Speaker 4: I'm sorry that guy has fixed my car before I

00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:45,920
Speaker 4: swear here in Georgia that man has fixed my car.

9
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 4: I'm tas molus with me in the Classic Factory. A

10
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:53,600
Speaker 4: man who caught some fish this weekend question mark Trey Kirby. Heyo, Hey,

11
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 4: oh yeah, we didn't talk about it yesterday.

12
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 2: Thanks for bringing it up, man. Yeah. I held my

13
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 2: first bass of twenty three this year off my kayak.

14
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 2: The Ripping Lips had two other on. They got really

15
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 2: close and then shook my lure. Sad stuff, but I

16
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 2: was happy to land one on the boat.

17
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:13,759
Speaker 4: The kayak is named the Ripping Lips.

18
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 2: Absolutely every boat I own will be named the This

19
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 2: is just Ripping Lips one.

20
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:22,480
Speaker 4: It's a nice kayak. The lures out of each side.

21
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 4: It's pretty nice.

22
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:23,960
Speaker 3: Yeah.

23
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 2: Feel free to tweet at me for recommendations for any

24
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 2: fisherman kayaks you need out there, all right, I was

25
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 2: hoping to come out to John's Creek someday. Actually, see

26
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 2: what you guys got in your creek.

27
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 4: We got some fish in that creek making the magic

28
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:38,319
Speaker 4: happen over there. It's Ashua, kid. What's up?

29
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:39,320
Speaker 5: Ash I all doing?

30
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 4: We're doing great. We'll talk about your Celtics in a sec. First,

31
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:46,959
Speaker 4: you know, a little house keeping, no skeets today. He

32
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 4: is completing his Canadian military obligations there quick though. You

33
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 4: know we don't like war up there, so he'll be

34
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 4: back tomorrow. Actually, he'll be back tonight when we're watching

35
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 4: the draft lottery. To get the other on playback, watch along,

36
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 4: listen to our commentary during the broadcast. It's free. We'll

37
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,800
Speaker 4: jump on at seven forty five Eastern. It starts at eight.

38
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 4: Will we stay on for game one or the Western

39
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:12,800
Speaker 4: Conference Finals? TBD?

40
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,519
Speaker 2: Maybe these guys will get excited. I'm excited. Foals and

41
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 2: Raptors play tonight. Exciting man, Big Gabe.

42
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 4: Draft's got one percent chance. So hit that description below.

43
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 4: It's on all our social channels, playback, dot tv, slash

44
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 4: no dunks. All right, we will get to your incredible

45
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 4: beach questions a little bit later on. We'll predict who's

46
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 4: gonna win the draft lottery. Some great questions like would

47
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:40,519
Speaker 4: you rather have Luka Doncic or the number one draft pick?

48
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 4: Thought that was an interesting.

49
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 2: Question, question, great question.

50
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:48,639
Speaker 4: Okay, But first, as we said, the Eastern Conference Finals

51
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 4: are here. It's time to preview and predict them. The

52
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 4: number two seeded Celtics versus the number eight seeded Heat

53
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,799
Speaker 4: only the second time a number eight seed has gotten

54
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,639
Speaker 4: this far. The ninety nine Nicks got all the way

55
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 4: to the finals. And it's the third time in four

56
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 4: years that these two teams are meeting in the Eastern

57
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 4: Conference Finals. Twenty twenty. Bubble Heat did it in six.

58
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 4: Last year, the Celtics overcame the Heat in seven. It

59
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 4: was a very very very close series that came down

60
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 4: to the wire. The Celtics are massive favorites in this series.

61
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 4: Does not feel right. This doesn't feel right that they

62
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 4: should be favorites, but the way the Heat are playing.

63
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,080
Speaker 4: But them's the lines. Let's take a quick look at

64
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 4: the Eastern Conference schedule. They get underway Wednesday every second day,

65
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 4: all at eight thirty Eastern on TNT. Every single game.

66
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 4: So if you're a person of routine, you gotta be

67
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 4: happy with this.

68
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 2: I think Western Conference Finals are eight thirty pm Eastern as.

69
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 4: Well, exactly. Y. Yeah, they're one little switch up on

70
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 4: the TV on the Western Conference Finals, but basically the

71
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 4: exact same thing. Yeah, eight thirty exactly every single night.

72
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 4: All right, Trey, So let's get into previewing this thing.

73
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 4: What's one thing to watch between the Celtics and the Heat.

74
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 2: Well, first and foremost, I just got to wish my

75
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 2: sister a happy anniversary because I was watching Game seven

76
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 2: of Heat Celtics at her wedding reception last year. Crazy

77
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 2: to think it's come around once again. Crazy to think

78
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:16,920
Speaker 2: that the Boston fans, I know some I've seen on Twitter,

79
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 2: we're kind of happy to avoid play in the Miami

80
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 2: Heat in round one of the playoffs, and now suddenly

81
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 2: they're meeting in the conference finals again. These don't feel

82
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,719
Speaker 2: like the two most dominant teams in the Eastern Conference

83
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 2: over the past four seasons, but I guess they are,

84
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:35,919
Speaker 2: since they just keep making the finals in the conference finals.

85
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:39,280
Speaker 2: So weird stuff, But this is a legitimate rivalry here.

86
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 2: If you meet up in the playoffs that many times,

87
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 2: it really matters. So for me, the question, the biggest

88
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:46,359
Speaker 2: question in the series is who's going to be the

89
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,040
Speaker 2: best player because it comes down to me, Jimmy Butler

90
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,720
Speaker 2: or Jason Tatum. Both of them have had fifty point

91
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:55,040
Speaker 2: games in huge spots in this playoffs. Both have carried

92
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:58,119
Speaker 2: their teams to wins in the postseason that they probably

93
00:04:58,120 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 2: should have lost. They're probably going to guard each o

94
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:03,279
Speaker 2: a little bit sometimes. The question I have for Jimmy

95
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 2: Butler is he going to fatigue from really carrying this

96
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 2: team through three rounds of the playoffs. The Celtics have

97
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:13,160
Speaker 2: other creators in Jalen Brown, Marcus Smart, Malcolm Brogen, Derek White,

98
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,280
Speaker 2: other guys who can make things happen with the ball

99
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 2: in their hands. Jimmy has a much bigger load to

100
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 2: carry than Jason Tatum does because he's gonna have to

101
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 2: be their primary scorer, their primary playmaker. BAM's a good

102
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,920
Speaker 2: secondary playmaker, Lowry still got it sometimes, gave Vincent can

103
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 2: do some things. But Jimmy's got to be the guy

104
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:31,359
Speaker 2: obviously for the Heat. For Jason Tatum, I wonder if

105
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 2: he's gonna be able to figure out the Heat's defense

106
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 2: because he's going to see a lot of different defenders.

107
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 2: He's going to see a ton of different coverages. There's

108
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 2: gonna be zones, and it's gonna change quite a bit.

109
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 2: We know that the Heat at some point will try

110
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 2: and take the ball out of his hands. We know

111
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 2: he's going to have to hit some side step threes.

112
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 2: There's just a lot of things that Jason Tatum's gonna

113
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 2: need to do. And we've seen him have a fifty

114
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 2: one point game in a Game seven, he put together

115
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 2: five great quarters to close out the sixers, and even

116
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 2: in that Game six when he was struggling, he was

117
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 2: doing so much else out on the court to contribute

118
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:00,600
Speaker 2: to winning. So he can he can do a bunch

119
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 2: of stuff on the court. The Celtics are going to

120
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:03,839
Speaker 2: need him to do a ton on the court, and

121
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 2: he's really got to limit the turnovers because that's how

122
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 2: the Heat can generate some pretty efficient offense getting ount

123
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 2: in transition. So that's going to be an awesome matchup

124
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 2: to watch Jimmy and Jason.

125
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 4: I like how your biggest question pertains to the two

126
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 4: biggest players, because mine also pertains to the two biggest

127
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 4: players in a different way. Because Jimmy Butler was phenomenal

128
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:26,479
Speaker 4: in Round one, as we know, scoring the ball, ridiculous numbers,

129
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:30,159
Speaker 4: ridiculous numbers, thirty seven and a half points, sixty percent,

130
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 4: shooting forty four from three, almost five assists. But he

131
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 4: did drop off in round two in terms of scoring.

132
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 4: He was like you mentioned about Jason Tatum in game six.

133
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:42,279
Speaker 4: He was doing a lot of other stuff, huge boards,

134
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:46,719
Speaker 4: huge blocks, huge steals, but his scoring dropped off considerably,

135
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 4: and I wonder if it is because of the ankle injury.

136
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,160
Speaker 4: He missed a game because of an ankle injury. He

137
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 4: limped off after winning the series against the New York Knicks.

138
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:55,840
Speaker 4: He was limping around in the locker room. But his

139
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 4: numbers went from thirty seven points to twenty four points,

140
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:02,480
Speaker 4: sixty percent to forty three percent, forty four percent from

141
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 4: three down to eleven percent. So big drop offs from

142
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 4: round one to round two. And I do think he

143
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 4: has to be closer to round one, as you said,

144
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 4: because the Celtics are just gonna guard all those support

145
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 4: players a little bit better, uh than the Knicks were

146
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 4: able to. They're just very very good on that end.

147
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 4: So he has to he has to jump up a

148
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 4: little bit. The Sporting cast obviously got it done against

149
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 4: the New York Knicks, there's no doubt. But also Jimmy's

150
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 4: got a really tough task in this series. There's no

151
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 4: there's no breaks. He's probably gonna have to guard Jalen Brown.

152
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 4: Just the way the things break out, He's probably gonna

153
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 4: be guarded by Jalen Brown or you know the whole

154
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 4: glut of guys that you just mentioned. So watching that ankle,

155
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 4: watching seat to see how much he can score, because

156
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 4: I just think he didn't wanna and wasn't able to

157
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 4: score the same way. Again, he was contributing in other ways,

158
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 4: but I wonder how much the ankle is bothering him,

159
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 4: how much they're gonna try and crowd him on that

160
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 4: end and the other end Jason Tatum, as you said,

161
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 4: how are the Heat gonna guard him? Because last year

162
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 4: they had PJ. Talker on him, a solid matchup for him.

163
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 4: This year during the regular season, had Caleb Martin on him.

164
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 4: But now he comes off the bench. Will they insert

165
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 4: him into the starting lineup over Kevin Love. It's a possibility,

166
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 4: But I wonder if the Celtics go to their two

167
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 4: big lineups that they finished last round with. They like

168
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 4: the Rob and the Al Horford Rob Williams and Al

169
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 4: Horford starting, then you can put Kevin Love out there,

170
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 4: and that adds some space for Jimmy Drives. I think

171
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:33,440
Speaker 4: that's important. But the matchups are gonna be crazy. Eric

172
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 4: spots just gonna have so much fun out there. Because

173
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,840
Speaker 4: let's say Rob Williams and Al Horford start, Love probably

174
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 4: Stay stays in. I think you'll see Gabe Vincent on

175
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 4: Jason Tatum to start, and it sounds a little nuts.

176
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 4: It's not gonna be Strue, It's not gonna be Jimmy.

177
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 4: So I think if you got Love and at a

178
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 4: bio starting, I think it's gonna be Vincent. Or if

179
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 4: Love goes to the bench, Martin probably starts on Tatum,

180
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 4: Butler on Brown, at a bio on Robert Williams, and

181
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:02,560
Speaker 4: then Vincent on smarts on Horford, which the Celtics do.

182
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 4: So this is just a wild matchup time and Spolser's

183
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 4: gonna revel and he's gonna love it. And that's and

184
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 4: that's the advantage that many people think the Heat have

185
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 4: is just the coaching that they can mix and match

186
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 4: on the Heat side, the experience that they have. But

187
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 4: the Celtics up and down on paper at least are

188
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 4: the better team, but the Heat continue to prove that

189
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 4: their supporting cast has just kind of come through no

190
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:28,080
Speaker 4: matter what.

191
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Celtics are definitely the most talented team. That's

192
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 2: why they are such a big favorite in this series

193
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 2: and why they're the championship favorite for the four teams

194
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 2: that are remaining, because they've been one of the best

195
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,440
Speaker 2: teams in the league for the entire year. But you're right.

196
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 2: The Spolstra versus Missoula matchup a coaching matchup. Are they

197
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:47,200
Speaker 2: guarding each other? I don't know, but it's definitely tilted

198
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 2: towards Eric Spolstra. But you're one hundred percent right. The

199
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 2: fifth starter is like the adjustment spot right now, because

200
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 2: you can foresee a world where the Celtics decide they

201
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:58,600
Speaker 2: want to start Derek White like they did for the

202
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 2: majority of the season. They for the first five games

203
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:04,959
Speaker 2: in the last series, he was really good against the

204
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 2: Atlanta Hawks. He really struggled against the Philadelphia seventy six ers.

205
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 2: But he'd be a nice option against Jimmy Butler, I think,

206
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:15,199
Speaker 2: And in that case, there's really nobody for Kevin Love

207
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 2: to guard. If the Celtics decided to go small. But

208
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 2: if they want Robert Williams to start, and it seemed

209
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:22,079
Speaker 2: like the players were pretty happy that he was back

210
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:24,720
Speaker 2: in the starting lineup, then Jalen Brown has to guard

211
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 2: Jimmy Butler and that's a lot more of an ask

212
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 2: from him. And you know, maybe Kevin Love gets some

213
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 2: easy shots. So I'll be interested to see who's the

214
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:33,319
Speaker 2: starting power forwards for both of these teams.

215
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 4: That's a good call. All right, Let's move on the

216
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 4: X factor, as we always talk about in playoff series.

217
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:42,559
Speaker 4: Who is your X factor Trey For.

218
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:45,559
Speaker 2: The Celtics, it is Derek White. I think he had

219
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:48,080
Speaker 2: a case for the best player on the Celtics against

220
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:51,079
Speaker 2: the Hawks, seventeen points per game, four rebounds, three assists,

221
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:53,960
Speaker 2: three assists, shot fifty five percent from the field forty

222
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 2: five from three. But against Philadelphia, I thought he really

223
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 2: lost his confidence, kind of looked like the Derek White

224
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 2: we saw at the end of last season playoffs. Robert

225
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 2: Williams eventually took his starting spot. I don't know if

226
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 2: the reactions from Marcus smartin now Horford are what you

227
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 2: want to hear from Derek White when they're like, yes,

228
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 2: finally back to our great team. It means we have

229
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:14,079
Speaker 2: to send a guy to the bench, and Derek White

230
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 2: wasn't great against the Sixers nine points, three rebounds, one assists,

231
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 2: thirty nine percent from three and was definitely hesitant taking him.

232
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 2: They're going to need the good Derek White because the

233
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:26,840
Speaker 2: Heat are going to force the other players to make

234
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 2: shots and to make plays, and Derek White is a

235
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 2: capable guy. Malcolm Brogden has been the guy off the

236
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:35,319
Speaker 2: bench for the Celtics, but I think the fact that

237
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:38,560
Speaker 2: White may start maybe a sixth or seventh man, he's

238
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 2: got to have a big series for Boston.

239
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:43,320
Speaker 4: That's a good call. Yeah, him and Broggy as the

240
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 4: bench duo coming to bench guards or as you said,

241
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,199
Speaker 4: Derek White could be starting. I think those are the

242
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 4: X factors on the Celtic side. You're totally right. Brogden

243
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 4: even more so, I think because he'll be guarding Kyle Lowry,

244
00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 4: and Kyle Lowry has just been such a spark for

245
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 4: this Heat team that continuously produces incredible supporting cast play.

246
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 4: Brogden has shot well from three forty three and a

247
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 4: half in the playoffs, ridiculously good, and dealing with Lowry,

248
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 4: I think that's the biggest advantage. The biggest change that

249
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,439
Speaker 4: the Celtics have from last year. You can tell me, Esh,

250
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 4: you can tell me why the Celtics team is going

251
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:23,840
Speaker 4: to win. But I think Brogden playing Peyton Pritchard's minutes

252
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 4: that he had last year is just such a huge advantage. Now,

253
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 4: who knows what this Heat team, They just continuously produced guys,

254
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 4: But I think Brognan's going to be the biggest factor

255
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:38,840
Speaker 4: on that side. And on the other side, let's talk

256
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:41,239
Speaker 4: about the supporting cast for the Heat. I think Duncan Robinson,

257
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 4: along with Lowry off the bench, along with Caleb Martin

258
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 4: or High Smith or Cody Tayler, he is probably the

259
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:50,559
Speaker 4: biggest X factor because he's found a way to spread

260
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 4: the floor for those other guys to spread the floor

261
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 4: for Kyle Lowry to shoot forty two and a half percent.

262
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 4: It's ridiculous how he continuously hits threes, and the numbers

263
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 4: that the Heat are beating the other of their opponents

264
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 4: by when he's on the floor continue to go up

265
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:07,680
Speaker 4: and up. They're beating teams by sixteen point eight points

266
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 4: per hundred possessions when Duncan's on in the floor. They're

267
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:14,720
Speaker 4: really really it's a sup and number. Yeah, ridiculously. They're

268
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 4: using him so well, but they use him in spot minutes.

269
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:20,559
Speaker 4: They don't use him a ton off the bench. And

270
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 4: I wonder if the Celtics are going to hunt him

271
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:24,560
Speaker 4: every time down they're good at that, well, they hunt

272
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:30,079
Speaker 4: Kevin Love. It's an interesting x's and o's. Duncan has

273
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:32,479
Speaker 4: been so so good.

274
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 2: That's crazy. Man. The guy was lights out in the bubble,

275
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 2: got the huge contract and has been basically unplayable since

276
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:42,440
Speaker 2: until this playoffs, when suddenly he's a key member of

277
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:45,640
Speaker 2: the Heat once again, and his movement has been causing problems.

278
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 2: I think he's a big time expactor. I didn't realize

279
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 2: the splits were that ridiculous. It shouldn't be that good. No,

280
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:54,560
Speaker 2: that's too much for Duncan Robbinson. I think Kevin Love

281
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 2: is another X factor here. He needs to hit threes,

282
00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:00,679
Speaker 2: He needs to crash the offensive glass. Hit forty three

283
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 2: percent from three against Milwaukee, awesome. We would love to

284
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:05,720
Speaker 2: see that again for the Miami Heat twenty four percent

285
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 2: though against the Knicks kind of the flip flop of

286
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 2: things definitely came back down to earth. So if he's

287
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:13,560
Speaker 2: shooting well, you know, he'll kind of be the PJ

288
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 2: Tucker for the Phil PJ. Tucker took a bunch of

289
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 2: wide open corner threes at the start of Game seven,

290
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 2: had eleven points in the first quarter. Kevin Love will

291
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 2: be getting those opportunities, and if he's got the jumper working,

292
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 2: that's easy points for Miami.

293
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's a few guys that need to hit threes

294
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 4: to space the heat floor. It's it's Kevin Love, give

295
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 4: Jimmy some space, Duncan Rumson and give Lowry some space,

296
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 4: and gave Vincent Will he continued to be gave Vincent.

297
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 4: It's continuously to hit shots. So they've asked all those

298
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 4: guys plus Kayla Martin to come in and hit threes.

299
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 4: They keep doing it. And so, Yeah, the Celtics are

300
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 4: ridiculous favorites in this series. But it's just because of

301
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 4: the names, I suppose. I know they had such a

302
00:14:56,480 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 4: great regular season. But esh Ivan, let me ask you,

303
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 4: do you consider the Celtics to be such heavy favorites.

304
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 5: I would like to say he is, but the Heat

305
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 5: like they're always they're always scary to play, right, and uh,

306
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 5: you're talking X factor right now. I think one that

307
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 5: you probably miss is Bam, because BAM's big reason why

308
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 5: they went to the finals in twenty twenty in the Bible, right,

309
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 5: and everybody's always asking for more from him. If he

310
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 5: can show up and kind of be like the what

311
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 5: do you want to say, the the theorized version of

312
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 5: Bam Edebaio the.

313
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 2: Best version, Yeah, the aggressive version exactly.

314
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 5: So if he if he shows up and he's there,

315
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 5: then it's it's kind of scary for the Celtics.

316
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 2: I think.

317
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 5: I think that's that's one one player I'd be looking

318
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 5: out for.

319
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 2: He can definitely be the best big in this series.

320
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 2: And I think that Miami needs him to be the

321
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 2: best big in this series to swing an advantage their way,

322
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 2: because if you're looking advantage wise, it's like maybe Butler

323
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 2: and Tatum, one of them will have a better game

324
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 2: here and there, but they're pretty much washed. The backcourt,

325
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 2: you would think goes towards Boston with the variety players

326
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 2: they can throw out there. Obviously Jaylen Brown is ahead

327
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 2: of Max Strus in the packing order, but in the

328
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 2: front court, there's a chance for Bam to be the

329
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 2: best guy guarding the rim, bringing the ball up the court,

330
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 2: finding people, creating out of short roles, there's definitely an

331
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:15,120
Speaker 2: opportunity for him, whereas if you're the Celtics, you're just

332
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 2: hoping Al Horford is lights out from three once again,

333
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 2: the elite shooter that he calls himself, finished second in

334
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 2: the league in three point shooting. He hit a ton

335
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 2: of clutch shots for the Celtics the entirety of the season,

336
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 2: and he's gonna get looks too.

337
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 4: And we don't know who's necessarily gonna guard Bam. If

338
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 4: they start Robert Williams. BAM could have some space because

339
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 4: Robert Williams wants to roam a little bit and aggressive.

340
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 4: Bam could have some space, but it could be Al

341
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 4: Horford as well. If the Celtics decide to go small,

342
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 4: chess matches will be happening between Spolstra and Mizula. All right,

343
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 4: prediction time, Let's do this thing. What do you got, Trey?

344
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 2: This is interesting. I'm a little scared because Jimmy Butler's like,

345
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 2: I'm gonna learn from what happened last year and it

346
00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 2: ain't gonna happen again.

347
00:16:57,840 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 4: And it came.

348
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 2: Down to the very last shot of the season for

349
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 2: the Miami Heat last year. When I look at these teams.

350
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:07,680
Speaker 2: The Celtics to me, look like it's between them and Denver,

351
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 2: like who looks the best when they're playing their absolute best.

352
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 2: But Boston looks unbeatable when they're really cooking when they're

353
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 2: playing defense. They also beat themselves quite a bit. Rather

354
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:20,640
Speaker 2: it be turnovers or just getting cold from three and

355
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:23,640
Speaker 2: getting into ISO mode taking turns the heat, I think

356
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 2: don't really beat themselves all that often. They can go

357
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:29,479
Speaker 2: cold from three and that's when they look their worst.

358
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:32,359
Speaker 2: I think Boston wins a lot of blowout games in

359
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 2: this series. I think Miami will win the close games

360
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:37,880
Speaker 2: in this series, but generally the blowout team is better.

361
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:41,160
Speaker 2: So give me Celtics and seven. They've got home court.

362
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 2: Didn't matter last year though they won on the road.

363
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:45,360
Speaker 4: They went on the road.

364
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:46,680
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, the Celtics and seven.

365
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 4: They took care of business on the road. Let me

366
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:51,200
Speaker 4: ask you that Jimmy Butler shot right at the end.

367
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 4: You were at your sister's wedding.

368
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:53,680
Speaker 2: Yes?

369
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:57,160
Speaker 4: Yes? Did you go in a corner and watch it live?

370
00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:59,639
Speaker 4: Did you watch it a little bit later? Did that work?

371
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 3: Uh?

372
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:03,640
Speaker 2: Okay? I think I left probably during the third quarter

373
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:05,400
Speaker 2: because I saw like the end of the fourth quarter

374
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 2: at home. I was watching it on my phone when

375
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 2: Laura drove. I saw Jimmy pull up for three, and

376
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 2: I thought, this guy's not going to the hoop, right.

377
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:14,159
Speaker 2: Nobody goes to the hoop more than Jimmy Butler. I

378
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 2: still think he should have went to the hoop. Draw

379
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:17,639
Speaker 2: foul on Al Horford. This guy gets free throws. He

380
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:19,120
Speaker 2: ain't gonna make the same mistake this year.

381
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:21,399
Speaker 4: But he said he would take that shot again. He

382
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:23,919
Speaker 4: would do he would do it the same man. He's

383
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 4: got the confidence and that's why I'm taking the Boston Celtic.

384
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:29,680
Speaker 4: I can't. I just can't take the heat. I can't

385
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 4: take that. I do think Jimmy is a little bit hobbled.

386
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 4: It just wasn't that the same aggressive Jimmy. Now he

387
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 4: didn't have to against this New York Knicks, against the

388
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:41,520
Speaker 4: New York Knicks and their offense in round two, but

389
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:45,120
Speaker 4: he's gonna have to be incredible in this series. He's

390
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 4: just gonna have to be monstrous. It's a lot to

391
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:49,879
Speaker 4: ask for Jimmy. He can do it. But I agree

392
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 4: the Celtics they're better. The Malcolm Brogen factor is huge

393
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:57,520
Speaker 4: in this one. The spoilster factor is also huge, so

394
00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:00,720
Speaker 4: that makes me quite reluctant to take the Seas. But

395
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:03,200
Speaker 4: I'm taking them in seven. Esh, since we already asked you,

396
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 4: let's get your prediction. We already know who you're taking.

397
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 4: As a slash a Celtics slash Hawks fan.

398
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:10,720
Speaker 5: Don't go to lash right now. The Hawks are going

399
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 5: on a full time right now, full time. I'm gonna

400
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:17,639
Speaker 5: go Celtics.

401
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:18,560
Speaker 4: In six.

402
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 2: There we go, there we go, just a little scared.

403
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:24,640
Speaker 5: Then the scariest ac I think I've ever seen, but

404
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:26,120
Speaker 5: just because it's the Heat.

405
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:29,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, in six, all right, can't wait. Game one

406
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:33,240
Speaker 4: gets going on Wednesday. We've got to take a quick

407
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:36,399
Speaker 4: break here. But after it's some incredible male bag questions,

408
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 4: the draft lottery, and players who have both improved and

409
00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 4: hurt their trade stock since the playoffs started. We'll be

410
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:45,800
Speaker 4: right back back with no dunks.

411
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:48,479
Speaker 2: We got the stream team making their picks for the

412
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 2: Eastern Conference Finals. You want to take a guess where

413
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 2: they're leaning. Are you peaks? You're peeping? You peep in

414
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 2: sixty two percent, it looks like math wise right now

415
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:02,440
Speaker 2: are on the Celtics. Thirty eight percent for the Miami

416
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 2: Heat that's not bad. That's not bad, and honestly seems

417
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:07,920
Speaker 2: about fair yahwise. But us, I got a couple questions

418
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:08,199
Speaker 2: for you.

419
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:08,840
Speaker 4: Let's do this.

420
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 2: Which Grizzly is always at the beach?

421
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:15,679
Speaker 4: Which Memphis Grizzly is always at the beach? Is this

422
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 4: a punt?

423
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 2: I don't know, Sandy al Dama damn? Which heat legend

424
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:21,160
Speaker 2: is always at the beach?

425
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 4: Oh? Heat legend? I got? Alonzo gets up early in

426
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 4: the morning, get his beach chair? Uh no, what do

427
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 4: you got? You gotta have a better one than.

428
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 2: That, Dwayne Wave.

429
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:35,480
Speaker 3: One?

430
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:37,880
Speaker 2: Last one? Which raptor do you always hope to see

431
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:40,040
Speaker 2: at the beach? Current former raptor?

432
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 4: Former raptor?

433
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:46,200
Speaker 2: I got nothing, Sonny Weems.

434
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:58,160
Speaker 6: Oh astua, roll that beautiful beach footage?

435
00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 2: The only place to read your tweets and emails. Throw

436
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:04,200
Speaker 2: on a sun shirt and let's talk about the NBA

437
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 2: Draft Lottery that's going on tonight. Let's go balls. First

438
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 2: question comes from Steve. Who do you want to win

439
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:16,360
Speaker 2: the wemban Yama Sweepstakes? Is there any team that deserves

440
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:21,240
Speaker 2: to win the lottery? Thanks Steve, it's Steve email you

441
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:26,960
Speaker 2: that he did. I'll get us started here. Selfishly the Bulls. Absolutely,

442
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:29,080
Speaker 2: that's who I want to win the Victor Webbin Yama

443
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:33,520
Speaker 2: sweep Steaks. They've picked first twice eight in nineteen ninety nine,

444
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:36,439
Speaker 2: so they're due Bear's worst record in the league. In

445
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 2: the NFL, they got the number one pick and traded it.

446
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:43,600
Speaker 2: The Blackhawks apparently got the number one pick in the NHL.

447
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 2: They got a star coming in. Let's create the Let's

448
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 2: finish the triumvirate here. Three number one picks in one

449
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:52,879
Speaker 2: city seems unfair, and I would love to see it

450
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:56,480
Speaker 2: happen for actual fun times. Teams that I would like

451
00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:58,800
Speaker 2: to see be able to get Victor Webbin Yama. It

452
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 2: comes down to me the sh Charlotte Hornets, because you

453
00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:04,080
Speaker 2: look nice next to LaMelo Ball and they really need

454
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:07,679
Speaker 2: another star there in Charlotte. And also the Indiana Pacers.

455
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:10,159
Speaker 2: I don't think they've ever had the number one pick,

456
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:11,880
Speaker 2: at least not since I've been alive, now that I'm

457
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:14,439
Speaker 2: thinking about it, maybe Clark Kellogg back in the day

458
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:16,960
Speaker 2: was a number one pick, but it's been a long time.

459
00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 2: He would pair nicely with Tyree's Halliburton. They are a fun,

460
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 2: fast team to watch. That'd be a cool pairing to see.

461
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 4: I love the question about which team deserves it. It's

462
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:29,240
Speaker 4: always fun because I went through the teams as well.

463
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:32,159
Speaker 4: The Pistons along with the Rockets and the Spurs have

464
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:34,440
Speaker 4: the best odds. Pistons just got it in twenty one

465
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:38,199
Speaker 4: with Caid. You're out Tilman Furtida for the Houston Rockets

466
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 4: said at a parade, we're praying for Wemby in February. Now,

467
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:46,840
Speaker 4: you can't just tank and talk about it at parades. No,

468
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:50,000
Speaker 4: the Spurs traded their best player in Dejonte Murray last

469
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:54,480
Speaker 4: year to get down this low admirable, but no, you

470
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 4: trade your best player. Then it gets down to the Hornets,

471
00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:59,359
Speaker 4: who have the fourth best odds technically pretty damn close

472
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 4: to the top three. I like your Hornets pick. Maybe

473
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:06,119
Speaker 4: maybe that will encourage or influence Michael Jordan not to

474
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:08,400
Speaker 4: sell the team as he'son talks about selling the team.

475
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:11,959
Speaker 4: The Blazers they had it, you know, with Greg Odin

476
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:14,120
Speaker 4: and the Hornets have you got to go way back,

477
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 4: way back. I think the LJ. Dave in the late

478
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 4: nineteen hundreds, ninety one, and then then it gets down

479
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:23,200
Speaker 4: to the Magic. They've had it enough. The Facers, as

480
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 4: you said, so, I'm good with the Hornets Selfishly, They're

481
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 4: not too far down the road if I want to

482
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 4: go see the number one pick. I always talk about

483
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:32,320
Speaker 4: going to see a game in Charlotte. I've been here

484
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 4: for a decade, never done it, but maybe I will

485
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 4: if the number one pick is there. So and the

486
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:42,680
Speaker 4: Raptors obviously at one percent chance, even I can't cheer

487
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 4: that hard for the Raptors.

488
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 2: It could happen, man, they could. All you need is

489
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 2: any chance. You got to be in it to win it.

490
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:51,359
Speaker 2: I agree with you. Of the teams with the best

491
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:53,719
Speaker 2: lottery odds the worst teams in the league this year,

492
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:58,160
Speaker 2: Charlotte is the most deserving team. I think the other

493
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:01,479
Speaker 2: teams have even either picked umber one recently or were

494
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 2: just blatant tankers. We can't be rewarding that. As for

495
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:09,480
Speaker 2: the teams with like the pretty low odds, New Orleans, Toronto, Okay,

496
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 2: see Chicago, Dallas, Utah, Washington, I guess you would throw

497
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 2: in the mix as well. Toronto, Yeah, they tried to win,

498
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:19,720
Speaker 2: haven't had the first pick since six Chicago, Absolutely no

499
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:23,240
Speaker 2: team cared more about making the tenth seed this year. Dallas,

500
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:26,240
Speaker 2: no way, No way, Blaytant tankers. That would be probably

501
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:30,160
Speaker 2: the most embarrassing result for the NBA if Victor Wenbanyama

502
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:32,920
Speaker 2: somehow goes to Dallas after the way they ended their season. Absolutely,

503
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:36,200
Speaker 2: and I think Utah definitely, definitely would deserve to get

504
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:38,639
Speaker 2: a Victor Wenbanyama. They made a run at the playoffs

505
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:41,160
Speaker 2: even though everybody basically thought they were going to tank

506
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 2: this year, and they stayed in it until the very

507
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:44,439
Speaker 2: last weeks of the season.

508
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:46,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, and you can say, oh, they did tank by

509
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:49,880
Speaker 4: trading Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchell, but they tried that,

510
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 4: it didn't work, And yeah, they played their ass still good. Yeah,

511
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:54,440
Speaker 4: and they were still really good.

512
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:56,239
Speaker 2: Okay, See, I'm up in the air on if they

513
00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:56,719
Speaker 2: deserve it.

514
00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:58,639
Speaker 4: Interesting, Yeah, they they.

515
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:00,880
Speaker 2: Bawled out to get into the play a tournament. They're

516
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:02,639
Speaker 2: an exciting team. But they got so many picks.

517
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:04,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, they got Chet coming next year.

518
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:06,520
Speaker 2: They're getting like a They're getting a number two pick back.

519
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:08,679
Speaker 2: Can you imagine if they brought Victor weber Yama and

520
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 2: Chet Holding to the court together. I wonder if they

521
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 2: could touch each other's fingers from sideline to sideline. That'd

522
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:18,359
Speaker 2: be awesome, But yeah, let us know down below who

523
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:19,959
Speaker 2: do you want to win the lottery? Who do you

524
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:24,040
Speaker 2: think really deserves it? Moving on, our next question comes

525
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:28,960
Speaker 2: from at anti hesitator on Twitter, who asks what would

526
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:34,760
Speaker 2: each of your lucky charms be at the draft lottery? Tess,

527
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:35,359
Speaker 2: what do you bringing?

528
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:39,399
Speaker 4: I'm bringing something that's not really much of a lucky charm,

529
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 4: but it has an alien, an alien on it, and

530
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:46,080
Speaker 4: it looks kind of cool. I ran a race last

531
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:50,120
Speaker 4: year in Roswell, Georgia, hence the alien theme, and I've

532
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:53,520
Speaker 4: got this sort of metal. It's a participant medal. I

533
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:56,919
Speaker 4: was a participant. I didn't place, but it's got an

534
00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:57,960
Speaker 4: alien on it.

535
00:25:59,240 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 2: That's awesome.

536
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:02,159
Speaker 4: The eyes I wrote it is pretty cool for a

537
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:05,640
Speaker 4: participant trophy. Actually, yeah, I'm holding it the wrong way.

538
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 4: There are the clouds. Why can't I turn this problem?

539
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:09,280
Speaker 2: Are thirteen point one?

540
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:14,800
Speaker 4: Yeah that's good as well. Georgia. So it was man

541
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:18,119
Speaker 4: looking at yourself in the monitor and trying to figure

542
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:20,520
Speaker 4: out really yeah, it's really hard to figure out. So

543
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:25,119
Speaker 4: I'm bringing this thing. Now would I display it? Like

544
00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:27,800
Speaker 4: Brandon Roy is going to be there tonight as we

545
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:32,359
Speaker 4: watch together. Do these people? Would you want to show this.

546
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:34,720
Speaker 4: Would you want to say, hey, we really want the

547
00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:36,480
Speaker 4: number one pick and be clear about it, and then

548
00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:38,240
Speaker 4: and then let's say you don't get it, because we

549
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 4: all know you want the number one pick, but let's

550
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:43,080
Speaker 4: say you get number two. Kind of sucks, kind of

551
00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 4: sucks for Scoot or whoever you're gonna end up getting

552
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 4: it number two. So I don't know if I would

553
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:49,760
Speaker 4: display something like this. I think you kind of want

554
00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:51,679
Speaker 4: to keep your charm.

555
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:53,840
Speaker 2: Keep it in the pocket until he went afterwards, and

556
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:55,480
Speaker 2: you're like, yeah, this ended up being lucky.

557
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:56,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly.

558
00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:58,200
Speaker 2: You don't hear a lot of stories about the lucky

559
00:26:58,280 --> 00:26:59,919
Speaker 2: charm that somebody brought when they didn't win the lot.

560
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:02,720
Speaker 4: I agree, Yeah, so I would keep this in my

561
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:06,119
Speaker 4: pocket with my lucky underwear. I don't have anything like that.

562
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:10,399
Speaker 4: Do you have anything real that you use as a

563
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:13,919
Speaker 4: lucky charm, because this is just this is just a

564
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:17,200
Speaker 4: momento I had. I saw it on my destiny. I'm like, oh, yeah, that's.

565
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:19,920
Speaker 2: Because the alien. Yeah that is perfect. Yeah, yeah, I

566
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:22,679
Speaker 2: don't really have a memento either that I that I

567
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:25,120
Speaker 2: think is actually lucky. I would bring two things though.

568
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:27,920
Speaker 2: I would bring hand strength, the nurse just because I

569
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:29,960
Speaker 2: feel like i'd be very nervous. So I'm gonna want

570
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:32,200
Speaker 2: something to do with my hands and just like constantly

571
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:33,320
Speaker 2: be fiddling all the time.

572
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 4: Get a workout.

573
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:37,639
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I need really strong hands. As for what

574
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:38,920
Speaker 2: I think is lucky.

575
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:40,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're gonna crush Mark Tatum's hand and.

576
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:45,600
Speaker 2: I just really smash it, show them who's boss. But

577
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:47,600
Speaker 2: for what I think is lucky, I got a Shartru's

578
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:49,880
Speaker 2: crank bait. I caught a huge bass on a couple

579
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:53,440
Speaker 2: of years back. Unfortunately I broke the lure on one

580
00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:55,960
Speaker 2: of my casts, so it doesn't function anymore.

581
00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:56,480
Speaker 4: Uh huh.

582
00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 2: But it's one of the best fish I've caught in

583
00:27:57,880 --> 00:27:59,960
Speaker 2: the past couple of years, so it's gotta be lucky.

584
00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:02,200
Speaker 2: Of course, I forgot it at home.

585
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:04,280
Speaker 4: So, oh, you were going to bring that bait?

586
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:05,879
Speaker 2: I had it, I had it in my notes. I

587
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 2: was like, Okay, I'll grab it when I go back

588
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:11,120
Speaker 2: downstairs and get dressed. Didn't even think, man, didn't even think.

589
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:14,320
Speaker 2: But I'll put it in my pocket tonight during our playback.

590
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:16,480
Speaker 4: Keep that bait in there and I'll see it in

591
00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:19,040
Speaker 4: John screak when you bring it up to go fishing.

592
00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:20,560
Speaker 2: Oh, I'll let you take a look at it.

593
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 4: Thanks, Yeah, you can. You can see.

594
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:25,879
Speaker 2: Well, you're not going to be impressed. It has no

595
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:27,359
Speaker 2: hooks on it. You're gonna be like, that's just a

596
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:28,719
Speaker 2: piece of wood. Why did you bring that?

597
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 4: Bait? Is interesting? I don't get people.

598
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:34,200
Speaker 2: Let us know what you think about baits.

599
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:37,359
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean the range of bait. I guess they

600
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:40,880
Speaker 4: some work in different conditions for different fish.

601
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:43,640
Speaker 2: Well, I mean we're talking about a lot of different

602
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 2: baits out there, and a lot of different colors, a

603
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 2: lot of different depths. Does have a rattle, of course,

604
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:50,840
Speaker 2: this one has a rattle. We gotta ram up sometimes. Baby,

605
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 2: what's that? Wow? Is that a short whose crank bait?

606
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:54,200
Speaker 4: Oh?

607
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 2: That's how it goes. You're a bass But what if

608
00:28:57,120 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 2: you're an NBA GM. That's our next question. It comes

609
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:03,080
Speaker 2: from Brad who asks, imagine like that that was very good?

610
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:06,360
Speaker 2: That was actually pretty smooth. Oh yeah, imagine you're an NBAGM.

611
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:10,480
Speaker 2: Would you rather have Luca or the twenty twenty three

612
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:15,880
Speaker 2: first overall pick? This is a question here, Yeah, this

613
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:18,560
Speaker 2: is quite the question. Luka doncic He's gonna turn twenty

614
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:21,760
Speaker 2: five halfway next season? Shout out to my Pisce's out there,

615
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 2: wonder if Luca likes the fish. Probably, this guy's played

616
00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:27,240
Speaker 2: five seasons in the NBA, Luka Doncic, He's been First

617
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:31,040
Speaker 2: Team All NBA four times already. Tasks Yeah, But as

618
00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:33,640
Speaker 2: we saw this year, having Luca on your team doesn't

619
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:36,200
Speaker 2: make you a guaranteed contender. It doesn't even make you

620
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 2: a guaranteed playoff team. They didn't even finish in the

621
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:42,480
Speaker 2: top ten in the Western Conference this season after their

622
00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:44,480
Speaker 2: blatant tanking at the end of the year. As for

623
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:48,920
Speaker 2: Victor wembin Yama, he's the best draft prospect since I've

624
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:53,040
Speaker 2: seen Anthony Davis, I've seen Lebron James, I've seen Kareem

625
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 2: Abdul Jabbar, who was drafted far before we were even born.

626
00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:57,320
Speaker 4: Tasks right.

627
00:29:57,680 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 2: He looks like he's going to be an impact player

628
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:01,640
Speaker 2: on both sides of the ball. Probably going to be

629
00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:03,680
Speaker 2: a great one of the better defenders in the league

630
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:06,960
Speaker 2: coming in as a rookie. The offense likely takes a

631
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:09,479
Speaker 2: little bit more time. Since he's still a rookie's going

632
00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:12,080
Speaker 2: to be adjusting to a new game with stronger dudes

633
00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 2: and faster guys. So he's going to take a little

634
00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:16,600
Speaker 2: bit to figure that out. And of course, you still

635
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 2: just don't know what Victor wen Begnam is going to

636
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:20,720
Speaker 2: be when he gets to the NBA with regards to

637
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:23,120
Speaker 2: being a super tall, skinny guy, which people think is

638
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:27,400
Speaker 2: an injury concern as if super explosive guards aren't getting

639
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:30,400
Speaker 2: hurt every single season as well, what's his worth EFIC

640
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:31,960
Speaker 2: going to be? Like, we just don't know yet. I

641
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:33,280
Speaker 2: think he's going to be an awesome player, and I

642
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 2: think he's going to be one of the best guys

643
00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:36,840
Speaker 2: in the league. So I think this is a great question,

644
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:38,600
Speaker 2: and I think it has two answers. If you're trying

645
00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:42,080
Speaker 2: to win the title the next season twenty twenty three

646
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:44,200
Speaker 2: to twenty four season, I think it's got to be Luca.

647
00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:46,840
Speaker 2: The guy is in his prime right now, one of

648
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:49,040
Speaker 2: the best players in the league. You just gotta have

649
00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:51,440
Speaker 2: the right team around him. But if you're an NBAGM

650
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:54,840
Speaker 2: who's trying to stay GM and maybe build the dynasty

651
00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:58,479
Speaker 2: when Beinyama is the guy, wow, I would say one

652
00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:01,200
Speaker 2: season only though, give me look, yeah, I would.

653
00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:04,240
Speaker 4: Say even the majority of GMS would still take the

654
00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:07,760
Speaker 4: surefire bet in Luka Dancic. Yeah, because he's twenty four now,

655
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:09,640
Speaker 4: as you said, he's going to be twenty five. I

656
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:12,800
Speaker 4: can't believe he's been All NBA First Team four of

657
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:16,320
Speaker 4: his five seasons. Is he a guy that you could

658
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:19,080
Speaker 4: build around? Hell? Yeah, the MAVs just screwed up over

659
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:22,000
Speaker 4: and over and over again. Otherwise they could have been

660
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:26,200
Speaker 4: in an NBA final. They could have built around him.

661
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:28,080
Speaker 4: I'll have a lot better. This is a guard in

662
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:31,560
Speaker 4: a guard's game. I think he's totally fine playing with

663
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:35,280
Speaker 4: other guys that are extremely capable. I don't think he's

664
00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:40,040
Speaker 4: a ballhog of ball suckou I would I would take

665
00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:44,360
Speaker 4: him over the twenty twenty three prospect of Yeah, a

666
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:48,160
Speaker 4: guy who could be the best guy since Anthony Davis. Sure,

667
00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:52,760
Speaker 4: I'm uncomfortable saying that since Lebron. Wow, now we're getting

668
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:55,320
Speaker 4: we're getting big. That's just a lot of pressure on

669
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:57,480
Speaker 4: this guy. But he is big, so maybe he can

670
00:31:57,520 --> 00:32:00,480
Speaker 4: do it. But I'm I'm taking Luca. I think, yeah,

671
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:03,240
Speaker 4: this is a point here where everyone's sort of down

672
00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:05,680
Speaker 4: on Luca because of the season the way it ended.

673
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:10,200
Speaker 4: Bad season, bad seasonappointing season at least disappointing. Sure, but

674
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:13,600
Speaker 4: doing stuff in the playoffs that you need to do.

675
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:15,360
Speaker 4: You need a guy if you're gonna go deep that

676
00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:17,880
Speaker 4: can carry a team, that can take all those shots,

677
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 4: want to take all those shots. I don't know if

678
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:23,880
Speaker 4: I'm just a safe dude, but I am taking Luca

679
00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:25,000
Speaker 4: in this instance.

680
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:27,120
Speaker 2: And you make a good point guard in the guards league.

681
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:30,440
Speaker 2: You gotta have guards to win in the NBA. Right now,

682
00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:33,600
Speaker 2: we just saw Joel Embiid, the literal MVP of the season,

683
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:37,280
Speaker 2: almost get played off the court in Game seven against

684
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:39,240
Speaker 2: the Celtics. I guess you did get played off the

685
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:41,160
Speaker 2: court out it was a blowout, but I was like,

686
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:44,240
Speaker 2: they brought Joel Embiad up to get roasted time and

687
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:47,160
Speaker 2: time again by Jason Tatum. Sure, Joel embid is supposed

688
00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:49,080
Speaker 2: to be one of the better defenders in the league.

689
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:52,520
Speaker 2: It's just hard for centers once it gets the playoff time.

690
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:54,640
Speaker 2: So I think you go Luca right now. But this

691
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:57,560
Speaker 2: could look like a pretty dumb take within one season.

692
00:32:57,720 --> 00:33:00,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, really, And women Yama is a guy in a

693
00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:03,880
Speaker 4: monstrous body, right, I mean, he is doing guard stuff

694
00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:05,640
Speaker 4: with his step backs. If you haven't seen, I think

695
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:09,440
Speaker 4: his last game in his league play is today on

696
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:12,440
Speaker 4: the NBA app at too Eastern if you haven't caught it,

697
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:14,280
Speaker 4: if you're if you're watching this live, you want to

698
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:17,640
Speaker 4: see him. I mean he's he is a guard with

699
00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:20,560
Speaker 4: his footwork even though he's huge, he's gonna play inside.

700
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:23,640
Speaker 4: It is sort of chet like where he's you know,

701
00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:27,920
Speaker 4: extremely thin, but he's got ridiculous handles. So it's kind

702
00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:30,600
Speaker 4: of like Anthony Davis played point guard blah blah blah.

703
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:32,920
Speaker 4: So he that's is he playing centers. He's playing point

704
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:34,400
Speaker 4: guard for his French chief. I mean he's kind of

705
00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:36,080
Speaker 4: playing both. He does everything.

706
00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:38,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's crazy though, like that guy's just gonna be

707
00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:41,360
Speaker 2: watching TV tonight and be like, well maybe he'll be there.

708
00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:43,040
Speaker 2: I don't know, but he's just like, that's my team.

709
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:44,480
Speaker 2: He's gonna know his team by the end of the

710
00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:47,200
Speaker 2: night because ain't nobody gonna trade it, and he's definitely

711
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:50,480
Speaker 2: gonna go number one. We asked the stream team who

712
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:53,240
Speaker 2: they're taking, Luca or Wemby, and right now seventy four

713
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 2: percent are voting for Luka. Doncic Wow, Hi one in

714
00:33:57,960 --> 00:33:59,440
Speaker 2: the hand is we're two in the bush?

715
00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:01,440
Speaker 4: Is Now that's what you say.

716
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:03,080
Speaker 2: I'm a fisher, not a hunter. So I don't know

717
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:04,920
Speaker 2: if it's completely nailed that bad, and let us know

718
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:07,760
Speaker 2: down below in the comments. We're moving on here. Make

719
00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:11,040
Speaker 2: sure to check out our Draft Lottery stream a little

720
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:13,640
Speaker 2: bit later playback dot tv Slash No Dunk. We'll be

721
00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:16,200
Speaker 2: going live about seven forty five pm Eastern. We're moving

722
00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:19,240
Speaker 2: on to other players who are actually in the NBA

723
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 2: right now. Our final question comes from Solomon, who asks

724
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:26,279
Speaker 2: which player has had the biggest increase or decrease in

725
00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:28,560
Speaker 2: trade value since the playoffs started.

726
00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:31,799
Speaker 4: What you think, Tassi, I have a lot more on

727
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:35,759
Speaker 4: my decrease list than my increased list. Am I a hater? Probably?

728
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:43,080
Speaker 4: But quickly on the increase, we said Duncan Robinson seemed unplayable.

729
00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:44,239
Speaker 2: A great call.

730
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:47,400
Speaker 4: It can now be traded. I know Kyle Lowry's at

731
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:49,399
Speaker 4: the end of his career, but he seemed like he

732
00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:53,640
Speaker 4: was almost done during the regular season. So he's looking

733
00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:56,000
Speaker 4: like Kyle doing like he can do Kyle Lowry things

734
00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:58,040
Speaker 4: out there. It's just twenty five minutes per game, but

735
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:02,000
Speaker 4: he looks like somebody you'd one on your team doing

736
00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:05,279
Speaker 4: perfect stuff out there. Austin Reeves is probably the guy

737
00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:08,920
Speaker 4: that's increased his value the most. I mean, he's a

738
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:11,759
Speaker 4: free agent this offseason, Everybody talking about how much is

739
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:13,960
Speaker 4: this guy going to get paid? He is a restricted

740
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:16,719
Speaker 4: free agent. The Lakers can match anything, but they can

741
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:20,480
Speaker 4: only offer him four for fifty only. I mean, this

742
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:23,759
Speaker 4: guy was just making pennies and now he's going to

743
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:26,960
Speaker 4: be making at least four for fifty. But if somebody

744
00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:30,759
Speaker 4: comes around and says four for seventy five, they got

745
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:33,839
Speaker 4: a match it. Yeah, it feels like so those are

746
00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:39,680
Speaker 4: my increases, my decrease. This list is long. DeAndre Ayton

747
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:44,480
Speaker 4: and Julius Randall sort of in the same family of

748
00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:47,719
Speaker 4: guys just not performing in the postseason, not stepping up

749
00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:53,799
Speaker 4: into the postseason light. Unfortunately. Kawhi and Paul George. I

750
00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:57,680
Speaker 4: know this is just injury based, but these two guys

751
00:35:57,840 --> 00:35:59,719
Speaker 4: have a couple of years left on their contract and

752
00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:03,239
Speaker 4: it would be more difficult to trade them now than

753
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:06,600
Speaker 4: it was even before the playoffs started. Watching Kawhi go down,

754
00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:10,400
Speaker 4: Paul George just not playing, interesting stuff going there and

755
00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:12,680
Speaker 4: going on there. In the Clippers, I threw John Morant

756
00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:15,799
Speaker 4: in there. He's not playing, but he should be part

757
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:19,080
Speaker 4: of this list. Malik Beasley with the Lakers, I know

758
00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:22,480
Speaker 4: I know I'm going deep here. Decreass He's got a

759
00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:26,000
Speaker 4: team option next year for sixteen mil. Hard to see

760
00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:30,200
Speaker 4: the Lakers ye be taken be picking up that option,

761
00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:32,680
Speaker 4: especially when they've got an Austin Reeves scenario in the

762
00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:35,560
Speaker 4: same manner. Jay Crowder, I know I'm going deep here,

763
00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:37,319
Speaker 4: but he was on the Bucks. He is on the

764
00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:38,839
Speaker 4: Bucks for Uster. He's going to be a free agent.

765
00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:40,880
Speaker 4: He's gonna be thirty three. He could barely play for

766
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:44,040
Speaker 4: the Bucks this postseason. When they went and got him

767
00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:47,040
Speaker 4: specifically for the postseason, he wasn't playing a lot. And

768
00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:49,400
Speaker 4: the Chris Paul scenario we've talked about a bunch. It's

769
00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:53,640
Speaker 4: it's an odd one where his money gets guaranteed basically

770
00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:56,680
Speaker 4: in a month for next year, and that's thirty million dollars.

771
00:36:57,560 --> 00:37:00,239
Speaker 4: He'll get fifteen mil if they release them BEFO four,

772
00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:03,560
Speaker 4: then I'm talking about releasing Chris Paul. Sounds kind of nutty,

773
00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:06,680
Speaker 4: but when they're trying to build a winner and two

774
00:37:06,719 --> 00:37:09,920
Speaker 4: of those guys really didn't increase their value this season

775
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:13,239
Speaker 4: this offseason eight CP to go along with Durant who's

776
00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:17,719
Speaker 4: getting older, and Devin Booker wild scenario. There so a

777
00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:21,520
Speaker 4: guy like Matt is Ishbia. He's not holding any punches.

778
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:24,440
Speaker 4: He will make moves to win right now, I don't think.

779
00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:27,120
Speaker 4: I don't think he cares about legacy or people's feelings.

780
00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:29,200
Speaker 4: So I'm really interested to see what he does with

781
00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:32,279
Speaker 4: Chris Paul over the next month. So I just went

782
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:37,800
Speaker 4: through the entire NBA you mentioned. You mentioned centers. It

783
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:41,719
Speaker 4: was a bad also bad playoffs for some centers. I mean,

784
00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:43,600
Speaker 4: I think I could have thrown Nick Claxon on there,

785
00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:46,000
Speaker 4: although you know he kind of got played off a

786
00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:47,440
Speaker 4: little bit.

787
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:50,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think for my decreasers, the only name you

788
00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:54,120
Speaker 2: probably didn't mention is Jordan Poole, who is probably going

789
00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:56,440
Speaker 2: to be tough to trade since his big extension starts

790
00:37:56,520 --> 00:37:59,520
Speaker 2: next year. And he just finished the playoffs averaging ten

791
00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:02,200
Speaker 2: points again while shooting thirty four percent from the field,

792
00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:07,640
Speaker 2: twenty five percent from three, and being absolutely flammable on defense.

793
00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:10,800
Speaker 2: So yeah, Pool, you're probably not getting a lot back

794
00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:13,680
Speaker 2: if you're the Warriors, So maybe he stays there. As

795
00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:16,600
Speaker 2: for the increases, I think you would have to throw

796
00:38:16,719 --> 00:38:19,400
Speaker 2: Ruy Hachimura into the increases as well. He got traded

797
00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:21,840
Speaker 2: for a couple of second round picks, probably worth a

798
00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:25,280
Speaker 2: first round pick at this point, got the size, hitting threes,

799
00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:28,759
Speaker 2: helped the Lakers win a game in the first round.

800
00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:32,080
Speaker 2: So he's been a pleasant surprise I think for LA

801
00:38:32,120 --> 00:38:34,719
Speaker 2: sure in the postseason. And then r J. Barrett is

802
00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:37,600
Speaker 2: another guy who I think has been pretty good in

803
00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:41,600
Speaker 2: the postseason. Here nineteen points per game for the postseason,

804
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:44,600
Speaker 2: forty three from the field, thirty three from three, and

805
00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:47,560
Speaker 2: seventy seven from the line. He's been twenty or more

806
00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:51,880
Speaker 2: and six of the eleven games for New York, some rebounding,

807
00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:55,040
Speaker 2: some playmaking, just much better than his first go round

808
00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:57,480
Speaker 2: to the playoffs in twenty twenty one. He's still only

809
00:38:57,600 --> 00:39:01,040
Speaker 2: going to be turning twenty three years old, so I

810
00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:03,239
Speaker 2: don't know if he if the way he played this

811
00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:08,200
Speaker 2: playoffs makes him more entrenched in New York, more likely

812
00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:11,360
Speaker 2: to be a piece going forward, or something that another

813
00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:13,719
Speaker 2: team could look at in a trade and be like, oh, yeah,

814
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:16,000
Speaker 2: Arjie Barrett was pretty good in the playoffs last year.

815
00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:19,239
Speaker 2: Definitely has a better rep now than he did heading

816
00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:19,840
Speaker 2: into the playoffs.

817
00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:22,560
Speaker 4: I would think, good call. I guess I am a hater.

818
00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:24,960
Speaker 4: I can't believe I forgot about Barrett. That's a good one.

819
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:28,680
Speaker 4: As a Canadian, I can't believe that. And uh Ruey

820
00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:30,759
Speaker 4: Ruey has been really good and I've been a Ruie

821
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:34,040
Speaker 4: lover forever, but he helped out a big time with

822
00:39:34,200 --> 00:39:37,960
Speaker 4: those those Lakers. Just coming off the bench against the Grizzlies,

823
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:38,680
Speaker 4: he was monstrous.

824
00:39:38,719 --> 00:39:41,959
Speaker 2: Yep, let's hear from you. Who has helped their trade stock?

825
00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:44,200
Speaker 2: Who has hurt their trade stock? Let us know down below.

826
00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:46,239
Speaker 2: Tweet at us at No Dunk Sink. We're going to

827
00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:48,400
Speaker 2: take one last break here and then we'll talk some

828
00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:50,320
Speaker 2: more about basketball.

829
00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:53,400
Speaker 4: Welcome back to No Ducks. People chiming in on the

830
00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:56,760
Speaker 4: stream team about players that have both increased and decreased

831
00:39:56,760 --> 00:40:02,760
Speaker 4: their trade value. Robert ros Sorry, Roberto Aguilar dropping bars

832
00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:07,480
Speaker 4: about Jordan Poole. He wrote, trade value lower than Jordan Poole.

833
00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:12,200
Speaker 4: How's that for rap? Put a brat behind that? It's

834
00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:14,279
Speaker 4: actually when I read it, it was cooler than when I

835
00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:18,200
Speaker 4: said it. I don't know. It's just a line. Trade

836
00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:20,960
Speaker 4: value lower than Jordan Poole essentially was the line. And

837
00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:24,239
Speaker 4: there's something there. There's something there. It could be a

838
00:40:24,280 --> 00:40:26,040
Speaker 4: part of a disk track, that's all.

839
00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:29,000
Speaker 2: It definitely could be, And honestly, I'm glad you mentioned

840
00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:33,359
Speaker 2: de Bratt. You didn't really mention dub Bratt, but I

841
00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:37,600
Speaker 2: saw recently that de Bratt is pregnant, so congratulations to her.

842
00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:39,880
Speaker 2: But the reason I bring it up is the reason

843
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:43,120
Speaker 2: I found out is she was wearing like a full

844
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:46,040
Speaker 2: Chicago Bulls She had on Bulls shorts and that she

845
00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:49,080
Speaker 2: had a Bulls warm up shirt on. But she had

846
00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:52,960
Speaker 2: a whole cut out of the stomach with like like

847
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:55,880
Speaker 2: the Bulls like uniform ribbing going around it and you

848
00:40:55,880 --> 00:40:57,880
Speaker 2: could see your pregnant stomach sticking out. I thought that

849
00:40:58,000 --> 00:40:59,959
Speaker 2: was pretty cool, and I hope they wear that next season.

850
00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:02,759
Speaker 2: I'd love to see Victor webbin Yama wearing a de

851
00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:05,440
Speaker 2: Bratt pregnancy Bulls jersey. That's what I'm saying.

852
00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:11,560
Speaker 4: Oh, she's from Chicago, right, and she's she's forty nine

853
00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:16,000
Speaker 4: years old respect to her. Wows. That is impressive. All right,

854
00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:18,560
Speaker 4: moving on, Let's get to tweet of the.

855
00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:27,640
Speaker 2: Night tweed overnight. Wow. I got the tweet and it

856
00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:31,919
Speaker 2: comes from Bob vulgaris at Harlea Bob on Twitter, who

857
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:34,880
Speaker 2: tweeted I saw Max Kellerman rate his top five players

858
00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:38,160
Speaker 2: in the conference finals. Curious to hear what others think,

859
00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:41,200
Speaker 2: here is how here's how I have them ranked based

860
00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:46,839
Speaker 2: on their current value. Here is Bob's rankings. Jokic, then

861
00:41:46,880 --> 00:41:50,799
Speaker 2: Anthony Davis, then a big gap, followed by Jason Tatum, Lebron, James,

862
00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:53,759
Speaker 2: and Jimmy Butler. Harlo. Bob then says, I think you

863
00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:56,680
Speaker 2: can make an argument for any order of three to five,

864
00:41:56,840 --> 00:41:58,839
Speaker 2: to be honest. So I'll start you with this test

865
00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:02,760
Speaker 2: you agree on, and then a D. Top two players

866
00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:03,399
Speaker 2: in that order.

867
00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:10,520
Speaker 4: Well, Jokic number one in that order. Jimmy's a lot

868
00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:16,800
Speaker 4: closer to a D even though he especially the intangibles

869
00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:19,279
Speaker 4: that Jimmy provides the trickle down effect to what he's

870
00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:21,839
Speaker 4: doing for that team. I may have Jimmy at two

871
00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:27,799
Speaker 4: wow wow, but I understand eighties defensive presence locks him in,

872
00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:31,040
Speaker 4: you know, whatever he is to t a up there.

873
00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:33,760
Speaker 4: But I would I would jump Jimmy, even over Tatum,

874
00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:36,400
Speaker 4: which is a little nuts with what he just did. Uh,

875
00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:40,960
Speaker 4: Tatum producing a lot. But yeah, So I think I'm

876
00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:44,520
Speaker 4: feeling Jokic eighty, Jimmy Tatum, Lebron.

877
00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:48,680
Speaker 2: Jokic a D, Jimmy Tatum, Lebron, I'm almost the same.

878
00:42:48,719 --> 00:42:54,200
Speaker 2: I would go Jokic a d Jimmy Lebron than Tatum.

879
00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:57,680
Speaker 2: As Bob Vulgaris mentioned, it just feels weird saying Lebron

880
00:42:57,760 --> 00:43:00,319
Speaker 2: is the fifth best player left in the playoffs. He

881
00:43:00,440 --> 00:43:04,200
Speaker 2: was incredible in Game six against the Warriors, and there

882
00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:06,640
Speaker 2: is a five minute stretch of every game where you're like, oh, yeah,

883
00:43:06,640 --> 00:43:09,719
Speaker 2: that's Lebron. I remember that guy. So I don't know.

884
00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:12,400
Speaker 2: It's just hard for me to put him behind Jason Tatum.

885
00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:14,960
Speaker 2: It's honestly hard to put Jimmy above Lebron. But Jimmy's

886
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:16,759
Speaker 2: got a fifty six point game in the playoffs and

887
00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:19,800
Speaker 2: he's been carrying like crazy. Last question about this, though,

888
00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:23,040
Speaker 2: who else would you add? Slash? Who else would be

889
00:43:23,560 --> 00:43:27,520
Speaker 2: number six? Like? Who comes in honorable mention? Just barely

890
00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:28,160
Speaker 2: missed the list?

891
00:43:28,200 --> 00:43:34,200
Speaker 4: Here is Bam right there, Jamal Murray.

892
00:43:35,400 --> 00:43:37,800
Speaker 2: It's the second guy for most of those Lebron is

893
00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:40,000
Speaker 2: the second guy for the Lakers, But who's the second

894
00:43:40,040 --> 00:43:43,240
Speaker 2: guy from the other teams? Murray, Jalen Brown, and Bam

895
00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:47,040
Speaker 2: are probably the candidates. I guess it's Jalen probably. Yeah.

896
00:43:47,080 --> 00:43:50,000
Speaker 4: It does more defensively than Jamal Murray, who came out

897
00:43:50,560 --> 00:43:55,080
Speaker 4: of the playoff door blazing and then slowed down a

898
00:43:55,120 --> 00:43:58,319
Speaker 4: little bit. Bam would probably be up there because of

899
00:43:58,320 --> 00:44:01,600
Speaker 4: what he does defensively. We remember last year in the

900
00:44:01,600 --> 00:44:05,440
Speaker 4: Eastern Conference Final Game one, he stole it by blocking

901
00:44:05,520 --> 00:44:08,399
Speaker 4: Jason Tatum right at the end. So those are things

902
00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:11,720
Speaker 4: that Jamal Murray doesn't necessarily do. Jalen Brown is awesome

903
00:44:11,719 --> 00:44:13,880
Speaker 4: defensively too, so we're going to see him on. Jalen

904
00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:18,960
Speaker 4: Brown and the Nuggets have a slew of guys, I mean, Gordon,

905
00:44:19,080 --> 00:44:21,799
Speaker 4: Aaron Gordon has been really good. I know you love

906
00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:23,600
Speaker 4: him defensively because he's awesome.

907
00:44:23,600 --> 00:44:24,200
Speaker 2: He's been great.

908
00:44:24,320 --> 00:44:26,400
Speaker 4: He has been great. So I guess that's the family

909
00:44:26,440 --> 00:44:29,480
Speaker 4: of guys, Jamal Murray, Jalen Brown. I'm not really I'm

910
00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:34,440
Speaker 4: not really picking a six Bam and AG. I don't

911
00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:38,160
Speaker 4: think I'm missing anybody, now, Yeah, you just got to

912
00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:40,719
Speaker 4: mention every Laker for everybody in the stream team or

913
00:44:40,719 --> 00:44:43,120
Speaker 4: else they say you're hating, But I think we got

914
00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:44,360
Speaker 4: I think we got everybody.

915
00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:47,840
Speaker 2: I think we've mentioned every Laker on the team except

916
00:44:47,880 --> 00:44:51,560
Speaker 2: for Dennis Shruder. I think Malik Beasley even got mentioned

917
00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:54,000
Speaker 2: two days in a row on this show. And that's

918
00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:55,960
Speaker 2: not people still think we're hating on the Lakers. We're

919
00:44:55,960 --> 00:44:58,160
Speaker 2: talking Dennis Shruder here as one of the five best

920
00:44:58,160 --> 00:45:01,040
Speaker 2: players in the Western Conference Finals or not. But that's

921
00:45:01,080 --> 00:45:02,360
Speaker 2: what we want to hear from you. So let us

922
00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:05,799
Speaker 2: down down below and in the stream team or whatever.

923
00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:08,400
Speaker 2: Who are your top five players left in the playoffs?

924
00:45:08,600 --> 00:45:10,480
Speaker 2: And who's maybe number six if you want to get

925
00:45:10,520 --> 00:45:13,360
Speaker 2: freaky with it. Can't wait for these Western Conference Finals

926
00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:14,160
Speaker 2: to start tonight? My man?

927
00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:17,919
Speaker 4: Yeah, they start tonight. And I like how you say

928
00:45:17,920 --> 00:45:21,959
Speaker 4: that game one is extremely important. What to take Huh, Well,

929
00:45:23,640 --> 00:45:26,799
Speaker 4: it seems like teams keep coming back, yeah, from deficits,

930
00:45:26,840 --> 00:45:28,600
Speaker 4: but you get game one like the Lakers did in

931
00:45:28,640 --> 00:45:32,640
Speaker 4: both those first two series. So did the Nuggets huge

932
00:45:32,680 --> 00:45:35,600
Speaker 4: and they both won the series. So it is really important.

933
00:45:36,360 --> 00:45:39,640
Speaker 4: And it is different than what happened with the Lakers

934
00:45:39,640 --> 00:45:42,000
Speaker 4: and the Warriors, where the Lakers took your business. The

935
00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:43,600
Speaker 4: Warriors had to go to seven games against the Kings,

936
00:45:43,640 --> 00:45:46,600
Speaker 4: so the Lakers were chilling. It's flipped in this scenario,

937
00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:50,359
Speaker 4: Denver had a little bit more time to chill out,

938
00:45:50,440 --> 00:45:52,640
Speaker 4: so they don't have that going for them.

939
00:45:52,640 --> 00:45:53,560
Speaker 2: But Lebron knows it.

940
00:45:53,600 --> 00:45:57,000
Speaker 4: Man. He comes into game one, game one in the

941
00:45:57,040 --> 00:46:01,160
Speaker 4: twenty eighteen finals. Did it all with this fifty point game.

942
00:46:01,600 --> 00:46:04,319
Speaker 4: So it's important, You're right, Even if it's not the

943
00:46:04,320 --> 00:46:07,520
Speaker 4: hottest of hots, who cares, it's important game tonight.

944
00:46:07,600 --> 00:46:10,160
Speaker 2: It's a huge game tonight, and I think it's quite

945
00:46:10,160 --> 00:46:11,839
Speaker 2: a change for Lebron. Like we used to talk about

946
00:46:11,880 --> 00:46:15,040
Speaker 2: Lebron having feel out games and game ones all the time,

947
00:46:15,120 --> 00:46:18,040
Speaker 2: but that has clearly not been the case for the

948
00:46:18,120 --> 00:46:19,839
Speaker 2: Lakers this season. They come out and they know they

949
00:46:19,840 --> 00:46:21,880
Speaker 2: got to win game one. I heard Gilbert Arenas on

950
00:46:21,880 --> 00:46:24,880
Speaker 2: a podcast say that he thinks game one is the

951
00:46:24,960 --> 00:46:27,799
Speaker 2: easiest game for a road team to win because you

952
00:46:27,840 --> 00:46:31,160
Speaker 2: withstand like the first burst and all the energy in

953
00:46:31,200 --> 00:46:33,239
Speaker 2: the building, And if you're able to withstand that, then

954
00:46:33,239 --> 00:46:34,839
Speaker 2: you're in the game. You got a chance to win

955
00:46:34,880 --> 00:46:37,080
Speaker 2: because maybe then the home team gets a little bit shaky.

956
00:46:37,160 --> 00:46:39,279
Speaker 2: Lakers got to win a road game at some point

957
00:46:39,320 --> 00:46:42,759
Speaker 2: in this series. So stealing game one has been part

958
00:46:42,800 --> 00:46:45,160
Speaker 2: of the recipe for LA performing so well in the

959
00:46:45,200 --> 00:46:47,839
Speaker 2: playoffs this year. So huge, huge game tonight. We'll see

960
00:46:47,840 --> 00:46:50,040
Speaker 2: how they deal with the altitude. That's another question. This

961
00:46:50,080 --> 00:46:52,279
Speaker 2: is real home court advantages for both teams, so it

962
00:46:52,280 --> 00:46:53,320
Speaker 2: should be a banger series.

963
00:46:53,400 --> 00:46:57,279
Speaker 4: Yeah, the Knights have been incredible at home. We may

964
00:46:57,600 --> 00:47:02,280
Speaker 4: watch that after we watch the Draft Lottery on playback tonight.

965
00:47:02,440 --> 00:47:05,040
Speaker 4: Stay tuned, just stick with us. We'll be be tuning

967
00:47:10,200 --> 00:47:14,560
Speaker 4: But join us playback dot tv, Slash no Dunks, listen

Speaker 4: to our commentary, watch along with us. It'll be a blast.

969
00:47:19,120 --> 00:47:22,160
Speaker 4: And I've got to correct what I said earlier. I

970
00:47:22,280 --> 00:47:26,600
Speaker 4: mentioned a comment from the stream team basically ripping Jordan Poole,

971
00:47:26,760 --> 00:47:31,000
Speaker 4: putting it in a wrap line saying, trade value lower

972
00:47:31,040 --> 00:47:32,960
Speaker 4: than Jordan Poole. Is that a good line? Is that

973
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:35,480
Speaker 4: a good disc line? Trade value lower than Jordan Poole.

974
00:47:36,719 --> 00:47:39,640
Speaker 4: Put a beat behind that is what Roberto aguil Are

975
00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:41,879
Speaker 4: meant to say, not put a brat behind that. There

976
00:47:41,920 --> 00:47:46,000
Speaker 4: was a typo. There was a typo and I and

977
00:47:45,120 --> 00:47:48,840
Speaker 4: I recited something that had a typo. What an idiot,

978
00:47:49,800 --> 00:47:54,880
Speaker 4: what a dumb move? Trade value? It's definitely on him.

979
00:47:55,040 --> 00:47:57,920
Speaker 4: But that's all The line was trade value lower than

980
00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:00,640
Speaker 4: Jordan Poole. Somebody could say that it's to start to

981
00:48:00,719 --> 00:48:01,319
Speaker 4: a great line.

982
00:48:01,320 --> 00:48:01,560
Speaker 2: I thick.

983
00:48:01,640 --> 00:48:03,319
Speaker 4: Yeah, But if somebody's going to write a rap line

984
00:48:03,320 --> 00:48:05,640
Speaker 4: about Jordan Poole. It's going to be something about the batties.

985
00:48:05,719 --> 00:48:06,520
Speaker 2: Courtside batties.

986
00:48:06,840 --> 00:48:12,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, didn't play well. Not enough batties that gives

987
00:48:12,200 --> 00:48:15,000
Speaker 4: him an excuse. Actually, there's probably a better pool line.

988
00:48:15,120 --> 00:48:18,960
Speaker 2: Trade value lower than Jordan Poole court side batties got

989
00:48:18,960 --> 00:48:22,160
Speaker 2: me looking like a fool. I don't know if it

990
00:48:22,200 --> 00:48:25,040
Speaker 2: actually makes sense the man play, but it rhymes, so

991
00:48:25,040 --> 00:48:25,680
Speaker 2: we're on the way.

992
00:48:27,040 --> 00:48:31,320
Speaker 4: Uh. Trade value lower than Jordan Poole tasses podcast listener

993
00:48:31,360 --> 00:48:35,399
Speaker 4: line at the beginning of shows is not cool. That's

994
00:48:35,400 --> 00:48:40,440
Speaker 4: what Leo Gomon said. Oh no, yeah, if I if

995
00:48:40,440 --> 00:48:46,000
Speaker 4: I'm reciting a Leo Goman line, then it's time to go.
