1
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:09,920
Speaker 1: This is Straight Fire with Jason McIntyre.

2
00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:15,200
Speaker 2: What is up straight Firefam, It's me Jason McIntyre. Straight

3
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:22,000
Speaker 2: Fire for Wednesday, June the twelfth. It is NBA Finals

4
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 2: Game three tonight from Dallas. We'll get the best bets

5
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 2: in at the end of the podcast. It's looking bleak however, however,

6
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:34,280
Speaker 2: the Christaps porzingis weirdo. Foot injury could be a factor.

7
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:36,280
Speaker 2: We've seen some line movement. MAVs now two and a

8
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:39,400
Speaker 2: half point favorites as we wake up on this beautiful

9
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 2: Wednesday morning Dallas.

10
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:42,680
Speaker 3: The side I don't know.

11
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 2: We'll get you a little later. A couple of player

12
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:48,319
Speaker 2: props I like, but a couple other topics to hit

13
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:50,480
Speaker 2: real quick. As a quick reminder in case you didn't

14
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 2: listen to all of yesterday's podcast, I'll be hosting The

15
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 2: Herd Friday, and this first take I'm gonna open with

16
00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 2: is something that I plan on using Friday, socticing it

17
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 2: here just as I will a Caitlin Clark take that

18
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 2: I've now the one that I used here Monday. I've

19
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 2: refurbished it kind of dove a little deeper in certain areas.

20
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:11,839
Speaker 2: I'm not done with the kit and Clarks cuff, folks,

21
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,760
Speaker 2: I'm not. I think it's a fun topic. I get

22
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 2: a lot of DMS about this. You guys seem passionate

23
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 2: about it, So we're not gonna do it here today.

24
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,320
Speaker 2: That being said, I think the first place to start

25
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:27,040
Speaker 2: is kind of it's not too insidery. I find it fascinating, right,

26
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 2: the Danny Hurley situation with the Lakers. So obviously he

27
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:34,960
Speaker 2: said no to the Lakers. That's over. He's staying at Yukon,

28
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 2: blah blah blah. But some of the other stuff that

29
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 2: popped up on Tuesday might only be interesting to me.

30
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 3: But I don't know if you guys.

31
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 2: You know, we like reading tea leaves here, right, We

32
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 2: like kind of guessing, attempting to see around corners what's

33
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 2: coming next. So here's where I'm going with this. I

34
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 2: believe it was like a week ago Sham's, the reporter

35
00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 2: for The Athletic and various other outlets said that the

36
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 2: Lakers were zeroing in on JJ Reddick to be their

37
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 2: next head coach. Everybody's like, Okay, Reddick's the guy. It's

38
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 2: not zeroing in means it's a done deal. Within twenty

39
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 2: four hours, Woje comes out and says breaking news, Lakers

40
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 2: are gonna talk to Danny Hurley. They gonna approach him,

41
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:19,080
Speaker 2: make an offer. And initially it was like, oh, they

42
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 2: haven't even they haven't even talked to him. What And

43
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:25,080
Speaker 2: then within like twenty four hours, Lakers have flown out

44
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 2: Hurley and his wife.

45
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 3: And blah blah blah. Fast forward to yesterday.

46
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 2: Okay, Sham's kind of had to lay in the in

47
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 2: the background while he was getting beat up online for

48
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 2: reporting the zeroing in on Reddick when clearly it wasn't true.

49
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,960
Speaker 2: Chams after Hurley says no waits in the cut and

50
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 2: comes out Tuesday swinging.

51
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 3: Okay, I don't know.

52
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 2: If a lot of people pick this up, but I

53
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 2: get nerdy about some of this stuff. So if you

54
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 2: really listen closely to what Sham said, He's on some

55
00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 2: show on fan Duel. He it's kind of veiled, but

56
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:06,800
Speaker 2: if you listen closely, he takes repeated shots at Rob

57
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 2: Polinka and the Lakers. He doesn't use Polinka by name,

58
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 2: but he kind of slowly but surely is like deepanting

59
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 2: the Lakers, and Shams makes it sound like the Lakers

60
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 2: simply got used by Hurley to get a raise right

61
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,519
Speaker 2: from Yukon. We don't know if that's the case. It

62
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,679
Speaker 2: certainly is plausible. He's certainly going to get a raise,

63
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 2: and maybe he used the Lakers. Maybe the Lakers really

64
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 2: really wanted him badly. That seems clear right. They flew

65
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 2: him out. They made him a lucrative offer, seventy million

66
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 2: over six years.

67
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 3: Whatever it was.

68
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 2: He was gonna get a raise for going back to

69
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 2: back titles. Shams made it seem like he had been

70
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 2: negotiating with Yukon, it wasn't going his way, and then

71
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, somehow the Lakers got involved. It

72
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 2: just was weird and just it made the Lakers not

73
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 2: look like they have their shit together. That was just

74
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 2: the first shot across the bow. And then he was

75
00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 2: pretty pointed to say Hurley rejected the Lakers to stay

76
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 2: in Connecticut for twenty million dollars less. Twenty million dollars

77
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 2: is generational wealth. Yes, even with California, Texas, that is generational.

78
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 2: Just the twenty million he took less, it's a shot

79
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 2: to the Lakers.

80
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 3: Now.

81
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 2: Bill Plashkia the La Times had an eviscerating column about

82
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 2: the Lakers brand is down. Blah blah blah, so bad.

83
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:21,720
Speaker 2: How do you get rejected by this guy who's never

84
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:25,160
Speaker 2: coached in the NBA? Come on, anyways, Shams went on

85
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,480
Speaker 2: to say, well, there's only a couple weeks left to

86
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 2: the draft, and the Lakers don't have a coach, and

87
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 2: there's only a few weeks left to free agency, and

88
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 2: the Lakers don't have a coach. And the Lakers and

89
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,839
Speaker 2: again when he says the Lakers, he means Polinka. Polinka's

90
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 2: run on the show, The Lakers have interviewed two guys twice,

91
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:47,039
Speaker 2: Reddick and Barrego, the former Hornets coach. And he makes

92
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,040
Speaker 2: a point to say if they wanted to hire Barrego,

93
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 2: they would have done this weeks ago, without saying they

94
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 2: want Reddick. But basically, Shams in this in these two interviews,

95
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 2: paints a picture of ineptitude by the Lakers, specifically Polinka

96
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:05,479
Speaker 2: and Geni bus is going to get some shrapnel, obviously,

97
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:11,719
Speaker 2: but Polinka becomes the target guy for Lakers fans. Now

98
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:13,159
Speaker 2: what do Lakers fans do?

99
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:14,840
Speaker 3: They take that interview and they're like, man, we've had

100
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:15,279
Speaker 3: a rough go.

101
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:17,919
Speaker 2: We did win that title in the bubble, right, Polenka,

102
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 2: Lebron Vogel whatever order you want to say they won

103
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:24,839
Speaker 2: the title in the bubble. Since then, it's just been failure,

104
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:29,040
Speaker 2: train wreck, disaster. They lost Caruso, which really hurt. I mean,

105
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 2: he's been a very good defender for Chicago. Caruso was good.

106
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:37,719
Speaker 2: They traded for Russell Westbrook, which was just unbelievably bad.

107
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 2: Everybody could see that coming.

108
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 3: Now.

109
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 2: I'm sure Polinka will say, hey, hey, hey, that was

110
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:45,279
Speaker 2: Lebron and his people, Polenka drafting the kid hood Schaffino

111
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 2: I think out of Indiana last year at seventeen. I mean,

112
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:51,480
Speaker 2: come on, that was a massive whiff. Okay, Now, maybe

113
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,839
Speaker 2: he emerges this year as something special, but he gave

114
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 2: the Lakers zero last year when the guy drafted him

115
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,840
Speaker 2: after him. Jimei Hawke is from my from UCLA went

116
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 2: to Miami at eighteen. He was like starting a bunch

117
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:07,160
Speaker 2: of games. He was very good. Podzemski goes to the Warriors.

118
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:09,480
Speaker 2: He was solid coming off the bench. Rotational. Those are

119
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:12,719
Speaker 2: two rotational guys. Ben Shephard at twenty six. Of the

120
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 2: pacers in the rotation played a lot in the playoffs,

121
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 2: and then the big one that hurt GG Jackson. Now

122
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:21,480
Speaker 2: nobody knows who that is unless you watch the Lakers

123
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 2: play the Grizzlies a couple times, that GG Jackson was awesome.

124
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 2: I'd never heard of him by the way he had.

125
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 2: He went forty fifth to the Grizzlies. He was going

126
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:31,479
Speaker 2: to totoe with Lebron in multiple games. Now I know

127
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 2: the Grizzlies had a billion injuries. Otherwise, GG Jackson probably

128
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,479
Speaker 2: spends the entire season in the G League. But there's

129
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 2: a bunch of guys in this draft. TJD to the

130
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 2: Warriors at the very end of the end of the

131
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 2: draft is like he was a contributor. Bottom line, Polinka

132
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:47,599
Speaker 2: has not had a good run here. Let's see what

133
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 2: happens with D'Angelo Russell. Okay, we don't know what his

134
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 2: future holds, but it seems like Lakers gonna have to

135
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 2: keep him at a top dollar or they have to

136
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:59,039
Speaker 2: sign and trade him. But bottom line, it's this weird

137
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 2: thing and my big picture takeaway, and I hope this

138
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,839
Speaker 2: doesn't come off as too harsh, but we know Sham's

139
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 2: is in bed with Clutch. Okay, it almost feels like

140
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 2: there is a cold war happening between Clutch and Rob Polinka.

141
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 2: It feels like we are seeing the beginning stages of

142
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 2: Oh Clutch is gonna plant the seeds in the media

143
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 2: about the Lakers ineptitude. Lebron's only got a couple years

144
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 2: left and they're just screwing around. They fire Darvinham with

145
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 2: no game plan. Who does that? Oh that's right, bad franchises.

146
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 2: You know, you've got to have a plan. And it

147
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 2: seems like now maybe Polenka save's face and he's able

148
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 2: to get Jay Wright. I don't see that, you know,

149
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 2: it seems unlikely. Maybe Polenka sees it as, oh, we

150
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 2: got bird in hand, we got Reddick, he's locked up.

151
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 3: We got that.

152
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 2: No big deal, Let's see what else we can get.

153
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 2: You know, That's that doesn't seem like a good way

154
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 2: to do business. But essentially, I just Polinka's got to

155
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 2: watch his back here. He's got to play both sides.

156
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 2: He's got to play NICs with Clutch. They're powerful agency, right,

157
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 2: with a lot of guys, including eighty and Lebron, And

158
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 2: he's also got to watch out for Lebron and Clutch

159
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 2: taking over.

160
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 3: He's got you gotta play nights with him.

161
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 2: There's a Russian proverb, you've got to wash the bear

162
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 2: without getting him wet And I don't know if that

163
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 2: makes too much sense, but I read that somewhere and

164
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 2: I was like, oh, that's good. So I wrote it

165
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 2: down in like my little note section of my phone,

166
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 2: and it essentially is like, you've got to be very

167
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 2: delicate in this situation and not screwed up. And that

168
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 2: kind of feels like where Polinka is right now. I

169
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:35,680
Speaker 2: don't know, like what if this finals, I mean, what

170
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:37,319
Speaker 2: if we'll get to it in a second. What if

171
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 2: you know, all of a sudden, Porzincis is seriously injured.

172
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 2: This this foot ankle thing is a problem and he's

173
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 2: got to miss a few games and then the MAVs get

174
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 2: back in it. Now we're looking at a seven game series,

175
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 2: and then you can't hire Reddick because he's on air,

176
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,440
Speaker 2: and next thing you know, it's like, oh, game seven,

177
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:56,319
Speaker 2: and then four days later is the draft. Like, I

178
00:08:56,400 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 2: don't know, there's a world where Polinka really screws this up,

179
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 2: and maybe he's the guy on the hot seat, but

180
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 2: I just I would keep an eye out for Clutch

181
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 2: versus Polinka. And I'm sure you know the Lakers knew

182
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 2: what they were getting into. Remember the San Antonio Spurs

183
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 2: I forget who put this together. It might have been

184
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 2: the guy from Bleacher Report and Yahoo who we've had

185
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:22,559
Speaker 2: on the pod before, but he noted. I believe that

186
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:26,200
Speaker 2: the Spurs essentially got out of the clutch sports business,

187
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:31,200
Speaker 2: and I think they traded almost all their clutch guys

188
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 2: and they just did not want to deal with them anymore.

189
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 2: At least that was the way that this was framed

190
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 2: by their journalist. And essentially, I guess there were four

191
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 2: instances where Papovich and company were just like, we're done

192
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,199
Speaker 2: with clutch, We're moving on de Jonta Murray, clutch guy,

193
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 2: no thank you, and they just gone down the list

194
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:48,720
Speaker 2: and they got rid of, like I think, almost.

195
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:49,720
Speaker 3: All their clutch guys, not all of them.

196
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 2: But it's a tough one for Polinka and the Lakers,

197
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 2: and listen, they do have to say, face Hurley staying

198
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 2: in college basketball for twenty million dollars less, and is

199
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 2: that that's a shot that you don't quickly bounce back from.

205
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 1: Here's your best bet.

206
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:30,080
Speaker 2: All right, let's get to Game three tonight from Dallas.

207
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:32,680
Speaker 2: MAVs opened up one point, favorites, went to one and

208
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 2: a half. Now it's a two and a half. On

209
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 2: the Porzingis news, I'm trying to make sense of the

210
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 2: Porzingis situation because he clearly looked injured on the play.

211
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:44,840
Speaker 2: Doris Burke, as we pointed out on on Monday, Doris

212
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 2: Burger was like, he's not moving well. He leaves and

213
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 2: ultimately he says after the game, I will die out

214
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:57,839
Speaker 2: before I'm off the court, and Missoula spoke very very

215
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 2: glowingly about his opportunities to get back in the game

216
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:03,719
Speaker 2: for Game three, and like we're not we're not.

217
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:04,560
Speaker 3: Really concerned about it.

218
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 2: And then all of a sudden, the imaging comes out

219
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 2: the MRI and it's like, oh uh, this is like

220
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 2: a serious injury. Now it's a weird, rare injury. And

221
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,439
Speaker 2: I try to look it up online to see any

222
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 2: other players who have dealt with this. I couldn't find anything.

223
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:22,680
Speaker 2: Somebody did send me a note on social media that

224
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:25,720
Speaker 2: there is a there was a soccer player who dealt

225
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:31,719
Speaker 2: with this. But it's called a left posterior tibolous dislocation.

226
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 2: I hear dislocation. I think not great. Anything dislocated probably

227
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 2: not good. Now he's listened as questionable, everybody wants to

228
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 2: break down. On the film, porzingis walking to meet the media.

229
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 2: He's in flip flops.

230
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 3: I didn't see any lateral movements.

231
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:50,080
Speaker 2: So I don't don't want to freak out, but this

232
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 2: does listen. I know Celtics fans i't want to hear this.

233
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:54,720
Speaker 2: This does open the door for the series to get

234
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:57,440
Speaker 2: at least a little bit interesting. Come on, guys, you

235
00:11:57,520 --> 00:11:59,680
Speaker 2: have to admit the series has been quite bad. Game

236
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 2: one was an absolute bloodbath. I believe Dallas was within

237
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 2: single digits for like maybe forty five seconds. I think

238
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 2: they cut it to eight. Maybe it is a minute

239
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 2: ninety In the second half, it was just not fun.

240
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 2: And then in Game two, it was a close game

241
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 2: for a half and then Boston pulls away and then

242
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 2: the MAVs get within five and they could have I believe,

243
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:26,839
Speaker 2: cut it to three on the PJ. Washington dunk where

244
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 2: there was a foul, but they didn't call it, and

245
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:29,959
Speaker 2: it goes the other way, and that was a Bowl game.

246
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:33,959
Speaker 2: It just hasn't been a juicy series. Now, what I'm

247
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,439
Speaker 2: about to say is kind of juicy. Obviously, I went

248
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:38,840
Speaker 2: after Kyrie the other day because he's been pretty much

249
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:44,079
Speaker 2: pooh pooh in the series. Luka Doncic, listen, you guys

250
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:48,079
Speaker 2: know that his defense has been an issue against Minnesota.

251
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 2: Though he showed up, it was almost as if he

252
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 2: had a personal beef with Rudy Gobert and Luca showed

253
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 2: up playing defense, get a couple of key blocks, moving

254
00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 2: his feet.

255
00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:00,839
Speaker 3: I think he took a charge. He got this stat.

256
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 3: It's just crazy.

257
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:08,080
Speaker 2: Luca was blown by on thirteen drives in Game two, thirteen,

258
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 2: the most allowed by a player in the last ten postseasons.

259
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 3: That's not good.

260
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:17,560
Speaker 2: They are attacking him relentlessly. My buddy Dan sends me

261
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 2: this clip on IG which I popped. Somebody did like

262
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:26,439
Speaker 2: a super cut of basically Luka Doncic getting torched by Dallas.

263
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 2: And I'm just you guys know, I like Luca. I'm

264
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 2: a Luca defender, but it's extremely unflattering for Luca. There

265
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 2: is a lot of like, I'm not trying on this play.

266
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 2: As the Boston Celtic offensive guy goes right to the rim.

267
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 2: It's like, you know what, I'm just gonna guess this

268
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 2: way and hope he runs into me and I get

269
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:46,840
Speaker 2: to charge. Otherwise I'm not.

270
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 3: Really gonna try to recover.

271
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 2: I mean, it's a lot of that thirteen drives, so

272
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 2: we know he's not moving. Well, that's obvious. Luca obviously

273
00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 2: is a capable defender. Nobody's gonna say he's a great defender.

274
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 2: His defense this year was better on post ups. I

275
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 2: think he was somehow rated like one of the top

276
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 2: five defenders against post defense because listen, he's sturdy.

277
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 3: You can't really back him down.

278
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 2: I mean, Rudy Gobert did it once, but Dallas was

279
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 2: inviting Rudy Gobert post ups, like please post up.

280
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 3: But he just is not fully healthy.

281
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 1: Now.

282
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 2: You saw the image of him on the bench before

283
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 2: the game, like knee heavily wrapped in iced bandages around

284
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 2: his body. Apparently. I don't know if he got the

285
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:34,520
Speaker 2: win knocked out of him, he got a bruise, rib whatever,

286
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 2: but it was when he took the charge I think

287
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 2: on Jalen Brown. He hit the ground hard and he

288
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 2: just he looks like a guy who's beat up and

289
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 2: it stinks because they have extra days off and you

290
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 2: need Luca one hundred percent. As such, I would lean

291
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 2: to the under thirty two and a half points for Luca.

292
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 1: Here.

293
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 2: I'm not saying Dallas is gonna win a blowout. The

294
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 2: toughest part for saying Dallas is gonna blow out Boston

295
00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 2: is Boston just had its horrendous three point shooting.

296
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 3: Game and they still won by seven.

297
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 2: So like, there is really no world where Dallas does

298
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 2: blow out Boston unless the MAVs offense, you know, can

299
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 2: top one hundred points, which is crazy. And even then,

300
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 2: like I just I don't know if the if this

301
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 2: is in the MAVs offense right now to go up

302
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 2: against Boston, which is built like the twenty seventeen Warriors.

303
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 2: They are with lengths. When when those Warriors teams would

304
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 2: try out the what do they call it the death lineup,

305
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 2: it was like Curry, Clay, Iguodala, KD and Draymond.

306
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 3: It's like no center.

307
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 2: Draymond was six ' nine, Kevin Durant's like six ' ten,

308
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 2: six eleven maybe seven feet. Iguodala a long, and they

309
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 2: could switch everything on the perimeter everything.

310
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 3: There's no hunting Curry. You're not.

311
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 2: What does it matter if you're hunting Curry. They've got

312
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:52,600
Speaker 2: Draymond a Defensive Player of the Year, and Kevin Durant

313
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 2: who's a six to eleven shop blocker, and Andrea Gudalah

314
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:57,320
Speaker 2: was a Finals MVP. They've got linked all over the place.

315
00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 2: That's how the Celtics are built. I almost because if

316
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 2: you remember back to the drafts where Jalen Brown and

317
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:07,120
Speaker 2: Tatum slid a little bit and everybody was obsessed with

318
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 2: point guards. Oh, we gotta get Markel Foltz and Alonzo

319
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 2: Ball just very very silly. Meanwhile, the Celtics are like,

320
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 2: we want wing length.

321
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 3: This is a wing league.

322
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:24,080
Speaker 2: Remember Brad Stevens famously, there aren't like power forward, shooting guard.

323
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 2: Those aren't positions anymore. That's not how the league works.

324
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 2: You've got bigs, you got wings, and you got guards,

325
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 2: ball handlers.

326
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:33,560
Speaker 3: That's it now.

327
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 2: The Celtics when they go to Port actually Horford would

328
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 2: be a big, Porzingi is a big, but otherwise they've

329
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 2: got basically all wings and ball handlers and it's really

330
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:47,880
Speaker 2: really difficult to hang with. Like Derek Lively, he can't

331
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 2: shoot the way Horford can. He can't shoot the way

332
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 2: Porzingis can. Lively has more thousand points in this series. Now,

333
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 2: that was one thing I did nail.

334
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 3: Well.

335
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 2: There's been a couple I said this would be a

336
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 2: tough series for Lively. He's just been a total line factor.

337
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 2: We'll see if his minutes are reduced as they go

338
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:06,159
Speaker 2: small here. But if that's the case, if they you know,

339
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 2: we thought maybe they go less Gafford or less Lively,

340
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 2: I thought it would be in favor of Kleeber. I

341
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:14,920
Speaker 2: think maybe the guy to watch here is PJ. Washington,

342
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:17,199
Speaker 2: who has not shot it great from three in the

343
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 2: series one of eight. But he is attacking the rim,

344
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 2: he's getting to the foul line, he's getting big minutes,

345
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:26,679
Speaker 2: and he's going home here. So I'm looking at his points,

346
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:30,680
Speaker 2: rebounds and assists. I feel like he's quietly everything's He's

347
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:33,320
Speaker 2: having a good series everywhere except shooting the three.

348
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:35,120
Speaker 3: And if he gets just a couple.

349
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:38,280
Speaker 2: Of those to fall, it'll open up the lane for Kyrie,

350
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:41,159
Speaker 2: maybe even for Luca, maybe for some of those lobs.

351
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 2: But right now, like they can't throw it in the ocean,

352
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:48,119
Speaker 2: the Celtics are daring Derek Jones and PJ. Washington to

353
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:50,160
Speaker 2: beat them for three, and they basically can't. I think

354
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 2: they have a combined two threes in two games. The

355
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:57,919
Speaker 2: catch and shoot game, which helped them so well against Okase,

356
00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 2: has failed them miserably. Now, maybe the Celtics rotations are

357
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:04,479
Speaker 2: just that good, or it's the length. I don't know,

358
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 2: but the catch and shoot numbers are staggering. Dallas is

359
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:10,439
Speaker 2: six of twenty eight on catch and shoot threes. You

360
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:12,120
Speaker 2: don't need to be a math major. No, no, that's

361
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:17,879
Speaker 2: less than twenty five percent. Meanwhile, Boston twenty of sixty.

362
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:20,720
Speaker 2: They have double the amount of catch and shoot threes.

363
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:22,879
Speaker 2: You know why, because Tatum and Brown are driving to

364
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:25,880
Speaker 2: the rim. I saw stat that Jason Tatum had twenty

365
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:28,680
Speaker 2: nine drives in Game two, the most drives he's ever

366
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:32,640
Speaker 2: had in an NBA game ever. Twenty nine drives. Now,

367
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:35,199
Speaker 2: he missed a million shots in close, but he had

368
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 2: a double digit figures and assists. Tatum is creating. Brown

369
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:41,919
Speaker 2: had twenty three drives, the second most he's ever had

370
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 2: when the threes aren't falling. We notice this in after

371
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:48,639
Speaker 2: Game one, Brown attacking the whop, getting into the foul line.

372
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 2: He's missing a lot of free throws, but he's still attacking.

373
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 2: Tatum twenty nine drives in Game two, most he's ever had,

374
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 2: and guess what if you're collapsing, he's then kicking it

375
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:02,840
Speaker 2: out to Derek White to Drew Holiday to Porzingis. Their

376
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 2: rotations are good. The Celtics are a well oiled machine.

377
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:10,119
Speaker 2: And here's what's crazy. They're fourteen and two right now

378
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:14,400
Speaker 2: in the playoffs, fourteen and two. If they somehow pull

379
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:16,879
Speaker 2: off a sweep, I would assume Dallas is going to

380
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:18,640
Speaker 2: get one of these two at home, hopefully Game three,

381
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:19,240
Speaker 2: or it's over.

382
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:22,440
Speaker 3: We know that. Fourteen and two.

383
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 2: Okay, last year the Nuggets had a good run. They

384
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:29,399
Speaker 2: didn't finish fourteen and two. The best runs ever have

385
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 2: been the Warriors at sixteen and one, the twenty seventeen Warriors,

386
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:38,920
Speaker 2: and the Kobe Shaq Lakers went fifteen and one when

387
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 2: the first round series was best of five as opposed

388
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 2: to best of seven. If they get to sweep and

389
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:49,360
Speaker 2: go sixteen and two, I don't know how, by the way,

390
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:52,879
Speaker 2: that will mean they have won eleven straight games to

391
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:55,480
Speaker 2: end the postseason. Number because the sweep of the Pacers

392
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 2: the final three against Miami and then the four game sweep.

393
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:01,639
Speaker 2: I know people don't want to hear it, but some

394
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:04,880
Speaker 2: of the numbers will suggest that this is an all

395
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:08,000
Speaker 2: time great team. Everybody will say, I don't see it.

396
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,399
Speaker 2: It looks like they're best players, not even gonna be

397
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:13,159
Speaker 2: the finals MVP. How could this be a great al

398
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:16,119
Speaker 2: time team? They had an amazing road with Donovan Mitchell

399
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 2: going down and Jimmy Butler missing the series, and Jalen

400
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:23,200
Speaker 2: Brunson got hurt, or maybe the Knicks are there and

401
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 2: they put up a fight, and I'm pretty sure Haliburton

402
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:28,880
Speaker 2: missed a couple of games. Yeah, Paliburton missed a game, Yeah,

403
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 2: two games I think with the Pacers. So people will

404
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:33,239
Speaker 2: pooh pooh this, but I'm just saying, if they go

405
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:37,359
Speaker 2: sixteen and two, this is you're looking at one of

406
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 2: the great teams in the modern era. And I know

407
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,240
Speaker 2: people don't want to hear that because they don't always

408
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 2: pass the eye test. They can get streaky, But sixteen

409
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 2: and two and some of their offensive numbers, they're defensive numbers.

410
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:53,679
Speaker 2: The net rating, all that stuff, folks are point differential historic.

411
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 2: I would have three wins by fifty or more.

412
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:56,520
Speaker 3: This season.

413
00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:00,240
Speaker 2: This team is kind of sort of a juggernat now,

414
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:02,640
Speaker 2: me gassing him up like this probably means they'll lose.

415
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:07,560
Speaker 2: I just I for the sake of being interesting. I

416
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:09,760
Speaker 2: kind of hope the finals goes on longer than four games,

417
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:12,879
Speaker 2: don't you. So for tonight, I'll go MAVs. On the

418
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:15,639
Speaker 2: money line, I'll go Luca under thirty two and a

419
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:20,040
Speaker 2: half points. Kyrie Irving's killing me in this freaking series.

420
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:22,960
Speaker 2: I bet him over two and a half three pointers

421
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 2: in each of the first two games.

422
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 3: He's oh for eight shooting three so both those lost. Now,

423
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 3: one small thing on Kyrie.

424
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:32,920
Speaker 2: It looked like in game two the fans had kind

425
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 2: of got to him, or maybe he was on his

426
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:37,280
Speaker 2: own head, but he gestured to the crowd a couple times,

427
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:41,400
Speaker 2: and it was it was one of those huh. I'm

428
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 2: not saying he's going back to old Kyrie, but something

429
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:46,160
Speaker 2: seems off. He's got to get back, maybe getting home

430
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 2: a little home cooking. We'll get Kyrie back in his bag,

431
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 2: because he's just he's fumbling the bag.

432
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 3: He can't do anything. I would go over Kyrie.

433
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 2: Twenty three and a half points, somewhat reluctantly he's just

434
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 2: he's got to have a good game. They're not winning.

435
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:04,880
Speaker 2: If Kyrie scores fifteen points, I don't think that's happening.

436
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:08,080
Speaker 2: And then you gotta wonder, is there an X factor,

437
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:10,159
Speaker 2: like a Hardy coming off the bench. Do they go

438
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:13,119
Speaker 2: with more shooting Hardaway? One of the funniest things I

439
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:15,680
Speaker 2: saw was Mike Wilbon came out and was like, Yeah,

440
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:17,880
Speaker 2: I think the X factor is going to be Tim Hardaway.

441
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:18,719
Speaker 3: They need more shooting.

442
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:21,600
Speaker 2: Tim Ortway did not even play. Now I thought Maxi

443
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:24,119
Speaker 2: Kleeber would be an X factor. It's clear he's not

444
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 2: one hundred percent. He is getting minutes, he's just not

445
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:29,360
Speaker 2: making shots. I don't somebody is going to show.

446
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 3: Up at home.

447
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:32,000
Speaker 2: One of these role players will show up at home,

448
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 2: and my gut tells me the MAVs get the win

449
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:38,639
Speaker 2: tonight to at least make it interesting. Of course, if

450
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 2: Porzincis doesn't play, it's a really good sign for Dallas.

451
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:44,439
Speaker 2: If Porzincis plays, I think he's plus twenty five in

452
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 2: the series, which is number one or number two.

453
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:48,960
Speaker 3: I think Holliday might be there break there with him.

454
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 2: There's a world where this is a rap and we

455
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 2: start talking about the Celtics, who a lot of people

456
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 2: were doubting and mocking as one of the great teams

457
00:22:57,640 --> 00:22:58,760
Speaker 2: in NBA playoff history.

458
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:00,439
Speaker 3: I know Lakers fans are want to hear it.

459
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:03,359
Speaker 2: Ah, this team's this team's this team's mid what are

460
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:03,920
Speaker 2: we talking about?

461
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 3: Listen?

462
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 2: If Porzingis doesn't go down, I don't. I don't think

463
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 2: they're going undefeated. But the probably ain't losing that game

464
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:16,639
Speaker 2: to the Calves, right. I don't totally know what to

465
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:19,400
Speaker 2: make of this team. They are a weird handicap. Let's see,

466
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:21,879
Speaker 2: maybe Dallas will saw something tonight. But very excited to

467
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:25,119

00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:28,480
Speaker 2: But this is a summer of soccer. The Euros start Friday.

469
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 2: Copa America starts next week. Greg Burhalter back on the

470
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:34,919
Speaker 2: hot seat. A lot of fun soccer stuff coming up,

471
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:38,199
Speaker 2: so we will tackle all of that. Very excited for

472
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:41,560
