Rachel Nichols
the league well you have two categories of guys right you have guys who are a bit reliant on it with their game and they'll sit there and tell you it's part of the game and he does it why shouldn't i do it and look there are anti flopping measures that have been instituted in the nba in the past couple years we had i think in twenty twenty three twenty four it was a trial rule and then the year after it was adopted as a real permanent rule that's when they put in official flags flopping penalties unsportsmanlike conduct penalties that officials can call so the nba will tell you we've already addressed this your point though and the point of the other portion of players i talk to is hey it's not working guys are still doing it and it's ruining some of the flow of the game and so the question is the rule is already there it's there kind of almost recently so they're not going to put in a new rule but what i do think might happen in this offseason is you might see them talk to the refs about making it a quote point of emphasis and that's what the nba does when they feel like the rule is in place but it's not being called enough and they say going into the season this is a quote point of emphasis and then at the beginning of the season i know a lot of fans don't realize this an officiating crew will go around and talk to every single team during the preseason have a meeting with them with visual aids and say these will be our points of emphasis be warned so i wouldn't be surprised if we see a little bit of more of that in the beginning of the preseason next year you
- [05:04]
Colin Cowherd
know i've said this with part of take baseball out of it where there's no salary cap but a big part of i mean great players like aj brown got moved out of tennessee and i remember mike vrabel's reaction to the press conference he it was like i just lost my offense yeah like it happens all the time austin reeves cap hits going to triple plus triple plus and we saw this rachel with derrick white derrick white if he is a four you can win a championship this year he was often asked during the tatum injury to be a two and he didn't play as well right you're asking him now to guard better players and you're running more of the offense through him and then there are limitations based on just physical traits and i look at austin reaves i would love austin at certain prices it's baker mayfield at thirty five million he's a steal at fifty five million i'm going to draft the quarterback these new owners you know this in los angeles they moved off corey seeger bellinger manny machado they've moved off stars because the numbers don't work three i mean forty eight million dollars cap hit for austin reaves is there i mean if he has a couple more games like this in the series does the brain trust say guys this this is this is punitive now
- [06:22]
Rachel Nichols
i don't think so look he austin reeves showed them through an entire season what he could do the way he compliments luca luka loves having him around and keeping luka happy is very important to the lakers not just in terms of long term contract stuff but luka's an emotional player and when he's happy he plays better so that is important for all the on the court and frankly off court reasons too austin reeves had an oblique injury that should have kept him out for at least six weeks probably eight weeks and he came back early and that is to me what we saw last night he is not himself out there and i think if anything he's going to get credit from the organization for trying to play through it because at least if you're a body out there you're someone that they have to guard especially if you are an offensive talent like reeves so i expect him to sort of work his way back through this series obviously the thunder one of the best defensive teams in the league so they're going to make it extra hard on him and he is still hurting and the hours he spends in the training room right now are evidence of that so i don't think anyone's going to count this series or that performance last night which was terrible but i don't think it's going to count against him in contract negotiations this summer so you know
- [07:28]
Colin Cowherd
considering lebron has been in the public eye for twenty three years his missteps may have been a tweet about china the public breakup of the cavs was a little rough you know the bronnie thing did he enrich paul i defended that it was a terrible draft it was second round bronnie's a good kid he plays hard he's actually better than i thought he would be in the
- [07:48]
Rachel Nichols
needed him in the last round by
- [07:49]
Colin Cowherd
the way yeah better than i thought but rich paul i want you to react to this here's rich paul talking about lebron and what he deals with
- [07:59]
Colin Cowherd's Co-host
the reason why you don't hear a lot of conversation about jokic is because i don't believe people are happy to see jokic lose but when lebron loses
- [08:12]
Colin Cowherd
people are happy to see him lose there's something about that especially his peers
- [08:17]
Colin Cowherd's Co-host
guys that played in the league that have platforms today for different reasons it's
- [08:24]
Colin Cowherd
extra they are happy to see him lose that is sad what do you
- [08:29]
Rachel Nichols
make of that damn straight they are you know why because lebron bullied the entire league for about two decades this is the case of the guy who who not only sort of capped careers there are players in this league many many elite players in this league who would have titles who would have rings if not for lebron and we said that about michael jordan the years he played right think about the players that we can point to they definitely would have had a ring if not for michael jordan well lebron has been bullying guys for a lot longer than michael jordan ever did think about you talked about players with platforms paul george right he's still in the league but he has a he has a podcast his career would have gone completely different in the east when he was in indiana if not for lebron james there were entire franchises who built up and then got destroyed by lebron and then had to build down again the toronto raptors obviously the indiana pacers the boston celtics dynasty if it was one was broken up by lebron james so of course they're happy when he has a misstep or when things go poorly for him they were on the other end of those fisticuffs for so long i think it's really just a testament to lebron's greatness more than it says anything about
- [09:35]
Colin Cowherd
anyone else in wemby hasn't been around long enough to be a villain but i could see people in the league being like you know you media people are giving him flowers that his offensive game isn't even refined yet i wonder if you polled there was a poll that came out in the athletic today about overrated underrated guys should get it to me how do you if you if you polled nba players and you said t wolves or spurs my gut is the players would root for ant they like ant and i think they like kind of the toughness you know the julius randle the nas reed i find minnesota easy to root for they're just veterans not overlooked but you know not always aesthetically beautiful players outside of ant who do you think players are rooting for around the league in that
- [10:28]
Rachel Nichols
series i think guys like both of these teams you know i think there's a lot of respect around the league for you know what the wolves are the way they are able to ratchet it up in the playoffs after having these you know characteristics now uneven seasons chris finch is very respected around the league ant you know has a lot of guys attention by the way he plays both sides of the floor and the way that he frankly just has that you know it factor the charisma but i actually think that other players like wemby and have a ton of respect for him and don't think he's overrated you have guys all season who have made the point that he is just completely on another level from them you know throughout throughout the year and what they project for him for the rest of his career i mean jaylen brown at one point during the season said i think right now i'm the best two player in the league and then at the end of that sentence he paused and he goes of course you know non wemby division i mean literally that is what he said guys call him an alien that nickname has really stuck with the other players around the league i don't think they think he's overrated at this point at all i do think what we saw with him last night was that players think they have a little bit of a window of opportunity right now when he still is new and fresh and hasn't figured everything out and the book on him all season because he's played so well has been that the only way to stop him offensively is to really get up under him and that is what we saw the timberwolves do last night they jammed him they jammed him in the chest in the hip and they take away some of the power of that first step which is just so lethal with wemby and it also means that he just gets discombobulated and he's not used to dealing with that yet i'm interested colin in what you think about how he's going to adjust for the rest of the series because i kept saying over you know during our predictions phase of these playoffs i think the spurs youth will show at times during these playoffs but wemby is such a student of the game i expect him to come back in the next game knowing better how to deal with it or do you think that he just doesn't have it yet i
- [12:19]
Colin Cowherd
think it's a bad matchup a little bit for san antonio because if you take out the COVID year where older players miss their wives and families and they were like i mean like lebron talked about that like i had to get the guys together and say guys this is brutal we're playing you know theme park but it was rough on older players so younger players for the only time in my life kind of took the playoffs over yeah right single guys no kid they were just having fun the playoffs are mostly about old guys that can manipulate the refs guys that can make adjustments in the fourth quarter i said at the other night when these games go into the fourth the minute that game one went into the fourth i'm like oh no minnesota had a four point lead five point lead it was their game yeah and i think it's a tough matchup i think if you took every nba roster and you just said we're going to do strength tests and physical tests minnesota would win i think they have the randall nas mcdaniel go bear i think experience wisdom length toughness i think wemby is going to have i mean listen he struggled in game one at home i think there's a little bit of a book on him i think you said it i think randall nas i think those guys are bad matchups i don't think it's going to be a great series for him and you know the other thing rachel he's not a creative or an initiator he's a disruptor on the defensive end and he's a finisher on the offensive end but he does need people to engineer or initiate the he's not jokic that way he's more kareem you know he's the finisher and the disruptor when you put magic with kareem that's a dynasty yeah so i mean my take is this is a seven game series yeah for sure
- [14:11]
Rachel Nichols
absolutely we thought we would see that in the east too but i'm sure you guys have seen the embiid news we'll see what happens there i'm very curious to see how the sixers operate tonight with joel embiid ruled out because are we going to see tyrese maxey take over that game or are they just going to have to let kat run wild and then they're not going to have an answer for him and we're going to another dominant performance from the knicks i just don't know how competitive this east side of the bracket
- [14:37]
Colin Cowherd
is going to be totally agree rachel nichols covering the nba since nineteen ninety three good senior h thanks you bet yeah that's a bummer on joel embiid although they were seven and a half point favorite with embiid now they're ten and a half so you know it's interesting embiid dominates the boston series has given cat huge problems and the number only moves two and a half three points i mean i you know and it goes to show in short spurts in very very short spurts you can lose your star the first two games of the houston series without luca ayton and rui and luke canard were great then you get a lot of game film then you can go back and prepare and by game three houston should have won that game by game three your feeling is yeah they missed luca so you generally speaking for a game or two like in football sometimes you can for a half you can you can overcome on scheme but eventually if you have christian mccaffrey in the lineup or trent williams the niners later in games you don't want to back up quarterback if brock purdy's throwing thirty eight times you don't want to back up left tackle you can overcome it early take a lead schemes try to run but if you fall behind you're in big trouble i think tonight philadelphia will play hair on fire i think they'll be super aggressive i think it'll be competitive but you know if you go back to the regular season the games in the regular season that we all watched were okc san antonio okc had their or san antonio had their number but if they played again we'd probably take okc and the games we talked about in the east this year were the detroit knick games which detroit controlled detroit controlled in the regular season i would probably take the knicks and that shows you the divide between the regular season and the postseason i would take okc over san antonio though the spurs dominated the regular season i would take the knicks over the pistons although detroit pushed them around in the regular season it's a different sport be sure to catch live editions of the herd weekdays at noon eastern nine am pacific hey is cavino and rich from fox sports radio now in addition to hearing us live weekdays from five to seven pm eastern two to four pacific on fox sports radio we're excited to announce a brand new youtube channel for the show yup that's right you can now watch covino enriched live on youtube every day all you got to do search covino and rich fsr on youtube again go to youtube search covinoenrich fsr check us out on youtube subscribe hit that thumbs up icon and comment away brought to

Apple Card Announcer
news no no no no turn on
- [20:51]
Colin Cowherd
the news this is the herd line
- [20:54]
Colin Cowherd's Co-host
news we haven't talked a lot of nfl let's jump into the minnesota vikings colin they added your guy kyler murray in the off season he'll battle my guy reluctantly jj mccarthy well randy moss the immortal viking wide receiver has chimed in saying he's excited for kyler murray saying that kyler has something to prove and it's i mean it's not from randy moss others in the organization it's sounding like kyler murray has the edge
- [21:25]
Colin Cowherd
well of course he does of course he does why is that you don't think connor murray is better than jj
- [21:30]
Colin Cowherd's Co-host
mccarthy based on what being the number one pick throws a great ball was
- [21:34]
Colin Cowherd
based on talent kyler murray doesn't lack confidence elusiveness we have experience that talent
- [21:43]
Colin Cowherd's Co-host
in a couple of years have you looked at his numbers the last two years well i mean he's healthy that
- [21:47]
Colin Cowherd
is why what is he working with i mean who's succeeding at arizona at
- [21:51]
Colin Cowherd's Co-host
a high level maybe aaron rodgers next year but i don't know i mean i guess i understand it okay kyler murray is a big name but colin he hasn't lived up to the expectations
- [22:02]
Colin Cowherd
he just hasn't been great okay haven't we learned from sam darnold and baker mayfield there are certain places you're going to struggle to succeed jets cleveland arizona of the thirty three qualified quarterbacks jj mccarthy had the lowest passer rate yeah
- [22:18]
Colin Cowherd's Co-host
he was not great last year okay
- [22:19]
Colin Cowherd
kyler murray we've seen this time and time again where a quarterback either gets a new coach trevor lawrence caleb williams and you're like wow or they move sam darnold twice minnesota seattle and you go wow i mean baker mayfield people were kind of done with him and then he gets liam cohen dave canales as ocs and you're like is baker a pro bowler i think kyler murray is going to work i think you know i think he was a little distracted in arizona i don't think it's an organization that had necessarily great leadership i think minnesota is now they've got to hire a full time gm i don't think he's as good as sam darnold i've said this before but i think he's a i i have always i don't know how you watch him and don't see the talent i think
- [23:08]
Colin Cowherd's Co-host
he's talented you can see the talent but it's never on display fully so i can't tell from that instagram post who who posted that his trainer cuz that's pretty brazen to say qb one loading bro you barely been in the facility you just got to the team and you're announcing yourself okay so let
- [23:25]
Colin Cowherd
me ask you this i don't have his numbers in front of me what was it let's just let's just and he had battle lines in arizona we have to be fair here he played in a great division again great coach he usually had the fourth best coach in his division okay so that we have to be fair shanahan now mike mcdonald he usually had the fourth best coach in his division all right okay and without question the weakest ownership situation sure easily okay so that's that's the starting point so his career in arizona battle lines sub optimal ownership okay okay ninety two passer rating sixty seven percent completion percentage and super elusive those are real numbers okay all right
- [24:20]
Rachel Nichols
listen i'm
- [24:21]
Colin Cowherd's Co-host

- [27:44]

- [27:45]
Colin Cowherd

- [28:05]
Colin Cowherd's Co-host
right let's let's move on let's keep talking quarterbacks because this is fun let's go to arch manning our guy albert brear was on a podcast recently talking about arch manning this is interesting it was the podcast with todd mcshay and breer had a super interesting comp for arch manning in college here we go
- [28:25]
Colin Cowherd
as far as like where he is right now somebody said justin fields to me and i thought that was really interesting you know as a guy who can make plays off schedule who when
- [28:36]
Colin Cowherd's Co-host
everything is right the mistake that a
- [28:38]
Colin Cowherd
lot of people are making with him
- [28:41]
Colin Cowherd's Co-host
just from and again i'm not an
- [28:43]
Colin Cowherd
evaluator i feel like i have to
- [28:44]
Colin Cowherd's Co-host
give that disclaimer but this is based
- [28:47]
Colin Cowherd
on like the people that i'm talking to is that like that this is like peyton or eli with athleticism and that's not what this is now i'm
- [28:58]
Colin Cowherd's Co-host
sure some people hear justin fields and
- [29:00]
Colin Cowherd
and are like whoa the the the difference is i watched eli play at ole miss with no talent and he was really good and i watched payton play a ton at tennessee with a bunch of talent he was extraordinary the thing about arch it is hard sometimes to unsee things right arch was so bad in the first four or five starts last year he lost all of his confidence it is hard to unsee that so now he had a very good second half of the season but sark is a great quarterback coach and texas has tremendous talent i need to see another fifteen starts i'm really undecided on arch undecided i really am i don't know what he is well they
- [29:45]
Colin Cowherd's Co-host
just picked up the best wide receiver in the transfer portal cam coleman who's a superstar and if arch can't dominate with him i mean well a lot of questions i see some justin herbert not the size obviously but the off script stuff the playmaking with his legs i mean look at that the rollout that's justin herbert right there not as big arm arch has a great arm
- [30:06]
Colin Cowherd
justin did not play with texas talent fair justin had i mean justin didn't have the offensive schematic head coach that arch has so arch is playing with elite talent arch from an elite super smart family but he doesn't have many starts so i'm like i you know we do this every year quinn ewers grant nussmeier it's like i don't know i'm undecided it's hard for me when i see something to go okay unsee it he looks so nervous i mean he was skipping balls shake it off
- [30:52]
Colin Cowherd's Co-host
he's gonna be fine dude come on
- [30:54]
Colin Cowherd
i don't i'm not this is not a criticism i just don't know yet i think if his name was arch jacobs we keep giving him the oh it's good you got sark you got texas talent they just got the number one receiver in the portal i think i want to watch i mean he may blow me away can we go
- [31:16]
Colin Cowherd's Co-host
to a game you and i will take your gas up the private jet head down to austin for a game

mean it's just and they just and i mean think about last night you got no luca austin was awful chet holmgren was unbelievable and lebron basically on the road it was competitive it was a really competitive first half i kept waiting for okc to pull away and they didn't it was a really competitive series so i don't know i mean my my take it i think what we're looking at i think the series of the second round the series of the semis is really going to be san antonio and minnesota i don't know what the line is i haven't checked today on that but i think minnesota is just built there are some times where a team comes out flat or a player like wemby just has a bad game wemby will be better i think minnesota however just is a really tough matchup for san antonio so i think the games are going to be really close you know we said going into this season oklahoma city was favored we like the celtics if tatum came back nobody really bought detroit as a number one seed i think we all thought denver would be better we forgot about minnesota because they were a six seed the lakers are always a bit overhyped and we didn't know if san antonio really had the sea legs in the playoffs and i'll be honest after that first game they kind of got pushed around so you know they're going to come out tonight and try to make a statement i would take san antonio to win tonight but i think over the course of a six seven game series there are some things that minnesota did in game one that i think they'll be able to repeat like ant didn't play much so ant is going to play a lot more wemby's going to play better but there are things due to personnel and roster construction there are things minnesota did in game one and i think they're going to be on a fairly regular basis be able to continue to do i think wemby's going to get pushed around a little bit he's going to have better nights than game one but he's going to get pushed around a little bit and that's it for us all right good stuff i got friday off and so i am i am all my energy tomorrow no shortcuts prep all night total focus go home have some apple juice go to bed early be raring to go tomorrow baby foreign
