Thursday on Thursday seven forty five we had no observations and did it happen

in florida hopefully it's rj doing did it happen in florida after race fiasco rj's

world famous stuff he missed around nine fifteen but before we get to all of that

the reason why i find it frustrating is because you pooped the weather if you

weren't such a jerk about the weather i would open up my my i don't know what i

open up your bosom what do you open your weather bosom and what happens when you open up that bosom

i know we bust on each other all the time and and give it up oh what who's each other

apparently he has his own got a side piece for that wait yeah what else do you want a side piece

do i do like a facial i wonder what that sounds like wow my mind just got completely blown

but you know just busted it sounds like it wasn't just your mind and here he is the one and

only we love him Dave Rothenberg wow that was good very well done by you i'm proud that was

it that was a hell of an open walked into the you and ramu which is i i couldn't even talk to

ramen we're focused he was dialed in but i did bring him a a buttery soft roll today it was

the peasants breakfast the peasants breakfast and so in the i've been here of five thirty nine

i walked in which is a good time right i brought ramen a buttery soft roll and i angered rj

all within a twenty one minute stretch how could you possibly get rj upset i wasn't intending to

well what happened well so he comes in and he sits with me and we're going over you know

the game plan and show that's what sounds like the giant some i'd be interested in um in

Fred Warner and he like he lost color in his face and he became ash in and he was like there's

a better chance that i land on the moon then you get Fred Warner i was like why you getting

anger me goes you need new sources i said he goes what would you trade for Fred Warner i said i

don't like cave on tibito and something unless that's something is a stake in the team you're not

getting Fred Warner i got to tell you i i i share rj sentiment here as all the records and then he

and then he got angry because i said you know i'm not not sure i want Fred Warner and i don't

i don't need a guy on the other side is coming off catastrophic injury i think at this point i

took my glasses off who who is making a fortune of money so i don't know that i necessarily want

Fred Warner he was you'd have to liquidate the team to get Fred Warner i didn't but little like i

wasn't trying to inside him little that i realized that he would have such anger so i feel like

i was planned so there's one thing that i would change though and you're retelling which was very

good almost nearly spot on yeah i believe you let off and i think you did this intentionally

because what you just said i think is the truth and what you said to me was more to get me

riled up you said i hear we're knocking on the door my kid Fred Warner is that right and you

immediately caught my attention because i stopped what i was doing and every other quote that followed

yes i don't think i use the phrase knocking on the door maybe not but you you phrased it somehow of

i think they might get some water i was just reading an article to the giants are interested in

trading for any any of the three admins i forget what the second one was and and Warner

what they could they could be interested and i think i think i think what do you show giggly about

because this was this is a little brand and not you situation where you just throw in a name out

there forever i spoke to someone about it yesterday and they said it was brought up to me i didn't

bring it up and then i was reading something about it before i'm sure they would be interested and

i actually think the diners would pick up the phone i think anyone could be available for the

right price but the problem was where you got all those quotes which are spot on do you think that

cave on plus any other one thing and last i've maintained its equity of the team would get that

done is blasphemous blasphemous okay see yeah what was the fifth overall pick no no no can't again

first of all there's no way i'm giving the fifth of cave on the fifth of rock red one zero zero

chance go ahead give it a shot no no no no chance none that thanks for that but but absolutely not

all right so here's the thing you hang on to Fred Warner and when we play Fred Warner

and your Niners and we kick your ass you're going to write after you're way too confident

and it's right now i'm so confident you see the giant they're interested in McDuffie they're

getting involved but they see but they see what happens they they get we're hanging banners because

they finish second in the truck and just know what it shows it shows they're taking it there

pop it it on the table giant's hypothetically traded for McDuffie and and moves are going to happen

you're a Jordan yesterday and i said the Jordan off the air is there a chance it's more than one

big move Jordan oh yeah so you guys sit there and you're a little ivory tower and take your

little little shots at the giant that's fine you can do it now do it now

so let's see what's happening right we all see this

i'm actually worried about you playing his day yeah we all see it what's happening now we all

see it happening okay explain what's happening this i mean this new you it's becoming too much

with it john harbott is creating a monster we are a month in a month i think that i think the new

you is dangerous dangerous to who everyone really everybody what all right giant fans take their

cues from you and what's gonna happen when there's actually like football being played in

you win some games oh craziness it's gonna be madness great craziness

the forget games we're not even through three hc at all they just finished second in the trade

for it's trying McDuffie and you understand what happened here we're celebrating do you understand

what okay it's like you've wandered the desert for years with no beverage at all and you're

parched and you walk up and he's a lake look at all this water no you had the lake is

winning games you you just you just got like the wrong directions to a lake but you heard there

could be a lake and you know you're excited no you just found out that could be a lake miles away

you finished second in the race to the lake right you know let's let's talk about the next

who's that and then you get to the lake and you get to the lake first those other guys we're

gonna play the game where we blame officials today what are we gonna do today um i don't think

we need to blame the officials and they didn't help they didn't help they did not help son i

i saw so much let clearly the NBA wants the thunder to win why would the NBA want

Oklahoma City to win games over New York and the next why why i don't know it's just that's how

people feel i mean that you're not literally watch games and think that they're fixed right so it's

a whatever you want to tell yourself but i mean i will say that when sga has two fouls that's

that's that's a third foul what are we doing right that's but that's why you get to that

it's like well it's it's sga right so we get it he's the you know raining and it doesn't matter

though it's clearly a third foul i know well that's people that's people's point

like how's that not a foul it's clearly a foul clearly a foul right so like that's why people start

drawing conclusions but yeah i'm with you i mean to battle back from down 15 and and put yourself

a position in the end where you have a big big like a nice play from you know nice out of bounds play

she only gets a good look in the left corner and then you get another offensive rebound

and OG has a shot to tie it up but it wasn't enough what are you gonna do which is a shame but again

not gonna go crazy about it i mean that's probably the best team in the NBA and chase phenomenal

and home grid is quietly become a real weapon and a real problem and i saw a lot of last night

well the nicks didn't have Mitchell Robinson uh okay well they didn't have Jamal Williams

so you want to play that game let's uh i think i don't know the more i watch the more i just feel

really convinced that the nicks are a very good basketball team who are in that second tier

of good teams in the NBA yeah i don't know if i want to call it the second

are are are are they are they destroyed and or Oklahoma City

well i mean how many teams are Oklahoma City i know i know Oklahoma City has a tough time against the

spurs i understand that but still Oklahoma City won a championship last year okay so if you're

if you're making tears wouldn't you put Oklahoma City in that first tier yeah right of course

but i mean does Detroit belong in that tier yet after not like you've seen them in one playoff

series uh no problem no they definitely don't deserve deserve to be in that tier yet but i still

think they're in a higher tier than the nicks right but if we want to play this game and i'm with you

i'm not saying i'm just gonna take the other side of this just for the purposes of a conversation

sure like so because Oklahoma City struggles against the spurs does that mean the spurs are better

than Oklahoma City no right i hate that Alex does that thing yeah but so i mean i mean do we want to

do we want to play that game with Detroit and no but i think when it comes to Detroit and the

next Detroit watch it is a better team right right now right but how much of this two is is just

the again because we've we've lived this life where we were Detroit like where we we were the team

that that emphasized the 82 we were the team that would have you know we would be able to get

ourselves off for certain that just for every game but there were you know that's it was in our

DNA that's not who this team is so is that just the case where like Detroit has made the decision

after what i've been here but it's hard to have seen that so far in this regular season and and

see what they didn't in last year's postseason and think that Detroit is not at a different level

than the nicks are and and maybe it's just because the matchup is so bad like i look at that matchup

and it it upsets me like the way they play the way they play defense the way they play physically

it's just i just think it's i the same way i think the nicks are a bad matchup for Cleveland i think

the nicks are are if you're Detroit you love the matchup against the nicks right i think sometimes

because i don't like to play that game all the time either where it's like oh you you take what

you saw in the regular season and you just like you'll just say hey this is you know this team can't

beat this team because of what you saw in the regular season i don't think that's always the case

but i do think there are instances when you watch a team play a certain team during the regular

season and like you just said you watch the matchups and you're like it's not going to matter

it could be regular season it could be posted like this matchup just isn't good for us it's like

when you know the Rangers are playing the Panthers it's a bad matchup with the regular season

it's a bad matchup and the pole it's just a bad matchup right like that team that team can take

advantage of what you don't do well right i mean that's it because we would talk about those

same like we would talk about certain things that we thought going into the playoffs that would hold

the Rangers back right not be able to create enough five on five and it's like okay hey you know

this is the regular season they'll figure out in the playoffs that power play will be going

and then you play a team like the Panthers it for the most part it did to get to the Panthers where

it's like none of that stuff really matters because the Panthers are better they're more physical

they got a great goalie like so like they just have been eight like they've been able to exploit

all those things because they're just right now a better team i don't think we all want to believe

that yet because i don't think i don't think we've seen enough of Detroit in the playoffs yet

well you you haven't seen a ton i i haven't even want to play a series so i think

right so they still have something to prove as opposed to okay see who's already proved it

listen those teams are not on equal footing i understand but i just think they're they're at the way

they play they're both a really rough matchup for the next Oklahoma city for different reasons i

think outside of maybe San Antonio they're a really rough matchup for everyone like that's that's

a that's a brutal team to have to think about going up against when they're healthy right i mean

again you go back to what they did last season what they're capable of doing they're not even

fully healthy yet how good that defense can be how physical that defense can be i mean look at the

mix in the first half i mean it a gentleman one for eight OG two for nine Josh two for eight you

know it drives me into the talent they talented mr. shoddy only took four it's it's that's the coach

on i'm telling you right now i'm going to so carl and then he towns played so well last night he

was great right he was great he took eight shots are you i mean are you kidding me to play that well

to have 17 rebounds to have nine offensive rebounds and to take eight shots is criminal

right i don't get it so again because it doesn't make any semblance of sense

yeah so i'm sure we'll spend most of today on all the shows talking about who do you blame for

because this is not it but this is not one of those losses that it's like you come on the radio

and you're like all upset no whatever it's what i don't think any of it was unexpected but i think

when you lose you do start to get a little bit nitpicky i think that's just natural that's why

winning is so important because when you win you'll overlook a lot of the no some of the mistakes and

some of the things that you would normally talk about when you lose but it's like how in the midst

of your team shooting as poorly as they're shooting especially your best player yeah person was not

good last night right but you saw it is i mean is that because he wasn't good or is that because of

what okay he has the ability to do to him maybe a combination of the both yeah that combination of

both yes right like but isn't in that moment like as a good head coach like okay like clearly

right now we're struggling shooting the basketball our you know our best guy is not is not off to a great

start i got cat let's feature cat more as opposed to getting four shots i think it's a comment i

think it's it's it's it's the coach and i think it's cat i mean when you're going it doesn't

make sense for you because you're a goalie but like when you're going you want to take over don't

you when you when you're you're in that one okay yes you do but i think that i think the way

that this offense is supposed to function is is more ball kind of like pace and flow and less

about you know setting a plate i understand what you're saying like demand the ball but like it's

also on me as the coach if i'm coach not i think it's on both of them and i know hockey's not

baseball excuse me hockey's not basketball but it's like i notice someone's going like guess who's

going out next shift i agree i i think i think it's on the coach i think i think you can actually

blame some of the other players because you got to get him more involved and i think i think i think

this blame that goes on him too when when you have it going on you need to to be the alpha you need

to be aggressive you need to take the ball and to get out of my way i got this it was seven of eight

from the floor he was dominant on the offensive glass and you got eight shots from a superstar or

a really really good player at a minimum it's completely inexcusable right well that's the thing

that frustrates everybody i know you me everybody even Ray said you know as we're talking about before

the show where we're doing the open it's like i mean like there's plenty go around but you'd also see

like a certain point like i think he's well within his right especially i mean this isn't year one

this isn't like i'm trying to get me know i'm trying to get my bearings with the guys where do i

fit i don't want to piss anyone off because i don't want to be demanding the basketball it's like

no no you're in year two the expectations are through the roof your i mean you're one B to

jalen brunson's one A when one A is struggling like that's great okay right i mean do you did

OG shoot well last night no did hard shoot well last night no did british shoot well last night

huh no did brunson shoot well last night no he's five so of all the guys the one of them shot well

from the floor last night and he took eight shots right make it make sense it that makes sense

it doesn't make sense because i mean i just don't i i don't see in you know in other situations where

you have a no a a duo like that where your second best player takes a back seat all the time

than the other guys like it's like i mean like when you watch Denver play right i mean it's

and i know it's it's different because it's joke it's the best player in basketball but it's also like

it's jamal marina it's yoke it's right it's two man game like each of them like we're both going

i mean i mean now yoke is a different level but are there games for the most part that you watch

like i felt underwhelmed by yoke it's tonight well no but it's like in it's hard to make that

example just because yoke is the big you know it's probably easier for jamal it's no not probably it's

easier for jamal maria's the second guy to get going because he's got the ball in his hand all the time

like he can dictate when he wants to get himself going as opposed to cat who's kind of the mercy of

everybody else unless they call place from unless he's the man in the basketball it's it's very

very frustrating when was the last time you felt in control of your business finances expenses

heaven the new standard of indoor pickleball hey I mean why you such a jerk what do you mean

are you you've come you've come and dear this which is fine fine it's not fine it's not I mean

I'm not I'm not trying to do it I didn't do it well you know what you're an accomplice

you're an accomplice you're you're the Bonnie to Clyde is what you are I'm gonna share something with

you now I shouldn't because you know you don't treat me nice okay you treat me like garbage actually

all right I look out for us as a teammate go ahead I'm listening I just sent it to you that's

not the full like it that's not the full visual of I've gotten nothing I just sent it to the chat

I've received something there you go how do you see it you had jerseys made for us okay

see okay on the left side there right under rule 76 that's a gold medal yet is from our last

championship what would you like the gold medal to say Dave Rothenberg lives here no it can't say

Dave Rothenberg lives here why not like I'm a gold medalist I have a gold medal I know but that's

the gold medal you wanted to say career killers what do you want to say on it I would run circles

around turtle it went if and when he joins the show think about it because you are under attack

by turtle again right you anti well you do he it's weird though like like a clear like I feel like

I'm kind of in his head no what did I tell you though because it keeps going back to the same thing

it wasn't if you simply said it's clear to me Detroit is better than the next it's the words you

used that got him got him agitated because the next the next the next aren't in the same class

is Detroit right so last what you tell me are they

say no I don't like the class conversation though okay it says tough loss for the next but the

class take as officially collapse okay and you know what what what what just fine he's upset with

that fine and how about how he loves yeah how he ends this now I'll check back in during the playoffs

but I love where this team is at right now you you love where this team is at right now

love is strong just yeah yeah love is very very strong you love you love the fact that you're

a game ahead of Cleveland and could be sitting in the fourth spot I don't think he meant that part

of it I think he's like the way that they're playing I think like this version of cat okay I mean

I I like this team I think it's a good thing I don't I don't love where this team is at right now

do you am I missing something I understand what he's saying I get it as far as how they're playing

the defense is picked up I mean this version of cat is the version that we'll need I mean

again some of the falls and I couldn't you know I understand why he gets aggravated I don't think I

would I don't think I would complain the way he complains because at some point I would say to

myself this is actually working to like this is not to my benefit anymore or at all this is actually

become a negative now because he does get the crap kicked out of him and they do call him for a

ton of tic-tac follows but like would it the way he was playing last night would it have been nice

to have in the last three minutes of the game last night yes as opposed to following out of course

and he's always he's always going to be the whipping boy when it comes to when things don't go

right or it's a little off for the next because even last night he was awesome you don't have a

negative thing to say about his game outside of the foul trouble except that he didn't shoot the

one more right so again I mean we don't know whose fault that is that could be some of his fault

could be some of Jalen's fault and by the way I'm gonna be honest with you right now Jerry Farrah

who I really like come on the show if you want to just continue to go at me stop stop attacking me

in the Twitter sphere come on the show and and let's go back and forth like man I'd love that

I'd like to hear that back and forth I mean I'm the here's the thing I'm not even responding

tie falls for it because Ty can help himself Ty loves the engagement Ty loves the engagement

Ty goes back every time after the first time this I think this is not the third or fourth time he's

come after me the only time I went back and forth with him was the first time I'm not doing it anymore

no that's fine listen I mean someone's gonna be right someone's gonna be wrong I and you know

what the weird thing is I want to be wrong I hope to be wrong I want to be in the NBA finals you

want to be in the NBA of course right but you are a but I'm honest you are a truth teller

some people said you were a casual but that's fine I mean that's the first time we've heard that

you know what you had to throw that in there huh what no I see how you are I'm just

what do you want me to do now I'm gonna be a liar you want to be in the day who says I'm a casual

name names name names uh John Acevito Acevito who the hell is John Acevito I don't know he's got a blue

check I don't know oh it's somebody on a Twitter toffee huh oh yeah it's on the it's on the

it's on the the chain because then tie response and then Jerry responds to tie and then you know

right and the tie tie gets down in dirty in the hole yeah we know how it works yeah we've we've

we've danced the stance before it's fine by the way you see what I've done what have you done

how many phone lines are open ha zero yeah that's right are you I mean listen did you need it at

six twenty nine do you need your ego stroke it oh you are a gold mine um you're the best you really

are thank you you're welcome thank you let's go to Atlanta and let's bring in Jay and let's say

good morning hi Jay how are you welcome to DNR I'm a right see I don't think I'm a pessimist I think

I'm a realist and I think that the real nature of my analysis and forward thinking you look at

as pessimism but I don't think I'm pessimistic I think you're probably borderline just like the

next up probably closer to be in a tier one team I think you're a tweeter like the next one but

I still love you to bet I love listening um I think I think there's an emotional component

a component that plays out in a regular season that I don't think we look at amongst these teams

if when we play home grant every single game we follow the FMEB every of those guys go at it they

just dislike each other and he just so much he he brings it every time he plays okay see because

of over I think Cleveland has to get over a mental um last one it comes to playing in this and

having a lot of not having success against them which is why I'm really worried about Detroit

because James Harvard brings a component first of all as a player but he also hasn't lived through

some of those challenges that Cleveland has had and Detroit just has a bonafick with us much like

when he has a bonafick well I think a lot of those things go away in the playoffs because

reality is when you got to play a team seven games and I think the next still do have an advantage

against Detroit I really do you think Jay you believe the next have an advantage over Detroit in the

poses well no once look listen what I said I'm talking about the mental component of beating them

last year I think it has spurned and it has made Detroit a much tougher team when they face them

but again I think in a seven game series I would still give a slight edge to the mix because of that

now that does not mean that it'll be an easy series I think it'll go seven and I won't be

surprised if we do lose but I think the mental aspect of some of the back stories and what these guys

have to do with the know they get over a mental home I think that's a component that I think is

pretty legitimate when we will go at home when every single game which is why you see what you see

when they play the spurs there's just a lot of things that aren't just actions that know when they

have to go to the world okay here's the thing though and I understand what you're saying and I get

it and it feels like it feels like tips we were kind of one of one of those teams where like we

could take advantage of teams because we I mean we went into every game regular season or not

with a sense of urgency and and you know grit and toughness that you know other teams weren't

necessarily willing to match during the regular season because again those teams were more

concerned about getting to the postseason I don't know if I would use Wembee going after

Chet as the reason why all of a sudden now when you get into a series with Detroit and in the mix

that the next you'll have this mental edge because they won last season yeah I don't listen

there are certain matchups that are just not good right and home grin against Wembee is not good

for okay see and right now I think the nicks against the Detroit is just it's not a good matchup

for the next right I just I mean it just like the level of toughness that Detroit plays with

is it's just more they're just a tougher team than the nicks are just personnel wise they're

just a tougher team right right like so you can try to play tough but again you know that Detroit's

also going to ramp it up in the postseason so I mean can you get yourself to that level hopefully

for us I would say if you're going to point the one thing with Detroit that that we're all

hoping is going to be a problem in the in the postseason when you match up in a series and it's

not just one single game is who's the who's the second scoring option for them like who steps

up for them if we find like I mean Cade's going to get his because he's that good but who's the other

guy it remains unknown so they still have stuff to prove I'm with you and that's why I said

because then there's this whole conversation being had about when you want to see Detroit is it

okay I mean which would be okay finishing fourth because now you see Detroit in the second round

and maybe the inexperience shows up I actually think that you're going to see more like I think

the inexperience and the nerves show up more in the in the eastern conference finals than they

would in the second round okay well I'll tell you what they scare me the most of any team so I would

prefer whether it's an experienced thing or not or or the nerves are not I prefer to push them

as far down the road as humanly possible and whoever they play in round one in round two hopefully

it's not the next I'll be rooting for desperately I don't think anyone would be upset if someone else

no let someone else knock them off yeah I mean I wouldn't be I wouldn't be crying about it no you know

you know what does not make me weep as well what does not make you weep as well doesn't make me weep

bird podcast looking for more access to the show why because you know why follow us on twitter

instagram and facebook at dr on espn i don't think i did anything i think i was you know

it was a friend he came in where we're having a conversation i thought nice conversation

and i didn't realize that would be the breaking point for one rjs antelope okay but here's

the thing with you yeah it's not it's not what you say sometimes it's how you say it

like your tweet perfect example like you use the word class it got people wild okay you go through

the whole it's not my full people are a little sensitive okay but then you go through the whole

thing with rj and i think what really set them off is i wouldn't want them anyway no i don't think

that's what set them off at all i think that's what set them off no no i don't know he was already

set off no rj that was what that was like the what what's the opposite of the piece

their resistance that that's what you put on the that right on top of he's great why why would i

and for you and make it make sense but for me why would i want a 29 year old coming off a

major injury you should want him to make who makes who makes a

bought load of money and you think i'm going to trade you the fifth pick there's no chance

i'm not saying you should trade the fifth pick but your rebuttal to that was

oh if i just get sunny styles who if everything goes right would turn into Fred Warner right at at

a minuscule amount of the salary and at a minuscule amount of the h and it unguaranteed results

yes you you don't know how it's got you you keep him i'm fine with that i will you keep him and then

when we play you will beat you and we'll dance on you just a rubber who's who's this is a one-sided

street that's fine we've held a bolt it's very easy for me to do this in march okay what happens in

October november i don't i don't know so we were talking to Jordan yesterday he jordan hung around

for a while yesterday and then he left and then he came back with with treats he went over to

the building he offered to come back with even more treats what kind of treats did he bring

he offered croissants bagels muffins yeah muffins you name it but in talking to him after he

brought up a point i think he brought it up to you as you were boy rick you should have seen it

what did i do no nothing but during commercial breaks i'd go in there he is shaking him down

there's not one wasted second no of time of jordan being here on on the air off the air well you

know like the good coaches for practice it's like okay two forty one we do this two forty five we

hit this sixty seconds left two fifty we hit that that's what it's like with jordan i want to

pick every ounce of information i can get off of him during the time he's here but he brought up

the point and i'm curious what you think about john harbaugh having all this power for the first

time like he had a lot of same Baltimore but he was surrounded by a good nucleus and jordan said

you know we're gonna find out a lot about john because he has a lot of swing now does that concern

you in any way he's kind of doing stuff for the first time in terms of like final stamp of

approval there's really not a lot of people he has to pass stuff by me yeah oh you're the

giants fan aren't you like why are you concerned i thought you're talking i thought you're talking

no i don't think i'm gonna go my coach staying awake i mean you have other issues it does not

concern me i'm fully bought in and then i've read an article a couple a couple of weeks ago that

that's like he was banging the drum for pukin a koa and they wouldn't you know draft him no i

have no concerns about harbaugh maybe that'll change but right now no concerns by the way

Fred Warner and pukin a koa commercials together yeah maybe bring him both then i don't know but i mean

i only say because pukes are busy off season with the uh pukes has a lot to say with the latest

yeah he's got a lot to say but he even me like i i love Kyle shanhan i don't always want Kyle picking

all the players sometimes i think his his voice he has a lot he gets a lot of say rightfully so

sometimes i think adventures into too much i wonder if you i have the choice of of john harbaugh or

joshan al-halette harbaugh a run point on stuff fair point thanks for that um

in ocean gate good morning joe how are you good morning guys sixty five or sooner day right

that's right that's right i'm i'm going to get some stickers made up i think some book some

actual but i'm going to send you a bumper sticker you know what you you send me that bumper sticker

i will place it on my car sounds great can i just give a quick little uh psa type thing

i spent four and over four hours at dmv yesterday because my wife got a ticket sometime

last couple years and they misspelled her last name by a letter or two and it threw a whole

wrench in the system and when i went to renew her license it like kicked her out and then she had

to go in and we had to spend all those hours there so for future anyone gets pulled over

get the ticket so joe you're probably like doesn't this feel like to me you know what this feels like

this feels like a morning roast yeah roast i know and tomorrow we do the roast at seven forty five

so like i said the other day right do you know what you joe is like a comedian yeah we're before

he gets to the main act he does a warm up and his warm up is always like so i'm at the dmv

i think it's like okay now that that's done now let me get to the point yeah so so joe maybe we could

just get to the next this morning all right sorry guys yeah i'm trying to crush you you said so sad

no i just i'm trying to help out a little listeners because god forbid you know someone

will get the ticket today you know and their names misspelled they could they could get it rectified

before they have a major issue uh if you have to pay the ticket if they sell your name wrong

yes sorry though yeah i don't right right but it did their mistake leads to now all of a sudden you

can kick out of the system and you got to spend the entire day in the dmv should you just like you

know what drive safer maybe you should be a little more apparent of the rules of the road joe

i will do that okay um so my my next the stuff of the first half um once it just looked off i

mean obviously only scoring with two points or whatever he just he just did to like the the past

is i hit him a tire or i thought maybe he was sick or i didn't know but obviously they play

way better in a second half but i i can't take the the the inconsistencies of foul calling where

i think sometimes someone gets totally fouled and they don't call a thing and then other times or

when they it's like the shot that's like they direct weights for like the shot to be missed or

the ball gets turned over and then they call the foul or whatever and i just i get so frustrated

with that i just hope that i mean i don't know if there's a way of fixing that but it's like

i it just frustrates me and it it turns me off to the game right but then it frustrates you last

you when that same stuff was happening well the year before that yeah so i mean it is it going to

get fixed probably not i mean this is this is the mba right does it frustrate you when you know

sg8 goes up for a shot and kicks his right leg out and they call OG for a foul yeah frustrates the hell

he get he gets a good whistle huh i mean it's he's a he's a great player you see this that he

has had a hundred and twenty four consecutive games of twenty points or more i didn't surprise me

that's insane that doesn't surprise me he's a great player he's his outfit choice for last night

not my favorite what was he wearing i don't even know what that was i mean you could just barely

see his head popping out of it great great what what was that he looks like a like a certain movie

character yes yeah it was it was an interesting look uh here's mic brown nix head coach on trying

to defend sga sga is he's he's a tough cover he does a great job of convincing the referees probably

better anybody in the league that you know he's getting hit so he says it's on the cheek there's

meaning there and that was as upset as i've ever seen mic brown get last night this is first

of the season yeah of course you'd be pissed i mean it's the best player on their team he's got two

followers and it's clearly an offensive foul right i mean what are we doing

listen i i do everything in my power to avoid crushing the officials but they were they were brutal

last night they were awful one bad i was terrible it really was terrible devon and mohigan lake

devon good morning your any sp in new york hey good morning guys um yeah i just kind of want to

reiterate that you know i agree i think everyone's culpable when your best player doesn't get

enough shots or take enough shots and secondly like that's not how the nix want to play right like

they're at their best and most teams are at their best when they're two best guys are being

aggressive but now because cats not taking shots maybe brunson and the rest of the guys feel like

oh i got to start making shots because he's not but also i pose the question how do we all see

this on like our couches at home but the people who are supposed to recognize this aren't um

thanks guys have a great that it's really a sensational question right it's it really is how

in the world is it so obvious and yet carl and tenetowns mic brown the other players he just

is not overly involved in the game i think that the more i watch it and the more the more you kind

of hear some of the talk and not not so much now but just early on in the season about you know

it the new coach and the new system and everything else is that maybe part of this is mic brown has

a system and this is a system that mic brown wants to run as opposed to hey i got these certain

players you know maybe i have to you know maybe i have to modify my system a little bit and i also

think that there's probably personality wise like guys in that locker room that want

that want to get fed well i mean i mean i need to feed my my

offense player before i have to feed other guys right but i mean you are out there he'll shoot

guys shoot anything right but he's always i mean he's always the one that says like hey i

got to steal if i have to sacrifice for the offense so like i know we don't like to hear that

because that's not what we want but there's a play that are two ones it feels like he's two

and selfish i'm with you but maybe that's because it maybe because again like it's we're all

watching the same thing and you're not an NBA basketball coach i'm not an NBA basketball coach

but you watch it you're like what's happening right now like the first half was a great example

of that like no one shooting well but cat like let's okay this is now cats time because cats don't

let's have success and then we'll get going in the second half but it's like and you just other

guys that aren't shooting well just hoisting up shots and i don't know if that's just because we

got to keep everybody like we want to you know make sure that you know oh gee gets his and

bridges gets his because if they don't then you know what does that mean on the other side of the ball

like there's a lot of personalities in that locker but i don't know because it seems pretty obvious

when you watch it like come on like cat let's go let's go get him the ball here here is cat

on where this team is currently at right now i think we're going to go spot especially you got

20 more games left so for us to compete the way we did and and be in the game the way we were

i think it speaks to us you know continuing i mean we're still working progress i

anyone can tell you that we all will tell you that but we're getting closer to that time where we

need to be the best version of ourselves and i see us getting better and that's the most important

thing right now uh they are getting better but i think there's i love that why not

i like i like some of it like and we're getting better we're still working progress i understand

like which which i think is true which is true but like i like the way we compete like

what do you like the way you compete i know it's okay see and i know they want a championship

but still they're on your floor right i mean it's we're just we're going to be happy just the way

we compete it well i mean i guess in theory you give them everything they could handle right

well but you're still down 15 and the third i mean they have bad fortune but you're put your

butt back which i guess is right part of the compared nature no but is that what we're doing

there's not going to be any like oh you know a participation trophy nicks made it to here and

this was really great no if and when the nicks lose before the NBA finals and i think even in the

NBA finals people can be very upset right but even the tone like like even the tone of how we

answer the question like was like almost like a little too optimistic for you no like happy for

me well that that's what i mean optimistic for you like i followed out with three minutes left to go

the referees sucked we had two chances at the end to tie it up like i'm not happy

like it's like oh hey we're working like no i don't know i mean it's just me i wouldn't answer

the question like that all right well he's he's he's not everyone it was almost like they were

resigned to the fact that hey we're going to lose this game anyway but we competed hard

uh i don't think they thought they were going to lose they had to lead late in the game

listen to the tone of how we answers the question let me listen to this again uh where

where the team is at cat i think we're in a good spot i think we're going to good spot especially

you got 20 more games left so for us to uh compete the way we did and and be in the game the way

we were i think it speaks to us you know continuing i mean we're still working progress i

didn't anyone can tell you that we all will tell you that but we're getting closer to that time

when we need to be the best version of ourselves and i see us getting better and that's the

most important thing right now yeah i think you have a more of a problem with it than i do

to be in the game the way we were what do you mean to be in the game i mean you felt like 15 and

you fought your way all the way back right but what did you expect going in like going in short

but i think you're surprised you're expecting to when they were down 15 do you think the next

we're going to take the lead at any point no but still like but i think that mean would you answer

the question like would you like you know no happy again let's talk about this adnozium he's a

different guy part of the dance is not the guy that you are and he's not he's never going to

be the guy that we wish he would be he's a different kind of a guy right with that i don't know

i don't like i didn't like it okay you don't have to and i understand your point like i don't know

i just like i mean i think the day afterwards i could be like i could probably answer a question

like that like after getting a chance to kind of like hey let them let the let the emotion

subscribe a little bit go over the film hey good job fellas we battle back didn't shoot one

of the first half you know good on us but like no like to compete the way we compete of court

well what was the expectation well of course it's the expectation like to be in it well of course

you're going to be in it well it's a game we're trying to win right i mean you're on your own

floor you're sure this is a good test against a good team happy that we competed uh ESPN

ERC is taking over Kalandras you your Kalandras are Kalandras i've heard it both ways yeah i'm

gonna go Kalandras it's an Italian village in Caldwell new jersey on with and i'm listening to

DHR yesterday and they don't understand how because it's in new jersey dawn doesn't live within

five minutes of this place pop of the show oh really top of the show they must have spent 15

minutes like what do you what do you mean how could it possibly how big do they think new jersey is

very tight don i believes use the quote i don't live in a postage stamp like it's it's a real state

so peter which can can so confuse because dawn said peter peter looked at at wazer or map

question whatever and said it takes an hour to get from here from the studios to Kalandras how

could it also take dawn an hour to get to Kalandras from where he is it shouldn't take an hour

and then he's peter's assumption was if it takes dawn an hour to get to Kalandras and it takes peter

from here an hour to get to Kalandras now it takes dawn two hours to get into the studio

it's the it's once oh my god it's one straight line because as if as if every day dawn on his way

and it's like all right let me stop at Kalandras and then make my way in oh he naturally would pass

on yeah you have apparently because it's in new jersey dawn is obligated to pass Kalandras
