You're listening to the down beat on ninety seven to one, the freak no sleey. Okay, So MAVs tonight they have Chicago. They belty MAVs Detroit. On Saturday, Luca six straight thirty point triple doubles, so he was still kind of hanging in there with a huge lead to get that tenth rebound on Saturday night, Gafford four and Ohs starting center. A three game streak of no misses from the field, Is that right? Yeah? Which you mean it's not like he shoots anything, but yeah, it's pretty good.
And yeah, Chicago, so another winnable game. They got help from Boston beating Phoenix at the night maverickch just a game back from the six, so very streaky, but also teams you should beat in Detroit and then another team that you had should beat in Chicago. But then after that it's gonna get tough again. You're gonna get Golden State. You also have who else we
have? On Thursday, I saw there's a there's a paper out. There's got it, just telling Mikey during the during the break, this is not the time for them to fall into old habits that we've seen them do the past couple of seasons, maybe even earlier this season, where they got an obvious win in front of them and they tinkle around and piss it away.
Yeah, don't tinkle, Yeah, don't don't overlook these bad teams that could be that could be the straw you know that keeps them out of the top six is losing dumb games like tonight or looking at games like tonight as a dumb game. They have Chicago, then home Golden State, then at ok C, which is a TNT game, then home Denver on Sunday. What a week show, busy, busy, tough too. I mean, look, here's a game back of Phoenix for the sixth seed, but the match
of the eighth, they're a half game hind Sacramento. To worry about that, I think they could get at the Pelicans, who are the five seed. They're three games behind them, but they're just kind of running out of games to make up that time and get in the top six. Luca could use a week off, and knowing that even we could say that about Kyrie too, knowing his you know, injury history, like availability very important and
Mike's you said they're healthy now, but God, it's gonna suck. If they have to line up and play the Lakers the Warriors in a playing game, I would if I'm Jason Kidd, I'm telling those guys and stressing the tonight's game is a must win, because if you don't make tonight a must win, then it inevitably makes one of the next three a must win. Yeah, and it makes it that much harder. And they've done that.
Man, how many times have they done that? Where you walk out of a team of a patsy that they should just roll over and inexplicably they just don't show up tonight? Scares me, and it shouldn't, but it should. Don't be scared, don't be nervous. They're not gonna hurt them, all right, them losing is the worst thing that could happen. Well, that's what scares me. Oh, don't be scared. I think we're gonna see Alex Fudge tonight. I don't think Fudge is gonna get in the court.
Well, we bought this damn jersey. When can I wear it? Yeah? Tomorrow. Let me tell you something. If they send him on the court, if they put him on the court, they're gonna send him home packing anyway list, Kevin Turner all, I'm an at bad Karate movie for more at downbeat Dan on Instagram. Did I do something wrong? You did nothing wrong. You're doing great and we love you. For the first person to say that phrase is funny, and Kevin, you should get him
on No, I'm not my job. I'm invented that phrase. Min Somehow it turned into something that we all know. Wow, what phrase you know? I don't even know the phraser mintion you're talking about? Oh oh, I'm sure you do. Packer fan okay, not very nice. And they were talking about packing meat. Well, I guess it doesn't help packing cheese. They were meat packers, okay, so uh, Luca got asked about the whole like the crowded's channing, you suck, Lucas sucks. Yeah,
they're channing and Lucas it's Detroit. I'm trying to find it. I don't know why I lost the clip. I had it ready to go there it is. That's an honor from This is from the Twitter account of Grant af Seth. I don't know why I have the audio. Where's the audio? I couldn't find the audio, Lucas said, Luca's on Pistons fans channing Lucas sucks is from Grant af Seth. I don't know why they would do that. I love it. They know it's not true and they keep going,
so I don't know. This is amazing. He says they know it's not true. That's the best part of that quote. I mean, dude, Luca's numbers are so stupid right now. Yeah, it is funny that he was in to get that last rebound. Like as much as Luca, He's been one rebound er. It's just short of many triple doubles. It happens a lot, actually, But I guess now that you know the streak is going, he probably does check the board. No, he does, hang on, let me rip one more. He always has. I do believe
that. I think he is kind of a stat watcher and I don't care. Is that his coach leaving him in to get that? Yeah, that number. I think if he if Kid were pulled Luke out, Luca have been pissed. I truly believe that. And this's got Masks fans fired up on Saturday night. I didn't see a lot of it, but a little bit of in the game garbage subject in there to get stats for himself, and all those people are convinced Luke is a problem. Do you think Luca
is a problem. You need to go ram your head into a concrete wall. Yeah, you're won five. Alex Fudge is out there. I feel like sometimes people don't remember what it's like to suck, you know what. So if you any of you think Luca is a problem, I won't even talk to them. Then you need to go suck and look that will make no mistake. It's sports, and we want to win championships and you know, have our players be at their best. I don't, and you don't
want to in garbage time. But it's also an entertainment industry and it's about promoting your product. And Luca getting this record, being an all timer at this thing. It's good for the MAVs. We're talking about it, it's being written about. It draws attention to them. So if it means him staying in a game to get one rebound for a couple more minutes than he normally would when the game is clearly in hand, I don't have an issue with that. I heard it Jeff and Julie and Mike Reiner and Groobs play
some audio on the speakeasy. They're two to six pm. They played some adio elast week of Charles Barkley talking about how well Lucas shouldn't have to be averaging thirty five points a game because you know, then if everyone else is scoring, if you weren't just dribbling the ball, and look, we'll love Charles Barkley. Dude, Luca is averaging nine assists per game. He's averaging I'm sorry, he's averaging nine point eight assists per game. So round that
up. He's averaging ten assists per game, thirty five points per game, and nine rebounds a game. I mean, it's it's not insane that it averaged production that he could average for the season a triple double, which is already bonkers. So six straight thirty point triple doubles. But this is not This is not James Harden or Russell Westbrook for all the people people are trying to compare him to. It's it's not. And James Harden is always a good passer. I shit that bag, James, you know, James,
But like Luca, look, Luca can't help it. He just having him on the court. For the minutes that he's on, he's going to accidentally score thirty Yeah, that's that should not be a knock. And I don't like argument he shouldn't have to score thirty five points. Well, he shouldn't have to, but he's going to no matter, no matter what. That's just what he does and who he is. He's not trying to fill up.
Sure, no that column. I made a bet at the All Star Game and the over under for the remainder of the season was over under five and a half triple doubles, and I bet over and then row six in a row. Easy knock that out in the thirty point five eleventh. I mean these are like Ben Simmons triple doubles, where you get ten points and do the rest. A text that came in ninety seven to two says he should have come out because if he gets injured, we are fed, you
dumbasses. And here's why I'll say to that. Hey, if you ask, say you're right on that that if he gets injured, were f Well know that. The point is did you watch it? Because if you watched it, you saw Luca was not trying hard. Because the matter up by twenty he was not getting in the paint, you know, on defense, he would kind of go when the Pistons had retreated to go get the rebound. It's not like he was driving and trying to get fouled and things like
that. So Bench went nuts when he got the rebound, like proving that they all knew and he was laughing. So I mean, come on, let's not create some unnecessary drama with this thing. Yeah, he's awesome. You want to see more Alex Fudge. He's averaging one on the G League d league is four games played for the Lakers this season before the Maps acquired Alex Fudge. He's on the end of the ventures he did developing G League. And I guess if Luca pulls a quad in the first minute of the
first quarter, then maybe he shouldn't have started that game. Why don't you go to the game, Go support your guy. I actually am gonna go to the Golden State game. No, the G League game. No where do they play Arlington. Let's right up the street, bro. I don't know if this is confirmed, but I think I'm going to the game against the Warriors, and I think I have the very good s. You said
you have the hooker seats better, you're gonna break your neck. I got the guy who was looking at the hooker seats, So the hooker is going to be behind me, behind me. How did you do that? What connection? You have a much too successful friend. It's called his brother. Actually well yeah, by yeah, kind of by proxy front row. I got to sit there for one half earlier this year. Dude, we need you magic putting stickers on the Are you putting freak stickers on the door?
A freak shirt? How? Yeah? How are we going to grow this thing? Put it on on the backboard? Jump up and stick a sticker on the backboard, on the padding, on the little post and the stanchion, Yeah, the stanchion. Okay, we need stickers on the stanchion. If I jump up and just slap a sticker on the backboard right right before the game starts, you get thrown out. For sure, I'll get thrown
out. But are they going to replace the whole backboard and can be up there with a razorblade getting it off and just like screw it, go ahead and play. Can you mind touch the backboard? That's a good question. You can you look at me? The such competent I touched the back. Well, that's actually a good question. I get a sticker on the very bottom of the of an NBA backbart you gotta be up there for a minute too, because you gotta be able to stick it. No, you just
jump and slap. I don't know if the slap slap the chop. Well, what else? Birthdays? Birthdays? Real quick? Yeah? Anthony Davis is thirty one. Remember when he was out of college and young? He's thirty one. Now, did you have twenty six rebounds yesterday? Dear lord? Really? Yeah, he'll hang some big numbers. I think he did. He's just like twenty five and twenty six yesterday. Third leg Greg is thirty nine, Greg Olsen, and rumors say he hasn't rolled out from underneath
the coffee table in two weeks as we wait on his pending demotion. Okay, we don't all hide under the coffee table, Kevin. That's you. Paul Walls forty three, Grill Houston. Yes, I wanted to throw a random baseball name there for you. Mike. You know how many years you've spent running norms fantasy baseball team?

You hear that at eight forty to monk you the cabinet of characters I'm creating. Let's start talkbacks. This boss, by the way, brought to you by Almo draft House Cinema five locations in the metroplexas JJ went to their watch
party last night at the Alamo draft House in Richardson. We'll have an announcement in a couple of weeks or a week or so about when the next Let's Freaking Chill movie is because we the Downbeat are hosting it. Hell all right, go to draft house dot com for tickets. Talkbacks are coming at you now. It's from the red microphone button on the iHeartRadio ap where you can leave us a little voicemail. Here we go, oh, Kevin, here we go. I'm ready now, I promise sure. This is the day
I swear it's time down beat. I have always thought that NBC five's Rick Mitchell is the real life version of Chris Parnell's either character one of two characters, either doctor Leo Spaceman from thirty Rock or Barry Poster not King of am Radio from the great documentary thirty Rock, and his clip from the other night just proves that point even further. Love you boys. I didn't follow most of that, but I appreciate you listening. Man. I don't know the
thirty Rock reference, so it's fine. Wat you not enough to know whatever that character was. I'm sorry. It was seven episodes me this is all. But you know also there, I was just asked to come in yesterday and do it. I did not practicify. I did not do anything out work. I just decided to start talking. I'd say where the sentence would leade me, and then I opened up the envelope. I saw and read what I saw because I am an actor. Who a lord? You know
what? Add Bill Cosby to his impression list. Don't add al Pacino. You know you don't have to fill up the whole thirty seconds. Hey, got beat, what's going on? This is my Tyson. As soon as I get done clapping Jake Pulse cheeks, I'm gonna point to the oner's box and tell Jerry Jones, let's run it back with another thirty year age different fight. I call out a million dollar baby Eastwood, and I'm going to write in on a tiger and trip on five times of rooms and beat his
ass. It's gonna be one of the best fights of all times. Mike Tyson versus Clint Eastwood. Would people if Netflix did the live stream, would people go and watch Clint Eastwood die? Yeah? I bet some people he might. I didn't think about this. He might ride a tiger out to the ring. Like the spectacle that we're gonna have for this damn thing is going to be through the roof, Like we might get full Apollo Creed James Brown song playing and him riding a tiger out. This could be amazing,
could be lowered from the roof. Can I make a bold claim? I'm ready. I think Tyson's gonna win. I think Jake Paul's gonna knock him out. I don't think it'll be a knockout. I think it'll be a decision but on purpose. No, Okay, well we'll do uh. I think Tyson might hurt him. Oh look, that's what we would be watching in hopes of. But I don't think that's gonna happen. We should do Ghost Pepper Pavilion predictions for that fill absolute when it comes up, no doubt
bringing up the Eagles player retiring, Sure Jerry will be happy. He won't be coming into Dallas anymore. Oh, that's a big hole. They're gonna have to fill a lot of girls, a lot of girl But a sack game was good, good sack game. Anyways, these are all penis jokes. Danny his name was Cox, Lecher Cox retiring the penis. We got them all man, Kevin and I were following. Danny did have a questions around his head until it was explained I got it. Butcher Cox was part
of the Eagles team that had Smallwood, Johnson Peters. There's an I know there's another one on there. They had them all. I think Zoos securities job is more like, hey, you can't bring that in here, or hey, you can't be in the snake den not hold on, let me go save the zoo keeper. Well it should be someone should have been right there. He is right, He's absolutely right. Hey, you can't be there. No, it's hey, pick up that popsicle stick. Whatever happened,
whatever happened to he rose in this world. They get paid seven to twenty five an hour, Kevin, They don't exist. How am I supposed to trust these stats? And what people make? You get what you pay for? Hey, morning boys, Jay here? Uh, just wonder what I haven't heard y'all talk about the guy who got sucked off the tarmac into the jet engine. Uh, yeah, there you go, Mickey, I didn't hear about that guy getting sucked off like two months ago. Remember the
dude that ran onto the plane and oh yeah on the engine. You've handled that a long time ago. He got sucked into the engine from that weird, right, Actually sounds more offensive when Danny says it. Yeah, why are you saying it weird? It's coco nut. It's coco nut. I say coco nut. There's only one man on the station that doesn't pronounce it coco nut. All right, bastards.
