Speaker 4 (01:31):
All right, Let's shift to baseball. A lot of stuff
going on.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Crazy game in Chicago.
Speaker 5 (01:36):
Right now, five to four, the Cubs leading, the Dodgers.
Yankees lost to the Guardians. And what other game do
we see? The met Mets care because it was two
to one the last time we saw it. So yeah,
a lot of baseball stuff going on. Basketball playoffs of
course as well. Okay, see it's a real game now.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
The game Memphis is hanging around.
Speaker 5 (01:57):
Eighty seventy with six minutes to go in the third,
and so there's a lot of stuff. But let's go
here again. Ronald Lacuna Junior, the Atlanta Braves star, and
he had an incident, No, I should say, he tweeted
about an incident that happened, and it uh rubbed a
lot of people right the wrong way. He actually took
(02:19):
down the tweet, but uh it sent a little shockwaves
through the uh Atlanta Braves clubhouse and team. And Bo
jump in and set the table for us.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (02:31):
So, uh, basically what happened is that Braves outfitler Jared
Kalenik thought that he had hit home run, he admired it,
did all that stuff, then he realized he needed to hustle,
got thrown out at second base. Braves manager Brian Sticker,
he was asked about it, said he shrug. He shrugged
it off, saying he didn't see clinic always hustles. He
didn't see it until it was representention, which drew the
(02:53):
ire of Braves out father Ronald Lacuney Jr. Who was
rehabbing and watching the game at home. Braves beat writer
Mark Men tweeted about Snicker's reaction, to which Ronill Kuni replied, Uh,
if it were me, they would have taken me out
of the game, which they have done previously.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Yeah, they've done it a couple of times throughout his career,
and they've done it to some other Latino Latin American
players as well. And that's where some people start to say, well,
was what coon you're saying?
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Is this true? When you start to look at it,
it's kind of fact.
Speaker 6 (03:22):
I think Acuna has said something too about you know,
Freddie Freeman and the way he treated him while he
was in Atlanta too.
Speaker 5 (03:28):
So right, yeah, And I'm gonna say this, if you
have a policy and no one is going to disagree.
I don't think anybody if you don't hustle, you should
be barked at and yelled at. And you know what
I mean, I disagree. Yeah, nobody disagreed. You got to hustle, man.
You're making millions of dollars. You're playing a kid's game.
All you do is run the ball out, right, You
(03:49):
hit the ball, run, run it out, run the first
somebody might drop it, somebody might uh, the outfielder might misplay.
Just run the ball out. That's all people are asking
to do. Not slide head first on a routine groundball
the first base.
Speaker 4 (04:01):
You know what I mean. Nobody's trying to act you
to get hurt or do something stupid.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
He rolls around right now, you know what?
Speaker 4 (04:07):
But you get me? Yeah, so so I just think,
but be insistent.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Was there? You go? What he was being asked to do?
Acuna Junior.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Any player being asked to do is part of the game, right,
It's part of checking the boxes. Did NAIs crossing teas
of baseball? And professionalism. Hey, you never know what's going
to happen.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
And even if.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Ninety eight point nine percent of time still cat, it's
part of being a professional in this sport. Uh, the
larger conversation starts to become Uh, it's twofold for me, Rob.
So the obvious one is to have a racial conversation, right,
that's the one that's sitting there. That's the one that
I don't know if Cuna Junior is insinuating. It seems
(04:48):
like he is, and I don't know if it's the
one that actually may be the case because a couple
of the references that have happened, uh were where Latin
American players were benched the game because of it, and
and the other examples where when white players did the
same thing, they were not it was kind of an excuse.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
All he didn't see it usually runs.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
So there is where the obvious race conversation comes into this.
Before I get to that, or even if to me,
one thing I will say also reputation. So I'm gonna
reserve one little bit of do I know how you practice?
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Do I know what you're doing?
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Where you know this as a teacher, as a mentor
or sometime. I know this as a mentor and also
a parent. Some people, if you called me and say, hey, man,
so and so he didn't do the most remedial routine
thing he's supposed to do, I'd be like, there he
go again. You know what I mean? This is I
keep trying to tell him not to do that. This
is what he always does. Whereas his other people they
(05:45):
do everything they're supposed to do their own time. They
do this, they work hard so that the time they
don't do it, you naturally offer them grace.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
Yeah, but I think so. I was trying to say, maybe, but.
Speaker 5 (05:57):
If you're gonna be consistent, like that's the big thing.
That's what people want, consistency so somebody doesn't hustle. And
Acunya has the right to be watching going wait a minute,
had I done that, it would have been World War three.
Speaker 4 (06:09):
And I get you.
Speaker 5 (06:11):
Talking about two time offender compared to a no time
offender or whatever. It doesn't mean that he can just
the manager flop it off and say well I didn't
see it. Well the video, well we're telling you that
this is what went on. And then well that's bad
(06:32):
on me because if he didn't run hard or run
it out. Then that's not what we do here in Atlanta.
I'm gonna have a talk on him. And the next
time that happens, you know what I mean, that's the conversation.
You have to just say I didn't see it and
and and make no big deal about it. When you
have a star like Acuna Junior feels like he's being
picked on. And then the idea even bringing up the
(06:54):
other Latin players, and that team does a lot of
Latin players. They do one thing you don't want to
do as a manager, the clubhouse off.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
And for what I'm gonna take to Twitter or you know,
so easily lets me know that maybe there is some conversation.
Speaker 4 (07:10):
That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Maybe there are some Hey man, you ever noticed our manager,
our skipper been uh doing things a little differently because
for him to just take to Twitter that easily, there's
frustration because when you're rocking with a coach, when you're
rocking with a manager, you kind of go, you know,
hey man, that's what coach wants. That's how we get down.
I needed to do the blah or meh blah blah blah.
You can you can make a reason because this is
(07:32):
how we do it. We're all connected with locked in.
This is a team, this is how we operate. But
when you easily can do that, that lets me know
you've been frustrated about some things, You've been observing some things,
and that was your final straw lie. Okay, look he
sitting down. He's sitting down. I'm sitting down. Why isn't
he and why is it the other guy that who
happened to be white? And I'm not saying this is
what happening, but hey, perception is reality, especially for a
(07:54):
Coonia junior who's playing and it's seeing this and like.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Coach, what's going on?
Speaker 4 (08:00):
So here's our conversation. Let's take it here.
Speaker 5 (08:03):
I'm with Ronal Lacuna junior all the way, like he
has a right of gripe because it's happened to him
and people have come down hard on him about not
hustling and all that, and you know that that's just
a rule. He got that with a Dodger, like they
didn't hustle whatever and all that. Here's where I break
camp with him. And this is where the age difference
(08:24):
between me and you probably factors in. I want to
have that conversation to talk about it. I don't know
if I have to broadcast everything on social media. That
shouldn't have to be the only outlet. Go to the manager,
Go to the general manager, talk, you know, talk it out,
say dude, I just want to know, well, what is
(08:45):
the what are you doing here? When I did it,
it was the end of the world. And now you
just say you didn't see it or you know you
didn't nothing happened.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
Why is that? Can you explain to me? Are we
all hustling or.
Speaker 5 (08:58):
Some people don't have to hustle and I would rather
be that And I even said to you earlier, It's
just like we live in this world where people don't
want to confront people have those conversations. How many guys
in their twenties or whatever or early thirties have never
asked a woman out, you know, like never had to
walk up to them and say hi, I'm rob and and.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
There's actual numbers there, you know, it's like I'm cool, crazy,
like forty some study just seemed really cool.
Speaker 5 (09:26):
I'd like to get to know you with any chance
that we could go out to grab a bite, get
a drink or whatever, and you had to do that,
and now guys are just swiping and sending a message.
Well if she doesn't answer back, net big next, go
to the next girl, whatever it is, and and they're
just it's unbelievable. And that's why that's the part where
I think Acuna could have handled it without just going
(09:47):
to social media, because he wound up taking a post out.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
And then we've who just deleted something the other day
We talked about you all the time, cheers with the
umpire cheers them had to delete. Like, so here's the thing, Rob,
And this is where I know I'm younger than you,
but I'm also older than Chisholm.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
I'm older than the Coune junior.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Right, I'm probably anywhere from you know, shoot, maybe twenty
years some of these guys senior, and that that's their default.
How many times have you seen this? Mary Mack are
you in there? You've seen this? Bo You've seen this
where people will be in an argument with somebody there.
(10:27):
It could be their boyfriend, their girlfriend, their their best friend,
it could be their sister or brother. They're five feet
away from each other, but they're texting the argument right.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
Literally, I can't believe you.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Oh, why would you say that, well, if you want
to do something, we get they're five feet ten feet
away from each other. It is just the handheld, this
ability to say things with I'm having to actually say it,
but I have having to make eye contact without having
to be comfortable in uncomfortable situations.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
That is where we are.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
So the default is, oh my gosh, I saw something,
let me rush to get it out.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
I can't believe you say that.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
TWEETEO two to two tweet Oh my gosh, I'm mad
at my coach tweet to tweet Me and my boyfriend
had an argument, uh post on Facebook break. I can't
believe he would do me like that. You know, my
mom gets someone of hers and it's just that's just
the day and age we're in. And if you look
at the advent of Facebook, that goes back to about
two thousand and seven ish, so now that is eighteen years.
(11:25):
A lot of these players twenty five, twenty eight, so
since they were five, six, seven, ten years old. This
is all they've ever known. When I'm frustrated, I vent
about it. I'm in love. I tell everybody about it.
I'm about to go get this new job. Before they
have the job on my way.
Speaker 4 (11:40):
To an internew. I just can't get over it.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
It's amazing, and I don't know how to change that.
I don't know what to do. I don't know how
to advocate for the young people say hey, you don't
have to expose all your business, tell all your business.
And I'm glad. I'm a hybrid. I'm young enough to
understand him and hip and can hang with him a
little bit. I understand what's what. But I'm old enough
to also remember when you didn't tell all your business,
when you did things, you let things happen before you
(12:03):
said they happened, they actually would. And so I say
that to say he absolutely should have walked right in
to the Skipper's you know office, and say, hey, look man,
I'm gonna be honest with you.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Me and a few of the guys, we're confused right now.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
We're not understanding why things aren't the same, why they
aren't apples to apples an equal because I did this
and I missed again.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
He did it.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
He missed again. He doesn't he doesn't get a game.
He doesn't, you know, get and you have a legitimate conversation,
and he might come down. It might come down to uh,
you don't be practicing hard enover. Oh remember that time
I told you about it before and then you did
it again. You might oh, shoot, that's right, I forgot
about that, or you might have an uncomfortable conversation and
that to perceptions you say, hey, we feel like us
(12:43):
as Latin Americans would feel like something's going on.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
But have it. You gotta have it, man.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
And to your point, I just we're losing that ability
to be look somebody eye to eye, man to man
and have these conversations in that dialogue and say, hey,
this is what I'm feeling, this is where I am.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
When we were coming up, remember they called it. I mean.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
I feel that da da da da dada, and I
feel uncomfortable with me. But but you had to have
those have those conversations. We're not have him now. The
first thing I do is take the Instagram and take
the Twitter, take the Snapchat, take the TikTok.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
And but put all your business out there.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
You know, only kids have gotten their parents in trouble
just because her parent parented.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
I'm doing an Instagram live. I can't believe my mom
or daddy. Yell let me right now.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
They told me I can't marry his pointing at me,
how right I am? I can't even leave. It's you're
a horrible mother right now, and they oversil what really happened,
and the parents get calls your child said you did this.
You're like, no, Yeah, I disciplined my child like I'm
supposed to do. It's a different ad and we didn't
want to get our parents, so we didn't want we
wanted to.

We're not debating on whether or not you know, acuon
you had to write to be upset about, you know,
one player not being disciplined, a pull from the game
benched when he was. It's about the way he showed
his frustration going to social media. Is it okay because
he's a younger guy and this is what he used
to or is it weak or lame that he's not
(14:10):
willing to have a face to face conversation or a
phone call or something where you confront and have a conversation.

just want to let them know that Yo, I didn't
address it.
Speaker 8 (16:36):
And y'all have to keep tagging me in this.
Speaker 7 (16:38):
Stuff because I'm not going out like a punk. And

Speaker 4 (17:20):
I just want to.
Speaker 9 (17:20):
Say on this subject, you know, I'm more of the
generation towards you, Rob and you know, be standing up
man to man but Calvin, it's nice to hear you.
You're kind of on that border, and it's nice to
hear that, you know, especially being a father with the daughters,
that that you kind of try to control that social
media and you know, there's there's a time for it
(17:42):
and there's a time not to. I mean, this guy
absolutely should have went in the office, been a man
and talked to the Boston said, hey, man, what's up
with this?
Speaker 4 (17:50):
Exactly? He has a point, don't you agree, Brian?
Speaker 2 (17:53):

Speaker 3 (18:11):
Good man?
Speaker 10 (18:12):
Yeah, man, I think he's wrong about it, But you.
Speaker 8 (18:15):
Just need to communicate.
Speaker 10 (18:17):
You just need to communicating with the office man. And
you know, I'm not about to hold social media and
stuff myself. I mean, yeah, I tryed out to have
my kids on it. I mean, my oldest was like eight,
so it's like, you know, I don't even expose to
that stuff right now. So he's heard that they have
to understand what he's supposed to be doing, you know.
Speaker 5 (18:33):
Right, And and that's that's your point, is well, taking
the phones a little appreciate you.
Speaker 4 (18:39):
That's about communication.
Speaker 5 (18:40):
But but there's a time and the place for for
having a a real conversation.
Speaker 4 (18:46):
It's the same thing.
Speaker 5 (18:47):
And I you know, like if somebody's asking you for
a favor, or something's going down or something, say that
they owe you something and they can't do it, you
don't text me.
Speaker 4 (18:55):
Just call me and let me know what's happening. That
that's all.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
You don't have to right, have to sub tweet me.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
You're talking about me, but without saying me just you
don't have to just come talk to me.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Hit me up. Hey, man, hey, you gotta quit.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
I've been feeling a certain way when you did this,
when you said that when blah blah blah, let's talk.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
Let's have a talk, man.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
And you know what's funny, so many times when you
have those conversations are uncomfortable conversations, you actually walk away
feeling better.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
Even in relationship.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
I look, and it's gonna be tight because our natural
human inclination is to be defensive, right, No, no, no,
I only get it because you But once you work
through that, hear the person out have a conversation. That's
why I just it's not you, it's me. You know, Hey, yo,
it's not stupid. Yeah, it's not you know. Actually it's
(19:46):
not just me. It's the other teammates too. That you're
sitting down, but you're not sitting certain teammates down. But yeah,
I think. But honestly, man, the the the documentaries, the thesis,
the says, the stories, the reporting, the all that's gonna
be done on social media, and it's gonna officially become
(20:09):
like cigarettes, like use at your own you know, as
you see fit, but just know it causes a lot
more harm and damage to you then you maybe thought,
and I think social media we're gonna start getting to
that place where these studies and these findings are there
where we see how detrimental it was for society.
Speaker 5 (20:25):
Like when people always you know, when I block people
on social media, it's basically for saying something that I
didn't say, or just you know, like calling me a name,
Like if you can't have a conversation, it's a sports.
We can disagree, but if I got right, Once you
get into that it's just an automatic block. And then
(20:46):
they don't understand why Rob don't want to take no quick,
no, no no. When you start out with you're an idiot,
there's no conversation. Seriously, I'm not this is my social media.
I'm not gonna read that or or get back at
you a call you a name, or you.
Speaker 4 (21:01):
Never see that. You don't see me doing that on
social do it.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
We've lost the reality, a sense of reality.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
People think, you know, they can just do anything, say
anything on social media. They've absolutely gone too far with that.
All right again, good conversation. I like that we can
have these conversations where uh, you know, involved might involve
race or be a little more difficult. We got Antonio
Daniels right around the corner, talk some hoops. We got
some games going on right now, the NBA postseason right now.
Speaker 4 (21:29):
Is going to give you the update.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
Can Yannis pull it through? Right now?
Speaker 4 (21:33):
We have you here that I'm muscle. Look every day,
I'm muscle. Look every day I'm muscle.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Antonio Daniels for re NBA players, seris ExM Pelicans, color analysts,
the hardest working man in show business and you can
follow them on x A Daniels thirty three eighty.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
What's up man?
Speaker 8 (21:56):
What's up? Fellas? I'm sitting it watching this game right now?
Yeah in Indiana?
Speaker 1 (22:01):
Come on, Giannis, you gotta make that what happened? They
blue the Las gonna put that one in? That was
a bad miss right there?
Speaker 8 (22:08):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (22:09):
I mean asked a d the question we asked earlier
Game seven anybody currently in the league?
Speaker 2 (22:16):
Ad who do you pick one gay? The guy?
Speaker 1 (22:19):
You say, as long as I got him, I'm happy
going on. I said I would take Kawhi Leonard. I said,
I've loved that answer, but I gotta go nuclear, Luca,
who would you.
Speaker 5 (22:28):
Take out of the current players?
Speaker 2 (22:35):
That's how we start.
Speaker 5 (22:37):
I already know Antony's gonna use this on serious tomorrow.
Speaker 8 (22:40):
Right that. That's a tough one. Game seven. I need
one win.
Speaker 4 (22:47):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
Finally, I don't know.
Speaker 5 (22:50):
I don't know anything else though, No, No, you don't
know anything else.
Speaker 4 (22:54):
You just like you just this guy on my team.
And I'm like, I don't want to be a prison
of the moment.
Speaker 5 (22:59):
But we all what Kawhi Leonard did last night, thirty
four points in thirty nine minutes and fifteen for nineteen
and we know We've seen this guy when he's healthy.
Speaker 4 (23:10):
Uh, Antonio, he's as good as it gets.
Speaker 8 (23:14):
Yeah, man, that's a toughy because you know the reason. Okay,
there's a reason I wouldn't take Luca, there's a reason
I wouldn't take your kitch. If I don't know anything else,
I have to have somebody I know that's going to
impact the game on both sides of the ball.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
Yep, that's my thought.
Speaker 8 (23:34):
So Kawhi is a good one.
Speaker 4 (23:37):
Yep.
Speaker 8 (23:38):
Uh, Jhanna's is a good one. The only thing with
Yannis is the whole free throw thing.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
That's a real thing.
Speaker 4 (23:46):
That's good, that is real, that is real, and that's real.
Speaker 8 (23:49):
Yeah, honest, man, I don't know. I had to get
back to y'all on that one.
Speaker 4 (23:54):
No, that's a real that's a real one.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
Yeah, you see.
Speaker 5 (23:57):
Can we talk about the Lakers and the importance? What
do they need to clean up? Because they were uninspired?
Left people open. You leave people open in the NBA.
You noticed, Antonio, you give me a freak a clean look,
you know, and you're lucky to get clean looks in
the NBA.
Speaker 8 (24:12):
But the thing is, here's my thing with the Lakers.
You know, I had the privilege with but my co
host Roperenz last week of interviewing Jimmy Busk for three
hours on our show Wow Wow, and I told her
at that time that I thought that the Minnesota Timberwolves
were the toughest matchup that the Lakers could face in
(24:32):
the first round out of anybody. They would give the
Lakers more problems in Oklahoma City than the Clippers than
anybody else because they are completely opposite of the Lakers.
Everything that the Lakers lack is Minnesota's strength. Yeah, so
I think it's easy to say, well, what do they
need to clean up? The thing is they have an
excellent one on one player in Ethny Networks. And you
(24:54):
know what, Luca and Lebron and Austin Reeves don't do
very well. They don't defend. So now Anthony Networks, he
can pick and choose who he wants to attack, right.
And the thing about the Lakers is they don't have
collective versatility, meaning they can't play big ball like everybody
else can't. You know, Oklahoma City can play too big,
(25:16):
and Houston can play too big, and Minnesota can play
too big. All these teams, the Knicks can play too
big the Lakers can't. So the Lakers can't match the
Minnesota Timberwolves size or the physicality, and I don't know
what the Lakers can do about that. I feel like
for the Lakers to win, Luca, Lebron and Austin Reeves
(25:37):
has to get one of those each, one of those
guys that's in between twenty and twenty five, and they're
going to have to outscore by themselves the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Speaker 4 (25:48):
La I said the same thing, and Brandon, I hope
you listen.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
He's one of our crew. Me here, I said the
same thing to him.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
Adi, I said this the energy, the athleticism and the
just the tenacity is gonna be the trouble for that.
I said they were better off playing the Warriors because
then to me, it ends up it's just a Steph
versus Lucas so on and so forth. It's a scoring man,
you know, Jimmy versus Lebron, because they're not the best team,
they're not the biggest, and they're not that deep.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
The Warriors.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Minnesota's been playing great ball the last twenty twenty five games,
and they're just young athletic and they don't know any better.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
And that was the problem.
Speaker 8 (26:23):
Agree, But the thing with the Lakers is like if
they played small against most teams, that's their best line up. Yeah,
Minnesota can beat you both ways.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
Yep.
Speaker 8 (26:34):
They can play small and put Julius Random at the
five or nas Reed at the five. But then they
can also play big and say you know what that's
in hate. You're gonna have to keep Rudy Gobert off
the glass. Lebron, You're gonna have to match Julius Random's physicality.
And then somebody up there got a guard as ne networds.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
Good luck, good yeah, good luck.
Speaker 5 (26:53):
Let me ask you about okay, see and what they've
been doing, which is incredible. I mean people can continue
to doubt them. They played defense, which is a big thing,
and have all year and they just seem to just
blow people out. What do you make of them?
Speaker 11 (27:10):
For me?
Speaker 8 (27:11):
I mean they've been the best team in the West
all year. Oh yeah, and it comes down to game
one and through game eighty two? Is it is what
it is? Eighty three? Now moving forward, it's a different animal.
And when you start out and you beat a team
by fifty one, I think what Memphits is seeing is
(27:32):
what I had a chance to witness up close and
personal last year with that same Oklahoma City Thunder team
in the first round of the playoffs. Their defense is fierce.
Their defense is something else. They had issues last year
in the playoffs, and they exrected it because they didn't
have the physicality to match up with certain teams. Lively
and gafferd ate them apart last year. But you know
what they did. They went on to dress that and
(27:54):
got Isaiah Harden's time along with another excellent perimeter defender
and Alex Russo. The thing about Okay, see, they take
a lot of boxes, man, they check a lot of boxes.
I just think I want to see them. I want
to see how they are against And I don't mean
this in a disrespectful manner, even though it's gonna sound disrespectful.
(28:16):
A better opponent, yeah, I get it.
Speaker 4 (28:19):
No that that's fair to me, I do think.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
So I want to go to the East real quick.
Ad we looked at really good serious so far has
been fund has been competitive, the Knicks and the Pistons.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
But I was in the Hoskin Rod. What the heck?
Carlthony Towns.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
I know he's heard the criticism of the years where
he disappears for a while.
Speaker 4 (28:36):
No points in three shots. That can't be He's.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
Too good, he's too talented, and not to mention, he
has too many mismatches at times.
Speaker 4 (28:43):
What if you're if you're Tom Tibodau, Is this a
TIMS issue?
Speaker 1 (28:46):
Is this a Jalen Bronson for not being the orchestrator
of the offense outside of himself.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
What do you make of it?
Speaker 8 (28:53):
And it's funny because that's exactly what I thought, like
we can look at the coach and say, you know what,
you have to be able to put Carl Anthony Towns
on the box, because what they're doing is now they're
putting smaller guys on Carl Anthony Towns and taking away
he's catching shoot threes. So whether it's a Suer Thompson
or Tobias Harns or whoever it may be, they're putting
these guys on Karl Anthony Towns. Now, I understand Jalen
(29:15):
Brunton is probably going to be cuts Player of the Year,
but then there also has to come a point in
time where you realize you need Carl Anthony Towns. So
a lot of the isolation basketball on the going one
on one and the foul baiting and all that stuff
is cool, but sometimes as a point this is I've
always said that the point guard is not a skill set.
It's a mindset, and it's something that you think. It's
(29:38):
something that you see. If we're playing football and I
see a lineman lined up against a wide receiver, you know,
I'm calling the hot roof for that receiver because he
has the mythmats. But that doesn't happen. It's like it
comes to point where guys become concerned about themselves well
understanding that next are a much better basketball team when
Jalen Brunson is going and Carl Anthony Towns is going.
(30:01):
Because I can tell you what the Detroit Pittsons will
live with what happened last night, not just to win,
but the fact that Karl Anthony Towns was invisible the
entire second half.
Speaker 5 (30:09):
Last thing we got about a minute. The Pacers did win.
They're up too Oh what do you make of that series?
Were you picking the Pacers before this series? And I
know it's two home wins, not one you know, any
on the road, but still they're up to a too
old lead to start this series.
Speaker 8 (30:27):
This is a series where I actually picked Milwaukee. I
thought Dame was going to come back and be and
have a impact. I didn't realize they was going to
put him out there for forty minutes in his first
game back.
Speaker 4 (30:39):
That's crazy.
Speaker 8 (30:40):
It's a little different. This is a tough one because
you never know what you're going to get out of Milwaukee.
Milwaukee's tough to be that home. They're tougher to be
at home. You're going to get role players that play
better at home. Bobby Porter's played great today, but the
Gary Trent Junior is the Kyle Kuzmas. Those guys will
play much better at home than they did on the
(31:01):
road in Indiana. And then we'll see, we'll see if
you get a chance to tie it up to the
two game five coming back to Indianapolis. We'll see who
has the best player on the floor at that time
when Dame Lillard gets the Sea legs back.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
Yeah, well waiting right now? Maybe.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
And I do like you don't have to respond to
me out the time, but I will say, Adie, I'm
loving the spiciness.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
I'm seeing a lot of these.
Speaker 8 (31:21):
Series pop going at it.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
It makes me feel good. That's right, Eightie, Thank you

Who we got chaplain Chaplain Maddie.
Speaker 2 (32:54):
Oh chep c.
Speaker 4 (32:55):
That's why in Denver, you're the last call on the
odd couple. What's happening?
Speaker 11 (33:00):
Hey man, I just need to okay, Laker fan, listen, Okay.
The the Timberwolves have a new GM and name only
I think his name is Matt Wollod or something like that.
The senior vice president of basketball operations for the Timberwolves
built the last championship team for the Nuggets. So what
(33:23):
did he do when he went to Minneapolis. He built
a team to beat the Nuggets. So if that team
can beat the Nuggets, which they have like a clock
with a new battery all year long. Sorry Laker fan,
you guys, you guys got a fight on your hand,
you know what I mean. That's just that's just I.
Speaker 4 (33:40):
Mean, I think they do have a fight.
Speaker 5 (33:42):
I definitely if they're not prepared, if they get pushed
around on night.
Speaker 11 (33:49):
No, I mean they dude, I mean they they handle
the Nuggets like with no problems and so hey, I
mean I mean if I was a betting man. I
used to be. But if I bean, I'm leaning in
timberwolves and getting back to your original topic. That got
(34:09):
me interested. The best thing I ever did for myself
in life, other than create my daughter and marry the
Canadian in the other room, yes, was get off. So
it was get off social media. You don't need that crap, bro,
I mean, we did fine without it for centuries. We'll
do fine without it going forward.
Speaker 2 (34:29):
There you go from us.
Speaker 1 (34:32):
I don't think you're going to get it, absolutely totally
can understand why you would say that.
Speaker 5 (34:36):
And the Dodgers have come back. It's nine to seven yardgers.
Speaker 2 (34:39):
Well, I told you. I told you it's going to
spend a lot of time. But this is the way.
There's the winds and things are blowing to Chicago right now.
Speaker 5 (34:44):
You're just the top of the seven one out and
they have a runner on third this picture.
Speaker 1 (34:50):
How tall is he because he looks absolutely short, Yes,
and he's on a mound and he still looks short.
Speaker 4 (34:55):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (34:55):
And this is coming from to me. It's not like
I'm six foot now.
Speaker 5 (34:57):
The last thing I know, the commissioner was bragging auto
t ratings or whatever, which have been really good too
bad to games. A lot of them have been bad
and blowouts, like in the first round they were they were.
Speaker 6 (35:08):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (35:08):
You know, if you're I get it, if you're a
fan and you want to relax and not have to
be stressed about a game.
Speaker 4 (35:14):
But that's not the kind of games.
Speaker 1 (35:15):
I want to think we had a mixture. I do
think we want and I think we had some good performances.
You got blowed out. It was some blowedouts. It was
some blowdouts, for sure.
Speaker 4 (35:23):
You've heard that in the barbershop a few times.
Speaker 2 (35:25):
Without without a doubt.
Speaker 1 (35:26):
But I think also too we had you got a
good mixture these young upstart, these teams that are trying
to make Oklahoma City as we see. And also you
got your Warriors, you got your Lakers. So it's a
good balance of the new, the young, and uh. At
some point the Celtics will be in a a in
a series that we actually want to see, because right
now them in the magic ain't it?
Speaker 2 (35:44):
Right now?
Speaker 4 (35:45):
All right? Smith Show with Mike Harmon is coming up next.

Speaker 4 (01:31):
All right, Let's shift to baseball. A lot of stuff
going on.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Crazy game in Chicago.
Speaker 5 (01:36):
Right now, five to four, the Cubs leading, the Dodgers.
Yankees lost to the Guardians. And what other game do
we see? The met Mets care because it was two
to one the last time we saw it. So yeah,
a lot of baseball stuff going on. Basketball playoffs of
course as well. Okay, see it's a real game now.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
The game Memphis is hanging around.
Speaker 5 (01:57):
Eighty seventy with six minutes to go in the third,
and so there's a lot of stuff. But let's go
here again. Ronald Lacuna Junior, the Atlanta Braves star, and
he had an incident, No, I should say, he tweeted
about an incident that happened, and it uh rubbed a
lot of people right the wrong way. He actually took
(02:19):
down the tweet, but uh it sent a little shockwaves
through the uh Atlanta Braves clubhouse and team. And Bo
jump in and set the table for us.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (02:31):
So, uh, basically what happened is that Braves outfitler Jared
Kalenik thought that he had hit home run, he admired it,
did all that stuff, then he realized he needed to hustle,
got thrown out at second base. Braves manager Brian Sticker,
he was asked about it, said he shrug. He shrugged
it off, saying he didn't see clinic always hustles. He
didn't see it until it was representention, which drew the
(02:53):
ire of Braves out father Ronald Lacuney Jr. Who was
rehabbing and watching the game at home. Braves beat writer
Mark Men tweeted about Snicker's reaction, to which Ronill Kuni replied, Uh,
if it were me, they would have taken me out
of the game, which they have done previously.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Yeah, they've done it a couple of times throughout his career,
and they've done it to some other Latino Latin American
players as well. And that's where some people start to say, well,
was what coon you're saying?
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Is this true? When you start to look at it,
it's kind of fact.
Speaker 6 (03:22):
I think Acuna has said something too about you know,
Freddie Freeman and the way he treated him while he
was in Atlanta too.
Speaker 5 (03:28):
So right, yeah, And I'm gonna say this, if you
have a policy and no one is going to disagree.
I don't think anybody if you don't hustle, you should
be barked at and yelled at. And you know what
I mean, I disagree. Yeah, nobody disagreed. You got to hustle, man.
You're making millions of dollars. You're playing a kid's game.
All you do is run the ball out, right, You
(03:49):
hit the ball, run, run it out, run the first
somebody might drop it, somebody might uh, the outfielder might misplay.
Just run the ball out. That's all people are asking
to do. Not slide head first on a routine groundball
the first base.
Speaker 4 (04:01):
You know what I mean. Nobody's trying to act you
to get hurt or do something stupid.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
He rolls around right now, you know what?
Speaker 4 (04:07):
But you get me? Yeah, so so I just think,
but be insistent.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Was there? You go? What he was being asked to do?
Acuna Junior.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Any player being asked to do is part of the game, right,
It's part of checking the boxes. Did NAIs crossing teas
of baseball? And professionalism. Hey, you never know what's going
to happen.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
And even if.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Ninety eight point nine percent of time still cat, it's
part of being a professional in this sport. Uh, the
larger conversation starts to become Uh, it's twofold for me, Rob.
So the obvious one is to have a racial conversation, right,
that's the one that's sitting there. That's the one that
I don't know if Cuna Junior is insinuating. It seems
(04:48):
like he is, and I don't know if it's the
one that actually may be the case because a couple
of the references that have happened, uh were where Latin
American players were benched the game because of it, and
and the other examples where when white players did the
same thing, they were not it was kind of an excuse.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
All he didn't see it usually runs.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
So there is where the obvious race conversation comes into this.
Before I get to that, or even if to me,
one thing I will say also reputation. So I'm gonna
reserve one little bit of do I know how you practice?
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Do I know what you're doing?
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Where you know this as a teacher, as a mentor
or sometime. I know this as a mentor and also
a parent. Some people, if you called me and say, hey, man,
so and so he didn't do the most remedial routine
thing he's supposed to do, I'd be like, there he
go again. You know what I mean? This is I
keep trying to tell him not to do that. This
is what he always does. Whereas his other people they
(05:45):
do everything they're supposed to do their own time. They
do this, they work hard so that the time they
don't do it, you naturally offer them grace.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
Yeah, but I think so. I was trying to say, maybe, but.
Speaker 5 (05:57):
If you're gonna be consistent, like that's the big thing.
That's what people want, consistency so somebody doesn't hustle. And
Acunya has the right to be watching going wait a minute,
had I done that, it would have been World War three.
Speaker 4 (06:09):
And I get you.
Speaker 5 (06:11):
Talking about two time offender compared to a no time
offender or whatever. It doesn't mean that he can just
the manager flop it off and say well I didn't
see it. Well the video, well we're telling you that
this is what went on. And then well that's bad
(06:32):
on me because if he didn't run hard or run
it out. Then that's not what we do here in Atlanta.
I'm gonna have a talk on him. And the next
time that happens, you know what I mean, that's the conversation.
You have to just say I didn't see it and
and and make no big deal about it. When you
have a star like Acuna Junior feels like he's being
picked on. And then the idea even bringing up the
(06:54):
other Latin players, and that team does a lot of
Latin players. They do one thing you don't want to
do as a manager, the clubhouse off.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
And for what I'm gonna take to Twitter or you know,
so easily lets me know that maybe there is some conversation.
Speaker 4 (07:10):
That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Maybe there are some Hey man, you ever noticed our manager,
our skipper been uh doing things a little differently because
for him to just take to Twitter that easily, there's
frustration because when you're rocking with a coach, when you're
rocking with a manager, you kind of go, you know,
hey man, that's what coach wants. That's how we get down.
I needed to do the blah or meh blah blah blah.
You can you can make a reason because this is
(07:32):
how we do it. We're all connected with locked in.
This is a team, this is how we operate. But
when you easily can do that, that lets me know
you've been frustrated about some things, You've been observing some things,
and that was your final straw lie. Okay, look he
sitting down. He's sitting down. I'm sitting down. Why isn't
he and why is it the other guy that who
happened to be white? And I'm not saying this is
what happening, but hey, perception is reality, especially for a
(07:54):
Coonia junior who's playing and it's seeing this and like.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Coach, what's going on?
Speaker 4 (08:00):
So here's our conversation. Let's take it here.
Speaker 5 (08:03):
I'm with Ronal Lacuna junior all the way, like he
has a right of gripe because it's happened to him
and people have come down hard on him about not
hustling and all that, and you know that that's just
a rule. He got that with a Dodger, like they
didn't hustle whatever and all that. Here's where I break
camp with him. And this is where the age difference
(08:24):
between me and you probably factors in. I want to
have that conversation to talk about it. I don't know
if I have to broadcast everything on social media. That
shouldn't have to be the only outlet. Go to the manager,
Go to the general manager, talk, you know, talk it out,
say dude, I just want to know, well, what is
(08:45):
the what are you doing here? When I did it,
it was the end of the world. And now you
just say you didn't see it or you know you
didn't nothing happened.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
Why is that? Can you explain to me? Are we
all hustling or.
Speaker 5 (08:58):
Some people don't have to hustle and I would rather
be that And I even said to you earlier, It's
just like we live in this world where people don't
want to confront people have those conversations. How many guys
in their twenties or whatever or early thirties have never
asked a woman out, you know, like never had to
walk up to them and say hi, I'm rob and and.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
There's actual numbers there, you know, it's like I'm cool, crazy,
like forty some study just seemed really cool.
Speaker 5 (09:26):
I'd like to get to know you with any chance
that we could go out to grab a bite, get
a drink or whatever, and you had to do that,
and now guys are just swiping and sending a message.
Well if she doesn't answer back, net big next, go
to the next girl, whatever it is, and and they're
just it's unbelievable. And that's why that's the part where
I think Acuna could have handled it without just going
(09:47):
to social media, because he wound up taking a post out.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
And then we've who just deleted something the other day
We talked about you all the time, cheers with the
umpire cheers them had to delete. Like, so here's the thing, Rob,
And this is where I know I'm younger than you,
but I'm also older than Chisholm.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
I'm older than the Coune junior.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Right, I'm probably anywhere from you know, shoot, maybe twenty
years some of these guys senior, and that that's their default.
How many times have you seen this? Mary Mack are
you in there? You've seen this? Bo You've seen this
where people will be in an argument with somebody there.
(10:27):
It could be their boyfriend, their girlfriend, their their best friend,
it could be their sister or brother. They're five feet
away from each other, but they're texting the argument right.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
Literally, I can't believe you.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Oh, why would you say that, well, if you want
to do something, we get they're five feet ten feet
away from each other. It is just the handheld, this
ability to say things with I'm having to actually say it,
but I have having to make eye contact without having
to be comfortable in uncomfortable situations.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
That is where we are.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
So the default is, oh my gosh, I saw something,
let me rush to get it out.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
I can't believe you say that.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
TWEETEO two to two tweet Oh my gosh, I'm mad
at my coach tweet to tweet Me and my boyfriend
had an argument, uh post on Facebook break. I can't
believe he would do me like that. You know, my
mom gets someone of hers and it's just that's just
the day and age we're in. And if you look
at the advent of Facebook, that goes back to about
two thousand and seven ish, so now that is eighteen years.
(11:25):
A lot of these players twenty five, twenty eight, so
since they were five, six, seven, ten years old. This
is all they've ever known. When I'm frustrated, I vent
about it. I'm in love. I tell everybody about it.
I'm about to go get this new job. Before they
have the job on my way.
Speaker 4 (11:40):
To an internew. I just can't get over it.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
It's amazing, and I don't know how to change that.
I don't know what to do. I don't know how
to advocate for the young people say hey, you don't
have to expose all your business, tell all your business.
And I'm glad. I'm a hybrid. I'm young enough to
understand him and hip and can hang with him a
little bit. I understand what's what. But I'm old enough
to also remember when you didn't tell all your business,
when you did things, you let things happen before you
(12:03):
said they happened, they actually would. And so I say
that to say he absolutely should have walked right in
to the Skipper's you know office, and say, hey, look man,
I'm gonna be honest with you.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Me and a few of the guys, we're confused right now.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
We're not understanding why things aren't the same, why they
aren't apples to apples an equal because I did this
and I missed again.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
He did it.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
He missed again. He doesn't he doesn't get a game.
He doesn't, you know, get and you have a legitimate conversation,
and he might come down. It might come down to uh,
you don't be practicing hard enover. Oh remember that time
I told you about it before and then you did
it again. You might oh, shoot, that's right, I forgot
about that, or you might have an uncomfortable conversation and
that to perceptions you say, hey, we feel like us
(12:43):
as Latin Americans would feel like something's going on.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
But have it. You gotta have it, man.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
And to your point, I just we're losing that ability
to be look somebody eye to eye, man to man
and have these conversations in that dialogue and say, hey,
this is what I'm feeling, this is where I am.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
When we were coming up, remember they called it. I mean.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
I feel that da da da da dada, and I
feel uncomfortable with me. But but you had to have
those have those conversations. We're not have him now. The
first thing I do is take the Instagram and take
the Twitter, take the Snapchat, take the TikTok.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
And but put all your business out there.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
You know, only kids have gotten their parents in trouble
just because her parent parented.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
I'm doing an Instagram live. I can't believe my mom
or daddy. Yell let me right now.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
They told me I can't marry his pointing at me,
how right I am? I can't even leave. It's you're
a horrible mother right now, and they oversil what really happened,
and the parents get calls your child said you did this.
You're like, no, Yeah, I disciplined my child like I'm
supposed to do. It's a different ad and we didn't
want to get our parents, so we didn't want we
wanted to.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
Yeah, it's just different.

We're not debating on whether or not you know, acuon
you had to write to be upset about, you know,
one player not being disciplined, a pull from the game
benched when he was. It's about the way he showed
his frustration going to social media. Is it okay because
he's a younger guy and this is what he used
to or is it weak or lame that he's not
(14:10):
willing to have a face to face conversation or a
phone call or something where you confront and have a conversation.

How you let them do that to you, and they

address it.
Speaker 8 (16:36):

Speaker 9 (17:20):
Say on this subject, you know, I'm more of the
generation towards you, Rob and you know, be standing up
man to man but Calvin, it's nice to hear you.
You're kind of on that border, and it's nice to
hear that, you know, especially being a father with the daughters,
that that you kind of try to control that social
media and you know, there's there's a time for it
(17:42):
and there's a time not to. I mean, this guy
absolutely should have went in the office, been a man
and talked to the Boston said, hey, man, what's up
with this?
Speaker 4 (17:50):
Exactly? He has a point, don't you agree, Brian?
Speaker 2 (17:53):

Speaker 3 (18:11):
Good man?
Speaker 10 (18:12):
Yeah, man, I think he's wrong about it, But you.
Speaker 8 (18:15):
Just need to communicate.
Speaker 10 (18:17):
You just need to communicating with the office man. And
you know, I'm not about to hold social media and
stuff myself. I mean, yeah, I tryed out to have
my kids on it. I mean, my oldest was like eight,
so it's like, you know, I don't even expose to
that stuff right now. So he's heard that they have
to understand what he's supposed to be doing, you know.
Speaker 5 (18:33):
Right, And and that's that's your point, is well, taking
the phones a little appreciate you.
Speaker 4 (18:39):
That's about communication.
Speaker 5 (18:40):
But but there's a time and the place for for
having a a real conversation.
Speaker 4 (18:46):
It's the same thing.
Speaker 5 (18:47):
And I you know, like if somebody's asking you for
a favor, or something's going down or something, say that
they owe you something and they can't do it, you
don't text me.
Speaker 4 (18:55):
Just call me and let me know what's happening. That
that's all.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
You don't have to right, have to sub tweet me.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
You're talking about me, but without saying me just you
don't have to just come talk to me.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Hit me up. Hey, man, hey, you gotta quit.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
I've been feeling a certain way when you did this,
when you said that when blah blah blah, let's talk.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
Let's have a talk, man.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
And you know what's funny, so many times when you
have those conversations are uncomfortable conversations, you actually walk away
feeling better.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
Even in relationship.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
I look, and it's gonna be tight because our natural
human inclination is to be defensive, right, No, no, no,
I only get it because you But once you work
through that, hear the person out have a conversation. That's
why I just it's not you, it's me. You know, Hey, yo,
it's not stupid. Yeah, it's not you know. Actually it's
(19:46):
not just me. It's the other teammates too. That you're
sitting down, but you're not sitting certain teammates down. But yeah,
I think. But honestly, man, the the the documentaries, the thesis,
the says, the stories, the reporting, the all that's gonna
be done on social media, and it's gonna officially become
(20:09):
like cigarettes, like use at your own you know, as
you see fit, but just know it causes a lot
more harm and damage to you then you maybe thought,
and I think social media we're gonna start getting to
that place where these studies and these findings are there
where we see how detrimental it was for society.
Speaker 5 (20:25):
Like when people always you know, when I block people
on social media, it's basically for saying something that I
didn't say, or just you know, like calling me a name,
Like if you can't have a conversation, it's a sports.
We can disagree, but if I got right, Once you
get into that it's just an automatic block. And then
(20:46):
they don't understand why Rob don't want to take no quick,
no, no no. When you start out with you're an idiot,
there's no conversation. Seriously, I'm not this is my social media.
I'm not gonna read that or or get back at
you a call you a name, or you.
Speaker 4 (21:01):
Never see that. You don't see me doing that on
social do it.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
We've lost the reality, a sense of reality.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
People think, you know, they can just do anything, say
anything on social media. They've absolutely gone too far with that.
All right again, good conversation. I like that we can
have these conversations where uh, you know, involved might involve
race or be a little more difficult. We got Antonio
Daniels right around the corner, talk some hoops. We got
some games going on right now, the NBA postseason right now.
Speaker 4 (21:29):
Is going to give you the update.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
Can Yannis pull it through? Right now?
Speaker 4 (21:33):
We have you here that I'm muscle. Look every day,
I'm muscle. Look every day I'm muscle.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Antonio Daniels for re NBA players, seris ExM Pelicans, color analysts,
the hardest working man in show business and you can
follow them on x A Daniels thirty three eighty.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
What's up man?
Speaker 8 (21:56):
What's up? Fellas? I'm sitting it watching this game right now?
Yeah in Indiana?
Speaker 1 (22:01):
Come on, Giannis, you gotta make that what happened? They
blue the Las gonna put that one in? That was
a bad miss right there?
Speaker 8 (22:08):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (22:09):
I mean asked a d the question we asked earlier
Game seven anybody currently in the league?
Speaker 2 (22:16):
Ad who do you pick one gay? The guy?
Speaker 1 (22:19):
You say, as long as I got him, I'm happy
going on. I said I would take Kawhi Leonard. I said,
I've loved that answer, but I gotta go nuclear, Luca,
who would you.
Speaker 5 (22:28):
Take out of the current players?
Speaker 2 (22:35):
That's how we start.
Speaker 5 (22:37):
I already know Antony's gonna use this on serious tomorrow.
Speaker 8 (22:40):
Right that. That's a tough one. Game seven. I need
one win.
Speaker 4 (22:47):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
Finally, I don't know.
Speaker 5 (22:50):
I don't know anything else though, No, No, you don't
know anything else.
Speaker 4 (22:54):
You just like you just this guy on my team.
And I'm like, I don't want to be a prison
of the moment.
Speaker 5 (22:59):
But we all what Kawhi Leonard did last night, thirty
four points in thirty nine minutes and fifteen for nineteen
and we know We've seen this guy when he's healthy.
Speaker 4 (23:10):
Uh, Antonio, he's as good as it gets.
Speaker 8 (23:14):
Yeah, man, that's a toughy because you know the reason. Okay,
there's a reason I wouldn't take Luca, there's a reason
I wouldn't take your kitch. If I don't know anything else,
I have to have somebody I know that's going to
impact the game on both sides of the ball.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
Yep, that's my thought.
Speaker 8 (23:34):
So Kawhi is a good one.
Speaker 4 (23:37):
Yep.
Speaker 8 (23:38):
Uh, Jhanna's is a good one. The only thing with
Yannis is the whole free throw thing.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
That's a real thing.
Speaker 4 (23:46):
That's good, that is real, that is real, and that's real.
Speaker 8 (23:49):
Yeah, honest, man, I don't know. I had to get
back to y'all on that one.
Speaker 4 (23:54):
No, that's a real that's a real one.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
Yeah, you see.
Speaker 5 (23:57):
Can we talk about the Lakers and the importance? What
do they need to clean up? Because they were uninspired?
Left people open. You leave people open in the NBA.
You noticed, Antonio, you give me a freak a clean look,
you know, and you're lucky to get clean looks in
the NBA.
Speaker 8 (24:12):
But the thing is, here's my thing with the Lakers.
You know, I had the privilege with but my co
host Roperenz last week of interviewing Jimmy Busk for three
hours on our show Wow Wow, and I told her
at that time that I thought that the Minnesota Timberwolves
were the toughest matchup that the Lakers could face in
(24:32):
the first round out of anybody. They would give the
Lakers more problems in Oklahoma City than the Clippers than
anybody else because they are completely opposite of the Lakers.
Everything that the Lakers lack is Minnesota's strength. Yeah, so
I think it's easy to say, well, what do they
need to clean up? The thing is they have an
excellent one on one player in Ethny Networks. And you
(24:54):
know what, Luca and Lebron and Austin Reeves don't do
very well. They don't defend. So now Anthony Networks, he
can pick and choose who he wants to attack, right.
And the thing about the Lakers is they don't have
collective versatility, meaning they can't play big ball like everybody
else can't. You know, Oklahoma City can play too big,
(25:16):
and Houston can play too big, and Minnesota can play
too big. All these teams, the Knicks can play too
big the Lakers can't. So the Lakers can't match the
Minnesota Timberwolves size or the physicality, and I don't know
what the Lakers can do about that. I feel like
for the Lakers to win, Luca, Lebron and Austin Reeves
(25:37):
has to get one of those each, one of those
guys that's in between twenty and twenty five, and they're
going to have to outscore by themselves the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Speaker 4 (25:48):
La I said the same thing, and Brandon, I hope
you listen.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
He's one of our crew. Me here, I said the
same thing to him.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
Adi, I said this the energy, the athleticism and the
just the tenacity is gonna be the trouble for that.
I said they were better off playing the Warriors because
then to me, it ends up it's just a Steph
versus Lucas so on and so forth. It's a scoring man,
you know, Jimmy versus Lebron, because they're not the best team,
they're not the biggest, and they're not that deep.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
The Warriors.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Minnesota's been playing great ball the last twenty twenty five games,
and they're just young athletic and they don't know any better.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
And that was the problem.
Speaker 8 (26:23):
Agree, But the thing with the Lakers is like if
they played small against most teams, that's their best line up. Yeah,
Minnesota can beat you both ways.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
Yep.
Speaker 8 (26:34):
They can play small and put Julius Random at the
five or nas Reed at the five. But then they
can also play big and say you know what that's
in hate. You're gonna have to keep Rudy Gobert off
the glass. Lebron, You're gonna have to match Julius Random's physicality.
And then somebody up there got a guard as ne networds.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
Good luck, good yeah, good luck.
Speaker 5 (26:53):
Let me ask you about okay, see and what they've
been doing, which is incredible. I mean people can continue
to doubt them. They played defense, which is a big thing,
and have all year and they just seem to just
blow people out. What do you make of them?
Speaker 11 (27:10):
For me?
Speaker 8 (27:11):
I mean they've been the best team in the West
all year. Oh yeah, and it comes down to game
one and through game eighty two? Is it is what
it is? Eighty three? Now moving forward, it's a different animal.
And when you start out and you beat a team
by fifty one, I think what Memphits is seeing is
(27:32):
what I had a chance to witness up close and
personal last year with that same Oklahoma City Thunder team
in the first round of the playoffs. Their defense is fierce.
Their defense is something else. They had issues last year
in the playoffs, and they exrected it because they didn't
have the physicality to match up with certain teams. Lively
and gafferd ate them apart last year. But you know
what they did. They went on to dress that and
(27:54):
got Isaiah Harden's time along with another excellent perimeter defender
and Alex Russo. The thing about Okay, see, they take
a lot of boxes, man, they check a lot of boxes.
I just think I want to see them. I want
to see how they are against And I don't mean
this in a disrespectful manner, even though it's gonna sound disrespectful.
(28:16):
A better opponent, yeah, I get it.
Speaker 4 (28:19):
No that that's fair to me, I do think.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
So I want to go to the East real quick.
Ad we looked at really good serious so far has
been fund has been competitive, the Knicks and the Pistons.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
But I was in the Hoskin Rod. What the heck?
Carlthony Towns.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
I know he's heard the criticism of the years where
he disappears for a while.
Speaker 4 (28:36):
No points in three shots. That can't be He's.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
Too good, he's too talented, and not to mention, he
has too many mismatches at times.
Speaker 4 (28:43):
What if you're if you're Tom Tibodau, Is this a
TIMS issue?
Speaker 1 (28:46):
Is this a Jalen Bronson for not being the orchestrator
of the offense outside of himself.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
What do you make of it?
Speaker 8 (28:53):
And it's funny because that's exactly what I thought, like
we can look at the coach and say, you know what,
you have to be able to put Carl Anthony Towns
on the box, because what they're doing is now they're
putting smaller guys on Carl Anthony Towns and taking away
he's catching shoot threes. So whether it's a Suer Thompson
or Tobias Harns or whoever it may be, they're putting
these guys on Karl Anthony Towns. Now, I understand Jalen
(29:15):
Brunton is probably going to be cuts Player of the Year,
but then there also has to come a point in
time where you realize you need Carl Anthony Towns. So
a lot of the isolation basketball on the going one
on one and the foul baiting and all that stuff
is cool, but sometimes as a point this is I've
always said that the point guard is not a skill set.
It's a mindset, and it's something that you think. It's
(29:38):
something that you see. If we're playing football and I
see a lineman lined up against a wide receiver, you know,
I'm calling the hot roof for that receiver because he
has the mythmats. But that doesn't happen. It's like it
comes to point where guys become concerned about themselves well
understanding that next are a much better basketball team when
Jalen Brunson is going and Carl Anthony Towns is going.
(30:01):
Because I can tell you what the Detroit Pittsons will
live with what happened last night, not just to win,
but the fact that Karl Anthony Towns was invisible the
entire second half.
Speaker 5 (30:09):
Last thing we got about a minute. The Pacers did win.
They're up too Oh what do you make of that series?
Were you picking the Pacers before this series? And I
know it's two home wins, not one you know, any
on the road, but still they're up to a too
old lead to start this series.
Speaker 8 (30:27):
This is a series where I actually picked Milwaukee. I
thought Dame was going to come back and be and
have a impact. I didn't realize they was going to
put him out there for forty minutes in his first
game back.
Speaker 4 (30:39):
That's crazy.
Speaker 8 (30:40):
It's a little different. This is a tough one because
you never know what you're going to get out of Milwaukee.
Milwaukee's tough to be that home. They're tougher to be
at home. You're going to get role players that play
better at home. Bobby Porter's played great today, but the
Gary Trent Junior is the Kyle Kuzmas. Those guys will
play much better at home than they did on the
(31:01):
road in Indiana. And then we'll see, we'll see if
you get a chance to tie it up to the
two game five coming back to Indianapolis. We'll see who
has the best player on the floor at that time
when Dame Lillard gets the Sea legs back.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
Yeah, well waiting right now? Maybe.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
And I do like you don't have to respond to
me out the time, but I will say, Adie, I'm
loving the spiciness.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
I'm seeing a lot of these.
Speaker 8 (31:21):
Series pop going at it.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
It makes me feel good. That's right, Eightie, Thank you

Speaker 2 (32:54):
Oh chep c.
Speaker 4 (32:55):
That's why in Denver, you're the last call on the
odd couple. What's happening?
Speaker 11 (33:00):
Hey man, I just need to okay, Laker fan, listen, Okay.
The the Timberwolves have a new GM and name only
I think his name is Matt Wollod or something like that.
The senior vice president of basketball operations for the Timberwolves
built the last championship team for the Nuggets. So what
(33:23):
did he do when he went to Minneapolis. He built
a team to beat the Nuggets. So if that team
can beat the Nuggets, which they have like a clock
with a new battery all year long. Sorry Laker fan,
you guys, you guys got a fight on your hand,
you know what I mean. That's just that's just I.
Speaker 4 (33:40):
Mean, I think they do have a fight.
Speaker 5 (33:42):
I definitely if they're not prepared, if they get pushed
around on night.
Speaker 11 (33:49):
No, I mean they dude, I mean they they handle
the Nuggets like with no problems and so hey, I
mean I mean if I was a betting man. I
used to be. But if I bean, I'm leaning in
timberwolves and getting back to your original topic. That got
(34:09):
me interested. The best thing I ever did for myself
in life, other than create my daughter and marry the
Canadian in the other room, yes, was get off. So
it was get off social media. You don't need that crap, bro,
I mean, we did fine without it for centuries. We'll
do fine without it going forward.
Speaker 2 (34:29):
There you go from us.
Speaker 1 (34:32):
I don't think you're going to get it, absolutely totally
can understand why you would say that.
Speaker 5 (34:36):
And the Dodgers have come back. It's nine to seven yardgers.
Speaker 2 (34:39):
Well, I told you. I told you it's going to
spend a lot of time. But this is the way.
There's the winds and things are blowing to Chicago right now.
Speaker 5 (34:44):
You're just the top of the seven one out and
they have a runner on third this picture.
Speaker 1 (34:50):
How tall is he because he looks absolutely short, Yes,
and he's on a mound and he still looks short.
Speaker 4 (34:55):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (34:55):
And this is coming from to me. It's not like
I'm six foot now.
Speaker 5 (34:57):
The last thing I know, the commissioner was bragging auto
t ratings or whatever, which have been really good too
bad to games. A lot of them have been bad
and blowouts, like in the first round they were they were.
Speaker 6 (35:08):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (35:08):
You know, if you're I get it, if you're a
fan and you want to relax and not have to
be stressed about a game.
Speaker 4 (35:14):
But that's not the kind of games.
Speaker 1 (35:15):
I want to think we had a mixture. I do
think we want and I think we had some good performances.
You got blowed out. It was some blowedouts. It was
some blowdouts, for sure.
Speaker 4 (35:23):
You've heard that in the barbershop a few times.
Speaker 2 (35:25):
Without without a doubt.
Speaker 1 (35:26):
But I think also too we had you got a
good mixture these young upstart, these teams that are trying
to make Oklahoma City as we see. And also you
got your Warriors, you got your Lakers. So it's a
good balance of the new, the young, and uh. At
some point the Celtics will be in a a in
a series that we actually want to see, because right
now them in the magic ain't it?
Speaker 2 (35:44):
Right now?
Speaker 4 (35:45):
All right? Smith Show with Mike Harmon is coming up next.
Speaker 3 (35:48):
I never missed your radio show.
Speaker 4 (35:49):
