0:53

of the hour, and

0:56

then it's you your time to shine

0:58

on this trash talking Tuesday. You

1:00

get thirty to forty seconds to trash

1:02

anyone or anything in

1:05

the.

1:06

Entire world of sports.

1:07

So get your takes ready and call

1:10

in about thirty five minutes from

1:12

now, Rob, who you trashing

1:15

the Lakers?

1:16

Come on, Chris, you gotta win that game.

1:17

You can't get all those kind of performances

1:20

from Ad

1:22

and Lebron and d Low and walk

1:25

away with nothing at twenty point lead.

1:28

You know, I get it. Things happen. The NBA

1:30

is different with threes. You gotta seal

1:32

that game away. And

1:34

especially because Jamal Murray was so bad you

1:36

talked about it shooting and you didn't

1:39

get one win in Denver. You could

1:41

have won both of those games. I mean, you could

1:43

have and you didn't get one. I

1:45

mean that's a huge turnaround. Excuse

1:49

me, and I'm trashing the Lakers.

1:52

No, Rob, And we talk a

1:54

lot about in today's NBA

1:57

a twenty point lead, is it what it

1:59

used to? Here's the thing though,

2:03

last night the score was

2:05

one oh one ninety nine.

2:07

Rob.

2:09

Denver only made

2:12

was it? They made eight

2:17

three pointers all night.

2:20

It wasn't like they hit a baragea

2:23

threes, right normally though, that's what

2:25

usually brings you back. But that's my point

2:27

that it makes it that much worse that

2:29

the Lakers couldn't hold

2:31

the twenty point in a game like

2:34

this where it's one oh one ninety nine,

2:37

Rob, where the Lakers scored fifty

2:40

nine points in the first half, in just

2:42

forty in the second half in

2:45

a low scoring game like this, Rob, that

2:47

twenty point lead really

2:50

is like an old school twenty point

2:52

lead, and that makes

2:54

it that much worse in today's NBA. That's

2:56

like darn near a thirty point lead because

3:00

they didn't do it with the threes. They did it by

3:02

shutting you down defensively, to holding

3:04

you to forty points in the second

3:06

half, and just by pounding

3:09

you, owning the glass and

3:12

just beating you. An old school team

3:14

basketball. But anyway, Lebron,

3:18

I don't know that Lebron truly complained

3:21

about the rest, but he certainly complained about

3:23

the replace center. And

3:26

Joe LMB robbed the Knicks. I

3:29

mean, I think the Philly

3:31

lost as bad as the Lakers loss was.

3:33

And I get it.

3:34

They gave up a twenty point league Philadelphia,

3:37

Rob.

3:38

I mean, they.

3:39

Had that Game one, They're

3:42

up five with forty seven

3:45

seconds left, and I get it that.

3:47

You know, that's a lot of time. That's a lot of time

3:49

in the NBA, Chris's but they blew

3:51

it.

3:52

They the way it happened, you know

3:54

what, I mean, the bounds what yeah,

3:56

they could cry about and the league.

3:58

Has already come back.

4:00

You're gonna set that the official screwed up,

4:02

and they did, Chris with the fouls, But where's

4:05

the inbound with the call of time

4:07

time out?

4:08

And that's the other thing. They didn't let Nick Nurse

4:10

get a time out. Chris. Well, here's here's

4:12

Joe LMB talking about it.

4:14

Rob and everybody on the

4:16

floor was trying to call Tom out, myself

4:18

into the Nikoll coach on the

4:20

salon, but

4:23

that didn't give it to us. But you know, forget

4:25

about the timeline. There's a bunch of files.

4:28

You know, like I said, unacceptable.

4:31

Rob, as you said, the league came

4:33

out with the two minute report

4:36

and the Tyres Maxie

4:38

was fouled twice, not once,

4:40

Chris twice twice. And

4:43

here, look, I don't like the players

4:46

complaining about the officiating.

4:49

I didn't like it last night with Himbid.

4:51

I'm like, why don't you black box out Isaiah

4:53

Hartenstein after the

4:56

Dante Dvenche plays that could have.

4:58

Been made too. I'm with you, how about unbounding

5:00

the ball correctly and not.

5:03

Or even calling And they say they tried

5:05

to call time out, but here before

5:07

we I just want to say this, right, why

5:11

does the league do the two minute report?

5:14

I don't know.

5:16

Do you like like I mean,

5:19

I don't do it. No, I do with

5:21

it as a fan us enlightenment.

5:23

But what is it? It's not good.

5:26

It makes your refs look

5:28

horrible.

5:30

The bottom line is, and here's

5:32

the problem. And I know they got

5:35

the refs, umpires,

5:37

all these people, Chris, they got unions and all

5:39

this.

5:39

It's hard to fire them.

5:41

And that's what needs

5:44

to happen when guys

5:46

continue to make and I'm not saying, you know that

5:48

this should be a certain threshold of

5:51

accuracy and when those things come in

5:53

like that and you blow calls, they

5:55

should count against you and you should

5:57

have the right to let go of officials.

6:00

And the league should be able to say, Chris

6:03

that Joe Blow

6:05

and.

6:06

Tom Tom you

6:08

know, Tom.

6:08

Thumb have been relieved of uh

6:11

you know, well you know, but

6:14

they don't do that.

6:15

And I think that's what people don't get to.

6:17

You don't get to, you know, ref in the playoffs

6:20

and stuff like that.

6:21

You need to lose jobs, Chris. You need to

6:23

lose. But that's fine.

6:26

I'm just saying, Rob, I

6:30

don't know what purpose. I

6:33

don't know that the two minute report serves

6:35

a good purpose. Like

6:38

I guess does that make Philly?

6:41

Does that make Philly feel any better? Or

6:44

does that actually tick you off? Because it's not

6:46

like we're gonna play the last minute.

6:49

You know, you're gonna put us up by five again

6:51

and we're gonna play the last minute, or Max's

6:53

gonna get.

6:53

Free throws or whatever we

6:56

lost, you're admitting.

7:00

You're admitting we lost,

7:03

or you know a large portion

7:05

of a large portion of

7:08

why we lost is because

7:10

the refs screwed up, right, and

7:12

you're too many reports supposed to make me feel

7:15

better and it's actually making me feel

7:17

worse.

7:17

Yeah, I agree.

7:19

I just don't think if you're not going to do

7:21

anything, which you're not, and you

7:24

you can't do anything. You can't overturn the game.

7:26

You can't do any of that. People

7:28

have paid their money, they left the building. You can't,

7:30

Chris, when they're at.

7:31

Home going did you start up game play?

7:34

Yeah?

7:34

You know what that that they lost? That game, all

7:36

that stuff you went through, they lost.

7:39

No people, if you did that

7:42

to people, Chris, people would be irate,

7:44

like you can't take that from them, you know

7:46

what I mean.

7:47

Once once the people leave the building,

7:50

that's game. No, I get it.

7:51

I'm just saying, like, then,

7:54

what then? Why do I remember telling? Now

7:56

this was years ago when they first implemented. I talked

7:58

to an official about it and he was like, Nah,

8:01

it's terrible. You're just

8:03

you're just making us look bad. And

8:06

I get somebody say, well, you made mistakes,

8:08

ye, Rob, I mean.

8:10

Any job, what if? Every what if?

8:12

Before at the start of every show, Rob

8:16

rob G came out and

8:19

said, every mistake we had made, nothing's

8:22

gonna change.

8:23

But you know you would it would take three

8:25

hours and we wouldn't have a show at.

8:27

That But

8:29

you know, it's just I don't know.

8:30

Look, I think the league means well,

8:33

remember there were a lot of conspiracy theories,

8:35

games fixed and you know,

8:37

and they this was part of the answer,

8:40

you know, right to be transparent.

8:42

I get that, but Rob, if.

8:44

You're not going to change anything,

8:47

it just I don't know what

8:49

the purpose is.

8:50

I think they meant well, But.

8:54

Like I said, if I'm for transp

8:57

I able to be transparent and

9:00

that we could admit that something

9:03

was wrong, nobody expects anybody

9:06

to be perfect.

9:07

That is not what That's not the world. Chris.

9:09

I've said this to you a million times, and

9:12

when I was a kid growing up listening to the

9:15

late Great Mets announcer Bob Murphy.

9:17

Every time a player made an air of

9:19

Chris, he said the same thing.

9:22

That's why they put erasers on pencils

9:24

because people make mistakes. So it

9:26

ain't about that you have to be perfect

9:28

and you could never make a mistake, but

9:31

there has to be some accountability to

9:34

me, to you.

9:35

Know, after a while, this just isn't a career

9:38

for you, you know what I mean, Like, this

9:40

isn't a career for you. You just all go at

9:43

it like yeah.

9:44

I mean, you're looking at it different lead to me, I'm not really

9:46

trying. I'm not looking at it as an indictment

9:49

on the rests.

9:50

I know you're looking at it as just like it it doesn't

9:52

do anything right, It doesn't do it.

9:53

Yeah, yeah, that's all I'm saying.

9:55

But you know, overall,

9:57

though Rob Mbeed at one

10:00

point did say we're

10:03

the better team. We should be up to.

10:05

Oh, we're gonna win this series.

10:07

I like that.

10:09

I think that's the attitude you have to

10:11

have.

10:12

You can't.

10:13

I mean, yeah, the official screwed you. There's

10:16

no ifsanings or buts about it. But because

10:19

the league's not gonna do anything about it.

10:21

You just have to you can you gotta

10:23

ignore that, You

10:26

really have to ignore it. And

10:29

I didn't like the complaining. Now

10:31

did you see Lebron. Here here's what

10:33

Lebron said, We're I'm doing kershon in

10:35

a press conference. Chris like that, Well,

10:38

that's not new. I mean he's I'm not saying he does

10:40

it all the time, but he's done that before. But

10:42

here he was cursing at their victory

10:45

parade in twenty sixteen in

10:48

Cleveland when they beat Golden State. But

10:50

anyway, here's Lebron

10:53

talking about the Replace Center

10:55

last night.

10:56

I don't understand what's going on in Replace Center. To be

10:58

honest, I said it. I think I said

11:00

it this year or last year whatever. Delo clearly

11:02

gets hit in the face on the drive. We

11:06

have a replay centers is going

11:08

to go? That doesn't it doesn't make sense

11:10

to me, makes no sense to me. It

11:13

bothers me. I'm sorry to ask your

11:15

question, but that is like. And

11:18

then I just saw what happened with the

11:21

Sixers nickname too. What are

11:23

we what are we doing?

11:26

I think?

11:27

And Lebron was that had nothing

11:29

to do with the question he was asked, Rob, I

11:31

think he was sending a message to

11:33

the officials trying,

11:36

you know, remember Phil Jackson and all

11:38

that, how he would do that.

11:39

I think that's what he was doing.

11:40

Trying to soft soak them so that they could think about

11:42

it for the next time.

11:43

All right, right.

11:46

And I also think, I mean he

11:49

he knows his voice among players

11:51

resonates stronger than anybody's in the

11:53

league office. So you

11:55

know, look, it'll put the

11:57

league the replace center on

11:59

no. I mean, look, the replay center,

12:02

Rob shouldn't be getting things wrong. They

12:04

should be getting things right.

12:05

That's why they don't exist, the replay center, Chris,

12:07

because they're human beings.

12:09

We see it on the NFL all the time. They review

12:11

plays.

12:13

If you leave it up to people, even watching

12:15

tape, they're going

12:18

to get it wrong. Sometimes I've watched football

12:20

games, I'm like, dude, that's clearly this or

12:22

clearly that, and then they go to the replay

12:25

and nothing happens because

12:27

human beings are watching it. So even

12:30

humans make mistakes in a replay booth.

12:32

And that's why I

12:35

understand why people want to get it right, Chris,

12:37

or try to get it right. That's why The

12:39

only way I really believe that you should change

12:42

calls in sports is when it's

12:44

obvious. When I watch and the

12:46

first basement doesn't have his foot Chris on

12:48

the bag and they called him out at first,

12:51

and I see that. That overturn

12:53

that, But I don't want all these

12:55

other things overturned.

12:56

It should just be clear.

12:58

You shouldn't have to watch it twenty two times

13:00

Chris over and over and over to

13:03

change a call, right, it should be obvious.

13:06

I don't know.

13:06

I mean, my thing is I

13:09

disagree to some degree because

13:12

there's so much riding on these

13:14

games. And I get you're right, human beings

13:16

aren't gonna be infallible, they're gonna makeakes,

13:19

But I do think, and I don't. I think

13:21

there's gotta be a time limit, right. It can't

13:24

be time, That's what I'm saying about.

13:25

They watch it for five minutes.

13:28

But whatever the limit

13:30

is, you can't go over that.

13:33

But you do have to do your best to get it right

13:36

because there's money for the players,

13:38

for gamblers, for coaches.

13:41

Jobs are on the line, like.

13:42

That's so much matters in these

13:45

games, and I do

13:47

think they need to try to get it.

13:48

Right, all right, It's the Odd Couple.

13:50

Chris and Rob is trash talking Tuesday,

13:52

13:54

16:13

wow. I thought he might be out

16:15

there and that is something

16:17

right there.

16:18

Kawhi playing, I'm surprised to

16:20

considering that one and a half

16:22

feels even better now considering

16:24

they won the first game. Uh,

16:27

I'm surprised they're bringing him back. But hey, if

16:29

he's ready, Chris, we talk about

16:32

all the time. If you're ready to play, go

16:34

play.

16:34

You can't like if you're gonna if you're

16:38

gotta if you're if you're healthy and

16:41

you've been cleared, go play.

16:42

Not Kevin Durant in the finals.

16:44

Please not that one big

16:47

clear we we I mean, we knew, we

16:49

first guessed that.

16:51

We're not far from doctors, and we knew

16:53

that he should have been playing.

16:54

But yeah, we'll see. But yeah, that's good

16:56

news for the Clippers. And look, if Kawhi

16:59

is there, we talked about it. Winner

17:09

Yes you do, yes, you do. So

17:12

uh yeah, good news for the Clippers.

17:15

Rob Let's keep talking about the Sixers

17:17

and the Lakers.

17:19

Both down two, both going

17:21

home for the next two games.

17:23

Of these two teams, which one

17:25

do you give the best chance or the better

17:27

chance of rallying

17:30

and still winning their series.

17:35

I say neither.

17:36

But if I have to pick between these two, I

17:39

would pick the Sixers. I really

17:41

would.

17:42

Chris. I just don't see

17:45

the Lakers coming back. It's

17:48

just not.

17:49

Against Denver, not against the defending champs,

17:51

not against a team that has beating

17:54

them ten straight times, you know, all

17:56

those things.

17:57

I just can't see it.

17:59

The Knicks of play well, but let's be honest,

18:01

Brunton has just shot in the ball. Hadn't shot in the

18:04

ball Chris particularly well, right,

18:06

and.

18:07

He doesn't against Philly. They

18:09

even the regular season, they did a good job against

18:11

it.

18:12

On him, you know, like they have a plan

18:14

for him.

18:15

Yeah.

18:15

And last night that should have been a split

18:18

in New York. Oh yeah, right, that

18:20

should have been a split. They will

18:22

the reason that they will wind up losing

18:24

the series. They will go back and look at this what

18:27

happened last night, because that should be a win, up

18:30

by five or whatever.

18:31

With thirty forty seconds left, like if you,

18:33

if.

18:34

You play it right, hold the ball

18:36

and make the Knicks either foul you or take a shot

18:38

late, you know, you know, good

18:40

shame.

18:40

And again they did get screwed. There's

18:43

no other way that. I mean, the league admitted.

18:45

It, but yeah,

18:47

I would say I would. I just the Lakers

18:49

to me and Denver just doesn't go together.

18:52

I'm with you.

18:53

Look, I think the Lakers series is oh, and

18:55

I said it after Game one.

18:57

I mean I always picked Denver in six.

18:59

I be Rob, if the Lakers

19:02

got into six, that would

19:04

be something impressive. At

19:07

this point, will they get a game?

19:09

That's really what we're looking like. I don't

19:12

think any I think even

19:14

the well, there are some

19:17

die hards, but I

19:19

think Rob, even most Lakers fans

19:22

are now wondering, will we

19:24

get a game? Not will

19:26

we win the series? Will we get a game?

19:29

So I think this was over Philly. Look, Joe

19:31

l embiid, he said it, we're

19:34

the better team.

19:36

We should be up too. Oh, we're

19:38

gonna win the series. Now.

19:39

I don't think they should be up too oh, but

19:41

it's obviously should be one to one. And

19:43

Rob, I think he's right. I think

19:46

Philadelphia I picked the Knicks in seven.

19:49

I like that pick, but I think Philly's

19:51

gonna make it a series. And if MB were

19:53

healthy, I'd have picked Philadelphia.

19:56

But Philly, even with him not being

19:58

healthy, He's still the best player

20:00

on the court. And I

20:04

do think they're gonna make it a series. I don't

20:06

think this thing is over again.

20:08

Think the Knicks are gonna win, but it's

20:11

not a done deal. They have

20:13

to go up three to zero to end this

20:15

thing. And

20:18

I think Philly Robb does have a good

20:20

chance of getting back in the

20:22

series and even still winning the series.

20:25

I like Embeid saying that.

20:28

You know, talking forcefully and confidently

20:32

about winning the series, even

20:35

as he was complaining about the officials, although he

20:37

turned out to be right. All right, it's the odd

20:39

couple because of Rob Eddie House around the corner.

20:41

20:56

Our next guest got

20:58

theme music. He's an NBA champion, NBC

21:01

Sports Boston commentator,

21:04

Fox Sports Radio NBA analysts, our

21:07

man the sharpshooter, Eddie House,

21:09

What up.

21:10

Eddie yo yo?

21:11

What's happening to guys? Early in the week was going

21:13

on, I mean, what a great night last night?

21:16

Man, was it a great Now let's start here.

21:18

We can start with.

21:19

The Lakers, but I want to go here the two minute

21:21

report. You heard Philly complaining

21:23

about the calls. Turns out they were right. Nick

21:26

Nurse was trying to call the time out. The

21:28

NBA admitted it.

21:30

Tyrese Maxi was fouled twice.

21:32

The NBA admitted it.

21:34

When you and I,

21:36

I think I don't remember if they had him, to be honest,

21:39

when you were still in the league.

21:41

But as a player,

21:44

does that make you angrier or

21:47

what?

21:47

When you see I mean, they lost a playoff

21:50

game almost certainly

21:52

because of bad calls by the

21:54

one two fouls

21:57

and not giving them a timeout.

21:59

Does that just tick thank you off?

22:00

As a player,

22:03

Yes, it would, And I don't remember them

22:05

having those when I played. But

22:08

I've been vocal about this, you know on

22:10

NBC Sports Boston when.

22:12

After I play.

22:13

Why would they even come out and say it doesn't change

22:15

anything. If they messed up,

22:17

you know, go ahead and grade

22:20

that crew and give them all and

22:22

Mark you got to give them, but don't put

22:25

it out publicly because it doesn't

22:27

do anything. It doesn't change anything.

22:29

Now you want to say, oh, we missed

22:31

these calls. Let's take it back to the time we missed

22:34

the first call, and now that's over the old handle

22:36

worms that they missed all throughout the game.

22:38

But it's the last few minutes, in

22:40

the biggest moments of a big game, a

22:42

playoff game. You go one to one, you're able

22:44

to steal one, or you go down

22:47

two. It's a big difference.

22:49

And I don't like it. I'm

22:51

not a fan. I think that that's something that should be

22:54

held within house.

22:55

You know, they do it quickly.

22:57

Rob they do it because you remember

22:59

they were always these conspiracy theories.

23:01

Obviously you had the Tim donaghy situation,

23:04

and they you know, they want to let the fans know.

23:06

Look, we'll admit when we make mistakes,

23:08

but none of.

23:08

This is fixed. I get that.

23:11

But it is to a point where you wonder if

23:13

it's doing more harm than good at this

23:15

point, because it it's just

23:18

they losing seven. This is gonna be

23:20

really bad because Phil, let's.

23:22

Take let's let's check this out. Okay, so you say

23:24

you want to do it for the fans, Well, these fans are

23:26

betting on this game. Now that costs

23:29

people money.

23:30

Yeah, you know, so now so

23:32

what are.

23:33

We talking about?

23:33

You know what I mean, like, at the end of the day, just keep that in

23:35

the house. Hey, they missed it. Everybody

23:37

in the NBA within that circle of

23:40

the officiating, the umbrella

23:43

underneath that, everybody that's a

23:45

part of the officiating crew and stuff like that, and

23:48

the upper upper

23:50

people in in the NBA. Then yeah, okay,

23:53

they know that, but don't put that public because they

23:55

just you know, that just peels

23:57

the scab off again.

24:00

Obviously, the Lakers

24:02

blowing a twenty point lead and losing,

24:05

you know, a heartbreaker and

24:08

now they're down two.

24:09

But help me.

24:10

At the end of the game, Chris and I were talking about this

24:13

and casep falls

24:15

down. Lebron has a wide open look, you

24:18

know, but there's still eleven or twelve seconds

24:20

left in the game.

24:22

What was it, Chris fourteen fourteen?

24:26

Is that the right player?

24:28

I've talked to coaches who say, you don't want

24:30

to take that shot with that much time, that

24:33

you want to get it down to three or two,

24:35

take a shot and then you know at least

24:37

either you're going to win or go to overtime.

24:40

What have you been taught or help

24:42

me with that?

24:43

Well, Yeah, that's usually the rule of

24:45

thumb. But when you have the

24:47

guy that scored the most points in NBA

24:49

history, you have in

24:52

other people's minds saying that is

24:54

the goat, you know, and arguably he can

24:57

be for whoever side you want to argue

24:59

for, or he couldn't be.

25:02

You can't.

25:03

You can't say that. I mean, wide open three

25:05

and he's shooting forty one percent. I mean, you

25:08

can't be mad at that shot.

25:11

Even though you caution, remember,

25:14

had just hit two threes before that.

25:16

Eddie, what but what what have you been? But what

25:18

have you been taught that that you don't

25:20

take the shot with that much time?

25:22

Yeah, but I haven't been him.

25:24

No, no, I'm just saying. I'm just talking about

25:26

general Eddie.

25:27

They were like, Eddie, you don't take that shot.

25:29

No, no, no, no, no,

25:32

not over him, not of

25:34

those guys.

25:35

I shouldn't be taking that shot unless they pass

25:37

it to me. Then I'm taking that shot.

25:39

Okay.

25:40

But uh, the rule

25:42

of thumb is you don't want to leave any time on the clock. He's

25:44

either going you know, you.

25:45

Go for the wind or well overtime,

25:48

overtime right or whatever

25:51

it is you you bleed the clock as low as you

25:53

can, even if the shot clock is different from

25:55

the game clock.

25:56

You want to be able to take that shot

25:58

and then you know you go from there. But but

26:00

it was a wide omen shot. He meant, that wasn't the

26:02

reason why they lost that game though, you

26:04

know it wasn't that one shot. I mean, he was

26:06

the reason why they was in that position, you

26:09

know, I mean to be there,

26:11

so, I mean it was

26:14

tough, Like they didn't get the stops they needed, they

26:16

didn't get the best buckets, they didn't need an Anthony

26:18

Davis. Where was you at in the fourth quarter? That's back to back

26:20

games. First, first game was Lebron.

26:23

Wasn't there in the fourth quarter Lebron? So what ad

26:25

they got to put it together?

26:27

Eddie.

26:28

Look, we know these guys are pros, and in

26:31

Lebron's case, he's come back from a three to one

26:33

deficit against you know, a

26:35

seventy three win team. But

26:37

if you if you were are I

26:39

mean you are a former player,

26:41

you won a championship. If

26:44

you are in a position where

26:46

you're down, you've lost ten straight

26:49

games to a team,

26:51

they're the champions, and

26:54

they've beaten you just about every way.

26:56

Possible.

26:57

You up twenty they beat you. Lebron's

26:59

great, they beat you. A D's great. D Loo's

27:02

great.

27:02

They beat you.

27:03

They beat you at home, they beat you on the road,

27:05

like I mean, you're human.

27:08

How much of a weight is that on

27:11

you? And at this point, how

27:13

how much do you think that affects the Lakers

27:16

going into Game three?

27:19

I think that you're obviously aware of it. I

27:21

think us outside is more aware of it than

27:23

they are. They know that they've been losing. But

27:25

as competitors, you think you always gonna win that next

27:27

one, that next one, that next one. Now it would

27:30

be different. You know. It's like

27:32

a fight almost Now it's getting too because it's

27:34

ten and oh you just went

27:36

up and got beat up ten times straight.

27:38

It's like, oh you know what, you see

27:41

him coming you cross the street.

27:42

I'm over here.

27:43

Year.

27:44

You better have a you better have a

27:46

something, You better have something on you to get him off

27:48

you.

27:49

I promise you that.

27:50

And that's the Eddie.

27:51

It's it's all within one calendar

27:54

year.

27:54

This ain't over three or four years. That's crazy.

27:56

That's crazy.

27:57

I mean, my goodness, they must be having a nightmare

28:00

about the Nuggets.

28:01

Eddie, what's wrong with the Suns. Are they going to

28:03

be corrected there or just is it too much t wolves

28:05

or or no that they

28:07

can bounce back in this series.

28:10

A man, that you got three great players over

28:12

there, really two two you know,

28:14

top tier players and Bradley Bills. I think

28:16

right under in that next level

28:18

of really really really good

28:21

players, all star type caliber

28:23

players, I think they could

28:25

figure it out. I mean they're battling right

28:27

now, you know, looking at the game right now,

28:29

they're battling. Guys are knocking shots

28:31

in, you know, and they're they're looking like

28:34

you know, they're there. They got fight to him. You

28:37

just never can count out guys like Kate,

28:39

Kevin Durant or I don't think you can

28:41

bank on Devin Booker having another game like he

28:43

had game one.

28:45

Eddie.

28:46

Look, I know that Anthony

28:49

Edwards loves Kevin Durant,

28:51

right he says he's the goat, so he got

28:53

major respect for Durant. But

28:56

I got be honest, I didn't like the

28:58

way Durant was responded to Anthony

29:02

Edwards talking all that trash in his face.

29:04

In game one, they're up.

29:06

Sixteen, he's you

29:08

know, Edwards is going off and he's talking

29:10

all that trash to Durant

29:13

And I'm not saying,

29:15

you know, I keep it to basketball. I'm

29:17

not saying he should have been trying to fight him.

29:20

But I just don't think you need to be smiling

29:23

and laughing like that. I mean, this is the

29:25

playoffs, man, this is like you

29:27

need to win this game. You shouldn't be to

29:29

me, you shouldn't be laughing

29:31

about this young buck all

29:33

up in your face talking about you old

29:36

and you can't do nothing with me and all that.

29:39

Am I am I looking too much into this?

29:42

Or what do you think?

29:43

Well?

29:44

I think this It depends on the person. Some

29:46

people laugh and it's a sinister laugh. Some

29:49

people laugh and it's a scare laugh. Some

29:51

people laugh because they think it's funny. Right,

29:53

which one is he? That's what we finna find

29:55

out in this series. Was that a sinister

29:58

laugh like okay, I said out

30:00

here, I'm better come kill you, or was

30:02

it I'm laughing with you?

30:04

Yeah?

30:04

I think that's funny and it's cool, like you

30:07

know, I expected it. I expected

30:09

more so of a sinister laugh because

30:13

I think he's a I think he's a killer. I think he's

30:15

a hooper he's a real killer on

30:17

the court.

30:18

I'm not saying nothing else about him.

30:19

I think that you KD.

30:22

I'm talking about KD.

30:24

Oh, Okay, we know.

30:25

I mean two time MVP of the

30:27

of the Finals, you know, going against Lebron

30:30

at the time, hitting all the big shots. We can't

30:32

sit here. And he had thirty one after Edwards

30:34

had thirty three. He had thirty one though, So

30:36

it wasn't like he was out there just getting killed, and

30:39

you know, you was able to say that he No, it

30:41

wasn't like that. I feel like it's like, Okay,

30:43

I'll see you out here, all right, bet we

30:46

finish. See the next game, wena Phil.

30:49

If it was sinister or if it was now,

30:51

I can't do nothing with this young boy. I'm gonna laugh with

30:53

him, all right, we don't see

30:55

all right, Eddie, great.

33:09

Fellas, we gotta do something this uproar

33:12

about that's on social media, about Twitter, about

33:14

the Caitlin Cart making seventy five thousand

33:17

a year equaling a three hundred summer thousand,

33:19

complaining about isn't shaving the stick? And

33:21

men, why did I make the same. I don't

33:23

understand why this so hard to keeople comprehend.

33:26

So wd NBA does not bring in the ratings

33:29

or the TV viewers that the

33:31

NBA does. So the reason why it's not equals

33:34

because that equals to our rat

33:36

ad revenue and which equal to money

33:38

and Jersey seals why and ticket sales? Why

33:40

34:02

It's so simple, blind

34:04

demand. Let's

34:06

go to Doug in Iowa. You're on the odd couple of Fox

34:09

Sports Radio. Who your tragic

34:11

Doug?

34:13

Unfortunately I'm at the trash uh

34:16

the sports media. And one said

34:19

Rob Parker. I listened

34:22

to you. I listen

34:24

to you guys on the podcast and every

34:26

day at work. Whenever I hear yo

34:28

yo yo yo yo yo to start

34:30

a show, I know it's about to be some Laker

34:33

hate coming. Wow, Hey,

34:36

you're my guy, Robert. I hate

34:38

your Bronnie takes. I'm okay with us. Drafted

34:40

Bronnie to keep brown happy. Uh, we

34:43

drafted much Parker Man. Okay, we'll be okay.

34:45

We give Brownie to feel handy. I've

34:47

seen h work miracles with our young undrafted

34:50

prospects.

34:51

Like Austin Reeves.

34:52

Uh.

34:53

As far as people's take on lebron

34:55

James, like wow, we should trade him, we shouldn't

34:57

give him a new contract. He holds hostage.

35:00

Who cares do y'all remember the drought

35:02

that we had after Kobe

35:04

retired. How nobody wanted to come

35:06

take this Laker money. Please sign

35:09

it up for as many years if Lebron as we can

35:11

get is who he's getting now. And the only problem

35:13

we have with Lebron's contract, get him with no

35:15

trade card.

35:16

Give me anything you.

35:17

Want, But how about you take a couple less

35:19

bucks so we can put

35:21

some more talent on this team so you can go up against

35:23

this Nugget Juggernaut. They're

35:25

a really good team. But all right, our

35:28

shot now and then if we can't beat you,

35:30

let's get you the offseason healthy and come back that

35:32

year.

35:54

I never ever from my life.

35:57

Yeah you I never want to hear anybody

35:59

talk about this guy being clutched in my

36:01

life. In the playoffs, twenty four seconds

36:04

or less ago, tied to take the lead eleven

36:06

for thirty one fifty.

36:09

This layup merchant, no bag,

36:11

thirty seven percent shooter outside

36:14

of the paint for his career. I never want

36:16

to hear this guy is clutch. Bruce

36:19

36:21

36:23

36:28

36:31

Is Lebron clutch? Rock Do you think, oh,

I'm not saying he's Jordan in the clutch, but I think

36:38

36:38

He ain't. No, he's not Steph Right, I'll

36:40

just say that he's not Steff Robs.

36:59

quick on the He got about a second.

37:01

37:04

As we all know the drafts coming up, so I'm gonna shot

37:06

out the ESPN from Bill dusk One as the analyst.

37:08

It'll be great because he will tell us all the players

37:10

that he likes and that he would draft and then we

37:13

as the fans, and those are all the players that can't play.

37:18

Well, Look, he hadn't been the he hadn't
