00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:37,039
Speaker 2: it's fine. They'll be coming in soon. Yeah, okay, great,

30
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:38,839
Speaker 2: we'll be hitting the beach, don't you worry a little

31
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 2: bit later here in the summer and in the playoffs.

32
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 2: And speaking the playoffs, let's get into the games three

33
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 2: on last night. We'll save the Eastern Conference game and

34
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 2: the Jimmy Butler Show for a little bit later. Got

35
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 2: some NBA news too, We got to tweeted the night. But

36
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 2: we start with the last game on Tuesday night. Now,

37
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 2: was the Pelicans rallying past the Suns. Yes, the eighth

38
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 2: seed upset the number one seed one twenty five to

39
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 2: one fourteen. Big part of this game, obviously the injury

40
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 2: to Devin Booker.

41
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 4: But what do you think, Lely, I thought this was

42
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 4: a huge, awesome victory for the Pelicans and for the

43
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 4: playoffs in general. This is what we won, is the

44
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,640
Speaker 4: number eight seed upsetting the number one. But honestly, it

45
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 4: was a really strong performance by New Orleans, nothing fake

46
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 4: or lucky about it. I think they outplayed Phoenix. You

47
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 4: mentioned the Devin Booker injury there. He did leave the

48
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 4: game in the third quarter and did not return with

49
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,919
Speaker 4: some sort of hamstring strain. But the Pelicans were leading

50
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 4: the game when he left, and I think that's important

51
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 4: to note because this wasn't as though the Pelicans just

52
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 4: sort of took advantage of a lucky break. They were

53
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 4: in control when Booker left, and Booker incredibly had a

54
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,639
Speaker 4: thirty one point monster first half, looked like he couldn't

55
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 4: miss anything, and then the Suns kind of weren't able

56
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 4: to fill the gap a little bit after that scoring

57
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 4: the ball. But I also think that the key to

58
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 4: this game, apart from brandon Ingram, the Suns defense, which

59
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 4: you know, during the regular season very very good at

60
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,080
Speaker 4: defending the three point line and very very good at

61
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 4: defending teams in transition. But last night, the Pelicans went

62
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 4: seventeen for thirty from downtown and they only finished statistically

63
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 4: with sixteen fast break points, but they had twenty eight

64
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 4: points off turnovers, and I think that was also a

65
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 4: really key factor. Here for the Pelicans. They created a

66
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 4: lot of those fast breaks, they created a lot of

67
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 4: those turnovers and then were able to go home and

68
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 4: cash in on them. But brandon Ingram really is still

69
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 4: the major story from this one because he was incredible.

70
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 4: He got the thirty seven points on incredible efficiency here,

71
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:25,640
Speaker 4: thirteen for twenty one from the field, eight for eight

72
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 4: from the free throw line, practice of free throws kids,

73
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,920
Speaker 4: three for three from three and then on top of

74
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,399
Speaker 4: all that, I thought his playmaking in this game. Maybe

75
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,119
Speaker 4: playmaking was his best part of the game there last night,

76
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 4: because he had nine assists and four of those led

77
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 4: to three pointers, which is huge because as he drew

78
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 4: a little bit more attention, he was kicking the ball

79
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 4: out and guys were knocking down shots. And it was

80
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 4: c J McCollum who knocked one down early. But that's fine,

81
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 4: you expect it from CJ. But when you get it

82
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 4: from Alvarado, from Herb Jones and Trey Murphy, that is

83
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 4: a massive victory here for the Pelicans, because, as we

84
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 4: all know, in the playoffs, a star player is going

85
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 4: to get a little bit more attention, specially when he's

86
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 4: having a great game like that, and it is so

87
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 4: important for those role players to hit those threes and

88
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 4: make the other team pay. He also ran some nice

89
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 4: stuff there with Jackson Hayes. In transition he got Larry

90
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 4: NaN's with a nice oop there as well. So Brandon

91
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 4: Ingram sort of knew that defensive intensity was coming and

92
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 4: he was like, I'm gonna trust my guys, and they

93
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 4: rewarded that faith there. So this was great. And then

94
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,479
Speaker 4: for the Suns, Chris Paul was okay, didn't shoot all

95
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 4: that well, but the conspiracy theorists are out hot of

96
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 4: this morning, given it was the fourteenth straight playoff game

97
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 4: that Scott Foster has officiated a Chris Paul playoff game,

98
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 4: and Chris Paul team has lost. So that's something for

99
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:37,919
Speaker 4: those out there who believe in that sort of stuff.

100
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:39,719
Speaker 4: I don't think that's true. Last night, I think the

101
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 4: New Orleans Pelican and look, maybe the Suns felt, you know, hey,

102
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 4: we're at home, we got the first win, this team's

103
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 4: the eight seed. We're gonna have enough to close them out.

104
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 4: And Brandon Ingram can't stay that hot, and some of

105
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 4: the shots he hit weren't maybe analytically the best shots,

106
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 4: but he felt it last night. He was confident. He's

107
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 4: dealing with a bit of an ankle injury as well,

108
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:58,919
Speaker 4: and so overall, I just thought New Orleans played a

109
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 4: very complete game. Got tons of contributions from everybody who

110
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,600
Speaker 4: played at the Ethol. Flanchnis was good. I thought c J.

111
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 4: McCollum was really good as well. But Brandon Ingram was

112
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 4: the best player on the court last night in so

113
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,479
Speaker 4: many ways, defensively scoring the ball, shooting the ball, and

114
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 4: then finding his team mates. And that's why the Pelicans

115
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:16,359
Speaker 4: won this game.

116
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it was one of the best Brandon

117
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 2: Ingram games I've ever seen, Like just hands down thirty seven,

118
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 2: eleven and nine, and just like the balance of scoring

119
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 2: over smaller guys, attacking when it wasn't Crowder or Bridges

120
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 2: on him, and then setting up all these guys like

121
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 2: Lee said tasks, I thought that was a special, special game.

122
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 2: And it's cool that this is his first postseason run

123
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:36,599
Speaker 2: here and he's already living up to the hype.

124
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 3: What do you think, Yeah, he's probably the most unheralded

125
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 3: All Star that's in his prime in this league. I

126
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 3: don't know how you judged the unheralded list, but we

127
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,599
Speaker 3: love hot takes. So this guy is unheralded. Nobody really

128
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 3: has followed him closely to know that this dude is,

129
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 3: you know, could be one of the best players when

130
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 3: it comes to fourth quarter scoring. I loved his soft

131
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 3: pink shoes out there, thought those were pretty Their injuries

132
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 3: were happening all over the place, Ingram turned in his

133
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 3: ankles in those pink shoes. Obviously the Devin Booker injury.

134
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 3: Michel Bridges had a lower leg injury. I still think

135
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 3: that the Suns are the favorite in this series, despite

136
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 3: the Pels going home and it's one to one the

137
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 3: Pells are they going to be able to play this

138
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 3: way when now the target's on their back? Now the

139
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,040
Speaker 3: pressure is a little bit off of the Phoenix Suns. Now,

140
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,359
Speaker 3: these young guys who are a little too young to

141
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 3: know what they don't know.

142
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:36,679
Speaker 1: Love that saying.

143
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 3: And now with them having won this game, are they

144
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 3: going to be able to do what they did in Phoenix?

145
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 3: It's a different sort of pressure. But in Game two,

146
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:49,839
Speaker 3: all those young guys, it was so enjoyable to watch

147
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 3: those guys. I mean, in the third quarter, that back

148
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:56,840
Speaker 3: and forth where Jackson Hayes was blocked by Michael bridges,

149
00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 3: and then the other way it goes back and Jackson

150
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,840
Speaker 3: Hayes blocks the not out of mckel bridges. And then

151
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:05,280
Speaker 3: you had Davonte Graham, the tiniest Davonte Graham on the

152
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 3: floor at that time, goes and blocks a three point

153
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 3: shot Trey Murphy three threes off the bench. Herb Jones

154
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 3: obviously saw Larry Nance contributing. This is what the Portland

155
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 3: Trailblazers thought they were getting in Larry Nance. I still

156
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 3: like that trade anyways. And then the Jose Alvarado Chris

157
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 3: Paul light with what a glorious, glorious wave of Jose

158
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 3: Alvarado by Chris Paul. Jose Alvarado tried to do the

159
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 3: Hose Alvarado to Chris Paul in the back court in

160
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 3: the fourth quarter, and Chris Paul gave him a wave.

161
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 1: Get up out of here, man.

162
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 3: I was so beautiful to watch that. So the Pells

163
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 3: getting incredible contributions around Brandon Ingram. The Suns, the team

164
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 3: that has obviously won the most games this season, just

165
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 3: couldn't overcome everybody contributing so well. Eve down the stretch,

166
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 3: I was waiting for Chris Paul to take over and

167
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 3: finish off the Pels, but because the Pells were scoring

168
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 3: so efficiently, it was impossible for them to overcome that.

169
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 3: But you know, it's it's obviously the question the question

170
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 3: mark looms here. It's a ham strain, as they're saying

171
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 3: here in the stream, team, But I do think that

172
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 3: the Sun should still be the favorites even though, yeah,

173
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 3: the Pels look great. Can they keep this up? Hopefully?

174
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 3: You know, it's it's a great story, as lisaid, the

175
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 3: one eight and looking forward to Game three in New Orleans, what.

176
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 2: Do you think, Trey?

177
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 1: I thought that I was that referee from the boxing

178
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 1: meme watching the two heavyweights go back and forth and saying, oh,

179
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:35,559
Speaker 1: this is so good. From about five minutes left to

180
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 1: about two minutes left in the fourth quarter, there were

181
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:40,720
Speaker 1: no misses. It was like, man, this is awesome to

182
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:43,200
Speaker 1: see the Suns have an answer for every single basket

183
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 1: that the Pelicans make. But that's when you kind of realized,

184
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 1: wait a second, here, the Sons have to score every

185
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:51,079
Speaker 1: time down because they're giving up a basket every single

186
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 1: time down. I thought it was very indicative, like Lee

187
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 1: saying the transition opportunities they had that they had the

188
00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 1: wired segment with Monty Williams, and he's talking about three steps.

189
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:04,200
Speaker 1: So then he was asked in his third quarter interview,

190
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 1: what are those three steps? And he's like literally taking

191
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 1: three steps sprinting to get back on defense because the

192
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 1: Sons weren't doing that. And I think Williams said it

193
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 1: was his he thinks it's the worst game the Sons

194
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:18,200
Speaker 1: have played defensively in transition since he's been the coach there.

195
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 1: It was only sixteen to nine in fast breakpoints, but

196
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:23,840
Speaker 1: like lisay and it felt like more and maybe there's

197
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 1: some like sort of like weird transition semi transition that

198
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 1: probably breaks down in there somewhere. Whatever it was, the

199
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:32,200
Speaker 1: Pelicans knew that they could run on the Suns, and

200
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:34,680
Speaker 1: the Suns weren't one hundred percent committed to defense, which

201
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 1: they have been for the entirety of the season. They're

202
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 1: going to be better in Game three, more committed to

203
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:42,319
Speaker 1: the defensive end. But it was really awesome to see

204
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:46,560
Speaker 1: the Pelicans take advantage of an injury to Devin Booker

205
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 1: that certainly threw the Suns off a little bit. They

206
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:51,440
Speaker 1: just had to figure out different ways to score. Booker's

207
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:53,840
Speaker 1: a decent defender in that he brings size to his

208
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 1: position and is going to be in the right place.

209
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:59,200
Speaker 1: So I thought, good stuff on the Pelicans to get

210
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 1: a win in this kind of game, because I mean,

211
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 1: if Brandon Ingram has his career best game and the

212
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 1: Pelicans don't win this, we're talking about a potential sweep now,

213
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 1: or they're going back to Game three in New Orleans,

214
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 1: it's going to be lowed there. Certainly the Suns are

215
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:12,959
Speaker 1: going to be better, but at least you have a

216
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 1: little bit more confidence if you're New Orleans and if

217
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:17,199
Speaker 1: you're looking at the long term future of the team,

218
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:19,319
Speaker 1: this is awesome to get your first playoff win.

219
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 2: One hundred percent. Yeah, and just to get all these

220
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 2: young guys the experience alone, whether they win one to

221
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 2: two or you know, somehow pull this off. The Booker injury,

222
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:29,960
Speaker 2: you know, he's battled hamstring issues before Lee and I

223
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 2: know we're waiting to find out how severe it is,

224
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:34,080
Speaker 2: Like maybe he's good to go in Game three for

225
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 2: all we know. But in December of this season he

226
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 2: missed like I think it was seven games there with

227
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 2: the left hamstring injury happened on a similar play if

228
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 2: I remember too. Just like you know, sort of this

229
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 2: like didn't get hit or anything, just landed awkwardly when

230
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 2: he was doing a little chase down there block attempt.

231
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 2: And then he also got injured in last year's finals,

232
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 2: which was a hamstring injury in Game three. He played

233
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:57,680
Speaker 2: through that, and I guess he kept it secret at

234
00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:00,560
Speaker 2: the time. I saw Brian Windhorse reporting, So he's had that,

235
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 2: and he had one in twenty twenty one the twenty

236
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 2: twenty twenty one season as well, So this is like

237
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 2: a lingering issue. But again, do you agree with tass

238
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 2: sort of let's say no Booker. I don't know, let's

239
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:13,440
Speaker 2: just hypothetically no Booker for a Game three. You still

240
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 2: like the Sun's chances to be in control of this

241
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 2: as a number one seed, or can the Pelicans pull

242
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 2: this off if there's no debt?

243
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 4: No, I mean, I've still got the Suns coming out

244
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 4: of this series. Maybe he goes six, maybe it goes

245
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:26,199
Speaker 4: seven games, because the Pelicans have got good, solid veterans

246
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 4: on that team. But the Suns have been the best

247
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:30,720
Speaker 4: home team the best road team this season. They've overcome

248
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 4: dealing with Chris Paul missed what six weeks there towards

249
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 4: the end of the season, so I think they're sort

250
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 4: of used to playing shorthanded. And you know, whoever comes

251
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 4: into that starting lineup to replace Booker, assuming he certainly

252
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 4: misses Game three here, they have the depth, they've got

253
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:45,960
Speaker 4: the great, you know, the very good defensive team, they

254
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,319
Speaker 4: shoot the three ball well, so they've got enough still

255
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 4: to beat the Pelicans. But certainly it makes their job harder.

256
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:53,080
Speaker 4: You know, it certainly does. And you know, I mean,

257
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 4: Booker is going to finish in that top five of

258
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 4: the MVP voting this season. And you saw in that

259
00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:01,080
Speaker 4: first quarter, well first half, I should say, every single

260
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 4: thing he threw up just was going in. I mean,

261
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 4: it was incredible. He was on track for fifty or

262
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 4: sixty last night if he plays the whole game. But

263
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 4: I think if you're the Suns, obviously you proceed with

264
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 4: extreme caution right now. And you know, unless he's one

265
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 4: hundred percent, you just don't bother playing him in game three.

266
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 4: You've got to give him whatever chance you have to

267
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,080
Speaker 4: recover here because to me and we don't know, of course,

268
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 4: there's nothing come out for him yet. But you can

269
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 4: sort of tell almost from a player's facial expressions and

270
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 4: their demeanor how they feel about the injury, and he

271
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 4: almost knew straight away, oh exactly, and so he you know,

272
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 4: he knows what it is, but no one knows the

273
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 4: severity right now. But it will suck if he does.

274
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:41,960
Speaker 4: You know, let's say he's out for you know, the

275
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 4: rest of this series or whatever. It will just suck

276
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:46,720
Speaker 4: because that's the last thing we want in any playoff series.

277
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:49,200
Speaker 4: And again, you don't want to take any of the

278
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 4: shine off this victory for the Pelicans. They were leading

279
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 4: when he was out there. You know, they won this game,

280
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 4: you know, completely fairly. It wasn't as though it was

281
00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 4: only because Booker went out. They didn't win this game.

282
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 4: They closed down the stretch, they went punch for punch,

283
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 4: as Trey was alluding to their boxing terms wise, with

284
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 4: the best home team and the best team in the

285
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 4: league this season. So you know, that was a fair win.

286
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 4: And I just hope Booker isn't, you know, at first

287
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 4: an extended period here.

288
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, the other thing that sucked. I saw Ziggy, who's

289
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 2: always in the stream team here, I saw on tweet

290
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:21,719
Speaker 2: this morning, Devin Booker was a hamstring tweak away from

291
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 2: putting up possibly let's say fifty and having an all

292
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:29,199
Speaker 2: time meme moment with the baby Dap. Absolutely true. I mean,

293
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:32,400
Speaker 2: if Booker finishes with forty to fifty and then they

294
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:36,440
Speaker 2: win the game, the baby Dap lives forever. I mean, instead,

295
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:39,560
Speaker 2: now the baby's well, unfortunately, the baby's cursed now is

296
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 2: what people are sayings. Maybe went from a hero to

297
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 2: being cursed in the blink of an eye with one hamstring. Tweak,

298
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:46,559
Speaker 2: but what a moment, Tray.

299
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 1: This was. This was the greatest. I'm old enough and

300
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 1: enough of a sicko to remember Will Barton dapping up

301
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:56,720
Speaker 1: a baby back when we were doing the starters doesn't

302
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 1: hold a candle to this baby Dap. Will Barton's coming

303
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:01,640
Speaker 1: off the court, just going to the going to the

304
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 1: tunnel at halftime, shout out to that baby. This was

305
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:08,199
Speaker 1: like an in game in playoff baby Dap. You can

306
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 1: see all of the fans sitting around him go crazy

307
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:13,680
Speaker 1: when this happened. But uh, I don't know. I guess

308
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 1: this baby is like a a Pat Beverley sort of baby.

309
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 2: I love, like, uh.

310
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, this is gonna be like the Nirvana baby, you know,

311
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 4: I mean twenty five's Tom We're gonna say, you know, hey,

312
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 4: are your life chat? The baby's gonna want royalties as

313
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 4: well for all the footag juice of it.

314
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 2: Oh baby on the.

315
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 1: I think that baby was gonna be a Harley Jarvis,

316
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 1: but it kind of was. Yeah, yeah Jarvis. Uh.

317
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 2: My only other note from this game, uh with you

318
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 2: guys already touched about how great the defense was. They

319
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 2: had like like and that the Sons couldn't slow them.

320
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 2: That was the most shocking part. In the fourth quarter.

321
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 2: New Orleans has thirty five points on twenty five possessions

322
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:02,240
Speaker 2: there in the fourth But Willie Green is so locked

323
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 2: in to his eight man rotation, and then you know,

324
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 2: a couple of minutes spot minutes for a couple other guys,

325
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 2: Like there's two hundred and forty minutes to go around

326
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 2: in a basketball game, and Willie is locked in. Here,

327
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 2: it's forty minutes basically for Ingram McCollum and Herb Jones. Okay,

328
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 2: it's about twenty five for your big guy Valanchunis. It's

329
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 2: twenty minutes each for Jackson Hayes and Larry Nance, who

330
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 2: was great in this one. Again, it's twenty minutes to

331
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 2: the sharp shooting rookie Trey MURPHYLD. You know, little floor

332
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 2: spacer there twenty minutes to the defensive pest in Alvarado,

333
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 2: and that leaves, if my math is correct, like fifteen

334
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 2: minutes for Devonte Graham here and Najie Marshall here, and

335
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 2: it's like those eight, and then Davonte Graham and Marshall

336
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 2: as you're nine to ten, they sort of getting the

337
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 2: spot minutes, and that's those eight. Mainly, they're all contributing.

338
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:52,280
Speaker 2: They're all playing the role absolutely perfect. And Trey said it,

339
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 2: whether they go on to pull off the crazy one

340
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 2: eight upset, whether they just lose the next games from

341
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 2: here on, it it doesn't really matter because this is

342
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 2: just such great experience for these young guys. All these

343
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 2: guys and your guy like Brandon Ingram who hasn't even

344
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 2: been there, and then the idea of adding Zion. I mean,

345
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 2: it's just like this. I just can't believe this team

346
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 2: started one to twelve, make the deadline deals, and then

347
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 2: it's like things, the future looks immediately bright. Now, I

348
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 2: think it's fair to say, do you agree with that?

349
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 3: To the future looks fantastic skeets, Yeah, you gotta be yeah,

350
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:24,280
Speaker 3: pumped for them. I would say the immediate future, I

351
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 3: gotta be a little scared for Game three. You know,

352
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 3: Chris Paul and the Sons are in that locker room,

353
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 3: and Willie Green's mentor, Monty Williams, Son's head coaches got

354
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 3: them locked in to bounce back because just so many plays,

355
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 3: including the Devin Booker injury. That play was Jackson Hayes

356
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 3: sprinting out and beating the Sun's down court. That ain't

357
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 3: the best team in the league last night, And that's

358
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:50,920
Speaker 3: why sometimes you can steal a game two on another

359
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 3: team's home floor because the Game one win allows the

360
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 3: team to just take any pressure off the pedal, and

361
00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 3: that kind of stuff happens. So that's the ugly part

362
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 3: for me, is that if this Devin Booker injury lasts

363
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:07,920
Speaker 3: a while here for the Suns, you know, beyond Round

364
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 3: one into round two or something, it's it's that possession

365
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:15,119
Speaker 3: that they didn't get back, and that that's just going

366
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:18,360
Speaker 3: to be, you know, a little bit of tarnish on

367
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:21,439
Speaker 3: this Sun's team that you know played so well, and

368
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 3: possession that they didn't get back. Devin Booker always a

369
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 3: scary site where a guy's grabbing his hammy and I

370
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:31,240
Speaker 3: don't know if it helps that it's the different hammy

371
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 3: than what it was earlier in the season. It's the

372
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 3: right handy this time. But they're going to take their time,

373
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 3: and I think they should because the Suns have enough

374
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:43,720
Speaker 3: to battle the Pels the rest of the way. So

375
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 3: this obviously is a great, great, great experience for this

376
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:50,960
Speaker 3: Pells team that you know, came into the season thinking

377
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:52,920
Speaker 3: that they were going to make the playoffs, even though

378
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 3: they started one to twelve. They acted at the trade deadline,

379
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 3: They're like, they were going to make the playoffs, trading

380
00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 3: for a guy like c J. McCollum, and that trade

381
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 3: looks fantastic. And yeah, obviously all those guys in their

382
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:10,200
Speaker 3: Rooks and Trey Murphy and Herb Jones, with some of

383
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:15,880
Speaker 3: their pests like Alvarado and others. Yeah, they they were

384
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:18,400
Speaker 3: perfect last night, absolutely perfect to steal this game.

385
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:20,719
Speaker 2: And Lee, you sort of said it. The best thing

386
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:22,600
Speaker 2: about all of this, the Pelicans winning last night, is

387
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:25,439
Speaker 2: it automatically means games three and four in New Orleans

388
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:27,919
Speaker 2: are like, I mean, we're going to watch them anyway,

389
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 2: but they must watch these are huge games. It could

390
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:32,159
Speaker 2: very easily be you know, a two to two split

391
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:34,920
Speaker 2: is in play here heading back in theory for game

392
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 2: five to Phoenix, which would be amazing. But you know,

393
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:39,160
Speaker 2: who knows, Maybe maybe the Suns take both of them,

394
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:41,200
Speaker 2: but it means both of them are big, big games.

395
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 2: Is not going to be a sweep here, which a

396
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:45,400
Speaker 2: lot of people were predicting, and that is not the case.

397
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 2: Any other thoughts, guys on on the Pels victory over

398
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 2: the Suns last night. No, let's move on. Then, the

399
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:56,639
Speaker 2: Grizzlies crushed the Timberwolves one twenty four to ninety six

400
00:18:56,760 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 2: to tie their series at one game a piece. This

401
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:05,240
Speaker 2: one took a while there. Tray was fifty first quarter.

402
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:11,680
Speaker 1: I was insane. Yeah, somebody called Morris Barter Mama Justice.

403
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:15,200
Speaker 4: We got ourselves a series.

404
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:20,160
Speaker 1: Oh you're not kidding those skeets. This one started out ugly, little,

405
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:23,200
Speaker 1: too much GrITT and grind. I would say, twenty fouls,

406
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:26,879
Speaker 1: thirty three free throws in the first quarter. We had

407
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 1: a lot of reviews. We had a flagrant foul, we

408
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:34,440
Speaker 1: had a technical foul, we saw a lot of zach zarba,

409
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 1: and honestly, it had some massive effects on how this

410
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:39,159
Speaker 1: game played out. For one, Karl Anthony Towns picked up

411
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 1: two quick fouls in the first quarter of this one,

412
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 1: got a third early in the second quarter as well.

413
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:47,120
Speaker 1: He battled foul trouble all night long, and that's one

414
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 1: of the Timberwolves Achilles heels, no doubt. Maybe more important, though,

415
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 1: is that Steven Adams also got two fouls in the

416
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 1: first three minutes, and that's when the adjustments came in, baby,

417
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:59,159
Speaker 1: because Taylor Jenkins went to Brandon Clark and that was

418
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 1: the last we saw Steven Adams maybe for the rest

419
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 1: of this series. Jenkins eventually went with Xavier Tillman. He

420
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 1: also had Kyle Anderson taking some time on Karl Anthony

421
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 1: Towns at some point. The athleticism upgrade definitely paid off,

422
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:17,400
Speaker 1: because in Game one, all of the Memphis bigs were bad,

423
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 1: and all of them were good in Game two. Sixteen points,

424
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 1: seven rebounds, five offensive and four threes for Jaron Jackson Junior,

425
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:28,359
Speaker 1: thirteen and three rebounds with two steals for Brandon Clark,

426
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:31,679
Speaker 1: and then seventeen points seven boards, four of them offensive

427
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:34,159
Speaker 1: for Tillman, and then Kyle Anderson was kind of the

428
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 1: Nick Batoom in this game as well. That was great stuff.

429
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:40,320
Speaker 1: The Grizzlies crushed the glass one second chance points nineteen

430
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:42,879
Speaker 1: to eight and dominated the paint the way we've seen

431
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:45,240
Speaker 1: in the past, but usually they're playing Steven Adams there.

432
00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 1: So they also won the turnover battle, forced nineteen turnovers

433
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 1: which turned into twenty eight points just nine turnovers forced

434
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:53,679
Speaker 1: fifteen points for the Timberwolves, who we know like to

435
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:57,680
Speaker 1: score off of turnovers as well. Grizzlies also shot well,

436
00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 1: tied from behind the arc and at the free throw line,

437
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,639
Speaker 1: and their depth was much better. In Game one, Malik

438
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:06,160
Speaker 1: Beasley and McDaniels really killed the Grizzlies. In Game two,

439
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:08,960
Speaker 1: the Grizzlies bench showed up sixty to forty three double

440
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:11,760
Speaker 1: digits from four players, and of course John Morant was

441
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:13,600
Speaker 1: the best guard on the court last night twenty three

442
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:16,000
Speaker 1: nine to ten, hit a couple of threes. Maybe could

443
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 1: have gone for a triple double if they played the

444
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:21,960
Speaker 1: entire of the fourth quarter. But feels like every concern

445
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:24,640
Speaker 1: you had about the Grizzlies after Game one flipped their

446
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 1: way in Game two. It ended up being the biggest

447
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 1: margin of victory in franchise history for Memphis. So now

448
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 1: we're one one going to Minnesota. This feels like a

449
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 1: seven gamer at this point, But maybe maybe the Steven

450
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:41,639
Speaker 1: Adams chains really is gonna turn the tide toward the

451
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:44,640
Speaker 1: Grizzlies favor because doesn't feel like he's got a place

452
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:47,359
Speaker 1: in this series. And the Grizzlies looked really good, playing

453
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:49,200
Speaker 1: faster with all their athletes out there.

454
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:51,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, what do you think, Tass? Do you agree with

455
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:53,840
Speaker 2: what Trey saying? Maybe we're not gonna see too much

456
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:55,960
Speaker 2: Adams here for the rest of this That's something we

457
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:58,880
Speaker 2: talked about after Game one too. We saw the blueprint

458
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:01,399
Speaker 2: from Tyler and the Clippers. Hey, go a little smaller,

459
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:03,639
Speaker 2: go a little more active to get in on Towns,

460
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:05,720
Speaker 2: and maybe it's just not a series for Steven Adams.

461
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 3: Yeah. And on the other side, Chris Finch played Jared

462
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 3: Vanderbilt like eight minutes because they were just playing off him.

463
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:17,080
Speaker 3: So it's an interesting narrow tit for tat there. The

464
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 3: Wolves tried to get more shooting out there, but the

465
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:22,119
Speaker 3: Wolves were just not taking great shots in this game,

466
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 3: and obviously the foul trouble for Karl Anthony Towns and

467
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 3: they weren't locked in defensively yet total flip from Game one.

468
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:31,960
Speaker 3: Seems like they got their one in Memphis and they're

469
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 3: ready to go back. So yeah, it feels like we're

470
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:36,199
Speaker 3: gonna have a real, real long series, just like we

471
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:39,399
Speaker 3: had a real, real long first quarter in this game.

472
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:43,480
Speaker 3: I thought, yeah, I thought Patrick, So, Patrick Beverly came

473
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:47,679
Speaker 3: in on a Morant was driving hit by Towns. Patrick

474
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 3: Beverley comes in and he grabs the ball, sort of

475
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:53,879
Speaker 3: swats at the ball, and it ended up being a

476
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 3: tech foul after a review, and the Memphis Grizzly crowd

477
00:22:57,680 --> 00:22:59,800
Speaker 3: was just sort of taken out of it, and I thought, man,

478
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:03,560
Speaker 3: it's a smart little play by Patrick Beverly, even if

479
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:05,719
Speaker 3: it's a tech foul and it's a free throw, and

480
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 3: we got a one to one game here. Everything was

481
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:11,159
Speaker 3: being reviewed after it because the rest were trying to

482
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 3: get everything under control, and Memphis amazing crowd was a

483
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:20,720
Speaker 3: little bit quiet for a while until their team absolutely

484
00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:23,920
Speaker 3: was relentless and was ready to play like they did.

485
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 3: I thought John Moran's line wasn't even indicative of how

486
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:28,840
Speaker 3: great he was in this game. He could have been

487
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:31,560
Speaker 3: even better. He could have had way more assists. But

488
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:35,400
Speaker 3: they were just back on their stuff. They're back on

489
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:39,560
Speaker 3: second chance points, fast break points, offensive rebounds. Getting back

490
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 3: to Memphis Grizzlies basketball. So that looked like the team

491
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 3: we know and love. Well. Yeah, the Wolves a little

492
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:49,119
Speaker 3: bit disappointing. I guess in Anthony Edwards just not having

493
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 3: anywhere close to his first game of the series or

494
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:56,159
Speaker 3: his play in tournament. Game shots weren't great and just

495
00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:58,679
Speaker 3: kind of out of it. It felt like until the

496
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:01,120
Speaker 3: fourth quarter when he starts to get back into it.

497
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:04,160
Speaker 2: He wasn't all that great. But I would have him

498
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 2: below Towns, who got himself out of this with foul

499
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:10,320
Speaker 2: trouble again, had a shit game, and D'Angelo Russell has

500
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:12,960
Speaker 2: forgotten the playoffs have started. This guy's a mister playing game,

501
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:15,600
Speaker 2: but playoffs not so much. And then yeah, maybe aunt

502
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 2: there next. But what'd you think Lee Grizzlies looking like

503
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:18,960
Speaker 2: the regular season Grizzlies.

504
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:21,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I was more just disappointed with Minnesota's follow

505
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:24,200
Speaker 4: up effort to that impressive game one. They seem just

506
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:26,560
Speaker 4: out of sort from the start. The Fowls obviously sort

507
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:29,120
Speaker 4: of disrupted any flow they got and then Karl Anthony Towns,

508
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:31,200
Speaker 4: I mean, he just can't get himself in that sort

509
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:33,440
Speaker 4: of position again where he's in faultraw they need him.

510
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:35,880
Speaker 4: They got blown out in this one, and the good

511
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:38,520
Speaker 4: news is that Jar Moran obviously listens to our show

512
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:41,240
Speaker 4: because he said after Game one, a few people jumping

513
00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:43,879
Speaker 4: off as saying they're going on the Minnesota tim Wolves. Now,

514
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 4: I think they can win the series. Stay there, we

515
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:48,359
Speaker 4: don't want your back, So I know, I sort of

516
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 4: hinted that maybe the Wolves can steal this. So it's

517
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:53,919
Speaker 4: good to know that Jar's listening. But overall, yeah, no,

518
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,439
Speaker 4: it was a really really impressive stuff here from the

519
00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:59,920
Speaker 4: Grizzlies because they are for the most part, an inexperienced team.

520
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:01,919
Speaker 4: Didn't handle Game one at home, sort of like the

521
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:05,439
Speaker 4: Raptors there, but they bounced back and they got a

522
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:07,840
Speaker 4: really good win. So I still don't know quite where

523
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 4: this series is going. I think the Wolves are going

524
00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:13,440
Speaker 4: to be much better. You know, Patrick Beverly was one

525
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:15,560
Speaker 4: of his worst games there last night. Didn't impact it

526
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:19,280
Speaker 4: at a Wolf, but I still feel that, you know,

527
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:23,439
Speaker 4: the Wolves have forced the Grizzlies into making that Steven

528
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:26,360
Speaker 4: Adams adjustment. And now does Jenkins go back to him

529
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 4: just at the start and say, all right, you can

530
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 4: start the game, but you get a quick hook again,

531
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:31,880
Speaker 4: or does he throw someone else into that lineup who

532
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:33,920
Speaker 4: is a little bit more athletic a little bit quicker,

533
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:36,399
Speaker 4: and he can get into Towns's face and cause some trouble.

534
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 4: But you know, that's still a good sign for Minnesota

535
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:41,679
Speaker 4: that you've made the other team say this is what

536
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:43,480
Speaker 4: worked for us during the regular season, but we're not

537
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 4: probably going with it in the playoffs. And now Towns

538
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:49,800
Speaker 4: and Finchy and those guys are going to have to say, Okay,

539
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:52,360
Speaker 4: if someone's a bit smaller, you can shoot over that guy,

540
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:55,240
Speaker 4: you know, because Tilman's what six' eighty's a big guy

541
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:57,960
Speaker 4: in terms of his a barrillie, he sure is, but

542
00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:00,359
Speaker 4: he's you know, Towns is a clear seven foot so

543
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:02,679
Speaker 4: he's got that hide advantage if he can knock down

544
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:04,600
Speaker 4: some shots and put some pressure back on them. But

545
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:06,440
Speaker 4: he's got to sigh on the court. That's the problem

546
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:08,159
Speaker 4: any and he's gotta stay out of faul trouble.

547
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:12,400
Speaker 2: I loved Anthony Edwards comments after this one. This guy

548
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:14,800
Speaker 2: does not whack the confidence. Quote. We stole one on

549
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:17,320
Speaker 2: their home court. We're one one. I'm not worried. I

550
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:20,119
Speaker 2: hope my teammates aren't worried. We're going back to Minnesota.

551
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:21,800
Speaker 2: They got to come to our house and play us

552
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:24,479
Speaker 2: twice at the crib. Our crowd is I put our

553
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:26,360
Speaker 2: crowd up there with the best of them. It's their

554
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:28,880
Speaker 2: problem to deal with. So I think you're right there.

555
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:31,679
Speaker 2: Tasked that idea of like we got our split, we

556
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:34,399
Speaker 2: did our work here in Memphis, and we took our

557
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:36,080
Speaker 2: foot off the gas a little bit. The Grizzlies got

558
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 2: back to being the Grizzlies of the regular season.

559
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:37,960
Speaker 3: Two.

560
00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 2: Just that balanced effort led by John Morant, the nice

561
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:43,760
Speaker 2: move from Jenkins. Now, I think Jenkins was helped out

562
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:46,000
Speaker 2: a little bit by Adams getting two quick fouls and

563
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:48,320
Speaker 2: then pulled him out and then, oh, this is working

564
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:51,000
Speaker 2: a lot better. We'll see if Adams, you know, does

565
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 2: he start Game three, something similar happens. Just more minutes

566
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:56,920
Speaker 2: for Clark Tillman, you know, Jared Jackson at the five, maybe,

567
00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:59,920
Speaker 2: but just Tias Jones coming in, hitting half of hish

568
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:02,399
Speaker 2: and helping Zil Williams, the rook you know, he's scored

569
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:05,480
Speaker 2: in limited minutes. Just it was just that everybody contributing,

570
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:08,879
Speaker 2: with Jackson hitting threes, Bane hitting threes. That's that's the

571
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:11,359
Speaker 2: Memphis we saw for good chunks of the regular season.

572
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:14,080
Speaker 2: So it's nice to see them appear here in the playoffs,

573
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:15,960
Speaker 2: and that run in the third quarter just blew the

574
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:17,800
Speaker 2: game open and then it was over. That game. That

575
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:20,679
Speaker 2: game was a wrap as they went on and on

576
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:23,000
Speaker 2: and on. They were up what ninety six seventy seven

577
00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:26,280
Speaker 2: heading into the fourth and obviously the final score Minnesota

578
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:29,159
Speaker 2: didn't get much closer, but should be a fun series

579
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:31,040
Speaker 2: one's Game three. Anybody knows the schedule on the top

580
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:31,440
Speaker 2: of their head.

581
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:31,959
Speaker 1: Ex.

582
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:37,919
Speaker 4: Game three is in Minnesota Friday twenty first, tomorrow tomorrow.

583
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:43,520
Speaker 2: Okay, Thursday night, all right? Any other thoughts on Wolves Grizzly.

584
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:45,639
Speaker 4: Are we going to get the two dads in a

585
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:48,200
Speaker 4: sort of like like Danny LaRue and Nate Duncan as

586
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:49,680
Speaker 4: an alternative broadcast?

587
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:51,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, I said that like a man or something.

588
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:55,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, team around and we should And Kyle Anthony seeing

589
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:57,000
Speaker 4: you there, yeah, because they were they were just going

590
00:27:57,040 --> 00:27:58,719
Speaker 4: to each other. It was a tough spot for Chris

591
00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:00,960
Speaker 4: Haynes there because they only had the lock microphone. Yeah,

592
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:03,320
Speaker 4: and he was kind of like, all right, you know,

593
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:05,440
Speaker 4: they're sort of talking over each other a little bit there.

594
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:08,440
Speaker 4: But I think everyone is hoping we see a lot

595
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:10,560
Speaker 4: more of the dads because it seems to be fun.

596
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:12,560
Speaker 4: They seem to be enjoying each other's company, which is good.

597
00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:15,200
Speaker 4: It's not nasty or anything like that. They're just, you know,

598
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:16,360
Speaker 4: having a good time with each other.

599
00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:19,160
Speaker 3: Funny, they were hilarious, they were laughing at their jokes,

600
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:21,600
Speaker 3: taking it very lately. I like the fact that when

601
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:24,760
Speaker 3: you think of an alternate broadcast lead, you don't think

602
00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:28,320
Speaker 3: of Manning cast the most popular alternate broadcasts. You think

603
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:32,200
Speaker 3: of Nate Duncan, Marcus Smart isn't a good defensive player,

604
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 3: and Danny LaRue drinking milk to get me that's great.

605
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:37,760
Speaker 2: Well they do pass up.

606
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:40,960
Speaker 4: Call me an NBA home if you want there, Tassy,

607
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 4: because you know, I know obviously of the Manning cast,

608
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:46,840
Speaker 4: I haven't watched it at Danny and Nat to feel like,

609
00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:48,680
Speaker 4: you know, they feel like just an extension of what

610
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:51,160
Speaker 4: we do. You know, there are guys. I've played bass

611
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:53,360
Speaker 4: with those guys. I know those guys. It feels a

612
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 4: little bit more homey when you've got Nate and Danny

613
00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:57,000
Speaker 4: there going back and forth.

614
00:28:57,440 --> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 2: I gotta see too. I saw this going around Twitter

615
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:03,560
Speaker 2: when he has the sunglasses on Dan's dad Team Moran

616
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:08,040
Speaker 2: looks like, usher, oh yeah, this guy your dad is usher.

617
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:09,800
Speaker 2: That's pretty cool. Yeah, it just as it looks like

618
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:11,640
Speaker 2: an older version of it, I think, especially when the

619
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 2: glasses are on. But he's got the VI and he's

620
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:16,560
Speaker 2: simply a cool guy too. That was a very funny,

621
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:19,040
Speaker 2: uh interview. I'm glad that clip was being shared anywhere.

622
00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:20,800
Speaker 2: Trey Gunny thoughts. Final thoughts on.

623
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:25,400
Speaker 1: Wolves grizz DiAngelo Russell needs to play basketball. He's been

624
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:28,360
Speaker 1: honestly brutal in this series. And I think he averaged

625
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:30,600
Speaker 1: like thirty one a game against the Grizzlies in the

626
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:34,000
Speaker 1: regular shoot season, shot fifty five percent, and he has

627
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:37,720
Speaker 1: not what five for twenty two through two games here. Uh,

628
00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:40,840
Speaker 1: wasn't a problem in game one, but with Town's really

629
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:42,880
Speaker 1: struggling in game two, would have been nice to see

630
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:45,680
Speaker 1: Russell doing something. So he was great in the play

631
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:48,640
Speaker 1: in game. He really saved the season there against the Clippers.

632
00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:50,840
Speaker 1: Maybe he'll be better back in the target center.

633
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:53,000
Speaker 4: One of the shots he hit too last night was

634
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:56,760
Speaker 4: just oh yeah, yeah, so that doesn't even count. That

635
00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:58,640
Speaker 4: doesn't count as a night shot, Like that's just the

636
00:29:58,720 --> 00:29:59,240
Speaker 4: lucky one.

637
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:01,720
Speaker 2: All right, Well, we'll take our first break. When we

638
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:04,600
Speaker 2: come back, we'll get into some NBA News. We've got

639
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:06,880
Speaker 2: tweeted the night still and I'm excited to see how

640
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:10,000
Speaker 2: many times we say Jimmy in the next block. Anytime

641
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:12,080
Speaker 2: Jimmy Butler does something, we say Jimmy a lot. So

642
00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:15,400
Speaker 2: let's count it up when we come back. All right,

Speaker 2: Holy what is that?

647
00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:29,720
Speaker 1: Sorry? I'm watching Isle and I Versus eat popcorn. Sorry, sorry,

648
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:32,440
Speaker 1: sorry watching Allen Iverson eat popcorn on the sideline.

649
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:37,440
Speaker 2: Excellent. Jimmy Butler scored forty five. Big game, James big

650
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:40,560
Speaker 2: face Butler. What do you want to call him? Jimmy

651
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:44,400
Speaker 2: as the Heat defeat the Hawks one for the two

652
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:45,600
Speaker 2: zero lead? Tasty? What do you say?

653
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:47,040
Speaker 1: Oh, let's call him Michael Jordan.

654
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 3: Jordan wore forty five, didn't he James Butler? Jimmy was fantastic.

655
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:57,959
Speaker 3: Obviously he was getting into the lane. You know what

656
00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:00,480
Speaker 3: you usually think of Jimmy Butler. You think sort of

657
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:03,200
Speaker 3: as a Hey, let's give this guy the ball on

658
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:05,600
Speaker 3: the wing. He'll find his way into the mid range

659
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:09,760
Speaker 3: and he'll score but with the Hawks losing Clint Capella

660
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:12,640
Speaker 3: and starting John Collins over and yakakong Wu. I think

661
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:15,680
Speaker 3: Jimmy Butler knew I can get to the rim whenever

662
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:19,440
Speaker 3: I want. But they weren't just stale catches to get

663
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:21,080
Speaker 3: him to the rim. They got him on the move.

664
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:24,320
Speaker 3: Jimmy was running, which you don't see him do that often,

665
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:27,080
Speaker 3: and scoring in transition. And without Clint Cappella, this is

666
00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:29,120
Speaker 3: not a good recipe for the Hawks. Even though they

667
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:31,440
Speaker 3: were up for this game, it looked like a good

668
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:34,920
Speaker 3: bounce back game for the Hawks. Jimmy could get to

669
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 3: the rim with John Collins there whenever he wanted. In fact,

670
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:40,120
Speaker 3: at one point two minutes left late in the game,

671
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:42,560
Speaker 3: you even had Iron Eagle on the call as Jimmy

672
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:43,960
Speaker 3: drove in and score.

673
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 1: Saying, ola defense.

674
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:49,640
Speaker 3: You want to hear that in a playoff game if

675
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:52,920
Speaker 3: you're the Atlanta Hawks, just off the cuff and ol

676
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:55,880
Speaker 3: a defense from the broadcast or that is rare. And

677
00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:59,080
Speaker 3: I'm sure all the vets, all the oldies from the

678
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:03,640
Speaker 3: eighties and nineties thinking, come on, that would never happened

679
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:06,080
Speaker 3: in our day, and it was unfortunate the Hawks. Yeah,

680
00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:09,360
Speaker 3: going a little smaller but I thought Nate McMillan making

681
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:12,840
Speaker 3: that move was a really really smart move to try

682
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:15,840
Speaker 3: and get things going offensively for the Hawks, and it

683
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 3: was working to a degree. John Collins was helping out, obviously,

684
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 3: but Jimmy literally was just too much. You can point

685
00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:27,320
Speaker 3: to a lot of things in this game, the Hawks

686
00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 3: turning it over a ton, but really this was the

687
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 3: Jimmy Butler show. The fact that three other starters on

688
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:35,000
Speaker 3: the Heat had single digits and the other one just

689
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:38,640
Speaker 3: had fourteen points. He had a really bad Kyle Lowry game.

690
00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:43,240
Speaker 3: Other than him playing with the DeAndre Hunter's legs. That

691
00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:45,160
Speaker 3: was a lot of fun. First one of the car

692
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:47,880
Speaker 3: gets the passenger seat, That's what that looked like. But

693
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:50,720
Speaker 3: Jimmy Butler was doing it all. He hit four threes

694
00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:53,080
Speaker 3: as well. There's that stat from Kevin Pelton going around

695
00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:56,160
Speaker 3: that since he's joined the Heat, he's twenty four percent

696
00:32:56,840 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 3: from three in the regular season and thirty six percent

697
00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:01,200
Speaker 3: in the play He picks it up in the playoffs,

698
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:04,480
Speaker 3: and really that's just from the bubble. That's really where

699
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:06,720
Speaker 3: that stat comes from, because he had a bad postseason

700
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:09,720
Speaker 3: last year and you couldn't help but think of Jimmy Butler,

701
00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:14,040
Speaker 3: Bubble Butler. When watching him put forty five in last night,

702
00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:16,840
Speaker 3: it really was him and the rest of the heat.

703
00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:20,640
Speaker 3: So the Hawks turned it over. Yeah, but didn't matter,

704
00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:23,680
Speaker 3: really really didn't matter what Jimmy was doing last night.

705
00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:25,840
Speaker 3: He was just way way too good.

706
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:29,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, playoff career high forty five, and he was a

707
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:32,200
Speaker 2: big part of like closing the game lely with that

708
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:34,160
Speaker 2: seven zero run to decide the Hawks were in this.

709
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:35,880
Speaker 2: It was a three point game. I mean, they played

710
00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:38,440
Speaker 2: better than Game one. They really couldn't have played much worse.

711
00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:40,320
Speaker 2: So they were sloppy, and I'm sure we'll get into that,

712
00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:45,000
Speaker 2: but yeah, Jimmy just doing it everywhere, transition, dunking, hitting

713
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:46,400
Speaker 2: the three is like tasted. And then he got to

714
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:48,000
Speaker 2: the line as well. I think eleven for twelve at

715
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:48,680
Speaker 2: the line, would you think?

716
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:50,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was pretty pissed off with the Hawks actually

717
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:53,000
Speaker 4: after last nights time, because it was there for them

718
00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 4: to win the bet Man. They had some awful, awful turnovers.

719
00:33:57,040 --> 00:33:58,400
Speaker 4: A couple of times I just couldn't even get the

720
00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:00,360
Speaker 4: ball inbounds, you know, without a being star. And then

721
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:02,880
Speaker 4: on that one play you're talking about there, Jimmy Butler

722
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:05,000
Speaker 4: taking it down. It was another sloppy pass from Trey Young.

723
00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:07,120
Speaker 4: He had ten turnovers last night. He was good, He

724
00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:09,040
Speaker 4: was better than he was in Game one. But that

725
00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:11,880
Speaker 4: defensive pressure is it. I just think it's in your

726
00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:14,479
Speaker 4: mind for the entire game, because you know, I've talked

727
00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:17,000
Speaker 4: in the past about how a steal is not really steal.

728
00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:19,640
Speaker 4: Most of the time it's an interception. Last night there

729
00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:21,960
Speaker 4: were a few real live ball steals where they just

730
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:24,440
Speaker 4: took the ball off. The Atlanta Hawks gave vincen I

731
00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:26,480
Speaker 4: thought was really locked in. His job was like go

732
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:29,040
Speaker 4: out there, pick tray up full court and just get

733
00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:30,360
Speaker 4: in his face. And then if it wasn't him, it

734
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:33,360
Speaker 4: was Kayler Martin, you know, someone else there just making

735
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:35,520
Speaker 4: sure that Trey knew every time he touched the ball

736
00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:38,200
Speaker 4: someone was there in his face. But despite all that,

737
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:40,719
Speaker 4: you know, bog Done, Bogdanovich had a good game off

738
00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:42,879
Speaker 4: the bench, hitting threes in that fourth quarter. He brought

739
00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:45,200
Speaker 4: them back into it, but they just couldn't quite get

740
00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:46,880
Speaker 4: over the hump. And then when they did make some

741
00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:49,320
Speaker 4: of those turnovers, the heat made them pay fully. Because

742
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:51,640
Speaker 4: you mentioned the three point shooting there and just the

743
00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:53,880
Speaker 4: fact that Jimmy Butler went for forty five. Tim Reynolds

744
00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:56,560
Speaker 4: actually had a stat here this morning which was incredible,

745
00:34:56,880 --> 00:34:59,479
Speaker 4: saying the last time Heat fans, a Heat Heat fans

746
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:01,760
Speaker 4: saw a Heat players score forty five in a game

747
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:04,880
Speaker 4: at home before Jimmy Butler did it last night was

748
00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:07,839
Speaker 4: when Lebron had sixty one in twenty fourteen, which is

749
00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:11,360
Speaker 4: just remarkable because that's the moment. He don't want to

750
00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:13,160
Speaker 4: have a guy have to go for that many points.

751
00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:15,600
Speaker 4: They like it when a lot of guys contribute, but

752
00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:18,560
Speaker 4: last night they weren't getting those normal contributions from other guys.

753
00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:20,960
Speaker 4: Bam didn't have a great game by his standards. Even

754
00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:24,080
Speaker 4: Kyle Lowry didn't score all that much either, so sort

755
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:26,280
Speaker 4: of Jimmy had to take over and be playoff Jimmy.

756
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:29,239
Speaker 4: So the Hawks in a sense won that battle that

757
00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:31,520
Speaker 4: they like, we had one guy beat as no one

758
00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:34,319
Speaker 4: else could. Unfortunately, that guy was just too good for them,

759
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:37,000
Speaker 4: So I was I was frustrated. There was a few

760
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:39,120
Speaker 4: curse words going at the computer last night because it

761
00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:41,040
Speaker 4: was like, you've got to take care, You've got to

762
00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:43,439
Speaker 4: take better care against the ball against this Heat team.

763
00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:46,239
Speaker 4: They're just too good and they really do punish you,

764
00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:48,439
Speaker 4: and they did last night, and it cost them big

765
00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:49,080
Speaker 4: time in the end.

766
00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:51,800
Speaker 2: I couldn't agree with you more leally, I was also

767
00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:54,839
Speaker 2: cursing at the Hawks. I took notes on their dumb

768
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:58,120
Speaker 2: asma sticks that really hurt them in this. Let's start

769
00:35:58,160 --> 00:36:00,000
Speaker 2: with Trey trying to throw a lob over his head.

770
00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:02,880
Speaker 2: You trailing John Collins in the first quarter.

771
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:04,120
Speaker 4: I wasn't cool.

772
00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:07,560
Speaker 2: Pretty cool, yeah, I know, but what are you also doing?

773
00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:10,120
Speaker 2: Take the layup. You're gonna need every two points you

774
00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:12,600
Speaker 2: can get against this team that was a little suspect,

775
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:14,480
Speaker 2: and then you already named a bunch of the like.

776
00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:17,800
Speaker 2: The inbounds passes for the Hawks last night was garbage.

777
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:21,040
Speaker 2: I remember in the first court of Delon Wright had one.

778
00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:23,319
Speaker 2: It was like a pick six by Strus and one

779
00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:26,400
Speaker 2: on the other end. Then Wright chucked away one in transition.

780
00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:29,160
Speaker 2: He was like, he appeared to be pissed with Bogie

781
00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:31,120
Speaker 2: for not cutting, but he threw it like ten feet

782
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:33,759
Speaker 2: out of bounds. And Delan Wright played great defensively, I

783
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:35,759
Speaker 2: mean he was active as hands everywhere. He was good

784
00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:39,520
Speaker 2: on defense, but offense not as much. Collins. He had

785
00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:41,719
Speaker 2: one of those poor inbounds trying to throw it into Hunter.

786
00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:43,759
Speaker 2: That was one where Lowry dove all over it and

787
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:47,080
Speaker 2: picked up a third foul on DeAndre Hunter. Just a

788
00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:50,120
Speaker 2: bad pass, just a poor pass. Again on an inbounds,

789
00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:54,000
Speaker 2: Trey dribbled into a double team just so like absolutely

790
00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:56,400
Speaker 2: dribbled right into a double team on the sidelines, stepped

791
00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:58,360
Speaker 2: out of bounds. So that was one of his ten turnovers.

792
00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:02,719
Speaker 2: Collins jacked hilariously early in the shot clock in the

793
00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:04,359
Speaker 2: third quarter, and it was a brick. I mean there

794
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:06,080
Speaker 2: was like three seconds into the Chaka was like, God,

795
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:07,600
Speaker 2: what are you doing. You can get a better shot

796
00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:10,439
Speaker 2: than that. You had an empty possession down ten points,

797
00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:12,479
Speaker 2: where Collins just shuffled his feet in the paint. Okay,

798
00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:15,200
Speaker 2: one of those crappy, you know travels that you're just like, oh,

799
00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:17,279
Speaker 2: you're moving a little. Your brain's moving a little too

800
00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:19,640
Speaker 2: quick for your feet to keep up. And then two

801
00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:23,640
Speaker 2: more Trey throwing a hiss poor oop to a conguate

802
00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:26,719
Speaker 2: ricocheted off the glass and Butler dunked it in transition.

803
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:29,040
Speaker 2: And then the fourth quarter, his tenth turnover, Trey jung.

804
00:37:29,719 --> 00:37:32,480
Speaker 2: He picked up his dribble, telegraphed that he was going

805
00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:34,279
Speaker 2: to pass it to bogie at the top, and that

806
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:37,359
Speaker 2: one Butler picked score on the other end, just like,

807
00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:40,640
Speaker 2: what did I just list there? Nine or ten? Like

808
00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:43,960
Speaker 2: a lot of those were not because of the Heat

809
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:45,920
Speaker 2: all that much. It was just like picking up dribbles,

810
00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:49,200
Speaker 2: telegraphing passes, and just making poor passes, and those all

811
00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:51,520
Speaker 2: added up to an unfortunate loss for the Hawks.

812
00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:54,160
Speaker 1: I thought, Trey, Yeah, they're not playing against the Charlotte

813
00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:56,239
Speaker 1: Hornets anymore. They got to play with a little bit

814
00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:59,759
Speaker 1: more force and a little bit more poise, and they

815
00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:01,880
Speaker 1: just to take care of the ball, to be quite honest,

816
00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:04,120
Speaker 1: because you can't win a game with your all NBA

817
00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:07,719
Speaker 1: player having ten turnovers. Very unlikely. Jimmy has controlled this

818
00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:10,480
Speaker 1: series completely. This was only a ten point win for

819
00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:12,480
Speaker 1: the Heat. It did get down to a three point game,

820
00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:15,160
Speaker 1: but it never really felt in danger for the Heat.

821
00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:18,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess if the Hawks stay hot in

822
00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:19,960
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, they pull off the win. But it

823
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:22,040
Speaker 1: just felt like the Heat had the answer every single

824
00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:24,680
Speaker 1: time and made every single play that they needed to.

825
00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:28,279
Speaker 1: Earlier this week, Tyler Hero said that the numbers don't

826
00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:31,200
Speaker 1: show how good of a shooter Jimmy Butler is. It's

827
00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:33,800
Speaker 1: true tass had the stats twenty four percent in the

828
00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:36,480
Speaker 1: regular season, thirty six percent in the playoffs. So now

829
00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:39,600
Speaker 1: Eric Spolstra is saying that Jimmy Butler is like Dwayneade

830
00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:42,280
Speaker 1: because you wouldn't leave Dwayne Wade open in a playoff

831
00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:44,080
Speaker 1: game if he's shooting the three pointer. You know who

832
00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:48,040
Speaker 1: agrees with him? Me but also Dwayne Wade. He said afterwards,

833
00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:50,400
Speaker 1: He's like, Yeah, that's exactly right, And that's what it's like.

834
00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:52,920
Speaker 1: You know, Jimmy Butler, he's not a great shooter, but

835
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:55,200
Speaker 1: he's also a decent enough shooter, and he's gonna take

836
00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:57,800
Speaker 1: him when he needs to. I thought he played completely

837
00:38:57,800 --> 00:38:59,560
Speaker 1: in the flow of the game last night to score

838
00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:02,160
Speaker 1: forty five points, and it felt like every shot he

839
00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:05,440
Speaker 1: took was a good shot. Was super super impressive. That

840
00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:08,560
Speaker 1: being said, having seen Game two and the much better

841
00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:11,520
Speaker 1: effort that the Hawks gave, I think they can win

842
00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:14,480
Speaker 1: a game here in Atlanta. Yeah, twenty and three in

843
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:17,480
Speaker 1: their last twenty three home games. I think they're like

844
00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:20,120
Speaker 1: twenty seven and fourteen, including a ten game losing streak

845
00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:22,799
Speaker 1: at one point, so very well. But the Hawks have

846
00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:25,839
Speaker 1: only averaged eleven three pointers made in these first two

847
00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:28,840
Speaker 1: games shooting under thirty percent, you gotta think they shoot

848
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:31,319
Speaker 1: a little bit better here at the Fortress. And if

849
00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:33,560
Speaker 1: that's the case, if the role players are playing well,

850
00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:36,360
Speaker 1: if you get another good Bogdanovic game and some additional

851
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:38,720
Speaker 1: made threes, steal one here in Atlanta.

852
00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:41,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think they started to feel like their run

853
00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:44,080
Speaker 3: from last year because they were they were strutton They

854
00:39:44,120 --> 00:39:46,000
Speaker 3: were feeling good in this game, I thought, and that's

855
00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:50,719
Speaker 3: why all those wild alley out passes were happening. They

856
00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:54,680
Speaker 3: were just way, way, way too many. Yeah, they got

857
00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:57,120
Speaker 3: to I mean, they just have to slow down a

858
00:39:57,120 --> 00:39:59,400
Speaker 3: little bit. They were the best team in the NBA

859
00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:02,640
Speaker 3: this year at not turning it over with only twelve

860
00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:05,440
Speaker 3: and that's jumped to about nineteen per game here in

861
00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:07,560
Speaker 3: these first two games. And I think part of it

862
00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:10,799
Speaker 3: is Trey moving off the ball a little bit in

863
00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:13,640
Speaker 3: game two, just you know, just a touch, and other

864
00:40:13,719 --> 00:40:16,560
Speaker 3: guys with the ball in their hands and they're just

865
00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:20,520
Speaker 3: playing a little bit differently. But mostly it's a Joe.

866
00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:22,279
Speaker 3: It's not a Jimmy. It's a sloppy Joe out there.

867
00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:26,480
Speaker 3: They're really just getting a little too yeah, just sloppy

868
00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:27,440
Speaker 3: with the ball, really.

869
00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:29,239
Speaker 2: Careless with it. Yeah, they have to play. They have

870
00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:31,720
Speaker 2: to play. It's not you said it. It's not the Hornets.

871
00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:33,560
Speaker 2: You have to play a nearly perfect game to beat

872
00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:36,000
Speaker 2: this Heat team. And all those mistakes that I went

873
00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:37,600
Speaker 2: through again, a lot of them were just them being

874
00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:40,000
Speaker 2: careless with the ball. I liked Trey working off the

875
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:41,960
Speaker 2: ball more. I thought that did unlock them a little bit.

876
00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:43,759
Speaker 2: I thought they were getting a lot better looks than

877
00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:46,120
Speaker 2: they did in Game one. I think there's a balance

878
00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:48,600
Speaker 2: there for sure, with him sort of dominating the ball

879
00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:51,359
Speaker 2: and then moving them off it. But yeah, I'm with you.

880
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:53,480
Speaker 2: I think they can win one of these games here

881
00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:55,759
Speaker 2: in Atlanta. I got my standing room only tickets for

882
00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:57,680
Speaker 2: Game three. Leately, it's a Friday night. Am I going

883
00:40:57,719 --> 00:40:58,359
Speaker 2: to see you down there?

884
00:40:58,440 --> 00:41:02,040
Speaker 4: Drinking a tall boy? But trying to work a few

885
00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:04,800
Speaker 4: things behind the scenes here to get involved, So hopefully

886
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:07,480
Speaker 4: I'll be down there. But I do think that Delon

887
00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:09,319
Speaker 4: Wright needs to handle the ball a little bit and

888
00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:12,160
Speaker 4: just get tray moving, you know, because they tend to trap.

889
00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:13,680
Speaker 4: They tend to know if he's got the ball. It's

890
00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:16,200
Speaker 4: like everyone's bigger than trade. They've always got a bigger

891
00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:18,399
Speaker 4: defender and they've got someone ready to go, whether it's

892
00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:22,080
Speaker 4: Struce or Vincent or Martin or Kyle whatever. Like every

893
00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:24,480
Speaker 4: time Trey's got the ball, he's under pressure. So get

894
00:41:24,560 --> 00:41:26,000
Speaker 4: him off the ball. If he can get some open

895
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:28,160
Speaker 4: looks and maybe spot up for three, that might be

896
00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:30,480
Speaker 4: something to do. But also Gallinari needs to do something.

897
00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:33,759
Speaker 4: He looked ordinary last night there he got a couple

898
00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:35,640
Speaker 4: of open looks. He couldn't knock him down. They need

899
00:41:35,719 --> 00:41:37,880
Speaker 4: everything from him if he's if he's going to be

900
00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:38,880
Speaker 4: out there on the floor.

901
00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:42,200
Speaker 2: Ear Moff's here for the Hawks fans. I guess Raptors

902
00:41:42,200 --> 00:41:44,440
Speaker 2: fans too. Teams that take a two lead and a

903
00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:47,080
Speaker 2: best of seven matchup have gone on to win the

904
00:41:47,120 --> 00:41:51,720
Speaker 2: series ninety two point four percent of the time. Hawks

905
00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:54,759
Speaker 2: have never rallied from two down in a series in

906
00:41:54,840 --> 00:41:58,160
Speaker 2: twenty five in the Heat have never wasted a two

907
00:41:58,360 --> 00:41:59,839
Speaker 2: lead seventeen.

908
00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:02,520
Speaker 4: They both do then, Really, so it's great, Actually, it's

909
00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:03,280
Speaker 4: good for Atlanta.

910
00:42:04,719 --> 00:42:05,319
Speaker 1: True, it's true.

911
00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:07,160
Speaker 2: It's a good way to look at it. Oh, you're

912
00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:09,000
Speaker 2: like that guy at the roulette table where it's come

913
00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:10,279
Speaker 2: up black twenty five times.

914
00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:14,000
Speaker 4: It's gotta be red has to be goheavy on red.

915
00:42:14,080 --> 00:42:17,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, it has to do it. I have some random

916
00:42:17,520 --> 00:42:19,880
Speaker 2: random notes from this one, JD. I think you have

917
00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:23,279
Speaker 2: some photos that I sent you first. I love the heat,

918
00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:25,400
Speaker 2: I love the crowd. I like the white Hot Playoffs,

919
00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:27,480
Speaker 2: like you know their overall look. I know they got

920
00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:31,160
Speaker 2: the alternate jerseys going. At times. I can't stand though,

921
00:42:31,400 --> 00:42:35,399
Speaker 2: this logo on their floor that what. I don't even

922
00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:37,880
Speaker 2: know what I'm looking at in the FTX arena, but

923
00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:46,160
Speaker 2: that logo to the left of it, what is It

924
00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:49,239
Speaker 2: drives me? It drives me insane. It looks like a

925
00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:53,080
Speaker 2: dot matrix printer that's gone wrong. You're trying to print something,

926
00:42:53,719 --> 00:42:55,600
Speaker 2: you know, back in the eighties, and it's running out

927
00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:58,640
Speaker 2: of ink. It literally makes me angry looking at it,

928
00:42:58,640 --> 00:43:00,400
Speaker 2: turning into a temper pois every time I see it.

929
00:43:00,440 --> 00:43:02,000
Speaker 2: You see it a lot there, of course, So there's that.

930
00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:03,960
Speaker 2: That's a weird note. And then this one. There was

931
00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:06,320
Speaker 2: a funny little moment where Butler fell on the ball.

932
00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:08,799
Speaker 2: And this is for all my old heads out there.

933
00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:13,440
Speaker 2: I immediately thought of the pretty Ricky Late Night special

934
00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:16,399
Speaker 2: video of something an Automan Trey.

935
00:43:16,520 --> 00:43:17,680
Speaker 1: You know what I'm talking about.

936
00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:20,280
Speaker 2: It's like an OH seven YouTube video.

937
00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:28,160
Speaker 1: Yes, that's that's a must watch after the show. I know,

938
00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:32,880
Speaker 1: I was watching ivers and eating popcorn, but smanging on

939
00:43:32,960 --> 00:43:35,960
Speaker 1: a couch. That's. Oh my god, it's hilarious.

940
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:38,760
Speaker 2: But I watched it last night and I was howling.

941
00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:41,799
Speaker 1: It was funny that I even remembered. I haven't seen

942
00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:45,360
Speaker 1: it in a long time. That's that's funny.

943
00:43:45,760 --> 00:43:49,320
Speaker 2: That's again a reference he's gonna get lee. Do you

944
00:43:49,360 --> 00:43:51,319
Speaker 2: get that reference? Do you know what I'm talking about?

945
00:43:51,400 --> 00:43:51,600
Speaker 4: No?

946
00:43:52,239 --> 00:43:56,040
Speaker 2: No, okay, you can look up Pretty Ricky Special if

947
00:43:56,040 --> 00:43:59,760
Speaker 2: you want to see a funny video. I mean, honestly,

948
00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:03,120
Speaker 2: the best way to scobe it is humping an ottoman

949
00:44:03,840 --> 00:44:05,280
Speaker 2: sexually humping antimate.

950
00:44:05,480 --> 00:44:10,040
Speaker 1: The vibes are ejaculate for that one. That's the show.

951
00:44:10,320 --> 00:44:11,000
Speaker 2: That's the show.

952
00:44:11,120 --> 00:44:12,839
Speaker 4: When you were talking about Pretty, I thought you're going

953
00:44:12,880 --> 00:44:14,560
Speaker 4: to bring up David Beckham there, who was in the

954
00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:16,840
Speaker 4: in the crowd last night with his daughter Harper, And

955
00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:20,240
Speaker 4: my goodness, he's a handsome gentleman, isn't he? He really slut?

956
00:44:20,719 --> 00:44:24,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, now you're ejaculating. What do you think about the

957
00:44:24,600 --> 00:44:27,200
Speaker 2: court side seats? I think he's sitting like right there

958
00:44:27,239 --> 00:44:29,480
Speaker 2: on the floor that have the monitor.

959
00:44:29,880 --> 00:44:33,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, so I was trying to find him because when

960
00:44:33,040 --> 00:44:35,920
Speaker 4: when Jim Jackson and who was on the call there

961
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:36,440
Speaker 4: last night.

962
00:44:37,480 --> 00:44:40,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, honestly a great deal. Jim Jackson is one of

963
00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:41,480
Speaker 2: my favorites.

964
00:44:41,560 --> 00:44:44,279
Speaker 4: Yeah, Jim, Jim Jackson's really really good. But he said, oh,

965
00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:46,720
Speaker 4: Beckham's only three seats to your left or down.

966
00:44:46,600 --> 00:44:47,239
Speaker 1: From he was.

967
00:44:47,360 --> 00:44:49,880
Speaker 2: He had his Beckham and his back to us watching

968
00:44:49,920 --> 00:44:52,000
Speaker 2: the Yeah. Yeah, in fact, if you put up the

969
00:44:52,040 --> 00:44:54,919
Speaker 2: stupid floor logo again, you might be Yeah.

970
00:44:55,080 --> 00:44:57,719
Speaker 4: I just couldn't quite figure where he was. I think

971
00:44:57,719 --> 00:44:58,520
Speaker 4: I knew where he was.

972
00:44:58,600 --> 00:45:00,719
Speaker 2: But he's right there in the girls don't cry.

973
00:45:00,760 --> 00:45:01,640
Speaker 4: That team, okay?

974
00:45:01,719 --> 00:45:04,680
Speaker 2: Yeah? Right, yeah, yeah, and see you got the monitor

975
00:45:04,719 --> 00:45:07,640
Speaker 2: there to you know, like he's a scorers table. Maybe

976
00:45:07,640 --> 00:45:09,560
Speaker 2: he's watching pretty ricky.

977
00:45:11,560 --> 00:45:15,080
Speaker 1: I haven't thought about that such a long time. It's good,

978
00:45:15,840 --> 00:45:16,239
Speaker 1: all right.

979
00:45:16,680 --> 00:45:21,320
Speaker 2: Any other notes guys on heat Hawks, Tassi coming down Friday,

980
00:45:21,320 --> 00:45:23,000
Speaker 2: and I don't know Trey's gonna be back in Chicago

981
00:45:23,080 --> 00:45:25,320
Speaker 2: for his own team, cheering on them, You're coming down anything,

982
00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:26,839
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know.

983
00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:29,239
Speaker 3: I was waiting to see what effort the Hawks put

984
00:45:29,280 --> 00:45:31,960
Speaker 3: forth in Game two to make a call, and they

985
00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:36,799
Speaker 3: definitely did. It felt like a winnable game. I don't know,

986
00:45:37,960 --> 00:45:40,319
Speaker 3: that's all I gotta say. I might be watching Magic Mike.

987
00:45:40,400 --> 00:45:43,360
Speaker 3: That's what that Jimmy Butler humping made me think of.

988
00:45:43,440 --> 00:45:45,319
Speaker 3: I think Magic Mike won in Magic Mike.

989
00:45:45,400 --> 00:45:51,600
Speaker 2: Magic Mike inspired by the Pretty Ricky Late Night especially. Okay,

990
00:45:51,960 --> 00:45:55,600
Speaker 2: let's let's go to some news here. Kyrie Irving find

991
00:45:55,600 --> 00:46:00,239
Speaker 2: fifty thousand dollars on Tuesday for making obscene gestures ward

992
00:46:00,320 --> 00:46:02,919
Speaker 2: fans during that Sunday loss to the Celtics in Game one.

993
00:46:03,280 --> 00:46:06,440
Speaker 2: A league statement said Irving's fine is for making op

994
00:46:06,440 --> 00:46:09,280
Speaker 2: scene gestures on the playing court and directing profaned language

995
00:46:09,560 --> 00:46:14,160
Speaker 2: toward the spectator's stands at the TD Garden. So there

996
00:46:14,160 --> 00:46:16,319
Speaker 2: it is fifty k. I think Bobby Marks was right.

997
00:46:16,400 --> 00:46:19,279
Speaker 2: So it's the max you can get without getting into

998
00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:24,640
Speaker 2: the legality I think with you know, the player's union

999
00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:26,600
Speaker 2: and stuff like that. So, Trey, what are you not

1000
00:46:26,680 --> 00:46:27,719
Speaker 2: surprised I assume by this?

1001
00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:31,359
Speaker 1: No, I guess maybe a little surprised to find out

1002
00:46:31,400 --> 00:46:35,120
Speaker 1: that NBA finds are all inclusive. You know, fifty thousand.

1003
00:46:35,520 --> 00:46:37,480
Speaker 1: It covers everything you can. Even if you want to

1004
00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:40,799
Speaker 1: spend another twenty five dollars, they'll give you a a

1005
00:46:40,880 --> 00:46:43,600
Speaker 1: plastic cup you can refill as many times as you want.

1006
00:46:43,719 --> 00:46:48,080
Speaker 1: Fifty k for several fingers and swearing in a press conference,

1007
00:46:48,160 --> 00:46:52,719
Speaker 1: Kyrie Irving has to think totally worth it, right, Like

1008
00:46:52,800 --> 00:46:54,319
Speaker 1: I mean, he's like, I'm going to keep the same

1009
00:46:54,440 --> 00:46:56,319
Speaker 1: energy if that's what the fans are doing to me.

1010
00:46:56,360 --> 00:46:58,719
Speaker 1: And now he's got to pay fifty thousand dollars, that's

1011
00:46:58,840 --> 00:47:02,800
Speaker 1: basically nothing. It's gonna happen again. There are f Kyrie

1012
00:47:02,840 --> 00:47:06,680
Speaker 1: Irving chants at Red Sox games, so surely it's gonna

1013
00:47:06,680 --> 00:47:10,279
Speaker 1: happen again tonight against the Celtics once again for the

1014
00:47:10,320 --> 00:47:14,160
Speaker 1: lolow price of fifty thousand dollars. The Birds are coming back, baby.

1015
00:47:14,239 --> 00:47:17,319
Speaker 1: It's just a matter of does does Kyrie Irving want

1016
00:47:17,360 --> 00:47:20,400
Speaker 1: to be the villain once again? Because Kevin Durant had

1017
00:47:20,440 --> 00:47:22,680
Speaker 1: like the best thoughts on this. He's like, this is

1018
00:47:22,760 --> 00:47:25,440
Speaker 1: just what sports are. You love him so much, when

1019
00:47:25,480 --> 00:47:28,600
Speaker 1: it's taken away, you hate him. It's all similar emotions.

1020
00:47:28,840 --> 00:47:32,760
Speaker 1: He said it really eloquently. But he also said Kyrie

1021
00:47:32,760 --> 00:47:35,040
Speaker 1: doesn't always want to be the villain. Maybe tonight he

1022
00:47:35,080 --> 00:47:37,880
Speaker 1: won't want to be and he'll just take the yells.

1023
00:47:37,960 --> 00:47:40,799
Speaker 1: But I cannot imagine that is going to be the

1024
00:47:40,840 --> 00:47:42,520
Speaker 1: case if it's this small of a fine.

1025
00:47:43,440 --> 00:47:46,200
Speaker 2: Yeah. Interesting, what I hadn't really thought about it. Trey

1026
00:47:46,280 --> 00:47:49,799
Speaker 2: is saying, we see more birds tonight from Kyrie. I mean,

1027
00:47:50,080 --> 00:47:52,480
Speaker 2: can you bet on that? I'm not sure? But what

1028
00:47:52,520 --> 00:47:53,400
Speaker 2: do you think Lee does that?

1029
00:47:53,719 --> 00:47:56,560
Speaker 4: Yeah? I think Kyrie maybe doesn't want to. But then

1030
00:47:56,640 --> 00:47:58,800
Speaker 4: in the heat of the moment in the game, especially

1031
00:47:58,840 --> 00:48:01,200
Speaker 4: if he's cooking again in the fs are swearing and

1032
00:48:01,280 --> 00:48:03,640
Speaker 4: yelling and screaming at him, of course he's going to return.

1033
00:48:03,680 --> 00:48:05,480
Speaker 4: He's like fifty grand for this, sure, why not he

1034
00:48:05,520 --> 00:48:07,719
Speaker 4: gets paid like three hundred grand a game. Well, goes

1035
00:48:07,760 --> 00:48:08,600
Speaker 4: different in the playoffs.

1036
00:48:08,600 --> 00:48:10,800
Speaker 2: Don't you also think the league has maybe talked to

1037
00:48:10,880 --> 00:48:14,160
Speaker 2: Kyrie and said, you know, hey, look, you can't continue this.

1038
00:48:14,320 --> 00:48:16,239
Speaker 2: I know it, we're only digging into the fifty k here,

1039
00:48:16,320 --> 00:48:18,200
Speaker 2: but cut this shit out in his post. Well, you know,

1040
00:48:18,320 --> 00:48:20,560
Speaker 2: I mean, otherwise there'll be more severe Yeah.

1041
00:48:20,840 --> 00:48:23,359
Speaker 4: I think I think you know, they're going to see

1042
00:48:23,360 --> 00:48:25,520
Speaker 4: how it goes. Of course, because remember Kyrie a couple

1043
00:48:25,520 --> 00:48:27,120
Speaker 4: of years ago said I'm not talking to the media,

1044
00:48:27,160 --> 00:48:29,200
Speaker 4: and that didn't last long because the NBA said, you're

1045
00:48:29,200 --> 00:48:33,000
Speaker 4: going to have to and so he did. So you know,

1046
00:48:33,320 --> 00:48:35,200
Speaker 4: as long as you know it's that fine line, and

1047
00:48:35,239 --> 00:48:38,200
Speaker 4: like if it's just fans jeering and chanting against him,

1048
00:48:38,239 --> 00:48:40,200
Speaker 4: like that's okay. But as long as it doesn't get

1049
00:48:40,239 --> 00:48:42,400
Speaker 4: out of hand and there's no incident between the fans

1050
00:48:42,440 --> 00:48:44,960
Speaker 4: and I just why wouldn't. I mean, Boston's one of

1051
00:48:45,040 --> 00:48:48,040
Speaker 4: the most hostile places to play. He used to play there.

1052
00:48:48,120 --> 00:48:50,319
Speaker 4: They know they've gotten under his skin already. You know,

1053
00:48:50,400 --> 00:48:52,440
Speaker 4: the fans are bringing it. Can a man can anyone

1054
00:48:52,520 --> 00:48:55,719
Speaker 4: resist going back at someone else after you know, two

1055
00:48:55,800 --> 00:48:58,319
Speaker 4: three four hours maybe from from the time he gets

1056
00:48:58,360 --> 00:48:59,719
Speaker 4: on the court warms up to the end of the

1057
00:48:59,719 --> 00:49:03,120
Speaker 4: game without giving it back. I mean, I don't think

1058
00:49:03,160 --> 00:49:05,760
Speaker 4: he can do that. So it's gonna happen.

1059
00:49:06,200 --> 00:49:09,280
Speaker 2: I think it's actually more likely tonight tasks that instead

1060
00:49:09,320 --> 00:49:11,799
Speaker 2: of Kyrie dropping the middle finger, he'll be dropping the

1061
00:49:11,800 --> 00:49:15,080
Speaker 2: pointy finger pointing out someone in the crowd to get

1062
00:49:15,080 --> 00:49:17,759
Speaker 2: that guy out of here, because maybe, well, someone's going

1063
00:49:17,840 --> 00:49:20,920
Speaker 2: to cross the line. I mean, there's no doubt. I'm

1064
00:49:20,920 --> 00:49:22,799
Speaker 2: sure things were said that cross the line in game one,

1065
00:49:22,840 --> 00:49:24,960
Speaker 2: and they're gonna happen in game two because these people

1066
00:49:25,000 --> 00:49:27,480
Speaker 2: are like they feed off the attention. Now they know

1067
00:49:27,640 --> 00:49:30,600
Speaker 2: it obviously affects him and rattles him to some extent.

1068
00:49:31,280 --> 00:49:33,560
Speaker 2: So that's my prediction. Tonight, you're gonna we're gonna see

1069
00:49:33,560 --> 00:49:38,200
Speaker 2: that classic, the pointing Ref's coming over, that little converging. Everybody,

1070
00:49:38,239 --> 00:49:40,600
Speaker 2: Oh that guy, that guy. I'm saying it's a guy.

1071
00:49:40,840 --> 00:49:43,720
Speaker 2: Most likely a guy went too far and they get tossed.

1072
00:49:43,800 --> 00:49:46,040
Speaker 3: That's what I'll go on the record as my proud

1073
00:49:46,719 --> 00:49:50,360
Speaker 3: that's possible. I would say that Kyrie doesn't want to

1074
00:49:50,360 --> 00:49:52,400
Speaker 3: make it seem like it affects him, so he doesn't

1075
00:49:52,440 --> 00:49:56,879
Speaker 3: do a thing tonight. He he internalizes it and uh yeah,

1076
00:49:56,960 --> 00:50:02,560
Speaker 3: he focuses on the Well, if anybody's fingers will be prevalent,

1077
00:50:02,600 --> 00:50:05,000
Speaker 3: it will probably be Kevin Durant's fingers. You'll see a

1078
00:50:05,040 --> 00:50:08,319
Speaker 3: real long finger at somebody, I think, because they do

1079
00:50:08,400 --> 00:50:11,399
Speaker 3: take turns. You got you got, you know, Kyrie taking

1080
00:50:11,480 --> 00:50:13,520
Speaker 3: over one game, Kevin taking over the next game. It's

1081
00:50:13,520 --> 00:50:15,879
Speaker 3: gonna be a bounce back Kevin game, and he's gonna

1082
00:50:15,880 --> 00:50:18,560
Speaker 3: give it to to Boston and you'll see a long

1083
00:50:18,760 --> 00:50:22,400
Speaker 3: KD like those those huge fingers, those long fingers like

1084
00:50:22,440 --> 00:50:28,080
Speaker 3: Bomani Jones fingers. If he's got specially long fingers, and KD.

1085
00:50:28,120 --> 00:50:29,919
Speaker 2: Was, well, do you think do you think Kat gives

1086
00:50:29,920 --> 00:50:31,960
Speaker 2: the middle finger like I do, where I drop all

1087
00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:37,040
Speaker 2: the other fingers super low where some people I can't

1088
00:50:37,040 --> 00:50:38,360
Speaker 2: even do it, but some people.

1089
00:50:38,120 --> 00:50:40,200
Speaker 1: People like like a half yeah, yeah.

1090
00:50:40,160 --> 00:50:41,640
Speaker 2: Like that drop them.

1091
00:50:43,480 --> 00:50:46,640
Speaker 1: You full finger. I feel like I feel like we're

1092
00:50:46,680 --> 00:50:48,520
Speaker 1: that video, those guys who just keep each other with.

1093
00:50:51,640 --> 00:50:54,800
Speaker 2: Okay, can you give the other middle finger?

1094
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:58,280
Speaker 1: Can you give the ring finger? I mean doesn't mean anything,

1095
00:50:58,400 --> 00:50:59,919
Speaker 1: but everybody would know what it means.

1096
00:51:01,520 --> 00:51:06,640
Speaker 2: Let's a great point. I mean, what would Yeah, I

1097
00:51:06,680 --> 00:51:08,040
Speaker 2: think so the nice way of.

1098
00:51:08,040 --> 00:51:13,040
Speaker 1: Doing it, a nice middle finger. I'm mad at you,

1099
00:51:13,080 --> 00:51:14,840
Speaker 1: but don't find me only literally.

1100
00:51:14,880 --> 00:51:16,799
Speaker 2: I first thought you were asking me if I could

1101
00:51:16,880 --> 00:51:19,080
Speaker 2: do the middle finger on both hands. I'm like, yeah,

1102
00:51:19,080 --> 00:51:20,160
Speaker 2: I can do that.

1103
00:51:20,200 --> 00:51:23,320
Speaker 1: I was proud to show you a sick left middle finger.

1104
00:51:23,719 --> 00:51:27,200
Speaker 2: Yeah. Uh. When someone throws the middle finger, they do

1105
00:51:27,280 --> 00:51:29,359
Speaker 2: they put their hand up like this after, like they

1106
00:51:29,360 --> 00:51:32,240
Speaker 2: do when they score with their left Uh. Luca guys

1107
00:51:32,560 --> 00:51:35,080
Speaker 2: uncertain for Game three, but the Mads are hopeful.

1108
00:51:35,160 --> 00:51:35,319
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1109
00:51:35,320 --> 00:51:38,759
Speaker 2: One source told ESPN his status for tomorrow's Game three

1110
00:51:39,680 --> 00:51:42,520
Speaker 2: quote uncertain, saying the guard was day to day. Another

1111
00:51:42,640 --> 00:51:46,040
Speaker 2: source told ESPN there's hope that Luca could return for

1112
00:51:46,080 --> 00:51:50,640
Speaker 2: Game three, though it's quote not a sure thing. So Lee,

1113
00:51:50,719 --> 00:51:54,960
Speaker 2: we don't we don't really know here, but we don't know.

1114
00:51:55,840 --> 00:51:56,360
Speaker 1: We don't know.

1115
00:51:56,640 --> 00:51:59,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, that's it. Nobody really knows. You got

1116
00:52:00,120 --> 00:52:02,720
Speaker 4: one source thing, maybe another one saying likely or whatever.

1117
00:52:03,719 --> 00:52:05,560
Speaker 4: If Luca's out on the court, then he's good to go,

1118
00:52:05,640 --> 00:52:08,520
Speaker 4: I guess. But it's just that weird injury, you know,

1119
00:52:08,600 --> 00:52:12,239
Speaker 4: because it could be again connected to a more significant

1120
00:52:12,239 --> 00:52:13,960
Speaker 4: injury if he does any damage out there. You know,

1121
00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:16,520
Speaker 4: you calf Obviously it's used for your speed and your

1122
00:52:16,520 --> 00:52:19,759
Speaker 4: explosiveness and things like that, and if Luca doesn't have it,

1123
00:52:19,800 --> 00:52:23,200
Speaker 4: then he's going to be significantly hindered in what he

1124
00:52:23,239 --> 00:52:25,960
Speaker 4: can do out there. So I think it was.

1125
00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:29,880
Speaker 2: It's possible that like Brunson and Maxi Kleber bought Luca

1126
00:52:29,920 --> 00:52:32,160
Speaker 2: a couple more days rest here. Oh for sure is

1127
00:52:32,200 --> 00:52:35,160
Speaker 2: tying the series one one? Maybe you Yeah, if they're

1128
00:52:35,200 --> 00:52:37,680
Speaker 2: down to oh, then you're like more likely, like okay,

1129
00:52:37,719 --> 00:52:40,360
Speaker 2: Luca try and save us, but maybe they give it,

1130
00:52:40,400 --> 00:52:42,160
Speaker 2: they give it another go with on on. That's that's

1131
00:52:42,200 --> 00:52:42,960
Speaker 2: I guess. My guess.

1132
00:52:43,200 --> 00:52:45,560
Speaker 4: I think that is absolutely possible. I just I mean,

1133
00:52:45,560 --> 00:52:47,239
Speaker 4: if the MAVs do bring him back early though, and

1134
00:52:47,280 --> 00:52:49,399
Speaker 4: he does blow it out even further than that, they're

1135
00:52:49,400 --> 00:52:52,000
Speaker 4: going to be, you know, embarrassed by that. You know,

1136
00:52:52,040 --> 00:52:54,480
Speaker 4: you just can't take a risk. So we'll see. But

1137
00:52:54,920 --> 00:52:58,319
Speaker 4: classic whatever's happening there with the MAVs medical staff, that

1138
00:52:58,360 --> 00:53:00,680
Speaker 4: the leaks aren't all that reliable, I don't think is.

1139
00:53:00,680 --> 00:53:03,160
Speaker 4: It's like no one really knows for sure, and I

1140
00:53:03,160 --> 00:53:04,360
Speaker 4: think that's the way they like it. There was some

1141
00:53:04,440 --> 00:53:06,160
Speaker 4: leaked footage of him shooting the other day, but he

1142
00:53:06,239 --> 00:53:09,120
Speaker 4: was sort of basically just stand still shooting. He wasn't

1143
00:53:09,120 --> 00:53:11,640
Speaker 4: moving around, he wasn't catching off, you know, fake screens

1144
00:53:11,719 --> 00:53:13,120
Speaker 4: or shooting over a chair, and I think he was

1145
00:53:13,160 --> 00:53:16,040
Speaker 4: just like basically just standing still. So I don't know

1146
00:53:16,040 --> 00:53:17,840
Speaker 4: what that means, to be honest. Does that mean? Is

1147
00:53:17,880 --> 00:53:19,520
Speaker 4: that a good sign or a bad sign? I have

1148
00:53:19,600 --> 00:53:20,120
Speaker 4: no idea.

1149
00:53:20,440 --> 00:53:22,759
Speaker 3: It means Ben Simmons is coming back, that's what it means.

1150
00:53:23,600 --> 00:53:25,040
Speaker 2: Nice, Yeah, isn't he practicing?

1151
00:53:25,080 --> 00:53:25,239
Speaker 1: Now?

1152
00:53:25,360 --> 00:53:26,480
Speaker 2: What's he doing? Four on four?

1153
00:53:29,040 --> 00:53:29,680
Speaker 1: Four on four?

1154
00:53:30,040 --> 00:53:34,960
Speaker 2: I think pretty soon. I'm telling you He's not back tonight,

1155
00:53:35,040 --> 00:53:37,799
Speaker 2: of course, but I'll be back in in Brooklyn there

1156
00:53:37,800 --> 00:53:39,840
Speaker 2: for one of those games coming up. Very very excited

1157
00:53:39,840 --> 00:53:44,680
Speaker 2: though for tonight's Celtics Nets Game two. I mean, there's

1158
00:53:44,680 --> 00:53:46,080
Speaker 2: just no way it could live up to the hype

1159
00:53:46,080 --> 00:53:51,000
Speaker 2: of game one, right right with the Kyrie drama and

1160
00:53:51,040 --> 00:53:52,280
Speaker 2: then the game winner.

1161
00:53:53,360 --> 00:53:59,120
Speaker 4: Way maybe just before though, you asked, you know how

1162
00:53:59,120 --> 00:54:00,719
Speaker 4: many times we were going to say Jimmy's name. Well,

1163
00:54:00,719 --> 00:54:03,360
Speaker 4: the stream team is keeping track feedboil, he says the

1164
00:54:03,440 --> 00:54:08,000
Speaker 4: Jimmy Bright countdown task fifteen times. Well, yeah, speaks to

1165
00:54:08,320 --> 00:54:10,560
Speaker 4: me five and try five for a title of twenty

1166
00:54:10,560 --> 00:54:11,920
Speaker 4: seven Jimmy's we had.

1167
00:54:12,200 --> 00:54:15,200
Speaker 2: I just remember when we talked about Butler, like this

1168
00:54:15,280 --> 00:54:17,120
Speaker 2: regular season, there was a show and I just remember

1169
00:54:17,200 --> 00:54:20,200
Speaker 2: tasking the span of like it felt like thirty seconds,

1170
00:54:20,200 --> 00:54:23,239
Speaker 2: said Jimmy like twenty times. And that's why I that's

1171
00:54:23,280 --> 00:54:25,000
Speaker 2: why I was excited to see, what's a fun name

1172
00:54:25,080 --> 00:54:29,600
Speaker 2: to say? It is? It's a good name. Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy. Okay,

1173
00:54:29,640 --> 00:54:32,840
Speaker 2: thanks for keeping track everybody. We're gonna take our final break,

1174
00:54:33,239 --> 00:54:35,120
Speaker 2: pay the bills here when we come back, tweet the night,

1175
00:54:35,160 --> 00:54:38,160
Speaker 2: and we'll look ahead to the three game. Well, I

1176
00:54:38,200 --> 00:54:40,080
Speaker 2: was gonna say game twos two, game twos and one

1177
00:54:40,120 --> 00:54:42,080
Speaker 2: game three up there in Toronto, So don't go anywhere,

1178
00:54:43,560 --> 00:54:46,600
Speaker 2: all right back with no dunks. We'll get to tonight's

1179
00:54:46,800 --> 00:54:49,440
Speaker 2: three games. But before that we got tweeted the night.

1180
00:54:51,520 --> 00:54:52,600
Speaker 3: Tweet out the night.

1181
00:54:53,320 --> 00:55:03,239
Speaker 5: Wow, I am the tweet man on this fine day,

1182
00:55:04,200 --> 00:55:06,560
Speaker 5: great night on Twitter, last night, great night of basketball.

1183
00:55:06,600 --> 00:55:10,720
Speaker 1: I've had to undergo some changes in the rundown today.

1184
00:55:10,800 --> 00:55:13,560
Speaker 1: Had a lot of baby dap content loaded up earlier,

1185
00:55:13,600 --> 00:55:15,880
Speaker 1: but it was impossible. There was no way we were

1186
00:55:15,920 --> 00:55:18,000
Speaker 1: going to talk about the Sun's game and skip over

1187
00:55:18,040 --> 00:55:20,920
Speaker 1: a guy dapping up a baby. So we're going we're

1188
00:55:20,920 --> 00:55:24,080
Speaker 1: going to quite honestly the third choice here. But our

1189
00:55:24,120 --> 00:55:27,120
Speaker 1: third tweet of the night, it's from Tim Reynolds. It's

1190
00:55:27,120 --> 00:55:30,120
Speaker 1: a Jimmy Butler quote. Add it to the tally. I'm

1191
00:55:30,160 --> 00:55:32,920
Speaker 1: a huge fan of the Backstreet Boys, Jimmy Butler presented

1192
00:55:33,040 --> 00:55:35,560
Speaker 1: without context. He mentioned he was listening to the Backstreet

1193
00:55:35,600 --> 00:55:38,480
Speaker 1: Boys before the game last night he'd put up forty

1194
00:55:38,520 --> 00:55:41,919
Speaker 1: five points. I guess he wants it that way. There's

1195
00:55:41,920 --> 00:55:45,560
Speaker 1: also this commercial of Jimmy. I guess it's a nickelob

1196
00:55:45,640 --> 00:55:49,239
Speaker 1: Ultra commercial where he's singing Hoody in the Blowfish only

1197
00:55:49,280 --> 00:55:52,480
Speaker 1: want to be with you personally. I Go Blind as

1198
00:55:52,520 --> 00:55:55,919
Speaker 1: my favorite hoodie song. But you know, Jimmy Butler loves

1199
00:55:55,960 --> 00:55:59,520
Speaker 1: to talk about his musical preferences because nobody else in

1200
00:55:59,560 --> 00:56:02,440
Speaker 1: the NBA has the same musical preferences as Jimmy Butler.

1201
00:56:03,920 --> 00:56:07,720
Speaker 1: It's a pre game before an NBA Playoffs game. Would

1202
00:56:07,719 --> 00:56:10,680
Speaker 1: you be mad if Backstreet Boys was on the radio

1203
00:56:11,040 --> 00:56:15,280
Speaker 1: in the locker room? Would you say something to Jimmy Butler?

1204
00:56:16,280 --> 00:56:19,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I assume he's playing all the hits Backstreet's back.

1205
00:56:19,200 --> 00:56:20,839
Speaker 2: Probably I want it that way.

1206
00:56:21,840 --> 00:56:25,040
Speaker 1: There are other hits, there.

1207
00:56:24,920 --> 00:56:26,759
Speaker 3: Are other hits that sound like they're other hits. I'm

1208
00:56:26,760 --> 00:56:30,200
Speaker 3: good with it, love it, play it, Jimmy rock out.

1209
00:56:30,600 --> 00:56:33,160
Speaker 2: I I thought, for a second Jimmy Butler was confused

1210
00:56:33,160 --> 00:56:39,239
Speaker 2: and thought David Beckham was in the backst just you know,

1211
00:56:39,360 --> 00:56:42,680
Speaker 2: the whole is married to a spice girl and sort

1212
00:56:42,680 --> 00:56:45,640
Speaker 2: of a girl band boy. But no, I mean yeah,

1213
00:56:45,719 --> 00:56:47,960
Speaker 2: I think they don't have a lot of bangers for

1214
00:56:48,040 --> 00:56:49,399
Speaker 2: being honest, like.

1215
00:56:49,880 --> 00:56:53,120
Speaker 1: As long as you love me, like I don't care

1216
00:56:53,120 --> 00:56:53,680
Speaker 1: who you are.

1217
00:56:54,239 --> 00:56:56,840
Speaker 2: It's not it's really a chill vibe to get ready

1218
00:56:56,840 --> 00:56:59,759
Speaker 2: for a tough game before being honest but okay, hey,

1219
00:56:59,760 --> 00:57:03,080
Speaker 2: we're for him. Maybe that I'd rather hear Hoodie to

1220
00:57:03,120 --> 00:57:03,640
Speaker 2: get me going.

1221
00:57:03,840 --> 00:57:07,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely. There's like five great Hoodie bangers, and most

1222
00:57:07,400 --> 00:57:10,600
Speaker 1: of them are up tempo. Letter Cry would probably bring

1223
00:57:10,600 --> 00:57:14,560
Speaker 1: you down a little bit too much, but skeets for me.

1224
00:57:14,719 --> 00:57:17,840
Speaker 1: If I'm pre gaming for an NBA playoff game, I'm

1225
00:57:17,840 --> 00:57:22,240
Speaker 1: turning on Pretty Ricky's Late Night special. Watched it during

1226
00:57:22,280 --> 00:57:28,440
Speaker 1: the break skates who's your favorite guy? Relentless, Exit two C,

1227
00:57:28,800 --> 00:57:32,960
Speaker 1: pipe Layer or Satisfaction. They've all got moves I got

1228
00:57:33,280 --> 00:57:36,480
Speaker 1: when I watched it. If they had the nicknames, I

1229
00:57:36,480 --> 00:57:38,720
Speaker 1: don't know. Man, this is the.

1230
00:57:38,480 --> 00:57:41,120
Speaker 2: They're like a boy band, really right. They'll play their part,

1231
00:57:41,280 --> 00:57:45,760
Speaker 2: they'll help their corner of the automan equally. I guess

1232
00:57:45,840 --> 00:57:47,480
Speaker 2: pipe Player give me Oh yeah.

1233
00:57:47,520 --> 00:57:49,480
Speaker 1: Pipe Player is a big fan. Everybody's a big fan

1234
00:57:49,520 --> 00:57:52,600
Speaker 1: of pipe Player. People are saying he's gonna go solo

1235
00:57:52,680 --> 00:57:54,640
Speaker 1: at some point, so we shall see.

1236
00:57:54,920 --> 00:57:57,480
Speaker 2: I swear that was one of the first YouTube videos. Man,

1237
00:57:57,960 --> 00:58:01,400
Speaker 2: I'm convinced it was not the four. I mean, it's

1238
00:58:01,400 --> 00:58:03,880
Speaker 2: two thousand and seven. I like to imagine that they're like,

1239
00:58:04,240 --> 00:58:07,000
Speaker 2: finally we have somewhere to put this video and nowhere

1240
00:58:07,040 --> 00:58:11,440
Speaker 2: to share it up until then. Oh pretty Ricky and

1241
00:58:11,480 --> 00:58:14,280
Speaker 2: the late it's special. Seek it out. Just be careful

1242
00:58:14,320 --> 00:58:17,520
Speaker 2: where you're watching it. I guess Okay, good tweets there

1243
00:58:17,840 --> 00:58:22,160
Speaker 2: wait to call an audible Game two Slash three Predictions night.

1244
00:58:22,200 --> 00:58:24,560
Speaker 2: We got NET Celtics Game two. Boston leads that series,

1245
00:58:24,600 --> 00:58:27,120
Speaker 2: of course after the Tatum game winner. They're on Sunday,

1246
00:58:27,360 --> 00:58:32,240
Speaker 2: seven o'clock start. Oh, thank you, eight o'clock up in Toronto.

1247
00:58:32,680 --> 00:58:35,760
Speaker 2: Six ers up to zero on the wraps. This, uh, well,

1248
00:58:35,800 --> 00:58:37,760
Speaker 2: this is the series. Raptors have to win this one

1249
00:58:37,880 --> 00:58:40,960
Speaker 2: or it's a done deal. And we got the bulls box.

1250
00:58:41,160 --> 00:58:44,280
Speaker 2: Tray Kirby excited for this nine to thirty start there

1251
00:58:44,280 --> 00:58:47,800
Speaker 2: on TNT. So yeah, who wants to get us started

1252
00:58:47,840 --> 00:58:51,280
Speaker 2: on this task? Thoughts on any of these games something

1253
00:58:51,320 --> 00:58:52,439
Speaker 2: to watch for? What are you thinking?

1254
00:58:52,560 --> 00:58:56,320
Speaker 3: Well, of course I'm pumped for Nets Celtics. I think

1255
00:58:56,360 --> 00:58:59,200
Speaker 3: Kevin Durant turns it around after having a six turnover

1256
00:58:59,280 --> 00:59:03,640
Speaker 3: game at the Great Players. We'll just figure it out. Obviously,

1257
00:59:03,640 --> 00:59:05,800
Speaker 3: the Celtics were incredible in the way they were face

1258
00:59:05,840 --> 00:59:09,480
Speaker 3: guarding him and really really making it hard for him

1259
00:59:09,520 --> 00:59:12,480
Speaker 3: to get the ball to do anything as Grant Williams said,

1260
00:59:12,960 --> 00:59:14,720
Speaker 3: he told the athletic we have to do a phenomenal

1261
00:59:14,800 --> 00:59:17,880
Speaker 3: job of staying into him because everything has to be tough,

1262
00:59:18,040 --> 00:59:19,880
Speaker 3: not just him walking up and down the court, but

1263
00:59:20,040 --> 00:59:22,640
Speaker 3: him trying to get a cup of water on the sideline.

1264
00:59:22,960 --> 00:59:25,160
Speaker 3: And yeah, it was fun. It was like you know

1265
00:59:25,280 --> 00:59:29,160
Speaker 3: Dirk back in the day, a lot of physical, physical

1266
00:59:29,200 --> 00:59:31,720
Speaker 3: play and the same has happened with Durant in the playoffs.

1267
00:59:31,720 --> 00:59:34,440
Speaker 3: He's had a little Patrick Beverley get into him. But

1268
00:59:34,480 --> 00:59:36,800
Speaker 3: the Celtics were doing such a good job of keeping

1269
00:59:36,840 --> 00:59:41,560
Speaker 3: their hands back and that brings me to Toronto. Let's

1270
00:59:41,640 --> 00:59:45,360
Speaker 3: do that with Joel Embiid up or back and you know,

1271
00:59:45,400 --> 00:59:48,160
Speaker 3: going through the footage one more time and Raptors fans

1272
00:59:48,200 --> 00:59:50,720
Speaker 3: being extremely angry about Joel Embiid going to the line

1273
00:59:50,720 --> 00:59:53,680
Speaker 3: fourteen times. There were a couple in there that shouldn't

1274
00:59:53,680 --> 00:59:56,919
Speaker 3: have been called. That's definitely true, but that's not where

1275
00:59:56,920 --> 01:00:00,080
Speaker 3: they lost the game. They lost the game because they

1276
01:00:00,080 --> 01:00:02,840
Speaker 3: are banged up and even their guys who are healthy

1277
01:00:02,880 --> 01:00:05,280
Speaker 3: and Fred van Vliet banged up, and I think that's

1278
01:00:05,680 --> 01:00:09,720
Speaker 3: a big part of it. So let's use that excuse

1279
01:00:09,760 --> 01:00:11,640
Speaker 3: for why they're going to be a little sluggish on

1280
01:00:11,680 --> 01:00:14,360
Speaker 3: defense against I mean that that's where they lost the game.

1281
01:00:14,400 --> 01:00:17,080
Speaker 3: They were sluggish on the defensive end. They're not healthy enough.

1282
01:00:17,120 --> 01:00:20,440
Speaker 3: With Barnes out again, Gary Trent unlikely to play.

1283
01:00:21,680 --> 01:00:24,480
Speaker 2: No, no, we've got an update on that. Actually, Gary

1284
01:00:24,520 --> 01:00:28,000
Speaker 2: Trent Junior is gonna play tonight. They're gonna do that

1285
01:00:28,080 --> 01:00:30,120
Speaker 2: they did in game two and give it a go

1286
01:00:30,320 --> 01:00:32,560
Speaker 2: and have him start and see if how he does

1287
01:00:32,600 --> 01:00:35,800
Speaker 2: there with his illness. That's the word from Michael Grange,

1288
01:00:35,880 --> 01:00:38,640
Speaker 2: like you know, nearly minutes ago, and that Thad Young

1289
01:00:38,760 --> 01:00:41,320
Speaker 2: is improved. He's gonna play with the thumb injury. Scotty

1290
01:00:41,360 --> 01:00:43,560
Speaker 2: Barnes is in a walking or excuse me, is out

1291
01:00:43,560 --> 01:00:46,960
Speaker 2: of the walking boot. And he was asked, they asked

1292
01:00:47,040 --> 01:00:49,880
Speaker 2: Nick Nurse, will he play tonight and he said maybe.

1293
01:00:49,960 --> 01:00:53,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's not playing. I don't yeah, bad Young, but anyway, sorry,

1294
01:00:53,600 --> 01:00:57,080
Speaker 3: Bad Young's injury has to not only improve, he has

1295
01:00:57,160 --> 01:00:59,200
Speaker 3: to improve. I mean, I thought that just the depth

1296
01:00:59,280 --> 01:01:02,520
Speaker 3: is the part the thing that the Raptors had going

1297
01:01:02,520 --> 01:01:05,240
Speaker 3: for them. It hurts with Barnes out, Gary Trent not

1298
01:01:05,320 --> 01:01:07,440
Speaker 3: being himself and Fred van Vliet not being himself, and

1299
01:01:07,480 --> 01:01:09,720
Speaker 3: that's the excuse. So what does Pascal Siakam have to do.

1300
01:01:09,760 --> 01:01:12,160
Speaker 3: I think he has to lead by example and he

1301
01:01:12,200 --> 01:01:14,440
Speaker 3: has to be the one who plays those Fred van

1302
01:01:14,520 --> 01:01:17,240
Speaker 3: Vliet level minutes. I mean Fred played thirty straight minutes

1303
01:01:17,240 --> 01:01:20,160
Speaker 3: to start this game. And I think Fred's Fred just

1304
01:01:20,280 --> 01:01:22,360
Speaker 3: wasn't healthy to end the game or end the season.

1305
01:01:22,360 --> 01:01:24,880
Speaker 3: And maybe they thought, you know, him going to the

1306
01:01:24,880 --> 01:01:30,320
Speaker 3: bench would stiffen his knee up. But obviously, going five

1307
01:01:30,360 --> 01:01:32,000
Speaker 3: from nine in the first quarter to one for nine

1308
01:01:32,040 --> 01:01:34,880
Speaker 3: the second quarter, the depth is a problem. Anyway, I'm

1309
01:01:34,920 --> 01:01:38,360
Speaker 3: not very very pumped about that. It's on Pascal's shoulders.

1310
01:01:38,360 --> 01:01:40,880
Speaker 3: I think to lead and in the other game, I

1311
01:01:40,920 --> 01:01:43,800
Speaker 3: think the Bucks won't allow as many open shots as

1312
01:01:43,840 --> 01:01:47,080
Speaker 3: they did in Game one. They improved sometimes their game

1313
01:01:47,120 --> 01:01:49,800
Speaker 3: ones are not going to see last year's postseason they

1314
01:01:49,800 --> 01:01:52,000
Speaker 3: turned it over twenty one times. I think there'll be

1315
01:01:52,080 --> 01:01:56,120
Speaker 3: a much better team and that bodes pretty poorly for doubles.

1316
01:01:57,080 --> 01:02:00,200
Speaker 2: What do you think, Trey of your Bulls Bucks GEME two?

1317
01:02:00,240 --> 01:02:01,920
Speaker 2: There are any of these games tonight? What are you watching?

1318
01:02:02,160 --> 01:02:05,320
Speaker 1: Yeah? The Bucks are just bad in game ones in general.

1319
01:02:05,360 --> 01:02:07,400
Speaker 1: I think they've lost like five of their last six

1320
01:02:07,480 --> 01:02:09,240
Speaker 1: and the one win that they had was a Chris

1321
01:02:09,240 --> 01:02:12,640
Speaker 1: Middleton buzzer beater. So to beat the Bucks, you want

1322
01:02:12,680 --> 01:02:15,080
Speaker 1: to do it in game one. So bummer that the

1323
01:02:15,080 --> 01:02:17,120
Speaker 1: Bulls didn't pull that one out. I'm interested to see

1324
01:02:17,280 --> 01:02:20,720
Speaker 1: if anything actually carries over from game one because Giannis

1325
01:02:20,720 --> 01:02:23,080
Speaker 1: was great in transition. He really destroyed the Balls when

1326
01:02:23,080 --> 01:02:24,640
Speaker 1: he had a chance to run, but they did a

1327
01:02:24,720 --> 01:02:27,360
Speaker 1: fairly solid job of just getting in his way and

1328
01:02:27,360 --> 01:02:30,360
Speaker 1: making them see bodies a lot in the half court. First,

1329
01:02:30,480 --> 01:02:33,400
Speaker 1: a ton of turnovers twenty one turnovers for Milwaukee in

1330
01:02:33,480 --> 01:02:35,680
Speaker 1: game one. Those are a couple areas where I assume

1331
01:02:36,520 --> 01:02:38,240
Speaker 1: the Bucks will want to clean things up. And then

1332
01:02:38,280 --> 01:02:40,880
Speaker 1: on the on the Bulls side, Demarto Rosen said, you're

1333
01:02:40,880 --> 01:02:42,680
Speaker 1: not going to see that poor of a shooting game

1334
01:02:42,720 --> 01:02:46,000
Speaker 1: from me, Zach, Lavine and Vouch. They were brutal in

1335
01:02:46,080 --> 01:02:48,440
Speaker 1: game one. If any of the three of them shoots

1336
01:02:48,440 --> 01:02:50,480
Speaker 1: a nice percentage, the Balls maybe pull that one out.

1337
01:02:50,600 --> 01:02:53,240
Speaker 1: So I assume that one of the three of those

1338
01:02:53,520 --> 01:02:55,720
Speaker 1: three will have a better game in game two, but

1339
01:02:55,800 --> 01:02:57,520
Speaker 1: I don't know if it will be enough, because, like

1340
01:02:57,560 --> 01:02:59,680
Speaker 1: tass is saying, the Bucks just tend to get better

1341
01:02:59,720 --> 01:03:02,560
Speaker 1: as the series goes on, so that'll be interesting. The

1342
01:03:02,560 --> 01:03:05,280
Speaker 1: other thing I'm interested to see is Tass you mentioned

1343
01:03:06,840 --> 01:03:11,480
Speaker 1: yesterday that the Raptors are like helping too much on

1344
01:03:11,600 --> 01:03:14,560
Speaker 1: James Harden. They need to make James Harden into a score,

1345
01:03:14,720 --> 01:03:16,600
Speaker 1: have him try and finish over some of those taller

1346
01:03:16,840 --> 01:03:19,040
Speaker 1: defenders who have been guarding him because they are just

1347
01:03:19,120 --> 01:03:21,960
Speaker 1: helping off him in bad places. Like they'll help off

1348
01:03:21,960 --> 01:03:23,880
Speaker 1: of him on the strong side corner, get a wide

1349
01:03:23,920 --> 01:03:26,360
Speaker 1: open three for a Danny Green, or they'll all be

1350
01:03:26,440 --> 01:03:29,040
Speaker 1: flocking to Harden and then suddenly Tyrese Maxi has an

1351
01:03:29,040 --> 01:03:31,320
Speaker 1: easy drive to the hoop. I wonder if there's some

1352
01:03:31,360 --> 01:03:34,120
Speaker 1: sort of change up. Maybe maybe the Raptors just try

1353
01:03:34,120 --> 01:03:36,400
Speaker 1: and play things a little bit more straightforward here, less

1354
01:03:36,480 --> 01:03:40,760
Speaker 1: rotations and less manic running around and just try and

1355
01:03:40,880 --> 01:03:43,240
Speaker 1: you know, make Harden be a scorer once again. He

1356
01:03:43,240 --> 01:03:45,160
Speaker 1: hasn't been great at it so far, so we shall see.

1357
01:03:45,760 --> 01:03:47,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, might be the game play. I mean, look, you

1358
01:03:47,520 --> 01:03:49,360
Speaker 2: know Nurse is gonna throw something at the wall.

1359
01:03:50,080 --> 01:03:50,240
Speaker 1: Lee.

1360
01:03:50,960 --> 01:03:53,280
Speaker 2: Be it going back to like more normal man up

1361
01:03:53,320 --> 01:03:55,120
Speaker 2: basketball and give that a go and not helping it

1362
01:03:55,200 --> 01:03:57,360
Speaker 2: hard as much or something even we have never even

1363
01:03:57,400 --> 01:04:00,400
Speaker 2: seen before. He's going to you throw everything at this

1364
01:04:00,480 --> 01:04:02,600
Speaker 2: game because your season, the series is on the line

1365
01:04:02,600 --> 01:04:05,600
Speaker 2: here in game three. It's the only pivotal game on tonight. Yes,

1366
01:04:05,640 --> 01:04:08,520
Speaker 2: we've reached a pivotal game, pivotal for the Raptors at least,

1367
01:04:08,520 --> 01:04:11,240
Speaker 2: not not the Sixers as much. But what are your

1368
01:04:11,240 --> 01:04:12,720
Speaker 2: final thoughts on tonight's games herely?

1369
01:04:12,840 --> 01:04:15,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, I just hope the Raptors can put together a

1370
01:04:15,600 --> 01:04:17,680
Speaker 4: better game more than just sort of twelve to twenty

1371
01:04:17,720 --> 01:04:20,400
Speaker 4: four minutes. I hope they can play forty five minutes

1372
01:04:20,400 --> 01:04:22,360
Speaker 4: and maybe give themselves a chance, because it will be

1373
01:04:22,440 --> 01:04:24,600
Speaker 4: kind of deflating if they do go down three. You

1374
01:04:24,600 --> 01:04:26,840
Speaker 4: want to see him at least make a series of it.

1375
01:04:26,880 --> 01:04:29,040
Speaker 4: Maybe get skitzy on the plane home over the weekend.

1376
01:04:29,040 --> 01:04:30,680
Speaker 4: You know, he wants to go and watch a game, but.
