00:00
So, you watch the Lakers get whacked.
00:05
Basically, the Bucs got whacked.
00:08
The Pistons got whacked.
00:11
The Grizzlies got really whacked.
00:14
Orlando got whacked.
00:16
Miami got whacked.
00:18
Houston got whacked.
00:20
There was one good game, the Clipper game.
00:22
You and I were right about the Clippers, the two and a half.
00:25
The rest of those NBA games stunk, and that's all there is to it.
00:30
And Luka, I thought, played great.
00:33
But LeBron was invisible, and so was the rest of the Lakers,
00:36
as the T-Wolves did whatever they wanted to them.
00:39
Yeah, the T-Wolves, that was a very impressive performance
00:42
by the Minnesota Terrible Wolves on Saturday night.
00:46
The Lakers were exposed inside.
00:48
Their defensive flaws were exposed as well.
00:52
That's going to be a long series, Scott, though.
00:53
I would expect that series to end up going seven games
00:56
when it's all said and done.
00:58
But it was a very anticlimactic playoff weekend, right?
01:02
And I don't want to sound like in my day, in the old days,
01:07
but we talked about it in the NCAA tournament.
01:09
There used to be a bunch of games on at once,
01:11
not spread out as much as it is.
01:13
Dude, there was like one game at a time.
01:15
It was like, did the playoff start?
01:16
I don't know.
01:17
You got stuck with one boring game at a time, Scott, this weekend.
01:20
Right.
01:21
You know what I mean?
01:21
Just one crap game, one boring game.
01:24
Dude, yesterday, you had NHL playoffs going on,
01:28
and you had the NBA playoffs going on.
01:30
Scott, I legitimately, and I know I bet on this stuff,
01:33
and I watch it more than most people do,
01:36
but I was watching a D.C. Defender game.
01:38
It was close.
01:39
Like, it was, you know what I mean?
01:40
It came down to the final play of the game.
01:43
No, like, and I had big money on the other stuff, Scott.
01:46
Like, I had literally, I had big money on games.
01:47
Like, you know, the Devils, the Devils-Kanes game was y'all.
01:51
It felt like, felt like a regular season game.
01:53
I was like, I don't know, is this even a playoff game?
01:56
That series is over already.
01:58
Yeah, it's just anticlimactic.
02:00
You know what I mean?
02:01
It was just, I tweeted it out the other day, yesterday.
02:03
I said, man, it feels like the playoffs start today, Scott.
02:06
The Canadians and Capitals will have some vibe.
02:08
The Kings will have some vibe tonight.
02:10
We're already in the game twos right now.
02:12
And how about the joke, too, Scott,
02:14
of the Lakers playing on Saturday,
02:15
and they're not even playing today.
02:17
It's like, you know what I mean?
02:18
It's like, you know, they're not the champs, right?
02:19
They need a vacation.
02:20
They need some time off to rest and go in the cold tub.
02:25
Yeah, but it's always been this way.
02:26
Like, LeBron plays two games a week.
02:27
Everybody else plays every 48 hours.
02:29
And, bro, he's not the king anymore.
02:31
They're not, the Lakers aren't the champs.
02:33
They're not some, you know what I mean?
02:34
All, we need to stretch out their series.
02:37
They get treated like they are.
02:39
I know.
02:39
It's ridiculous.
02:41
It's literally, it's ridiculous.
02:43
Look at the sky.
02:44
Look at the Clippers.
02:44
The Clippers are on the road in Denver playing in altitude.
02:49
They got to go in the 48-hour run.
02:52
The Lakers are at home and get the extra day.
02:54
It's the same crap.
02:55
Like, what a coincidence that Tampa and Florida, right,
02:58
to get the, uh, where are they starting, Scott?
03:01
I think the Miami Dolphins training camp opens the same day
03:04
that they start that playoff series.
03:06
I mean, it's embarrassing.
03:08
The NFL draft, Scott, is going to start before they do.
