Tobin tries to have a little fun with betting odds... Is a potential Panther to be awarded the Conn Smythe Trophy? Marcos Mixed Bag! Tobin turns his back at Ja Morant, Memphis Grizzlies catches strays from Stephen A. Smith. Jalen Williams discusses dropping 40 in a Finals game. Tyrese Haliburton speaks on playing hurt while in the Finals
Transcript
00:00Let me ask you something, Leroy.
00:01Sure.
00:04I know that if the Panthers win tonight, most likely it's going to mean a Conn Smythe for Sam Bennett.
00:22Or Brett Marchand.
00:24However, is there any chance we get Bob's shutout?
00:35Bob's shutout would do it.
00:37Could Bob work his way back in to the Conn Smythe?
00:43Because I'm looking at the Conn Smythe odds, and Bob was pretty juicy.
00:51Do you think one more shutout is enough?
01:00Plus 9,000?
01:02Four shutouts?
01:04It doesn't hurt, necessarily.
01:05Four shutouts.
01:06You shut out a clincher.
01:08Yeah.
01:09Shut out a clincher and let's say no goals tonight by Bennett.
01:15No assists.
01:16No, I don't want to root for that.
01:17I'm just saying, like, just theoretically, it sets up no assists, no goals for Bennett or Marchand, but the Cats win.
01:24And Bob pitches a shutout.
01:27Or even a one-goaler.
01:29But he's amazing.
01:33Any chance he sneaks in there?
01:36Because the odds say no.
01:39I would say no.
01:40Plus 9,000?
01:41I would say that it's going to be hard when you talk about the amount of goals that Sam Bennett has.
01:52Marchand.
01:52Or Marchand, right?
01:54And, like, this whole final has been more about the great offensive shots and less about the great goalie stops.
02:10But you can't deny.
02:11No, you can't.
02:12I'm just saying who's more worthy, right?
02:18When you look at the way the series has gone, this is not – if it had been, like, five games or five – these first five games have been, like, one-goal games with a million stops and 2-1 and just frantic, then, yeah, I could see that.
02:38I mean, you could take a flyer.
02:43That's what I'm saying, right, baby?
02:45A little flyer.
02:46Yeah.
02:46But that's all I'm saying.
02:48Just a little flyer, my boy Bob.
02:51I know it's probably – I know it's probably going to go to Benny or Brad, and it probably should.
03:00But if there's a shutout tonight and they don't do nothing – I mean, a shutout?
03:05Don't count at long.
03:06I mean, it could be some lasting image, you know, because keep in mind, it's throughout the playoffs.
03:11Bob's had, what, four?
03:13That would be his fourth.
03:13That would be his fourth shutout.
03:15What's the record?
03:17The record's, like –
03:18The record's, like, nine, I think, or, like, six.
03:20Okay, so –
03:21It's not like the record, but that's still a lot of shutouts.
03:24Yeah, but you're comparing it to the best ever, right?
03:28Like, that would have to be –
03:30You don't have to compare it to the best ever.
03:32Schmeethan says, hey, Colonel Sanders, stop counting your chickens.
03:37Oh, God.
03:38I'm not counting chickens.
03:39It's literally betting, Schmeethan.
03:41How is one supposed to bet without counting some chickens and just thinking about scenarios?
03:47Is it greedy for me to do that?
03:50Bob's my guy.
03:51One could say.
03:52Bob is in fourth, though, in my opinion.
03:56Behind who?
03:58The two that you mentioned from the Cats, and you know how these people do.
04:02They're liable to put Drysaddle above Bob.
04:05Well, that's how the odds are right now.
04:06It's Bennett as the favorite, Marchand, and then it's Drysaddle and McDavid, even Steven for the –
04:14But how do you still –
04:15Well, because it's all of the playoffs.
04:17That's why.
04:18And he has, like, 30 –
04:20No, but you've got to count also, like, if they come back and win, and you're going to bet, like, those are going to be the Oilers who win.
04:28Right.
04:28I mean, like, look, if they lose in six, or if they do that again, just throw that award in a fire if you do it again.
04:40Yeah.
04:40Okay?
04:41You know, last year, record break.
04:43All right.
04:43This year, kiss my ass.
04:46All right.
04:48You guys said not to bet Bob.
04:49I won't bet Bob.
04:49Whatever.
04:51How about we mix it on up, huh?
04:55Nobody has any fun around here.
04:58We used to gamble on this show.
05:01We used to be a proper show that threw chili peppers to the wind.
05:06Yeah, and then we only won one time when Jaime Jaquez did something cool.
05:11And I don't know if we won since.
05:13It did a 16-tarlay on the first day of March Madness.
05:16Oh, yeah.
05:17That's right.
05:17That's right.
05:18But I only bet that because I bet spring training the day before because we were doing the show at the Hard Rock, and we pushed.
05:25That's great.
05:25So, we've won two bets in two years, essentially.
05:30Not the best record.
05:31But anyways, let us dive into the mixed bag.
05:38Of course, as we know, everyone is following the Miami Heat and their hunt for Kevin Durant.
05:45When we're not focusing, of course, on acquiring Kevin Durant, we always have our eyes open for the next potential acquisition.
06:07One of the many names on the Tobin list of people.
06:13Don't assume that I have a list.
06:15I don't like that.
06:15Don't say that I don't have a list.
06:17I can name people on your list.
06:19Yeah, Luke.
06:20Oh, we got him.
06:20I would like it if he didn't sign the extension this summer.
06:23That would be nice.
06:24So many people on the list, including this young man, Ja Morant.
06:28Oh, dunks, dunks, dunks, dunks, dunks, dunks, dunks, dunks, dunks, dunks, dunks, dunks.
06:33Well, don't get too excited.
06:35Then they say he's not on the market.
06:38Well, it's not even he anymore, apparently.
06:42According to some tweets, Ja Morant posted, talking about the Grizz more than the finals with these cap emoji sources.
06:55That means fake.
06:56There you go.
06:56Well, thank you for breaking that down.
06:58No cap.
06:59It says, and I'm going to be in that 901 with the bear emoji.
07:03What does that mean?
07:05Grizzlies.
07:06Oh, don't tell me.
07:07That's breaking things down.
07:08Oh, that's the area code of Memphis.
07:09Oh, really?
07:10Everybody says the 901.
07:11Grizzlies, yeah.
07:13Source?
07:15Me.
07:16So Ja Morant is saying he's not getting traded for Memphis.
07:20Correct.
07:21He's saying, leave me alone.
07:23I'm not going anywhere.
07:25That's what a pigeon would say.
07:26That's what a pigeon would say.
07:27You can't use his words against him.
07:30I just did.
07:31All right.
07:32Listen, never wanted him.
07:34Immature.
07:35Okay.
07:35Can't stay healthy.
07:37Dude builds a brick house and he barely dunks anymore.
07:41So never wanted Ja Morant anyway.
07:43Never wanted him.
07:44Never wanted him.
07:45That's crazy.
07:45You know, that's easy for you to say because you do that about a lot of guys who you have
07:50no chance of getting.
07:52Just saying.
07:53Don't come knocking at me, Ja.
07:55Yeah.
07:57Never wanted him.
07:59Never wanted him.
08:00What else you got in the mixed bag?
08:03Yesterday's NBA Finals game six occurred, right?
08:11What?
08:11Five?
08:12What was yesterday's game?
08:13Game five.
08:13Five occurred.
08:14And we had an all-star performance from an unlikely source.
08:22Jalen Williams is becoming a pretty likely source.
08:28He scored 25 and three straight budding star in the NBA.
08:31He was an all-star.
08:34Yeah.
08:34But if I were to tell you name 10 basketball players that are up and coming in the NBA,
08:39Jalen Williams not on the list.
08:40Not because he doesn't deserve to be, but it's just we don't hear a lot about Mr. Williams.
08:46But I'm sure that's going to change after this performance yesterday.
08:49This is him on dropping 40 points in the finals game.
08:52Something more that I'll, like, look back on later on than, like, worry about what kind
08:57of statement it makes.
08:58I think the only statement we have right now is we're up 3-2 and we still have to go earn
09:02another win.
09:03But it'll be cool to look back on later on, and hopefully somewhere down the line I'll
09:09have, like, a more fun answer for you.
09:13Athletes.
09:14Gotta love them.
09:17John Morant has also added, instead of focusing on the performances we've seen from J-Dub and
09:22Shea, TJ and Siakam, how the series is going, we say something negative about a city and team
09:31on a national level.
09:33No love for Halliburton, huh?
09:35No love for Halliburton.
09:37He wasn't very good yesterday because he's hurt.
09:39Limpy.
09:41He's had enough.
09:43There was a lot of time on television.
09:45You guys did just make a big trade.
09:46Like, I would get that.
09:47Sometimes I get that argument where people are like, it's the game five of the finals.
09:52People like to be chic about that.
09:53I think that's a fair argument if you're making, like, goat arguments or what is Dak Prescott
10:00going to do this year?
10:01And it's, like, the day of the finals.
10:03Yeah.
10:04They did just trade Desmond Bain.
10:06Like, the Grizzlies are going to be a bit of a talking point, Josh.
10:08So, you know, learn the media game, dude.
10:11Oh, that's fair enough.
10:14Would you have traded for Desmond Bain?
10:15Not that much, but.
10:18I like Desmond Bain.
10:19I actually thought, like, when the whole Jimmy thing was going on, I was like, I thought
10:24that would have been a natural swap.
10:26He didn't want to go to Memphis, though.
10:28He didn't want to go to Memphis.
10:29And that's actually what I mentioned today.
10:31What John's talking about is Stephen A. went on first take today, and he said that
10:36a lot of NBA players don't want to go to Memphis because it's dangerous.
10:41So that's what John's referring to there, I think.
10:44He's upset that Memphis is catching strays from Stephen A.
10:47Why are they worried about Stephen A.?
10:51Do you?
10:52Well, John Morant's not doing him.
10:56Anybody drop a solitaire joke on him yet?
11:00Next show, I would have been like, oh, you're not playing solitaire.
11:02Stephen A.
11:03Smith said today, NBA players have told him they would feel unsafe playing in City Life
11:08Memphis, quote, cats like Jimmy Butler and others don't feel like it's the safest environment.
11:13I'm talking to local authorities in Memphis.
11:17We're talking about, like, the city is unsafe.
11:20That's what they're worried about.
11:21I thought it was like the status of John Morant could be a wild card.
11:25No.
11:25They're talking about their safety.
11:27They're worried about Memphis.
11:28Yes.
11:30Detroit exists, right?
11:31They know that that's a place where people play basketball, right?
11:34Like, this is not the only place that's.
11:36Yeah, but some places are big enough where all of their stuff is in the suburbs.
11:42So you're worried about your safety?
11:44So you can't.
11:45First of all, you're going to be.
11:46I mean, wasn't one of John Morant's, like, original confrontations with a teenager at
11:51one of his parties or something like that?
11:53Yeah, but, like, this wasn't, like, his life was threatened.
11:56The kid got yappy while they were playing at 21.
11:59They complained.
12:00The kid got yappy?
12:01The kid got yappy.
12:02You called it a jump shot?
12:05Things turned into a scuffle.
12:06I just think that's a horrible excuse.
12:08First of all, you're one of the tallest human beings, every basketball player, that will
12:12be in the city.
12:13Let's start with that.
12:13Second of all, you're going to be in a nice area.
12:16You're going to have drivers.
12:18You're going to have security.
12:19I just feel like to say that the city's unsafe, I don't want to go to Memphis, is
12:23stupid.
12:24That's stupid.
12:25Philly looks crazy.
12:26Have you been to certain streets in Philadelphia?
12:28It looks ridiculous.
12:30Skid Row?
12:30Is that what it's called?
12:31What?
12:32Where's that place?
12:34Skid Row?
12:35Baltimore, maybe?
12:36You know, there's so many places, I feel like.
12:38Memphis?
12:40God bless Grind City.
12:41I would say this.
12:42When I think of tough places to grow up, I don't think Memphis.
12:47I'm saying.
12:49Where I'm from probably has something to do with that.
12:52I would kind of make more like, oh my God, New Orleans?
12:56New Orleans?
12:57Ninth Ward Horde?
12:59You ever heard of that guy?
13:00Hey.
13:01Did they call you that?
13:02No.
13:03But, like, it's weird because, like, you know, when you hear me and Dan Day talk, he just
13:11know where I'm from and he's like, I don't mess with him.
13:13There's a story from October of 2024.
13:17Memphis is considered the most dangerous city in the U.S. to live in.
13:21Jeez.
13:22I actually have heard that, though.
13:24Memphis?
13:25Memphis?
13:27That's crazy.
13:29That's disappointing.
13:31That's disappointing.
13:33Is it?
13:34Walking in Memphis.
13:37I like to think that there was more.
13:40It's definitely a song.
13:41What do you mean?
13:42That's definitely a song.
13:43No way.
13:44It's a song, dude.
13:45Mark Cone?
13:46Yeah.
13:46Okay.
13:47Who'd own my blues with you tonight?
13:52I heard a born rain.
13:54I'm walking in Memphis.
13:59Walking in Memphis, huh?
14:01I don't know things.
14:03Who knows?
14:03And John Moran just threw a fake grenade.
14:09Walking in Memphis.
14:11I'm walking in Memphis.
14:13And Marker's soldiers got Fisdale fired.
14:17Who are you going to go back to the Gasol, baby?
14:21Zach Randolph.
14:25I'm walking in Memphis.
14:27Did you know Justin Timberlake was a part owner?
14:30Oh, that's right.
14:32That was right.
14:33He has a golf tournament there, too.
14:36I thought that's why Jimmy would have gone there.
14:38Remember my terrible theory that I thought that Justin Timberlake was tampering with the heat?
14:44I thought that he would have liked Memphis because he could have been, like, two seconds away from Nashville to go do his country album.
14:51Right.
14:52Oh, well.
14:53Any water in Memphis?
14:54No, right?
14:55What's the problem?
14:56You get a place with water.
14:57You know what it is?
14:58I'm with the blues.
14:59It's true.
15:03I'm walking in Memphis.
15:05I hear that song out at this point.
15:07I'm going to hear this in my head.
15:08He's going to be watching the finals.
15:10Walking in Memphis.
15:13Do you have anything else to expect?
15:15I got Halliburton on deciding to play.
15:18All right.
15:19Let's hear it.
15:20It's going to be a finals.
15:21It's the finals, man.
15:22I've worked my whole life to be here, and I want to be out there to compete, you know, help my teammates any way I can.
15:30You know, I was not great tonight by any means, but, you know, it's not really a thought of mine to not play here.
15:37You know, if I can, you know, walk, then I want to play.
15:42So, you know, they understand that and, you know, is what it is.
15:47And, you know, got to be ready to go for game six.
15:48Yep.
15:51I mean, like, look, that's.
15:52I mean, but that's what people want to hear, right?
15:55Like, people at this point don't really care how much he's hurt, right?
16:01Because I always think of the Jay Cutler thing, right?
16:05We trashed him before.
16:06Everybody trashed him for being soft before they even knew what was wrong.
16:10And that's the kind of the same thing that they would say about Tyrese Halliburton is that he's soft, even though something could really be wrong.
16:20Remember Goran after Goran got hurt, his foot blew up, and then he tried to play in that game six.
16:25He just had nothing.
16:26Right.
16:27But so my question is that or like, so how do we look at that?
16:33Are we looking at that as not a smart decision or, oh, yeah, he's given us everything, even though he's not productive?
16:39I got to be honest with you, dude.
16:40When I saw it was a calf and how many Achilles it feels like there's been lately, I was like, because that's exactly what happened to Durant.
16:48Remember?
16:48Yeah.
16:49They all start off as calf injuries, dude.
16:52I'm telling you.
16:53Yeah.
16:53That was the one thing that was.
16:54Remember, originally they called it a quad.
16:58Then they said calf.
17:00He's not walking in Memphis because he's got a tight calf.
17:06He's limping in Memphis.
17:09He's just walking in Memphis.
17:10He's just walking in Memphis.
17:11But I was like, I was walking in Memphis, girl.
17:14We laid him out in hisese.
17:25Finally, we did something they said.
17:26It was not just walking in Memphis.
17:28The time he was walking in Memphis together for about 12 years years ago.
