Shout out my brother Mattie in here right now. 27 00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:36,280 Speaker 1: But I got the big diplomat my other brother Gelannie 28 00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:39,560 Speaker 1: McCay j mcinn filling in for my brother. So let's 29 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,720 Speaker 1: get right to it. My boy status check NBA NBA 30 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:46,600 Speaker 1: Playoff latest Celtics and Nets. I can't really be mad 31 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,880 Speaker 1: for the simple fact that they're definitely out playing Brooklyn 32 00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:53,280 Speaker 1: and it being out coached. Tatum has taken the challenge 33 00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 1: uh to guard Katie at the step up on both fans, 34 00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,320 Speaker 1: he's definitely looking like the better player in this series. 35 00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 1: I can't hate on that. Of the Celtons are the 36 00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:04,680 Speaker 1: way more physical team, I can't hear hate on that. 37 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,200 Speaker 1: But what I can can hate on the Steve Nash. 38 00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:10,040 Speaker 1: He is doing the terrible job coaching. You want to 39 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,079 Speaker 1: throw Blake in there. The last minutes of the game 40 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:13,920 Speaker 1: and see how quickly times of the ryand start getting 41 00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,520 Speaker 1: a different field. You've got Blake and LaMarcus Artis on 42 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:18,240 Speaker 1: the sideline. I don't care if they're old or not. 43 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:21,280 Speaker 1: They have the experience, they physical and they know how 44 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:23,680 Speaker 1: to play in these type of games. So he's definitely 45 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:25,920 Speaker 1: get our coach. But I give all the credit to 46 00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 1: the young guys in Boston and and uh the head coach. 47 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:31,760 Speaker 1: They're doing a great job. Absolutely. I think at some 48 00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,320 Speaker 1: point in time we got to start talking about coach Nash, 49 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 1: you know, very beloved as a player, but rights right 50 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 1: now he's on he's on the coaching he's on the 51 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:43,560 Speaker 1: sideline making a couple of questionable decisions. Like to your point, 52 00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,280 Speaker 1: I think that between LaMarcus and Blake, they could have 53 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:48,960 Speaker 1: squeezed out of fifteen twenty minutes out of the power 54 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:52,520 Speaker 1: forward center physicians, regardless of what the point of rebound 55 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:56,000 Speaker 1: position look like. But another point you spoke to is 56 00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 1: it's is it about time we start looking at the 57 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:02,360 Speaker 1: Celtics as the formula for winning, you know, like you said, 58 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:04,200 Speaker 1: we can't be mad at it. And they won through 59 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:08,120 Speaker 1: the draft. Danny Ames won through the draft, obviously, Brad 60 00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,200 Speaker 1: Stevens went to the front office and took over the 61 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:14,680 Speaker 1: driver's the driver's seat. But they won through the draft. 62 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:18,200 Speaker 1: They didn't do it through free agency. Um, you gotta 63 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,440 Speaker 1: take your hat off to what they're getting down, best team, 64 00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:22,800 Speaker 1: best defense in the league. They got an identity on 65 00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:26,119 Speaker 1: offense now as opposed to talented is players just trying 66 00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 1: to outdo each other. You know, as much as it 67 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 1: pains me and you to to, you know, give this 68 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:34,080 Speaker 1: to eat and nasty name, it might be a time 69 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:35,720 Speaker 1: that we know, give them the least a hat tap 70 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 1: out there in Boston, even though it pains me to 71 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 1: say that. Oh yeah, I mean that's and that's just 72 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 1: what it is. Broad They got the deepest and player 73 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 1: the year. They're just a better team and they're showing 74 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:45,840 Speaker 1: it right now. And take our hats off to him. 75 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 1: Next team, Heating Hawks heat up three one. They came 76 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,840 Speaker 1: in Atlanta and got one. Uh, Jimmy Butter has been 77 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 1: playing great. Um, I knew Miami was gonna win this series. 78 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 1: Miami is focused on the championship. They wouldn't focus gonna 79 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:00,520 Speaker 1: get into the playoffs. They weren't Folk was gonn getting 80 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 1: out of the first round of second round, out of 81 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,360 Speaker 1: out of West, All Eastern Conference Finals. They weren't about 82 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 1: winning the championship. They got the experience. They got the 83 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 1: team with Kyle Lowry and jim on that with Jimmy 84 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:12,200 Speaker 1: Butlo on that team, they had the championship championship experience 85 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,400 Speaker 1: they need because both of these guys are all stars. 86 00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 1: Both of these guys are proven in this league and 87 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,799 Speaker 1: they know how to win. Great coach and spostra Um. 88 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 1: It's over for allowting this game. Yeah, I mean Atlanta 89 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 1: is an advertising right now. They might be the you know, 90 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,479 Speaker 1: they might be the truffle fries to for for you know, 91 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:31,040 Speaker 1: the the heat to get to their next their next entrede. 92 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:33,000 Speaker 1: But I watched a couple of positions. I've watched a 93 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,359 Speaker 1: lot of that Heat game, and they're dialed in on 94 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:38,480 Speaker 1: defense man, their attention to detail, the wind players that 95 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 1: where they're adjusting and funding, funding, funding the people to 96 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:45,600 Speaker 1: their principles. Bad amount of bio can obviously switch out 97 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:47,160 Speaker 1: on the floor. We've talked about it on the show, 98 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 1: how he's versatil and obviously can protect the rim. Jimmy's 99 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,480 Speaker 1: out there. They're just bullying. They're bullying trade they're bullying 100 00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:57,040 Speaker 1: the young hawks. They're not giving them an opportunity to 101 00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:00,200 Speaker 1: succeed at any level, whether that's bringing the ball up 102 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,600 Speaker 1: and he's getting passed off to another person, and then 103 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:04,479 Speaker 1: by the time he gets to the half court, he 104 00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:06,880 Speaker 1: has to deal with Jimmy and somebody else. So that's 105 00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 1: a lot like how do you got to play, Steff? 106 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:11,000 Speaker 1: I feel like Trey Young is gonna have to, you know, 107 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,039 Speaker 1: sit with this one to have a big offseason where 108 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 1: he starts suddressing issues with his body. Like remember when 109 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:18,280 Speaker 1: Steph came back with a little more cat when when 110 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 1: he was a little skinny. I think Trey is gonna 111 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:22,320 Speaker 1: have to look at some doing something like that. He's 112 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,200 Speaker 1: gonna end up shooting half court shots, you know what 113 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 1: I mean the rest of his career. Yep. And they 114 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,560 Speaker 1: gave that hundred million. You know, I'm happy he got 115 00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 1: his money, But that wasn't the batman. I mean, that 116 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:33,360 Speaker 1: wasn't the robbing to being a batman. To trade Young? 117 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:37,520 Speaker 1: You know, yeah, you know the fan of nah trade 118 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:39,880 Speaker 1: trade need a wing man, another guy, bigger player that 119 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:42,120 Speaker 1: can make more plays. Next team, We'll go to a 120 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,560 Speaker 1: Sixers and Raptors man. Toronto was able to squeeze one 121 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 1: out Game four at home. Um and be playing hurt. 122 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,800 Speaker 1: But I I see, um put it up your clothes 123 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:53,880 Speaker 1: in this series out and beat it just too much. 124 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:55,640 Speaker 1: Right now, I still waiting to see what player James 125 00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,200 Speaker 1: Harden is gonna be. Actually, Maxie has been the second 126 00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:00,640 Speaker 1: best player in this series, behind and then b. He's 127 00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,120 Speaker 1: been playing well. Even Tobias has been playing well. Like 128 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 1: I said, Toronto showed a little signs every any team 129 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 1: can get one at home because of the crowd in 130 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:11,599 Speaker 1: the field. But Philadelphia is gonna intererstate this game. Yeah, 131 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,520 Speaker 1: Doc Rivers is back in that three one situation. I 132 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:16,560 Speaker 1: hope that, you know, they don't give any more weight 133 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 1: to that. But like he said, Um, the MBD is 134 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:23,600 Speaker 1: just too much. Even a halfway interest to James or 135 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:25,800 Speaker 1: out of check or whatever's going on with James is 136 00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:27,839 Speaker 1: too much for the Raptors to deal with. You got 137 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:30,680 Speaker 1: one at home, Like he said, everybody's excited in the sets. 138 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:35,000 Speaker 1: You know, there's the exchange between Champagne and Joe Joel 139 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:36,600 Speaker 1: after the game. But at the end of the day, 140 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:38,360 Speaker 1: I think that's gonna be the highlight of this series. 141 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:42,560 Speaker 1: No disrespect Facts. Next in the East. Last one, we'll 142 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:44,880 Speaker 1: go with Bucks and bulls Man. The Bucks up three one. 143 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,520 Speaker 1: Chicago was feeling good. They got that one win and 144 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 1: man thought they were gonna do something. But once again 145 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,360 Speaker 1: the Greek freak the most dominant players and shock um, 146 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:55,080 Speaker 1: he got it on his mind he could take over 147 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 1: games and from the first round and second round. He 148 00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:59,720 Speaker 1: definitely can do that as great as he is great 149 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,360 Speaker 1: coach with Bud, but is a great great coach. They 150 00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,800 Speaker 1: pay attention to detail. I've been coached by Bud and 151 00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 1: I've been I've seen this. Scotten reports that he would 152 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:10,000 Speaker 1: be prepared before games and you know everything the team 153 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:12,000 Speaker 1: like to do, which way they like to go, every 154 00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:14,440 Speaker 1: every move they like to make you know everything that 155 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:16,640 Speaker 1: you need to know to guard somebody. And but Bud 156 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:18,520 Speaker 1: is one of the best at that. You know. Mil 157 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:21,200 Speaker 1: Walker is definitely closed the series out to at home. Yep, 158 00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:23,520 Speaker 1: nothing else to say there. It was good that they 159 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:27,560 Speaker 1: didn't getting better to sweep. I know Bud, you know 160 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,320 Speaker 1: Darvin Hamm is over there. I believe darfn Haim still 161 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,200 Speaker 1: his longtime assistance. Shout out d ham my dog. But 162 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 1: like you said, too much attention to detail. Too much 163 00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:39,920 Speaker 1: playoff experience, too much Greek free. Grayson Allen is playing 164 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:42,560 Speaker 1: a role in these playoffs ironically, you know what I mean. 165 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:44,800 Speaker 1: For how much home drum there is about him, He's 166 00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:48,240 Speaker 1: carved out a nice niche in the absence of p J. Tucker. 167 00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:50,840 Speaker 1: It's not p J Tucker, but he's it's Grace and 168 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,680 Speaker 1: Allen's version of what that role should be, giving him 169 00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 1: a little bit more offense. So I think it's gonna 170 00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 1: play out well in the playoffs. So that series is over. 171 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,120 Speaker 1: I just help Zach and the Mark and rest up, 172 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 1: you know what I mean, in the off season and 173 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:06,120 Speaker 1: make another round Carusoe getting hit. We'll talk about entry 174 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 1: injuries later. I think the Chicago has just been through 175 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,920 Speaker 1: too much. And that's that's that's series is over. One 176 00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 1: more thing for we lead to East. You know we're 177 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:15,680 Speaker 1: re calling this on the Monday, Bro, But he check 178 00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 1: this out. The Celtist could be fall when it's come out, 179 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,200 Speaker 1: they could be sweeping boys and as Philadelphia could be 180 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:23,720 Speaker 1: done with Toronto. To what you think about that facts, 181 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,120 Speaker 1: I mean like he could like by the time you know, 182 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:28,160 Speaker 1: like by exactly what you said, by the time this 183 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,200 Speaker 1: comes out, that broom could be out the swifter, the broom, 184 00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 1: the little I robot whatever you know. It goes across 185 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:35,920 Speaker 1: the floor these days to get people up out of 186 00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:37,839 Speaker 1: there and get the you know, get people in the 187 00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,360 Speaker 1: trash can. But they could be on the beach somewhere. 188 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:42,440 Speaker 1: And just in just a couple of hours here, moving 189 00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:45,080 Speaker 1: on to the West Coast, we got the Warriors Nuggets. Man, 190 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,640 Speaker 1: the Warriors team is finally healthy. The team we want 191 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:49,640 Speaker 1: to see their playing like the three one against the 192 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:53,000 Speaker 1: Nuggets going home. I definitely see it. Stephan Clay having 193 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,760 Speaker 1: a big game, finishing this thing out. Yo just been great, 194 00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,599 Speaker 1: but he's just not enough. I think Draymond Green is 195 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,120 Speaker 1: showing why he's so important to that team, being able 196 00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:03,480 Speaker 1: to make these big plays and and and defend Yoka, 197 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:06,400 Speaker 1: especially in the in the in the pivotal moments of 198 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:08,680 Speaker 1: the game, last two minutes of the game, he manning 199 00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:11,080 Speaker 1: up and guarding one on one. I think that's big 200 00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:12,440 Speaker 1: for his team. But they show on a lot of 201 00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:14,679 Speaker 1: signs of the champion team, championship team that we've seen 202 00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:17,199 Speaker 1: in the past, and I'm happy to see them back. 203 00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:19,840 Speaker 1: I'm happy to see them all healthy, winning and feeling good. 204 00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,160 Speaker 1: About themselves because the league needed. I know I'm a 205 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:26,320 Speaker 1: Warrior for life uh as being alumni, but uh it's 206 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:28,080 Speaker 1: gonna be a tough game for them to close out 207 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,839 Speaker 1: because I know Yoki Gendeva is not gonna go easy. Yeah, 208 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:35,000 Speaker 1: they gotta they gotta motivated m VP candidate that doesn't 209 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,319 Speaker 1: want to go out on his home court. I agree 210 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:39,760 Speaker 1: with you completely about the Warriors. It's good to see 211 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,320 Speaker 1: Draymond turned back up. It's good to see the full 212 00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:48,040 Speaker 1: contingent out there on the court, Draymond, staff Clay being available. Obviously, 213 00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,880 Speaker 1: Pool has done a great job and put himself into 214 00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:53,640 Speaker 1: but they got a like commina that those young players 215 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:55,679 Speaker 1: that got a lot of experience while Steph was out, 216 00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:58,920 Speaker 1: while Dre is out, they're able to keep themselves focused 217 00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:00,400 Speaker 1: and when they get an opportunity at the end of 218 00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:03,160 Speaker 1: the game and big games during playoffs, shout out to 219 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:06,040 Speaker 1: those young kids. They're having their moments. So I can't 220 00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:09,320 Speaker 1: imagine not being a bad thing for the Warriors moving forward. 221 00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:12,719 Speaker 1: The Nuggets, they don't have their full compliments that they 222 00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:15,520 Speaker 1: usually work with. But like you said, joke is the 223 00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:17,440 Speaker 1: m v P. He might be able to pull another 224 00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:19,840 Speaker 1: one out on home, depending on what's going on on 225 00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:22,640 Speaker 1: the Warriors situation. But the Warriors should take care of 226 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:26,360 Speaker 1: business and not to like again, not in the near future. 227 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:28,680 Speaker 1: We're gonna go on to the Sons and Pelicans. This 228 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,040 Speaker 1: is a surprise series for a lot of people because 229 00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:34,760 Speaker 1: of the injury to Devin Booker, and it's showing how 230 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,320 Speaker 1: important he is to this team. But I gotta give 231 00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:40,840 Speaker 1: props to Willie Green and the Pelicans because regardless who's 232 00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:43,559 Speaker 1: on the court, these guys are coming prepared. They're competing 233 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,079 Speaker 1: their young team, a real young team, and a lot 234 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:48,400 Speaker 1: of these guys just their first time experience in the playoffs. 235 00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:52,440 Speaker 1: So to be without Zion, a new team, a young coach, 236 00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 1: and to be able to compete with the best team 237 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,440 Speaker 1: in the league to be too too. Regardless who's on 238 00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:58,760 Speaker 1: the court right now, they still have Chris Paul. Kudos 239 00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:00,640 Speaker 1: to them and shouts out to them. But for being 240 00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:02,559 Speaker 1: ready to play and stepping up to the moment. I 241 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:05,360 Speaker 1: don't know how long the book is gonna be out, um, 242 00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:07,600 Speaker 1: but they definitely need him at as you as you see. 243 00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,080 Speaker 1: But if he if he don't come back in the series, 244 00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:12,480 Speaker 1: it's gonna be harder things to get out of this one. 245 00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:16,120 Speaker 1: It's gonna be a problem. El Sinco. You already already 246 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:21,680 Speaker 1: know that that matchup with Valutunist and Jackson Hayes them 247 00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,199 Speaker 1: at the four and five. I feel like it's is 248 00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:26,840 Speaker 1: a lot for for them to deal with right now. 249 00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:29,320 Speaker 1: Willie green Is, you know, it's done a great job 250 00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:31,960 Speaker 1: with the lineups and getting the matchups that he thinks 251 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:35,120 Speaker 1: that he need. Obviously, Devin Booker not being there, there's 252 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:37,920 Speaker 1: a big hole. Crowder didn't have a great start to 253 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:40,040 Speaker 1: the playoffs. I think he hit like he's finally hit 254 00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:42,400 Speaker 1: his first three last game. He's been able to do 255 00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,680 Speaker 1: some things defensively well, like that he normally does. But 256 00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,439 Speaker 1: I think they got a problem. You know what's gonna 257 00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:52,280 Speaker 1: be the issue is is Alvarado. The Alvarado CP three 258 00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:55,640 Speaker 1: thing is a thing for this series. Every series has 259 00:11:55,640 --> 00:12:00,559 Speaker 1: a backstory. He is getting on CP three's last nerves, 260 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:02,839 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I just love everything about him. 261 00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,079 Speaker 1: He was the a C C player, the defensive player 262 00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:07,600 Speaker 1: of the year. I love the hair and the bun 263 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:10,319 Speaker 1: in the New York He's just not fearful, like you said, 264 00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:13,920 Speaker 1: like he fits with that young team. He's not fearful. 265 00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:16,040 Speaker 1: He got him with the with the what the what 266 00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:18,240 Speaker 1: the job ass thing he does when he post the 267 00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:20,520 Speaker 1: ball from behind you. CP three didn't think he's gonna 268 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:22,839 Speaker 1: be able to get him. He seems to know about 269 00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,000 Speaker 1: the situation. He knows this is a good time to 270 00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,480 Speaker 1: play himself into some money. Jack, get us some type 271 00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:29,760 Speaker 1: of identity. But with the fan base, be a favorite, 272 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:31,719 Speaker 1: you know, a fan favorite, so I just want to 273 00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:33,200 Speaker 1: kill I just think we should keep an eye on 274 00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:36,680 Speaker 1: that situation. And like you said, nobody thought the Pelicans. 275 00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:39,160 Speaker 1: And Pelicans been through a lot, from the twelfth seed 276 00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:42,840 Speaker 1: into the playing into these moments. I think they're primed 277 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:45,840 Speaker 1: and ready for a situation where if a superstar falls out. 278 00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:48,280 Speaker 1: I think because they're young, they don't know no better. 279 00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:51,680 Speaker 1: And theause this this this could be our first round upset. 280 00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:55,160 Speaker 1: Shout out C. J. Mccaully too for for leading these 281 00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:58,160 Speaker 1: young boys and carrying the team right now. He's bawling 282 00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:01,120 Speaker 1: Grizzlys t Wolves, Man, I see this one going seven. 283 00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:04,800 Speaker 1: You look at Game one, because the stars are showing 284 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:07,080 Speaker 1: up in this series. Game one to start, one of 285 00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:09,960 Speaker 1: the stars in Minnesota after was stepped up. He had 286 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,840 Speaker 1: a big game for the point game. Game one game too. 287 00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:16,400 Speaker 1: You've seen that job wasn't going like that. He told everybody, 288 00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:19,800 Speaker 1: stay calm, don't worry about it. They gets in Minnesota. 289 00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:22,480 Speaker 1: Minnesota get off to a good stop, but the star again, 290 00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:25,480 Speaker 1: Josh shows up again and carries his team to come 291 00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:29,319 Speaker 1: back win in Minnesota Game four. The other star in Minnesota, 292 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:31,760 Speaker 1: Cat was like, nah, it ain't going down as the 293 00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:34,080 Speaker 1: polt of that team. He's done it. So the stars 294 00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:36,920 Speaker 1: are showing up in this series. I see it going seven. 295 00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:38,800 Speaker 1: But it's a good series to watch. This has been 296 00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:41,400 Speaker 1: one of my best favorite series to watch. To watch 297 00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:44,920 Speaker 1: the matturation and Cat during this playoff series because he 298 00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:47,080 Speaker 1: could have easily laid the laid the egg. He didn't 299 00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:49,800 Speaker 1: have the best start um the way, Like you said, 300 00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:52,920 Speaker 1: the stars are showing up and providing moments, not you know, 301 00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:56,720 Speaker 1: not one to relinquish any type of advantage. I think 302 00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:59,120 Speaker 1: this is this is up there with one of the 303 00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:03,040 Speaker 1: better series we've seen this postseason. We obviously know Jaws 304 00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:05,680 Speaker 1: gonna step to the table. He's is probably gonna have 305 00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:08,640 Speaker 1: some signature moments by the end of this playoff series. 306 00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:11,120 Speaker 1: At the end of this playoffs season, but like Desmond Bain. 307 00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:14,000 Speaker 1: Didn't he go like two straight games hitting seven threes 308 00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:17,080 Speaker 1: or something like that during the season. So again, stat 309 00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:19,880 Speaker 1: you played in the playoffs. We both played in the league. 310 00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:22,440 Speaker 1: There are times in the playoffs where you can play 311 00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:26,520 Speaker 1: yourself into a bad from one playoff series playing in 312 00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:29,280 Speaker 1: the pressure ride situation. We know a lot of guys, 313 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:32,480 Speaker 1: a lot of guys, even not as talented as guys 314 00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:35,520 Speaker 1: in contract situations, but the fact that they came through 315 00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:38,840 Speaker 1: in those playoffs series for fan bases, it became fan 316 00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:41,200 Speaker 1: fan favorites. They were able to play that to a 317 00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:43,160 Speaker 1: couple of multi year contract you know what I mean, 318 00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:44,960 Speaker 1: for a little bit of stability. So I think that's 319 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,760 Speaker 1: an opportunity for a guy on Memphis or the Wolves team. 320 00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,120 Speaker 1: There's a couple of players that are in those situations. 321 00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:51,920 Speaker 1: So that should be you know, there should be an 322 00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:53,760 Speaker 1: asterisk next to that series because it's been a good 323 00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:56,560 Speaker 1: win and it should continue to be. Yeah, definitely gonna 324 00:14:56,560 --> 00:15:00,200 Speaker 1: be good. When I'm tuned the end of that one 325 00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:10,560 Speaker 1: final playoff series in the Western Conference, the Jazz and MAVs. 326 00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:13,080 Speaker 1: Hey man, I'm I'm just gonna start it with saying bye, 327 00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:16,440 Speaker 1: I'm upset with Jay Kidd. Let me tell you why 328 00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:18,440 Speaker 1: I'm upset with. Let me tell you why I'm upset with, 329 00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:21,560 Speaker 1: Jay Kidd. You go and you go up in the 330 00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:25,720 Speaker 1: series to one, you win the first game in Utah. 331 00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:30,000 Speaker 1: Brunson is bawling. He is carrying his team. Lucas still injured, 332 00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:32,880 Speaker 1: but Luca getting the chance to rest, and you bring 333 00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:36,480 Speaker 1: Luca back game for and y'all end up having to 334 00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:38,960 Speaker 1: let down because Brunson had to take the seat back 335 00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:42,200 Speaker 1: to Luca. You gotta ride that wave. You gotta let 336 00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:44,680 Speaker 1: Brunson continue to roll and give Luca another another game 337 00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:46,680 Speaker 1: to rest. And then that just in case you could 338 00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:48,840 Speaker 1: arrest you. You You could have sealed it at home. But 339 00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:51,640 Speaker 1: they made a bad decision with bringing Luca back that game. 340 00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:54,200 Speaker 1: The should have let Bronson rock out, but shot out, 341 00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:58,120 Speaker 1: shot out to Bondanovitch, he is really taking the uh, 342 00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:00,880 Speaker 1: the challenge to guard Luca. He picking him up full court, 343 00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:03,600 Speaker 1: getting still trying to getting pushed offs on Luca. Lucas 344 00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:06,320 Speaker 1: still killing him, but he's taking the challenge and UH 345 00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:08,360 Speaker 1: and they're playing well. Donovan Mitchell and a big for 346 00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:10,520 Speaker 1: the play where to see that game the other day. 347 00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:12,840 Speaker 1: But I think if if the if the marriage would 348 00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:15,080 Speaker 1: have left brushing Rock again on the road just to 349 00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:18,400 Speaker 1: see because there was rolling with without without Luca, and 350 00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:20,640 Speaker 1: gave Luca an extra day to rest. I think they'll 351 00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:22,880 Speaker 1: be going home three one instead of two too. Yeah, 352 00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:26,160 Speaker 1: that's that's tough. I mean, if Jaked, if Lucas probably 353 00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:28,560 Speaker 1: putting a lot of pressure on Jaked, if Jack kid 354 00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:31,880 Speaker 1: don't want to lose no playoff game in his first stint, 355 00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:34,960 Speaker 1: if there's some of you know, if Lucas some type 356 00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:38,320 Speaker 1: of Luca is available, I get it. That's the fifty fifty. 357 00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:42,400 Speaker 1: But to your point, Jathan Brunson has been balling, you 358 00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:44,320 Speaker 1: know what I mean, and he has the pulse of 359 00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:46,880 Speaker 1: that team. He's done a great job in Lucas absence. 360 00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:49,840 Speaker 1: He's kind of done a great job under the tutelage 361 00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:53,640 Speaker 1: of JACIB. But you know, that's I couldn't. I could 362 00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:57,200 Speaker 1: easily understand that, you know, JACB being sweating about getting 363 00:16:57,280 --> 00:16:59,440 Speaker 1: Luca back into the line, because I'm pretty sure it 364 00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:03,520 Speaker 1: was coming from on high. Luca. He probably was second guesting, 365 00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:05,040 Speaker 1: like if I'm gonna go out, I might as well 366 00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:07,639 Speaker 1: go out, you know with Luca. But you you do 367 00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:11,479 Speaker 1: have there is some validity to your point about you know, 368 00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:15,160 Speaker 1: protecting your superstar and the fact that Brentson was playing 369 00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:18,119 Speaker 1: so well, let's talk about injuries, man, How important injuries 370 00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:20,240 Speaker 1: all to the playoffs. I always talk about when we 371 00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:22,880 Speaker 1: won the championship and oh three we went, we ran 372 00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,040 Speaker 1: through that, we were into Dallas in the Western Conference 373 00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:28,040 Speaker 1: finals and Dirk got hurt. That was a big load 374 00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:29,840 Speaker 1: off us. You know, we end up winning four two, 375 00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:32,240 Speaker 1: But I know everybody in their mama, no, it would 376 00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:34,439 Speaker 1: have been a different series if Dirt would have been there. Right, 377 00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:36,119 Speaker 1: I'm not saying they would have won, but you know 378 00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:37,440 Speaker 1: what I'm saying, it might not have been four to 379 00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:41,119 Speaker 1: probably the seven games. But having to beat out, having 380 00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:44,800 Speaker 1: Step out, having Simmons out, having Booked out, and having 381 00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:48,399 Speaker 1: Middleton out. That is all stars, that is all key players, 382 00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:52,120 Speaker 1: two teams, you know, And uh, I really think that 383 00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:55,119 Speaker 1: Phoenix is gonna feel it the most, you know, not 384 00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:58,600 Speaker 1: having book his scoring, his leadership on the team. They 385 00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:00,840 Speaker 1: don't even have close to having other players that can 386 00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:03,800 Speaker 1: go out there and get buckets like he can. And uh, 387 00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:07,000 Speaker 1: as you see in this series is uh, it's taking 388 00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:09,400 Speaker 1: a lot of pressure off New Orleans on defense because 389 00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:11,119 Speaker 1: they don't have to worry about the problem coming down 390 00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:13,600 Speaker 1: to getting thirty to four. They every night, right they 391 00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:16,119 Speaker 1: can they can really focus on Chris Paul his playmaking 392 00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:18,240 Speaker 1: and try to see what other guys are are ready 393 00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:20,680 Speaker 1: to step up and beat you, and they they don't 394 00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:22,439 Speaker 1: have guys it's ready to do that right now. But 395 00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:25,840 Speaker 1: so for me, you know, um, definitely not having a 396 00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:30,040 Speaker 1: Simmons for Brooklyn also is a big problem. Um. But 397 00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:32,640 Speaker 1: with me, it's not the same as em beating book 398 00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:34,800 Speaker 1: in Middleton. It's not the same. This guy just don't 399 00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:36,480 Speaker 1: want to play. I mean, you want to, you want 400 00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:38,879 Speaker 1: to show video, You want to show videos a duncan, 401 00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:41,000 Speaker 1: but you can't. You could while you while you can't 402 00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:42,640 Speaker 1: do that in the game. I just don't get that 403 00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:44,359 Speaker 1: your team is at the point where they are about 404 00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:47,440 Speaker 1: the season is about to be ended by Boston, and 405 00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:50,119 Speaker 1: now you're still sitting on the sidelines, probably worrying about 406 00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:52,520 Speaker 1: some lawsuits. You got to get some money or I 407 00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:55,720 Speaker 1: don't know what's going on. But I would not want 408 00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:57,440 Speaker 1: to be his teammate right now because I know I'd 409 00:18:57,440 --> 00:18:59,840 Speaker 1: be speaking my mind to him and I'm pretty sure 410 00:18:59,880 --> 00:19:04,159 Speaker 1: he would like Man, it's tough. It's tough to to 411 00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:07,040 Speaker 1: to not have an opinion on how things have gone. 412 00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:08,840 Speaker 1: If we're in the locker room together, if we're on 413 00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:11,040 Speaker 1: the team together, it's like I'm trying to hold you down. 414 00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:13,479 Speaker 1: It's like, I mean, come on, man, I'm not asking 415 00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:15,159 Speaker 1: that you come out here and you know, give me 416 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:16,959 Speaker 1: a double double. But if you can come out here 417 00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:19,800 Speaker 1: and play fifteen minutes, help out on the defense of 418 00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:22,720 Speaker 1: some of the defensive responsibilities, some of the ball handling. 419 00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:25,480 Speaker 1: We already talked about injuries and nobody's healthy and have 420 00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:27,920 Speaker 1: we both played through injuries. He played a lot more 421 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,879 Speaker 1: minutes heavy, with a lot more responsibilities than I have. 422 00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:33,520 Speaker 1: But it can be done. These are the moments that 423 00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:36,280 Speaker 1: the playoffs are about, and beat is doing it with 424 00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:39,280 Speaker 1: a handle on. That means everything. So although Steph is 425 00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:41,840 Speaker 1: out on the court, we still know that he's not 426 00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:46,600 Speaker 1: at add percent. Booker Middleton Zion for Pete Sex, you 427 00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:48,119 Speaker 1: know what I mean. We can't even get his eye on. 428 00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:51,399 Speaker 1: Is trying to get on the court, going between the legs, 429 00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:53,399 Speaker 1: letting people know he wants to rock, you know what 430 00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:56,240 Speaker 1: I mean, sitting on the sideline, thirsty. I just don't 431 00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:59,160 Speaker 1: see the thirstiness and being sentence on the sideline cool 432 00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:02,840 Speaker 1: and then Jimmy hend the sunglasses chilling and the spongebobish 433 00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:06,560 Speaker 1: types outfit. It's not enough urgency for me, considering what 434 00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:09,040 Speaker 1: what that team has already been through, for the coaches 435 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:11,840 Speaker 1: and the front office people that have put their jobs 436 00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:14,800 Speaker 1: on the line to put the young Memphis team the room. 437 00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:18,480 Speaker 1: Just a little bit of appreciation and activity I feel 438 00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:20,280 Speaker 1: like would have went a long way as far as 439 00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:24,000 Speaker 1: the Ben Simmons saga goes. But again to your great point, 440 00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:27,480 Speaker 1: injuries have always been appointed the game, a part of 441 00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:29,919 Speaker 1: the game, especially in the playoffs. But you know what 442 00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:31,720 Speaker 1: I mean as far as it goes with Ben, we 443 00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:33,920 Speaker 1: would like to see him at least try. I don't 444 00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:35,920 Speaker 1: even care if he's the video of him trying and 445 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,040 Speaker 1: then his back hurts and they pull him out. At 446 00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:39,840 Speaker 1: least that does help us in the locker room and 447 00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:42,040 Speaker 1: the sideline with the fellas. I don't know what they're 448 00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:44,119 Speaker 1: playing off off season if he's gonna be there, like, 449 00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:46,600 Speaker 1: he's still gonna have some type of buying with with 450 00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:49,240 Speaker 1: with the guys. So injuries are a part. I think 451 00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:51,720 Speaker 1: they're gonna have a play a bigger part in this playoffs. 452 00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:53,840 Speaker 1: We we don't know if anybody else is gonna get 453 00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:57,120 Speaker 1: hurt moving forward. So like you had another great point 454 00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:59,440 Speaker 1: about CP three having to make an adjustment because he 455 00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:02,159 Speaker 1: usually else to the fourth quarter and then he starts 456 00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:04,800 Speaker 1: turning on his offense. But right now he doesn't have 457 00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:07,840 Speaker 1: deep book to take over that first, second, and third quarter, 458 00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:09,679 Speaker 1: and he's gonna be hell is stressed out by the 459 00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:12,399 Speaker 1: time he gets to the fourth and he's playing against Alvarado. 460 00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:15,080 Speaker 1: So injury is gonna be a major factor grooming forward. 461 00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:19,560 Speaker 1: And and and the closed Middleton Milwaukee, we gotta watch. 462 00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:22,120 Speaker 1: We gotta watch that because Middleton is definitely their closer 463 00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:25,199 Speaker 1: and they need him in those closing moments because the 464 00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:27,879 Speaker 1: regree can only do so much as playmaking. So you 465 00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:31,880 Speaker 1: need to watch that as well. Good car on the Radar, 466 00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:35,800 Speaker 1: presented to you by Draft Kings, Injuries and storyline shape up. 467 00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:39,560 Speaker 1: The latest odds for conference winners the conference winners for 468 00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:43,359 Speaker 1: the Eastern Conference, they have Boston plus one thirty five, 469 00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:48,040 Speaker 1: Miami plus three hundred, Milwaukee plus three fifty, and Philly 470 00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:50,360 Speaker 1: plus three ninety, which one of them all As you're 471 00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:54,600 Speaker 1: taking Jay Mack after I've seen what I've seen from Miami, man, 472 00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:56,960 Speaker 1: and in the last if it can carry you over, 473 00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:58,919 Speaker 1: Like I always try to take a chance. I know 474 00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:02,080 Speaker 1: it's easy to say Austin and Milwaukee in a couple 475 00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:03,960 Speaker 1: of the sad class, but I always take a chance 476 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:05,879 Speaker 1: with some of my picks. So I'm gonna roll with 477 00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:09,679 Speaker 1: those Miami odds. Yeah, I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go 478 00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:11,960 Speaker 1: with Miami tune now, and I like the way they 479 00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:14,400 Speaker 1: if just just the way it's shaping out right now, 480 00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:16,800 Speaker 1: they'll be matching up with Boston. I like the way 481 00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:18,800 Speaker 1: they match up with Boston. Not not sure if they 482 00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:20,879 Speaker 1: can beat Boston, but I like the match up. I 483 00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:23,040 Speaker 1: know they're a physical team and they're gonna meet their 484 00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:28,920 Speaker 1: physicality right Yeah. Absolutely. And the collaboration in Miami between 485 00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:32,880 Speaker 1: Spo and Karen shoutout tough Jews and in unity over there, 486 00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:35,720 Speaker 1: they seem they have like an open form of discussion 487 00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:38,840 Speaker 1: before even gets to the bench, and you know that 488 00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:41,120 Speaker 1: means you know what that means in the locker room 489 00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:43,439 Speaker 1: like that, especially in the playoff room, that means everything. 490 00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:46,600 Speaker 1: So they just seem dialed in too much attention to detail. 491 00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:49,680 Speaker 1: Like we spoke earlier, and too much, too much spoke. Yeah, 492 00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:53,360 Speaker 1: those player voices definitely matter. Let's go to the Western Conference. 493 00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:57,040 Speaker 1: They gotta go to State plus one thirty Phoenix plus 494 00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:00,400 Speaker 1: two twenty, Memphis plus five hundred and Dad, it's plast 495 00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:04,600 Speaker 1: one thousand.

So I'm gonna 684 00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:13,680 Speaker 1: give you the floor to expand on what exactly you 685 00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:17,440 Speaker 1: meant by that post. Yeah, well, you know, it's at 686 00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:21,080 Speaker 1: a point now where we can't be using other people 687 00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:23,920 Speaker 1: for examples. I mean, you use other people as excuses 688 00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:28,120 Speaker 1: for our success or other people as excuses for telling 689 00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:31,200 Speaker 1: our stories wrong. We have so many shows now, we 690 00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:34,320 Speaker 1: have so many avenues and platforms like we have all 691 00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:37,200 Speaker 1: the smoke or war winning shows like ours and other 692 00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:42,640 Speaker 1: and other platforms that we control our own narrative. And 693 00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:47,320 Speaker 1: it seems anytime we have um some type of issue 694 00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:49,160 Speaker 1: or go through something in life where it blows up 695 00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:51,080 Speaker 1: in the media and it's just an instant hit when 696 00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:53,640 Speaker 1: people talk about it is drama. When it's time for 697 00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:56,320 Speaker 1: us to really everything's out and really clear the story 698 00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:58,920 Speaker 1: out and tell the truth, we always go to places 699 00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:02,680 Speaker 1: where these are the same people that was demeaning you 700 00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:05,880 Speaker 1: the whole time, right so, and and then you runt 701 00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:07,680 Speaker 1: to them to tell you runting them to tell your 702 00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:10,440 Speaker 1: story and really they're not laughing, but they're not laughing 703 00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:13,360 Speaker 1: with you, they're laughing at you. And we put ourselves 704 00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:15,560 Speaker 1: in these and in these predicaments so many times where 705 00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:18,760 Speaker 1: our stories been getting told by other people and after 706 00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:22,160 Speaker 1: after all over the media, all over the tabloids. Oh, 707 00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:24,760 Speaker 1: I didn't say that all Why they twisted it like that? 708 00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:26,600 Speaker 1: They didn't ask me that that way, you know. So 709 00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:29,760 Speaker 1: it just it just sucks that we're still trying to 710 00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:34,360 Speaker 1: use um other people for excuses when we work so 711 00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:36,360 Speaker 1: hard to be in a position we are now to 712 00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:38,440 Speaker 1: be able to have podcasts, to be able to have 713 00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:41,120 Speaker 1: shows that we control our on that to tell our 714 00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:43,800 Speaker 1: own stories and tell them the right way. I appreciate 715 00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:46,040 Speaker 1: all of athletes and guests that's been on our show 716 00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:48,480 Speaker 1: because that's what they trusted to do. They come there 717 00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:50,360 Speaker 1: and we want to catch that vibe that we bring, 718 00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:53,080 Speaker 1: but also expect us to touch on some real topics 719 00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:55,600 Speaker 1: and to and to open up to them the same 720 00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:57,480 Speaker 1: way they opened up to us. But they know they're guarded. 721 00:33:57,520 --> 00:33:59,440 Speaker 1: At the same time, we're not trying to demean anyone, 722 00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:02,440 Speaker 1: and a lot of rappers are are using the million 723 00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:04,800 Speaker 1: dollars a game with Gillen Willow as their platform to 724 00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:06,920 Speaker 1: tell their stories because they know it's gonna be told right. 725 00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:08,839 Speaker 1: It ain't gonna be watered down, and people are gonna 726 00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:10,319 Speaker 1: be able to hear it clear. We have to take 727 00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:12,960 Speaker 1: advantage of each other, uh and and and support each 728 00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:14,759 Speaker 1: other to be proud of each other. But being in 729 00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:16,799 Speaker 1: a position that for a long time we couldn't be 730 00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:19,960 Speaker 1: in right, So we gotta take advantage of these opportunities. 731 00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:23,440 Speaker 1: The doors are open if we don't get it together 732 00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:27,160 Speaker 1: and and and rally up like some many other communities, 733 00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:29,920 Speaker 1: and like we always talk about in our community about 734 00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:33,080 Speaker 1: rallying together and putting them played together and making it 735 00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:37,280 Speaker 1: beneficial for everybody. One thing that I I love about 736 00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:39,920 Speaker 1: working for show Time, and honestly, while I feel so 737 00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:43,120 Speaker 1: honored to be working about working with you and Matt, 738 00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:45,600 Speaker 1: is that the time. Nobody knows the time and the 739 00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:48,600 Speaker 1: effort you guys put into this. And even before I 740 00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:51,360 Speaker 1: came on, there was a great period where you have 741 00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:54,200 Speaker 1: to make sure you sweat me about being you know, technique, 742 00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:57,040 Speaker 1: making sure I got everything study and everything. Shout out 743 00:34:57,080 --> 00:34:59,239 Speaker 1: to e who you know what I mean, who who 744 00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:03,480 Speaker 1: are studying that the need so the authenticity cannot be duplicated. 745 00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:06,080 Speaker 1: It's not fake. Nothing about this show is fake. I 746 00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:08,879 Speaker 1: think we always have a responsibility, even in the edits 747 00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:11,000 Speaker 1: when I'm on the post side, about making sure we're 748 00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:14,120 Speaker 1: painting everybody with enough love and life as you and 749 00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:17,239 Speaker 1: Matt do on the show, saying I know everybody on 750 00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:20,320 Speaker 1: the team takes that very seriously, whether it's the cameraman, 751 00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:23,440 Speaker 1: audio guy. It's just so like it really feels like 752 00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:27,040 Speaker 1: almost like an NBA environment where you know somebody's coming 753 00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:29,319 Speaker 1: from the front office and you know somebody's helping you 754 00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:32,200 Speaker 1: with this and that, Like, I take my job very seriously, 755 00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:33,799 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I'm very proud to wear 756 00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:36,799 Speaker 1: all the smoke merchandise. I take you know, my my 757 00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:40,000 Speaker 1: relationship with you and Matt seriously. You know, obviously we're 758 00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:42,319 Speaker 1: ours is gonna We knew each other for a long time, 759 00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:44,480 Speaker 1: but it's continue to evolve in this space. And I 760 00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:48,360 Speaker 1: couldn't whole heartily agree with you about taking advantage about 761 00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:51,839 Speaker 1: using us to tell our stories and then we don't 762 00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:54,440 Speaker 1: have an excuse to blame somebody else. Yeah, and I 763 00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:56,279 Speaker 1: gotta I gotta go back and give that shot at 764 00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:58,080 Speaker 1: the showtime. You know, this one thing I love about 765 00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:00,640 Speaker 1: the partnership. Then let us come to that does control 766 00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:03,279 Speaker 1: our own environment. Like one thing about Once you meet 767 00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:06,440 Speaker 1: me and Matt, you'll understand that we open everybody. You know, 768 00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:08,400 Speaker 1: love fall. We have love fall. We are we stand 769 00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:10,120 Speaker 1: on that, you know what I mean, and we want 770 00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:12,600 Speaker 1: to see everybody win. So if we can create that 771 00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:15,760 Speaker 1: type of environment, you know, we're all races working together, 772 00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:18,759 Speaker 1: getting the job done, everybody feeling good and enjoining their 773 00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:20,960 Speaker 1: work and their work environment. If we can create this 774 00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:23,919 Speaker 1: environment such a short time, there's so many other people 775 00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:26,399 Speaker 1: that's willing to create that environment but don't have that 776 00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:29,440 Speaker 1: don't have the opportunity, right. So if you see people 777 00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:33,160 Speaker 1: with that opportunity, continue to support them. And if you 778 00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:35,399 Speaker 1: know they're paying the narrative the right way and doing 779 00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:37,239 Speaker 1: the right thing and not trying to demean any race 780 00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:39,400 Speaker 1: or any culture, you've got to support them because that's 781 00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:40,920 Speaker 1: the type of shows we need on TV, and that's 782 00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:43,920 Speaker 1: the people that need to be controlling the narrative. Well, 783 00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:49,360 Speaker 1: he said, what's burning available every week at showtime YouTube 784 00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:53,960 Speaker 1: and on Twitter, Instagram and TikTok at show basketball. Yeah, 785 00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:56,840 Speaker 1: I have a good one piece m
