"And Marcus smart. It's the backcourt. My first two multi defense. Those are still to me the standard for defensive guards. True was awesome. I'm with you on the ado thing. I wonder going forward my big questions. Where's Tatum in this next game? I thought they did some stuff to take them out and make them give up the ball. A lot of people missed open threes. I think they're gonna look back. They'll watch the tape of this and see how many open threes they had. And the number they made was 18 for 50, 36%. At least another what? 12 were completely wide open, that they gagged. So I think they're gonna look at that and Tatum in general, you know, Scott foster's out there. Scott foster was out there for game four nets Celtics. It became one of those things. They started not getting calls and the Celtics got pretty bitchy about the calls, you know? And you watched the bucks, the bucks were just like staring straight ahead. We've won the title. We know how this goes. We're not going to play the ref game. The Celtics got lost in the rough game. They've got to get out of that too. The reason you lost was because you weren't tough enough, you got to psych you out. You turn the ball over too much. You need to make enough open threes. And you got to be tougher in the next game. Udoka, I have confidence will be football coaching it these next two days, right? Because it's more of a football game than a basketball game now. For them the bucks. I would like to not see that group that started the fourth quarter together again to start others first. This season. No, no, no, no, no. Tonight, tonight. He went Pritchard Jalen white rob and grant. And that was up until the 9 minute mark. And they ended up, you know, I don't know. Yeah, it's tough. Exactly where I was in my notes here, but you just watching an offensively going what's the plan? Where are the options? To start the fourth quarter, they were O 5 from three. I think Pritchard had taken four of those and missed all four of those as well. I know grant Williams wanted to give him a pep talk. We want to talk him up big time in the huddle there. I don't know if anybody said. I love that. I don't think his teammates were super into it either. By the way, this might not be the series for him totally. He played 29 minutes today, tice played four. I think they either have to match the size of Milwaukee or go the other way and go smaller and play Tatum and try to, to me, I didn't feel like they, how many times did they attack portus in this game? Milwaukee is able to hide portus in a way you should not be able to hide him on defense like he was hit today. No. I don't think jaylen, if Jalen's healthy, okay, if smart isn't, you know, I don't know. I thought rob Williams was like tore his groin and apparently it was that he just got kicked in the nuts. Yeah, I guess it was just so bad. That might actually been don't make this a ring or social Dylan. That might have been a kick in the dick instead of the balls, and if you get kicked in the dick and the right way, it actually,.

Lebron finals the send out one one of these guys So definitely those are the two top teams board nets. Plus three hundred lakers afford a one. Any twenty twenty two titled sticking out to you guys off the cuff. Yeah i think that one better. They already did get down as far as nba title. Was the warriors at thirteen one. It is a little intriguing to me that you know. You're gonna get steph curry back. Obviously the thing with klay thompson coming off of two big injuries with acl in the achilles are going to be something to watch out for. But they have draft capital and a tradable player. Whether it's wise men or wiggins or both to go out and get another guy on this roster whether it's a superstar player or whether they want to affiliate with with depth on this team and when you have guys that have that experience you know with steph curry klay thompson. Injury mon- green I think jordan pool might be another guy. That's going to be pivotal guide. That comes off the bench for them. and use. obviously. Have steve kerr. So they've been there. They've been battled tested I'm just under the assumption that they are going to make some type of move to get other players so before that number moves..

"So now you've got scott foster. Who's in his head. The line really hasn't moved so with the line being five. The market's not moving with scott. Foster is not moving with chris. Paul's you know maybe historical poor performance in elimination games. I'll just say maybe because you could say well statistically six and eleven now seems pretty bad and it really reinforces final point before and then by about six. Forty five eastern. We'll have our handicap on the game props inside game result but the idea of how little the line has changed since game three. So one of the things we preaches. There's very little josh. Mints during a series to how good teams are and. Sometimes that's right. And sometimes that's wrong. And i think it may be wrong in this case but just to show you how little adjustment there's been gained three phoenix's did nothing. But when they did nothing but cover we were talking about a potential sweep. We weren't you like actually milwaukee still with the plus money but there was a lot of talk of this sweep. Chris paul's coronation and aligning game three. When it was about the worst scenario at least so far with the games played for milwaukee they had motivation but boy they look good. They were laying four points in the time sense walkie one they won. They won on the road. The third one come home. We find out the nemesis of chris. Paul is raffin and the line is five so it went from about the worst situation to the best situation. The lines gone from four. To five and it really reinforces in sports betting. You're fighting over half points and anyone that disregards points. They're making a mistake because the bookies make all their money not because i have points because of that little minus one ten and little things when you have a lot of them add up hair loss. John i mean you don't have to worry about that with your had. A hand with some people like mackenzie has you know. Would you mackenzie. What's the tactical defense is a male pattern baldness.

Tonight yes and we have extra little stat here on this scott foster conspiracy theory. How many files. Extra did chris. Paul was opponent teams. Get called will give you that in just a minute.

Plus why is that because you spread the word we appreciate it and we're going to keep working extra hard to deliver an entertaining and profitable show for you. You can listen on the i heart radio app and you know what i was so involved in trying to get more scott foster stuff. I didn't get a chance to check the weather. So let's go to mackenzie rivers. What is the current weather on the strap. One hundred five degrees and the on the las vegas strip. The dublin is bubbling champagne. That that wasn't too good wise. It might be appropriate of milwaukee Closes out tonight. That might be appropriate. Champagne my you know. Spencer and mckenzie. You know the team in research had kicked butts show yesterday and i purposely didn't include them in the d. block the final block. Because i figure why let a mess. It up was so good but somehow carried over. I mean listen. They've done phenomenal job. They've different points. yes so. rj. We have been looking ahead to game six of the nba finals. Coming up later on tonight. It's the suns at the bucks. Were right now. Milwaukee holding a three two series lead can close it out later on tonight at home. Yeah in as we said scott foster refereeing tonight and there's a discrepancy on the number chris. Paul was saying eleven before another game. Which now means we're being twelve straight that had been lost but what's interesting is. He was counting his team and he was out of one of those games and since he had done that was after the laker game In the first round there was a scott foster referee game for phoenix. Apollo was out that they want. So if we eliminate those two games the streak actually is eleven right now and most people haven't dug in to see that..

"I don't know maybe to dispel this narrative. And maybe we need to look at maybe phoenix being alive dog now. That is an interesting conclusion. One i thought too but that would require communication scott foster think about that. That's the one time. In this whole scenario it'd be hey foster cut it out now. Lastly for sure what's different about. Four interesting about foster is if you go back to the tim donna. Hey story which was really my first kind of national media attention and something. I did a good bit of original reporting on the scott foster. Had a lot of dealings with chris. Paul or check that with donna hay. And here's an example. This is story from january. Two thousand twelve is. He had one hundred and thirty. Four scott foster tim. Donaghy phone calls in the time in which donahue was under investigation for. let's say allegedly game fixing however we want to describe what donna. Hey did and they most. These calls were usually less than a minute. So there's a log here. Ten thirty four call from donna foster ten thirty five another one ten thirty six ten thirty nine so we can all say well wait a minute if they tried to eradicate donna. Hey which did. Why wouldn't they run foster out with them. Don't forget at the time. David stern one of the things that was most important to him was. This was a rogue official that there was no conspiracy so it could be and again pure speculation but it could be back at the time they thought foster might be a little bit dirty but if we go really dig into that then we're going to really uncover maybe something we don't want to but now foster somehow had protection because he knows that since so he does what he wants again pure speculation but foster seems to get more complaints than anyone but somehow the league has in these very big games very curious when we come back in again conspiracy theory tuesday when we come back. We'll dig into the nfl and then by the end of the hour do a full handicap vegas dow.

"They're going to do it their way just like in baseball. Let's say there's a picture of a lot of high fastballs and major league baseball again with pitch with umpires rotation to it in the playoffs. I don't know exactly how that works. I'm not even sure about that. But let's say they had the ability to dictate who was going to be the home plate up and there's a home play dump that caused a lot of high strikes and you wanna team has a high fastball pitcher to win now. The referee is not doing anything. Illicit he or the empire in this case would be doing what he is naturally inclined to do but the act of putting in that official to a specific game with the goal of affecting the outcome that to me seems like the definition of manipulation. Let me give you an example. Let's say typically those Let's say there's a dome and one of the things. Sometimes the roof be oh roof. Be open or not right. And let's say that it's the league's decision. It's the nfl. Let's say it's league's decision. Let's say one quarterback plays great in a dome. It's peyton manning back in the day the others. Tom brady who plays great and inclement weather. If they decide to leave the dome open even though it's like forty degrees and sleeping and typically that don would be closed we could say hey. They didn't really do any manipulate. They just influenced but it seems like officials who are supposed to be unbiased. In this case when i say a fish league officials that are supposed to be unbiased to make decisions about who's officiating the game that they believe will have a specific influence on the game fact on the game that's affecting the game with a bias and i'm not saying that we can't ever prove this that's the beauty of the plan from the nba. Unless they are doing email. Correspondence say well. We gotta get scott foster now because we know we ate chris paul but if it's unspoken and rest assured wanting the nba does exceptionally well is their own analytics if you go to. Nba dot com. They've got some of the best analytics about the nba there. they've got some smart minds analytically. They know probably more than gamblers. Do how different things that affect gained. But the fact they know it in the fact that potentially and it's the belief in las vegas they do this. Potentially they're going to make decisions about officials to extend series. It strikes me as something one to take advantage of as batters but to something. I think that rises the level of improper would. What do you think i mean. Let's say you know what i'm saying is exactly true. We don't know that it is allegedly by or by not even allegedly by myself. I guess allegedly because a lot of people believe it but by my speculation scott foster was placed in a game. Three to benefit milwaukee because he's anti phoenix. If that were the case is that improper in your mind. Not for what we do. I could understand. If you're a suns fan it would be cause for concern. I also go back. And i look at a couple of calls. This series devon booker not getting called for a late foul and that's to your point is the beauty of all this because you can if you're the nba. You can push back and say well. What about those calls. That went four phoenix earlier in the series. What about this just the..

"Team is very physical that we want to win. We're gonna bring referee. That doesn't call a lot of files or crew. That doesn't call a lot of files so the physical team can be mighty physical or the opposite if you went to physical team to lose you call in a referee group. That's going to call a lot of. You're not fixing the game at all but you are presenting or you're you're giving certain teams in advantage. That is an obvious to see and jonas. Let's be on. There was ever a time that my theory came to four. Th that really came to life and said man that seems like an example. Perhaps is when was. Oh oh to milwaukee they have a must win and lo and behold the one guy in the nba. Seem to hate chris paul and again we've got the data saying twelve straight ties. And we got chris paul saying it. The he believes it to be true boy. Oh boy doesn't that bag theory. Yeah now and. I think that there's sort of this connotation because the tim donaghy stuff from back in the day that any sorta shenanigans that go on in the nba or any sort of this stuff you know. Why would why would the nba one of go anywhere near anything like this or the potential. You know chris. Paul making the comment. You know if i was a betting man. Eleven games in a row. Eleven games in a row about scott foster being the official. I do think there's a big difference between having an influence and manipulating this situation. I'm sorry and i just i. I don't think this is out and out cheating or something that needs to be investigated it's just the nba realizing there's a business aspect to all this and if we can solve put ourselves in a better position to get an extra couple of games or an extra game. Why wouldn't we do it. Well listen what you're saying I let's let's explore that sack. 'cause what you're saying is you're making a distinction in refresh remember. Was it influencing versus manipulating difference. Okay because i think if you're putting yourself in a position to potentially have some influence as opposed to just out and out manipulating the game looking the other way when there's when there's a clear and obvious call walking away from from a play or refusing to rule a ball out on one team when there's clear evidence to show him. I think there's a big difference between that and putting yourself in a position to get an extra couple of games but when it comes to the referees actions i agree with you if they have a propensity to call or not..

"I'm looking this quote. When when was this quote from game. Three of around one after they lost to the lakers. Okay okay gained three around one after they lost to the lakers. Okay and he says the following. This is a quote. The lakers are shooting a lot of free. Throws if i was a betting man eleven games in a row. Eleven games in a row. That's what he said. And that was the quote. In which chris. Paul said hey. I've lost eleven games in a row with scott foster referee. If i was a batman will some of our listeners. About half based on the research are baton people men and women and by the way in game three of the nba finals. Walk at home. Remember down oh two lane four you might remember. We thought man that line seems kind of high gas who refereed scott foster and guess what chris paul lost again the sons last that so. It's now twelve in a row. He was complaining when it was eleven. Now don't forget. Let's take a little side sojourn as they would say into the idea and jones. You can give me your feedback on this plays and we are straight out of vegas. I used to say. I say often. The nba wants to extend series when they would like there to be typically a seven game series instead of a four game series and the steaks on that. Go up even more in the finals. Where you know the distance of the series. How many games are played has even more of financial impact. But we've said they won every series to go as long as it can and the question is what will they do to affect that. If anything and we've said many times that in vegas when there's a game that feels like it could affect the financial bottom line in a playoff series of the nba. We think the tries to have an influence now. A lot of people are like why. I'm like oh gosh who hot take no no no. We're not saying the nba says. Hey let's look at game. Three game three was a perfect example if somehow phoenix one and went up three. Oh the sweep maybe was on. I mean oftentimes at third laws takes the energy out of the team was losing and say sweet time and how much less interest were there have been no game five no game six and we know obviously game five was a monster and saturday and now we got this big game. Nba really wanted mock to win game. Three you would think if they were concerned about their bottom line and most businesses are we. The nba is too. So how would they affect. Would they have commissioner silver calling people up saying hey We're gonna fix game. No no no no but maybe just maybe they would say as we've told you many times. What kind of referee would hurt a given. Team referee would be pro. Milwaukee were anti clippers now. Typically it's not going to be an individual like scott foster this seemingly has an agenda against a team or player would it would be is..

Paul in playoff games when scott foster referees now the whole in playoff games That's an interesting kind of narrowing. If scott foster has an agenda against chris paul. she has a vendetta against chris. Paul probably would shop in the regular season to mackenzie rivers had a research pregame.com. He's the right person asks. Have we dug into the regular season on chris. Paul and scott foster now yet. I'm on it not not yet didn't wasn't a thing that came up but what we can do is before the end of the show dig into that but what we know. Is you know as we do the research but what we know is that he has lost chris. Paul straight up. Twelve straight games in the playoffs. The scott foster has refereed now. If we assume for the sake of argument that each of those games were fifty fifty type propositions well losing twelve in a row that is moving towards about four thousand one. The odds against that happening randomly. So the flip a coin twelve straight times get a heads. Twelve straight times for example would be about four a little over four thousand one so very very unlikely now. What makes us think that it's even more likely to scott foster has a role in this. Oh by the way. Scott foster is refereeing tonight in this game again. Well not against. Chris paul but with chris paul and walkie so after the lakers lost this is where have been in which the sun's loss game three and it was in the nba finals so this was prior to that so this was when they had lost. I think. Let me see We can't see. I'm looking this quote. When when was this quote from game. Three of around one after they lost to the lakers.

"Things like left handed quarterbacks with red hair when they quarterback east of the mississippi after nine. Pm start time or fourteen and four and saying What is the correlation oftentimes. There is none now. What's interesting is. There's a hedge fund out of Upstate new york called renaissance. And there's a fellow named jim simmons who is a billionaire that this is probably the most mathematically advanced hedge fund in existence and they've made billions upon billions of dollars and they've dug into the stock market deeper than any find any entity in the history of the world and they say and they don't talk much of the press but there was a book written called the man who solved wall street i think was the title and it talks about how some of their most profitable trends are ones. That are nonsensical that. There's no logical reason that there should be this correlation this trend. But here's the key statistical significance so very rarely in sports betting very rarely in sports. Is there a statistical significance to any trend because it takes such a big number to do that and think about the nba even eighty two games typically plus the regular post-season so regular season plus. Postseason it's hard to get enough sample size to say for sure for sure. This is correct. So even though some of the most powerful trends are nonsensical. Do not logical. We're never gonna find those out in sports because there's not enough sample size. So what do we have to do. We have to combine that trend numbers the wins and losses and the logic of it. So let's look at chris. Paul in playoff games when scott foster referees now the whole in playoff games That's an interesting kind of narrowing. If scott foster has an agenda against chris paul. She has a vendetta against chris. Paul probably would show up in the regular season. To mackenzie rivers had a research pregame.com. He's the right person asks.

More aaron rodgers news. No no no. We're going to start with the name you might have heard. And if you haven't listen up in even if you have listen up because it affects i think potentially tonight's game the end result and his name is scott foster and what we're going to start with his who's refereeing tonight. What it means to the game. Yes scott foster longtime mba official. He is become a focal point of chris. Paul played games because of chris. Paul's track record. And how many games in a row. He lost scott foster was the lead official so he will be on the call later on tonight. It'll be the sons in the bucks nine. Pm eastern time on abc were milwaukee as a three two series. Lead looking to eliminate chris. Paul and those phoenix suns. One of the greatest questions may be the most important question when it comes to statistics. Probability numbers is. When is something a coincidence. And when is something the sign of an underlying reason when is there a correlation. So if i flipped a coin three straight times got three straight heads. The odds are seven in one that that would happen. But it's going to happen. Randomly about once a week if i if. I flipped a coin every day three times about once a week a little bit less. I'd get three straight heads and to me the well. Let's think about that. it'd be one. Yes that's correct and about once a week you get three straight towns and we could say oh look. It's been two straight tuesday's that we got three straight heads. Oh man that must mean sunday. Tuesday must be pro heads. Most people would say nah. Nah that's coincidence.

His games and he and he's given the ice grill. Maybe walks up to him and says hey man. What kind of protein or you're working with. I've been doing beyond meat and it's caused a great season working out. Yeah you sweat on purpose. how are you man. She had whatever you do them before temporarily not working so switch it up. A little bit of the sons can change up their approach with how chris interacts the game. They have cameras everywhere all over the arena. We got cameras and guys count money. We got cameras on dell. We got cameras everywhere. Can we get a camera on chris paul before the game and how he interacts with scott foster. My bucks fans friends are actually worried. They think the scott foster assignment is the nba trying to throw us off the scent like oh crystals twelve and the scott foster games. Let's throw scott foster out there. He's got maybe go the other way tonight so you think that has implications with the line in vegas. The other way the idea of he can't possibly go. Oh and thirteen against scott foster. Come on lay a couple on the sons wink wink wink on tonight. Yeah the coronation of this thing in milwaukee that seems like the coronation of jaanus is inevitable. It just seems that's coming. He's the huge favourite for finals. Mvp right now. No one is even close to him and yeah. I think it's going to happen. I actually think it's going to happen. Milwaukee is the better team right now. They're playing better basketball. Like i said it'll cut all hinges on chris. Paul's health ben lines in for rich is in on the rich eisen show. I wanna point out a tweet. I had earlier in the series. The sons are just better at every aspect of basketball. And also have a guy named devon booker. so it's a wrap. Thanks for playing on twitter at the moment. always looking at it from a bird's view. But i bring that up because it feels like we're prisoners of the moment now in this coronation of jaanus as the greatest player on the planet coronation of the milwaukee bucks as an organization new ownership group bring legitimacy back to the franchise to the city. And what's amazing. Is you look at their best players. The two longest tenured guys on the team. Jaanus and chris middleton have been in milwaukee the longest it's a copycat league will teams. Now try and have continuity try and keep their core nucleus together as opposed to going out there and assembling a team a superstar china you know throw throw together a team of boldface names to make a short run at it or the ability to the draft. You do you build with your star players and invest in them long term as opposed to rent a player which has seemed to be the kind of trained in the nba. Or are we gonna see phoenix. Make some type of adjustment beyond ski. The interaction of kristin scott lorrimore so for moncey in an xs and os you start fouling jaanus in a real way in a in a way that takes him out of the flow of the offense makes the crowd feel like they're part of it at first but ultimately take them out of it because there's less of a flow to the game and you don't get those seven. Oh runs eleven. Oh runs that really get everybody involved. You put jaanus on the free throw line four times like to do to shack back in the nba finals. What can you do if your money williams to change.

I think it was twenty five to twelve run down the stretch and put themselves in physician for holiday to miss both to get the rebound book. Dribble the ball to floor announced game on the line. Here we go back and they couldn't pull it off bishop issue of taking you getting down by fourteen for you to play. Defense for five minutes struck fourth quarter. I agree as you. Gabe forty three in the second and then you'd followed by giving up another thirty six in the third quarter than you expect to win. Okay now back to scott foster. We talked about this whenever it was. It was after game three when he shows up in remember. Chris brought it up after game. Three of the lakers series which in he felt to owen eleven with scott foster riffing his playoff games and he volunteered after the game. He just said man oh eleven and he said if i was a betting man dot dot dot run. Didn't finish the sentence owing eleven. Oh and eleven and then they tried to end the interview. He said oh an eleven. He wanted everybody to know that he can't fight city hall that that the nba said. Let there be scott foster and remember. He got so upset with scott foster because he thought it got personal that he actually went to the league off. I mean he didn't he call the meeting. yeah he. I don't know if they went all the way to commissioner. But this was when he would have to go to would have to go the commission commissioner that he complained and it became public that he complained about scott foster which means scott foster knows all too well that chris actually publicly condemned him. Okay so is it bad blood. Sure it is but i thought okay. So are they going to assign to chris paul and they did they assign him to game three of this series and what happened to de'andre quick foul trouble remember. The early foul was honest. Just running over jae. Crowder just ran over him. It's blatant an offensive charges. You will ever see or just offense and foul and scott foster blows. His whistle lays it on jay crowd. What here it is. Just just random over. Just how is this. Not an offensive foul. How is that a foul on crowder. Was he not stationary. Was he trying to know. He just got knocked. That's a scott foster call. What do you think chris. Paul said in the back of his mind here we go on. I repeat what he probably said right and here. They went and ate and got into quick foul trouble and played five total minnesota second and scored a grand told the two points. Okay scott foster. But i thought i told you the other day. The nba is under such fire about scott foster and he's regarded as a good referee in general. I think he's terrible but you can't take him out because then you'll be actually agreeing with what people would you would if you eliminated him. You can't fly from the. You know the rotation referees in the files then you're agreeing so you have to validate him you have to reinforce him. You have to say no. We believe in scott foster and we assign him to game six which was coming back. It's going to be hard. It's hard for me to scenario that if this is a long series scott boston it doesn't get another game. He got one game. The pool is already said. Yeah so they got to rotate the guys. And they're probably everybody in. The pool is probably going to get at least two games goals seventy and maybe this already been assigned in advance and yet. They couldn't anticipate that. Milwaukee was going to figure out how to steal a game five at phoenix. I still can't believe it. But they did just like david stern skip. Join crawford from spurs game because everybody say oh so you you do realize that they're little by going on here so you actually took him away from his work. He did suspend him he did. He was able to call for his games again. You look at the shooting. A higher percentage from the floor a higher percentage from three a higher percentage from the free throw line. But i gave you all the reason why they're down three to because they're minus thirty two outfits glaze there a shot the other team shop twenty five more free throws you've turned them all over fourteen more time that's why even though you're out hearing them across the board define yourself down three two so with the scott foster syndrome in full operation mode tonight. Is it possible that scott foster is feeling some personal pressure to to be more fair. The usual with criminal will. He tried to go the other way. Well he tried to. Give chris of more favourable whistle tonight. I doubt it but but it could play in reverse. What does it read it. You know how you go into look the officials are. What did they say. Chris don't even worry about it. he'll go that day warms up. Well maybe he knows he knows the first thing in the morning he probably gets up. Probably okay who at nine eastern time. Who who's officiating. I gave trust me. That's what they do because that has huge act game. oh he lives out. That is correct. Okay so now. That brings us back to chris. Paul right now through the first five games in this series devon booker and plus minus is a plus twenty seven all the time. He's been on the floor. They have been ahead by twenty seven years chris paul and all the time he has been on the floor through five games. The team is a minus three. So they have lost by three points with chris on the floor. He is the only phoenix starter. Who is a minus in plus minus. What does that tell you that chris. Paul has ridden the wildest roller coaster. I think i've ever seen because i don't know from night tonight. What to expect from it. I don't know from quarter to quarter what to expect when you get when you get is age kip. I mean halio okay. And he's he's having to exert a lot because think about it when he played when he played the game. He's gotten a bad bail. Go put more pressure on. Nobody well he does. I know he's gonna make you more will we were holiday. I got it. You're right which is why you made the point the other night. They don't put it switch off onto talk. Okay go stand in the corner. We're talk okay. I got it but some nights. Chris looks every bit of thirty six gold in every bit of sixteen years in this league. And there's some nights it looks like he has to really effort up. He has to work hard just to get up to shoot his three Get it to the bathroom and in the fourth quarter the other night he caught fire. I don't get it and we go back a series against the clippers and you're You're campaigning so make for campaign to play a few more minutes and you to watch. I agreed with you because he gives them a for. He gives them some electricity because he is so lightning. Quick and yet in this series cameron payne is been nowhere to be found. Their whole bench has been no where they've been awful and coddington importers are really the only two guys that coming ticket. Critique is played a little bit off the band yeah but is mainly been caught up in importers and he played. Everybody does come from torrey craig. That's nestle models twenty Cameron johnson might have thirty something. Cameron payne minus twenty something. They'd been ram shack. Okay to may bitch art books. So can we get a game. Six clippers staples game from chris. Paul tonight a forty-one grants will that guy who he scored twenty seven in basically the last quarter it was a couple minutes to the third and fourth scored. Twenty seven points against the clippers. Shot him right out of their own. Jam is lebron's gym. But they were they were renting right right right so the point is could could he. Is he capable of doing that. To milwaukee i guess so but scott foster there again. I would up the line minus seven right now. You already did against the nuggets game. Thirty thirty seven thirty.

"Is in a nutshell But i'm gonna take the books also. They've only lost one game in which holiday scored twenty plus points normally. He gets to that number. They win ballgames. I think the only game they lost they lost to atlanta when he scored twenty points other than that they become unbeatable because john is going to be honest and now he gets other guys to come along with him. Also chris middleton gave one and two every theories has been dragging. You look at game three through seven if it goes that loan. He shoots ten percent higher average eight more points. A game started picking up a little bit in game three. In normally he really takes off game four through seven skip. I won't take the bucks not four and a half points. But i haven't seen the haven't shown that remember skilled janas average damped party against him in the regular season he's liftoff he's thirty four and a half and fourteen and a half. I don't really know they if they can't stop them now. They've had extra days to put in the wall or the fence or whatever they turned they want to you to keep. John is out of that restricted area to shots inside the burnside. Five hundred and fourteen in game three well. They got their work cut out for have had extra days to prepare to come. Would've game come up with a plan to try to limit jaanus. Okay john this is showing you. He can beat you. I believe chris middleton has shown you throughout these playoffs he can beat you with a twenty three point one quarter of twenty point and the big theories that he had against the man in games five six and seven. I don't believe lopez. I don't believe took her and i don't believe holiday can scored enough to beat you so if i most thin help for eytan or anybody garden janas is gonna come from one of those three guys. But i like the books tonight. Okay i have now talked myself back into phoenix tonight. Even though they're four and a half point dog because the harder. I look game three everything that could have gone wrong for. Phoenix went wrong. And it started with devon booker. He was suffering from hamstring tightness. Coming off game two into game three and he wasn't quite right. It was plaguing him to some extent. And i told you i was shocked. At how how little he could separate early from middleton than holiday took him then tucker took him in the second half and he couldn't get his usual separation elevation to get the clean jump shots that he usually creates. I think from what. I've been that he's doing better. That he's recovered some and that he'll be closer to book tonight and he has a long history but his history in this league. Short time that he's been in. This league has been bad game. Good game bad game really good game bad game. Great game where. He's got the kind of basketball backbone. We says okay this. I'm not gonna let that happen again. And the numbers aren't staggering in his bounce back games but they're pretty good. He's averaged twenty four and back bounced back games. And i expect him to score twenty five ish tonight which is devon booker as opposed to going three for fourteen in one for seven and scoring ten points so twenty-five will will tilt it back a little bit in favor of the sun so bad finishes from the three half. We have in two out of the three games we have except he he down the stretch your game too. He was lights out and and he turned. Milwaukee's lights out in phoenix. Okay now we get to the referee situation that i opened the show half heating about. But this is no joke to me. Scott foster is a joke to me because the harder i look at it the more i think about it. He just a bad referee. And i don't know why the nba loves them. You brought up the donigi situation that he was very close to him and they had hundreds of phone call back and forth. And i i have no idea. The nba never explained that away. It was just facts and donigi. Himself in subsequent interviews is talked about. He's just got some issue. Going with. Chris and the nba has allowed it to go on. So chris has lost his last twelve games in playoffs refereed. By scott foster in it was really wrong for game three and you could just see how wrong. It was going for. Chris because he got off to a pretty good start memory made is i three shots and he scored six points. They're looking to jump shots in the first quarter and then he scored four in the second quarter. They scored three in the third quarter because he was losing heart. And i gotta show the one call that scott foster maidens is when the game was still hanging in the balance in here we go what lou this look at janas. Run over jae crowder and guess. What scott foster calls he koffler fouls a foul on jae crowder. You're kidding me scott. That's a joke. You're a joke. And i hope we don't see you again in the finals knowing the nba. They may be forced. They may be pressure to bring him back for some game to say we back our raff. We're not gonna let the internet dictate. Who refs or it ref. So again they post it. Nine eastern time of six year los angeles who the crew is for. Tonight it's james. Capers is the crew chief david guthrie and court in kirkland. I like court and croquet on okay but the point is i've told you mark davis and chris. Paul are fairly. They're friendly. they're they're pretty close. So when when mark is in charge chris's really in his comfort zone. I'm not saying. He gives. Calls dr chris but chris trust that. He's going to get a real even-handed whistle mark davis and i'm hoping mark davis comes back because he did do game. Six against the clippers game one of the files. And i'm hoping we see him again and again for game five but this is a neutral crew for me right. We're there's no scott foster but there's no mark davis either so it's somewhere in the middle so i'm going to say it's more advantaged sons because they're not going to be haunted by having to see scott foster on the floor thinking we don't have a shot here which brings me to eight nine remember. It was scott fosters. Mostly his doing that. Eight and got in early. Quick yell trouble in what happened. He played five minutes of the second-half so to your point. All those stats that you read. If if your primary defender of janas place five minutes of the second half and they are tentative minutes. Because he's he's like on thin ice. Like i don't know i don't want to get in deeper foul trouble again. I thought money should have gone back to him and just said right back with it just fell out. Fell out of the game was slipping away in the quarter but he tried to save him and it didn't work so five minutes two points you got from deondraye. Eight in the second half. What if he can last for forty minutes tonight when he gets a fair whistle or just plays a clean game. Burbank's thanks get. He's the only big he is it. But your stat says that he's decent again. I'm not gonna say he's a great as gonna shut down but he is decent because he's he's tall and long enough to bother yonathan muscle crowder below muscle. He's gonna muscle everyone. Just just going to loom over this. He can literally go over. Jae crowder back. Yes and get an offensive rebound by snatching it. Out of his hands. He win over. Somebody got in got an am one. Yeah like cam johnson. I love him as a player. But he's not physical enough to create any havoc in the middle. No and who else against.

"And i don't know i think double digits are kind of whatever today's nba but But i think i'm gonna take your pick. Take your pick game two or three. I mean i think both well. I'll just say three because not just because of the win but because it came after game two where you just exerted all that energy and what happened was like you like the stakes of game. Three i feel were a lot higher. Wears your at home and you don't come out and have this epoch performance. There's a good reason in said like you should think that you'll lose your seasons. Basically over you're gonna go down to three so for him to kind of back that up. I thought it was just like super duper impressive and granted. His teammates did play better granted. Eight and wasn't foul trouble. But i mean those fouls were because of yanez. So i'm not going to discredit at all and scott foster elo. Yes great wonderful. I just thought it was. I'm not. I don't find any ref conspiracies or anything like that. I just laughed. When i saw the scott foster was roughing game three knowing that chris. Paul has not even hiding his disdain for in press conferences anymore it felt like a little bit of a troll. It was just funny. It was just funny. Yeah we can just say real quick like what do people expect. He's not. he's a playoff referee. I agree i gonna. He's gonna win the fine. he is he is. He was always gonna win this series. And i think he's a perfectly fine and i think if anything the league needs to step in and be like chris you can't be going after officials personally in your postgame press conferences..

"I'm Kevin Winter. That'll do it for us Something always on halftime report Testing JB Doris, If you go back to the point, it was 36 30. Sons with the lead 95 left in the second quarter ever Since then, it was a 39 barraged by Milwaukee. My goodness, they lead by 15 as they start the second half here in a must win Game three back to adviser for him. Thanks a lot. Kevin. We're just watching the replay of David Bakhtiari, the Packers lineman not only chugging a beer, but his dad Chuck to David like that's my dad. Everybody in the building really enjoying that second quarter. Let's look at second half adjustments, which brings US stores to the Phoenix Suns, who had a negative 18 minus 18 2nd quarter, their worst differential in any quarter so far this post season, so the down 15. They gave up seven offensive rebounds for 10 points, seven turnovers, 10 points. We match the physicality Stop being reactive. And how about this Yannis holiday and came in scored or assisted on all 60 points there being outplayed by their stars? To me, This is as much jp about disposition as it is excellent. I'm with you there getting outplayed. They're getting out Hustle. There's no doubt about it. So what can you do? Well, maybe you could get some second chance opportunities. They have zero. They only have three offensive rebounds. They've missed 25 shots. That's not a good ratio and then obviously you got to make some threes. They're two of 14 tonight. In the first half. They were 11 of 24 in the first half of game to a difference of 27 points that meddling credit Milwaukee because their defense has been remarkably better than it was in Game one until And that's Doris 0.7 turnovers in the half. They only had 13 in all of Game one. They only had nine in all of Game two. And here we go in Game three. The Bucks needing a win to avoid that. Giant chasm of a three series deficit of which no team has ever come back in any playoff round. In fact, in the NBA finals when it's two games to none, Only four teams have come back the last to do it. The 2016 Cleveland Cavaliers against Golden State were set for the start of the third quarter. It will be prouder Poll 80 Bridges and Booker on the floor for Phoenix Holiday. Middleton, Yannis, Tucker and Lopez for the Bucks and me. Sons will go from right to left as we watch it here to open this third quarter, handing it off the Booker Booker knocking down the Tucker and an offensive foul as a call from Scott Foster. That's number two on Devin Booker. I gotta be honest, if you can always on it if you want to call that How about we start calling Janice on the offensive charges when he's playing through the chest, like Am I crazy? There was that enough contact there on this play in the finals upfront when yams is playing bully ball slightly crazy, But I agree with you. Here's Chris Middleton, firing it back to holiday ball Fake on the three gets by. Booker finds Lopez on the wing. He's going to drive into double coverage flips it up goes off and into the hands of 18 nearly tied up by Booker. That time no whistle. Here's Booker on the drive from the right wing stops at It passed into the lane to 18, who is fouled in between Lopez and Middleton, Brook Lopez will get called for the personal foul. How about if your Phoenix getting out in transition as well? Right? There was too fast break points. They had 20 in Game one. This is a team that wants to play quicker. They're not only they're not being able to do that, primarily because Milwaukee is putting the basket ball in the hoop. First foul against Milwaukee means side of Phoenix into DeAndre Ayton hands it off to Booker and another quick foul on Tucker, who was all over Booker trying to stay with him as he came curling along the perimeter, and that's two quick fouls against the Bucks here in the opening minute of the third, and I don't want to pick on the officials but ticky tack that I just Don't understand it and bound to Booker finds space medium range. Gay is good. And Devin Booker's got his first two of the 3rd 13 point. Milwaukee lead at 60 47 holiday into the middle of the lane passes to nobody, in particular out of bounds on the far side of the field goal..

How Zamboni Driver Helped Carolina Hurricanes Win Big Game
"We can't begin the show without talking about the biggest story to hit hockey since what out. Foster Scott Foster. Probably the Glorious Song I don't know so. What was the last hockey story to get on the today? Show Leyla Anderson. Probably and you know what's interesting about it to me. I mentioned Scott Foster. Is that happened two years ago and one of the more interesting things the way he handled in the blackhawks handle is he got all these requests. He was asked to go on Jimmy Kimmel and the Today Show People magazine. And he turned it all down because he wanted to be about the franchise throat. Meanwhile Dave Ayers technically property of the Carolina Hurricanes Right now. We know they don't say Tom. I'm going to rename top golf. Airs Ball David Errors. Of course is the forty two year old goalie from Whitby Ontario pro previously experienced in the Allan Cup Hockey League where he played for the Norwood Vipers. For Eight Games He was the is the Zamboni Goal Zamboni driver for the Toronto Police H. L. Affiliate the Toronto Marlies He became just the third emergency goaltender in the modern era to play in the NHL when he went out and played for the Carolina Hurricanes against the Toronto Maple leafs on Saturday evening the marlies Zamboni driver playing for the enemy and You know he beat the leafs as everybody knows but are you surprised that the like the hurricanes if there was any team in the league where I was like. This is a team that could play that. Well in front of Amateur goaltender like maybe Dallas would be the number one. Maybe the islanders would be just by the systems they play but Carolina basically saying you. Don't get the PUCK ANYMORE TO THE TORONTO. Maple leafs was something. That was entirely predictable in this. In this scenario my opinion I don't think the hurricanes got enough credit for this guy getting the win one hundred even like after the Game Rod. Rod brindamour comes into the locker room. Talk about how the team played in front of that guy for that guy. Four David eyres eight. Which is an incredible thing. And you know what I was just talking about. Who Remembering when his team had a goalie. That didn't show up. She showed up late so they they had to play six on five. Like we couldn't score a goal on the empty night. Even I mean it's amazing. How the mind works how. The effort level works in that Carolina Hurricanes team. You can't say enough about. I Mean David. Eyres only had eight eight eight saves on ten shots. I mean you know you put a lot of guys in the net with a a modicum of of skill In the position and have that performance in front of them. They're going to have some success so all the credit to him for stepping in there and getting in front of pox but man that I mean Jake Gardner was just laying out out there. I mean it was unbelievable to watch imagine if Michael Hutchinson head that Michael Hutchinson now property of the Colorado Avalanche. Because of course we're going to talk about the trade deadline. But you know I think the reason why this story resonates with so many people is that in the little child and all of us. It's the dream of a fairytale at forty two years old. He's the second oldest player ever to make his. Nhl Debut. And I guess just to put a tie on this as we get into the trade deadline talk. Think BACK TO MEETING SCOTT. Foster one year after his big day where he was the accountant. Ben Saved what was it? Fourteen minutes of scoreless hockey for the Chicago Blackhawks against the then mighty would peg jets and you know he didn't do any interviews for a year and he said at one point. I called it the incident and I had to tell myself just because you take advantage of an opportunity doesn't mean you can enjoy it so I'm just glad that day there is enjoying and enduring with all of us because we all seem to be enjoying it
