As 0:00:25.840 --> 0:00:28.600 I told you all before, the goal was to win 0:00:28.680 --> 0:00:31.320 one game. We did that, protected our home court, and 0:00:31.360 --> 0:00:33.320 now it's time to go on the road and take one. 0:00:34.080 --> 0:00:36.200 And every series you gotta go win the road game, 0:00:38.360 --> 0:00:40.360 and we plan on doing that and we haven't done 0:00:40.360 --> 0:00:43.280 that yet, so I'm excited about it. As a reminder, 0:00:43.320 --> 0:00:45.440 if you're watching this on the Bleacher Report app, don't 0:00:45.440 --> 0:00:48.880 forget to subscribe to the Volumes YouTube channel as well, 0:00:49.840 --> 0:00:52.199 as all of our episodes will not be there, but 0:00:52.240 --> 0:00:54.120 you will catch some of them. To lock in on 0:00:54.200 --> 0:00:56.240 both of them and just shout out to the Bleacher 0:00:56.240 --> 0:00:58.440 Report family and the Volume family. 0:00:58.560 --> 0:01:01.320 For me, this is all kind of tying together. 0:01:01.400 --> 0:01:04.040 Obviously, Breach a reporter is part of a Turner family, 0:01:04.360 --> 0:01:07.160 the Volumes of part of my family. So it's exciting 0:01:07.200 --> 0:01:10.480 and I'm happy how it's all coming together. The Volume, 0:01:10.520 --> 0:01:13.520 for me, has been a great, absolutely great partner. When 0:01:13.560 --> 0:01:18.880 I started this podcast journey year and a half ago, 0:01:21.200 --> 0:01:25.080 almost two years ago. In the next few months, I 0:01:25.200 --> 0:01:29.200 honestly really just wanted to try it out again. I 0:01:29.280 --> 0:01:33.240 knew from my first podcast that I did many years ago, 0:01:33.280 --> 0:01:36.759 I wasn't and I wasn't ready for it. I knew 0:01:36.800 --> 0:01:41.120 that not often do you get second chances, and so 0:01:41.240 --> 0:01:43.600 I knew for me and coming back into this business 0:01:43.600 --> 0:01:46.160 that if I was going to do it, whenever I 0:01:46.240 --> 0:01:48.480 did it, that it had to be right, and it 0:01:48.520 --> 0:01:51.200 had to be and that I had to be committed. 0:01:51.480 --> 0:01:54.640 And so I always try to make sure I give 0:01:54.680 --> 0:01:57.880 you guys content that you're subscribed and checking out for. 0:01:59.200 --> 0:02:00.800 And again I just want to say thank you to 0:02:00.840 --> 0:02:02.320 the Volume as a partner man. 0:02:02.360 --> 0:02:05.160 It's been absolutely amazing journey and let's keep keep this 0:02:05.240 --> 0:02:07.560 thing going. But as I said, getting into Game five 0:02:07.640 --> 0:02:11.600 the Duves Too, Game five to one oh six, I 0:02:11.680 --> 0:02:17.200 came out energy, high energy, guns blazing, attacking from the gate. 0:02:17.400 --> 0:02:20.480 You know, when you're when you're facing elimination, you just 0:02:20.520 --> 0:02:22.120 got to leave it all out there on the table. 0:02:22.160 --> 0:02:25.160 And by the way, we're facing the elimination again tomorrow, 0:02:25.200 --> 0:02:28.880 so we got to go out with not the same mindset, 0:02:31.760 --> 0:02:34.600 but an even better mindset because you're on the road, 0:02:34.639 --> 0:02:37.240 and the same mindset that works at home does not 0:02:37.360 --> 0:02:38.160 work on the road. 0:02:38.280 --> 0:02:40.440 So got to go in even. 0:02:40.560 --> 0:02:45.560 With more dog, with more fight, with more focused, and 0:02:45.600 --> 0:02:47.839 that'll be the goal, and that'll be the challenge for us. 0:02:48.160 --> 0:02:50.200 Just then this thing one more game and bring it 0:02:50.240 --> 0:02:53.400 back to the Bay for Game seven. Everybody loves Game seven, 0:02:54.639 --> 0:02:58.960 greatest two words in sports. So looking forward to Game 0:02:59.000 --> 0:03:02.000 six and going out there getting it done. Obviously, we 0:03:02.040 --> 0:03:05.200 all heard the news about a d also just recently 0:03:05.240 --> 0:03:07.560 heard that you know, he's expected to play tomorrow, which 0:03:07.600 --> 0:03:09.800 I'm happy about. You never want to play against the 0:03:09.800 --> 0:03:13.280 team not at their best, not at full strength. And also, 0:03:14.200 --> 0:03:17.720 you know, as I spoke about last last episode with 0:03:17.880 --> 0:03:22.000 my when I banged my head against the against the floor, 0:03:22.040 --> 0:03:24.960 against the floor, when when me and bron had the 0:03:24.960 --> 0:03:29.120 collision mid air, just don't play with those head injuries. Man, 0:03:29.240 --> 0:03:32.760 They're they're serious. I saw a lot of people laughing 0:03:32.800 --> 0:03:37.400 and talk like, but it's a hit to the head, 0:03:38.360 --> 0:03:40.680 and like one small hit to the head can change 0:03:40.720 --> 0:03:44.640 everything in your life. So I don't really understand the joke. 0:03:46.760 --> 0:03:49.960 I don't understand it at all. It's every time you 0:03:50.000 --> 0:03:53.040 step out in the basketball court, the football field, the hockey, 0:03:53.640 --> 0:03:56.560 on the ice, on the pitch, you're risking your life 0:03:56.600 --> 0:04:01.440 because one injury can change everything, you know well, and 0:04:02.800 --> 0:04:05.200 not this past World Cup, but the World Cup before, 0:04:05.240 --> 0:04:08.120 and they are having injury to his back that almost 0:04:08.200 --> 0:04:10.960 paralyzed him. There was a couple of centimeters away for 0:04:11.120 --> 0:04:16.200 paralyzing him. And so you know, I don't quite understand 0:04:16.279 --> 0:04:21.400 the laughing why it's so funny. And a guy gets 0:04:21.440 --> 0:04:24.440 hitting the head like the smallest hit to the wrong 0:04:24.520 --> 0:04:28.320 part of the head can change your life. So I 0:04:28.320 --> 0:04:32.560 don't really understand that. But it's quite a few things 0:04:32.640 --> 0:04:37.160 I don't necessarily understand, but. 0:04:38.880 --> 0:04:40.320 In this world that we live in. 0:04:41.240 --> 0:04:43.000 But as I said, you know, I wanted to come 0:04:43.000 --> 0:04:44.760 out guns blazing, with high energy. 0:04:45.320 --> 0:04:46.800 Finished the game with twenty and ten. 0:04:46.920 --> 0:04:49.680 Jackson said, man, I just got on this logged in 0:04:49.720 --> 0:04:52.000 and Jackson said, man, your first twenty and ten games 0:04:52.000 --> 0:04:54.679 since twenty nineteen. I said, goddamn, Jackson, I only played 0:04:54.680 --> 0:04:59.000 in one playoffs run, had one playoff run since twenty nineteen. 0:04:59.320 --> 0:05:02.120 Cut me a little slack, no, But honestly, you know, 0:05:02.160 --> 0:05:04.120 it's great to have a great game, Like I said, 0:05:04.160 --> 0:05:06.840 with your back against the wall, you want to play 0:05:06.839 --> 0:05:10.279 your best also found out more news last night that 0:05:10.440 --> 0:05:15.080 Lebron James and I are the only two active players 0:05:15.440 --> 0:05:18.719 with sixty plus playoff double doubles. 0:05:18.560 --> 0:05:21.799 And that one. 0:05:24.000 --> 0:05:25.919 That kind of took me back a little bit, Like, 0:05:27.160 --> 0:05:30.760 you know, anytime you're mentioned on the list with Lebron James, 0:05:30.839 --> 0:05:35.400 that's incredible. Like we all know his resume. I was 0:05:35.400 --> 0:05:37.719 sitting with my wife last night and she's like, oh man, 0:05:37.800 --> 0:05:40.080 that's dope. So sixty plus right, I'm like, yeah, Lebron 0:05:40.120 --> 0:05:42.760 probably got two hundred plus, but yeah, sixty plus, I'll 0:05:42.800 --> 0:05:43.200 take it. 0:05:44.520 --> 0:05:49.039 And it was, you know right, like I said. 0:05:48.520 --> 0:05:50.960 That's what you You don't play the game for records, 0:05:51.000 --> 0:05:53.159 you don't play the game for accolades, but that is 0:05:53.200 --> 0:05:55.400 what you put the work in for, you know, like 0:05:56.160 --> 0:06:00.200 to ultimately be acknowledged with the goats, and from me 0:06:00.839 --> 0:06:03.960 when I saw that, not some crazy big deal, but 0:06:04.080 --> 0:06:06.520 for me just to see that, like it's like more 0:06:06.600 --> 0:06:10.560 motivation to keep going, you know, Like I saw maybe 0:06:10.640 --> 0:06:13.320 a week and a half ago a triple double playoff list, 0:06:13.360 --> 0:06:15.080 and like I think I was right there ahead a 0:06:15.160 --> 0:06:15.880 joker or. 0:06:16.880 --> 0:06:19.279 Maybe a little behind our head. And but like. 0:06:20.760 --> 0:06:23.560 They're like Kevin Durantz in the playoffs, you know, like 0:06:23.600 --> 0:06:26.559 there are Jimmy Butler's in the playoffs, raw, like there's 0:06:26.800 --> 0:06:29.760 great players in the playoffs. And for me to be 0:06:29.800 --> 0:06:32.360 the only other guy on that list, Steph Curry's in 0:06:32.400 --> 0:06:35.960 the playoffs, Like, for me to be the only guy 0:06:36.279 --> 0:06:39.560 on that list, I'm very appreciative of that, and it's 0:06:39.600 --> 0:06:43.360 something that I don't take for granted. Steph had twenty seven, 0:06:43.440 --> 0:06:47.320 eight and three. I saw someone say, man, it was 0:06:47.320 --> 0:06:50.919 a pretty quiet twenty seven or quiet game for Steph, 0:06:50.960 --> 0:06:53.880 and I'm like, okay, well that's cool. I mean, it 0:06:54.000 --> 0:06:57.320 was definitely like not some crazy flur. You know, we're 0:06:57.440 --> 0:06:59.640 used to like Steph going on these crazy flurs. And 0:06:59.680 --> 0:07:04.800 it was just like steady the whole game, like pace control, 0:07:05.160 --> 0:07:09.600 getting others involved no turn, not turning the ball over, 0:07:09.720 --> 0:07:13.120 like it was just controlled the whole game, and it 0:07:13.240 --> 0:07:16.720 was just marching you along. And I thought it was 0:07:16.760 --> 0:07:22.600 absolutely great, absolutely incredible, you know. And also didn't want 0:07:22.640 --> 0:07:24.480 him to have to carry so much of the low 0:07:24.600 --> 0:07:26.520 like he did in game four. That is a bit 0:07:26.640 --> 0:07:29.760 taxing on the body, and we definitely didn't want to 0:07:30.680 --> 0:07:33.000 do that. And so it's great, you know, for me 0:07:33.080 --> 0:07:36.240 to come out and have a good game Wigs. Two 0:07:36.280 --> 0:07:41.400 Way Wigs came out with twenty five seven boards, five assists, 0:07:41.440 --> 0:07:44.640 an incredible defense on the other end. That was a 0:07:44.680 --> 0:07:46.960 point in the game where he started picking Bron up 0:07:47.120 --> 0:07:55.760 like way out past half court and someone asked me, like, 0:07:56.520 --> 0:07:59.360 do you like Wiggs picking up the high out like 0:07:59.400 --> 0:08:01.360 why is he pick bron so? And I said, that's 0:08:01.360 --> 0:08:03.520 the competitive juices, Like what do you mean, do you 0:08:03.680 --> 0:08:06.280 like it? Or why is he doing it? Because when 0:08:06.320 --> 0:08:09.240 you're out there on the floor and the juices, like 0:08:09.880 --> 0:08:12.520 you get the competitive juices flowing, you just go with it. 0:08:13.800 --> 0:08:16.000 And so in that moment, he's like, forget that, I'm 0:08:16.000 --> 0:08:16.680 picking him up. 0:08:16.720 --> 0:08:17.120 And like. 0:08:18.600 --> 0:08:20.160 In one of those plays, I was able to get 0:08:20.200 --> 0:08:22.520 the block on ad behind because I just when you 0:08:22.640 --> 0:08:25.960 got a guy that's doing that, that's putting that effort 0:08:26.000 --> 0:08:28.200 out there, regardless of what it is. 0:08:28.400 --> 0:08:30.280 When you're you have. 0:08:30.160 --> 0:08:33.520 To be beyond beyond behind the play ready to react. 0:08:34.559 --> 0:08:37.880 When he's picking up like that fool, he has to 0:08:37.960 --> 0:08:40.520 know somebody got me covered if I get beat, because 0:08:40.559 --> 0:08:44.080 the reality is, hey, you know, we know what a 0:08:44.280 --> 0:08:47.199 what a force, such a force that bron is coming downhill. 0:08:47.600 --> 0:08:49.880 But the reality is there's so much space to give 0:08:49.920 --> 0:08:54.080 someone to run a start for him to pick him 0:08:54.160 --> 0:08:56.640 up that way, like he has to know and you 0:08:56.800 --> 0:08:59.320 have to ensure that he knows if I do that, 0:08:59.480 --> 0:09:02.720 someone has my back and everybody had his back, and 0:09:02.760 --> 0:09:05.959 it was absolutely great. I think people tend to forget. 0:09:07.559 --> 0:09:11.520 That's wigs twelve game in three and a half months, 0:09:13.200 --> 0:09:15.320 so you're starting to see more of the putbacks and 0:09:15.480 --> 0:09:18.040 dunks and the legs coming back and absolutely coming out 0:09:18.080 --> 0:09:21.880 a great time because we need it not only well 0:09:21.960 --> 0:09:25.440 numb first off, to get back control of this series 0:09:25.480 --> 0:09:28.679 and win this series, but also moving forward, we know 0:09:28.720 --> 0:09:31.839 how important Wigs is to everything we do, especially come 0:09:31.880 --> 0:09:32.600 playoff time. 0:09:32.679 --> 0:09:34.880 So that's huge. 0:09:35.280 --> 0:09:42.960 GP two Gary Payton, Man, it's playing incredible basketball plus 0:09:43.080 --> 0:09:46.320 twenty five and twenty seven minutes. That is why you 0:09:46.400 --> 0:09:49.160 trace five second round picks for Gary Payton the second 0:09:49.400 --> 0:09:53.800 to bring him back to help you win a championship 0:09:53.800 --> 0:09:56.080 because you know the impact that he has on the 0:09:56.160 --> 0:10:03.080 game on both sides of the floor. Absolutely amazing competitor 0:10:04.000 --> 0:10:06.560 and you got it honest as we know, his pops 0:10:06.640 --> 0:10:09.120 is one of the greatest competitors and growing up watching that, 0:10:09.200 --> 0:10:11.680 he took some of that and does it in a 0:10:11.720 --> 0:10:15.600 totally different way, right, like, way more toned down than 0:10:15.600 --> 0:10:19.520 his pops, much quieter, It's much nicer in a sense. 0:10:20.840 --> 0:10:23.800 Oh GGP was an asshole at times, talking a bunch 0:10:23.840 --> 0:10:24.280 of cash. 0:10:24.320 --> 0:10:24.920 I loved it. 0:10:26.080 --> 0:10:28.800 You know, one of the guys I have the utmost 0:10:28.840 --> 0:10:31.960 respect for, and so you know, it's good to see 0:10:32.000 --> 0:10:35.400 GP having a series that he's having, especially after not 0:10:35.440 --> 0:10:38.439 playing a bunch early. You know, you make those adjustments 0:10:38.440 --> 0:10:40.160 and you need guys to step up, and he's been 0:10:40.160 --> 0:10:42.840 stepping up. Moses Moody has been stepping up. Moses Moody 0:10:42.840 --> 0:10:46.319 has given us great minutes. Was riding with Moses last night. 0:10:46.320 --> 0:10:48.160 I was dropping him off at home and I said, Mo, 0:10:48.320 --> 0:10:50.000 how crazy is it to you that, like. 0:10:51.600 --> 0:10:53.520 You guarding Lebron James in the playoffs. 0:10:53.600 --> 0:10:56.080 He said, Man, it's crazy, he said, that's my matchup, 0:10:56.160 --> 0:10:57.160 like I'm guarding him. 0:10:57.200 --> 0:10:57.840 He guarded me. 0:10:59.559 --> 0:11:03.360 I said, it's incredible, man, Like a couple of years ago, 0:11:03.480 --> 0:11:06.800 you was in high school, your guard Lebron James, he's 0:11:06.800 --> 0:11:09.680 guarding you in the playoffs. That's incredible. Enjoy those moments. 0:11:10.160 --> 0:11:12.760 Keep doing what you're doing, playing hard the way you're playing, 0:11:12.800 --> 0:11:15.640 controlling what you can control, he's been giving us great minutes. 0:11:16.640 --> 0:11:21.800 Shout out to the young young champion, Moses Moody. Clay 0:11:22.400 --> 0:11:26.680 did not have had another rough shooting night, but his 0:11:26.800 --> 0:11:29.120 imprint was all over the game. Number one, whether he's 0:11:29.160 --> 0:11:31.280 having a rough shooting night, dude, just what Clay does 0:11:31.320 --> 0:11:33.319 for your space and teams aren't going to help off 0:11:33.360 --> 0:11:36.880 him at all and so opens the floor regardless, And 0:11:37.040 --> 0:11:38.880 like I said, I would love to see them give 0:11:38.960 --> 0:11:40.880 him some open looks if they think, oh man, he's 0:11:40.880 --> 0:11:42.280 not shooting, well, we can help off. 0:11:42.320 --> 0:11:42.880 That'd be great. 0:11:45.000 --> 0:11:49.760 His defense, his competitiveness had he had his imprint all 0:11:49.760 --> 0:11:50.400 over the game. 0:11:50.440 --> 0:11:54.120 He was really really good defensively and. 0:11:56.920 --> 0:11:58.680 Got into the paint a couple of times, broke the 0:11:58.720 --> 0:12:04.000 defense down and kicked it out like took eleven shots, 0:12:04.000 --> 0:12:07.800 by the way, wasn't forcing anything, wasn't forcing shots. It 0:12:07.840 --> 0:12:12.599 was absolutely incredible And at some point he's going to 0:12:12.679 --> 0:12:15.920 have a big shooting and we know that and we 0:12:16.040 --> 0:12:19.360 trust and we believe in that. Hopefully it's game six Clay, 0:12:20.120 --> 0:12:24.000 that would be nice, but definitely looking forward to that. 0:12:24.440 --> 0:12:25.800 JP had a much. 0:12:25.679 --> 0:12:28.640 Better game last night, just more aggressive on both sides 0:12:28.679 --> 0:12:33.480 of the ball, and you know, his shot still didn't 0:12:33.520 --> 0:12:35.840 fall at the rate where you're accustomed to it falling out, 0:12:35.880 --> 0:12:38.120 or at the rate that he wanted at. But you 0:12:38.200 --> 0:12:40.920 don't just come out of a slump guns blazing. You 0:12:41.000 --> 0:12:43.480 get it back step by stepping. So seeing him as 0:12:43.480 --> 0:12:50.480 aggressive as he was taking good shots last night, now 0:12:50.480 --> 0:12:52.640 you start to build on that, you start to see 0:12:52.640 --> 0:12:55.600 more shots fall, and I think that's huge. So it's 0:12:55.679 --> 0:12:59.480 great to see him looking more like himself last night, 0:13:01.520 --> 0:13:03.920 and I enjoyed that. I got a chance to see 0:13:03.960 --> 0:13:07.160 the great Matthew McConaughey after the game. 0:13:07.760 --> 0:13:10.160 It's absolutely incredible to meet him. 0:13:10.760 --> 0:13:15.800 Uh with the great Mark Bennioff uh founder of Self, 0:13:15.920 --> 0:13:20.040 CEO of Salesforce. Maybe step down the CEO of Salesforce, 0:13:20.080 --> 0:13:21.880 by the way, I'm not sure. I haven't kept up 0:13:21.920 --> 0:13:23.520 with that news over the last couple of years. I 0:13:23.559 --> 0:13:27.080 know he was stepping down and maybe not. But you know, 0:13:27.120 --> 0:13:30.240 Mark's great. I've had the opportunity to spend some time 0:13:30.240 --> 0:13:31.400 with him a couple of times. 0:13:32.800 --> 0:13:34.320 Absolutely incredible person. 0:13:34.400 --> 0:13:36.679 What he's done here in the city of San Francisco, 0:13:37.679 --> 0:13:40.280 it's incredible. What he's done for business as a whole 0:13:40.880 --> 0:13:45.800 in the world is absolutely amazing. One of the one 0:13:45.800 --> 0:13:48.360 of the perks of playing for the Golden State Warriors 0:13:48.480 --> 0:13:52.640 is like you're around greats like Mark, Bennie Offfen and 0:13:52.920 --> 0:13:54.920 Eddie Q and like the list. 0:13:54.720 --> 0:13:56.400 Goes on and on and on. 0:13:59.120 --> 0:14:03.280 Where where where lucky to be around those types of 0:14:03.280 --> 0:14:06.400 people and learning from them and rubbing elbows like it's 0:14:06.440 --> 0:14:09.720 absolutely incredible. You're talking about some of the best in 0:14:09.800 --> 0:14:14.319 the world at what they do. So I'm always appreciative that. 0:14:15.040 --> 0:14:19.680 Before we are, Jackson wanted to know what the conversation 0:14:19.960 --> 0:14:22.800 was with Zach Zarba about me quiet and down. I 0:14:22.840 --> 0:14:25.360 saw people saying, oh, man, Draymond asked for a tech 0:14:25.400 --> 0:14:29.880 and he didn't get a tech. Well, the reason I 0:14:29.960 --> 0:14:32.560 didn't get a tech is because what Zach was telling 0:14:32.600 --> 0:14:34.280 me he was going to tech me for was for 0:14:34.320 --> 0:14:37.360 talking to the other team, not for talking to him. 0:14:37.560 --> 0:14:41.640 I wasn't having much of a conversation with him. The 0:14:41.680 --> 0:14:45.280 conversation with Zach was about me talking to the other team, 0:14:46.200 --> 0:14:48.280 and so he said, like, Draymond, I'm going to text you. 0:14:48.320 --> 0:14:51.160 I said, Zach, you're gonna have to You're going to 0:14:51.240 --> 0:14:53.560 have to not because me and him was in some 0:14:53.760 --> 0:14:55.680 argument and I told him to text me because I 0:14:55.720 --> 0:14:58.080 was talking to him. So for those of you that's 0:14:58.080 --> 0:15:00.400 out here making it out like, oh, they just wouldn't 0:15:00.400 --> 0:15:03.400 take Draymond. He wouldn't take Draymond because what he told 0:15:03.440 --> 0:15:07.520 me he was teching me for wasn't occurring at the 0:15:07.560 --> 0:15:09.080 time that he said he was gonna text me. 0:15:09.280 --> 0:15:13.080 So what did I do. I continued to talk, but 0:15:13.160 --> 0:15:14.440 I toned it down. 0:15:14.600 --> 0:15:18.080 I didn't make it so obvious that you all could 0:15:18.120 --> 0:15:20.960 tell that I was talking. But I continue. It's a 0:15:21.040 --> 0:15:23.000 part of the game. It's a close out game. And 0:15:23.040 --> 0:15:25.520 you know what Zach said. And Zach, as we all know, 0:15:25.640 --> 0:15:29.440 is one of the best officials in the NBA. He 0:15:29.520 --> 0:15:32.760 said Draymond, I know it's a high emotion game and 0:15:32.880 --> 0:15:35.720 that right there, like that understanding is huge. 0:15:35.760 --> 0:15:38.560 Like so many people don't understand that part of it. 0:15:38.600 --> 0:15:40.240 It's like, oh, man, every game is the same, and 0:15:40.240 --> 0:15:42.960 I always tell you guys, it's so cliche. Every game 0:15:43.000 --> 0:15:45.480 isn't the same, Like the emotions isn't the same for 0:15:45.560 --> 0:15:48.040 every game, and so like just to have a great 0:15:48.200 --> 0:15:51.680 official like Zach Zara to understand that, it's like, yo, 0:15:51.880 --> 0:15:54.800 every game is not the same, Like the emotions in 0:15:54.800 --> 0:15:56.560 this game is extremely high. 0:15:56.840 --> 0:15:59.600 I understand that. That's huge. 0:16:00.280 --> 0:16:04.680 That's huge, absolutely huge, because what it does is it 0:16:04.720 --> 0:16:08.120 allows for a better product for our fans, you know, 0:16:08.200 --> 0:16:11.920 like fans want to see guys going at it, and 0:16:11.960 --> 0:16:14.760 it allows for a better product as opposed to like 0:16:14.800 --> 0:16:16.880 treating it like a regular season game, like oh man, 0:16:17.160 --> 0:16:19.880 guys are talking early motion like nah, it's different. 0:16:19.920 --> 0:16:20.880 It's a close out game. 0:16:20.880 --> 0:16:24.400 It's a playoff game like Backs against the Wall, seasons 0:16:24.400 --> 0:16:29.480 on the line. You can respect guys who understand the 0:16:29.520 --> 0:16:31.720 way Zach does absolutely incredible. 0:16:31.760 --> 0:16:33.360 So that was the conversation. 0:16:33.480 --> 0:16:35.480 For all of you that may have thought I was 0:16:35.520 --> 0:16:37.680 cursing Zach, I wasn't cursing Zach out at all. 0:16:39.160 --> 0:16:42.080 It wasn't the case. He was telling me to shut 0:16:42.080 --> 0:16:45.120 the hell up that what was going on, but not 0:16:45.200 --> 0:16:48.000 to him. And so once the conversation continue with him, 0:16:48.040 --> 0:16:50.640 I'm saying, Zach, you're gonna have to text me that 0:16:50.840 --> 0:16:58.480 was that anyway before we move on, I'd be remiss, 0:16:59.160 --> 0:17:01.240 And I apologize for taking so long to say this. 0:17:03.560 --> 0:17:11.480 Praying for Jamie Fox. Jamie Fox, I've had the honor 0:17:11.560 --> 0:17:15.600 of getting to know him since two Thoy fourteen fifteen. 0:17:16.400 --> 0:17:22.639 One of the best human beings you'll meet absolutely incredible person. 0:17:25.720 --> 0:17:28.800 There hasn't been much info release. I've heard a few things. 0:17:28.840 --> 0:17:30.679 I'm not going to go into them because that's not 0:17:30.760 --> 0:17:35.760 my business, that's not my place. But I just hope 0:17:36.000 --> 0:17:38.720 some of the info that's come out lately isn't true. 0:17:39.680 --> 0:17:44.439 Jamie Fox is a staple and the culture. He's a 0:17:44.520 --> 0:17:47.960 staple in the community. He's a staple in Hollywood and 0:17:48.080 --> 0:17:52.240 one of the best ever, one of the most talented 0:17:52.320 --> 0:17:56.200 human beings on planet Earth, one of the hardest working 0:17:56.240 --> 0:17:59.959 people on planet Earth. Jamie Fox is an incredible comedian, 0:18:01.400 --> 0:18:08.440 He's an incredible singer, he's an incredible actor, and quite frankly, 0:18:08.560 --> 0:18:11.200 I feel like I'm leaving something off the list. 0:18:12.880 --> 0:18:15.280 I mean, you're talking about. 0:18:15.080 --> 0:18:19.760 A guy that's great at like all of those things, 0:18:20.400 --> 0:18:25.160 Like it's so rare impersonating people. His performance in Ray 0:18:25.359 --> 0:18:31.560 was absolutely insane, Like was nuts, like he played Ray 0:18:31.640 --> 0:18:41.719 Charles like I couldn't believe it. Such a pillar and 0:18:41.760 --> 0:18:47.160 everything we have gone and the progress that we've made 0:18:47.280 --> 0:18:55.240 in Hollywood as African Americans. I just hope and pray 0:18:55.359 --> 0:19:00.119 that he's okay, that he stays strong and fights and 0:19:00.520 --> 0:19:03.560 get through what he's going through. Praying for his family, 0:19:04.400 --> 0:19:09.680 sending my love and well wishes because to all of us, 0:19:09.720 --> 0:19:11.880 he's like the most talented person in the world. He's 0:19:11.920 --> 0:19:16.639 absolutely amazing. Like we've had the we've had the honor 0:19:16.680 --> 0:19:19.639 and pleasure of watching him from all these years. Jamie 0:19:19.640 --> 0:19:26.639 Fox Show is one of my favorite shows. That's what 0:19:26.680 --> 0:19:30.439 he is to us, right like, but he's a dad, 0:19:31.720 --> 0:19:35.920 it's a friend, like a son like. 0:19:38.320 --> 0:19:41.520 To his family, and. 0:19:41.600 --> 0:19:44.120 Like every day they're living with that void of him 0:19:44.119 --> 0:19:47.480 being in the hospital, him not being the Jamie that 0:19:47.600 --> 0:19:50.880 he's been, the rock that he's been for them for 0:19:50.960 --> 0:19:54.359 so long, and so I'm praying for them, praying for 0:19:54.480 --> 0:19:59.080 him and wishing him well. Like I said, I would 0:19:59.119 --> 0:20:03.679 be remiss if I didn't say that again or now, 0:20:04.200 --> 0:20:07.280 and I do apologize for not saying it for so long. 0:20:07.920 --> 0:20:11.800 It's just such little information. Didn't know much, so didn't 0:20:11.840 --> 0:20:15.120 want to, you know, just start speaking and not knowing 0:20:15.160 --> 0:20:17.960 what's going on. And so I still don't know a ton. 0:20:18.080 --> 0:20:20.800 Like I said, I've heard some things, but it's not 0:20:20.920 --> 0:20:25.800 my place to share those. But prayers up for his family, 0:20:25.840 --> 0:20:29.760 prayers up for Jamie, wishing him and hoping and praying 0:20:29.800 --> 0:20:31.280 for speedy recovery. 0:20:34.680 --> 0:20:36.560 And getting back to basketball. 0:20:37.119 --> 0:20:39.719 The Knicks extends the series with a one twelve, one 0:20:39.760 --> 0:20:43.119 oh three win over the Heat. Jalen Brunson played forty 0:20:43.160 --> 0:20:46.280 eight minutes at thirty eight, seven and nine. I must say, 0:20:46.359 --> 0:20:50.280 I'm very surprised that the Miami Heat has not gone 0:20:50.320 --> 0:20:56.359 to Jimmy Butler on Jaylen Brunson, Gay Gay Vincent is 0:20:56.400 --> 0:20:59.959 doing a incredible job of competing. He just don't have 0:21:00.160 --> 0:21:04.960 the size. He doesn't have the size. And I personally 0:21:05.000 --> 0:21:10.000 think like Jalen is everything for them, like he makes 0:21:10.000 --> 0:21:12.439 the team go, like he's getting him into their sets, 0:21:12.480 --> 0:21:17.960 He's getting his stuff. Julius Randall had a much better 0:21:18.000 --> 0:21:21.439 game last night after starting one to seven, finished with 0:21:21.480 --> 0:21:27.560 twenty four. But Jalen's the engine, and you have a 0:21:27.600 --> 0:21:30.520 guy in Jimmy Butler who's capable of guarding him. I'm 0:21:30.640 --> 0:21:33.840 shocked the Miami he hasn't gone to that. Maybe that's 0:21:33.840 --> 0:21:38.360 a game six adjustment, we'll see, but Miami's headed back 0:21:38.359 --> 0:21:41.840 home in Game six with an opportunity to close. I 0:21:41.880 --> 0:21:44.600 think it's very dangerous that they allowed Julius Randall to 0:21:44.600 --> 0:21:46.840 get going. You definitely wanted to keep him on ice, 0:21:47.600 --> 0:21:49.840 keep his confidence low. They allowed him to get going 0:21:50.480 --> 0:21:53.520 makes game six a lot tougher. Like I said, though, 0:21:53.680 --> 0:21:55.760 the one thing I think can help with game six 0:21:55.960 --> 0:21:59.680 is if they put Jimmy Butler on Jalen Brunston. Looking 0:21:59.720 --> 0:22:03.919 to see if they'll make that adjustment. But I watched 0:22:03.920 --> 0:22:09.200 that game late last night, and you had Duncan Robinson 0:22:09.200 --> 0:22:11.000 with a three on. 0:22:10.880 --> 0:22:12.960 The wing, down one oh five to one on one. 0:22:13.600 --> 0:22:15.920 He hits that three, makes it a one point game, 0:22:17.480 --> 0:22:21.359 could change everything. In turn, he misses it. They go down. 0:22:21.600 --> 0:22:24.240 Jimmy steps up off Mitchell Robinson's body on the drive, 0:22:24.280 --> 0:22:25.680 they drop it off, they get a dunk. 0:22:25.680 --> 0:22:30.120 They go up six fast forward. 0:22:30.200 --> 0:22:32.520 Duncan Robinson had another three from the top of the key, 0:22:32.880 --> 0:22:39.760 missed it again. Jimmy had two free throws down three, 0:22:40.000 --> 0:22:43.600 missed the first one. I said all that to say 0:22:43.640 --> 0:22:45.600 they had every opportunity to win that game. 0:22:46.320 --> 0:22:49.760 They let one get away. Gotta go make it right 0:22:49.840 --> 0:22:50.440 in game six. 0:22:50.480 --> 0:22:53.040 You do not want to return the massive square garden 0:22:53.680 --> 0:22:55.840 in game seven with them Knicks. 0:22:55.480 --> 0:22:58.400 Fans, so they gotta go get it done. 0:22:59.040 --> 0:23:01.400 They let it Golden Opper Twnity slip away last night, 0:23:02.560 --> 0:23:05.679
