Speaker 1: in shockingly similar fashion to what he did in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty two on the road in Phoenix and game seven
Speaker 1: of the second round series of the Western Conference Playoffs.
Speaker 1: He rolls up into Minnesota tonight and just from the
Speaker 1: opening tip, is super aggressive, goes at Minnesota's throat, snatches
Speaker 1: their soul. Minnesota loses composure, the game completely goes off
Speaker 1: the rails in the first half, and Dallas is now
Speaker 1: advancing to the NBA Finals. We're gonna break down that
Speaker 1: highly interesting game from the perspective of both teams, get
Speaker 1: a little bit into Minnesota's offseason, a little bit into
Speaker 1: a little tiny preview of the NBA Finals. We're not
Speaker 1: gonna get too deep into it tonight, but we're gonna
Speaker 1: get into the future for both teams, and then we'll

Speaker 1: All right, let's talk some basketball. So one of my
Speaker 1: favorite things about the game of basketball is there's an
Speaker 1: inherent unpredictability to it. That statement that I always use
Speaker 1: that I stole from Mark Titus, right, like basketball is
Speaker 1: more art than science. I've been waiting for someone to
Speaker 1: articulate the way I feel about it for a long time,
Speaker 1: and Mark did it so well. And what that means
Speaker 1: to me is like, no matter how hard you try,
Speaker 1: you can't solve the game of basketball. There's no way
Speaker 1: to like parse it down to a number to add predictability,
Speaker 1: or to make decision making easy for front offices or
Speaker 1: for coaching stabs or anything along those lines. Right, there's
Speaker 1: an inherent kind of like unsolvability to the game. Right.
Speaker 1: I'm not against people trying to. I think you should
Speaker 1: if you're not, If you're not trying to solve the
Speaker 1: game by employing the smartest analytical professionals, the analytics professionals
Speaker 1: that exist in the world. If you're not trying, then
Speaker 1: you're wasting a competitive advantage. You should be trying, but
Speaker 1: it's a hopeless task at the end of the day
Speaker 1: in terms of actually perfecting that. And the reason why is,
Speaker 1: how do you account for what Luka Doncic did tonight?
Speaker 1: How do you account for the fact that he walked
Speaker 1: into Minnesota and snatched their soul and then Minnesota just
Speaker 1: completely decomposed and forgot how to play basketball. I talk
Speaker 1: about belief being a very important thing in basketball. What
Speaker 1: that means to me is it's hard to play defense
Speaker 1: at a championship level. To chase over the top of screens,
Speaker 1: to apply back pressure, to tag the roller and recover out,
Speaker 1: to get a body on someone on a box out.
Speaker 1: There's a level of commitment that is really difficult to
Speaker 1: get to to at a championship level. That's why so
Speaker 1: few teams do it every single year, right and in
Speaker 1: order to push yourself in that way, to really exert
Speaker 1: yourself when there's nothing left in the tank. You have
Speaker 1: to believe that you can get to the Larry O'Brien Trophy.
Speaker 1: And then when a team loses belief, all those little
Speaker 1: extra efforts, all that little bit of physicality and fight
Speaker 1: that's there, when they can see the trophy and believe
Speaker 1: in their ability to get there, that goes out the window.
Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden, you're not making those
Speaker 1: extra efforts, you're not focusing, and you're not as disciplined,
Speaker 1: and you're not paying as much attention to the detail
Speaker 1: as you typically do, and things can go off the rails.
Speaker 1: What happens tonight is Luca went into that arena and
Speaker 1: from the opening tip tried to sap the Minnesota Timberwolves
Speaker 1: of their belief that they could win that game, let
Speaker 1: alone that series. Right, Like, I had this game as
Speaker 1: more or less a coin flip. I think I had
Speaker 1: a fifty five to forty five that Dallas would win.
Speaker 1: But Game six was the tough one, right, is the
Speaker 1: one that you're like, you really don't think Minnesota can
Speaker 1: go in there and get it done right, especially in
Speaker 1: a desperate type of environment for Dallas. But Luca snatched
Speaker 1: them of their belief tonight on their home floor, like
Speaker 1: what just happened in the last series when we saw
Speaker 1: a similar type of sequence of events, like Minnesota goes
Speaker 1: home in game six and just as a buzz sad
Speaker 1: just runs through Denver, what were they up like forty five?
Speaker 1: At one point, that was what Minnesota looked like at
Speaker 1: home facing elimination last time, and Luca did not allow
Speaker 1: that to happen. I thought it was abundantly clear from
Speaker 1: the opening tip. The first play of the game was
Speaker 1: a little backscreen set designed to get Luka Doncic switched
Speaker 1: on to Mike Conley in the post. It was a
Speaker 1: play designed to get Luca to shoot. He immediately got
Speaker 1: the switch, took Conley down to the block, a little
Speaker 1: pound dribble into the lane, went to a left shoulder hook,
Speaker 1: and Gobert goaltended it. Very next possession, he took a
Speaker 1: catch and shoot thirty foot three and hit it in
Speaker 1: Anthony Edwards's face. Thirty foot catch and shoot three. That's
Speaker 1: not a good shot. That's a I'm trying to snatch
Speaker 1: your soul shot, and he made it. Two possessions later,
Speaker 1: another step back thirty footer and a ball screen against
Speaker 1: Anthony Edwards two possessions later, straight iso of Jaden McDaniels
Speaker 1: hits a step back eighteen footer going to his right.
Speaker 1: He went at their throats early to make sure they
Speaker 1: knew that they couldn't win this game. He had twenty
Speaker 1: of their first thirty points. He single handedly outscored the
Speaker 1: Timberwolves in the first quarter. It was a completely transparent
Speaker 1: effort to sap his opponent of belief, and it worked.
Speaker 1: The Wolves had nine turnovers in the first half. They
Speaker 1: shot thirty four percent from the field. They were two
Speaker 1: for twelve from three. Everyone looked shook. That's what he does,
Speaker 1: and it's a two way impact because at the same time,
Speaker 1: it infuses your own team with belief. All of a
Speaker 1: sudden PJ. Washington, Daniel Gafford, Darre Jones Jr. All these
Speaker 1: guys go, We're getting this done tonight. Stay locked in.
Speaker 1: We're getting this done. There was a play where in
Speaker 1: the first quar stretch where where Luca hit a bucket
Speaker 1: and the camera zooms in on Luca talking to Gafford
Speaker 1: on the other end of the floor. It was the
Speaker 1: pass where Luca tried to throw the lob to Gafford
Speaker 1: and Gafford missed it and went off the glass, but
Speaker 1: it somehow ended up in Gafferd's hands and he dunked it.
Speaker 1: On that play, the camera catches Luca. He's in Gafford's ears.
Speaker 1: Gafford's laughing about what happened, and Luca goes, let's get
Speaker 1: a stop because Luke is keeping it's It's a two
Speaker 1: way effect. He is destroying the entire confidence and belief
Speaker 1: of the Minnesota Timberwolves while infusing his team with an
Speaker 1: unwavering faith that they're going to get it done. And
Speaker 1: that just manifested everything for his team, all the role
Speaker 1: players playing with confidence. They shoot sixty percent from the
Speaker 1: field and sixty from three in the first half, and
Speaker 1: it turned into a route before before we even went
Speaker 1: to the locker rooms. I just want to tip the
Speaker 1: cap to Luka Doncic because after Jokic got eliminated in
Speaker 1: rather disappointing fashion in the last round, he showed some
Speaker 1: decline both as a jump shooter and as a defensive player.
Speaker 1: That best Player in the World title was just sitting
Speaker 1: there to be grabbed, and Luca is grabbing that title
Speaker 1: and leaving absolutely no doubt. He took the defense that
Speaker 1: shut down the Denver Nuggets and completely eviscerated it. If
Speaker 1: he can go into Boston and outplay Tatum to this
Speaker 1: type of extent, we're talking about a pretty special playoff
Speaker 1: run here. I'm very, very excited to watch Luka Doncic
Speaker 1: on that NBA Final stage, and I think it's gonna
Speaker 1: be an interesting challenge that the next layer of this, right,
Speaker 1: Like remember those quotes from Lebron James, who the playoff
Speaker 1: run last year, as he was trying to help his
Speaker 1: young team get through, He's like, it always gets harder,
Speaker 1: no matter what. It just it just gets harder the
Speaker 1: next round, no matter what you think it's gonna be, like,
Speaker 1: it just gets harder, and Boston's gonna be harder. Boston
Speaker 1: has more talent on both ends of the floor than
Speaker 1: Dallas does. But Luca's the best player in the series,
Speaker 1: and he has the biggest advantage for either team in
Speaker 1: the half court, and so I think he's going to
Speaker 1: need to have a similar impact on Boston that he
Speaker 1: had on Minnesota tonight. This is a Boston team that
Speaker 1: can get discombobulated from time to time and play really
Speaker 1: bad basketball for stretches. If Luca can dominate the game,
Speaker 1: especially mentally, to the point where Boston kind of loses composure.
Speaker 1: That's their best pathway, and he's gonna have the advantages
Speaker 1: to do it. He has similar size advantages against Boston's
Speaker 1: perimeter defenders, basically everybody but Tatum. He has similar size
Speaker 1: advantages that he had against Jaden McDaniels. Drew Holidays a big,
Speaker 1: strong guard, but he's not quite as big and strong
Speaker 1: as lou Dort. It was big and strong enough to
Speaker 1: cause Lucas some issues, right. I barely started digging into
Speaker 1: some film earlier this week, and I was watching the
Speaker 1: game that Dallas played in Boston, and the very first
Speaker 1: play of the game, Jalen Brown's guarding Luca simple guard
Speaker 1: guard screen to get Drew Holliday switched on to Luca.
Speaker 1: Luca goes into a screen Drew Holiday's trailing. The play
Speaker 1: kind of gets onto Luca's side, into that like sidecar
Speaker 1: jail that I keep talking about, right, and he just
Speaker 1: meanders into the lane baits poorzingis into recovering back, and
Speaker 1: he just shoots a little easy floater over the top
Speaker 1: of Drew Holiday into the basket. That's the type of
Speaker 1: advantage that he's going to continue to have going into
Speaker 1: the next round, and he's going to need to continue
Speaker 1: to exploit that he is the guy that can flip
Speaker 1: the script and get PJ. Washington and get all these
Speaker 1: guys to play confidently. Kyrie can meet his level and
Speaker 1: try to get Boston to kind of to lose that belief.
Speaker 1: I'm super excited for that challenge. You know again, like,
Speaker 1: if you can pull that off, that starts to make
Speaker 1: this look like because he struggled in the first couple
Speaker 1: of rounds, but obviously he was dealing with the knee injury.
Speaker 1: Doing what he did to this Minnesota team. If he
Speaker 1: can somehow continue that and beat Boston, that's a pretty
Speaker 1: special playoff run in NBA history. I want to shout
Speaker 1: out Kyrie Irving. He met Luca's level tonight. There was
Speaker 1: a level of there was a level of difficult shot
Speaker 1: making that he hit against Nikhil Alexander Walker on those
Speaker 1: like short pull up jumpers, that crazy floating finish he
Speaker 1: had over Rudy Gobert, like he added to the assault
Speaker 1: on the confidence of the Minnesota Timberwolves by him meeting
Speaker 1: Luca's level tonight. I thought he was incredible. A little
Speaker 1: bit of a preview for you guys on the schedule
Speaker 1: for our Finals preview stuff. So again, I'm gonna be
Speaker 1: doing a mail bag tomorrow. The whole thing will air tomorrow,
Speaker 1: will run breakouts on Saturday and Sunday. Monday morning, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna focus on just one end of the floor. It'll
Speaker 1: either be Boston on offense or Dallas on offense. Tuesday
Speaker 1: morning is gonna be an entirely separate video focusing on
Speaker 1: the other end of the floor. So we're gonna go
Speaker 1: really deep with film sessions on both teams on either
Speaker 1: end of the floor Monday Tuesday. We have the Nerd
Speaker 1: Sessh guys coming on Wednesday morning, and then I have
Speaker 1: Sam Vessini from the Athletic coming on Wednesday afternoon. So
Speaker 1: we're gonna have just a ton of Finals preview content
Speaker 1: coming out over the course of the beginning of next week.
Speaker 1: Looking forward to getting into it. Before we move on
Speaker 1: for the night, I want to talk a little bit
Speaker 1: about the Minnesota Timberwolves, and I don't want to get
Speaker 1: too deep into all the different ramifications, but I just
Speaker 1: want to talk about the one thing that stood out
Speaker 1: to me in this series. I've been pretty optimistic about
Speaker 1: the Rudy Gobert build. Right, You guys have been listening
Speaker 1: to the show for a while, know what I'm talking
Speaker 1: about here, Like Anthony Edwards, Jada McDaniels, Rudy Gobert. The
Speaker 1: concept of elite rim protection and elite perimeter defense is
Speaker 1: very exciting to me. You guys are seeing a version
Speaker 1: of that with the Dallas Mavericks right now with dearre
Speaker 1: Jones Junior at the point and Lively and Gafford on
Speaker 1: the back line, right, and just how impactful that can
Speaker 1: be in the NBA playoffs. But one of the fundamental
Speaker 1: differences between Luka Dancic operating in that type of build
Speaker 1: and Anthony Edwards operating in that type of build is
Speaker 1: Luca is a master manipulator of the half court. It's
Speaker 1: like a natural ability, Right, I've been talking about this forever,
Speaker 1: but like there is a short list of guys that
Speaker 1: I think have that natural passing ability. Like there's so
Speaker 1: much of it that you can work out through repetition
Speaker 1: and just seeing getting tons and tons of reps in
Speaker 1: the half court. And then there's another element to it
Speaker 1: that is just kind of you. You're born with it. Right,
Speaker 1: Luca is born with it, Jokic is born with it,
Speaker 1: Lebron's born with it, Chris Paul is born with it.
Speaker 1: There's a short list of guys that kind of have
Speaker 1: that just natural playmaking ability, and Luca does so. When
Speaker 1: Luca runs up against Rudy Gobert on the back line
Speaker 1: and has a non shooter and Daniel Gafford or Derek
Speaker 1: Lively rolling to the basket, He's comfortable getting the defender
Speaker 1: into jail, methodically working into the lane, waiting for guys
Speaker 1: to commit and debate, bait, help defenders into making the
Speaker 1: wrong decision, or just making a read based on what
Speaker 1: decision they make. That's what Luca can do. I think
Speaker 1: Anthony Edwards can get better at that, but I'm I'm
Speaker 1: worried that he doesn't have the natural playmaking ability to
Speaker 1: be able to play in that type of closed off environment.
Speaker 1: And so when I think about the Go Beart build,
Speaker 1: like when I watch that series, there's a lot of
Speaker 1: different stuff that happened, right, And Like, obviously it was
Speaker 1: a problem that Minnesota, like Jada McDaniels, is too small
Speaker 1: for Luca, right, Like that's a problem. There's lots of
Speaker 1: problems that took place in this series on both ends
Speaker 1: of the floor. But the main one that stood out
Speaker 1: to me in this series was that with go Bear
Speaker 1: on the floor and his inability to catch and finish
Speaker 1: consistently around the basket unless it is a completely uncontested dunk,
Speaker 1: I'm worried that it's not going to be able to
Speaker 1: get to the point where he can consistently solve this
Speaker 1: type of defense. Because again, when you get into the postseason,
Speaker 1: it's not winning one round, it's not winning too. You
Speaker 1: got to have four rounds in two months. You have
Speaker 1: to beat four different elite basketball teams four times out
Speaker 1: of seven, and so you might make it to the
Speaker 1: conference finals if you catch some favorable matchups. That's happened
Speaker 1: a lot over the years, right, Like that Laker team
Speaker 1: last year with Lebron's injured foot, they made the conference finals.
Speaker 1: I came into the season putting them beneath the top
Speaker 1: tier of contenders. Why because I thought they were a
Speaker 1: conference finalist that clearly had a gaping hole in their
Speaker 1: perimeter athleticism, and I did not think they were good
Speaker 1: enough unless they made some substantial trade this year, which
Speaker 1: they did it. Right, That's exactly how I feel about
Speaker 1: this Minnesota Timberwolves team. You made it to the finals. Congratulations,
Speaker 1: you beat the defending champs. So did the Lakers last
Speaker 1: year they beat the defending champs. The difference is for
Speaker 1: this particular team, you fought again or you faced Yusuf
Speaker 1: Nurkic and Nicole Jokic in those first two rounds. They
Speaker 1: did not have the personnel to keep Anthony Edwards out
Speaker 1: of the paint, and because of that, Anthony Edwards picked
Speaker 1: him pieces and looked like a bona fide top tier
Speaker 1: superstar for two rounds, and then they ran into real
Speaker 1: rim protection in perimeter athleticism with Dallas. One of the
Speaker 1: things that is just about guaranteed to happen when you
Speaker 1: have to beat four teams in two months. If you
Speaker 1: have to beat four teams, at least one, if not two,
Speaker 1: maybe three, maybe four of them are gonna have perimeterive
Speaker 1: athleticism and a guy who can protect the rim. There
Speaker 1: are a lot of those teams in the Western Conference.
Speaker 1: Guess what Oklahoma City has chet Holmgrin. He'll be parking
Speaker 1: his ass in the paint in the entire game. The
Speaker 1: Lakers have Anthony Davis, He'll be parking his ass in
Speaker 1: the paint as much as he can over the course
Speaker 1: of the series. The Dallas Mavericks have Derek Lively. There
Speaker 1: are rim protectors in that conference, and that problem is
Speaker 1: not going away. Like next year, when you get into
Speaker 1: that Western Conference playoff picture, chances are you'll have to
Speaker 1: face another one. And so like when I look at that,
Speaker 1: the biggest thing that kind of screamed off the screen
Speaker 1: for me is you have to understand the strengths and
Speaker 1: weaknesses of your star. Anthony Edwards is a lot like
Speaker 1: the elite two guards that came before him, just like
Speaker 1: Kobe and MJ. Kobe and MJ, over the course of
Speaker 1: their careers became good playmakers, but they never became that
Speaker 1: magic Johnson, you know, Lebron James, Nikole Jokis, Lukadancic type
Speaker 1: of like surgical playmaker, right. So, like that's the reality
Speaker 1: for Anthony Edwards. His game is going to be predicated
Speaker 1: on pull up shooting, in the ability to get to
Speaker 1: the rim in some moderate playmaking. That's gonna be his game.
Speaker 1: As he gets better, I think he could become an
Speaker 1: elite pull up shooter. I think he could become one
Speaker 1: of the best pain attackers in the league. Do I
Speaker 1: think he's a guy who could average tennisis for an
Speaker 1: NBA season. No, Luca can operate with non shooters on
Speaker 1: the floor because he's that type of half court manipulator.
Speaker 1: I just think it's when I look at this Minnesota
Speaker 1: roster build, I don't think that Minnesota can win four
Speaker 1: playoff rounds with Rudy Gobert on the roster. It's just
Speaker 1: eventually they're going to run into a team where he's
Speaker 1: too much of a non threat offensively. And I look,
Speaker 1: I think that go Bear Slander's gone off the rails
Speaker 1: in this postseason in the sense that like a lot
Speaker 1: of people are acting like you can't play. There's been
Speaker 1: calls for him to come off the bench, But like
Speaker 1: he's still a top five to seven defender in the world.
Speaker 1: That's not the issue for me. He's still a net positive.
Speaker 1: It's just can you beat the best of the best
Speaker 1: with a non shooter and a non finisher like Rudy
Speaker 1: Gobert on your team? And so my I wonder if
Speaker 1: the future for Minnesota, if it looks more like a
Speaker 1: perimeter defense focused team than an interior defense focused team,
Speaker 1: you can counter a lack of rim protection with perimeter defense.
Speaker 1: That's a big part of what made Denver successful last year, right,
Speaker 1: Like just Aaron Gordon was unbelievable on Kevin Durant, he
Speaker 1: was unbelievable on Lebron James, he was unbelievable on Jimmy Butler,
Speaker 1: and that was enough for them to kind of contain
Speaker 1: and with KCP out there enough for them to contain
Speaker 1: on the perimeter well enough, and Jokic was active with
Speaker 1: his hands and they dominated the defensive glass. You can
Speaker 1: win without rim protection. Denver showed us that last year.
Speaker 1: It's rare. It's rare to win without elite interior defense.
Speaker 1: But again, Gobert specifically so weak offensively. That's very different
Speaker 1: than some of the rim protection that we've seen in
Speaker 1: years past from teams that win it right. Brook Lopez
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty one can shoot the basketball right. Draymond
Speaker 1: Green for the twenty twenty two Warriors is a good
Speaker 1: offensive player because of his ability to be a connective piece,
Speaker 1: and he can be if Steph gets blitzed, Draymond catches
Speaker 1: on the role and makes a play every single time.
Speaker 1: That's different twenty twenty one Brook Lopez twenty twenty, it's
Speaker 1: Anthony freaking davis Man. Twenty nineteen, it's Marcus Sahl or
Speaker 1: Serge Ibaka. Like if you go back, it's it's you know,
Speaker 1: Kevin Durant and Draymond Green in twenty eighteen, twenty seventeen,
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen, it's Kevin Love, you know. Twenty fifteen, it's
Speaker 1: Draymond Green again. Twenty fourteen, it's it's Tim Duncan, twenty thirteen,
Speaker 1: it's Chris Bosh. You You can't have a complete non
Speaker 1: threat at center and win the title. I don't think
Speaker 1: it's possible. And it's like, especially for a guy like
Speaker 1: Anthony Edwards whose game is predicated on applying rim pressure
Speaker 1: and Dallas was able to just shut the rim off
Speaker 1: from him in this series, I don't know what they do.
Speaker 1: Gobert is gonna be a really difficult contract to to trade.
Speaker 1: I almost think he has to play for an elite playmaker.
Speaker 1: He's gonna have to be on that type of team.
Speaker 1: I don't know if he can. I don't know if
Speaker 1: Maybe it's like he'd be an interesting fit in the
Speaker 1: long run into place like Indiana alongside Tyre's Halliburton. But
Speaker 1: it's gonna have to be alongside that level of playmaker
Speaker 1: in order for that fit to make sense. And so
Speaker 1: then I start to think, well, if Karl Anthony Towns
Speaker 1: is your full time center at that point, you keep
Speaker 1: Nazried as your backup center, or you have a two
Speaker 1: big look if you want, then I'm looking for a
Speaker 1: power forward that can defend and shoot the hell out
Speaker 1: of the basketball. I'm looking for a better version of
Speaker 1: Kyle Anderson. They have to somehow try to try to
Speaker 1: turn Rudy Gobert into a much better version of Kyle Anderson.
Speaker 1: Maybe they can get a Jeremy Grant. Maybe that's the
Speaker 1: kind of guy they can go after this summer, because
Speaker 1: then if you have Jeremy Grant, Jada McDaniels, Anthony Edwards, Conley,
Speaker 1: Carl Anthony Towns, with Nazried off the bench to kill
Speaker 1: Alexander Walk off the bench, whatever it is, then you
Speaker 1: can defend on the perimeter and you have matchup versatility
Speaker 1: in the later rounds of the playoffs to be able
Speaker 1: to use Anthony Edwards's best trait consistently regardless of matchup.
Speaker 1: I just that's screen off the screen for me, all series,
Speaker 1: for all the good go Beart did, and Gobart had
Speaker 1: some real good moments. I just just Dallas it Dallas
Speaker 1: every time they really needed to, could slow down that
Speaker 1: Minnesota offense. And so I think that's gonna be a
Speaker 1: problem they're gonna have to address. I doubt they will.
Speaker 1: I doubt they'll do anything. I bet you they run
Speaker 1: it back. But if they run it back, just like
Speaker 1: if all you have to do is pull up the
Speaker 1: Western Conference standings and go down the list and look
Speaker 1: at the rim protection. That's great that you managed to
Speaker 1: play Phoenix, and that's great that you managed to play Denver.
Speaker 1: But like O, Gooma City has Chet. You know, the
Speaker 1: Dallas Mavericks have Derek Livey, the Lakers have Anthony Davis.
Speaker 1: Even with the Golden State Warriors with Draymond Green. It's
Speaker 1: just I don't know. I don't know how you can
Speaker 1: how you can survive those types of matchups of go
Speaker 1: bear on the floor offensively. All right, guys, that is
Speaker 1: all I have for tonight. As always, as sincerely appreciate
