Speaker 1: The Sono's Move is the best portable speaker I have
Speaker 1: ever owned, and I am not just being a shill here.
Speaker 1: It's too good to be called a portable speaker. It
Speaker 1: chews up in spits out its competition. It is high quality.
Speaker 1: I use the Move as both a stationary speaker and
Speaker 1: all around my house, garage, in my outdoor space, and
Speaker 1: I've dropped the crap out of it. Regular portable speakers
Speaker 1: can't take kids like the Move. Not sure I should
Speaker 1: be saying this, but I dropped it down the stairs.
Speaker 1: Maybe I should be saying this. I'd be happy to
Speaker 1: get a second. Actually I don't need a second. Even
Speaker 1: Sono states don't worry about accidental drops or bumps. Moves
Speaker 1: components are protected by a hardwaring shock resistant case, and
Speaker 1: my system, with one I take around my place, is
Speaker 1: working very well. I use my Move as a stationary
Speaker 1: speaker a lot. It hangs out on the charging base.
Speaker 1: I love that I don't have to plug in a
Speaker 1: charging court. It has an eleven hour battery life, no joke.
Speaker 1: It works with all streaming services, the app or Airplay, Bluetooth,
Speaker 1: Amazon Alexa, and Google Assistant. I'm too lazy to be
Speaker 1: looking for new music, so I have really loved the
Speaker 1: SOS radio option. Some of my favorite stations are Rare Grooves,
Speaker 1: hip Hop Archive, or just keeping It Mainstream. If you're
Speaker 1: in the move, go to sos dot com to learn
Speaker 1: more and get your son's move Today.
Speaker 2: People ask me, don't you feel uncomfortable being with a
Speaker 2: name like the Notorious Big and why should I feel uncomfortable?
Speaker 2: We have a lot in common.

Speaker 3: com or tweet them in at no dunk sync. We're
Speaker 3: actually we'll slip in a few questions into today's show
Speaker 3: because we got so many good ones tasks that we
Speaker 3: just can't We can't do fifty questions in a beach
Speaker 3: step in podcast and go eight hours long, so we'll
Speaker 3: sprinkle a few in to this Saturday show. Oh, by
Speaker 3: the way, who's who's got the lawn h blower?
Speaker 4: Going? Already here on a Saturday? Who is it show?
Speaker 4: Put your hand up? Who oh trick every winds? That's right,
Speaker 4: that's right over Saturday.
Speaker 6: You know, I'm recording in the basement now downstairs in
Speaker 6: the bedroom, so just ground level.
Speaker 4: It's perfect. We're gonna be seeing them testing out the
Speaker 4: lawnmower four.
Speaker 6: Point zero right back here, the finest technology in the game.
Speaker 6: They've moved from pubic hair to the lawn. They're really
Speaker 6: mowing out here. Oh my goodness, this literally blows.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I used to live at the same building Trey
Speaker 3: lives at. Those guys they like to blow around a
Speaker 3: leaf for two They just move it from one section
Speaker 3: to another, back again, back and forth all day long.
Speaker 3: Okay has forty four acres at his house and he
Speaker 3: gets done trimming his lawn faster than they get done
Speaker 3: here with all concrete.
Speaker 4: It doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 1: So I was done at six am. It took a
Speaker 1: nap before this show.
Speaker 4: Wow.
Speaker 3: Wow, all right, so we've got a like I said,
Speaker 3: we got a few beach stepping cues. We'll get to
Speaker 3: We got tweeted the night as always, but we'll start
Speaker 3: with Game one of the Western Conference Finals. The Lakers
Speaker 3: roll past the Nuggets in Game one, a deceiving final score.
Speaker 3: If you didn't watch this game, task it wasn't really.
Speaker 4: All that close.
Speaker 1: It was a huge blowout. Yeah, and it turned in
Speaker 1: the second quarter when from one perspective, you'll hear the
Speaker 1: Nuggets say, whoa, they had twenty four free throws. But
Speaker 1: from the Lakers perspective, they aren't the Clippers. They have
Speaker 1: an identity, Their bench knows what they're supposed to do.
Speaker 1: Four guys talk about the lawnmower four point zero. These
Speaker 1: guys blew it open. The four guys region Rondo markis Morris,
Speaker 1: Alex Caruso, and Dwight Howard. They come on and they
Speaker 1: know they don't have a lot of minutes. They get
Speaker 1: into a track meet. They turned the Nuggets over seven
Speaker 1: times in that second quarter, and that's where the game turned.
Speaker 1: And you know, the Lakers have been chopping at the
Speaker 1: bit ready to go. Rugion Rondo already has a haircut
Speaker 1: style change in the bubble. That's how much time he's
Speaker 1: had off just to chill. He's got two hairstyles already.
Speaker 1: But they know that they are not the Clippers. They
Speaker 1: just know what they're doing. There's a hierarchy, and that
Speaker 1: second unit was chomping at the bit, and really, you know,
Speaker 1: with the foul calls aside, the aggressors got the calls
Speaker 1: in this one. There are some bad ones against the Nuggets,
Speaker 1: but the Lakers were being so aggressive that they got
Speaker 1: some of those whistles, and really the game turned even
Speaker 1: before the big players for the Nuggets got in foul
Speaker 1: trouble and had to sit, and even when they sat,
Speaker 1: the bench actually held their own for the Denver Nuggets. Really,
Speaker 1: you can argue that the Nuggets would have made a
Speaker 1: bigger comeback if Jokic and Jamal Murray were on the floor.
Speaker 1: But at the same time, the Lakers topped the bottom.
Speaker 1: They schooled the Denver Nuggets there in the second quarter.
Speaker 1: They were the better unit, and again they look nothing
Speaker 1: like the Clippers because they know what they're doing. And
Speaker 1: a lot of the times we talk about the Lakers
Speaker 1: and who their third best player is, who's going to
Speaker 1: help out Lebron and Ad Well, it's actually hard to
Speaker 1: pick in this game because they had a lot of
Speaker 1: good ones across the board with ACP and Rondo we
Speaker 1: mentioned in Dwight Howard, So I don't think the foul
Speaker 1: calls had anything to do with it. The Lakers just
Speaker 1: stomped the Nuggets in this game. And they watched the
Speaker 1: Nuggets beat the Clippers and the Jazz, and they saw
Speaker 1: a team that couldn't well, that found their flow when
Speaker 1: the defense was soft. So in that second quarter, the
Speaker 1: Lakers unit was so tough and so physical and forced
Speaker 1: the restimate calls and they didn't allow Jokic and Murray
Speaker 1: and friends to get into a rhythm. And that's why
Speaker 1: this game was really a twenty point blow up.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there were a lot of fowls on Denver in
Speaker 3: the second quarterly sixteen. I believe it was switch tied
Speaker 3: the most by any team here this season. Murray and
Speaker 3: Jokic with three before the half. Did the Nuggets let Scota,
Speaker 3: Scott Foster take them out of the game a little bit,
Speaker 3: and then sort of the tough whistle there. You know,
Speaker 3: with the Lakers forcing the issue, did they get a
Speaker 3: little flustered with how they were being officiated or do
Speaker 3: you sort of I mean that could be also true
Speaker 3: with just the Lakers dominance.
Speaker 4: What do you think?
Speaker 7: Well, I think there was two controversial calls that I
Speaker 7: thought and they were both whether they were a block
Speaker 7: or a charge on Lebron James, and they both got
Speaker 7: caught a block. And I actually don't mind that being
Speaker 7: called a block. I just want to see that called
Speaker 7: consistently now throughout the playoffs because that's the one of
Speaker 7: those calls where it's a bang bang play and there
Speaker 7: are multiple examples of where a guy it gets called
Speaker 7: for the offensive foul in that situation, but it didn't happen.
Speaker 7: And so that's the only real contentious point for me,
Speaker 7: is like, Okay, that's fine, if you're going to call it,
Speaker 7: then let's make sure that's the call for the entire series,
Speaker 7: for every player, not just for Lebron James. But the
Speaker 7: Lakers came out in this one after that first quarter,
Speaker 7: it was almost a bad first quarter for the Nuggets
Speaker 7: because the Lakers were like, all right, hey, these guys
Speaker 7: are for real. And then in that second quarter, they
Speaker 7: were just super aggressive, trying to do everything, trying to
Speaker 7: make sure that anytime Nikolae Yerkish got the ball down
Speaker 7: low as well, the Dwight Howard was trying to like
Speaker 7: smash the ball out of the court, you know, like
Speaker 7: Dwight Howard was super aggressive on the defensive end, trying
Speaker 7: to set a tone and trying to make himself relevant
Speaker 7: for this series because he didn't play against the Rockets,
Speaker 7: and Javal McGee started there against the Nuggets and Dua
Speaker 7: it was like, listen, this is a series that I
Speaker 7: can play in because athletically he can dominate Nikola jokicch
Speaker 7: So I just thought the Lakers, you know, I sort
Speaker 7: of alluded to this on yesterday's show. I think they
Speaker 7: didn't want to give the Nuggets any real life in
Speaker 7: this series at all from the start, and you saw
Speaker 7: that from every single player who was out there on
Speaker 7: the court, trying to make sure that they were sending
Speaker 7: a message that they're for real. The Lakers want to
Speaker 7: get this series over and done with it quick as possible,
Speaker 7: so overall, the Lakers outplayed Denver. Denver just didn't quite
Speaker 7: rise to the occasion when they did get in foul
Speaker 7: trouble in that second and third quarter, and then of
Speaker 7: course by the fourth quarter it was all over anyway,
Speaker 7: It didn't really matter. But the Nuggets from that first
Speaker 7: quarter have got plenty of things to be hopeful and
Speaker 7: optimistic about. They have to understand that the Lakers are
Speaker 7: not the Clippers, and the Lakers are certainly not the
Speaker 7: sort of team that can't counter punch as well as
Speaker 7: they did like in this one in the second and
Speaker 7: third quarter.
Speaker 4: Yeah, what did you think of Dwight Howard there?
Speaker 3: TK, I mean, he was pretty damn awesome, like cutting
Speaker 3: for Ali oops, back door, mixing it up with Jokich,
Speaker 3: You had the blocks for some steals and just drying fowls.
Speaker 3: I thought that was the worst foul call of the quarter,
Speaker 3: the one where Yokic and him were like tied up
Speaker 3: and suddenly Jokic got whistled on that. When I hear
Speaker 3: you on the bang bang blocker charge to where Lebron
Speaker 3: sort of barreling over guy, especially to the Jamal Murray went.
Speaker 3: But what do you think of you know, Dwight's performance
Speaker 3: pretty impressive after not playing, like Lee said, at all
Speaker 3: the last series.
Speaker 6: Yeah, he was ready and he had just an immense
Speaker 6: impact both from scoring rebounding. But like you're saying, Skeets,
Speaker 6: he drew five fouls in a quarter. That was pretty
Speaker 6: crazy and it definitely threw the Nuggets off their game,
Speaker 6: picking up a couple of cheap offensive fouls on Nikola
Speaker 6: Yokich and once he got that third, and then Murray
Speaker 6: eventually picked up his third, and then Paul Millsat picked
Speaker 6: up his third. You're like, uh, oh, this is a
Speaker 6: foul fest here. But I like Tessa saying the Lakers
Speaker 6: were the aggressor the entire night, which is why they
Speaker 6: were able to draw so many foul calls. And I
Speaker 6: thought that a lot of that was Dwight. He was
Speaker 6: throwing it back to nine. You know, the last time
Speaker 6: we saw the Lakers and the Nuggets in the Western
Speaker 6: Conference Finals, it was two thousand and nine. In between
Speaker 6: Dwight and Rondo, you could have convinced me that it
Speaker 6: was two thousand and nine.
Speaker 4: Again.
Speaker 6: They were awesome together, and it was just it was
Speaker 6: cool to see the Lakers making it a point to
Speaker 6: make Dwight feel wanted right, Like every time he would
Speaker 6: get mixed up with somebody on the offensive end or
Speaker 6: draw foul, it felt like the next time down they
Speaker 6: tried to get him an alley oop. And that's the
Speaker 6: way you keep a guy completely engaged in the game.
Speaker 6: Because he was having a huge impact after basically not
Speaker 6: playing during a playoff series. He comes out, has a
Speaker 6: great game won, and they just kept going to him
Speaker 6: and having him.
Speaker 4: Have an impact. I thought it was great.
Speaker 6: And now if you're the Nuggets, you gotta figure out
Speaker 6: a way to get Dwight Howard and JaVale McGee out
Speaker 6: of there so that Jokic can attack Ad. It's tough
Speaker 6: out there, man, Ad. How's this guy a top ten
Speaker 6: player in the league and All NBA first teamer and
Speaker 6: he's almost an X factor in this series because it's
Speaker 6: just a terrible matchup for the Nuggets. He's too tall
Speaker 6: and too quick for Paul Millsap and then he's just
Speaker 6: too quick period for Jokic. And when he's playing like
Speaker 6: he was last night, the Lakers are tough to be.
Speaker 3: Yeah, thirty seven points, ten boards for Ad task. We
Speaker 3: took us like ten minutes. Steven mention him here because
Speaker 3: he was having his way with all these guys. He
Speaker 3: scored on Jokic four for six, he scored on Millsap
Speaker 3: three for six, plumb lely when he got his chance,
Speaker 3: all right, two for three, you know, in less minutes. See,
Speaker 3: he lit them up. And that was always going to
Speaker 3: be an issue here in the series. I don't know
Speaker 3: really what the answer is for Denver to slow him
Speaker 3: down or stop them outside of him, just hoping he
Speaker 3: he misses his shots. But the guy's like six foot eleven,
Speaker 3: he's hitting step back baseline jumpers. I mean, it's going
Speaker 3: to be a long night, right.
Speaker 1: It was a quiet thirty seven. It's a lot quieter
Speaker 1: than that lawmore four point zero. I gotta say, there's.
Speaker 4: Not that much grass here. There's not. They just got
Speaker 4: to blow it around, man. They gotta blow around.
Speaker 3: They have a contract, right right. It's like, okay, well
Speaker 3: he's got this you know this building, these grounds to do. Well,
Speaker 3: how many hours we got ah, well you got like
Speaker 3: good four or five hours. Well we'll just blow around
Speaker 3: some leaves.
Speaker 4: Look busy. That's what they're doing out there.
Speaker 1: Get paid by the blow. That's the way it works
Speaker 1: out there. So they're chilling out there at a couple industries.
Speaker 4: That's how it works.
Speaker 1: Anthony Davis. It really they have no matchup. It's totally true.
Speaker 1: Paul Millsap, he's not only too small, but he's also
Speaker 1: a little agent's he's going to be a little too
Speaker 1: slow for a d even in his you know, he's
Speaker 1: way too old in his good years. Maybe he could
Speaker 1: stick in front of him. But Nicola Jokic also he's
Speaker 1: too slow. This is just a tough matchup. And yeah,
Speaker 1: we mentioned him here now, and I'm sure we'll mention
Speaker 1: him a little later on when Lebron was complaining that
Speaker 1: he didn't win m VP a little bit later on.
Speaker 1: You also have a guy in Anthony Davis who's going
Speaker 1: to be the leading scorer on this team, night in
Speaker 1: the night out until until Lebron has to turn it on.
Speaker 1: But this was a chill out game for Lebron James, really,
Speaker 1: he was just he was part of the sprint crew
Speaker 1: with the rest of the guys that were getting into
Speaker 1: the sprinting up and down the fast breaks, and they
Speaker 1: did a very good job of that. They knew what
Speaker 1: they wanted to do, turning the nuggets over. But really Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know if Aid is going to
Speaker 1: have a bad game. Yeah, you're right, Like, is he
Speaker 1: just going to miss peer? I guess there's a chance
Speaker 1: of that, but that's when Lebron will have to turn
Speaker 1: it on offensively. The guy is just a stud. He
Speaker 1: is an absolute stud. And he's wearing that really really
Speaker 1: thick headband. Yeah, it guess seems like it gets thicker
Speaker 1: by the series.
Speaker 4: Yeah for sure.
Speaker 1: But you know, we've talked about them banning uh the
Speaker 1: karate Kid headband in the bat in the in the past. Uh.
Speaker 1: They're also letting go like uh, Dion Waiters d n
Speaker 1: P with a with an injury. He had shorts on
Speaker 1: like a casual towel shorts like a yeah, and he
Speaker 1: was out there on the floor basically like they're letting
Speaker 1: guys get out on the floor, almost come out from
Speaker 1: behind the that little barrier thing. And and there's no text,
Speaker 1: which is cool, just cool. It feels like an AAU tournament.
Speaker 1: No one's getting upset, no one's calling these dumb texts,
Speaker 1: some dumb fowls on the floor, but they're letting some
Speaker 1: stuff go.
Speaker 3: This game, this game felt to me like a big
Speaker 3: brother just bully and his young smaller brother, you know,
Speaker 3: his younger brother in a game of pickup like it
Speaker 3: had that vibe to me where Lebron barrels over Jamal
Speaker 3: and yeah it might be a charge, but you know.
Speaker 4: Lebron's the big Bro's a get up.
Speaker 3: You know, he's like yelling ann One at him. You
Speaker 3: had Dwight swatten things out of bounds like they were.
Speaker 3: You know, these are a lot of vets on this team.
Speaker 3: On this Lakers team, of course, you know, together not
Speaker 3: a lot of experience, but they've been in a lot
Speaker 3: a lot of series and the Nuggets this is fairly
Speaker 3: new for these guys going this deep. It just had
Speaker 3: that feeling to me lee. And that's not to say
Speaker 3: the Nuggets are done. Hey, the Nuggets got the Lakers
Speaker 3: right where they want them. All right, they're down now
Speaker 3: now we can play. But yeah, I I don't think
Speaker 3: they're gonna win this series.
Speaker 4: I'll be honest.
Speaker 3: I know they're the comeback kids, but the Lakers are
Speaker 3: not messing around here. If Paul George is saying, well, actually,
Speaker 3: this year was not a championship or bus This season,
Speaker 3: it's a championship or bus season for Lebron every single year.
Speaker 3: That's the problem for the Nuggets right now. He knows
Speaker 3: we're not gonna take you lately, and I got to
Speaker 3: get to the finals again from my tenth time and
Speaker 3: have him dragging into the ring.
Speaker 4: But so what did you think that?
Speaker 7: Well, yeah, I mean when you look at the Lakers
Speaker 7: whole bubble experience, you know, they didn't do that much
Speaker 7: during those resumption games because they didn't have a lot
Speaker 7: to play for, and then they sort of started off
Speaker 7: slow against the Blazers. The Blazers fought them pretty well,
Speaker 7: and then in their last series as well, the Lakers
Speaker 7: started off slow against the Rockets and then so on
Speaker 7: a cruise. But now that it's winning time, it's like,
Speaker 7: right now it's time to up the ante. And that
Speaker 7: that's what I thought the message was last night. It
Speaker 7: was like, we, you know, now it's the time to
Speaker 7: start playing everyone as well as we can. So we're
Speaker 7: playing well if they make the finals, which they certainly
Speaker 7: look like they're on their way to it. But again
Speaker 7: I saw enough, you know, positive signs there for the
Speaker 7: Denver Nuggets. And this is this is not not not
Speaker 7: like a foregone conclusion that it's a sweep or anything
Speaker 7: like that. I certainly the Lakers are favored, and I
Speaker 7: picked the Nuggets to win in six. It's not looking
Speaker 7: all that right now. But again, I just think, you
Speaker 7: know what, Michael Porter Junior missed a couple of wide
Speaker 7: open looks there yesterday. Jeremy Grant missed a couple of
Speaker 7: wide open looks as well, and they had that foul trouble.
Speaker 7: And still I thought the Nuggets that ben I think
Speaker 7: it was Trey who sort of as said that earlier.
Speaker 5: They did hold their own. They're a little bit.
Speaker 7: There to close out that that second half. It wasn't
Speaker 7: a complete like disaster for Denver in the terms that like,
Speaker 7: they played just badly and were completely outplayed in every
Speaker 7: aspect they had. If those shots go down of Michael
Speaker 7: Porter Jr. And they need him to shoot and score,
Speaker 7: if he can hit a couple of those, and if
Speaker 7: Jeremy Grant can hit a couple of those, they stay
Speaker 7: out of foul trouble and Yokicic can have his imprint,
Speaker 7: then I think the Nuggets are going to put themselves
Speaker 7: in a better position to keep the game closer. Anyway,
Speaker 7: So you know, one game certainly a bad one, for
Speaker 7: Denver in terms of the final result. But the series
Speaker 7: I don't think is just a complete whitewash from here.
Speaker 3: Okay, fair enough, Yeah, your kitchen Murray were awesome in
Speaker 3: the first quarter. I mean they scored assisted on basically
Speaker 3: every bucket. And you're right, it had watching this game.
Speaker 3: What were the Lakers up at half eleven and it
Speaker 3: felt like they had just completely dominated the game, and
Speaker 3: you're like, eleven, that's it. Okay, Yeah, maybe the Nuggets
Speaker 3: were within striking distance and then you know, unfortunately for them,
Speaker 3: the Lakers blew that lead up to twenty and it
Speaker 3: was sort of over.
Speaker 4: But do you agree to lee here, like you know, okay,
Speaker 4: tough whistle.
Speaker 3: It's game one. Lakers are locked in. We got to
Speaker 3: figure out how to slow a d. But there's something
Speaker 3: here that you could see going, all right, they could
Speaker 3: make this still a series.
Speaker 1: I'm not that optimistic. The Nuggets bench and the Nuggets
Speaker 1: support guys. Yeah, they could hit a couple more shots,
Speaker 1: and they did a decent job at the end of
Speaker 1: the second quarter there. But I think it has to
Speaker 1: start with the big boys, with nikol Jokic having a
Speaker 1: good series, and I think one thing we underestimated. Now
Speaker 1: having watched the first game, I wonder how much of
Speaker 1: an impact he is going to have with his passing
Speaker 1: with all the big guys that they have on him,
Speaker 1: whether it's Javail or Dwight or Anthony Davis. He only
Speaker 1: had two assists in this game, even though you know
Speaker 1: he's that good that he can score it anyway, but
Speaker 1: at any time. But the passing lanes because they're not
Speaker 1: doubling number one and number two, because these dudes are big,
Speaker 1: he's not going to have the visibility I don't think
Speaker 1: to make all those passes. So if the Lakers are
Speaker 1: ready to play defense and stick with their guys that
Speaker 1: Jokic is going to pass to, I wonder how much
Speaker 1: yok is gonna have an impact passing the ball. And
Speaker 1: that's that's a huge factor for me. Yeah, So that's
Speaker 1: that's one thing I think we we sort of skipped
Speaker 1: out on it. And I don't know how much Dwight
Speaker 1: Howard is gonna have an impact going forward, but you
Speaker 1: know he's ready to play. I think this bubble obviously
Speaker 1: it tends to suit older dudes as well because they
Speaker 1: don't have to travel because you know, Rondo's legs are there,
Speaker 1: Dwight Howard's legs are that's all apparent. And there's a
Speaker 1: sense of urgency with this Lakers team that Dwight wants
Speaker 1: to get his first championship. Rondo and all these oldies
Speaker 1: they know what it takes to play in playoff ball here.
Speaker 1: They know that they have limited opportunities and they're they're
Speaker 1: taking advantage of it. And I just you know, up
Speaker 1: against these young ns, I feel like they have that
Speaker 1: advantage that they're just they've been the best team since
Speaker 1: the beginning of the season. So if you're going to
Speaker 1: get good minutes from complimentary players, yeah, you're you're done
Speaker 1: for For For me, if if the Lakers are going
Speaker 1: to go top to bottom like this, and I wonder
Speaker 1: if they start Dwight Howard in Game two, because they
Speaker 1: started him in the second half and that might limit
Speaker 1: his his contributions. You don't start Rondo because he's not
Speaker 1: going to play forty minutes. You can't get great contributions.
Speaker 1: And I think the same goes for Dwight. You're not
Speaker 1: gonna get great contributions for a full game. I wonder
Speaker 1: if that if he's a if he's a less effective player,
Speaker 1: if he starts the second game and plays against Jokic,
Speaker 1: who could who could solve him? Because he's that good.
Speaker 1: So that's that's one thing I'm looking forward to is
Speaker 1: do they start Javail again because he was fine in
Speaker 1: his minutes, even though you know it doesn't score any Yep, yeah,
Speaker 1: he's he's a hustler.
Speaker 3: But I think I think Voge will be crazy enough
Speaker 3: to at least go with that again in Game two
Speaker 3: for sure.
Speaker 6: Sure, same exact strategy, because if the Lakers play like this,
Speaker 6: this is going to be a short series. They won't
Speaker 6: play like this every single game, and I honestly don't
Speaker 6: think the Nuggets will either. They got smoked by the Clippers.
Speaker 6: Draymond was just trashing Jokic for his defense during halftime
Speaker 6: of that game, and then they were better, and I
Speaker 6: think there are a lot of places they can improve.
Speaker 4: Michael Porter Junior kind of think he should get more minutes.
Speaker 6: He'll get picked on, no doubt about it, but they
Speaker 6: just need somebody else out there who's very tall. I
Speaker 6: think that you know the fact that he's six' ten
Speaker 6: is gonna help he hits the glass and that could be.
Speaker 6: Huge just maybe make a three, pointer AND i think
Speaker 6: that the The nuggets need to do a better job
Speaker 6: of getting the getting some switches For, yokics, Right, like
Speaker 6: there are only a handful of times they would run
Speaker 6: the sort of pick and roll that would get him
Speaker 6: a touch With caruso guarding, him and then they would
Speaker 6: have a bat, cut but they couldn't finish because, then
Speaker 6: of Course Anthony davis is just. Lurking but whatever they
Speaker 6: can do to make it so that The lakers are
Speaker 6: worried About, jokic you, know like he's still gonna, Score
Speaker 6: he's still gonna make, plays scoring against big, guys but
Speaker 6: the team is at their best when he's able to
Speaker 6: draw a couple extra. Eyes so there are definitely. Improvements you,
Speaker 6: Know Markith morris almost got into it With paul millsap
Speaker 6: it didn't, Happen SO i don't know If paul's gonna
Speaker 6: maybe seek out a confrontation that would be another advantage
Speaker 6: for The. Nuggets BUT i don't think it's. Over but
Speaker 6: this was about as good as The lakers could. Play
Speaker 6: they looked, Incredible they looked so, Physical the defense looked
Speaker 6: great that you didn't even have to really worry about
Speaker 6: offense just because you knew they were gonna hold The
Speaker 6: nuggets a few enough points that The lakers had.
Speaker 3: Enough, yeah and The nuggets did not do themselves any
Speaker 3: favors by throwing the ball, away like like we talked,
Speaker 3: about not hitting shots that they've been known to. Hit,
Speaker 3: yeah this was a rough. Game, look if you're gonna
Speaker 3: lose game, one lose it in a. BLOWOUT i, Say,
Speaker 3: lee don't lose at the buzzer and lose it a
Speaker 3: blowoute embarrassed. Them you, Know Mike malone could be even
Speaker 3: more angry or inspire you even more for A game,
Speaker 3: two and we'll see what type of effort we get
Speaker 3: from The. Nuggets hopefully it'll be a lot closer, game
Speaker 3: because this Was it was a bit of a dud
Speaker 3: as we got into the second half and The lakers
Speaker 3: blew it home AND i was, like all, Right i'm
Speaker 3: checking out pretty hard.
Speaker 4: Here in this. One it was tough to stay.
Speaker 3: FOCUSED i was hoping for a for A morris millsap,
Speaker 3: something some sort of mix up to give it a little,
Speaker 3: blood because it was a little chippy there too in
Speaker 3: the first, half right when those you, Know nuggets frustrated
Speaker 3: with the. Whistle of, Course lakers bullying them a little.
Speaker 3: BIT i was, like, oh we might get some explosives,
Speaker 3: here and it didn't happen really in game, one but will,
Speaker 3: that you, know as the series goes, on will somebody
Speaker 3: have enough of A morris or something like? That and
Speaker 3: who knows maybe, yeah like Maybe Marcus morris will be
Speaker 3: playing in game two really For marquith because we don't
Speaker 3: we have no idea who truly knows those identical twins
Speaker 3: what they're up to in the.
Speaker 4: Bubble so we'll.
Speaker 3: See anything else from this. One, unfortunately not a ton
Speaker 3: to really break. Down, yeah just a Great lakers, performance

Speaker 3: a couple. Questions first, One, Hey Flow, Monks, well listening
Speaker 3: to your podcast On, THURSDAY i heard there was some
Speaker 3: confusion regarding the name Of Jimmy Butler's Big face coffee,
Speaker 3: brand AND i wanted to clear things. UP i believe
Speaker 3: the Big face is in reference to a big watch
Speaker 3: face that you would see on a luxury. Wristwatch this
Speaker 3: aligns with his twenty dollars a cup price, model Making
Speaker 3: jimmy's brew one of the finer things in, life just
Speaker 3: like a big.
Speaker 4: Face.
Speaker 3: ROLEX i learned this from the lyrics of JAY z
Speaker 3: And kanye's hit Song otis from their Acclaimed watch The throne. Album,
Speaker 3: okay my question is have you ever learned something from
Speaker 3: song lyrics that you had really no business?
Speaker 4: Knowing?
Speaker 3: Otherwise John, Boat stonecutters Aj soprano turn. Up that's From
Speaker 3: blake In. Kitchener, so, yeah we were trying to figure

Speaker 3: The face. Coffee, Yeah, friday, right?
Speaker 4: Weird what's going on?
Speaker 8: Here?
Speaker 3: Blake BUT i guess that's what it maybe stands. FOR i,
Speaker 3: mean we were trying to figure it. Out Rude dog
Speaker 3: told us something. Different Rude dog's that it was like
Speaker 3: a big face, hundred which fair. Enough but it's been
Speaker 3: a while since they have redesigned one hundred dollars bill
Speaker 3: saying for the twenty dollars, bill which is What Jimmy
Speaker 3: butler is. Charging, nonetheless big face, bills big face role.
Speaker 4: Acts we Know Dave.
Speaker 6: Grisham loves a gigantic. Watch big face just means. Luxury
Speaker 6: i'm willing to say it means luxury if you, Okay
Speaker 6: and twenty dollars for a cup of.
Speaker 4: Coffee this is premium.
Speaker 3: Stuff, okay so we're sort of, basically we're all probably.
Speaker 3: Right so that's a big face means the finer.
Speaker 6: Thing baller, style ball, Style baller style coffee also a
Speaker 6: good name for a coffee, shopping very very.
Speaker 1: Good.

Speaker 4: Great.
Speaker 7: Now i'd heard of the band Like ladies they made
Speaker 7: it To, australia but this was like a, real real
Speaker 7: big banger for.
Speaker 1: Me so what about The Old. Apartment that must have
Speaker 1: been the time when you got our fine country Of.
Speaker 1: Canada welcome to The Old. Apartment, yeah you.
Speaker 7: KNOW i saw them In london actually at The Hammersmith.
Speaker 7: Apolo it was one of the best shows To it
Speaker 7: was Great bacon.
Speaker 4: And you've seen every artist ever. Performed i'm.
Speaker 8: Convinced, yeah send me that picture of you in front Of.
Speaker 8: HAMMERSMITH i can get it.
Speaker 1: Out.
Speaker 7: YEAH i think that's a. Problem this was before we
Speaker 7: had like cell phones. Everywhere you, know you have to
Speaker 7: take your, big clunky old camera out if you wanted
Speaker 7: to take a, photo and.
Speaker 1: Come, on you had to ruin those pockets to carry a. Camera.
Speaker 7: Yeah, well you, KNOW i had My Canon, digital but
Speaker 7: it was like you had the little memory stick that
Speaker 7: had like one hundred Photos max on it and you'd
Speaker 7: fill that up so, quickly and then you had to
Speaker 7: go to The kodak shop to download, it to put
Speaker 7: it onto a. Disc then you could only erase those
Speaker 7: photos and yeah it WAS i.
Speaker 4: Mean only only if you had a million.
Speaker 7: Dollars, ah what a, Time what a. Time this was
Speaker 7: twenty years, Ago like, wow it feels like it was
Speaker 7: about a thousand years ago when you sort of describe
Speaker 7: things like, that like there's A kodak shop down on.
Speaker 5: Well it's On.
Speaker 7: PUNTS i think it's On punts dealer on here in In.
Speaker 7: Atlanta it looks, like, yeah it looks like it's been
Speaker 7: out of business for like fifty.
Speaker 3: Years but that IS i don't think that's an abandon
Speaker 3: building on an actual.
Speaker 4: Code on the, SHOW i know you're talking. About, yeah
Speaker 4: you're talking.
Speaker 1: About all, right next. Question here we. Go unless you
Speaker 1: guys have anything to add, There, no, okay what's? Good no.
Speaker 1: Dunks seeing The bucks go out this year with yet
Speaker 1: another flawed playoff performance from the not so Effective Eric
Speaker 1: Bled show proved to me just how tight a championship
Speaker 1: window can. Be in my, opinion signing his extension and
Speaker 1: Letting Malcolm brognan walk may have prevented what could have
Speaker 1: been a title In. Milwaukee it reminded me of when
Speaker 1: The rockets Let Trevor ariza. Go he was the heart
Speaker 1: and soul That houston, team not to mention his versatility
Speaker 1: on both sides of the, ball which may have made
Speaker 1: the difference when they're up three to two against The
Speaker 1: warriors in twenty. Eighteen can you guys think of any
Speaker 1: other instances a less substantial player was let go or
Speaker 1: traded away from a championship worthy squad which could have
Speaker 1: been a POTENTIAL x. Factor been a big fan since
Speaker 1: my old apartment by the Bar Naked, Ladies i've been
Speaker 1: a big fan since twenty. Thirteen thank you for welcoming
Speaker 1: me into the beautiful GAME i now love so. Much
Speaker 1: that's From jay stuw In london who was at THAT bnl.
Speaker 1: Concert ps it still Beans boston in seven. Seven all,
Speaker 1: Right i'll get it started. Here it's A i'm gonna
Speaker 1: cheat because it's. Not it's not a less substantial player
Speaker 1: because this guy has now won AN. Mvp but back
Speaker 1: then with THE Okc, Thunder James harden was coming off the.
Speaker 1: Bench they go to the, finals AND i know it's
Speaker 1: been said and, done it's all been. Said but but
Speaker 1: the more you look back At James harden being traded
Speaker 1: right after they go to the. Finals it's astonishing that
Speaker 1: those three, dudes And katie And Russell westbrook along With,
Speaker 1: surge what they could have done the four of them.
Speaker 1: Together SO i assume that that's championship in the next
Speaker 1: couple of years If James harden is. THERE i Know
Speaker 1: James harden doesn't grow into the player that he is.
Speaker 1: Today if he's playing Behind katie And russ doesn't. Matter
Speaker 1: those three, Guys, yeah they'd be good enough In Sam.
Speaker 1: Presti as much as we love the man and what
Speaker 1: he's done with The Okac thunder the last few, YEARS
Speaker 1: i don't know if it'll ever equate to what happened.
Speaker 1: THERE i, mean, it's you, know two different. Things but that's.
Speaker 7: Something, yeah that was the contract dispute though. Too it
Speaker 7: wasn't like. Ownership weren't prepared to go into the luxury.
Speaker 3: Texts it was a big serge Of baca Or James harden, dilemma,
Speaker 3: right that was. Y, yeah it was.
Speaker 1: Money so, yeah we can TELL i shouldn't put it
Speaker 1: all On Sam. Presty it's definitely ownership With, okay, see,
Speaker 1: OKAY i take that.
Speaker 4: BACK i take That, okay so what do you got?
Speaker 6: Trade you got an answer for, this, WELL i had
Speaker 6: a couple of whack, answers to be, honestly you, know
Speaker 6: fits in with the weed. Whackers i'm, thinking, like you,
Speaker 6: know When Chris paul signed his, deal he signed with
Speaker 6: The clippers to be traded to The, rockets and then
Speaker 6: he got hurt For game seven against The, warriors and it's,
Speaker 6: like it would have been nice if they Had Montrez
Speaker 6: harrell And Lou williams And Patrick beverly still, around you,
Speaker 6: know if they would have been able to just Sign
Speaker 6: Chris paul rather than do the sign and trade because
Speaker 6: he wanted to hook The clippers up a little. Bit
Speaker 6: the same sort of thing happened With mellow when he
Speaker 6: was traded to The. Knicks could have just waited until the,
Speaker 6: summer then you would have still had supporting pieces Like
Speaker 6: Ray felton And Wilson chandler. Around but the Best Sugg
Speaker 6: Justin i've seen has actually come from just a nonsense
Speaker 6: number in the YouTube chat who was saying The Dallas
Speaker 6: mavericks choosing not to re Sign Tyson chandler after they
Speaker 6: won the, championship they were AN ok. Team the next
Speaker 6: year was the lockout. Season they went thirty six and
Speaker 6: thirty did make it to the, playoffs they lost in
Speaker 6: the first, round and it was kind of like it
Speaker 6: really felt Like Mark cuban was just deciding not to
Speaker 6: defend the title because he was worried about luxury techs
Speaker 6: repeating stuff coming eventually down the. Line so, yeah, basically
Speaker 6: when your favorite team lets a player go who would
Speaker 6: be instrumental to their chances of winning the, title it's
Speaker 6: usually cars of.
Speaker 1: Money.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah has he regretting.
Speaker 3: THAT i know he's regretted The Steven ash, decision BUT
Speaker 3: i think he has, said you, know de deserved to
Speaker 3: bring the band back together and see if you can
Speaker 3: defend defend the, title which you.
Speaker 4: Should you should always get a. Chance, okay that's that's
Speaker 4: a good.
Speaker 7: One you Gotta chandler was my answer there, too BECAUSE
Speaker 7: i think he went on to become An All star
Speaker 7: And Defensive player of The year after he Left, dallas
Speaker 7: so he showed he was still good. Enough it wasn't
Speaker 7: as THOUGH i had anything to do with his. Age and,
Speaker 7: yeah The mavericks desperately needed his defensive presence there when
Speaker 7: they were, defending and without him they were, Lost so,
Speaker 7: yeah that was a big blow and that that kind
Speaker 7: OF i think as, well you, know when You're, dirk it's, like,
Speaker 7: well we won the, championship and then their ownership was
Speaker 7: kind of, like all, right we've won our. Championship now
Speaker 7: we're trying to make sure we don't have to pay
Speaker 7: extra money for maybe not winning. It AND i think
Speaker 7: that was the bad mistake because they never really recovered
Speaker 7: Until luca came.
Speaker 1: Along.
Speaker 7: DALLAS i know they made the playoffs a couple of,
Speaker 7: times BUT i don't think they want a series after
Speaker 7: that until this.
Speaker 3: SEASON i don't really have a good answer for, this
Speaker 3: BUT i wanted to go to the email. Test do
Speaker 3: you believe What stu said From? London, like are The
Speaker 3: bucks still playing right now If Malcolm brogden is there
Speaker 3: instead Of Eric? Blodsoe are The bucks chances winning a
Speaker 3: title you know happening in a twenty twenty bubble here
Speaker 3: with him if they, made you, know the decision to
Speaker 3: keep him or even just in the mix, too because
Speaker 3: they could have obviously if ownership also wanted to pony
Speaker 3: up some. Money what do you think about? That CAUSE
Speaker 3: i don't really HOW i feel about. That that take on.
Speaker 1: That so a lot Of Malcolm brogden stands out there
Speaker 1: AND i am sort OF i am in that, camp
Speaker 1: and THAT i believe that he has got more to
Speaker 1: offer than he's shown in THE, nba even he's shown
Speaker 1: a decent amount And rookie of The year and all,
Speaker 1: that but as far as playoff performances, GO i think
Speaker 1: there's a tiny other level AND i don't think it's
Speaker 1: an accurate statement to make only because of the Way
Speaker 1: Mike budenholzer. COACHES i don't think the Brog dog would
Speaker 1: have had enough opportunity with The bucks and the way
Speaker 1: they focus everything On yannis And Chris milton kind of got,
Speaker 1: free let loose from those shackles When giannis went out
Speaker 1: and you saw that in the second round with The Miami.
Speaker 1: Heat but it took an injury to allow another guy
Speaker 1: to make things. Happen SO i think that that's a
Speaker 1: problem when you evaluate The bucks like, that and that's
Speaker 1: something that's going to be really interesting going forward and
Speaker 1: Hearing giannis and his statements after going home from the
Speaker 1: bubble commenting, that, Yeah i'm A buck for, life but
Speaker 1: they know that they've got to, essentially you, Know i'm summarizing,
Speaker 1: here they've they've got to do some things to make
Speaker 1: us a championship. Team and he hasn't said anything about the,
Speaker 1: coach BUT i would think that that's part of. IT
Speaker 1: i don't think you get the most out of Even
Speaker 1: Chris middleton Or Malcolm brognen with with the Way bud.
Speaker 1: Coaches BUT i wanted to say this about the email
Speaker 1: BECAUSE i fact checked just. Now Trevor reza was there
Speaker 1: for the twenty eighteen series where they lost to The
Speaker 1: warriors after being up three, too so he Didn't he
Speaker 1: didn't make a difference in that. One he was gone
Speaker 1: for the next, year last, year which was you, know
Speaker 1: the four to two went from The warriors AFTER kd
Speaker 1: went down and they still couldn't. Win but, Yeah resa
Speaker 1: couldn't do. It resa couldn't do it that year. Either
Speaker 1: SO i think sometimes we it's more about the team
Speaker 1: than it is about some of these particular, guys and
Speaker 1: The rockets just couldn't get it done in The bucks
Speaker 1: just couldn't get it. Done.
Speaker 4: Well we appreciate the, questions, nonetheless even if we should
Speaker 4: have fact checked it.

Speaker 1: Night tweet out the. Night. Wow, well When lebron, speaks
Speaker 1: we all must, listen so he spoke in his postgame
Speaker 1: press conference after the win against The Denver. Nuggets also
Speaker 1: coming After jannistetompo being awarded The Most Valuable player for
Speaker 1: the second year in a, row and he tweeted initially
Speaker 1: before the press, conference sixteen out of one hundred and one, Votes, okay,
Speaker 1: COOL i got, y'all Bro, cool Feisty. Brown the man
Speaker 1: wants some. Votes. Listen we talked About jannis winning it,
Speaker 1: yesterday very. Briefly that was On Friday, show, RIGHT i
Speaker 1: know they all blur, TOGETHER i think. So, Yeah so
Speaker 1: we talked about it very. Briefly we all, said we
Speaker 1: don't want to talk about, this we don't want to
Speaker 1: go into great. Detail but when The king, speaks we
Speaker 1: got to talk about.
Speaker 3: It.
Speaker 1: Unfortunately so after the, game this Is Ben golliver doing
Speaker 1: a little transcribing FOR Us Lakers Lebron james with a
Speaker 1: long riff On awards voting after finishing second for twenty TWENTY.
Speaker 1: Mvp the voting skill is a little weird to. ME
Speaker 1: i don't know how much really we're watching the game of,
Speaker 1: basketball or it's the. NARRATIVE i would say the narrative
Speaker 1: Helped Lebron james this way.
Speaker 4: Exactly this is Where lebron is, wrong help.
Speaker 1: Them get those limited. Amounts, now just look at the, season,
Speaker 1: like we can talk about awards and all, that but
Speaker 1: the season Was yannis's. Season that is that? Correct AM i?
Speaker 1: Correct and saying that the fact That lebron has the
Speaker 1: ability to go to the postgame press conference here While
Speaker 1: jannis is at home gives him all the power in
Speaker 1: the world to say whatever he wants it and gives
Speaker 1: his his his argument here a bunch more legitimacy that's
Speaker 1: not really legitimate at. All it just it, adds obviously
Speaker 1: some fuel to his argument Because janis ain't there And
Speaker 1: jannis hasn't won in the, past so we're sitting here
Speaker 1: in the playoffs When lebron is obviously sitting on three.
Speaker 1: Titles it's it's almost, like, yeah you can get into
Speaker 1: an argument about who's the best player, now but it's
Speaker 1: a regular season. Award and the narrative definitely did help.
Speaker 1: Him and you WATCH i Mentioned Anthony davis score thirty.
Speaker 1: Seven he doesn't have to be What janis is every
Speaker 1: night because he's got AN mvp candidate right beside, Him,
Speaker 1: Well jannis. Doesn't lebron used to Be.
Speaker 4: Yannis this is the hilarious.
Speaker 3: Part he was a back to BACK mvp winner on
Speaker 3: the best regular season team that flamed out in the
Speaker 3: playoffs way too.
Speaker 1: Early that Was.
Speaker 3: Lebron he was doing. That that's What jannis is. Doing it's,
Speaker 3: OKAY i Love lebron pissed.
Speaker 4: Off it's.
Speaker 3: Hilarious it always. Is but the narrative part that he starts, Adding,
Speaker 3: no the narrative helped, you my, man and that's. Fine
Speaker 3: people sometimes sort of focus on that with THEIR. Mvp
Speaker 3: it's a part of. It But jiannis was the best
Speaker 3: player statistically on the best, team you, know win loss.
Speaker 3: WISE i, mean it's like sort of a no brainer
Speaker 3: that he won. IT i just want to, Know Like
Speaker 3: lebron's pointing out the sixteen first place, votes what would
Speaker 3: have pleased, him what's the number out of the one
Speaker 3: hundred and one that he would have, Been, like, okay that's,
Speaker 3: fair you, know sixty one to forty feels. Right congratulations
Speaker 3: to me, On, Like i'm just fascinated by. That like
Speaker 3: it feels like he just thinks that was too, LOW i,
Speaker 3: guess and that he didn't get enough first place. Votes
Speaker 3: Maybe i'm reaching, here but, YEAH i love, this and
Speaker 3: we got to point Out lebron said all, this like
Speaker 3: he's pissed. Off those are the headlines about THE mvp
Speaker 3: come and runner. Up but then at the end of it,
Speaker 3: ALL i watched the whole, clip you, Know he's, like,
Speaker 3: LOOK i ain't.
Speaker 4: Mad i'm not really that. Mad i'm gonna go. Back
Speaker 4: we're In game one of The Western Conference. Finals we just.
Speaker 4: Won i'm gonna go have some.
Speaker 3: Wine i'm gonna, Sleep, okay Everybody rea basically, like everybody.
Speaker 3: RELAX i KNOW i just said WHAT i, said but
Speaker 3: everybody just. Relax so he just he's just pointing, out, like,
Speaker 3: Hey I'M i am the best player in the, league
Speaker 3: AND i know. IT i think a lot of you
Speaker 3: still know. It but THE mvp sort of does mean
Speaker 3: something else is what we're at, here and.
Speaker 4: So, honestly to, me That's lebron's.
Speaker 6: Fault that's one hundred Percent lebron's fault that despite the
Speaker 6: fact that most people would agree he's the best player
Speaker 6: in the, league maybe you would argue it Was Kawhi
Speaker 6: leonard before this. Playoffs he doesn't care about the regular
Speaker 6: season as much as he cares about the. Playoffs twenty years,
Speaker 6: ago you were trying to win every regular season. Game
Speaker 6: so the best player in the league often took home THE.
Speaker 6: Mvp even then it didn't happen a. Lot SO i
Speaker 6: don't know of. ANYTHING i just feel bad for The
Speaker 6: nuggets that this is happening during their, series, right because
Speaker 6: this is The Michael jordan's stuff where you just find
Speaker 6: a slight that's not really a, slight Like. Lebron if
Speaker 6: this was one hundred percent about, narrative a guy in
Speaker 6: his seventeenth season leading the league in assists for the
Speaker 6: first time in his, career you would have won unanimously
Speaker 6: if it was one hundred percent. Narrative so he's just
Speaker 6: finding something to be mad. About he was bringing up
Speaker 6: twenty twelve how he could have Won Defensive player of
Speaker 6: The year AND mvp the same. Season he was bringing
Speaker 6: Up Mark Gasol's Defensive player of The year, Vote DeVante.
Speaker 4: Graham this guy was.
Speaker 6: Ready it became personal To, lebron and unfortunately for The
Speaker 6: nuggets it's against them this. Series it's not dissimilar to
Speaker 6: me To David, Robinson Hiquim. Elijahwan you, Know david getting
Speaker 6: THE mvp rate before the game and Then elijah one
Speaker 6: just going out there and destroying. Him the difference is,
Speaker 6: that uh, oh now you're playing against The.
Speaker 4: Nuggets now you have to deal With. Lebron that.
Speaker 7: Sucks, yeah, yeah what do you, Think, Len, YEAH i
Speaker 7: think a lot of the noise About lebron BEING mvp
Speaker 7: just came out Of Los angeles an understandably, SO i,
Speaker 7: mean they're around him all the time and the. Season
Speaker 7: this season was a bit of a crazy, one of,
Speaker 7: course with everything that went, on but there was no
Speaker 7: real question that collectively across the entire basketball world That
Speaker 7: yannis was not THE mvp this. Year he was by
Speaker 7: far THE. Mvp he was incredible all season long on
Speaker 7: both ends of the, floor had his team in a strong,
Speaker 7: position and he was just doing absolutely. Everything So, lebron
Speaker 7: we don't need to say how Great lebron. Is we
Speaker 7: all know how great he, was he is and, What
Speaker 7: but he was not THE mvp this. Season that Was
Speaker 7: yannis by a long. Way AND i think everything else
Speaker 7: you guys are saying is right that the narrative was
Speaker 7: actually helping Out lebron this. Season but he also should
Speaker 7: not from in the. Past you, know he should have
Speaker 7: been A NANIM'S mvp one time and he wasn't because
Speaker 7: sometimes that's the way the voting. Goes someone throws out
Speaker 7: a crazy, vote AND i think this year there was
Speaker 7: sixteen of those votes that ultimately people were, LIKE i
Speaker 7: Think lebron has been the best, player but clearly the
Speaker 7: rest of the basketball world Saw yannis and what he
Speaker 7: did for the entire. Season, lebron, remember he had his
Speaker 7: best run from around sort of Mid january till the
Speaker 7: sort of season shut. Down prior to, that he was,
Speaker 7: good but he certainly wasn't. Great he wasn't really in
Speaker 7: the conversation FOR mvp up until that. Point SO i
Speaker 7: Think lebron's. Upset he's won four four, times he's been
Speaker 7: the runner UP mvp four, times he's won, it AND
Speaker 7: i think he's just, LIKE i want to be six
Speaker 7: and two, minimum you, know and he should have. Been you,
Speaker 7: know we had that show, earlier that earlier WHERE i
Speaker 7: THINK i Gave lebron eleven should have BEEN. MVPs i
Speaker 7: think it was now this, year he wouldn't have won MV,
Speaker 7: pe would have Been, YARNIS i, think you, know ALTHOUGH
Speaker 7: i did take into the account the whole, season so
Speaker 7: Maybe lebron could have pulled off his twelfth. Anyway but
Speaker 7: that's always a, thing you, Know it's like what would
Speaker 7: you rather be the m V p And yannis at
Speaker 7: home right, now or would you rather not Be lebron
Speaker 7: and potentially a. CHAMPION i think there's no question you'd
Speaker 7: rather Be lebron's position at the.
Speaker 3: Moment, yeah that's what some people are, saying, like why
Speaker 3: are you even worried about?
Speaker 1: This?
Speaker 3: Man, like, yeah you're playing for another. Title the titles are.
Speaker 3: There what's going to get you maybe over you, know
Speaker 3: catching THE mj. Ghost it's not going to really be.
Speaker 3: This but, yeah but he also Said.
Speaker 5: Ron one thing he said was.
Speaker 7: Funny he, SAID i WHEN i came into this, GAME
Speaker 7: i didn't want to BE i didn't play to become
Speaker 7: M vp or.
Speaker 5: Champion what are you talking? About run?
Speaker 4: In but that's.
Speaker 5: Fine that's what you.
Speaker 7: Know every single player who makes THE nba wants to
Speaker 7: be a champion and thinks they can win M.
Speaker 5: Vp Everybody Joey graham.
Speaker 7: Thought he was the most versatile player in the league
Speaker 7: when he Played.
Speaker 4: Joey graham catching.
Speaker 7: BULLET i just REMEMBER i remember seeing him one, time
Speaker 7: just said. That he, said because his minutes were caught
Speaker 7: and he was a bit frush and he, said, Listen
Speaker 7: i'm the most viasatile player in the.
Speaker 1: League, OKAY i, mean.
Speaker 7: You got, it but you gotta have that crazy belief
Speaker 7: you're gonna make it to THE.
Speaker 1: Nba so who's this is like A Morris brothers. Situation
Speaker 1: but who's on AN nba bench right? Now is It
Speaker 1: Joey graham Or Steven? Graham because there's there's one of
Speaker 1: those guys who basically look identical is on a is
Speaker 1: on A NUGG i think of The nuggets. Bench, No,
Speaker 1: no somebody's, Bench, Yeahotte charlotte.
Speaker 4: Use somebody used to one of The graham's used to
Speaker 4: play For charlotte for.
Speaker 5: Sure, Yeah, Steven.
Speaker 1: But you brought UP i just want to end on.
Speaker 1: THIS i just wanted to get you guys riled up
Speaker 1: as much as, possible and it. Works you bring up
Speaker 1: THE mvp. Talk you don't want to talk about it,
Speaker 1: first but as soon as you're interjected the CONVERSATION i wanted.
Speaker 3: TO i definitely want to talk About, lebron but there
Speaker 3: wasn't much to say About yannis WINNING mvp on yesterday's
Speaker 3: show when the breaking news, broke it was, like, yeah.
Speaker 3: DUH i, mean, guys like one defensive player of the,
Speaker 3: air he's like a thirty and fifteen guy on the
Speaker 3: best team in the regular.
Speaker 4: Season this is the. Problem give the award out when
Speaker 4: the regular season. Ends.
Speaker 3: NOW i know this was a weird year because the
Speaker 3: pandemic and the break and all, that but, like this
Speaker 3: is what. Happens it goes into the playoffs and then everyone's, like,
Speaker 3: wow he's not even. There he's not AN. Mvp that's
Speaker 3: not what it's. FOR i, mean it isn't it's for
Speaker 3: the regular. Seasons so we should do it.
Speaker 4: Like in a normal, year in my, Opinion april fourteenth or,
Speaker 4: whatever when the season, ends hand out all the awards
Speaker 4: because that's what they're. For but they you, know THE
Speaker 4: nba wants this, anyway so they.
Speaker 1: DO i did want to bring up something That trey,
Speaker 1: said just to reiterate Because lebron was playing some revisionist
Speaker 1: history here when he was going back with The Defensive
Speaker 1: player of The. Year bring up, yeah so he, said,
Speaker 1: QUOTE i had a chance to Be Defensive player of
Speaker 1: The year and ALSO mvp in the same. Season in that,
Speaker 1: Year Mark gasol was Rewarded Defensive player of The, year
Speaker 1: but he made second Team All. Defense right right, now
Speaker 1: let's get some facts. Straight he's, right but second team
Speaker 1: all defenses or all defensive teams are voted by the. Coaches, yeah,
Speaker 1: well Defensive player of The year is voted by the.
Speaker 1: Media so far, voters you know you're gonna get different.
Speaker 1: Results that makes. Sense and, Uh marcosol was good on.
Speaker 1: Defense he was very good on. Defense BUT i just
Speaker 1: like the fact that HE'S i don't, know he got
Speaker 1: a mic in front of, him and he just he
Speaker 1: needed some uh had some things to. Say, yeah, YEAH
Speaker 1: i guess he hadn't had a mic in a while
Speaker 1: in his face because he got a week. Off you
Speaker 1: don't have, practices so it's very different playoffs in terms
Speaker 1: of words spoken by these. Players so he had he had,
Speaker 1: Enough he had enough built up there to just fire.
Speaker 1: Off but we got other things to talk about it,
Speaker 1: YOU rbg passed, away our rights could be changed for
Speaker 1: the next year is several, Decades lebron throw some of
Speaker 1: that stuff out there when you get upon the, mic
Speaker 1: our rip TO, Rbg my goodness. Gracious so, Yeah lebron,
Speaker 1: was he was, firing and everybody obviously.
Speaker 3: LISTENS i think he is actually more upset in him
Speaker 3: bringing that. UP i think that peeves him off more
Speaker 3: than Joannest WIN mvp this. Year it's the fact That
Speaker 3: jannis did the. Double he did the mj he did
Speaker 3: The Elijah One Defensive player of The year and THE
Speaker 3: mvp in the same, season and he doesn't have that
Speaker 3: and probably will never have that now in his.
Speaker 4: CAREER i think that marks him a little, bit you,
Speaker 4: KNOW i.
Speaker 3: Do and he maybe had a case that, year, right
Speaker 3: obviously was in the mix and stuff like. That, yeah
Speaker 3: he was trying because he was like that was one
Speaker 3: of his sort of like, goals Like i'm gonna go
Speaker 3: get that as. Well that to, me he's really. No
Speaker 3: not With, jannis just like with the people that vote on,
Speaker 3: everything pisses him off that he doesn't have one of
Speaker 3: those the little bet the dual year there where you
Speaker 3: GO DPO y AND.
Speaker 4: Mvp that's Clearly lebron is a.
Speaker 6: Historian he remembers all of these slights and he KNOWS
Speaker 6: i got four, MVPs Michael jordan has. Five Michael jordan
Speaker 6: also has A Defensive player of The year and six.
Speaker 6: Championships how AM i going to catch this? Guy, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 6: Right i'm thirty five years.
Speaker 4: Old give me my. Flowers i'm trying to get ANOTHER mvp.
Speaker 3: Here, yeah, yeah we should point out Too jannis in
Speaker 3: winning his SECOND, mvp did he not Do he doubled
Speaker 3: down on what happened last year when he, said don't
Speaker 3: call ME, mvp okay UNTIL i win a. CHAMPIONSHIP i
Speaker 3: think he said this. Again he's Now i'm a two TIME.
Speaker 3: Mvp don't call me. THAT i don't want to be

Speaker 5: Funny that Was that was very.

Speaker 3: The celtics up to all these games were both so so.
Speaker 3: Closely what's one thing to watch for here In game?
Speaker 7: Three, WELL i think if you look at The, celtics
Speaker 7: the teams that have beaten them, recently The raptors and The,
Speaker 7: heat now they've basically thrown either a box and one
Speaker 7: defense to try to get Into Kemba walker's, face or
Speaker 7: they're just thrown the zone at. Them and The celtics
Speaker 7: have struggled to handle both of. Those and SO i
Speaker 7: Expect Brad stevens has been working on that the last
Speaker 7: day or, so And i'm going to be expecting to
Speaker 7: see his zone from The heat and he's going to
Speaker 7: have to figure out a way to beat. That AND
Speaker 7: i think you beat that by moving that ball around
Speaker 7: and getting some, cutters going to try to open up
Speaker 7: the lane and open up some clean. Looks so that's
Speaker 7: WHAT i expect the adjustment will be from The celtics is,
Speaker 7: like listen that we have a bit of a weakness
Speaker 7: here with these defenses that are not man to, man
Speaker 7: and we need to figure out a way to beat.
Speaker 7: Them because in that first half Of game, two The
Speaker 7: celtics looking. Great kember was scoring the, ball everyone was
Speaker 7: getting their. Shots but in the second, half When Eric
Speaker 7: bolster and The heat mixed it, up that's really what
Speaker 7: slowed down The. Celtics SO i expect they were working
Speaker 7: on that and they'll be coming out looking to somehow
Speaker 7: take advantage of that zone when they see it from The.
Speaker 4: Heat, okay what do you, Got.
Speaker 6: Trey i'm one hundred percent rooting for The Boston celtics
Speaker 6: to win, tonight AND i don't care how they do
Speaker 6: it because we need this to be a good. Series you,
Speaker 6: know this looked like it was gonna be an incredible,
Speaker 6: series just Like raptors Versus celtics did that eventually went seven.
Speaker 6: Games we had some classic, moments but we got a
Speaker 6: chance that The heat are gonna go up three To.
Speaker 6: Oho this is a pivotal must Win game three for
Speaker 6: The Boston celtics and Like lea, saying they're going to
Speaker 6: see the zone and they got to figure out a
Speaker 6: way to do, it you, know a way to attack
Speaker 6: it to Get Kemba walker. Untracked AND i Think Jason
Speaker 6: tatum just needs to be better in the fourth. Quarter
Speaker 6: it's supposed to Be Jason tatum Versus Jimmy, butler And
Speaker 6: butler has been schooling him so. Far let's see some
Speaker 6: clutch plays By Jason. Tatum come, On Bean Town, boys
Speaker 6: roll that beautiful bean. Footage i'm cracking a can. Tonight
Speaker 6: whatever it. Is we need this to be a.
Speaker 4: Classic is?
Speaker 3: Here what you're wearing your green here? Today you don't
Speaker 3: have the green hat, on but you got the green
Speaker 3: shirt on for The Beantown.
Speaker 6: Boys so, yeah that's just happened to be on the
Speaker 6: floor and it plays nicely with The celtics and the
Speaker 6: fact THAT i think there's a golf major going on.
Speaker 4: Today OH i believe you had a golf, major big golf.
Speaker 3: Guy oh, yeah, okay you got any money on any
Speaker 3: of the golfers out there on the greens like your Camp.
Speaker 4: Stewart, Yeah i'm.
Speaker 6: Hoping for a Big saturday From david. Duvall let's see
Speaker 6: If Ernie els can get that swinging groove.
Speaker 3: Today all, Right, tasa what are you watching for?
Speaker 1: Tonight, Well i'm definitely With trey on the The Jason tatum.
Speaker 1: Angle he didn't take a shot for the last five
Speaker 1: minutes of the game In game. Two and it's a
Speaker 1: thing with The Boston. Celtics they think that they, can you,
Speaker 1: know sort of do it by. Committee If kemba is
Speaker 1: going which he, was give them the. Ball If jalen
Speaker 1: is going what he, was give them the. Ball And
Speaker 1: tatum doesn't necessarily have to take. Over But tatum has
Speaker 1: the best ability to score because of because of who he.
Speaker 1: Is SO i would like to See tatum not part
Speaker 1: of not not fall back in the packing order too.
Speaker 1: MUCH i want to see him shoot a little. Bit
Speaker 1: AND i think we're talking about the end of the
Speaker 1: game that The celtics absolutely know that this is their
Speaker 1: season on the. Line they just played a team in
Speaker 1: The Toronto raptors that their season was on the line
Speaker 1: In game three and Ogn andobi hit that three right
Speaker 1: at the. End so The celtics will be going for
Speaker 1: forty eight minutes this, time unlike when they had that
Speaker 1: huge lapse in at the third quarter Of game. Two
Speaker 1: SO i think we'll see a good performance from The celtics.
Speaker 3: AND i may have buried the lead here. Right Gordon
Speaker 3: hayward might be back For game three. TONIGHT i guess
Speaker 3: it's still still. Questionable is that what he's been upgraded.
Speaker 3: Too it's more likely than it isn't that he will be,
Speaker 3: playing possibly in game, Three so who knows how that
Speaker 3: helps in terms of their, defense which they got exploited
Speaker 3: obviously we talked about With bam pick and rolls and
Speaker 3: stuff like, that and then he could help as a
Speaker 3: bit of a zone BUSTER i think, too being in my,
Speaker 3: opinion maybe their best. Playmaker maybe he's the one that
Speaker 3: goes in the middle of the zone and can operate from.
Speaker 3: There you get them the ball at the nail and
Speaker 3: then find corner shooters and stuff like, that or at
Speaker 3: least attack the. Pain so we'll see If Gordon hayward
Speaker 3: plays in. This hopefully we get another great. Game those
Speaker 3: last two have been, really really. Fun let's call it.
