3:06open up your bosom what do you open your weather bosom and what happens when you open up that bosom i know we bust on each other all the time and and give it up oh what who's each other apparently he has his own got a side piece for that wait yeah what else do you want a side piece do i do like a facial i wonder what that sounds like wow my mind just got completely blown but you know just busted it sounds like it wasn't just your mind and here he is the one and only we love him Dave Rothenberg wow that was good very well done by you i'm proud that was it that was a hell of an open walked into the you and ramu which is i i couldn't even talk to ramen we're focused he was dialed in but i did bring him a a buttery soft roll today it was the peasants breakfast the peasants breakfast and so in the i've been here of five thirty nine i walked in which is a good time right i brought ramen a buttery soft roll and i angered rj all within a twenty one minute stretch how could you possibly get rj upset i wasn't intending to

4:09well what happened well so he comes in and he sits with me and we're going over you know the game plan and show that's what sounds like the giant some i'd be interested in um in Fred Warner and he like he lost color in his face and he became ash in and he was like there's a better chance that i land on the moon then you get Fred Warner i was like why you getting anger me goes you need new sources i said he goes what would you trade for Fred Warner i said i don't like cave on tibito and something unless that's something is a stake in the team you're not getting Fred Warner i got to tell you i i i share rj sentiment here as all the records and then he and then he got angry because i said you know i'm not not sure i want Fred Warner and i don't i don't need a guy on the other side is coming off catastrophic injury i think at this point i took my glasses off who who is making a fortune of money so i don't know that i necessarily want Fred Warner he was you'd have to liquidate the team to get Fred Warner i didn't but little like i wasn't trying to inside him little that i realized that he would have such anger so i feel like

5:12i was planned so there's one thing that i would change though and you're retelling which was very good almost nearly spot on yeah i believe you let off and i think you did this intentionally because what you just said i think is the truth and what you said to me was more to get me riled up you said i hear we're knocking on the door my kid Fred Warner is that right and you immediately caught my attention because i stopped what i was doing and every other quote that followed yes i don't think i use the phrase knocking on the door maybe not but you you phrased it somehow of i think they might get some water i was just reading an article to the giants are interested in trading for any any of the three admins i forget what the second one was and and Warner what they could they could be interested and i think i think i think what do you show giggly about because this was this is a little brand and not you situation where you just throw in a name out there forever i spoke to someone about it yesterday and they said it was brought up to me i didn't bring it up and then i was reading something about it before i'm sure they would be interested and i actually think the diners would pick up the phone i think anyone could be available for the

6:14right price but the problem was where you got all those quotes which are spot on do you think that cave on plus any other one thing and last i've maintained its equity of the team would get that done is blasphemous blasphemous okay see yeah what was the fifth overall pick no no no can't again first of all there's no way i'm giving the fifth of cave on the fifth of rock red one zero zero chance go ahead give it a shot no no no no chance none that thanks for that but but absolutely not all right so here's the thing you hang on to Fred Warner and when we play Fred Warner and your Niners and we kick your ass you're going to write after you're way too confident and it's right now i'm so confident you see the giant they're interested in McDuffie they're getting involved but they see but they see what happens they they get we're hanging banners because they finish second in the truck and just know what it shows it shows they're taking it there pop it it on the table giant's hypothetically traded for McDuffie and and moves are going to happen

7:16you're a Jordan yesterday and i said the Jordan off the air is there a chance it's more than one big move Jordan oh yeah so you guys sit there and you're a little ivory tower and take your little little shots at the giant that's fine you can do it now do it now so let's see what's happening right we all see this i'm actually worried about you playing his day yeah we all see it what's happening now we all see it happening okay explain what's happening this i mean this new you it's becoming too much with it john harbott is creating a monster we are a month in a month i think that i think the new you is dangerous dangerous to who everyone really everybody what all right giant fans take their cues from you and what's gonna happen when there's actually like football being played in you win some games oh craziness it's gonna be madness great craziness the forget games we're not even through three hc at all they just finished second in the trade for it's trying McDuffie and you understand what happened here we're celebrating do you understand

8:17what okay it's like you've wandered the desert for years with no beverage at all and you're parched and you walk up and he's a lake look at all this water no you had the lake is winning games you you just you just got like the wrong directions to a lake but you heard there could be a lake and you know you're excited no you just found out that could be a lake miles away you finished second in the race to the lake right you know let's let's talk about the next who's that and then you get to the lake and you get to the lake first those other guys we're gonna play the game where we blame officials today what are we gonna do today um i don't think we need to blame the officials and they didn't help they didn't help they did not help son i i saw so much let clearly the NBA wants the thunder to win why would the NBA want Oklahoma City to win games over New York and the next why why i don't know it's just that's how people feel i mean that you're not literally watch games and think that they're fixed right so it's a whatever you want to tell yourself but i mean i will say that when sga has two fouls that's

9:19that's that's a third foul what are we doing right that's but that's why you get to that it's like well it's it's sga right so we get it he's the you know raining and it doesn't matter though it's clearly a third foul i know well that's people that's people's point like how's that not a foul it's clearly a foul clearly a foul right so like that's why people start drawing conclusions but yeah i'm with you i mean to battle back from down 15 and and put yourself a position in the end where you have a big big like a nice play from you know nice out of bounds play she only gets a good look in the left corner and then you get another offensive rebound and OG has a shot to tie it up but it wasn't enough what are you gonna do which is a shame but again not gonna go crazy about it i mean that's probably the best team in the NBA and chase phenomenal and home grid is quietly become a real weapon and a real problem and i saw a lot of last night well the nicks didn't have Mitchell Robinson uh okay well they didn't have Jamal Williams so you want to play that game let's uh i think i don't know the more i watch the more i just feel

10:20really convinced that the nicks are a very good basketball team who are in that second tier of good teams in the NBA yeah i don't know if i want to call it the second are are are are they are they destroyed and or Oklahoma City well i mean how many teams are Oklahoma City i know i know Oklahoma City has a tough time against the spurs i understand that but still Oklahoma City won a championship last year okay so if you're if you're making tears wouldn't you put Oklahoma City in that first tier yeah right of course but i mean does Detroit belong in that tier yet after not like you've seen them in one playoff series uh no problem no they definitely don't deserve deserve to be in that tier yet but i still think they're in a higher tier than the nicks right but if we want to play this game and i'm with you i'm not saying i'm just gonna take the other side of this just for the purposes of a conversation sure like so because Oklahoma City struggles against the spurs does that mean the spurs are better than Oklahoma City no right i hate that Alex does that thing yeah but so i mean i mean do we want to

11:20do we want to play that game with Detroit and no but i think when it comes to Detroit and the next Detroit watch it is a better team right right now right but how much of this two is is just the again because we've we've lived this life where we were Detroit like where we we were the team that that emphasized the 82 we were the team that would have you know we would be able to get ourselves off for certain that just for every game but there were you know that's it was in our DNA that's not who this team is so is that just the case where like Detroit has made the decision after what i've been here but it's hard to have seen that so far in this regular season and and see what they didn't in last year's postseason and think that Detroit is not at a different level than the nicks are and and maybe it's just because the matchup is so bad like i look at that matchup and it it upsets me like the way they play the way they play defense the way they play physically it's just i just think it's i the same way i think the nicks are a bad matchup for Cleveland i think the nicks are are if you're Detroit you love the matchup against the nicks right i think sometimes

12:23because i don't like to play that game all the time either where it's like oh you you take what you saw in the regular season and you just like you'll just say hey this is you know this team can't beat this team because of what you saw in the regular season i don't think that's always the case but i do think there are instances when you watch a team play a certain team during the regular season and like you just said you watch the matchups and you're like it's not going to matter it could be regular season it could be posted like this matchup just isn't good for us it's like when you know the Rangers are playing the Panthers it's a bad matchup with the regular season it's a bad matchup and the pole it's just a bad matchup right like that team that team can take advantage of what you don't do well right i mean that's it because we would talk about those same like we would talk about certain things that we thought going into the playoffs that would hold the Rangers back right not be able to create enough five on five and it's like okay hey you know this is the regular season they'll figure out in the playoffs that power play will be going and then you play a team like the Panthers it for the most part it did to get to the Panthers where it's like none of that stuff really matters because the Panthers are better they're more physical

13:23they got a great goalie like so like they just have been eight like they've been able to exploit all those things because they're just right now a better team i don't think we all want to believe that yet because i don't think i don't think we've seen enough of Detroit in the playoffs yet well you you haven't seen a ton i i haven't even want to play a series so i think right so they still have something to prove as opposed to okay see who's already proved it listen those teams are not on equal footing i understand but i just think they're they're at the way they play they're both a really rough matchup for the next Oklahoma city for different reasons i think outside of maybe San Antonio they're a really rough matchup for everyone like that's that's a that's a brutal team to have to think about going up against when they're healthy right i mean again you go back to what they did last season what they're capable of doing they're not even fully healthy yet how good that defense can be how physical that defense can be i mean look at the mix in the first half i mean it a gentleman one for eight OG two for nine Josh two for eight you know it drives me into the talent they talented mr. shoddy only took four it's it's that's the coach on i'm telling you right now i'm going to so carl and then he towns played so well last night he

14:27was great right he was great he took eight shots are you i mean are you kidding me to play that well to have 17 rebounds to have nine offensive rebounds and to take eight shots is criminal right i don't get it so again because it doesn't make any semblance of sense yeah so i'm sure we'll spend most of today on all the shows talking about who do you blame for because this is not it but this is not one of those losses that it's like you come on the radio and you're like all upset no whatever it's what i don't think any of it was unexpected but i think when you lose you do start to get a little bit nitpicky i think that's just natural that's why winning is so important because when you win you'll overlook a lot of the no some of the mistakes and some of the things that you would normally talk about when you lose but it's like how in the midst of your team shooting as poorly as they're shooting especially your best player yeah person was not good last night right but you saw it is i mean is that because he wasn't good or is that because of what okay he has the ability to do to him maybe a combination of the both yeah that combination of

15:29both yes right like but isn't in that moment like as a good head coach like okay like clearly right now we're struggling shooting the basketball our you know our best guy is not is not off to a great start i got cat let's feature cat more as opposed to getting four shots i think it's a comment i think it's it's it's it's the coach and i think it's cat i mean when you're going it doesn't make sense for you because you're a goalie but like when you're going you want to take over don't you when you when you're you're in that one okay yes you do but i think that i think the way that this offense is supposed to function is is more ball kind of like pace and flow and less about you know setting a plate i understand what you're saying like demand the ball but like it's also on me as the coach if i'm coach not i think it's on both of them and i know hockey's not baseball excuse me hockey's not basketball but it's like i notice someone's going like guess who's going out next shift i agree i i think i think it's on the coach i think i think you can actually blame some of the other players because you got to get him more involved and i think i think i think

16:30this blame that goes on him too when when you have it going on you need to to be the alpha you need to be aggressive you need to take the ball and to get out of my way i got this it was seven of eight from the floor he was dominant on the offensive glass and you got eight shots from a superstar or a really really good player at a minimum it's completely inexcusable right well that's the thing that frustrates everybody i know you me everybody even Ray said you know as we're talking about before the show where we're doing the open it's like i mean like there's plenty go around but you'd also see like a certain point like i think he's well within his right especially i mean this isn't year one this isn't like i'm trying to get me know i'm trying to get my bearings with the guys where do i fit i don't want to piss anyone off because i don't want to be demanding the basketball it's like no no you're in year two the expectations are through the roof your i mean you're one B to jalen brunson's one A when one A is struggling like that's great okay right i mean do you did OG shoot well last night no did hard shoot well last night no did british shoot well last night

17:32huh no did brunson shoot well last night no he's five so of all the guys the one of them shot well from the floor last night and he took eight shots right make it make sense it that makes sense it doesn't make sense because i mean i just don't i i don't see in you know in other situations where you have a no a a duo like that where your second best player takes a back seat all the time than the other guys like it's like i mean like when you watch Denver play right i mean it's and i know it's it's different because it's joke it's the best player in basketball but it's also like it's jamal marina it's yoke it's right it's two man game like each of them like we're both going i mean i mean now yoke is a different level but are there games for the most part that you watch like i felt underwhelmed by yoke it's tonight well no but it's like in it's hard to make that example just because yoke is the big you know it's probably easier for jamal it's no not probably it's easier for jamal maria's the second guy to get going because he's got the ball in his hand all the time like he can dictate when he wants to get himself going as opposed to cat who's kind of the mercy of

22:52you're an accomplice you're you're the Bonnie to Clyde is what you are I'm gonna share something with you now I shouldn't because you know you don't treat me nice okay you treat me like garbage actually all right I look out for us as a teammate go ahead I'm listening I just sent it to you that's not the full like it that's not the full visual of I've gotten nothing I just sent it to the chat I've received something there you go how do you see it you had jerseys made for us okay see okay on the left side there right under rule 76 that's a gold medal yet is from our last championship what would you like the gold medal to say Dave Rothenberg lives here no it can't say Dave Rothenberg lives here why not like I'm a gold medalist I have a gold medal I know but that's the gold medal you wanted to say career killers what do you want to say on it I would run circles around turtle it went if and when he joins the show think about it because you are under attack by turtle again right you anti well you do he it's weird though like like a clear like I feel like

23:56I'm kind of in his head no what did I tell you though because it keeps going back to the same thing it wasn't if you simply said it's clear to me Detroit is better than the next it's the words you used that got him got him agitated because the next the next the next aren't in the same class is Detroit right so last what you tell me are they say no I don't like the class conversation though okay it says tough loss for the next but the class take as officially collapse okay and you know what what what what just fine he's upset with that fine and how about how he loves yeah how he ends this now I'll check back in during the playoffs but I love where this team is at right now you you love where this team is at right now love is strong just yeah yeah love is very very strong you love you love the fact that you're a game ahead of Cleveland and could be sitting in the fourth spot I don't think he meant that part of it I think he's like the way that they're playing I think like this version of cat okay I mean

24:58I I like this team I think it's a good thing I don't I don't love where this team is at right now do you am I missing something I understand what he's saying I get it as far as how they're playing the defense is picked up I mean this version of cat is the version that we'll need I mean again some of the falls and I couldn't you know I understand why he gets aggravated I don't think I would I don't think I would complain the way he complains because at some point I would say to myself this is actually working to like this is not to my benefit anymore or at all this is actually become a negative now because he does get the crap kicked out of him and they do call him for a ton of tic-tac follows but like would it the way he was playing last night would it have been nice to have in the last three minutes of the game last night yes as opposed to following out of course and he's always he's always going to be the whipping boy when it comes to when things don't go right or it's a little off for the next because even last night he was awesome you don't have a negative thing to say about his game outside of the foul trouble except that he didn't shoot the

26:00one more right so again I mean we don't know whose fault that is that could be some of his fault could be some of Jalen's fault and by the way I'm gonna be honest with you right now Jerry Farrah who I really like come on the show if you want to just continue to go at me stop stop attacking me in the Twitter sphere come on the show and and let's go back and forth like man I'd love that I'd like to hear that back and forth I mean I'm the here's the thing I'm not even responding tie falls for it because Ty can help himself Ty loves the engagement Ty loves the engagement Ty goes back every time after the first time this I think this is not the third or fourth time he's come after me the only time I went back and forth with him was the first time I'm not doing it anymore no that's fine listen I mean someone's gonna be right someone's gonna be wrong I and you know what the weird thing is I want to be wrong I hope to be wrong I want to be in the NBA finals you want to be in the NBA of course right but you are a but I'm honest you are a truth teller some people said you were a casual but that's fine I mean that's the first time we've heard that

27:01you know what you had to throw that in there huh what no I see how you are I'm just what do you want me to do now I'm gonna be a liar you want to be in the day who says I'm a casual name names name names uh John Acevito Acevito who the hell is John Acevito I don't know he's got a blue check I don't know oh it's somebody on a Twitter toffee huh oh yeah it's on the it's on the it's on the the chain because then tie response and then Jerry responds to tie and then you know right and the tie tie gets down in dirty in the hole yeah we know how it works yeah we've we've we've danced the stance before it's fine by the way you see what I've done what have you done how many phone lines are open ha zero yeah that's right are you I mean listen did you need it at six twenty nine do you need your ego stroke it oh you are a gold mine um you're the best you really are thank you you're welcome thank you let's go to Atlanta and let's bring in Jay and let's say good morning hi Jay how are you welcome to DNR I'm a right see I don't think I'm a pessimist I think

28:10I'm a realist and I think that the real nature of my analysis and forward thinking you look at as pessimism but I don't think I'm pessimistic I think you're probably borderline just like the next up probably closer to be in a tier one team I think you're a tweeter like the next one but I still love you to bet I love listening um I think I think there's an emotional component a component that plays out in a regular season that I don't think we look at amongst these teams if when we play home grant every single game we follow the FMEB every of those guys go at it they just dislike each other and he just so much he he brings it every time he plays okay see because of over I think Cleveland has to get over a mental um last one it comes to playing in this and having a lot of not having success against them which is why I'm really worried about Detroit because James Harvard brings a component first of all as a player but he also hasn't lived through some of those challenges that Cleveland has had and Detroit just has a bonafick with us much like

29:11when he has a bonafick well I think a lot of those things go away in the playoffs because reality is when you got to play a team seven games and I think the next still do have an advantage against Detroit I really do you think Jay you believe the next have an advantage over Detroit in the poses well no once look listen what I said I'm talking about the mental component of beating them last year I think it has spurned and it has made Detroit a much tougher team when they face them but again I think in a seven game series I would still give a slight edge to the mix because of that now that does not mean that it'll be an easy series I think it'll go seven and I won't be surprised if we do lose but I think the mental aspect of some of the back stories and what these guys have to do with the know they get over a mental home I think that's a component that I think is pretty legitimate when we will go at home when every single game which is why you see what you see when they play the spurs there's just a lot of things that aren't just actions that know when they

30:13have to go to the world okay here's the thing though and I understand what you're saying and I get it and it feels like it feels like tips we were kind of one of one of those teams where like we could take advantage of teams because we I mean we went into every game regular season or not with a sense of urgency and and you know grit and toughness that you know other teams weren't necessarily willing to match during the regular season because again those teams were more concerned about getting to the postseason I don't know if I would use Wembee going after Chet as the reason why all of a sudden now when you get into a series with Detroit and in the mix that the next you'll have this mental edge because they won last season yeah I don't listen there are certain matchups that are just not good right and home grin against Wembee is not good for okay see and right now I think the nicks against the Detroit is just it's not a good matchup for the next right I just I mean it just like the level of toughness that Detroit plays with is it's just more they're just a tougher team than the nicks are just personnel wise they're

31:15just a tougher team right right like so you can try to play tough but again you know that Detroit's also going to ramp it up in the postseason so I mean can you get yourself to that level hopefully for us I would say if you're going to point the one thing with Detroit that that we're all hoping is going to be a problem in the in the postseason when you match up in a series and it's not just one single game is who's the who's the second scoring option for them like who steps up for them if we find like I mean Cade's going to get his because he's that good but who's the other guy it remains unknown so they still have stuff to prove I'm with you and that's why I said because then there's this whole conversation being had about when you want to see Detroit is it okay I mean which would be okay finishing fourth because now you see Detroit in the second round and maybe the inexperience shows up I actually think that you're going to see more like I think the inexperience and the nerves show up more in the in the eastern conference finals than they would in the second round okay well I'll tell you what they scare me the most of any team so I would prefer whether it's an experienced thing or not or or the nerves are not I prefer to push them as far down the road as humanly possible and whoever they play in round one in round two hopefully

32:19it's not the next I'll be rooting for desperately I don't think anyone would be upset if someone else no let someone else knock them off yeah I mean I wouldn't be I wouldn't be crying about it no you know you know what does not make me weep as well what does not make you weep as well doesn't make me weep in fact I I enjoy it my reads you do love my read I love them I appreciate that but with the love I feel for the reads I do think it puts a tad of pressure on you to to knock it out of the park it does I think I'm ready for that pressure you're up for the moment I feel like I've been able to rise to the challenge all right let's see what you got all right let's try it here all right college basketball it's nonstop you got big games tight spreads momentum swings every single night and now fandom is giving you a way to turn that energy into even bigger wins you got a college basketball parlay profit boost and here's how it works you build any college hoops parlay you like you got the early tip the rivalry game the ranked match up the late night west goes shoot out you can mix spreads totals props whatever feature read of the slate then just apply your profit boost and

37:25thing with rj and i think what really set them off is i wouldn't want them anyway no i don't think that's what set them off at all i think that's what set them off no no i don't know he was already set off no rj that was what that was like the what what's the opposite of the piece their resistance that that's what you put on the that right on top of he's great why why would i and for you and make it make sense but for me why would i want a 29 year old coming off a major injury you should want him to make who makes who makes a bought load of money and you think i'm going to trade you the fifth pick there's no chance i'm not saying you should trade the fifth pick but your rebuttal to that was oh if i just get sunny styles who if everything goes right would turn into Fred Warner right at at a minuscule amount of the salary and at a minuscule amount of the h and it unguaranteed results yes you you don't know how it's got you you keep him i'm fine with that i will you keep him and then when we play you will beat you and we'll dance on you just a rubber who's who's this is a one-sided

38:30street that's fine we've held a bolt it's very easy for me to do this in march okay what happens in October november i don't i don't know so we were talking to Jordan yesterday he jordan hung around for a while yesterday and then he left and then he came back with with treats he went over to the building he offered to come back with even more treats what kind of treats did he bring he offered croissants bagels muffins yeah muffins you name it but in talking to him after he brought up a point i think he brought it up to you as you were boy rick you should have seen it what did i do no nothing but during commercial breaks i'd go in there he is shaking him down there's not one wasted second no of time of jordan being here on on the air off the air well you know like the good coaches for practice it's like okay two forty one we do this two forty five we hit this sixty seconds left two fifty we hit that that's what it's like with jordan i want to pick every ounce of information i can get off of him during the time he's here but he brought up the point and i'm curious what you think about john harbaugh having all this power for the first time like he had a lot of same Baltimore but he was surrounded by a good nucleus and jordan said

39:33you know we're gonna find out a lot about john because he has a lot of swing now does that concern you in any way he's kind of doing stuff for the first time in terms of like final stamp of approval there's really not a lot of people he has to pass stuff by me yeah oh you're the giants fan aren't you like why are you concerned i thought you're talking i thought you're talking no i don't think i'm gonna go my coach staying awake i mean you have other issues it does not concern me i'm fully bought in and then i've read an article a couple a couple of weeks ago that that's like he was banging the drum for pukin a koa and they wouldn't you know draft him no i have no concerns about harbaugh maybe that'll change but right now no concerns by the way Fred Warner and pukin a koa commercials together yeah maybe bring him both then i don't know but i mean i only say because pukes are busy off season with the uh pukes has a lot to say with the latest yeah he's got a lot to say but he even me like i i love Kyle shanhan i don't always want Kyle picking all the players sometimes i think his his voice he has a lot he gets a lot of say rightfully so sometimes i think adventures into too much i wonder if you i have the choice of of john harbaugh or

40:37joshan al-halette harbaugh a run point on stuff fair point thanks for that um all right now you can see don han and rosenberg live from the irish exit moinhand train hall friday march 13th which is a week from tomorrow before the senate file round of the big east tournament stop by before heading into the garden or before your commute home dhr is there affectionately known as live from the irish exit moinhand train hall starting at three o'clock friday march 13th brought to you by shwebs above the rim refreshment feel the madness and refresh your game with a shwebseltzer or shwebs ginger ale also by sam atoms and sun cruiser vatka iced t available at avanita and the ratha ferd must be twenty one or older to purchase please drink responsibly joe in ocean gate good morning joe how are you good morning guys sixty five or sooner day right that's right that's right i'm i'm going to get some stickers made up i think some book some actual but i'm going to send you a bumper sticker you know what you you send me that bumper sticker

41:39i will place it on my car sounds great can i just give a quick little uh psa type thing i spent four and over four hours at dmv yesterday because my wife got a ticket sometime last couple years and they misspelled her last name by a letter or two and it threw a whole wrench in the system and when i went to renew her license it like kicked her out and then she had to go in and we had to spend all those hours there so for future anyone gets pulled over get the ticket so joe you're probably like doesn't this feel like to me you know what this feels like this feels like a morning roast yeah roast i know and tomorrow we do the roast at seven forty five so like i said the other day right do you know what you joe is like a comedian yeah we're before he gets to the main act he does a warm up and his warm up is always like so i'm at the dmv i think it's like okay now that that's done now let me get to the point yeah so so joe maybe we could just get to the next this morning all right sorry guys yeah i'm trying to crush you you said so sad

42:43no i just i'm trying to help out a little listeners because god forbid you know someone will get the ticket today you know and their names misspelled they could they could get it rectified before they have a major issue uh if you have to pay the ticket if they sell your name wrong yes sorry though yeah i don't right right but it did their mistake leads to now all of a sudden you can kick out of the system and you got to spend the entire day in the dmv should you just like you know what drive safer maybe you should be a little more apparent of the rules of the road joe i will do that okay um so my my next the stuff of the first half um once it just looked off i mean obviously only scoring with two points or whatever he just he just did to like the the past is i hit him a tire or i thought maybe he was sick or i didn't know but obviously they play way better in a second half but i i can't take the the the inconsistencies of foul calling where i think sometimes someone gets totally fouled and they don't call a thing and then other times or when they it's like the shot that's like they direct weights for like the shot to be missed or

43:49the ball gets turned over and then they call the foul or whatever and i just i get so frustrated with that i just hope that i mean i don't know if there's a way of fixing that but it's like i it just frustrates me and it it turns me off to the game right but then it frustrates you last you when that same stuff was happening well the year before that yeah so i mean it is it going to get fixed probably not i mean this is this is the mba right does it frustrate you when you know sg8 goes up for a shot and kicks his right leg out and they call OG for a foul yeah frustrates the hell he get he gets a good whistle huh i mean it's he's a he's a great player you see this that he has had a hundred and twenty four consecutive games of twenty points or more i didn't surprise me that's insane that doesn't surprise me he's a great player he's his outfit choice for last night not my favorite what was he wearing i don't even know what that was i mean you could just barely see his head popping out of it great great what what was that he looks like a like a certain movie

44:51character yes yeah it was it was an interesting look uh here's mic brown nix head coach on trying to defend sga sga is he's he's a tough cover he does a great job of convincing the referees probably better anybody in the league that you know he's getting hit so he says it's on the cheek there's meaning there and that was as upset as i've ever seen mic brown get last night this is first of the season yeah of course you'd be pissed i mean it's the best player on their team he's got two followers and it's clearly an offensive foul right i mean what are we doing listen i i do everything in my power to avoid crushing the officials but they were they were brutal last night they were awful one bad i was terrible it really was terrible devon and mohigan lake devon good morning your any sp in new york hey good morning guys um yeah i just kind of want to reiterate that you know i agree i think everyone's culpable when your best player doesn't get

45:55enough shots or take enough shots and secondly like that's not how the nix want to play right like they're at their best and most teams are at their best when they're two best guys are being aggressive but now because cats not taking shots maybe brunson and the rest of the guys feel like oh i got to start making shots because he's not but also i pose the question how do we all see this on like our couches at home but the people who are supposed to recognize this aren't um thanks guys have a great that it's really a sensational question right it's it really is how in the world is it so obvious and yet carl and tenetowns mic brown the other players he just is not overly involved in the game i think that the more i watch it and the more the more you kind of hear some of the talk and not not so much now but just early on in the season about you know it the new coach and the new system and everything else is that maybe part of this is mic brown has a system and this is a system that mic brown wants to run as opposed to hey i got these certain

46:57players you know maybe i have to you know maybe i have to modify my system a little bit and i also think that there's probably personality wise like guys in that locker room that want that want to get fed well i mean i mean i need to feed my my offense player before i have to feed other guys right but i mean you are out there he'll shoot guys shoot anything right but he's always i mean he's always the one that says like hey i got to steal if i have to sacrifice for the offense so like i know we don't like to hear that because that's not what we want but there's a play that are two ones it feels like he's two and selfish i'm with you but maybe that's because it maybe because again like it's we're all watching the same thing and you're not an NBA basketball coach i'm not an NBA basketball coach but you watch it you're like what's happening right now like the first half was a great example of that like no one shooting well but cat like let's okay this is now cats time because cats don't let's have success and then we'll get going in the second half but it's like and you just other guys that aren't shooting well just hoisting up shots and i don't know if that's just because we got to keep everybody like we want to you know make sure that you know oh gee gets his and

47:59bridges gets his because if they don't then you know what does that mean on the other side of the ball like there's a lot of personalities in that locker but i don't know because it seems pretty obvious when you watch it like come on like cat let's go let's go get him the ball here here is cat on where this team is currently at right now i think we're going to go spot especially you got 20 more games left so for us to compete the way we did and and be in the game the way we were i think it speaks to us you know continuing i mean we're still working progress i anyone can tell you that we all will tell you that but we're getting closer to that time where we need to be the best version of ourselves and i see us getting better and that's the most important thing right now uh they are getting better but i think there's i love that why not i like i like some of it like and we're getting better we're still working progress i understand like which which i think is true which is true but like i like the way we compete like what do you like the way you compete i know it's okay see and i know they want a championship but still they're on your floor right i mean it's we're just we're going to be happy just the way

49:00we compete it well i mean i guess in theory you give them everything they could handle right well but you're still down 15 and the third i mean they have bad fortune but you're put your butt back which i guess is right part of the compared nature no but is that what we're doing there's not going to be any like oh you know a participation trophy nicks made it to here and this was really great no if and when the nicks lose before the NBA finals and i think even in the NBA finals people can be very upset right but even the tone like like even the tone of how we answer the question like was like almost like a little too optimistic for you no like happy for me well that that's what i mean optimistic for you like i followed out with three minutes left to go the referees sucked we had two chances at the end to tie it up like i'm not happy like it's like oh hey we're working like no i don't know i mean it's just me i wouldn't answer the question like that all right well he's he's he's not everyone it was almost like they were resigned to the fact that hey we're going to lose this game anyway but we competed hard uh i don't think they thought they were going to lose they had to lead late in the game listen to the tone of how we answers the question let me listen to this again uh where where the team is at cat i think we're in a good spot i think we're going to good spot especially

50:01you got 20 more games left so for us to uh compete the way we did and and be in the game the way we were i think it speaks to us you know continuing i mean we're still working progress i didn't anyone can tell you that we all will tell you that but we're getting closer to that time when we need to be the best version of ourselves and i see us getting better and that's the most important thing right now yeah i think you have a more of a problem with it than i do to be in the game the way we were what do you mean to be in the game i mean you felt like 15 and you fought your way all the way back right but what did you expect going in like going in short but i think you're surprised you're expecting to when they were down 15 do you think the next we're going to take the lead at any point no but still like but i think that mean would you answer the question like would you like you know no happy again let's talk about this adnozium he's a different guy part of the dance is not the guy that you are and he's not he's never going to be the guy that we wish he would be he's a different kind of a guy right with that i don't know i don't like i didn't like it okay you don't have to and i understand your point like i don't know i just like i mean i think the day afterwards i could be like i could probably answer a question like that like after getting a chance to kind of like hey let them let the let the emotion

51:05subscribe a little bit go over the film hey good job fellas we battle back didn't shoot one of the first half you know good on us but like no like to compete the way we compete of court well what was the expectation well of course it's the expectation like to be in it well of course you're going to be in it well it's a game we're trying to win right i mean you're on your own floor you're sure this is a good test against a good team happy that we competed uh ESPN ERC is taking over Kalandras you your Kalandras are Kalandras i've heard it both ways yeah i'm gonna go Kalandras it's an Italian village in Caldwell new jersey on with and i'm listening to DHR yesterday and they don't understand how because it's in new jersey dawn doesn't live within five minutes of this place pop of the show oh really top of the show they must have spent 15 minutes like what do you what do you mean how could it possibly how big do they think new jersey is very tight don i believes use the quote i don't live in a postage stamp like it's it's a real state so peter which can can so confuse because dawn said peter peter looked at at wazer or map

52:06question whatever and said it takes an hour to get from here from the studios to Kalandras how could it also take dawn an hour to get to Kalandras from where he is it shouldn't take an hour and then he's peter's assumption was if it takes dawn an hour to get to Kalandras and it takes peter from here an hour to get to Kalandras now it takes dawn two hours to get into the studio it's the it's once oh my god it's one straight line because as if as if every day dawn on his way and it's like all right let me stop at Kalandras and then make my way in oh he naturally would pass on yeah you have apparently because it's in new jersey dawn is obligated to pass Kalandras yeah right uh anyhow Wednesday March 18th they'll all be there DHR live starting at three o'clock with a very special happy hour that you want to miss stick around for the rangers in the devil's watch party with a seven o'clock puck drop big screens great food unbeatable atmosphere and the best fans in all of hockey under one roof reservations are recommended to book your table you do it now nine seven three two two six eight eight eight nine again that's nine seven
