The word 21 00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:04,520 Speaker 2: is that Lee threw a stone so hard last night 22 00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:06,920 Speaker 2: that it's still skipping across the water and he's got 23 00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:10,360 Speaker 2: to watch it. So no Leley here on a Sunday. 24 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:13,000 Speaker 2: He should be back tomorrow though, we're gonna get into 25 00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:17,119 Speaker 2: all four games from yesterday. But first, big news, guys, 26 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:21,080 Speaker 2: the NBA playoffs have officially started. Yes, we got our 27 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:24,080 Speaker 2: first weggie. Guys, we finally popped one. 28 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:29,960 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, feels good, feels good, feels real good, feels 29 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:30,400 Speaker 1: real good. 30 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:35,119 Speaker 2: To throw up that weggie graphic Leggie number forty overlack. Yes, 31 00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:38,759 Speaker 2: leggie number forty. It was the Pacers heat game. Tyler hero, 32 00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:43,280 Speaker 2: he will be our hero here. The rare layup weggie tasks. 33 00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:44,680 Speaker 2: It was a pretty You don't see a lot of 34 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 2: those ones. Absolutely bubble yeah. 35 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 5: Absolutely not. If I had the guts, I would go 36 00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 5: back and look at every single weggie in the history 37 00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:58,280 Speaker 5: of the NBA and see how many layup weggies there were. Well, 38 00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:00,400 Speaker 5: not in the history of the NBA, sent since we 39 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:04,120 Speaker 5: started tracking them back in fourteen fifteen I believe was 40 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:07,040 Speaker 5: our first year. But that being said, this is weggie 41 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:10,840 Speaker 5: number forty. Our lowest weggie total in the modern era 42 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:15,000 Speaker 5: is forty back in seventeen eighteen, so this at least 43 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 5: tied it. At least at least we don't have the 44 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:19,480 Speaker 5: lowest weggie total despite having the fewest number of games. 45 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:24,240 Speaker 5: Because it the hiatus. So weggies per game definitely up 46 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,520 Speaker 5: higher than seventeen eighteen, and we'll probably we'll surpass it. 47 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:29,840 Speaker 5: I'm sure when it comes to the rest of the playoffs. 48 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:31,840 Speaker 5: We've still got a nice sixty games here to get 49 00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:32,680 Speaker 5: one more wedge. 50 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,079 Speaker 2: Oh jeez, one more, man, we need ten more and 51 00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:37,200 Speaker 2: you get the fifties. Though I'm still a holding note 52 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,079 Speaker 2: hope by the way too. Yeah, much love to TNTs 53 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:44,120 Speaker 2: Brian Anderson, you know, recognizing us, I guess in a 54 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 2: way with the weggie, but he gave us the shout 55 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 2: out to the starters. I mean, this is a we've 56 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,720 Speaker 2: done a poor job rebranding that we're the No Ducks Crew. 57 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,200 Speaker 2: Now when a Weggie happens, it's tough. They just go 58 00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:57,720 Speaker 2: to the starters. Come on, look on. 59 00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:00,840 Speaker 5: The bright side, Look on the mister bright side. Maybe 60 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:04,680 Speaker 5: the starters happens to prevail in people's minds, it lives 61 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:08,400 Speaker 5: on in people's minds forever. So Ba still calls us 62 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,480 Speaker 5: the starters. I also added him yesterday when we almost 63 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:14,360 Speaker 5: had a weggie. He said he got the ball was 64 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 5: in the neck, as he likes to call it, so 65 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,840 Speaker 5: I was sort of fresh on his brain. I guess 66 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,520 Speaker 5: as a member of the Starters and not No Ducks. 67 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:23,760 Speaker 4: He doesn't listen to No Dunks. 68 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 1: He watched the. 69 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,080 Speaker 2: Starters, That's what I'm saying, Tass, Yeah, I mean, is 70 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,320 Speaker 2: great again. He knows that we are the weggie masters. 71 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,960 Speaker 2: But give us the No Dunk show. We could use 72 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 2: the bump Man in terms of numbers. Come on, help 73 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:35,800 Speaker 2: us out there on. 74 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:39,279 Speaker 1: That, Brian Bump Yeah, hook us up, buddy. 75 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,600 Speaker 2: Exactly exactly, all right, So that's great. We got forty 76 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 2: weggies tend to go. Will we do it? Probably not, 77 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 2: But let's get into the games. We'll start in the 78 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:50,360 Speaker 2: Western Conference here today, Lebron Anthony Davis the power the 79 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:52,840 Speaker 2: Lakers past the Blazers for the two to one lead. 80 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,280 Speaker 2: Final score was one sixteen to one aweight, So LA 81 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 2: up two games to one. Tasks. I got a feeling 82 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 2: where you're going to go with this. But what's your 83 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 2: biggest takeaway? 84 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 5: Libro, Yeah, Lebron James is alive. Why did Lebron have 85 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 5: his first big game of the playoffs. I think for 86 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,040 Speaker 5: a couple of reasons. First, I think him and Anthony 87 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 5: Davis are going to take turns. It's like him and 88 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:16,479 Speaker 5: d Wade him and Kyrie. Anthony Davis had his monster 89 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,599 Speaker 5: in game two. Well, now it's Lebron's turn. I would 90 00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:23,039 Speaker 5: say that's probably like fifty percent of the reason. Another 91 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 5: twenty five percent of the reason is they're just learning 92 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:28,640 Speaker 5: where their shots are coming from. Everybody is a lot 93 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:32,360 Speaker 5: more comfortable. And I think the other twenty five percent 94 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 5: of the reason is that, you know, Lebron James just 95 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 5: wanted to play in this game because he saw Kawhi 96 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:44,719 Speaker 5: Leonard in Game three destroy the MAVs, and so he said, 97 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 5: all right, all right, all right, we'll see you in 98 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,040 Speaker 5: the conference finals. Kawhi, you played like the best player 99 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 5: in the league. It's time for me to respond. But 100 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 5: I think the entire LA roster is they're right. They 101 00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 5: are looking forward a little bit. They did take game 102 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:03,240 Speaker 5: one a little bit. As Anthony Davis said, they've been 103 00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,800 Speaker 5: playing about the Blazers like every game is a Game seven. 104 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:08,800 Speaker 4: Huge diss, huge diss to. 105 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:12,239 Speaker 5: The Portland Dreil Blazers, because, yeah, I think the Lakers 106 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:14,880 Speaker 5: have taken it a little bit easy, and Lebron is 107 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:17,680 Speaker 5: was trying to find out where his shots were coming from, 108 00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 5: and he's saving all his jumps and all his drives. 109 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 5: He's rationing these things because he knows he's going to 110 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:28,680 Speaker 5: be around for a couple months. So that's why we 111 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 5: got his big game one, And yeah, he looked fantastic. 112 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:34,960 Speaker 2: I thought there was another reason too, if I'm being honest. 113 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:37,600 Speaker 2: I looked it up during the game last night because 114 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:39,560 Speaker 2: I was curious. He finished with thirty eight points twelve 115 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,479 Speaker 2: board dat assists, but Kobe would have been forty two today, 116 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:44,600 Speaker 2: you know, rest in peace to the Mamba. I looked 117 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:46,880 Speaker 2: it up. I was like, what's Kobe's playoff high? What 118 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:48,120 Speaker 2: is it? 119 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 1: Actually? 120 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:52,279 Speaker 2: It was shockingly it's only fifty, only fifty. But for Kobe. 121 00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:55,160 Speaker 2: I came in an overtime loss to the Suns in six, 122 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 2: and I was like, Lebron, Oh, Lebron, you just would 123 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 2: go and try and like put up the perfect either 124 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,799 Speaker 2: like the forty two for Kobe's birthday, fifty to match 125 00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:07,800 Speaker 2: his playoff by something along those crazy lines. I wouldn't 126 00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:09,839 Speaker 2: put that past the guy like Lebron James. But of 127 00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:12,560 Speaker 2: course he came up short in this still a dominant game. 128 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 2: But that was I'd throw a one percent on that 129 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,160 Speaker 2: test that it was a bit of a mamba. Maybe 130 00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:19,839 Speaker 2: sort of tribute with them Rock and those Purple jerseys. 131 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,960 Speaker 1: Percentage are you giving it that? Lebron only scored ten 132 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:24,840 Speaker 1: points in Game two, so he needed to come out 133 00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 1: and score a bunch more points to get his series 134 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 1: average up. You know, he was ten, like one of 135 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,480 Speaker 1: his lowest scoring games in his playoff career. So he 136 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:34,120 Speaker 1: comes out, He's like, I got to do thirty eight here. 137 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 1: But it was impressive. It was a real tail of 138 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,840 Speaker 1: two halves, right. Anthony Davis couldn't get it going in 139 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,159 Speaker 1: the first half, so Lebron put the team on his back. 140 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 1: Twenty two in the second half. Lebron comes out, He's 141 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:45,760 Speaker 1: looking good in the third quarter, but then Anthony Davis 142 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 1: finally gets it going twenty three in the second half. 143 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:52,080 Speaker 1: For Anthony Davis. When those two are engaged in wanting 144 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:53,720 Speaker 1: to be the two best players on the court, the 145 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 1: Lakers looked like the Lakers again. 146 00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:58,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, it was. You know, Portland was down like three 147 00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 2: points with like nine and a half minus to go. 148 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,160 Speaker 2: Eighty comes back in like you said, Trey, and then 149 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,760 Speaker 2: it felt like he scored on an alley oop or 150 00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:08,559 Speaker 2: like a pick and pop jumper for like the next 151 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 2: like ten possessions and yeah, he had twelve in the 152 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:14,760 Speaker 2: final core. Look, I mean the Blazers they looked tired. 153 00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 2: They do, especially in their bigs. I mean Nurkic especially, 154 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:20,120 Speaker 2: I thought, had a brutal game and in a way 155 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:21,840 Speaker 2: it sort of almost got to live with the pick 156 00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:23,600 Speaker 2: and pop from Ad. He hadn't been able to hit 157 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 2: a shot the entire bubble, but he found his groove 158 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:27,320 Speaker 2: as you said in the second half. I mean it 159 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 2: was like he was splashing those and you know they 160 00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:32,440 Speaker 2: were easy. He can hit them, but he hadn't been 161 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:33,960 Speaker 2: hitting them. But what are you gonna do if you're 162 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 2: the Blazers, because otherwise you can just take nurk off 163 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:41,120 Speaker 2: the dribble. This is what we worried with the series, right, Well, 164 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:43,360 Speaker 2: who's going to stop Lebron and Ad? And are the 165 00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:46,800 Speaker 2: Blazers gas because they've played you know, nine playoff games already. Yeah, 166 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:50,080 Speaker 2: this is how it's now sort of appearing to go. 167 00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:52,720 Speaker 2: And yeah, the Lakers defense is also pretty dominant as well. 168 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:56,080 Speaker 5: Yeah, I just think more so than the Blazers being 169 00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 5: tired and that they had three months off and that's 170 00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 5: this built in excuse I'm not really buying. Yeah, they 171 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 5: played hard for eight games and then going into the playoffs. 172 00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 4: Here, but we don't have back to backs. 173 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,679 Speaker 5: Maybe they're a little emotionally drained, but I'm not buying 174 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,280 Speaker 5: that they're physically tired. They definitely have to play their 175 00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:18,440 Speaker 5: best players more that there's no choice. They're top heavy 176 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:22,480 Speaker 5: in the rotation. Four players on their roster played all 177 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:25,320 Speaker 5: twelve minutes in the fourth quarter. Four of their starters, 178 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,160 Speaker 5: you know, the big boys, the big names there on 179 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:31,360 Speaker 5: their team. Sure, that makes total sense, and that's why 180 00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:34,480 Speaker 5: Lebron I'm sorry, Anthony Davis said they're treating every game 181 00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:36,800 Speaker 5: like a game seven. Yeah, they got to win. I 182 00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 5: think the big factor is that the Lakers kind of 183 00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,720 Speaker 5: cruised through the eight games and they haven't been hitting 184 00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:44,240 Speaker 5: their stride as Anthony Davis couldn't hit a shot. He 185 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:46,000 Speaker 5: was three of twenty five from mid range in the 186 00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 5: seeding games and then in the second half, Yeah, he 187 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:52,000 Speaker 5: hit six in one freaking half of basketball. They learned 188 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:54,960 Speaker 5: where the shots coming from. They're feeling better. And yeah, 189 00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:57,320 Speaker 5: it was one to one, and yeah, I think, like 190 00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:59,640 Speaker 5: Kawhi in that map series, they don't want to go 191 00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:01,400 Speaker 5: down to two. And they felt it out for the 192 00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:04,640 Speaker 5: first couple of games and yeah, they they hammered it. 193 00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:07,360 Speaker 5: And I think it is a case of a one 194 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,520 Speaker 5: to two We can be the best two some in 195 00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:13,720 Speaker 5: basketball with Anthony Davis and Lebron James, and they felt 196 00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:15,920 Speaker 5: that out. Anthony Davis kicked us in Game two and 197 00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:19,160 Speaker 5: then it was Lebron's in Game three. But it's like 198 00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:23,360 Speaker 5: it's an entire team effort though. The way they're hitting 199 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:27,560 Speaker 5: the glass, it's dominating the Blazers. It's really hurting them. 200 00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:31,320 Speaker 5: It's strange to say that in today's NBA that the 201 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:34,320 Speaker 5: offensive rebounds and the size was a big factor. But 202 00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:37,320 Speaker 5: the Lakers are out big in the big team in 203 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:39,800 Speaker 5: the Blazers. They're just they're playing bigger. They've had forty 204 00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,680 Speaker 5: two more shots in this series because they get on 205 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:46,280 Speaker 5: the glass on the offensive end three times in this series, 206 00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:49,120 Speaker 5: all three games, they've had double digit offensive rebounds seventeen 207 00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:49,880 Speaker 5: fourteen to twelve. 208 00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:51,600 Speaker 4: And that's that's hurting big time. 209 00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:54,760 Speaker 2: Well, let's talk about the free throw discrepancy. I'll do it. 210 00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 2: I'll bring it up. I don't want to, but I 211 00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:58,640 Speaker 2: got you, Especially for the Blazers fans out there, the 212 00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:01,760 Speaker 2: Lakers made twenty eight of forty three free throws, just 213 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:03,880 Speaker 2: sixty five percent. I think that's the real reason Lee 214 00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:05,640 Speaker 2: didn't want to jump on the podcast today. It was 215 00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:08,560 Speaker 2: disgusted by the Lakers free throw shooting performance in Game three, 216 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:11,679 Speaker 2: But the Blazers only went to the line nineteen times. 217 00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:13,880 Speaker 2: It hit eighteen and nineteen, So that's nice ninety five percent. 218 00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:16,680 Speaker 2: But Lebron and Ad combined to make more free throws 219 00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:19,760 Speaker 2: than the entire Portland team. It's a big it's a 220 00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:22,680 Speaker 2: big discrepancy, no doubt. Now, if you watch the game, 221 00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:24,760 Speaker 2: there's no doubt Lebron and Ad are being much more 222 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,559 Speaker 2: aggressive than a lot of the Blazers. But trade do 223 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:29,400 Speaker 2: you think some Blazers fans have a right to be 224 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:31,520 Speaker 2: upset with this? Like what's going on with this? This 225 00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:33,679 Speaker 2: is crazy? Like Stots even like was like wow, I've 226 00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:35,160 Speaker 2: never seen that in the first half. That was a 227 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:35,840 Speaker 2: huge gap. 228 00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:39,160 Speaker 1: What do you think they have a right to be upset? 229 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:41,200 Speaker 1: It's the playoffs and if the Lakers are getting all 230 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:43,400 Speaker 1: the calls and you're the Blazers, of course you're gonna 231 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:45,800 Speaker 1: be mad. But like tasses say, and the Lakers are 232 00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:48,320 Speaker 1: taking a whole bunch of shots inside and the Blazers 233 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:51,760 Speaker 1: are looking a little bit tired, which is a recipe 234 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,320 Speaker 1: for picking up fouls. The Lakers are beating up the 235 00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:57,400 Speaker 1: glass offensively, and a lot of times on an offensive rebound, 236 00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:59,000 Speaker 1: you're right next to the rim, so it's pretty easy 237 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,520 Speaker 1: to get fouled after that. To me, you just look 238 00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:04,400 Speaker 1: at the shot charts for Davis and Lebron. You see 239 00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:07,240 Speaker 1: a whole bunch of x's and o's right next to 240 00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:10,440 Speaker 1: the rim, so you know that they're not just taking 241 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:13,800 Speaker 1: shots and not getting fouled inside. I mean, the discrepancy 242 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:17,040 Speaker 1: is huge, but that's the difference of a perimeter based 243 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:20,120 Speaker 1: team and an interior based team. The Lakers are built 244 00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 1: to draw more fouls than the Blazers are, so they. 245 00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:25,720 Speaker 5: Are and it is kind of strange that they started 246 00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:29,640 Speaker 5: useif Nerkic and Hassan Whiteside in this game, and still 247 00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:32,280 Speaker 5: that was the case they could get beat up. That's 248 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:34,320 Speaker 5: obviously what they were trying to take away was the 249 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:38,680 Speaker 5: offensive glass. But yeah, they are playing more aggressive and 250 00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:42,360 Speaker 5: there's no doubt and useif Nurkic, yeah, he had a 251 00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:45,920 Speaker 5: very average game for Usif Nurkic he is coming back 252 00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,760 Speaker 5: from that leg injury that I think is a fair 253 00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:53,200 Speaker 5: excuse that he is. He's laboring because he's playing so 254 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:54,720 Speaker 5: much coming off that injury. 255 00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,560 Speaker 2: It was funny watching this because we always are not 256 00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:02,000 Speaker 2: we but you hear people when Lebron has a bad 257 00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:04,280 Speaker 2: game where he seems like a little mentally checked out 258 00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:06,760 Speaker 2: or he's just settling for the jumper or three. You 259 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:09,280 Speaker 2: always get the thing where people are like, Lebron, why 260 00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:11,120 Speaker 2: don't you just drive every time? Why don't you just 261 00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:14,320 Speaker 2: go to the rim every time? Because you could and 262 00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:15,920 Speaker 2: you'll either get to the free throw line or you'll 263 00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:17,840 Speaker 2: just finish. And it's like that's sort of what it 264 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:20,240 Speaker 2: felt like he was just doing last night. He's like, Okay, 265 00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:22,080 Speaker 2: I'll just go to the I'll go to the rim 266 00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:24,480 Speaker 2: every single time and I'll either get fouled because I'm 267 00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:26,840 Speaker 2: a giant and they're just they can't really slow me down, 268 00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:30,240 Speaker 2: or I'll just score. And yeah, that's a big reason 269 00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:33,040 Speaker 2: why of this free throw discrepancy, no doubt. And like 270 00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:35,360 Speaker 2: they're bigs, you guys said it, the LA bigs. They 271 00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:38,360 Speaker 2: are athletic. They're fairly rested because they didn't take those 272 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:40,640 Speaker 2: seating games all that seriously, and the minutes were good. 273 00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:42,480 Speaker 2: You know, they've been spread out over all their bigs 274 00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:45,560 Speaker 2: and they were attacking, whereas the Blazers' bigs are tired, 275 00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:47,960 Speaker 2: especially Nurk through no fault of his own, and they're 276 00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:51,440 Speaker 2: slower and they're just finessing shots around the room a 277 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:53,120 Speaker 2: lot more than I think some of the Lakers guys 278 00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:55,640 Speaker 2: driving through traffic, which again you don't want to see 279 00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:59,640 Speaker 2: either discrepancy that big. But if you watch the game, 280 00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:02,640 Speaker 2: you know, I didn't see a ton of like what 281 00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:06,160 Speaker 2: I was a brutal call. Again again, I really didn't. 282 00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:07,840 Speaker 2: I mean, it was just they were more the more 283 00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:10,280 Speaker 2: aggressive team the Lakers. Sorry Blazers fans, I think that's 284 00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:11,960 Speaker 2: just the way it was in Game three. 285 00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:12,160 Speaker 4: Though. 286 00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,320 Speaker 2: I love what we're hearing from the Blazers after this game. 287 00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:18,080 Speaker 2: They're not like woe is me, We're done. They're like, 288 00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:20,160 Speaker 2: it's two to one. All we gotta do now is 289 00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:21,600 Speaker 2: we got to win game four and so the best 290 00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:24,200 Speaker 2: of three. Like Lillard said this, Mellow said, they almost 291 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:26,480 Speaker 2: were like that era of like we got them right 292 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,000 Speaker 2: where we want them, which is like, I mean, some 293 00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,920 Speaker 2: confidence right there. But again just backs up my theory 294 00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:35,920 Speaker 2: that Lillard knows how this ends because he's doctor strange, 295 00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:38,640 Speaker 2: but Mellow. The Mellow run was fun. Anything to add 296 00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:41,160 Speaker 2: to that when he caught fire there for a good 297 00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:42,160 Speaker 2: chunk of the third quarter. 298 00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:44,440 Speaker 1: I was loving it that third quarter. It was a 299 00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:47,560 Speaker 1: Mellow just getting buckets every way that you expect Mellow too. 300 00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,600 Speaker 1: You're start thinking, is this enough? Is a Mellow gonna 301 00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:53,200 Speaker 1: be on fire enough here in the second half to 302 00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:55,960 Speaker 1: pull the Blazers to a victory. It wasn't meant to be, 303 00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:58,680 Speaker 1: but he was given an incredible effort, you know he was. 304 00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:01,760 Speaker 1: He was playing pretty so alid defense, especially for Mellow, 305 00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:03,840 Speaker 1: and then getting his mid range on. It was fun 306 00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:05,640 Speaker 1: to watch. It was a throwback to twenty twelve. I 307 00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:06,160 Speaker 1: was loving it. 308 00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:06,959 Speaker 4: Yeah. 309 00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:11,320 Speaker 5: It was the most combined points ever in a game 310 00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:16,320 Speaker 5: between two competitors, most career points with Lebron and Carmelo 311 00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:19,280 Speaker 5: Anthony this series. I guess I should say that they've 312 00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:22,440 Speaker 5: scored the most career points of two guys on opposite teams. Ever, 313 00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:23,560 Speaker 5: It's just that's just. 314 00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:25,480 Speaker 2: Never sixty thousand plus right. 315 00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:27,840 Speaker 4: Wow, Yeah, good numbers, no idea? 316 00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:27,960 Speaker 6: What? 317 00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:31,480 Speaker 5: Yeah the nice graphic there, sixty k those two dudes 318 00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:34,680 Speaker 5: going at it, and yeah, it's never a great sign 319 00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:37,560 Speaker 5: of Melo's taking over your offense. But hey, for one game, 320 00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:39,920 Speaker 5: it was Yeah, it was fun to watch. I think 321 00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:43,720 Speaker 5: we would all be talking about Lebron and Ad missing 322 00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:47,400 Speaker 5: their free throws if they lost games, because it was 323 00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:50,080 Speaker 5: weird seeing them clank again. They did in the fourth 324 00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:52,800 Speaker 5: quarter in Game one and then in this one as well, 325 00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:57,560 Speaker 5: Anthony Davis seven to fourteen and Lebron with eight turnovers 326 00:14:57,680 --> 00:14:59,640 Speaker 5: twelve to seventeen from the free throw line. But it 327 00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:02,520 Speaker 5: just showed those two dudes can do what they want 328 00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:04,880 Speaker 5: on the floor. I don't think you can really gripe 329 00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:07,480 Speaker 5: about the foul calls when those two dudes are just 330 00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:10,760 Speaker 5: they're bigger and they can handle, and the bigs on 331 00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:13,400 Speaker 5: the Blazers can't do what they can do. It's just 332 00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:16,320 Speaker 5: it's they are the two best players when they want 333 00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:18,480 Speaker 5: to be, and everybody knows the roles. Now on the Lakers, 334 00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:21,640 Speaker 5: I found one of the most hilarious possessions were was 335 00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:24,400 Speaker 5: Lebron and a d in the front court and they 336 00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:27,200 Speaker 5: just hung out while the Blazers went to go score. 337 00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:28,040 Speaker 4: And it was. 338 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:33,160 Speaker 5: Alex Caruso, Mark If Morris and KCP. They're playing a 339 00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:36,600 Speaker 5: defensive possession. It was like three on three, and they 340 00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:38,840 Speaker 5: A D and Lebron just hung out in the front 341 00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:40,400 Speaker 5: court and like, you guys handle it. It was just 342 00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:43,080 Speaker 5: a long possession where they didn't come back. Then the 343 00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:46,680 Speaker 5: Blazers get an offensive rebound and the Lakers A D 344 00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:48,360 Speaker 5: and Lebron are like, oh, yeah, I guess we should 345 00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:50,600 Speaker 5: come back. Lebron was the only Lebron was the only 346 00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:52,720 Speaker 5: one who came back, got a rebound, then threw it 347 00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:55,040 Speaker 5: up to Cherry Pick and a D. They just everybody 348 00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:57,480 Speaker 5: knows those two dudes when they want, we're gonna score 349 00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:00,120 Speaker 5: and take over everybody else. Scrap your ass off, and 350 00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:01,920 Speaker 5: that's how we're going to get to the NBA Finals. 351 00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:04,920 Speaker 5: So they're they're ready, they're they're ready to do their thing. 352 00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:06,840 Speaker 5: Just don't pass the ball to Danny Green. It just 353 00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:09,280 Speaker 5: seems like they're never passing to Danny Green, even though 354 00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:10,760 Speaker 5: he had a couple threes in this one. He is 355 00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:13,840 Speaker 5: the fifth option with a bullet whenever he's on the floor. 356 00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:15,560 Speaker 5: They're not passing to the dude. 357 00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:18,400 Speaker 2: He can't hit a shot to save his life. Right now. 358 00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:20,960 Speaker 2: I know they're not even really close, but this is 359 00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:23,200 Speaker 2: you know again, this is what happens with Danny Green. 360 00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:25,560 Speaker 2: He'll catch fire. Eventually, he'll he'll pop say. 361 00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:27,240 Speaker 1: You want them to be missing in round one, not 362 00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:29,560 Speaker 1: in the finals. But I mean what they got two 363 00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:32,080 Speaker 1: threes from Danny Green, three from KCP. There was a 364 00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:35,320 Speaker 1: little KCP running one from Alex Caruso. If you're getting 365 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:37,760 Speaker 1: six threes from your back court for the Lakers, I 366 00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:40,280 Speaker 1: don't care really how many other ones they're missing. Six 367 00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:42,400 Speaker 1: threes is a lot from those three guys at this point. 368 00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:45,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, you're right, there was that. You just reminded me 369 00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:47,480 Speaker 2: tasks because it wasn't that. There was that clip where 370 00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:51,080 Speaker 2: Jeff Van Gunny was going crazy that the Lakers weren't 371 00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:55,000 Speaker 2: getting back on defense, right. He was just going bonkers 372 00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:57,400 Speaker 2: like what are you doing? But I don't know why 373 00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:00,280 Speaker 2: he failed to point out, like the two Blazers eyes, 374 00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:03,120 Speaker 2: we're not gonna get back on offense. It was like 375 00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:05,399 Speaker 2: Whiteside was like still there was like we're just not 376 00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:07,080 Speaker 2: gonna go down there. It was like pickup ball. It 377 00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:08,680 Speaker 2: was like a couple of guys who just decided that 378 00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:11,320 Speaker 2: we're not you guys just played three on three for 379 00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:13,760 Speaker 2: a second. We'll just way down here. Yeah. It was like, 380 00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:15,639 Speaker 2: you know, you could also be getting mad at a 381 00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:17,439 Speaker 2: couple of the Blazers for not getting one of them. 382 00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:19,760 Speaker 2: I think it was Nurka. Whiteside eventually made their way 383 00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:22,200 Speaker 2: down there and they still didn't score. But yeah, it 384 00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:22,919 Speaker 2: was pretty funny. 385 00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:27,160 Speaker 5: Yeah, and you mentioned the guard play of getting enough 386 00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:30,960 Speaker 5: threes from those Lakers guards. Jean Rondo sitting on the 387 00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:34,399 Speaker 5: sideline apparently at back spasms. He has the thumb injury, 388 00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:38,480 Speaker 5: but that's that's healed, and now back spasms held him out. 389 00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:40,600 Speaker 5: I would just be worried. I think, you know, if 390 00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:43,480 Speaker 5: you're thinking about the Clippers, the Clippers are at least 391 00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:47,400 Speaker 5: pretty whole, you know, other than Patrick Beverley. I would 392 00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:50,159 Speaker 5: just be worried if you're gonna bring Region Rondo back 393 00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:52,919 Speaker 5: in round two, in round three and just mess with 394 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,640 Speaker 5: the chemistry, get him back now if I was if 395 00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:58,520 Speaker 5: I was Frank Vogel and he's healthy, obviously I guess 396 00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:00,720 Speaker 5: he wasn't, but I would just rather get back now 397 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:04,240 Speaker 5: because it's just another little thing they got to work out, 398 00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:08,680 Speaker 5: and then the camaraderie cohesive advantage would go to the Clippers, 399 00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:11,520 Speaker 5: which would be strange. But anyways, I'm looking forward to 400 00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:15,400 Speaker 5: to some Araji and Rondo just throwing another wrench into 401 00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:16,919 Speaker 5: the Planets there one more. 402 00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:20,119 Speaker 2: Time, all right, Game four obviously on Monday, between those 403 00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:23,119 Speaker 2: two teams. Okay, let's get to okay, see getting their 404 00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:25,880 Speaker 2: first win here the playoffs. Three guards there help push 405 00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:28,359 Speaker 2: the Thunder over the Rockets one nineteen one oh seven. 406 00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:31,600 Speaker 2: In overtime, I used to have a really really close game. 407 00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:33,200 Speaker 2: It felt like we had had a lot of blowouts 408 00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:34,800 Speaker 2: over the last couple days with this one right down 409 00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:36,480 Speaker 2: in the wire. A lot to talk about actually in 410 00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:39,040 Speaker 2: this one. So Trey get Us started, what's your first 411 00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:40,200 Speaker 2: takeaway from the thunder win? 412 00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:42,680 Speaker 1: Well, you mentioned it. The guards were great. The Thunder 413 00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:45,359 Speaker 1: played this one perfectly. Twenty nine for Dennis Shrewder, twenty 414 00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:49,880 Speaker 1: six forn Dennis Paul and twenty three for Dennis Gildos 415 00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:53,760 Speaker 1: Alexander as well. And you know also Dennis Gallinari got 416 00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:55,600 Speaker 1: to twenty points. I thought the Thunder just played this 417 00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:57,720 Speaker 1: one perfectly, keeping it close. They were the ones that 418 00:18:57,840 --> 00:18:59,720 Speaker 1: hit first, so they didn't have to be playing catch 419 00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:01,600 Speaker 1: up for the entirety of the game. Because that's where 420 00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:04,480 Speaker 1: things are really going to be the problem for the Thunder. 421 00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:07,520 Speaker 1: They just can't score as quickly as the Rockets can 422 00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:10,040 Speaker 1: when the Rockets are really hitting. But I do think 423 00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:12,720 Speaker 1: when we're when we're looking back at this series, if 424 00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:15,399 Speaker 1: Okase's able to make this a comeback, the Rockets are 425 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,080 Speaker 1: going to really be kicking themselves for losing this game, 426 00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:20,720 Speaker 1: because it felt to me like they took their foot 427 00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:22,280 Speaker 1: off the gas there at the end. They got up 428 00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:24,600 Speaker 1: five with about two minutes left, there's a big Jeff 429 00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:27,320 Speaker 1: Green dunk. They were still up five with a minute left, 430 00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:30,359 Speaker 1: and it seemed like Houston was pretty much just willing 431 00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:34,600 Speaker 1: to trade buckets down stretch. But then somebody steps out 432 00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:36,400 Speaker 1: of bounds, then you miss a free throw. The next 433 00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:39,240 Speaker 1: thing you know, you're there's a kickout to Shay in 434 00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:43,159 Speaker 1: the corner, money three, Chris Paul barely misses a layup 435 00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:46,239 Speaker 1: hard and files out, and suddenly the Rockets are like, uh, 436 00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:49,080 Speaker 1: oh yeah, Chris Paul catches fire and ot. I don't know. 437 00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:51,280 Speaker 1: I thought like the Rockets should have won that game. 438 00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:53,919 Speaker 1: Okase really pulled it up. They played forty eight minutes, 439 00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:57,000 Speaker 1: actually fifty three minutes, and it felt like, uh, Houston 440 00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:59,040 Speaker 1: played forty seven because they thought they had to win, 441 00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:01,960 Speaker 1: and they probably should. I had to win. So you know, okay, 442 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,200 Speaker 1: see now just down to one, could be two to 443 00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:06,879 Speaker 1: two after four, could have been a three zero series, 444 00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:09,399 Speaker 1: no doubt for Houston. So if this turns a little 445 00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:12,000 Speaker 1: more competitive, if okay, so he's able to pull off 446 00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,160 Speaker 1: the comeback, we're gonna look back at that last minute 447 00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:14,760 Speaker 1: a game three. 448 00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:17,720 Speaker 2: Oh absolutely, they were doing the classic like anything but 449 00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:19,879 Speaker 2: a three, anything but a three. And so the thunder 450 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:21,960 Speaker 2: just all right, we'll just take this easy layup like 451 00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:24,600 Speaker 2: very quickly. That's okay, okay, we'll score on the other end. 452 00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:27,080 Speaker 2: And you broke it down there perfectly. Trade. That's exactly 453 00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:29,720 Speaker 2: what I thought too. I was like, ohhh uh oh. 454 00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:32,200 Speaker 2: And then we had some shenanigans at the end there too, 455 00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:35,800 Speaker 2: with the uh the Harden and Chris Paul task the 456 00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:39,159 Speaker 2: double flop at the end of regulation. At least in 457 00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:43,160 Speaker 2: my opinion, both those guys trying to you know, ref 458 00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:46,399 Speaker 2: bait do that do the action there where they're gonna 459 00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:48,480 Speaker 2: like lock up with the guy and then flop away, 460 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:51,600 Speaker 2: and they both basically did it. And in the end, 461 00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:54,000 Speaker 2: I guess the Rockets kept a ball in that possession. 462 00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:56,919 Speaker 2: And then then then there was more shenanigans where you 463 00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:59,200 Speaker 2: know Thunder ended up getting it back, but my goodness, 464 00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:01,480 Speaker 2: that was insane. And then yeah, the crazy potential game 465 00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:04,320 Speaker 2: winner from Chris Paul there flipping it over his head. 466 00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:06,560 Speaker 2: The thing nearly drops. There's a lot going on here. 467 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:08,840 Speaker 2: And I would even add to what Trey was talking about, 468 00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:11,399 Speaker 2: Billy Donovan, I thought tried to give the game away 469 00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:15,640 Speaker 2: when he took out Dort, who was doing a fantastic job. 470 00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:17,480 Speaker 2: He took him out for a couple of minutes there. 471 00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:20,320 Speaker 2: Harden set up Jeff Green for a three. Harden went 472 00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:24,320 Speaker 2: right through Shrewder for a easy like easy driving a bucket, 473 00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:26,240 Speaker 2: and I'm like, oh my god, what are you doing? Donovan? 474 00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:28,439 Speaker 2: He got him back in there, and George did a 475 00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:31,359 Speaker 2: phenomenal job for the most part on Harden. But what 476 00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:32,679 Speaker 2: do you think of this? Do you agree with what 477 00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:36,040 Speaker 2: Trey's saying there? If this becomes competitive, the Rockets are 478 00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:37,359 Speaker 2: going to be looking back at this one going what 479 00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:37,760 Speaker 2: did we do? 480 00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:40,600 Speaker 4: Just such a fun seven minutes. 481 00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:43,600 Speaker 5: You mentioned the Chris Paul and James Harden trying to 482 00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:47,080 Speaker 5: draw a foul on each other as there looked like 483 00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:49,720 Speaker 5: they were dancing while someone was trying to inbound the ball. 484 00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:52,639 Speaker 5: They're hugging each other, getting real, real close. I thought 485 00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:55,920 Speaker 5: everything was finally right in the world in twenty twenty 486 00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:58,800 Speaker 5: when those two dudes are hugging and trying to draw 487 00:21:58,840 --> 00:21:59,680 Speaker 5: a foul. 488 00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:01,600 Speaker 4: It was absolutely perfect. 489 00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:05,159 Speaker 5: Those five seconds in the universe of twenty twenty, I 490 00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:08,760 Speaker 5: thought were perfect. I agree that it felt like the 491 00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:11,199 Speaker 5: Rockets of the last few years. They were playing not 492 00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:14,880 Speaker 5: to lose rather than to win. When James Harden had 493 00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:18,280 Speaker 5: the ball there, they're up three points and they got 494 00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:20,960 Speaker 5: the ball after a Chris Paul lay up about fifty 495 00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:23,439 Speaker 5: seconds left, and James Harden was just dribbling up the 496 00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:26,359 Speaker 5: shot clock. They weren't playing to win the game. They 497 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:28,959 Speaker 5: were just playing to hopefully, we'll hang on to this 498 00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:32,520 Speaker 5: thing and we'll take a shot at the thirty second 499 00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:35,520 Speaker 5: mark and maybe it'll go in and we'll be up five. 500 00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:40,480 Speaker 5: It's just it wasn't logical sense. That was exactly like 501 00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:43,679 Speaker 5: the last few years when people would rip the Houston 502 00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:46,560 Speaker 5: Rockets and say what the heck are you doing? Stuff 503 00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:50,080 Speaker 5: like that, and listen, I think Harden, Yeah, he drove 504 00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:53,280 Speaker 5: through shrewder there as you mentioned, their skeits, and he 505 00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:56,720 Speaker 5: found his way in the second half. But a lot 506 00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:59,960 Speaker 5: of possessions. He would not find his way for the 507 00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:03,239 Speaker 5: first eighteen or nineteen seconds in the second half when 508 00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:05,800 Speaker 5: it's winning time, and he would just say, hey you 509 00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:08,080 Speaker 5: take it, Hey you, Jeff Green, you take it, and 510 00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:10,119 Speaker 5: sometimes Jeff Green would pay it off, or hey you, 511 00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:12,159 Speaker 5: Daniel House take it. At the end of the shock clocks. 512 00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:17,040 Speaker 5: It just wasn't good basketball. And the fact that that, okay, 513 00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:18,800 Speaker 5: so he didn't romp them is a great sign for 514 00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:23,480 Speaker 5: the Rockets. They're still playing hard defense. Okay, see, just 515 00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:26,920 Speaker 5: just managed to pull this out. So sure it would 516 00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:29,480 Speaker 5: have been great for the Rockets to pull this thing out, 517 00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:34,840 Speaker 5: but I think I think they still have the advantage 518 00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:37,000 Speaker 5: despite Yeah, you mentioned all the guards. That's that's the 519 00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:39,600 Speaker 5: big thing for Okay, see here in this game. This 520 00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:42,240 Speaker 5: is the number one takeaway for me. Is that Shay Gilders, 521 00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:45,840 Speaker 5: Alexander or what'd you call them? What did you call 522 00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:50,320 Speaker 5: all all Dennis's, all Dennis's or dance all Dans or 523 00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:53,520 Speaker 5: Dennis's days are dance. That's that's the old starters, Dan's 524 00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:55,439 Speaker 5: or Daves days or Dennis is. Now everybody's just a 525 00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:59,480 Speaker 5: Dennis Dennis Gallin are no the guards, Shay, Chris Paul 526 00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:03,840 Speaker 5: and Dennis all decided, after we have some ball movement, 527 00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:07,280 Speaker 5: we can find the matchup that we want with this 528 00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:10,800 Speaker 5: switching defense, and we can find a big big the 529 00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:13,880 Speaker 5: guys that the Rockets play up there three four five, 530 00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:17,119 Speaker 5: like Covington or Jeff Green. You know, even if you 531 00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:19,720 Speaker 5: get James Harden, they can blow by him because there's 532 00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:23,560 Speaker 5: not really a shoplocker back there. They're going to collapse 533 00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:26,880 Speaker 5: and they were, and they're gonna leave lou Dort open 534 00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:30,360 Speaker 5: or somebody open. But those guys should have a lot 535 00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:32,720 Speaker 5: of space out there, and I think that's what they realized. 536 00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:35,920 Speaker 5: They realized, Hey, they're really loading up on the ball. 537 00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:38,600 Speaker 5: Let's move this thing and get by them. So the guards, 538 00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:41,720 Speaker 5: the guards understood what they can do, and now we 539 00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:42,439 Speaker 5: got a series. 540 00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:43,359 Speaker 4: Now they should be fun. 541 00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:47,560 Speaker 2: Man lou Dort, this is he is getting a lot 542 00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:49,480 Speaker 2: of buzz right now for lou Dort and the job 543 00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:51,960 Speaker 2: he did again, phenomenal job he did at least slowing 544 00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:54,520 Speaker 2: hard to down. These two going at it are like 545 00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:59,159 Speaker 2: that famous like slow motion clip of two rams like 546 00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:02,320 Speaker 2: butting Head, you know the clip I'm talking about. Like that, 547 00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:06,679 Speaker 2: these guys are just built like Mac trucks. And they 548 00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:09,320 Speaker 2: don't really budge each other. It's really really fun to watch. 549 00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:11,760 Speaker 2: But he did great job. Harden fouls out in overtime. 550 00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:14,239 Speaker 2: He said it there, Trey and then you know that, 551 00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:16,600 Speaker 2: and he followed out when the Rockets failed to get 552 00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:19,920 Speaker 2: a defensive rebound. That's actually what happened on that play. 553 00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:22,840 Speaker 2: And then Dort grabbed another offensive rebound with like three 554 00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:24,439 Speaker 2: point thirty to go in overtime, and that led to 555 00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:26,200 Speaker 2: the Chris Paul three, And yeah, he was on fire. 556 00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:28,399 Speaker 2: So Dorrit was a game changer in this one to 557 00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:30,479 Speaker 2: the point where, like I know, Royce Young, who obviously 558 00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:34,280 Speaker 2: is a fantastic OKC reporter or beat reporter, he's wondering 559 00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:37,280 Speaker 2: here within this game, in this series, now, does Donovan 560 00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:39,000 Speaker 2: have the decision, you know, does he go with this 561 00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:42,320 Speaker 2: preferred closing lineup, which was statistically the best in the 562 00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:45,560 Speaker 2: NBA season, or does he have to make room for 563 00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:50,080 Speaker 2: Dort in this lineup and either bench Gallinari or bench Adams. 564 00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:51,840 Speaker 2: And I think the answer is you got a bench 565 00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:54,480 Speaker 2: Adams here who has not giving them a ton in 566 00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:57,240 Speaker 2: my opinion, and you put Gallinari at the five, you've 567 00:25:57,280 --> 00:25:59,600 Speaker 2: got your defensive stopper in Dort. Yeah, they're gonna leave him. 568 00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:01,639 Speaker 2: You're gonna he can maybe hit one or two threes 569 00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:03,919 Speaker 2: and you just got a little bit more room to 570 00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:06,359 Speaker 2: operate there. What do you think with that decision for 571 00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:08,200 Speaker 2: the Donovan's got to make here, not only in that game, 572 00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:09,840 Speaker 2: in game three, but moving forward. 573 00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:12,880 Speaker 1: It's time for the Dort report. That's what I think 574 00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:14,800 Speaker 1: we saw the last minute of that game. You know, 575 00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:17,280 Speaker 1: Steven Adams went out with an injury and had to 576 00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:20,560 Speaker 1: move Gallinowari up to the five, and they played that 577 00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:24,160 Speaker 1: last minute and then into overtime with Gallinari at the five. 578 00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:25,719 Speaker 1: And I think that that just makes a little bit 579 00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:28,920 Speaker 1: more sense playing against this Houston Rockets team because Adams 580 00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:31,359 Speaker 1: isn't going to punish them for playing small. He'll he 581 00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:33,359 Speaker 1: might hurt you on the offensive glass a little bit, 582 00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:35,359 Speaker 1: but we know the post ups aren't going to be 583 00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:37,560 Speaker 1: the way for okay see to win this thing. So 584 00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:39,080 Speaker 1: I think you're going to see a little bit more 585 00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:42,120 Speaker 1: Danilo at the five because Billy Donovan said afterwards that 586 00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:44,439 Speaker 1: Adams could have come back in in overtime, right, but 587 00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:46,399 Speaker 1: the little guys were playing really well, and it just 588 00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:49,240 Speaker 1: seems to make more sense if you can stay in 589 00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:51,320 Speaker 1: that mode where you want to keep the ball moving. 590 00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:54,320 Speaker 1: That's the big thing for the Thunder is if you're 591 00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:56,760 Speaker 1: going to play small, you're playing Rockets basketball to begin 592 00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:58,800 Speaker 1: right there. But you have to play okay se style, 593 00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:00,720 Speaker 1: keep it moving. That's the way to beat the Rockets 594 00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:02,760 Speaker 1: because if you get into the iso fest, that's their 595 00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:04,600 Speaker 1: advantage task. 596 00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:05,520 Speaker 2: What do you think, same thing? 597 00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:06,679 Speaker 4: Yeah, totally. 598 00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:10,680 Speaker 5: I like the the idea of the the two rhinos 599 00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:13,720 Speaker 5: going at it as much as possible and James Harden 600 00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:17,320 Speaker 5: and lou Dort and whether or not they they more 601 00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:21,760 Speaker 5: from two rhinos going at it to two hippos flicking 602 00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:24,400 Speaker 5: their poop when they're trying to defend their territory. That's 603 00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:28,080 Speaker 5: one of my favorite YouTube clips is when hippos are 604 00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:30,560 Speaker 5: having a bowel movement and they flick it with their tail. 605 00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:34,080 Speaker 4: That's definitely that. I love that obviously. 606 00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:36,200 Speaker 5: And I actually was at the zoo with my wife 607 00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:38,080 Speaker 5: and I and I made a joke about that, and 608 00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:40,840 Speaker 5: she said, that's a rhino. Rhinos don't do that. We're 609 00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:43,119 Speaker 5: looking at a rhino rather than a hippo. Only hippos 610 00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:43,439 Speaker 5: do that. 611 00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:45,960 Speaker 2: You and I was talking about rams, but you also 612 00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:48,880 Speaker 2: really Yeah, you got, Yeah, you got Rhino on. 613 00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:56,800 Speaker 4: The break, Dan's or Rhinos and Rhino. I'll stop. 614 00:27:59,600 --> 00:27:59,960 Speaker 2: Keep trying. 615 00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:04,119 Speaker 5: Okay, Yeah, I that is definitely it's a fun matchup 616 00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:05,800 Speaker 5: to watch those two. You guys at it so as 617 00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:08,120 Speaker 5: much dort as we can get out there. I had 618 00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:11,359 Speaker 5: flashbacks have Dante X with the Utah Jazz when the 619 00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:15,600 Speaker 5: last couple of playoffs they threw Dante xhim out there 620 00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:18,120 Speaker 5: to be there James Harden stopper. It obviously didn't work, 621 00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:21,720 Speaker 5: but he's got the body type and those those three 622 00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:22,680 Speaker 5: pointers will go down. 623 00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:24,000 Speaker 4: They'll go down eventually. 624 00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:27,399 Speaker 5: There are some bad chucks some summer, you know, wide left, 625 00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:29,880 Speaker 5: but you gotta trust them. And then I thought, why 626 00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:31,240 Speaker 5: not Andre Roberson. 627 00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:31,240 Speaker 4: A little bit? 628 00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:33,119 Speaker 5: I mean, he can't really hang out with James Harden, 629 00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:36,600 Speaker 5: but Andre Robertson is on that bench ready to knock 630 00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:39,880 Speaker 5: down a triple perhaps perhaps you know, he's a capable 631 00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:42,000 Speaker 5: guy and a very good defensive player, and he's back 632 00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:45,400 Speaker 5: from injury. But there's some options now for Billy Donovan 633 00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:47,800 Speaker 5: and they've found their way. But yeah, they're probably gonna 634 00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:48,160 Speaker 5: go small. 635 00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:50,120 Speaker 2: I agree, I think so. At least we've got a 636 00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:51,800 Speaker 2: bit of a series here now. I mean, if the 637 00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:54,360 Speaker 2: Rockets pulled that out, we're looking at a potential another suite. 638 00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:56,640 Speaker 2: But you know, we're gonna have some more games. It's 639 00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:59,080 Speaker 2: always great for the NBA fans out there. So whether 640 00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:01,760 Speaker 2: or not the hard you know, Harden just lights doored 641 00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:04,200 Speaker 2: up in game four, they suddenly can't miss the three. 642 00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:06,640 Speaker 2: I think that's still in play, yeah, because like like 643 00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:08,520 Speaker 2: they could fall into their trap of like, oh you 644 00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:11,240 Speaker 2: want now you're going small like us. Oh you're just 645 00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:13,160 Speaker 2: gonna have a three point contest. Now we're gonna beat 646 00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:15,440 Speaker 2: you at that. So at least that was exciting that 647 00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:17,920 Speaker 2: the Thunder pulled it out. In overtime, Chris Paul took over, 648 00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:21,520 Speaker 2: you know, despite punching guys in the balls incidentally, he says. 649 00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:24,000 Speaker 2: And the double flop, I mean, I loved having Doris 650 00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:26,520 Speaker 2: Burke on the call when the when the double flop 651 00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:28,320 Speaker 2: was happening. And if you go back and watch it, 652 00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:30,320 Speaker 2: and I would, this was happening in real time for me. 653 00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:34,560 Speaker 2: You could see both guys getting ready to pull off 654 00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:38,000 Speaker 2: the shenanigans like the flopping, the like trying to again 655 00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:40,120 Speaker 2: draw the ref into thinking like they got pushed or 656 00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:42,280 Speaker 2: pulled or whatever. Like. You can just see it going 657 00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:43,800 Speaker 2: through their eyes, like here we go, here we go. 658 00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:45,640 Speaker 2: The ball hasn't been anymount yet. I'm gonna lock up 659 00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:47,680 Speaker 2: and then I'm gonna flop, and they like both basically 660 00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:50,000 Speaker 2: did it. But Doris Burke was It was nice to 661 00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:52,920 Speaker 2: have her at least like calling it out to some extent, 662 00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:55,640 Speaker 2: you know what I mean. I think she was more 663 00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:57,720 Speaker 2: I guess she was coming to the defence of Chris 664 00:29:57,760 --> 00:29:59,800 Speaker 2: Paul a little bit more right. She was saying Harden 665 00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:03,480 Speaker 2: was really engaging in the lock up, but they both 666 00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:07,160 Speaker 2: both blatantly were trying to screw the referees there. She 667 00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:09,360 Speaker 2: had just been called double fouls. That's why we have 668 00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:13,440 Speaker 2: double fouls, even though everybody hates that. 669 00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:14,960 Speaker 1: A double foul called until it's the perfect time. 670 00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:17,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, I means you got also. 671 00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:19,400 Speaker 1: Great having Doris Burke on the call, because apparently she 672 00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:23,240 Speaker 1: was doing the broadcast when Chris Paul punched Julius Hodge 673 00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:26,200 Speaker 1: in the nuts, you know, like fifteen years ago. I'll 674 00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:28,480 Speaker 1: always remember that clip and it was almost exactly the 675 00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:31,040 Speaker 1: same as this one with who did you get this time? 676 00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:35,160 Speaker 1: In the Hibberts nah Ben Macklamore, Ben Maclamore right the bends. Yeah, 677 00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:38,160 Speaker 1: this one looked a little bit more incidental. Yeah, when 678 00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:40,800 Speaker 1: you got the rep man, your reputation is tainted. 679 00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:43,680 Speaker 2: Didn't credently if I'm wrong. When he did that to 680 00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:46,360 Speaker 2: Julius Hodges, he hit a game winner. I think that 681 00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:49,719 Speaker 2: game too could be I think, And then you know, 682 00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:52,320 Speaker 2: he obviously almost had the game winner in this one. Again, 683 00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:54,680 Speaker 2: that little flip over his head shot and was pretty 684 00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:57,760 Speaker 2: instrumental in overtime. Yeah, so that really gets Chris Paul going. 685 00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:02,360 Speaker 2: He's got touchdown punch nuts too. Yeah, check the man. Yeah, 686 00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:04,120 Speaker 2: pretty crazy. 687 00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:06,280 Speaker 5: And he would have definitely got a lot of flak 688 00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:09,600 Speaker 5: if the OKAYC didn't pull this out because of that 689 00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:11,360 Speaker 5: shot over his head. 690 00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:12,880 Speaker 4: It was bonkers. 691 00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:15,760 Speaker 5: I mean, I think he was just sort of caught 692 00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:19,440 Speaker 5: mid do I pass it to somebody? Is there somebody cutting? 693 00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:22,760 Speaker 5: Or maybe he didn't even look for the reverse off 694 00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:23,280 Speaker 5: the glass. 695 00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:25,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know why he didn't go with the glass. 696 00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:28,239 Speaker 2: That part was strange. I mean he had I mean, 697 00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:31,360 Speaker 2: that's a makeable layup for an NBA player. Yeah, even 698 00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:34,800 Speaker 2: the little flip over the heads orthodox but yeah. 699 00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:35,600 Speaker 4: Hundred percent. 700 00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:38,680 Speaker 5: Yeah, and he just was fresh off of playing Horse 701 00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:41,320 Speaker 5: three times on ESPN. Did he go to the finals? 702 00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:44,040 Speaker 5: I don't know, maybe not three times, but yeah, that 703 00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:47,560 Speaker 5: was definitely makeable, but it was It was just strange. 704 00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:49,040 Speaker 5: He would have got a lot of the oh, Chris 705 00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:52,200 Speaker 5: Paul ain't clutch flak if if if they go down 706 00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:55,120 Speaker 5: three to zero after that. But he had a great game. 707 00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:59,720 Speaker 5: He was dominant and uh got his boy is going again. 708 00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:01,840 Speaker 4: So now we've got a series. We definitely have a 709 00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:02,600 Speaker 4: great series coming. 710 00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:04,440 Speaker 2: All right, let's go to the Eastern Conference. Here, the 711 00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:07,960 Speaker 2: Greek Freak leads the Efficient Bucks to the one twenty one, 712 00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:10,960 Speaker 2: one oh seven route over the Magic. This was the 713 00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:14,000 Speaker 2: first game of the day on Saturday, and it was 714 00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:16,160 Speaker 2: over in a hurry on at thirty five, eleven and 715 00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:18,400 Speaker 2: seven tasts. He was pretty dominant. 716 00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:19,920 Speaker 4: It was fantastic. 717 00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:22,960 Speaker 5: I think the moment that he was the most excited though, 718 00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:25,080 Speaker 5: was when Chris Middleton hit a shot. 719 00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:26,760 Speaker 4: He was so pumped. 720 00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:31,840 Speaker 5: He was so animated for Chris Middleton hitting one single 721 00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:34,240 Speaker 5: shot in Game three of round one. Why because he 722 00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:37,200 Speaker 5: knows he needs Chris Middleton desperately. I think he's he's 723 00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:39,480 Speaker 5: well aware that Chris Middleton's got to step up. And 724 00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:44,520 Speaker 5: this was obviously his first good game of the postseason 725 00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:48,720 Speaker 5: so far. Chris Middleton's was feeling it. Seventeen big ones, 726 00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:50,640 Speaker 5: not quite the thirty five year were looking for in 727 00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:51,240 Speaker 5: your bet with. 728 00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:52,440 Speaker 2: We'll get there, We'll get there. 729 00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:54,840 Speaker 5: I still got games, he still yeah, no doubt, no doubt, 730 00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:57,000 Speaker 5: there still will be games. But at least he was 731 00:32:57,440 --> 00:33:00,200 Speaker 5: forcing it a little bit. I'm very concerned about everybody 732 00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:05,400 Speaker 5: behind Giannis in this hierarchy on Milwaukee Bucks because it's 733 00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:07,840 Speaker 5: question mark after question mark after question mark. I know 734 00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:11,480 Speaker 5: it's feels a little wrong to be questioning Chris Middleton 735 00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:13,720 Speaker 5: as an All Star who was fifty to forty ninety, 736 00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:18,200 Speaker 5: but his playoff resume is not match. It just does 737 00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:20,880 Speaker 5: not match that regular season resume which he has. So 738 00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:25,560 Speaker 5: looking forward to round two because this baby is done. 739 00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:29,760 Speaker 5: We had a great game, one little surprise there with Orlando, 740 00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:32,680 Speaker 5: and they definitely hit some threes here in this game 741 00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:38,360 Speaker 5: from DJ Augustine and from Terrence Ross. But it's strange. 742 00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:41,280 Speaker 5: It's strange to see this Magic defense, which is really good, 743 00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:46,320 Speaker 5: get spanked by this Milwaukee offense because Orlando that's what 744 00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:48,400 Speaker 5: they hang their hat on. Steve Clifford has built a 745 00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:52,240 Speaker 5: really good defense. But when Chris Middleton wants to step up, 746 00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:55,360 Speaker 5: win Giannis really forces it and has a bit of 747 00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:59,480 Speaker 5: opening because Chris Middleton and Brook Lopez are being a 748 00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:02,400 Speaker 5: little bit more aggressive than that wall starts to break 749 00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:04,920 Speaker 5: down a little bit and so he can get through, 750 00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:07,640 Speaker 5: he can be dominant, as he said, skeets and then 751 00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:11,440 Speaker 5: the shots come raining down on a magic defense that 752 00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:12,319 Speaker 5: was pretty good all year. 753 00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:16,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, in Clifford's defense of his defense too. I mean 754 00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:20,040 Speaker 2: no Isaac, no, Aaron Gordon, no even Michael Carter Williams. 755 00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:22,120 Speaker 2: I mean they're missing some of their best defensive. 756 00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:24,760 Speaker 1: Player, ol menu. I forgot that freaking the magic right. 757 00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:27,760 Speaker 2: Right, great call. So it's a lot of a wingspan 758 00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:29,440 Speaker 2: right there that you're taking off the floor, so it's 759 00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:31,040 Speaker 2: always going to be tough. But yeah, I was happy 760 00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:33,840 Speaker 2: this one was over early. I got some you know, 761 00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:36,160 Speaker 2: house chores done yesterday. I was up on the roof, guys, 762 00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:39,040 Speaker 2: clean them my gutters. After it was seventy to forty 763 00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:40,640 Speaker 2: three at the Haven of the Magic made it a 764 00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:44,080 Speaker 2: little closer and we had the fun scuffle between James 765 00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:46,880 Speaker 2: Enison Marvin Williams both getting injected. But this one was 766 00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:49,560 Speaker 2: if you're going to have a blowout. Have it early 767 00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:51,480 Speaker 2: on the Saturday so I can get something done and 768 00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:53,960 Speaker 2: I clean those gutters. Guys, I got a ladder. I 769 00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:56,399 Speaker 2: forgot to tell you I bought a ladder, so we're 770 00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:59,239 Speaker 2: all good. I bought a big home. I didn't. I 771 00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:02,720 Speaker 2: got it delivered, that's what. It's one of these beautiful 772 00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:04,640 Speaker 2: I think it's called a gorilla ladder. Showed up to 773 00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:06,360 Speaker 2: somebody on Twitter that told me about it. It's like, 774 00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:09,000 Speaker 2: you know, it's one of these fold up ones that 775 00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:11,600 Speaker 2: you can fold a million different ways. It's pretty cool. 776 00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:13,400 Speaker 2: You can do it on the stairs and do like 777 00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:15,440 Speaker 2: ninety degree one way if you need to, and then 778 00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:17,720 Speaker 2: you can just straight up do like eighteen foot extension 779 00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:19,560 Speaker 2: ladder to get up on the roof. So it's perfect. 780 00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:22,160 Speaker 4: Awesome. Yeah. 781 00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:25,440 Speaker 5: Actually I heard about the Gorilla products. I think during 782 00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:28,520 Speaker 5: a Phoenix broadcast during the seating games. I think the 783 00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:31,080 Speaker 5: one that's like my player, the color guy. Yeah, you 784 00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:32,600 Speaker 5: think it has something to do with the mascot, but 785 00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:34,759 Speaker 5: it didn't. I think one of the play by play 786 00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:37,640 Speaker 5: guys said something like, oh, just slap some gorilla glue 787 00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:39,640 Speaker 5: on that, you'll be fine. That's one of their products. 788 00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:41,520 Speaker 5: I guess they do everything, these gorillas. 789 00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:43,239 Speaker 2: Well that's what I was gonna ask they do. I 790 00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:45,560 Speaker 2: know gorilla glue. I have that, and now they're making 791 00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:47,040 Speaker 2: ladders too. 792 00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:50,680 Speaker 1: These guys do everything. They've got a doctor who majors 793 00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:51,680 Speaker 1: in gorilla farts. 794 00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:52,560 Speaker 4: Oh, get out of it. 795 00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:53,759 Speaker 1: They covered everything. 796 00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:57,399 Speaker 2: Yeah, they got a mascot for an NBA team. Man, 797 00:35:57,640 --> 00:35:58,400 Speaker 2: what can't they do? 798 00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:00,799 Speaker 4: Uh? 799 00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:04,359 Speaker 5: Very comfortable on that roof. There skeets any fears, any 800 00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:06,560 Speaker 5: fears as you got up there on that ladder. I 801 00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:09,360 Speaker 5: know if Lee was here, he'd be extremely worried about you. 802 00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:10,720 Speaker 4: He'd say, are you okay? 803 00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:11,040 Speaker 1: Did you? 804 00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:13,279 Speaker 4: Did you have Norah hold that ladder for you? 805 00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:15,640 Speaker 2: The only rule we had, well, Nora's rule, but it's 806 00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:18,279 Speaker 2: fair enough. It's a good rule. She's just super fi, 807 00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:21,600 Speaker 2: supervising from the from the ground, just keeping an eye 808 00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:22,399 Speaker 2: on what's going on. 809 00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:24,759 Speaker 4: Up there so she can watch you fall down when 810 00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:25,799 Speaker 4: you ladder. 811 00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:28,080 Speaker 2: Hey, look you're gonna fall down. At least have somebody 812 00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:30,680 Speaker 2: there to call you, to attend to you, or to 813 00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:33,960 Speaker 2: to call in help. No, no problem. My roof is 814 00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:36,319 Speaker 2: not steep at all. But you know, you get up 815 00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:38,680 Speaker 2: there and it's like, okay, here we go. Just you 816 00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:40,279 Speaker 2: gotta get you gotta find your footing up. You just 817 00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:42,920 Speaker 2: gotta get comfortable, you know what. It was more, I 818 00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:44,879 Speaker 2: just had to figure out what was the best way 819 00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:46,959 Speaker 2: to get obviously close enough to the eaves trough wheel 820 00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:49,160 Speaker 2: falling off the damn roof, but then you could easily 821 00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:51,120 Speaker 2: scoop things out. And once I had that down, it 822 00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:52,800 Speaker 2: was it was smooth sailing. 823 00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:52,920 Speaker 6: No. 824 00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:57,200 Speaker 2: I wore shorts, very hot on the roof, very hot 825 00:36:57,239 --> 00:37:00,200 Speaker 2: on that those shingles, Like I had to stop at 826 00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:02,640 Speaker 2: times because my ass was on fire, like it was 827 00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:04,040 Speaker 2: on straight fire. 828 00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:07,440 Speaker 5: Because you're sitting on it. What about the ladder ladder 829 00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:09,680 Speaker 5: leaning against the gutters or the east trops, I'm just 830 00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:10,120 Speaker 5: doing it. 831 00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:13,359 Speaker 2: That's that's insane to me, because that's what Nora was saying. 832 00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:16,200 Speaker 2: That's literally insane. First off, way more dangerous because I'm 833 00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:18,360 Speaker 2: going up and down the ladder a million times. And 834 00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:20,640 Speaker 2: also I don't want my ladder leaning against my east 835 00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:23,439 Speaker 2: tross Like you got a cool start doing some damage. 836 00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:25,560 Speaker 4: To them, but you have a cool butt that way, well. 837 00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:29,440 Speaker 2: Yeah you would have a cool butt. But it was fine, man, 838 00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:31,920 Speaker 2: they were clogged. Glad I did that, So thank you 839 00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:34,600 Speaker 2: to the Milwaukee Bucks for that unbelievable performance. So I 840 00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:38,960 Speaker 2: could get up on my ladder and anything to add here, Trey. 841 00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:42,360 Speaker 1: No, I was on a boat for this checking the scores. 842 00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:45,160 Speaker 1: I saw seventy to forty three. I said, perfect decision 843 00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:48,280 Speaker 1: to go out here. I will say, though, that James 844 00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:50,759 Speaker 1: n this must be very strong, because Marvin Williams gave 845 00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:53,439 Speaker 1: him a hard shove. I feel like James Ennis didn't 846 00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:56,240 Speaker 1: move at all, and I would have guessed that Marvin 847 00:37:56,239 --> 00:37:58,799 Speaker 1: Williams is the stronger of those two. But you know, 848 00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:02,320 Speaker 1: you never know any body's course strength until they're really showcasing. 849 00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:05,200 Speaker 2: Okay, okay, here's the question too. Did James Ennis throw 850 00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:08,680 Speaker 2: a punch? Do you do you consider that a punch? 851 00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:12,520 Speaker 2: His uh, you know, his chopped down movement. 852 00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:15,719 Speaker 1: I mean there was a punching motion, but there was 853 00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:17,840 Speaker 1: like three people in between the two of them, and 854 00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:20,360 Speaker 1: the guy that fell down was Darvin Ham's coach for 855 00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:22,879 Speaker 1: the Magic, So I don't think it's a punch, And 856 00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:25,960 Speaker 1: I think, uh, I think suspending anybody on the Magic 857 00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:27,279 Speaker 1: would just be cruel at this point. 858 00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:29,879 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I guess that's true. It's in play 859 00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:32,520 Speaker 2: task that he could get a game I know Bobby 860 00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:35,440 Speaker 2: Marks was on Twitter very upset with James's what are 861 00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:37,440 Speaker 2: you doing? Like you could get suspended a game and 862 00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:40,000 Speaker 2: like your team has already at a disadvantage. You're you're 863 00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:42,600 Speaker 2: in this series. I don't think anbody thinks are gonna win, 864 00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:44,200 Speaker 2: But like, come on, James, you gotta have a cooler 865 00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:45,960 Speaker 2: head than that. You gotta have a cooler head like 866 00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:48,320 Speaker 2: Darvin Ham than that very cool. 867 00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:56,759 Speaker 4: Head Ham down his hand was like, no. 868 00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:01,319 Speaker 5: I thought that Twitter consent. This was why the heck 869 00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:03,359 Speaker 5: are you tossing these guys in the first place? Which 870 00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:06,640 Speaker 5: I was down with Why are you tossing these guys? 871 00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:10,640 Speaker 5: It didn't seem like anything anything happened out there. Yeah, 872 00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:14,279 Speaker 5: there was a couple shows, does it? Unfortunately, it may 873 00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:19,040 Speaker 5: factor in that these guys are not so prominent players 874 00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:22,480 Speaker 5: on their teams and that they could be tossed. But 875 00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:24,360 Speaker 5: you know, James Ennis is starting on this team, So 876 00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:26,200 Speaker 5: I get what Bobby Marks is saying in terms of 877 00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:28,839 Speaker 5: the lack of depth. Right now, hopefully Eron Gordon comes back. 878 00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:32,640 Speaker 5: I don't know his his status report, but no, he 879 00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:36,560 Speaker 5: shouldn't be tossed, definitely shouldn't be suspended whatsoever. And the 880 00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:40,920 Speaker 5: Twitter consensus, as you said there, Trey, that Marvin Williams 881 00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:42,640 Speaker 5: was the stronger of the two in the tail of 882 00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:45,080 Speaker 5: the tape, the old man's strength at thirty five years old. 883 00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:46,720 Speaker 5: Would take James Ennis. 884 00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:48,239 Speaker 4: But I don't get that. 885 00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:49,760 Speaker 2: I just don't know why. 886 00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:53,440 Speaker 5: Because he's older. James Ennis. Yeah, as you said, didn't 887 00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:57,040 Speaker 5: budge a decade younger or whatever he is, and I 888 00:39:57,080 --> 00:40:00,799 Speaker 5: would take James. I now take James and this non 889 00:40:01,120 --> 00:40:01,919 Speaker 5: non fight fight. 890 00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:04,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean this was one of those weird instances 891 00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:07,719 Speaker 2: I think where actually the referee who's trying to do 892 00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:10,160 Speaker 2: his job to separate them, Darvin Ham and his head 893 00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:12,440 Speaker 2: trying to get in there to separate them, like everybody, 894 00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:15,000 Speaker 2: it actually made it worse. I sort of think like 895 00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:18,000 Speaker 2: if they were just allowed to sort of like, you know, 896 00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:20,279 Speaker 2: get in each other's face, but it was like the 897 00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:22,920 Speaker 2: trying to divide, and Marvin was holy on Dennis and 898 00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:25,760 Speaker 2: that's why I think he did the punch chop down 899 00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:28,560 Speaker 2: and definitely separated. It was like a little red Rover 900 00:40:28,680 --> 00:40:31,839 Speaker 2: there he broke through. Yeah. I just think they made 901 00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:34,040 Speaker 2: in a weird way. They maybe made it worse, but anyway, 902 00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:36,160 Speaker 2: we'll see if James Ennis gets a game. I'm doubtful, 903 00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:38,000 Speaker 2: like test that. I mean, they shouldn't even really have 904 00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:41,120 Speaker 2: been ejected for these exchanging of shoves. Will they get 905 00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:43,919 Speaker 2: a game? Or will Ennis get a game? He didn't 906 00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:46,400 Speaker 2: hit the ref even you know, incidentally, and or stuff 907 00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:48,000 Speaker 2: like that, So I doubt it. 908 00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:48,560 Speaker 4: I doubt it. 909 00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:52,040 Speaker 5: I'll throw this in there. People are desperate for some 910 00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:55,800 Speaker 5: Twitter hot takes. Throw this one out there. It's desperate, 911 00:40:56,239 --> 00:40:59,720 Speaker 5: very desperate. But Buck's assistant coach, Darvinham, as we said, 912 00:40:59,719 --> 00:41:01,600 Speaker 5: got grown to the floor. But he is also in 913 00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:04,799 Speaker 5: contention for many of the coaching jobs that are out there, 914 00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:07,960 Speaker 5: the Bulls coaching job he's been rumored about, rumored for. 915 00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:11,640 Speaker 5: So did he do himself a favor by protecting his players? 916 00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:13,080 Speaker 4: Means players? 917 00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:15,919 Speaker 5: Bulls players are watching that and saying, oh okay, yeah, yeah. 918 00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:18,440 Speaker 5: Boyling was a tough guy who loved us. But this guy, 919 00:41:18,360 --> 00:41:20,080 Speaker 5: they'll fall to the floor for us. 920 00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:23,480 Speaker 4: Hire him. Zach Lavine loves that. Ask sack Levine about it. 921 00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:24,759 Speaker 4: He's gonna love that Ham move. 922 00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:28,000 Speaker 2: I'd love it, Trey won Darvin Ham coaching the Bulls. 923 00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:30,680 Speaker 1: Ah, slice me off some of that Ham. I'd be 924 00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:34,480 Speaker 1: happy if that guy came to Chicago though. You know, 925 00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:36,759 Speaker 1: in the early nineteen hundred, Chicago was known as one 926 00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:39,479 Speaker 1: of the biggest pork packing plants in the entire world. 927 00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:43,719 Speaker 1: He's gotta be a little nervous about that pork talk. 928 00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:47,760 Speaker 1: Hey man, we're doing it all out here, yeah, daughters, pork. 929 00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:50,759 Speaker 2: I mean, it's Sunday, right, we should be frying up 930 00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:52,839 Speaker 2: some frying up some bacon while we do this show. 931 00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:54,759 Speaker 2: So it all makes sense, all right, Well, let's get 932 00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:57,800 Speaker 2: to the final game. Jimmy Butler scored twenty seven points. 933 00:41:57,960 --> 00:42:01,120 Speaker 2: He beat the Pacers. They take the three. Seriously, this 934 00:42:01,160 --> 00:42:04,160 Speaker 2: one might be a wrap, though Indiana, especially led by 935 00:42:04,200 --> 00:42:07,600 Speaker 2: Malcolm Brogden, keeping it close. Indiana cut the lead to 936 00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:10,000 Speaker 2: two points like three times in the fourth quarter, but 937 00:42:10,120 --> 00:42:12,960 Speaker 2: Jimmy Butler in the heat, get it done. In the end, 938 00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:14,239 Speaker 2: they're up three. Oh what do you think, Trey? 939 00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:16,400 Speaker 1: You want to talk about free throws? Talk about Jimmy 940 00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:19,680 Speaker 1: Butler going to the line twenty times knocking down seventeen. 941 00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:21,520 Speaker 1: If you're not gonna be able to shoot threes, that's 942 00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:23,640 Speaker 1: an efficient way to score, and it's a great way 943 00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:25,600 Speaker 1: to be a closer, as we've seen. But the heat 944 00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:28,000 Speaker 1: at this point They've got their own big three right 945 00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:31,320 Speaker 1: now because Jimmy was great. He had that amazing block 946 00:42:31,360 --> 00:42:31,759 Speaker 1: on TJ. 947 00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:32,160 Speaker 4: Warren. 948 00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:34,520 Speaker 1: That was some crazy defense to cut off the drive 949 00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:36,400 Speaker 1: and then get back at the rim. That was awesome. 950 00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:39,520 Speaker 1: Bam was just consistent all game twenty two, eleven and five. 951 00:42:39,520 --> 00:42:41,719 Speaker 1: He was scoring all kinds of ways. He's a real 952 00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:44,680 Speaker 1: folk room for them. And Gordon Dragic again, uh We's 953 00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:48,440 Speaker 1: huge early in this game, finished with five threes. The 954 00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:51,680 Speaker 1: three of those guys together give the Heat so much 955 00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:54,680 Speaker 1: versatility and scoring from all three levels. They can all 956 00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:56,640 Speaker 1: you know, BAM's not much of a three point shooter, 957 00:42:56,680 --> 00:42:58,320 Speaker 1: but he can knock you down a mid range jumper. 958 00:42:58,320 --> 00:43:00,800 Speaker 1: He's good inside. Jimmy's at the line, he's inside and 959 00:43:00,880 --> 00:43:03,399 Speaker 1: maybe he'll let you clutch three. And Dragic has been 960 00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:05,839 Speaker 1: on fire in the bubble. They're looking like a tough 961 00:43:05,840 --> 00:43:07,680 Speaker 1: team because you know the defense is going to bring 962 00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:10,360 Speaker 1: it as well. The shooting has been good. Those three 963 00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:13,560 Speaker 1: together are balling, and that's why it's looking tough for 964 00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:16,920 Speaker 1: the Pacers right now. They Brogden was great, but they 965 00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:19,440 Speaker 1: just don't have enough shock creation. Maybe if Sabonis is 966 00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:21,600 Speaker 1: able to actually come back and play which seems like 967 00:43:21,640 --> 00:43:25,200 Speaker 1: a possibility. Uh, it could happen, but maybe they can 968 00:43:25,239 --> 00:43:27,959 Speaker 1: get I'll win, But this thing feels like it's over. 969 00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:30,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, I would add to that, you know, the heap 970 00:43:30,520 --> 00:43:33,120 Speaker 2: Big three as you're calling them, especially when Dragic is 971 00:43:33,160 --> 00:43:35,960 Speaker 2: Feba Dravich and he's on fire. It also helps when 972 00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:38,960 Speaker 2: you can add it feels like one guy who's on 973 00:43:39,040 --> 00:43:42,640 Speaker 2: fire from distance, at least one guy, so either Tyler 974 00:43:42,680 --> 00:43:44,960 Speaker 2: Hero like it was sort of in game three, Duncan 975 00:43:45,040 --> 00:43:47,000 Speaker 2: Robinson in game two. I mean, you got a flame 976 00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:50,160 Speaker 2: thrower out there with those three guys too, and then 977 00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:52,040 Speaker 2: you can, like, you know, decide where you want to 978 00:43:52,040 --> 00:43:54,320 Speaker 2: go if it's Kelly olynok, it's Jay Crowder like stuff 979 00:43:54,360 --> 00:43:57,319 Speaker 2: like that. Like, yeah, this this team, this is going 980 00:43:57,400 --> 00:43:59,200 Speaker 2: to be a fun battle against the Bucks too. There. 981 00:43:59,400 --> 00:44:01,359 Speaker 2: This is not gonna be an easy series by any 982 00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:05,000 Speaker 2: means for Milwaukee. But yeah, Bam coming up with two 983 00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:08,239 Speaker 2: huge I thought late offensive rebounds. Like you said, he 984 00:44:08,280 --> 00:44:10,000 Speaker 2: didn't have like a dominant box score, but he was 985 00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:12,759 Speaker 2: making those type of plays, those Marcus Smart winning type 986 00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:15,799 Speaker 2: of plays. Yeah. I felt bad for the Pacers watching this. 987 00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:18,279 Speaker 2: I mean, they got embarrassed in the first half task 988 00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:20,520 Speaker 2: and then really put up a fight and your guy, 989 00:44:20,560 --> 00:44:22,399 Speaker 2: I mean you again coming into the series. He said 990 00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:24,040 Speaker 2: it like, if they are going to have any sort 991 00:44:24,080 --> 00:44:25,799 Speaker 2: of chance out of an upset here or go deep, 992 00:44:26,080 --> 00:44:28,399 Speaker 2: Brogden's got to be special, and he was thirty four 993 00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:32,160 Speaker 2: and fourteen. I just wonder at this point. It sounds 994 00:44:32,160 --> 00:44:35,320 Speaker 2: insane to say, but I could have been, like with 995 00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:38,160 Speaker 2: the Pacers, almost been better off if Oladipo didn't play, 996 00:44:39,239 --> 00:44:42,040 Speaker 2: which sounds crazy, but he hasn't played well, and there 997 00:44:42,120 --> 00:44:43,600 Speaker 2: was a couple of times in this one where he 998 00:44:43,640 --> 00:44:47,080 Speaker 2: really went for the hero shot, not Tyler hero or 999 00:44:47,080 --> 00:44:48,680 Speaker 2: I guess in a way Tyler hero shot and you're like, 1000 00:44:48,719 --> 00:44:50,800 Speaker 2: what are you doing? Man, Like you don't got to 1001 00:44:50,840 --> 00:44:52,440 Speaker 2: go in And I get it, you're the star of 1002 00:44:52,440 --> 00:44:55,280 Speaker 2: this team. But Brogden's actually maybe right now at this point, 1003 00:44:55,920 --> 00:44:58,160 Speaker 2: you know, in this game, at least I thought he 1004 00:44:58,239 --> 00:44:59,440 Speaker 2: just made some weird decisions. 1005 00:45:00,239 --> 00:45:04,480 Speaker 4: Yeah. I don't disagree with this game. 1006 00:45:04,560 --> 00:45:06,800 Speaker 5: He tried to do a little bit too much. I 1007 00:45:06,840 --> 00:45:08,680 Speaker 5: do like the fact that he's out there just more 1008 00:45:08,719 --> 00:45:11,279 Speaker 5: as a decoy, more of a shot maker, because they 1009 00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:13,480 Speaker 5: don't have a lot of depth. You know, I like 1010 00:45:13,520 --> 00:45:16,759 Speaker 5: me some Aaron Holiday. I like me some other Holiday 1011 00:45:16,880 --> 00:45:19,960 Speaker 5: and justin Holiday. But those guys have to be pretty 1012 00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:22,200 Speaker 5: much catch and shoot type guys if you're going to 1013 00:45:23,080 --> 00:45:26,920 Speaker 5: go pretty far in the playoffs. I like Victor Oladipo 1014 00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:29,399 Speaker 5: as a potential a little bit of a spacer, but yeah, 1015 00:45:29,480 --> 00:45:32,200 Speaker 5: he has to scale it back a little bit for 1016 00:45:32,239 --> 00:45:36,719 Speaker 5: them to be great, because he's not himself right now. 1017 00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:39,759 Speaker 5: And so I thought he was doing a decent job 1018 00:45:39,800 --> 00:45:42,880 Speaker 5: of that, trying to balance that in the seeding games. 1019 00:45:42,920 --> 00:45:45,920 Speaker 5: But yeah, they're lacking a little bit of offensive punch, 1020 00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:51,160 Speaker 5: and so I was fine with him playing. But Broggy 1021 00:45:51,160 --> 00:45:53,239 Speaker 5: Brock did absolutely everything he could. I think it was 1022 00:45:53,239 --> 00:45:55,800 Speaker 5: on TJ. Warren really to come up with some fourth 1023 00:45:55,840 --> 00:46:01,239 Speaker 5: quarter plays because they're playing Brogden, Oladipo, justin Holiday, TJ. 1024 00:46:01,320 --> 00:46:04,360 Speaker 5: Warren and Myles Turner. They need TJ. Warren offensively, and 1025 00:46:04,440 --> 00:46:09,000 Speaker 5: he wasn't there. And so, yeah, they fought, but this 1026 00:46:09,080 --> 00:46:12,359 Speaker 5: may be the problem. Nate McMillan after the game said, 1027 00:46:12,360 --> 00:46:14,120 Speaker 5: we're down three to zero, it's winner go home. As 1028 00:46:14,160 --> 00:46:16,640 Speaker 5: I told you, guys, you're not dead. We're not dead. 1029 00:46:16,680 --> 00:46:18,640 Speaker 5: We showed this second half that we're capable of doing. 1030 00:46:18,640 --> 00:46:21,000 Speaker 5: But We've got to put together that type of intensity, 1031 00:46:21,160 --> 00:46:24,800 Speaker 5: that type of belief for forty minutes. It's a forty 1032 00:46:24,840 --> 00:46:25,600 Speaker 5: eight minute. 1033 00:46:25,360 --> 00:46:28,040 Speaker 2: Game again what he's saying. 1034 00:46:28,080 --> 00:46:30,840 Speaker 5: But yeah, yeah, I mean, if that's what happened to 1035 00:46:30,840 --> 00:46:32,759 Speaker 5: the Pacers, they thought they were playing a foba game. 1036 00:46:32,760 --> 00:46:35,920 Speaker 4: They're only playing forty minutes. That's why they lost. 1037 00:46:36,280 --> 00:46:40,200 Speaker 5: No, Listen, they don't have the offensive firepower that the 1038 00:46:40,600 --> 00:46:43,319 Speaker 5: Heat have. It's simple as that, I think. And I'm 1039 00:46:43,360 --> 00:46:45,880 Speaker 5: a huge Goran Dragage fan, and it feels like we 1040 00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:50,960 Speaker 5: haven't had a real Goran Dragage postseason moment forever. I 1041 00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:52,759 Speaker 5: mean really since he was a Phoenix Sun where he 1042 00:46:52,920 --> 00:46:56,799 Speaker 5: was really playing to his capability. So this is this 1043 00:46:56,840 --> 00:47:00,160 Speaker 5: is awesome to see him have a lot on his shoulders. 1044 00:47:00,239 --> 00:47:03,520 Speaker 5: And I thought, speaking of Nate McMillan, I thought the 1045 00:47:03,560 --> 00:47:05,799 Speaker 5: game may have turned late in the third quarter because 1046 00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:08,640 Speaker 5: I've never seen this before because this is the first 1047 00:47:08,719 --> 00:47:12,359 Speaker 5: year the Coaches Challenge, but it hasn't happened like this 1048 00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:14,880 Speaker 5: where Pacers Miles Turner called for a foul, the refs 1049 00:47:14,880 --> 00:47:17,640 Speaker 5: are going to see if it's a hostile act. They 1050 00:47:17,680 --> 00:47:20,640 Speaker 5: go check that, and then Nate McMillian says, you know what, 1051 00:47:21,120 --> 00:47:23,480 Speaker 5: I want to challenge on the foul call, right, and 1052 00:47:23,520 --> 00:47:26,000 Speaker 5: they overturn the foul call. The call is on Kelly 1053 00:47:26,040 --> 00:47:29,879 Speaker 5: Olynyk instead, and so obviously no hostile act because there's 1054 00:47:29,880 --> 00:47:31,880 Speaker 5: no even call on Myles Turner. I thought, and the 1055 00:47:31,920 --> 00:47:34,920 Speaker 5: third quarter, what a move that could change the momentum. 1056 00:47:34,920 --> 00:47:37,440 Speaker 5: And it looked good for a while. But yeah, that 1057 00:47:37,560 --> 00:47:39,040 Speaker 5: the Pacers. 1058 00:47:38,800 --> 00:47:40,879 Speaker 4: They can't score against that heat defense is just too 1059 00:47:40,920 --> 00:47:41,520 Speaker 4: freaking good. 1060 00:47:41,680 --> 00:47:44,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, if the Bonus is playing in this series, it is. 1061 00:47:44,480 --> 00:47:46,480 Speaker 2: I mean, it's to me, it's like a seven game series. 1062 00:47:46,520 --> 00:47:48,520 Speaker 2: I really think the Pacers are that good when he's 1063 00:47:48,560 --> 00:47:51,840 Speaker 2: out there, but it's just, uh, it's just it's unfair 1064 00:47:51,960 --> 00:47:54,200 Speaker 2: without him. And I don't think he's playing. I mean, 1065 00:47:54,239 --> 00:47:56,920 Speaker 2: I know you threw that in there, Trey. I know 1066 00:47:57,000 --> 00:47:59,759 Speaker 2: he's it sounds like he's come to the bubble, but 1067 00:48:00,360 --> 00:48:03,120 Speaker 2: I think he's just come for support. I mean, a 1068 00:48:03,160 --> 00:48:06,840 Speaker 2: little too late maybe at this point, but I highly, 1069 00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:08,279 Speaker 2: highly doubt I think it was what I was saying. 1070 00:48:08,280 --> 00:48:10,560 Speaker 2: It's very very unlikely he's actually gonna play. He's been 1071 00:48:10,600 --> 00:48:12,920 Speaker 2: suffering from plantro fashionitis and he's been that's what he's 1072 00:48:12,960 --> 00:48:15,279 Speaker 2: been dealing with in rehabbing, and he hasn't even played ball. 1073 00:48:15,360 --> 00:48:17,240 Speaker 2: I think in like what they say, like six weeks 1074 00:48:17,320 --> 00:48:19,919 Speaker 2: or something like that, it's a long time, and now 1075 00:48:19,960 --> 00:48:22,280 Speaker 2: you're down three to zero, and it's like it wouldn't 1076 00:48:22,280 --> 00:48:23,759 Speaker 2: make a lot of sense to me. He's just there 1077 00:48:23,800 --> 00:48:26,480 Speaker 2: to maybe get a little fishing trip in and hang 1078 00:48:26,520 --> 00:48:29,279 Speaker 2: out with the guys in the arcade room and all 1079 00:48:29,360 --> 00:48:31,640 Speaker 2: part ways for a couple of months. But it sucks. 1080 00:48:31,680 --> 00:48:34,239 Speaker 2: It just sucks for them. The other thing rare, I 1081 00:48:34,239 --> 00:48:36,279 Speaker 2: mean you said that overturned call there, attak. Another thing 1082 00:48:36,320 --> 00:48:38,720 Speaker 2: that was rare in this game, Miles Turner going glass 1083 00:48:38,840 --> 00:48:41,719 Speaker 2: on the corner three was six minutes to go. It 1084 00:48:41,760 --> 00:48:44,400 Speaker 2: was a big shot. Shout out to Chris Weber for 1085 00:48:44,960 --> 00:48:47,719 Speaker 2: calling that one in real time. I thought it looked 1086 00:48:47,760 --> 00:48:49,920 Speaker 2: funky too when watching out, like what the hell happened there? 1087 00:48:49,920 --> 00:48:52,640 Speaker 2: That both It just looked like it took a weird trajectory, 1088 00:48:52,680 --> 00:48:54,400 Speaker 2: and then I think Weber was like, I think that 1089 00:48:54,480 --> 00:48:56,440 Speaker 2: hit the glass and then they did the slow mo replay, 1090 00:48:56,480 --> 00:48:59,600 Speaker 2: It's like, yep, that was Michael Jordan going baseline glass there. 1091 00:49:00,120 --> 00:49:02,400 Speaker 2: His came a little too late against the ninety five Raptors, right, 1092 00:49:04,480 --> 00:49:05,240 Speaker 2: Remember that shot. 1093 00:49:06,040 --> 00:49:08,719 Speaker 5: Of course, I remember that shot after the buzzer, the 1094 00:49:08,760 --> 00:49:11,520 Speaker 5: inaugural Raptors getting to win over the seventy two and 1095 00:49:11,719 --> 00:49:12,840 Speaker 5: ten Chicago Bulls. 1096 00:49:12,960 --> 00:49:15,480 Speaker 4: What an old March victory. 1097 00:49:16,120 --> 00:49:19,440 Speaker 5: Again, we'd said it yesterday, a lot of shots going 1098 00:49:19,480 --> 00:49:21,160 Speaker 5: off the side of the glass. I know that wasn't 1099 00:49:21,200 --> 00:49:23,320 Speaker 5: off the side of the glass, but yes, yesterday. I 1100 00:49:23,320 --> 00:49:25,479 Speaker 5: think we're clean though. I don't think we had any 1101 00:49:25,640 --> 00:49:28,640 Speaker 5: side glasses like guys from the corner banging home threes. 1102 00:49:28,719 --> 00:49:30,680 Speaker 5: I guess because they weren't giving Danny Green the ball. 1103 00:49:30,760 --> 00:49:33,240 Speaker 5: Oh man, why am I ripping Danny Green again? 1104 00:49:33,280 --> 00:49:35,600 Speaker 4: And not so nice? Not so nice? 1105 00:49:36,120 --> 00:49:39,160 Speaker 5: That was strange. Chris Webber was on it and those guys. 1106 00:49:39,440 --> 00:49:42,839 Speaker 5: Although commentators doing a good job, doing a good job 1107 00:49:42,960 --> 00:49:45,480 Speaker 5: day in and day out, they all have back to 1108 00:49:45,520 --> 00:49:46,920 Speaker 5: back to back to back to back to back to 1109 00:49:46,960 --> 00:49:49,600 Speaker 5: back back jumping around series. I think they're jumping around 1110 00:49:49,600 --> 00:49:52,640 Speaker 5: series too if I take in good job, a lot 1111 00:49:52,680 --> 00:49:54,160 Speaker 5: of a lot of research being done, a lot of 1112 00:49:54,160 --> 00:49:56,759 Speaker 5: work being done. Happy for everybody doing their work down 1113 00:49:56,800 --> 00:49:57,040 Speaker 5: there in. 1114 00:49:57,040 --> 00:50:00,759 Speaker 2: The ball jump. I think it was even Jared Wade, 1115 00:50:00,760 --> 00:50:02,960 Speaker 2: who is a Pacers fan. He's a disgruntled Pacers fan. 1116 00:50:03,040 --> 00:50:04,799 Speaker 2: Right now if you follow him on Twitter. But he 1117 00:50:04,880 --> 00:50:07,840 Speaker 2: is a Pacers fan. He's pissed. Yeah, this could be. 1118 00:50:08,640 --> 00:50:12,040 Speaker 2: It might be because we're looking at a we're looking 1119 00:50:12,040 --> 00:50:14,440 Speaker 2: at his sweep beer. It's could be the third time 1120 00:50:15,280 --> 00:50:19,320 Speaker 2: in four years that Nate McMillan gets swept in the playoff. 1121 00:50:19,320 --> 00:50:21,200 Speaker 2: I think he has a three and fifteen record right 1122 00:50:21,239 --> 00:50:24,720 Speaker 2: now in the playoffs. Well, yeah, and I'm not putting 1123 00:50:24,719 --> 00:50:26,520 Speaker 2: it all on Neat. He obviously gets his team to 1124 00:50:26,520 --> 00:50:28,560 Speaker 2: play really well in the regular season. Yeah, does he 1125 00:50:28,560 --> 00:50:30,680 Speaker 2: struggle maybe in playoff series. He's at a disadvantage with 1126 00:50:30,680 --> 00:50:33,000 Speaker 2: the no Sabona, so that's tough. And Oladipo, you know, 1127 00:50:33,040 --> 00:50:36,640 Speaker 2: playing at whatever percentage he's playing at healthwise seventy percent. 1128 00:50:36,680 --> 00:50:40,520 Speaker 5: Who even knows, but twenty eighteen, Yeah, no, I know, 1129 00:50:40,640 --> 00:50:42,719 Speaker 5: I know. It's it's a lastyear. Sorry, Las year, last year. 1130 00:50:42,760 --> 00:50:43,840 Speaker 2: It's frustrating. It's frustrating. 1131 00:50:43,920 --> 00:50:46,000 Speaker 1: But the Spacers kind of had to expect it a 1132 00:50:46,040 --> 00:50:48,440 Speaker 1: little bit, right because they gave him that extension for 1133 00:50:48,680 --> 00:50:51,360 Speaker 1: just a year because coming into the bubble, Nate McMillan's 1134 00:50:51,400 --> 00:50:54,640 Speaker 1: job status was a question certainly, so they gave him 1135 00:50:54,719 --> 00:50:57,560 Speaker 1: that one year. Basically saying Oh, you know it's gonna 1136 00:50:57,560 --> 00:51:00,520 Speaker 1: be tough. Oladipo not one hundred percent bonas. We'll see 1137 00:51:00,520 --> 00:51:02,840 Speaker 1: if he comes back. We know your team is missing 1138 00:51:02,840 --> 00:51:04,440 Speaker 1: two all stars. You're probably not going to do your 1139 00:51:04,440 --> 00:51:07,040 Speaker 1: best down here, So we'll run it back next season. 1140 00:51:07,640 --> 00:51:09,680 Speaker 1: I would assume that they wouldn't have gotten swept if 1141 00:51:09,719 --> 00:51:12,960 Speaker 1: they had a Oladipo and Sibonis playing at full strength. 1142 00:51:13,040 --> 00:51:16,080 Speaker 1: But that's why you give him the one year contract. 1143 00:51:16,239 --> 00:51:19,040 Speaker 1: But I guess we'll have these conversations again next season, right, 1144 00:51:19,080 --> 00:51:20,879 Speaker 1: I mean that's going to be the question. Is Nate 1145 00:51:20,960 --> 00:51:22,960 Speaker 1: McMillan to coach for the Pacers? He seems to be 1146 00:51:23,000 --> 00:51:25,120 Speaker 1: a guy who can take your team from out of 1147 00:51:25,120 --> 00:51:28,080 Speaker 1: the playoffs to a solid playoff contending team. Does he 1148 00:51:28,120 --> 00:51:30,160 Speaker 1: take you to the next level? We shall see. At 1149 00:51:30,239 --> 00:51:32,360 Speaker 1: least he'll have a fully healthy team to give it 1150 00:51:32,400 --> 00:51:32,719 Speaker 1: a shot. 1151 00:51:32,880 --> 00:51:34,799 Speaker 2: Yeah for sure. All right, do you guys think this 1152 00:51:34,920 --> 00:51:38,239 Speaker 2: is over on Monday? Do you think the Pacers have 1153 00:51:38,520 --> 00:51:40,840 Speaker 2: you know, a little fight left in them or is 1154 00:51:40,840 --> 00:51:41,400 Speaker 2: this a sweep? 1155 00:51:42,360 --> 00:51:43,960 Speaker 5: I think they have a lot of fight left in them. 1156 00:51:44,239 --> 00:51:46,400 Speaker 5: I don't think it's a. 1157 00:51:45,760 --> 00:51:46,520 Speaker 4: It's not a given. 1158 00:51:46,920 --> 00:51:50,560 Speaker 5: They definitely lack that fourth quarter ability to score against 1159 00:51:50,600 --> 00:51:53,719 Speaker 5: a Heat team when they turn it up, So it'll 1160 00:51:53,760 --> 00:51:55,480 Speaker 5: be I think it'll be a close game. 1161 00:51:55,840 --> 00:51:58,200 Speaker 2: Tray, I would take the Heat. 1162 00:51:58,239 --> 00:52:01,560 Speaker 1: They have looked pretty solid so far in the playoffs, 1163 00:52:01,560 --> 00:52:04,560 Speaker 1: and it's just the talent discrepancy right now for Miami 1164 00:52:04,680 --> 00:52:08,480 Speaker 1: is such so huge. So yeah, the Pacers are going 1165 00:52:08,520 --> 00:52:10,840 Speaker 1: to fight and scrap. They've been playing hard this entire series. 1166 00:52:10,880 --> 00:52:12,480 Speaker 1: But I do think the Heat are just a lot 1167 00:52:12,520 --> 00:52:13,120 Speaker 1: better right now. 1168 00:52:13,280 --> 00:52:15,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, agree with that. We got a little news here 1169 00:52:15,960 --> 00:52:19,520 Speaker 2: Toronto's Nick Nurse. He wins the twenty nineteen twenty NBA 1170 00:52:19,680 --> 00:52:23,400 Speaker 2: Coach of the Year award. Yes, Yes, Nurse received ninety 1171 00:52:24,120 --> 00:52:26,759 Speaker 2: first place votes from a panel of approximately one hundred 1172 00:52:26,800 --> 00:52:29,480 Speaker 2: sports writers and broadcasters. He is the first coach to 1173 00:52:29,520 --> 00:52:31,200 Speaker 2: be selected as Coach of the Year in both the 1174 00:52:31,320 --> 00:52:35,080 Speaker 2: NBA and the NBA G League. And pretty cool moment 1175 00:52:35,160 --> 00:52:39,400 Speaker 2: tasks on TNT of how they awarded Nick Nurse the 1176 00:52:39,440 --> 00:52:41,120 Speaker 2: actual trophy and what they did for him. 1177 00:52:41,680 --> 00:52:41,839 Speaker 4: Yeah. 1178 00:52:42,000 --> 00:52:45,560 Speaker 5: Nick Nurse talked to Eric Kareen of The Athletic about 1179 00:52:45,560 --> 00:52:48,759 Speaker 5: that about the process of just going on TV. He 1180 00:52:48,840 --> 00:52:51,640 Speaker 5: was being asked by the Raptors PR person. Hey come 1181 00:52:51,680 --> 00:52:54,920 Speaker 5: to an interview with TNT and he was debating it, 1182 00:52:55,000 --> 00:52:56,680 Speaker 5: I mean a mid series, do I have to go 1183 00:52:56,760 --> 00:53:00,840 Speaker 5: on and talk to these guys? And somehow she convinced 1184 00:53:00,920 --> 00:53:04,000 Speaker 5: him to go on, and he had no idea what 1185 00:53:04,040 --> 00:53:06,799 Speaker 5: was happening that his high school coach would come on 1186 00:53:06,880 --> 00:53:10,879 Speaker 5: and basically present the award to have a little speech. 1187 00:53:10,960 --> 00:53:14,600 Speaker 5: Yet he got choked up and then his players and 1188 00:53:14,719 --> 00:53:17,600 Speaker 5: Kyle Lowry the first one to hand him the trophy. 1189 00:53:17,719 --> 00:53:18,759 Speaker 4: So yeah, it was. 1190 00:53:18,840 --> 00:53:23,239 Speaker 5: It was an awesome moment and I think, you know, 1191 00:53:23,320 --> 00:53:26,400 Speaker 5: sort of as a bigger idea like that was that 1192 00:53:26,480 --> 00:53:27,279 Speaker 5: was a shock to us. 1193 00:53:27,320 --> 00:53:27,680 Speaker 4: It was. 1194 00:53:28,440 --> 00:53:32,239 Speaker 5: Yeah, it was just something that isn't done at all 1195 00:53:32,320 --> 00:53:34,520 Speaker 5: anymore because of the NBA Awards show. And I know 1196 00:53:34,719 --> 00:53:37,000 Speaker 5: jobs are going to be a changed period for a 1197 00:53:37,000 --> 00:53:39,200 Speaker 5: lot of people out there, and I'm not sure how 1198 00:53:39,200 --> 00:53:41,200 Speaker 5: it's going to change the NBA product on the court. 1199 00:53:41,200 --> 00:53:43,319 Speaker 5: I don't think we're going to have a neutral site 1200 00:53:43,320 --> 00:53:46,480 Speaker 5: playoff tournament by any means, but this could be something 1201 00:53:46,520 --> 00:53:50,319 Speaker 5: that they put forth in the future. Why have an 1202 00:53:50,440 --> 00:53:53,919 Speaker 5: NBA Award show when I think these moments get more 1203 00:53:53,960 --> 00:53:57,800 Speaker 5: social engagement like that on Twitter was better. If you 1204 00:53:58,560 --> 00:54:00,879 Speaker 5: somehow you get a great PR person, you do all 1205 00:54:00,880 --> 00:54:03,319 Speaker 5: that work behind the scenes to surprise somebody with that, 1206 00:54:04,320 --> 00:54:06,759 Speaker 5: like they surprise Nick Nurse and what a journey he's 1207 00:54:06,800 --> 00:54:09,240 Speaker 5: had and Air Korean wrote about that incredible journey. 1208 00:54:09,239 --> 00:54:10,240 Speaker 4: But I would just say this. 1209 00:54:10,200 --> 00:54:13,880 Speaker 5: Moment, yeah, I think it gained more traction than a 1210 00:54:13,920 --> 00:54:17,080 Speaker 5: lot of things get at the award show. And you 1211 00:54:17,200 --> 00:54:20,200 Speaker 5: don't have to put together a ginormous production for it, 1212 00:54:20,840 --> 00:54:23,040 Speaker 5: and so yeah, why the heck not? I think it 1213 00:54:23,080 --> 00:54:26,239 Speaker 5: makes it makes sense to that this would change. And 1214 00:54:27,400 --> 00:54:28,960 Speaker 5: last note, congrats and Nick Nurse. 1215 00:54:29,040 --> 00:54:31,719 Speaker 2: You deserve it, man, Yeah, well deserved anything. To add 1216 00:54:31,719 --> 00:54:34,440 Speaker 2: Trey No, he's the Coach of the Year. 1217 00:54:34,480 --> 00:54:35,879 Speaker 1: We all thought he was going to be, and it's 1218 00:54:35,880 --> 00:54:37,680 Speaker 1: good to see that he actually won the one that 1219 00:54:37,800 --> 00:54:40,200 Speaker 1: really matters. You know, he didn't win the Golden Globes 1220 00:54:40,239 --> 00:54:41,800 Speaker 1: Coach of the Year, but he did win the Oscar 1221 00:54:41,840 --> 00:54:42,440 Speaker 1: Coach of the Year. 1222 00:54:43,160 --> 00:54:46,160 Speaker 2: So that's true, and that's truly what people remember. It's 1223 00:54:46,160 --> 00:54:48,640 Speaker 2: the Oscar wins, not the Golden Globe wins. That's a 1224 00:54:48,920 --> 00:54:50,359 Speaker 2: that's just the way it is. All right, Well, let's 1225 00:54:50,640 --> 00:54:52,680 Speaker 2: let's spin into tweet of the night because I got 1226 00:54:52,680 --> 00:54:53,600 Speaker 2: a little bit more about that. 1227 00:54:55,719 --> 00:54:56,680 Speaker 4: Tweed out the Knight. 1228 00:54:57,480 --> 00:55:03,600 Speaker 2: Wow, yeah, tweeted the Knight. It's actually tweets of the night, 1229 00:55:03,640 --> 00:55:05,200 Speaker 2: but from the same person, and it has to do 1230 00:55:05,239 --> 00:55:07,160 Speaker 2: with Nick Nurse and has to do with Eric krem 1231 00:55:07,200 --> 00:55:10,760 Speaker 2: from the Athletic Raptors beat reporter. He tweeted. Nick Nurse said, 1232 00:55:11,280 --> 00:55:14,080 Speaker 2: his second time in England he thought about quitting. He 1233 00:55:14,160 --> 00:55:16,480 Speaker 2: went to the hotel wrote four things he might like 1234 00:55:16,520 --> 00:55:19,200 Speaker 2: to do instead of coaching. He said, quote it looked 1235 00:55:19,239 --> 00:55:22,120 Speaker 2: like absolute shit to me. I don't know if I 1236 00:55:22,120 --> 00:55:24,200 Speaker 2: remember all of them. One was like go back and 1237 00:55:24,280 --> 00:55:27,919 Speaker 2: run a recreation center type place as a director. One 1238 00:55:28,000 --> 00:55:30,960 Speaker 2: was I think real estate, one was an accounting degree. 1239 00:55:31,320 --> 00:55:35,080 Speaker 2: That one really looked bad to me. So Nick Nurse was, yeah, 1240 00:55:35,120 --> 00:55:37,000 Speaker 2: making a list Once upon a time. I'm like, oh, 1241 00:55:37,040 --> 00:55:38,759 Speaker 2: if I'm not going to be a coach, what else 1242 00:55:38,800 --> 00:55:42,200 Speaker 2: could I do? And luckily he's stuck with pursuing his 1243 00:55:42,280 --> 00:55:44,799 Speaker 2: dream of being an NBA head coach. And again, like 1244 00:55:44,840 --> 00:55:47,480 Speaker 2: I said, won an award in the G League and 1245 00:55:47,560 --> 00:55:50,120 Speaker 2: has one wards overseas and then now has the Coach 1246 00:55:50,120 --> 00:55:51,000 Speaker 2: of the Year in the NBA. 1247 00:55:51,920 --> 00:55:54,560 Speaker 5: Yeah, he'd probably be a pretty good account Not to 1248 00:55:54,640 --> 00:55:57,719 Speaker 5: stereotype him, but he looks like if it was Nick 1249 00:55:57,800 --> 00:56:01,719 Speaker 5: Nurse accountant Nick Nurse took his I think he'd rock it. 1250 00:56:01,840 --> 00:56:03,239 Speaker 4: I think he'd be pretty good at it. 1251 00:56:03,280 --> 00:56:06,560 Speaker 5: But yeah, I think Eric Kreen also went into in 1252 00:56:06,920 --> 00:56:10,319 Speaker 5: depth into that article about Nick Nurse and having all 1253 00:56:10,320 --> 00:56:13,880 Speaker 5: these quote unquote backwater jobs where he tried a bunch 1254 00:56:13,880 --> 00:56:17,440 Speaker 5: of random stuff on the defensive end, and then that 1255 00:56:17,800 --> 00:56:20,160 Speaker 5: empowered him to try things like the box and one 1256 00:56:20,200 --> 00:56:23,640 Speaker 5: in the finals and everything he's trying now. So all 1257 00:56:23,680 --> 00:56:26,680 Speaker 5: those jobs and the fact that mesib Jerry went from 1258 00:56:26,880 --> 00:56:29,239 Speaker 5: coach of the Year and Dwayne Caseying was comfortable enough 1259 00:56:29,239 --> 00:56:32,000 Speaker 5: to hire Nick Nurse, who didn't have any you know, 1260 00:56:32,320 --> 00:56:36,839 Speaker 5: a storied or a reputation that anybody really knew about. 1261 00:56:36,840 --> 00:56:39,040 Speaker 5: A can of came out of nowhere for people who 1262 00:56:39,280 --> 00:56:41,080 Speaker 5: you know, don't know the coaching scene in the NBA 1263 00:56:41,880 --> 00:56:44,439 Speaker 5: shows up. Boom tries all these things in year one 1264 00:56:44,480 --> 00:56:47,640 Speaker 5: and now year two, so he's he's got it going on. 1265 00:56:47,680 --> 00:56:48,360 Speaker 4: And I didn't. 1266 00:56:48,160 --> 00:56:50,279 Speaker 5: Realize he was coach of the Year in the d 1267 00:56:50,400 --> 00:56:53,399 Speaker 5: Slash G League, So he. 1268 00:56:53,280 --> 00:56:53,879 Speaker 4: Can do it all. 1269 00:56:54,040 --> 00:56:54,279 Speaker 6: Man. 1270 00:56:54,440 --> 00:56:56,239 Speaker 4: I'm sure he can do some accounting as well. 1271 00:56:56,880 --> 00:56:59,440 Speaker 1: That's why you mentioned all that experimentation. That's why I 1272 00:56:59,440 --> 00:57:02,040 Speaker 1: think he would be a great rec center director. Imagine 1273 00:57:02,080 --> 00:57:04,120 Speaker 1: the programs this guy can come up with, you know, 1274 00:57:04,280 --> 00:57:06,400 Speaker 1: like a box and one you go to camp for 1275 00:57:06,480 --> 00:57:08,120 Speaker 1: four days a week and then on the fifth day 1276 00:57:08,160 --> 00:57:11,680 Speaker 1: you go for a field trip. The guy can do 1277 00:57:11,719 --> 00:57:12,000 Speaker 1: it all. 1278 00:57:12,640 --> 00:57:16,360 Speaker 2: Congrats to Nick Nurse and congrats to the Raptors on that. 1279 00:57:16,680 --> 00:57:18,880 Speaker 2: You know what, it's his award, but it really is 1280 00:57:18,920 --> 00:57:21,200 Speaker 2: a team and an organizational award, no doubt. All right, 1281 00:57:21,320 --> 00:57:23,800 Speaker 2: let's get to game of the day. We have four 1282 00:57:23,840 --> 00:57:26,720 Speaker 2: on tests. This could be our second last day of 1283 00:57:26,880 --> 00:57:29,360 Speaker 2: quadruple action. You know, we know we're getting four tomorrow, 1284 00:57:29,360 --> 00:57:31,280 Speaker 2: but we have the potential of some of these series 1285 00:57:31,360 --> 00:57:31,840 Speaker 2: ending today. 1286 00:57:32,160 --> 00:57:34,160 Speaker 5: Yeah, we have two teams that are up three to 1287 00:57:34,240 --> 00:57:38,160 Speaker 5: zero today Philly and Boston of course, and Toronto and 1288 00:57:38,240 --> 00:57:41,520 Speaker 5: Brooklyn as we said there, so those could be done. 1289 00:57:41,680 --> 00:57:43,240 Speaker 5: Those definitely could be done. And then you got a 1290 00:57:43,320 --> 00:57:47,560 Speaker 5: Denver Utah series, the late one on TNT with the 1291 00:57:47,640 --> 00:57:51,760 Speaker 5: Jazz up to to one. But of course, as this 1292 00:57:52,080 --> 00:57:55,080 Speaker 5: game that's got the most prominent spot here on ABC, 1293 00:57:55,320 --> 00:57:58,240 Speaker 5: the classic three point thirty. John Tesh used to be 1294 00:57:58,280 --> 00:58:02,080 Speaker 5: playing the piano before this, I do believe, right or so, 1295 00:58:02,240 --> 00:58:04,960 Speaker 5: that was the NBA on NBC I don't know anyway. 1296 00:58:05,840 --> 00:58:07,840 Speaker 5: I get my BC's mixed up all the time. Three 1297 00:58:08,000 --> 00:58:12,560 Speaker 5: thirty Clippers Dallas will Luka Doncic play. He's a game 1298 00:58:12,600 --> 00:58:17,880 Speaker 5: time decision. Left ankle injury. You'd assume that he would 1299 00:58:17,880 --> 00:58:20,800 Speaker 5: play because he came out and was limping all through 1300 00:58:20,840 --> 00:58:23,160 Speaker 5: the you know, through the on the ramp there, and 1301 00:58:23,480 --> 00:58:27,320 Speaker 5: came back to play two days ago. I would assume 1302 00:58:27,360 --> 00:58:29,800 Speaker 5: that he would play. And he mentioned that it's a 1303 00:58:29,840 --> 00:58:32,640 Speaker 5: good thing that this wasn't my right ankle, because I 1304 00:58:32,720 --> 00:58:36,600 Speaker 5: heard that earlier in the season twice and that would 1305 00:58:36,600 --> 00:58:40,200 Speaker 5: have lingering effects. But now it's a different ankle. And 1306 00:58:40,480 --> 00:58:42,800 Speaker 5: if you're listening to this as the game is on 1307 00:58:43,040 --> 00:58:46,200 Speaker 5: or you know, after the game has begun, hopefully Luca 1308 00:58:46,280 --> 00:58:48,480 Speaker 5: came out there and had a good one, you'd assume 1309 00:58:48,520 --> 00:58:52,720 Speaker 5: that he's he's tough enough to uh and the injury 1310 00:58:52,760 --> 00:58:55,640 Speaker 5: isn't bad enough. As Ri Carlo said that the injury 1311 00:58:55,720 --> 00:59:00,440 Speaker 5: isn't isn't debilitating or there's wasn't anything along arming on 1312 00:59:00,440 --> 00:59:02,480 Speaker 5: that MRI was the exact verbiage. 1313 00:59:02,480 --> 00:59:04,280 Speaker 4: So hopefully he's out there playing. 1314 00:59:04,520 --> 00:59:06,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, I would expect him to play in this at 1315 00:59:06,480 --> 00:59:09,240 Speaker 2: least to give it a go. Right and put some 1316 00:59:09,240 --> 00:59:11,160 Speaker 2: pressure on it and see if it actually hurts or 1317 00:59:11,280 --> 00:59:13,280 Speaker 2: or if he's fine. Once the adrenaline kicks in, I 1318 00:59:13,320 --> 00:59:16,360 Speaker 2: think he'll play. And yeah, that one's on ABC. Just 1319 00:59:16,400 --> 00:59:20,160 Speaker 2: reminded me.
