00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:05,600
Speaker 1: Welcome in What's drive in the Great episode three twenty seven.

2
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:10,479
Speaker 1: I'll be honest, A show that the audience is likely

3
00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:13,360
Speaker 1: looking forward to quite a bit more than me. A

4
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:16,800
Speaker 1: show that you know, it's very ironic. I'm drinking out

5
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:20,360
Speaker 1: of the coffee cup game theory with Bamani Jones. Bimani

6
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:24,320
Speaker 1: texts me this morning, just trolling me. Well, he started

7
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:27,640
Speaker 1: by trolling JJ Reddick, but then he started trolling me

8
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 1: saying shame the Lakers didn't last long enough for us

9
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:34,040
Speaker 1: to watch a playoff game together. That would have been fun.

10
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 1: And I wrote him back. Given how the Lakers playoffs win,

11
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 1: it wouldn't have been fun at all. And so listen,

12
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:43,000
Speaker 1: let's just get into Demons High. Good to see, uh,

13
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 1: happy to see. I love you, I'm proud of you.

14
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 1: You're my believed great awesome fun stuff. Let's get to

15
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 1: what missed the cut. Stefan Castle becomes a fourth San

16
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 1: Antonio spur To win Rookie of the Year. If he

17
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 1: does not end his career as one of the twenty

18
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 1: five greatest players of all time, he has not carried

19
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 1: on that legacy. No big shoes, kiddo, but Robinson's there

20
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 1: Duncan's there, Wimby appears to be on his way, Dyson

21
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 1: Daniels wins Most Improved Player and Boston Flute Gentleman sweep

22
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:21,400
Speaker 1: of Orlando. A reminder, please like, rate, subscribe, review, check

23
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:24,679
Speaker 1: out the podcast you control me in the comments. It's final,

24
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 1: be honest. Probably won't be reading them today, but the

25
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:31,679
Speaker 1: producers might pick a select few to bring to my

26
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 1: attention if they find them particularly funny. Because it's not

27
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 1: just that I'm bummed. It's not just this the second

28
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:41,479
Speaker 1: straight year that the Lakers and Lebron and the playoffs

29
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 1: don't get out of round one. It's also that this

30
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 1: is the first Lakers playoff loss since Lebron's been there

31
00:01:53,720 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 1: that is shocking. This one is shocking to me. The

32
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 1: the when they lost to the Suns that series turned

33
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 1: on Anthony Davis. Pulling is growing. Like I thought they

34
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 1: would win that series. But your second best player, best player,

35
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 1: I don't know. Depending on how you viewed Anthony Davis,

36
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:17,239
Speaker 1: then Pulls is growing. It changes two years ago when

37
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 1: they got all the way to the conference finals, I

38
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 1: thought they could win. They obviously got swept by Denver,

39
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 1: but it wasn't shocking that they lost last year. When

40
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 1: I they got Denver in round one and Denver was

41
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 1: the overwhelming favorite, I said, hey, if you're ever gonna

42
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:36,800
Speaker 1: beat Denver, round ones the time that you have the

43
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:40,080
Speaker 1: best chance. But I wasn't shocked by it. This one

44
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:44,359
Speaker 1: shocked me. And so I have some you know, accounting

45
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,079
Speaker 1: to do on that front. And so I'm not sure

46
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 1: how much we're going to talk about today that isn't

47
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 1: about the end of the Lakers season, the ascension of

48
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:55,960
Speaker 1: Anthony Edwards, Rudy Gobert having his annual Rudy Gobert game,

49
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,519
Speaker 1: which is honestly demons here is. You know, it's really

50
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:05,640
Speaker 1: important to remember stay humble, like Gianness would say, stay humble,

51
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 1: be grounded, because nobody took more pleasure on TV last

52
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 1: year than me in the root the last Rudy go

53
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 1: Beart game we got, because that was against Denver in

54
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 1: Game seven, and Kevin Wilds was covered in shame and

55
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 1: I got to mock him for it. And I've never

56
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 1: really been a Rudy Gobert guy. I don't know if

57
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 1: there are many Rudy Gobert guys outside of Leone. However,

58
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 1: I enjoyed that performance and then the Rudy go beart

59
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 1: game came for me and in really maddening fashion. So again,

60
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 1: subscribe on YouTube, hit the bell, subscribe on all your

61
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 1: podcast platforms, and now demands go ahead.

62
00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 2: Yeah. So the Lakers season ended last night, I think,

63
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 2: and the hands of Anthony Edwards and the Timberwolves, so

64
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 2: might say. Rudy Gobert JJ w Rennick had a similar scheme.

65
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 2: He played his starters a lot of minutes. They came

66
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 2: closer at the end, but then kind of ran out

67
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 2: of gas. They couldn't do it. How'd you get this

68
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 2: series so wrong? You said there was this one they

69
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 2: obviously didn't.

70
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,479
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, and I said Lakers. I said my favorite

71
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:24,280
Speaker 1: bet was Lakers minus a game and a half, meaning

72
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 1: Lakers in four or five or six. And when I

73
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,719
Speaker 1: was giving the analysis of that bet, I said, I

74
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:34,040
Speaker 1: didn't even really consider the possibility of the Lakers losing

75
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,360
Speaker 1: the series. Is the reason the bet didn't come in.

76
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:40,679
Speaker 1: I thought it was because the Lakers, you know, maybe

77
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 1: they win in seven, but I thought they would. I

78
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:45,600
Speaker 1: thought they would be hard fought games. The Lakers were

79
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 1: clearly better. So I do want to start with me

80
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:55,920
Speaker 1: because I gotta a whiff this strong, you gotta figure out.

81
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 1: You gotta kind of do an autopsy, a post mortem

82
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:05,280
Speaker 1: of your own tape. And the number one thing that

83
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 1: I clearly overestimated going into this postseason was how dynamic

84
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 1: and unstoppable the Lakers offense would be. I thought there

85
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 1: was a little too much attention paid to the Lakers

86
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 1: defensive deficiencies, not because I thought they'd be a great defense,

87
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 1: but because I thought it was pretty clear we had

88
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 1: proof of concept that the Lakers defense could be average,

89
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:44,040
Speaker 1: that the Lakers defense could be fine, and that if

90
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 1: the Lakers defense is fine, even given their size limitations,

91
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 1: that this offense with Luca and Lebron was going to

92
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 1: be a top three in the league over the court,

93
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:03,039
Speaker 1: you know, net rating wise or offensive rating wise offense.

94
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 1: And it was nothing close to that. And so that

95
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 1: was with number one whiff. Number one was that the

96
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 1: Lakers offense would be would put the other team under

97
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:19,599
Speaker 1: such pressure to keep scoring and to keep pace that

98
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:24,159
Speaker 1: a younger Timberwolves team, a Timberwolves team that only has

99
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 1: one true superstar, a Timberwolves team that has a few

100
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 1: guys who are max players who there have long playoff histories,

101
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 1: but the playoff histories are you know, checkered in Rudy

102
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 1: Gobert and Julius Randall that the weight of Lebron and

103
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:51,039
Speaker 1: Luca on the offensive side of the ball would be

104
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:55,039
Speaker 1: too much for him. None of that happened. We didn't

105
00:06:55,080 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 1: have a single game this series where where Lebron and

106
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:08,280
Speaker 1: Luca were both outstanding on the offensive end, and we

107
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 1: did have last night. And we'll talk obviously more about

108
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 1: the individual parties involved here shortly, but last night was

109
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 1: the first time in an elimination game that Lebron wasn't

110
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 1: outstanding in a decade. Honest to god, if you go

111
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 1: through it was it was somewhat jarring to see if

112
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 1: you look at what Lebron James, who averages thirty five

113
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 1: points per game in his career in elimination games, what

114
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 1: he did last night in comparison, like if I can

115
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 1: just quickly give you the game logs last year against Denver,

116
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 1: face well, he had two games facing elimination against Denver.

117
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 1: The first game he had third thirty five and four.

118
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 1: The next game and because they won it, he had

119
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 1: thirty nine and eleven. The year before facing elimination against Denver,

120
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 1: he had I think thirty in the first half and

121
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 1: he finished with forty ten and nine. When they lost

122
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 1: to Phoenix in a game they got, they really didn't

123
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 1: have much of a chance. If you remember, that's the

124
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 1: game Anthony Davis started and then played like thirty seconds,

125
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 1: then came out of the game. Lebron twenty nine to

126
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:36,679
Speaker 1: nine and seven facing elimination. They never faced elimination and

127
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 1: route to the bubble in the championship run. And then

128
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 1: if you look at game seven against Boston or game

129
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 1: six and seven against Boston facing eliminations, are down three

130
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 1: to two, forty six, eight and eleven, thirty five, fifteen

131
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:56,199
Speaker 1: and nine, you can go his whole career. It's like, Okay,

132
00:08:56,640 --> 00:09:02,440
Speaker 1: we're facing elimination. I have to ramp it up. Here's

133
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 1: the part that last night informed me on he fired

134
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 1: those bullets over the weekend. He felt correctly, clearly we

135
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 1: were facing elimination in game four and in game three

136
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 1: he had the thirty eight, ten and four and they

137
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:26,319
Speaker 1: blew it at the end. In game four he had

138
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:30,319
Speaker 1: twenty seven, twelve and eight and the defensive stops at

139
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 1: the end, and in game five the forty. It was

140
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 1: a weird Lebron game because he had three of his

141
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 1: most explosive offensive plays of those three dunks that he's

142
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 1: had all postseason. But he just didn't have the juice

143
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:52,239
Speaker 1: last night, So Lebron didn't have the juice. Luca's performance

144
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:59,080
Speaker 1: last night even more shocking because Luca has been a

145
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:04,199
Speaker 1: back against the wall, I'm gonna f you up everybody's

146
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:05,199
Speaker 1: top when they're up.

147
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 2: Lucas seemed pretty messed up, like basically this whole series. Though. Yeah,

148
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:11,840
Speaker 2: whether it was sicknesses or yesterday, I feel like he

149
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 2: came out with like some backspasm type of thing.

150
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, listen, he got hurt, but he didn't.

151
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 1: If it was he had looked awesome and until the

152
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 1: hard fall, that would be one thing, but that's not

153
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:28,720
Speaker 1: what it was. Like. He was relatively passive in the

154
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 1: first quarter, which is when he has crushed. It felt

155
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 1: early on like Lebron and Luca were both like, Okay,

156
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 1: let's conserve energy in the first quarter so we have

157
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 1: more in the fourth quarter. And at first it looked

158
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:51,840
Speaker 1: like a bad strategy because they were down fourteen, but

159
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:56,320
Speaker 1: then once despite all that, they were able to claw

160
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,200
Speaker 1: their way back into the game and actually take a

161
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 1: one point lead, You thought, oh, this could work out,

162
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:07,440
Speaker 1: but Lebron didn't have the extra gear and Luca didn't

163
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:10,439
Speaker 1: have it. The really, I don't want to say the

164
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 1: whole series, but the last three games since he got sick,

165
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:18,439
Speaker 1: Luca didn't have the Luca playoff gear. Twenty eight to

166
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:21,720
Speaker 1: seven and nine on seven of eighteen from the field

167
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 1: for Luca is by his standards, a bad playoff game. Now,

168
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:30,080
Speaker 1: the flip side to that, and where, folks, where credit

169
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:33,840
Speaker 1: must be given is the other guys are paid too.

170
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 1: And the Timberwolves defensive plan against Luca and against Lebron

171
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 1: was outstanding. The Timberwolves trusting you know what, Austin Reeves.

172
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:49,559
Speaker 1: If you beat us, you beat us. We don't think

173
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:53,680
Speaker 1: you're gonna beat us. It was smart, it worked, and

174
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 1: so I'm not gonna kill Austin Reeves. He had a

175
00:11:56,840 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 1: rough series. But also the Lakers shouldn't have needed Austin

176
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:09,080
Speaker 1: Reeves to be great to force a Game six against

177
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 1: the Timberwolves. And I understand that the Timberwolves are now

178
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:16,840
Speaker 1: twenty one to five in their last twenty six and

179
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 1: I think they have ten or it's either ten or fifteen.

180
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 1: I don't remember double digit wins in that stretch I

181
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 1: get that that maybe I was I am still even

182
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 1: to a degree underrating or disrespecting the Timberwolves. But this

183
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 1: Lakers team it was not. And this is what's so

184
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 1: frustrating about the way the season ended. It was not

185
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 1: some hope in a prayer media creation. They had almost

186
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 1: the exact same record against the Western Conference as Oklahoma

187
00:12:55,640 --> 00:13:00,959
Speaker 1: City did. They were a dominant team home where they

188
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 1: lost two of these games. They had I think the

189
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 1: third best record in the fourth best record in the

190
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 1: league against the best teams in the league. We saw

191
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:15,319
Speaker 1: them at the end of the year against a full

192
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:20,200
Speaker 1: strength Oklahoma City team, blow them out, and then go

193
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:23,320
Speaker 1: toe to toe with them a week before the playoffs.

194
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:30,199
Speaker 1: They were rested. All of those things happened, and while

195
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 1: Lebron did not have a great Game five, you did

196
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:40,320
Speaker 1: get great Lebron performances in Games two, three, and four.

197
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:44,720
Speaker 1: So it wasn't that oh the you know, the old

198
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 1: man slowed down at the end. He did at the

199
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 1: very end, and they still just got annihilated in this series.

200
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 1: The thing about last night that made last usually demons.

201
00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:03,720
Speaker 1: If if a team loses a close out game that

202
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 1: you know, is a one possession game with a few

203
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:12,720
Speaker 1: minutes left. It's heart wrenching. I gotta tell you, it's

204
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:17,200
Speaker 1: not how I felt watching the Lakers squander that game

205
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 1: at the very end, because they were incredibly lucky last

206
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:28,440
Speaker 1: night that they weren't blown out minutes. I mean, Anthony

207
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 1: Edwards was zero for eleven from three. The Timberwlves as

208
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 1: a whole shot forty seven threes and made seven of them.

209
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 1: Think about that, they were fifteen percent from three. So

210
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 1: Ant was five of nineteen from the field. And that's

211
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 1: another weird thing for Ant because he's going to get

212
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 1: his flowers today, as he should. But it reminded me,

213
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 1: actually a lot of game Game seven against Denver, the

214
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 1: biggest win of Anthony Edwards career. He was six of

215
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 1: twenty four from the field, two of ten from three,

216
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 1: had sixteen points. It was his worst game of the series,

217
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 1: and they came back and beat Denver. Anyway, last night,

218
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 1: he's five of nineteen from the field, oho of eleven

219
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 1: from three, has fifteen points. And it's the game that

220
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 1: he knocks off Luca and Lebron that which is a

221
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 1: testament to the Timberwolves and a testament to Julius Randall

222
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 1: was excellent. This entire series. Julius Randall was reliable, and

223
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 1: obviously Rudy Gobert's nine offensive rebounds twenty four total rebounds,

224
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 1: him scoring twenty seven points in a playoff game was unfathomable.

225
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:02,480
Speaker 1: And you can say, oh, listen, this is the Lakers

226
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 1: don't play a center. The Lakers haven't played a center

227
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 1: all series. Rudy Gobert's stat lines prior to last night

228
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 1: two and six, six and six, one and three, five

229
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 1: and ten, and then twenty seven and twenty four. Prior

230
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 1: to last night, in the series, Rudy Gobert had fourteen

231
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 1: points twenty five rebounds in the four games. Last night,

232
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 1: he had twenty seven points, twenty four rebounds.

233
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 2: Not having a big guy in there is gonna come

234
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 2: back to bite you eventually, right.

235
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:47,280
Speaker 1: Well, clearly, I mean so clearly it did. But the

236
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 1: point that I'm making is, and you guys know from

237
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 1: what I was saying earlier in the series that I

238
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 1: thought and even though the Lakers were in a tough spot,

239
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 1: but one of the things that had worked out for

240
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:09,399
Speaker 1: them was that the Timberwolves, and we talked about this

241
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:13,359
Speaker 1: that even though the Lakers were everyone, the Lakers were

242
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 1: playing with six' eight and. Below rudy wasn't killing them

243
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:21,920
Speaker 1: that they were getting away with playing that small because

244
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 1: The timberwolves didn't want to Give Rudy gobert the. Ball

245
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,679
Speaker 1: And i'll be honest last, night they didn't give him

246
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 1: the ball that. Much it was all on like of

247
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 1: but it was, yeah it was on offensive, rebounds it

248
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:39,040
Speaker 1: was on. Putbacks it wasn't a lot of like they

249
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:43,640
Speaker 1: passed it To Rudy. Gobert and so a guy who

250
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:48,440
Speaker 1: has in his seventy how how many games is his playoff,

251
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 1: career seventy four game playoff, career who went into last

252
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:57,280
Speaker 1: night with five career twenty point playoff games and zero

253
00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:01,919
Speaker 1: career twenty five point playoff, game puts twenty seven on your.

254
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:06,400
Speaker 1: HEAD a guy who in his seventy four career playoff

255
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:11,160
Speaker 1: games once going into last, night had more than eighteen

256
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:14,960
Speaker 1: rebounds in a game in the, playoffs puts twenty four

257
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:19,639
Speaker 1: rebounds on your. Head it Was it was a dominant

258
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:23,440
Speaker 1: performance by. Him it was a great performance By jalen

259
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 1: By Julius. Randall they and that's the other. Piece jade

260
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:35,040
Speaker 1: McDaniel's in foul trouble immediately and it didn't. Matter so

261
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 1: this was A it felt to me like and this

262
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:43,480
Speaker 1: is is not an excuse and it might even be an.

263
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:48,680
Speaker 1: Indictment it felt to me like The lakers felt they

264
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:54,080
Speaker 1: lost the series On, sunday and that is and that

265
00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:58,119
Speaker 1: they came out because there was no energy in the first.

266
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:01,080
Speaker 1: Quarter it was something of a.

267
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:04,960
Speaker 2: Miracle minnesota was leaving it up there for. Grabs, yes

268
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:08,679
Speaker 2: they were playing pretty complacent with the, lead taking a

269
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:11,440
Speaker 2: lot of beef shots instead of. Driving it was a.

270
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:16,720
Speaker 1: Miracle it's exactly right demonse that this game was closely

271
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:23,200
Speaker 1: If minnesota just has A c minus shooting night instead

272
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:25,720
Speaker 1: of the worst shooting night any team will have in

273
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:29,160
Speaker 1: the playoffs over the next three, years which is really

274
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 1: what they. Did The lakers are down twenty, five, right

275
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 1: and so the credit to The. Timberwolves, Man and.

276
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:43,199
Speaker 2: What about The Mark williams? Trade, Man, like what is?

277
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:45,800
Speaker 2: Well would that have changed?

278
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:52,399
Speaker 1: This here's the thing it what they gave up in

279
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 1: The Mark williams trade Was Dalton connect a first round,

280
00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:03,080
Speaker 1: pick AND i think a. Swap so there is no

281
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 1: arguments that you made like well for this series in

282
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:10,879
Speaker 1: this postseason that would have hurt you Because Dalton connect

283
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:14,720
Speaker 1: got zero. Minutes you know WHAT i. Mean so since

284
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 1: the guy you traded you never played in the short,

285
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:23,479
Speaker 1: term And Mark williams took a bit of a victory.

286
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:27,960
Speaker 1: LAP i understand On, TWITTER i get that it certainly

287
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:31,160
Speaker 1: felt like and they when they didn't Get Mark, williams

288
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:35,399
Speaker 1: they Signed Alex, lynn who played zero. Minutes Now Maxi

289
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:39,400
Speaker 1: kleiba comes off the bench after not playing in months

290
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 1: because of his, INJURY jj gives him five minutes and

291
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 1: more ON jj shortly there is. There it sure feels

292
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 1: like they would have had a better chance now in

293
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:57,400
Speaker 1: retrospect in this series they Had Mark. Williams we never

294
00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 1: saw him play with him and they now that powder

295
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:04,359
Speaker 1: is dry for you, know a move this coming summer.

296
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 1: Potentially BUT i. CAN'T i can't pick a team to

297
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:12,800
Speaker 1: win the championship and then when they get popped in

298
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:15,919
Speaker 1: round one and five be, like, well here's all the

299
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:20,240
Speaker 1: obvious flaws with the, Roster like that's. BULLSHIT i Knew

300
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:23,200
Speaker 1: Mark williams wasn't on the. TEAM i knew how big

301
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:27,640
Speaker 1: The timberwolves were WHEN i said After day eighty, Two

302
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 1: game eighty two of the season THAT i thought the

303
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:36,360
Speaker 1: bracket fell perfectly for The, lakers and now you look

304
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 1: at it and you, say, well that was wrong, obviously so,

305
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 1: no it's A i but at its, core people are,

306
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:50,720
Speaker 1: GONNA i, think focus on the wrong. THINGS i think

307
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:56,080
Speaker 1: this what happened to The, lakers in my, opinion is

308
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 1: three games of this series and they scored less than

309
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:08,840
Speaker 1: one hundred. Points four games of the series they scored

310
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 1: less than one oh. Five the one game they won

311
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 1: they only scored ninety. Four and you can so folks

312
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 1: are gonna say the issue was they were never gonna

313
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 1: be good enough, defensively, maybe but the issue in this

314
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:35,120
Speaker 1: series was an offense that the only way to look

315
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:39,040
Speaker 1: at This lakers team as a legitimate contender was going

316
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 1: to be they have an elite. Offense that offense was never.

317
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:48,879
Speaker 1: Elite it was never even very. Good and it's just

318
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 1: remarkable to me that it's the same. OFFENSE i saw

319
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:57,679
Speaker 1: a few weeks ago drop one twenty six IN okc

320
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 1: in a GAME okc one and then have like one

321
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 1: ten with six minutes left N okc against that. Defense

322
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:15,320
Speaker 1: in the, Game luca got ejected IN i the The

323
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 1: lakers role players all had some. Struggles luca obviously wasn't

324
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 1: Himself lebron ran out of gas in every every one

325
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 1: of these fourth, quarters and that's how you lose in.

326
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:33,920
Speaker 2: Five given, It, Austin, YEAH i feel like you Were

327
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:36,360
Speaker 2: you did really go easy On Austin. Reeves if those

328
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:38,800
Speaker 2: guys aren't gonna show, up that who has to show?

329
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 2: UP i think it has to Be.

330
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:44,080
Speaker 1: Austin, well, no, LISTEN i So Austin reeves for the

331
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 1: series was sixteen to five and three on forty one

332
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:55,879
Speaker 1: thirty two. Splits it's a bad. Series the Reason i'm

333
00:23:55,920 --> 00:24:00,240
Speaker 1: not focusing on that is BECAUSE i JUST i think

334
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:06,840
Speaker 1: that would be kind of bullshit in THAT i didn't

335
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:10,640
Speaker 1: pick The. Lakers people ARE i think MAYBE i think

336
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:13,720
Speaker 1: people that are discerning listeners to HOW i do this

337
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:18,679
Speaker 1: stuff are maybe at times surprised at how FAIR i

338
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:23,480
Speaker 1: try to be to what is honest. COMMENTARY i didn't

339
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:26,359
Speaker 1: pick The lakers BECAUSE i Thought Austin reeves was gonna

340
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:31,280
Speaker 1: cook so like and so this was the first playoff

341
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:35,720
Speaker 1: run of his career where a lot was expected of.

342
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 1: Him that's where and and he didn't. Listen he wasn't,

343
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:45,439
Speaker 1: great but he's a young player who doesn't make a

344
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 1: ton of. Money who you just? EAT I i don't

345
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:57,680
Speaker 1: like when stars are, awesome their team, loses and people

346
00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:01,360
Speaker 1: then blame the. Star the exam of that would would

347
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 1: have been if after The pacers beat The, bucks if

348
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:09,920
Speaker 1: people were Like jannis needed to do, More yiannis did

349
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 1: fucking everything he could have, done and they got. Beat,

350
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:16,679
Speaker 1: so Like Bill james used to, say bad teams have

351
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:20,920
Speaker 1: an amazing ability to blame their best players for their biggest,

352
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:24,159
Speaker 1: problems and SO i try not to do. That but

353
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:29,359
Speaker 1: WHAT i also try not to do is when a

354
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:33,399
Speaker 1: team THAT i thought was going to win because of

355
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:39,640
Speaker 1: the overwhelming star power at the very top doesn't, win

356
00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 1: and those two stars are good but not WHAT i

357
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:49,639
Speaker 1: thought they would, be then be, like man needed more

358
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 1: from your third, option LIKE i JUST. I and so

359
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:56,240
Speaker 1: it's not like That i'm trying to Protect. Austin it's

360
00:25:56,280 --> 00:26:00,560
Speaker 1: nothing like. That it's THAT i he wasn't very, good

361
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:07,640
Speaker 1: But austin reeves playing at A c minus level again

362
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:10,680
Speaker 1: should not be the reason you're going home in. Five

363
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:20,520
Speaker 1: and that's where that's where we end. Up SO i

364
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:23,160
Speaker 1: H i'm gonna get to a bunch of the other,

Speaker 1: just being, honest no matter uh how it looks or

423
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:01,400
Speaker 1: if people think there's an agenda there or. Whatever it.

424
00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:05,720
Speaker 1: Is so over the last couple of, years WHEN i

425
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:11,240
Speaker 1: have criticized The lakers, coaching it hasn't been to Protect.

426
00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:15,680
Speaker 1: Lebron it hasn't been BECAUSE i was looking for a fall.

427
00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:20,560
Speaker 1: Guy it was BECAUSE i Thought darvinham was objectively, speaking

428
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:24,400
Speaker 1: a bad, coach AND i thought he put them in

429
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:32,040
Speaker 1: bad strategic and tactical and line up situations and it

430
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:38,000
Speaker 1: hurt their chances of. Succeeding that's WHY i. CRITICIZED i

431
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:41,280
Speaker 1: am not going to all of a sudden because they

432
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:45,040
Speaker 1: lost a series THAT i thought they should. Win act,

433
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:48,800
Speaker 1: LIKE i don't THINK Jj reddick over the course of

434
00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:52,120
Speaker 1: the year did an excellent. JOB i think he. DID

435
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:56,000
Speaker 1: i THINK Jj reddick is a really sharp. COACH i

436
00:30:56,040 --> 00:31:01,479
Speaker 1: think there are a lot of major positives FOR Jj

437
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:07,920
Speaker 1: reddick from a work, ethic from attention to, detail from,

438
00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:13,800
Speaker 1: tactics from understanding the kind of newer elements of what

439
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:16,320
Speaker 1: you would call, analytics but it's really just kind of

440
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:19,480
Speaker 1: smart math on. Things all of those THINGS i give

441
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:28,240
Speaker 1: him high marks. For with that, said my concern ABOUT

442
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:32,239
Speaker 1: jj coming in and you guys can remember, this you

443
00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:39,400
Speaker 1: can check the, tape was actually a personality, concern which

444
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:46,400
Speaker 1: WAS i saw HOW jj dealt with criticism when he

445
00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:53,800
Speaker 1: was in the. MEDIA i saw HOW jj how online

446
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:58,200
Speaker 1: he was and reading mentioned and reading what was being,

447
00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:06,600
Speaker 1: written AND i was worried that when times got, tough

448
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:14,280
Speaker 1: THAT Jj reddick wouldn't react well to. That the first

449
00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:20,760
Speaker 1: tough times he really. Had the first real criticism he

450
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:26,760
Speaker 1: got his entire tenure was after he did something literally

451
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:31,240
Speaker 1: no coach has ever done in basketball, history play all five,

452
00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:35,200
Speaker 1: starters to play the same five guys all twenty four

453
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:39,320
Speaker 1: minutes in a playoff game for the second. Half he

454
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:44,840
Speaker 1: got some criticism for, it and then also was asked

455
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:50,000
Speaker 1: about it pregame and immediately became a bit of a petulant.

456
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:55,800
Speaker 1: Child and that was the. Concern here is the other,

457
00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:59,800
Speaker 1: concern and this is ONE jj is not going to

458
00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:08,360
Speaker 1: like to. Hear but the record speaks for. ITSELF Jj,

459
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:16,760
Speaker 1: reddick his entire basketball life gets tight in big. Spots

460
00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:22,640
Speaker 1: at the peak of his basketball career when he was

461
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:28,120
Speaker 1: the best player in college basketball At. Duke go look

462
00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:32,800
Speaker 1: at those tournament stat lines and you might, say this is.

463
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:36,800
Speaker 1: Ridiculous why are you bringing UP Jj, reddicks you, know

464
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:42,920
Speaker 1: three or six In cuba tournament in talking about The.

465
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:48,600
Speaker 1: Lakers i'll. Explain BUT Jj reddick as. Great he was

466
00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:52,680
Speaker 1: an unbelievable college basketball player who is not a very

467
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:57,400
Speaker 1: good In cuba tournament, player was on Four duke, teams

468
00:33:57,440 --> 00:34:00,680
Speaker 1: any of which could have won the national, championship got

469
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:03,680
Speaker 1: popped in the sweet. Sixteen almost every year made it

470
00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:07,480
Speaker 1: to one final, four and it wasn't, like, OH jj was. Great,

471
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:09,879
Speaker 1: no that's not how it. Went go back and look

472
00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:15,239
Speaker 1: if you don't, remember, then As Jerry west reminded, him

473
00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:20,880
Speaker 1: WHEN jj did The plumbers And fireman BIT jj and the,

474
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:25,080
Speaker 1: pros as really good as he was later in his,

475
00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:31,719
Speaker 1: career was not a good playoff. Performer so why AM

476
00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:36,319
Speaker 1: i bringing that up? Now he strikes me as a

477
00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:39,600
Speaker 1: guy who gets a little, tight who's wound a little.

478
00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:45,239
Speaker 1: Tight and when you have on THE tnt broadcast the

479
00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:50,759
Speaker 1: sideline reporter who never that's like the opposite of the

480
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:55,239
Speaker 1: take industry is the sideline. Reporter when you have the

481
00:34:55,760 --> 00:35:01,200
Speaker 1: sideline reporter telling, us, OOH jj was wound up when

482
00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:03,880
Speaker 1: we met with him before the, game he was on.

483
00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:07,600
Speaker 1: Edge He and then when you HAVE jj storming out

484
00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:10,680
Speaker 1: of a press conference when you have in the, game

485
00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:14,960
Speaker 1: he has committed before the, Game i'm not gonna Play Jackson.

486
00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:17,400
Speaker 1: Hayes but then all of a sudden you are just

487
00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:20,960
Speaker 1: getting your teeth kicked in on the offensive glass and you're, like,

488
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:23,239
Speaker 1: Well i've already Said i'm not Playing Jackson. Hayes SO

489
00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:27,680
Speaker 1: i Guess Maxi, kleiba who AGAIN i think could have

490
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:31,919
Speaker 1: been useful for The lakers cuz he's a big guy

491
00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:34,560
Speaker 1: who can, shoot and as a relationship With, luca the

492
00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:37,560
Speaker 1: problem is he hadn't practiced or played with him. Once.

493
00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:41,359
Speaker 1: Ever you put him in like it's a coach who

494
00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:44,799
Speaker 1: got a little. Tight oh my, goodness, SORRY i don't

495
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:46,839
Speaker 1: know if you guys heard my dog freaking. Out it's

496
00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:52,319
Speaker 1: a coach that gets he got a little. Tight and

497
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:57,480
Speaker 1: SO i think that IF i am, IF i am

498
00:35:57,560 --> 00:36:03,400
Speaker 1: GIVING Jj reddick a vice for next year and for

499
00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:06,000
Speaker 1: the rest of his coaching, career BECAUSE i do think

500
00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:11,200
Speaker 1: he has a lot of the talent to be a

501
00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:14,960
Speaker 1: really good head, coach And lucas said great things about him.

502
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:17,239
Speaker 1: Afterwards he said it reminded him of being back In

503
00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:20,040
Speaker 1: europe with the style of coaching and the attention detail all.

504
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:26,520
Speaker 1: That it honestly is as still as it, sounds just

505
00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:30,399
Speaker 1: chill a little, Man just breathe and.

506
00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:34,560
Speaker 2: Chill AND i think he was also in his head

507
00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:38,200
Speaker 2: about making that decision and like he's, LIKE i don't

508
00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:40,200
Speaker 2: want to call it, embarrassed but like the fact that

509
00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:42,600
Speaker 2: he's being questioned on, it he just can't can't stand.

510
00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:43,200
Speaker 2: It he walked.

511
00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:46,960
Speaker 1: AWAY i also think sorry for the.

512
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:49,240
Speaker 2: Birds by the, way, Guys OH i loved.

513
00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:52,399
Speaker 1: IT i. WAS i want to ask him about. THAT

514
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:56,200
Speaker 1: i think it sounds DELIGHT i was, like oh, man

515
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:59,440
Speaker 1: this is a nice little background to the. Pod just

516
00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:10,320
Speaker 1: Chuir Southern california. Birds BUT i so here's the, thing almost,

517
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:14,279
Speaker 1: ASSUREDLY i can. BET i can't bet, this BUT i

518
00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:24,920
Speaker 1: would bet almost anything That reddick had no idea that

519
00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:28,800
Speaker 1: no coach ever had played all five guys for the

520
00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:32,279
Speaker 1: second half of a playoff, game like when he was doing, It,

521
00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:34,360
Speaker 1: like why would? HE i didn't know, it you know

522
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:40,560
Speaker 1: WHAT i? MEAN i may right. Correct i'm sure he

523
00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:43,440
Speaker 1: knew it was, rare you know WHAT i, mean unworthaned

524
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:50,560
Speaker 1: no team ever in basketball. History and so then when

525
00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:55,080
Speaker 1: they fall apart at the, end and then he finds

526
00:37:55,120 --> 00:37:59,360
Speaker 1: Out i'm the first guy to ever do, THIS i

527
00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:02,040
Speaker 1: bet he felt a little boxed in and maybe even

528
00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:06,399
Speaker 1: a little. Embarrassed and SO i just DON'T i think

529
00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:10,200
Speaker 1: he has wound a little. Tight AND i think that

530
00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:16,360
Speaker 1: that unfortunately manifested itself in big spots in his playing

531
00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:23,680
Speaker 1: career and now first running the, playoffs manifested itself a

532
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:30,000
Speaker 1: bit in the first really big spot of his coaching.

533
00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:34,759
Speaker 1: Career that's. All it's not a lifelong. Indictment it just

534
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:38,080
Speaker 1: is what it, is all, right demon S let's get To.

535
00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:43,480
Speaker 2: Luca go, Ahead, Yeah, SO i, mean obviously they made

536
00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:46,759
Speaker 2: the big trade For luca Sent Anthony davis At. Dallas

537
00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:49,080
Speaker 2: what do you, like what does this situation look like

538
00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:52,160
Speaker 2: if they never Traded Anthony davis over?

539
00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:55,359
Speaker 1: There, WELL i don't think they would have gotten into

540
00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:59,279
Speaker 1: the three line had they Kept Anthony. DAVIS i, don't

541
00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:03,319
Speaker 1: especially given the fact that his injury clearly was more

542
00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:06,680
Speaker 1: substantial Than. Luca's SO i think there we do have

543
00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:10,080
Speaker 1: to consider that piece of. It DO i think given

544
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:15,120
Speaker 1: How luca played in this series That lebron showed you

545
00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:19,919
Speaker 1: he can still get to a high volume scoring level

546
00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:24,720
Speaker 1: in the, playoffs if need be that all, that would

547
00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:28,200
Speaker 1: they maybe have had a better chance in this specific

548
00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:33,040
Speaker 1: series given How luca played all of it against this specific,

549
00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:37,200
Speaker 1: opponent if they Had Anthony, davis maybe DO i think that's?

550
00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:41,600
Speaker 1: Relevant not even a tiny, Bit because if they Had Anthony,

551
00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:48,560
Speaker 1: davis we know that that team was not could not

552
00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:53,000
Speaker 1: generate enough offense to compete for a. Championship we had

553
00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:56,359
Speaker 1: seen it over the last few. Years now you can, say,

554
00:39:56,360 --> 00:40:00,439
Speaker 1: well this team couldn't, either and they. Didn't but there

555
00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:06,600
Speaker 1: is going to be an, immense immense amount Of Luka

556
00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:12,560
Speaker 1: doncic's criticism today and this, offseason and even some folks

557
00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:17,520
Speaker 1: who not naming names BECAUSE i wouldn't want to call

558
00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:23,600
Speaker 1: them Shameless charlatans by naming their. Names Kevin, wilds who

559
00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:28,680
Speaker 1: just a few weeks ago we're going viral for explaining

560
00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:36,120
Speaker 1: How Nico harrison is at the forefront of the modern

561
00:40:36,239 --> 00:40:41,920
Speaker 1: Day Babe ruth, trade which means a few weeks ago these,

562
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:46,840
Speaker 1: people again not naming, Names Kevin, wilds were Comparing lukadancic

563
00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:50,480
Speaker 1: To Babe. Ruth are now going to be, like, well

564
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:56,359
Speaker 1: how good is he? Really, LIKE i think that's. RIDICULOUS

565
00:40:57,000 --> 00:41:00,640
Speaker 1: i DO i Think luca had a good? Series? No

566
00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:06,160
Speaker 1: DO i think this is the? Not DO i? Think

567
00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:10,640
Speaker 1: DO i know this is the first time In luca's

568
00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:18,960
Speaker 1: playoff career demanse where you can fairly and honestly, say, man.

569
00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:21,479
Speaker 3: It was.

570
00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:28,360
Speaker 1: One of the big reasons your team lost was because

571
00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:33,839
Speaker 1: you didn't play as well as they. Needed, yes that is.

572
00:41:33,920 --> 00:41:38,640
Speaker 1: Fair every other series he's, lost he has been either

573
00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:44,880
Speaker 1: a triple plus or his team's just been out. Gunned

574
00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:48,480
Speaker 1: so the first series he ever played against The, clippers

575
00:41:48,719 --> 00:41:51,520
Speaker 1: he was thirty, one ten and nine and hit a

576
00:41:51,560 --> 00:41:55,400
Speaker 1: buzzer beater to win a. Game the second series they

577
00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:58,640
Speaker 1: ever lost was games seven games against The, clippers he

578
00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:02,360
Speaker 1: was thirty six eight. Ten the third series they lost

579
00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:05,640
Speaker 1: was against the team that won the, Championship Golden, state

580
00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:08,880
Speaker 1: in the conference, finals and he was thirty, two nine and.

581
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:12,680
Speaker 1: Six and the fourth series he lost was Against dallas

582
00:42:12,719 --> 00:42:15,840
Speaker 1: in the finals when he was twenty, nine nine and.

583
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:18,319
Speaker 1: Six and WHILE I i'm sorry Against boston in the,

584
00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:22,040
Speaker 1: finals WHILE i Underrated boston in that, Series boston has

585
00:42:22,040 --> 00:42:27,000
Speaker 1: proven itself to be a great. Team this, series they

586
00:42:27,040 --> 00:42:29,319
Speaker 1: needed more From luca on both ends and he wasn't

587
00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:33,600
Speaker 1: able to provide. It that's fair to criticize this. Series

588
00:42:34,200 --> 00:42:39,120
Speaker 1: and this is here is the part demands Of luca

589
00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:45,840
Speaker 1: is out of. Shape luca's endurance is not up to

590
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:51,040
Speaker 1: par THAT i struggle. With, okay all, right let me

591
00:42:51,120 --> 00:42:56,000
Speaker 1: tell you how many players these playoffs have played more

592
00:42:56,040 --> 00:43:00,440
Speaker 1: minutes than Luka, Ancic do you have a? Guess not?

593
00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:00,799
Speaker 2: One?

594
00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:05,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, zero, Yeah he And Jamal murray are tied for the.

595
00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:10,840
Speaker 1: Most so the players who have played two hundred plus

596
00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:20,280
Speaker 1: minutes these Playoffs Lebron, Caid Anthony, Edwards Joker, Og, Luca Jamal. Murray,

597
00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:22,719
Speaker 1: okay now you might be, like, well some of those

598
00:43:22,760 --> 00:43:27,279
Speaker 1: series went four games minutes per game these. Playoffs the

599
00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:30,439
Speaker 1: guys who are playing forty, plus it's the exact same

600
00:43:30,480 --> 00:43:33,640
Speaker 1: list right outside. It right on the outside looking at

601
00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:38,040
Speaker 1: Is Jalen, Brunson Palo, Bancro christian braun And Austin brown

602
00:43:38,080 --> 00:43:43,080
Speaker 1: And Austin. Roots so here is SOMETHING i really struggle

603
00:43:43,120 --> 00:43:48,560
Speaker 1: with when it comes to the criticism Of luca's. Condition

604
00:43:50,239 --> 00:43:55,840
Speaker 1: criticizing his defense to me is obviously totally inbounds and.

605
00:43:55,920 --> 00:44:02,480
Speaker 1: Fair when it comes to criticizing his can, auditioning my problem,

606
00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:10,799
Speaker 1: is would he look less winded and more rested like

607
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:17,760
Speaker 1: other starters do, if like other, starters he wasn't playing

608
00:44:18,200 --> 00:44:22,359
Speaker 1: more minutes than everyone else in the, playoffs so like.

609
00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:25,319
Speaker 2: The also on the other, end if he's if he's

610
00:44:25,360 --> 00:44:28,879
Speaker 2: not giving you exactly what he needs we need from

611
00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:31,200
Speaker 2: him in order to, win in order to win the,

612
00:44:31,239 --> 00:44:33,759
Speaker 2: series then maybe take him off the court for a

613
00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:36,120
Speaker 2: little bit so he can come back in later and

614
00:44:36,239 --> 00:44:39,640
Speaker 2: have more energy and put out a better offensive output or. Something.

615
00:44:40,440 --> 00:44:45,680
Speaker 1: Right so that so there's just there's what is frustrating

616
00:44:45,719 --> 00:44:51,000
Speaker 1: to me IS i if he was, playing you, know

617
00:44:51,760 --> 00:44:56,320
Speaker 1: average minutes for a superstar and just looked more winded

618
00:44:56,360 --> 00:44:59,560
Speaker 1: than all the other, superstars THEN i would say it's

619
00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:04,560
Speaker 1: more of a. Criticism but when he is in now

620
00:45:04,719 --> 00:45:07,160
Speaker 1: so this, year up to this point in the, postseason

621
00:45:07,440 --> 00:45:12,040
Speaker 1: he's played more minutes than. Everybody last year when everyone

622
00:45:12,239 --> 00:45:15,440
Speaker 1: just killed him for how tired he looked at the,

623
00:45:15,600 --> 00:45:21,759
Speaker 1: end he played nine hundred minutes that. Postseason right Man

624
00:45:21,840 --> 00:45:25,960
Speaker 1: Jason tatum sure looked fresher in those. Finals tatum played

625
00:45:26,160 --> 00:45:31,360
Speaker 1: seven hundred and sixty eight minutes on a per per game.

626
00:45:31,400 --> 00:45:36,120
Speaker 1: Basis last year in the, Playoffs luca was it forty

627
00:45:36,160 --> 00:45:40,719
Speaker 1: one minutes per. Game the only guys to play multiple

628
00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:45,879
Speaker 1: series and be at forty. Plus Where Kyrie, Joker, Tatum,

629
00:45:46,080 --> 00:45:49,960
Speaker 1: Aunt luca And Josh Hart and if you, remember at

630
00:45:49,960 --> 00:45:54,239
Speaker 1: the end of last, Postseason aunt, said MAN i fell

631
00:45:54,280 --> 00:45:57,960
Speaker 1: off BECAUSE i was. Exhausted to what he, said he was,

632
00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:02,000
Speaker 1: LIKE i was. Exhausted and this is year after year

633
00:46:02,440 --> 00:46:06,880
Speaker 1: that this is the case as far As luca's postseason,

634
00:46:07,040 --> 00:46:10,680
Speaker 1: usage and then people, like, Man dude's out of, shape

635
00:46:11,120 --> 00:46:16,080
Speaker 1: WHEN i JUST i, AGAIN i. Don't he obviously is

636
00:46:16,120 --> 00:46:19,320
Speaker 1: not in in tip top physical. Shape i'm not arguing,

637
00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:19,560
Speaker 1: that but.

638
00:46:19,840 --> 00:46:23,000
Speaker 2: Say he also doesn't play like everybody else like you're

639
00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:25,279
Speaker 2: saying he's out there for allows when Its luca isn't

640
00:46:25,480 --> 00:46:28,279
Speaker 2: freaking busting his ass up and down the court like

641
00:46:28,360 --> 00:46:30,480
Speaker 2: he's kind of like moving. Around and then when he

642
00:46:30,520 --> 00:46:32,640
Speaker 2: does have the, ball he plays at his own. Pace

643
00:46:33,040 --> 00:46:34,920
Speaker 2: it's like he makes you play this pace that is

644
00:46:34,960 --> 00:46:37,239
Speaker 2: not a fast. Pace so it's, like, hey, dude.

645
00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:40,839
Speaker 1: No, listen that's all. FAIR i just think it is

646
00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:49,440
Speaker 1: a little It it is a LITTLE i think overstated

647
00:46:50,600 --> 00:46:55,200
Speaker 1: the amount of Man luca's out of. Shape and that's

648
00:46:55,280 --> 00:46:59,959
Speaker 1: the problem when each of the last two postseasons he's

649
00:47:00,200 --> 00:47:03,759
Speaker 1: led THE nba in minutes per, game and when you

650
00:47:03,960 --> 00:47:07,600
Speaker 1: also add to it that the guy who just beat

651
00:47:07,640 --> 00:47:11,400
Speaker 1: him in this series aunt last year said he was

652
00:47:11,440 --> 00:47:14,239
Speaker 1: out of gas And luca was moving on to the. Finals,

653
00:47:14,560 --> 00:47:19,120
Speaker 1: now with that, Said lucas should look at this year

654
00:47:20,120 --> 00:47:26,399
Speaker 1: as a true. Failure the team he wanted to stick

655
00:47:26,440 --> 00:47:29,560
Speaker 1: with gave up on, him and then he got to

656
00:47:29,640 --> 00:47:34,920
Speaker 1: The lakers and they lost as a three seed and

657
00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:37,960
Speaker 1: he wasn't. Great so he does need to be. Better

658
00:47:38,360 --> 00:47:41,000
Speaker 1: he does need to get in better. Shape but there

659
00:47:41,080 --> 00:47:45,400
Speaker 1: is going to, be in my, opinion there is going

660
00:47:45,480 --> 00:47:55,160
Speaker 1: to be a massive overreaction to this. Series and there

661
00:47:55,239 --> 00:47:57,800
Speaker 1: is if you want to, say let's see How ant

662
00:47:57,880 --> 00:48:01,440
Speaker 1: does the rest of the. Postseason is it possible that

663
00:48:01,600 --> 00:48:05,320
Speaker 1: the question you asked the other Day demons could answer

664
00:48:05,360 --> 00:48:10,560
Speaker 1: a Plant luca on THE nba? Hierarchy? Sure DO i

665
00:48:10,719 --> 00:48:14,239
Speaker 1: think he has done it? ALREADY i do. NOT i

666
00:48:14,320 --> 00:48:14,960
Speaker 1: don't think.

667
00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:18,520
Speaker 2: THAT i think especially that he was barely at the

668
00:48:18,560 --> 00:48:21,520
Speaker 2: hands of the win last. Night SO i get that's.

669
00:48:21,320 --> 00:48:24,239
Speaker 1: Fair AND i think that. Right and that's Another so

670
00:48:24,280 --> 00:48:27,759
Speaker 1: that's another piece of it THAT i think has to

671
00:48:27,800 --> 00:48:31,239
Speaker 1: be factored into when we're talking about you, know The

672
00:48:32,440 --> 00:48:38,319
Speaker 1: luca is one of to, me just two guys in

673
00:48:38,360 --> 00:48:44,239
Speaker 1: the league, Him joker And jannis that a game that

674
00:48:44,640 --> 00:48:48,520
Speaker 1: like the One Anthony edwards had last night feels impossible

675
00:48:49,719 --> 00:48:52,239
Speaker 1: where it's just you, know there's only three guys in

676
00:48:52,280 --> 00:48:55,480
Speaker 1: the league where even they're bad, games it's like what

677
00:48:55,560 --> 00:48:58,400
Speaker 1: did he finish With it's like twenty, five nine and,

678
00:48:58,520 --> 00:49:03,480
Speaker 1: seven like the and the fly in that ointment Is friday,

679
00:49:03,560 --> 00:49:06,520
Speaker 1: Night luke at a game WHERE i think it was

680
00:49:06,600 --> 00:49:08,880
Speaker 1: seventeen seven and. Eight but if we take him at

681
00:49:08,920 --> 00:49:11,359
Speaker 1: his word that he was dog, sick then you can

682
00:49:11,400 --> 00:49:15,120
Speaker 1: attribute it more to. That and So i'm not making.

683
00:49:15,200 --> 00:49:20,279
Speaker 1: EXCUSES i am, though explaining WHAT i, think HOW i

684
00:49:20,360 --> 00:49:22,919
Speaker 1: think this went, down and what it means for him moving.

685
00:49:22,960 --> 00:49:26,839
Speaker 1: Forward he does need to be. Better but also this

686
00:49:28,719 --> 00:49:30,600
Speaker 1: one last thing On luke before we get To. Lebron

687
00:49:31,840 --> 00:49:35,560
Speaker 1: i'm amazed at the number of people that will just, say,

688
00:49:36,239 --> 00:49:38,359
Speaker 1: well If luca's on your, team you can't you know

689
00:49:38,520 --> 00:49:41,960
Speaker 1: your defense has a, ceiling as if we didn't see

690
00:49:43,160 --> 00:49:47,080
Speaker 1: a team again last year With luca not only make the,

691
00:49:47,080 --> 00:49:50,320
Speaker 1: finals but from The All star breakthrough or a little

692
00:49:50,320 --> 00:49:53,000
Speaker 1: after The All star break through the finals have the

693
00:49:53,120 --> 00:49:58,400
Speaker 1: number two defense in basketball and in those finals Hold

694
00:49:58,480 --> 00:50:04,400
Speaker 1: boston way below its season averages offensively and and. Play,

695
00:50:04,440 --> 00:50:08,200
Speaker 1: Actually dallas's defense was good in the. Finals its offense

696
00:50:08,280 --> 00:50:11,239
Speaker 1: is why they. Lost like the fact that it's not a,

697
00:50:11,320 --> 00:50:14,320
Speaker 1: night it's not a. Hypothetical can you have an elite

698
00:50:14,400 --> 00:50:17,319
Speaker 1: defense With Luca ancic on. It if you have the right,

699
00:50:17,440 --> 00:50:19,600
Speaker 1: roster you have any one can have an elite defense

700
00:50:19,640 --> 00:50:23,839
Speaker 1: With luca And kyrie on. It and SO I i

701
00:50:23,880 --> 00:50:26,759
Speaker 1: think we just saw. It we literally just saw. It

702
00:50:26,840 --> 00:50:32,080
Speaker 1: and so there's gonna be some, overreaction which is, listen

703
00:50:32,280 --> 00:50:34,000
Speaker 1: which is what we're supposed to do this time of.

704
00:50:34,120 --> 00:50:41,040
Speaker 1: Year but there are get ready demons four AN nba you,

705

00:53:44,520 --> 00:53:46,880
Speaker 2: along with this series Impact lebron's?

751

753
00:53:53,440 --> 00:53:59,760
Speaker 1: not you, demonse that'd beating my. Wife i'm not so All,

754
00:54:00,640 --> 00:54:09,960
Speaker 1: UH i will at some point do because, listen The

755
00:54:10,080 --> 00:54:16,040
Speaker 1: lebron legacy thing is only A lebron Versus jordan conversation

756
00:54:16,160 --> 00:54:19,799
Speaker 1: at this. Point that's what people have made it to.

757
00:54:19,840 --> 00:54:25,400
Speaker 1: Be that's. Fine AND i don't Think lebron was, great

758
00:54:25,400 --> 00:54:28,400
Speaker 1: AND i thought he was great over The it was

759
00:54:28,480 --> 00:54:31,480
Speaker 1: great In games, two, three and, Four but over the

760
00:54:31,520 --> 00:54:34,520
Speaker 1: course of the, SERIES i thought he was. FINE i

761
00:54:34,600 --> 00:54:42,280
Speaker 1: do think he was exponentially and demonstrably better Than Michael

762
00:54:42,360 --> 00:54:45,279
Speaker 1: jordan was in the playoffs at any point after he

763
00:54:45,320 --> 00:54:47,640
Speaker 1: was thirty five And lebron's. Forty and that's Because Michael

764
00:54:47,680 --> 00:54:49,719
Speaker 1: jordan never made the playoffs after he was thirty. Five

765
00:54:49,800 --> 00:54:52,359
Speaker 1: so if we're just gonna do A Lebron jordan, thing

766
00:54:52,640 --> 00:54:55,919
Speaker 1: there's a whole. Thing, Listen i'm not going and don't

767
00:54:55,920 --> 00:55:00,239
