I hate to break it to you. 0:03:11.080 --> 0:03:13.480 I think there's only one of two games left, but 0:03:13.840 --> 0:03:18.080 Nicola Yoki sowed up the MVP to not the Nuggets 0:03:18.120 --> 0:03:20.040 beat the Templewoards one sixteen to one. 0:03:20.080 --> 0:03:20.560 On seven. 0:03:21.080 --> 0:03:24.360 Nicola Yogic forty one points, eleven rebounds, seven or six 0:03:24.560 --> 0:03:27.840 three steals on sixteen of twenty shooting, and he did 0:03:27.880 --> 0:03:30.000 it against the guy many Believa will win the Defensive 0:03:30.000 --> 0:03:32.239 Player of the Year. He made mince meat out of it. 0:03:32.760 --> 0:03:36.480 If I'm Rudy Gobert, I'm sick because every time he. 0:03:36.440 --> 0:03:41.000 Goes up against nicolea yogic Gil, he cooking for forty. 0:03:40.960 --> 0:03:43.280 Yeah. You know, the thing about that is. 0:03:45.520 --> 0:03:50.960 Showing how Rudy plays him, which is he's not guarding 0:03:51.000 --> 0:03:56.400 him as a man. He's a secondary defender, which means 0:03:57.400 --> 0:04:01.440 these defensive wards you're getting, you're not getting it stopping 0:04:01.520 --> 0:04:07.440 the guy. That's a problem, right, yo, kid, Just who 0:04:07.400 --> 0:04:09.760 are you gonna get? Anderson for most of the part 0:04:09.920 --> 0:04:12.960 nas red and then Rudy sitting in the back trying 0:04:12.960 --> 0:04:15.520 to block the shot and alter the shot. You can 0:04:15.680 --> 0:04:18.599 say you're a great defensive player of the year and 0:04:18.720 --> 0:04:22.640 you can't even actually guard the best player, like yeah. 0:04:22.320 --> 0:04:24.440 He had forty because you want. 0:04:24.240 --> 0:04:27.680 To sit back there protecting the rim instead of blocking 0:04:27.880 --> 0:04:29.480 and guarding the guy that. 0:04:29.640 --> 0:04:30.320 Is the threat. 0:04:31.440 --> 0:04:34.000 I think they started out probably with you know, you know, 0:04:34.040 --> 0:04:35.840 you try to give him a different look. Any great 0:04:35.880 --> 0:04:38.880 score or guys, you try to give him a different look. 0:04:38.920 --> 0:04:40.960 You don't want to give him a steady diet of anything. 0:04:41.240 --> 0:04:44.039 They are very few guys that were at that elite level. 0:04:44.320 --> 0:04:46.240 You know, back in the day, Rodman would take the 0:04:46.279 --> 0:04:48.120 best player and he would guard him the entire game. 0:04:48.440 --> 0:04:51.400 Or you had Jordan would do it for some for 0:04:51.560 --> 0:04:54.280 stretches of time. Lebron could do it, Kobe could do it, 0:04:54.360 --> 0:04:56.960 Kawhi but for the most but you know back then, 0:04:57.080 --> 0:04:59.640 David Robinson, m keem olaija waa. They wasn't no switching off. 0:04:59.640 --> 0:05:02.560 It wasn't or to Storp. You take David Roberts for this. No, 0:05:02.839 --> 0:05:05.719 a team had him and he had to neutralize him. 0:05:05.839 --> 0:05:07.720 Plus he needed to go give you his twenty his 0:05:07.839 --> 0:05:09.200 customary twenty five to thirty. 0:05:09.200 --> 0:05:09.520 Also. 0:05:10.000 --> 0:05:15.160 But this is why I believe when the Yama Wimby 0:05:15.200 --> 0:05:18.000 should win Defensive Player of the Year, because this defensive 0:05:18.000 --> 0:05:21.360 player of the year, who's the best defensive player, not 0:05:21.560 --> 0:05:23.279 who's on the best defensive team. 0:05:23.760 --> 0:05:24.080 Uh huh. 0:05:24.360 --> 0:05:27.160 Because let me ask you this, if I took when 0:05:27.360 --> 0:05:30.440 if I took ro Gobert off that team and I 0:05:30.520 --> 0:05:33.200 put in Winby, would they be better or worse? And 0:05:33.240 --> 0:05:38.720 if I put Gobert on the Spurs, would they improve? No, 0:05:39.800 --> 0:05:43.719 Wimby is a better defender than Rudy Gobert because you 0:05:43.760 --> 0:05:45.760 know how I know they had a three on one 0:05:46.040 --> 0:05:47.560 and ain't nobody want to lay it up? 0:05:48.920 --> 0:05:50.760 You take it now? You go ahead, Hey, as a 0:05:50.839 --> 0:05:52.480 matter of fact, let's kick it out to the three. 0:05:52.640 --> 0:05:54.440 And then he wouldn't even take the three because he 0:05:54.520 --> 0:05:57.559 saw a Womby headed out that way. So for me, Gil, 0:05:58.000 --> 0:06:00.720 I think Wemby should be when the Fenstive Player of 0:06:00.720 --> 0:06:03.080 the Year. I don't know if it's ever happened before 0:06:03.080 --> 0:06:05.840 a rookie wins the Fenstive Player of the Year, But 0:06:06.120 --> 0:06:09.200 if there's ever a year where a rookie should win 0:06:09.240 --> 0:06:14.039 the award with such prestige, this is the year should happen. 0:06:14.920 --> 0:06:17.240 It is this, This is his award. 0:06:17.480 --> 0:06:22.320 I mean it's hands down defensive player, meaning he's guarding 0:06:22.400 --> 0:06:25.600 the ball, he's help side, he's defending. Yeah, he got 0:06:25.600 --> 0:06:29.360 a hit for seventy and six. But he took the challenge. Yeah, 0:06:29.440 --> 0:06:31.440 he took the challenge to try to guard these guys, 0:06:31.600 --> 0:06:34.520 knowing that he couldn't stop Jokisch, He couldn't stop and 0:06:34.640 --> 0:06:38.479 be those were learning Those are learning games, and he's 0:06:38.600 --> 0:06:42.640 grown from the first day we seen him to now yes, 0:06:42.680 --> 0:06:45.120 it looks like a whole different player, and he does 0:06:45.640 --> 0:06:48.400 me watching this game today, this. 0:06:48.240 --> 0:06:52.520 Is the battle of number one and Rudy. You didn't 0:06:52.520 --> 0:06:55.640 want to take the challenge? You, No, I don't blame. 0:06:55.680 --> 0:06:57.080 It would be the. 0:06:57.520 --> 0:07:01.760 Guy that is the winner. Joki says, all right, look 0:07:01.800 --> 0:07:04.120 at I got the NDP on the line. I'm gonna 0:07:04.160 --> 0:07:06.839 show you what I'm gonna do. And I don't I 0:07:06.880 --> 0:07:12.120 don't get why white teams put guards and small forwards 0:07:12.240 --> 0:07:15.360 on Yokish, but it's just dumb basketball. 0:07:16.320 --> 0:07:17.400 Back gil. 0:07:17.440 --> 0:07:19.880 I think they look at it and he doesn't have 0:07:19.920 --> 0:07:24.400 the musculature or of Dwhite Howard, or he's not a 0:07:24.520 --> 0:07:27.239 skulpting like an Elies. You want to have the caps 0:07:27.280 --> 0:07:29.760 on his shoulder like a David Robinson. So you just 0:07:29.840 --> 0:07:31.960 look at it. You're like, man, he just looked like 0:07:32.000 --> 0:07:34.840 a blob. I mean, he ain't got no definition, he 0:07:34.880 --> 0:07:36.960 ain't got nothing. The only cuss on him is that 0:07:37.000 --> 0:07:39.679 when people scratch it. He probably ain't got no cuss 0:07:39.680 --> 0:07:41.800 on his knees or anything like that, or you know, 0:07:41.960 --> 0:07:45.200 scrapes on his legs or nothing. And so you probably 0:07:45.320 --> 0:07:50.000 underestimated by just looking at it. But once he gets 0:07:50.000 --> 0:07:52.960 out on the court at some point in time, you're like, well, hell, 0:07:54.000 --> 0:07:57.000 he moving people. He he dunks, he dips in with 0:07:57.040 --> 0:08:00.600 that shoulder. He's just lodging people from that spot. So 0:08:00.760 --> 0:08:02.840 clearly he's stronger that he looks. 0:08:03.120 --> 0:08:05.280 Yeah, you wouldn't put you wouldn't put a small guy 0:08:05.360 --> 0:08:09.600 on Zach Randolph when he played or Marc Gasol, right, 0:08:09.960 --> 0:08:12.640 had the same body and the same type of. 0:08:12.600 --> 0:08:14.480 Movie he is skilled with. 0:08:14.720 --> 0:08:18.080 Yes, you're not gonna bait him to throw all of 0:08:18.080 --> 0:08:19.320 his weight on you. 0:08:19.320 --> 0:08:21.400 No, he's just gonna move around. 0:08:21.400 --> 0:08:24.400 He's just gonna keep moving to you get and you're 0:08:24.440 --> 0:08:27.920 so small compared to him. When he does decide to shoot, 0:08:27.960 --> 0:08:30.640 you're nowhere Like this is like Kate putting the guard 0:08:30.680 --> 0:08:35.040 on KD. He doesn't sit down there right, like fucking fly. 0:08:35.800 --> 0:08:39.319 Sorry about that word. You're a fly in his world? Yeah, right, 0:08:39.320 --> 0:08:41.560 and that and that's that's just the honest troop, Like 0:08:41.600 --> 0:08:44.520 why are you putting why are you putting smaller guys 0:08:44.559 --> 0:08:46.720 on him? You just you're just feeding him. 0:08:47.000 --> 0:08:47.600 Yeah. 0:08:47.679 --> 0:08:50.120 And the thing is Gil that he is so good 0:08:50.160 --> 0:08:53.240 at and the grapes are really good at. He knows 0:08:53.640 --> 0:08:57.520 the moment you anchor, he spins off the boot the 0:08:57.679 --> 0:09:01.400 moment he feels you you th thirty, you break yourself like, 0:09:01.400 --> 0:09:04.640 oh you playing for this? And he just if you notice, 0:09:04.760 --> 0:09:07.480 he'll just keep like okay, oh that's a little harder. 0:09:07.679 --> 0:09:11.240 Oh into the basket he goes, and then with damn, 0:09:11.280 --> 0:09:14.960 I thought I had no and he gil. I'll be honest, 0:09:15.120 --> 0:09:18.000 I don't know if I've ever seen a guy. Only 0:09:18.160 --> 0:09:21.520 Kyrie can match his touch around the basket. No, big, 0:09:21.559 --> 0:09:24.000 I've never seen a big have that kind of touch 0:09:24.160 --> 0:09:25.959 with either hand around the basket. 0:09:27.160 --> 0:09:31.040 Zach Randolf like like Zach was all my head, Zach. 0:09:31.400 --> 0:09:35.079 I don't think Zacho was shot anything with but it was. 0:09:35.480 --> 0:09:40.520 You know guys like that, you remember, uh was it sweetening? Right? 0:09:40.679 --> 0:09:42.440 Had had a nice touch. 0:09:42.600 --> 0:09:45.600 You know, Guys that are not very athletic in their yes, 0:09:46.120 --> 0:09:49.920 they usually have a great feel around that basket. And 0:09:50.360 --> 0:09:52.439 that's why you have to keep him away from it 0:09:52.600 --> 0:09:55.360 with lean. Let let him try to alter and throw 0:09:55.440 --> 0:09:59.160 shots up. And he shoots the ball with such I 0:09:59.160 --> 0:10:02.360 mean blocking that shot. I mean he's shooting from way 0:10:02.400 --> 0:10:05.120 up here like lave bird. But he's seven foot tall 0:10:05.800 --> 0:10:11.160 and you'd rather have that, right, I really lay, except 0:10:11.160 --> 0:10:13.440 except when he except when he plays against the Lakers, 0:10:13.480 --> 0:10:15.240 because it doesn't matter where he shoots it from. 0:10:15.280 --> 0:10:17.440 It's going in clock widing down. 0:10:17.600 --> 0:10:20.640 It does not matter one foot, wrong foot, two feet, 0:10:20.960 --> 0:10:21.680 it doesn't matter. 0:10:21.760 --> 0:10:25.800 Gill, You're right, You're right, You're right about that. But 0:10:25.920 --> 0:10:28.960 I did I think. I think tonight he sold it 0:10:29.040 --> 0:10:29.960 up the MVP. 0:10:30.160 --> 0:10:30.400 Gill. 0:10:30.920 --> 0:10:35.240 His last seven games is forty one eleven and seven 0:10:35.280 --> 0:10:38.720 three steals sixteen of twenty twenty eight, thirteen seven three 0:10:38.760 --> 0:10:43.600 steals thirteen twenty nineteen, fourteen, eleven assists, three steals six 0:10:43.640 --> 0:10:47.719 of thirteen, thirty six, seventeen, ten assists fourteen to twenty four, 0:10:48.080 --> 0:10:51.360 forty two sixteen, six assists, two blocks, eighteen to thirty two, 0:10:51.600 --> 0:10:55.640 twenty six, eighteen, sixteen assists eleven of eighteen thirty two, 0:10:55.800 --> 0:10:59.640 ten five eleven of twenty four. It's over Gil, No, No, 0:10:59.679 --> 0:11:04.800 it's when Embeid went down. It was over right, it 0:11:04.840 --> 0:11:07.960 was it was, it was over It's. 0:11:07.720 --> 0:11:09.440 Just one of those things where. 0:11:11.080 --> 0:11:13.199 If this was last year or the year before, we 0:11:13.240 --> 0:11:16.840 wouldn't even be questioning who the nd it is, right, 0:11:17.080 --> 0:11:20.640 But the fact that he's probably gotten one or two 0:11:20.720 --> 0:11:24.679 that wasn't actually his. So now you want to try 0:11:24.720 --> 0:11:27.840 to figure out how not to them. Yeah, right, and 0:11:28.320 --> 0:11:32.040 at this point the milk is spilt. You can't do 0:11:32.160 --> 0:11:36.040 nothing about it. You can't rob them today, right, you 0:11:36.080 --> 0:11:39.480 can't today. You can't penalize him for what you did 0:11:40.000 --> 0:11:42.160 two years agoing three, you can't do it. 0:11:42.440 --> 0:11:43.960 This is he earned this one. 0:11:44.880 --> 0:11:46.560 You know what it is, Gil if the old sam 0:11:46.600 --> 0:11:48.640 my grandma said, boy, you can't pun in somebody for 0:11:48.720 --> 0:11:53.360 the seins of their father because they get because because 0:11:53.440 --> 0:11:56.560 somebody made a mistake or you robbed somebody else. You 0:11:56.600 --> 0:11:59.000 can't make it right now. You can't make it right now. 0:11:59.720 --> 0:12:02.199 I mean, look, and I understand, man, but like some 0:12:02.240 --> 0:12:05.880 of the greats, ain't with that. Ain't got nothing to 0:12:05.920 --> 0:12:07.920 do with me. Some of You're right, some of the 0:12:07.920 --> 0:12:09.600 grades didn't win three and four years. 0:12:10.679 --> 0:12:15.120 But where we are now and what and what he's doing. 0:12:16.280 --> 0:12:18.679 I don't And I'm not so sure it's going to 0:12:18.720 --> 0:12:21.120 be closed. I really don't. I don't really think it's 0:12:21.160 --> 0:12:23.839 going to be closed. I know Luca, Luca has been 0:12:23.880 --> 0:12:28.360 on an equally impressive tear. But I think that what's 0:12:28.440 --> 0:12:29.280 helping Yoke. 0:12:29.559 --> 0:12:33.040 Is that when Murray went down, and Murray had rested 0:12:33.040 --> 0:12:36.800 that knee, and he's doing this and because remember he 0:12:36.840 --> 0:12:38.199 did a lot of this and what was that that 0:12:38.320 --> 0:12:41.320 year that Murray was out, Remember and he put up 0:12:41.360 --> 0:12:42.880 these number It's like, oh, he got to give it 0:12:42.920 --> 0:12:43.440 to him. 0:12:43.679 --> 0:12:45.960 Yeah, so what else? What I'm saying. 0:12:47.440 --> 0:12:50.439 His team was ten, they had the ten the best record, right, 0:12:50.480 --> 0:12:54.080 So he nailed the Denver up to the ten best record, right, 0:12:54.280 --> 0:12:57.880 that's holding that holding him up, right, But they found 0:12:57.880 --> 0:13:01.520 a way to give it to him. 0:13:01.760 --> 0:13:05.160 Is he going to be the worst player on that list? Yeah? 0:13:05.400 --> 0:13:08.240 But someone has to be it, right, Someone has to 0:13:08.280 --> 0:13:09.559 be the worst on that list. 0:13:09.840 --> 0:13:11.319 Oh you think he's the worst MVP. 0:13:13.320 --> 0:13:14.800 I mean, I don't know if there's such a thing, 0:13:14.840 --> 0:13:18.800 but three and four years. 0:13:18.679 --> 0:13:20.800 I want to I want to be the poorest billionaire. 0:13:23.480 --> 0:13:26.000 Someone has to be ten. I'd rather be on that 0:13:26.120 --> 0:13:30.080 list than not on it, exactly. I'd rather be on 0:13:30.080 --> 0:13:32.680 the list. Hey, hey, hey, someone needs to be ten. 0:13:33.160 --> 0:13:37.440 I'll take it right now. You were talking about Defensive 0:13:37.440 --> 0:13:41.400 Player of the Year. This is rookie's winby season. He 0:13:41.559 --> 0:13:45.319 has eight games with at least seven blocks in seventy 0:13:45.360 --> 0:13:49.240 career games. Rudy Gobert has seven games with at least 0:13:49.240 --> 0:13:55.160 seven blocks in seven hundred and fifty four games, he's 0:13:55.960 --> 0:13:58.720 a better defender, and people like, what, oh, but he's 0:13:58.760 --> 0:14:01.440 seven to four. Y'all may seem like Rudy go best 0:14:01.480 --> 0:14:06.800 six two? What damn he said he wined Rudy seven two. Yes, 0:14:09.440 --> 0:14:10.720 defending is defending. 0:14:10.760 --> 0:14:11.400 I don't care. 0:14:12.800 --> 0:14:15.680 If you nine feet and then then somebody can't score. 0:14:16.160 --> 0:14:20.480 That is called defending. Now, I want to put it 0:14:20.520 --> 0:14:26.680 out there today. When he wins this award as. 0:14:26.480 --> 0:14:28.280 A as A as A as. 0:14:28.160 --> 0:14:36.280 A, do not get rids fatigue and voters fatigue and voting. Yeah, 0:14:36.320 --> 0:14:38.680 they might be winning to the row. He might be 0:14:38.720 --> 0:14:40.680 Wayne Gretsky in this defensive war. 0:14:41.000 --> 0:14:44.680 He should I like it like baseball, like the Golden 0:14:44.920 --> 0:14:48.080 the golod Gloves. I mean, you know, Griffy, Griffy had 0:14:48.160 --> 0:14:50.840 like a streaker, like what ten Barns won, Like, hey, 0:14:51.280 --> 0:14:53.600 bron if you're the best as something key eight man. 0:14:53.920 --> 0:14:55.440 You know, he don't want enough for him. He don't 0:14:55.440 --> 0:14:57.080 want five in the row, six in a row. So 0:14:58.000 --> 0:14:59.920 if he's the best, day, give it to him. 0:15:00.680 --> 0:15:03.480 NBA and the NBA we have a problem with that. 0:15:03.480 --> 0:15:07.000 That's our one problem that we have that we they 0:15:07.080 --> 0:15:08.720 get tired of voting for. 0:15:08.640 --> 0:15:12.600 The same person and you can't. You can't. You gotta 0:15:12.640 --> 0:15:13.040 stop it. 0:15:13.080 --> 0:15:15.480 At some point you got to give the people who 0:15:15.560 --> 0:15:20.920 deserve it their awards. And you can see that Winby 0:15:20.920 --> 0:15:22.600 could hold this thing down for a while. 0:15:23.000 --> 0:15:24.360 Oh yeah, for sure and that. 0:15:24.680 --> 0:15:26.800 But and then people were like, well, man, man, look 0:15:26.840 --> 0:15:28.440 I taught Winby is Wimby Sam four. 0:15:28.480 --> 0:15:30.440 I say, man, y'all talk about it. Y'all talk about 0:15:30.480 --> 0:15:34.880 Rudy Gobert like he muggsy bowls. He's Sam too, Sam 0:15:34.920 --> 0:15:37.440 two and a half something. So it's not I mean 0:15:37.440 --> 0:15:38.680 we're splitting hairs here. 0:15:38.960 --> 0:15:39.440 I mean there. 0:15:39.600 --> 0:15:42.920 I mean Draymond what Draymond sixty six, sixty seven, He's 0:15:42.960 --> 0:15:43.920 defensive player over the year. 0:15:44.040 --> 0:15:47.080 Jordan was six six. Albert Robertson was six four. 0:15:47.880 --> 0:15:49.800 One of the few men in the NBA history ever 0:15:49.840 --> 0:15:52.960 have a quadruple double did it with steals. 0:15:53.240 --> 0:15:55.560 I mean, for the most part, big man are usually 0:15:55.640 --> 0:15:58.000 the ones that win it. You know, you have Shaquille O'Neil. 0:15:58.760 --> 0:16:00.240 I don't even know if he wants no, shack ain't 0:16:00.240 --> 0:16:04.400 never won, never won one. But you got uh, David Robinson, 0:16:04.720 --> 0:16:05.880 a team, Elijah Wan. 0:16:06.440 --> 0:16:08.800 These are big guys. I mean they're just getting bigger now. 0:16:10.880 --> 0:16:13.360 I say, maybe artist Gilmore won it way back when. 0:16:13.960 --> 0:16:17.440 But uh yeah, I think. 0:16:17.320 --> 0:16:18.000 Now gil with. 0:16:20.000 --> 0:16:23.760 But the guards because remember GP won Jordan one, Alvin 0:16:23.840 --> 0:16:26.400 Robertson won Robin was was six eighty. 0:16:26.400 --> 0:16:27.240 He won it twice. 0:16:28.080 --> 0:16:31.720 Uh yeah, but that probably you're probably right because of 0:16:31.760 --> 0:16:32.880 shot blocking. 0:16:33.080 --> 0:16:37.640 Yep, shot blocking, blocking, rebounding, like and now guys. 0:16:37.360 --> 0:16:39.560 And now guys are getting really good with their hands. 0:16:39.760 --> 0:16:42.760 Now they're kind of deflections as as a as a 0:16:42.800 --> 0:16:45.640 defensive stat and guys were like, well hold on, damn, 0:16:45.880 --> 0:16:48.960 y'all just adding stuff, tried to find way to create categories. 0:16:50.720 --> 0:16:54.360 It's like a it's like a it's like a defensive back. Well, 0:16:54.400 --> 0:16:57.600 he had seven deflections. What that means he didn't catch 0:16:57.640 --> 0:16:58.000 the ball? 0:16:58.360 --> 0:16:58.880 You know what I'm saying. 0:16:58.880 --> 0:17:01.120 I thought they checked you with the catchall, not deflect 0:17:01.160 --> 0:17:04.720 the ball. So he deflected why he steal it? So 0:17:05.359 --> 0:17:07.760 I get it. But I think this was This was 0:17:07.760 --> 0:17:10.440 a great game last night. It was close between the 0:17:10.520 --> 0:17:13.119 Nuggets and the Timberwolves. But late with probably like the 0:17:13.200 --> 0:17:16.480 last five minutes, the Nugget Nuggets blew the game wide 0:17:16.560 --> 0:17:20.399 open and they coached it from there. But Jokich had 0:17:20.400 --> 0:17:24.160 an unbelievable night forty one, forty one eleven, seven sists, 0:17:24.200 --> 0:17:27.200 three steals on sixteen of twenty Mayfield goals. 0:17:27.200 --> 0:17:30.080 So the Nuggets moved to first. 0:17:29.680 --> 0:17:32.560 In the West and needs to win the last two 0:17:33.040 --> 0:17:35.399 or one of their last two and have OKC in 0:17:35.440 --> 0:17:38.159 Minnesota League. Lose one of those and they would be 0:17:38.200 --> 0:17:40.200 the number one seed in the Western Conference. 0:17:40.520 --> 0:17:42.760 Got the Maverick go ahead. I kind of. 0:17:42.680 --> 0:17:46.199 Got to since those last five minutes, I kind of 0:17:46.240 --> 0:17:52.200 got this. Since the last five minutes they didn't want 0:17:52.200 --> 0:17:55.800 to win that game. Who didn't Minnesota? 0:17:56.440 --> 0:17:56.800 Why not? 0:17:58.920 --> 0:18:03.439 Just something about everybody's shooting for Pelicans right now? I 0:18:03.480 --> 0:18:06.240 think everybody want to play the Pelicans first round. I 0:18:06.280 --> 0:18:11.360 think every like that third that third seed looks amazing 0:18:11.480 --> 0:18:15.840 right now, that second seed and that first seed. You're 0:18:15.840 --> 0:18:20.160 gonna either play Clippers, Dallas, Lakers, or Sons. 0:18:22.600 --> 0:18:29.800 I'm sorry that third seed them right, yeah, give me them? Yeah. 0:18:29.800 --> 0:18:32.120 I think the thing is, uh, well, I know who 0:18:32.160 --> 0:18:32.840 did want to win? 0:18:33.880 --> 0:18:36.280 A different want to win because Yoga say give me 0:18:36.280 --> 0:18:38.640 the down because he had like four straight possessions where 0:18:38.680 --> 0:18:41.040 he went right into Rudy Gober's chips. 0:18:41.320 --> 0:18:43.200 He say, give me, give me the ball. I want 0:18:43.200 --> 0:18:43.480 to win. 0:18:43.680 --> 0:18:46.080 They don't want to win. Okay, Well, I'm a hip y'all, 0:18:46.080 --> 0:18:48.840 and I want to win. I'm better take this game over. 0:18:49.200 --> 0:18:53.840 And you know who like man handle An He's god 0:18:53.920 --> 0:19:01.399 damn way. The man clinch a top six seed in 0:19:01.440 --> 0:19:03.320 the West with a win over the Heat and the 0:19:03.359 --> 0:19:06.320 Clippers on the MAVs are officially facing off in round one. 0:19:06.800 --> 0:19:09.800 It seems like the Clippers can't get away from Luca. 0:19:09.800 --> 0:19:11.600 They can't get away from Luca, then about the hour 0:19:11.720 --> 0:19:14.160 they try. New teams have been horder than the Mavericks 0:19:14.160 --> 0:19:16.200 going into the playoff. The Map just won their fifth 0:19:16.200 --> 0:19:18.960 straight game and have won sixteen of the last eight. 0:19:19.000 --> 0:19:22.080 Team with Luca averaging almost to triple double this season 0:19:22.119 --> 0:19:25.760 thirty four points, nine point eight assists, nine point two rebounds. 0:19:25.960 --> 0:19:29.480 Kyrie Irvin twenty five point six, five point two five 0:19:29.520 --> 0:19:32.919 rebounds per game, shooting forty nine and a half. Come on, kay, 0:19:33.840 --> 0:19:36.280 get that point because he'll be the second guy since 0:19:36.359 --> 0:19:40.800 Kevin Durant to do it twice fifty forty ninety percent 0:19:40.840 --> 0:19:43.560 from the floor, forty percent from the three, ninety percent 0:19:43.560 --> 0:19:44.480 from the free throw line. 0:19:44.480 --> 0:19:46.840 So he's point five behind that right now. 0:19:47.440 --> 0:19:52.080 I ain't taking no more threes, hey, I'll bet sure. 0:19:52.280 --> 0:19:54.320 I'll bet sure. I'll stay that year. And right now 0:19:54.359 --> 0:19:55.439 I shoot number layup. 0:19:56.280 --> 0:20:00.560 I get I would go about five, go five for seven. 0:20:00.160 --> 0:20:01.640 Luca, go ahead and take this thing over. They can't 0:20:01.640 --> 0:20:05.080 catch you for the scored league. Uh but BD, you're right. 0:20:05.160 --> 0:20:09.920 I watched the Mavericks tonight and they'll do it. Did 0:20:09.920 --> 0:20:12.120 a job on the heat. 0:20:12.880 --> 0:20:15.320 Luca and Kyrie took the game over, had a big lead, 0:20:16.000 --> 0:20:17.280 they whittle it down. 0:20:17.400 --> 0:20:18.760 And then those guys. 0:20:19.320 --> 0:20:23.920 Gafford has been a godsend because he's active and so 0:20:24.240 --> 0:20:26.680 now Luca can do what he does. And you got 0:20:26.680 --> 0:20:28.840 so focused on Luca. Next thing you know, Luca's doing 0:20:28.880 --> 0:20:32.919 this and the man's dunking the backwards Lively Lively. I 0:20:32.920 --> 0:20:34.560 think Lively might be injured right now. 0:20:34.600 --> 0:20:34.879 PJ. 0:20:35.160 --> 0:20:40.880 Washington has been been a great, great knockdown shots, decent defender. 0:20:41.240 --> 0:20:45.400 Get on the boards, because look, their problem is never 0:20:45.440 --> 0:20:49.200 gonna be offense. Their problem is gonna be They're probably 0:20:49.240 --> 0:20:52.280 is gonna be stopping people. They're gonna look, Luke, look, 0:20:52.440 --> 0:20:55.960
