I can guarantee you, any other West Coast 00:00:11.300 --> 00:00:14.419 team that's watching this, I'm sure USC is gnashing 00:00:14.419 --> 00:00:17.359 their teeth right now saying, how come we couldn't 00:00:17.359 --> 00:00:20.000 have thought of this first? Interesting guests, 00:00:20.199 --> 00:00:22.879 Kelly Graves, Mike Parker, Coach Mark Waszkowski, 00:00:23.120 --> 00:00:25.579 Melissa Lombardi, Max Torres, El Toro, joining 00:00:25.579 --> 00:00:28.679 us, Sharp Opinions. I think if you're a supporter 00:00:28.679 --> 00:00:31.160 of the NBA, that you should at least have some 00:00:31.160 --> 00:00:33.299 level of interest in the WNBA because the things 00:00:33.299 --> 00:00:36.799 that interest you as a NBA fan should still interest 00:00:36.799 --> 00:00:38.859 you as a WNBA fan. That's just my opinion. And 00:00:38.859 --> 00:00:40.920 some smiles. Can you guess what position I played 00:00:40.920 --> 00:00:43.979 in football? Left out? No, I did not. Yeah, exactly. 00:00:44.579 --> 00:00:46.079 I did think about that for a second, but yes, 00:00:46.079 --> 00:00:47.619 actually, I did not play. I was not big enough. 00:00:47.780 --> 00:00:50.439 Goose tried to kill me today on the golf course. 00:00:50.740 --> 00:00:52.619 Advanced warning was given. It just apparently 00:00:52.619 --> 00:00:55.200 was not heard. I will dispute that in a court 00:00:55.200 --> 00:00:57.740 of law. It's Danny Havel. If you're driving and 00:00:57.740 --> 00:00:59.200 you're trying to do this in your head, pull off 00:00:59.200 --> 00:01:00.799 the side of the road.

Maybe that's another 00:01:12.819 --> 00:01:15.959 strategy. Danny and Justin starts now on Fox 00:01:15.959 --> 00:01:21.579 Sports Eugene and Fox Sports Newport.

Bit of a a down slide 00:03:18.800 --> 00:03:20.659 down your slump. You're a little slump.

Well, there's a lot of there's a lot 00:03:26.639 --> 00:03:29.159 of college World Series baseball. We are always 00:03:29.159 --> 00:03:31.659 at a little bit of an advantage whenever we have 00:03:31.659 --> 00:03:33.340 somebody that has their picks ahead of time, 00:03:33.400 --> 00:03:36.520 right? Yeah, I had to do that last week and goose 00:03:36.520 --> 00:03:38.419 did it this week. So we know what he picked. 00:03:38.860 --> 00:03:40.879 But I have to say that there's only a couple 00:03:40.879 --> 00:03:45.319 of games I in my mind disagreed with. When I 00:03:45.319 --> 00:03:47.319 looked at his picks disagreed in terms of yeah, 00:03:47.400 --> 00:03:49.680 like I would I would pick the other Okay, yeah, 00:03:49.680 --> 00:03:51.539 but only a couple well what I love about goose 00:03:51.539 --> 00:03:53.900 is he definitely plays mind games with us He 00:03:53.900 --> 00:03:56.199 intentionally picks games where he knows who 00:03:56.199 --> 00:03:58.300 we're gonna pick there's some psychological warfare 00:03:58.300 --> 00:04:01.099 going on with goose Yeah, and and you know it's 00:04:01.099 --> 00:04:03.979 very obvious that that like that sweet exterior 00:04:03.979 --> 00:04:06.199 and that you know the funny happy guy and everything 00:04:06.199 --> 00:04:10.219 else now He's he's like playing a game With you 00:04:10.219 --> 00:04:12.419 he's he's taking you out back, and he's like 00:04:12.419 --> 00:04:15.979 yeah You know the martial arts technique like 00:04:15.979 --> 00:04:19.129 drunken master no You've never heard of this 00:04:19.129 --> 00:04:21.730 well Hawk. Have you heard of this? I feel like 00:04:21.730 --> 00:04:24.470 I have yeah, it's like the like I feel like it's 00:04:24.470 --> 00:04:26.009 a karate or something like that where it's like 00:04:26.009 --> 00:04:27.910 it's like a style of fighting where somebody 00:04:27.910 --> 00:04:30.050 looks like they're kind of stumbling and then 00:04:30.050 --> 00:04:31.550 like they're almost like they're drunk, but it's 00:04:31.550 --> 00:04:34.029 really all intentional and they're really just 00:04:34.029 --> 00:04:36.410 using that as sort of the surprise tactic So 00:04:36.410 --> 00:04:38.389 did Jackie Chan ever use this in a movie because 00:04:38.389 --> 00:04:42.170 if he did then I cannot believe Yes, it's drunken 00:04:42.170 --> 00:04:44.290 master. It's a movie Yes, there you go. Drunken 00:04:44.290 --> 00:04:47.029 Master. And Jackie Chan stars in the movie. I 00:04:47.029 --> 00:04:48.829 knew, Heather, it had to be some Jackie Chan 00:04:48.829 --> 00:04:50.290 reference. I feel like that's what Goose is doing. 00:04:50.769 --> 00:04:53.889 He's got this exterior that he's like, ooh, I'm 00:04:53.889 --> 00:04:55.930 just having a good time. But it's all, there's 00:04:55.930 --> 00:04:58.870 a mind game behind it. World Cup is officially 00:04:58.870 --> 00:05:02.009 underway. Had a couple of matches the other day, 00:05:02.509 --> 00:05:05.829 Republic of South Africa against Mexico. And 00:05:05.829 --> 00:05:09.269 then...

It's not chechia There's a difference. 00:05:14.970 --> 00:05:19.730 It's chechia. It's not chechia Or whatever they're 00:05:19.730 --> 00:05:22.129 saying it. I have i've heard three people now 00:05:22.129 --> 00:05:24.949 in updates say the name wrong Wait, so say it 00:05:24.949 --> 00:05:27.730 again for me one chechia chechia chechia chechia 00:05:27.730 --> 00:05:29.670 That was a great match last night. Did you watch 00:05:29.670 --> 00:05:31.769 south korea chechia? It was south korea. No, 00:05:31.769 --> 00:05:34.310 I did not no I was uh, what was I doing? So it 00:05:34.310 --> 00:05:37.480 was deb's Pottery night. So I think Abby and 00:05:37.480 --> 00:05:40.360 I were that's kind of our night to watch our 00:05:40.360 --> 00:05:43.480 shows So I think we hung out and watched we actually 00:05:43.480 --> 00:05:46.519 started watching a spider noir. I did Nicholas 00:05:46.519 --> 00:05:48.639 cage. I've heard it's really good. We only got 00:05:48.639 --> 00:05:52.019 through One and a half episodes, but I liked 00:05:52.019 --> 00:05:54.920 it so far. You know, Nick cage is slowing down 00:05:54.920 --> 00:06:00.579 a bit and is and is and is a Speaking style is 00:06:00.579 --> 00:06:03.600 kind of like getting elongated, but that's also 00:06:03.600 --> 00:06:05.459 sort of he's doing the Humphrey Bogart thing. 00:06:05.459 --> 00:06:07.680 Is he doing that you think okay? So yeah, so 00:06:07.680 --> 00:06:09.399 can I just give you a little content? I watched 00:06:09.399 --> 00:06:11.240 the first episode of my mom who teaches film 00:06:11.240 --> 00:06:14.220 noir okay, so Real quick, but I want you to get 00:06:14.220 --> 00:06:16.680 it. Did you watch it in color or black and white 00:06:16.680 --> 00:06:20.079 okay? That's see you get an option to watch it 00:06:20.079 --> 00:06:22.100 either in color. I know that or in black and 00:06:22.100 --> 00:06:24.699 white Okay, go ahead. Have you all seen the Nicolas 00:06:24.699 --> 00:06:29.279 Cage mural in Eugene? No Don't go on like I think 00:06:29.279 --> 00:06:30.899 it's like the dominoes over there on Cobra come 00:06:30.899 --> 00:06:33.220 back the wing stop and all that stuff over there 00:06:33.220 --> 00:06:38.019 and I feel like this is what Google's for and 00:06:38.019 --> 00:06:41.100 if you go I can Google it but there is a Massive 00:06:41.100 --> 00:06:42.779 it's like on this apartment building a massive 00:06:42.779 --> 00:06:45.139 Nicolas Cage mural and then sometimes if you 00:06:45.139 --> 00:06:47.550 go by they'll have like All these like flags 00:06:47.550 --> 00:06:49.670 with his face on him. It's like a whole. Oh, 00:06:49.689 --> 00:06:51.310 I gotta go see this now down by Oakway Center 00:06:51.310 --> 00:06:53.910 Then yeah, like like a block up on Coburg Road. 00:06:53.930 --> 00:06:56.730 Okay, so so finish Give you a little context 00:06:56.730 --> 00:06:59.629 because my mom teaches film noir She's very very 00:06:59.629 --> 00:07:01.930 familiar with the genre and she actually didn't 00:07:01.930 --> 00:07:04.550 really love it too much And I think that why 00:07:04.550 --> 00:07:06.670 we were just the first episode though. She watched 00:07:06.670 --> 00:07:09.350 the first episode I think it's like when you 00:07:09.350 --> 00:07:11.730 are such an expert in something and somebody 00:07:11.730 --> 00:07:15.410 is it's Trying to emulate exactly like I think 00:07:15.410 --> 00:07:17.550 there were some of it that felt like it was almost 00:07:17.550 --> 00:07:20.329 a little too modern Where so they cut a corner? 00:07:20.649 --> 00:07:23.610 No, it's just like film noir is a sort of like 00:07:24.590 --> 00:07:26.689 abstract it's just not like super complicated 00:07:26.689 --> 00:07:28.649 filmmaking I guess is how I would put it like 00:07:28.649 --> 00:07:30.709 the there's some I don't know there's like a 00:07:30.709 --> 00:07:33.649 modernization of that series and I feel like 00:07:33.649 --> 00:07:35.490 to me at least the reason I had a little bit 00:07:35.490 --> 00:07:37.069 of criticism of it it felt like the least of 00:07:37.069 --> 00:07:38.949 I just watched the first episode it felt like 00:07:38.949 --> 00:07:41.490 very like is this spider -man like I know that 00:07:41.490 --> 00:07:43.470 they mentioned spider -man kind of but it didn't 00:07:43.470 --> 00:07:45.589 really feel like spider -man because he did you 00:07:45.589 --> 00:07:51.389 know he's wearing like a trench coat yeah anyways 00:07:51.389 --> 00:07:53.529 I'm gonna continue watching I don't think I'm 00:07:53.449 --> 00:07:57.389 Mom is though. So a really good cast, by the 00:07:57.389 --> 00:08:00.889 way, Brendan Gleeson plays the the villain, the 00:08:00.889 --> 00:08:05.110 main villain in the whole thing. So again, just 00:08:05.110 --> 00:08:07.310 an episode and a half I got through some just, 00:08:07.310 --> 00:08:10.949 you know, just peeling away. And I would imagine 00:08:10.949 --> 00:08:14.730 that if this becomes a successful series that 00:08:14.730 --> 00:08:17.610 they will just keep redoing it. You know, that's 00:08:17.610 --> 00:08:19.889 the one thing they tested out for one season. 00:08:20.110 --> 00:08:22.930 And then they go, wow, did it did it really? 00:08:24.910 --> 00:08:29.750 Accelerate or did it not and if they didn't if 00:08:29.750 --> 00:08:32.149 it didn't it's kind of like where Yellowstone 00:08:32.149 --> 00:08:36.629 or Now you got Dutton ranch got the marshals 00:08:36.629 --> 00:08:38.669 got a call. Yeah, we got Brad on the phone with 00:08:38.669 --> 00:08:41.629 empty info about the mural Oh, all right. We 00:08:41.629 --> 00:08:43.929 got our buddy Brad Brad. Are you this our first 00:08:43.929 --> 00:08:46.049 call of the day? You're gonna get in on big bets 00:08:46.049 --> 00:08:49.659 later Yes, I will definitely will try if there's 00:08:49.659 --> 00:08:52.799 if I get through all right, but the Nicolas Cage 00:08:52.799 --> 00:08:56.399 mural is on When you're headed north on Willamette 00:08:56.399 --> 00:08:59.740 Street. It's way down south Kind of just north 00:08:59.740 --> 00:09:03.220 of like where market of choice is Okay, north 00:09:03.220 --> 00:09:05.100 on Willamette Street by market of choice.

Yeah shame was plug for Amazon 00:09:53.240 --> 00:09:56.259 Prime, but yeah, whatever so Brad we look forward 00:09:56.259 --> 00:09:57.799 to talking to you later on to the program Hopefully 00:09:57.799 --> 00:10:00.799 you get in bud sounds good thanks there he goes 00:10:00.799 --> 00:10:03.399 i love brad listening and giving us i like little 00:10:03.399 --> 00:10:05.320 nuggets we don't need google we got brad yeah 00:10:05.320 --> 00:10:08.159 brad we're gonna call him google brad now so 00:10:08.159 --> 00:10:09.980 by the way speaking of amazon did you see that 00:10:09.980 --> 00:10:13.299 they approved that big distribution center i 00:10:13.299 --> 00:10:16.059 did not uh near the airport it's like 300 something 00:10:16.059 --> 00:10:18.980 thousand square feet they started this like a 00:10:18.980 --> 00:10:21.230 few years ago They had the option on the land 00:10:21.230 --> 00:10:23.210 and all that. It's going to be massive. There 00:10:23.210 --> 00:10:26.029 will be some unhappy people for some of my journalism 00:10:26.029 --> 00:10:28.210 classes. We had to go to Eugene City Council 00:10:28.210 --> 00:10:30.850 and that was like the number one topic of discussion. 00:10:31.009 --> 00:10:35.330 Like people just like destroying the mayor on 00:10:35.330 --> 00:10:37.190 the fact that they would even entertain this 00:10:37.190 --> 00:10:42.269 idea. Well, I tell you what, I'm kind of ambivalent 00:10:42.269 --> 00:10:44.629 when it comes to certain things about trying 00:10:44.629 --> 00:10:47.929 to get infrastructure into the city. That would 00:10:47.929 --> 00:10:51.149 be positive if you've got good paying jobs and 00:10:51.149 --> 00:10:52.750 support the economy that way because you can't 00:10:52.750 --> 00:10:55.710 rely on tourism or the university for everything 00:10:55.710 --> 00:10:58.190 in the city and Listen, I grew up in the age 00:10:58.190 --> 00:11:00.169 where big timber was big timber. I mean there 00:11:00.169 --> 00:11:03.950 was there was counties that were getting millions 00:11:03.950 --> 00:11:07.710 of dollars from Forestry and that just dried 00:11:07.710 --> 00:11:10.769 up that whole industry just like went away and 00:11:10.769 --> 00:11:12.950 there's a few that are hanging on by the nails 00:11:12.950 --> 00:11:17.179 so I don't know enough about it to speak to it, 00:11:17.179 --> 00:11:20.820 but I understand. There is no middle ground people. 00:11:21.340 --> 00:11:24.960 I am much in the minority. It's either you're 00:11:24.960 --> 00:11:27.940 totally for it for pro -business, or you're totally 00:11:27.940 --> 00:11:29.879 against it. It's like you're getting rid of farmland. 00:11:29.960 --> 00:11:32.620 I don't know what else they would have used that 00:11:32.620 --> 00:11:35.750 site for. Than what they're gonna use it for. 00:11:35.970 --> 00:11:37.710 So again, I probably should do some more research 00:11:37.710 --> 00:11:40.070 before I talk on it But yeah, I mean I interviewed 00:11:40.070 --> 00:11:41.690 some people it's a the other thing is like it's 00:11:41.690 --> 00:11:44.129 on the wetlands So of course like they're like 00:11:44.129 --> 00:11:45.970 there's some eco stuff that won't go and then 00:11:45.970 --> 00:11:48.909 they're just like they're These like kind of 00:11:48.909 --> 00:11:51.490 these distribution centers use so much water. 00:11:51.629 --> 00:11:55.950 Yeah, there's a massive one right Past wood burn 00:11:55.950 --> 00:11:58.289 like I think it's probably in the city limits. 00:11:58.289 --> 00:12:01.019 I'm sure if the city annexed it But there's a 00:12:01.019 --> 00:12:02.919 massive one right by i5. This is supposed to 00:12:02.919 --> 00:12:05.000 be like a single story that I mean that one in 00:12:05.000 --> 00:12:07.960 in woodburn Is like it's I saw that thing go 00:12:07.960 --> 00:12:11.279 up over two and a half years. It is I can't even 00:12:11.279 --> 00:12:14.279 imagine How big that thing is on the positive 00:12:14.279 --> 00:12:17.980 side? Yes spin zone it You will get your amazon 00:12:17.980 --> 00:12:20.240 packages now the day of ordering. So listen, 00:12:20.240 --> 00:12:23.899 my mom is the queen of amazon So we always say, 00:12:24.080 --> 00:12:25.980 like, I literally took a video when we were coming 00:12:25.980 --> 00:12:28.120 back down from Malala a couple of weeks ago, 00:12:28.440 --> 00:12:31.059 and there were, like, five Amazon trucks going 00:12:31.059 --> 00:12:33.279 south on I -5, and I took a video and I sent 00:12:33.279 --> 00:12:34.779 them to my mom saying, they're all heading to 00:12:34.779 --> 00:12:37.320 your house right now. Your delivery is on its 00:12:37.320 --> 00:12:40.090 way. Because she everything's off and the older 00:12:40.090 --> 00:12:42.929 people, you know, they write to your doorstep 00:12:42.929 --> 00:12:45.590 Have you all seen the drones that drop off packages? 00:12:45.909 --> 00:12:48.309 My friend sent me a video and there was a drone 00:12:48.309 --> 00:12:50.289 like above his house and I was like what you 00:12:50.289 --> 00:12:52.590 know what you know what I go back to is Sam Waterston 00:12:52.590 --> 00:12:55.009 had a great commercial on SNL many many years 00:12:55.009 --> 00:12:57.970 ago where it was like the robots are gonna take 00:12:57.970 --> 00:13:00.289 over the world and eat your medication and he 00:13:00.289 --> 00:13:02.350 was trying to get and it was like It was like 00:13:02.350 --> 00:13:04.570 for an insurance company to protect old people 00:13:04.570 --> 00:13:06.590 against robots that they were gonna eat your 00:13:06.590 --> 00:13:09.059 medication And it was, you know, the worst commercial. 00:13:09.100 --> 00:13:11.580 It's just Saturday Night Live. But that's the 00:13:11.580 --> 00:13:13.220 first thing that pops into my head when you talk 00:13:13.220 --> 00:13:15.899 about drones and technology as robots taking 00:13:15.899 --> 00:13:18.379 over the world. So, some people say AI is going 00:13:18.379 --> 00:13:20.580 to do that. So, I don't know. All right. Man, 00:13:20.600 --> 00:13:24.559 we are way off track here. NCAA, this is the 00:13:24.559 --> 00:13:26.399 Danny and Justin radio program. Yes, we are a 00:13:26.399 --> 00:13:28.320 sports station, Fox Sports Eugene, Fox Sports 00:13:28.320 --> 00:13:29.899 Newport. But we talk about life as well. And 00:13:29.899 --> 00:13:31.360 that's why you love us. And that's why we love 00:13:31.360 --> 00:13:34.299 you. NCAA outdoor championships continue. They 00:13:34.299 --> 00:13:38.659 will go through tomorrow. So a lot of field events 00:13:38.659 --> 00:13:40.840 for the women right now So we do have some scoring 00:13:40.840 --> 00:13:42.759 organs not on the first page of the leaderboard 00:13:42.759 --> 00:13:45.539 Washington leads with 18 points Iowa State with 00:13:45.539 --> 00:13:48.419 15 Nebraska with 14 after six completed events 00:13:48.419 --> 00:13:51.279 out of 21 on the men's side Kansas State has 00:13:51.279 --> 00:13:54.639 overtaken Oregon in second place again Understand 00:13:54.639 --> 00:13:57.919 that a lot of these are field events So it's 00:13:57.919 --> 00:14:00.100 maybe not necessarily where the strength of Oregon 00:14:00.100 --> 00:14:02.720 lies. Although Oregon does have a national champion 00:14:02.720 --> 00:14:06.620 in best Ben Smith for the shot put. So Oregon's 00:14:06.620 --> 00:14:09.100 got 18 points. They trail Nebraska by 10, Kansas 00:14:09.100 --> 00:14:11.460 State by two and third place. Louisville's 16, 00:14:11.659 --> 00:14:14.639 Arkansas 14, seven events completed out of the 00:14:14.639 --> 00:14:17.580 21 on the men's side. They're gonna work through 00:14:17.580 --> 00:14:19.720 more of the field events, but now they're gonna 00:14:19.720 --> 00:14:22.279 get the qualifiers and some finals like the four 00:14:22.279 --> 00:14:25.200 by 100 men's relay is tonight. I know there are 00:14:25.200 --> 00:14:27.120 a lot of people that have gone to Hayward already 00:14:27.120 --> 00:14:30.000 and a lot more. I'll just say it's gonna get 00:14:30.000 --> 00:14:33.419 hot hot hot this weekend. It's gonna reach almost 00:14:33.419 --> 00:14:36.519 triple digits So if you go out sunscreen sunscreen 00:14:36.519 --> 00:14:39.559 and water water water, okay, make sure you're 00:14:39.559 --> 00:14:41.700 hydrating We don't nobody collapsing at Hayward 00:14:41.700 --> 00:14:44.820 now does being hydrate actually prevent sunburn. 00:14:44.879 --> 00:14:47.500 Is that a real thing? Not sunburn, but I mean, 00:14:47.500 --> 00:14:52.960 I heard that no, where did you hear that? Oh, 00:14:52.960 --> 00:14:55.919 and you believe everything I'm just saying I 00:14:55.919 --> 00:14:57.559 wonder if there was some truth to that and if 00:14:57.559 --> 00:15:00.500 you guys have the man I have no clue I've never 00:15:00.500 --> 00:15:02.440 heard that before to me It's just you know you're 00:15:02.440 --> 00:15:04.480 sweating and you want to make sure that you you 00:15:04.480 --> 00:15:06.259 stay hydrated that way cuz your body will deplete 00:15:06.259 --> 00:15:09.120 it fast So definitely saying hydrate is good 00:15:09.120 --> 00:15:11.840 and water is the best thing do we want to hold 00:15:11.840 --> 00:15:15.279 off on? Brendan Sorsby till the last or you want 00:15:15.279 --> 00:15:17.559 to talk about it now? because there's more news 00:15:17.559 --> 00:15:19.840 coming out on this whole this saga is getting 00:15:19.840 --> 00:15:23.679 really ridiculous and and texas tex administration 00:15:23.679 --> 00:15:27.820 is like they are taking like a a huge barn fan 00:15:27.820 --> 00:15:31.100 to the fire and whipping the flames up which 00:15:31.100 --> 00:15:34.840 i think whoever's advising them needs to shut 00:15:34.840 --> 00:15:37.860 the you know what up because it's it's starting 00:15:37.860 --> 00:15:41.139 to get almost to the point of just Comical well 00:15:41.139 --> 00:15:43.360 what I was saying to you before the show is that 00:15:43.360 --> 00:15:46.120 this seems like the most American thing you can 00:15:46.120 --> 00:15:48.720 possibly think of is that College football which 00:15:48.720 --> 00:15:51.600 is culturally so important to the United States 00:15:51.600 --> 00:15:54.960 is being taken to this Extremely political level 00:15:54.960 --> 00:15:57.000 where you have these attorney generals getting 00:15:57.000 --> 00:15:59.620 involved and getting in a contest that you mentioned 00:15:59.620 --> 00:16:03.620 it is just Ridiculous, I mean it's absolutely 00:16:03.620 --> 00:16:06.700 insane it shows exactly what the United States 00:16:06.700 --> 00:16:10.289 cares about quite honestly While you're a Texan, 00:16:10.649 --> 00:16:13.590 Hawk, so what's your take on all this? Is Texas 00:16:13.590 --> 00:16:15.529 Tech just fine that they should be defending 00:16:15.529 --> 00:16:18.850 Brendan Sorsby for basically breaking one of 00:16:18.850 --> 00:16:22.710 the biggest rules you can as a college athlete 00:16:22.710 --> 00:16:25.549 by betting on his own team? Well, I mean, I think 00:16:25.549 --> 00:16:28.110 we all agree. I think the principle of it's bad, 00:16:28.289 --> 00:16:30.509 and I think the fact they're letting him play 00:16:30.509 --> 00:16:32.649 is insane. I will say this, though. I grew up 00:16:32.649 --> 00:16:34.830 in a Longhorn household. A lot of my family went 00:16:34.830 --> 00:16:38.909 there. I despised Tech growing up. but why why 00:16:38.909 --> 00:16:41.950 do you even so here's the I I appreciate that 00:16:41.950 --> 00:16:45.029 argument the Danny Justin radio program we are 00:16:45.029 --> 00:16:47.830 live Fox Sports Eugene Fox Sports Newport Bigfoot 00:16:47.830 --> 00:16:49.610 Beverages Studio Travis Demers the mayor of Rip 00:16:49.610 --> 00:16:51.570 City we're going to talk a lot of NBA finals 00:16:51.570 --> 00:16:54.070 in the next segment with the mayor of Rip City 00:16:54.070 --> 00:16:56.049 we'll squeeze some blazer stuff in there as well 00:16:56.049 --> 00:16:58.309 in the off season so stay tuned for that in about 00:16:58.309 --> 00:17:00.690 five minutes from now but let's just take the 00:17:00.690 --> 00:17:03.789 whole the whole I don't like the school type 00:17:03.789 --> 00:17:06.839 of thing because where I'm at in in Texas to 00:17:06.839 --> 00:17:11.220 the bigger picture, which I think is now getting 00:17:11.220 --> 00:17:14.579 lost in all of this. It is becoming this, well, 00:17:14.740 --> 00:17:17.799 now we've got the Texas AG throwing the first, 00:17:17.799 --> 00:17:21.099 you know, kind of gauntlet out to say, you know 00:17:21.099 --> 00:17:24.900 what, Big 12, if you sanction Texas Tech, which, 00:17:25.119 --> 00:17:29.130 by the way, they can, Then there's gonna be some 00:17:29.130 --> 00:17:31.029 repercussions. We're gonna sue you for 200 million 00:17:31.029 --> 00:17:33.029 dollars How do you like them apples and now the 00:17:33.029 --> 00:17:36.910 Oklahoma AG comes in and says big 12 should should 00:17:36.910 --> 00:17:40.029 absolutely sanction Texas Tech and Texas has 00:17:40.029 --> 00:17:42.369 no authority to step in and do anything on the 00:17:42.369 --> 00:17:44.670 behalf of anybody in this whole deal Well, and 00:17:44.670 --> 00:17:46.589 like you were also saying to be before the show 00:17:46.589 --> 00:17:49.170 is that they can't do it with monetary sanctions 00:17:49.170 --> 00:17:50.869 because quite honestly, it's not going to help 00:17:50.869 --> 00:17:52.690 anything. And what they care about is winning. 00:17:52.910 --> 00:17:56.029 They'll make however much a five hundred thousand 00:17:56.029 --> 00:17:58.490 dollar fine would be in a playoff game. Like 00:17:58.490 --> 00:18:00.210 they'll make that money back. So ultimately they 00:18:00.210 --> 00:18:02.309 have to hit him where it hurts, which is in the 00:18:02.309 --> 00:18:05.730 W's column. But, Dom, your argument kind of moves 00:18:05.730 --> 00:18:09.630 it towards. A rivalry rather than the action 00:18:09.630 --> 00:18:11.470 itself. Well, yeah, no. No, I think the action 00:18:11.470 --> 00:18:13.609 itself is bad I'll like Justin saying I think 00:18:13.609 --> 00:18:16.869 there's so much money involved or it's like I 00:18:16.869 --> 00:18:18.450 Think I think of the day. I think it all just 00:18:18.450 --> 00:18:20.089 comes down to money like they paid him all this 00:18:20.089 --> 00:18:22.349 money They have this roster. They want to win. 00:18:22.809 --> 00:18:24.829 Absolutely amount of money They'll make going 00:18:24.829 --> 00:18:26.769 to the playoff put the TV deals and all that 00:18:26.769 --> 00:18:29.609 stuff. It's like That's where I think it all 00:18:29.609 --> 00:18:31.450 comes into play. They made it to the national 00:18:31.450 --> 00:18:33.450 quarterfinals last year. They needed to replace 00:18:33.450 --> 00:18:35.809 a quarterback. They went all in on Brendan Soresby. 00:18:35.849 --> 00:18:37.890 They paid him a bunch of money for a guy that 00:18:37.890 --> 00:18:39.710 really hasn't started a whole ton of games, by 00:18:39.710 --> 00:18:41.009 the way. Let's just put it that way. I don't 00:18:41.009 --> 00:18:43.049 know if they're getting their value out of it, 00:18:43.170 --> 00:18:45.430 no matter what. But to me, the bigger argument 00:18:45.430 --> 00:18:50.410 is that as the Big 12, you cannot, you should 00:18:50.410 --> 00:18:55.599 not, and... To me it will it will totally dilute 00:18:55.599 --> 00:19:00.799 their argument if all they do is Say to Texas 00:19:00.799 --> 00:19:03.980 Tech you have to write us a check Yeah, because 00:19:03.980 --> 00:19:07.759 that is like that is there's gonna be 20 people 00:19:07.759 --> 00:19:10.460 who support Texas Tech that will stand up and 00:19:10.460 --> 00:19:12.400 write that check Gladly if this whole thing gets 00:19:12.400 --> 00:19:15.779 put behind them I do think he because he I I 00:19:15.779 --> 00:19:18.220 believe it was a good came down to tech or LSU 00:19:18.220 --> 00:19:21.670 where the two the schools in the running Wholeheartedly 00:19:21.670 --> 00:19:23.849 believe if this happened at LSU, they would be 00:19:23.849 --> 00:19:26.710 doing the exact same thing there Well sure and 00:19:26.710 --> 00:19:29.910 you'd have Alabama and so it's like but then 00:19:29.910 --> 00:19:32.269 George and everybody else It's like is it a tech 00:19:32.269 --> 00:19:34.190 thing or is it just they are the first school 00:19:34.190 --> 00:19:36.349 to be put in this in the limelight in this position? 00:19:36.630 --> 00:19:39.089 Because I think an SEC school would defend the 00:19:39.089 --> 00:19:41.230 same way tech is well Let's not forget the Louisiana 00:19:41.230 --> 00:19:44.470 governor got involved with the hiring of LSU's 00:19:44.470 --> 00:19:48.390 head coach, right? Yeah, again more worried about 00:19:48.390 --> 00:19:52.490 math and writing in his schools and social services 00:19:52.490 --> 00:19:55.589 in his state rather than who's coaching in battle 00:19:55.589 --> 00:19:58.869 and rouge. So I think it's fair to say that this 00:19:58.869 --> 00:20:00.650 would be happening in other places as well. And 00:20:00.650 --> 00:20:03.690 this is well, it's not a unique situation in 00:20:03.690 --> 00:20:05.990 terms of just Texas Tech. I do think that there's 00:20:05.990 --> 00:20:07.829 other schools that would be willing to do this. 00:20:07.950 --> 00:20:10.529 But this win all attitude that's now been doing 00:20:10.529 --> 00:20:13.829 anything to wide is to me, it's like I and you 00:20:13.829 --> 00:20:16.430 know me, I rarely get on social media and say 00:20:16.430 --> 00:20:20.130 anything about any. subject, because I kind of 00:20:20.130 --> 00:20:22.269 like watching the rabble rousing go on and stay 00:20:22.269 --> 00:20:24.450 above it. But I threw it out there, and I just 00:20:24.450 --> 00:20:27.289 asked the question, was there nobody at Texas 00:20:27.289 --> 00:20:29.410 Tech that sat down with Brendan Sorsby before 00:20:29.410 --> 00:20:31.890 they signed him to this huge NIL deal and brought 00:20:31.890 --> 00:20:35.150 him over that would sit in a room and go, is 00:20:35.150 --> 00:20:37.210 there anything in your background we should know 00:20:37.210 --> 00:20:39.710 about that could come out after you come here 00:20:39.710 --> 00:20:42.109 that would potentially damage your reputation 00:20:42.109 --> 00:20:46.369 or the university's? Yes or no? That is a question. 00:20:46.470 --> 00:20:49.130 That's a question you ask an employee. That's 00:20:49.130 --> 00:20:51.990 that's something that you're allowed to ask somebody 00:20:51.990 --> 00:20:56.049 in this situation and Then my next question if 00:20:56.049 --> 00:20:58.609 I asked as test Texas Tech official that and 00:20:58.609 --> 00:21:01.509 they go well No, then I would go why not well 00:21:01.509 --> 00:21:04.750 And I would guess is that the relationship between 00:21:04.750 --> 00:21:08.099 the players in these schools? Not an evening 00:21:08.099 --> 00:21:10.240 playing field they're not gonna want to ask him 00:21:10.240 --> 00:21:11.720 questions like that because they want him to 00:21:11.720 --> 00:21:13.859 come to the school Because he's got options he 00:21:13.859 --> 00:21:15.980 was the number one guy in the portal wasn't he 00:21:15.980 --> 00:21:18.200 yeah? Yeah, so he had an opportunity to go wherever 00:21:18.200 --> 00:21:21.049 and yes, he could have gotten more money at Texas 00:21:21.049 --> 00:21:23.190 Tech than other places. But at the same time, 00:21:23.269 --> 00:21:25.430 I think that the attitude from these schools 00:21:25.430 --> 00:21:27.410 is not going to be like, let's find a way to 00:21:27.410 --> 00:21:30.069 like tear them down before we get there. I just 00:21:30.069 --> 00:21:31.269 think that they're not going to ask questions 00:21:31.269 --> 00:21:32.990 like that because they want the players to like 00:21:32.990 --> 00:21:34.309 them and they want to they're like recruiting 00:21:34.309 --> 00:21:37.569 them. Yeah, that that ignorant deniability is 00:21:37.569 --> 00:21:40.730 goes to the core of the adults in the room. You're 00:21:40.730 --> 00:21:42.829 not wrong. You should ask the question. You have 00:21:42.829 --> 00:21:45.390 to ask that. If you're gonna, and I don't know, 00:21:45.490 --> 00:21:47.069 they said his deal was like five million dollars 00:21:47.069 --> 00:21:49.210 or something like that. If you're gonna write 00:21:49.210 --> 00:21:51.829 that check to a kid who's less than 25 years 00:21:51.829 --> 00:21:54.470 old, you absolutely have to ask that question. 00:21:54.950 --> 00:21:57.710 You absolutely, you are being fiscally irresponsible 00:21:57.710 --> 00:21:59.710 if you're not asking that question. And now, 00:21:59.910 --> 00:22:03.289 the maelstrom, honestly, I wish the kid will 00:22:03.289 --> 00:22:04.789 get the rest of the help he needs and he goes 00:22:04.789 --> 00:22:08.769 on, just go to the NFL now. Go to the NFL, that 00:22:08.769 --> 00:22:12.359 is your next stop. Brendan Soarsby. Now want 00:22:12.359 --> 00:22:15.480 this whole thing just to go away as well Because 00:22:15.480 --> 00:22:18.319 it's gonna be this cloud over college football. 00:22:18.619 --> 00:22:21.460 I mean we can relate to work itself out Do you 00:22:21.460 --> 00:22:23.400 think tech was just like ignorance is bliss? 00:22:24.059 --> 00:22:26.700 No, I think they okay you want my opinion without 00:22:26.700 --> 00:22:28.920 any basis in fact I think they absolutely knew 00:22:28.920 --> 00:22:31.180 that this was a skeleton in his closet and they 00:22:31.180 --> 00:22:35.559 said we don't care Because we need to win and 00:22:35.559 --> 00:22:37.579 that's tech that's tech for you as grown up as 00:22:37.579 --> 00:22:40.299 a Texan. That's tech. Okay, mr. Longhorn back 00:22:40.299 --> 00:22:43.220 with Travis Demers, the mayor of Rip City. Hey, 00:22:43.279 --> 00:22:45.000 let's talk about basketball. Another favorite 00:22:45.000 --> 00:22:47.619 subject of Hawk as the Spurs are down 3 -1 to 00:22:47.619 --> 00:22:50.380 the Knicks. Can New York finish it off on the 00:22:50.380 --> 00:22:53.019 road Saturday? We'll talk to the mayor next on 00:22:53.019 --> 00:22:56.019 the Danny and Justin radio program. Mitch Canham 00:22:56.019 --> 00:23:00.210 and Oregon State have signed the Mid -American 00:23:00.210 --> 00:23:02.930 Conference freshman of the year. Miami Redhawks 00:23:02.930 --> 00:23:05.109 second baseman Diego Cruz left -handed batter 00:23:05.109 --> 00:23:06.569 announces commitment to Oregon State through 00:23:06.569 --> 00:23:09.289 the portal.

Title 00:23:26.679 --> 00:23:29.380 so some signings in the portal big bets coming 00:23:29.380 --> 00:23:31.740 up in the last segment Let's head on over to 00:23:31.740 --> 00:23:33.359 the Oregon man clinics hotline at three four 00:23:33.359 --> 00:23:35.480 three five six seven three and welcome in a good 00:23:35.480 --> 00:23:36.920 friend We haven't spoken in for a little while, 00:23:36.920 --> 00:23:39.700 but we promised we'd bring them back in While 00:23:39.700 --> 00:23:42.619 the NBA finals were going on and so we are men 00:23:42.619 --> 00:23:45.960 of our word We are men of honor here on the Danny 00:23:45.960 --> 00:23:48.059 and Justin radio program here is your mayor of 00:23:48.059 --> 00:23:49.559 Rip City Travis Demers You can follow him on 00:23:49.559 --> 00:23:53.140 the socials at Travis Demers a huge New York 00:23:53.140 --> 00:23:58.170 Knicks fan. He has been very Open about his fandom. 00:23:58.470 --> 00:24:02.549 So Travis is there apprehension anxiety? Because 00:24:02.549 --> 00:24:04.490 I mean you're in the catbird seat with your team 00:24:04.490 --> 00:24:07.029 up three one So even if they lose a game they 00:24:07.029 --> 00:24:11.069 get to go back to the MSG Well, look, I do need 00:24:11.069 --> 00:24:13.029 to clarify something though, because I do work 00:24:13.029 --> 00:24:16.869 for another team in the same league Yes, of course 00:24:16.869 --> 00:24:20.730 my my fandom is is unique right because my my 00:24:20.730 --> 00:24:24.299 roots are being a Knicks fan growing up in New 00:24:24.299 --> 00:24:27.779 York and loving that team. That team is why I 00:24:27.779 --> 00:24:31.200 love basketball. Reggie Miller broke my heart. 00:24:31.339 --> 00:24:34.279 We hugged it out. We're good there. And now that 00:24:34.279 --> 00:24:38.920 I work for the Trailblazers, there are... When 00:24:38.920 --> 00:24:42.000 our season is over. Yeah, as soon as the blazer 00:24:42.000 --> 00:24:43.880 season is over. I become a Knicks fan again like 00:24:43.880 --> 00:24:47.079 when I was 12 But that's what I meant. So the 00:24:47.079 --> 00:24:48.839 Knicks like I don't even think about it. I'm 00:24:48.839 --> 00:24:51.339 blazers all the way A lot of my friends back 00:24:51.339 --> 00:24:53.380 in New York are still Knicks fans and a couple 00:24:53.380 --> 00:24:55.839 years ago when Mikel Bridges hit a game -winner 00:24:55.839 --> 00:24:58.559 in overtime at the buzzer to beat the Blazers 00:24:58.859 --> 00:25:00.559 My buddy texted me, he's like, dude, you just 00:25:00.559 --> 00:25:02.039 called the Knicks game winner, and that's how 00:25:02.039 --> 00:25:04.039 you sounded. I'm like, yeah, because I work for 00:25:04.039 --> 00:25:08.440 the Blazers. So as much as I am a Knicks fan 00:25:08.440 --> 00:25:13.460 at heart and my roots, I've been in Oregon for 00:25:13.460 --> 00:25:16.279 basically my entire adult life. So it is Blazers 00:25:16.279 --> 00:25:20.400 number one always. But in terms of being a Knicks 00:25:20.400 --> 00:25:22.519 fan, there's always going to be some of that 00:25:22.519 --> 00:25:24.819 there. And I don't know that it's apprehension. 00:25:26.200 --> 00:25:29.559 It's excitement. I feel like they are going to 00:25:29.559 --> 00:25:32.460 win. I think it would be, at this point, shocking 00:25:32.460 --> 00:25:34.839 if they lost. But it was shocking that the Spurs 00:25:34.839 --> 00:25:38.819 didn't win after being up by 29. So until they 00:25:38.819 --> 00:25:43.420 win, I'm not counting any chickens right now, 00:25:43.420 --> 00:25:47.279 because in my entire life, the last time that 00:25:47.279 --> 00:25:50.400 the Knicks won a championship, my parents weren't 00:25:50.400 --> 00:25:54.400 even married yet. So it's been a long time. So 00:25:54.400 --> 00:25:57.259 Travis, when we wind back the clock and we had 00:25:57.259 --> 00:25:59.480 a discussion before the NBA playoffs even started 00:25:59.480 --> 00:26:01.460 and we were talking about handicapping the East 00:26:01.460 --> 00:26:04.400 and the West and I know I remember the conversation 00:26:04.400 --> 00:26:08.900 very clearly. It seemed like and it was a common 00:26:08.900 --> 00:26:12.529 stance is that. people really weren't looking 00:26:12.529 --> 00:26:14.309 at New York is like, you know, that's going to 00:26:14.309 --> 00:26:15.650 be the team that's going to come out of the East. 00:26:15.970 --> 00:26:18.109 Although there are just a bunch of teams you 00:26:18.109 --> 00:26:19.390 could throw in the pot and go, you know what, 00:26:19.569 --> 00:26:21.750 any one of them could, but I think it would be 00:26:21.750 --> 00:26:23.509 fair to say the Knicks weren't like on the top 00:26:23.509 --> 00:26:27.410 of people's lists. So I have to ask in your opinion, 00:26:27.549 --> 00:26:29.630 because you're a great analyst of the game as 00:26:29.630 --> 00:26:32.349 well, where did this come from, from New York, 00:26:32.470 --> 00:26:34.150 this incredible run that they've made through 00:26:34.150 --> 00:26:39.329 the postseason? To your point. I did not think 00:26:39.329 --> 00:26:40.849 the Knicks were going to be in this position, 00:26:40.970 --> 00:26:42.730 right? I did not think the Knicks were going 00:26:42.730 --> 00:26:47.529 to be in the NBA Finals it helped that And again, 00:26:47.630 --> 00:26:49.269 no disrespect to what they've done what they 00:26:49.269 --> 00:26:51.390 know they went on a 13 game win streak It's remarkable, 00:26:51.390 --> 00:26:54.690 but they didn't have to play the top two teams 00:26:54.690 --> 00:26:57.349 in the East, you know The Cavaliers knocked off 00:26:57.349 --> 00:27:01.829 Detroit the Sixers knocked off Boston And that 00:27:01.829 --> 00:27:03.869 was helpful. I did not think the Knicks matched 00:27:03.869 --> 00:27:05.690 up very well against Detroit. I really didn't 00:27:05.690 --> 00:27:07.750 think they matched up well against Atlanta. And 00:27:07.750 --> 00:27:09.349 they were down two games to one in that series. 00:27:09.910 --> 00:27:11.750 And the way they played down the stretch of the 00:27:11.750 --> 00:27:14.490 season, there was just something missing. They 00:27:14.490 --> 00:27:17.069 weren't playing great. And OK, you know that 00:27:17.069 --> 00:27:20.569 Jalen Brunson can be Jalen Brunson. But if he 00:27:20.569 --> 00:27:22.970 is going to do it all himself, this team is not 00:27:22.970 --> 00:27:24.789 going to win. The defense wasn't good enough. 00:27:24.910 --> 00:27:27.509 And really, the defense was not great at times 00:27:27.509 --> 00:27:29.319 in the first three rounds of the playoffs. But 00:27:29.319 --> 00:27:32.740 they were scoring at an insanely high rate. I 00:27:32.740 --> 00:27:35.619 mean, the way their offense was playing, nobody 00:27:35.619 --> 00:27:38.059 was going to beat them. So I think you have all 00:27:38.059 --> 00:27:40.559 of those things coming together. And then, you 00:27:40.559 --> 00:27:42.759 know, Mike Brown pushing the right buttons and 00:27:42.759 --> 00:27:44.880 guys just coming up with with championship plays. 00:27:44.960 --> 00:27:46.660 They look like a team of destiny. You look down 00:27:46.660 --> 00:27:48.680 the stretch of, you know, the fourth quarter 00:27:48.680 --> 00:27:52.700 and Jose Alvarado, who is a Brooklyn native and 00:27:52.700 --> 00:27:55.700 loves New York, was on the floor for the Knicks 00:27:55.700 --> 00:27:59.630 while Mikkel Bridges was on the bench. And it 00:27:59.630 --> 00:28:01.609 wasn't because Mikael Bridges wasn't playing 00:28:01.609 --> 00:28:03.089 well or didn't deserve to be out there. It was 00:28:03.089 --> 00:28:05.690 because the way they were playing with Alvarado 00:28:05.690 --> 00:28:08.390 on the floor, that was the right way to go. And 00:28:08.390 --> 00:28:11.210 he was fantastic. So Mike Brown pushing the right 00:28:11.210 --> 00:28:13.910 buttons. And guys just playing for each other 00:28:13.910 --> 00:28:17.710 and making the right plays. So to me, I look 00:28:17.710 --> 00:28:20.789 at this team now as opposed to two months ago. 00:28:21.869 --> 00:28:24.589 And there is no way I would have thought they 00:28:24.589 --> 00:28:26.960 were going to be in this position. Think one 00:28:26.960 --> 00:28:28.900 of the fascinating things and I'm gonna turn 00:28:28.900 --> 00:28:31.160 our attention to the Spurs and I think you can 00:28:31.160 --> 00:28:33.680 give some insight on this is the Dylan Harper 00:28:33.680 --> 00:28:36.460 and Darren Fox I wouldn't call it like a situation 00:28:36.460 --> 00:28:39.380 but Darren Fox is the veteran on this team relatively 00:28:39.380 --> 00:28:41.660 speaking I guess to the other guys not in terms 00:28:41.660 --> 00:28:43.180 of the experience in the playoffs necessarily, 00:28:43.200 --> 00:28:46.700 but he's the guy that Mitch Johnson has clearly 00:28:46.700 --> 00:28:49.259 turned to down the stretch over and over again 00:28:49.259 --> 00:28:50.940 I think there was a lot of people that are critical 00:28:50.940 --> 00:28:52.640 about the way the Darren Fox played while Dylan 00:28:52.640 --> 00:28:56.049 Harper Who's a rookie? I think he's what 20 years 00:28:56.049 --> 00:28:59.430 old dumb Yes, he's 20 20 years old. So he's a 00:28:59.430 --> 00:29:01.369 guy that just doesn't have the experience. It's 00:29:01.369 --> 00:29:04.869 it's hard to See a team trusting a guy like that 00:29:04.869 --> 00:29:08.109 in the NBA finals in its first season But you've 00:29:08.109 --> 00:29:11.009 been around NBA players before you've seen it 00:29:11.009 --> 00:29:13.289 more than the average person would in terms of 00:29:13.289 --> 00:29:16.380 these relationships What could you guess? the 00:29:16.380 --> 00:29:18.200 sort of thinking and the relationships behind 00:29:18.200 --> 00:29:21.039 Mitch Johnson Darren Fox and Dylan Harper with 00:29:21.039 --> 00:29:23.019 kind of who's going to be that go -to strip guys 00:29:23.019 --> 00:29:24.539 down the stretch because I think that anybody 00:29:24.539 --> 00:29:27.660 watching the game would sit there and go I'm 00:29:27.660 --> 00:29:29.279 sorry obviously whammy, but whammy hasn't been 00:29:29.279 --> 00:29:31.559 playing like that. It's been It's been Dylan 00:29:31.559 --> 00:29:33.339 Harper. It's been Stefan Castle, but what do 00:29:33.339 --> 00:29:37.380 you think that sort of dynamic is like? Yeah, 00:29:37.380 --> 00:29:41.170 it's It's interesting, because you look at what 00:29:41.170 --> 00:29:45.269 Dylan Harper has been doing in the finals, right? 00:29:45.869 --> 00:29:49.289 And he's still playing 31 minutes a night. It's 00:29:49.289 --> 00:29:52.529 not like he's not playing. He's playing 31 minutes 00:29:52.529 --> 00:29:57.309 a night. He's averaging like 16 and 7. The efficiency 00:29:57.309 --> 00:29:59.789 is there. He's not a great three -point shooter, 00:29:59.789 --> 00:30:03.470 but he's finishing at the rim. So he's played 00:30:03.470 --> 00:30:06.009 well. The Aaron Fox hasn't played well. And I 00:30:06.009 --> 00:30:08.569 don't think this is... This doesn't to me come 00:30:08.569 --> 00:30:10.690 down to De 'Aaron Fox down the stretch of the 00:30:10.690 --> 00:30:13.130 game versus Dylan Harper. Fox made some mistakes, 00:30:13.569 --> 00:30:16.069 right? A one -point game in the final few seconds, 00:30:16.509 --> 00:30:18.609 you've got the ball in the open court and you 00:30:18.609 --> 00:30:20.849 race to the basket. Okay, it got blocked, but 00:30:20.849 --> 00:30:23.089 even if it didn't, even if it went in, and an 00:30:23.089 --> 00:30:25.730 OB fouls him and he makes both free throws, it's 00:30:25.730 --> 00:30:27.849 still a one -possession game and the Knicks have 00:30:27.849 --> 00:30:30.769 a timeout with whatever it was, however many 00:30:30.769 --> 00:30:34.240 seconds it was. Eight or something. one one shot 00:30:34.240 --> 00:30:36.400 and now you're going over time it wasn't a smart 00:30:36.400 --> 00:30:39.539 basketball play uh... and he's had a few of those 00:30:39.539 --> 00:30:41.920 it's interesting because i thought clip a few 00:30:41.920 --> 00:30:44.539 days ago i guess it was yesterday it feels like 00:30:44.539 --> 00:30:47.559 a few days ago of uh... mike brown at the postgame 00:30:47.559 --> 00:30:49.319 press conference he was the coach of the kings 00:30:49.319 --> 00:30:52.400 and dearon fox was playing for him talking about 00:30:52.400 --> 00:30:54.759 a play that fox screwed up at the end of the 00:30:54.759 --> 00:30:56.900 game and he said yeah i didn't see it but you 00:30:56.900 --> 00:30:58.500 know you can't uh... i gotta go back and watch 00:30:58.500 --> 00:31:00.160 it on film but that that's something that can't 00:31:00.160 --> 00:31:02.519 happen down the stretch of the game Mike Brown 00:31:02.519 --> 00:31:06.319 knows who the Aaron Fox is, and he's a good player. 00:31:06.880 --> 00:31:09.359 And when he was with Sacramento, he averaged 00:31:09.359 --> 00:31:11.759 30 -plus in that one playoff series and was great 00:31:11.759 --> 00:31:14.119 against the Warriors. But he doesn't look like 00:31:14.119 --> 00:31:17.319 himself. I think there's something off with him 00:31:17.319 --> 00:31:18.799 right now, whether it's physically, mentally, 00:31:18.900 --> 00:31:22.279 whatever it is. He's not himself right now. But 00:31:22.279 --> 00:31:24.319 it's not fair to put that on him. And we've talked 00:31:24.319 --> 00:31:25.960 about this before, too. I think we talked about 00:31:25.960 --> 00:31:29.339 it after the Blazers series. At some point that... 00:31:29.069 --> 00:31:31.910 You know, Wemby played in 65 games this season, 00:31:32.130 --> 00:31:34.890 and he averaged under 30 minutes a game. He played 00:31:34.890 --> 00:31:38.130 23 minutes in the second half in game four. He's 00:31:38.130 --> 00:31:39.950 playing more minutes. He's played, you know, 00:31:40.069 --> 00:31:42.190 another three series, including a seven -game 00:31:42.190 --> 00:31:45.750 series. He looks totally cooked to me. And the 00:31:45.750 --> 00:31:47.890 Wemby that we're seeing right now, fatigue doesn't 00:31:47.890 --> 00:31:51.250 just mean physical mistakes. I think that the 00:31:51.250 --> 00:31:54.329 bad pass he had at the end of game two off of 00:31:54.329 --> 00:31:57.190 Castle's back, to me, that's a fatigue mental 00:31:57.190 --> 00:32:00.089 mistake for a 22 -year -old. And I think those 00:32:00.089 --> 00:32:02.190 are things for these guys who are not used to 00:32:02.190 --> 00:32:06.450 playing, you know, 90, 95, 100 games in the minutes 00:32:06.450 --> 00:32:08.950 volume that they are, that catches up with you 00:32:08.950 --> 00:32:10.849 at some point. And I think it has with Wembe. 00:32:11.069 --> 00:32:13.509 I think at times it has with Fox. I think at 00:32:13.509 --> 00:32:16.109 times it has, you know, with Castle. And for 00:32:16.109 --> 00:32:18.289 the Knicks, yeah, they haven't played in the 00:32:18.289 --> 00:32:21.049 NBA finals before, but they've been to a couple 00:32:21.049 --> 00:32:23.430 of conference finals with Jalen Brunson. Carl 00:32:23.430 --> 00:32:25.210 Anthony Towns was in the conference finals last 00:32:25.210 --> 00:32:26.670 year with the Knicks and the year before that 00:32:26.670 --> 00:32:29.579 with the Timberwolves. Oh, Jan and Obi has won 00:32:29.579 --> 00:32:31.799 a championship before, although he didn't play 00:32:31.799 --> 00:32:33.839 because he was hurt. But you have all of these 00:32:33.839 --> 00:32:37.059 guys who have a longer history of playing more 00:32:37.059 --> 00:32:39.119 games in more minutes and more intense. And Mike 00:32:39.119 --> 00:32:42.000 Brown coached in an NBA finals with the Cavaliers 00:32:42.000 --> 00:32:45.160 and then was the coach for multiple champions, 00:32:45.380 --> 00:32:47.119 an assistant coach for multiple championships 00:32:47.119 --> 00:32:49.140 with the Warriors. There's just more experience 00:32:49.140 --> 00:32:51.579 there. And I think for the Spurs, their youth, 00:32:51.839 --> 00:32:54.480 their inexperience, their fatigue, I think all 00:32:54.480 --> 00:32:57.049 of that stuff is showing up right now. It's our 00:32:57.049 --> 00:32:59.650 voice of RIP City. It's the mayor of RIP City, 00:32:59.849 --> 00:33:01.910 Travis Demers. Your voice of the Portland Trail 00:33:01.910 --> 00:33:04.509 Blazers heard right here in Eugene on Fox Sports 00:33:04.509 --> 00:33:06.849 Eugene. Joining us to talk a little NBA finals. 00:33:06.849 --> 00:33:09.009 Just a couple more questions for you, Travis, 00:33:09.029 --> 00:33:12.150 as you get ready for the 24 hour wait before 00:33:12.150 --> 00:33:16.509 game number five down in San Antonio. And you 00:33:16.509 --> 00:33:18.670 kind of touched on it, but I do want to expand 00:33:18.670 --> 00:33:21.190 on a little bit more with you is the constriction 00:33:21.190 --> 00:33:24.390 that seems to happen with San Antonio, especially 00:33:24.390 --> 00:33:27.569 because they are relative. and I think people 00:33:27.569 --> 00:33:30.549 are maybe looking over that a bit, is that the 00:33:30.549 --> 00:33:32.849 Spurs are a little bit ahead of schedule. Now, 00:33:32.849 --> 00:33:36.089 obviously, they've got one of the marquee players 00:33:36.089 --> 00:33:38.670 in the league with Wemby, but then the cast of 00:33:38.670 --> 00:33:40.329 characters around, and I want to center more 00:33:40.329 --> 00:33:42.569 on the coaching, because it seems like Mike Brown 00:33:42.569 --> 00:33:45.910 is playing chess, and I know the analogy is not 00:33:45.910 --> 00:33:47.670 going to be great, but Mitch Johnson sometimes 00:33:47.670 --> 00:33:49.730 seems to be playing checkers, and the way that 00:33:49.730 --> 00:33:52.430 they've managed their lineups, and especially 00:33:52.430 --> 00:33:55.130 late in the game, I mean, you can say a 29 -point... 00:33:55.079 --> 00:33:57.279 is like, you know, the Knicks fought back, but 00:33:57.279 --> 00:33:59.680 you lose that game as much as the other team 00:33:59.680 --> 00:34:02.279 wins it. So speak to that a bit and the comparison 00:34:02.279 --> 00:34:04.500 between the coaches and what impact that's had 00:34:04.500 --> 00:34:08.519 on this series. I think it's natural when you 00:34:08.519 --> 00:34:10.739 have such a large lead like that to take your 00:34:10.739 --> 00:34:14.000 foot off the gas. I've seen it many times over 00:34:14.000 --> 00:34:15.880 the last eight years with the Blazers, whether 00:34:15.880 --> 00:34:17.780 it be on one side or the other. I've seen them 00:34:17.780 --> 00:34:20.780 have big comeback wins and I've seen them have 00:34:20.780 --> 00:34:23.949 a lot of... Leads that that they've blown and 00:34:23.949 --> 00:34:26.730 it's just that's what happens and and you know 00:34:26.730 --> 00:34:29.650 some teams do that the elite of the elite of 00:34:29.650 --> 00:34:34.650 the elite don't and The Spurs aren't that right 00:34:34.650 --> 00:34:37.909 now, and that's okay because to your point. They 00:34:37.909 --> 00:34:42.230 are a young team You know Wemby Castle Harper 00:34:42.230 --> 00:34:44.449 those guys are all super young and you look at 00:34:44.449 --> 00:34:49.489 the other guys around there You know they they're 00:34:49.489 --> 00:34:51.619 role players Right? So I'm not saying they're 00:34:51.619 --> 00:34:53.860 interchangeable. You have to have some of those 00:34:53.860 --> 00:34:57.500 guys. Kelvin Johnson's been bad in the postseason. 00:34:57.800 --> 00:35:00.000 He has not been good, not just in this series, 00:35:00.019 --> 00:35:02.460 but he has not had a great postseason. He had 00:35:02.460 --> 00:35:06.420 a great regular season, but, you know, he has 00:35:06.420 --> 00:35:09.920 not had a great postseason. And you look at Mitch 00:35:09.920 --> 00:35:15.119 Johnson, to your point, Mitch Johnson's history 00:35:15.119 --> 00:35:18.239 as a coach, he's never been in this situation 00:35:18.239 --> 00:35:20.440 before. And it's not because he's young. Yes, 00:35:20.460 --> 00:35:23.400 he's been with the Spurs for about a decade, 00:35:23.980 --> 00:35:27.739 whether it be at the G League or here. The Spurs 00:35:27.739 --> 00:35:31.739 had not made the playoffs in any year that Mitch 00:35:31.739 --> 00:35:34.119 Johnson was an assistant coach under Egg Popovich. 00:35:34.519 --> 00:35:37.539 So yes, he learned under Pop. But prior to that, 00:35:37.539 --> 00:35:39.420 he was in the G League. He was at the University 00:35:39.420 --> 00:35:42.300 of Portland. He was at Seattle University. So 00:35:42.300 --> 00:35:47.340 he has never been a participant in the NBA playoffs 00:35:47.340 --> 00:35:50.289 before. And I think that matters. So the things 00:35:50.289 --> 00:35:52.469 that we're talking about with Mike Brown, he's 00:35:52.469 --> 00:35:54.130 been through this before. I don't know how many 00:35:54.130 --> 00:35:55.949 finals he's been to as a coach, whether it be 00:35:55.949 --> 00:35:58.409 a head coach or assistant, four, five, whatever 00:35:58.409 --> 00:36:02.190 it is. One game is more than Mitch Johnson has 00:36:02.190 --> 00:36:04.409 gone through. So I think there's learning with 00:36:04.409 --> 00:36:05.929 everybody. There's learning with everything. 00:36:06.030 --> 00:36:07.750 And I don't think that means anyone's bad at 00:36:07.750 --> 00:36:09.389 what they're doing. I don't think that means 00:36:09.389 --> 00:36:12.929 anything at all like that. You look at so many 00:36:12.929 --> 00:36:16.349 teams throughout history that there's a reason 00:36:16.349 --> 00:36:19.880 why There are not young teams that consistently 00:36:19.880 --> 00:36:22.420 win championships. The Thunder last year, the 00:36:22.420 --> 00:36:25.039 Spurs being in the finals this year, it doesn't 00:36:25.039 --> 00:36:27.360 happen very often, and especially not with a 00:36:27.360 --> 00:36:30.300 young coach. The organization is one of the best, 00:36:30.380 --> 00:36:32.980 if not the best, in the NBA. There's a foundation 00:36:32.980 --> 00:36:34.880 there, there's a way they do things, and there's 00:36:34.880 --> 00:36:37.119 a reason why they're successful. But when you 00:36:37.119 --> 00:36:39.039 get in those clutch moments and you get in those 00:36:39.039 --> 00:36:42.510 situations, experience... really does make a 00:36:42.510 --> 00:36:44.190 difference. It's why I took the Pistons in the 00:36:44.190 --> 00:36:46.090 80s a couple of losses before they got there. 00:36:46.170 --> 00:36:47.789 It's why I took the Bulls a couple of losses 00:36:47.789 --> 00:36:50.469 to the Pistons to get there, and so on and so 00:36:50.469 --> 00:36:52.690 forth. So I think all of those things come with 00:36:52.690 --> 00:36:55.489 experience, and these are good experiences for 00:36:55.489 --> 00:36:57.530 the Spurs. You can't discount that. What I said 00:36:57.530 --> 00:36:59.389 about the Blazers, like, yeah, I don't want to 00:36:59.389 --> 00:37:02.170 hear about the lottery. Those playoff experiences 00:37:02.170 --> 00:37:05.469 absolutely make a massive difference, because 00:37:05.469 --> 00:37:08.170 the next time they're there, things will be different. 00:37:08.409 --> 00:37:11.090 These games have also been so close I believe 00:37:11.090 --> 00:37:13.150 all four of them the Spurs have had the lead 00:37:13.150 --> 00:37:14.909 within the final two minutes and then two of 00:37:14.909 --> 00:37:16.869 them have had the lead within the last minute 00:37:16.869 --> 00:37:19.289 of course the Knicks are up three to one and 00:37:19.289 --> 00:37:22.050 last game the Knicks Come back from a 29 point 00:37:22.050 --> 00:37:23.929 lead. So in my head it just I don't know what 00:37:23.929 --> 00:37:25.809 to make of it because they're The games have 00:37:25.809 --> 00:37:27.489 been so tight. It feels like either one of these 00:37:27.489 --> 00:37:29.469 teams could win these games. It's kind of it's 00:37:29.469 --> 00:37:32.449 pretty 50 -50 Yeah, but emotionally after that 00:37:32.449 --> 00:37:34.989 kind of loss. It's just like I I can't see the 00:37:34.989 --> 00:37:36.550 Spurs coming back But what are your thoughts? 00:37:36.630 --> 00:37:38.650 Do you think the Spurs still have a shot after 00:37:38.650 --> 00:37:40.570 that? You know because the games are so close 00:37:40.570 --> 00:37:42.250 the rosters are so close or do you think that 00:37:42.250 --> 00:37:45.849 emotional toll is gonna take? It's gonna do its 00:37:45.849 --> 00:37:48.429 job at this point. Yeah, I think at some point 00:37:48.429 --> 00:37:53.800 it catches up with you and You can overcome the 00:37:53.800 --> 00:37:56.460 emotional toll as you talk about. And I remember 00:37:56.460 --> 00:37:58.380 my first year of calling games with the Blazers, 00:37:58.659 --> 00:38:00.980 game three at Moda Center in the second round 00:38:00.980 --> 00:38:02.780 against Denver, the Blazers won that game in 00:38:02.780 --> 00:38:04.420 four overtimes, right? I know you guys remember 00:38:04.420 --> 00:38:06.460 that game. And I remember thinking, there is 00:38:06.460 --> 00:38:10.139 no way Denver comes in here on Sunday afternoon 00:38:10.139 --> 00:38:13.039 in an early game and wins game four. There's 00:38:13.039 --> 00:38:16.670 no chance. They did. And you go back to Denver, 00:38:16.809 --> 00:38:18.489 they win game five, and so on and so forth. So 00:38:18.489 --> 00:38:24.389 I think sometimes there is too much put on that 00:38:24.389 --> 00:38:27.309 emotional pull, right? But I think at the same 00:38:27.309 --> 00:38:30.929 time, when you have that with the added fatigue, 00:38:31.389 --> 00:38:33.570 I think that's when it catches up. And I think 00:38:33.570 --> 00:38:38.300 back to 1995. for a very young Orlando Magic 00:38:38.300 --> 00:38:41.920 team that was a heavy favorite to beat the fifth 00:38:41.920 --> 00:38:43.519 seeded Houston Rockets, who were the defending 00:38:43.519 --> 00:38:46.239 champions. They were at home in Orlando. We know 00:38:46.239 --> 00:38:47.940 the story. Nick Anderson missed the free throws 00:38:47.940 --> 00:38:51.739 at the end of game one. And the emotional toll 00:38:51.739 --> 00:38:54.920 combined with the youth of that team, because 00:38:54.920 --> 00:38:57.139 you had Shaquille O 'Neal in his third year. 00:38:57.519 --> 00:39:00.280 And you had Penny Hardaway in his second year. 00:39:00.280 --> 00:39:03.460 And those guys were the big keys of that team. 00:39:03.539 --> 00:39:07.280 It was a young team. And you combine the youth 00:39:07.280 --> 00:39:10.920 with the heartbreak and the exhaustion, that's 00:39:10.920 --> 00:39:12.940 when it becomes really hard to overcome. And 00:39:12.940 --> 00:39:14.980 I think it's a really tough spot for the Spurs 00:39:14.980 --> 00:39:17.539 with all of those things together to go home 00:39:17.539 --> 00:39:19.260 and win a game tomorrow night. All right, so 00:39:19.260 --> 00:39:21.219 the Knicks close it out tomorrow? Yes or no? 00:39:21.280 --> 00:39:23.219 I think they do. I think they do. All right, 00:39:23.260 --> 00:39:25.239 bud.
