Speaker 1 (00:04):
It's the Andy Everage show on the ticket. Tristan Lawrence
has got some problems. I've yeah, breaking news, breaking news, Yeah,
it's the news is about me.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Yeah, what is this breaking major show announcement news Andy
that we have?
Speaker 1 (00:19):
Well, Uh, today I went online to Masters dot com. Yes,
and I applied for the ticket lottery. Oh you got
your rejection letter. L right, No, I haven't gotten the letter.
The rejection won't come until sometime in July. This is
about the tenth time I've tried. But maybe this is
the year. May have a chance. You're telling me there's
a chance.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
Somebody's manipulating that lottery and.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Agusta nobody ever thought that Rory would ever win the
Green jackets.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
Do you think it's like, uh, you know it's a
chance or is it?
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (00:46):
Do you need to know somebody? You know what?
Speaker 2 (00:49):
I'd say, there's a chance, But I have a feeling
that the uh, the the gentleman or lady that gets
that email, that sees that it's from one Andy Everett,
they're like, well, this guy just give it up up,
he's not gonna get it.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
It's spam. Since since since the spam.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
I want a lottery to get the old course tea
time this year, so you know, and Rory won the
Grand Slam, so we're.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
Two for two. So you're telling me there's a chance
there could be.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Yeah, well so what we They will let you know
and let me know via email in late July if
I've been anointed the right to purchase tickets, and here's
the deal. I can go to the Masters if I
want to spend five thousand dollars. But I'm not going
to the Masters for five thousand dollars. It's not that important.
But no, it's not. Practice round tickets are one hundred bucks.
(01:35):
And Wednesday practice round because of the Part three is
one hundred and twenty five and uh, competition days are
one sixty.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
That's a fair price for the Masters. I think, actually
think they went up. I think it's one seventy. No,
it's one sixty.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
I just said sixty because when Pat but I can
buy a cheese sandwich for like two bucks.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
The pimento penino, I'm no, it's gonna have to be
egg salad.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
I'm not going with pimitto cheese, our chicken salad or
something like that. Yeah, I'll just I'll splurge for three
dollars and have a hamburger there you go, here you go,
or have the what is it the ice cream sandwich.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Or whatever they have that, Yeah, they have those.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
So we'll see if But I did officially apply for
a master's tickets for next people, so we'll see if
if I'm in the anointed pool between now and then.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
By the way, real quick, why is the emblem a uh?
What is that? A chipmunk? Squirrel?
Speaker 1 (02:27):
I don't know what Oakma does. It's Pennsylvania, they do,
definitely there. I guess there's a lot of squirrels or
chipmunks or whatever that logo is in Pennsylvania.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
I guess I'll look it up.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
All right, Let's let's talk about tonight's game number four,
Oklahoma City and the Indiana Pacers. And people have not
given the Pacers a chance to beat Milwaukee and they did.
Didn't give them a chance to beat Cleveland and they did.
Didn't think they were going to beat New York and
they did, And they were the heavy underdogs against Oklahoma City.
And now they have a chance to put a stranglehold
(02:59):
on this conference in the NBA Finals Championship if they
can get the third win tonight, and go up three
to one. I don't think teams will lose elimination games,
So why is this important. I don't think that Oklahoma
City is gonna win a second game in Indiana.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
The Thunder need to win tonight.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
They need to go home next Monday and win, and
then the series gets evened up and we have a
Game seven for all the marbles in Oklahoma City, and
it should be fantastic basketball. I think the one thing
that the Thunder have to do, and if I'm Rick
Carlisle doing the same thing, I am gonna wear Shay
Gil just Alexander out by making him give up the
basketball and other guys are going to have to make shots.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
I think Oklahoma City.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Sometimes when they play poorly and they don't score, is
because they're standing around. They have a unique player in
shape and that he can as good as any player
I've seen, at least other than maybe James Harden. Where
he gets in the lane, he puts on the brakes
and he takes a step back and you're still going
backwards on the defense, and he gets just enough clear
(04:02):
as to get a mid range shot off. I saw
something else that was pretty interesting the other day too.
If you look at the greatest players of all time.
They could shoot the three, but they could also shoot
the two. And there's a lot of coaches that think
that mid range two point field goals ten fifteen footers
are wasted opportunities on offense.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
But look at you.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Know, the three point shot wasn't that big of a
deal in Magic and Bird and Jordan's era. It became
a little bit more popular in the Kobe era, and
then it became certainly the way it is in the
Steph Curry, Lebron and the era that we're currently in.
But all those players I just mentioned have the ability
to get to the rim and have the ability to
(04:43):
get in the lane and the paint and shoot a
mid range shot. And not that that's what Steph Curry's
going to be remembered for is ridiculous.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Three point shooting is, But.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
I'm I like the fact that they can hit twos,
and Shay can hit twos, and Halliburton can hit twos,
and if you leave them unguarded, they're going to hit threes.
One of the guys that I think Oklahoma City really
needs some work fro him tonight is Dort. Dort's a
good three point shooter, and he needs to when he
gets open, he needs to take advantage of it. And
then Jayale Williams can get to the basket. And they
(05:14):
also need a little bit more out of home grin.
This is going to have to be a team effort.
It can't be Shay scores forty and we win. Shay's
gonna have to score low thirties maybe, and then see
if somebody else can pick up the rest of the slack.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Yeah, you know, I've been a little critical with Chat.
He's a few games he's had a good either first
quarter or first half and then just kind of disappears
in the second half. I think he had either I
want to say it was like fifteen in game this
past game to or know what was it, game two,
game two?
Speaker 3 (05:48):
I think game two or game three.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
I can't remember where he had like twelve or fifteen
in the first quarter.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
And then actually finished with twenty.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
But it's like, when you get out to that such
get out to that good start, it's hey, all right,
maybe he's gonna have twenty five thirty points and he
just I say this half heartedly, he just kind of
disappeared for twenty points.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
But when you're talking about the mid range shot.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
It made me think back to I think it was
was it last series of the series before where former
Spur Rudy Gay tweeted out a video in the playoffs
and he's like, does anybody not know?
Speaker 3 (06:26):
Does nobody know how to take a mid range shot?
Speaker 1 (06:29):
I think one of the things is if you are
like Boston, Boston is predicated by shooting threes, and in
the regular season, we just don't care enough about the
regular season to allow the defense to force people off
the three point line.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
We care well, the league doesn't.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Care, and so and there's so many games, and there's
so little practice time, and there's so little time for video.
You're basically just trying to get in as much practice
time as you can. You're doing a lot of voluntary
shooting drills in a shoot around or a practice.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
You're probably going over.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
You're probably using the hotel ballroom to run a few
plays here and there that the other team runs that
you can just familiar what rise yourself with. When you're
playing four games a week, the most important thing is rest.
And so you're not gonna wear your team out by
getting him in practice on days where that they could
be resting. However, they choose to do the rest and
so you just don't have time for that. So there's
(07:24):
gonna be a lot of games where the three point
shot is gonna determine games. But in the playoffs, if
your best shot is a three point shot, everybody is
gonna try to run you off of off the three
point line. And if you can't run off, if you
can't get inside the three point line and make a shot,
then you're gonna probably lose.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
It's kind of like Ben Simmons getting left open, not
more than two feet away from the basket, wide open,
and he's like, what the heck am myself?
Speaker 3 (07:50):
I'm not supposed to shoot from I'm not supposed to shoot.
I'm only two feet away. All I have to do
is just lay the ball up.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Nope, can't do that too freight yep or well, Ben
Simmons is got other problems other than can't shoot five footers.
But nonetheless, there's just too many The good players can
do everything, and if you're gonna not, if you're gonna
make me shoot a two, I'll take the two and
then I'll go get the ball from you on defense
and I'll run you off the three point line as well.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
By the way, did you know that the logo for
Oakmont was actually introduced in nineteen sixty two. That's why
it's the squirrel, squirrel, There's no reason why. It's just
that's why they decided to do something along the line.
When my USGA membership got me a hat which I
can't wear because it doesn't fit me, it has I
saw the logo, so I'm familiar with it. It's just something
(08:37):
that it's largely because of the trees that's once filled,
the property provided a perfect sanctuary for the nut hoarding root.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
Look what they did, They changed the golf course and
the squirrels left very amazing.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
All right, we'll talk about Charles Barkley, we'll talk more golf,
cowboys discussion and more.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
I'll straight ahead. It's the Andy Everage Show. From the
ticket
It's the Andy Everage show on the ticket. Tristan Lawrence
