Local Hour: Mamba Mendality

0:00America leads the world in medicine development. It matters. We get new medicines first nearly three years faster. Five million Americans go to work because we make medicines here at home and not relying on other countries keeps us safe. But China is racing to overtake us. Will we let them or will we choose to stay ahead? When America leads, America cures. Let's tell Washington to keep us in the lead. Learn how at americancures.com. Pay for by Farma.

He also put it on Kobe's game and Wilds game. No, because all of those high scoring games are a little bit bogus. This is from Sam Quinn of CBS. Kobe scored the last 22 Laker points. When he scored 81, 17 of which came with a double digit lead. The last seven from the free throw line. Wilt and Devon Booker are the only players to score 70 against winning teams, and they only did it in losses. Lucas, the only player to score 70 in single digit win. Mitchell did it in overtime. All 70 point games are a little fake. That's why we don't see them

2:11in the playoffs, he said. Don't we have to or can't we all just acknowledge the only way a player can score that many points in a game. There has to be bullshit, right? I don't think that you can get to 100 without bullshit. I think in the modern game, it's possible. That I do think that we will see 100 in our lifetime, just because there's going to be a marksman from outside that doesn't miss. Oh, but the greatest quarter I've seen is Clay Thompson's, right? He had 37 points, did he make 10 threes in that quarter? I think that's the scenario which, unless the rules change, that you're going to see somebody go. This is why I'm telling you, guys, though, that the BAM first quarter is the most impressive thing I've ever seen in a heat uniform during a regular season game. The first quarter, when you're looking at a guy who, and you've seen the stats over the last couple of days here, he made as many threes against the Wizards as he did in his first five seasons in the league combined. I mean, that's crazy.

3:14And he shot a bunch of them. What was funny, one of the many funny things about that is there were about seven of them that just hit the backboard. Like he threw seven boulders at the rim when he got tired when he lost his legs. That was all at the end. It was all at the end because did you know that he got to 70 points with about seven minutes left in the game? And he was shooting over 50% from the field and over 40% from three. His stats were unbelievable. And then the bullshit started. And in 2015, the Golden State Warriors beat Sacramento Kings and Clay had 37. He had nine for nine from three and 13 for 13 overall field goals. So another four buckets and he had two free throws. Mike, you thinking there's going to be a hundred point game because Clay's going to do that in three quarters. He's going to go that was just one quarter. He's going to go 27. He's going to go 27 for 27 over three quarters and get to do it. If bam can go for 83, a Steph Curry type can go for 100. I do think that we sort of underestimate the amount of stamina that takes. I've heard him

4:21interviewed some, but I haven't heard anyone ask him if he's ever been that tired at the end of a game because I can't imagine he's ever been that tired at the end of any game he's played. His jersey was a different color than his shorts. I had someone say to me yesterday that his jersey was black at the end of the game. That's a red jersey. This is the Dalmatar show with his Tugat spot cast. Follow me up a logic ladder here. Would everyone here agree that in basketball defense is equally important to offense? Yes. Everyone here would agree with that even though we celebrate offense wildly disproportionately, we would agree that defense is as important. I speak for everyone. You would also agree that we do a very poor job of talking about it, well, measuring it. Well, offense is easier to see, right? So Mike Ryan has understandably grown

5:26tired of bam out of bio as the lead thing for something that has been a play in team. But would you agree or is it blasphemy to say based on what I just said that bam out of bio to the Miami heat's defense has been what Dwayne Wade has been to their offense? Yes or no? I disagree with that because bam out of bio to the heat's defense has not given the same results as what Dwayne Wade leads offense. And I think the example that you just cited is why offense is more important than defense because Dwayne Wade and his offensive game has beaten tremendous defense in the playoffs in moments that you've absolutely needed. And out of bio knocked out the Celtics at the rim in the bubble with defense in the playoffs. The reason that I say this and the reason that I disagree with what Zaz just said, bam's defense and this is why he won't trade him. Bam's defense always makes them top five. I saw Wade be graded offense and them not be top five. They're always top five

6:29and it's always because bam out of bio is at the center of their defense. Have we ever remembered a play from a game one in a series the way that we remember Bam's because like a lot of people think it's Mandela effect. A lot of people think that the series was one on that play. It was game one. If you just make that block they probably don't win that series. Was the island Iverson over Tai Liu game one? Yes. Yes. There you go. That's a good example and actually it's a much better. That's a good game one. Yeah because they lost they the sixers won the first one in LA. Everyone was shocking and the Lakers won the next four. What happened there? And it's one of the most iconic moments in basketball. In a five game on the wrong end of a five game. Was a Mack Geiger on that team? I think Eric Snow was the point guard on that team that Alan Iverson dragged a bunch of bumps. Did you see Eric Snow at the reunion? Yeah that's not new. No I'm just what I can't talk. I'm catching up with my friends. Did you guys see Eric Snow at that? Yeah. All right I'm not going to say what everyone's thinking. I saw Pat Croci you guys see him he looks good. Well you just said what you weren't going to say. By saying that Pat Croci

7:32looks good. You just said what you weren't going to say about Eric Snow. We we didn't comment on Antoine Walker at the 20 year remake reunion. Why are we doing that? This is something well Dwayne Wade was talking about the lack of buzz in town and are you guys willing to follow me down the path of the Miami Heat who know more than we do are unwilling to trade Bam out of bio because they think he is to their defense. What Dwayne Wade is to their off what Dwayne Wade was to their offense. It's regardless of whether you want to split hairs on it or not it's pretty close. Like he's he's an all-time defender. Bam out of bio will will be will go down as an all-time defender while never winning the defensive player of the year. It's for sure it's it's kind of the same way as suppose the best coach but never wins coach of the year. The thing is you can't measure defense my bad my my voice is going right now with DR last night. WBC and you're absolutely lit last night but you don't measure the game it's it's point scored not defense right like

8:33he'll be like oh Bam's got four defensive stops like okay that doesn't matter because if they come down and hit four threes it doesn't really matter. And I guess I would just kind of you know say what I said again but in different words where I don't think that Bam can be the best player on your team and you win a championship and I know Dwayne Wade can be the best player on your team well but you're doing the measurement of just winning is the only thing that matters you're doing it the way we measure quarterbacks but it's not the only thing that goes into winning and on the front end I just asked you is defense as important as offense because before Bam out of bio those heat teams we celebrate Bosch Wade and LeBron they won their defense was great like they they made a bunch of mid-range jumpers against the spurs because you know pop figured out how to get them to just made mid mid-range jumpers but they are every year a top five team with Bam at the center of the defense it's the core principal philosophy of almost everything they do I wonder if I can just

9:36say flatly the heat value defense more than they do offense they figure they can get offense from every Max Truce every gave Vincent every Duncan Robinson they'll figure out how to get offense this year's heat team is only as many games over 500 as it is because of its defensive rating they are an average offense efficiency but the thing is day when you say all those guys the Max Truce is in game vids and it's in Ducca Robinson's you have one guy at the center that can put the team on his back when the playoffs are you don't have a Jimmy Butler anymore you don't have the guy that's the the stalwart to your offense it can't be Tyler hero we know my point is that no matter who's on defense whether it's Tyler hero Norman Powell or anybody or Max Truce or anyone else the reason they're good at defenses because Bam's always at the center of the defense guarding all five of your guys yeah their defense this year in particular is fully because of Bam like they had so many guys out there at so many different moments who struggled and while they have some really good individual defenders Davie on Mitchell is a good individual defender Pella Larson as well Angel Wiggins having one of the best seasons of his career on both sides of

10:41the ball at the same time Bam's ability to guard one through five to play in his zone to play man to man to guard a wing to guard a big that's what allows them to do all the different things they do that do slow down other teams eventually which is why they decided to play with pace this season because they knew he can anchor it my point is they have more knowledge than we do they have more invested than we do they say Bam is untouchable I'm explaining the reason to you that they say Bam is untouchable we'll talk about the 83 point it's not why they value him it's because he always shows up it's because of the rarest of things other players in the league say of Bam out of bio we know how hard that dude works it's evident in what it is that he's created with his game but Dwayne Wade I heard him here he had some pretty great sound and Dwayne Wade seems legitimately angry

11:42and if I say to the audience Dwayne Wade's 2010 through 2014 when they were fighting with America do you think he misses fighting with America about stuff this is Dwayne Wade here and these are fangs for Dwayne Wade when he says what he says here also let me say things and let me do things that y'all can't do right spoke came walking like we're reduced and say certain things that I can say right so let me say certain things right the organization can't do with say certain things that I can say let me say certain things because I'm a hold I'm a hold the organization to a standard what do you like it or not right but here we go I'm I wasn't born in Missouri I was born in Chicago but I damn show live about it I'm damn show from the show me state show me seeing his believing that's like I said the band on the show like it's not that I don't believe in you it's not that I don't believe in his organization I've seen it but show me and you know what they doing oh they show me so if I'm gonna send some I'm about to send some emojis to band right now it's gonna be this I zip it I zip it as long as you gonna keep show me baby show me that you are one

12:48of them dudes that we know you are and that's what you do right now and that's what the heat is doing so let's go let's go sounds like a victory lap to me he's like yeah I told him to play harder I told him to play better and they're doing it I think he likes being able to do this where he could talk like he said spoke can't go in there and say all this I think he likes being able to say these things with no repercussions now things that he probably couldn't say when he was playing he called them a playing team he pissed them off he pissed them off by saying there's no buzz around that city they don't have somebody who was me or Jimmy or a star and so he ended up agitating them let's get to some more a dwayne sound here because there's a killer quote in here just a killer quote from him the band the heat in the six yeah we got a couple yeah we got a couple weeks left right in a six place and then we could get to the fifth place and then you could possibly play Cleveland at first round at four five match up well so they got a diet yeah I like Cleveland I like James over there but you know what they only been playing together for a little while like yeah you can make noise you can have a year that you know you could be proud of it ain't just it ain't just about winning

13:52championships like ultimately yes we want to win championships but you got to take steps to get there you got to build these steps right and so this is a building year so let's build and so the end of this year going to show us what we going to build into for the next season and what the team going to be able to do it is all season about what we do and how we think is this year and so I'm I'm gonna say we into the day I ain't here no more because I'm a blood sweat and tears though was left in that in that state yeah yeah yeah and also too don't give me a county don't name it out to me if y'all don't like that I'm gonna always hold us to a standard baby his way of counting is because it's a standard that's it that is a killer dismount do not name a county after me if you don't want to abide by my standards you could tell that he started cooking then he's like oh wait a second I got one more hold on a second how about this one don't forget the county and county how do you think jazz fans experience that do they care like this guy is supposed to be part of it well there's never been anything like that has there a guy who owns a part of another

14:55team and is still representing this one down here Tom Brady yeah yeah I guess I would even say roots with Patriots of Super Bowl the super he would he no commented whether he was rooting for the bass not quite this where he's going after the individual players he did piss off he did piss off bam out of bio but one of the things that is always funny about media members and fans and how they react to conflict in a locker room those guys thrive off of conflict it was Ray Allen who actually taught me he's like nobody in here is in their feelings on anything like they pissed off his fuel pissed off is something that you know Dwayne Wade learned in an organization where shack and mourning would go face to face with Riley and it seemed everyone there like they were going to fight and then you know shack and mourning would get kicked out of practice because

15:56they thrive on conflict they create it to think it's it's very different from most other workplaces and I have seen before we get to the more positive sound from around the league because there is some of that I have seen Zaz and Jeremy getting pissed off about the conflict that there presently is around the the bam conversation yeah I mean it's it's why and I said this yesterday I really wish they pulled him at 81 because I think the reaction would have been so so different and I'm I'm annoyed and I'm offended at some of the reaction which bam does not deserve he did nothing wrong and I just wish bam was getting the respect in the adulation over these last 36 hours that I think he deserves and it's played out exactly the way I figured out a play out and and some of the things that I've heard people say out there it's offensive to me as a heat fan oh folks look at me

17:00I'm in my 30s which is old enough to know better and somehow still young enough to ignore that information pretty regularly like you know me all of a couple drinks normal adult behavior nothing crazy and the next morning my body reacts like I have made a series of terrible decisions with no supervision my sleep score tanks I wake up confused suddenly even replying to one text feels like a full task but that is why I have discovered and gotten into cheers restore alcohol it's differently now it affects your brain your sleep your liver all of it and cheers restores made for that it's a dual action after alcohol aid designed to support your brain and your liver after drinking and the origin story is wild it started with a Princeton student researching DHM which is this compound tied to alcohol related effects in the body it's in Walgreens CVS 711 basically everywhere it was on Shark Tank all I do is take three capsules after my last drink or before bed and the next morning is way less dramatic same night out way better morning with cheers for limited time our listeners are getting 20 percent off your entire order by using code Dan

20:08they lose in Miami they don't got a chance in Boston or they're going to have their ass you know what in Boston you know two guts they were wrong they were are they going to lose their job no are they going to get a cutting plate no what are they going to do keep predicting what is the obvious they're going to say oh the nuggets are going to win all them were the altitude and you know what the heat are going to win it all this is the done lebertard show with this two guts I think there have been some voices that have been weak on this like lakers fans in particular who are trying to discredit well you know what I was taught is that mamba mentality is continuing to go for records for continuing to score that if you're getting triple team wait a second why would

21:08you undermine that what I was going somewhere that was going to be a good clip for social and you ruined he can't culturally appropriate the black mom I didn't say black he said black he can't do it it's because your every word says white do I well you know look at me but the mamba mentality would be continuing to go out there you think you think that could be Bryant would have taken himself out to honor some other legend rather than setting a record Mike and Tony both reacted the same way I sought sweep over the room okay and it was like watching one of these tsunami movies when I saw sweep over the room they both absorbed what you were saying I learned from mamba so the mamba taught him what I've learned from mamba they both react by just laughing at the general tone of you someone cut that up because I don't think I said what I've learned from mom so I said what I've learned about the mamba mentality and I would ever get in here before when I heard the line I looked at Tony and I said it and he was like oh that's a bar you never

22:08said you rehearse the line sound it's so white I pitched it out there you know you rehearse minor penalty two minutes four explaining the show wow you rehearse that line like wait County like I said it I went hey you know what I don't think that's mamba mentality and Tony was like that's pretty good wow I'm not going to stop saying mamba mentality I had an opportunity here yesterday took me out of contact you rehearse that that was rehearsed a line that at halfway through it you got through it and you were serious rehearsing your movie poster line and Tony and Mike were trying to stifle laughter Dan he threw it up to me and I was like oh that's good but the problem is if you don't say it if I say it it's good if you say it not good so I thought I was going to say but then he said it and I was like oh okay you but you could have gotten away with it yeah because that's my that's my culture he can't appropriate my culture well now now Mike is looking at you the same way that he was looking at of course he would because he's not a hoop he's not part of our culture it's a different story uh

23:12I have some sound here from around the league but let's start with what it is Brian Windhorst is particularly saying as I talk to people around the league today I've found great response from Bamette Bios pierce he's very popular amongst his peers so there's that and then the pierce who are talking matter okay because here's Kevin Durant I couldn't believe it when I was hearing it in real time he got 30 in the first quarter and then it's 70 congratulations to ban on how much work he puts in I looked at the stash he was pretty crazy 40 shots 40 free throws 23 he's that's it that takes a lot of stamina man that takes a lot of energy to go out there and put those shots up it also make on the center record so past Kobe is the second highest former player in history of the game I mean damn congrats to him that's as nice as you'll ever hear Kevin Durant talking to the media right there just happy about somebody doing something good just he's just

24:13sitting here saying that's positive when he talks about the stamina I'm going to say this part again I don't know if you guys ever saw Ocho Sinko talking about playing against Real Madrid wasted practice against them when he was at the height of his Bengals powers fit really fit he's like I couldn't touch the ball couldn't get close to the ball and we were talking yesterday I think our show would have a hard time getting over half court against the Wizards if they were trying to keep us from getting over half court because Alex uh sorry is is an extra terrestrial like he's just super wide and we wouldn't be able to get to the ball uh and what bam did yesterday with the triple teams impress people who are used to triple teams like Yannis every three incredible incredible speaks volumes in this hard work I haven't seen the game I have to watch the game and see it's a 43 from the line free throws yeah that's a matter how you get it otherwise you got it like in 10 20 30 years from now nobody's going to remember having the

25:17free throw he shot I don't think I I remember how many shots Kobe shot or how many free throws he made all you remember is 81 wheeled 100 you don't remember that you know so I didn't know the day he got eight or three points and I mean I think Lodge is a little faulty there you know even though he's trying to do something say something positive there about bam that reporter just trying to get him to say something bad before you say something good let me tell you about the free throws I hear in both Yannis and Kevin Durant them uh experiencing haters a certain way and being clear on I'm not going to sound like a hater of this by finding all of the ways to criticize this you can hear the smiles on both of their face even though those muscles have atrophied on Kevin Durant's they don't work he has to bring in trainers and stuff to stretch him with bands and to get the smile to work but here also not exactly appear but a former player here's Lou Williams who knew how to score

26:18talking about it super impressive I got I got no complaints I got no criticisms listen when you subscribe to doing silly things you play silly games you win silly prizes you know uh Washington they they subscribe to trying to stop him from getting they look like the 81 points or just trying to stop him from continuing the score the way that he was scoring you know we can make a case about the 36 free throws those were legitimate files they couldn't stop them they were filing them and he shot the free throws for it I didn't see a lot of flopping if anything a lot of those supposed to be and ones if you ask my opinions a lot of those files that he were getting they were supposed to be finished because he was fouled in the act of shooting a lot of those files if you look at it the first half when he had 43 and 19 minutes a lot of that was just bully ball him putting his head down either dunking on somebody land a basketball all up or complete and ones and when they couldn't stop him from getting to the rim he made three points now was it his most efficient night once he realized he was scratching the surface of history of course not once you get that close to the fire I'm going for Toronto never doubled Kobe right now I don't know about never

27:24but I've seen photos on the internet of him just being in isolation with one guy it was a historically like that's the whole thing about the game it was one of the main criticism of San Mitchell twice San Mitchell was toasting champagne yesterday because his strategy is what got them roasted I'm not going to double Kobe no matter what and isn't a why everyone points a jail in rose you were the defender you're the guy that got torched yeah and instead it was the entire wizards team yeah I actually think you know as far as a free throws because of the way that Washington was guarding him double and triple teaming full court that's not how you defend like you're going to draw fouls when you have three guys who are just crowding you it's also like I like I told you guys during the shadow show like he was shooting over 50% from the field and over 40% from three deep into the fourth quarter having already scored 70 points and then they started triple teaming him which means that 30 of those free throws came because they simply couldn't

28:24guard him like that's the part of all of this they're a terrible defense they could not guard bam at a bio and he was asserting his will on a night where they didn't have anybody else to do it their next high score with Simone Fontecchio yeah nowhere no pal no wiggins no hero but one of the things that I found interesting about this and when I mentioned the Raal Madrid Ocho Sinko example of Ocho Sinko was in his prime as a number one receiver in the NFL he goes out to play with Raal Madrid and he's underestimated he couldn't get to touching the ball because of how good they were with the ball Tony you know as a basketball lover that the athleticism and the aggressiveness of bam at a bio when he spins with that body type you almost can't do anything but foul him

29:25it's why I mean as always yelling please be more aggressive than four and a half free throws a game there's no one who can stop you no one in the history of athletic bodies who can stop you if you just go neck first at the rim that way because they're gonna have to hit you you're too athletic but Dan that's the part that's tough because going playing that style it it it hurts right shooting 43 free throws hurts and obviously he's not gonna shoot that every night but if you shoot 16 17 18 free throws a night like SGA would your body's gonna break down playing defense the way he does banging down low the way he does with big like it's it's not an easy way to play but when he has that head of steam and you saw it when he would break through the triple team and then have the ball basically one on one on the top of the key it was a spin move here it was just taking strong up this way like they couldn't stop him and it feels like if any other team he would do that against he would have the same results just a matter of like lighting that fire and playing that way it'll be a little bit interesting what he looks like tonight right I mean I imagine he is going

30:25to be hurting his body is physically going to look dead right I've asked the heat to see if they we can get him I don't think they do anything on game day but I have asked the heat to see if we can get bam today because I've just got a bunch of questions about how he physically feels because I don't think people understand the amount that that takes to do all of that but let's just show this video here of Sam Mitchell again toasting champagne they got champagne that's good work by the staff that both have champagne and the glasses to celebrate the fact that he never double teamed Kobe and allowed him to get to 81 point as part of the show back in the day where it was like hey Tony go find us this because we don't have this at the studio one time I had to go get fruit loops because stew gots could say that he could tell the difference between all the different ones I had to go like see the s's to go find fruit loops so some poor p.a. somewhere was like what did champagne he's going down to like that juice that's tough to do though right because you what you couldn't have seen none of us saw him getting past Kobe well no obviously but even

31:30after that this was a number that I saw on the sportsbooks at the half the over under on bam for the game was 55 and a half at the at the half so him getting to to 81 is nothing that the he'd had even considered like they weren't considering that until Washington started with the bullshit I have a couple of buddies that had some under tickets on bands couple points it was 25 and a half you see under 83 in sports championships on one alone the one with the right people around you that's exactly what into a total tax brings to taxes with total tax expert full service match with a dedicated tax expert who handles your taxes from start to finish the experience is seamless storm in person finish online move between both whenever needed the dedicated tax expert keeps things updated every step of the way so nothing falls between the cracks think of it like having a great head coach with a solid game plan the plays are called adjustments are made and the work

35:42it was made a mockery down the stretch in the way they were about to win it's it's not the normal thing that we're seeing an NBA game but at the other two as joy goes inside this is pretty as the rebound the other thing without a bite this is this is a guy who represents the very best of the NBA flag right he carries himself the kind of teammate he is the work ethic that he has he's been nothing but a great ambassador to the NBA and a high character individual and his story is amazing so for him to have a special night like that my army heat and their fans to have i thought that was wonderful too i both sides have their correct points and that's not his kind of love misses i'm not trying to cop out by saying they're both right but sometimes there's a gray area in there not everything's good and we don't have to be outraged about everything says what do you make of this league wide outpouring it's super unusual for what a great guy yeah yeah you know what are the things that i look at actually during games with the heat whenever

36:45there's a scuffle and you got the players who will come in and they start to separate guys and the bams always in the middle of it because you know he plays down low by the basket and and he's a bigger guy so he's going to be like a peacemaker i always look to see if someone on the other team is trying bam i always look to see if someone shoves him out of the way if someone starts talking shit to him during this little scuffle i always look for that specifically because there is this reputation that everyone loves him and yeah i never see anyone trying bam during games i think it's unusual to hear a whole bunch of other players saying we know how hard he works like that's just and it's a reflection of what they've seen in how his game has changed it's because they also like half these guys played a you ball with them right donovan Mitchell and deer and fox and all of these guys that he grew up with that were in that same draft class they all saw him just as a guy who was setting screens for them being a lob threat for them grabbing rebounds for them

37:47and for him to now be the guy of all of them that goes and scores 83 points in a game and they know how difficult it is to even get to the line that many times if you're just saying like oh he was seven for 22 from three oh there were this many free throws you didn't watch the game and see the flow of the game to see the fact that he earned his way easily to 70 then from there you can argue the semantics of it Roy Tony Mike can i get an official ruling on this sound you know what i was taught is that mamba mentality wow is continuing to go to continue to go where Jeremy somewhere if Dan didn't cut me off i didn't like it he needed a more confiance as what it was you thought he was leaking concrete yeah like it right right after like Chris play it one more time I want to hear where you think he leaks confidence you know what i was taught is that mamba mentality wow is continuing to go it's just you at mamba mentality right that's for me and also after all that you

38:54said that could have been a social clip oh that would have gone viral it's your guy's just fault we've had no clips about any of this that have done anything we're playing clips from other people we're playing clips from other people instead of our show you should have heard about Brian Windhorse and we had our chance we had our opportunity minor penalty two minutes were explaining the show two minutes to rump thing i mean you coming in here and saying we've had no clips do anything that is something that i don't want anyone here motivated by like i don't know what you're doing gotta go viral Dan we had the clip yet he thought he was gonna go he's so away just to be clear i i want to be clear on what not our job no no you're no you're when have i ever said to you Jeremy that your job is you got to go viral because you're failing at your job if that's what your job is like you have been an abject failure at it you went viral eating Cheetos like you had your fingers in your mouth

39:58with your head you had cheese dust on your fingers that's how you went viral you think that was you doing your job well the guy who makes us wear costumes so that when i say something racist at least he admitted allegedly what did he say i mean he is displaying mamba mandalini Roy can i get your opinion you have sat out peacefully and gracefully you have set out the mamba mandalini mamba mandalini clip to be fair i did think he had said it differently i had him at a tiny chair with a small desk with gum stuck underneath the desk sitting in a class where mamba was teaching mentality on the board like it was he was being taught a shoot never assist punch your teammates in the face be an asshole win the championship go six for 24 and have run our test bill you out in a game seven against the Celtics oh a five championship stand

41:00the fifth one was the one he left the most and and met a world peace wanted for him and then thank this yeah but dad he ran through a mf for chest and pogas on the Olympics as i am right i know you remember that one yeah you're a hater too okay i got this away my only two minutes oh i agree nothing i agree he's gotta go i mean yes what you gave him you said yes and you made it literal you gave him you made you made yes and this improv literal by just giving him yeah literally threw up an alley you formed his eyes to come in and be like oh i remember that my voice damn you know what i'm sorry yeah minor penalty two minutes four leaking confidence you two right you gotta go like the Tampa Bay Lightning just you you've got to get out of here and only you the University of Miami plays it uh two thirty today Louisville Louisville Louisville Louisville uh beat them last time uh that was a disappointing night they panicked at the end they threw the ball out of

42:01bounds i thought the Miami Hurricanes are gonna win that game and have more wins than they ever had in a season on sunday you guys are gonna want to be with us i assume the University of Miami will be about a three seed but maybe this tournament will change that seeding because they lost at home against Louisville and i don't know if another loss against Louisville which has uh nine or ten losses this season i like Louisville i think they're a good team and Miami's projected in most places to not be that high like i've seen six seven okay i just i figured if they won the ACC tournament oh if they win it yeah that that'd be a boost because presumably although duke sneaky sneaky tough game fsu's playing better uh not an in embarrassing loss for Miami anymore but yeah if they go through duke it would certainly boost their credence even if they got to the game against duke i would assume that they would uh end up being a very high seed and i my kel brown is not playing for Louisville he's out until he hopes to make a return in the nc double a tournament Louisville is indeed a tournament team but they already beat uh Miami without him

43:04they did but they also shot like 60 percent from three the shot making in that game was incredible it was impressive in defeat that Miami was able to climb back into the game and then that entire second half was a was a bit of a war uh Miami's a one and a half point dog today we'll see two thirty tip i've had a couple of stumbles today in which the glitch system has short circuited me the mamba mandality that's so bad the mamba mandality of a mandality is totally different manatees you said manatees uh i don't know what would be a mandality what would that what the mamba mandality that's a totally different thing that has nothing to do with kobi Bryant what is a mandality mamba mandality Nelson Mandela your voice knows you're making mistake there it is that is you know what you got me exactly right there that's minor penalty two minutes for leaking confidence

44:05the mamba mandality let's be honest here though after the game the other night i can't be the only one who thought this after the game the other night and bam is doing the post game you know uh spot light on the floor with kelly sacco and you know then the whole team came up and they sprayed him with water and and it was a really fun moment i mean how badly did Jeremy wish that was his oh man i was sitting on the couch watch with my wife and i was like Jared there's no way Jeremy's on this broadcast like we would have seen that via text earlier in the game if that was i have never been so jealous of anyone in my life retexting kelly i texted kelly with about three minutes to go and i was like you are going to crush this but i also was kelly has a hundred more marlins games than i do and i am more jealous of the fact that she did that than the fact that she has a hundred you guys are different teammates than we are around here because if i if that was you i would have been texting you you're going to screw this one don't choke yeah don't choke don't stumble over your words did you consider the biggest interview of your entire life right here did you guys all would have been roasting me did you consider it any point during the game like once bam got

45:1070 did you consider getting in the car and driving to the arena is like listen you know i'm going to throw on the suit drive down there kelly look i appreciate it i'm here but i'm about to have the greatest interview of all time right the Kanye mentality like do you and kelly have the same amount of games yes we have the same amount of games i did not get assigned to that one okay yeah super disappointing also wasn't in the building because it was my grandfather's 86 birthday yeah but i mean grandfather's 86 bam 83 what have been cool if he scored three more points to be fair it would have been a Jeremy game against the wizards where bam has like 15 and 8 felt like a Jeremy game yeah we're just like okay cool for sure if i was there he doesn't score 83 like when i was doing that game for sure i i have tonight's game i'll be on tonight's game between the guys he's gonna be loud he's gonna shoot like six for 22 and have 14 points in 12 rebounds it'll be a win because he's a yana stopper but yana might also have like 90 i can't be the only one who thought about that that's what was on my mind to the end of the game

46:11mike you know i have one rule to live by right don't place parlay's on multiple long shots don't say a game is one when it hasn't hit triple zero always drink your gig or myster ice cold that's the rule everything else is merely a suggestion everything else everything else wearing clean underwear every day well that's just a personal decision brushing your teeth obviously smart but not a rule never pp on an electric fence okay maybe there are two rules but the one that is a hundred percent that i insist on completely yagermeister must be drank ice cold or don't drink it at all damn that's cold exactly you're finally starting to get it drink responsibly yagermeister lecora 35% alcohol by volume imported by mass yagermeister u.s white plains new york
