Speaker 1: The Volume. What's up, everybody, Welcome back to the Draymond
Speaker 1: Green Show. As you know, we are recording this morning
Speaker 1: after Game five where the Dogs got.
Speaker 2: A big win extending the series.
Speaker 1: Headed back to LA today, excited for the opportunity. As
Speaker 1: I told you all before, the goal was to win
Speaker 1: one game. We did that, protected our home court, and
Speaker 1: now it's time to go on the road and take one.
Speaker 1: And every series you gotta go win the road game,
Speaker 1: and we plan on doing that and we haven't done
Speaker 1: that yet, so I'm excited about it. As a reminder,
Speaker 1: if you're watching this on the Bleacher Report app, don't
Speaker 1: forget to subscribe to the Volumes YouTube channel as well,
Speaker 1: as all of our episodes will not be there, but
Speaker 1: you will catch some of them. To lock in on
Speaker 1: both of them and just shout out to the Bleacher
Speaker 1: Report family and the Volume family.
Speaker 2: For me, this is all kind of tying together.
Speaker 1: Obviously, Breach a reporter is part of a Turner family,
Speaker 1: the Volumes of part of my family. So it's exciting
Speaker 1: and I'm happy how it's all coming together. The Volume,
Speaker 1: for me, has been a great, absolutely great partner. When
Speaker 1: I started this podcast journey year and a half ago,
Speaker 1: almost two years ago. In the next few months, I
Speaker 1: honestly really just wanted to try it out again. I
Speaker 1: knew from my first podcast that I did many years ago,
Speaker 1: I wasn't and I wasn't ready for it. I knew
Speaker 1: that not often do you get second chances, and so
Speaker 1: I knew for me and coming back into this business
Speaker 1: that if I was going to do it, whenever I
Speaker 1: did it, that it had to be right, and it
Speaker 1: had to be and that I had to be committed.
Speaker 1: And so I always try to make sure I give
Speaker 1: you guys content that you're subscribed and checking out for.
Speaker 2: And again I just want to say thank you to
Speaker 2: the Volume as a partner man.
Speaker 1: It's been absolutely amazing journey and let's keep keep this
Speaker 1: thing going. But as I said, getting into Game five
Speaker 1: the Duves Too, Game five to one oh six, I
Speaker 1: came out energy, high energy, guns blazing, attacking from the gate.
Speaker 1: You know, when you're when you're facing elimination, you just
Speaker 1: got to leave it all out there on the table.
Speaker 1: And by the way, we're facing the elimination again tomorrow,
Speaker 1: so we got to go out with not the same mindset,
Speaker 1: but an even better mindset because you're on the road,
Speaker 1: and the same mindset that works at home does not
Speaker 1: work on the road.
Speaker 2: So got to go in even.
Speaker 1: With more dog, with more fight, with more focused, and
Speaker 1: that'll be the goal, and that'll be the challenge for us.
Speaker 1: Just then this thing one more game and bring it
Speaker 1: back to the Bay for Game seven. Everybody loves Game seven,
Speaker 1: greatest two words in sports. So looking forward to Game
Speaker 1: six and going out there getting it done. Obviously, we
Speaker 1: all heard the news about a d also just recently
Speaker 1: heard that you know, he's expected to play tomorrow, which
Speaker 1: I'm happy about. You never want to play against the
Speaker 1: team not at their best, not at full strength. And also,
Speaker 1: you know, as I spoke about last last episode with
Speaker 1: my when I banged my head against the against the floor,
Speaker 1: against the floor, when when me and bron had the
Speaker 1: collision mid air, just don't play with those head injuries. Man,
Speaker 1: They're they're serious. I saw a lot of people laughing
Speaker 1: and talk like, but it's a hit to the head,
Speaker 1: and like one small hit to the head can change
Speaker 1: everything in your life. So I don't really understand the joke.
Speaker 1: I don't understand it at all. It's every time you
Speaker 1: step out in the basketball court, the football field, the hockey,
Speaker 1: on the ice, on the pitch, you're risking your life
Speaker 1: because one injury can change everything, you know well, and
Speaker 1: not this past World Cup, but the World Cup before,
Speaker 1: and they are having injury to his back that almost
Speaker 1: paralyzed him. There was a couple of centimeters away for
Speaker 1: paralyzing him. And so you know, I don't quite understand
Speaker 1: the laughing why it's so funny. And a guy gets
Speaker 1: hitting the head like the smallest hit to the wrong
Speaker 1: part of the head can change your life. So I
Speaker 1: don't really understand that. But it's quite a few things
Speaker 1: I don't necessarily understand, but.
Speaker 2: In this world that we live in.
Speaker 1: But as I said, you know, I wanted to come
Speaker 1: out guns blazing, with high energy.
Speaker 2: Finished the game with twenty and ten.
Speaker 1: Jackson said, man, I just got on this logged in
Speaker 1: and Jackson said, man, your first twenty and ten games
Speaker 1: since twenty nineteen. I said, goddamn, Jackson, I only played
Speaker 1: in one playoffs run, had one playoff run since twenty nineteen.
Speaker 1: Cut me a little slack, no, But honestly, you know,
Speaker 1: it's great to have a great game, Like I said,
Speaker 1: with your back against the wall, you want to play
Speaker 1: your best also found out more news last night that
Speaker 1: Lebron James and I are the only two active players
Speaker 1: with sixty plus playoff double doubles.
Speaker 2: And that one.
Speaker 1: That kind of took me back a little bit, Like,
Speaker 1: you know, anytime you're mentioned on the list with Lebron James,
Speaker 1: that's incredible. Like we all know his resume. I was
Speaker 1: sitting with my wife last night and she's like, oh man,
Speaker 1: that's dope. So sixty plus right, I'm like, yeah, Lebron
Speaker 1: probably got two hundred plus, but yeah, sixty plus, I'll
Speaker 1: take it.
Speaker 2: And it was, you know right, like I said.
Speaker 1: That's what you You don't play the game for records,
Speaker 1: you don't play the game for accolades, but that is
Speaker 1: what you put the work in for, you know, like
Speaker 1: to ultimately be acknowledged with the goats, and from me
Speaker 1: when I saw that, not some crazy big deal, but
Speaker 1: for me just to see that, like it's like more
Speaker 1: motivation to keep going, you know, Like I saw maybe
Speaker 1: a week and a half ago a triple double playoff list,
Speaker 1: and like I think I was right there ahead a
Speaker 1: joker or.
Speaker 2: Maybe a little behind our head. And but like.
Speaker 1: They're like Kevin Durantz in the playoffs, you know, like
Speaker 1: there are Jimmy Butler's in the playoffs, raw, like there's
Speaker 1: great players in the playoffs. And for me to be
Speaker 1: the only other guy on that list, Steph Curry's in
Speaker 1: the playoffs, Like, for me to be the only guy
Speaker 1: on that list, I'm very appreciative of that, and it's
Speaker 1: something that I don't take for granted. Steph had twenty seven,
Speaker 1: eight and three. I saw someone say, man, it was
Speaker 1: a pretty quiet twenty seven or quiet game for Steph,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, okay, well that's cool. I mean, it
Speaker 1: was definitely like not some crazy flur. You know, we're
Speaker 1: used to like Steph going on these crazy flurs. And
Speaker 1: it was just like steady the whole game, like pace control,
Speaker 1: getting others involved no turn, not turning the ball over,
Speaker 1: like it was just controlled the whole game, and it
Speaker 1: was just marching you along. And I thought it was
Speaker 1: absolutely great, absolutely incredible, you know. And also didn't want
Speaker 1: him to have to carry so much of the low
Speaker 1: like he did in game four. That is a bit
Speaker 1: taxing on the body, and we definitely didn't want to
Speaker 1: do that. And so it's great, you know, for me
Speaker 1: to come out and have a good game Wigs. Two
Speaker 1: Way Wigs came out with twenty five seven boards, five assists,
Speaker 1: an incredible defense on the other end. That was a
Speaker 1: point in the game where he started picking Bron up
Speaker 1: like way out past half court and someone asked me, like,
Speaker 1: do you like Wiggs picking up the high out like
Speaker 1: why is he pick bron so? And I said, that's
Speaker 1: the competitive juices, Like what do you mean, do you
Speaker 1: like it? Or why is he doing it? Because when
Speaker 1: you're out there on the floor and the juices, like
Speaker 1: you get the competitive juices flowing, you just go with it.
Speaker 1: And so in that moment, he's like, forget that, I'm
Speaker 1: picking him up.
Speaker 2: And like.
Speaker 1: In one of those plays, I was able to get
Speaker 1: the block on ad behind because I just when you
Speaker 1: got a guy that's doing that, that's putting that effort
Speaker 1: out there, regardless of what it is.
Speaker 2: When you're you have.
Speaker 1: To be beyond beyond behind the play ready to react.
Speaker 1: When he's picking up like that fool, he has to
Speaker 1: know somebody got me covered if I get beat, because
Speaker 1: the reality is, hey, you know, we know what a
Speaker 1: what a force, such a force that bron is coming downhill.
Speaker 1: But the reality is there's so much space to give
Speaker 1: someone to run a start for him to pick him
Speaker 1: up that way, like he has to know and you
Speaker 1: have to ensure that he knows if I do that,
Speaker 1: someone has my back and everybody had his back, and
Speaker 1: it was absolutely great. I think people tend to forget.
Speaker 1: That's wigs twelve game in three and a half months,
Speaker 1: so you're starting to see more of the putbacks and
Speaker 1: dunks and the legs coming back and absolutely coming out
Speaker 1: a great time because we need it not only well
Speaker 1: numb first off, to get back control of this series
Speaker 1: and win this series, but also moving forward, we know
Speaker 1: how important Wigs is to everything we do, especially come
Speaker 1: playoff time.
Speaker 2: So that's huge.
Speaker 1: GP two Gary Payton, Man, it's playing incredible basketball plus
Speaker 1: twenty five and twenty seven minutes. That is why you
Speaker 1: trace five second round picks for Gary Payton the second
Speaker 1: to bring him back to help you win a championship
Speaker 1: because you know the impact that he has on the
Speaker 1: game on both sides of the floor. Absolutely amazing competitor
Speaker 1: and you got it honest as we know, his pops
Speaker 1: is one of the greatest competitors and growing up watching that,
Speaker 1: he took some of that and does it in a
Speaker 1: totally different way, right, like, way more toned down than
Speaker 1: his pops, much quieter, It's much nicer in a sense.
Speaker 1: Oh GGP was an asshole at times, talking a bunch
Speaker 1: of cash.
Speaker 2: I loved it.
Speaker 1: You know, one of the guys I have the utmost
Speaker 1: respect for, and so you know, it's good to see
Speaker 1: GP having a series that he's having, especially after not
Speaker 1: playing a bunch early. You know, you make those adjustments
Speaker 1: and you need guys to step up, and he's been
Speaker 1: stepping up. Moses Moody has been stepping up. Moses Moody
Speaker 1: has given us great minutes. Was riding with Moses last night.
Speaker 1: I was dropping him off at home and I said, Mo,
Speaker 1: how crazy is it to you that, like.
Speaker 2: You guarding Lebron James in the playoffs.
Speaker 1: He said, Man, it's crazy, he said, that's my matchup,
Speaker 1: like I'm guarding him.
Speaker 2: He guarded me.
Speaker 1: I said, it's incredible, man, Like a couple of years ago,
Speaker 1: you was in high school, your guard Lebron James, he's
Speaker 1: guarding you in the playoffs. That's incredible. Enjoy those moments.
Speaker 1: Keep doing what you're doing, playing hard the way you're playing,
Speaker 1: controlling what you can control, he's been giving us great minutes.
Speaker 1: Shout out to the young young champion, Moses Moody. Clay
Speaker 1: did not have had another rough shooting night, but his
Speaker 1: imprint was all over the game. Number one, whether he's
Speaker 1: having a rough shooting night, dude, just what Clay does
Speaker 1: for your space and teams aren't going to help off
Speaker 1: him at all and so opens the floor regardless, And
Speaker 1: like I said, I would love to see them give
Speaker 1: him some open looks if they think, oh man, he's
Speaker 1: not shooting, well, we can help off.
Speaker 2: That'd be great.
Speaker 1: His defense, his competitiveness had he had his imprint all
Speaker 1: over the game.
Speaker 2: He was really really good defensively and.
Speaker 1: Got into the paint a couple of times, broke the
Speaker 1: defense down and kicked it out like took eleven shots,
Speaker 1: by the way, wasn't forcing anything, wasn't forcing shots. It
Speaker 1: was absolutely incredible And at some point he's going to
Speaker 1: have a big shooting and we know that and we
Speaker 1: trust and we believe in that. Hopefully it's game six Clay,
Speaker 1: that would be nice, but definitely looking forward to that.
Speaker 2: JP had a much.
Speaker 1: Better game last night, just more aggressive on both sides
Speaker 1: of the ball, and you know, his shot still didn't
Speaker 1: fall at the rate where you're accustomed to it falling out,
Speaker 1: or at the rate that he wanted at. But you
Speaker 1: don't just come out of a slump guns blazing. You
Speaker 1: get it back step by stepping. So seeing him as
Speaker 1: aggressive as he was taking good shots last night, now
Speaker 1: you start to build on that, you start to see
Speaker 1: more shots fall, and I think that's huge. So it's
Speaker 1: great to see him looking more like himself last night,
Speaker 1: and I enjoyed that. I got a chance to see
Speaker 1: the great Matthew McConaughey after the game.
Speaker 2: It's absolutely incredible to meet him.
Speaker 1: Uh with the great Mark Bennioff uh founder of Self,
Speaker 1: CEO of Salesforce. Maybe step down the CEO of Salesforce,
Speaker 1: by the way, I'm not sure. I haven't kept up
Speaker 1: with that news over the last couple of years. I
Speaker 1: know he was stepping down and maybe not. But you know,
Speaker 1: Mark's great. I've had the opportunity to spend some time
Speaker 1: with him a couple of times.
Speaker 2: Absolutely incredible person.
Speaker 1: What he's done here in the city of San Francisco,
Speaker 1: it's incredible. What he's done for business as a whole
Speaker 1: in the world is absolutely amazing. One of the one
Speaker 1: of the perks of playing for the Golden State Warriors
Speaker 1: is like you're around greats like Mark, Bennie Offfen and
Speaker 1: Eddie Q and like the list.
Speaker 2: Goes on and on and on.
Speaker 1: Where where where lucky to be around those types of
Speaker 1: people and learning from them and rubbing elbows like it's
Speaker 1: absolutely incredible. You're talking about some of the best in
Speaker 1: the world at what they do. So I'm always appreciative that.
Speaker 1: Before we are, Jackson wanted to know what the conversation
Speaker 1: was with Zach Zarba about me quiet and down. I
Speaker 1: saw people saying, oh, man, Draymond asked for a tech
Speaker 1: and he didn't get a tech. Well, the reason I
Speaker 1: didn't get a tech is because what Zach was telling
Speaker 1: me he was going to tech me for was for
Speaker 1: talking to the other team, not for talking to him.
Speaker 1: I wasn't having much of a conversation with him. The
Speaker 1: conversation with Zach was about me talking to the other team,
Speaker 1: and so he said, like, Draymond, I'm going to text you.
Speaker 1: I said, Zach, you're gonna have to You're going to
Speaker 1: have to not because me and him was in some
Speaker 1: argument and I told him to text me because I
Speaker 1: was talking to him. So for those of you that's
Speaker 1: out here making it out like, oh, they just wouldn't
Speaker 1: take Draymond. He wouldn't take Draymond because what he told
Speaker 1: me he was teching me for wasn't occurring at the
Speaker 1: time that he said he was gonna text me.
Speaker 2: So what did I do. I continued to talk, but
Speaker 2: I toned it down.
Speaker 1: I didn't make it so obvious that you all could
Speaker 1: tell that I was talking. But I continue. It's a
Speaker 1: part of the game. It's a close out game. And
Speaker 1: you know what Zach said. And Zach, as we all know,
Speaker 1: is one of the best officials in the NBA. He
Speaker 1: said Draymond, I know it's a high emotion game and
Speaker 1: that right there, like that understanding is huge.
Speaker 2: Like so many people don't understand that part of it.
Speaker 1: It's like, oh, man, every game is the same, and
Speaker 1: I always tell you guys, it's so cliche. Every game
Speaker 1: isn't the same, Like the emotions isn't the same for
Speaker 1: every game, and so like just to have a great
Speaker 1: official like Zach Zara to understand that, it's like, yo,
Speaker 1: every game is not the same, Like the emotions in
Speaker 1: this game is extremely high.
Speaker 2: I understand that. That's huge.
Speaker 1: That's huge, absolutely huge, because what it does is it
Speaker 1: allows for a better product for our fans, you know,
Speaker 1: like fans want to see guys going at it, and
Speaker 1: it allows for a better product as opposed to like
Speaker 1: treating it like a regular season game, like oh man,
Speaker 1: guys are talking early motion like nah, it's different.
Speaker 2: It's a close out game.
Speaker 1: It's a playoff game like Backs against the Wall, seasons
Speaker 1: on the line. You can respect guys who understand the
Speaker 1: way Zach does absolutely incredible.
Speaker 2: So that was the conversation.
Speaker 1: For all of you that may have thought I was
Speaker 1: cursing Zach, I wasn't cursing Zach out at all.
Speaker 2: It wasn't the case. He was telling me to shut
Speaker 2: the hell up that what was going on, but not
Speaker 2: to him. And so once the conversation continue with him,
Speaker 2: I'm saying, Zach, you're gonna have to text me that
Speaker 2: was that anyway before we move on, I'd be remiss,
Speaker 2: And I apologize for taking so long to say this.
Speaker 2: Praying for Jamie Fox. Jamie Fox, I've had the honor
Speaker 2: of getting to know him since two Thoy fourteen fifteen.
Speaker 2: One of the best human beings you'll meet absolutely incredible person.
Speaker 2: There hasn't been much info release. I've heard a few things.
Speaker 1: I'm not going to go into them because that's not
Speaker 1: my business, that's not my place. But I just hope
Speaker 1: some of the info that's come out lately isn't true.
Speaker 1: Jamie Fox is a staple and the culture. He's a
Speaker 1: staple in the community. He's a staple in Hollywood and
Speaker 1: one of the best ever, one of the most talented
Speaker 1: human beings on planet Earth, one of the hardest working
Speaker 1: people on planet Earth. Jamie Fox is an incredible comedian,
Speaker 1: He's an incredible singer, he's an incredible actor, and quite frankly,
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm leaving something off the list.
Speaker 2: I mean, you're talking about.
Speaker 1: A guy that's great at like all of those things,
Speaker 1: Like it's so rare impersonating people. His performance in Ray
Speaker 1: was absolutely insane, Like was nuts, like he played Ray
Speaker 1: Charles like I couldn't believe it. Such a pillar and
Speaker 1: everything we have gone and the progress that we've made
Speaker 1: in Hollywood as African Americans. I just hope and pray
Speaker 1: that he's okay, that he stays strong and fights and
Speaker 1: get through what he's going through. Praying for his family,
Speaker 1: sending my love and well wishes because to all of us,
Speaker 1: he's like the most talented person in the world. He's
Speaker 1: absolutely amazing. Like we've had the we've had the honor
Speaker 1: and pleasure of watching him from all these years. Jamie
Speaker 1: Fox Show is one of my favorite shows. That's what
Speaker 1: he is to us, right like, but he's a dad,
Speaker 1: it's a friend, like a son like.
Speaker 2: To his family, and.
Speaker 1: Like every day they're living with that void of him
Speaker 1: being in the hospital, him not being the Jamie that
Speaker 1: he's been, the rock that he's been for them for
Speaker 1: so long, and so I'm praying for them, praying for
Speaker 1: him and wishing him well. Like I said, I would
Speaker 1: be remiss if I didn't say that again or now,
Speaker 1: and I do apologize for not saying it for so long.
Speaker 1: It's just such little information. Didn't know much, so didn't
Speaker 1: want to, you know, just start speaking and not knowing
Speaker 1: what's going on. And so I still don't know a ton.
Speaker 1: Like I said, I've heard some things, but it's not
Speaker 1: my place to share those. But prayers up for his family,
Speaker 1: prayers up for Jamie, wishing him and hoping and praying
Speaker 1: for speedy recovery.
Speaker 2: And getting back to basketball.
Speaker 1: The Knicks extends the series with a one twelve, one
Speaker 1: oh three win over the Heat. Jalen Brunson played forty
Speaker 1: eight minutes at thirty eight, seven and nine. I must say,
Speaker 1: I'm very surprised that the Miami Heat has not gone
Speaker 1: to Jimmy Butler on Jaylen Brunson, Gay Gay Vincent is
Speaker 1: doing a incredible job of competing. He just don't have
Speaker 1: the size. He doesn't have the size. And I personally
Speaker 1: think like Jalen is everything for them, like he makes
Speaker 1: the team go, like he's getting him into their sets,
Speaker 1: He's getting his stuff. Julius Randall had a much better
Speaker 1: game last night after starting one to seven, finished with
Speaker 1: twenty four. But Jalen's the engine, and you have a
Speaker 1: guy in Jimmy Butler who's capable of guarding him. I'm
Speaker 1: shocked the Miami he hasn't gone to that. Maybe that's
Speaker 1: a game six adjustment, we'll see, but Miami's headed back
Speaker 1: home in Game six with an opportunity to close. I
Speaker 1: think it's very dangerous that they allowed Julius Randall to
Speaker 1: get going. You definitely wanted to keep him on ice,
Speaker 1: keep his confidence low. They allowed him to get going
Speaker 1: makes game six a lot tougher. Like I said, though,
Speaker 1: the one thing I think can help with game six
Speaker 1: is if they put Jimmy Butler on Jalen Brunston. Looking
Speaker 1: to see if they'll make that adjustment. But I watched
Speaker 1: that game late last night, and you had Duncan Robinson
Speaker 1: with a three on.
Speaker 2: The wing, down one oh five to one on one.
Speaker 1: He hits that three, makes it a one point game,
Speaker 1: could change everything. In turn, he misses it. They go down.
Speaker 1: Jimmy steps up off Mitchell Robinson's body on the drive,
Speaker 1: they drop it off, they get a dunk.
Speaker 2: They go up six fast forward.
Speaker 1: Duncan Robinson had another three from the top of the key,
Speaker 1: missed it again. Jimmy had two free throws down three,
Speaker 1: missed the first one. I said all that to say
Speaker 1: they had every opportunity to win that game.
Speaker 2: They let one get away. Gotta go make it right
Speaker 2: in game six.
Speaker 1: You do not want to return the massive square garden
Speaker 1: in game seven with them Knicks.
Speaker 2: Fans, so they gotta go get it done.
Speaker 1: They let it Golden Opper Twnity slip away last night,
Speaker 1: so be looking to see how they bounced back. In
Speaker 1: other news, the seventy six Ers dominated the Celtics. In
Speaker 1: Game five, Joel had thirty three and seven boards.
Speaker 2: I said, after.
Speaker 1: Game four, we expect Boston to go home and respond,
Speaker 1: but Joel gonna have something to say about that, and
Speaker 1: boy did he.
Speaker 2: What I thought was impressive about that game. I watched
Speaker 2: the entire game.
Speaker 1: Tyrese, Maxi, Tobias Harris, James Harden, Joe l and b
Speaker 1: All God had good nights. And then PJ. Tucker did
Speaker 1: what PJ Tucker does. They got a lot from those
Speaker 1: guys on them. They pretty much controlled the entire game
Speaker 1: from start to finish.
Speaker 2: And I didn't like what I saw from Boston. I started.
Speaker 1: I've seen some finger pointing, just as your thought, God,
Speaker 1: slumping their shoulders and dropping their heads. I didn't love
Speaker 1: what I saw. And now you're on the ropes, going
Speaker 1: on the road for Game six in Philly. It's tough.
Speaker 1: Boston's in a tough, tough spot.
Speaker 2: Can they go in?
Speaker 1: Of course they can go in. Of course they can.
Speaker 1: In order to go in, though they're gonna like, yes,
Speaker 1: Jalen Brown has to play great. Yes, Jason Tatum has
Speaker 1: to play great. Marcus Maart and all that. But They're
Speaker 1: going to need a much better Robert Williams. Robert Williams,
Speaker 1: he just hasn't looked the same to me in this series,
Speaker 1: and he's such a force. So they're going to need
Speaker 1: a much better Robert Williams in this Game six, and
Speaker 1: if there's a game seven, if they're going to take
Speaker 1: this series, can't be all Al Horford. He didn't shoot
Speaker 1: as well last game, So we'll see how it turns out.
Speaker 1: I think Philly goes home and close it. I definitely
Speaker 1: think they go home and close it. You cannot let
Speaker 1: this opportunity to slip away. You win and deal what
Speaker 1: you had to do. In Game five, I got Philly
Speaker 1: going home and close it. And lastly we got the
Speaker 1: Nuggets versus the Sons. Nuggets took a three to two lead.
Speaker 1: Joker had twenty nine, thirteen and twelve. Bruce Brown has
Speaker 1: been the key to the series twenty five points off
Speaker 1: the bench. As great as the twenty five points is,
Speaker 1: his defense on Kevin Durant has been amazing. Like he
Speaker 1: is competing, He's getting underneath k He's making him uncomfortable.
Speaker 1: Bruce Brown was one of the best offseason additions to
Speaker 1: any team.
Speaker 2: Him KSEP.
Speaker 1: They've really helped take that Denver team to another level
Speaker 1: and for him to have the game that he had
Speaker 1: in Game six. He's also guarded books, He's guarding KD
Speaker 1: something he's competing.
Speaker 2: Man, he letting you hear about it. I love it.
Speaker 2: I love what Bruce Brown is doing.
Speaker 1: But in order to close this series out, there going
Speaker 1: to need a good Jamal Murray in order to close
Speaker 1: this series out.
Speaker 2: Do they close it out in six? I don't think so.
Speaker 2: I think this thing goes seven. They're obviously more than
Speaker 2: capable of closing it out, but I think this thing
Speaker 2: goes seven. D book finally had an off night, which
Speaker 2: none of us thought was possible. Eight for nineteen from
Speaker 2: the field. By the way we're talking about he had
Speaker 2: an off night. That's not an awful night, but just
Speaker 2: the standard that he set. That is an off night
Speaker 2: for Devin Booker right now.
Speaker 1: And you know, I think one of the most impressive
Speaker 1: things about what d book is doing been doing this.
Speaker 1: It's still been all tough shots. Like at one point
Speaker 1: I think he was like thirty two or thirty three
Speaker 1: for forty tough twos, Like they're not easy shots, they're
Speaker 1: tough floaters. They're over to defenders, like even his threes
Speaker 1: have been tough, but he finally had a tougher night.
Speaker 1: They're gonna need a great Devin Booker and the great
Speaker 1: Kevin Durant. They're gonna need a Landry Shammitt from game four.
Speaker 1: In game six, her Aiden's a little banged up. He
Speaker 1: hasn't given them much, but I'm sure you still need
Speaker 1: his presence and a big body versus Joker. So we'll
Speaker 1: see what happens there with Phoenix. I saw Joker and
Speaker 1: matt Ishbia make up. I must say I thought the
Speaker 1: little ball toss was a slight like here, motherfucker, take this.
Speaker 2: I thought that's what I thought of the ball toss.
Speaker 2: That's just me. I could be a little messy.
Speaker 1: I don't know, but that's what I took away from
Speaker 1: the little ball toss, like here you want the ball?
Speaker 2: Here going man, It's all cool, No, but it was
Speaker 2: good to see.
Speaker 1: Also, I appreciated matt Ishbia for coming out after the
Speaker 1: game and saying, listen, man, we don't want to see
Speaker 1: nobody suspended.
Speaker 2: We trying to play this game.
Speaker 1: I also respect the fact that he flopped and tried
Speaker 1: to get Joker thrown out the game, like both on
Speaker 1: great on both fronts, like come on, man, let's stop
Speaker 1: trying to get games. I do not respect when guys
Speaker 1: go ask for a guy to get suspended or like,
Speaker 1: oh man, we'll see what the league does, like stop it,
Speaker 1: stop it. One thing we all know is that the
Speaker 1: league listens to everything when it comes to suspensions and
Speaker 1: finds they listen to those things. And as a competitor,
Speaker 1: do you really want a guy suspended? We watched that
Speaker 1: change of Sacramento King Siri, care for what you ask for.
Speaker 1: But I respected Matt Spartan dog style come out like
Speaker 1: we ain't begging for nobody to get suspended on the
Speaker 1: team at full strength. So shout out to Matt ishb
Speaker 1: be on that that was absolutely incredible.
Speaker 2: Happy the league didn't suspend Joker.
Speaker 1: I saw Dame Dollars tweet like, yeah, I don't think
Speaker 1: he should be suspended, but if that was Draymond, and boy,
Speaker 1: all I could do is laugh, because well we do
Speaker 1: know that's neither here north there. Let's get into these
Speaker 1: NBA awards. Yours truly made second Team All Defense. It's
Speaker 1: like a backhanded compliment, like a backhanded slap in the face, like, hey, man,
Speaker 1: you one of the best defenders. Hey you're second team, Like,
Speaker 1: come on, man, I find it to be funny in sense,
Speaker 1: like I definitely think I had a first team All
Speaker 1: Defense type of year. Now you take into account we
Speaker 1: didn't win as many games, but like the are the
Speaker 1: teams win that many more games? Or is it because
Speaker 1: we had an off year to our standards? Interesting and
Speaker 1: saying that. Congratulations to all the guys that did make
Speaker 1: first team, Congratulations to all the guys that did make
Speaker 1: second team. I think first team was Alex Caruso, Drew Holliday,
Speaker 1: Jaron Jackson, Junior brook Lopez And don't you say this Jackson,
Speaker 1: I know who it is. Brook Lopez and Evan Mobley
Speaker 1: was first team. Second team was yours? Truly, Damn I
Speaker 1: got to buy you, Dylan Brooks. I need help with
Speaker 1: these last two Jackson.
Speaker 2: Two guards Conference two.
Speaker 1: Guards, Eastern Conference, Eastern Conference two guards. Man, this is
Speaker 1: a tough one, but it'll come to me. Give me
Speaker 1: one second.
Speaker 2: Uh, Derek White, what was second team All Defense? And
Speaker 2: the last one he's a big, big two. It wasn't
Speaker 2: Jimmy Butler, was it? No Ah? Who is it. I
Speaker 2: know this. Let me see.
Speaker 1: So how I come up with these things is like
Speaker 1: I started going down the list of team. It's nobody
Speaker 1: on the New York Knicks. It's nobody on the Brooklyn Nets.
Speaker 2: Although I was shocked that Mike kel Bridges did not
Speaker 2: make All Defense team, wasn't anybody on the Brooklyn Nets?
Speaker 1: Not Indiana, not Detroit. Soon you start going on the list,
Speaker 1: not Charlotte, not Washington, not Orlando, correct, not Atlanta?
Speaker 2: Correct? More Eastern Conference teams. Not Indiana or was it Indiana? Nope, No,
Speaker 2: not Indiana.
Speaker 1: I'm missing a couple of years in Toronto O g
Speaker 1: Anoobi that is the last one on second team All Defense?
Speaker 1: First time or congratulations, og, congratulations all the first times.
Speaker 1: I think Caruso was the first time, or ever Mobley
Speaker 1: was a first timer. Derek White was a first timer.
Speaker 1: So congrats to those guys. Absolutely incredible honor. I know
Speaker 1: I just said as a backhand and slapping the face,
Speaker 1: and quite frankly, I feel like that to myself.
Speaker 2: But don't get it twisted.
Speaker 1: I am always thankful, thankful to all the voters for
Speaker 1: acknowledging me in defense. You know, I don't take it
Speaker 1: for granted, that's eight times for me in eleven years,
Speaker 1: the three being my first two years I didn't play
Speaker 1: a ton and then twenty twenty we stunk in won
Speaker 1: fifteen games.
Speaker 2: Those were the three I didn't make.
Speaker 1: So I'm always thankful and honored to be acknowledged, especially
Speaker 1: like I said, when it comes to all defensive teams
Speaker 1: is something I take very seriously. And next year I'm
Speaker 1: looking forward to getting my first team stamped back so
Speaker 1: I can walk around like Pat Bev with my one
Speaker 1: finger up saying first team.
Speaker 2: The originator Tony Allen.
Speaker 1: By the way, no disrespect to the great one of
Speaker 1: the Goat defenders, Tony Allen. As you all know, I
Speaker 1: got a bunch of respect for him. And before we
Speaker 1: get out of here, lastly, all NBA first team, let's
Speaker 1: talk about this uber one. Jimmy Butler, Steph Curry, Janni's
Speaker 1: Ante de compo, Lebron James, and Dame Dalla would not
Speaker 1: have made.
Speaker 2: It under this new CBA rule. And so now you
Speaker 2: take those guys off. Dude, we really think all five
Speaker 2: of those guys should not make all NBA.
Speaker 1: That's what you all were complaining about. That's what you
Speaker 1: all were begging for that's what you're up against. Those
Speaker 1: five guys would not have made All NBA once this
Speaker 1: new CBA starts. That's an interesting one, and I'm not
Speaker 1: sure that that's the right thing. As I said before,
Speaker 1: I don't love it. You're gonna get guys on there
Speaker 1: that don't deserve it, and quite frankly, I just think
Speaker 1: that's whack. Congratulations Shay Gilges, Alexander first Team All NBA,
Speaker 1: first time, JT back to back first team All NBA's
Speaker 1: Lucas probably this is probably his fourth straight first team
Speaker 1: All NBA or something like that.
Speaker 2: Janni's and l and B rounds out First.
Speaker 1: Team All NBA, Second Team All NBA, Steph Donovan, Mitchell,
Speaker 1: Jayleen Brown, Jimmy Butler, Nicola Jokic, Jaylen Brown.
Speaker 2: Really big time for Jalen Brown.
Speaker 1: Sucks for you, Jackson and Boston fans because that puts
Speaker 1: Jalen Brown up for I think a two hundred and
Speaker 1: fifty million dollar extension.
Speaker 2: I think, which is absolutely insane. Well, I know that's nuts.
Speaker 2: Congratulations to Jalen Brown.
Speaker 1: I love nothing more than seeing guys get paid in
Speaker 1: this league, So congratulations to him.
Speaker 2: He said he was going out there to get it.
Speaker 1: I also respect a guy who's not afraid to speak
Speaker 1: on his goal and then go take it.
Speaker 2: He did that, he earned it.
Speaker 1: Now y'all gonna have five hundred million dollars tied up
Speaker 1: between two players. I absolutely love it and they're absolutely
Speaker 1: deserving of it. And Boston has to do it. You
Speaker 1: can't those guys want, So what are you gonna do?
Speaker 1: It is what it is. That's an interesting one, but
Speaker 1: it's a great one. Congratulations to those guys in third team,
Speaker 1: Dame Dalla, Daron Fox, Julius Randall, Lebron, James and Sabonis.
Speaker 1: Some omissions here, Uh, John Morett misses out on a
Speaker 1: Supermax unbelievable. I also saw Donovan Mitchell say foh about
Speaker 1: being on second team, So who should you have been
Speaker 1: on first team over Donovan?
Speaker 2: We would love to know. I would love to know.
Speaker 2: I just want to know the opinion.
Speaker 1: But John Morant misses out on the supermax deal, and
Speaker 1: I must say this is.
Speaker 2: All due to what he had going on off the court.
Speaker 1: He was eleventh in the NBA, scoring fifth and assists
Speaker 1: team was second in the West. All due to what
Speaker 1: he had going on off the court, which absolutely sucks
Speaker 1: because his play on the court's.
Speaker 2: All NBA level play.
Speaker 1: I think you get a very motivated job Morant coming
Speaker 1: back next year, feeling snub feeling slighted, feeling like the
Speaker 1: underdog again.
Speaker 2: I'll look out for.
Speaker 1: Joh Bam out of Bay. You was another guy that
Speaker 1: was not on there. Now you got Jimmy Butler on
Speaker 1: the second team. They were an eight seed or seven seed.
Speaker 1: But now, ac can you can you put Bam on
Speaker 1: there and they're that low of a seed. You can
Speaker 1: have two guys on all NBA team. That's tough. So
Speaker 1: I understand that one. There were a few more snubs,
Speaker 1: but as we know, it's fifteen spots, like you can
Speaker 1: only have d. Book wasn't on there, KD wasn't on there.
Speaker 1: You can only have fifteen guys. Sucks. That's the reality.
Speaker 1: That's also a rap from this episode of The Draymond
Speaker 1: Green Show. Talked to y'all after Game six the next day,
Speaker 1: Peace
