if you are new here, you'll know what I'm about to say, but if you're returning, 10 00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:51,760 you already know. 11 00:00:51,760 --> 00:01:19,560 Come back and get ready to learn something. 12 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:32,080 Welcome in to the show. 13 00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:36,120 Normally, we have a pretty diversified show. 14 00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:39,000 Normally, we talk about the NFL. 15 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:40,000 We talk about the NBA. 16 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:47,840 We may even mention the WNBA, which has some great action on right now because the Aces 17 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:49,600 are playing the Sun. 18 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:50,600 The Aces are undefeated. 19 00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:51,600 They're going to win the championship. 20 00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:54,840 So if you want to make a little money in a couple of months, put all your money on the 21 00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:58,280 Aces to win the championship. 22 00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:03,240 You know, normally we discuss, we will discuss, you know, normally we discuss Jacob DeGrom 23 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:08,520 having Tommy John surgery for a torn UCL. 24 00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:12,760 You know, we may even mention the two Cleveland Browns players that got robbed at gunpoint 25 00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:14,120 at 330 in the morning. 26 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:16,400 Just got those guys into being safe. 27 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:21,560 He stole some jewelry and drove off in Greg Newsome's car. 28 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:23,760 We may even discuss Diane Williamson becoming a father. 29 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,560 If you notice the NBA, we would discuss that. 30 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:30,320 We may, normally we would talk about all those things, but none of that's important right 31 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:36,280 now because if what my prediction is correct, this is the last podcast you will get from 32 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:44,200 me before the NBA finals is decided. 33 00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:49,920 Let me double check that before I say that. 34 00:02:49,920 --> 00:02:51,920 Game six is Thursday, June 15th. 35 00:02:51,920 --> 00:02:57,280 So you'll get one more podcast from me because it ends in six. 36 00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:58,960 Now let's start off with the NBA finals. 37 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,160 Programma is going to be the main concept of this show. 38 00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,400 It's going to be one of our shorter shows. 39 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:07,080 I know you guys used to be going anywhere from 50 minutes to an hour and 15 minutes, 40 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:08,080 usually hitting about that hour mark. 41 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:12,600 It's going to be one of our shorter shows because again, we won't discuss pretty much 42 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:13,600 anything else. 43 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:17,960 We're going to discuss one or whatever else is important in my opinion at the moment. 44 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,920 Even the NHL finals, the Stanley Cup finals are going on right now. 45 00:03:20,920 --> 00:03:22,920 Shout out to Vegas Knights. 46 00:03:22,920 --> 00:03:26,840 Again, that's important right now because we're going to discuss the NBA finals. 47 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,160 That's going to be the primary topic of this show. 48 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:34,400 Of course we'll have our best for last, but the primary content of this show, of course, 49 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:37,440 we'll be discussing the NBA finals. 50 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:40,680 Game three, by the time you guys hear this, will be that night because I'm recording this 51 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:44,320 Wednesday about seven-ish local time. 52 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:48,800 By the time you guys hear this, it'll be Thursday morning. 53 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:49,800 Game three will be tonight. 54 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:54,200 If I mess up and say tonight or tomorrow night, just know whenever I record it, it's Wednesday 55 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:55,200 night. 56 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:56,200 Moving on. 57 00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:57,200 Game three tomorrow. 58 00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:58,200 Screw it. 59 00:03:58,200 --> 00:03:59,200 Game three tomorrow night. 60 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:02,480 I ain't got time to do the tonight thing. 61 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:07,560 The series is going how I predicted it would go. 62 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:15,520 I figured Miami would split and I figured they're going to split in Miami. 63 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:20,800 I feel like by the time we record this again, Denver will be up three-two looking to close 64 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:24,760 it out in Miami. 65 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:25,760 I say that because of this. 66 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:26,760 Michael Malone is a good coach. 67 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:27,760 He's not Eric Spoelstra. 68 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:30,360 He's supposed to be the best coach in the NBA right now. 69 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:34,160 He's not Eric Spoelstra. 70 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:39,360 Michael Malone is also not Joe Mazzula and Joe Mazzula, and to me, less talented Boston 71 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:41,280 team, pushed Miami to seven. 72 00:04:41,280 --> 00:04:48,680 If Tatum doesn't get hurt, who knows what happens in that game seven. 73 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:55,360 Michael Malone came out and outworked as a coach the heat, the first game. 74 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,160 Yokeage did whatever he wanted to do. 75 00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:58,160 He was a passer. 76 00:04:58,160 --> 00:04:59,160 He was a scorer. 77 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:00,160 He had a triple-double. 78 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:01,160 His math wanted to play off run. 79 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:02,640 Jamal Murray made some shots. 80 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:04,240 Michael Porter Jr. made some shots. 81 00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:05,480 Containers color-opposed made some shots. 82 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:08,440 Aaron Gordon played like a beast, etc. 83 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:11,120 Because Yokeage was allowed to spread the ball out. 84 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:15,360 Game two, Eric Spoelstra stole a play out of Steve Kerr's book. 85 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:20,840 Steve Kerr was on the Draymond Green Show, and he spoke about how when the Warriors beat 86 00:05:20,840 --> 00:05:22,440 the Nuggets, that's what they did. 87 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:24,840 They just said, okay, Yokeage, you get whatever you want. 88 00:05:24,840 --> 00:05:26,620 We can't guard you anyway. 89 00:05:26,620 --> 00:05:27,620 You get whatever you want. 90 00:05:27,620 --> 00:05:30,200 We're going to make sure that others don't eat. 91 00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:34,400 Because the Nuggets have a tendency to Yokeage watch, which when you have an all-time great 92 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:42,480 player, especially an all-time great passer, it's easy to watch that person. 93 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:44,280 We see or watch whatever action there is. 94 00:05:44,280 --> 00:05:48,360 So if you're not in the pick and roll with the one-two game with Murray or Yokeage has 95 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:51,720 the ball in the middle of the floor, you're Yokeage watching. 96 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:53,680 And you see it in history. 97 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:59,680 Magic Johnson's one of the few players ever to not really get a watcher situation. 98 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:04,120 Just go back through those NBA Finals tapes on the NBA app. 99 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,960 There's a lot of Larry Bird watching. 100 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:08,920 And the basketball wasn't sticking the way it does now. 101 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:13,920 Now there's nearly as much isolation ball, unless it got down to the post like it is 102 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,080 now for perimeter players. 103 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:17,480 But there's a lot of Jordan watching. 104 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:19,120 There's a lot of Yokeage watching. 105 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:20,880 There's a lot of Duncan watching. 106 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:22,880 There's a lot of LeBron watching. 107 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,400 There's a darn sure a lot of Kobe watching. 108 00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:26,880 There's a lot of AI watching. 109 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:28,600 There's a lot of Shaq watching. 110 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:30,680 There's a lot of Yokeage watching. 111 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:32,400 There's a lot of LeBron watching. 112 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,960 Still the Bucks are falling to Yonah's watching. 113 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:38,160 I've seen the Warriors, they move the ball. 114 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:39,720 And Steph hits a couple threes. 115 00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:40,720 Now they're watching Steph. 116 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:44,040 You know, and it's hard when you have these generational players, especially like I said, 117 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:49,320 gifted passers to not just watch these guys do their thing and then get ready for the 118 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:51,200 shot. 119 00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:55,320 So in game one, that strategy worked because there were two manning. 120 00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:58,080 The players were moving. 121 00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:01,320 The Heat couldn't really lock in or anything. 122 00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:03,200 Shots are running in from everywhere. 123 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:04,200 It was hard to defend. 124 00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:06,720 Nuggets walked through them. 125 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:11,560 In game two, they said, okay, Yokeage, we don't have anybody to guard you. 126 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,680 To be honest, there's nobody else in the league to guard you. 127 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:17,080 Not to guard you in terms of keep you 20 points. 128 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:19,200 You know, like it's just not possible. 129 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:22,160 You shoot, you dribble, you floater, you post hook. 130 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:23,160 Like it's not possible. 131 00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:24,160 Right? 132 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:25,440 So get whatever you want. 133 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:26,440 Go get 40. 134 00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:27,440 Great. 135 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:31,400 You're going to get 10 and 12 rebounds because you're a seven foot wall. 136 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:32,400 Great. 137 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:34,520 We're going to keep that assist number low. 138 00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:38,120 We're going to make sure Michael Porter Jr. is in the corner stuck pressed. 139 00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:41,280 We're going to make sure Kiteva Carter-Pope is stuck in the corner pressed. 140 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:44,040 Whenever Jamal Marius is the screener, we're going to ice the screener. 141 00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:48,800 You know, we're going to just do things to make sure we're going to X cover behind it. 142 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:53,800 We're going to do things to make sure that that pass isn't an option for you. 143 00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:56,400 So if you shoot it, go for it. 144 00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:59,000 So we're going to make sure that pass isn't an option for you because you come off the 145 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:03,360 floor and Kiteva Carter-Pope hadn't shot in four minutes and Michael Porter Jr. hadn't 146 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:05,800 shot a real good, a good shot in three or four minutes. 147 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,760 He's going to shoot him, but it's a good shot in three or four minutes. 148 00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:13,480 Jamal Murray hadn't shot in four or five minutes and you're off the floor and now they have 149 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:16,120 to all shoot it with a cold out of rhythm. 150 00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:20,840 And Steve Krackensack, Steve Krackensack walked by that on the Dreadmauw and Green show. 151 00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:21,840 That's the Warriors did. 152 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:22,840 Like do you, bro. 153 00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:25,120 We're going to make sure the rest of the building don't get off. 154 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:29,680 Now it was easier when the Warriors did it because Jamal Murray was hurt. 155 00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:35,040 So that wasn't really a second ball handler because Michael Porter Jr. or play initiator 156 00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:40,920 because Michael Porter Jr. is going to initiate no one's plays but his own. 157 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:44,520 And I love Michael Porter Jr. because he's very unapologetic about the fact that he's 158 00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:46,840 initiating nobody else's plays but his own. 159 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:47,840 I love it. 160 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:48,840 He's averaging one assistant game. 161 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:51,000 I think he has like 80 some odd because this is his career. 162 00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,400 I think he has 80 assists this season. 163 00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:55,040 There's a photo going around. 164 00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:58,160 He's like pulling up over three Miami Heat players and Yoke and Jamal Murray both under 165 00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:00,160 the goal with their hands out. 166 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:01,160 And he pulled up. 167 00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:02,160 It's just who he is. 168 00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:03,160 He's a scorer. 169 00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:04,760 He's been a scorer since he was in high school. 170 00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:06,840 I love his high school film. 171 00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:10,600 One of the greatest high school films I've ever seen in my life. 172 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:12,400 I thought he was a no doubt. 173 00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:14,440 I called him baby KD. 174 00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:20,560 It's like it was, it was no doubt what in my mind he was 25 to 30 points a game. 175 00:09:20,560 --> 00:09:23,880 One of the better players in the NBA because he was 6'10 in all the tools. 176 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:28,120 Back surgeries have kind of robbed that being with Yoke and Jamal Murray has kind of taken 177 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:29,120 that away. 178 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:31,880 But I'm like, if he ever went to his own, I should say that. 179 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:37,880 Let's say like Detroit calls and offers a 20-27 first from Michael Porter Jr. and they 180 00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:39,560 take Michael Porter Jr. 181 00:09:39,560 --> 00:09:43,320 He's going to average 25-26 points a game on Detroit because he's going to be one of 182 00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:45,520 those who else is going to shoot. 183 00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:48,520 He's going to get 20-20, he's going to get 25-26 points a game. 184 00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:54,000 But he's still that level of scorer, right? 185 00:09:54,000 --> 00:10:03,680 And so when you get to that level that he's at, but he's not a passer, he's a scorer, 186 00:10:03,680 --> 00:10:04,680 right? 187 00:10:04,680 --> 00:10:07,680 And so with Jamal Murray out last year, it was easy for Steve Kerr and Jermon Green to 188 00:10:07,680 --> 00:10:12,040 really hone in on Yoke and say, hey, KCP is not going to get that jumper. 189 00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:13,720 Michael Porter Jr. is not getting that jumper. 190 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:18,840 We're going to body and bully up Aaron Gordon. 191 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:22,680 Kompazo is not going to get that open straight ahead jumper. 192 00:10:22,680 --> 00:10:26,760 We're going to make sure that these Austin Rivers on that team, Austin Rivers is not 193 00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:29,720 going to get that wing three he loves. 194 00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:32,520 We're just not going to let those guys get that catch and shoot opportunity. 195 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:35,160 We're going to make Yoke beat us, right? 196 00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:38,200 It's kind of similar to what the Lakers did in the bubble. 197 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:41,840 They Iso him and Anthony Davis or him and Dwight Howard. 198 00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,160 Dwight Howard really bullied Joke in that series. 199 00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:47,080 He was just stronger and more physical. 200 00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:50,360 And then of course, again, they iced the shooters. 201 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:52,080 And so Miami took that strategy. 202 00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:55,560 Yoke has 41-11, but he had four assists. 203 00:10:55,560 --> 00:10:57,880 And you can look at the end of that game. 204 00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:00,080 I don't think Aaron Gordon wanted the ball. 205 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:01,080 I don't. 206 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:03,840 Jamal Murray, Jamal Murray. 207 00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:07,520 I think if he shoots three or four more shots in that game, makes two more, he makes that 208 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:08,520 step back three over to Mbela. 209 00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:09,520 Cash is it. 210 00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:14,480 When you let it go, I thought it was cash. 211 00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:20,000 You know, I don't know how much Michael Porter Jr. really wanted the ball in that spot. 212 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:24,480 Bruce Brown and that other Braun guy, like I don't think they really like. 213 00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:28,080 So you get guys out of rhythm and then get to Yoke is watching. 214 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,200 Well, now Yoke needs you to make a play. 215 00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:32,560 Now Murray got a beautiful step back. 216 00:11:32,560 --> 00:11:33,560 It's posted on Justin Thomas. 217 00:11:33,560 --> 00:11:35,720 It's a wonderful step back. 218 00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,900 Step back three created the space, fired it. 219 00:11:38,900 --> 00:11:41,560 He left it three inches short. 220 00:11:41,560 --> 00:11:43,200 He put three inches more power on it. 221 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:44,200 It swishes. 222 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:48,920 And we may be talking about Denver being up 2-0 going to Miami with a commanding 2-0 lead 223 00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:51,840 and Miami having to win a 4-5 to win the title. 224 00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:55,600 Instead we're talking about a best of five series, Miami having home court advantage, 225 00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,120 having three of the five games in their building. 226 00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:01,120 Games three and four and game six. 227 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:11,760 So I think that the Nuggets have to work on not Yoke is watching and then flip it to Miami. 228 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:15,080 Man, great game. 229 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:18,000 But my question is sustainability. 230 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:19,880 They may again, Yoke had four assists. 231 00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:23,360 I believe that was the smallest amount of assists he's had all playoffs. 232 00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:27,240 I mean, I don't know when the last time Yoke had four assists in the game. 233 00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:29,160 He only had four. 234 00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:32,000 He made 17 threes. 235 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:36,400 They had little to no turnovers from my memory. 236 00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:38,880 Yoke has four assists. 237 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:40,560 Jamal Murray only has 15 shots. 238 00:12:40,560 --> 00:12:43,280 Michael Forte's Ringo does basically nothing. 239 00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:46,760 I don't remember Aaron Gordon making a bucket. 240 00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:52,240 And you win by three with Jamal Murray having a chance to step back to win the game. 241 00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:56,520 Contabas Caldwell-Pope files two missed three point shots. 242 00:12:56,520 --> 00:13:02,560 Again, you won by three and KCP filed two three point shooters that missed both the 243 00:13:02,560 --> 00:13:03,560 actual threes. 244 00:13:03,560 --> 00:13:07,280 They made the free throws, but they missed both actual threes. 245 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:10,040 Take those six points away, Nuggets win by three. 246 00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:18,720 Instead of going 17 of 35, you go much more realistic 13 of 35, the Nuggets win by nine. 247 00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:22,560 Duncan Robinson doesn't have the 10 point flurry he has, which is the NBA finals thing 248 00:13:22,560 --> 00:13:27,520 that happened, I remember Mike Miller without the shoe. 249 00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:33,960 I remember Mike Williams without the shoe. 250 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,440 Mike Miller's right without the shoe for LeBron. 251 00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:38,000 I remember Mario Thomas got high. 252 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,800 I remember the Norris Cole game. 253 00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:45,000 I remember James Jones running in threes. 254 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:48,920 I remember Jamal Green scoring 30 something points in game seven. 255 00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:53,160 Since the finals, things happened. 256 00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:56,520 Duncan Robinson was signing a $90 million contract. 257 00:13:56,520 --> 00:14:00,600 He won't reach most of his incentives, so it'll probably be a $60 million contract, 258 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:04,000 $65 million contract, but he's still signing a big contract. 259 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:10,000 I think he's signing the biggest contract for an unjacked player ever. 260 00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:11,840 He had a 10 point flurry in there. 261 00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:16,120 Let's say it's a much more realistic three and a layup for Duncan Robinson, instead of 262 00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:20,080 like two threes, a layup or two free throws, somebody like that. 263 00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:21,400 He gets five instead of 10. 264 00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:23,200 The Nuggets win by two. 265 00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:27,040 If you're the Miami Heat, you stole the game. 266 00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:30,240 All kudos and congratulations and you did what you wanted to do, which you went in there 267 00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:33,000 and you stole the game. 268 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:39,480 But it took 17 threes, a seasoned low, probably an assist from Jokic, a flurry from Duncan 269 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:45,920 Robinson, KCP fouling two three point shooters, Aaron Gordon basically doing nothing, and 270 00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:51,680 Jamal Murray being passive or limited for a quarter and a half shot attempt to win by 271 00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:52,680 three. 272 00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:58,680 Again, Murray leaves a step back three about three inches too short, or he swishes it and 273 00:14:58,680 --> 00:14:59,680 we're going overtime. 274 00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:06,840 Like I said, potentially I'm talking about can the Miami Heat avoid a sweep? 275 00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:08,520 But again, you got the win. 276 00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:15,280 So if you're the Miami Heat, retrain your brain because now it's a five game series. 277 00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:16,280 You went in there and did what you wanted to do. 278 00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:21,680 It's a five game series and you as the eighth seed, as the lowest seed in the playoffs, 279 00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:26,920 because I think the west eighth seed was better than the, no, the Heat were better than the 280 00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:28,280 Timberwolves record wise. 281 00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:33,520 But anyway, like the second to lowest seed in the playoffs, now have home quarter vans 282 00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:35,920 in the NBA finals. 283 00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:41,220 You have a opportunity here to never have to win another game in Denver and to win this 284 00:15:41,220 --> 00:15:45,020 series in six because you already got one game. 285 00:15:45,020 --> 00:15:47,880 So now you just got to win three, four, go to Denver. 286 00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:52,440 You can lose that game five, come back home and win game six and you're in the driver's 287 00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:57,800 seat and you win the NBA title on your home floor in six games. 288 00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:01,280 I don't think they can do without Jimmy Butler being the best player. 289 00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:02,280 That's just me being honest. 290 00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:07,160 I get the NBA, if the Miami Heat wins the NBA finals, Jimmy Butler has to be the final 291 00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:08,160 MVP. 292 00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:11,880 If it's Caleb Martin as the best player, the Miami Heat won't win. 293 00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:16,320 If it's Bam Adebayo as the best player, the Miami Heat won't win. 294 00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:20,520 The best player on the Miami Heat has to be Jimmy Butler. 295 00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:23,000 Otherwise they will not win the NBA title. 296 00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:26,120 Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, life. 297 00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:30,480 Um, it's just a fact, right? 298 00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:36,480 And so if you're the Heat, you're thinking in your head, we split and Jimmy hasn't even 299 00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:37,480 had a game yet. 300 00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:42,600 The only thing I can say to that is, I kind of told you you were going to win two games. 301 00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:46,000 One of them is going to be for air exposure and one of them is going to be because of 302 00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:47,000 Jimmy Butler. 303 00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,080 That was your air exposure game. 304 00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:50,760 He outcodes Mike Malone. 305 00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:57,080 He got Yokas in a scoring battle and even though Yokas trying to set up his teammates, again 306 00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:58,440 they forced Yokas to score. 307 00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:03,480 They kind of left him one on one with like Caleb Martin and Gabe Vincent and like in 308 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:07,680 the zone making Yokas shoot it. 309 00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:11,920 Um, cause everything in him is like dude I'm a seven foot wall and they got Gabe Vincent 310 00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:13,920 on me trying to guard me. 311 00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:14,920 It's not going to work, right? 312 00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:18,600 And so he was getting his little push shots and his little layups but nobody else on the 313 00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:19,600 court was shooting the ball. 314 00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:26,400 And it was the perfect strategy because now you're forcing those other guys to go cold 315 00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:30,400 and you're forcing Yokas to kind of ignore his own teammates and get rid of his natural 316 00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:31,400 instinct. 317 00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:36,640 Cause there was a three Yokas made that he caught the ball wide, not wide open but it's 318 00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:37,640 NBA open. 319 00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:41,880 You know where the guy would have had to bam, would have had to make two or three steps 320 00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:45,040 to close out on Yokas and Yokas pump fake and stopped. 321 00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:51,200 And then the whole court froze for like a second, second and a half and then Yokas launches 322 00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:52,760 it and nails it. 323 00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:58,880 Um, but his instinct was to pump fake and probably kick somewhere once the defense rotated. 324 00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:01,920 They moved, they shot it himself and nailed it. 325 00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:09,280 But just being that aggressive scorer is not Yokas' DNA. 326 00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:12,600 It's sort of like when LeBron has those games, it's not in his DNA. 327 00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:15,880 Magic Johnson, you know, went for 42 in the finals as a rookie. 328 00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:16,880 Like it's not in his DNA. 329 00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:17,880 It's not, it's not Jordan. 330 00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:18,880 It's not Kobe. 331 00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:19,880 It's not Wilk. 332 00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,880 These guys just say, okay, Allen Iverson, like I'm just Reggie Miller. 333 00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:24,080 I'm going to just shoot it. 334 00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:27,040 You know, I ain't got to worry about setting nobody up. 335 00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:28,040 I ain't ever been a great teammate. 336 00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:31,720 I'm going to just let them fire and I'm going to let them rip. 337 00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:37,280 And so not dealing with that kind of personality or that kind of player and dealing with the 338 00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:43,480 more passive is a bad word, but player that wants to set up a team player that wants to 339 00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:47,640 set up his teammates and his natural instinct is set up my teammates. 340 00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:55,200 It's hard for him to then flip it back and be like, Oh, I'm going to just shoot all game. 341 00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:58,240 I'm going to go get 50, 60 because they're not going to pass it. 342 00:18:58,240 --> 00:18:59,240 My teammates fine. 343 00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:00,240 I'm going to shoot it all game. 344 00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:05,120 Like Yokoz was still trying to make those amazing passes, but the problem is that person's 345 00:19:05,120 --> 00:19:06,120 glued to him. 346 00:19:06,120 --> 00:19:14,120 And so that angle and that window that Yokoz was able to get the ball through in the last 347 00:19:14,120 --> 00:19:16,240 series, he can't get it through now. 348 00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:17,240 Right. 349 00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:21,440 And so in game one, he can't get the ball through that gap. 350 00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:22,440 So Kudos from the Miami Heat. 351 00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:27,880 Like I said, I gave him two games, I say a four or two, Nuggets sticking in my prediction. 352 00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:31,560 After game one, well, I consider saying sweep, but I say I got too much respect. 353 00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:36,320 Like I said on the podcast, I have too much respect for Eric's poster, too much respect 354 00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:41,680 for Jimmy Butler and those guys to just say they're going to get swept out. 355 00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:46,720 You know, I have too much respect for the guys that do that on that man. 356 00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:48,360 I have too much respect for Heat culture. 357 00:19:48,360 --> 00:19:49,720 I say Eric's supposed to get him a game. 358 00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:50,720 That was game two. 359 00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:52,080 Jimmy's going to get him a game. 360 00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:54,760 I don't know if that's going to be game three or game four. 361 00:19:54,760 --> 00:20:02,480 I don't see how they push it past five if they lose both games in Miami. 362 00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:05,040 But I think Jimmy's going to get him a game. 363 00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:06,040 Maybe that game four. 364 00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:13,720 I think the Nuggets go in tomorrow night and they win game three. 365 00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:15,520 Put the pressure on the Heat to win game four. 366 00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:17,520 The Heat respond. 367 00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:18,520 Jimmy has a 40. 368 00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:20,480 One of those playoff Jimmy games. 369 00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:22,680 He hasn't had one in a while. 370 00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:25,000 He's been weird Jimmy. 371 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:26,000 Off Jimmy. 372 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,000 Where he's kind of just been passive. 373 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:31,080 Kind of not jogging around the court, but like there's no energy there. 374 00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:32,080 There's no fight there. 375 00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:33,080 There's no Jimmy Butler. 376 00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:35,360 There's no playoff Jimmy there, right? 377 00:20:35,360 --> 00:20:42,960 And so I think that he's going to get them a game four and force it back to Denver. 378 00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:44,880 All the pressure and the wood on Denver. 379 00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:45,880 The shooters respond. 380 00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:48,040 They make 18 threes or so. 381 00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:50,400 And then I'm recording next Wednesday. 382 00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:52,640 Or Thursday whenever. 383 00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:53,640 Next Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday. 384 00:20:53,640 --> 00:21:00,760 One of those three days telling you guys about how the Nuggets are going to win in six. 385 00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:04,160 And I may end up recording after game six. 386 00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:05,640 Kind of what I did with Boston, Miami. 387 00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:10,400 Where I had that late night recording session after the game in anticipation for the series 388 00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:12,720 being over. 389 00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:17,280 I kind of think I'm going to do that this time for Nuggets Heat. 390 00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:23,360 Where I'll record after game six. 391 00:21:23,360 --> 00:21:25,960 I anticipated being over in game six. 392 00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:28,960 I do want to kind of give an instant reaction. 393 00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:32,120 Boston Miami kind of robbed me of my instant reaction move. 394 00:21:32,120 --> 00:21:37,240 I ended up going to New York right after I recorded on vacation. 395 00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:41,800 So I didn't get to give my instant reaction to game seven leading into the finals. 396 00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:45,680 And so I do want to give an instant reaction to game six. 397 00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:48,960 And then of course if there is a game seven, I'll just record after game seven. 398 00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:49,960 And do the same thing. 399 00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:50,960 An instant reaction. 400 00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:53,360 Congratulations to the champions or whatever. 401 00:21:53,360 --> 00:21:55,800 But I anticipated being over in six. 402 00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:58,040 Denver celebrating at home court. 403 00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:00,720 And then going to whatever that club is. 404 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:02,840 L.I.V. club or the I.V. club. 405 00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:05,200 L.V. whatever that popular night club is. 406 00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:06,360 The Lil Wayne they talked about. 407 00:22:06,360 --> 00:22:08,320 Mark Cuban and the Heat went after. 408 00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:11,560 They won with the Heatos and stuff like that. 409 00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:16,440 I anticipate that going up all night after the Heat ran it out and they flew to Vegas. 410 00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:17,440 Ran that thing out. 411 00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:18,440 Was it the Cavs? 412 00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:19,440 The Cavs ended up going to Vegas. 413 00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:20,440 The Heat ran Miami. 414 00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:21,440 Whatever that club is. 415 00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:29,000 And then like I said having a ball and flying to Denver and running out whatever big night 416 00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:31,200 clubs in Denver and running that thing out. 417 00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:36,440 So I expect those guys to have fun in Miami of course. 418 00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:42,160 But like I said I expect game three tomorrow night to be a Nuggets bounce back game. 419 00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:44,560 Like I said the Heat made 17 threes. 420 00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:46,120 You kept your turnovers low. 421 00:22:46,120 --> 00:22:48,600 You kept Yogas from passing the ball to your teammates. 422 00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:50,320 You forced him to being a scorer. 423 00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:52,840 You pretty much took Michael Porter and Aaron Gordon out of the game. 424 00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:57,160 Bruce Brown didn't do a whole lot of anything. 425 00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:59,060 You kept KCP and those guys. 426 00:22:59,060 --> 00:23:00,720 Those guys who hit all of them like. 427 00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:02,880 You know Murray with the step back over LeBron. 428 00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:05,200 And Lil LeBron gave him the thumbs up. 429 00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:06,680 The Nuggets just had to have been the Nuggets I guess. 430 00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:07,680 But Porter Jr. 431 00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:08,680 Hayden. 432 00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:11,120 I mean he catches the ball and also he was on his toes. 433 00:23:11,120 --> 00:23:15,640 He pulls up anyway and nails it in the corner in that Lakers series. 434 00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:20,860 And if you hear people talk about it and I've spoken about it too as well. 435 00:23:20,860 --> 00:23:23,960 That series could have easily been a sweep for the Lakers. 436 00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:27,840 Because the Lakers were never blown out in that series. 437 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:35,040 They had an opportunity pretty much in every game to win the game. 438 00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:39,040 It was a tie game or two three point game with four minutes left. 439 00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:41,080 Where the Lakers were charged back. 440 00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:43,680 Or you know maybe they had been blown out early and they charged away back. 441 00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:46,480 But they would get it to where it's anybody's game late. 442 00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:48,960 And the Nuggets would just win it on some crazy shot. 443 00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:51,440 Or a couple of bad plays by the Lakers. 444 00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:53,800 Or you know D-Lo missing. 445 00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:56,440 And so the Nuggets ended up sweeping. 446 00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:58,880 It could have very well been a sweep for the Lakers. 447 00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:01,680 Or after game four heading back to Denver. 448 00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:02,680 Lakers are 3-1. 449 00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:05,600 It could have been the Lakers and Heat ran out in the finals. 450 00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:08,600 And we're discussing LeBron going for ring number five. 451 00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:10,400 And where they put him on the go-kate etc. 452 00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:11,400 But we're not. 453 00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:14,440 So I think that the Nuggets are going to bounce back a little bit. 454 00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:16,280 Because they took a lot of history. 455 00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:18,680 And I went through before 17-3s. 456 00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:19,680 Yoke is staying down. 457 00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:21,400 The Nuggets, Yoke's assist ain't down. 458 00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:23,440 The Nuggets are hitting all these crazy shots. 459 00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:25,120 Turnovers low for the Heat. 460 00:24:25,120 --> 00:24:26,720 Bam at a bio putting on his best. 461 00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:28,360 Yoke's impression in the Heat uniform. 462 00:24:28,360 --> 00:24:30,920 In terms of the passing. 463 00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:32,920 Duncan Robinson's flurry. 464 00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:37,480 It felt like the Heat couldn't miss in the first half from three. 465 00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:39,720 And you win by three. 466 00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:43,920 With Jamal Murray three inches away from tying the game to overtime. 467 00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:46,200 They still want to halftime a hero. 468 00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:48,240 He was ruled out with his broken hand. 469 00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:53,160 Or his broken hand recovery I should say. 470 00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:54,160 He's in the process. 471 00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:55,520 He should be ready to go. 472 00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:58,400 Hopefully by game four, game five you're a Heat fan. 473 00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:03,080 But if I'm a Heat fan, I kind of don't want him back. 474 00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:05,080 Like I'm okay. 475 00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:08,160 You know, like, what if? 476 00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:09,160 Gabe Vincent. 477 00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:14,520 Hero has said he doesn't want to come back if he disrupts the rhythm. 478 00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:17,480 And I think that's the only thing that'll happen if he comes back. 479 00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:23,240 Like I don't see a path back for him where he doesn't throw off the rhythm. 480 00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:24,240 Because right now it's been Duncan. 481 00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:25,600 It's been a lot of Duncan Robinson. 482 00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:28,240 It's been a lot of Gabe Vincent. 483 00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:32,320 It's been a lot of Kaleo Martin. 484 00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:36,760 If Tyler Hero comes back 20, 25, he's not going to rush back and get 35 minutes a game 485 00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:39,800 30 minutes a game because he hasn't played in four or five weeks. 486 00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:43,840 But if he comes back and gets 20, 25 minutes a game, that's 20, 25 minutes that Martin 487 00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:48,000 Vincent and Robinson won't get. 488 00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:49,280 And so could that throw off their rhythm? 489 00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:50,640 Could that throw off their timing? 490 00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:53,600 What if Hero is going one for six, one for seven on his way back? 491 00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:57,280 You know, Hero won't be the best defender because he hasn't been on for four or five 492 00:25:57,280 --> 00:25:58,280 weeks. 493 00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:00,040 So he won't be the world's best defender. 494 00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:01,840 What if he gets picked on and pick and roll? 495 00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:06,640 You know, it's just stuff that can happen when a new guy gets dropped into the mix. 496 00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:09,200 So we'll definitely see what happens when Tyler Hero comes back. 497 00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:15,760 But like I said, I expect the next time you guys hear from me, we'll have the Denver Nuggets 498 00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:19,200 being the NBA champion, with Jokas being the finalist MVP. 499 00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:25,800 And I'm discussing how he's the greatest international center ever, second greatest international 500 00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:32,240 player ever behind Akeem Olajuwon, how he's the greatest European player ever, and how 501 00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:35,040 he's the greatest passing big man ever. 502 00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:39,120 Eat your heart out, whoever else wants to be in the discussion. 503 00:26:39,120 --> 00:26:42,360 But that is all we have content wise for today. 504 00:26:42,360 --> 00:26:47,600 We're going to jump into best for last, which is going to be a quick discussion on the Live 505 00:26:47,600 --> 00:27:16,160 of golf and PGA Tour merger. 506 00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:19,720 Alrighty, welcome back into the show. 507 00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:22,960 I realized I forgot a piece of news in the NBA segment. 508 00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:27,600 So we're going to jump back into the NBA for a quick second, maybe like a minute, minute 509 00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:33,200 and a half because it's not really much to it because a lot of the story was BS. 510 00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:38,880 And I was talking about the story that popped out, Shams, me, Shams and Chris Haynes, to 511 00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:44,200 be honest with you, kind of all jumped on it within a couple of minutes of each other. 512 00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:47,400 And that was LeBron being recruited to Dallas by Kyrie. 513 00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:52,640 I say we won't spend much time on this because from all two of the reasons. 514 00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:56,000 One, Kyrie Irvin is not a MAF. 515 00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:58,160 His contract expires June 30th. 516 00:27:58,160 --> 00:27:59,160 He's not under contract with him. 517 00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:00,160 He's a free agent. 518 00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:01,160 He's not a maverick. 519 00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:05,240 Now, technically he hasn't entered the legal moratorium period, the legal tampering period 520 00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:09,160 to negotiate other teams, but I'm sure he's doing it. 521 00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:10,160 He's not a maverick. 522 00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:11,160 Okay? 523 00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:12,240 Number one. 524 00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:15,920 Number two, Les Luca dons his team. 525 00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:19,400 So how were you recruiting to somebody else's team? 526 00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:25,680 That'd be like the assistant GM signing a player without the GM's approval. 527 00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:26,680 It's like, huh? 528 00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:34,440 Well, like at your office, the junior lawyer hiring somebody when the senior lawyer has 529 00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:38,440 no idea or the partner has no idea they got hired or didn't even know everything. 530 00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:39,440 It's like, huh? 531 00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:45,320 How are you recruiting somebody to join my firm when it's my firm? 532 00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:51,260 Number three, Chris Haynes reported that, oh, Dallas was looking to make an offer on 533 00:28:51,260 --> 00:28:58,800 LeBron James before the Lakers put together their trade situation and brought in, you 534 00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:05,040 know, Beasley and Vanderbilt and Russell and Hachimora and turned their season around. 535 00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:06,040 Okay? 536 00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:07,040 Cool. 537 00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:08,040 Great. 538 00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:13,960 So, except the fact that LeBron James was ineligible to be traded before the trade deadline. 539 00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:19,400 He couldn't be traded last season before the trade deadline due to NBA, CBA rules, whatever. 540 00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:23,480 He was ineligible to be traded before the trade deadline. 541 00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:26,800 So there's no way that the Mavericks could have been putting together a package to get 542 00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:31,800 him before the trade deadline if LeBron wasn't eligible to be traded before the trade deadline. 543 00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:34,800 So like I said, we're not going to spend a lot of time on this. 544 00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:38,120 From a basketball's perspective, it doesn't really work. 545 00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:42,640 We've got an aging LeBron who doesn't really want to play defense right now. 546 00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:45,160 Kyra Everett never been interested in playing defense. 547 00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:48,440 Luca Doncias isn't interested in playing defense. 548 00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:56,040 So you'd have to get a 3-and-D guy and a running dunk shooter and a running dunk center around 549 00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:57,040 them. 550 00:29:57,040 --> 00:30:03,880 A rim protector and a 3-and-D guy around them. 551 00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:07,240 People with the Lakers take back. 552 00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:09,680 Nothing that the Mavs can offer because they're trying to trade it. 553 00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:10,680 You're trading assets for Kyrie. 554 00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:14,240 You didn't have 3 Mavs guys and no bench. 555 00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:18,440 You have 3 Mavs guys, none of them want to play defense and none of them are particularly 556 00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:20,240 good off ball. 557 00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:24,240 Luca is terrible off the ball because he's not really a catch-and-shoot three-point shooter. 558 00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:27,160 Kyrie, why would you want him to catch and shooting? 559 00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:29,760 And you've seen LeBron in the playoffs, you don't really want him catching and shooting 560 00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:30,760 either. 561 00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:31,760 It doesn't work. 562 00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:33,040 We're just going to move on with this. 563 00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:34,040 It doesn't work. 564 00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:35,040 It's not going to happen. 565 00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:36,040 LeBron is never going to go to Dallas. 566 00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:37,040 He had that opportunity in 2011. 567 00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:38,040 He passed. 568 00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:39,040 In 2010, he passed. 569 00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:40,040 He had it again in 2014. 570 00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:41,040 He passed. 571 00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:42,040 And when he requested a trade, ultimately he ended it. 572 00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:43,040 When he did it for agency the last time, he had a Dallas skin. 573 00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:44,040 Dallas is on the table. 574 00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:45,040 And he passed and went to LA. 575 00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:46,040 So he's never going to go to Dallas. 576 00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:47,040 Let's just all accept that. 577 00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:48,040 All move on in our life. 578 00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:49,040 Keep pushing. 579 00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:50,040 I spent more time with this than I wanted to. 580 00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:51,040 Again, we're just going to move on in our life. 581 00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:52,040 Cool? 582 00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:53,040 Cool. 583 00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:54,040 Everybody's in agreement. 584 00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:55,040 We're good with that. 585 00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:56,040 We're not going to discuss this any further. 586 00:30:56,040 --> 00:31:04,040 It's not going to happen. 587 00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:05,040 Great. 588 00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:06,040 Spectacular. 589 00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:07,040 Let's move on. 590 00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:08,040 All right. 591 00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:11,040 Back to what I originally want to talk about in Best for Last. 592 00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:12,040 Sorry, Siri. 593 00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:13,040 My bad. 594 00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:14,040 I tripped my watch there. 595 00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:20,240 Back to what I originally want to talk about in Best for Last, which is going to be the 596 00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:23,720 Liv Tour and the PGA Tour combining. 597 00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:25,960 I'm not going to get into the political side. 598 00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:29,560 I don't care about the Saudi Arabian Money Being Liv Tour. 599 00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:34,720 I don't care about how PGA looks, quote unquote, capitulating to Liv. 600 00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:36,520 I don't care how Liv looks. 601 00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:38,160 That business model really didn't work. 602 00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:39,160 I don't care. 603 00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:40,160 I really don't. 604 00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:41,160 Don't care at all. 605 00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:44,400 Who cares less? 606 00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:46,960 What this is about, simply, it's money. 607 00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:52,280 And the PGA Tour looked up and realized they got a lot of our stars. 608 00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:55,800 Like, I can't tell you who won the last four PGA tournaments. 609 00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:56,800 I have no idea. 610 00:31:56,800 --> 00:32:02,440 I think actually Brooke Koepka, who's a Liv golfer, won one of them because the PGA Tour 611 00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:06,720 was like, yeah, you can't play in our Tour events, but our opens, we technically can't 612 00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:07,720 stop you. 613 00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:14,040 So like Brooke Koepka, who's a Liv golfer, won a PGA Tour, won a PGA Major recently. 614 00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:21,320 Like, the stars of the Tour went to Liv because the stars of the Tour kind of realized, like, 615 00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:24,480 look, we can either play to you. 616 00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:28,520 We can either win to eat or the place to get any real money. 617 00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:35,400 Or we can simply go over here, sign this $200 million contract, still play for prize money, 618 00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:39,320 play in all these great golf tournaments, and then we can play on the PGA opens anyway. 619 00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:40,320 But it went there. 620 00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:45,000 This isn't a, we're not going to make a political thing out of this. 621 00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:47,440 We're not going to make a morose thing out of this. 622 00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:49,000 We're not going to do any of that. 623 00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:52,800 We're going to say this side had dollars and this side had cents. 624 00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:56,440 And they went where it made sense, which is with the dollars. 625 00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:57,880 We're not going to go any further than that. 626 00:32:57,880 --> 00:32:58,880 We're not going to go deeper than that. 627 00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:05,360 We're not going to dive into the mental minutia or the mental games people want to play with 628 00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:06,360 this. 629 00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:07,920 We're not going to do that. 630 00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:12,680 One side had hundreds of millions of dollars guaranteed for a lot of the players that went. 631 00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:17,400 Phil Mickelson, Brooke Koepka, I believe Rory McIlroy went as well. 632 00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:21,160 They put out, remember, what's his name? 633 00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:26,800 The guy Greg Norman said that they add a 700 to $800 million offer for Tiger Woods. 634 00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:33,120 A few big time PGA golfers turned down hundreds of millions of dollars from the live tour 635 00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:39,520 to stay with the PGA, which, hey, everybody has their thing. 636 00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:42,600 No, you know, everybody has their thing. 637 00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:44,160 No actually found the tweet. 638 00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:45,920 I was a Rory McIlroy stating PGA. 639 00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:46,920 I'm sorry. 640 00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:48,800 Tiger Woods offered $800 million. 641 00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:51,480 Rory McIlroy was offered $500 million. 642 00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:54,520 Hideki Masayuma was offered $300 million. 643 00:33:54,520 --> 00:34:00,680 And Will Zalatorre was offered $130 million. 644 00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:08,520 Tiger pretty much accepted that he didn't, pretty much said that he didn't take the money 645 00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:15,800 because he couldn't fulfill the, he couldn't fulfill the requirements. 646 00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:16,800 He couldn't fulfill the tour requirements. 647 00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:18,560 He didn't want to take the money. 648 00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:20,800 Rory kind of stood on principle and didn't take it. 649 00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:24,240 I don't know what Hideki and the other guy turned the money down for. 650 00:34:24,240 --> 00:34:25,240 No idea. 651 00:34:25,240 --> 00:34:26,240 Don't care. 652 00:34:26,240 --> 00:34:29,680 But these guys were offered hundreds of millions of dollars. 653 00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:31,160 Kapka took it. 654 00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:32,820 Phil Mickelson took it. 655 00:34:32,820 --> 00:34:35,840 And I'm pretty sure they're going to get their money and be back in the PGA Tour. 656 00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:40,880 Like it was a win-win for the guys who went, for the guys who stood on principle. 657 00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:43,000 You stood under your principles and I hope you're happy with that. 658 00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:44,880 I'm not going to judge you on that. 659 00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:48,240 PGA Tour said, look, we need our stars back. 660 00:34:48,240 --> 00:34:49,680 Do whatever you got to do with live financially. 661 00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:50,680 I don't care. 662 00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:51,680 We need our stars back. 663 00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:52,680 So we're going to put this together. 664 00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:55,960 They actually brought in another tour as well and his big umbrella for golf and they're 665 00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:59,400 all going to play each other's tours in my head. 666 00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:00,800 And I haven't really dove into it. 667 00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:04,240 And I'm sure there's golf shows specifically that'll dive into this further. 668 00:35:04,240 --> 00:35:08,920 But when I hear the words umbrella for the golf world, I hear we're all going to play 669 00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:09,920 each other's tours. 670 00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:12,680 We're all going to split each other's prize money. 671 00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:16,360 Whatever umbrella you're representing, you deal with that umbrella. 672 00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:19,400 So if you're going to represent the PGA Tour, you're going to represent the PGA, you're 673 00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:21,680 going to have the little PGA logo on your shirt. 674 00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:22,680 That's great. 675 00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:23,680 Deal with other PGA. 676 00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:27,400 If you're going to be a live guy and you're going to sign that live contract and you're 677 00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:30,120 going to play these tours, that's great. 678 00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:32,840 You're going to be whatever that other third group is and I can't think of them, but they 679 00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:34,200 didn't really matter to this anyway. 680 00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:35,200 No offense. 681 00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:37,760 And you're going to have that logo on your shirt. 682 00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:38,760 Go be it. 683 00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:39,760 You know, whatever. 684 00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:41,160 But we're all going to be one situation. 685 00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:48,120 We're all going to try and get it as homogenous as possible. 686 00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:50,640 We're all going to get it as symbiotic as possible. 687 00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:52,640 No one's going to try to screw anybody else. 688 00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:57,200 Let's just be one big beautiful golf family and please make our PGA Tour as we have our 689 00:35:57,200 --> 00:35:58,200 ratings go up. 690 00:35:58,200 --> 00:35:59,200 Cool? 691 00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:00,200 Great. 692 00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:01,760 Like it's just that simple to me. 693 00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:03,920 Like it's like an acting. 694 00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:06,760 Like no, everybody didn't get me to a TV screen. 695 00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:10,200 Like I'm going to go support pretty much whatever the rocks in. 696 00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:12,840 Just being honest, I'm going to go watch it. 697 00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:17,320 I'm going to go watch like Tom Cruise gave me to a theater. 698 00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:24,200 Like, you know, whether it's Mission Impossible, whether it's Top Gun, like Tom Cruise is going 699 00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:25,680 to give me to a theater. 700 00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:27,880 These days I've seen Little Mermaid. 701 00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:28,880 Great movie. 702 00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:29,880 I can admit it. 703 00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:30,880 It was a great movie. 704 00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:33,080 Halle Bailey is probably going to get me to a theater the next two or three films she's 705 00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:37,040 in because I want to see her, see how she develops different roles. 706 00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:40,520 I'm trying to think of another female actor is going to give me to a theater. 707 00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:41,520 Can't think of anything right now. 708 00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:42,520 I'm John Blaine. 709 00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:44,680 Not really being in the movies, but that's the kind of the sentiment. 710 00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:48,600 Like these guys are going to give me to wherever
