Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
This is the Dan Levitard Show with the Stugatz Podcast.
This episode of the Dan Levitard Show is presented by DraftKings. DraftKings, the crown is yours. We are looking forward to tomorrow night. We are going to be doing one of those things again where we do three shows in 24 hours, including a nighttime late-night festivity. Greg Cody is already complaining, Chris. You'll be happy to know. He's like, you guys, I've got to work.
This is a big night for me at work, and I've got mock drafts and exactos. But Greg Cody will be here, the legendary Miami Herald columnist, as part of our Thursday night extravaganza. I'll agree to come in and be a part of it, but don't bother me. It's like, what is that? Right. Don't bother me as he now, as we speak, gets and solicits about seven soldiers for his army.
He's always said he wants a staff. He wants an actual staff like a king carries around and he wants a staff. It's why he wanted to be president of the United States. How many people does it take to make him a cup of coffee? Because he sure as hell can't do it himself. What's he doing? Is he just staring at ingredients? I just kept hearing him say, I'm a K-cup man.
And apparently we don't have that here. It's like a normal coffee set up here. So he just was kept just saying out loud, I'm a K-cup man. No, we have a beautiful Nespresso is what we have here. He was saying how he he doesn't know how to make coffee. Like he didn't even know the name of the he's like, what's the contraption? They put like a filter. He doesn't even know the name.
So he's demanding a specific ā let's do some play-by-play here. This would be a good place for the telestrator because we don't use the telestrator correctly. This is Greg Cody not doing the show, late for the segment, not able to help us do work here.
Five people are there trying to help him.
Because all of the people are around the coffee machine making him a single cup of coffee. That's what's happening right now.
Danny's just getting up. Danny's getting up.

Chapter 2: What are Greg Cody's thoughts on being a K-Cup man?
He's saying it's available at the Greg Cody merch store, and it's not available at the Greg Cody merch store. That hat just reminds me of Dumb and Dumber.
Mock. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Mocking. I don't know. Every time I think of Dumb and Dumber.
This is a big time of year, Zaslow. Greg Cody takes a lot of pride in getting more exactos than Mel Kuyper. He's got a very good streak of getting it more right than Kuyper when it comes to the NFL draft.
So I saw, because I at least, you know, I saw today, I guess it came out, where he released his mock draft. And how many does he, like exactos, what would he say is a good year for him?
We'll find out when he rejoins us later in the show after his coffee is properly made. I wanted to talk about the basketball last night. Three upsets. That's rare. Two double-digit dogs winning.

Chapter 3: How does Greg Cody's coffee-making experience reflect his personality?
Rare. The story of the league, of course, is I didn't know they had a concussion protocol in that sport. I was not even aware. I've never heard those words associated with that sport before. Didn't know there was one in the NBA before Wemba Nyama, the player that it can't happen to, it happens to. And now Portland, a disaster of a franchise right now. Excuse me. Because their owner is cheap.
The only one in basketball known as cheap. There are no others. Sterling's been run out of the sport. When I say there are no others, there are no others ever in that salary cap age where a team is getting smeared with cheap.
It's got to be so deflating if you're a fan of a team who has a relatively new owner when you learn, oh shit. We got one of those guys. And there's nothing you could do about it. You can't trade, you can trade bad players. You can release bad players. There's nothing you could do about it. We have a shit owner. The dude has been there legitimately one month, maybe less.
I went to an event, the Nike Hoop Summit, which is held at the Moda Center, and it was like three weeks ago, and it was starting to bubble about this news. And I started making some calls, and I'm like, oh, I think we have a bad one. Like, I think we got a bad one. Such a bad realization. And you start it starts to give you shivers because you you got him.
You're like, oh, yeah, the Hurricanes have won a bunch like this. And you're not digging into the nitty gritty on how they've lowballed their coach and how he basically took off the radio broadcasters that were legendary and then took the TV broadcast and then just simulcast it on the radio. Is that true? Yes.
Okay. No, let's talk about this for a second, because I don't think people realize what's happening in Portland. OK, and Trista was right in bucking on the idea that Portland is a sorry franchise. It is not. It has been run by one of the great owners and richest owners known to sports. Portland's franchise has been very well run. and is the most opulent of the franchises.
And now a guy's coming in, and he is cutthroat, and he already did this with the Carolina Hurricanes and has been rewarded for it. Comes in and guts the soul of the franchise and then says all that matters is winning. It doesn't matter. Get out of the hotels. Players, get out of the hotels at 1230. Get out of your massages. I'm not having support staff get free tickets anymore.
I am not allowing all of these people to travel. And what ends up getting... Getting eaten there is somebody from business not understanding the soul of sports. It's how what happened to Luka in Dallas. It's how that happens. Somebody who doesn't understand what the relationship is and says, no, it's just business. Get out of the hotel at 1230 when we're on the road. Players, I don't care.
You're players. You work for me. Everybody get out. We need to save money. We can't have late checkouts.

Chapter 4: What insights does Greg Cody have about the current NBA playoffs?
Download the Moneyline app or visit Moneyline.com to learn more. Moneyline. Make money easy. What is the fine for I had Derek Fisher playing for both the Lakers and the Spurs?
$250. It's a bad one. I think we call it a Twinkie. Call it a day.
A $20? Yeah. Wait a minute. All of that doesn't add up to $20? That's my $20. Call it a day. Call it a day. All right. $20 it is. I put that $20 there. You're supposed to give me four fives. That kind of thing. Guantanamo fin. Give it up. I'm sorry to do that to you, Greg. $20 it is. Deal.
Chapter 5: What are the implications of a cheap owner in the NBA?
We're done. Last night... Three games, all of them upsets. Two of them on the road, two of them with double-digit dogs. Okay, that Philadelphia game. On the nights that Boston is missing their threes, they are unbearable to watch. Like, it's just impossible to watch. You're going to keep trying to get back in this game from 30 feet out with every shot you're shooting?
That's how they lost last year to the Knicks. Um, it's super interesting to watch that as the only Achilles heel that a team has that they can shoot the lights out in four of seven games. Like they really have distorted how it is. We're playing the sport where I just need four of the games for you guys to make your threes. Just don't make it three of the games, make it four of the seven games.
And then they put up that stinker. Like that was just terrible last night where they lose as a 15-point favorite at home and get buried the whole game because Maxie at the end when you're up to, Maxie buries your stars with the threes.
And I think they went up 16-0 to start the game. Celtics did. So it wasn't even like they had it and then they just melted immediately. I think we're missing the biggest point of last night, which was Vijay Edgecombe. Welcome to the NBA, my brother. Yo, Bimini, stand up. Bimini, stand up. You know about Bimini? Love Bimini. I almost got a house in Bimini. I think Dexter killed somebody on Bimini.
You should get a house in Bimini. We should go 50-50. No, I didn't say that, but you should get a house. You think I should so that I can lend it to you when I'm not there? And you let me stay there. Great fishing in Bimini.
This is why it was a great basketball night, because I don't know what the best story was, okay? So here's what you've got in the three games, and it's not just upsets, and it's not just the series being upside down. In the late game, the Rockets have taken 44 more shots than the Lakers in that series, and they've made fewer field goals. That team can't shoot.
Kevin Durant's there to shoot nine turnovers last night, and LeBron buries him, and LeBron's the leading scorer in the game. He's the oldest player in the league. It's just insane. It's an insanity.
I thought he couldn't impress you anymore.
Well, yeah. Yeah, it's just he's the oldest player in the league. And I'm saying if he does this, if he wins this series, it's the most impressive thing he's done in his career. And I know people think that's some sort of rhetorical trick. He came back from 3-1 in the finals because Draymond Green kicked people in the junk.
