0:00.0 | Welcome to the Ringer NBA show. I'm Chris Varnin joining me as he does every Tuesday from the Ringer.com is Kevin O'Connor. |
0:16.7 | Kevin! |
0:18.2 | Hey Chris, what's going on man? |
0:20.4 | Well, we wake up this morning and it seems like the biggest story that came out of last night's game is Memphis Grizzlies Coach David Fizzdale. |
0:29.2 | And it is not so often that we get an epic basketball rant but it feels like David Fizzdale's is one that will not be forgotten soon. Let's play it and then get into it. |
0:40.7 | You know, it's unfortunate that I got a guy like Mike Conley who in his whole career has got zero technical files and just cannot seem to get the proper respect from the officials that he deserves. |
0:53.4 | It was a very poorly officiated basketball game. Zach Randolph, the most rugged guy in the game, had zero free throws but somehow Kawaii Leonard had 19 free throws. |
1:03.4 | First half we shot 19 points, shots 19 shots in the paint and we had six free throws. They shot 11 times in the paint and they had 23 free throws. |
1:12.4 | I'm not a numbers guy but that doesn't seem to add up. Overall 35 times we shot the ball in the paint. We had 15 free throws for the game. |
1:21.4 | They shot 18 times in the paint and had 32 free throws. Kawaii shot more free throws in our whole team. Explain it to me. |
1:29.4 | We don't get the respect that these guys deserve because Mike Conley doesn't go crazy. He asks class and he just plays the game but I'm not going to let them treat us that way. |
1:39.4 | You know, I know pops got pedigree and I'm a young rookie but they're not going to look us. That's unacceptable. I was unprofessional. |
1:47.4 | My guys dug in that game and earned the right to be in that game and they did not even give us a chance. |
1:58.4 | Take that for dad. |
2:01.4 | Alright, so first things first, which is the better line? They're not going to rule costs or take that for data. |
2:10.4 | Look, I think take that for data just with the pound of the table made it like the better overall moment but I have to say they're not going to rule cost was the better line if we're talking strictly about script. |
2:22.4 | Yeah, take that for data feels like it's going to live for a long time that that's going to be the you play to win the game. |
2:30.4 | Take that for data. |
2:33.4 | Shacer on a line comes to film versus data articles or arguments that's got that's the argument people are going to use take that for data. |
2:42.4 | Well, listen, you wake up this morning and on the ringer, Shacer ono has already immortalized the quote by giving I believe it was like 20 something reasons to use take that for data. |
2:52.4 | So people can go check that out that you in different circumstances in life in what you say it. |
2:59.4 | So the obviously the lines and the epic post game performance is going to get a lot of talk and it's going to probably overshadow the message, which is that he thinks the Grizzlies got cheated last night. |
