1 00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:12,680 Speaker 1: This is straight Fire with Jason McIntyre. What is up? 2 00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:18,120 Speaker 1: Straight Fire? Fam, It's me Jason McIntyre. Straight Fire for Thursday, 3 00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:22,840 Speaker 1: June two. It's NBA Finals night. It doesn't quite have 4 00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:24,920 Speaker 1: a super Bowl field to it, but I have had 5 00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:27,360 Speaker 1: more people ask me, Hey, were you gonna watch Game one? Yeah, 6 00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:29,360 Speaker 1: you guys are gonna hit a bar, A bunch of 7 00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:32,080 Speaker 1: guys dad looking. Hey, listen, it's a Thursday night. It's 8 00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:34,640 Speaker 1: an excuse to get out nice weather. School years nearly 9 00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:38,040 Speaker 1: over and we finally get Game one Warriors. I've had 10 00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:41,520 Speaker 1: a week off Celtics obviously, less time getting pushed to seven. 11 00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:44,160 Speaker 1: So Game one tonight, Well, I'll give you some bets, 12 00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:47,000 Speaker 1: some actionable wagers. I know you guys are are going 13 00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:49,879 Speaker 1: to be firing. I don't know about you, guys. I 14 00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:52,839 Speaker 1: don't mess around betting on baseball. I think it's highly 15 00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:57,120 Speaker 1: volatile and risky. I don't watch you NHL. I have 16 00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:58,920 Speaker 1: no idea what's going on in the postseason. Don't bet 17 00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:05,679 Speaker 1: on that. This is really my final gambling opportunity until football. Basically, 18 00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:08,479 Speaker 1: I mean, maybe you know, if somebody says, hey, hey, 19 00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:10,920 Speaker 1: I got something for you in this tennis match, ja 20 00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,600 Speaker 1: it's a lock, maybe I'll throw it, but that's very 21 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:17,759 Speaker 1: rare that I'll just be gambling on anything other than basketball, football, 22 00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:22,360 Speaker 1: and football obviously is number one, clearly, But that's months away, 23 00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:24,720 Speaker 1: and you know we're about to hit the dry spell. 24 00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:29,240 Speaker 1: I nearly considered opening today's podcast with Johnny Depp winning 25 00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:32,760 Speaker 1: a fifteen million dollar verdict against Amber Heard in the 26 00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:37,720 Speaker 1: TikTok Trial of the Century. In real talk with you guys, 27 00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:39,840 Speaker 1: I didn't watch one second of it. I haven't watched 28 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,080 Speaker 1: any of the analysis anytime, Like I have the news 29 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,560 Speaker 1: on while I'm working in the office, anytime I see 30 00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:46,600 Speaker 1: the Johnny depping and just mute, you know, change the 31 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:48,559 Speaker 1: channel or whatever. I'm not into it now. My wife 32 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:52,760 Speaker 1: followed it very closely on TikTok. We discussed it sometimes, 33 00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:55,360 Speaker 1: and I will be honest. When I saw the verdict, 34 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,760 Speaker 1: I was stunned. You know, most of these cases the 35 00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 1: guy loses um Amber heard apparently certifiably crazy. Yeah, I 36 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:05,800 Speaker 1: got guys tweeting at me. Have you seen Johnny Depp's 37 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:07,920 Speaker 1: lawyer always gotta be dating? Or oh she's so hot 38 00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,080 Speaker 1: and smart and all this suff I'm just like, you know, 39 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,240 Speaker 1: this has been like a big deal. I just you know, 40 00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:15,080 Speaker 1: it's it's a it's a big blind spot that I 41 00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:18,000 Speaker 1: have in in the culture right now is the Johnny 42 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:21,440 Speaker 1: Depp trial. I just I didn't pay attention to it. 43 00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:23,840 Speaker 1: You've got to kind of condense what you want to 44 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,880 Speaker 1: focus on. For instance, this week, went to a Dodgers 45 00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,600 Speaker 1: game with a couple of buddies and we got, you know, 46 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,920 Speaker 1: Fox hooked up some really nice seats and we're at 47 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,359 Speaker 1: the game and you know, Pittsburgh sending batteries to the plate, 48 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 1: and I'm like, who are these guys? Honestly literally never 49 00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 1: heard of almost anyone in the Pittsburgh Pirates roster. And 50 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:45,920 Speaker 1: it was just studying, Like you know, I obviously I 51 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:49,959 Speaker 1: like baseball, Going to games is super fun watching them 52 00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:53,120 Speaker 1: following on hundred sixty two. That's a slog. It is 53 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:58,240 Speaker 1: tough postseason obviously very exciting, But blind spots, you know, 54 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,120 Speaker 1: for instance, I know nothing think about the Pittsburgh Pirates. 55 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:03,919 Speaker 1: Couldn't tell you who's winning each division in Major League Baseball, 56 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,760 Speaker 1: but I can't tell you this. The Nets Sixers had 57 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 1: a big situation on Wednesday, apparently based on the Ben 58 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:15,840 Speaker 1: Simmons James Harden deal, one of the options for the 59 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,520 Speaker 1: Nets was they can take Philly's first round pick this year, 60 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:22,040 Speaker 1: which is twenty three, or they can decline it and 61 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,760 Speaker 1: kick it to next year. And I thought this was 62 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 1: a significant thing on on Wednesday, and I start texting 63 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:28,800 Speaker 1: people about it and they're like, yeah, I guess it's 64 00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:32,240 Speaker 1: kind of interesting. The Nets said, we don't want the 65 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 1: Sixers pick twenty three this year, We'll take next year. 66 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 1: So it's an option to maybe see what happens with 67 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 1: the Sixers, and perhaps the Nets feel the James Harden 68 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 1: thing could implode. By the way, I haven't seen anything 69 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,480 Speaker 1: about James Harden except partying in the off season. Now listen, 70 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,800 Speaker 1: if I was his age and single and wealthy beyond belief, 71 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,160 Speaker 1: I'd probably be doing the same thing. That being said, 72 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 1: there's a large segment of the NBA who are in 73 00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,800 Speaker 1: the gym as soon as the season's over. Jayson Tatum, 74 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:06,119 Speaker 1: Thay Mislead instantly in the gym after numerous postseason losses, 75 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:09,000 Speaker 1: and now is in the NBA Finals. That being said, 76 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 1: I think this is a smart move by the Nets 77 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 1: because in reality, there is a chance that the Sixers 78 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,720 Speaker 1: implode next year. Let's say James Harden isn't what the 79 00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 1: team next year that that's an option. I'd say a 80 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 1: small chance of it happening. Obviously very very bad for 81 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 1: the Sixers. Let's just say Joel Embido, as we all 82 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:31,040 Speaker 1: know an injury history. Anything happens to empat. Now if 83 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:32,840 Speaker 1: Harden's out there and something happens to him, bet you're 84 00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:35,800 Speaker 1: looking at like a team. And now you're talking about 85 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,159 Speaker 1: a lottery pick that conveys to the nets. So it's 86 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 1: obviously very smart. And of course, you know, Sixers fans 87 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 1: are like, oh, they're stupid. We're gonna be way better 88 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 1: next year, you know, hard and a full season. And 89 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:50,279 Speaker 1: I'm just like, alright, guys, keep dreaming, keep on dreaming. Um. 90 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 1: So I thought that was like a significant news. Obviously, 91 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:57,600 Speaker 1: I'm also the guy watching Argentina three Italy zero in 92 00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:01,359 Speaker 1: a soccer match. Messy was incredible. Sports Radio has the 93 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 1: best sports talk lineup in the nation. Catch all of 94 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 1: our shows at Fox sports Radio dot com and within 95 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,360 Speaker 1: the I Heart Radio app search f s R to 96 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:14,120 Speaker 1: listen live. While I was doing that, and I know, 97 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 1: only like seventeen people will care about this. Obviously, it's 98 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:22,400 Speaker 1: Liga MX offseason, so moves are happening. I was researching 99 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:28,280 Speaker 1: players that Nick Coxa could go after players nickox is 100 00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 1: getting back from loan, and it is fascinating and super confusing. 101 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 1: I do have a couple of guys who are hardcore 102 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:38,800 Speaker 1: NW COXA fans sending me messages on i G with like, hey, 103 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:40,520 Speaker 1: look at this guy and the I mean the guy's 104 00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:44,600 Speaker 1: providing stats and background. It's like pretty interesting stuff. The 105 00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 1: problem is trying to understand the complex nature of the 106 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 1: contracts out there is very difficult. I mean it is 107 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:54,720 Speaker 1: a weave of website. This is not the NBA where 108 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:58,960 Speaker 1: if you go to literally hoops Hype salaries, you can 109 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:02,640 Speaker 1: get every nb A team, look at the salaries for 110 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 1: every player and how long they last, with like a 111 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 1: color coded player option, a color coded qualifying offer. It 112 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:12,400 Speaker 1: is so easy to make up trades for the NBA 113 00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 1: that way. NFL does you know. I don't think there's 114 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 1: a one stop shop that's as good, obviously because there's 115 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:21,200 Speaker 1: so many more players. But that's my go to for 116 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,120 Speaker 1: the NBA instantly like, oh, how did the MAVs look 117 00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 1: next year? Boom? You could just call up their salary 118 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,920 Speaker 1: chart and look at them. For soccer, it is very difficult, 119 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:32,000 Speaker 1: especially um you know, international soccer. So like I spent 120 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,159 Speaker 1: a lot of time doing that and came across a 121 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:38,440 Speaker 1: couple of one interesting oddity as I was researching that 122 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:41,880 Speaker 1: and the NBA Finals. I don't know who came up 123 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:46,440 Speaker 1: with this, but the last three NBA teams in the 124 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:51,159 Speaker 1: playoffs that beat Jimmy Butler won the championship. Kawhi Leonard 125 00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:54,480 Speaker 1: beat Butler in you guys remember the Game seven, incredible 126 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:58,240 Speaker 1: shot from the corner by Kauai lucky shot, Butler was 127 00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:02,279 Speaker 1: on the sixers. The following year, Lebron beats Butler in 128 00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 1: the Bubble NBA Finals. Butler was obviously incredible. And then 129 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 1: last year the Milwaukee Bucks take down Jimmy Butler Jimmy 130 00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:14,000 Speaker 1: Buckets in the playoffs. Uh heat did not put up 131 00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:15,720 Speaker 1: much of a fight in that one, and that was 132 00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:17,640 Speaker 1: when they knew they knew they needed to anny up. 133 00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:20,440 Speaker 1: They ended up getting lowerry and that fizzled out here 134 00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,680 Speaker 1: in these playoffs. But the last three teams to beat 135 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:27,040 Speaker 1: Jimmy Butler won the title. Now, of course that leads 136 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:30,360 Speaker 1: to the Boston Celtics this year. Now, I will say 137 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,240 Speaker 1: before I go in this ramble, about the finals and 138 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:37,200 Speaker 1: and kind of a media rant if you will, I 139 00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:41,360 Speaker 1: will point this out. I don't know many people who 140 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:44,800 Speaker 1: are taking the Celtics, and that's always one of those 141 00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:46,800 Speaker 1: Wait a minute, because you know we talked about this 142 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,320 Speaker 1: during the NFL, right, if you see, I don't know, 143 00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:52,800 Speaker 1: let's just take Seahawks Cardinals, and of the people are 144 00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,920 Speaker 1: on the Cardinals against the spread, and everybody's talking about 145 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,120 Speaker 1: Cardinals are gonna crush them. I'm loading up on Cardinals 146 00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:03,760 Speaker 1: in DFS and fantasy. Take a pause and just take 147 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:05,760 Speaker 1: a look at Seattle. Maybe covering the spread one of 148 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:10,280 Speaker 1: those deals I listen. I usually just put out my 149 00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:14,480 Speaker 1: pick and thoughts on social media and people reply and 150 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:19,760 Speaker 1: I'll see. I would say, people are taking the Warriors 151 00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:23,520 Speaker 1: in six or seven I've seen so. Then I went 152 00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:28,480 Speaker 1: to ESPN and they have like they canvass all their 153 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,480 Speaker 1: NBA reporters, Right, So twenty guys cover the league, twenty 154 00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:35,959 Speaker 1: guys and girls cover the league, and fifteen of them 155 00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 1: pick the Warriors, five pick the Celtics. And I thought 156 00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,120 Speaker 1: about it. I'm like, what are these people act? Do 157 00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:50,319 Speaker 1: they believe the Celtics or the side, or are they 158 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 1: doing that to cut through and this is gonna be 159 00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:55,439 Speaker 1: just a quick media rant. So you guys know, back 160 00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:58,480 Speaker 1: when I owned the Big Lead the website, and we 161 00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:01,600 Speaker 1: would have to cover obviously all the big sporting events, 162 00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:03,800 Speaker 1: and it's easy. During the season, there's a million things 163 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:07,680 Speaker 1: going on. You get to the NBA Finals, it's two teams. Yeah, 164 00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:10,959 Speaker 1: there's a couple of stars. It is obvious that it's 165 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,080 Speaker 1: gonna be tough to cut through cut through the media noise. 166 00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:19,559 Speaker 1: Right now, it's amplified to the nth degree with social media, 167 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:24,200 Speaker 1: TV shows, radio podcasts are now a thing. Like if 168 00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:27,120 Speaker 1: everybody and their mom is picking Warriors in six and seven, 169 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:30,319 Speaker 1: it's tough to cut through. So is the move to 170 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:34,560 Speaker 1: go counter programming. Hey give me the Celtics and six. 171 00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:37,400 Speaker 1: Wait what you're taking the Celtics. I just looked at 172 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:39,320 Speaker 1: their roster. They don't have one player who's been in 173 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:43,480 Speaker 1: the NBA Finals ever, their head coach is a rookie. 174 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:47,319 Speaker 1: You're taking them? Really? And I wonder if these people 175 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:50,240 Speaker 1: genuinely believe the Celtics of the side or are they 176 00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:53,079 Speaker 1: saying it to cut through and kind of get out 177 00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,400 Speaker 1: get their name out there, because it's it's very difficult. 178 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,640 Speaker 1: I mean if you even look at the narratives in 179 00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:01,280 Speaker 1: the NBA Finals, every thing is slanted toward the Warriors 180 00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:04,800 Speaker 1: and specifically Steph Curry. Can you find me one person 181 00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:09,720 Speaker 1: who has said, Wow, remember three years ago when the 182 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,040 Speaker 1: Celtics were like, should we break up Tatum and Brown? 183 00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:14,839 Speaker 1: And then remember two years ago when people were saying 184 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,439 Speaker 1: the exact same thing, should we break up Datum? Around? 185 00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:19,960 Speaker 1: And then last year do we trade Marcus Smart? Like? 186 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,720 Speaker 1: What do we do? Do we move Brown? Remember, like 187 00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,080 Speaker 1: Tatum is the guy, but can you trade someone else? 188 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:27,160 Speaker 1: And kind of do we need to make that change? 189 00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:30,199 Speaker 1: In now? Boston kept it, stay the course and oh, 190 00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:33,560 Speaker 1: by the way, they're in the NBA Finals. And we 191 00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:36,120 Speaker 1: had been doing this with Portland forever, right with Damon 192 00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:39,280 Speaker 1: c J. And they make the Western Conference finals. We're close, 193 00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:43,040 Speaker 1: We close for close next year bounced following year doesn't 194 00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:46,200 Speaker 1: work and then Dames left alone and c J. McCollum 195 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:49,440 Speaker 1: has traded to New Orleans. And this is kind of 196 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:52,199 Speaker 1: what we do in the media, right the build up 197 00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,000 Speaker 1: followed by the tear down. I mean, Jason Tatum obviously 198 00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:57,040 Speaker 1: at the very beginning of his career in Boston was incredible, 199 00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:00,200 Speaker 1: just a Monster, and you could see they were gonna 200 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:02,600 Speaker 1: be good. But again three or four years later, no, 201 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:04,920 Speaker 1: no trips to the finals. Well, just how good are they? 202 00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:08,080 Speaker 1: Did Jana's pass them? Brooklyn's got a super team? Are 203 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:10,080 Speaker 1: they ever going to get through? And they got through? 204 00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:13,880 Speaker 1: Now they got helped by no Middleton obviously, and the 205 00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:18,720 Speaker 1: Ben Simmons, Joe Harris's injuries too, Um Brooklyn and of 206 00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:22,800 Speaker 1: course Miami had their issues with Lowry and Tyler Hero 207 00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:26,200 Speaker 1: and you could say Boston got a little fortunate, but 208 00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:28,520 Speaker 1: it's it just struck me as a little bit odd 209 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:32,000 Speaker 1: that nobody seems to be picking Boston, which is kind 210 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:33,440 Speaker 1: of a red flag. Now, if you remember a couple 211 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:35,680 Speaker 1: of weeks ago, I was saying on here that Boston 212 00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:39,520 Speaker 1: scares me if I'm the Warriors, and I would much 213 00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:43,040 Speaker 1: rather have seen the Heat. Frankly, I would much rather 214 00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:45,240 Speaker 1: see the Bucks without Middleton. Now, I guess Middleton would 215 00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:47,640 Speaker 1: have been back by the finals. But this is not 216 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,520 Speaker 1: a great matchup for Golden State. And I'll tell you why. 217 00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:54,280 Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in 218 00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:57,319 Speaker 1: the nation. Catch all of our shows at Fox sports 219 00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 1: Radio dot com and within the I Heart Radio app. 220 00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:03,960 Speaker 1: Search f s R to listen live. So for starters, 221 00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:07,160 Speaker 1: Marcus Smart is one of the best defenders in the league. 222 00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:10,120 Speaker 1: He just won Defensive Player of the Year six four 223 00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:14,520 Speaker 1: long physical you know he's cut from the Tony Allen mold. 224 00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:16,319 Speaker 1: And if you guys remember Tony Allen, the guy who 225 00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:18,680 Speaker 1: would shout first team All Defense playing for Memphis a 226 00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:22,240 Speaker 1: few years back, Tony Allen gave Curry problems. I think 227 00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:24,640 Speaker 1: it was a twenty fifteen playoffs Memphis actually led to 228 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:28,120 Speaker 1: to one and then Golden State just steamrolled him the 229 00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:30,040 Speaker 1: rest of the way and ended up winning the championship. 230 00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:33,600 Speaker 1: But Smart historically has given Curry lots of problems. And 231 00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,760 Speaker 1: this has also led me to and I touched on yesterday, 232 00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:39,920 Speaker 1: if you're looking for two long shot m vps outside 233 00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:42,520 Speaker 1: of Curry and Tatum, who are heavy favorites, you know, 234 00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:44,480 Speaker 1: Jalen Brown is probably gonna get a little action. I 235 00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:47,000 Speaker 1: can't see it on Clay. I guess I said Jordan 236 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:50,240 Speaker 1: Pool was thirty to one yesterday. Marcus Smart has some value. 237 00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:53,000 Speaker 1: This is a guy if he's able to hound Curry. 238 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 1: And you know that narrative is out there. Oh Curry 239 00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:58,480 Speaker 1: in a silly, erroneous narrative, Curry's not go to the finals. 240 00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:01,080 Speaker 1: I mean the guy. I think he's the eleventh leading 241 00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:05,760 Speaker 1: score in NBA Finals history. He's he average like twenty 242 00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:07,480 Speaker 1: four game in the finals. Now are his numbers down? 243 00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:09,840 Speaker 1: Of course, everyone's numbers are down in the finals. That's 244 00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:14,640 Speaker 1: how it works. Now. Smaller guards have had issues in 245 00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:16,079 Speaker 1: the in the playoffs because they can be kind of 246 00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,160 Speaker 1: shut down. You hug him up on the perimeter, and 247 00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:20,400 Speaker 1: then when they're driving in the lane, they're meeting many, 248 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:24,600 Speaker 1: many big bodies, and I just this is not a 249 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:27,840 Speaker 1: great matchup for Curry. Not only Marcus Smart, but Tatum 250 00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:30,319 Speaker 1: and Brown are long. They'll give problems. I will grant Williams, 251 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:32,480 Speaker 1: who's done pretty well defensively. I think he's gonna be 252 00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:36,200 Speaker 1: a huge factor in this in this series because another 253 00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:39,560 Speaker 1: minor take I have is, you know, Robert Williams barely 254 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:41,560 Speaker 1: could play in Game seven for the Celtics. He's been 255 00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:45,439 Speaker 1: injured with a various assortment of injuries. And if he's 256 00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:48,160 Speaker 1: not able to go, where's the depth behind Al Horford, who, 257 00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:50,840 Speaker 1: I will remind you guys thirty five years old and 258 00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:54,560 Speaker 1: was gassed at the end of the Miami series. He 259 00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:57,040 Speaker 1: was tired in the Milwaukee series. If you remember he 260 00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:00,400 Speaker 1: had in Game five I think it was, oh no, 261 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:03,040 Speaker 1: maybe it was Game six, but he had thirty points 262 00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,199 Speaker 1: in a in a tremendous effort. He got him through 263 00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:07,360 Speaker 1: the third quarter, and then in the fourth Tatum took over. 264 00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:10,959 Speaker 1: But that was like his best game of the playoffs. 265 00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:13,320 Speaker 1: He emptied the tank in that one. He did nothing 266 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:17,680 Speaker 1: in Game seven, absolutely nothing against Miami. He looked tired, 267 00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:19,280 Speaker 1: and then he had one of those turn back the 268 00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:22,560 Speaker 1: clock games Game two twenty and fourteen. He was okay 269 00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:24,160 Speaker 1: in Game five, but otherwise look at at Home for 270 00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:26,440 Speaker 1: he didn't do much. The guy's tired two back to 271 00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:29,200 Speaker 1: back seven game series, and now they're gonna he I 272 00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:31,720 Speaker 1: know he's a historically good defender. Now he's gonna be 273 00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:34,320 Speaker 1: tasked with chasing the lens of Curry and Pool and 274 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:37,440 Speaker 1: Clay and fighting through a gauntlet of screens. This is 275 00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:40,240 Speaker 1: not great for Boston. So if Robert Williams is is 276 00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:42,560 Speaker 1: not gonna be a factor here due to injuries, Boston 277 00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:44,120 Speaker 1: is in deep trouble and I could see it getting 278 00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:47,600 Speaker 1: them getting bounced in five. I definitely like Golden State 279 00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:49,280 Speaker 1: in game one. I already took the three and a half. 280 00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:51,480 Speaker 1: Now the problem, of course, is the world is on 281 00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:55,440 Speaker 1: the Warriors. Here everything lines up Boston. You know, I 282 00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:57,600 Speaker 1: was drilling down a little bit on this, uh, the 283 00:14:57,640 --> 00:14:59,560 Speaker 1: three point shooting that they're gonna face from the Warriors. 284 00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:04,240 Speaker 1: Boston's opponents in the playoffs were not volume three point 285 00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:09,320 Speaker 1: shooting teams, the Nets, the Bucks, eleventh, the Heat eight. 286 00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:13,640 Speaker 1: Weir's attempt more threes than all of those. You basically 287 00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:16,520 Speaker 1: have to change your entire strategy going from we gotta 288 00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:18,240 Speaker 1: stop k D. We we gotta stop k D, shut 289 00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:20,400 Speaker 1: him down, we gotta do everything. Okay, we gotta stop 290 00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:21,760 Speaker 1: you honest, we gotta we gotta do the fence. We 291 00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:24,560 Speaker 1: gotta focus on your honest, we can't let him beat us. 292 00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:27,360 Speaker 1: And then Jimmy Butler. So you're going from forwards to 293 00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:31,440 Speaker 1: now a guard in Curry and more of a system 294 00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:34,360 Speaker 1: that they run where it's hey, we're gonna spread you out, 295 00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:37,480 Speaker 1: do the pick and roll, and there's gonna be so 296 00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:39,880 Speaker 1: much space because you've got a Curry guard. Curry thirty 297 00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:41,680 Speaker 1: ft from the hoop. By the way, I'm sure you 298 00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:45,240 Speaker 1: saw the Instagram video I posted, uh from him Curry 299 00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:48,760 Speaker 1: shooting Wednesday. It was incredible. He's doing all this sidestep 300 00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:52,440 Speaker 1: stuff and step back threes, makes thirteen of them in 301 00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:55,320 Speaker 1: a row from the corner, all different moves like handle 302 00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:59,600 Speaker 1: vision everything. It was incredible, like like it's magical. And 303 00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:01,960 Speaker 1: the Celtics now have to guard him thirty feet from 304 00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,440 Speaker 1: the basket. Well, what does that do? That creates open 305 00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:07,240 Speaker 1: lanes to run for the likes of Wiggins, for the 306 00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:10,240 Speaker 1: likes of Jalen Brown and Boston. If they don't have 307 00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:12,560 Speaker 1: Robert Williams on the back line, it's gonna be another 308 00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:14,760 Speaker 1: layup line like it was against the Maps. And so 309 00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:16,840 Speaker 1: there is a scenario where the Warriors steam roll. And 310 00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,680 Speaker 1: that being said, I'm not gonna you know, I'm still 311 00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:22,680 Speaker 1: picking the Warriors and six because who knows, maybe Rob 312 00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:25,040 Speaker 1: Williams goes all seven games if he's healthy. It's a 313 00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:27,640 Speaker 1: game changer because it's not Andrew Wiggins. You're not gonna 314 00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:29,400 Speaker 1: be laying up and dunking it like you were against 315 00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:32,280 Speaker 1: Dallas and Clay Thompson master the reverse in the in 316 00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:35,040 Speaker 1: the finish, that's gonna all be challenged at the rim. 317 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:37,440 Speaker 1: So I wonder if Williams can't go, you know, they 318 00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:39,800 Speaker 1: don't have confidence in Daniel feets. Are we gonna see 319 00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:43,120 Speaker 1: a big Grant Williams series? Now, he of course had 320 00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:46,000 Speaker 1: the Big Game seven. He is also prone to thinking 321 00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:49,080 Speaker 1: he's a lot better than he is, and there is 322 00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:51,480 Speaker 1: a scenario where he shoots them out of the game. 323 00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:54,320 Speaker 1: And I don't want to do the one on one 324 00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:57,480 Speaker 1: matchups because that's not really how the NBA works at 325 00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:00,600 Speaker 1: this level. Basically, you hunt the weakest matchup, and you 326 00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:02,720 Speaker 1: know you could try to hunt Curry, but he's he's 327 00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:06,200 Speaker 1: a plus defender for his length compared to a guy 328 00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:08,800 Speaker 1: like Jordan Pool, who we know, kid could barely guard 329 00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:11,639 Speaker 1: a chair at this moment. He was mercilessly played off 330 00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:14,439 Speaker 1: the court by the Mavericks in much of that series. 331 00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:17,960 Speaker 1: He dominated Denver for a couple of games, detonated early 332 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,520 Speaker 1: against Memphis, and then obviously they saw like, oh my gosh, 333 00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:22,840 Speaker 1: this guy can't guard anybody. Let's put him in action 334 00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:25,120 Speaker 1: every time down the floor. Let's go right at him 335 00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:28,320 Speaker 1: and if he's gonna foul out or guess what, he's 336 00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:30,480 Speaker 1: gonna get played off the court because he can't stop anybody. 337 00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:33,800 Speaker 1: And that led to some Moses Moody minutes, some commingam minutes. 338 00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:36,560 Speaker 1: I still think there is a little bit of value 339 00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:40,280 Speaker 1: on Pool simply because they're gonna need offense if Curry 340 00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:43,720 Speaker 1: is unable to get you know, forty point knights that 341 00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:46,040 Speaker 1: he is prone to do. If he can't do that, 342 00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:48,160 Speaker 1: what are we talking about. Clay Thompson is not gonna 343 00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:51,400 Speaker 1: give you twenty five every night. He's not. He's I'll 344 00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:53,320 Speaker 1: show up for a half, I'll show up for game 345 00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:55,720 Speaker 1: six if there is one, and maybe another game. And 346 00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:57,600 Speaker 1: like here they're like, he's just not the guy he was. 347 00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:00,440 Speaker 1: It's not a knock, that's just reality. And now we 348 00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:02,800 Speaker 1: can what expect Andrew Wiggins to pump in twenty five 349 00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:06,639 Speaker 1: a night. Um, it's just a weird scenario for Golden 350 00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:08,959 Speaker 1: State where it's like, if you can't count on Curry, 351 00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:12,600 Speaker 1: suddenly who is there? Because after Jimmy Butler, remember there 352 00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:15,480 Speaker 1: was nobody nobody on miamime is Tyler hero? And then 353 00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:17,520 Speaker 1: he got hurt and it was like, jeez, Max Strus, 354 00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:21,240 Speaker 1: So we are we serious here? I like the Warriors 355 00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:24,440 Speaker 1: to win the series. And the one thing that unnerves 356 00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:26,520 Speaker 1: me a little bit is that and I touched on 357 00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:29,280 Speaker 1: the media stuff earlier. When you look at the narratives 358 00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:32,320 Speaker 1: going into this there's three that are basically dominating the 359 00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:37,119 Speaker 1: conversation this week is Steph Curry gonna pass Magic Johnson 360 00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:39,920 Speaker 1: is the best point guard with a championship, which ignored 361 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:44,080 Speaker 1: they forget the series. Let's look historically, like, can we 362 00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:46,160 Speaker 1: slow the role a little bit? Like I love talking 363 00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:48,520 Speaker 1: about that stuff. No, no, cap is my my little 364 00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:50,919 Speaker 1: eleven year old sist I love. I could talk endlessly 365 00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:53,600 Speaker 1: about Curry Magic. I think I started it four years 366 00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:55,800 Speaker 1: ago on cow Hurt Joe. Not the brag, but I said, 367 00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:57,680 Speaker 1: Curry is the second best point guard and all these 368 00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:02,359 Speaker 1: John Stockton truthers and these Isaiah Thomas people and have 369 00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:05,119 Speaker 1: the check in this nonsense. I was like, no, stop, 370 00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:07,840 Speaker 1: Curry's number two. And that was when they were ascending 371 00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:11,480 Speaker 1: with Duran and dominating. Um. Magic, as I've told you guys, 372 00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:14,160 Speaker 1: was my favorite player growing up. Loved him. First NBA 373 00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:19,280 Speaker 1: game I went to was at the Garden Um. It 374 00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:21,880 Speaker 1: was Patrick Ewing against your bar. Magic Johnson was there 375 00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:24,480 Speaker 1: and I was just like, this guy's controlling the game. 376 00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:26,000 Speaker 1: Oh my, I can't take my eyes off them. I 377 00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,160 Speaker 1: want to be this guy. And then the second game 378 00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:29,960 Speaker 1: was at the four of My dad had a rare 379 00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:33,120 Speaker 1: business trip out west and we went to Lakers Nicks. 380 00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:35,239 Speaker 1: I don't know how they stumbled into tickets, but we 381 00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:38,600 Speaker 1: went at the Forum and it was great. And again 382 00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:41,800 Speaker 1: it was like Magic Johnson, Oh my gosh, this guy's great. 383 00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:43,840 Speaker 1: And of course that was at a time when you 384 00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:48,680 Speaker 1: couldn't see every single game Tuesday night, Thursday night, Sunday night. 385 00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:50,800 Speaker 1: It was like, you know, game of the week I 386 00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:53,639 Speaker 1: think on NBC back and then maybe I don't even know, 387 00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:56,120 Speaker 1: maybe it was CB. You know, CBS I think had 388 00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:58,879 Speaker 1: the rights in the eighties, Dick Stockton and Tommy Heinson 389 00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:01,399 Speaker 1: were the announcers. Like you couldn't see that many games, 390 00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:03,560 Speaker 1: So seeing Magic up close, I was like, oh, I 391 00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:05,479 Speaker 1: love this guy. And then of course Curry passed him. 392 00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:09,479 Speaker 1: This is a fun stat. Magic played thirteen seasons Curry 393 00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:14,480 Speaker 1: and is in his thirteenth season. It doesn't seem like 394 00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:17,479 Speaker 1: that's possible because Curry looks way younger than Magic did 395 00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:22,080 Speaker 1: at thirty four, but they're both played thirteen seasons. Now, 396 00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:25,040 Speaker 1: I don't think Curry can pass Magic. With a championship 397 00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:27,719 Speaker 1: at the finals, MVP, he's looking great heading into your 398 00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:30,600 Speaker 1: thirty thirty seven. That's all I'll say. I'll just leave 399 00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:32,760 Speaker 1: that at that. So that's one narrative. The second one 400 00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:35,960 Speaker 1: is just Curry pass Durant in this mythical all time 401 00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:38,919 Speaker 1: ratings thing, which of course there's no consensus, but we 402 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,840 Speaker 1: love to talk about it at nausea. Curry passing Durant 403 00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:45,160 Speaker 1: is spicy. I don't necessarily think we can go there 404 00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:48,000 Speaker 1: yet again because they haven't won the championship. That being said, 405 00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:52,360 Speaker 1: Curry wonner title before Durant, with Durant and after Durant, 406 00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:56,439 Speaker 1: He's got a really strong case. And the last one, 407 00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:58,560 Speaker 1: of course, which I have touched on a little bit, 408 00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:02,320 Speaker 1: which I I think there is merit to it, does 409 00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:04,520 Speaker 1: Curry have a case as a top ten all time player? 410 00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:08,480 Speaker 1: And I'll just say he's building a very strong case, 411 00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:11,879 Speaker 1: hypothetically as the guy who just said I hate that 412 00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:15,280 Speaker 1: people are talking about this. That being said, if Curry 413 00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:17,720 Speaker 1: wins the title and the finals MVP, He's got two 414 00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:22,359 Speaker 1: scoring titles, two regular season m VPS four titles, and 415 00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:24,520 Speaker 1: now the finals he's got like I mean, there's like 416 00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:27,919 Speaker 1: seven players on the planet who have done that in 417 00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:31,399 Speaker 1: the history of basketball. Now, who you brewed out is 418 00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:34,119 Speaker 1: the question, and we'll have to go there after the finals, 419 00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:35,960 Speaker 1: when there is a lot of downtime because there's really 420 00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:38,359 Speaker 1: no NFL action. College football is trying to get in 421 00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:41,480 Speaker 1: the discussion right now with some with some stuff. Rob 422 00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:44,320 Speaker 1: g wanted me to touch on the golf Dustin Johnson thing. 423 00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:47,040 Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna wait on that. Um. It is 424 00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:49,800 Speaker 1: a little spicy. This whole Saudi Arabia Tour and the 425 00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:52,240 Speaker 1: p GA seems to be crumbling where they can fireback 426 00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:55,159 Speaker 1: at Dustin and Phil. They're just gonna alienate some of 427 00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:58,000 Speaker 1: the top most popular golfers. It's a spicy story. I'm 428 00:21:58,040 --> 00:21:59,640 Speaker 1: not I don't know enough. Maybe we'll have a golf 429 00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:02,680 Speaker 1: guest New Week if this story keeps buildings team. But 430 00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:05,520 Speaker 1: right now it's all systems go. I got the Warriors 431 00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:09,320 Speaker 1: in six. I'm excited for the finals. I think Curry 432 00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:11,800 Speaker 1: wins the m v P. But again, Pool and Smart 433 00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:15,160 Speaker 1: are the two dark horses. Obviously, I would not be 434 00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:18,480 Speaker 1: shocked if Boston one. I think they're that good. I 435 00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:22,200 Speaker 1: think the more fun discussion for Boston is over under 436 00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:24,879 Speaker 1: two and a half finals trips for Jason Tatum, like 437 00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:28,360 Speaker 1: how loaded is the East can these guys get back 438 00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:31,719 Speaker 1: here because remember we saw it hardened. K D. Russ 439 00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:34,679 Speaker 1: got there, never got back there again. It's tough to 440 00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:37,280 Speaker 1: get to the finals, which and I'll end on a 441 00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:41,359 Speaker 1: Lebron note, which is why Lebron deserves more credit. Getting 442 00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:44,000 Speaker 1: to the finals is way more than half the Battle 443 00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:47,679 Speaker 1: and Curry sixth trip in eight years. I'm I'm stoked. 444 00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:53,760 Speaker 1: I will go one oh seven to eighty nine. Warriors 445 00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:55,920 Speaker 1: runaway with it late one of seven nine a game 446 00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:58,560 Speaker 1: one Warriors covered the spread. Enjoy it. Talk to you tomorrow.
