Whistle didn’t get it when Del goes up gets a big rebound and now the outlet Gary Harris this is going to be a dbb and a big one at that Paulo puts the exclamation point with a two-handed jam flips it back to Booker on the right
Wing with 20 on the shot clock Booker gives to Durant right Baseline he’ll lay it up and in what a feed from book to KD 32 on on the night for Durant highlights from around the NBA as we near the end of the season Boston Celtics get win number 60
PK ner win guys rest and people don’t seem that interested in winning regular season games 60 which used to happen once or twice a year uh one or two teams that get to that 60 win Plateau we’ve had a bunch of years now where nobody
Gets to 60 but Boston did it kind of shocking in this day and age way to go Celtics but will it yield the championship or will they be frustrated again time will tell I guess right the Nets won so the Jazz now no longer tied to the Nets all alone the eighth worst
Record in the NBA the eighth spot in the draft lottery probably the eighth spot in the draft but certainly the eighth spot in the draft lottery as anets beat the Pacers 115 to 111 win win number 30 and it doesn’t look like the Jazz have any interest in get anywhere near
Winning that 30th game no I agree completely doesn’t look like it and uh I think they can get it done the Minnesota Timberwolves with a 48 Point squeaker they beat the Raptors 133 to 85 you know what that is PK it’s a blowout it’s a masterpiece of dog
Bleep right there or does they have to get to 50 at 48 is not quite the Masterpiece it’s funny how o linic was so critical for the Jazz has not so much for the Raptors yeah right Donovan Mitchell didn’t play in Utah you know back to back got to avoid
That got to have him for the Suns game they had him but it didn’t matter Deon Booker went for 40 and the Suns beat the Cavaliers 122 to 101 Donovan Mitchell 24 points in the game but didn’t seem to matter as Phoenix Rolls NBA legend Jerry West will be entering the naith Basketball Hall of Fame for a record third time his latest election coming as a contributor to the game West is 85 years old now he’s already went already been uh inducted into the Hall of Fame as a player 1979
He also went in again in 2010 as a member of the 1960 US Olympic team and now he’ll be enshrined a third time for his role in the front office with the Lakers the Grizzlies the Warriors and now the Clippers Okay so that is the fact of uh
An NBA executive I guess so yes so NBA Executives whoever they may be could get in like a could get in for his work in Boston and we’ll see what he can do here locally with the Jazz but that that’s what that’s called that’s I guess contributor I had not heard of that
Until this but I guess that’s how they they honor the executives is is a contributor I knew you could go in more than once cuz John Wooden went in as a player and a coach and that was a big deal when that happened so West will do it a third Time DJ and PK # col [Applause] basketball the transfer portal is busy the Aggies are going great oore MVP of the Mountain West Conference leading score for the agies has entered the transfer portal also expected to go through the NBA draft process and then he will figure out where he wants to
Play basketball next year also I think he should do that right find out what your value is find out who’s interested well you know I can argue the the transfer Port I’m talking about the the draft process because if you have that opportunity to do that do that now and
See what you got for next season and all that stuff so yeah totally understand why he would be interested in doing that he certainly has uh an NBA body of size and strength and all that stuff we’ll see if uh what type of uh feedback he gets and then then he gets
To work out and all those types of things right all part of that process as he finds out what kind of value he has with the uh with the NBA teams Ian Martinez who was the second leading scorer he average 13 points a game also in the transfer
Portal so the aies we’ll all find out who’s interested what their value is and then we’ll see if Jared Calhoun who was uh on with us yesterday and we just replayed the interview he talked about hey guys are probably going in the portal but that doesn’t necessarily mean
They’re leaving anymore so we’ll see how much of the team he can hold together Yukon had issues chartering to the final four that didn’t work out that well it didn’t get till Phoenix till 3:00 a.m. local time and are now adjusting their schedule a little Wrinkle in Time right there PK messing
Them up but they got until Saturday day get back on the clock by the time Yukon gets to Phoenix sing it let her rip I’ll be rising fox has partnered with AEG and they are launching a new postseason basketball tournament that nobody asked for the college basketball Crown a 16
Team tournament taking place March 31 through April 6th in Las Vegas they’ll play in the MGM Grand Garden Arena and T-Mobile Arena Big 10 Big 12 Big East will have two automatic entries into the tournament will teams offer this tournament over the tradition of the
NIT well I don’t know what AEG is uh so we’ll see what they want to do can they get the teams to come to their tournament rather than the other tournaments there’s 17 that opted out of the NIT this year so it’s the and shuts Entertainment Group and they’re famous for things like
Building the Staple Center so they’ve they’ve been around Sports business for a while they’ve done a lot of other stuff too well that’s what I think I I said this a few weeks back somebody proposed just moving the NIT to Vegas the entire time I thought of this like
Oh they’re just going to go in sign up the Arenas and everybody else be like yeah let’s just go do that and so then you don’t have to move around but I wonder what kind of attendance they would have are people looking for excuse to go to Vegas
Well people go to Vegas a thousand times over especially on our side of the country and the gambling is everywhere um I wonder if they even care because a lot of those preseason tournaments and all it’s about just getting uh live programming on television and they don’t
Really care I mean if they cared about attendance they’d make the Maui Invitational they’d build an arena rather than a old uh dilapitated gym so they guarantee six teams into the uh tournament that presumably will bring a TV audience from around the country right the Big 10 the Big East the Big 12
And then they leave some spots open and they see if they find some teams whose fans can get to Vegas quickly and easily they they don’t guarantee anything because suppos the team from the Big 10 says I don’t want to go well they’re going to have two automatic
Entries so I don’t know if but it doesn’t matter if I don’t accept your automat injury didn’t then the tournament will end up falling apart because the NCA is going to expand and really does anybody have any bandwidth for the NIT or this unless your team is
In it I don’t know what bandwidth is so I don’t have any of that DJ and PK # NFL I mean are we better today probably not it’s it’s a work in progress and we’re going to continue to work on that I would just hope that people know as
Competitive as hell and I’m not I ain’t giving in and we’re gonna we’re going to work through this and we’re going to continue to look and I’m confident in a the guys we have on the roster and I’m confident you know the staff we have upstairs that that helps me that we’ll
Continue to find pieces to add and that we’ll be ready to roll when it comes time in September that’s Buffalo Bills general manager Brandon Bean on the Stefan Diggs trade Diggs goes from Buffalo to Houston along with a sixth round pick in 2024 and a fifth round pick in 2025 in
Exchange for a 2025 second round pick Diggs led the NFL in receptions over the Four Seasons he played in Buffalo 445 catches but he’s off to Houston the Detroit Lions match the 49ers offer sheet to tight end Brock Wright Wright will make 12 million over three years he’s expected be the ners he
Was expected to be the ners number two option at tight end after serving in a similar role this past season with Detroit where Sam leaport quickly established himself as the guy and the number one option DJ and PK # Major League Baseball and the right-handed deal swung
On hit high in the air to Right Center that balls High it is far it is gone it is is a two-run home run for Aaron judge and the Yankees Take the Lead three and one to Otani Rogers set the pitch swung on and drilled deep

Waved around here’s the throw from left it will be late and the Orioles for the second time in three days have walked it off as they win it by a 43 final James mccan the hero this time PK yesterday you were talking about the law of numbers really good players
Can’t be held down forever if somebody explodes for three homers in a game after a terrible start well that’s not surprising so I guess we can’t be surprised that sh Otani hit his first Homer of the year a 430t shot law of numbers it was coming right it had to
Happen at some point good time for the Dodgers they needed it 5-4 win over the Giants they sweep the three- game series yeah Dodgers s seven- two they already have the biggest lead of any of the divisions and I don’t think that’s going to change just sprinting away from everybody goodbye
Everybody your Rockies are already five games out nice off to us Rock Solid one and six start punching bag law of numbers for Aaron judge you heard his home run in there Yankees beat the Diamond Back six to5 Aaron judge getting his first home run of the year I
Think he was off to a three of 25 start or something terrible like that but he’s Aaron judge law of numbers had to happen they’re off to a six-1 start but the Red Sox are going with them at 5-2 the law of numbers ought to kick in for
Miami at some point they’re 0 and7 you think uh the Colorado Rockies are terrible Miami at some point has to get it done but the angels beat him 10 to2 so they get thumped once again anybody else catch your eye no the Oakland Athletics set to announce
Today or tomorrow that they will share Sutter heal park with the San Francisco Giants triaa affiliate the Sacramento rivercats for up to three seasons beginning next year while they build their Vegas Stadium that’s all according to Dave wagland of sack toown Sports so the AIL stay in Northern California and
Near some of their fans their games have been televised in uh all across Northern California for years so they have some fans when the Giants are a bigger deal but they get some fans in Sacramento well there’s one thing I’ve learned what is that when Dave wigland says something
