Oh, here we are on a Monday hour two live in Los Angeles holiday weekend holiday week. It's the herd wherever you may be however you may be listening or watching we're on I heart radio Fox Sports Radio and right here FS1 calling right calling wrong and about a minute

It was where four-page lives on a Sunday it felt real laid back to me it felt like a Sunday with more than your average explosives and and grilling but it didn't it didn't feel like like a lot of force midweek

You take the week off and it kind of felt laid back a lot of people at baseball games hanging out a lot of grilling with the family and then it got very loud across America at night.

I feel like there's usually like more build up and stuff to the fourth so maybe just because it was on a Sunday but we still got all the fireworks.

I think Christmas this year is it on a Thursday? I think Christmas is on it does matter. You know, it's funny. It does matter where holidays like Christmas is on a Saturday is it here?

Yep. Is that good or bad? I think that's bad. Nobody gets a day off.

Yeah, Christmas Eve. Can we move it? Is it too late? The NBA slide that up a couple of years. We could slide it up the NBA just for all those you like celebrating New Year's New Year's is on a Friday.

Moome made up for it might be a little turn this New Year's but yeah, Christmas is on a Saturday.

All right. We're calling right calling wrong brought to you by Jersey Mike subs new grilled portabella mushroom and Swiss delicious triate fresh ingredients make a sub above Jersey Mike's be a sub above.

Call and write calling wrong here we go where Colin was right. Chris Paul was my MVP join I kept hanging on this thing for two months.

You never got nominated. I thought it was ridiculous in game six against the Clippers 41 points on 66% shooting.

This is a franchise that had the worst record in the league for a nine year period before he arrived too often it's all about vertical it's all about dunks and flash.

We underestimate intelligence experience on the floor coaching the Andre Aiden said he's the most important player in my career.

He was the first guy that really forced me and demanded I be a different player so Chris Paul the guy we said two months ago was the most valuable player not the best stats.

Not the flashiest not the most vertical was the MVP where Colin was wrong. I've been very critical of Chris Middleton.

I've always felt on a on a championship team. He's a three but I wonder if he's not the one on this team when you honest left the average 20 9 points and 9 and a half

rebound and felt loose felt like he felt like it was sort of his team. Chris was exceptional and let's be honest he can be at time streaky but when you have

he's your star he is the buck shot maker and he proved me wrong throughout these playoffs still a bit inconsistent but he looked like in the last two games their number one where Colin was right.

Set it for years the Cowboys care more about entertainment and football and that's just not the way you're going to win championships. They're now on hard knocks they agreed to it for the third time.
