Speaker 1: Some people believe this, some people leave steak, and some

2
00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:10,280
Speaker 1: others just like eating their greens.

3
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:12,600
Speaker 2: But if you're searching for.

4
00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 1: The single greatest million day, then don't be looking any

Speaker 2: Lots of news later in the show, and of course

21
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 2: tweeted the night. But we once a had three games.

22
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 2: On last night game twos, UH finally had a road

23
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 2: win or two, which is nice to get some series

24
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 2: one to one. But let's start with the one that's

25
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:30,960
Speaker 2: two oh, because that's Minnesota taking the two o lead

26
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 2: on the Suns behind twenty five points. Some great defense

27
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 2: from Jayden McDaniels. He was the star in this one. Yeah,

28
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 2: a lot of Bulls players played really well, but he

29
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 2: is the takeaway from this one with twenty five points,

30
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 2: ten to seventeen, shooting eight boards, great defense, like I said,

31
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 2: a plus twenty four, and it was like a layup

32
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 2: line for this guy, a dunk line, like three or

33
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 2: four dunks because it has a bit of an Ola

34
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 2: defense there from the Suns.

35
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 4: But they're up to to Oh.

36
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 3: We'll get to Jayden in a second. I was just

37
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 3: so surprised by this and their lack of effort in

38
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 3: this game. They're such a top heavy team. They rely

39
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 3: on their stars so much that those stars need to

40
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 3: put forth effort all the time, and that just was

41
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 3: not happening. The stars didn't want it enough in this game.

42
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 3: I think Logan Roy can go to this team after

43
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,640
Speaker 3: it into the locker room and say I love you,

44
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 3: but you are not serious people. They were not serious

45
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:28,360
Speaker 3: and they tribes. Look listen. Nurkic played real hard, throwing

46
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:30,519
Speaker 3: his body around. Eric Gordon was very good off the bench.

47
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 3: Drew Eubanks was good off the.

48
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 4: Moments.

49
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 2: It was weird that there was a stretch where Eric

50
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 2: Gordon Andrew Hubanks were playing the best. Yes, the phoenix

51
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 2: signs and that's not a good sign.

52
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, they just had to put forth more effort. You

53
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 3: can look at Bradley Beal. There's just so many moments

54
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 3: he had go bear on a switch at the three

55
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 3: point line. He went by Rudy Gobert, no prompt, So

56
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 3: stick your Bradley Beal, button him and try and throw

57
00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 3: up a layup. You had space. Instead, he passed it out.

58
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 3: It didn't make sense when you rely on these guys

59
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 3: to be able to score the first possession third quarter.

60
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:08,080
Speaker 3: Frank Vogel says, you know what, we need to rely

61
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:11,239
Speaker 3: on guys at the top of our order here. You

62
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 3: know what, I'm gonna put Bradley Beal in a post

63
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,920
Speaker 3: up opportunity against Mike Conley because that's our advantage. He

64
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 3: just passed right out of it. He just wasn't looking

65
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 3: to take advantage of the next possession team pushing the

66
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,359
Speaker 3: ball and Bradley Beal just stepped out of bounds. Now

67
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,359
Speaker 3: that was just a flub, But I just didn't see

68
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 3: the effort at all times. I mean, Devin Booker's had

69
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 3: a bad night. He missed two wide open shots. He

70
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 3: wasn't in a good flow from the first game where

71
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 3: he had fouled trouble. Then this third one, it was

72
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 3: a contested shot, and then he missed that one, and

73
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 3: then the fourth one he went and got the rebound

74
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 3: of that one and scored it. He was just mad.

75
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 3: He was looking at all his teammates on a defensive

76
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 3: possession and saying, we.

77
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 4: Got to talk.

78
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 3: It's just like they weren't there. They just all weren't

79
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 3: there together. So it's not like they weren't trying. And

80
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 3: Jane McDaniel's and all of them were great, but at

81
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 3: the same time, it just it really just can't happen.

82
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 3: It just strictly can't happen. And Booker and Bial there's

83
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 3: one possession where they both had the ball and they decided, Okay,

84
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 3: we're gonna do a little playmaking and then we're not

85
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 3: gonna shoot. We're not gonna go after it. We'll just pass.

86
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 3: They drew Ubanks again, I mean the U Banks again.

87
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 3: There's so much They lost a game where Edwards and

88
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 3: Town scored a combined twenty seven points. It's freaking hard

89
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 3: to do. It. Just wasn't there. Four minutes left, Sorry,

90
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 3: last thing, last thing. I'm ranting because it was just surprising,

91
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,719
Speaker 3: but four minutes left, down seventeen, Frank Vogel cleared the bench.

92
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 3: He said, okay, David Ridy, hot body, you get in here.

93
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 3: Little you get it, Josh Cooy, you get it, and

94
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 3: then it was down seventeen. Durant did hit a bucket

95
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 3: that forced the Timberl's call timeout, so it was fifteen

96
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:46,840
Speaker 3: points and then the son said, you know what, we

97
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 3: want to go back in. We all want to go

98
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,480
Speaker 3: back starters. One went went back in. Okay, you're gonna

99
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:53,280
Speaker 3: put fourth effort now. The two minutes later it was

100
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,039
Speaker 3: just over again, and then those dudes got to play

101
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 3: not a lot of effort, especially with Grace Nollen going

102
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 3: down again with a an ankle injury. Those dudes at

103
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 3: the top just weren't trying enough. So yeah, we got

104
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 3: the deuces. The sorry, the game two deuces won by

105
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 3: the road team and the other ones, but in this

106
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:15,159
Speaker 3: one this was it a dud for the Suns anyway.

107
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:18,039
Speaker 4: Yeah, tass is right. The Sun's big three only scored

108
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 4: fifty two points on forty five shots. That's not going

109
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:21,920
Speaker 4: to cut it. We saw when they went two to

110
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,279
Speaker 4: two against the Nuggets last year it was Booker and

111
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,160
Speaker 4: Durant combining for basically eighty points and back to back games.

112
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 4: So far in this series, when the going gets tough,

113
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 4: Phoenix hasn't been able to get going. They lack I

114
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:34,839
Speaker 4: don't know what it is, the cohesion. They didn't play

115
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 4: a ton of games together, these guys, right like, they

116
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,720
Speaker 4: don't know exactly what they can rely on. In Game one,

117
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:41,280
Speaker 4: at the end of the third quarter, a twenty one

118
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:44,479
Speaker 4: to five run for Minnesota basically ended the game. The

119
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 4: crowd got into it. Edwards is talking trash to KD.

120
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 4: Everything flipped Minnesota in that moment. Same thing happened in

121
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 4: this game. Game two, twelve oh run at the end

122
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 4: of the third quarter, crowd gets right into it once again.

123
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 4: Minnesota rides the momentum into the fourth quarter. They had

124
00:05:57,839 --> 00:05:59,720
Speaker 4: an eleven zero run, they had a six to zero run,

125
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,280
Speaker 4: and the Suns just didn't feel like they could get

126
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 4: back into it at all with effort or anything. It

127
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 4: was like way too much Drew you Banks, Like, I'm sorry,

128
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,159
Speaker 4: this guy shouldn't be taking two lefty hooks in the

129
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,280
Speaker 4: fourth quarter. He shouldn't be playing at the fourth quarter.

130
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, but also like too.

131
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 4: Much Nurkich, like Nurkic had more touches than Kevin Durant.

132
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 4: Kevin Durant took fifteen shots in this game. It's a

133
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:22,920
Speaker 4: it's almost like they forget that he's out there sometimes

134
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:25,719
Speaker 4: and KD I think like throughout his career, he's never

135
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 4: been a guy that's like I've got a mismatch. I

136
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:30,039
Speaker 4: got to have the ball every single time because he

137
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 4: likes to play the team game. He and he's a

138
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,280
Speaker 4: great like off ball player as well. But they need

139
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 4: to get him more involved because they're just not efficient

140
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 4: offensively and he's like got their best chance, he's got

141
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:42,280
Speaker 4: their best matchup. He's matched up with Towns quite a bit.

142
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:44,280
Speaker 4: Shout out the Towns. The guy's given it us all

143
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:46,840
Speaker 4: out there. He's making some dumb files and stuff, but

144
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 4: at least he's competing on that end. But it seems

145
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 4: like all the Sons want to do, run a switch,

146
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,160
Speaker 4: get go Beart onto somebody and attack Gobert. But Go

147
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 4: Beart is awesome, Like Go Beart is a good defensive player,

148
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 4: and they've got guys around him who make it tough

149
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 4: as well. There's got to be something else figured out

150
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 4: offensively for Phoenix.

151
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, Rudy through two games has been amazing. He has

152
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 2: definitely not been played off the floor. He's guarding everyone

153
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 2: that gets he gets matched on. He's hedging, he's switching,

154
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 2: he's dropping, he's obviously rebounding. He somehow lights out at

155
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 2: the free throw line, which is you know, found money

156
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 2: for Rudy Gobert and the Wolves. He's twelve or fourteen

157
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 2: at the line through two games. He is not a

158
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 2: good free throw shooter. I think he's a sixty four

159
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 2: percent free throw shooter during the season, but he's lights

160
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:27,239
Speaker 2: out there right now. He's been awesome. McDaniel's defense next level,

161
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 2: and even in a bad offensive game, and Cat for

162
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 2: that matter, you're right, there's effort there. Still Ant made

163
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 2: some great defensive plays. Obviously was still playmaking playing with

164
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 2: like an edge where you cannot say that for a

165
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 2: majority of these suns guys and like Durant, Yeah, I'd

166
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:44,119
Speaker 2: like to see him be a little more aggressive winding

167
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 2: the ball and attacking mismatches because everything sort of is

168
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 2: a mismatch. As great as McDaniels is defensively, but his

169
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 2: defense too, man, that was the whole thing. Like, there

170
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 2: were so many times where Kevin Durant's guy was.

171
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 4: Like blowing by him.

172
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 2: A lot of that, you know, McDaniels, there's a lot

173
00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:00,080
Speaker 2: of switches happening, and I get that the communication was poor,

174
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 2: but this guy, as great as he is defensively, McDaniel

175
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 2: should not be scoring twenty five points because it was Yeah,

176
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 2: he hit a couple threes, great. There were so many layups,

177
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 2: so many dunks where there's just like you can look

178
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 2: at the photos on Guiney Images and you got to

179
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 2: squint to find a Suns player even close to them.

180
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 2: It's wild, so bad, bad effort, and I got duped.

181
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 2: I got tricked by those Suns wins at the end

182
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 2: of the season against this team. Great matchup, they looked good.

183
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 2: They were fighting. Over the last what ten games of

184
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:32,319
Speaker 2: the season, they played a lot of good teams. Phoenix

185
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 2: did sort of got out of the play in you know,

186
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 2: a little lucky to do that, and just we thought, Okay,

187
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 2: maybe got to go a little reps going with their

188
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 2: big three, and this has not been the case. They've

189
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 2: been completely outplayed. And now the season comes down to

190
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:47,440
Speaker 2: Friday night Game three, like that'll decide everything. I'm not

191
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:50,319
Speaker 2: ready to say it's completely over, but you definitely don't

192
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 2: have a lot of confidence in them winning for the

193
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 2: next five.

194
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:55,560
Speaker 4: But Game three is everything here totally.

195
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 3: The Suns may come back and try in Game three.

196
00:08:58,600 --> 00:08:59,839
Speaker 3: It's a weird, freaking team.

197
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:01,440
Speaker 4: They may roll over and die.

198
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:07,080
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Uh. Listen defensively, when you see

199
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 3: Jane McDaniels and Mike Conley lead the team in shots,

200
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 3: I think they may be totally happy with that. They

201
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:17,439
Speaker 3: gave those guys open corners over and over and over,

202
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 3: and Conley and Jad and McDaniels shot open shots. And

203
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 3: je McDaniels had two great games in marcharies twenty six

204
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 3: point games, and I thought, wow, this, if they can

205
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 3: get this at the playoffs, then they're going to be awesome.

206
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 3: I didn't know it was coming. Last year. He broke

207
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:37,960
Speaker 3: his hand before the playoffs and and he wanted he

208
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 3: wanted this to be his return here, and it obviously happened.

209
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,559
Speaker 3: He didn't play against the Denver Nuggets last year, the

210
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 3: great game from him. I'm just more shocked at guys

211
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 3: not shooting shots on the Minnesota Timberwolves. Then the defense

212
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:55,840
Speaker 3: actually for me, because they were fine in a way,

213
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 3: you know, to on Anthony Edwards, to take away from him,

214
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:02,320
Speaker 3: to to show him bodies a lot of the time,

215
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:05,439
Speaker 3: and to deal with towns. They did okay, And again

216
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:08,440
Speaker 3: there were some guys who tried, and Nurkisch was throwing

217
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 3: his body around as much as possible. But as I said,

218
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 3: just numbers wise, just numbers wise, b B D beal

219
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 3: Booker Durant. Those dudes have to be shooting. They have

220
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:20,320
Speaker 3: to be shooting, and they well.

221
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:21,680
Speaker 2: In order to shoot, you have to have the ball

222
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:23,680
Speaker 2: in your hands. How many times did they just cough

223
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,080
Speaker 2: it up? Was that ball slippery or what? Last day?

224
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 2: They had nineteen turnovers, so many of them for Phoenix,

225
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 2: very careless, quite frankly, a lot of them unforced, and

226
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 2: then they usually resulted in the Wolves scoring in transition

227
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 2: on the other end, or at least getting fouled and

228
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:41,199
Speaker 2: going to the line. Minnesota won the points off turnovers

229
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 2: thirty one to two. That's a glaring difference in a

230
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 2: game that you know wasn't a forty point blowout. But

231
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 2: I went back and watched the turnovers because I was

232
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 2: like watching it live. I'm like, there are so many

233
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 2: times Booker is losing the ball. Bill is losing the ball.

234
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 2: So here's a handful of them. Booker lost the ball

235
00:10:58,160 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 2: trying to attack the rim in the first ninety seconds

236
00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 2: of the game. He just lost it. It just squirt

237
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 2: it out of his hands. And it wasn't the last

238
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 2: time in this game. Grayson Allen lost the ball trying

239
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 2: to attack the rim. Soon after that, Beal lost it

240
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 2: trying to attack the baseline, even though Rudy was right there.

241
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 2: I mean he was shading there. He went right into it,

242
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:16,840
Speaker 2: and he just lost it. Three fifty to go in

243
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:19,319
Speaker 2: the first half. Booker again, he just straight up loses

244
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:21,320
Speaker 2: the ball. A few minutes into the start of the

245
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:23,199
Speaker 2: third quarter, Beal steps out of bound. So that's a

246
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 2: little bit of a different one. That was that one

247
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:27,960
Speaker 2: you were talking about, Yeah, transition, Booker was pushing, Bal

248
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 2: was open, he was gonna shoot it. He stepped out

249
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:33,559
Speaker 2: of bounds. Started the fourth quarter. Nurkic dropped the ball

250
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:37,079
Speaker 2: after receiving it two feet from the rim, just dropped it,

251
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 2: and then they were going the other way. A few

252
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 2: minutes later, Booker throws the ball out of bounds trying

253
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 2: to find Bial. Remember there was like that miscommunication. I

254
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 2: think he thought bal was gonna maybe come out to

255
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:46,599
Speaker 2: the three point line. I think Bial thought he was

256
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 2: gonna maybe shade more to the corner. Booker just like

257
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 2: he just lobbed it out of bounds and like they

258
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:52,679
Speaker 2: were letting go of the rope there. I mean, it

259
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,080
Speaker 2: was falling apart. And so again those were just a

260
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:58,760
Speaker 2: handful of many more that it was just like and

261
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 2: and that part of that is just like intensity, a

262
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 2: little bit like obviously caring for the ball and going

263
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,840
Speaker 2: like the whistle got to them, the non calls got

264
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 2: to them. I thought Minnesota would be the fluster team possibly,

265
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:12,079
Speaker 2: and Conley talked about it heading into the series. We

266
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:14,200
Speaker 2: got to keep our head. Maybe we're not getting the calls.

267
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:16,199
Speaker 2: But it's been the opposite. It's been Phoenix. I think

268
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 2: that's been way more affected by how the game is

269
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 2: being called, sometimes tight, sometimes not. And it's I think

270
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 2: that you know, they just look unhinged here. So great

271
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:29,559
Speaker 2: game from Minnesota. Again, I don't want to gloss over McDaniels. Conley,

272
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 2: you said in the first half was keeping them in it.

273
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, those dudes twelve and twelve, those dudes, Yeah, Conley,

274
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:39,679
Speaker 3: McDaniels and Gobert at half and the other dudes had

275
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 3: combined seven for Edwards and Towns. So in the third

276
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:45,439
Speaker 3: quarter I thought there'd be a maybe a killer attitude

277
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 3: for the sunset was not there.

278
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 2: No, Trey was spot on. It was just like Game one,

279
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:53,320
Speaker 2: where the momentum started. That place was rocking and the

280
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:56,080
Speaker 2: Suns could never sort of stop stop that run, and

281
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:58,199
Speaker 2: it just continued as the game went on and got

282
00:12:58,200 --> 00:12:58,839
Speaker 2: bigger and bigger.

283
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:00,679
Speaker 4: If I like, and I think a great game honestly

284
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:02,679
Speaker 4: for Anthony Edwards on a night where he didn't shoot

285
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 4: very well at all. Three for twelve. They were pressuring him,

286
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 4: they were making mc bodies. He was just making easy

287
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 4: plays getting to other people. That's why Conley had such

288
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 4: a big game, That's why J. McDaniels had such a

289
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 4: big game in Game one. Towns was really awesome in

290
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 4: the post, and Edwards dominated the game. So Phoenix came

291
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:19,719
Speaker 4: out said, we got to take these guys away. And

292
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:22,080
Speaker 4: the Wolves actually got great performances from all of their

293
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:23,599
Speaker 4: role players to be able to win this one. I

294
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 4: think they call it a nas read game when somebody

295
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 4: out scores everybody else that I mean, you would think

296
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:32,439
Speaker 4: that Towns or Edwards would be the leading scorer here.

297
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 4: So Jaden Daniels final Jayden McDaniels finally got his first

298
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:37,679
Speaker 4: nas read game. There you go, first time out scoring

299
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 4: all those guys. He had a baseline spinning fade away jump.

300
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 2: That was crazy.

301
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:44,080
Speaker 3: You know, he was cooking at that point.

302
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 4: Yes, Like first half, I think he puts Durant in

303
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 4: the basket like on a just like bully ball. I

304
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:51,199
Speaker 4: was like, whoa, that's weird to see. And then I

305
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 4: don't think I've ever seen anybody take it a running,

306
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:57,080
Speaker 4: baseline fade away jumper and he nailed it no problem.

307
00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 2: That was impressive, and he did a good job to

308
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 2: you know, not punch another wall or punch another player

309
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:03,559
Speaker 2: because he got into it with Booker fairly early in

310
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 2: this game. I think he got a tech actually on

311
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 2: that exchange.

312
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, and he sort of had.

313
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 2: The crazy eyes going and he just sort of bottled it.

314
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:12,439
Speaker 2: Into obviously playing well and being locked in, and they

315
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 2: take it to a lead here. I mean, this is

316
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:16,560
Speaker 2: worst case scenario for Phoenix. Of course, we'll see what

317
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 2: happens on Friday night. Game three, But you suddenly got

318
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 2: the other podcast going forget the series. It's like, what

319
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 2: do they do? You trade booker?

320
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 4: I saw a lot of Kevin Durant photos.

321
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 2: Trade Kevin Durant. You can't trade Bradley Beeley, He's got

322
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 2: no trade cluse. It's like, what do you do because

323
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 2: you have this team and you know you're a second

324
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 2: Apron team, you have the new owner syndrome there still

325
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 2: in matt Ishbiah. He's not gonna live with this. Like,

326
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 2: if they get swept here, that's two playoff wins over

327
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 2: two seasons with some really good talent on your team.

328
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:49,120
Speaker 2: You know, is Vogel the fall guy? What do you do?

329
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 2: So this is like, oh my god, they better If

330
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 2: they get swept, it's gonna be a long summer for

331
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 2: Phoenix Suns fans.

332
00:14:56,600 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 4: But totally Game three, and you know how stuff can change.

333
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 4: Pivotal game.

334
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 3: Pivotal Game three, Yeah, for matt Ashpia and that team

335
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:07,840
Speaker 3: because they're paying what I'm looking at here, probably doing

336
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 3: some wrong math, but one hundred and eighty million to

337
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 3: their starting five, and it does suck that they lost

338
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 3: one guy from their starting five and Grace and Allen

339
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 3: which was a burrudal turned ankle, same ankle that he

340
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 3: hurt in Game one. He played through it. Yeah, I had.

341
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 3: I was sitting with Danielle on my couch and she

342
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 3: barely watches basketball with me, but that she looked up

343
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 3: when we saw that replay and that was Gurz and

344
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 3: she just she yelled at how did he walk off? Uh?

345
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 3: And yeah, it was so so they're missing him. And

346
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 3: that's why I was surprised to not see enough effort

347
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 3: from their top guys because actually their bench outscored the

348
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 3: Wolves bench, which is which is surprising. You brought up

349
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 3: Nosried Nikhil. Alexander Walker did a really good job against

350
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 3: Devin Booker. He did again again defensively, he is they

351
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 3: put up multiple guys on Devin Booker and Bradley Beal

352
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 3: is not making them pay as the other guy, which

353
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 3: is what happened in those three games this season. Well

354
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 3: two games be a miss one but anyway, Uh sucks,

355
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 3: It sucks, Yeah Matterstria might get these guys on the

356
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 3: phone sell some mortgages or something. You know, they gotta

357
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 3: make money somewhere else. Second job, Yeah, why not interesting? Interesting?

358
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 2: Well, we can wait to talk about the Phoenix Suns,

359
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 2: you know, off season. Yeah, dilemma moves that they can make,

360
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 2: should make, Yeah, trade one of their stars. Let's just

361
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 2: wait until I guess after the weekend. We're gonna come

362
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 2: back on Monday. Series is gonna be three to one,

363
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 2: It's gonna be over. Yeah, it's gonna be two two.

364
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 2: Those are only three options because they play Friday and Sunday.

365
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 2: You make a good pint, So we'll talk about the

366
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:39,800
Speaker 2: Sun's probably in greater detail on Monday. Any other notes

367
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 2: from this game, any random moments, anything you got?

368
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, I thought Rudy Gobert was hilarious in this game,

369
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 4: clearly feeling himself. He did a eurostep and got an

370
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 4: and one in the first quarter. Yeah, did go to

371
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 4: the line and missed the free throw after it got reviewed,

372
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 4: but you can tell he was like going for highlights.

373
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 4: At one point, he gets like trapped on the baseline

374
00:16:57,760 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 4: and throws a no look hook pass to the corner

375
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 4: right on the money. He threw another noe look bounce pass.

376
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:05,200
Speaker 4: I think it was the talents for a reverse in

377
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 4: the short role. I've never seen these passes. He's trying

378
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:11,879
Speaker 4: to be cool. Tim McMahon wrote an article about him

379
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:14,480
Speaker 4: about like basically how nobody in the NBA likes him,

380
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 4: and he had to go hang out in the darkness

381
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 4: Aaron Rodgers's tidle for three straight days and apparently when

382
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:21,639
Speaker 4: he was there, all he learned was I'm doing sick passes.

383
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:27,120
Speaker 4: When I get that, you don't think I'm sweet. Watch

384
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 4: of this.

385
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:32,560
Speaker 2: I also I did not stop laughing at Anthony Edwards

386
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:35,679
Speaker 2: wapping up the official when the ref had his arm

387
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:38,639
Speaker 2: out to tell him, like, hey, move down for the imbounce.

388
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 2: It gives him a great dap, very funny and curly

389
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:45,360
Speaker 2: has the New Towns ban.

390
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 4: I I laugh.

391
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:50,400
Speaker 2: So much anytime this guy gets a bad foul call

392
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 2: on him, and a lot of them are usually warranted

393
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:54,919
Speaker 2: because he's just like he doesn't seem to know the

394
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:58,719
Speaker 2: strength of himself for how his body works. Sometimes he

395
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:03,479
Speaker 2: does the great just like Toddler stomp off to a

396
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:05,640
Speaker 2: bad call on him. He does it all the time.

397
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:09,240
Speaker 4: He does. He has great fatial. He actually stops away hard.

398
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 3: Can't believe it.

399
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:14,000
Speaker 4: It just makes me laugh every time. It didn't matter

400
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:14,359
Speaker 4: in the end.

401
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:16,720
Speaker 2: I mean he played with effort despite being in foul trouble.

402
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 2: But yeah, Minnesota up to Oh you got anything else

403
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:20,480
Speaker 2: on this one?

404
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 3: Nah? But the Edwards and Durant thing we saw in

405
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 3: game one, we got one play of that in this

406
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 3: game where he scored on Durant and it look cool.

407
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:33,359
Speaker 3: That's about it. I mean Edwards didn't go all out

408
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 3: and you know, mimic him or talk trash to him

409
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:39,159
Speaker 3: like he did in Game one, and he had a

410
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 3: quiet night shooting the bow, only only three makes as

411
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:44,240
Speaker 3: Trey was going through there, but he was hitting the

412
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:46,840
Speaker 3: right guys and those guys were hitting shots, so he

413
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 3: didn't need to. Yeah, they had six guys in double digits.

414
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:52,119
Speaker 3: That's the thing about this Timberwolves team. They are a

415
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:54,720
Speaker 3: better team. They have a unity that the Suns have

416
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 3: not shown unfortunately to this point. Hopefully they do on Friday,

417
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:01,440
Speaker 3: I mean like a series fight.

418
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, for sure.

419
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:06,919
Speaker 2: All right, let's keep it going here. Because the Pacers

420
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:09,520
Speaker 2: did their job. They got the split in Milwaukee, and

421
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 2: they were led by Pascal Siakam. He was awesome. Pacers

422
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 2: put up one hundred and twenty five points won away

423
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 2: from Milwaukee, so that evens the series. Seems like Siakam

424
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 2: is the main takeaway from this game. This guy's doing

425
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:26,480
Speaker 2: things that we haven't seen since Wilt Chamberlain. What first

426
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:29,400
Speaker 2: player to open a postseason with consecutive thirty five point

427
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 2: ten rebound performances since Wilt in nineteen sixty seven?

428
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 4: What see? Yeah?

429
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 2: This high, it's a lot of thirty five and ten,

430
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,280
Speaker 2: but it's never happened since Wilt. In the first two

431
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:47,320
Speaker 2: game of the postseason, shack crazy, It's crazy, but uh

432
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 2: Siaka Man thirty seven points, eleven boards, sixteen to twenty three,

433
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:55,639
Speaker 2: six assists, zero turnovers. Guy was really really good and

434
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 2: set the tone for Indiana here.

435
00:19:57,520 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's no Yannis out there. He's the only guy

436
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:03,479
Speaker 4: on the Bucks who could possibly influence anything with Pascal

437
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 4: Siakam because everybody else is a really poor matchup for

438
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:09,359
Speaker 4: in Brook Lopez too slow, Bobby portis too slow, everybody

439
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:12,919
Speaker 4: else too small. So basically, anytime the Pacers saw mismatch,

440
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:15,480
Speaker 4: just chuck it in. I love that because I've felt

441
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:18,600
Speaker 4: like so far this season they haven't necessarily found out

442
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:20,920
Speaker 4: how to integrate Pascal Siakam into their offense. They just

443
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 4: wanted to be a cog in this running thing. But

444
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:25,600
Speaker 4: the reason they got Siakama is for when games slowed down,

445
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 4: we can just go out and get a bucket, even

446
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:29,639
Speaker 4: if it looks weird. The game didn't slow down at

447
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 4: all in this one, and Siakam was still just getting

448
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:34,720
Speaker 4: bucket after bucket after bucket. Loved to see the Pacers

449
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:37,120
Speaker 4: living up to their name, pushing the pace. They were

450
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 4: running at every opportunity missus of course makes. They were

451
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 4: running on fourteen to five fast break points for Indiana

452
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:47,040
Speaker 4: seems low to me, but they also outscored the Bucks

453
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:49,879
Speaker 4: fifty two to thirty six inside the paint. Thirty eight

454
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 4: assists on fifty makes. That happens like twice a playoffs

455
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 4: a team gets to that level of assists. They looked awesome.

456
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:57,520
Speaker 4: Part of it was just making shots like Game one

457
00:20:57,560 --> 00:20:59,359
Speaker 4: eight for thirty eight from three in this to one

458
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:01,800
Speaker 4: Game two fifteen to thirty four. But I just thought

459
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 4: they were much more playing Pacers basketball. Once again, Halliburton

460
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:08,840
Speaker 4: was in much more control, I thought this game. In

461
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:10,879
Speaker 4: game one when he was getting trapped getting rid of

462
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:13,720
Speaker 4: the ball, making the right play, but a little bit passive.

463
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 4: It never really got back to him in this one.

464
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:17,359
Speaker 4: He would hold onto the ball a little bit longer,

465
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 4: he would probe a little bit more. There's a lot

466
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:21,639
Speaker 4: of times when he would kick it to Miles Turner,

467
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:23,160
Speaker 4: he would just go back and get it and get

468
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 4: back into the offense. I thought he was much more aggressive,

469
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 4: much more poised than This is why it looked like

470
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:31,120
Speaker 4: the regular season rather than Game one, where it looked

471
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:32,880
Speaker 4: like the Pacers were scared of the playoffs.

472
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:35,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, were you getting a little misty eyed watching Siakam

473
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:37,639
Speaker 2: Cook there? Takings back to those Raptors' days.

474
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 3: I couldn't. I couldn't cry because he was just so balanced.

475
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 3: There were he didn't just he didn't just run you

476
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 3: over with fifteen straight. He hit you with each quarter,

477
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 3: a nice balance nine, twelve, then eight, then eight. Well,

478
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 3: so the thirty seven.

479
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:55,679
Speaker 4: Michael Jordan's thing, isn't it?

480
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:57,960
Speaker 2: Didn't MG always say that it's easy to get thirty

481
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:00,159
Speaker 2: score eight a quarter and you're gonna averge thirty two.

482
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:05,160
Speaker 4: Thought that was said it was low for MJ. That's

483
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:06,440
Speaker 4: a good point.

484
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:10,280
Speaker 3: But yeah, the fact that they're running it down the

485
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:15,200
Speaker 3: buck's throat was very clear in this game, and Siakam, Yeah,

486
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:17,800
Speaker 3: he benefited from that because he was balanced. And he

487
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:19,920
Speaker 3: got interviewed. It was Denni Scott who interviewed him after

488
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 3: the game, right, who said, you've never had back to

489
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:24,120
Speaker 3: back thirty point games in the playoffs. He said, aw,

490
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 3: I didn't know that. I didn't know that. Even being

491
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:29,160
Speaker 3: a Raptors fan, I saw thirty point games. I saw

492
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:32,359
Speaker 3: him do well against the Milwaukee Bucks. But really this

493
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 3: was the Pacers running it down their throats over and

494
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:37,600
Speaker 3: over and over. I am surprised that it was only

495
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:42,359
Speaker 3: fourteen transition points because everybody was doing it. Guys named

496
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 3: Ben Shephard.

497
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:47,439
Speaker 2: Were doing what a pretty finish from Ben's mustache, Oh

498
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 2: my goodness.

499
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:52,359
Speaker 3: Andrew Mhart was running by Damian Lillard won possession. He

500
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:54,680
Speaker 3: was just hitting open shots, baseline cuts. You know, they're

501
00:22:54,720 --> 00:23:00,679
Speaker 3: just sprinting. They're running sprits. Sprints, not sprits. And like

502
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:03,640
Speaker 3: Lillard had a good game in this one, he did.

503
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 2: Another awesome first half.

504
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:06,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, fifteen first quarter.

505
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:08,360
Speaker 4: Time it's flipped.

506
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:10,600
Speaker 3: Yeah it starts in the first quarter. Yeah, first half.

507
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:12,639
Speaker 3: For the only time he scored points in the in

508
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 3: game one very strange. Yeah, they just seem flat. They

509
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 3: seem flat defensively. That's and I know Doc said it

510
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 3: was our offense really that led to bad defense. But

511
00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:25,440
Speaker 3: they just they weren't all over it. They just weren't

512
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:28,640
Speaker 3: ready to sprint with the boys with Obi who and

513
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:32,200
Speaker 3: Ben and Andrew I just like saying their first names.

514
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:34,639
Speaker 3: But those guys had all all of it working. And

515
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 3: again a game where Tyre's Aliburn only had twelve points

516
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 3: and you can win. It's because all those guys are

517
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:44,359
Speaker 3: looking like they did in the regular season. They all

518
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:49,439
Speaker 3: contributed besides him. Seven guys contributing besides Tyre's Aliburn. So

519
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:51,679
Speaker 3: that's why this this thing is one one and it's

520
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 3: gonna be a long series.

521
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:53,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think you're right.

522
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 2: We'll find out if when Giannis returns. Is it doesn't

523
00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:59,400
Speaker 2: sound like it'll be game three, Is it possible game four,

524
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:02,680
Speaker 2: Is it more likely when the series comes back to Milwaukee,

525
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 2: or at all? We really don't know. The Pacer snapped

526
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 2: a ten game playoff losing streak that began with a

527
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 2: Game seven loss to Cleveland in the twenty eighteen first

528
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:14,880
Speaker 2: round series, so it's been a while since they've got

529
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:17,240
Speaker 2: a playoff win, so good for them. And just one

530
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:19,879
Speaker 2: more note on Siakam. The balance actually to what you

531
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 2: were talking about tasks. First half, he's like the release valve.

532
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:25,880
Speaker 2: He's the guy in the corner and he hit three

533
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 2: triples splashing him. Second half, he's the damn Fawcett right,

534
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:31,960
Speaker 2: they had him working in the middle. He was controlling

535
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:33,880
Speaker 2: the flow of the game. I got missed the ad

536
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:37,080
Speaker 2: because of those little push, funky little shots he has inside.

537
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:42,840
Speaker 2: He was continually just not driving immediately by Brook Lopez.

538
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 2: But you know, Siakam does this thing where you like

539
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:45,919
Speaker 2: he gets the ball in the wing and he like

540
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:48,320
Speaker 2: backs up a step and then he goes and he

541
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:50,320
Speaker 2: was just like putting his body into Brook and then

542
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:53,320
Speaker 2: flipping it up over him, and then he was splashing

543
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:55,760
Speaker 2: it out to guys either up top and whilst turner

544
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 2: other guys in the corner. Again, the six assists, the

545
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 2: zero turnovers. He just played a perfect game, perfect scoring,

546
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:06,040
Speaker 2: passing obviously, you know, tied for game high and rebounding there.

547
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:09,080
Speaker 2: I think with Portis was eleven. Just an overall incredible game.

548
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 2: From the argument, that's just tray, You're right, this is

549
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 2: why they got him you got a guy like this

550
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:16,119
Speaker 2: for these postseason matchups because you know he's he's proven

551
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:18,480
Speaker 2: it before that he's he's got some reps under his

552
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:18,920
Speaker 2: belt too.

553
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:21,640
Speaker 4: That helps. He's better than Jay Crowder and Pat Connison. Yeah,

554
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:23,960
Speaker 4: I'll give you that. Yeah, And I would say last

555
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:27,119
Speaker 4: night Bobby Portis was brutal and brook Lopez was brutal,

556
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:30,680
Speaker 4: like they couldn't the Bucks couldn't really trust either of them,

557
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 4: like they needed Brooks offense. He was hitting threes at

558
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:36,960
Speaker 4: six of them last night, but so slow in transition.

559
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:39,080
Speaker 4: And then Bobby Portis just did not have a good game.

560
00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:41,880
Speaker 4: He he was making a ton of mistakes on defense

561
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:45,960
Speaker 4: and he just didn't look locked in for this one.

562
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:49,040
Speaker 4: So this was worst case scenario for Milwaukee, I thought,

563
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:52,680
Speaker 4: where they just look completely outclassed athletically because the Pacers

564
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:55,239
Speaker 4: were flying. They were flying, and they did a good

565
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:58,240
Speaker 4: job Rick Carlisle did of not playing literally everybody on

566
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:00,679
Speaker 4: their roster. They basically played eight guys. It's unlike in

567
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:02,439
Speaker 4: Game one and they played eleven I think in the

568
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:03,000
Speaker 4: first quarter.

569
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:07,920
Speaker 3: Sorry, Isaiah, Yeah, we'll see if a man Mark Dagnault

570
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,879
Speaker 3: repeats that with Okac because he played eleven that's a

571
00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:13,280
Speaker 3: lot of guys I think you get is lessen it

572
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 3: a little bit. Maybe eleven on okac are good though

573
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:17,480
Speaker 3: they are good. They are good.

574
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:19,040
Speaker 4: I want Aarons out there.

575
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:22,320
Speaker 3: I want more Aaron Wiggins than Gordon Gordon. Ah is

576
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:24,960
Speaker 3: not playing great offense right now. He's not defensively. They're fine,

577
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:27,520
Speaker 3: They're all trying. I was surprised to see guys who

578
00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:30,320
Speaker 3: won the championship three friaking years ago, Chris Middleton and

579
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 3: Brook Lopez. They just had a brain fart together and

580
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:35,119
Speaker 3: they had a miscommunication where the Pacers get a layup

581
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:37,760
Speaker 3: in a half court set. I mean, how how they've

582
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 3: been playing together for so long, how do you miss communicate?

583
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:42,159
Speaker 3: How do you not get the ball in and have

584
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:45,960
Speaker 3: a five seconds call? Eight minutes left in the fourth quarter.

585
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:50,160
Speaker 3: You're in the back court. It's there's not pressure by

586
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:52,680
Speaker 3: any means. Damian Lillard was just running a different cut.

587
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:56,000
Speaker 3: I guess Chris Middleton wasn't ready for it. Fans left

588
00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:59,000
Speaker 3: that game at Pfizer for him midway through the fourth

589
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:03,200
Speaker 3: They're done way through the fourth home game. That was surprised.

590
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:05,159
Speaker 3: It was all surprising to see, and there's just too

591
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:07,639
Speaker 3: much happening. I guess that's why I couldn't cry for Siakam.

592
00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:11,000
Speaker 3: Probably I just wasn't overwhelmed. There's wasn't enough. No, I

593
00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:15,119
Speaker 3: didn't notice all the rebounds. Actually, he just he was

594
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:19,639
Speaker 3: scoring against everybody. I don't think I will remember a

595
00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 3: single basket from this game when it all comes down

596
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:24,440
Speaker 3: to it. What was the great Siakam move in this game?

597
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:26,560
Speaker 3: When he went by Brooke over and over and over again,

598
00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:30,040
Speaker 3: When he scored over Middleton, when he went through Lillard, Hey,

599
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:33,480
Speaker 3: Drake Crowder, let's try you. That obviously didn't work multiple times.

600
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:37,399
Speaker 3: There wasn't anything sexy, but that's what Siakam does. He

601
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:40,159
Speaker 3: just scores over and over and they need Yians desperately

602
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:43,280
Speaker 3: because him against Bobby ports that's the primary matchup in

603
00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:46,240
Speaker 3: this one. That's who's supposed to be stopping him. It

604
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:46,960
Speaker 3: ain't gonna work.

605
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:48,720
Speaker 4: I was.

606
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:50,720
Speaker 3: I was a little surprised. I thought Bobby could, but

607
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:52,840
Speaker 3: the lateral movement ain't there, So yeah, it's got to

608
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:53,399
Speaker 3: come back for that.

609
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:55,200
Speaker 2: So early in the third quarter, we had a little

610
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 2: minor incident. I guess it was between Nemhard and Patrick

611
00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:01,440
Speaker 2: Beverley and Bobby Portis. Then got into like a clapping

612
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:06,160
Speaker 2: match with Tyrese Haliburton and Nemhard. That's the best way

613
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:08,760
Speaker 2: to call it that, And he said Bobby Portus after

614
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:12,000
Speaker 2: the game quote, I mean, just quite frankly, their front runners, Bro,

615
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 2: y'all can just tweet that or whatever it is.

616
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 3: Bro.

617
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:18,399
Speaker 2: When the shit going good, they laugh and clapping and

618
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:21,159
Speaker 2: all that. When it's going bad, they not saying nothing.

619
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:25,399
Speaker 2: So Bobby calling the Pacers' front runners, which we love this.

620
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:28,720
Speaker 2: We always want this as we get further and further

621
00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:32,240
Speaker 2: into these series, as the animosity kicks up a notch here.

622
00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:33,680
Speaker 2: So that's what Bobby's saying.

623
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:36,679
Speaker 3: I wanted a Bobby tech or flagrant because I have

624
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 3: drafted him in our Instigator draft. We'll get to a

625
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:43,440
Speaker 3: little later in the show. Nothing from Bobby p No.

626
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 2: Just clapping, hard claps. We want a half a point

627
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:49,160
Speaker 2: for a hard clap in somebody's face. Yeah, all right,

628
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:51,760
Speaker 2: anything else on Peter's box. Okay, let's go to the

629
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:54,239
Speaker 2: final game from last night. It was the Nightcap. It

630
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:57,160
Speaker 2: was Luca and Kyrie leading the MAVs over the Clippers

631
00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 2: ninety six ninety three. I thought this was a very

632
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 2: weird game. Oh yeah, A very ugly game at times,

633
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:05,360
Speaker 2: but they tied their series at one game apiece in

634
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:09,040
Speaker 2: a game in which Kawhi Leonard returned. But what do

635
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:11,360
Speaker 2: you want to start with from the MAVs win here?

636
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:15,200
Speaker 3: You want to go quarter by quarter because the weirdness

637
00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:16,400
Speaker 3: level started at the beginning.

638
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:17,120
Speaker 4: It was weird game.

639
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:19,240
Speaker 3: I will say just the effort of the Dallas Mavericks

640
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 3: in that first quarter was awesome. That that started things

641
00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:25,480
Speaker 3: for them, and it just didn't stop. It really started

642
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:27,200
Speaker 3: with Luca getting down. I've never seen him in a

643
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 3: lower defensive position ever. I mean, he really got down

644
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:35,000
Speaker 3: everybody blocking shots in that first quarter for them, everybody.

645
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:37,040
Speaker 3: They had five blocks in that first quarter. Seeing the

646
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 3: peach PJ. Washington supposed to be their you know, the

647
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 3: third guy. This is peak J Washington, he was, That's

648
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:45,640
Speaker 3: what they traded for him. This is what he was

649
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 3: so good. We'll get to the offense later. But I

650
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:49,440
Speaker 3: thought the defense at the beginning of the game, where

651
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:51,240
Speaker 3: he was helping out two blocks in that first quarter,

652
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:52,240
Speaker 3: this team.

653
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:55,480
Speaker 2: They looked like a desperate team. Hey Phoenix, take note,

654
00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:58,080
Speaker 2: you're down one, oh, you really should try and win

655
00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:00,920
Speaker 2: this game. At least put four some energy and some

656
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:04,200
Speaker 2: effort and try and punch first. And yeah, they at

657
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:06,479
Speaker 2: least did that defensively because a lot of shots were

658
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:08,160
Speaker 2: not falling from either of these teams. But it's a

659
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 2: good point. Sorry to cut you off.

660
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:12,280
Speaker 3: No, no, it was weird. Yeah, it was weird.

661
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:15,560
Speaker 4: I was like, the lower third chairoime for this team

662
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:18,520
Speaker 4: hasn't scored in X amount of minutes, was getting worn

663
00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:22,240
Speaker 4: out coming up so many times. I'm like, whoa man,

664
00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:24,560
Speaker 4: the MAVs haven't scored for four minutes, and then four

665
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:27,160
Speaker 4: minutes later it was the Clippers haven't scored for four minutes.

666
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:30,160
Speaker 4: Just felt like that all night. You're right, it was

667
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:32,480
Speaker 4: the defense that did it. Luca's defense was great. I

668
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:35,440
Speaker 4: thought Kyrie Irving did a really good job on James Harden,

669
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:37,720
Speaker 4: like pressuring the ball. He got a steal from behind

670
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:40,280
Speaker 4: as well. I saw that ESPN stats and infos and

671
00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:43,040
Speaker 4: the Clippers shot two of seventeen from the floor when

672
00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:45,720
Speaker 4: Luka Dancic was the primary defender. They're calling this guy

673
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:46,360
Speaker 4: white claw.

674
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:52,200
Speaker 3: Now, Oh that's good.

675
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's bad, very good. It's not bad. Shout out

676
00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:59,600
Speaker 4: to Jason Gallagher. I saw him. I didn't see that

677
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:03,960
Speaker 4: the white claw. He was fired up, though, and he

678
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:07,400
Speaker 4: was doing enough defensively that when the game turned in

679
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:10,520
Speaker 4: the fourth quarter, Luca hit a couple of big shots,

680
00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:13,440
Speaker 4: a big like twelve ohero run basically for the MAVs

681
00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:16,200
Speaker 4: when they went slow. Zubats wasn't nearly as effective in

682
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:18,120
Speaker 4: this game. Eventually got played off the floor in the

683
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 4: fourth quarter because Maxi Kleiba was great in this one.

684
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:23,160
Speaker 4: He can be a up, he can be a down,

685
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:25,120
Speaker 4: but they need him to be good, especially because Gafford

686
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:26,800
Speaker 4: went out with an injury, so they just rode the

687
00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:29,160
Speaker 4: small ball lineup, and their small ball lineup was a

688
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:32,520
Speaker 4: lot better than the Clippers were last night. I guess,

689
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:34,479
Speaker 4: I guess when they go small, it feels like the

690
00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:37,760
Speaker 4: MAVs somehow have a little bit more size than La does.

691
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 4: Because La has to play man. They got to play

692
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 4: Westbrook yep. And Harden. I mean, he's a bigger dude,

693
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:45,600
Speaker 4: but like he's gonna be on the perimeter as well,

694
00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:47,520
Speaker 4: So I don't know. I like that. You called it

695
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:51,560
Speaker 4: peak jumper, peak jumper Washington, all right, good because the

696
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:54,520
Speaker 4: first three quarters he was pu Washington. Yeah yeah, but

697
00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:56,040
Speaker 4: then he scored ten of his eighteen in the fourth

698
00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:59,480
Speaker 4: and his two monster threes peak jumper. It is because

699
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:04,320
Speaker 4: I was thinking PG Washington, pretty good, pretty good jump.

700
00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:05,760
Speaker 3: Better than Yeah, that's all he has to be with

701
00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:07,760
Speaker 3: when you're playing with Kyrie and Luca, just be pretty good.

702
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:10,640
Speaker 3: And that's why they traded for him, and that's why

703
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:12,760
Speaker 3: they traded for Daniel gaffer To see Dan Gafford go

704
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:14,640
Speaker 3: down with an injury and Derek Lively come in and

705
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:18,520
Speaker 3: be enough was awesome. And Kleiba was so good. Nobody's

706
00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 3: gonna talk about Cleeba, but he was so good defensively.

707
00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:22,520
Speaker 4: He hit one of.

708
00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:24,480
Speaker 2: Those big threes in the fourth as well. He got

709
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:26,800
Speaker 2: that huge offensive rebound where Luca was going nuts for

710
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 2: He was loving that. He played great. He played twenty

711
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 2: eight minutes Kleeba did. Yeah, And part of that's Gafford's injury.

712
00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:33,800
Speaker 2: There's also the Tim Hardaway junior injury, so his minutes

713
00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 2: were limited. That's, you know, fine. They had been getting

714
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 2: more and more limited as the season went on. But

715
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:39,720
Speaker 2: I think, you know that's sort of good news maybe

716
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:41,880
Speaker 2: for Kid. The decision is made, it's like, all right,

717
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:43,680
Speaker 2: we can just go. We like Josh Green maybe a

718
00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:46,760
Speaker 2: little bit more athleticism than Tim Hardaway junior in this

719
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:49,920
Speaker 2: role defensively for sure too. So yeah, this was a

720
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:52,240
Speaker 2: it was a fight like and it was far from over.

721
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:54,320
Speaker 2: There were so many times where I was like, oh

722
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:56,840
Speaker 2: my god, the mass might be going down two oh

723
00:32:56,880 --> 00:33:01,080
Speaker 2: here because Clippers are hanging around Kawi doing just enough.

724
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:02,480
Speaker 4: What did you think of Kawhi? Let's get to that.

725
00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:04,520
Speaker 2: You know, obviously, his first game back in a long time.

726
00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:08,320
Speaker 2: The Buck scores not bad. A lot of shots were

727
00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:10,960
Speaker 2: coming up short, which maybe to be expected. But would

728
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:13,000
Speaker 2: you think, how would you a great Kawi's first game

729
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:13,400
Speaker 2: back here?

730
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:16,440
Speaker 4: I'd probably give him like a C. Plus he looks

731
00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:20,240
Speaker 4: super rusty to me. Seventeen free or seventeen field goal attempts,

732
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:22,840
Speaker 4: he made seven of them, fifteen points. Didn't make a three,

733
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:26,120
Speaker 4: But in general I thought he was moving pretty well

734
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:28,040
Speaker 4: and tired out as the night went on. But I

735
00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:30,400
Speaker 4: guess he hadn't played in what like nearly two months

736
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:32,680
Speaker 4: a month and a half at the very least. But

737
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:34,560
Speaker 4: I think he'll get better. I think it was good

738
00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:35,800
Speaker 4: to see him out there, and to be able to

739
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:38,920
Speaker 4: play a huge chunk of minutes was encouraging because you

740
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:40,760
Speaker 4: have to imagine he's going to get into a rhythm

741
00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:42,560
Speaker 4: as the series goes longer and longer, because this one

742
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:44,840
Speaker 4: doesn't feel like it's going to be done in five games.

743
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:48,160
Speaker 4: A reverse gentleman or anything like that. But good stuff.

744
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 4: I was good to see Kawhi back, like to the

745
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:51,960
Speaker 4: point where you're like, oh, yeah, I remember this guy,

746
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:53,800
Speaker 4: Like he gets a steal from behind and takes it

747
00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:55,680
Speaker 4: down for a dunk, that kind of stuff. Just he

748
00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:57,200
Speaker 4: looks like Kawai at times.

749
00:33:57,560 --> 00:34:01,720
Speaker 3: At times for sure, when Dallas would zoom out and say,

750
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:05,360
Speaker 3: you know, we got plowed by a non Kawhi team

751
00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:08,160
Speaker 3: in game one, a game without Kauai, and then we

752
00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:12,200
Speaker 3: beat them with Kauwhi, it seems flipped. It seems wrong.

753
00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:14,799
Speaker 3: But at the same time, they weren't ready for game

754
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:17,080
Speaker 3: one like they were ready for Game two, and so

755
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:22,080
Speaker 3: that was where it changed. Kawhi's shots were contested, but

756
00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:24,360
Speaker 3: they just weren't going home. I thought he should have

757
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:25,799
Speaker 3: been found a little bit more. He was calm for

758
00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:28,759
Speaker 3: the ball in the fourth quarter when that Kirn was

759
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:31,360
Speaker 3: ticking up and up and up for the Clippers minute

760
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:33,360
Speaker 3: after minute after minute where they did not score, no

761
00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:36,160
Speaker 3: field goal and whatever was five minutes it was a

762
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:39,400
Speaker 3: long time they were going to Norm was trying to

763
00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:40,440
Speaker 3: be hot off the bench.

764
00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:43,400
Speaker 2: He missed a couple that he definitely could make. Yeah,

765
00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:45,440
Speaker 2: that one three, But then he came up short on

766
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:48,520
Speaker 2: a little classic Norm floater. There ye missed another wide

767
00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:49,080
Speaker 2: open look.

768
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:51,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, I missed a contested one too, where he looked

769
00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:53,600
Speaker 3: like he was trying to try and do a heat check,

770
00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:56,400
Speaker 3: and I thought Kawhi should shoot it. But that's just me.

771
00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:59,640
Speaker 3: That's the team that's playing together at the same time.

772
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:01,440
Speaker 3: I do think their size isn't a problem as you

773
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:04,200
Speaker 3: brought up with the Mavericks, because they really they're fine

774
00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:07,279
Speaker 3: at the five with Zubots and plumb Lee, but they

775
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:09,880
Speaker 3: are a little there are a little small, a small

776
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:14,279
Speaker 3: team beyond you know, the five, so dask can hang

777
00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:16,560
Speaker 3: with them. It's great. It's just a great series.

778
00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:19,600
Speaker 4: We do you think this one's going long? Do you like?

779
00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:21,720
Speaker 2: It feels like you could see like a split happening

780
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:23,440
Speaker 2: also in Dallas, And then suddenly we had a three

781
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:26,719
Speaker 2: game series, a big pivotal game five. Ione call it.

782
00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:30,919
Speaker 3: As Westbrook doesn't double, don't double one pass away from

783
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:33,719
Speaker 3: Kyrie Irving, come on, come on.

784
00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:37,400
Speaker 2: An interesting decision, But Yeah, the MAVs hit the timelier

785
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:39,399
Speaker 2: shots in this. I thought Paul Geordan was gonna pull

786
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:40,880
Speaker 2: it out at the end when he sort of went

787
00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:43,479
Speaker 2: on a little mini run there where he was either

788
00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:46,719
Speaker 2: scoring or he was setting up zubots. Get a couple

789
00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:49,600
Speaker 2: of beautiful setups to him late, but it was too little,

790
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:53,000
Speaker 2: too late, and man, Luca was he was fired up.

791
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:55,520
Speaker 3: Eh yeah, screaming.

792
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:58,160
Speaker 2: I feel like all night, Like again, good you want

793
00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:00,680
Speaker 2: to see that from your start, trying to like, you know,

794
00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:03,360
Speaker 2: you didn't have an incredible shooting game and took some

795
00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:05,680
Speaker 2: weird ones, but you're like he was putting forth the

796
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:08,480
Speaker 2: effort defensively and just like, come on, we need this.

797
00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:10,239
Speaker 2: Like he was playing like it was Game seven in

798
00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:13,239
Speaker 2: the NBA Finals, playing hard, screaming at the crowd, talking

799
00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:15,799
Speaker 2: junk to them so they got it done. Anything else

800
00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:17,680
Speaker 2: on clips MAVs.

801
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:20,920
Speaker 4: I almost lost my lunch when Luka Dancic threw that

802
00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:26,960
Speaker 4: bounce pass, look and bounce pass. I guess he looked

803
00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:30,000
Speaker 4: off Terrence Man just enough to send him going one way,

804
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:32,560
Speaker 4: and it's just like squibbled right by his little fingy

805
00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:35,680
Speaker 4: fingies and then it worked out nice because he was

806
00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:38,239
Speaker 4: able to like run more clock because there's nobody around him.

807
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:40,640
Speaker 3: Wow. That was a scary one, that one right at

808
00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:44,000
Speaker 3: the end there where Terrence Man was just enough on

809
00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:46,640
Speaker 3: his heels because he had somebody to guard at mid court.

810
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:49,759
Speaker 3: But if he was ready, he could have easily had that,

811
00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:54,160
Speaker 3: but he just was wasn't on the toes. Yeah, that pass.

812
00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:55,640
Speaker 2: Wild ending to that one. All right, So we got

813
00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:56,839
Speaker 2: two series there from last night.

814
00:36:56,880 --> 00:36:59,960
Speaker 3: One which is sorry, question about iron ego. Great, I'm

815
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:02,440
Speaker 3: the call as always. At one point I kind of

816
00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:04,640
Speaker 3: was half tuned in. He said he just named some

817
00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:10,839
Speaker 3: artists shot Hey, Madonna, Prince and Bomber. He threw Steve

818
00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:11,480
Speaker 3: Bomber in there.

819
00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:15,320
Speaker 4: That's because Grant Hill had just like previously called him Balmer.

820
00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:16,840
Speaker 4: I think it was. I think it was like, was

821
00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:19,520
Speaker 4: it after that Terrence Man dunk? Basically yeah, it was

822
00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:22,080
Speaker 4: like they showed the Terrence Man dunk and then Steve

823
00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:23,920
Speaker 4: Bauber is like right in the background, so the camera

824
00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:27,000
Speaker 4: does like the dunk, rewrap the focus onto him and

825
00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:29,960
Speaker 4: Grant Hills like and Balmer's loving it. So then he

826
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:32,279
Speaker 4: goes like, oh, he's on a first name basis now right?

827
00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:34,839
Speaker 3: One name?

828
00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:36,279
Speaker 4: He's no longer.

829
00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:39,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, so weird one, but.

830
00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:44,080
Speaker 3: Just dropping. Yeah, he's he's the one name guy. I

831
00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:46,320
Speaker 3: guess now he's bombing. Just goes by bomber.

832
00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:50,720
Speaker 2: What's up with a bomber? Not splurgeon on some T shirts?

833
00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:50,960
Speaker 4: Though?

834
00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:55,799
Speaker 2: On there they can't even go buy eighteen thousand free

835
00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:58,879
Speaker 2: T shirts. It's just like a normal regular season game.

836
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:01,480
Speaker 2: It's a good point the weird and you think about it,

837
00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:03,360
Speaker 2: I feel like, well, I mean maybe they're not the

838
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:05,160
Speaker 2: only one. Now I'm trying to think, did Milwaukee have

839
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:06,200
Speaker 2: T shirts?

840
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:07,680
Speaker 4: Percent sure?

841
00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:09,840
Speaker 2: But anyway, I mean I think the Clipper should be

842
00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:11,400
Speaker 2: doing that thing. Is he trying to save it for

843
00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:12,880
Speaker 2: the new the new arena?

844
00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:16,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe they're Yeah, maybe they're just not making a

845
00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:18,640
Speaker 3: lot of money here. Maybe they haven't sold a lot

846
00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:22,000
Speaker 3: of seats for the into It Dome.

847
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:24,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, all the money went to the toilets.

848
00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:27,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, and the wall, this wall and the wall.

849
00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:29,080
Speaker 4: Hope they're free T shirts when they go into their

850
00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:29,439
Speaker 4: new place.

851
00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:34,520
Speaker 3: I don't know.

852
00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:37,160
Speaker 2: Yeah. And now that I said that out loud, I'm like, oh, wait,

853
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:40,080
Speaker 2: maybe they didn't have them in Milwaukee either. Now in

854
00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:42,759
Speaker 2: Milwaukee's I can be like, all right, you want a championship.

855
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:44,680
Speaker 2: You've been here, done that. I get that a little bit.

856
00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:47,839
Speaker 4: But what have the Clippers? They've never won anything. They

857
00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:49,520
Speaker 4: need all the help they can get with their home crowd,

858
00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:50,120
Speaker 4: is my point.

859
00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:54,319
Speaker 2: Give give them something, all right, Let's move on to

860
00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:57,600
Speaker 2: some news. Seventy six Ers guard Tyrese Maxi is the

861
00:38:57,600 --> 00:39:02,080
Speaker 2: twenty twenty three twenty four NBA Mode Improved Player. Maxi

862
00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:05,279
Speaker 2: up his scoring average by more than five points from

863
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:07,600
Speaker 2: twenty point three to nearly twenty six points per game.

864
00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:09,880
Speaker 2: You also average a career high six point to assist

865
00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:12,880
Speaker 2: this season for seventy six Ers. He just beat out

866
00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:17,560
Speaker 2: Kobe White in a very close vote. Maxi fifty one

867
00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:20,640
Speaker 2: first place votes, so three hundred and nineteen total points

868
00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:23,759
Speaker 2: in the voting. Kobe White of the Bulls thirty two

869
00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:27,760
Speaker 2: first place votes and three hundred and five total points,

870
00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:30,960
Speaker 2: so TK it was very close for your guy. Kobe

871
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:33,920
Speaker 2: White actually appeared on more ballots, that's right when you

872
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:38,439
Speaker 2: add them all up. Got some electoral college Shenanigan's going

873
00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:42,160
Speaker 2: on here? Jesus, what is it with this country? But

874
00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:45,440
Speaker 2: in the end, Maxi, you know, a well deserved MIP.

875
00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:48,880
Speaker 2: But I mean, man, people get fired up about this award.

876
00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:51,279
Speaker 2: There's a lot of hot takes flying last night after

877
00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:52,240
Speaker 2: Kobe came second.

878
00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:54,799
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, I mean Maxi's percentages all went down, so

879
00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:57,040
Speaker 4: you can't understand why he shouldn't have been a NIP.

880
00:39:57,560 --> 00:40:00,520
Speaker 4: But that's how it goes. In this decade, the last

881
00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:03,560
Speaker 4: five winners were all first time All Stars, Ingram Randall,

882
00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:06,799
Speaker 4: jaw Lowry Markinen, and now Tyrese Maxey. Prior to that,

883
00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:08,640
Speaker 4: it was like Paul George becoming an All Star for

884
00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:11,279
Speaker 4: the first time. Gordon Dragitch didn't make All Star but

885
00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:14,480
Speaker 4: made All NBA that season. Jimmy Butler went to his

886
00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:16,000
Speaker 4: first All Start of the game when he won it.

887
00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:18,799
Speaker 4: C J McCollum, he just got one. Maybe they thought

888
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:19,920
Speaker 4: he was going to go to an All Star game.

889
00:40:20,040 --> 00:40:22,440
Speaker 4: Actually he never did. Ye Johannis went to an All

890
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:24,920
Speaker 4: Star game. Oladipo went to an All Star game. Siakam

891
00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:26,600
Speaker 4: went to an All Star game the next season. So

892
00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:29,120
Speaker 4: you basically got to become an All Star. But I'm

893
00:40:29,160 --> 00:40:34,359
Speaker 4: just gonna keep calling Kobe White the pm IP people's

894
00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:36,880
Speaker 4: most improved player because he has on more ballots. It

895
00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:39,240
Speaker 4: worked out perfectly for me because now I can pretend

896
00:40:39,239 --> 00:40:41,520
Speaker 4: like he actually won when clearly Maxi did.

897
00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:46,400
Speaker 2: Apparently I saw Drew Stevens tweet this margin between Maxi

898
00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:48,359
Speaker 2: and Kobe White. So three nineteen to three of five

899
00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:52,800
Speaker 2: for most improved slimmest since Monte Ellis with three hundred

900
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:56,160
Speaker 2: and fifty two points, narrowly beat out Kevin Martin with

901
00:40:56,239 --> 00:41:00,239
Speaker 2: three hundred and forty nine points n Martin seven. I

902
00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:03,720
Speaker 2: was decided by three points, you know, basically one second

903
00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:06,279
Speaker 2: place vote if they were wow, still having the five

904
00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:08,000
Speaker 2: to three one back then in oh seven, I can't

905
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:10,240
Speaker 2: really remember, but anyway, it's a tight one here, Tess.

906
00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:15,200
Speaker 3: I just love looking down this, the voting and how

907
00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:16,800
Speaker 3: it was all done, So I guess that's why I

908
00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:19,040
Speaker 3: got people got riled up. I got riled up in

909
00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:21,359
Speaker 3: a good way just to see guys like Shanguon was third.

910
00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:24,600
Speaker 3: He had a fantastic year before he got hurt, so

911
00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:27,040
Speaker 3: I'm sure he would have been higher, but a good

912
00:41:27,080 --> 00:41:30,439
Speaker 3: spot for him. Jay Dobb Jalen Williams was fourth going

913
00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:32,480
Speaker 3: all the way down. I've did did have a good season,

914
00:41:32,480 --> 00:41:35,400
Speaker 3: going all the way down to Aaron Nesmith with the Pacers.

915
00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:39,359
Speaker 3: It's totally true with just one vote and Shay being

916
00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:43,319
Speaker 3: on there. He's a stud. That's true, and I knew

917
00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:47,000
Speaker 3: people would vote. Only one did though more Yeah, I thought,

918
00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:48,480
Speaker 3: so that's.

919
00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:53,680
Speaker 2: All quick quick trivia, because Maxi is the second seventy six.

920
00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:54,480
Speaker 4: Er to win this award.

921
00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:58,440
Speaker 2: Joining do you guys know who did it for Philadelphia

922
00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:00,680
Speaker 2: MP Most Improved. It's a tough name.

923
00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:04,239
Speaker 3: It's not anywhere circa mid.

924
00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:07,239
Speaker 2: Nineties when you were teeny bops.

925
00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:10,160
Speaker 4: We were a little ten box hockeins.

926
00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:12,799
Speaker 2: No, no, this guy I think scored. Did this guy

927
00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:13,839
Speaker 2: score fifty in the game once?

928
00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:15,320
Speaker 3: I think you did fifty?

929
00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:15,759
Speaker 4: Dog?

930
00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:21,560
Speaker 3: Oh no, no, no, A little Dana Barrows, Yeah, yeah, yeah,

931
00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:23,200
Speaker 3: gave it.

932
00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:29,000
Speaker 2: Uh the voting for that year, Dana Barrows, Elliott Perry.

933
00:42:29,719 --> 00:42:31,560
Speaker 4: He pulled his socks up taller. That's right.

934
00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:37,080
Speaker 2: Scott Burrell, George Morrison, and Alan Houston. Those were the

935
00:42:37,080 --> 00:42:37,680
Speaker 2: top five.

936
00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:41,640
Speaker 4: Every song was good. I think he was absolutely was.

937
00:42:41,840 --> 00:42:44,239
Speaker 2: But you're right, there used to be a time when

938
00:42:44,239 --> 00:42:47,319
Speaker 2: this award would go to your Aaron Brooks and you

939
00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:50,000
Speaker 2: know your Dana Barrows is like yeah, and then it

940
00:42:50,320 --> 00:42:53,840
Speaker 2: definitely changed. And it's like you've almost called it before.

941
00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:57,720
Speaker 2: I feel like it was U t K. Like it's

942
00:42:57,760 --> 00:42:59,600
Speaker 2: not like runner up m v P. But it's like,

943
00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:02,200
Speaker 2: t are two m v P a weird way. It's

944
00:43:02,200 --> 00:43:04,279
Speaker 2: like you're not in the m VP conversation, but we

945
00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:06,839
Speaker 2: think you might get there and your Tier two this year.

946
00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:09,400
Speaker 2: So you've made that the hell of a jump. And

947
00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:11,560
Speaker 2: Maxie has definitely have He's look at what he's done

948
00:43:11,560 --> 00:43:14,000
Speaker 2: in these first two games, obviously in losses, but for

949
00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:15,520
Speaker 2: the sixers has been amazing.

950
00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:18,480
Speaker 4: It looks like a superstar and he is. Honestly, he

951
00:43:18,520 --> 00:43:19,440
Speaker 4: deserves it these days.

952
00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:22,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, there you go. We've never made a list of

953
00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:24,560
Speaker 3: guys who've won Most Improved Player then went on to

954
00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:30,839
Speaker 3: win Most Valuable Player, So honest yes, that's gotta be it. Yeah,

955
00:43:31,360 --> 00:43:32,560
Speaker 3: I wonder if that could be it.

956
00:43:32,640 --> 00:43:33,759
Speaker 4: I think so. I think so.

957
00:43:34,719 --> 00:43:37,200
Speaker 2: Congratsim there you go, Kobe White the.

958
00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:38,080
Speaker 4: Key I m P.

959
00:43:38,640 --> 00:43:40,040
Speaker 3: That was a fun list.

960
00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:44,239
Speaker 4: Uh it's Kobe White, the new Aaron Brooks. Only time

961
00:43:44,280 --> 00:43:51,359
Speaker 4: will tell you number zero. They both, yeahs is good man.

962
00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:52,520
Speaker 4: Here's the fun. Here's a fun.

963
00:43:54,200 --> 00:43:57,440
Speaker 2: On that list. Will we have next year's most Improved Player?

964
00:43:57,640 --> 00:43:59,960
Speaker 2: Because that happens from time to die? Those guys lower down,

965
00:44:00,520 --> 00:44:03,640
Speaker 2: maybe a J dub interesting, you know, maybe someone else

966
00:44:04,480 --> 00:44:06,440
Speaker 2: Maxi was on a most improved Max a couple of

967
00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:11,120
Speaker 2: years ago. Maxi, yeah, his second Yeah, yeah, yeah.

968
00:44:11,200 --> 00:44:12,799
Speaker 4: So it'll be Jalen Williams next year.

969
00:44:12,880 --> 00:44:13,040
Speaker 3: Yeah.

970
00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:14,360
Speaker 4: I think they'll probably make All Stars.

971
00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:16,480
Speaker 2: I think it's a it's a good bet. It's a

972
00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:20,279
Speaker 2: great bet, all right, moving on or sticking with Maxi,

973
00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:22,480
Speaker 2: I guess I should say. In its last two minute

974
00:44:22,520 --> 00:44:24,719
Speaker 2: report for the knicks miraculous victory over the seventy six

975
00:44:24,840 --> 00:44:28,040
Speaker 2: ers in Game two, the NBA has ruled that Tyrese

976
00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:32,280
Speaker 2: Maxi was fouled multiple times during a frenetic defining sequence

977
00:44:32,320 --> 00:44:34,239
Speaker 2: there near the end of the game, and that Nick

978
00:44:34,320 --> 00:44:37,920
Speaker 2: Nurse called for a timeout, but the referees didn't see it.

979
00:44:38,040 --> 00:44:40,040
Speaker 2: Task you're rolling your eyes, But let me give you

980
00:44:40,080 --> 00:44:44,760
Speaker 2: the specifics. The league said Jalen Brunson grabbed Maxie's jersey

981
00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:48,440
Speaker 2: before the ball was inbounded, and that Josh Hart then

982
00:44:48,560 --> 00:44:52,560
Speaker 2: bumped Maxie as he caught the inbounds pass, sending him

983
00:44:52,640 --> 00:44:55,840
Speaker 2: following falling to the ground. Excuse me, And of course,

984
00:44:56,200 --> 00:44:59,960
Speaker 2: once again, that Nurse was calling for a timeout before

985
00:45:00,160 --> 00:45:03,000
Speaker 2: or the ball was inbounded. So not the one, not

986
00:45:03,080 --> 00:45:04,880
Speaker 2: the one where Maxie then was on the ground and

987
00:45:04,920 --> 00:45:06,400
Speaker 2: it was sort of not really in his hands, and

988
00:45:06,440 --> 00:45:09,200
Speaker 2: then nurse was once again trying to call timent. They said, no,

989
00:45:09,239 --> 00:45:11,759
Speaker 2: not that one. Maybe the one before lowry inbounded the ball.

990
00:45:11,840 --> 00:45:13,799
Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe, which I don't buy at.

991
00:45:13,719 --> 00:45:16,080
Speaker 2: All because you think he pump faked it.

992
00:45:16,320 --> 00:45:23,120
Speaker 3: Well, his hands were inches apart, for our metric fans,

993
00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:26,080
Speaker 3: centimeters apart. There was a distance, and so he could

994
00:45:26,080 --> 00:45:27,680
Speaker 3: have easily called it. If he was out of bounce,

995
00:45:27,680 --> 00:45:29,799
Speaker 3: he could have easily just said hey, hey, hey, he

996
00:45:29,840 --> 00:45:32,480
Speaker 3: wasn't doing that. It was he wasn't signaling to the reference.

997
00:45:32,560 --> 00:45:33,200
Speaker 2: He was thinking about it.

998
00:45:34,360 --> 00:45:36,560
Speaker 3: But anyway, you could have called a foul Maxie getting hit.

999
00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:37,960
Speaker 3: He could have could.

1000
00:45:38,520 --> 00:45:40,120
Speaker 4: That's fine, that's that's fine.

1001
00:45:40,200 --> 00:45:41,719
Speaker 2: Well this changes everything, right.

1002
00:45:41,840 --> 00:45:45,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, right. They should have gone back prior to those

1003
00:45:45,880 --> 00:45:48,280
Speaker 3: two minutes. In the two minutes report, two thirty left,

1004
00:45:48,840 --> 00:45:54,000
Speaker 3: Nurse challenged something which was overturned and gave the sixers

1005
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:57,759
Speaker 3: of the ball. I didn't understand how they overturned that thing.

1006
00:45:57,880 --> 00:45:59,959
Speaker 3: That's a mistake that should be on the report. Kyle

1007
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:03,200
Speaker 3: I already smacked Dante DiVincenzo, but somehow they said he

1008
00:46:03,239 --> 00:46:05,879
Speaker 3: hit the ball. Anyways, they got the ball the two

1009
00:46:05,880 --> 00:46:08,799
Speaker 3: thirty seven left. I know the thing that should have

1010
00:46:08,800 --> 00:46:11,600
Speaker 3: happened was MAXI. Yes he could there could have been

1011
00:46:11,600 --> 00:46:13,840
Speaker 3: a foul against him, but he also could have just

1012
00:46:13,880 --> 00:46:15,440
Speaker 3: held onto the ball while he was on the ground.

1013
00:46:15,800 --> 00:46:17,839
Speaker 3: That that was. That was strange. He kind of gave

1014
00:46:17,880 --> 00:46:18,520
Speaker 3: it away.

1015
00:46:19,120 --> 00:46:20,680
Speaker 4: That's what he said. I know, Yeah, I gotta be

1016
00:46:20,719 --> 00:46:22,160
Speaker 4: stronger with the ball when I get on the floor.

1017
00:46:22,200 --> 00:46:23,120
Speaker 4: I got a call time out.

1018
00:46:23,320 --> 00:46:24,160
Speaker 3: But it is what it is.

1019
00:46:24,239 --> 00:46:25,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, he has said that twice.

1020
00:46:25,400 --> 00:46:27,120
Speaker 2: He said it after the game game two, and then

1021
00:46:27,120 --> 00:46:28,520
Speaker 2: he said it out you know when he was asked

1022
00:46:28,520 --> 00:46:31,440
Speaker 2: about it from the inside guys after winning Most Improved

1023
00:46:31,680 --> 00:46:33,280
Speaker 2: and you know, kudos.

1024
00:46:33,360 --> 00:46:33,640
Speaker 4: Damn.

1025
00:46:33,640 --> 00:46:36,160
Speaker 2: That's I'm convinced that guy is gonna be a superstar

1026
00:46:36,200 --> 00:46:37,719
Speaker 2: if he's not already. That's what you say when you're

1027
00:46:37,719 --> 00:46:39,600
Speaker 2: a superstar. But yeah, look there was a lot of

1028
00:46:39,600 --> 00:46:42,479
Speaker 2: contact there. But Tray said it the it's the home crowd,

1029
00:46:42,520 --> 00:46:44,960
Speaker 2: it's the home cooking, the pandemonium going on at that

1030
00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:49,319
Speaker 2: moment after the first three that you know, it's a

1031
00:46:49,360 --> 00:46:49,880
Speaker 2: lot going on.

1032
00:46:50,719 --> 00:46:51,920
Speaker 4: They missed things, they missed it.

1033
00:46:51,960 --> 00:46:54,000
Speaker 2: There's contact. They could have been called. I think it

1034
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:56,239
Speaker 2: would have been called in Philadelphia. I truly do. The

1035
00:46:56,280 --> 00:46:59,359
Speaker 2: guy's held for a second and then he's knocked over. Hell,

1036
00:46:59,400 --> 00:47:01,080
Speaker 2: they usually just hall of foul when somebody hits the

1037
00:47:01,120 --> 00:47:03,680
Speaker 2: ground and nothing happens the next.

1038
00:47:03,920 --> 00:47:06,279
Speaker 4: Last year or the next Because Dante DiVincenzo also got

1039
00:47:06,320 --> 00:47:09,680
Speaker 4: away with a form tackle earlier this year, that's true.

1040
00:47:09,880 --> 00:47:12,839
Speaker 4: That's sorry, Sorr Thompson. But between that one and this

1041
00:47:12,880 --> 00:47:15,200
Speaker 4: one must be the most digital link ever in some

1042
00:47:15,280 --> 00:47:17,919
Speaker 4: last two minute reports. This one I was scrolling forever. Yeah,

1043
00:47:18,520 --> 00:47:19,440
Speaker 4: get to this incident.

1044
00:47:19,560 --> 00:47:19,799
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1045
00:47:19,840 --> 00:47:22,160
Speaker 2: The other one I should have noted, just from transparency,

1046
00:47:22,320 --> 00:47:24,800
Speaker 2: Joelle Embiid should have been called for a foul against

1047
00:47:24,920 --> 00:47:28,560
Speaker 2: Dante DiVincenzo with thirty five seconds left. He made contact

1048
00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:34,879
Speaker 2: with Devincenzo's head and face slash face head slash.

1049
00:47:34,680 --> 00:47:36,920
Speaker 4: Not both of them. Yeah, that means this is all silly.

1050
00:47:37,520 --> 00:47:38,440
Speaker 4: You like these things?

1051
00:47:39,080 --> 00:47:42,760
Speaker 3: No, and it should take shorter to read than two minutes.

1052
00:47:45,239 --> 00:47:47,400
Speaker 2: Oh, you need a report on the last two minute.

1053
00:47:47,120 --> 00:47:51,560
Speaker 3: Report, Well, there's a video. I can film Trey reading

1054
00:47:51,600 --> 00:47:53,319
Speaker 3: the last two minute report and it's going to be

1055
00:47:53,320 --> 00:47:54,719
Speaker 3: longer than two minutes, So it's not going to be

1056
00:47:54,760 --> 00:47:55,799
Speaker 3: a short, it's going to.

1057
00:47:55,800 --> 00:47:58,320
Speaker 2: Be a Yeah, it's a good bit and now you

1058
00:47:58,360 --> 00:48:00,239
Speaker 2: go to the report on the last two minutes for

1059
00:48:00,640 --> 00:48:01,240
Speaker 2: it just gets.

1060
00:48:01,280 --> 00:48:03,400
Speaker 4: It gets Does it get longer and longer? Does it

1061
00:48:03,480 --> 00:48:04,840
Speaker 4: get shorter and shorter? What's funny?

1062
00:48:05,760 --> 00:48:08,720
Speaker 2: We'll figure that out all right. Another news, JJ Reddick

1063
00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:11,400
Speaker 2: will interview for the head coaching job of the Charlotte Hornets.

1064
00:48:11,400 --> 00:48:14,799
Speaker 2: According to Shops, Reddick is a fifteen year NBA vet.

1065
00:48:15,200 --> 00:48:19,120
Speaker 2: He's got no professional or collegiate coaching experience, you know,

1066
00:48:19,160 --> 00:48:22,359
Speaker 2: at any level. But since retiring in twenty twenty one,

1067
00:48:22,440 --> 00:48:25,080
Speaker 2: Reddick has been a broadcast at ESPN, calls games for

1068
00:48:25,120 --> 00:48:28,720
Speaker 2: the network, appears on numerous studio shows, and of course

1069
00:48:28,960 --> 00:48:32,400
Speaker 2: is hosting podcasts, killing the podcast game. So yeah, what

1070
00:48:32,440 --> 00:48:35,799
Speaker 2: do you think here, TK of Reddick's name popping up

1071
00:48:35,800 --> 00:48:40,000
Speaker 2: once again in one of these coaching vacancies here in.

1072
00:48:40,080 --> 00:48:42,279
Speaker 4: Charlotte, Well, it makes me think that JJ Reddick is

1073
00:48:42,280 --> 00:48:45,480
Speaker 4: definitely going to be a coach eventually, right. I don't

1074
00:48:45,560 --> 00:48:48,080
Speaker 4: necessarily think the Hornets is the job that he would

1075
00:48:48,120 --> 00:48:50,480
Speaker 4: want to take as his first job, especially considering he's

1076
00:48:50,520 --> 00:48:53,000
Speaker 4: on top of the world as a media guy right now.

1077
00:48:53,040 --> 00:48:56,960
Speaker 4: Imagine ESPN loses two finals broadcasters in a single season

1078
00:48:56,960 --> 00:48:58,880
Speaker 4: because they both go to coaching. It's supposed to be

1079
00:48:58,920 --> 00:49:02,080
Speaker 4: Doc Rivers. He's a coach now. Yeah, JJ Reddick took

1080
00:49:02,120 --> 00:49:04,960
Speaker 4: over for him, but he might be going to coaching.

1081
00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:07,799
Speaker 4: Not surprising. I suppose that he would surface in North

1082
00:49:07,840 --> 00:49:11,080
Speaker 4: Carolina where he was a legend playing for Duke there.

1083
00:49:11,080 --> 00:49:14,040
Speaker 4: But I really think that JJ with this and then

1084
00:49:14,080 --> 00:49:17,799
Speaker 4: interviewing for the Raptors job last summer, yep. I think

1085
00:49:17,800 --> 00:49:20,200
Speaker 4: he's just getting interview experience because I think eventually he's

1086
00:49:20,200 --> 00:49:23,000
Speaker 4: going to be the coach for Lebron James's Las Vegas team.

1087
00:49:23,160 --> 00:49:27,920
Speaker 2: Oo okay, and maybe we'll have experience before that. No

1088
00:49:28,800 --> 00:49:30,600
Speaker 2: interesting fresh, Yeah.

1089
00:49:30,640 --> 00:49:33,080
Speaker 4: I think he's going to be learning things and understanding

1090
00:49:33,120 --> 00:49:34,920
Speaker 4: what it's like to like go through these interviews with

1091
00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:37,000
Speaker 4: front offices and that kind of thing. And then whenever

1092
00:49:37,080 --> 00:49:39,960
Speaker 4: Lebron gets a team, they will have four years of

1093
00:49:40,000 --> 00:49:44,359
Speaker 4: podcasting together basically JJ's audition tape, and then he takes over.

1094
00:49:44,440 --> 00:49:46,440
Speaker 2: Do you think they'll crack a special bottle of wine

1095
00:49:46,520 --> 00:49:47,879
Speaker 2: when you are the coach?

1096
00:49:47,960 --> 00:49:49,880
Speaker 4: I don't know what vintage, but we'll see. Do you

1097
00:49:49,920 --> 00:49:52,480
Speaker 4: think they'll do it on the podcast? Hire him on

1098
00:49:52,520 --> 00:49:55,520
Speaker 4: the podcast? I think they should. They should. You should

1099
00:49:55,560 --> 00:49:58,839
Speaker 4: do that that's a great idea. Yeah, I guess.

1100
00:49:58,880 --> 00:50:01,759
Speaker 2: Also, Celtics coach Joe Mizzoula tried to hire Reddick as

1101
00:50:01,760 --> 00:50:06,080
Speaker 2: an assistant coach last offseason but passed that down. And obviously, yeah,

1102
00:50:06,080 --> 00:50:07,960
Speaker 2: he said, the Raptors won and then now this one,

1103
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:12,080
Speaker 2: we'll see what happens. He wouldn't be the first, you know,

1104
00:50:12,320 --> 00:50:15,160
Speaker 2: NBA vet who a couple of years out of the league,

1105
00:50:15,280 --> 00:50:18,080
Speaker 2: or some guys very quickly out of the league with

1106
00:50:18,200 --> 00:50:18,840
Speaker 2: no experience.

1107
00:50:18,920 --> 00:50:23,640
Speaker 4: Just take a job, right, Jason Kidd, Stevens, Chauncey Billips. Yeah,

1108
00:50:24,360 --> 00:50:25,279
Speaker 4: they're all killing him.

1109
00:50:26,160 --> 00:50:32,680
Speaker 3: They're not right. Probably the Fisher Derek Fisher did fired fired.

1110
00:50:33,280 --> 00:50:38,000
Speaker 4: Did Steve have any coaching experience? Steve coaching experience, GM

1111
00:50:38,080 --> 00:50:40,279
Speaker 4: experience and he was retired for years.

1112
00:50:40,320 --> 00:50:43,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, the long time. I don't know why JJ

1113
00:50:43,800 --> 00:50:46,839
Speaker 3: Redick is interviewing for Charlotte though he's not taking this job.

1114
00:50:46,920 --> 00:50:50,319
Speaker 3: It doesn't feel like he's taking this job. You got

1115
00:50:50,320 --> 00:50:52,719
Speaker 3: interviewed by the Raptors. He had Joe Missoula while he

1116
00:50:52,800 --> 00:50:56,480
Speaker 3: was golfing with JJ Reddick. Apparently last year he said, hey,

1117
00:50:57,320 --> 00:50:58,759
Speaker 3: you want to get into our training camp, just be

1118
00:50:58,760 --> 00:51:00,919
Speaker 3: an assistant with us. But he had a golfing trip

1119
00:51:00,960 --> 00:51:03,400
Speaker 3: to go on. I do believe that that jj ra

1120
00:51:03,520 --> 00:51:05,440
Speaker 3: had a golfing trip. So he said, I am not

1121
00:51:05,520 --> 00:51:09,960
Speaker 3: doing that. That's what he told Pablo Page at Doc Rivers. Yeah,

1122
00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:12,399
Speaker 3: he's busy. That's why he's busy. He told Pablo Tory

1123
00:51:12,440 --> 00:51:14,080
Speaker 3: on that on a podcast. And why I say, I

1124
00:51:14,120 --> 00:51:16,160
Speaker 3: doubt he's taking this Charlotte Chub. He lives in the

1125
00:51:16,160 --> 00:51:19,520
Speaker 3: New York area. He's already coaching somebody. He's coaching Knox Reddick,

1126
00:51:19,600 --> 00:51:22,040
Speaker 3: his son. Where is he going to go? I don't know,

1127
00:51:22,040 --> 00:51:24,399
Speaker 3: but the Vegas thing, that's far. That's far. I could

1128
00:51:24,400 --> 00:51:28,680
Speaker 3: see something a little more local, but I don't think

1129
00:51:28,719 --> 00:51:32,320
Speaker 3: he wants it. He's obviously jumped into this media world

1130
00:51:32,680 --> 00:51:36,400
Speaker 3: very very well. Why now, I mean, coaching takes a

1131
00:51:36,440 --> 00:51:40,680
Speaker 3: lot out of you. He's young, ten fifteen years from now.

1132
00:51:41,239 --> 00:51:42,520
Speaker 4: This is the juice man.

1133
00:51:44,120 --> 00:51:45,560
Speaker 3: For sure, absolutely misses.

1134
00:51:45,640 --> 00:51:49,640
Speaker 4: JJ Reddick's name has never been hotter. There's only thirty

1135
00:51:49,640 --> 00:51:50,200
Speaker 4: of these jobs.

1136
00:51:50,360 --> 00:51:53,959
Speaker 2: Well, might be thirty two in a couple of years.

1137
00:51:53,960 --> 00:51:56,879
Speaker 4: Still a low number. Yeah, I think I like I like.

1138
00:51:56,880 --> 00:52:00,600
Speaker 2: Your your you're thinking here. I could see the hell parly.

1139
00:52:00,640 --> 00:52:03,239
Speaker 2: Sam Presty will be in the front office. Lebron can't

1140
00:52:03,239 --> 00:52:05,319
Speaker 2: stop talking about him. It'll, you know, be Lebron in

1141
00:52:05,360 --> 00:52:07,359
Speaker 2: ownership of some sort. Maybe READI will be the coach.

1142
00:52:07,400 --> 00:52:10,239
Speaker 2: But I'm most intrigued by that, which I do agree with.

1143
00:52:10,360 --> 00:52:13,840
Speaker 2: If he'll get some reps like have a maybe a

1144
00:52:13,920 --> 00:52:17,799
Speaker 2: Charlotte year two, three, four, whatever before he eventually is

1145
00:52:17,840 --> 00:52:19,200
Speaker 2: a Lebron's head coach.

1146
00:52:19,280 --> 00:52:21,040
Speaker 4: Maybe not, maybe not. We will see.

1147
00:52:21,360 --> 00:52:24,960
Speaker 3: Young guys are fine too, your diagnauts, your will will hardy.

1148
00:52:25,080 --> 00:52:27,000
Speaker 3: You know, some of them are fine. He guygnosed he's

1149
00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:28,920
Speaker 3: already coaching. As I said, he's coaching a kid's team.

1150
00:52:29,400 --> 00:52:32,960
Speaker 3: They got they run good stuff. They crushed the tape

1151
00:52:33,160 --> 00:52:35,920
Speaker 3: of course. No. I just listened to Polatorious podcast. I

1152
00:52:35,960 --> 00:52:40,200
Speaker 3: heard all about it. They're really good. They're really good. Williams,

1153
00:52:40,360 --> 00:52:41,879
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, he was an assistant for a long time

1154
00:52:41,960 --> 00:52:43,680
Speaker 3: former player. I'm just thinking of former player.

1155
00:52:44,080 --> 00:52:46,600
Speaker 4: Jumped on final piece of news and it's weird.

1156
00:52:46,960 --> 00:52:49,560
Speaker 2: The NBA and Denver police are looking into an incident

1157
00:52:49,640 --> 00:52:56,040
Speaker 2: in which's brother, allegedly Yok's brother.

1158
00:52:56,320 --> 00:52:58,200
Speaker 4: I'm gonna go out on a limb and say this is.

1159
00:52:58,120 --> 00:53:02,080
Speaker 2: Definitely his brother was seen punching a fan after the

1160
00:53:02,120 --> 00:53:05,480
Speaker 2: Nuggets one on one ninety nine victory of the Lakers.

1161
00:53:05,480 --> 00:53:07,520
Speaker 2: So you're seeing the video here on YouTube. This was

1162
00:53:07,520 --> 00:53:09,040
Speaker 2: shared by TMZ other outlets.

1163
00:53:10,360 --> 00:53:11,240
Speaker 4: The bro there.

1164
00:53:12,960 --> 00:53:15,360
Speaker 2: Climbing over seats to confront another guy and he just

1165
00:53:15,480 --> 00:53:17,520
Speaker 2: clocked the dude in the faith guy took the punch

1166
00:53:19,120 --> 00:53:20,520
Speaker 2: and that sort of it. This is all we know,

1167
00:53:22,040 --> 00:53:25,280
Speaker 2: and I don't think there's been any you know, charges filed,

1168
00:53:25,400 --> 00:53:27,239
Speaker 2: and we're just waiting on the NBA. I guess the

1169
00:53:27,280 --> 00:53:29,600
Speaker 2: Denver police looking into it. But you know, this brother

1170
00:53:29,680 --> 00:53:34,040
Speaker 2: definitely has a checkered pass when it comes to altercations

1171
00:53:34,120 --> 00:53:36,720
Speaker 2: or incidents in the arena and then outside the arena.

1172
00:53:36,800 --> 00:53:38,879
Speaker 2: He was arrested for allegedly choking and pushing a woman

1173
00:53:38,880 --> 00:53:41,200
Speaker 2: while the two were inside a Denver apartment. Now he

1174
00:53:41,280 --> 00:53:43,880
Speaker 2: was charged with second degree assault, false imprisonment, obstruction of

1175
00:53:43,920 --> 00:53:47,160
Speaker 2: phone service. He pled guilty to the misdemeanor count of

1176
00:53:47,239 --> 00:53:51,520
Speaker 2: obstruction of phone service and felony trespassing. The other chargers

1177
00:53:51,560 --> 00:53:54,000
Speaker 2: were dismissed. That was in twenty twenty. But this is

1178
00:53:54,040 --> 00:53:56,520
Speaker 2: that bro. I forget how you say his name. It's

1179
00:53:56,560 --> 00:53:58,760
Speaker 2: a very difficult name, Serbian name that I would.

1180
00:53:58,520 --> 00:54:03,800
Speaker 3: Butcher Traice is it right, Yeah, yeah, I think so.

1181
00:54:04,719 --> 00:54:08,760
Speaker 4: The other brother is Namania. Yeah, because of Namonia be Elita.

1182
00:54:08,400 --> 00:54:10,440
Speaker 3: Classic classic Surveian name.

1183
00:54:10,800 --> 00:54:15,239
Speaker 4: So yeah, you have to add to this. I mean,

1184
00:54:15,239 --> 00:54:16,880
Speaker 4: he definitely punches the guy in the face.

1185
00:54:18,280 --> 00:54:20,200
Speaker 3: I had to watch this video over and over and

1186
00:54:20,200 --> 00:54:24,040
Speaker 3: over again because that person who took that punch was fine.

1187
00:54:24,160 --> 00:54:27,800
Speaker 3: He bounced back as it like, really quickly and didn't

1188
00:54:28,200 --> 00:54:31,080
Speaker 3: say anything was wrong or he just you know, it

1189
00:54:31,600 --> 00:54:33,480
Speaker 3: was kind of calm about getting punched in the face,

1190
00:54:34,040 --> 00:54:36,200
Speaker 3: it sure felt like and it felt like the unfortunate

1191
00:54:36,280 --> 00:54:38,480
Speaker 3: part was it seemed like it was around all the

1192
00:54:38,560 --> 00:54:41,160
Speaker 3: Nuggets players families and.

1193
00:54:41,080 --> 00:54:45,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, you can see's wife and child right there right

1194
00:54:45,160 --> 00:54:46,280
Speaker 2: behind the guys, the bros.

1195
00:54:46,719 --> 00:54:49,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, but it was just strange to see a large

1196
00:54:49,520 --> 00:54:52,799
Speaker 3: man you have the angle because he's over top. You know,

1197
00:54:52,840 --> 00:54:56,239
Speaker 3: he's a row up, and you didn't pop a guy

1198
00:54:56,480 --> 00:54:59,960
Speaker 3: who passed out. That person just took it and bounce

1199
00:55:00,120 --> 00:55:02,880
Speaker 3: break back, and it didn't seem like there was a

1200
00:55:02,920 --> 00:55:05,800
Speaker 3: lot of a not much of a melee going on.

1201
00:55:06,280 --> 00:55:08,880
Speaker 3: It's just like everybody reacted to it kind of calmly

1202
00:55:09,239 --> 00:55:13,239
Speaker 3: and as calmly I guess as you can actually absolutely

1203
00:55:13,320 --> 00:55:15,600
Speaker 3: if they knew it was coming in a way like

1204
00:55:15,680 --> 00:55:16,719
Speaker 3: they must have been going.

1205
00:55:16,880 --> 00:55:20,080
Speaker 2: Obviously something is said that has offended them, or they've

1206
00:55:20,080 --> 00:55:22,880
Speaker 2: done something that they that has offended them. I'm not

1207
00:55:22,880 --> 00:55:24,520
Speaker 2: saying that makes it right to go punch it on

1208
00:55:24,600 --> 00:55:26,880
Speaker 2: the face. And we'll see, Like will the NBA be like, well,

1209
00:55:26,920 --> 00:55:30,400
Speaker 2: there's video right there. I mean, you can't have you

1210
00:55:30,400 --> 00:55:32,600
Speaker 2: in the arena. You're suspended from the playoffs or whatever

1211
00:55:32,640 --> 00:55:33,279
Speaker 2: they might do that.

1212
00:55:33,800 --> 00:55:36,560
Speaker 4: Those guys are every game. Yeah yeah, and this is

1213
00:55:36,560 --> 00:55:39,480
Speaker 4: in Denver. This is not on the road.

1214
00:55:39,280 --> 00:55:40,400
Speaker 2: Which makes it a little weird.

1215
00:55:40,840 --> 00:55:42,680
Speaker 4: But what do you think you can I don't really

1216
00:55:42,680 --> 00:55:44,800
Speaker 4: have much of a take, like, yeah, this is his brother,

1217
00:55:45,400 --> 00:55:47,520
Speaker 4: you know, I don't really care if he gets suspended,

1218
00:55:48,320 --> 00:55:51,160
Speaker 4: right the brother who cares? Literally who cares? Sons and

1219
00:55:51,200 --> 00:55:53,399
Speaker 4: four guy that happened in Denver as well, that fight,

1220
00:55:54,000 --> 00:55:56,759
Speaker 4: So maybe haven't fight that guy. Remember the Sons and

1221
00:55:56,800 --> 00:55:58,319
Speaker 4: four guy? Yeah?

1222
00:55:58,400 --> 00:56:03,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, whatever happened to that guy? Was he allowed

1223
00:56:03,280 --> 00:56:05,120
Speaker 2: back the end of the postseason? I know he was

1224
00:56:05,160 --> 00:56:09,040
Speaker 2: turned into a hero. But yeah, we'll see what the

1225
00:56:09,280 --> 00:56:12,120
Speaker 2: what the police or the NBA or the Nuggets themselves

1226
00:56:12,280 --> 00:56:15,080
Speaker 2: do with this. After the footage there, which is pretty clearly.

1227
00:56:15,160 --> 00:56:18,200
Speaker 2: You can see the bro punching them, but the guy

1228
00:56:18,280 --> 00:56:20,200
Speaker 2: took it. They just seemed to walk them.

1229
00:56:20,960 --> 00:56:24,600
Speaker 4: Damn. Maybe that's all to be. I don't know. Maybe

1230
00:56:25,239 --> 00:56:27,360
Speaker 4: before we go though, let's get to tweet of the.

1231
00:56:27,440 --> 00:56:36,120
Speaker 3: Night Tweet O the night. Wow, We've got an update

1232
00:56:36,239 --> 00:56:39,759
Speaker 3: on the Instigator draft that we did prior to the playoffs.

1233
00:56:40,000 --> 00:56:43,759
Speaker 3: We all picked players likely to have a technical or

1234
00:56:43,920 --> 00:56:47,840
Speaker 3: flagrant and to recap our teams here. Skeets's team was Beverly,

1235
00:56:48,280 --> 00:56:54,920
Speaker 3: Niang and Nurkic BNN all Business Business News Network. I

1236
00:56:55,040 --> 00:56:58,040
Speaker 3: just made all these nicknames up. Okay, well, that one's fine,

1237
00:56:58,280 --> 00:57:02,080
Speaker 3: Tatum Portis and Edward for me, t p E the

1238
00:57:02,200 --> 00:57:06,480
Speaker 3: Tea pot Exchange. We're gonna spill some tea about stuff whatever.

1239
00:57:07,480 --> 00:57:12,800
Speaker 3: Trey's Don Gobert and Wagner d g W. What do

1240
00:57:12,840 --> 00:57:13,640
Speaker 3: you think? What do you think?

1241
00:57:14,280 --> 00:57:14,520
Speaker 1: This is?

1242
00:57:14,920 --> 00:57:14,960
Speaker 3: Like?

1243
00:57:15,080 --> 00:57:19,680
Speaker 2: At where my fist is?

1244
00:57:22,960 --> 00:57:28,320
Speaker 3: Dog's gone wild dogs. These guys are dogs. These guys

1245
00:57:28,360 --> 00:57:33,360
Speaker 3: are dogs. Skeets had a lead going into Tuesday's Game

1246
00:57:33,760 --> 00:57:38,600
Speaker 3: one because Niang had a technical foul, but then the

1247
00:57:38,760 --> 00:57:40,840
Speaker 3: Dog came through with one at the end of the

1248
00:57:40,880 --> 00:57:43,360
Speaker 3: third quarter, which was an interesting one because he scored,

1249
00:57:43,760 --> 00:57:47,960
Speaker 3: but he wanted any He wanted an extra. He was angry.

1250
00:57:48,080 --> 00:57:50,680
Speaker 3: So now it is one for Skeets, one for Tray,

1251
00:57:50,800 --> 00:57:52,959
Speaker 3: zero for myself, point for TK.

1252
00:57:53,200 --> 00:57:55,680
Speaker 2: Still looking for your first one, but you have Tatum

1253
00:57:56,480 --> 00:57:57,280
Speaker 2: playing tonight.

1254
00:57:57,600 --> 00:57:59,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, Port was getting into it that we talked about earlier.

1255
00:58:01,640 --> 00:58:03,440
Speaker 4: I mean, Beverly was sort of started that too.

1256
00:58:03,520 --> 00:58:05,960
Speaker 2: I know, I was getting excited. We'll make get some points, yeah,

1257
00:58:07,320 --> 00:58:07,960
Speaker 2: just some clapping.

1258
00:58:08,280 --> 00:58:10,840
Speaker 4: I do feel like all of our guys that we picked, though,

1259
00:58:11,240 --> 00:58:13,959
Speaker 4: are getting in the mix, which I think is pretty good, because,

1260
00:58:13,960 --> 00:58:15,480
Speaker 4: like I'm watching these I'm like, oh, who should I

1261
00:58:15,520 --> 00:58:17,320
Speaker 4: have drafted? Who else could I have picked?

1262
00:58:17,400 --> 00:58:17,600
Speaker 3: Drew?

1263
00:58:17,640 --> 00:58:20,320
Speaker 4: You Banks I think would have been maybe an interesting choice.

1264
00:58:20,960 --> 00:58:23,040
Speaker 4: Jade McDaniels as well. He was getting fired up and

1265
00:58:23,080 --> 00:58:25,600
Speaker 4: I kind of had forgotten, like the incident he had

1266
00:58:25,640 --> 00:58:28,040
Speaker 4: with Klay Thompson earlier this season, and of course punching

1267
00:58:28,080 --> 00:58:31,240
Speaker 4: the wall last year. But yeah, it's nice to see

1268
00:58:31,280 --> 00:58:32,920
Speaker 4: all of our guys that are living up to their reputation.

1269
00:58:33,040 --> 00:58:35,720
Speaker 2: I know. It's just another reason I'm upset that this

1270
00:58:35,960 --> 00:58:38,160
Speaker 2: Wolf Sun series could be over in a hurry, because

1271
00:58:38,160 --> 00:58:40,520
Speaker 2: I feel like the more this one goes on, you

1272
00:58:40,600 --> 00:58:41,200
Speaker 2: got Gobert.

1273
00:58:41,560 --> 00:58:45,360
Speaker 4: I got NRK like, yeah, it's like you can see it.

1274
00:58:45,680 --> 00:58:47,560
Speaker 2: It's starting to manifest, but it's gotta go along.

1275
00:58:47,600 --> 00:58:48,560
Speaker 4: It usually has to go along.

1276
00:58:48,600 --> 00:58:50,400
Speaker 2: We got to get into the five six seven where

1277
00:58:50,800 --> 00:58:53,439
Speaker 2: people are furious with these one or another. But then again,

1278
00:58:53,680 --> 00:58:55,720
Speaker 2: I guess the flip side of that is you're getting punked.

1279
00:58:56,360 --> 00:58:59,520
Speaker 2: You're down three to zero. Nirk has had enough. I

1280
00:58:59,640 --> 00:59:01,960
Speaker 2: want that hell out of this game. Yeah, you know,

1281
00:59:03,560 --> 00:59:05,440
Speaker 2: just exactly get me the hell out of here, get

1282
00:59:05,480 --> 00:59:08,600
Speaker 2: me to Cancun. So I guess that's in play all right,

1283
00:59:08,640 --> 00:59:11,840
Speaker 2: So one one zero right now in the playoffs Instigator

1284
00:59:12,000 --> 00:59:15,200
Speaker 2: Draft two games on tonight. That's it, thank god, because

1285
00:59:15,200 --> 00:59:18,640
Speaker 2: Survivor's on as well. Sure Heat Celtics seven o'clock on TNT.

1286
00:59:18,840 --> 00:59:21,720

Speaker 2: here Boston trying to go up too. Oh he trying

1289
00:59:27,280 --> 00:59:31,080
Speaker 2: to split that, and then at nine thirty it's Pelicans Thunder.

1290
00:59:32,800 --> 00:59:35,280
Speaker 2: I've leaned in hard to my take that the Thunder

1291
00:59:35,320 --> 00:59:37,760
Speaker 2: are going to crush the Pelicans tonight after sort of

1292
00:59:38,040 --> 00:59:39,720
Speaker 2: maybe getting the jitters out of the way there in

1293
00:59:39,800 --> 00:59:41,960
Speaker 2: game one but we will see. We will see so

1294
00:59:42,560 --> 00:59:44,680
Speaker 2: two games. We'll be back tomorrow at TENNEM he's trying

1295
00:59:44,680 --> 00:59:45,720
Speaker 2: to break them all down.

00:59:45,880 --> 00:59:46,400
Speaker 4: And the news.

1298
00:59:49,080 --> 00:59:53,480
Speaker 2: which one, but there is on TNT, probably prior to those.

Speaker 3: Thanks for joining us. And remember it's pronounced dag Nault

1307
01:00:11,560 --> 01:00:15,160
Speaker 3: when talking about The Thunder's head coach, although apparently he

1308
01:00:15,280 --> 01:00:18,240
Speaker 3: was introduced as that and then The Thunder had a

1309
01:00:18,800 --> 01:00:22,240
Speaker 3: text release that said he was dag Nat. Not that

1310
01:00:22,320 --> 01:00:25,920
Speaker 3: it's a huge difference dag Nault versus dag Nault. I

1311
01:00:25,960 --> 01:00:28,360
Speaker 3: don't know what to pronounce him. I don't know, That's

1312
01:00:28,440 --> 01:00:33,240
Speaker 3: all I'm saying. What does it matter? Days?

1313
01:00:33,440 --> 01:00:34,760
