00:00And I have to ask you what you thought of the bloodletting in Denver today with Malone and the GM getting fired.
00:07And then your thoughts on these two big games tonight, Boston and the Knicks at the Garden.
00:12The Celtics have owned the Knicks this year, just killed them.
00:17And then the Lakers are playing at Paycom again, back-to-back against OKC.
00:21And the Lakers stunned them on Sunday.
00:24That line is gigantic today, 15 and a half with Oak City laying.
00:29What do you think of those two games in the Malone and GM firing?
00:33Well, you know what?
00:34Anybody who's been following the Denver situation, it's been pretty chaotic and pretty messy behind the scenes.
00:41Very similar to Memphis, in which you can see Jenkins just sort of lost control of the room.
00:46You've got guys fighting on the sidelines.
00:48Nobody's listening to him when he talks.
00:51You know, God knows what's going on off the court in Denver as well.
00:55Listen, I know that Jamal Murray's been frustrating people.
00:58He's not playing, but he's seen, you know, he's out at the casino all the time.
01:03Like, they're losing.
01:04He doesn't seem to care very much.
01:06Jokic is doing his thing, and it's like an insane asylum around him.
01:10You saw multiple players.
01:12Like, it's been constant.
01:14These guys are chirping and chirping and chirping on the bench.
01:17And listen, Malone is sort of like a, I don't know, he's kind of like a Tortorella type, right?
01:22I mean, is there a more sort of over-the-top NBA coach than Malone?
01:27As crazy as it sounds, Scott, I don't, it's strange.
01:31Like, you got rid of the GM as well.
01:33I don't really have a problem with it now in the sense that if they knew, you know what, we're going to fire this guy.
01:39Like, we're going to, we've got to make changes in the offseason.
01:43Why waste the playoffs, right?
01:46I mean, clearly, I do believe, Scott, that, and I don't know, I can't speak for Denver Nugget players, but the relationship was lost, right?
01:53It's gotten to the point where they weren't listening to him.
01:56They've tuned him out.
01:57They're fighting with each other.
01:59You need some sort of, like, what do you, you know, if they go, they were just going to fizzle out in the playoffs, the way things were going right now.
02:04Maybe they got a shot in the arm.
02:06It's, uh, it's Adelman's son.
02:09Rick Adelman's kid.
02:10I was like, Adelman, what the hell is this guy, like, 100 years old, but it's his son.
02:14Is that who's going to coach him?
02:16Yeah.
02:17He's an assistant on the team, former head coach Rick Adelman.
02:20Um, it's his son, uh, that'll take over now.
02:24So, I don't know, Scott, it's almost like, you know, a college team getting that shot in the arm when he was a coach going into the tournament or something.
02:29They weren't going to win the way things were going, bro.
02:31Like, they were just getting, they were getting into fistfights.
02:33Like, they're fighting in the room.
02:34They're fighting on the bench.
02:36As I stated, there's a lot of animosity between the players on that team.
02:40I'm not going to pretend that I'm in the room, but the Nuggets are sort of one team that I've heard a lot of things about this year of.
02:46It's just constant behind the scenes with these guys.
02:50You know, this happens, Scott.
02:51You win a title, right?
02:52You got everything they could out of them, and now everybody sort of, you know, gets, you know, gets a little bit of attitude.
02:58You saw with the Philadelphia Eagles, even.
03:01The Eagles admitted, you know, after they won that Super Bowl with Foles and stuff, they were like, man, we're not the same team anymore.
03:06We got a lot of Eagles in this room.
03:08And, you know, they had to re-flush it, so to speak, and retool it.
03:12They're lucky Jokic isn't a complainer like everybody else in the NBA is, though, Scott, because this guy, you know, you could argue that he and his career are suddenly getting wasted with a bunch of head cases on this basketball team.
03:22But I don't hate it, Scott.
03:24They were going to let him go anyways.
03:26They were going to lose anyways in the playoffs.
03:28So now maybe with a new voice, a guy that they don't hate in the room, maybe it gives them a shot in the arm, actually.
03:35I actually don't hate it for the Nuggets.
03:36I'm going to let him go anyways.
