Greetings, Welcome in Side hour three The Jason Smith Show with my bas friend Mike Harmon. Gide up live from the Fox Sports Radio studios where the timber Wolves had cut it to eight.
Looked like we could see it. No, no, no, no, no.
Warriors push the lead back to fourteen ninety to seventy six, still four minutes left to go a game the Warriors have played all but thirteen minutes without Steph Curry, who left with a hamstring injury. Not know how long he is going to be out, and it is as embarrassing as it could get for Minnesota to continue to lose this game the way they are. But before we get to that, okay, you know, whenever something happens in sports, it hasn't happened twenty five.
Thirty three years. We kind of have to spend a couple minutes thirty three. I'm now maybe so hitting rewind. Maybe maybe this happened, but I don't think so. I think this was the last, and I think the anniversary of it just happened, maybe a week or two ago. If I have it right, the anniversary has happened.
Okay, you want to know what White Sox baseball is all about on one play?
Well, how about this play from earlier? Tonight game? The White Sox lost because partly of this play in the ninth inning.
His head, man, can it's gonna be favorite second base? The White Socks have played great defense all night.
And that was.
A routine Bigley tough up. Wasn't sure, was it?
He?
Royals TV on the call, Sure was? It was nobody out runner on first top of the ninth inning and easy pop up to second base. Yeah, and Chase Mendroff the ball hits him in the head, square in the head, bounces away. Instead of one out runner at first, there's nobody out first and second. Royals got a couple of runs and they win the game, win the game. Last time that's happened Jose Conseco. Who is you know, nobody's you know, the ideal of a great outfielder made famous in nineteen ninety three, it happened. Outfielder for the Rangers going back a ball it was on the warning track, lost track of it, put his glove up, the ball hit him in the head and bounced over the fence for a home run. Yeah, that's the last time. I don't think this has happened.
Six nineteen ninety three, Carlos Martinez hit the ball the right center field and there you have it.
Yeah, my droff, one.
Of the prize prospects that came over in the Crochet deal, and it hits him in the head. I was showing you the video, Ozzie Geehan, Well, I'll get to talk to you about this. Yea on the White Sox postcame because the White Sox still have a postgame show. Yet they still did the postgame okay, and he's like, if I were a manager, we're practicing under the lights until two am. He's like, it was all fine until the lights came on. And then defensively they had a bad play in the infield, a botch double playball, and then you have this pop up where he just loses it and then it has that look on his face. The eye is as wide as saucers of yes, this will now live forever.
And you heard the Royals announcers. They were laughing. They were laughing while was going on.
No, obviously you're getting laughed at by the Royal.
First thing is, well, the Royals, Royals are actually pretty good.
Yeah, yeah, but just the history of the Royals outside of a couple of blips and Bobby Witt Junior.
You gotta go back to George bretton Dan Quisenberry.
Okay.
Now, the first that, obviously is that my drath is okay, right, because in the head is not a thing.
But he looked like he was okay right after.
I'm stunned because his soul was taken.
I don't know, And look, I know that it's like playing baseball, playing softball my whole life, and playing infield outfield pop ups of all kinds, right, yes, summer summer hit really high and you have trouble. But I don't know how a professional player, especially on a can of corn pop up, how it hits you in the head.
I know how Frothburg, there's only one reason the white there's only one way that works.
I remember when it happened with Kinseka, right, I hadn't been I think I was only an ESPN there was a production assistant for like a month or so, like I think I had just gotten the job and I was a production assistant. I was still like, Oh, my goodness, this is the most amazing place in the world. This is so great. And Canseco gets hit on the head and I remember him saying after the game, They're gonna show that on Sports Center every day for a month, And so that's what we did. We found a way to show it every day, and then like once we got like fifteen days in, I think we had him. There was a meeting where were like, do we show it or do we kind of just stop doing it? Do we really need to keep showing it for thirty days? He said, We'll show it on Sports Center for a month, and I think want to say we stopped doing after like sixteen or seventeen days, But it was a thing where for the first two plus weeks we would Shownseko getting hit in the head somewhere in Sports Center over the course of the show. And of course, because you know, and it would choke and Sako say they're gonna show this on sports every day for a month, and it was like day day six. You know, soundful play by play ball hits him in the head.
You see the replay where where that you've seen a million times where he's kind of closes his eyes and puts his glove up because he doesn't know where the ball is. And we would show it, but we stopped doing it like like two and a half weeks. But Joe judging a fly ball man not the easiest thing. Let's let's face it. Some of the guys are only in the field because they have to play a position.
Yeah, because you can't have bases. You have to catch a fly ball. I understand, I understand the whole Will you go do it. I'm not a professional athlete. No no, I'm not a professional athlete. I'm not making excuses. The catch has to be made.
I'm just saying I've watched it at all levels where you have different levels of proficiency.
I'm never gonna tell somebody the radio show. Come, no, no, no, this is what I do as a professionals. We do as professionals. It's like, this is you know, you.
Catch a fly ball like this is this is It's not like it's not like it was the wind was incredibly bad, or it was raining like it was last night in New York or anything, or was there's something happened somebody tripped and felt this was Hey, here's a pop up and one out.
Yeah.
Yeah, he just loses loses sight of it hits him on the top of the head. Just absolutely ridiculous. But I mean, you coached right, both softball and soccer. How many times you see a ball in the air. Can't judge it either way? Right, soccer or bit or softball. It's like, okay, I'm gonna the first step is always supposed to be back yet and at least that's what I was taught as a kid and all that. But yeah, from my draft this this is gonna be tough. He's got to hit like three eighty for the next.
Month, dude, this is this is And this is why I feel bad because this is his highlight for his career. He's like, you're the guy that got hit in the head with on the pop up. You got to pop up hit him in the head. Now.
Fortunately it's an early May game against the Royals. So it'll it'll drift if.
You go and playing it, but the internet lives forever. No, No, I'm not.
I'm not saying it's it isn't part of his lore.
But what I'm saying is he's got a long career hopefully you know, I speak of that as a long suffering White Sox fan in Southside chicagoan but for for Chase my drop, you know, they're hopeful that he's a guy that has the long career and is a cog to the batting order and a good contact hitter that that has a long run.
I'm trying to distance myself on that play as I can.
Yeah, it's hard to. It's certain moments it's just impossible to come back from because it's always something that's gonna like you're gonna think about this every day.
Yeah, but it's it becomes part of the highlight reel of what is already a lost season in Chicago.
So when you have this infusion, because.
It's like, hey, just call up all the guys they brought in from Boston, but this head of play.
But this play now stands for the entire franchise, Like what give me? From where you're at right. Now, here's the White Sox in one play. That's this play. That's absolutely the problem is this one doesn't stand alone. You could do this.
You could do the one Shining Moment video, the entirety the Luther van Dross, including the musical bridge. You've got enough highlights like this from the last two years. No, dude, nothing like this, Nothing like getting hit in the head with a pop up that you that you misplay a pop up in the infield. You know what, Because I love my mental health too much, I'm not gonna do that, super cut.
But I assure you there are other instances not like this, And here's here's you know, and and to make to make things worse on this.
Blaze, hey, okay, make it worse. The ball bounces out to the outfield. They have a chance to get the runner at side, except the throw from right field goes into left field.
But that's the thing. But that's just it.
The ball hitting him on the top of the head is not the only indignity suffered by White Sox fielders in that moment. Like there's already a petition, Hey, why not just make Frank Thomas the new manager.
Of the White Size.
Hey, get Ozzie gian back out of the studio, let him go yell at these guys and try to whip him in the shape. Like there's theories all out of the place. I'm gonna announce my candidacy while I'm in town.
Get hit in the head in the infield by a pop up? I mean really, that that's that's too high. That that defines your career, Like, that's that's it's always You're gonna think about that every day. That's something that every single day. Yeah, and I get with a pop Yeah, that's that. That that's the that's yeah.
But see now you you've got a career low okay, and you're saying that is my floor. Okay, so I can never touch that floor again. So what you're saying is it's the worst it's going to be as long as you don't get hit in the head with another pop up. Yes, okay, all right, So that's so that's okay, So the long road begins with that first. The rest of your career is a success as long as you don't get hit in the head with a pop up.
Well, it's all relative.
I mean, look, I would like to think that you're looking for a little bit more out of your career for that, and and some longevity and and a few hits along the way. But when I get by get to the bottom, I go back to the top of the slide where I stop and I turn and I go for a ride. Just keep the lyrics of Helter Skelter in your head, because you've hit rock bottom. Now it's time to uh to build up. I don't know, man, this is this is more.
This is more like when Christian Bale just kept falling and the you know, and he couldn't get out of the out of the pit and trying again, and I'm trying again and I'm trying.
But eventually he got out. He's like cheese in the dumpster. I mean eventually he got out.
Eventually he did, but it's still it was it took him a long time. I don't know how you.
I'm really, I don't know how you got to school into it's I.
Mean really hitting the head. And again the Royals announcers are laughing while it's going on.
But this is one where it's like, boy, you really wish the guy, the poor poor kid would have gotten a chance at bat just if nothing else either. It compounds it because he goes flailing into the night, or he gets a hit, or he takes one for the team and they rather so he doesn't even get it another chance.
No, no game over.
Because it's a walk up, because then the Royals going to win in a walk off, they get a bunch single and then after a pop up, two hits in a row wins the game. So you lose the game because of that, where potentially you would have won had you caught a pop up.
Potentially. I mean, look, we can't predict that.
It wouldn't necessarily happen because I mean, you are, after all, the ten win white socks.
Yeah, no, that is true. That is true.
So assuming you were getting all three outs is kind of fool hardy and a bad job of analysis by everybody in the greater world. But it does not take away from the shame bell ringing in the background as we play that.
Well, bearing no more pop ups, they might have won.
Oh that's true. Hit the ball on the ground. Ground.
We need a force cround balls. We need ground ball pitchers. We can't have fly ball pitchers in Chicago. Did you see what happened to Macdrouth last week? We can't have that happen. Can't do it. Meanwhile, Conseko is hitting around, going why is my phone blowing up yet? Nine o'clock on a Tuesday night.
It's not even May twenty six yet, Why are.
They calling me for an interview? I mean it's a couple of weeks. Oh. Oh, because I went on his Twitter to see if your tweet about it. He is not.
Oh.
I thought for sure he would have tweeted about it. Give it time, Yeah, but I got okay. Is he on the Dan Patrick Show tomorrow to talk? Yes? Is he okay? Yes? Yes? I think you're right. I think you're right as well.
In fact, I think he might already be booked for the damn you think so. I think it's probably already right. I bet you that's happened. So that's White Sox baseball play.
That sums it up really quite nicely.
Time is ticking away.
We are going to have yet another win by the visiting team in the second round of the playoffs. With no Steph Curry and a limping Jimmy Butler, the Golden State Warriors beat the Timberwolves.
Ninety nine eighty eight. They take a one game to none lead in their second round series. First time in the history of the game, all four road teams have one game one of the division conference semis in the same season. We will break this down coming up next. And insane confluence of circumstances in the NBA playoffs. Maybe the home teams will never win a game. Everybody know who's making it to the NBA Finals? Keep it next, right, here's must listen radio Jason and Mike Fox Sports Radio.
Not the Knicks.
Knickt are going to the finals.
Just so you know, be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern seven pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Fox Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harmon sing it Fred.
So, yet another second.
Round game in the NBA Playoffs and the home team is still yet to record.
A w road dogs.
All of the visiting teams have won, they have all been under dogs and now second round the playoffs.
That's really interesting. Uh, Knicks are going to the finals, by the way.
Just gotta jump to the conclusions, Matt, Is that what we're doing here?
Absolute hundre but I do have to say this. I do have to say this, because he was one of those guys that would trend every night on Twitter for a good like five years and it was hard to see why. And like Alex Caruso kind of became that guy took a torch, but for a good five year span, like very regularly, Buddy Healed would trend on Twitter time and Buddy Heal algorithm like Buddy Heal it did, and he would trend his late games on the West Coast playing in Sacramento. But I gotta say, Buddy Healed now having a two game stretch that everybody thought was gonna be the norm for him like eight years ago. Oh, Buddy Heal, he's gonna be terrific. He's the missing every single team, he was the missing piece for Buddy Healed is the guy he's gonna break. You can get Buddy Healed the trade. You're gonna win a championship. Remember, you go get him. He was a laker many times you got yes, like seven or eight times he was a laker seven times. You gotta go get Buddy him. You gotta go get Bud Buddy Heal is so good all that you put him in he's gonna be the missing piece, and instead he's turned into a nice ten to eleven point a game scorer. But the last two games, Game seven against the Rockets, the Buddy Healed game, and now another Buddy Healed game. He steps up with Steph Curry being out and he has a huge second half, not a great first half, but a huge second half. His final line twenty four points, seven to nineteen, but in the second half made all his threes twenty four points to lead the way for the for the Warriors. Here also had eight rebounds in three It says, this is like what we thought he was gonna be in twenty sixteen, twenty seventeen, this is what we thought, buddy. Finally he's here at thirty one years old and eight years later, Hey, buddy healed. Look at these two games, ah Man, eight years late. But hey, let's celebrate. You're just at the party.
You made it right, even if you're late.
As soon as someone actually walks through the door, you mad at him, unless they were supposed to bring the drinks or the ice or whatever. If they were just showing up, you made it.
Good for you.
You're not mad at him anymore.
I mean, maybe you had to you know, play you know, game night had to go off in a different direction because you were missing that extra body or two. But look, Buddy Heald showed up in a big way. You had the early start from Draymond Green. He was fantastic out of the gate. Steph was five of nine, was starting to find his shot and get into a rhythm. Jimmy Butler and Buddy Healed in the second half no matter what the Tea Wolves threw at them, and they started to make a run. Second half, it got interesting, right fourth or they made it interesting and then it's an eleven point finale and they were able to run out the clock and dribble it out for the final twenty seconds.
But Buddy Held was fantastic.
You found a lot of space and they moved the ball well, like that was the one thing, right. Pat Spencer playing a lot of minutes with his number sixty one go Cats.
Yeah, and his.
Mustache, right, He's got the mustache and he's not afraid to mix it up. He's head budded people in the past, and he's the guy that's a nice tag team partner for Draymond Green.
And all of this as a protector, but they kept finding Buddy healed.
And no matter what we talked about the Tea Wolves, one of the biggest strength is being able to have length and close out on the perimeter. They failed miserably in doing that and chasing Buddy Heel down tonight. Now, I did say this earlier and again we had callers to the to the Odd Couple about Jason. You said, the Warriors gonna get blown out, like calling other shows to get mad. Okay, well, I appreciate the love, thanks for listening to the show.
They called the Odd Couple to get mad at mad at my take, the Warriors are going to get blown out in game seven, They're done. I have to give the Warriors flowers, and I will I said earlier tonight, Okay you want flowers, Warriors, Okay, win this game without Steph Curry, I'll give you flowers. And now it's like I'm going to FTD. Here's what what do you want?
Do you want me to go to the the supermarket and go when you walk in to the right hand side, there's all the different flowers. Hey, you get the eastern flowers on the saale now because the holiday is over. But now it's Mother's Day, so they can them back up if they have any semblance of life.
Back in them. Do you want the red roses? You want the petty Rose.
Wedding season, It's anniversary season, it's Nick's going to.
The final season. Roses smell like poo poo. No, no, no, my roses smell like roses roses.
I will give the war I didn't want to smell like even even a twelve point This is this is gets into our next part of our conversation.
But first, the Flowers a twelve point lead when Steph went out. Okay, give the Tea Wolves the retsch of the first half to adjust and second half is going to be a different story. And instead the Warriors lead Balloon to twenty before a late third It wasn't even close. It's a late surge got it to to within twelve, right, Like, that's what we saw in the second half. So yeah, the fact the Warriors closed this out with Buddy Heald having another big night, Jimmy had had twenty points, Draymond was great earlier. I think he had fourteen of his eighteen points in the first eight minutes. Like for them to close this game out on the road without Steph Curry. Yes, flowers, all kinds of flowers for the Warriors, because this was a very, very big deal. Not for a second did I think they can hold on in the second. I didn't think they'd have enough. They have enough firepower. But still, for some reason, Buddy Heald is single guarded and he's hitting threes all the time. There's two guys gonna hurt you, and really, Buddy Heel's the guy that's gonna gonna make that lead grow and grow and grow. And still he was able to be open enough and he made five threes. I mean they made eighteen threes tonight. Yeah, I mean quick and fuzzy match. I don't know what the what the Wolves were doing defensively, I don't know what they were doing in transition. It was awful because they would still you'd still wind up with players getting open shots five passes. How do you have the Warriors open for shots without Steph Curry on the floor where they can make them where you're single guarded or you lose a defender. This should have been it, This should have been this should have been Okay, it's twelve points beginning of the second half. We're gonna win this thing by fifteen. But again Flowers for the Warriors because I didn't think they could do it, and they did.
Flowers for the forty four point thirty one was the halftime score. Not exactly the most esthetically pleasing first half you're gonna see for the Timberwolves, and abject failure eleven points in the second quarter and Anthony Edwards and folks that do the box score reading or get a couple of highlights. He finished with twenty three and fourteen. He was absolutely non existent in the first half. Right we talk about Chase Midrath of the White Sox and getting hit in the head. That was the equivalent of it. With his zero for ten to get things started. He had one point at halftime. It was a free throw right before the half ended. Just an abject failure five of twenty nine from three point range where the te Wolves. Overall, you had a decent game from Nazrid. He gives you nineteen off the bench. Devincenzo. I gave you the well, how many fights will he get into before this series is over?
We said it. He want to send it one and a half or two and a half.
What do you think he's taking heat check shots when he's three for eleven from the floor. It's not like Devincenzo. Hey, he's hitting threes and he's taking heat check shots and he's shooting terribly.
Like, guys, what the hell is going on? Anthony Edwards had one point at halftime, like, what the hell is going on here? Man?
No, it was a miserable failure.
And you think about the Warriors, and I know the game seven was not a hotly contested battle. They went and took care of business and didn't have to play forty eight stressful minutes, but they still had to play the extra game. You had plenty of time off, plenty of stats floating around the interwebs in terms of teams records, certainly in the last five to ten years of having that much time off, and you look, they look like a team that had just run six hours of practice. All right, now go play a game like now you just ran us.
We got no lights. I know it's in.
Jump shooting was terrible, Rebounding efforts were terrible. They got they lost every fifty to fifty ball. That first half was a clinic. Steve Kerr whatever he and the Veterans got together to to say, hey, we need to come out and throw the first punch on the t Wolves did not handle it well, no at all.
Look, and we'll get to we'll get to more in depth on the Tea Wolves and really who had the worst lots tonight in a few minutes.
But it's look the Warriors and they win.
Without Steph and the way this broke down, in case you haven't seen it, Steph Curry left the game after thirteen minutes played with an hamstring injury. He was just back on defense. Looked like he made a cut and he grabbed for the back of his left hamstring. He finished the defensive possession, went down on offense, put up a real kind of weakish running one hander where he wasn't moving around well. He went back up the floor, limping even more. Stopped the game. They took him out. He walked out under his own power. The official diagnosis postgame for Steph Curry with his hamstring injury, who did not return to the games, which again is why it's so embarrassing then teams lose this game, is that he is day to day with a hamstring injury. Right, so not a lot but day to day. Big deal that the Warriors won this first game, because now, okay, you think even if we lose game two, we're good enough back we stole home court advantage now and maybe Steph needs a couple of days. But here's the thing with hamstring injuries is that hamstrings generally aren't something that I'm coming back from in a day and a half, right, that's generally something that doesn't happen. Not knowing not be but seeing enough. Hamstring injuries generally it's a few days. It's a three to five days even for the most slight of hamstring injuries, because you don't want to re injure it because then really, then you're done. And the Warriors winning this game bought them some time to say, you know what, Steph, we don't don't worry about game two. Let's take a look in a couple of days and see when you're ready for Game three. So I would say this right now, knowing that you gotta nothing, you got you got a date, you gotta data, data. Rest I assume he will be sent back home ahead of the team, probably going back tonight or at some point for treatment, and he is absolutely missing game two, and he will be if you told me, if you set the over under for games he'll miss at two and a half, I would say he'll miss the next two games and probably back for game four. I'd say he misses game two, he misses game three, and he's back for game four, because that's at the end of that five day window where Steph can feel good. Because even if you're the Warriors, you lose game two, and let's say you lose game three at home, Okay, it's two to one, and Steph will be coming back. Whereas you know, missing one game coming back, that's a lot to push it. Especially when Steph came out of the game. This wasn't hey, I still feel like this was No, I gotta come out. I'm feeling this. I got to come out of the game. So if you said, if you said two and a half, I would I would take the over and say he misses two and then he's back for the third game. But no, it's not really over under two and a half. The over under would be, well, you'll take it.
You'll take the under.
If you're setting in at two and a half, you're taking the under. I'll take he'll miss the next two games. What I want to say is he'll miss the next two games, then probably look for him in game four. I mean, obviously you bought yourself a little bit of time to where you don't have to press it and force him back on the court. You have the other positivity, not only the arrival of Buddy Heel these last two games again, thirty three points in the closeout game.
He'd had forty two through the first six.
Games, including a zero in Game six before Awakening has the huge second half here, Pozenski only had three points.
He was one of seven.
You've got nothing offensively from him, so I would suspect we get a little bit of balance here, right, You get a little bit of a pullback from what Draymond gave you because they're not gonna let him just stand out at your go ahead.
I mean they basically did the Caitlin.
Clark to him, Yeah, take the shot, yeah, And then he hit one, and then they did it again, hit his second, all right, Draymond, and before long you're buried. So you got good minutes, and you got guys like Spencer and Moody that are gonna be able to spell you buy you some some time defensively, at least being adjutants out there, even if they're not contributing necessarily to the final box score rhythms of it all. But yeah, i'd buy some time. And for Steph, I mean we've seen the Internet doctors going well. Could be three to six days, could be three to six weeks, all of those kind of things, depending on how much of a strain they decide it is.
But yeah, I'd approach with caution.
So the way the schedule comes out for the series is they play every other day through till Monday, right, So game game two is on Thursday, Game three is Saturday, Game four is Monday.
So if you're talking about here's Tuesday night, six days for Steph Curry to get back five to six depending your he played tonight, so you're saying tomorrow's first day arrest. So then you're thinking, okay, you're at the end of that. For him to come back in game three, saying all of a sudden Tuesday and his hamstring's better on Saturday to go up and down the floor, that might be a little too soon to be.
To be fair, he's not exactly a defensive stalwart, so he can kind of just kind of creak towards the three point line, maybe now, and you can steal some minutes that way.
Now you want to get you want to get a little outside here. Let's just say it's a little bit longer for him. Okay. The break between game five and game six is four days. Okay, yeah, the old.
TV stuff game play.
Yeah, so it goes game one, game two, Thursday, game three, Saturday, Game four, Monday, game five Wednesday. Right, so it's every other night through till next Wednesday. Then game six is not until Sunday. So you're talking about right now, eleven if they can somehow get it to six games, it's eleven days for Curry to rest, if he if he needs to rest that long eleven days.
Look at you trying to put that cape on, buddy heel. I see what you're doing.
But it's a buddy heel playoff.
Hey, Look for all the Warrior fans, there's your flowers.
I gave you fly, I gave you flowers. Smell man, Well, I didn't sell, but you got flowers. You plant food with him too, to put in they live for a long time, but smell though. Time now to find out what's trending in the wide world. Of sports. But guy has been called the Buddy Healed of Fox Sports Radio.
Hey, Buddy, eight years.
Ago people thought he was gonna be great. It's Steve Desager.
What's trend that took a turn?
Well?
The road teams in the NBA playoffs on Sunday went too and oh, and on Monday two and oh, and tonight two and oh. This is the first three straight days of that in the NBA postseason. Golden State a winner at Minnesota Open a second round series ninety nine eighty eight. It really wasn't that close for much of the night. Steph Curry left in the first half with the strain hamstring Buddy Healed twenty four points earlier. Indiana won at Cleveland again up two games to none, after beating him in a comeback one twenty to one nineteen. Donovan Mitchell scored forty eight points in defeat because out for the Cavs to night where Evan Mobley with a sprained ankle, Darius Garland again with the sprain tow he's missed a couple of weeks, and DeAndre Hunter was out with a thumb injury. Nonetheless, Cleveland led by twenty early in the second quarter, led by fourteen to start the fourth, still up by seven with under a minute left, and lost at home Tyrese Halliburton the game winning three. The NBA's Executive of the Year is Oklahoma City General manager Sam Presty. The Florida Gators gave coach Todd golden and extension through twenty thirty one. To the NHL playoffs.

Back to you, you know, we didn't need all that at the end.
Just final scores.
Fine, just final scores, fine, five to one, Just to final scores five. Thank you, Steve, Wait Jason, you guys lost to the Diamondbacks again.
Yeah, what do you mean again? First time we beat them? Last night? They beat us tonight. Okay, what are you gonna do without your Who is the best record in baseball? It doesn't matter this early in the season, that doesn't matter.
It is twenty three wins for the Mets, and twenty three wins.
If you refuse to do it last week when the Mets had the best, you can't just suddenly.
So now you're going to be answered every question.
No, no, you can't, buddy.
Originally you asked it every hour.
It did get tired. I have no memory of that. I have memory that the answer is the dodge. I wish I had no memory of that.
Coming up next, does Steve Kerr agree with me as far as what could happen for Steph Curry gonna be out a couple of days.
You'll hear from the Warriors head coach. Coming up next right here, and the biggest story in the NBA This is Fox Sports Radio.
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven pm Pacific.
Five second dance party, Ah, Fox Sports Radio. That you Bason Smith's Show with my best friend Mike Harmon. Yeah, so another night, another night where the away teams win both games in the second round of the playoffs.
You want an the odds and what that got you?
Oh?
Okay?
So if I bet every one of the game so far in the second round, and I wanted to bet the visiting team in every game, what odds would I get? We didn't even need the second one of the first game. No, I'll take that to the Pacers. I don't have I don't have the extra Oh okay, all right, so I've got just from last night and tonight Nicks plus three ten Nuggets plus three sixty Pacers plus two forty Warriors plus two hundred a one hundred dollars money line parlay win the game, Okay, just win the game plus nineteen one thirty seven. Okay, so you have a nineteen thousand dollars profit for your one hundred dollars bet.
But how much did you have to return for the next stealing? That was absolute how we had to do it, and that is now the definition of steal. And it would be even more if I said I want to take that into the first game of the second Yeah, in the second round two with the Cavs tonight. No, that's yeah, yeah, buddy.
Because then your payoff is minimum twenty two to one while we start looking at what the average payoffs would be. But obviously a little longer odds because you had some pretty heavy favorites here. But yeah, absolute chaos in the NBA.
So the big story obviously Steph Curry leaves Tonight's game with a hamstring injury after just thirteen minutes, and the Warriors find a way to hold on to win. Flowers Flowers, Warriors, Flowers, Flowers, Flowers. So what is the latest on Steph Curry. How long will he potentially be out for? Let's listen to Steve Kerr who met the media just a few moments ago and talked about what could be next and when we could see Steph Curry next play in the playoffs? Sure particularly tricky to play through.
Are you kind of operating under the assumption, game planning under the assumption over the next twenty four hours that he probably won't be out there game two?
Yeah, we're definitely game planning for him to not not be available on Thursday, but we don't know yet. With a hamstring, it's hard to imagine that he would play Thursday.
What's kind of the I mean, I know it's early and you'll have a day to really think about it, but as you reset the series without him, what's like, how do you find enough scoring?
We? Uh, we have to talk about that. We're gonna give the players the day off tomorrow. Nothing, no film. They needed, They need a day. You know that these games are have been every other day. We're flying all the way across the country. Our guys a retired and they need a rest.
They need the day.
So coaches will meet tomorrow and we'll figure out our plan.
For and we'll call Katie.
Hey.
I know things didn't end great, but hey, what if we can make some moves here?
The NBA clear would like us to make it further in the playoffs and the t Wolves because you know we're the Warriors. En you want to come play? Would you come plain to see dude? Draymond promises he won't say a word to you.
Come on.
He got useful minutes out of Kaminga before it was all said to night.
Here's a great one from uh Draymond Green.
He says he was asked if Steph Curry was good when he walked off the gourdon, you know, saying hey, and Curry says I'll be back.
So they then played the next several minutes.
Without knowing whether he was going to return from the hamstring injury. And this is how he described the squad quote, Robin turned into Batman and Alfred turned into Robin.
Oh, you know, I do remember a couple of Now I'm dating myself, but I do remember a couple of Batman's the old TV show where something happened to Batman.
Yeah, yeah, and.
Alfred had to dress up as Batman. Yeah, And clearly people didn't know that. Well Batman, Okay, he was thirty five year old dude. Here Now he's a seventy year old with a mustache and a white hair and okay, like.
Whiskey musta about taller, yeah, and also about forty pounds lighter.
There was a lot taller, you know. And I'm like, oh, I remember when, like I know, maybe that was when you know, Hey, I have some scheduling conflicts. Well, we got an episode coming up where Alfred's going to be Batman.
Oh, okay, great, we'll do that, all right, Adam West, okay, Wes, I'm shooting.
I'm shooting. I got a movie that I'm shooting, so I'm unavailable these days. I will make out. That'll be when we make Alfred Batman. All right.
That's perfect Alfred, especially when you eventually got the Pennyworth series and the whole other backstory to what Alfred was up to all those years. I can't bury another Batman. How many Batman's bear I buried fourteen Batman's with the little pointy ears, and I can't bury Master Bruce. I just want to know that you got out. I just want to know that Steph will be all right. And I won't have to take any watch because Buddy Heal is only going to make so many shots. It's Buddy Healed after all.
Yeah, but that meant Buddy Heald was Alfred in this equation the butler.
Yeah, okay, Buddy Heal because he's clearly calling himself Batman. Yeah that's true. No, you're right, you're right. Is he calling himself Alfred? And Jimmy goes from being Robin to Batman? I think Jimmy Butler goes to being Batman. Okay, so yeah, is.
Draymond then Draymond. I don't think he's gonna call himself the butler unless he really notes the backstory.
This is where we need to know how much Batman.
And alfha and you know, being part of the ikying like Draymond might be like when oh, when Superman comes in Superman, or he could be the Joker.
I mean, Draymond as a joker would be you know. Yeah, but I know, but I think I think Jimmy goes to Batman.
I think that that should have been the follow up. Jimmy goes to Batman, Healed goes to Robin. I think that's how I think that's how it is kaminga oh uh
