16
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 3: we'll discuss Lawrence Frank winning Executive of the Year that

17
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:07,320
Speaker 3: fired up a lot of people. I couldn't believe how

18
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 3: many people were upset with Lawrence Frank winning. Eoy. Well,

19
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 3: actually look ahead to next year's title odds, but first

20
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 3: we're breaking down I think it's safe to say one

21
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 3: of the best NBA Finals games of recent memory. You

22
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,400
Speaker 3: tell me if I'm wrong. Gentlemen. But the NBA Finals,

23
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 3: Miami's titles chances, they're not over yet. Thanks to Jimmy Butler,

24
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 3: mister work hard and be the man was just that.

25
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 3: Thirty five points, twelve boards, eleven assists, five steals. He

26
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 3: hold off LA one eleven, one to eight to cut

27
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,480
Speaker 3: the Lakers series lead to three to two. We will

28
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:40,679
Speaker 3: have a game six, tass. What's your big takeaway from again?

29
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:42,039
Speaker 3: This pretty epic game five?

30
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 4: A ridiculously great game. Yeah, definitely the best finals game

31
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 4: in several years, whether you consider twenty sixteen or twenty

32
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 4: thirteen one of the better games. But this one had

33
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 4: something that those didn't. Both superstars on both teams throwing

34
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 4: haymakers down the stretch and not missing. They did not

35
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 4: disappoint down the stretch.

36
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 1: It was so so fun.

37
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:10,800
Speaker 4: Those lousy NBA ratings reports turn them sideways and stick

38
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 4: them straight up your candy ass.

39
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 1: This game. This game was so.

40
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 4: I love, good love a good rock reference from back

41
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 4: in the day, not not these oh I'm a good

42
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,360
Speaker 4: guy new rock references. Let's go, let's go back old

43
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 4: school rock when he was real PG. But uh, Jimmy

44
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 4: Butller going right at Anthony Davis was something new in

45
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 4: this series, even though he's been really really good throughout

46
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 4: the playoffs. H and he took it a little bit

47
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 4: to the defensive player of the Year and Jannetzoombo going

48
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:46,920
Speaker 4: at Anthony Davis possession after possession after possession. It just

49
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 4: didn't happen earlier in the series. It looked like the

50
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 4: Heat were kind of struggling a little bit in Game

51
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 4: four to solve that, but Jimmy just said, screw it,

52
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 4: I need to do this, and so that performance was phenomenal.

53
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 4: And on the other side, Lebron obviously gave it his all.

54
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:04,959
Speaker 4: And you know, I don't know if we want to

55
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 4: get into this right now, if we want to continue

56
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 4: our opening arguments wherever you want to take this skeets,

57
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:13,679
Speaker 4: but Lebron made the absolutely right play going to Danny Green,

58
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 4: even though the Internet said it wasn't the right play.

59
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 4: It's just that Mark if Morris grabbed that offensive rebound

60
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:21,959
Speaker 4: and shot put it out of bounds when he had

61
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 4: four guys to pass that were wide.

62
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 3: Over or shoot it himsel it that he wanted to, really.

63
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, and that was probably closer to a shot than

64
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:32,239
Speaker 4: it was a pass for that thing for Anthony Davis,

65
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 4: so that that stunk, and we would all be talking

66
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 4: about Lebron's pass out to Danny Green a lot differently

67
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 4: if Mark if Morris just passed it to another guy

68
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 4: and somebody hit the shot, because everybody was freaking wide open.

69
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 4: But this had it all and guys performing at the

70
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 4: end was this was epic. And I'm glad for the

71
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 4: Miami Heat that we're going to a game six here

72
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 4: because it just it solidifies what they've done here in

73
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 4: the bubble, and it it would have been a little

74
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 4: bit easier to dismiss people or dismiss their effort if

75
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 4: they went to just five games, people saying, oh, it's

76
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 4: the bubble. A five seed couldn't make it to the

77
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 4: NBA Finals in a regular situation. Well, Jimmy didn't just

78
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:16,280
Speaker 4: give us that one performance in Game three, now the

79
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:18,279
Speaker 4: second one in Game five, and he just needs a

80
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 4: little more help, a little more help in game six,

81
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,599
Speaker 4: and that's why he's begging for Goran Dragish to come back.

82
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 1: But man, he's made this a fricking series.

83
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:27,600
Speaker 3: He got some help there in Game five, though, Duncan Robinson,

84
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 3: I'm sure we'll get to him. Kendrick Nunn big first

85
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 3: half after we thought this guy was like washed wise

86
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 3: even playing but Tray, where do you want to start?

87
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 3: Do you want to go to the final? You know,

88
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 3: really Lakers play where Lebron does pass out after he's

89
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:40,840
Speaker 3: like triple team sort of there and kicks out to

90
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:42,279
Speaker 3: Danny Green. Or do you want to just start with

91
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:44,039
Speaker 3: Jimmy take wherever you want to go? Man?

92
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 5: Oh, come on, man, you know we got to talk

93
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 5: about Jimmy Butler working hard and being the man. You

94
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 5: slipped it in there, but we really got to get

95
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 5: into it. He worked super hard last night, forty seven

96
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 5: minutes and twelve seconds, most of it matched up against Lebron.

97
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 5: I mean, obviously the heat switch a whole bunch, but

98
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:02,480
Speaker 5: he's taken on that challenge quite a bit being the man,

99
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:05,679
Speaker 5: like I said, guarding Lebron. He's taking Lebron and Ad

100
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 5: off the dribble late in the fourth quarter than going

101
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 5: to the line and hitting absolutely clutch free throws. Even

102
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 5: Lee Ellis has to love it. Jimmy Butler is more

103
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 5: locked in than anyone in NBA history Right now. For him,

104
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 5: the only things that matter are basketball and coffee.

105
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 3: Business is booming.

106
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:24,600
Speaker 5: I mean it seemed like Game three was gonna be

107
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 5: the signature Jimmy Butler game, and we're gonna talk about

108
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,040
Speaker 5: it for years and years, like we talk about Alan

109
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:31,360
Speaker 5: Iverson in two thousand and one. The Sixers only got

110
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:33,159
Speaker 5: one win in that series, but he's a legend for

111
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:36,359
Speaker 5: doing that. Jimmy now has two signature games in the

112
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 5: NBA Finals. It was awesome and the guy's just an

113
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,159
Speaker 5: absolute mad man. You saw the clip of them in

114
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 5: the press conference afterwards. I mean, I'm sure they wanted.

115
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 3: To win, thought they was gonna win coming into it,

116
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 3: as did we. It was a hard fought game. I

117
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 3: think it's gonna be even harder for us next game.

118
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 3: A grin chances, Oh my goodness, best smile.

119
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 5: Terrifying stuff for the Los Angeles. But that was just

120
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 5: an awesome game to watch, because, like you Tass is saying,

121
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 5: it's not just that Jimmy was playing so well, Lebron

122
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 5: was also playing so well. They're going back and forth

123
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,480
Speaker 5: against each other. Then we're seeing these throwback moments from

124
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 5: Lebron James' career. Hey, I remember when he passed the

125
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 5: Donyelle Marshall in the corner and people said Lebron you're

126
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 5: passing too much. Now it turns out he knows exactly

127
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:20,840
Speaker 5: what he's doing.

128
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 3: I've seen j R.

129
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:25,160
Speaker 5: Smith forget to pass the Lebron James after a clutch

130
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 5: offensive rebound when you lose track of time. Same thing

131
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 5: happened to Mark if Morris. We've run out of stories

132
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:33,279
Speaker 5: here in the NBA. We're just playing reruns now. But

133
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:36,039
Speaker 5: it's really fun, it is it really, it's like the

134
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 5: most tired cliche in all of sports. It's the Jimmy

135
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 5: said this, I left it out. I left it all

136
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 5: out on the floor along with my guys. I mean,

137
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 5: you hear that after every hockey game if you've ever

138
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,280
Speaker 5: watched one ice hockey sorry Lee, where a guy will

139
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 5: say that.

140
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:52,559
Speaker 3: But it's so damn true with this one. And Jimmy Butler,

141
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 3: like Trey was saying, I mean before he hit some

142
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 3: of those late free throws, the guy is slumped over

143
00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 3: a railing. I don't think any of it was performative.

144
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 3: I don't think any of it was like, hey, check

145
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,600
Speaker 3: this out. I think the guy was just absolutely exhausted

146
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:07,719
Speaker 3: because he is leaving it all out there, and you

147
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 3: know you got spow even saying that's an image of

148
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 3: a champion before a champion, I think is that's such

149
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 3: a cool quote. Who knows if that he can actually

150
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 3: pull this off and win two more Maybe down the line,

151
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 3: Jimmy Butler wins the title. But what did you think,

152
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 3: especially Lake Trace said, I mean, he's making fun of

153
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 3: it because you love your free throws, but that is

154
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 3: pretty impressive to do, being that exhausted to go to

155
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 3: the line time after time at a time and knock

156
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 3: them down.

157
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 6: Three of these games now in this series, he's been

158
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 6: to the free throw line double digits times, and to me,

159
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 6: that is when you take it out of like just

160
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,679
Speaker 6: trying to hit hero but play hero basketball. You're getting

161
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 6: to the free throw line, putting pressure on the referees.

162
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 6: And there was that one big play, well two big

163
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 6: plays down the end there markif Morris got hit with

164
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 6: a found that Anthony Davis went up for the verticality,

165
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 6: and again that's one of those bang bang plays we've

166
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 6: seen that sometimes being no call, but you put the

167
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 6: pressure on the referees to make the call. They make

168
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 6: the call. The Lakers didn't have a challenge and Jimmy

169
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 6: goes the line and knocks down those free throws. I mean,

170
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 6: that's really what it comes down to, is is making

171
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 6: those plays where you really put your team and yourself

172
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 6: in a position to score. That's what the Heat had

173
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 6: to do, and that's what Jimmy made sure was going

174
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 6: to happen, because you know, he's kind of bringing back

175
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 6: the mid range game in this series alone. You know

176
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 6: a couple of times there he just gets to that

177
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 6: spot and with those big, tied, heavy legs, he still

178
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 6: gets those shots up and knocks him in. But again,

179
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 6: you know when you sometimes see you guys settle lad

180
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 6: in games when their legs are tied and it's like,

181
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 6: all right, I just want to hit the hero three

182
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 6: pointer or the deep two here. Yeah, that's what happens.

183
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 6: But Jimmy was like, I'm not doing that. I'm going

184
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 6: to the free throw line. And the free throw line

185
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:36,960
Speaker 6: is a very good place to tell just how exhausted

186
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 6: people are, because that's where your legs can sometimes let

187
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 6: you down. But they didn't last night on both ends

188
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 6: as well. I mean, the Lakers were fantastic themselves and

189
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:47,680
Speaker 6: Lebron I mean I think in that last possession, therefore,

190
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 6: the Lakers that went out to Danny Green basically spolster

191
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 6: and the heat were like, don't let Lebron beat us.

192
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 6: Let someone else beat us, Make someone else hit that

193
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:57,200
Speaker 6: winning shot, and Lebron was probably like, I think they're

194
00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 6: probably going to throw everyone at me, so someone's going

195
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:01,320
Speaker 6: to be open. Dani stand there, this is a great

196
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:03,319
Speaker 6: spot for you. He's a veteran, he's knocked down big shots.

197
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 6: I think they call him dead shot. He left it short.

198
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 6: I mean that's what happens. And yeah, I mean the

199
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 6: internet's going crazy. Of course, people are idiots. Danny Green, though.

200
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 6: It takes look, it takes courage to be out there

201
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:16,680
Speaker 6: and be like, yes, I want the ball. I want

202
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 6: that shot to win us the championship. And he left

203
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 6: it short. But you know, that's why the Lakers got

204
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 6: him is because in those moments they trust him to

205
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 6: hit those shots. He just didn't hit it. I mean,

206
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 6: that's all that happened. And you know, yeah, I mean

207
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:32,680
Speaker 6: the outrage on the online is crazy because that's the classic,

208
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:34,679
Speaker 6: right the story when the ball's in the air. You know,

209
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 6: if that ball is in the air and it's like, ah,

210
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 6: Lebron again, he's having such a great night. He could

211
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 6: have taken over this game, but he trusts his teammates.

212
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 6: They hit the shot, they win the championship instead, It's like,

213
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 6: what are you gonna do? But he had four guys

214
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 6: on him, and you can see Duncan Robinson as well.

215
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 6: He was like, I'm going with Lebron. Oh everyone until Lebron.

216
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 6: Let's just make sure someone else beats us. They just

217
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:55,560
Speaker 6: didn't happen that. That just didn't happen last night. But

218
00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 6: an incredible game, like one of those ones where it's

219
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 6: just an arm wrestle a whole way, it's a tug

220
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:03,560
Speaker 6: of war. It's like, I have no idea who's going

221
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:05,559
Speaker 6: to come out on top of this. Both teams made

222
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 6: huge plays. He'd club shots in a great game, great series.

223
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 6: I'm glad we're going to.

224
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:12,680
Speaker 4: Six yeah, and right the story when the balls in

225
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 4: the air, it would have been a really good story

226
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 4: because Danny Green was subbed in specifically for that play

227
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 4: over Alex Caruso to be there, and he had hit

228
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 4: two of four threes prior to that shot. It wasn't

229
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 4: a dead Danny Green game like there have been in

230
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:29,319
Speaker 4: many playoff games this postseason.

231
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:29,840
Speaker 1: He could have.

232
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:32,720
Speaker 4: It could have been one of those games like earlier

233
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 4: in the playoffs, where he had clanked oh for six,

234
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 4: There's been plenty of those, but he had hit a

235
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 4: couple he had I thought, I thought it felt like

236
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 4: Danny Green was going to have one of those monstrous nights.

237
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 4: He had a little bit more spring in those sneaky legs.

238
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 4: It looked like he was gonna have a great shot

239
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 4: at it. And man, yeah, obviously really short. And the

240
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:55,560
Speaker 4: ridicule is MJ wouldn't have done that. Well, John Paxson

241
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:59,959
Speaker 4: would like to differ with that. People it happens. Yet

242
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,960
Speaker 4: there was five guys on him. Jeff Fangunny called it.

243
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 4: Make somebody else beat you. Caruso sit get out there.

244
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 4: Danny and Markif made a bit of a mistake there.

245
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:13,959
Speaker 4: I thought, Yeah, Jimmy got two great calls in the

246
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,720
Speaker 4: last minute. I thought Anthony Davis definitely wasn't vertical. That

247
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:20,080
Speaker 4: was a whistle. But I say, Markif because that one

248
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:22,199
Speaker 4: with forty five seconds left, I don't think we got

249
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 4: a good replay because we were sitting on Jimmy Butler

250
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 4: hanging over the right the end there, and obviously if

251
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 4: you're a director, you got to stay there. The dramatics, yeah, yeah,

252
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:35,839
Speaker 4: and Jimmy, Jimmy needed a break, but I thought and

253
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,599
Speaker 4: Jimmy was obviously going to the rack and not and

254
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:40,680
Speaker 4: forcing the referees to make a call. I'm not sure

255
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 4: if there was a little bumpity bump from markif Morris,

256
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 4: but he deserved the whistle the way he had been playing.

257
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 4: And and I love Lebron after the game. You know,

258
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:52,080
Speaker 4: it's hard to foul a guy who's been killing it

259
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:54,559
Speaker 4: on the free throw line. He knows that Jimmy Butler

260
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 4: has been aces from the free throw line, and yeah,

261
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 4: the heat were again, uh too from the free throw

262
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 4: line in this game, and that mattered. Dwight Howard's foul

263
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 4: mattered everything matters. Challenges matter, can't challenge earlier in the game,

264
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 4: Frank Vogel, I would be like Frank Vogel, I'd be

265
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 4: ready to throw that challenge flag a minute into the game.

266
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 4: But man, it's hard to keep it in the back

267
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 4: pocket for forty eight minutes if I'm an NBA coach.

268
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 4: But yeah, they could have used it. But either way,

269
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 4: I'm not upset about the officiating. That was just that

270
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 4: was just butter.

271
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 3: I agree, And it's also another case to be made

272
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 3: to get rid of some of these timeouts because a

273
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 3: lot of these timeouts were gone, and look what happened.

274
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 3: We had awesome, awesome basketball, a little bit more of

275
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 3: a flow at the end of the game because there's

276
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 3: not a score timeout, score timeout, score timeout. It was

277
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:44,720
Speaker 3: a little bit more. I mean, of course there was

278
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:46,680
Speaker 3: free throws and stuff like that, but that's a really

279
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 3: entertaining a few things about the Lebron you know pass

280
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 3: to Danny Green. Okay, if you were to criticize, I

281
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 3: guess you could say, well, look at what Jimmy was doing.

282
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,080
Speaker 3: He was driving in like you just talked about Lee

283
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 3: putting pressure on the referees to make the call. They

284
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 3: were blowing their whistle. Maybe Lebron could have tried the same, right,

285
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 3: I think that's fair. Guy was a monster forty thirteen

286
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 3: and seven. He makes the right play. I'm with you

287
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:12,560
Speaker 3: guys on that, though. I will say it was a

288
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 3: bad pass. I haven't seen this, you know, U pointing

289
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 3: out all that much. An incredibly tough pass. Again, don't

290
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 3: get me wrong, but Lebron. The beauty of Lebron is

291
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:24,080
Speaker 3: he's an incredible passer and they're usually right in the

292
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 3: shooter's pocket, and that one wasn't it wasn't. It was

293
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:29,200
Speaker 3: to the right, Danny sort of you know, had to

294
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 3: bobble it with the one hand and then dribble still

295
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 3: wide open. I mean he still had stepping into a

296
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 3: wide open three. He should hit that. He's like a

297
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 3: forty percent career three point shooter. You would bump that

298
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 3: up even more being that wide open. But it wasn't

299
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:43,320
Speaker 3: a good Lebron pass. I'm sorry, because those are usually

300
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,160
Speaker 3: somehow just always right in the pocket, no matter what

301
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 3: angle and what foot he's spinning off of how many guys.

302
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:50,200
Speaker 3: So that's the other thing, and then I thought of

303
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:53,080
Speaker 3: this test. I don't know about you, Dwayne Casey basically

304
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 3: got fired. If you remember back, I think it was

305
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 3: Game three when Lebron hit the game winner versus the Raptors,

306
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,080
Speaker 3: obviously when he was still with the Calves, and it

307
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:05,080
Speaker 3: was like the whole anybody but Lebron, anybody and they

308
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 3: didn't do that really, and it was an incredible shot

309
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:09,320
Speaker 3: that he hit. But that's what wheneveryone was like, just

310
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:11,720
Speaker 3: run three four guys. That'll make anybody else on the

311
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:14,079
Speaker 3: Calves beat you. They did it, and that's where Messi

312
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:16,679
Speaker 3: Jugieri reportedly like sort of went off and like, what

313
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 3: are we doing so good on Spo and good on

314
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 3: the heat for saying basically, we're just gonna run everybody

315
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:25,880
Speaker 3: at him. We know he's gonna have the ball and

316
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 3: just see if he'll barrel into four or five guys.

317
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 3: We're less likely to get a whistle in that instance.

318
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 3: It's not the one on one situation. And then of

319
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 3: course Lebron makes the pass anyway, so you know, just

320
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 3: a little credit there to Spoe and obviously the game

321
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 3: plan of like anybody but Broun and it worked out,

322
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 3: and yeah, mar Keith Morris still had a chance. That's

323
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 3: the funny part about all of this. And like you

324
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 3: guys pointed out, wisely, he had so many options. He

325
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 3: could have shot it. He could have passed the KCP,

326
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 3: could have passed the Lebron probably couldn't even gone back

327
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 3: to Danny Green if you wanted. And Ad did have

328
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 3: a bit of a seal there, and it's just a garbage,

329
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 3: garbage pass. I mean, it's just like you guys said,

330
00:14:57,440 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 3: it's ten feet high. It wasn't even close, but it's

331
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 3: probably there. It's going to be a foul or a

332
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 3: dunk or maybe both if it gets to him. So yeah,

333
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:06,360
Speaker 3: what a game though, What a game where it just

334
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 3: went back and forth, back and forth, back and forth.

335
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 3: But let's talk a little bit about the support that

336
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 3: Jimmy did get because Duncan Robinson. I think Trey you

337
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 3: had said it when we were trying to make predictions

338
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 3: for this game. You're like, look, he could have one

339
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 3: of these games you know, And Lee you've said it

340
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 3: multiple times too, where Duncan Robinson or Tyler Hero can

341
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 3: hit six or seven threes and that's a bit of

342
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 3: a game changer. And Duncan in this one, Mike got

343
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 3: the shots. I mean that It's incredible how fast this

344
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 3: guy runs to a spot, elevates and the balls already

345
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 3: out of his hands, like in a blink of an eye.

346
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 3: And then you got a bunch of Lakers like pointing

347
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 3: at each other and going, well, who's man, what do

348
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:43,120
Speaker 3: we do it? Why are we leaving this guy open?

349
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 3: But it's so easier said than done to just stick

350
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:45,480
Speaker 3: to him.

351
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 6: Lee, absolutely, and Hey was feeling it last night. So

352
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 6: he's talking a little bit of trash there to Kyle

353
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 6: kuzmar offer. He got that full point play, but there

354
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:55,960
Speaker 6: was also a really crucial play with Jimmy Butler went inside,

355
00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 6: got found like it looked like he was going into

356
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 6: his motion and the ball went in, but they caught

357
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 6: it side out, and so he thought that's a huge

358
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 6: play there, the potential three point play. But out of

359
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 6: that play, out of the side ball, Duncan Romsey hit

360
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:10,880
Speaker 6: another three anyway, So I thought that was a huge

361
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 6: possession there for the heat because it was like, man,

362
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:16,720
Speaker 6: if they don't score on that possession, that's a costly one,

363
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 6: because I thought it was the en one there for

364
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 6: Jimmy Butler, but Duncan came back and knocked in the

365
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 6: three anyway. But yeah, he look these guys, both of

366
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 6: them him entirely hero. We know they're capable of getting hot,

367
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 6: and if they can feel that early on, then it

368
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 6: tend they tend to just play a better game. And

369
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 6: Duncan Romson last night, you could see him hunting down

370
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 6: the ball. He was like, I need the ball tonight.

371
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 6: I'm feeling it. And he went seven for thirteen in

372
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 6: the end, and I think every one of those ones

373
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 6: that he hit seemed to be like someone close enough

374
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 6: to him there as well, like he was firing away

375
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 6: just because he just had the feel last night, and

376
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 6: you could see CACP a couple of times on him

377
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 6: and Hero right up on it as close as they

378
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:56,240
Speaker 6: could possibly play him. But Duncan was still trying to

379
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 6: find his spot because he just knows that if he

380
00:16:58,360 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 6: could get that shot off last night, he was going

381
00:16:59,880 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 6: to in. So that was such a huge contribution from him.

382
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 6: Other guys played well as well. I mean, you know,

383
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,679
Speaker 6: Bam didn't have a great game himself statistically, but I

384
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 6: thought Tyler Hero was good again. Kendrick Nune you mentioned

385
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:13,720
Speaker 6: him already, Skis here and that first half, No, that's

386
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:15,919
Speaker 6: found money for him considering what they've got out of

387
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 6: him so far in the series. But he's a good

388
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 6: three point shooter, so if he can go out there

389
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:22,119
Speaker 6: and contribute something for them as well and keep that

390
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:24,960
Speaker 6: scoreboard ticking, then it just changes so much for Miami

391
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:27,159
Speaker 6: that even when Jimmy has a big game, he's just

392
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 6: not carrying the workload the entire game. So really really

393
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 6: impress his stuff. And again the free throws for Miami

394
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 6: twenty one for twenty two, I mean huge, and Tyler

395
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:39,160
Speaker 6: Hero even after Markie Morris threw the ball out of bounds,

396
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:40,920
Speaker 6: you know it was still a one point game, and

397
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:43,359
Speaker 6: Tyler hero hit to hit those two clutch free throws

398
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 6: again and Lebron still got another shot off, not a

399
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:48,640
Speaker 6: great one, of course, but I mean that just shows

400
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 6: how close that game was at the end. Even with

401
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 6: all the craziness that had happened, Lakers still had a

402
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:54,960
Speaker 6: chance to at least take it to overtime.

403
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, Duncan had one open look really early in the game,

404
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:00,919
Speaker 5: and then he had another open one that he that

405
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 5: he missed, but he was just in the rhythm, and

406
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:05,640
Speaker 5: you know, all of the Heat basically talked about it afterwards,

407
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:08,359
Speaker 5: how persistent he was getting to his spots and getting

408
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 5: to open shots. And it played out in the heat

409
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:13,359
Speaker 5: hitting fourteen threes the first time they've reached their season

410
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 5: average during the finals, And you know, it all comes

411
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:18,720
Speaker 5: down a little bit to putting Jimmy Butler.

412
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:19,119
Speaker 3: As the role man.

413
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 5: I thought that was a brilliant move by Spell as well,

414
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 5: to kind of get him a little bit of separation

415
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:25,879
Speaker 5: from Anthony Davis and make it so that Jimmy's not

416
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:28,480
Speaker 5: having to dribble into Ad every single time, because AD's

417
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 5: got the speed and the length to be able to

418
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 5: challenge him. At the rim, so you know, by putting

419
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:34,480
Speaker 5: him in a little screen and roll action, Butler's able

420
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:36,000
Speaker 5: to catch the ball kind of right in the middle

421
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,920
Speaker 5: and make a play for somebody. It ended up being

422
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 5: a nice shooting night for Duncan Robinson seven for thirteen.

423
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 5: I was a little worried that Jay Crowder was going

424
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 5: to be the John Starks in this game. He was

425
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 5: popping away. He ended up two for nine, but he

426
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:50,639
Speaker 5: hit a big one. But basically what ended up happening

427
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:52,560
Speaker 5: was the Heat finally had a game where they were

428
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:55,159
Speaker 5: able to outshoot the Lakers, because the Lakers shooting stats

429
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:57,359
Speaker 5: look pretty good because Lebron was on fire from three,

430
00:18:57,440 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 5: but the rest of the Lakers, if you take out

431
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:02,840
Speaker 5: Lebron shooting eight of twenty nine for three. Obviously, the

432
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 5: big one was Danny Green at the top of the

433
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:08,120
Speaker 5: key there at the end, but it was all night

434
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 5: the Lakers. Others were kind of broke from outside. KCP

435
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:13,359
Speaker 5: was hot for a little bit, but he was cold

436
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:16,120
Speaker 5: come the fourth quarter, and the Heat were able to

437
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:17,080
Speaker 5: keep the heat up.

438
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:19,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is weird to see the Lakers lose a

439
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 3: game where Lebron is basically Steph Curry. He's you know,

440
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 3: hit stepping in confidently into the threes. There's some deep ones.

441
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 3: Had a bunch of logo threes guys.

442
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:34,159
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, they deserve the asterisk though for the logo

443
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:36,960
Speaker 6: that's true, But it was it is crazy task to

444
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 6: see again Lebron when he's locked in like that with

445
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:42,399
Speaker 6: the jumper with the three pointer for the Lakers to lose.

446
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:45,119
Speaker 3: But I think, like Tray said, it's it was Lebron

447
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 3: and it was Anthony Davis, and then it was not

448
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:50,440
Speaker 3: a whole lot else, not a lot of contributions from

449
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:52,920
Speaker 3: the other Lakers as they're being called. I mean, they

450
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:54,200
Speaker 3: shot poorly.

451
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 1: The rest of the guys.

452
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:59,879
Speaker 4: Yeah, don't put this on KCP man sixteen points from Ksey.

453
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:02,720
Speaker 1: Somebody else has to step Yeah.

454
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:05,240
Speaker 4: No, I would have preferred Lebron's pass when he got

455
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 4: into the lane there instead of going to Danny Green.

456
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 4: A nice wrap to KCP in the corner.

457
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:12,160
Speaker 1: I think. I think KCP was ready to give him.

458
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:14,360
Speaker 4: The short porch in that corner there, and he hit

459
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:17,879
Speaker 4: that other one a little earlier in the fourth. A

460
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:20,880
Speaker 4: lot of jokes going around, of course, there's some Hey,

461
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 4: are we sure Jimmy Butler is in the finals. MVP,

462
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 4: and of course how about KCP for MVP, you know,

463
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:30,720
Speaker 4: being the third guy there. Yeah, they definitely needed somebody else. Now,

464
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 4: KCP and Lebron James tied for the lead in three

465
00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 4: pointers made for the playoffs for the Lakers. I thought

466
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 4: Anthony Davis, although he put up twenty eight and twelve

467
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 4: and he obviously aggravated that heel injury after that, he

468
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 4: did all he could on the defensive end big time

469
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:51,879
Speaker 4: against Jimmy Butler, but I don't think he had it

470
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:54,679
Speaker 4: on the offensive end. Just it just kind of faded,

471
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 4: like he can score against this team, and it just

472
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 4: kind of faded away after after an.

473
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:02,399
Speaker 1: Incredible first quarter to start.

474
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:04,520
Speaker 4: I think he is gassed a little bit, and I

475
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 4: think you got to worry about Jimmy Butler a little bit.

476
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:10,400
Speaker 4: I brought up Gornan dragicch right at the beginning, because

477
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:13,159
Speaker 4: after Jimmy Butler's forty point performance in Game three, he

478
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 4: slowed down in Game four. I don't think it is

479
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 4: performative whatsoever that he's hanging out tired.

480
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:21,920
Speaker 1: The talk while watching.

481
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:25,200
Speaker 4: Him go down to twenty two points and game number

482
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:27,199
Speaker 4: four was, Oh, he's tired, and I think we'll be

483
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:29,479
Speaker 4: saying that in game six, like he can't do this

484
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 4: every single game. There's just no human who can do it.

485
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 4: MJ Yeah, sure, whatever, but it's just so frick and hard.

486
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:39,080
Speaker 4: So I think that's why he was in his postgame

487
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 4: interview with Rachel Nichols saying, you know, I know number

488
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 4: seven wants to come back, and that's Gorn Dragsch's number.

489
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 4: He wants to come out here and play with the boys, because, yeah,

490
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:50,040
Speaker 4: Duncan gave it, gave him twenty six. I know Bam

491
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 4: wants to be a little bit better. Yeah, but they

492
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:56,399
Speaker 4: could use Drags real, real bad right now. Because Jimmy,

493
00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 4: you can't expect him to have a forty and a

494
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:01,119
Speaker 4: thirty five and keep freaking doing this.

495
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 3: I do, I do. I've seen it.

496
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 5: I've seen Jimmy play forty eight minutes time and time

497
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:08,040
Speaker 5: again in the playoffs. I'm sure he'll be ready to

498
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 5: do it come Game six. Will he have another thirty

499
00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 5: something point triple double? Who knows, that's a rare thing

500
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 5: that happens in NBA history, But Jimmy's just putting them

501
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:17,400
Speaker 5: in his pocket right now.

502
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 3: I'm sure he's ready to go forty eight in the

503
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:21,200
Speaker 3: next game. Are you saying Tree if he come back

504
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:23,600
Speaker 3: to win this, Jimmy has two more Monster games, plays

505
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 3: a ton of minutes, that Tibbs should also get a

506
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:28,240
Speaker 3: ring for the he conditioned them.

507
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:30,400
Speaker 5: I would say that the Heat have to retire Tom

508
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:32,320
Speaker 5: Thibodau's jersey just they did Mjays.

509
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:35,040
Speaker 3: There we go. I'm with you on that. Yeah, no,

510
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:36,879
Speaker 3: it's gonna be it's gonna be tough to do. But

511
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:39,080
Speaker 3: the big difference, though, task I will point out, You're right,

512
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 3: I mean fatigue I'm sure came into play from game

513
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:43,399
Speaker 3: three to game four. I'm talking about with Jimmy. Was

514
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:45,879
Speaker 3: the change in game four was, well, we're putting Anthony

515
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:48,960
Speaker 3: Davis on him. And in game five, again credit to Spolstra,

516
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:50,680
Speaker 3: you said it their trade, they made him a roll

517
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:52,879
Speaker 3: band rollman. A little bit more. I thought they switched

518
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 3: up the screens where they were screening him. They just

519
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:57,399
Speaker 3: you know, did these little things and it helped that

520
00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:00,080
Speaker 3: Anthony Davis was hobbled a little bit. Let's point I

521
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:03,560
Speaker 3: know too that that helped unlock Jimmy a little bit more. So,

522
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:07,000
Speaker 3: Now what will be Vogel's adjustment to that and whether

523
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:10,200
Speaker 3: or not they can slow Jimmy again, because yeah, I

524
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:12,480
Speaker 3: ain't betting against this dude. This guy, I mean, he's

525
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:14,199
Speaker 3: sort of like he's starting I'm starting to think like

526
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:16,919
Speaker 3: he's one of those weird people that run like ultra marathons,

527
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:19,160
Speaker 3: you know, like Paul Flannery out there. It's like, why

528
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:21,280
Speaker 3: don't you just run a normal marathon. That's a lot

529
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:24,360
Speaker 3: of work, man, that's tiring. But there's these people. They

530
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 3: live with this pain. They love the pain once they

531
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 3: get to mile forty, like it's something euphoric to them.

532
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 3: Jimmy's this guy, man, I'm telling he's like wired like this.

533
00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 3: He loves being tired. He loves this like battle that's

534
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:37,800
Speaker 3: going on, both mentally and physically, and it like it

535
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 3: feels the lee.

536
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:39,160
Speaker 1: Yeah.

537
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 5: You know, I've always said about Paul Flannery, all he

538
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 5: wants to do is work hard and pee the flan.

539
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:52,600
Speaker 6: Sure, yeah, I prefer flann too. Uh No, listen, Jimmy, Jimmy,

540
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:54,320
Speaker 6: you know you sort of mentioned it there as well.

541
00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:56,879
Speaker 6: After the game, he should be exhausted and sort of

542
00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:59,159
Speaker 6: happy and a bit eupharic, but instead he's almost like

543
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:01,200
Speaker 6: just a crazy kid. You know. He's kind of like

544
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:03,680
Speaker 6: I'm just messing with the Lakers right now. I wanted

545
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:05,560
Speaker 6: Lebron to have a three wide lead. What's that reference

546
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:10,240
Speaker 6: to talk about in in rad This guy he's almost

547
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:12,480
Speaker 6: like he's like, I'm just going to torture Lebron and

548
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:14,439
Speaker 6: the Lakers here a little bit by giving them the

549
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:16,439
Speaker 6: three one lead and then just by crushing them at

550
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 6: the end of it. But this is I don't know

551
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 6: what's going to happen in game six now because this

552
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:22,720
Speaker 6: series has just been going back and forth. And Anthony

553
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 6: Davis that injury, that that that heel. It's hard to

554
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:28,800
Speaker 6: say really if it's going to bother him or not,

555
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:30,880
Speaker 6: because he looked it looked bad when he first went down.

556
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:32,920
Speaker 6: It was a non contact injury, and he sort of

557
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:34,400
Speaker 6: he sort of hobbled off to the side. It took

558
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:36,159
Speaker 6: a while, but then you know, I mean again, if

559
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:38,360
Speaker 6: you're playing, you're one hundred percent. That's what guys kind

560
00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:39,920
Speaker 6: of say, like, no one's going to make an excuse.

561
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:42,600
Speaker 6: And again, I mean, he had a quiet what twenty

562
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:44,879
Speaker 6: eight points I think you finished with, Yeah, it was quiet,

563
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:47,199
Speaker 6: Well it was quiet, But that just shows how he

564
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:48,960
Speaker 6: how easily he can go and get it if he

565
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,760
Speaker 6: wants it. So you know, I don't expect them obviously

566
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:53,959
Speaker 6: to make any excuses or anything like that. And if

567
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:56,639
Speaker 6: he plays, the guy's healthy, because that's that's just what

568
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 6: happens in the playoffs right now. Because if you saw

569
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:02,520
Speaker 6: Jimmy walk off from his press conference last night, he

570
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:04,680
Speaker 6: looked like he needed a walking stick.

571
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:04,679
Speaker 3: You know.

572
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:08,040
Speaker 6: But you know that he's not gonna make any excuses himself.

573
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:09,960
Speaker 6: He's gonna go out there and again that mid range

574
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 6: game that that to me is really is really special

575
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:15,440
Speaker 6: because he's bringing that back and he's.

576
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:16,639
Speaker 3: So why do you keep saying bringing it back? We

577
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 3: just saw Kwhi Leonard. Yeah. Yeah, it's the exact same thing.

578
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:21,120
Speaker 3: It comes back every playoffs.

579
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:24,199
Speaker 6: Yeah, but listen, you don't see a whole lot of

580
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:26,240
Speaker 6: it from guys doing because.

581
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 3: We saw it last year in the fight. Yeah.

582
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:31,240
Speaker 6: Remember, Kawhi does shoot threes a lot more than Jimmy

583
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:33,360
Speaker 6: Butler shoots three. Jimmy doesn' shoot I think I think

584
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:34,879
Speaker 6: he took three last night and hit one because he

585
00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 6: had just seen It's like us, it's just about a

586
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:38,200
Speaker 6: foot out of his range.

587
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 3: You know, he just can't shoot those three.

588
00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:43,719
Speaker 6: No, listen, I'm not saying that's your game, you're more

589
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:46,959
Speaker 6: a mid range shooter like that. But but Jimmy, Jimmy

590
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,880
Speaker 6: basically last night, and we've seen this series. If it's

591
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:53,439
Speaker 6: not Anthony Davis, if it's basically anybody else, he's like,

592
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:56,119
Speaker 6: I can either step into a mid ranger or he

593
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 6: can do that sort of slow motion move into the

594
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 6: paint where you know what's coming. Yeah, but he still

595
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 6: steps back and knocks it in, So you know he's

596
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 6: got he's got that confidence in his game that he's like,

597
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 6: I can score on basically anybody here. And it's not

598
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:11,040
Speaker 6: that he can't score an Anthony Davis, but it's wise

599
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:12,920
Speaker 6: to not try to keep going at the guy who can,

600
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:16,440
Speaker 6: who can contest and block so many shots, and he's

601
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:19,359
Speaker 6: getting those guys. He's trusting those teammates to hit those threes,

602
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:21,640
Speaker 6: and yeah, Jay crowd of well, I hate I hope

603
00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 6: he finds that form he had against the Celtics and

604
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:25,639
Speaker 6: the and the Bucks or it's more the Bucks in

605
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:28,760
Speaker 6: the paces really because oh man, he's clanked a few

606
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:31,800
Speaker 6: he's but anyway.

607
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:33,679
Speaker 3: Hey, let the record show that I beat le Ellis

608
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:36,280
Speaker 3: in many three point challenges. Okay, just I just want

609
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 3: the record to show that.

610
00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:41,240
Speaker 6: No, but I'm just I'm just saying your your strength

611
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:42,639
Speaker 6: is just a foot inside.

612
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:43,879
Speaker 3: That's it.

613
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 6: It's kind of listen at the end of the game.

614
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:48,600
Speaker 6: It's like, listen, if skets he wants to try to

615
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:49,679
Speaker 6: win on a three, let him do it.

616
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:54,960
Speaker 3: Man, that's just scouting to be in the gym all season.

617
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:57,280
Speaker 5: Manna, he's gonna gout in love with giving something up

618
00:26:57,320 --> 00:26:58,680
Speaker 5: to great andess that's what I mean.

619
00:26:58,720 --> 00:26:59,239
Speaker 3: That's what I mean.

620
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:01,080
Speaker 6: If Skets he's got that quick first step, if you

621
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 6: batcha he could.

622
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:02,880
Speaker 3: Do one of those lifts.

623
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:03,159
Speaker 1: You know.

624
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:07,879
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, deep shot. This was awesome again. If you

625
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:11,000
Speaker 3: didn't watch this game, go back and watch it, because

626
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:14,920
Speaker 3: after Duncan's three with like what three fifteen, let's say

627
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 3: to go, that put Miami up to it started a

628
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:21,240
Speaker 3: stretch here where the next nine scoring possessions from either

629
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:24,640
Speaker 3: side resulted in entirely change. Was one of those awesome,

630
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:27,119
Speaker 3: awesome games where it's like back and forth, tied or

631
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:29,359
Speaker 3: they switches, uh, you know who's in the lead, and

632
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 3: that's what you want obviously in a finals game here,

633
00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:33,520
Speaker 3: so we will see. I have a question to ask.

634
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:36,280
Speaker 3: You talked about fatigue, and it's fair like, can Jimmy

635
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:39,919
Speaker 3: do this again? Will Spolster continue with seven guys? I

636
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:42,760
Speaker 3: mean that's all he played in this I mean these

637
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:45,080
Speaker 3: guys are going to be exhausted, and at least between

638
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:47,439
Speaker 3: games four and five they had the bit of a

639
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 3: longer break. Now we play on Sunday again in game six.

640
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:51,520
Speaker 1: What do you think he's got no choice?

641
00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:54,360
Speaker 4: I don't think Kelly Olinik is the guy he took out,

642
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:57,119
Speaker 4: and half of Solomon Hill, who's sort of playing a

643
00:27:57,119 --> 00:27:57,879
Speaker 4: little bit in this series.

644
00:27:58,560 --> 00:27:59,720
Speaker 1: It is a little strange.

645
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:03,480
Speaker 4: I Can has contributed to great offense in the series,

646
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:06,520
Speaker 4: especially while Bam was out that they took him out.

647
00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:07,679
Speaker 1: I think you could.

648
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:11,120
Speaker 4: It's it's desperation time, so probably not. But you can

649
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:14,439
Speaker 4: bring Kelly Olinick back and and and listen, if you

650
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:18,159
Speaker 4: look at those seven guys, three of them are basically rookies.

651
00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:21,200
Speaker 4: Tayler Hero and Kendrick nunnar and and Doncan Robinson played

652
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:23,800
Speaker 4: a little bit of last year. It's just I'm not

653
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:26,320
Speaker 4: going to question what Eric Spoltzer is going to do

654
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:27,880
Speaker 4: in game six because the.

655
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 1: Guy is playing.

656
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:33,359
Speaker 4: Literally guys who have barely played in the NBA have

657
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:38,160
Speaker 4: barely These two guys have haven't seen uh, barely any

658
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:41,480
Speaker 4: NBA ball and Doncan Robinson played a touch last year,

659
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:44,960
Speaker 4: almost half of them. It's it's ridiculous what they're doing.

660
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:48,040
Speaker 4: And so I don't know. I mean, I think they're

661
00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:51,880
Speaker 4: they're riding Jimmy obviously a lot. They're riding, uh there's

662
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:54,120
Speaker 4: their starters a lot. But they'd be happy to get

663
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 4: Dragage back. I think that's uh, that's one guy that

664
00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:59,000
Speaker 4: they're they're they're yearning for.

665
00:28:59,120 --> 00:28:59,480
Speaker 1: I don't know.

666
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:01,720
Speaker 4: I don't know if he can come back. Though we

667
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:04,480
Speaker 4: didn't see any footage of him struggling through a pregame

668
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:06,680
Speaker 4: warm up in Game five like we did in Game four.

669
00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:09,240
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, that was tough to watch that clip. Whether

670
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 3: it's like basically in tears right that he's not gonna

671
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:13,560
Speaker 3: be able to give it a go, but we'll see. Yeah,

672
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:15,680
Speaker 3: I mean, look, this helps the heat. The more and

673
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:18,320
Speaker 3: more games days that pass, you're more likely to get

674
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:21,120
Speaker 3: dragish back. And also, yeah, Anthony Davis is always more

675
00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:23,680
Speaker 3: likely to get injured, which is we've now reached that

676
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:25,440
Speaker 3: point and we'll see what his heel is like for

677
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:27,720
Speaker 3: Game six and whether he plays and bam too. I

678
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:29,840
Speaker 3: mean Bam was also a guy I was like sort

679
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:31,640
Speaker 3: of forgot at times he was even playing because he

680
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 3: is so limited because of his injury. But again, more time,

681
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 3: maybe that helps him, so we will see. This is awesome,

682
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:39,200
Speaker 3: This is pretty fun though. We got game six SR

683
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:39,840
Speaker 3: go ahead.

684
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:41,480
Speaker 4: And I miss some chippies too, So I think I

685
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:43,360
Speaker 4: think you got to expect him, if you're Jimmy, to

686
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:45,200
Speaker 4: be a little bit better. And I will say about

687
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:48,080
Speaker 4: Eric Spolstra, I mentioned basically three rookies playing from the

688
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 4: seven man rotation. It seems like he's already looking forward

689
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:54,320
Speaker 4: to the draft and getting another rook in there. And

690
00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:56,560
Speaker 4: I wonder if this is tampering because he said postgame

691
00:29:56,600 --> 00:30:00,160
Speaker 4: he was remarkable about Jimmy exceptional tonight. Just from a

692
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:02,440
Speaker 4: competitive standpoint, I really mean that the draft is coming

693
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:04,760
Speaker 4: up a month, they should study Jimmy Butler as a

694
00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:09,160
Speaker 4: two way player. Spoke, he's already recruiting. He's already recruiting

695
00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:11,240
Speaker 4: guys to come join and be part of the part

696
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:13,760
Speaker 4: of the heat a little bit. But that's exactly what

697
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:18,120
Speaker 4: players should do. Study a guy who as actually was

698
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:21,040
Speaker 4: on the lead podcast on The Athletic about his college years.

699
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:24,160
Speaker 4: He went to junior college, and then he ended up

700
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:28,480
Speaker 4: at Marquette and turned himself into a freaking star. No

701
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:32,240
Speaker 4: one really expected him to be this by any means,

702
00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:35,880
Speaker 4: but as Trey likes to say, the man likes to

703
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:39,480
Speaker 4: work hard, and it started back in Juco and then

704
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:43,720
Speaker 4: to Marquette and man, some great stories there on that podcast.

705
00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:46,800
Speaker 4: If you want to listen to Jimmy Butler's rise as

706
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:47,440
Speaker 4: a ballplayer.

707
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:50,520
Speaker 3: And by the way, he's Finals MVP of the Heat

708
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:54,000
Speaker 3: win it's like you should get votes if they don't

709
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:56,160
Speaker 3: win the championship. Hmm, that's interesting.

710
00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:58,800
Speaker 5: I mean, Lebron and eighty have been lights out. Lebron

711
00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:02,120
Speaker 5: in particular, I think he has Finals MVP wrapped up,

712
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:04,400
Speaker 5: but it would not be surprising to see Jimmy get

713
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:05,360
Speaker 5: a vote here or there.

714
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, Lebron losing Lebron close in I think twenty fifteen

715
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:13,720
Speaker 6: when their first one. Yeah, I think Lebron finished second.

716
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 6: Maybe because he.

717
00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think he got some votes. I think I

718
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:18,320
Speaker 3: sort of think it has to go seven. I don't

719
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:20,440
Speaker 3: know why his personal opinion. If it does. If Jimmy

720
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:22,920
Speaker 3: has another monster game, then yeah, I mean sure someone

721
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:24,720
Speaker 3: might throw him a vote, and rightfully so. I mean,

722
00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:26,880
Speaker 3: but yeah, what Lebron and him are doing right now,

723
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:29,680
Speaker 3: I mean, I guess, I guess, I guess Lebron and

724
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:32,080
Speaker 3: Kati were doing similar things right when they were battling

725
00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 3: in finals in terms of just like pure numbers and

726
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:36,560
Speaker 3: stuff like that. Big shots. So this is a blast,

727
00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:39,000
Speaker 3: very cool way to sort of end this season where

728
00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:41,080
Speaker 3: the Heat are fighting once again to at least give

729
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:42,520
Speaker 3: us six games and maybe we get seven. We'll find

730
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:45,320
Speaker 3: out on Sunday night. Anything to add to this one, gentlemen.

731
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:47,640
Speaker 5: Well, you know, of all the stories that have been

732
00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:49,560
Speaker 5: repeated here, we also kind of got a little bit

733
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:52,680
Speaker 5: of the repeat of when the Spurs or when the

734
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:56,480
Speaker 5: NBA brought out the yellow the yellow Rota with the

735
00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:59,680
Speaker 5: Spurs during Game six twenty thirteen, because apparently they had

736
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:02,640
Speaker 5: can fetti cannons and everything ready for the Lakers to

737
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 5: win this thing in five. You know, Lebron he texted

738
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:07,720
Speaker 5: him said, this is a must win. This is a

739
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:11,480
Speaker 5: huge game. That news came out before the game even started,

740
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:13,840
Speaker 5: which was it's gotta be a little bit worrying when

741
00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:16,880
Speaker 5: the motivational ploys come out ahead of time. Usually you

742
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:19,280
Speaker 5: hear about them afterwards. They're like, look, how great this worked?

743
00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:22,160
Speaker 5: Did not pay off this time to find out ahead

744
00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:24,280
Speaker 5: of time, save the story for afterwards.

745
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:26,640
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, the Lakers go to the Mamba jerseys too.

746
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:28,760
Speaker 3: They weren't scheduled to wear those, but they're like, well

747
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:29,960
Speaker 3: everybody thought this was over.

748
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:33,520
Speaker 6: Davis had out there as well. But that's the thing

749
00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 6: now with Lebron. He's texted them twice now say this

750
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:38,280
Speaker 6: is the most important game of my career. Like he

751
00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 6: context it again.

752
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:41,640
Speaker 1: Kenny got to go to their rooms, got knock on their.

753
00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:44,960
Speaker 6: Door, little message, or is it gonna say, okay, guys,

754
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:47,640
Speaker 6: this time I really mean it. Yeah, it is the

755
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:48,400
Speaker 6: biggest game of.

756
00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:51,680
Speaker 3: A couple more exclamation marks on this one. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

757
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:55,520
Speaker 3: we'll see. I mean, I will say, like, the game

758
00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:57,680
Speaker 3: is so tight. They have to be prepared for a

759
00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:00,400
Speaker 3: Lakers like championship, right, they do have to have like

760
00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:03,440
Speaker 3: stuff ready to go. But yeah, you know Jimmy and

761
00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:05,440
Speaker 3: them are looking over at those and not tonight, not

762
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:07,680
Speaker 3: on our watch. Damn it. No, we're gonna have to

763
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:08,600
Speaker 3: wear coffees down here.

764
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:09,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, you gotta practice.

765
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:12,239
Speaker 4: You gotta practice with those confetti canyons because we've had

766
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:14,960
Speaker 4: a few and in the starter studio before those can

767
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:17,800
Speaker 4: really malfunction. Those are hard, they're hard to work. And

768
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:20,760
Speaker 4: so yes, they had the Larry O'Brian Trophy in the

769
00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:24,120
Speaker 4: Louis Vaton case for the first time, ready to be

770
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:27,240
Speaker 4: pulled out. Not happy that the Larry O'Brian has a

771
00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:31,320
Speaker 4: Louis Vauton case as it's home. Now does it have

772
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:35,320
Speaker 4: to be sponsored to go the way of ice hockey?

773
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:38,480
Speaker 4: The Stanley Cup is in a case, it's guarded by

774
00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:40,400
Speaker 4: one man twelve months.

775
00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:43,120
Speaker 1: Of the year. He's a great man. The great stories

776
00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:44,880
Speaker 1: on it and just put it in a black case.

777
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 4: It just it cheapens it a touch that you have

778
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:50,000
Speaker 4: to sell it. I mean, I'm willing to be sold

779
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:52,120
Speaker 4: for anything. I'm I'm not saying I'm above that, but

780
00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:56,040
Speaker 4: at fact, the fact is a Louis I mean, I tweeted,

781
00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 4: does it come with those dumb brown Louis Vauton shoes?

782
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:01,840
Speaker 4: Does every every player get one of those? And that

783
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:04,320
Speaker 4: wasn't wasn't thrilled with that. But it is funny though,

784
00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:07,200
Speaker 4: because yes, they have to be ready and they also

785
00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:11,000
Speaker 4: have to ask these voters to have their vote ready

786
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:13,320
Speaker 4: as well. So with forty six seconds left, the athletic

787
00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:16,120
Speaker 4: Sam Amick. He said, I finally put my vote in

788
00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:19,200
Speaker 4: with forty six seconds left, and I voted for Lebron, right, and.

789
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:21,200
Speaker 6: Well, you have to if it was a five game series.

790
00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:24,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, no doubt, no doubt, and especially the way ad

791
00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:27,040
Speaker 4: has has changed the last few games Lebron has has

792
00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:28,640
Speaker 4: taken over y.

793
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:31,160
Speaker 3: Lebron is winning finals MVP of the Lakers when that

794
00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:33,400
Speaker 3: Jimmy is winning Finals MVP of the Heat win. I

795
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:36,280
Speaker 3: don't think there's much more to discuss with finals MVP. Sorry,

796
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:39,239
Speaker 3: it maybe to except oh yeah, does the does the

797
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:42,239
Speaker 3: guy on the losing team warrant to vote? Or two?

798
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:45,120
Speaker 3: I guess that's it. That's all where I'm sorry, that

799
00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:47,760
Speaker 3: story is done. It's eighty eight winning it from Lebron,

800
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:49,759
Speaker 3: and if the Heat went, of course, Jimmy's getting It's

801
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:53,719
Speaker 3: not going to Duncan Robinson. Okay unless he hits another. Yeah,

802
00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:56,200
Speaker 3: twenty three's over the next two games. Yeah maybe, I guess.

803
00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:58,840
Speaker 3: I guess that's possible. All right, So I just I

804
00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:00,960
Speaker 3: guess Before we wrap this up, let's get the predictions

805
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:02,640
Speaker 3: out there. Sunday night, Trey, what do you think do

806
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:04,319
Speaker 3: we see the confetti go off or did the heat

807
00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:05,080
Speaker 3: force a Game seven?

808
00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:05,400
Speaker 1: Baby?

809
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:08,360
Speaker 3: We died to Game seven. Baby.

810
00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:11,839
Speaker 5: I'm not picking against Jimmy right now. The Lakers, no doubt,

811
00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:13,960
Speaker 5: should still be the favorites. They should be the favorites

812
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:16,480
Speaker 5: in every game. You saw what Lebron just did in

813
00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:17,319
Speaker 5: a closeout game.

814
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:18,240
Speaker 3: He had an.

815
00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:21,440
Speaker 5: Incredible game that's gonna be forgotten about just because it's

816
00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:24,520
Speaker 5: gonna become the Jimmy Butler Game part two. But if

817
00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:26,759
Speaker 5: the Lakers are able to pull that out, pull that

818
00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:29,080
Speaker 5: one out, we're talking about that in the history of

819
00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:32,399
Speaker 5: Lebron's greatest games. The guy was incredible. It just ended

820
00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:34,799
Speaker 5: up Danny Green didn't even break a shot from the

821
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:38,400
Speaker 5: top of the He I don't know whatever the ingredients

822
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:40,520
Speaker 5: that go into making a brick hard, that's what it

823
00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:43,960
Speaker 5: was because he barely even got it there. But yeah,

824
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:46,080
Speaker 5: that was an incredible game by Lebron. I expect the

825
00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:49,840
Speaker 5: same in game six, another Finals MVP type performance. But

826
00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:52,200
Speaker 5: it is fun to be on the Jimmy Butler train

827
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:55,160
Speaker 5: right now. So I'm pouring up some big face coffee

828
00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:56,040
Speaker 5: and drinking it down.

829
00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:58,280
Speaker 3: All right, fair enough, what do you got Lee?

830
00:35:58,680 --> 00:35:59,880
Speaker 6: Who doesn't want seven games?

831
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:00,480
Speaker 1: Is now?

832
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:02,600
Speaker 6: I mean this would be incredible if the Heat Wherever

833
00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:04,759
Speaker 6: pull this off, because remember when though down to zero,

834
00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:07,759
Speaker 6: it looked like a sweet for sure, especially without Bam

835
00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:11,040
Speaker 6: and Dragic. And now Jimmy has just like just grabbed

836
00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:13,359
Speaker 6: his team by the scruff of the neck and said

837
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:16,399
Speaker 6: we ain't going home yet. And I mean a game

838
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:18,520
Speaker 6: seven would be a perfect way to end this incredible

839
00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:21,400
Speaker 6: bubble season. So yes, come on, Heat, Let's make it seven.

840
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:23,680
Speaker 3: Okay, task predictions you like seven too.

841
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:26,440
Speaker 4: I like seven, but I think it's gonna end in six.

842
00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:30,319
Speaker 4: It's I just think Jimmy can't do the same thing.

843
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:32,400
Speaker 4: He's done it twice in this series in five games,

844
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:35,480
Speaker 4: but it's it's asking a friggin' lot. So somebody, if

845
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:38,880
Speaker 4: Bam has a phenomenal game, that could help out. But

846
00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:40,959
Speaker 4: even if he goes down in six, I do agree

847
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:44,680
Speaker 4: he's going to get some finals MVP votes. Ibraheim XI

848
00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:47,880
Speaker 4: wrote in the chat here Lebron got four out of

849
00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:49,680
Speaker 4: eleven votes in twenty fifteen.

850
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:52,479
Speaker 3: And that is correct, very well okay, and.

851
00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:54,840
Speaker 4: The other seven went to andre Iguodala. If you remember

852
00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:56,759
Speaker 4: zero for Stephan.

853
00:36:56,520 --> 00:37:00,520
Speaker 3: Kurry, Yeah, still still wild. I'm with you. I do

854
00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:03,440
Speaker 3: think it ends I guess I'll go Lakers winning on

855
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:05,200
Speaker 3: Sunday night. But I also thought the Lakers were going

856
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:07,440
Speaker 3: to win this game again through a whole chunk of

857
00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:09,560
Speaker 3: this game when Lebron was locked it, when Lebron's hitting threes,

858
00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:11,879
Speaker 3: I'm like, you're not gonna beat them, and they did

859
00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:15,080
Speaker 3: because Jimmy was just as spectacular. So look, I won't

860
00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:16,640
Speaker 3: be angry with the game seven, but put me down

861
00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:18,920
Speaker 3: for a Lakers winning on Sunday night. We will see tho.

862
00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:21,000
Speaker 3: All right, we have lots more still in today's podcast,

863
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:24,600
Speaker 3: but first a quick word from our sponsors. All right, well,

864
00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:26,440
Speaker 3: we got some well news, I guess we can call

865
00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:28,000
Speaker 3: it news. I got some questions for you guys and

866
00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:30,520
Speaker 3: everyone joining us live on the stream team. We're still

867
00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:33,720
Speaker 3: waiting to find out our Bubble champ right to be decided,

868
00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:35,839
Speaker 3: but it's never too early to start thinking about next

869
00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:38,480
Speaker 3: season when it comes to us. So bet Online has

870
00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:41,600
Speaker 3: the Lakers guys as favorites to win the twenty twenty

871
00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:44,600
Speaker 3: one NBA Championship f four to one, followed by the

872
00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:47,279
Speaker 3: Clippers f five to one, the Warriors in Bucks at

873
00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:49,440
Speaker 3: nine to one, and then the Celtics and the Brooklyn

874
00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:52,160
Speaker 3: nets at twelve to one, but they've got the odds

875
00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:54,160
Speaker 3: for every team. So I know all you guys have

876
00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:56,000
Speaker 3: taken a look at this. I'm sure maybe a lot

877
00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:58,200
Speaker 3: of our listeners have as well. Train will go to

878
00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:02,960
Speaker 3: you first of your best bet for next year's champion,

879
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:05,360
Speaker 3: or maybe even a craziest bet you can go. I

880
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:06,279
Speaker 3: do either or both.

881
00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:09,120
Speaker 5: Well, it makes sense to me that the Lakers and

882
00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:12,279
Speaker 5: Clippers are up top. There's both obviously great teams. The

883
00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:14,759
Speaker 5: Lakers are very close to a championship. The Clippers they

884
00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:16,960
Speaker 5: flamed out, everybody knows it, but they're still going to

885
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:20,160
Speaker 5: be better next year. Just because these super teams that

886
00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:23,600
Speaker 5: get put together usually their first season together. They're still

887
00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:26,279
Speaker 5: figuring things out, however, all the pieces fit, and then

888
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:29,560
Speaker 5: once once the rest of the league sees the success,

889
00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:32,200
Speaker 5: those veterans that really want to ring will hop on

890
00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:34,320
Speaker 5: for cheaper So I'm not surprised to see the Lakers

891
00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:36,560
Speaker 5: and Clippers the top, But the best bet might be

892
00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:39,440
Speaker 5: the Golden State Warriors. I keep forgetting about the Warriors

893
00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:42,400
Speaker 5: coming back and assuming that they should be a championship

894
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:45,960
Speaker 5: contender next year, assuming Steph Curry is back at his

895
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:48,840
Speaker 5: pre injury level, which it was just you know, his hands,

896
00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:50,960
Speaker 5: so it shouldn't be a big deal. Klay Thompson, I

897
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:52,759
Speaker 5: guess is a little bit more of a question since

898
00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:56,040
Speaker 5: it'll be two years off almost for him before he

899
00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:59,520
Speaker 5: comes back. And Draymond Green definitely slowed down this season,

900
00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:03,359
Speaker 5: but he less motivated. Probably he's been going hard doing

901
00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:05,799
Speaker 5: commentary and going hard on Twitter, so I assume he

902
00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:08,160
Speaker 5: can ramp it back up once the season comes. But

903
00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:10,640
Speaker 5: at nine to one odds, you gotta like the Warriors

904
00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:12,600
Speaker 5: a little bit. I think that I don't know if

905
00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:14,239
Speaker 5: they're going to be the third best team in the

906
00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:17,359
Speaker 5: league next season, but you can see a one in

907
00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:20,239
Speaker 5: ten chance of the Warriors looking incredible again and being

908
00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:21,160
Speaker 5: a title team.

909
00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:23,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's fair. What do you think, Lee?

910
00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:24,880
Speaker 3: Do you agree with that with the Warriors?

911
00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:26,759
Speaker 6: Yeah, well, they have that number two pick, which I

912
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:29,160
Speaker 6: think they are going to trade because they want to

913
00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:31,239
Speaker 6: get a veteran who's ready to win, so to sort

914
00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:34,200
Speaker 6: of complement those players who are in their win now window.

915
00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:36,680
Speaker 6: But interesting is Lee, I saw the Miami Heat too,

916
00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:40,360
Speaker 6: are fourteen to one, and there's so many rumors about

917
00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:42,480
Speaker 6: things that they will be doing next season as well,

918
00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:45,120
Speaker 6: and just from the performanceive scene from them this season

919
00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:47,680
Speaker 6: makes me think that the Heat will probably make a

920
00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:50,359
Speaker 6: splash somehow, whether it's a trade, through free agency, through

921
00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:52,960
Speaker 6: the draft, whatever it is. So fourteen to one for

922
00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:54,879
Speaker 6: a team that's already there right now, I think it's

923
00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:57,480
Speaker 6: pretty juicy odds. I mean, I don't think Yarnis is

924
00:39:57,520 --> 00:40:00,960
Speaker 6: going there, but maybe Oladipo finds his They've got Draga

925
00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:03,920
Speaker 6: Hus a free agent. They'll probably bring him back on

926
00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:06,600
Speaker 6: a smaller contract, so they've got some payroll, they've got

927
00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:09,040
Speaker 6: some cap space there they can bring in some players,

928
00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:10,880
Speaker 6: and it's the sort of thing now this has just

929
00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:14,120
Speaker 6: really reinforced what the Heat is all about, that culture

930
00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:16,879
Speaker 6: of like we're always competitive, We're always a chance come

931
00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:19,760
Speaker 6: to Miami and you could be competing for a championship.

932
00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:21,480
Speaker 6: Because if you look at the Eastern Conference, I mean

933
00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:24,279
Speaker 6: the Brooklyn Nets, everyone's expecting them to be good next year,

934
00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:25,719
Speaker 6: but it's going to take a little bit of time,

935
00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:27,840
Speaker 6: I think, just for KD and Kyrie to sort of

936
00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:29,120
Speaker 6: get on the same page. I mean, they're going to

937
00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:30,760
Speaker 6: be great if they're out their best, but we saw

938
00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:33,480
Speaker 6: when Kyrie played in Brooklyn this season. You know it

939
00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:35,359
Speaker 6: took him a while to sort of figure things out,

940
00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:37,480
Speaker 6: and they didn't. The season didn't end the way they

941
00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:40,120
Speaker 6: wanted it. To the Raptors, you think they're probably going

942
00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:41,719
Speaker 6: to take a little bit of a step back from

943
00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:44,799
Speaker 6: where they were this season. The Celtics interesting, I'm not

944
00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:46,840
Speaker 6: sure how they're going to go next season. So I

945
00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:50,040
Speaker 6: think at forteing to one, the heat, that's pretty appetizing.

946
00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:52,319
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, I mean the two teams, like Trey said,

947
00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:54,160
Speaker 3: the Warriors name to one because you sort of forget

948
00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:56,399
Speaker 3: about them and are there a total favorite right away

949
00:40:56,400 --> 00:40:58,560
Speaker 3: if everybody's healthy. And then, like you said, the nets

950
00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:01,279
Speaker 3: are the nets like this year's clip right now, you

951
00:41:01,360 --> 00:41:03,879
Speaker 3: got your stars, You're expected to go win a title

952
00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:06,680
Speaker 3: right away, but that's usually not how it goes in

953
00:41:06,719 --> 00:41:08,719
Speaker 3: the NBA. It does take a year or two. But

954
00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:10,640
Speaker 3: they're an interesting pick. I think at twelve to one, task,

955
00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:11,440
Speaker 3: where does your eyes go?

956
00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:16,560
Speaker 4: Well, the poor Denver Nuggets, they just they got there

957
00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:20,640
Speaker 4: to the conference finals and now those three monstrous teams

958
00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:22,880
Speaker 4: at the top of their conference. The Warriors joined the

959
00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:25,839
Speaker 4: Lakers and the Clippers, and I believe the Warriors are

960
00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:28,440
Speaker 4: definitely legit and if they trade that number two pick,

961
00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:31,560
Speaker 4: which they should for another part that you'd imagine is

962
00:41:31,600 --> 00:41:35,400
Speaker 4: a pretty solid part to join Clay Steph Dre and

963
00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:38,239
Speaker 4: I'm not going to say Wiggans quite yet, but you know,

964
00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:41,760
Speaker 4: we to join that threesomes.

965
00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:43,959
Speaker 1: That's a spectacular team.

966
00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:46,480
Speaker 4: So I feel bad for the Nuggets there, but they

967
00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:49,799
Speaker 4: have a tough, tough task, and I guess it's not

968
00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:52,200
Speaker 4: really disrespect to the Eastern Conference that the top three

969
00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:54,799
Speaker 4: teams on this list are from the West. But I

970
00:41:54,840 --> 00:41:57,760
Speaker 4: am a little surprised that the Boston Celtics are below

971
00:41:57,800 --> 00:42:00,319
Speaker 4: the Bucks with their performance and the fact that their

972
00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:02,640
Speaker 4: team is going to be the same, even though John

973
00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:05,920
Speaker 4: Hollinger wrote about the the tax implications for keeping all

974
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:10,720
Speaker 4: these guys. They're young, they're stars, more experience. I expect

975
00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:12,279
Speaker 4: them to be great. I am looking forward to seeing

976
00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:17,080
Speaker 4: what the Bucks do this offseason, but I just I

977
00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:19,560
Speaker 4: would jump the Celtics up there over the Bucks. And

978
00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:23,880
Speaker 4: everybody gets really excited in the offseason for the unknowns,

979
00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:25,600
Speaker 4: for the teams that you don't know. So the Nets

980
00:42:26,239 --> 00:42:29,919
Speaker 4: they look juicy on paper, just like the Clippers last

981
00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:32,120
Speaker 4: year and the Lakers at the same time last year

982
00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:35,680
Speaker 4: as well. So it's not surprising. The Nets are pretty

983
00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:38,120
Speaker 4: high on this list, but doesn't mean they're going to

984
00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:41,440
Speaker 4: be great, even though they have two freaking stars and

985
00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:44,920
Speaker 4: they have six coaches. According to Kyrie Irving, it doesn't matter.

986
00:42:45,320 --> 00:42:48,880
Speaker 4: It really doesn't matter at this point. They could be

987
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:51,480
Speaker 4: just average. They really could, which is dumb to say

988
00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:53,680
Speaker 4: about a Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving team, But it

989
00:42:53,719 --> 00:42:56,319
Speaker 4: doesn't mean it's going to work. So I'm looking forward

990
00:42:56,360 --> 00:42:58,799
Speaker 4: to that just from a curiosity perspective.

991
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:02,320
Speaker 3: The biggest surprise from this, Liz to me because somebody

992
00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:05,680
Speaker 3: was drinking the bubble juice. The Phoenix Suns forty to

993
00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:08,160
Speaker 3: one odds to win the title, the same as the

994
00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:11,920
Speaker 3: Jazz and the Pelicans. Higher than you know, like a

995
00:43:11,920 --> 00:43:13,759
Speaker 3: lot of teams that are bad, I get below them,

996
00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:15,719
Speaker 3: but like them much higher than the Thunder and the

997
00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:17,760
Speaker 3: Grizzlies and the Hawks and the Bowls and all the Pacers,

998
00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:20,239
Speaker 3: and like that's forty to one for the Suns. Like

999
00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:23,320
Speaker 3: I love Devin Booker, but whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa Sillier

1000
00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:25,480
Speaker 3: roll a little bit here, so now maybe hey, look,

1001
00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:27,120
Speaker 3: maybe the Suns fans are going to jump on that early.

1002
00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:28,560
Speaker 3: Get in there, all right, that's a fun one, all right.

1003
00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:30,960
Speaker 3: Next one here. On Thursday, I tease this off the top,

1004
00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:34,400
Speaker 3: Clipper's president of Basketball Ops Lawrence Frank was honored with

1005
00:43:34,480 --> 00:43:38,040
Speaker 3: the NBA Executive of the Year award. Frank, you know,

1006
00:43:38,120 --> 00:43:41,120
Speaker 3: obviously helped orchestrate the franchise's biggest offseason moves ever by

1007
00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:43,560
Speaker 3: signing Kauhi and trading for Paul George. He received ten

1008
00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:46,279
Speaker 3: first place votes. He earned sixty one points from a

1009
00:43:46,280 --> 00:43:50,200
Speaker 3: panel of NBA team basketball executives. That's who votes on

1010
00:43:50,239 --> 00:43:53,839
Speaker 3: this thunder GM. Sam Presty finished second, heat President pat

1011
00:43:53,880 --> 00:43:57,120
Speaker 3: Riley finished third. Lee, Let's go to you surprised by

1012
00:43:57,120 --> 00:44:00,880
Speaker 3: the Lawrence Frank pick? Are you as angered twitterise with

1013
00:44:00,960 --> 00:44:01,440
Speaker 3: this selection?

1014
00:44:02,239 --> 00:44:04,719
Speaker 6: I wasn't angry, but I was kind of shocked when

1015
00:44:04,719 --> 00:44:07,040
Speaker 6: you look at how the Clippers season ended. Now they

1016
00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:09,720
Speaker 6: did the voting before the season's ends, of course they're

1017
00:44:10,680 --> 00:44:13,960
Speaker 6: but it's just kind of like, I mean, Kawhi Leonard

1018
00:44:14,040 --> 00:44:16,560
Speaker 6: wanted to go to the Clippers, Paul George wanted to

1019
00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:19,319
Speaker 6: go to the Clippers, and Sam Presty basically just said,

1020
00:44:19,320 --> 00:44:21,880
Speaker 6: all right, well, just give me all your assets and

1021
00:44:21,920 --> 00:44:23,239
Speaker 6: you can have the guy who doesn't want to be

1022
00:44:23,320 --> 00:44:26,120
Speaker 6: here anymore. And I think I think it's more just

1023
00:44:26,120 --> 00:44:28,799
Speaker 6: people kind of mocking the Clippers because it's like, you

1024
00:44:28,840 --> 00:44:30,799
Speaker 6: did all that, you were the favorite, and then you

1025
00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:33,800
Speaker 6: blew a three one lead in the conference final, Conference semifinal,

1026
00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:38,080
Speaker 6: excuse me, So it was more that people just kind

1027
00:44:38,080 --> 00:44:40,280
Speaker 6: of piling on the Clippers, like you win this meaningless,

1028
00:44:40,360 --> 00:44:43,359
Speaker 6: largely meaningless award for a season that ended in a

1029
00:44:43,440 --> 00:44:46,719
Speaker 6: really big disappointment for you, especially when you got the

1030
00:44:46,760 --> 00:44:48,719
Speaker 6: two stars. I mean, you had a great offseason by

1031
00:44:48,760 --> 00:44:52,680
Speaker 6: getting those two stars, but watch the long term payoff

1032
00:44:52,680 --> 00:44:54,400
Speaker 6: if they if you know, they're both free agents at

1033
00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:56,319
Speaker 6: the end of next season, so maybe it was all

1034
00:44:56,360 --> 00:44:58,680
Speaker 6: for nothing in the end. But it's also just funny

1035
00:44:58,680 --> 00:45:00,760
Speaker 6: when you think Lawrence Frank because it's like it doesn't

1036
00:45:00,800 --> 00:45:03,680
Speaker 6: feel like he's the only one there, Like you feel

1037
00:45:03,719 --> 00:45:05,680
Speaker 6: like like the ownership there with Steve Former and Doctor

1038
00:45:05,719 --> 00:45:08,400
Speaker 6: Rivers has evolved as well, Like it's such a collective,

1039
00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:11,319
Speaker 6: collaborative effort. So for Lawrence Frank to get it, you're

1040
00:45:11,360 --> 00:45:12,680
Speaker 6: kind of like, well, yeah, I mean, I know he

1041
00:45:12,719 --> 00:45:15,880
Speaker 6: was in Toronto watching Kawhi for the whole season of

1042
00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:19,200
Speaker 6: the year before. But again, it's it's these awards of

1043
00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:22,080
Speaker 6: most of these wards are a bit silly, but you know, again,

1044
00:45:22,160 --> 00:45:25,120
Speaker 6: these guys wanted to come to the Clippers. Lawrence Frank's

1045
00:45:25,160 --> 00:45:27,279
Speaker 6: basically just had to sort of make sure it would happen.

1046
00:45:27,280 --> 00:45:29,200
Speaker 3: Oh, hold on, Kawhi said, I will go to the

1047
00:45:29,239 --> 00:45:32,400
Speaker 3: Clippers if you get me another superstar to play with me.

1048
00:45:32,600 --> 00:45:34,520
Speaker 3: So you know, Jimmy Butler's name was being thrown around

1049
00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:37,040
Speaker 3: Paul George, so he did have to orchestrate that. But

1050
00:45:37,080 --> 00:45:40,600
Speaker 3: I'm with you, Sam Presty took him for everything and

1051
00:45:40,640 --> 00:45:44,040
Speaker 3: the thunder were better. Yeah, So, I mean, I don't

1052
00:45:44,080 --> 00:45:46,320
Speaker 3: really know how he sort of doesn't win this award.

1053
00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:48,400
Speaker 3: I think it's a bit surprising that Frank got it,

1054
00:45:48,920 --> 00:45:52,920
Speaker 3: But I don't care enough to get all upset. Yeah,

1055
00:45:52,920 --> 00:45:55,240
Speaker 3: but Trey, what do you think? I'm with you, Skeets.

1056
00:45:55,280 --> 00:45:58,840
Speaker 5: I don't care, because how can you possibly get upset

1057
00:45:58,840 --> 00:46:01,560
Speaker 5: about this? The other g voted on it, so that

1058
00:46:01,680 --> 00:46:04,960
Speaker 5: means there are thirty votes. You can't count up thirty

1059
00:46:05,120 --> 00:46:07,359
Speaker 5: votes in like a night. Why do we have to

1060
00:46:07,560 --> 00:46:11,680
Speaker 5: wait until the Clippers are eliminated with an embarrassing elimination

1061
00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:13,919
Speaker 5: for them to get all these awards? They also took

1062
00:46:13,920 --> 00:46:16,560
Speaker 5: home the Hustle Awards, something nobody's ever heard of. But

1063
00:46:16,960 --> 00:46:19,680
Speaker 5: they're just in a tough spot because the Clippers, you know,

1064
00:46:19,800 --> 00:46:22,239
Speaker 5: they had a great offseason last year, they had a

1065
00:46:22,280 --> 00:46:26,359
Speaker 5: solid season this year despite everything that happened with LA,

1066
00:46:26,520 --> 00:46:28,840
Speaker 5: this is still the farthest they've gone in the playoffs.

1067
00:46:28,880 --> 00:46:31,520
Speaker 5: They gotta be happy getting to a Game seven of

1068
00:46:31,719 --> 00:46:34,960
Speaker 5: the second round, but it just looks brutal because of

1069
00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:37,600
Speaker 5: how things ended. On the other hand, you look at

1070
00:46:37,600 --> 00:46:40,440
Speaker 5: the Lakers, they're still going. People assume there would be

1071
00:46:41,680 --> 00:46:45,160
Speaker 5: problems in the locker room bringing in Dwight and Rondo

1072
00:46:45,280 --> 00:46:48,480
Speaker 5: was already there. Lebron's a big personality. Obviously Davis had

1073
00:46:48,520 --> 00:46:51,640
Speaker 5: his kerfuffle with the Pelicans, there was nothing like that.

1074
00:46:51,680 --> 00:46:53,600
Speaker 5: But if you sign Lebron on your team, you're just

1075
00:46:53,680 --> 00:46:56,759
Speaker 5: forfeiting any chance of ever getting Executive of the Year.

1076
00:46:56,800 --> 00:46:59,320
Speaker 5: Despite the fact that every single executive in the league

1077
00:46:59,400 --> 00:47:02,040
Speaker 5: is jealous of you for having Lebron. It's seen as

1078
00:47:02,040 --> 00:47:04,399
Speaker 5: he's making the calls, he's bringing in.

1079
00:47:04,320 --> 00:47:06,879
Speaker 3: All the players. So you get Lebron, but you are

1080
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:09,799
Speaker 3: not taking home the EO. Y. Yeah, I think you're

1081
00:47:09,880 --> 00:47:12,480
Speaker 3: right there. There's probably a lot of jealously jealousy with

1082
00:47:12,520 --> 00:47:14,920
Speaker 3: these sort of votes and who they are, are not

1083
00:47:14,960 --> 00:47:16,080
Speaker 3: going to give them two tests.

1084
00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:18,759
Speaker 4: Yeah, but I think Lawrence Frank and the Clipper's front

1085
00:47:18,800 --> 00:47:22,439
Speaker 4: office did deserve it over the Lakers because they beat

1086
00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:25,360
Speaker 4: them throughout the season. Yet you know, forget about you

1087
00:47:25,400 --> 00:47:28,200
Speaker 4: know the superstars. They beat the Lakers at the trade

1088
00:47:28,239 --> 00:47:31,080
Speaker 4: deadline when they got the higher scoring Morris Marcus Morris

1089
00:47:31,080 --> 00:47:34,720
Speaker 4: over Markkeith Morris. They got Reggie Jackson while the Lakers

1090
00:47:34,760 --> 00:47:39,160
Speaker 4: were courting Darren Collison who retired, and so they beat them.

1091
00:47:39,760 --> 00:47:43,879
Speaker 4: And so this is like the Yiannistompo storyline of m VP.

1092
00:47:44,560 --> 00:47:47,680
Speaker 4: That's what everybody was saying during the regular season. They

1093
00:47:47,719 --> 00:47:50,479
Speaker 4: did it, and now it comes out a couple months later.

1094
00:47:50,520 --> 00:47:54,439
Speaker 4: So everybody angry that Giannis wins m VP. Everybody yet

1095
00:47:54,800 --> 00:47:58,360
Speaker 4: angry for some odd reason that Lawrence Frank wins Executive

1096
00:47:58,360 --> 00:48:01,960
Speaker 4: of the Year. And I think the NBA is smart

1097
00:48:02,040 --> 00:48:05,440
Speaker 4: keep it this way though, I know, I know we

1098
00:48:05,520 --> 00:48:07,839
Speaker 4: should have it right away, give you honest the MVP,

1099
00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:12,040
Speaker 4: so he doesn't receive this ridicule, but it gets people amped,

1100
00:48:12,840 --> 00:48:16,760
Speaker 4: gets the engagement up. I think it's it's good for chatter,

1101
00:48:16,960 --> 00:48:19,960
Speaker 4: So why the heck not gives us something to talk about.

1102
00:48:20,120 --> 00:48:24,680
Speaker 4: Uh that's that's in addition to all these these great games.

1103
00:48:24,840 --> 00:48:27,880
Speaker 4: But uh, I do, I do think it. It's deserved

1104
00:48:27,920 --> 00:48:30,719
Speaker 4: for Lawrence Frank a guy with two first names. That's

1105
00:48:30,719 --> 00:48:32,759
Speaker 4: why he went and got Paul George. Great comment there

1106
00:48:32,800 --> 00:48:35,279
Speaker 4: and in the chat, I love a guy with two

1107
00:48:35,320 --> 00:48:35,880
Speaker 4: first names.

1108
00:48:36,040 --> 00:48:38,239
Speaker 1: Love a guy with you. Is there another one off

1109
00:48:38,239 --> 00:48:39,480
Speaker 1: the top of the Chris Paul.

1110
00:48:39,719 --> 00:48:46,640
Speaker 5: It's a weird Why Leonard, Leonard, Beverly, Joe. These are

1111
00:48:46,640 --> 00:48:48,439
Speaker 5: all Clippers, all have two first names.

1112
00:48:48,520 --> 00:48:49,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I see it.

1113
00:48:49,080 --> 00:48:53,240
Speaker 1: Try Beverly.

1114
00:48:55,760 --> 00:48:55,960
Speaker 6: Yeah.

1115
00:48:56,080 --> 00:48:57,640
Speaker 3: You know what's weird about this award? I never thought

1116
00:48:57,640 --> 00:49:00,759
Speaker 3: about it until now. It's Executive of the Year. So

1117
00:49:00,840 --> 00:49:02,480
Speaker 3: you can give it to like you can throw your

1118
00:49:02,560 --> 00:49:05,520
Speaker 3: vote at a GM. You can throw your vote at

1119
00:49:05,560 --> 00:49:10,080
Speaker 3: like a president like Riley, a president of basketball operations

1120
00:49:10,120 --> 00:49:13,200
Speaker 3: like Fry. It's like it's so open. Really, I've never

1121
00:49:13,239 --> 00:49:16,120
Speaker 3: really thought about that. It's not just GM. It's like

1122
00:49:16,760 --> 00:49:18,920
Speaker 3: whoever I think is we need.

1123
00:49:18,800 --> 00:49:20,680
Speaker 6: To We need a president of the year at a

1124
00:49:20,760 --> 00:49:23,480
Speaker 6: GM of the year and assistant to the GM of

1125
00:49:23,480 --> 00:49:25,239
Speaker 6: the year as well, right right, right?

00:49:25,440 --> 00:49:26,440
Speaker 1: Really spread it around.

00:49:26,880 --> 00:49:30,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, so Frank gets it, and uh cool let's take

1128
00:49:30,440 --> 00:49:35,359
Speaker 3: one more quick break before tweeted the night. All right,

00:49:35,360 --> 00:49:36,239
Speaker 3: time for tweeting the night.

1130
00:49:38,400 --> 00:49:39,439
Speaker 1: Tweet out the night.

1131
00:49:40,160 --> 00:49:49,680
Speaker 4: Wow, some fantastic stuff coming off of Jimmy Butler being

1132
00:49:49,800 --> 00:49:51,319
Speaker 4: exhausted hitting that.

1133
00:49:51,400 --> 00:49:52,080
Speaker 1: Shot with a boat.

1134
00:49:52,120 --> 00:49:53,640
Speaker 4: All right again to all, I should say, with forty

1135
00:49:53,640 --> 00:49:59,080
Speaker 4: five seconds left, hanging over the end board there Josh

1136
00:49:59,120 --> 00:50:02,959
Speaker 4: Bryce split screen with Lee Ellis having eaten.

1137
00:50:03,640 --> 00:50:05,040
Speaker 1: Is it how many bananas did you eat?

1138
00:50:05,120 --> 00:50:06,359
Speaker 6: Lee?

1139
00:50:05,640 --> 00:50:05,759
Speaker 2: Who?

1140
00:50:06,480 --> 00:50:07,280
Speaker 6: Nine for the show?

1141
00:50:07,360 --> 00:50:08,640
Speaker 1: Yeah? Ninth for the show.

1142
00:50:08,719 --> 00:50:12,560
Speaker 4: You you can't forget the three you had that morning? Yeah,

1143
00:50:12,840 --> 00:50:15,560
Speaker 4: some strange reasons. So a small screen of Lee hanging

1144
00:50:15,600 --> 00:50:19,279
Speaker 4: over with the starter's desk with nine banana pills. The

1145
00:50:19,320 --> 00:50:22,040
Speaker 4: other three are in his compost, with Jimmy Butler hanging

1146
00:50:22,080 --> 00:50:24,719
Speaker 4: over being board. I see no difference forty seven minutes

1147
00:50:24,760 --> 00:50:29,160
Speaker 4: of basketball versus forty seven hundred milligrams of potassium, and

1148
00:50:29,320 --> 00:50:31,640
Speaker 4: Lee overloaded on potassium that day.

1149
00:50:31,520 --> 00:50:34,439
Speaker 6: Right, Yeah, it was a banana hungover the next day,

1150
00:50:34,600 --> 00:50:36,759
Speaker 6: it was. It was crazy. I didn't eat banana for

1151
00:50:36,800 --> 00:50:38,160
Speaker 6: two or three days afterwards.

1152
00:50:39,680 --> 00:50:42,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, You're longest streak without a banana.

1153
00:50:41,880 --> 00:50:45,239
Speaker 6: Easily easily easily because I work up the next day

1154
00:50:45,239 --> 00:50:46,640
Speaker 6: and I have one every morning, and I was just like,

1155
00:50:46,719 --> 00:50:49,000
Speaker 6: oh my god, I just don't feel like one at all.

1156
00:50:49,040 --> 00:50:50,920
Speaker 6: And that that just lasted a couple of days, just

1157
00:50:50,960 --> 00:50:53,440
Speaker 6: like a note. Well, hangovers, I guess don't usually last

1158
00:50:53,440 --> 00:50:56,120
Speaker 6: three days, but this one did. But I'm back on

1159
00:50:56,160 --> 00:50:56,640
Speaker 6: track now.

1160
00:50:56,680 --> 00:51:00,200
Speaker 5: So you know, since then, you've been doubling up make

1161
00:51:00,280 --> 00:51:01,000
Speaker 5: up for the misdays.

1162
00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:01,799
Speaker 3: That's smart, Lee.

1163
00:51:02,320 --> 00:51:04,440
Speaker 5: If you're nine nanas deep, you think you could go

1164
00:51:04,480 --> 00:51:07,360
Speaker 5: to the line in the finals game four for four

1165
00:51:07,760 --> 00:51:09,040
Speaker 5: from the free throw line.

1166
00:51:10,600 --> 00:51:12,480
Speaker 6: I would love to take on that challenge, you know,

1167
00:51:12,600 --> 00:51:14,200
Speaker 6: just to see if I can do it. Because where

1168
00:51:14,280 --> 00:51:17,239
Speaker 6: Jimmy's legs were tied, my belly was just heavy and full.

1169
00:51:17,320 --> 00:51:19,640
Speaker 3: So, you know, do you want to start a new

1170
00:51:19,719 --> 00:51:23,160
Speaker 3: like Twitter challenge social media challenge nine bananas and see

1171
00:51:23,160 --> 00:51:23,799
Speaker 3: if we can hit four.

1172
00:51:25,160 --> 00:51:26,880
Speaker 6: I don't want to have to eat those nine bananas

1173
00:51:26,880 --> 00:51:28,600
Speaker 6: again the challenge.

1174
00:51:28,640 --> 00:51:32,120
Speaker 4: Man, you're doing this show from the great state of Alabama.

1175
00:51:32,160 --> 00:51:36,680
Speaker 4: Did you bring bananas to Bama or Bama Bananas?

1176
00:51:36,920 --> 00:51:39,080
Speaker 6: We picked them up yesterday. Yeah, we picked a few up,

1177
00:51:39,520 --> 00:51:41,520
Speaker 6: a couple couple of organic ones from a little, uh

1178
00:51:41,680 --> 00:51:50,600
Speaker 6: little grocery shop from here. Sood bananas and Alabama Yeah.

1179
00:51:50,680 --> 00:51:52,799
Speaker 3: Also, go back to the photo for a second. It

1180
00:51:52,840 --> 00:51:55,319
Speaker 3: doesn't look like you ate those bananas. To me, every

1181
00:51:55,320 --> 00:51:57,600
Speaker 3: time I see this photo, look like you did something

1182
00:51:57,600 --> 00:52:03,279
Speaker 3: else to those bananas. Always you as well. Yeah, it's

1183
00:52:03,360 --> 00:52:07,239
Speaker 3: just I don't know, it's so exotic that photo in

1184
00:52:07,239 --> 00:52:10,279
Speaker 3: a weird way, very very weird.

1185
00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:12,120
Speaker 1: Man.

1186
00:52:12,160 --> 00:52:16,479
Speaker 3: You think you could take down Wow in one sitting? Yeah,

1187
00:52:16,880 --> 00:52:19,000
Speaker 3: like half an hour and a half an hour? Yeah,

00:52:25,040 --> 00:52:26,440
Speaker 3: don't know. That's a lot of banana.

00:52:33,360 --> 00:52:34,720

Speaker 4: The beak banana in between Lee's legs there, I mean

1195
00:52:40,360 --> 00:52:42,839

00:52:42,760 --> 00:52:45,040
Speaker 1: Bottom of the banana. You can see the boxers.

1197
00:52:45,920 --> 00:52:47,799

Speaker 4: the yellow tights on.

1199
00:52:49,960 --> 00:52:53,279

Speaker 4: but could be dangerous.

1219
00:53:49,560 --> 00:53:50,480

1220
00:53:51,320 --> 00:53:52,640
