00:00Now, back to Stiney and Guru on 95.7 The Game.
00:05All right, it's time for the crossover brought to you by Bay Alarm.
00:07Rest easy.
00:08We've got you covered.
00:09Bayalarm.com.
00:10Evan Giddings in for goo today, and now we welcome in Willard and Dibs.
00:15I saw Willard last night at the game, and Dibley wasn't there.
00:22That's fine.
00:23I mean, there you have it.
00:24I saw Willard last night at the game, saw Guru last night at the game.
00:28How long did you guys stay in the suite for?
00:30Only a little bit more.
00:32I didn't want to leave the kids to their own devices because that was either going to feel like a
00:35bad dad
00:36or it was going to get expensive because they were free to start running around getting ice cream and all
00:41that stuff.
00:42So anyway, yeah, like just, I don't know, half the third quarter.
00:46How old are the kids?
00:48Those two are 17 and 12.
00:50Okay, I was going to say because you could have told them to come up to the suite.
00:53There was a bunch of booze up there.
00:55Yeah, and the 17-year-old would have said yes.
00:59So is that one of those things where, all right, we're going to head up, we'll be back in a
01:04little bit.
01:04Here's the credit card.
01:07No, no, no, no, we don't do that.
01:09They don't have it on their phone or anything?
01:11So, yeah, the older one does, but for some reason, whatever, yeah, the Apple Pay thing doesn't work for her,
01:18but she's real good at putting bills on the desk afterwards.
01:24So ice cream was $17.
01:27Go ahead and put that in my account.
01:29So it doesn't matter if they've got my card or not.
01:31I got you.
01:32They're good about it, though.
01:34They ask.
01:35Yeah, but if you're gone for half a quarter and they got a hankering, then they might just pull the
01:39trigger, you know?
01:40And they did.
01:41Yeah, it hit you later.
01:42Yeah.
01:43You Venmo me, Dad.
01:44I was in a yes mood last night.
01:46Yeah.
01:48So the chase card had some smoke coming off of it.
01:53No doubt.
01:54Yeah, when I was a kid, my dad would go to, we'd usually go to one pro game a year,
02:00a Phillies or Sixers game,
02:01and he would always say, you can pick out a souvenir.
02:06That's kind of how it went with me.
02:07Just one.
02:08We would go to Giants games.
02:09The souvenirs are $170.
02:11No, not anymore.
02:12Yeah, exactly.
02:13We would go to the stick at least once a year, sometimes twice if things broke our way.
02:17And every year, you got to get one of those plastic helmets, which was like five bucks.
02:22And every year, I'd get a different team.
02:24That way, when you play wiffle ball with your buddies, you could be, you know, the Expos,
02:29or you could be the Astros or whoever you want to be.
02:32And I also would get a chocolate malt, the Carnation chocolate malt with the wooden spoon.
02:36Oh, yeah.
02:37Which I think was 325.
02:38And at Candlestick, it's already 41 degrees.
02:41And you're trying to jab a wooden, not even a spoon, it's just a wooden implement into a frozen malt.
02:48And the spoon breaks within six bites.
02:51And now, you know, you have a choice.
02:53Either go get another broken spoon, or you go to the two-finger method.
02:56You stick your face in there.
02:57Basically.
02:58Get your face in there.
02:58Yeah.
02:59Do it like a dog does it.
03:00But it's funny how you get it, the stupid things you remember from 50 years ago.
03:05It's funny you brought up the wiffle ball, because I remember one particular game.
03:10My dad's like, go pick out a souvenir.
03:11I picked out a Phillies batting helmet, the plastic.
03:15With the plastic insert that was adjustable.
03:17Of course, the brown plastic insert with the holes.
03:20Yeah, with the, what's that called?
03:22On the back of a hat, those hats.
03:24Just a little adjustable snap.
03:26Yeah, adjustable snap.
03:28And I come back with the Phillies hat, and he goes, what are you doing, Matthew?
03:32And I'm like, you said I could get a souvenir.
03:34It's a batting helmet.
03:35Yeah, it's a helmet.
03:35He goes, let's get something you can use.
03:37Why don't you buy a, get a t-shirt.
03:40Get a pennant you can put on the wall.
03:42And I'm like, dad, wiffle ball season.
03:46Yes.
03:47I'm going to get more use out of this batting helmet than a shirt.
03:50Oh, so good.
03:51We got games over at the Hex backyard.
03:53I can be Richie Hebner.
03:55Are you kidding?
03:55Oh, that's so great.
03:57And the word useful.
03:58I mean, don't tell a kid, hey, go have fun and do something useful.
04:03Exactly.
04:04What are we doing?
04:05Come on, dad.
04:06How many free souvenir days, like free giveaway days would they have back in the day?
04:11Or is that not like, not like a recent thing?
04:13Like, well, back then it was like, you know what?
04:15We're going to do bat day.
04:17We're going to go ahead and give everyone a mini bat.
04:19Nowadays, I mean, you're talking about thousands of lawsuits because we can't control ourselves.
04:24Well, that's the thing.
04:24I remember that was probably the earliest we would ever get to a ballpark.
04:28Number one, we'd have to stop at Subway because we're not buying food inside.
04:33We're bringing it.
04:34And then we would get there.
04:35Let's say it was like a one o'clock first pitch on a Sunday.
04:37There's some sort of giveaway.
04:39We're getting there latest at 10 a.m.
04:42And then we're just sitting in line.
04:44And you can, you know, you can go run around.
04:46Pops is always going to wait in line for however long.
04:49But I just remember, like, I would never get to a game now three hours before.
04:54Right.
04:54Even it was for a giveaway.
04:56Especially on giveaway day.
04:57Because that's only like, you know, might be only the first 20,000 fans.
05:01Yeah, that's true.
05:02I mean, it happened to us last week.
05:04We're just chilling.
05:05That lovely Christy and I went on Easter.
05:07Those Valkyries jerseys, gone.
05:10Yep.
05:11Gone.
05:11Well, and the Warriors do give out a lot.
05:13And I think you were a kid before Wolf and Fisher.
05:17And back then, they probably would give out 25,000 to 30,000 things.
05:23Once old John took over, the first 17 people, you might get one.
05:30And so, wasn't there a big deal, though, last year?
05:32Was it like a Hello Kitty giveaway with the Giants?
05:35Yep.
05:36Where there wasn't enough, basically.
05:37And people legitimately waited in line for like six hours and still didn't get a Hello Kitty backpack or something.
05:43It's like a midnight sale.
05:44People were showing up the night before.
05:45And then the clay captain's hats were, you know, that was a huge thing for people to get.
05:50But I think they gave away 15,000 or more.
05:53It seemed like everybody got one.
05:54It looked like everyone had.
05:55I think that was kind of the point.
05:56They wanted that video of the whole arena with those things on.
05:59But the giveaways now have become mostly bobbleheads where it used to be bat day, glove day, maybe blanket night
06:07or whatever,
06:08which was always useful at Candlestick.
06:10That's for sure.
06:11Yeah.
06:12Back in my day.
06:14Love it.
06:14I don't even know if they have this anymore.
06:16The biggest day, and maybe it was just for the Yankees, the biggest day of the year was Old Timers
06:22Day.
06:23Oh, those were great.
06:24Those were hilarious.
06:26Does any team have Old Timers Day anymore?
06:29Not the way that they used to go.
06:30The Old Timers would actually go play a three-inning game.
06:32I mean, like the Old Timers.
06:34I mean, people who were, like, taking a good, solid three and a half minutes to get down to first
06:39base.
06:40The day of the game?
06:41Oh, yeah.
06:41Yeah.
06:42And you would get there early to watch.
06:43Absolutely.
06:44Whoever it was.
06:45Absolutely.
06:46Whitey Ford in the stretch.
06:47He's falling asleep.
06:47Oh, my God.
06:49I mean, DiMaggio would be in uniform.
06:51I mean, everybody.
06:53I...
06:53Rizzuto, Billy Marr, everybody.
06:56So I've met Whitey Ford three times.
07:00Whoa.
07:01So when I was talking about minor league stories earlier, but every single year, this one team that I would
07:07work for would bring out Whitey Ford.
07:11I don't know why or what his connection to a short-season single-aid Giants affiliate was, but all I
07:18can remember is what he smelled like.
07:21Ooh.
07:23Every single time.
07:26Well, actually, it's one of two things.
07:28It's got...
07:28It's both.
07:29Okay.
07:29I was going to say cigarettes or booze.
07:31It's a combination of both because he had two stipulations.
07:35He would sign autographs for, I don't know, like an hour, half hour before first pitch, half hour into the
07:42game, and there wasn't a ton of people.
07:43So if you wanted an autograph from Whitey Ford, you could go get one.
07:46But the other one was that he had to have a flask with him at all times.
07:52And so by the time that you'd want to get to him or if you actually wanted to talk to
07:56him or, God forbid, ask him for a picture, which he did not enjoy,
07:59you had to do it early.
08:01Because if you got to him by, you know, second inning, Whitey was in the bag.
08:06Whitey was in the bag and he was just itching to get out to the back so he could rip
08:09a heater.
08:09And I just remember meeting him this one time.
08:11I'm like, oh, my God.
08:13Like, this is what it is to be a pro baseball player.
08:18You're so wasted right now.
08:19And he was on some Yankee teams that were just notorious for gallivanting Billy Martin and the Yankee teams from
08:30way back in the day.
08:33Mickey Mantle.
08:34Oh, the Mick.
08:35They could get after it.
08:36Let's put it that.
08:36And Whitey Ford and Mickey Mantle were apparently always in the middle of it.
08:39We're doing higher or lower.
08:40We do it every Friday.
08:41And this week, the number is 90.
08:43And so I was just looking for a bonus item.
08:47Whitey Ford, age at which he died, higher or lower than 90?
08:52Higher.
08:53Higher.
08:54I'll say lower.
08:55It was close, but he made it.
08:57He was just shy of 92.
09:0091 and change.
09:01So he and my dad in the same club.
09:03Maybe booze and cigarettes aren't the killers of the Demeterian.
09:07Pops lived till 92.
09:09He was sucking it all day up.
09:11It's Jesus.
09:12Lung darts.
09:13Yeah.
09:13It's just luck.
09:14There's so many stories like that.
09:16Like that person was drunk his entire life and they made it to 103 or whatever.
09:20That's a good question here.
09:22Didn't drinking kill Mickey Mantle?
09:24Well, it probably did.
09:26However, he did get sober before he passed for the last few years.
09:30But it had taken a toll.
09:33Yeah.
09:33But he did get sober.
09:34So I read that one of the reasons he started was his relationship with his father, but
09:39also his rookie season.
09:41He like he injured himself that carried his entire career.
09:45He was hurt a lot.
09:46So he's just in pain at all times of his life.
09:48Yeah.
09:49There was no like arthroscopic surgery or no like, oh, we're going to go ahead and repair
09:53the meniscus and ACL replacement.
09:55It was how you tore up your knee.
09:57You got two choices.
09:58Either we take you out back and put you away or you start drinking.
10:02What's it going to be, Mick?
10:04Tough option.
10:05Right.
10:07So what'd you think of that Warrior game last night?
10:10So many things.
10:12Really?
10:12I was I came out of it.
10:13I was like, what do you say about that one?
10:17Well, I thought that Sacramento, they tried their level best.
10:21And so it was a fun, competitive game for about 45 minutes.
10:25And then the Kings shined a bright light on the embarrassment that is April regular season
10:32NBA basketball.
10:33We're going to hack a curry.
10:35Like, do do we not have a stat sheet that indicates he's a pretty good free throw shooter, even though
10:41he missed a couple?
10:42That whole sequence was it was just beyond baffling.
10:47Shams is is on ESPN right now and just tweeted this out less than a minute ago.
10:52So the NBA is looking into what multiple sources now say was a strategy mistake by Kings head
11:01coach Doug Christie on an intentional foul of Seth Curry while leading the Warriors with
11:07over three minutes left to go in Tuesday night's game.
11:10So strategy mistake.
11:13Yeah.
11:13Well, he would then say, I didn't know they were in the bonus or I because he probably if he
11:19if he did lose
11:21track, he probably said, well, we wanted to give a foul there to be the fourth so that once we
11:27got under
11:28two minutes, then the next one would have to send him to the line.
11:31But but not if you were up.
11:33I know.
11:33I mean, I know.
11:34No, but like we were talking about earlier, even if you weren't in the bonus, what what's the purpose of
11:40intentionally fouling Seth Curry?
11:43There isn't.
11:44Well, the only thing I heard and was it prevented the Warriors from taking a three.
11:50OK, it's two o'clock in the afternoon.
11:52The reason that this is coming out is because the Kings have and the NBA have spent all morning
11:58trying to figure out what to say because Draymond called them out, called attention to it.
12:02You want to know what's really weird about all this?
12:04And I don't.
12:05Did you say the end last night?
12:07No, I didn't.
12:08OK.
12:08And obviously you did post.
12:10So where were you when all this was actually happening?
12:12Oh, when when Draymond was at the podium?
12:14Yeah, I'm like, no, no, no, no.
12:15When the fouls fell in the minutes of the game.
12:18Oh, I was sitting in press row.
12:19And all of us were sitting there like, what are they doing?
12:23Right.
12:23And so what I'm doing is I'm sitting about four rows in front of you, looking down on
12:28the ground and wondering if everybody has cleaned up their ice cream and if right, like, OK,
12:34don't spill your drinks.
12:35I was there and I barely even really noticed that anything was amiss because I was just
12:42like, oh, they fouled Seth.
12:44That's at the free throw line.
12:45And I was in a very passive watch sort of a mode.
12:48So that's actually what stood out to me today is it was I got home before I realized this
12:52was controversial.
12:53Yeah, me too.
12:54I went back and looked at it and the camera just caught the end of it because it was in
12:59the backcourt.
13:01And, you know, I think that's interesting.
13:02And further proof is nobody asked Christy about it in the postgame.
13:07Like, nobody asked him why he did that.
13:10You're listening to 95.7 The Game, KGMZ FM and HD1 San Francisco on Odyssey Sports Station,
13:15always live in the free Odyssey app and now broadcasting from the Laughing Monk Studios.
13:19So I'm watching the broadcast and Fitz and Buki are saying they they fouled Pat Spencer away
13:24from the ball and then they cut to Draymond and he, of course, is losing his his business
13:28over the fact that it should be a take foul.
13:30It's a take foul to take foul.
13:32He's in the ref's face and I didn't think that he was necessarily wrong.
13:35And I'm thinking, all right, after the break, Pat Spencer at the foul line.
13:39Here comes Seth Curry.
13:40And I'm thinking they got it wrong or something happened.
13:43And then they show the replay and you see McDermott basically go over and just like start tapping
13:48him gently.
13:49And I'm thinking, what in the wide, wide world of West is going on around here?
13:53You're up 101 to 100.
13:55Like, you're not in control of the game, but you got a chance to win it.
13:59And then it happens again.
14:00And I'm thinking, oh, my goodness, really?
14:02And Doug Christie's over there and they cut to him a couple of times.
14:04And he's I can't quite read the lips, but he's muttering and mumbling.
14:08And he's saying something.
14:09And so I don't know if the word came down to him or if he went rogue or whatever happened.
14:14Huge game for them.
14:16Oh, it was massive.
14:17No, it was a must lose.
14:18They have the exact same record as as Utah.
14:21If they win that game, they go a full game ahead of Utah, who's lost 10 in a row and
14:25is
14:25not threatening to win another game.
14:27So you absolutely move percentage points and down in the in the race and all of that stuff.
14:33And they don't have the the reverse tiebreaker.
14:37So they actually win the tiebreaker.
14:39Utah does.
14:40So Utah's in the bottom four right now.
14:42SAC has to clear them by a loss in order to get into the top four because they have a
14:45better
14:46conference record.
14:47Their head to head is two to two.
14:48And it sucks because this is usually what we're discussing when we're talking about one
14:52through six seeding or an actual play in playoffs type of situation.
14:57But instead, there's more focus.
14:58I felt like we were talking about this earlier.
15:00I feel like there's more competition for the number 30 seed than there is for, say, the
15:08number one seed in either of the respective conferences.
15:11Brooklyn has won two games in a row and is now just a half game behind Sacramento also.
15:14And so you're scoreboard watching and you see one of your competitors for the bottom win
15:19and that incentivizes you even more to lose.
15:22Those three all have 59 losses.
15:24And if you're in the bottom three, you go from 45 percent to 52 percent to be a top four.
15:30And your number one goes up by about three percentage points.
15:33Not a huge jump, but the more you lose, the better you are.
15:37I mean, I'd be so pissed if I played for that team.
15:40Yeah, pissed I'd be like you put that uniform on and you go out there and you sweat.
15:44You sweat your ass off and you play that entire game and then you get all the way to the
15:49end.
15:50You've erased a double-digit deficit.
15:52You get all the way to the end and somebody throws in a bat signal to toss the game.
15:57Well, and this is where Draymond absolutely hit the nail on the head.
16:02Tank, like players don't tank for the most part.
16:06Organizations tank.
16:07Right.
16:08By putting certain personnel out there or not out there that they know are going to give them a better
16:14chance,
16:15you know, of losing.
16:17And Draymond, I think, is right on with the that's got to be a team issue.
16:22That's got to be a penalty for the front office if you think somebody's doing that.
16:26And the problem is that everybody does it here and there.
16:33You know what I mean?
16:34But this year it's been very prevalent for the last several months.
16:38And look, there's a tangible reason that teams, that the goal is to get in the bottom three
16:44because the bottom three teams each have a 14% chance.
16:47And if you're the fourth worst team, it goes to 12.5.
16:50And if you're a fifth place team, it goes to 10.5.
16:54You're playing literally or you're not playing for percentage point percentages.
16:58Bottom five is mandatory.
17:00Bottom three is preferred.
17:02So you're fighting like heck to lose as much as you can.
17:05And, you know, Utah's dropped 10 in a row.
17:07So that's a low bar to try to get under.
17:09Instead of trying to clear a high bar, it's NBA limbo.
17:13How low can you go?
17:14And I wonder, Dibs, like how – I don't want them –
17:19like I don't like that Dallas got Cooper flag last year.
17:24So if you get rid of the lottery, could you just imagine how we're just going to go to a
17:28win
17:29in a non-weighted system, the Oklahoma City Thunder, win the draft?
17:34Like you can't have that either.
17:35You can't.
17:36But Dallas was – they had what, the 13th best chance of getting in.
17:40It was like 1.8 or something.
17:41Right.
17:42So they just got lucky.
17:43I think that you should weight it toward the middle to where if you're bottom five
17:48or if you're the best five that don't make the playoffs, then you get lesser odds.
17:52So in other words, if you're like the 22nd best team, maybe you get the most ping pong balls
17:58because you probably tried harder than Washington and all these other teams.
18:02Or what Mark has been saying is you weight all non-playoff teams equally.
18:07And therefore, if you're the worst or you're the 14th worst, you get the same chance of getting there.
18:12Yeah.
18:12I mean, I think there are some teams that, like at the bottom, I understand why Indiana is tanking.
18:18You know, they lost their best player in Game 7 of the Finals.
18:21They did acquire a player this year that's supposed to help them compete next season.
18:26Like I get, you know, the Warriors in 2020, they weren't – they chose the tank after Curry got hurt,
18:31but it wasn't like external factors didn't force them into that situation.
18:37Whereas Sacramento and Brooklyn, for example, I don't know what they're doing other than just trying to be bad.
18:44I can at least envision, say, maybe Washington.
18:47They got Trey Young and Davis.
18:49And so next year, if you pair them with a number one, you're going to be – you know,
18:51like I can see the vision for some teams and I can understand what they're trying to get to.
18:56But to blatantly do that, like to me, that was a new low for tanking last night.
19:01And I don't know if, Christy, the decision was just, hey, you got to lose.
19:06Because they had won two or three coming in.
19:09That you got to lose and that was his way of doing it.
19:11But to just blatantly throw it out there in front of everybody,
19:17I was glad that Draymond called it out because you're right.
19:19I do think that a lot of people just kind of went over their heads.
19:22I think the other thing – you can't actually blame any people who are on the ground floor.
19:27McDermott's coachable.
19:29I don't know why you wouldn't do this.
19:31Why would you not do this?
19:34I'm not going to ask for these people to just have all kinds of integrity.
19:39When, for all I know, if that's a bat signal that comes from Doug Christie's boss,
19:44what would you like him to do?
19:46No, no, no.
19:47He has to do it.
19:48No, boss.
19:49I'm going to have integrity.
19:51Cool.
19:51You're fired.
19:54What's interesting is, okay, so you can't say, hey, guys, we're kind of trying to lose,
20:03so make it look like we're trying to win.
20:05But then when you tell McDermott to foul intentionally, then it's bringing attention to it.
20:11So now everybody knows you're trying to do it.
20:14But really what you want to try to do is fool everybody.
20:18And I laugh to Evan about this.
20:20The Wizards have done a great job this year.
20:23They haven't been fined.
20:25And they're kind of fooling people.
20:27Well, they don't play all their guys, though, right?
20:29Well, like, for example, when they traded for Trey Young, everybody thought, yeah, he's done.
20:32They're going to shut him down.
20:33He played about four or five games.
20:35Right.
20:35You know, Anthony Saar hasn't really been shut down.
20:40He's played a little bit here and there.
20:42So I don't know.
20:43So they've avoided it by camouflaging it, I guess.
20:47But I every situation is different.
20:50Yeah, exactly.
20:50Brooklyn is just young and not good.
20:52Utah got players and said, yeah, see you guys all next year.
20:55You are hurt.
20:57You're having surgery.
20:58But it's so widespread.
21:00I think that's what makes it so appalling.
21:02And even you look at last night, teams are giving up a buck fifty five, a buck sixty.
21:07And it's just blowout city.
21:08So in a team like last night, Sacramento, you would figure they'd lose.
21:13I think the spread was fourteen.
21:15And, you know, Steph was a little bit sluggish.
21:17He admitted to it after, you know, playing and then second game back is always tougher.
21:21And so you get to that spot and all of a sudden now the Kings are not only in it,
21:25but they're going to win it.
21:26That can't happen.
21:28No, I just.
21:29It's going to be a no from us.
21:30He panicked.
21:32Christy panicked.
21:33Didn't know what to do.
21:35Which is funny because he split the free throws, right?
21:37He did.
21:38Why did he foul green?
21:40Well, because he wanted a guy who'd make him.
21:41Yeah, what if he'd missed?
21:42Right.
21:43Oh, got him.
21:44We have to think about him trying to lose.
21:47And they're not thinking the right way.
21:48Right.
21:48That's right.
21:49They're trying to lose.
21:50So, Seth splits a pair.
21:51I wonder if he said foul Curry and they went and fouled the wrong one.
21:55He's like, no, the one who goes two for two.
21:59Not the one who goes one for two.
22:01That's true.
22:01He splits them and it's tied.
22:03Teach me how to Dougie from three.
22:05Kings go back in front.
22:07Steph with the answer.
22:08Now we're tied.
22:09And, man, it goes back and forth.
22:11And pods.
22:12We got to talk about pods real quick.
22:15Podsy with the three.
22:16I got yelled at by a lovely Christy when that three went in.
22:20I got yelled at when that three went in.
22:21Because you booed him?
22:22You screamed?
22:23No.
22:23No.
22:24You probably screamed at everyone around you.
22:26I half stood up and I went, oh, now it's okay?
22:30Sit down, Mark.
22:31Do you like him now?
22:34Now it's good?
22:36Just trying to figure out the rules.
22:39She's like, don't do that.
22:41And you know what you should have said?
22:44You should have taken it to the limit and said,
22:46And Kaminga only had five against the Knicks the other night.
22:51Just running up and down the aisles.
22:53Kaminga had five!
22:54Exactly.
22:55I mean, pod takes a three and they go down and they don't score.
22:59Warrior ball.
23:00Warriors are up three.
23:01And then you intentionally foul again.
23:03That's where it became like, that's where it became a mockery of the whole thing.
23:08A strategic mistake?
23:11So Cardwell fouls out with a foul on Seth.
23:14And he hits both this time.
23:16So now it's a five-point game.
23:18You figure it's safe.
23:19At that point, you don't have to intentionally foul again.
23:21But just embarrassing.
23:23Even if it was like, just Doug Christie had a brain fart.
23:29Wouldn't an NBA player be like, are you sure, coach?
23:33Right.
23:34Well, that's where you've got to give Doug McDermott credit.
23:37As Evan said, he's the son of a coach.
23:39Yeah.
23:39Yeah.
23:39Especially the 10-year vet who's only in the league by his guile at this point.
23:44That's how you know Doug McDermott, he'll be on the team next year.
23:48Why is he in there?
23:49He can shoot.
23:50It's a foul.
23:51Yeah.
23:51And there was one more take foul later in the fourth.
23:54If you don't make so many three-pointers, you wouldn't have been in that situation.
23:572016, he also air-balled the last one.
23:59He did.
23:59Yeah.
24:00He did.
24:00He got the call.
24:03He did.
24:03Now, a brain fart is what J.R. Smith did in game one of the NBA finals where he didn't
24:09know the score and he went the wrong way.
24:10And LeBron palms up like, J.R., we're going this way, not that way.
24:15That'd be funny if McDermott, Christie's asking him to foul and he goes, what?
24:19He throws palms up.
24:20You want me to foul here?
24:21Or if it was like a classic fourth grade B moment where the kid shoots in the wrong hoop.
24:26And that happens to me a couple times a year when I'm reffing.
24:28You get caught up in the madness and you shoot and you score for the other team.
24:31And then there's tears.
24:33You could have done that.
24:35An image I'll never forget is after J.R. Smith did that.
24:42And it goes to overtime and J.R. Smith realizes what he did.
24:47And they're just LeBron and J.R. Smith are like next to each other.
24:52And LeBron is so mad.
24:56He is so mad.
24:59And J.R. Smith is just like wanted to crawl into a hole.
25:03And because LeBron knew it was over.
25:06They had to win the first game to have any chance in that one.
25:09If Southwest could have purchased that video and done one of those commercials,
25:15you want to get away?
25:16That was the time to do it.
25:17His face was perfect for it.
25:19J.R. Smith, a fifth-year senior at North Carolina.
25:22A&T on the golf team and carrying a 4.0 GPA.
25:26He's a stick.
25:26I thought you were going to say a 4.0 handicap.
25:29I'll try to get some scores for you next time.
25:30But, yeah, J.R. is getting that degree.
25:33Bring it home.
25:34I said, yeah.
25:35Bye.
25:36Bye.
