1
00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:08,159
Speaker 1: When I'm going to events this summer, I think I

2
00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:10,360
Speaker 1: want to start bringing a case of diet coke.

3
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:11,920
Speaker 2: I can't diet coke.

4
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 1: I can't die. Coke makes me feel so good inside,

5
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:19,480
Speaker 1: and I'm tired of hiding it. I'm tired of people

6
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:25,639
Speaker 1: telling me, as the Thames one, the I need to

7
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:28,040
Speaker 1: be pretty, then do it. I need to feel good.

8
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 2: I mean yeah, they say it all starts.

9
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:31,319
Speaker 1: You need to feel good on the inside. And you

10
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 1: know what, it makes me feel good on the inside.

11
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:43,839
Speaker 1: I can't die coke. Good morning, sweel and welcome to

Speaker 1: today's pod, we're gonna play a little fill in the blank.

23
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 1: It's been a while since we've filled in some blanks.

24
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 1: And tk's got tweet of the night. But the Western

25
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 1: Conference Finals, we got one more game. At least. Karl

26
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 1: Anthony Towns found his shot and the Wolves finally closed

27
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:34,959
Speaker 1: a game out. Cat scored twenty of his twenty five

28
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:38,040
Speaker 1: points in the second half and Ant finished just one

29
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 1: assist shy of a triple double as the Wolves held

30
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:44,759
Speaker 1: off the Mavericks one oh five one. They avoid the sweep.

31
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 1: Game five is Thursday night, and they really had their

32
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 1: superstars tasks in Ant and Kat outplay Luca and Kyrie

33
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 1: a majority of the game and really you know, in

34
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 1: the clutch for sure.

35
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 3: First half was fun though, Oh tray bo, I would say,

36
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 3: Rudy Gobert out there dancing the minuet out there, I

37
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 3: thought in the first quarter, Anthony Edwards, the post up,

38
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 3: the threes looking great. They obviously needed somebody to help

39
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:14,079
Speaker 3: them out. I don't know if it's no Asrit, if

40
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 3: it's my commin, but it was Cat, because first half

41
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:20,080
Speaker 3: was quiet five points and then going into U into

42
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 3: the halftime, I guess somebody said something first possession, you're

43
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:26,080
Speaker 3: gonna do something, man. First possession he drove was a

44
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 3: big drive, another drive, and then he got his fourth foul,

45
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,360
Speaker 3: and Chris Finch had to decide we're going to keep

46
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:34,080
Speaker 3: this guy in. Yes they did, and he hit another

47
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 3: floater and a three and then a fifth foul where

48
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 3: he just banged PJ. Washington's face him. He really hit him.

49
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:43,800
Speaker 3: How do they challenge they challenged that.

50
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 2: I thought they just went and rebewed it because he

51
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 2: got hit.

52
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:49,679
Speaker 3: Oh for the flagrant part, Yeah, my mistake. I just

53
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 3: think everything's a challenge. It everything time review. Uh. And

54
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 3: then in the fourth quarter he played with five foul,

55
00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 3: so did Rudy Gobert, and he hit back to back.

56
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 3: They're up five with five minutes left. Still we're all

57
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:05,079
Speaker 3: wondering will they finish because this happened in Game two

58
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 3: where they were up this many points, almost exactly to

59
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 3: the minute. But he comes out after Luca tried to respond.

60
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 3: He tried to respond right after that, up five with

61
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 3: five minutes left, Luca went bang bang, bang, bang bang.

62
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 3: A real rattler that didn't go down kat another three.

63
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 3: Kyrie Irving just wasn't himself at the end. He just

64
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,799
Speaker 3: got into the lane but decided I'm going to pass

65
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 3: it and sometimes it works sometimes that he turned it over.

66
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,359
Speaker 3: Those two guys just weren't themselves in the closing minutes

67
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 3: for the first time in this series. That just changed.

68
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 3: While kat was himself another three and then Anthony Edwards

69
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 3: was great at some times sometimes he wasn't, but he

70
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 3: just kept going. He kept going to steel at PJ. Washington,

71
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 3: he did a mean turnaround with a pivot in the

72
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 3: lane and then a two step. He had the ball

73
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 3: in his two step and he just finished it off

74
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 3: while Kyrie turned it over Luca miss The Wolves just

75
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 3: did it at the end there, Karl Anthony Towns ten

76
00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 3: points in the third, Qord ten points in the fourth quarter,

77
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 3: Carl Rudy and Anthony Edwards had twenty combined in the

78
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 3: fourth there. So ye, they did it. They did it.

79
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 3: It just felt like one of those games that they

80
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 3: got there and for the first time in four games

81
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 3: they were the closers.

82
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, Carl Anthony Towns came into that game last night

83
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:20,040
Speaker 1: shooting twenty eight percent and last night game four nine

84
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:21,919
Speaker 1: to thirteen and the four or five from deep and

85
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 1: a lot of them down the stretch, the one to

86
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 1: put them in the lead, and then another one right

87
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 1: after that, and then another three. Like you said, with

88
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,600
Speaker 1: like three minutes to go, hit shots and you got

89
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 1: a chance here. And then they got stops on the

90
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 1: other end as well. And part of that was, Yeah,

91
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 1: the stars for Dallas they were missing in this game.

92
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 1: It sounds so simple, but it really has been in

93
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 1: this series, in a pretty close series. That is three

94
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:45,839
Speaker 1: one still Dallas. The games were the star players for

95
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 1: Dallas or the star players played their best down the stretch.

96
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 1: They've won the game four games in a row.

97
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 2: Now, Barkley's right, the stars have to be stars. And

98
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 2: this is the first time that Cat and Ant outplayed

99
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 2: Luca and Kyrie. I I'm not mistaken. In the first

100
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,720
Speaker 2: three games, Luca and Kyrie finished one to two in

101
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 2: scoring in every one of those games except for Game two,

102
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,479
Speaker 2: when Towns had twenty one and Kyrie had twenty. Like

103
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 2: this was has been a blowout for Luca and Kyrie

104
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 2: except for this game. Fifty four points on fifty three

105
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:16,039
Speaker 2: percent shooting for the Timberwolves Stars, forty four points on

106
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:19,279
Speaker 2: thirty three percent shooting for the Stars on the Mavericks.

107
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 2: And that's the game right there. I loved Kat's approach

108
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 2: in the second half. Wasn't just chucking threes, got a

109
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 2: bunch of layups, finally hit the rip through on the

110
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:28,920
Speaker 2: for the floater down on the baseline, and then he

111
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 2: started shooting three. Saw the mall actually go in a

112
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 2: few times before getting into some pretty tough shots like

113
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 2: the no, no, no Yes shot. That was a crazy one.

114
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:36,919
Speaker 1: PJ.

115
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:38,600
Speaker 2: Washington was all over him. He just shot over the

116
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:40,280
Speaker 2: top of him because he was a seven foot tall dude,

117
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 2: and I thought was smart in this game. He was

118
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 2: letting the game come to him, picking his spots and

119
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,479
Speaker 2: not really forcing things. He hit five non restricted area

120
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 2: two pointers in this game. I said, he's got to

121
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:52,600
Speaker 2: embrace the mid range. In the previous three games he'd

122
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 2: hit six total. You mentioned the step through in the lane.

123
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,239
Speaker 2: He also had the silencer when he hit a twenty

124
00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,160
Speaker 2: footer off of the pick and roll with about thirty

125
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 2: eight seconds left put Minnesota five. Though they did their

126
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,279
Speaker 2: best to at least keep Dallas in the game. After that,

127
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 2: some crazy stuff was happening. I just thought he was

128
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 2: very patient. He took what the defense gave him. He

129
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:12,480
Speaker 2: had nine assists. He did have six turnovers. Those came

130
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:14,599
Speaker 2: when he was getting too far into the lane, but

131
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:17,280
Speaker 2: he played really smart and then Minnesota turned in their

132
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 2: first real defensive performance of this series. Dallas came in

133
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:23,599
Speaker 2: averaging one hundred and twenty offensive rating that would have

134
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:25,679
Speaker 2: been the best in the playoffs. They had one hundred

135
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,839
Speaker 2: and nine offensive rating in Game four. That's Hornet's mode.

136
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 2: Part of it is that Jade McDaniels was guarding Kyrie

137
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:33,720
Speaker 2: threw him off with the length because Kyrie was out

138
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:35,799
Speaker 2: of it all game. He had a really weird turnover

139
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,720
Speaker 2: in the fourth quarter. His lefties weren't dropping as regularly.

140
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 2: Shots that he makes did not go in Anthony Edwards,

141
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 2: Kyle Anderson. They were sticking Luca. They made him work.

142
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 2: One of the great things about Luka Doncicic is if

143
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 2: you look at his hair, you can tell how hard

144
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 2: he has had to play during a game. One of

145
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 2: the sweatiest guys in the league. A lot of volume

146
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 2: on the hair, So if his bangs are still sticking

147
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 2: up in the fourth quarter, you lost. But his bangs

148
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:02,039
Speaker 2: were smashed down into his face. He was drenched in sweat.

149
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:05,359
Speaker 2: He really had to work, and the biggest thing in

150
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,359
Speaker 2: the fourth quarter. The Timberwolves didn't let Luca and Kyrie

151
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:10,559
Speaker 2: play one on one anytime they would run a screen

152
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 2: and roll. It seemed like there would be a second

153
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 2: when they could play one on one and it would

154
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 2: be Conley jetnover. It would be McDaniel's jettnover. To get

155
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 2: the ball out of their hands, have somebody else take

156
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 2: the shot. It's a maker miss league and Dallas went

157
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 2: three for twelve from three in the fourth quarter, and

158
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 2: one of those was the Luca one with you like

159
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 2: five seconds left or something like that. They didn't get

160
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 2: the big clutch three from PJ. Washington, they didn't get

161
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 2: one from Derek Jones Junior. When it mattered, everything that

162
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 2: needed to go right for the Timberwolves, it flipped in

163
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 2: this game.

164
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 1: Yeah. I was impressed with their first quarter from the Wolves,

165
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 1: especially Anthony Edwards getting to the free throw line I

166
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 1: thought was big. I think he had eight free throw

167
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 1: attempts in the first quarter alone. He missed a couple

168
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 1: of them, but still putting pressure on them. Kat right

169
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 1: away he scored like eighty seconds in the game. It

170
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 1: was a drive, just like he did to start the

171
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 1: second half. And then they had great ball pressure too,

172
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,240
Speaker 1: you know, Conley and that team they were locked in

173
00:07:58,240 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 1: to begin they were up twenty seven to twenty. It

174
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 1: was a great and then I was just really impressed

175
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 1: with Kat and Aunt. They didn't let go of the

176
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 1: rope there in the third quarter when I thought, uh oh,

177
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 1: suddenly like Hardy was exploding for the Mavericks. They had

178
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 1: a couple back to back thories. It was like, oh man,

179
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 1: this might be it, and they just sort of refused

180
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,679
Speaker 1: to again let go of it. They just stuck around

181
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 1: and they they led that little ato run themselves to

182
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 1: you know, maintain that, maintain the game really in a

183
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 1: chance to extend the series. So those two guys, yeah,

184
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 1: really impressive. And I'm glad you brought up Kyle Anderson.

185
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 1: There was parts there on those Karl Anthony Town's threes

186
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 1: where he's directing traffic. He's like, Aunt, no, no, it's hey,

187
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:37,200
Speaker 1: look he's gonna be open behind me. I'm gonna set

188
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 1: the screen over here. He's like pointing. And he also

189
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:41,839
Speaker 1: helped Cat hit the one before that too with the

190
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:44,439
Speaker 1: pick and stuff like that. And he played great on Luca.

191
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:46,840
Speaker 1: I mean, you need the size on a guy like

192
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,559
Speaker 1: Luca to make it a little more difficult, so him

193
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:52,080
Speaker 1: and Aunt who can play a little more physical than

194
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,320
Speaker 1: maybe in McDaniels can because it gives up so much weight.

195
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:55,560
Speaker 1: That worked out in game four.

196
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe it's just a bonus that you're slow on

197
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:02,440
Speaker 3: the defensive sidelom because you're sort of match Luca. You

198
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 3: don't give him a space for a second, I like

199
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 3: Jason McDaniels does. But Luca just didn't bang home a

200
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:11,079
Speaker 3: couple of shots late. I mean, this really came down

201
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:14,320
Speaker 3: to those those shots that as I said, the rattler

202
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:17,440
Speaker 3: and another shot that Luca missed from three where him

203
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:20,439
Speaker 3: and Kyrie just weren't excellent at the end. And then

204
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 3: Anthony Edwards said after the game, I just didn't want

205
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 3: to get swept and never been swept, never been swept

206
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:29,719
Speaker 3: in my in my career here. So hopefully that extends

207
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 3: to game five for them, And it wasn't just a

208
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,320
Speaker 3: one game thing. But they obviously had their best players

209
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:39,440
Speaker 3: feeling good. When when all three of those guys in

210
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 3: Gobarkat and himself felt good and kept it going, Yeah,

211
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 3: they were. They were bond like a team, and they

212
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 3: had the extensions of obviously Kyle Anderson now whed had

213
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:52,080
Speaker 3: a beautiful when when Anthony or when Karl Antony Towns

214
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 3: went to the bench with this fifth foul, Reid came in, blasted,

215
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,959
Speaker 3: busted quickly to the hoop. That Nimble moved past Gafford

216
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 3: was awesome. So everybody was contributing. It is what I'm

217
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:05,720
Speaker 3: getting at, Niki, Alexander Walker finally hitting two threes. He

218
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 3: only hit one three in the first three games of

219
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 3: this series. Yeah, everybody was there. Everybody was there on

220
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:10,560
Speaker 3: this night.

221
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 1: Yes, Kyrie Irving's streak of playoff closeout games comes to

222
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 1: an end. He was fourteen to zero heading into the

223
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 1: Western Conference Finals. Here, for those that don't know what

224
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 1: I'm talking about, anytime Kyrie's team had earned a third

225
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 1: victory in a seven game series, they had won that

226
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 1: fourth game immediately afterward to clinch. But that streak is

227
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:31,960
Speaker 1: over here, of course. And he struggled like a guy said,

228
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:33,560
Speaker 1: six of eighteen. And that was a nice switch up

229
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 1: there from Finch at least in terms of the major

230
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:39,320
Speaker 1: assignments to put McDaniel's. Maybe the length got to Kyrie

231
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 1: a little bit, and like we said, the size maybe

232
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,840
Speaker 1: on Luca and just Kyrie just played a sloppy game too,

233
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 1: like he was just he was stepping at a bounds

234
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 1: and he was throwing the ball like low for his

235
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 1: guys that resulted in a couple turnovers. This was just

236
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:55,679
Speaker 1: his worst game of this series, and in the end

237
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 1: it was enough for Minnesota to give his Game five.

238
00:10:57,840 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 1: Do you think there's any chance they can do the

239
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:02,320
Speaker 1: imp possible here? We know the stat no team's ever

240
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 1: come back down three to zero one hundred and fifty

241
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 1: five and oh when you take a three to zero

242
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 1: lead something like that. We saw the Celtics force a

243
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 1: game seven. They're going home at least they'll have games

244
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:15,200
Speaker 1: five and potentially games at home. Could this be the

245
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:17,680
Speaker 1: team to become the first to ever do it? Or

246
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,199
Speaker 1: just the position Dallas had them in, they'll wrap this

247
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 1: up in five, six or seven?

248
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 3: What do you think?

249
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:23,080
Speaker 2: I mean, it's a no for me, Doug. I don't

250
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 2: think they're gonna win it in seven. I actually think

251
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:27,440
Speaker 2: the Mavericks will probably win Game five. I actually didn't

252
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 2: like that Anthony Edwards interview on the court where he's like,

253
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 2: I just didn't want to get swept. Yeah, that's just

254
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:35,719
Speaker 2: one game, man, right, and Minnesota three and four at

255
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:37,680
Speaker 2: home in the playoffs. It's not like they have a

256
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:39,839
Speaker 2: great home warn advantage where they were winning every single

257
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 2: game out there. I do think the curve ball of

258
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:47,559
Speaker 2: switching up the defensive matchups with McDaniel's going on Kyrie

259
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 2: and going on Luca, that works really well for one game.

260
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 2: But I also felt like Luca and Kyrie were getting

261
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 2: shots that they made the first three games. Sometimes you

262
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:59,200
Speaker 2: just miss, so I assume they will be completely locked in.

263
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:01,839
Speaker 2: Like I didn't really buy the Mavericks excuses after the

264
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 2: game where they're like, we didn't come out with energy.

265
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 2: I don't really think that was the case. I thought

266
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 2: they played hard enough. They played the same way they've

267
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 2: played the previous three games in the series. The shooting

268
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 2: just went Minnesota's way. So I would probably take Dallas

269
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 2: in five. But it definitely gives Minnesota some hope getting

270
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 2: a game back home. Now it's like, oh, it's the

271
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:21,959
Speaker 2: pressure on the Mavericks. No, the pressure's still on Minnesota.

272
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,840
Speaker 2: You're a one loss away from being eliminated here, so

273
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 2: we'll see how they respond.

274
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think we all, myself included, want to make

275
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 3: anything that they say into a story. And Anthony Edward

276
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 3: saying I've never been swept in my career. Does that

277
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 3: boat it well for Minnesota? No, but doesn't mean anything

278
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:44,080
Speaker 3: for Minnesota. No, I don't think it really means anything.

279
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 3: And I think we're all sort of making a little

280
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,199
Speaker 3: bit more of the Jane McDaniel's defense on Kyrie. Kyrie

281
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:51,200
Speaker 3: was shooting in front of everybody, and he just had

282
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:53,200
Speaker 3: a bad game. And we got to the same point

283
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 3: in the fourth quarter that we got into earlier in

284
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 3: this series, where Minnesota was up late. Two guys executed

285
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:02,079
Speaker 3: Kyrie and Luca. They just weren't in an incredible flow

286
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:04,679
Speaker 3: in this one, as I said, the Rattlers. Things were

287
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:06,440
Speaker 3: just not happening late in this game. So No, I

288
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:09,560
Speaker 3: don't think that I doubt that Minnesota can turn it

289
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:11,839
Speaker 3: around for four games. That's just that's a lot of

290
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:12,560
Speaker 3: basketball games.

291
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:15,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I thought we saw the difference of the

292
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:19,439
Speaker 1: Mavericks missing Derek Lively the second in this game. Yeah,

293
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 1: you know, you had Powell in there that did not

294
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 1: go well. He had a dumb turnover right away where

295
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:25,719
Speaker 1: he sort of like didn't know what to do with

296
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 1: the ball. Then you even saw the next possession. The

297
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 1: limitations of having Powell and not Lively out there where

298
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 1: it was like, if it was Lively, it was probably

299
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 1: a lob type sort of threat that Luca could throw.

300
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 1: But you know Powell, they're not concerned as much of that,

301
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 1: so they could just clog it up and all that. So, yeah,

302
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 1: we'll see if Lively the second is good to go

303
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:45,840
Speaker 1: in game five in Minnesota on Thursday night. I'm not

304
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 1: sure that's confirmed. He's there on the bench though, and

305
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 1: you know he's popping up and into the game. You

306
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 1: would think the next brain will be healed enough for

307
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 1: him to give it a Game five, we saw Maxi Kleiba.

308
00:13:57,520 --> 00:13:59,120
Speaker 1: He looked like a guy hadn't played in a while.

309
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 2: It looks watching him, Yes, he has a bad shoulder,

310
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 2: and it looks like you haven't used your arms in

311
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 2: a week and a.

312
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 1: Half one hundred percent. You're super hesitant to ever let

313
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 1: one rip. And then when he did, it looked like

314
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:10,840
Speaker 1: he couldn't get his arms up.

315
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 2: I'm with you.

316
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 1: He sort of had one good drive I think in

317
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 1: this game. But yeah, we'll see again if Lively comes back,

318
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 1: if that changes things. What else from this one? What

319
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 1: do you got in your notes here? From a very

320
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 1: like I guess the whole point I asked you the

321
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 1: question because yeah, it's never been done before, it probably won't.

322
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 1: Dallas is a really good team. They might still have

323
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 1: the two best guys in the series. But you know,

324
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 1: like the Celtics, who at least forced the Game seven,

325
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 1: you've got the thing where like, if it's gonna happen,

326
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 1: it's likely gonna happen in this type of scenario where

327
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 1: you were the home team that are now down, but

328
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 1: then you're going back and maybe have five and seven

329
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 1: at home. You've got star guys and yeah, you've played

330
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 1: a really competitive series too. That's the other thing. This

331
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 1: hasn't been blowout, blowout blowout. These have been very close,

332
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 1: So you've got that going. If you're a Minnesota family,

333
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 1: why not Why can't we be the first? But you

334
00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 1: got to go back to Dallas for you gotta do

335
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 1: the whole time, one at a time, which means maybe

336
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 1: why those comments don't really mean too much.

337
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it almost happened last year. This is a

338
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 3: different scenario, but we did see a game seven.

339
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 2: Were they the first team to force a game seven?

340
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 1: No? Four times in history it's been done I think

341
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 1: very often, maybe first time in a long time. But yeah,

342
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 1: four times a team has even forced a game seven

343
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 1: after going down three to zero.

344
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:20,920
Speaker 2: It would be huge for Minnesota to send their fans

345
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 2: home with a playoff win. Yeah at right, Like, yeah,

346
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 2: the last three games after the way you beat the Nuggets,

347
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 2: you think that's the championship. Everybody's saying that's the Western

348
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 2: Conference finals right there. Then you lose your three home

349
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 2: playoff games. That would be a bummer. So I'm sure

350
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 2: it'll be very, very loud. Alex Rodriguez gonna be going crazy.

351
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 3: Coming in high five Anthony Edwards. He loves doing that.

352
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 3: So it is true that Dwight Powell was a little

353
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 3: slow in this game. He became a target on defense.

354
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 3: I didn't realize that that was gonna be a thing.

355
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 3: But Dwyight Powell is just not as active defensively as Lively,

356
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 3: so that would be a difference maker. I don't know

357
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 3: if Dantejaxson's got another five to zero run in him

358
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 3: that like he had in this game. That was cool.

359
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 3: Another lefty he had not another lefty lefty in addition

360
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 3: to Kyrie Irving yea his lefty. That was weird. So

361
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 3: you know, they had a lot of things going for

362
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 3: them in this game. And I think Chris Finch's move

363
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 3: of playing Karl Anthony Town's with five fouls, well, with

364
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:20,760
Speaker 3: four fouls first of all, then five fouls then Rudy

365
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 3: Gobert with five fouls was big in this game. It

366
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:26,600
Speaker 3: was watrous in this game. Those two all came through

367
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 3: in every single way.

368
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 2: I think that's such a smart thing for the timber

369
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 2: Wolves to do anytime, either those guys getting ten fouls

370
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:35,360
Speaker 2: to Ruble just let him play. Yeah, if they file out,

371
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 2: guess what you have your adjustment made? Ye bring in Nasri.

372
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, you bring in Noea Like.

373
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 2: Everybody should say, you should sit Rudy Okay, Well he

374
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 2: filed out. You should set Towns Okay he fouled out.

375
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 1: Yeah.

376
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 3: Yeah. There was the one play where Kyrie went at

377
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 3: Rudy Gobert, and Rudy Gobert literally he went backwards. Yeah,

378
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 3: he was not going to block the shot, not even

379
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 3: going to come close to alternating the shot. But Rudy

380
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 3: missed because I'm sorry Kyrie missed because Rudy was there

381
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 3: and he was off off and maybe the MAVs, you know,

382
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 3: in retrospect, should have gone more at Rudy Gobert and

383
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 3: Crown Athleny Towns just because they were not blocking shots

384
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 3: at that point. So maybe that's a thing for them

385
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:14,639
Speaker 3: to watch in film review. But you're allowed to have

386
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:17,400
Speaker 3: one bad game in four games for the Dallas Mavericks.

387
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:20,399
Speaker 3: They just didn't close out a game, so DVD on

388
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:21,159
Speaker 3: this one.

389
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 1: We had a couple of little dust ups, if you

390
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:25,920
Speaker 1: want to call them that. We had Luca taking offense

391
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 1: to Kyle Anderson in the first quarter for throwing a

392
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,920
Speaker 1: little shoulder is what Luca thought. So they sort of

393
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 1: got into it, and then we had you know, the crowd,

394
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:38,879
Speaker 1: the Dallas crowd chanting Rudy sucks at one point in

395
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:41,439
Speaker 1: this game after Gobert and I guess Dereck Jones Junior

396
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:44,879
Speaker 1: got into it. A double tech eventually was called on

397
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 1: that one. After you bet your tests, they went and

398
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 1: looked at it.

399
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, and look at everything. They look at everything.

400
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:55,120
Speaker 3: Stan Van was complaining about the video reviews in this one.

401
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:56,480
Speaker 2: That one took forever.

402
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 1: That one took a long time. We all knew, and

403
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:02,160
Speaker 1: they were we're gonna have a double tech here. Yeah,

404
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:05,199
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a well deserved double tech and we

405
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 1: are just gonna take so long. I always wonder like

406
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 1: maybe the refs are a little tired themselves. They're trying

407
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:13,480
Speaker 1: to buy some time breath. They're telling Secacas, Hey, take

408
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:15,720
Speaker 1: your time with this one. Man. I'm feeling it. What

409
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 1: a crew we had to last night, Scott Foster, Ed

410
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 1: molloy and Bill Kennedy. Wow, what crew.

411
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:26,240
Speaker 2: And when Bill Kennedy's on the call, he's gotta be

412
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 2: the guy talking to the camera.

413
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 1: He wasn't even one of the guys at the monitor.

414
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 2: He was just hanging back. Scott ned hang back Bill.

415
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:35,440
Speaker 2: He was the extender comes through though. Man, you gotta

416
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:37,200
Speaker 2: love it, you gotta love it. What did you say

417
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:39,480
Speaker 2: about Rudy Gobert at the beginning, something about a menu eight.

418
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a French dance.

419
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 2: It's a French dance. Well, I like to hear that,

420
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:47,160
Speaker 2: because I felt like Rudy Gobert was getting his flowers

421
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:50,400
Speaker 2: last night for the first time ever. Draymond Green credited

422
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 2: him for bringing physicality. Did he clown on him for

423
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 2: coming in with his arms up during the Derek Jones

424
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:55,960
Speaker 2: Junior confrontation?

425
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:57,159
Speaker 1: Of course he didn't.

426
00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 2: But then he's like, I actually like that he brought physicality, yeah,

427
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 2: through gritted teeth saying nice things about go Bert, but

428
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:05,680
Speaker 2: at least he said it. And at one point Kevin

429
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 2: Harlan called one of his layups elegant. I thought that

430
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 2: was nice, yeah, And it was elegant.

431
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:10,560
Speaker 3: Yeah.

432
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 1: And he did a job at the end of the

433
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:14,399
Speaker 1: game on Kyrie there down the stretch there, he did

434
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:17,960
Speaker 1: a good job of preventing anything from happening using moving

435
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:20,639
Speaker 1: his feet, obviously using his size, and I think that

436
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:23,359
Speaker 1: resulted in a turnover there. But like we clown or

437
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 1: people clowned. Of course, Draymond leading the charge when he

438
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:28,879
Speaker 1: got put on an island against Luca and everyone suddenly

439
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:31,400
Speaker 1: wants to take away his Defensive Player of the Air trophy. Well,

440
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 1: you gotta give him a little love when he like

441
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:36,520
Speaker 1: has another guy that is probably the best ball handler

442
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 1: of all time in crying out like Kyrie evering, and

443
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 1: he did a good job sticking with him and making

444
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,240
Speaker 1: it tough. He did play a good game.

445
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:43,920
Speaker 3: It's probably gets overlooked.

446
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:45,639
Speaker 1: Because Anton Kat you know, hit all the shots or

447
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:46,399
Speaker 1: the timely shots.

448
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 3: And it feels like after the game watching him do

449
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:53,000
Speaker 3: his little dance being elegant going to the rim that

450
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:57,359
Speaker 3: he probably would have had twenty, not even anywhere close. No,

451
00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 3: I no, he was just four or five from the floor.

452
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:02,840
Speaker 3: But it felt like there a lot of parts excellent, excellent,

453
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:04,879
Speaker 3: and a bit of a no look pass sort of

454
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:07,399
Speaker 3: over his shoulder, kind of passed, which was a very

455
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:10,400
Speaker 3: nice look. You don't see that from Rudy Gobert. Ever,

456
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:13,399
Speaker 3: the only thing you could say negative about Rudy Gobert

457
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:15,920
Speaker 3: is dude's five of nine from the line and rude

458
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 3: and sorry Anthony Edwards was five of eight from the line.

459
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:21,800
Speaker 3: Those dudes. Overall, their team shot sixty four percent from

460
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:24,879
Speaker 3: the free throw line and still won a game. Yeah, amaze.

461
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 3: That doesn't happen very often, doesn't feel like anyway.

462
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 1: So tk's leaning towards Dallas taking care of business in

463
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 1: what would be a gentleman's sweep if they do win

464
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:38,600
Speaker 1: game five, would you pick that also happening? Or do

465
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 1: you think Minnesota can at least get this back to

466
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:42,359
Speaker 1: Dallas for Game six?

467
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 3: They have found a flow I guess at the end

468
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 3: of games. But I would pick Dallas, Yeah, yeah, I would.

469
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:52,400
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's tough with good old Karl Anthony

470
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 1: towns Man It's like this guy hit huge shots and

471
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:58,160
Speaker 1: he can do this. He can. He is a really

472
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:00,159
Speaker 1: good three point shooter who had just struggled, as we

473
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 1: talked about through this series. I think somebody said it

474
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 1: was his worst three games stretch of his career in

475
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:08,680
Speaker 1: terms of shooting the ball. You know that that inefficiently

476
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 1: in the first three games. So can he keep it going.

477
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:13,960
Speaker 1: I couldn't believe we had Reggie Miller dropping a Catman

478
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:17,160
Speaker 1: Do shut out to our guy Lee, who I thought

479
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 1: came up with that insane nickname for Carl Anthony Towns

480
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 1: and Reggie said it before. I do remember, Oh yeah, yeah,

481
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:27,480
Speaker 1: But again, I don't know who came up with it.

482
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:29,159
Speaker 1: Was it Reggie? I always thought it was Lee. But

483
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:32,359
Speaker 1: Catman Do It makes me die when he says.

484
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 3: Yeah.

485
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:34,719
Speaker 2: We had that tweet not too long ago about how

486
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 2: brutal nicknames are. Yeah, that's a bad one, so bad.

487
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:43,119
Speaker 2: He's like cat Catman.

488
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:47,480
Speaker 3: He said something great before he said Catman do. That

489
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 3: he often says, and it wasn't just anything you can do,

490
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 3: I can do better? Wasn't that? But he did say that,

491
00:21:55,920 --> 00:22:00,600
Speaker 3: But he said something I just searched on Twitter, Catman do,

492
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:02,919
Speaker 3: because he said something before that, but I got your tweet.

493
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:05,919
Speaker 3: You said, I can't believe Reggie calls Towns catman do

494
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:06,280
Speaker 3: but he.

495
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:09,399
Speaker 2: Said something directly immediately before.

496
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 1: You're trying to find it on Twitter.

497
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:14,159
Speaker 2: You can find everything on Twitter.

498
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 1: I can't find shit on Twitter.

499
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:20,720
Speaker 3: Yes, the search sucks, it does, but I advanced search

500
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:22,879
Speaker 3: it sometimes I gotta do this, got to do that.

501
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:23,880
Speaker 1: But you got a blue check?

502
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 3: No, absolutely not, but advance searches it.

503
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 1: Gives you more search capabilities of the blue check. I'm

504
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:32,000
Speaker 1: not sure what else you got from this game TK

505
00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:33,240
Speaker 1: while he's looking for a tweet.

506
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:35,679
Speaker 2: My last thing was about that elegant finger roll from

507
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:38,200
Speaker 2: Rudy Gobert. Because now I'm into the searching for Reggie

508
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 2: Miller quotes as well. Anything tasking do I can do that.

509
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 3: No, I don't expect it to be written in the tweet.

510
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:50,720
Speaker 3: I expect to have to watch the clip and have

511
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:52,440
Speaker 3: to hear it. That's mostly so.

512
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:55,719
Speaker 2: Some people grind game film to break down matchups. We

513
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:57,879
Speaker 2: do it to find quotes from Reggie Miller.

514
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:03,440
Speaker 3: No Tray also brought up that Luca's hair looked puffy

515
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 3: before he got all sweaty, before it happened. Is your

516
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:09,120
Speaker 3: hair an ode to Luca?

517
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:12,480
Speaker 1: Because your hair looks and your hair looks slightly bigger, bigger,

518
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:16,920
Speaker 1: I just need a haircut. Sometimes we'll throw a little

519
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:19,760
Speaker 1: hairspray in there and get some get some height on it.

520
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:24,920
Speaker 1: It's taller than normal, really, I think. So I'm seeing

521
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:28,200
Speaker 1: our guy Jason tomorrow, so enjoy this tall hair because

522
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:31,119
Speaker 1: it's going to be gone after tomorrow. I did like

523
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 1: this Conley quote after the game. He said in talking

524
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 1: about Chris Finch, who did get a technical foul from

525
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:41,359
Speaker 1: the bench. When your coaches up getting technicals and yelling

526
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:43,640
Speaker 1: and when you see him hobbling around to do it,

527
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:46,680
Speaker 1: it's impressive. It lit a fire under all of us.

528
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 1: So Finch was this was the most we'd seen him.

529
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 1: I feel like, moving around, coming out from that second

530
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 1: row and barking at the officials and barking out directions. Yeah,

531
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:59,959
Speaker 1: he's getting back into it. He's a game time decision.

532
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:02,720
Speaker 1: Were actual coach for game five? Maybe no, probably not,

533
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:05,359
Speaker 1: but that was good to see that. Even the team

534
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:07,720
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, damn, this guy's hobbling around out here.

535
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:09,880
Speaker 1: He doesn't want he doesn't want to go one, two, three,

536
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:10,320
Speaker 1: can't coon.

537
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:13,160
Speaker 3: He's mad another day, mad about the three throws, which

538
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:15,879
Speaker 3: were thirteen twelve at the time. He was mad. I

539
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:18,959
Speaker 3: mean it was within one maybe fifteen fourteen, and they

540
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:24,160
Speaker 3: ended having three four more excuse me. So maybe it worked.

541
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 3: Maybe it worked for a couple of calls from Scott

542
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:28,960
Speaker 3: ed and Bill Well.

543
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 1: What there was the one on Karl Anthony Towns where

544
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:35,440
Speaker 1: Luca goaded him into with the old pump fake out

545
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:38,080
Speaker 1: of the three point line. Then Carl, you know, sort

546
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:41,639
Speaker 1: of obviously was going to contest the three, tried to

547
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:45,720
Speaker 1: catch himself and Luca no doubt did the old well,

548
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sort of shooting the ball here, but

549
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 1: I'm just going to lean into you to draw the foul.

550
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:53,480
Speaker 1: I've seen it called a million times before. But also

551
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 1: we've been told a little bit like we're trying to

552
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:57,640
Speaker 1: cut that one out of the game because maybe it's

553
00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 1: not like a real shooting motion. And that was a big,

554
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 1: big foul too, obviously, Carl Anthony Towns. I think Simmons

555
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 1: had it in his you know, his title for his podcast.

556
00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:08,600
Speaker 1: It was one of the towniest games for Towns of

557
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:11,840
Speaker 1: all time with the fowls and then the big playmaking

558
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 1: maybe even the quiet first half. You know, you got

559
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:15,880
Speaker 1: it all there from a Carl Anthony Towns game.

560
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 3: He got the classic Carl yelling at the referee by

561
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:21,199
Speaker 3: kind of looking downwards. He's looking at the floor and

562
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 3: that's why he that's how he started yelling at the reflic.

563
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 3: You know, you know he he does that. I know

564
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:28,960
Speaker 3: we analyzed absolutely every little thing, every video clip, and

565
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:35,480
Speaker 3: we know Carl does that. So from Carl last night, Yeah,

566
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:37,520
Speaker 3: what was what was Bill's title?

567
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:40,159
Speaker 1: It was like the Towniest Towns game or something like that.

568
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 1: It's spot on. I mean again, he.

569
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:49,479
Speaker 2: Also, that's trying me crazy. They call this guy Anthony

570
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:50,280
Speaker 2: Towns all the time.

571
00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:52,680
Speaker 3: That's that's right, It's only right.

572
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, I don't think he knows that his first

573
00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:55,719
Speaker 2: name is Carl An.

574
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:59,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, Anthony town Anthony Towns with the jumper.

575
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's weird, which makes it even twice is confusing

576
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:06,719
Speaker 1: because there's a guy named Anthony Edwards that's also playing

577
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 1: out there. Yeah, it's even more crazy. All right, Well,

578
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:13,359
Speaker 1: let's hear from everybody out there. Do you think that

579
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 1: Minnesota can at least get this to Game six? Maybe

580
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:19,080
Speaker 1: in their chances to do the unthinkable and somehow come

581
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 1: back from a three to zero deficit and win a

582
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:23,199
Speaker 1: best of the seventh series tell us or do you

583
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:25,919
Speaker 1: just think, yeah, we'll probably have a similar game to

584
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:28,480
Speaker 1: what we just had and it will all be decided

585
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 1: down the stretch from the star guys sort of hitting shots,

586
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:35,719
Speaker 1: Luke and Kyrie versus Anton Kat Yeah, Anthony Towns.

587
00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 3: We didn't even talk about Derek Jones Junior flying for

588
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:44,960
Speaker 3: an alley. Yeah, there's so many other things.

589
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 1: Again, I means huge credit to the Wolves because there

590
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:50,639
Speaker 1: were those things. Okay, there was gafferd scoring three straight

591
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:53,240
Speaker 1: times to start the second half. We already talked about

592
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:55,760
Speaker 1: like Exeum hitting a left hand floater because he saw

593
00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:57,720
Speaker 1: Kyrie do He's like, oh, that's cool, I'll try that.

594
00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:02,120
Speaker 1: We had Hardy go nuts there for that little explosion

595
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 1: where I think scored ten of his thirteen and he

596
00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:07,360
Speaker 1: was on fire. And yeah, Derek Jones Junior the huge

597
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:09,440
Speaker 1: oop that got the crowd going bombing, Like there was plays.

598
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:11,359
Speaker 1: There were so many times where I have to admit

599
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:14,840
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, it was a good fight and

600
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:17,040
Speaker 1: I and they're probably gonna let go of the rope

601
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:18,960
Speaker 1: and just say all right, season's over. It was a

602
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 1: good season. But we'll see you guys next year, And

603
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:23,520
Speaker 1: they didn't. They at least wanted to get back, bring

604
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:26,399
Speaker 1: your ass back to Minnesota. Now it's gonna bring your

605
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 1: ass back to Dallas, hopefully for them. But I was

606
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 1: really impressed. I thought there were many times where it's like,

607
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:33,280
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know in a game, where you

608
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 1: maybe just kept expecting to Luk or Kyrie to have

609
00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:38,840
Speaker 1: the takeover and it was the other guys that did.

610
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:41,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I messaged my dad same recipe, right right,

611
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:43,359
Speaker 2: Like that's what it felt like. They're going to keep

612
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 2: it close and the closers are going to come through.

613
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:47,800
Speaker 2: But the closers were different guys in this one, so

614
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:50,080
Speaker 2: big shout out to the timber Wolves. I feel like

615
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:52,680
Speaker 2: it's probably a fifty to fifty game in Game five,

616
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:54,040
Speaker 2: just like most of these were.

617
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:55,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's.

618
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:58,120
Speaker 2: Easy to forget now. Like Luca and Kyrie had bad

619
00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:00,439
Speaker 2: games in the playoffs earlier. This you said, right, we

620
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:02,280
Speaker 2: were talking about is Luca ever going to have a

621
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:04,760
Speaker 2: game where he shoots over fifty percent? Is Kyrie evering

622
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:06,800
Speaker 2: going to ever score over fourteen points in a game?

623
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 2: They had bad games earlier. This playoffs run so they've

624
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:13,600
Speaker 2: gotten it together and here in the Conference Finals. But

625
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 2: it's also like they had made some incredible shots through

626
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:19,840
Speaker 2: the first three games. They're gonna miss eventually, and if

627
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:21,840
Speaker 2: they miss them again in game five, we're going to

628
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 2: game six.

629
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:24,719
Speaker 3: Baby. Yeah. It is amazing when you look at their

630
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:26,639
Speaker 3: numbers and how poorly are they shot, and how the

631
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:29,440
Speaker 3: team shot forty two percent from the floor after seeing

632
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:33,040
Speaker 3: Luca and Kyrie both shoot thirty three percent, that the

633
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:36,160
Speaker 3: Timberwolves shot fifty two percent, And it wasn't a blow

634
00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:39,520
Speaker 3: by any means. They're they're playing. Dallas is playing great

635
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:42,000
Speaker 3: tam period throughout this until.

636
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 1: Like Minnesota had a lot of turnovers last night that

637
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:46,520
Speaker 1: led to a lot of Dallas points, which is why

638
00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:48,320
Speaker 1: we had a bit of a close score. But I

639
00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:50,959
Speaker 1: hope we get another competitive game five. That's Thursday night,

640
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:53,160
Speaker 1: so you know we'll be talking about that one on

641
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:56,320
Speaker 1: the Drop podcast on Friday. All right, let's pivot from

642
00:28:56,360 --> 00:29:02,320
Speaker 1: the Conference Finals and let's go to fill in the blank. Well,

643
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:03,840
Speaker 1: our first time the bike actually has to do with

644
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:06,840
Speaker 1: the Common Finals, because I just wanted to know for

645
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 1: you guys to fill in the blank and play along

646
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 1: here in the stream, Team and podcast listeners. You can

647
00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:13,160
Speaker 1: tweet in your answers at no dunk think that's I

648
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:15,240
Speaker 1: n C on the end, uh fill in the blank.

649
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 1: Highlight of the Conference Finals so far has been blank fest.

650
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:22,120
Speaker 3: I have to start with the one that is clearly

651
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:26,840
Speaker 3: the biggest Conference Finals highlight. It's Luca hitting over Rudy Gobert.

652
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:30,600
Speaker 3: That's the one that will always remember and you remember

653
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:33,960
Speaker 3: on the starters how we used to have that's the meme,

654
00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:38,080
Speaker 3: the video edit of a player being sent into another universe,

655
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:47,120
Speaker 3: like it was like Bradley Beal the Shooting Stars twirling.

656
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:48,880
Speaker 2: The Rainbow road.

657
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:52,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, perfect, Yeah, I'd forgotten the song, but Rudy

658
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:55,520
Speaker 3: could be sent in that one. Why isn't that a

659
00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:56,240
Speaker 3: meme already?

660
00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:58,280
Speaker 2: A great question died?

661
00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:02,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, the meme did die, right, But Luca just

662
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:04,200
Speaker 3: went side to side, side to side. What else is

663
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:06,000
Speaker 3: this seven foot are supposed to do out there? Twenty

664
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:09,480
Speaker 3: five feet for the basket? So that one we'll start

665
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:11,400
Speaker 3: with that one, yeah, because that's the one we'll remember.

666
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:14,120
Speaker 3: It's like, what do we remember from last year's Conference Finals.

667
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:18,440
Speaker 3: It's Yoka chitting over Anthony Davis twice, a big shot

668
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:21,120
Speaker 3: on the outside of the team that it will eventually

669
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:23,280
Speaker 3: go to the finals. It feels like that. So that's

670
00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:24,680
Speaker 3: why it was Luca for me for sure.

671
00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 1: Okay, that's a great answer. I thought that would be

672
00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 1: at least one of the answers. Do you have anything else?

673
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:30,239
Speaker 2: That was my number one answer as well, especially in

674
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:33,000
Speaker 2: particular for me, I will never forget like the baseline

675
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:35,480
Speaker 2: angle when you see him just screaming in Rudy Gobert's face,

676
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:38,640
Speaker 2: that is incredible, And like when you're looking at Luca's

677
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:40,840
Speaker 2: all time highlight tape at the end of his career,

678
00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:43,240
Speaker 2: that will guaranteed be on there. The other one that

679
00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:44,760
Speaker 2: has to be in the mix of the Jalen Brown

680
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:48,480
Speaker 2: double bang. Yeah, crazy shot, especially like this one. I

681
00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:50,440
Speaker 2: feel like the shot does look crazy when you watch

682
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:53,680
Speaker 2: it in live action, But the picture of Siakam being

683
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:57,320
Speaker 2: this close to Jalen Brown, I think really sells how

684
00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:00,160
Speaker 2: in his shorts he was for that contest, and how

685
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:03,440
Speaker 2: close Jalen Brown is to stepping on the sideline there.

686
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:07,240
Speaker 2: The way they came back from three to like them

687
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:10,320
Speaker 2: or the Pacers had the ball with ten seconds left,

688
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:12,560
Speaker 2: they were up three. Yeah, that's the first time since

689
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:15,160
Speaker 2: nineteen ninety eight. A team is lost in that scenario,

690
00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:18,040
Speaker 2: so pretty amazing. And then of course you throw in

691
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:20,880
Speaker 2: the fact that Jalen Brown won the Larry Bird Trophy. Yeah,

692
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:22,880
Speaker 2: he won it right there. If you ask him, it's true,

693
00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:23,360
Speaker 2: it's true.

694
00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:25,440
Speaker 1: Well, I guess he had a forty point game after

695
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:27,280
Speaker 1: he has had a twenty nine in the closed out game.

696
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 1: But yeah, that one he took the lead.

697
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:30,240
Speaker 2: We said, yeah, he.

698
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:32,400
Speaker 1: Is in the he is in the clubhouse leader for

699
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:34,760
Speaker 1: the finals, MVP Eastern Conference Finals MVP.

700
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:37,360
Speaker 3: Yes, and you want to add the negative side to

701
00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:40,280
Speaker 3: the pacers, you could have Tyr Saliburn putting it off

702
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:43,680
Speaker 3: his leg twice, losing two turnovers right there, if you

703
00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 3: want to edit it that way, if you want to

704
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:47,160
Speaker 3: be a medium. You know, I'm editing in the brain here,

705
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:50,080
Speaker 3: but I'm also in favor of guys here who are

706
00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:52,120
Speaker 3: probably going to the finals. That makes a big difference

707
00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:53,960
Speaker 3: when you look at these it is probably going to

708
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 3: be Luca and Brown in the final.

709
00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:58,560
Speaker 1: You think the Celtics are watching last night's game, going

710
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:03,440
Speaker 1: come on, Minnesota, come on Wolves, extend that series, get

711
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:06,320
Speaker 1: everyone a little more tired, even open up the you know,

712
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:08,040
Speaker 1: I'm sure they're not hoping for it. But the more

713
00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 1: you play, the more likely you might even get injured

714
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:13,520
Speaker 1: or pick up another nick here or there to take on.

715
00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:15,920
Speaker 1: You've had a good run through the postseason of playing

716
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:20,680
Speaker 1: depleted teams. I just wonder, like how invested professional players

717
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:22,479
Speaker 1: are who are going to play in the finals of

718
00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:25,080
Speaker 1: that game. Or on the other hand, they're like, yeah,

719
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:27,080
Speaker 1: just come on Dallas, so we can game plan for

720
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:28,760
Speaker 1: nine days against you, Because there's that part of the

721
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:29,440
Speaker 1: equation as well.

722
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:32,520
Speaker 3: I think it's they'd rather see Dallas in the same

723
00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:35,960
Speaker 3: amount of rust as them, to have them as much

724
00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:38,280
Speaker 3: time off as them, So when they're playing out there,

725
00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:40,840
Speaker 3: they're wondering, Oh, this team is rusty too, you know.

726
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:43,560
Speaker 1: So you were saying they were hoping Dallas yeah wins less.

727
00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:46,080
Speaker 3: Yeah. And Porzingis is definitely cheering for his old team.

728
00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:49,520
Speaker 3: I want to play them. He wants to go against

729
00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:50,480
Speaker 3: Luca a little bit.

730
00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:54,600
Speaker 1: Okay, fair for well, somebody asked them, were you watching

731
00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:56,920
Speaker 1: the game and who are you cheering for? All right,

732
00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:59,760
Speaker 1: next one here. The Indiana Pacers are reportedly expected to

733
00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:02,520
Speaker 1: offer for Pascal Siakam a max contract this summer in

734
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:06,480
Speaker 1: free agency. According to our Guy Schaums. Re signing spicyp

735
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:10,440
Speaker 1: is the Pacers' biggest priority of the offseason. He's going

736
00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:12,720
Speaker 1: to be eligible for a five year, two hundred and

737
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:15,480
Speaker 1: forty five million dollar contract. A full five year max

738
00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:18,600
Speaker 1: would take Siakam through his thirty fifth birthday. So fill

739
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:21,800
Speaker 1: in the blank, TK, you get it started. Siakam reportedly

740
00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:24,680
Speaker 1: receiving a MAX from the Pacers this offseason is.

741
00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:28,200
Speaker 2: A done deal. Okay, he is going to receive the max.

742
00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:30,760
Speaker 2: Olfak I think you can lock that one in. They

743
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:33,640
Speaker 2: traded Bruce Brown and three first round picks to get

744
00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:36,960
Speaker 2: Pascal Siakam. For a small market team like the Pacers,

745
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:38,840
Speaker 2: that is a lot to give up when you're not

746
00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:41,600
Speaker 2: bringing in free agents, right. So part of the plan

747
00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:44,840
Speaker 2: for them as we make this investment in Siakam, we

748
00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:47,240
Speaker 2: pay him a huge contract and he stays here and

749
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:49,240
Speaker 2: he takes our team to the next level. The bigger

750
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:52,480
Speaker 2: question to me is do Siakam want to stay in Indiana?

751
00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 2: The fit was nice, the team was good, I would

752
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:58,160
Speaker 2: say not great. They definitely got some breaks. You mentioned

753
00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:00,160
Speaker 2: he's thirty years old. It's going to be tough to

754
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:04,280
Speaker 2: turn down two hundred and fifty million dollars, So I

755
00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:08,000
Speaker 2: ultimately think it's like eighty twenty stay versus leave. But also,

756
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:10,640
Speaker 2: Siakam is gonna be one of the biggest free agents

757
00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:13,200
Speaker 2: out there. He could pick where he wants to go.

758
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:15,600
Speaker 2: He could go play for Philadelphia if he wanted to.

759
00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:18,200
Speaker 2: Maybe that's a team that's closer to the championship. I

760
00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:21,520
Speaker 2: don't know, because the Pacers, they're basically gonna run it

761
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:23,440
Speaker 2: back right like the way they They're gonna have their

762
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:25,480
Speaker 2: top seven or eight guys come back. They're gonna have

763
00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:27,960
Speaker 2: Benedict Mathern play up next season, and they're gonna hope

764
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:31,120
Speaker 2: that a year of continuity after just a couple of

765
00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:33,759
Speaker 2: months with Siakam in the mix, is good enough to

766
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:35,880
Speaker 2: get them back where they were. I don't know if

767
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:36,440
Speaker 2: that's the case.

768
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:40,680
Speaker 3: I agree they have to. It's mandatory. You gotta do it.

769
00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:42,600
Speaker 3: You could look at the playoffs and say he was

770
00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:44,680
Speaker 3: their best player. You could definitely look at it that

771
00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:48,080
Speaker 3: way and say that he was extremely consistent. And are

772
00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:51,000
Speaker 3: they gonna get somebody better? Absolutely not. There's no chance.

773
00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:54,200
Speaker 3: You have to pay this man a lot of money

774
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:57,160
Speaker 3: and it works out with their salary cap because they've

775
00:34:57,160 --> 00:34:59,959
Speaker 3: got guys coming off the books and McDermott, Daniel Tice

776
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:02,160
Speaker 3: and they just aren't paying other guys a lot of money.

777
00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:07,160
Speaker 3: So thirty. Yeah, it's a slightly aging for a Pascal Siakam,

778
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:10,759
Speaker 3: but that's fine. Four years and you've got to do

779
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:12,839
Speaker 3: it before someone else does. You brought up Philly. There

780
00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:15,000
Speaker 3: are other teams that would say max because they have

781
00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:19,279
Speaker 3: gotten a roster makeup or a salary makeup. I should

782
00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:21,839
Speaker 3: say like an okay, see, why wouldn't they go get

783
00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:24,680
Speaker 3: Pascal siak And to be there number starting for and

784
00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:27,279
Speaker 3: play him and he's he's he's a good teacher. They've

785
00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:29,879
Speaker 3: got Jaris Walker, a young guy on the roster. He'd

786
00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:32,120
Speaker 3: be perfect as a teacher for him. So spicy p

787
00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:36,160
Speaker 3: who's not spicy anymore? That's why I put that in there.

788
00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:38,719
Speaker 1: I'm glad you said that he lost his spice when

789
00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:41,479
Speaker 1: he suddenly went to Indiana. Crazy that v would happen,

790
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:44,040
Speaker 1: I know, but hey, we had something spicy in Indiana.

791
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:47,200
Speaker 1: In Indianapolish, we had a horse ride. It was the

792
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:50,920
Speaker 1: horse Radish, the only restaurant in Tenna. How does he

793
00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:53,719
Speaker 1: not have he should work a little deal spice back

794
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:57,080
Speaker 1: almost p Yeah, right, right right.

795
00:35:57,120 --> 00:35:58,520
Speaker 3: He's playing p right now.

796
00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:01,799
Speaker 1: Something I read from Marks on the Pacers offseason that

797
00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:04,760
Speaker 1: jumped out to me, he said. Quote teams ESPN talked

798
00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:07,480
Speaker 1: to during the season pointed to how the Pacers constructed

799
00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:11,920
Speaker 1: their roster next season as a blueprint under the new CBA.

800
00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:16,920
Speaker 1: Two players on max contracts Halliburton and potentially Siakam here

801
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:20,840
Speaker 1: Siakam followed by nine players earning between two million and

802
00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:24,480
Speaker 1: nineteen point nine million, and five of those guys, Matthin, Walker,

803
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:27,400
Speaker 1: Jackson Shepherd, and Nemhard are all in their rookie contracts.

804
00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:29,600
Speaker 1: Just something to that jumped out to me, like, oh,

805
00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:31,920
Speaker 1: maybe that moving forward, Yeah, how you're going to have

806
00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:34,000
Speaker 1: to work this is have obviously a bunch of cheap guys,

807
00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:36,840
Speaker 1: a bunch of rookie contracts if you can with your

808
00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:39,520
Speaker 1: your money players. And that two is where you sort

809
00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:42,520
Speaker 1: of potentially draw the line because there is the Obi

810
00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:45,680
Speaker 1: toppin question of all this. If they signed Siakam to

811
00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:47,480
Speaker 1: this huge, huge deal, I think they might have to

812
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:50,000
Speaker 1: get into the old luxury tax there. If they want

813
00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:52,760
Speaker 1: to bring back Obie Tappen, who we were really impressed

814
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:54,279
Speaker 1: with in the playoffs. It seems to be a role

815
00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:57,040
Speaker 1: for him. But then again, they have a guy in

816
00:36:57,120 --> 00:36:59,440
Speaker 1: Walker who never even played. I mean, you know, there

817
00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:02,160
Speaker 1: was no really minutes for him. Jackson obviously got a

818
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:04,480
Speaker 1: little bit of burn, but we'll see they got that's

819
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:06,040
Speaker 1: a good problem to have. They have a lot of

820
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:09,680
Speaker 1: young talented guys. Some some we didn't see unfortunately because

821
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:12,160
Speaker 1: of injury in Mathron, but Nemhard impressed a lot of people.

822
00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:14,320
Speaker 1: Shepherd did have moments, you know, he went ice cold,

823
00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:16,400
Speaker 1: sort of at the wrong time, but I got some

824
00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:20,080
Speaker 1: talent there. So Siakam, you guys think you're like eighty

825
00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:22,719
Speaker 1: to twenty that he's there, even if not more.

826
00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:25,279
Speaker 2: I think it's his decision because he's gonna get a

827
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:28,719
Speaker 2: max contract from the Pacers. Does he want to pass

828
00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:31,200
Speaker 2: up an opportunity somewhere else? Is it a smart move

829
00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:33,240
Speaker 2: for the Pacers long term? I don't know. You mentioned

830
00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:35,440
Speaker 2: the two max contracts. Yeah, they would have Halliburton and

831
00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:37,839
Speaker 2: they would have Pascal Siakam locked up. You're gonna regret

832
00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:39,960
Speaker 2: it paying past Gal Siakam that much when he's thirty

833
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:41,319
Speaker 2: four years old. This is a guy that gets bi

834
00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:43,920
Speaker 2: on athleticism. He's not what he was when he was

835
00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:46,000
Speaker 2: in Toronto, that he's still a really good player when

836
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:48,960
Speaker 2: he's thirty four. That's gonna be tough stuff. I do believe.

837
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:51,200
Speaker 2: Not to mention Miles Turner comes off the books after

838
00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:54,960
Speaker 2: the twenty five season, after next season, gonna pay him

839
00:37:55,520 --> 00:37:57,720
Speaker 2: is you're gonna how far are you going with Halliburton,

840
00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:00,719
Speaker 2: Siakam and Turner. It's your long term three man contracts.

841
00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:02,640
Speaker 2: That doesn't sound like a great idea to me. But

842
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:05,440
Speaker 2: the Pacers also like being in the playoffs. They went

843
00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:07,719
Speaker 2: pretty far. They think they can get back there. I

844
00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:09,520
Speaker 2: don't know if that's the case personally.

845
00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:12,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, Matherin is sort of the X factor here. If

846
00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:15,520
Speaker 3: he is awesome, maybe they go even further because he's

847
00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:18,320
Speaker 3: just a damn good offensive player. They just needed offensive

848
00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:21,520
Speaker 3: buckets at the end of this game, these games against

849
00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:23,800
Speaker 3: the Boston Celtics, they literally just needed a bucket or

850
00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:26,640
Speaker 3: two or three. And he could be that guy. And

851
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:29,160
Speaker 3: maybe they're looking at the TV deal that the NBA

852
00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:31,480
Speaker 3: is signing and saying, oh, there's a lot of money.

853
00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:34,600
Speaker 3: I hope it's a lot because we want to pay

854
00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:37,880
Speaker 3: Siakam a lot and maybe it'll work out because of it.

855
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:41,080
Speaker 3: But it is, you know, that's a bad joke. But

856
00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:43,960
Speaker 3: to say Siakam is going to be better at thirty

857
00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:46,080
Speaker 3: four is definitely not true. Like he's right, he is,

858
00:38:46,640 --> 00:38:49,720
Speaker 3: he's aging slightly, but he's he looks like a playoff

859
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:54,040
Speaker 3: performer in a in a complimentary role. Yeah, he can't

860
00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:57,560
Speaker 3: be a number one guy, and it is on Haliburton

861
00:38:57,680 --> 00:39:00,400
Speaker 3: to get better and to keep those hammis healthy. I

862
00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:03,319
Speaker 3: think that the physical problem there with him twice this

863
00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:06,880
Speaker 3: year where there's problems with this hamstring and the development

864
00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:10,520
Speaker 3: of Mathern, who is more of a one way guy.

865
00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:14,400
Speaker 3: But it seems like when you look at their roster

866
00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:15,719
Speaker 3: they've got enough talent.

867
00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:18,440
Speaker 1: In terms of that contract extension when you can expect it.

868
00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:21,560
Speaker 1: Both sides are eligible starting on the first day after

869
00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:24,600
Speaker 1: the finals to negotiate that deal, so it could come

870
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:29,280
Speaker 1: immediately after the finals end if they are, which we expect,

871
00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:32,120
Speaker 1: just going to offer him that big old max contract

872
00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:37,080
Speaker 1: and hopefully lock him up next one here after yet

873
00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:40,040
Speaker 1: another early playoff exit, the seventy six ers might need

874
00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:42,520
Speaker 1: to add a big star here in hopes of taking

875
00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:46,040
Speaker 1: that next step, pairing someone with Embiid and Maxi. So

876
00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:49,120
Speaker 1: ESPN's Brian Windhorse reported the Sixers would love to add

877
00:39:49,239 --> 00:39:53,080
Speaker 1: nine time All Star Paul George, though we've heard whispers

878
00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:56,160
Speaker 1: brandon Ingram could be plan B if you don't get

879
00:39:56,200 --> 00:39:59,040
Speaker 1: Paul George. Chris Herring says Philly should go for Lebron

880
00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:02,640
Speaker 1: dream big, and according to the Philadelphia Inquirer, the Sixers

881
00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:05,840
Speaker 1: are prepared to give Jimmy Butler a max salary extension

882
00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:08,200
Speaker 1: if things align, then he forces a trade out of Miami.

883
00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:12,320
Speaker 1: So they are like star hunting. I know Donovan Mitchell's

884
00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:14,440
Speaker 1: been linked, Zach Lavine has been thrown out there, like

885
00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:18,160
Speaker 1: the possibility of the Sixers getting a big guy tass.

886
00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:19,759
Speaker 1: You gotta start it here, fill in the blank. The

887
00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:23,680
Speaker 1: Sixers should target blank in free agency.

888
00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:26,840
Speaker 3: It's Paul George. They gotta go big, as big as possible.

889
00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:29,759
Speaker 3: You get one shot with Joel Embiid. I don't want

890
00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:31,520
Speaker 3: to go m in m but you gotta go. You

891
00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:34,960
Speaker 3: gotta pay whoever it is, as much as you possibly can.

892
00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:38,200
Speaker 3: And maybe it's Paul George not getting that same amount

893
00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:40,680
Speaker 3: of money from the Clippers. Kawhi signed an extension. Why

894
00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:42,960
Speaker 3: didn't Paul George sign an extension? It was only for

895
00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:47,279
Speaker 3: three years for Kawhi. Maybe Bumber doesn't want to go

896
00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:50,319
Speaker 3: four years, and that's where the Sixers coming. That's where

897
00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:53,160
Speaker 3: Darryl Morey comes in for an All Star. Last year,

898
00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:56,600
Speaker 3: this guy was really really good. I am guilty like

899
00:40:56,680 --> 00:40:59,040
Speaker 3: everybody that kind of just looks past Paul George because

900
00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:01,440
Speaker 3: we've seen it an incredible peak where he was in

901
00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:04,719
Speaker 3: the Conference finals doing his thing, then the injury, and

902
00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:06,440
Speaker 3: now he's just a really good player and would be

903
00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:08,399
Speaker 3: a far better player than Brandon Ingram because he can

904
00:41:08,560 --> 00:41:11,040
Speaker 3: create on his own and create for others and be

905
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:15,080
Speaker 3: a great guy when others create for him. He's he's

906
00:41:15,120 --> 00:41:17,279
Speaker 3: great on the catch and shoots forty five percent from

907
00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:20,200
Speaker 3: last year, and this is just would be a bonus,

908
00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:23,080
Speaker 3: a huge bonus for Joel Embiid because that's the other

909
00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:25,359
Speaker 3: big question in this one. Will Joe Ebiid be able

910
00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:28,200
Speaker 3: to stay healthy. Paul George can take it upon himself

911
00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:30,520
Speaker 3: to be the number one guy at times, well, you know,

912
00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:33,799
Speaker 3: Maxy is very good and did that at times, but

913
00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:36,960
Speaker 3: now Paul George would be such an upgrade. And with

914
00:41:37,040 --> 00:41:41,680
Speaker 3: Tobias coming off the books, peyton Man, who was really

915
00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:45,440
Speaker 3: really really good last year, his percentages are ridiculously good,

916
00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:49,120
Speaker 3: so I don't know what situation he wants if he

917
00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:51,400
Speaker 3: wants to stay in LA. But you look back at

918
00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:54,879
Speaker 3: his career, he was in Okay, See it didn't look

919
00:41:54,920 --> 00:41:56,959
Speaker 3: like he wanted to stay there, signing an extension there

920
00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:01,319
Speaker 3: and then he left. So yeah, this could be one

921
00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:03,520
Speaker 3: of those where you signed a deal and then it's

922
00:42:03,520 --> 00:42:06,080
Speaker 3: not forever. But who knows. It depends if they win.

923
00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:09,000
Speaker 3: Ocaus obviously didn't win and Russ left and then it

924
00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:11,520
Speaker 3: was a different team. But this one is, this is

925
00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:13,759
Speaker 3: you got to show him be for one last and

926
00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:16,000
Speaker 3: one final time, and you gotta put all your chips

927
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:18,800
Speaker 3: in and there's nobody else that's better out there.

928
00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:23,920
Speaker 1: About Lebron James if available, I know, say that long

929
00:42:23,960 --> 00:42:26,200
Speaker 1: you say the Sixers with a realistic board of names

930
00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:27,360
Speaker 1: that they could go get in free and so you

931
00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:28,120
Speaker 1: would have Paul George.

932
00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:30,480
Speaker 3: I don't know if that's realistic. Well, he has a

933
00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:32,560
Speaker 3: player option for next year. He could be easily say

934
00:42:32,719 --> 00:42:34,919
Speaker 3: I want to stay in La. I'm an LA guy.

935
00:42:35,120 --> 00:42:38,040
Speaker 3: My podcast set is set up here. I'm happy here.

936
00:42:38,640 --> 00:42:41,560
Speaker 3: So I don't know. Nobody knows, but Daryl Morey, he

937
00:42:41,840 --> 00:42:45,160
Speaker 3: takes risks. This would be a risk at thirty three

938
00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:46,799
Speaker 3: years old as well. He's not young.

939
00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:49,160
Speaker 1: Still in the black tkre you going with Paul George

940
00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:49,719
Speaker 1: or somebody.

941
00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:52,759
Speaker 2: Else, somebody else? I actually disagree. I don't think they

942
00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:55,560
Speaker 2: should go after a big star. Paul George is thirty

943
00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:57,600
Speaker 2: four years old. This guy wants to be paid four years,

944
00:42:57,640 --> 00:43:01,239
Speaker 2: two hundred and twelve million ffty million when he's thirty eight.

945
00:43:01,280 --> 00:43:03,320
Speaker 2: He paid seventy four games last season. That's awesome.

946
00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:05,560
Speaker 3: Jammy's thirty four. I keep saying he's thirty three, just

947
00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:07,640
Speaker 3: thirty four, you're right, yere.

948
00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:10,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, but the previous four seasons forty eight games, fifty four,

949
00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:13,319
Speaker 2: thirty one, fifty six. You got to have an absolutely

950
00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:16,560
Speaker 2: reliable guy next to Joel Embiid because you know he's

951
00:43:16,560 --> 00:43:20,600
Speaker 2: gonna miss twenty games and he should probably he should,

952
00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:22,560
Speaker 2: and he should play like fifty games a season at

953
00:43:22,560 --> 00:43:24,520
Speaker 2: this point. So you have to be awesome when Embiid

954
00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:27,439
Speaker 2: is out, And to me, that doesn't mean spending all

955
00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:30,320
Speaker 2: of your cap on Embiid, MAXI and Paul George. I

956
00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:32,120
Speaker 2: also don't think they should go again, go for like

957
00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:34,520
Speaker 2: Jimmy Butler. He's old. Shouldn't go for brandon Ingram He's

958
00:43:34,520 --> 00:43:37,520
Speaker 2: always hurt Lebron sure, I mean, honestly, I would take Lebron.

959
00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:39,319
Speaker 2: He's the number one choice. If he wants to play

960
00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:41,040
Speaker 2: for you, get him. I don't care if he's hurt,

961
00:43:41,040 --> 00:43:43,120
Speaker 2: because he'll be there in the playoffs. Og Anobi would

962
00:43:43,120 --> 00:43:44,680
Speaker 2: be awesome, but I think he's gonna stay with the Knicks.

963
00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:47,600
Speaker 2: Klay Thompson, he's old. I would go for role guys.

964
00:43:47,840 --> 00:43:50,520
Speaker 2: I think it doesn't make sense to pay Big three

965
00:43:50,760 --> 00:43:53,680
Speaker 2: and then all minimum contracts with the second ag from coming.

966
00:43:53,719 --> 00:43:56,880
Speaker 2: So I would rather see the Sixers go after Contavious Caldwell,

967
00:43:56,960 --> 00:44:00,160
Speaker 2: Pope and Andre Drummond. You get a defensive wing, a

968
00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:02,759
Speaker 2: guy who shoots threes in KCP, who's always healthy. You

969
00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:05,200
Speaker 2: get Andre Drummond, who can be a spot starter when

970
00:44:05,239 --> 00:44:07,799
Speaker 2: embiid is sitting down. Take that sixty million dollars in

971
00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:10,080
Speaker 2: cap space they have and get players who are actually

972
00:44:10,080 --> 00:44:11,920
Speaker 2: gonna be able to play for you in the playoffs,

973
00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:14,279
Speaker 2: so you don't have five guys like always happens for

974
00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:16,520
Speaker 2: the Philadelphia seventy six ers. Look at the teams that

975
00:44:16,520 --> 00:44:18,520
Speaker 2: are going deep in the playoffs. They've got a lot

976
00:44:18,520 --> 00:44:20,640
Speaker 2: of good guys, not just three good guys. And then

977
00:44:20,680 --> 00:44:22,880
Speaker 2: they're trying to find the other two who are around.

978
00:44:22,880 --> 00:44:26,160
Speaker 2: So I don't really think the Stars and Scrubs method

979
00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:27,080
Speaker 2: is going to work.

980
00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:28,799
Speaker 1: Right right right, And that maybe goes back to what

981
00:44:28,840 --> 00:44:30,759
Speaker 1: I said with Bobby Mark is saying teams are thinking

982
00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:32,600
Speaker 1: and looking at sort of what the Pacers have done here.

983
00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:34,920
Speaker 1: That's sort of what you're saying. Maybe the money goes

984
00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:36,640
Speaker 1: to two guys and not three, because then you have

985
00:44:36,719 --> 00:44:39,000
Speaker 1: nothing left for the rest of your roster, and maybe

986
00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:40,319
Speaker 1: you want to fill it out a bit more. When

987
00:44:40,360 --> 00:44:43,600
Speaker 1: you have an MVP guy and embiid always not always injured,

988
00:44:43,640 --> 00:44:45,920
Speaker 1: there is that issue. And then MAXI took a jump

989
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:48,279
Speaker 1: and is like in the conversation of all MBA and

990
00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:50,040
Speaker 1: so maybe yeah, you flush it out. They have big

991
00:44:50,080 --> 00:44:53,719
Speaker 1: decisions here, but Maury does like to go after a

992
00:44:53,719 --> 00:44:55,520
Speaker 1: big old name, and Paul George.

993
00:44:55,239 --> 00:44:58,400
Speaker 2: Is good, damn good, and maybe it's one of those.

994
00:44:58,280 --> 00:45:01,520
Speaker 1: You're definitely doing a calculation, like, damn, we want to

995
00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:03,400
Speaker 1: win right now. It's got to happen in the first

996
00:45:03,600 --> 00:45:05,759
Speaker 1: year or two of that giant ass deal for whoever

997
00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:08,279
Speaker 1: this player is. Let's say it's hypothetically Paul George and

998
00:45:08,320 --> 00:45:10,799
Speaker 1: it was going to get real ugly late if it's

999
00:45:10,840 --> 00:45:14,360
Speaker 1: whatever you said, fifty plus, close to sixty plus or

1000
00:45:14,400 --> 00:45:17,200
Speaker 1: close to sixties. I mean the numbers are getting wilder

1001
00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:17,799
Speaker 1: and wilder too.

1002
00:45:17,840 --> 00:45:20,400
Speaker 2: But there's are going to be signing eighty million dollars

1003
00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:22,320
Speaker 2: a year contracts pretty soon, yeah, very.

1004
00:45:22,200 --> 00:45:24,279
Speaker 3: Soon, wasn't that? There is the analysis that it literally

1005
00:45:24,320 --> 00:45:27,399
Speaker 3: could be triple triple digits at some.

1006
00:45:27,320 --> 00:45:28,800
Speaker 1: Point one hundred million yes a year.

1007
00:45:28,760 --> 00:45:32,560
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, yes, so Darryl Morris, he's got to do it.

1008
00:45:33,040 --> 00:45:37,000
Speaker 3: He loves going after it, he sure does. And Joe Embiid,

1009
00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:39,040
Speaker 3: how many more years with Philly does he have left?

1010
00:45:39,280 --> 00:45:41,919
Speaker 3: That's that's my other questions that that's why you try

1011
00:45:41,960 --> 00:45:45,359
Speaker 3: and do this now. But they also it's it's so

1012
00:45:45,400 --> 00:45:49,279
Speaker 3: strange when you look at their their salary breakdown now.

1013
00:45:49,360 --> 00:45:52,200
Speaker 3: I mean there's like literally nobody signed this year, you know,

1014
00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:57,640
Speaker 3: beyond Joel Embiid, Paul Reid and and really not a lot.

1015
00:45:57,800 --> 00:46:01,440
Speaker 3: So yeah, I think the guy who would put a

1016
00:46:01,520 --> 00:46:04,640
Speaker 3: max type of contract in there, that's Maury, that's Mary

1017
00:46:04,680 --> 00:46:06,120
Speaker 3: sta final one.

1018
00:46:06,360 --> 00:46:10,239
Speaker 1: This one's fun. Uh Ben Simmons workout picks on Instagram.

1019
00:46:10,560 --> 00:46:13,520
Speaker 1: They dropped yesterday. It's an off season tradition. Unlike any

1020
00:46:13,520 --> 00:46:16,400
Speaker 1: other and we're not even in the off season. Technically

1021
00:46:16,440 --> 00:46:18,880
Speaker 1: he is, he has been. But here they are showing

1022
00:46:18,880 --> 00:46:23,920
Speaker 1: everyone on YouTube one where he's uh, you know, lining

1023
00:46:23,960 --> 00:46:25,359
Speaker 1: up to take a shot. He's got a tank top

1024
00:46:25,400 --> 00:46:26,920
Speaker 1: on there, but then it comes off. Look at that

1025
00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:30,120
Speaker 1: light and he's done some nice lunches. Yeah, people saying

1026
00:46:30,120 --> 00:46:31,840
Speaker 1: where's he doing this work hill? It looks like a

1027
00:46:31,880 --> 00:46:35,480
Speaker 1: cool place. Looks like he's in the Gravitrond at the

1028
00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:37,600
Speaker 1: old fair there. That's a weird reference, but that's what

1029
00:46:37,640 --> 00:46:39,680
Speaker 1: it looks like to me. But fill in the blank.

1030
00:46:39,760 --> 00:46:42,800
Speaker 1: One word to describe the latest Ben Simmons workout picks

1031
00:46:43,040 --> 00:46:44,400
Speaker 1: is Trey summer.

1032
00:46:44,719 --> 00:46:49,000
Speaker 2: That's right, the first three signs of summer. School is out,

1033
00:46:49,200 --> 00:46:51,480
Speaker 2: the pool is open, and Ben Simmons is working out

1034
00:46:51,480 --> 00:46:52,799
Speaker 2: in the gym with no shirt.

1035
00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:56,320
Speaker 1: Damn right, man, it is here.

1036
00:46:57,120 --> 00:46:58,440
Speaker 2: He's still on the island skeets.

1037
00:46:58,800 --> 00:46:59,120
Speaker 3: Hell.

1038
00:46:59,320 --> 00:47:02,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, why look at him. He looks great, look at

1039
00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:05,319
Speaker 1: that lunch light enough to think about taking a shot

1040
00:47:05,360 --> 00:47:08,360
Speaker 1: that he won't take. My god, it's a free throws,

1041
00:47:08,480 --> 00:47:09,719
Speaker 1: oh is it? Yeah?

1042
00:47:09,760 --> 00:47:11,239
Speaker 2: He might literally just a free throw.

1043
00:47:11,320 --> 00:47:14,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, good good practice those Ben. Yeah, this is amazing,

1044
00:47:14,840 --> 00:47:19,000
Speaker 1: Like I don't know. I was gonna say him and

1045
00:47:19,040 --> 00:47:21,560
Speaker 1: his team are I actually leaning into this bit now,

1046
00:47:22,080 --> 00:47:25,120
Speaker 1: but I'm not convinced they are, Like he's just just

1047
00:47:25,160 --> 00:47:28,000
Speaker 1: this is him. But what's your word? Is it summer

1048
00:47:28,160 --> 00:47:28,839
Speaker 1: for you as well?

1049
00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:30,880
Speaker 3: No, I've got Trey went first because I don't have

1050
00:47:30,920 --> 00:47:34,279
Speaker 3: a one word, because I did look at this like

1051
00:47:34,920 --> 00:47:37,440
Speaker 3: three different ways. Because you can look at Ben Simmons

1052
00:47:37,480 --> 00:47:40,280
Speaker 3: in three different ways. You can be way too positive.

1053
00:47:40,360 --> 00:47:42,560
Speaker 3: You can say, look at him, look at the shape

1054
00:47:42,640 --> 00:47:46,560
Speaker 3: he's getting into. He's Russell Westbrook but eight years younger.

1055
00:47:46,640 --> 00:47:50,279
Speaker 3: Look how fit he's gonna be. You can be you know, sensible,

1056
00:47:50,320 --> 00:47:54,239
Speaker 3: but still way too positive. He's had back problems the

1057
00:47:54,280 --> 00:47:57,080
Speaker 3: last few years. He's getting in that lunge position. It

1058
00:47:57,120 --> 00:48:00,080
Speaker 3: looks like the back is looking better. I think this

1059
00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:02,319
Speaker 3: year will be his coming out party. Or you can

1060
00:48:02,320 --> 00:48:05,080
Speaker 3: be realistic. He's gonna make forty million dollars next year

1061
00:48:05,160 --> 00:48:10,160
Speaker 3: and play fewer than ten games. That's that's a real

1062
00:48:10,560 --> 00:48:14,239
Speaker 3: that's real life. Like the shot with the beautiful light

1063
00:48:14,280 --> 00:48:17,319
Speaker 3: on him, it looks like an Instagram photo that people take.

1064
00:48:18,360 --> 00:48:22,960
Speaker 3: You can go Instagram life or reality. Instagram versus reality.

1065
00:48:23,080 --> 00:48:25,960
Speaker 3: The reality is he doesn't play in a lot of

1066
00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:29,160
Speaker 3: basketball games. It's easy to forget he played in fifteen

1067
00:48:29,200 --> 00:48:31,719
Speaker 3: last year, forty two the year before, and missed the

1068
00:48:31,840 --> 00:48:34,360
Speaker 3: entire year of the year before that. So the reality

1069
00:48:34,480 --> 00:48:37,560
Speaker 3: is versus that great ig photo, is that unfortunately his

1070
00:48:37,640 --> 00:48:41,080
Speaker 3: back is not holding up, and so how on earth

1071
00:48:41,120 --> 00:48:42,560
Speaker 3: can you think that he's going to play it?

1072
00:48:42,640 --> 00:48:44,799
Speaker 1: But don't you worry, give it. What do you want

1073
00:48:44,800 --> 00:48:46,680
Speaker 1: to call it? Two to three weeks, maybe even less.

1074
00:48:46,719 --> 00:48:50,279
Speaker 1: Now we're gonna get the footage. Sure will be off.

1075
00:48:50,320 --> 00:48:52,279
Speaker 1: He'll be in a gym. He'll be one of those

1076
00:48:52,320 --> 00:48:55,120
Speaker 1: sort of small gyms with a whole bunch of windows,

1077
00:48:55,520 --> 00:48:59,759
Speaker 1: real nice natural light. But he'll be playing against guys

1078
00:49:00,320 --> 00:49:02,880
Speaker 1: who they are, and he'll be looking good. He'll be

1079
00:49:02,960 --> 00:49:06,479
Speaker 1: cashing some threes, cashing some jumpers and transition late.

1080
00:49:06,840 --> 00:49:10,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, con tacked here, it's right contract here for big Ben.

1081
00:49:10,680 --> 00:49:11,239
Speaker 1: Let's go Ben.

1082
00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:14,680
Speaker 2: The thing with Ben Simmons is, yeah, he doesn't play.

1083
00:49:15,640 --> 00:49:18,040
Speaker 2: I mean that's the thing. That's the main thing. The

1084
00:49:18,120 --> 00:49:20,920
Speaker 2: secondary thing is when he plays, he's not good anymore.

1085
00:49:21,239 --> 00:49:23,319
Speaker 2: The guy's averaged six points a game in the past

1086
00:49:23,320 --> 00:49:25,160
Speaker 2: two seasons. He's a bench big.

1087
00:49:25,400 --> 00:49:25,600
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1088
00:49:25,960 --> 00:49:28,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's the most expensive role player of all time.

1089
00:49:28,520 --> 00:49:30,680
Speaker 1: He's not even a role player. He can't start in

1090
00:49:30,760 --> 00:49:33,080
Speaker 1: his role as defense. I guess when he played No, no,

1091
00:49:33,120 --> 00:49:33,800
Speaker 1: you're right.

1092
00:49:33,800 --> 00:49:36,120
Speaker 2: Oh no, here's the thing. They play him at center. Yeah,

1093
00:49:36,200 --> 00:49:39,080
Speaker 2: he's not a center. He has to play point guard

1094
00:49:39,120 --> 00:49:41,319
Speaker 2: to be a good defender because of his size and

1095
00:49:41,320 --> 00:49:45,840
Speaker 2: his activity and has a letticism blanketing guys on the perimeter.

1096
00:49:45,920 --> 00:49:48,480
Speaker 2: He can't do that anymore. So you're paying forty million

1097
00:49:48,520 --> 00:49:51,440
Speaker 2: dollars to a backup center who won't shoot and won't rebound,

1098
00:49:51,600 --> 00:49:54,439
Speaker 2: doesn't block shots. It doesn't make sense. It literally doesn't

1099
00:49:54,480 --> 00:49:58,160
Speaker 2: make sense. He's Russell Westbrook, who's six' ten playing, center right.

1100
00:49:58,239 --> 00:50:01,520
Speaker 1: Right you're paying for the social, content these beautiful. Photos

1101
00:50:01,760 --> 00:50:05,560
Speaker 1: clicks content is, key all, right play along. There fill
