Listen, no spoilers, I'm not spoiling.

Listen, no spoilers, I'm not spoiling.

I'm not smiling.

I'm not smiling.

But it was just like it was amazing. Okay, Yeah, I was in Salt Lake City over the weekend. Alex and her Dodger Blue Dodge is at a rough weekend. We'll talk about that. Yeah, I was in Salt Lake City. Youth sports, a lot of fun. Salt Lake City is a beautiful town. I'd never been, but I was asked this past weekend, Jason, what's the scariest movie you've ever seen? I said, well, that's easy, the final eight minutes of Duke against Houston, because Saturday night, folks, I was a wreck, a total train wreck, which is what the Duke offense was down the stretch.

Folks.

Folks.

Listen, we're gonna talk of Vechkin, We're gonna talk Lakers, but we have to open with the devastating Duke loss over the weekend. At the final four, Duke in total control of Houston and just blows it down the stretch in unforgettable fashion, one of those games where you just left scratchingad. I'm gonna bar with some dads watching it, and I could tell things were not trending well, even though Duke was up fourteen with that eight minutes lefty they got Cooper Flag, the best freshman on the planet, and yes, I will be glazing Cooper Flag later despite all the hate we're seeing online. I asked for the check from the bartender. I was like, I got to get out of here. I don't know. This does not look good. And folks, Houston shocks Duke, and I mean stuns them. And it's shouldn't be that much of a surprise to some of us because like all college basketball season, what have we talked about. It's the veteran teams using the transfer portal to bring twenty two to twenty three twenty four year olds onto the court, and those are the teams that have thrived, but not Duke. Duke rode three freshmen in the starting lineup all the way to the Final four, and their youth showed folks on Saturday night. Now, Fox Sports asked me to do a mock draft, and I did one, and I had three Duke freshmen in the top twenty. They've got a great team. But what did we see win Saturday night? The veterans, the KG Houston veterans, They lean on twenty three year old LJ. Cryer, who had just an unbelievable six point play during that comeback. Who do they lean on a twenty three year old Roberts who hits two clutch free throws and the Duke youth showed, Folks, I'm sure you've seen the numbers of the meltdown. It was, oh my gosh, we're up nine with three minutes left. We're good. Cooper Flag hit that three from the baseline and I'm going crazy, Jay's life. We're going to the title game. And then it just fell apart. The youth show. Look, they can't inbound the basketball. Folks. You guys remember the greatest singular play of the NCAA tournament so far was Houston Purdue two point eight seconds left and Kelvin Sampson, the veteran older coach, dials up an amazing play. They get the dunk and Houston prevails over Purdue. Fast forward to the Final four Saturday night, young coach John Shire, and we'll get to John Shire in a moment, because if you want to blame anybody, you can blame him. He couldn't inbound the basketball. It was painful to watch anybody who's coached basketball at any level or played basketball, you know in bounds, Hey, you got some stuff dialed up.

You know.

You know.

Even now they're going with a football play where you just have four players running down the court. Duke had nothing. It was painful to watch. Here's Kelvin Sampson, the great Houston coach, talking about culture and veterans in the victory.

Even now they're going with a football play where you just have four players running down the court. Duke had nothing. It was painful to watch. Here's Kelvin Sampson, the great Houston coach, talking about culture and veterans in the victory.

There's something to be said about having a culture that's based on how you win. You know, there's some nice when the ball goes in and teams don't have defensive players like Duke does, or don't have defensive players like this team does or that team does. But our team is they think they're going to win every game they play, you know, irregardless of what other people think or say. They think they're going to win.

But our team is they think they're going to win every game they play, you know, irregardless of what other people think or say. They think they're going to win.

Yeah, I listen, Kelvin Samson with a masterclass down the stretch, never quitting. Now, I do listen. You never want to crush anybody when they're young. And John Shire aka White Mike, Yes, that was his nickname in high school because he was in Chicago and he was honestly getting buckets like Michael Jordan. Shire just had a brutal season and our staff dug up an incredible stat I had not seen all weekend until this morning. So in close games this season, Duke was one. In three close games are five points or less, they were one and three. Folks, Duke lost four games all season, so in the close games they kind of sort of melted. Now, some of that is due to three freshmen in the starting lineup. I watched college basketball all season, unlike some people, And I remember in November they gave it to Flag down the stretch. I think at the time he was still technically seventeen, and Flag kind of struggled against Kansas, couldn't get the bucket and they lose. But since John Shire took over in twenty twenty two, in games five points or less, john Shire just eleven and twelve. Now, I know what you're gonna say, Jay, you crush Lamar Jackson. Why can't you cross John Shire? And listen. If you want to blame somebody, you gotta blame Shire. And I don't want a nitpick, but Sion James number fourteen on Do Good Player, he hit his head on the hardwood. It looked brutal. He goes down and you're like, oh, that guy's definitely can cuss. You gotta get him out. He barely sits out, and what happens a couple of minutes later, dribbling Baseline drubles it off his leg out of bounds turnover, and then Shire had him inbounding the ball and he looked so rattled, like he didn't know what to do, and it was just like Shire, some situational awareness. Please. Now, I know there's a segment of Houston fans out there upset that I have not really talked about the Cougars. I've been focusing on Duke, and that's because Duke lost the game. Houston didn't win it. That's really what happened. And we'll get to Houston because they played Florida tonight. A little preface. I'm on Florida. I like the Gators tonight. It's gonna be a great game. Houston obviously a tough team. But Folks, when you take down Duke and then you got to go play two nights later, you've just slayed the dragon. I think there will be a little bit of a letdown, and I will I'm kind of close out on this note because I know that people want Jason. You got a bag on Cooper Flag. Why was he fading away like Anthony Davis. Let me just remind you guys, coach k had RJ. Barrett and Zion Williamson ok top five pick just a few years ago and they lose in the Elite eight to Michigan State. Okay, so it happens these young guys struggle in March. Barrett and Zion were freshmen. Cooper Flagg, can Nipple, by the way, worms Kennip in the second half. They were young, they vanished. Congrats to Houston. Now let's get to a positive basketball story from the weekend. And you know, I gotta talk about the La Lakers. Oh my gosh. So I was at Lakers Warriors Thursday and it was a bit of a funeral at the Crypt. It felt sad. The Lakers just looked out of swords. Luca had his worst game with the Lakers Thursday night, and all of a sudden, it's like, oh, you're come the Warriors. We'll get to the Warriors. How the Lakers bounce back. They beat the Pelicans Friday. Nobody cares irrelevant game, So Sunday they go to ok Se Mighty Okac everybody's favorite they got the MVP. You're gonna win like sixty five sixty eight games. And what did the Lakers do? If you guys were watching, if you switched over when Yukon started destroying UH South Carolina, you watch the Lakers. They put on a clinic and I know everybody loves to talk about loud Dort and the Dorcher chamber. Well, he tried to guard Luca yesterday and Luca was getting basically a deep tissue massage at a day spot. He roasted loud Dort. Chit Holmgren had no chance that step back three over the seven footer plot out. I mean, folks, the Lakers had one of the great three point shooting days in franchise history. I think they tied a franchise record for threes. At one point in the first half, they were twelve to fifteen. But why was that happening? Because Luka Doncic owns the Okac thunder. He does. I'm sorry, I hate to admit it, but Luca with Dallas last year extinguished Okase. It was a masterful series for Luca, and he did the same yesterday. They tried the hard doubles, Luca made the right pass, They tried the big guys step back three just in their face. Loud Dort won on one. I know, hey, Cowherd's buddy Bill Simmons is like lou Dort defensive player of the Year. You show that Lakers tape. He didn't do a damn thing. He couldn't stop Luca. Now few can. But I at want to hear about OKC going what is that like? Twenty two and one against the East? Who cares show me what he's doing against Luca? And again in these highlights, you put anybody on Luka Dancic and it was game over. Now at some point we're gonna have to talk about SGA. I don't again, I don't want to be in the business of Monday morning filling in for Coward and I'm out here hammer and players. Okay, but folks. A year ago, I saw one of these ai internet videos where somebody had sliced like, you know, fake voice over Anthony Edwards talking about OKAC, and in the video they were like free throw merchant SGA and I thought it was the funniest thing I'd ever seen, so I started using it on the show. Cowhard loved it. He laughed, and it became a running thing. I would say it all the time. Now I'm not saying I started free throw merchant, but it's out there now and everybody calls SGA a free throw merchant. Well, JJ Reddick, who is a young coach with the Lakers, made it a point, we're not letting SGA get to the free throw line. Okay, for the first time in three years, the presumptive MVP, I would give it to Yokich, but that's just me. The presumptive MVP. SGA did not shoot a free throw. And here's the best part. You had to be watching closely. So at one point, SGA takes Luca baseline and does that fadeaway thing where he kicks his leg out and the ref blows a whistle and then Luca's like no, no, no, replay, replay, begging JJ Reddick Redicks like, all right, we'll replay it. What does the replay show SGA was not touched, He stuck his leg out and drew the foul. Luca Dante to victory. And I know it's a small point, and it's one data point in a huge game in a big season, but that proved to me that SGA is the kind of guy who gets all the calls. And if you watch closely, he kept driving all game long, and he would miss his shot. I think he was like twelve of twenty five. He would miss his shot and look to the ref, where's the whistle? What's going on? He got no free throw attempts. The Lakers sent a message, and I know everybody's jay who cares about this game. It does okay, fair enough. If you want to say it doesn't matter, it doesn't count, that's fine. Here's the reality. The Lakers want to avoid the playing. They've almost done that. They needed a split against OKAC. They match up again tonight. They needed a split. Now the Lakers got their victory, they were probably out celebrating. I wouldn't be shocked if we saw like the Lakers backups play or a lot of minutes for Bronnie and you know, the end of the bench. Guys. Maybe they get a lot of effort tonight. Lakers sent notice to OKAC. Hey, guys, we're not afraid of you. Now. Some of us have been saying that for months. OK see really really good regular season team, but I don't know if they can do it in the playoffs. Folks, We've seen James Harden dominate a regular season. They had to change rules so that James Harden couldn't do that pull through and keep getting to the line. And what would happen every postseason? Inevitably there would be a James Harden meltdown game where he couldn't get to the line, wasn't getting the whistle, It got in his head. I saw that from OKC yesterday. This is a really good regular season team. I don't know if they can do it in the playoffs. And that's why I like the Lakers, who everything well and what in their favorite yesterday right? The Warriors lose, will do them soon. The Nuggets lose, Lakers win, Lakers headed for the three seed, headed for the Western Conference Finals. Sorry, Houston, I hate to do it. And it's just gonna be a glorious postseason run for LA. Here we got the standings on the screen. If the Lakers get the three, they would well hopefully not face the Warriors in the first round. Hopefully it'd be Minnesota, anybody but the Warriors, and then it's Houston and then they're onto the conference finals. But a great, great Sunday for the Lakers. Alex I don't want to get too excited, but listen, it's Monday, it's the Lakers. It was a great win.

Yeah, I listen, Kelvin Samson with a masterclass down the stretch, never quitting. Now, I do listen. You never want to crush anybody when they're young. And John Shire aka White Mike, Yes, that was his nickname in high school because he was in Chicago and he was honestly getting buckets like Michael Jordan.

Alex I don't want to get too excited, but listen, it's Monday, it's the Lakers. It was a great win.

I like that we get excited because there's so many doubters on the Lakers, and I like to remind people this is a Lakers team that has one of the greatest players of all time and Lebron James more experience than anybody on that court. And then you have the future of the NBA in Luka Doncic and Austin Reeves like they have a power three, and everyone was like, eh.

Whatever, like washed, No, they're not.

Whatever, like washed, No, they're not.

Lebron is not.

Lebron is not.

He is one of the best players on that court, if not the best, especially late in the game. Fear the Lakers, because if you're facing them in a series in the playoffs, they are the team to make total.

He is one of the best players on that court, if not the best, especially late in the game. Fear the Lakers, because if you're facing them in a series in the playoffs, they are the team to make total.

I'm so glad you mentioned Lebron. I have it in my notes. I didn't even mention it. Lebron didn't attempt to free throw yesterday. He didn't even have to attack the market at all.

I'm so glad you mentioned Lebron. I have it in my notes. I didn't even mention it. Lebron didn't attempt to free throw yesterday. He didn't even have to attack the market at all.

That was beautiful for him though, so that he could rested and play a lot tonight.

That was beautiful for him though, so that he could rested and play a lot tonight.

Folks, Lebron I did look this up. Is only the second time this season. He did not attempt to free throw. The other was in a blowout over the Spurs, so Lebron not driving. He's rested, folks. Late Lakers are dangerous. Alex there come up to next here on the Herd, Folks. The Golden State Warriors picked up a few awesome wins last week. Everybody excited. I was starting to fall victim.

Jason McIntyre in joined by Alex Curry, Alex Wearinger, Dodger brew. Even though it wasn't a great weekend for the Dodgers, it was all around it. It's okay, it's gonna be fun.

It was great, you know, and you got to put mad respect and we talked about it last hour. Bryce Harper's comment on only leader's complain about what the Dodgers doing, and then they came out and they took the series against the Dodgers. That's what real competitors do, so respect.

Yeah, we got Jordan Schultz coming up soon, folks. This was a first for me in the morning meeting. You know, we got the great morning meeting with our staff and I said, guys, to do you have any Cowboys material? Because I have some jew I have what I think in my head it's an amazing line about the Cowboys. But but we don't have any Cowboys talk today. But it's fine. Jordan Schult's coming up. A lot of Chador Sanders stuff. It is smoke screen season in the NFL Draft. I'll just preface it with that. Some Jaylen Milroe news. Yeah, my guy, I see you out there. Bear Flika. I know you don't love him. That's fine. We'll do that coming up. But first we need to start this hour with a quick brief Cooper Flag discussion. Okay, I'll preface this. I am extremely bullish on Cooper Flags and NBA prospects. I think he's going to be a superstar. Okay, not everybody on staff Fields the same way. And I saw a lot of weird dislike for Cooper Flag Saturday Night online and in person. Guys I'm hanging out with, He's a little overrated. Okay, so let's start with Saturday Night Flag. Twenty seven points, seven boards, five assists, three blocks. He leads to can practically every single statistical category that matters. He's a six nine eighteen year old freshman. And if you remember a few weeks ago on the show, you know, Cowhard keeps pushing this. I see Jason Tatum in Cooper Flag, and I get that. It's it's not a bad comparison, Duke.

Yeah, we got Jordan Schultz coming up soon, folks. This was a first for me in the morning meeting. You know, we got the great morning meeting with our staff and I said, guys, to do you have any Cowboys material? Because I have some jew I have what I think in my head it's an amazing line about the Cowboys. But but we don't have any Cowboys talk today. But it's fine. Jordan Schult's coming up. A lot of Chador Sanders stuff. It is smoke screen season in the NFL Draft. I'll just preface it with that. Some Jaylen Milroe news. Yeah, my guy, I see you out there. Bear Flika. I know you don't love him. That's fine. We'll do that coming up. But first we need to start this hour with a quick brief Cooper Flag discussion. Okay, I'll preface this. I am extremely bullish on Cooper Flags and NBA prospects. I think he's going to be a superstar. Okay, not everybody on staff Fields the same way. And I saw a lot of weird dislike for Cooper Flag Saturday Night online and in person. Guys I'm hanging out with, He's a little overrated. Okay, so let's start with Saturday Night Flag. Twenty seven points, seven boards, five assists, three blocks. He leads to can practically every single statistical category that matters. He's a six nine eighteen year old freshman. And if you remember a few weeks ago on the show, you know, Cowhard keeps pushing this. I see Jason Tatum in Cooper Flag, and I get that. It's it's not a bad comparison, Duke.

Guys.

Guys.

People love the cross cultural, you know, black white cop. I get all that, and I see the Tatum. I see a little bit of Tatum other people I've seen Ak forty seven, Andre Kirilinko. I'm sure people are scoffing at that. But like a five tool guy who can do it all. So remember, I asked chat GPT, what's the best comp for Cooper Flag given size, length, measurements, scoring, blah blah blah blah blah, and Chat GPT, which is according to Michael Scott. You know, if chat GPT existed doing the office, did never wrong. Kevin Gartnett is the best comparison for Cooper Flag, and I love that comparison personally. But remember when KG came out, he was wiry, he was straight high school to I think he was Farragut Academy in Chicago to the pros, and Kevic Garnett was like a young, skinny guy, kind of like, uh, one of those animals that's just born and is like struggling to find its footing. It took him a couple years and then he was a beast. I think Cooper Flag's gonna have a more stronger impact than his rookie year, for sure than KG. I do believe the ceiling is massive for Cooper Flag. Now, interesting question I'm gonna post to you the audience. Okay, if I told you over under one and a half career MVPs for Cooper Flag, you're going over? Are you going under one and a half? Steve Nash has two, Shack I think has one, Kobe should have more. I'm going the over on Cooper Flag. Guys over one and a half MVPs. I'm probably going irrational here, but I want to remind you you could go find this on YouTube. Last summer USA basketball camp. Yes, J mackint was a scrimmage settle down, Okay. Cooper Flag's leading like the B team against the starters and here at oh, we got the footage here, so if you that play that we just read. Gosh, his staff is good. Okay. Cooper Flag brings the ball up the court six' nine and he's being guarded full court By Drew, holliday an elite, defender a superstar in THE. Nba Drew holliday is a. Superstar whin's the started with The? Bucks goes to The. Celtics when's the? Time like he's really really. Good Cooper flag brings it up Against Drew holliday's. Pressure he gets the switch Onto Anthony. Davis, Okay Anthony davis's a great. Defender look at ad here we go pull up what three right in his? Eye That's Kevin garnett. Type i'm, Sorry Kevin durant type. Stuff, guys don't sleep on. This Cooper flag as a one. LOSS i need to remind you. Again Zion, williamson who was a freak coming out Of duke generational, Talent, okay he ain't sniff and NO. Mvp he. Can't he's eating his way out of the. League he cannot Handle New. Orleans he can't stay. Healthy Cooper flag's gonna be a better pro Than.

Adjustments they go down by sixteen, eighteen they stay with the regular. Rotation they're not closing, out they're not, defending they're not doing they're not making any. Adjustments, NOW i don't want to take anything away from what The lakers, did but it was a clear reflection of one team that is locked into its position and the other one that is still fighting tooth and nail to stay out of the play in and for the. Seating SO i think that's a lot of what you saw in terms of it being, Lopsided but there are some elements that The lakers present their size on the perimeter and how you're gonna match, Up how are you going to match up With jokic And lebron size, Wise, Yeah, luca and that remains to be. Seen SO i think there are some issues That Oklahoma city has to. Resolve but they also like they didn't throw their best pitch at The lakers defense, Either and when guys did Go i'm, like oh, Wow like he just went By, luca he just went By, austin he just went By, Lebron and so that all of that is going to play.
