3
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:13,119
Speaker 2: thought you should on the toilet this way, so you

4
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:14,880

5

00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:21,320

32
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 3: ahead to here in the second round, got three of them,

33
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 3: in fact a bit of a surprise with two of

34
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 3: them ending last night. Let's do a quick recap of

35
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 3: those Western Conference games last night, and then we'll get

36
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 3: into these Suns Nuggets and then we'll move to the

37
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 3: Eastern Conference series and predict those. But yeah, Devin Booker

38
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 3: erupting for forty seven points as the Suns eliminate the

39
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 3: Lakers in Game six, A bit of a shocker task.

40
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 3: It was sort of well, I get over in a hurry.

41
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 3: I mean, Phoenix came out and punched the Lakers in

42
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 3: the mouth, and the Anthony Davis injury came into play

43
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 3: very early, and it was it.

44
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 4: Was over the Phoenix Suns all grown. They came into

45
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 4: Los Angeles and showed they weren't afraid. Their defense was

46
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 4: looking great, and then Anthony Davis goes out five minutes

47
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,920
Speaker 4: in with that growing injury, and that incredible Suns defense

48
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 4: just did not let up, and Lebron was not enough

49
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 4: to overcome everything that the Sons are right now, including

50
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:45,919
Speaker 4: you know, Jay Crowder who has hit his Miami heat

51
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 4: type streak from last year, hitting six threes, and Devin

52
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 4: Booker feeling oh so fricking confident now. It took him

53
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 4: a few games in this series, but dropping forty seven

54
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 4: doing the Tray Young like shoulder shrug at the end

55
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 4: of the game. I'm pretty sure he was watching Trey

56
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 4: Young end a series in Madison Square Garden the night before.

57
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 4: Then he goes into LA and does it, and they

58
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,079
Speaker 4: didn't need Chris Paul to be at full strength. Can

59
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 4: you freaking believe that? I think they do need Chris Paul.

60
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,920
Speaker 4: We'll talk about that later on when we preview Sons

61
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 4: and Nuggets, But all that to say, man, this freaking

62
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 4: team absolutely knows their roles. Devin Booker had to be

63
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 4: a superstar in this series, and he ended up being

64
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:29,360
Speaker 4: the best player in this series. In the series with

65
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 4: freaking Lebron James and Anthony Davis, who obviously was not

66
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 4: himself and everyone questioning should he have been out there?

67
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 4: But it's all about the suns for me. We talk enough.

68
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 4: I think about Lebron and his legacy. And then you

69
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 4: saw Lebron hand over his jersey after the game. Postgame

70
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 4: locker room signs his jersey for Devin Booker, who, yeah,

71
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 4: is just feeling oh so freaking good in his first

72
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 4: playoff run. Man doesn't seem like it's his first playoff

73
00:03:56,360 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 4: run the way he's feeling it. Forty seven. I know,

74
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 4: we just say numbers all the time, but forty seven,

75
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 4: that's that's incredible.

76
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, twenty two in the first quarter alone, hit eight

77
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 3: three pointers. He was cooking the Lakers in the mid

78
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 3: range game. They just came out and just attacked Trey

79
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 3: like right from the drub. I like how they attacked

80
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 3: Anthony Davis. Even they're like, oh, oh, he's gonna play hmmm,

81
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:21,839
Speaker 3: all right, well let's see if he can actually move laterally,

82
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 3: And the answer was he couldn't and he had zero

83
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 3: explosiveness and that's why he was off after five or

84
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 3: six minutes after he sort of reaggravated the groin or

85
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,479
Speaker 3: whatever it was. But that was smart by Monnie Williams

86
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,040
Speaker 3: and Booker and CP three, like, let's go at him

87
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 3: and Jay Crowder is going to be open here because

88
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:37,480
Speaker 3: ad probably can't get out there to get him.

89
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, what did you call it yesterdayly a clinical elimination

90
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 5: something along those lines. That's exactly what it was for

91
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 5: the Suns. They saw Anthony Davis come out and say,

92
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 5: let's see how that leg's working, buddy. It was not working,

93
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 5: and the Suns took care of business. I don't know

94
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:55,160
Speaker 5: what the final score ended up being in the first quarter,

95
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,359
Speaker 5: but when I first looked at the box score, it

96
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 5: was twenty two and eighteen Devin Booker. And that's kind

97
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 5: of you just knew what the writing was on the

98
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 5: wall for the Lakers last night. Shout out to the

99
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 5: Suns not letting them off the hook at all. If

100
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 5: you come into a game and you see Anthony Davis,

101
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:10,479
Speaker 5: who was dominant in games two and three, you see

102
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 5: he's not gonna be able to play in game five.

103
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 5: You see he's gonna be limited in Game six. Could

104
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 5: have been easy for a young team that doesn't have

105
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 5: a lot of playoff experience to say, oh, we got this,

106
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,159
Speaker 5: this is gonna be easy. That was not the case

107
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 5: at all for Phoenix. They came out smacked the Lakers

108
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,159
Speaker 5: right in the face. It was over after a quarter.

109
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:28,480
Speaker 5: Ended up being what I guess, twenty two to fourteen

110
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 5: for the Lakers or for Devin Booker, whatever it was

111
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 5: in the first quarter, but incredible stuff. The Lakers just

112
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 5: weren't close. They didn't get contributions from any of their

113
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 5: role players. They just seem to know that they were

114
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 5: drawn dead once Anthony Davis wasn't going to be at

115
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 5: full strength and Lebron wasn't enough to lift the Lakers

116
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:49,039
Speaker 5: over the Suns. Impressive win for Phoenix, great series for them.

117
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:51,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, for the first time a team led by lebron

118
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:53,840
Speaker 3: Ley has been eliminated in the first round. It's Devin

119
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:57,039
Speaker 3: Booker the King Slayer here, which I'm excited about. I

120
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 3: do love that. I love a Booker man, But yeah,

121
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 3: what'd you think about Lebron overall in this game? Like,

122
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:05,159
Speaker 3: it wasn't Lebron We've obviously seen in the past, that killer,

123
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 3: you know, look in his eyes, attack, attack, attack, What happened.

124
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 3: Did he just like sort of know he was eltmanned?

125
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 3: Did he just like is he exhausted? Do we give

126
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:16,720
Speaker 3: him the excuse of the ankle? What did you think

127
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 3: of his game at least in this one.

128
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:19,600
Speaker 6: Well a little bit of all of that, I mean,

129
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:21,839
Speaker 6: but the Sons did come out from this start of

130
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 6: this game and took control, so Lebron was playing catch up.

131
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 6: And when Anthony Davis was out, as we've seen at

132
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:29,479
Speaker 6: other times in this series, that offense, if it's not

133
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 6: coming from Lebron, really you're wondering who who's going to

134
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 6: generate it? And Lebron has to do so much for

135
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 6: that team. He ended up playing forty one minutes last night,

136
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,479
Speaker 6: and you know it wasn't closed, but it got to

137
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 6: ten with about eight minutes to go there, and it

138
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:45,040
Speaker 6: just like it was in Game four there on Sunday

139
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 6: in Los Angeles, it was like, what happens now? Because

140
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 6: this team is inexperienced apart from of course Chris Paul

141
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:53,280
Speaker 6: out there. But that didn't the Sons didn't give it up.

142
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 6: And I think crucially here as well, for Monty Williams,

143
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,040
Speaker 6: Devin Booker played forty six minutes. He didn't at any

144
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 6: point sort of look ahead to the next series and say,

145
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 6: I want to get my guy out in case he

146
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,920
Speaker 6: gets injured or rest him. It's like, no, you've got

147
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 6: to kill the Lakers now while you get the chance.

148
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 6: And I think that's what's the most impressive thing for

149
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 6: me about this. In the Phoenix Suns, they were down

150
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 6: to one in this series, you know, and it looked

151
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 6: like perhaps they were going to get overrun because of

152
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 6: the injury to Chris Paul and because the Lakers had

153
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 6: seemed to found their groove. But that didn't happen. Of course,

154
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 6: the injury to Anthony Davis has an impact on that,

155
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 6: but that's not to take anything away from Phoenix. They

156
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 6: won this game last night. This wasn't like the Lakers

157
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 6: had no power at all. I mean, they've still got

158
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 6: Lebron James, and anytime Lebron's on the court, his team

159
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 6: is usually the favorite. But that's what really was for me.

160
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 6: Jay Crowder started hitting threes again. He goes through these phases,

161
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 6: you know, he can hit threes and then he can

162
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 6: go cold for a few games. But he didn't do that,

163
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 6: and so that's what I think the Sun's takeout of

164
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 6: this is this wasn't in any way a hollow victory

165
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 6: because of the Anthony Davis injury. It wasn't in any

166
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 6: way something that you can say, Wow, they got lucky.

167
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 6: At any time they won this series. They were in

168
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 6: a battle in this series, they trailed in this series,

169
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 6: they lost home court, and they four back. And it

170
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 6: really was their young star, their franchise star, who stood

171
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 6: up the most here in Game six, and again I

172
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 6: think he was six to six in that first quarter,

173
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 6: could not miss that step back over Anthony Davis early

174
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:14,239
Speaker 6: was just gorgeous. And then once those three started following,

175
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 6: they built that lead and didn't really surrender it. I mean,

176
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 6: you knew the Lakers were going to make a push,

177
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 6: as I mentioned, but the Suns still had enough in

178
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 6: their game to make sure they closed this out and

179
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 6: didn't give Lebron even just a sniff, even just a

180
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 6: chance to maybe extend it to overtime or to win

181
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 6: this game. So super impressed on all counts here from

182
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 6: the Phoenix Suns, and they go into the next series

183
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 6: and should feel very very confident with themselves.

184
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:39,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just love how defensively they did play Lebron

185
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 3: because I think they just look at the rest of

186
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:44,199
Speaker 3: the Lakers roster, especially with a hobbled a d Or

187
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 3: when he wasn't even out there, and they go, well,

188
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 3: who's going to beat us? There's not a great a

189
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 3: bunch of shooters on this team, like a Lebron team

190
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:54,320
Speaker 3: usually at the least in the playoff series. If you

191
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:57,079
Speaker 3: go back and look at all his squads, he usually

192
00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 3: has one like knockout three point shoot or at least one,

193
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:03,320
Speaker 3: sometimes two where it's like, well, we can't load up

194
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 3: too much on Lebron because he's just gonna pick us

195
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 3: apart to this one particular guy who's you know, gonna

196
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 3: shoot fifty or sixty percent from three task. We know

197
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 3: this as Raptors fans. We saw the Raptors load up

198
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 3: on Lebron in playoff series many times. And who was it?

199
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 3: It was like JR. Smith just torching them with wide

200
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 3: open three after wide open three. You know, Mike Miller

201
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 3: comes to mind, of course, like I said, Jr. Even

202
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:27,719
Speaker 3: bubble KCP last year was that guy that was sort

203
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 3: of like their best sort of three point shooter. But

204
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 3: in this series, shrewder eight for twenty six from three

205
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 3: Wesley Matthews, your boy seven for twenty five, Kuzma four

206
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 3: for twenty three, an injured KCP only four of nineteen,

207
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 3: and Carus of five to seventeen. So like, it was

208
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 3: just a great game plan I think from the Suns,

209
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 3: and they had the defensive guys in Crowder and Bridges

210
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:49,959
Speaker 3: and just like everybody could lock in zero in a

211
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 3: little bit wall off to some extent Lebron, Oh yeah,

212
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 3: Scott the ankle sprain is obviously old and has a

213
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 3: lot of mileage on his legs, and that's the way

214
00:09:58,160 --> 00:09:59,679
Speaker 3: to play it. Try and make these other guys beat him.

215
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 3: They couldn' like their best shooter was Marc Gasol to

216
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 3: us and you know we know he's not gonna let

217
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:07,320
Speaker 3: any three corners go. Yeah, exactly. So well, great game

218
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 3: plan and you know, to some extent, once eighty's out

219
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,720
Speaker 3: of the equation here, they just don't have the roster.

220
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 3: I think that we've seen work time and time again

221
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 3: with a Lebron team, which is to have been as

222
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 3: many shooters as possible around them.

223
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:22,200
Speaker 4: In my opinion, Yeah, those guys didn't come through in

224
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 4: last year's roster that was a championship winning roster. Was

225
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 4: it all that different? No?

226
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 3: But majors hit shots, Yeah, exactly, Rondo was hitting shots,

227
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 3: KCP was hitting shots.

228
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, for sure, KCPA was a big difference. And yeah,

229
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:38,439
Speaker 4: they tried here in desperation, the center moved going from

230
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 4: Andre Drummond to Marcus Sool here to try and open

231
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:44,320
Speaker 4: up the floor. That was definitely the game plan. But

232
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 4: if yeah, if you look at them, you if you

233
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 4: look at a defense against Lebron, you usually see it shrink, expand, shrink,

234
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:51,840
Speaker 4: expand and go out to those three point shooters. It

235
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:53,960
Speaker 4: was just shrunk in this series. It was just they

236
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 4: were just able to build a wall and Lebron was

237
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 4: not barreling through it. For most of the series. We

238
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:01,320
Speaker 4: saw it happen, you know, from Game two to Game three,

239
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:03,679
Speaker 4: I felt like Lebron was coming on, but then it

240
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 4: went back to Lebron not really driving the same way.

241
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:09,559
Speaker 4: And yeah, the Lakers were not able to open up

242
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:14,080
Speaker 4: that defense to make them expand. I know, we you know,

243
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:17,560
Speaker 4: it's it's kind of pointless putting a blame on one

244
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 4: guy because this is a team experience here. But Dennis

245
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 4: Shruder was signed to be the third best offensive player.

246
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:27,319
Speaker 4: That's what he was supposed to be, and he was

247
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:30,680
Speaker 4: supposed to take pressure off last year. They went from

248
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 4: you know, being a really great defensive unit and again

249
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 4: they're somehow able to carry that on. But they decided,

250
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:38,439
Speaker 4: you know, maybe we need a little bit of offense. So

251
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 4: they go out and get Dennis Schruter, who has wanted

252
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 4: to be a number one offensive player in the NBA.

253
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 4: He's had that issue in Atlanta. He looked really good

254
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 4: in Okay sees playoff run last year, and even though

255
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 4: the numbers actually are fairly similar to last year when

256
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 4: he was with Chris Paul and he didn't have the

257
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 4: gravity of a Lebron James or Anthony Davis, at times

258
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 4: didn't perform here. He didn't, you know, the fourteen points

259
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:07,679
Speaker 4: per game was not enough. And I'm I'm kind of

260
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 4: you know, I'm fifty to fifty as to whether or

261
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 4: not he comes back. This was not a good run.

262
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 4: He said all the right things. Afterwards, he says, if

263
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:15,320
Speaker 4: we bring back, our guys were going to go on

264
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 4: a championship run next year. He took the description of

265
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 4: his profile away, He took off took off PG of

266
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:28,960
Speaker 4: the Los Angeles Lakers away from his profile. If anything

267
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:32,079
Speaker 4: is to be made to that crap, but it is surprising.

268
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 4: It is shocking all the guys saying the right things,

269
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 4: and Anthony Davis as well. He said after this game,

270
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,839
Speaker 4: I got to be on the floor, and obviously it's

271
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 4: clear it's on me. I wasn't on the floor. I

272
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 4: don't agree that the best ability is availability, but for

273
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 4: Anthony Davis sometimes it is. And Trey said it before

274
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 4: the series. He's not on the floor at all times.

275
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 4: I expected him to be on the floor, and obviously

276
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 4: that was a part of it. So there's there's blame

277
00:12:55,640 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 4: to go around with the Lakers, but obviously emotionally they

278
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 4: were just kind of done after Ad went down to

279
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 4: get spanked like that. Yeah.

280
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 3: Absolutely, And we can do a deep dive on what

281
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:08,720
Speaker 3: the Lakers should do in the offseason, who should come back,

282
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 3: who they should target, what they can even do with

283
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 3: their team currently constructed as it is. We got lots

284
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:16,199
Speaker 3: of time to do that. But let's keep it going

285
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 3: because let's go to the other game from last night.

286
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 3: It was a lot of fun Jokich with the MVP performance.

287
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 3: He helps down the Blazers in six games. We thought

288
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 3: it was going seven. The Joker said no, especially in

289
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 3: the third quarter tray.

290
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:32,839
Speaker 5: And yeah, y'all thought it was going seven. I've seen

291
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:34,559
Speaker 5: Jokic be the best player in the league for the

292
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:37,200
Speaker 5: whole season. I was not too worried in this one.

293
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 5: But things were looking good for Portland for a while.

294
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:42,960
Speaker 5: They were up fourteen points in the third quarter. Jokic

295
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 5: did not have a great first half, only scored nine

296
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 5: points on seven shots through the first twenty four minutes,

297
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:52,559
Speaker 5: and most importantly at halftime use if Nurkic had zero

298
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 5: personal files. Then over the course of five minutes in

299
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 5: the third quarter, Nurkic picked up a quick four pack

300
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 5: of fouls, three of them drawn by Jokic. The next

301
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 5: one was a charge. Uh oh. Suddenly twenty points in

302
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 5: the third quarter for Nikola Jokic. Monte Morris hit a

303
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 5: buzzer beater to end the third quarter. It was a

304
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 5: three point lead for Portland at that point heading into

305
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 5: the fourth quarter, but Denver had all the momentum. Their

306
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 5: bench kept chipping into the lead. By the time Jokic

307
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:20,560
Speaker 5: finally comes back in the fourth quarter, it's a one

308
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 5: point game, but you could tell that Portland just did

309
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 5: not have it at that point. Jokic immediately hits a

310
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 5: three to put Denver up. They never trailed again. Good night, Blazers.

311
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 5: Incredible game though for Jokic thirty six points, eight rebounds,

312
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 5: six assists. He had at least thirty four in every

313
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 5: game of this series, except for Game four, when Michael

314
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 5: Malone called the entire team out for playing soft. But

315
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 5: I think the second star for the Nuggets last night

316
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 5: has to be Monte Morris twenty two points, nine assists.

317
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 5: In the fourth quarter. He had nine points, three assists.

318
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 5: He hit that huge buzzer beater at the end of

319
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 5: the third quarter. Big for Morale. A huge win for

320
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 5: the Nuggets to pull this off, but a bummer ending

321
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 5: to the season for Portland. Fully healthy at home, they

322
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 5: lost to a team missing two starters. Really felt like

323
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 5: the last time we're going to see this Blazers team.

324
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, it does feel like that.

325
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 4: Lee.

326
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 3: It was a bad loss and bad loss, and of

327
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 3: course should have should have got some help for Lillard

328
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 3: there in Game five, and you know you win that

329
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 3: in this completely different series, man. Yeah, Morris and Jokic

330
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:27,800
Speaker 3: picking rolling their ass to death there in the fourth

331
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 3: It was the same play over and over again. And

332
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 3: the Blazers, you know, they just have no defense as

333
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:35,280
Speaker 3: they've shown sort of time and time again. But yeah,

334
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 3: was shocking. Looked like the Blazers were like, yeah, we're

335
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 3: going to Game seven. You know, it's always playing Game

336
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 3: seven series, and it looked like it was going to

337
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 3: go back to Denver. And then you said it there

338
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 3: Trey breaking it down there with those with the fouls,

339
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 3: and then you'll get just taking over too and Lillard

340
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 3: having nothing left in the tank in the fourth quarter.

341
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 3: But yeah, Lee, what do you think again? I don't think.

342
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 3: I don't want to go like super long on what

343
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 3: ye where the Blazers go from here? Do they do?

344
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 3: We once again bring up the McCollum trade. You know,

345
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 3: is Terry Stotts out. I know it's gonna happen here,

346
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 3: You're gonna hear it on another podcast. But what did

347
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:04,560
Speaker 3: you think about the game specifically here?

348
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 6: Well, Devin Booker, of course, was the star last night,

349
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 6: but let's not forget Michael Porter had twenty two points

350
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 6: in that first quarter. He was hitting everything. I think

351
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 6: you finished with twenty six of the game. But that's

352
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 6: okay because then you start took over in the fourth

353
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 6: quarter there, Nikoli Yokich. But when it was that fourteen

354
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 6: point game in the third quarter. This had Game seven

355
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 6: written all over it, as like, there's no way Lillard's

356
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:26,600
Speaker 6: going out like this. But even you saw him in

357
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 6: that fourth quarter when the lead Lake got to sort

358
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 6: of six points and then eight points, Lillard was trying

359
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 6: a few of those bombs that we know he's hit.

360
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 6: He hit him for so long in his career, but

361
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 6: even he just seemed the legs just seemed a little

362
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 6: bit heavy and they weren't dropping, and that's when you

363
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 6: sort of knew it was over for good. So incredible

364
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 6: resilience here shown by the Nuggets of this series, because

365
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 6: they did lose Game one and again without Jamal Murray.

366
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 6: I specifically thought that was going to catch up with

367
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 6: him in the series because of their backcourt. But yeah,

368
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 6: Monte Morris, I mean in that fourth quarter was fantastic

369
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 6: driving inside when it was there or just feeding into Yokic,

370
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 6: and we know Yokic can either finish or find a

371
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 6: shooter on the perimeter there. So yeah, this has been

372
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 6: a great run here from Denver and for Portland. Yeah,

373
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 6: I think this team is going to look drastically different

374
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:10,119
Speaker 6: next season. Apart from Damian Lil I'd be surprised if

375
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:12,440
Speaker 6: you see too many of those same faces back. I

376
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:14,480
Speaker 6: think they have to do some make some changes here

377
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 6: because it's a good team. It's a good regular season team,

378
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:21,199
Speaker 6: but it doesn't really go all that far into the playoffs.

379
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:22,639
Speaker 6: I know they made the conference finals a couple of

380
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:25,720
Speaker 6: years ago against the Warriors before they got swept. But

381
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 6: at this point, I think there's some changes needed because

382
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 6: they were outplayed and Denver were fantastic and Yo Kitch,

383
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:34,879
Speaker 6: I mean, he's just so incredibly fun to watch because

384
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:37,720
Speaker 6: he doesn't get rattled. He's got so much variety to

385
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 6: his game. He complains a lot like Don Chic every

386
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:43,360
Speaker 6: time there's a fowl. He's got that to the referee.

387
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 6: But they're a fun team, and I'm happy for Michael Malone.

388
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 6: I really am happy for the Nuggets to advance here,

389
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:50,919
Speaker 6: and they haven't got a lot of time to prepare

390
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:52,119
Speaker 6: for their next round. They're going to be in for

391
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:53,879
Speaker 6: a tough one immediately against the Suns.

392
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll start bringing that down in a second. But

393
00:17:56,040 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 3: tass any tekawez from their scheme, they jump out of you.

394
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:03,399
Speaker 4: Well, just narrative wise, I'm happy that Jokic, the MVP

395
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:05,399
Speaker 4: is moving on to the second round, so everybody can

396
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 4: shut up and about questioning him. In general, he's just

397
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,440
Speaker 4: an incredible player, and he's not the player that used

398
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:14,680
Speaker 4: to fade away at times in the first quarter or

399
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 4: second quarter or third quarter. Yeah, he had one subpar game,

400
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 4: but every great player does. He was fricking phenomenal throughout

401
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:24,359
Speaker 4: the entire series. And then on the other side, I

402
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 4: think it's time for the Blazers to go to a

403
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:30,199
Speaker 4: real defensive type center that's agile enough not to be

404
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:32,680
Speaker 4: pick and roll to death. I don't think it's the CJ.

405
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 4: McCollum move. I think it's just it's time to move

406
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:36,560
Speaker 4: on from use of Nurkic and to get a real

407
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 4: a defensive guy that can cover everywhere. And not to

408
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:43,160
Speaker 4: put this on your Nurkic, but when it's when you've

409
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 4: got Lillard and McCallum in the backcourt, that's that's going

410
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:48,160
Speaker 4: to be the game plan is to try and beat

411
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:50,639
Speaker 4: them up, trying to get by them, and they need

412
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:52,719
Speaker 4: better defense around him. They tried it this year with

413
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 4: Robert Covington and Derek Jones Junior, who obviously wasn't really

414
00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:59,439
Speaker 4: a part of the rotation there, but then you know,

415
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:01,719
Speaker 4: Nurkic is the backbone. You can't just pick and roll

416
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:03,880
Speaker 4: of the team if they have got a really agile big.

417
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 4: So it's time I think for them to move on

418
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 4: from there. And his quote after the game wasn't all

419
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 4: that Rosie vote his future in Portland. He was asked

420
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 4: if he wanted to be in the right situation. He said, yeah,

421
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 4: in the right situation. Yes, what's the right situation, We'll see.

422
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 4: I don't know yet, because this is not it. Maybe

423
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:22,680
Speaker 4: he wants the ball more. I don't know, but I

424
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 4: don't know. Maybe he thinks he can be nikoliokichefter being

425
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 4: his teammate for a long time in Denver. But it's

426
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 4: they got to move on. They just it's not his fault,

427
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:33,920
Speaker 4: but they've got it. If you've got an all offensive backcourt,

428
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:36,440
Speaker 4: you need an off defensive front court.

429
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 5: For me, I think the all offensive backcourt is personally

430
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:40,879
Speaker 5: the problem. I think they stayed attached to c J.

431
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 5: McCollum for way too long. The Blazers are not a

432
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:46,720
Speaker 5: great team. Damian Lillard is incredible and he's carried this

433
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 5: team farther than a lot of players could. But I

434
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 5: mean c J. McCollum didn't outplay Michael Porter Junior, and

435
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 5: we thought that was going to be the case coming

436
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:56,719
Speaker 5: into this series. We said, maybe Michael Porter Junior has

437
00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:58,639
Speaker 5: got to score twenty five twenty six a game to

438
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:02,119
Speaker 5: be able to equal what CJ McCollum did. CJ, you

439
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:04,160
Speaker 5: know he was going giving you as twenty points a game.

440
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:06,720
Speaker 5: That's about it. Not a lot of impact in this series.

441
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then I mean it was it turned into

442
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 3: like this duel of course between MVP Yokich and then

443
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:14,960
Speaker 3: this unbelievable Damian Lillard like for most part throughout the series,

444
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 3: but you know, you saw time and time again it

445
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:20,080
Speaker 3: felt like, Ley, you do need help. You need guys

446
00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:22,440
Speaker 3: to hit some like timely shots at the very least.

447
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 3: And you know, Michael Porter Junior catching on fire in

448
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:27,880
Speaker 3: the first quarter was huge, But like Austin rivers another

449
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 3: like sort of like classic Dagger Rivers three late in

450
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 3: this game, Aaron Gordon had one in the corner. Jamichael

451
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 3: Green was like grabbing huge offensive rebounds and making big

452
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 3: plays and it was just like, you just look at that.

453
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:41,639
Speaker 3: A little help for Yokich, it's all you need. You

454
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 3: just need some timely help, and a lot of times

455
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:46,800
Speaker 3: I felt like in this series, be it McCollum, be

456
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 3: it Norman Powell, they just came up when they had

457
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:52,280
Speaker 3: open looks to like, hey man, we need to stop

458
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 3: the bleeding here, or we need a big shot or

459
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 3: score here, and lil It really couldn't get that help

460
00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:59,640
Speaker 3: more times than not, I thought personally. But yeah, it's

461
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:02,480
Speaker 3: gonna be. I expect it to be. I don't know

462
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:05,159
Speaker 3: how it couldn't be a Raptors like sort of, you know,

463
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:06,920
Speaker 3: a huge switch up here when they had de Rozan

464
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:08,720
Speaker 3: and Lowry and you just keep sort of coming up

465
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 3: short in playoffs here. He's like, you got to do something,

466
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:14,920
Speaker 3: be it the coach or or probably probably moving one

467
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:16,119
Speaker 3: of them, but we'll see it.

468
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:16,680
Speaker 5: Yeah.

469
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:20,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, Dame had a cryptic sort of Instagram message there

470
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 6: last night as well. But look, if you're the Blazers,

471
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 6: I think you say, listen, we're not trading Lilard unless

472
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:27,120
Speaker 6: he comes and says, I've been here for now what

473
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:31,199
Speaker 6: ten seasons, eleven seasons, I've given everything. I'd like to

474
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:33,400
Speaker 6: go somewhere else, and I think the Blazers should grant

475
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:34,840
Speaker 6: him that wish if that's what he does but I

476
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 6: don't think he's that type of guy. I think he'd

477
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 6: rather just sort of stay there for now, and he

478
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:40,320
Speaker 6: doesn't want to be known as one of those guys

479
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:43,399
Speaker 6: who's asked to be traded. I think starts with probably

480
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:45,440
Speaker 6: Terry Stotts. I think he's probably not coming back.

481
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:48,159
Speaker 3: He's but some people say Lillard's loyalty to the Blazers

482
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:51,720
Speaker 3: organization and to start specifically, has kept Terry Starts there

483
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:54,240
Speaker 3: for these years, and every year Lillard says, no, he's

484
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:56,240
Speaker 3: the guy. He's fine. I love him as a coach.

485
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:59,360
Speaker 3: I mean this could could be an issue where ownership

486
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:01,080
Speaker 3: and the GM has I know you love a man,

487
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 3: I know you're like super loyal here, but we're going

488
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:04,400
Speaker 3: to try something else.

489
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:07,679
Speaker 6: Yeah, well that's that, you know, That's what you have

490
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:09,879
Speaker 6: to do if you're Neil Ushe and you have to say, okay,

491
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 6: well I can't sort of keep going down this path

492
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 6: myself if we were not winning, we have to make

493
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:17,120
Speaker 6: a change. So and little it has power. I think

494
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:19,480
Speaker 6: within that franchise, we like that because he's been there

495
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:21,960
Speaker 6: for so long, he's so loyal, and he's so beloved

496
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:24,959
Speaker 6: as well in Portland. So you're trying to not upset him,

497
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 6: but you also have to have a hard conversation, say,

498
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:28,760
Speaker 6: we can't just keep making the first round and going

499
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 6: out in the first round like that. I think so,

500
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 6: I think I think Stott's probably starts there, and then

501
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:35,200
Speaker 6: I think CJ is what they see they can get

502
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:38,320
Speaker 6: for him, and obviously Nurkisch as well, because you know,

503
00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:40,160
Speaker 6: the funny thing talk about those threes last night, yeat,

504
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:42,359
Speaker 6: Austin Rivers hit a massive one, Aaron Gordon hit a

505
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 6: massive one, and who had the chance for the Blazers

506
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:47,480
Speaker 6: down the other end, Norm Power and he absolutely clunked.

507
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:47,960
Speaker 3: I care.

508
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 6: Yeah, So yeah, that was the difference. Those sort of

509
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:54,679
Speaker 6: those margins that can really just alter a game and

510
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 6: ultimately a series. But you know, it's been good to

511
00:22:57,840 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 6: watch the Blazers. They have sort of punched above their

512
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:02,680
Speaker 6: weight for while now, but they've reached the point where

513
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:04,719
Speaker 6: it's like you can sort of see what the ceiling

514
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:07,120
Speaker 6: is for this group and they need to make some changes.

515
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:11,280
Speaker 3: Well, let's get to the Sun's Nugget series. I'm very

516
00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:13,360
Speaker 3: excited for. This series is a two to three matchup.

517
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:16,400
Speaker 3: A little chalk there with those seeds going through. Let's

518
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:18,639
Speaker 3: start breaking it down, we'll make our predictions. What we

519
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:20,879
Speaker 3: like to do with these is, you know, give you

520
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 3: the keys to the series. Just everybody knows. They had

521
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:27,320
Speaker 3: one of the most tightly contested season series of the year.

522
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:30,360
Speaker 3: Between them, their three games were decided by an average

523
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:33,159
Speaker 3: margin of five points. One game went to overtime, the

524
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:36,160
Speaker 3: other game went to double overtime, both on consecutive days,

525
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:38,960
Speaker 3: if you remember there in Phoenix. Denver ultimately got the

526
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 3: best of them in those extra frames, so they took

527
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 3: the season series two to one. Booker didn't play in

528
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:47,160
Speaker 3: one of the games, but Game one Nuggets Suns Monday

529
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 3: night at on TNT, the late game. So Lee, why

530
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:52,359
Speaker 3: don't you go to start? What's your key to the

531
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:54,040
Speaker 3: series here between the Suns and the Nuggets.

532
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 6: Well, I'm going to start with the Nuggets backcourt because

533
00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:58,520
Speaker 6: it did pretty well against the Blazes. We thought I

534
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:00,199
Speaker 6: was sitting the U and I skates the ya going

535
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 6: to be a weakness. Lillard was huge, McCollum's numbers were good,

536
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 6: but he just didn't have the impact. But now for

537
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:10,200
Speaker 6: the Nuggets starting backcourt of Austin Rivers and Compazzo, it's

538
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:12,159
Speaker 6: going to be up against Chris Paul and Devin Booker.

539
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:14,200
Speaker 6: Now Monte Morris, as we talked about, he was probably

540
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 6: the nuggets third best player in the series, and I

541
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:19,160
Speaker 6: wonder if Michael Malone considers starting him because I think

542
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:22,119
Speaker 6: he's the best scorer of those three out of Compasso

543
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 6: and Austin Rivers. But either way, all three of them

544
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:27,879
Speaker 6: need to be really good. You know, can Austin Wevers

545
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 6: win them the playoffs? For Austin Rivers, you will be

546
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:37,840
Speaker 6: will because listen, if you can do one quarter like that,

547
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:39,760
Speaker 6: that could be huge for the Nuggets. Because I do

548
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:43,320
Speaker 6: also think fatigue could play a factor here, mainly for

549
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:45,480
Speaker 6: the Nuggets, because if you look at the four teams

550
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:47,720
Speaker 6: who made the conference finals in the Bubbles, only the

551
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 6: Nuggets remain. The Heat Lakers and Celtics won three games

552
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:52,879
Speaker 6: in the playoffs this season, and if you look at

553
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:54,760
Speaker 6: the knock on effect of that, pat Riley has said

554
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:56,720
Speaker 6: everyone in Miami, we're taking a month off. We have

555
00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:59,919
Speaker 6: just exhausted. Brad Stevens no longer the coach in Boston,

556
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:02,320
Speaker 6: Danny Angers moved on, and Lebron while he did play

557
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:04,639
Speaker 6: in the series against the Suns, he suffered the longest

558
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:07,359
Speaker 6: layoff of his career just before the playoff, and Anthony

559
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:09,080
Speaker 6: Davis of course was injured there too, so I think

560
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:11,840
Speaker 6: there's some sort of a link there. And the Nuggets

561
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:14,960
Speaker 6: also already without their second best player in Jamal Murray,

562
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:17,520
Speaker 6: coming off a tough six game series against the Blazers,

563
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:20,120
Speaker 6: and they immediately go onto the road to play Phoenix,

564
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:22,439
Speaker 6: and apart from obviously Chris Paul and Ja Crowd, no

565
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:27,200
Speaker 6: one really has that playoff experience. So I think that

566
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 6: could play a factor here because you know that the

567
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:32,240
Speaker 6: Suns are going to be feeling great, and I know

568
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:34,760
Speaker 6: that having home court advantage is going to be huge,

569
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:36,480
Speaker 6: I think in this series, and I think that could

570
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:40,080
Speaker 6: be a key here. So that backcourt for Denver has

571
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:43,440
Speaker 6: to be huge from the start. They can't they can't

572
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:45,120
Speaker 6: afford to get off to a slow start, and they've

573
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:47,400
Speaker 6: got to try to make Devin book when Chris Paul

574
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:50,280
Speaker 6: work on that defensive end. And again I think maybe

575
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:52,680
Speaker 6: Monte Morris is a little bit better at just making

576
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:56,480
Speaker 6: Devon or Chris Paul work, whichever one it is, because

577
00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:58,320
Speaker 6: if they can just get into their offensive flow, it

578
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 6: makes it a lot harder, I think for the Nuggets

579
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:02,200
Speaker 6: to keep up. So it's going to be a fascinating series.

580
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 6: I think the Nuggets, obviously with Jokich there have the

581
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:09,320
Speaker 6: ultimately the best player currently in the series. But I

582
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 6: just wonder if that backcourt will they survived against the Blazers,

583
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:14,680
Speaker 6: but I didn't think outside of little of the Blazers

584
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:17,320
Speaker 6: were all that good. Will they be able to sort

585
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:19,400
Speaker 6: of keep up again with these guys in Chris Paul

586
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:21,439
Speaker 6: and Jay Crowd and then when guys coming off the

587
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:23,639
Speaker 6: bench like you know, whoever it is there for the

588
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:27,199
Speaker 6: Phoenix Huns just again keeping up the pace. So that

589
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:29,000
Speaker 6: I think is the biggest question for the Nuggets. Again,

590
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:30,760
Speaker 6: when you start on the road, you've got to get

591
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 6: off to a good start, and that's going to be

592
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 6: the toughest part I think for the for the Nuggets

593
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:35,919
Speaker 6: coming off this tough series.

594
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:37,520
Speaker 3: Cass, what do you think key to the series?

595
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 4: I think it's gonna be a pretty big jolt going

596
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:45,720
Speaker 4: from the Blazers defense to the Sun Ye. Yes, yeah,

597
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:46,560
Speaker 4: that's the biggest thing.

598
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:49,120
Speaker 5: I mean, no defense to add defense.

599
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:52,600
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, So Yokich is gonna score no matter what

600
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 4: he does. It doesn't matter if you' you've got the

601
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:57,879
Speaker 4: best defense against him the second best defense, I think again,

602
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:00,520
Speaker 4: it's it's going to be interesting to see what Michael

603
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:02,800
Speaker 4: Porter Junior can do because he was really good in

604
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 4: the opening series. Nineteen points per game, fifty four from

605
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:09,080
Speaker 4: the floor, forty one from three to ninety one from

606
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:11,760
Speaker 4: the free throw line. We saw the Sons were good

607
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:14,399
Speaker 4: enough to beat a team with one star. You know,

608
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:16,879
Speaker 4: whether it's a little half of Lebron half in Anthony Davis,

609
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:19,880
Speaker 4: but this is this is different. You got the one

610
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:22,520
Speaker 4: star in Jokic, you definitely need one to step up

611
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 4: in Michael Port Junior. Now, it's going to be different

612
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:29,040
Speaker 4: for him because of Michel Bridges coming at him as

613
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:32,359
Speaker 4: a defensive guy. He's four inches shorter Michel Bridges is,

614
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:35,880
Speaker 4: but he's got a longer wingspan, and I think that's

615
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:39,280
Speaker 4: going to really help Michael Port Jr. Against Michael Porter Jr.

616
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 4: It's weird. He's sixty six against Michael Port Junior six

617
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:44,840
Speaker 4: to ten, but his seven to one wingspan against Michael

618
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:47,240
Speaker 4: Porter Junior seven foot winspan, that's going to be interesting

619
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:50,080
Speaker 4: to see him running around screens as Porter was able

620
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:52,479
Speaker 4: to do on Robert Covington or whoever was guarding him

621
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:55,119
Speaker 4: on the perimeter and score like a madman in quarter

622
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:57,679
Speaker 4: one there of Game six. This is going to be

623
00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:00,760
Speaker 4: fun to watch. So the Sons were able to keep

624
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:03,720
Speaker 4: the Lakers out of the paint because they didn't have

625
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:05,640
Speaker 4: to go to the three point line. But if Porter

626
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 4: gets going, he can open things up for Jokic a bit,

627
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:10,760
Speaker 4: but that doesn't matter. He's going to score more importantly,

628
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:13,680
Speaker 4: yet's the driving lanes for Composo rivers, Monty Morris and

629
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 4: those Aaron Gordon cuts. I'm just concerned that this is

630
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 4: finally the series that the Nuggets missed Jamal Murray finally

631
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 4: because in that season series against the Suns he was

632
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 4: really big. But TBD, if Porter steps up, maybe they don't.

633
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:33,240
Speaker 4: They have a lot of players who are obviously thriving,

634
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:36,199
Speaker 4: just because of the confidence of Nicole Jokic, all those

635
00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 4: guys I just mentioned, all those guards Lee just went through,

636
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:43,520
Speaker 4: and if if, if Porter steps up, which you know

637
00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 4: it's a big question. Mark Porter has made an incredible leap,

638
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:49,000
Speaker 4: got played off the floor last year in the bubble.

639
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:51,719
Speaker 4: He was he was, you know, sometimes in the rotation

640
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:54,200
Speaker 4: and sometimes not. Now he's going to be asked to

641
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:55,960
Speaker 4: do a lot against a really good defense.

642
00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it will help if Monte Morris continues

643
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:01,920
Speaker 3: put up like twenty five game, which he basically did

644
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:03,840
Speaker 3: over the last two in that series, which is amazing.

645
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 3: He had twenty eight right in game five and then

646
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:08,480
Speaker 3: had the twenty two and the pick and roll with

647
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:11,440
Speaker 3: Jokic the Blazers to death there in game six. He

648
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:13,840
Speaker 3: was awesome. Can he continue to do that? But Trey,

649
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:16,280
Speaker 3: what are you watching? Let's go talk some big men here, man,

650
00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:17,280
Speaker 3: you're the big man of the group.

651
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:20,240
Speaker 5: Well, guards are gonna be interesting, gonna be interesting. I

652
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:23,360
Speaker 5: don't think Phoenix is gonna let Denver off the hook

653
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:25,880
Speaker 5: quite the way that Portland did. I think Composo is

654
00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:28,080
Speaker 5: going to stay in the starting lineup with Austin Rivers, though.

655
00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 5: I think they're gonna use him on Chris Paul. That's

656
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:33,880
Speaker 5: gonna be a hilarious matchup to watch. Somebody's taking an

657
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:36,240
Speaker 5: elbow to the face by game three between those two,

658
00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:39,520
Speaker 5: it's gonna be very funny and honestly, with Chris Paul's health,

659
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:41,720
Speaker 5: I guess we'll see how he holds up. At least

660
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:47,080
Speaker 5: you're gonna expect and tangibles, defense, playmaking, veteranship, poise from

661
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 5: Chris Paul. We'll see about the shooting. Booker is gonna

662
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:53,440
Speaker 5: be lillardy again. He's gonna score points, There's no doubt

663
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:56,080
Speaker 5: about it. So to me, a lot of pressure on

664
00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:59,720
Speaker 5: DeAndre Ayton in this one. Once again, he did incredible.

665
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:03,479
Speaker 5: It's the Lakers. Sixteen points, eleven rebounds a game, eighty

666
00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:06,680
Speaker 5: percent field goal shooting, and the big number to me,

667
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:11,440
Speaker 5: eighteen fouls in six games. That's great for DeAndre and

668
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:13,560
Speaker 5: he's gonna need to do it again because he's the

669
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:17,320
Speaker 5: primary matchup for Nikola Jokic. Jokis, though, is healthy and

670
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:21,400
Speaker 5: ballin thirty three, ten and five in the series against Portland,

671
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:24,360
Speaker 5: fifty three percent from the field, forty three from three

672
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:26,600
Speaker 5: to ninety two from the line, and as we saw

673
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 5: with use off Nurkic, the guy draws fouls like a

674
00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:32,800
Speaker 5: mug eight. And though he was awesome in Round one,

675
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:34,959
Speaker 5: great all year, but he was still out played by

676
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:37,360
Speaker 5: Anthony Davis in games two and three when Davis was

677
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:40,320
Speaker 5: really healthy. The Nuggets can win this series. The Nuggets

678
00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:42,040
Speaker 5: can still win the championship. I don't know if you

679
00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:45,160
Speaker 5: guys believe me yet. A massive Yokic series is coming

680
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:48,240
Speaker 5: unless Ayton can stay on the court and limit him

681
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:50,520
Speaker 5: a little bit. Because the Sun's back court is gonna

682
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 5: do it. The advantage for the Nuggets is inside Jokic

683
00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 5: is going to ball out. Ayton has to do something

684
00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:56,320
Speaker 5: to counteract it.

685
00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:58,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I always like catch myself thinking, like how do

686
00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:00,560
Speaker 3: you guard Yokich. What's the best way to do it?

687
00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:03,480
Speaker 3: Could you get like don Nelsony with it and throw

688
00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:06,120
Speaker 3: like a smaller j crowder on him, like just get

689
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:08,520
Speaker 3: up in him. And then you're like, no, you can't.

690
00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:10,800
Speaker 3: You can't do what you maybe used to be able

691
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:13,120
Speaker 3: to do to like a younger Dirk where that's what

692
00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:15,080
Speaker 3: they would do, you know, like be it a Stephen

693
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:17,360
Speaker 3: Jackson or a Matt Barnes, like a smaller guy and

694
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:19,400
Speaker 3: just get way up on him and make them uncomfortable

695
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:21,000
Speaker 3: and try and like make him a playmaker. But you

696
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:23,040
Speaker 3: can't do a deal good because he's one probably the

697
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:25,120
Speaker 3: best passer in the league. And then two, he's just

698
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:28,040
Speaker 3: so huge, Like if you threw a crowder on him,

699
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:30,239
Speaker 3: he'd just put his ass in the basket, that's all

700
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:32,200
Speaker 3: he would do, Just back up and he'd either be

701
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:35,120
Speaker 3: fouled or he would just score. Because He's just a monster.

702
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 3: And that's like where he's obviously so much different than

703
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:40,040
Speaker 3: a Dirk, even though there are there are some similarities

704
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:41,880
Speaker 3: just with their impact on a game. And we saw

705
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:43,920
Speaker 3: what Dirk did his own run to the finals there

706
00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 3: when he really had it going. But let's get to predictions,

707
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:49,320
Speaker 3: man Lee, this is a tough one. I love him

708
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:51,200
Speaker 3: taking what all you guys are saying right now. I

709
00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:53,440
Speaker 3: haven't even made my official prediction. I don't have anything

710
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:54,920
Speaker 3: written down because I want to hear what you guys

711
00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:57,520
Speaker 3: said as the experts here. I want to know where

712
00:31:57,760 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 3: Trey was leaning, where you're leaning. What do you have?

713
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:01,760
Speaker 3: What's your prediction for Sons Nuggets?

714
00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:07,480
Speaker 7: This one is a tough one because I do think

715
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:09,920
Speaker 7: the Nuggets have the best player, but I think the

716
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:14,000
Speaker 7: Suns having home court advantage gives them the edge in

717
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:14,320
Speaker 7: this one.

718
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:17,400
Speaker 6: And again they were just super, super impressive in that

719
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:18,000
Speaker 6: first round.

720
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:19,200
Speaker 3: Obviously the I guess.

721
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 6: Word too, so I just have a little bit more

722
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:24,560
Speaker 6: faith I think in collectively the defense of the Suns

723
00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:27,960
Speaker 6: and the fact that you know, Devin Booker was incredible

724
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:30,240
Speaker 6: in his first playoff series. So I think it's a

725
00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:32,000
Speaker 6: long one. I hope it's a long one, but I'm

726
00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:34,720
Speaker 6: giving the tilta to the Suns home court advantage, I

727
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:35,880
Speaker 6: says Phoenix in seven.

728
00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 3: Okay, Sons and seven, I wouldn't be angry with that. There,

729
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:40,480
Speaker 3: serious task. What's your prediction?

730
00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:47,560
Speaker 4: Oh, is that tough? It really is. I assume the

731
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:51,080
Speaker 4: Sons have been able to manage Chris Pol's pain level

732
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:53,760
Speaker 4: and are able to keep him on the floor, because, yeah,

733
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:56,960
Speaker 4: he doesn't have to score obviously, he like he didn't

734
00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:58,880
Speaker 4: do against Los Angeles Lakers, but he needs to be

735
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:01,560
Speaker 4: on the floor just to kind of keep Devin Booker

736
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:03,760
Speaker 4: in his role of off the ball and let him

737
00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:06,000
Speaker 4: be a shooting guard. He gives the confidence to the

738
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:08,240
Speaker 4: rest of the guys. He allows Campaign to come off

739
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:10,560
Speaker 4: the bench so he doesn't have a huge burden on

740
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:13,960
Speaker 4: his shoulders, which is really important. Three days before Game one.

741
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:15,880
Speaker 4: Does that help Chris Paul? I guess, But we have

742
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:19,960
Speaker 4: seen Chris Paul, you know, crumble and fall and be injured. Frankly,

743
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:22,160
Speaker 4: you know, I just watched Anthony Davis do it, so

744
00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:24,240
Speaker 4: it's can't get that out of my mind. At the

745
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:26,080
Speaker 4: same time, it seems like they've managed to do that,

746
00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:29,480
Speaker 4: so that's really important. They are fricking tough as nails.

747
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:31,480
Speaker 4: That's why I want Chris Paul on the floor, just

748
00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:34,160
Speaker 4: to keep that up on the floor. And yeah, the

749
00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:37,160
Speaker 4: big man battle DeAndre aight and being able to stay

750
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:39,680
Speaker 4: on the floor. They managed to do it, and they

751
00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:42,640
Speaker 4: managed to be able to hold up even in Dario

752
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:46,560
Speaker 4: Sarich and Frank Kaminski minutes. So I think they play

753
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 4: one on one with with Nicola jokicchen don't let that

754
00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:51,560
Speaker 4: the passing kill them, don't let the air and Gordon

755
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:55,080
Speaker 4: cuts kill them. And they managed to pull it out

756
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:58,480
Speaker 4: in in a fight, in a scrap. I'll say seven

757
00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:01,920
Speaker 4: as well, because the Nuggets have to be mad respected, all.

758
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:05,880
Speaker 3: Right, So Suns and seven ultimately going with Okay, Trey,

759
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:07,760
Speaker 3: you're gonna run with the Nuggets. They go into the

760
00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:08,560
Speaker 3: finals here, big.

761
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:11,480
Speaker 5: Gay, Well, they're going to the conference finals, Nuggets in six. Here.

762
00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:14,279
Speaker 5: Jokic is unstoppable right now. He's been the best player

763
00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:16,440
Speaker 5: in the league from the first month of the season.

764
00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:18,359
Speaker 5: He's still been the best player in the league through

765
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:20,680
Speaker 5: the first two weeks of the playoffs. I don't see

766
00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:23,880
Speaker 5: that stopping. Apparently the stream team is saying Will Barton

767
00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:27,200
Speaker 5: maybe coming back. That would be huge for the Nuggets.

768
00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:29,120
Speaker 5: I actually think they'll do a decent job of being

769
00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:32,320
Speaker 5: able to match up on the perimeter as well. Obviously,

770
00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:35,160
Speaker 5: Aaron Gordon isn't gonna start on Devin Booker, but surely

771
00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:37,439
Speaker 5: he'll get a chance at some point. Like I said,

772
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:40,040
Speaker 5: compose O versus Chris Paul is gonna be a hilarious

773
00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:42,319
Speaker 5: matchup to watch. And I think you're gonna be able

774
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:45,120
Speaker 5: to You're gonna be able to hide Michael Porter Junior

775
00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:46,879
Speaker 5: on defense a little bit. And then yeah, he's gonna

776
00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:49,080
Speaker 5: have a tough matchup trying to score against Michale Bridges.

777
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:51,959
Speaker 5: But I'm a little bit of a Porter Junior believer here,

778
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:53,600
Speaker 5: So give me the Nuggets in six.

779
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:57,560
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm gonna hedge a little bit. I'm also going Nuggets,

780
00:34:57,600 --> 00:35:00,400
Speaker 3: but I'm gonna go Denver in seven. This will be

781
00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:04,240
Speaker 3: the weird seven game series that Denver genuinely or regularly

782
00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:06,680
Speaker 3: excuse me, plays in. I just think some things are

783
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:08,960
Speaker 3: gonna maybe disappear here for the Suns a little bit.

784
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:11,680
Speaker 3: Is campaign gonna like continue to like have like two

785
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:13,960
Speaker 3: or three monster games in this series? I mean, I

786
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:18,520
Speaker 3: guess it's possible, but I'm gonna bet against it. You know, Crowder,

787
00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:21,040
Speaker 3: as we've talked about, the guy can like never miss

788
00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:22,799
Speaker 3: or he can never hit a three, So maybe that

789
00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:25,040
Speaker 3: comes back to earth a little bit. He was unbelievable

790
00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:27,960
Speaker 3: there of course in Game six. Ah, and just the

791
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:30,920
Speaker 3: Yokich factor. He is the best player in the series.

792
00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:32,840
Speaker 3: And I think I'm ultimately That's what I'm coming down to.

793
00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:35,600
Speaker 3: As much as I love Devin Booker, Booker should have,

794
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:39,600
Speaker 3: I would assume some monster like games in this series,

795
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:41,359
Speaker 3: Like would you be shocked if we see a couple

796
00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:45,080
Speaker 3: forty plus maybe even some fifty pluses against this Denver team?

797
00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:46,879
Speaker 3: I wouldn't. I mean, we've seen it before from other

798
00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:51,040
Speaker 3: stars in series against the Nuggets, you know last year

799
00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:53,560
Speaker 3: and of course even last series with Lillard. So Booker's

800
00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:56,600
Speaker 3: probably got that under his in his bag. But I'll

801
00:35:56,600 --> 00:35:59,919
Speaker 3: go Denver in seven. But it's tight. It is tight.

802
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:03,920
Speaker 3: So tass and Lee takes Sons and seven. Trey Kurby's

803
00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:06,200
Speaker 3: got Nuggets in six, and I'm hedging, like I said,

804
00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:09,160
Speaker 3: and going Nuggets and seven, taking the road, you know, rare.

805
00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:12,080
Speaker 3: I guess Game seven win. All right, let's hear from

806
00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:14,279
Speaker 3: you guys in the stream team your predictions. Drop them

807
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:16,960
Speaker 3: below the YouTube video. Let's take a quick break though,

808
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:21,239
Speaker 3: before we get over to our Eastern Conference semifinals predictions.

809
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:24,279
Speaker 4: I thought you're talking about your trapped win, Lee. I

810
00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:26,319
Speaker 4: thought you were saying I got an exit tado, because

811
00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:27,200
Speaker 4: I got trapped win.

812
00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:30,400
Speaker 3: Here, I want to start like texting the guys before

813
00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:32,120
Speaker 3: a big game. Say, any guys horny for.

814
00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:35,400
Speaker 6: This game, I'm superry.

815
00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:36,040
Speaker 5: I'm sorry.

816
00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:39,439
Speaker 3: Next series, we're about to break down here. I didn't

817
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:42,600
Speaker 3: even take any blue juice. Yeah, all right, let's get

818
00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:46,239
Speaker 3: to them in the Eastern Conference, we've got our two matchups.

819
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:49,120
Speaker 3: They are getting under way this weekend. We'll start with

820
00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:53,239
Speaker 3: the Nets Bucks in the two three series. There Game

821
00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:57,640
Speaker 3: one Saturday night, everybody seven thirty, perfect horning time for

822
00:36:57,680 --> 00:37:00,320
Speaker 3: everybody enjoying Game one. The Bucks may have taking the

823
00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:02,000
Speaker 3: season series two games to one, but they have yet

824
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:04,320
Speaker 3: to see the Nets of course Big three at full strength,

825
00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:07,319
Speaker 3: because almost no one did except maybe the first round.

826
00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:07,560
Speaker 4: There.

827
00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:09,680
Speaker 3: Let's get to the keys to the series and we'll

828
00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:11,600
Speaker 3: make our predictions. Trey, We're gonna start with you on

829
00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:14,319
Speaker 3: this one. Nets Bucks, what's key to the series for you?

830
00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:19,799
Speaker 5: Oh skeets I am mooe Extato this one. These two

831
00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:22,520
Speaker 5: teams look so good in Round one. Can't wait to

832
00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:27,560
Speaker 5: see him smashing bodies. Exitato themselves. Don't make you Exitato,

833
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:32,160
Speaker 5: bab The honest to me is a problem that the

834
00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:34,560
Speaker 5: Nets don't have an answer for. Katie's gonna get some

835
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:38,520
Speaker 5: turns for sure, Blake, perhaps, Nick Claxton. Maybe I think

836
00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:41,040
Speaker 5: they'll miss Jeff Green a little bit. But really, the

837
00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:44,680
Speaker 5: Nets don't have a Yannis stopper obviously, so they're gonna

838
00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:47,240
Speaker 5: do everything they possibly can to help out on Gianness,

839
00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:49,640
Speaker 5: whether that's doubling him when he has the ball down low,

840
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:52,320
Speaker 5: building a wall, just playing off him, kind of challenging

841
00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:54,640
Speaker 5: him to shoot. They're gonna do whatever they can to

842
00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:58,520
Speaker 5: make other players on the Bucks beat them offensively. So

843
00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:01,480
Speaker 5: it's imperative that the Bucks hit their threes because they

844
00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:04,640
Speaker 5: got to keep up with the Nets scoring. Milwaukee finished

845
00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:07,839
Speaker 5: fifth in percentage, fifth in makes from the three point

846
00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:10,520
Speaker 5: line this year. But the guy I'm looking at most

847
00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:14,080
Speaker 5: interestedly in this series from a three point shooting perspective

848
00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:18,080
Speaker 5: gotta be Pat Connaton got the start for Dante DiVincenzo

849
00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:21,120
Speaker 5: in Game four against the Heat. He's my guess is

850
00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:22,719
Speaker 5: the guy that's going to be a crack in the

851
00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:25,480
Speaker 5: lineup as a starter, and at least Game one, more

852
00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:28,440
Speaker 5: than likely he starts on James Harden just because you know,

853
00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:31,520
Speaker 5: Pat Conton's kind of a quickish, strongish guy just like Harden.

854
00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:33,640
Speaker 5: Maybe can take some of the bumps, but he's definitely

855
00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:35,560
Speaker 5: got the guy that the Nets are going to challenge

856
00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:38,560
Speaker 5: to make some shots. Shot thirty seven percent from three

857
00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:41,160
Speaker 5: this year, a career high since he became a rotation player.

858
00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:43,920
Speaker 5: You need that guy, not the one who shot fifteen

859
00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:46,799
Speaker 5: percent in the series against the Bucks last year. The

860
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:49,480
Speaker 5: question to me is, how are the Bucks gonna possibly

861
00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:53,040
Speaker 5: kind of keep up offensively with the Nets. It's got

862
00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:55,920
Speaker 5: to be three point shooting. So Conton's got to knock

863
00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:57,960
Speaker 5: him down. PJ. Tucker's got to knock him down when

864
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:00,239
Speaker 5: he's in Bobby Portis. You need to see a Bryn

865
00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:03,799
Speaker 5: Forbes game. Basically, the Bucks have to shoot threes to

866
00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:04,480
Speaker 5: win this series.

867
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:08,759
Speaker 4: Fair guyness is gonna have to be a monster inside

868
00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:12,960
Speaker 4: because he really wasn't against the Miami Heat surprisingly even

869
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:15,240
Speaker 4: though they got a sweep. He's got to be way

870
00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:18,080
Speaker 4: way better because yeah, he does have an advantage inside,

871
00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:21,560
Speaker 4: they shouldn't be able to stop him inside. But he

872
00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:24,839
Speaker 4: only shot forty five percent from the floor against the heat.

873
00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:27,279
Speaker 4: That's a surprising number for Yen Stetkooba, who should be

874
00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:30,759
Speaker 4: able to dunk on everybody in that front line. And

875
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:33,000
Speaker 4: he took a lot of threes against the heat. He's

876
00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:36,719
Speaker 4: only six percent from three. That wasn't a typo, that's

877
00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:42,160
Speaker 4: six percent from three. Yeah, so inside, what the hell

878
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:46,960
Speaker 4: do the Nets do? Obviously Kevin Durant is going to

879
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:50,040
Speaker 4: be his primary guy, but with Yannies, you always have

880
00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:53,680
Speaker 4: a second guy there. And I think if it's Blake

881
00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:57,680
Speaker 4: Griffin starting, which is possible because they like that defensive

882
00:39:58,280 --> 00:40:01,960
Speaker 4: able ability to sort of rotate, whether it's Nick Claxon

883
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:04,919
Speaker 4: the young young fella, or they dust off DeAndre Jordan

884
00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:07,080
Speaker 4: which isn't good for the rotations, or Bruce Brown. They

885
00:40:07,120 --> 00:40:08,919
Speaker 4: really do miss Jeff Green, who isn't going to start

886
00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:13,319
Speaker 4: this series, most likely with the Planner faship problem. No

887
00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:15,239
Speaker 4: matter how you slice it, no matter how you look

888
00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:17,319
Speaker 4: at it, the Nets are going to put up a

889
00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:19,920
Speaker 4: shit ton of points. That's just the way it is.

890
00:40:20,040 --> 00:40:22,799
Speaker 4: It's just an incredible offense. So yeah, they're gonna have

891
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:26,000
Speaker 4: to hit threes, but Yannis has the big advantage inside.

892
00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:28,520
Speaker 4: He's got to be a forty point guy, I think

893
00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:31,240
Speaker 4: when it comes down to it for their wins anyways,

894
00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:33,600
Speaker 4: the Nets are going to score one hundred and twenty

895
00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:37,080
Speaker 4: one hundred and thirty points, and yeah, it's definitely a

896
00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:40,080
Speaker 4: worry something from the from the outside, but also just

897
00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:45,640
Speaker 4: Yannis has to go get it because the Bucks I

898
00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:47,839
Speaker 4: think they're just a tad over hyped right now because

899
00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:50,120
Speaker 4: they did get they did get the big sweep, but

900
00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:54,080
Speaker 4: Miami was absolutely horrendous after that. You know, the first

901
00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:56,799
Speaker 4: game was a close game and then you know, three blowouts,

902
00:40:57,200 --> 00:40:59,279
Speaker 4: but Miami just didn't know what the heck they were

903
00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:01,920
Speaker 4: doing on offense. The Nets do. And the good thing

904
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:04,440
Speaker 4: is they've got great defensive matchups for the Nets that

905
00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:08,480
Speaker 4: we'll get into. But offensively, they they're not playing the

906
00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:10,680
Speaker 4: heat anymore. They're gonna have to put up a lot

907
00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:13,200
Speaker 4: of points on the offensive. And starts with Yanni's for me, Well.

908
00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:16,520
Speaker 3: Joannis and Durant had like one of the best games

909
00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:18,120
Speaker 3: of the year, didn't they when they went like for

910
00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:20,239
Speaker 3: forty nine. I think Giannis had in one of those games.

911
00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:22,120
Speaker 3: And then I think Durant had a forty plus in

912
00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:24,520
Speaker 3: the same game, just like shooting lights out. Do you

913
00:41:24,520 --> 00:41:27,720
Speaker 3: think Nashville put kd on Giannis to start the series

914
00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:29,800
Speaker 3: task or will it? We saw a lot of Blake

915
00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:32,680
Speaker 3: on him actually, like in those two of the last

916
00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:35,759
Speaker 3: games that he got the matchup there, you know you're

917
00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:37,400
Speaker 3: saving Katie offensively a little bit. You don't want to

918
00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:38,960
Speaker 3: get him to foul trouble and the pressure that Janice

919
00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:40,239
Speaker 3: could put on. Or do you just say no, he's

920
00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:41,840
Speaker 3: our best defender, Let's put him on it, just like

921
00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:44,960
Speaker 3: they did the Bucks finally did, putting Giannis on Jimmy Butler.

922
00:41:45,560 --> 00:41:48,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, I guess you know, nash is a lot smarter

923
00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:51,080
Speaker 4: than I am. So maybe he saves Kevin Durant for

924
00:41:51,160 --> 00:41:54,400
Speaker 4: later in the games, because Yeanny should be able to

925
00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:58,240
Speaker 4: smoke Blake. He just has too much lateral speed, he's longer,

926
00:41:58,280 --> 00:42:01,080
Speaker 4: he's bigger. Kevin Durant just seems like the more natural matchup.

927
00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:06,600
Speaker 4: John Hollinger brought up a heck of an idea with

928
00:42:06,760 --> 00:42:11,640
Speaker 4: James Harden potentially guarding Yanni's down low because he is

929
00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:14,440
Speaker 4: such a stout guy. He is really good at guarding

930
00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:17,560
Speaker 4: guys in the post and you look up down the roster.

931
00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:19,520
Speaker 4: I mean I threw all those names out there. Amongst

932
00:42:19,520 --> 00:42:22,320
Speaker 4: the bigs. You got Kevin Grant, then Blake Griffin, Nick Clackson,

933
00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:25,960
Speaker 4: DeAndre Jordan, Bruce Brown, Jeff Green, James Harden makes some

934
00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:30,000
Speaker 4: freaking sense, and you can definitely hide him. You know,

935
00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:32,840
Speaker 4: you can take Harden off of Pat Connaton or whoever

936
00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:36,440
Speaker 4: and and throw him on on Yanni's At times, I

937
00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:39,520
Speaker 4: guess we're just gonna see, like every great player, a

938
00:42:39,520 --> 00:42:42,440
Speaker 4: ton of people on Yanny's all basically all those names

939
00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:45,040
Speaker 4: except DeAndre Jordan. I don't think he gets dusted off. Yeah,

940
00:42:45,120 --> 00:42:48,279
Speaker 4: that's that's a lot, man, It's a yeah. At the

941
00:42:48,320 --> 00:42:53,120
Speaker 4: same time, maybe they just score enough to win regardless.

942
00:42:53,320 --> 00:42:53,520
Speaker 1: Yeah.

943
00:42:53,560 --> 00:42:56,320
Speaker 3: Maybe they don't even talk about defense in the Nets

944
00:42:56,320 --> 00:42:59,120
Speaker 3: locker room. They're like, who cares, honestly, don't worry about it.

945
00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:01,560
Speaker 3: We'll score enough. But Lee, what's your key to the series?

946
00:43:01,920 --> 00:43:02,120
Speaker 4: Yeah?

947
00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:03,960
Speaker 6: Well, look, I do think the Bucks are as well

948
00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:06,680
Speaker 6: equipped as any other team to have players to put

949
00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:09,560
Speaker 6: on the stars. Like Yiannis athletically is big enough and

950
00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:11,439
Speaker 6: strong enough to at least stick with Katie. No one's

951
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:13,480
Speaker 6: stopping him. No, one's going to shut him down, but

952
00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:15,400
Speaker 6: at least he could be the most difficult match up

953
00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:18,000
Speaker 6: Katie faces and Drew Holliday is a really good defensive

954
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:20,719
Speaker 6: matchup for Kyrie Irving. He just plays him well again,

955
00:43:20,719 --> 00:43:22,400
Speaker 6: you're not stopping him. Kyrie is going to get his,

956
00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:24,560
Speaker 6: but he could at least make it more difficult than

957
00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:27,919
Speaker 6: anyone Drew Holiday. But that just does leave James Harden.

958
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:29,360
Speaker 6: Who's that going to be? Is it going to be

959
00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:32,560
Speaker 6: Pat Conaton, because it's either him or Chris Middleton, And

960
00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:34,759
Speaker 6: that's really I think the biggest problem here for the

961
00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:38,319
Speaker 6: Bucks is, you know, you can look that those big

962
00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:40,440
Speaker 6: three can all go for forty points easily even in

963
00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:43,239
Speaker 6: one game potentially if they had to, and you just

964
00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:45,640
Speaker 6: have to find a way to try to slow down

965
00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:48,160
Speaker 6: at least one or two of them if you can.

966
00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:51,680
Speaker 6: Middleton is going to cause the Nets to work on

967
00:43:51,719 --> 00:43:54,120
Speaker 6: the defensive end because he's been fantastic for them in

968
00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:56,680
Speaker 6: that mid range. But what sort of effect can he

969
00:43:56,760 --> 00:43:59,319
Speaker 6: have on stifling James Harden if he's on him, you know,

970
00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:01,800
Speaker 6: or if it's pa Because James Harden we know he

971
00:44:02,200 --> 00:44:05,120
Speaker 6: can get inside. He's more than happy to play facilitator.

972
00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:06,440
Speaker 6: He has to, but he's also going to be able

973
00:44:06,440 --> 00:44:08,320
Speaker 6: to shoot, hit those step backs and go to the

974
00:44:08,360 --> 00:44:10,480
Speaker 6: free throat line. So that's just a big, big problem

975
00:44:10,480 --> 00:44:14,080
Speaker 6: I think here for Milwaukee because even as we saw

976
00:44:14,120 --> 00:44:16,640
Speaker 6: it in the series for the Nets in the first

977
00:44:16,719 --> 00:44:18,719
Speaker 6: round there against the Celtics, at times, you know, I

978
00:44:18,719 --> 00:44:21,399
Speaker 6: think it was Kyrie only had fifteen points in one game.

979
00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:24,160
Speaker 6: Now they blew them out. But the point is, even

980
00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:25,680
Speaker 6: if one of the big three doesn't go off, the

981
00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:28,279
Speaker 6: other two still can, so you have to try to

982
00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:29,520
Speaker 6: find a way to stop him. But I think the

983
00:44:29,560 --> 00:44:32,200
Speaker 6: real key as well for the Bucks is to get

984
00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:34,160
Speaker 6: as many easy baskets as you can. And if it

985
00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:37,440
Speaker 6: is Blake Griffin, then Yannis has to just go inside

986
00:44:37,480 --> 00:44:39,520
Speaker 6: because you have to put pressure on that defense and

987
00:44:39,840 --> 00:44:42,719
Speaker 6: not let the Nets just not have to try on

988
00:44:42,719 --> 00:44:44,920
Speaker 6: the defensive end. So that's where Yannis has to I

989
00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:46,920
Speaker 6: hope he puts the three pointer away for this series.

990
00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:49,120
Speaker 6: I hope he just goes inside and tries to take

991
00:44:49,160 --> 00:44:52,319
Speaker 6: advantage of his athletical advantage that he has. If it

992
00:44:52,360 --> 00:44:57,719
Speaker 6: is against Blake and James Harden does have a fantastic Yeah,

993
00:44:58,200 --> 00:45:00,200
Speaker 6: I got a great subscription to the Asplet.

994
00:45:03,239 --> 00:45:04,560
Speaker 3: A Spanish version.

995
00:45:04,239 --> 00:45:09,560
Speaker 6: Of James harden As as a as a body post defender.

996
00:45:09,800 --> 00:45:11,960
Speaker 6: I think that isn't actually the worst idea in the world.

997
00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:14,640
Speaker 6: I think he can cause Jannas some problems. But I

998
00:45:14,680 --> 00:45:17,160
Speaker 6: think Jannis, if he sees Blake, he's like, right, I'm

999
00:45:17,160 --> 00:45:19,000
Speaker 6: just going into the paint. If you're the net, You're like,

1000
00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:21,319
Speaker 6: you're gonna hopefully try to draw some offensive fouls get

1001
00:45:21,360 --> 00:45:23,360
Speaker 6: Yannas in trouble. But if it can work in the

1002
00:45:23,400 --> 00:45:25,960
Speaker 6: bucks favor, that's good. But if not, then you do

1003
00:45:26,080 --> 00:45:29,640
Speaker 6: throw Kevin around on him if necessary. So I see,

1004
00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:32,720
Speaker 6: I see just a few different Even though the Bucks

1005
00:45:32,719 --> 00:45:35,240
Speaker 6: defense is good again, there's just like it's like playing

1006
00:45:35,239 --> 00:45:36,840
Speaker 6: what's that whack a Moley thing where it's like you

1007
00:45:36,880 --> 00:45:45,080
Speaker 6: can potentially buck of MOLLYU a Molly, you can potentially

1008
00:45:45,239 --> 00:45:48,080
Speaker 6: at least have good players, you know, to sort of

1009
00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:50,359
Speaker 6: stifle those other guys, but then you know someone else

1010
00:45:50,440 --> 00:45:51,440
Speaker 6: is going to pop up and score.

1011
00:45:51,480 --> 00:45:53,480
Speaker 3: So okay. I was like, well that was like finished

1012
00:45:53,520 --> 00:45:54,160
Speaker 3: that analogy.

1013
00:45:54,239 --> 00:45:57,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, something something, Okay.

1014
00:45:57,239 --> 00:46:00,439
Speaker 3: I have a question though, for really danced around. Yeah,

1015
00:46:00,520 --> 00:46:03,239
Speaker 3: Jo honest is gonna try and block a shot again

1016
00:46:03,280 --> 00:46:05,800
Speaker 3: like we saw during the regular season and blew everybody's minds, like,

1017
00:46:05,840 --> 00:46:07,160
Speaker 3: well even though that was possible.

1018
00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:09,080
Speaker 5: So that's one of the funniest clips to me. He

1019
00:46:09,080 --> 00:46:12,960
Speaker 5: blocks his shot, but the Nets get three points on that. Yeah, yeah,

1020
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:14,719
Speaker 5: Like it's at three pointer from the corner, and that's

1021
00:46:14,719 --> 00:46:16,960
Speaker 5: gonna kind of be the story, isn't it. Like you

1022
00:46:16,960 --> 00:46:19,520
Speaker 5: can stop a couple of guys. They've got three Hall

1023
00:46:19,560 --> 00:46:21,920
Speaker 5: of Famers out there. Plus we haven't even mentioned Joe

1024
00:46:21,920 --> 00:46:22,319
Speaker 5: Harris yet.

1025
00:46:22,760 --> 00:46:23,160
Speaker 4: Interesting.

1026
00:46:23,239 --> 00:46:26,080
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, he could easily hit four or five threes

1027
00:46:26,120 --> 00:46:27,920
Speaker 3: in a quarter and blow the game open. But I

1028
00:46:27,960 --> 00:46:30,520
Speaker 3: was gonna say, okay, take Katie out of the equation,

1029
00:46:30,760 --> 00:46:32,960
Speaker 3: because again, he's gonna get thirty. That's just what he

1030
00:46:32,960 --> 00:46:35,799
Speaker 3: does in every playoff series. It feels like, who would

1031
00:46:35,840 --> 00:46:38,560
Speaker 3: you prefer if you're game planning to try and slow

1032
00:46:38,600 --> 00:46:43,880
Speaker 3: the Nets, would you focus on stopping more Harden or Kyrie?

1033
00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:47,280
Speaker 3: So like, who is the you know, the the straw

1034
00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:49,719
Speaker 3: that stirs the Nets drink there? Like if you had

1035
00:46:49,760 --> 00:46:51,680
Speaker 3: to just pick one, And I asked that because you

1036
00:46:51,719 --> 00:46:54,000
Speaker 3: say Drew Holiday will be on Kyrie, and I'm not

1037
00:46:54,040 --> 00:46:56,640
Speaker 3: so sure about that. If you believe Harden is actually

1038
00:46:56,680 --> 00:46:59,040
Speaker 3: the one that you sort of want to like really

1039
00:46:59,120 --> 00:47:01,319
Speaker 3: try and gum up and slow down because he likes

1040
00:47:01,320 --> 00:47:03,120
Speaker 3: to set up guys and stuff like that. And maybe

1041
00:47:03,120 --> 00:47:05,960
Speaker 3: you put actually Drew on James Harden to try and

1042
00:47:06,200 --> 00:47:08,799
Speaker 3: and you know, prevent him from you know, popping off

1043
00:47:08,800 --> 00:47:10,360
Speaker 3: and setting up guys left and right, because Drew is

1044
00:47:10,360 --> 00:47:12,560
Speaker 3: an unbelievable defender and the best probably perimeter defender on

1045
00:47:12,640 --> 00:47:14,600
Speaker 3: the box. And then you know you're putting somebody else

1046
00:47:14,640 --> 00:47:16,360
Speaker 3: on a Kyrie. It's going to be a tough matchup,

1047
00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:18,920
Speaker 3: but you know, a middle tinner content stuff like that. Well,

1048
00:47:18,960 --> 00:47:20,800
Speaker 3: what do you think or what is your answer, I

1049
00:47:20,800 --> 00:47:21,520
Speaker 3: guess to that question.

1050
00:47:21,680 --> 00:47:24,319
Speaker 6: Yeah, Well, I think Drew probably does get some time

1051
00:47:24,360 --> 00:47:27,759
Speaker 6: on Harden as well because of his defensive prowess there.

1052
00:47:27,760 --> 00:47:30,240
Speaker 6: But I guess you probably want to stop Harden first

1053
00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:33,800
Speaker 6: because I think he's he's got a little bit more.

1054
00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:37,640
Speaker 6: I mean, we've seen Kyrie go for forty easily, but

1055
00:47:37,680 --> 00:47:39,000
Speaker 6: I guess Harden is probably.

1056
00:47:38,760 --> 00:47:41,879
Speaker 3: Outs like Kyry can go for forty, but Hardy could

1057
00:47:41,920 --> 00:47:45,120
Speaker 3: go for twenty eight, but fourteen assists, Yeah, and it's

1058
00:47:45,160 --> 00:47:46,560
Speaker 3: just going to be that's a lot more.

1059
00:47:46,800 --> 00:47:49,320
Speaker 6: He's a better I think passer of the lobs inside

1060
00:47:49,400 --> 00:47:52,759
Speaker 6: James Harden than Kyrie Iving. But we saw when James

1061
00:47:52,800 --> 00:47:55,000
Speaker 6: Harden was at his best this season before the hamstring injury,

1062
00:47:55,160 --> 00:47:57,640
Speaker 6: he forced his way into the MVP conversation because he

1063
00:47:57,719 --> 00:48:01,400
Speaker 6: was just so dominant, so more happy to play facilitita.

1064
00:48:01,480 --> 00:48:03,800
Speaker 6: But Ulsa James Todden is going to have a period

1065
00:48:03,800 --> 00:48:05,440
Speaker 6: at least where he's like, all right now I'm scoring

1066
00:48:06,040 --> 00:48:07,800
Speaker 6: doing whatever. One getting too the free throad line. So

1067
00:48:08,280 --> 00:48:12,320
Speaker 6: it's uh, it's a Sophie's choice for the boodenholes the

1068
00:48:12,360 --> 00:48:16,080
Speaker 6: mandate because you know, it's when you're playing Walkamolia, there's

1069
00:48:16,080 --> 00:48:17,840
Speaker 6: always one that pops up and the kind of capable

1070
00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:19,040
Speaker 6: day on go.

1071
00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:24,000
Speaker 4: Back to it, mooe, one of those guacamole's is gonna

1072
00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:25,080
Speaker 4: be pointing right.

1073
00:48:25,160 --> 00:48:30,120
Speaker 3: Okay, my key to the series here before we get

1074
00:48:30,160 --> 00:48:32,040
Speaker 3: to our predictions for this one, I think it is

1075
00:48:32,120 --> 00:48:35,319
Speaker 3: Chris Middleton on both sides of the ball. You know,

1076
00:48:35,440 --> 00:48:37,319
Speaker 3: he averaged twenty one and a half points per game,

1077
00:48:37,920 --> 00:48:40,000
Speaker 3: four and a half assists per game, shooting fifty percent

1078
00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:41,920
Speaker 3: from the floor forty one percent from three in that

1079
00:48:41,960 --> 00:48:44,719
Speaker 3: first round against the Heat. They're going to need him

1080
00:48:44,880 --> 00:48:48,879
Speaker 3: to maintain that production here, of course, against the nets

1081
00:48:48,960 --> 00:48:52,680
Speaker 3: and try and at least you know, if Harden is

1082
00:48:52,719 --> 00:48:54,600
Speaker 3: the guy going twenty eight, Like, come on, Middleton, give

1083
00:48:54,640 --> 00:48:57,400
Speaker 3: us twenty five, because if you go back to the

1084
00:48:57,440 --> 00:49:01,560
Speaker 3: bucks last two playoff series, law us that is twenty

1085
00:49:01,560 --> 00:49:03,680
Speaker 3: twenty seventies versus Miami, so last year in the Bubble

1086
00:49:03,760 --> 00:49:06,440
Speaker 3: and then twenty nineteen Eastern Conference Finals versus the Raptors.

1087
00:49:07,239 --> 00:49:09,279
Speaker 3: The fact of the matter is Middleton was just inconsistent

1088
00:49:09,719 --> 00:49:12,360
Speaker 3: against the Raptors. He was quite frankly horrible. Outside a

1089
00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:14,320
Speaker 3: one thirty point game which also came in a loss,

1090
00:49:14,480 --> 00:49:16,239
Speaker 3: he didn't score over fifteen points in any of the

1091
00:49:16,239 --> 00:49:18,480
Speaker 3: other games. That ain't gonna fly in this series. And

1092
00:49:18,520 --> 00:49:20,799
Speaker 3: then even against the Bubble heat he shot well in

1093
00:49:20,840 --> 00:49:23,880
Speaker 3: the opener and he had a thirty six eight to

1094
00:49:23,920 --> 00:49:26,400
Speaker 3: eight in Milwaukee's loan win. But those other games, you know,

1095
00:49:26,480 --> 00:49:29,600
Speaker 3: shot six of fifteen zero threes, only scored eighteen in

1096
00:49:29,640 --> 00:49:31,960
Speaker 3: the other game, fouled out, shot eight to twenty five

1097
00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:33,960
Speaker 3: in Game five, played a lot of minutes, you know,

1098
00:49:33,960 --> 00:49:35,880
Speaker 3: there was no Jiannis and all that had six turnovers.

1099
00:49:35,880 --> 00:49:38,640
Speaker 3: He fouled out again. You can't have this from Middleton.

1100
00:49:38,640 --> 00:49:43,600
Speaker 3: Middleton has to be offensively, especially rock solid. I think,

1101
00:49:43,880 --> 00:49:45,800
Speaker 3: I mean well, at least four times of course to

1102
00:49:46,440 --> 00:49:49,120
Speaker 3: win this series. And then again, like we just talked

1103
00:49:49,120 --> 00:49:50,880
Speaker 3: about the defense, I think he's going to get some

1104
00:49:50,880 --> 00:49:54,080
Speaker 3: minutes on Kyrie, maybe on Harden. And he's not a

1105
00:49:54,080 --> 00:49:56,680
Speaker 3: bad defender. We don't talk about Chris Middleton defensely at all.

1106
00:49:56,800 --> 00:49:59,520
Speaker 3: He gets no respect. But he's good. He is legit good.

1107
00:50:00,280 --> 00:50:02,759
Speaker 3: But can anybody actually slow those guys? He's got to

1108
00:50:02,760 --> 00:50:04,719
Speaker 3: be special. That's my key to the series, for the

1109
00:50:04,719 --> 00:50:06,680
Speaker 3: Bucks to pull this off and to win me one

1110
00:50:06,719 --> 00:50:09,279
Speaker 3: hundred dollars, because that's really what we're focusing on here.

1111
00:50:10,280 --> 00:50:13,640
Speaker 3: It's the Task Mails versus J. E. Skeets bet Uh,

1112
00:50:13,680 --> 00:50:15,560
Speaker 3: you know, at least my first crack at it of

1113
00:50:15,640 --> 00:50:17,919
Speaker 3: trying to win one hundred dollars task because Task had

1114
00:50:17,960 --> 00:50:20,440
Speaker 3: the Nets going to the finals as soon as they

1115
00:50:20,480 --> 00:50:23,200
Speaker 3: made the hardened deal and I said, no, chemistry is

1116
00:50:23,239 --> 00:50:25,960
Speaker 3: a real thing and they might lose here in a

1117
00:50:26,120 --> 00:50:26,840
Speaker 3: one of these series.

1118
00:50:26,880 --> 00:50:28,960
Speaker 5: So, Skeates, have you ever taken a picture with one

1119
00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:29,600
Speaker 5: hundred dollars?

1120
00:50:29,600 --> 00:50:29,799
Speaker 4: Now?

1121
00:50:30,080 --> 00:50:31,759
Speaker 5: I've made a split screen this year.

1122
00:50:31,760 --> 00:50:35,640
Speaker 3: I can geez, I don't have ever any money on

1123
00:50:35,680 --> 00:50:37,839
Speaker 3: me anymore? Can I just hold up my credit card

1124
00:50:37,880 --> 00:50:43,480
Speaker 3: and cover the numbers. I'll do it or something like that.

1125
00:50:43,560 --> 00:50:45,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, I took both those last night.

1126
00:50:45,800 --> 00:50:50,759
Speaker 3: So the man night on the town. Let's get to predictions.

1127
00:50:51,320 --> 00:50:55,120
Speaker 3: Tray you go first, Bucks, Nets, Who are you going task?

1128
00:50:55,200 --> 00:50:58,400
Speaker 5: You're a smart guy. Man. During Round one of the playoffs,

1129
00:50:58,440 --> 00:51:00,160
Speaker 5: you said that the big thing for the Nets is

1130
00:51:00,200 --> 00:51:02,399
Speaker 5: going to be getting to know each other, And that's

1131
00:51:02,480 --> 00:51:06,560
Speaker 5: exactly what happened. Even the Big Three was saying, Yeah,

1132
00:51:06,600 --> 00:51:08,960
Speaker 5: we're not even worried about the playoff run right now.

1133
00:51:08,960 --> 00:51:11,000
Speaker 5: We're just worried about getting back out there and playing

1134
00:51:11,040 --> 00:51:13,600
Speaker 5: basketball together. So I think you're smart for that, And

1135
00:51:13,600 --> 00:51:15,520
Speaker 5: I think you're also smart for saying in the other

1136
00:51:15,560 --> 00:51:18,120
Speaker 5: two three series in the Western Conference, what a bump

1137
00:51:18,200 --> 00:51:20,520
Speaker 5: up in difficulty that the Nuggets are gonna face playing

1138
00:51:20,520 --> 00:51:22,480
Speaker 5: against the Suns. Now, same thing is going to be

1139
00:51:22,480 --> 00:51:25,680
Speaker 5: happening for the Nets here. There wasn't much defense played

1140
00:51:25,719 --> 00:51:28,560
Speaker 5: by the Boston Celtics in their Round one series. They

1141
00:51:28,560 --> 00:51:30,879
Speaker 5: were content to just try and outscore them, and that's

1142
00:51:31,160 --> 00:51:32,719
Speaker 5: what they're gonna try and do against the Bucks. But

1143
00:51:32,760 --> 00:51:35,279
Speaker 5: the Bucks defense is so much better. That being said,

1144
00:51:35,320 --> 00:51:37,759
Speaker 5: I think the Nets have too many options. Give me

1145
00:51:37,880 --> 00:51:39,080
Speaker 5: Brooklyn in seven.

1146
00:51:39,719 --> 00:51:43,200
Speaker 3: Okay, and that's in seven, another seven game series here,

1147
00:51:43,400 --> 00:51:44,640
Speaker 3: task go next. What's your prediction.

1148
00:51:45,960 --> 00:51:49,839
Speaker 4: Yeah, I really hope that Pat Conaton can do some

1149
00:51:49,960 --> 00:51:52,759
Speaker 4: kind of job on one of those Nets cards. But

1150
00:51:53,320 --> 00:51:57,640
Speaker 4: I think Mike Budenholzer is gonna see that not working

1151
00:51:57,719 --> 00:51:59,800
Speaker 4: too well. So Kyrie and James arn are gonna be

1152
00:51:59,840 --> 00:52:01,839
Speaker 4: going off and he's gonna say, hey, Chris Middleton, come

1153
00:52:01,880 --> 00:52:04,359
Speaker 4: on over, man, we need you to play some defense here.

1154
00:52:04,880 --> 00:52:07,799
Speaker 4: And that's going to exhausted dude. I think we kind

1155
00:52:07,800 --> 00:52:10,760
Speaker 4: of undervalue how important Chris Middleton is on the offense.

1156
00:52:10,800 --> 00:52:12,880
Speaker 4: Evevent skeets. You went through it there. He is so

1157
00:52:12,880 --> 00:52:15,400
Speaker 4: so important on the offensive end. He doesn't hit that

1158
00:52:15,480 --> 00:52:17,840
Speaker 4: game winner in Game one. I don't know where that

1159
00:52:17,960 --> 00:52:22,480
Speaker 4: series goes against the Miami Heat. So I just worry

1160
00:52:22,560 --> 00:52:25,960
Speaker 4: about that Bucks defense, although it does definitely have really

1161
00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:30,359
Speaker 4: good matchups defensively, the Nets just to have too many

1162
00:52:30,440 --> 00:52:33,520
Speaker 4: fricking weapons that are cooking, and I don't know if

1163
00:52:33,520 --> 00:52:37,120
Speaker 4: that chemistry thing ever happened ever, you know, is an

1164
00:52:37,239 --> 00:52:41,640
Speaker 4: actual downfall for this Brooklyn Nets team until the finals

1165
00:52:41,719 --> 00:52:44,080
Speaker 4: maybe or not. Yeah, A lot of people saying that

1166
00:52:44,120 --> 00:52:47,359
Speaker 4: this is the NBA finals. I can start to see

1167
00:52:47,400 --> 00:52:50,880
Speaker 4: that now for sure. I'm buying that the Nets are

1168
00:52:50,960 --> 00:52:54,799
Speaker 4: definitely the stronger team though, considering what the Milwaukee Bucks

1169
00:52:54,840 --> 00:52:57,920
Speaker 4: played in that first round, and even though people, you know,

1170
00:52:58,320 --> 00:53:00,759
Speaker 4: look to those two matchups at the end of the

1171
00:53:00,800 --> 00:53:03,759
Speaker 4: season there where yeah, the Bucks came out on top

1172
00:53:03,800 --> 00:53:06,120
Speaker 4: of the Nets. James Harden wasn't playing in either one

1173
00:53:06,160 --> 00:53:08,600
Speaker 4: of those. So I think the Bucks are a little

1174
00:53:08,600 --> 00:53:10,760
Speaker 4: over hyped right now, and I think the Nets bringing

1175
00:53:10,800 --> 00:53:12,960
Speaker 4: back to Earth. I think the Nets will win in six.

1176
00:53:14,040 --> 00:53:15,880
Speaker 4: You know, I hope the Bucks prove me wrong. I

1177
00:53:16,200 --> 00:53:17,600
Speaker 4: hope we get seven, but I'll go six.

1178
00:53:17,640 --> 00:53:19,359
Speaker 3: Okay, Leally, what's your pick.

1179
00:53:19,800 --> 00:53:21,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think this is obviously going to be a

1180
00:53:21,600 --> 00:53:23,719
Speaker 6: much more difficult matchup for the Nets coming off the

1181
00:53:23,760 --> 00:53:27,960
Speaker 6: Celtics series, and Jannis has the ability to really put

1182
00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:30,719
Speaker 6: some pressure on that Nets defense, which is their weeks Well,

1183
00:53:30,719 --> 00:53:33,520
Speaker 6: that's their vulnerability here. And if Yannis can stay out

1184
00:53:33,560 --> 00:53:36,360
Speaker 6: of foul trouble in terms of offensive foul if failing,

1185
00:53:36,400 --> 00:53:38,480
Speaker 6: and he can get inside and just just score those

1186
00:53:38,480 --> 00:53:41,200
Speaker 6: easy baskets and put that three pointer away, and then

1187
00:53:41,239 --> 00:53:43,839
Speaker 6: he does get help from the other guys out there,

1188
00:53:43,880 --> 00:53:45,919
Speaker 6: like Drew Holliday, who was really good in the first

1189
00:53:45,960 --> 00:53:48,319
Speaker 6: round series. He's been brought in, of course because Eric

1190
00:53:48,320 --> 00:53:50,759
Speaker 6: Bledsoe couldn't play in the playoffs. So I think there's

1191
00:53:50,800 --> 00:53:52,680
Speaker 6: a lot there for the Bucks. But I just think

1192
00:53:52,760 --> 00:53:55,560
Speaker 6: ultimately that Nets offense is just a little too heavy

1193
00:53:56,239 --> 00:53:57,759
Speaker 6: and they pull it out. But I think we're going

1194
00:53:57,840 --> 00:53:58,600
Speaker 6: I think we're going long.

1195
00:53:58,640 --> 00:53:59,360
Speaker 3: I think we're going to.

1196
00:53:59,480 --> 00:54:01,479
Speaker 6: Six or sive. But I'll say the Nets in seven

1197
00:54:01,480 --> 00:54:04,320
Speaker 6: because I have home court. But I would also like

1198
00:54:04,360 --> 00:54:06,120
Speaker 6: to be proven wrong. I'd like to say the Bucks

1199
00:54:06,880 --> 00:54:08,719
Speaker 6: upset them here. But I just feel there's just a

1200
00:54:08,719 --> 00:54:11,680
Speaker 6: little too much fai pal from those vits for the

1201
00:54:11,880 --> 00:54:13,560
Speaker 6: Brooklyn Nets. Brooklyn in seven.

1202
00:54:14,280 --> 00:54:17,439
Speaker 3: This is where PJ. Tucker makes his money. We didn't

1203
00:54:17,480 --> 00:54:20,520
Speaker 3: bring up Tucker there. I mean he's gonna get obviously

1204
00:54:20,600 --> 00:54:23,080
Speaker 3: chances I think on his old friend Kevin Durant, and

1205
00:54:23,760 --> 00:54:25,640
Speaker 3: I mean I'm excited to see what Bud does with

1206
00:54:25,840 --> 00:54:28,080
Speaker 3: brook Lopez. I mean, I think there's less of a

1207
00:54:28,160 --> 00:54:30,520
Speaker 3: role for a guy like him probably in this series.

1208
00:54:30,840 --> 00:54:32,960
Speaker 3: Be difficult to keep him out there. He'll get his chance,

1209
00:54:33,080 --> 00:54:35,680
Speaker 3: and if Brookn hit the threes, that's big. As you

1210
00:54:35,719 --> 00:54:39,600
Speaker 3: talked about Trey with a three point shooting. Look, if

1211
00:54:39,600 --> 00:54:41,000
Speaker 3: you guys are all taking the Nets, I have to

1212
00:54:41,040 --> 00:54:42,640
Speaker 3: take the Bucks. I mean I already got one hundred

1213
00:54:42,640 --> 00:54:44,880
Speaker 3: dollar bet riding on it. I mean what would I do?

1214
00:54:44,920 --> 00:54:46,719
Speaker 3: I could sort of like do the weird hedge where

1215
00:54:46,719 --> 00:54:48,359
Speaker 3: it's like, well, you know, I am either gonna lose

1216
00:54:48,360 --> 00:54:50,839
Speaker 3: one hundred dollars or I'm gonna be the smart gag

1217
00:54:50,880 --> 00:54:53,960
Speaker 3: as I got the pick right. Screw that. It's Milwaukee Bucks, man.

1218
00:54:54,000 --> 00:54:58,200
Speaker 3: I believe in them. You know, Drew Holiday is fantastic.

1219
00:54:58,520 --> 00:55:02,000
Speaker 3: He needs to neutralize one of those guards. God, can

1220
00:55:02,080 --> 00:55:03,680
Speaker 3: you do it? That's the thing I know we always

1221
00:55:03,680 --> 00:55:06,279
Speaker 3: get into like I don't care how good your defense is.

1222
00:55:07,960 --> 00:55:10,520
Speaker 3: When the offense is that elite, can it be stopped? Well,

1223
00:55:10,560 --> 00:55:13,279
Speaker 3: let's find out. I'm gonna go Bucks, though, So what

1224
00:55:13,280 --> 00:55:14,839
Speaker 3: do I do? I guess I'll just have to go

1225
00:55:14,920 --> 00:55:17,640
Speaker 3: Bucks and six shout out to Brandon Jennings once again.

1226
00:55:18,600 --> 00:55:20,960
Speaker 3: Well we'll go with that. Hopefully we get a very

1227
00:55:21,000 --> 00:55:24,279
Speaker 3: long series and it should be a super tightly contested series.

1228
00:55:24,360 --> 00:55:26,600
Speaker 3: Let's hear from the stream team, though. Drop your predictions,

1229
00:55:27,120 --> 00:55:31,239
Speaker 3: leave them below the video Nets Bucks game one Saturday Night.

1230
00:55:31,280 --> 00:55:32,759
Speaker 3: We're horny as hell for this one.

1231
00:55:32,920 --> 00:55:39,720
Speaker 4: And could you like bet somebody else one on the nets?

1232
00:55:40,160 --> 00:55:43,600
Speaker 4: Somebody take the Bucks in this series? Oh yeah, rushes all.

1233
00:55:43,520 --> 00:55:45,960
Speaker 3: He's ready for a bet. So yeah. I could call

1234
00:55:46,040 --> 00:55:47,799
Speaker 3: him up right now and say, hey, man, you want

1235
00:55:47,800 --> 00:55:51,160
Speaker 3: to bet on the Bucks Net series? He would say yes, absolutely,

1236
00:55:51,840 --> 00:55:54,280
Speaker 3: And then I say, all right, I don't take the Nets.

1237
00:55:54,320 --> 00:55:56,839
Speaker 3: I guess see what he says. I think he would

1238
00:55:56,880 --> 00:55:59,000
Speaker 3: take the Bucks. There are a lot of people picking Milwaukee.

1239
00:55:59,040 --> 00:56:02,000
Speaker 3: I mean, no doubt, a very good team. It's just

1240
00:56:02,080 --> 00:56:04,440
Speaker 3: like you know, it is tough to like, it's just

1241
00:56:04,520 --> 00:56:07,440
Speaker 3: tough to wrap your head around. I guess you know.

1242
00:56:07,800 --> 00:56:09,680
Speaker 3: Four games sort of out gunning the Nets is what

1243
00:56:09,719 --> 00:56:11,719
Speaker 3: we're getting out here. If everybody's healthy, now, this can

1244
00:56:11,800 --> 00:56:14,000
Speaker 3: change in a hurry. Right there's a rolled ankle for

1245
00:56:14,040 --> 00:56:16,279
Speaker 3: a KD or Kyrie or something, and then it's maybe

1246
00:56:16,280 --> 00:56:18,680
Speaker 3: a little more even. But yeah, okay, I'll call up.

1247
00:56:19,040 --> 00:56:20,239
Speaker 3: I'm gonna do that. That's a good call.

1248
00:56:21,080 --> 00:56:23,440
Speaker 4: And listen. I just want to address this comment from Ziggy,

1249
00:56:23,680 --> 00:56:27,680
Speaker 4: who's always in the stream team talking about the opponents

1250
00:56:27,719 --> 00:56:31,000
Speaker 4: in the first round for both these Bucks and the Nets.

1251
00:56:31,080 --> 00:56:33,399
Speaker 4: He says heat were better than the Celtics at least,

1252
00:56:33,440 --> 00:56:36,880
Speaker 4: I don't get that take. Honestly, the Heat were horrendous.

1253
00:56:37,360 --> 00:56:38,880
Speaker 4: They didn't know what they were doing.

1254
00:56:39,040 --> 00:56:41,800
Speaker 3: Hondous because of the Bucks. Is the is the counter

1255
00:56:41,880 --> 00:56:42,160
Speaker 3: to that?

1256
00:56:42,320 --> 00:56:45,880
Speaker 5: Because their pants once Jianna started guarding Jimmy Butler, they

1257
00:56:45,880 --> 00:56:48,279
Speaker 5: pooped their pants, and they had pooping their pants for

1258
00:56:48,320 --> 00:56:49,840
Speaker 5: the whole series and didn't know what to do with it.

1259
00:56:52,000 --> 00:56:54,120
Speaker 5: They did, They blew it. They completely blew it. The

1260
00:56:54,160 --> 00:56:56,880
Speaker 5: Heat were playing better than the Celtics coming into the playoffs,

1261
00:56:56,920 --> 00:56:58,840
Speaker 5: and then the Celtics were better than the Heat in

1262
00:56:58,880 --> 00:57:01,279
Speaker 5: the playoffs basically because they got a fifty point game.

1263
00:57:01,400 --> 00:57:03,560
Speaker 5: You need to see some Chris Middleton fifty point games. Yeah,

1264
00:57:03,600 --> 00:57:05,080
Speaker 5: he needs to be the Jason Tatum for them in

1265
00:57:05,120 --> 00:57:05,600
Speaker 5: this series.

1266
00:57:05,920 --> 00:57:07,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't. I don't. I don't find I don't

1267
00:57:07,719 --> 00:57:09,759
Speaker 4: think it's just the Bucks that made the Heat look

1268
00:57:09,800 --> 00:57:11,520
Speaker 4: bad that he just looked bad on their own. Jimmy

1269
00:57:11,520 --> 00:57:15,560
Speaker 4: Butler just wasn't hitting shots. I mean like he was driving,

1270
00:57:15,680 --> 00:57:17,360
Speaker 4: wasn't any shots. Bam had to buy it in't look Yeah,

1271
00:57:17,400 --> 00:57:19,120
Speaker 4: but he knew where he was getting his shot.

1272
00:57:19,320 --> 00:57:20,880
Speaker 3: That was Why didn't they do that the year prior?

1273
00:57:20,960 --> 00:57:22,880
Speaker 3: No one knows he never played them. They never put

1274
00:57:22,920 --> 00:57:24,960
Speaker 3: Youannis on Butler, but they did this series.

1275
00:57:25,160 --> 00:57:27,040
Speaker 4: No, he couldn't bank a shot home. I mean he

1276
00:57:27,040 --> 00:57:30,680
Speaker 4: couldn't do anything. He couldn't. He literally just stopped being

1277
00:57:30,720 --> 00:57:32,200
Speaker 4: able to be Jimmy Butler. I don't think it was

1278
00:57:32,240 --> 00:57:34,200
Speaker 4: just Yannis at all. I think it was I disagree

1279
00:57:34,280 --> 00:57:35,360
Speaker 4: that he was just bad.

1280
00:57:35,440 --> 00:57:38,160
Speaker 3: All right, Well that's why they're ziggy. Keep the comments coming, though,

1281
00:57:38,200 --> 00:57:41,120
Speaker 3: we love it. Stream team. Okay, final series here for

1282
00:57:41,120 --> 00:57:43,120
Speaker 3: our for us to predict here on the on the

1283
00:57:43,200 --> 00:57:48,320
Speaker 3: Drop podcast. But too Still, Yeah, Sixers Haks the one

1284
00:57:48,360 --> 00:57:50,760
Speaker 3: to five matchup. Sixers took the season series two games

1285
00:57:50,760 --> 00:57:53,680
Speaker 3: to one, dominated the last two meetings, actually winning by

1286
00:57:53,680 --> 00:57:56,360
Speaker 3: a combined sixty six points, both of those coming at

1287
00:57:56,360 --> 00:57:59,280
Speaker 3: the Wells Fargo Center. Philly's lone lost TI the Hawks

1288
00:57:59,320 --> 00:58:01,040
Speaker 3: game in January, though, I think that was the game

1289
00:58:01,040 --> 00:58:04,040
Speaker 3: that the Sixers were missing, like eight guys, like health

1290
00:58:04,080 --> 00:58:07,600
Speaker 3: and safety protocol. I don't think Simmons played anyway. Game one, Sunday,

1291
00:58:08,040 --> 00:58:12,520
Speaker 3: Hawks Sixers on ABC. Yeah, that's right, one pm Eastern.

1292
00:58:12,800 --> 00:58:14,960
Speaker 3: Keys to the series. I'll just start because it's the

1293
00:58:15,080 --> 00:58:18,480
Speaker 3: number one key to the series. Joell Ebiad's health. How

1294
00:58:18,520 --> 00:58:21,120
Speaker 3: healthy is he is he playing, because you know, if

1295
00:58:21,120 --> 00:58:24,720
Speaker 3: he doesn't, completely changes the complexion of this matchup the Sixers.

1296
00:58:24,720 --> 00:58:27,920
Speaker 3: I saw Schumann with this stat thirty and six when

1297
00:58:27,960 --> 00:58:31,000
Speaker 3: their full starting lineup were playing, and one of those

1298
00:58:31,040 --> 00:58:33,600
Speaker 3: losses was Game four against Washington when Embiid didn't play

1299
00:58:33,600 --> 00:58:35,800
Speaker 3: after the first quarter. So you know, let's call it

1300
00:58:35,840 --> 00:58:37,640
Speaker 3: maybe thirty one and five if he continues to play,

1301
00:58:37,640 --> 00:58:40,000
Speaker 3: and they probably win that game. So this is just like,

1302
00:58:40,080 --> 00:58:43,080
Speaker 3: it's huge. I don't think the Sixers will win this

1303
00:58:43,120 --> 00:58:45,560
Speaker 3: series without Joel Embii. Yeah, because I believe in the

1304
00:58:45,560 --> 00:58:47,680
Speaker 3: Hawks at least that much, and I think they're that good.

1305
00:58:47,800 --> 00:58:50,320
Speaker 3: They're playing with house money at this point, they're loose.

1306
00:58:50,480 --> 00:58:52,680
Speaker 3: No one's picking really of them to win again like

1307
00:58:52,720 --> 00:58:55,280
Speaker 3: most people weren't against the next So I just think

1308
00:58:55,280 --> 00:58:57,640
Speaker 3: Embiid puts so much pressure on a Capella and a

1309
00:58:57,680 --> 00:58:59,360
Speaker 3: call ins he gets him in foul trouble. He lives

1310
00:58:59,400 --> 00:59:02,240
Speaker 3: at the line easy points. But if he doesn't play

1311
00:59:02,680 --> 00:59:04,880
Speaker 3: because of the knee, then man, then it's more of

1312
00:59:04,920 --> 00:59:07,120
Speaker 3: a coin flip to me. So that's the that's the key,

1313
00:59:07,520 --> 00:59:09,120
Speaker 3: And I don't think we really know the answer to

1314
00:59:09,160 --> 00:59:11,800
Speaker 3: that right right now as of recording this on Friday.

1315
00:59:12,200 --> 00:59:15,440
Speaker 3: I think they're hoping he'll play right task, but who

1316
00:59:15,520 --> 00:59:19,080
Speaker 3: knows a giant dude that could play like we just

1317
00:59:19,120 --> 00:59:22,160
Speaker 3: saw with the Anthony Davis lands awkwardly and then he's

1318
00:59:22,160 --> 00:59:25,360
Speaker 3: out for the season series again. So that's massive to me.

1319
00:59:25,440 --> 00:59:28,080
Speaker 3: But I don't know, maybe you disagree that the Sixers

1320
00:59:28,960 --> 00:59:31,600
Speaker 3: couldn't They couldn't win even if Embiid didn't play. Does

1321
00:59:31,640 --> 00:59:32,560
Speaker 3: anybody disagree with that?

1322
00:59:33,120 --> 00:59:35,880
Speaker 4: Yeah? I think the Sixers could win even without him Beid, Yeah,

1323
00:59:35,920 --> 00:59:38,959
Speaker 4: I think. I mean, starting with the fact that they're

1324
00:59:39,040 --> 00:59:42,680
Speaker 4: able to guard Trey Young with Ben Simmons too, That's

1325
00:59:42,760 --> 00:59:45,400
Speaker 4: just that's got to be so so different than the

1326
00:59:45,640 --> 00:59:47,960
Speaker 4: Knick series, who are giving him a lot of space

1327
00:59:48,000 --> 00:59:52,000
Speaker 4: and Taj Gibson was dropping back, and I think, I mean,

1328
00:59:52,000 --> 00:59:53,760
Speaker 4: that would be a lot on Joel Embid if he

1329
00:59:53,800 --> 00:59:56,080
Speaker 4: comes out and plays and they get him involved in

1330
00:59:56,120 --> 00:59:59,160
Speaker 4: the pick and roll, I think, you know, it's just

1331
00:59:59,160 --> 01:00:01,760
Speaker 4: going to be up to Ben's Simmons really to get

1332
01:00:01,800 --> 01:00:04,520
Speaker 4: out there and scramble back so Joel Embiid can can

1333
01:00:04,560 --> 01:00:07,920
Speaker 4: fall back himself and stop Clint Capella, you know, Dwight

1334
01:00:07,920 --> 01:00:10,680
Speaker 4: Howard might be just healthier and better suited to do

1335
01:00:10,720 --> 01:00:13,920
Speaker 4: that right now. But either way, Simmons out there on

1336
01:00:14,000 --> 01:00:18,160
Speaker 4: Trey Young. He's going to take this extremely personally. He

1337
01:00:18,280 --> 01:00:21,080
Speaker 4: keeps on calling himself defensive player of the Year. He's

1338
01:00:21,120 --> 01:00:22,840
Speaker 4: going to do a really good job on Trey Young,

1339
01:00:23,040 --> 01:00:25,040
Speaker 4: and it's going to be up, I think, to the

1340
01:00:25,120 --> 01:00:27,560
Speaker 4: other Hawks to make up for what Trey Young isn't

1341
01:00:27,600 --> 01:00:30,200
Speaker 4: able to do in terms of setting guys up. A big,

1342
01:00:30,240 --> 01:00:33,040
Speaker 4: big pressure on bog Down Bogdanovic. But I think, yeah,

1343
01:00:32,840 --> 01:00:36,520
Speaker 4: the Simmons defense just takes away Clint Cappella to a

1344
01:00:36,560 --> 01:00:38,920
Speaker 4: degree because the center, whoever it is, if it's Dwight

1345
01:00:38,960 --> 01:00:41,160
Speaker 4: or Joel Embiid, can drop back. But Simmons is not

1346
01:00:41,160 --> 01:00:44,160
Speaker 4: going to allow that space that the Knicks. You just

1347
01:00:44,240 --> 01:00:48,240
Speaker 4: saw Trey Young, he definitely perused into the lane a

1348
01:00:48,240 --> 01:00:50,920
Speaker 4: little too much, just too much, and they dropped and

1349
01:00:50,920 --> 01:00:53,280
Speaker 4: they put todsh Gibson in there, and he was a

1350
01:00:53,320 --> 01:00:56,840
Speaker 4: he was a fallback guy. And Embeid, you know, I

1351
01:00:56,960 --> 01:01:00,240
Speaker 4: worry almost that if he does play, it's just so

1352
01:01:00,440 --> 01:01:03,720
Speaker 4: much to ask. He'll probably play like todsh Gibson did.

1353
01:01:03,720 --> 01:01:06,400
Speaker 4: But Bed Simmons will be out there it'll be a

1354
01:01:06,400 --> 01:01:09,280
Speaker 4: lot different than Reggie Bullock. So that's uh, that's interesting.

1355
01:01:09,360 --> 01:01:12,160
Speaker 4: Treyon could could pick him apart as well if if

1356
01:01:12,200 --> 01:01:14,480
Speaker 4: they decide to, you know, fall back in that coverage.

1357
01:01:15,000 --> 01:01:17,560
Speaker 4: But it's it's hard not to really believe in Ben

1358
01:01:17,640 --> 01:01:21,400
Speaker 4: who doesn't have a lot of offensive responsibility. I guess

1359
01:01:21,400 --> 01:01:23,200
Speaker 4: it goes up if Joel Embiid is out though, So

1360
01:01:23,240 --> 01:01:26,080
Speaker 4: that's yeah, that's a huge, huge question mark whether in

1361
01:01:26,120 --> 01:01:27,920
Speaker 4: bed plays I think he tries to fight through it.

1362
01:01:28,320 --> 01:01:30,920
Speaker 4: I think there's this was his season, he was an

1363
01:01:30,960 --> 01:01:34,480
Speaker 4: MVP candidate. I think we'll see him out there, you know,

1364
01:01:34,840 --> 01:01:38,680
Speaker 4: when this thing gets going. But how long it's it's

1365
01:01:38,720 --> 01:01:40,760
Speaker 4: it's totally fair. Who the heck knows that.

1366
01:01:41,040 --> 01:01:42,240
Speaker 3: Trey what's your key to the series?

1367
01:01:42,640 --> 01:01:46,120
Speaker 5: Well, Skates, you're right. Embiid's health is the number one

1368
01:01:46,200 --> 01:01:48,560
Speaker 5: key to this series. If he's one hundred percent, the

1369
01:01:48,600 --> 01:01:51,200
Speaker 5: Sixers win this series pretty easily, I think. But it

1370
01:01:51,280 --> 01:01:53,120
Speaker 5: does not look like he's going to be one hundred percent.

1371
01:01:53,120 --> 01:01:54,720
Speaker 5: We have no idea what's going to happen. We have

1372
01:01:54,760 --> 01:01:56,720
Speaker 5: no idea if he's even gonna play it. People in

1373
01:01:56,760 --> 01:01:59,840
Speaker 5: the stream team are suggesting perhaps the Sixers keep him

1374
01:01:59,880 --> 01:02:02,600
Speaker 5: up until they lose a game that could certainly happen,

1375
01:02:02,640 --> 01:02:04,600
Speaker 5: give him a little bit more rest, but it's a

1376
01:02:04,680 --> 01:02:08,120
Speaker 5: huge unknown. That's why Tobias Harris is Movernie key to

1377
01:02:08,160 --> 01:02:10,000
Speaker 5: me in this series because he might have to be

1378
01:02:10,040 --> 01:02:12,160
Speaker 5: the seventy six ers leading scorer. We don't know what

1379
01:02:12,200 --> 01:02:15,920
Speaker 5: we're getting from Embiid Simmons is unreliable as a scorer,

1380
01:02:16,000 --> 01:02:18,720
Speaker 5: at least coming into this series. I think Tobias Harris

1381
01:02:18,760 --> 01:02:22,240
Speaker 5: has to be in an offensive hub for the Sixers.

1382
01:02:22,280 --> 01:02:24,320
Speaker 5: It's gonna be a nice matchup. I think he'll have

1383
01:02:24,400 --> 01:02:26,400
Speaker 5: DeAndre Hunter on him a little bit. I think he'll

1384
01:02:26,400 --> 01:02:28,680
Speaker 5: have John Collins on him a little bit. They did

1385
01:02:28,720 --> 01:02:31,400
Speaker 5: a great job on Julius Randall, forced them into a

1386
01:02:31,480 --> 01:02:35,240
Speaker 5: lot of ISOs, played physical and just made every possession tough.

1387
01:02:35,320 --> 01:02:37,640
Speaker 5: It felt like Randal was taking forty eight dribbles every

1388
01:02:37,640 --> 01:02:40,040
Speaker 5: single time he had the ball. Harris is certainly a

1389
01:02:40,040 --> 01:02:42,520
Speaker 5: more skilled scorer than Randall. He scores in a lot

1390
01:02:42,800 --> 01:02:45,760
Speaker 5: different ways. He actually did lead the Sixers in scoring

1391
01:02:45,800 --> 01:02:49,280
Speaker 5: in Round one twenty five a game fifty percent from

1392
01:02:49,320 --> 01:02:51,960
Speaker 5: the field, thirty eight from three to ninety from the line.

1393
01:02:52,200 --> 01:02:55,720
Speaker 5: You need that again from Toby Harry, quick smart decisions

1394
01:02:55,880 --> 01:02:58,040
Speaker 5: looking to get buckets because the Hawks are gonna score

1395
01:02:58,120 --> 01:03:00,720
Speaker 5: pretty well in this series. I think Trey Young will

1396
01:03:00,760 --> 01:03:04,480
Speaker 5: certainly have a toper series than he had against the

1397
01:03:04,560 --> 01:03:07,960
Speaker 5: Knicks with Bible and Simmons on him. But there's still

1398
01:03:08,000 --> 01:03:09,720
Speaker 5: a lot of scores on the Hawks. They've been playing

1399
01:03:09,760 --> 01:03:12,520
Speaker 5: pretty well this second half of the season. That's why

1400
01:03:12,560 --> 01:03:14,480
Speaker 5: to me, Tobias Harris got a lot of pressure on

1401
01:03:14,560 --> 01:03:17,520
Speaker 5: him this series to actually be a consistent scorer each

1402
01:03:17,520 --> 01:03:18,320
Speaker 5: and every game.

1403
01:03:18,560 --> 01:03:21,640
Speaker 3: Very similar to Chris Middleton there in the Total Bucks series.

1404
01:03:21,680 --> 01:03:24,000
Speaker 3: I always think of those two guys as similar guys.

1405
01:03:24,000 --> 01:03:26,960
Speaker 3: They're like just on that borderline of like they're all

1406
01:03:27,000 --> 01:03:29,600
Speaker 3: stars sort of guys, and some nights they look like

1407
01:03:29,640 --> 01:03:32,640
Speaker 3: almost borderline superstar guys and they have these inconsistent nights. Anyway,

1408
01:03:32,800 --> 01:03:34,640
Speaker 3: Tobias Harris is a big one in this series, especially

1409
01:03:34,640 --> 01:03:36,320
Speaker 3: if there's no embid for a first couple of games.

1410
01:03:36,360 --> 01:03:37,640
Speaker 3: Maybe Lee keyt in the series.

1411
01:03:37,680 --> 01:03:39,520
Speaker 6: Before we get to predictions, well, I think it's a

1412
01:03:39,560 --> 01:03:42,520
Speaker 6: three point shooting for both teams really, because ultimately, yes,

1413
01:03:42,560 --> 01:03:44,760
Speaker 6: Trey Young is going to face a much stiffer challenge.

1414
01:03:44,800 --> 01:03:46,680
Speaker 6: I think it's either Simmons or Thible, both of them

1415
01:03:46,680 --> 01:03:48,280
Speaker 6: are going to get him at some point. Bible is

1416
01:03:48,280 --> 01:03:51,160
Speaker 6: an incredible defender. He's got that length as well. And

1417
01:03:51,200 --> 01:03:53,240
Speaker 6: then even Tyre's Max, he might even get some minutes

1418
01:03:53,280 --> 01:03:55,520
Speaker 6: on him. He's when those guys are resting, and I

1419
01:03:55,560 --> 01:03:57,640
Speaker 6: think the six is know like, if you can slow

1420
01:03:57,720 --> 01:03:59,720
Speaker 6: Trey Young down, that can really stop their offense. Don't

1421
01:03:59,760 --> 01:04:01,800
Speaker 6: let Heim get going. But then Trey's probably going to

1422
01:04:01,840 --> 01:04:04,280
Speaker 6: prepare for and so's Nami Millen and say, bog Danovitch,

1423
01:04:04,320 --> 01:04:06,960
Speaker 6: you've got to hit those threes again. John Collins got

1424
01:04:07,000 --> 01:04:09,000
Speaker 6: it going towards the end of that series. Kevin Guerreta

1425
01:04:09,240 --> 01:04:11,480
Speaker 6: coming off the bench, he can hit them threes. And

1426
01:04:11,520 --> 01:04:14,560
Speaker 6: then you've got Gallinari man and he poor man Daniella.

1427
01:04:14,640 --> 01:04:16,920
Speaker 6: Gallinari moves like a cement mixer out there, but he

1428
01:04:17,000 --> 01:04:21,080
Speaker 6: can still hit the three pointer, and that especially down

1429
01:04:21,120 --> 01:04:22,720
Speaker 6: here in Atlanta. He was very good and he was

1430
01:04:23,240 --> 01:04:25,360
Speaker 6: getting pretty carried away down there. Two had a nice

1431
01:04:25,400 --> 01:04:27,240
Speaker 6: little step back, sort of between the legs move. He

1432
01:04:27,280 --> 01:04:29,360
Speaker 6: missed it, but once those threes are falling, he's just

1433
01:04:29,360 --> 01:04:31,320
Speaker 6: confident because he kind of and this is again where

1434
01:04:31,320 --> 01:04:34,840
Speaker 6: they will potentially if Joel Embiid is not playing, Daniella

1435
01:04:34,880 --> 01:04:36,760
Speaker 6: Gallinari almost sort of fills in as they're sort of

1436
01:04:36,760 --> 01:04:39,360
Speaker 6: big man there for a while as well when Capella's

1437
01:04:39,360 --> 01:04:42,080
Speaker 6: on the bench, and sometimes as John Collins and Danella Gallinari.

1438
01:04:42,200 --> 01:04:44,960
Speaker 6: If Joel Embiid is playing, they cannot have Gallinari out

1439
01:04:45,000 --> 01:04:47,400
Speaker 6: there defending em beat at all. He will get destroyed.

1440
01:04:47,440 --> 01:04:49,600
Speaker 6: But I think as well for the Sixers, you know,

1441
01:04:49,640 --> 01:04:51,520
Speaker 6: like Seth Curry was good in this series, Danny Green

1442
01:04:51,600 --> 01:04:53,800
Speaker 6: hit thirteen threes in the series against the Wizards. It's

1443
01:04:53,800 --> 01:04:56,720
Speaker 6: the Wizards, but Danny Green as a veteran can still

1444
01:04:56,720 --> 01:04:56,960
Speaker 6: do that.

1445
01:04:57,040 --> 01:04:58,320
Speaker 4: In the corner Raptors.

1446
01:04:58,360 --> 01:05:00,360
Speaker 6: Fans know he had one good game Agains the Warrior

1447
01:05:00,400 --> 01:05:02,520
Speaker 6: is that time, but he hit six threes in that game.

1448
01:05:02,560 --> 01:05:04,480
Speaker 6: I think it was Game three in Oakland where he

1449
01:05:04,560 --> 01:05:06,400
Speaker 6: hit those threes. And he did the same thing for

1450
01:05:06,440 --> 01:05:08,160
Speaker 6: the Lakers in the bubble there. So he might only

1451
01:05:08,160 --> 01:05:10,000
Speaker 6: have one or two good games, but it could be

1452
01:05:10,280 --> 01:05:13,800
Speaker 6: game turning events for him. So I think with Philadelphia,

1453
01:05:13,880 --> 01:05:15,800
Speaker 6: if those threes are falling, I mean Ben Simmons, as

1454
01:05:15,840 --> 01:05:17,920
Speaker 6: we know he doesn't shoot them, but certainly if he

1455
01:05:17,960 --> 01:05:21,200
Speaker 6: can penetrate and get those guys into their spots and

1456
01:05:21,200 --> 01:05:24,040
Speaker 6: they're knocking them down. That offense for Philadelphia is fantastic.

1457
01:05:24,280 --> 01:05:27,440
Speaker 6: As far as Jowel Embiid, I wonder if the Sixers

1458
01:05:27,440 --> 01:05:29,520
Speaker 6: look and see what happened with Anthony Davis last night

1459
01:05:29,560 --> 01:05:31,240
Speaker 6: and think, you know, it's not worth the risk. They

1460
01:05:31,240 --> 01:05:33,040
Speaker 6: look at maybe Kevin Duran in the finals against the

1461
01:05:33,120 --> 01:05:35,040
Speaker 6: Raptors a couple of years ago. He clearly wasn't ready

1462
01:05:35,080 --> 01:05:37,520
Speaker 6: to go and did further damage. I don't know what

1463
01:05:37,560 --> 01:05:40,440
Speaker 6: a meniscous tear, how serious that is, but it just

1464
01:05:40,520 --> 01:05:43,400
Speaker 6: sounds grotesque and sounds awful to me. So I'll be

1465
01:05:43,480 --> 01:05:46,280
Speaker 6: surprised if Embiid is certainly playing in the first game

1466
01:05:46,360 --> 01:05:48,520
Speaker 6: or two, and then depending on how the series is,

1467
01:05:48,520 --> 01:05:51,880
Speaker 6: maybe Philadelphia decides to risk it. But it's sad because

1468
01:05:51,880 --> 01:05:53,840
Speaker 6: we want to see the best players out there. That's

1469
01:05:53,880 --> 01:05:56,320
Speaker 6: the best thing for fans is to see the teams

1470
01:05:56,360 --> 01:05:58,400
Speaker 6: at full strength playing each other. And I think even

1471
01:05:58,400 --> 01:06:00,560
Speaker 6: if e Beid does play, will be able to tell.

1472
01:06:00,600 --> 01:06:01,880
Speaker 6: I think if he's on the court in the first

1473
01:06:01,920 --> 01:06:03,760
Speaker 6: five minutes whether or not that knee is bothering him,

1474
01:06:04,200 --> 01:06:06,240
Speaker 6: because we saw that with Chris Paul he wasn't at

1475
01:06:06,280 --> 01:06:08,440
Speaker 6: his best, and we saw that with Anthony Davis, he

1476
01:06:08,480 --> 01:06:11,120
Speaker 6: clearly wasn't at his best, So we might get a

1477
01:06:11,160 --> 01:06:14,080
Speaker 6: glimpse either way of just how bad that knee is.

1478
01:06:14,120 --> 01:06:16,600
Speaker 6: But yeah, I think if those threes are falling for

1479
01:06:16,640 --> 01:06:18,800
Speaker 6: the Hawks, that's the best chance of staying here with

1480
01:06:18,760 --> 01:06:21,480
Speaker 6: Philadelphi because this is a much better defensive team. Well

1481
01:06:21,520 --> 01:06:24,040
Speaker 6: I say that the Knicks actually had a great defensive.

1482
01:06:23,600 --> 01:06:26,720
Speaker 3: Rating, but but this is different because like Tams saying, like,

1483
01:06:27,160 --> 01:06:29,040
Speaker 3: by no means you're playing Trey Young, are you're gonna

1484
01:06:29,080 --> 01:06:31,360
Speaker 3: do drop coverage. That'd be silly. So you're gonna run

1485
01:06:31,440 --> 01:06:33,040
Speaker 3: him over and you're gonna get him into the paint.

1486
01:06:33,080 --> 01:06:36,160
Speaker 3: But they're so long and so fast, Tybal Yeah, and Simmons,

1487
01:06:36,200 --> 01:06:38,760
Speaker 3: they're gonna be challenging from behind on these floaters Like

1488
01:06:38,760 --> 01:06:40,880
Speaker 3: that gets in your head as an offensive player, just

1489
01:06:40,880 --> 01:06:45,400
Speaker 3: that much exactly. You'll see that. See the old Chris

1490
01:06:45,400 --> 01:06:47,400
Speaker 3: Paul stop there, and I'm sure he'll get some of them.

1491
01:06:47,440 --> 01:06:50,240
Speaker 3: But then too, Embeid, we're talking offensively, like he put

1492
01:06:50,320 --> 01:06:52,000
Speaker 3: up thirty and fifteen, I'm sure in this series if

1493
01:06:52,000 --> 01:06:54,960
Speaker 3: he's playing, but like defensively, yeah, you're going to like

1494
01:06:55,280 --> 01:06:57,560
Speaker 3: get Trey in there, and then Embiid's in there, and

1495
01:06:57,600 --> 01:06:59,120
Speaker 3: that's going to like make Trey think twice out there

1496
01:06:59,160 --> 01:07:01,000
Speaker 3: him and stuff like that, maybe take away those lops.

1497
01:07:01,040 --> 01:07:04,040
Speaker 3: So that's why he's huge. You But you're right, Nick's

1498
01:07:04,040 --> 01:07:05,400
Speaker 3: had a good defense, But I think it's just such

1499
01:07:05,440 --> 01:07:07,680
Speaker 3: a different defense for the Sixers. But yeah, the guys

1500
01:07:07,680 --> 01:07:09,120
Speaker 3: they have that you can put on the perimeter.

1501
01:07:09,480 --> 01:07:12,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, and statistically throughout the regular season's just different. In

1502
01:07:12,200 --> 01:07:14,720
Speaker 6: a series the Nate mc millan, the Hawks found a

1503
01:07:14,720 --> 01:07:17,200
Speaker 6: way to basically pick it apart and it didn't. It

1504
01:07:17,200 --> 01:07:19,960
Speaker 6: didn't look anywhere near as convincing in the playoffs in

1505
01:07:19,960 --> 01:07:22,280
Speaker 6: that series. So yeah, I looks have a lot of

1506
01:07:22,280 --> 01:07:25,000
Speaker 6: offensive firepower like you guys do, but those that can

1507
01:07:25,040 --> 01:07:27,160
Speaker 6: get those shots just have to fall, Like like for

1508
01:07:27,240 --> 01:07:29,240
Speaker 6: any team, once they're falling, it just spreads the floor

1509
01:07:29,280 --> 01:07:31,680
Speaker 6: and it opens it up. And you know, Bogdanovic and

1510
01:07:32,160 --> 01:07:34,400
Speaker 6: Gallinari weren't all that great in New York, but they

1511
01:07:34,400 --> 01:07:36,600
Speaker 6: were pretty good down here in Atlanta. So if they

1512
01:07:36,600 --> 01:07:38,800
Speaker 6: can even it out a little bit more, that's going

1513
01:07:38,840 --> 01:07:39,560
Speaker 6: to help the Hawks.

1514
01:07:39,680 --> 01:07:42,400
Speaker 3: All right, Well, let's talk actual predictions here at Treo.

1515
01:07:42,520 --> 01:07:46,120
Speaker 3: Back to you, who's winning this how many games. I'm

1516
01:07:46,120 --> 01:07:49,360
Speaker 3: excited to see if anybody will take the hometown Hawks

1517
01:07:49,360 --> 01:07:52,080
Speaker 3: here to continue. But TK you go.

1518
01:07:52,080 --> 01:07:58,120
Speaker 5: First, because we have no idea what's going on with Embiid.

1519
01:07:58,200 --> 01:08:01,800
Speaker 5: If somehow he comes back, and this meniscus tear is

1520
01:08:01,800 --> 01:08:03,640
Speaker 5: a little bit more like a sprain, which I don't

1521
01:08:03,680 --> 01:08:05,760
Speaker 5: think a lot of people realize a sprain is just

1522
01:08:05,800 --> 01:08:08,760
Speaker 5: a tiny miniscus tear. It really is. But if he's

1523
01:08:08,800 --> 01:08:11,040
Speaker 5: able to play, if he's able to be at ninety

1524
01:08:11,040 --> 01:08:13,360
Speaker 5: five percent, this is an easy win I think for

1525
01:08:13,440 --> 01:08:16,800
Speaker 5: the Sixers. But I'm not super confident that Embiid is

1526
01:08:16,800 --> 01:08:19,160
Speaker 5: gonna be able to play at his best for the

1527
01:08:19,320 --> 01:08:22,040
Speaker 5: entire series. But is that enough to make you want

1528
01:08:22,040 --> 01:08:24,280
Speaker 5: to pick the Hawks, I don't know. Because we've seen

1529
01:08:24,520 --> 01:08:27,160
Speaker 5: in the past the Sixers have been successful playing with

1530
01:08:27,240 --> 01:08:29,559
Speaker 5: Ben Simmons at the five. I think they can even

1531
01:08:29,560 --> 01:08:32,479
Speaker 5: do okay with Dwight Howard getting twenty five minutes at

1532
01:08:32,479 --> 01:08:35,320
Speaker 5: the five just smashing his body into Clint Cappella in

1533
01:08:35,360 --> 01:08:36,560
Speaker 5: a revenge.

1534
01:08:36,120 --> 01:08:37,639
Speaker 3: Series for Dwight Howard.

1535
01:08:38,400 --> 01:08:40,839
Speaker 5: This is almost a double revenge series for Dwight Howard

1536
01:08:40,880 --> 01:08:44,360
Speaker 5: because he was replaced as the Houston center by Clint

1537
01:08:44,360 --> 01:08:47,080
Speaker 5: Cappella and he was waived by the Atlanta Hawks.

1538
01:08:47,360 --> 01:08:48,040
Speaker 4: Wow.

1539
01:08:48,080 --> 01:08:49,560
Speaker 3: Maybe Dwight Howard.

1540
01:08:49,280 --> 01:08:52,599
Speaker 5: Is the key to this series. I think. I think

1541
01:08:52,640 --> 01:08:54,960
Speaker 5: we'll know a lot in Game one. Like Lee is saying, here,

1542
01:08:55,000 --> 01:08:58,520
Speaker 5: with what we see from Embiid, I'm gonna go sixers

1543
01:08:58,600 --> 01:09:01,040
Speaker 5: in six it can go the other way, certainly.

1544
01:09:01,160 --> 01:09:02,880
Speaker 3: Okay, Tess, where are you going?

1545
01:09:04,040 --> 01:09:06,679
Speaker 4: Yeah? A great putter here in the stream, Team Nare

1546
01:09:06,800 --> 01:09:12,080
Speaker 4: comments Embiid should trust the healing process. And you know,

1547
01:09:12,280 --> 01:09:16,040
Speaker 4: I first say Emid's gonna play through that pain because

1548
01:09:16,080 --> 01:09:20,240
Speaker 4: it's his MVP season, MVP caliber season, and he should

1549
01:09:21,000 --> 01:09:22,639
Speaker 4: want to play out there. But then in the other

1550
01:09:22,760 --> 01:09:25,000
Speaker 4: on the other side, Yeah, he had this same meniscus

1551
01:09:25,040 --> 01:09:28,080
Speaker 4: stare in his rookie year. He ended up having to

1552
01:09:28,200 --> 01:09:32,160
Speaker 4: undergo season ending surgery. So I don't know anything about

1553
01:09:32,200 --> 01:09:36,519
Speaker 4: his physical health. I just think that the Sixers are

1554
01:09:36,600 --> 01:09:39,680
Speaker 4: rolling right now going up against the Atlanta Hawks. I

1555
01:09:39,720 --> 01:09:42,240
Speaker 4: think Seth Curry is going to have a great series

1556
01:09:42,560 --> 01:09:44,960
Speaker 4: going up against the back coourd of Trey Young and

1557
01:09:45,000 --> 01:09:48,040
Speaker 4: bogged down Bogdanovich. Seth Curry is a streaky player, just

1558
01:09:48,120 --> 01:09:51,240
Speaker 4: came off a thirty point night feeling good. To end

1559
01:09:51,240 --> 01:09:53,679
Speaker 4: that series against the Wizards, and Trey Young's not gonna

1560
01:09:53,680 --> 01:09:56,200
Speaker 4: be able to hide. I don't think during this series

1561
01:09:56,760 --> 01:09:58,559
Speaker 4: it's gonna be a it's gonna be a little different

1562
01:09:58,640 --> 01:10:02,200
Speaker 4: for him. So well win Tray's guarding Seth. I don't

1563
01:10:02,200 --> 01:10:05,080
Speaker 4: really think there's much more of another option. Really, I

1564
01:10:05,120 --> 01:10:06,599
Speaker 4: guess you throw them on Danny any.

1565
01:10:06,479 --> 01:10:08,680
Speaker 5: Green for sure. They'll be very similar I think to

1566
01:10:08,720 --> 01:10:11,080
Speaker 5: Reggie Bullock, where it's like you're fine because if he

1567
01:10:11,120 --> 01:10:13,880
Speaker 5: gets off a screen, Yeah, they might be open for

1568
01:10:13,920 --> 01:10:15,679
Speaker 5: a split second there, but you're not worried about Danny

1569
01:10:15,680 --> 01:10:17,840
Speaker 5: Green putting the ball on the floor and getting the hoop.

1570
01:10:17,880 --> 01:10:19,920
Speaker 5: Same with Reggie Bullock. That's where he's gonna hide.

1571
01:10:19,960 --> 01:10:23,479
Speaker 4: I think it's totally true. Then just get Danny Green

1572
01:10:23,520 --> 01:10:25,639
Speaker 4: off the floor. I think if you're Doc Rivers, I mean,

1573
01:10:25,680 --> 01:10:27,840
Speaker 4: just go with Ben Simmons and Tree Young in your backcourt,

1574
01:10:28,280 --> 01:10:32,080
Speaker 4: and then Ben Simmons and yeah, exactly, and Seth in

1575
01:10:32,120 --> 01:10:35,880
Speaker 4: your backcourt and then figure it out from there. I just, yeah,

1576
01:10:36,400 --> 01:10:38,280
Speaker 4: you know, I want to take the hometown Hawks, and

1577
01:10:38,320 --> 01:10:41,200
Speaker 4: I felt good doing it in Series one, but there's

1578
01:10:41,240 --> 01:10:43,920
Speaker 4: not only is Seth Curry playing well. You talked about

1579
01:10:43,920 --> 01:10:47,800
Speaker 4: Tobias Harris being a key. He's feeling good too. He's

1580
01:10:47,840 --> 01:10:50,559
Speaker 4: playing really well, so is Ben Simmons, and I think

1581
01:10:50,600 --> 01:10:54,759
Speaker 4: that's important. The confidence level of a number one seeded

1582
01:10:54,760 --> 01:10:57,760
Speaker 4: team should never be questioned. But these guys have, you know,

1583
01:10:57,840 --> 01:10:59,800
Speaker 4: never really been in this position, but they got a

1584
01:10:59,840 --> 01:11:01,920
Speaker 4: few feel good. They have to feel good right now,

1585
01:11:02,240 --> 01:11:05,400
Speaker 4: and I think they make life hell for Treon. I'll

1586
01:11:05,400 --> 01:11:06,080
Speaker 4: take them in six.

1587
01:11:06,240 --> 01:11:10,320
Speaker 6: Okay, I'm heading down to the Fortress for at least

1588
01:11:10,320 --> 01:11:15,040
Speaker 6: one of these. Yeah, of course, of course, it was

1589
01:11:15,080 --> 01:11:17,360
Speaker 6: so much fun down there last week. I want to

1590
01:11:17,439 --> 01:11:19,160
Speaker 6: cheer for the Hawks. I want the Hawks to win.

1591
01:11:19,520 --> 01:11:21,800
Speaker 6: I think they can win. I think things have to

1592
01:11:21,840 --> 01:11:24,240
Speaker 6: go right for them, you know. And I do think

1593
01:11:24,240 --> 01:11:26,280
Speaker 6: the MB factor is going to be significant in this

1594
01:11:26,320 --> 01:11:29,760
Speaker 6: series because Dwight, you know, he still gets himself in

1595
01:11:29,840 --> 01:11:32,280
Speaker 6: these silly fouls and he can get a flagrant every

1596
01:11:32,320 --> 01:11:34,000
Speaker 6: now and again. Look, he's going to put a body

1597
01:11:34,040 --> 01:11:34,800
Speaker 6: on Capella for.

1598
01:11:34,720 --> 01:11:37,080
Speaker 3: Sure, definitely picking up a flagrant, of course he is.

1599
01:11:37,120 --> 01:11:38,920
Speaker 3: He does it all the time. You know.

1600
01:11:38,960 --> 01:11:41,160
Speaker 6: He'll catch them lobs and they'll they'll throw that those

1601
01:11:41,240 --> 01:11:42,920
Speaker 6: dungkst to him, but he'll get that. He'll get himself

1602
01:11:42,920 --> 01:11:46,360
Speaker 6: into his own into a mess as always, and I

1603
01:11:46,560 --> 01:11:49,320
Speaker 6: again like, I just have faith in that those threes

1604
01:11:49,400 --> 01:11:51,320
Speaker 6: being able to fall for the Hawks here. I think

1605
01:11:51,680 --> 01:11:53,479
Speaker 6: I think they've got some really good players, and I

1606
01:11:53,479 --> 01:11:55,960
Speaker 6: think they've got some really good I thought that defense

1607
01:11:56,080 --> 01:11:58,000
Speaker 6: was way more impressive too in this series, and I

1608
01:11:58,000 --> 01:12:00,760
Speaker 6: think they understand it has to be at that same level,

1609
01:12:00,840 --> 01:12:03,960
Speaker 6: if not increased here for this series against Philadelphia. So

1610
01:12:04,560 --> 01:12:06,320
Speaker 6: I'm taking the hometown Hawks.

1611
01:12:06,320 --> 01:12:07,040
Speaker 3: Give me the Hawks.

1612
01:12:07,040 --> 01:12:09,160
Speaker 6: We're gonna close it out in six. The Fortress is

1613
01:12:09,200 --> 01:12:10,000
Speaker 6: gonna be bumping.

1614
01:12:10,160 --> 01:12:12,160
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, it sounds like you'll be there in person.

1615
01:12:12,960 --> 01:12:15,040
Speaker 6: Well, it might not even go six. Maybe the Hawks

1616
01:12:15,040 --> 01:12:16,400
Speaker 6: sweep him in four or five.

1617
01:12:17,720 --> 01:12:19,439
Speaker 3: Crazy, Okay, So you're taking Hawks and six?

1618
01:12:19,640 --> 01:12:21,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, why why not?

1619
01:12:21,479 --> 01:12:24,000
Speaker 3: That's the way to look at it. Man, I'm one

1620
01:12:24,000 --> 01:12:25,719
Speaker 3: with the other two guys. I'm going sixers and six,

1621
01:12:25,760 --> 01:12:28,680
Speaker 3: I do think and Bead's ultimately gonna play, and I

1622
01:12:28,680 --> 01:12:30,679
Speaker 3: think they just have the defensive guys to slow Tray

1623
01:12:30,720 --> 01:12:33,040
Speaker 3: Young and Doc Rivers is not an idiot. They're gonna

1624
01:12:33,040 --> 01:12:34,599
Speaker 3: go at Trey yup. They're gonna put him in action

1625
01:12:34,840 --> 01:12:36,400
Speaker 3: and he won't be able to hide as easy as

1626
01:12:36,400 --> 01:12:38,519
Speaker 3: he definitely did in the Knicks, Like the almost never

1627
01:12:38,560 --> 01:12:40,840
Speaker 3: went at him. He didn't have to do anything defensively.

1628
01:12:41,160 --> 01:12:43,000
Speaker 5: Who do you really think is gonna exploit Trey Young?

1629
01:12:43,200 --> 01:12:45,920
Speaker 3: Well, just like Seth Curry and Ben Simmons, if that's

1630
01:12:45,920 --> 01:12:47,919
Speaker 3: the back court they're going to be going to at times,

1631
01:12:48,160 --> 01:12:50,240
Speaker 3: he's going to be in action, there would be no.

1632
01:12:50,160 --> 01:12:53,120
Speaker 5: Way to hide him. I think that's probably true. But

1633
01:12:53,160 --> 01:12:55,160
Speaker 5: I mean, if Seth Curry's taking all your shots, I

1634
01:12:55,200 --> 01:12:58,280
Speaker 5: think that's a win for the Hawks. Well, yeah, he

1635
01:12:58,320 --> 01:13:00,519
Speaker 5: can hide on Bible, he can hide on Danny Green

1636
01:13:00,640 --> 01:13:02,519
Speaker 5: like we're saying, he can kind of hide a little

1637
01:13:02,520 --> 01:13:03,439
Speaker 5: bit on Ben Simmons.

1638
01:13:04,479 --> 01:13:06,120
Speaker 3: Ah, he shouldn't be able to.

1639
01:13:06,280 --> 01:13:10,360
Speaker 5: I mean, ye, send him then, like anytime he gets

1640
01:13:10,400 --> 01:13:12,000
Speaker 5: him in the post follum, send them to the line.

1641
01:13:12,080 --> 01:13:14,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, we'll see if there'll be the little chess

1642
01:13:14,000 --> 01:13:16,160
Speaker 3: mass here between Nate McMillan and Doc Rivers. I got

01:15:08,880 --> 01:15:11,519
Speaker 5: from Jeheidi White. I don't think it's that one. Maybe

1676
01:15:11,560 --> 01:15:16,040
Speaker 5: a pseudonym. Silky Underscore Johnson is the title for no reason,

1677
01:15:17,120 --> 01:15:19,960
Speaker 5: best podcast period. I love the laid back hoop talk.

1678
01:15:20,439 --> 01:15:22,559
Speaker 5: This makes you feel like you're just talking hoops with

1679
01:15:22,640 --> 01:15:25,639
Speaker 5: a group of friends. Keep up all the great work

1680
01:15:25,960 --> 01:15:28,680
Speaker 5: and hard work. Thanks for the all the effort you

1681
01:15:28,720 --> 01:15:34,480
Speaker 5: guys put in every day, especially JD Tulip Blue Skies Blossom,

1682
01:15:34,640 --> 01:15:36,320
Speaker 5: Thank you, Jahati White.

1683
01:15:36,479 --> 01:15:39,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, I like that little specific shout. You like that

1684
01:15:39,680 --> 01:15:41,320
Speaker 3: absolutely you feel loved.

1685
01:15:41,680 --> 01:15:44,080
Speaker 1: Oh I love it. Thank you Silky.

1686
01:15:45,000 --> 01:15:51,400
Speaker 6: Rachel put in that.

1687
01:15:54,920 --> 01:15:56,720
Speaker 4: I like the blossom in there too. What about a

1688
01:15:56,760 --> 01:15:57,720
Speaker 4: Blossom reunion?

1689
01:15:59,320 --> 01:16:05,680
Speaker 1: Yes it's happening. I think so. Whoa, it's been rebooted.

1690
01:16:05,720 --> 01:16:11,040
Speaker 8: It's aboo oh oh six up to haven't heard much

1691
01:16:11,040 --> 01:16:11,639
Speaker 8: about Pricks?

1692
01:16:12,520 --> 01:16:14,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, nothing at all.

1693
01:16:14,520 --> 01:16:15,719
Speaker 5: This guy is into gardening.

1694
01:16:17,840 --> 01:16:18,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, I do like that.

1695
01:16:18,680 --> 01:16:18,880
Speaker 3: Nice.

1696
01:16:18,920 --> 01:16:22,880
Speaker 5: Our next review comes to us from Big Daddy Watermelon. Okay,

1697
01:16:22,960 --> 01:16:25,840
Speaker 5: this is actually kind of funny? Is the title here?

1698
01:16:26,640 --> 01:16:30,479
Speaker 5: Always fun always funny, and very entertaining. If you're thinking

1699
01:16:31,000 --> 01:16:32,840
Speaker 5: this is tough to get into, there seems to be

1700
01:16:32,880 --> 01:16:35,559
Speaker 5: so many in jokes I don't get. Just wait it

1701
01:16:35,560 --> 01:16:37,640
Speaker 5: out and you'll have a whole new set to be

1702
01:16:37,680 --> 01:16:40,599
Speaker 5: a part of before you know it. These guys aren't

1703
01:16:40,600 --> 01:16:42,920
Speaker 5: pretentious and they actually know what they're talking about, making

1704
01:16:42,920 --> 01:16:47,679
Speaker 5: it much better automatically than ninety percent of b ball podds.

1705
01:16:47,760 --> 01:16:49,559
Speaker 5: I love the part this is.

1706
01:16:49,560 --> 01:16:50,320
Speaker 4: Tough to get into.

1707
01:16:50,680 --> 01:16:53,360
Speaker 5: There seems to be so many in jokes I don't get,

1708
01:16:53,479 --> 01:16:56,160
Speaker 5: But just wait it out. Literally, just wait a week

1709
01:16:56,160 --> 01:16:58,720
Speaker 5: and there'll be a whole fresh slated jokes for you

1710
01:16:58,800 --> 01:17:03,760
Speaker 5: to understand. Speaking of inside jokes that you may not understand,

1711
01:17:03,800 --> 01:17:08,640
Speaker 5: our next review comes to us from Selena Quill, titled Infectious.

1712
01:17:08,720 --> 01:17:12,479
Speaker 5: Here's a couple of those inside jokes, the spoon fork

1713
01:17:12,600 --> 01:17:16,080
Speaker 5: and trucks that self food in them. Confusion is catching on,

1714
01:17:16,600 --> 01:17:20,040
Speaker 5: as No Dunks promoted two other podcasts recently. I spent

1715
01:17:20,080 --> 01:17:23,880
Speaker 5: an entire shattered episode, wondering when it was gonna move

1716
01:17:23,920 --> 01:17:26,800
Speaker 5: on from the Knicks and start talking about basketball in

1717
01:17:26,800 --> 01:17:30,800
Speaker 5: the nineteen eighties, before realizing I meant to start Death

1718
01:17:30,840 --> 01:17:33,599
Speaker 5: at the wing. Five or five stars would be willing

1719
01:17:33,640 --> 01:17:37,600
Speaker 5: to take more podcast recommendations and muddle headedness thrown in

1720
01:17:37,640 --> 01:17:40,120
Speaker 5: the tagline at the end. What's better than this? Guys

1721
01:17:40,160 --> 01:17:43,439
Speaker 5: being dudes? Turn up love you guys awesome. You're getting

1722
01:17:43,600 --> 01:17:48,920
Speaker 5: four inside jokes, two podcast recommendations. That's why you gotta

1723
01:17:48,960 --> 01:17:50,040
Speaker 5: stick with no ducks.

1724
01:17:50,320 --> 01:17:54,599
Speaker 3: I've never heard the word muddle headedness now muddle had

1725
01:17:54,600 --> 01:17:56,800
Speaker 3: never seen it, never heard it. Is it a real word?

1726
01:17:56,840 --> 01:17:57,400
Speaker 3: I guess it is.

1727
01:17:58,960 --> 01:18:01,080
Speaker 5: I don't all thrown in your really, dog, I've got

1728
01:18:01,120 --> 01:18:09,040
Speaker 5: to be check your babs. Very muddleheadedness to me sounds

1729
01:18:09,080 --> 01:18:11,960
Speaker 5: like an elf when he starts calling people cotton headed,

1730
01:18:12,040 --> 01:18:15,600
Speaker 5: ninni muggins, very similar words. I don't know why, but

1731
01:18:15,720 --> 01:18:18,800
Speaker 5: that was our fourth review. Our last and final five

1732

Speaker 5: Kicks show.

01:18:28,800 --> 01:18:31,000
Speaker 3: A five star review. They don't need to be uh

1736
01:18:31,360 --> 01:18:33,840
Speaker 3: like long paragraphs. That's short and sweet to the point.

1737

1807
01:21:44,080 --> 01:21:46,240
Speaker 3: It's too high. It was tough to get up there

1808
01:21:46,280 --> 01:21:47,160
Speaker 3: when you were small.

1809
01:21:47,439 --> 01:21:49,280
Speaker 6: But at least the part of the journey was going

1810
01:21:49,360 --> 01:21:51,240
Speaker 6: up to the truck and checking it out and seeing

1811
01:21:51,240 --> 01:21:53,320
Speaker 6: all the decorations on the side. This thing needed a

1812
01:21:53,360 --> 01:21:56,400
Speaker 6: good wash for one, ah, and it just needed a.

1813
01:21:56,400 --> 01:21:57,240
Speaker 3: Little bit more color.

1814
01:21:57,280 --> 01:22:02,000
Speaker 6: It cleaner, just clean the wheels, do something, man, Yeah,

1815
01:22:02,240 --> 01:22:06,120
Speaker 6: you're such a man. I just I just like a

1816
01:22:06,160 --> 01:22:09,679
Speaker 6: little tradition with my ice cream trucks. Okay, the game.

1817
01:22:09,520 --> 01:22:12,800
Speaker 3: Has changed, man, Okay, well what are you hearing?

1818
01:22:13,040 --> 01:22:13,240
Speaker 4: Well?

1819
01:22:13,280 --> 01:22:16,080
Speaker 6: I like the caricature ice creams. You know, now in

1820
01:22:16,080 --> 01:22:20,040
Speaker 6: this particular one, you know, you've got SpongeBob or powder

1821
01:22:20,040 --> 01:22:25,000
Speaker 6: Puff Girls. You know, I prefer like a Scooby Doo

1822
01:22:25,080 --> 01:22:29,599
Speaker 6: or a Ninja Turtle something like that. So I'd be

1823
01:22:29,600 --> 01:22:33,760
Speaker 6: doing that, yeah, of course. Yeah, But now seeing in

1824
01:22:33,800 --> 01:22:37,400
Speaker 6: this particular option we have here there's none of those,

1825
01:22:37,439 --> 01:22:38,760
Speaker 6: I'd probably go with a creamsicle.

1826
01:22:38,760 --> 01:22:41,520
Speaker 3: Actually, I don't mind the cream. I love a creamsicle.

1827
01:22:41,560 --> 01:22:46,280
Speaker 3: That's yeah, no problem with that Ring City over here, because.

1828
01:22:46,080 --> 01:22:48,280
Speaker 6: I look, you know, I don't know if I want

1829
01:22:48,280 --> 01:22:49,960
Speaker 6: to be walking around with a powder Puff Girls, but

1830
01:22:50,120 --> 01:22:52,600
Speaker 6: I'm just not sure. I think at least Scooby or

1831
01:22:52,920 --> 01:22:55,600
Speaker 6: Donatello or Leonardo whoever the Ninja Turtles is is. You know,

1832
01:22:55,680 --> 01:22:58,120
Speaker 6: it's fine, but it wasn't really powder Puff.

1833
01:22:58,400 --> 01:22:59,480
Speaker 4: I believe it's Powerpuff.

1834
01:22:59,560 --> 01:23:00,519
Speaker 6: Oh power Pop is it?

1835
01:23:00,560 --> 01:23:00,880
Speaker 3: Okay?

1836
01:23:01,040 --> 01:23:04,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, there you get, so give me the creamsicle in

1837
01:23:04,240 --> 01:23:04,719
Speaker 6: this case?

1838
01:23:05,120 --> 01:23:07,479
Speaker 3: Wow, all right, Trey, what do you picking?

1839
01:23:07,560 --> 01:23:07,720
Speaker 4: Man?

1840
01:23:08,080 --> 01:23:10,559
Speaker 5: I'm going Choco Taco if they actually have them. I

1841
01:23:10,600 --> 01:23:12,519
Speaker 5: will say that it's not my favorite on here, but

1842
01:23:12,600 --> 01:23:15,120
Speaker 5: I cannot resist when I see it. It's I don't know,

1843
01:23:15,160 --> 01:23:18,800
Speaker 5: it just feels like limited addition to me, because whether

1844
01:23:18,840 --> 01:23:22,600
Speaker 5: it be a truck, a well maintained truck with a

1845
01:23:22,640 --> 01:23:26,519
Speaker 5: man dancing in it, or a disgusting grown tesque man,

1846
01:23:27,000 --> 01:23:29,680
Speaker 5: not everyone will have a Choco Taco. But if it's there,

1847
01:23:29,720 --> 01:23:31,400
Speaker 5: I got to order it just because it feels it's

1848
01:23:31,400 --> 01:23:33,120
Speaker 5: almost like a shamrock shape to me. It's like, oh

1849
01:23:33,120 --> 01:23:36,000
Speaker 5: it's here, I'm gonna get it. Generally, though, I'm going

1850
01:23:36,080 --> 01:23:38,639
Speaker 5: Chocolate Eclaire for these ones.

1851
01:23:39,080 --> 01:23:42,120
Speaker 3: Okay, Oh, I mean there's you guys know, I'm picking

1852
01:23:42,120 --> 01:23:44,479
Speaker 3: something that has a popsicle stick so I can chew

1853
01:23:44,520 --> 01:23:47,519
Speaker 3: on that after doing the treat. So there's like seven

1854
01:23:47,560 --> 01:23:50,480
Speaker 3: options here with a stick. But I'll love a creamsicle.

1855
01:23:50,520 --> 01:23:52,360
Speaker 3: I like that where you guys were leaning there, I

1856
01:23:52,360 --> 01:23:54,640
Speaker 3: know task your sort of thinking about it, and you

1857
01:23:54,760 --> 01:23:57,440
Speaker 3: two Lely, I'll just keep it simple. This is summertime.

1858
01:23:57,680 --> 01:24:00,840
Speaker 3: Give me a firecracker, getting three different flavors in one,

1859
01:24:01,439 --> 01:24:04,360
Speaker 3: and I get the stick. Yeah, it's also I remember

1860
01:24:04,360 --> 01:24:07,040
Speaker 3: them being like, well, actually a little deceiving, right, some

1861
01:24:07,080 --> 01:24:09,880
Speaker 3: of them are wider than others, where I remember it

1862
01:24:09,880 --> 01:24:11,559
Speaker 3: being a little bit longer, so it felt like more

1863
01:24:11,560 --> 01:24:13,439
Speaker 3: of a treat. But give me the classic, probably the

1864
01:24:13,520 --> 01:24:16,000
Speaker 3: cheapest in the truck too. That dirty truck that just

1865
01:24:16,040 --> 01:24:19,080
Speaker 3: pulled up threw it at me, Jade, what are you picking?

1866
01:24:19,840 --> 01:24:23,719
Speaker 8: I'm exactly on the same page as Trey. I gotta

1867
01:24:23,760 --> 01:24:28,599
Speaker 8: have that chocolate, It's funny. And then second second is

1868
01:24:28,640 --> 01:24:31,880
Speaker 8: the chocolated Claire. I like it busy. Like Tass said,

1869
01:24:31,880 --> 01:24:34,840
Speaker 8: you gotta have the crunchy with the sweet and a

1870
01:24:34,840 --> 01:24:38,000
Speaker 8: little bit of savory with the nuts there. But yeah,

1871
01:24:38,280 --> 01:24:42,080
Speaker 8: Choco taco is is underrated treat.

1872
01:24:42,760 --> 01:24:45,000
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, let's hear from everybody. Can't wait to

1873
01:24:45,000 --> 01:24:47,160
Speaker 3: see the answers. Everybody's got a strong opinion about the

1874
01:24:47,520 --> 01:24:49,920
Speaker 3: ice cream truck, especially Leela's apparently.

1875
01:24:50,200 --> 01:24:55,439
Speaker 5: Of difference there between the snowball and what was that

1876
01:24:55,479 --> 01:24:59,519
Speaker 5: other one called screwball. Snow cone and screwball look very

1877
01:24:59,560 --> 01:25:01,880
Speaker 5: similar to me, just like a slushy sort of thing.

1878
01:25:02,040 --> 01:25:03,559
Speaker 5: I don't know, I don't know. I've seen those, and

1879
01:25:03,600 --> 01:25:06,360
Speaker 5: I guess king cone and drumstick are pretty similar as well.

1880
01:25:06,600 --> 01:25:09,000
Speaker 5: I would say king cone over drumstick personally.

1881
01:25:08,720 --> 01:25:12,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, those are similar. I've never seen a screwball,

1882
01:25:12,040 --> 01:25:14,040
Speaker 3: but yeah, it's like the same thing to me, right

1883
01:25:14,240 --> 01:25:15,879
Speaker 3: just in a clear cup. People are saying.

1884
01:25:15,720 --> 01:25:19,400
Speaker 5: It comes with gum. It comes with gum. Then you

1885
01:25:19,400 --> 01:25:22,040
Speaker 5: have something from when all your friends are done, like

1886
01:25:22,080 --> 01:25:24,599
Speaker 5: you're sharing this gum. I don't know that's what. That's

1887
01:25:24,920 --> 01:25:27,240
Speaker 5: a that's crazy talk to me. You have something when

1888
01:25:27,280 --> 01:25:29,679
Speaker 5: all your friends are done with their ice cream two

1889
01:25:29,720 --> 01:25:33,000
Speaker 5: treats for one. I know you like chewing on that stick,

1890
01:25:33,080 --> 01:25:35,200
Speaker 5: but you're getting Wow, you're getting a nice deal here

1891
01:25:35,200 --> 01:25:35,959
Speaker 5: on that screwball.

1892
01:25:36,600 --> 01:25:39,120
Speaker 3: I just don't remember them having screwballs in the ice

1893
01:25:39,120 --> 01:25:41,439
Speaker 3: cream trucks in Canada. There was a couple of I

1894
01:25:41,479 --> 01:25:43,240
Speaker 3: don't think we had that, but I didn't know the

1895
01:25:43,240 --> 01:25:45,240
Speaker 3: gum option. Good to know they should do a better

1896
01:25:45,320 --> 01:25:48,120
Speaker 3: job of calling something else, like, I don't think gum

1897
01:25:48,120 --> 01:25:50,719
Speaker 3: when I think it's screwball called chewball.

1898
01:25:51,040 --> 01:25:52,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, I thought alcohol.

1899
01:25:53,640 --> 01:25:56,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, it does look like the booty drink. All right,

1900
01:25:56,840 --> 01:26:01,439
Speaker 3: so great, let's wrap this up with a little rapid fire.

1901
01:26:01,520 --> 01:26:02,240
Speaker 5: Let's try and.

1902
01:26:02,160 --> 01:26:05,240
Speaker 3: Make its multiple guys. Come on, let's do it. JD,

1903
01:26:05,400 --> 01:26:06,920
Speaker 3: you've got questions today.

1904
01:26:07,080 --> 01:26:07,759
Speaker 1: All right, guys.

1905
01:26:07,960 --> 01:26:12,080
Speaker 8: Trey Young expertly trolled the crowd at MSG Wednesday night

1906
01:26:12,120 --> 01:26:15,960
Speaker 8: with a Reggie Miller esque bow at center court after

1907
01:26:16,040 --> 01:26:19,400
Speaker 8: he mailed a thirty foot basket to cap off the series.

1908
01:26:19,800 --> 01:26:23,799
Speaker 8: Tell us about a time you slipped into full villain mode.

1909
01:26:23,960 --> 01:26:28,519
Speaker 4: Tax Well, nightly, I've been reading a comic to my

1910
01:26:28,760 --> 01:26:32,920
Speaker 4: young girl. It's called Double Trouble. It's Spider Man versus Venom.

1911
01:26:33,040 --> 01:26:35,200
Speaker 4: So every night I've got to take on the role

1912
01:26:35,240 --> 01:26:39,559
Speaker 4: of Venom, who often uses gum to catch Spider Man.

1913
01:26:40,200 --> 01:26:43,080
Speaker 4: What a jerk. I mean, recently they've been living together

1914
01:26:43,640 --> 01:26:46,519
Speaker 4: and Spider Man will make food for the both of them.

1915
01:26:46,600 --> 01:26:49,400
Speaker 4: Ven will just come in and suck every noodle back

1916
01:26:49,640 --> 01:26:53,120
Speaker 4: and not leave Spider Man with anything. What a jerk.

1917
01:26:53,200 --> 01:26:53,599
Speaker 1: Huh huh.

1918
01:26:54,200 --> 01:26:56,760
Speaker 4: Anyway, so yeah, I gotta, I gotta I pull it.

1919
01:26:57,080 --> 01:27:01,760
Speaker 4: Spider man, my geeky Spider Man voice is getting super geeky's.

1920
01:27:02,160 --> 01:27:04,960
Speaker 4: It's just kind of normal. But yeah, I've kind of been.

1921
01:27:05,439 --> 01:27:08,160
Speaker 4: I've been going really crazy with my venoms. It's almost

1922
01:27:08,160 --> 01:27:14,160
Speaker 4: Batman asks like heay, don't touch my noodles again, so.

1923
01:27:15,320 --> 01:27:16,400
Speaker 5: Very Peter Proker.

1924
01:27:17,920 --> 01:27:20,040
Speaker 4: Touch my news.

1925
01:27:20,080 --> 01:27:23,280
Speaker 6: Pretty much, anytime someone brings up something about New Zealand

1926
01:27:23,800 --> 01:27:26,960
Speaker 6: or Adelaide and Australia, I have to go into full

1927
01:27:27,040 --> 01:27:30,320
Speaker 6: villain mode and pick on those cities and those countries

1928
01:27:30,600 --> 01:27:32,280
Speaker 6: with New Zealand and just make fun of them. I

1929
01:27:32,360 --> 01:27:33,880
Speaker 6: have to do it. I can't not do it.

1930
01:27:34,080 --> 01:27:34,280
Speaker 5: Now.

1931
01:27:34,320 --> 01:27:37,000
Speaker 6: Most people know I'm only joking, but not everyone does.

1932
01:27:37,040 --> 01:27:39,120
Speaker 6: And I get a few nasty messages from people saying,

1933
01:27:39,120 --> 01:27:41,920
Speaker 6: if you man, it's way cool of the development. I'm like,

1934
01:27:42,400 --> 01:27:46,960
Speaker 6: it's not, it's not. It's just not no. And if

1935
01:27:46,960 --> 01:27:49,439
Speaker 6: anyone compliments New Zealand, I just have to say, yeah,

1936
01:27:49,439 --> 01:27:51,599
Speaker 6: but it's still New Zealand. So you know, a lot

1937
01:27:51,600 --> 01:27:52,760
Speaker 6: of my key we friends know.

1938
01:27:52,760 --> 01:27:53,240
Speaker 3: I'm just there.

1939
01:27:53,280 --> 01:27:55,160
Speaker 6: It's part of the it's part of the big brother

1940
01:27:55,240 --> 01:27:57,280
Speaker 6: little brother sort of rivalry that we have there between

1941
01:27:57,320 --> 01:27:59,880
Speaker 6: Australia and New Zealand. But I can't let an opportunity,

1942
01:28:00,360 --> 01:28:01,960
Speaker 6: so I have to do it every single time.

1943
01:28:02,680 --> 01:28:04,160
Speaker 1: Hey, you got to it skates.

1944
01:28:04,720 --> 01:28:07,000
Speaker 3: Uh Well, I've talked about my godson before. He's six

1945
01:28:07,080 --> 01:28:09,639
Speaker 3: years old. He's a pretty athletic. He's into all sports

1946
01:28:09,640 --> 01:28:12,800
Speaker 3: like most kids are. So he's playing baseball, he's playing

1947
01:28:12,800 --> 01:28:15,599
Speaker 3: football now or flight football down here in the South

1948
01:28:15,640 --> 01:28:18,400
Speaker 3: and playing a little soccer, and you know, he thinks

1949
01:28:18,400 --> 01:28:21,120
Speaker 3: he's the greatest athlete of all time. So sometimes I

1950
01:28:21,160 --> 01:28:22,760
Speaker 3: got to really put him in his place and I

1951
01:28:22,840 --> 01:28:25,720
Speaker 3: just go full villain mode, especially a soccer little match

1952
01:28:25,760 --> 01:28:27,040
Speaker 3: we had. It was not a match where he was

1953
01:28:27,040 --> 01:28:28,840
Speaker 3: playing sort of like one on one just in my

1954
01:28:28,920 --> 01:28:31,960
Speaker 3: little uh yard here, but I just decided I had

1955
01:28:32,000 --> 01:28:34,000
Speaker 3: heard enough of him saying he's like the greatest soccer

1956
01:28:34,000 --> 01:28:36,439
Speaker 3: player ever, and I just like went full Billy Madison

1957
01:28:36,680 --> 01:28:39,759
Speaker 3: just destroyed him because usually you know, you're like giving

1958
01:28:39,880 --> 01:28:42,280
Speaker 3: up a goal or two whatever if you're playing hoops,

1959
01:28:42,320 --> 01:28:44,400
Speaker 3: and I was like, nah, I'm just going to crush

1960
01:28:44,439 --> 01:28:46,200
Speaker 3: it off your face. I like popped him in the

1961
01:28:46,200 --> 01:28:48,360
Speaker 3: head once with a wall. There was ten nothing. We

1962
01:28:48,400 --> 01:28:50,640
Speaker 3: were playing a ten ten nothing, and you know, you

1963
01:28:50,720 --> 01:28:51,880
Speaker 3: just got to put him in your place. But that

1964
01:28:51,920 --> 01:28:53,240
Speaker 3: I have full villain mode for sure.

1965
01:28:53,439 --> 01:28:53,679
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1966
01:28:53,760 --> 01:28:56,160
Speaker 1: Nothing. I love better than to bring a kid down

1967
01:28:56,160 --> 01:29:00,599
Speaker 1: a couple. Yeah, you have to have all right.

1968
01:29:00,640 --> 01:29:04,200
Speaker 8: Next one, we got a comment from Joseph in Fort Worth,

1969
01:29:04,360 --> 01:29:08,760
Speaker 8: Texas that simply says, I, for one dig the coaches

1970
01:29:08,800 --> 01:29:12,639
Speaker 8: wearing the team pullovers. Okay, I mean, I guess they're fine.

1971
01:29:12,880 --> 01:29:14,559
Speaker 8: It kind of reminds me of when you guys were

1972
01:29:14,600 --> 01:29:19,040
Speaker 8: forced to wear the mechanic shirts back in the summer league.

1973
01:29:19,600 --> 01:29:22,000
Speaker 8: Here they are in the stream team. You're looking at

1974
01:29:22,040 --> 01:29:22,439
Speaker 8: them here.

1975
01:29:23,960 --> 01:29:27,680
Speaker 1: To be honest, I was annoyed when it happened, but the.

1976
01:29:27,680 --> 01:29:32,000
Speaker 5: Look actually kind of grew on years did start looking cool.

1977
01:29:31,840 --> 01:29:32,719
Speaker 3: For some weird reasons.

1978
01:29:32,800 --> 01:29:36,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know, I just kind of like it. Now.

1979
01:29:36,479 --> 01:29:38,439
Speaker 8: I have a couple of my closet. I may actually

1980
01:29:38,479 --> 01:29:39,839
Speaker 8: wear them around this summer.

1981
01:29:40,000 --> 01:29:40,479
Speaker 1: Why not?

1982
01:29:40,760 --> 01:29:45,920
Speaker 8: Right, So tell me what's something you kind of hated

1983
01:29:45,960 --> 01:29:48,880
Speaker 8: at the time, but looking back, that wasn't that bad?

1984
01:29:49,080 --> 01:29:49,360
Speaker 1: Tass.

1985
01:29:50,200 --> 01:29:55,000
Speaker 4: Okay, here's a stupid answer. I used to whenever I

1986
01:29:55,120 --> 01:29:57,439
Speaker 4: was you know, usually it would happen I'm at a

1987
01:29:57,479 --> 01:29:59,960
Speaker 4: red light and I'd just be leaning on my hands

1988
01:30:00,280 --> 01:30:02,679
Speaker 4: or I rub my hand across my face. I noticed

1989
01:30:02,680 --> 01:30:04,719
Speaker 4: that there was a stray hair coming out of my nose,

1990
01:30:05,360 --> 01:30:08,680
Speaker 4: so I just pull it up and it hurts. It

1991
01:30:08,720 --> 01:30:12,840
Speaker 4: definitely hurts. Yeah, definitely. A tear may come out of

1992
01:30:12,880 --> 01:30:16,519
Speaker 4: the eye, but I mean last it's pretty quick, but yeah,

1993
01:30:16,840 --> 01:30:21,880
Speaker 4: definitely hurts. Maybe a sneeze happens. Now plug, I've got

1994
01:30:21,880 --> 01:30:25,640
Speaker 4: the Mandscape nose trimmer. I get in there finish the

1995
01:30:25,760 --> 01:30:27,960
Speaker 4: job not having to pull it out. But looking back,

1996
01:30:28,240 --> 01:30:30,519
Speaker 4: it wasn't that bad. You know. It's just a real,

1997
01:30:30,800 --> 01:30:33,679
Speaker 4: real quick two seconds of real pain and I didn't

1998
01:30:33,680 --> 01:30:36,800
Speaker 4: need a device to use it to get it, so cool.

1999
01:30:36,840 --> 01:30:39,479
Speaker 3: Answer man, do you snip it like your ear wax?

2000
01:30:41,240 --> 01:30:42,120
Speaker 1: Why bother.

2001
01:30:45,080 --> 01:30:47,800
Speaker 3: Actually dumb question, I'm sorry, dumb question.

2002
01:30:49,479 --> 01:30:52,280
Speaker 1: Do you ever do the wax like a full wax broom?

2003
01:30:54,400 --> 01:30:55,240
Speaker 4: Have you? Yes?

2004
01:30:55,320 --> 01:31:02,760
Speaker 1: Of course, Scott. I love it. It fry your tears.

2005
01:31:02,439 --> 01:31:04,960
Speaker 8: Tears, Yeah, and I get usually I get Jackson or

2006
01:31:04,960 --> 01:31:07,599
Speaker 8: Lincoln to do it at both at the same time too.

2007
01:31:07,800 --> 01:31:13,120
Speaker 1: Boom plugger. Oh yeah, I.

2008
01:31:13,040 --> 01:31:15,160
Speaker 3: Should have to do that one of my payoffs, because

2009
01:31:15,160 --> 01:31:16,160
Speaker 3: I don't want to do that and.

2010
01:31:16,120 --> 01:31:16,679
Speaker 5: That will hurt.

2011
01:31:17,000 --> 01:31:20,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you and you owe too, so one for

2012
01:31:20,880 --> 01:31:22,080
Speaker 1: each nostril.

2013
01:31:21,760 --> 01:31:27,840
Speaker 3: Right wo I didn't think of that. Hold on.

2014
01:31:27,920 --> 01:31:30,840
Speaker 5: I'm curious how you get the wax in your nose, Like, are.

2015
01:31:30,680 --> 01:31:32,880
Speaker 1: You just pouring up your nose?

2016
01:31:33,040 --> 01:31:35,840
Speaker 8: Now, there's an applicator. It's uh, you buy a kit

2017
01:31:36,080 --> 01:31:38,960
Speaker 8: and it's a it's got a it's it's pretty cool actually,

2018
01:31:39,400 --> 01:31:41,240
Speaker 8: and then you it's like hot wax. It has to

2019
01:31:41,240 --> 01:31:45,559
Speaker 8: be a specific texture and temperature and you just put

2020
01:31:45,640 --> 01:31:47,639
Speaker 8: it up there and you leave it there for ninety

2021
01:31:47,680 --> 01:31:53,120
Speaker 8: seconds and then you yank it wax hot wax?

2022
01:31:53,200 --> 01:31:53,479
Speaker 4: Okay?

2023
01:31:53,520 --> 01:31:53,720
Speaker 1: Could?

2024
01:31:53,720 --> 01:31:56,439
Speaker 3: I would it be like dangerous if as a pick

2025
01:31:56,479 --> 01:31:58,320
Speaker 3: and payoff during one of these shows, I put it

2026
01:31:58,360 --> 01:32:00,439
Speaker 3: in at the start of the show and it has

2027
01:32:00,479 --> 01:32:02,519
Speaker 3: to stay there for the entire show, and then at

2028
01:32:02,560 --> 01:32:03,679
Speaker 3: the end I rip.

2029
01:32:03,520 --> 01:32:06,120
Speaker 1: It out or I would. I wouldn't advise it.

2030
01:32:06,240 --> 01:32:08,120
Speaker 8: I think that you need to sort of do it

2031
01:32:08,160 --> 01:32:10,559
Speaker 8: beforehand because it turns rock.

2032
01:32:10,400 --> 01:32:14,679
Speaker 3: Hard, so it would like skin from the side. Okay.

2033
01:32:14,800 --> 01:32:17,160
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know for sure, but I would

2034
01:32:17,160 --> 01:32:18,240
Speaker 1: suspect would.

2035
01:32:18,560 --> 01:32:21,840
Speaker 6: It's just I know from when that lady did the

2036
01:32:22,200 --> 01:32:24,120
Speaker 6: waxing of my chest on the show that it was

2037
01:32:24,160 --> 01:32:26,000
Speaker 6: sort of a piece by piece thing. You put it

2038
01:32:26,000 --> 01:32:28,320
Speaker 6: on and then rip it off pretty much say letting

2039
01:32:28,360 --> 01:32:29,280
Speaker 6: it stick around.

2040
01:32:29,439 --> 01:32:33,000
Speaker 8: So yeah, and you wait the nightmare scenario. You got

2041
01:32:33,040 --> 01:32:34,840
Speaker 8: to use the applicator because if you use like a

2042
01:32:34,920 --> 01:32:37,200
Speaker 8: cue tip or something where the stick can rip off

2043
01:32:37,240 --> 01:32:40,360
Speaker 8: and then leave all that wax in there, then you're

2044
01:32:40,400 --> 01:32:41,200
Speaker 8: not getting it out.

2045
01:32:41,360 --> 01:32:45,040
Speaker 3: So yeah, I don't like the sound of this at all. Yeah,

2046
01:32:45,240 --> 01:32:51,160
Speaker 3: and then we gotta do exactly, Yeah, we'll do We'll

2047
01:32:51,160 --> 01:32:51,599
Speaker 3: do something.

2048
01:32:52,160 --> 01:32:57,920
Speaker 6: What's your Yeah, I thought, say it's a bit anyway. Yeah,

2049
01:32:58,280 --> 01:32:59,840
Speaker 6: you guys know, I've got a lot of photos off

2050
01:33:00,240 --> 01:33:02,880
Speaker 6: and one of them I didn't like. You know, I

2051
01:33:02,920 --> 01:33:04,560
Speaker 6: sort of kept it hidden, But now talking about it,

2052
01:33:04,640 --> 01:33:06,880
Speaker 6: Claires and ice cream, I still think this is the

2053
01:33:06,880 --> 01:33:09,280
Speaker 6: best a Claire that I had. It was from I

2054

Speaker 3: What the hell was the question?

2058
01:33:18,520 --> 01:33:21,600
Speaker 6: Again, something that you didn't like at the time, but

2059
01:33:21,640 --> 01:33:23,280
Speaker 6: you don't mind it now, And that was that was

2060
01:33:23,320 --> 01:33:24,559

Speaker 6: I want to put that one out there, But then

2084
01:34:25,880 --> 01:34:27,320

2085
01:34:27,360 --> 01:34:27,800
Speaker 3: It's fun?

2086
01:34:29,240 --> 01:34:29,639
Speaker 1: All right?

2087
01:34:30,720 --> 01:34:33,240
Speaker 3: You just have a whole segment where we go, all right,

2088
01:34:33,560 --> 01:34:35,439
Speaker 3: show us an old photo show.

2089
01:34:37,880 --> 01:34:38,200
Speaker 1: All right.

2090
01:34:38,280 --> 01:34:42,519
Speaker 3: My answer to this is stairs because when I used

2091
01:34:42,520 --> 01:34:47,080
Speaker 3: to live at Bass Lofts, I lived on the third story. Uh,

2092
01:34:47,400 --> 01:34:49,960
Speaker 3: you know, no elevator. You had to walk up all

2093
01:34:50,000 --> 01:34:51,920
Speaker 3: of these stair isn't it. You know at times you're like,

2094
01:34:51,920 --> 01:34:55,880
Speaker 3: oh god, you're exhausted, groceries anything like that. You know,

2095
01:34:55,920 --> 01:34:58,960
Speaker 3: you get annoyed with it, uh, you know, honestly. Then

2096
01:34:58,960 --> 01:35:01,080
Speaker 3: I moved into the new house. We barely have any

2097
01:35:01,080 --> 01:35:03,360
Speaker 3: stairs all one level. It's like, you know, stairs to

2098
01:35:03,439 --> 01:35:06,599
Speaker 3: go down my backyard. That's it. But I miss him

2099
01:35:06,640 --> 01:35:09,679
Speaker 3: because you know, stairs like just a sneaky good workout

2100
01:35:09,720 --> 01:35:12,040
Speaker 3: every time, like going up and down those all the time.

2101
01:35:12,479 --> 01:35:15,799
Speaker 5: You've lost your dumper completely. Man, Yeah, no booty anymore.

2102
01:35:15,880 --> 01:35:16,280
Speaker 3: That's right.

2103
01:35:16,360 --> 01:35:19,439
Speaker 5: Man, I started doing some stairs. You just go up

2104
01:35:19,439 --> 01:35:21,680
Speaker 5: and down your stairs in the back one hundred times

2105
01:35:21,720 --> 01:35:22,000
Speaker 5: a day.

2106
01:35:22,080 --> 01:35:25,200
Speaker 3: Get that as five of them. So yeah, I missed

2107
01:35:25,240 --> 01:35:28,760
Speaker 3: those three stories. But yeah, only looking back, I guess

2108
01:35:28,800 --> 01:35:30,479
Speaker 3: it wasn't that bad. Yeah, I enjoy it. And I

2109
01:35:30,560 --> 01:35:33,559
Speaker 3: like to take stairs quickly too, like to run upstairs

2110
01:35:33,560 --> 01:35:35,840
Speaker 3: two at a time, sometimes three if I'm feeling uh

2111
01:35:36,160 --> 01:35:37,519
Speaker 3: you know, frisky.

2112
01:35:37,479 --> 01:35:40,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're better off with that. The stairs. Pain has

2113
01:35:40,360 --> 01:35:43,160
Speaker 1: no memory, man, pain has no matter. It's true, all right.

2114
01:35:43,240 --> 01:35:46,200
Speaker 8: Last one, Lucky the Leprechaun had a pretty bad week.

2115
01:35:46,360 --> 01:35:47,160
Speaker 8: First he got.

2116
01:35:46,960 --> 01:35:48,320
Speaker 1: Stomped on by Kyrie Irving.

2117
01:35:48,520 --> 01:35:52,599
Speaker 8: Then, to add insult to injury, he didn't even make

2118
01:35:52,720 --> 01:35:56,479
Speaker 8: Tray's Top five Leprechauns, which I think we're still waiting for.

2119
01:35:56,600 --> 01:35:59,400
Speaker 8: But still he's not on the list. Tell us a

2120
01:35:59,479 --> 01:36:03,240
Speaker 8: that a time. I'm your luck finally ran out tasks.

2121
01:36:04,360 --> 01:36:07,000
Speaker 4: Well, I was lucky to never get chicken pox as

2122
01:36:07,040 --> 01:36:10,840
Speaker 4: a kid, never had it. Then in my twenties my

2123
01:36:10,920 --> 01:36:15,599
Speaker 4: niece had it, and so I asked a doctor should

2124
01:36:15,640 --> 01:36:17,519
Speaker 4: I get the chicken pox? Should I, actually, you know,

2125
01:36:17,680 --> 01:36:19,639
Speaker 4: go rub cheeks with her and get her chicken pox?

2126
01:36:19,720 --> 01:36:23,599
Speaker 4: He said, no, you idiots, just try not to get them.

2127
01:36:23,680 --> 01:36:26,680
Speaker 4: But I saw her mother, my sister in law, get

2128
01:36:26,720 --> 01:36:28,760
Speaker 4: them at about the age of forty. She got it. Well,

2129
01:36:28,840 --> 01:36:31,000
Speaker 4: my niece got it and it was not a good experience.

2130
01:36:31,040 --> 01:36:34,080
Speaker 4: So I was saying to the doc, you know you're

2131
01:36:34,160 --> 01:36:36,360
Speaker 4: the doctor here, but I might want to get it

2132
01:36:36,400 --> 01:36:41,040
Speaker 4: now because in my thirties went to Europe. Actually I

2133
01:36:41,080 --> 01:36:44,719
Speaker 4: came back it was like twelve days later. I'd done

2134
01:36:44,760 --> 01:36:48,320
Speaker 4: ten days of insanity with my boy Chawnte, was feeling great.

2135
01:36:48,320 --> 01:36:49,800
Speaker 4: Then all of a sudden I come down with the

2136
01:36:49,840 --> 01:36:52,160
Speaker 4: chicken pox. Now, why did I mention that Europe trip.

2137
01:36:52,160 --> 01:36:55,439
Speaker 4: I'm pretty sure I contracted it somewhere on the plane somewhere.

2138
01:36:55,479 --> 01:36:58,120
Speaker 4: It takes fourteen days up to fourteen days as an

2139
01:36:58,160 --> 01:37:01,800
Speaker 4: incubation period, So I got the chicken box. Was not fun,

2140
01:37:03,040 --> 01:37:05,960
Speaker 4: but it wasn't too too bad. I'm sure a lot

2141
01:37:05,960 --> 01:37:08,040
Speaker 4: of people got it worse, but it was not not

2142
01:37:08,240 --> 01:37:12,040
Speaker 4: super duper fun. In twenty fourteen, the year.

2143
01:37:12,040 --> 01:37:13,400
Speaker 3: Was Yeah, I was gonna say, luckily it was the

2144
01:37:14,080 --> 01:37:15,120
Speaker 3: right Yeah.

2145
01:37:15,080 --> 01:37:15,360
Speaker 5: It was.

2146
01:37:15,439 --> 01:37:16,920
Speaker 4: It was kind of the off season we were doing.

2147
01:37:17,479 --> 01:37:20,800
Speaker 4: I was I was zooming in for meetings at the time,

2148
01:37:21,040 --> 01:37:26,080
Speaker 4: so my face was my ugly face was on your computers,

2149
01:37:26,200 --> 01:37:27,840
Speaker 4: but we didn't. It was like it was lucky.

2150
01:37:28,560 --> 01:37:29,880
Speaker 1: You did not look comfortable.

2151
01:37:30,120 --> 01:37:33,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was. It was like September October, luckily, so

2152
01:37:33,840 --> 01:37:36,920
Speaker 4: it wasn't peak television time for us. But yeah, those

2153
01:37:36,920 --> 01:37:39,559
Speaker 4: were the NBA TV days. Yeah, when we weren't doing

2154
01:37:39,560 --> 01:37:43,160
Speaker 4: too many previews. So yeah, I was lucky. But you know,

2155
01:37:43,520 --> 01:37:46,519
Speaker 4: it didn't work out too well, I guess. But yeah,

2156
01:37:46,520 --> 01:37:49,160
Speaker 4: but now you can go without getting chicken pox at

2157
01:37:49,160 --> 01:37:50,120
Speaker 4: all until.

2158
01:37:49,920 --> 01:37:51,280
Speaker 3: Oh really, I was going to ask you if your

2159
01:37:51,360 --> 01:37:52,560
Speaker 3: kids had them tests.

2160
01:37:53,320 --> 01:37:54,360
Speaker 4: No, no, no, no.

2161
01:37:54,200 --> 01:37:56,559
Speaker 1: No, I didn't know that vaccine for it.

2162
01:37:56,640 --> 01:37:58,960
Speaker 3: Now I think, wow for chicken pox.

2163
01:37:59,040 --> 01:38:00,559
Speaker 1: Crazy Yeah, Leally.

2164
01:38:01,520 --> 01:38:05,679
Speaker 6: So you guys know that Singapore Airport is my favorite.

2165
01:38:05,720 --> 01:38:08,479
Speaker 6: Airports is so clean, and that the reason I like

2166
01:38:08,560 --> 01:38:11,280
Speaker 6: it is because I never in my thirty nine years

2167
01:38:11,760 --> 01:38:14,840
Speaker 6: had taken a dump on an aeroplane. But I went

2168
01:38:14,880 --> 01:38:17,760
Speaker 6: to Europe to one year, and the night before I

2169
01:38:17,800 --> 01:38:20,120
Speaker 6: flew back to Atlanta, I went out for a huge

2170
01:38:20,120 --> 01:38:23,320
Speaker 6: dinner of chicken curry and probably five to ten pints

2171
01:38:23,320 --> 01:38:28,880
Speaker 6: of guinness. And the next day, before we'd even taken

2172
01:38:28,920 --> 01:38:35,080
Speaker 6: off that virgin Atlantic aircraft, I could I was looking

2173
01:38:35,080 --> 01:38:37,720
Speaker 6: at a nine hour flight across the Atlantic. I was like,

2174
01:38:37,840 --> 01:38:39,080
Speaker 6: there is jazz.

2175
01:38:38,840 --> 01:38:39,880
Speaker 1: No way in the world.

2176
01:38:41,200 --> 01:38:41,759
Speaker 4: No more.

2177
01:38:46,200 --> 01:38:48,920
Speaker 6: So the thirty nine year streak was broken, was ended

2178
01:38:49,439 --> 01:38:50,799
Speaker 6: by chicken curry and guinness.

2179
01:38:50,840 --> 01:38:56,479
Speaker 3: But you know, st start peeding this picture like you peed.

2180
01:38:56,640 --> 01:39:00,479
Speaker 6: The thing was though I got in there before the

2181
01:39:00,479 --> 01:39:02,280
Speaker 6: flight took off, not the end of the flight, so

2182
01:39:02,720 --> 01:39:05,360
Speaker 6: it was probably as clean and hygienic as possible.

2183
01:39:05,400 --> 01:39:10,679
Speaker 5: But oh good, Yeah, you just had another nine hours fly.

2184
01:39:13,680 --> 01:39:14,000
Speaker 1: All right.

2185
01:39:15,760 --> 01:39:18,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't want to follow these two guys so

2186
01:39:18,320 --> 01:39:28,200
Speaker 3: very simply. Alane, I had in an apartment. Definitely a classic. Yeah,

2187
01:39:28,240 --> 01:39:31,240
Speaker 3: I was in Toronto, like a free cable television was

2188
01:39:31,240 --> 01:39:34,280
Speaker 3: like still hooked up, it still worked, and it was like, oh,

2189
01:39:34,400 --> 01:39:36,320
Speaker 3: this is great. You know, no one wants to pay

2190
01:39:36,320 --> 01:39:38,960
Speaker 3: for television, nobody. It's awesome when you get it free.

2191
01:39:39,280 --> 01:39:41,840
Speaker 3: And uh, eventually that luck ran out just one day.

2192
01:39:41,840 --> 01:39:44,800
Speaker 3: It just stops working and you're like what why, Like

2193
01:39:44,840 --> 01:39:46,479
Speaker 3: how did they figure it out? How did they know

2194
01:39:46,600 --> 01:39:49,160
Speaker 3: to cut that wire that service? But we had it

2195
01:39:49,160 --> 01:39:50,600
Speaker 3: for a while there. I think it was when we

2196
01:39:50,600 --> 01:39:52,599
Speaker 3: were living on Major Street, if I remember correctly. So

2197
01:39:53,120 --> 01:39:55,439
Speaker 3: that's my answer. Not as exciting as Lee's taking a

2198
01:39:55,520 --> 01:39:56,560
Speaker 3: dump in an airplane.

2199
01:39:57,000 --> 01:40:00,880
Speaker 8: Never is though, And back then it was literally that

2200
01:40:01,000 --> 01:40:05,080
Speaker 8: person opens the box and literally just I guess we

2201
01:40:05,160 --> 01:40:06,759
Speaker 8: forgot to unplug that cable.

2202
01:40:07,160 --> 01:40:09,120
Speaker 3: Yeah. Now it's a click of the computer for sure,

2203
01:40:09,160 --> 01:40:12,080
Speaker 3: you're right. Yeah, yeah, a little different then, But that's

2204
01:40:12,160 --> 01:40:15,120
Speaker 3: my answer, And that's rapid fire. Was it fast? Not really?

2205
01:40:15,160 --> 01:40:16,880
Speaker 3: But it was fun, wasn't it. Guys? Thank you so

2206
01:40:16,920 --> 01:40:19,320
Speaker 3: much for joining us here for a very long edition

2207
01:40:19,320 --> 01:40:20,880
Speaker 3: of the Drop podcast. But we had a lot to

2208
01:40:20,880 --> 01:40:23,200
Speaker 3: talk about those games last night and setting up the

2209
01:40:23,320 --> 01:40:26,400
Speaker 3: second round series. We got one game on tonight. Just

2210
01:40:26,760 --> 01:40:29,800
Speaker 3: quickly around the horn, Trey. Task, Then, Lee, do the

2211
01:40:29,800 --> 01:40:31,640
Speaker 3: Mavericks close this out on Friday night? Or are we

2212
01:40:31,680 --> 01:40:33,720
Speaker 3: going to game seven baby on the weekend. What do

2213
01:40:33,720 --> 01:40:34,200
Speaker 3: you think, Trey?

2214
01:40:35,240 --> 01:40:37,479
Speaker 5: I think the Mavericks should win this game, but I'm

2215
01:40:37,479 --> 01:40:39,479
Speaker 5: picking the Clippers to win it because I would love

2216
01:40:39,560 --> 01:40:41,720
Speaker 5: to see a Hobo sweep skeatsy if I want to

2217
01:40:41,720 --> 01:40:43,680
Speaker 5: see the road team win every single game, So I

2218
01:40:43,680 --> 01:40:45,240
Speaker 5: will officially pick the Clippers.

2219
01:40:45,439 --> 01:40:45,639
Speaker 4: Task.

2220
01:40:45,680 --> 01:40:46,120
Speaker 3: What do you think?

2221
01:40:47,200 --> 01:40:50,400
Speaker 4: I think it's over, ladies and gentlemen. Just having watched

2222
01:40:50,680 --> 01:40:54,000
Speaker 4: the way the Blazers rolled from Game five to Game six,

2223
01:40:54,040 --> 01:40:56,000
Speaker 4: same with the Lakers Game five, Game six, I think

2224
01:40:56,000 --> 01:40:57,640
Speaker 4: the SAME's going to happen. I think the life is

2225
01:40:57,680 --> 01:40:58,800
Speaker 4: out of the Clippers a little bit.

2226
01:40:59,200 --> 01:41:01,599
Speaker 6: Lee, MAVs please just end it.

2227
01:41:02,960 --> 01:41:05,000
Speaker 3: I mean, at this point, with the teams we have

2228
01:41:05,080 --> 01:41:07,759
Speaker 3: in the second round already in the West, I really

2229
01:41:07,800 --> 01:41:09,960
Speaker 3: want the Mavericks to win. I want Luca in there.

2230
01:41:10,040 --> 01:41:12,760
Speaker 3: I tweeted this last night. Mitchell twenty four, Luca twenty two,

2231
01:41:12,760 --> 01:41:15,559
Speaker 3: Booker twenty four, yolkis twenty six. My god, Like, that's

2232
01:41:15,680 --> 01:41:17,439
Speaker 3: just the West, you know, because then you can get

2233
01:41:17,439 --> 01:41:19,439
Speaker 3: into Trey young what he's doing. Even Giannis is still

2234
01:41:19,439 --> 01:41:21,800
Speaker 3: fairly young, Ben Simmons and all that. But yeah, I

2235
01:41:21,800 --> 01:41:23,600
Speaker 3: think I'll be I think, like most people will be

2236
01:41:23,640 --> 01:41:26,360
Speaker 3: cheering for Luka Dantchen the MAVs to win Game six.

2237
01:41:26,400 --> 01:41:27,960
Speaker 3: But at the very least we'll have a Game seven

2238
01:41:27,960 --> 01:41:31,320
Speaker 3: on the weekend if the Clippers continue the the Hobo

2239
01:41:31,400 --> 01:41:34,000
Speaker 3: sweep possibilities here, So we'll see that game's on tonight.

2240
01:41:34,080 --> 01:41:35,880
Speaker 3: Sort of getting into like a one game a night

2241
01:41:35,920 --> 01:41:37,720
Speaker 3: thing here. We got one game on tonight, got one

2242
