And they are now just nine wins away. 0:02:17.200 --> 0:02:22.000 As the Warriors dynastic run is on the brink. We 0:02:22.040 --> 0:02:25.360 will get to all of that shortly. Diora is here. 0:02:25.680 --> 0:02:28.760 She is doing a tremendous job. She also gave out 0:02:28.800 --> 0:02:31.680 her Instagram at the end of yesterday's show. And many 0:02:31.720 --> 0:02:37.000 of you are very bad people. That's just a fact. 0:02:37.280 --> 0:02:39.640 You can deal with that however you want. That's between 0:02:39.680 --> 0:02:43.480 your priest, or your God or whomever you can ask 0:02:43.560 --> 0:02:46.560 us questions. We will do that in the C block. Also, 0:02:47.080 --> 0:02:50.360 we are doing Nick right public defender today. When we 0:02:50.480 --> 0:02:53.400 did that with Demanse, he had to wear a powder 0:02:53.480 --> 0:02:57.120 wig and had a gavel. Demonse called me yesterday saying, 0:02:57.160 --> 0:02:59.440 you need to bring the wig and gavel to the show. 0:03:00.000 --> 0:03:01.799 And I didn't tell him this, but I will be. 0:03:01.760 --> 0:03:04.320 Telling him this now. I'm not gonna make my daughter 0:03:04.400 --> 0:03:04.600 do that. 0:03:05.360 --> 0:03:08.120 I'm not gonna make diora ware the powder wig and 0:03:08.240 --> 0:03:11.840 do the gavel and all that foolishness. Demon's that was 0:03:11.880 --> 0:03:15.000 something I felt good about making him do, making him 0:03:15.040 --> 0:03:17.920 look ridiculous. I'm not gonna do that to you. We 0:03:18.000 --> 0:03:21.760 will still play public defender. Here is what is not 0:03:22.040 --> 0:03:25.600 on today's show, and then we will officially welcome door in. 0:03:25.880 --> 0:03:28.040 The NBA's all Rookie team has been announced. Not on 0:03:28.080 --> 0:03:28.400 the show. 0:03:29.040 --> 0:03:31.679 Isaiah Pacheco has two offseason surgeries. 0:03:31.720 --> 0:03:35.040 The guy who's running all year, running through defenses for 0:03:35.080 --> 0:03:38.280 the Super Bowl champion Chiefs with a torn lab room 0:03:38.320 --> 0:03:43.400 and other stuff, no problem. And Cal McNair says he 0:03:43.440 --> 0:03:47.640 didn't force the CJ Stroud pick. All right, Diorra, welcome in. 0:03:48.320 --> 0:03:51.839 You're doing a wonderful job, big show today. Well, that's 0:03:51.920 --> 0:03:54.280 one of your best shows already. You know how, Some 0:03:54.440 --> 0:03:57.560 days I say, you know how? You know how? Some 0:03:57.680 --> 0:04:00.840 days I say I'm gonna stay true to the clock. 0:04:01.400 --> 0:04:05.280 I'm not gonna go over. I'm going the opposite today. 0:04:05.440 --> 0:04:08.640 Maybe that will mean that you stay under this time. 0:04:08.880 --> 0:04:12.000 Maybe probably not though, because I think we're doing twenty 0:04:12.040 --> 0:04:14.360 minutes on the Laker game. But we'll see. I know 0:04:14.400 --> 0:04:16.839 you have places to be. Dooro needed today to be 0:04:16.880 --> 0:04:17.640 a short show. 0:04:18.040 --> 0:04:20.320 Not gonna happen. What are we starting with? 0:04:20.720 --> 0:04:23.360 So the most clutch player of all time had a 0:04:23.480 --> 0:04:26.520 huge fourth quarter for the Lakers. I'm referring, of course, 0:04:26.560 --> 0:04:27.360 to Lonnie Walker. 0:04:27.440 --> 0:04:28.400 Shout out Lonnie. 0:04:29.440 --> 0:04:32.440 Now it's three to one and the Warriors could never 0:04:32.640 --> 0:04:34.120 come back from three to one. 0:04:34.240 --> 0:04:38.400 Okay, stop god, Kevin Duranslaw walking through that door. By that, 0:04:38.480 --> 0:04:40.599 I mean going up against him, but go ahead, Okay. 0:04:40.839 --> 0:04:42.480 Are you at all worried that this is part of 0:04:42.480 --> 0:04:45.120 the Warriors plan to get back at Lebron for twenty sixteen? 0:04:45.200 --> 0:04:47.040 No, I'm not at all worried about that. The Warriors 0:04:47.040 --> 0:04:50.159 are cooked. They're done, they're finished. You guys were all 0:04:50.360 --> 0:04:53.640 so giddy. Oh, Nick's gonna have to eat crow on 0:04:53.720 --> 0:04:57.080 the Warriors again. Oh they beat his Kings. And while 0:04:57.120 --> 0:04:59.400 I'm sad, they beat my Kings and it did cost 0:04:59.440 --> 0:05:03.720 me some money. It is more fitting that the Golden 0:05:03.760 --> 0:05:09.920 State Warriors, who have never lost a playoff series under 0:05:09.960 --> 0:05:16.360 Steve Kerr in the Western Conference playoffs, finally for the 0:05:16.400 --> 0:05:19.359 first time ever, lose a series under Kerr on the 0:05:19.360 --> 0:05:23.480 Western Conference side of the bracket because Lebron James walks 0:05:23.520 --> 0:05:27.080 through that door to that conference and beats them. But 0:05:27.200 --> 0:05:29.560 the story, you are correct, was not Lebron last night. 0:05:29.600 --> 0:05:32.640 While he was good, once again, he can't hit threes, 0:05:32.760 --> 0:05:35.760 very frustrating. The story, of course, for the Lakers was 0:05:35.880 --> 0:05:41.400 Lonnie Walker. Lonnie Walker had fifteen fourth quarter points, the 0:05:41.440 --> 0:05:45.080 majority of which over steph Curry, and it helped the 0:05:45.160 --> 0:05:49.080 Lakers come back from a double digit second half deficit 0:05:49.480 --> 0:05:53.000 to put the Warriors on the brink. And Anthony Davis 0:05:53.080 --> 0:05:58.680 was brilliant early and then very good late Defensively, Lonnie Walker, 0:05:59.360 --> 0:06:02.320 who was a starter for some of this year, was 0:06:02.360 --> 0:06:05.839 heavily in the rotation and then relegated to the bench. 0:06:06.600 --> 0:06:11.960 DNP coaches decisions. He's stayed ready and he came through 0:06:12.279 --> 0:06:15.480 he's only twenty four years old and now for the Lakers. 0:06:15.520 --> 0:06:16.400 But the Lakers are not the. 0:06:16.400 --> 0:06:19.000 Most interesting side of this. The Warriors are. We'll get 0:06:19.040 --> 0:06:21.400 to them in a second. That door is mocking my 0:06:21.440 --> 0:06:23.640 hand movements. That's fine. 0:06:23.839 --> 0:06:24.520 The Lakers. 0:06:24.560 --> 0:06:30.960 Now you have your starting five that you trust, Lebron. 0:06:31.040 --> 0:06:33.960 Ad Lebron and Lebron. 0:06:33.880 --> 0:06:38.400 Lebron, ad van Do for defense, Reeves for a little 0:06:38.400 --> 0:06:42.520 bit of everything, and d Low. Now you don't know 0:06:42.600 --> 0:06:44.880 what you're gonna get from all of those guys every night, 0:06:44.920 --> 0:06:48.159 and Vando yesterday didn't play much. But that's your five. 0:06:48.800 --> 0:06:52.599 Then off the bench, you have Shrewder who can get 0:06:52.680 --> 0:06:56.160 hot and is a smart player, even if sometimes he's 0:06:56.160 --> 0:06:59.440 a very inefficient player. You have Rui who has been 0:06:59.600 --> 0:07:03.560 excellent all postseason. And now all of a sudden, you 0:07:03.560 --> 0:07:07.240 have a Lonnie Walker that gets you to eight before 0:07:07.320 --> 0:07:10.040 you have to go to your backup center Wining Gabriel, 0:07:10.480 --> 0:07:13.679 and then your backup shooters Troy Brown and Malik Beasley 0:07:13.720 --> 0:07:16.679 if you ever see him again. That is a deep, 0:07:17.560 --> 0:07:21.200 dangerous team. 0:07:21.320 --> 0:07:23.440 But the other deep and dangerous if they didn't have 0:07:23.560 --> 0:07:25.960 Lebron and had all those other players. 0:07:25.560 --> 0:07:27.880 Well, well, listen, Lebron has not been the best player 0:07:27.880 --> 0:07:30.080 in the Lakers this posting. It's been Anthony Davis. But 0:07:30.120 --> 0:07:31.480 I'm glad you brought up Lebron. 0:07:31.600 --> 0:07:33.400 Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry. 0:07:34.360 --> 0:07:36.680 And pull your microphone up a little closer to you 0:07:36.720 --> 0:07:37.239 if you could. 0:07:37.280 --> 0:07:38.960 You'll have time here because I'm probably gonna talk for 0:07:38.960 --> 0:07:43.280 about fourteen minutes here. Ah. It's very interesting what we 0:07:43.320 --> 0:07:48.280 saw from Lebron yesterday. All postseason, he has not been 0:07:48.360 --> 0:07:51.320 running the point. He has been playing more of a 0:07:51.360 --> 0:07:59.520 traditional forward role. Fourth quarter, down seven yesterday, gotta have 0:07:59.640 --> 0:08:02.240 it gain, I know what have just been to to. 0:08:02.880 --> 0:08:05.880 The Lakers have to win their home games to win 0:08:05.920 --> 0:08:08.720 the title. They had to win last night to win 0:08:08.760 --> 0:08:11.760 this series. Lebron says, all right, I'll put my hand 0:08:11.800 --> 0:08:15.679 on the joystick. I'm going to control everything now. Again, 0:08:15.760 --> 0:08:18.040 he didn't even play great in the fourth quarter, but 0:08:18.120 --> 0:08:21.440 it was just so crystal clear that he was waiting 0:08:21.560 --> 0:08:27.960 to see when he had to activate point. Lebron, he 0:08:28.040 --> 0:08:31.239 has not done it yet this postseason. For the vast 0:08:31.280 --> 0:08:34.680 majority of his career, it was the only way he played, 0:08:35.600 --> 0:08:38.480 and now he has been playing a different role, and 0:08:38.559 --> 0:08:41.240 all of a sudden, who was twenty sixteen all over again. 0:08:41.600 --> 0:08:43.360 Where's Steph Curry hunt? 0:08:43.400 --> 0:08:46.839 Steph Curry gets step in a pick and roll LEBRONI 0:08:46.840 --> 0:08:49.640 their backs him down or Lonnie Walker takes him off 0:08:49.679 --> 0:08:53.720 the dribble, and Steph, who had on the offensive side 0:08:53.800 --> 0:08:58.000 been brilliant much of the night, of course, had no answer. 0:08:58.440 --> 0:09:01.839 We also got a little twenty sixteen throwback Lebron Steph 0:09:01.880 --> 0:09:04.360 Curry chase down block with a little with a bit 0:09:04.400 --> 0:09:08.560 of a mean mugging as well. So that's how the 0:09:08.640 --> 0:09:12.680 Lakers got up three to one. Now to the Warriors 0:09:12.760 --> 0:09:18.959 side of things, so forget, we'll go little picture to 0:09:19.040 --> 0:09:19.640 big picture. 0:09:22.480 --> 0:09:23.840 Kurk does not know. 0:09:25.240 --> 0:09:28.960 Who he can play set on TV yesterday and I 0:09:29.040 --> 0:09:31.800 was of course proven correct. And by the way, that 0:09:31.920 --> 0:09:35.800 is now ten Laker games these playoffs, ten times on television, 0:09:35.880 --> 0:09:37.559 we've picked a winner of the day of the game, 0:09:37.800 --> 0:09:41.040 and I am ten and up. I have correctly picked 0:09:41.080 --> 0:09:44.760 the Lakers winner in each and every game. Before the 0:09:44.800 --> 0:09:49.320 Grizzly series, I said Lakers win one, three, four and six. 0:09:49.760 --> 0:09:53.840 And before the Warriors series, I said the Lakers win 0:09:54.320 --> 0:09:56.840 same as the Grizzly series one, three, four and six. 0:09:56.960 --> 0:09:59.760 We're ten for ten. The other thing I said on 0:09:59.760 --> 0:10:02.960 TV yesterday was Kurrz got five guys he trusts, but 0:10:03.000 --> 0:10:05.080 you can't play all five at the same time against 0:10:05.160 --> 0:10:11.199 this team. Those five are Steph Clay, Draymond, Wiggins, Looney, 0:10:11.520 --> 0:10:13.800 but they don't want to play Draymond and Looney at 0:10:13.840 --> 0:10:16.680 the same time against this team. So who's going to 0:10:16.720 --> 0:10:21.360 be that fifth guy? They started Jamichael Green, They tried that. 0:10:21.800 --> 0:10:25.280 He played two minutes yesterday. Yesterday they've started Jordan Pool 0:10:25.320 --> 0:10:30.440 these playoffs. Pool played ten minutes, had was over four, 0:10:30.760 --> 0:10:33.720 had two of the most hilarious turnovers you'll ever see, 0:10:33.800 --> 0:10:36.920 and then was relegated to the bench. More on him 0:10:36.920 --> 0:10:40.920 in a moment. So yesterday start Gary Payton. Gary Payton 0:10:40.960 --> 0:10:43.959 played as well as he can play. Still not a 0:10:44.000 --> 0:10:46.120 guy you want out there and playoff crunch time. So 0:10:46.160 --> 0:10:50.559 they went to Moses Moody, who of their young guys 0:10:51.800 --> 0:10:55.920 once upon a time kaminga Wiseman Pool Moody, he was 0:10:55.960 --> 0:10:59.120 the one they trusted the well, Wiseman's one they trusted 0:10:59.160 --> 0:11:01.959 the least, but he was then or two pick. Moody 0:11:02.040 --> 0:11:05.720 was the one they trusted the secondly, uh least, and 0:11:06.000 --> 0:11:08.880 now he can't Now they're playing him in crunch time. 0:11:08.720 --> 0:11:12.720 Of playoff games, they don't have enough. 0:11:13.920 --> 0:11:18.920 They got seven of nine from the field and three 0:11:18.960 --> 0:11:20.079 of five from three. 0:11:20.880 --> 0:11:24.960 In fact, you know what, they got fourteen. 0:11:24.440 --> 0:11:28.560 Of eighteen from the field and four of seven from 0:11:28.600 --> 0:11:34.760 three and thirty two points from Peyton Devenceinzo Moody. 0:11:35.080 --> 0:11:37.040 That's as good as you can possibly hope for. 0:11:37.400 --> 0:11:44.080 And it wasn't enough. Why well, their big three core 0:11:44.880 --> 0:11:51.959 all had massive gaffs in the final few minutes. Let's 0:11:51.960 --> 0:11:58.080 start with Steph. Step was brilliant as a distributor. The 0:11:58.160 --> 0:12:01.439 two highest assist games he's had in the last decade 0:12:01.480 --> 0:12:04.840 in the playoffs have been in the last week, Game 0:12:04.920 --> 0:12:07.719 two and Game four of this series. Last night he 0:12:07.760 --> 0:12:11.960 had thirty one, ten and fourteen, but he did not 0:12:12.200 --> 0:12:16.560 have his shot. He was three of fourteen from three. 0:12:17.000 --> 0:12:22.640 Despite that, late in the game, Steph goes a little 0:12:22.679 --> 0:12:32.520 hero ball down one less than a minute left, Steph 0:12:33.000 --> 0:12:40.680 takes a pull up twenty footer over Anthony Davis miss 0:12:41.400 --> 0:12:44.840 Draymond gets the rebound. More on that in a moment 0:12:46.320 --> 0:12:51.240 kicks it out to Steph. Steph does it was a 0:12:51.280 --> 0:12:55.760 carbon copy of the Kevin Love play from Game seven 0:12:55.800 --> 0:12:56.760 to twenty sixteen. 0:12:57.559 --> 0:13:00.600 Dribbled dribble, dribbled, crossover, crossover, try to shake. 0:13:00.360 --> 0:13:02.040 Any We're trying to get back at Lebron. 0:13:02.440 --> 0:13:04.320 What well, I think they're trying to win the game. 0:13:04.640 --> 0:13:06.640 I think they're trying to win the game. And I 0:13:06.679 --> 0:13:09.120 think Steph thought this was their best chance. But he 0:13:09.160 --> 0:13:15.280 couldn't get around Anthony Davis and he heaves a bad three, 0:13:15.840 --> 0:13:23.600 a bad three miss. Then they get the jump ball 0:13:24.040 --> 0:13:28.360 with five seconds left, they have a time out. Steph 0:13:28.480 --> 0:13:32.360 is on the ground, could call time out, have two 0:13:32.440 --> 0:13:36.520 and a half three seconds left, down three, Steph just 0:13:36.840 --> 0:13:40.240 has a mental lapse, throws the ball blindly over the 0:13:40.240 --> 0:13:40.600 back of. 0:13:40.559 --> 0:13:41.920 His head out of bounds. 0:13:43.080 --> 0:13:44.240 Game over, you lose. 0:13:45.920 --> 0:13:46.800 It was pretty close. 0:13:47.240 --> 0:13:51.280 It was very close. I understand that, and I appreciate 0:13:51.320 --> 0:13:54.960 you trying to be nice to the Warriors. But Steph 0:13:55.120 --> 0:13:59.720 was too good offensively for forty seven minutes to have 0:13:59.760 --> 0:14:02.440 that be the end. But it was. And this is 0:14:02.440 --> 0:14:08.640 where we have the uncomfortable facts conversation last twenty five years, 0:14:09.280 --> 0:14:13.160 to tie or take the lead in the final minute 0:14:13.559 --> 0:14:19.240 of playoff games. Steph Curry is now six for twenty five. 0:14:21.720 --> 0:14:26.520 That is the second worst in the league, ahead of 0:14:26.680 --> 0:14:33.320 only Russell Westbrook. He's shooting twenty four percent playoff games 0:14:33.600 --> 0:14:37.960 tire or take the lead minute left or less. He 0:14:38.080 --> 0:14:41.200 was zero for two yesterday. Six for twenty five now Lebron, 0:14:41.280 --> 0:14:43.280 of course, is the second best in that stretch, behind 0:14:43.280 --> 0:14:47.080 only Ray Helm on threes. By the way, in that situation, 0:14:48.680 --> 0:14:51.480 Steph is three for fourteen twenty one percent. 0:14:52.600 --> 0:14:56.840 That is better than only Kevin Durant. 0:14:56.840 --> 0:15:01.160 Hadu Turklou, Kobe Bryant who's three for seven, and Russ 0:15:01.160 --> 0:15:05.280 who is an impossible one for fourteen. Lebron again, if 0:15:05.280 --> 0:15:07.680 you care, in those situations, three pointers to tire or 0:15:07.720 --> 0:15:10.200 take the lead in the final middle playoff games is 0:15:10.240 --> 0:15:11.800 the fourth best. 0:15:12.120 --> 0:15:14.600 It's about talking about this for thirteen minutes. 0:15:14.400 --> 0:15:18.440 No twenty minutes probably, uh, Reggie Dame and Ray Allen 0:15:18.520 --> 0:15:23.600 round ten for sixteen on those just bananas. So for Steph, 0:15:24.080 --> 0:15:29.520 brilliant offens. Lonnie Walker has not taken enough of those 0:15:29.520 --> 0:15:32.080 shots to qualify. In fact, he's taken none to qualify. 0:15:32.360 --> 0:15:35.320 But I've still got nothing but love. He just hasn't. 0:15:35.360 --> 0:15:37.760 He's never taken it. It is his first real playoff action. 0:15:38.480 --> 0:15:45.720 Uh So that's Steph offensively great for forty seven minutes. 0:15:45.760 --> 0:15:51.200 Bad for the last minute. Defensively, Lonnie Walker kept dotting 0:15:51.200 --> 0:15:55.239 his eye and Lebron got isoed with him a few times, 0:15:55.560 --> 0:15:59.840 and he kept foiling and Lebron, Lebron, who famously is 0:15:59.840 --> 0:16:03.640 afraid of free throws, runs from the foul line, even 0:16:03.680 --> 0:16:06.800 though and people say that, despite the fact that even 0:16:06.800 --> 0:16:10.360 the most ardent Lebron James hater can't point to a 0:16:10.680 --> 0:16:16.760 single playoff game in his twenty year career that oh, yeah, 0:16:16.800 --> 0:16:19.560 his team lost because he missed a late free throw. Lebron, 0:16:19.640 --> 0:16:21.440 of course, goes four for four from the line the 0:16:21.440 --> 0:16:23.880 final three minutes. So there's the staff part. 0:16:24.680 --> 0:16:26.760 Now the Clay part, steph part. 0:16:26.840 --> 0:16:28.600 Yeah, we're not moving on yet. I told you this 0:16:28.720 --> 0:16:32.800 was gonna be a while. The Clay part. Clay did 0:16:32.840 --> 0:16:36.760 not have it last night. Now, he hit a corner 0:16:36.840 --> 0:16:42.360 three of a great pass I think for Moses Moody 0:16:42.440 --> 0:16:47.160 to go up ninety nine to ninety six. At that moment, 0:16:47.640 --> 0:16:50.880 he was three for seven from three. He was three 0:16:50.960 --> 0:16:54.240 for nine for the game, and at least he made 0:16:54.280 --> 0:17:01.280 that big shot. Clay then takes an impart possibly bad 0:17:02.120 --> 0:17:06.400 pull up thirty footer from the right wing, and then 0:17:06.400 --> 0:17:12.200 an almost equally bad pull up twenty four footer from 0:17:12.240 --> 0:17:16.560 the left wing that almost made Kerr pass out. You 0:17:16.600 --> 0:17:20.000 can see him in one of the shots. You see 0:17:20.080 --> 0:17:22.840 Clay take the shot, and you see Kerr have a 0:17:22.880 --> 0:17:24.720 little mini conniption. 0:17:25.920 --> 0:17:26.760 And then they move on. 0:17:27.000 --> 0:17:28.240 I swear you're making these. 0:17:28.480 --> 0:17:28.960 Look it up. 0:17:29.760 --> 0:17:31.480 So Clay. 0:17:31.800 --> 0:17:35.480 Here's the thing, man, everybody loves Clay. Clay's one of 0:17:35.520 --> 0:17:39.240 the greatest players ever. We all know that. Man oh man. 0:17:40.080 --> 0:17:43.080 When he's great, he gets all the love. 0:17:44.040 --> 0:17:48.240 And when he's bad, we just move on other guys 0:17:48.720 --> 0:17:51.880 that are second best guys on a team. When they're bad, 0:17:52.200 --> 0:17:56.560 people come for him. Clay was really bad last night. 0:17:57.240 --> 0:18:01.720 Took two really bad shots, and it's just got to 0:18:01.720 --> 0:18:08.800 be acknowledged. And then there's Draymond. Draymond off the first 0:18:08.840 --> 0:18:12.800 Steph miss with forty seconds left, thirty seconds left, whatever 0:18:12.840 --> 0:18:17.960 it was. Draymond gets the offensive rebound, has shrewder on him. 0:18:18.200 --> 0:18:22.680 They're down one. He's three feet from the basket, could 0:18:22.800 --> 0:18:26.159 just go up with it, doesn't even look at the 0:18:26.200 --> 0:18:29.879 basket and instead throws it thirty five feet away from 0:18:29.920 --> 0:18:37.080 the basket to Steph. Go up, Draymond, trust yourself, offensive rebound, 0:18:37.240 --> 0:18:38.760 lay up your ahead by one. 0:18:38.880 --> 0:18:40.400 He didn't want it to be his fault if. 0:18:40.800 --> 0:18:45.480 Well, unfortunately for him, it ended up being his fault 0:18:46.160 --> 0:18:51.159 because after all that, they run a play with fifteen 0:18:51.280 --> 0:18:58.880 seconds left, after a trying to think what happened here? 0:18:59.560 --> 0:19:02.280 Did make two free throws? I think whatever it was, 0:19:02.680 --> 0:19:04.800 or maybe Lonnie Walker made a jump shot. I gotta 0:19:05.520 --> 0:19:08.080 the I'm not sure exactly. I'm gonna check real quick, 0:19:08.560 --> 0:19:11.480 but the to give you the exact circumstances that led 0:19:11.520 --> 0:19:16.160 to the turnover. But uh, yeah, Lonnie Walker made two 0:19:16.200 --> 0:19:19.639 free throws. That's right, because they fouled him and the 0:19:19.640 --> 0:19:24.640 Warriors run hammer. Lebron calls it out. Every is pointing 0:19:24.680 --> 0:19:29.560 to everyone where to go. Draymond throws a perfect pass 0:19:30.080 --> 0:19:33.720 to Anthony Davis. Problem, of course, there is Anthony Davis 0:19:33.800 --> 0:19:38.320 place for the Lakers. Now, I'm yet, let me check 0:19:38.359 --> 0:19:45.200 and see Draymond, you know who's been potting quite regularly. Uh, 0:19:45.280 --> 0:19:49.560 let me see if we have an updated Draymond Green 0:19:49.680 --> 0:19:55.840 show after yesterday's game. Waiting, waiting. Uh, that's a shame. 0:19:56.600 --> 0:20:04.480 We don't if this was the last high leverage moment 0:20:05.359 --> 0:20:08.760 for that Warrior's Big three altogether, because Draymond is not 0:20:08.880 --> 0:20:14.280 guaranteed to be back It's a rough final three minutes 0:20:15.040 --> 0:20:19.960 for each of them. Steph had some bad moments, Clay 0:20:20.040 --> 0:20:23.359 had some brutal the two brutal shots, and Draymond had 0:20:23.400 --> 0:20:28.240 the killer turnover, just killer for all of them. And 0:20:28.280 --> 0:20:33.960 then last point on this as bad as being down 0:20:34.000 --> 0:20:37.320 three to one and as dire as it looks, the 0:20:37.400 --> 0:20:41.520 worst thing for the Warriors right now might be that 0:20:41.640 --> 0:20:44.960 Jordan Poole, who curse seems to be giving up on, 0:20:46.600 --> 0:20:50.920 has four years and one hundred and twenty eight million 0:20:51.000 --> 0:20:56.159 dollars on an extension that does not even start until 0:20:56.200 --> 0:21:03.120 next season. They paid Jordan Poole early, Draymond slugged him, 0:21:03.680 --> 0:21:06.720 his season has been bad, his playoffs have been worse, 0:21:07.680 --> 0:21:11.680 and all of a sudden, I think that might be 0:21:12.560 --> 0:21:21.240 the worst contract in the league. So dire straits for 0:21:21.320 --> 0:21:27.119 the defending champion Golden State Warriors, DIORA moving on. 0:21:27.440 --> 0:21:29.560 We can now move on what's next. 0:21:29.840 --> 0:21:33.000 The Heat are a game away from making the conference finals, 0:21:33.200 --> 0:21:35.760 but they only have to beat the banged up Bucks 0:21:35.960 --> 0:21:38.480 and the Knicks to get there. Yep, it's hard to 0:21:38.480 --> 0:21:41.919 say that the team, if the team that could actually 0:21:42.000 --> 0:21:45.360 beat the Hawks, is actually legit. At eighteen to one 0:21:45.440 --> 0:21:47.840 to win the title. Is it worth the shot? 0:21:48.960 --> 0:21:57.560 So absolutely? The Heat. How the Heat are still underrated 0:21:57.560 --> 0:22:01.560 and undervalued is beyond me. I understand they don't have 0:22:02.760 --> 0:22:06.560 a roster full of great players. I get that, and 0:22:06.640 --> 0:22:08.800 this piece of hair is just going to drive me crazy. 0:22:08.880 --> 0:22:10.560 I'm trying to fix it the whole I'm looking at 0:22:10.560 --> 0:22:15.199 myself and the camera screen. It's just killing me. I 0:22:15.280 --> 0:22:20.119 understand that what they do have is the best coach 0:22:20.160 --> 0:22:24.320 in the NBA and Jimmy Butler, who's been as good 0:22:24.359 --> 0:22:27.760 as just about anyone in this postseason. And now they're 0:22:27.840 --> 0:22:30.600 up three to one on the Knicks, and the Bucks 0:22:31.160 --> 0:22:32.200 were the one. 0:22:32.000 --> 0:22:33.400 Seed and they beat them. 0:22:33.480 --> 0:22:38.200 I know Yannis was missed Game two and three and 0:22:38.960 --> 0:22:42.880 large part of game one, Game four and five, though 0:22:42.920 --> 0:22:45.879 he was back and game five, Yannis seemed to be 0:22:45.920 --> 0:22:48.919 pretty damn healthy. And in both of those games, the 0:22:49.000 --> 0:22:52.320 Heat had double digit deficits that they overcame in the 0:22:52.359 --> 0:22:55.879 fourth quarter. And in this game, game four, they just 0:22:55.960 --> 0:23:02.560 out hustled and out fought the Knicks. And can the 0:23:02.600 --> 0:23:06.720 Heat beat Boston? Of course they can. They took them 0:23:06.720 --> 0:23:09.920 to seven last year came down to a Jimmy Butler three. 0:23:10.760 --> 0:23:15.239 Can the Heat with Jimmy and Spoe beat Philly. Of 0:23:15.280 --> 0:23:16.120 course they could. 0:23:17.600 --> 0:23:19.080 You're very passionate today. 0:23:19.440 --> 0:23:23.200 Yeah, I'm fired up? Is a so I the Heat 0:23:23.240 --> 0:23:23.720 it Listen. 0:23:23.840 --> 0:23:25.679 I don't think the Heat are gonna win the title, 0:23:26.000 --> 0:23:28.800 but I think right now, let me see what their 0:23:28.800 --> 0:23:33.919 odds are to win the conference. He definitely knows the 0:23:35.240 --> 0:23:37.359 I No, I don't know what their odds are to 0:23:37.400 --> 0:23:41.440 win the conference. The let me, I'm just gonna look 0:23:41.480 --> 0:23:48.920 real quick, the to win the Eastern Conference. They're play Yeah, 0:23:49.119 --> 0:23:53.080 four to one, that's not what they should be. It 0:23:53.200 --> 0:23:56.600 is crazy to me that Boston is minus one seventy five. 0:23:57.040 --> 0:23:59.800 And it's not because Boston would be the favorite over Miami. 0:23:59.840 --> 0:24:02.880 I know they would be in Vegas, but Boston might 0:24:02.960 --> 0:24:06.320 not get there, and the Heat are definitely getting there. 0:24:07.720 --> 0:24:11.240 The Heat are. They were bad in the play in, 0:24:11.640 --> 0:24:14.600 they were bad in the regular season. Jimmy Butler is 0:24:14.640 --> 0:24:19.040 a sixteen game player. Spolstra is a great coach. 0:24:20.080 --> 0:24:20.800 They have enough. 0:24:22.520 --> 0:24:23.520 What's the follow up here? 0:24:24.560 --> 0:24:26.679 What do you think about Julius Randall saying that the 0:24:26.720 --> 0:24:27.640 Heat won it more. 0:24:28.920 --> 0:24:33.720 The Knicks effort, particularly on the defensive glass yesterday, was pathetic. 0:24:35.400 --> 0:24:39.960 And listen, the Knicks fans were all mad at me, 0:24:40.840 --> 0:24:44.800 and I understand I underrated them slightly, but I mostly 0:24:45.880 --> 0:24:48.920 I underrated them against the Cavs. But otherwise I had 0:24:48.960 --> 0:24:52.720 it right. This team was not a real threat. And 0:24:52.840 --> 0:24:58.080 Julius Randalls anyone box score wise had a good game yesterday, 0:24:58.240 --> 0:25:02.439 ie test wise, he didn't, and Randal now has to 0:25:02.520 --> 0:25:08.200 reconcile these things. In twenty twenty one, he was twenty 0:25:08.240 --> 0:25:11.879 four and ten on forty five percent shooting in the 0:25:11.880 --> 0:25:16.560 regular season, and then in the playoffs he was eighteen 0:25:17.960 --> 0:25:20.720 and eleven. Give him credit for that on twenty nine 0:25:20.840 --> 0:25:26.199 percent shooting in the postseason. This year he's gonna make 0:25:26.200 --> 0:25:29.359 an All NBA team. He was twenty five and ten 0:25:29.600 --> 0:25:33.359 on forty six percent in the regular season, and in 0:25:33.400 --> 0:25:38.240 the playoffs he's been sixteen and eight on thirty seven percent. 0:25:40.040 --> 0:25:46.160
