<v Speaker 1>jr R.

4
00:00:08.519 --> 00:00:12.240
<v Speaker 2>Taco Bob. I'm sensing perhaps maybe how that taste might

5
00:00:12.279 --> 00:00:15.160
<v Speaker 2>be forthcoming from Mike the Bulldog BYONKI this.

6
00:00:15.039 --> 00:00:22.239
<v Speaker 3>Morning, How did that taste? Atlanta Hawks? Wow?

7
00:00:22.640 --> 00:00:26.559
<v Speaker 4>The Magic clinched a playoff spot last night with a

8
00:00:26.800 --> 00:00:33.240
<v Speaker 4>resounding one, twenty to ninety five victory over the Hawks

9
00:00:33.320 --> 00:00:36.920
<v Speaker 4>inside a sold out Kia Center. The Bulldog was there

10
00:00:36.920 --> 00:00:40.079
<v Speaker 4>and it felt like the playoffs have already begun. Give

11
00:00:40.119 --> 00:00:44.399
<v Speaker 4>the NBA credit the the play in tournament man. The

12
00:00:44.520 --> 00:00:48.560
<v Speaker 4>excitement in that building last night was off the charts.

13
00:00:48.600 --> 00:00:51.960
<v Speaker 4>It was electric. The Magic are now going to play

14
00:00:52.000 --> 00:00:55.479
<v Speaker 4>the defending champion Boston Celtics in the first round of

15
00:00:55.520 --> 00:00:59.359
<v Speaker 4>the playoffs, starting Sunday in Being Town, tip off.

16
00:00:59.159 --> 00:01:00.079
<v Speaker 3>Three point thirty.

17
00:01:00.200 --> 00:01:03.759
<v Speaker 4>What made this victory so special last night was it

18
00:01:03.880 --> 00:01:08.959
<v Speaker 4>wasn't Palo Bancaro and the Franz Hey Franz Wagner who

19
00:01:09.040 --> 00:01:12.480
<v Speaker 4>led the way. The Hawks were keying on. Those two

20
00:01:12.560 --> 00:01:16.799
<v Speaker 4>stars in Orlando's supporting cast stepped up big time. Cole

21
00:01:16.879 --> 00:01:22.480
<v Speaker 4>Anthony my God exploded for twenty six points. Ten of seventeen,

22
00:01:22.560 --> 00:01:27.719
<v Speaker 4>shooting four of nine from three. Windell Carter Junior nineteen points.

23
00:01:27.959 --> 00:01:31.760
<v Speaker 4>He was a beast on the offensive boards. Anthony Black,

24
00:01:31.879 --> 00:01:35.439
<v Speaker 4>the second year guard, finished with sixteen points. Made all

25
00:01:35.480 --> 00:01:38.239
<v Speaker 4>three of his three point shots.

26
00:01:37.719 --> 00:01:39.359
<v Speaker 3>That was impressive.

27
00:01:39.439 --> 00:01:43.280
<v Speaker 4>Last night, it looked for it looked for a minute

28
00:01:43.359 --> 00:01:45.879
<v Speaker 4>the Magic built a twenty two point lead in the

29
00:01:45.920 --> 00:01:46.400
<v Speaker 4>first half.

30
00:01:46.480 --> 00:01:48.400
<v Speaker 3>It looked for a minute like they were gonna blow it.

31
00:01:48.840 --> 00:01:52.159
<v Speaker 4>The Hawks pulled it within three midway through the through

32
00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:53.439
<v Speaker 4>the third quarter.

33
00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:54.879
<v Speaker 1>And then the Magic ran him out of the jump

34
00:01:55.200 --> 00:01:57.719
<v Speaker 1>and that's when Taco went to bed. He told me, Yeah,

35
00:01:57.799 --> 00:02:00.000
<v Speaker 1>I stayed up till the end of the third corner

36
00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:02.840
<v Speaker 1>and said, you know what they or whatever it was,

37
00:02:03.079 --> 00:02:05.840
<v Speaker 1>They're down, They're down three. I go, I'm out. I'm

38
00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:08.080
<v Speaker 1>not even gonna watch anymore. And question for you, don't

39
00:02:08.120 --> 00:02:10.639
<v Speaker 1>you being the number one Magic fan though, see have

40
00:02:10.800 --> 00:02:14.800
<v Speaker 1>little faith Tacobama, No, but I had faith. I was

41
00:02:14.879 --> 00:02:16.479
<v Speaker 1>just kind of like, I'm not going to hex this.

42
00:02:16.599 --> 00:02:22.960
<v Speaker 1>So it's finally, excuse me, little goober, there finally on TV.

43
00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:25.199
<v Speaker 1>So I gotta watch it, dog because I don't have cable.

44
00:02:25.319 --> 00:02:29.240
<v Speaker 1>And you guys are talking about Polo. You got to

45
00:02:29.280 --> 00:02:33.479
<v Speaker 1>give him credit, dude. Heuh he had so many assists

46
00:02:33.599 --> 00:02:34.879
<v Speaker 1>at the beginning of that game.

47
00:02:35.360 --> 00:02:35.840
<v Speaker 2>Insane.

48
00:02:36.759 --> 00:02:39.759
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, he filled up the statue. He had seventeen points.

49
00:02:39.759 --> 00:02:42.000
<v Speaker 4>He went to the free throw line a lot, nine

50
00:02:42.560 --> 00:02:45.960
<v Speaker 4>of his ten free throws. He made nine rebounds, seven assists.

51
00:02:45.960 --> 00:02:49.280
<v Speaker 4>The Franz even though he didn't shoot well either, he

52
00:02:49.360 --> 00:02:50.560
<v Speaker 4>had a double double.

53
00:02:50.319 --> 00:02:56.400
<v Speaker 3>With thirteen points thirteen rebounds. But I'm not in any.

54
00:02:56.240 --> 00:02:59.719
<v Speaker 4>Way saying the Magic are going to beat the Celtics

55
00:02:59.719 --> 00:03:04.000
<v Speaker 4>in the playoff series. But I will say this, the

56
00:03:04.120 --> 00:03:08.120
<v Speaker 4>season has a whole new feel to it. Making the

57
00:03:08.159 --> 00:03:11.960
<v Speaker 4>playoffs I think sort of resets what we think of

58
00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:14.840
<v Speaker 4>this Magic team. I mean, let's face it, a month,

59
00:03:14.919 --> 00:03:17.240
<v Speaker 4>month and a half ago, we thought this team was

60
00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:20.319
<v Speaker 4>going nowhere. They looked more like a lottery team than

61
00:03:20.319 --> 00:03:23.719
<v Speaker 4>a playoff team. And now they're in the playoffs. They're

62
00:03:23.719 --> 00:03:27.639
<v Speaker 4>playing the defending champions. They're peaking at just the right time.

63
00:03:27.759 --> 00:03:32.599
<v Speaker 4>They won eight of ten to clinch the playing home

64
00:03:32.680 --> 00:03:36.919
<v Speaker 4>court advantage, and they're shooting. They're not shooting great, but

65
00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:42.000
<v Speaker 4>they're shooting better. Their defense has remained dominant. Brandon Kravitz,

66
00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:45.639
<v Speaker 4>who does the afternoon show on our station, he thinks

67
00:03:45.680 --> 00:03:49.719
<v Speaker 4>the Magic are built to not beat the Celtics, but

68
00:03:49.759 --> 00:03:51.719
<v Speaker 4>at least make the Celtics sweat a little bit.

69
00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:55.000
<v Speaker 2>Let's rewind a little bit further back into the season.

70
00:03:55.360 --> 00:04:00.280
<v Speaker 2>There was a stretch Bulldog where many NBA observers would

71
00:04:00.280 --> 00:04:03.280
<v Speaker 2>make the common comments that hate this Magic team is

72
00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:05.039
<v Speaker 2>a team that you might not want to run into

73
00:04:05.039 --> 00:04:09.400
<v Speaker 2>in the playoffs. Right so, right, hey, stranger things have happened.

74
00:04:09.439 --> 00:04:11.680
<v Speaker 1>Second best defense in the NBA, they say.

75
00:04:11.879 --> 00:04:14.120
<v Speaker 2>Meanwhile, over in the West, you got the Warriors one

76
00:04:14.199 --> 00:04:16.800
<v Speaker 2>twentie over the grizz Is Dogs.

77
00:04:16.879 --> 00:04:20.600
<v Speaker 4>Listen to Taco parroting stand Van Gundy stats from last.

78
00:04:20.600 --> 00:04:21.480
<v Speaker 3>You better believe it.

79
00:04:21.560 --> 00:04:24.639
<v Speaker 1>Baby, I finally got my voice back. Sorry, that was

80
00:04:24.680 --> 00:04:27.519
<v Speaker 1>from staying up until almost ten or whatever time watching

81
00:04:27.519 --> 00:04:28.000
<v Speaker 1>that crap.

82
00:04:28.319 --> 00:04:28.480
<v Speaker 3>Good.

83
00:04:28.600 --> 00:04:32.879
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, the Warriors playoff Jimmy turned into play in Jimmy

84
00:04:33.000 --> 00:04:36.040
<v Speaker 4>last night. Jimmy Butler, who forced his way out of

85
00:04:36.120 --> 00:04:39.839
<v Speaker 4>Miami at the trade deadline, landed with Golden State. He

86
00:04:39.959 --> 00:04:42.720
<v Speaker 4>looked great last night, led the Warriors with thirty eight

87
00:04:42.759 --> 00:04:47.920
<v Speaker 4>point seven rebound, six assists. The Warriors advance as the

88
00:04:47.959 --> 00:04:51.040
<v Speaker 4>seventh seed in the Western Conference, much like the at

89
00:04:51.120 --> 00:04:54.800
<v Speaker 4>Magic did in the Eastern Conference. Jimmy Butler. Say what

90
00:04:54.920 --> 00:04:58.279
<v Speaker 4>you will about his exit from Miami, but he has

91
00:04:58.399 --> 00:05:02.240
<v Speaker 4>been a star in Golden State. He takes the pressure

92
00:05:02.279 --> 00:05:04.439
<v Speaker 4>off of Steph Curry, who, by the way, scored thirty

93
00:05:04.519 --> 00:05:08.439
<v Speaker 4>seven last night. Golden State now headed for a first

94
00:05:08.560 --> 00:05:11.240
<v Speaker 4>round series, was second set a Houston.

95
00:05:12.480 --> 00:05:14.959
<v Speaker 3>Houston sort of an up and coming young team.

96
00:05:15.079 --> 00:05:18.279
<v Speaker 4>I would not be at all surprised if the Warriors

97
00:05:18.319 --> 00:05:20.839
<v Speaker 4>beat the Rockets in that first round series.

98
00:05:20.879 --> 00:05:21.319
<v Speaker 3>In fact, with.

99
00:05:21.399 --> 00:05:24.759
<v Speaker 4>Playoff Jimmy in the fold, now the Warriors could win.

100
00:05:25.120 --> 00:05:28.720
<v Speaker 4>They could win a title this year quite frankly, coming

101
00:05:28.800 --> 00:05:29.680
<v Speaker 4>out of the play in.

102
00:05:30.160 --> 00:05:31.879
<v Speaker 3>So we'll see what happens.

103
00:05:32.480 --> 00:05:35.319
<v Speaker 4>Big news in the NFL the Miami Dolphins in near

104
00:05:35.439 --> 00:05:40.000
<v Speaker 4>GM Chris Geer announced yesterday that they want to trade

105
00:05:40.959 --> 00:05:45.279
<v Speaker 4>star cornerback Jalen Ramsey, so he's on the trade block.

106
00:05:45.759 --> 00:05:48.759
<v Speaker 4>The Dolphins are a mess. The Dolphins said this has

107
00:05:48.800 --> 00:05:54.120
<v Speaker 4>nothing to do with Ramsey wonning out Bull Bull. The

108
00:05:54.199 --> 00:05:57.319
<v Speaker 4>Dolphins are covering for Jalen Ramsey to keep his trade

109
00:05:57.399 --> 00:06:02.079
<v Speaker 4>value up. Jalen Ramsey once out, Tyreek Hill wants out,

110
00:06:02.480 --> 00:06:04.879
<v Speaker 4>the Dolphins are gonna have to rebuild here.

111
00:06:05.000 --> 00:06:10.160
<v Speaker 2>Lynch, well, right when you got back on board. Very

112
00:06:10.199 --> 00:06:13.040
<v Speaker 2>familiar with that movie. So I mean it's like, you know,

113
00:06:13.240 --> 00:06:15.600
<v Speaker 2>I'll know, I know how the the what the plot

114
00:06:15.680 --> 00:06:17.639
<v Speaker 2>is and how it ends.

115
00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:20.439
<v Speaker 4>The Dolphins are just a post. They're the poster boards

116
00:06:20.439 --> 00:06:23.600
<v Speaker 4>on how not to build a roster. They essentially took

117
00:06:23.680 --> 00:06:27.079
<v Speaker 4>Tyreek Hill, a diva wide receiver, built their offense around him.

118
00:06:27.439 --> 00:06:30.800
<v Speaker 4>They got They took Jalen Ramsey, a diva cornerback, built

119
00:06:30.839 --> 00:06:35.360
<v Speaker 4>their defensive roster around him. Jalen Ramsey, He's the guy

120
00:06:35.399 --> 00:06:38.240
<v Speaker 4>who wrecked the Jaguars a few years ago because he

121
00:06:38.319 --> 00:06:40.920
<v Speaker 4>was such a diva. He's also the guy, by the way,

122
00:06:41.040 --> 00:06:46.720
<v Speaker 4>Jalen Ramsey who uh forced Vic Fangio out as the

123
00:06:46.720 --> 00:06:49.680
<v Speaker 4>Dolphins defensive coordinator because he didn't like to play in

124
00:06:49.720 --> 00:06:50.720
<v Speaker 4>Fangio's scheme.

125
00:06:51.000 --> 00:06:53.680
<v Speaker 3>Yes, the same scheme that won the Super Bowl for

126
00:06:53.759 --> 00:06:55.000
<v Speaker 3>the Eagles last year.

127
00:06:56.480 --> 00:07:01.000
<v Speaker 2>Lightning got together with the cross state rivals Panthers last night,

128
00:07:01.040 --> 00:07:03.720
<v Speaker 2>five to one the final from Tampa. Although this kind

129
00:07:03.720 --> 00:07:06.000
<v Speaker 2>of just to skate around getting ready for their first

130
00:07:06.079 --> 00:07:09.199
<v Speaker 2>round playoff matchup that ought to be a little spicy

131
00:07:09.240 --> 00:07:10.120
<v Speaker 2>starting this weekend.

132
00:07:10.160 --> 00:07:14.000

<v Speaker 2>in the first round.

135
00:07:17.759 --> 00:07:21.600
<v Speaker 3>Oh, of course it is my Panthers. I'm Solar Bears myself.

136
00:07:23.319 --> 00:07:23.720
<v Speaker 3>I'm brave.
