Welcome to pardon my take. Today is Monday, May 22nd. Hank heads or tails?
Tails.
It's a heads. The Celtics are dead.
Celtics Tough game tonight, Hank.
We were going to maybe lead with Brooks. I left it up to a coin for you.
You don't really need to ask him to call heads or tails. It was heads we were going to talk about the Celtics, tails, we're going to talk about Brooks.
He also got that wrong. So Hank, ever since the lotto ball, well, he did win that series against the Sixers. But ever since you avoided the Soul Patch, you've had a rough skid here. Down 0-3 is Game four a must win?
Yes, I don't know that they're even going to show up, though. To be honest with you, it was shocking. So we had two games we got to talk about Friday night, the Grant Williams game.
You were in the building, I was in the building, I saw it with my own eyes, and so it was. The Celtics look like maybe they were going to win.
Grant Williams poked the bear, He hit a three, and then he poked the bear. I love Grant Williams because he does have that confidence. Hits one, three and he's like, Yeah, this is my court.
I'm the guy he talked that shit all the way down the court. To Jimmy Butler. Jay Butt hit him, falls down, gets in. Grant Williams face Grant Williams. They look like they're going to kiss. Grant Williams. Would have been better off kissing Jimmy Butler than just getting in his face and yelling at him.
That would have at least thrown him off and he would have been like, What am I going to do? This guy just kissed me. Instead, he made Jimmy angry, and I think everybody watching at home was like, You don't want to make Jimmy angry.
We knew it was going to happen after that point and it did.
And it did, and they just basically spent the rest of the regulation going. After Grant Williams, Jimmy Butler picked him apart after Grant Williams got into Jimmy Butler's face. The Heat finished the game on a 24-9 run. The heat also. These playoffs are 6-2 when trailing by 10-plus.
The rest of the N.B.A. is 14-59 when trailing by 10-plus in the playoffs.
That's crazy to think, because it also implies that the heat go down by 10 points. A lot, a lot. Like it's pretty frequent that they end up being beaten by 10 points and then they manage to pull it together at the end. If I were you, Hank, I would want to fire Missoula right now.
Before game four.
I don't disagree. Get Brad in there, okay, counterpoint. This isn't all Missoula's fault. Jason Tatum and Jalen Brown are all NBA guys.
And like, what's happening, what's like, it's? I think the coach deserves a lot of blame, but you can't have him just be the fall guy when the players are playing like this. Yeah, I mean, tonight they shot like 7 for 74 from 3. You're never going to win games with that type of shooting percentage.
Is that a frank the Tank stat? I think it's pretty close, something like that. 7 for 74..
He's not far off.
But the I didn't even really see the you know how much Grant Williams got in his face when I was at the game. But obviously I did notice how they were just, you know, basically isolating him, going at him and scoring on him every single time. And Robert Williams had been playing well and he checked in with like after they just went on this crazy run with Grant Williams. And that one made no sense to me like that.
No, the coaching's been bad. I agree, the coaching's been bad, but I'm just saying at some point, it's also the players, of course, and Jalen Brown has not been good at all.
Jason Tatum has Game 2. It felt like he was like, Hey, I'm putting the team on my back, and then that fell apart, but yeah.
I just looked it up. The Celtics are 36 for 92, 36 for 92?.
It felt like 70 for 70.
Or 7 for 72..
You reminded me to throw in the what-if game.
Oh yeah.
What if Grant Williams never made that 1-3 that made him think he was the best player in the world?
What would happen, Hank? What would the world look like? Probably 1-1, oh yeah, 2-1 at this point, but yeah, they probably would have had a win.
Yeah, and so you're pretty down and the vibes kind of suck, which I understandable. We do want to talk about Brooks because that was a huge win for us.
But the coin?
Let's talk about the Celtics first.
There was a timeout that Spolster called, We were watching this live in the gambling cave. With Titus and the heat were up 29 points, the Celtics cut the lead to 29, and Spolster took a timeout to stop the bleeding at that point.
And that's rubbing it in to Celtics fans. This is what a coach does, yeah.
So where do you go from here? Because this does feel, you know, no team's ever come back down from 3-0 in the NBA.
I mean, Boston, I don't think Boston, as a city, has what it takes to come down from 3-0..
Do you think, Hank, this is blow it up kind of like, what do you do? Just fire the coach? The series is not over, okay, Jake?
We actually had some people reply to Hank's like, This is a disaster tweet on Friday, being like, I can't. I'm already pre-mad about Jake saying the series isn't over. So there it is for the folks who are ready for that.
And the fact that Jake is wearing a Hemi shirt right now.
Jake stored at barstolesports.com.
It was a 30-point game and we finally got him to say the game was over.
Where do you go from here? You got to fight, you got to come back, you got to show something, anything.
You got to win at least a game, hopefully two. If they get blown out in Game four, maybe not blow it all up, but make some moves.
Reassess.
I mean, Jake only has to go one and two, hank or no, Jake can go one and one.
He has to win two games in a row.
Hank has to win two games in a row.
That's good math.
Shut the fuck up, Hank. otherwise, Hank's not allowed to golf for a month, yeah.
Or he can get out of it with a soul patch. Yep, he can get out of it with a soul patch.
Have you thought about that? Would you do a soul patch and not be able to golf?
Probably not, we should also say, because the story obviously is. I mean, the Celtics had title aspirations, they were in the Championship last year down 3-0, getting absolutely killed in Game three. The heat deserve all the credit in the world.
They're just fucking good and they play as a team. And it's kind of crazy. When we've spent the entire leading up to the postseason, then in the postseason, who's really good the heat have. Now they're one game away from the N.B.A. title and they've lost three total games.
Yeah, I'm going to say right now, as a Nuggets fan, I am now afraid of the heat. I was looking forward to the heat. I was like, give me the heat. In the finals, I think the Nuggets could beat the shit out of them because the Nuggets are a superior team, but there's something about the heat.
There's just something you can't even put your finger on, one thing about them that makes them so good right now. Well, Jimmy, Jimmy. But Jimmy also didn't dominate tonight, like he normally dominates scoring wise.
They're all the heat, are just a very good basketball team all around, and if I'm the Nuggets, I don't want to overlook the heat.
Yeah, they had the stat. There was a moment in the game where the heat undrafted players were beating the Celtics overall. Because that's just like, they just have guys that are all stepping up and playing within the system and heat culture. I know I declared it dead, probably the dumbest thing I've ever done. When they lost to the Raptors, was it the Raptors, the Hawks?
The Hawks and then almost lost to the Bulls. And ever since that moment, I don't think there's been anything stronger in the world than heat culture. Yeah, it is the strongest strain of culture out there.
Heat culture.
Yeah, seriously, go find heat culture because it's fucking dominant.
Hank I'd like to get like, a real basketball answer out of you, though. Let's say hypothetically, you guys lose game four, so it's a sweep. Who do the Celtics move on from at that point?
Mizzoula Dunn He's already gone, I think, no matter what. Yeah, I mean, I don't think I don't want to move on from Jalen Brown, but I don't know. There's somewhat of a question mark with him, like it feels like maybe he's going to want out.
I hope he doesn't blow my mind. It feels weird. Yeah, it's not like both Jalen Brown and Jason Tatum as players are very good, but together it feels weird.
Something feels off right, and I feel like once the season ended, that would come out. Yeah, yeah.
Oh yeah, there's going to be. The Athletic is going to write a hell of a post-mortem.
Ime Udoka fucked everyone's girlfriend.
Yeah, bring him back, I don't care how horny he is. If they had known how bad Joe Mizzoula was going to be and how bad the season would end, they would not have fired IME. They'd be like, Okay, I'm going to look the other way. He just fucked one person.
This is like the scene when Tony Soprano gets in the bathroom with Jackie April Jr. He's like, put up your hands, put up a fight.
Fight like a man.
That's how I feel with Hank right now. I mean, the series isn't over. We want to pick on him, but he won't even put up a fight. The series isn't over. He's as doom and gloom as possible.
It's not over.
Final 128-102.
There you go.
Just got to win game four.
PD Tomorrow chill in Game six.
Chill on the bump.
Game seven Anything can happen.
There you go.
If they had Pedro Martinez start his starting point guard, do you think they'd have a better chance? Yeah, with those hands, yeah, fucking swatting everyone.
Get Poppy in the paint, have him back down, bam.
All right, anything else, hank.
No, okay, I wish Max was here, Max is flying back, he would have loved tonight.
Yeah, it's a real shame. We should maybe try to call him.
It would be very funny, though, if right in A-Rod's face, because he's sitting courtside. Boston did come back from 3-0 deficit again.
Listen, crazier things have happened. You can't come back from 3-0 without going down 3-0 first.
Have crazier things happened? I think this would be the craziest.
Yeah, in the NBA, it would be right, it's never happened, it's literally never happened in the NBA.
I guess John Morant with another Instagram gun, that's kind of, well, that wouldn't be that crazy at all. No, I'm saying, like, two Instagram guns is crazy.
Yeah, that might be crazy, but the second was more like, Oh, he's on live again.
Yeah, the first one was.
Actually, it'd be crazy if John Morant did like an entire year of Instagram lives with no guns.
No guns, by the way. We should say. John Morant has now gone. What a week and a half, yeah, without waving a gun on Instagram live.
Congratulations, John.
Yes, yes, okay. Better news. Brooks Koepka PGA champion. Good job, good job, all of us.
One of the best group like teamwork effort, by part of my take as a whole. We had divvied up our entire like Sunday. I was getting negative, Jake was staying positive.
PFT was trying to mush Hovland, Hank was after Scotty Scheffler. We just like Brooks Koepka, that guy is nails.
He is back.
We fought a war on all fronts. Brooks did his end of the bargain.
He played golf, I guess he did the majority of the work.
He did a lot, he did a lot of work. Max, Oh, Max Homa, I think he deleted the tweet.
But some?
This is from Louis van Hul, he said. Brooks gets Blake shout at him and Max Homa gets spicy meatball and pervert. This is a conspiracy. And then Max was like, Thank you.
Yes, thank you very much for pointing that out. Fair point, fair point, Max, but congrats to Blake.
He was huge when he had to be because for a little bit it looked like after he made that turn. After the ninth hole, things were a little bit dicey. We didn't know which way it was going to go, we didn't know if Hovland was going to pull through, and then the course came up big when the course had to.
And it ate Hovland's ball, literally the bunker ate Hovland's ball. Shout out the course, it disappeared.
It disappeared, it got plugged further than anything has ever been plugged before that I've ever seen or felt. If Brooks....
I think Brooks would have won no matter what, but it made it. So. It was stress-free down the stretch because there was that feeling like we're down four or five to start the day. I think he had a three-stroke lead.
And it was like, Oh, this is good. We got this. And then he had a couple bogeys, got back to one and it was some pretty thrilling golf back and forth.
Especially when Scotty Sheffield made his little late charge. But Brooks, the guy, is just nailed. So he's a five-time major champion now, he's won more majors in that stretch than anyone else.
He also.
Here's a crazy Brooks Koepka stat. He has played in 36 majors, he has been top 10 in 18 of them, so half of the majors that he's played in he's been top 10..
He's been top 25 in 24 of the 36.
He basically whenever there's a major, he shows up, he also has 27 of his wins are majors, so he just like....
Every time.
It's crazy. I think he has more, actually, that might actually be wrong because I think he has five major wins and four tour wins.
Or something like that.
More majors than normal tournaments.
Yeah.
Well, it's almost like the live tour was designed for Blake Koepka because he doesn't care about the normal PGA events anyways. All he wants to do is get paid money to play golf and then show up at the majors, and that's where he really tries to compete.
So this is really the best of both worlds. Brooks Koepka might be a genius. He gets $100 million to play golf in shorts. Do 25 less work. That's what Billy's really excited about.
And then just show up for the tournaments that he cares about and dominate. It's crazy, he's hacked golf.
And it is.
Not to get sappy, but we have a very cool job, we love our job and these moments where it's like,....
A guy that we root for, a guy that we become friends with, a guy who's become a fabric of this show. To go through the injuries he went through, to have everyone be like, Oh, he's done.
Goes to live tour to be back on top. I was kind of emotional, I was kind of like this is, and that wasn't just because we all won money on him.
But it was very cool to see him get back to the top of the mountain. I don't, so this is probably going to piss off golf fans. And let me just say, there's a big, there's a big but here.
So obviously Tiger's the greatest but, but I think Brooks is the closest to Tiger in terms of big lights showing up like....
Like the ice in his veins, in these big moments, he's just there, yeah.
You know what I mean?
Like he.
I'm not talking about tiger, Tiger's the best of all time, longevity, all the wins.
Everything he's got, whatever, 18 majors, all that shit.
No, that's Jack Nicklaus.
So Tiger is what? 17, or something 15, I think, either way, Brooks, though,....
Like, if you're looking for the guy.
I think there's been times when it was like, Rory and then obviously. Scottie Scheffler and John Rahm have been incredible the last few years.
David Duvall For like, a year and a half.
Yeah, like Jordan Spieth had his moment. But if you're looking for the answer of like, who's the most? who's the guy? you can depend on the most in the big moments, it's Brooks Koepka.
What if Brooks just went nuts and for the next 10 years continued to dominate? Brooks is 10 away from Tiger.
Yeah.
I'm gonna be the first to say it. Brooks can catch Tiger Woods major record.
Every.
I mean, the guy finished second in the Masters, like, that's the thing, it's not a fluke, yeah.
It's he's back, he's all the way back, officially back, and he is, like, us open. I think, what would we get him at?
20-1 today, like there's no chance we're getting him at 20-1 for the U.S. Open.
No, no, in Los Angeles, I believe that's Max's home track. yep, which is every course in Southern California, I just say, is Max's home track. But yeah, I mean, Brooks, it was awesome seeing him come out Friday.
Thursday he was a little shaky, Friday he put on a clinic on the back. Nine. Saturday he was again dominant compared to what other people were shooting at. That's the thing.
Like, he finished what nine under, Yeah, so that's an incredible score for the way that this course was set up with the weather that they had this week.
They said an 18 handicap would shoot 150 at this course.
How did they know that?
I don't know someone said that, I just heard that.
That's me.
Oh, that was you, you said that now I would shoot 150..
You're an 18 handicap.
On the windy day, they were saying that, Yeah, the wind, I don't know how they fucking know that, but whatever.
The wind looks shitty. Other big story from the PGA Championship was Michael Block. Yes, the PGA club, he was a club pro.
Yes, and he's in Southern California, I believe, and he looks like a complete cross between Ryan Rosillo and Blake Bortles. And he dunked a hole-in-one on the back nine on Sunday, and that was awesome.
Which ended up being super significant because he finished tied for 15th PGA Championship again next year. Great story, like one of those, This is a Hollywood story. He did cry a lot, he was crying a lot.
Well, Amanda Renner knew what she was doing in the interview right afterwards, because she goes, she goes. Look what I have right here, it's a video of your home club, and guess what you know?
Who took this video? It was your son, and then he started to cry and they're like, and guess what, I know your son's sick right now.
And then he cried more, and then she goes. And on top of that, guess what? Before you hit the shot, he said, Watch this. He's going to make a hole-in-one. So it was like it was the perfect golf tears moment.
And, and.
But that one made sense. I was saying like he was crying every day in the post, like he cried like every press conference.
Yes, yes, he did. He's a crier, he's a crier.
He's a dick Vermeule of golf, which I mean, I guess you want emotion. He was just a great story, though it's one of those stories that, like you, just, I was actually pissed. For a while. They weren't showing him at all.
Cause they built him up for three days and then on the final day they weren't showing him. And it's like, Yeah, I want to see Brooks and Hovland, but we don't need to see them. Like debating with a rules official when we could see a live shot.
Yeah.
And then he forced his way back into coverage by hitting the hole-in-one, getting the up and down to finish tied for 15th. Great dude and a crier, yeah.
And he went out Saturday night and he went partying. He went out to some bars that are that are local in the area. A bunch of people got pictures with him out drinking the night before. That just backs us already know which is.
You play golf better when you're hung over, yes.
Yes.
He also said, Cause you're like, Get me the fuck out of the sun, I want to get home so you play faster.
He also said that he had his entire crew, uh, had flights for Saturday morning at 10 a.m.
I love that.
So he was, he was not expecting to be around. The reaction when. Yeah, I think he even cried when he. When they told me he was playing with Rory the last day. Yeah, guy just cries, he cries.
It was very emotional week for Michael Block. But he did, he did say afterwards, like I.
I'm smart enough to know that my life is peaking at this very moment. Nobody ever realizes that while they're in the moment of their life peaking. Because they usually try to ride that wave and they're like, Okay, I'm just getting. I'm using this as a launching point. He knew in that moment, he's like, that's the best moment of my life right there.
All time perspective guy Yeah, oh, he had perspective for days.
And every time I see Amanda Renner on the Golf Channel or on Uh, was a CBS, every time I see her, all I can think about is her saying. And just, so, you know, it's a four day tournament. But if you're not in the top half, you get cut on Friday. And then you have to go home and you don't get paid.
Sucks at full swing, isn't with Brooks right now.
Yeah.
Well, we're with Brooks, we have them coming up.
Liv should do their own full swing, they should where it's just partying, just like DJs, private planes.
Yeah, the um, there was definitely. People were like, Oh, uh. The narrative of live golf players not being able to compete. Brooks has proven that wrong. We also had the Greatest Hits print.
Bradley Chambliss got very upset on set afterwards, Uh, cause they were talking about Brooks. I think Brooks is already qualified for the Ryder Cup, which is awesome. He did it in two tournaments. Uh, and Brandley Chambliss was like, Yeah, they're playing for their country.
And and like, they had this weird, awkward stare down. So it's good to know that Brooks has everyone pissed off again. Brooks is still, he's all the way back.
Brooks is still an American citizen. Technically, last time I just full swing, LIV Tour would just be a public execution winding up with a sword, yeah.
For anyone, yeah, and Phil Mickelson, and just various leather jackets.
Yeah, oh, I would watch that. Hell yeah.
Phil Mickelson paying off off the the The Casinos in Vegas.
Brooks should be, Brooks should be on the Ryder Cup. I'm going to go one further. Michael Bloch should be on the Ryder Cup for the vibes.
Why not, why not? Michael Bloch Yeah, great, great story.
Jake, I'm sure you were, like, all in on the Michael Bloch story, you were.
Yeah, it's really cool. It's just a regular guy and I know he's played in majors before. But I mean to play with Rory, top 15, a hole in one, playing with Rory.
Yeah, my question is, does his, uh, fee go up? He was, I think it was $125 for a 45 minute lesson.
Yeah, yeah, you've got to bump that up to one 50..
He's got it, he also sounds like when he was describing his life, it sounded like the best life ever. He's like, I show up, uh, at the course, I do some, like, you know, different paperwork for an hour, then I go out and do some lessons.
Then I go back to a little more paperwork, go out and do some more lessons. Then my kids show up at four o'clock and I teach them for a couple hours. Ends with my whole family at the golf club, yeah.
That's amazing.
It's like, I Sky rules.
I'm sure that we probably have a lot of club pros that listen to part of my take. I'm curious to know what your days look like. Because from my perspective, growing up, the only time I interacted with a club pro was when they were chasing teens off the course. Yeah, just be like, Hey, what the hell are you doing here?
Fucking the hottest mom.
Yeah, that's probably it.
Yeah.
Just probably, just probably bang, bang some strange and chase kids off the ninth green.
Yeah, exactly. So, uh, I don't know what else. I mean, it was a great tournament, it was fun. He's won three out of his five majors in the state of New York.
This is, uh, the first time in what two and a half, two and a half years, probably three years, where Brooks has won not wearing shorts?
Yeah.
Who's back of the week? Pants Pants for Brooks Skepka.
Yeah.
What's that hank?
You, okay, what does that look? Just thinking about the Celtics, I took my hands back. Oh, no.
Oh, pants, it's going to be shorts.
Yeah, we also had um, uh, Brooks, Brooks played.
Hank sounds so depressed right now.
It's, it's sad, it's sad, I don't know what cause. Like, it's actually the saddest place you could be as a sports fan because you're not technically dead. So you have to, like, you have to, like, get yourself up off the mat and be like, No, no, no, no, there's still, there's still a game to be played.
Yeah, you're in hospice right now.
But, you know, deep down, like, there's nothing, and like, obviously not to make it about myself, but like, I need them to win two games. Bad soul patch get you out of it, you can play all the golf you want with that sweet soul.
Beard grew back, maybe yours will grow back that fast.
Conservatively speaking, how many rounds of golf were you planning on playing in June?
20 20.
Oh, we're going to be going to golf, so we're going to Austin, we were going to play some golf there, we're going to go to Nashville. Tight end.
You Hank was going to play some golf in Nashville. A lot of great courses there. Chicago, moving to Chicago later on this week, some good courses in Illinois courses and Wisconsin nearby. You in Cog Hill.
Someone already hit you up about Cog Hill.
Oh, big cat, maybe in June do you want to go to Miami and we can play on Michael Jordan's course? Yeah, okay, cool, yeah.
That'd be sick, and Brooks will come.
Yeah.
He, actually, he said that you were watching the game. We'll get to Brooks in a minute, cause we we did call in and he, he called us and he was drinking out of the trophy with his boys. Looked like the most fun ever. Last thing about the PGA?
And then we got to talk Nuggets Lakers. I did laugh about Kyle Porter. CBS had a great tweet. Imagine telling yourself after the, Uh, I don't know how to say the South Carolina one Jake Keough.
Yeah, Keough, PGA two years ago, when the Bryson Brooks video emerged. That two years later, Crushers captain Bryson DeChambeau would be one of the first to congratulate smash captain Brooks Capco on his fifth major at Oak Hill. It's perfect, it is poetic.
Although I still hate Bryson, I mean, I'll be honest, it doesn't have the same fire that it had a few years ago. But when I, when I'm watching Bryson DeChambeau play golf, can't help myself. I'm just like, look at this fat.
Fuck.
Well, yeah, do you know what killed it for me? I mean, I still don't like him as well, but the fact that he got skinny again does kill a little. Like, still fat. I hated his roided Bryson, Yeah.
That was the peak of Bryson and the videos he would put out. And just, so, yeah, the hate is has simmered a little bit also.
Cause he's not really a threat to Brooks. Yeah, that's true. Rivalry is over, like rivalry, yeah.
Bryson won the PGA Championship, but there were no fans around. He basically won the bubble tournament, it's like him and the Lakers winning in the bubble. Those didn't count.
I also did see someone note that Brooks was deliberately walking slower today so that he didn't have to wait long for his shots. Cause there was a couple of times he would just walk up and just just hit it right away, it was awesome.
He was lining up his two footers, too.
Yeah, that's what he was doing, he was like a gimme putt, he was giving himself like a minute. Just so that. He didn't want to get caught with the people in front of him. It wasn't a Hovland thing, he didn't want to be stuck.
It was basically he learned that he's not going to let any other groups control his pace, he'll control himself. So he was walking slow so that he made sure that they never ran up in front of for the golfers in front of him.
It's smart that way, you're not ever standing over your own shot, you're always doing something and then you get up to your ball.
You can take your normal approach to it.
It was actually it happened when when Hovland had his ball disappear and Brooks was kind of getting iced out. And then the minute he could shoot, he shot right away.
Yeah, it was just instant. He's ready to go. Yeah, I saw somebody suggest this on Twitter.
I think it's a good idea if they did a Ryder Cup, but it was a format where it was live. Guys against PGA, guys like, get that rivalry going, really lean into it if you're the PGA. If you want ratings, if you, if you want to drive, you know more revenue because you don't want to lose more guys. To live tour. Come up with this like wrestling type shit, where it's, you know, a rivalry that actually already exists right now, but lean into it. Have it be like WCW getting into a ladder match against all of WWF.
Yes, why not? Yeah, this is how we get as how golf grows as a game. Uh, okay.
So we would do have Brooks, we call him first, and then we have, uh, Anders home. Great interview in studio. Should we talk?
Lakers nucks the game three on Saturday night. The N.B.A. pulled out all their stops. Scott Foster, who got hit in the face and looked like he had lipstick on for the entire second. They were doing everything they could to make sure the Lakers won that game, including a one of the weirdest fouls ever.
When Yokich got called for his fourth because Anthony Davis's leg hit Yokich's leg, uh, but the Nuggets are just too good, they hit every shot. Jamal Murray was incredible in the first half, and D'Angelo Russell is maybe the worst player ever.
Yeah, I don't think I've ever done a game of the year. I'm going to do it, I'm going to do a game of. I'm gonna do a game of the year.
Okay.
Lakers Money Line Game Four. Okay, it's gotta happen.
They gotta have fight.
It's gotta happen. The NBA will not let LeBron James get swept in this series.
Do you know that the Nuggets, as a franchise, have never swept?
Anybody?
Anybody? How crazy is that? They've never been to an NB.A. championship title or finals, and they've never swept anyone?
I still, I want to say nugs in six, but I think I'm dialing that back to nugs in five. I think I was wrong, yeah, cause I was right about being wrong about the Nuggets just now, though.
Cause they if the Lakers win Game four, then they go back to altitude. LeBron's not going to want to.
He's probably not going to make the trip.
They also should just play Austin Reeves a lot more and run the offense through him, cause he's like the only guy who consistently shows up for the Lakers.
It's it's puzzling how bad the Lakers have been. I don't want to say they're bad, but how they haven't. I expected them to step up last night. Yeah, I expected them to be much, much better at home. Um, and for a Jack Nicholson, who, by the way, still looks awesome.
Still looks awesome, not a day over 30 years old. JACK NICHOLSON Yeah, but uh, yeah, I thought that they would put on a better show at home.
And and especially cause Jokic, like he didn't have his triple double, he was averaging a triple double, he had he. He wasn't even close to it because of the foul trouble, but Jamal Murray just absolutely torched them. And the Nuggets are just like all around, a very good team, like they just play great basketball.
They hit all the big shots. It was crazy to watch that game and just you knew what was happening in the first half, you knew that. Like, I know that. It sucks that the N.B.A. has this element to it where you can feel like. The refs are clearly trying to extend a series and the Nuggets just were better than the refs.
The beating, Yeah.
They were better than the Lakers and they were better than the refs.
And I've watched every Nuggets game this post-season and a lot of their regular season games too. And every time I see Jeff Green on the court, I'm like, Oh, that's Jeff Green, he's still in the league. Yeah, like, I know that Jeff Green is on the Nuggets right now, but every I have to say it every time he's on the court.
Oh shit, that's Jeff Green.
A clean block that was called a foul like, got some serious air. He's what 38??
30 Let's see. He was on the Georgetown team in 2008..
He got drafted, he might be 36.
Cause he got, yeah, he's 36, he got drafted, I think, the same year with Kevin Durant. Yeah, still in the league. I mean nuggets.
Fucking nuggets are good.
They're a wagon. But again, I don't know what it is about the heat because I can't put my finger on why the heat are so, so good right now. Obviously, Jimmy Butler is one factor, but everybody. If one guy doesn't show up one night, there are going to be three guys that step up in his place. It's crazy watching how good the heat have become over these playoffs and I'm a little bit afraid of them.
Yeah.
I mean, they play great basketball as a team and they're fucking phenomenally coached, yeah.
Also, I think Jimmy Butler might have photographic memory because his reverse celebrations when he taunts somebody back in the same way are too perfect. Yes, he did the timeout thing that Al Horford did, even got down on the exact same knee that Al did. He mimicked it perfectly, yeah.
I think Jimmy, he has, I don't know if it's across the board photographic memory, but I know that if you fuck with Jimmy, it gets seared into his brain. Yes, and he will do whatever it takes. Come Hell or high water to do that celebration right back in your face.
Yes, yes, that's facts. Okay, anything else?
Before we do, Who's back? and then we have Brooks and then we have Anders Holm, anything else.

Com t-u-r-o..com. Okay, who's back of the week? yeah.
My who's back of the week is shorts.
Oh, okay, yeah, nice, good. Who's back hank?
Good, thank you.
Why are shorts back Hank?
Brooks Koepka just won a major today, he plays on the live tour. They're allowed to wear shorts. Big point of controversy.
A lot of people saying, no player that you know wears shorts and plays golf will ever win a major, and Brooks, you know, proved them wrong. So big day for shorts.
Huge, huge day for shorts, all the shorts guys out there.
That's a great who's back hank.
I love it, Hank.
Thank you, what about you, Hank? You're in the building on Friday night?
How'd you shoot?
I shot well, actually.
Hank, did you mute all notifications on the golf app that you use that used to tell me whenever you'd be golfing?
Yeah.
I know I haven't gotten any from Hank and I'm pissed off about it.
You shot a 95.
Shot a 95 Friday, I shot a 90 on Saturday. What whoa?
Damn, that'd be so shitty if your game took a step back because you didn't golf for a month.
What if me and Big Cat played so much golf in June that we got better than you? Rusty?
You are going to get rusty, you can't go to a driving range.
No, you can't practice, that's golf, I mean, I can go. No, you can't.
You can go, but you can watch. Yeah, okay, just for the ambiance.
Hank was honestly saying that he was going to just go out to a bunch of golf course and just walk, yeah, just to be near the game.
I mean, like, Hank might become an alcoholic. I got nothing else to do, just unreliable for the entire month of June. No, it'll be great.
I'm sorry, Hank.
It won't even be a big deal.
No, I'm sorry Hank, Hank. I'm sorry. it's not your fault, Hank.
I'm sorry, it's not your fault.
Not over.
You can get a house shut the f**k up, James, you can get a soul patch not over. Thank you for making me aware of that situation.
I don't think you know that, though, that you can get a soul patch.
Or what if you rented a cat for the month?
Two months, two months rental of a cat.
If you rent a cat for the entire summer, I'm willing to let you have it.
Yeah, all the way from Memorial Day to Labor Day, you have to get a cat. If you got a cat for Memorial Day to Labor Day, that counts. And then because he'll fall in love with the cat and he'll have to keep the cat, you can't just give the cat back.
You can't, you can't lose the cat either.
There's no way you'd give the cat back. You have a big heart.
That would make you a monster, that would make you worse than Max.
You'd be Lena Dunham.
You'd be Lena Dunham. Let's just win on Tuesday.
Let's just win on Tuesday.
Okay, Pft, who's your, who's back?
My who's back is the Golden Knights?
Yeah.
Our Golden Knights, Our Golden Knights. 2-0 most dangerous lead in hockey against the Dallas Stars and how many overtimes did Game 1 go to?
Four overtimes.
And like all of four.
Yeah, I feel bad for Knights fans and for Stars fans. Obviously sucks worse for a Stars fan to watch four overtimes. But most hockey fans when they're watching that at some point, maybe in the third overtime, are like, just end it one way or the other. Just shoot me, put me out of my misery.
Because if you're watching your team play playoff hockey, it sucks.
Panther game went to four overtimes.
This went to one overtime.
Both of their games went to one overtime, yeah.
We've obviously been watching the hockey very closely.
All four games have been decided in overtime.
Correct.
And the Panthers Game 1 was quadruple overtime.
Yeah, there was also a very, very funny stat that they showed on the TNT Hockey show. I don't know if you guys saw this.
Oh, I did, that was an insult, stat.
It was an insult stat that they brought out on our good friend biz. Nasty. And just so you guys know, this aggression will not stand towards Paul Bissonnette. The number of total points in the NHL that everybody that was on the desk had. I'm trying to pull it up.
But it's Gretzky, Anson, Carter and Lundquist.
Yeah, Lundquist is a goalie, so at least Biz Nasty has more points than Henry Lundquist. Okay, so, it says number one Wayne Gretzky 2,857 points, second place Anson Carter 421 points makes sense.
Oh, this must be wrong, because it, says Henry Lundquist. The goalie has 27 career points. Okay, so Biz Nasty has more and then no. Paul Bissonnette's number four on this with 22 career points. That can't be right.
Damn, I'm going to email Turner and get that corrected, that can't be right, right?
No, that can't be right.
Less than a goalie. Damn anyways. We've been watching a lot of hockey on part of my take go Knights.
Go Knights, let's go Knights.
We're up 2-0.
Yeah.
Huge, huge, huge.
If we just won it all, be sick, yeah.
Hang another banner in the PMT studios. Yeah, I mean, Jake is just silently going to win two titles in the spring.
And Brooks, he's from South Florida, too.
It's fucking ridiculous.
And he had two teams in the final four.
This is, I mean, we did-.
I'm not claiming Miami Nfau.
But you have.
Yes, you have, you've claimed it.
And throughout the tournament, yes, but I'm not going to like brag about them.
Jim Boeheim was at the course this weekend.
Yes, he was.
Sure, pretty much.
Yeah.
Yeah, no, Jake, I mean, I think we predicted this too, like Max and Hank will go through like all-out war, yep.
And then Jake will just show up and be like, series isn't over, even though we're up 4-0.
Jake will be 3-0.
No, I know when you go up 4-0, you're going to be like, who knows, they might just play another game.
No, what's going to happen after the game's over? You will not see a human being stand up faster with his hand extended for a handshake than Jake Marsh will.
6-0.
You're going to get in Hank's face, you're going to stomp on his throat and be like, good series. Thanks for the sweep.
Yeah, uh, all right, my who's back is, uh, rest versus rust debate. Because if both series do end in a sweep, so it'd be Monday and Tuesday, the series would end. The N.B.A. finals doesn't start until June 1st, no matter what, so the Nuggets would have nine days off and the heat would have eight days off.
What happens when both teams have the rest versus Rust, who gets rustier?
Which team's older?
I would imagine, oh, I don't know, because Haslam kind of skews the heat.
He does.
Jeff Green skews the nuggets.
Did Haslam get in tonight? I don't think that he did.
No, I don't think so. Average age.
Yeah, that's going to be important to know because that's going to favor the older team.
Yeah, you're right, I would say. They're probably about the same, would be my guess. Uh, let's see N.BA teams, all right, so the Miami heat are average. Age 28.7..
Okay, okay, and the Denver Nuggets are 27.3, so pretty close.
All right, so it's about a year off.
Yeah, pretty close.
That would favor the heat fuck.
Yeah, uh, okay, and then my other....
That's too long to go. That is, the N.B.A. should change, they should bump it up.
It's going to be very weird having.
I mean, I, for one, I'm going to be happy to finally get some sleep, but that's also just a personal problem.
What do the teams do if they have to spend that many days off? Do they have, like, full, like, uh, full contact, full like, simulated scrimmages in their practices to keep them going?
Our guy, Stadhol Sports, sent me the list of them and he was saying, like, why wouldn't they just do a couple scrimmages against each other? Yeah, that'd be fun. Yeah, televise them.
Yeah, call one of them Game One.
Or have.
I play golf for like, a day or two for the week off.
Yeah, I think, was it Titus? That said that they should do a Celtics-Lakers series? Yeah, that would be great.
To get some ratings.
A three-game series in that eight-game rest would be awesome.
Yeah, they should have that, they should have that. Yes, they'd probably get more ratings.
Oh, the ratings.
The ratings police are already doing work.
Yeah.
About a nuggets-heat final.
Hank, Would you want to beat the Lakers in a, uh, in a three-game third-place series? No.
You wouldn't.
I wouldn't care.
Oh, I forgot to ask this question at the start. Um, how much does it hurt you being down 3-0, knowing that you would be able to make fun of being down 3-0, but you can't because you're also down 3-0? It hurts a lot, it hurts a lot.
Yeah, I'm having no fun.
Yeah.
That's a great quote.
I'm having no fun.
Not even a little bit of fun.
No, there's no fun. What about Brooks?
Yeah, come on.
Brooks was fun.
Yeah.
Brooks was a lot of fun, but then it just, you know, golf is kind of a trigger, triggering thing at this point.
You hate watching him enjoy his time on the golf course so much.
Knowing what you're.
What have you have you thought about if you don't golf for an entire month? Like, what if you just like, fall out of love with it?
That'd probably be productive, that'd be good for for work. Yeah, oh, interesting, save that quote.
Yeah, I mean, if you don't have, if a person doesn't have hobbies, all there is is work. Yeah, that's true, I think work-life balance is good, but, you know, a work-work balance works, too.
It also works.
You get the old George Costanza and you just you get like, super smart you find. So you start to play the piano, you get other hobbies, and you're like, Wow, golf is really taking up a big part of my mind.
Work-work balance, there's work, and then there's just more work, that's what you want. No, that's not what I want.
You can still go on vacation, yeah, golf on vacation, yeah.
I want a happy hank.
Wait, Hank, do you really like vacations or do you just like golfing while you're on vacation?
It's a means to an end.
One gotta go hank, one gotta go golf or vacations.
Hank's the alcoholic at the bar, huh me? Hank's the alcoholic at the bar who's like, I only smoke cigs when I drink, I only golf when I go on vacation.
You ever try to go on vacation without golfing? It's like trying to poop and not pee.
That's been happening to me recently and I don't know what's going on.
Yeah, I can't do that.
A few times, like a week, I'll just take a shit and then, like a minute later, be like, Wait, I didn't pee and I'll go pee. Yeah, I don't know.
To clean off the skid marks.
No, but no. I'm saying like, I don't, I'm not even thinking about it, and then I'm like, Oh shit, I didn't pee, I gotta go pee. What's going on with that? Some doctor tell me I'm okay.
I don't think you are, I don't think I am either. Yeah, I think it's a problem.
I think my entire life-.
It's not even like conscious, it's just like whoops.
I think I'm batting a thousand every time I poop, I pee.
Not me. My numbers are going down, it's tough. My other who's back is Cold Brew, because we got to come at Stella Blue Coffee, cold brew coming.
Announcement on Tuesday. It is so delicious. Summertime When I think of summertime, I think of summer vacations, golf, cold brew So if you can't do the two in the middle, you might as well just do summer and cold brew.
Live for coffee.
There's no golf. And if you have a soul patch, you can maybe save a little flavor saver.
I could use a little cold brew right now, it's hot in the studio.
It is very hot in the studio. Cold brew. It is super delicious. We'll do it. We'll do a round of cold brews on Tuesday before we do the show.
It is like we made some really fucking good cold brew, so get excited. Stellabluecoffee.com on Tuesday, Billy.
My who's back is Antonio Brown in pro football? Oh, he has finally found an owner that will want him to play for them, and it's himself. So if you didn't know, he owns a AFL team, the Albany Empire.
They've had been having some difficulties lately. You know how they say, some really good players don't make good coaches, well, some good players don't make good owners. He apparently wasn't paying coaches previously. And now he's actually making the best move he could as an owner and is going to suit up and play for the team.
I like that that's where this is all leading anyways. Yeah, hasn't. He fired three coaches in the last month.
And he's just not paying anybody, then he's taking videos of him paying people. And then there's restaurants that are being like the Albany Empire didn't pay their dinner tab. And then he's like, it's a big shit show up there in Albany.
If I was Antonio Brown the player, I would not want to pay, I would not want to play for Antonio Brown. The owner. Yeah, is he paying himself to play?
Do you think he might actually get in an argument with himself?
Yeah.
He might be a two hats type of guy.
Yeah.
Yeah, wow, well, hopefully he'll pay this next coach.
Hey, I'll watch clips on Twitter.
Maybe.
Yeah, no, no, at least half no. They'll, they'll, you know that, like, what will happen is he'll play. And then you'll click on one tweet, and then you'll just have your for you. Just be constant. Antonio Brown highlights for a day.
I will watch at least five seconds as I'm scrolling through Twitter of an Antonio Brown play in this whatever league it is, yes.
What are these washed?
I think he'll probably dominate them.
Okay, yeah, uh. He was in the league two years ago.
Yeah.
He won a Super Bowl three years ago.
Yeah.
He's probably better than he's also insane. Yeah, true.
Also true.
