1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,800
Speaker 1: Welcome into what's burning. I got Matt, I got stacked

2
00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:07,920
Speaker 1: and coming straight from Puerto Rico. Oh yes, insta Arcus

3
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:12,600
Speaker 1: cousins bull Ye how is it? Monster monster win for

4
00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 1: your mets out in Puerto Rico playing the BSN. I

5
00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:17,720
Speaker 1: want to know everything. What has it been like so far?

6
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:20,119
Speaker 1: The atmosphere at these games seemed crazy.

7
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:25,480
Speaker 2: It's been a vibe honestly on the basketball aspect. It's

8
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:29,159
Speaker 2: good competition, it's a great fan base. The people of

9
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:32,080
Speaker 2: Puerto Rico are in love with the game of basketball,

10
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:34,159
Speaker 2: so that's incredible. Just to play in front of an

11
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:39,560
Speaker 2: energetic crowd every night, passionate crowd. The level of competition

12
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 2: is high. It doesn't get a lot of credit, you know,

13
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 2: from the States or that nature. I know it's considered

14
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 2: overseas basketball, but it's a very high level of basketball,

15
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 2: very physical league, competitive league. So it's been great. I'm

16
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 2: enjoying the process. I'm enjoying being back on the floor

17
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 2: playing a game. Had a tough win last night, we

18
00:00:58,720 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 2: ended up winning.

19
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 3: A bout one. I had a rather decent game, so

20
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 3: I'm good on that.

21
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 4: On that rather decent Yeah, he's putting up Yogi's numbers.

22
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:13,680
Speaker 5: Rather rather decent thirty one and nineteen Boogy, I got

23
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 5: a question, have you ran into any kids that look

24
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 5: like jack but like Brown? They'd probably be like around

25
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 5: twenty two or twenty three right now. They probably speak

26
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 5: good English.

27
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 3: Now, yeah, man, yeah.

28
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 5: I know, yeah, I knew he had a few illegitimate

29
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 5: a few illegitimates out there. So I just wonder if

30
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:34,039
Speaker 5: you haven't, like my dad played the NBA, who's your dad,

31
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 5: Stephen Jackson?

32
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 4: Look out of here?

33
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 6: First off? First off, that was Dominican Republic, not part

34
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 6: he will have you know, Yeah, I got kids in

35
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 6: dr not Puerto Rico.

36
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 7: My bad, bully.

37
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 1: What do you hope to accomplish down there?

38
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 2: When it's also to win a championship? That's my goal

39
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 2: right now. I'm taking this day at the time. Obviously

40
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 2: I would love to, you know, get to a point

41
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 2: where I can finish my career off in the League

42
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 2: of the NBA, But right now, my focus is helping

43
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:12,920
Speaker 2: this team win, win games, compete for a championship, and

44
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 2: just change this bullshit narrative that's all my name. So,

45
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 2: like IM said, I'm taking it a day at the

46
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 2: time and we'll see what happens.

47
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 7: Buget. I played.

48
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 6: I played overseas, Bro, and I can tell a lot

49
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 6: of people it's definitely not what they think. I enjoyed it,

50
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 6: just a love and appreciation from the fans. I won

51
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 6: the championship in Pueblo and the Webb on Dominican Republic, Bro,

52
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 6: and they carried me from the game all the way

53
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 6: back to my hotel, the whole crowd. So like their

54
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,399
Speaker 6: appreciation for winning and appreciation for the sport of basketball.

55
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 7: It's unbelievable over there, Bro. So you win a championship

56
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 7: over there, I'm telling you are. You probably already got

57
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:54,919
Speaker 7: a home for life there. But you can go back

58
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 7: there and get treated like a king for the rest

59
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 7: of your life.

60
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 1: I mean, you can have as many kids you want.

61
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:05,360
Speaker 4: Apparently, Hey, bug, what I wanted to ask.

62
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 5: Obviously, the game in the NBA has transitioned to a

63
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 5: more of a guard oriented game, but they're still bigs

64
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:16,919
Speaker 5: that are obviously winning MVPs here and putting up numbers

65
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 5: and doing things you were doing.

66
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 4: Your entire career.

67
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 5: I personally feel, although you're my brother, there's no bias.

68
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 5: But I just feel if we're talking straight game, there's

69
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:30,800
Speaker 5: no reason why your game shouldn't be in the NBA.

70
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:34,360
Speaker 5: Why do you personally feel like teams aren't giving you

71
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 5: a chance although you could still play.

72
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 3: Like I said, it's just a bullshit narrative.

73
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 2: And in today's society, people don't really take the time,

74
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 2: you know, get to know people. They they based it

75
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 2: off what they hear, what somebody else said, or somebody

76
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 2: else's experienced. So that's just what society is today. Can't

77
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 2: be mad about it, can't blame anybody for it, but

78
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 2: you know, that's just the nature of what it is.

79
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 2: So all I can do is control what I can control,

80
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 2: be the best version of myself every day, which I'm

81
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 2: trying to do. And I'm gonna continue pushing and playing

82
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 2: this game that I love and whatever happens happens, and

83
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 2: when it's time for me to hang them up, I'm

84
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 2: a ride off in the sunset.

85
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 1: Well, you're playing against real NBA talent down there. There's

86
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 1: a lot of guys in that league who played in

87
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 1: this league here, so I hope that people see what

88
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 1: you can do against serious competition.

89
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:23,600
Speaker 3: It's great.

90
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 2: We played Random Night and Terrence Jones last night, so

91
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm I'm blown away of how many NBA

92
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 2: guys are actually playing in this league that are you know,

93
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 2: kind of being overlooked or you know, swept under the road.

94
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 2: But it's a lot of talent in this league, and

95
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 2: on any given night, you can you can get a

96
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 2: thirty ball put on your head if you're not ready

97
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 2: to play.

98
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 3: So yeah, definitely a good competition.

99
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 1: Down I love it.

100
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 2: I love it.

101
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,559
Speaker 1: I want to talk a little playoff NBA basketball because

102
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:55,840
Speaker 1: the Lakers just took a three to one lead in

103
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 1: that series over the Warriors. I was at the arena

104
00:04:58,360 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 1: last night.

105
00:04:58,800 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 7: Guys.

106
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 1: The momentum shift in the fourth quarter was bananas. Remember

107
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 1: the Warriors entered that quarter up seven points. By the

108
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 1: time the buzzer sounded, Lonnie Walker had scored nearly as

109
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 1: many points in the fourth as the entire Warriors team

110
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:13,919
Speaker 1: Golden State. In fact, guys had just one bucket in

111
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:16,840
Speaker 1: the game's final three minutes. Matt I wanted to start

112
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 1: with you, do you think that's a credit to the Lakers?

113
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 1: D Is it poor shot selection from your old teammates

114
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 1: Stephan Clay? What do you make of the way that

115
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 1: game ended?

116
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:26,920
Speaker 5: I want to obviously credit the Lakers defense. I mean,

117
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 5: I think it's been an issue for Golden State the

118
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 5: entire series. I think their size and their length has disrupted,

119
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 5: you know, the flow obviously of Steph. Although he's still

120
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 5: been able to get his numbers, he's really had to

121
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 5: work for it. And then obviously Clay, and I heard

122
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:43,840
Speaker 5: Steve Kerr talk about after the game, you know that

123
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 5: this is our mentality. You know, we live and die

124
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 5: with these guys. You know, obviously maybe those two shots

125
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 5: Clay would.

126
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 4: Have wanted back.

127
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,600
Speaker 5: But I think the one thing that people aren't necessarily

128
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 5: looking at is they're going at Stephan Clay on the

129
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 5: defensive end. On the offensive end, Lakers are making Steph

130
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 5: and Clay work to really tire these guys out. And

131
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:04,840
Speaker 5: and you know, all these guys, you know, everyone on here,

132
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:08,280
Speaker 5: you know can shoot and shot in the league. Tired

133
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 5: lagerer tough, especially in the fourth quarter when you're working

134
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 5: on both ends. So I definitely credit the Lakers defense

135
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,040
Speaker 5: first and foremost, and then them going at them offensively

136
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 5: as well to make these guys work. And you know,

137
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,599
Speaker 5: Lonnie Walker, you know, I saw Lebron. Lebron has showed

138
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:27,279
Speaker 5: that he's human these playoffs. I've never seen Lebron tired

139
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 5: ever period on or off the court. Never seen him tired.

140
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 5: Definitely seen him tired. Ad with the big first half

141
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:36,040
Speaker 5: and only four shot attempts in the second half for

142
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 5: four points, I'm sure it was a little disappointing for

143
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 5: Laker fans, But Lonnie Walker is playing with the chip

144
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,599
Speaker 5: on his shoulder. You know, we recall before the trade deadline,

145
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:47,280
Speaker 5: this guy was playing quality minutes, putting in good buckets,

146
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 5: playing well, and then he got buried on the bench

147
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,559
Speaker 5: and he got a little glimmer of hope last game,

148
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:54,480
Speaker 5: and then in this game, you know, not to take

149
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 5: a shot attempt until the fourth quarter, and then literally,

150
00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:00,120
Speaker 5: you know, he scored fifteen, the Warrior scored seven. He

151
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 5: and as a team in the fourth they don't win

152
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 5: this game without Lonnie Walker. So happy for him that

153
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 5: he was kind of able to unbury himself and find

154
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 5: the rhythm.

155
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 4: But this is going to be.

156
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 5: Obviously we'll talk about this later, but yeah, I'll leave

157
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 5: it there and let these guys run with it.

158
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 1: Stack, What did you make of Lonnie Walker? Because it's

159
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 1: one thing to sort of get that opportunity. We see

160
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:22,679
Speaker 1: it in the playoffs all the time, right, A guy

161
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 1: that hasn't gotten a lot of runs, suddenly gets out there.

162
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 1: But it's one thing to get the chance, it's another

163
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 1: thing to be ready enough to take it. What do

164
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 1: you think he did that he was able to take

165
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 1: the opportunity he.

166
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 7: Got, you got.

167
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 6: You gotta salute him from staying ready. You know, being

168
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 6: a young guy and not getting constant men as it

169
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 6: can be frustrating. I've been in that position when I

170
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 6: first got to San Antonio playing, not playing, being on

171
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 6: the Angel list, just sitting at the end of that bench,

172
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 6: knowing you deserve to be on that court. It could

173
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 6: be frustrating and it could.

174
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 7: Kill your mental well.

175
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 6: When you do get a chance, you can be out

176
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 6: there pouting like somebody on Golden State is doing. But

177
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 6: we're talking about Lonnie right now. Lonnie Lonnie is he

178
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 6: took advantage of his time. He went out there and

179
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 6: stayed ready and that you know, they got the line

180
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 6: stay ready so you don't.

181
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 7: Have to get ready. He's a perfect example of that.

182
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 6: But somebody on Golden State team is doing exactly opposite

183
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 6: what he's doing. Jordan Poole, he'd been pouting the whole

184
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 6: series when they first when they first went small and

185
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 6: they didn't start him. He had a little funky attitude

186
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:20,559
Speaker 6: and and showed up to the game with his energy.

187
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 7: Was pissed poor his just his.

188
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 6: Energy on defense, the way he was guarding Peel, with

189
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 6: the shots he was taking, it was just hard. But

190
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 6: with the Lakers win the championship, they definitely to give

191
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 6: Jordan Poole a ring because.

192
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:33,679
Speaker 7: He's definitely contributed to this series for them winning.

193
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 6: And but Stephen, you got to give a lot of

194
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:40,719
Speaker 6: credit to the Lakers defense. Of course, you know what

195
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,080
Speaker 6: I'm saying, Like a d the way he's been clogging

196
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:44,560
Speaker 6: up the paint, the way he stepped up on D.

197
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 6: They could talk about him showing up the even games,

198
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:49,679
Speaker 6: not showing up the all games or whatever it is,

199
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 6: but he showed up defensively every game this series. And

200
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:55,680
Speaker 6: that's what's been the difference. They're not really talking about that.

201
00:08:55,720 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 6: They're just worried about his offense, but their step even

202
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 6: though they live and die raged by those threes, they

203
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 6: got to be smart on some of them. Some of

204
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 6: them just too outragees when they when they at the

205
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 6: key moments at his game. You know, if you if

206
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 6: you look at the finals last year, and and and

207
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 6: and the Western Conference Finals last year. They was taking

208
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:16,960
Speaker 6: those same shots rates, but they wasn't as erratic. They

209
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 6: wouldn't falling out of bounds. They would they were probably

210
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 6: some of them. Some of them was the same range,

211
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 6: but there were good looks they wasn't. They weren't seven

212
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 6: foot is h flying at them and contesting those shots.

213
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 6: So they got to look at their shots selection too,

214
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 6: because a lot of those shots were just crazy.

215
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 1: What did you make of that? Bug? And the Jordan

216
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,720
Speaker 1: Poole situation as well, because look, he only played ten minutes.

217
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:40,440
Speaker 1: It's I want to ask you guys about that. I mean,

218
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 1: Jordan Poole is a good basketball player, but his confidence

219
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:48,319
Speaker 1: and body language has not been great lately, and obviously offensively,

220
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 1: he's just struggled by.

221
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 2: What you got to understand about playing for a championship

222
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 2: and playing championship basketball every night isn't going to be

223
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 2: a knight. But you have to know that as a

224
00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 2: player and as a teammate. So with that being said,

225
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 2: you have other ways to contribute to the game and

226
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:05,720
Speaker 2: affect the game. And credit to Anthony Davis because he's

227
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:08,080
Speaker 2: been a prime example of that. He's had games where

228
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 2: he struggled offensively, but it doesn't determine how he impacts

229
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 2: the game defensive And this is who he is, this

230
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 2: is who.

231
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:16,839
Speaker 3: He's always been.

232
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 2: We could take it all the way back to his

233
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 2: championship game with the University of Kentucky. He struggled offensively

234
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 2: in that game. His message to the team was, y'all

235
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 2: handled the offense and I'll make sure nobody scores on

236
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:30,319
Speaker 2: his end, and they ended up winning a championship. So

237
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:33,439
Speaker 2: with that being said, it's levels to this thing, and

238
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 2: you have to understand, at some point it may not

239
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 2: be my night, but what can I bring to the team.

240
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 2: And I think that's the struggle that Jordan Poole is having.

241
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 2: And on top of that, it's the bad body language,

242
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:47,720
Speaker 2: the power, and it's the shitty attitude and also not

243
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 2: want to be critiqued by you know, your veterans, the

244
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 2: guys that have done this over and over and over again.

245
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 2: It's been a clip where you know, he kind of

246
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 2: snatched away from Draymond. We know what the narrative ismond

247
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:00,960
Speaker 2: is is bully YadA, YadA, YadA, but that was a

248
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,560
Speaker 2: prime example of what you know really is going on

249
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:06,840
Speaker 2: between those two. It's a big brother little brother relationship,

250
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 2: and sometimes the little brother gets out of line. You

251
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 2: got to fall back in line and listen to your

252
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:15,200
Speaker 2: big brother. But I think it's a very fixable situation.

253
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:17,440
Speaker 2: It's just upon Jordan Pooh to want to do it

254
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 2: and understand what the bigger picture is, which is winning

255
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 2: the championship.

256
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 3: So it's on him.

257
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 5: But I also think Rachel and you know, obviously I

258
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:27,959
Speaker 5: was never fortunate enough to get the type of money

259
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:33,720
Speaker 5: he got. But it's only natural, right, It's only natural

260
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 5: to shit, It's only natural to kind of you know,

261
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 5: that kind of money is that kind of money is

262
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 5: life changing? And you know, can't does he think because

263
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 5: he has that kind of money, he doesn't have to listen,

264
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 5: or he doesn't have to fall in line, or he

265
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 5: can march to his own beat, you know what I mean?

266
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 5: And again this is all speculation to just guessing, but

267
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:56,479
Speaker 5: trying to figure out why someone who is so talented

268
00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 5: hasn't been able to.

269
00:11:58,600 --> 00:11:59,840
Speaker 4: Affect the game in any way.

270
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 5: You know, normally you say, hey, it's an off night,

271
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 5: you know, what else can you do? I always tell

272
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 5: my kids that I coach. If the best thing you

273
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 5: do is taking away house, can you affect the game.

274
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 5: But he's been a target. I mean, even back to

275
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:13,440
Speaker 5: the Sacramento series. Whoever he guarded it was, Iso will

276
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 5: go downhill on him because he's not gonna guard when

277
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,200
Speaker 5: he has the ball, offensive your shots a going. His

278
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 5: decision making comes into play where just careless turnovers, understanding

279
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 5: how important each possession is in the playoffs, you can't

280
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 5: just throw the ball away. So I feel like, obviously,

281
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 5: like Bully said, it's a fixable situation. It's going to

282
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:32,320
Speaker 5: be upon him, and I just hope he has someone

283
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 5: in this corner that he does listen to and that

284
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:39,560
Speaker 5: can helpfully help him lift this energy he has on

285
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:42,320
Speaker 5: him because although it's three to one, if any team

286
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:44,680
Speaker 5: can come back from three to one, it's this dynasty.

287
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 5: But they're gonna need Jordan Poole to contribute somehow.

288
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:47,960
Speaker 4: Someway.

289
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 5: I mean, Steph is busting his ass every single night,

290
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:51,720
Speaker 5: running two miles a game.

291
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 4: He had triple double last night.

292
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,199
Speaker 5: Obviously Clay struggled a little bit, but Clay and Jordan

293
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 5: Poole are going to have to do something if this

294
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:00,439
Speaker 5: team has a chance to come back from this deficit.

295
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:03,440
Speaker 5: I trust him Clay because Clay's been there. Clay's gone

296
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 5: through rough strouts and then he'll break out and give

297
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 5: you a forty piece because he just he's a He's.

298
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:08,720
Speaker 4: A consummant pro.

299
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 5: Jordan Poole is younger, so he may not understand how

300
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 5: to handle these playoff struggles because the playoff struggles are

301
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 5: a lot different than regular season struggles. So in order

302
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 5: for this team to make a move, Jordan Poole is

303
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 5: going to have to do something and I hope that

304
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 5: he's able to figure that out as a player before

305
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:24,040
Speaker 5: it's too late.

306
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:27,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, Matt, you bring up Steph like he had scratches

307
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:30,199
Speaker 1: all over his face last night postgame. It was really

308
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 1: interesting to see how physical they are being with him.

309
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 1: And of course that's been the book for any Lebron

310
00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:38,319
Speaker 1: team on Steph. Right, But I've been I want to

311
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 1: shout out Darvin Ham because I don't think he gets

312
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 1: enough credit. I think anyone who coaches Lebron Anthony Davis team,

313
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 1: everyone just feels like, oh yeah, the coach is just

314
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:51,679
Speaker 1: sitting there. I feel like the defensive backbone that Darvin

315
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:54,960
Speaker 1: has instilled in this squad, you can see it everywhere.

316
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:58,080
Speaker 1: I mean, I covered Darvin's Pistons team, like, I know

317
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:01,440
Speaker 1: what they I know the attitude that he brings to

318
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:03,560
Speaker 1: that side of the ball, and I feel like that

319
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 1: has been so key in this run since the trade deadline,

320
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 1: and certainly in this series. Stack you see it, right,

321
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 1: I Mean it's not just what the Warriors are or

322
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:15,319
Speaker 1: aren't doing. The Lakers are forcing them into this a

323
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 1: lot of the time.

324
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, and Darvin Ham is being super smart. I mean, hey,

325
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 6: Steve Kerr, if you want to play two non shooters, cool,

326
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 6: we gonna let Lebron and a just sit in the

327
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 6: paint on y'all and force Clay and stefp to first

328
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 6: force Clay to be a playmaker. That's why Clay getting

329
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 6: all these turnovers because they forcing Clay to be a playmaker.

330
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 6: They forcing them down on them, picking them screens so

331
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 6: he ain't coming off.

332
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 7: For a clear shot.

333
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 6: So now you got to put the ball down and

334
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 6: try to make a play. Clay and used to doing that,

335
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 6: so that's why he's getting all those turnovers, right, So

336
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 6: they just send them to Clay and Braun and they

337
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 6: not being able to finish over them.

338
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 7: And you have it.

339
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 6: You have Gary Payton, you have Draymond, you have Looney,

340
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 6: all these guys on the court together that really don't

341
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 6: want to shoot the ball, so it's easy to play

342
00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 6: three on five on defense, right, So Darvin ham is

343
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 6: really exploiting that. And I think Steve credit to look

344
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 6: at have at least four shooters on the court and

345
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 6: not two or three because it's easier for him to

346
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 6: guard that.

347
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 5: I will say, obviously, with this being three to one

348
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:14,000
Speaker 5: and it's fully in the Lakers control, they need to

349
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 5: end this series sooner than later because they are exhausted

350
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 5: out there.

351
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:19,960
Speaker 4: Lebron is exhausted out there.

352
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 5: I think his tongue is probably sticking to the roof

353
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 5: of his mouth at times like cotton mouth. The one

354
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 5: thing I will say, and you touched on the book,

355
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 5: I was so impressed with the way that Ad was

356
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:34,480
Speaker 5: able to stay in front of Steph those last few

357
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 5: possessions because normally Steph is so hirky jerky, but Ad

358
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 5: is just so long. All those Steph may get him

359
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 5: off balance at a second, He's still long enough to

360
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 5: contest and make it a tough shot. So AD's ability

361
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 5: to stay in front of Steph, which not too many

362
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 5: people in the world can do at Ad size and

363
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 5: still make it tough for Steph to shoot because Steph

364
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 5: is used to getting you know, his motion is right here,

365
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 5: but he's having to shoot the thing way higher than

366
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 5: normal because he knows if he doesn't get it up,

367
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 5: AD's gonna block that shit.

368
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:02,920
Speaker 4: So I definitely want.

369
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 5: To give a d credit where he deserves because he

370
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 5: has been and Jack, you said it. One thing he's

371
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 5: shown up every single night in this series is he's

372
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 5: shown up on the defensive and an ability in the

373
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 5: fourth quarter to switch out on one of the most

374
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 5: elusive guys in the greatest shoot that we've ever seen

375
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 5: and make him take tough shots.

376
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 4: You've got to credit that.

377
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:21,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you've seen you've seen Ad grow so much

378
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 1: in that area. I mean you played with him, you

379
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 1: know so.

380
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 2: I mean, like I said, I've seen this time and

381
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 2: time again, and like I said earlier, it dates back

382
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 2: all the way to his UK days. The guy understands

383
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 2: the game. He understands how to play it, he understands

384
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 2: how to win. He's super unselfish with just him being

385
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 2: the superstar he is making thirty forty million a year

386
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 2: and still being able to say, hey, you guys handled

387
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 2: the offense. I lock down everything on the defensive end.

388
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 2: That's that's a championship player. That's that's championship basketball. So

389
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 2: kudos to him, and you know, hopefully we can continue

390
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 2: to see this great play from him.

391
00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 1: Well it's going to be interesting, right because Matt, you

392
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:02,320
Speaker 1: say there, their interest is to wrap up this series.

393
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 1: You got on the other side, you got the Heat

394
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 1: in Jimmy Butler just flat out taking advantage of the

395
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:09,680
Speaker 1: Knicks in every possible way. They're up three to one

396
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 1: as well, just another win from the Eastern Conference finals, which,

397
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:14,639
Speaker 1: by the way, the last time in the eighth seed

398
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 1: got to the conference finals was the nineteen ninety nine Knicks,

399
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 1: and we know they got all the way to the finals.

400
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 1: So who do you think you have more confidence in

401
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 1: right now? In terms of three one leads Boogie the Heat.

402
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:28,959
Speaker 3: Of the Lakers. The Heat, I mean, they're all right,

403
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 3: the Kniggs.

404
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:35,400
Speaker 2: Their toughness is I mean, we know the Heats foundation

405
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:39,240
Speaker 2: is defense is toughness, and this is the perfect stage

406
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:41,920
Speaker 2: four during the playoffs. So they're just splat out at

407
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:44,879
Speaker 2: toughening and out playing the Knicks. When it comes to

408
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 2: the Lakers and Warriors, you got to give credit to

409
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 2: your Warriors. They've been here before, They've done it before.

410
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:52,439
Speaker 2: They're literally the most dangerous team in the NBA. They

411
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:54,399
Speaker 2: can get hot at any time and the whole series

412
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:57,199
Speaker 2: can change. So I definitely think the Heat are in

413
00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 2: a more comfortable position.

414
00:17:59,280 --> 00:17:59,919
Speaker 7: Yeah, I agree.

415
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,440
Speaker 6: Jimmy Buller has just been the best player by far

416
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 6: in this series. He's just been dominating on both fans

417
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 6: of the court. I like Brunton, but I you know,

418
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 6: I just think the Knicks still are two players away.

419
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:16,760
Speaker 6: You know, Barrett is cool, uh, Randal Randall game it's

420
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:19,640
Speaker 6: getting exploded now. He's He's able to do certain things

421
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 6: in the regular season, but when they take things away,

422
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:23,920
Speaker 6: he don't really have too many counters to his game.

423
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 6: His game is real stiff, but he like he dominated

424
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:29,199
Speaker 6: a regular season, but this is the level goes up

425
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:31,600
Speaker 6: each round and I don't think his game has grown

426
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:33,879
Speaker 6: enough to to to carry the Knicks out of this

427
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:35,680
Speaker 6: round yet. I think he still has some growing to

428
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 6: it offensively, but Jimmy Butler just just dictating everything on

429
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:41,960
Speaker 6: the court offensively for his team.

430
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 7: He got his team confident.

431
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:44,160
Speaker 4: Uh.

432
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 6: They are definitely the more aggressive team, but Brunson definitely

433
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 6: needs more help out that he's playing hard, but the

434
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:51,240
Speaker 6: other guys on the team, especially with quickly being out,

435
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:53,400
Speaker 6: the other guys on the team don't have enough to

436
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:55,640
Speaker 6: to to to help them, especially get a road a road,

437
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 6: a win on the road going home this next game.

438
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:01,639
Speaker 6: I just I think Jimmy and the and Miami eastmell blood.

439
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 6: I think they're going to the Garden for a big

440
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:05,400
Speaker 6: game to go and get some risks so they can

441
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 6: be ready for the Eastern Conference Finals.

442
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 1: It's crazy what Miami's doing because if we look at

443
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:12,399
Speaker 1: the other low seeds on the West, say who have

444
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 1: been upsetting higher seeds the Warriors. They got Andrew Wiggins back, right,

445
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:18,960
Speaker 1: so you can see why things have changed for them.

446
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 1: The Lakers made that huge series of mid season trades,

447
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:24,240
Speaker 1: and you can see why things have gotten better for them.

448
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:29,200
Speaker 1: The Miami Heat have lost players, They've lost guys to injury, right,

449
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 1: Tyler iiro got knocked out in that Bucks series, and

450
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:35,960
Speaker 1: yet here they are poised to do something no team

451
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:40,160
Speaker 1: has done in twenty five years. Obviously, Jimmy Butler has

452
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:43,680
Speaker 1: been possibly the best player in this entire postseason so far.

453
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 1: Eric Spolstra, you got to give him so much credit

454
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 1: for the way he is coaching. I just think it's remarkable.

455
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:51,879
Speaker 1: If you look at this team, they barely made it

456
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 1: out of the play in they lost their first playing game.

457
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:56,120
Speaker 1: They could have not been in these playoffs at all,

458
00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:57,680
Speaker 1: and that look what they've done.

459
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:02,400
Speaker 6: But also for it forced them to to play one

460
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:06,640
Speaker 6: of the key players who have CHAI Championship experience, Kyle Lowry,

461
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:08,800
Speaker 6: is forced to play him more to rely on him,

462
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,200
Speaker 6: and he's been and he's been a big difference rates.

463
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:13,159
Speaker 6: He's been a big difference for them, being able to

464
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 6: play more minutes now, been able to allow him to

465
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:17,159
Speaker 6: run the show and make big shots.

466
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:19,200
Speaker 7: I think that's that's really helped him more than heard him.

467
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:21,959
Speaker 5: And I think too, Jack, to your point, he's been

468
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 5: able to be that calming present with that second unit.

469
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:26,320
Speaker 5: He's been able to run that second unit. They begin

470
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:28,119
Speaker 5: a lot of production with their bench, with the Martin,

471
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:30,440
Speaker 5: with the Martin Kidd and and and there's been a

472
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:34,439
Speaker 5: Duncan Duncan Robinson siding. But I think you hit it, Rachel.

473
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 5: I don't think Sposter gets enough credit. Obviously, Jimmy is

474
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 5: one of the greatest competitors game has ever seen.

475
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 4: Uh right, now, it's mental for.

476
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:43,880
Speaker 5: Jimmy because he's you know, he's he's going, he's fighting

477
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 5: through these injuries, but we can never tell that he

478
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 5: had a terrible ankle spring. Like, it's all mental for Jimmy.

479
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:52,120
Speaker 5: He's on his Momba ship right now. I tweeted yesterday

480
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 5: during the game, why with the team who's scoring such

481
00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 5: as the Knicks, how I have a hard time And

482
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:00,080
Speaker 5: I didn't know the kid's name, and I was and

483
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:02,040
Speaker 5: trying to just I think his name is McBride. I

484
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:04,399
Speaker 5: wasn't familiar with this game. But it's hard for me

485
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 5: to believe that Derrick Rose can't give you nothing. It's

486
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:09,280
Speaker 5: hard for me to believe a team that's scoring, that

487
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:12,439
Speaker 5: Evan Fournier can't give you nothing, you know what I mean. Like,

488
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:14,919
Speaker 5: there's guys sitting on the bench that have proven that

489
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 5: they could put the ball in the basket. And I

490
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:18,879
Speaker 5: don't want to hear neither of these guys play defense

491
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:21,120
Speaker 5: because no one's fucking playing defense out there for New York.

492
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 5: So I don't want to care. I don't care about

493
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 5: the defense. They need some scoring. But you know, to

494
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:29,479
Speaker 5: answer your question, I definitely trust Miami with this. We

495
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 5: all know that, like Shaq says, you need the others,

496
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 5: but your superstars have to carry you in the playoffs,

497
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:37,640
Speaker 5: and the Knicks don't have any superstars yet. I think

498
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:40,720
Speaker 5: Jayalen Brunson is a star in learning what becoming a

499
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 5: superstar means night in, night out, to be able to

500
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 5: carry your team. Julius Randall with the bad high ankle

501
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:47,360
Speaker 5: spring going into the playoffs, I don't feel like he's

502
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:49,959
Speaker 5: really found any rhythm. And then, like Jack said, when

503
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 5: they're able to take stuff away from him, he doesn't

504
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:55,439
Speaker 5: really have the ability to counter. So you know, I

505
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:57,960
Speaker 5: think Miami will close this out. If it's not next game,

506
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 5: it'll be for sure back in Miami and be able

507
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 5: to advance to the Eastern Finals. And then again, like

508
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 5: I said earlier, the Lakers need to finish the Warriors

509
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:09,439
Speaker 5: off sooner than later, because if the game goes seven,

510
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:14,360
Speaker 5: I'm gonna trust the Warriors their pace and their ability

511
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:16,679
Speaker 5: to get hot at any second to win this series.

512
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:19,920
Speaker 1: And in their own building too. We gotta remember where

513
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:21,720
Speaker 1: this series will end up if it ends up in

514
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:29,159
Speaker 1: a game seven. Let's switch over on the other part

515
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:31,159
Speaker 1: of the West. Nuggets Suns nodded up at two to

516
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 1: two First of all, I want to give our guy

517
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:36,959
Speaker 1: Jamal Crawford credit. When Phoenix was down two, he insisted

518
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:39,439
Speaker 1: the Suns were gonna come back. So shout out Jamal

519
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:42,080
Speaker 1: for that, and shout out to Phoenix. Since the Sun's

520
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:47,800
Speaker 1: one game four despite Joker dropping fifty three points, Katie

521
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 1: and book I mean incredible in game four, very efficient

522
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:54,440
Speaker 1: seventy two points combined, which is a crazy sentence to say.

523
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:57,400
Speaker 1: And I would say, you can't depend on those two

524
00:22:57,440 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 1: guys to do that every game, But guys, Devin Booker

525
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:03,359
Speaker 1: has been pretty much doing this every game. He just

526
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:06,840
Speaker 1: had the best two game shooting performance of the last decade.

527
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:09,400
Speaker 1: So what do you think, Boogie. Can the Sons rely

528
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:11,680
Speaker 1: on KD and d book to get them through here?

529
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:12,520
Speaker 3: I believe?

530
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:16,440
Speaker 2: So where we all know what Kevin Durant is, so,

531
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:20,359
Speaker 2: I mean, his talent speaks for himself. Devin Booker is

532
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:22,440
Speaker 2: still a guy trying to, you know, kind of prove

533
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:25,920
Speaker 2: and make his name in his league. He's basically a superstar,

534
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:28,200
Speaker 2: but he's still trying to get to that next level

535
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 2: with the KDS, the Lebron's and those types.

536
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 3: So this is a great stage for him as well.

537
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:34,920
Speaker 3: With the absence of CP.

538
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 2: This is a step for him to be able to

539
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 2: step up and step up into his leadership role and

540
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:42,879
Speaker 2: push his team to new heights. But they're performing at

541
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:47,120
Speaker 2: all time high. They're playing championship basketball. There's no doubt

542
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 2: in my mind they can push his team to the

543
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:50,760
Speaker 2: next round. So I can see them getting past them.

544
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:52,880
Speaker 7: I think. I think for me, I think I think

545
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 7: he got a.

546
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:58,480
Speaker 6: Lot to do with guys like Shamit and uh and

547
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:00,879
Speaker 6: the other key players the point are because if you

548
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:04,240
Speaker 6: look at it, Rag, even though Booker and Katie having

549
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:07,440
Speaker 6: these big games, you put Murray and Yokus points together,

550
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:10,720
Speaker 6: they still outscoring them. They still they still scoring more

551
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 6: points if you could, if you can bind them.

552
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 7: So it's a supporting cast to me.

553
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:16,919
Speaker 6: You know, the big shot Shaman came and came and

554
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:19,800
Speaker 6: made the other guys that come in and defensively making

555
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:22,960
Speaker 6: it harder on Murray and Yokis just just at least

556
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:23,480
Speaker 6: they trying.

557
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 7: I think Gordon has to give them for more.

558
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 6: If he don't give them more, He's doing an okay

559
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:29,600
Speaker 6: job on defense, but you know, you can't stop KD.

560
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:31,560
Speaker 6: You got to give them something on offense. You can't

561
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:33,719
Speaker 6: rely too much on Bruce Brown. He's gonna be your

562
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:35,880
Speaker 6: energy guy. He gonna get some tip in, some rebounds,

563
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:38,200
Speaker 6: some big plays because he played with a lot of energy.

564
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:40,280
Speaker 6: Gordon has to give them more on all on the

565
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:42,879
Speaker 6: offensive end because if not, they're definitely going home.

566
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 4: I would also say to Piggybacker.

567
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:47,960
Speaker 5: I think Michael Porter Jr. Needs to give them more

568
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:52,919
Speaker 5: on the offensive end as well. To Phoenix's credit, and

569
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 5: I guess Manti Williams's ability to wake up, he had

570
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:56,359
Speaker 5: to go to that bench.

571
00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 4: I mean he has scoring on that bench. He has

572
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:00,680
Speaker 4: Terrence ROSSI has t J. Warren.

573
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:03,920
Speaker 5: You know, we speak to Lonnie Walker's herogues last night

574
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:05,359
Speaker 5: and we definitely want to shout him out. But the

575
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:07,919
Speaker 5: Phoenix Suns don't went without shammit last game or his

576
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:09,919
Speaker 5: ability to have seventeen points, and I think he had

577
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 5: three straight threes, four out of five threes in the

578
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 5: fourth quarter.

579
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 4: He was huge.

580
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:20,200
Speaker 5: So I think his Manni's ability to trust his bench

581
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:23,160
Speaker 5: was important. But then I want to touch on another

582
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:24,720
Speaker 5: person that I kind of feel like it is on

583
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:26,520
Speaker 5: some Jordan Poole type shit, and that's Ayden.

584
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:27,160
Speaker 7: Yeah.

585
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:32,119
Speaker 5: I mean, he's getting he's getting his ass toasted every

586
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:35,240
Speaker 5: single game out played and we're not. And I don't

587
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:37,399
Speaker 5: even think it's high expectations. I don't even say this

588
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 5: with no disrespect. They're not expecting him to give them

589
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:43,280
Speaker 5: jokic numbers. Bro, you just got paid. You got to

590
00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:45,240
Speaker 5: give them some kind of numbers. And I feel like

591
00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:48,400
Speaker 5: I feel like they're better when they have the other

592
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:51,240
Speaker 5: dude out there. What's the other dude with the euro

593
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:53,119
Speaker 5: dude with the shaved head on the side.

594
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:55,200
Speaker 7: Like a mullet.

595
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:56,080
Speaker 3: Yeah.

596
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:59,160
Speaker 5: Bro, he plays so hard out there and he crashes

597
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:01,439
Speaker 5: the glass and he doesn't care about getting touches.

598
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:02,920
Speaker 4: He gets his points where they come.

599
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:05,679
Speaker 5: Aiden is out there acting like a little prima donna,

600
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:07,879
Speaker 5: you know what I mean, like not shaking people's hands

601
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 5: and having an attitude when you get put out the game.

602
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:12,359
Speaker 5: But bro, you're not doing shit, Like you're not doing

603
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:14,119
Speaker 5: nothing when you're out there. But then you want to

604
00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:17,520
Speaker 5: whine and complain and have bad energy. And I remember,

605
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:20,200
Speaker 5: this is why Phoenix didn't necessarily want to give him money.

606
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:22,720
Speaker 5: It makes I know that they didn't necessarily want to

607
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:25,560
Speaker 5: give him money when contract time came up because of

608
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:28,359
Speaker 5: they didn't know that he was already a handful of handle.

609
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:29,920
Speaker 5: They didn't know how he was going to act with

610
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:32,400
Speaker 5: the bag, and now he's got the bag and he's

611
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 5: acting funny again. So again this is not to knock

612
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:38,359
Speaker 5: him because they need him, but he's not giving them

613
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:42,359
Speaker 5: anything out there. He's not giving them anything. And we

614
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:45,760
Speaker 5: know what Booker, we know what Ktie are going to do.

615
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:48,359
Speaker 5: But these others that we mentioned, but I think the

616
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:51,919
Speaker 5: most important other is is ating. Because Aiden is a

617
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:55,159
Speaker 5: very solid double double, should be an eighteen twelve guy.

618
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:58,000
Speaker 5: They're not expecting him to score fifty or forty like Yogic.

619
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:00,280
Speaker 5: This is the reason why Yokic is the form, you know,

620
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 5: reigning MVP. They just need him to get come out

621
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:06,800
Speaker 5: and give me sixteen to eighteen twelve rebounds and just be,

622
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:09,399
Speaker 5: you know, someone who's gonna block shot and change. And

623
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:12,520
Speaker 5: I think he's so worried about the other shit that

624
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:16,239
Speaker 5: he's not given them too much anything. So shout out

625
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:18,159
Speaker 5: to Mani for not falling for the shit. You know,

626
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:20,199
Speaker 5: he's playing that other guy when he feels like he

627
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:21,960
Speaker 5: needs to play him. He played him down the stretch

628
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 5: and had aid and mad. But at the end of

629
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:25,960
Speaker 5: the day, man, it's about winning. It's that senular goal

630
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:29,960
Speaker 5: you know that everyone wants to get to, so without CP,

631
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:34,399
Speaker 5: without aid and giving them very minimal Booker and KD

632
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 5: have been absolutely amazing, But on the flip side of

633
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:40,040
Speaker 5: so have Murray and Jokich and this has been a really,

634
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:42,240
Speaker 5: really fun series. So there's some guys that have to

635
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:45,359
Speaker 5: step up on both sides. But as far as star

636
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:47,560
Speaker 5: power in this game, the stars have given everything that

637
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:49,679
Speaker 5: they have and it's been fun to watch.

638
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 2: Pig backing off of Matt definitely has to get his

639
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 2: head out of his ass. This is also a former

640
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:59,560
Speaker 2: number one pick, so to say there aren't any expectations

641
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:02,200
Speaker 2: for him, it's just a damn lie. I'm expecting twenty

642
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 2: and ten from him every night, not because he's specifically

643
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:07,399
Speaker 2: the number one pick, because he has the ability to

644
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:09,360
Speaker 2: do so and it's up to him to go do it. Yes,

645
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 2: he's nicknaming himself dominating and all that, Well, go show

646
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:16,880
Speaker 2: me you can dominate a game. That's what Those are

647
00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:19,760
Speaker 2: my expectations from you, and I haven't seen it thus far.

648
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:23,119
Speaker 2: So you know, all the criticism and all the you know,

649
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:26,120
Speaker 2: the bad pub he's getting right now is well deserved.

650
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:27,679
Speaker 2: It's up to him to step up his game and

651
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 2: go contribute to helping his team win the championship.

652
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:32,560
Speaker 5: Because we all know one or two big games will

653
00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:34,600
Speaker 5: change the whole native change. You know, the media is

654
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:38,240
Speaker 5: all about out there that dominating.

655
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:39,400
Speaker 3: And what.

656
00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:41,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, you go out there and be that dominating

657
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:43,640
Speaker 5: that you named yourself, and the whole narrative changes and

658
00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:46,560
Speaker 5: you put yourself your team in a position to advance

659
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:47,240
Speaker 5: to the next round.

660
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:48,920
Speaker 7: Yeah.

661
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:51,480
Speaker 1: I believe Dan Drayton can be a presence in this league.

662
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:54,640
Speaker 1: I just do. I just need him to do it.

663
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 3: It's a mindset thing.

664
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:58,960
Speaker 1: Six or Celtics guys like it to to. Also. Headed

665
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:01,880
Speaker 1: into Game five, they got a very good look at

666
00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:05,240
Speaker 1: their investment in James Harden. Right two clutch signature James

667
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:09,200
Speaker 1: Harden games. Here's a great step. James Harden was one

668
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:12,280
Speaker 1: for ten on three point attempts in the last thirty

669
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:14,959
Speaker 1: seconds of playoff games going into this series, and he's

670
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:18,120
Speaker 1: nailed two of them to win games and during this series,

671
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:21,600
Speaker 1: so he has changed some of his narrative around. But

672
00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 1: what do you guys think stack, Is this the point

673
00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:27,000
Speaker 1: where if he plays well, the Sixers win or is

674
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:29,400
Speaker 1: this actually on embiid at this point in game five

675
00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 1: to come out and just lay down a monster MVP game.

676
00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:38,000
Speaker 6: Well, just let me say this too, right, I think

677
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:41,240
Speaker 6: I'm not taking away anything from a way for Boston's

678
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:43,120
Speaker 6: coach now, but I think when Emy was dead, they

679
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:45,800
Speaker 6: paid more attention to detail. You know, Emy came from

680
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:48,920
Speaker 6: that Emay came from that San Antonio cloth where I

681
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:51,000
Speaker 6: came out of. And I know how important to Scotland

682
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:53,800
Speaker 6: reports that's sitting on your sitting on your locker coming

683
00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 6: before every game that you have to read to know

684
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:59,480
Speaker 6: every player's tendencies. Right, If you let James Harden go

685
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:02,280
Speaker 6: left to the rim, you gonna get cooked. If you

686
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:04,800
Speaker 6: send them right without staying close and allow him to

687
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:06,479
Speaker 6: step back, you gonna get cooked.

688
00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:09,680
Speaker 7: Jaylen Brown, I'm not leaving alone in the corner, Jaylen Brown.

689
00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:11,640
Speaker 6: You never leave the corner at the end of a

690
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:14,000
Speaker 6: game for a wide open three till the hottest.

691
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:16,720
Speaker 7: Player on the court. Excuse me, bug, you never do that.

692
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:17,840
Speaker 7: You never do that.

693
00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:21,200
Speaker 6: So all those little things like that, Rach is way

694
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:25,600
Speaker 6: more important than Embeid are hard and having a big game.

695
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 6: Boston blew that game. Why did you wait so late

696
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:31,280
Speaker 6: to go for a shot when you down one knowing

697
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:34,040
Speaker 6: that you might need to tip in or an extra shot,

698
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 6: like a lot of those things are showing that the

699
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:38,640
Speaker 6: experience that they showed last year will making it to

700
00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:41,720
Speaker 6: the finals. Under Emake, they lost some of that. They

701
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 6: lost some of that because a lot of the games

702
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 6: that they lost, specially in these playoffs, is because lack

703
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:50,840
Speaker 6: of concentration, lack of plan, attention to detail, and just

704
00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:53,600
Speaker 6: going just playing free basketball and not understanding what's the

705
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:57,480
Speaker 6: stake in the playoffs. Each possession counts. So I'm I'm

706
00:30:57,520 --> 00:31:00,800
Speaker 6: crediting up Ja. James is playing well. He proved me wrong.

707
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:02,840
Speaker 6: I said James couldn't get fort the multiple games in

708
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:05,760
Speaker 6: the playoffs, so I stayed corrected. James is doing that.

709
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:09,000
Speaker 6: But the way Boston is, the way Boston is playing

710
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 6: and not paying attention to detail and giving James Harden

711
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:13,480
Speaker 6: a great score, one of the best scores we've ever seen.

712
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:16,360
Speaker 6: Rates to have to go left and to be able

713
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:18,240
Speaker 6: to go right, and they just giving him whatevery want,

714
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:20,920
Speaker 6: not taking nothing away. I don't see them really were

715
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:23,320
Speaker 6: focused on winning this series and being and paying a

716
00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 6: teaching detailed the way Boston normally has in the playoffs.

717
00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:27,560
Speaker 4: I agree with that.

718
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:32,959
Speaker 5: I think late game execution in ex's and o's and

719
00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:35,880
Speaker 5: I spoke about this song on ESPN the other day,

720
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 5: and we all know that sometimes you take the end

721
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:40,840
Speaker 5: of the game. Sometimes coaches don't want to call time

722
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:42,360
Speaker 5: out because they don't want to allow the defense to

723
00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:44,360
Speaker 5: get set. So you go and you run because you

724
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:46,640
Speaker 5: have players you can trust. And I get that it

725
00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:49,640
Speaker 5: didn't work. If you get that same opportunity again to

726
00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:51,760
Speaker 5: close the game in overtime, you have to call a

727
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:54,440
Speaker 5: fucking timeout, and you have to get your two best

728
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:57,080
Speaker 5: players involved in either Tatum and not that they don't

729
00:31:57,120 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 5: have face in Marcus Smart, because Marcus Smart is a

730
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:02,840
Speaker 5: motherfucking gamer. He's hit big shots his whole career. They

731
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:05,560
Speaker 5: trust him taking those shots. But you want to get

732
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:08,520
Speaker 5: your two best players in a situation that one of

733
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 5: those two guys are going to get the shot, So again,

734
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:14,560
Speaker 5: you want to I kind of gave him a pass

735
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:16,480
Speaker 5: for not calling a timeout at the end of regulation

736
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:18,240
Speaker 5: because there are a lot of coaches in this game,

737
00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:20,040
Speaker 5: Steve Kuby and one of them that I played for

738
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:23,320
Speaker 5: that just go. I got guys out there I can trust, Brown, Smart,

739
00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 5: Tatum have been here. I trust him. I don't want,

740
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 5: you know, seventy six ers to set up on defense.

741
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:31,920
Speaker 5: They got a shot, it didn't go okay. You get

742
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:35,320
Speaker 5: that same opportunity another time in the same game, in

743
00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:38,880
Speaker 5: an overtime situation, you have to call a timeout. So Jack,

744
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 5: I think that's a great point of just Missoula learning

745
00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:42,280
Speaker 5: on the fly.

746
00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:42,760
Speaker 7: He's been.

747
00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:44,800
Speaker 5: He's done a great job this year taking over in

748
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:48,000
Speaker 5: kind of hostile situations, but there's still some learning to

749
00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:50,320
Speaker 5: do on his side, and I think he understands that

750
00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:52,800
Speaker 5: and he'll grow from this. One thing I also wanted

751
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:56,080
Speaker 5: to add was embat is not healthy, and I think

752
00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:58,440
Speaker 5: the only reason why he is playing is because he

753
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:03,720
Speaker 5: was named MVP. He's dragging his leg huh.

754
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:05,080
Speaker 1: And is the playoffs right?

755
00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:07,760
Speaker 5: What's what I'm saying. Well, he's just been named MVP

756
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:10,360
Speaker 5: where he could have been named MVP the few prior years,

757
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:13,160
Speaker 5: and it's the playoffs and now they have a chance

758
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 5: to win. So I think embiid is playing on a

759
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:17,080
Speaker 5: legue and a half, you know what I mean. So

760
00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:19,520
Speaker 5: I think it is crucial for James to continue to

761
00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:23,560
Speaker 5: be partly that dog we saw in Houston, with the

762
00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:26,600
Speaker 5: intelligence that he's shown that he's grown over here with

763
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:28,400
Speaker 5: the seventy six ers, because if you think about it,

764
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:31,360
Speaker 5: everyone used to say, well, you can't win with James

765
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:34,600
Speaker 5: scoring fifty and doing all this shit. So he's just like, Okay,

766
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:37,080
Speaker 5: maybe they're right. I'm gonna change my game. So now

767
00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 5: I'm a twenty one to ten guy. But now you

768
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:40,920
Speaker 5: guys are saying that I don't have it no more.

769
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:43,440
Speaker 5: So I think he just needs to say fuck all

770
00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:46,200
Speaker 5: of us and whoever else is talking out there and

771
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:48,720
Speaker 5: be himself because he is one of the greatest scorers

772
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:51,240
Speaker 5: we've ever seen. But I think he needs to look

773
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:55,200
Speaker 5: for his options because outside of EMBIID, I want James.

774
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:56,960
Speaker 5: If it's not in bed taking a shot, I would

775
00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:59,160
Speaker 5: want James taking a shot. Obviously, we know other guys

776
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:01,280
Speaker 5: have to get going, but James has to be a

777
00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:05,080
Speaker 5: little more selfish and stay aggressive, knowing that EMBIID is

778
00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:06,800
Speaker 5: not fully healthy. EMBIAD is still going to give you

779
00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:08,920
Speaker 5: thirty on a leg and a half, but James has

780
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:10,959
Speaker 5: to be up there. They have to be one of those,

781
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:14,160
Speaker 5: you know, Jokic and Murray d or is there, Kad

782
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:16,560
Speaker 5: and Booker dal was as far as scoring every night,

783
00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:18,120
Speaker 5: those two have to do of the bulk of the

784
00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:20,719
Speaker 5: scoring and hope that some of the others are able

785
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:21,319
Speaker 5: to step up.

786
00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:24,480
Speaker 1: We got a little bit more rest for Joelle before

787
00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:26,920
Speaker 1: this next game because of the early start that they

788
00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:28,360
Speaker 1: had in the last game. It's like a two and

789
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 1: a half day rest. So I don't know, we'll see.

790
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:34,200
Speaker 1: I'm still looking for him. I know. I agree he's

791
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:36,880
Speaker 1: hurt that me is is not good, and there's no

792
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:40,200
Speaker 1: question about that. I'm not expecting miracles, but I do

793
00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:42,799
Speaker 1: think he's the MVP, and he's the leader of that team.

794
00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:44,799
Speaker 1: He's the best player, and I want to see him.

795
00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:46,600
Speaker 1: I want to see him have a monster game. I

796
00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:48,040
Speaker 1: just as a fan of the game, I want to

797
00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:50,160
Speaker 1: see that at some point. So let's get to the

807
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:20,000
Speaker 1: Who do you think is going to show up big

808
00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:23,719
Speaker 1: in the conference semis and give us the highlight worthy moments?

809
00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:26,040
Speaker 1: Who do you think in the next round boogie do

810
00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:28,000
Speaker 1: you feel is going to be the guy that we

811
00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:29,040
Speaker 1: are talking about.

812
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:32,200
Speaker 3: The most East or West?

813
00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:38,120
Speaker 1: All right, know, let's go west, Wes.

814
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:43,680
Speaker 2: I think it'll be somebody. I think I'm gonna go

815
00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:46,920
Speaker 2: with Anthony Davis. I think he's on a tear right now. Defensively,

816
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:50,400
Speaker 2: I think he's pushing his team to new heights. In

817
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:53,200
Speaker 2: some people's eyes, the Lakers are overachieving based on how

818
00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:56,120
Speaker 2: they started the year off. So I can definitely see

819
00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:58,200
Speaker 2: Anthony Davis being that guy in the West, and when

820
00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:01,000
Speaker 2: it comes to the East, gonna go with James Harden.

821
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:03,000
Speaker 2: I think they got a great chance of getting past

822
00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:06,440
Speaker 2: the Boston Celtics team just how they've been playing lately.

823
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:07,320
Speaker 3: Uh.

824
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:08,960
Speaker 2: You know, the health is kind of up and down

825
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:11,879
Speaker 2: with MB so it's gonna force you know, a little

826
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:13,840
Speaker 2: more responsibility on James Harden.

827
00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:14,880
Speaker 7: Uh.

828
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:16,520
Speaker 2: And I think we have a chance to see the

829
00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:18,520
Speaker 2: James Harden the vote where he is coming out just

830
00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:21,399
Speaker 2: playing this game, you know, the thirty point forty point

831
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:23,680
Speaker 2: fifty point triple doubles. I think he, I think, is

832
00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:26,000
Speaker 2: still there. It's just up to him to go out

833
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:28,520
Speaker 2: there and do it. So I'm gonna go with those.

834
00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:30,160
Speaker 1: Two stack the silver approval.

835
00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:33,240
Speaker 7: Uh, that's that's two good picks.

836
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:36,320
Speaker 6: I'll go with. I'm gonna go with I'm gonna go

837
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:40,520
Speaker 6: with Tatum. I think he's due to explode. He's been,

838
00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:42,920
Speaker 6: he's been struggling, he's still trying to figure out. I

839
00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:45,919
Speaker 6: think he's just due to explode Rach and we've seen

840
00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:47,680
Speaker 6: him do that and just go on to tear, So

841
00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:50,440
Speaker 6: I think he's due. But I'm gonna go with Mary

842
00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:53,520
Speaker 6: from Denver. Uh, people ain't been talking about him. You know,

843
00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:56,359
Speaker 6: he's been balling, he's been, he's he's been doing this thing.

844
00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:59,640
Speaker 6: I think this next game he's finna have a real

845
00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:01,440
Speaker 6: break game. I think we're gonna be talking about him.

846
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:02,720
Speaker 6: So I'm gonna go with Tatum and Murray.

847
00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:07,520
Speaker 5: Now, this is this series, right, this is not the

848
00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:11,680
Speaker 5: the Western and Eastern Finals, right, We're talking about this round.

849
00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:12,239
Speaker 7: Yeah.

850
00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:14,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, apparently Nate's.

851
00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:19,400
Speaker 5: Telling me, Okay, Booker for me, I've just been so impressed,

852
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:21,040
Speaker 5: and I think you're so right Booker. I think he's

853
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:23,160
Speaker 5: on the way to be in a superstar, but these

854
00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:24,520
Speaker 5: playoffs are gonna stamp him.

855
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:24,960
Speaker 7: Uh.

856
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:26,480
Speaker 4: He's been absolutely incredible.

857
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:30,920
Speaker 5: Uh consistency shooting a sixty percent from the field type

858
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:35,280
Speaker 5: forty point games is insane. So I got Devin Booker

859
00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:43,160
Speaker 5: on the road, and I just believe in Boston so much.

860
00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:46,480
Speaker 5: I want to say Brown if Jack is gonna go Tatum,

861
00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:48,719
Speaker 5: I want to say Brown because I think he's He's

862
00:37:48,719 --> 00:37:50,239
Speaker 5: one of the best two way players in the game.

863
00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:50,799
Speaker 7: Uh.

864
00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:52,960
Speaker 5: He's always looking to explode players with a game a

865
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:56,360
Speaker 5: lot of confidence. So, and that's not to say that

866
00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:58,200
Speaker 5: I don't believe in Philly, because I really like Philly

867
00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:00,320
Speaker 5: and I'm rooting for them for a lot of different reasons.

868
00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:03,200
Speaker 5: But I'm really a fan of this Boston team in

869
00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:04,319
Speaker 5: the Brown and Tatum duo.

870
00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:07,759
Speaker 1: Look Jalen Brown, despite leaving hard and alone in the

871
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:09,960
Speaker 1: corner at the end of Game four, he has been

872
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:13,600
Speaker 1: Boston's best player this series. So it's a great pick.

873
00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:17,200
Speaker 1: I also want to say Kevin Durant does not get

874
00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:20,319
Speaker 1: enough credit for the multiplier effect. I want every time

875
00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:24,319
Speaker 1: we talk about Devin Booker and how legit amazing he

876
00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:26,799
Speaker 1: has been, and obviously that comes from d book and

877
00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:29,080
Speaker 1: all the work and time he has put in, But

878
00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:31,319
Speaker 1: he said it himself. He does not get half of

879
00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:33,600
Speaker 1: these looks if Kevin Durant was not on the floor

880
00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:36,080
Speaker 1: with him doing all the shit that Kevin Durant does.

881
00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:38,960
Speaker 1: So I'm sorry when we talk about KD and how

882
00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:42,160
Speaker 1: good he is, it goes beyond what he does himself.

883
00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:44,080
Speaker 1: It is the effect on other players, and we are

884
00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:46,359
Speaker 1: seeing it right now with Devin Booker. I just think

885
00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:47,800
Speaker 1: we need to include that in every kind.

886
00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:50,680
Speaker 6: Of and some of them shots book hitting, OKD, ain't

887
00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:52,560
Speaker 6: got nothing to do with it, right, some of those

888
00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:55,680
Speaker 6: shooting I'm with two people that ain't got nothing to

889
00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:56,280
Speaker 6: do with KD.

890
00:38:57,239 --> 00:39:00,399
Speaker 1: I agree, I agree. I'm just saying that it changed.

891
00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:05,200
Speaker 1: Devin Booker wasn't wasn't playing like this in previous playoff series.

892
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:08,200
Speaker 4: In previous series, definitely, I think we touched.

893
00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:11,520
Speaker 5: I think we touched on this on one of these

894
00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:13,520
Speaker 5: What's Burning at the very beginning when book was cooking,

895
00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:14,840
Speaker 5: we called it the KD effect.

896
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:15,880
Speaker 4: Rachel, I think it was.

897
00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:15,960
Speaker 7: It was.

898
00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:18,439
Speaker 5: It might have been just you and I and I

899
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:20,880
Speaker 5: and I agree jack Book still has to make these shots,

900
00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:23,920
Speaker 5: but you got to think most of the time, you're

901
00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:26,759
Speaker 5: probably gonna put your best defender on KD, you know

902
00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:28,879
Speaker 5: what I mean. So although he's gonna get Books still

903
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:30,200
Speaker 5: got to make the ship and make the move.

904
00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:32,279
Speaker 4: The best players normally on KD.

905
00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:35,160
Speaker 5: So I completely agree, and I love and and I

906
00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:37,080
Speaker 5: think we saw this, not to get off track, but

907
00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:38,759
Speaker 5: I think we saw this a little bit when KD

908
00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:42,800
Speaker 5: was with Golden State, where Steph would go off and

909
00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:45,120
Speaker 5: and and obviously Steph is great. This is not taking

910
00:39:45,120 --> 00:39:47,759
Speaker 5: anything away from Steph, but KD is seven feet tall,

911
00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:50,800
Speaker 5: so he probably got the best defense and Steph was

912
00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:53,399
Speaker 5: going off and doing it. And then came when when

913
00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:55,840
Speaker 5: when when when they were able to get into the finals,

914
00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:58,680
Speaker 5: that's when you see KD go on a tear. So

915
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:01,719
Speaker 5: if Book can continue to do this and KDE kind

916
00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:03,719
Speaker 5: of play his part and they be able to get

917
00:40:03,719 --> 00:40:06,880
Speaker 5: through this next round, it's going to be scary because

918
00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:12,600
Speaker 5: that's probably the scariest duo left in the playoffs, those two,

919
00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:15,439
Speaker 5: because those guys could fuck Aradikaby for ninety one game.

920
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:18,120
Speaker 5: I mean, that's how good both those guys are.

921
00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:18,440
Speaker 4: Scoring.

922
00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:21,480
Speaker 5: But I agree, Rachel, it's definitely the KD effect and

923
00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:24,239
Speaker 5: he's not getting the credit because Devin Booker deserves a

924
00:40:24,280 --> 00:40:26,480
Speaker 5: ton of the credit because he's out here cooking. But

925
00:40:27,040 --> 00:40:29,960
Speaker 5: I definitely see that it wasn't like this before KT

926
00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:31,799
Speaker 5: got here. And that's not even a knockout book. It

927
00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:32,560
Speaker 5: just is what it is.

928
00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:34,920
Speaker 1: I just think when we talk about the package of

929
00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:37,680
Speaker 1: what Kevin Durant brings to your team, there's a million

930
00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:39,960
Speaker 1: things we talk about, right, the shot, everything that he

931
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:42,160
Speaker 1: does with the ball, But you also have to talk

932
00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:44,279
Speaker 1: about this. This is a part of his game. Is

933
00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:46,359
Speaker 1: that how much he makes his teammates better and how

934
00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:49,239
Speaker 1: many more opportunities he gives them. We just got to

935
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:50,840
Speaker 1: talk about it when we talk about the package it

Speaker 1: skills that he has because we're seeing it again with

Speaker 1: the Radar, presented by DraftKings, the only sportsbook you need

942
00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:15,480
Speaker 1: this postseason. Wednesday Night's games the Knicks at Home three

943
00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:18,400
Speaker 1: and a half point favorites stack. Do you think New

944
00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:19,640
Speaker 1: York can force a game six?

945
00:41:20,440 --> 00:41:21,880
Speaker 7: Absolutely not.

946
00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:27,040
Speaker 6: Jimmy Butler is gonna go to New York and have

947
00:41:27,080 --> 00:41:28,520
Speaker 6: an unbelievable game.

948
00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:30,080
Speaker 7: It's gonna be one for the age.

949
00:41:30,160 --> 00:41:32,160
Speaker 6: You know, everybody have a big all the stars have

950
00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:34,120
Speaker 6: a big just that big one, that one big game

951
00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:34,800
Speaker 6: in the Garden.

952
00:41:35,120 --> 00:41:38,280
Speaker 7: This is Jimmy's right here, and it's gonna be amazing. Rachel,

953
00:41:38,719 --> 00:41:39,960
Speaker 7: strap your seat belts.

954
00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:42,800
Speaker 4: I think they can.

955
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:46,560
Speaker 5: I think the crowd at the Garden is gonna be

956
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:50,120
Speaker 5: rocking basketball. That'll be the last game of the season

957
00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:53,279
Speaker 5: in the Garden. I think they'll be able to get

958
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:58,000
Speaker 5: it back to Miami. But I think when the bus

959
00:41:58,040 --> 00:42:00,319
Speaker 5: gets back to Miami, just bring an X your bag

960
00:42:00,360 --> 00:42:04,600
Speaker 5: because you can start your vacation after Game six. But

961
00:42:04,680 --> 00:42:06,600
Speaker 5: I think that they can. I think the Knicks can.

962
00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:09,520
Speaker 5: I think the Knicks can get it back to Miami,

963
00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:11,200
Speaker 5: but I think the bustle stopped there. But because I

964
00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:13,279
Speaker 5: know the Garden is going to be rocking. Uh, these

965
00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:14,880
Speaker 5: guys understand they want to put on in front of

966
00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:16,680
Speaker 5: their home crowd, and I think they will. Even if

967
00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:18,640
Speaker 5: Jimmy has a good game or a big game, which

968
00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:21,879
Speaker 5: he he has these entire playoffs. I think the Knicks

969
00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:23,440
Speaker 5: can get it back to Miami, but just bring an

970
00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:26,520
Speaker 5: extra suitcase, uh, and just start your vacation after game six?

971
00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:29,520
Speaker 1: What going on this?

972
00:42:29,600 --> 00:42:33,560
Speaker 2: And I think, I think the Knicks. But yeah, it's

973
00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:35,840
Speaker 2: definitely time to pack your bags when you get to Miami.

974
00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:38,400
Speaker 2: The Caribbean is about an hour flight from Miami.

975
00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:40,880
Speaker 4: So what I'm saying, there's a lot of little islands.

976
00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:42,800
Speaker 4: There's a lot of little islands right from Miami.

977
00:42:42,840 --> 00:42:45,120
Speaker 1: You can go to go to Puerto Rico, go go,

978
00:42:45,120 --> 00:42:52,160
Speaker 1: go see right there.

979
00:42:52,719 --> 00:42:57,080
Speaker 2: I think sooner than we think, Like like you said earlier,

980
00:42:57,080 --> 00:43:00,960
Speaker 2: Miami is just flat out dominated the Knicks, so I

981
00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:02,400
Speaker 2: don't expect anything different.

982
00:43:03,280 --> 00:43:05,080
Speaker 1: All Right, it's good to the other game of Wednesday,

983
00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:09,120
Speaker 1: Lakers Warriors Golden State is six point favorites. I actually

984
00:43:09,160 --> 00:43:12,040
Speaker 1: couldn't believe six point favorites. I know they're at home.

985
00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:14,560
Speaker 1: Matter you're surprised, first of all at the odds, and

986
00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:16,440
Speaker 1: also do you believe that that's accurate?

987
00:43:17,719 --> 00:43:19,560
Speaker 5: I don't get you know, I've been looking at these

988
00:43:19,600 --> 00:43:22,440
Speaker 5: odds of late because I've been doing more in game commentating,

989
00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:23,520
Speaker 5: and it's so crazy.

990
00:43:23,560 --> 00:43:25,640
Speaker 4: These odd Makers are so fucking good, Like.

991
00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:26,080
Speaker 7: How do they know?

992
00:43:27,040 --> 00:43:30,239
Speaker 5: Like how did they know these scores? It's crazy to me,

993
00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:32,920
Speaker 5: But yeah, I do have I do have the Warriors

994
00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:35,120
Speaker 5: going back to the crib and just taking it one

995
00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:37,440
Speaker 5: game at a time. Although this is supposed to be

996
00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:40,120
Speaker 5: the game that Ad explodes offensively, so they need to

997
00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:43,319
Speaker 5: watch out. But I feel like going back home, you

998
00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:45,640
Speaker 5: know some of their players that had off nights, we'll

999
00:43:45,640 --> 00:43:48,000
Speaker 5: get back on. We would love to see Jordan Poole

1000
00:43:48,040 --> 00:43:50,760
Speaker 5: find his rhythm. And I think the Golden State takes

1001
00:43:50,760 --> 00:43:52,799
Speaker 5: this one game at a time. Their goal is to

1002
00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:55,839
Speaker 5: win it home, get it back to LA and then

1003
00:43:55,880 --> 00:43:58,799
Speaker 5: get it back to the Bay if they possibly can.

1004
00:43:59,040 --> 00:44:01,600
Speaker 5: And like I've been saying the Lakers, if they're going

1005
00:44:01,640 --> 00:44:03,640
Speaker 5: to win this series, they need to end it next

1006
00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:06,040
Speaker 5: game or in six games, because if it goes seven games,

1007
00:44:06,080 --> 00:44:09,920
Speaker 5: I just feel like, you know, the Warriors pace and

1008
00:44:10,080 --> 00:44:14,600
Speaker 5: experience is going to override the Lakers' length and ability.

1009
00:44:15,600 --> 00:44:18,160
Speaker 1: Well that's interesting too, because the pressure changes a little bit,

1010
00:44:18,239 --> 00:44:21,640
Speaker 1: right the Warriors if they win the next game, especially

1011
00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:25,040
Speaker 1: if they have a big game, Right, everybody knows where

1012
00:44:25,080 --> 00:44:27,719
Speaker 1: Game seven is, right, So Boogie, do you think that

1013
00:44:27,800 --> 00:44:29,560
Speaker 1: the Lakers will start to get a little tight if

1014
00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:31,399
Speaker 1: they do get it to If the Warriors can get

1015
00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:32,920
Speaker 1: it to a game six, do you think then the

1016
00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:34,759
Speaker 1: Lakers can feel a little tight at home being like,

1017
00:44:34,760 --> 00:44:36,279
Speaker 1: oh my god, we have this is our game seven.

1018
00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:37,120
Speaker 1: We gotta win this one.

1019
00:44:37,160 --> 00:44:39,759
Speaker 3: Absolutely. This is a dangerous Warriors thing.

1020
00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:43,000
Speaker 2: We've said it time and time again, and when it

1021
00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:45,440
Speaker 2: comes to the Warriors, the series isn't over until it's

1022
00:44:45,480 --> 00:44:48,320
Speaker 2: actually over. So as long as these guys have life

1023
00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:51,120
Speaker 2: and fight, it's a chance for them to win it.

1024
00:44:52,239 --> 00:44:54,600
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure everybody in the Warriors' locker room is

1025
00:44:54,640 --> 00:44:56,560
Speaker 2: confident that they can come back and make a run

1026
00:44:57,080 --> 00:44:59,480
Speaker 2: and win this series. And I'm pretty sure everybody in

1027
00:44:59,480 --> 00:45:02,960
Speaker 2: that Lakers locker rooms on their toes and sense of

1028
00:45:03,080 --> 00:45:05,080
Speaker 2: urgency is flowing through that locker room like we need

1029
00:45:05,120 --> 00:45:08,440
Speaker 2: to get this game sealed and done. So it's definitely

1030
00:45:08,480 --> 00:45:11,879
Speaker 2: a danger there. And you know, the Warriors are the Warriors.

1031
00:45:11,920 --> 00:45:13,640
Speaker 2: They have a chance that coming back and win it.

1032
00:45:13,680 --> 00:45:15,000
Speaker 2: So it is what it is.

1033
00:45:15,320 --> 00:45:19,239
Speaker 5: And also remember this corps has come back from three

1034
00:45:19,280 --> 00:45:22,600
Speaker 5: to run against Oklahoma City but also lost a three

1035
00:45:22,719 --> 00:45:25,239
Speaker 5: one to Lebron in Cleveland, So I think there's a

1036
00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:27,560
Speaker 5: little bit of understanding like, hey, we've been here before,

1037
00:45:27,760 --> 00:45:30,240
Speaker 5: we can do it again. But let's get this motherfucker

1038
00:45:30,280 --> 00:45:32,840
Speaker 5: bron back. We should have another championship, you know what

1039
00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:34,560
Speaker 5: I mean. So I think there's a lot and a

1040
00:45:34,560 --> 00:45:37,680
Speaker 5: lot of confidence, not arrogance, but a lot of confidence

1041
00:45:37,680 --> 00:45:39,840
Speaker 5: for their core three guys to get the rest of

1042
00:45:39,880 --> 00:45:40,600
Speaker 5: their team ready.

1043
00:45:42,200 --> 00:45:44,120
Speaker 1: All right, we're gonna get to the All NBA teams

1044
00:45:44,120 --> 00:45:47,160
Speaker 1: because they're being announced on Wednesday as well. Stack, I

1045
00:45:47,160 --> 00:45:49,400
Speaker 1: want you to go first. Who were your choices for

1046
00:45:49,480 --> 00:45:53,640
Speaker 1: first Team All NBA. You're supposed to put in two guards,

1047
00:45:53,640 --> 00:45:55,960
Speaker 1: two forwards in the center. Although remember a lot of

1048
00:45:55,960 --> 00:45:59,040
Speaker 1: guys are listed at multiple positions, and I will say

1049
00:45:59,120 --> 00:46:01,680
Speaker 1: I will reveal my because I was a voter this year.

1050
00:46:02,320 --> 00:46:05,480
Speaker 1: I do feel like the game is positionless right now.

1051
00:46:05,520 --> 00:46:07,840
Speaker 1: We certainly see guys the reason they're listed in multiple

1052
00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:10,680
Speaker 1: positions is because they play multiple positions. So to me,

1053
00:46:10,880 --> 00:46:12,719
Speaker 1: three of the best players in the game this year

1054
00:46:12,800 --> 00:46:17,480
Speaker 1: were Yannis Jokic and Embiid, and they all made my

1055
00:46:17,719 --> 00:46:20,399
Speaker 1: first Team All NBA because they were available to put

1056
00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:22,840
Speaker 1: in those spots. And I thought they were three of

1057
00:46:22,880 --> 00:46:24,959
Speaker 1: the five best players in the game. So I'll start

1058
00:46:24,960 --> 00:46:27,040
Speaker 1: with you, though, Stack, who would you put in your list?

1059
00:46:27,280 --> 00:46:37,680
Speaker 7: So I would go I would go Jannis and be Jokic, Darien.

1060
00:46:37,440 --> 00:46:41,080
Speaker 4: Fox Ooh, first team, I like it.

1061
00:46:41,400 --> 00:46:46,279
Speaker 7: Yeah? Uh were talking about regular season, right, yeah?

1062
00:46:46,320 --> 00:46:48,200
Speaker 1: Regular season? And this is the one where you pay

1063
00:46:48,360 --> 00:46:49,680
Speaker 1: to me, this is the one where I pay the

1064
00:46:49,680 --> 00:46:52,520
Speaker 1: most attention to. How many games did they play?

1065
00:46:52,880 --> 00:46:53,120
Speaker 7: Right?

1066
00:46:53,320 --> 00:46:53,600
Speaker 2: Were there?

1067
00:46:53,640 --> 00:46:55,879
Speaker 1: What was their actual performance? I think when we get

1068
00:46:55,880 --> 00:46:58,839
Speaker 1: into like Defensive Player of the Year or MVP, it's

1069
00:46:58,880 --> 00:47:00,960
Speaker 1: a little bit the criteria get a little bit more

1070
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:03,360
Speaker 1: about what impact did you have on the game? But

1071
00:47:03,480 --> 00:47:05,319
Speaker 1: for all NBA, to me, it is a little bit

1072
00:47:05,360 --> 00:47:08,000
Speaker 1: more statistics driven of sort of what did you do

1073
00:47:08,160 --> 00:47:09,200
Speaker 1: out on the floor this year?

1074
00:47:10,760 --> 00:47:16,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, and Rach, when you're considering that, do you consider

1075
00:47:16,640 --> 00:47:19,600
Speaker 5: their team positioning? I mean you're someone who votes. I've

1076
00:47:19,600 --> 00:47:22,040
Speaker 5: never really taken it serious. Do you consider what their

1077
00:47:22,080 --> 00:47:23,680
Speaker 5: team did to or not that matter?

1078
00:47:25,360 --> 00:47:27,600
Speaker 1: I do, but not again, not as much with this

1079
00:47:27,680 --> 00:47:29,719
Speaker 1: So with MVP, with Defensive Player of the Year, with

1080
00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:32,239
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. For me, how their team did

1081
00:47:32,480 --> 00:47:34,520
Speaker 1: matters to me, right, what impact they had on the

1082
00:47:34,520 --> 00:47:36,279
Speaker 1: game matters to me, even if they didn't play as

1083
00:47:36,280 --> 00:47:38,839
Speaker 1: many games. To me, if we're talking about an MVP

1084
00:47:38,960 --> 00:47:42,280
Speaker 1: discussion or most Improved or any of those, the impact

1085
00:47:42,280 --> 00:47:43,800
Speaker 1: when you were out on the floor matters to me

1086
00:47:43,960 --> 00:47:46,319
Speaker 1: for all NBA. For me, and look, every voter does

1087
00:47:46,320 --> 00:47:48,600
Speaker 1: things differently, and that's part of why we have controversy.

1088
00:47:48,920 --> 00:47:51,640
Speaker 1: But for me, when we talk about all NBA, to me,

1089
00:47:51,760 --> 00:47:54,719
Speaker 1: that's really the record of what happened in this particular

1090
00:47:54,800 --> 00:47:58,160
Speaker 1: season with your individual performance. I'll give you, guys an example.

1091
00:47:58,560 --> 00:48:01,120
Speaker 1: One of my guards on first Teamba with Shay Gilder's

1092
00:48:01,120 --> 00:48:05,799
Speaker 1: Alexandy because his numbers were ridiculous and what he was

1093
00:48:05,840 --> 00:48:08,760
Speaker 1: able to do this season was ridiculous, and of course

1094
00:48:08,800 --> 00:48:11,359
Speaker 1: the thunder did not finish at the top of the NBA.

1095
00:48:11,480 --> 00:48:14,120
Speaker 1: But to me, he deserved that All NBA slot as

1096
00:48:14,120 --> 00:48:16,200
Speaker 1: opposed to a guard on a team that did better

1097
00:48:16,280 --> 00:48:18,879
Speaker 1: but did not put out the individual performance that he did.

1098
00:48:18,880 --> 00:48:22,160
Speaker 1: So that's how I look at all NBA, and everyone

1099
00:48:22,200 --> 00:48:24,200
Speaker 1: does it differently. A lot of people I am in

1100
00:48:24,239 --> 00:48:27,440
Speaker 1: the minority of putting Jokic, Embiide and Yanis all on

1101
00:48:27,480 --> 00:48:29,480
Speaker 1: the first team. Most people will say, you could only

1102
00:48:29,480 --> 00:48:30,879
Speaker 1: put two of those guys, and you got to put

1103
00:48:30,880 --> 00:48:33,440
Speaker 1: at least one into the second team. But to me,

1104
00:48:33,880 --> 00:48:35,799
Speaker 1: it is a positionless game a lot at the time,

1105
00:48:35,840 --> 00:48:38,919
Speaker 1: they're listed at both positions. I'm using that up to say,

1106
00:48:38,960 --> 00:48:42,160
Speaker 1: these guys had the best individual seasons, I'm putting them

1107
00:48:42,160 --> 00:48:44,360
Speaker 1: on first team All NBA. So everyone's a little bit different.

1108
00:48:44,400 --> 00:48:47,520
Speaker 1: But that's an example of how I did the guard slot.

1109
00:48:46,520 --> 00:48:48,960
Speaker 3: I got, I got my list raised, I'm ready to go.

1110
00:48:49,840 --> 00:48:54,600
Speaker 2: All right, what you got you want to say, Dean Jokics,

1111
00:48:55,000 --> 00:48:58,319
Speaker 2: mb Yannis, that's first team all the NBA.

1112
00:48:58,560 --> 00:48:58,840
Speaker 1: Nice.

1113
00:49:00,400 --> 00:49:02,799
Speaker 4: Nice, So say say it against Shaye.

1114
00:49:05,200 --> 00:49:07,200
Speaker 3: Mbid. First thing.

1115
00:49:09,280 --> 00:49:09,880
Speaker 7: I'm going to know.

1116
00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:13,560
Speaker 6: I'm going to those four and I'm adding Tatum.

1117
00:49:13,560 --> 00:49:16,360
Speaker 1: So right, So Tatum is Tatum is gonna definitely be

1118
00:49:16,360 --> 00:49:19,480
Speaker 1: in a lot of people's first team ballots. Luka Doncic

1119
00:49:19,600 --> 00:49:20,959
Speaker 1: is going to be in a lot of people's first

1120
00:49:20,960 --> 00:49:23,880
Speaker 1: team ballots because, again, despite how the team finished, his

1121
00:49:23,960 --> 00:49:25,920
Speaker 1: individual performance this year was sick.

1122
00:49:26,520 --> 00:49:27,080
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1123
00:49:27,280 --> 00:49:30,439
Speaker 5: So my here goes my seven and I'm gonna put

1124
00:49:30,440 --> 00:49:34,520
Speaker 5: five of them in. So I got Steph, Tatum, Giannis, Embiid, Joker,

1125
00:49:35,200 --> 00:49:39,960
Speaker 5: Luca and Booker. So I'm gonna put out of those five,

1126
00:49:40,320 --> 00:49:43,280
Speaker 5: I got to put two on the second team. Yes,

1127
00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:46,280
Speaker 5: and I think, unfortunately, I'm gonna have to move Booker

1128
00:49:46,440 --> 00:49:51,360
Speaker 5: and Joker to the second team, and I don't know

1129
00:49:51,400 --> 00:49:56,000
Speaker 5: if Steph is gonna make first team. I mean, I

1130
00:49:56,000 --> 00:49:56,840
Speaker 5: don't know if he'll make that.

1131
00:49:57,239 --> 00:49:59,480
Speaker 1: You didn't play that's again and again missed a lot

1132
00:49:59,480 --> 00:50:01,640
Speaker 1: of games until he missed a lot of games. Yeah,

1133
00:50:02,000 --> 00:50:03,720
Speaker 1: did you played fifty six games this season?

1134
00:50:04,040 --> 00:50:09,160
Speaker 4: You're right, that's tough. Yeah, Actually, all right, Steph.

1135
00:50:09,920 --> 00:50:13,000
Speaker 1: But here's what's interesting. So Steph did make one of

1136
00:50:13,040 --> 00:50:16,120
Speaker 1: my later teams, and the way the voting is supposed

1137
00:50:16,160 --> 00:50:18,880
Speaker 1: to be, it's been reported in the new CBA, is

1138
00:50:18,880 --> 00:50:20,880
Speaker 1: that you wouldn't even be allowed to vote for Steph

1139
00:50:21,200 --> 00:50:23,440
Speaker 1: because the reporting is that you've had a minimum of

1140
00:50:23,440 --> 00:50:25,440
Speaker 1: sixty five games, and a ton of guys who are

1141
00:50:25,440 --> 00:50:28,120
Speaker 1: going to make these three All NBA teams wouldn't even

1142
00:50:28,160 --> 00:50:30,080
Speaker 1: be allowed to be voted for. So I think it's

1143
00:50:30,080 --> 00:50:32,200
Speaker 1: going to be very interesting when we do get the

1144
00:50:32,200 --> 00:50:35,080
Speaker 1: final results later this week to see how many of

1145
00:50:35,120 --> 00:50:37,640
Speaker 1: the guys on the three All NBA teams wouldn't even

1146
00:50:37,680 --> 00:50:40,479
Speaker 1: be in contention and off the board, which I think,

1147
00:50:40,719 --> 00:50:43,440
Speaker 1: to me, those minimums are a mistake. I don't I

1148
00:50:43,480 --> 00:50:45,719
Speaker 1: don't think this was a good decision by the NBA.

1149
00:50:45,840 --> 00:50:47,799
Speaker 1: I know that they're trying to get guys to rest less,

1150
00:50:47,800 --> 00:50:49,960
Speaker 1: but I'm not sure that that's actually gonna matter. I

1151
00:50:49,960 --> 00:50:51,560
Speaker 1: think when it comes down to it, whether you make

1152
00:50:51,600 --> 00:50:52,920
Speaker 1: All NBA at the end of the year or not

1153
00:50:53,040 --> 00:50:54,480
Speaker 1: is not going to affect whether you play a game

1154
00:50:54,480 --> 00:50:57,719
Speaker 1: in January. And uh, yeah, I don't know. I think

1155
00:50:57,719 --> 00:50:59,600
Speaker 1: that it's just going to take away from the stars

1156
00:50:59,640 --> 00:51:00,759
Speaker 1: getting to be stars.

1157
00:51:00,920 --> 00:51:01,239
Speaker 7: All right.

1158
00:51:01,239 --> 00:51:06,160
Speaker 5: I got my five, change me Shaye Tatum, Giannis embiid Luca.

1159
00:51:06,680 --> 00:51:08,840
Speaker 1: Okay, and then who are you putting? You put in

1160
00:51:09,080 --> 00:51:10,440
Speaker 1: Jokich on the second team?

1161
00:51:10,520 --> 00:51:12,320
Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, him and Booker.

1162
00:51:12,480 --> 00:51:14,880
Speaker 5: I love that Fox got some first team mentions. Uh,

1163
00:51:14,960 --> 00:51:17,719
Speaker 5: definitely because he was a killer. But yeah, I think

1164
00:51:17,719 --> 00:51:19,600
Speaker 5: he'll probably be a second or third team this year.

1165
00:51:20,800 --> 00:51:22,879
Speaker 5: I have a question for the group, if we're talking

1166
00:51:22,960 --> 00:51:26,120
Speaker 5: just straight regular season. Is Brunson an All NBA performer?

1167
00:51:27,000 --> 00:51:28,880
Speaker 1: Let's see, I'm looking at my list here. I do

1168
00:51:28,960 --> 00:51:32,120
Speaker 1: not have him, I had on the second team. I had.

1169
00:51:31,920 --> 00:51:34,040
Speaker 1: I put Tatum on the second team, which I know

1170
00:51:34,400 --> 00:51:37,040
Speaker 1: producer Nate is having a heart attack over here, but

1171
00:51:37,120 --> 00:51:41,560
Speaker 1: I put Tatum and Jimmy Butler Demonta Sebonis, Uh, Donovan

1172
00:51:41,600 --> 00:51:43,400
Speaker 1: Mitchell and Damian Lillard on my second.

1173
00:51:43,320 --> 00:51:50,600
Speaker 2: I have a better year than Donovan Mitchell. So Jalen, Yeah, Jalen,

1174
00:51:51,160 --> 00:51:52,920
Speaker 2: I don't see Jaylen making when on Ye.

1175
00:51:56,640 --> 00:51:57,440
Speaker 7: It was just a question.

1176
00:51:57,560 --> 00:52:00,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I can't. I can't see him being put above.

1177
00:52:01,280 --> 00:52:04,080
Speaker 2: You know some of the other Dame I forgot, Dame

1178
00:52:04,120 --> 00:52:05,680
Speaker 2: had a few fifty balls this year.

1179
00:52:07,920 --> 00:52:10,120
Speaker 4: Your Dame average a career high, didn't he Dame average

1180
00:52:10,120 --> 00:52:10,439
Speaker 4: like thirty?

1181
00:52:11,400 --> 00:52:14,080
Speaker 3: On my second team, he could possibly be first thing.

1182
00:52:16,360 --> 00:52:20,279
Speaker 5: Yeah right, we're talking just regular season. I can't forget Luca.

1183
00:52:20,480 --> 00:52:20,920
Speaker 3: I forget.

1184
00:52:20,960 --> 00:52:22,960
Speaker 5: You can't forget Shay. I think Rachie made a great point.

1185
00:52:23,000 --> 00:52:24,200
Speaker 5: Sh Shaye killed this year.

1186
00:52:25,600 --> 00:52:29,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, he was first team for me. So he's

1187
00:52:29,040 --> 00:52:31,399
Speaker 1: gonna be good. It's gonna be very interesting because also

1188
00:52:31,440 --> 00:52:33,440
Speaker 1: you all know that contract numbers are tied to all

1189
00:52:33,520 --> 00:52:36,680
Speaker 1: NBA too, So I am I am very curious how

1190
00:52:36,680 --> 00:52:39,400
Speaker 1: this experiment and the NBA and the Players Association is

1191
00:52:39,440 --> 00:52:41,160
Speaker 1: going to work out with these minimums, because I think

1192
00:52:41,200 --> 00:52:43,720
Speaker 1: you're going to see the all NBA teams in the future.

1193
00:52:43,760 --> 00:52:46,360
Speaker 1: This might be the last year these teams announced Wednesday

1194
00:52:46,600 --> 00:52:49,240
Speaker 1: might be the last year, we see true all NBA teams,

1195
00:52:49,520 --> 00:52:51,000
Speaker 1: and then from now on it might just be a

1196
00:52:51,120 --> 00:52:53,560
Speaker 1: playing a contest of how many games did you play?

1197
00:52:53,600 --> 00:52:54,839
Speaker 3: But we'll see.

1198
00:52:55,040 --> 00:52:57,360
Speaker 1: I don't know, Buggy. Thank you so much for joining

1199
00:52:57,480 --> 00:53:00,319
Speaker 1: us all the way from Puerto Rico. Good luck on you, you're.

1200
00:53:03,680 --> 00:53:03,919
Speaker 7: Rach.

1201
00:53:04,120 --> 00:53:07,080
Speaker 4: I wanted to say something real quick before we bounce. Obviously, Boogie,

1202
00:53:07,160 --> 00:53:07,680
Speaker 4: good luck.

1203
00:53:08,239 --> 00:53:10,359
Speaker 5: If I wasn't engaged, i'd be your roommate out there

1204
00:53:10,400 --> 00:53:12,120
Speaker 5: right now, and I wouldn't be playing. I'd just be

1205
00:53:12,600 --> 00:53:15,160
Speaker 5: moving them in and out for us. But I'm engaged,

1206
00:53:15,719 --> 00:53:17,839
Speaker 5: so I can't do that for you. But I really

1207
00:53:17,880 --> 00:53:22,240
Speaker 5: just wanted to say something to the younger players pool Aiden,

1208
00:53:22,800 --> 00:53:24,080
Speaker 5: even Dylan Brooks.

1209
00:53:23,719 --> 00:53:25,640
Speaker 4: And and and.

1210
00:53:25,080 --> 00:53:27,480
Speaker 5: Because I never wanted to be an older dude that

1211
00:53:27,600 --> 00:53:30,120
Speaker 5: sat back and bash younger guys. And I think none

1212
00:53:30,160 --> 00:53:32,319
Speaker 5: of us wanted, like, that's not what we're about. I

1213
00:53:32,360 --> 00:53:34,000
Speaker 5: just feel like all of us came in the game

1214
00:53:34,080 --> 00:53:37,360
Speaker 5: and unfortunately, Boogie, you never had an og VET, but

1215
00:53:37,560 --> 00:53:40,800
Speaker 5: some of these younger guys just I think we're saying

1216
00:53:40,840 --> 00:53:42,400
Speaker 5: what a VET would pull you to the side and

1217
00:53:42,400 --> 00:53:45,759
Speaker 5: say quietly, like to your face, like eye to eye,

1218
00:53:45,840 --> 00:53:48,400
Speaker 5: so you understood exactly what we were saying. You know

1219
00:53:48,400 --> 00:53:49,719
Speaker 5: what I mean, we all came in the game with

1220
00:53:49,760 --> 00:53:52,759
Speaker 5: some real ogs. You know that they put their arm

1221
00:53:52,840 --> 00:53:56,359
Speaker 5: around us. So it's not that, you know, we want

1222
00:53:56,360 --> 00:53:57,920
Speaker 5: to sit up here and ship on you guys. But

1223
00:53:57,960 --> 00:54:01,200
Speaker 5: it's just like this new era feels like they don't

1224
00:54:01,200 --> 00:54:03,160
Speaker 5: have to talk to the media. They make a ton

1225
00:54:03,200 --> 00:54:06,520
Speaker 5: of money. It's all about them. It's not about the team,

1226
00:54:06,880 --> 00:54:09,360
Speaker 5: and it's you know, as players removed. Would you just

1227
00:54:09,440 --> 00:54:10,799
Speaker 5: kind of look at it and wish, like, damn, if

1228
00:54:10,840 --> 00:54:12,160
Speaker 5: he was a little bit older, I think he would

1229
00:54:12,160 --> 00:54:14,000
Speaker 5: see it different. Or if he had someone that he

1230
00:54:14,080 --> 00:54:17,120
Speaker 5: trusted in his corner, you know, Dylan Brooks if he

1231
00:54:17,200 --> 00:54:19,160
Speaker 5: has someone he respected, and John Moran if they has that.

1232
00:54:19,239 --> 00:54:20,879
Speaker 5: And that's not to say they don't respect Steven Adams.

1233
00:54:20,880 --> 00:54:22,400
Speaker 5: I just don't know the situation, but it looks like

1234
00:54:22,440 --> 00:54:23,960
Speaker 5: that was one of the teams that needed a bet

1235
00:54:23,960 --> 00:54:26,000
Speaker 5: to be able to pool some of these younger guys aside, Like, yo,

1236
00:54:26,400 --> 00:54:28,279
Speaker 5: you guys are great, you guys are this, but this

1237
00:54:28,320 --> 00:54:29,280
Speaker 5: is where we need to focus.

1238
00:54:29,600 --> 00:54:29,799
Speaker 7: You know.

1239
00:54:29,880 --> 00:54:33,399
Speaker 5: Obviously it's hard to say because Dre is a great

1240
00:54:33,480 --> 00:54:35,399
Speaker 5: leader and we've heard nothing about him, but him being

1241
00:54:35,400 --> 00:54:37,279
Speaker 5: a great leader the whole time he's been at Golden State,

1242
00:54:37,320 --> 00:54:39,080
Speaker 5: but obviously that situation early.

1243
00:54:38,920 --> 00:54:41,240
Speaker 4: In the season is kind of lost.

1244
00:54:41,360 --> 00:54:43,040
Speaker 5: I don't know if he's lost his touch with the

1245
00:54:43,040 --> 00:54:44,919
Speaker 5: rest of the team, but he's definitely lost his touch

1246
00:54:44,960 --> 00:54:47,080
Speaker 5: with someone like Jordan Poole, who I feel like if

1247
00:54:47,080 --> 00:54:49,400
Speaker 5: that incident never happened, Draymond would be able to put

1248
00:54:49,480 --> 00:54:52,200
Speaker 5: him in a little choke hold, but talk.

1249
00:54:52,040 --> 00:54:53,680
Speaker 4: To him like, bro, this is what we need, you

1250
00:54:53,680 --> 00:54:54,560
Speaker 4: know what I mean? And then Aiden.

1251
00:54:54,600 --> 00:54:56,279
Speaker 5: Aiden's always kind of been a wild card and there

1252
00:54:56,280 --> 00:54:58,279
Speaker 5: hasn't really necessarily been a bet there that's kind of

1253
00:54:58,280 --> 00:54:58,840
Speaker 5: been able.

1254
00:54:58,640 --> 00:54:59,279
Speaker 4: To game him.

1255
00:54:59,760 --> 00:55:01,680
Speaker 5: So when we talk on these shows, this not to

1256
00:55:01,719 --> 00:55:03,759
Speaker 5: ship on these younger guys or even to try to

1257
00:55:04,200 --> 00:55:07,120
Speaker 5: talk doubt about them, because they're all very talented players.

1258
00:55:07,520 --> 00:55:10,640
Speaker 5: We're just telling you, in our days, what would have

1259
00:55:10,640 --> 00:55:12,480
Speaker 5: pulled you to the side and looked you straighten your

1260
00:55:12,480 --> 00:55:14,719
Speaker 5: motherfucking eyeballs and told you. It wouldn't have been in

1261
00:55:14,800 --> 00:55:17,279
Speaker 5: the media, it wouldn't have been nowhere. The bet would

1262
00:55:17,320 --> 00:55:19,080
Speaker 5: have just told you right to your face. And I

1263
00:55:19,080 --> 00:55:21,240
Speaker 5: think it would help some of these younger guys.

1264
00:55:21,960 --> 00:55:24,160
Speaker 7: Truth sound like hate The people hate the truth, bro.

1265
00:55:28,280 --> 00:55:33,920
Speaker 1: That's why teams need guys like Boogie Cousins. Right, we go?
