1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:05,400
Speaker 1: Welcome back to a special edition of What's Burning Playoff edition. Man,

2
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:08,160
Speaker 1: we got one of the best minds in the game.

3
00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:11,399
Speaker 1: Kendrick Perkins came to blessing with his present today my

4
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:30,440
Speaker 1: brother calling me by my government name. Well, the play

5
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:33,520
Speaker 1: in was great from a fans perspective. Understand some players

6
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 1: might have not e liked it, but from a fans prospective,

7
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:38,080
Speaker 1: we definitely enjoyed. But we have our matchups now and

8
00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:40,640
Speaker 1: let's look out west. Now we've got the number two

9
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:45,519
Speaker 1: Phoenix Suns against the number seven Los Angeles Lakers, and

10
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:46,879
Speaker 1: I want to say they said something like, for the

11
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:51,560
Speaker 1: first time in thirty years, the seven seed is favor

12
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 1: the favorite first to two seeds. So Lakers obviously exciting

13
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 1: playing game with the Warriors that we ended up to

14
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 1: be able to pull that out. Uh, Man, Phoenix, I

15
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 1: can't give Coach Williams CP three Devin book Are enough

16
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 1: credit for what they've been able to do this season.

17
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:10,400
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, Phoenix has kind of been at

18
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:12,480
Speaker 1: the lower half of the Western Conference for a while now,

19
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 1: and uh, you know you and search CP they had

20
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:17,119
Speaker 1: a chance for the one spot, they followed the two spots,

21
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:19,759
Speaker 1: so they've had a great year. Let's talk about this series, Jack,

22
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 1: what are you looking forward to in this series? Well,

23
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:24,400
Speaker 1: we talked about things we can't kid j j up

24
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 1: that general manager. He's doing his things at James Uh.

25
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: I love this series, man, I think this is a

26
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 1: great first round matchup. Um, we all know what Lebron

27
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 1: and a d bring to it. I would definitely have

28
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:40,679
Speaker 1: been winning the series as well. But I think with

29
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,399
Speaker 1: a competent CP and the way they ride, and a

30
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 1: smart coach like Monty Williams, he was a competitor as well,

31
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 1: they're gonna take some stuff away. It ain't gonna be

32
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 1: easy as people think. You know, Devin Book is gonna

33
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 1: come out and put on the show as well. So

34
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 1: everybody just saying that Lake is gonna win. Like me,

35
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna win. But at the same time,

36
00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 1: something that's telling me this series is gonna be better

37
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 1: than I think. I'm with you. I gotta go on

38
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 1: six or seven. Stack, I ain't gonna lie, man, I

39
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 1: gotta go on six or seven. I think the deciding

40
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:10,640
Speaker 1: factor for the Lakers is you know, I think DeAndre

41
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 1: As take took took a major step forward. But I

42
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 1: watched them towards the end of the season and a

43
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 1: D just handed his way. I think he had forty

44
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 1: two points on him, like he dominated them. So, you know,

45
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 1: I just feel like they don't have an answer for

46
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 1: a D. Like they have some wing guys that they

47
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 1: could mix up and throw it at Braun. When you

48
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 1: think about Jake Crowder and and Bridges and even CP three,

49
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 1: right being a Piston defender, I think it's gonna come

50
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 1: down to then it's shrewd him, right. Is he gonna

51
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 1: be able to match up with CP three. I mean,

52
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 1: we're talking about a guy that that passed up a

53
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:51,640
Speaker 1: four year, eight plus million dollar stitching and said he

54
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 1: want to hunt. It was no more All Star. He

55
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,080
Speaker 1: can't get an All Star game. That's over, right, you

56
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:00,040
Speaker 1: can't make an All NBA team that's over. So the

57
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 1: only way that you could prove you worked this, honey,

58
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:05,920
Speaker 1: is right now where it matters the most. Remember CP,

59
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 1: we we spoke to CP and he was really high

60
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 1: on Shooter because they played together last year in Oklahoma City,

61
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 1: and he said he was a competitor, loved him, loved

62
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 1: his heart, loved his dogs. So I'm definitely looking forward

63
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 1: to that matchup. But I think you make a great point.

64
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 1: Aiden's first time in the playoffs, although books first time

65
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. Two Books got some years on this.

66
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 1: But it's gonna be a big challenge for Aiden because

67
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:24,919
Speaker 1: not only he's gonna have to play defense, but he's

68
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:28,359
Speaker 1: gonna have to produce offensively as well. Um, two completely

69
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:31,640
Speaker 1: different contrasting styles. I mean, Phoenix is gonna get up

70
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 1: and down. That's not really the Lakers game. UM. I

71
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 1: definitely think it's gonna be a competitive series. I see

72
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,839
Speaker 1: it going six for the Lakers. But like I said,

73
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 1: I like like Jack said, I don't think it's gonna

74
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 1: be sweet by any means. I think it's gonna be

75
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 1: a battle. This is also a different type of matchup

76
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 1: from a standpoint of the stars on the team don't

77
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 1: really get to match up. You know, Lebron is a

78
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,839
Speaker 1: three point forward, and and and E D s or four,

79
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 1: CP and Book are one and two, so the stars

80
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,119
Speaker 1: won't really get a chance to match up. But who

81
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 1: is your Jack? Who you who is your ex factor?

82
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 1: Um in the in this series, I would have to say, Ayton,

83
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 1: I mean that just that just makes the most sense.

84
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 1: If you look at the team, if you look at

85
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 1: the dynamic of the team and what Chris Paul and

86
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 1: Book of Ring. You know, you have a scorer, you

87
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 1: have a creator somebody and Chris Paul's gonna run the team.

88
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 1: You gotta have somebody down paint that's gonna make a presence,

89
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 1: that's gonna get some rebounds, block some shots, make some noise,

90
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,160
Speaker 1: do something, you know what I mean, And and this

91
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 1: and this and this presidence might not be just points.

92
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 1: It might be dunking on somebody and changing the momentum.

93
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 1: It might be something like that. But he has to

94
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 1: be a force in the paint. But I don't even

95
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,280
Speaker 1: have a chance in the series. So part we all

96
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 1: have the Lakers. Uh taking this serious? But what do

97
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 1: you think Phoenix has to do to push this to

98
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 1: six or seven games? I think, you know, I think

99
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 1: they got a limit their mistakes, right, They have the

100
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 1: limit their mistakes. When you when when you think about

101
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,039
Speaker 1: you know, being in the right spot at the right time.

102
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,919
Speaker 1: When you look at Phoenix towards the end of the season,

103
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 1: they rank number one for was like giving up drives,

104
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 1: Like the guys were just blowed by them. So they

105
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,039
Speaker 1: got to stop there because they were putting too much

106
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 1: pressure on eighting and he was getting the foul trouble.

107
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 1: I just think, just continue to be a star in

108
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,159
Speaker 1: your role, like when you when when I think about

109
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:18,279
Speaker 1: the Phoenix Suns, the great thing I loved, I loved

110
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:22,040
Speaker 1: about them is from the jump they established their identity

111
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:24,479
Speaker 1: and I think Money Williams did a great job of

112
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:28,160
Speaker 1: established them roles right. So each guy know their roles already,

113
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 1: so you know, when playoffs come, some guys may try

114
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 1: to step outside they body. I don't see Phoenix doing that.

115
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 1: I see guys coming in and doing what they do right,

116
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:40,040
Speaker 1: what they've been doing all season long. And I just

117
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 1: think they just have to beat themselves. I just think

118
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 1: they outmatch right. They're gonna come out there, they're gonna

119
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 1: be sound Chris Paul as a leader. They're gonna do

120
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:52,360
Speaker 1: what they're supposed to do offensively and defensively. They just

121
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 1: out match right now. Like especially in the interior, you

122
00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:00,799
Speaker 1: think Drumming should have his way too, Like he should,

123
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 1: like he's been on his he's been on this fucking

124
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,600
Speaker 1: worldwide tour when he got bought out, like you know,

125
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:10,839
Speaker 1: taking phone calls and visiting blazes, and like you gotta

126
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,479
Speaker 1: show up. I think the x facts are not only

127
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 1: in this series, but I think throughout the playoffs that

128
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 1: the Lakers are gonna need to lean on his Kyle Kuzma.

129
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:19,920
Speaker 1: Who's that going to be that consistent third option is

130
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 1: It's gonna be Shrewder Kuzma. But Kuzma can do it

131
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 1: on both ends as well as Shrewder can do it

132
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 1: on both ends. But I definitely think uh Kuzma played

133
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 1: well when A B and Brahn were down. Obviously a

134
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 1: shot attempt for up as minuture Rup, So how can

135
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 1: he readjust his role understanding that the two superstars are back,

136
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:36,480
Speaker 1: but he still has to be aggressive and effective. And

137
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 1: I think not only in this series, but I think

138
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 1: throughout the playoffs, if they're gonna head to the championship,

139
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:42,039
Speaker 1: I think Kuzma is gonna have to have a major

140
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 1: playoff run. Next matchup, we have the number three Dinver

141
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:49,839
Speaker 1: Nuggets first the number six Blazers. If we recalled two

142
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 1: years ago, um, this was the series that Portland one

143
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 1: in Game seven in Denver to go to the Western Finals,

144
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 1: so this should be an exciting matchup. Obviously, Jamal Murray

145
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 1: is down, but not unexpected or surprising, but Michael porter

146
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,040
Speaker 1: J has really stepped up. He was someone I've said

147
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 1: that I love his game. I just think he needs

148
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 1: more raps, more opportunity, more minutes, and he's gotten that

149
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 1: now and he hasn't disappointed. So let's talk about this series.

150
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 1: What's your outlook on this serious part. I think it's

151
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 1: going seven. I think it's going seven. I mean, just

152
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 1: because Denver, they're so hard to guard, right, you already

153
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 1: have yoga choose. I mean great Popovich called them the

154
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 1: modern day Larry Birden. I thought he was crazy when

155
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 1: he saw when he said it, but then when you

156
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 1: watch him play, I mean we haven't really witnessed anything

157
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 1: like him, right, he played. The pace slows down to

158
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 1: his face, right, and the way that guys cut and

159
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 1: move without the ball that sound defensively. And they don't

160
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 1: have a lot of household names, especially without Jamal Murray,

161
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 1: but they have a lot of guys that could actually

162
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 1: who like you have this little point guard. I can't

163
00:07:56,040 --> 00:08:00,040
Speaker 1: pronounce his name. He's a old rookie. He's coming in.

164
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 1: He's providing great minutes, right Cozo, Yeah, you know, you

165
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 1: know you know them for him now, he's because throw

166
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 1: me off a little bit Gobazo, Yeah, Gobazo, that's him.

167
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 1: But I think the Blazers winning seven just because of

168
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 1: of Dane Dollard and c J. McCullen, but also I

169
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 1: think Carmelo man like mellow. No one is talking about it,

170
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 1: but I understand Jordan Clarkson and Dard Rose, but you

171
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 1: talk about a six Man of the Year candidate. He's

172
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 1: been awesome for them off the bench. I think Nurki

173
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 1: is just finding his way. They just have more depth,

174
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:39,840
Speaker 1: They have more death. Norman Pole like Portland could just

175
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 1: put up a hundred and forty on you. They don't

176
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 1: even have to play defense that I mean, they had

177
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:46,680
Speaker 1: that minute weapons. But that's the one thing important is

178
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:49,080
Speaker 1: they haven't been able to consistently stay healthy. It seems

179
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 1: like they have everybody back healthy now. Um, coming into

180
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 1: this series, Jack, what do you think the key to

181
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 1: First of all, how far? How far you think this

182
00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 1: series will go? I say six? I say Blazers and

183
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 1: six We got two Blazers and and what your reasoning

184
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:10,320
Speaker 1: behind that? Well, I just think the hungry team, the

185
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 1: more experienced team. Yakis can't do it by himself. He's great. Um,

186
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 1: I'm never counting him out, but I just know the

187
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:23,440
Speaker 1: way Portland has been through the ring and up and

188
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 1: down the last couple of years in the playoffs where

189
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:29,720
Speaker 1: they've been injured, you know what I mean, and having

190
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 1: guys in and out the line up everybody's healthy. Now

191
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 1: we haven't seen this and this is that this is

192
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 1: the moment for them to turn the corner with a

193
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 1: beat up Nuggets team without having married. I think this

194
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 1: is their time to get a good field this first round,

195
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:45,679
Speaker 1: beat them and go into that second round feeling good.

196
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 1: I think this is the year. This is a tough matchup.

197
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:50,079
Speaker 1: I mean, I like both these teams. I mean, we

198
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:55,080
Speaker 1: got to two people picked the under the six seed, huh. Interested.

199
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:56,439
Speaker 1: I mean it's tough. I mean it's tough to match

200
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 1: up with Damon c jack Um. I think Nurkic is

201
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,960
Speaker 1: gonna be huge in this series because they haven't had

202
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:04,080
Speaker 1: his presence around, and you know, when he was healthy,

203
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 1: he was he was doing games, you know, so he's

204
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 1: gonna be a big I like to pick up of

205
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 1: Norman Powell. I'm interested to see how Aaron Gordon does.

206
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 1: If I'm not mistaken, this as his first playoffs, even

207
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 1: though he's got a handful of years under his belt

208
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:20,959
Speaker 1: and Michael Porter Jr. Really having the rope. Now, Obviously,

209
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:22,560
Speaker 1: last year we all know what Jamal Murray did in

210
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 1: the bubble. I mean, he became a superstar last year

211
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 1: in the bubble. So to not have that kind of

212
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 1: firepower going into the playoffs, granted they went thirteen and

213
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:32,199
Speaker 1: four with Murray out, the playoffs are a different monster.

214
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:36,679
Speaker 1: So I'm interested to see how Jokers supporting cast plays

215
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 1: um perk. Do you have a key matchup in this

216
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:43,080
Speaker 1: series that you're watching? You know what I do. But

217
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 1: I wanted to add to the Stax point about Portland.

218
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 1: They got a lot of pressure on them this season.

219
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:51,360
Speaker 1: Like to me, this is a make up break season

220
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 1: for them, Like if they don't if they kind of

221
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 1: don't reach the finals, it's like do you break up

222
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:00,439
Speaker 1: c J and Dame? Like that is to the point

223
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:02,720
Speaker 1: right now, like how long are you going to continue

224
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 1: to let this rock out? All this? They ain't go

225
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 1: moving around. Know he said he's not that guy, but

226
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 1: sometimes you know, you having to make moves. That's a

227
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:13,840
Speaker 1: great point. We're definitely gonna talk about that later. Like

228
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:16,319
Speaker 1: what teams have the most pressure? I think Portland is

229
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 1: definitely one of those teams because they have it, has

230
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 1: it run its course with Damon c J or have

231
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 1: they not been healthy enough? Have that they continue to

232
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 1: run into that Warrior's team to kind of stop them

233
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 1: from doing what they're gonna do it at times. So

234
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:30,560
Speaker 1: that's a great point. I think it's a uh, you know,

235
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 1: definitely a big playoff series for uh them. But who's

236
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 1: your key matchup in this you know what I'm looking

237
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to the big Nurkic and Yo kids

238
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 1: go at it. I mean, Nurkic was traded because of Yoki, right,

239
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 1: they got him about it there and I tweeted something.

240
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 1: I tweeted something. I said, the youngest valid tuns was

241
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:55,960
Speaker 1: the most underrated big in my opinion in the league

242
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:59,559
Speaker 1: because he don't get talked about enough. And Nurkus replied, like,

243
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 1: you know, like a yawning emotion, like he feels some

244
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 1: type of way. So now you get to prove it. Yeah,

245
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:09,680
Speaker 1: you get away, uh stack X factor in this series.

246
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 1: For me, it's Dane. It's Dame because you know, damn Dame.

247
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 1: Just like last year, Dang going off three or four

248
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 1: or forties and fifties in a row. You know what,

249
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:21,320
Speaker 1: I mean if he in his bag like that, we

250
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 1: know he's not the type of player that does not

251
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:27,319
Speaker 1: show up in the playoffs. They just haven't one. He

252
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 1: show up all the time. We just have it one.

253
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 1: So he's my ex factor. If he go out there

254
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 1: and just explode like we know he can do this,

255
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 1: this this series won't even be close. So we've got

256
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:40,960
Speaker 1: two people picking the sixth seed seed. I'm gonna pick

257
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 1: the I'm gonna pick this up. I'm always rolling the Dame.

258
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:45,559
Speaker 1: I'm sucking with day that. I think that, you know,

259
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 1: the Warriors stopped them from doing a lot of stuff

260
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 1: in the Western Conference and then injuries have plagued them

261
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:54,199
Speaker 1: a lot. But with you know, healthy going into the playoffs.

262
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 1: I think I said it a few weeks agoing to Jump.

263
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:59,080
Speaker 1: I think that that the Trailblazers for my sleeper team

264
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 1: in the West, like be surprised if these motherfucker's get

265
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 1: how to make a run to the finals because they

266
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 1: have all the pieces and another finally healthy. Al Right,

267
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:10,719
Speaker 1: Next up, our next matchup between the l A Clippers

268
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:14,559
Speaker 1: versus Dallas Mavericks on the Radar, presented to you by

269
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 1: Draft Kings. This is a matchup that we saw in

270
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:20,960
Speaker 1: the bubble last year that the Clippers almost gave away. Uh,

271
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 1: Luca was on one um. The one thing I like

272
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 1: about the Clippers this year is I would say I

273
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:29,199
Speaker 1: think they had too much hype. As a former Clipper,

274
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:32,560
Speaker 1: they're never used to talk about winning a division or

275
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 1: winning a championship. That might have been too much pressure on.

276
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:38,560
Speaker 1: But I think this year, you know, getting Tylu, adding

277
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 1: some key pieces. I think they've been flying under the

278
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:43,679
Speaker 1: radar the whole entire season, kind of just getting their

279
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,559
Speaker 1: ship together now for this moment. Some people say they

280
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 1: lost two games in a row so they didn't have

281
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 1: to see the Lagers. Whatever, the face that fact is

282
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:52,560
Speaker 1: now you can't run from nobody now. So the playoffs

283
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 1: are here. They got a tough first round matchup against Dallas.

284
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 1: Jack thoughts on this series. It's gonna be a good one,

285
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:01,839
Speaker 1: man think. The best thing about it, The best thing

286
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 1: for the Clippers was Luca punished them last year and

287
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:08,000
Speaker 1: this year when they played, so they know it's coming.

288
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 1: They prepared. They know we can't have another let down,

289
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:13,400
Speaker 1: we can't let an egg and we know Luca it's

290
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:15,959
Speaker 1: all they got basically, you know what I mean? So

291
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 1: we're gonna we're gonna see if they if they can

292
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 1: lock up on defense. We know they can score. But

293
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:22,920
Speaker 1: I just think that the fact that Luca been killing

294
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 1: them for like the last eight times they played, I

295
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 1: think they I think they're gonna come with their game

296
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 1: face on and do what they gotta do and win

297
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 1: the series maybe in six. Mmm. You know what, I'm

298
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 1: a little scared for the Clippers, man. I ain't gonna

299
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 1: lie like I'm scared because this is kind of like

300
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 1: a little robbery, right Luca from what they did last

301
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 1: year in the bubble. And by the way, you know

302
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 1: Tlu my god, man, he's my brother. But it's okay, right,

303
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 1: we we we know that the Clippers lost those games,

304
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 1: those last two games of the regular season on purpose.

305
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:58,000
Speaker 1: We know that, like, like, let's keep it a bugging.

306
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 1: It's okay, you're trying to position your self to get

307
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 1: and it's all right. I get it. But when I

308
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:07,240
Speaker 1: when I look at it, I'm I'm kind of concerned

309
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 1: about the Clippers, man, because one, Kauai doesn't look healthy, right,

310
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 1: Paul George didn't finish the last part of the season

311
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 1: strong at all. He did not look good. And then

312
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 1: surgery Baker coming back and then coming back in to

313
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 1: me with Pat Bell. One point is I think it's

314
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 1: like they may have too much, if that makes sense,

315
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 1: they got too much. Like at some point it's gonna

316
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 1: have to be ald eight to nine man rotations. Somebody's

317
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 1: gonna get left out, right, somebody's gonna get left out.

318
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 1: They're super deep. So I mean, like you go, you're

319
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 1: gonna play Reggie Jackson, You're gonna play Pat Bell, You're

320
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 1: gonna play Rondo like you gotta make a decision. You're

321
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 1: gonna play book your cousins he's been playing well for you.

322
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 1: Or you gotta play serge because it's coming from the

323
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 1: front office. You're gonna play big zoo box like you

324
00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:00,200
Speaker 1: got these decisions to make, right. But then when you

325
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 1: look at Dallas last year in the Bubble Prosingas and Luca,

326
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:07,880
Speaker 1: they were the high scoring duo in the Bubble last

327
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 1: when healthy, both of them was averaging thirty and we

328
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 1: saw that series was going with Pazingers in there, right,

329
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 1: and then you you look at this Dallas team. I

330
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:21,960
Speaker 1: don't I don't really recall out like that, but I

331
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 1: mean it is what it is. I look at this

332
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 1: Dallas team, and they have a lot of guys like you,

333
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:32,160
Speaker 1: my Tim Hardaway. You said that Matt when we were

334
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 1: on the jump. And then you think about Bronson, right,

335
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:40,360
Speaker 1: nobody like he's been flying on. Yeah, he played hardest fuck.

336
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 1: And then and then you got like Cleveland who could

337
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 1: stretch the floor. You got, uh the kid trade that

338
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:52,720
Speaker 1: that Trey Bird's right, who's he played extremely well in

339
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 1: the bubble. He didn't not back down from Josh Richardson

340
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 1: finding his stride. And then Dallas you gotta feel something

341
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 1: type but way because the team basically tanked the last

342
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:07,359
Speaker 1: two games just to play. So the Clippers you gotta

343
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 1: be careful. So with this being said, you still got

344
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 1: the Clippers. Okay, I got the MAVs and seven. The

345
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 1: key to this for me is Porzingis. We know that

346
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:23,359
Speaker 1: Luca no matter Kauai is on him, Pauls on him. Uh,

347
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:25,199
Speaker 1: lucas gonna do what he does. Who's going to be

348
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 1: that consistent night and night out second option? And Porzingis

349
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 1: has the talent, he's just been inconsistent and injured. Um

350
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:34,200
Speaker 1: like you said, the number one scoring doing the bubble

351
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:38,119
Speaker 1: last year? Um important. I loved Tim Hardaway Jr. I

352
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 1: like Dallas's team, but I also like the fact that

353
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:44,119
Speaker 1: the Clippers, to your point, may have a lot of

354
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 1: bodies to play, but to me, that's a good problem

355
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 1: to have. Is gonna have to handle that problem, but

356
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 1: it's I'd rather have too much than not enough, and

357
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 1: they had definitely have too much, so adding Rondo, adding Boogie.

358
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 1: And then there are another team like Portland, although I

359
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:59,920
Speaker 1: haven't been together as long as Portland's, the Clippers of

360
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,120
Speaker 1: been under the clock, under the watch. What's this team

361
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 1: gonna do with these two superstars that came here, So

362
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:07,200
Speaker 1: this is that there's more pressure. Also, what's Paul gonna

363
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:08,960
Speaker 1: do in the playoffs? He came on this couch. It

364
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:10,880
Speaker 1: was very confident and had a great season, like he said,

365
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 1: although he didn't finish as strong as he should have.

366
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:16,280
Speaker 1: Um had a great season, but had a message for

367
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:18,359
Speaker 1: the world that he's here, he's back, he's healthy. So

368
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 1: we want to see that in the playoffs as well. So, um,

369
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 1: key matchup? Who's your guys? Key match up in this series?

370
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:29,119
Speaker 1: M I mean, you gotta it. Gotta be Luca, You

371
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:33,359
Speaker 1: gotta be Luca and Paul George, right, like we gotta

372
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:37,359
Speaker 1: expect PG to guard Luca. We gotta expect, well, Luca

373
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:41,200
Speaker 1: go to smoke. He's not gonna guarden body. But I mean,

374
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:43,199
Speaker 1: if you're just talking about head to head, that's the

375
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:46,640
Speaker 1: matchup I want to see because Kauai is not healthy, right,

376
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 1: He's not gonna be the Kauai that we saw last

377
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 1: year in the Bubble. So I think the stage is

378
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:55,560
Speaker 1: said for Paul George to redeem himself from last year.

379
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 1: And it's also said to see if Luca was a

380
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:02,440
Speaker 1: fluke or he's gonna to duplicate what he did last

381
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 1: year in the Bubble. So that's my key matchup Jack

382
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 1: X factor in this series. Thanks fact that I'm gonna

383
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:09,800
Speaker 1: Boogie Cousins and book you can get out there and

384
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 1: and and get a fifteen fifteen night the whole series,

385
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:15,560
Speaker 1: and they can feed him and he getting in his bag.

386
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a problem because personas ain't ain't tough

387
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:20,879
Speaker 1: enough to guard Boogie and the Bookie can do that.

388
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:23,119
Speaker 1: That's gonna open up the floor for the guards for

389
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:25,639
Speaker 1: Paul George. Why do they things so Bookie can come

390
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 1: in and be dominant. He might expect he's gonna help

391
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 1: him a lot I love that I got the Clippers

392
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 1: in six so you don't have to see next matchup.

393
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 1: We have the number one you taught Jazz versus the

394
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 1: number eight Memphis Grizzlies. What do you think that you have?

395
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:42,480
Speaker 1: I think you had off camera you had a great

396
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 1: comment of of why that you think the playing came about.

397
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:48,200
Speaker 1: Let's hear your your reasoning behind it. I just feel

398
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:52,000
Speaker 1: like with the player in right, every action has a reaction.

399
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:56,400
Speaker 1: And I think guys and I'm not gonna call their

400
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:59,240
Speaker 1: names out, but they know who they are. They started

401
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:02,160
Speaker 1: the low man just been ship right, and so all

402
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 1: of a sudden, I think the playing tournament, in my opinion,

403
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:09,640
Speaker 1: is a is A is a good idea because it

404
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:14,359
Speaker 1: holds players and organizations accountable, not to take the regular

405
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 1: season for granted. No more. Right so, like when we

406
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:20,159
Speaker 1: were playing, we used to look forward to playing every

407
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:22,800
Speaker 1: single night, Like when you're talking about we was trying

408
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 1: to play eighty two games, and we were trying to

409
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:28,399
Speaker 1: compete for eighty two games. Right, It's not like that.

410
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:32,240
Speaker 1: No more guys looking on the schedule coming into coaches,

411
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:35,480
Speaker 1: I ain't playing a night. Well, first of all, if

412
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:38,640
Speaker 1: it wasn't a pandemic, and you got fans that are

413
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 1: coming back into the stands, and you've got people out

414
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:44,920
Speaker 1: there who are not millionnaires, who are not making six

415
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:48,160
Speaker 1: figures or whatever, who are paying their hard earned money

416
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 1: to come in and pay to see a certain player

417
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:53,240
Speaker 1: play the game of basketball. And all of a sudden

418
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:55,160
Speaker 1: they go there and it's a late scratch and they're

419
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:58,880
Speaker 1: really not injured. It's really because the LOLd management, you're

420
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:04,359
Speaker 1: cheating the fans. I mean, Vanessa Bryant said it at

421
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:07,880
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame ceremony. She said it that Cole

422
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:11,879
Speaker 1: wanted to go out there every single night and play

423
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:14,439
Speaker 1: banged up or whatever for the people that was in

424
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:17,600
Speaker 1: the three hundred sections. So I think that this is

425
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:20,520
Speaker 1: why I like to play in tournament, because if it

426
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 1: makes you want compete every single night in the regular season.

427
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:28,200
Speaker 1: So now, don't don't don't get to that seven or

428
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:31,040
Speaker 1: eight spot where you gotta play in that ship. Solidify

429
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:34,159
Speaker 1: your spot early six and up. But back to this

430
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 1: young Memphis team. Seven players averaging double figures. Uh utah,

431
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:42,480
Speaker 1: and paper looks great. Uh you know, number three in

432
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 1: defensive rating, number four in offensive rating, Leather League, and

433
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 1: made threes. Big question again, is Donovan Mitchell and Mike

434
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:53,400
Speaker 1: Conley going to be healthy enough to chase around this young, athletic,

435
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:59,440
Speaker 1: up tempo Memphis Grizzlies team park Yeah, I see this.

436
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:03,920
Speaker 1: I in this series going six. Memphis is not gonna

437
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,840
Speaker 1: lay down. I see you talk winning in six. But

438
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:09,639
Speaker 1: this Memphis team ain't got one of the most underrated

439
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:14,359
Speaker 1: backcourts in the game, Dealing Brooks and John Morant and

440
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 1: and and when you look at the big fellow down

441
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 1: there in the middle of your onest Vaunta tumors, he's

442
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:22,400
Speaker 1: averaging seventeen and fourteen the night. That's what he's giving

443
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:25,159
Speaker 1: you a night, every single night. And then you have

444
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:30,359
Speaker 1: slow moo, right, slow mo Kyle Inerson he has, he's

445
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:33,360
Speaker 1: been giving you a solid thirteen fourteen points a night

446
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:36,919
Speaker 1: at the wing position. You got Clark Jaren Jackson Jr.

447
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:39,880
Speaker 1: So and they feisty like they want to be here.

448
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:42,960
Speaker 1: John Morant plays with a lot of swag, but he

449
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:47,399
Speaker 1: carries himself. He like like he carries himself like you

450
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 1: got us fucked up and I love it. But like

451
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:54,919
Speaker 1: he's on social media like yeah, y'all tripping like we're coming,

452
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:57,879
Speaker 1: and you gotta love that about him, But I just

453
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:02,199
Speaker 1: think the Jazz experience their dev Let's go, go, go

454
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 1: six games. I give it to the Jet. Thoughts on

455
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:10,359
Speaker 1: this young athletic Memphis team, I'm calling upset, upset alert. Yeah,

456
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:13,719
Speaker 1: I'm calling upset just for the reason he said, Alan Shunis.

457
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:15,760
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna be a bigger factor than Rudy

458
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:18,440
Speaker 1: Gobert in this series. I think he's gonna dominate the

459
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:21,520
Speaker 1: paint um. He's gonna punk Rudy Gobert. And I think,

460
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:25,040
Speaker 1: just like Jibs on social media, tell y'all, y'all sleeping

461
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:28,240
Speaker 1: on us. I had that feeling before, and we said

462
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 1: the same thing when they slept on us and we

463
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:31,720
Speaker 1: shocked the world. So I think I think John was

464
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:35,000
Speaker 1: capable of doing the same thing. Upset here eight one upset,

465
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:38,240
Speaker 1: huh yeah, I'm out of Yeah. I mean, like I said,

466
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:40,880
Speaker 1: Memphis has a lot of weapons, a lot of young

467
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 1: and sometimes being young works for you because you just

468
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 1: don't know no better. Like if we're going out here

469
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,040
Speaker 1: to Hooper Guard, it don't matter whether we're yet, what

470
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 1: the score, what the series is, We're just going out

471
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:51,359
Speaker 1: here to play. And then they have a young a

472
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:54,000
Speaker 1: lot of young players that can do that. So definitely

473
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 1: interesting series. I got you tall Man, I got you

474
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:03,080
Speaker 1: talk to to seven. All right, Now we're gonna bounce

475
00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 1: over to the Eastern Conference where we have the number

476
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:12,840
Speaker 1: one seed Philadelphia seventy Sixers versus number eight seed Washington Wizards. Uh.

477
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:15,080
Speaker 1: I come in the Wizards first and foremost. I mean

478
00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 1: they were in the gutter. A lot of people talking

479
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 1: about Brad Biell needs to leave. I was one of them.

480
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 1: Westbrook injured early but came out and had a tremendous season.

481
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:29,639
Speaker 1: Thoughts on this, but then again, Sixers, Uh in b

482
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:33,440
Speaker 1: the boys? What Doc has them doing? I really liked

483
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 1: the seventy sixers and we haven't really talked much about them.

484
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:38,800
Speaker 1: Thoughts on this first round match up, park Man. I

485
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:41,719
Speaker 1: hate to say, y'all know how I feel about Russ

486
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:44,840
Speaker 1: the Brody. I mean, he's a problem. I think you

487
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 1: know when you talk about being one of the most

488
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:51,720
Speaker 1: ferocious players, right, he probably is dead in the league, right,

489
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:56,199
Speaker 1: Guys that like he intimidates you when he walked into gym.

490
00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 1: But with that being said, I got the sixtis in five,

491
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:04,680
Speaker 1: Like it's just because the Wizards that they don't play defense.

492
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 1: Like they don't play no defense at all. But the

493
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 1: seventies six is like when you think about how many

494
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:14,320
Speaker 1: bodies they could throw at Russell Westbrook and Bradley Bill

495
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 1: you got, you got, you got Tobias Harris, Ben Simmons,

496
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:23,920
Speaker 1: you got even Danny Green, you got uh Ty Boats

497
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:28,840
Speaker 1: who's coming in off the bench and look Milton, shade Milton.

498
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:33,200
Speaker 1: But Bill gave them fifty this year. Yeah, he did,

499
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:39,200
Speaker 1: he did, He did, he did, he did. But Ben Simmons,

500
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:43,440
Speaker 1: I think he's not. But but Bill not healthy those stacks.

501
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:46,960
Speaker 1: That's the only reason I'm I'm saying that. That's the

502
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 1: only reason I said in five and then they just

503
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 1: don't have answers for for Big and b Like they

504
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:56,159
Speaker 1: don't have an answer for him at all, Like he

505
00:25:56,320 --> 00:26:02,080
Speaker 1: just right know but but like we were saying the

506
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:05,760
Speaker 1: other day, what MB will we see though? Will he

507
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:09,400
Speaker 1: be shock and beat? You know? You know I called

508
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 1: him a two hundred and seventy five pound version of

509
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 1: the King alajo on like because he, I mean, his

510
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:19,640
Speaker 1: foot work if you watch this game, I mean, yeah,

511
00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:24,080
Speaker 1: it's sick, it's sick. I just I just think Doc

512
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:28,040
Speaker 1: got these guys attention, right, And I think it was

513
00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:30,840
Speaker 1: best for both worlds, right for Dr Leeve l A

514
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 1: and I think Doc they had bought into what Doctor

515
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:37,639
Speaker 1: is preaching over the like Tobias Harris is having his

516
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:41,119
Speaker 1: best season. You know what I mean, self curage. We

517
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:45,239
Speaker 1: talked about stuff obviously, but you got self fucked up

518
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:47,440
Speaker 1: what I'm saying on both ends of the form, and

519
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:48,960
Speaker 1: we both got a chance to play for Doc. I

520
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 1: think the one thing Doctor is the greatest encouraging players

521
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:53,840
Speaker 1: and like laying them roles on what's his thing? To

522
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:55,720
Speaker 1: be a star in your role? It looks like everyone

523
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:57,480
Speaker 1: over there knows what the they're supposed to be doing.

524
00:26:57,520 --> 00:26:58,840
Speaker 1: We had Doc on the show and the first thing

525
00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:01,520
Speaker 1: he told me it was not tripping off your shooting three.

526
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:03,639
Speaker 1: Just continue to be the best of you. Beat you

527
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:06,520
Speaker 1: you want to shoot three, shoot them, but continue to

528
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:09,199
Speaker 1: be you. Um. I like this Philly team. You know,

529
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:11,120
Speaker 1: obviously a lot of attention in the East has gone

530
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:13,440
Speaker 1: towards the Nets, but this Philly team has flown under

531
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:15,600
Speaker 1: the radar bit consistent all season. And I think the

532
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:18,840
Speaker 1: biggest key is, like Jack said, which mbat are we

533
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:22,480
Speaker 1: gonna get? Um? Obviously not a knock on Washington. Uh,

534
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:23,960
Speaker 1: you know, like I said, hats off to them for

535
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:25,760
Speaker 1: their grind, but I just don't think they have enough

536
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:27,879
Speaker 1: outside of not playing devins and Bill is not a

537
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:31,879
Speaker 1: healthy It was gonna take healthy Bill and Rust to

538
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:34,200
Speaker 1: average thirty a game to even make this a series,

539
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:35,960
Speaker 1: and I don't know if they're gonna both be able

540
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 1: to do that. So I too have Actually I got

541
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:41,160
Speaker 1: this as a sweet to be honest with you, Jack

542
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:45,199
Speaker 1: key matchup in this series, key matchup, it's hard to

543
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:49,240
Speaker 1: go with Bill. You gotta go Simmons and Russ. I'm

544
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 1: pretty sure Simmons is gonna guard Rust and uh trying

545
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:55,040
Speaker 1: to keep him down, try to keep him his trouble

546
00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:57,560
Speaker 1: double numbers down. But it's gonna be good to see

547
00:27:57,600 --> 00:28:00,119
Speaker 1: them go at it. So what do you have? You have?

548
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:04,240
Speaker 1: You have the sixers? I have the sixers in five

549
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:08,200
Speaker 1: I feel I felt like Russ is good enough and

550
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:10,680
Speaker 1: even an unhealthy Bill, they're good enough to pull off one.

551
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:15,359
Speaker 1: Definitely not matter that. Next series we have the number

552
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:18,639
Speaker 1: two Brooklyn Nets, who most have favored to win the

553
00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:24,720
Speaker 1: championship first to Boston Celtics. Obviously, losing Jason Brown was

554
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:26,840
Speaker 1: a big hit to the Celtics down the stretch. We

555
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 1: all saw that Jayson Tatum had to drop a fifty

556
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:33,240
Speaker 1: ball to secure that seventh seed. In the playing situation,

557
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:37,160
Speaker 1: um Nets, they haven't had their core three big three

558
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:40,240
Speaker 1: really played more than ten games together this season. Thoughts

559
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:46,120
Speaker 1: on this series perk sweet sweet, Like and you know

560
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:49,000
Speaker 1: what I would have said, like maybe five or six

561
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:51,800
Speaker 1: for Boston because of Jayson Tatum and they still have

562
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:56,800
Speaker 1: Kimba Walker. But after listening to Brad Stevens comments after

563
00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 1: the game the other day, I'm like, nah, it's a

564
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 1: sweet like I was. I was wondering if he wanted

565
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:06,520
Speaker 1: to stop, retire, go coach for the Nets. You know,

566
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:11,680
Speaker 1: I'm very complimented too over like like when we're getting

567
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:14,240
Speaker 1: ready to go to war, like, what are you talking about? Yeah?

568
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:17,440
Speaker 1: To the casual fan, they just it's hard for them

569
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:20,040
Speaker 1: to lose. Like what he said, you don't see him losing. Yeah,

570
00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:23,680
Speaker 1: what the fund are you talking about it? Like? And

571
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:25,480
Speaker 1: then they're trying to say, oh, no, he's just trying

572
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 1: to get his team fired up. I'm like, no, Verse

573
00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:31,920
Speaker 1: psychology don't work with too many of the brothers. New

574
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:38,360
Speaker 1: Slash I don't work with the brothers, so uh Jack,

575
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 1: uh Yeah, I gotta I mean, I gotta go with sweep.

576
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:45,000
Speaker 1: I love Tatum. Uh this is the time when you

577
00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:47,640
Speaker 1: get what you've been asking for. The three of the

578
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:51,240
Speaker 1: Monster's coming. It's time where everybody's been waiting. Now it's coming,

579
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 1: So beware, and they're gonna do what they're supposed to do.

580
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:58,880
Speaker 1: I gotta sweep to them over Afrigan twenty in the

581
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:02,880
Speaker 1: last seven or eight Kimba consistent second score. Now that

582
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:05,840
Speaker 1: Tatum's out, excuse me, now that Brown is out. But

583
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:07,240
Speaker 1: I don't think any of that is going to be

584
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:10,520
Speaker 1: enough against this team. This team is just This team

585
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 1: is tough. Man, So I too agree with this week

586
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:18,200
Speaker 1: next matchup we have, Man, it kind of feels weird

587
00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:21,760
Speaker 1: saying this. The four seed New York Knicks versus the

588
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:26,080
Speaker 1: number five seed Atlanta Hawks. Uh. Man, can't give coach

589
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:28,920
Speaker 1: TIBs enough. I think he went out there implemented his

590
00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:31,400
Speaker 1: style with a little bit of flexibility. Have these dudes

591
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:34,600
Speaker 1: playing defense. Julius Randall, to me, is the most improved

592
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:37,800
Speaker 1: player in the NBA. On the flip side, Trey Young

593
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:40,720
Speaker 1: and Collins is a nice little duo. They have a

594
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:43,240
Speaker 1: lot of weapons on that side. Over there in Atlanta,

595
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 1: Nate McMillan. Yeah, I mean, shout out Nick mmell. Hawks

596
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:50,400
Speaker 1: went twenty six and eleven down the stretch with McMillan,

597
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:52,160
Speaker 1: which was the third best record in the in the

598
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:55,960
Speaker 1: league at the time. Trey Young is fully healthy. This

599
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:57,640
Speaker 1: is gonna be a fun series, Jack, talk to me

600
00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:00,960
Speaker 1: about this series. It's gonna be um. I gotta go

601
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:03,960
Speaker 1: on seven, but I don't have a winner. Both of

602
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:06,360
Speaker 1: these teams are new to the playoffs. Both of these

603
00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:08,480
Speaker 1: teams are young, both of these coaches and still trying

604
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:10,280
Speaker 1: to figure out what they're working with. Yeah, you both

605
00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:12,440
Speaker 1: teams have all stars. So this is gonna be a

606
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:16,400
Speaker 1: basically even series. We're gonna see what star shines brightness

607
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:18,880
Speaker 1: in this series and uh, and kind of separate themselves.

608
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:21,160
Speaker 1: And it's gonna be round him. Is it gonna be trade?

609
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:26,880
Speaker 1: We're gonna see, Man, this hard. It's going seven. But

610
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:30,000
Speaker 1: I got the Hawks. I got the Hawks beating the Knicks.

611
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:35,040
Speaker 1: I just at times the Knicks just can't score enough, right,

612
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:37,920
Speaker 1: and then at some point you gotta put up a

613
00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 1: lot of points and I get it right. The Knicks.

614
00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:44,160
Speaker 1: The Knicks one, Uh, they went three and oh against

615
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:47,720
Speaker 1: the Hawks, but Julius Ramta had to have forty plus

616
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 1: in two of those games. I don't know if he's

617
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:54,640
Speaker 1: capable of doing that with adjustments right at the power force,

618
00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:57,600
Speaker 1: like you know the power forward position, you need that

619
00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:02,000
Speaker 1: guard right there. Rose is obviously d Rose. But I'm

620
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:05,160
Speaker 1: looking at Trey Young, and I'm looking at him to

621
00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:09,920
Speaker 1: have that Jamal Murray effected you on the postseason, like

622
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:13,480
Speaker 1: he gets twenty five in his sleep. But I'm looking

623
00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 1: for him to really have a breakout postseason, like to

624
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:20,560
Speaker 1: go out there and shine. Look at Collins right got

625
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:22,960
Speaker 1: it's out there giving you eighteen and eight a night.

626
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:27,720
Speaker 1: Clint Capella ain'toring the defense. He's giving you fourteen and

627
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:31,760
Speaker 1: thirteen with two blocks. Then you have Lemon Pepper, Lulu

628
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:35,800
Speaker 1: Will coming in off the bench with Gayland like Bodanovich

629
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:39,280
Speaker 1: is giving you eighteen. The Hawks just have so so

630
00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:44,040
Speaker 1: much firepower that when it comes down possession by possession,

631
00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:46,959
Speaker 1: I just think that they could they just could go

632
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:49,920
Speaker 1: on those high streets that could pull them over the top.

633
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:51,920
Speaker 1: That's why I got the Hawks at seven. I think

634
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:53,560
Speaker 1: there's gonna be a really fun series. I think they're

635
00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:57,440
Speaker 1: evenly matched two contrasting styles. I mean the Hawks have

636
00:32:57,600 --> 00:32:59,480
Speaker 1: five or six guys and give you twenty at any

637
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:03,160
Speaker 1: given time. Hi Um, Like I said, I like Tibbs

638
00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:06,000
Speaker 1: experience in this team. Although they're new to this, this

639
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:08,240
Speaker 1: next team, it seems like they've really bought into that.

640
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:10,959
Speaker 1: And we all know the playoffs are about adjustments. So

641
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:13,360
Speaker 1: what is Atlanta gonna do when they're trapping Trey Young

642
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:14,760
Speaker 1: all over the floor? You know what I mean. I

643
00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:17,400
Speaker 1: think there's just small adjustments that Tids makes that's gonna

644
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:20,040
Speaker 1: give New York to edge. And looking for Julius Randall

645
00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:23,000
Speaker 1: to have a big series. Derek Derek Rose have a

646
00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:26,320
Speaker 1: big series. I got the Knicks and seven. Next up

647
00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:30,320
Speaker 1: we have the Milwaukee Bucks versus the number six Miami Heat.

648
00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:32,840
Speaker 1: This is a rematch from last year. I think Park,

649
00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:34,360
Speaker 1: me and you both picked this upset on the on

650
00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:37,360
Speaker 1: the jump. Last year we both we both had Miami

651
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:43,120
Speaker 1: beating which I won't pick it. I won't pick that same. Yeah,

652
00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:45,840
Speaker 1: we can't wait to hear it this. The Bucks have

653
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:48,520
Speaker 1: been my one team that I said, similar to the

654
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:50,160
Speaker 1: Clippers in the West that have been floating under the

655
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:53,240
Speaker 1: radar switching up lineups. Janie has been on this ship.

656
00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:56,120
Speaker 1: Adding Drew Holiday is obviously going to be a huge

657
00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:59,480
Speaker 1: piece of their success, and I think it's it's their

658
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:03,520
Speaker 1: time to make that jump. Perk tell me about this series. Man,

659
00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:05,840
Speaker 1: it's hard for me to go against them goons from

660
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:12,239
Speaker 1: Dade County, Jimmy Butler right down. But I got the

661
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:15,200
Speaker 1: Bucks in six. I got the Bucks in six. I

662
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:17,239
Speaker 1: actually got the Bucks coming out of the East. To

663
00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:20,120
Speaker 1: be honest with you, I think they have everything that

664
00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:23,839
Speaker 1: they need and more. Jannice, I mean we're watching them

665
00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:27,080
Speaker 1: take his jump shots in and knocked down three point shots.

666
00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:31,080
Speaker 1: But his playmaking ability has went to another level. Uh

667
00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:33,040
Speaker 1: you know, right after the All Star Game, he had

668
00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:36,239
Speaker 1: a stretch about five games where he was averaging a

669
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:39,719
Speaker 1: trip of double And I'm looking at this this this

670
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:44,320
Speaker 1: Bucks team, and Miami is gonna scrap. But the Bucks

671
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:49,799
Speaker 1: with with Drew Holiday like one of the best two

672
00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:53,000
Speaker 1: way players in the game today, Like strap up the

673
00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:56,560
Speaker 1: best of them. And then Chris Middleton a guy that

674
00:34:56,760 --> 00:35:00,920
Speaker 1: flies under the radar. Brooklow players U a guy that

675
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:03,800
Speaker 1: that that protects the basket who don't get enough credit

676
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:06,319
Speaker 1: for what he brings to the table. But I think

677
00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:11,319
Speaker 1: the thing that said the Bucks, apart from everybody else.

678
00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:14,000
Speaker 1: In my opinion, the two great additions that they had

679
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:18,879
Speaker 1: was Bobby Porter's and p J. Tucker, And not only

680
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:21,680
Speaker 1: for what they bring on the court, but now it's

681
00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:26,360
Speaker 1: no more punking than Milwaukee Bucks like Joannice and Chris

682
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:29,200
Speaker 1: Militon could look over and be like, now I got them,

683
00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:32,280
Speaker 1: I got I got some big brothers over there, because

684
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:36,040
Speaker 1: you know, like Bobby Porter's he bought that action. P J. Tucker,

685
00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:38,719
Speaker 1: he bought that action. So it's not like you, but

686
00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:41,680
Speaker 1: you're not about to punk him. And they gonna give

687
00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 1: you something on the court. Bobby Porters right now, he's

688
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:46,840
Speaker 1: giving you twelve and eight off the bench. Then the

689
00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:50,239
Speaker 1: Bucks could go small. Put Yannie at the fire, put

690
00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:53,600
Speaker 1: p J. Tucker the in that corner, and just tell

691
00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:55,920
Speaker 1: me how you're gonna stop Drew Holiday and Yannice in

692
00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:59,120
Speaker 1: the hot picking role, or even Chris Militant and Yannice

693
00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:01,800
Speaker 1: and the hot picking old. So I got the Bucks

694
00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:06,359
Speaker 1: and six, I'll say seven. Even though the Bucks kind

695
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:09,200
Speaker 1: of figured out their mistakes from last year. I think

696
00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:12,560
Speaker 1: they figured that out. They the only team that embarrassed

697
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:15,759
Speaker 1: Brooklyn back to back nights. Janice had fifty damn to

698
00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:18,560
Speaker 1: both nights, So they're feeling real confident coming in. I

699
00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:20,879
Speaker 1: don't I don't think they're looking over Miami, but they're

700
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:23,120
Speaker 1: coming into this series way confident that they did last

701
00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:24,840
Speaker 1: year when they played them, and they're gonna be a

702
00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:27,279
Speaker 1: different team. Bug got these guys playing different. Like you said,

703
00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:30,279
Speaker 1: with the dishes they made, they looked like a championship team.

704
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:32,680
Speaker 1: Now they have all the dynamics you know that they

705
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:35,440
Speaker 1: need to be a championship team. And even though I

706
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:37,600
Speaker 1: like Miami the heart of one of the hardest playing

707
00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:39,600
Speaker 1: teams in the league, you can't never kind of Jimmy button.

708
00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:41,319
Speaker 1: Look what they did last year, but this is a

709
00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:44,480
Speaker 1: whole new season. You're not surprising nobody. Now. Everybody knows

710
00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:46,800
Speaker 1: what y'all coming with. And Milwaukee don't want to have

711
00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:48,879
Speaker 1: no let downs. It's gonna be at seven games series,

712
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:51,680
Speaker 1: but I see Milwaukee win. I agree. I'm a huge

713
00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:53,920
Speaker 1: fan of of Miami for the way they play. You know,

714
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:57,200
Speaker 1: blue collar. Jimmy Butler is a blue collar superstar. I

715
00:36:57,239 --> 00:36:59,960
Speaker 1: mean that team goes as Jimmy goes. I think they're

716
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:02,920
Speaker 1: young shooters, had a little bit of finals hangover um,

717
00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:04,879
Speaker 1: but they finally woken up and started shoot the ball

718
00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:07,640
Speaker 1: like they're capable of shooting. I think av Avan, Adam

719
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:10,240
Speaker 1: Trevor Resa was a big pick up for them. Championship

720
00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:12,919
Speaker 1: experience at three and D guy. But with all that said,

721
00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:17,160
Speaker 1: I still got the bucks. Um. I think their additions

722
00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:20,279
Speaker 1: that you mentioned, Bobby Portis and p J. Tucker are

723
00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:22,600
Speaker 1: gonna be huge just for that reason they're gonna give

724
00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:24,920
Speaker 1: you they're gonna production. But I think just the ability

725
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:27,239
Speaker 1: that the nice and the boys know that they've got

726
00:37:27,280 --> 00:37:29,719
Speaker 1: some dogs and the kennel with them are going to

727
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:31,719
Speaker 1: be very important. Um. And then I think a lot

728
00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:34,040
Speaker 1: of pressure is going to be taken off of Janice

729
00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:37,160
Speaker 1: from a standpoint of now you know I'm gonna be

730
00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:39,080
Speaker 1: in the pick and row, I'm maybe be Drew Holiday

731
00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:40,799
Speaker 1: is someone who could definitely hit a lot of these

732
00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:42,759
Speaker 1: big shots that people have been looking for Jannice to

733
00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:44,560
Speaker 1: hit or put Like you said that that that pick

734
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:46,279
Speaker 1: and roll, that want four pick and roll is gonna

735
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:52,680
Speaker 1: be murder. So I got the bucks and six as well.

736
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:56,080
Speaker 1: Now we have our picks for the Eastern Finals, Western Finals,

737
00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:59,480
Speaker 1: and then finally the championship. Park. Let's start with you, Park,

738
00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:03,200
Speaker 1: who do you have in the Eastern Conference Finals. Well,

739
00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:06,120
Speaker 1: I got Philly. Um, they got the easy side of

740
00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:09,360
Speaker 1: the bracket, right, and then I'm going with the Bucks.

741
00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:11,200
Speaker 1: So that means the Bucks would have to beat the

742
00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:13,960
Speaker 1: Nets in the second round. Absolutely. And this is the

743
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:17,120
Speaker 1: reason why I'm going with the Bucks is because the

744
00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:19,759
Speaker 1: best thing that could happen for them is them get

745
00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:22,560
Speaker 1: in Miami the first round and now they get to

746
00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:26,520
Speaker 1: get tested now because we all know exposures go through

747
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:31,480
Speaker 1: the kitchen sink at them for us defensively right everything

748
00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:34,520
Speaker 1: they go and when they get to Brooklyn, Jannice just

749
00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:37,239
Speaker 1: go have it this way. So I got the Milwaukee

750
00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:40,080
Speaker 1: Bucks in the Philadelphia seventy six is in the Eastern

751
00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:43,160
Speaker 1: Conference Farmers, hold on, don't give us your pick yet, Jack,

752
00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:47,239
Speaker 1: I got the Nets and Philly. I don't see uh

753
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:50,239
Speaker 1: milwalk agetting past the Nets in the playoffs. They had it.

754
00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:52,640
Speaker 1: They figured it out doing the regular season and then

755
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:56,600
Speaker 1: the playoffs. It's gonna be hard, um blak and everybody

756
00:38:56,640 --> 00:38:58,520
Speaker 1: that they're gonna have a totally different game plan and

757
00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:01,239
Speaker 1: guys and know what's at stake. Um, I feel like

758
00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:04,080
Speaker 1: Brad Stevenson. I don't see the Netty losing. I see

759
00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:06,719
Speaker 1: them beat in Philly in the finals in the conference finals.

760
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:10,120
Speaker 1: See the seventy sixers have the easy easy draw, not

761
00:39:10,239 --> 00:39:11,600
Speaker 1: eating I mean, nothing is easy in the plast but

762
00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:14,680
Speaker 1: the easier road to the Eastern finals. Um. And then

763
00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:17,080
Speaker 1: I like the Nets. I mean in the reason why

764
00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:18,920
Speaker 1: it's so hard to pick against the Nets is because

765
00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:21,279
Speaker 1: two of your top players can have an off night

766
00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:23,799
Speaker 1: and you can still win. And there's not another team

767
00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:25,840
Speaker 1: in the NBA. They could say that if A d

768
00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:28,840
Speaker 1: and Labron don't play well, the Lakers lose. And then again,

769
00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:30,719
Speaker 1: I didn't mean call, but I thought about this too

770
00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:36,160
Speaker 1: while he was talking. They got Boston, right, that's gonna

771
00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:39,200
Speaker 1: be easy. They're gonna be resting, walk, You're gonna have

772
00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:42,440
Speaker 1: the fight. But A Brookly need the rest a little bit,

773
00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:44,160
Speaker 1: so it's gonna be easy first round to help him

774
00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:45,480
Speaker 1: go into the second round. It could be kind of

775
00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:47,280
Speaker 1: like your Boston team. Didn't you guys go to seven

776
00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:49,840
Speaker 1: seven games, three series in the row. Were you on

777
00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:52,920
Speaker 1: that team? Yeah, we did, We went three game sevens, right,

778
00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:55,040
Speaker 1: and then you guys beat the Lakers in the final,

779
00:39:57,520 --> 00:40:00,600
Speaker 1: the Hawks and the Hawks in Cleveland. Yeah, and then

780
00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:04,839
Speaker 1: yeah yeah, so yeah again, I got Philly first, the

781
00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:08,360
Speaker 1: Nets in the Eastern Finals. Al Right, next we go

782
00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:11,200
Speaker 1: to the Western Conference Finals. Jack, who you have in

783
00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:16,200
Speaker 1: the Western Finals. I'm going Lakers Clippers. That's what I

784
00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:18,160
Speaker 1: want to say, That's what we are all waiting for.

785
00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:21,000
Speaker 1: I think I think I think the Lakers, you know,

786
00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:23,960
Speaker 1: are shoeing more in the finals than the Clippers. I

787
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:25,840
Speaker 1: think Brian and They're gonna do what they need do

788
00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:28,080
Speaker 1: to get there. But I think they're those two teams

789
00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:30,200
Speaker 1: will meet will meet up in the Western Conference Pas,

790
00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:34,280
Speaker 1: I'm going Jazz and Lakers. I'm going Jazz and Lakers,

791
00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:38,480
Speaker 1: just because I think Dallas is gonna upset the Clippers

792
00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:43,120
Speaker 1: in the first round seven games. I think the Lakers

793
00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:45,200
Speaker 1: they could be the Sons. They are gonna beat the

794
00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:48,400
Speaker 1: one out of Denver in Portland. Uh And I just

795
00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:52,759
Speaker 1: think Utah was securing their number one seed and no

796
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:55,680
Speaker 1: matter if it does go seven games, to me, they're

797
00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:58,759
Speaker 1: not losing that home, not to not to neither one

798
00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:02,359
Speaker 1: of those teams. They're just not Hi. Are you high

799
00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:05,040
Speaker 1: on the Jazz, I'm not mad at that. Um, I too,

800
00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:07,680
Speaker 1: have the Lakers versus the Clippers. The Battle of l

801
00:41:07,719 --> 00:41:10,400
Speaker 1: a UM in the Western Finals. I think we've been

802
00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:12,680
Speaker 1: waiting for this for the past two years. Again, the

803
00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:15,360
Speaker 1: Clippers have flown under the radar and you know, have

804
00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:17,600
Speaker 1: so Eve been stacking their deck and getting people right.

805
00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:21,319
Speaker 1: Quiets health is going to be integral to their advancement.

806
00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:24,080
Speaker 1: But um, I definitely like that battle of l A

807
00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:28,120
Speaker 1: in the Western Conference finals. So we move on to

808
00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:31,600
Speaker 1: our finals matchup, Perk, who do you have in the finals?

809
00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:38,480
Speaker 1: Lakers and Bucks? Lakers, Lakers and Bucks, Lebron and Janice. Yeah,

810
00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:41,320
Speaker 1: that's what That's what I'm looking at, Lakers and Books

811
00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:46,320
Speaker 1: and your prediction. I got Lakers back to bag champions.

812
00:41:46,880 --> 00:41:50,480
Speaker 1: I I just you know, I think as the because

813
00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:54,120
Speaker 1: the more that Lebron, James and a D continue to play,

814
00:41:54,120 --> 00:41:57,719
Speaker 1: they're gonna continue to get their rhythm and like we

815
00:41:57,760 --> 00:42:00,960
Speaker 1: saw lads shield like when they when they're when they

816
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:06,600
Speaker 1: are their best, it's no stopping them, like especially a D. Right,

817
00:42:06,719 --> 00:42:10,320
Speaker 1: A D is one of one, like like he's he's

818
00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:13,120
Speaker 1: a he's a kivin going near two point oh. When

819
00:42:13,160 --> 00:42:15,760
Speaker 1: you talk about how versatile he is, and he showed

820
00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:19,880
Speaker 1: us that last year, like he dominated like shock and

821
00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:23,919
Speaker 1: Will Chamberlain numbers like it was it was like that

822
00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:28,160
Speaker 1: like you just a fucking animal. So I just I

823
00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:32,600
Speaker 1: don't see nobody stopping them, like not when they I

824
00:42:32,719 --> 00:42:35,320
Speaker 1: just don't don't see nobody stopping them. Jack, who you

825
00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:39,759
Speaker 1: got to find? I got? I'm gonna go with the

826
00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:44,680
Speaker 1: Clippers and the Nets. I just for some reason, I

827
00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:49,920
Speaker 1: feel like that three headed monster, a boogie Um Surge

828
00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:52,960
Speaker 1: and what's the other big guy name? U Box, Big

829
00:42:53,040 --> 00:42:55,440
Speaker 1: ju Box. I think they're gonna they're gonna make it

830
00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:57,799
Speaker 1: tough one. They're gonna lean on him. They're gonna lean

831
00:42:57,880 --> 00:42:59,960
Speaker 1: on him, and Bron is not a hunter percent hell.

832
00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:02,360
Speaker 1: I think the Clippers would take them and meet the

833
00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:04,480
Speaker 1: Nets in the championship, and the Net's gonna do what

834
00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:11,280
Speaker 1: they're gonna do all playoffs, dominate and win the championship. Nets,

835
00:43:11,560 --> 00:43:14,759
Speaker 1: and you got some picks. I almost want to say

836
00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:17,720
Speaker 1: the Lakers just so I could not pick the Clippers.

837
00:43:17,719 --> 00:43:19,799
Speaker 1: Maybe I was bad luck picking the Clippers last year.

838
00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:23,680
Speaker 1: You had nothing to do with that, Bro, trust me,

839
00:43:23,680 --> 00:43:27,600
Speaker 1: when man finals matchup, I got the I got uh

840
00:43:27,719 --> 00:43:29,919
Speaker 1: the Nets coming out of the East. I'm a big

841
00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:31,879
Speaker 1: fan of the Nets. Like I said, I don't they're

842
00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:34,240
Speaker 1: gonna get tested. I don't see how much, they'll get tested,

843
00:43:34,280 --> 00:43:35,960
Speaker 1: but I definitely feel to get tested in the East.

844
00:43:36,120 --> 00:43:41,000
Speaker 1: Um coming out of the West. I hate to go

845
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:43,560
Speaker 1: against Lebron because I've got Lebron, and I think every

846
00:43:43,560 --> 00:43:45,919
Speaker 1: time I picked against Lebron, he's proved me wrong. That's

847
00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:49,719
Speaker 1: everybody right. So it's their health is going to be key,

848
00:43:49,800 --> 00:43:51,480
Speaker 1: and I just don't know if they can stay They're

849
00:43:51,520 --> 00:43:54,080
Speaker 1: not already not healthy, so I don't know through these

850
00:43:54,239 --> 00:43:56,799
Speaker 1: rough playoffs they're gonna be able to stay healthy. So

851
00:43:56,800 --> 00:43:59,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go Lakers. Excuse me, I'm gonna go Clippers

852
00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:02,120
Speaker 1: versus the Net in the finals, and I think it'll

853
00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:05,120
Speaker 1: be a great finals. But I have um k D

854
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:09,640
Speaker 1: winning in his third championship in third finals. NPP. To

855
00:44:09,719 --> 00:44:13,320
Speaker 1: me ask you a question, real quick, Stack and Matt,

856
00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:18,400

00:44:21,800 --> 00:44:24,600
Speaker 1: Conference dog horse who's come out of the Eastern Conference

859
00:44:24,680 --> 00:44:28,160
Speaker 1: that not your favorite? My Eastern dark horses. The team

860
00:44:28,200 --> 00:44:30,480
Speaker 1: you're picking to come out of the East, the Bucks,

861
00:44:30,520 --> 00:44:34,080
Speaker 1: Like I said, for every reason you said, dark horse

862
00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:42,040
Speaker 1: will have to be Miami and in the West, mine

863
00:44:42,120 --> 00:44:46,880
Speaker 1: Portland in the West, mine in the West. Is is

864
00:44:47,719 --> 00:44:50,640
Speaker 1: is Portland's for sure? What if they pull it off? Bro,

865
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:55,120
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised. We are surprised. Like we're like,

866
00:44:55,160 --> 00:44:57,400
Speaker 1: we're sitting up there talking about these pigs and in

867
00:44:57,520 --> 00:45:00,640
Speaker 1: my mind, yeah, but I'm sitting up we're talking about

868
00:45:00,680 --> 00:45:02,640
Speaker 1: these peaks. But in my mind, I'm sitting up here

869
00:45:02,680 --> 00:45:07,360
Speaker 1: saying to myself, like, ship really for graphs, right, especially

870
00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:09,239
Speaker 1: in the Western first time you can say that in

871
00:45:09,239 --> 00:45:11,959
Speaker 1: the West. In the West, like, I'm like, it's really

872
00:45:12,040 --> 00:45:14,120
Speaker 1: up for graphs because I'm sitting up here thinking like

873
00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:18,000
Speaker 1: Portland could get hot, and then I'm sitting up here saying,

874
00:45:18,080 --> 00:45:22,359
Speaker 1: you talk could do something like I want to roll

875
00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:24,759
Speaker 1: with the Clippers. I had them my favorite like three

876
00:45:24,800 --> 00:45:28,919
Speaker 1: weeks ago, but then they still kind of you know, declining, Yeah,

877
00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:31,640
Speaker 1: before we get out of here. Obviously, we know these

878
00:45:31,640 --> 00:45:34,240
Speaker 1: playoffs matchups are set. Who are some teams you feel

879
00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:36,200
Speaker 1: that really have a lot of pressure on them to

880
00:45:36,239 --> 00:45:39,160
Speaker 1: do something that should not necessarily win the championship, but

881
00:45:39,239 --> 00:45:40,840
Speaker 1: you at least kind of make the conference finals of

882
00:45:40,880 --> 00:45:42,520
Speaker 1: the finals of the teams that you guys feel that

883
00:45:42,560 --> 00:45:44,680
Speaker 1: are kind of on the clock as far as team

884
00:45:44,719 --> 00:45:49,120
Speaker 1: and possibly go in a different direction. Or I would

885
00:45:49,160 --> 00:45:51,720
Speaker 1: say Boston but they're not healthy. But Portland, for sure.

886
00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:54,160
Speaker 1: It's with no brain of Portland. It's on the clock.

887
00:45:54,600 --> 00:45:56,200
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, Camelo. We don't know how

888
00:45:56,280 --> 00:45:58,759
Speaker 1: much long Camelo gonna play. You got a hold on him.

889
00:45:58,840 --> 00:46:01,719
Speaker 1: Y'all got a healthy team right now, and everybody had

890
00:46:01,719 --> 00:46:04,600
Speaker 1: a chance to play a couple of games before the playoffs.

891
00:46:04,760 --> 00:46:07,160
Speaker 1: So you got your whole team, no more excuses. Let's

892
00:46:07,160 --> 00:46:10,960
Speaker 1: see what you'll cann do. Definitely, Poling I said it's

893
00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:15,520
Speaker 1: the Clippers that they're on the clock. And and here's why,

894
00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:20,640
Speaker 1: because I think what the Clippers do this postseason is

895
00:46:20,680 --> 00:46:25,120
Speaker 1: go decide what Kauai do for as his contract. You

896
00:46:25,160 --> 00:46:29,800
Speaker 1: know you're thinking about that. I mean, he has nobody

897
00:46:29,840 --> 00:46:34,279
Speaker 1: has option. And I think whatever the Clippers do this

898
00:46:34,360 --> 00:46:40,919
Speaker 1: year is go decide whether Kauai stays or he goes. Okay,

899
00:46:40,960 --> 00:46:43,920
Speaker 1: if he goes, where does he go? I like him

900
00:46:43,920 --> 00:46:48,719
Speaker 1: in Miami, Himmy, Jimmy Yo. Him and Jimmy got a

901
00:46:48,719 --> 00:46:52,560
Speaker 1: real good relationship, great relationship. I love him in Miami.

902
00:46:52,560 --> 00:47:00,000
Speaker 1: And to be honest, I tell those are two teams

903
00:47:00,040 --> 00:47:01,360
Speaker 1: I feel have a little bit of I have some

904
00:47:01,400 --> 00:47:03,360
Speaker 1: pressure on them obviously. You know, there's a lot of

905
00:47:03,360 --> 00:47:05,880
Speaker 1: talk to you know, we've we've got what seven or

906
00:47:05,920 --> 00:47:09,160
Speaker 1: eight years now, c J and Dame together and you know,

907
00:47:09,200 --> 00:47:13,120
Speaker 1: I mean, as those two dominant scores, is that back

908
00:47:13,200 --> 00:47:16,840
Speaker 1: quarter recipe for the championship? I think that's what a

909
00:47:16,880 --> 00:47:18,320
Speaker 1: lot of people are asking. Like I said earlier in

910
00:47:18,360 --> 00:47:20,279
Speaker 1: the show, I think the Warriors, you know, got in

911
00:47:20,320 --> 00:47:22,800
Speaker 1: their way when they had their dynasty run injuries and

912
00:47:22,840 --> 00:47:25,680
Speaker 1: play that team. I've always been a big fan of

913
00:47:25,719 --> 00:47:28,640
Speaker 1: Portland's h Clippers. Again, on the clock, I mean, when

914
00:47:28,640 --> 00:47:30,600
Speaker 1: you're the little brother in this city and you go

915
00:47:30,640 --> 00:47:32,440
Speaker 1: out and get all these big free agents, you're always

916
00:47:32,440 --> 00:47:34,200
Speaker 1: on there. You're always on the clock in LA regardless.

917
00:47:34,280 --> 00:47:37,319
Speaker 1: But the moves they may definitely put them on the clock. Um.

918
00:47:37,400 --> 00:47:39,799
Speaker 1: So like you said, I didn't think about that part,

919
00:47:39,880 --> 00:47:43,759
Speaker 1: but you know, what they do can possibly deter or

920
00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:46,360
Speaker 1: or or encourage Kauai and what he's want to do.

921
00:47:46,360 --> 00:47:47,879
Speaker 1: And in the Bucks, you know, I think the Bucks

922
00:47:47,920 --> 00:47:49,560
Speaker 1: have a very good team. You know, Janice has been

923
00:47:49,600 --> 00:47:52,239
Speaker 1: a two time m v P UM again slid under

924
00:47:52,239 --> 00:47:54,760
Speaker 1: the radar this season, but added some really key pieces

925
00:47:55,400 --> 00:47:56,719
Speaker 1: um this year and it's not even to me. His

926
00:47:56,840 --> 00:47:58,560
Speaker 1: name is so much about them winning a championships, about

927
00:47:58,560 --> 00:48:00,920
Speaker 1: making that jump at least representing, you know, getting to

928
00:48:00,960 --> 00:48:03,040
Speaker 1: the Eastern Conference files and putting up a fight. So

929
00:48:04,160 --> 00:48:05,880
Speaker 1: all that said, man, I think it's gonna be very

930
00:48:05,920 --> 00:48:08,800
Speaker 1: exciting playoffs, as we talked, very you know, evenly matched,

931
00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:11,640
Speaker 1: even starting in the first round. So I hope you
