0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:03.520
<v Speaker 1>After a successful eight season run, Quinn Snyder decides to

0:00:03.560 --> 0:00:07.360
<v Speaker 1>step down, and immediately following that, you know you're hearing

0:00:07.400 --> 0:00:10.639
<v Speaker 1>Mitchell is kind of in limbo with the organization and

0:00:10.680 --> 0:00:12.720
<v Speaker 1>what he might possibly want to do. He still has

0:00:12.760 --> 0:00:15.440
<v Speaker 1>four years a hundred and thirty five million left with

0:00:15.520 --> 0:00:17.840
<v Speaker 1>the player option in his final year. That's next for

0:00:17.880 --> 0:00:20.639
<v Speaker 1>the Jazz? Was next for the Jazz is a repeat

0:00:20.680 --> 0:00:26.640
<v Speaker 1>of the last eight years. Nothing. Welcome back to another

0:00:26.760 --> 0:00:31.160
<v Speaker 1>edition of What's Burning New York version We out here

<v Speaker 1>bullshit man, Free b G two b G Free him. Jack.

0:01:04.200 --> 0:01:07.000
<v Speaker 1>Game two of the finals last night, pretty evenly matched

0:01:07.040 --> 0:01:12.600
<v Speaker 1>first half, Golden State outscores Boston thirteen and the third

0:01:13.520 --> 0:01:16.640
<v Speaker 1>and it was pretty much over after that. Tatum, one

0:01:16.640 --> 0:01:19.280
<v Speaker 1>of the first half finish with eight, Brown had seventeen.

0:01:19.280 --> 0:01:23.280
<v Speaker 1>Didn't shoot the ball very well. Horford, Smart and White,

0:01:23.319 --> 0:01:26.679
<v Speaker 1>who had sixty five combined points in Game one, only

0:01:26.760 --> 0:01:30.119
<v Speaker 1>ended up with sixteen. White had twelve of those. Talk

0:01:30.160 --> 0:01:31.880
<v Speaker 1>to me about what you saw last night in game two?

0:01:32.440 --> 0:01:35.080
<v Speaker 1>Well one, Steve Kurr did a great job of switching lineups,

0:01:35.400 --> 0:01:38.640
<v Speaker 1>throwing some different athletic, bigger guys out there to deal

0:01:38.680 --> 0:01:41.200
<v Speaker 1>with Al Horford and shut him down. I think if

0:01:41.240 --> 0:01:44.320
<v Speaker 1>the sellers expected Margot Smart to get five games and

0:01:44.400 --> 0:01:47.000
<v Speaker 1>they got another thing coming, because I know he's one

0:01:47.000 --> 0:01:48.960
<v Speaker 1>of the best defensive players in league, and he's deep

0:01:49.000 --> 0:01:50.720
<v Speaker 1>as a player, yell, but he's not all that on offense.

0:01:50.720 --> 0:01:52.440
<v Speaker 1>To me, it takes a lot of energy out of

0:01:52.480 --> 0:01:55.440
<v Speaker 1>you offense when you gotta chase Stephan Clay around. So

0:01:56.240 --> 0:01:58.760
<v Speaker 1>Tatum has been great. I think you gotta expect that

0:01:58.800 --> 0:02:01.360
<v Speaker 1>he's been great the whole play else So I mean,

0:02:01.440 --> 0:02:03.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm expect him to be Well, what is everybody else

0:02:03.480 --> 0:02:05.120
<v Speaker 1>gonna do? They're not gonna have big games like they

0:02:05.160 --> 0:02:07.120
<v Speaker 1>had in Game one. God, they did a great job,

0:02:07.120 --> 0:02:08.679
<v Speaker 1>but making step did a great job of carrying the

0:02:08.720 --> 0:02:11.880
<v Speaker 1>team doing doing his job still and the table to

0:02:11.960 --> 0:02:14.440
<v Speaker 1>win by that margin and Clay not have a good game,

0:02:14.480 --> 0:02:16.560
<v Speaker 1>it says a lot and that has the Wards get

0:02:16.600 --> 0:02:18.880
<v Speaker 1>feeling great about themselves going to Boston. So you know,

0:02:19.400 --> 0:02:21.200
<v Speaker 1>it played out just like I said. I knew go

0:02:21.280 --> 0:02:23.000
<v Speaker 1>to State was gonna have a better game and then

0:02:23.000 --> 0:02:25.200
<v Speaker 1>there was gonna be more physical and play better on defense,

0:02:25.600 --> 0:02:28.040
<v Speaker 1>and uh it turned out their way. Shout out GP

0:02:28.160 --> 0:02:31.320
<v Speaker 1>two for making his return, reporter getting healthy. Good to

0:02:31.360 --> 0:02:34.440
<v Speaker 1>see both those boys back on the court. With all

0:02:34.480 --> 0:02:36.720
<v Speaker 1>that said, Boston did that we're supposed to do. I

0:02:36.760 --> 0:02:38.760
<v Speaker 1>went on the road and got one game, and I

0:02:38.760 --> 0:02:41.400
<v Speaker 1>think if we've learned anything is not to overreact to

0:02:42.080 --> 0:02:44.760
<v Speaker 1>one game. You know, Boston had a great fourth quarter

0:02:44.800 --> 0:02:48.080
<v Speaker 1>in Game one and blew them boys out. Golden State

0:02:48.440 --> 0:02:51.120
<v Speaker 1>second half run blew them out. So it's one one.

0:02:51.120 --> 0:02:53.919
<v Speaker 1>They're going back to Boston. But I agree with you again,

0:02:54.200 --> 0:02:58.160
<v Speaker 1>smart Horford and White combined four over sixty points in

0:02:58.240 --> 0:03:01.120
<v Speaker 1>game one, and so my question after game one is

0:03:01.160 --> 0:03:05.280
<v Speaker 1>can they consistently do that? And you know, again, we're

0:03:05.280 --> 0:03:07.040
<v Speaker 1>not gonna over react. I think it's gonna be somewhere

0:03:07.040 --> 0:03:09.880
<v Speaker 1>in that middle. Smartest actually scored really well during the playoffs,

0:03:10.200 --> 0:03:12.120
<v Speaker 1>Horford is played really well, but I don't think they're

0:03:12.160 --> 0:03:15.160
<v Speaker 1>gonna be at sixty five. Those combined that, I also

0:03:15.160 --> 0:03:16.600
<v Speaker 1>don't think they're gonna be as low as they were,

0:03:16.600 --> 0:03:19.359
<v Speaker 1>so I think they'll find a nice steady median um

0:03:19.400 --> 0:03:21.480
<v Speaker 1>moving forward. But I'm excited, man. I think this is

0:03:21.480 --> 0:03:23.799
<v Speaker 1>gonna be a great series. Both teams are capable of

0:03:23.800 --> 0:03:26.480
<v Speaker 1>winning on the other team floor, so I'm excited for

0:03:26.520 --> 0:03:30.760
<v Speaker 1>Game three. It's gonna be exciting. The Draymond effect. You know,

0:03:31.120 --> 0:03:33.799
<v Speaker 1>it's funny when teams say, oh, all this talking or

0:03:33.840 --> 0:03:36.280
<v Speaker 1>all drey what is Draymond doing? Is not gonna affect us?

0:03:36.520 --> 0:03:39.440
<v Speaker 1>But they're talking about it, so obviously they're thinking about it.

0:03:39.600 --> 0:03:43.280
<v Speaker 1>Very solid game like nine, seven and six, a lot

0:03:43.320 --> 0:03:45.720
<v Speaker 1>of great, big defensive plays. To the people that don't

0:03:45.760 --> 0:03:48.840
<v Speaker 1>understand talking about Draymond's in portants that doesn't necessarily always

0:03:48.840 --> 0:03:51.520
<v Speaker 1>show up within the numbers rag pop of vegetail. Every

0:03:51.600 --> 0:03:54.240
<v Speaker 1>championship team needs a Ronald Test, needs a Draymond. Game

0:03:54.320 --> 0:03:56.480
<v Speaker 1>needs a Steven Jackson, you know what I mean. And

0:03:56.520 --> 0:03:58.400
<v Speaker 1>a lot of times it's just plass to to to

0:03:58.480 --> 0:04:00.720
<v Speaker 1>funk it up to those ship in the game and

0:04:00.920 --> 0:04:02.520
<v Speaker 1>uh Jraymond has been great at that, you know what

0:04:02.560 --> 0:04:04.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying, And he knows his role on offense or

0:04:04.840 --> 0:04:08.640
<v Speaker 1>his role is just it's not uh exciting, it's not

0:04:08.680 --> 0:04:10.480
<v Speaker 1>sexy to see. But the things you do are there

0:04:10.520 --> 0:04:13.760
<v Speaker 1>really matter. Now on the flip side, I have to

0:04:13.800 --> 0:04:17.320
<v Speaker 1>say this, he kind of walk on the fine line

0:04:17.360 --> 0:04:20.039
<v Speaker 1>because those same files and the steals that he got

0:04:20.279 --> 0:04:22.520
<v Speaker 1>at home and and the little kicks and all that

0:04:22.720 --> 0:04:25.040
<v Speaker 1>he get kicked out on the road. So I think

0:04:25.040 --> 0:04:26.480
<v Speaker 1>he needs to tone it down a little bit. But

0:04:26.560 --> 0:04:28.919
<v Speaker 1>because he's pushing the fine line. And now if you

0:04:28.960 --> 0:04:31.320
<v Speaker 1>get kicked out of game or something this series trouble,

0:04:31.760 --> 0:04:34.360
<v Speaker 1>but not even that, Matt, there's no excuse for you now,

0:04:34.240 --> 0:04:36.600
<v Speaker 1>Not now. You're a dumb player, you know what I'm saying.

0:04:36.600 --> 0:04:38.400
<v Speaker 1>Not now, It ain't no excuse me, the mad excuse

0:04:38.440 --> 0:04:40.440
<v Speaker 1>for you with with in Cleveland all that. You know

0:04:40.440 --> 0:04:42.320
<v Speaker 1>what I'm saying, that you wasn't that series. But now

0:04:42.320 --> 0:04:44.440
<v Speaker 1>if you do something like that today, after all that's

0:04:44.480 --> 0:04:46.360
<v Speaker 1>happened in your career, after all you've been through with

0:04:46.400 --> 0:04:48.640
<v Speaker 1>the referees at this point, to win another championship, if

0:04:48.640 --> 0:04:51.760
<v Speaker 1>you do something to jebardize your championship, right now it's

0:04:51.800 --> 0:04:54.280
<v Speaker 1>gonna look real bad on Draymond Green. But as great

0:04:54.279 --> 0:04:55.560
<v Speaker 1>as he is and as much as he do for

0:04:55.600 --> 0:04:58.080
<v Speaker 1>that team, he has to pull it back a little. Bro.

0:04:58.360 --> 0:05:00.160
<v Speaker 1>He has to pull it back a little because if

0:05:00.160 --> 0:05:02.760
<v Speaker 1>we was playing and some of that ship he doing

0:05:03.440 --> 0:05:06.520
<v Speaker 1>on my soul, Bro, on my soul, he would have

0:05:06.560 --> 0:05:08.400
<v Speaker 1>been on his back pockets. You know what I'm saying,

0:05:08.400 --> 0:05:10.080
<v Speaker 1>I love little Bro because I'm just wee the same

0:05:10.080 --> 0:05:12.200
<v Speaker 1>type of player, and I'm a Warrior fan. So I'm

0:05:12.200 --> 0:05:14.479
<v Speaker 1>saying it from passion of wanting them to win, not

0:05:14.560 --> 0:05:16.160
<v Speaker 1>hating no little Bro. You know what I'm saying. I

0:05:16.200 --> 0:05:17.600
<v Speaker 1>just want him tone it down a little bit and

0:05:17.640 --> 0:05:19.719
<v Speaker 1>continue to be great in what he's doing, and don't

0:05:19.800 --> 0:05:22.560
<v Speaker 1>let that ship take away from him being helping his team,

0:05:22.600 --> 0:05:25.800
<v Speaker 1>because I know sometimes when when they're doing doing games,

0:05:25.800 --> 0:05:27.919
<v Speaker 1>I get too caught up in that and it affects

0:05:27.960 --> 0:05:29.720
<v Speaker 1>my play and it hurts my team. You know what

0:05:29.720 --> 0:05:31.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying, I've been there. I'm speaking from experience, so

0:05:31.960 --> 0:05:33.960
<v Speaker 1>that's all I'm trying to say to do. I think

0:05:34.000 --> 0:05:36.640
<v Speaker 1>he understands his importance, but then at the same time,

0:05:36.720 --> 0:05:39.720
<v Speaker 1>like every foul call, he's jumping up and reacting. I'm

0:05:39.760 --> 0:05:43.159
<v Speaker 1>just like, bro, they need you, like obviously everybody, but

0:05:43.200 --> 0:05:45.920
<v Speaker 1>he's that key component to me that you use the

0:05:46.000 --> 0:05:48.640
<v Speaker 1>Draymond green and that's that's it. That's it. They don't

0:05:48.640 --> 0:05:51.720
<v Speaker 1>have a chance. So now, yeah, again he's on that

0:05:51.760 --> 0:05:53.479
<v Speaker 1>fine line. I hope he stays on the right side

0:05:53.480 --> 0:05:56.640
<v Speaker 1>of the law. So Draymond did his job from talking

0:05:56.640 --> 0:05:58.679
<v Speaker 1>to the players on the court, talking to the bench,

0:05:58.760 --> 0:06:02.359
<v Speaker 1>the coaches, the referee, ease flip side. Marcus Smart is

0:06:02.400 --> 0:06:05.400
<v Speaker 1>that guy for them, obviously a different type of leader,

0:06:05.839 --> 0:06:08.000
<v Speaker 1>defensive player of the Year. What do you feel like

0:06:08.440 --> 0:06:11.000
<v Speaker 1>Marcus Smart needs to do to keep his team where

0:06:11.000 --> 0:06:16.039
<v Speaker 1>they need to be mentally? He got a tough job.

0:06:16.200 --> 0:06:18.520
<v Speaker 1>If that's his job, and his job at the guard stuff,

0:06:18.560 --> 0:06:21.320
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I don't know. I don't know how

0:06:21.320 --> 0:06:23.320
<v Speaker 1>you can do both. I can't score, you know what

0:06:23.320 --> 0:06:25.520
<v Speaker 1>I mean? And I like, I can't expect that from

0:06:25.560 --> 0:06:28.120
<v Speaker 1>him this series for him to be the emotional leader

0:06:28.440 --> 0:06:29.960
<v Speaker 1>al hal for that somebody who wants to take the

0:06:30.040 --> 0:06:34.040
<v Speaker 1>responsibility this series. This series the responsibility has of scoring,

0:06:34.120 --> 0:06:37.159
<v Speaker 1>being able to chase stuff around and be a vocal leader,

0:06:37.240 --> 0:06:40.320
<v Speaker 1>like that's a lot in the finals with your stars

0:06:40.320 --> 0:06:42.360
<v Speaker 1>being two other players. You know what I'm saying. So

0:06:42.480 --> 0:06:45.120
<v Speaker 1>somebody's gotta shoulder some of that. I agree. So to

0:06:45.160 --> 0:06:48.239
<v Speaker 1>be interesting to see again game by game headed to Boston.

0:06:48.760 --> 0:06:51.640
<v Speaker 1>You know TV guards is gonna be rocking. We're gonna

0:06:51.640 --> 0:06:54.719
<v Speaker 1>see what happens on Wednesday being town again. Pretty even

0:06:54.800 --> 0:06:58.640
<v Speaker 1>first half for Golden State. I think it started turning

0:06:59.160 --> 0:07:02.760
<v Speaker 1>with Pools buzzer beater, uh to go into halftime and

0:07:02.800 --> 0:07:04.400
<v Speaker 1>I said, he's gonna hit that bitch too. As soon

0:07:04.400 --> 0:07:06.440
<v Speaker 1>as he pulled up and shouts like this is going in,

0:07:06.720 --> 0:07:09.080
<v Speaker 1>just hit the three. Before that, he hits it. And

0:07:09.120 --> 0:07:11.600
<v Speaker 1>after that the wheels kind of came off. Pool who

0:07:11.600 --> 0:07:14.520
<v Speaker 1>struggled in Game one, Who has been amazing. He was

0:07:14.600 --> 0:07:16.400
<v Speaker 1>up for the most improved player of the years after

0:07:16.440 --> 0:07:18.200
<v Speaker 1>the twenty plus points a game in the playoffs. His

0:07:18.280 --> 0:07:21.760
<v Speaker 1>numbers are down after Game one had seventeen last night.

0:07:22.160 --> 0:07:26.560
<v Speaker 1>How important is he to this team? Very important. He

0:07:26.600 --> 0:07:29.840
<v Speaker 1>gives them a boost and the lack of offense that

0:07:29.920 --> 0:07:33.240
<v Speaker 1>Draymond that Draymond gives them with the starting five, he

0:07:33.280 --> 0:07:34.960
<v Speaker 1>gives him that boost when he comes in the game.

0:07:35.360 --> 0:07:37.560
<v Speaker 1>I think he didn't play himself into a big bag.

0:07:37.680 --> 0:07:40.640
<v Speaker 1>This offseason. Um, and I'm happy for him for that.

0:07:40.720 --> 0:07:42.640
<v Speaker 1>But this kid can really play him. And I I'm

0:07:42.680 --> 0:07:45.520
<v Speaker 1>telling you, I got Golden State going on the road

0:07:45.560 --> 0:07:47.880
<v Speaker 1>and win these games. Winning his next game, but he's

0:07:47.880 --> 0:07:49.960
<v Speaker 1>gonna have a big game in the series, and it's

0:07:49.960 --> 0:07:51.600
<v Speaker 1>gonna be on the road. Who are gonna have a

0:07:51.640 --> 0:07:53.680
<v Speaker 1>big game on the road in this series? Bro? And Uh,

0:07:53.840 --> 0:07:55.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm just happy he was every chance to get a

0:07:55.600 --> 0:07:58.280
<v Speaker 1>good feel about his offensive game at home before they

0:07:58.360 --> 0:08:00.600
<v Speaker 1>go on the road, and those two shots you know

0:08:00.640 --> 0:08:02.400
<v Speaker 1>before the half is big. I love Pool, I love

0:08:02.440 --> 0:08:04.640
<v Speaker 1>his game. Uh. You know, they found a diamond in

0:08:04.640 --> 0:08:07.400
<v Speaker 1>the rough. Um. Obviously gonna be able for some big money,

0:08:07.400 --> 0:08:12.000
<v Speaker 1>probably twenty plus per year moving forward. Um. But he

0:08:12.120 --> 0:08:15.440
<v Speaker 1>is a key component, another key component who has struggled

0:08:15.440 --> 0:08:18.520
<v Speaker 1>as far as Clay Thompson, Um, you know, trying to

0:08:18.560 --> 0:08:21.560
<v Speaker 1>find his rhythm, and he's always good for one or

0:08:21.560 --> 0:08:23.880
<v Speaker 1>two big games during the series, whether it's at home

0:08:24.000 --> 0:08:26.640
<v Speaker 1>or road. It doesn't matter to Clay as someone who

0:08:26.680 --> 0:08:29.320
<v Speaker 1>is one of the greatest shoots we've ever seen struggling

0:08:29.360 --> 0:08:31.880
<v Speaker 1>right now, what kind of advice would you give him? Well, like,

0:08:31.880 --> 0:08:35.240
<v Speaker 1>like my boy also say that's black cow that's black cow. Well,

0:08:35.280 --> 0:08:37.640
<v Speaker 1>I ain't worried about slack cow. You know what I'm saying.

0:08:37.720 --> 0:08:39.840
<v Speaker 1>Clay gonna shoot the motherfucker's if you miss him, He's

0:08:39.840 --> 0:08:41.880
<v Speaker 1>gonna shoot the motherfucker's when he make them, and when

0:08:41.880 --> 0:08:44.480
<v Speaker 1>he makes them, you might as well just gonna make

0:08:44.480 --> 0:08:46.120
<v Speaker 1>sure you up in front of the TV because it's

0:08:46.160 --> 0:08:48.720
<v Speaker 1>gonna be musty. He's due for at least two big games,

0:08:49.080 --> 0:08:50.679
<v Speaker 1>you know what I'm saying, and he's gonna have him.

0:08:50.720 --> 0:08:52.839
<v Speaker 1>I'm not worried about Clay. He's been here, He's been

0:08:52.880 --> 0:08:54.600
<v Speaker 1>through a lot, you know what I'm saying. For him

0:08:54.600 --> 0:08:56.480
<v Speaker 1>to be playing right now, the level's playing, that's still

0:08:56.559 --> 0:08:59.120
<v Speaker 1>competing with a chance to win a championship on this team,

0:08:59.280 --> 0:09:01.280
<v Speaker 1>that says a lot everything he's been through. So I

0:09:01.320 --> 0:09:03.760
<v Speaker 1>ain't worried about Clay. And there's nothing I would tell him.

0:09:04.400 --> 0:09:06.000
<v Speaker 1>Throw the ball up and let Clay do his thing.

0:09:06.720 --> 0:09:09.880
<v Speaker 1>Steph has continued to be steph Um. You know. There's

0:09:09.880 --> 0:09:11.680
<v Speaker 1>a lot of talk coming into the finals that he

0:09:11.720 --> 0:09:16.360
<v Speaker 1>needs a finals m VP to solidify his greatness. Finally,

0:09:16.360 --> 0:09:19.559
<v Speaker 1>I think he's the only person average five and five

0:09:20.440 --> 0:09:24.080
<v Speaker 1>throughout the playoffs been killing it again this year. What

0:09:24.280 --> 0:09:27.280
<v Speaker 1>makes Steph so good in these big moments. I think

0:09:27.559 --> 0:09:29.440
<v Speaker 1>he kind of reminds me a lot of Tim Dunk

0:09:29.480 --> 0:09:31.160
<v Speaker 1>he had even killed. You can't get him out of

0:09:31.160 --> 0:09:33.520
<v Speaker 1>his game, you know what I'm saying. He's so locked in,

0:09:33.640 --> 0:09:36.920
<v Speaker 1>the talking, the trash, the dancing, you know what I'm saying.

0:09:36.920 --> 0:09:40.160
<v Speaker 1>Minus the dancing, he locked in. But I just think

0:09:40.200 --> 0:09:43.199
<v Speaker 1>the dynamic that he brings to the game basically makes

0:09:43.280 --> 0:09:46.400
<v Speaker 1>him unguardable. If you see the shot he shot from

0:09:46.720 --> 0:09:50.200
<v Speaker 1>the hash and damn they're half court. I'm ting off

0:09:50.200 --> 0:09:53.440
<v Speaker 1>the dribble though, and knew it was cash like and

0:09:53.440 --> 0:09:54.920
<v Speaker 1>he's done that a number of times. So just the

0:09:54.920 --> 0:09:56.760
<v Speaker 1>way he shoots the ball, and and the and the

0:09:56.960 --> 0:10:00.240
<v Speaker 1>and the problems he posted a defense dog nobody he's

0:10:00.240 --> 0:10:02.440
<v Speaker 1>ever seen no ships like this before. Man, this kid

0:10:02.520 --> 0:10:05.240
<v Speaker 1>is definitely a once in a lifetime talent. Bro. I'm

0:10:05.280 --> 0:10:06.959
<v Speaker 1>glad I was done we got a chance to play

0:10:07.000 --> 0:10:09.160
<v Speaker 1>with him a little bit. And but this motherfucker his

0:10:09.400 --> 0:10:13.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm real something else, something else, So looking forward to

0:10:13.320 --> 0:10:16.160
<v Speaker 1>continue to see his excellence. Game three moving to Boston

0:10:16.240 --> 0:10:19.280
<v Speaker 1>TV Gardens. Like I said earlier, We'll be rocking. Boston

0:10:19.400 --> 0:10:22.840
<v Speaker 1>is currently favorite by three and a half points. According

0:10:22.880 --> 0:10:26.679
<v Speaker 1>to our favorite sponsors, DraftKings, who needs to step up

0:10:27.080 --> 0:10:29.600
<v Speaker 1>in Boston were already spoke you know what Tatum's gonna give,

0:10:29.600 --> 0:10:31.280
<v Speaker 1>you know what Brown is gonna give you? Who needs

0:10:31.320 --> 0:10:32.959
<v Speaker 1>to step up for the Celtics to get that win

0:10:33.040 --> 0:10:36.000
<v Speaker 1>at home? Well, normally at home, guys like Pritchard step

0:10:36.120 --> 0:10:38.200
<v Speaker 1>up and have big games to give them boost to

0:10:38.240 --> 0:10:39.959
<v Speaker 1>win this series, They're gonna need another big game from

0:10:39.960 --> 0:10:42.600
<v Speaker 1>Al Harford. You know he had to hit. That's the

0:10:42.640 --> 0:10:44.880
<v Speaker 1>only reason why they got that one, that winning and

0:10:44.960 --> 0:10:48.200
<v Speaker 1>uh and Golden State, that's the same. Sportcast gotta step up.

0:10:48.200 --> 0:10:49.680
<v Speaker 1>We know what Tatum gonna do, we know what Brown

0:10:49.720 --> 0:10:52.360
<v Speaker 1>gonna do. If they're Portcast, we have to give them

0:10:52.400 --> 0:10:55.120
<v Speaker 1>that game one type of game. Again. I agree again,

0:10:55.520 --> 0:10:57.520
<v Speaker 1>guys obviously don't really play better and you know when

0:10:57.520 --> 0:10:59.320
<v Speaker 1>you speak on role players, they nor really play better

0:10:59.400 --> 0:11:02.600
<v Speaker 1>at home. Um, they played well in game one, can

0:11:02.640 --> 0:11:05.040
<v Speaker 1>they come back and play well in Game three? At

0:11:05.040 --> 0:11:07.360
<v Speaker 1>the Celtics have shot the three ball well, just you know,

0:11:07.400 --> 0:11:10.080
<v Speaker 1>Golden State made those third quarter runs. I'm really excited

0:11:10.160 --> 0:11:12.679
<v Speaker 1>to see what these guys can do. You know, this

0:11:12.760 --> 0:11:14.840
<v Speaker 1>is their first real just their first taste of that

0:11:14.840 --> 0:11:16.800
<v Speaker 1>that big dance, you know what I mean, And they

0:11:16.840 --> 0:11:18.720
<v Speaker 1>showed in game one they wasn't afraid of the moment.

0:11:19.320 --> 0:11:21.160
<v Speaker 1>They come back down to earth after game two. So

0:11:21.240 --> 0:11:23.160
<v Speaker 1>game three, going back to home, I'm sure they're very

0:11:23.160 --> 0:11:25.160
<v Speaker 1>confident and it'll be interesting to see how they come

0:11:25.160 --> 0:11:28.240
<v Speaker 1>out the gates on Wednesday night. So a lot of

0:11:28.440 --> 0:11:30.720
<v Speaker 1>different matchups, cool matchups. Is kind of hard to say

0:11:30.760 --> 0:11:32.960
<v Speaker 1>match ups because there's so much switching. But what any

0:11:33.000 --> 0:11:35.760
<v Speaker 1>any particular matchup you paying attention to. I like the

0:11:35.840 --> 0:11:39.120
<v Speaker 1>Jayleen Brown Clay Thompson matchup. Those two of the best

0:11:39.120 --> 0:11:41.200
<v Speaker 1>players in the league, and just to see both of

0:11:41.240 --> 0:11:43.480
<v Speaker 1>these guys play at the highest level going against each other.

0:11:43.559 --> 0:11:46.000
<v Speaker 1>Right now, Jennen Brown is playing a little better than Clay,

0:11:46.040 --> 0:11:48.960
<v Speaker 1>but the series is still even so but we'll see

0:11:49.000 --> 0:11:52.360
<v Speaker 1>game three. I like that Smart Curry matchup. Course, Curry

0:11:52.400 --> 0:11:56.400
<v Speaker 1>in his career shoots against Smart, which is his fourth

0:11:56.600 --> 0:12:01.320
<v Speaker 1>worst against any single opponent, so it hasn't necessarily held

0:12:01.400 --> 0:12:03.400
<v Speaker 1>true in these first two games. But I just you know,

0:12:03.440 --> 0:12:06.280
<v Speaker 1>Marcus Martin makes that boy work physical with him, can

0:12:06.320 --> 0:12:10.240
<v Speaker 1>move his feet, quick hands, So I like watching those

0:12:10.240 --> 0:12:14.240
<v Speaker 1>two grades go to work next up on the radar,

0:12:14.360 --> 0:12:16.800
<v Speaker 1>presented you by Draft Kings, gonna switch it up a

0:12:16.840 --> 0:12:19.760
<v Speaker 1>little bit. Stacked two teams being no stranger to the

0:12:19.840 --> 0:12:24.040
<v Speaker 1>long ball team. Props on odds for three point shots made,

0:12:24.800 --> 0:12:29.760
<v Speaker 1>Boston Celtics are minus one ten to go over fourteen

0:12:29.800 --> 0:12:33.079
<v Speaker 1>and a half. Also minus one ten to be under

0:12:33.600 --> 0:12:35.439
<v Speaker 1>fourteen and a half. So if you're a betting man,

0:12:35.559 --> 0:12:38.240
<v Speaker 1>next game Boston gonna hit over fourteen and a half

0:12:38.360 --> 0:12:41.920
<v Speaker 1>or under fourteen and a half. I say, first home game,

0:12:42.480 --> 0:12:46.440
<v Speaker 1>they're going to hit overo minus one ten. Golden State

0:12:47.080 --> 0:12:50.800
<v Speaker 1>going into game three our minus one twenty to be

0:12:50.880 --> 0:12:53.880
<v Speaker 1>over fourteen and a half and plus a hundred to

0:12:54.000 --> 0:12:56.360
<v Speaker 1>be under fourteen and a half. I got them winning.

0:12:56.400 --> 0:12:58.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying over the winning, it's gotta be over. So

0:12:58.559 --> 0:13:03.600
<v Speaker 1>you've got two over. It's gonna be a shoot man.

0:13:03.960 --> 0:13:07.079
<v Speaker 1>Closing thoughts, big shoutout, always showing a lot of love

0:13:07.120 --> 0:13:10.640

<v Speaker 1>cancel all that noise, man, and just continue to be him.

0:14:27.880 --> 0:14:30.400

0:14:30.440 --> 0:14:32.960

0:14:50.840 --> 0:14:53.440
<v Speaker 1>but we're always missing that one piece. We didn't trust

0:14:53.480 --> 0:14:56.200
<v Speaker 1>him in the playoffs. After a successful eight season run,

0:14:56.320 --> 0:15:00.640
<v Speaker 1>Quinn Snyder decides to step down, and immediately following that,

0:15:00.760 --> 0:15:03.320
<v Speaker 1>you know you're hearing Mitchell is kind of in limbo

0:15:03.400 --> 0:15:06.360
<v Speaker 1>with the organization and what he might possibly want to do.

0:15:06.440 --> 0:15:08.600
<v Speaker 1>He still has four years a hundred and thirty five

0:15:08.680 --> 0:15:12.200
<v Speaker 1>million left with the player option in his final year.

0:15:12.520 --> 0:15:14.720
<v Speaker 1>Two part question what's next for the Jazz? And do

0:15:14.800 --> 0:15:17.920
<v Speaker 1>you see Mitchell in a Jazz uniform next year? What's

0:15:18.080 --> 0:15:20.280
<v Speaker 1>next for the Jazz is a repeat of the last

0:15:20.320 --> 0:15:25.960
<v Speaker 1>eight years. Nothing, What's what's What's What's next? For Donovan?

0:15:26.040 --> 0:15:29.440
<v Speaker 1>Mitchell is going somewhere else. I'm telling you couldn't be

0:15:29.480 --> 0:15:32.960
<v Speaker 1>here even Quin Snyder. He want to go somewhere else.

0:15:33.000 --> 0:15:34.960
<v Speaker 1>And you know what I'm saying, Like he stepped down

0:15:34.960 --> 0:15:38.440
<v Speaker 1>the graveyard. Bro This is a graveyard. Y'all been sitting

0:15:38.440 --> 0:15:41.960
<v Speaker 1>over here dying for years, cheering for the jazz broth

0:15:42.000 --> 0:15:45.240
<v Speaker 1>for years. Quin Snyder and had enough. Who like, Man, look, Roy,

0:15:45.480 --> 0:15:48.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm just gonna go and get somebody, somebody else die

0:15:48.120 --> 0:15:51.160
<v Speaker 1>here because I'm not gonna do it. Still fairly young coach.

0:15:51.200 --> 0:15:53.760
<v Speaker 1>He went in looking like a great coach, energetic coach.

0:15:54.480 --> 0:15:56.680
<v Speaker 1>Come out looking a little older, a little worn down.

0:15:56.720 --> 0:15:58.640
<v Speaker 1>But for him, I think that says a lot. Man.

0:15:58.680 --> 0:16:01.600
<v Speaker 1>He stepped down. It's not like he's stepping down to retire.

0:16:01.640 --> 0:16:03.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure he still wants to work. He's just like,

0:16:04.080 --> 0:16:06.920
<v Speaker 1>I've had enough of this ship. Ye, enough of this ship?

0:16:07.040 --> 0:16:08.360
<v Speaker 1>Three teams off the top of your head. Do you

0:16:08.360 --> 0:16:10.880
<v Speaker 1>think Donovan Mitchell would fit on? He would feel good

0:16:10.880 --> 0:16:14.960
<v Speaker 1>in Atlanta with Trey Young. We'll be nice in Atlanta

0:16:15.000 --> 0:16:17.640
<v Speaker 1>with Trey Young because they can both be free. That

0:16:17.640 --> 0:16:19.680
<v Speaker 1>would it look nice? Of course, New York. I think

0:16:19.680 --> 0:16:22.240
<v Speaker 1>he'll help him. They wouldn't be that good, but he'll

0:16:22.240 --> 0:16:24.400
<v Speaker 1>look good in New York. And I also think for

0:16:24.480 --> 0:16:26.440
<v Speaker 1>me to make the biggest movie he can make the

0:16:26.440 --> 0:16:28.920
<v Speaker 1>big it would be to go to Miami. Some type

0:16:28.920 --> 0:16:33.920
<v Speaker 1>of way get dona er side by side. Interesting, it's

0:16:33.920 --> 0:16:37.000
<v Speaker 1>a lot of buckets. Shout out to our brother. Rashid

0:16:37.080 --> 0:16:40.800
<v Speaker 1>Wallace just signed as Darvin Ham's assistant. Shout out our brother,

0:16:40.880 --> 0:16:43.080
<v Speaker 1>Darvin ham Man head job in l A. It's not

0:16:43.080 --> 0:16:46.080
<v Speaker 1>gonna be easy. Man. That's a hot, hot, hot seat.

0:16:46.160 --> 0:16:48.560
<v Speaker 1>You're signing, You're setting yourself up for a lot of criticism.

0:16:48.640 --> 0:16:50.640
<v Speaker 1>But I think d Ham is, you know, obviously paid.

0:16:50.640 --> 0:16:54.240
<v Speaker 1>His dudes come behind a great lineage of you know, coaches,

0:16:54.320 --> 0:16:56.080
<v Speaker 1>he's he's he's done his time in front of But

0:16:56.120 --> 0:16:59.200
<v Speaker 1>I think continuing to add people like Rashid Wallace, the

0:16:59.280 --> 0:17:02.080
<v Speaker 1>Lakers need that was just that, are gonna hold these

0:17:02.160 --> 0:17:04.320
<v Speaker 1>dudes in that locker room accountable. And I know for

0:17:04.359 --> 0:17:05.920
<v Speaker 1>a fact both of them dudes. You're not talking back

0:17:05.920 --> 0:17:09.960
<v Speaker 1>to Darvin Hammer, Hi Wallace. I know Rashi might Darvin

0:17:10.000 --> 0:17:13.040
<v Speaker 1>Ham as big as motherfucker. So I think accountability is

0:17:13.040 --> 0:17:14.880
<v Speaker 1>gonna be big in that locker room, is gonna be important.

0:17:15.200 --> 0:17:18.159
<v Speaker 1>So I think those are two big, big pickups. A

0:17:18.160 --> 0:17:20.760
<v Speaker 1>lot of people were talking about was worried about Darvin

0:17:20.800 --> 0:17:22.760
<v Speaker 1>Ham as players. We loved it because we know who

0:17:22.760 --> 0:17:25.560
<v Speaker 1>he is. You know what I mean, but bringing Rashi, now,

0:17:26.000 --> 0:17:28.080
<v Speaker 1>oh yeah, that's what they need. That lot, that locker

0:17:28.160 --> 0:17:30.320
<v Speaker 1>room is gonna be totally different, the whole dynamic of

0:17:30.400 --> 0:17:32.520
<v Speaker 1>how they approach games. You know what I'm saying, how

0:17:32.560 --> 0:17:36.199
<v Speaker 1>they still it's gonna be. It's gonna be the culture.

0:17:36.960 --> 0:17:40.160
<v Speaker 1>It's gonna be the actual basketball culture that respects the game.

0:17:40.240 --> 0:17:42.040
<v Speaker 1>But also understand, you know what I'm saying, we gotta

0:17:42.080 --> 0:17:43.919
<v Speaker 1>enjoy this ship too. It's gonna be all that and one.

0:17:43.960 --> 0:17:45.800
<v Speaker 1>And you got two of the perfect guys for that. No,

0:17:45.840 --> 0:17:47.760
<v Speaker 1>I agree, and I think it just to me, it

0:17:47.880 --> 0:17:49.960
<v Speaker 1>just Shane lights more on guys that have been there

0:17:49.960 --> 0:17:52.119
<v Speaker 1>and done that. Not that you have to have that

0:17:52.160 --> 0:17:54.760
<v Speaker 1>to be successful, but I feel to relate to these

0:17:54.760 --> 0:17:56.840
<v Speaker 1>younger players that are hard to really get their respect

0:17:56.920 --> 0:17:59.280
<v Speaker 1>and attention you need. Motherfucker's didn't put that work in,

0:17:59.680 --> 0:18:01.960
<v Speaker 1>and both these guys have put that way. You don't.

0:18:02.160 --> 0:18:03.600
<v Speaker 1>First year here in the finals, I don't want to

0:18:03.640 --> 0:18:06.520
<v Speaker 1>hear nothing. That's prime example. Well that's a wrap, man,
