Speaker 1: After a successful eight season run, Quinn Snyder decides to
Speaker 1: step down, and immediately following that, you know you're hearing
Speaker 1: Mitchell is kind of in limbo with the organization and
Speaker 1: what he might possibly want to do. He still has
Speaker 1: four years a hundred and thirty five million left with
Speaker 1: the player option in his final year. That's next for
Speaker 1: the Jazz? Was next for the Jazz is a repeat
Speaker 1: of the last eight years. Nothing. Welcome back to another
Speaker 1: edition of What's Burning New York version We out here
Speaker 1: Free b G, free b G, just free b G
Speaker 1: two b G free man. Obviously, Brittney Grinder has been
Speaker 1: detained for a hundred plus days. When this show drops,
Speaker 1: it will be a hundred and eleven days since she's
Speaker 1: been locked up. Very unfortunate situation right now, man, We
Speaker 1: just want to send our love out to her. Continue
Speaker 1: to hold it down. Thoughts and prayers to her and
Speaker 1: her family um as she continues to go through this
Speaker 1: bullshit man, Free b G two b G Free him. Jack.
Speaker 1: Game two of the finals last night, pretty evenly matched
Speaker 1: first half, Golden State outscores Boston thirteen and the third
Speaker 1: and it was pretty much over after that. Tatum, one
Speaker 1: of the first half finish with eight, Brown had seventeen.
Speaker 1: Didn't shoot the ball very well. Horford, Smart and White,
Speaker 1: who had sixty five combined points in Game one, only
Speaker 1: ended up with sixteen. White had twelve of those. Talk
Speaker 1: to me about what you saw last night in game two?
Speaker 1: Well one, Steve Kurr did a great job of switching lineups,
Speaker 1: throwing some different athletic, bigger guys out there to deal
Speaker 1: with Al Horford and shut him down. I think if
Speaker 1: the sellers expected Margot Smart to get five games and
Speaker 1: they got another thing coming, because I know he's one
Speaker 1: of the best defensive players in league, and he's deep
Speaker 1: as a player, yell, but he's not all that on offense.
Speaker 1: To me, it takes a lot of energy out of
Speaker 1: you offense when you gotta chase Stephan Clay around. So
Speaker 1: Tatum has been great. I think you gotta expect that
Speaker 1: he's been great the whole play else So I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm expect him to be Well, what is everybody else
Speaker 1: gonna do? They're not gonna have big games like they
Speaker 1: had in Game one. God, they did a great job,
Speaker 1: but making step did a great job of carrying the
Speaker 1: team doing doing his job still and the table to
Speaker 1: win by that margin and Clay not have a good game,
Speaker 1: it says a lot and that has the Wards get
Speaker 1: feeling great about themselves going to Boston. So you know,
Speaker 1: it played out just like I said. I knew go
Speaker 1: to State was gonna have a better game and then
Speaker 1: there was gonna be more physical and play better on defense,
Speaker 1: and uh it turned out their way. Shout out GP
Speaker 1: two for making his return, reporter getting healthy. Good to
Speaker 1: see both those boys back on the court. With all
Speaker 1: that said, Boston did that we're supposed to do. I
Speaker 1: went on the road and got one game, and I
Speaker 1: think if we've learned anything is not to overreact to
Speaker 1: one game. You know, Boston had a great fourth quarter
Speaker 1: in Game one and blew them boys out. Golden State
Speaker 1: second half run blew them out. So it's one one.
Speaker 1: They're going back to Boston. But I agree with you again,
Speaker 1: smart Horford and White combined four over sixty points in
Speaker 1: game one, and so my question after game one is
Speaker 1: can they consistently do that? And you know, again, we're
Speaker 1: not gonna over react. I think it's gonna be somewhere
Speaker 1: in that middle. Smartest actually scored really well during the playoffs,
Speaker 1: Horford is played really well, but I don't think they're
Speaker 1: gonna be at sixty five. Those combined that, I also
Speaker 1: don't think they're gonna be as low as they were,
Speaker 1: so I think they'll find a nice steady median um
Speaker 1: moving forward. But I'm excited, man. I think this is
Speaker 1: gonna be a great series. Both teams are capable of
Speaker 1: winning on the other team floor, so I'm excited for
Speaker 1: Game three. It's gonna be exciting. The Draymond effect. You know,
Speaker 1: it's funny when teams say, oh, all this talking or
Speaker 1: all drey what is Draymond doing? Is not gonna affect us?
Speaker 1: But they're talking about it, so obviously they're thinking about it.
Speaker 1: Very solid game like nine, seven and six, a lot
Speaker 1: of great, big defensive plays. To the people that don't
Speaker 1: understand talking about Draymond's in portants that doesn't necessarily always
Speaker 1: show up within the numbers rag pop of vegetail. Every
Speaker 1: championship team needs a Ronald Test, needs a Draymond. Game
Speaker 1: needs a Steven Jackson, you know what I mean. And
Speaker 1: a lot of times it's just plass to to to
Speaker 1: funk it up to those ship in the game and
Speaker 1: uh Jraymond has been great at that, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, And he knows his role on offense or
Speaker 1: his role is just it's not uh exciting, it's not
Speaker 1: sexy to see. But the things you do are there
Speaker 1: really matter. Now on the flip side, I have to
Speaker 1: say this, he kind of walk on the fine line
Speaker 1: because those same files and the steals that he got
Speaker 1: at home and and the little kicks and all that
Speaker 1: he get kicked out on the road. So I think
Speaker 1: he needs to tone it down a little bit. But
Speaker 1: because he's pushing the fine line. And now if you
Speaker 1: get kicked out of game or something this series trouble,
Speaker 1: but not even that, Matt, there's no excuse for you now,
Speaker 1: Not now. You're a dumb player, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: Not now, It ain't no excuse me, the mad excuse
Speaker 1: for you with with in Cleveland all that. You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, that you wasn't that series. But now
Speaker 1: if you do something like that today, after all that's
Speaker 1: happened in your career, after all you've been through with
Speaker 1: the referees at this point, to win another championship, if
Speaker 1: you do something to jebardize your championship, right now it's
Speaker 1: gonna look real bad on Draymond Green. But as great
Speaker 1: as he is and as much as he do for
Speaker 1: that team, he has to pull it back a little. Bro.
Speaker 1: He has to pull it back a little because if
Speaker 1: we was playing and some of that ship he doing
Speaker 1: on my soul, Bro, on my soul, he would have
Speaker 1: been on his back pockets. You know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: I love little Bro because I'm just wee the same
Speaker 1: type of player, and I'm a Warrior fan. So I'm
Speaker 1: saying it from passion of wanting them to win, not
Speaker 1: hating no little Bro. You know what I'm saying. I
Speaker 1: just want him tone it down a little bit and
Speaker 1: continue to be great in what he's doing, and don't
Speaker 1: let that ship take away from him being helping his team,
Speaker 1: because I know sometimes when when they're doing doing games,
Speaker 1: I get too caught up in that and it affects
Speaker 1: my play and it hurts my team. You know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, I've been there. I'm speaking from experience, so
Speaker 1: that's all I'm trying to say to do. I think
Speaker 1: he understands his importance, but then at the same time,
Speaker 1: like every foul call, he's jumping up and reacting. I'm
Speaker 1: just like, bro, they need you, like obviously everybody, but
Speaker 1: he's that key component to me that you use the
Speaker 1: Draymond green and that's that's it. That's it. They don't
Speaker 1: have a chance. So now, yeah, again he's on that
Speaker 1: fine line. I hope he stays on the right side
Speaker 1: of the law. So Draymond did his job from talking
Speaker 1: to the players on the court, talking to the bench,
Speaker 1: the coaches, the referee, ease flip side. Marcus Smart is
Speaker 1: that guy for them, obviously a different type of leader,
Speaker 1: defensive player of the Year. What do you feel like
Speaker 1: Marcus Smart needs to do to keep his team where
Speaker 1: they need to be mentally? He got a tough job.
Speaker 1: If that's his job, and his job at the guard stuff,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know. I don't know how
Speaker 1: you can do both. I can't score, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean? And I like, I can't expect that from
Speaker 1: him this series for him to be the emotional leader
Speaker 1: al hal for that somebody who wants to take the
Speaker 1: responsibility this series. This series the responsibility has of scoring,
Speaker 1: being able to chase stuff around and be a vocal leader,
Speaker 1: like that's a lot in the finals with your stars
Speaker 1: being two other players. You know what I'm saying. So
Speaker 1: somebody's gotta shoulder some of that. I agree. So to
Speaker 1: be interesting to see again game by game headed to Boston.
Speaker 1: You know TV guards is gonna be rocking. We're gonna
Speaker 1: see what happens on Wednesday being town again. Pretty even
Speaker 1: first half for Golden State. I think it started turning
Speaker 1: with Pools buzzer beater, uh to go into halftime and
Speaker 1: I said, he's gonna hit that bitch too. As soon
Speaker 1: as he pulled up and shouts like this is going in,
Speaker 1: just hit the three. Before that, he hits it. And
Speaker 1: after that the wheels kind of came off. Pool who
Speaker 1: struggled in Game one, Who has been amazing. He was
Speaker 1: up for the most improved player of the years after
Speaker 1: the twenty plus points a game in the playoffs. His
Speaker 1: numbers are down after Game one had seventeen last night.
Speaker 1: How important is he to this team? Very important. He
Speaker 1: gives them a boost and the lack of offense that
Speaker 1: Draymond that Draymond gives them with the starting five, he
Speaker 1: gives him that boost when he comes in the game.
Speaker 1: I think he didn't play himself into a big bag.
Speaker 1: This offseason. Um, and I'm happy for him for that.
Speaker 1: But this kid can really play him. And I I'm
Speaker 1: telling you, I got Golden State going on the road
Speaker 1: and win these games. Winning his next game, but he's
Speaker 1: gonna have a big game in the series, and it's
Speaker 1: gonna be on the road. Who are gonna have a
Speaker 1: big game on the road in this series? Bro? And Uh,
Speaker 1: I'm just happy he was every chance to get a
Speaker 1: good feel about his offensive game at home before they
Speaker 1: go on the road, and those two shots you know
Speaker 1: before the half is big. I love Pool, I love
Speaker 1: his game. Uh. You know, they found a diamond in
Speaker 1: the rough. Um. Obviously gonna be able for some big money,
Speaker 1: probably twenty plus per year moving forward. Um. But he
Speaker 1: is a key component, another key component who has struggled
Speaker 1: as far as Clay Thompson, Um, you know, trying to
Speaker 1: find his rhythm, and he's always good for one or
Speaker 1: two big games during the series, whether it's at home
Speaker 1: or road. It doesn't matter to Clay as someone who
Speaker 1: is one of the greatest shoots we've ever seen struggling
Speaker 1: right now, what kind of advice would you give him? Well, like,
Speaker 1: like my boy also say that's black cow that's black cow. Well,
Speaker 1: I ain't worried about slack cow. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: Clay gonna shoot the motherfucker's if you miss him, He's
Speaker 1: gonna shoot the motherfucker's when he make them, and when
Speaker 1: he makes them, you might as well just gonna make
Speaker 1: sure you up in front of the TV because it's
Speaker 1: gonna be musty. He's due for at least two big games,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, and he's gonna have him.
Speaker 1: I'm not worried about Clay. He's been here, He's been
Speaker 1: through a lot, you know what I'm saying. For him
Speaker 1: to be playing right now, the level's playing, that's still
Speaker 1: competing with a chance to win a championship on this team,
Speaker 1: that says a lot everything he's been through. So I
Speaker 1: ain't worried about Clay. And there's nothing I would tell him.
Speaker 1: Throw the ball up and let Clay do his thing.
Speaker 1: Steph has continued to be steph Um. You know. There's
Speaker 1: a lot of talk coming into the finals that he
Speaker 1: needs a finals m VP to solidify his greatness. Finally,
Speaker 1: I think he's the only person average five and five
Speaker 1: throughout the playoffs been killing it again this year. What
Speaker 1: makes Steph so good in these big moments. I think
Speaker 1: he kind of reminds me a lot of Tim Dunk
Speaker 1: he had even killed. You can't get him out of
Speaker 1: his game, you know what I'm saying. He's so locked in,
Speaker 1: the talking, the trash, the dancing, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: Minus the dancing, he locked in. But I just think
Speaker 1: the dynamic that he brings to the game basically makes
Speaker 1: him unguardable. If you see the shot he shot from
Speaker 1: the hash and damn they're half court. I'm ting off
Speaker 1: the dribble though, and knew it was cash like and
Speaker 1: he's done that a number of times. So just the
Speaker 1: way he shoots the ball, and and the and the
Speaker 1: and the problems he posted a defense dog nobody he's
Speaker 1: ever seen no ships like this before. Man, this kid
Speaker 1: is definitely a once in a lifetime talent. Bro. I'm
Speaker 1: glad I was done we got a chance to play
Speaker 1: with him a little bit. And but this motherfucker his
Speaker 1: I'm real something else, something else, So looking forward to
Speaker 1: continue to see his excellence. Game three moving to Boston
Speaker 1: TV Gardens. Like I said earlier, We'll be rocking. Boston
Speaker 1: is currently favorite by three and a half points. According
Speaker 1: to our favorite sponsors, DraftKings, who needs to step up
Speaker 1: in Boston were already spoke you know what Tatum's gonna give,
Speaker 1: you know what Brown is gonna give you? Who needs
Speaker 1: to step up for the Celtics to get that win
Speaker 1: at home? Well, normally at home, guys like Pritchard step
Speaker 1: up and have big games to give them boost to
Speaker 1: win this series, They're gonna need another big game from
Speaker 1: Al Harford. You know he had to hit. That's the
Speaker 1: only reason why they got that one, that winning and
Speaker 1: uh and Golden State, that's the same. Sportcast gotta step up.
Speaker 1: We know what Tatum gonna do, we know what Brown
Speaker 1: gonna do. If they're Portcast, we have to give them
Speaker 1: that game one type of game. Again. I agree again,
Speaker 1: guys obviously don't really play better and you know when
Speaker 1: you speak on role players, they nor really play better
Speaker 1: at home. Um, they played well in game one, can
Speaker 1: they come back and play well in Game three? At
Speaker 1: the Celtics have shot the three ball well, just you know,
Speaker 1: Golden State made those third quarter runs. I'm really excited
Speaker 1: to see what these guys can do. You know, this
Speaker 1: is their first real just their first taste of that
Speaker 1: that big dance, you know what I mean, And they
Speaker 1: showed in game one they wasn't afraid of the moment.
Speaker 1: They come back down to earth after game two. So
Speaker 1: game three, going back to home, I'm sure they're very
Speaker 1: confident and it'll be interesting to see how they come
Speaker 1: out the gates on Wednesday night. So a lot of
Speaker 1: different matchups, cool matchups. Is kind of hard to say
Speaker 1: match ups because there's so much switching. But what any
Speaker 1: any particular matchup you paying attention to. I like the
Speaker 1: Jayleen Brown Clay Thompson matchup. Those two of the best
Speaker 1: players in the league, and just to see both of
Speaker 1: these guys play at the highest level going against each other.
Speaker 1: Right now, Jennen Brown is playing a little better than Clay,
Speaker 1: but the series is still even so but we'll see
Speaker 1: game three. I like that Smart Curry matchup. Course, Curry
Speaker 1: in his career shoots against Smart, which is his fourth
Speaker 1: worst against any single opponent, so it hasn't necessarily held
Speaker 1: true in these first two games. But I just you know,
Speaker 1: Marcus Martin makes that boy work physical with him, can
Speaker 1: move his feet, quick hands, So I like watching those
Speaker 1: two grades go to work next up on the radar,
Speaker 1: presented you by Draft Kings, gonna switch it up a
Speaker 1: little bit. Stacked two teams being no stranger to the
Speaker 1: long ball team. Props on odds for three point shots made,
Speaker 1: Boston Celtics are minus one ten to go over fourteen
Speaker 1: and a half. Also minus one ten to be under
Speaker 1: fourteen and a half. So if you're a betting man,
Speaker 1: next game Boston gonna hit over fourteen and a half
Speaker 1: or under fourteen and a half. I say, first home game,
Speaker 1: they're going to hit overo minus one ten. Golden State
Speaker 1: going into game three our minus one twenty to be
Speaker 1: over fourteen and a half and plus a hundred to
Speaker 1: be under fourteen and a half. I got them winning.
Speaker 1: I'm saying over the winning, it's gotta be over. So
Speaker 1: you've got two over. It's gonna be a shoot man.
Speaker 1: Closing thoughts, big shoutout, always showing a lot of love
Speaker 1: and obviously his company sent us these uh free bgs.
Speaker 1: Shut up uninterrupted and Lebron James announced he is a billionaire.
Speaker 1: The Three Comic Club. Give this man his flowers real quick,
Speaker 1: shoot him so I know, so set us So no congratulations, bro,
Speaker 1: we all know that's big, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: But just to see him reached his feet and make
Speaker 1: his homeboys millionaires, That's what I always talked about, Like, man,
Speaker 1: he'd go just for that. Man. So keep inspiring us, man,
Speaker 1: keep you know, showing basketball players that you know it
Speaker 1: ain't just about basketball, is how you carry yourself, how
Speaker 1: you treat your family, you know what I mean, the whole,
Speaker 1: the whole aspect of how it should be done. Bro.
Speaker 1: So I salute when you sit back and look thirty
Speaker 1: forty years from now, hype that surrounded him, and for
Speaker 1: him to be able to live up to the hype
Speaker 1: and exceed all expectations, walk that fine line of professionalism
Speaker 1: and still living your life, win titles, be one of
Speaker 1: the greatest players of all time, and then the top
Speaker 1: that off, become a billionaire, make your homeboys millionaires. I mean,
Speaker 1: there's not much more you can really say. I mean, really,
Speaker 1: just salute this guy. I mean a day and age
Speaker 1: where it's it's it's cool to the show hate. It's
Speaker 1: beautiful to see him rise above all this ship and
Speaker 1: cancel all that noise, man, and just continue to be him.
Speaker 1: Another thing is the personal shadow. We also saw you
Speaker 1: tweet the other day. Be looking for you to come
Speaker 1: on some podcasts. Me and Jack both been on your line.
Speaker 1: H d M two doubt all d M you after
Speaker 1: the show. But you know all the smokers where you
Speaker 1: gotta pull up. You already know. No surprise here Jack,
Speaker 1: for me, you know, actually for both of us. We've
Speaker 1: always said the Utah is a solid regular season team,
Speaker 1: but we're always missing that one piece. We didn't trust
Speaker 1: him in the playoffs. After a successful eight season run,
Speaker 1: Quinn Snyder decides to step down, and immediately following that,
Speaker 1: you know you're hearing Mitchell is kind of in limbo
Speaker 1: with the organization and what he might possibly want to do.
Speaker 1: He still has four years a hundred and thirty five
Speaker 1: million left with the player option in his final year.
Speaker 1: Two part question what's next for the Jazz? And do
Speaker 1: you see Mitchell in a Jazz uniform next year? What's
Speaker 1: next for the Jazz is a repeat of the last
Speaker 1: eight years. Nothing, What's what's What's What's next? For Donovan?
Speaker 1: Mitchell is going somewhere else. I'm telling you couldn't be
Speaker 1: here even Quin Snyder. He want to go somewhere else.
Speaker 1: And you know what I'm saying, Like he stepped down
Speaker 1: the graveyard. Bro This is a graveyard. Y'all been sitting
Speaker 1: over here dying for years, cheering for the jazz broth
Speaker 1: for years. Quin Snyder and had enough. Who like, Man, look, Roy,
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna go and get somebody, somebody else die
Speaker 1: here because I'm not gonna do it. Still fairly young coach.
Speaker 1: He went in looking like a great coach, energetic coach.
Speaker 1: Come out looking a little older, a little worn down.
Speaker 1: But for him, I think that says a lot. Man.
Speaker 1: He stepped down. It's not like he's stepping down to retire.
Speaker 1: I'm sure he still wants to work. He's just like,
Speaker 1: I've had enough of this ship. Ye, enough of this ship?
Speaker 1: Three teams off the top of your head. Do you
Speaker 1: think Donovan Mitchell would fit on? He would feel good
Speaker 1: in Atlanta with Trey Young. We'll be nice in Atlanta
Speaker 1: with Trey Young because they can both be free. That
Speaker 1: would it look nice? Of course, New York. I think
Speaker 1: he'll help him. They wouldn't be that good, but he'll
Speaker 1: look good in New York. And I also think for
Speaker 1: me to make the biggest movie he can make the
Speaker 1: big it would be to go to Miami. Some type
Speaker 1: of way get dona er side by side. Interesting, it's
Speaker 1: a lot of buckets. Shout out to our brother. Rashid
Speaker 1: Wallace just signed as Darvin Ham's assistant. Shout out our brother,
Speaker 1: Darvin ham Man head job in l A. It's not
Speaker 1: gonna be easy. Man. That's a hot, hot, hot seat.
Speaker 1: You're signing, You're setting yourself up for a lot of criticism.
Speaker 1: But I think d Ham is, you know, obviously paid.
Speaker 1: His dudes come behind a great lineage of you know, coaches,
Speaker 1: he's he's he's done his time in front of But
Speaker 1: I think continuing to add people like Rashid Wallace, the
Speaker 1: Lakers need that was just that, are gonna hold these
Speaker 1: dudes in that locker room accountable. And I know for
Speaker 1: a fact both of them dudes. You're not talking back
Speaker 1: to Darvin Hammer, Hi Wallace. I know Rashi might Darvin
Speaker 1: Ham as big as motherfucker. So I think accountability is
Speaker 1: gonna be big in that locker room, is gonna be important.
Speaker 1: So I think those are two big, big pickups. A
Speaker 1: lot of people were talking about was worried about Darvin
Speaker 1: Ham as players. We loved it because we know who
Speaker 1: he is. You know what I mean, but bringing Rashi, now,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, that's what they need. That lot, that locker
Speaker 1: room is gonna be totally different, the whole dynamic of
Speaker 1: how they approach games. You know what I'm saying, how
Speaker 1: they still it's gonna be. It's gonna be the culture.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be the actual basketball culture that respects the game.
Speaker 1: But also understand, you know what I'm saying, we gotta
Speaker 1: enjoy this ship too. It's gonna be all that and one.
Speaker 1: And you got two of the perfect guys for that. No,
Speaker 1: I agree, and I think it just to me, it
Speaker 1: just Shane lights more on guys that have been there
Speaker 1: and done that. Not that you have to have that
Speaker 1: to be successful, but I feel to relate to these
Speaker 1: younger players that are hard to really get their respect
Speaker 1: and attention you need. Motherfucker's didn't put that work in,
Speaker 1: and both these guys have put that way. You don't.
Speaker 1: First year here in the finals, I don't want to
Speaker 1: hear nothing. That's prime example. Well that's a wrap, man,
Speaker 1: We's Bernie. You can catch this every week on Showtime
Speaker 1: Basketball YouTube and on Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok at Show
Speaker 1: Basketball Peace m
