Speaker 1: Is the Matt Thomas Show with Ross.
Speaker 2: Get it down.
Speaker 3: Good morning, and welcome to a Friday edition of a
Matt Thomas Show with Ross. This is Sports Talk seven
ninety Yeah, why are you throwing Jonathan on the bus
And I'm not trying to be due on dude. Yeah,
you're hurting that right. Our producer Jonathan doesn't want to
be dude on dude and man can't get boned enough. Oh,
Sports RV. You sound better today. It looks like you're
on the road to recover. And thank you about that.
Speaker 4: I'm very happy about it as well. Put me on
the list.
Speaker 3: How many boxes of tissue have you gone through in
the last handful of days?
Speaker 4: It's just been more rolls of toilet paper?
Speaker 3: Oh really?
Speaker 4: Is that?
Speaker 3: I don't know. I'm not classic enough to buy tissues.
I mean both they get the job done. No, I
wouldn't say. Aren't they basically the same thing? Maybe there's
a little emit of moisturizer in.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean phoen X with alo is nice, but
it's also expensive.
Speaker 3: Mattie. Yeah, yeah, that's gonna say. I'm not gonna spend them.
I'm going to the Dollar General exactly. All right, Good morning, everybody.
It is the Matt Thomas Show with Ross. Our time
is at ten oh four. I'm coming to you from Miami, Florida,
where tomorrow afternoon the Rockets will be taking on the
Miami Heat. Last night, the Rockets were in Orlando and
Ross before we get into a deep dive of all
the big things that are going on in sports today,
I think it's very important for this show to recognize greatness.
And when we see greatness, we have to recognize it
because sometimes we feel like we do too much of negativity.
That's true, too much sadness in sports, and not only
in sports, but in life and the news and everything. Matt, So,
ladies and gentlemen here at ten oh four, eleven o
four in the Eastern time zone, I'm going to recognize greatness.
The greatness is the women of Miami are amazing. Okay,
I had no clue where this was going. I went
to have breakfast downstairs. I mean, it's it's goin to
get it. It's a heavy hitter. Go ahead. So it's
nine five, ten o'clock Eastern time. There are women getting
croissants and fresh fruit and squeeze juices.
Speaker 4: Like they're going to an ambassador's ball.
Speaker 3: You just don't understand that Miami women have to look
the part almost twenty four to seven in this town.
Speaker 4: Yeah you're you're in the nice part of town too.
Speaker 3: I imagine I'm in downtown, and I mean, my goodness.
Speaker 4: Look, I love our Houston women. I love my Houston wife.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, make sure you get that one in there.
Ye gotta make sure I said that bunch of ross.
We might want to say that one more time. Yeah,
I love my Houston wife. There you go, and we
are pretty in Houston too. But I gotta say, Ross,
it's not it's not. It's not a downplay towards Houston.
But Miami is just a different level. It's just it
is bartel money associated with it. Yes, are there illegal
activities going on with some of these women and there
and their boyfriends that are two hundred and eighty five
pounds that have five buttons undone because everybody's above board
in Houston. Hey, it's probably more cartel money in Houston
than there is in Miami.
Speaker 4: Let me take you something.
Speaker 3: We're so clean and nice in Houston that hundreds of
thousands of kids are running to spring break in Houston
just because.
Speaker 4: We're so nice. That's actually true.
Speaker 5: Yeah, eleven thirty. I'm sorry, Matt Michelle.
Speaker 3: He wants an apology. You're not getting an apology. You
got one person tweeting you saying there's too many spring
breakers here, how many one? How many impresses it? I
said to tweet last night. I'm gonna be honest. I
started to fight the group chat. I was the group
chat instigator among the three of us last night. It's fine. Hey, uh,
we've got a few things on the agenda today, We've
got I'm sorry. He's at eleven thirty, and I'm not
apologizing until I see the numbers on like the Chamber
of Commerce, I'm not I'm not trusting Jonathan Allen's numbers. Now.
If hotel room rates of the next two weeks two
weeks are going up one hundred and fifty percent, and
you've got every restaurant is full and every freeway the
traffic is worse than that, I will apologize in future weeks,
but not this week. Not yet.
Speaker 4: There's been a bikini on set.
Speaker 3: Yeah, let me let me tell you. I mean, if
we'll call the p I letter today and see how
business is going, I mean, I think he's not wrong.
I don't know, and it's not I don't think. I
think half a mill is probably over selling it, a
little bit of an over sell. Are there people coming
to Houston? Of course because Goveston is just an hour's
drive away, and of course it's a little too far.
You run out of Texas allows throughout Southeast Texas to
experience a greatness of our Sure, all right, we've got
I'm sorry at eleven thirty. We'll wake the strippers up
today at noon, which probably I could just go down
a couple of doors down at my hotel, if you know,
if you've being brutally honest with you. Uh.
Speaker 4: We have the return of Florida Stories at one thirty.
Speaker 3: Rules of any of the three of us, I think
in the state of Florida for any length, I think
we should get three Florida stories apiece. It almost like
we could do the entire hour just Florida stories. I
think you'd be pretty good, maybe better than because it
discussing whether or not c J Stride as a coach killer.
Is that we're doing today Houston? Is that what's going
on in those streets? Is that what's happening? I'd rather
talk about teams end season and teams that are playing
and like teams that are having amazing comebacks. Last night,
I mean, I gotta be burly honest. When they were
down nineteen, I had my hand on my chin, going
can we get out of here fast enough? I'm like,
we're gonna let Tristan da Silva beat the Rockets. Javon
Carter's gonna do this. And then Read Shepherd woke up,
Kevin Durant woke up, and Rockets Twitter did it wake
up this morning in a better mood? Because it was
oh yeah, crank mid third quarter yesterday. And they're all
patting themselves on the back because Read Shepherd closed a game,
which I think I need to pat myself on the
back and take full credit because I asked coach yesterday
what it was it gonna take to get him closing,
and then he's closing.
Speaker 4: You're welcome, Houston. You hear that, folks. There are very
few people in this town.
Speaker 3: Trust me when I say this, they can responsibly talk
about the Houston Rockets. My partner, Rossville Rial is one
of them. Oh wow, thank you, Matt. Oh you're welcome.
So you inspired. Yes, in the fourth quarter of that
game to say.
Speaker 4: You know what?
Speaker 3: I was on my radio show, my weekly radio Yes,
and this great idea came from one of the guys.
Speaker 4: I don't know his name, but he had no he does,
he has no clue. But that's okay. He barely knows
my name. Stop, still appreciate him.
Speaker 3: Comes on every week, does great, doesn't has not dropped
a damn dude on anybody.
Speaker 4: No, damn dude. No, I think I know what I'm doing.
It's a tough one and easy one.
Speaker 3: I asked Dusty why what Yroner needs to do to
play more? And he said, I think I know what
I'm doing. Yeah, he didn't like that. Good times, good times,
uh truth true story. One of our members of our
traveling party was talking to another member of the Houston Rockets.
I won't say who it was, but it was a
starting five and this person said, yeah, I went to
have lunch with Matt and that players. Who's Matt? He says,
already announce it. Oh, I like that, that's my guy. Yeah,
it's your gear is guy Ross. They don't know my name.
That's okay, it's okay. They meet five hundred people to day, man,
it's you know, it's not only been doing this for
ten years. I'm just say it. I know, but I mean,
you know, you can go with you to the building
and meet the security guard every single day for ten
years and don't know his name it happens. That's actually fair.
That's fair as long as he says, hey, as long
as I get the head one in the elevator and
then what's up?
Speaker 4: How you doing? Big what's up? Big dogs?
Speaker 3: That's the main main man. Do yes, chief, Yes, here
are things that I've been referred to, my main man,
my dog, my guy, Yes, boss, hoss, I've got them all. Yes,
Matt not one of them. And suspect no, that's never
brought up. Oh my grandfather never brought up. Maybe my
older brother. But that's as far as it's ever gone.
So ross would you think about last night? That was
pretty impressive And the best part of it was not
only did they erase the nineteen point lead, Rossie, they
did it in five minutes. Yeah, they were one for
fourteen from three at one point, and then they got
down was the most that got down nineteen or eighteen,
nineteen nineteen, And I was just like, this is not
their night, and they just completely turned around and reed.
Sheepper was a huge part of that. He also closed
the game when it was late and close, which a
lot of people have been asking for and wondering about.
And that was great to watch. And he was fantastic.
And Kevin Durant is ageless. Forty points in forty minutes.
Forty points forty minutes and he wasn't even good effiicient
and went to the free throw line ten times and
made all ten of them. He started zero for six
from three right or for seven, so he could have
been better. That's the crazy part.
Speaker 4: And then Orlando was a good game, and that's a
good win.
Speaker 3: I mean Orlando's mid but that they just finished a
three and one road trip beat both LA teams while
they're on the road, So that was a hot teammate
one six of eight coming in. I'm in a good
mood because I've seen a lot of epic collapses. I
saw the twenty five point loss in New Orleans, I
saw the eighteen point loss last Saturday in New York,
and I'm in South Florida. I mean, life couldn't be
any better. ROSSI at wish you were here. We could
be doing the show together. We go out and Tessy's
Miami Streets after the show today, I love Miami. Miami's
amazing good town ladies and gentlemen. On this Friday edition
of the program is like every Friday that has been
in the history of the sixteen years plus of this show.
It's an anything Goes Friday, Ross explaining the essen's been
Anything Goes Friday, Yes, Matthew or anything you want to
get in on you can seven one three two one
two five seven ninety is the phone number seven one
three two one two five seven ninety. We have the
Rockets with the comeback victory last night, Reed Shepherd playing
in clutch time minutes as far as I know, at
least with a fully healthy team for the first time
all all season long. You have astros in spring training action.
Tatsuyi e My made his debut yesterday. He got hit
with a comebacker and only pitched one inning, but apparently
that was the plan. Anyways. You also have who's a
Lance mccullors junior on the hill today, Matt I forget
he is a night game. Yeah, and I think that's
also not on TV, So make sure you tune here
at Sports Talk seven ninety and then Matt Thomas is
gonna break down cartel violence in the history as it
relates to US Mexico relations coming up in the next hour. Yeah,
and am I in a bulletproof room? Just curious, just
asking for a friend? Probably Why did you pay for
the bulletproof suite. I'm just saying there's a little more.
I mean, look like we have the we have the
Presidential Suite, we have the bed and breakfast suite, and
we also have the bulletproof suite. Yeah. I mean there's
there's street there's crime on these streets in Miami. Don't
kid yourself.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I know I've seen scarface. I have not.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's got a lot of violence. I'm not surprised.
It's fine, Okay, whatever anything goes Friday seven one three
two one two five seven Untie seven one three two

not that it makes any difference at all, but they're
pretty name quiet.
Speaker 4: It'd be nice to see some results. Some results, be
nice to see it.
Speaker 3: We're going to talk about how an NBA team is
going with an interesting marketing plan on the radio show today.
Speaker 4: Eve don't if you saw that? Okay, I think maybe.
Speaker 3: We have the Texans you know those report cards of
the players Association, Yes, at the NFL owners try to
squash well, everybody released them anyway, not to the happiness
of some teams. That what happened to that? I thought
it was illegal? It's leaked illegal? Do a media that? Yeah,
I was gonna say, I thought they lost their their
injunction or whatever. And are we gonna get into Cli
Capella versus DeAndre Ayton. That is a little inside baseball,
but it's certainly still a fun topic. And then we
have President Trump getting involved in a creation of a
college sports commission.
Speaker 4: Really, okay, had you heard of this?
Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll be telling you about who he's invited to
this get together. It's an interesting collection of people involved
with college athletics, both from a fundraising standpoint, a coaching standpoint,
and an administrative standpoint. So we have that going on
now is anything goes Friday? Here on the show, we
have two phone callers here. We have Cliff of the
barbecue question. Oh great, I'm assuming talking about the Rodeo
Cookoff this weekend or just maybe general. I don't ask
Matt though, because he's not very barbecue educated. If you
would like to talk about ribs, sausage, chop be, I'm
all for it, beans, coaslaw, potato salad, onions, pickles, jalapenos,
white bread.
Speaker 4: Let's go sauce.
Speaker 3: No, no, you you don't even.
Speaker 4: Like sauce like sauce.
Speaker 3: I got you say, Sweet Baby rais as good as
homemade sauce. No way, he says that, because some people
will go out there and sell your sauce is about
the same.
Speaker 4: Matt, this is not a bit.
Speaker 3: I can get you five sauces. Listen to me very carefully, good, Okay, okay, okay,
stay with me on this. I can get Bubba Joe
McCreery to give me this amazing sauce that it took
him hours and hours to make, and I can put
it up against the Sweet Baby rays and you will
not have a noticeable difference. And you put you put
your name on that.
Speaker 4: I put my name on it.
Speaker 3: Mister Texas knows do you hear this, folks, I know
you know what I go to. Johnathan is speechless. Actually,
he's got his hands in his head. I thought he
was missing around Now. I did say one time, and
I'm ready to back off of this a little bit.
I did say Walmart generic sauce.
Speaker 4: Yes, you did.
Speaker 3: You said great value, and I believe Casey Masterpiece. Casey
Masterpiece is fine too. Oh boy, but I don't want
you guys. Oh man, I spent so many hours put
in the ingredients to get over my perpecuse. It's so special.
Let me guess. It's got brown sugar. It's got sugar,
it's got a few peppersented catch up, and that's about it.
There's your sauce. Congratulations. Why I make the best sauce.
Oh hell no, let me get some sweet baby rays
will be just fine. The worst candidate for mister Texas,
I am mister Texas.
Speaker 4: Is the worst candidate.
Speaker 3: Is still speechless. He's got his he's still got his
hands in his head.
Speaker 4: Now he's doing the prayer hands he's praying for you.
Speaker 6: Man.
Speaker 3: Literally live on air cliff On seven ninety good morning

Speaker 7: Hello, guys, got a quick question on cooking. I know

But what's the exception of tom does it take to
choke your chicken properly?
Speaker 3: Seven one three two one two five seven ninety.
Speaker 4: Stunner, you're on seven ninety.
Speaker 8: Good morning, Well so happy friding toll.
Speaker 3: Y'all same to you.
Speaker 8: Hey, hey, Matt, you you forgot a name that I

Speaker 3: That's fair, of course.
Speaker 8: You big tim But hey man, I wanted to put
it in on my uh since y'all cut it short yesterday. Man,
you know that the eighties huntings Man, you have to
go with Phoby ks and and space and dash and
one other thing. Man, before I let you go, Hey man,
were already thinking about slumping busses for the Astros already.
He ain't even got into the season good and I'm
already thinking about, Hey, we gotta start working on slump busters.
Speaker 3: I hope not. It's Donna. Thank you for the phone call,
my friend. Have a good weekend. I don't think you
need a slump buster in the spring, right I wouldn't
think so early. I Well, I'll say this, it depends
on what side of nine ninety five you're going to.
Speaker 4: You go. Let's say you go, uh west.
Speaker 3: Off of A ninety five, you're gonna you're gonna you're
gonna find the ladies. Another gonna be walking on the street,
and they may have a few teeth missing, but they'll,
I mean, the job will get done. You go to
the righta by ninety five towards the water, it's a
different story. You better you better bring uh you know,
a prepaid check or something. No, I don't ross. I
don't think anybody's worring about spring training slumpbusters. Well they
they did get shut out in a spring training game yesterday.
So all right, we'll do this. Let's be fair and
balanced here. We will look at the spring training stats
so far.
Speaker 4: We No, we don't have to. Oh come on, letna
be at least for the sake.
Speaker 3: Okay, Well, just let's record you saying zero, so we
think we can we can save some time. Oh it,
we hit the zero button every time you go through
somebody's old batting average. Do we have to look at
the strike coount numbers too?
Speaker 4: Zero?
Speaker 3: Yeah? You know what actually come come up with a
final list of uh, how to say zero in fifteen
different languages. Let's at least make it educational. Well, how
about based on balls? They are drawn a lot of
walks that with Brian McTaggart's treet a couple of names.
Zilch not up next. Astros Spring Training stats. Oh no,
and Jonathan, please find appropriate music, Rosca have them out.
Find music that will fit the essence of me reading
Astro Spring Training Stats ten twenty seven. Matten Ross with
you here. I'm here in Miami seven one three two
one two five seven ninety seven one three two one
two five is seven ninety This is a terrible.
Speaker 4: That Ross is a jam, Matthew, are you talking about
it's a jam?
Speaker 3: But it just doesn't it's just rude.
Speaker 4: I think it's a perfect pick.
Speaker 3: All right, So let's do this. Let's do ops. That's
base plus lugging.
Speaker 4: Creat what's zero plus zero?
Speaker 3: Matthew?
Speaker 4: This quick question.
Speaker 3: Look, I'm just asking, and the problem is I have
every player that is played, So it's gonna take me
while there's like one hundred deep on this roster. These
players go ahead. Actually, yeah, let's care about people. We
care about Charles as An ops of zero.
Speaker 4: As I said, okay, great.
Speaker 3: Let's see here. I'm going down the list. There's pictures
in this thing, too, which just makes it hard. Walker
ops of zero Okay, Oh my god, you're not kidding.
Like five thousand players have had a played appearance ops
for Zach Decenzeo's one hundred's okay, it's an improvement. Joey
low Perfidos ops is two fifty. Let's go slugging. Cam
Smith ops of three thirty three. It's something, it's not nothing.
Coose ops is four forty four. Remember ops is considered
about average, about seven twenty five. You want to be higher.
That's correct that we haven't gripped close to that yet.
Speaker 4: Shay Wickham ops. Four seventy six.
Speaker 3: Sneaky snake. Jake Myers ops of five thirty three Baller
Jeremy Pennye ops of five eighty three. Okay, saysar Salas
our backup patcher ops.
Speaker 4: Six sixty one. Not good.
Speaker 3: Bryce Matthews ops seven oh eight. Okay, Alan, guys that
what's the first name of the backup shorts down? Nick
nick Allen eight seventy five ops. Okay, Taylor Trammeill ops
of almost thirteen hundred.
Speaker 4: There we go, Taylor Trammell MVP season is on.
Speaker 3: And Walter Yannick or Johnick or however they pronounce that
we'll have to figure that out eventually. It's hopefully ops
of fifteen to fifty baller. So it's Walker Yannick and
the boys. Who is Jack Winkler by the way, I
believe it's the younger son of Henry, the youngest son
of Henry Winkler. Oh, okay, that's cool. He's he's been
in a couple of bit parts. Why'd you bring him up?
Because he's got a fifteen hundred ops for the Astros
in Spring were positions he play, say second base?
Speaker 4: Oh that's great. That'll help.
Speaker 3: Imagine being a second baseman of the Astros organization for
the last fifteen years. He's twenty you've got to be
like in every minor league Hall of Fame the Astros have,
he's twenty seven. Ooh, he's like getting.
Speaker 4: Me out of here.
Speaker 3: And of course they're ops Spring leader. Anthony Hoiso nineteen
thirty three is his OPS. You see his jersey number.
I'm gonna hit the number here. Do not say it
here comes. This is me being live and authentic on
the show ninety six. He's only twenty years old, though,
So that's good. That's good. Do you think as you
get older and you've been the minor leagues as longer
that you get better numbers in spring training games?
Speaker 9: Like?
Speaker 3: Is his goal to get in the eighties by next year?
Speaker 9: Oh?
Speaker 4: Like your number of whittles down?
Speaker 3: Yes? Like if they hand you a fifty three, it
means you've got a year on the cusp of making
the roster. Yeah, ninety six six, We'll see you next year.
Enjoy being a woodpecker.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Seven one three two one two five seven ninety is it?
Anything goes Friday here on the show seven one three
two one two five seven AINETI I'm here in Miami.
Ross is back in Houston, Kevin and Parland. I want
to talk some rockets. At ten thirty five, Kevin, good
morning to you. Good morning, Matt.
Speaker 4: I'm Kevin.
Speaker 10: Uh the one that Ross is probably uh he thinks
I'm his like favorite fan. Anyways, Uh, you know get
the Yeah.
Speaker 4: I appreciate you, Kevin. Thank you for your support.
Speaker 6: Kevin, even though I'm a cougar brother with Mattie, and
you're a tea shipper.
Speaker 3: I still love you.
Speaker 4: That's great.
Speaker 7: So so Matt Red Shepherd.
Speaker 6: You know, if anything goes you know. And I apologize
to Read.
Speaker 3: Even though he doesn't know me.
Speaker 10: I'm on a fantasy basketball team.
Speaker 6: I got him for one dollar and I dropped him
after like two or three weeks, and so now I'm
I'm actually I'm sorry to myself because he's really starting
to play good.
Speaker 3: So I love Reading. You know, He's great.
Speaker 6: And Matt, I had to ask you. You love your
Houston wife? How about your Kingwood wife? Do you love her?
Speaker 3: I love her too? Yes, okay, I was talking about
my Houston wife.
Speaker 6: Do you have a I see? Do you have any
other like wives that we know of?
Speaker 3: Or Utah?
Speaker 4: One time I was in Utah.
Speaker 3: That's you know what, Kevin, that's a fair question to
ask me. And if I had not lived in Utah
for two years, I'd be offended. But since I lived
in Utah, that's a fair question, right.
Speaker 6: Okay, that's all nothing really important.
Speaker 3: Have a great day, love y'all. I see you later.
You know, I I don't want to get caught up
and who starts and who doesn't? Start, But apparently I
think Rocket fans do.
Speaker 4: I am.
Speaker 3: I look, I've been watching basketball and calling basketball, have
been around basketball all my life. I love six men,
I love scoring guys off the bench.
Speaker 4: I love that burst.
Speaker 3: And frankly, if you go back to what Theros had
again thirty plus years aging is there's so many more
examples since then. But if you go back to the
Rocket championship years, people were clamoring Ross for Kenny Smith
to not be the starting lineup and have Scott Brooks
come in at start or Sam Cassell. Yes, I like
change of pace thing. And if Reid wants to give
me thirteen fourteen to fifteen points off the bench every
single game, you need that, because how if you checked
the Rockets bench roster right now.
Speaker 4: A whole lot of scoring on it. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I think it's just something that fans get hung up
on and have like like you said, and maybe read
Shepherd should. Maybe it is the best thing that he's
in the starting lineup. Who knows that.
Speaker 4: That's for the Rockets to figure out.
Speaker 3: But the most important thing is that he played thirty
minutes and forty one seconds. That is more than him
and Thompson and more than Jabari Smith Junior and ten
seconds fewer than Alprin Shingoon, so three starters, he was
on par with in terms of his minutes, and he
was in the closing lineup. And as you said, he
provides scoring punch off the bach inch, which you need
because your other bench guys, you got twenty from Reid
and you got to combine thirteen from the rest of
your bench with Clint Cappelladorian Pineysmith and Josh Okogie. Right,
And obviously if Fred is with his team, my guess
is Tarry Easton is coming off the bench, which Food
had some scoring punch too. But there's been nights where
he has been I mean, he didn't score double digits
last night, but he's his three ball has not started,
has not dropped in about two or three weeks, so
he's starting to cool off there. Yeah, he ought to
be a you know, yeah, sorry, he wasn't gonna shoot
fifty percent all season.
Speaker 4: That's what I was gonna say.
Speaker 3: Good, No, it was not no, And he's still in
the top ten, but he's starting to fall a little bit.
By the way, I don't have any word about Jabarney
Smith in the ankle. There's no report needed because the
guys are completely off today, so there's no injury update,
no practice anything, so we won't know anything until tomorrow morning.
But hopefully whatever he I think, did he step on
or outpro and step on his ankle set, Yeah, he
stepped on Alprin's ankle. At first, it looked like non
contact and I got real worried because he went down
in a heat. But then on the replay he slightly
And you can never go off the eye tap because
I'm not a doctor, but just from my eyes, it
didn't look like he turned it too bad. It didn't
look like you know, when you see it like a
ninety degree angle, you're like, Okay, that's gonna be a
couple of weeks. It looked like a slight turn of
the ankle, so hopefully he won't miss too much time. Frankly,
I was more concerned about Tari Easton. He was on
the floor for about forty five seconds, limping from one
end of the floor to the other. He gets the
rockets intentionally foul a magic player, and then he goes
to the end of the bench.
Speaker 4: Doesn't even sit down.
Speaker 3: He lays down on the court of the baseline stretches
out a little bit, and then he got back on
the court. In fact, he was on the court when
the game ended. So I was way more encouraged about
that than I could have been, because I thought, really,
when he was struggling just to run up and down
the floor, this could be something serious, cause obviously Tari
has had his issues with legs over the last couple
of years. But yeah, I don't think all of a
sudden the Rockets go into this different type of basketball
team because Reed Sheppard is running point to start the
game over him and Thompson. Now well, email changes too.
Speaker 4: And one of us.
Speaker 3: I don't think he will, but the best coaches sometimes
want to if things are working out well. Again, to me,
Reid starting does it is not the reason why they're
not starting, is not the reason why the Rockets are
having fourth quarter meltdowns. That's the if there is a
story about what's going wrong for the Rockets this year,
it's been close out games. That has nothing to do
with who starts the game or who starts the second half. Yeah,
the easy criticism and then the next game was that
Reid wasn't on the floor. They turned them, they didn't
get into their sets, they didn't have good offense, and
then they turned the ball over nine times and gave
up fifteen points. Off of that, they only scored fifteen
points themselves. So if you're giving up as many points
as you're scoring on turnovers, you're not gonna win a
fourth quarter. Well, here's the thing that you brought up
with Ema yesterday, and this is where the metrics will
come into play. Does Reid provide enough of a scoring
presence that you can live with his defension defensive inefficiencies
because he's just not a good defender. He's he hasn't
been yet. Just because you steal the ball does not
make a good defender. Now, he does have good intuition
when it comes to passes coming stripping of the basketball.
He can take the ball away from just by anybody.
But there are still some things about his game defensively
from his footwork that cost him opportunities to play lat
in games because you know, he may is a defensive
minded coach and he wants his best defensive lineup out there,
especially when you're playing a game within five points. Yeah,
I think it's I mean, even last night, Red Sheepper
was great. I mean there was times he was miscommunicating
on picking rolls. There was times he was getting muscled
up by Desmond Bain. He was getting blown by by
I think I can't remember who it was. Somebody was
blown by him a couple of the other time. I
think it was maybe Jevon Carter or somebody like that.
He got blown by a few times. It wasn't perfect defensively,
and he's trying to get better, and he is. But
you also have to realize you have a defensive minded
coach and when you he's going to look through a
defensive minded lens.
Speaker 4: So he's going to focus on that. And it makes sense.
I get it.
Speaker 3: I would rather have Red Sheperd more out there, especially
in closing lineups. We got it last night and it
was great. And like it's not like I may is
like I'll never put Read in the final four or
five minutes a game because you guess what he was
out there last night?
Speaker 4: Was he not?
Speaker 3: Yes? So it's not like he's inflexible to this. But
I do like Read a lot. He is very easy
ross to like and appreciate, and he is I mean,
think about just the leaps and bounds he's made one
year I mean, he hardly played relatively speaking, last year,
and now he's your first guy off your bench. He's
been in double digits from the jump, and his three
point shot, at least for the last two weeks, has
been absolutely fantastic. And as you mentioned, it would be
probably in lieu of Tarry Easton starting and Tarry Easton.
Even though he's been struggling from three lately, I believe
his season numbers are still higher than Reed Shepherd's or
at least if not commed. Are you yeah? Now here
is the the wild card on this look, I don't.
Speaker 4: Dorian Finneysmith just had a terrible year. I think it's
just been off.
Speaker 3: Whether it's the health, the legs, whether the SHOT's not
dropped or whatever, but it's just it just hasn't worked out.
But Dorian finney Smith has had a very nice NBA career.
You may not have him on the front page of
your on your cover of your video game, but he's
been a very solid player. He just hasn't a good season.
So if you can get two, three, four baskets a
game from Josha Kogi Ross, that is kind of a
little bit of a wild card.
Speaker 4: Again, Josh makes a rotation.
Speaker 3: Again, they're trying to get because Donny and Finney Smith
in theory has a higher ceiling than Joshakogy but he's playing,
so they're trying to a win games, but be and
B put him out there and get him into shape
and get him into the rhythm. And it's just not working.
And and oh, by the way, you have him under
contract for not only this year, but two more years
plus a player options. So it's not like people like
Donry Finny Smith's you gottaut him, you gotta get rid
of him.
Speaker 4: You can't. You gotta stash him on the bench. They
they can't do that.
Speaker 3: They have to try to figure out have to put
him out there and figure out a way for him
to get better and improve. And the only to do
that is it put him out there. So it looks bad,
but they need Dorian Finney Smith to be good for
the playoffs because he's better defensively overall in theory, or
at least comparable I should say, with Josha Kogi, and
then he's supposed to be a better three point shooter.
Speaker 4: If you look at their track records.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's the thing is DFS is having his worst
year from three, Joshky is having his best year, and
that's those are certainly opposite ends of the spectrum. Ten
forty four is a time that it's Madden Ross. I'm
here in Miami. We've got Rockets basketball tomorrow against the
heat we have. We will not get into the Astros
spring training numbers anymore. That was not fair because again
the sample size incredibly small. We do have baseball tonight
here on seven nineties. Lance McCullers will take them out
and he is backed up by Spitzer Erraghetti. So two
front lineris will be on the mound today for the Astros.
Will have the broadcast for you beginning at four point
fifty today here on Sports Talk seven ninety dam coming
up at the top of the hour, the NFL Players
Association gave a bunch of media the grades on NFL
teams and how they treat themselves, treat their facilities, and
how they feel about their coaches. Will tell you how
the Texans scored. It's pretty good if you think about it.
It will run through some of the grating of how
the Texans did when it was coming to the players
and how they assess and evaluate their own franchise. That's
coming up at the top of the hour. Now, this
was a little inside baseball to me, but it is
funny and I want ross if you don't mind explaining it. Yes,
pay is a backup center for the Houston Rockets. He
has had a nice long NBA career. It was a
late first round pick of the Rockets. What about ten
years ago, ten fifteen years ago? Maybe not that long,
but had a nice rocket career, got some good money
to go to the Atlanta Hawks, and then the Rockets
reacquired him back and his career as a Rocket. I
mean he's not playing a whole lot of minutes. He's
a little older, but he's still I mean, he ran
the floor beautiful last night, did he not? He would
not even will speed one time. I didn't score off
of it, but at least he did it.
Speaker 4: Yes, So go ahe you want me to start? No,
keep going you, I want you to go explain what's
going on here?
Speaker 9: Uh?
Speaker 3: DeAndre Ayton has been struggling with the Lakers and of
course former number one overall pick, and then after a
game with the Lakers, he said they're trying to make me.
Clint Capella Aiden said, I'm not no Clint Capella unhappy
with his role with the Los Angeles Lakers, so Clint Cappella.
A lot of people came to Clint Capella's defense, especially
in his prime Matthew as you know, I mean, he
finished sixth in a Defensive Player of the Year. He
was a great, rim running, do everything, switchable defender for
the Rockets in the Chris Paul slash James harden Era
like Clint Cappella was a really good player in his
prime and they so people were bringing up his stats
when he was twenty six twenty seven compared to Aton's
and how he's better, and then the cherry on top
was last night.
Speaker 4: Everybody was talking about, Oh, look at Clint Cappella.
Speaker 3: He had I think it was like four points and
two rebounds, but he had four blocks, and then DeAndre
eight and for the Lakers was worse he had.
Speaker 4: I had to pull up the box score.
Speaker 3: He had like two points and two rebounds in twenty
three minutes or something like that and a defensive liability.
By the way, the Lakers defense is arous. I cannot
wait for the Rockets to play the Lakers at the
first round of the playoffs. Yeah, DeAndre Eton had two
points four rebounds and zero blocks, and Clint Capella, who
is longer in the tooth, was better than him. And
DeAndre Eaton is a former number one overall pick talking
about I'm not Clin Coppell. He's averaging thirteen and eight
Clint Capella and his prime was averaging like seventeen and nine.
Speaker 4: Yes, so I back up DeAndre eight.
Speaker 3: So weird though, Yeah, it was so weird roster that
he would pull out a Clint Capeller rant. I mean,
Clint's been in the NBA a long time, but Clint,
by no means is a household name around thirty NBA streets. Yeah,
but put yeah and put some respect on Clint Capella's name.
Baby thirty one years old.
Speaker 4: He's had a great career.
Speaker 3: He's made a lot of money too, Clint Capella has.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I made a lot of money, one hundred and
thirty million.
Speaker 3: I was a former MC of a Clint Capella Foundation
event as a matter of fact.
Speaker 4: Oh that's great. Yeah.
Speaker 3: And also, by the way, yes, a swell fella Clin Capella.
And by the way, he's I'm one of my guys.
Oh good, doesn't know my name, but I'm my guy.
Speaker 4: That's great.
Speaker 3: Yeah. That eighteen nineteen year, the Clin Capella averaged sixteen
points six points per game and oh, I'm sorry, twelve
point seven rebounds. With Atlanta, he led the NBA in
rebounds with fourteen. DeAndre eight and has never done that.
How about this, who's at the better NBA career right now?
It's Clin Cappella. It's not even close. What is eight?
Speaker 4: Never done it?
Speaker 3: Yeah? DeAndre looks like he's always miserable to it me.
He's like, I'm seven feet toad. I guess i have
to play NBA basketball, but I'm not happy here. He
finished third and Rookie of the Year his rookie year,
did Deonder eight, And it hasn't had any finished in
any kind of voting since at least Clint Capela's been
into well. He went to a Western Finals and I
guess aiden went to an NBA Finals with Chris Paul
and Devin Booker. But fourteenth in the Defensive Player of
the Year in eighteen and six in the Defensive Player
of the Year in twenty one did Clint Capella? Yeah?
And by the way, just a sweet kid. I mean,
and I thought last night block shouts were great. I
mean four of them. He ain't gonna do it for
twenty five minutes to night, but he can do it
for you for twelve or thirteen. Yeah, so DeAndre Ayton
was Hayton one. Didn't mean to rhyme that bit of
works and did and then he had a worse box
score than Clint Cappella.
Speaker 4: Beautiful stuff.
Speaker 3: And I think Clint Cappella went to his Instagram and
started to rip it on him. Yeah, yeah, man, you
can't be tunning out about me. I will well. He
went on his Instagram basically and said, he said, you
have two of the best floor generals in the league.
Lock in, I think saying like when Clint Clint Cappella
benefited from from James Harden and Chris Paul, like he
was throwing down lobs like crazy, like DeAndre E can
get under the basket. I think that's what de Andre
was getting now, Like I don't want to be just
some rin running defender. He wants to be uh the
offense run through him. But you're you're not that guy,
Dean rad You're not. That's stupid. That's stupid, all right. Uh,
I have been called out because mister Texas failed to
do something an hour ago that I'll start the eleven
o'clock hour room.
Speaker 4: Hmm. And it's a and I should have known better.

at the bottom of the hour. So the UH player
responses are back from seventeen hundred and fifty nine players.
Anybody that was on a twenty twenty five NFL roster
was eligible to participate in Things about your football team,
and all thirty two teams were judged on a variety
of things. And I don't particularly care how the Cleveland
Browns people thought about the Cleveland Browns. I don't care
the Panthers thought about the Panthers. But I care about
how the Texans feel about their own organization. And Oz
Frost I think if you're the Texans, you don't necessarily
mind these things getting out. Let me tell you among
the thirty two NFL teams, they were scored seventh best. Now,
usually every time the Ros the Texans are involved in
some sort of survey, they are like fifth, fourteen, fifteen, sixteenth,
from offense to television ratings to ticket prices to tickets,
I mean they are the epitome.
Speaker 4: Of mid in the National Football League?
Speaker 7: Is that?
Speaker 6: Yes?
Speaker 3: Fairly? Absolutely all right? The picture of mediocrity, the Houston
Texans the picture. Yeah, Thus no AFC championship games, and
thus the fan that battle red is still battle red.
Speaker 4: And I'm just still the Texans observer. They're gonna get there.
Speaker 3: Here we go, We're gonna get there.
Speaker 4: Uh, let me give you the a's.
Speaker 3: Would you like these? Here they come? Uh food dining
area this day. Excuse me, this is where the players
where they eat.
Speaker 4: Gott an a.
Speaker 3: They're nutritious, dietitian goun ane. Their training that's good. They're
training staff gunnae. Excuse me, they're weight from gunnane. Wonder Street.
Coaches got their team ownership, got an a. Uh uh,
their defensive coordinator got an a. Their special teams coordinator
got an great.
Speaker 4: This is good. This is really good.
Speaker 3: This is stuff that you if you're the technics PR department,
you want this stuff getting. Now, let me give you
the A minuses still great. I mean, look, my life
was full of A minuses general manager a minus, head coach,
an offensive corner coordinator A minus. Yeah, that's a pretty
high grade for a first year play caller. So Nick
Kayley's doing.
Speaker 4: Okay.
Speaker 3: Well, they didn't rate the players, and they didn't rate
the quarterback in this, did.
Speaker 4: They No, they don't. They don't. They don't rate their
own teams. They didn't rate the offensive line, did they No?
Speaker 3: They didn't know.
Speaker 4: Okay, good, these.
Speaker 3: Are Texas players grading their own organization. Let me get
you to the b's B plus locker room B plus
position coaches I e. Gerrod Johnson, you're out. It's sick
because this get read the revote. Is it back up
to A? I don't know, that's a good question. The
Bees the bee minus. Treatment of families M interesting, not
enough sweets.
Speaker 9: H.
Speaker 3: Well, you know there's like there's areas where like if
you if you're married to a player and you have
young children and you want to watch your husband compete,
you have little kids, areas where they will hire babiers
to watch the kids where you can go watch the game,
and then there's areas that you can congregate with your
other families and the team.
Speaker 4: They usually feed them.
Speaker 3: There's probably play toys, there's big screen TVs there. It's
just like a little private area that's, you know, depending
on how big or small it is, accommodates a handful
of or maybe the entire team. So the Texans don't
do great on the treatment of families. And that's what
I'm presuming is just the game day, you know, like
like I don't think they're worried about how they treat
them on Oraan Wednesday, but they want to make sure
that when they go to the game on Sunday or
they get tickets or whatever. The overall treatment of families
is a B minus. Other things team travel B minus
and need a nicer coach. That's hard to really get
criticized for. I mean, they all fly on jumbo jets.
Because you're carrying two hundred people with you, you're staying
in these massive, big convention center hotels.
Speaker 4: The buses are about the same.
Speaker 3: I don't know how necessarily you could change that unless
you got even a bigger plane and you just gave
everybody their own row.
Speaker 4: I mean, I don't know what that didnt work?
Speaker 3: That would be they did not Oh, they only got
one sea and it was a C plus. The only
thing that Texans players did not like about being a
Houston Texan relatively speaking, because the greatest and the lowest
of the group is the condition of their game day
field at at Energy Stadium C plus. That makes sense
geat Well, it's just it's just tough nowadays, right.
Speaker 4: But they don't like it.
Speaker 3: And my guess is I wonder if it's because I mean,
I know there's dirt underneath it because of the rodeo
and whatnot. But what if it's if it's carpet, how
do they how do they screw that up?
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 3: Maybe they want grass, Maybe people want grass. I think
the players have been pushing for grass. Yeah, I'll say
this because I'm looking at some other teams ross. The
Indianapolis Colts gave their home game field a D.
Speaker 4: You want to know what the Steelers is this? They
have F minus.
Speaker 3: Oh. I didn't think there was such a thing as
F minus New York Jets F minus New York Giants.
Same thing F minus. Yeah, it's funny. Miami grass field
here in Florida a minus. I'm trying to think what
else is Oh my home game field in New England.
That's grass too, right they plant a grass field in Foxborough?
Speaker 4: Do they believe a minus for what's the super Dome?
Speaker 1: C HM?
Speaker 3: F minus isn't F minus essentially like a zero? That
means nobody gave them even a single positive number. It's redundant. Yeah,
but I think they must have done something to earn it.
The the absolute worst ranked team overall was the Pittsburgh Steelers.
With everything. Their treatment of families was minus seven. What
are they doing spitting and kicking their family members?
Speaker 6: Hey?
Speaker 3: Can you watch your kids while my husband plays? No,
they can sit with you. Yes, they have the kids
like in labor camps, sweeping chimneys. What's see in the
family room? Well, we've got bags of FreeDOS for you.
Knock yourself out. He stands above you.
Speaker 4: There's a big pot of gruel in there for the kids.
That's right. You get any diaper changing stations?
Speaker 3: Nope?
Speaker 4: God in front of everybody. Treatment of families f for
the Steelers.
Speaker 3: Get it together?
Speaker 4: Steelers.
Speaker 3: Wait a minute, how do you. How do you get
an F that that's almost like being like making fun
of them. Yeah, they're roasting them. You get an a F.
It's like, don't come, don't go to our games. They're
roasting the kids. That's that's not fun. Oh here's one
for you. Here's how you get an F. You you
go into the family room mirror and that the woman
says that at the door, where's your where's your kids ticket?
Anyway about kids ticket? They charge them, they charge them.
It looks like I'm trying to scroll through. I think
the Steelers is the only team that got an F
for treatment of families. O Brown's got a D minus.
All Bengals got a F minus. What are the Bengals
doing in the fans?
Speaker 4: Same teams?
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's the teams that you've always had the reputation
of not doing things right are still getting great for
How about team try?
Speaker 4: You know, can you get an F on a team travel?
Speaker 3: Well? You know, usually get on jumbo jets. We're gonna
put you on prop planes to go from the Dolphins
are gonna go from Miami to Seattle. We're gonna make
four stops along the way because we go only up
to fourteen thousand feet.
Speaker 4: Panthers got a D. You know they put them on
the right Brothers plane.
Speaker 3: Yeah, like in Major League the movie where the uh
they go from the charter plane of the prop to
the bus. I don't know if these athletes come across
to me Ross, it's just spoiled us beyond get all right, definitely,
but something's got to be wrong. The Chiefs got a
D minus travel. I want and I want further details
in an investigation. Oh, Patriots got an F team travel?
Speaker 4: They have their own plane. How do you get an F?
Speaker 3: I don't know and make them walk to the Air Force. Okay,
so let's let's think about this for a second. How
do you if you're an NFL team, how do you
give your own team an F or D minus and traveling? Okay,
the plane is tightly packed. Maybe everybody's got to be
in three three to a row. You know, no middle
seat separating, maybe no first class. They're in regional jam.
Maybe you're getting maybe you're getting peanuts and not getting
a full meal on the plane.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 3: No, Look, you're not staying at a hyatt or a
rare out or or a real ten. You're at a
stee Steelers and Eagles got another budget tail. Steelers and
Eagles got an fun team travel. How how does this happen?
Speaker 4: Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Speaker 3: F Now, as you said, this is probably some spoiled players,
but still something say, something's got to be wrong. I
mean you're not staying the extended stay places right, I
mean it's in the CBA probably. How does this?
Speaker 4: I don't know. I just think it's crazy.
Speaker 3: They I'm just telling you being around them and look
at I think the Rockets are very chill and we've
you know, the only person over the years is always
ever worried about travel, frankly was James. Everybody else is like,
just get me to the next city. I can make
my own life. You know, It's just crazy how you
could How do you complain about being on a jumbo jet?
They feed you five times of meat on the plane
five times?
Speaker 4: Do you get off?
Speaker 3: You're staying in these huge convention center hotels? What do they?
Speaker 4: I mean are they?
Speaker 3: I don't know, It's just I didn't think it's again
it's diva NFL athlete maybe, And you're gone for one day,
you leave it Saturday at noon, you come back right
out of the game out on Sunday, it's it's I
don't know, but you know what Ross. Our Texans are
seventh among the thirty two teams. Oh now there are
ore Texans when they're good at something. I found something
that finally, the Texans are not mid at team travel.
Like their coach, they like their general manager, team ownership,
They love the mcnairs. Who doesn't love the mcnaires haters,
maybe the tax bearers. You never know. In the next
year or so, you never know, just thinking about it,
anything goes Friday, he continues here on Sports Talk seven
ninetie Matt and Ross with you seven one three two
one two five seven ninety seven to one three two
one two five seven ninety the Rockets with an impressive
win over the Orlando Magic, and again the national folks say,
you know what, the Rockets need a point guard. Well,
it's not going to happen at this point. Reading a
men and a men, we trust and read we trust.
As hopeful the Rockets will be a I would say
maybe even a surprise team among NBA circles, because nobody
seems to think the Rockets have a chance. They're right
now again third in the Western Conference seven to one
three two one two five seven ninety will say I'm sorry, Well,
in about fifteen minutes here on Sports Talk seven ninety
seven one three two one two five seven nine zero
if you'd like agree, would have done? Anything goes Friday.
If I'm sorry, it's coming up in about ten minutes
to now, and I might ultimately apologize to Jonathan, But
I'm gonna need five hundred thousand people to come to
Houston in the next two to three weeks for that
to happen. Seven one three two one two five seven
ninety seven one three two one two five seven ninety
So Rockets get the nineteen point deficit into a win
last night. Is that the best win of the year
for the Rockets come back variety? Yeah, I get If
you want a factor in the comeback, it'd be a
pretty good one good team.
Speaker 4: Yes, it was.
Speaker 3: Did beat San Antonio once this year, it came back
then the homecome back against San Antonio was pretty nice.
Speaker 4: And then they well they gave him back like a
week later. You did beat Oklahoma City in Okay.
Speaker 3: See, now there was no SGA in that game and
no Jalen Williams, but you didn't have a men Thompson
in that game.
Speaker 4: So I'll go with the Spurs win at home in January.
Speaker 3: Man, I really hope and I'm just I'm actually just
speaking this to you hopefully into existence here. Ross. Uh huh,
I really hope we can get some good NBA playoff
you and I talking to the folks about it.
Speaker 4: How honest do you want me to be?
Speaker 3: Well?
Speaker 4: How about this?
Speaker 3: We won't get that until they win a playoff series,
just one series, won't We won't get full bore until
it more than that.
Speaker 4: And the problem is.
Speaker 3: Spurs of one eleven in a row, Matt, The Spurs
are looking more in the thunder class and thing. We
thought it was gonna be thundering everyone else. Now it's
looking kind of like thunder Spurs and everyone else in
the West right now. Yeah, Yeah, Denver has had their issues,
the Lakers are imploding.
Speaker 4: Who else is at Minnesota? I mean, y'all don't know this.
Speaker 3: I mean I'm not saying everybody doesn't know this, but
I would think the majority of people do not. The
best player in the NBA that no one talks about,
relatively speaking as Anthony Edwards, I think he gets talking
about uh he does.
Speaker 4: I thought you were gonna say via or something.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's true. Anthony Edwards could be the face of
the NBA if you're looking for an American player to
do it. Problem is he has such a foul mouth
that the NBA can't put him on that stone.
Speaker 4: He's awesome.
Speaker 3: Do you ever watch those Sunday conversations with Caleb Presley.
It's like an interview thing. It's he did what? It's
pretty funny. You would like those because they're kind of
dead pain and uncol I don't know you like you
like cringey stuff a little bit, right, of course, I
work with you. Hey, hey, that was good. I think
you would like it. The one Anthy Edwards is pretty funny.
I got it into a YouTube wormhole of those recently.
But Anthony Edwards is great. He's got personality. Yes, I
got absolutely right. Yeah, I was on YouTube and watch
I watched like six movies. That's what the flu with
Anthony is. He just he just can't not swear. No,
he doesn't can't have a face of an NBA team.
He will swear on national TV, he will swear on streaming,
he will swear. He made a big three pointer last night.
For his Wolves against the Clippers and he was swearing
as his coach after during the game.
Speaker 4: I mean, yeah, it's he doesn't want to do it.
Speaker 3: He doesn't want to clean his act up when it
comes to his because his talent is. I mean, I'd
rather watch Antony Edwards player than shake Gilles Alexander over
any day a week oh period. In the story, it's
more fun, more entertaining, more explosive. Yeah, he's shooting forty
percent from three this year. Like he he's he's the
complete offensive package. There is a spot on the floor
he can't shoot. But enough about them.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 3: Jalen Green has struggled the last three games. Might believe
for the Phoenix Sun.
Speaker 11: Oh.
Speaker 3: I was wondering I hadn't heard any Suns fans and
I mentioned lately. Yeah, it's it's it's been a little
quiet on those things. It's a little bit there, a
little bit interesting. And I'm just going to tell you
this for the five millionth time, and I'll probably say
it another million times before he eventually retires. I get
to see Kevin Durant now largely. I was in the
Orlando Airport to Control tower last night. I think you'd
see it close, But I'm a witness to just amazing, unbelievable,
just beat you down moments from one of the great
all time players. He just reached thirty two thousand points
for his NBA career. I'm speaking, of course, with Kevin Durant.
I think he could very well be the last of
a dying breed in that that he also it's not
only the shots that he can take and make, it's
it's like difficult pull up mid range that's getting erased
out of the game. And that's something that like young
players don't even get asked to do, and he can
do it, and he's one of the He's just one
of the old times. I will say, yeah, second gradateest
shooter ever and what he does is so unique and
is so special and so fun to watch because of
the degree the degree of difficulty of the shots he
makes with defense all over multiple guys well first and
foremost he's a jim rat. So he gets in there.
I'm guessing, Look, the rockets are off today, they're like,
go away. He's probably found a gym somewhere to shoot
up five shooting right now. Yeah today, he's probably shooting
right now. But size does matter. He's six' ten and
that helps because you may have guys with a hand
in the face and they may have freakishly good jumping,
ability but he can still say oversee you and yeah
he makes those, tough contested. Shots but when you still
have a two to three size advantage of the guarden
guy in front of, you you have to have delicate. Touch,
yeah because it's a it's at a different. Angle if
you're a six to three guy shooting at a fifteen
foot ramis compared to six, ten especially if you're shooting
it from say less than fifteen feet, away you got
to have special.
Speaker 4: Touch you gotta get it around, people and he just.
Speaker 3: DOES i mean there was he had scored what was
he scored like the last eight points of the third
quarter by. HIMSELF i mean he goes on these tangents
Like jordan. Did he did like Like lebron did in his,
prime where he would just say give me the ball
And i'll score every trip down the. Floor, yeah he's.
Speaker 4: Did it last.
Speaker 3: Night he's done so much of his. Career he's the
four time scoring. Champion he's one of the all time.
Greats as you, mentioned he's got the extremely high release they,
have you, know metrics and data on this stuff these, Days,
matt the highest release point in THE nba Is victor Winmbin.
Yama number two Is Kevin. Durant so talk about what
a five sides of difference between those two. Guys, YEAH i,
mean so he he gets up there and it's impossible
to contest his, shot and then how how lengthy he
is and how great of a shooter he. Is just
it's just the sheerhand eye coordination and the work he puts.
In like you, said it's it's. Amazing it's it's.
Speaker 4: Awesome.
Speaker 3: Man we're watching all time greatness in a rocket uniform
and he's he's charging up the rankings and he's gonna
Pass Michael jordan this. Year he'll do it this. Year
AND i brought this up while you were. Gone you,
know he wants to play for The olympic team in
twenty twenty. Eight, well guess, what you just can't retire
at the end of this year or next year and, go,
OH i need some time away and Then i'll get
back and jump on the. Court that means he's going
to want to play at a high level for the
next couple of. Years he's who are we doing that

contusion right, wrist brain make something. UP i don't want
anyone to. Know i've got to hurt. Ass that seems
like a very easy, clip, Okay and, Elsewhere japanese right
hand er tatsu Yay my throwing a ten pitch scoreless
inning for The. Astros he was struck by a comebacker
in spring training yesterday against The New York mets After
Marcus simeon hit him with a sharp hit in his
lower right. Leg ten pitches are apparently hands that after that.
Happened it's just a. Comebacker it happens in. Baseball apparently
one inning was the. Plan anyways For tatsuya you, might
but certainly something we will be, monitoring monitoring for Your Houston.
Speaker 4: Astros all, right coming, up, listen be very.
Speaker 3: Carefully atlanta is trying to become the new spring break
capital of the world After. Houston i'll explain how they're
going to try to do it. Next it is twelve
seventeen On Sports talk seven to. Eighty How atlanta is
trying to take away The houston spring break.
Speaker 4: Crowd i'll tell you about that in a.
Speaker 3: Minute right, now let's go To Adam online three on
The Matt Thomas show With Ross.
Speaker 4: Adam thank you for holding a good.
Speaker 3: Afternoon, hi how are you guys doing? Good thank you?
Speaker 4: Great oh, Yeah.
Speaker 18: SO i don't see three million people coming here because
the population in Metro houston is seven and a half,
million and that would take us above ten. Million but
the REASON i was calling is BECAUSE i really wanted
to go to The Arizona houston basketball game last, weekend
and just to get in the door was two hundred
dollars for the cheapest, ticket and the most expensive tickets
were above fourteen hundred. Dollars and like you guys debate
on what to do with The astrodome every once in a,
WHILE i was just, wondering for a winning program Like houston,
basketball why you guys settle on The Ftida center when
it only holds seven thousand people and most mediocre university
basketball programs have stadiums that are like twelve to fourteen
thousand or.
Speaker 3: More, well the reality is that for the longest, time
The university Of houston has not drawn, ten, eleven, twelve
thirteen thousand. Fans, secondly college basketball arenas the new ones
are being built are built to smaller. Capacities and, third
you got to you want to, certainly you know spark
interest and create a. Demand, well there's too much, supply
there will not be enough. Demand So i'd like it
to be that every seat is full every single, game
and it has been the last five or six, years
but you go ten fifteen years before, that they were
lucky to draw three.
Speaker 4: Thousand in the. Building so that's those are the.
Speaker 18: Reasons why what about for large matchups like you, Know
arizona Or Iowa. State would they consider putting that in
The Toyota center if The? Rockets if The rockets aren't
using it that, day.
Speaker 3: Well The rockets of the The cougars did play a
game At Tota center and they played at least one
game there every. Year it does, okay but it's not
seventeen thousand and. Full AND i think intimacy does help
when it comes to home court. Advantage look think about.
This Adam Duke university could probably fit every one of
their fans in a fifteen or sixteen thousand seed arena
At Cameron Indoor stadium And, Durham North carolina they still
play in eight thousand Seat Cameron. Indoors so it's not
if there's big, games it doesn't necessarily mean you should
go to bigger.
Speaker 4: Facilities if that was the, case you could Put Duke.
Speaker 3: North carolina in a twenty thousand seed arena and be
full every single. Time you, know you want to create
the place to, be you want to create a high price,
ticket and that's exactly what a lot of colleges, do
not just The university Of. Houston, okay all, right, thanks,
yeah thank, You, OKAY i Mean i'll deal. Realities it's you,
know you're not going to get Fourteen if The Tota
center was fifty air that the For Tita center was
fifteen thousan six hundred people When Kanasas state comes into,
play you're not going to have that people. There so
you're not gonna build an arena just to build it
so you could have three or four games a. Year you,
know even The university Of, texas even The Moody center
is not even at sixteen thousand for, basketball that's around.
Ten The New arena for, work what's that it's around. Tenya,
yeah The New Baylor arena where The Baylor bears. Play
that's not a super big. STADIUM i, mean gone to
the days of filling up seventeen eighteen thousand seed arenas
because you're only doing that a handful of times a.
Speaker 4: Year maybe you're getting a concert or two in, there
BUT i don't.
Speaker 3: Know no one has ever complained about the fact that
it's too. SMALL i like this someday to be in that,
situation but we're still not there. Yet, Someday matt. Someday,
yeah it doesn't bother me at, all you, Know, Moody,
coliseme WHERE smu plays is eight thousand. SEATS i think
the reader is pretty. Good the game he's talking about
is the exception rather than the. Rule as far as
the high demand in the high, price that's exactly. Right.
Yeah SO i, mean, look there's a lot of big
arenas around college. BASKETBALL i, mean The Memphis tigers playing
the FedEx. Form they don't draw. FLIES i mean they
draw ten eleven, THOUSAND i, think but nothing super. Big
so you know, What let's continue to Make Fortita center,
loud and you know, what if the.
Speaker 4: Secondary market happens to make a couple of, bucks so be.
Speaker 3: It it is what it. Is all.
Speaker 4: Right now.
Speaker 3: We're going to discuss AN i will say this ross
Would i'm going to characterize it as an interesting marketing
strategy by ONE nba.
Speaker 4: Team NOW i know.
Speaker 3: There's going to be some giggles because of, it BUT
i want you to put yourself in the in the
role of A ceo for ONE nba, team and THEN
i want you to think about it as from the commissioners.
Standpoint how you think about this interesting and interesting marketing
plan by AN nba team is up next twelve twenty
seven On Sports talk seven Ninety all, away all right.
Speaker 4: For those of you that do not know The Atlanta.
Speaker 3: Hawks, also to be fair to say they're about the
most mid of MID nba. TEAMS i mean just nobody
cares about them, early with the exception of what they
were like when they Had spudweb And Dominique wilkins back
in the.
Speaker 4: Eighties are you.
Speaker 3: Saying they're The Houston texans of THE? Nba you said
that Battle, red not.
Speaker 4: ME i, mean are they the most like? Irrelevant like who?
Speaker 3: CA i mean, no because like at, least for, example
like The king suck terribly and it's like a, joke
how bad they. Are nobody thinks about The. Hawks they're
just like floating in THE.
Speaker 2: Nba.
Speaker 4: Abyss nobody In atlanta thinks about The.
Speaker 3: Hawks their soccer team draws better than their basketball.
Speaker 4: Team it's not Good.
Speaker 3: ATLANTA i, mean if The Atlanta hawks won a championship
In june and it impaired the people's ability to drive
To atlanta's baseball teams to The, braves you'd have people
boycounting The hawks. Parade The Atlanta hawks are about as
irrelevant to THE nba as maybe any. Team like there
have been sucky teams like The wizards super suck and
never probably as irrelevant as A. Hawks but all The
hawks do every year is win thirty eight. Games they're
never so awful they get the number one pick or
they actually got a number one pick Was zachary Rich.
Arche they're never so sixty win Goodsha, yeah they had
that one sixty one season they lost To lebron in the. Playoffs,
yeah all. Right so Ross march, sixteenth The Atlanta hawks
have a home game in The. Arena by the, way
The State Farm arena is a really nice place to
watch a basketball. Game they're playing the team The rock
has played yesterday of The Orlando they're going to have
A Magic City night at The magic Versus hawks. Game
for those of you that do not, Know Magic city
Is atlanta's fanned strip club as part of, this they're
going to have music that you would hear at the.
Club you will have a SPECIAL dj T i is
coming in there for, that the perform at. Halftime oh thank.
God they're also going to have their Famous lemon pepper
wings available for. Sale is that the lou Will Lemon pepper?
Ones those are the Lou William William pepper. Ones, yes
along with music and exclusive merchandise that you can. Purchase
Actress Jamie, gertz who is the principal owner of The Atlanta,
hawks says the. Following this collaboration and theme night is
very meaningful to me after all the work we did
to put it. Together the night is Called Magic, city
An american. Fantasy what the Iconic Atlanta stay with me on.
This The Iconic atlanta institution has made such an incredible
impact in our city and its unique. Culture. HMM i
gotta be honest with. YOU i don't know how they're
getting away with. This it's kind of. AWESOME i, mean
some cities are known for its strip. Clubs atlanta is
one of the one we live in would be one of.
Them but even with the vibrant strip club seen In,
houston of the seven million people that live In houston
ninety nine. Percent i've never been in one and A
houston strip club in their life and probably never. Will
so we're Getting Treasure's night with The rockets. Soon that's
what was the first THING i, thought as are we
Getting colorado nine at The?
Speaker 4: Rockets AND i believe The rockets would say no to.
Speaker 3: THAT i, MEAN i guess the only THING i can
think of is people who are In. Atlanta it's a little.
Different like the people say, that they actually just go
for the food or they order to, go and the
food is, incredible.
Speaker 4: But it's also a house of ill. Repute it's a strip.
Speaker 3: CLUB i know why they did. This they're not doing
this as Celebrate Magic. Citty they're doing it because they
knew the press release would gain them a lot of,
interest and it has talking about it on this. Show
we're talking about it on this. Show march, Sixteenth orlando Plays.
Atlanta no one In, america certainly In, atlanta would care
That orlando Played. Atlanta but if you're serving The Lebon
Pepper wings that ultimately Got Lou williams suspended by THE
nba for breaking protocol and during THE covid, years good
times there must be some damn good. WINGS i know
we have to. GO i think it's my civic responsibility
as Mister texas to go see what other people are.
Speaker 4: Serving is this just one?
Speaker 3: Location by the, WAY i, mean how are these fry
cooks working twenty four to? Seven this seems. Impossible is
this place like as big as a super?
Speaker 2: Walmart?
Speaker 4: Like how does this?
Speaker 3: WORK i would assume that the recipe would be given
to the people that cook in the arena to begin,
With i'm just saying in, general is if you're, serving
if you're Serving Magic City, wings you're gonna want to
do it at more than one. Section. Right, oh my
work laptop just blocked me from going To magiccity dot.
Com it gives the reason as adult adult. Themes but,
okay so let's take one or two steps back. Here
this is. ODD i mean NIGHTCLUBS i kind of get
MAYBE i don't, know maybe a theater district night WHERE
i don't you're gonna honor a strip club during a basketball. Game,
now it does beg the question who's taking the? Tickets
when you know the arena AND i guess, ross what
are they? Wearing oh that'd be really nice and get
some of the dancers over to be ushers On Magic City?
Night what's the halftime? Entertainment it's that guy T, I,
oh that's. Right is he gonna have stripper strippers on?
Poles what do you Think Adam sober is thinking about?
That are you gonna get lamp? Dances In road? NINETEEN
i like?
Speaker 4: This, actually.
Speaker 3: Now The rockets ever did? This the question would be
WHAT i want to have a stripper next to? Me
is my color? Analyst?
Speaker 4: Hey your your thoughts on that high horn? Set?
Speaker 3: Fantasia, Hey, DESTINY i see that The bulls have gone
to a two three?
Speaker 4: Zone what do you think about? That you should know
a lot about drop?
Speaker 3: Coverage all, right, folks how many more puns Will ross
have here in the next four minutes of this? Show,
NO i.
Speaker 4: Don't think you're.
Speaker 3: Done.
Speaker 4: Never i'm demanding at.
Speaker 3: Least you know how to run it into the. GROUND
i saw, this and BECAUSE i think of things from
a business perspective AND i think things as a sports fan,
PERSPECTIVE i, mean, honestly what's that going to be? Like and,
again all kidding, aside how do you explain to your
kids that have tickets for that?
Speaker 4: Game? Hey mom And? Dad what'd you think of that
contact in the restricted?
Speaker 3: Area why are the girl who took our tickets wearing paces?
Only or?
Speaker 4: Dad, focus get Your why aren't you looking at?
Speaker 15: Me?
Speaker 3: Dad why are you looking at? THEM i can think
of this as one. Thing the wings must be just
Incredibly we have to try lou will lemon pepper. Wings
we got to try. Them we're gonna have To matt
And Rosserm atlanta next, Year Show. Live let's go because
because we're not going To West, palm BECAUSE i can
tell there's no baseball next. Year, oh it makes me
sad even thinking about. IT i forgot about. That we'll
go there for spring training In. Atlanta, yeah we get
some cheap. Flights, oh it's a cheap to Fight atlanta for.
Sure so JUST i just wanted to throw that out
there to say THAT i understand you're trying to market
yourself and gain.
Speaker 4: Attention BUT i think THAT i got a.
Speaker 3: Feeling this is going to backfire a little bit unless
it's tastefully. Done but how do you say tastefully in
strip club in the same sentence, Sports. Harv you just don't,
no it can be. Tasteful how explain keep a? Classy
how many, people AND i. Don't, Again i'm gonna presume
that most of you that listen to our show do
not frequent strip Club some of you, might But i'm
not gonna say. Majority IF i, said, Hey, matt, Heyes Hey,
ross let's go to a tasteful strip, Club you're, like,

hey you excellent. MAN i got a little. COMMENT i
have a little, comment and, see, UH i want to
hear what you. SAY i always check in a few
times this time of the year if you regarding you pay,
basketball but so so check it. Out so me and
my friends were all talking a week and a half
ago that The big twelve was gonna be a blood.
Bath last, WEEK i, mean, everybody everybody schedule was just
and across the college, basketball But big twelve was just
it looked. NASTY i, MEAN i, thought if you body
just come out with one of those, wins it'd probably
be a good a good. Week but we dropped all
three and, uh. Yeah And i'm not just saying this
thing a feel, better but we've played great Against Oalla.
State we went on a, thing a six minute scoring
drought in that late second, half and dropped that. One
that was easily a winnable. Game we competed hard Uh,
arizona WHICH i still think then In michigan are two
of the top teams in the in the in the.
COUNTRY i thought the compete really good Against. Arizona the
second half came, back uh you, know got up a
little bit and then we uh you, know we fell
off the in had ANOTHER i, think IF i, mistaken
we had the longest drought we've had all, season scoring
drought seven and seven minutes and twenty seconds in the second,
half which didn't. Help and And samson said, it AND
i felt the same way even before we said. IT
i think we're just out of gas Come monday. Night
and you don't win In kansas On monday night very.
OFTEN i mean it's FORTY i think it's forty one
or zer for self over. There SO i. WASN'T i
was hoping we would win, that BUT i, wasn't you,
KNOW i. DIDN'T i wasn't a count on that to
be honest with. You but all in, all my point
IS i used to really feel strong about the, seeds you,
know one, seed two seed for pretty. Good but this
Year i'm a little. Different we've played the. Best we
compete it hard against. Them if we get a two
or three, seed you know known N c DOUBLE, A
i could see him put a put us out of four.
Seeds you never, know BUT i felt good about our,
team especially with a two to three guard pretty strong this.
YEAR i don't think the defense is playing as. GOOD
i Think sampson said a couple of years, ago a
offense that is really syncd up. Good the defense being
syncd up good as is just as. Important AND i
don't think our defense. IS i, mean there's so many
balls PASSES i see on defense that, two, three four
years ago we'd snack up and take it down for a.
TURNOVER i don't see a lot of those this. Year
BUT i think we're still getting better as ear goes.
ON i guess saying all, that how do you feel
about where we're? Going are we getting? Better how do
you like our? Seating is that is that is important to?
Speaker 11: You as it?
Speaker 19: Is uh this year not so much to me because we've.
PLAYED i think we've played the. BEST i think That
michigan And arizona and of Course duke are the, top
BUT i think we can peep with, anybody especially in
the tournament when you go to those two to three
guards strong. Teams that's ALL i, Had Matt, ross thank,
y'all and mad like, here how do you feel about?
Speaker 4: It Thanks dabie very. Much it was a really good phone.
Speaker 3: CALL i.
Speaker 4: This is whatever team's going through right.
Speaker 3: Now, Ross it's not Just, houston It's, arizona it's, uh It's,
michigan It's, duke It's. Kansas you're playing in these blood
blat bath conferences and you, think, well, oh we've been
exposed about. SOMETHING i brought this up and maybe even
if you were, sick tell me what team in the
country could have three top fifteen opponents in seven days
and go three and? OH i mean that those are
just special teams that do. That And i'm not devastated
over the fact they went on in three WHAT i
have liked them to get a, victory, Absolutely but come tournament,
time this, team even though they've got two freshmen leading the,
way it's well. Tested Milos uzann has been there, before you've,
got you, know a lineup that's got seven or eight players,
Deep you've Got flemings is one of the most dynamic
freshmen in the. Country sneck has been playing better as of.
LATE i think they have just as much chance as
any anybody. Else but the one thing that has hurt
them like it's hurt them in the last couple of
years in regular season, play even though they ran for
The Big twelve pretty easily last, year is that they
are prone to scoring droughts like any college basketball team.
Is and you, know If flemings gets into foul trouble
and all of a sudden they've double, team who's gonna
come through and help. Out Jojo tugler when he's on
the floor is outstanding as a, rebounder as a rim,
protector and as a shot blocker because of his wing.
Span but part of the greatest him staying on the
floor and saying in a foul, TROUBLE i, Mean i'm
as bullish AS i was before the three game. Streak
if they had won all three, games, ROSSING i don't
Think i'd have been clamoring for them to be a
chalk pick to win The national. Championship it would have been.
Nice but at the end of the, DAY i mean
it's not like they got completely blown out in any
of these.
Speaker 4: GAMES i mean The kansas game was the.
Speaker 3: Biggest uh was the biggest deficit in all of, them
but that was a close game at. HALFTIME i would
have been nice to, win especially one of the first
two where you had more of a.
Speaker 4: Shot.
Speaker 3: Yeah i'll just say, This The Big Twelve tournament's gonna
get them ready. Again coach will have them Any their
defense still remains.
Speaker 4: Strong they're just going through some scoring issues right.
Speaker 3: Now and as far As i'm, CONCERNED i just think
this year is gonna be more. Competitive i'll be honest with.
YOU i Watch, duke AND i Watch, arizona AND i Watch.
Michigan i'm much college. Basketball you're catching, Ross but there's
like six or seven teams that could comfortably win this whole,
thing and.
Speaker 4: That's usually what the cases year in a year.
Speaker 3: OUT i just mostly Watched texas and get. Disappointed they
were close With florida for a while and they. LOST i,
Mean i'm sorry about. That, Yeah florida went on like
a fifteen oh. Run And, florida by the, way is
playing really good right now. Too, YEAH i, KNOW i you,
KNOW i do NEED i need a manual sharp to shoot.
Better CAN i get?
Speaker 18: That at?
Speaker 4: LEAST i don't.
Speaker 3: KNOW i. Hope SO i need sharp to shoot. BETTER
i need tuglers to a sharper.
Speaker 4: Shooting. HUH i see, YOU i see you're.
Speaker 3: Working and the fact Is Kingston flemings is playing and
above his. Age but this will be his first turn
and for all what might most likely be his only
tournament runs. Here so, YEAH i Thought i've been the
caller brought up in a lot of. Sense there's nothing
that makes me, go oh my. Gosh they don't typically
turn the ball over a. Lot they're. Smart they do
get into foul, trouble but like most college, teams and
ultimately it's speaking of foul, TROUBLE i wish The cougar
shot better free. Throws BUT i could say that about EVERY,
nba every college basketball.
Speaker 4: Team they're not the.
Speaker 3: Favorite but if you if you go to anybody that
has any sort of betting interest in, it The cougars
are always and then have been this, year even though
they've lost three straight. GAMES a team that is six
or seventh favorite to win the whole, thing And i'll
take my chances with. That we have Non florida excuse,
me we Have florida stories coming up in a half
an hour from. Now we Have Helly air not at
twelve fifty today or one fifty? Today what's? Topic what's
talk seven? Nineties if you want to get, in what's?

Pointers rockets at one point in the game were under
ten percent from, Three AND i want to Say, ross
they hit one three point in the first.
Speaker 4: HALF i think that's what it.
Speaker 3: WAS i think they started one for. Fourteen it was
a Uh Dona Finney smith like top of the. Key
he was leaning in then somehow snuck. In and other
than that they WERE i think one for fourteen to. Start,
yeah they finished ten of their last fifteen something like.
Speaker 6: That.
Speaker 3: Three you've still finished at thirty eight percent from, three
which is at their season. Average but, yeah it was
a tail of two. Halves rockets will be taken on

two different media, markets would it like to play for The?

you AND i don't get into, it but there are
millions and millions and millions of people that love combine
interviews and guys running the forties and in THEIR t
shirts and, underwear flexing and doing that kind of shit

Speaker 3: Fifteen we've Got florida stories coming up in fifteen minutes
here On Sports, talks.
Speaker 4: And then goes.
Speaker 3: Farty continues Including Getting ready of The start And CATCHER
dfam okay seven one three two one two five seven
ninety seven one three two one two five seven Ninety
jason And conrad at one twenty.
Speaker 4: One, Hello.
Speaker 11: Jason, Look i'm not gonna stit there and say that
was a dumb. TAKE i mean it kind of, was
but you, know kind of makes sense because, honestly some
of us just don't Like yanni Or. Taz we just
don't like what he does at the. Plate he has
these lucky streaks and then sometimes he goes.
Speaker 7: Cold And i'm just gonna be, HONEST.
Speaker 8: I LIKE i Like.
Speaker 11: MOKRIANNI i believe there's a reason why they drafted him
in the first.
Speaker 7: Round you don't draft the catcher that. High AND i, believe.
Speaker 11: And i'm not wishing injury on, anybody But i'm just
saying It diaz gets hurt and that kid comes up and,
shines he might lose the. SPOT i think he's better Than.
Speaker 7: DAS i don't think that's. It don't take it.
Speaker 4: Off how often have you seen him?
Speaker 11: Play i've been watching and playing the. MINERS i keep
up with. THAT i keep up with the miners BECAUSE
i like to be familiar with the players that they eventually.
Speaker 7: Will call up or. WELL i keep up with all.
Speaker 3: That, okay, uh AND i respect. That that means you're
a good baseball. Fan it makes me. Happy last Time
ross AND i looked at The walter, numbers they weren't
good at spring.
Speaker 4: TRAINING i, mean, uh in in the minor. League excuse, me,
no but that.
Speaker 9: Was his first.
Speaker 11: Season you got to get the guy some. Credit what
kind Of i'm not. Saying i'm not saying right now
he's better Than. Das i'm just, saying eventually he has
the potential to be better Than daz BECAUSE i think
once that kid gets high and there's no doubt they like.
Him when you call somebody the spring, training with spring
training to spring, training you want to see what they can.
DO i, mean he's not too horribly. Bad but my
thing is What diaz Is He like you, said he
has these hot streaks and he goes.
Speaker 7: COLD i don't.
Speaker 11: Think he's very patient to play. IT i don't like
the fact that he swings and. Everything and when he
does swing and actually gets a hit or makes the home,
run people get happy about. It AND i mean it's
something you want to. See you want to see a
player be. CONSISTENT i just don't Think diaz he's.
Speaker 14: Consistent.
Speaker 11: Now defensively a, catcher he's, great but like when.
Speaker 8: It comes to, offense what he's Just i'm not high on.
Speaker 3: HIM i think you're confusing the.
Speaker 4: People is twenty three and hasn't been above a.
Speaker 11: BALL i have a dumb. Take SO i don't, know
you're the.
Speaker 7: JUDGE i don't.
Speaker 3: KNOW i, mean it could be not their smartest. ONE
i don't. Know it could be a great take or.
NO i, Mean i'm gonna tell you right. Now walter
career minor league btting. Numbers he's a career two forty
four batting hemverrhage with ops is seven to.
Speaker 4: Eleven not.
Speaker 11: GREAT i do want to ask you a question, though
about a basketball. Question, OH i might BE i might
be a little bit out of the realm, here BUT
i got the. Artist everybody in my household is A rockets.
STAND i grew up In. Louisiana we Were spurs. Stands
if it came down to a seven game series between,
them The rockets and The, spurs who.
Speaker 7: Would you Take.
Speaker 4: Rockets in? Four thank you for the phone. Call appreciate.
It janni had a Good Arizona fall. League that's that's.
Speaker 3: Encouraging fifty nine plate, appearances uh, seven seventy oh. Ps
but he's he's twenty three and he hasn't hit DOUBLE a.
Yet SO i, mean let's pump the brakes and he
he's the air. Apparent it'd be nice if you mean,
developed he should be the air. Parent you should you
drap him the first?
Speaker 4: Round?
Speaker 3: Right but, yeah there's there's no foundation at this point
that says he's going to necessarily take over for. Him
he hit twelve home runs in four hundred plate appearances
in high ball twenty two years. Old in hya last.
Year he's twenty. Three he turned twenty three In. September we'll.
See maybe he's a late. BLOOMER a lot of late
bloomers on this. Squad, yeah and, look we're not trying
to be the president and the vice president of THE.
Uh he. Struggled he was bad last, year and he's
not a great defensive. Catcher, no he's. Not no, AGAIN
i think he's looking at something else THAT i don't.
Know twenty Nineteen Martin maldonado. Tape maybe, hey, now all, right,
well now that the show has come to a screeching
halt with Yarn Air diaz hate.
Speaker 4: Love kind, OF i guess, well he said he was
up and. Down that's what Most Major League baseball.
Speaker 3: Players he's got to have a better year though he
was bad last. Year, no he needs have a better.
Year there's really no fans or boughts about, it especially
because arbitration years are kicking in now and you're gonna
be thinking about freegencyeing a couple of years down the. Road,
yeah he's got to be. Better if, Not waltrejoni's gotta
Get BUT i Hope i'm pronouncing it. RIGHT i think
it Is jonick If i'm not going to. That, yeah
it's A Sophot High school teacher nam Missus johnnick, related
he's from The houston. Area. Teacher she was my algebra
teacher for two years WHEN i was in junior high
in eighth.
Speaker 4: Grade my took out for two with.
Speaker 3: Her WHEN i was a sophomore high school and WHEN
i got honored by The Maycreet High school in Their
hall Of, HONOR i went down to say hello to
some people and she happened to be at the school
the same day because she was doing this some substitute.
Work she's since. RETIRED i, said Mister, john this Is Matt.
Thomas they're putting me in the hall of. Honor and she,
goes were you one of my? Students And i'm, like,
okay she can't remember, Everybody, matt she's been if you
were there decades. Ago but but don't you remember the
Great texans and people that built the school for what
it is. Today you, know it's hard to remember you
because you had the mascot hell hat. On that feels
fair by the, WAY i, Said i'm In, Portland texas
and he's From, portland not The houston.
Speaker 4: Area Portland, texas which is like further.
Speaker 3: Southwest all, right people are sending me, texts are you
gonna be at the cook off?
Speaker 4: Tonight are?
Speaker 9: You?
Speaker 3: Now they're asking me if you're going to be. There
they're asking you If i'm going to be. There, YES
i don't plan, it And i'm not feeling, well you,
KNOW i, mean you're kind of a celebrity in these. Streets,
yeah let's get a calling before we get to down
to four the. Stories vince is where its on? Seven, Hello, Vince, Hey.
Speaker 9: I'm getting into the show late this. Afternoon SO i
had thought About rockets. Game, yeah so, Yeah i've kind
of caught that the last five ten. Minutes but concerning
The rockets game last, night With reed actually even being
in there on defensive, purposes not, purposes but basically he was.
Speaker 8: In there on defense when you know normally.
Speaker 9: He wouldn't be at late in the, game where do
you think that's going with him and With shepherd and And?
AMEN i Love, AMEN i love them both, actually but
just kind of what's that dynamic you think it's gonna
how that's gonna play.
Speaker 3: OUT i really don't think anything's gonna. CHANGE i think
you're gonna still see him in the starting. Lineup, now
If jabari can't go, tomorrow do you put him in
And read on the floor at the same, Time that
certainly could be something into. Play If Tara easton's, leg you,
know he stumbled a little bit towards the, end but
he did finish the game. YESTERDAY i would not read
much into what happens, tomorrow especially If jabari en Or
tari or less than one hundred. Percent but this was
asked an answered a week. Ago, now Certainly Ema dot
can change his Mind ross on. This but the question
was do you Anticipate Reed shepherd being a part of
the starting? Lineup and he said not now if, ever
and it's not because he hates. READ i mean reied'sman
had two dynamics in a. Row i've just said this,
before AND i don't know if If emao would back
me up on, this BUT i love bench scoring, punch
and if you take a read out of the starting
lineup or put him in the, lineup you're losing a
guy that gives you typically most, nights fourteen fifteen points
a game off the.
Speaker 9: Bench my angals more about late in the game, situations
BECAUSE i think there was a lot of criticism of
a couple.
Speaker 3: Of games with they kind of blew Where reid wasn't in.
Speaker 7: There SO i don't. KNOW i think it's.
Speaker 9: Interesting this is a good problem to have to, have
to have two decent ball players and they, can you,
know give you different aspects of the.
Speaker 4: Game so, Anyways i'll hang. Up thanks for the vine,
Man thank.
Speaker 3: You it's our pleasure to have you on the. SHOW
i mean you asked him point, blank what did it
have to? Do and it came across to ME Rossi
he said it was about. Defense it was ABOUT. I
of COURSE i need shooting on the, floor BUT i
need somebody to stop somebody in the fourth quarter as. Well,
yes and AND i mean last night he felt with
the matchup that that's that's the way he was hot
and a lot of, TIMES i, Mean Josha koge played
a ton in the second half as. Well and that's
Something emodoka has done when, team when the teams have
been down big and then they make a big, comeback
And rechepper was part of. IT i Think okobe was
on the floor for a lot of. That he's sicks
with those guys and he did it last. Night he
