I don't want to do recency buys.

I don't want to overreact. But what I watched last night from the Warriors rock it is really troubling if you're a Houston fan. So let's start with this. I didn't follow my own advice. I've always said in the playoffs, just take the experience and I said, you know, the Warriors old and tired, they're small, and I'm going to take the Rockets in six or seven and they may still win. They're easy to get enamored with. They're so twitchy, they're so athletic. In Houston, yeah, I forgot. They can't shoot, and three of their starters this is their first playoff series. So they look the part when they get off the bus. But if you take away transition points from Houston and make them play half court offensive basketball, man, they look lost. Jalen Green, what is he? Yeah, he's athletic. Congrats, it's the NBA. Who isn't. He can't shoot, He's not up here point guard. He can't put them at that position. I'm n Thompson, great athlete, don't trust him shooting. I love Shangoon, the center from Turkey. He's got got a guard's touch. He's a little like Jokic feathery touch. But you can't depend on him to beat Butler, to beat Steph Curry, to beat Steph Kirk. Because there's a coaching advantage with Golden State as well, and it's a prime example like Jalen Green and Aman Thompson are a prime example, they didn't go to college. They went to make some money over time Elite G League and they and they.

Made some money. But what are their games? What are their games like?

Made some money. But what are their games? What are their games like?

Yeah, I mean I thought they both panicked. And again they're fun to watch. But playoff basketball is half court basketball. You don't get all the freebies because everybody's playing hard, the coaching is better. You're playing the same team over and over and over, so the fool's gold and easy baskets. It doesn't work that way. Everybody is equally arrested. And I watched Houston and my takeaway was, man, do they need kd or even Devin Booker? They need buckets in the half court set. And conversely, here are the old Warriors state Kerr. We're not gonna play Kaminga. We don't need the length. We're gonna stay with our small ball lineup, no panic even in the fourth quarter, just run through our sets. So both teams have an identity. But I think Houston has to tweak their identity, and I thought the Warriors would have to play cominga more than they wanted to do to tweak theirs. Now Houston dominates the offensive glass, so they're gonna win games in this series. They played horribly in the first three quarters and that game got down to about four points. But you see how valuable playoff experience is the referees. We tell you this. Every year playoff basketball looks different. The referees want the players to win the games. Okay, so they swallow the whistle. They're gonna allow physicality. All these young players looking for the whistle. Bruh, you're not getting in the playoffs. You're not getting a whistle over Steph Curry or Jimmy Butler or Dre Green.

You're not.

You're not.

The veterans know how to manipulate refs. And Golden State, by the way, is twenty and one all time when they win the first game of a playoff series. I was worried about the old team playing Houston Rockets' home court advantage, size advantage, energy advantage, And then I watched that game and my only question, now, do the Warriors have the stamina to get six or seven games out of this series and then go in to another series. Their best players are all in their mid thirties. But and the Rockets, again, they're so big an athletic they'll win games. And Jalen Green has to play better, although it's very clear the coaching staff of the Rockets did not trust Jalen Green late. They had no interest in him being part of the offense. So Fred Vanvliet will shoot better and play better. But I don't know. I looked at this and I thought eighty five points was a season low. And they're going to get into the nineties. They're going to have better games there. Obviously, playoff basketball is all about adjustments.

But Houston's got a problem again.

But Houston's got a problem again.

They look great off the bus, but half court offense, they're really young and what are they They're just really athletic. And then you're watching the Warriors. Just stay patient, stay with their sets. Every time Golden State comes down the floor. Late, they got a good look.

Man.

You can count on one hand how many great looks Houston got when they needed it.

It's our job to, you know, to try to help them along a little bit here and there. And I've coached Steph Curry and Draymond Green for eleven years.

So of course, we've got a lot of playoff winds.

So of course, we've got a lot of playoff winds.

So I do worry about the Rockets going forward. I may have just missed on that. Now let's talk Lakers losing the opener of Minnesota. I'm not worried about the Lakers, I don't think. But JJ Reddick welcomed the playoff basketball. He didn't pull enough levers. So unlike the Rockets, the te Wolves can shoot. In fact, they had forty two open threes. They just got great looks and they hit a lot of them. But it was more about the Lakers lack of energy and urgency and especially physicality. You just can't waiting for the Lakers to kind of shift into a second gear, and they never did. So Minnesota is a little like the Baltimore Ravens of the NFL, where they're at their best sometimes playing ugly, really physical. A lot of tough guys play with a ton of physicality and energy, and it's not always pretty. You know, the Lakers when they're at their best with Luke Lebron Austin, it's pretty they're getting to the free throw line. But the Lakers big three, Lucaea I scored a bunch of points. He had one assist. It can't just be points. Austin Reeves totally out of rhythm. Again, Tea Wolves beat up on him physically, and Lebron you know, I thought he did a job. He's kept waiting for the game to come to him a little bit, and it's like, Bro, you look disengaged. And so it was just ugly. And remember the Tea Wolves have played Luca before. This is a really good coaching staff. So and the other thing that makes you wonder about the Lakers. The Lakers not everything from the regular season carries over, but a lot does. Like Houston didn't shoot well in the regular season. Houston didn't shoot well yesterday. The Lakers are a bad road team. They were sub five hundred on the road and they just lost home court advantage. Minnesota, like those Ravens, they can win on the road. Why because physicality in all sports like baseball and pitching, physicality and basketball and football travels.

All right.

All right.

So the Minnesota is going to give you a very consistent effort. Not to mention Aunt Edwards. You know, unlike John Morant has grown improved, he's more refined, he's pacing his tempo, he's a patient player.

So like maybe it's just a bad matchup for the Lakers.

So like maybe it's just a bad matchup for the Lakers.

I think we're going to get a more physical, engaged Laker team. That's what I think. So no sign of panic. If I'm the Rockets though this morning, I don't know if we can beat I don't know if we can beat the Warriors with our half court offense. The Lakers can run, the Lakers can shoot, the Lakers can play defense. But it worries your little Jackson Hayes didn't play much, so Reddick doesn't think. He didn't give him any minutes. And the Minnesota is big to begin with. You take Jackson Hayes off the floor, it's like, do we got a match up problem for the Lakers?

No reason to panic, But here is JJ Reddick.

No reason to panic, But here is JJ Reddick.

After we were mentally ready. I thought our spear it was right. I thought even when they made runs, our huddles were great. You know, the communication was great. I'm not sure physically we were ready and if that makes sense, And really when they started playing with a lot of thrust and physicality, like we just didn't respond immediately to that.

I'm not sure physically we were ready and if that makes sense, And really when they started playing with a lot of thrust and physicality, like we just didn't respond immediately to that.

And that if you watch that game, this was an easy one to scout if you had an assignment to scout in the game, You're like, Minnesota took the game to the Lakers, and they wanted to be a little ugly, they wanted to be physical. You know, they got size, they got tough guys. So that was totally Minnesota's game. And then when you add in them shooting as well as they did, so you know, Lebron said after it and maybe it just takes us a game to get ready. That's the entirely possible. Odds makers are usually not terribly wrong. I mean, they liked the Warriors to win it. I'm watching that game thinking, yeah, they had it right. But Fincenzo, Julius Randall and Edwards, a lot of dudes didn't always have to be pretty. But it was not only physical. It was physical and pretty for Minnesota. So that's a little troubling if you're a Laker fan. They played tomorrow night in Game two. We have all sorts of stuff that has developed. This is, of course, Draft week. Daniel Jeremiah, fifty minutes from now, former NFL scout for three different teams.

He's the one that label that.

He's the one that label that.

He said, it's not a star draft, it is a starter draft. I had dinner with a NFL offensive coordinator over the weekend. And there's a lot of good players in this draft, a lot of good players. There's just not a lot of star power at the top. And we know Tennessee's taken cam Ward number two. We know Cleveland number cam Ward's going number one in Tennessee number two. Cleveland's taking Travis Hunter. The draft kind of starts with the New York Giants, and they've done a ton of homework on Jackson Dart and Shador Sanders. So my guess is probably take a defensive player. I'm just guessing. I could see if they would take Shadeur. I think I would take Shadeur Sanders if I was the Giants, but I think they would. I also think the New York Giants because the draft's going to sort of start with them because we know the first two picks. I think if I was the Giants, I would take Calls and if somebody wants Shador Sanders, and I think they should. It's never been more of a quarterback league. There's seven or eight teams that desperately need upgrades at quarterback, and Tennessee's going to solve that with the first pick of the draft. So This is a very very fun week. Coming up next, the best playoff series, the most even series is Denver and the Clippers plus Cam Newton sounds off on a decision by a young man that took money over common sense. We'll talk about that coming up live in La It's the Hurt.

Listen.

Listen.

I don't love the decision because Tennessee's got one hundred and forty nine million dollars of annual revenue. They have better coaching staff, better facilities, better players. I mean in the SEC they've won nine plus games in three straight seasons, so the coaching staff's pretty good. UCLA in the last decade has won nine games once so and the market did not materialize when he said I want more money. Now they're arguing. The family say it's not about money, but.

I don't know.

I don't know.

You know, it seems like, why would you leave Tennessee. Well it's about the offense. Well, Tennessee's putting their last couple quarterbacks in the NFL. That's all I know. Tennessee quarterbacks end up in the NFL. Doesn't mean they end up being as good as you know, Jaydon Daniels. But you're playing the SCC, you get to the NFL. They're doing something right with quarterbacks. So this feels like I said it last week, quarterback dad is now pageant mom, And this feels very much like you know, dad made a big decision.

I don't love it. Cam Newton voiced his opinion on this.

I don't love it. Cam Newton voiced his opinion on this.

Whoever advised this kid to sit out and chase in hopes for more money is a fool because the reality is this, And I'll need to tell everybody about what NIO was and is intended for. It's just to make your college experience comfortable. This is not forever money. You have to understand that, even though you're talking about me. Billions and millions and millions of money.

By the way, a couple million bucks in LA. Welcome to the forty five percent tax bracket minimum. I mean so that stuff. I mean, trust me. I live out here a smoothie cash about sixteen bucks, a good one Tennessee at probably Cosha is six and there's no state tax there. So the money goes nowhere in La. Uh, and it goes a long way. But I mean, I just to me, if I'm a quarterback, if I was coming out of high school or a young quarterback, there are programs I would go to, and it would be programs that put NFL offensive linemen in the NFL, like you know, Ohio State, Notre Dame, and you know Georgia. I'm going to a place where I get protection, where I've got, you know, really good playmakers. So I'm not sitting there running for my life throwing it. Like guys that are unrestricted free agent level guys in the NFL.

That's Tennessee. That's not UCLA.

That's Tennessee. That's not UCLA.

Usually LA put some guys in the NFL, but Tennessee's we had a football program, So I wish him well. It's certainly a big ad for Ucla, there's no question about that. But the market did not materialize. There was not a huge market. Belichick turned off. I talked to another person at a top ten program, really turned off by and this was such a public story. It's going to stick to the kid, so he's going to have to really play well. A lot of this stuff, we don't see how the sausage is made. It's kind of ugly. This NIL stuff, it's kind of ugly, but we don't see how. We don't really see what happens. But this was so public that it's going to stick to the kid. So he's going to have to be great at UCLA. And UCLA doesn't have great talent, all right, So in the Big ten they're I mean, I'm all throw it out off the top of my head.

What are they?

What are they?

The seventh to eighth best football program Tennessee is as well funded as anybody in the SEC that isn't a big boy adult football program. So I don't love to move. Chasing money is folks, even in the NFL. You don't make real money in the NFL to your second contract, and Cam points out this is not forever money in the NIL. It's to make college more reasonable and more comfortable and pizzas on me. If you're looking to get rich in college and you're just gonna take the biggest check, I think most of the time that's not going to be that's not going to be the right fit. The football is about fit and about coaching and about support systems, not just about get me mine. You know, talk to guys who have played in good organizations like the Eagles and the Packers and the Rams, and they go chase money in free agency.

The seventh to eighth best football program Tennessee is as well funded as anybody in the SEC that isn't a big boy adult football program. So I don't love to move. Chasing money is folks, even in the NFL. You don't make real money in the NFL to your second contract, and Cam points out this is not forever money in the NIL. It's to make college more reasonable and more comfortable and pizzas on me.

This is the headline news on the NFL draft kicks off Thursday, and one of the biggest question marks is in the top five whether the Browns and Giants will both pass on taking a quarterback now.

Chicken of who's going to pay the biggest price and how much they love one of these quarterbacks. Reference Giants have Danny, Tommy Devido, James Winston, Russell Wilson, Browns obviously Deshaun, Joe Flacko, Canny Pickett.

Abdull Carter at four because I know they really like Will Campbell. They've done a lot of homework on him, the offensive tackle out at LSU. But Abdill Carter is viewed as a generational player. And even though the Patriots have Harrow Landry, they have Keon White.

To pass on Abdul Carter at bour would be a big, big deal.

To pass on Abdul Carter at bour would be a big, big deal.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I think NFL people that I talked to this weekend, they view cam Ward as a sure thing. Travis Hunter is a sure thing, Abdill Carter is a sure thing, and then the draft becomes should be a really good player. I don't think Shanor Sanders and most quarterbacks are viewed as a sure thing. So the Giants are sitting there thinking, well, Abdul Carter's a sure thing, he's going to start day, want to be a really good player, and they're absolutely right. Shanur though, is a quarterback and we'll touch the ball sixty five times a game. He'll win us games. So I mean, the Giants have had a good d line for years and can't sniff the playoffs. So you can get all the defensive ends and rush ends you want. You've got to move the change, right, you got to move the sticks. So it's a tough situation where the Giants can take a sure thing but it won't change outcomes, or they can go in a sixty to forty proposition but it will change outcomes.

And I and this matters to me.

And I and this matters to me.

You start looking at this division now, Philadelphia with Jalen Hurts, Washington with Jayden Daniels. You can't have a ham and eggera quarterback. Right to me, you go get a Shanor Sanders. You're get You get four or five years now to load up the roster because you have a you have a lot of ground to make up on Washington and Philadelphia. You're not doing it with Abdual Carter. Yeah, that's one guy that's worth if he becomes a pro bowler, worth half a point a game.

You can get a pass rusher in free agency. It is almost impossible to get a franchise changing quarterback other than the draft. Now, Shandor Sanders might not be a sure thing, but he feels Taylor made for New York, and I know that that building, there are people in that building that really like him.

I also think there are people in that building I've been told it like Jackson Dark.

I also think there are people in that building I've been told it like Jackson Dark.

Yeah, yeah, Jackson Dart's also interesting. Maybe second round, maybe you come back up the Giants. That's where the draft starts. You said it earlier, That to me is where the draft starts at three. Sticking with the draft, the Raiders Pete Carroll hold a sixth overall pick and have been heavily linked to Ashton Genty. Speaking at their pre draft pressor GM, John Spytech was asked specifically about drafting the Boise State running back Thick to listen.

Together our draft, you think about it, Him in particular makes it so special to where he might be be careful one of those LEAs.

Together our draft, you think about it, Him in particular makes it so special to where he might be be careful one of those LEAs.

I'm gonna be careful about talking about any specific player, but you know, more broadly to the running back question, I mean, we just saw Saquon Barkley just change the Eagles in one in one year. Now they had a great team around them, and you know it was adding an elite player. And I think when you sit where we said. I mean, the idea is to add elite players at any position. Yeah, there's a lot there to take in.

Yeah, there's a lot there to take in.

I think he made I really do. I think if I said this last week, I did a if I was general manager, here's who I would take. And I think once you committed to Geno Smith and Chip Kelly, it makes drafting Ashton Genty redeemable because Geno is a very capable quarterback on play action translation solid run game. Well, the Raiders have no run game, so you got to solve that. I mean, I wouldn't be surprised if they get Ashton Genty in the first round and in the fifth or sixth round they go get another back. So Geno Smith is two quarterbacks. There is time to throw with a prominent run game Gino, and this is a little Sam Darnold too, and then there is frenetic throwing on third and long and then Sam and Gino become really ordinary players. So this to me is not just about solving running back. It's elevating Geno Smith, who you're in a relationship with for probably two years.

What's interesting is you go back to the Anthony Richardson year, Pete Carroll was taking selfie's with all the quarterbacks, including Richardson ends up taking Devon Witherspoon with a fifth pick. This could very well be a smoke screen. You never really know what Pete.

Oh it is real, Johnson nonsen.

Oh it is real, Johnson nonsen.

Yeah, Will's not a burner, right, Will's any guys terrific? Terrific for god, Yeah, you're not gonna put He's not shutting people down. Will's just the best corner in this draft. We don't have a superstar corner. We have Michigan as one, Texas has one. They're really good players. There's a lot of good corners, but there's no superstar. So I don't think And I am a huge Will Johnson fan. I have him going nine to the Saints, but I Ashton genty to me. You know, you could roll the dice. I do think the Raiders would consider this. The Raiders would consider it.

Listen.

Listen.

Number six is a little rich. We got to get better as a football team. We're gonna trade down, yeah, yeah, like maybe only to eleven and then you get another draft pick. And you take the North Carolina running back Hampton. I could see that if I had somebody this weekend tell me they thought he was a better version of Joe Mixon.

And you take the North Carolina running back Hampton. I could see that if I had somebody this weekend tell me they thought he was a better version of Joe Mixon.

Yeah you know, yeah, yeah, you mentioned Hampton also, then then you could jump right ahead of Dallas because you worry about Dallas taking him at twelve because they need a running back. The other part, too, is a big part of Gino, Gino wanting to be a Raider, the relationship with Pete.

Yeah you know, yeah, yeah, you mentioned Hampton also, then then you could jump right ahead of Dallas because you worry about Dallas taking him at twelve because they need a running back. The other part, too, is a big part of Gino, Gino wanting to be a Raider, the relationship with Pete.

But also Chip Kelly.

But also Chip Kelly.

And if you think about Chip Kelly, he has always loved great running backs. In fact, Lashawn's McCoy's two best years were with Chip Kelly. They could be extremely creative with a running game. Regardless of if the Raiders take Genti at six, if they hold that pick, Colin, they got to get at least one, maybe two running backs. To your point, we talked a lot about Kaitlyn Clark last week a lot. Specifically, she was snubbed from Time one hundred's most Influential lists.

Colin, you love this. We all know how influential Clark has been in here's some more proof.

Colin, you love this. We all know how influential Clark has been in here's some more proof.

According to fanatics, she had the second highest jersey among selling among all basketball players behind only Steph Curry. That put her ahead at Tatum Lebron, Michael Jordan, Wimby Luca.

What an absolute disgrace that she was not most influential. She should be in the top twenty.

What an absolute disgrace that she was not most influential. She should be in the top twenty.

Yeah, I mean I said this last week. Michael Jordan obviously was influential. But Magic and Bird get a lot of credit for many believes saving the NBA. I don't think they saved it, but I mean the Magic and Bird are icons for a reason. They had a rivalry and they played in college. So Michael didn't save the NBA. He elevated it. Michael made it global. But Tiger Woods, as Jack Nicholas was getting older, you know, golf needed a guy Tiger like doubled purses.

Like that's changing a sport.

Like that's changing a sport.

I mean, golf would have always survived, but guys, you know, guys like Mark o'meira figured that out very quickly. Hey, everybody, this dude is getting We're gonna all get rich on this guy. And he's a great guy. So Tiger changed a sport. Caitlyn changed a sport. They used to have commercial flights.

You mentioned Clark two and how cool mj was.

There isn't a confidence about Kaitlyn Clark that you just don't see and we haven't seen in WNBA. There's a swagger to her, not just her game, but her confidence. And actually see some of that with Paige Becker. So I'm really excited about where the league is going. But the Kaitlyn Clark O mission Colin was catastrophic for any list.

Yeah, Time Magazine thought too much. Don't outthink the room. Influential. It's influential is the word you used. She is the most influential WNBA player and I'm not even sure who is second.

Through the years.

Through the years.

I've always had a problem with six or four or under point guards or guards that can't shoot, that are hyper athletic Derek Rose, John Wall Westbrook. It's like okay, I'm like, okay, you can't shoot, so you're gonna have to score at the rim, and that means you're gonna go up against Biggs and you're gonna get injured. And Westbrook has been a player that's super talented but can drive me crazy. He doesn't have a lot of he's got one gear, which, by the way, sometimes you need that gear. And he's gonna be a Hall of Famer. I would not doubt that. But it was very interesting. Nuggets Clippers. Clippers out played him for about three quarters, and then the Nuggets made a decision in the fourth quarter, we're going with Russ And you got the full Russell Westbrook experience, hero baskets, insane energy, turnovers, questionable decisions, but man, you got rebounding. Man, you got energy, and for a six to four guy in a league of people that are seven feet tall, you can't miss him. So he's got this quality where when you watch him and he's on your favorite team, you're holding your breath a little. But I thought Denver needed his energy, and the coaching staff deserves credit. They're like, we're playing him and we're getting him out there, and I thought he was incredibly valuable. And again, if you run down his plays, it's a lot of hit and miss. He was one for six from the field in the first three quarters, and the Denver staff is like, now we're gonna go with Russ and this team is so Yokich dependent. It's a one man show kitch that they need another gear. And I like Jamal Murray, but he's never been an All Star. So it sort of illustrates Denver's dilemma that there's so much about Yokich and Murray's a good player, but he's not a great player that they don't trust Michael Porter clearly he's not getting minutes late. And so you know, you're sitting around there like, Okay, we know Yokich is great, who's giving us energy?

If Jamal Murray's just a little off and we you know.

If Jamal Murray's just a little off and we you know.

We can't ask him to go bucket to bucket with Harden and Kawhi, And so it's like, let's put Russ in. And I thought, I still like the Clippers in the series, but you gotta be fair in this business. Is that you know players that can drive me crazy. Westbrook's rebounding his energy, his production was absolutely necessary, and he deserves credit. If he doesn't play it in the fourth quarter, they don't win that game. I really believe that they don't win that game, and you know, again it was the full Russell Westbrook experience. But you know, we can't always use the hammer here. Sometimes we got to be fair. And I don't think they win the game without him. And I don't you know, he could play in game two and have several key turnovers. He plays full speed all the time. And I've said this in a world of load management, Russell Westbrook is ready to go on the floor any time you ask him.

And here's the Denver coach after the Goo win. Russ is Russ.

And here's the Denver coach after the Goo win. Russ is Russ.

Defensively, he was absolutely incredible and he was playing free safety out there. I thought a lot of the reasons why the turnovers happened, even if it wasn't him for seen it. Just the way he was roaming around and impacting the game, you know, it is great for us. And then offensively, you know a couple of times I thought he attacked we maybe we could have pulled it out and executed. But that's what Russ does. That's he's going to play in attack mode. So I don't think he's going to change after seventeen years.

Yeah, Russell Mania is perfect. He's just gonna play one speed. He's going one hundred miles an hour. And guess what playoff basketball is? Intense basketball, and Denver, the rest of that offense outside of Jokic sometimes can get a little targic and a little stale. And Russell's never stale. And I always have believed that the really profound players in this league, when they're on the floor, they jump off the TV screen.

NOW i do Think fred Van bleet will play and shoot, better BUT i thought their size and athleticism in the home courted man advantage and the energy would play a. Part but in every crucial possession down the, STRETCH i just felt better every time with The warriors' offensive, possession and The warriors also did a great job down the stretch offensive rebounding to Secure game one In. Houston Where colin was, right, WELL i Predicted Aaron rodgers would be best served waiting until the draft is over to make a, commitment and according to last, week he's in no hurry and is not making a. Commitment AND i don't think it's a bad, decision by the, way Asked Kirk, Cousins he got burned on.
