1
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:09,920
Speaker 1: This is straight Fire with Jason McIntyre.

2
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:12,360
Speaker 2: What is up straight Fire?

3
00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:18,920
Speaker 3: Fam, It's me Jason McIntyre. Straight fire for Friday, May third.

4
00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:22,360
Speaker 3: It is a glorious Friday morning. The New York Next

5
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 3: carrying the flag for New York Sports. What a victory

6
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:32,600
Speaker 3: in Philadelphia, closing out the Sixers and everybody's favorite goon,

7
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:37,520
Speaker 3: Joel Embiid. Nicks win, so many heroes, all the Villanova

8
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:41,720
Speaker 3: Villanova Knicks deliver. I can't believe this. I can't wait

9
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:43,640
Speaker 3: to talk about this game. I'm so excited. But I

10
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:46,479
Speaker 3: tally the points for the Villanova Knicks. That would be

11
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 3: Josh Hart, that would be Dante DiVincenzo, and that would

12
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 3: be Jalen Brunson combined, they scored eighty points. Unbelievable stuff.

13
00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 3: The Knicks heroic on the road after losing a gut

14
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 3: punch in Game five. New York comes out on top

15
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:08,399
Speaker 3: and sends Joel Embiid home. And all I got last night,

16
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:11,320
Speaker 3: folks was oh, well, I'm glad we lost Sixers fans.

17
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 3: Of course, now Tobias Harris has gone and we can

18
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:17,040
Speaker 3: get rid of Joel Embiid. They are turning on Joel Embiid.

19
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 3: The it's starting now again. He was allegedly playing on

20
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,400
Speaker 3: one leg according to you know, depending on who you report.

21
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:24,959
Speaker 3: He had a solid game thirty nine and thirteen, did

22
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 3: have five turnovers, fouled out because Kelly Eubray is a

23
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 3: straight up buffoon, but nevertheless, a great win for the

24
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:36,760
Speaker 3: next historic stuff. This is, without question, the most likable

25
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 3: next team this century. You've got to go back to

26
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 3: the Spree well Allan Houston, Patrick Ewing teams of the

27
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 3: late nineties to match a team in New York that's

28
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 3: been this beloved basketball. Of course, nobody ever really cared

29
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 3: about the Brooklyn Nets, the New Jersey nets, remember the

30
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 3: Jason Kid Kenyan Martin teams.

31
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 2: Those guys, come on.

32
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 3: This is a Knix team that has heart and hustle

33
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 3: written all over it. And Jalen Brunson forty one and twelve,

34
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 3: I mean, guy was he was extraordinary. Josh Hart hits

35
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 3: the Big Three, he hit sixteen, fourteen to seven. He's

36
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 3: a six foot five guard and he he's dominating the

37
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 3: glass every night. I mean, and Devincenzo bounces back Big

38
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 3: Three's early, an awesome victory.

39
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 2: The Knicks advance.

40
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 3: They will face the Indiana Pacers, and I while I

41
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:26,919
Speaker 3: don't have a pick for this year, as my buddy

42
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:30,799
Speaker 3: Nico was asking, and I didn't know what to text

43
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 3: him because I'm like, I think the Knicks are better,

44
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 3: and I think you've got to go. Knicks defense is

45
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 3: gonna be superior to the Pacers offense. Knicks have them

46
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:45,240
Speaker 3: court advantage. But something concerns me about the minutes. I mean, folks,

47
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 3: Devincenzo did not come out of the game forty eight minutes,

48
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:52,119
Speaker 3: Josh Hart forty six, brunts A forty four, and these

49
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:55,239
Speaker 3: were all in close games. These are Ognaobi forty five.

50
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 3: And now you're gonna have to play at a faster

51
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 3: pace against the Pacers.

52
00:02:58,240 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 2: Now.

53
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 3: Fortunately, the Pacers are kind of scattered and all over

54
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 3: the place. They did dispatch the Bucks and Dame Lillard.

55
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 3: I think the Knicks are gonna be on my pick.

56
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 3: I don't know that I'm willing to bet it yet.

57
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 3: I do think they're going to be exhausted from this series, mentally, physically, everything,

58
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 3: and I'm a little nervous. Listen the Pacers at this point. Finally,

59
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 3: it took the Sixers six games to say in the

60
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 3: fourth quarter, you know what We're gonna run a double

61
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 3: at Jalen Brunston and get the ball out of his hands,

62
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 3: and wouldn't you know what, it worked. They Nicks took

63
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 3: an eight point lead and the Sixers storm back as

64
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 3: a double Brunson and nobody else could really make a play.

65
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 3: And then Brunson just said, oh I'm getting doubled. I'll

66
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 3: just split the double or do something crazy and do this,

67
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 3: and Brunson was just.

68
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 4: He just beat it.

69
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 3: He is just such a cerebral, smart player. And I know,

70
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 3: like the league is being taken over by Euros who are,

71
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 3: you know, kind of largely below the rim guys, not

72
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 3: incredible athletes, but just make it look easy. Yokitch Luca

73
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 3: and I think Jalen Brunson had as their game. I mean,

74
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 3: he had a three point play in the lane where

75
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 3: you're just like, how does he even get the shot off?

76
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 2: How is he making these shots?

77
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 3: And Brunson, I don't see how you can't not root

78
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 3: for him. To me, he reminds me of like he

79
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 3: is the I don't I don't want to say modern,

80
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 3: but he is like the new Steph Curry. He is

81
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 3: an undersized below the rim guard who everybody likes who

82
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:26,600
Speaker 3: is was a college superstar and a lot of people

83
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:28,719
Speaker 3: passed on him in the draft. Curry didn't fall obviously

84
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 3: that far. He still went top ten. But Brunson has

85
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 3: Steph Curry vibes, and I think it's easy to root

86
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 3: for this kid. Man. I I'm a huge fan. They

87
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 3: only got five points on their bench and Thibodeau just

88
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 3: rode the starters. Tyrese Maxey, by the way, returned to

89
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 3: Earth after the heroic forty six points. He uh seventeen

90
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 3: points on eighteen shots. It was the Buddy Heals show,

91
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 3: wouldn't you know what? Buddy Heeld who I believe had

92
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:56,359
Speaker 3: two points in the entire excuse me series, He didn't

93
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 3: even play in Game five, and then he comes off

94
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:02,600
Speaker 3: the bench h six threes, finishes with twenty points. He's

95
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:04,719
Speaker 3: the reason they were in this game. I mean Tobias Harris,

96
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,839
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, twenty nine minutes, oh for two shooting

97
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:11,719
Speaker 3: zero points. Not a great final line for your final game,

98
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,559
Speaker 3: allegedly for Tobias Harris.

99
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,160
Speaker 2: I can't imagine that he's back. Kyle Lowry is such

100
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:17,679
Speaker 2: a fixture.

101
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 3: Early in the series, a mere thirteen minutes they went

102
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 3: with Batuman healed with a sprinkling of campaign, but it

103
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 3: doesn't matter. Sixers are done, they're out. I think we'll

104
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 3: get into the Joel and beat stuff later. I can't

105
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 3: see them trading him. That's my early lean. I think

106
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 3: Darryl Morey knows you need stars in this league to win,

107
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:38,479
Speaker 3: and when they were healthy with Embiid in the regular season,

108
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:42,039
Speaker 3: they were really frickin good. Embiid was the MVP the

109
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:46,279
Speaker 3: year prior. So my guess is they will, you know, basically,

110
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 3: just reshape the team around Embiid in MAXI and I

111
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:51,040
Speaker 3: think they make out a real big run at Paul

112
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:54,600
Speaker 3: George and I would not be shocked if they tried

113
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 3: to make a run at Kevin Durant if he's available,

114
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:01,239
Speaker 3: as everybody thinks he will be. This is a GM

115
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 3: and Darryl Morey, who likes to go after big guys,

116
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,840
Speaker 3: he's not in the market of dumping big guys, so

117
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 3: I can't see him be going anywhere. And Maxy looks

118
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 3: like he's ready to pop as a big time player.

119
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 3: By the way, filed us away for the draft in

120
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 3: next month. There's a kid at Kentucky named Rob Dillingham

121
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 3: who was just like Maxie, just like Jamal Murray, big

122
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 3: time high school player, showed flashes at Kentucky, but was

123
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 3: largely rained in my Calipari And then they get to

124
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 3: the league and then after like two or three years,

125
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 3: they're like, oh damn this.

126
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 4: Whoa who was stopping this guy?

127
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,160
Speaker 3: How did he not dominate college basketball? Oh?

128
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 2: That's right.

129
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 3: He was a Calipari guard on loaded teams and they

130
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 3: really divided the ball up. Just keep remember the name

131
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 3: Rob Dillingham Kentucky. He's gonna be in the mix to

132
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 3: go first overall. But this isn't about the Sixers or Kentucky.

133
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:53,159
Speaker 3: It's about my Knicks, Rob Gee. I have so many

134
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 3: positive things to say about the Knicks. How about this

135
00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,600
Speaker 3: stat The seventy six Ers were the first team to

136
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 3: travel by twenty plus points in the first half and

137
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 3: then lead at halftime. And that's in the last twenty

138
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 3: five postseasons. So the Knicks weather that and still want

139
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 3: the Knicks up eight with about two thirty left, waste

140
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 3: that lead and then still win. The toughness and the

141
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 3: grit and the resilience from these necks, Rob Listen, I

142
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 3: know you're an LA guy. You gotta admit with the

143
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 3: Lakers out the paper clips on their way out. I'm

144
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 3: assuming you're officially rooting for the Knicks.

145
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 5: One thousand percent, as I put on Twitter late last

146
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 5: night on Thursday. If you don't rock with the Nova Knicks,

147
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 5: then we cannot be friends. Because they are everything that

148
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 5: I want in a basketball team. They're gritty, they're tough.

149
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 5: They for lack of a but they have big balls.

150
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 5: By the way that they play, they talk trash and

151
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 5: they play for each other. I go back to that

152
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 5: athletic column or poll a couple of weeks ago where

153
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 5: the players are asked who's the one coach that you

154
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 5: would least like to play for outside of your own

155
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 5: and three time champion Tom Thibodeau led the pack. Again,

156
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 5: I would love to know if any of the people

157
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 5: respond to that poll have ever spoken to Jalen Brunson

158
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 5: and Josh Hart and Devincenzo, because those guys leave it

159
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 5: all out on the floor when they play. It doesn't

160
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 5: matter if they're up ten, they're down ten, if it's

161
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 5: the first minute of the game or the last twenty seconds,

162
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 5: those guys are going one hundred miles an hour, diving

163
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:36,440
Speaker 5: on the ground, going for loose balls, attacking the offensive glass.

164
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 5: It is so easy to root for this team, and

165
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 5: I'm glad that they moved on, and they did at

166
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 5: the expense of Joel Embiid because he and the style

167
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:50,199
Speaker 5: of play that he has is so easy to root against.

168
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 5: But again, shout out to the Knicks. The story here

169
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 5: though again Jalen Brunson. Jalen Brunson, after that miserable first

170
00:08:58,320 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 5: two games of the series, we actually gonna have two.

171
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:05,560
Speaker 5: Despite his performance over the last four games forty one

172
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 5: point eight points, ten point three assists on forty nine

173
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 5: percent shooting, he became the first player to score at

174
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 5: least thirty seven points in four consecutive playoff games since

175
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:21,440
Speaker 5: wait for it, Michael Jordan in nineteen ninety three.

176
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 2: Oh, Michael Jordan reference.

177
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 5: Wow, here's another one. You know how many players had

178
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 5: at least thirty five points and ten assists in three

179
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 5: games in a single postseason series. Jalen Brunson Oscar robertson

180
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 5: end of list, like, we are not just talking about

181
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,840
Speaker 5: a great player. We're not just talking about an All

182
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 5: Star player and all NBA player. We're talking about an

183
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 5: all time great player type performance from Jalen Brunton in

184
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 5: these posts in this postseason so far. He is everything

185
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:58,560
Speaker 5: that the New York Knicks had hoped for and more

186
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 5: when they when they cleared out the the decks to

187
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:03,679
Speaker 5: sign him. He has proven guys like me wrong who

188
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,319
Speaker 5: thought that they were making a mistake by moving heaven

189
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 5: and earth to try to get him in free agency.

190
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 5: I was like, what, it's not like you're getting prime Lebron.

191
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,680
Speaker 5: I don't understand why you're trading this guy and trading

192
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:14,319
Speaker 5: that guy. Moving back in the drafts you can get

193
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:19,440
Speaker 5: some salary cap space. Jalen Brunson is the star that

194
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 5: New York has been waiting for, and I am praying

195
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 5: that we get Nick Celtics in the Eastern Conference Finals

196
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 5: so that he can be the one to shove the

197
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,319
Speaker 5: stake through the heart of the Boston Celtics fans.

198
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:37,680
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, it's nice to have you on my side, Rob.

Speaker 1: listen live.

203
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 3: Interesting, I didn't see this anywhere else. Henry Abbott, who's

204
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 3: been a guest here on the podcast, had an interesting take.

205
00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:57,560
Speaker 4: He was.

206
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 3: He ranked the NBA team's by payroll, and I think

207
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 3: the findings are interesting. For whatever reason. The teams with

208
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 3: the highest payroll are on the struggle bus big time.

209
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 3: So number one was the Warriors. They got ousted in

210
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,560
Speaker 3: the plan. Number two is the paper clips. They're likely

211
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 3: going to be dusted here in a moment. Number three

212
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 3: Phoenix Suns out. Four is Boston, they're alive. Five is

213
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 3: the Bucks.

214
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 2: They're done.

215
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 3: Six is Denver, they're probably probably going to go to

216
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 3: the finals. Seven Miami out, eight Lakers out, nine Bulls

217
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 3: lost to the play in ten, Nicks advancing.

218
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 2: So only one, two, three we'll give.

219
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 3: Assuming the Clippers lose tonight, we'll give three out of

220
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 3: the top ten payrolls.

221
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 2: Three out of the top eleven.

222
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 3: Portland's eleven are still alive, Minnesota's twelve, and Dallas is thirteen.

223
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 3: But adding to that, Rob, if you're looking at the

224
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 3: big picture NBA, when you see this the payroll, I

225
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 3: wonder if this whole second aprin nonsense, which I'm not

226
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:01,319
Speaker 3: going to waste time trying to explain, is having value

227
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 3: because two teams last summer added big time stars.

228
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 2: Okay, Damian Lillard goes to Milwaukee.

229
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:13,680
Speaker 3: I mean Damian Lillard, Hall of Famer, Locke Portland Icon

230
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 3: playoff legend. I mean the guy Damian little superstar in

231
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:21,200
Speaker 3: the league, top ten player for sure. Last summer, goes

232
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 3: to Milwaukee. They lose in the first round. Now they

233
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 3: didn't have be honest. You can put an asterisk if

234
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:28,199
Speaker 3: you want. The other big move was Bradley Beal finally

235
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 3: leaving washing Different Phoenix, And you guys can knock Bradley

236
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:32,840
Speaker 3: Beal all you want. He had been an All NBA player,

237
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 3: He's been an All Star. He's a top twenty player

238
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 3: in the league for sure. Last summer, okay, they lose

239
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 3: in the first round. You start to wonder, rob has

240
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:48,719
Speaker 3: the super team stuff just kind of maxed out and

241
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 3: you need more balance the way say the Nuggets are balanced.

242
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:57,200
Speaker 3: Minnesota's has got the youth. But like building through the

243
00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:01,560
Speaker 3: draft seems like it's gonna become in pretty popular once again.

244
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 4: Kind of.

245
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 5: I think that that argument would hold a lot more

246
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 5: water if the prohibitive favorites coming out of the Eastern Conference.

247
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:13,440
Speaker 5: The Boston Celtics weren't built.

248
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 4: Like a super team.

249
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:18,679
Speaker 5: They have two guys Jalen Brown, Jason Tatum, who are

250
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 5: homegrown All Star All NBA players, and the other three

251
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:27,839
Speaker 5: starters around them are either All Stars or guys who

252
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:29,840
Speaker 5: are on the fringe of All Stars, and Derek White.

253
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:33,840
Speaker 5: Last I checked, they did not draft Derek White, Drew

254
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 5: Holliday and Kristavsporzingis. They traded for him. They acquired them.

255
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 5: So if you want to say the player generated super

256
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 5: team doesn't work out because when you have three max

257
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 5: level guys and you have to finagle your way to

258
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:54,079
Speaker 5: make it happen, then sure, well, but hold.

259
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:59,120
Speaker 3: On, that's a good point because the way Denver is built,

260
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 3: Kick Murray and Porter were drafted. They got Aaron Gordon,

261
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 3: who was the top five pick via trade and CACP

262
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:08,560
Speaker 3: was I guess the Lakers had given up on him

263
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:12,440
Speaker 3: like idiots. And then the other big teams Minnesota, Jada

264
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 3: McDaniel's drafted, Cat drafted and Edwards drafted, but Conley and

265
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:20,560
Speaker 3: Gobert were via trade. I don't know if Conley was

266
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 3: free agent or trade, but I guess maybe the move

267
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:25,880
Speaker 3: is to go hybrid. Does I mean it's almost impossible

268
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 3: sure to have a fully homegrown team like OKC is

269
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 3: Actually they might be.

270
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 5: Right, they're the homegrown team. Yeah, but so far they

271
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 5: haven't done anything yet correct. So I think the only

272
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 5: way that that works, and again without getting too deep

273
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 5: into the salary cap structure and all, how that stuff works,

274
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 5: is you have to really hit on somebody in the

275
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 5: draft to even have a chance for this. Ye Boston

276
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 5: hit on both Tatum and Brown. Minnesota obviously hit on

277
00:14:55,120 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 5: Anthony Edwards. So Phoenix, even if you're saying Phoenix is

278
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 5: flaming out, they hit on Devin Booker and then they

279
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 5: surround him with other guys. The Lakers, you know, I

280
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 5: had to bring back to the Laker, But the Lakers

281
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 5: are the team that's like the antithesis of that bro

282
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 5: Austin Reeves, he wasn't even drafted, but it was like, hey,

283
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 5: we cleared the decks to sign Lebron, we traded all

284
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 5: of our young talent for ad and then from there

285
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 5: you're kind of really playing catchup, like you need the

286
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 5: venom and minimum guys that you get to really be

287
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 5: home runs for your your team to play out the

288
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:35,880
Speaker 5: way to match up with these other two teams. So

289
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 5: what the Lakers had to do what was almost in

290
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 5: reverse what the Westbrook trade is consolidate that third star

291
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 5: to get three, four, five depth players and hope, since

292
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 5: you're not going to be drafting at the top of

293
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 5: the draft anymore, that somebody you get laid in Round

294
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 5: one er in this case Austin region, you get him undrafted.

295
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 5: He can be the third star type player. But it's

296
00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 5: it's a really really row needle to the thread right there.

297
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm just looking.

298
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 2: You're right, OKC is fully home grown.

299
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 3: But let's see how they do against Dallas, which you

300
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 3: know has Kyrie is kind of a hired gun if

301
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 3: you will. But and then they added Gafford and another

302
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 3: guy at the at the deadline, but.

303
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 2: They that's right, right, PJ. Washington.

304
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 3: But like, you're right, you need to be drafting guys.

305
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 3: The thing is not all I don't think a lot

306
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 3: of guys can duplicate what Lebron does. He goes to

307
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 3: your team and you're instantly a finals contender, and I

308
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 3: think anybody would take that. The thing is, does anybody

309
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 3: else can they just bounce around the league and instantly

310
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 3: make a team of finals contender.

311
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, but he's not bouncing around the league. Lebron is.

312
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 4: Bouncing.

313
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 3: I don't know the KD is doing that. Yeah, so

314
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 3: big win the Pacers thing. Listen, Pacers blow out the Bucks.

315
00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 2: Whatever.

316
00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:00,720
Speaker 3: The only interesting storyline from this is what happened with

317
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:05,159
Speaker 3: Patrick Beverly, who we know is just a colossal clown.

318
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:07,400
Speaker 4: You mean a couple of things happened with Patrick Beverley,

319
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 4: but go ahead.

320
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 3: Okay, I only saw one. With like two and a

321
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,119
Speaker 3: half minutes left in the game. For some reason, a

322
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 3: basketball ends up going to Patrick Beverly and some I

323
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 3: guess there was like a two girls and two guys,

324
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:25,960
Speaker 3: maybe like fifteen feet from Beverly on the other side

325
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 3: of the bench, closer to mid court. Beverly's at the

326
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:30,960
Speaker 3: end of the bench, and Patrick Beverley just throws a

327
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 3: basketball at this woman, hits her in the side of

328
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:33,120
Speaker 3: the head.

329
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:34,160
Speaker 2: She wasn't even looking.

330
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 3: She stunned, and the guy gets it and he's like,

331
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:37,880
Speaker 3: what are you doing?

332
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:38,720
Speaker 2: What's happened?

333
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:42,360
Speaker 3: So the guy tosses it back to Beverly, tosses, not throws, tosses.

334
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:45,480
Speaker 3: Beverly chucks it back at them. It's like, what do

335
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 3: you do? The game's still happening here, and we know

336
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 3: Patrick Beverly is a sore loser, always has been runs

337
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:55,240
Speaker 3: his mouth on social media. Pascal Siakam, he got him

338
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 3: on social media and was like, yeah, one, two, three,

339
00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 3: CanCon buddy. I tried to tell you, I don't know.

340
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:02,159
Speaker 3: I've never been a huge Pap Beverlelyue guy. I know

341
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:04,359
Speaker 3: he's one of those classic you don't want to face him,

342
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 3: but you want him on your side. I don't even

343
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:07,200
Speaker 3: know if you want him on your side. Man, he's

344
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:09,399
Speaker 3: such a clown. What was the other thing that he

345
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:11,639
Speaker 3: did besides throwing a basketball at a woman who was

346
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:12,440
Speaker 3: not expecting it.

347
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:15,240
Speaker 5: Well, the other one, depending on your perspective, might even

348
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 5: be more egregious. So in the post game, he's at

349
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:21,720
Speaker 5: his locker, you know, conducting his press conference because he's

350
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:22,960
Speaker 5: not one of the guys who gets to go to

351
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:24,439
Speaker 5: the actual podium. He has to do it from the

352
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 5: locker room. He's one of those level of players. No

353
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 5: disrespect to Pat BEV. But during the scrum, a female

354
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 5: reporter tries to ask him a question and he turns

355
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 5: and looks at her very seriously and says, do you

356
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:44,119
Speaker 5: subscribe to my podcast? And she says no. He says, well,

357
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 5: then you can't interview me because you don't scribe. To

358
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 5: my pod. Then he moves on to the next reporter.

359
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:50,920
Speaker 2: He just started to lose it.

360
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 3: Huh, classic meltdown, like you get worked. Shout out to

361
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:57,359
Speaker 3: Damian Lodar for trying to play.

362
00:18:57,600 --> 00:18:58,400
Speaker 2: He gave it as all.

363
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:04,919
Speaker 3: You know, you're obviously worried about guys. Fine, but the

364
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:08,359
Speaker 3: bucksnuver had a chance like first quarter pacers at a

365
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 3: bunch of threes, and I don't think it was that

366
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 3: they ever cut it to single digits in the second half.

367
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:14,720
Speaker 3: But shout out to Damian Loler, the guy's tough. I

368
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:19,040
Speaker 3: ended up playing thirty five minutes, twenty eight points, Like,

369
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 3: I mean, that's impressive as hell. They just they don't

370
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:23,680
Speaker 3: have enough. I don't know where the Bucks go from here.

371
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:30,359
Speaker 3: Very interesting situation for Giannis looking at this team.

372
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 2: They lose in the first round again, He's hurt again.

373
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 3: I'm not ready to get like you know, I've been

374
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 3: calling Joe Burrow Glass Joe because of all his injuries.

375
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 3: I don't know, man, this is two years in a row.

376
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:43,760
Speaker 3: Giannis is hurt in the first round. I would love

377
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:46,359
Speaker 3: if the NBA just chop ten games off the regular season.

378
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:51,359
Speaker 3: It won't happen, but I'm sorry. I need the stars

379
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 3: available in the playoffs. The playoffs are what matter. The

380
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:57,440
Speaker 3: playoffs are great. I mean, I'll be honest. The Knicks

381
00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:01,359
Speaker 3: series and the Lakers series provided what a total of

382
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 3: five absolutely thrilling games that went down to the wire

383
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:08,439
Speaker 3: that were better than any five regular season games. So

384
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 3: what am I doing having the stars out in the playoffs.

385
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:13,879
Speaker 3: I know you're anti load management, We're not gonna go

386
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 3: down this road, but I just I need my superstars

387
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 3: in the playoffs. And if you could play fewer games,

388
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 3: I think it helps. I don't have science to back

389
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 3: that up, but I mean logic would tell me fewer

390
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:29,880
Speaker 3: games equals probably in better shape come the postseason. But yeah,

391
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 3: like Pacers would be a full strength against the Knicks,

392
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:35,240
Speaker 3: who will not have Julius Randall. I looked at the

393
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 3: regular season box scores. You can't really get much from them. Yeah,

394
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 3: Pacers got them late in the season. Pacers got him

395
00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 3: earlier in the season. Nick's got him in the middle

396
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 3: of the season. I don't Yeah, they played on February first,

397
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 3: but Pascal Siakam had not gotten to Indy at that points.

398
00:20:57,680 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 3: Jayleb Bruns at average thirty nine in three games against

399
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 3: a pacer, so they're gonna have to Oh no, I'm sorry.

400
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 3: Pascal Siakam did play in the second meeting. I just

401
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 3: don't know who Jay Smith is. Who is he he

402
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 3: led them in scoring? Jalen Smith?

403
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 4: Wow, former Sons lottery pick. I think Jalen Smith.

404
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 2: There you go, top ten pick.

405
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:23,280
Speaker 3: Uh. Yeah, he's barely played this in the Milwaukee series,

406
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:25,160
Speaker 3: but he scored twenty against the Nicks in February.

407
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:28,520
Speaker 2: Go figure. So I don't know rob Eddie early lean there.

408
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:32,280
Speaker 5: Well quickly before I mentioned obviously I'm leaning Nicks. You know,

409
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:34,879
Speaker 5: I'm bleeding blue and orange right now as we speak.

410
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:37,560
Speaker 5: You know, purple and gold armor got put in the closet.

411
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:40,920
Speaker 5: So I'm all Nicks all the time moving forward. But

412
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 5: I saw this tweet. I think you'll appreciate it. Brendan

413
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:46,879
Speaker 5: Vatt I think is his name. He somewhere out of

414
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:52,439
Speaker 5: Denver put out this so poignant tweet about Doc Rivers

415
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:53,880
Speaker 5: that I tried to read it to you and share

416
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 5: with the masses. Honestly, hat tip to Doc Rivers for

417
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 5: taking an insane amount of money to lose, knowing he

418
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 5: was gonna lose the whole time telling us he was

419
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:08,480
Speaker 5: gonna lose the entire time and then actually losing.

420
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:11,320
Speaker 4: Oh, shout out to Doc Rivers, man.

421
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 3: I mean he didn't have giannas, so I can't beat

422
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:14,600
Speaker 3: him up. I mean, if you want to start talking

423
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:16,679
Speaker 3: about blown three one lead, sure we could do that.

424
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 5: But I thought that was fun for that because I

425
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:21,120
Speaker 5: mean he was warning us for months now.

426
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:24,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, he was Doc. Doc would tell you that, you guys,

427
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:25,200
Speaker 4: this is.

428
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 5: Not gonna work. That wouldn't worst this on my worst enemies.

429
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:31,439
Speaker 5: And then you know, even close aheads and finishes. This

430
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 5: season under Doc Rivers, the Bucks were in the bottom

431
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:37,440
Speaker 5: of the league and offensive rating, defensive rating, net rating,

432
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 5: and record and then obviously knocked out in round one.

433
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:43,359
Speaker 5: So shout out to uh, Doc Rivers still securing the

434
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:44,919
Speaker 5: bag even as he's.

435
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 2: It's all about securing that bag.

436
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:49,160
Speaker 4: Rob wildly disappointing.

437
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:52,920
Speaker 3: So I guess basically, if Pacers Calves, I actually think

438
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:56,200
Speaker 3: Pacers are gonna I'm sorry, not Pacers Magic Calves. I

439
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:57,880
Speaker 3: think the Magic could have going win tonight. I bet

440
00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:01,760
Speaker 3: on I told you yesterday minus three that's long gone.

441
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:04,560
Speaker 2: It looks like it's at this point four.

442
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:11,440
Speaker 3: And hold up, it's four Magic four And then MAVs

443
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:14,520
Speaker 3: favor by eight. I think I guess that's a sign

444
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:17,160
Speaker 3: that the books think the paper Clips is just gonna

445
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:20,200
Speaker 3: roll over after getting shell shocked by thirty. Now, remember

446
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 3: Luca does have the killer instinct. He went into Phoenix

447
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:27,919
Speaker 3: and beat the Sons by thirty. He does know how

448
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:29,199
Speaker 3: to put teams away.

449
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 2: I don't.

450
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:33,200
Speaker 3: I don't think they're gonna I mean, listen, Paul George.

451
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:35,119
Speaker 3: You know he would love to drop a forty burger

452
00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:38,119
Speaker 3: and a loss because he's looking at Hey, the Clippers

453
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:39,560
Speaker 3: don't want to give me the Max, don't want to

454
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:42,639
Speaker 3: give me the Max deal. Hey Orlando, Hey Philly, I

455
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:43,680
Speaker 3: would love a Max deal.

456
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 2: Can you please hook me up?

457
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:46,760
Speaker 3: So I think Paul George will go all out. This

458
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:49,639
Speaker 3: is the time though, when James Harden turns into a pumpkin.

459
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 3: So I like the map. I would go MAVs, MAVs

460
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 3: Magic money line, Parlay Tonight and then Saturday is tougher man.

461
00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:00,680
Speaker 3: This Timberwol' Nugget series has me kind of twisted. I'm

462
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:04,120
Speaker 3: just gonna get chalky with it and go Nuggets cover

463
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:06,199
Speaker 3: the spread in game one. But it's gonna be a

464
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 3: fascinating series, So I would go Magic tonight, Magic MAVs

465
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:15,080
Speaker 3: moneyline parlay, and then I would go Nuggets covering four

466
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:18,639
Speaker 3: on Saturday.

467
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:22,320
Speaker 5: Okay, I haven't even honestly looked at the Saturday slate,

468
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 5: like for the odds for me to really make an

469
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:27,680
Speaker 5: educated guess on that one, I don't. I'm staying away

470
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:30,200
Speaker 5: from the Caves magic game, point blank period. Even though

471
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 5: I picked the Caves to win the series in six games.

472
00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:36,400
Speaker 5: I believe so this would line up exactly the where

473
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:38,359
Speaker 5: I predicted it. I just don't have a good feel

474
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:41,440
Speaker 5: for this series because each game feels like a totally

475
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:44,400
Speaker 5: independent entity from the other ones. Like it doesn't feel

476
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:46,760
Speaker 5: like there's a flow to this series to the same

477
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:49,320
Speaker 5: way like we saw in the Nick Sixers, Like we

478
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:51,480
Speaker 5: knew every game was gonna be a rock fight, it

479
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:53,199
Speaker 5: was gonna go down to the final minute. Who can

480
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 5: execute like this does. I don't get that vibe at all.

481
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:58,120
Speaker 5: So I'm do something I almost never do. I'm gonna

482
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 5: do what's called the same game parlay. Oh no, what's

483
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:06,879
Speaker 5: on Clippers MAVs. I'm taking MAVs first quarter, I'm taking

484
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 5: MAVs first half, I'm taking MAVs money line. I'm taking

485
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:14,040
Speaker 5: MAVs giving up the seven and a half. This is

486
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 5: going to be a blood bath. This is going to

487
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:20,720
Speaker 5: be not quite Game seven Suns MAVs from a couple

488
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 5: of years ago. But Dallas is gonna roll in this one.

489
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 5: Luka Doncic might have a twenty five point triple double

490
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:31,600
Speaker 5: in the first half. That's what I'm expecting from him

491
00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:33,360
Speaker 5: coming up here on Friday night.

492
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:36,119
Speaker 3: I'm sure Monday will be able to talk about it.

493
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:38,119
Speaker 3: But we both like the MAVs. So where are you

494
00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:39,880
Speaker 3: on MAVs? Okase like any.

495
00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:44,920
Speaker 5: Lean or no oh Dallas, easy, easy, Luke, Luca's great

496
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 5: number one. Okase is just so young, like it is.

497
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:53,880
Speaker 5: It never happens. You never see a team that young

498
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:57,639
Speaker 5: advanced to the postseason and that's deep in the postseason

499
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 5: without taking their lumps at some point, Like Stephen Clay

500
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:05,760
Speaker 5: had to lose to the Clippers a few times, right,

501
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:08,159
Speaker 5: Shaq and Kobe had to lose to the Jazz a

502
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 5: couple of times. You know, that's that's the that's the process,

503
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:17,879
Speaker 5: and the Okayse's gonna be good for a really long time,

504
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 5: but they will not begin any of the second round

505
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:20,640
Speaker 5: this year.

506
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:27,720
Speaker 3: Lou Dort against Kyrie or Luca lou Dort's a problem SGA, Like,

507
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:29,840
Speaker 3: I don't know who matches up against SGA. I don't

508
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:31,440
Speaker 3: think it's gonna be that easy. This is it's gonna

509
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 3: be a good series. I'll go MAVs in six, yeah,

510
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:39,000
Speaker 3: because six would be in Dallas since okayse has whole

511
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 3: court of vintagey.

512
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:41,439
Speaker 5: I like how we're already picking the series before the

513
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:43,920
Speaker 5: series is even over with Clippers masks.

514
00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:45,439
Speaker 3: And I got to give a shout out to my

515
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:50,639
Speaker 3: Mexican soccer team nakoxa thrilling victory in penalty kicks to

516
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:53,200
Speaker 3: advance out of the play and they were the nine

517
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:55,600
Speaker 3: to ten play in game robs. So now they advanced

518
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:58,719
Speaker 3: to play the winner of the seven to eight playing

519
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:01,760
Speaker 3: game this weekend. And I don't know, they didn't play

520
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:04,000
Speaker 3: great in the play in, but they got the dub

521
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:08,480
Speaker 3: npks and I'm very excited for No. I didn't go
