2662
02:01:31,640 --> 02:01:33,600
I don't want to talk about it. Tired. I've been

2663
02:01:33,680 --> 02:01:37,479
working all these games and working at night too. It's fine,

2664
02:01:39,399 --> 02:01:41,079
and you get to hang out with me for four hours. Yeah,

2665
02:01:41,279 --> 02:01:43,680

2666

2686
02:02:36,000 --> 02:02:36,720

02:02:43,640 --> 02:02:48,039

2690
02:02:48,119 --> 02:02:48,720
good afternoon.

2691
02:02:49,920 --> 02:02:51,159
Speaker 1: How are y'all doing good?

2692
02:02:53,479 --> 02:02:56,840
Speaker 16: Okay, so last night, but we only use like a

2693
02:02:56,880 --> 02:02:59,680
little portion of our events. We use adds, we use

2694
02:03:00,359 --> 02:03:05,039
uh Jabari, and we used tarr what happens to holidays?

2695
02:03:05,119 --> 02:03:10,119
Holiday is our best shooting three pointer a three point shooter. Also,

2696
02:03:10,640 --> 02:03:14,399
even a Whittmore can make three Why why didn't? I mean, well,

2697
02:03:14,479 --> 02:03:17,680
I know, just the first game. So I'm hoping that

2698
02:03:18,199 --> 02:03:21,680
during the series they're gonna get some play. If Jalen

2699
02:03:21,760 --> 02:03:26,159
can't shooting at Jalen keeps running into the brick walls

2700
02:03:26,239 --> 02:03:28,640
over and over again and not getting files, they need

2701
02:03:28,720 --> 02:03:32,840
to pull his ass out and and and uh fan

2702
02:03:32,960 --> 02:03:36,159
fleet if he can't, If he can't shoot like he

2703
02:03:36,600 --> 02:03:40,199
what was he like for for twenty last night? You

2704
02:03:40,319 --> 02:03:42,119
need to pull his ass out too.

2705
02:03:43,760 --> 02:03:45,920
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm just gonna be brutally honest with you for

2706
02:03:45,960 --> 02:03:51,800
a second, Keith. If Van Vliet and Green aren't successful,

2707
02:03:53,439 --> 02:03:57,359
the Whitmore Holiday Combo in your own definition, not mine,

2708
02:03:57,960 --> 02:04:00,000
will not overtake the Golden State Warriors.

2709
02:04:02,039 --> 02:04:04,079
Speaker 1: You have to get Jalen Green.

2710
02:04:03,920 --> 02:04:07,159
Speaker 2: And Fred VanVleet vested in successful in this series. If

2711
02:04:07,199 --> 02:04:10,960
they're not successful. Simply replacing them will not be good enough.

2712
02:04:11,000 --> 02:04:13,680
The Rockets will not win a playoff series, whether it's

2713
02:04:13,720 --> 02:04:17,159
Golden State or anybody else, unless those two gentlemen are

2714
02:04:17,279 --> 02:04:18,119
key contributors.

2715
02:04:18,319 --> 02:04:28,960
Speaker 1: That's just the flat out truth. And you're speechless. He said,

2716
02:04:29,000 --> 02:04:32,439
I'm done, Thank you, Keith.

2717
02:04:33,319 --> 02:04:35,319
Speaker 2: I don't think I think as a safe bet, we're

2718
02:04:35,319 --> 02:04:37,760
not gonna see Cam Whitmore, at least not in garbage

2719
02:04:37,800 --> 02:04:41,079
time non garbage time minutes, unless it's just a complete

2720
02:04:41,119 --> 02:04:45,279
desperation move. Aaron Holliday, I could see, but it's very

2721
02:04:45,359 --> 02:04:48,920
clear to me that Emiodoka is going with guys that

2722
02:04:49,000 --> 02:04:51,159
he can trust, especially on the defensive end. He is

2723
02:04:51,199 --> 02:04:54,359
a defensive coach. That's why you're only bench players right now.

2724
02:04:54,439 --> 02:04:56,199
Jabari's been junior Tar east and Stephen Adams.

2725
02:04:56,319 --> 02:04:57,000
Speaker 1: Let me tell you something.

2726
02:04:57,159 --> 02:05:00,239
Speaker 2: The Houston Rockets are proud of their ninety five points

2727
02:05:00,279 --> 02:05:05,239
all last night. HM coach Udoka thinks he can win

2728
02:05:05,319 --> 02:05:06,760
with the guys he put on the floor last night,

2729
02:05:06,760 --> 02:05:11,680
and he's right. They have to play better. Jalen Green's

2730
02:05:11,720 --> 02:05:13,720
got to be more aggressive. He's got to not go

2731
02:05:13,920 --> 02:05:17,560
over from three. Same thing for Tary Easton. You get

2732
02:05:17,600 --> 02:05:21,079
hot from three, and we're talking about a completely different game. Well,

2733
02:05:21,119 --> 02:05:23,319
I would even I would even take mid from three.

2734
02:05:23,479 --> 02:05:25,960
I mean they were six of twenty nine. If I

2735
02:05:26,119 --> 02:05:28,319
get that the thirty five thirty six percent and turn

2736
02:05:28,479 --> 02:05:31,399
and turn, take the turnovers down from say seventeen to

2737
02:05:31,439 --> 02:05:34,199
where they normally are about eleven or twelve ross, that's

2738
02:05:34,239 --> 02:05:37,000
a difference maker. And the reality is I can't use

2739
02:05:37,039 --> 02:05:39,680
a free throw line to my advantage. They are who

2740
02:05:39,760 --> 02:05:41,399
they are. They cut and they're not gonna They can't

2741
02:05:41,439 --> 02:05:43,560
go fifty five percent. You can't go oh for four

2742
02:05:43,600 --> 02:05:47,359
if you're men Thompson. That has to improve. And we

2743
02:05:47,479 --> 02:05:49,319
keep saying six of twenty nine is correct. That's what

2744
02:05:49,359 --> 02:05:51,279
they ended up with. A Couple of those are made

2745
02:05:51,279 --> 02:05:53,439
when the game was over. They went into the fourth

2746
02:05:53,560 --> 02:05:58,760
quarter three for twenty one. Yeah, three for twenty one

2747
02:05:59,359 --> 02:06:01,800
in an NBA game. You can't do that in the playoffs.

2748
02:06:01,880 --> 02:06:03,239
This again, I'm gonna bring up to the point I

2749
02:06:03,279 --> 02:06:05,359
brought to Keith a second ago before he lost this

2750
02:06:05,439 --> 02:06:08,199
guy Extu or whatever. This isn't about benching. This is

2751
02:06:08,279 --> 02:06:12,199
about who got you at fifty two wins. And say

2752
02:06:12,279 --> 02:06:16,279
what you will about Fred's three point percentage this year

2753
02:06:16,319 --> 02:06:17,920
which is down previous year. I think it's one of

2754
02:06:17,960 --> 02:06:21,800
his lowest ever in his career. They trust Freda with

2755
02:06:21,880 --> 02:06:24,279
the basketball in the hand to run the offense. The

2756
02:06:24,439 --> 02:06:28,279
offense got in a log jam yesterday. The offense did

2757
02:06:28,399 --> 02:06:32,199
not move with the fluidity that it has moved so

2758
02:06:32,359 --> 02:06:33,920
much of the time over the course of the year.

2759
02:06:34,319 --> 02:06:36,119
And it's up to the Rockets coaching staff to make

2760
02:06:36,119 --> 02:06:39,319
those adjustments to make sure that happens. Ultimately, Jalen Green's

2761
02:06:39,359 --> 02:06:42,279
going to have to shoot better ultimately, Ross I don't

2762
02:06:42,319 --> 02:06:44,520
know if Fred van Vliet should be taking nineteen shots

2763
02:06:44,560 --> 02:06:47,560
in a basketball game, but remember those were open looks,

2764
02:06:48,159 --> 02:06:51,800
and coaches, no matter if it's Emaadoka, whether it's Red Auback,

2765
02:06:51,920 --> 02:06:55,680
may he rest in peace, they're going to tell their players,

2766
02:06:55,960 --> 02:07:00,920
if you are open, take the shot, yeah, and you

2767
02:07:01,079 --> 02:07:03,680
have to operate. And most of them miss shots yesterday

2768
02:07:03,760 --> 02:07:06,880
by both those gentlemen, maybe more so than Fred than

2769
02:07:06,960 --> 02:07:09,960
it was on Jalen weren't largely with not a hand

2770
02:07:10,000 --> 02:07:13,800
in the face. Very few contested three point looks.

2771
02:07:14,680 --> 02:07:15,079
Speaker 1: Mm hmm.

2772
02:07:16,000 --> 02:07:17,920
Speaker 2: There was one that Fred van Vliet was thrown up

2773
02:07:17,960 --> 02:07:20,520
like a heat check. It was weird and they didn't

2774
02:07:20,560 --> 02:07:22,319
go in But other than that, yeah, most of it

2775
02:07:22,479 --> 02:07:24,600
was most everything was in the rhythm of the offense.

2776
02:07:25,960 --> 02:07:28,640
Because I mean, put it this way, I can't imagine

2777
02:07:29,239 --> 02:07:31,520
now it could happened. But I'm gonna say I can't.

2778
02:07:31,760 --> 02:07:35,920
I can't imagine your starting backgard going seven for thirty four. Again,

2779
02:07:38,279 --> 02:07:40,079
it may not, it may not be fluid, it may

2780
02:07:40,119 --> 02:07:42,079
not be fluid fifty four percent to the two of them,

2781
02:07:42,119 --> 02:07:45,920
But Ross, I can't imagine seven for thirty four and

2782
02:07:46,079 --> 02:07:49,239
two of seventeen from three in back to back games,

2783
02:07:49,439 --> 02:07:51,079
or for that matter, a second time in the series.

2784
02:07:51,279 --> 02:07:53,720
Speaker 1: They're gonna be better, gonna have to be. They're gonna

2785
02:07:53,720 --> 02:07:54,000
be better.

2786
02:07:54,119 --> 02:07:57,680
Speaker 2: It's gonna be a short trip. They're gonna be better,

2787
02:07:58,840 --> 02:08:01,640
and it was short. You know what's gonna be talked

2788
02:08:01,640 --> 02:08:11,479
about a lot. Just win, baby, Let's go. And I

2789
02:08:12,600 --> 02:08:15,159
somebody brought asked me this off air, He said, what

2790
02:08:15,239 --> 02:08:19,000
do you think about that certain player in Phoenix? I said,

2791
02:08:19,039 --> 02:08:22,199
you know what, my guess is, everybody that's gonna have

2792
02:08:22,359 --> 02:08:26,359
the capital, either through players, money or draft picks, is

2793
02:08:26,399 --> 02:08:28,359
going to kick the tires under aam That'd be foolish

2794
02:08:28,439 --> 02:08:30,800
not to do that. Do I think there is an

2795
02:08:30,840 --> 02:08:33,680
affinity for the Rockets and Kevin Durant. Yeah, but I

2796
02:08:33,800 --> 02:08:36,720
also don't believe it's such a strong affinity that if

2797
02:08:36,760 --> 02:08:38,880
this team was to win a playoff series or at

2798
02:08:38,920 --> 02:08:40,720
least make this thing a seven game set, or at

2799
02:08:40,800 --> 02:08:44,000
least show signs that you know what, you're just really

2800
02:08:44,079 --> 02:08:47,439
close with the core that you're hair there, that it

2801
02:08:47,479 --> 02:08:49,920
would not be a organing on the phone as soon

2802
02:08:49,960 --> 02:08:53,479
as we humanly can to talk to Phoenix. But I'll

2803
02:08:53,520 --> 02:08:57,279
say this, if they go out in four and those

2804
02:08:57,319 --> 02:09:00,000
two guys don't come through and the backcourd does struggle

2805
02:09:00,039 --> 02:09:03,039
from a shooting perspective, then that that's going to be

2806
02:09:03,079 --> 02:09:06,079
a hard conversation not to at least have a more

2807
02:09:06,199 --> 02:09:09,760
deeper visit among Rockets front office personnel.

2808
02:09:11,560 --> 02:09:13,840
Speaker 1: Because you are who you are playoff wise. It just

2809
02:09:14,560 --> 02:09:16,119
it is what it is. Man.

2810
02:09:16,159 --> 02:09:18,199
Speaker 2: It's not fair because Jalen's only been in one of them,

2811
02:09:20,239 --> 02:09:22,640
but you've got a lot of money coming his way.

2812
02:09:23,439 --> 02:09:26,760
He had a much better regular season. He showed signs

2813
02:09:26,800 --> 02:09:29,560
of being way more consistent than he was inconsistent, which

2814
02:09:29,560 --> 02:09:32,600
is something that plagued him early in his career. But

2815
02:09:33,079 --> 02:09:36,159
if you fail in the playoffs, that goes in your resume.

2816
02:09:36,319 --> 02:09:38,079
Go ask James Earn about that. For the most part

2817
02:09:38,119 --> 02:09:40,560
of his NBA career. For as great as things that

2818
02:09:40,680 --> 02:09:43,880
James has done offensively, when you think about James Harden,

2819
02:09:43,960 --> 02:09:45,600
you think of what is the phrase you hear all

2820
02:09:45,640 --> 02:09:49,239
the time, playoff James Harden, and he hasn't been able

2821
02:09:49,319 --> 02:09:51,840
to avoid that because he's not been able to get

2822
02:09:51,840 --> 02:09:54,479
over the hump and be the kind of score and

2823
02:09:54,680 --> 02:09:59,399
leader and have a productivity like he's had for nine

2824
02:09:59,439 --> 02:10:06,439
to nine percent his regular season career. I mean, seriously,

2825
02:10:06,680 --> 02:10:08,800
you into a room and said, let's debate Kevin Durant.

2826
02:10:08,840 --> 02:10:13,560
You could clearly go either way on this. I would

2827
02:10:13,680 --> 02:10:16,720
rather not. He's just too old now. I do think

2828
02:10:16,760 --> 02:10:18,680
his best days are behind him. I think he hurt

2829
02:10:18,720 --> 02:10:19,399
you defensively.

2830
02:10:20,239 --> 02:10:24,199
Speaker 1: He turned to this way too much. But he it

2831
02:10:24,239 --> 02:10:27,119
would be automatically immediately your second best score, if not

2832
02:10:27,199 --> 02:10:29,800
your best, but for how long? Yeah, I don't know. Whatever.

2833
02:10:30,239 --> 02:10:31,760
Speaker 2: Look, if it happened, I'm not saying it's like a

2834
02:10:31,800 --> 02:10:35,840
horrible move. I'd be excited. But it also depends on

2835
02:10:35,880 --> 02:10:36,640
what you have to give up.

2836
02:10:37,199 --> 02:10:39,720

02:10:58,760 --> 02:11:02,680
haven't been able to sleep. I'm just shot. Didn't you

2844
02:11:02,760 --> 02:11:03,159
predict that?

2845
02:11:03,680 --> 02:11:03,760
Speaker 13: Uh?

2846
02:11:03,840 --> 02:11:06,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, of course that was a no brainer. Oh okay,

2847
02:11:07,359 --> 02:11:09,079
I think I'm gonna quit the business and go become

2848
02:11:09,119 --> 02:11:11,720
a WWE writer. I think I can write pretty good stuff.

2849
02:11:12,640 --> 02:11:15,520
That's fine. I mean, yeah, you're entertaining twelve year olds.

2850
02:11:15,560 --> 02:11:16,359
Can't be that difficult.

2851
02:11:16,600 --> 02:11:16,800
Speaker 16: Hey.

2852
02:11:17,760 --> 02:11:19,960
Speaker 2: They had sixty one thousand back to back nights at

2853
02:11:20,199 --> 02:11:25,199
a Legion Stadium in Las Vegas. That event made sixty

2854
02:11:25,239 --> 02:11:27,079
million dollars probably for WWE by.

2855
02:11:27,079 --> 02:11:30,520
Speaker 1: Itself that night. Wow, it's incredible. I just don't get it.

2856
02:11:30,960 --> 02:11:33,800
Speaker 2: And Clinton didn't pay any tickets. He sat in the

2857
02:11:33,840 --> 02:11:35,760
press box, and of course he was eight miles away

2858
02:11:35,760 --> 02:11:36,239
from the site.

2859
02:11:36,560 --> 02:11:36,720
Speaker 4: Yeah.

2860
02:11:36,760 --> 02:11:39,960
Speaker 1: I think we packed his telescope correct a little bit,

2861
02:11:39,960 --> 02:11:41,560
a little bit of a cheap skate there, But that's fine.

2862
02:11:43,680 --> 02:11:46,359
That was Matt Thomas saying that not me, You were

2863
02:11:46,399 --> 02:11:48,920
faking it though, No, I wasn't. Okay, that wasn't really

2864
02:11:48,960 --> 02:11:52,680
that concerned. I forgot that he was at wrestling. He's

2865
02:11:52,680 --> 02:11:55,079
like shooting photo like you can't even you literally can't

2866
02:11:55,119 --> 02:11:57,279
see the ring. They're like like a little lance.

2867
02:11:58,399 --> 02:12:00,319
Speaker 2: Step up your game, Clinton, you make a lot of money,

2868
02:12:00,479 --> 02:12:02,680
Gordon knows, probably too much for this company.

2869
02:12:03,079 --> 02:12:03,479
Speaker 1: Hm hmm.

2870
02:12:04,960 --> 02:12:07,399
Speaker 2: Step up your game and actually goes get down closing

2871
02:12:07,399 --> 02:12:10,199
and see the event. I paid good money to see

2872
02:12:10,239 --> 02:12:14,600
one of these pictures Instagra. Okay, let me find him

2873
02:12:14,640 --> 02:12:16,560
at Adam Clinton on inst go.

2874
02:12:16,640 --> 02:12:18,359
Speaker 1: Look how far he is he can't see a jack

2875
02:12:18,399 --> 02:12:21,399
squad man if mention me going to the Final four

2876
02:12:21,439 --> 02:12:23,159
to see my Cougars lose to Florida and being that

2877
02:12:23,239 --> 02:12:25,159
far away from it. At least I was closing up

2878
02:12:25,199 --> 02:12:26,920
close to see the final fifteen seconds.

2879
02:12:27,039 --> 02:12:29,800
Speaker 2: You're gonna brag about being close to watching choke in

2880
02:12:29,880 --> 02:12:31,680
the chances getting strong of a turn ROSSI.

2881
02:12:32,000 --> 02:12:38,479
Speaker 1: But it also is accurate. I don't be very questionable officiating, Oh.

2882
02:12:39,159 --> 02:12:42,840
Speaker 2: Questionable Officiatinguel sharps and watch the ball his hang out

2883
02:12:42,840 --> 02:12:43,319
at his feet.

2884
02:12:45,640 --> 02:12:49,720
Speaker 1: That's got to be really tough. Sorry, Matt, Yeah, it's fine.

2885
02:12:50,840 --> 02:12:54,520
Oh it's next year. There is next year. Team's gonna

2886
02:12:54,520 --> 02:13:00,479
be stacked. Yeah, top five, preseason number one and the regional.

2887
02:13:00,479 --> 02:13:01,960
I think it's going to be here in Houston next.

2888
02:13:01,920 --> 02:13:04,560
Speaker 2: Year because of the breaking news that the Cooper flag

2889
02:13:04,640 --> 02:13:07,560
is now declared. Yeah, huge breaking news. It was not

2890
02:13:07,640 --> 02:13:11,359
a surprise, right, And you've seen and I always felt

2891
02:13:11,359 --> 02:13:13,840
like I argued, not argue the baby is Cooper Flag.

2892
02:13:14,039 --> 02:13:18,720
Just a guy, really good guy, superstar, think, really good player, superstar.

2893
02:13:19,399 --> 02:13:21,800
The thing is he's young, he is a baby. He's

2894
02:13:21,840 --> 02:13:26,960
barely barely a college player. Yeah, it was very tough.

2895
02:13:27,439 --> 02:13:29,600
That's the question is how polish is he? How close

2896
02:13:29,680 --> 02:13:32,520
is he to his ceiling? He's obviously very polish and good.

2897
02:13:33,039 --> 02:13:35,760
But sometimes with guys like that, that means maybe they're

2898
02:13:35,760 --> 02:13:38,039
close to their ceiling already. Yeah, I mean it takes

2899
02:13:38,239 --> 02:13:40,479
it takes guys two to three years. Look Kay Cuttingham,

2900
02:13:40,720 --> 02:13:43,800
former one DASH one finally becoming a star in Detroit. Yes,

2901
02:13:46,239 --> 02:13:48,760
I don't know if Zachary the Atlanta Hawks.

2902
02:13:48,520 --> 02:13:50,680
Speaker 1: Will be that guy. But no, he's on the he's

2903
02:13:50,760 --> 02:13:53,560
like on the runway for Adam Clinton. That's not his seat.

2904
02:13:54,600 --> 02:13:56,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, but he's getting down there, he's getting access. That's

2905
02:13:57,119 --> 02:14:04,279
that's probably stock photo seven one three five seven Matty

2906
02:14:04,479 --> 02:14:06,199
Martin Angleton. This ought to be a treat.

2907
02:14:06,239 --> 02:14:12,359
Speaker 23: Hello Martin, Hey, Happy Easter to everyone. Still and I'm

2908
02:14:12,439 --> 02:14:16,560
up here in East Texas, but I'm coming down tonight.

2909
02:14:17,720 --> 02:14:23,039
But I know that I enjoy listening to breakdown of

2910
02:14:23,119 --> 02:14:26,119
the rockets. I know y'all timed him today at four

2911
02:14:26,159 --> 02:14:29,520
point fifty five, and I was thinking, what y'all could

2912
02:14:29,560 --> 02:14:32,760
do is y'all could go to his house, Gerard's house,

2913
02:14:33,359 --> 02:14:35,960
and y'all could time him when he's having relations with

2914
02:14:36,079 --> 02:14:39,840
his lady friend and he could call in. Geron could

2915
02:14:39,880 --> 02:14:42,319
call in, and you could break down the rockets and

2916
02:14:43,720 --> 02:14:46,840
his relations with his lady friend all at the same time.

2917
02:14:57,680 --> 02:14:58,600
Speaker 3: Matt, I Apo jazz.

2918
02:14:59,479 --> 02:15:03,239
Speaker 1: No, it's not you. Martin's been calling in with really

2919
02:15:03,279 --> 02:15:06,119
bad jokes and takes for a year. That bad.

2920
02:15:06,359 --> 02:15:10,399
Speaker 2: I mean, Martin might be one of the dumbest human

2921
02:15:10,439 --> 02:15:14,159
beings alive. And I don't know use that term loosely.

2922
02:15:16,920 --> 02:15:19,600
Thank you Martin for the call. Matt, once you head

2923
02:15:19,600 --> 02:15:20,520
to Gerard's house.

2924
02:15:21,000 --> 02:15:24,000
Speaker 1: And time him to No, I'm not telling anybody doing anything.

2925
02:15:27,840 --> 02:15:32,119
I guess he's trying to compare the two. Uh I,

2926
02:15:32,399 --> 02:15:38,239
I don't know. It's interesting, that's what think. That's where

2927
02:15:38,239 --> 02:15:42,680
Martin's mind went. Martin's expect Martin's kind of banned from

2928
02:15:42,680 --> 02:15:45,600
the show now, I mean busy. He's stupid. I mean,

2929
02:15:45,640 --> 02:15:47,640
I hate to call people stupid. I'm all right with it.

2930
02:15:47,960 --> 02:15:52,520
Speaker 2: But he's stupid, and I would hate to be called stupid.

2931
02:15:54,000 --> 02:15:57,960
M But that was stupid. I love you, Martin, but

2932
02:15:58,000 --> 02:16:03,000
you're stupid. We appreciate you, not really, all right? Is

2933
02:16:03,039 --> 02:16:05,840
there any possible way we can rebound from that phone call?

2934
02:16:06,079 --> 02:16:08,119
I don't think so, but I would like to have

2935
02:16:08,239 --> 02:16:10,159
someone to try. We can try to come in and

2936
02:16:10,279 --> 02:16:14,039
have a nice, decent sports conversation if you are able

2937
02:16:14,079 --> 02:16:16,840
to do that. Seven one three two one two five

2938
02:16:16,920 --> 02:16:21,840
seven onty, I mean it won't take much. No, seven

2939
02:16:21,880 --> 02:16:27,680
one three two one two five seven nine zero. Please,

2940
02:16:28,319 --> 02:16:30,359
If you have an IQ, what would you say? What

2941
02:16:30,439 --> 02:16:33,559
do you have to have minimize average? I believe yeah,

2942
02:16:33,840 --> 02:16:38,959
I think seventy five and below is m Yeah, I know, yeah,

2943
02:16:39,079 --> 02:16:39,600
don't say it.

2944
02:16:40,079 --> 02:16:41,399
Speaker 1: We're thinking it, though, So.

2945
02:16:41,440 --> 02:16:42,879
Speaker 2: I would say, if you have an IQ of above

2946
02:16:42,920 --> 02:16:44,680
one hundred, you're more than welcome to call the show.

2947
02:16:44,680 --> 02:16:48,319
Okay seven one three, two one two five seven. Aunty

2948
02:16:48,360 --> 02:16:50,399
Astro is getting ready for a series starter with the

2949
02:16:50,520 --> 02:16:53,520
San Diego Padres tonight and it's gonna be the uh

2950
02:16:54,319 --> 02:16:57,799
Toronto Blue Jays after winning two out of three. It

2951
02:16:57,959 --> 02:17:00,799
was crazy that they had won the Friday and Saturday

2952
02:17:00,840 --> 02:17:03,200
game and people are like, maybe that's a turnaround, and

2953
02:17:03,280 --> 02:17:04,879
then baseball happens.

2954
02:17:05,440 --> 02:17:07,280
Speaker 1: Look, if you win two on to three out every series,

2955
02:17:07,799 --> 02:17:09,440
you'll take that every day of the week. Yeah, but

2956
02:17:09,479 --> 02:17:10,200
they're not doing that.

2957
02:17:10,799 --> 02:17:10,840
Speaker 9: No.

2958
02:17:11,239 --> 02:17:13,520
Speaker 1: They got to sweep in there somewhere against the Giants.

2959
02:17:13,879 --> 02:17:15,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, but other than that, they're playing about five hundred

2960
02:17:15,959 --> 02:17:19,559
baseball right now. Hunter Brown on the mountain today, let's go.

2961
02:17:20,159 --> 02:17:23,479
Hunter Brown's like, you know what I'm gonna keep doing.

2962
02:17:23,559 --> 02:17:24,879
I'm doing and then we're gonna have a nice little

2963
02:17:24,879 --> 02:17:26,040
conversation in the offseason.

2964
02:17:28,479 --> 02:17:33,079
Speaker 1: Might be early for that might be early, but might

2965
02:17:33,159 --> 02:17:36,000
be warranted, especially because guess who's gonna be leaving at

2966
02:17:36,040 --> 02:17:40,719
the end of this year. Yes, I mean there, I'm

2967
02:17:40,799 --> 02:17:42,879
sure the Ashros have tried it. I mean the stars

2968
02:17:42,920 --> 02:17:46,159
are aligning for Hunter to do quite well for himself, right.

2969
02:17:46,360 --> 02:17:48,120
He's gonna make a lot of them. He's not gonna

2970
02:17:48,120 --> 02:17:53,440
be I don't think he's gonna be eligible arbitration until

2971
02:17:54,319 --> 02:17:55,559
is it this year, this all season?

2972
02:17:55,559 --> 02:17:57,719
Speaker 2: If you can buy arbitration years out, yes you can,

2973
02:17:57,920 --> 02:18:04,520
but that would say it Hunter Brown's gonna better on himself.

2974
02:18:05,120 --> 02:18:07,440
Speaker 1: I think so. Hunter Brown's like, this is really cute.

2975
02:18:07,479 --> 02:18:10,479
You're trying to do this, but it's not going to happen.

2976
02:18:11,239 --> 02:18:13,680
I would love if he did. I mean a lot

2977
02:18:13,719 --> 02:18:17,040
of big star players have had arbitration years bought out.

2978
02:18:20,200 --> 02:18:23,120
Speaker 2: Usually with young baseball teams that don't spend a significant

2979
02:18:23,120 --> 02:18:25,079
a money money on fre ages like the Kansas Cities

2980
02:18:25,079 --> 02:18:29,159
will will do that with Bobbywood. Junior Santego before they

2981
02:18:29,159 --> 02:18:31,840
became a big free spending team would.

2982
02:18:31,639 --> 02:18:34,360
Speaker 1: Do a lot of that arbitration buying out. Yeah, but

2983
02:18:34,440 --> 02:18:36,680
you remember who Hunter Brown hired in the off season,

2984
02:18:39,920 --> 02:18:44,360
Scotty Bee. That is correct, Scotty Bee's last taste of

2985
02:18:44,440 --> 02:18:48,680
facing the talk of the Astros not getting return text.

2986
02:18:50,440 --> 02:18:52,079
Speaker 2: Yeah, you think Scotty Bee is going to be like,

2987
02:18:52,120 --> 02:18:53,719
oh yeah, let's do a team friendly deal. Let you

2988
02:18:53,760 --> 02:18:55,959
guys buy out a couple of years arbitration tack on

2989
02:18:56,040 --> 02:19:00,479
a little bit, but this way the Astro let me

2990
02:19:00,559 --> 02:19:02,520
put this is the cart well before the horse that

2991
02:19:02,559 --> 02:19:06,799
I apologize. Do you think there's pressure to actually get

2992
02:19:06,840 --> 02:19:10,319
a Scott be not named jose Al Tuobe client signed

2993
02:19:10,360 --> 02:19:14,680
here to show the pressure from whom, from the Astros

2994
02:19:14,760 --> 02:19:17,680
of an organization and from Boris to say, we got

2995
02:19:17,760 --> 02:19:19,879
to figure this out, because if every time I have

2996
02:19:19,959 --> 02:19:23,280
a free agent that isn't really being courted by the team,

2997
02:19:23,399 --> 02:19:27,399
why do I want my players to go there? Well,

2998
02:19:27,479 --> 02:19:29,639
it's not really a big problem because the owner doesn't

2999
02:19:29,639 --> 02:19:31,280
want to sign big, long term contracts.

3000
02:19:31,440 --> 02:19:35,040
Speaker 1: So doesn't all good. And that's fine. I'm not saying

3001
02:19:35,040 --> 02:19:36,360
that's an indictment of Jim Crane.

3002
02:19:37,079 --> 02:19:39,239
Speaker 2: No, No, I mean he's had this philosophy and it's

3003
02:19:39,239 --> 02:19:41,639
been good for him most of the players who have left.

3004
02:19:42,159 --> 02:19:44,040
I guess he was saying it's dumbed down, as I'm saying,

3005
02:19:44,399 --> 02:19:49,719
I would like to see a Scott Boris client signed

3006
02:19:49,799 --> 02:19:52,840
with the Astros not named Josel Tube, because I think

3007
02:19:52,879 --> 02:19:55,159
Josel Tube wasn't one off. If he can sign, if

3008
02:19:55,200 --> 02:19:59,200
he gets more journeyman relievers and over the hill first

3009
02:19:59,239 --> 02:20:00,479
basement got a shot.

3010
02:20:03,360 --> 02:20:08,200
Speaker 1: I knew you went that way on Sports Talk.

3011
02:20:08,280 --> 02:20:10,520
Speaker 2: We're not gonna pay anybody to thirty five, thirty six

3012
02:20:10,680 --> 02:20:14,760
unless they're already thirty four. The reason you signed those

3013
02:20:14,760 --> 02:20:17,600
big deals because you're buying the prime and you know

3014
02:20:17,680 --> 02:20:20,639
you're gonna take it on the back end. Jim Crad's

3015
02:20:20,639 --> 02:20:22,879
accelerated against He's like, no, I'll just take the back

3016
02:20:22,920 --> 02:20:28,000
in decline years. It hasn't worked out. Well, let's go

3017
02:20:28,159 --> 02:20:31,280
Christian Walk. Come on, babe, let's go christ turn it

3018
02:20:31,319 --> 02:20:33,760
around Team Christian to walk. He is for team CW

3019
02:20:34,040 --> 02:20:38,479
me too. One thirty four. Sports Talk seven ninety Matt

3020
02:20:38,520 --> 02:20:41,319
and Ross with you until two o'clock. Let's talk to

3021
02:20:42,600 --> 02:20:46,920
Chris with his son seven ninety. Hello Chris, Hey, Matt, how.

3022
02:20:46,879 --> 02:20:47,799
Speaker 4: Are you doing today? Good?

3023
02:20:47,840 --> 02:20:48,200
Speaker 1: Let's going on?

3024
02:20:49,360 --> 02:20:50,479
Speaker 4: Ross got me fired up.

3025
02:20:50,840 --> 02:20:51,000
Speaker 15: Ross.

3026
02:20:51,680 --> 02:20:54,520
Speaker 4: You saying that the cougar choked. It was just not right.

3027
02:20:55,120 --> 02:20:57,200
You gotta go back and look and see that Florida

3028
02:20:57,280 --> 02:20:59,600
did the same thing. Detect. They did the same thing

3029
02:20:59,680 --> 02:21:01,200
to all and then they did it to us. It

3030
02:21:01,280 --> 02:21:03,959
seems to be their mo But as far as Matt's

3031
02:21:04,000 --> 02:21:06,959
comment about the referee, I won't say that the referees

3032
02:21:07,159 --> 02:21:09,520
cost us a game, but I will say they ruined

3033
02:21:09,559 --> 02:21:10,639
the second half of that game.

3034
02:21:10,760 --> 02:21:11,920
Speaker 1: They called four fouls in.

3035
02:21:11,920 --> 02:21:14,239
Speaker 4: The first half and twenty six in the second half,

3036
02:21:14,760 --> 02:21:17,600
and after Todd Golden's technical, they called eleven in a

3037
02:21:17,680 --> 02:21:20,079
row against the Cougars, and that that just ruined the

3038
02:21:20,159 --> 02:21:22,120
second half. It took the flow of the game away

3039
02:21:22,159 --> 02:21:24,399
and everything. But we had our plenty of chances to win.

3040
02:21:25,000 --> 02:21:27,079
We did not choke in Florida one. So I just

3041
02:21:27,159 --> 02:21:28,879
wanted to let you know that Ross, we didn't choke.

3042
02:21:30,479 --> 02:21:33,120
Speaker 1: He says that he doesn't think that the Cougars choked.

3043
02:21:33,440 --> 02:21:37,840
Oh okay, well they were uplate in that game and

3044
02:21:37,920 --> 02:21:39,879
then they didn't get a shot off in the last second,

3045
02:21:39,959 --> 02:21:44,399
So that's tomato potato. I mean, we we got.

3046
02:21:44,600 --> 02:21:46,559
Speaker 2: What happened to us is we did the Duke pearing

3047
02:21:46,600 --> 02:21:49,239
into story. Yeah, Duke choked at the end of that game,

3048
02:21:52,120 --> 02:21:56,000
and then we couldn't we couldn't get a shot off.

3049
02:22:00,040 --> 02:22:01,079
Don't get a shout out at the end.

3050
02:22:01,079 --> 02:22:04,639
Speaker 1: That's a joke. Sorry, you know.

3051
02:22:05,000 --> 02:22:07,719
Speaker 2: And this is what I said when originally chokes a

3052
02:22:07,799 --> 02:22:10,360
tough word because there's pressure.

3053
02:22:10,559 --> 02:22:10,920
Speaker 3: This was.

3054
02:22:12,760 --> 02:22:19,040
Speaker 1: The yeah, but you know what, I gotta be honest.

3055
02:22:20,159 --> 02:22:22,520
I never wanted to use the word choke. But I

3056
02:22:22,600 --> 02:22:27,479
don't consider these athletes amateur anymore. And if pro players choke,

3057
02:22:27,559 --> 02:22:31,799
college players can choke. Mm hmm. And the reality is

3058
02:22:32,079 --> 02:22:36,000
we couldn't have played a worse thirty seconds. They should

3059
02:22:36,040 --> 02:22:36,520
have won that game.

3060
02:22:36,600 --> 02:22:43,600
Speaker 2: They were the better team. Better team doesn't always win, notion.

3061
02:22:44,040 --> 02:22:46,200
Speaker 1: Honestly, Duke was a better team than used to just

3062
02:22:46,319 --> 02:22:49,200
say better team didn't win that game, but we had

3063
02:22:49,520 --> 02:22:57,719
two terrible, hard to imagine turnovers. Yeah, you turn the

3064
02:22:57,760 --> 02:22:59,639
ball over all like what in the last three or

3065
02:22:59,639 --> 02:23:01,319
four pace sessions or whatever, and don't get a shot

3066
02:23:01,360 --> 02:23:02,760
off at the end. That's a choke. I'm sorry.

3067
02:23:06,360 --> 02:23:06,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's.

3068
02:23:08,760 --> 02:23:11,719
Speaker 1: Just chokes a tough word it and it's hard for me.

3069
02:23:11,920 --> 02:23:13,600
I'm here. I'm here to give you the harsh truths

3070
02:23:13,799 --> 02:23:18,840
Cougar fans, and Lord knows, if Texas chokes at a game,

3071
02:23:19,120 --> 02:23:20,319
we will be happy to let you.

3072
02:23:20,479 --> 02:23:20,639
Speaker 3: You know.

3073
02:23:21,000 --> 02:23:22,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, well that's fine.

3074
02:23:22,680 --> 02:23:22,959
Speaker 4: Guess what.

3075
02:23:23,120 --> 02:23:25,280
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna be some dumb blind omer who's not

3076
02:23:25,360 --> 02:23:28,479
gonna say that my team choked. My team chokes, They choke,

3077
02:23:28,760 --> 02:23:34,079
it happens. It was a regrettable thirty seconds. It was terrible.

3078
02:23:34,079 --> 02:23:35,879
I mean it was the ball going off the foot

3079
02:23:35,920 --> 02:23:37,600
and then the traveler, and then the traveler the ball

3080
02:23:37,680 --> 02:23:38,319
loose kept of.

3081
02:23:38,319 --> 02:23:42,680
Speaker 2: The Yeah, yeah, no, no sunshines and rainbows. You're turning

3082
02:23:42,680 --> 02:23:45,360
the ball over and not getting shots off with the lead.

3083
02:23:48,360 --> 02:23:50,639
I guess another semantics argument. You can call whatever you

3084
02:23:50,680 --> 02:23:53,920
want to call it. I'm gonna call I got no ring,

3085
02:23:54,000 --> 02:23:56,280
I got no celebration, I got no hitter wins for

3086
02:23:56,360 --> 02:23:59,159
Calvin sam were they were gonna give you a ring? No, Oh,

3087
02:23:59,600 --> 02:24:03,120
I was er Farkley speaking. Maybe if you up your donos,

3088
02:24:04,440 --> 02:24:09,079
IM not donating anymore. Donate my time, my talents and

3089
02:24:09,159 --> 02:24:14,920
my positivity. We'll be fine. But it was a long

3090
02:24:15,520 --> 02:24:19,879
way ago, Rossie, I got COVID over it. Knowledge did

3091
02:24:19,920 --> 02:24:21,959
I not win? And I got a COVID out of it?

3092
02:24:24,280 --> 02:24:30,479
Speaker 1: Sixty thousand mangy people and animal doma dump fest needs

3093
02:24:30,520 --> 02:24:35,000
to be cleansed. It was dirty, Yeah, of course. What

3094
02:24:35,159 --> 02:24:36,200
was the facility like in there?

3095
02:24:36,280 --> 02:24:39,280
Speaker 2: And it's been a few years, spent a lot of

3096
02:24:39,319 --> 02:24:41,280
time the Alamo Bowl, as you know, Matt, I know,

3097
02:24:42,200 --> 02:24:43,799
I actually sat in your seat in the first two days.

3098
02:24:43,879 --> 02:24:46,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's gold plated. They still have it. That's great.

3099
02:24:46,479 --> 02:24:48,120
Here's where ross has been for a better part of

3100
02:24:48,120 --> 02:24:54,600
the last ten years of his life. It's great.

3101
02:24:56,159 --> 02:24:58,399
Speaker 2: Well, I mean honestly, I mean think about it as

3102
02:24:58,399 --> 02:25:05,399
a Cougar fan. The three most defining moments for me.

3103
02:25:06,959 --> 02:25:10,520
Two of the three are losses. One going to beat

3104
02:25:10,559 --> 02:25:12,399
Florida State and the Peach Bowl was cool because that

3105
02:25:12,559 --> 02:25:16,600
was a BCS buster mm hmmm uh. But the other

3106
02:25:16,719 --> 02:25:19,040
two are as an eleven year old kid watching five

3107
02:25:19,079 --> 02:25:21,639
Sami Gamma lose the National Championship on a buzzer beater,

3108
02:25:22,079 --> 02:25:23,920
and then being as an adult in the in the

3109
02:25:23,959 --> 02:25:28,120
building watching the last thirty seconds and watching the uh

3110
02:25:28,639 --> 02:25:31,879
blue and orange confetti fall from the top of the

3111
02:25:31,959 --> 02:25:32,520
animal dome.

3112
02:25:32,719 --> 02:25:33,360
Speaker 1: That's got to hurt.

3113
02:25:33,639 --> 02:25:35,680
Speaker 2: And me having to wait in order to sit in

3114
02:25:35,719 --> 02:25:37,799
the stadium for thousds people to actually then walk like

3115
02:25:37,879 --> 02:25:41,879
three miles to my car to my parking spot. Nothing enjoyable.

3116
02:25:42,639 --> 02:25:44,159
And then I get on a plane and go to

3117
02:25:44,399 --> 02:25:47,120
the uh to the Bay to La where I get

3118
02:25:47,159 --> 02:25:49,760
sick for five days and that things were great. I'm sorry, Matt,

3119
02:25:50,040 --> 02:25:54,239
it's fine. What do they say, ross, It's never it's

3120
02:25:54,399 --> 02:25:58,840
uh to uh better lost than never?

3121
02:25:58,920 --> 02:25:59,120
Speaker 12: Love?

3122
02:26:00,680 --> 02:26:04,600
Speaker 2: So I got reaching those heights. Would you rather be

3123
02:26:04,639 --> 02:26:09,000
the Buffalo Bills or jeez, I don't even know Colon

3124
02:26:09,000 --> 02:26:13,440
the Panthers and Texans often because tasted it.

3125
02:26:15,399 --> 02:26:17,000
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying that Texans have never even been

3126
02:26:17,040 --> 02:26:19,120
to a championship game. At least the Bills went to

3127
02:26:19,159 --> 02:26:22,920
four Super Bowls. That's pretty crazy, yeah, and could have

3128
02:26:22,959 --> 02:26:32,120
won one of them. Why right? Mmm? Jerry Golfgate won

3129
02:26:32,200 --> 02:26:33,959
forty seven on the Hello Jerry.

3130
02:26:34,479 --> 02:26:37,319
Speaker 13: Hey, hello again, A great show is usually on this

3131
02:26:37,399 --> 02:26:38,040
beautiful day.

3132
02:26:38,559 --> 02:26:38,719
Speaker 20: Hey.

3133
02:26:38,840 --> 02:26:42,760
Speaker 13: Uh you know what, I'm amazed we're atz And and

3134
02:26:42,959 --> 02:26:45,040
see how how coaches.

3135
02:26:44,719 --> 02:26:47,040
Speaker 1: Uh no longer called plays?

3136
02:26:47,840 --> 02:26:47,959
Speaker 16: Uh?

3137
02:26:48,440 --> 02:26:51,440
Speaker 13: We saw an ideal example of a play being called

3138
02:26:51,520 --> 02:26:53,559
at the end of that what was that Purdue they

3139
02:26:53,639 --> 02:26:57,639
played where the picks were set for l J. Cryer

3140
02:26:58,319 --> 02:27:00,559
and and and all of a sudden he he's wide

3141
02:27:00,600 --> 02:27:04,280
open and the defender has to make a decision should

3142
02:27:04,280 --> 02:27:05,920
I should I leave wide open LJ?

3143
02:27:06,120 --> 02:27:06,440
Speaker 12: Crier?

3144
02:27:06,879 --> 02:27:07,079
Speaker 7: Yeah?

3145
02:27:07,079 --> 02:27:09,879
Speaker 13: I better go get him forgetting about the uh uh

3146
02:27:10,719 --> 02:27:13,879
you saying you saying down low? But but that all

3147
02:27:14,120 --> 02:27:18,120
was generated by a play call. You know, LJ had

3148
02:27:18,159 --> 02:27:21,719
two or three picks they ran behind. I had the guts,

3149
02:27:22,360 --> 02:27:25,559
my goodness to to actually have a quick conversation on

3150
02:27:25,680 --> 02:27:26,239
more than one.

3151
02:27:26,159 --> 02:27:30,399
Speaker 1: Occasion with with a coach of the cougars, and I

3152
02:27:30,559 --> 02:27:33,719
mentioned to him that that it would be good.

3153
02:27:34,239 --> 02:27:34,479
Speaker 20: Great.

3154
02:27:34,760 --> 02:27:36,399
Speaker 3: Uh no, I'm gonna tell you what I say.

3155
02:27:36,680 --> 02:27:40,000
Speaker 13: I said, if you set picks for players on the

3156
02:27:40,040 --> 02:27:42,200
low block, he went a national championship.

3157
02:27:42,239 --> 02:27:43,200
Speaker 1: Well, now that took a lot of.

3158
02:27:43,200 --> 02:27:43,680
Speaker 4: Guts in it.

3159
02:27:45,319 --> 02:27:48,520
Speaker 1: You told him to say to drop that play, but

3160
02:27:48,879 --> 02:27:49,520
well no, no, no no.

3161
02:27:50,159 --> 02:27:51,799
Speaker 14: His response was what was important?

3162
02:27:52,120 --> 02:27:52,399
Speaker 20: Uh he?

3163
02:27:52,719 --> 02:27:55,760
Speaker 13: He said, yeah, we already got We already got that.

3164
02:27:56,040 --> 02:27:58,680
Speaker 1: We already got plays like that in the in his

3165
02:27:58,879 --> 02:28:00,440
last Ready show.

3166
02:28:00,559 --> 02:28:02,959
Speaker 13: You know that we still They allowed people out in

3167
02:28:03,000 --> 02:28:05,639
the audience to stand up and have a mic and

3168
02:28:06,159 --> 02:28:07,319
say say something to him.

3169
02:28:07,760 --> 02:28:09,120
Speaker 1: And I was the first one up there.

3170
02:28:09,799 --> 02:28:12,840
Speaker 13: And on this occasion, this was actually the third occasion,

3171
02:28:13,399 --> 02:28:15,719
I said, you set picks for pete players? Well out

3172
02:28:15,799 --> 02:28:18,239
to uh No, I asked him, do you do you

3173
02:28:18,360 --> 02:28:22,200
have plays that set picks for people without the ball?

3174
02:28:22,639 --> 02:28:25,079
I swear to god, I said that, and so I

3175
02:28:25,159 --> 02:28:27,079
found out. I said, that's the best way to say that,

3176
02:28:27,520 --> 02:28:29,280
you know what I mean, just ask him.

3177
02:28:29,680 --> 02:28:34,079
Speaker 1: His response was check this out. His response was, next question,

3178
02:28:34,479 --> 02:28:37,399
you know, he want to know party. He was like,

3179
02:28:37,440 --> 02:28:38,879
you know what, I've been doing this for a long

3180
02:28:38,879 --> 02:28:41,000
period of time. Thank you. Thank you very much for

3181
02:28:41,200 --> 02:28:41,959
the call. Jerry.

3182
02:28:44,239 --> 02:28:46,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that was play. I mean it was an

3183
02:28:46,000 --> 02:28:48,200
out of time out play. Coach you Doka runs out

3184
02:28:48,239 --> 02:28:51,319
of time out plays. Every every coach in the NBA runs.

3185
02:28:51,719 --> 02:28:53,760
They call them at O s. Yeah, that's good.

3186
02:28:54,120 --> 02:28:56,440
Speaker 1: It worked to perfection. They call him slove, sideline out

3187
02:28:56,440 --> 02:28:59,120
of bounds and all that type of stuff. You help me, Purdue,

3188
02:28:59,479 --> 02:29:02,000
Larry new Orleans at one hill O Larry.

3189
02:29:03,399 --> 02:29:08,280
Speaker 24: Matt Yes, Hey, thanks for taking the call. I'm a

3190
02:29:08,680 --> 02:29:15,239
nineteen seventy grad lifetime alumnus, not an alumni.

3191
02:29:15,440 --> 02:29:16,479
Speaker 1: That's several people.

3192
02:29:16,920 --> 02:29:19,120
Speaker 3: How many people misspeak that I was.

3193
02:29:19,159 --> 02:29:20,399
Speaker 1: In the pit in eighty three?

3194
02:29:21,399 --> 02:29:22,280
Speaker 4: It was pretty bad.

3195
02:29:23,239 --> 02:29:27,520
Speaker 24: I went straight denial. I said, okay, well that doesn't count.

3196
02:29:27,639 --> 02:29:30,319
We need to go overtime. Why are we going overtime?

3197
02:29:30,360 --> 02:29:34,959
Because if you want to talk about man, I hate.

3198
02:29:35,079 --> 02:29:39,319
Speaker 1: The seaword is terrible. But the coops, the coops choked.

3199
02:29:39,399 --> 02:29:40,239
Speaker 4: That was terrible.

3200
02:29:42,760 --> 02:29:45,040
Speaker 1: But the only way I look at it is they

3201
02:29:45,079 --> 02:29:46,000
were lucky to get there.

3202
02:29:46,440 --> 02:29:53,360
Speaker 24: Hey, great for reviving the program. Your show is great.

3203
02:29:54,280 --> 02:30:00,239
I've been in actually the year after the pit, flew

3204
02:30:00,319 --> 02:30:04,760
from Venezuela to Seattle to see him try to try

3205
02:30:04,840 --> 02:30:05,639
to do that, but.

3206
02:30:06,360 --> 02:30:09,440
Speaker 2: Maybe you're the bad curse. Thanks Larry for the phone call.

3207
02:30:10,440 --> 02:30:15,200
Larry not invited to go any more tournament games beating

3208
02:30:15,520 --> 02:30:18,399
then Patrick Ewing beat us the next year. Harsh, No,

3209
02:30:18,600 --> 02:30:24,680
Larry's good guy. Nineteen seventy pro Houston Coungar graduate. All right,

3210
02:30:24,799 --> 02:30:26,719
let's take a time out, come back and play believe

3211
02:30:26,719 --> 02:30:28,680
it or not? What are we going with Pope Francis

3212
02:30:28,719 --> 02:30:28,879
on this?

3213
02:30:28,959 --> 02:30:33,120
Speaker 1: Do we miss him doing? John Cena. Nico Harrison, the

3214
02:30:33,200 --> 02:30:36,200
Dallas Mavericks general manager, is meeting with the Dallas media

3215
02:30:36,239 --> 02:30:41,600
apparently everybody. When asked about Luka Doncic, she said, quote,

3216
02:30:41,760 --> 02:30:44,079
I didn't know Luca was important to the fan base.

3217
02:30:44,200 --> 02:30:48,399
I didn't know quite at this level. Are you stupid?

3218
02:30:48,479 --> 02:30:49,559
Are you Martin Angleton?

3219
02:30:49,639 --> 02:30:50,000
Speaker 3: Stupid?

3220
02:30:50,280 --> 02:30:54,959
Speaker 1: Seriously? How now?

3221
02:30:55,120 --> 02:30:58,799
Speaker 2: Obviously this general manager, Nico Harrison, is the fall guy

3222
02:30:58,879 --> 02:31:00,799
for the ownership group. There's no way fans or but

3223
02:31:01,000 --> 02:31:04,120
this guy's taking it like he is. But my god,

3224
02:31:04,920 --> 02:31:08,559
how do you how do you misread how important Luka

3225
02:31:08,600 --> 02:31:10,280
Doncic is to your organization?

3226
02:31:12,200 --> 02:31:16,840
Speaker 1: He is a All NBA player. He is a walking

3227
02:31:17,799 --> 02:31:23,280
twenty five thirty point guy, twelve rebounds, five assists, he

3228
02:31:23,440 --> 02:31:25,840
is a generational talent. And oh, by the way, he

3229
02:31:26,000 --> 02:31:28,639
helped you go to the West NBA Finals last year

3230
02:31:29,000 --> 02:31:32,200
you won the Western Conference. What do you mean? I

3231
02:31:32,360 --> 02:31:34,440
didn't know Luca was important to the fan base. I

3232
02:31:34,520 --> 02:31:37,159
didn't know quite at this level. Are you some kind

3233
02:31:37,200 --> 02:31:40,680
of stupid? My god?

3234
02:31:42,000 --> 02:31:45,760
Speaker 2: I am so tired of falling down and praying to

3235
02:31:45,840 --> 02:31:48,760
these front office executives and these owners and these general

3236
02:31:48,799 --> 02:31:50,840
managers who think they're the smartest guys in the room

3237
02:31:51,000 --> 02:31:52,559
when really they're not very, very bright.

3238
02:31:55,200 --> 02:31:59,680
Speaker 1: That move Luka Doncic being traded to Los Angeles might

3239
02:32:00,040 --> 02:32:09,120
ultimately cost the Dallas Mavericks ten years, ten seasons. I

3240
02:32:09,200 --> 02:32:10,360
didn't realize how important.

3241
02:32:10,440 --> 02:32:11,239
Speaker 3: What do you what do you mean?

3242
02:32:11,319 --> 02:32:11,360
Speaker 12: What?

3243
02:32:11,520 --> 02:32:16,120
