2:27

God. That was

2:29

something last night. And

2:32

I am talking about Minnesota's defense against Denver.

2:35

Denver Wolves up 2-0, taking the first

2:37

two road games in Denver. Altitude,

2:40

altitude. Not

2:42

a factor. I think the

2:44

first 24 minutes of that game,

2:46

too, considering

2:49

everything that it's at Denver, that it's against Jokic,

2:51

that it's against this Denver team offensively. You know,

2:53

we can give it some of their numbers here,

2:55

but there's a standard that we expect with them.

2:59

I think it's the best 24 minutes that I've seen on

3:02

defense in a playoff game in a really long time. I'm not

3:04

gonna say ever, because clearly there's probably another 24 minutes that

3:07

I've forgotten about. But it

3:09

was special. It's so special I'm gonna watch it again. I

3:11

just want to watch it again. Because

3:14

it was a mentality, it was the physicality, it

3:16

was just, we're gonna take this from you. I

3:19

never really feel this way about NBA games when

3:21

the other teams up double digits, just because, I

3:23

mean, how many times do we have to watch

3:25

all these games? Like, oh man, they were up 16, and

3:28

now it's tied and my team blew the lead.

3:30

It's like, dude, it's just what happens. At

3:33

3320 in the second quarter, I was like, I think

3:35

this game's over. It

3:37

was the double team on Murray, where he got the

3:39

ball, was barely able to

3:41

bring it up over half court, and then got trapped by

3:44

McDaniel and Alexander

3:47

Walker. John

3:50

Krasinski, who runs for the Athletic, has covered the

3:52

Timberwolves for years, was a guest on the show.

3:54

When They double teamed him, he said it looked

3:57

like footage from National Geographic. And.

4:01

At. That. Moment I was like

4:03

a are they breaking them is

4:05

this defense so. Insane.

4:07

Lead: Spectacular. That.

4:09

They're breaking. The.

4:11

Nuggets. I. Have a

4:13

joke. Last night we did our was extremely sexy

4:15

good. Second,

4:19

Quarter continue to get worse. Denver finish

4:21

six or twenty four. In

4:23

the second. Murray. Finish

4:25

the game Three eighteen, Is.

4:28

Is shooting split so far in the playoffs? Or

4:30

thirty percent? Twenty nine percent? It

4:33

might be the caf. But.

4:36

I don't know if it was the Caf last night. Is

4:39

get a two game winner see your how overlooking

4:41

that this is shooting split guy who. Ah,

4:44

Last year. Was.

4:47

Was. Incredible Trump Last Yolk.

4:49

It's invisible. For. The most

4:52

part. Ah which is.

4:54

Rare. Fifty. Nine

4:56

percent against the Lakers. Yucky just with

4:58

against the Timberwolves again just to games.

5:00

But forty two percent And twenty percent.

5:03

Sixty one, thirty five at the half.

5:06

It's. The largest lead in the playoffs

5:08

for a road team. Against

5:11

the defending champs since Nineteen Ninety

5:14

Two. I. Was

5:16

watching Denver's players just continue to be frustrated

5:18

and look it doesn't matter, you just going

5:20

to get frustrated. things are going your way.

5:22

We all get frustrated, not excusing it. I

5:24

got sick of him complaining every time looking

5:26

for calls because I don't know that the

5:29

physicality was. agree, just. That. Would. Say.

5:31

I was a missed call as soon as color les

5:33

mis they want to find his cause you gotta find

5:35

him and in look at things in slow motion say

5:38

there was contact their. But. I.

5:41

Don't. Think it was that. I.

5:43

Really think it was because the Timber was for

5:45

that special on defense. If you were to call

5:47

a timeout for Denver and year the coaches try

5:49

to turn these guys around. Get their spirits up.

5:52

You. Wonder if you say hey if you don't have

5:54

the ball you're gonna be fine So for you should

5:56

be terrific. Because.

6:00

When. You're watching. The. Wolf

6:03

swarm. I. Don't like

6:05

comparing anything the that Ravens defense for over

6:07

twenty years ago. I like, ever

6:09

compare. That's how I am. I

6:13

wouldn't say tribalism like I was a Ravens fan

6:15

or ever have been, but. I am

6:17

defensive of. The. Status of with

6:19

that team was I gonna want anything to

6:21

ever be compared. To. Them because

6:23

the best thing you could have said. when you

6:25

watch them every week you are like. And.

6:28

Again I was watching every Ravens game. Every time your

6:30

that we put your that run towards the of the

6:32

year your like it feels like they have thirteen guys

6:34

on defense. This is insane. And.

6:38

When. Reggie Miller was like a little bit of

6:40

seven guys. That's.

6:42

What it felt like because when you caught the

6:44

ball, the were someone else there. When.

6:47

You got it on the handoff in turn to cut,

6:49

there was someone else there. When.

6:52

You got to screen up top or up to the

6:54

side. You're like okay I'm would have a clear angle

6:56

for a quick pull up here. if I go right

6:58

to the screen and pull up. The. Defender

7:00

can't recover that quickly. Know. Someone.

7:03

Would be there. When. You won't have

7:05

to reach for a rebound. It was never clean.

7:07

There was always someone there. When.

7:09

You went to bring it up over half court. You.

7:12

Add an escort and then there was also

7:14

a valet waiting for you if you even

7:16

made pass halfcourt cleanly. And. When

7:18

you stopped with the ball you are dead. Now.

7:22

Denver's Ah fence. Small.

7:24

Sample. We're all aware. But.

7:26

We're their numbers against the Lakers

7:28

that tell us this Denver office

7:30

is not actually. What? We

7:32

expected to be. Going.

7:35

In to last night games across

7:37

the board, Denver was eighth and

7:40

offense eighth in defense seventh and

7:42

rebounding rate tenth in true shooting

7:44

percentage. Not.

7:47

Great! out of sixteen teams

7:49

but. It was only the five

7:51

games the first round plus first game against Minnesota.

7:53

The numbers even worse now. How.

7:56

Don't know if I'm quite there yet. Ah,

7:58

I'm not ready for the. Okay, sucks takes

8:00

which I thought may take a little bit

8:03

longer but know they were fresh this morning.

8:06

Know. Rudy? go there last night. Does that

8:08

mean guys like me historically who were on

8:10

the other side of the argument saying by

8:12

just. Don't. Get through to go bare

8:14

trade and yet here they are. And

8:16

I'm not playing last night. Does that mean I get

8:19

now? I can't do that. He just missed a game.

8:21

but now. I'm. Not going to do

8:23

that. Ah, let's see what game three looks like

8:25

by you. Would have thought game one would be

8:27

the wake up call for the Nuggets. Going into

8:29

game to and games to was even worse. I

8:31

don't know what's going on with is deborah first

8:33

quarters, but. The. Wake up

8:36

call may have happened in game two. In

8:39

it may. Be too late. I

8:42

picked Minnesota. It was.

8:45

A bit of a coin toss I didn't wanna

8:47

take against Denver housing. I think I can. I

8:50

have to. I think this this thing is real

8:52

even though it's young and this isn't what supposed

8:54

to happen. But.

8:56

Last, I made me think I might up against

8:58

Minnesota again. Like.

9:00

I mean in the playoffs? Let's. Go

9:03

to New York. Game on will get to the refs.

9:05

Story. Bronson. One

9:07

of one against them heart. Not.

9:09

Going to work. I. Know the pacers

9:11

mixed up a few things. they had foul trouble with

9:13

them hard, the had foul trouble with nice smith and

9:15

the teach him a comma. Got out there and just.

9:18

Put. On a show. And.

9:20

Work And Work And Works you can

9:23

say. They tried a bunch

9:25

of different things by the business. To me time sprouts

9:27

and must be gone. Hey know who bray know but

9:29

tomb know. Like all. This life

9:31

has gone like you guys are going to keep

9:33

me I slid. I just felt they were actually

9:35

a lot, despite multiple defenders assigned to him, a

9:37

lot of moments where it was. Nem

9:40

Heart. And. Just nem are. Now.

9:44

You can watch as a it is going to

9:46

work against Bronson. Nothing seems like it's gonna work

9:48

against Brunson. He's the first player in and be

9:50

a history with forty plus points and five a

9:53

system for straight playoff games. Nothing's working against Scott.

9:55

The only thing that worth the very beginning that

9:57

Philly series. And maybe think like small guards heavy

9:59

you. The Age. Y off intensity,

10:01

length, strategy, multiple games and slow down.

10:03

the shooting numbers were very good. It

10:05

gets who are it hasn't mattered. It

10:08

hasn't mattered. Forty four minutes last night,

10:10

a usage rate of thirty five, true

10:12

shooting percentage of sixty seven, which both

10:14

would have been. Second,

10:16

In the and be A in the season the

10:19

usage only behind lucas number for this is I

10:21

normally talk about one game but then when you

10:23

combine that with is true shooting number that would

10:25

be only behind Daniel Dapper from the regular season.

10:27

Which. You shooting is usually literally just

10:29

a bunch of big guys don't stress

10:32

Florida and yet you're combining those two

10:34

things together in a playoff game for

10:36

somebody brunson size. This.

10:39

Is. Fucking Nuts. He's.

10:42

Playing forty four minutes a game in

10:44

the playoffs, he's taken twenty nine shot

10:46

attempts in the playoffs in the seven

10:48

games. I. Looked it up modern

10:50

and be a. Who. Was taken

10:53

more shots per game than what Bronson is

10:55

doing now. Threat of playoff. Run.

10:58

Well. Mj thirty one point seven

11:00

attempts for game. And.

11:02

Eighty Six swept in the first round, Mcgrady

11:04

in two thousand and one to just under

11:06

thirty one shots from for Dame. They lost

11:09

in the first round. Westbrook was thirty point.

11:11

Four shots for Dame in two thousand and

11:13

seventeen. I was shocked was that low. They.

11:16

Lost in the first round. Iverson.

11:20

The only one that's ever had success with this

11:22

approach in the modern and be a to thirty

11:24

shots a game. For. The Two Thousand

11:26

and One Sixers and made the finals. Although.

11:28

I just don't think that team was

11:30

that good. And I think East sought.

11:34

And then you have Ronson doing it. So. He's

11:36

the fifth the guy on this list. going

11:38

back like. Forty. Plus years.

11:42

So. I guess just one

11:44

guy's gonna do this. If

11:47

it's gonna work. He had twenty

11:49

one points for the fourth quarter. Now.

11:52

The Pacers did double. I'm. One.

11:56

Fifteen a piece. Forty seconds to go.

11:58

They brought Diva gentle, It over

12:00

to him and brunson. Adam pass

12:02

the Vincenzo. It's.

12:05

The shop. So. We're.

12:07

Like All right, Well. We

12:09

double, we double them or zillow. And.

12:11

Then that happen. But. Here's my

12:14

favorite thing about Bronson. I. Don't

12:16

like ball stoppers. not saying you would

12:18

want one hundred team if he's really

12:20

talented guy making multiple all search the

12:22

I just don't understand people that don't

12:24

move in the game of basketball and

12:26

brunson. Is. Tasked

12:29

with all of this scoring. And

12:31

yet he still. Continues

12:34

to move. Speaking.

12:36

Of Movement. I. Liked the

12:38

way the Pacers played look. Look. How they

12:40

play at how they look last night. It

12:43

must be weird for the next

12:45

to go wait. These guys move

12:47

the ball as opposed to Philadelphia's

12:49

approach of to dynamic isolation scores.

12:51

But you gotta know. Where.

12:53

The ball is at all times any kind of know

12:55

at all right? Well this is with the going to

12:58

do here in this will be the same. It in

13:00

Maxi is either too fast or too powerful to slow

13:02

down so it's not like they just it was easier

13:04

for them to fan. But I imagine there's a bit

13:06

of a applicable reason that the sixers for the next

13:08

three like oh wait, like. These

13:10

guys swing the ball a lot more. The.

13:13

Pacers defense which I don't like, And.

13:16

There were three heart lay ups in particular that

13:18

I saw. unless it's games like wheat, what happened

13:20

there? Like he was just wide open. He went

13:22

coast to coast on that once. Was. Going

13:25

to a couple laps or somebody just open against

13:27

the pacers, It's always going to be concerned for

13:29

me. But. The second unit.

13:32

Beyond. The scoring where they outscored the next

13:34

forty six to three and best points. Either

13:36

the second unit brought a lot of effort

13:38

and a lot of energy. Where.

13:42

You think this Knicks team would be easier

13:44

to fan when it's a guy who might

13:46

not be six feet a point guard running

13:49

every single possession? It clearly isn't. But.

13:51

There were some effort stuff from that group.

13:53

Collectively, the jackson minutes off the bench. rather

13:55

wait. This is this could be Could this

13:57

be the part of the series? In

14:00

I wouldn't say it's not the thing that we were talking

14:02

about. Had some because the Knicks are playing anyone. They.

14:04

Played three bench players last night. really the

14:07

only played too because he got four minutes

14:09

my guy precious. So twenty seven total bench

14:11

minutes. To pierce it again with the forty six

14:13

points. Dig up for the better. The Pacers are going to play

14:15

some guys mood for like I like. The Pacers.

14:17

Roster I like now. three coming back next year ago.

14:20

Some things I like about this right now. Now.

14:24

When. I look at the next minute

14:26

allotment here. three that top seven guys

14:28

in the playoffs right now for next.

14:31

It's. Just Hard who just continues to get

14:33

off and support up are often support.

14:35

It's Bronson and then it's Oh gee

14:37

So I may worry about what Josh

14:39

Hard is gonna look like in two

14:41

years. Because. I'm sure there's some

14:43

bulls fans They get about tubes of what joke

14:46

him know look like. Ouster. The

14:48

good stuff. And that

14:50

might have been a know a thing and not a

14:52

tips thing. But. They're going for a

14:54

maybe. Tips: say hey what he wanted to do on

14:57

the plane More guys. Are flight brunson

14:59

less? Like. We're playing right now.

15:01

The Twenty Twenty Four Players and that's the

15:03

goal. And. That's what we're working

15:05

towards and you know we can worry about

15:07

this stuff little bit later. That's maybe why

15:09

that anonymous player poll always votes Tibbs is

15:11

the coach they'd least want to play for.

15:14

What it that he may be looking to

15:16

go and hey, we have days off. These.

15:18

Guys are younger. It's. Not that big

15:20

of a deal now denied may not want to see

15:22

what heart looks like a a couple years and that

15:24

are can also all be bullshit. Maybe heart will look

15:26

great and two years. And. The minutes freak

15:28

out that we went through for years, which I

15:30

think we've kind of pivoted away from here. Mean.

15:33

I mean it. I don't have an answer for you for that

15:35

one. By the. Bench advantage is

15:38

going to be the pacers because they

15:40

play dice. From. The bench. But.

15:43

Get to the foul. And finish this up.

15:47

One. Eighteen, one seventeen, the next look like

15:50

they turn it over on the first in

15:52

bounce it was off. The defenders lived for

15:54

the pacers. So. It's challenges

15:56

overturn and then the next. Katie The

15:58

Bolland again Bronson. The throw up for

16:01

Halliburton and then actually hits brunson back.

16:03

So now the Pacers have a ball

16:05

at a spot to take the lead

16:07

and win this game and still on

16:09

Game one. So teargas a screen for

16:11

Halliburton. Oliver. It's it's

16:13

own separate conversation now. The.

16:16

Numbers of and bad up the also pretty corolla

16:18

stuff. we talked all and be a your strike

16:21

and seok i'm a little bit more are probably

16:23

do a halliburton tracking thing it's gonna look in

16:25

it's second was fine. And. He's is

16:27

going to have. Moments. Where it's like wait, is

16:29

he in the game? Is he not have you know but with

16:31

him. He's. He's.

16:33

Was really good against. Oh gee, I thought

16:35

some of the one on one seventy get

16:37

deep into the open second as work early.

16:39

He's a really tough guy to defend Albert

16:41

and was bad. Halliburton did not have big

16:43

impactful moments forced into this game. I don't

16:45

know, it's a lingering injury thing, the multiple

16:48

theories out there, I don't know, but the

16:50

problem? For Pacers fans, we know what happens

16:52

next. Service. At screen and

16:54

even Shenzhou. Even. Sense of

16:56

flops. Seiler. For is my

16:58

favorite officials in the and be a cause the foul.

17:01

Paper. View It! Zach Czar becomes

17:03

back in his like look turret didn't

17:05

give. The. Opposing player a chance to

17:07

get set against screen so if you want

17:09

to go letter of the law the term

17:12

was moving a little bit. Okay fine but

17:14

like what is this. Iowa.

17:16

U conn women's hoops here. Because.

17:19

Stan said it best. He said

17:21

quote. That. Was shocking as soon

17:23

as the foul on the screen was caught.

17:25

He said never. And. That's the truth.

17:28

You. Could call kind of. Movie screens are all

17:30

the stuff but in that moment that call

17:32

is not me. I was shocked it was

17:34

made but didn't want it. Went to the

17:36

review. you knew how, the explanations, the playoffs.

17:38

I don't know what the last human or

17:40

force going to say. I don't tear, I

17:42

don't I've never going to last two minute

17:44

report them like awesome. Can't wait to diggin.

17:47

Let. Me: Do this before I eat. I.

17:49

Don't care about those and honestly I think it's silly

17:51

to did they do it but the and Be A

17:53

does it for transparency in them. And they do it's

17:55

a really gets mad they do with the A. Be

17:57

A can't really win on this one so. I'm

18:00

sorry basis at the I'm I'm with you.

18:02

I can't. Believe. They.

18:04

Made. That. Call. And.

18:07

That leads and everything else seems that the Bill and

18:09

I were talking about on Sunday spot right? Where.

18:12

Bill was like, well, It's a. Scary didn't

18:15

Six, they will get in seven of them as

18:17

she carried. Out and. I understand and

18:19

I. I don't want to be completely naive about

18:21

this, but I don't think anybody ever keeps track

18:23

of. All. The

18:25

Times. That. People propose something

18:27

is going to happen and that something's

18:29

rigged. And. Then that outcome doesn't

18:31

happen in the just as ignored. Whereas.

18:34

You have something last night like World's Pacers.

18:36

It's next. What? Do you expect? Well,

18:38

the series didn't need to be extended. I'm pretty sure

18:40

they're going to play another one. This one. Think.

18:42

Was just one game so far between the

18:45

Nixon faces and the Pacers historic we were

18:47

last couple years. If you look at some

18:49

the free throw differential forum consider considering how

18:51

they play and then how bad they are

18:53

defensively. There.

18:56

At a massive disadvantage on the free

18:58

a free throw disparity think so the

19:00

freezer dispiriting likely will be a problem

19:02

in the series for them based on.

19:04

How. They play. Alec, the warriors

19:06

of my don't have any of the Plaza, The Borders,

19:09

and Lakers last year, but you get my point now.

19:11

the brunson fouls that he gets. I hate. I

19:13

hate the bad ones that he gets. I can

19:15

appreciate who is as player. And. As

19:17

I also read of I said, you know

19:19

I am all for the brunson critique. On

19:22

the plate is like think about the it's. The

19:25

whole conspiracy part of this one's

19:27

got. Foster was assigned to Game

19:29

six for Philadelphia, New York. Foster.

19:32

Ha the extender. That's

19:34

his nickname. On. N B A Twitter.

19:37

You're like wow, that's because they were going to want

19:39

to game seven of them as she ratings dollars your

19:42

the money Russell of Coach Football. Dude, it's about the

19:44

money. Thank. You. I

19:46

was able to figure that out. Yep! Brazil.

19:49

Got worse cause the entire playoffs in

19:52

the biggest moments. From.

19:54

That through. In Game

19:56

six. Against Philadelphia.

20:00

That one oh nine. One away, Fifty three

20:02

seconds left. Bronson gets the and one the

20:04

treasury ongoing. It ended Mowbray. He missed the

20:06

free throw sort. The fix was it for

20:08

the game. Several why they make that call

20:10

vet. And that's simply

20:12

what I will present. Stuff. Like

20:15

that all of the time theories.

20:17

Everybody wringing their hands and then

20:19

something happens that spits in the

20:21

face. Of the. Consensus.

20:24

Agreement. And. So I

20:26

hate last night's call. I

20:28

hate it. I don't think

20:30

it was because it was the chance for

20:32

the next to win. That it was

20:34

made. With.

I don't believe you're in Minneapolis yet. It

in your debt of. Of

22:31

I'm in a mahogany panel then with

22:33

the current case the door. Lap.

22:36

And I guess the obvious question I have for

22:39

years saw the out there Minneapolis for games three

22:41

and four. The. Timber Wolves or have

22:43

made me or she could see this. This

22:45

is Timber Wolves. I guess I'm the sixth

22:47

man. And then on the back. Is.

22:50

A Lord still be now. I don't wear

22:52

jerseys to a game so I won't be

22:54

wearing that to the game. Is that correct?

22:56

Ryan, you can't Were not you riders, I'm

22:59

a cast. Whichever expect that to happen. I'm

23:01

thinking about wearing and warm ups and the

23:03

taking it off and putting on a blazer

23:05

for the first quarter. And

23:08

as such as like a third fourth, there's

23:10

just too many great items and I imagine

23:12

you still have your closet the had to

23:14

invest in like I look at my closet

23:16

like a word would have you done over

23:18

the years. like well, when you're on television

23:20

and entertaining a nation five days a week,

23:22

you ten. You. Can justify it's

23:25

but there's still a lot of close their

23:27

stuff I don't want to get rid of

23:29

and I just know where anymore. Imagine you

23:31

have the same struck the only American television

23:33

I remember. John Tesh was hosting our Entertainment

23:35

Tonight for years and he says I haven't

23:37

paid for haircut twenty years. He was so

23:39

proud of that. But we haven't paid for

23:41

clothes or blazers the you and I we

23:43

we get the free cell variety of shop.

23:45

No no I paid for everything. I don't

23:47

know, I don't. Think suitably

23:49

order of silence to the Us

23:52

piano. Snuff.

23:54

For the radio simulcasts, I don't think

23:56

so. although. The. Clothing

23:58

budget was an exam when I think it's a

24:00

nice thing. do have had yes but when they

24:02

were that many acres I think the men's budget

24:05

was like you can maybe get one good suit

24:07

and a belt out of the deal. I'm sure

24:09

the Cbs level it's It's somewhat of. A

24:12

larger clothing allowance? Yeah, it's.

24:14

There's. If there's more than allow as

24:16

it's I don't pay for anything. They have

24:19

to pay for all the sued saw the

24:21

pants that all the loafers there in our

24:23

sister. Juries: And I

24:25

got in the late night was for

24:27

the her wardrobe stylistic comes with the

24:29

with the two thousand and I don't

24:31

blame you have kids so let's. I

24:35

watch that First went to Iraq. talk about in the

24:38

open today. The. First twenty four

24:40

minutes of what we saw defensively from your

24:42

team. I I wanted to

24:44

share it with somebody. I wanted someone to watch.

24:46

I wanted a new person who'd never watch basketball.

24:48

wanted me to come to my house. I want

24:50

to go. You need it. You need to see

24:52

what this is like. What was that like for

24:54

you? Well. Since she called

24:56

it the best offensive performance of the

24:59

season, it's hard for people to grasp

25:01

like the fans in Minnesota are stunned.

25:03

And one of the a local reporters

25:06

are of friend of mine named Judge

25:08

Zog. Add said the guys don't try

25:10

to comprehend it pisses. I was there

25:13

for the Eighty Seven Ninety One twins.

25:15

They're good team. You can processes process

25:17

this later. Just enjoy the ride. By.

25:21

Ryan. We were the number one

25:23

defensive team all year. We.

25:26

Did play. Ah, The

25:28

Nuggets tough last year. even though we last four games

25:30

to one, they said we. We. Played

25:32

them the bass and last year

25:35

Rudy was not. As. As

25:37

mobile as he is this year and Cadmus a

25:39

lot of games, he also miss games this year

25:41

by and I think you already know this by.

25:45

Of. Besides. Rudy, you've

25:47

got these. Rid Jane Mcdaniels just

25:49

plays hard all the time. That's

25:51

why spells out sometimes and nod

25:54

to kill our gender walker. He's

25:56

like a mini version of Jade

25:59

Mcdaniels and. In. I.

26:01

Could not have predicted last night

26:03

though. I I I guess they just

26:05

rallied of because Rudy couldn't make the

26:07

game. And I have a comment

26:09

on that a bit. but. It. Was

26:12

just a bizarre game and and and Ryan

26:14

the rest were calling anything surgery and allow

26:16

us to play physical. I mean this is.

26:20

This is right in our wheelhouse to body

26:22

up on people so that was as that

26:24

was a stunning game. I mean.

26:27

It's. Was. Jamal Murray

26:30

frustrated. Of

26:32

it. but like the one point and I talked about when

26:34

it just. I get I never

26:37

watch a game and go this things over

26:39

that around the A just like especially against

26:41

Denver. Okay, but Denver always figures it out

26:43

with the other one Denver struggling of like

26:46

okay they'll figure this out. Would umaga doubled

26:48

when he brought the ball over half court

26:50

against Alexander Walker and Jane. And.

26:53

You, it was physical. Body wasn't fouled. There

26:55

was no agree, just foul. Sometimes I think

26:57

basketball players think like I'm never supposed it,

27:00

like you're never supposed to feel another body

27:02

part from a defender at any point was

27:04

fresh. You're going to get bombed seventy times,

27:06

writes you reach in and I just felt

27:08

like in that moment ago, I think this

27:11

game is over. Or now over. And it

27:13

was thirty Three Twenty Yeah. And

27:15

I who I was concern on that particular play

27:17

because I've seen this happen where we trapped somebody

27:20

and you can tell the offensive players frustrated and

27:22

then as as the. Second, Stick.

27:24

Then. We start reaching and then we sow

27:27

and they get bailed out. Say god they

27:29

didn't hack a richer or come down on

27:31

anybody. By. Job. Yeah,

27:34

it's it's you know we're really good

27:36

idea that ice. The thing I've seen

27:38

in the past is I've seen Jaden

27:41

drape you know, all over people. And.

27:44

the guy still scores cause branding or

27:46

can score and I saw not last

27:48

year play against. Jamal.

27:50

Murray is jade was out in this

27:52

is the playoffs. He was all over

27:54

Jamal Murray. Any still scored because you

27:56

know good off at speeds. Good defense

27:59

but. It and

28:01

even in the regular season this year which

28:03

was out we played out Pepper. And

28:05

Rudy couldn't guard yogurt than they had

28:07

Kyle Anderson who couldn't guard of and

28:09

as couldn't garden. And then last night

28:11

they all did a pretty nice job.

28:14

Ah, you know, not every sort of

28:16

nausea defense. He's not always a great

28:18

defensive post player, he will help out

28:20

block shots, But. He played

28:22

in a piano sequence. there were yogurt

28:24

miss like. To. Bunnies right at

28:26

the rim because the bars was right

28:29

there. So it's it's hard to comprehend

28:31

a grasp of by job. I'm.

28:33

Enjoying it. It so also

28:36

to like be there was a stretch where

28:38

as against Denver aware of what this task

28:40

is and you would think after game one

28:42

you're at home. You. Get the pride of

28:44

it and it was. It was actually worse. Nice.

28:47

First quarters of been an issue and Malone is

28:49

mentioned it now and yeah all the stats and

28:51

after last like of stats weren't great going into

28:53

this game for them offensively. By. For

28:55

a young team. To. Have

28:58

this which were. No.

29:00

I joked about like as Phoenix actually lot

29:02

better than Fat. Ah, right right. It.

29:06

It. Doesn't happen in this sport like

29:08

this. and last night started to make

29:10

me think. That. Getting anything is

29:12

on the table for this team now

29:14

and to see. Denver's will just broken.

29:17

And. Look, there's still some work to do. You gonna

29:19

get these guys two more times and maybe can draw

29:21

the cliches that you'd expect to go in. but. I

29:24

was just. I'll be shocked if

29:26

in Game three, you don't see a level of

29:28

intensity from Denver that is far beyond anything we've

29:30

seen at the start of these two games because

29:32

that had to be like a wakeup call my

29:34

be too late but there has to be a

29:36

wake up call here for do you mean everybody

29:38

on the best sorry he taxes that kind of

29:40

thing you're talking about? I just did. It does

29:42

is. The right thing. I

29:45

hope it doesn't get dirty or physical

29:47

but saw. You. Know I

29:49

think you said ah during and towards the

29:51

end of the regular season. I

29:54

think you had a hard to hard with Bill

29:56

and you said you know Denver be meets Boston.

29:58

The finals in Boston has no. Shares is

30:00

and kind of you said boss because I

30:02

I agree with you that Denver's the best

30:04

team in the league and until we beat

30:07

them the Timber Wolves and I'm going to

30:09

see how diverse of the champ but it

30:11

did you say that Denver would with Dub

30:13

Spank Boston in the finals? I thought I

30:15

heard that. Space is not.

30:18

Word. For word what I said, I see one

30:20

syllable ends and and it's case sound of fun

30:22

to say spank me. Hurt. Me: Will.

30:26

Save this real life advice. part of you want

30:28

to get a this content but I that that

30:30

surprises me from you us my my thing with

30:32

Denver when boss and last the rematch in Denver

30:35

and both those games were close the one in

30:37

Boston the one in Denver but I felt like.

30:40

My. My. Directly my line on

30:42

it was that Boston. Like

30:44

has his unsolvable problem in the way Denver

30:46

closes versus the way the Boston closes and

30:49

that's why would extend. Yeah I agree. I

30:51

said before I said we would be seen

30:53

x in six games even though I thought

30:55

it was awful match or based on the

30:57

regular season but I just said hey we

31:00

have home court and we have the best

31:02

defensive basketball but the Denver thing you know

31:04

if you know that if we would have

31:06

beaten of Phoenix and game eighty two in

31:09

Minnesota we would. We. Would have

31:11

home court against Denver and we

31:13

lost that game wasn't even close.

31:15

Ah be so. You. Have Denver

31:17

has the home court. Or. Or.

31:19

The Or did. And. I

31:21

just stuff. I.

31:24

I guess the only way to explain it

31:26

as we have the best defense, but somehow

31:28

we've. We've. Gone up a

31:30

notch in the playoffs and I'm telling

31:32

you the rest arden are letting us

31:35

play physical not said advantage to the

31:37

Wolves. Yeah last. Night was.

31:39

I don't feel like it was anything that

31:42

was egregious. Ya, the Murray call that sent

31:44

Malone off like that was a charge on

31:46

chat. Absolutely. that was ajar, right? right? Yeah,

31:48

that was a charge. That's. Going

31:50

to happen reasons you the game.south and game

31:52

on and or the for hims when you

31:54

when you went up for the job for

31:56

this state. He. I was able to

31:59

get calls in Iowa. Why is that

32:01

gives you so strong? Like Le Bron Or what? He.

32:03

Doesn't thought. Oh. Yeah.

32:06

He complains. I mean he started to

32:08

like really complain his his. His.

32:10

Toned it down in the in the

32:12

playoffs. In the regular season he's He's

32:15

not Luca but he he claps at

32:17

the Raf automatic technical. he says hey

32:19

every time he drives and Asia to

32:21

him. You. Know said to

32:23

stop whining. Ah, But.

32:26

And and. And. You know I

32:28

put pressure on him I I said dead

32:30

before the playoffs. Would. Or

32:32

we're gonna go as far as at takes us.

32:35

And. Ah, But. He's

32:38

played better than I say. she said better.

32:40

I thought he was the playoffs so his

32:42

weakness, Ryan. I want to tell you a

32:44

little something. I looked up the stat just

32:46

fine over the will research. He

32:50

turns it over. Sometimes our team turns

32:53

it over. That's one of our weaknesses

32:55

are are are sometimes are crunch time

32:57

on offense and are turnovers. Saw

33:00

defense we always played pretty well

33:02

of but ants jump shot. Is.

33:05

Falling in the play offs. I don't

33:07

know if you know this. When Cat

33:09

went down in the regular season, he

33:12

had six straight games of over thirty

33:14

points. Playing. Marvelously.

33:17

Then. He went to do a little sunk. He.

33:19

Had four games where it didn't hit a

33:21

three, went over twenty two or three pointers

33:23

and the towards the end of the season

33:26

and he when the gym and work with

33:28

his guy and now he's hitting his jump

33:30

shot. Here's my little stat I want to

33:32

give you. Because I don't think he's

33:34

a pure shooter is not. He says that

33:36

he's worked on his jump shot. Now we

33:38

know there are athletic players in N B.

33:40

A. History. Who. Are not great

33:42

jump shooters, but they work on it.

33:44

Dwayne Wade. Le. Bron James

33:46

saw him as and. Le.

33:49

Bron and Dwyane Wade's one thing you can

33:51

do with or shooters. Look at their free

33:53

throw percentage that will tell you how pure

33:55

they are with their jump shot. You

33:58

know what? The career? Free throw

34:00

percentage is with and Le Bron and Dwayne

34:02

Wade are This is what I looked up

34:05

just for. You know, On.

34:07

Of seventy percent. For which

34:09

guy. Oh I have to guess

34:11

each guys decide which is in the only

34:13

thing as the number one career of those

34:15

three guys. What's the order of free throw

34:17

percentage? Oh. Is.

34:20

Have weighed. Wages Second,

34:22

his career is seventy six point

34:24

five percent on free throws. Le

34:27

Bron his third seven or seventy

34:29

three point six. And

34:31

and in his young career is seventy

34:34

nine point three, the number one free

34:36

throw percentage of those three guys. He

34:38

shot eighty three point six percent this

34:40

year from the free throw line. And.

34:44

Dwayne way know abroad never shot that site.

34:46

In a season for free throws to

34:48

so little tidbits there for pure shooting.

34:52

I love it or your scouts talk about free

34:54

throw percentage all the time. Hey you don't like

34:56

is three point numbers what did you do in

34:58

college and is why those guys weren't college? And

35:00

you're right. like the pure shooting it wasn't like

35:02

just out of the lab. He. Was this

35:04

amazing shooter? I wonder when you watch

35:07

it take over like this? Does.

35:09

It remind you of bit like of

35:12

say the first time he saw Steve

35:14

Levy tossed in that sound. I

35:16

mean. Levy.

35:19

Yeah, don't please don't forget

35:21

Call Ravage. That guy was

35:23

underrated. Ah, Agree.

35:26

You. Know what happened? I'd love the story but. I'm

35:30

gonna be a guy. Rabie,

35:32

Were working together. He gets baseball tonight. I

35:34

got cool. He goes. I'm an M

35:37

B A guy. Rabie

35:39

was in and be a guys but you

35:41

adapt and you embrace baseball. Because.

35:44

That's what they wanted him to do. Drivers

35:46

own member Something you're not a star

35:48

Ryan nor be told you that. Just

35:51

be humble numbers jealous of. The

35:54

things that are I just think of his own

35:56

funny as so funny. Yeah.

35:59

Yeah, I know, You and I You and

36:01

I have shared a few stories over the

36:03

years. I love em all. I were pelts

36:05

Favor Rabbit story that I talk is when

36:07

I was in Boston. It was

36:09

tough for us to get yes I know, I've

36:11

told the story before and share with you. And.

36:14

I thought the world the ravage. And by the

36:16

way, I don't see that past tense as if

36:18

my penis is change. She says solid as he

36:20

gets his credible. But. Is a buttoned

36:23

up guy and it was real tough for

36:25

us to get guess she was a Boston

36:27

guy. And. So we're reach an hour later.

36:29

We have ravaged on in your Like while we got

36:31

Ravage for twelve minutes today, the show's going to be

36:33

awesome. Was nowhere to go but up. And.

36:36

I ran into him at Fenway. Ah

36:39

don't know. Couple weeks after that and

36:41

I'm still a real new and I'm

36:43

excited. I'm excited to stop up with

36:45

call ravaged person. And. I see

36:47

him the bowels of Fenway and I walk up

36:49

to him. I said hey, thanks so much for

36:51

the time ago. It's funny because people think you

36:53

don't like the Red Sox where you're from here.

36:56

It's just you know, it's you being so professional.

36:58

The. You don't want to mean anyway and he just

37:00

looks at me as he keeps walking is that

37:02

if you keep, tell him I'm. A

37:05

stay at. He's funny. You know he told

37:07

me a story once which I find very

37:10

hard to believe. That.

37:12

It was a playoff game. It

37:15

might even I don't have It was with Larry Bird

37:17

rookie year but early in his career and they say

37:19

and he said to me for we all know where

37:21

Larry lived with Simone, his lawn, Larry Bird, Mona's launch

37:23

and I remember we the i was a big playoff

37:25

game and my buddies and I wanted to give Larry

37:28

a six pack of beer so he went up there

37:30

and and and dyno you know answered the door and

37:32

said he sleep in right now but I'll take that

37:34

six back from Larry. Last,

37:37

that's true, but he said he actually like they just

37:39

want to The house gave Larry Bird a six pack

37:41

for the big playoff game for afterwards. The.

37:43

Other thing I wanted to say I wanted to ask you

37:45

because I don't know this about use a ratty was a

37:47

really good golfer. is a very good golf. And

37:50

of course I lows a the sport or whatever

37:52

you want to call the activity. Do.

37:54

You golf I don't see was a golfer. Hey,

37:56

I wouldn't think you'd be very good because you're

37:58

so. You're. The Bounty for

38:01

being honest. Pick it up again

38:03

this past year and out of

38:05

the gates. Was. Shocked at how

38:07

well I played move I hadn't played in

38:09

twenty years and I n I bought new

38:11

equipment, started messing with things and then I

38:13

got invited to play a couple nice courses.

38:17

People wanted to see what I had

38:19

wanted of biting out, wanted to be

38:21

social potential membership opportunities and every time

38:23

I played it's been a disaster. I:

38:25

I: yeah so yeah Line: I tore

38:27

my Acl or my calf a month

38:30

ago so I have only one lung

38:32

down. Oh. Or that's your

38:34

kind of your bread and butter. Your. Cow

38:36

he noted for future arm. I

38:38

wanted to say something about injuries

38:41

so fancy as the. The.

38:43

Torn patella. And.

38:47

Is plain hurts. The. Small he

38:49

isis at all the time when he's not

38:51

coaching. And. He's in pain. And

38:53

you're supposed arrested. So. I was

38:56

here in the some the player sock like

38:58

echoes man I just had surgery is major

39:00

I can't believe you just show up for

39:02

the game and coach and and just really

39:04

inspirational So a shoutout defense you for playing

39:06

hurt but also. He really coach

39:08

the team this year hard and so

39:10

did the staff and my favorite thing

39:12

was. Ah after the Charlotte game

39:14

at home when cat was chasing seventy points to

39:16

we lost weight a big like eighteen point lead

39:19

and we last. Century.

39:21

After the game said that was a disgusting

39:23

performance and I love that he was so

39:25

honest. You. Know it's one of those

39:27

things where I joked what I want to see him. Pull.

39:30

A Popovich and sub out that it's starting

39:32

five and the first few minutes if we're

39:34

sluggish. you know that dramatic move? the topic

39:36

as when he subs out the holes. Starting

39:39

five. But. Since she I I think he

39:41

finished third in coach of the year. And he's He's

39:43

doing a hell of a job. I'm

39:45

glad you brought him up because I think there's a

39:47

few things like I want to touch on him and

39:49

we've talked about button about school says Minnesota is that.

39:53

Them being a young team.

39:56

That's. When I was a great recipe for some did it wants

39:58

to coach car. And. Long

40:00

as at the school with it. Than. Everybody else

40:02

has to be cool with and cat

40:04

has not been my favorite player despite

40:07

the skillset. But. I think him being

40:09

out a bunch a great things happen. One.

40:11

It kind of. To and to

40:13

another level. Of knowing there's going

40:15

to be these moments where it's only me

40:18

offensively. And how am I gonna respond

40:20

And so far like I was worried about the

40:22

last little bit like a pupil in a load

40:24

up on him so much as know my to

40:26

for yeah force he will. He force the issue,

40:29

Will he be like some His younger guys are

40:31

dynamic players will you? I guess I'll just take

40:33

like fifteen awful shots on top of a normal

40:35

fifteen. I takes and and already is. Figure that

40:37

part out which is incredible. but I also think

40:39

with Cat being out in the team still playing

40:42

well and the nars taking on this role where

40:44

I'd agree with you I never looked at not

40:46

like a defensive asset. But. His healthy

40:48

sense got a lot better. And if

40:50

you can just move your feet with the challenges

40:52

joke it's although I'd imagine you know depending what

40:55

happens or Rudy's and be back so it should

40:57

be an issue. It changes their assignments all a

40:59

kind of stuff that you to see him feeling

41:01

like will. I have to take my stuff to

41:03

another level and I also think it helped cat

41:05

realize. Okay, while I was out,

41:07

things didn't fall apart and I have

41:09

to put more effort into some of

41:11

the other stuff like I would always

41:13

looking chat is a defensive deficit. The.

41:16

Decision making still is always going to drive

41:18

me crazy, but the collective of what cat

41:20

is with this entire group that. Like

41:22

that may have been. This.

41:25

This thing that happens with his team

41:27

that is incredibly talented. The rosters get

41:29

all of these different options now. I.

41:31

Just think that time meant a lot

41:33

more to the development this team for

41:35

them to be ready because it's a

41:38

like everybody kind of had to be

41:40

more on board with the role despite

41:42

not necessarily doing anything. Are deep into

41:44

the playoffs before. Yeah, couple beautiful points

41:46

so. Cat. Is polarizing? People

41:48

minnesota have an issue with them. He's

41:50

and he's an odd bird. is a

41:52

quirky guy. is in interviews. I

41:55

watched the last night. You know I

41:57

know is offensive savant but he always.

42:00

Reaches and picks up silly as fouls and I

42:02

are you the last night he he plays yolk

42:04

it's pretty slapping down at the boy is going

42:06

to get called for he did in the second

42:08

half he got a couple. Silly.

42:11

Fouls and I kind of just know

42:13

who Cat is so I know he's

42:15

going to be infuriating. I meet somebody

42:17

wrote. Last. Night there was a

42:20

tweet from Brit Robson where it was a

42:22

the second half. Cat. Got the

42:24

ball, the top of the key and he was holding it

42:26

and then he tried to drive. And

42:28

then he turned it over. And.

42:32

Brief. Wrote something to the effect that he

42:34

always wants to do too much and that

42:36

haunts him. A sense of what he said.

42:38

It haunts him so he i he's gonna

42:40

be. That. Inconsistent guy. Now

42:42

when he's on you know I go crazy

42:45

with his saw shot and it's his core

42:47

driving. Ah the thing he get do which

42:49

I pointed out to some people is he

42:51

does. He can't do three dribbles in a

42:53

pool of jumper. He can't do it. Kevin

42:56

Durant's Brandon Ingram does. He can't even back

42:58

down as you to job or like yolk.

43:00

It's does either shoot spot up shooting. Words.

43:03

The freight train to the rim and

43:05

that's where their offensive fouls happen. So

43:07

he's A. He's a very unique player.

43:09

He isn't Juri Etti. Now you said

43:11

something about At. And the whole

43:13

thing that they wanted and to figure

43:15

out is when you get double team

43:17

give it up the ball back. So

43:19

Mike Conley and since you're saying. There's.

43:22

Blood. Seeing you there trap you. give it up.

43:25

You've. Got to the ribbon will find you

43:27

or they'll go off. The double team will give

43:29

it right back to you. So I called the

43:31

floor game. What kind of decision making are you

43:34

are you doing There he is. He has to

43:36

approve is floor game. And.

43:38

He he has in the playoffs. he still

43:41

again I'm up on the purists. He's.

43:43

Still my drive and try to

43:45

do across court facets intercepted but.

43:48

He's twenty two and I'm I'm.

43:51

Or yet, sister, he's playing at a level that

43:53

I didn't know he would play at. I mean,

43:56

It's. It's a little ridiculous because he does

43:58

things in the regular see. Then that

44:00

I know are not sustainable who have a

44:02

three minute stretch like at the end of

44:04

the pace or Dame in Indiana? He made

44:07

three shots in a row. And then

44:09

he made the big block on the backward were hit his

44:11

head. He. Can't play that

44:13

way for forty minutes he was like, really.

44:15

And chance he did that. At

44:17

the end of the game. At home early

44:19

the season against Boston he made three shots

44:21

in a row and then he beat up Jason

44:24

tests of he got it is Schwartz as

44:26

I you'll get on with you can't do that.

44:28

But. He is he now.

44:31

He's better than I saw. It

44:34

keeps improving. Any love spin

44:36

she and he's a wants to be

44:38

coach Todd need listens to everything since

44:40

he says so. I

44:43

love these. Ryan. These people

44:46

are saying some these reporters he's gonna he's

44:48

gonna leave for a bigger market is now

44:50

is how do you just bought a house

44:52

and. Yeah. I'm saying kg

44:55

stay there and stand there, You

44:57

know. Yeah, loot.

44:59

I was guilty of it when I was

45:01

really worried about the lack of future fact

45:03

flexibility with Rudy the transaction last year. I'm

45:05

like, okay, Sir William, a nice and all

45:08

this and then the way it works with

45:10

stars but it still is the rookie contract.

45:12

It's still the seven years, so they are.

45:14

Now that's all put to bed and it

45:16

seems like his personality. Is. So you're

45:19

right it it it's a genuine at

45:21

this point. The. Early or well,

45:23

so far, every indicator of the sunlight

45:25

who he is as Guy. And.

45:27

The fact that the Steam is ahead of

45:29

schedule that he's a have schedule like Bush

45:31

wasn't even worry about that. I didn't feel

45:34

bad about suggesting it last year when I'm

45:36

going okay, still do the rookie extension and

45:38

all his eldest of the stuff's but now

45:40

the Steam is so far beyond what I

45:42

thought when I watch them last year. And

45:44

it's not just him, although he has a

45:46

huge part of fund raising their floor, so.

45:49

When. I think of his interviews. There.

45:52

Are a lot of athletes I will pass on

45:54

now. And. I remember having

45:56

negative neediest been radio where it was like hey

45:58

we can get. I

46:01

don't know. I'm actually gonna want to name an

46:03

applique. It's going to make like I'm calling them

46:05

out or whatever but skill arenas. A

46:07

little what's a gilbert. Will. Will will

46:10

say gilbert it and we have some follow

46:12

ups for Gil. Ah. Yes!

46:15

Interviews. Are. Just.

46:18

Increase. Every time I'm white, I wonder what he's

46:20

going to say. This gonna make me like I'm

46:22

even more if that's possible And hot? Give me,

46:24

Give me some air. Reaction.

46:26

And then pivot that and do your favorite

46:29

athlete that you've ever interviewed. There had to

46:31

be a few people. The you actually rectify.

46:33

This person gets it in a format where

46:35

athletes don't always shine. Try to say I

46:38

do have an aunt story for a bill.

46:40

I'm just saying because I I typically. I.

46:43

Double barreled you there, which I'm not

46:45

na, aren't That's like Alice like I'm

46:47

I'm ambidextrous or amphibious. Whatever you want

46:49

me to say their ah, ah no.

46:53

I. Typically like. Talking to coaches

46:55

and and broadcasters more the I

46:57

an Eagles and stuff and. Brian.

47:00

I'm a red Reggie Miller on the show. I a

47:02

lotta and be a guys on the show. Reggie was

47:04

great! Ah, Is A I

47:06

gave him a I gave a five question any I

47:08

said how many scenes on a basketball any I think

47:10

he had a wrong and there I said there's a

47:12

ball right over there on our on our said he

47:14

goes I didn't want to look at it I don't

47:17

want to cheat. I go as why you never won

47:19

a championship. So I was giving him crap about not

47:21

winning a championship. I. Don't know which and

47:23

be a player. Ah. But.

47:25

But I will tell you a quick and story either.

47:27

You get a kick out of this. Schools

47:30

were in the L A for a couple

47:32

games with the Clippers, the Lakers the that

47:34

layover before they went to Utah so that

47:36

a couple days off and I went to

47:38

practice a century. So yeah come by practice

47:40

and. After practice iii stock

47:43

in a sense she added a couple jokes

47:45

site they were the players are shooting around.

47:47

I said can I go talk to slow

47:49

mon get that shit out of his shot

47:51

you know and he says good luck with

47:53

that. you know slow as it hits it

47:55

a shot and dub. And

47:58

then I he said hey have you ever met. That

48:00

and I said no. So he was going to

48:02

call and over and I said da. Vinci.

48:05

You know, at the end of his

48:07

life, Joe Dimaggio insisted that he be

48:09

introduced as the greatest living Yankees. So

48:12

finity the suspects assisted egos are you

48:14

want to be introduced? So now I'm

48:16

just laughing hard because he's got a

48:18

million things on his mind. his coaching

48:20

this team. he just missed a game

48:22

in Cleveland his one of the weather.

48:25

And. He's now asking me how I want to

48:27

be introduced to and and I said what you

48:29

know I did Lane I like natural host you

48:31

know and there's a silly and then so and

48:34

comes over and said she says this is Craig

48:36

Kilborn he's one of the original. he has been

48:38

anchors on sports center and he finished i look

48:40

at and I said i'm a legit and then

48:42

at last. And we took a picture.

48:45

And. And then nice a

48:47

job working on your game. Try not to turn

48:49

the ball over and he was nice to meet

48:51

you sir. I said you have to call me

48:53

sir So that was that. I said descent she

48:55

is it isn't okay. I told them not turned

48:57

51:39

how it's going on fold, that's what I

51:41

mean. You have to take a side. Odd

51:44

I don't have to which the I know I

51:46

it's as kind of like to team which is

51:48

where does constraint not basketball? You know,

51:50

Glen Taylor is great. He kept the team. He.

51:52

Kept the team in Minnesota. You. Know

51:55

what you know. it bothers me as you know.

51:57

He hired David, gone but some and I heard

51:59

that. Stern: talk to

52:01

him in jail Hiring Con:

52:03

David Kahn. Which. Was a

52:05

complete debacle. But as

52:08

far as a Rod M R. glory. They.

52:10

Hired Tim Connelly's. Ah,

52:13

A Jolly made the Rudy trade. And.

52:18

That. I said you and Bill were very

52:20

supportive of. Not. Everyone I

52:22

know. I

52:24

don't know if after game to as the

52:26

time to get our case about it got

52:28

off work but I do want to ask

52:30

you guys were like. You.

52:32

Have to be opinionated in the jar Did

52:35

you do? Are. You ever fearful

52:37

of being wrong or you just say the hell was

52:39

that. I'm going to be wrong on things and that's

52:41

the way it is. and you just say I was

52:43

wrong grants others magnitudes of being wrong. But with this

52:45

one I feel like the price. I would never say

52:48

yellows. there was an awesome price. There

52:50

was an awesome price to pay for Rudy Go

52:52

Bare Zola. he was declining at the time. So

52:54

a people Kiki are just Nick Saban You stop

52:56

asking me for some reason why the right you're

52:59

right, he is. It's thing where he was a

53:01

lot of picks. We got to keep Jane Mcdaniels

53:03

but was a lot of first round picks but.

53:06

You. Know they say were young team. He.

53:09

Like my camera. How will the as

53:11

if he's thirty two? Thirty two. I'm

53:13

an obvious and Kansas and my colleagues

53:15

thirty six. And

53:17

we seem do is so so.

53:19

That's. That's. An older group, we

53:22

don't know how long they're going to play. well.

53:24

Or. To at at at a high level. Ah,

53:27

It seems I don't want to go

53:29

on a limb here. seems that the

53:31

timely trade. Think. He's

53:34

got better chemistry. The deal. I

53:39

remember when I you know doing a little.

53:43

Was like I would either. The have in there

53:46

is I. I couldn't stand watch it anymore because

53:48

it was so obvious Diesel Russell's like wait what

53:50

and enjoy it as guy. Well.

53:52

I just game is is strange you know

53:54

in in in some days when it's working

53:56

at shotmaking it's pace and and other days

53:58

he likes to chew. Three, she likes

54:01

to double up. Sonic must be

54:03

as favorite restaurant is full ride

54:05

up so. You can use added to

54:07

get back in a late nights. Off when

54:09

I it's but when I think

54:11

about you in attendance is as

54:13

Minnesota's favorite son. But. You just it's

54:16

it's about basketball. You don't have to worry about

54:18

it. There's there's never anyone trying to pull you

54:20

one way or the other to make up. Just.

54:23

Have to take a public site for our

54:25

dow I'd or I don't know better.a I

54:27

I don't participate in that. There's not a

54:29

lot of pressure like. I didn't get

54:31

my eight hours last night of sleep and I

54:34

just like you not want to do anything in

54:36

our users have to is like. I. Go

54:38

to the Phoenix we go to the Fifa game.

54:40

First game he won by twenty five. Took.

54:43

My brother a prior to the game I said

54:45

weren't We don't have to do anything except if

54:47

we lose We have to have fun at Mason

54:49

Margot which is is wonderful French restaurants ever go

54:51

have dinner with after the game was a to

54:54

thirty get an afternoon game. It's.

54:56

Life is easy and die. You just

54:58

enjoy it. Ah, I.

55:01

Could as your Jj Mccarthy question and with the

55:03

Vikings well do that another time. Another how good

55:05

he has I can't wait to see was to

55:07

I was. What's. At. As

55:09

as yeah with stable it yeah. But

55:12

ah, we're playing very well. Let's.

55:14

Not get ahead of ourselves. But.

55:18

We. Play well against. Okay see, I think

55:20

they're going to be Dallas I'd assume. I'll.

55:23

Tell you one thing about okay see.

55:25

I guess you watch this stuff. So

55:27

she's really gifted at drawing fouls where

55:29

he'll drive. Initiate. Contact and

55:32

then snap his head back and

55:34

draw fouls. Ah,

55:36

But I hope they let us continue to play

55:38

physical as I jump ahead. So it's either going

55:40

to be okay see or Boston. Whoever wins the

55:43

series between Denver, Minnesota I think it's gonna they're

55:45

gonna have to play okay. Scene of the advances

55:47

can be Boston. I don't see the next. As.

55:50

As thrilling as they are watch I

55:52

don't see them beating Boston so I

55:54

jumping around for you That Ryan. Yeah.

55:57

You really really Russia? Had I say this about the

55:59

sci stuff, what you want to spend some fouls know

56:01

the not gonna like they're called. I would agree with

56:03

you they're going to be in there but. When.

56:05

The majority of his. Foul. Hunting

56:08

is on the of fate. And if

56:10

you go off like that's. That's. On

56:12

you to be disciplined and you would think over the

56:14

course of the series the perimeter guys can be a

56:16

little bit more discipline been like. I'd rather give him

56:18

the pull up from ten feet. Than. Trying

56:21

to contest all the stuff in the air

56:23

because yeah there's a lot of baiting. Is

56:25

that the head snapping back? stop the on

56:27

the drives. I. Don't like any

56:29

of it, but it's not all that

56:31

with him. There are some all parada

56:33

shell hit you on is effortless a

56:36

get shots off. He handles the ball

56:38

well. He shoots a good percentage of.

56:40

The. Or he's good any we are jumping ahead.

56:43

Oh I wanted to tell you something about

56:45

the wolves because I watched or them all

56:47

for the season. So their their weaknesses were.

56:50

Turnovers because Jane Mcdaniels and these guys are

56:52

not all great passes or ball handlers and

56:55

the a cat and and will turn the

56:57

ball over So I think we're twelve last

56:59

night which to me is a max you

57:01

should have. ah of. And. That's

57:04

been a problem and are off at

57:06

sometimes is is clunky and not not

57:08

as effective of in crunch time thousand

57:10

it's not a problem. so far in

57:13

the playoffs were playing at a higher

57:15

level and you said something earlier which

57:17

I wanted to echo. I.

57:20

I. Said the people prior to the series. In.

57:22

Crunch time, you have to give the advantage

57:25

to Denver because yolk, it's They're always going

57:27

to get a good shot. You. Got

57:29

your kids who can score or make the

57:31

past. And Jamal Murray is clutch.

57:34

And I said if we can win by eight

57:36

or more will be okay. but if it's a

57:38

one or two point game, you gotta give the

57:40

edge to Denver. Ah, thank God we're not in

57:42

that situation. The games have not been to close.

57:44

The first game is a seven point win for

57:46

the Wolves. Are There's one of the

57:49

thing I wanted to say about the wolves

57:51

are in the regular season. Some of us.

57:53

Hardcore. Fans. We.

57:55

Sell like. Ah,

57:58

Because. Of are all said. We

58:01

felt like we needed a third scorer.

58:04

We. Said we might this. You know what? We're good

58:06

this year, but we might need in the off season.

58:08

Add a third score. Because.

58:11

My. Kylie doesn't always scored twelve or

58:13

fourteen, and Jaden you can see

58:15

is inconsistent and in noise inconsistent.

58:18

Nods? Pretty consistent off the bench.

58:21

Is kind of weird that we're we're saying

58:23

that and we're not having an issue right

58:25

now And the playoffs with our office completely

58:27

agree. It was my major concern with them

58:29

and I didn't know how that was just

58:31

going to be solved with playoff level. but

58:33

I think over learning here of they're going

58:35

to play this kind of defense A don't

58:38

think it's going to matter. Yeah, that's what

58:40

it. Yeah and these guys are. You.

58:42

Know know I had a gene in the

58:44

first game against Phoenix and he does. He

58:46

can stay as that jump shot. Eyes.

58:49

Out of pure sugar obviously. But his form

58:51

is a little like Girvan worries over there.

58:53

and he she's a really high art itself.

58:56

Isn't fun flared, you know? we got him in

58:59

the Mike Conley trade. They threw him in. When.

59:01

We traded away dealer we got Connelly and

59:03

all. That. Was. That.

59:05

Was the trade? I mean that Rudy Rudy

59:07

trade and we've already covered ah a million

59:09

different times and it just gets audited over

59:11

and over and over again. And it's not

59:13

fair. I was kidding about him not being

59:15

there last night, but I'm sort of expecting

59:17

some of the like are still don't like

59:20

betrayed me like an employer. Is it just

59:22

every time they win and kind of raise

59:24

what our expectations of Bill on I did

59:26

just inundated. With. Minnesota fans that are

59:28

so mad which are never quarters and I can

59:30

imagine a young Kilburn being like a my team

59:32

just one worse. I spend my energy immediately. I

59:34

know what I should do. I. Should,

59:36

but it's just the way it works. So do it for

59:39

you're talking about or it way right Nice. I swore they

59:41

are. I apologize out or you're talking about Rudy missing the

59:43

game because I have a comment on that. I

59:45

know you do and that's where I want to finish. But.

59:48

It's. Even. If I don't like

59:50

to trade but you can't look at last night

59:52

and go hey. The

59:54

Advantage or they didn't have them but I do think

59:56

it speaks to like just how it's. Insane.

59:58

These perimeter defenders. You aren't up

1:00:00

everything else He? I think. Yeah, yeah,

1:00:03

I think last night was an odd

1:00:05

game, but maybe couldn't be duplicated without

1:00:07

Rudy. Ah, I. Thought they

1:00:09

were you know they single cover he he

1:00:11

okay because they don't want him passing out

1:00:14

to the three point shooters. It's like you're

1:00:16

when Coby would score forty and they would

1:00:18

lose. So what I thought they'd they would

1:00:20

occasionally the trap or york. it's a throw

1:00:23

him off so single coverage mostly and then

1:00:25

bring a double sometimes just a throw him

1:00:27

off to keep him off balance. What what

1:00:30

I was going to tell you is people

1:00:32

say ah. Yeah.

1:00:34

Was very disappointed. The Rudy miss miss

1:00:36

the game. And. he

1:00:38

was go take a private plane but the who

1:00:40

was windy but damn. You. Have

1:00:42

two types of players. Ryan you have the. The.

1:00:45

Other players if he they don't want to miss

1:00:47

miss the birth of their trial. And.

1:00:49

Then you have the. The.

1:00:52

Other guy who says I am going to

1:00:54

be a loving father but I am going

1:00:57

to miss the birth of my charges. I

1:00:59

want to win a championship. I respect Rudy.

1:01:01

And. I really respect the guys that Mr. Gates

1:01:04

have missed the birth of their child and want

1:01:06

to play him. So

1:01:08

I respect and really respect. Little.

1:01:11

Bit of the. Ted Williams would have been

1:01:13

your guy. Ah, alright, let's close with this. I

1:01:15

do it. I did it for a little while

1:01:17

but I just stopped doing it. I've always given

1:01:19

you credit for it was kind of. Paying.

1:01:21

Tribute to My God. You're born here. Let's

1:01:24

end with five questions for you. Are

1:01:27

fired. As

1:01:40

the sneaker I'll be wearing at game

1:01:42

straight for this is a A One

1:01:44

star. It's from Nineteen Seventy Four. They

1:01:46

still make them. This is swayed. That's

1:01:48

Timber Wolves green. That's. Terrific.

1:01:52

You. Should talk to them about the uniform. By.

1:01:54

The way moving forward. Oh right. Okay,

1:01:56

here we go. First one. When.

1:01:59

I asked. About your financial situation. The first

1:02:01

time we sat down with that one of the

1:02:03

weirdest questions anyone's ever ask. June and interview. I.

1:02:06

Don't know why the weirdest ah. That's.

1:02:08

Fine, I guess people are curious. how does

1:02:10

how does a Bon vivant. Retired.

1:02:13

Forty Two. Ah,

1:02:15

I live off to ten percent commission. I

1:02:17

don't page though, I live off my i

1:02:20

don't even touch my spend money. I live

1:02:22

off my five questions money that we there

1:02:24

was a five questions book. It's very big

1:02:26

in Europe. I didn't mean to

1:02:28

as get all over again, it was just people were

1:02:30

like what's this deal again and then I just like

1:02:32

i guess I'll ask the question everybody always wants the

1:02:34

answer to and then just looked at mean you're like

1:02:37

we reap what are you asking. Where's. My

1:02:39

money, right? And it was. It was just

1:02:41

sort of awkward but obviously late night say

1:02:43

as well. And if you're not extravaganza, you

1:02:45

know, waste money. It's an easy life. Will.

1:02:48

Tie or it's ah. This.

1:02:50

Is sort of open to your interpretation.

1:02:52

but how jealous was I have your

1:02:54

post of you and. Robert.

1:02:57

Evans hanging out in L a

1:02:59

early two thousand so house was

1:03:01

I very jealous. Is it

1:03:03

1:03:06

about this. You saw the offer That

1:03:08

1:03:10

Correct with Miles Teller. I would

1:03:12

say two episodes in I bought. Bob's.

Book rounds for read his book immediately

1:03:16

1:03:38

1:03:40

ass. I. Remember when he's explaining

1:03:42

to like one of his friends? On.

1:03:45

The other side of the law where they were

1:03:47

trying to figure out what's going on with his

1:03:49

his wife. And. She was Steve

1:03:51

Mcqueen. Of these devastated. And.

1:03:54

They were like or less sept somebody go talk

1:04:16

Actor I Matthew Goode who played

1:04:18

1:04:20

him. And. All I can say is. Every

1:04:23

line. Matthew Goode. Said. Was

1:04:25

entertaining so Bob is entertaining but he's

1:04:27

not. Every line is a gem by

1:04:29

it's pretty close he was. we had

1:04:31

dinner number of times I was in

1:04:33

his screening room watching the kids days

1:04:35

1:04:38

One of a guide whatever time. I.

1:04:41

1:04:45

him on the show. Numerous. Times the.

1:04:47

I don't think he was even nominated for

1:04:49

an Emmy for best supporting actor Chino. So

1:04:51

he was so good. A Miles who I've

1:04:53

always loved and got to know a little

1:04:55

bit. He had to play it straight for

1:04:57

his role. Matthew Goode scenes were like. Tom

1:05:00

and Greg scenes in succession, whereas if I

1:05:02

could just watch those on an endless loop

1:05:04

rape how good he was a plane Evans

lights ready to go play our style

1:08:02

here are I held us back last

1:08:04

week. And Surrey has

1:08:06

an updated standings for the

1:08:08

alliance were with pivoted from.

1:08:11

Who's. Done the fourth fifth year. So

1:08:13

what are we have so far? Sorry yes Oh

1:08:16

how I do It is basically. Like.

1:08:18

The fourth: bad as usually kind of a throwaway, as

1:08:20

bad as usually easier to hit. so I put that

1:08:22

the other category. And.

1:08:25

To the other categories five and five which should probably

1:08:27

be better. Ah Kow I are both

1:08:29

sixty four and are bats and you are five and

1:08:31

five but unfortunately the par les itself is one A

1:08:33

Overall So but here's the thing. we hit one more

1:08:35

were basically that even so this is the week with

1:08:38

the one. We are, but we may have

1:08:40

the brand pivot because it looks like. The.

1:08:43

Over On Doors are different than just hey

1:08:45

totals were we might shoot a little bit

1:08:47

lower than what the over Under numbers on

1:08:49

the points like Luca has some of these

1:08:51

nights I think think brunson was like thirty

1:08:54

five points over under and you just look

1:08:56

at Daniel at how can I take that

1:08:58

over and yet editing As most of us

1:09:00

right, most of us would you like I

1:09:02

don't want I don't want to put his

1:09:05

and that's like that's rather than been under

1:09:07

that I so great about the first half.

1:09:09

Was. Described as perfect and then it's like

1:09:11

know, He. Just he went nuts

1:09:14

and I think that wasn't game. It.

1:09:16

Wasn't the fifty point game now that

1:09:18

would have been bad or it so

1:09:20

I'm we're going with okay see in

1:09:22

Dallas area I know he put the

1:09:24

math and already so I'm. I.

1:09:27

Had to picks for this one. It was

1:09:29

of luca point total. And. It was

1:09:31

a gaffer point total. I'm

1:09:33

in. When you look at Lucas. Individual.

1:09:36

Numbers like a lot of guys missed games in

1:09:38

their match ups this year. In the head to

1:09:40

head of I'll look it up again. Just

1:09:43

to make sure have that right the like Luca. Had.

1:09:46

A Heart of Assists. In.

1:09:50

This in the regular season matchups them so

1:09:52

or what do we have right now. Yeah.

1:09:54

So you have Daniel Gaffer ten

1:09:57

plus points. And you have

1:09:59

Luca.yet to. To a record a

1:10:01

plus assists. And. I'll throw Kyle's and

1:10:03

as well Kyle has Dodgers score thirty points

1:10:05

which you know. Again, These are all

1:10:07

the gym except for Gaffer. These are all totals.

1:10:10

And. I'm going to throw in shit. Home run over

1:10:12

thirteen and a half points which than other all

1:10:14

points total. I just that you get there

1:10:16

are the average spitting on the year because be

1:10:18

have a pretty big ain't broke as the obscenity

1:10:20

be charged up. that gets us a plus for

1:10:23

thirty five I love is bad idea. Of. Yeah.

1:10:25

We felt a lot better about this when I mean look

1:10:27

I'm is to the four games kyrie miss to the four

1:10:29

games with season series stuff with okay seat as the suit

1:10:32

play out all that much but when you look at loop

1:10:34

the shooting numbers. On. The splits.

1:10:37

Against okay see like as much

1:10:39

as I can't wait to see

1:10:42

the fully on least playoff dort.

1:10:45

I'm but in the games his shooting numbers

1:10:47

in the to regular season games like they

1:10:49

have one game I put have a ton

1:10:51

of points but I mean the shooting splits

1:10:53

are incredible for Luca on top of averaging

1:10:55

just under fourteen assists. So. I

1:10:58

don't know if they're going to double i'm in

1:11:00

the Asus part of it gets burned or if

1:11:02

he's just gonna go ahead and get his points

1:11:04

with. This one is just some of these guys

1:11:06

are so good. it's so scary betting the under

1:11:08

but if we can't hit one, we may force

1:11:10

ourselves doing under pivot. For. All four picks

1:11:13

for this one so have space I'm under.

1:11:15

Only parlay? yeah but we do really like

1:11:17

this one so I can't wait for the

1:11:19

series I want. When I was a good

1:11:21

okay see get eliminated and I didn't realize

1:11:23

like Netflix. They. Just haven't played

1:11:25

to do the stuff of their get out

1:15:34

on an even when I the are in

1:15:37

high school. Within that was raincoats. I was

1:15:39

In. Strength in human performance.

1:15:57

Ah, I'm. So.

1:16:00

The. I'm and those kind of versions of

1:16:02

sports track in college and a little bit

1:16:04

as opposed collegiate. A man with started my

1:16:06

company straight at a college back in two

1:16:08

thousand nine. Ah, Gonna get

1:16:10

to the point where was like I can to

1:16:13

track anymore. Cause. Alzheimer's

1:16:15

work and seventy five hours a week

1:16:17

run in our first gym. So.

1:16:20

As i but I'm already really strong

1:16:22

so it's just drop. The. Throwing

1:16:24

the heavy ball part of the training and.

1:16:27

Just. Keep going with the lived inside of it than. Their.

1:16:30

We are. What? Does it feel like

1:16:32

the house? Five hundred and sixty plus pounds.

1:16:34

Though. Up off your chest and a bench. Yeah

1:16:37

I get by and question that our a

1:16:39

lot with the or how does that and

1:16:42

Maxwell i think everyone's max gonna feel the

1:16:44

same goes out on like I was doing

1:16:46

three fifteen and then one day as a

1:16:48

cap on five sixty let's give our lives

1:16:51

matter how you know There was a video

1:16:53

as all over the weekend where a guy

1:16:55

had given he thought he told the he

1:16:57

bought the meet. A number and

1:16:59

pounds, but exact same kilos. Summer and

1:17:02

ten kilos like four hundred and sixty

1:17:04

two pounds. And said to earn ten pounds

1:17:06

and that that the unwrapped and they try

1:17:08

to do it. It went really bad form

1:17:10

as a outside of examples like that. I.

1:17:13

Think it's. L The Feals

1:17:15

by the same. As your guys

1:17:17

as Max appeal to you like shit, this

1:17:20

is hard. Ah, There's just

1:17:22

a lot more. Now.

1:17:25

Effort probably before get into that top.

1:17:27

Oh shit, this is hard. Yeah

1:17:30

right, That's. Pretty. Much what I expected

1:17:32

the answer to be. but I mean imagine

1:17:34

there's this sort of this moment in my

1:17:36

story is saw and just in my own

1:17:38

fitness path is it's like a lot of

1:17:40

people. I was really scrawny as a kid.

1:17:42

I fucking hated it. I really really hated

1:17:44

it and I started fill out a little

1:17:47

bit like were went to school Vermont where

1:17:49

there was a really anybody tough so there's

1:17:51

no football team so it didn't really matter.

1:17:53

com. And. Then I had this

1:17:55

new filling out. Period. Ah of

1:17:57

when the steroid accusations happen, it's.

1:18:00

Fixed, but it was just basically I was. Like.

1:18:02

I'm Bev Had it. I'm going to see

1:18:04

what I can do with this and I'll

1:18:06

never forget that moment where I can only.

1:18:09

Get. To twenty five, like maybe a couple

1:18:11

times, you know, one eighty Five was my

1:18:13

top work outset. And.

1:18:15

That twenty six twenty seven. It just was the

1:18:17

weirdest thing. I asked a guy for spot and

1:18:19

she twenty five he said how many you in

1:18:22

a yeah I was like audible couple see hotels

1:18:24

and then I got eleven and he looked at

1:18:26

me like what are you an athlete I was

1:18:28

doing it to kind of mess with him so

1:18:30

I try to tell a younger people like there

1:18:33

is some weird of once you get older strength

1:18:35

if you keep putting the time intuit that happens

1:18:37

I'm but when I look at somebody like you

1:18:39

that's that says com plus I. I.

1:18:42

Think it's it's like a lot of stuff at anybody

1:18:44

wants to do like. Okay well if you want to

1:18:46

do any these things you have to put the worked

1:18:48

in and I think people always reach out to you

1:18:50

for the quick fix part of it. And.

1:18:53

I. Imagine there's maybe some ways to jump.

1:18:55

Like the great thing when you get started.

1:18:57

the beginning is the improvements and how are

1:18:59

you start to feel it away as a

1:19:01

games right? right? Exactly. It's if the almost

1:19:04

miss it. I'd. Rather never go back

1:19:06

to that, but it's this awesome stage of

1:19:08

working out. That. You feel this? but.

1:19:11

I guess the most ask question for you Do

1:19:13

get it from beginners or do you get it

1:19:15

from people that have been going out for a

1:19:17

long time? Realism the Plateaued which I know I've

1:19:19

asked myself and my dad probably been in the

1:19:21

same face here for multiple years and it's more

1:19:24

about maintenance and it is about advancing. Yeah

1:19:26

and everyone always wants. A

1:19:29

quick fix, I think that's and anything

1:19:31

in life whether it's going strong quick

1:19:33

have gotten rich quick, it's gotten when

1:19:35

quick. Yeah, whatever, whatever that is.

1:19:38

And. There's a certain the

1:19:40

soldier that dibble attach I think to that

1:19:42

beginner gains phase. So it's like whatever that

1:19:44

first program they did was that the ah

1:19:46

they found in a muscle and fitness or

1:19:49

starting strength or whatever. It is no like

1:19:51

the Habitat my bench when up fifty pounds.

1:19:53

When I did that it's like yeah but

1:19:55

your bench went from one hundred and fifty

1:19:57

to two hundred pounds like those are the

1:19:59

easy. Sounds to get by with

1:20:01

much harder grounds for the other the

1:20:03

four hundred to four hundred and. Twenty

1:20:06

pounds. Those those fifteen or twenty pounds

1:20:08

or lot harder to come by than

1:20:10

those first first fifty. So get that

1:20:12

the all things adapt and and and

1:20:15

change with time that the out here

1:20:17

by going to have to do. More.

1:20:21

Like. As as pounds get harder to come

1:20:23

by, you're going out to do more

1:20:25

focused work for that and more authentic

1:20:27

clubber work to manage the fatigue. And

1:20:29

as the weights get really, really heavy

1:20:31

now you've I can't do as much

1:20:34

because. The. Know. When.

1:20:36

I was squatting. Three. Hundred

1:20:38

pounds and high school as Roger

1:20:40

that every day I want to

1:20:42

do I have the out this

1:20:44

the surging testosterone have a sixteen

1:20:46

year old boy but when that's

1:20:48

eight hundred pounds the how fast

1:20:50

for fifteen years later and eight

1:20:53

hundred pounds that's just so stimulating

1:20:55

and thirteen that that's can be

1:20:57

more like a once every other

1:20:59

week type of effort. Ah southern

1:21:01

trouble understanding. The. Changes that

1:21:03

karma. With. Age and

1:21:05

then the changes that com with

1:21:07

scan of just advancements. In

1:21:10

in the Sport and the Mm

1:21:12

Furious. Now for for really any

1:21:14

sporting demand. So. Let's get

1:21:16

to the emails year and. A

1:21:18

lot of Merv I think. pretty straightforward.

1:21:20

so ah I I could be fun.

1:21:22

okay or it so chatting these it

1:21:24

advances And until this morning, A

1:21:26

total of the last night, but you don't

1:21:29

look so. My props great. Some of it

1:21:31

isn't but if is gonna be pretty easy.

1:21:33

thirty five years old, Six one to fifteen

1:21:35

gym stats to twenty five times five Squat

1:21:37

Three fifteen times five conventional dead or or

1:21:39

five times five. I live by myself in

1:21:41

a home gym so I don't do one

1:21:43

rep. Max is really pushed a failure and

1:21:45

any my lists. Here's my question as I

1:21:47

get older as of worth it to continue

1:21:49

to dead listing. I'm not training for anything

1:21:51

specific. My main goal is to control my

1:21:54

bodyweight, maintain my strain. Delis have always been

1:21:56

my favorite strongest. Lift But I want to do

1:21:58

my best to avoid injuries, especially the my back. Every

1:22:00

certain notices more difficult takes longer to recover

1:22:02

from injuries as a get older hey yeah,

1:22:04

thanks for that. Revelation.

1:22:07

I don't want to suffer a long term are

1:22:09

serious injury just because I like a particular left.

1:22:11

Love the pod and job you guys have to

1:22:13

say or if so. What? Do you

1:22:15

do Older Dead Letter? Vs. So

1:22:18

let first say that. There's.

1:22:20

Nothing inherently dangerous injurious about

1:22:23

that lives or really any

1:22:25

other exercise as long as

1:22:27

they're loaded. appropriately.

1:22:30

And the rest now.

1:22:33

Strategically, Ah so that's

1:22:35

on one side. On the other side of that.

1:22:37

I myself had back surgery. The started. Twenty twenty

1:22:39

one. Eye and for any a

1:22:42

desk a micro to sector me surgery that

1:22:44

my. Surgeon. Described as the

1:22:46

most herniated discs he had ever performed surgery

1:22:48

on but I've had those are near distance

1:22:50

twenty thirteen and done all the heaviest and

1:22:53

best are looking of my life. I in

1:22:55

between and sense that surgery am still swatted

1:22:57

over seven hundred and stuff. So the question

1:22:59

of like is it worth it for you

1:23:02

to do it if you enjoy it. Who

1:23:04

am I to say the Daedalus aren't worth

1:23:06

it for you to do. With.

1:23:09

That in mind. In.

1:23:11

In gone back to the idea by

1:23:14

managing and strategically progressing it. Is

1:23:17

doing a heavy dead lift every single week?

1:23:19

Gonna be worth it to you build your

1:23:22

said another desk for eight hours a day.

1:23:24

Data back soon you'll stuff so can you

1:23:26

do what you enjoy that the thing but

1:23:29

do it in a smarter. Way.

1:23:31

Yeah definitely. and that might just be kind

1:23:33

of like a rotation week to week to

1:23:35

week. Or do you do commercial the bus

1:23:37

from the floor when we'd you elevate the

1:23:39

bar on the blocks? ah the next week

1:23:42

so it's a shorter range of motion. He

1:23:44

do trap are the the third week and

1:23:46

we can achieve that rotation. Going to suffer

1:23:48

some variety. Were. A lot

1:23:50

of people struggle with back pain in

1:23:52

regards to have you squat and of

1:23:54

of since i is that they get

1:23:56

so locked in. To.

1:23:59

Build. What do you and and

1:24:01

strength Chinese restaurants? are you so

1:24:03

much about? not moving like bracing

1:24:05

years your trunk and torso and

1:24:07

not live in a turn or

1:24:10

twister or extend or or flex

1:24:12

that. He will lose

1:24:14

their capacity for the other movements and like

1:24:16

your spine is the on multiple series of

1:24:18

joints, engine and and twisted move and all

1:24:21

these great in athletic ways but when all

1:24:23

you do is put weight on your back

1:24:25

or in her hands and and your knees

1:24:27

and stand up and the out a way

1:24:30

that for weight down and then you and

1:24:32

you lose that ability to flex and ben

1:24:34

and controllers fine and and something else in

1:24:36

your life requires you to do it and

1:24:39

you've lost the ability to do it That's

1:24:41

where stuff way starts to hurt so. I.

1:24:44

Think for a guy like are

1:24:46

man you're just stand mindful that

1:24:48

the or with your accessory works

1:24:50

do some. Some. Sports was

1:24:52

some single Xf, some staggered

1:24:54

stance Rtl add some rotation

1:24:56

to your Trump's don't be afraid

1:24:59

of flexing your spine like

1:25:01

bending it this way under

1:25:03

control and been a were own

1:25:05

that control because. Having

1:25:08

the own what are you douglas do They

1:25:10

make your back strong, They don't make your

1:25:12

back week. Why? Would be

1:25:15

stronger lead to been. Injured

1:25:17

now interceptor to do at the right

1:25:19

way and understands as as you get

1:25:22

older as you get stronger. The.

1:25:24

Hell, it's okay to have a

1:25:26

lighter weeks. I. You're. Not

1:25:29

competing. In Peril of doom. So it's

1:25:31

like. If it, if you don't wanna

1:25:33

do conventional douglas this week. Yonhap

1:25:35

due to the don't have a meat or whatever and.

1:25:37

The. Out six weeks her mouth so

1:25:40

some variety in there is totally

1:25:42

fine and and making adjustments for

1:25:44

that day that so allow you

1:25:46

to work towards your longer term

1:25:48

bigger. Goal. If that's

1:25:50

a number of us are still on strong and

1:25:52

join what you're doing with trainings than others. You

1:25:55

we all get to go. I'd. Also, add to

1:25:57

its on the bench stuff for or the our

1:25:59

by yourself. Like there's ways if you want to

1:26:01

spend the money on the equipment where you know

1:26:04

it's a horrifying feeling when you're like i'm not

1:26:06

going to get this off of me, but then

1:26:08

it lands on the pins and electorate. Cool on.

1:26:10

Not at Ah, which I certainly. Learned.

1:26:12

Firsthand throw covert okay and neck in

1:26:14

a lot of those thing stopping on

1:26:17

the referee like. You. Push harder

1:26:19

than like. I think I'm I

1:26:21

met Mr. Next one has become more

1:26:23

experience in the sky is now with

1:26:25

do enough where he probably knows I'm

1:26:27

probably going miss the next when we

1:26:30

just stop there and and now they

1:26:32

didn't Another said after. Right?

1:26:34

But the one thing about the bed solo

1:26:36

is when you know you have the safety

1:26:38

pins you'll you'll push yourself. A.

1:26:41

Little bit more and then you'll go like

1:26:43

hey, if I had a spotter, I probably

1:26:45

would have let this go. Fight.

1:26:48

I. Even. Though I know the pins

1:26:50

are in place, I still want to try to get this

1:26:52

Anna Lee Says way it feels for me. I think there

1:26:54

were certain moments of be darned code where I was pushing

1:26:56

even further. I thought just because it was like are a.

1:26:59

You. Would probably let the guy take this off you and

1:27:01

quit. Know you can't quit. And it

1:27:03

was all of my best carl to training

1:27:05

by myself as be me in the power

1:27:07

rack. And nine hundred pounds

1:27:09

or back and five hundred mans and was like.

1:27:13

Now. Jesus on the Spot. I.

1:27:16

Like that have diverted for

1:27:18

1:27:42

June I'm thinking about switching to Sumo

1:27:44

dead lift. I don't have any issues

1:27:46

of pulling conventional but have seen tell

1:27:48

his videos a smaller lifters pulling massive

1:27:50

amounts were your thoughts on Sumo Verse

1:27:52

conventional dead lift? How long you need

1:27:54

to train? Ticket for Fishnet It Grateful

1:27:56

for any insights resources you can recommend.

1:27:58

Ah thanks. This is

1:28:00

a dozen This is my I

1:28:03

hear I have lots of resources

1:28:05

to the i can recommend spot.

1:28:07

First off for the manpower Lifters

1:28:09

watching was mean I assume whatever

1:28:12

does not shooting if. You.

1:28:14

Could if ever on to do more

1:28:16

sumo than every single comparable to redeem

1:28:18

Arsenal because it's within the rules. Now.

1:28:21

That's a conventional that is way cooler. Ah,

1:28:24

I'm an encounter. Give Them is

1:28:26

like commercial that lived. The.

1:28:29

Us having good technique help. Seven good

1:28:31

technique helps in whatever you're doing, but

1:28:33

you could just be strong as shit

1:28:35

and now have been over and grabbed

1:28:37

the bar and. Send. Up

1:28:39

with it in a conventional that lifts and we're

1:28:42

talking the I with the feet close together. Hiroshima

1:28:44

with the been out. Why in the hands inside?

1:28:46

Our for the uninitiated. And.

1:28:48

But Sumo Dead lifts you to be

1:28:51

big and strong. And trying

1:28:53

to assume that left in the Caribbean

1:28:55

a funky position and suck at it

1:28:57

and you do way worse than you

1:28:59

do too much are so similar, like

1:29:02

a much finer technical line served as

1:29:04

or a toe. and for the people

1:29:06

who are great at that technique, ah

1:29:08

they're able to get soon, really maximize

1:29:11

their ability with it and then as

1:29:13

you get into piloting competition ah the

1:29:15

others, bars that bend more and bars

1:29:17

in a more stuff. And that's a

1:29:20

dumb part about powerlift in is that

1:29:22

there's. All these different divisions,

1:29:24

different equipment, and and it's

1:29:26

so it's buds. So.

1:29:29

the terrorism of those guys compete members I

1:29:31

looked at his open open parallel team has

1:29:33

the the flexi or that bar so he

1:29:36

other is probably more advantage to be had

1:29:38

their for sumo. Is

1:29:41

Sumo rates for you is going to

1:29:43

have a lot to do with your

1:29:45

hip mobility. Odds are able to kind

1:29:47

of the i opened your knees enough

1:29:49

and getting a good more vertical torso

1:29:51

position where you're not just doing like

1:29:53

a wide legged conventional that boasts a

1:29:55

you're actually doing a real sumo Double

1:29:58

edged swords developing that goes and. Get

1:30:00

an idea can hold true for. A.

1:30:02

lot of different listed all been your technique and

1:30:05

as well as like a injury we have to

1:30:07

the situations. Are what

1:30:09

I'd suggest for our guy here as

1:30:11

yeah, Maybe start with the bar elevated

1:30:13

on six inch blocks. I'll

1:30:15

see you know that you will the get a

1:30:17

good position there does not as demanding on the

1:30:19

him mobility a do that for a week or

1:30:21

two and as you developed a mobility there the

1:30:23

name of it and a five and box and

1:30:25

four and xbox and three two one and then

1:30:27

the all over the course of every six weeks

1:30:29

your pool and from the floor. And

1:30:32

you can add progressive progressed that ability

1:30:34

to your hips. So it's not just

1:30:37

part of this first day, undiscovered, jammed.

1:30:39

my stepson is weird position and am

1:30:41

I have places all fucked up and

1:30:44

and you feel ah. The. Out

1:30:46

narrow squats, suffering because of the

1:30:48

hip pain from assume what others

1:30:50

said, Ray and that progressions be

1:30:52

a good way to do it.

1:30:54

Whether are also on similar conventional

1:30:56

been right or wrong for you,

1:30:58

you're more long legged, short torso,

1:31:00

relatively. Probably. Better dimensional

1:31:02

that after little bit. More.

1:31:04

Eat and torso to leg. Ratio.

1:31:07

Or short legs and a relatively long

1:31:09

torso. Sumo probably going to be better

1:31:11

for you. I forgot

1:31:13

our during our trains as as

1:31:15

you tube channel sumo that both

1:31:17

pillars bob like a fool. By.

1:31:20

Parker Technique Series of How To Do

1:31:22

It. Okay, I promise

1:31:25

other us are not about and lifting

1:31:27

so the next email hear a lot

1:31:29

of people with this one Hope for

1:31:31

a skinny fat dad. Forty one Six

1:31:33

One One seventy. Know.

1:31:35

Lifting stats see the email Still play

1:31:38

hoops once a week. model that for

1:31:40

Houston Rockets air at such he's not

1:31:42

the Uk version. Ah he is

1:31:44

before. So. Not sure

1:31:47

the right forum as I may not

1:31:49

count as poking. But. I'm the

1:31:51

dreaded skinny fat, my natural. Frame.

1:31:53

Is slender, skinny wrists legs. It have been fairly

1:31:55

described as bird like I am married for it

1:31:58

and father of two with other. Oh,

1:32:00

accoutrements that brings limited time for working out.

1:32:02

Died. That leaves a lot to be desired

1:32:04

because of all the crap for we have

1:32:07

in the house. they can't resist. Have plenty

1:32:09

of weekend fears wine with Dad's family's we

1:32:11

get the kids together I plenty of experience

1:32:13

lifting plate resource in high school. Continue to

1:32:15

get in on a lot of exercise to

1:32:17

this day. As years have gone on, the

1:32:20

balance been shifted in my opinion too heavily

1:32:22

towards cardio and not enough lifting. So my

1:32:24

question is, what are the most impactful, efficient

1:32:26

exercises circus or teens I can incorporate The

1:32:28

realistically add some mass at. My age. With

1:32:31

the caviar that proper form is paramount.

1:32:33

Like focus on lifting heavy low reps

1:32:35

or just go full body three times

1:32:37

ten sets with midway low way for

1:32:39

now until fail. I started a job

1:32:42

at a few weeks rob access to a proper gym

1:32:44

again. I think some heavy lifting will

1:32:46

be the actual key to me losing my paunchy.

1:32:48

Got the the have been able to run by

1:32:50

got the last few years. Or so

1:32:52

Skinny fat guy who had some background years

1:32:54

without the start of an hour. Yeah,

1:32:57

so I think he's on

1:32:59

the right track to begin

1:33:01

on. But one big understand.

1:33:03

Here is whether it's run by

1:33:06

the weather's what do the diet's

1:33:08

gonna be what is by far

1:33:10

the a control and of your

1:33:12

physique so outrun the. Not.

1:33:14

Raining as of is now. I'm not bringing

1:33:16

those parts of my life any. There was

1:33:19

a week and beers and all that stuff

1:33:21

but l make amends. the vodka soda choice

1:33:23

and here and there and and some. They'll.

1:33:26

Always trying to be as good as

1:33:29

again during the week. with it now.

1:33:31

so hard liquor is the key is

1:33:33

where seconds or minutes probably better. A

1:33:36

better option. The skull largely ah of.

1:33:39

So. then from the lifting and side

1:33:41

of of things via. Training.

1:33:44

Feel. Hard weight training somewhere in

1:33:46

the three to twelve to fifteen

1:33:48

rep range sense that like I'm

1:33:51

almost failing, I could only do

1:33:53

two or three more reps of

1:33:55

this way that is going to

1:33:57

give a lot more stimulus and.

1:34:00

Like. Hormonal response not as good stuff. It's going

1:34:02

out to build muscle. So.

1:34:06

Whether you need to be lifting heavy

1:34:08

or. The. Oh, for low

1:34:10

reps or lighter weight for higher

1:34:12

reps doesn't really matter as long

1:34:15

as you're training hard but closer

1:34:17

to failure on I would suggest

1:34:19

doing both of those. So doing

1:34:21

some heavier works are in our

1:34:23

probably in the four to six

1:34:26

forty eight rep range the almost

1:34:28

the time there were you doing

1:34:30

for but you gigantic at it

1:34:32

and I can learn five. I'm.
