Speaker 1 (00:36):
The Timmpuffs welcome in the beginning of another night of
the Ben Mahler Show. We are in the air everywhere
birds of a feather is. We have a seat, maybe
even the best seat, which is good as all the

rest in the house this coast, the coast, border to

of fsre ammundating live from the bracket as we level
up right there, higher in the bracket, as we are
hanging out here at the Fox Sports Radio Studios studios,

be So are lead this hours from the pro bouncy
Ball playoffs will start at skid Row. Think of La,
you think of Hollywood, you think of glitz and glamour.
The Lakers play on skid roll? How appropriate is that?
A total dump down there in downtown La. Anthony Edwards
and the Timberwolves looking to take a two to zero lead,
(02:07):
win another game on the road and take pretty much
complete control of Hukah. Luca and the Lakers. And I
don't know if you're watching this game or not, maybe
maybe not, but Luca he had a good stat line,
a little misleading thirty one points, twelve rebounds, and nine assists.
And the Lakers there was anything they did. The Minnesota
(02:30):
team came out sluggish and the first round series now
even up. As it was a game that should not
have been that close, and Minnesota played one of the
worst games, and yet they still ended up only losing
by nine points in this game. In Game two, Lebron
a non impressive twenty one points. Austin reeves at sixteen
(02:53):
for the Lakers, who won a chippy chippy game here
in game two. So let us discuss the question, how
do you explain the juxtaposition for the Timberwolves between game
one and game number two. So I've got lowercase wheel
of fortune and the ruminators, and we will combine all
(03:17):
of these things together, and we're gonna make a big
bucket of buttered popcorn, is what We're gonna make, Just
a big giant bucket of a buttered popcorn. So a
Minnesota had a great opportunity, like they were given a
cash cow. And as long as you keep the cash
cow alive and you give the cash cow plenty of
(03:39):
food and make sure it's out of the elements, you're
gonna make a lot of money because the cash cow
is just gonna keep giving cash. And they got the
cash cow and they took it right to the butcher shop.
They said, here, let's drop it off right at the
butcher shop and we'll make some ground beef out of
the cow. We're gonna take the cow, the cash cow,
and we're gonna just drop it off right there at
the butcher and that's what they did here Mayett. Maybe
(04:02):
they were stuck in traffic. Maybe that was it. The
rush hour traffic there, gridlock and whatnot. It was a
very messy first quarter for Minnesota, and I think for
most NBA fans it was disappointing. I an't want wants
the Lakers to win. Minnesota really the people's team in
this series here. But Anthony Edwards, who was fined fifty
(04:22):
thousand dollars, but yet in this game for comments he
made that were recorded on a granny cell phone. But
Anthony Edwards did not play with that big D energy.
This was more lowercase D from Anthony Edwards in the
beginning of the game. And he was the word I
will use is bedraggled at the start of the game,
(04:44):
mostly on the defensive set. It wasn't just just him,
but he's the two hundred million dollar player. He likes
to tell you about that, he loves to tell how
big Johnson is. And yet he went out there and
was very small early in the game. And it was
a Mattador performance early on oah hoa a Matador defense
had a minus nineteen while he was on the court
(05:08):
in the first quarter. Now, I didn't play in the NBA.
I don't think that's good. I just do an overnight show.
I don't think that's particularly good. Talk about setting the tone.
It was a slack job, slack job performance. Minnesota was
lumbering the entire night for the most part. I mean,
there were a couple of stretches halfway decent, but it
(05:28):
was mostly a lumbering performance by the Timberwolves. Here they
failed to capitalize on yet again, was a lot of
wide open looks. I mean, this is this is pretty crazy.
An NBA team in the playoffs is getting this many
wide open opportunities as the Lakers just are not a
good defensive team, and they've seen we've seen that now
in the first two games of the plass was a
(05:49):
feeble effort by Minnesota offensively considering how many open shots
they had. Now turning the page number of you have
pointed out to me via social media and email, you've
said it's all over now the Lakers have turned things on.
So have Hookah Lucas Lakers flipped the switch? Have they
flipped the switch? Now? They won Game two at home
(06:10):
and all that, And so when you do a cross
a cross benefit analysis, and you look at everything here.
I'm gonna use the wheel of fortune and I'm gonna
I'm gonna have an end. Can I buy an Oh?
Can I buy? I have an end? Can I buy
an Oh? That would be a no. No would be
the answer, because when you look around here, you knew
the Lakers were going to come out and play with
(06:33):
more gusto. Right they were. They were panted in game one,
absolutely embarrassed, looked like they didn't even belong in the
playoffs in game one. So they came out they had
more intensity and all that so fine. Okay, that lasted
a quarter, but that was enough. The Lakers jumped out.
They had a twenty two point lead at the beginning
of this game. Here Luca sixteen points early on, and
(06:58):
that was mostly taking advantage of multi time defensive player
of the Year who becomes off of the liability in
the playoffs in Rudy Gobert. But yet when things calm down,
I was not impressed. I mean, I don't know that
anyone that knows ball thinks the Lakers looked all that good.
So I don't know how you can take that as
(07:19):
a quality performance by the Lakers. The finger biting time
has arrived in La La, La La Land. You look around.
I would argue that's a bad win for the Lakers
because it gives them false confidence to think that they've
somehow fixed something when they haven't. They haven't fixed anything.
Minnesota was frazzled on offense. It was not a case
(07:44):
where they were frazzled because of shut down defense by
the Lakers. Keep in mind, the Lakers have only really
played well in the first quarter of both games. Outside
of that, Minnesota has dominated the rest of the game,
and even in Game two. Even in Game two, Minnesota
and we talked about it, we've documented it here. They
came out, they sold their pants in the beginning of
(08:06):
the game there and just dreadful. And yet despite all
those wide open mishots by the ten rules, they still
were within nine points midway through the fourth quarter. How
emasculating is that for the Lakers. Minnesota played one of
the worst games and they were within nine points, and
(08:28):
the Lakers have some explaining to do on their offense.
You look around here, Now, what is my supporting evidence
to back that claim up that the Lakers this is
a misleading win. This is a it's a bad win
because it gives the Lakers false confidence, which is actually
good for Minnesota, and people want to see the Lakers lose,
which I think most people do. The Lakers over the
final thirty six minutes as a team shot forty one
(08:52):
percent for the last three quarters of this game, and
they shot eleven percent. I had to double check my
malor math on that. I thought maybe high had f
that up. They attempted eighteen to three point shots from
the second quarter to the end of the game, and
they made two of them. I didn't even know that
(09:13):
was possible. They were two of eighteen. It's eleven point
one percent over the final thirty six minutes. But wait,
there's more. Luca shot thirty eight percent over the rest
of the game and Lebron was at thirty seven percent.
So Minnesota's defense when I'm trying to tell you, it's
a very worthy way of saying that Minnesota's defense was
(09:33):
on point. The issues they had were early on. They
just were not quite there to start there. And despite
Luca and Lebron, the Wolves. They get the headline there,
but the Wolves boxed up the Lakers. There was a
seven minute, seven minute drought where the Lakers didn't score
(09:55):
a field goal. Seven minutes. They went seven minutes in
the fourth court at home in a playoff game. Holy crap,
they blow seven minutes at home against Minnesota with outscoring
a field goal. And I know you're not supposed to
say this part because you know it's protected interest in
(10:15):
all it, anyone else think Lebron James is cooked. Lebron
through two games of this series right now, in this moment,
looks absolutely old man, old man Lebron. He's taken now
thirty seven shots in the first two games to score
forty points. Thirty seven shots to score forty points. That's Lebron,
(10:39):
that's old man Lebron. Well, I guess he's got to
get some of that that good stuff, you know what
I'm saying. I mean, as you got whatever magic Pixie does,
Lebron can get his hands on. That ain't gonna get
it done. That is not gonna get it done. Thirty
seven shots for forty points. The Lakers are not winning
this series. If that is how this is going to go,
They're doomed. It's over all right now, last words, So
(11:02):
what do you expect looking at this again wide angle
lens here, what do you expect going forward? As we're
one one is the best of five series. Minnesota has
home court advantage now and so they'll go back to
the twin season. A couple of days in this series
will continue in the Wolves. As long as they just
win at home, they'll win the series in advance to
the second round of the playoffs. So here's what I expect.
(11:24):
I expect. The extended dance remix is what I expect.
We do know that the league would like the Lakers
to win. Television would like the Lakers to win because
there's a lot of dumb people that like the Lakers
and low information fans, so they want the Lakers to win.
And so if it's going to be called fair, everything
(11:44):
is on the up and up. Minnesota should win. Do
I think that's going to happen. I'd be surprised. I'd
be surprised. And it also comes down to the rather
manic behavior of the Timberwolves here. It's like the Room
and the Tune Mister Bubbles, because the Minnesota Timberwolves are
(12:05):
not in the bubble of trust. They are the more
talented team from top to bottom than the Lakers. Most
people would agree with that. Lebron's old Luca doesn't play defense,
so they've got more talent, but you don't trust them.
You don't trust them to perform there. They're a bipolar team.
There's extreme highs, extreme lows. But the fact that they've
been able to completely lock down the Lakers and hold
(12:28):
them to ninety five and ninety four points on their
own court, on their own court through the first two games.
And we know that generally speaking, the role players perform
much better when they are at home, so that bodes
well for Minnesota. Guys like well Nasried actually played well,
and some of these other guys did play well in
(12:49):
game one, but I did not play well in game two.
And Dante Ncenzo, yeah, you also another guy you circle there.
So going back to Minnesota, those guys should all play
better at home. And you got ron looking old Lakers
really only playing well one quarter each game. This is
looking pretty good for Minnesota. They've already done what they
(13:09):
wanted to do, which was still one game in LA.
Now they just have to win the games at home.
Speaker 2 (13:13):

Speaker 1 (13:22):
A couple of years back, they had fear the deer.
Now they're just roadkill, is all. They are. Welcome. In
the beginning of another hour of the Ben Mahlor Show.
We are in the air ey BFFs, as we catch
(13:43):
the perfect audio wave coast to coast, border the border
in beyond on the vast and herculeanley powerful microphones of
FSR amminating live from the level as we level up

(14:03):
Radio studios where years ago, before he sold out and
became an honest family man, Anthony and Anaheim would occasionally
pay us a visit. But he's all grown up now.

Speaker 2 (14:37):
Me.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
Yes, absolutely all right, So our lead this hour from
pro Bouncy Ball. We'll get back to the Lakers and
the Timberwolves. Bad win for the Lakers. Talk more about
that later, but our lead this hour from the Eastern
Conference side of the bracket. The early game. This was
the game that where the Dunce cap. It was on
NBA TV, which is where you do not want to be.
(15:00):
You don't want to be on NBA TV. That's the Hey,
you're the ugly, redheaded stepchild of the playoff schedule. We'll
put your game on there. So it was opening around action.
We'll start out in Indianapolis where Dame Lillard, Dame Time,
all those big shots with the Trailblazers back in the day.
So Dame Lillard returning to the Bucks and they were
(15:20):
looking to even things up in Game two and steal
home court advantage away from the Pacers. So not sure
if you were a witness to this, let me tell
you something. I care about you. Okay, I could have
gone out and done stuff. I could have had a life.
I sat on my ass. I risked getting hemorrhoids to
(15:40):
watch all these stupid games. Here we are, all right.
So Pascal Siakam, who as long as he plays, I
will smile when I hear the man's name. And if
you're a real p one of this show, you know
why we love Pascal Siakam. It's our friend Marcel and Brooklyn.
But anyway, Pascal Siakam, I make sure I say that right.
Twenty four points, eleven rebounds and a crucial three pointer
(16:06):
in the late stages of that game, and that was
the thing that sparked that final flurry, if you will,
for the Pacers, while Tyrese Halliburton more on him in
a minute, twenty one points, twelve assists as Indiana gets
past Milwaukee won twenty three to one fifteen the final.
(16:26):
The Pacers are now just two wins away from ousting
the Bucks and doing that again. If you've seen this before,
you have, you're not imagining that you have seen this before.
Indiana has now won five of the last six playoff
games between these teams, and they led this one wired
(16:46):
to wire from zero zero to end of game, from
beginning to end, the whole thing there. Now the better story.
You know where the better story is. That's right, the
losing locker room. So that is where we go. Better story.
So let's discuss who do you blame for the Greek
freaks Bucks digging a giant hole in this series with
(17:10):
the Pacers. Who you blame who you blame. So I've
got jukebox, headliner, and rubber ducky, and we will combine
all of these things together and we are going to
make cotton candy, which is what the Milwaukee Bucks defense
was like cotton candy in this particular game. So numb burn.
Can I get a numb burn? A lot of blame
(17:34):
cheese curds to go around. And it's not so bad
when you play Milwaukee and you lose, because cheese curds
are delicious. So a lot of blame cheese curds. Now,
this Milwaukee team was man handled in the early part
of the game. They were absolutely manhandle Now they got
back into the game, but they never fully recovered. Similar
(17:57):
to what happened in that Laker Minnesota game. Similar situation,
like the Lakers came out, jumped out, and Minnesota didn't
play all that well, yet they worked their way back
in Milwaukee didn't play all that well. They were better
offensively and they worked their way back into the game,
but for the most part, the defensive side of things
(18:18):
bad to the bone. Bad to the bone. And if
you were to crank up the jukebox, which some places
still have, you don't really need it now because you
got that on your phone. But if you crank up
the old music box there, the pure rock tune would
be Robert Palmer's back in the day, Doctor, Doctor, give
me the news. They got a bad case of loving
(18:38):
hating you, and that would be Doc Rivers. What up, Doc? Yeah? Oh,
it's so great. The fact that Doc Rivers has been
able to bounce around the NBA as a carpetbagger is
wild considering how terrible his teams perform in the playoffs.
The most improbable championship of my lifetime. A lot of
(19:01):
people say it's the Detroit Pistons when they didn't have
a superstar and they beat the Lakers in the NBA
Finals back in the early two thousands. No, the Doc
Rivers coached Celtics that Paul Pierce and Ray Allen and
Garnett and those guys could win with this dead rate,
this absolute deadweight. Doc Rivers on the sidelines is fascinating.
(19:23):
And Doc is a maestro of strategic missteps in the playoffs,
and yet again we saw Milwaukee was dazed and confused.
Doc is the seasoned, veteran coach who's supposed to have
all the answers he had none, He had none, right,
no way to control that. The Pacers coming out, you
know how they're gonna play, Eve and I who never
(19:45):
played in the NBA and just sit here behind microphones
and criticize people. I knew how the Pacers were going
to play, fast paced, in your face and transition offense.
All of that right, and the transitioned offense the whole
the whole bang and Indiana capitalizing on the sleepy D,
(20:06):
the sleepy D of Milwaukee. Doc Rivers rotations now they
always blow and I know this first hand as Doc
Rivers killed the Great Lob City Clippers, most exciting team,
most popular team in the NBA, they didn't win, and
there are multiple reasons to Chris Paul joke artist Blake
Griffin didn't come up big in big games with Doc
Rivers the common denominator in those teams and really most
(20:30):
of the teams that blow it. So Doc's rotations have
always been an issue, and what he has always been
consistent about he falls in love with certain players who
are his favorites, like the teacher's pet. You know you're
in school, right you at that one little useless little
girl annoying girl that sucks up to the teacher and
(20:52):
very annoy Everyone hated her anyway, so that teacher's pet.
In basketball with Doc Rivers, there's a certain starters. They're
not playing well, they're underperforming, but yet Doc likes them.
So Doc continues to leave them in. He insists on
giving them a high volume of minutes and does not
(21:13):
give other people the opportunity. Who are in this in
this is you look around here, players that you leave
on the bench, who do you play? Is it you know,
like Kevin Porter Junior, Bobby Portous, Guys like that you
can mix in. And as for the other blame factors
in this game for the Milwaukee Bucks, he got Dame
(21:35):
Lillard who did return from a blood caught issue. And
Dame time was not game time. No, he was not.
This was not vintage Damian Lillard. He was forcing tough shots,
even the Greek freak who did have good sexy stats.
If you're just a box score reader and you're just
(21:57):
observing the box score like you're looking at out in
the wild, and you look at the boxer, Oh, the
stats are good. I'm not gonna go full on hero ball,
but it did appear for stretches of this game for
the Milwaukee Bucks that it was pretty much get the
ball to Jannis ident to Coombo and whatever he does,
that's great. And you'll freeze out Dame Willard and it's
(22:19):
all about him. You're not facilitating the offense and you're
not getting everyone involved in that. And you also struggled.
Johanna's struggling to contain Pascal Siakam there as well. Now
we have some Doc Rivers audio. Let's go to the
audience tip. So we have Doc Rivers here, and one
thing Doc has been very good at over the years
(22:40):
is knowing exactly what to say when his teams lose,
because they always lose. They always lose playoff games. Listen up,
buck fans, what Doc's about to say. We've heard a
million times over the years. Here's Doc Rivers on his
team falling behind and everything's gonna be okay.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
Let's see, I'll look at it as a long series.
You know, we haven't played a home game. Yeah, so
it's almost like two and eight. And someone said, you know,
no one makes the playoffs with their two and eight,
But you know it's the same thing to me, right,
we have to go home and take care of business
and then then we get talk.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
He recorded that with a mister microphone, by the way,
mister microphone from the nineteen eighties or seventies anyway. So
there's Doc haven't played a home game number. Doc wanted
credit for his team's blowing three games to one leads.
Now the good news is that the Bucks will not
be blowing a three games to one lead in this series.
Here's more from the Bucks coach. Here is Doc Rivers
(23:36):
pointing out, believe it or not, there's actually a lot
of good stuff for Milwaukee losing and never having the lead.
Take a list.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
I liked how we'd played tonight overall, and it should
have shout the ball better, could have moved the ball
even better.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
So I like where we're tracking.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
Yeah, I like how we bet we didn't have a
lead for a second. Man, that's good bet basketball. Oh God,
the fact that this guy keeps getting gigs these How
dumb are these billionaire owners of these basketball teams? Mike
get These are some of the stupidest people out there.
They want they buy a basketball team because they want
everyone to talk about them, right, Why else would you
(24:15):
buy a sports team if you're rich you can be
rich and not have people talk about you. There's a
lot of rich people no one talks about. They just
hang out in you know, West Palm, or they hang
out in Beverly Hills or on Long Island. Nobody even
knows who they are. You buy a sports team because
you want to be talked about, and then you hire
the I can't even say what I want to say
(24:35):
as the coach. Oh my god, all right, now, turning
the page. So the Pacers won and the final they
led from beginning to end and all that. So the
story here is not so much about the game. It's
a survey that was done where NBA players voted Tyrese
Halliburton as the most overraded, over raided player in the
(24:57):
entire league. Did see a spicy SoundBite from Rick Carlyle,
the coach of the team there in Indiana, who was
defending his guy, pursing and getting all worked up. He
was worked into a ladder, and there were other people
running to defend tyree Celiburton. So the question is you
are the voted by your peers, by the This is
(25:18):
NBA players, This is not the media, this is not fanboys,
This is the actual contemporaries of you. It's like if
I was voted the largest gas bag by radio people,
that would be amazing. So this led to a lot
of anger. In fact that we have that audio. Here's
Rick Carlyle. Listen to Rick Carlile, stand by your man.
(25:40):
Here take a list. Yeah, I heard about this.
Speaker 4 (25:43):
And the other guys on the list were Jimmy Butler
and Giannis.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
All right, and I want to.
Speaker 4 (25:47):
See I want to see the guys faces that voted
those guys. I want to see the faces of those guys.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
Right, this is a pole.
Speaker 4 (25:58):
Not let everybody even answer in the poll. Guys were
able to answer if they wanted to. They were asked
on camera or with a microphone.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
The whole thing is okay, and it's just really it's really.
Speaker 4 (26:11):
A shameful thing. It's just a shameful thing.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Yeah, all right. So keep in mind that in the survey,
there are roughly four hundred and fifty players in the NBA.
Ninety people respond. That is twenty percent. You know, when
they do presidential polling and they're like, hey, who do
you think is going to be the president? Team Red,
Team Blue, they don't survey twenty percent of the United
(26:38):
states to decide who's going to win the election. So
in many ways, Rick Carlisle is completely wrong. Now, listen,
he's got skin in the game. He's paid by the Pacers.
That's his guy. I totally get that he would defend
Tyree Saliburton. But in terms of the actual polling, it
is really good. Like twenty percent is a massive number,
(26:58):
a massive number when you think about what other surveys
are done. But in terms of what does it mean,
it means that Tyreeve Saliburton is the headliner at the
bitterness ball of other NBA players, Like the players believe
that Halliburton is the hype that this cat gets exceeds
(27:21):
his production. It's kind of obvious. Now, remember I've said
this for you. Overrated does not mean bad. It just
means you're not as good as people think you are.
Derek Jeter overrated in Major League Baseball, right, Peyton Manning
overrated in the NFL. There's a lot of players that
are perceived to be great, but they're overrated. Now, I'm
not comparing Tyree Saliburton to Derek Jeter and Peyton Manning.
I'm just merely using that as an example that you
(27:43):
can be productive and be considered good. But you're still overrated.
So the players think he's a tiger, a paper tiger.
Tyreese Saliburton Indiana last year won on a playoff run,
and a lot of people believe that's counterfeit. The players
think that the Pacers got too much credit. Haliburton got
too much credit last year in the playoffs. They beat
the Bucks. Be honest, was out if I remember correctly,
(28:03):
they beat the Knicks. A bunch of guys in the
Knicks were hurt in that playoff run. So it's not authentic.
And the bigger problem is Halliburton is a mosquito. He
is a pest. He is kind of a goofy dude.
He talks trash, memory taunted Dame Lillard, used the Dame
Lilard celebration in the playoffs, and so that annoyed Dame Lillard,
(28:27):
and he irritates people. He's seemed like he's kind of corny.
You know, guys don't like that. He's like, it's just
there's a lot of stuff going on all right now.
Final point. We quickly we go to Oklahoma, oh Colahoma,
the dust Bowl where Kyrie's ok C Thunder not Kyrie
Irving the other Kyrie, he's a p one and my
guy Kyrie, he's the only guy that regularly corresponds with
(28:49):
this show who loves the Thunder. So we have one
guy who's a Thunder fan that regularly corresponds with the show, Kyrie.
So Shay gilgis Alexander twenty seven points and oh, Oklahoma
City domination situation. They win one, eighteen to ninety nine.
They have a two to nothing lead over the grizz
in that series one versus eight. Oklahoma City opened up
(29:12):
on a nine to zero run and held Memphis without
a point for the first three and a half minutes
of the game. The Grizzlies proving that Game one was
not a fluke, as they came into this game fourteen
and a half point underdogs, and they missed their first
ten shots. Clankety clank. It was a brick house, it was.
(29:34):
And so that's if you're keeping track here, that means
Memphis has been outscored by seventy or if you look
at it from the other perspective, Oklahoma City is plus
seventy plus seventy in these first two games. So with
that being said, some have pointed out wait a minute,
you're talking about the Lakers. The Clippers would about shake
yogas Alexander, So should shake gilgis Alexander's thunder be getting
(29:57):
more credit for the epic historical beatdown of the Grizzlies.
So my response on that is two words, no way,
no way. And here's why the Grizzlies. And I did
watch some of this game, not much because why would I.
But when I was watching early on in this game,
(30:18):
the Grizzlies have already checked out. It's one, two three,
can kuon? Is what it is here? They're in zombie mode.
John Morant right now is going to he's getting ready
when they get back to Memphis. Jaw's going to get
out his imaginary air pump and he's going to blow
up his imaginary rubber ducky. Because the Memphis Grizzlies are
(30:40):
floating on the lazy river is what they're doing in Wausers.
They do not have the competitive spirit, they do not
have the fighting spirit here. If you put an honest
effort in, you don't get blown out. Now, as far
as shay Yogis Alexander is concerned, he hasn't been good.
That's the shocking thing about this. The thunder of won
by seventy points in these first two games combined, and
(31:03):
Shay Gogus Alexander is shooting thirty three point three percent
that's the sign of the devil from the floor and
twenty three and a half percent from three point range,
so he has not been good at all. But the
thunder are up to all and they better enjoy all
these wins because they'll be losing to the Clippers in
the second round of the playoffs.

Colts GM Chris Ballard indicated on Monday that the team
isn't opposed to drafting a quarterback this year and even
added he quote absolutely could take a quarterback and pick
number fourteen if there's a player we deem is worthy
of it. Ben, do you believe him?
Speaker 1 (31:49):
Cub I think the GM of the Colts is trying
to star in a remake of a movie you were in. Liar, Liar, Okay, listen,
I don't believe in the first of all, look at
the draft, there's like no quarterbacks that should even be
drafted in the first round. There will be, but look
at the talent coming in. They're not first round quarterbacks.
So why would the They already have two suck back
(32:11):
quarterbacks in Richardson and Daniel Jones, So I don't believe him.
Speaker 5 (32:15):
Next, Adam Schefter reported on Monday that the Denver Broncos
are one of only a few teams that are willing
to trade up in this draft. Some speculate they could
go for the Cowboys number twelve pick to secure Texas
wide receiver Matthew Golden.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
Yeah, bend, he think Golden is a talent worth trading
up for, but he is projected as a first round pick.
Although he's one of these guys he didn't do anything
that great until his final year at Texas, and he
is a product of the Steve sarkisium seasion Sark system there.
So yeah, I mean, it wouldn't shock me if the
Broncos end up getting him. How good he's going to be.
(32:49):
He's yeah, it's pot luck at wide receiver.
Speaker 5 (32:52):
Next, Duke star Cooper Flagg took to social media on
Monday morning to announce that he'll enter the twenty twenty
five NBA Draft.

a fake wedding ring to get women to flirt with you?

Oh my gosh, it's weird how that works.
Speaker 3 (35:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (35:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (35:06):
Women want things that they can't have, So when you
have a ring, on. It gives the illusion that you
are taken, thus you are a wanted man. Thus you
are more wanted. I know women who do that too,
but they do it so that they don't get hit on.
Ah see, so it works a little different, gotcha.

Ball playoffs will start at skid Row. Think of La,
you think of Hollywood, you think of glitz and glamour.
The Lakers play on skid roll? How appropriate is that?
A total dump down there in downtown La. Anthony Edwards
and the Timberwolves looking to take a two to zero lead,
(02:07):
win another game on the road and take pretty much
complete control of Hukah. Luca and the Lakers. And I
don't know if you're watching this game or not, maybe
maybe not, but Luca he had a good stat line,
a little misleading thirty one points, twelve rebounds, and nine assists.
And the Lakers there was anything they did. The Minnesota
(02:30):
team came out sluggish and the first round series now
even up. As it was a game that should not
have been that close, and Minnesota played one of the
worst games, and yet they still ended up only losing
by nine points in this game. In Game two, Lebron
a non impressive twenty one points. Austin reeves at sixteen
(02:53):
for the Lakers, who won a chippy chippy game here
in game two. So let us discuss the question, how
do you explain the juxtaposition for the Timberwolves between game
one and game number two. So I've got lowercase wheel
of fortune and the ruminators, and we will combine all
(03:17):
of these things together, and we're gonna make a big
bucket of buttered popcorn, is what We're gonna make, Just
a big giant bucket of a buttered popcorn. So a
Minnesota had a great opportunity, like they were given a
cash cow. And as long as you keep the cash
cow alive and you give the cash cow plenty of
(03:39):
food and make sure it's out of the elements, you're
gonna make a lot of money because the cash cow
is just gonna keep giving cash. And they got the
cash cow and they took it right to the butcher shop.
They said, here, let's drop it off right at the
butcher shop and we'll make some ground beef out of
the cow. We're gonna take the cow, the cash cow,
and we're gonna just drop it off right there at
the butcher and that's what they did here Mayett. Maybe
(04:02):
they were stuck in traffic. Maybe that was it. The
rush hour traffic there, gridlock and whatnot. It was a
very messy first quarter for Minnesota, and I think for
most NBA fans it was disappointing. I an't want wants
the Lakers to win. Minnesota really the people's team in
this series here. But Anthony Edwards, who was fined fifty
(04:22):
thousand dollars, but yet in this game for comments he
made that were recorded on a granny cell phone. But
Anthony Edwards did not play with that big D energy.
This was more lowercase D from Anthony Edwards in the
beginning of the game. And he was the word I
will use is bedraggled at the start of the game,
(04:44):
mostly on the defensive set. It wasn't just just him,
but he's the two hundred million dollar player. He likes
to tell you about that, he loves to tell how
big Johnson is. And yet he went out there and
was very small early in the game. And it was
a Mattador performance early on oah hoa a Matador defense
had a minus nineteen while he was on the court
(05:08):
in the first quarter. Now, I didn't play in the NBA.
I don't think that's good. I just do an overnight show.
I don't think that's particularly good. Talk about setting the tone.
It was a slack job, slack job performance. Minnesota was
lumbering the entire night for the most part. I mean,
there were a couple of stretches halfway decent, but it
(05:28):
was mostly a lumbering performance by the Timberwolves. Here they
failed to capitalize on yet again, was a lot of
wide open looks. I mean, this is this is pretty crazy.
An NBA team in the playoffs is getting this many
wide open opportunities as the Lakers just are not a
good defensive team, and they've seen we've seen that now
in the first two games of the plass was a
(05:49):
feeble effort by Minnesota offensively considering how many open shots
they had. Now turning the page number of you have
pointed out to me via social media and email, you've
said it's all over now the Lakers have turned things on.
So have Hookah Lucas Lakers flipped the switch? Have they
flipped the switch? Now? They won Game two at home
(06:10):
and all that, And so when you do a cross
a cross benefit analysis, and you look at everything here.
I'm gonna use the wheel of fortune and I'm gonna
I'm gonna have an end. Can I buy an Oh?
Can I buy? I have an end? Can I buy
an Oh? That would be a no. No would be
the answer, because when you look around here, you knew
the Lakers were going to come out and play with
(06:33):
more gusto. Right they were. They were panted in game one,
absolutely embarrassed, looked like they didn't even belong in the
playoffs in game one. So they came out they had
more intensity and all that so fine. Okay, that lasted
a quarter, but that was enough. The Lakers jumped out.
They had a twenty two point lead at the beginning
of this game. Here Luca sixteen points early on, and
(06:58):
that was mostly taking advantage of multi time defensive player
of the Year who becomes off of the liability in
the playoffs in Rudy Gobert. But yet when things calm down,
I was not impressed. I mean, I don't know that
anyone that knows ball thinks the Lakers looked all that good.
So I don't know how you can take that as
(07:19):
a quality performance by the Lakers. The finger biting time
has arrived in La La, La La Land. You look around.
I would argue that's a bad win for the Lakers
because it gives them false confidence to think that they've
somehow fixed something when they haven't. They haven't fixed anything.
Minnesota was frazzled on offense. It was not a case
(07:44):
where they were frazzled because of shut down defense by
the Lakers. Keep in mind, the Lakers have only really
played well in the first quarter of both games. Outside
of that, Minnesota has dominated the rest of the game,
and even in Game two. Even in Game two, Minnesota
and we talked about it, we've documented it here. They
came out, they sold their pants in the beginning of
(08:06):
the game there and just dreadful. And yet despite all
those wide open mishots by the ten rules, they still
were within nine points midway through the fourth quarter. How
emasculating is that for the Lakers. Minnesota played one of
the worst games and they were within nine points, and
(08:28):
the Lakers have some explaining to do on their offense.
You look around here, Now, what is my supporting evidence
to back that claim up that the Lakers this is
a misleading win. This is a it's a bad win
because it gives the Lakers false confidence, which is actually
good for Minnesota, and people want to see the Lakers lose,
which I think most people do. The Lakers over the
final thirty six minutes as a team shot forty one
(08:52):
percent for the last three quarters of this game, and
they shot eleven percent. I had to double check my
malor math on that. I thought maybe high had f
that up. They attempted eighteen to three point shots from
the second quarter to the end of the game, and
they made two of them. I didn't even know that
(09:13):
was possible. They were two of eighteen. It's eleven point
one percent over the final thirty six minutes. But wait,
there's more. Luca shot thirty eight percent over the rest
of the game and Lebron was at thirty seven percent.
So Minnesota's defense when I'm trying to tell you, it's
a very worthy way of saying that Minnesota's defense was
(09:33):
on point. The issues they had were early on. They
just were not quite there to start there. And despite
Luca and Lebron, the Wolves. They get the headline there,
but the Wolves boxed up the Lakers. There was a
seven minute, seven minute drought where the Lakers didn't score
(09:55):
a field goal. Seven minutes. They went seven minutes in
the fourth court at home in a playoff game. Holy crap,
they blow seven minutes at home against Minnesota with outscoring
a field goal. And I know you're not supposed to
say this part because you know it's protected interest in
(10:15):
all it, anyone else think Lebron James is cooked. Lebron
through two games of this series right now, in this moment,
looks absolutely old man, old man Lebron. He's taken now
thirty seven shots in the first two games to score
forty points. Thirty seven shots to score forty points. That's Lebron,
(10:39):
that's old man Lebron. Well, I guess he's got to
get some of that that good stuff, you know what
I'm saying. I mean, as you got whatever magic Pixie does,
Lebron can get his hands on. That ain't gonna get
it done. That is not gonna get it done. Thirty
seven shots for forty points. The Lakers are not winning
this series. If that is how this is going to go,
They're doomed. It's over all right now, last words, So
(11:02):
what do you expect looking at this again wide angle
lens here, what do you expect going forward? As we're
one one is the best of five series. Minnesota has
home court advantage now and so they'll go back to
the twin season. A couple of days in this series
will continue in the Wolves. As long as they just
win at home, they'll win the series in advance to
the second round of the playoffs. So here's what I expect.
(11:24):
I expect. The extended dance remix is what I expect.
We do know that the league would like the Lakers
to win. Television would like the Lakers to win because
there's a lot of dumb people that like the Lakers
and low information fans, so they want the Lakers to win.
And so if it's going to be called fair, everything
(11:44):
is on the up and up. Minnesota should win. Do
I think that's going to happen. I'd be surprised. I'd
be surprised. And it also comes down to the rather
manic behavior of the Timberwolves here. It's like the Room
and the Tune Mister Bubbles, because the Minnesota Timberwolves are
(12:05):
not in the bubble of trust. They are the more
talented team from top to bottom than the Lakers. Most
people would agree with that. Lebron's old Luca doesn't play defense,
so they've got more talent, but you don't trust them.
You don't trust them to perform there. They're a bipolar team.
There's extreme highs, extreme lows. But the fact that they've
been able to completely lock down the Lakers and hold
(12:28):
them to ninety five and ninety four points on their
own court, on their own court through the first two games.
And we know that generally speaking, the role players perform
much better when they are at home, so that bodes
well for Minnesota. Guys like well Nasried actually played well,
and some of these other guys did play well in
(12:49):
game one, but I did not play well in game two.
And Dante Ncenzo, yeah, you also another guy you circle there.
So going back to Minnesota, those guys should all play
better at home. And you got ron looking old Lakers
really only playing well one quarter each game. This is
looking pretty good for Minnesota. They've already done what they
(13:09):
wanted to do, which was still one game in LA.
Now they just have to win the games at home.

Speaker 2 (14:37):
Me.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
Yes, absolutely all right, So our lead this hour from
pro Bouncy Ball. We'll get back to the Lakers and
the Timberwolves. Bad win for the Lakers. Talk more about
that later, but our lead this hour from the Eastern
Conference side of the bracket. The early game. This was
the game that where the Dunce cap. It was on
NBA TV, which is where you do not want to be.
(15:00):
You don't want to be on NBA TV. That's the Hey,
you're the ugly, redheaded stepchild of the playoff schedule. We'll
put your game on there. So it was opening around action.
We'll start out in Indianapolis where Dame Lillard, Dame Time,
all those big shots with the Trailblazers back in the day.
So Dame Lillard returning to the Bucks and they were
(15:20):
looking to even things up in Game two and steal
home court advantage away from the Pacers. So not sure
if you were a witness to this, let me tell
you something. I care about you. Okay, I could have
gone out and done stuff. I could have had a life.
I sat on my ass. I risked getting hemorrhoids to
(15:40):
watch all these stupid games. Here we are, all right.
So Pascal Siakam, who as long as he plays, I
will smile when I hear the man's name. And if
you're a real p one of this show, you know
why we love Pascal Siakam. It's our friend Marcel and Brooklyn.
But anyway, Pascal Siakam, I make sure I say that right.
Twenty four points, eleven rebounds and a crucial three pointer
(16:06):
in the late stages of that game, and that was
the thing that sparked that final flurry, if you will,
for the Pacers, while Tyrese Halliburton more on him in
a minute, twenty one points, twelve assists as Indiana gets
past Milwaukee won twenty three to one fifteen the final.
(16:26):
The Pacers are now just two wins away from ousting
the Bucks and doing that again. If you've seen this before,
you have, you're not imagining that you have seen this before.
Indiana has now won five of the last six playoff
games between these teams, and they led this one wired
(16:46):
to wire from zero zero to end of game, from
beginning to end, the whole thing there. Now the better story.
You know where the better story is. That's right, the
losing locker room. So that is where we go. Better story.
So let's discuss who do you blame for the Greek
freaks Bucks digging a giant hole in this series with
(17:10):
the Pacers. Who you blame who you blame. So I've
got jukebox, headliner, and rubber ducky, and we will combine
all of these things together and we are going to
make cotton candy, which is what the Milwaukee Bucks defense
was like cotton candy in this particular game. So numb burn.
Can I get a numb burn? A lot of blame
(17:34):
cheese curds to go around. And it's not so bad
when you play Milwaukee and you lose, because cheese curds
are delicious. So a lot of blame cheese curds. Now,
this Milwaukee team was man handled in the early part
of the game. They were absolutely manhandle Now they got
back into the game, but they never fully recovered. Similar
(17:57):
to what happened in that Laker Minnesota game. Similar situation,
like the Lakers came out, jumped out, and Minnesota didn't
play all that well, yet they worked their way back
in Milwaukee didn't play all that well. They were better
offensively and they worked their way back into the game,
but for the most part, the defensive side of things
(18:18):
bad to the bone. Bad to the bone. And if
you were to crank up the jukebox, which some places
still have, you don't really need it now because you
got that on your phone. But if you crank up
the old music box there, the pure rock tune would
be Robert Palmer's back in the day, Doctor, Doctor, give
me the news. They got a bad case of loving
(18:38):
hating you, and that would be Doc Rivers. What up, Doc? Yeah? Oh,
it's so great. The fact that Doc Rivers has been
able to bounce around the NBA as a carpetbagger is
wild considering how terrible his teams perform in the playoffs.
The most improbable championship of my lifetime. A lot of
(19:01):
people say it's the Detroit Pistons when they didn't have
a superstar and they beat the Lakers in the NBA
Finals back in the early two thousands. No, the Doc
Rivers coached Celtics that Paul Pierce and Ray Allen and
Garnett and those guys could win with this dead rate,
this absolute deadweight. Doc Rivers on the sidelines is fascinating.
(19:23):
And Doc is a maestro of strategic missteps in the playoffs,
and yet again we saw Milwaukee was dazed and confused.
Doc is the seasoned, veteran coach who's supposed to have
all the answers he had none, He had none, right,
no way to control that. The Pacers coming out, you
know how they're gonna play, Eve and I who never
(19:45):
played in the NBA and just sit here behind microphones
and criticize people. I knew how the Pacers were going
to play, fast paced, in your face and transition offense.
All of that right, and the transitioned offense the whole
the whole bang and Indiana capitalizing on the sleepy D,
(20:06):
the sleepy D of Milwaukee. Doc Rivers rotations now they
always blow and I know this first hand as Doc
Rivers killed the Great Lob City Clippers, most exciting team,
most popular team in the NBA, they didn't win, and
there are multiple reasons to Chris Paul joke artist Blake
Griffin didn't come up big in big games with Doc
Rivers the common denominator in those teams and really most
(20:30):
of the teams that blow it. So Doc's rotations have
always been an issue, and what he has always been
consistent about he falls in love with certain players who
are his favorites, like the teacher's pet. You know you're
in school, right you at that one little useless little
girl annoying girl that sucks up to the teacher and
(20:52):
very annoy Everyone hated her anyway, so that teacher's pet.
In basketball with Doc Rivers, there's a certain starters. They're
not playing well, they're underperforming, but yet Doc likes them.
So Doc continues to leave them in. He insists on
giving them a high volume of minutes and does not
(21:13):
give other people the opportunity. Who are in this in
this is you look around here, players that you leave
on the bench, who do you play? Is it you know,
like Kevin Porter Junior, Bobby Portous, Guys like that you
can mix in. And as for the other blame factors
in this game for the Milwaukee Bucks, he got Dame
(21:35):
Lillard who did return from a blood caught issue. And
Dame time was not game time. No, he was not.
This was not vintage Damian Lillard. He was forcing tough shots,
even the Greek freak who did have good sexy stats.
If you're just a box score reader and you're just
(21:57):
observing the box score like you're looking at out in
the wild, and you look at the boxer, Oh, the
stats are good. I'm not gonna go full on hero ball,
but it did appear for stretches of this game for
the Milwaukee Bucks that it was pretty much get the
ball to Jannis ident to Coombo and whatever he does,
that's great. And you'll freeze out Dame Willard and it's
(22:19):
all about him. You're not facilitating the offense and you're
not getting everyone involved in that. And you also struggled.
Johanna's struggling to contain Pascal Siakam there as well. Now
we have some Doc Rivers audio. Let's go to the
audience tip. So we have Doc Rivers here, and one
thing Doc has been very good at over the years
(22:40):
is knowing exactly what to say when his teams lose,
because they always lose. They always lose playoff games. Listen up,
buck fans, what Doc's about to say. We've heard a
million times over the years. Here's Doc Rivers on his
team falling behind and everything's gonna be okay.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
Let's see, I'll look at it as a long series.
You know, we haven't played a home game. Yeah, so
it's almost like two and eight. And someone said, you know,
no one makes the playoffs with their two and eight,
But you know it's the same thing to me, right,
we have to go home and take care of business
and then then we get talk.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
He recorded that with a mister microphone, by the way,
mister microphone from the nineteen eighties or seventies anyway. So
there's Doc haven't played a home game number. Doc wanted
credit for his team's blowing three games to one leads.
Now the good news is that the Bucks will not
be blowing a three games to one lead in this series.
Here's more from the Bucks coach. Here is Doc Rivers
(23:36):
pointing out, believe it or not, there's actually a lot
of good stuff for Milwaukee losing and never having the lead.
Take a list.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
I liked how we'd played tonight overall, and it should
have shout the ball better, could have moved the ball
even better.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
So I like where we're tracking.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
Yeah, I like how we bet we didn't have a
lead for a second. Man, that's good bet basketball. Oh God,
the fact that this guy keeps getting gigs these How
dumb are these billionaire owners of these basketball teams? Mike
get These are some of the stupidest people out there.
They want they buy a basketball team because they want
everyone to talk about them, right, Why else would you
(24:15):
buy a sports team if you're rich you can be
rich and not have people talk about you. There's a
lot of rich people no one talks about. They just
hang out in you know, West Palm, or they hang
out in Beverly Hills or on Long Island. Nobody even
knows who they are. You buy a sports team because
you want to be talked about, and then you hire
the I can't even say what I want to say
(24:35):
as the coach. Oh my god, all right, now, turning
the page. So the Pacers won and the final they
led from beginning to end and all that. So the
story here is not so much about the game. It's
a survey that was done where NBA players voted Tyrese
Halliburton as the most overraded, over raided player in the
(24:57):
entire league. Did see a spicy SoundBite from Rick Carlyle,
the coach of the team there in Indiana, who was
defending his guy, pursing and getting all worked up. He
was worked into a ladder, and there were other people
running to defend tyree Celiburton. So the question is you
are the voted by your peers, by the This is
(25:18):
NBA players, This is not the media, this is not fanboys,
This is the actual contemporaries of you. It's like if
I was voted the largest gas bag by radio people,
that would be amazing. So this led to a lot
of anger. In fact that we have that audio. Here's
Rick Carlyle. Listen to Rick Carlile, stand by your man.
(25:40):
Here take a list. Yeah, I heard about this.
Speaker 4 (25:43):
And the other guys on the list were Jimmy Butler
and Giannis.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
All right, and I want to.
Speaker 4 (25:47):
See I want to see the guys faces that voted
those guys. I want to see the faces of those guys.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
Right, this is a pole.
Speaker 4 (25:58):
Not let everybody even answer in the poll. Guys were
able to answer if they wanted to. They were asked
on camera or with a microphone.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
The whole thing is okay, and it's just really it's really.
Speaker 4 (26:11):
A shameful thing. It's just a shameful thing.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Yeah, all right. So keep in mind that in the survey,
there are roughly four hundred and fifty players in the NBA.
Ninety people respond. That is twenty percent. You know, when
they do presidential polling and they're like, hey, who do
you think is going to be the president? Team Red,
Team Blue, they don't survey twenty percent of the United
(26:38):
states to decide who's going to win the election. So
in many ways, Rick Carlisle is completely wrong. Now, listen,
he's got skin in the game. He's paid by the Pacers.
That's his guy. I totally get that he would defend
Tyree Saliburton. But in terms of the actual polling, it
is really good. Like twenty percent is a massive number,
(26:58):
a massive number when you think about what other surveys
are done. But in terms of what does it mean,
it means that Tyreeve Saliburton is the headliner at the
bitterness ball of other NBA players, Like the players believe
that Halliburton is the hype that this cat gets exceeds
(27:21):
his production. It's kind of obvious. Now, remember I've said
this for you. Overrated does not mean bad. It just
means you're not as good as people think you are.
Derek Jeter overrated in Major League Baseball, right, Peyton Manning
overrated in the NFL. There's a lot of players that
are perceived to be great, but they're overrated. Now, I'm
not comparing Tyree Saliburton to Derek Jeter and Peyton Manning.
I'm just merely using that as an example that you
(27:43):
can be productive and be considered good. But you're still overrated.
So the players think he's a tiger, a paper tiger.
Tyreese Saliburton Indiana last year won on a playoff run,
and a lot of people believe that's counterfeit. The players
think that the Pacers got too much credit. Haliburton got
too much credit last year in the playoffs. They beat
the Bucks. Be honest, was out if I remember correctly,
(28:03):
they beat the Knicks. A bunch of guys in the
Knicks were hurt in that playoff run. So it's not authentic.
And the bigger problem is Halliburton is a mosquito. He
is a pest. He is kind of a goofy dude.
He talks trash, memory taunted Dame Lillard, used the Dame
Lilard celebration in the playoffs, and so that annoyed Dame Lillard,
(28:27):
and he irritates people. He's seemed like he's kind of corny.
You know, guys don't like that. He's like, it's just
there's a lot of stuff going on all right now.
Final point. We quickly we go to Oklahoma, oh Colahoma,
the dust Bowl where Kyrie's ok C Thunder not Kyrie
Irving the other Kyrie, he's a p one and my
guy Kyrie, he's the only guy that regularly corresponds with
(28:49):
this show who loves the Thunder. So we have one
guy who's a Thunder fan that regularly corresponds with the show, Kyrie.
So Shay gilgis Alexander twenty seven points and oh, Oklahoma
City domination situation. They win one, eighteen to ninety nine.
They have a two to nothing lead over the grizz
in that series one versus eight. Oklahoma City opened up
(29:12):
on a nine to zero run and held Memphis without
a point for the first three and a half minutes
of the game. The Grizzlies proving that Game one was
not a fluke, as they came into this game fourteen
and a half point underdogs, and they missed their first
ten shots. Clankety clank. It was a brick house, it was.
(29:34):
And so that's if you're keeping track here, that means
Memphis has been outscored by seventy or if you look
at it from the other perspective, Oklahoma City is plus
seventy plus seventy in these first two games. So with
that being said, some have pointed out wait a minute,
you're talking about the Lakers. The Clippers would about shake
yogas Alexander, So should shake gilgis Alexander's thunder be getting
(29:57):
more credit for the epic historical beatdown of the Grizzlies.
So my response on that is two words, no way,
no way. And here's why the Grizzlies. And I did
watch some of this game, not much because why would I.
But when I was watching early on in this game,
(30:18):
the Grizzlies have already checked out. It's one, two three,
can kuon? Is what it is here? They're in zombie mode.
John Morant right now is going to he's getting ready
when they get back to Memphis. Jaw's going to get
out his imaginary air pump and he's going to blow
up his imaginary rubber ducky. Because the Memphis Grizzlies are
(30:40):
floating on the lazy river is what they're doing in Wausers.
They do not have the competitive spirit, they do not
have the fighting spirit here. If you put an honest
effort in, you don't get blown out. Now, as far
as shay Yogis Alexander is concerned, he hasn't been good.
That's the shocking thing about this. The thunder of won
by seventy points in these first two games combined, and
(31:03):
Shay Gogus Alexander is shooting thirty three point three percent
that's the sign of the devil from the floor and
twenty three and a half percent from three point range,
so he has not been good at all. But the
thunder are up to all and they better enjoy all
these wins because they'll be losing to the Clippers in
the second round of the playoffs.

Speaker 5 (31:35):
Colts GM Chris Ballard indicated on Monday that the team
isn't opposed to drafting a quarterback this year and even
added he quote absolutely could take a quarterback and pick
number fourteen if there's a player we deem is worthy
of it. Ben, do you believe him?
Speaker 1 (31:49):
Cub I think the GM of the Colts is trying
to star in a remake of a movie you were in. Liar, Liar, Okay, listen,
I don't believe in the first of all, look at
the draft, there's like no quarterbacks that should even be
drafted in the first round. There will be, but look
at the talent coming in. They're not first round quarterbacks.
So why would the They already have two suck back
(32:11):
quarterbacks in Richardson and Daniel Jones, So I don't believe him.
Speaker 5 (32:15):
Next, Adam Schefter reported on Monday that the Denver Broncos
are one of only a few teams that are willing
to trade up in this draft. Some speculate they could
go for the Cowboys number twelve pick to secure Texas
wide receiver Matthew Golden.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
Yeah, bend, he think Golden is a talent worth trading
up for, but he is projected as a first round pick.
Although he's one of these guys he didn't do anything
that great until his final year at Texas, and he
is a product of the Steve sarkisium seasion Sark system there.
So yeah, I mean, it wouldn't shock me if the
Broncos end up getting him. How good he's going to be.
(32:49):
He's yeah, it's pot luck at wide receiver.
Speaker 5 (32:52):
Next, Duke star Cooper Flagg took to social media on
Monday morning to announce that he'll enter the twenty twenty
five NBA Draft.

Yeah.
Speaker 6 (35:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (35:06):
Women want things that they can't have, So when you
have a ring, on. It gives the illusion that you
are taken, thus you are a wanted man. Thus you
are more wanted. I know women who do that too,
but they do it so that they don't get hit on.
Ah see, so it works a little different, gotcha.
