I went to bed after Game six and I felt like I played basketball that night. I woke up next morning, woke up Friday morning. I wish we could do the show Friday morning. That's how That's how happy I was as an NBA fan, Like, outside of everything else, everybody had so much to say. It was so much whining and complaining about this series going into it, about the small markets or the ratings are going to be low, and this has been. I can honestly say this has been the best NBA Finals I've seen since probably twenty sixteen Caves and Warriors and Lebron came back from three to one, and and the Warriors live to us. This is the best finals I've seen since then.

It's because of the small markets. The ratings haven't been what I'm sure the NBA would like, but the competition of it, it's been fantastic to get a game seven. And honestly, if this was on a neutral court, I think ninety percent of people would probably pick the Pacers. But Oklahoma City at home and the way Indiana has done it, you have so many guys scoring.

Man, What I took from the game the other day, Man, the one thing that really concerns me. You know, it concerned me the other day watching Game six, but going into Game seven, it just kind of seemed like to me that the Oklahoma City was just and just like playing at this lethargic pace from an effort standpoint, and that worries me about them, you know, going into this game seven, even though they're.

They they sent me the message, as you know what, there's no way y'all gonna beat us at home on a game seven. We're gonna take the night off, not go out and give our best effort to win the win the World Championship in the game six because we know that we're gonna win a game seven on our home floor. Let me tell you something, there's no guarantee that the Oklahoma City Thunder is gonna win this game tomorrow. And from from based off of what I saw.

Defensively, what Rick Carlile was able to do, just S G.

A and and uh Jayalen Williams, they should be worried because I really think that he's gonna unveil a defensive strategy on S G. A and Jalen Williams that he's been holding holding the ace in his back pocket this whole time, and say I got something really special that these guys haven't seen from a defensive standpoint that's really going to mess them up. And I really think that They're still a young team. If they don't see these shots go down and build some confidence early, you could see the untangling of this group on a national stage, because I think that they are so confident at home, they don't believe that they can lose. But being on this stage, if you don't get that confidence early and see some shots go down, now in the back of your mind, you're thinking, man, there's a possibility that we can lose this basketball game.

Remember the twenty sixteen Finals in Game six in Cleveland when when Lebron and the cast they snatched the Warrior soul in that game, they ran them out of the gym, and you remember that infamous locker room Mama where Lebron said, you know they f'd up, they messed up. You know, they messed up mentally. That's a good point because I know Okac was not sleeping well on that flight back to Okac from any They couldn't have been they couldn't have slept well that the last couple of nights. So the question I asked is which Miles Turner is going to show up though everybody else.

We got two Major League Baseball games going on right now, LeVar. The Tampa bay Rays up five to one over the Detroit Tigers. They're headed to the bottom of the fourth THNK Just underway at Yankee Stadium, the Yankees and Baltimore Orioles are scoreless. We had a trade today in the National Hockey League, the Chicago Blackhawks acquiring forward Andre Brokowski from the Seattle Kraken for forward Joe Veleno, the back to back Stanley Cup champion at Florida Panthers meanwhile holding their exit interviews with the media today in advance of tomorrow's Stanley Cup parade. We're among other things, they've been addressing their epic partying exploits, forward Matthew Kachuk telling reporters quote, we were the best team on the ice, and I guarantee we're the best team off the ice too. The party is not stopping at time soon, defenseman Aaron Ecklad adding we just won two Stanley Cups in a row. We're not toning it down. And finally, Panthers head coach Paul Maurice confirmed that he will be wearing a T shirt at tomorrow's Stanley Cup parade depicting his pet cats, Penny and Poppy. And finally, in a related story, Cups and I were actually invited to attend tomorrow's Stanley Cup parade. I don't know if Cups is planning to attend as well, but apparently we fit right in with the Panthers partying culture.

But don't you have so much momentum, doesn't it feel like the game should be tonight? I mean, for me, it feels like it should be tonight. I mean the whole scheduling of it. There have been debates on it. We talked about it on Pros and Joe this week. It just but always, are you guys okay with the way the games are scheduled? Do you think that they I feel like they should be quicker, Like we should get like one day and then play it.

Three days in between for the NBA Finals, I believe when they switched it back from the two to three to two, uh you know format, it's always been three days in between for the NBA Finals, especially for the traveling team. I don't understand why there's three days in between this game because it's uh what they did travel So that's that's what it's been in the NBA for the last decade or how or I can remember three days in between?

But does it make sense?

But does it make sense?

It does somebody make it makes sense?

It does somebody make it makes sense?

It makes sense that this is the problem. The first round series should not be seven game series. That's the problem is went back to the five games, go back to five games. When you go back to five games, that's gonna cut off right there within itself.

Yeah, to me, it should be a five game series.

I like the fact that the guys, if you're gonna travel, so now you know they got to go back to Oklahoma City, they get two days off, and so we don't want fatigue being the reason the team loses.

Both of these teams are young.

Both of these teams are young.

Fatigue is not gonna be a factor, but in previous finals that may have been the case, and so I don't mind the length of it. I would just say the first round, go to five games, go to five games in the first round, best best out of five, and that right there is gonna probably shorten it by a week. Finals would have been over last week. But me personally, I love it. Get me something to watch because that that period between when the NBA Final ends and then till the preseason games, that's a long time. So stretch that thing out as long as.

I would just say the first round, go to five games, go to five games in the first round, best best out of five, and that right there is gonna probably shorten it by a week. Finals would have been over last week. But me personally, I love it. Get me something to watch because that that period between when the NBA Final ends and then till the preseason games, that's a long time. So stretch that thing out as long as.

You want to.

You want to.

I think I think where they really the ball let with these finals in the last couple of years is when they took like Father's Day was like last Sunday, right, and we didn't have a game on Father's Day. And you remember the legendary Michael Jordan moment where he lost his father and he won the championship on Father's Day and he cried in the locker room. That's one of the greatest finals memories and moments I had as a child watching the NBA and this past Father's Day, Like for everybody who has their father in their life, it would have been a great time, a great moment to have these finals with a series like we're getting right now, to have it on Father's Day. But going through what DJ said about the five game first round, I think the NBA kind of got scared away from that a couple of years back when some of the heavy favorites got got like a first round scare and they didn't want. You know that, it looks good for Mark's madness when the good teams lose in the first round in the upsets, But I think the NBA is so star driven they kind of got paranoid when some of those top seeds almost they did lose a couple of times, so I think that's why we see the seven game series thing. But I agree labar, like the momentum coming off of game six, like come to next morning and it's like we don't need but like one or two days in between.

Yeah, man, I'm like, I feel like today you would be gearing up to watch that game. Tomorrow you're gearing up for your work week. I mean, unless you lazy. And I ain't trying to hate on nobody, but if you ain't got nothing else better to do with yourself, And Sunday is no different than Monday, Tuesday, I get it. But for those who work, you know, Sunday is a preparation day.

Now.

Now.

Granted it's summer and your kids ain't in school, so you ain't got to drive nobody school, but you're driving the summer camps, different things like that. You still got things you got to do during the course of your week, and Sunday is like that reset day. I just felt like today is an exciting day, like you got a free day. It's like it's one of those good days and you could actually stay up late and not be an old person and fall asleep, snooze off. You actually could be excited about you know what the day feels like. You know, have a good early day, you might even want to go out to like a little spot to watch the game. I mean, that's how it should be feeling to me. But that's just my take on it. Let's let's transition into this one. Guys going into the game, y'all mentioned they got to travel, so so Indiana's head into Oka se uh to play the final game against the Thunder. What are you saying in the locker room right now? What are you saying on the on the practice court? Uh? If you're the coaching staff of these teams, If it's the Pacers, what are you saying to them right now? And you know Carlile he is you know he's got he's got a championship, he's got he's got the experience here over okayc and their coaching staff. But if you're Carlyle, what are you saying? And if it's the the Thunder, what are you saying as the coaches to them going into this game?

I mean, it's simple, man, play your heart out, leave it on the court, have no regrets when the game ends, win loser, draw. Did you get it everything that you had? And if you did that, you should be satisfied with yourself. That's the thing that I play as hard as I could for as long as I could. When you give all that you have, especially at game seven, you win this championship, You're going down in history. So you don't want to damn that I really play hard on this possession. You go as hard as you can. When you tired, you come out the game, and you get right back in there. The best players need to be at their best. But to me, the biggest thing is control what you can control. We control how hard we play. We can control that effort, and that's all I want.

Listen, if I'm recalled loud man and I'm gonna practice court today, I'm gonna continue to give my young guy's confidence. Andrew nim Hard and Aaron Smith. When Andrew nim Hart is aggressive, the Indiana paces all different team offensively, and where Andy Smith is garden and he's knocking down on the occasional three pointer, there dead tim Uh. They are different offensively. But if I'm Rick Carlile, I'm challenging Miles Turner in front of the in front of the team.

That's what I'm gonna do.

That's what I'm gonna do.

I'm not gonna put him down in front of the team, but I'm just going to stress to him how much we need him if we want to if we want to hoist the Larry o' brien Trophy tomorrow evening. If you go out and play the type of basketball game that you think that we know that you can obi topping, continue to be yourself and pass y'all, you're on your way to a finals MVP. If you go out and have one of these games that we know that you can. And Tyre's Halliburton, we all know what he can do when he was on the floor. But if I'm okay, see the coaches probably say, you know what, we don't want the excuse of everybody saying that youth is the reason why we lost this game. Tomorrow, there's no excuse, and Jalen Williams is really going to have to play well tomorrow.

It can't just be.

It can't just be.

It can't just be SGA going out and having thirty five forty points and Jalen Willie and then j dub only having fifteen to sixteen. Like the other day in game six, Alice Caruso had zero points. He had no points, and check Hongrem, I don't think he's gonna he's gonna have more than four points tomorrow. So I'm really gonna be I really gonna believe it's gonna be a dogfight. But I just really think, man, it's gonna come down to defense. And when it comes down to defense, I know everybody has been raving about how good the OKC thunder have been all year, one of the best defensive teams in the regular season, But that effort that they put out there on two days ago, they just kind of sent the message to me that they believe that they can turn it on whenever they want to, and it don't work that way, especially in the game seven. Man, we got one game to get to a trophy, and there's no guarantee. It ain't no guarantee that SCA's going to go out and be great tomorrow either, there's no guarantee. But I just don't hope that they go in to this game tomorrow over confident and if things are not working out earlier, that these young guys go in the tank.

I think the coaching, I think the coaching matchup is just as intriguing as the players on the floor. Going into Game seven. You got you got Mark Dagnaut, who's a mastermind, tactician respected around the league, one of the youngest head coaches. But Rick Carlile, he's been in these deep waters before. He went into Miami, back when it was American Airlines Arena. I was at that game. I've never been so sick in my life. The Dallas Mavericks came into that building and they snatched lebron Boss Steve Wade, they snatched the Miami heatle soul, and Rick Carlile was the master mile behind those games, that game plan. And I do think he has a wrinkle he had. He had some notes, he's been taking notes watching film. He has some wrinkles in his back pockets that I feel like the ok See thunder having seen That's why I'm hoping we get a close game. But I think his team is going to really, really really hone in and listen to what he had to say because he's been here before.

Like I said, he's been.

Like I said, he's been.

To the finals in twenty eleven, he won it all, and I feel like the game plan should be you can pretty much tensel in SGA for thirty four points tomorrow. If I'm a better tomorrow, I'm putting HJA for at least thirty two to thirty four thirty five points tomorrow. That's what Rick Carlisle should be telling this team. We can't stop that guy.

We can.

We can.

All we can do is can test this shot, hope he make a miss, right. But these other guys, Lou Dort, Aaron Wiggins, the Crusoe, those guys, we cannot allow them to have another Monster game. Crusoe didn't do anything last game, but the game a couple games before he had twenty. Aaron Wiggins has had, has had two good games this series. They have to cut out those other guys. Isaiah Joe. You can't one of these others to like take your legacy. And that's what you could you imagine tomorrow if if somebody out of the blue like Heart and Stein or somebody has eighteen and twelve, that can be the tip and scale of a game seven. And that's the most dangerous part about the game seven is any random player can show up.

So I can't wait for this game tomorrow.

So I can't wait for this game tomorrow.

But one last thing I will say, I just don't want to see the refs try to decide this game.

But one last thing I will say, I just don't want to see the refs try to decide this game.

Oh my god, don't let Scott fark.

Oh my god, don't let Scott fark.

Lastom players play last up players side the finals. We don't want to see any fishy calls. And I haven't seen who the revereree Crue is foster. It might be Tony Brothers. So all I'm gonna say to y'all, if y'all are listening to NBA reps, if you are tuning in right now, just let the players decide this tomorrow.

That's all we ask.

That's all we ask.

All right, well, we'll do our picks on next segment, up on game, down on game. But I wanted to switch gears real quick and have the conversation about ring chasing. I think that's been the latest conversation surrounding Lebron James. I'm curious the debate has been the debate. It's kind of old, it's kind of stale, But I'm just curious about the whole idea about ring chasing. Is the ring chasing aspect based upon how you're able to be viewed, you know, legacy wise, you know, reputation, accolades wise.

Is it.

Is it.

Just the fact that Michael Jordan has more rings than Lebron James that people may continue to have the argument and use that as leverage against them, Because you got to be real here, If we're basing it off of that, then Bill Russell has to be considered the greatest basketball player of all time. And so if you're ring chasing, no one has done well enough to catch Bill Russell yet. But so it kind of to me, is there a qualifier here? Is it MJ's seven rings? That is is the purpose for ring chasing?

Like, give me some let's get some perspective on this.

Well, when you say that, I get confused because I thought we were all ring chasing when we stepped on a quarter, when we stepped on the football.

I was ring chasing, That's for certain.

I don't understand how you know they can sit there and say it's not important to a legacy or whatever the case may be. This is why some of these great athletes before us have the legacies that they do, because they were world champions.

That confuses me.

That confuses me.

I mean, obviously, you know, there's been a lot of a lot of great players that have not won championships that deserve to win them. But I just kind of get confused with that. The whole narrative of winning World championships don't mean anything.

Can we be honest here, LeVar?

Can we be honest here, LeVar?

Once Lebron James started to get close, close and close and started closing in on the goat conversation with Michael Jordans, that's when everybody woke up and decided to care about ring talk.

I remember a time where Barry Sanders, who, by the way, is my favorite running back of all time in NFL. Right, he never won a championship, and yeah, I was sad as a kid watching him lose to the Redskins and the playoffs.

I was sick.

And then Alan Iverson, my probably second all time favorite player even before Lebron came to the league. I was devastated when Iverson lost those finals to the Lakers, but it didn't change how I viewed Iverson or Barry Sanders. And I hate that it's become like half of the fans and half of the media's fault where they put this pressure on players to win rings. That's why we saw Kevin Durant go to the Warriors. It was a good basketball fit, but Kad knew, Like, Yo, everybody is saying, I don't have any rings, so I have to I have to succumb to the pressure of the outside.

Noise and go get me one.

Noise and go get me one.

And I hate that we were robbed at this moment, but it has sucked for a lot of players like you got the like I said, Iverson, Barkley, John Startin's of the world, Carl Malan's like, these were great players, but they won't be mentioned in the same category. I hate that it's like that, but true competitors and people who are real pearents of the sport they watch and they understand these.

A lot of remember great football players that that have come before us, that I've played with, played the Gaints, played on teams that their their careers was their careers was so great that you don't even think about them. You don't even judge him off or not winning the championship because the game of football is is different from basketball because there's eleven guys. When he's haide of football, heast oide of the ball. Yeah, there's some any things that can happen, but basketball, I can.

I can agree with what you're saying, Cuffs. You can control that, I really can. But I also believe that what.

Cuff said was h lebron is saying it's about ring culture.

Cuff said was h lebron is saying it's about ring culture.

I believe.

I believe.

I think that once he got to a place now and he's not going to catch Jordan or Kobe, he's kind of down playing it back, saying why are we talking ring culture now? But if he would have got there, it would have been a whole different reddit from him. That's what I really believe.

I think it's a hard one and I guess the point I was trying to get to whether you think Tom Brady is more talented than Damn Marino, which I don't. He is not more talented than Dan Marino was when they were playing the game. That's just my assessment on it. But regardless, if that were the case, will you take and think that the person that won more rings is the better player? It should be looked at as the goat versus the one or like Barry Sanders. You could take Barry Sanders or compare Barry Sanders to any great running back that's won a Super Bowl. Take him and Smith, put him at Smith in the conversation. Are you going with Emmitt Smith because of the records and the rings? Or are you going with Barry Sanders because Barry Sanders was clearly more talent or you know, was more talented.

That's a lot man. Anyway, I guess the point is does the ring? Do the rings have to matter if you're in the goat conversation? Does did Jim Brown have Super Bowl rings?

Hey?

Hey?

Lebar last point about the rings? When I was a little kid in the barbershop, this is back when Isaiah Thomas was a Piston, Larry Bird Celtics showtime laker. This is the mid early eighties, right. I never heard any men in the barbershop ever say anything about the goat. Who the goat was? The legacy debates who had the most rings? I am telling you, Once Lebron got close to Michael Jordan's throne, that's when all the gold posts started moving left and right, and it's actually insane because I feel like Loki Isaiah Thomas. If we're going to be real and watch the film Isaiah Thomas, Zeke Thomas from Chicago, Illinois, Detroit Pistons. Isaiah Thomas, he's low key the greatest pure point guard ever. But people slight him because he has he got two rings. Mattic has more rings, Curry has more rings. But if you go by the eyeball, that's a lot of people would say Isaiah Thomas is better than Magie Johnson. And he did it at six to two.
