Speaker 1 (01:35):
Thursday is going to be awesome. We've got you covered
here on Fox Sports Radio. The Titans say they are
not taking any more calls. They know who they're gonna pick.
They just didn't tell us today when they had their
pre draft press conference. But I think we know who's
likely going number one.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
The guy that said Calvin Ridley was one of the
best wide receivers.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
I think we know who's going number one overall in
the draft coming up by Thursday. Hit her up at
Manzi Bolanos. You can find me at Dan Byer on Fox.
Isaac Longcron is here, Ryan Smith is here, as is
our executive producer one Jason Stewarts.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
So you said earlier that you've been told. I don't
know who told you this, that you don't have a
good dangerfield impression. Not sure who told you that. Eddie Garcia, Yes,
so he hated it. He hated it.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
So I tried to do it as much as I could.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
A person that's very familiar to the listeners in this
time slot, Danny G. The Great, Danny G, the producer.
My Danny G impression is just a Rodney dangerfield impression.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
I get no respect. You know, I can't get up
on my work email. I get no respect. I thought
it was just gonna be like, hey, that's all what
Cavino does. Hey, hey, Danny G's not here because he
was with Cavino and Rich earlier this morning on the
Patrick Show. We have to give them their respect. The
(03:00):
NBA players have spoken. The Athletic has released their annual poll.
The anonymous poll sent out to about one hundred and
fifty NBA players, talking about a variety of topics in
the NBA. We've got things like what do you think
(03:20):
about ten minute quarters? We've got who's the best coach
in the NBA? We've got who do you think is
going to be the MVP? One hundred and fifty eight players,
to be exact, over a third of the league. Every
team represented in this poll anonymous voting, and there are
(03:42):
a bunch of different categories, and I want to break
some of these down because they stand out in a
way that give us good information and also give us
good things to talk about.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
So the first, the first poll question that they have
on their article who the the MVP was. And I
feel that this is a precursor to what we're likely
going to get in a couple of weeks when the
NBA's Most Valuable Player award is announced. And while it
was a two horse race with ninety four percent of
(04:16):
the vote being split between these two players, Shake Gil
just Alexander beat out Nikola jokicch in the voting. Sga
got fifty six percent of the vote, Jokicic just north
of thirty seven percent of the vote. So according to
the NBA players, more than half of them feel that
shake Gil just as Alexander will be the or is
the MVP of the league.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
I guess I'm not surprised about that one.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
I think Shake gilges has just been something we've been
talking about the entire season. What he has done with
the thunder and I think there is a little bit
of yeah, like there's maybe a little tired of Nikola
Jokic winning another one a little bit a little bit.
But Nicola Jokich, the reason I think he jumped into
it is when.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
He officially averaged a triple double, right.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Becoming the only third player to do that in history.
That's when his name kind of really jumped out.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
I also think the sixty one point triple double game.
Oh yeah, like that, like there was like this this
leap that took place of like, all right, what are
we doing?
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Absolutely, you know I totally forgot about Well, you're right,
forgot he did that crazy step one.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
No, I think you're I think that your point is fair.
I also my whole issue with the MVP in and
people say, well, these are the best numbers that we've
ever seen for anybody. How can you not give them?
We've had whatever maybe right or wrong, whatever it is,
But this way of voting for the MVP has gone
on forever. We are not changing it at this point.
(05:38):
Best player, best team, has it won? One is a
new Star. Those are all the boxes that are checked
off by Shay Gilles Alexander. MVP awards have been given
to other players with that criteria that fits for me.
SGA completely good with me as being the MVP.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
I'm fine with him winning the MVP as well.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
I think Nikola Yogic can also win it, right Like,
I'm not going to be upset, but SGA, what he's
done this year deserves it and.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
He's fun to watch.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
I know he he's sometimes a little bit of a
foul merchant. He goes for the foul instead of trying
to score. But he is fun to watch and Okay
c is fun to watch.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
That's also a part of it.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
It's also better for the NBA's business, and I know
that the voters aren't thinking of that, but giving Jokic
another MVP isn't great for business. Four and five years
be great for jokicch but I don't even think he cares.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
He doesn't.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
But it would be much better for the NBA to
have SGA B and MVP, not only with the letters
because it works SGA MVP, but also SGA MVP and Okac.
It's it's pretty amazing, but it's also the fact that
you have now another like superstar that you could put
as MVP, and there's you can get some run out
(06:47):
of that. I'm not saying that the NBA is gonna
rig the MVP voting, but I think it'd be better
for the league if SGA ended up winning, and it
helps right.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Coming from a small market also helps the league. That's
that makes them rise a little bit more to becoming
a major market.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
Now. The Thunder did not get as much love when
the players were pulled on who you think other than
your own team would win the title. They came in
second seventeen and a half percent of the vote, overwhelming
votes in favor of Boston. Almost fifty eight percent of
the players polled feel that the Celtics are going to
win the title this season. What I thought was interesting
(07:23):
was not that Boston was number one, or that the
Thunder were two, or that the Cavs were three. It
was that the Lakers were four, right, six point six percent.
So of all the teams in the NBA, the Lakers
they are thirteen in the West. But Rockets didn't get
any votes in this poll. The Nuggets didn't get a few.
By the way, this poll was done prior to Mike
(07:45):
Malone's dismissal. The writers made sure to make that point
so maybe there was more belief in what the Nuggets
were going to do, but they have the rest of
the league think that the Lakers could win a title
was interesting to me.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Right, and this happened after Luca was traded to the Lakers, Right,
and that's the jump they There was no everyone the
minute Luca went to the Lakers.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
I think a lot of people did think, like, huh.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
The Lakers all of a sudden do become a contender
when before I didn't think so. Even with Ad when
that happened, I was like, this doesn't make them a team.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
That can be scary.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
We even had a conversation on the Doug Gottlieb Show
that precedes Cavino and Rich about who we thought were
likely title contenders. I know Jason Stewart was in on that.
I think Jason dug In Sam felt Golden State because
it was Golden State or the Lakers, and I picked
the Lakers because I just felt the overwhelming popularity behind
(08:43):
what they've done over the last couple of months was
something that was out there. Coaching wise, the Warriors haven't
advantaged the whole deal. Warriors only got one point five
percent in this poll, same number as the Milwaukee Bucks, right.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Right, And this was also when they acquired Jimmy Butler,
which is I get that though, I get that. I
think people just thought that the Warriors were going to
be a little bit better, but that they maybe wouldn't
win a seven game series.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Yeah, you know, I find it interesting where people wonder
if the Warriors have enough with Zach Curry and Butler,
but feel that the Lakers do because of Austin Reeves,
but not looking at again the coaching or the defensive
side of the ball. Also think like guys like Pajemski
and Moses Moody aren't necessarily considered into those equations when
(09:29):
they should.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Be absolutely And the Warriors, I think sometimes also you
look at them and you're like, you're kind of short.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
When Draymond Green is your center, you got they're kind
of short. Yeah, as a team, obviously.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
Short's disrespectful. They should go small when they go small,
they go small.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
When Draymond Green, because how tall is Draymond Green? Six
nine and he might be.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
That's my guess, he's probably six seven. Yeah, he's I
bet he's listed six', nine listened at six really okay at.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
Six, Six so might not be six to. Six so the.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
First time that comes off On, google so who, knows
that's probably. Fair, yeah SO i thought they would even embelish.
It he's probably six. Four he's listed at six.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
Six he's probably six exactly, exactly except by.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
The way is he, well, Basically Kevin durant doesn't want
to be seven feet so he'd always be like six.
Eleven he's. Crazy he's. Crazy, okay five years from, now
who will be the face of THE? Nba one and
thirty eight votes were cast in this and another landslide,
victory and It's victor Wembin yama of The San Antonio.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
Spurs i'm surprised on this one that the players voted.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
THIS i am not really BECAUSE i think they get
a first hand to look at the alien that he. Is,
OKAY i think like when you see like of what
he could be and what he what he is right
now and what can be In San, antonio they get
a good. Pick and you got The Aaron fox, there
AND i mean.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
Kind of like the first sound look at The. Celtics
that's why they were so overwhelmingly.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Favorite. YEAH i ALSO i also, think AND i Know
jason's been A wemby guy is well on this BUT
i just also think that there's a. Newness So Anthony
edwards came in second on this, LIST sga came in,
third And Jason tatum came in, fourth AND i just
feel they've been around like. Longer, yeah like if it
(11:31):
was going to, happen they would be on like it
would have. Happened AND i Know Anthony edwards made the
headlines and SAYING i don't want to be the face
of the, league and it started this whole other. Deal but,
AGAIN i don't think that you choose. IT i think
that it chooses. You AND i just don't think that
those other those other candidates Are Like John moran got
two point two percent of the. Vote there's no Way
(11:54):
John morant's going to be the face of the, league
for as great as he is and for as dynamic
as he. Is with everything that's gone on With John,
morant it's just not going to. Happen and there's this
newness To wemby where he's almost unblemished.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
And we just don't know what the ceiling. Is, yeah
sure For victor One.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Vanyama what About luca coming in so low at two
point Nine luka dancc is also had.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
Ten years maybe left like he could. Be i'm surprised
how LOW i agree with.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
THAT i thought it would be. HIGHER i thought that
it should be. Higher maybe they feel Like Nico harrison
felt or players felt, it and saw THAT i would
think of just even the change of scenery of Putting
luca in A lakers uniform gives you a.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
Bit of A absolutely absolutely.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Others that received votes that weren't in This Kate, Well Kate,
cunningham And Paulo bankkaro each got two point two percent
of the, Votes but you did Have Scottie. Barnes Kevin
durant was a nominee in another's receiving. Vote Chet, Holmgren
Zachary reza sche of The, Hawks shaden Show, arp And
Zion williamson also got a. VOTE i Think zion's time
(13:03):
is over as. Well that.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
Close Jason, stewart you guys know that discussion that we've
had over the past year about the face of THE
nba and the question of is this country OR nba
fans willing to have a foreign player as the face
of the. League, YEAH i really think that, now looking
back at that, DISCUSSION i really think it, is and
judging by this pole EVEN i think they, mean are
(13:28):
we ready for a White forum, player BECAUSE i don't
you just you hear About victor and you just he's
a foreign, player but he is very much. Accepted. Now
joannis is another player that was always very much. Accepted
BUT i think the conversation needs to switch to the race.
CARD i hate to bring this into this, conversation But
luca being that low on this list And wombin And
(13:51):
yama having such a, MAJORITY i think that's. Astounding it
says a.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
LOT i think if you would have taken this poll
at the end of last year In, JUNE i Think
luca would have been second And Anthony edwards would have been.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
Third, interesting and you're probably right because he was in the.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Finals like for everything that's gone on With, luca The
mavericks decision to move on from him was in some
sorts a public indictment on the way that he. Plays,
now these players are the ones who are. Voting they
get to see it night in and night. Out BUT
i don't think that there's any way in seeing What
luca did at the end of last year and did
to The timberwolves and Today Anthony edwards that you wouldn't
(14:29):
think that he would be possibly next because he was
on that. TRACK i think the trade changed to him
and actually hurt him in this. SCENARIO i don't think
it's as much about, color BUT i will say this
in the race, factor AND i don't know if it
was if you were allowed to vote this, way But
cooper flag coming into the league and hearing the rave
(14:52):
reviews that we've, heard not only from his freshman year
in what we saw At, duke but just of when
he was on The TEAM usa squad that would practice
against The olympic team that went last, year Those, olympians
those guys who we who are trying to Replace Lebron
james And Steph, curry those are the guys that are
Saying Cooper flagg was the most impressive of any of.
(15:14):
Them so in this ranking Where Jason tatum is there
And Paulo bancaro And Kate cunningham got a couple of,
votes if you were allowed to pick someone outside of the,
LEAGUE i think That Cooper flagg probably would have been
able to receive. Votes in this.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Scenario you might be onto something And i'd be curious
to see what this is next year after a year
Of cooper flag in THE.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
Nba tune Into cavino and rich On able twenty seconds
twenty twenty six for our answer of, That jason thinks
it's more of a race. THING i. DON'T i think
That luca would have been up in the rankings if
it wasn't for his.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
TRADE i don't think it has to do with.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
RACE i think it has more to do with what
you said About victor Win banyama's career being so short
that there's so many we really DON'T i don't know
what his ceiling, is especially with this season being cut so.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Short his weaknesses aren't weaknesses right, now Like, lucas like, you,
Like luca's been in the league long enough when you
look at a player and you're, like you know, what.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
Like you kind of know what you're.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
Getting, yeah you know he's got to get in better. Shape,
yeah Like victor Webbin, yama like in what he has.
Done if there's stuff that he needs to, improve like
if he needs to get, stronger you just, say, well
he just he needs to add. Weight he needs to
he needs to gain. Weight. Now his health is obviously
first and foremost of on the thoughts and minds of,
everyone but in when we look at, him the negatives
(16:36):
or the cons would be stuff that you can improve.
On AND i, think, yeah guys that have been around
the league as long as some of those, others now
we just look at his weaknesses or. Negatives most overrated
player in the league Is Tyre's, halliburton according to these. Players.
WHY i think it's because his jump shot is so.
Ugly AND i honestly feel that that is a part of.
(16:57):
It like he, doesn't he doesn't why he doesn't look
like he should be that. Good, yes but he, IS i,
mean and and SO i think that THAT i think
THAT'S i think that's part of.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
It that's crazy BECAUSE i, MEAN i feel Like Tyrese halliburn's,
personality the small that we get to.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
See he he seems like a likable. Dude So i'm just.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Surprised we, Know Rudy gobert has been a bit of a,
controversial yeah, Player he's done some things maybe that you, know.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Well there are people also to think That Rudy gobert
just completely can disappear, Absolutely like when the going gets,
tough don't go To Rudy. GOBERT i, mean like THAT'S
i think that's the. Case. LUCA i Mean luca put
him on. Skates, now it's Not Rudy gobert's, strength, no
BUT i Mean Rudy gobert Guarding Luka datcicch in The
Western conference finals was like someone walking on an ice
(17:52):
rink with no. Skates that's what it looked like he.
Was it wasn't that he was put on. Skates it
was that he had no, skates and so you're slipping and.
Sliding BUT i also think that when it comes to the,
moment he doesn't rise up to the, occasion.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
Right and when you are a Defensive player of The
year and you're a liability on.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
Defense so because wasn't he the most overrated last.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
Year, rudy he may have.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
BEEN i feel like he, was or it's been a
topic of.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Discussion i'm surprised it's Not Rudy gobert, still to be,
HONEST i Can't tyre's Celebrat.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
No you're, right you're ready To Rudy gobert most and
third place Was Trey young this. Year young was a
third last. Year gobert was first.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
Last, year and So Tyres haliver just came out of.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
Nowhere this was the comment About Rudy. GOBERT i don't
understand the Defensive player of The year stuff when you
don't guard the people who have the ball most of the,
time the ones who are making most of the. Decisions
so that's when you talk about him walking on an
ice rink with tennis. Shoes that's what he looked like
playing defense Against. LUCA i will say, this there were
only ninety votes cast on this, one yes opposed to
(19:00):
one hundred and, Thirty so maybe other players didn't want
to weigh. In BUT i do feel that people had
an ax to grind because there's like forty. Nominees, yeah
and SO i think that THE nba players are, LIKE
i am going to give you WHO i think is. Overrated,
Third we're going to go deep in this. List just
quick Hits Trey. YOUNG i actually have felt That Trey
young has been overrated his entire. CAREER i think That
(19:23):
i've never been a buyer In Trey YOUNG'S i don't
think that his numbers correlate with the team's. Success. YEAH
i think that you can look at the assist, numbers
and you can look at the points it hasn't translated in.
WINS i think even when The hawks made their little,
Run Tray young was dinged up for a. WHILE i
(19:44):
don't think that he translates to winning. BASKETBALL i Think
Trey young is About Trey. Young your. Boy Jimmy butler was.
FOURTH i completely agree with, this but he has been,
great like he was great In game.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
One, Yeah Jimmy butler in the.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
Playoff jimmy's a real. Thing, Off jimmy is a real.
Thing AND i don't know IF i actually. AGREE i
agree with what you said About Trey young maybe not
playing team, basketball BUT i do Think Trey, young for
what he does with his size is pretty.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
Incredible i'll give, that, Yes BUT i also think That
Trey young knows how to get his. Numbers, yeah and that's.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Why, yeah it's LIKE i, Agree, YES i agree with,
you BUT i wouldn't say he's.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
Overrated BUT i so.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Last year we Had gobert one And Trey young. Three
who else was in last year's.
Speaker 5 (20:31):
Rankings Chase Jordan poole was, Second, Okay Dylan brooks was.
Four they didn't even make the top. Eight Dylan brooks
is lower down the list with two point two percent
of the. Vote Bradley BEAL i feel like he's taken
a lot of the heat for why The suns ended
up failing because he Hasn't he's the third wheel in
That Draymond green was brought, Up John morant was brought.
(20:53):
Up Joel embiid was an interesting. Name giannis's name was
also cast and so Was. Lebron somebody had an axe
to grind in all of? This what also is funny
in the like the one vote, category H Jack landale
got a vote like somebody had an ax to grind, There.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
Chris Paul.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
That's that's How, yeah nobody even talks about the.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Guy so those are the most. Overrated, finally let's let's
end on a good. Note let's end on a on
a positive. Note, here most underrated Player Cad cunningham of
The Detroit.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
Pistons how how is he?
Speaker 2 (21:41):
Underrated he's a star for The, pistons number one overall
draft pick in is what third?
Speaker 3 (21:46):
Year how is he?
Speaker 1 (21:48):
Underrated he has taken his team to a level that
they have not seen in a. Decade he has increased
his level of play despite the expectations of being the
number one overall. Pick he's now An all. STAR i
think he's raised his, game and maybe because he was
buried In. Detroit he also had some health issues early
(22:09):
on in his. Career but now that he's, HEALTHY i
think the guys that see him night in and night
out are now wanting people to know how good kid
cutting him.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
Is but he's the star of The. Pistons we all know.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
That in, fact when we were just discussing who could
be the face of the, league even some put his
name out. There so is he underrated or can he
be the face of the?
Speaker 1 (22:27):
League you're a kid. HATER i am not A you're a. Cater,
no it's.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
NOT i even brought this up on The Doug Gottlieb
show in, time that Kid cunningham could be the face
of the, league AND i was.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
Shut down because he's in a small.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Market but, NO i just don't get how he can
be underrated in a short amount of Time when you
were the number one overall pick taking your team To New.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
Heights isn't that what you were expected to? Do that's
why you were select to number one.

jeremiah friend of The New, work has had Cam ward
at around eight in his rankings throughout this offseason of,
prospects and it's just crazy to me and, Listen i'm
someone that wonders about the value of. CORNERBACKS i put
extreme value on offensive line and defensive. Line but it's
just the, Fact manzi That Travis, hunter the first possibly
(24:23):
two way star that we've had in THE nfl in
decades who's A Heisman trophy winner and has everything around
him SEEMING i, mean five star player out of high,
school obviously did it At Jackson, state did it At
colorado WHEN i think there was maybe less around him
in other spots than maybe other players at other. Schools
(24:45):
and the fact that The titans feel obligated to take
Cam ward number. One some knock on Cam, Ward now
it's a knock on THE nfl being so darn reliant
on quarterbacks and this need to get. Quarterbacks that's the
problem THAT i. Have it is Like tennessee's, Like, okay
we the more overall, pick we have to use it
on a quarterback because that's what the league. Is Ryan
callahan's an offensive. Coach that's my problem with. It LIKE
(25:08):
i can't believe That Travis, hunter maybe is, playing is
going to play second fiddle at least On draft night
to a prospect that's not even in the top five
of the. Draft but that's AN nfl. Problem it's not
A titans or a Cam ward.
Speaker 3 (25:18):
PROBLEM i am so with you on.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
That, LIKE i don't care if you have the best
receiver out there or the you, know the best, whatever
you take the. Unicorn who why especially in a year
where the draft class is not what you expect or
maybe what you. Want but to feel that you are
forced to take a quarterback with the number overall pick
(25:43):
does suck for The Titans and getting Cam ward does
that all of a sudden make you a contender in your?
Speaker 3 (25:49):
Division? No so why not on that?
Speaker 1 (25:51):
Division? Maybe but, yeah but, NO i GET i totally
get your.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
POINT i JUST i don't not a knock on Cam.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
Ward it's Just Travis hunter is in this draft class
AND i can't believe he's not being taken first.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
Over It's it's done. REAL i blame THE. NFL i
don't blame it. Again The titans wanted to trade out of,
it another team would trade up to take Cam. Ward,
yes that's, Yes but it's because the league is just
so dependent they're being. Forced, yes, yeah it's why Brock
party's gonna get fifty million. Dollars people think he's a
forty million Dollar it's. True that's the way it. Is

Me but then he acted like he didn't do anything
when the ref got close and he put his hands
up like, hey hey, hey it WAS i didn't do.
Anything that pissed me off even. More obviously lifting him up.

Poll that's, right that's, right find out who went? Where next,
Year Ridy gobert will cooper flag me on that next
face of THE. Nbah, yeah all things to look forward,
to but looking back this past, weekend She's. Montiblanios i'm
dan by our infancy in r. Who by the, way
we're in For Dan patrick earlier today Because Dan patrick
(31:30):
is on his way to THE Nfl. Draft we'll get
to that in a sec as it takes place In Green.
Bay this, weekend the twenty twenty FIVE Nba playoffs had
its most watch opening weekend in twenty five, years averaging
four point four million, viewers up seventeen percent from last.
Year is there any rhyme or reason that comes to
(31:51):
your mind on why people feel that The easter holiday
was a reason why these ratings were that high Because.
Easter it's not every year That easter is on the
opening weekend at THE Nba, playoffs but they felt that that.
Speaker 3 (32:05):
Helped so the idea is that people were home with
their families and just having it on in the background.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
Type of, thing or just, yeah just maybe home and
not out and about doing.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
Things, YEAH i GUESS i just always thought like For,
easter you you had events planned with like, kids and
which we, did, Right so it's, LIKE i don't know,
HOW i don't know if it's Like thanksgiving where you're
literally sitting on the couch hanging out with your. FAMILY
i feel Like easter usually has events better part of the,
day So i'm a little bit, surprised even THOUGH i
did read. THAT i think a part of it was
(32:34):
how The Western conference the competition was so high THAT
i think people were looking forward to those series in
The Western.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
CONFERENCE i also think it's a sign that it's POST.
Covid oh, yeah that like we have LIKE i think
every single year when we would talking about the ratings
and be, like, oh best since twenty, eighteen twenty, nineteen
golf this past weekend got high. Ratings it was it
was off the heels of The, masters WHICH i think.
Helps but it's not like THE Rbc heritage was a
major even though it was a signature. EVENT i don't
(33:03):
think people were rushing to the screen to see If
Justin thomas could get it done in a, playoff which he.
Did BUT i do think that The easter holiday plays into.
It BUT i am now curious to see on if
we're gonna see a boom in all of this. Stuff
because the games weren't, Great.
Speaker 2 (33:18):
No, no there was a fifty point blowout in one of.
Them The clippers And maps Are. Maps The clippers and
The nuggets has been the most, exciting ALTHOUGH i WILL
i enjoyed The celtics and The. Magic celtics could not
bench their players until late in the fourth quarter because
The magic gave them a run for their.
Speaker 1 (33:36):
Money you're gonna look back in like a month and be,
like why DID i pay attention so much To game
one of That Magic celtics?
Speaker 3 (33:43):
Series Jason didn'm being doubtful For game. TWO i think
The magic have a chance to win a.
Speaker 1 (33:47):
Game to win that, game, yes the grand scheme of.
Things When boston's in The Eastern Conference, Finals you're gonna
look back and again, SAY i WISH i had those
two hours, back. Right and that's the problem THAT i
think that most of the people look at the first,
round and quite, HONESTLY i kind of do as. Well
but Tonight i'll be watching because The bucks end up
playing The pacers In game two And Damian lillard is. Back,
(34:10):
yeah AND I i, MEAN i think it's it's great
on the, surface but The bucks won eight in a
row at the end of the, year AND i know
not everybody's trying and everybody's competing at the end of the,
year but a lot of their opponents had things to play.
For AND i just don't know If Joannison dame now
we're two years, ago.
Speaker 3 (34:28):
Are you rushing it back a little?
Speaker 1 (34:30):
BIT i just don't know if they if they're like
on the, surface it looks Like bucks Get dame, back lookout,
World AND i just don't know if it works that,
way like They lillard missed fourteen games to end the
end of the regular season and The bucks went ten and,
four and so it's just the point of IT'S i
(34:51):
don't know if it's, working. Okay and so now you
go into the playoffs and everybody's eyes are on, you
and you're playing against a team that for some reason
you're infatuated and messing around, with and you can get
under your skin like no. Other AND i just don't.
Know LIKE i heard inside THE nba last night and
heard other people that people picking The bucks to win the.
SERIES i just don't. Know this could be me being
(35:13):
the glass half empty sort of. GUY i just wondered
If giannis felt a little bit more freedom and not
this obligation And lillard in the same, way If giannis
isn't there to do their own.
Speaker 2 (35:23):
Thing, yeah that's Probably you're probably onto. SOMETHING i, Mean
Kyle kuzma just needs to score something. Though, yeah for The,
bucks he should just do something, Something just do.
Speaker 1 (35:30):
Something, Literally i'll tell you what you should do On thursday,
night and that's listen To Fox Sports radio for THE Nfl.

Speaker 1 (36:24):
Pros peter Schreger now AT espn reported that teams were
calling The browns And giants at two and. Three and
if we learned anything From Hard knocks last, year remember
When Joe shane called up The patriots knowing that they
weren't going to, move but still technically that's a call, up,
right that's a call to move up to that. Point
(36:45):
so that did. HAPPEN i just don't believe anything from
now until the actual. Draft like in this forty eight hour,
Window i'm not going to believe ANYTHING i hear BECAUSE
i feel everything is a smoke, Screen AND i think.
Speaker 3 (36:55):
You're right to feel that way because it was probably
just a phone call that meant really. Nothing sure.
Speaker 1 (37:00):
Service, yeah so what about if you, know if Cam
wore doesn't go, one would you move out of To?
Cleveland like it could be a call like.
Speaker 3 (37:06):
That oh, yeah all?
Speaker 1 (37:07):
Right do The bucks even it with The? Pacers?
Speaker 3 (37:10):
Yes, OKAY i do think.
Speaker 1 (37:12):
So Does memphis get within thirty of ok see.
