Probably the biggest stunner in the 15 00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:55,960 Speaker 1: playoffs thus far, the Dallas Mavericks smacked the ship out 16 00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:59,680 Speaker 1: of the Phoenix Suns. Little tune she friend of the 17 00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:03,560 Speaker 1: pro rom, one of our favorites, had a tweet that 18 00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 1: Red and I quote Luca Ho just h he was 19 00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:15,000 Speaker 1: actually courtside yesterday to watch that fish fry then Luca 20 00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:17,839 Speaker 1: put on their Phoenix Boys. Thoughts on the tweet thoughts 21 00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:19,920 Speaker 1: on him being courtside and just how much it makes 22 00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:22,440 Speaker 1: this the game better. I mean, you know, when Luke, 23 00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:24,320 Speaker 1: when Luca fish frown like that, I don't think you 24 00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:25,960 Speaker 1: can do is get some tartar saws and join in 25 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:28,800 Speaker 1: and try to enjoy it. I think you know he 26 00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:30,760 Speaker 1: love you to seep. They go way back and when 27 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,399 Speaker 1: see people was playing in New Orleans even you know 28 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:36,399 Speaker 1: when when um terming all them, they're all real cool. 29 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,520 Speaker 1: So I think he just loyal to Cep, you know, 30 00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:42,000 Speaker 1: win to lose. But he sat there and watched that 31 00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:46,120 Speaker 1: that fish fry like a man um you know it was. 32 00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 1: I mean, that's all he could That's all he could 33 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 1: call Luca. One thing I know about Lucas he liked 34 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:54,200 Speaker 1: that type stuff. He liked to step up and shut 35 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:56,760 Speaker 1: people up and and make those faces when he hit 36 00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,720 Speaker 1: the three. So but it was good to see for Luca. Man. Uh, 37 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:01,960 Speaker 1: I think Nat told me I had I had the 38 00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:06,240 Speaker 1: um the MAVs winning. Nice. Luca needs to send uh 39 00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:12,120 Speaker 1: Wayne in jersey autographed from home from home. So let's 40 00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,640 Speaker 1: get to the game. Man. Luca scored the first eight points, 41 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:18,960 Speaker 1: never looked back. The starters had just fifteen points combined 42 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 1: in the first half, Sons twenty seven at half Luca 43 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 1: Dodge that had had twenty seven at half, Jack, what 44 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,640 Speaker 1: happened with this game? Man? Man? You know, I just 45 00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:34,799 Speaker 1: think like everybody is not meant for those big moments, Bro, 46 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,239 Speaker 1: everybody is not meant to step up and make shots 47 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,800 Speaker 1: and make plays in those big moments. I think Dallas 48 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,799 Speaker 1: was the more confident team going into this Game seven. 49 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 1: They played more free the rest of the game, and 50 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:47,359 Speaker 1: Luca was the best player on the court. And that's 51 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:49,359 Speaker 1: and that's your best player. If you were the best 52 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,720 Speaker 1: player on the court at the time, and you're the 53 00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:53,160 Speaker 1: best player on the team and they call you one 54 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:55,160 Speaker 1: of the best players in the league, that's what you do. 55 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:57,680 Speaker 1: You take over game, especially on the road. I said 56 00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,680 Speaker 1: that whoever's gonna win this series gonna win a game 57 00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:02,919 Speaker 1: on the road. And Game seven was the perfect game 58 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:04,640 Speaker 1: of Dallas to win on the road. I mean, Luca 59 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,240 Speaker 1: was incredible. Uh And shout out j Kid too, man, 60 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:09,399 Speaker 1: he had he got these dudes together and you could 61 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:12,600 Speaker 1: tell they had a different energy about them. Probably actually 62 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:15,160 Speaker 1: after they lost the first two, they started, you know, 63 00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:16,920 Speaker 1: he was talking about who else was coming to the 64 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,840 Speaker 1: show and then they started really getting active on defense. 65 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:23,600 Speaker 1: Spencer Dinwoodie had a terrible you know, we're gonna call 66 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:25,840 Speaker 1: it what it is, a terrible series, but stepped up 67 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 1: big and had hit four or five threes, had twenty 68 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:30,880 Speaker 1: one in the first half of it. I think he 69 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 1: ended up with thirty if I'm not mistaken. And Eric 70 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:37,200 Speaker 1: in my ear told me they're only the third duo 71 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 1: in Game seven history to both drop thirty. The other 72 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 1: two duels are Kobe and Shock and Cale and Bird. 73 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 1: So that's great company. I knew it had to be 74 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 1: some with some type of Boston Celtics something in the Yeah, 75 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 1: that's why, that's why he gave it to us. Yeah, 76 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:55,880 Speaker 1: he probably wouldn't even said that if it was like 77 00:03:56,080 --> 00:04:01,839 Speaker 1: m J and Pippen. And when Book in CP only 78 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,800 Speaker 1: had twenty one points combined in game seven, talk to 79 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,200 Speaker 1: me just about this. I mean CPS game that's my guy. 80 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 1: But this Game seven record, now he's owing seven in 81 00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:14,200 Speaker 1: his last seven Game seven's uh, talk to me about 82 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:16,599 Speaker 1: him and Book just not stepping up and just does 83 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 1: this damage CPS legacy. I wouldn't say damage. His legacy 84 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,680 Speaker 1: has done so much for the game of basketball. Has 85 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,640 Speaker 1: done so many great things, but he's not a champion. 86 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 1: I mean, that's all you can really say. You know, 87 00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 1: he's not a champion yet. Um. I think for him 88 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 1: and Booker, Booker needs another star, younger star, to take 89 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 1: some of that load off, because you know, you gotta, 90 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:43,400 Speaker 1: you gotta think Booker game is really um depending on 91 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 1: his jumper. He don't really get to the basket like that. 92 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 1: He don't really post up, he don't really make plays 93 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,200 Speaker 1: with people like that, especially when CP on the court. 94 00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:53,040 Speaker 1: So I just think it was just too much pressure 95 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:54,920 Speaker 1: on him. He carried the team a lot this year, 96 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:56,880 Speaker 1: and the moment, the moment was too big with some 97 00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,479 Speaker 1: of those role player guys. I honestly think that, you 98 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:01,360 Speaker 1: know what, there, the moment was too big, and I 99 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 1: think for eight and to be able to be guarded 100 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 1: by those small guys and stuff like that, that probably 101 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:09,599 Speaker 1: drove Money crazy. You know what I'm saying. You that 102 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:11,599 Speaker 1: big and you let these guys I'll rebound, you push 103 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,039 Speaker 1: you out to paint and stuff like that, that can't happen. 104 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 1: And I think if he was if he would have 105 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 1: played big in the series, the outcome might have been different. 106 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:19,599 Speaker 1: I thought he would have a big serious To be 107 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:21,320 Speaker 1: honest with you, Jack, for everything you said, I mean 108 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:23,640 Speaker 1: he's big. He had a great season. I expected him 109 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,400 Speaker 1: to somewhat. I mean, he's not like a dominant type dude, 110 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,920 Speaker 1: but I expected him to kind of have his way 111 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:32,240 Speaker 1: down there, um and he didn't. MAVs will face the 112 00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:35,040 Speaker 1: Warriors in the Western Conference Finals. Last time these two 113 00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,359 Speaker 1: teams met in the playoffs, you were in your bag 114 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:39,800 Speaker 1: two thousand seven. We believe team Uh. They were the 115 00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:42,680 Speaker 1: number one seed. We were the number eight seed. First 116 00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:44,720 Speaker 1: number eight seed to knock a number one seed off 117 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 1: in a seven game series format in the NBA history. 118 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:51,080 Speaker 1: What are some of the storylines in this uh, this matchup, Jack, 119 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:56,599 Speaker 1: Luca and Steph. I don't think Dallas has enough to 120 00:05:56,760 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 1: keep up with Golden State of scoring wise, but I 121 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 1: know for a fact that Jamond can't guard Luca, so 122 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:08,119 Speaker 1: he's gonna have to guard somebody else, and I'm pretty 123 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,440 Speaker 1: sure they might. I don't know. Lucas gonna win a 124 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:12,640 Speaker 1: lot of games by himself. Man, He's one of those 125 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 1: guys that have been playing crazy in the playoffs, and 126 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:16,400 Speaker 1: I don't think it's gonna stop. I think you're gonna 127 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:18,039 Speaker 1: have some big games in this series. But I just 128 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,960 Speaker 1: think that the experience and and go to States the 129 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,880 Speaker 1: deeper team, and I don't think UM Dallas will be 130 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:25,440 Speaker 1: able to keep up with the scoring. But it's gonna 131 00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:27,280 Speaker 1: be a great series, bro, we gotta get to one 132 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:30,040 Speaker 1: of those games. Definitely. I mean, Lucas incredible. I mean, 133 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:31,599 Speaker 1: if you think about what he's done, this kind of 134 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:35,920 Speaker 1: reminds me of UM when AI pulled that seventy sixers 135 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 1: team to the finals against the Lakers and still game one. 136 00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 1: And and I say this will all due respect to 137 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:42,240 Speaker 1: the to the rest of the guys on both teams, 138 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:46,200 Speaker 1: there's just no one with you know, the accolades on 139 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,400 Speaker 1: Lucas team or or or you know, just the resume 140 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:51,720 Speaker 1: that you see the rest of these remaining teams that 141 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:54,600 Speaker 1: Luca is the only all Star on the team. No 142 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,000 Speaker 1: one else has any other type of accolades. And when 143 00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:58,560 Speaker 1: he's been able to do with those guys, you know, 144 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:00,440 Speaker 1: I say that thought to respect because you know, Brunson 145 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:02,360 Speaker 1: stepped up. Brunson is about to get paid this summer, 146 00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:04,239 Speaker 1: but these other guys just stepped up for the moment. 147 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 1: And again I take my hat off the j Ki 148 00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:08,560 Speaker 1: because I think he had a lot to do. You 149 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:10,240 Speaker 1: could tell he was jumping up and down on the 150 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:12,760 Speaker 1: sidelines during the game like he was very into this, 151 00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 1: and I think his players fed off that. Now. I 152 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,880 Speaker 1: think this Warrior series series is gonna be a great series, um, 153 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,160 Speaker 1: and I agree. I think the Warriors experience in depth 154 00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:23,680 Speaker 1: is going to help them out. But it's gonna be 155 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:25,880 Speaker 1: a shootout ship. I can see it go six or 156 00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 1: seven games and I'm gonna have to pick which number 157 00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:31,640 Speaker 1: uh later in the series. But I don't think there's 158 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:33,440 Speaker 1: anyone in the world that can guard Luca. You're gonna 159 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:37,120 Speaker 1: have to run different schemes and and give him different looks. Um. 160 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:39,360 Speaker 1: But he's a bad motherfucker man. To think this dude 161 00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 1: is only twenty three, he's really just scratching the surface 162 00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:43,960 Speaker 1: when it comes to the NBA game, But he's been 163 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,440 Speaker 1: a pro for a long time. So it's gonna be 164 00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:49,480 Speaker 1: scary ears. But I still have the Warriors um edging 165 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:51,520 Speaker 1: Dallas out. But it's been a great I want to 166 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:53,760 Speaker 1: ask you something, Jack, because I I gotta do ESPN 167 00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 1: in a little bit, and they sent me a question 168 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,160 Speaker 1: that says, out of these four players ranked them in 169 00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:03,560 Speaker 1: order they're left in the playoffs, Steph Tatum, Luca, Jimmy Butler, 170 00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:06,560 Speaker 1: give me one through four. How you feel those players are. 171 00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:12,520 Speaker 1: I'm going to Luca, Steff Tatum, Jimmy Butler. That's exactly 172 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:15,440 Speaker 1: how I listed it too. That's funny you said that. Yeah, 173 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:17,720 Speaker 1: I mean, I gotta and that's hard to say. I mean, 174 00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:19,920 Speaker 1: Steph is a motherfucker man. With you. We you know 175 00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:21,920 Speaker 1: how much we love step But I feel like Luca 176 00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:24,280 Speaker 1: right now out of that group. And that's saying alackas 177 00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:27,000 Speaker 1: Tatum as a monster too. Jimmy Butler is a two 178 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:31,680 Speaker 1: way monster. But I don't think I mean Luca right 179 00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:33,520 Speaker 1: and he and that's kind of been the knock on 180 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:35,120 Speaker 1: him is he hasn't been able to knock that get 181 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:37,280 Speaker 1: through that first round. So to me, it's hard to 182 00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:41,000 Speaker 1: say Luca talent wise, where would you put where? Where 183 00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:43,719 Speaker 1: would you put him? I mean, again, I don't want 184 00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,080 Speaker 1: to overhype it. It's one player from but Luca has 185 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:47,839 Speaker 1: been Luca and I feel like he's only going to 186 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,800 Speaker 1: get better. He's in the conversation with Janice and k 187 00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:54,800 Speaker 1: D and b wherever you Yeah, that's what I'm saying. 188 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:56,640 Speaker 1: Whoever you have is your top five player in the league. 189 00:08:56,720 --> 00:09:07,640 Speaker 1: Lucas got to be in it, no question. Now moving 190 00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:12,000 Speaker 1: on to the East, my prediction came true Celtics in seven. 191 00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:17,520 Speaker 1: They were able to move past Milwaukee Janice great fucking series. 192 00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 1: But I think at the beginning I said that this 193 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:22,960 Speaker 1: was just gonna be too hard to do without Middleton. 194 00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:27,960 Speaker 1: Middleton is not flashy, he's not loud. He just goes 195 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:30,880 Speaker 1: out and does me. He's like a twenty point six rebound, 196 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,760 Speaker 1: five assist guy. And normally down the stretch of all 197 00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:38,120 Speaker 1: the games, it's Middleton and Janice running their picking rolls, 198 00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,760 Speaker 1: and Janice is a dynamic roller and then Middleton get 199 00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:43,520 Speaker 1: that mid range bag and knocked down three. So I 200 00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:46,199 Speaker 1: think this was tough to overcome. Talk to me about 201 00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:49,120 Speaker 1: this series, Jack, and and what stood out to you 202 00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:51,600 Speaker 1: the most, Well, what stood out to me the most 203 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:53,280 Speaker 1: On a lot of people talking about, Yeah, they have 204 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,600 Speaker 1: Middleton and that was a big miss. But you can't 205 00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:58,400 Speaker 1: go into the these games in the playoffs with this 206 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:01,800 Speaker 1: team without having Middleton, and I'm not having p J. Tucker. 207 00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:04,079 Speaker 1: That was two big parts of their team, you know 208 00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:05,880 Speaker 1: what I mean. Not now they're putting it so much 209 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:08,679 Speaker 1: pressure on Janice and try to put Bobby Porter's in 210 00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,520 Speaker 1: a Pja Tucker position. That's not that, that is he's 211 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:14,000 Speaker 1: not Bill for They thought Grayson Allen was gonna be 212 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:15,280 Speaker 1: that because he was he was he was, he was 213 00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:17,840 Speaker 1: having he was having a little success during the season, 214 00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:19,960 Speaker 1: but he stunk it up during the playoffs. He was 215 00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:22,760 Speaker 1: terrible and and he didn't show up. So it was 216 00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,040 Speaker 1: just too much pressure on Greek freak man. He still 217 00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:27,560 Speaker 1: played well, didn't shoot well in the last game, but 218 00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:30,000 Speaker 1: he still was dominant series. But like you said, just 219 00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:33,560 Speaker 1: the combination of Brown and Tatum playing well together, that 220 00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:35,679 Speaker 1: whole team with the best defense in the league. They 221 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:37,760 Speaker 1: they physical. It was just gonna be hard for them 222 00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:39,880 Speaker 1: to do without Milton. Like you said, though, shout out 223 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:43,319 Speaker 1: Grant Williams. He had a big series UH in Game seven, 224 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:47,680 Speaker 1: scoring UH seven threes, most in Game seven history. But 225 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:49,960 Speaker 1: he played great defensive or as good as defensive. You 226 00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:52,120 Speaker 1: can't play on Yannie Yannice is you know, to me 227 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:54,640 Speaker 1: him and Luca, you throw a couple of other guys, 228 00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:57,800 Speaker 1: probably the most unstoppable players UM in the league, and 229 00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:00,520 Speaker 1: Grant made him work come fourth quarter. Luka looked like 230 00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:02,440 Speaker 1: he was eating powder donuts. How he used to look 231 00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:05,520 Speaker 1: when he came into practice. Luca was tired a ship. 232 00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:07,120 Speaker 1: He had that white ship in the corner of his 233 00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:08,680 Speaker 1: mouth and you see it on TV and you'd be 234 00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:11,520 Speaker 1: wiping your ship like, oh, you got the powder donuts. 235 00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:15,840 Speaker 1: But Luca played his ass off. Man. Luca did everything 236 00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:18,000 Speaker 1: he excuse me not Luka, you honest that everything he 237 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:19,920 Speaker 1: absolutely could do on both ends of the floor. He 238 00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:24,520 Speaker 1: was just a gas. So moving on to the conference finals, 239 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,400 Speaker 1: we got the Heat, the number one seed, who I 240 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:29,720 Speaker 1: kind of feel how it has been overlooked all season 241 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,640 Speaker 1: and now they're in the Eastern Conference Finals and a tough, 242 00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:36,120 Speaker 1: young Boston team. What are some of the matchups that 243 00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:38,160 Speaker 1: you feel like you're gonna stand out? Jack Well One, 244 00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,880 Speaker 1: Lowry has to be Lowry needs to play. We don't 245 00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:42,120 Speaker 1: know if he's gonna be back, and then I think 246 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:45,800 Speaker 1: that's gonna be a big factor in this series. His experience, 247 00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:48,600 Speaker 1: him Jimmy being able to play off the ball, and 248 00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,040 Speaker 1: the way Larry's know how to make plays in these 249 00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:53,320 Speaker 1: big games. I think he'll be big to have on 250 00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:55,040 Speaker 1: the court. But Boston, man, I just think you know, 251 00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:56,960 Speaker 1: they're kind of rolling right now. They was able to 252 00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,480 Speaker 1: give Williams some rest, he might come back and play 253 00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:03,760 Speaker 1: the rest in the East Converence Final. So I hate 254 00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:05,720 Speaker 1: to go against Jimmy and them because I know they're 255 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:08,240 Speaker 1: gonna be just as physical as Boston. But I think 256 00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:11,000 Speaker 1: Boston is just on another level this year, and I 257 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,439 Speaker 1: think it's their time. They These guys had experience of 258 00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:16,600 Speaker 1: big losses in the playoffs to Braun and As when 259 00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:19,120 Speaker 1: they were young, and I just think just it's just 260 00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:21,480 Speaker 1: their time right now. Jason Tatum is on another level. 261 00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 1: Robert Williams, I hated to even see him playing in 262 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:25,440 Speaker 1: the first round, to be honest with you, Jack, because 263 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 1: he had that meniscus injury. And although meniscus is the 264 00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:32,000 Speaker 1: least of the serious severities as far as tearing ligaments 265 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:36,160 Speaker 1: in your knee, uh, it's still a surgery. That it's surgery. 266 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:37,959 Speaker 1: And this dude was back and I don't want to 267 00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:39,920 Speaker 1: put dates on it because I'm not, but he was 268 00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:41,960 Speaker 1: back really fast. And I know I had a very 269 00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,440 Speaker 1: similar surgery when I was with the Lakers, and it 270 00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:46,400 Speaker 1: took me like almost seven weeks to come back. But 271 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:48,480 Speaker 1: then even when I was back with the swelling was 272 00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:51,839 Speaker 1: out of control. It hurt like a motherfucker. I really 273 00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,560 Speaker 1: couldn't do nothing. So I was really surprised to see 274 00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,000 Speaker 1: him out there Game one. I'm glad that he's sitting 275 00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:58,959 Speaker 1: down on to me. I just hope he gets all 276 00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:00,840 Speaker 1: the way healthy. Funck come and back right now, because 277 00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:02,760 Speaker 1: I feel like he has a really bright future and 278 00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:04,160 Speaker 1: you just don't want to do that kind you know, 279 00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,360 Speaker 1: reminds of remember when Brandon Roy did that ship. Brandon 280 00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:08,320 Speaker 1: Roy came back and like what two weeks off a 281 00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:10,679 Speaker 1: knee surgery or off a scope or something. I'm just like, man, 282 00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,880 Speaker 1: don't let don't get hyped into doing that kind of ship. Man, 283 00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:15,600 Speaker 1: You've got a long career. But to the guh to 284 00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:19,280 Speaker 1: this matchup, yeah, Miami is you know, they remind me 285 00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:22,800 Speaker 1: of just just a well oiled machina san Antonio. You know, 286 00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:24,640 Speaker 1: Spoiser done it has done a great job of just 287 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:28,120 Speaker 1: being able to plug and play, uh, making up for injuries. 288 00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:30,760 Speaker 1: You know, Lowry hasn't been playing. I think he playing 289 00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:33,440 Speaker 1: very well, but I agree with his experience and his 290 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 1: ability to let guys play off the ball. But his 291 00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:38,480 Speaker 1: numbers are like six, five and four. If I'm not 292 00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:40,679 Speaker 1: mistaken so that his numbers haven't been overwhelming, but I 293 00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:43,680 Speaker 1: think his experience alone, his veteran leadership, his ability to 294 00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,800 Speaker 1: play big and big games. Uh, Miami is gonna need that. 295 00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,760 Speaker 1: Butler's been playing incredible. I haven't seen Jimmy Butler play 296 00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:52,120 Speaker 1: this good maybe since the bubble. His Dude's been doing 297 00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:55,760 Speaker 1: absolutely everything for this team, holding them afloat. Uh, you know, 298 00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:59,320 Speaker 1: BAM's gonna be Bam. It'll be interesting to see. Boston's 299 00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:01,960 Speaker 1: defensive is tough and and what I love about it. 300 00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:05,800 Speaker 1: Obviously Marcus Smart defensive Player of the Year, but Tatum 301 00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:08,320 Speaker 1: and Brown really get after it on defense. These dudes 302 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:10,800 Speaker 1: are fighting over screens. They don't lay on screens, they 303 00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:13,280 Speaker 1: don't call out switches. These motherfucker's are working on both 304 00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:16,080 Speaker 1: fans and those of your most most talented offensive players. 305 00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:18,720 Speaker 1: So I really appreciate and respect that. But I agree 306 00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:20,880 Speaker 1: with you, man, It's to me, it's about who's hottest 307 00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:22,840 Speaker 1: at the right time, who's playing well. Both these teams 308 00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:26,760 Speaker 1: are playing well, but I'm gonna take Boston um, just 309 00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:29,400 Speaker 1: because I just really believe in Tatum. I really believe 310 00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:31,240 Speaker 1: in Tatum. I think you know, he's the future of 311 00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:33,400 Speaker 1: this one of the faces of this league in the future, 312 00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:36,080 Speaker 1: and announced this time to show it. Next up on 313 00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:39,800 Speaker 1: the Radar, presented you by Draft Kings, Uh Jack. They 314 00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:41,520 Speaker 1: want us to try to predict the winner of the 315 00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:44,400 Speaker 1: series and how many games, and we're gonna give the 316 00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:48,200 Speaker 1: fans the odds. First. First, we're gonna take the Warriors 317 00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:50,440 Speaker 1: over here. So the Warriors to win in seven games 318 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:52,720 Speaker 1: would be a plus three hundred. For them to win 319 00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:55,760 Speaker 1: in six games, plus four fifty for them to win 320 00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:59,280 Speaker 1: in five games, plus three thirty for them to win 321 00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:02,720 Speaker 1: in four games games plus six fifty. For the Mavericks 322 00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:06,000 Speaker 1: to get it in seven is plus seven fifty. For 323 00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:09,400 Speaker 1: them to win in six games plus five fifty for 324 00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:13,520 Speaker 1: the Mavericks to get it in five is plus sixteen hundred. 325 00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:17,840 Speaker 1: And for the Mavericks to make the biggest upset in 326 00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:21,240 Speaker 1: history and sweep the Warriors in four, it would be 327 00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:25,840 Speaker 1: a plus hundred. Jack, tell me who you got in 328 00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:30,680 Speaker 1: this series and in how many games? Well, I would 329 00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:33,600 Speaker 1: say it matters how they how they fared in regular season, 330 00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:36,880 Speaker 1: because when we played we played against Dallas in regular season, 331 00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:39,240 Speaker 1: we beat them every time. And that's why we were 332 00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:42,800 Speaker 1: so confident playing them in the playoffs, but the Warriors 333 00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:45,080 Speaker 1: didn't have the three headed Monston, none of none of 334 00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:47,240 Speaker 1: the big three was playing around the town. They weren't together. 335 00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:49,360 Speaker 1: So I'm still going with the Wars. I think I'll 336 00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:52,720 Speaker 1: go with the Warriors in six manus you know what, 337 00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:56,600 Speaker 1: I'm to mind that a ball as That's what I 338 00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:59,040 Speaker 1: wanted to do too, But I don't want to take 339 00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:01,120 Speaker 1: the same bet as you. So I'm gonna go Warriors 340 00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:05,760 Speaker 1: in seven and plus three hundred. I think it's gonna 341 00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:08,280 Speaker 1: be a good series. Warriors gotta play a lot better man. 342 00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:10,280 Speaker 1: They can't turn the ball over the way they were doing, 343 00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:13,160 Speaker 1: uh because Lucas gonna make him pay. Jordan Pool is 344 00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:16,280 Speaker 1: gonna be big any series. Jordan Pool, who you ask 345 00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:17,840 Speaker 1: a good question? Who you think is gonna be Who's 346 00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:19,640 Speaker 1: gonna be the X factor for both teams? So you've 347 00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:21,400 Speaker 1: got Jordan Pool for the Warriors. Who do you think 348 00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:27,920 Speaker 1: the X factor for uh Dallas is Bronson? Bronson got 349 00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:31,600 Speaker 1: a score? Well, yeah, they've been He played Bronson and 350 00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:35,200 Speaker 1: then with a lot together and uh also played uh 351 00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:38,160 Speaker 1: Din with and Bronson with Luca off the ball against 352 00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:41,400 Speaker 1: the Sun. So that'll be good to see next up 353 00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:44,640 Speaker 1: Celtics and the heat. For the Celtics to win it 354 00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:47,920 Speaker 1: in seven plus five hundred, for the Celtics to win 355 00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:51,360 Speaker 1: it in six is plus two eighty. For the Celtics 356 00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:54,720 Speaker 1: to win it in five is plus six hundred, and 357 00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:59,200 Speaker 1: for the Celtics to sweep plus nine hundred. Let's go 358 00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:01,400 Speaker 1: over to Miami. For Miami to win it in seven 359 00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:04,720 Speaker 1: is plus three fifty. From Miami to win it in 360 00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:08,439 Speaker 1: six is plus seven fifty. From Miami to win it 361 00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:12,080 Speaker 1: in five is plus eight fifty. And from Miami to 362 00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:18,200 Speaker 1: Sweet these motherfucker's which ain't gonna happen is plus eighteen hundred. Jack, 363 00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:21,560 Speaker 1: who you got in the series? How many games? And 364 00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:24,720 Speaker 1: give me the X factor for both teams? Okay, Celtics 365 00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:26,600 Speaker 1: beat them twice this year out of three games in 366 00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:31,840 Speaker 1: the regular season. I'm going to go Celtics in six 367 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:36,080 Speaker 1: plus two eighty. You keep taking that that that's safe six. 368 00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:37,960 Speaker 1: That's where I was going again into So I'm gonna 369 00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:43,520 Speaker 1: takes Stop asking me first, Yeah, your floor. I'm gonna 370 00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:48,119 Speaker 1: take Celtics in seven at plus five hundred. X factor 371 00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:50,840 Speaker 1: for both teams, start with Miami. X factor for me 372 00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:54,080 Speaker 1: is Jaylen Brown. We know Tatum, gonna bring it. We 373 00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:56,240 Speaker 1: know you're gonna play well when they get to thirty 374 00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:59,840 Speaker 1: and thirty and thirty like nights like that they had 375 00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:03,399 Speaker 1: to beat Miami. Um, it's gonna all bar down to 376 00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:06,080 Speaker 1: Jimmy Butler man point point blank. He he has to 377 00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:07,680 Speaker 1: play on both ends of the ball. But I think 378 00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:11,119 Speaker 1: this this series, he has a concentrate on scoring just 379 00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:13,119 Speaker 1: as well as defense. A lot of times you put 380 00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:15,679 Speaker 1: more focused on defense and try to make plays and 381 00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:18,280 Speaker 1: the other guys score. But this but this series, these 382 00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:20,800 Speaker 1: conference finals, he got to be that that that guy 383 00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:22,840 Speaker 1: on both ends of the floor. So I'm gonna go 384 00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:26,720 Speaker 1: with Jimmy Butler and Jaylen Brown. Yeah, Jimmy's got a 385 00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:28,720 Speaker 1: hydrate because he was killing last round. I want to 386 00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:31,399 Speaker 1: say he averaged like he led the second round in scoring, 387 00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:34,360 Speaker 1: if I'm not mistaken, Brown somewhere around thirty two points 388 00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:37,000 Speaker 1: a game. So he was definitely putting numbers up on 389 00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:39,320 Speaker 1: the offensive end this next round. So they're gonna need 390 00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:43,359 Speaker 1: exactly the same in this Conference finals to advance to 391 00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:46,800 Speaker 1: the finals. Closing thoughts, Jack, I heard something. I hope 392 00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:49,680 Speaker 1: it's just the rumor. Andre An He played seventeen minutes 393 00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:53,320 Speaker 1: last night, no minutes in the fourth quarter when they 394 00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:55,160 Speaker 1: talked to coach Money Williams. They said it was an 395 00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:59,479 Speaker 1: internal issue. Jack. I heard that Money asked him if 396 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:02,840 Speaker 1: he wanted to and he said no, and Monty sat 397 00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:05,560 Speaker 1: him the rest of the game. So I can't confirm 398 00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:07,240 Speaker 1: if that's a fact or not. I'm just putting it 399 00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:08,960 Speaker 1: out there. Almost feel bad putting it out there because 400 00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:12,320 Speaker 1: it sounds absolutely crazy. I hope it's not the case, 401 00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:14,440 Speaker 1: but you never know. What do you think what is 402 00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:17,719 Speaker 1: up next? For eight? And they didn't max him last year? Uh, 403 00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:19,960 Speaker 1: They're gonna throw him an offer this year. He probably 404 00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:22,959 Speaker 1: won't be happy with. You don't play in Game seven. 405 00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:25,760 Speaker 1: You don't dominate in this series like they needed you 406 00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:27,960 Speaker 1: to dominate. I want to hear your take on this. 407 00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:33,400 Speaker 1: This should be good. Well, big fella, your time has 408 00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:37,119 Speaker 1: ran out in paintings. Bro. Uh, if they wanted to 409 00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:39,520 Speaker 1: pay you, they would have been paid you. In fact, 410 00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:42,160 Speaker 1: that's first and foremost, the first and foremost they would 411 00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:46,480 Speaker 1: have been paid you. Second, me, madd and probably your 412 00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:49,680 Speaker 1: whole team just knew this would be the series where 413 00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:53,320 Speaker 1: you will be dominant. Dallas don't have nobody that's athletic 414 00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:55,320 Speaker 1: like you, that that as strong as you, that has 415 00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:57,680 Speaker 1: great that I can even stop you on that end. 416 00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:00,800 Speaker 1: And for him to not domin in this series, for 417 00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:03,480 Speaker 1: Phoenis to have a great season, to win what sixt 418 00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:05,919 Speaker 1: or four games and and and not make it to 419 00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:08,480 Speaker 1: the Western Conference finals, I mean that that's a let down. 420 00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:11,479 Speaker 1: But he did not step up. And for him, if 421 00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:12,920 Speaker 1: he said that he did not want to go on 422 00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:15,680 Speaker 1: the game in the game seven, that's not a good 423 00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:17,280 Speaker 1: look at it. I mean, I don't know if any 424 00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:19,840 Speaker 1: team will want to deal with that right at this point. 425 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:22,160 Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying you, this is the big game, 426 00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:24,080 Speaker 1: Game seven, and you say you don't want to go in. 427 00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:27,520 Speaker 1: That's a that's worse than a bad look. Man. That 428 00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:30,160 Speaker 1: that's that's words thin getting kicked out the game seven. Yeah, 429 00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:34,920 Speaker 1: that's a that's tough. And again I hope that's just rumor, um, 430 00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:37,400 Speaker 1: And if it is, I apologize for even bringing it up. 431 00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:40,960 Speaker 1: But that's I've heard that from two different people, So um, 432 00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:43,560 Speaker 1: we'll see if that's the case. And I agree with you. 433 00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:44,919 Speaker 1: If they wanted, if they were going to match you, 434 00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:46,880 Speaker 1: they would have maxed you. I don't I think they 435 00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:48,520 Speaker 1: still want him back, but it's not gonna be in 436 00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:51,080 Speaker 1: for a max number. And you know, to be honest 437 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:52,919 Speaker 1: with you, with all due respect, again, it's you know, 438 00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:56,360 Speaker 1: he's not putting on max numbers. He's solid, very solid, 439 00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:00,479 Speaker 1: very talented, young big But yeah, it kind of just 440 00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:02,080 Speaker 1: is what is I mean? You pretty much said it all, 441 00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:06,239 Speaker 1: So we'll see what happens. I just found a trade form. 442 00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:10,919 Speaker 1: Who are you trading? Trading him with Julius Random, Julius 443 00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:14,479 Speaker 1: Rando for him. At least Rand's gonna getze something. He's 444 00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:17,160 Speaker 1: gonna play hard, you know what I mean. And then 445 00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:19,800 Speaker 1: Donovan Mitchell is probably gonna go to New York too, 446 00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:24,359 Speaker 1: So Donovan Mitchell and Aidan New York will be nice. 447 00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:31,000 Speaker 1: And and the young boy who do you do well? 448 00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:34,480 Speaker 1: See hey man.

It comes with playing professional women's basketball. 476 00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:02,280 Speaker 1: Just supplement and um, that's the hardest thing to think 477 00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:04,440 Speaker 1: about is that she feels like she has to still 478 00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:06,680 Speaker 1: be over here.
