46
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 4: you guys here today, like Smiley like a prisoner of

47
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 4: the moment and or all that, but like that felt

48
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 4: like the greatest opening weekend of NBA playoffs.

49
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:57,079
Speaker 2: It was. It was, yeah, like usually we've done this before.

50
00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:59,239
Speaker 4: You get here Monday and we're like, well, don't worry

51
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 4: about that game that it was a blowout, or what

52
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 4: can you take from that?

53
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 2: Not much?

54
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:04,799
Speaker 4: And it feels like there's something that we can really

55
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 4: take away and dig into with every game in every series.

56
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:09,239
Speaker 2: So let's do it.

57
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 4: I got some questions for you guys. We'll break it

58
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 4: up into the Eastern Conference first, then we'll get to

59
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 4: the Western Conference games East just quickly. Saturday, Chris Middleton

60
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 4: jumper lifts the Bucks past the heat and overtime in

61
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:23,519
Speaker 4: Game one. Also on Saturday, the Nets recovered from a

62
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 4: slow start, especially their stars players. They beat the Celtics

63
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 4: one o four to ninety three. Then on Sunday, Tobias

64
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 4: Harris scored thirty seven to lead the seventy six ers

65
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 4: past the Wizards one twenty and then Sunday night against

66
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 4: digging with the East Ice, tray Trey Young hits the

67
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 4: runner with about a second to go to lift the

68
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 4: Hawks past.

69
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 2: The next AH.

70
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 4: So the first question for you guys and Trey you

71
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 4: can get us started, is who was in the Eastern

72
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 4: Conference only the weekend MVP of the playoffs so far?

73
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 2: Chris Lansdell is right. We got a cock in coming skeets.

74
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 2: You said Eastern only, but I think that Trey Young

75
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 2: is the weekend's MVP regardless of conference. A legendary IPO

76
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 2: for Trey Young that initial playoff offering one of the

77
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 2: great playoff debuts in recent memory. Trey went for thirty

78
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 2: two points, tenn assists, and seven rebounds in his first

79
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:22,839
Speaker 2: playoff game, joining Derreck Rose, Chris Paul, and Lebron James

80
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:27,360
Speaker 2: as the most recent thirty point tennissist games in their

81
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,360
Speaker 2: playoff debuts. But it wasn't just the stat line, it

82
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 2: was how he did it. The vaunted Knicks defense could

83
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,600
Speaker 2: not stay in front of Trey Young in the fourth quarter,

84
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 2: had thirteen points, went nine of nine from the free

85
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:44,040
Speaker 2: throw line. Some of those were certainly gifts, but Lee,

86
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 2: what a free throws do? Win games? Win games? We

87
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,280
Speaker 2: say it every time there's a free throw in this household.

88
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 2: Also under ten seconds, Tom Thibodeaux brings in a cold

89
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 2: goalie Frank Nicolina gets the call to try and guard

90
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 2: Trey Yung. He gets roasted and floated. Trey Young hits

91
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 2: a game winner with point nine seconds left and then

92
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:11,160
Speaker 2: shushes the MSG crowd. First time there really in the

93
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:15,599
Speaker 2: stands this year, fifteen thousand strong, really loud. Spike Lee

94
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 2: going crazy and Trey Young floats him to death, then

95
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:23,039
Speaker 2: shushes the crowd by putting his figure two very high

96
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 2: with the fat I don't will you anymore? In New York,

97
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 2: I don't blame him. Incredible stuff. He what did he say?

98
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 2: It's quiet as fucking here after getting heckled by the

99
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 2: crowd earlier in the game, the guy embraced the heel role.

100
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,839
Speaker 2: Looks like he was meant to play it. Incredible stuff

101
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 2: from Trey Young yesterday in New York.

102
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, Tess, what'd you think about TIB's decision there to

103
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 4: bring in Frankie Ice to try and slow Tray Young

104
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 4: and then did the opposite of that. I mean, even

105
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 4: todsh Gibson was coming up throwing some help and maybe

106
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 4: maybe force him that way if you can there, Frankie.

107
00:05:57,560 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 2: Instead, he just blew right by him got to his spot.

108
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 3: Both guys with the nickname of Ice didn't.

109
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 2: Really Ice on Ice.

110
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 4: Is Jim Ice in the building?

111
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 3: I think so.

112
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:08,239
Speaker 1: I think it was probably.

113
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 3: I think I saw Jim Ice in the background somewhere. Yeah, listen,

114
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 3: I don't think Frank Neil Kida could have played it

115
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:16,159
Speaker 3: any better. He's stuck with him for like thirty feet.

116
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 3: I think it was really strange that he sits the

117
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 3: entire second half and comes out there. I mean he's

118
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 3: basically sitting for like an hour and a half and

119
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 3: now you just go guard the guy he brought Tibbs

120
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 3: brought him in for two possessions, one at the end

121
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:28,720
Speaker 3: of the first half and one at the end of

122
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:30,360
Speaker 3: the second half. But I thought Tibbs would have a

123
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 3: little bit more for Tree Young just overall over the

124
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 3: forty eight minutes. I mean, Tree Young got a double screen,

125
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 3: it was kind of open and you could do his thing,

126
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:42,840
Speaker 3: and he played the game perfectly. He just he got

127
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 3: everybody involved for a lot of the game, picked his spots,

128
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 3: and then in the end of the fourth he just

129
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:51,479
Speaker 3: took over. And sure there was some softy foul calls,

130
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 3: no doubt, and the weird, weird Twitter thing going on

131
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 3: complaining about how high his finger was on his face

132
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:03,159
Speaker 3: when he shush the crowd. People are just fricking weird.

133
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,600
Speaker 3: But what more could Trey Young do? I thought that

134
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 3: was just a marvelous performance overall. I was just just

135
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 3: to be able to just yeah, do what he wanted

136
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 3: out there. Frankly, that was those gold Man. Everybody in

137
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:23,239
Speaker 3: the building, all fifteen thousand of those fans, plus Tibbs

138
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 3: plus Frank Neilakina plus toddge Gibson knew that he was

139
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 3: getting the ball. Lou Williams apparently told him do not pass.

140
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 3: Lou Williams's teammate, he said, do not pass, go win

141
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 3: this game. And he absolutely was money there. I found

142
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 3: it weird a TIB's defense wouldn't you know, bump him,

143
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 3: do something with him, get the ball out of his hand,

144
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 3: something throughout the game. Wasn't even just that play, But yeah,

145
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 3: the Tray took what the defense gave him, and a

146
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 3: performance of a lifetime as Tray sat fifteen thousand fans

147
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 3: chanting the crap out of him from tip so amazing, amazing.

148
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 4: Lea anything to add from Trey Young's unbelievablelayoff debut there.

149
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 5: Well, John Collins I think was apparently supposed to screen.

150
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 5: He waved him off and John Collins lost his shoe

151
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 5: on that play, which was quite incredible. And then Reggie Bullock,

152
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 5: who's also another very good defender for the Knicks. I

153
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 5: thought he might have been the one to get the

154
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 5: assignment on it because he's a bit longer, a bit tall,

155
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 5: but he was on Bogdanovich and he kind of shaded

156
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 5: off Bogdanovitch. Now Trey was going to score that basket,

157
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 5: but if Bullock came off, then he would have left Bogdanovich,

158
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 5: who was actually having a great game himself. So maybe

159
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 5: that played into it a little bit. But in the end,

160
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:35,440
Speaker 5: Trey Young went past effectively four Knicks defenders to score

161
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 5: that one because Julius Randall came out to try to

162
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:39,599
Speaker 5: block it, and he floated it up and in and

163
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:43,080
Speaker 5: it was just incredible. I mean, the atmosphere there, the crowd,

164
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 5: the noise they were making. It was like a soccer

165
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 5: crowd out there. I thought to me, like they were

166
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 5: just roaring every single play. There were so many highlight

167
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 5: plays in this game, so many moments where it looked

168
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:54,840
Speaker 5: like one team was in control and then the other

169
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,839
Speaker 5: team just sort of came back and got the lead there.

170
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 5: And so I just think this was an credible playoff

171
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:04,079
Speaker 5: debut of Roumtree Young at Madison square gun against the

172
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 5: Knicks and he floats up the game winner and you know,

173
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 5: he didn't settle for a jump shot. He went into

174
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 5: the lane. I love that the most about it is

175
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,559
Speaker 5: that you know, he saw the double coming, had that

176
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 5: confidence in himself, went inside and took a really good

177
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:18,840
Speaker 5: shot and knocked it in. I mean, those could easily

178
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 5: roll out, of course, but I just liked the way

179
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 5: that he was moving toward the basket. I thought everything

180
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:26,200
Speaker 5: about that play was fantastic by him and the Atlanta Hawks.

181
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 3: And it is funny.

182
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:33,079
Speaker 4: It is funny because he's like, he's like, we're showing

183
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 4: you for those lessening the tree. I'm shushing the MSG

184
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:40,440
Speaker 4: crowd with his finger placement very high, his.

185
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 2: Eye roll because he's like he's a little bit luft.

186
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 5: He's like, I want to shush them, but I also

187
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 5: want to return the f us to them they gave

188
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 5: me at the start of the game. So it's like,

189
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:50,959
Speaker 5: I can't do both. They have to kind of do

190
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 5: one or the other.

191
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 2: I just want one thing.

192
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 3: Though.

193
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 5: He doesn't have any history though with the Nixes themselves

194
00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 5: and their fans. Does I know at Oklahoma State or

195
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 5: wherever he played college? You know, that was a thing

196
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:03,199
Speaker 5: that the fans chanted that.

197
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 2: But I was like, I'm like, where, what's.

198
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:06,679
Speaker 4: The beef with the Knicks. They've got nothing there. This

199
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 4: is the first game the beef with the knickses. He's

200
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 4: getting free throws in the fourth again because.

201
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,200
Speaker 5: They find But at the start of the game, why

202
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 5: were they Why were they.

203
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:18,840
Speaker 3: So it off?

204
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:22,559
Speaker 5: I'm telling you, man, like, what what an atmosphere that

205
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,679
Speaker 5: was just watching that game, I mean, the Knicks back,

206
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 5: you know, Spike Lee going crazy on the sidelines there,

207
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:30,959
Speaker 5: like you just wanted to be there. It was And

208
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 5: I know you've been this keyts.

209
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 4: I know it's the greatest place to watch a basketball

210
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:36,680
Speaker 4: game in the world, and I was proven this weekend.

211
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 2: To be true. No matter place for the home team

212
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 2: to see their home team lose than Madison Square Garden.

213
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:43,840
Speaker 2: Somebody in the chat was saying, there's all these great

214
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:47,440
Speaker 2: performances at Madison Square Garden, how come none of them

215
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:51,319
Speaker 2: are from the Knicks. Well, Young, Jordan, Reggie, what's the

216
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:52,080
Speaker 2: next moments?

217
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:54,080
Speaker 4: Well, would have been Alec Burks. We would have been

218
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:55,679
Speaker 4: talking about here this morning if the Knicks could have

219
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 4: pulled this out eighteen in the fourth there from Aleck Berks.

220
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 4: But anyway, let's keep it going here yet, so much

221
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 4: to talk about, so tas you know, Trey Young is

222
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 4: an obvious one. It's a great one to start with.

223
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 4: Who else do in the Eastern Conference deserves a little

224
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 4: weekend MVP love.

225
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 3: Well, we'll jump over to heat Bucks and the Bucks.

226
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:14,440
Speaker 3: Chris Middleton was definitely an MVP because the Bucks squeeze

227
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:17,679
Speaker 3: out an OT win over Miami. Middleton hit the game

228
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,679
Speaker 3: winner at the end of overtime, creating space on a

229
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,960
Speaker 3: long mid rage jumper. The Bucks were lucky to escape

230
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:27,079
Speaker 3: with a win. In Middleton the MVP for many reasons,

231
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 3: first being if they lost this game, I think the

232
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 3: series is over because the mental advantage Miami has over

233
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 3: this team after beating them last year and then to

234
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 3: win a game that they didn't deserve winning. I think

235
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 3: it would have been over. When Miami's two stars and

236
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 3: Jimmy Butler shoot four of twenty two and Bam Anibio

237
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 3: shoots four fifteen, it should be a blout. The road

238
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:50,079
Speaker 3: team shot thirty six percent the heat did, it should

239
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 3: be a blowout. And I think another huge reason Chris

240
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 3: Middleton was MVP because he was willing to take the

241
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,440
Speaker 3: big shots throughout the game. He was the guy game

242
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 3: high twenty seven for him. And the last reason he

243
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:04,440
Speaker 3: was MVP was because he stopped the criticism which surely

244
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:09,080
Speaker 3: would have come Yannis Tetokumpo's way because of Yanni's at

245
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:11,439
Speaker 3: the free throw line late in this game and his

246
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:14,440
Speaker 3: four free throws in the last minute. He was two

247
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 3: of six in the last one minute and six seconds

248
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 3: on the clock, including a ten second free throw violation

249
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,839
Speaker 3: with one zero six left in a playoff game, he

250
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:28,160
Speaker 3: took too long to shoot at the free throw line,

251
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:33,200
Speaker 3: broke that ten second barrier which never gets called ever, ever, ever, ever, ever,

252
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 3: And that was after he does his free throw routine.

253
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 3: Before he gets the ball, he denies the referee giving

254
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 3: him the ball. He says, no, don't give me the ball.

255
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 3: I'm going through a full free throw routine where he

256
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 3: throws his arm up, throws up the goose neck and

257
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 3: that takes like five six seconds. Then he gets the

258
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 3: ball and it was well beyond the ten seconds you

259
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 3: can call it, I guess, but I don't know how

260
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 3: do you call it with one minute left? And then

261
00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:59,200
Speaker 3: the next time he shot a free throw, he rushed

262
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 3: it and he missed that. And so he is very

263
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 3: very very lucky. With the poor execution down the stretch

264
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:07,320
Speaker 3: of the Bucks, he would be getting it for sure.

265
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:09,960
Speaker 3: Two time MVP couldn't hit the free throws. His team

266
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 3: just you know, wasn't performing down the stretch. He was

267
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:15,599
Speaker 3: super duper lucky. Chris Middleton saved the day and he

268
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 3: could have saved this series. I think it would have

269
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:19,839
Speaker 3: been over with the way that the heat shot so

270
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 3: poorly from two. I mean they made it up in

271
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:26,439
Speaker 3: three point Land. But Chris Middleton, big MVP from the

272
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 3: Walkee Bucks without without him. Yeah, there's the whole The

273
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 3: whole thing changes, the whole narrative changes big time in

274
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:34,439
Speaker 3: that game.

275
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:37,199
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was my key to the series, Lee, it

276
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 4: was your dream. The free throws, he honest had to

277
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 4: hit him.

278
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 2: What did I want? I wanted like seventy five percent.

279
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 4: The line off to a rough start here in Game one,

280
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:46,439
Speaker 4: but Middleton coming through with the clutch shot there it

281
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 4: was a great defense. I thought from the Heat too

282
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 4: on that one, but Middleton, you know, offense beats better,

283
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 4: offense beats Gootter defense. I guess anything to add from

284
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 4: what Taska? Do you agree that if the Heat pull

285
00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:59,440
Speaker 4: out that victory in overtime after Jimmy tied it at

286
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:01,640
Speaker 4: at the end of regulation with the lay up there,

287
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 4: that they would be in control and probably winning this series.

288
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 2: And middle to me have see if de Lake tas.

289
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 5: It, that was a Miami victory there for everything up

290
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 5: until that Chris Middleton shot, just the way that they

291
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 5: really just suffocated the Bucks and they couldn't get into

292
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:15,839
Speaker 5: any groove. That Heat controlled the pace, the temper even

293
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 5: though they weren't playing well. Jimmy Butler pulls it out

294
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 5: when his team's down by two and then gets that

295
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 5: layout to send the game to overtime, and that to

296
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 5: me is just like there, that's just demoralizing for Milwaukee

297
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 5: to have been in that position and Jimmy just back

298
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 5: to haunt them as he did down in the bubble

299
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:33,320
Speaker 5: last season. But I think if you're the Bucks, you

300
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 5: have to look at this game and say, listen tough.

301
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 3: You know, ugly.

302
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 5: Playoff victory, but we got the win, and we really

303
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 5: should improve a lot in the next game because they

304
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 5: shot terribly from three point range in this game. I

305
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 5: think they finished five for thirty one somewhere around there.

306
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 5: Drew Holliday had a decent game, he couldn't hit a three.

307
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 5: So I think there are some positives to take out

308
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 5: of this for Milwaukee in that sense that, like, listen,

309
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 5: if we can win that game, then we should play

310
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 5: better and we should be able to blow this team

311
00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 5: out if our shots are falling and we don't let

312
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 5: them hang around, because that's exactly what the heat do.

313
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 5: Drags off the bench fantastic again, Duncan Robinson got them

314
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 5: going early and then again it just felt like Jimmy

315
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 5: was going to control that overtime game or that overtime

316
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 5: period and win the game, but they didn't. So, you know,

317
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 5: for the Bucks, I mean, not pretty, but effective enough

318
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 5: that they got the victory and that's all they needed

319
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 5: to do in game one. If they can improve, then

320
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 5: that things do look better for them in this series.

321
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 5: But you know, Miami's obviously going to try to keep

322
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 5: it as dirty and as grimy as they can to

323
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 5: put the Bucks under pressure and to put Yannis at

324
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 5: the free throw line. I think they'll do that again.

325
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 5: I think they'll say, all right, you know what, if

326
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:35,240
Speaker 5: the game's tight, let's see if he can make these

327
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 5: free throws. Because he clunked them and then he took

328
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 5: far too long, and you know, yeah, it's a weird

329
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 5: call in the playoffs, but it's kind of like, yeah,

330
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 5: you're taking far too long, man, just shoot them.

331
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 2: But got that free throw defense from kran Butler. Yeah,

332
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 2: sideline counting things out. Honestly, like we talk about like

333
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 2: free throw defense, that's not a real thing. But if

334
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 2: you got one coach over there whose only job as

335
00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 2: the counter ten came through in the clutch, Yeah for

336
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 2: the heat, but yeah, weird stuff. Giannis would be getting

337
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 2: killed if the Bucks lost this game. But I actually

338
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 2: thought it was good to see him taking Jimmy Butler

339
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 2: for a large majority of this game. I think that's

340
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:13,240
Speaker 2: a lot of the reason why Jimmy Butler went four

341
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 2: of twenty two from the field. He took nine to

342
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 2: three pointers, took a whole bunch of jump shots. Those

343
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 2: are not That's not the game that Jimmy Butler wants

344
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 2: to play. He's a driver, as we saw there at

345
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 2: the last player regulation went right by Jannis four the bucket.

346
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 2: I think that's what he's gonna have to do in

347
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 2: game two tonight. If Jannis is guarding him, Jimmy's got

348
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:32,160
Speaker 2: to just put his shoulder down, try and get to

349
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 2: the free throw line as much as possible. He's not

350
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,040
Speaker 2: a jump shooter. The heat shot the ball pretty well

351
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 2: actually from three point line twenty for forty I think

352
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 2: in game one, so the three pointer can still be there.

353
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 2: They just need somebody to score inside because Bam wasn't

354
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 2: doing it either. So I think Jimmy's just got to

355
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 2: be a little bit more locked in. I don't know

356
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:50,200
Speaker 2: if he was two locked in, not locked in enough,

357
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 2: whatever it was. There's got to be a different level

358
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 2: of calibration here, and he's got to be at the

359
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 2: rim almost every single time on his shots.

360
00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 4: Yeah. I mean, we're, of course, over the course of

361
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 4: this podcast going to be talking up the performances of

362
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 4: like Trey Young and you know, Devin Booker. We'll get

363
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 4: to him and we get to the West and stuff

364
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:05,879
Speaker 4: like that. But there were like a couple of stars

365
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:08,920
Speaker 4: that had some stinkers in Julius Randall and Jimmy Butler

366
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 4: Anthony Davis for the Lakers out West, so we'll see,

367
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 4: uh whether they can bounce back. As for my East

368
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:18,400
Speaker 4: playoff weekend m v P, it was the one game

369
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:21,920
Speaker 4: I didn't watch live and it was the Sixers Wizards game.

370
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:24,399
Speaker 4: But Tobias Harris, I had to catch this one this

371
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 4: morning because I had some flag football Championship action to

372
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:29,240
Speaker 4: go catch.

373
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:29,639
Speaker 2: Guys.

374
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:32,159
Speaker 4: Shout out to Andreas, my god son coming through with

375
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:35,919
Speaker 4: the championship ring. Shout out to Jostin's man ring They

376
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 4: got rings TK incredible.

377
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:43,639
Speaker 2: I should welcome to the South Man. I know, indibleship

378
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:46,440
Speaker 2: rings for a six year old flag football team, and

379
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 2: it's insane. It's insane, but it was an By the

380
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 2: time the ring gets in, they what's that.

381
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:56,280
Speaker 4: By the time the ring gets in, they're they're already there,

382
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:58,119
Speaker 4: just like default rings.

383
00:17:58,119 --> 00:17:58,440
Speaker 2: Here you go.

384
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:02,359
Speaker 3: It's like the spurs pulling out the ropes. They knew

385
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 3: they already had the rings made. Oh yeah, before the

386
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:07,879
Speaker 3: fourth quarter. Did they have quarters in flag football?

387
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 4: No, they got two halves. I think it's running clock.

388
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 2: It was an amazing game.

389
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:16,119
Speaker 4: It was incredible tie game. The other team scores with

390
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 4: twenty seconds to go. So we're like, uh, oh, it's

391
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:20,159
Speaker 4: gonna go to overtime. I don't even know what the

392
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,439
Speaker 4: overtime rules were gonna be. So they had two plays

393
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:24,639
Speaker 4: basically to go to the entire field obviously a smaller

394
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 4: field here with six seven and eight year olds. Two

395
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 4: plays final play, game winning touchdown, just like at the

396
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 4: end of the game, the walk off, the runoff, whatever

397
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:36,399
Speaker 4: the hell you call it. Run That was awesome anyway.

398
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 4: So I watched Wizards Sixers this morning. This was the

399
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:42,440
Speaker 4: one I say for this morning, and yeah, I gotta

400
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 4: show some love to Tobias Harris, who was incredible in

401
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 4: this one, especially with Joel Embiid in foul trouble. Only

402
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 4: played ten first half minutes, but Toby scored twenty eight

403
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:56,879
Speaker 4: of his career playoff high thirty seven by half, joining

404
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:58,959
Speaker 4: Alan Iverson, is the only six Ers with twenty eight

405
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 4: plus points and a half in a playoff game since

406
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:03,239
Speaker 4: ninety seven, and he was special. Sixers got the win

407
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:07,160
Speaker 4: one twenty five one eighteen, you know, not all that convincing.

408
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:10,560
Speaker 4: I'm actually glad I saved this one till today. I

409
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:12,840
Speaker 4: would say of all the games, it was well for

410
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:15,160
Speaker 4: whatever reason out know, maybe it was that early start

411
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 4: there on Sunday. It just lacked the energy of some

412
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:21,400
Speaker 4: of these other games. But he was awesome. He took advantage.

413
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:23,440
Speaker 4: I thought of a lot of mismatches when smaller guards

414
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:25,080
Speaker 4: got on to him, like Ish Smith and.

415
00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:28,080
Speaker 2: Netto, and he was just in his bag there.

416
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 4: Lelle had everything fallow and he had the turnaround jump

417
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:32,440
Speaker 4: or baseline and pull ups and he had even a

418
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:36,359
Speaker 4: little floater at one point transition threes. So you know, again,

419
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 4: Embiid was Embiid's the real MVP of the game. Of course,

420
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 4: like I forget, he's like a plus twenty in this game.

421
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:44,880
Speaker 4: But Tobias Harris keeping them in it scoring the ball

422
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:47,359
Speaker 4: because they didn't get a lot obviously from Ben Simmons

423
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:49,240
Speaker 4: in terms of scoring the ball, and then a nice

424
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 4: line with the fifteen and fifteen boards and assists. But

425
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:54,720
Speaker 4: Toby Man this was big for him. This is big

426
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 4: for the Sixers moving forward. Like he has to be

427
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:58,240
Speaker 4: like a third star. He's got to be Middleton like

428
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 4: where it's like, yeah, this guy's going to be good

429
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:03,160
Speaker 4: for twenty five to thirty. I mean that's what you want.

430
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:04,920
Speaker 4: We'll see if you can do it for the rest

431
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 4: of the series. But awesome first game from Harris.

432
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:08,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, because he was a dud down in the bubble,

433
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:10,679
Speaker 5: and I've been very critical of him not stepping up

434
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:12,920
Speaker 5: in those moments where they need that other scorer, because

435
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:15,480
Speaker 5: you're right, Ben Simmons had a decent line with fifteen rebounds.

436
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:17,440
Speaker 5: Of fifteen, it's this, but he's not the score. He's

437
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:19,679
Speaker 5: not a shooter as such, and they need Tobias Harris

438
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,399
Speaker 5: in that situation. Okay, and beads down. Who's going to

439
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:24,400
Speaker 5: step up? And it was him in the first half,

440
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:26,199
Speaker 5: and then the second half. You know, Seth Curry hit

441
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 5: some shots, they went to him, and so it just

442
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 5: feels like the Sixers just got more options, whereas the

443
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:33,719
Speaker 5: Wizards are like, okay, they needed Beal to go off.

444
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 5: He had a decent game. Westbrook had an okay game,

445
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:37,680
Speaker 5: But other than that, everything felt like just kind of

446
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:41,040
Speaker 5: found money with the Wizards anytime someone else scored. So

447
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:43,879
Speaker 5: the Sixers should win this series pretty comfortably. You know,

448
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:47,240
Speaker 5: if Embiids stays on the court early and he dominates inside,

449
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:49,680
Speaker 5: like we talked about in the previews, the Sixers really

450
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:51,360
Speaker 5: should win because they seem to have a lot more

451
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 5: options than the Wizards do. And last night, you know,

452
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 5: or yesterday, the Wizards sort of hung around in this game.

453
00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:59,680
Speaker 5: But really, once the Sixers sort of got to that spot,

454
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 5: they held onto that lead and they just kept it.

455
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:05,040
Speaker 5: They just kept that lead big enough that the Wizards

456
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 5: were never really super close to them, but they kind

457
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:10,600
Speaker 5: of give themselves a chance. I guess Washington if em

458
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:12,800
Speaker 5: beads off the court. But no, Harris, if he can

459
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 5: perform like this, then this series should be over in

460
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:18,159
Speaker 5: four games. Because you know, he's had a very good

461
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:19,720
Speaker 5: season under Doc Rivers and that was a lot of

462
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 5: the talk coming into the season because he had his

463
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:23,560
Speaker 5: best season as a Clipper under Doc Rivers. He was

464
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:26,159
Speaker 5: almost an All Star this season and stepping up in

465
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:28,440
Speaker 5: the playoffs is a big, big step for him and

466
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 5: glad to see he did it yesterday.

467
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was only the fourth time in seventeen career

468
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:34,920
Speaker 4: playoff games for Harris that he scored twenty or more points.

469
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:35,640
Speaker 3: Yeah.

470
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:38,440
Speaker 4: Wow, he has a struggle before. But yeah, if he

471
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:40,040
Speaker 4: plays like this, then you're right, it's gonna be over

472
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:43,200
Speaker 4: in four or five. But you know, can he consistently

473
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:45,119
Speaker 4: do this? That of course something to watch. All right,

474
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:48,200
Speaker 4: let's keep it going here, unherlded Star East Playoffs, tas

475
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:49,439
Speaker 4: who you got.

476
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:52,240
Speaker 3: Well, I'm gonna take it off the floor. There was

477
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:56,719
Speaker 3: fifteen thousand unheralded stars in Madison Square Garden. Those fans

478
00:21:57,520 --> 00:21:59,760
Speaker 3: just rock in the house. I know we've talked about

479
00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:03,200
Speaker 3: it already, but I just couldn't get enough. And I

480
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:05,480
Speaker 3: don't think it was you know, the fact that it

481
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:08,080
Speaker 3: was game seven of eight games and they kind of

482
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:10,720
Speaker 3: got me jacked. It was just you know, that sense

483
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:14,440
Speaker 3: of normalcy again, the fact that we need freaking basketball

484
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:16,720
Speaker 3: fans out there. I thought all those fifteen thousand fans

485
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 3: bringing it from the beginning with the Tray Young, Tray Young,

486
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:24,480
Speaker 3: Tray Young, right from the get go. I mean, come

487
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:28,600
Speaker 3: on like that, right from the beginning. You know, fans

488
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:31,000
Speaker 3: are into it and maybe why were they doing a task?

489
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:32,880
Speaker 3: Why were they being so mean to him?

490
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:36,000
Speaker 2: Explained to me the criticism from the crowd on the road.

491
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:39,480
Speaker 3: Yeah. Chris Kershner of The Athletic has a good write

492
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 3: up on the background to all that, to Trey Young's performance,

493
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:45,920
Speaker 3: to him walking into the tunnel, you know, saying afterwards

494
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 3: that it got skin quiet in there after I dropped

495
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:52,399
Speaker 3: that shot the whole thing from Oklahoma State, so you

496
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:55,159
Speaker 3: go read that right up. But it was also I

497
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 3: think the feed that I was watching, I was watching

498
00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 3: on the NBA app, no commercials, and so through out

499
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:02,879
Speaker 3: the commercial breaks, they had cameras on every one of

500
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:06,960
Speaker 3: those fifteen thousand fans who were going nuts, and I'd say,

501
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:10,200
Speaker 3: by definition, most of them were what you call bros.

502
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 3: Basically the definition of bros. But I loved every bro

503
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:17,600
Speaker 3: out there actually, except for one, which we'll get to

504
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 3: a little bit later on. There was one fan who

505
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:23,960
Speaker 3: very very poor taste, But stay tuned for two Dy

506
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 3: of the Week for a little bit later on. But yeah,

507
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:28,439
Speaker 3: the Knicks fans just just reeled me back in. I mean,

508
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:33,640
Speaker 3: that was basketball again. It just feels so it felt

509
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 3: abnormal because we've been watching basketball for now a year

510
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 3: plus with zero fans basically, But man, what a difference was.

511
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 3: You're watching the play internament last week and we had

512
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 3: some fans in Chase Center making it feel like the

513
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:50,200
Speaker 3: playoffs again. But what a difference it was to have

514
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:53,360
Speaker 3: Spike Lee hop in there the entire arena hoppin, when

515
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:56,280
Speaker 3: Obi Toppin was hopping and scoring. I mean, that was

516
00:23:57,080 --> 00:24:00,040
Speaker 3: I was just awesome. It was awesome, and yeah, I

517
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 3: forgot how fun basketball can be.

518
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:04,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, the Mecca was bumping. Where were the the the

519
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 4: loudest tray? Was it? The quickly three top and dunk

520
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:11,159
Speaker 4: RJ Barrett dunk Rose floater to tie things up? I

521
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 4: mean there's some it feels like there's Fine Randall hitting

522
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 4: that crazy three there late.

523
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:19,040
Speaker 2: Probably between the Barrett dunk a monster dunk. There are

524
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 2: some great dunks this weekend as well. That was a

525
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:23,879
Speaker 2: great one and the Rose floater like it felt like

526
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:27,240
Speaker 2: the Knicks were maybe going over the top there. Yeah,

527
00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 2: I mean it was awesome and as somebody mentioned in

528
00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:32,520
Speaker 2: the stream, team shout out to the Knicks fans for

529
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 2: helping inspire Trey Young to win that game. Couldn't have

530
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:37,560
Speaker 2: done it without your Knicks fans. Yeah, for sure.

531
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 4: So Lee, are you gonna go down to the Fortress

532
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 4: here for Games three or four?

533
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:41,240
Speaker 2: Now? Is that a must?

534
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:46,960
Speaker 5: Yes? Yeah, I said the other night the process a

535
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:49,879
Speaker 5: little more than I had budgeted full, I'll be honest.

536
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 5: So yeah, I'm gonna. I'm gonna get there. I think

537
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:55,400
Speaker 5: the atmosphere, though, is gonna be electric down there, because

538
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:57,679
Speaker 5: it probably still will be sixty percent Knicks fans at

539
00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:01,360
Speaker 5: least making the trip. You know, the replants, I guess,

540
00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:04,119
Speaker 5: but uh that certainly, yeah, I.

541
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:05,520
Speaker 2: Think like that.

542
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:09,000
Speaker 5: But but but you know, this series is a lot,

543
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:11,680
Speaker 5: you know, it really is, and uh it is this

544
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 5: is exactly what we want to you know, if.

545
00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:15,600
Speaker 3: You save so much money Lee though on tickets this

546
00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:19,879
Speaker 3: last year, you know, yeah, I know, I know, all

547
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:22,119
Speaker 3: those free tickets that you usually get, you saved so

548
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:22,720
Speaker 3: much money.

549
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:22,920
Speaker 2: I know.

550
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:25,640
Speaker 5: And the other thing is it might even be tough

551
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:27,879
Speaker 5: to get tickets right now because they're going to be

552
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:28,679
Speaker 5: in such demand.

553
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 2: But uh, well we'll say, yeah, we'll see what I mean. Well, yeah, now,

554
00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:32,439
Speaker 2: you're right.

555
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:35,320
Speaker 4: Actually taking game one sure helps give it a little

556
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:37,719
Speaker 4: juice there in Atlanta for games three or four, if

557
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 4: it's one one or they're up too or something like that.

558
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:41,479
Speaker 2: It was awesome. You're right.

559
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:43,440
Speaker 4: This is what we this is what we sort of

560
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:45,840
Speaker 4: hoped would happened with this series. And it's like it's

561
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 4: you know, through forty eight minutes, it's like, Yep, this

562
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:52,680
Speaker 4: is what we were expecting. Two really good teams play hard.

563
00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:56,119
Speaker 4: Uh some new faces in here, and they play each

564
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:57,720
Speaker 4: other close. And I think these these are going to

565
00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:00,359
Speaker 4: be a lot of like really entertainingly close games.

566
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:01,359
Speaker 2: It was a blast.

567
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 4: I'll stick with this for unhralded stars with the Hawks

568
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:06,920
Speaker 4: because Trey Young gets all the headlines here, But you know,

569
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:12,320
Speaker 4: I think Bogdanovich and and sweet Lou Williams were instrumental

570
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:14,760
Speaker 4: in this victory because the Hawks they led most of it,

571
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 4: but it ended up coming down to the wire, especially

572
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 4: after Alec Burks was going crazy. Atlanta was down three

573
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:23,240
Speaker 4: with one to eleven left, and Bogdanovich hit a three

574
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:26,240
Speaker 4: pointer to tie things up. That was like, look, we

575
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:28,280
Speaker 4: can be honest, it was pretty lucky for Hawks fans.

576
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:28,520
Speaker 2: It was.

577
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:31,480
Speaker 4: It was a pass from Trey that like got deflected

578
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:34,720
Speaker 4: right into Bogie's arms and he just like ripped it

579
00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:36,440
Speaker 4: right away. He's like, screw it, it's in my hands,

580
00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:38,400
Speaker 4: I'm shooting it, and he knocked that down to tie

581
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 4: things up.

582
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:39,120
Speaker 2: That was big.

583
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:41,439
Speaker 4: But he had eighteen points overall, four boards to assist

584
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 4: two steals again timely three pointers in the fourth and

585
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:48,439
Speaker 4: then Lou Williams man He scored eleven of the hawks

586
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:52,000
Speaker 4: seventeen points between the third and fourth quarters, including a

587
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:53,840
Speaker 4: run of seventh straight. He had a couple other great

588
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:56,960
Speaker 4: dimes to set up some three pointers from Gallinari and Bogdanovich.

589
00:26:57,640 --> 00:26:59,600
Speaker 4: I think he was a game changer in this too,

590
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:03,159
Speaker 4: like old Loulians, and you said it, even talking to Trey, like,

591
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:05,920
Speaker 4: hey man, you're shooting this. And when he was on

592
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 4: that run, they kept him out there longer because Trey

593
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:10,920
Speaker 4: Young went to Nate McMillan and said, hey man, he's

594
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:12,520
Speaker 4: in the low zone right now, like, you don't mess

595
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:15,320
Speaker 4: with this. When when lou Williams has it going and

596
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:17,800
Speaker 4: he's scoring in bunches and he's playmaking like this, you

597
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 4: gotta run with it.

598
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 2: Just ride that wave.

599
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:22,360
Speaker 4: And so Trey told that to McMillan, and they kept

600
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:23,919
Speaker 4: him out there a little bit longer and then obviously

601
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:24,400
Speaker 4: paid off.

602
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:26,880
Speaker 2: I thought he was I thought he was fantastic.

603
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:29,520
Speaker 4: And this is a guy who's got some pretty questionable

604
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:31,680
Speaker 4: playoff performances. You know, we know that he's the sixth

605
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:33,640
Speaker 4: Man of the Year guy time in and time out,

606
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 4: but he's got some clunkers on his resume in terms

607
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:40,800
Speaker 4: of playoff performances. But maybe in this role, you know,

608
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:43,359
Speaker 4: you know, these sort of spot minutes, these little sections

609
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:44,960
Speaker 4: of a game, he can he can still do it.

610
00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:45,520
Speaker 3: It was it was.

611
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:46,360
Speaker 2: That was fun.

612
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:49,000
Speaker 4: And Bogdanovic Again, I'm pairing these two together because I

613
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:51,840
Speaker 4: think there's no Hawks win. There's no tray floater at

614
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:53,399
Speaker 4: the end if these guys don't play the way they did.

615
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, Bogey was great. He yells after every shot he makes.

616
00:27:57,320 --> 00:27:59,399
Speaker 3: I don't know what language he's yelling in, but he

617
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:03,440
Speaker 3: is greaming after every Shotty he was so key, And yeah,

618
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:05,760
Speaker 3: I guess Nate McMillan just pushed all the right buttons,

619
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:09,120
Speaker 3: keeping Lou Williams in there until what like under six

620
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 3: into the fourth quarter. And yeah, of course Twitter going

621
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:18,879
Speaker 3: nuts were straight. Young Lou Williams definitely definitely wins this

622
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:21,800
Speaker 3: game because of what he did out there. If they

623
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:25,760
Speaker 3: didn't trade Rajon rondout the trade deadline, then they don't

624
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 3: win this game. I think, you know, Rondo fits way

625
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:29,960
Speaker 3: better with the Clippers. Loofits way better with the Hawks.

626
00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:33,960
Speaker 3: And yeah, I mean that was I was perfect, Lou.

627
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 3: They I could not believe Lou Williams and what he

628
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:41,000
Speaker 3: did from first half to second half just taken over. Yeah,

629
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 3: total keys to that game.

630
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:44,840
Speaker 4: Trey, who do you have as an unheralded star in

631
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:45,640
Speaker 4: the Eastern Conference.

632
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:50,280
Speaker 2: I've debated a few unheralded stars Skeetsington. I thought about

633
00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:52,959
Speaker 2: giving it to Jill Harris, the only net to hit

634
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 2: a three in the first half when the team was

635
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:58,640
Speaker 2: really struggling, then the only non Big three net to

636
00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:01,080
Speaker 2: score in the third quarter, and that scored thirty one

637
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:05,040
Speaker 2: twenty eight from KD Kyrie and James Harden, but three

638
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:08,080
Speaker 2: from Joe Harris. Considered that, I thought maybe Kevin Durant

639
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:11,080
Speaker 2: is an unheralded star. He played one good half, ended

640
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 2: up with thirty two points and twelve rebounds. Basically zero

641
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:17,520
Speaker 2: flow for the Nets, not much cohesion and an easy

642
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 2: win over the Celtics. But my official unheralded winner Robert Williams.

643
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:25,920
Speaker 2: He went from a game time decision to eleven points,

644
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:29,720
Speaker 2: nine rebounds, and nine blocks in twenty three minutes. He

645
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:32,040
Speaker 2: blocked a James Harden three pointer. I thought he made

646
00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:35,280
Speaker 2: a huge impact with his athleticism. It's a fun matchup

647
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 2: watching him and Nick Claxton kind of similar style players.

648
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:43,080
Speaker 2: Unfortunately for the Celtics, not only did they lose Williams

649
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:44,760
Speaker 2: looks like he's gonna be a little bit limited. He

650
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 2: was really limping around with the turf toe there in

651
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:51,240
Speaker 2: the second half, but a great performance. They said he

652
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:55,680
Speaker 2: has the Celtics postseason record for blocks, but everybody knows

653
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:57,960
Speaker 2: that's not true because at some point Bill Russell blocked

654
00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:00,959
Speaker 2: one hundred shots in the playoff game. But Robert Williams

655
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:05,000
Speaker 2: had to rustle Lake experience in his handful of minutes yesterday.

656
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:07,440
Speaker 2: He was really good. The rest of the Celtics were

657
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:09,440
Speaker 2: just not good enough to pull off a win against

658
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:09,800
Speaker 2: the Nets.

659
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:12,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, Lee, I want to ask you this and if

660
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 4: there's if there's none you want to change, just be

661
00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:16,800
Speaker 4: honest with me. Is there a serious prediction you want

662
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:19,960
Speaker 4: back from the Eastern Conference? Or after one game you're like, Okay,

663
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:21,760
Speaker 4: I'm feeling good about all my predictions.

664
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:24,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think the Knicks in seven would be the

665
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:26,760
Speaker 5: only one I would consider. But again, they still get

666
00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:29,920
Speaker 5: home court for that game seven, So I'm still riding

667
00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:31,640
Speaker 5: with the Knicks. I think they can pull it out

668
00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:33,720
Speaker 5: because I think they definitely steal one down here at

669
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:36,080
Speaker 5: the Fortress at some point to get back onto home

670
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 5: court advantage. So other than that, I mean Philadelphia, I

671
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:41,400
Speaker 5: think I had them in a sweep. I feel pretty

672
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 5: good about that. Same with the nets. And there's one

673
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:47,840
Speaker 5: other game that I'm forgetting Mami Mi. Oh yeah, I

674
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:49,840
Speaker 5: had I had the Bucks winning that one in seven.

675
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:51,600
Speaker 5: I mean, I think that he's going to be a

676
00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:53,600
Speaker 5: long series, and I said the Bucks, the Bucks just

677
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:55,720
Speaker 5: have to pull this one out. They just have to

678
00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:57,960
Speaker 5: be honest, just quickly as well to go back to him.

679
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 5: A couple of times he had Trevor Reza on him,

680
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 5: and Trevor Reza, you know, has been a solid VET

681
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 5: throughout his career, but he's way too slow and too

682
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:08,920
Speaker 5: small for Yannis and Tyler Hero he had on him

683
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 5: a couple times had passed out of that. So Yannis

684
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:13,120
Speaker 5: eat these guys. That's what he should be doing. He

685
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:15,440
Speaker 5: really should be. You know, if Jimmy Butler's on him,

686
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:17,520
Speaker 5: that's a different matchup. He's a tough, you know, young

687
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:21,320
Speaker 5: ish player compared to Trevor Resa. But the Bucks, I

688
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:24,640
Speaker 5: feel the Bucks really should, you know, dominate this series.

689
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:27,320
Speaker 5: I just feel it after that game because they didn't

690
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:28,880
Speaker 5: play all that well, but they got the win. But

691
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:31,200
Speaker 5: I just think a couple of little improvements here and

692
00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:34,160
Speaker 5: they can really put the Clams back on Miami. But

693
00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:36,120
Speaker 5: we know that we know the way they play, So

694
00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 5: maybe maybe that one, but other than that, no, I'm

695
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:41,520
Speaker 5: going to sort of stay where I am. I feel

696
00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:43,480
Speaker 5: fairly confident in the rest of the pick.

697
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:46,440
Speaker 4: Still, well, I think I would like to take back

698
00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:49,560
Speaker 4: my nets in five prediction because I think this might

699
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:52,040
Speaker 4: be Nets and four. I think I was too kind

700
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:54,120
Speaker 4: of maybe giving a Boston And here's why. The Nets

701
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:55,959
Speaker 4: average like one hundred and nineteen points per game during

702
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:58,360
Speaker 4: the regular season. Celtics held him to one or four

703
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 4: on Saturday. Have to win that game if that's what's

704
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:04,680
Speaker 4: gonna happen, And they only scored ninety three. So you know,

705
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:06,760
Speaker 4: Kemba and Tatum, I'm sure they'll bounce back a little bit.

706
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:08,840
Speaker 4: They combined to go eleven for thirty six from the field.

707
00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:11,080
Speaker 2: But this is not looking good. You said it, Trey,

708
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:11,640
Speaker 2: Like the.

709
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:15,040
Speaker 4: Nets played one good half and still one sort of convincingly.

710
00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:17,600
Speaker 4: That does not bode well for the Bean Town boys

711
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:20,240
Speaker 4: of even like making this a series or winning your

712
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:22,200
Speaker 4: game or two. So I know a couple of you,

713
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:24,200
Speaker 4: I guess Lee you were one of them. Somebody else

714
00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:26,280
Speaker 4: in the mixer. Maybe it was all of you guys

715
00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:29,200
Speaker 4: saying getting the brooms out for that Nets one. But

716
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:31,960
Speaker 4: I feel like if I could take one back at

717
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:34,239
Speaker 4: I mean, again, you overreact after game one is that's

718
00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:37,080
Speaker 4: what everybody does. But it does not look great for

719
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 4: Boston's chances to at least make it a series and

720
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:41,760
Speaker 4: maybe not even win a game. Who Trey, what did

721
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:42,320
Speaker 4: you have in this one?

722
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:44,720
Speaker 2: Did you guys had? I had nets and six and

723
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:48,040
Speaker 2: I'm like us, oh, okay, maybe maybe the Celtics can

724
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:50,560
Speaker 2: get one here, but even that I'm feeling less confident

725
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:52,000
Speaker 2: about after game one. Yeah.

726
00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:54,440
Speaker 4: And also I'm not feeling that confident about one hundred

727
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:56,640
Speaker 4: dollars bet with test right now too. After again, they

728
00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:58,320
Speaker 4: only have to play like twenty minutes and it's like,

729
00:32:58,320 --> 00:32:59,800
Speaker 4: all right, well we just sort of kicked ass.

730
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:01,560
Speaker 2: There it is every time it.

731
00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:04,480
Speaker 3: Was crazy they played one quarter and then yes, yeah

732
00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:04,840
Speaker 3: we got it.

733
00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:07,040
Speaker 4: I mean, we should let me take that bet back

734
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:08,960
Speaker 4: because like, if I lose that bet to you, I'm

735
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:14,320
Speaker 4: gonna have to sell my godson's championship football. You know

736
00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:16,400
Speaker 4: you see that all the time, guys getting hard press

737
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:20,160
Speaker 4: for money. Yeah, come on, okay, you're our.

738
00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:21,680
Speaker 2: Final question with the Eastern Conference.

739
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:22,000
Speaker 3: Guys.

740
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:27,840
Speaker 4: Favorite like highlight or a random moment, anything really that

741
00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:30,080
Speaker 4: you just wanted to bring some attention to here from

742
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:31,320
Speaker 4: the Eastern Conference again.

743
00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:32,280
Speaker 2: Lee, you got to start it.

744
00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:36,120
Speaker 5: Danilla Galileanari is a veteran. He's been around since two

745
00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:40,040
Speaker 5: thousand and eight. I went with the playoff mohawk yesterday

746
00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:42,600
Speaker 5: Madison Square Garden. I mean, he's rocked a mohawk of

747
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:45,760
Speaker 5: variance in the past, but this one was the real,

748
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:48,960
Speaker 5: like shave the side of their head, let's go back

749
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:52,280
Speaker 5: to two thousand and two type of mohawk there from Gallinari.

750
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:53,840
Speaker 5: So I don't know if it was because he was

751
00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:56,840
Speaker 5: in Madison Square Garden, his former team, he was like, yeah,

752
00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:58,640
Speaker 5: I'm gonna come back with the mohawk order if he

753
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:00,960
Speaker 5: was just feeling mohawk that day, I don't know, but

754
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:03,360
Speaker 5: it was a unique look. We haven't really seen the

755
00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:05,360
Speaker 5: mohawk for a while. I mean, Chris Anderson used to

756
00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:08,239
Speaker 5: have the sort of spiky one, but demil I sort

757
00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:09,680
Speaker 5: of had the one and it was almost like a

758
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:13,560
Speaker 5: flat mohawk. So yeah, I hadn't seen that for a while.

759
00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:16,359
Speaker 5: Wasn't expecting it from a guy this stage of his career.

760
00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:18,279
Speaker 5: You sort of think, you know, a younger guy maybe,

761
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:20,880
Speaker 5: but no, he rocked it, and he pulled it off too,

762
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:22,919
Speaker 5: So congratulations Danillo, well done.

763
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:25,600
Speaker 2: Like Jay is saying in the stream, team looked like

764
00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:30,319
Speaker 2: de Niro's taxi driver Major Travis Bickle looks, I mean

765
00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:33,279
Speaker 2: back in New York after being drafted there years and

766
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:36,440
Speaker 2: years ago. Maybe he's paying homage. But yeah, a bit

767
00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:38,560
Speaker 2: of an extreme look. I say, stick with it, buddy.

768
00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:41,960
Speaker 4: Just also, I know we're on the stream team here,

769
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:45,239
Speaker 4: we're on YouTube life. I know gd's busy, but Lee,

770
00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:46,759
Speaker 4: you didn't grab a photo of it. You have a

771
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:49,439
Speaker 4: photo for everything in your life, and you couldn't find

772
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 4: a photo of Gallinari's work for the people here.

773
00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:54,360
Speaker 5: The only one that he had wasn't.

774
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:54,719
Speaker 3: A great hey.

775
00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:56,120
Speaker 2: I asked him, he did.

776
00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:59,160
Speaker 3: I asked him for one. He's like, nah, we're good,

777
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:01,600
Speaker 3: We're fine. And now as you're describing it.

778
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:04,640
Speaker 4: You might have a photo for every thing you've ever

779
00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:06,840
Speaker 4: done in your life. You can't take ten seconds to

780
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:08,160
Speaker 4: find Gallinari's mohawks.

781
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:10,800
Speaker 5: Do it now, don't do it now, I'm doing it

782
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:11,239
Speaker 5: right now.

783
00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:12,879
Speaker 3: No, I won't.

784
00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:17,440
Speaker 2: Don't put it straight to him. Unbelievable on the stream.

785
00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:19,440
Speaker 2: It was a crazy look, all right.

786
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:21,279
Speaker 3: Its gets mad about a lot of stuff, but this

787
00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:24,799
Speaker 3: is definitely warranted. Come at least just get a photo

788
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:26,000
Speaker 3: of a rooster, at the very.

789
00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:29,879
Speaker 5: Least one the one that he put up Gallinari. It's

790
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:31,520
Speaker 5: like a side on view, so you don't get like

791
00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:34,000
Speaker 5: the whole like I would like, more like the front

792
00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:35,839
Speaker 5: on view so you can see both sides of his head.

793
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:39,400
Speaker 3: But there you go. I could. I can't help myself.

794
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:44,319
Speaker 2: I have to pay Yeah, all right, I mean I'll

795
00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:46,719
Speaker 2: take your side on this one. League. Guess what looks

796
00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:49,239
Speaker 2: like a mohawk? Everyone, you know what the mohawk looks like?

797
00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:53,000
Speaker 2: That exactly what you're imagining, exactly what you're imagined.

798
00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:57,080
Speaker 3: Well, I thought it would have mohawk usually has doesn't

799
00:35:57,080 --> 00:35:58,359
Speaker 3: a mohawk usually have some height?

800
00:35:58,719 --> 00:35:59,560
Speaker 2: Yeah they can.

801
00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:06,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean whatever. Yeah, there's a lot of different mohawks,

802
00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:09,440
Speaker 3: I think, I think. But yeah, it's it caught me

803
00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:10,000
Speaker 3: off guard.

804
00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:13,839
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, definitely definitely caught us all by surprise. Okay, Tess,

805
00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:17,120
Speaker 4: what was your favorite highlight, random moment, observation, whatever.

806
00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:20,799
Speaker 3: Well, I just thought it was weird watching the nets start.

807
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:24,600
Speaker 3: Blake Griffin at center, and Blake Griffin is at the

808
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:28,600
Speaker 3: point of his career where he's just a defensive guy.

809
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:32,040
Speaker 3: He is just asked to be a defensive guy. Just

810
00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:35,680
Speaker 3: run the floor, get dunks, and have a guy come

811
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:37,719
Speaker 3: off of pick and roll and just try and defend

812
00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:39,320
Speaker 3: him as best you can. This is Blake Griffin. This

813
00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:42,000
Speaker 3: is the most exciting player for me of the twenty tens.

814
00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:44,640
Speaker 3: And now we're at a point where he starts a

815
00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:48,839
Speaker 3: game and he didn't take a shot, not one field goal.

816
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:51,200
Speaker 3: I just thought that was Bonker's watching it happen.

817
00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:51,359
Speaker 4: Now.

818
00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:54,080
Speaker 3: I don't know what they do when inevitably they played

819
00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:57,680
Speaker 3: Joe El Embiid and the Sixers in the Eastern Conference Finals,

820
00:36:57,680 --> 00:37:00,239
Speaker 3: does Blake Griffin start DeAndre Jordan come back, look too

821
00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:04,120
Speaker 3: far ahead? I just thought that was nuts. I just

822
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:06,400
Speaker 3: I'm just not ready for that Blake Griffin to not

823
00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:09,320
Speaker 3: shoot the ball and to just ask like he was

824
00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:11,040
Speaker 3: just asked by Kevin Durant just come on, man, just

825
00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:12,840
Speaker 3: grind it out with me like he was. He was

826
00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:14,719
Speaker 3: telling him to, you know, pick this guy and do that.

827
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:17,160
Speaker 3: I just thought it was weird. He was basically, you know,

828
00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:20,720
Speaker 3: in the Robert Williams mode of the nets in that series,

829
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:23,080
Speaker 3: and you know, just to give you a Robert Williams

830
00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:26,280
Speaker 3: stat from the other side, why the why the Celtics,

831
00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:28,279
Speaker 3: you know, got to be super pumped as trace Adia

832
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:31,040
Speaker 3: nine blocks. But this is why a steel is way

833
00:37:31,120 --> 00:37:34,080
Speaker 3: more important than a block. Of those nine blocks, the

834
00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:36,759
Speaker 3: Celtics only got one of them. Eight of them went

835
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:40,279
Speaker 3: out of bounds or directly back to the Nets. So

836
00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:43,200
Speaker 3: that's kind of so, I guess he's not Bill Rusts.

837
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:48,160
Speaker 2: Himself always keeps it in play. Yeah, man, I thought

838
00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:49,480
Speaker 2: Rob Williams had passed him by.

839
00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:53,520
Speaker 4: Unfortunately, all right, so Blake Griffin, Yeah, taking on a

840
00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:55,799
Speaker 4: obviously a different role there in the in the Nets

841
00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:56,640
Speaker 4: game one victory.

842
00:37:56,719 --> 00:37:59,800
Speaker 2: But Trey, what do you have? What's what's weird to

843
00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:02,000
Speaker 2: or sticks out to you from? Well, just also with

844
00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:04,759
Speaker 2: the Nets centers, I thought it was interesting to hear

845
00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:07,560
Speaker 2: on the broadcast that Jeff Green wants to be the

846
00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:10,600
Speaker 2: next Vince Carter and just play forever and ever, And

847
00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:13,400
Speaker 2: I mean, like, he's what what what your draft was?

848
00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:13,719
Speaker 3: Jeff?

849
00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:21,439
Speaker 5: Wasn't easy for Ray Allen in two thousand and seven.

850
00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:24,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's exactly right. So we're, what, fourteen seasons

851
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:27,160
Speaker 2: into his career, we had another ten years of Jeff Green.

852
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:30,880
Speaker 2: That's crazy it's crazy dunks. Yeah, a lot more dunks,

853
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:33,080
Speaker 2: a lot more jerseys. Maybe he will get to every

854
00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:35,160
Speaker 2: single team, But I don't know that the guy just

855
00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:38,360
Speaker 2: somehow gets better and better makes more sense for playoff teams.

856
00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:40,560
Speaker 2: But one thing that really stuck out to me over

857
00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:43,600
Speaker 2: the weekend, a lot of hard falls this weekend. The

858
00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:46,480
Speaker 2: Kevin Durant won. Oh, I don't know how he didn't

859
00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:49,799
Speaker 2: break his arm. Man Like, he fell on the fast break,

860
00:38:49,880 --> 00:38:52,120
Speaker 2: fell and his right arm like a shooting arm, was

861
00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:54,279
Speaker 2: behind him when he fell down and then popped up

862
00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:56,480
Speaker 2: and played the next play like there was no big deal.

863
00:38:57,080 --> 00:38:59,480
Speaker 2: Jimmy Butler and Giannis had a big collision midair. They

864
00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:02,560
Speaker 2: both took a sh shot down. They both went down

865
00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:04,799
Speaker 2: hard to the court. We saw the Chris Paul thing.

866
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:07,160
Speaker 2: That'll be in the Western Conference talk Lebron as well.

867
00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:10,320
Speaker 2: I don't know. The intensity picked up obviously for the playoffs,

868
00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:13,200
Speaker 2: and some players were hitting the ground pretty hard. To

869
00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:15,839
Speaker 2: not have any actual serious injuries from some of these

870
00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:17,960
Speaker 2: collisions was lucky stuff.

871
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:20,800
Speaker 4: I think, oh my god, that Durrant one one hundred

872
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:22,440
Speaker 4: percent was like, how was he fine?

873
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:25,759
Speaker 2: And he's like didn't shake it off. He's like maybe

874
00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:28,560
Speaker 2: he's just like he's so rubbery or something like that.

875
00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:30,440
Speaker 5: He doesn't look rubbery. He looks body.

876
00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:31,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah that's true.

877
00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:34,880
Speaker 4: Yeah he looks yeah, because every time you see him

878
00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:36,320
Speaker 4: be like, oh yeah, I forget how tall that I

879
00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:37,840
Speaker 4: actually isn't lank he is.

880
00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:40,279
Speaker 2: But yeah that was scary. But he was fine. So

881
00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:42,520
Speaker 2: that was good. Just to wrap up the East here.

882
00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:45,920
Speaker 4: My favorite sort of I guess observation I want to

883
00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:49,440
Speaker 4: get your take guys, was the TNT. I mean it

884
00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:51,839
Speaker 4: really stuck out in the Hawk'snicks game. I can't remember

885
00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:53,520
Speaker 4: if they were using another onees, but they had it

886
00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:58,560
Speaker 4: there in MSG where those cinematic like showl depth of

887
00:39:58,600 --> 00:40:00,920
Speaker 4: field cameras that we saw on the Super Bowl and

888
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:03,800
Speaker 4: we saw in the Royal Rumble, they were employing this

889
00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:06,320
Speaker 4: in this game like sort of had it like floating

890
00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:08,920
Speaker 4: a lot of the times, like beastline, almost like behind

891
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:09,480
Speaker 4: the first.

892
00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:11,640
Speaker 2: Layer of the crowd. I thought it looked badass. I

893
00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:12,799
Speaker 2: mean it looks like a video game.

894
00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:14,680
Speaker 4: We saw it again when Trey Young was like exiting

895
00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:18,320
Speaker 4: the floor after his interview with TNT there and like

896
00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:20,920
Speaker 4: the steady cam and like again it's like everything else

897
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:23,080
Speaker 4: is out of focus around him, but it's just him.

898
00:40:23,719 --> 00:40:24,200
Speaker 3: Do you like that?

899
00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:26,680
Speaker 4: Look, Lely, we've talked about it before, but uh, you know,

900
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:28,319
Speaker 4: I don't. You know, we haven't seen a whole lot

901
00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:30,440
Speaker 4: of it in the NBA, but they seemed to give

902
00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:31,880
Speaker 4: it a go ere on the weekend.

903
00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:33,800
Speaker 5: You know, I'm a big fan of portrait mode on

904
00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:35,160
Speaker 5: the iPhone, so true.

905
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:36,200
Speaker 2: I mean, it's basically what it is.

906
00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:39,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's that's essentially what it is. So yeah, a

907
00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:39,400
Speaker 5: big fan.

908
00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:39,880
Speaker 2: I like it.

909
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:41,719
Speaker 5: I like I like to see more of that, bring

910
00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:43,560
Speaker 5: us in. I just don't like. I know you tweeted

911
00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:45,640
Speaker 5: a bit. I think ske see the big ad that

912
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:47,400
Speaker 5: came on during the Game.

913
00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:51,880
Speaker 2: Three, Yeah, it was massive.

914
00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:53,680
Speaker 5: You couldn't even see. You have to go to the

915
00:40:53,719 --> 00:40:55,760
Speaker 5: replay to say, yeah, beautiful. So we need to figure

916
00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:57,640
Speaker 5: out that some of the camera stuff good. So I

917
00:40:57,680 --> 00:40:58,920
Speaker 5: guess that's not really camera.

918
00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:00,480
Speaker 2: Is that it's prettyuction yorry.

919
00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:03,960
Speaker 4: The Monaco F one race was even worse production wise

920
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:05,960
Speaker 4: than anything we saw from the NBA. Oh, it was

921
00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:09,839
Speaker 4: all over the map there on Sunday morning. But yeah,

922
00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:11,760
Speaker 4: so are you a fan of that that? Yeah, portrait

923
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:13,080
Speaker 4: mode is the best way to put it. That sort

924
00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:14,120
Speaker 4: of camera that we've talked about.

925
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:17,960
Speaker 3: I am a huge fan of the cinema. I am

926
00:41:18,040 --> 00:41:21,040
Speaker 3: a huge fan of portrait mote. So yes, I enjoyed

927
00:41:21,080 --> 00:41:23,400
Speaker 3: every second and I didn't mind the production. I know

928
00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:25,440
Speaker 3: we had a michelot bad, but we also had a

929
00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:31,200
Speaker 3: great popeyees chicken sandwich ad read from Kevin Harland, which

930
00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:35,320
Speaker 3: which informed me that you have barrel cured pickles on

931
00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:37,520
Speaker 3: every chicken sandwich. And Kevin Harland said, give me a

932
00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:43,120
Speaker 3: barrel cured pickle anytime. So yeah, yeah, I mean the production. Yeah,

933
00:41:43,239 --> 00:41:46,719
Speaker 3: usually miss a play, I know, I know. Good friend

934
00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:49,399
Speaker 3: Nate Duncan was really mad about one where we where

935
00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:52,000
Speaker 3: we had a squeeze box and we missed a nice play.

936
00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:54,560
Speaker 3: I get it, I get it.

937
00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:55,200
Speaker 5: That's rough.

938
00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:58,200
Speaker 3: It's rough, but uh, you know, forty seven minutes and

939
00:41:58,280 --> 00:41:59,839
Speaker 3: we missed one minute because he had in a half

940
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:02,360
Speaker 3: squeeze box. But if you're watching Nate Duncan on the

941
00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:06,920
Speaker 3: NBA broadcast, do his commentary. It's a squeezebox too. Why

942
00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:10,239
Speaker 3: am I talking about Nate Duncan anyways? Good production, good production.

943
00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:13,160
Speaker 2: All right, all right, hello talking ads. Here's an ad

944
00:42:13,239 --> 00:42:17,760
Speaker 2: I like Fast and Furious crossover with the ant Takoumpo brothers.

945
00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:21,839
Speaker 2: I wasn't expecting that obviously, you know, despite the fact

946
00:42:21,880 --> 00:42:24,840
Speaker 2: that Fast and Furious started with cars and moved to heists,

947
00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:28,600
Speaker 2: it's really a story about family, just like the Antitaokumpo

948
00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:32,759
Speaker 2: brothers coming to America, becoming MVPs, becoming NBA champions. I

949
00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:35,279
Speaker 2: didn't expect that to be the crossover ad that we

950
00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:37,840
Speaker 2: were seeing every single time there was a commercial breakthrough

951
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:39,600
Speaker 2: for ESPN, but I was loving it.

952
00:42:40,120 --> 00:42:44,040
Speaker 4: Oh, I have an idea for a summer podcast series, Trey.

953
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:46,880
Speaker 4: I can't remember if I've run this by you. You,

954
00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:49,280
Speaker 4: of course a huge fan of the Fast and Furious

955
00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:53,560
Speaker 4: series me never seen a single one at all. I mean,

956
00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:55,920
Speaker 4: of course know it, but I don't know like what

957
00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:58,640
Speaker 4: happens in each movie. So I think we should do

958
00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:03,120
Speaker 4: something where like I'm either Fast and You're Furious or something,

959
00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:06,560
Speaker 4: but we watch it together and break it down, like

960
00:43:06,640 --> 00:43:08,560
Speaker 4: basically do a series on it, watch each one and

961
00:43:08,920 --> 00:43:10,760
Speaker 4: talk it out after and like I'll have a million

962
00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:12,200
Speaker 4: questions and all that.

963
00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:14,560
Speaker 2: What do you think? Sign me?

964
00:43:14,920 --> 00:43:15,279
Speaker 3: There you go.

965
00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:17,400
Speaker 2: I knew I wouldn't have to twist your arm on

966
00:43:17,520 --> 00:43:22,200
Speaker 2: that one Zee Race Wars. That's literally the name they

967
00:43:22,280 --> 00:43:25,600
Speaker 2: give to the race in the first Fast and Furious movie,

968
00:43:26,560 --> 00:43:29,200
Speaker 2: Race War. Wow, see your race Wars Skeets.

969
00:43:29,320 --> 00:43:31,120
Speaker 4: All right, all right, not too many spoilers now, but

970
00:43:31,160 --> 00:43:32,320
Speaker 4: I'm excited. I'm excited.

971
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:36,239
Speaker 2: Let's go to the Western Conference guys. Uh.

972
00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:39,239
Speaker 4: Saturday, Lucas thirty one point triple double helps them MAVs

973
00:43:39,239 --> 00:43:41,080
Speaker 4: beat the Clippers one thirteen, one oh two in Game

974
00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:44,480
Speaker 4: one Saturday night. Lillard leads the three point barrage there

975
00:43:44,480 --> 00:43:46,359
Speaker 4: as the Blazers beat the Nuggets one twenty three one

976
00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:49,439
Speaker 4: O nine. Sunday, Devin Booker and DeAndre eight and helped

977
00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:51,640
Speaker 4: the Suns win in their return to the playoffs. They

978
00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:54,440
Speaker 4: beat the Lakers ninety nine ninety and then last night,

979
00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:57,400
Speaker 4: final game of a very long weekend. There, the eighth

980
00:43:57,680 --> 00:44:00,600
Speaker 4: seeded Grizzlies beat the number one seeded jet in the

981
00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:04,040
Speaker 4: series opener, a very close game. So same questions, but

982
00:44:04,120 --> 00:44:08,960
Speaker 4: we're flipping it over to the West Western Conference playoffs weekend.

983
00:44:09,360 --> 00:44:11,000
Speaker 2: MVP Lee, who do you have?

984
00:44:11,360 --> 00:44:13,160
Speaker 5: Well, I'm going with Devin Booker and I'll get to

985
00:44:13,239 --> 00:44:15,200
Speaker 5: him a little bit more in a sec. Because, apart

986
00:44:15,239 --> 00:44:17,160
Speaker 5: from obviously the big win from the Suns yesterday, The

987
00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:19,759
Speaker 5: biggest story out of this game is Chris Paul's health

988
00:44:20,120 --> 00:44:21,480
Speaker 5: and what it will be for the remainder of this

989
00:44:21,600 --> 00:44:23,800
Speaker 5: series and however long the Sun during the playoffs, because

990
00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:27,120
Speaker 5: he injured himself again in a very sort of innocuous

991
00:44:27,160 --> 00:44:30,160
Speaker 5: play that sort of right should shoulder collar bone area,

992
00:44:30,600 --> 00:44:33,719
Speaker 5: collided with his own teammate actually Cam Johnson there. It

993
00:44:33,760 --> 00:44:36,720
Speaker 5: didn't look too bad, but he immediately sort of grabbed

994
00:44:37,080 --> 00:44:39,920
Speaker 5: at that spot. He left the game, and he did

995
00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:42,080
Speaker 5: come back, but he clearly wasn't one hundred percent. He

996
00:44:42,200 --> 00:44:44,480
Speaker 5: was trying to avoid his right arm as much as possible.

997
00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:47,160
Speaker 5: He lost the hand or several times, like without really

998
00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:49,600
Speaker 5: having a lot of pressure under him. He shot and

999
00:44:49,760 --> 00:44:52,360
Speaker 5: made a couple, but they were high effort shots to

1000
00:44:52,440 --> 00:44:53,799
Speaker 5: just sort of get that ball up there.

1001
00:44:54,840 --> 00:44:55,640
Speaker 2: So we'll see.

1002
00:44:55,760 --> 00:44:58,520
Speaker 5: I mean, he says he's going to be fine, but

1003
00:44:58,600 --> 00:45:00,640
Speaker 5: he said he also said he hurd a crack, which

1004
00:45:00,719 --> 00:45:03,960
Speaker 5: is just awful to hear that. So obviously we hope

1005
00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:06,800
Speaker 5: Chris Paul can play, but that looked really bad for

1006
00:45:06,920 --> 00:45:08,359
Speaker 5: him and for the Suns.

1007
00:45:08,320 --> 00:45:12,000
Speaker 4: And like think about his playoff like injuries. Yeah, over

1008
00:45:12,280 --> 00:45:14,440
Speaker 4: what the last six years or something like that, he's

1009
00:45:14,480 --> 00:45:18,000
Speaker 4: had the hamstring, a broken hand, another hamstring and eat

1010
00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:20,319
Speaker 4: team yeah, and the groin, I think yeah, and then

1011
00:45:20,360 --> 00:45:21,640
Speaker 4: no one possibly the short yeah.

1012
00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:24,239
Speaker 5: So anyway, we'll see what happens there. Like so he

1013
00:45:24,280 --> 00:45:26,279
Speaker 5: said he's going to be okay, but he certainly didn't

1014
00:45:26,280 --> 00:45:29,320
Speaker 5: look at But Devin Booker again super impressive in his

1015
00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:32,799
Speaker 5: playoff debut. The numbers great, thirty four points, shot well,

1016
00:45:33,200 --> 00:45:35,680
Speaker 5: seven rebounds, eight assists, a couple of very Chris Paul.

1017
00:45:35,719 --> 00:45:37,839
Speaker 5: He sort of zigzag moves into the lane there too,

1018
00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:40,080
Speaker 5: for either that mid range shot or to pass to

1019
00:45:40,120 --> 00:45:41,960
Speaker 5: someone in the corner, and a couple of those guys

1020
00:45:42,080 --> 00:45:44,800
Speaker 5: knocked down threes. And he really I thought was impressive

1021
00:45:44,840 --> 00:45:46,960
Speaker 5: in that last quarter when you knew the Lakers were

1022
00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:48,600
Speaker 5: going to make a bit of a push there, and

1023
00:45:48,719 --> 00:45:51,160
Speaker 5: Devin Booker scored or assisted on five of their last

1024
00:45:51,200 --> 00:45:53,680
Speaker 5: seven field goals. And I thought he had good pace

1025
00:45:53,719 --> 00:45:55,719
Speaker 5: to his game throughout, you know, for a rookie in

1026
00:45:55,760 --> 00:45:57,680
Speaker 5: his playoffs, he didn't seem to get rushed. He seemed

1027
00:45:57,680 --> 00:45:59,960
Speaker 5: to take good shots, made them, got to the free

1028
00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:02,719
Speaker 5: throw line, hit a couple of threes. Really didn't have

1029
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:04,520
Speaker 5: I think he had six turn out for sure, but

1030
00:46:04,600 --> 00:46:07,800
Speaker 5: that's fine. You know, his team hung onto a victory

1031
00:46:07,920 --> 00:46:10,719
Speaker 5: there and the Lakers didn't look great. But I talked

1032
00:46:10,719 --> 00:46:12,800
Speaker 5: about this before the series. Game one was pivotal. The

1033
00:46:12,880 --> 00:46:14,440
Speaker 5: Suns had to win, and even if they do win,

1034
00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:16,319
Speaker 5: it's kind of like, well, Lebron always comes back after

1035
00:46:16,400 --> 00:46:18,920
Speaker 5: winning Game one. But I just thought it was a

1036
00:46:19,120 --> 00:46:21,120
Speaker 5: very impressive performance for a guy who had to take

1037
00:46:21,200 --> 00:46:24,120
Speaker 5: on even more load and more responsibility when Chris Paul

1038
00:46:24,280 --> 00:46:28,000
Speaker 5: was despite playing after the injury, clearly wasn't at his best,

1039
00:46:28,040 --> 00:46:30,680
Speaker 5: and so it fell on Devin Booker shoulders. I thought

1040
00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:33,040
Speaker 5: DeAndre Ayton was very good as well, but I thought

1041
00:46:33,120 --> 00:46:35,200
Speaker 5: Booker was their team MVP, and he led from the

1042
00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:37,120
Speaker 5: front for a very impressive victory.

1043
00:46:37,600 --> 00:46:38,320
Speaker 2: He was awesome.

1044
00:46:38,360 --> 00:46:40,680
Speaker 4: He scored her assistant on fifty three points, the fifth

1045
00:46:40,840 --> 00:46:42,719
Speaker 4: most by a player in his playoff debut over the

1046
00:46:42,719 --> 00:46:45,320
Speaker 4: past twenty years. Yeah, Booker was special in this.

1047
00:46:45,680 --> 00:46:46,480
Speaker 2: I loved seeing it.

1048
00:46:46,600 --> 00:46:50,040
Speaker 4: What did you think of the ejection there on campaign

1049
00:46:50,840 --> 00:46:54,640
Speaker 4: getting the two techs for the extracurricular activities and then

1050
00:46:54,680 --> 00:46:56,839
Speaker 4: some of the other techs involved, and it was all

1051
00:46:56,960 --> 00:46:58,239
Speaker 4: started right because of.

1052
00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:01,440
Speaker 2: Chris Paul and Lebron thing there.

1053
00:47:01,440 --> 00:47:03,399
Speaker 4: I guess there were sort of two separate instances happening

1054
00:47:03,440 --> 00:47:04,960
Speaker 4: at the same time. But task, what do you think

1055
00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:08,640
Speaker 4: of the referee's decision to throw cam out there and

1056
00:47:08,719 --> 00:47:09,319
Speaker 4: what went down?

1057
00:47:10,680 --> 00:47:12,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was wild because I'm watching Chris Paul and

1058
00:47:12,840 --> 00:47:15,279
Speaker 3: Lebron and Chris Paul's trying to pick up Lebron. They

1059
00:47:15,320 --> 00:47:18,279
Speaker 3: are still bros. They were battling it out, and then

1060
00:47:18,320 --> 00:47:20,320
Speaker 3: all of a sudden, I kind of missed what happened

1061
00:47:20,320 --> 00:47:23,360
Speaker 3: with Campaign and Alex Caruso, who's been phenomenal. I had

1062
00:47:23,400 --> 00:47:26,719
Speaker 3: to watch the replay to really absorb what happened. I

1063
00:47:26,880 --> 00:47:28,400
Speaker 3: was okay with it. He gave a body check and

1064
00:47:28,440 --> 00:47:30,640
Speaker 3: then he threw the ball at Caruso, so that's kind

1065
00:47:30,640 --> 00:47:33,480
Speaker 3: of two separate texts. And then you had Montrez Harald

1066
00:47:33,520 --> 00:47:35,440
Speaker 3: doing a fifty yard to get in there.

1067
00:47:36,520 --> 00:47:37,960
Speaker 2: A big hit from Harold.

1068
00:47:38,280 --> 00:47:41,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, he could have lowered the shoulder and lowered

1069
00:47:41,400 --> 00:47:44,880
Speaker 3: a huge boom, and you know, God ejected himself, but

1070
00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:48,680
Speaker 3: he corralled Campaign pretty well. I guess that was okay

1071
00:47:48,760 --> 00:47:51,719
Speaker 3: with it. I mean, I don't know. There's a lot

1072
00:47:51,800 --> 00:47:54,319
Speaker 3: happening there. I was distracted, but yeah, there's he did

1073
00:47:54,360 --> 00:47:57,440
Speaker 3: two things, I guess, But that's second one.

1074
00:47:57,520 --> 00:47:59,480
Speaker 5: He shouldn't have got a tech to be thrown after

1075
00:47:59,600 --> 00:48:01,200
Speaker 5: throwing the ball at Caruso like that.

1076
00:48:01,360 --> 00:48:02,320
Speaker 2: I mean, it's the playoffs.

1077
00:48:02,320 --> 00:48:04,480
Speaker 5: We always hear, you know, like the ref swallow the

1078
00:48:04,480 --> 00:48:05,319
Speaker 5: whistle a little bit.

1079
00:48:05,400 --> 00:48:05,520
Speaker 3: Now.

1080
00:48:05,800 --> 00:48:07,560
Speaker 5: You know, he sort of bumped him, and then Caruso

1081
00:48:07,640 --> 00:48:08,840
Speaker 5: came back and he threw the ball. I mean he

1082
00:48:08,880 --> 00:48:10,520
Speaker 5: threw the ball of his leg. If he cracks that

1083
00:48:10,640 --> 00:48:14,560
Speaker 5: off his head, you know, a high, high velocity, but.

1084
00:48:14,640 --> 00:48:16,160
Speaker 2: It's like he throws his face.

1085
00:48:16,560 --> 00:48:18,719
Speaker 5: Come on, he just he basically just you know, they

1086
00:48:19,040 --> 00:48:21,840
Speaker 5: got players always fight over the ball, who can steal

1087
00:48:21,920 --> 00:48:23,560
Speaker 5: it and snatch it off the other guy. And he

1088
00:48:23,760 --> 00:48:25,879
Speaker 5: just flung it back at him. Now the refs, okay,

1089
00:48:25,920 --> 00:48:27,640
Speaker 5: give him a team to say, all right, that's just

1090
00:48:27,880 --> 00:48:29,640
Speaker 5: calm down, but to throw him out of that game

1091
00:48:29,680 --> 00:48:31,680
Speaker 5: again if the Lakers come back and win that game,

1092
00:48:31,760 --> 00:48:35,480
Speaker 5: even though it's campaign, you know, the conspiracy theorists are

1093
00:48:35,520 --> 00:48:37,440
Speaker 5: out there like a see they're trying to you know,

1094
00:48:37,640 --> 00:48:39,399
Speaker 5: fix it here for the Lakers to win the game.

1095
00:48:39,480 --> 00:48:42,160
Speaker 5: So I thought that was a ridiculous one. I thought, okay,

1096
00:48:42,280 --> 00:48:44,200
Speaker 5: just give him one tech for sort of combine them

1097
00:48:44,239 --> 00:48:45,800
Speaker 5: and just say all right, you get a tech but

1098
00:48:45,920 --> 00:48:48,840
Speaker 5: you don't. That's to me not ejection worthy for that

1099
00:48:49,000 --> 00:48:51,480
Speaker 5: little incident that happened there. I just thought, playoff game.

1100
00:48:51,520 --> 00:48:54,680
Speaker 5: It's an intense game, it's a first game. Everyone's emotions

1101
00:48:54,680 --> 00:48:57,080
Speaker 5: are running high. The referees could just have calmed that

1102
00:48:57,160 --> 00:48:59,120
Speaker 5: one down a little bit. So I thought it was

1103
00:48:59,120 --> 00:49:00,839
Speaker 5: a little to hope for the Suns.

1104
00:49:00,880 --> 00:49:03,720
Speaker 4: Though they said it on the broadcast, it got Devin

1105
00:49:03,760 --> 00:49:06,760
Speaker 4: Booker some time to rest. After looking at the replays

1106
00:49:06,800 --> 00:49:08,279
Speaker 4: a million times, it was like it ended up being

1107
00:49:08,320 --> 00:49:10,719
Speaker 4: like a five minute, six minute break, ye for a

1108
00:49:10,760 --> 00:49:12,799
Speaker 4: guy that was obviously doing a lot of heavy lifting

1109
00:49:12,800 --> 00:49:14,680
Speaker 4: there playing a lot more minutes, especially without Chris Paul

1110
00:49:14,760 --> 00:49:17,399
Speaker 4: or in a oue of the lineup after that, Like, yeah,

1111
00:49:17,400 --> 00:49:20,759
Speaker 4: it worked out well for Booker getting a quick blow

1112
00:49:20,840 --> 00:49:22,080
Speaker 4: there on the sideline.

1113
00:49:22,160 --> 00:49:24,920
Speaker 2: So yeah, I'm with you. Only I don't think he

1114
00:49:25,000 --> 00:49:26,759
Speaker 2: really deserved an injection for the.

1115
00:49:26,800 --> 00:49:29,319
Speaker 4: Little throwing the ball back, but they did the old

1116
00:49:29,400 --> 00:49:30,960
Speaker 4: one and one adds up to two and you're out

1117
00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:31,120
Speaker 4: of here.

1118
00:49:31,160 --> 00:49:31,680
Speaker 2: A campaign.

1119
00:49:31,719 --> 00:49:34,359
Speaker 4: But nice to see, uh, it is nice to see

1120
00:49:34,360 --> 00:49:37,680
Speaker 4: the feistiness TK in some of these serie matchups already.

1121
00:49:37,760 --> 00:49:39,719
Speaker 4: Game one usually sometimes takes to like game three or

1122
00:49:39,800 --> 00:49:42,959
Speaker 4: four until like some of this stuff starts happening because

1123
00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:44,600
Speaker 4: he has to get tired of playing the same guy

1124
00:49:44,920 --> 00:49:45,520
Speaker 4: and same team.

1125
00:49:45,600 --> 00:49:47,920
Speaker 2: But some of these right from the jump it happened. Oh,

1126
00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:50,840
Speaker 2: no doubt. It's great to see a little playoff beef

1127
00:49:50,960 --> 00:49:53,319
Speaker 2: on the first weekend because you know it's gonna pay

1128
00:49:53,360 --> 00:49:55,520
Speaker 2: off even further down the line. Like you're saying, Skeets,

1129
00:49:55,560 --> 00:49:57,920
Speaker 2: these are just game ones. Who knows what's going down

1130
00:49:58,000 --> 00:50:00,560
Speaker 2: in game five, Like, I was surprised to see that

1131
00:50:00,680 --> 00:50:04,080
Speaker 2: it was Bradley Beale who was trolling Joel Embiid for

1132
00:50:04,200 --> 00:50:07,040
Speaker 2: the entirety of Wizards versus Sixers seemed like it would

1133
00:50:07,080 --> 00:50:10,200
Speaker 2: be Westbrook versus Embiid, but Bradley Beal basically had a

1134
00:50:10,239 --> 00:50:12,839
Speaker 2: reaction for every single thing that Joel Embiid did out there.

1135
00:50:13,480 --> 00:50:16,359
Speaker 2: So yeah, between that, we got this game. I think

1136
00:50:16,800 --> 00:50:19,799
Speaker 2: Celtics versus Nets will likely get spicy at some point

1137
00:50:19,840 --> 00:50:21,680
Speaker 2: as well. Gonna be fun, all.

1138
00:50:21,640 --> 00:50:24,279
Speaker 4: Right, tass West Playoffs Weekend MVP, where are you going?

1139
00:50:24,880 --> 00:50:29,200
Speaker 3: Well? MAVs Clippers was all about Luka Doncrich. Obviously, the

1140
00:50:29,320 --> 00:50:33,240
Speaker 3: guy is just fricking phenomenal here in his second playoff

1141
00:50:33,320 --> 00:50:36,640
Speaker 3: stint thirty point triple double, banging home threes, and so

1142
00:50:36,840 --> 00:50:39,200
Speaker 3: they decided, all right, we got to double him. Let's

1143
00:50:39,239 --> 00:50:41,560
Speaker 3: get the ball out of his hands. But he was

1144
00:50:41,640 --> 00:50:45,760
Speaker 3: making such great passes. He was just taking the Clippers

1145
00:50:45,880 --> 00:50:49,359
Speaker 3: eyes and sending them wherever he wanted. Because he would

1146
00:50:49,400 --> 00:50:51,200
Speaker 3: look off the Clippers to one guy, they'd have to

1147
00:50:51,239 --> 00:50:53,359
Speaker 3: take a step to one guy and he'd find somebody else.

1148
00:50:53,680 --> 00:50:56,880
Speaker 3: So they got just that just that inch of space

1149
00:50:57,440 --> 00:51:00,040
Speaker 3: that they needed to shoot. Dorian Phinneysmith, Tim Hardway and

1150
00:51:00,040 --> 00:51:03,120
Speaker 3: you're in. Jalen Brunson combined for fifty four points nineteen

1151
00:51:03,160 --> 00:51:06,560
Speaker 3: of twenty nine shooting. That's all Luka Dancic. So yeah,

1152
00:51:06,600 --> 00:51:08,720
Speaker 3: he has a thirty point triple double, but he created

1153
00:51:08,840 --> 00:51:13,760
Speaker 3: everything for his team. In a game with Luca Kawhi

1154
00:51:13,880 --> 00:51:16,279
Speaker 3: and Paul George, he was clearly the best player. And

1155
00:51:16,680 --> 00:51:19,360
Speaker 3: I just wondered if the Clippers have enough of the

1156
00:51:19,520 --> 00:51:22,560
Speaker 3: sense of urgency, because I was a little puzzled, why,

1157
00:51:22,719 --> 00:51:25,720
Speaker 3: you know, Kawhi didn't jump on Luca a little bit earlier.

1158
00:51:25,719 --> 00:51:27,360
Speaker 3: They're going to wait till game two, I guess, to

1159
00:51:27,480 --> 00:51:30,400
Speaker 3: make that happen. And I also wonder about the Clippers

1160
00:51:30,960 --> 00:51:33,399
Speaker 3: when talking about Kawhi and not jumping over to him.

1161
00:51:33,800 --> 00:51:37,640
Speaker 3: Does Kawhi have the legs because he played late into

1162
00:51:37,680 --> 00:51:39,920
Speaker 3: the season under a minute's restriction. He wasn't, you know,

1163
00:51:40,040 --> 00:51:42,440
Speaker 3: playing heavy minutes because he was injured. Now he's getting

1164
00:51:42,480 --> 00:51:45,439
Speaker 3: doubled in the postseason, and his legs I think warred

1165
00:51:45,440 --> 00:51:46,759
Speaker 3: down at the end of the game. He had a

1166
00:51:46,840 --> 00:51:50,360
Speaker 3: good game, but late he couldn't come through, and I

1167
00:51:50,400 --> 00:51:52,080
Speaker 3: think it's telling that his legs weren't there. When he

1168
00:51:52,080 --> 00:51:54,719
Speaker 3: missed a jumper short one thirty left, it was clear

1169
00:51:54,760 --> 00:51:56,759
Speaker 3: when he left his when he left his hand, and

1170
00:51:56,920 --> 00:52:02,960
Speaker 3: then another three short, then another free throw short with

1171
00:52:03,440 --> 00:52:06,000
Speaker 3: a minute thirty left. All that happened, they were tied

1172
00:52:06,040 --> 00:52:08,760
Speaker 3: at one hundred and the last three to twelve remaining

1173
00:52:08,800 --> 00:52:12,080
Speaker 3: the contest, Clippers scored three points the rest of the way,

1174
00:52:12,160 --> 00:52:14,719
Speaker 3: so I think that's worrisome. And then on the other end,

1175
00:52:14,880 --> 00:52:16,759
Speaker 3: in those last three minutes, they gave up two huge

1176
00:52:16,840 --> 00:52:19,759
Speaker 3: dunks because they weren't playing a center. Marcus Morris was

1177
00:52:19,800 --> 00:52:22,640
Speaker 3: their center. Sergea Baca is not out there, which kind

1178
00:52:22,640 --> 00:52:25,840
Speaker 3: of puzzled me. They just didn't have anybody guarding the

1179
00:52:25,960 --> 00:52:28,960
Speaker 3: rim and it was a tie game. Is Serge still

1180
00:52:29,040 --> 00:52:31,160
Speaker 3: injured himself. I mean he missed two months, came back

1181
00:52:31,200 --> 00:52:33,640
Speaker 3: and played two regular season games. I think they need

1182
00:52:33,760 --> 00:52:36,319
Speaker 3: him to speed up quick because if the defense has

1183
00:52:36,360 --> 00:52:38,560
Speaker 3: given up easy strolls to the bucket, that's just not

1184
00:52:38,680 --> 00:52:42,239
Speaker 3: championship basketball. So this is a mass team. It doesn't

1185
00:52:42,239 --> 00:52:44,520
Speaker 3: have a ton of weapons. Even with Christaps porzingis having

1186
00:52:44,520 --> 00:52:47,600
Speaker 3: a bad game, Luca got it done, but some worrisome

1187
00:52:47,640 --> 00:52:50,920
Speaker 3: signs I think from the Clippers just overall picture there.

1188
00:52:51,200 --> 00:52:51,560
Speaker 3: For sure.

1189
00:52:51,640 --> 00:52:53,520
Speaker 4: We'll get to that a little bit more of that

1190
00:52:53,600 --> 00:52:56,120
Speaker 4: mas Clippers game in our next question here. But Trey

1191
00:52:56,360 --> 00:53:00,600
Speaker 4: finish it off West Playoffs weekend mvp FO goes to

1192
00:53:00,680 --> 00:53:02,600
Speaker 4: who Do or Die?

1193
00:53:02,719 --> 00:53:08,440
Speaker 2: Dylan did it again. He Torino thirty one points, seven

1194
00:53:08,520 --> 00:53:12,120
Speaker 2: rebounds for the most punchable face in the NBA. Apparently

1195
00:53:12,239 --> 00:53:16,000
Speaker 2: that's the record for points in a Grizzlies playoff debut.

1196
00:53:16,840 --> 00:53:18,840
Speaker 2: He was the best in the third quarter. He was

1197
00:53:18,920 --> 00:53:23,240
Speaker 2: huge there, fourteen points on seven of twelve shooting, making

1198
00:53:23,360 --> 00:53:28,480
Speaker 2: some crazy shots, some incredible left handed finishes. Brooks also

1199
00:53:28,600 --> 00:53:31,200
Speaker 2: got the game icing layup off a beauty of an

1200
00:53:31,320 --> 00:53:33,759
Speaker 2: inbounds play. Royce O'Neil got tripped up a little bit

1201
00:53:34,040 --> 00:53:38,080
Speaker 2: ended up with Brooks being wide open underneath for the layup.

1202
00:53:38,200 --> 00:53:43,800
Speaker 2: Taylor Jenkins, his coach, called Dylan Brooks the Grizzlies spirit animal,

1203
00:53:44,600 --> 00:53:46,520
Speaker 2: which I don't know if it is a Grizzly, but

1204
00:53:46,600 --> 00:53:49,520
Speaker 2: whatever it is, he is setting the tone out there.

1205
00:53:49,600 --> 00:53:52,720
Speaker 2: He's bringing it defensively. I love how even when Dylan

1206
00:53:52,800 --> 00:53:55,160
Speaker 2: Brooks is having a good game on the offensive end,

1207
00:53:55,520 --> 00:53:58,719
Speaker 2: the broadcast just can't stop talking about how much he

1208
00:53:58,920 --> 00:54:02,520
Speaker 2: hacks as a defender. They're like, this guy is balling

1209
00:54:03,000 --> 00:54:06,040
Speaker 2: and he's super physical. He's just ping ponging around out

1210
00:54:06,080 --> 00:54:08,239
Speaker 2: there is what they called it, just running into guys.

1211
00:54:08,320 --> 00:54:11,600
Speaker 2: But he's set in the tone physically. The Grizzlies played harder,

1212
00:54:11,760 --> 00:54:14,279
Speaker 2: they were hungrier. They've been in a playoff race for

1213
00:54:14,400 --> 00:54:17,800
Speaker 2: basically a month with no Donovan Mitchell for the Jazz.

1214
00:54:18,440 --> 00:54:20,879
Speaker 2: That little bit of extra oom from Dylan Brooks out

1215
00:54:20,880 --> 00:54:23,239
Speaker 2: there on the perimeter really pushed the Grizzlies over the edge.

1216
00:54:23,239 --> 00:54:25,640
Speaker 4: Oh my god, he had, like I don't know the

1217
00:54:25,680 --> 00:54:28,239
Speaker 4: top of my head, like three amazing highlights that I

1218
00:54:28,280 --> 00:54:30,360
Speaker 4: hope they turn into top shot moments. Trey like the

1219
00:54:30,480 --> 00:54:32,680
Speaker 4: end that that one, like, I guess call it a

1220
00:54:32,719 --> 00:54:36,560
Speaker 4: crossover on Conley where he went like back between his legs,

1221
00:54:36,640 --> 00:54:38,399
Speaker 4: like bringing the ball from the back to the front,

1222
00:54:38,440 --> 00:54:40,280
Speaker 4: and then had the sweet finish inside.

1223
00:54:40,280 --> 00:54:42,480
Speaker 2: He was awesome. John Morant took over in the game too.

1224
00:54:42,560 --> 00:54:43,160
Speaker 3: Leally, that's it.

1225
00:54:43,320 --> 00:54:44,160
Speaker 2: That's the special part.

1226
00:54:44,200 --> 00:54:46,239
Speaker 4: It's like, all right, Brooks bring it for those first

1227
00:54:46,280 --> 00:54:48,120
Speaker 4: three quarters and then hand it over to John Morant

1228
00:54:48,120 --> 00:54:51,400
Speaker 4: two to close it out. That's a that's a huge

1229
00:54:51,600 --> 00:54:53,960
Speaker 4: win for the Grizzlies. I know we'll get into the

1230
00:54:54,000 --> 00:54:56,239
Speaker 4: no Donovan thing in a second here, but like to

1231
00:54:56,320 --> 00:54:58,640
Speaker 4: make this a series, it's exciting that the Grizzlies pulled

1232
00:54:58,640 --> 00:55:00,960
Speaker 4: this off and continue this run they're on here led

1233
00:55:01,040 --> 00:55:03,239
Speaker 4: by you know, Jos Special doing him wrong.

1234
00:55:03,280 --> 00:55:04,200
Speaker 2: He's the real superstar.

1235
00:55:04,320 --> 00:55:07,120
Speaker 4: But like GV awesome again especially against Colbert and then

1236
00:55:07,200 --> 00:55:10,640
Speaker 4: Dylan Brook's doing what he's doing. Yes, it's fun to see,

1237
00:55:10,680 --> 00:55:12,400
Speaker 4: especially in a one eight matchup, that there could be

1238
00:55:12,480 --> 00:55:12,920
Speaker 4: something here.

1239
00:55:14,400 --> 00:55:18,480
Speaker 5: Dylan Brooks has got Kawhi light vibes. Defensively, he's very

1240
00:55:18,640 --> 00:55:22,520
Speaker 5: tough and on the offensive end, he said he's watched

1241
00:55:22,520 --> 00:55:24,920
Speaker 5: a lot of Jimmy Butler and Lebron I think it

1242
00:55:25,080 --> 00:55:27,520
Speaker 5: was playoff games and you can tell he wants the

1243
00:55:27,600 --> 00:55:30,040
Speaker 5: ball late, you know, like I know Jarmran did hit

1244
00:55:30,080 --> 00:55:32,480
Speaker 5: some big baskets as well, but not just this game

1245
00:55:32,520 --> 00:55:34,960
Speaker 5: that Dylan Brooks is just not afraid of the moment

1246
00:55:35,040 --> 00:55:37,880
Speaker 5: and shot well again, thirteen for twenty six. It's fifty percent.

1247
00:55:38,000 --> 00:55:40,640
Speaker 5: That's fine, but you know, he feels that moment and

1248
00:55:40,719 --> 00:55:43,520
Speaker 5: he really steps up and takes it. And on the

1249
00:55:43,600 --> 00:55:45,560
Speaker 5: other end, he only had two fouls last night, which

1250
00:55:45,600 --> 00:55:48,080
Speaker 5: is remarkable how he didn't get any more than that,

1251
00:55:48,200 --> 00:55:51,400
Speaker 5: but he physically he really gets into those guys. So

1252
00:55:52,120 --> 00:55:54,640
Speaker 5: this is great. This is actually what this series needed.

1253
00:55:54,680 --> 00:55:57,520
Speaker 5: I'm glad that it happened like this because Donovan Mitchell,

1254
00:55:57,560 --> 00:55:59,600
Speaker 5: as you mentioned, they didn't end up playing. He wanted

1255
00:55:59,640 --> 00:56:01,960
Speaker 5: to play. It was a late scratch and the Jazz,

1256
00:56:02,000 --> 00:56:03,520
Speaker 5: I think sort of felt well that, you know, they

1257
00:56:03,600 --> 00:56:06,160
Speaker 5: probably feel pretty comfortable, they're rested, they're going up against

1258
00:56:06,200 --> 00:56:09,160
Speaker 5: the fatigued, somewhat Grizzlies, But it wasn't the case at all.

1259
00:56:09,200 --> 00:56:11,719
Speaker 5: The Grizzlies had much healthier legs down the stretch there

1260
00:56:11,719 --> 00:56:15,080
Speaker 5: in that one to pull it out. So great, great

1261
00:56:15,160 --> 00:56:18,960
Speaker 5: performance here by Memphis and an exciting series prospect here

1262
00:56:19,000 --> 00:56:22,440
Speaker 5: because Valentunis is a tough match up there for Gobert

1263
00:56:22,480 --> 00:56:24,800
Speaker 5: because he's big and he's long, and he's physical, and

1264
00:56:25,280 --> 00:56:27,160
Speaker 5: you know, Gobert isn't able to sort of really just

1265
00:56:27,239 --> 00:56:29,080
Speaker 5: come over and swap those shots like he can do

1266
00:56:29,400 --> 00:56:31,320
Speaker 5: for some of the smaller centers that he goes up against.

1267
00:56:31,360 --> 00:56:33,880
Speaker 5: Valentinis has had a great season, can really sort of

1268
00:56:33,960 --> 00:56:36,000
Speaker 5: get his body into him, and he's got that little

1269
00:56:36,040 --> 00:56:38,360
Speaker 5: jump book, and that causes gober some problems.

1270
00:56:38,680 --> 00:56:39,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love to see too.

1271
00:56:41,000 --> 00:56:44,160
Speaker 4: Current and former NBA players tweeting about how Dylan Brooks

1272
00:56:44,200 --> 00:56:46,359
Speaker 4: is the classic, Like love to have him on your team.

1273
00:56:46,440 --> 00:56:48,800
Speaker 2: I hate to play against them. He is the ultimate.

1274
00:56:48,920 --> 00:56:51,600
Speaker 4: Like you show up a little hungover for your weekend

1275
00:56:51,680 --> 00:56:54,480
Speaker 4: run with the guys and you just get the one

1276
00:56:54,680 --> 00:56:57,280
Speaker 4: draw that's going to play you defensively that just won't

1277
00:56:57,280 --> 00:57:00,239
Speaker 4: start playing way too hard and like hit you on

1278
00:57:00,320 --> 00:57:01,960
Speaker 4: every play and you're like, come on, man, are we

1279
00:57:02,080 --> 00:57:04,560
Speaker 4: really doing this? It's just so annoying when you're going

1280
00:57:05,360 --> 00:57:08,439
Speaker 4: like that, Yeah, it's exactly what I was thinking. Shut

1281
00:57:08,520 --> 00:57:11,759
Speaker 4: up here now, you're just like, I don't want this

1282
00:57:11,920 --> 00:57:14,840
Speaker 4: guy too much to drink. Last night, they stopped bumping

1283
00:57:14,960 --> 00:57:16,720
Speaker 4: up against me, man, give me some room.

1284
00:57:18,960 --> 00:57:21,040
Speaker 5: Because he gets he looks real sweaty as well, like

1285
00:57:21,080 --> 00:57:22,560
Speaker 5: he's one of those guys you touch him and you

1286
00:57:22,760 --> 00:57:24,440
Speaker 5: just covet in his sweat and it's like, ah, this

1287
00:57:24,600 --> 00:57:25,800
Speaker 5: is even grosser.

1288
00:57:25,960 --> 00:57:26,280
Speaker 3: Get off.

1289
00:57:26,400 --> 00:57:29,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, oh man, I just thought of a great shirt

1290
00:57:29,840 --> 00:57:33,560
Speaker 4: because he's like, he really rocks this. Go tea here, something, goat,

1291
00:57:33,760 --> 00:57:36,800
Speaker 4: go tea. There's gotta be a Bacon team mash up

1292
00:57:36,840 --> 00:57:38,320
Speaker 4: in there with the way he's playing. We got to

1293
00:57:38,720 --> 00:57:41,480
Speaker 4: capitalize off that. So, yeah, awesome game from Brooks.

1294
00:57:41,640 --> 00:57:45,360
Speaker 3: You have John, especially a gentle ish headbutt to to

1295
00:57:45,480 --> 00:57:49,400
Speaker 3: Mike Conley before before a play started while they're waiting there.

1296
00:57:49,800 --> 00:57:54,960
Speaker 3: It wasn't quite ahead putt there. Yeah, I saw my underscore.

1297
00:57:55,080 --> 00:57:57,880
Speaker 3: Low sent out the video and you know, you can't

1298
00:57:57,920 --> 00:58:00,680
Speaker 3: you're a refue almost can't call it a call it tech.

1299
00:58:00,760 --> 00:58:03,040
Speaker 3: But it's like, you know, just an a hole move

1300
00:58:04,320 --> 00:58:05,560
Speaker 3: and he's good at it.

1301
00:58:05,680 --> 00:58:08,160
Speaker 2: Oh, he's fantastic. I love it all right.

1302
00:58:08,240 --> 00:58:11,840
Speaker 4: Our next question here back to the unheralded star of

1303
00:58:11,960 --> 00:58:14,600
Speaker 4: the game ones in the Western Conference task get a

1304
00:58:14,600 --> 00:58:15,480
Speaker 4: start where you're going.

1305
00:58:15,640 --> 00:58:17,959
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, what the Suns were going to talk about?

1306
00:58:18,000 --> 00:58:19,920
Speaker 3: Den Book. We're going to talk about Chris Paul. But

1307
00:58:20,600 --> 00:58:22,960
Speaker 3: they don't win this game without DeAndre Ayton playing in

1308
00:58:23,040 --> 00:58:26,760
Speaker 3: his first playoff game, playing defense the way he did.

1309
00:58:26,840 --> 00:58:29,480
Speaker 3: The Sun's allowed ninety points to a team with Lebron

1310
00:58:29,600 --> 00:58:33,160
Speaker 3: James and Anthony Davis on it, but that is something

1311
00:58:33,440 --> 00:58:36,680
Speaker 3: he did a solid job of being Anthony Davis's primary defender.

1312
00:58:36,720 --> 00:58:39,280
Speaker 3: Big part of why Anthony Davis had only thirteen points,

1313
00:58:39,320 --> 00:58:42,320
Speaker 3: but I think he was equally as important slowing Lebron.

1314
00:58:42,480 --> 00:58:45,200
Speaker 3: Lebron didn't hit a shot at the rim with eighton

1315
00:58:45,280 --> 00:58:47,680
Speaker 3: on the floor. In fact, he didn't take a shot

1316
00:58:47,760 --> 00:58:49,280
Speaker 3: at the rim with eight and on the floor. The

1317
00:58:49,360 --> 00:58:50,880
Speaker 3: only time he took a shot within ten feet of

1318
00:58:50,880 --> 00:58:52,480
Speaker 3: the rim and eightting on the floor, eight and blocked him.

1319
00:58:52,800 --> 00:58:56,320
Speaker 3: He blocked the king clean. He did have a couple

1320
00:58:56,400 --> 00:58:58,160
Speaker 3: buckets when eight and set, but I think there's a

1321
00:58:58,240 --> 00:59:02,480
Speaker 3: reason for that. And at the rim, I should say

1322
00:59:02,520 --> 00:59:06,320
Speaker 3: and eighton offensively two definitely on heralded twenty one points,

1323
00:59:06,480 --> 00:59:08,960
Speaker 3: sixteen boards. He missed one shot. He's ten of eleven.

1324
00:59:09,440 --> 00:59:11,400
Speaker 3: After the game, Anthony Davis said there's no way we're

1325
00:59:11,440 --> 00:59:13,640
Speaker 3: winning a game with me playing the way I did,

1326
00:59:14,480 --> 00:59:17,800
Speaker 3: and he added, I know I'll be better so he's

1327
00:59:17,840 --> 00:59:19,840
Speaker 3: going to go right at DeAndre Ayton. He made it

1328
00:59:19,880 --> 00:59:22,000
Speaker 3: I think a little too easy for Eton and we'll

1329
00:59:22,040 --> 00:59:24,800
Speaker 3: see if Ayton in his first playoff Stint can stay

1330
00:59:25,600 --> 00:59:28,000
Speaker 3: on the floor when these dudes decide to go at him.

1331
00:59:28,440 --> 00:59:31,600
Speaker 3: But I think it's got to be on Anthony Davis,

1332
00:59:31,760 --> 00:59:34,360
Speaker 3: like that is the man who needs to make it

1333
00:59:34,480 --> 00:59:38,160
Speaker 3: happen because Bron he's just he's not totally himself right now.

1334
00:59:38,200 --> 00:59:41,960
Speaker 3: Bron had a very quiet game offensively, and Anthony Davis

1335
00:59:43,400 --> 00:59:45,480
Speaker 3: he looks healthier and he should be taking it at

1336
00:59:45,520 --> 00:59:47,800
Speaker 3: DeAndre Ayton. Will we just end up saying, you know

1337
00:59:47,960 --> 00:59:51,160
Speaker 3: that was just a game one LOLLI gag by those

1338
00:59:51,200 --> 00:59:54,400
Speaker 3: two dudes. I hope the Suns keep taking it to them,

1339
00:59:54,760 --> 00:59:57,000
Speaker 3: but I think they'll they'll turn it on in game

1340
00:59:57,040 --> 00:59:57,560
Speaker 3: two anyway.

1341
00:59:57,680 --> 01:00:00,600
Speaker 4: Cool, Anthony Davis better have a bounce back game, Trey,

1342
01:00:00,720 --> 01:00:03,360
Speaker 4: or he's going to start getting the Paul George like

1343
01:00:04,320 --> 01:00:06,320
Speaker 4: hate thrown at him there on Twitter. I would think

1344
01:00:06,440 --> 01:00:09,040
Speaker 4: he's got a championship, so you know that that helps

1345
01:00:09,120 --> 01:00:09,640
Speaker 4: Hill either a.

1346
01:00:09,640 --> 01:00:10,800
Speaker 2: Game winner at the finals.

1347
01:00:11,000 --> 01:00:13,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, but you know he's got to play obviously

1348
01:00:13,840 --> 01:00:17,480
Speaker 4: better and he will. Yeahakers are Lakers Are you concerned

1349
01:00:17,520 --> 01:00:19,400
Speaker 4: at all about the Lakers winning this series after Game

1350
01:00:19,440 --> 01:00:19,800
Speaker 4: one or no?

1351
01:00:20,280 --> 01:00:22,360
Speaker 2: No, I'm not concerned about my pick either. I think

1352
01:00:22,440 --> 01:00:25,120
Speaker 2: Lakers and six still sounds pretty good. Like you're saying

1353
01:00:25,160 --> 01:00:28,080
Speaker 2: tasks that to me felt like a Lebron feel out game.

1354
01:00:28,120 --> 01:00:31,200
Speaker 2: And as we know, Lebron has taught Anthony Davis his

1355
01:00:31,280 --> 01:00:32,800
Speaker 2: ways as well. Because if you're looking at it from

1356
01:00:32,800 --> 01:00:35,280
Speaker 2: the Lakers perspective, they just held the Suns to ninety

1357
01:00:35,360 --> 01:00:37,959
Speaker 2: nine points and got thirty one combined from Anthony Davis,

1358
01:00:38,000 --> 01:00:40,640
Speaker 2: and Lebron barely lost that game. They've got to be

1359
01:00:40,680 --> 01:00:44,520
Speaker 2: feeling they're doing okay. Anthony Davis the one game he

1360
01:00:44,600 --> 01:00:47,080
Speaker 2: played against the Suns during the regular season forty two

1361
01:00:47,120 --> 01:00:49,280
Speaker 2: and twelve. Obviously he can be a lot better, but

1362
01:00:49,760 --> 01:00:51,960
Speaker 2: eight and out played him eight and out played Lebron

1363
01:00:52,440 --> 01:00:54,920
Speaker 2: in Game one. That was super impressive, the way he

1364
01:00:55,000 --> 01:00:56,520
Speaker 2: was able to stay on the court and continue to

1365
01:00:56,560 --> 01:00:58,959
Speaker 2: make an impact from the first quarter to the fourth quarter.

1366
01:00:59,240 --> 01:01:01,200
Speaker 2: If he does that every single night, then you've got

1367
01:01:01,280 --> 01:01:04,000
Speaker 2: to get the best Anthony Davis every single game for

1368
01:01:04,160 --> 01:01:05,600
Speaker 2: the Lakers to advance in this series.

1369
01:01:05,880 --> 01:01:07,680
Speaker 4: And we could see more games in the nineties here

1370
01:01:07,720 --> 01:01:09,600
Speaker 4: between these two teams with the Lakers having the number

1371
01:01:09,600 --> 01:01:11,920
Speaker 4: one defense and the Spurs are what top six or

1372
01:01:11,960 --> 01:01:14,280
Speaker 4: something like that, Like they're an elite defensive squad two,

1373
01:01:14,360 --> 01:01:16,000
Speaker 4: especially if he could play like that in the middle

1374
01:01:16,520 --> 01:01:18,120
Speaker 4: with you got Chris paul obviously on the guard, and

1375
01:01:18,160 --> 01:01:21,040
Speaker 4: then mckail Bridges is amazing and Jay Crowder is great defensively.

1376
01:01:21,520 --> 01:01:23,400
Speaker 4: So yeah, we could see some other low scoring games,

1377
01:01:23,440 --> 01:01:25,720
Speaker 4: which is fine, still entertaining when it's close.

1378
01:01:25,840 --> 01:01:29,480
Speaker 2: Trey un haralded Starr, where are you going? Well? Damian

1379
01:01:29,560 --> 01:01:33,400
Speaker 2: Willard is the haralded star for the Blazers. Thirty four points,

1380
01:01:33,520 --> 01:01:37,320
Speaker 2: thirteen assists in forty minutes per dame. In Game one,

1381
01:01:37,400 --> 01:01:39,760
Speaker 2: he outplayed Nikolay Jokic, and that to me is probably

1382
01:01:39,800 --> 01:01:42,640
Speaker 2: the biggest reason really that the Blazers took Game one.

1383
01:01:42,720 --> 01:01:45,720
Speaker 2: But their bench was instrumental in this win. Terry Stotts

1384
01:01:45,760 --> 01:01:49,600
Speaker 2: played three guys and they still outscored the Denver Nuggets

1385
01:01:49,640 --> 01:01:53,720
Speaker 2: bench thirty four to twenty. Anthony Simons was great, fourteen points,

1386
01:01:53,800 --> 01:01:56,640
Speaker 2: five of six shooting, hit four threes. He was just

1387
01:01:56,680 --> 01:02:00,920
Speaker 2: shooting over Marcus who word, Marcus how getting some minutes

1388
01:02:00,960 --> 01:02:03,000
Speaker 2: out of nowhere. That's a short guy. I thought he

1389
01:02:03,080 --> 01:02:06,880
Speaker 2: was a Facundo Compozzo clone. Simon's just elevating over him

1390
01:02:06,960 --> 01:02:09,600
Speaker 2: knocking down the jumpers. But the real story off the

1391
01:02:09,680 --> 01:02:15,160
Speaker 2: bench was Mellow. Eighteen points for Carmelo Anthony twelve in

1392
01:02:15,280 --> 01:02:18,920
Speaker 2: the first quarter, the four to three pointers getting booed

1393
01:02:19,000 --> 01:02:22,520
Speaker 2: by the Denver Nuggets fans. This was Mellow's first win

1394
01:02:22,920 --> 01:02:26,600
Speaker 2: in Denver since playing in Denver. That was fun to

1395
01:02:26,680 --> 01:02:29,840
Speaker 2: see Mellow going off for the Blazers. Canter was the

1396
01:02:29,880 --> 01:02:32,880
Speaker 2: other guy who came in off the bench for Portland.

1397
01:02:32,960 --> 01:02:35,320
Speaker 2: He took some bumps and that's about it. Not a

1398
01:02:35,400 --> 01:02:38,880
Speaker 2: ton of depth for the Blazers, but still better than

1399
01:02:38,920 --> 01:02:42,080
Speaker 2: what the Nuggets had to offer last night because Composo

1400
01:02:42,200 --> 01:02:45,320
Speaker 2: did an okay job as the point guard, I thought,

1401
01:02:45,440 --> 01:02:48,720
Speaker 2: but Marcus Howard literally a rookie, Like they're just rolling

1402
01:02:48,760 --> 01:02:51,000
Speaker 2: guys out there. As we've heard time and time again,

1403
01:02:51,360 --> 01:02:54,720
Speaker 2: it's not necessarily the replacement, the replacement for the replacement,

1404
01:02:54,760 --> 01:02:57,760
Speaker 2: and that definitely showed up on the bench for the

1405
01:02:57,840 --> 01:02:59,240
Speaker 2: Blazers versus the Nuggets.

1406
01:02:59,440 --> 01:03:02,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, watching some of these games with my buddy Grish

1407
01:03:02,120 --> 01:03:05,480
Speaker 4: and I hit him with the question, what, like veteran superstar,

1408
01:03:05,960 --> 01:03:07,760
Speaker 4: would you just most want to see win a title

1409
01:03:07,840 --> 01:03:11,120
Speaker 4: like further Legacy, like you know, Harden, Chris Paul, maybe

1410
01:03:11,160 --> 01:03:14,200
Speaker 4: Westbrook like whatever. And he came out of left field

1411
01:03:14,360 --> 01:03:15,320
Speaker 4: and went with a Mellow.

1412
01:03:15,840 --> 01:03:17,280
Speaker 2: I was like, whoa, you know, I'm not.

1413
01:03:17,320 --> 01:03:21,200
Speaker 4: Thinking Mellow as a superstar anymore, but fair enough, it

1414
01:03:21,200 --> 01:03:23,560
Speaker 4: would be wild if the Blazers went on another run

1415
01:03:23,600 --> 01:03:25,360
Speaker 4: here to the conference finals, maybe to the finals. But

1416
01:03:25,480 --> 01:03:28,120
Speaker 4: he was awesome in this So Damian Lillard, like tra said,

1417
01:03:28,160 --> 01:03:30,360
Speaker 4: did the heavy lift in there with thirty four, and

1418
01:03:30,840 --> 01:03:32,680
Speaker 4: that's shaping up I think to still be an awesome

1419
01:03:32,720 --> 01:03:34,960
Speaker 4: series too, Lely, And I know we can get into

1420
01:03:35,000 --> 01:03:37,320
Speaker 4: that in a second. But what's your h your pick

1421
01:03:37,400 --> 01:03:38,400
Speaker 4: for unhralded star.

1422
01:03:39,000 --> 01:03:41,360
Speaker 5: Well, I'm going back to the clip is in the

1423
01:03:41,400 --> 01:03:44,040
Speaker 5: Mavericks game, and really it's those Mavericks role players. Test

1424
01:03:44,160 --> 01:03:47,040
Speaker 5: sort of addressed them there, Phinney Smith, Tim Hardaway, Jaylen

1425
01:03:47,080 --> 01:03:49,760
Speaker 5: Brontson especial. I'm gonna put Chris Taps posing as as

1426
01:03:49,760 --> 01:03:54,280
Speaker 5: a role player too in this one. Now he's not superstar.

1427
01:03:54,480 --> 01:03:56,400
Speaker 5: He was okay, Like he was okay in this game,

1428
01:03:56,520 --> 01:03:58,120
Speaker 5: hit a big three and had a nice dunk at

1429
01:03:58,120 --> 01:04:00,720
Speaker 5: the end there. But really, because don'tchitch as great as

1430
01:04:00,760 --> 01:04:03,560
Speaker 5: he was, you know, fantastic triple double, you know, with

1431
01:04:03,680 --> 01:04:06,720
Speaker 5: the thirty points there and eleven assists, only one point

1432
01:04:06,800 --> 01:04:09,160
Speaker 5: in that fourth quarter, now a couple of assists, and

1433
01:04:09,280 --> 01:04:11,320
Speaker 5: a part of that is obviously because he's getting those

1434
01:04:11,320 --> 01:04:14,760
Speaker 5: guys involved. But those guys need to hit those shots

1435
01:04:14,800 --> 01:04:17,080
Speaker 5: and they need to step up, and they did in

1436
01:04:17,200 --> 01:04:20,280
Speaker 5: that crucial game there because the Clippers. I thought this

1437
01:04:20,400 --> 01:04:23,960
Speaker 5: game was there to be won, but they fell asleep.

1438
01:04:24,040 --> 01:04:26,560
Speaker 5: And Don Chicic again just showing that he doesn't need

1439
01:04:26,760 --> 01:04:29,000
Speaker 5: to have to go out there and score every time.

1440
01:04:29,080 --> 01:04:32,120
Speaker 5: He's more than happy for these other guys to hit shots.

1441
01:04:32,160 --> 01:04:33,840
Speaker 5: And they did that. So can they keep it up

1442
01:04:34,080 --> 01:04:35,840
Speaker 5: for the remainder of this series? If they can, then

1443
01:04:35,880 --> 01:04:38,320
Speaker 5: I think this series is wide open. But that's always

1444
01:04:38,360 --> 01:04:41,080
Speaker 5: the question with Tim Hardaway Junior and Dorian Anthony Smith,

1445
01:04:41,120 --> 01:04:44,080
Speaker 5: those guys, how consistent can they be game in, game out?

1446
01:04:44,440 --> 01:04:47,280
Speaker 5: We'll find out pretty soon. But certainly Game one was

1447
01:04:47,320 --> 01:04:50,320
Speaker 5: an impressive victory by the Mavericks. You know, again, Don

1448
01:04:50,440 --> 01:04:53,320
Speaker 5: chic fantastic, But it wasn't just Don Chicic just dragging

1449
01:04:53,400 --> 01:04:55,640
Speaker 5: his team to victory. A lot of other guys really

1450
01:04:56,000 --> 01:04:56,480
Speaker 5: helped out.

1451
01:04:56,800 --> 01:04:59,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, Gellen Brunson was had a nice little stretch there,

1452
01:04:59,440 --> 01:05:00,880
Speaker 4: as we thought he we have at some point in

1453
01:05:00,920 --> 01:05:03,200
Speaker 4: this series. Well, let's spin it into this question, because

1454
01:05:03,200 --> 01:05:06,160
Speaker 4: I think you had Clippers in five if I remember

1455
01:05:06,280 --> 01:05:09,600
Speaker 4: correctly on one of our preview podcasts, as you fight

1456
01:05:09,680 --> 01:05:12,400
Speaker 4: off and ste from your young son, ask her who

1457
01:05:12,440 --> 01:05:15,560
Speaker 4: makes an appearance every second show? Now, but are you

1458
01:05:16,000 --> 01:05:18,040
Speaker 4: is this a series you want back? In terms of predictions,

1459
01:05:18,120 --> 01:05:19,320
Speaker 4: your Clippers in fight You.

1460
01:05:19,360 --> 01:05:23,320
Speaker 5: Know, I was unconvinced in my own prediction saying that

1461
01:05:23,400 --> 01:05:25,840
Speaker 5: the Clippers should win this series in five games. And

1462
01:05:26,800 --> 01:05:31,000
Speaker 5: you know the reason why, because logically and using my brain,

1463
01:05:31,080 --> 01:05:32,880
Speaker 5: I was like, the Clippers have got too much depth.

1464
01:05:33,840 --> 01:05:35,680
Speaker 5: You know, they've got the star plays, they've had a

1465
01:05:35,800 --> 01:05:38,600
Speaker 5: very good under the radar quiet season. They've got to

1466
01:05:38,640 --> 01:05:40,960
Speaker 5: bounce back, they've got to answer some questions. But my

1467
01:05:41,080 --> 01:05:44,320
Speaker 5: gut was saying it's the Clippers though, and it's the Mavericks,

1468
01:05:44,320 --> 01:05:46,600
Speaker 5: And I was like, no, brain overrules, gutted this one,

1469
01:05:46,680 --> 01:05:50,520
Speaker 5: and I'm going with the Clippers. So I still, I mean,

1470
01:05:50,720 --> 01:05:52,640
Speaker 5: I hate myself as anything. I still think the Clippers

1471
01:05:52,680 --> 01:05:56,560
Speaker 5: canna win it. But you're waiting for that moment where

1472
01:05:56,560 --> 01:06:00,360
Speaker 5: the Clippers really do show that they've got more talent

1473
01:06:01,080 --> 01:06:03,560
Speaker 5: than the Clip, than the than the Mavericks. But maybe

1474
01:06:03,600 --> 01:06:04,000
Speaker 5: they don't.

1475
01:06:04,560 --> 01:06:05,400
Speaker 2: Maybe they don't have it.

1476
01:06:05,720 --> 01:06:09,200
Speaker 4: I'm just fair to see the Clippers absolutely have to

1477
01:06:09,240 --> 01:06:09,840
Speaker 4: win Game two.

1478
01:06:10,320 --> 01:06:15,120
Speaker 5: One hundred Yes, I mean because my my pivotal Game two,

1479
01:06:15,120 --> 01:06:16,840
Speaker 5: because my thing is with the Clippers, it's like, if

1480
01:06:16,840 --> 01:06:19,000
Speaker 5: they do get behind, are they going to implode like

1481
01:06:19,080 --> 01:06:21,240
Speaker 5: they did last season? I mean, they technically didn't get

1482
01:06:21,280 --> 01:06:25,640
Speaker 5: behind and they were game yeah. But that's that's what

1483
01:06:25,800 --> 01:06:27,880
Speaker 5: I really worry about for the Clippers. It's like, do

1484
01:06:28,000 --> 01:06:30,360
Speaker 5: they have that ability to really look each other in

1485
01:06:30,400 --> 01:06:31,640
Speaker 5: the eye and say we can be better than this,

1486
01:06:31,800 --> 01:06:33,440
Speaker 5: or do they basically just turn their backs on each

1487
01:06:33,440 --> 01:06:36,200
Speaker 5: other because that's kind of what happened to them against

1488
01:06:36,200 --> 01:06:39,080
Speaker 5: the Nuggets. So I'm not sure. I'm not I really

1489
01:06:39,120 --> 01:06:41,640
Speaker 5: don't know what to make of this series, you know,

1490
01:06:41,800 --> 01:06:44,560
Speaker 5: but yes, the Clippers must win Game two and and

1491
01:06:44,680 --> 01:06:47,040
Speaker 5: honestly must win it convincingly to be to be fair,

1492
01:06:47,120 --> 01:06:49,720
Speaker 5: they have to show, like we going to Dallas and

1493
01:06:49,800 --> 01:06:51,560
Speaker 5: they game one, We're gonna flush that down the toilet.

1494
01:06:51,600 --> 01:06:55,160
Speaker 5: Because I just I'm perplexed that they got really sort

1495
01:06:55,200 --> 01:06:57,919
Speaker 5: of just brushed off their own court in Game one.

1496
01:06:58,680 --> 01:07:01,920
Speaker 4: Same question tasks series prediction. You want back any of them?

1497
01:07:03,080 --> 01:07:06,080
Speaker 3: Well, I'll go with that the Blazer's Nuggets series, because

1498
01:07:06,760 --> 01:07:10,600
Speaker 3: at home, the Nuggets, their bench has to play better.

1499
01:07:11,200 --> 01:07:15,000
Speaker 3: They the starter is basically played even. But if if

1500
01:07:15,320 --> 01:07:16,960
Speaker 3: the bench at home is going to play like that,

1501
01:07:17,040 --> 01:07:18,520
Speaker 3: how are they going to play on the road. That's

1502
01:07:18,920 --> 01:07:23,520
Speaker 3: that's a classic playoff thing. The bench players usually play

1503
01:07:23,600 --> 01:07:26,960
Speaker 3: better at home, and they were just schooled. Trey went

1504
01:07:27,000 --> 01:07:29,560
Speaker 3: through it there. Their bench was outscored by twelve points

1505
01:07:29,600 --> 01:07:32,600
Speaker 3: and the Nuggets lost by fourteen. If the starters are

1506
01:07:32,600 --> 01:07:35,320
Speaker 3: playing even without Jamal Murray, it's the guys, Yeah, who

1507
01:07:35,400 --> 01:07:38,400
Speaker 3: are replacing the guys in the starting lineup. It's a

1508
01:07:38,440 --> 01:07:43,080
Speaker 3: classic standvan And yeah, if it's if it's Marcus Howard, yeah,

1509
01:07:43,480 --> 01:07:45,600
Speaker 3: I mean maybe you just got to shorten the bench

1510
01:07:45,600 --> 01:07:48,320
Speaker 3: a little bit. Paul Millsap has to be better out there.

1511
01:07:48,840 --> 01:07:52,000
Speaker 3: He still is Paul Millsap, but he's obviously getting older

1512
01:07:52,040 --> 01:07:55,000
Speaker 3: in age. But to me, you know, we can talk

1513
01:07:55,000 --> 01:07:57,800
Speaker 3: about the points and all that, but it's a young

1514
01:07:57,840 --> 01:08:00,480
Speaker 3: guy in a rook like Marcus Howard just being a

1515
01:08:00,600 --> 01:08:03,880
Speaker 3: billion miles away from Carmelo Anthony. When Camarala Anthony is

1516
01:08:03,920 --> 01:08:07,600
Speaker 3: shooting the ball, it's just playing better defense watching Carmelo

1517
01:08:07,600 --> 01:08:10,800
Speaker 3: Anthony and score those eighteen and Anthony Simons with those fourteen.

1518
01:08:10,840 --> 01:08:15,240
Speaker 3: They were just wide open. And so if the bench

1519
01:08:15,320 --> 01:08:19,080
Speaker 3: players can't respond at home, I'm yeah, super worried about

1520
01:08:19,120 --> 01:08:23,720
Speaker 3: when they actually go to Portland. That was just a

1521
01:08:23,920 --> 01:08:26,840
Speaker 3: bad performance and it's like there's jitters, I guess in

1522
01:08:26,880 --> 01:08:29,320
Speaker 3: the first half when they were especially bad, but there's

1523
01:08:29,360 --> 01:08:32,160
Speaker 3: no excuse for allowing open shot after open shot after

1524
01:08:32,240 --> 01:08:35,240
Speaker 3: open shots. So that's that's scary for them going forward.

1525
01:08:35,280 --> 01:08:38,120
Speaker 4: Well, it'll be fun to see how they counter the

1526
01:08:38,200 --> 01:08:42,000
Speaker 4: Blazer's defensive decision to try and turn Jokic into basically

1527
01:08:42,080 --> 01:08:45,080
Speaker 4: Steve Kerr was something we actually talked about, like, hey man,

1528
01:08:45,520 --> 01:08:47,360
Speaker 4: go nuts, try and score as much as you want.

1529
01:08:47,400 --> 01:08:49,599
Speaker 4: We're just gonna try and take away everybody else because

1530
01:08:49,600 --> 01:08:51,960
Speaker 4: we know you want to playmake and like, some of

1531
01:08:52,000 --> 01:08:54,720
Speaker 4: that was just them missing shots for sure, but it

1532
01:08:54,840 --> 01:08:58,679
Speaker 4: was definitely the strategy they leaned into Trey, like, yok

1533
01:08:58,880 --> 01:09:01,120
Speaker 4: go for your fifties. You can do it, because we

1534
01:09:01,160 --> 01:09:03,519
Speaker 4: don't think you can do win the enough games without help,

1535
01:09:03,600 --> 01:09:05,240
Speaker 4: and we're just gonna try and take away everybody else.

1536
01:09:05,280 --> 01:09:07,679
Speaker 4: I love the strategy, but I can't wait to see

1537
01:09:07,720 --> 01:09:10,120
Speaker 4: how Malone and yokicchen the Nuggets sort of counter in

1538
01:09:10,200 --> 01:09:10,559
Speaker 4: Game two.

1539
01:09:11,040 --> 01:09:13,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, just one assist for Jokic. I think it was

1540
01:09:13,040 --> 01:09:15,320
Speaker 2: the first time this season that he's had a single

1541
01:09:15,400 --> 01:09:17,800
Speaker 2: assist game. He probably racks up a few more if

1542
01:09:17,840 --> 01:09:21,599
Speaker 2: Michael Porter Junior makes more than one from ten from

1543
01:09:21,640 --> 01:09:23,640
Speaker 2: the three point line, and it'll also be I mean,

1544
01:09:23,680 --> 01:09:26,240
Speaker 2: I don't think you're gonna hold Yokic down for an

1545
01:09:26,439 --> 01:09:28,599
Speaker 2: entirety of the game, but the or for the entirety

1546
01:09:28,600 --> 01:09:31,040
Speaker 2: of the series. But the way they committed to making

1547
01:09:31,200 --> 01:09:33,400
Speaker 2: other players or to making him a score I think

1548
01:09:33,520 --> 01:09:36,800
Speaker 2: was huge. We'll see if the Blazers are able to

1549
01:09:36,840 --> 01:09:39,200
Speaker 2: continue doing that. Nurkic is a big guy, so we can,

1550
01:09:39,720 --> 01:09:42,559
Speaker 2: you know, at least bang bodies with Jokic. He knows

1551
01:09:42,640 --> 01:09:45,240
Speaker 2: his game a little bit. But the Blazers as a

1552
01:09:45,320 --> 01:09:47,880
Speaker 2: defensive team are not the top of the pops. They're

1553
01:09:47,880 --> 01:09:49,720
Speaker 2: a bottom five defense. So are they gonna be able

1554
01:09:49,760 --> 01:09:52,519
Speaker 2: to string this kind of effort together for seven straight games?

1555
01:09:52,800 --> 01:09:55,400
Speaker 2: We shall see. But Game one that was some great

1556
01:09:55,479 --> 01:09:57,960
Speaker 2: defense on Jokic, despite the fact that obviously he still

1557
01:09:58,000 --> 01:09:59,840
Speaker 2: went off for thirty points. But I mean, if you're

1558
01:09:59,840 --> 01:10:01,920
Speaker 2: on giving up thirty and you're not giving up twenty

1559
01:10:02,000 --> 01:10:05,120
Speaker 2: to the other guys off the passes, you're looking all right. Yeah.

1560
01:10:05,160 --> 01:10:08,000
Speaker 4: On Friday night when we got to our Jazz Grizzlies prediction,

1561
01:10:08,080 --> 01:10:10,200
Speaker 4: I think all three of you guys went Jazz and

1562
01:10:10,360 --> 01:10:12,880
Speaker 4: six and I said, ah, I think you guys are

1563
01:10:12,920 --> 01:10:15,360
Speaker 4: just riding the wave of that big victory over the Warriors.

1564
01:10:15,400 --> 01:10:16,400
Speaker 2: I think it's Jazz and five.

1565
01:10:17,080 --> 01:10:19,000
Speaker 3: I'd like that back, and a.

1566
01:10:19,000 --> 01:10:21,360
Speaker 4: Big part of it is I thought, and it was

1567
01:10:21,400 --> 01:10:22,960
Speaker 4: my key to the series for crying a lout Donovan

1568
01:10:22,960 --> 01:10:23,880
Speaker 4: Mitchell I thought he was playing.

1569
01:10:23,920 --> 01:10:26,680
Speaker 2: I think we all did. He almost said as much.

1570
01:10:26,880 --> 01:10:28,800
Speaker 5: He did. He thought he was playing, they said, and

1571
01:10:29,000 --> 01:10:31,200
Speaker 5: he wasn't happy when they told him he wasn't playing.

1572
01:10:31,840 --> 01:10:32,439
Speaker 5: That's what I read.

1573
01:10:32,439 --> 01:10:34,280
Speaker 4: Proud of the game, I know, it's like did the

1574
01:10:34,400 --> 01:10:37,000
Speaker 4: Jazz I mean, of course, hindsight twenty twenty, you know,

1575
01:10:37,040 --> 01:10:39,160
Speaker 4: they pull out to victory, then it's great. Then it's like, oh,

1576
01:10:39,320 --> 01:10:42,280
Speaker 4: we had our superstar get another couple of days rest.

1577
01:10:42,400 --> 01:10:45,599
Speaker 4: But they lose and you're like, ooh, did you think

1578
01:10:45,680 --> 01:10:47,840
Speaker 4: maybe you could pull this one out without him, which

1579
01:10:47,920 --> 01:10:50,080
Speaker 4: they obviously of course did, and they did it. So

1580
01:10:50,200 --> 01:10:52,880
Speaker 4: I'm going to change my I would want to change

1581
01:10:52,880 --> 01:10:55,240
Speaker 4: my Jazz and five pick. I don't think the Grizzlies

1582
01:10:55,240 --> 01:10:57,479
Speaker 4: are going to lose four straight games here, whether Donovan

1583
01:10:57,479 --> 01:10:58,320
Speaker 4: Mitchell was playing or not.

1584
01:10:58,960 --> 01:11:00,880
Speaker 2: They just have got nothing to lose.

1585
01:11:01,000 --> 01:11:02,960
Speaker 4: They're the youngest team to make the playoffs since what

1586
01:11:03,120 --> 01:11:06,120
Speaker 4: the KD Westbrook hardin Thunder era team there.

1587
01:11:06,160 --> 01:11:07,679
Speaker 2: There's like no fear in these guys.

1588
01:11:07,760 --> 01:11:10,360
Speaker 4: They're fun to watch, so I just can't see them

1589
01:11:10,439 --> 01:11:12,640
Speaker 4: losing four straight, even if Mitchell comes back in Game two,

1590
01:11:12,680 --> 01:11:14,760
Speaker 4: which I expect you would, but it's not gonna help

1591
01:11:14,800 --> 01:11:16,880
Speaker 4: their chances to the Jazz to win some of these

1592
01:11:16,880 --> 01:11:18,679
Speaker 4: games as they go twelve for forty seven from three.

1593
01:11:18,720 --> 01:11:20,160
Speaker 2: And that was the concern too. We talked about it.

1594
01:11:20,160 --> 01:11:21,720
Speaker 2: I think Trey you brought it up. It's like, what

1595
01:11:21,760 --> 01:11:23,040
Speaker 2: happens when these threes aren't falling.

1596
01:11:23,120 --> 01:11:25,160
Speaker 4: They're a great three point shooting team thirty nine percent

1597
01:11:25,200 --> 01:11:27,479
Speaker 4: in the regular season, but they'll have some of these

1598
01:11:27,520 --> 01:11:29,720
Speaker 4: games where they just throw up some clunkers. Butgdanovic four

1599
01:11:29,760 --> 01:11:32,640
Speaker 4: for eleven from d Conley three of eleven, Clarkson oh

1600
01:11:32,760 --> 01:11:34,479
Speaker 4: for eight. I thought he was horrible in this game.

1601
01:11:34,920 --> 01:11:37,000
Speaker 4: Ingles three for seven, okay, and Yang one for six,

1602
01:11:37,320 --> 01:11:39,559
Speaker 4: O'Neil one for three, and then on you oh for one.

1603
01:11:39,760 --> 01:11:42,360
Speaker 4: So yeah, they're gonna need some better three point shooting there.

1604
01:11:43,120 --> 01:11:44,280
Speaker 4: I still think the Jazz.

1605
01:11:44,080 --> 01:11:44,880
Speaker 2: Win this series.

1606
01:11:45,040 --> 01:11:48,920
Speaker 4: But Jazz and five again, I thought Mitchell was playing

1607
01:11:48,920 --> 01:11:50,840
Speaker 4: and maybe it's a different outcoming Game one, but there's

1608
01:11:50,840 --> 01:11:53,080
Speaker 4: no way that the Grizzlies are losing four straight. Not

1609
01:11:53,200 --> 01:11:55,479
Speaker 4: with Dylan Brooks baby, oh, with the way he's playing.

1610
01:11:56,320 --> 01:11:56,720
Speaker 5: That's right.

1611
01:11:56,920 --> 01:11:59,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, so that's one I would want back. All right,

1612
01:11:59,360 --> 01:11:59,920
Speaker 2: let's wrap it up.

1613
01:12:00,080 --> 01:12:04,480
Speaker 4: The final question here, favorite highlight, random moment again, observation

1614
01:12:04,800 --> 01:12:07,880
Speaker 4: from the Western Conference, Trey, Where do you want to start?

1615
01:12:08,600 --> 01:12:12,599
Speaker 2: I loved coach Jamal Murray in the Nuggets Game one

1616
01:12:12,840 --> 01:12:15,680
Speaker 2: against the Blazers. You know, Murray got injured earlier this

1617
01:12:15,800 --> 01:12:18,679
Speaker 2: year against the Warriors, so he's not able to contribute

1618
01:12:18,720 --> 01:12:21,879
Speaker 2: on the court, but he's still bringing the memes, reacting

1619
01:12:22,000 --> 01:12:25,880
Speaker 2: hardcore basically everything that was happening out there. The big

1620
01:12:26,000 --> 01:12:30,439
Speaker 2: one was a whose man's is this? After a foul

1621
01:12:30,640 --> 01:12:34,280
Speaker 2: call that went against the Nuggets. This is like Jimmy

1622
01:12:34,360 --> 01:12:37,439
Speaker 2: Butler level face reaction to me. I can see this

1623
01:12:37,960 --> 01:12:40,599
Speaker 2: sticking around for a while if the Nuggets are able

1624
01:12:40,640 --> 01:12:41,799
Speaker 2: to continue here in the playoffs.

1625
01:12:41,840 --> 01:12:43,519
Speaker 4: Yeah, and like the hat just takes it to the

1626
01:12:43,560 --> 01:12:47,120
Speaker 4: next level. Totally soft trucker hat there the mask pulled down. Yeah,

1627
01:12:47,280 --> 01:12:49,200
Speaker 4: it's a great meme reaction. It's nice to see it

1628
01:12:49,240 --> 01:12:51,320
Speaker 4: back on the sidelines. Of course they wish they was playing,

1629
01:12:51,400 --> 01:12:52,680
Speaker 4: but that's a good one.

1630
01:12:52,880 --> 01:12:55,000
Speaker 2: I'll go next. I mean he was on the sidelines,

1631
01:12:55,040 --> 01:12:57,880
Speaker 2: but he was also almost on the court. Jamal Murray

1632
01:12:58,000 --> 01:12:59,599
Speaker 2: was like the sixth man out there.

1633
01:12:59,720 --> 01:13:02,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, he was invested in the Nuggets game.

1634
01:13:02,880 --> 01:13:03,040
Speaker 3: There.

1635
01:13:04,040 --> 01:13:06,559
Speaker 4: I'll go with Kyle Anderson's fast break and I throw

1636
01:13:06,680 --> 01:13:09,280
Speaker 4: fast break in air quotes. I love this place so much,

1637
01:13:10,160 --> 01:13:12,360
Speaker 4: great steel man. He does that all the time where

1638
01:13:12,360 --> 01:13:14,240
Speaker 4: he just pops it out and then look at this

1639
01:13:14,600 --> 01:13:17,120
Speaker 4: fast break. I know Favors is the one chase to

1640
01:13:17,160 --> 01:13:20,760
Speaker 4: come down fleet it back. I want to see that

1641
01:13:20,840 --> 01:13:24,120
Speaker 4: again because it's unbelievable. This is in real time here,

1642
01:13:24,600 --> 01:13:27,200
Speaker 4: Okay when he gets to throw and just.

1643
01:13:31,840 --> 01:13:34,679
Speaker 5: But Favors is like pumping his arms as well, which.

1644
01:13:34,600 --> 01:13:34,880
Speaker 3: Is like.

1645
01:13:37,560 --> 01:13:38,639
Speaker 2: Sprint favors.

1646
01:13:39,400 --> 01:13:42,400
Speaker 3: But you see a violation on Giannis ten seconds free throw.

1647
01:13:42,439 --> 01:13:44,200
Speaker 3: Why can't we have a ten second violation on a

1648
01:13:44,240 --> 01:13:45,080
Speaker 3: guy at a fast break?

1649
01:13:45,600 --> 01:13:47,840
Speaker 5: Three in the key, three in the ks.

1650
01:13:48,240 --> 01:13:51,800
Speaker 4: Incredibly slow for a fast break, but awesome. Still you

1651
01:13:51,840 --> 01:13:53,960
Speaker 4: had another one there just like that. He's got just

1652
01:13:54,000 --> 01:13:57,240
Speaker 4: got those crazy arms. Man, he is a great, great player.

1653
01:13:57,360 --> 01:13:59,360
Speaker 4: It's fun to have a guy like that that can

1654
01:13:59,600 --> 01:14:02,240
Speaker 4: contribute in this league. Task what about you favorite moment,

1655
01:14:02,320 --> 01:14:02,920
Speaker 4: highlight whatever.

1656
01:14:03,960 --> 01:14:08,040
Speaker 3: Well, Rudy Gobert fouled out of the game against the Grizzlies,

1657
01:14:08,080 --> 01:14:11,599
Speaker 3: and then he had a flop after he fouled out.

1658
01:14:11,640 --> 01:14:14,679
Speaker 3: I don't think I've ever seen this before. He literally

1659
01:14:14,920 --> 01:14:17,760
Speaker 3: went up to Kyle Anderson while he was on the

1660
01:14:17,840 --> 01:14:21,000
Speaker 3: baseline and just walked up to him and flopped. When

1661
01:14:21,080 --> 01:14:22,920
Speaker 3: Kyle Anderson said get out of my way with a

1662
01:14:23,000 --> 01:14:29,439
Speaker 3: little touch, Rudy Gobert hit the floor hard. I've never

1663
01:14:29,520 --> 01:14:31,479
Speaker 3: seen anything like that. I hope I never see anything

1664
01:14:31,600 --> 01:14:34,760
Speaker 3: like that again. That was absurd. I mean I did

1665
01:14:34,960 --> 01:14:37,599
Speaker 3: like guys all over the place that Trey mentioned Jamal

1666
01:14:37,720 --> 01:14:40,320
Speaker 3: Murray like sort of on the floor. The NBA is

1667
01:14:40,439 --> 01:14:43,360
Speaker 3: really allowing guys to roam on the baseline of the

1668
01:14:43,439 --> 01:14:46,720
Speaker 3: sideline throughout these first two days. But Rudy Gobert Man,

1669
01:14:46,960 --> 01:14:51,840
Speaker 3: I couldn't take it. I had to point that out

1670
01:14:51,840 --> 01:14:56,599
Speaker 3: because it's even his play on the floor was enough

1671
01:14:56,640 --> 01:14:59,920
Speaker 3: to be mad at, but then that that he should

1672
01:15:00,200 --> 01:15:03,040
Speaker 3: technical foul flop or yeah, but he should be foul

1673
01:15:03,160 --> 01:15:05,599
Speaker 3: flop or find after the fact. I know, yeah, yeah,

1674
01:15:05,880 --> 01:15:08,080
Speaker 3: I mean, it's not being in the game and flopping.

1675
01:15:08,200 --> 01:15:10,519
Speaker 4: Come on, yeah, it's it's just obviously trying to do

1676
01:15:10,600 --> 01:15:12,479
Speaker 4: anything to get an advantage for his team. You're right,

1677
01:15:12,560 --> 01:15:14,320
Speaker 4: I mean it's very Chris Paul like. To me, that's

1678
01:15:14,320 --> 01:15:16,280
Speaker 4: where my mind immediately goes. You can see Chris Paul like,

1679
01:15:16,400 --> 01:15:18,200
Speaker 4: just's like trying to think, like maybe if I just

1680
01:15:18,240 --> 01:15:20,679
Speaker 4: sort of fall over here, you know, something will happen

1681
01:15:20,720 --> 01:15:22,439
Speaker 4: to help us get some free throws or something like

1682
01:15:22,479 --> 01:15:23,360
Speaker 4: that in a close game.

1683
01:15:23,760 --> 01:15:26,599
Speaker 2: Rudy had a lot of thoughts about the refs last night.

1684
01:15:26,720 --> 01:15:29,760
Speaker 2: Obviously after the game. What was he saying. He's like,

1685
01:15:30,640 --> 01:15:32,680
Speaker 2: I don't know, I don't know how it's being officiated.

1686
01:15:32,680 --> 01:15:34,720
Speaker 2: I don't know how this game's being officiated. Sometimes I

1687
01:15:34,800 --> 01:15:36,439
Speaker 2: file guys and they say it's not a file. Then

1688
01:15:36,479 --> 01:15:38,479
Speaker 2: I follow him later and they call me for a foul.

1689
01:15:38,560 --> 01:15:44,920
Speaker 2: So they asked Shack about it. You ever been like that? Shack? No, No,

1690
01:15:45,400 --> 01:15:47,400
Speaker 2: I don't care how they're officiating the game. Just go

1691
01:15:47,520 --> 01:15:49,200
Speaker 2: out there and play it. And I think that's a

1692
01:15:49,240 --> 01:15:51,479
Speaker 2: little bit right. Just go hack people from the start.

1693
01:15:51,560 --> 01:15:54,040
Speaker 2: That's what Dylan Brooks does and earns him a rep

1694
01:15:54,120 --> 01:15:56,400
Speaker 2: is a great defender. If you do it from the beginning,

1695
01:15:56,560 --> 01:15:59,040
Speaker 2: they're not going to call it the entire game. Alee,

1696
01:15:59,240 --> 01:16:01,360
Speaker 2: wrap it up here, what's your favorite moment from the West.

1697
01:16:01,640 --> 01:16:03,920
Speaker 5: Well, we got a weggie, but I don't know if

1698
01:16:03,920 --> 01:16:05,840
Speaker 5: it counts. I think it should because it comes from

1699
01:16:05,880 --> 01:16:08,880
Speaker 5: the Great Bowbun sitting down before the game. This is

1700
01:16:08,920 --> 01:16:11,240
Speaker 5: from Luca's Instagram. And now watch how he dislodges it.

1701
01:16:11,320 --> 01:16:13,080
Speaker 5: It's up there. This is the best part.

1702
01:16:13,479 --> 01:16:15,280
Speaker 2: He barely.

1703
01:16:18,000 --> 01:16:20,559
Speaker 5: And then he does the Shack dunk afterwards as well,

1704
01:16:20,640 --> 01:16:22,400
Speaker 5: Like with the legs going out there like that, I

1705
01:16:22,479 --> 01:16:25,760
Speaker 5: mean what I think, why not let's just get we're

1706
01:16:25,800 --> 01:16:28,200
Speaker 5: getting crazy, let's just throw that in. That's a legit weggie.

1707
01:16:28,240 --> 01:16:31,120
Speaker 5: I mean sitting down from the side of the court there.

1708
01:16:31,000 --> 01:16:32,400
Speaker 2: Like he's excited about it.

1709
01:16:32,560 --> 01:16:36,519
Speaker 5: Yeah, I wish he had said it. I wish someone

1710
01:16:36,600 --> 01:16:37,559
Speaker 5: had just said Weggie.

1711
01:16:37,600 --> 01:16:38,240
Speaker 3: But look at him.

1712
01:16:38,240 --> 01:16:40,320
Speaker 5: Then he just goes and tips it like you know,

1713
01:16:40,400 --> 01:16:42,040
Speaker 5: that's like when I play with my boys out in

1714
01:16:42,040 --> 01:16:43,720
Speaker 5: the driveway. You know, I just stand up there and

1715
01:16:43,760 --> 01:16:45,479
Speaker 5: tip the ball and then.

1716
01:16:45,360 --> 01:16:48,439
Speaker 2: He dunks it. Like so you want to count that?

1717
01:16:48,680 --> 01:16:49,360
Speaker 2: Come on, why not?

1718
01:16:50,520 --> 01:16:53,360
Speaker 5: It's the wegg Weggy shirt we got today. Let's have

1771
01:19:27,560 --> 01:19:30,960
Speaker 3: least a row, I guess. And the hat still blocks

1772
01:19:31,000 --> 01:19:34,120
Speaker 3: the whole fricking thing blocks then the whole court and

1773
01:19:34,320 --> 01:19:35,040
Speaker 3: the scoreboard.

1774
01:19:35,120 --> 01:19:36,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, even though you're.

1775
01:19:37,920 --> 01:19:40,000

01:19:40,800 --> 01:19:42,920

01:19:45,240 --> 01:19:46,120
Speaker 2: with that? I couldn't.

1779
01:19:46,800 --> 01:19:50,320
Speaker 4: It would take me ten seconds then smash that thing

1780
01:19:50,400 --> 01:19:51,040
Speaker 4: down on the top.

1781
01:19:52,320 --> 01:19:57,599

Speaker 5: it a.

1783
01:19:57,840 --> 01:20:00,400
Speaker 2: Glove and slap me or something like that. Those guys

1784
01:20:00,439 --> 01:20:05,760
Speaker 2: putting the farm and state. Oh my god, if you

1785
01:20:05,880 --> 01:20:06,839

Speaker 3: You throw some curls on those burns. You got some

1789
01:20:19,320 --> 01:20:21,879
Speaker 3: serious amish fight am furniture.

1790
01:20:22,040 --> 01:20:23,519
Speaker 4: I was gonna say, I was ready to sell you

1791
01:20:23,640 --> 01:20:26,040
Speaker 4: like a rocking chair or a table or something that's

1792
01:20:26,080 --> 01:20:27,080
Speaker 4: going to be high quality.

1793
01:20:27,760 --> 01:20:30,479
Speaker 3: I thought that was a video that JD pulled up.

1794
01:20:30,920 --> 01:20:32,479
Speaker 3: I didn't think that was Lee Live.

1795
01:20:34,439 --> 01:20:35,120
Speaker 2: Talking. Yeah.

1796
01:20:36,640 --> 01:20:38,720
Speaker 5: I haven't got a lot of flexibility. It's it's it's

1797
01:20:38,840 --> 01:20:41,400
Speaker 5: it's certainly sitting out there balancing, but it's actually not

1798
01:20:41,479 --> 01:20:41,840
Speaker 5: too bad.

1799
01:20:42,120 --> 01:20:44,640
Speaker 2: Okay, it's taller than the last time you.

1800
01:20:47,680 --> 01:20:49,920
Speaker 5: Crank this baby up another ridge. Every time you see me,

1801
01:20:49,960 --> 01:20:51,120
Speaker 5: it's going to be a little bit biggery.

1802
01:20:51,760 --> 01:20:59,679
Speaker 2: There's a little crank on it. Some Roman Dick bills.

1803
01:21:02,520 --> 01:21:05,120
Speaker 4: So tonight we got two games guys, heat Bucks at

1804
01:21:05,160 --> 01:21:10,120
Speaker 4: seven thirty and Blazer's Nuggets at ten pm Eastern. Excited

1805
01:21:10,160 --> 01:21:12,160
Speaker 4: to be obviously back tomorrow to talk about these games.

1806
01:21:12,200 --> 01:21:14,200
Speaker 4: Any predictions want to be made, Trey, Like, you don't

1807
01:21:14,200 --> 01:21:15,680
Speaker 4: even have to say the game. Is there something a

1808
01:21:15,720 --> 01:21:17,360
Speaker 4: player or something that's going to happen in either of

1809
01:21:17,400 --> 01:21:18,920
Speaker 4: these games that you just want to throw at the

1810
01:21:18,960 --> 01:21:20,519
Speaker 4: people talking to existence?

1811
01:21:20,560 --> 01:21:23,400
Speaker 2: What do you got bounce back game for Jimmy Butler?

1812
01:21:24,360 --> 01:21:27,080
Speaker 2: You know he's not a jump shooter. I think Jimmy

1813
01:21:27,120 --> 01:21:28,880
Speaker 2: Butler knows that. He's one of the guys where you're like,

1814
01:21:28,920 --> 01:21:30,200
Speaker 2: at the end of the season, you're like, Wow, he

1815
01:21:30,280 --> 01:21:33,120
Speaker 2: took forty threes for an entire year. He took nine

1816
01:21:33,200 --> 01:21:36,200
Speaker 2: in Game one. That's too many for JB. So it's

1817
01:21:36,240 --> 01:21:37,920
Speaker 2: got to be layups. I think he'll be better in

1818
01:21:38,000 --> 01:21:38,400
Speaker 2: game two.

1819
01:21:38,640 --> 01:21:40,519
Speaker 4: Yeah, tess, who do you think is more likely to

1820
01:21:40,560 --> 01:21:43,200
Speaker 4: go up two zero after tonight? Is it Milwaukee or

1821
01:21:43,280 --> 01:21:44,880
Speaker 4: is it the Blazers on the road?

1822
01:21:46,280 --> 01:21:49,160
Speaker 3: I don't have confidence in either. Wow, I mean, I

1823
01:21:49,200 --> 01:21:53,080
Speaker 3: guess the Blazers. I think the heat bounced back. But yeah,

1824
01:21:53,120 --> 01:21:56,559
Speaker 3: I definitely worried more so about the Nuggets not getting

1825
01:21:56,640 --> 01:22:00,880
Speaker 3: enough production out of everyone two through thirteen under a roster.

1826
01:22:02,000 --> 01:22:04,800
Speaker 2: Sir ellis same question, Yeah, what do you think who's

1827
01:22:04,800 --> 01:22:06,680
Speaker 2: more likely to go up too?

1828
01:22:06,720 --> 01:22:06,880
Speaker 3: Well?

1829
01:22:07,160 --> 01:22:09,600
Speaker 5: I think it is more likely that the Blazers, just

1830
01:22:09,680 --> 01:22:11,680
Speaker 5: because I think after what we saw in Game one there,

1831
01:22:11,720 --> 01:22:14,960
Speaker 5: they really their backcourt depth is tough for Denver right now.

1832
01:22:15,000 --> 01:22:16,720
Speaker 5: They've got a couple of guys they can throw, but

1833
01:22:16,800 --> 01:22:19,439
Speaker 5: I think Lillard and CJ, if they can really take advantage,

1834
01:22:19,439 --> 01:22:22,320
Speaker 5: they can put some distance between themselves and the Nuggets.

1835
01:22:22,920 --> 01:22:25,559
Speaker 5: I would like to see a much better performance from

1836
01:22:25,640 --> 01:22:28,280
Speaker 5: Yannis and the Bucks, and really I think this is

1837
01:22:28,280 --> 01:22:29,880
Speaker 5: a great chance for them to go to up and

1838
01:22:30,000 --> 01:22:33,000
Speaker 5: be in a strong position against the Heat because, as

1839
01:22:33,040 --> 01:22:34,960
Speaker 5: I say, they had a bad game and pulled out

1840
01:22:35,000 --> 01:22:36,240
Speaker 5: the victory, which is all you need to do in

1841
01:22:36,280 --> 01:22:39,200
Speaker 5: the playoffs. So if they can play better, then they

1842
01:22:39,280 --> 01:22:42,080
