Speaker 1: The volume.
Speaker 2: What's up everybody? Welcome back to the Draymond Green Show
Speaker 2: with my brother b D. What's happening, Bro, how you
Speaker 2: feeling wants something? My guy?
Speaker 1: Uh, damn, damn, damn, damn. You gotta good run man.
Speaker 2: It's off season. Welcome to the off season. Text again.
Speaker 2: We get to hang out more. Bro. My mom text
Speaker 2: me after the game. I still ain't text her back,
Speaker 2: and I know she thinks I'm mad. I actually thought, well,
Speaker 2: I hope you went to you got your fishing stuff
Speaker 2: out of the store. It's time for you to go fishing.
Speaker 2: And then she sent me this, Come on, man, come yeah.
Speaker 1: And I gotta give a shout out to the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Speaker 2: You ain't gotta get them, no shout out and just
Speaker 2: shout out to the city man. Shouting out enough they won't.
Speaker 2: I don't need no shout out. They doing it. We
Speaker 2: need a shout out. We died first.
Speaker 1: I want to give a shout out to the Warriors.
Speaker 2: Championship. I want to shot them. They still going yet.
Speaker 1: They be my dogs. They don't shut dogs in the fight.
Speaker 1: Dogs in the fight. They proved me wrong.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 1: You know, it was an interesting series. You know Minnesota
Speaker 1: is sneaky because they got size, they got speed, they
Speaker 1: got offensive time, they got a lot of dudes that
Speaker 1: can do a lot of different things, and they can
Speaker 1: play different styles. I think Sam Minnesota playing against the Lakers,
Speaker 1: Lebron Luca.
Speaker 2: Lakers are small. They bullied them up then came.
Speaker 1: Back with you guys, and you know, Game one was different.
Speaker 1: Stuff goes out. You guys are still small, and so
Speaker 1: they have every advantage. They play big small ball, which
Speaker 1: is interesting and you know in this type of NBA
Speaker 1: because now you know you're looking at six eight six nine,
Speaker 1: six eight sixty seven and then maybe if Comedy's out there,
Speaker 1: you know, six feet and so I think in this
Speaker 1: series it was just a matter of speed. They were quicker,
Speaker 1: they were quicker to the ball. You know, they just
Speaker 1: have more weapons. When you're playing against a team like this,
Speaker 1: it is hard to focus on one particular thing when
Speaker 1: they have so many different that can beat you. And
Speaker 1: it wasn't just Anthony Edwards. It's never just been all
Speaker 1: Anthony Edwards. It's been Julius Randall, it's been McDaniel's, it's
Speaker 1: been Mike Conley, nas Reed really the nas read, Rudy
Speaker 1: go bear, you know them enterchanging in.
Speaker 2: And out the game.
Speaker 1: That that fuck a lot of teams up. You fought
Speaker 1: you had a couple of games. If you would have
Speaker 1: made the games murky, if you would have made the
Speaker 1: games under one hundred, I think you know, I tried
Speaker 1: to be under a hundred, under one hundred five, slow
Speaker 1: the pace down, then it would have worked in your figure.
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, they just wore
Speaker 1: y'all down. And then without having Steph Curry, it was
Speaker 1: tough because they have the physical presence and athletic talent
Speaker 1: to match up well against pretty much any team in
Speaker 1: the West. The way I'm looking at Minnesota, this is
Speaker 1: my first time really really really sam up.
Speaker 2: When I look at this series, it reminds me a
Speaker 2: lot of the Toronto series. And what I mean by
Speaker 2: that is matchups are extremely important, you know, offensively and defensively.
Speaker 2: The matchups are extremely important to the outcome of that game.
Speaker 2: Like there's some series that you can you can lose
Speaker 2: a guy, you can be without a guy, you can
Speaker 2: win still and like be fine based up on the
Speaker 2: matchup with those teams. When we when we lost to Toronto,
Speaker 2: it's like one injury changes all of the matchups, so right,
Speaker 2: So like say, for instance, Jaden McDaniel's would be glued
Speaker 2: to Steph Curry the entire series, no question, right, Like
Speaker 2: that will be the guy who they go to for
Speaker 2: Jaden mcdone for Steph. If Jada mcdanie's is struggling in
Speaker 2: foul trouble, the next guy they'd actually probably go to
Speaker 2: would be En who I think they put on Steph, right,
Speaker 2: Like if he gets some foul trump and chase Steph around,
Speaker 2: all right, So then what that does to the rest
Speaker 2: of the rest of the matchups, it's vitally important to
Speaker 2: how these games play out. Now with no Steph and
Speaker 2: Jadon McDaniels don't have to chase Steph around. Now Jaden
Speaker 2: McDaniels is on me or Jimmy or there's times where
Speaker 2: En was on me. Right, They're moving pieces around that
Speaker 2: you can't necessarily move around. So for instance, when we
Speaker 2: played Toronto and why why this series reminded me so
Speaker 2: much of that Toronto had all of those same things.
Speaker 2: They had point guard play, they had great wing player,
Speaker 2: they had good Wayne play off the bench, Norman Poull
Speaker 2: coming off the bench, Oh, Gianna Nobi coming off the bench, right,
Speaker 2: they had a really good power for playing at it
Speaker 2: e Lee level in Pascal Siako, Minnesota has a really
Speaker 2: good power for playing at an ALI level. And Julie
Speaker 2: is randall right, But some games it was Mark gasolda
Speaker 2: hurt Us right, Rudy Gobert obviously not the same style game.
Speaker 2: I'm just saying, but it's just a position, just yes,
Speaker 2: just position. But some games Sergei Baker hurt Us nahs reed,
Speaker 2: you see what I'm saying. So that's why, that's why
Speaker 2: the series reminded me so much that from a matchup perspective,
Speaker 2: it ends up then changing all of the matchups. That
Speaker 2: change is the lineup, so where you whereas you may
Speaker 2: go a certain lineup to cover this, you don't necessarily
Speaker 2: go that lineup because you're missing such a big piece.
Speaker 2: And so like when when I get in these series,
Speaker 2: I've been through so many of them that you can
Speaker 2: always immediately like, oh, this is that. And what I
Speaker 2: mean by that is like you can you can you
Speaker 2: can drop from your foul cap exactly this Houston series,
Speaker 2: Memphis two thousand and fifteen all over again. Right, Like,
Speaker 2: so you go back to like all of these series
Speaker 2: like this and the Toronto series is what this Minnesota
Speaker 2: series was to me, and saying that man, really really
Speaker 2: good ball club. When I take a step back and
Speaker 2: obviously removed myself from just playing in the series and
Speaker 2: just look at the series from a basketball fan perspective
Speaker 2: or a basketball analysis perspective, what I love most is
Speaker 2: it wasn't all like It wasn't like at and just
Speaker 2: had to dominate the ball or dominate the game like
Speaker 2: he made it. He had his imprint on every game.
Speaker 2: But it wasn't just like at big scoring Knights, at
Speaker 2: go for forty five and they win, like it was
Speaker 2: kind of all over the place. Julius played great. Julius
Speaker 2: is incredible. Another reason why I said this series is
Speaker 2: like Toronto to me is because for this reason I've
Speaker 2: been through. I think that was my thirty fourth playoff series.
Speaker 2: I could be off by one or two, give it
Speaker 2: take each way, could be thirty six, I don't know.
Speaker 2: Something of that nature. Call it for the sake of
Speaker 2: doing numbers, Call it my thirty third playoff series. The
Speaker 2: only other playoff series where I felt like I lost
Speaker 2: my matchup like that, I didn't completely dominate my matchup.
Speaker 2: Take over my matchup. The only other series really in
Speaker 2: my career where I feel like I lost my matchup Toronto,
Speaker 2: I felt like I lost my matchup to Pascal Siako.
Speaker 2: Game one, he crushed me. Game two, I stifled him,
Speaker 2: like maybe game four, game game three he was on.
Speaker 2: Game four, I had a better game, but I felt
Speaker 2: like I lost my matchup in that series. And this
Speaker 2: series also reminds me of that series because it's also
Speaker 2: a series where I don't feel like I lost my matchup.
Speaker 2: I lost my matchup. Like Julius was incredible and he
Speaker 2: played great basketball and obviously like some of the shots
Speaker 2: he was taken with shots that you want him to take,
Speaker 2: and he made him you know what I'm saying, And
Speaker 2: like he made the shots. Like at the end of
Speaker 2: the day, the game oftentimes come down to shot making,
Speaker 2: and he made the shots. And so gotta get drew
Speaker 2: a lot of credit. Man, I've been playing against Julius.
Speaker 2: I remember going back to the first preseason game or
Speaker 2: playing against him in San Diego, California. We was playing
Speaker 2: in this game, and like the court like we end
Speaker 2: up I think we end up stopping the game, like
Speaker 2: right after halftime or something, because the court was slippery.
Speaker 2: If I'm not mistaken, it's the same game that if
Speaker 2: you remember the clip, Kobe's picking up Steph four court,
Speaker 2: picking up Steph four court, and Steph hit the three
Speaker 2: and tap him and either Steph taps him or he
Speaker 2: taps Steph or something like. But if I'm not mistaken,
Speaker 2: it was that same game that was my first time
Speaker 2: ever playing against you, and at that time, Jew had
Speaker 2: this move where he come down, he got the ball
Speaker 2: in his right hand, he throw the ball to his
Speaker 2: right his left hand and he stutter step And I
Speaker 2: had never really faced the guy like that yet in
Speaker 2: the league. He was young coming in, so I struggled
Speaker 2: guarding that move. So when we played them the next
Speaker 2: preseason game, I watched a ton of clips that move
Speaker 2: and I'm like, oh, I know what I need to
Speaker 2: do to that move now. And we played the next
Speaker 2: preseason game and I shut the move down. We've been
Speaker 2: kind of having these little battles since Jew came into
Speaker 2: the league, and obviously this is the first one on
Speaker 2: the playoff level. But I got to give it to him. Man,
Speaker 2: he got the better he got the better. I mean,
Speaker 2: with all respect, you know, I'm never a guy who's
Speaker 2: going to hide from the truth. He was a tough cover,
Speaker 2: one of the tougher covers I've had in the playoffs.
Speaker 2: And it was very interesting because it did not feel
Speaker 2: like that series was as physical ass the Houston series.
Speaker 1: No, it was more physical. It just wasn't all the
Speaker 1: bullshit shenanigans. Like they got a greater level of respect
Speaker 1: for y'all, even when Steph went ours right, Like, I
Speaker 1: will say this, you have to watch Minnesota play in
Speaker 1: order to appreciate you said something up about ed Ant
Speaker 1: gets his money, and he gets his money with everybody
Speaker 1: else getting their money too. And I didn't know that
Speaker 1: they can beat you in so many different ways and
Speaker 1: not only like the three is not they live or
Speaker 1: die because Aunt go to the home the Dan, you
Speaker 1: will go to the home. Now as we go to
Speaker 1: the who you know, Collie still can penetrate, you know,
Speaker 1: pull up, run, pick and roll.
Speaker 2: So they got a couple different styles.
Speaker 1: And then adding Julius Randall, who's my boy, that's my
Speaker 1: young dog. Great offense beat great defense all the time.
Speaker 1: I disagree, but it did that all the time.
Speaker 2: Great like you play. It is a cliche staying that
Speaker 2: I disagree with you definitely did this time. Man.
Speaker 1: As a defender, there's been times where I've played probably
Speaker 1: the I played the best defensive possession on Alan Iverson
Speaker 1: and he made the shot.
Speaker 2: No, man, that's great. But but but then there's times
Speaker 2: where you played the best defensive possession and shut guys down.
Speaker 2: So I just disagree with the statement. It's a very
Speaker 2: cliche statement that I understand what people saying, but I
Speaker 2: disagree with. But this time, no question, no question.
Speaker 1: But yeah, and you know a lot of those shots
Speaker 1: is his talent and Minnesota when they when I see
Speaker 1: and I see Julius player like that, and I see
Speaker 1: what mcgay you can do with a little bit of freedom,
Speaker 1: what he did in the Lakers series coming off of that.
Speaker 2: And you've got Devincenzo, who's a dog, right.
Speaker 1: You got nas Reed who's a matchup problem, right because
Speaker 1: he moves like a guard.
Speaker 2: And so it's just a lot of and then Rudy Gobert.
Speaker 1: If you get two three good games out of Rudy
Speaker 1: Gobert where he got a double double, then it's like,
Speaker 1: god damn. They're hard to stop. But aftert y'all played hard.
Speaker 1: I thought y'all gave it y'all. I do think that.
Speaker 1: I don't know if y'all was expecting another version of
Speaker 1: the Houston series, But like they they weren't into none
Speaker 1: of the bullshit. They just stoopid. It was just hard, yeah,
Speaker 1: super hard. They played y'all tough. It wasn't no bullying.
Speaker 1: We ain't gonna be staring him down. We go is
Speaker 1: hit or be hit, right, And I think as a whole,
Speaker 1: you guys were hair for that because he just hit
Speaker 1: a little bit harder than Houston and he got on
Speaker 1: with their business right where Houston man hit. You could
Speaker 1: have been tricky, work up the game and now it's
Speaker 1: the thing. They was just oh my bad.
Speaker 2: I tell you this, though busy, there are more like
Speaker 2: they were physical for sure, But I'll tell you in
Speaker 2: playing the game, that game wasn't as physical as as Houston.
Speaker 2: It wasn't as physical because that's what Houston has to
Speaker 2: do in order to stay in again, right right. And
Speaker 2: so when I tell you it wasn't as physical, I'm
Speaker 2: telling you first, I've been in a million of these things.
Speaker 2: As you know, it was not as physical. It was
Speaker 2: a level of physicality, obviously a high level of playoff
Speaker 2: physicality for sure, but the skill level was so much
Speaker 2: higher than Houston that the game was never even allowed
Speaker 2: to get to that level of physicality because it's moving,
Speaker 2: you know. It's like it's more just didn't playing a drum,
Speaker 2: you know, like if you want to equate it to
Speaker 2: a musical instrument, Houston's like beating a drum, whereas this
Speaker 2: is like on the piano, this is you know, like
Speaker 2: on the guitar this is. This was like fine, high level,
Speaker 2: high skill movement with obviously playoff physicality for sure, you're
Speaker 2: in a playoff series, but it couldn't even reach that
Speaker 2: level of physicality because it's too much motion, you know
Speaker 2: what I'm saying, It's too much exactly. And so that's
Speaker 2: kind of my my takeaway from it. It's not like, yeah,
Speaker 2: they were physical for sure, Like it's a level of
Speaker 2: playoff physicality that is going to be met anyway, But
Speaker 2: it was so much higher level skill that I don't
Speaker 2: even think the game could reach that level because you
Speaker 2: can't even chuck somebody or grab somebody like because the
Speaker 2: game is moving at such a different tune, you know
Speaker 2: what I'm saying. That was kind of my my takeaway.
Speaker 2: I think something I noticed defensive with them too, is
Speaker 2: like and obviously with Steph on the floor, defensive game
Speaker 2: plans can change. But I felt like they did a
Speaker 2: good job of moving Rudy Gobert around and taking advantage
Speaker 2: of his strains. So oftentimes you get in these playoff
Speaker 2: series and this could be finished. You know, they had
Speaker 2: a year with Rudy last year's right, so you get
Speaker 2: the opportunity to go through it. Then you've see it.
Speaker 2: You get an opportunity to study it over the course
Speaker 2: of the summer, see what you can do. And obviously
Speaker 2: last year when they were in the Western Conference finals,
Speaker 2: I did the games with T and T and so
Speaker 2: I saw all the games. I saw how Dallas was
Speaker 2: able to exploit Rudy Gobert, And in playing them this year,
Speaker 2: I felt like they did a really good job of
Speaker 2: putting Rudy Gobert in positions to take advantage of his strains.
Speaker 2: Because it does come fall upon coaching, where for instance,
Speaker 2: if Steph Curry is a knockdown three point shooter but
Speaker 2: can't get to the hole right like he does, just
Speaker 2: saying hypothetically, if he's the three point shooter that he is,
Speaker 2: but he cannot get to the hole. So if they
Speaker 2: take the three away, he's done. Well, guess what that
Speaker 2: coach job is to do? You better find a way
Speaker 2: to get him some threes up, because that's your job.
Speaker 2: That's what he specializes in. Right, For some reason, defensively,
Speaker 2: it's never viewed that way. And so Rudy Gobert clearly
Speaker 2: has a toolkit of strains in his defensive repertoire. And
Speaker 2: it is the opposing coach's job to put him in
Speaker 2: positions to be unsuccessful, to put him in positions to
Speaker 2: make him uncomfortable. Right, that is the opposing coach's job. Well,
Speaker 2: guess what his coach job is, continue to find ways
Speaker 2: to put him him in positions to use his strengths
Speaker 2: to be successful. And I thought they did an incredible
Speaker 2: job this series of putting him in the positions to
Speaker 2: be successful, shifting their defenses around, like shifted schemes mid
Speaker 2: played to kind of drop him to the paint, Like
Speaker 2: I thought they did a really good job. But at
Speaker 2: this series, and there were some plays where we drove
Speaker 2: to the whole and Rudy Gobert didn't even step over
Speaker 2: to help, which I knew in their series, and that's
Speaker 2: their game plan. Their game plan was to press out
Speaker 2: and take the three out of the game. Obviously, as
Speaker 2: a big man, your tendency is for big like that
Speaker 2: is you see the ball into the room, you fundling,
Speaker 2: And that's how you could take advantage of Rudy at
Speaker 2: times because he fund away you hit the three. Toast
Speaker 2: did an incredible job man of not funneling in sticking
Speaker 2: to the game plan. They put him in positions to
Speaker 2: play their strangths. So I thought that was really good.
Speaker 2: I think as they moved forward in this next series,
Speaker 2: whether that's Denver or Oka, see that that will be
Speaker 2: vital again because the reality is can Nago, Nailes read
Speaker 2: and Julius random? Yes, could that possibly win them a series? Yes?
Speaker 2: But when you got all three of them working, and
Speaker 2: you can go to what Rudy brings because he brings
Speaker 2: a totally different thing from those two guys. So when
Speaker 2: you can have that strength of yours working as well,
Speaker 2: it makes them a much dangerous team. And I think
Speaker 2: they had all three of them working against that's what
Speaker 2: It's made them a much more dangerous team than they
Speaker 2: would be if they just got two of them working.
Speaker 2: So I thought that was something that I noticed in playing,
Speaker 2: but also watching the films, It's like, man, they did
Speaker 2: a much better job of putting Rudy in positions defensively
Speaker 2: to where he can take advantage of hit strengths and
Speaker 2: not just be exposed and where he may have some
Speaker 2: weaknesses as everyone does.

Speaker 1: They had time the West West Series against Houston, and
Speaker 1: like I was saying, I think what they caught on
Speaker 1: to was when you guys penetrate, you don't penetrate to score,
Speaker 1: and so that's.
Speaker 2: Why they stay home. They were like, yo, we.
Speaker 1: Cannot We don't want the Warriors to shoot a high
Speaker 1: volume of furious weather stuff is on the floor, not
Speaker 1: we want them to drive in. And a lot of
Speaker 1: times I's seen a purgatory. You get stuck in purgatory
Speaker 1: where it's like, oh, I got the ball, Damn I
Speaker 1: don't have the three. Nobody is else open. I'm in
Speaker 1: the middle of the court right with a stamp or
Speaker 1: a move to the basket, but I'm looking out. I'm
Speaker 1: looking for, you know, my spots. And when Rudy didn't
Speaker 1: challenge at the basket and they were able to stay home,
Speaker 1: especially when how he was rotating them and and all
Speaker 1: rotating the man with Looney rotating them out, putting nasrit
Speaker 1: kind of you know, confusing. I would say the offense
Speaker 1: and the defense. But I think they did a good
Speaker 1: job was taking away the three and making you guys
Speaker 1: make two. You guys did a good job. I want
Speaker 1: to say it was game three. I thought that game
Speaker 1: was had because you market the game. He went to
Speaker 1: the hull, you got steals, you you know you won,
Speaker 1: looking for the three. He was taking the three when
Speaker 1: it was opportune time. But like I think this era
Speaker 1: basketball like it's like crazy bro, Like you can get
Speaker 1: to the front of the rim and like nobody's there,
Speaker 1: and then if Rudy Gobert is there, like no disrespect
Speaker 1: to him or big dudes, Like I don't know. In
Speaker 1: our era, we kind of like getting to the whole
Speaker 1: challenge in the big dude. I don't see that as
Speaker 1: much in this era. But I thought Game three was
Speaker 1: probably our best game. Yeah, I had to win Game two.
Speaker 1: You I just I don't know what the fuck was
Speaker 1: happening with in game two.
Speaker 2: But Game two I felt like I felt like we
Speaker 2: went into Game two and we didn't think we could win.
Speaker 2: Like that was the feeling. That is the feeling that
Speaker 2: I had on the court. It was like Game two,
Speaker 2: we didn't feel like we can win. Game three we
Speaker 2: could have won, We should have won. And I played
Speaker 2: fucking awful. I was terrible.
Speaker 1: Yeah, last five minutes was oh gosh, I say at
Speaker 1: the house, yelling.
Speaker 2: I never found the rhythm of the game. I played terrible.
Speaker 2: So that's why we lost Game three, and I thought
Speaker 2: that's a game that we could have won. But I
Speaker 2: played terrible in the.
Speaker 1: Situation like that, right, You're never gonna get the benefit
Speaker 1: of the doubt for sure. So the little fouls and
Speaker 1: ship like that. That was that that kind of really
Speaker 1: hurt because you know, on the dunk, you didn't even.
Speaker 2: Follow them, you know, I didn't file. You know, it
Speaker 2: was interesting though. I got fined for that, and then
Speaker 2: you don't.
Speaker 1: Get the challenge, so you lose a time out, so
Speaker 1: then we Yeah, and then they called the office a
Speaker 1: foul on you uh with the cominga thing, which I thought,
Speaker 1: I think they replaced it. It's stupid, hiss heir. They
Speaker 1: can call a file before. Like, man, you're supposed to
Speaker 1: be judging. Was it a foul on cominga who grabs somebody?
Speaker 1: That's the whole man, that's the whole point of sports.
Speaker 1: Get away.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's stupid. But I used to shoot jumpers at
Speaker 2: He used to always do this after I see you
Speaker 2: always do like just and you know, Shane Battier, we
Speaker 2: do this to couple saying right there, like, man, we
Speaker 2: were gonna go to the replay, right, and we're gonna
Speaker 2: we're gonna.
Speaker 1: Penalize the person who tripped Shane Battie ain't so he
Speaker 1: got right here, and you know what I mean, they
Speaker 1: ain't looking at But I thought I thought that hurt.
Speaker 1: But man, I think Gang two y'all didn't think that
Speaker 1: Chak would win or think that Chaco compete. Game three,
Speaker 1: it was like, oh, ship, it's still one one. We
Speaker 1: can actually compete. And then I think it was just
Speaker 1: more I don't know if it was fatigue or just
Speaker 1: not having that to get over the hump.
Speaker 2: And then from there it was just like all right, battle.
Speaker 2: From that point, we're gonna fight, but this series swing. Yeah,
Speaker 2: we're gonna but yeah, yeah, yeah, Like it ain't just
Speaker 2: like we're gonna fight it. We're gonna win because they
Speaker 2: don't fight like no, they they're still good and they fight.
Speaker 2: So that's kind of what it brought down to.
Speaker 1: Y'all gonna wear it now because now it's like you're
Speaker 1: fighting and you're like, damn, man, where our knockout puncher
Speaker 1: at It's like, damn, he's still over there sitting. It's
Speaker 1: like if we could have stolen another one, and people
Speaker 1: was asking me about Steph the jury. Like somebody was like, man,
Speaker 1: when you just play if you're like, of course he
Speaker 1: would play if he could play. But if you can't
Speaker 1: play in the playoffs, you can't play. It ain't nothing
Speaker 1: you can do. And coming back you gotta be all
Speaker 1: the way right because you're literally a half a quarter.
Speaker 1: Like I remember I pulled my halmstring in the Dallas
Speaker 1: series and if it wasn't for just the momentum, like
Speaker 1: my hamstring was tore, I was just like, fuck it,
Speaker 1: we're gonna we're gonna ride into the wheels fall off, right,
Speaker 1: But you know in stuff, situation is different. He can't
Speaker 1: but he can't move, so there's no reason to get
Speaker 1: out there. And now you're looking at your big puncher,
Speaker 1: you knockout punching, like, damn dude. All right, we're gonna
Speaker 1: keep boxing and squabbing with these dudes. But like, damn
Speaker 1: our head, if we had our if we had our
Speaker 1: knockout guy over here, it'll be a different story. And
Speaker 1: so when you playing like that, you really just like
Speaker 1: you said, up heilbattle playing a Savan.
Speaker 2: But yeah, man, we've seen Steph play through a million injuries.
Speaker 2: Have strange squads, dass muscles. If he could have gave
Speaker 2: us sixty percent, I say no. If he could have
Speaker 2: gave us seventy percent, I still say no, that's not
Speaker 2: the answer. So moving on. It was great to you know,
Speaker 2: bounce back this year throughout the course of the year
Speaker 2: and not see a whole year just go to by
Speaker 2: the wayside real actually you know, make you know, give
Speaker 2: ourselves a chance.
Speaker 1: But y'all had a chance to win it too, y'all
Speaker 1: absolute it. Yeah, I had a strong chance. I had
Speaker 1: a strong belief. And then the way y'all bounce back
Speaker 1: and put your name in the hat, you put your
Speaker 1: name back on the board outside of like, damn, we're
Speaker 1: about to be mediocre and get it and be you.
Speaker 2: Know men, you're not med no more. Fact back to yeah,
Speaker 2: and I think we got a chance. Now where are you? Like?
Speaker 2: All right? So one of the toughest things is, you know,
Speaker 2: to do in this league is like it's hard to
Speaker 2: fill the top of a roster, meaning you got staff
Speaker 2: to then plug a Jimmy Butler in Like that's a
Speaker 2: very hard thing to do in the NBA, where how
Speaker 2: people work, with how franchises work, it's a very tough
Speaker 2: thing to do. I think we've done the tough part now,
Speaker 2: Like we added a Jimmy Butler, So now you can
Speaker 2: now look at your roster and say, okay, we want
Speaker 2: to improve here, we want to add this thing because
Speaker 2: we now know, okay, this is the stylard that game
Speaker 2: that Jimmy plays, we need to add X. Right. Like
Speaker 2: now you're accounting for different things and you're able to
Speaker 2: really build this team the way it should be built.
Speaker 2: And so that's that That to me, headed into the
Speaker 2: off season is the exciting part, you know, of where
Speaker 2: it's like, yo, we got a chance to fine tune
Speaker 2: this thing and put it together and give it another
Speaker 2: go or two or three. You know. So I think
Speaker 2: we all can still compete at that level. We've shown that,
Speaker 2: we know that regardless of what people may feel with
Speaker 2: shown we know we can still compete at that level,
Speaker 2: which is huge moving forward to the on to the
Speaker 2: to the off season. I think we move forward in
Speaker 2: a much better position this year than we were in
Speaker 2: last year. So I'm excited about that. Obviously, you know
Speaker 2: this this league is very unforgiving. You know, got to
Speaker 2: survive the off season. But we'll see what happened. Yeah, man,
Speaker 2: you know, off season gonna be tough. But I think for.
Speaker 1: Getting Jimmy miss season, well you telling me miss season
Speaker 1: was not the All Star Game?
Speaker 2: Did you say yes? Okay?
Speaker 1: So like getting him towards the telling this season, uh
Speaker 1: and working that chemistry. But also I think it was
Speaker 1: a learning and discovery thing for Steve Kurr as will
Speaker 1: because you had Jonathan Kaminga, you had ya had you
Speaker 1: had a I like to say, like had a competitive
Speaker 1: team and young talent was emerging. Now you look at
Speaker 1: you know, comingus playing the playoffs in Houston. Also in
Speaker 1: the Minnesota series, you know, the young guys being able
Speaker 1: to with Steph coming up, with Steph not being able
Speaker 1: to close out that last series, with the young guys
Speaker 1: being able to assume on them all those minutes, It's
Speaker 1: gonna breed a lot of maturity for them, right Talking
Speaker 1: about the words future, looking at next season, like what
Speaker 1: do you think is going to be the focus most importantly?
Speaker 1: You know, going into the summer that got to improve.
Speaker 2: Can't come back looking at the exact saying you're going
Speaker 2: into the summer you got to improve. So that's number one,
Speaker 2: and I think everyone will have that mindset. I think
Speaker 2: as far as the young guys go, when you get
Speaker 2: those opportunities, that can be a gift in the curse, right,
Speaker 2: Like you can get those opportunities sometimes before you may
Speaker 2: be ready for it, you know, But I think we
Speaker 2: all believe as NBA players that we're always ready for it,
Speaker 2: right the delusion in our minds as athletes, which is
Speaker 2: what allows us to make it to this point, because
Speaker 2: you have to have some sort of delusion in your
Speaker 2: mind and believing that you're one of the three hundred
Speaker 2: or four hundred best players in the world to play
Speaker 2: in this league. You have to have a little delusion
Speaker 2: in your mind to believe that. So we all have
Speaker 2: that thing in this league. Young guys will come in,
Speaker 2: including all of us that came in, and think you're
Speaker 2: ready for something before you are. That can be a
Speaker 2: gift in the curse in this league because you could
Speaker 2: have the potential to do something and not quite be
Speaker 2: ready in that moment, but you will then be judged
Speaker 2: off the moment as opposed to the potential, as opposed
Speaker 2: to if people never see you do it, then they'll
Speaker 2: just continue to say it's potential. But the potential could
Speaker 2: still be there even if you struggle in that moment. So,
Speaker 2: for instance, I think Brandon Pozewski struggled a bit in
Speaker 2: this series right now. I feel like his best game
Speaker 2: was probably the last game of the series, because he
Speaker 2: struggled right now today in year two, a little bit
Speaker 2: in the series against some guys who's been through it
Speaker 2: now And because he struggled, does that now mean that
Speaker 2: the potential isn't there because he struggled a bit in
Speaker 2: this moment, or after year two and having that moment,
Speaker 2: does he now say, oh, Okay, they did X, Y,
Speaker 2: and Z to me in this series that made me struggle.
Speaker 2: Now I know that now I can go get better
Speaker 2: and improve up on that thing sum for you. And
Speaker 2: then what an organization has to decide is do I
Speaker 2: believe that that guy is going to do that work? Right?
Speaker 2: I've been playing with her for two years now, I
Speaker 2: know he's one of the guys that will do that work.
Speaker 2: I actually got a text from him earlier today asking me,
Speaker 2: what do you think I need to improve up on
Speaker 2: this summer? Right?
Speaker 5: Like?
Speaker 2: That is the type of kid that he is and
Speaker 2: young man. I'm not gonna call him a kid. He's
Speaker 2: a young man. But that's the type of young man
Speaker 2: he is. He works, he and so his thing like
Speaker 2: what do I need to do? What did you see
Speaker 2: that I need to be better at that I could
Speaker 2: do to improve up on myself next year? Right? And
Speaker 2: so when I look at our young guys, they all
Speaker 2: show promise, They all grew from where they were last year.
Speaker 2: And so will every single one of them be back
Speaker 2: on this team next year just off short numbers in
Speaker 2: the way this business work, probably not, That's what every
Speaker 2: team in the NBA, That's just what it is. But
Speaker 2: I do think all of our young guys from VP Moses, JK, Trace,
Speaker 2: Guie Santos, Quinn posts, the list goes on and on.
Speaker 2: I think all of them show that they improved, They
Speaker 2: showed promise, and in order to do that, they've shown
Speaker 2: work ethic. Where does it all shake out going into
Speaker 2: next year? Who knows? Man, this business you can just
Speaker 2: you can never be so sure, right, Like you're going
Speaker 2: to have to evaluate Jonathan right, Like we all know
Speaker 2: his talent, we all know what we believe, we all
Speaker 2: believe he could be. But now you have to make
Speaker 2: a huge financial commitment, Like it won't be JK at
Speaker 2: whatever his number is now, like, it's a huge financial
Speaker 2: So that has to look different for everybody, right, that
Speaker 2: has to look different for JK first and foremost. He's
Speaker 2: the athlete, right Like, he's the one that got to
Speaker 2: do the work. He the one that got to sign
Speaker 2: a contract, So it has to look different for him
Speaker 2: first and foremost. Right from an organizational standpoint, all of
Speaker 2: that stuff has to come together. And I love Jk's
Speaker 2: answer in this press conference. He said, Listen, we all
Speaker 2: gotta sit down and we gotta figure it out. It's
Speaker 2: gonna take a while to figure it out. Free agency
Speaker 2: does take a while. It's gonna take a while to
Speaker 2: figure this out, he said. But I appreciate coach Kirk
Speaker 2: because he's helped me get here where I am at.
Speaker 2: And man, that's such a responsible, great well thought answer
Speaker 2: because trust because it's true, like has it always gone
Speaker 2: the way you wanted to go? No, But that's probably
Speaker 2: with ninety nine percent of basketball players in the NBA.
Speaker 2: If you talk to a guy, most guys are gonna
Speaker 2: tell you I could do more of this. They don't
Speaker 2: let me Like, that's just the nature of what we do. Right,
Speaker 2: So we all have our trials and tribulation, our peaks
Speaker 2: in our valleys, right, his value was more on frontreet
Speaker 2: for everybody. Yes, but we all have our peaks in
Speaker 2: our valleys. And the reality is what he said is correct.
Speaker 2: I love the way he handled it. One thing's for certain.
Speaker 2: I said, this is my ex interview. Whether it's here
Speaker 2: or somewhere else, he gonna get paid and he's gonna
Speaker 2: have a very bright future. So I don't think he
Speaker 2: has anything to worry about. Everybody knows what he's capable of.
Speaker 2: He will get paid here or he will get paid
Speaker 2: somewhere else. That's it, and that's all. And so I
Speaker 2: think the future for him is as bright as as
Speaker 2: ever been.
Speaker 1: Earlier this season, you talked about guaranteeing the championship. You
Speaker 1: know you guys, I believe, and I'm not making excuses.
Speaker 1: I think you know, with Steph, you had a good chance,
Speaker 1: so you know you put yourself in an elite category.
Speaker 1: Earlier this season as well, Steph mentioned about the last ride, right,
Speaker 1: and then he recently mentioned that he wants the ride
Speaker 1: to last as long as possible.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 1: So now with Jimmy right now headed into the offseason,
Speaker 1: are you back in this championship? Pedigree or championship guaranteed pedigree,
Speaker 1: because it wasn't kat right now, that was speaking from
Speaker 1: what you guys felt, and earlier in the season it
Speaker 1: was more so we just want to have an opportunity.
Speaker 1: And then now it's different, right Ah, Yeah, I think
Speaker 1: it's definitely different. I think, you know, our mindset going
Speaker 1: into next year will be that going into every year.
Speaker 1: I think every team say, yo, we want to compute
Speaker 1: for a championship, and you know when that shar really
Speaker 1: when it's not.
Speaker 2: In the reality for most people, I personally believe wholeheartedly
Speaker 2: and we all do that we will be right there
Speaker 2: next year giving ourself a shot at it, just like
Speaker 2: we was giving ourselves a shot out. We gave our
Speaker 2: shot our self a shot at it this year, and
Speaker 2: I think we will retool and make the roster make
Speaker 2: even more sense and come back. And also I think
Speaker 2: another thing that I'm looking forward to is we get
Speaker 2: to play a whole year, so we come out, we
Speaker 2: can take care of business and we ain't got to
Speaker 2: play catch up all year, you know, Like for the
Speaker 2: we've been in the playoffs since February, like every game
Speaker 2: mattering in tensity level, like we've been in the playoffs
Speaker 2: since February just to get to the moment. And so
Speaker 2: I think for us now being able to go through
Speaker 2: a full season and obviously you need to stay healthy
Speaker 2: and all of those things, like, we can put ourselves
Speaker 2: in better position to be successful. And I think, you
Speaker 2: know that's that'll be big for us. But the goals
Speaker 2: will be the goals, which is going coming out of
Speaker 2: competing and trying to win a championship. That will be
Speaker 2: our goal. One thousand percent. I do believe we are
Speaker 2: capable of. I stand on that one hundred percent. So
Speaker 2: you know, Jimmy, Steph, myself, we'll all be in the weeds,
Speaker 2: you know, trying to make it all make sense, you know,
Speaker 2: for what we believe we need, what it needs to
Speaker 2: look like, we'll be in the weeds. So yeah, right
Speaker 2: back out of man.
Speaker 1: And if y'all want to include me, I'm up, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, for assistant to the assistant GM. And if
Speaker 1: I would to put my GM hat on just sandwich
Speaker 1: on knee, I would say, you just need dynamic athleticism,
Speaker 1: and you need somebody with some game.
Speaker 2: Like somebody like you.
Speaker 1: Need somebody that's you know, you need that that wild
Speaker 1: card score that threat that whether he's six eight and
Speaker 1: get to the hole. Just somebody who's just a scoring
Speaker 1: machine to the basket catch three. Just somebody who just
Speaker 1: hey man, if this dude get hot, we definitely win it.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 1: And then I would say dynamic athleticism, right, six' ten,
Speaker 1: versatility seven foot shot blocker that can run to the
Speaker 1: rim and. Dump just a few little pieces like, that
Speaker 1: because when you think about, now the way the league
Speaker 1: is transitioning is getting back to the, bigs is getting
Speaker 1: back to the dominant power, force is getting back to
Speaker 1: second chance shots are the shots that are gonna beat.
Speaker 1: You so long, threes you know a lot of threes long,
Speaker 1: rebeulds but second chance, points. Rebeulds that's that's always going
Speaker 1: to be the deciding. Factor AND i just think for The,
Speaker 1: warriors a little, small a little, slow, right, uh but
Speaker 1: elite talent and if you can mix some of that
Speaker 1: with you, know some hyperactivity and some strong, athleticism, uh
Speaker 1: and people that can get to the.
Speaker 2: Red y'all be on. Stop you talked.
Speaker 1: About getting into, weeds right, You Stephan jimmy getting in the.
Speaker 1: Weeds you don't do that usually or ever outside of THE.
Speaker 1: Kd you got in the, weeds GOT. Kd so when
Speaker 1: you Say.
Speaker 2: I'm getting in the, weeds uh, hmmm, yeah he was,
Speaker 2: conversation you, know because at the end of the, day
Speaker 2: when you're trying to compete for a, championship the front
Speaker 2: office may think they need to bring in a guy
Speaker 2: that you, know like, YOA i play against this guys
Speaker 2: like he ain't it you know What i'm. Saying so
Speaker 2: that's WHEN i, say, like you got to get into
Speaker 2: Wis like there's just something because, again LIKE i, SAID
Speaker 2: i think you, know we filled out the roster at the,
Speaker 2: top and so with that being one of the toughest,
Speaker 2: things like now you need guys you, know like, yo,
Speaker 2: man when we play against this, GUY i love when
Speaker 2: when they bring that when that team bring that guy
Speaker 2: on the, quarter now we're gonna go sign, Him like,
Speaker 2: nah you don't want that, guy you. Know and so
Speaker 2: WHEN i say get in the, weeds like that's WHAT i,
Speaker 2: mean like you gotta give some input at times because
Speaker 2: what can be seen from the stands or what can
Speaker 2: be seen from some, numbers and it ain't always what it.
Speaker 2: Seems when you're trying to compete for a.
Speaker 1: Championship and sometimes the dude, think, hey you know that
Speaker 1: plays great against, you and you, know maybe the dude
Speaker 1: y'all looking for is sitting on somebody bitch that's super
Speaker 1: talented and playing behind one of these one or two.
Speaker 1: Scores the league is full of, scores and the league
Speaker 1: is full of versatile.
Speaker 2: Scores AND i.
Speaker 1: Think the ability to bring someone into the game that
Speaker 1: can get their own money and get money for other
Speaker 1: people just by, default, right it's going to be a
Speaker 1: game changer for you, guys because you already have highly,
Speaker 1: talented skilled guys that can catch and shoe penetrating. Shoe you,
Speaker 1: know y'all learning how to make place for each. Other
Speaker 1: but you meet that one dude that's, like, man if
Speaker 1: he paul fake and get to the middle of the,
Speaker 1: pay he gonna try and dunk or finish or do something.
Speaker 2: Different, Right you need you need.
Speaker 1: Kind of like a counter so the attack is not
Speaker 1: the same guyet every. Time and that's where that's Where i'm,
Speaker 1: thinking like someone six say six' nine and really get
Speaker 1: out of here and.
Speaker 2: Put some points on. The board and that's how it
Speaker 2: was a comp, For somebody because, to me it sounds
Speaker 2: like you're explaining like. A superstar so who who is
Speaker 2: a comp of someone you're, speaking.
Speaker 1: LIKE if i were to comp like on the, GUARD
Speaker 1: side i say like someone.
Speaker 2: Like A, lou will Like A Lou, lou.
Speaker 1: Wills like somebody who can just is just dynamic at
Speaker 1: getting their.
Speaker 2: Own money give him, the ball get out.
Speaker 1: The way if, he cooks we win every time because
Speaker 1: he know How To who AND then i say on
Speaker 1: the on the, other side like who who is The
Speaker 1: next Pascal? Siaka mark who is the next kind of uh.
Speaker 2: Make forty five?
Speaker 1: Million, dollars, no, No no i'm saying that there's a young
Speaker 1: dude that plays like that on one of, these, Teams,
Speaker 1: right uh some of these young Dudes, on, Portland right
Speaker 1: charlotte got, a, couple well you know, YOUNG dudes i
Speaker 1: say on the, guard Side Like. Trey man if y'all

Speaker 1: Sims Or, mitchell robinson somebody that's just got The Dude
Speaker 1: the lakers didn't Walk the charlotte Kid Like.
Speaker 2: Mark, wi yeah.
Speaker 1: Somebody big just you need a big athletic person that
Speaker 1: can come in and play a lot of a lot of, junk,
Speaker 1: minutes right and a lot of glue minutes because they'll
Speaker 1: be able to get. A duck, you know they have
Speaker 1: a big game, eighteen rebounds, fourteen rebounds then they kind
Speaker 1: of take a lot of pressure off of the impact
Speaker 1: that you're gonna have on your body.
Speaker 2: Next YEAR so i would bring in a bunch of young.
Speaker 1: Athletic dudes on top of the YOUNG dudes, i got
Speaker 1: but just kind of like dynamic talent that can just
Speaker 1: be the force y'all need to get through. The seasons

Speaker 2: didn't your life's work didn't leave you lead you to
Speaker 2: having that moment to, Be somebody so it won't be
Speaker 2: given to you. By me THE reason i made the
Speaker 2: Angry black man's statement was actually stemming. From that whereas
Speaker 2: when we started that series in game one and even
Speaker 2: Since Post rudy gobert incident, that happened which by, THE
Speaker 2: way i was happy to Play Against rudy gobert in
Speaker 2: a series because respect is game and earned or lost
Speaker 2: in a, playoff series and we've had, our INSTANCES and
Speaker 2: i was happy to stand face to face with the
Speaker 2: man and gain respect where, respect was where there was
Speaker 2: an opportunity for respect to, be EARNED because i am
Speaker 2: a firm believer in respect is earned during, playoff series
Speaker 2: and he, earned it AND so i was happy to have.
Speaker 2: That moment but it's saying That Post rudy, gobert incident
Speaker 2: The reception i've Gotten in minnesota has not been that
Speaker 2: bad and as not near as BAD as i actually
Speaker 2: thought it. Would Be so game, one happens and nothing
Speaker 2: right like the reception and they bowed a, little bit
Speaker 2: not really like nah like it wasn't. Hardly anything and
Speaker 2: then we go into game TWO and i get the
Speaker 2: bullshit tech and, number one my Shoulder hit na's. Red
Speaker 2: face But if i'm been down trying to make a
Speaker 2: passing your humbered above ME and i, lift up my
Speaker 2: shoulder's gonna hit you in. The face that is just
Speaker 2: impossible not to unless he is like translucent and my
Speaker 2: shoulders just like skims through. His face without the, physical
Speaker 2: presence it. Is NOT so i get the, bullshit tech
Speaker 2: and THE reason i was upset Is because i've gotten
Speaker 2: the same bullshit Tech From tony brothers before and and,
Speaker 2: to me THE reason i was so upset AND why
Speaker 2: i Said the Angry black man is because from me getting, that,

Speaker 1: Energy charge it's it's it's almost like, an, Advantage right
Speaker 1: and the more that you can we are to wind
Speaker 1: that into like this peaceful moment of being like a
Speaker 1: true assassin where it matches, your skill it matches your,
Speaker 1: basketball intellect then you got a brand that part Because Like, Kobe,
Speaker 1: bryant hey Everybody Brom kobe bryant was angry if, you
Speaker 1: scored if he didn't get, the ball if he. Didn't score,
Speaker 1: you know it's like you get to that level Of
Speaker 1: a Mamba. Or, steph right these people are like they're
Speaker 1: just as crazy and in saying because all they're thinking
Speaker 1: about is cancelation and they have the.
Speaker 2: Ability and the skill and the talent to.
Speaker 1: Annihilate you so you have to be thinking like that
Speaker 1: to time of all those things charge.
Speaker 2: You up let's move on to leave before we get out, of,
Speaker 2: here man We got, game seven Them Versus okay see
Speaker 2: spent a. Great series joker. Been Delivering julian strauter stepped
Speaker 2: up last Game, for denver but he was. At home,
Speaker 2: you know role players do play better. At home so
Speaker 2: you Know lou dort stepped up the game, before that
Speaker 2: have To help okayse pull out. Game, five now role
Speaker 2: players do play better. At Home so, Game seven Joker,
Speaker 2: Versus shay you've got and, why shit you Know what
Speaker 2: i'm gonna. Go With, OKAY see.
Speaker 1: I think murray had a really Good game, game SIX
Speaker 1: and i Look at DENVER and i Look At jamal
Speaker 1: murray like he's going to have a forty thirty point
Speaker 1: game in. The series if he can, get two, You
Speaker 1: know denver got. A chance i don't think this. GAME
Speaker 1: seven i don't think this Is A Jamal murray. GAME
Speaker 1: seven i think it's gonna, be. Tight right people are going,
Speaker 1: to be, you know really having to work. For shots
Speaker 1: and at the end of, the day like, you said
Speaker 1: role players play better. At home, GAME seven I think
Speaker 1: okay se wins a, close one but it's just hard
Speaker 1: to Go against joker Because if denver can keep, it close,
Speaker 1: you know anything is possible with that dud because he's getting.
Speaker 2: DOUBLE ted i agree, with you and role players do
Speaker 2: play better, at home except this is. Game seven. Anything
Speaker 2: GOES and i think the role players for the away
Speaker 2: team in game seven ain't got nothing to lose because
Speaker 2: it's just. Game seven it's, game, seven like so you
Speaker 2: gotta shoot, that shot whereas OPPOSED to i think it
Speaker 2: actually flips. A bit the home role players in game
Speaker 2: seven gets a little tighter because you're supposed to make.
Speaker 2: The shot you, at home y'all supposed to win, game
Speaker 2: seven AND so I think okc needed to win game
Speaker 2: six after they win and took game five because they stole,
Speaker 2: game five they shouldn't have won. Game five IN, MY
Speaker 2: pi i thought down the stretch last four minutes for
Speaker 2: Five Minutes sha shay talking downhill like seven eight, minute
Speaker 2: mark but then down, To stretch ludar hit them big
Speaker 2: threes like they, stole One and denver have been winning
Speaker 2: the game the, whole, Game RIGHT so I think okac stole,
Speaker 2: game five you needed to come and capitalize on game
Speaker 2: six after you just. STOLE one i think now going
Speaker 2: into game seven, and flips the pressure is all on.
Speaker 2: Ok see and not only is the PRESSURE on okc
Speaker 2: because they're the ONE ce a they've been this great
Speaker 2: ALL year b but there's also, no pressure less Pressure
Speaker 2: on denver because they've done. It before like if, they
Speaker 2: lose they just. Go home but, Guess what joker goes
Speaker 2: Back to serbia AS an nba, Champion still jamal goes
Speaker 2: Back to toronto AS an nba, champion, Still right Like
Speaker 2: So aaron gordon goes back To what california or he's,
Speaker 2: from HERE but i don't know if he, lives here
Speaker 2: but AS an nba. Champion Still christian brown goes Back
Speaker 2: To lawrence school AS an nba, champion still so they
Speaker 2: don't have. The pressure we gotta, do, it man and
Speaker 2: everybody thought we'd, Do it Whereas, OKAY see i actually
Speaker 2: have that pressure. As WELL so i just think all
Speaker 2: the pressure flips to, Okay see and on top of
Speaker 2: all the pressure flipping to, OK see i think when
Speaker 2: it all boils down, to it even outside of, The
Speaker 2: pressure denver. Know how they've been in. These moments they've
Speaker 2: been in these game, sevens jokers been in these Games
Speaker 2: Seven Jamal Aaron, Gordon russ they've been in these game,
Speaker 2: sevens man and they got to. Know how AND so
Speaker 2: i just think with the pressure flipping to, Okay see
Speaker 2: denver gonna come in cool as, a fan that rim
Speaker 2: get a, little smaller you Know what. I'm saying And
Speaker 2: so i'm gonna Roll with denver on.
Speaker 1: This, one yeah if, It's, closed denver okay s gotta blow.
Speaker 2: Them OUT but, i, think, okay okay she got. That.
Speaker 1: Talent man if they can get out and can get
Speaker 1: a ten, point lead ten to twelve, point lead it's
Speaker 1: gonna be Hard for denver to come BACK because, i
Speaker 1: Think okay see just got the crowd they got they
Speaker 1: got multiple TALENTED dudes i can.
Speaker 2: Step up so it's been a Good serious. Game seven
Speaker 2: i'm looking forward. To It.

Speaker 1: lands you don't know what it's like in between. These,
Speaker 1: lines man give it. A break dudes who quit football
Speaker 1: early to pursue media taking, mental toughness talking, mental toughness cut.
Speaker 1: It out then o chall had a whole video saying that,
Speaker 1: you know when you respect, the game and you have
Speaker 1: a respect for, the game you're able to chime in and.
Speaker 1: Give opinions and then he went off for kt on
Speaker 1: the leadership saying kat didn't want to be. A leader
Speaker 1: he quoted him on that and tried to bring. IT
Speaker 1: back i don't know if you've been. Paying attention, you
Speaker 1: know you just got off.
Speaker 2: Of work what was.
Speaker 1: Your thought on, the exchange especially since he's Talking about
Speaker 1: katie leadership during his years With.
Speaker 2: The warriors my thoughts on the, exchange, Was Like jason
Speaker 2: tatum IS an nba champion and a two time, gold
Speaker 2: medalist but even more so than In the olympic. Gold MEDICINE,
Speaker 2: and i by THE way i went Through the Olympics With. Jason,
Speaker 2: tatum mentally it wasn't. The easiest like you're stuck in
Speaker 2: a Hotel, in tokyo cannot go outside for three and
Speaker 2: a half weeks unless you're going to, the gym having,
Speaker 2: to win like the whole world, on YOU and jt
Speaker 2: played a much bigger role In that olympics than he
Speaker 2: did this passble having to when while Everybody in america
Speaker 2: is saying you're. Gonna lose why y'all? Gonna lose how
Speaker 2: y'all not? Good enough You got americans Rooting against america In.
Speaker 2: The olympics you turn On an american talk show and
Speaker 2: they're CRUSHING The usa. Olympic team So to, kd's point
Speaker 2: out ruining, THE sport i Get what kd's. GOING at
Speaker 2: I was kd was also on that team, as well
Speaker 2: but even more SO The nba championship Than, the olympics
Speaker 2: because somebody, will, say oh you're ON. Team USA team usa,
Speaker 2: always win as if it's. Not Hard so i'll just
Speaker 2: kill that argument. For YOU An nba championship requires a
Speaker 2: level of mental toughness that most people have. No idea it,
Speaker 2: even requires you, KNOW why i want to get there
Speaker 2: to understand understand that they, like you didn't get there to.
Speaker 2: Do it you gotta. Get, There yeah and so To
Speaker 2: Say jason tatum doesn't have mental toughness, for me it
Speaker 2: just don't Work Because jason tatum IS an. Nba champion
Speaker 2: and so to try to make, a point because you
Speaker 2: can't say they're a better Team Without, Jason tatum you're
Speaker 2: just going to look like a. Complete idiot if you.
Speaker 2: Say that so to find something to try to make
Speaker 2: that statement to me is.
Speaker 4: Kind.
Speaker 2: Of whack it actually puts you in a position to
Speaker 2: be spoke to The way katie spoke. About you and
Speaker 2: NOW that, i, think oh because you, play football you can't,
Speaker 2: talk BASKETBALL because i don't, believe that BUT because I
Speaker 2: thought oho made great points. About it you, study something
Speaker 2: that's all our. League is are like some front officers
Speaker 2: in our league are people that study numbers and then
Speaker 2: learn the game. Of, Basketball, right SO like i Agree,
Speaker 2: with ocho you can study the game and. Learn, it
Speaker 2: however to start talking mental toughness would be implying that
Speaker 2: you know the mental toughness that it takes to do,
Speaker 2: that thing and you don't, Know that like you don't
Speaker 2: know the level of mental toughness that it takes in
Speaker 2: order to WIN an nba championship in order to be
Speaker 2: the most important player or second most important player or
Speaker 2: third most important player ON the nba. Championship team you
Speaker 2: don't know the level of mental toughness that. It takes
Speaker 2: so the take becomes very hot just on, that alone
Speaker 2: because you just made this about mental toughness and you
Speaker 2: can't speak, to that like not because you're a, football
Speaker 2: player but you don't know the level of mental toughness
Speaker 2: that it takes to win, a, championship period because you
Speaker 2: also didn't win a. Football one so it's not that
Speaker 2: you can't speak because. Of football you were football and.
Speaker 2: Not basketball it's just that when you start making it
Speaker 2: about a, specific thing this time being, mental toughness you
Speaker 2: don't know, that level and so it's hard to hear
Speaker 2: you speak. On it but even if you do speak,
Speaker 2: on it it's hard to hear it and, like agree
Speaker 2: even just to, simply Agree Because jason tatum IS an
Speaker 2: nba champion as the face of, A franchise like he's
Speaker 2: not JUST an nba champion That became he's the face
Speaker 2: of an entire franchise and BECAME an, Nba champion And
Speaker 2: so i'm not hearing the mental toughness like that don't work.
Speaker 2: With me now to GO at kd and question his
Speaker 2: leadership and all that they've been questioning the same thing. For, years,
Speaker 2: fine legacy he is, a star, a legend a got
Speaker 2: a Champion of olympic gold medalist three times or four
Speaker 2: times one of the two four times? Four times like
Speaker 2: like you can't you can't Go at. Kd's games so
Speaker 2: you start talking about, a leadership that's what, people, do
Speaker 2: right and, so listen they're back, and forth is what.
Speaker 2: IT is i just don't really understand trying to the
Speaker 2: whole like people be trying to like dapping people legacy.
Speaker 2: Like that that. To, ME yeah KD is kd point.
Speaker 2: Bank period if there's anything that if you need, to
Speaker 2: see it's. Simply put there's a video out there where,
Speaker 2: he said you KNOW who? I am you KNOW who?
Speaker 2: I am y'all know what y'all KNOW who? I, Am RIGHT.
Speaker 2: I'm kd like there couldn't be anything out there in
Speaker 2: the world that can better sum this up. For you
Speaker 2: you KNOW who. I am you KNOW who, i, Am Y'ALL.
Speaker 2: I'm Kd so i'm not in. The whole you like
Speaker 2: you can't talk football because you, don't play or you can't.
Speaker 2: TALK basketball i don't. Believe that but to start talking,
Speaker 2: mental toughness that would to me you, lose me or start, talking.
Speaker 1: Leadership especially especially especially if you ain't. Mentally, tough yeah,
Speaker 1: LIKE that i can your comment on somebody's. Mental toughness
Speaker 1: like we say a lot of ship and sometimes like
Speaker 1: we don't know what, we said and he, was, saying
Speaker 1: oh like he questioned the, Mental toughness but what he
Speaker 1: was really trying to say Is Like jalen brown is
Speaker 1: a more mentally. Tough leader that's what he was trying.
Speaker 1: To say and the way he plays is like they shouldn't,
Speaker 1: lose anything they should gain something Because Now, jaylen brown
Speaker 1: he's the next leader up and they're gonna assume. His
Speaker 1: PERSONALITY but i just don't think that he understands what
Speaker 1: it means To Be, jason, tatum right and what it
Speaker 1: means To Be Jason. Jalen brown and when you talk
Speaker 1: about mental toughness and one plays, one way one plays the,
Speaker 1: other way he's still.
Speaker 2: A dog and ANOTHER thing i ain't Like about adobe
Speaker 2: d is why are you pitting two teammates against Each
Speaker 2: other like they're. Actually teammates they're supposed to complement. Each
Speaker 2: other if you Had Two, jalen browns it probably. Don't
Speaker 2: Work If Jaylen Brown, JASON tatum i am here to
Speaker 2: tell you they wouldn't be teammates. This long like it
Speaker 2: actually is strategically set up, that Way Like jason tatum
Speaker 2: to be one way And For jaylen brown to be.
Speaker 2: One way you know that it's Actually How brass stevens built.
Speaker 2: The team, Start Well, danny aimes But Then brad stevens to.
Speaker 2: Retool run it's actually set up for them to be
Speaker 2: two completely. Different players so again to try to pit
Speaker 2: them against, each other but in the, same, token say
Speaker 2: but he played this style and he played. That, style
Speaker 2: yeah He And steph curry don't play the. Same Style
Speaker 2: jimmy Butler And steph curry don't play the, same style
Speaker 2: because if any of, us did it probably. Doesn't work
Speaker 2: AND so i didn't understand that. Part either THAT part i,
Speaker 2: was like but why are we doing this? Thing again
Speaker 2: like it's him. Versus, him no those two guys are.
Speaker 2: Champions together they supposed to compliment. Each other that's how the.
Speaker 1: Game works and with That what, jay said, YOU know
Speaker 1: i don't do, the outros but we out THIS The J.
Speaker 1: Marsh Show that's Dramond With. Daron davis that's me until.
Speaker 1: Next time, DULL fans, nba fans, basketball fans keep rocking.
Speaker 2: With us we have.
Speaker 1: The volume mm hmm
