Tiger Woods Crash Talk and Border Tolls and NBA Rumors

Snow in almost April puts us in the perfect mood to rant, and we do not waste it. We start with the small stuff, weather, tires, and daily annoyances, then pivot into celebrity news that gets uncomfortable fast. Tiger Woods’ latest crash talk turns from internet jokes into a real question about injury, medication, impairment, and what accountability looks like when the whole world is watching your worst moments.

From there we get into the Alan Ritchson punch video and why these “regular person versus celebrity” run-ins feel so staged now. We talk motive, escalation, and the growing belief that some people go looking for a lawsuit payday. That naturally rolls into policing and personal responsibility, including RCMP undercover tactics, seatbelt basics, and why using your phone behind the wheel is still happening when every car can handle hands-free.

Then it becomes a full sports podcast sprint: NBA expansion rumors with Las Vegas and Seattle, what it could mean for the league, and why fans still miss the Seattle SuperSonics. We debate the Lakers, LeBron’s evolving role next to Luka, and the MVP mess with SGA, Jokic, and Victor Wembanyama, especially the idea that defense should matter as much as highlights. Subscribe, share this with a friend who argues sports like we do, and leave a review with your MVP pick and your hottest take.

Sponsor Read And Winter Rage

SPEAKER_00 0:10

Hey everybody, welcome back to You Would Think with Bobby D and our new sponsor, Dasani. Keeps you hydrated all day long. There, I did my job. Pay Mayor check. Now, why is it minus 10 out? It's almost April. I've had enough, man. My tires go on on Monday.

SPEAKER_00 0:36

I hate snow. I've had enough.

Tiger Woods Crash And Rehab Talk

SPEAKER_01 0:38

It's early, man. I told you, it's early. Take your switch your tires.

SPEAKER_00 0:41

Well, you know who'd be switching the tires should be Tiger Woods because there's something wrong with his tires. I saw the three funniest videos I've ever seen. It showed a NASCAR car come around the corner and sliding on the side and goes, Look, Tiger Woods trying to go home in Jupiter, Florida. And there was a couple of other ones, and I'm like, so here's what's funny. As I saw those, I'm like, did he get in a car accident? Then I had to go online and I went, oh no, here we go. Rolled it again. Rolled it again. Yeah. This guy cannot drive. They talk about Chinese drivers back in the day.

SPEAKER_01 1:11

He blew 0.0 on the for uh the limit there. So he didn't have a drop of alcohol in him.

SPEAKER_00 1:17

So yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:19

And he flat out told him, he said, listen, I you know, I think when he got when he got busted, like they said, he was pretty definitely showing signs of impairment, but he went right into, you know, I've been injured. Here's, you know, all these injuries, all these surgeries I've had. So he's potentially admitting to the fact that he's, you know, he's gone a bunch of different on a cocktail of drugs or whatever, but that's how he got his DUI in 2017.

SPEAKER_00 1:38

But it's like four different times he's been pulled over. So either he's got a serious addiction problem that we don't know about, but his back's been bad forever. He's probably had to be on pills for a long time. And so I told you, man, he's stuck on those SSRIs and their problems back then.

SPEAKER_01 1:51

That's after that first accident, right? Like when remember when his wife uh broke his tibia and phibia smashing the window, like he got caught cheating or whatever. Oh well, okay. But anyway, yeah, I mean, fuck in. Tiger Woods.

SPEAKER_00 2:05

It's what a false.

SPEAKER_01 2:07

He must have been in like in rehab or whatever for last time, right? He's part of the DUI. Must he had going to one of those.

SPEAKER_00 2:14

Yeah, the latest I think I just saw is you know, he was part of that golf thing. And then they go, Oh, you're coming back to the master. He's like, I'd like to, and then no well.

SPEAKER_01 2:22

Like, he's he's probably like, oh shit, I better start training again, start working out. He's probably in a lot of pain. Starts taking up in his meds, and if he mixes it, mixes them all, like, fuck, man.

SPEAKER_00 2:32

Anyway, you gotta wonder though, like, how did you flip his car again? Yeah, like well, he hit the he hit the the the what do you call fire hydrant, right?

SPEAKER_01 2:39

But still, like he got out, I sort of like heard he climbed out the like passenger window or whatever, the drug you know, or the driver's side window, but the car was like flipped up, right?

SPEAKER_00 2:46

So he's just gonna go, this isn't gonna go well. What are you gonna do, right? Yeah, well anyway.

SPEAKER_01 2:52

Well, it's too bad because like we talked about, man, the guy was a Venom, right? And after that first accident, yeah. Uh you know, and he didn't like you said he broke his fibia tibia, like he's he's never been the same, right?

SPEAKER_00 3:04

You know, I thought he was making the comeback, but now that's over pretty much.

SPEAKER_01 3:06

Yeah, he's still had you'll still have a good round here or there, but yeah. Well, here's the thing, you can't he's he's 50, he's my age.

SPEAKER_00 3:12

Yeah, you can't even show your face now because they're gonna so you're drinking problem, you got it under control. Right? What are you happy, Gilmore? Like, show me a cucumber.

SPEAKER_01 3:19

But he's not magically gonna be able to like start uh rehabbing or uh getting better faster. Like I said, I'm 50, man. Everything fucking hurts now. Like, I mean it doesn't hurt, but you know what I mean.

Alan Ritchson Fight And Setup Claims

SPEAKER_00 3:28

We all know what you mean, yeah. You know, I'm still 37, but you know, on top of that. Well, here's the thing. I I bet you that guy's face hurts that Alan Richard punched. Yeah, so we were laughing about that, but uh I saw that, I'm like, well, I mean, that's assault. You can't shove a guy off his motorcycle. What did you expect's gonna happen to you donkey? Right? He got punched in the face by six, four, two hundred and forty-pound shredded man. He's a monster, yeah. He's a monster. Yeah, this fat dude came out and uh started yelling at him. How did you think that was gonna end? Like, what in your mind? Like, uh when you want to interview, so what did you think was gonna happen, sir? You think you're gonna both shake hands with a whole thing?

SPEAKER_01 4:00

Well, I told you what they thought was gonna happen because you can see it's to me it seemed like a setup. You try to set him up that the neighbor was up in the window filming down the whole filming the whole thing, and and the only thing that got released was you know the guy throwing them being thrown to the ground and and and and Alan uh Richson punching him. Yeah, right. And he's like, Oh, I was trying to be polite, telling them like, you know, really you shouldn't be driving you can't be driving through the neighborhood like this.

SPEAKER_00 4:22

But if you actually watch the video, the guy's like berating him, yep, verbally abusing him like it's crazy, right? Right. He's he's something's wrong with the man mentally, obviously, and now something's wrong with him physically because he got shit beat out of him.

SPEAKER_01 4:34

He stepped in front of the mortar bike as it was coming down the road, right? Yeah, anyway. I don't feel bad for that guy in the least. Not even a little bit. I laughed when I found it.

SPEAKER_00 4:41

I thought it was similar to the case.

SPEAKER_01 4:43

I didn't know if it was uh like obviously it was a a a blatant attempt. Well, me and the neighbor the neighbors all saw it, they have it on video. It was a blatant attempt to try and make Alan Richon. Well, guess what? And I got it on tape. What is it? I was telling you the quote something like uh never interrupt your enemy when he's making a making a mistake, and it's like this is like a day or two before he released the body cam what he's that he had because he had a camera on it.

SPEAKER_00 5:04

Obviously, that guy's been a pain in the ass the entire time he's lived in the neighborhood, right? Yeah, and I would suggest also that guy's probably a pain in the ass to everybody. He might be, right? You know what I mean? Oh, this guy's famous. Okay, so he's famous, and the famous guy punched you in your face.

SPEAKER_01 5:18

Yeah, yeah. Well, like we said, how many people like goad these celebrities, uh at professional athletes into trying to hit them so they can then take them to court, right?

SPEAKER_00 5:27

Sue.

SPEAKER_01 5:27

Yeah, easy money.

SPEAKER_00 5:28

Easy money, bro.

SPEAKER_01 5:29

Even if it's not, even if it doesn't go to court, you settle, you get a payment, right?

RCMP Stings Plus Seatbelts And Phones

SPEAKER_00 5:33

They always settle, and then you gotta sign an NDA, keep your mouth shut. Yeah, right. Well, uh, so you were we were talking last week about the RCMP, you know, pretending they're homeless people so they could catch people in the act of doing uh whatever. It doesn't matter what it is, but they caught them. And you were saying there was a lot of uproar over it.

SPEAKER_01 5:48

Well, there's like a lot of difference of opinion on whether it was, you know, what they did was you know, was right or not, I guess. But it's I mean, it's obviously.

SPEAKER_00 5:55

Have you never watched a police movie where there's two people in a room and their microphone and the bad guys come in and they go, You a cop? Nope. You have to tell me if you are, I'm not a policeman. And then just shut up, people. Go go look at their laws before you go bitching and complaining. And here's the thing abide by the laws, Mike, and you don't have to bitch and complain.

SPEAKER_01 6:13

Well, that's what I said, right?

SPEAKER_00 6:14

Why the fuck aren't you wearing a seatbelt?

SPEAKER_01 6:16

12 people without a seatbelt. Why aren't you wearing a seatbelt? Yeah, no, I agree.

SPEAKER_00 6:20

This is not the 70s.

SPEAKER_01 6:21

Same with the phones. Like, get off your phones, man.

SPEAKER_00 6:23

Like all the cars now, your phone goes through your car, right? If it doesn't, buy a cord and stick it in. It all they all do it, like unless you're driving a 1970 fucking Ford hatchback bullshit. But yeah, like well, even those cars have the old have the uh that old shut up. I don't know what that is. The old school um lighter plug. Yeah, yeah. And they so every car has it. You do not have to talk on your phone anymore. But everybody is so enamored and so used to it, you just automatically.

SPEAKER_01 6:53

Well, I think because it was such a different tactic. They've never seen them employed here, I guess. Like I don't give a fuck.

SPEAKER_00 6:59

Fuck you, you're breaking the law. I don't give a fuck what you think. Shut up, go back to your fucking trailer. I was okay. That came out really wrong. I didn't mean like a trailer park. I was thinking Alan Richardson again and like packing it. Anyway, regardless, let it go. Uh so this whole thing, people breaking the law and you got caught, you're mad. Yeah, that's it. Get over it, right? Get over it.

SPEAKER_01 7:21

How many times do people apologize for something, but they don't apologize until they're caught, obviously, right? Like you're never gonna get away from the colour. Well, here's what I made a mistake, I'm gonna get in front of this now.

SPEAKER_00 7:29

Why are you sorry? I'm sorry I got caught.

SPEAKER_01 7:30

Yeah, exactly.

SPEAKER_00 7:30

That's why they're sorry, right? Like it's like the Nickelback song, you know, they says uh we got busted for breaking into the high school. No, yeah. Says we must have done it a half a dozen times. We only got caught once.

SPEAKER_01 7:40

Yeah.

New Brunswick Border Toll Blowback

SPEAKER_00 7:41

Right, okay. So RCMP, good on them. Uh now, here's the part that bothers me. What's New Brunswick do? Why are you putting a toll road? Oh, yeah. Yeah, that annoys me. What's the donkey's name? What's it what's the prime minister? I think her name's Susan. Oh, sorry, not prime minister, premier. Yeah. Susan? Susan, you need to quit immediately. You cannot put. Tell them why they can't do it, Mike. What do they just try to do about the private province thing?

SPEAKER_01 8:07

Well, they're trying to remove the inter interprovention trade barriers, right? Right.

SPEAKER_00 8:10

They're trying to remove it.

SPEAKER_01 8:11

So it seems very counter-counterproductive to what we're trying to do here in China.

SPEAKER_00 8:15

She puts in something different. Now you're okay. Papers.

SPEAKER_01 8:18

Well, it's because they're running a record deficit. They need to figure out where ways to make it.

SPEAKER_00 8:22

But you don't hurt your friends.

SPEAKER_01 8:23

No, that's what I mean.

SPEAKER_00 8:24

That's like, you know, you and me going, okay, Mike, can I get six bucks for gas?

SPEAKER_01 8:27

Get the f out of here.

SPEAKER_00 8:28

Like, what do you think?

SPEAKER_01 8:29

Hey, you build new highways, you build something new. I don't know. Put a toll on. This is just, hey, we need we need to make some money. So we're gonna put a toll on. And they and they reduce the toll uh significantly to go off the PEI as well. Correct. Right. Way down. Now we still have the Cobaquid pass toll. Right. That's I don't drive. Yeah. So there's still that toll there. And it's the same, it's gonna operate the same way that if you're like within Nova Scotia, you don't pay the toll that's that's fair, but this is different. No, this is the same. It's like uh New Brunswickers aren't going to, but everybody else is. So where where it affects it is because of the position of it, it's put right at the border. So that border community, so Amherst is gonna have to anybody that from Amherst that goes over and works. Tell them what they don't know about New Brunswick is gonna have to.

SPEAKER_00 9:12

The First Nations people. Tell them what you don't know if you don't know. The First Nations people have to go from one province to the other to go to school. Oh, that was from Quebec, right? But I'm just saying, they see people travel, that happens. Yeah, right. So this lady, oh, this is a great idea. No, it's not a great idea. Resign immediately. Good lord. It's like that donkey in Toronto. We don't have a crime problem, and his car was stolen like three times. Right. Like, how many times do you need to be stolen before you just no?

SPEAKER_01 9:40

I mean, it's uh it really does suck, though. I mean, it's figuring out ways to try and correct the deficit, I get it, but it's just not, I don't, I don't think that's the right call.

SPEAKER_00 9:48

I had a friend that I work with. She drove up to New Brunswick this weekend because her son is moving in with his girlfriend, so they took all this stuff up there so you can move in. So that can't be a normal drive anymore. That's you're gonna have to pay next.

SPEAKER_01 10:02

Anytime I need to go visit any anytime I need to go to the game. Anytime we need to go visit. If you want to visit my brother, my mom, my sister, it's all gonna be Well, now you have a great excuse. To not go, you mean?

SPEAKER_00 10:11

Yeah, I can't afford the six dollars and twenty-five cents.

SPEAKER_01 10:14

Yeah, whatever it's gonna be. Uh whatever.

TSA Shutdown And Paying Workers

SPEAKER_00 10:16

Well, I don't know what it is. Whatever, right? Yeah, yeah. Okay, well, speaking of not having money, the TSA thing bothers me. How can you just stop paying people when they're working? Like the whole government and this politics is such bullshit. That whole thing about, you know, well, we we're not gonna give money till this and this and this, but people are still working and need to be paid. Yeah. What is that? There was a uh uh uh thing the other day I read that said like 70 or 75 percent of most people in North America are paycheck to paycheck. We know that, and look what's happening.

SPEAKER_01 10:50

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 10:50

And I couldn't believe I when I went to deep dive, I'm like, what did you guys do together?

SPEAKER_01 10:54

And then the expectation is that they keep working because they'll get back pay when they eventually approve the funding, but that's still it's not helping right now, pay bills and things like that.

SPEAKER_00 11:02

Yeah, you gotta pay big mortgage.

SPEAKER_01 11:03

More and more people, more and more of the TSA agents are actually like calling in, or they've quit or they've alright quit, right? Because it's the second time now in l in a year that they've that they've uh that government has had a shutdown or a partial shutdown and it's affecting people's pay.

SPEAKER_00 11:17

Didn't you say Trump just made an executive order to get these people paid? He did. Good for him, because people need to be paid, man.

SPEAKER_01 11:22

Good for him, but then he's also out there saying don't make any deals whatsoever with Democrats. And so it's at the same time, it's like he's just like, no, it's either my way or the highway, but I'm gonna just do this. And and anyway, even then, I don't know if he's just allowed to do that. I don't know if it's it's still something that Congress is responsible for the funding. I'm not I don't know the American political system that well.

SPEAKER_00 11:41

Um Well, it was the uh Department of Homeland Security that put the kibosh on it, right? They said we're not giving any more money, didn't they?

SPEAKER_01 11:48

Oh no, it's all about it's all about getting uh like it had like funding approvals have to go through the through the government. And so this was just their new their new funding package to like uh increase funding or whatever it is for for the whole department of Department of Homeland Security, which includes ICE and Border Patrol, and that's the point where the Democrats are saying they don't want any funding in there for ICE and Border Patrol, or they want changes to it uh so that these guys aren't essentially given a blank check to keep doing what they're doing without checks and balance. Right.

SPEAKER_00 12:18

So at the end of the day, my thing is pay the people that are working. What are you doing? You need those people, those are the people that secure your borders.

SPEAKER_01 12:24

Anyway. Doesn't matter. That you know, those people aren't getting paid, man. It's uh politicians there.

Gas Prices And No Kings Protests

SPEAKER_00 12:37

I saw another great picture the other day and says it showed uh polit okay, it showed uh a doctor that makes five hundred thousand dollars a year and showed his house. And it shows a politician makes$300,000 a year and shows their house. What? Like, why is their house worth$4 million and where'd they get all the money? Yeah, yeah. Oh, all right, insider trading, that's okay. Yeah, thanks, Nancy Pelosi, you num nuts. Um gas is still a fortune. Well, it's not gonna change for a long time, man. Half a tank,$53. Huh? Yeah, yeah. Like, okay. Uh I thought it was gonna go down. Like, uh, didn't they open it up for like one tanker straight a promotion?

SPEAKER_01 13:14

Yeah, they're it's back and forth. I think for letting people through for a price, I'm sure. Oh, yeah, that's probably what's going on. Yeah. Anyone that's uh that's staying neutral, I think, on it, maybe not even then, but uh they're they're letting some ships through, but not a lot.

SPEAKER_00 13:28

Well, yeah, the one they let through was like a Thailand ship. Like Thailand's got nothing to do with it. All the lady boys are coming back home. Let them go. Let them go. Yeah. For my rant, see, there's another problem there. Anyway. All right, so uh I saw you said there was a bunch of these, but I didn't see it. There's a no kings rally. Is the no kings like they don't want him to be a king? Is that what this all does?

SPEAKER_01 13:46

Well, they've they they've been doing them for years now. They call them the no kings rally, so that's exactly what it is.

SPEAKER_00 13:50

Because everybody's against the war. I got news for you. No shit! Nobody wants the war. And I said to Mike, I said, I don't even think Trump wants the war. He was told he has to. Nobody wants war. And he's the guy who said that coming in, go, I'm not gonna have any wars. So somebody bent him over and told him this is how it's gonna be.

SPEAKER_01 14:05

Yeah, that's the way I see it. There's there's more, it's the way it goes. It's you know, they they want something or they're or Israel wants uh something, right? Like, what did I see the other day? Something about Israel's uh just opened up a new The oil. Uh right. Yeah, yeah, new oil refinery or whatever it is anyway. A new oil field, maybe is what it is. It's like, hey, why don't you buy your oil from Israel now instead, right? But it's it's you know, it's they all have something that they're after. U.S. is after something as well, right? But like remember, he said I'm not gonna get involved in any foreign interference whatsoever, and they've already done they've already gotten rid of Maduro, which again, Maduro needed to go, but you know, uh the way you did it.

SPEAKER_00 14:44

Those people are happy, but yeah.

SPEAKER_01 14:45

Yeah, some of them are, yeah. It's the same in Iran. Some people will be happy with uh the fact that they you know that they're pushing for a regime change, but there's also people that aren't, right? So yeah.

SPEAKER_00 14:55

That's the problem.

SPEAKER_01 14:56

Yeah.

Live-Action Moana Gets Roasted

SPEAKER_00 14:57

Uh you showed me the picture. Uh the Moana. Yeah. The live action Moana. He looks like a drag queen. He looks stupid. He looks like a drag queen. Uh Disney. His his hair does not mat. I think what I said to you, I said we're so used to seeing him bald. Yeah. With that giant ass RuPaul wig on, doesn't look normal.

SPEAKER_01 15:20

So I can say, like, I used to love the the the cartoons. Like uh first off, I don't think I've ever seen the Moana one, so I can't say much. But again, why are you doing a live action remake when the the the cartoon itself is not even 10 years old, right? Like oh, he needs money. He's probably broke. Well, it's not him. I mean Disney's doing it, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it's uh but you know, like uh I don't think I've no to anything. I didn't watch, I don't think I've watched any of those live action remakes. I know my wife watched the Beauty and the Beast one, she said that one was good. I never saw that. Uh but I just haven't watched any of them, and I I'm just I don't know, I'm not interested.

SPEAKER_00 15:51

Like, I saw Jumanji and I'm not going any further. Oh yeah. Yeah. I'm just saying. But yeah, the pictures look hilarious.

SPEAKER_01 15:59

They look stupid with that stupid wig on.

SPEAKER_00 16:01

The wig makes them look real bad. But even the what's so funny is you think about how big the rock was, and then they got him wearing a muscle bodysuit. Yeah. Like, well, you went anorexic. You didn't think about this role, bro. Like just a while ago, you're Mark Curry weighing 300 pounds full of steroids. Yeah. You didn't know about Moana?

SPEAKER_01 16:18

Yeah. Well, he's he's at some point you can't be carrying. That's not good for your heart to be carrying all that weight.

SPEAKER_00 16:23

Yeah, but the Moana character is also not really ripped-ripped. He could have eaten. He's just a big dude, yeah. Yeah, he could have ate a little more carbs and not one of the rocky could have beefed up a little bit, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 16:31

But anyway. Maybe that's just it. Maybe he's just to the point where he just can't be putting it on, taking it off anymore, right? Get to a healthy weight and stay.

NBA Expansion Seattle And Vegas

SPEAKER_00 16:40

Healthy weight's like 240 for a dude your height, right? So anyway, we'll see what happens. All right, so on my cue card for the producer. Thanks, honey. He's looking at me because it's a guy. Uh I'm not game of ruin, is I'm just a real heavy sleeper. What? All right, so NBA wants to bring two more teams in. Yes. They're calling the Las Vegas Venom and Seattle Supersonics. Well, uh, correct me if I'm wrong, Mike. Wasn't it a Supersonics team before? It was. I'm pretty sure I watched that team and they were pretty good.

SPEAKER_01 17:13

They went to OKC.

SPEAKER_00 17:14

That's correct. They went to OKC.

SPEAKER_01 17:15

That's where Kevin Durant started his career with Seattle Supersonics.

SPEAKER_00 17:18

That's right, yeah. Seattle Supersonics, right? Yeah. So now they're saying, okay, two teams got to move. Well, guess who's moving? Well, Memphis doesn't have to be a good thing. Memphis Grizzlies. Minnesota Timberwolves. You said Minnesota. That one surprised me. Well, they said they have to figure something out because they got to move two people over to bring two in, right?

SPEAKER_01 17:33

So I know, but which which which teams are just struggling, right? So again, like I don't know what's going on in Memphis. The bottom five in Minnesota, but Minnesota has been a good team in the West for years, so it's surprising then that they're they're I think it has to do with you know where they're located to, right?

SPEAKER_00 17:47

They have to figure that out.

SPEAKER_01 17:48

Well, yeah, I mean it's all you know, the teams also have to be profitable, right? Well, here's my thing though. And Memphis, like Memphis used to be a really good basketball town, and like, but I think maybe even the locals down there just fed up the link. It's all his fault. But it's you know anyway. Look at OKC. Like they they hit the reset button like a couple of times and look at them now, right? Like you never know.

SPEAKER_00 18:10

You never know, but we'll see when that comes in. But my thing is like remember now, so people are gonna know what you're worth because your team is gonna go, no, I don't I don't cover you, you're you're good to go. And you're gonna go, son of a right?

SPEAKER_01 18:22

Uh I watched uh they've been trying to get a team in Vegas forever.

SPEAKER_00 18:26

Well LeBron wanted to put the wanted to be part owner of the uh the Vegas the Vegas uh football team.

SPEAKER_01 18:32

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_00 18:33

But I don't know what happened to that anyway. He'll go there and probably play.

SPEAKER_01 18:36

Nah.

SPEAKER_00 18:39

But uh I don't know. I mean watered down, you're like you were saying, probably.

SPEAKER_01 18:44

Well, if they're just adding more teams, that's definitely I I didn't look at it yet. I saw I just saw that they announced that the two teams up for consideration or the two cities up for consideration are Seattle and and Vegas. Uh so I I didn't know if that meant so I didn't even know if it meant they were looking at expanding by two teams or if they were looking at just relocating two teams, or if they were just looking at those were the two teams that were being evaluated, and and one of those one of those cities is gonna be a new team.

SPEAKER_00 19:08

But I was watching uh all that smoke, up in smoke, what's it called? All that smoke. All the smoke, yeah. All the smoke. Yep. And they were talking to a player who I don't even know who it was. I didn't see the beginning. Okay. I was watching this guy and listened to him, and I was like, I have no idea who you are, bro. I feel bad. But and they never said his name because they're so high they don't even know what's going on anyway. But what he was saying, he goes, tell us the difference between Kobe and MJ. And the guy goes, MJ's right hand. They go, What? Oh, yeah, that was. I saw that.

SPEAKER_01 19:39

That was uh who was the guy? I can't remember who it was. It was it was it was um, I can't think. Okay, see, I didn't know either. He played with both. He played with both Kobe and with the city.

SPEAKER_00 19:48

Okay, because he kept saying, he goes, some things that Kobe had to do and like touch with the other hand, Mike could just, you know, because the size of the scene.

SPEAKER_01 19:55

Yeah, that's that's old, that's that's old, but I I know who you're talking about because I saw that one as well.

SPEAKER_00 19:58

Well, I didn't say it was new, I was just saying I saw the clip and I was like, yeah, actually, I agree with that. Yeah, because Kawhi Leonard can do some of that shit too with that giant ass claw. The claw whatever he has there. Yeah, but uh I didn't realize Kobe's hands weren't overly big, like my MJs. I didn't even realize. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, but makes a huge difference when you don't have to you know what I mean? You can bomb the ball. Bomb that ball like it's nothing, yeah. Yeah, like it's a softball. Yeah. Um, is this true? I saw a picture of this giant white model, a woman. Yeah. And she's dating Shaq.

SPEAKER_01 20:28

She's not dating Shaq, she met Shaq.

SPEAKER_00 20:30

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_01 20:30

Because I was like, I thought I thought he had a little tiny girlfriend. No, he well, they so they met and and Shaq kind of was like, I think Shaq was like, holy shit, like here's a you know a good looking woman. She's seven two or something, or whatever it is. Like, wow, you were tall. Holy smokes. He he looked like his yeah, I think Shaq, and of course Shaq feel because I think Shaq said afterwards, like, imagine what our babies would look like. Oh, is that yeah, I just quite cut the thing, but something like that anyway. Yeah, good on him. But anyway, yeah, she's uh I've seen her before. She's yeah, she's she's she's a very tall lady, that's for sure.

Lakers Lineups LeBron And Luka Fit

SPEAKER_00 20:59

Oh, yeah, good-looking lady too. So I I just watched the game. Paul George is back. Yep. Looks pretty good. I mean, being over 25 games, but yeah. What else you got to do but shoot shoot around. Yeah, yeah. Really, you know. I mean, we'll see what happens with the Clippers, but uh, they just lost the Lakers again. But what are you gonna do? Um, I laughed at this. The first time ever that I saw playing, except for maybe in the 70s, the Lakers had an all-white all five white dudes on the court at once. I'm like, I didn't even know you guys had five white guys. Who are they?

SPEAKER_01 21:29

They didn't.

SPEAKER_00 21:30

Austin Reese, Luca, Luca, uh Canopal or whatever you say his name.

SPEAKER_01 21:37

Uh he's well, canop Canopal plays for Charlie. Or not not Canopal. Uh the Anyway, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 21:44

TV R is something.

SPEAKER_01 21:47

Yeah, yeah. What is his name? Is it Zach Laravia? I can't remember. Gotcha. All right.

SPEAKER_00 21:53

Zach Laravia. Yeah, anyway, all white. And I'm thinking to myself, the last time I seen an all white uh team on the floor is probably in. The 80s with Utah being the whitest state in America until Carl Malone came in. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And they're like, who's this guy? It's the guy that's going to win you championship. Who has it? No, they didn't, though. I know they didn't. But that's who they were hoping. Yeah. Right? He stayed his whole career. They're good for him. Um, but oh, this is also astounding to me. LeBron, 35 years in the league, 72 years old, has more dunks this year than he's had his entire career in a year.

SPEAKER_01 22:27

That's crazy. Isn't that mind-blowing?

SPEAKER_00 22:29

That makes no sense. I'm like, what? Different role now, man. People are still getting out of his way. People I told you, he's leading the league and fast break points.

SPEAKER_01 22:36

It's crazy. 41 years old. Listen. What's he doing leading the league and fast break points?

SPEAKER_00 22:39

It's not just that. What are the coaches doing? If I'm a coach and the other team, I go, if LeBron scores tonight, you ain't playing for a fucking month.

SPEAKER_01 22:45

Yeah, but you know what, though? Like now, there's when their scouting report goes, it goes, option one is Luca. Option two is Austin. So Austin three is option three is wide open all the time.

SPEAKER_00 22:57

He must love this role because he's like, I get the ball all the time. Nobody's even trying to guard me.

SPEAKER_01 23:02

Since they've gone on this little run and Luca's gone on his on his ridiculous scoring.

SPEAKER_00 23:06

Remember, this is since he's got split with his girlfriend. How much of a bitch was she holding him back and making him fat in Dallas? Shame on you. Well, that's that's a stretch, but I'm just saying we're having fun with it. You know, I didn't know it's probably nice. Yeah, yeah. Um because he wasn't.

SPEAKER_01 23:21

But LeBron's role now is like off the ball. He, you know, he doesn't he doesn't have to carry that burden. Now he's gone like he had that one game we talked about this last week. He had that one game where he was like 13 for 14 or whatever, which is crazy, right?

SPEAKER_00 23:32

Yeah, because nobody's even bothering with him.

SPEAKER_01 23:34

He's and you go look at his stats too. He's only shooting like one or two threes a game now. He's not remember before he was like up to like six, seven shot threes a game.

SPEAKER_00 23:41

Well, because he really worked on his threes for the longest time there.

SPEAKER_01 23:43

And he's not he's not a bad three-point shooter.

SPEAKER_00 23:45

Oh, I him and LeBron him and LeBron. Him and Bronny were playing.

SPEAKER_01 23:49

Yeah, pretty good. They had the first father-son assist in NBA history. LeBron passed it to Bronny, and Bronny hit a three.

SPEAKER_00 23:56

I thought that already happened a while ago, didn't it?

SPEAKER_01 23:58

Well, no, they played together, but he never they never had an assist.

SPEAKER_00 24:01

Oh, okay. Yeah. Tell you something about LeBron. He doesn't believe in a son yet. That's it.

SPEAKER_01 24:05

Yeah, yeah. He's gotta be well. Shut up, bro. The only time Bronny get on the floor is when they'd be emptying the benches, right? That's right. He's starting to get a bit of playing time right now.

SPEAKER_00 24:13

You know what, though? He belongs, man. I don't care what anybody says. Yeah, he's he's all right.

SPEAKER_01 24:16

He's a good player. Like he's you know, he doesn't have to be a good thing.

SPEAKER_00 24:17

He's no Matt McClung.

SPEAKER_01 24:19

Matt McClung just became the all-time G League scorer, man. That's why I'm saying it.

SPEAKER_00 24:23

Not only that.

SPEAKER_01 24:24

He scored like 60 or whatever.

SPEAKER_00 24:26

He's got he's got the most points. He's got two uh two, how many dunks? Three, three dunk contest weeks? Three. Three. Uh, and something else for three is a league. But he can't play in the NBA. He's too white and too slow. He's too small. And that too is what it is. He's too small. Too white, too slow, too small. Right, yeah. Which is a problem because you ever see them when they get it.

SPEAKER_01 24:45

Uh big guy gets a small guy out of him, you can hear them yelling, mouse in the house, mouse in the house. That's what they call, right? It's like mismatch is the same. They do this. Yeah, the mismatch is so bad. And and we saw it with, we talk about this all the time. We saw it with uh you know they better back the bring struck up Isaiah Thomas, right? Like could score, but you become a massive liability, especially come playoff time. And then how can they pay you that much money if you get screwed?

SPEAKER_00 25:08

But who gets screwed worse is Dennis Schroeder. Right? Yeah from the Lakers. Dennis Schroeder, they offered him like 80 million or something. He turned it down. He said, No, I'm good.

SPEAKER_01 25:17

I'm gonna bet on myself.

SPEAKER_00 25:18

Good bet, man. Don't play poker. You suck. And Schroeder's actually a really good player. And he's a great defender.

SPEAKER_01 25:24

They really they could have used him, but anyway, whatever, right? Yeah, no, he's a really good player, but he I don't know.

SPEAKER_00 25:29

I don't know what he was thinking. Let's like Spree. Well, my kid's gonna eat.

Harden Versus Wade Debate

SPEAKER_01 25:32

So here's a here's another thing that I saw the other day at Loudmouth. Pat Bev went out there and said something like James Harden, hands down, is a better player than Dwayne Wade ever was. Like, hands down. Who'd he say that to? Oh, he was just a you know, he's Pat Bev's on one of these podcasts.

SPEAKER_00 25:49

Drunk read Pat, because running off at his mouth. It's ridiculous. That makes no sense.

SPEAKER_01 25:53

Um, and look, you know, and D. Wade came back and said, you know, that's a pretty you can say, like, I feel Was he on the podcast with him? No, no, he was on a different, he was on a different podcast, but he came out and said this, and he's like, you know, like the way Pat Bev said it was a very definitive statement, is whatever, which is based on based backed up by facts, and it's not, right? And and he's like, well, Dwayne got a got a championship, but that doesn't necessarily make him better than Harden. Yeah, sure. Hey, Harden was a great offensive player. Dwayne Wade Stop right there. Yep. Dwayne Wade is a better all-around player player. So you go best shooting guards of all time, Jordan, Kobe. Probably Wade might be number three. You know what I mean? Like, so that's uh, you know, to say Harden's a better player than Wade is is pretty crazy. I'm surprised Dwayne Wade's not in the wheelchair. See, uh remember, I think a lot of people forget. Like, you there's recency bias there with Dwayne Wade. That when Dwayne Wade led Miami to the to the championship that year, Dwayne Wade was like ridiculously good, man. I mean before LeBron. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Dwayne Wade was ridiculously good. And I think people forget about that because LeBron got to Miami, and so people remember being the number two option or whatever, right? Like, yeah. But yeah, don't forget how good the Dwayne Wade was, man. That's right. Not just the coach in the spulster either. Go back and look at his Marquette days, dude. Back in call. Dwayne Wade was a good player, man.

SPEAKER_00 27:03

But like I said, I can't believe he's not in a wheelchair because I don't recall any time down the floor he wasn't laying on the floor. Every single time he'd shoot the balls, he's always laying down. Every layup he's on the ground, right? Every time every single time. Like, how are you even functional? Man, he had some crazy dunks when he was younger, too. Oh, yeah. He was a hell of a player. Yeah. Now he's doing the commentary, I think. Doing commentary with somebody.

SPEAKER_01 27:23

Uh yeah, he does a bit of it all now, right?

SPEAKER_00 27:24

Yeah, why not? You're probably bored to tears.

SPEAKER_01 27:26

Like, you retired at 35. What are you gonna do, man? He has his own podcast as like they all. Well, you have to because all they want to do is talk to their buddies. I don't know who you I don't know who he works for. They're all fucking working for somebody now. Like, I mean, you see, Prime has like Steve Nash, Blake um Griffin. Blake Griffin, Dirk Nowitzki, like Udonus Hassan.

SPEAKER_00 27:43

Whatever happened to Blake Griffin, by the way. He was such a dominant player, he just vanished. Now he's doing commercials for uh Costco and Wayfair. Yep.

SPEAKER_01 27:51

God, it's he's funny, though, man.

SPEAKER_00 27:52

He is funny. Well, now it's a party with Ranch and that I'm like, shut up, man. Yeah, yeah. He is actually funny though. I like him. I like him. He's been in movies, yeah. They made fun of him the other day on a podcast. It was like uh, I think he was on Andrew Sultz's podcast, Fry Flagrant. Oh yeah. And he was talking to him and he goes, uh, you seem pretty white to me. And he goes, I know you're going on uh what you call uh all the smoke. Oh yeah. And he goes, I know you're gonna black it up with those guys for sure. And uh uh he goes, it ain't even gonna be close, bro. Yeah, yeah. He goes, I'm gonna be black there and I'm white here. I'm just saying I am totally different in different places.

SPEAKER_01 28:26

I haven't watched the latest episode there with uh well, maybe it's not the latest episode, but I saw Horace. Uh no, Host No, no, on uh all the smoke. Horace Grant was just on it.

SPEAKER_00 28:34

Oh, Horace Grant.

SPEAKER_01 28:35

I'd like to go hear what he had to say. Especially about the time when, you know, like you know, once he left Chicago and went to Orlando, like the decision why he left Chicago and then what it was like going back and playing against playing against those guys, right? Afterwards, Horace Grant and his famous classes. Yeah, yeah. Hey man, he was good, man. Yeah, yeah. First three championships, like he was he was he was like they don't win those championships. Everybody, you know, Jordan says, I don't win without Pippen. Neither you nor Pippen win without Grant, right? That's right.

MVP Talk SGA Jokic And Wemby

SPEAKER_00 29:01

Damn right on that. Yeah. Um, I'm still mad about the SGA thing with a key MVP. No, how can you be MVP when you're not even leading score? Right? So Luca, Joker, or Wimby should definitely be one of the MVPs, not Shea Gilders Alexander.

SPEAKER_01 29:18

Listen, man, I think uh so like I told you the other day, they asked uh well here's the thing. So the other day they asked Austin Reeves about what did you think about Luca, blah, blah, blah, blah. He's, you know, how many of the crazy scoring screens been on again. And and like Austin Reeves, like responses, and and yet he's still dropping in the MVP race. Explain that to me. Well, your team's in third. You go through stretches, uh, he's not he's an okay defender, but he's not a good defender. I mean, I don't think he's as bad as like everybody makes him out to be, but he's not a he's not a good one. You know what?

SPEAKER_00 29:46

I actually saw some stats, and you're gonna be astounded. It says that 70% of the time he stops his defender.

SPEAKER_01 29:56

Like actually prevents him from even getting to the basket?

SPEAKER_00 29:58

Prevents him from scoring, whatever. Yeah. 70% of the time, I'm like, what? Who is the dude that's doing this, Stevie Wonder?

SPEAKER_01 30:05

There's gotta be individual individual metrics versus like team metrics. So whatever it is, it's it's he's not he's he's very slow footed. Like he's ridiculously slow and he cannot jump. That's his vertical. You get a quick, even that dig it, you get a quick guard. Like, so we were talking about this, uh, you know, and we'll go to this in a second about what Wemby said about defense. And and you know, but like, you know, when K Love guarded Steph in game seven at the end, he got down into position and he did that. Now, K Love is not gonna do that for a full game. No. But when he had to dig in, he was able to stay in front of Steph. So yeah, you can do it, but like Luca, you know, maybe you can do it one possession out of a game. Luca is very slow, you get a fast guard, they're gonna blow by him. So I get that. Uh he's just not he's not quick laterally, man. It's just the way it is, right? Like nothing you do about that. He's just not, he's never gonna be a good defender because for that reason. He's not gonna be a good on-the-ball defender.

SPEAKER_00 30:57

Well, watch his jump shot. He doesn't even leave the floor, really. Like, well, neither does Joker, but still, like the two most unaathletic guys in the NBA are two of the best players of all time. Right? So, yeah, so this SGA, if you win, fuck off. The whole thing's a fucking joke. Uh talk about Wimby now. I don't know.

SPEAKER_01 31:15

Like, uh yeah, I mean, Jokic's just having another. He's like crazy year. Is he gonna uh he may uh average a triple-double again? He makes it look so easy, but again, you know, Denver's gonna be what, fourth, four, fifth, maybe sixth in the league, maybe third. They might get up to third, but uh they got a harder schedule than uh Lake. But still, like, I mean, you know, it's hard. So Shea is you know number one. Okay, I get that's why he's in the conversation, but San Antonio's too, and what Wemby's doing with San Antonio is ridiculous. And so the other day they were talking about it, and he had come out and said he's the most impactful player on the defensive end. 100% he is. Whole teams have to change their offensive schemes because Wemby's gonna be the primary defensive.

SPEAKER_00 31:55

Not only that, you ready for this? He has more threes than Steph Curry at his age, he has more dunks than Kobe, he has more that like he's past everybody. Well, the dunks no no wonder, right? But yeah, it's ridiculous, right? Like he can lean up, lean for the free throw line and dunk it's like what are you gonna do, right? Yeah, and it's saying his hands are ridiculous, too. Yeah. Every time he talks reminds me of Andre the Giant. Because a man that big, he doesn't act like this. He goes, like sounds like an ogre from a Disney movie, right?

SPEAKER_01 32:23

But Draymond came out and backed that up and said, like, well, Draymond being a defensive guy, yeah. 50% of the game is played on the defensive end, and Wemby has a much more much has much more impact on that end than any other guy. Like Jokic doesn't have a big impact on defense either, right? Like, you know, Luca won't. Shea, uh I'm gonna be honest with you, I don't know if Shay's a great on-the-ball defender either.

SPEAKER_00 32:47

He's okay, but I mean he can move at least. Yeah, but he's he's smaller, right? So yeah. I mean, but you know, you got MJ and Kobe, who were the leading scorers on both the team, and played defense against the hardest player in both teams. That's a real ball. Wanted to play the wanted to shut them down.

SPEAKER_01 33:02

Wanted to shut them down, right?

SPEAKER_00 33:03

So see, that's the thing I don't understand about the MVP.

SPEAKER_01 33:06

So I guess like when you look at, I mean, good, you know, finishing off the MVP race, I mean, maybe it is Wemby.

unknown 33:10

Fuck.

SPEAKER_01 33:10

San Antonio's number two in the league, number two in the West, and they're only a couple games behind. And he's, you know, you take Shay off of you take Shay off of Oklahoma, they're not number one. You take Wemby off of San Antonio, they're not number two, right? I guess you take Yoko, you know, you take Jokic off Denver, they're definitely not three. So I guess the argument is the same no matter what you look at there.

SPEAKER_00 33:29

But right. But like, you know, if the the Spurs are gonna come out of the West. You think? Oh, easy. I I think they're gonna they're gonna beat OKC and make it look bad. I saw if they get to that.

SPEAKER_01 33:43

I saw right now, like we said before, for the Lakers, they don't want Denver or Minnesota.

SPEAKER_00 33:48

No, they're in a good spot right now because they're gonna play the Rockets and they got the Rockets now. Right.

SPEAKER_01 33:52

Yeah, right. And it's not gonna change. They don't count on KD, but yeah.

SPEAKER_00 33:55

Still, yeah, right.

SPEAKER_01 33:57

They've got the Rockets number. That that's an easier pass for them. Oh, yeah. Because then they would get San Antonio in the second round.

Playoff Matchups And Lakers Doubts

SPEAKER_00 34:05

Which they're not gonna beat them anyway. Right, yeah. There's nothing you can do with Wimby. There's not if if uh not Pau Gasol, if uh who's the giant Frenchman? Rudy. Rudy Gobert. Yeah. If Rudy Gobert did to the Lakers, what's Wimby gonna do? I know, right? There was nothing they could do for him. Nothing. He just dominated in there. Hack his knees. What do you like? Come on, man. You know? Wimby's just it's just stupid, it makes no sense. Yeah, there's nothing you can do. All right, so that I'm going with that. But you know, like I told you earlier, who impresses me right now? Charlotte. Yeah, you were saying that. Yeah. Charlotte was a shit team, and now I've been watching their hand in the ass to everybody. Yeah, everybody's getting it. And uh Lamello Okay, I gotta get this one. Lamello. That's him. The tattoos on that guy's bananas, by the way. Yeah, Lamelo Ball is way better still than people give him credit for. He is, he's just an idiot, but he's way better. He is a really good player. He is. Yeah, which is also astounding if we think about how much of a fucking idiot his dad was to have two kids come out. Michael Jordan, anyway. Yeah, just saying, right? So wait a minute. Shouldn't Shaquille O'Neal have a son in the NBA by now? Where's his kid at? Uh he's gonna be dumb.

SPEAKER_01 35:15

I remember where he's kids at. I think his kid's in university. He's got his daughter plays, his daughter plays in university as well.

SPEAKER_00 35:20

Well, apparently she's real good. She is, yeah. Can't wait to see her. Yep. Can't wait to see her. Good old Shaq.

SPEAKER_01 35:26

Yeah, she's doing well as well. So yeah, man.

SPEAKER_00 35:28

Well, you know. Well, you know what? I saw the boot Shaq. He goes, you know, my kids don't like me. And they go, Why don't your kids like you? Shaq. Because the kids always keep saying, and I have to correct them, they go, We're rich. He goes, No, I'm rich. Like, how much of an asshole are you, though? Like, you know, you must be giving your kids something. Like, come on.

SPEAKER_01 35:45

I'm giving them something. I've seen a lot of these celebrity parents, though, that say, like, no, my kids have to go work, make their own.

SPEAKER_00 35:50

You know who the biggest one I I didn't realize? Ramsey? Jackie Chan.

SPEAKER_01 35:53

Oh, Jackie Chan.

SPEAKER_00 35:54

Jackie Chan, fuck you. I came from nothing. You guys can figure it out. Like, ooh, don't you love your kids, Jack?

SPEAKER_01 36:02

They're not gonna let them like live on the street or not.

SPEAKER_00 36:04

No, but I'm just like, you know, good on you to get having responsibility because once you're a rich kid, you don't have any responsibility. What the fuck are you gonna do, right? Yeah, but yeah, but I just Gordon Ramsey's like that too.

SPEAKER_01 36:13

I'm pretty sure Gordon, I thought it was Gordon Ramsey who said the same thing that his kids were gonna have to work and make their own money again. Not they're not gonna let them live on the street, but they're you know, they're not just gonna like say.

SPEAKER_00 36:22

Well, I would like to know, sure, Gordon. So are your kids driving a uh Honda Civic 19? You know, like get the fuck out of here, right? They're probably don't drive Marcy. I'm not gonna my kid shut up, right? So I said this to you. I don't know if this is true, but I'm just making I'm putting it out there because it's funny.

SPEAKER_01 36:37

See all the little white flakes out there floating around now?

SPEAKER_00 36:39

Fuck you, really?

SPEAKER_01 36:40

There's that's not bad, but there's you can see it out there. I don't want that. A little bit of snow floating around out there right now. Yeah. What were you about to say?

SPEAKER_00 36:49

I don't want any more snow. I don't know if it's so cold. Uh okay. I had it here. What was it? Oh, right. So I was just joking about it. I said if the Lakers don't win this year, because we don't know what LeBron's doing. Right? If LeBron if LeBron doesn't win this year, I think he goes to the Warriors. And I think Giannis goes to the Warriors with him. Or if LeBron stays, I think Giannis ends up on the Lakers. I'm not saying it's a good deal. I'm just saying I think they think that might be a good deal, and he'll end up there.

SPEAKER_01 37:19

I just don't see how that. First off, like I said, I don't see how Giannis says, I'll go to the Lakers and and play Jackson Hayes or Deion DeAndre Aiton's role. Like I just don't see the bigger. But look how bad the Bucs are right now. Yeah. Oh, he's going, he's going somewhere. But he's not definitely. Like I don't see him going. Like I said, it's the Warriors then.

SPEAKER_00 37:38

Yeah. Probably Warriors. He wants to go to LA. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 37:41

So who else should play? Steph. Who were so so again, what's the Warriors? What are the Warriors? Who are the Warriors letting walk, or what are they giving up to sign LeBron? So first off, LeBron is not gonna get$50 million next year.

SPEAKER_00 37:54

No matter where he is, he doesn't care about the money now.

SPEAKER_01 37:56

No, right.

SPEAKER_00 37:56

And he shouldn't, because if he does, he's an idiot.

SPEAKER_01 37:59

Yeah. Right. I get it. 75 years ago. I know he's leading the league. He's still doing well, but he's not, yeah. Right. He shouldn't be making$50 million a year anymore. And that's fine, man. Like LeBron, you're still the lead, you're still the face of the league. A lot of pressure still comes with being your teammate and playing on a team with you. You still are killing it out there, but you're not a$50 million anymore. Not anymore. Besides, they got to give that money to Austin Reed so you don't leave. Got to give that money to Austin. I think that they I think they give the money to Austin and Luca. Oh, you have to. They've shown that they can play well together.

SPEAKER_00 38:30

Um I'll tell you what JJ's doing right now. He's trying to figure out what's his best defensive setup. Yeah. Because he's he's throwing people, JJ. I know, right? But at least he's playing Marcus Smart, right? Yeah. So that that's that's intelligent. Yeah. Marcus can shoot the three and he plays the game.

SPEAKER_01 38:44

Yeah, that's right.

SPEAKER_00 38:45

I mean he's a streaky shooter, but he's he is. But that kid, that Kenard kid, fuck that kid can shoot, man. Holy Jesus. Yeah. He's gonna win some games. Well, he's already won games for them, but he's gonna win some more games. So I was watching them. Who did I watch them play? The Lakers were playing a real shit team. Brooklyn. And they were losing. Yeah, it was Brooklyn. They were losing. There was by 14.

SPEAKER_01 39:04

Oh, I didn't know they were losing by that much.

SPEAKER_00 39:06

They were I knew they were I saw it like they finally beat them in the fourth quarter, but they were not doing it. I'm like, you motherfuckers, this is the problem with the Lakers. Because you know, you got the Pistons or you got OKC. They're not losing to a team that got 15 wins. It's not even close. But this is why Barclay always says the Lakers are not contenders, right? No. Because they just they they they play to their competition, right? Yeah, but I'll say this too. I said still to this day, Blooker can beat any team once. You're not gonna beat them in a seven-game series, right? You know what I mean? If Brooklyn can beat a team, or you know, or Wizards can beat a team, or Sacramento can beat a team. You're not gonna beat them in a seven-game series. You might get one game if you're lucky, right? Like the first game I saw that Luca wasn't shooting the lights up was the other day, and the Lakers would not do well. But he can't be on every game. It's impossible. It doesn't work that way.

SPEAKER_01 39:55

That's why I said that's why that's why March Madness is as I prefer watching March Madness than I do watching the NBA playoffs. Because it's like I said, the top four teams in the East, yeah, sure. Boston, Cleveland, Detroit, um Knicks, and the Knicks, like one of them will come out of the East, sure. But then there's not there's no nobody else after that that's coming out of the East. Yeah. Right? The West This whole playing I told you is horseship. Unless there's some injuries, it's either San Antonio or OKC or OKC probably coming out of the West, right?

SPEAKER_00 40:23

That that's now the thing is though, like the Lakers have a team. If they played defense, they can do something, but they're still not playing good enough defense.

SPEAKER_01 40:31

And and and time and time again, the playoffs have proven that experience matters. Defense means too. Well, experience matters. So say this the only thing that San Antonio has going against them because they're young, right?

SPEAKER_00 40:40

They are. Yeah. But the problem I see is they already have OKC's number.

SPEAKER_01 40:45

They do.

SPEAKER_00 40:46

They do. Yeah. I don't know how, but they just, it's like, you know, some teams built to play Miami back in the day.

March Madness Listener Stats And Wrap

SPEAKER_01 40:52

Some teams built to play the Lakers because they knew that's but in a seven-game series, man, make some adjustments, figure some things out. You figure something out. All about the coaching. You hear those stories of like uh, you know, these teams that played against the Bulls or played against, you know, even LeBron, like when these guys come out talking about what it was like in the East, it's like, you know, game after game two, these guys are feeling confident. They're like, God, we, you know beat them either beat them once, split it with them, or we beat them even to two games. And then these guys come in and go, Where are you going on vacation? And they're like, What? It's like they figured us out. And then like that, right? You know what I mean? It's right. So in the seven game series, you can figure things out in the seven-game series, right? Yeah, that's right. Again, college basketball, we're down to the final. Well, after today, are we down to the final four?

SPEAKER_00 41:35

Yeah, yeah. Some of the girls' games are pretty good. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 41:39

Yeah, the women's games are good. It's uh I saw that the bunch of a bunch of bunch of buzzer beaters, which again, that's which is awesome about college basketball, man. Like how many games are coming down to like the last couple of minutes, right?

SPEAKER_00 41:50

Well, then they then they showed the Christian Leitner one. I'm like, who?

SPEAKER_01 41:53
