1
00:00:01,280 --> 00:00:21,599
Speaker 1: The volume. This is straight Fire with Jason McIntyre. What

2
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:26,680
Speaker 1: is up? Straight firefam, It's me Jason McIntyre, Straight Fire

3
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:32,199
Speaker 1: for Tuesday, May ninth. And I don't want to start

4
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:35,160
Speaker 1: in a down mood because I think we just saw

5
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:37,760
Speaker 1: the best game of the playoffs. I mean, we're recording

6
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:40,280
Speaker 1: this just after Lakers Warriors ended. If you're on the

7
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:43,479
Speaker 1: East Coast and you stayed up till what twelve forty

8
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 1: five am, congrats to you. Just call in a little

9
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 1: show up late for work. Does anybody work nine to

10
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:50,159
Speaker 1: five anymore? Is that anything? The thing you could just

11
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 1: tell your boss whoever you report to. I had to

12
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 1: watch Curry Lebron. This is historic stuff and for oh

13
00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 1: Man for the first time. The Warriors are down three

14
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 1: one to Lebron and the Lakers after an epic game,

15
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 1: not by Anthony Davis, who had good numbers. Anthony Davis

16
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 1: was solid twenty three six of twenty three and fifteen

17
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,960
Speaker 1: was a ghost in the fourth quarter. Not an epic

18
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,679
Speaker 1: game by Lebron James twenty seven points on twenty five shots.

19
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 1: Not an epic game by Steph Curry thirty one point

20
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 1: triple double, but he only shot twelve to thirty. But

21
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen, it was an epic game by straight

22
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 1: fire fan favorite Lonnie Walker in a performance and I

23
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:39,199
Speaker 1: was talking with the producers before this. Yes, multiple guys,

24
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 1: I'm on a bunch of text chains about the Lakers,

25
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 1: like tonight was just one of those, Like you're just

26
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 1: texting people as you're watching the game. I can't recall

27
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 1: a performance like this where a guy who barely played

28
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 1: in the last series against Memphis, and I had to

29
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 1: look this up. Lonnie Walker in the Memphis series scored

30
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 1: zero points until the blowout in Game six when the

31
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 1: Lakers won by forty. That's when he scored. In the

32
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:09,079
Speaker 1: Memphis series. He barely played earlier in the series. Lonnie

33
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 1: Walker was a total non factor in Game one, did

34
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 1: not even get that on the court. In Game two,

35
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 1: he plays garbage time. In Game three, Lonnie Walker has

36
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 1: a good game, and I was like, my guy, Lennie Walker,

37
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 1: I'm happy for him. Lakers got him in the trade

38
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 1: from the Spurs. And folks, if you somehow went to

39
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 1: bed early, fell asleep, you had a date, you had

40
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,080
Speaker 1: an anniversary thing, you know, I listen, I get it.

41
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 1: I've been there. You know my wife's not here right

42
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 1: now as I record this. She's upstairs. But I know

43
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:38,919
Speaker 1: what you guys have been through. But when you watch

44
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 1: the highlights, you're not gonna believe Lonnie Walker going toe

45
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 1: to toe in the fourth quarter with Steph Curry, the

46
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 1: greatest shooter on the planet. Steph Curry is doing heroic things.

47
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 1: He had a four point play in the fourth. He

48
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 1: had ten points in the fourth. I don't want to

49
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 1: hear people say, well, Steph Curry was out of gas.

50
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 1: This is what happens when you play in so many

51
00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: minutes and you have him run the offense. No, no, no,

52
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:04,079
Speaker 1: no no. The Warriors played a great, great game. They

53
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 1: should have won this game. It should be two two

54
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 1: going back to the Bay. I for one, do not

55
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 1: think this series is over. I'll get to that shortly.

56
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 1: But what we saw from Lonnie Walker was a guy

57
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 1: who came off the bench when Ad had nothing. AD

58
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 1: took four shots in the second half. He was gassed Lebron.

59
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 1: His only offense was let me try to hunt Steph Curry.

60
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 1: And it worked a little bit. Lebron eate get to

61
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:30,079
Speaker 1: the five three throw line, five and five for the line.

62
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 1: Two big free throw shots late but Lebron couldn't make anything.

63
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 1: It was Lonnie Walker who bailed out the Lakers. And

64
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 1: in Game three, I thought Dianzela Russell's twenty one points

65
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 1: the hot nine points in the first quarter start the game.

66
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 1: Dianzel Russell got him going Austin Reeves here in the

67
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 1: third quarter kept the Lakers in it because the Warriors

68
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 1: open it up to I think twelve. Curry, the Mitt

69
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 1: and Gary Payton, Andrew Wiggins was okay, but mostly was

70
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 1: Curry really carrying this team even though he didn't really

71
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 1: show up, uh for the very end of the game.

72
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 1: Curry was excellent in the third the passing, He had

73
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 1: fourteen assists, ten boards. Curry was everywhere. Dante DiVincenzo I

74
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 1: told you on the hurd he was gonna have a game.

75
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 1: He had ten points to fifteen minutes. By the way, guy,

76
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 1: we're not going to talk about Jordan Poole Ozer for

77
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,840
Speaker 1: four ten minutes. I think he played two minutes in

78
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 1: the second half, maybe so all of a sudden, like

79
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 1: everybody's fatigue. You look at the shooting percentages. Klay Thompson

80
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,920
Speaker 1: was a disaster. We'll get to that, but essentially, Lonnie

81
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,480
Speaker 1: Walker stepped up to the table said, I'm fresh as

82
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,479
Speaker 1: a daisy, I'm a young dude, I'm out here, I'm

83
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:41,719
Speaker 1: Lonnie Walker. I'm twenty four. Y'all got me from the Spurs,

84
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:45,719
Speaker 1: and j Max said months ago on straight fire, Lonnie

85
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:47,280
Speaker 1: Walker's the third best player in the Lakers. That was

86
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 1: in the Russell Westbrook days. Then ruiy Haji Mora came over,

87
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 1: Shrewders got healthy, Austin Reeves kind of blew up, and

88
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:57,600
Speaker 1: it was like, you know, Danzel Russell's there. It's like

89
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 1: Lonnie Walker's playing time diminished, and all of a sudden,

90
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 1: Troy Brown was playing a lot, and I'm like, what

91
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 1: the hell's Troy brand going out there? This guy Jack

92
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,919
Speaker 1: he misses every big shot he takes, overrated, He seems

93
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 1: like he's hot potatoing the ball. Sometimes, listen, if you've

94
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:11,159
Speaker 1: played in like a high level basketball game, not that

95
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 1: I've played in high level games, but when you're on

96
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 1: the court with big time players who are super better

97
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,599
Speaker 1: than you, you get a little nervous. I feel like

98
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 1: Troy Brown is super nervous with the ball. Lonnie Walker

99
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 1: under control, cooking up Chef Curry, and in the fourth

100
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 1: quarter he goes off. Lonnie Walker had just an unbelievable

101
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 1: fourth quarter. The man scored just to get to eat

102
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:38,919
Speaker 1: exact numbers, six of nine, fifteen points in the fourth quarter.

103
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 1: The Golden State Warriors scored seventeen in the fourth quarter,

104
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:47,359
Speaker 1: and that was the game. The Lakers should have lost

105
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 1: this game, and Lonnie Walker bailed out Lebron and Ad.

106
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 1: It's fine, Danzela Russell listened, water finds its level, Danzela

107
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 1: Russell one of ten. Basically, they were like, sorry, Danzelo,

108
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:01,160
Speaker 1: Lottie's cooking, You're gonna have to take a seat. And

109
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 1: I don't know that Russell played in the fourth I'm

110
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 1: fairly certain Linney Walker just stayed on the court. It

111
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 1: was Walker Shrewder. And this is a great stat I saw.

112
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 1: I don't remember who put it out there. Walker, Lebron

113
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 1: and Ad, Austin Reeves and Dennis Schreuder. Are you ready

114
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:21,480
Speaker 1: for this? They played a total of thirty nine possessions

115
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 1: this season. Thirty nine. It's insane. That's like a half

116
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:29,919
Speaker 1: of basketball the entire season together. And they closed for

117
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 1: the Lakers and won the game and put the defending

118
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 1: champion Warriors on the brink. Now the reason I do

119
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 1: not believe this is over is because of what you

120
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,600
Speaker 1: saw from Lebron and Ad in the fourth quarter. They

121
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:45,920
Speaker 1: were out of it. They had nothing left. And in

122
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 1: a rare moment of candor from Lebron, I'm talking extreme candor.

123
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:51,719
Speaker 1: In the interview with Chris Haynes after the game on

124
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 1: the court, Lebron, you know, he's getting the questions and

125
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 1: he's like kind of side to side, just gassed. You

126
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,720
Speaker 1: could just tell his answers are short. They're not Lebron

127
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 1: like next He's like, it's a coherent, smart individual, think

128
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 1: a next level. He was exhausted and he ends up

129
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 1: cutting the interview short and says, hold on, I wrote

130
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 1: the exact words down here. Let me just get it

131
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 1: for you. He cuts the interview short, saying I gotta

132
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 1: get the hell out of it. I'm tired as hell man,

133
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 1: get the hell out of here. Like no, sorry, tired

134
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 1: as hell man, get out of my face. Now. He's

135
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 1: laughing when he says this, But this was real. Lebron

136
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 1: was gassed. His only offense was trying to go at

137
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 1: Steph Curry and the fourth Then I get it, he's

138
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 1: out of thin guy's thirty eight years old Lebron forty

139
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 1: three minutes, AD forty three minutes. Now here's where it

140
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 1: gets interesting and why I don't think the series is over.

141
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 1: I am of the belief the Warriors will go home.

142
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:45,679
Speaker 1: The role players. Andrew Wiggins did not play well, guys.

143
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 1: He had some open looks, two open looks for three

144
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 1: because AD was guarding Wiggins, and AD needed to stay

145
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 1: in the paint because the Warriors were running a layup line.

146
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 1: In the first half, it was all layups, and I

147
00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 1: mean Warriors pointed the paint I think was up. They

148
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 1: were up ten at that half in points of the paint.

149
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 1: It was extended to like sixteen. In the third quarter.

150
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 1: They were getting layups because they pulled a d out.

151
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 1: They put him in action seemingly every place. Steph Curry's

152
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 1: just going out him, pick and roll, cooking him, and they're

153
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 1: getting layups. That's leading to the fourteen assists. And now

154
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 1: you got one day off Bay Area, and now you

155
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 1: got to play Game five when you're exhausted. So I'm

156
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 1: not of the belief that the Lakers will punt Game five.

157
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 1: But I am on a Lakers text chain, and my

158
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 1: buddy says, crazy Lebron and Ad not traveling to San

159
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 1: Francisco like he was reporting it. H He's a big

160
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 1: time Laker fan, huge Kobe guy. I've coached with him before.

161
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:43,439
Speaker 1: Just super nice guy. And there is a thought that,

162
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 1: like listen, Ad has not played more than twenty consecutive

163
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 1: games in the regular season. I don't know that he's

164
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 1: done that. I think since the bubble, since he got

165
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:56,680
Speaker 1: to the Lakers, like he doesn't play this many games,

166
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 1: We're locked putting big minutes on him. I'm not even

167
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 1: kidding when I say Darvinham, who's pushed all the right

168
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:06,679
Speaker 1: buttons back in La Darvinham needs to seriously consider like, hey,

169
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:09,080
Speaker 1: I'm not over taxing these guys. It's gonna be very

170
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 1: difficult to close out the Warriors. Now the Warriors are old,

171
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 1: Clay's old, Curry's old. But this idea that the Lakers

172
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 1: can win game up, just forget about it. Just forget it.

173
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 1: And I know that's tough to tell it. It's like

174
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 1: tanking in the NFL. Like imagine telling a coach, hey,

175
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 1: we're gonna shit all our stars go out there and

176
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 1: lose the game, Like no coach wants to do that.

177
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 1: No players. By the way, these guys who come out

178
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 1: in the NFL like who are getting thrust into a

179
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 1: tank a quote unquote tank situation. They're not tanking. You

180
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 1: guys are playing for contracts. I'm trying to impress you guys,

181
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:41,199
Speaker 1: but also put out tape out there for the everybody

182
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,840
Speaker 1: else so another team could come get me like this

183
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:47,560
Speaker 1: idea that the Lakers are gonna tank, that's not real. However,

184
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 1: I'm not force feeding ad you know, twenty of twenty

185
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 1: four minutes in the first half, that's just not happening.

186
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 1: That's a good way to get this guy hurt. That's

187
00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 1: a good way to get the series blown. So I

188
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:04,560
Speaker 1: think you take it easy. You'd be realistic, and as

189
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:06,680
Speaker 1: soon as this gets away from the Lakers in Game five,

190
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 1: and it will, the Warriors will win Game five. You

191
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 1: can take that to the bank. I would not be

192
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:11,560
Speaker 1: surprised to see. Let me see if there's a line

193
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 1: out again, the game just ended, so it's unlikely they

194
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 1: already have a line. But for the Wednesday game, oh,

195
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:21,840
Speaker 1: they do have a line. Okay, here we go Warriors

196
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:23,960
Speaker 1: six and a half or it opened at six, it's

197
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:25,679
Speaker 1: already up to six and a half and the game

198
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:28,440
Speaker 1: ended like twenty minutes ago. This will get probably close

199
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 1: to eight, and I think the Warriors win handily by

200
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 1: double figures. So then it comes down to Game six

201
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:36,200
Speaker 1: and Ken Golden Steak get the win, and I think

202
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:39,840
Speaker 1: unequivocally the answer is yes. Now, I know robb G's

203
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 1: going to disagree with me vehemently, but before we get

204
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:45,840
Speaker 1: to robb G, I just need to point out this

205
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,320
Speaker 1: is how close the Warriors were winning. And I charted

206
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 1: all this because I'm a total nerd. When it comes

207
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 1: to the game, Clay, who had had a terrible game,

208
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 1: hits a three from the corner with three Zho one

209
00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:01,680
Speaker 1: left and the Warriors are up three ninety nine ninety six.

210
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 1: In the final three minutes, the Golden State Warriors had

211
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:08,200
Speaker 1: one basket a Steph Curry layup, and part of the

212
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 1: reason is shot selection. Clay hits that three, and remember

213
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 1: his dad, Michael Thompson played for the Lakers. Clay's back

214
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:20,439
Speaker 1: at home in LA and Clay on the next possession

215
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:23,319
Speaker 1: takes a horrendous I didn't think the shock clock was

216
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 1: winding down that low. Now maybe I'm wrong. It seemed

217
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:28,439
Speaker 1: like there were at least five seconds left on the

218
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 1: shot lock. Or check me on that rob Gie Clay

219
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:33,680
Speaker 1: jacksone and I'm talking he wasn't even set or anything,

220
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 1: and you could just tell that's way off. It's a

221
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 1: brick bounces out and you know it just they they

222
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 1: Lakers get the ball. The next time down the court,

223
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 1: Clay is like, oh I got it, I got any

224
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 1: Jack's another one. Now this one was within range. It

225
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 1: was a better shot, but still not a good shot.

226
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 1: It's early in the shock loock. You're like, what are

227
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:53,559
Speaker 1: you doing? So the next time they get the ball,

228
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 1: they're down three. Curry gets the layup, and this is

229
00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:58,960
Speaker 1: where the game essentially was lost. And I know people

230
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,319
Speaker 1: are gonna draw comparisons of what happened with Curry against

231
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 1: Kevin Love in the twenty sixteen finals. It ain't that okay. Essentially,

232
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 1: Lakers got Anthony Davis stranded on an island with Curry.

233
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 1: They could have run a double. They did not. As

234
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 1: Lebron said after the game, Ad is the best player

235
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 1: in the league. Defensively, Ad is a is a damn

236
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:19,679
Speaker 1: good defensive player. I don't know if he's the best.

237
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:23,960
Speaker 1: He actually had zero blocks, which I think speaks you know,

238
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,199
Speaker 1: the guy's blocking shot, Like three, four, five shots of

239
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 1: a game. He had zero when the Warriors were in

240
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:32,199
Speaker 1: a layup line. He's tired, man, So Curry, you got

241
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 1: what you want. Curry loses the ball a little bit.

242
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:36,559
Speaker 1: He picks it back up and he makes a move

243
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 1: and he misses a two pointer that was makeable, but

244
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 1: it you know again, over ad, this is six '

245
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 1: eleven guy with a massive wingspan. Draymondo gets the board

246
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 1: over shooter, kicks it back out to Curry, who then

247
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 1: takes another deep three. And all the people online that

248
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 1: I see are like, oh, come on, that's a terrible

249
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 1: shot by Curry. No, no, no, no, no stop. He

250
00:12:55,880 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 1: just watched his teammate Clay take two bad forced roball threes.

251
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:03,719
Speaker 1: What do you expect him to do? Wiggins in the

252
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 1: fourth quarter. I don't have the numbers, Rob, but Wiggins

253
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:08,679
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter, I feel like missed his last

254
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:12,320
Speaker 1: two threes. May have missed his last three shots. So

255
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 1: Wiggins is cold. He only ended up six or fourteen.

256
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 1: Clay three of eleven combined, that's nine of twenty five.

257
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:22,560
Speaker 1: If I'm Curry, I'm going down Swingen And I got

258
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 1: no problem with his final two shots, none at all.

259
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:30,560
Speaker 1: Both of them miss and that's the game. Like, that's

260
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 1: how close this was. And I will still say, given

261
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 1: the age situation with Lebron, given the injury history of

262
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 1: AD and what Ad did in the second half, answer nothing.

263
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 1: I will lean on the Golden State Warriors to still listen.

264
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 1: I'm not I don't want my prediction to be right. Well,

265
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 1: you want to be right, but I'm not saying this

266
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 1: because of that. But I don't believe the Warriors are over.

267
00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:58,720
Speaker 1: And I'll remind you Rob before you come at me,

268
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:02,840
Speaker 1: just gonna say the Warriors have not lost a series

269
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 1: in the postseason to a team in the Western Conference

270
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:10,959
Speaker 1: since I think twenty fourteen, and I think it was

271
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:13,400
Speaker 1: a seven game series to the paper Clips because I

272
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 1: had picked the Warriors to win that series because the

273
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 1: year before they won the first round and then lost

274
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 1: in the second and I was like, that's when I

275
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 1: got the Curry bandwagon starts filling up. It's like splash Bros.

276
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 1: And they lost. I'm almost certain it was to the

277
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 1: Clippers in seven, and that was the last time they

278
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 1: lost the series in the West. And I don't believe

279
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 1: it's over. I obviously want the series to go seven However,

280
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 1: we all know Game seven will be on Mother's Day. Now,

281
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 1: I do not currently have plans on Friday, which would

282
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 1: be Game six in LA. All right, Rob, I've rambled

283
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:47,920
Speaker 1: long enough. I still have more in the tank. I listen.

284
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 1: I unlike Ad, I got more of the tank and

285
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 1: we haven't even got to Nick's heat, which whatever. But

286
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 1: Rob G Lakers fan, I know you're geeked. I know

287
00:14:56,920 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 1: you're stoked. Have you bought the Western Conference championship?

288
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 2: Oh?

289
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 1: Wait, this is only the semi finals? Or are you

290
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 1: penciling a win over Denver?

291
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 2: You know, I didn't want to say that I'm gonna

292
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 2: count my chickens before they hatch, but I am framing

293
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 2: those Lakers twenty to one Lakers twenty two to one,

294
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 2: Lakers twenty seven to one tickets that I have from

295
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 2: bet MGM. They're gonna be sitting there next to my

296
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 2: bed every night, so I can stare at them and

297
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 2: count the money that's coming my way here in a

298
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 2: couple of weeks. Look, Steph Curry was awesome, Like he

299
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 2: was incredible. He I said before the game, it was

300
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 2: gonna be either the Lebron James game with a Steph

301
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 2: Curry game, and there was gonna be no in between.

302
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 2: It would be one of these two guys is gonna

303
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 2: be the reason why their team wins. And for forty

304
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 2: five minutes, it was the Steph Curry game. And this

305
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 2: is the drawback to running that style of play with

306
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 2: him that long and for that much. You know, it

307
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 2: wasn't just that he played. I think he finished with

308
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 2: what forty three minutes in the game.

309
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 1: Forty two minutes thirty one point on thirty shots, right,

310
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 1: So it wasn't just that he played them, because I mean,

311
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 1: Lebron and Ad were right there with him.

312
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 2: It's that the minutes he played were heavy minutes. It

313
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 2: was he has the ball every time down the floor.

314
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 2: He's involved in every action, and if he's not, he's

315
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 2: coming off of a bunch of screens and pinned downs

316
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 2: and flares to get the ball and shooting position on

317
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 2: the flip side. Shout out to Lonnie Walker. By the way,

318
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 2: don't call him Lonnie Walker the first, second or third

319
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 2: because he isn't shooting the first three quarters. It's only

320
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 2: the fourth. He's Lonnie the fourth for a reason. Okay,

321
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 2: But once Lonnie started to get going there in the

322
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 2: fourth quarter, it was either Lonnie going at Steph Curry

323
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:39,640
Speaker 2: or it was screen get Lebron going at Steph Curry.

324
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 2: So I think that there's a reason why Steph. I'm

325
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 2: not gonna say he melted down there in the last time.

326
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:47,600
Speaker 2: I'm not going to say melting down, but I think

327
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 2: there's a reason why he was short on both of

328
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 2: those shots against Ad. One of them was a little

329
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 2: off to the left as well, and I think he

330
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 2: had a mental brain fart when he had that turnover

331
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 2: off the jump ball, because they still had at he

332
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 2: could have easily called this out, but I think Steph

333
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 2: was worn down by then, and I don't blame him

334
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 2: for it because he was far and away the best

335
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 2: player on the floor all night. He was the reason

336
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:14,480
Speaker 2: they were in that position to begin with, and it

337
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 2: just kind of sucks that that had to happen to him,

338
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 2: even as a Laker fand it was great to see

339
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 2: us whin. It sucked to see that he did everything

340
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 2: he could to get them back to two to two

341
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:27,880
Speaker 2: and give himself a chance to win the series, and

342
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:32,120
Speaker 2: it comes down to two missshots over a big which

343
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 2: he should have been able to blow them by, in

344
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 2: my opinion, in a normal situation in that.

345
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:38,640
Speaker 1: Earlier and remember the last time he attacked the rim,

346
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 1: he got by a shrewd and Lebron came and got

347
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 1: the block from behind, right, So, and he had had

348
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:45,880
Speaker 1: that happen in the series, right.

349
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 2: So I think if this is like the ten minute

350
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:50,200
Speaker 2: mark of the fourth quarter, he blows right by Ad.

351
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 2: That's just my opinion. So it sucks that had happened

352
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 2: to him. On the flip side, Look, the Lakers in

353
00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 2: six has been preordained, you know, or at least a

354
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 2: week and a half now. So I don't know why

355
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:05,680
Speaker 2: you're trying to pimp out this Warriors in seven conversations

356
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:11,719
Speaker 2: You're probably right, but it I just I know STEP's

357
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:14,360
Speaker 2: your guy. I know that you guys ran two's at

358
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:17,240
Speaker 2: the local at fitness one time and you were giving

359
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:20,480
Speaker 2: these randos the work, and I understand that, but these

360
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:24,200
Speaker 2: are not your older brothers, Golden State Warriors. Kevin Durant

361
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:28,119
Speaker 2: is not walking through that door, right even you know

362
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 2: game six, Clay is only available, like you know, once

363
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:36,360
Speaker 2: a series rather than every other game. There is no

364
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:39,919
Speaker 2: bench mob with Barbosa and Livingston and Ni Guidala anymore.

365
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:43,240
Speaker 2: This isn't even last year's Warriors team where Jordan Poole

366
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 2: could give you, you know, pieces of good play.

367
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:48,440
Speaker 1: But you know, I will say this, but Pool came

368
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:51,399
Speaker 1: in and he made like two awesome passes. There was

369
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:56,159
Speaker 1: a no look that somebody blew on a layup, and

370
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:58,200
Speaker 1: then he did have a good assist. But then he

371
00:18:58,240 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 1: had a couple turnovers and it was clearly in his

372
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:02,840
Speaker 1: head was barely shooting and was like and then when

373
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:03,120
Speaker 1: he was.

374
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:06,399
Speaker 2: Shooting, he has some of the worst shot selection, like

375
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 2: this side of Nick Young, like, oh you Young, I'm

376
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 2: saying that he needs to understand what his role is

377
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:19,640
Speaker 2: on that team. Is the only the only guy who

378
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:22,119
Speaker 2: has the carte blanche to take those kind of shots,

379
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:24,159
Speaker 2: no questions asked, No matter where you are in the

380
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 2: shot clock or who's guarding you is Steph Curry. You

381
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 2: just ripped Klay Thompson for taking two bad shots, which

382
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 2: I agree that they were bad shots, one of them

383
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 2: with twelve seconds left on the shot clock, which you

384
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:35,679
Speaker 2: had no reason to take a follow up.

385
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 1: Oh it was twelve seconds left.

386
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:39,960
Speaker 2: Twelve seconds left on wonder Oh my gosh, so I

387
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:43,919
Speaker 2: but the difference between Klay Thompson and Jordan poole is

388
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 2: Klay Thompson at least has a history. He has a catalog,

389
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 2: he has an index of shots like that gone in.

390
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:52,960
Speaker 1: But again he's shooting in the fourth pools jacking in

391
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:56,320
Speaker 1: like the second quarter, which I'm fine with. Quick side

392
00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:59,200
Speaker 1: note Rob and this is not really pertaining to the game.

393
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:04,120
Speaker 1: Gary Pateon had an incredible showing. I thought for most

394
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:07,399
Speaker 1: of it. Now Moses Moody closed over Peyton because Moody's

395
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:10,880
Speaker 1: a better shooter. Moody looked good, he could play. Did

396
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:14,719
Speaker 1: you see Gary Payton Jr. At one point in I

397
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:18,280
Speaker 1: think it was the second quarter vomit in his mouth

398
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 1: on the court and then keep it in the whole play,

399
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:24,880
Speaker 1: and I'm almost vomiting, Like I'm one of those weirdos

400
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:27,400
Speaker 1: who if there's like a vomit situation, I can't look

401
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:30,240
Speaker 1: at the person or be around it or I will vomit.

402
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:35,200
Speaker 1: Gary Payton throws up in his mouth and then saves

403
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:37,240
Speaker 1: it and then it goes out like after he goes

404
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:40,040
Speaker 1: to the benches like it is one of the grossest things,

405
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 1: Like football players vomiting is nasty. I don't know what

406
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:46,720
Speaker 1: happened with Peyton, but he vomited. You can look up

407
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:49,439
Speaker 1: the video on social media. It's crazy. One more Lonnie

408
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:52,080
Speaker 1: Walker number for you. I said he had fifteen points

409
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 1: and the Warriors had seventeen in the fourth Lonnie Walker

410
00:20:56,920 --> 00:21:00,680
Speaker 1: had as many baskets in the fourth quarter six as

411
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:05,159
Speaker 1: the Warriors did. It's insane. Now try to wrap your

412
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:07,720
Speaker 1: head around that. Like if if someone was in a

413
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:10,879
Speaker 1: coma for like, I don't know, six months, and you

414
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 1: said Lonnie Walker was the hero of Game four Riors,

415
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,600
Speaker 1: you'd be like, who the guy on the Spurs? What

416
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 1: Lonnie Walker?

417
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 2: I was out of the league. That's probably one of

418
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:22,120
Speaker 2: your first.

419
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 1: Respond I mean, I had to look him up. You know,

420
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:26,359
Speaker 1: this is weird. I had to look him up on

421
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 1: social media because I wanted to follow him, and then

422
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 1: I started to it. He had like the dreads and

423
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:33,919
Speaker 1: I didn't understand what that was all about. And then

424
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:35,560
Speaker 1: he shaved them off, and I guess he went through

425
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 1: some personal stuff. Do you know? Or no?

426
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:40,119
Speaker 2: I did not know. Okay, so honestly didn't follow him

427
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 2: at all to the guys of the Lakers.

428
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:44,719
Speaker 1: So at the well before the bubble, but during COVID

429
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:47,360
Speaker 1: he revealed he was the victim of abuse by family

430
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 1: members when he was a kid and he had grown

431
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:53,480
Speaker 1: out his hair as a coping mechanism, so he decided

432
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:57,880
Speaker 1: to cut his hair in during right after COVID happened.

433
00:21:57,920 --> 00:21:59,520
Speaker 1: It was like in the summer, I think, before the

434
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:05,480
Speaker 1: bubble to shed the quote is to shed my skin mentally, emotionally, physically, spiritually,

435
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:08,000
Speaker 1: Like I'm rooting for that. As soon as that happened,

436
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,119
Speaker 1: I was like, that's weirdo. And then you read his

437
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 1: story and you're like, man, what a guy you're rooting

438
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 1: for Lonnie Walker? Like I know, Lakers fancy, he's a hero.

439
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:18,440
Speaker 1: He's never paying for a drink again. I saw some silly,

440
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:22,520
Speaker 1: funny tweets like this is an iconic NBA moment, like

441
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 1: especially rob If the Lakers end up going through to

442
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:29,360
Speaker 1: like the finals and winning it or something crazy, he's

443
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:32,680
Speaker 1: going to be remembered like historically this gape, I would

444
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:37,119
Speaker 1: assume I guess ten eleven million viewers on TV. I

445
00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:39,600
Speaker 1: think I saw seven million viewers for Game one or something.

446
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:43,199
Speaker 1: But this was like Monday night, nothing else going on,

447
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 1: and Lonnie Walker goes off in the fourth quarter of

448
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:47,679
Speaker 1: a close game against with Steph Curry and Lebron on

449
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 1: the court. It was just like so good. I don't know,

450
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 1: I really I.

451
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 2: Got some more Lonnie Walker's stats, Like, I mean, the

452
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:55,439
Speaker 2: good thing about recording immediately after the game, and they

453
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:58,600
Speaker 2: start pouring in as you're talking. So you mentioned that

454
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:02,480
Speaker 2: he had first quarter, second quarter, to third quarter zero points,

455
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:04,439
Speaker 2: zero field goal attempts. By the way, and finish the

456
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:07,199
Speaker 2: fourth quarter of fifteen. He is now the third player

457
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:09,440
Speaker 2: since two thousand score fifteen points in the fourth quarter

458
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:11,159
Speaker 2: of a playoff game after not taking a shot in

459
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 2: the first three quarters.

460
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:13,439
Speaker 1: Can I guess the other two? Wait? Hold up?

461
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:13,960
Speaker 2: Go for it?

462
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:15,640
Speaker 1: Do I have any chance of guessing them?

463
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:16,080
Speaker 2: No?

464
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 1: Are they still in the league? One of them is

465
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:22,119
Speaker 1: is Oh is he still in the playoffs?

466
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:27,160
Speaker 2: No? The one you're not going to get is Todd Day.

467
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, Todd ray Day, Come on, Arkansas legend. Yeah,

468
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:32,200
Speaker 1: I'll guess Giannis is the other.

469
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:34,359
Speaker 2: No, I'll hold up, hold on, it's got to be

470
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:38,240
Speaker 2: a guy who's not going to score very much. I'll

471
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:40,720
Speaker 2: give you a hint. He's a former Laker All start

472
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 2: off the league. No, Russell Westbrook, No, he stayed on

473
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:45,040
Speaker 2: All Stars.

474
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 1: So they are I give up?

475
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:53,400
Speaker 2: I viza Zubats what he had fifteen in the fourth

476
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 2: quarter twenty nineteen against the Warriors. And then here's that.

477
00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:57,880
Speaker 2: This is the other one. This is why they call.

478
00:23:57,920 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 1: Wait, hold up, hold up twenty nineteen. That was the

479
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,880
Speaker 1: the paper clips that were the heart and hustle, right, Yes,

480
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:06,439
Speaker 1: the mantres Harrald Pat.

481
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:08,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, Pat bevue with Kevin Durant where they want to

482
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:10,359
Speaker 2: games against Kevin Durant. You thought they won the championship.

483
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then they went to the bubble and they

484
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:15,440
Speaker 1: were like a total disaster after yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, good, okay.

485
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:17,440
Speaker 1: Two bonds and Todd Day was the other one. That's

486
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 1: why I love Todd Day in college. But now I'm

487
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:19,800
Speaker 1: dating myself.

488
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 2: Anyway, And this is my favorite. Lonnie Walkers before we

489
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 2: move on, Lonnie walker the Fourth, He's the fourth for

490
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:28,480
Speaker 2: a reason, has scored forty four points in the playoffs

491
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:31,159
Speaker 2: this year. Thirty nine of those have come in the

492
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 2: fourth quarter.

493
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:34,600
Speaker 1: That's the definition of clutch.

494
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 2: I mean one of them was a blowout, you know,

495
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 2: a game too, but shout out to Lonnie the Fourth.

496
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:44,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just one other question, Like you think the

497
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 1: series is over. I'm sure a lot of people do.

498
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:48,359
Speaker 1: I saw Lakers as high as five point fifty to

499
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:51,520
Speaker 1: win the to win the series, Like, that's not a

500
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 1: major shocker. But I would take a look at what

501
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:58,639
Speaker 1: the Warriors are and just give a shot. I am curious,

502
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:04,399
Speaker 1: what does like the Lakers, let's say they beat the

503
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 1: Warriors in this series. Does this do any damage to

504
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:12,159
Speaker 1: the Curry legacy or are you of the belief like me,

505
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:15,560
Speaker 1: once you get to a certain level, you can't damage

506
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:18,639
Speaker 1: your legacy. You can only improve it. Like Kevin Durant,

507
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:20,320
Speaker 1: even if they lose to the Nuggets, I don't think

508
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 1: it hurts his legacy. He's already cemented top fifteen player

509
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 1: all the time. All he can do is get better.

510
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:27,200
Speaker 1: He's got his resumes enough. Obviously. I feel the same

511
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:29,520
Speaker 1: way about Curry. He's not like dropping out of the

512
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:31,879
Speaker 1: top ten because they lose to the Lakers. Even if

513
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:36,440
Speaker 1: the Lakers don't win the title. I don't know it

514
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:40,399
Speaker 1: just I'm not I don't think like Curry's to blame.

515
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:42,160
Speaker 1: People love to play the blame game. I think Clayo

516
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:45,680
Speaker 1: get a lot of blame tomorrow when this gets open, and.

517
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:49,199
Speaker 2: I just don't want that turnover will get a lot

518
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:50,399
Speaker 2: of Oh what.

519
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:52,720
Speaker 1: Is he doing. We didn't even talk about that. Like

520
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:56,959
Speaker 1: Draymond down three, they call time out and they come

521
00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:59,159
Speaker 1: out of it and instead of like Curry getting the

522
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:01,160
Speaker 1: ball and going to work, like oh, we'll run a play,

523
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:03,520
Speaker 1: get two and then foul or whatever. Lakers, by the way,

524
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:06,400
Speaker 1: didn't miss a free throw twenty at twenty and Draymond

525
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 1: just drives. He didn't have the angle to score on Shruder.

526
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:09,960
Speaker 1: I saw some people like, oh, he should have just

527
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,240
Speaker 1: taken the layup. He he, he didn't have the angle there.

528
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:16,480
Speaker 2: Well, the shooter plays designed for Klay Thompson of the

529
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:17,840
Speaker 2: three in the corner, three in the corner.

530
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:19,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, they didn't leave them. Yeah they're smart. They're like, oh,

531
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:21,880
Speaker 1: Draymond will give you the two, fine, right, and they're

532
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:26,080
Speaker 1: they're hugging up play. I just like going down swimming

533
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:27,920
Speaker 1: with my with my superstars. So I would have had

534
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:31,400
Speaker 1: no qualms if Curry was jacking another three there, and frankly,

535
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 1: I would have thought it was going in, because I

536
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:38,119
Speaker 1: think every Curry shots going in. Curry is now tied

537
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:43,040
Speaker 1: for the most thirty point triple doubles in the playoffs

538
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:47,399
Speaker 1: Lebron first, Oscar second, Russ with six Curry, Harden, and

539
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 1: Jokic with three Jokic be uh put some separation between

540
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:54,480
Speaker 1: him and and the chef tonight. It's too early to

541
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:56,920
Speaker 1: get into Lakers Nuggets, but I have to ask, would

542
00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 1: you rather face, as a Lakers fan the Nuggets Jokic,

543
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 1: Murray Porter? Lakers beat them in the Bubble A D

544
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:09,720
Speaker 1: I thought did well against yok This Nuggets seems definitely

545
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:12,560
Speaker 1: better than the one in the bubble or the Suns,

546
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:15,200
Speaker 1: who probably would get Chris Paul back. I don't know

547
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:19,800
Speaker 1: if that's a good thing. KD and Booker, who you

548
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 1: really have nobody to match up with.

549
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:25,800
Speaker 2: I would rather face Denver, Yeah, even though even though

550
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 2: I think Denver is better than Phoenix, I think that

551
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:33,159
Speaker 2: as we're seeing in these playoffs, none like we mentioned yesterday,

552
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:35,479
Speaker 2: I don't think any of these teams are markedly better

553
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:36,760
Speaker 2: than the rest of the field.

554
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:39,600
Speaker 1: I think Boston still still considerably better than anyone in

555
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:40,000
Speaker 1: the East.

556
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:46,080
Speaker 2: Really yeah, why well? I mean the sizzling, I agree

557
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:46,880
Speaker 2: is probably higher.

558
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:49,680
Speaker 1: They was screwed around late in games. They squad around

559
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:52,440
Speaker 1: with everybody, but the problem I think their margin of

560
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:55,080
Speaker 1: victory in this series like plus minus. I think the

561
00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:57,960
Speaker 1: sixers are like plus or if sixers are minus forty

562
00:27:57,960 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 1: one because they got blasted in Game two and then

563
00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 1: they by double digits at home in Game three. They

564
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:05,520
Speaker 1: just got lucky James Harden threes. And I know somebody

565
00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:07,720
Speaker 1: will call me unlucky, but I got this stat. I'm

566
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:10,720
Speaker 1: not exactly where, but I wrote it down on my phone.

567
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:15,640
Speaker 1: Hold up, James Harden in his playoff career, was one

568
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:19,199
Speaker 1: of ten on threes in the last thirty seconds to

569
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:22,639
Speaker 1: go ahead, excluding you're stripping out the blowout games three pointers.

570
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:25,879
Speaker 1: Who cares. Coming into the series, he was one of

571
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:28,200
Speaker 1: ten on those three pointers. In this series, he's two

572
00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 1: of two. Like again, ten percent in clutch shots. In

573
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:34,000
Speaker 1: James Harden plaoff career from three and all of a

574
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 1: sudden he's two two. That's the only reason this isn't

575
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 1: a sweep. I still think the Celtics had them handily.

576
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:39,880
Speaker 1: I think they're the best in the East by far.

577
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 1: I think they'll be fine against Miami. Miami's just overachieving

578
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:46,480
Speaker 1: in the Knicks or a disaster. Do we even need

579
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:49,400
Speaker 1: to talk about the Knicks heat game like it's just

580
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 1: not a fun watch. The Knicks of disappointing. Thibodeau really

581
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:55,880
Speaker 1: irks me with his rotations, and.

582
00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:57,959
Speaker 2: Like Randall already threw in the towel. It feels like,

583
00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:01,280
Speaker 2: what do he say? Maybe they wanted more than we do.

584
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:04,360
Speaker 2: It's like, bro, if that's what your your comment is.

585
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 2: After Game four, down three to one, heading back home

586
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:08,640
Speaker 2: for Game five.

587
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:12,680
Speaker 1: I mean, Randall wasn't terrible. All these Knicks fans are

588
00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:15,160
Speaker 1: pissed at me because I had said Randall was a

589
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:18,560
Speaker 1: better Nick than Carmelo. And by the way, they've won

590
00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 1: the same amount of playoff series in New York one

591
00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:23,880
Speaker 1: to one, and Mellow was their way longer. Randall wasn't awful.

592
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:26,200
Speaker 1: I mean, the six turnovers were not great, fouling out

593
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:30,720
Speaker 1: not ideal, but twenty nine and three twenty points nine

594
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:32,480
Speaker 1: boards three since he wasn't bad, brunts, it was good.

595
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:36,840
Speaker 1: They just for whatever reason when it matters, Miami's just

596
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 1: way better, Miami grabbing every offensive board, Kyle Lowry chipping

597
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:42,400
Speaker 1: in fifteen points. How the hell is Kyle Lowerd's going

598
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:45,959
Speaker 1: fifteen points? You know, bam Outebayo seems to have woken up.

599
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:50,560
Speaker 1: That's not good news. Twenty three and thirteen, Max Struce cooking,

600
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:53,800
Speaker 1: Like I just the fact that the Knicks are losing

601
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:56,560
Speaker 1: to these guys is studying. And oh, by the way, Rob,

602
00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:58,920
Speaker 1: you remember Obi toppin in game one? I was like,

603
00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:01,400
Speaker 1: why is he shooting all these shots? Obie Top? And

604
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:04,760
Speaker 1: I think at eleven three point attempts in game one,

605
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:10,240
Speaker 1: Obi Top had played six minutes. Like Thibodeau's basically said,

606
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 1: we can't win with you, and you know, the injury

607
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:18,040
Speaker 1: to quickly obviously not ideal. They had to play McBride

608
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:21,480
Speaker 1: there a little bit, Josh Hart in a tough spot.

609
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:23,640
Speaker 1: The Nicks are done. I mean, maybe they win Game five,

610
00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:26,800
Speaker 1: but short of Jimmy Butler leaving the series injured and

611
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:28,960
Speaker 1: oh by the way, he doesn't miss free throws twenty

612
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 1: seven to ten and six, Like, Jimmy Butler is amazing

613
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:34,760
Speaker 1: and he'll give Tatum and company problems, especially if that

614
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:37,680
Speaker 1: series goes long. But ultimately we're seeing another heat Celtics

615
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:40,200
Speaker 1: final in the East. I think this will be their

616
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:46,280
Speaker 1: third straight Eastern Conference Final matchup second or they definitely battle.

617
00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:51,040
Speaker 2: It will be two they.

618
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:52,320
Speaker 1: Played in the Bubble. I'm not one hundred percent sure. Yeah,

619
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:56,280
Speaker 1: they did out, didn't Tatum get blocked? In the bubble.

620
00:30:57,360 --> 00:30:59,360
Speaker 2: Was that the bam Auta Baio one finger block.

621
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:03,480
Speaker 1: It might have been my memory. Listen, it's late, my memory, baby.

622
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:05,240
Speaker 2: All these years kind of blend together, by the.

623
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 1: Way, Yeah, yeah, yeah, man. So I will admit obviously,

624
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:13,360
Speaker 1: I live in LA I like the Lakers. I root

625
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:16,480
Speaker 1: for the Lakers, but my guy's Curry, and I really

626
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:18,800
Speaker 1: like Curry. Him out of the postseason will kind of stink.

627
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:22,520
Speaker 1: But also losing Lebron an ad would kind of stinks,

628
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:23,920
Speaker 1: and I would have no chance to go to any

629
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:27,240
Speaker 1: games in the next round. So I'm hopeful. Let's quickly,

630
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:31,760
Speaker 1: I gotta get to bed here, Let's quickly get to

631
00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:36,480
Speaker 1: tonight's games. The lines. I haven't bet anything yet, just

632
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 1: because you know, I don't really have a read on

633
00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:45,400
Speaker 1: Phoenix Denver. I think Denver wins at home, but are

634
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:46,959
Speaker 1: they going to cover five and a half? And like

635
00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:51,120
Speaker 1: I like Boston, seven and a half kind of feels

636
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 1: like a big number. I don't like these big spreads.

637
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:56,560
Speaker 1: By the way, Lakers Lakers were three point favorites. Not

638
00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:58,240
Speaker 1: a bad job Vegas, but it got bet down to

639
00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:00,840
Speaker 1: two and a half. A lot of Warriors money. Lakers

640
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:07,440
Speaker 1: cover barely barely. So I think Boston wins tonight, I'd

641
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:09,800
Speaker 1: like to say handily, but I'm not betting it yet,

642
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:14,680
Speaker 1: and I think the Nuggets win. Going against Kevin Durant.

643
00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:16,560
Speaker 1: I had some guy on social media rod telling me,

644
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:20,360
Speaker 1: you gotta bet Devin Booker under game five. I'm like, really,

645
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:22,760
Speaker 1: the guy shooting like seventy nine percent in his last

646
00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:24,120
Speaker 1: two games, and you're gonna get in front of that

647
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:27,080
Speaker 1: freight train. I don't think Booker can keep it up.

648
00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:31,480
Speaker 1: But under I don't know any Leans Robin in the

649
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:34,800
Speaker 1: game fives in Phoenix, ten for Philly Boston.

650
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:36,360
Speaker 2: This is gonna be like a little bit of a

651
00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:39,120
Speaker 2: cop out. But like you, I'm not really feeling either

652
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:41,640
Speaker 2: of the spreads in this game or either of these games.

653
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:45,120
Speaker 2: So if I were to bet, one thing I would do,

654
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:46,800
Speaker 2: though is I would do money line and I would

655
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 2: parlay it though Celtics Nuggets straight up wins the best

656
00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:54,960
Speaker 2: odds you could get, but I would That's what I

657
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:56,880
Speaker 2: would do.

658
00:32:57,120 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 1: This is from one of our former guests, Cameron Salerno,

659
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:04,720
Speaker 1: who the Kings. Jordan Poole's contract four years, one hundred

660
00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:07,760
Speaker 1: and twenty eight million, so actually he's not a twenty

661
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:12,440
Speaker 1: year guy, He's like thirty thirty two. Malik Monk's contract

662
00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:16,800
Speaker 1: two years, nineteen point four million, and if you looked

663
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:20,360
Speaker 1: at their stats in the playoffs, Milke Monk is their

664
00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:24,400
Speaker 1: guy now. Rob. I don't want to crush Jordan Poole here,

665
00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:29,520
Speaker 1: but in the reality of the NBA, like they had

666
00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:31,920
Speaker 1: to pay him or they were gonna lose him, right,

667
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:36,160
Speaker 1: somebody would have paid him, but they could not. Like

668
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:39,080
Speaker 1: low ball Jordan Poole. Did they overpay him, Yeah, but

669
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:41,840
Speaker 1: you had to keep him otherwise you're gonna lose him.

670
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:43,720
Speaker 1: And like you know, Curry has had some injuries, he's

671
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:47,080
Speaker 1: getting old. Pool played well with him last year. But

672
00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:51,000
Speaker 1: I don't know. I can't crush the Warriors for paying

673
00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:54,000
Speaker 1: Jordan Poole, and not yet at least you can't.

674
00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:57,200
Speaker 2: I mean, look, my Jordan Poole take from last week

675
00:33:57,320 --> 00:34:00,240
Speaker 2: is aging like fine wine. He is going to be

676
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:03,880
Speaker 2: the reason why this Warrior's dynasty breaks up. Not all

677
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 2: of it is his fault, but he is ultimately gonna

678
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:09,680
Speaker 2: be at the epicenter of why It's the punch and

679
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:12,120
Speaker 2: that what it caused to their team chemistry, and again

680
00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:16,239
Speaker 2: that's Draymond's fault. More than that's his fault. It's the contract,

681
00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:19,239
Speaker 2: which again you brought it up, it's not his fault.

682
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:21,120
Speaker 2: They gave him one hundred and twenty eight million dollars.

683
00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:24,680
Speaker 2: Like that's Bob Myers and Joe lacub for giving him

684
00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:27,680
Speaker 2: that kind of money off of basically one good season

685
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:30,520
Speaker 2: and lost. But not least. It's the inconsistent which is

686
00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:34,360
Speaker 2: his fault. It's it's the no defense, it's the terrible

687
00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:37,600
Speaker 2: shot selection. And so you bring all those things together,

688
00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:41,279
Speaker 2: those three things together, and they're not gonna be able

689
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:44,080
Speaker 2: to pay everybody. So Draymond and Clay, this might be

690
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:46,880
Speaker 2: the last ride, you know, for that trio together.

691
00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:49,680
Speaker 1: I know that Steve Kerr loves Clay, he was defending

692
00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:50,840
Speaker 1: him in the postgame, and I know a lot of

693
00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:54,399
Speaker 1: Warriors fans love Clay, and I get it. It's been

694
00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:57,719
Speaker 1: a really tough playoffs for Klay Thompson. He's starting to

695
00:34:57,719 --> 00:35:00,759
Speaker 1: look his age now. One argument is like, hey man,

696
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:03,920
Speaker 1: he's had two major surgeries, he's thirty three. You got

697
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:05,880
Speaker 1: to let him stick it out, do you really? I

698
00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:09,400
Speaker 1: don't know if he's not willing to come in on

699
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:11,359
Speaker 1: some kind of team friendly deal, and I don't think

700
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:13,600
Speaker 1: he is, but he shouldn't.

701
00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:14,920
Speaker 2: He shouldn't be.

702
00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:17,080
Speaker 1: Well, we're not paying you for what you did in

703
00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:18,960
Speaker 1: the past. That's why I'm Lakers screwed up with.

704
00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:22,799
Speaker 2: Even right now, if you're Klay Thompson, there is no

705
00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:24,920
Speaker 2: way you can come in and say, well, yeah, I

706
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:27,759
Speaker 2: know that you gave Jordan Poole four years, one twenty eight,

707
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:30,799
Speaker 2: so I'll take less than that. There is no world

708
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:32,839
Speaker 2: where Jordan Poole should be getting paid more money than

709
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:33,480
Speaker 2: Klay Thompson.

710
00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:36,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, but we say that about this about NFL quarterbacks

711
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:38,000
Speaker 1: all the time, and I know these guys are on

712
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:41,279
Speaker 1: the same team, but like you know, pretty soon, like

713
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:43,920
Speaker 1: a couple months, Patrick Mahomes is gonna look underpaid when

714
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:46,160
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert gets his due deal. And like, that's kind

715
00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:47,759
Speaker 1: of the way it is. That's what the market said

716
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:50,880
Speaker 1: at the time you needed to pay Pool. Now, Clay's

717
00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:53,560
Speaker 1: coming off a bad postseason, and.

718
00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:55,960
Speaker 2: His bad postseason is better than Jordan Poole's post.

719
00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:58,520
Speaker 1: It is correct, And guess what they're losing in the

720
00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:02,120
Speaker 1: second round. Who cares? So I mean, listen, I wouldn't

721
00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:05,400
Speaker 1: come back and say, hey, Clay, we're low balling you,

722
00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:07,200
Speaker 1: but I would say, listen, we'll give you some kind

723
00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:10,240
Speaker 1: of team friendly deal, but we can't go thirty five million.

724
00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:11,759
Speaker 1: We just can't. Doesn't make sense for us.

725
00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:15,480
Speaker 2: And then you talk about he wants forty million. Now, oh,

726
00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:22,720
Speaker 2: he said he wants a max. Reportedly, well a max

727
00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:26,520
Speaker 2: for Clay's. It's gonna be over.

728
00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:28,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, listen, brob, we need to file some of this away,

729
00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:31,560
Speaker 1: just like the Lonnie Walker takes from U back in

730
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:35,040
Speaker 1: the day. All Right, folks, that's a long podcast. After

731
00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:38,560
Speaker 1: the I'm gonna say, sunning surprising Lakers win. It was

732
00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:41,800
Speaker 1: surprising because Lonnie Walker went off. But two good games tonight.

733
00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:45,600
Speaker 1: I would you know what I think ultimate changed my

734
00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:47,279
Speaker 1: mind a little bit. I'm gonna bet Denver to cover

735
00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:52,200
Speaker 1: the spread. I think they go home short rest for

736
00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:57,920
Speaker 1: Phoenix Aging Stars. I don't think Landry Shammett is pulling

737
00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:01,680
Speaker 1: a friggin Lonnie Walker. By the way, Sunday, Landry sham

738
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:06,399
Speaker 1: at twelve in the fourth quarter. Monday, Lonnie Walker goes

739
00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:09,080
Speaker 1: off in the in the fourth for the Lakers. I

740
00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:11,799
Speaker 1: don't know who's who's the guy tonight? Rob, you want

741
00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:13,960
Speaker 1: to pick great? Is this tonight a great Williams game? No? No,

742
00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:18,320
Speaker 1: it has to be the underdog. Well, Lakers are favored,

743
00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:20,040
Speaker 1: but you know what I mean, we need like an

744
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:22,040
Speaker 1: unsung hero off the bench. Who you got for Philly

745
00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:25,280
Speaker 1: going off tonight. Paul Reid, Paul Reid.

746
00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:29,840
Speaker 2: Big fan of B ball, Paul Man. Can Tobias Harris

747
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:30,319
Speaker 2: gonna be? It'spi?

748
00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:33,200
Speaker 1: I know he makes like a kids make years.

749
00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:36,440
Speaker 2: I mean he doesn't really do a whole lot these days,

750
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:38,200
Speaker 2: so I mean you're running out of options. I mean,

751
00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:39,719
Speaker 2: Tyree's Max. He's too good of a player, so he

752
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:43,440
Speaker 2: can't really be him. Uh, nobody on the Sixers.

753
00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:45,120
Speaker 1: If anything, It's gonna be the TJ.

754
00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:46,680
Speaker 2: Warren game. I'm calling it.

755
00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:48,279
Speaker 1: Like bubble TJ Warren.

756
00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:50,480
Speaker 2: He's bubble TJ is gonna make a resurgence.

757
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:54,680
Speaker 1: I predict Yeah, Nugg Nuggets a winning this game. I'm

758
00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:56,640
Speaker 1: back in the Nuggets, all right, guys, talk to you tomorrow.
