The Bill Simmons Podcast
A highlight from Part 1: USAs World Cup Collapse, Basebrawls, Jets Optimism, Life in The G-League and The OC 20 Years Later | with Gabe York and Zoe Simmons
"Coming up, an unexpected two -part podcast cameo from me. It's next. We're also brought to you by the Ringer Podcast Network, where we turned over Sean Fennesey and Amanda Dobbins' big picture feed to Brian Raftery. It's a narrative podcast called, Do We Get to Win This Time? How Hollywood Made the Vietnam War. You can find it on the big picture starting on Tuesday. And it is an idea I'm really excited about because it came from a class that I did as a senior in college in 1992. Me and my friend Horgs talked a movies professor into doing a special Vietnam War movies class where we watched basically every Vietnam War movie that had been made up to 1992 and then tried to write a big picture term paper about it. And the thing that was really fascinating about that class and something that stuck with me was just that whole concept of Hollywood reinventing the entire Vietnam experience under the premise of, Did We Get to Win This Time? So we got Brian involved and he turned the idea into an awesome, awesome podcast. I even went and dug up the term paper that I wrote 31 years ago. I thought it was gonna be horrendous. It wasn't bad. I was kind of proud of myself, retroactively 31 years later. Anyway, Do We Get to Win This Time? How Hollywood Made the Vietnam War. It is gonna be in the big picture podcast starting on Tuesday. So that's one piece of business. Second, new rewatchables on Monday night. It is the 300th movie that we've done. It's a special one. We're doing National Lampoon's Vacation. It was time. Meet Chris Ryan, Van Lathan. Yeah, and Van was pushing for it because we wanted to do Christmas Vacation during the holidays and you can't do Christmas Vacation. If we do National Lampoon's Vacation, super fun. Can't wait for you to listen to it. And we'll be running the video at some point on the YouTube channel, youtube .com slash Bill Simmons, where we put up a whole bunch of rewatchables podcasts in case you missed it. Boogie Nights is up there now. Goodfellas, Independence Day, just a slew of them. So if you're bored and you wanna throw on some rewatchables and watch us make fun of each other, there you go. Last but not least, I don't wanna say this is the most important, but it's certainly the thing I spent the most time on. Our documentary that we did about the G League with Religion of Sports and Ringer Films, we combined, and it is premiering on Tuesday, August 8th. It is called Destination NBA, A G League Odyssey. It's really good. We immersed ourselves into the G League season. We followed Scoot Henderson, Gabe York, Ryan Terrell, Mason Jones, and Denzel Valentine. And the big question was, what is this world like? What's it like to be in the G League? And I am really proud of where we landed with it. And we even have, much later in this podcast, Gabe York is gonna come on. He's one of the five that we followed, and he's gonna tell us what it's like as you're holding on to your dream in your late 20s. We try not to spoil the doc too much with Gabe, but I really liked him. He's probably the guy that jumps out of the doc in the most sympathetic way. So look forward for you to watch it. It is prime video, Tuesday, August 8th, Destination NBA. A G League Odyssey. You love basketball, just watch it, it's good. So there you go. This is gonna be part one of a two -part podcast. Gabe is coming up later. My daughter Zoe Simmons is coming up later because we did a whole bunch of OC stuff on the Prestige TV podcast. I was even on two of the episodes. But I ended up watching season one of the OC. And my daughter was watching with us and loved the show. And she was born a year and a half after it premiered. So me and her broke down season one from the perspective of what is it like when somebody 18 watches the OC, a show that is now two decades old. The anniversary was actually August 6th. And what she liked, what she didn't like, what people aren't doing anymore for her kind of audience. And we just dove into it. So that is much later. First, coming out of the gate, I'm gonna open a six -pack because we have a lot to discuss over the past three weeks, all the stuff I missed. So that's gonna be part one. And then part two, which is gonna go up later on Sunday night, me and Rossello doing this evergreen idea that we've always wanted to do. And this seemed like the perfect time because nothing's happening in basketball. So that's gonna be part two later tonight. Part one coming up. First, our friends from ProJax. What's up? All right, I'm taping this. It is Sunday afternoon Pacific time. And I'm gonna open a six -pack. There's a bunch of stories in sports and culture that happened over the last three weeks. I was just writing stuff down, things that would have been fun for podcast segments. I was just like, man, I wish I could have given my thoughts on that. Just gonna rip through them. So I have six and then maybe a couple bonus ones at the end. The first one, the biggest one, was the US women's soccer team, which lost today in penalty kicks to Sweden, scored zero goals in the last two games, scored one goal in the last three games, and that was off a corner kick. You could feel from the beginning that something was off with this team. It was all the ways. You knew in a checklist of what are the red flags? There were just red flags galore. And the only person who was really calling it out in time over and over again was Carli Lloyd, who was doing the Fox studio show. And she was the one person in the horror movie who knows the house is haunted. And everyone's like, shut up. You're not being patriotic. You just wish you were still on the team. She was right. She was right from the get -go. This team, you could see it before the Vietnam game when it was like, look at the new Nike suits. Look at these new suits. And they're all like styling as they head into the locker room. And they're running commercials. And every player has a commercial. There's players who've never done anything of that commercials. And the vibe was just off. They only beat Vietnam three -nothing in a bracket where goal differential was gonna be super -duper important. And that was a huge red flag. And we did the usual thing that we've been doing since 2019, 2015 of, oh, well, they almost scored a bunch of times. Oh, well, if that had gone in or some bad luck. There was just an arrogance to this team. Like they were carrying themselves like the defending champs, the same way like the Denver Nuggets would go into next NBA season. Like we're the champs. I was like, yeah, you are the champs because the season just happened. The World Cup happened four years ago. Everyone's four years older or wasn't on the team. And you could see they wanted to build the team instead of around the identity of, here are these new up and coming awesome stars that are gonna be in your life. They were really latching on to Alex Morgan and Megan Rapinoe. Alex Morgan's 34, Megan Rapinoe's 37. I think one of the differences between the discourse with women's sports and men's sports is that in men's sports, we grasp for angles. And if somebody is disappointing in some way, we really go nuts. Like think of how James Harden's been treated over the last 12 years. So he's one of the 35 best players ever and has taken just an incredible amount of shit. Oh my God, the playoffs, look at his game log. Oh, he choked again. Alex Morgan, who scored twice in her first two games in the World Cup in 2011, she scored once in 2015 in seven games. She scored six times in 2019, five against Thailand in a game that was 13 to nothing, one in the other six, and then scored nothing in the four games this time around. If you take away that Thailand game, she has scored two goals in the last 17 World Cup games. This is the striker. This is the one who's supposed to be the most dangerous player in the field, who's supposed to produce goals. And she hasn't produced goals since the mid 2010s on the national level. And yet it's Alex Morgan. She was supposed to be the next one. We got to keep propping her up and pretending she's a superstar. She's not a superstar. She's really honestly never been a superstar. She certainly hasn't been as impactful as somebody like Abby Wambach was. So you have the team built around her. She's got to play. They play her the entire game, game two, the entire game, game three. She plays like 95 minutes in this game today, and they don't score goals. And the announcers just won't talk about it. It's like being on an AYSO team that your kid's on, and the coach is playing somebody at striker, and everyone's like, why don't they play Sally at striker instead of the coach's daughter? It's like, oh, you know, the coach's daughter. She's got to play there. So you have that, and then you have Rapinoe, who's 37 years old, who's just, unfortunately, great career, legendary, true legend, huge big time player. And when you hit your late 30s in soccer, it's a wrap. She looked like Yudana Rapinoe, not big Rapinoe, and comes out for the last 25 minutes of this game and can't do anything, and then misses the penalty kick. That's the thing. If you're beholden to past performance, you can't expect to succeed in the moment. And I did feel like, what were this team's strengths? Speed. They had Sophia Smith, who really was bad the last three games on the left wing. Like, she just, she couldn't even connect passes. Trinity Rodman, who's a beast. Lynn Williams, who's super fast and athletic and had some really nice moments the last two games. And then Alyssa Thompson, who's the prodigy, who's the, you know, potential tiger or LeBron of this team. 18 years old, best high school player I've ever had. They won't even throw her out there. But this was not a team that could connect passes. They weren't, like, especially creative. The coaching was just bizarre, and we'll never see that guy again. But it was like, the one thing they did have was speed, especially the forwards, and they just threw that away. And Alex, you know, couldn't do anything. So now they're out. It's the most disappointing finish of the last 25 years for the women's team. And it reminds me in a lot of ways that 2004 Olympic basketball team that we had, the USA team. And I tweeted this, I think after the second game, because that was a team that was between eras, like this one was, where all the best players on that 2014, the ones in their primes, weren't that good, except for Duncan. And Duncan was completely banged up. He'd played so many NBA games the last couple of years. I think his knee was hurt. But, you know, it was Iverson and Marbury. The talent, it just was a between eras. And you had guys on the bench, like LeBron and Carmelo and Wade, who were four years away. Kobe wasn't on the team. And it just felt generationally, like we caught that team in the wrong time. The style was wrong. And we learned all these lessons and we moved on. 2008, we win. There's a documentary about it. But this team felt like it was between eras. The Alex Morgan, Rapinoe era, which was basically done. And then you have this era coming up with Rodman and Sophia Smith and Alyssa. And, you know, it's just four years from now, we'll probably be fine. But they need to re -imagine this. And I think if you're gonna learn any lesson from this, it doesn't matter what happened four years ago. It's the World Cup. It matters what's happening now. So that's one thing. Second thing. So Jaylen Brown gets this huge contract, $304 million. Some people seem surprised that it was that much money. Chris Ryan even took a shot at it when we did our library watchables. Hurt my feelings a tiny bit. Mainly because I didn't really have a comeback. Rosella did something on his podcast about how this actually makes sense. This amount of money, when you think of how the salary cap has climbed just since 2015, and it's gonna keep climbing. And there's this world you can go into where you think about just how much everything is gonna cost in the NBA four or five years from now, that Jaylen Brown at $70 million isn't actually gonna be that intimidating. The same way we feel about Tobias Harris for $40 million now, or Klay Thompson, $40 million now. Yeah, you don't really wanna pay $40 million for Klay Thompson, but you can survive it. And I think that's gonna be where the Celtics land with Jaylen. Here's why they had to do it. They're the favorites on FanDuel right now. They're plus 470. The thing that made them the most special and has made them the most special for the last five, six years is the Jaylen Brown -Jason Tatum combo. They've been incredibly successful. The team itself has made five conference finals in the last seven years. They came super close to making the finals last year. I have now gone into the what if zone with that Celtics team where what if Tatum doesn't hurt his ankle on the first play? Do we beat Miami? They were close is the point. And when you're that close, you can't fuck around. This is not Bradley Beal resigning with Washington for 50 million a year when everybody knows you can't get past the eight seed with Bradley Beal. This is different. You're trying to win a title. You're trying to keep all your optionality open. The thing that's a little scary about it, nobody seems to totally know if he wants to be in Boston. This is something we've discussed on this pod. It's been floating out there. The fact that he wasn't happy about landing in the Kevin Durant trade rumors a couple years ago. And just in general, where the league is now, where as Woj called it, the transfer portal, where people get their contract first and then they decide what they want to do. And I think for the Celtics, they know they bought themselves a year with Jalen and they are still one of the favorites to win the title. And a lot of it's going to depend on health and Porzingis. You could also, I don't want to make the case, but you might be able to make the case that Brown had a fucked up hand last year. Cause he did. Cause he sliced his hand open. It was bleeding even during the Philly series. And maybe that was why his ball handling went sideways. Listen, you got to do the contract. It just breaks your brain. I remember a million years ago, Sports Illustrated and Inside Sports say every year they would have like a salary issue. And they would talk about these guys are making $1 million a year. And it seemed like so much money. And now where we're heading with the money, plus the NBA is the meteorites deal. The moment any of these guys becomes unhappy, what do you do? Because you're paying Jalen, let's say you're paying him 55 million a year. Plus he is the trade kicker, which the team has to pay. Right? So if he decides after a year, you know what? I'm tired of being the scapegoat. Everybody loves Jason. I'm like the middle brother of this team. I want my own team. I want to go to Houston or Atlanta. You got to trade me. What are the Celtics going to do? On top of who would want out, you don't have a lot of options and you turn into what the situation Portland's in with Deem. And then on top of it, it's so much money. It's impossible to get any sort of a fair trade for the guy. So they had to do it. And optionality the that comes out of it is frightening. I remember in the early 2000s, when the first time the contracts kind of went nuts and you would see that people get signing like six -year, $100 million deals, seven -year, $110 million deals. And the Celtics really, really stupidly traded for Vin Baker. One of the worst trades of the last 30 years for Boston Sports. A trade so bad, you knew it instantaneously. And I wrote a piece that you can probably find somewhere in the ESPN archives about it, where I compared it to the end of Thelma Louise when Harvey Keitel is running toward the cliff trying to stop the car from going off the cliff. That's how I thought about the Vin Baker trade when it happened. Then it happens and you just had this salary albatross. It's a salary cap league. And you're like, wow, we just threw away 20 % of our salary cap on this trade. There's going to be a couple of those that are just franchise killers. And whether that leads to them bringing back the amnesty clause, who knows? I wish, I've made this, I've had this idea before. I wish that they had a rule in there that if you drafted a guy, every year that he stays in the team, you get rewarded in some way from a salary cap luxury tax type thing, right? So Jaylen was 2016 draft, this would be his eighth year. Maybe like after the seventh year, because that's usually like the third contract. The guy stays in the team, maybe each year after that, he doesn't count for 2 % of the luxury tax, up to like 30%, something like that. The point is the Warriors should be rewarded for keeping Draymond and Klay and Curry from a tax standpoint, that they were that smart to draft those guys, keep those guys together. They should be incentivized, the players, to want to stay with them because there's some luxury tax stuff that the team gets. And the team should want to be incentivized to take care of those guys because it's also beneficial to them. I just wish they figured out some version of that rule. Anyway, Jaylen was always signing for $304 million. Talk to me in a year, I'll keep my fingers crossed. Next thing, I missed the running back pity party. This was crazy. The running backs all got together and they were really upset about how much money they made. And I don't know what to tell you. There's too many running backs and not enough running back spots. And I don't know if you're trying to build a responsible salary cap team in a collectively bargained era, why would you spend $30 million over two years on a running back unless the running back was awesome? Nobody even wants to spend more than $11 million on running back. So I knew that this was crazy when Damien Harris, who was on the Patriots, who I thought was really good. He's maybe not an elite running back, but a good running back, right? Somebody that if he had been on the Chiefs, he easily could have started for the Chiefs. And he signed with the Bills for like one year, 2 million. And when that happened, combined with Pacheco on the Chiefs' seventh round pick, they won the Super Bowl with him. It's just, this position's devalued. I work on this player, I've been actually working on it the last couple of weeks where I try to rank the players for blue chippers, red chippers, pink chippers, honorable mention, and have this whole point system. And so quarterbacks, Mahomes, who's the alpha of that position, he's worth 10 points. And you could even see this in the point spread. If Mahomes gets hurt, the Chiefs are 10 points, nine points, whatever, less than what they would be as a favorite. They'd switch to an underdog. And you go on down the line. Jalen Hurts, I had him as an eight. I had Joe Burrow as a nine. And you go on, you keep going down, and it's like, Geno Smith's probably a two. But then you look at some of the other positions and you have to value them the same way the salary cap values them and teams value them. Guards, they aren't worth that much. Running backs, sorry, they're not worth that much. My top running back was three points because ultimately running backs don't really matter that much. In the last like five, six years, I would say Derrick Henry was the only running back that you could definitively say, this guy almost won the Super Bowl. Like he was that good. Other than that, you know, it's plug and play, quarterbacks, it's receivers. It's much harder to find the number one receiver. Every team needs one. It's much more tangible if you don't have the number one receiver. And it's much easier to just kind of scrap together the running back position. And yet people went nuts about this. We ironically had this in the NBA with centers. You know, Vucevic, who's a really good offensive player, he signed for 60 million for three years, 20 million a year. And Jaylen Brown's going to make $52 million a year. Is Jaylen Brown two and a half times better than Vucevic? No, it's just, he plays a way more important position. You can only play one center at a time. You can patch together the center position. You could have like Isaiah Hartenstein for $8 million. You could, you know, get Robert Williams for 16. You don't need to spend what Phoenix did on Eaton where they're paying $8 and $30 million a year at center. And you don't really need to do that. You kind of feel obligated if you don't want to lose the asset. But I think the NBA is going to go this way eventually where unless it is Jokic or Embiid, the center or Bam Adebayo, it's a bonus. You could argue that was already an overpay. They gave him a huge extension. The Lakers just gave Anthony Davis $60 million a year as an extension. I would argue that's a little frightening. I feel like you could patch together the center position. What really matters in basketball is having the creator. And this was the argument five years ago with Luka versus Eaton for the number one pick. And I made this argument. It was like, go look at who wins the NBA title every year. It's always the people who have the creator. There's somebody who's on the perimeter of the ball in their hands. Even Jokic, who wins the title this year, he was a creator. He's not a typical center, right? He's basically their point guard on offense who could post up. So this happened in the NBA. Nobody went nuts. And this is happening in football. And is this where football is. If you want to make the most amount of money playing in the NFL, I don't know why you would be a running back. I would be a cornerback. I would be a wide receiver. I'd be an edge rusher. But if you're a running back, you know your shelf life's probably like five, six years. You know the money is not totally gonna be there. Now they're in this, like you have people like JK Dobbins, like, I might hold out. It's like, really? You didn't barely even play in the field. Barkley said he was gonna hold out. And then, you know, probably looked at it. And the money for Barkley is like 10, 11 million. That's unfortunately the market. So you can't fix this. They collectively bargained it. And until we get to the next CBA, I don't know how you fix it. I thought it was really weird. It felt like people had nothing to talk about. And it was like, ah, let's feel bad for running backs. All right, let's take a break. And then I'm gonna finish the rest of the six pack. All right, picking up on the six pack. We're gonna talk a little more football. I talked about the running back pity party. This is a different kind of party. The Jets optimism, which has just been stunning to me over the course of July. I have Jets fans in my life. These are people that usually have no hope and are very reminiscent of the pre -2004 Red Sox fans, just assuming the worst at all times. Why does God hate us? All that stuff. And now they have this crazy optimism based on the fact that they brought in Aaron Rodgers, who I did not think was very good last year, just throwing that out there. I wouldn't say he was bad, but for Rodgers, he was bad. I mean, we thought Rodgers was, he was the reigning MVP and we thought he was still one of the five or six most impactful players in the league. And I don't wanna read stats to you for the next six minutes, but deep balls, he was bad. Turnovers, he was bad. Leadership, he was bad. And the case for Rodgers coming back would be, well, he's gonna be rejuvenated. The Jets, New York City. This is his team. He got away from Green Bay. He's got Hackett back. I get it, but he's also at an age where we've really only seen Tom Brady succeed at a high, high level at the age that Rodgers is at. I was trying to figure it out. I have my QB ratings and I had, you know, the top tier is Mahomes and Burrow and Allen and Herbert and Hertz. Those have to be the top five. Then it drops off and it's Lamar Jackson and Lawrence. And then Rodgers, probably a hair underneath him with a chance to play himself up with those guys. But from what we saw last year, I'm not ready to put him there. So he's the 10th best quarterback in the league, probably. 10th or ninth best quarterback in the league, probably. Well, they have no offensive line. And I don't understand why people keep glossing over this where it's like, hey, Rodgers and Garrett Wilson, he's one of the best receivers in the league and Breece Hall's going to come back and the defense is really good. And it's like, yeah, the offensive line is terrible. Beckton and Dwayne Brown, sure tackles again. And then you have Robert Salah as the coach, who I cannot say I thought that Jets were crisply coached last year. Whatever he was doing with Zach Wilson was insane. No idea if that guy's even a decent coach. So I'm already worried about your offensive line, the age of your quarterback, and the competency of your coach. And that's before we get into the hard knocks curse, because for some reason they're doing hard knocks, the incredible Super Bowl hype already. And then we have the schedule, which is the AFC East has just got screwed by the schedules this year. The Jets, just for quarterbacks in 17 games, they got to play Josh Allen twice, they got to play Mahomes, Herbert, Hertz, Dak Prescott, and Deshaun Watson. And then they also have to play Miami twice. We'll see what we get out of two this year. And then a really good Pats defense. And then Denver, who knows, they might be rejuvenated. So Danny Dimes, they have to play him. It is a brutal schedule, so you have that. And then on top of everything else, you're the Jets. I was there with the Red Sox before 2004, and this is probably just as bad, where you just think the worst possible things can happen is all the time. You're not allowed to have optimism when you're Jets fans. You can be cautiously optimistic. There was an entire Curb Your Enthusiasm episode once, season 10, episode seven, about being a Jets fan. And it was called, I think, the ugly section. Nick Kroll was the maitre d'. And part of the episode was about, he would put these people in different sections of the restaurant, depending on how attractive they were. But there was this other plot, Larry's buddy who loved the Jets, kills himself. And Larry becomes convinced it was because of the Jets, that the Jets killed his friend. This was only a couple of years ago. So now they get Aaron Rodgers, and everything's good. And they're gonna win the Super Bowl. I don't see it, guys. I don't wanna step on my football stuff too much, but I'd be shocked. And Lombardi points out the defense that everybody's ready to compare to the 85 Bears. Lombardi said they had two turnovers over the last eight games last season. So that means something too. I am dubious, to say the least. If you're gonna tell me a tortured franchise actually turns it around this year, I want a tortured franchise that doesn't have expectations. Because the Lions are another one. Everybody's ready to put them in the Super Bowl or close. And the only case for them is just pretty explosive offense. They couldn't stop anybody last year. And the NFC is terrible. But that's another one where is that a fan base that should be super excited and have a ton of hype? The one that's kind of lurking that fits in this group is the Browns. Because the Browns are actually super talented. They're in a winnable division. Burroughs already hurt. And I think they're four to one to win the AFC North on FanDuel, something like that. Their over -under is, I think it climbed up.

Charles Barkley Slams Kendrick Perkins for 'Racists' Comments
"Let me read this head and I'm real quick. It says Hall of Fame basketball player Charles Barkley ripped into Kendrick Perkins, suggesting that race plays a role in the NBA MVP, voting when it comes to the Denver Nuggets, the center, Nikola jokic. Jokic, jokic. You know I'm from America, jokic. And the funny thing is the criticism that racist Kendrick Perkins had made mention of was he was criticizing yo kitsch. He was criticizing Dirk Nowitzki and Steve Nash. And the funny thing is is that none of them are white Americans. them. And it's funny because white Americans sit on the board of the voting for MVP and I don't have they ever voted for a white American to be of MVP of a basketball of the NBA. I mean, I'll say from starting from 1990 because he went since 1990 to the present day, there has never been a white American that have been, I voted MVP in the NBA. None. racist Kendrick Perkins is a complete maniac and idiot in my personal opinion. And it makes black people folks look bad. I mean, we look dumb. Sitting on TV, making all that money, and we trying to claim that white people are racist, yet the white people we claim are racist, vote for black people more than white people. And they vote for white people who are not American more than white Americans. So if anything, they're excluding white Americans from the MVP voting. But I'm going to play with Charles Barkley said and if anybody out there that's listening, if you can get me in contact with Charles Barkley, I would love to sit down and smoke a cigar and interview charged Barclay because I just really appreciate his perspective even though I don't agree with everything. I appreciate people that keep it real. And Charles Barkley, I know he live here in Arizona. I saw him at the airport one year, but I wasn't able to follow up with him. However, if you know him, I want to interview him and talk to him about this whole thing. But I'm going to play the clip from Charles Barkley. I don't remember which number it is, but let's roll clip two. I think I got it. Clip two. If only 5 white guys have won MVP in the last 30 years, that makes zero sense if argument. Zero sense. Because if that was the case, we'd have a lot more white MVPs. Those and it's a little short clip of what Charles Barkley said. I know he probably said a lot. I mean, in the article that I have here, and I'm not going to say these words on a radio, but he said, he's pretty sure that the other gentleman jokic, is that how you say his name? That jokic don't give a, you know what about these idiots on television?

We'll get our final predictions here in just a moment but i want to go back to something you touched on with the brooks koepka and bryson into shambo thing. This all started in. It was hilarious. 'cause i i did watch the pga championship. Where a fifty year old man phil mickelson one and arguably One of the best golfers not arguably one of the best golfers of all time gets it. Donnie he defeats brooks kept cup for that major win Afterwards they're interviewing brooks koepka and bryson to. Oh who these two have had a rivalry going for quite some time. They don't like each other. It's not for show bricks. Kept guy hates bryson cambo. He was one of the players that shambo was taking too long to hit his shots and brooks koepka lost his mind on it. Getting the point where coke said you like. Meet me in the parking lot. Like he got to that point. That boiled over again as kept doing an interview to shambo walks by got metal cleats on you can hear metal spikes which the golfers hate people who wear metal spikes anyways tears up the green. A little bit walks by mutter. Something as he walks by. Kapka kept visually disgusted with what just happened then. The next day they announced the match. Which i'm a huge fan of the match. It was. It was a lot of fun to watch the last couple of but this year. It's going to be physical sin and tom brady. going up against aaron rodgers and bryce into shambo and tom brady has all of a sudden. Become a meme master hilaria. It is so good because he took a screenshot of eating bill. Belichick in every way possible now like that is over. Yeah until mac. Jones wearing number fifty leads the patriots to the super bowl. Now but but he starts tweeting it out there and burks kepco fires at bryce into shambles as a sorry at aaron rodgers for having to spend the day. The all really. It's really do. I feel like it started. And then it just kinda went all in on it. I think that brady just dumped some fuel on the fire because we would because what was said by kepco after the shampoo walked by they cut it in. The video has now been pulled from all social media because it wasn't supposed to be leaked kepco looked at and said this isn't going right and he just said i can't sorry. Can we start over i. I can't. I can't think effing bs that just happened And i mean he just you could see. It's true disdain for them. It's like you're all sitting around the water cooler and and jerry. Y'all hey walks up and you're like oh we're going to deal with jerry that's kind of what it was like. I think it's absolutely real. I think tom brady is quickly. Becoming one of my favorite athletes of all time makes golf interest eight does it was a great day so to share fires back at kept says. Glad to see that. I'm living rent free in your head and earlier in that week somebody One of the fans and the golf course after shambo hits it goes there we go z right at the shambo said whoever said that needs to get out here and so that's all avenue man absolutely is. It's funny it is fun but that was happening in the sport. So that was. I love golf. Gets like that because you know. We're not all going to tune into every pga tournament. i not turn into one. We put it as arguments about about the athletes thing by the way no i said track is more of an athletic sport than gulf. You had a fifty year old just went name a fifty year old hundred sports conversation. Let's get the official picks as we have year old to fifty year old. That's one hundred ninety minutes left. So let's let's talk about the denver nuggets in portland trailblazers. They go into portland game. Three this is to take the series lead. Denver is a four point. underdogs going into this I talk to me. How you see this game going. Give your picks through the nuggets covered. I did but yeah. I think the nuggets win this one tonight that void. What do you think yokich goes off some in depth and joker does thirty six plus or something around those those lines i think you gotta you gotta contain damian lillard. Your key is still just the the defense sunday. Yeah pretty much. I mean that's when they get going that's when things get rolling for them. The guy can shoot from half court and you just have to not let him shoot wide open shots and you have to. But they're going to try to get inside so that's going to be on nicola yokich to make sure and then guys coming down playing down it's going to be where you know austin rivers and faku certainly at a a weak spot there because they're not going to be able to to shift down and play any big guys. That's where it's nice. If you could get wilburton roy's the lineup match. Ups are going to be interesting to watch. Brady likes nuggets to win tonight. Elsewhere in the association tonight sons lakers that once tied at one apiece los angeles seven point favorites in that one Phoenix and los angeles. What he's nobody believes in phoenix. And i and i don't either. They win game one. But i i just i mean i've been waiting all year for both phoenix and utah to. Utah's not going to fall their plan. Memphis planning your job mirant. That series is going to be five phoenix. I don't i. I'm the same way man. I don't believe in birdie whole host of the whole show foam on twitter. Throw twitter handle our polls show at whole show.

"Two handwrite right. That was at two three years ago. Two three years ago years ago years ago that they were in they had that. But that's a whole. It's a whole completely different team. One or the other big story lines. What's the status of will barton. Will he back. when will he be player. So here is supposed to be on this trip so it might be tonight. It might be. It might be game four. So i kind of think. Pj does not gonna play in. This series will barton. Maybe goes i'm gonna. I'm gonna say doubtful for tonight. i haven't looked at the injury reporter in writing But he was supposed to be on this trip ready to play. So that's another score. You need the scoring and you need another guy that can easily drop sixteen to twenty points on. Espn right now as of nine fourteen this morning. Nine fifteen this morning. They've got will barton listed as out for tonight so That's that and and who knows where that goes but So nuggets eight thirty tip off their. This is the thing that drives me crazy about the nba playoffs. You know the the the bias the clear east coast bias Where you have that the portland game very well could be the best game on tap. You know the sun's lakers is gonna be very interesting as well. I mean last for tonight. You're right but i was going to say one of the best series is either nuggets blazers. Are that hawks knicks series. That is just insane. And i wanted to. I wanted to get into that a little bit. Because i don't know if you saw derrick rose's comments after the game last night but a reporter asked him you know. What are your thoughts about trae. Young because trae young was was the atlanta hawks. Standout guard was kinda running his mouth after the first game saying you know you can't beat us. They were just a few to him responds. I don't blame. I love it and bring that on me too. And that's exactly what. Derrick rose city goes man this leagues yet and soft he goes. This is what it's all about but you need more than yours and you're starting to see a little bit you know. The the blazers and nuggets game got chippy. The suns lakers is even this to me. Feels like the best first round playoffs or at least the most intriguing that we've had and why you got the mavs up to o on the clippers and and that that's kind of crazy right there and you've just got really intriguing matchups throughout the course of this. I said this like two years ago on my show. I said the nba is getting ready to be really fun. And i know there's still a lot of people have issues with the nba. Whatever but you're spread you're getting so many superstars now that yeah they can't you can't get ten guys on one team. So all of these superstars are spreading out. You're getting the caliber of star players. Now is so high. Every team has at least one or two guys that could make a case for mvp. It seems like right. Yeah so now you've got all of those guys and it's you know it's not so much about all kevin durant joining up with james harden. Everybody's got that now. The nuggets have an original thing which is cool. But they're still have stars porter's star. Aaron gordon was on his way. Never quite got there. But that that's what's a blast about and now you're getting guys talk some trash. We're getting away from this banana boat garbage right. Were very happy about braun. They're all buddies. Not more paul. All it took was an elbow in the ribs. Send lebron james fly into the moon the other night so i love it. I think it's i think the more tra i. I'm not a golf. I like to play golf right. I don't like to watch golf. But your boy brooks kept coming exhibit. Wanna watch golf but not actually golf uis phenomenally and we'll talk about that yesterday before we get off the nba thing. We're talking with jerry whole host of the whole show Let's take a look around what happened in the association last night. The seventy sixers role washington thick. That's probably going to be about it. Phillies got to lead russell. Westbrook gets popcorn dumped on him. What do you think of this idea. And i saw this take floating around I actually really like it I think it was actually barstool big cat who can sometimes catch on pick central airs five to six here on k of k He said this is why every player should get one legal fight with fan squared off in the arena. And just because he's right and one the fans tough dude and wins then then this and what is at stake is one game check. That's what you have at stake with. The guy that did that is no longer ever allowed to go to a game if you throw an item on a field of play. I don't care if it's a kernel of popcorn and some people are talking about his reaction. He absolutely every right. I don't care if it's a grain of popcorn or whatever. I was rowing an item at you. Hate russell westbrook was seeing. I felt like i would have done. I would have been doing this to hold him back in why. I don't care if it's beer. If it's a piece of popcorn fits a light piece of paper. If you're throwing something at somebody be a human being man. Are we doing here. Is this a gladiator days. That guy or girl or whoever the hell it was never allowed to probably should have some kind of charge right never allowed to go to a professional sporting event in the history of their life. That's what you do. I agree So the knicks and hawks knicks take game to madison square. Garden is incredible. I mean that's just a When the garden that when they're having a good good year which. I think you'd have been had one in a long. And this is the first playoff win in eight years That was electric. Last night utah. Tell you you knew that after memphis dole. That first game they were going to bounce back Donovan mitchell and company. One hundred and forty one to one twenty nine last night donovan donovan. Mitchell goes for twenty twenty-five. But i'm going to go back to an old take that i had ran. You think he's the best job rate is going to be better than cy. On and forty seven points from him last night but t points. That one's not up at one piece. Nine twenty two ten. Let's take a break. We'll come back.

"Good. Thursday morning northern colorado. Welcome in to the equation specialist studios. We're not here for a long time. We're here for a good time we've got rockies pregame coverage starting at nine thirty. Yeah they're branching and playing baseball now. The question is does that give reporters of the rockies and stuff like that. Are they going to be able to have a mosa while they watch the game. I think that's that's the honest question that we're looking for. I'm this is no co now presented by the j nine agencies We got a lot to get to in thirty minutes But we've brought in ahead of. It's a big sports day for the denver nuggets as they have game three. They split the series. Excuse me split. The first two games in denver headed to portland tonight game. Three and four that we bring in birdie whole host of the whole show to give us his thoughts. We're talking a lot of denver nuggets This morning brady those first. Two games It was kind of a tate's right The first game you know damian. Lillard is just incredible. That was the same in both games Was the difference maker in game. Two was at yokich being able to pass. Was it just more aggressiveness. From the nuggets. What was the difference in game two that they were able to at least split the home series. Yeah it had to be. It had to be shack harrison at the beginning in the first half of that game. It'll just casual nuggets. Fans probably don't even know no three year player you know he's kind of journeyman he's still pretty young. Heck of a defensive player fresh malone wanted to get him in at some point and put him in dame was taken over so they push back in a really old school style of defense to. It's one on one. I'm not switching on any screens. I'm going to go over the top of every single time. I'm gonna play off the ball. I'm not i'm not going to. I'm not going to play in the middle. I'm gonna play on the guy and watching him so for a minute and a half shack harrison does that then. The lightbulb goes on and goes all right then. Aaron gordon steps up malone halftime. It says i i want. I got day which is insane because really gordon is a true power forward. True power forward a weird thing to say. Because i mean he can shoot he can. He can guard on the perimeter. I mean he you know he can guard guards. He's against. I should say he's a lot taller. And maybe a little slower than they. Put him on steph curry right. But dame dame's guy that i trust. I trust gordon. It's going to be interesting the trash. This is a fun series. They hate each other. The trash talk is already going on. Aaron gordon says i'm gonna take him again and dame says see so you know he's going at you But you know what. The nuggets of damian lillard score fifty gets fouled out with six minutes. Left in the game and cj mccollum can't do anything you pretty happy. That was the difference though yet. Joker had a few more opportunities to get assists. Still not as much. They're still there guarding him. One on one right. So they're not bringing doubles in. That's where a lot of jokers passes come from assists. Come from is when they bring a double down they try to bracket they as soon as he puts the ball on the floor. They suck in a guard to try to tap the ball away. There's none of that going on where they don't care if joker scores fifty so has to be two other guys have to be up there. It's very interesting. I'd like to see if that was still the same philosophy if jamal murray was playing. Because you know you've got another guy. They can score. They they wouldn't be able to do. I don't think so right but they're able to do it right now. And and with that being said it this kind of this series kind of shaping up like it could be a long one right could go six seven games But doesn't feel like yokich is due for just one of those monster nights. Sometimes and i know thirty eight thirty eight and five rats. How good he is now. We're like thirty eight isn't considered a monster night right but i mean i'm talking fifty s right. Yeah i mean. He's growing his brand even more in these playoffs. he's at dickey's talented guy What he didn't do the last six years of his career though is getting to take over mode and now look at him. He knows when he has to score. There's no more of this. Oh joker does what he thinks is necessary. Maybe he doesn't want to shoot you shoots. There's none of that anymore. That's joker of the past. This is the most dangerous. I think the most dangerous player in the nba. So now they switch over an head to portland. What are you feeling that first game. Normally you know portland. I don't know what the fan capacity know what it is. They're not used to nuggets of at least been baby. Step in getting fans barrow in portland. Hadn't been in the regular season so we'll see you know i saw. There's some other. I think boston's going to be going full capacity or soon as well so you're starting to see this really started to together. Don't portland's at But that that intensity even for portland's gotta be up defending their home court. I mean it's got gotta be close that because it's no longer bubble you know. They're not already things changed different atmosphere. Do you still like the nuggets. Chances tonight tonight i do their four point. Two odds saw I mean i. I picked nuggets to win this thing and five and until that's not the case i'm sticking with it. I know it seems like it's going to be serious but denver. I don't think even had their best game on monday. And they end up winning in a landslide. I mean it was an e easy when it was all said and done. So i i think denver winston i in fact. I predicted game to game three going to go to denver. I really yeah. I so if that happens i think closed out by the time they get back. I don't think it goes longer than five if they get both these. Yeah i if yeah if you get both of these games. Yeah it's done at home to denver and be done right. Oh you said game today to. Yeah i thought you meant three and four. Yeah no i think again it's damien lord's gonna go off. The question is at the end of the half. Can you stop the bleeding. And that's what's going to happen game. Basketball game runs. The nuggets are susceptible to that they give up big runs and they don't recover. They recovered dame's going off in the second. You were texting me back roy. They were up by seventeen. And i said i'm worrying. You require you. Worry because damian lillard erased a seventeen point deficit in like a minute and it was down like eight right so that can happen so quickly and if the nuggets don't have enough scorers that when you absolutely have to get a basket it's joker porter okay. We'll porter they are game planning around him now. So it's not the same puerta. You saw the regular season not to say he's bad. He's just there guarding better. So that's what kind of scares me when when you know if dame can get going so yeah you have to find. You have to throw fresh bodies at him. If that's shack harrison for a little bit and then aaron gordon goes up the scary part about aaron gordon playing dame at the top of the key is you lose a body down the paint right. So that's where they're going to be looking for kanter noor coz guys to take over down there. Yeah in. that's that's actually going to be a really interesting point and to further the. Mvp talk if they start doing that and yokich can hold his own down there. I mean the all there shouldn't be any doubt his last. I was like thirty nine of the voters. It's all thirty nine okay. I don't have. I think it's one hundred ten right but it's it's done. He's going to win. This being i mean but you know there's been knocks on him about. Oh we can't play defense but if they start going away which you know they very Well may try that for a bit but then on the other side. I think you're okay with that. Because it takes damian lillard out of the equation. If that ball's going down in the low post. I'd rather have inas kanter her or eleven points. They have them. Have the ball in their hands than damian lillard. Who can who can literally shoot it from anywhere. Yeah that's going to be the main thing i mean y- would you really don't wanna see mccullum lillard freakout game so right now. Yeah and that was. That's what they had done in that. The last playoff series that. We saw these.

"Of those teams is eliminate adam. Silver would never. Yeah die. I there is something to be said for that. Ah i'm a little bit scared. But if denver was against dallas and you have nicole yokich versus luka doncic. Both unstoppable offense players. I still think the denver matches better with luca than dallas matches up with nicola. And that's because you have aaron gordon you have. Pj dosier you have michael porter and you have will barton and you can be a little bit more switchable with those guys on the wing then you would have been in the past when denver last played them. They didn't have aaron gordon in their previous match against dallas. Michael porter sat out at least one of those games Douses a good team and lucas. An unstoppable offense player. But i just don't trust the people around him and i think the denver could win that series. And then you get to the point okay. Who's at the top now. Utah phoenix if one of those teams as the theme that denver faces in the second round. Do you really think that it's impossible. Denver couldn't win one of those series. Because i don't i think they could absolutely one of those series because they have the best player and so often that is the that is what matters in a playoff series. And i don't know where this is ultimately going to end up but i tend to think and i tend to trust nicole yokich and i tend to trust joe-marie and i tend to trust michael porter jr. Unfortunately jamal there but trusting. Those guys has has really led me wrong yet. And and i tend to think that those guys just the way that they are wired the way they have fit together and played. Well anything is really possible. So i'm not going to count them out just yet. Yeah i I fully concur with that. I think Just like you mentioned. I i really honed in on on the nuggets. Post jamal Just to get a read of where the team was at and where they were headed in It just hasn't felt like i mean i've seen teams have injuries. And they go on a mini run but it feels more like there are. They're trying to overcompensate and Keep going what they had and the team is just like. We talked about the defense at the beginning. They somehow on the flour it will the change up their identity in a way and it doesn't feel fake to me so i you know i'm not going to place bets or anything actually i. I told france tonight that they should bet on the atlanta indiana game and i think some of them lost money because of this swyto bed but point being i i agree..

"And it doesn't really matter before or after bath. So. Yeah. But I'm with you then just not going to happen. Dodgers-giants same sort of thing. I just don't see, the the inter rivalry trade at any point. Look, I mean, you I'm willing to be this person, not just in exchange. I asked that in four years I get I get handwritten apologies from the two. Absolutely, I think that's fair this person now, and twenty years from now, when Tatum finishes careers never gets traded to the Lakers, you will return the favor to Trevor and I assume. Yes, yes, that's right, that's right. All right, so let's let's wrap things off their, you know, I've got a lot of people commenting, somebody ask you, when's the next game that's Thursday. Thursday is the next game, two days off, two days in a row off, hopefully LeBron's, ankle rests up a little bit during those two days and then the Lakers will take on ma'am. The aforementioned Clippers coming up on Thursday and then the second of back-to-back against the Portland, Trailblazers both games, pretty important for the standings but I think the Blazers game is probably the more important of the two we'll see if LeBron Sticks. No back-to-backs thing or if that was just because the ankle was bugging him after the game against the Raptors, I don't know, but we'll never. I was going to. I was going to ask if LeBron is only playing one of those, which one do you a plane? Is it the Portland game? Because of the head-to-head matchup? Yeah, it's the Portland game, it's the Portland game because of the head-to-head matchup. And then on top of that, because I don't want the Clippers feeling, I mean, I know. They've they've seen a lot of LeBron already but I don't want them getting recent experience against LeBron James and then turn around and see them in the first round. I'd rather that be a reminder of, oh, yeah, this is what it's like to play Zac Brown. We haven't seen him in six months. Rather than, oh yeah, we played him a couple of weeks ago. This is what playing LeBron is like, you know, you kind of get used to dealing with that feed. The physicality, the strength, all that kind of stuff. Your little dog, Prepared for it. When you just saw it a few weeks ago, versus you haven't seen it in a while. And next thing, you know, the freight trains coming at you again. So I'd rather they have that that Gap where they don't get to see LeBron for a little while before they have to see them in the playoffs Thursday..

"It's a low bar friendship in my world Trevor. It's, it's a low bar. You know, I'm an outsider kind of guy. And so, that's, you know, that's where you tend to find some of these Clipper folks. Yeah, I mean Clippers fans. Are you age living on living on the outside of society. So I get it. Yeah, I am always here for some good old-fashioned Clippers slander. You gotta gotta love em. Look, the Clippers. I I don't like the match up with them either. Somebody chocolate thunder says, I have a Clippers fan friend, but he's a casual friend. Does that make it better? If they're more of a casual fan? I don't know. Who are there any Clippers fans that aren't casual was a casual fan or casual friend? He was saying like, oh, that's just an acquaintance. I don't consider him a close by Inner Circle. Yeah, like, that could be just poor reading comprehension on my part. Either way, either way it's a Clippers fan that they've got the that they talked to. Oh man, the Clippers know. I I would prefer not to see them, see them in the first round because of the match of issues and things like that but also Jeff to go by what you're saying. Look this is a team that they hang Pacific Division banners off if they hang Pacific Division banners and happened to knock the Lakers out in the first round of the playoffs, we would never hear the end of it, like you're saying we would never hear the end of that. Even if the Clippers bowed out in the second round and immediately lost and maybe I don't know, blew a 3-1 series lead. Again, we still would not hear the end of it so yes I would hate for that for that to play out and become realized Yeah, and I think Phoenix and Utah just to kind of round out the discussion. I mean, we might look at those teams historically and say we're not necessarily scared, you might even look at some of the guys on the roster. At the end of the day, these are teams Thursday morning More than 70% of their games, seventy 2% of their games in both of their cases. And so yes, it's the regular season, but that's a lot of games. They're winning three out of every four games they play. And so even if you look at the roster and say, wow, who scares me on these teams, I don't want anything to do with. I mean, obviously the Lakers might are going to have to get through them at some point, but those scenes are just playing, really, really good basketball. Even if you don't see it, when you look at the roster. Yeah. Yep. Yep. Brian washerman from YouTube said, would you rather the Boston Celtics or the Clippers win? The championship know.

"From the playoff picture as my guest and so that those two maybe are some games where you can try some things out and just get some guys, some run, but yeah, definitely a fascinating schedule down the stretch. All right guys, let's finish up with this. So of the teams, it's pretty clear regardless of where the Lakers fan in the standings. Pretty clear. They're not going to have home-court advantage in the first round. Not just, that's, that's not going to happen right now. They are six games back of the four-seat, so obviously, that's, that's not happening. So if they finished 5 6 7 8, 7 or 8, they'd have to be in the play in tournament. The teams of the top are Utah, Phoenix Denver and the Clippers and right now, we don't know for sure who the Lakers going to wind up, matched up against him. Don't know where they're going to fall. There's a lot of you could literally see any of those teams in the first round right now. And we could certainly say some teams are more likely or less likely. But just looking at those forum, who are you hoping to see in round, one, Utah, Phoenix Denver or the Clippers forget about the second round of what that might mean there. What's your ideal match up run? We'll go to you first. What's your ideal match up for the first round of those sports teams? You know, the problem, you know? The, the tendency is to say the Phoenix Suns, right? I think we're all we're all thinking it. No one wants to say it, but the tendency is to say the Phoenix Suns. But playing the Phoenix Suns. Probably means you have to do the play in tournament. And I, I would rather see the Clippers or the nuggets and not have to be in the play in tournament, then see the sons having to do the plane tournament. So between those two all take Denver just because Denver as we saw tonight Denver because of the injury to Jamal Murray because of their really lack of depth at the guard positions. They match up a lot better with the Lakers who are very front court heavy. When you have LeBron, you have drum and Gasol, treze, Markieff Morris kuzma. You've so many more young frontcourt, guys, then you do backward, guys. So, I think that's a better match up the Clippers. I mean, you see what Paul George does in Kawhi Leonard does every time because k c p home. Guard one of them and they're just so excited to see that. And so I would have to say, you gotta see Denver in the first round if you can avoid the play in tournament and see them, that's the ideal. Joe, you agree Denver or would you rather see somebody else? Yeah, no I mean for me it's not even Ron sounds reluctant to say Denver there. I'm excited to say Denver to me, it's an easy choice. I think with Jamal Murray out, it's just a different team. I think, of course, they're, I think they said on the broadcast, nine and one since he went out, but just a much less terrifying team to me without him and I again Ron pointed out. I just think it's a good matchup. I think the Lakers can go small ball against them if they need to with a d garden jokic. And that's not great for Denver. And I think it just forces a team like, you know, Ron's guy. Michael Porter Jr. Are you took the rely on him to get big buckets for them, in crunch-time? Some of these, I mean, you just see, once the ball is out of yoga, just hand, there's nothing there. And if you can get in Michael Porter Jr. Said again, maybe that's maybe throw Casal on jokic and you throw Anthony Davis on Michael Porter, Jr. And if Anthony Davis can lock down Porter Jr. You just say who's going to beat us on this team?.

"All right back log of the night time. Ron you got to go first on on the next-man-up so Jeff I'm coming to you. Who is getting put in the master long, two nights. You know, I'm tempted to go with yoga. It's just because of how good he is. You watch him against the Lakers and some of these games and you're just like in somebody. Do something about this guy, he feels Unstoppable but I have to go with Kim Pazzo. I don't know if I'm officially even pronouncing his name correctly, but man, he has just mastered the, the sort of pesky foreign basketball guard who just gets under your skin and just does all the little things I was texting. You guys, it was like he was trying to fight somebody tonight. Just a little annoying for me tonight so he gets the Master Lock in my book. He was really getting into it with Talen Horton Tucker. Was it a like? Yeah, he was going after him and found one play. He kind of Spun THD around when he was trying to finish that lamp. Yeah, look, he's, he's a feisty guard but I think that's a, that's a pretty worthy pick their of composite, you know, he was definitely a thorn in the Lakers suck night, and he was that kind of annoying almost a little like, JJ, Barea, ask or something like that somewhere. Andrew Bynum's ears, just perked up when I said that. But yeah, that was I think that's a good pick there. Jeff Brown. Are you going with for the Master Lock tonight actually? Jeff it's not pronounced Composites, it's pronounced Marcelo huertas. Exactly the same easy, the cattle wage so I'm I'm going to go. He didn't do anything in particular tonight. I just generally don't like this player and I, I don't enjoy watching him play basketball, Michael Porter, Jr. I just don't like him. And I think any time I am on this show, when the Lakers play the Nuggets, I will pick him for the Master Lock. Simply do not like him. Is it like a m e r o meu in some way at some point in time. Wrong or what? Where does, where is this disdain for? Michael Porter? Jr. Come from There's a combination of multiple things. It's, it's he's, he's said some controversial stuff, he plays. He plays with like a with like a Cockiness for a person who's in his like second or third season. He always makes Kyle kuzma. Play terribly. Like there's just something about him that irks me and and it, I can't fully describe it. I guess they hurt. He hurts cow was feeling. So we've gotten to the root of Ron's of Ron's dislike for Michael Porter, Jr, right? There, I think Kyle kuzma. It's all comes back to cooseman and I get it right. I mean sometimes we see cruise but he gets he gets drawn into this like one battle with them and it's not what you want at all and increase but for the most part stayed out of that tonight but it does it has happened in the past. Tonight might you know, my master lock, it really should, it should go to a day off tonight. It should I just especially in such a big Lakers win..

"It's a really, it's a really tough call because at his best Markieff Morris is extremely valuable to what the Lakers do. And he works well alongside almost every Lakers big, man. So I think he's a really good option to have in the playoffs. I honestly think that the emergence the re-emergence I should say, of Marcus all almost fares worse for Montrezl Harrell. I, I don't know in the playoffs. If you have Drummond Gasol and trez, it depends on the matchup. But I really don't see when you go to trez unless teams are playing small-ball. But if, if you're playing small bulb and Anthony, Davis is your five because he's, he's the Lakers just Center by a mile statistically. So it's, it's really tough. I don't know where Montrezl Harrell finds minutes and I think that in the playoffs casals, skillset might be more valuable. Haven't read because in the playoffs, you need floor, spacers. You need guys who can make plays on the perimeter, because things are already so much more compressed in the playoffs than they are in the regular season. Wage, I think that's true Ron but I think also that if we if we're going to say that Marcus all had a great matchup tonight. I think we also have to note that Montrezl Harrell had a terrible match up tonight and that's that's why you only took ten minutes or part of it, right? He is known for not playing well against Nikola jokic. No I thought he was okay while he was out there tonight but you're saying wrong this is five boards, five points, too for for shooting a fortress tonight. But again only ten minutes per on your saying that that maybe try. This is just a permanent thing. He just sees his minutes decreased because of Kazaa and then Terence in our in our chapter was asking can you play Tres and Gasol side by side because Gasol can space the floor as the five and you can use treasury as your your nominal for. Is that, would you even try that off? Is that not quick enough in terms of switching? You know, it would be something I'd be interested in trying. But here's what you have to think about in the playoffs Anthony Davis is going to be playing 37 to 40 minutes a night which means in your really only thinking about eight minutes a game where he's off the court where you can try that Gasol treze pairing with LeBron at the three. You can give that a go off but it's it's just not going to happen enough for me to think that there there is a place for Montrezl Harrell in the rotation. Unless the matchup is very specifically built for him. There are certain teams in the Western Conference playoff where treze is built to play them but it's not the Nuggets, it's not really the Blazers, it's maybe the Clippers. It's it's just so sporadic..

"Is this, are we on the verge of seeing a change right now mean, what we saw, we saw go go, go back to Drummond in the fourth, only to pull him back out. After he botched that that role the basket, where the ball just got, you know, his hands, it rifled off of his hands, he couldn't catch it and he went back to Marcus all. So what do you think? Do you think that this is a we're going to see a shift here moving forward. I mean, what eight seven or eight games left now is to solve back in, you think? It's an interesting question in part because Ron kind of touched on this matching up against the Western Conference watching. Tonight's game Gasol was amazing + 17 you know we kind of I was tracking his plus minus the whole time but I wonder and Trevor all kind of posed. This question back to you. This felt like the perfect match up for Gasol. Like jokic feels like best case scenario for him and so we can sit here and say, what a fantastic game he played, and maybe vocals should have seen a more quickly. How good of a matchup that is we've talked about the 3-6. This could be that, you know, sort of that matchup but I'll ask you, Trevor, do you think that this was just a matchup that was made for Marcus all to perform well, and when we move on to Future opponents, I mean, obviously a team like Portland with nurkic it is a similar match up. I would say, but some of these other teams, maybe not as well suited to a guy like us all as Drummond. Do you agree with that sentiment? Yeah, I do think so. I think that that's at least at least we have to say that that's an element to this here, right? I mean, if this was another team that the Lakers were playing if we were playing against the team that runs more of a small bulb, Thank you. So probably wouldn't have been nearly as effective because he's going to get run off the floor, wires and this one. He's got a slower, big man in yogesh to go up against a guy, who's in some ways, a mirror image of him, or at least the younger version of Marcus on the Okeechobee is, is maybe the MVP front-runner at this point probably is and he's playing tremendous basketball, but but just in terms of their style they did a lot of similar things. So Marcus all I think it is a great matchup for him but he also took advantage of that matchup, right? I mean, we talked about teams who sometimes get an easier path through the playoffs. He still defeat the teams that are in front of you, mark played the team that was in front of him and took advantage of minutes that were there..

Tommy's been extremely good energy. Let's give him some good energy back. That's what happened at least some great advice there but our listeners and twenty thirteen south not not in the front office per se but obviously or outrage around from basically when this whole new kind of got put together right where every everyone on the team has almost been kind of in time right all through the organization at southbound curious so you've been quoted before talking about how the kind of analytics are kind of a piece of the puzzle. It informs the bigger decision of maybe that whole treat but it's just a branch that entire decision-making process. I'm curious i'll be i i. I saw that when you're first projects going into statistical analysis right heading into into free agency and thinking. How much do we evaluated things like. What did that really. Okay if you maybe that that first job in an inkatha spearheading this apartment. You know actually the project that. I ended up doing It was right before join before. Actually i guess. I was hired at that point by ended up doing it. Before i physically came to denver. The was Again at that point analytics was just gone. Just starting out to be to be a much. Laura prominence will and i had to rely on a lot of instinct and just stuff that i learned back in finance like. Hey all these numbers are there. Let's see if we can predict something you know so you take everything that happened in the baston you try to predict the future which is extremely difficult force. But that's the best way. We can usually do things so we ended. I ended up doing a project on a certain free agent. That was leaving or potentially not leaving. You know what would how much money should we give that particular person. I'm the person was on the not necessarily on the decline of career. But he was a little older and ended up kind of you know creating a very rudimentary now looking back at it i fairly rudimentary analysis on. You know what the stats are going to look like based on other types of players who fall into that same profile essentially and i think this being somewhat close out that person ended ended up doing very well so you know it was it was. It was just an attempt to do something. I didn't know what i was doing. But i was giving my best shot but then you know that efforts gave me a base off which i can do other projects in those other. Projects gave me a new base. A new base in ubisoft. Just kind of you know. Keep upping your standards at poignant of the other products that you're you're comfortable with that..

So what was it like kind of making such a life. Changing decision like that into into going orlando. I'm during a time like that and obviously finding your way in the nba. It it made it a little more difficult to actually break into the nba. Because it was a lockout going on. I wanted to.

"denver nuggets" Discussed on Xtra Sports Radio 1300 AM
"McNair's first Bob, and now his son down this path. And his buddies with Nick kissed Cirio, and it's causing the whole thing. So there there's a Texans great today that's telling Shawn Watson You know, stick by this thing. You want out? Stand your ground. So Don't think that the Texans are willing to deal Shawn Watson at this point Even for this dish on Watson approved trade. Where would be him going to Miami and two and a second round pick in the future first round pick? Going to Houston. Tonight. The number three pick, but the Texas pink are the Dolphins pick the following year. It's gets so confusing because the Dolphins like own all of the Texas tropics. Don't think that the taxes I think the Texans hang on for dear life. I really do because it's highly as I think of to, uh Just You know what you have in the sun wants in and you know, it's great. But it just feels like a long is this Jack Easterby guys around It's going to cause rifts. And the more I read on this store or even more. I think back to that time in the late to thousands when Red Bearup was around the Denver Nuggets, and he wasn't supposed to be a guy making decisions, but because of how empowered he was Beiste and cranky You fell. The conversation was that he was involved. In some high level decisions. And then we know what happened with the Nuggets. Towards the end of Carmelo's time there and they consolidated power. And it was Josh Kronke, followed by Messiah, Jerry right underneath him. And away. They went, but I know just Like the football people make the football decisions. Okay and related. Bring it back to the Broncos for a moment. You know when John Elway tried to and this was reported by Woody Paige But John Elway tried to Make overtures towards bringing back Mike Shanahan because he's like this, Vance, Joseph guys a disaster. I got to get out from under this guy. It was reportedly Jo Alice, who's like No, We're not bringing back my Shanahan because him and Shanahan had beef. And I got to imagine not to Take any of the blame off of John Elway. But if Joe Ellis had such a problem with Mike Mike Shanahan. Don't you think you would had a little something to say about Kyle Shanahan couple years or a year prior to that, when the Bronco's were deciding if they wanted Kyle Shanahan or they wanted advance, Joseph for Some of the other guys. They were Considering It's always a bad thing. When the non football non basketball non baseball people are making Decisions and Jack Easterby, by all accounts is not a football person and I'm not talking about like you have to have played in the NFL to be a football person. I'm saying you are a personnel guy, or you are You're just hired to do football decisions, and I don't know that. That's what Jack Easterby was brought in. But he wields this. Power within the organization and people inside and outside of it just don't understand. Why he has so much say and Apparently, a lot of the poor decisions have been made by the Texans. Can be traced back to Jack Easterby. It is DeAndre Hopkins says. When Dre speak Liston. 5 to 29872 when we come back the Nuggets are taking on The Nets tonight, Kyra. He's not playing. And his whereabouts are Guess unknown by most people. He's off the grid, but he popped up for a moment. Theo be in a picture of himself partying without a mask on which is led the MBA to launch an investigation. He's not playing tonight probably won't play the rest of the week. But with this investigation, it's it's become bigger than just Kyrie missing a couple of games. We'll talk about that and I have my bedding picks for tonight's game as well.
