Let's get right 0:03:34.880 --> 0:03:38.360 into it, guys. The Mavericks go on the road and 0:03:38.400 --> 0:03:41.680 beat the Thunder one O four to ninety two. They 0:03:41.680 --> 0:03:46.160 got thirty point triple double from Luka Dantic PJ. Washington 0:03:46.200 --> 0:03:53.040 had ten points, ten rebounds. Jones had nineteen points, Daniel 0:03:53.040 --> 0:03:54.920 Gafford had nine points, seven rebounds. 0:03:55.000 --> 0:03:56.400 Kyrie had twelve points. 0:03:56.520 --> 0:03:59.600 They got eleven points and ten rebounds from Derek Lively, 0:03:59.640 --> 0:04:04.559 the second off the bench, as they outrebound the OKCE 0:04:04.560 --> 0:04:07.200 Thunder by thirteen and they win the game on the road. 0:04:07.480 --> 0:04:09.000 Gil, Let's start with you first. 0:04:09.680 --> 0:04:12.600 What did you like what impressed you the most about 0:04:12.600 --> 0:04:14.240 what you saw with the Mavericks going on the road 0:04:14.240 --> 0:04:16.560 and getting this win. I mean it was a big 0:04:16.600 --> 0:04:21.679 win for them. It showed, you know, it showed professionalism. 0:04:21.960 --> 0:04:26.200 It shows why Luca and Kyrie are stars in this league, right. 0:04:26.240 --> 0:04:28.680 You know a lot of superstars or. 0:04:30.360 --> 0:04:33.560 Star players, franchise guys, they would have folded, you know, 0:04:33.640 --> 0:04:35.120 to how they lost last game. 0:04:35.160 --> 0:04:38.680 But you know the bounce back. Luca was excellent today, 0:04:38.760 --> 0:04:40.120 Kyrie was solid. 0:04:40.120 --> 0:04:42.799 And you know they came out and Will Will willed 0:04:42.800 --> 0:04:46.040 their team to this wind tonight. Yeah, I agree with 0:04:46.080 --> 0:04:48.480 everything you said, considering how they lost that ball game, 0:04:48.560 --> 0:04:51.240 had an eight point lead with probably like three minutes. 0:04:51.000 --> 0:04:52.400 To go, and they gave that game up. 0:04:52.720 --> 0:04:55.000 They really should be getting ready to celebrate going to 0:04:55.040 --> 0:04:57.560 the Western Conference Finals, but they have to go home 0:04:57.600 --> 0:04:59.920 and try to close it out game six. And if 0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:02.240 I'm Jason Kidd, I'm not saying, Look at guys, I'm 0:05:02.240 --> 0:05:04.680 not coming back to OKC until next time. So get 0:05:04.680 --> 0:05:06.719 your mind ready to play. Oho, you know what I'm saying, 0:05:06.720 --> 0:05:09.040 Get your mind ready to play. Let's close this issh 0:05:09.040 --> 0:05:13.120 out Saturday night and get ready for the Western Conference Finals. Ojo, 0:05:13.200 --> 0:05:14.680 what did you like about what you saw? What did 0:05:14.680 --> 0:05:16.279 you like what you saw from the Mavericks tonight? 0:05:16.520 --> 0:05:18.640 I mean, listen, each night, each game is so it's 0:05:18.680 --> 0:05:20.919 somebody different. Obviously, Luken's going to do what he does. 0:05:21.240 --> 0:05:24.719 Kyrie contributed a little bit past two games, maybe the 0:05:24.720 --> 0:05:27.880 past three games. PJ Washington played extremely well. But instead 0:05:27.920 --> 0:05:31.440 of PJ watching the night, hell, goddamned Derek Jones Junior. 0:05:31.600 --> 0:05:33.840 He had nineteen points. And Luca did what he did. 0:05:34.240 --> 0:05:38.120 And Shae, I don't want to say his name wrong, 0:05:38.240 --> 0:05:43.000 Shade sail shake gil Ga all right, Atga, he need 0:05:43.040 --> 0:05:44.840 a little bit help, He need a little bit more help. 0:05:44.880 --> 0:05:47.520 Shat did what he could, but the supporting cast that 0:05:47.600 --> 0:05:50.920 Shay has isn't enough to offset the contribution. 0:05:51.120 --> 0:05:53.440 And with the MAVs give each game each night. 0:05:54.320 --> 0:05:56.160 You know what, Gil when you watch, you look at 0:05:56.160 --> 0:05:59.120 this game. Had had the Mavericks not been careless with 0:05:59.120 --> 0:06:01.839 the basketball, had all those turnovers, this game wasn't supposed 0:06:01.880 --> 0:06:04.480 to be closing. They shot fifty almost fifty three percent 0:06:04.520 --> 0:06:06.880 from the floor, They shot forty percent from the three 0:06:06.880 --> 0:06:10.920 point line, They out rebounded them by thirty by thirteen rebounds. 0:06:11.080 --> 0:06:12.960 But it was the turnovers they got them in trouble. 0:06:13.320 --> 0:06:17.080 If they don't turn the ball over like they did, 0:06:17.400 --> 0:06:20.480 this ball game probably over what about six minutes to 0:06:20.520 --> 0:06:22.440 go in the ball game, because when Luca hit that 0:06:22.480 --> 0:06:25.279 three put them up eighteen, I thought, for all intents 0:06:25.320 --> 0:06:27.520 and purposes, it was over after that. 0:06:27.839 --> 0:06:30.240 And then the next thing, you know, the thunder go on. 0:06:30.320 --> 0:06:32.400 What a ten to oh run an eleven ozer run 0:06:32.680 --> 0:06:34.240 and all of a sudden they make it a ball 0:06:34.279 --> 0:06:37.880 game because the Nuggets, you know, excuse me, the nugget Nuggets. 0:06:37.960 --> 0:06:41.400 The Mavericks got balled down. Lucas started holding the ball, 0:06:41.600 --> 0:06:43.719 shooting the ball with one second run your offense. 0:06:43.760 --> 0:06:45.320 I understand you want to run time off. 0:06:45.520 --> 0:06:47.359 You don't want to take a quick shot, but I 0:06:47.360 --> 0:06:49.200 don't think you know, you just holding the ball, patting 0:06:49.200 --> 0:06:51.160 the ball, and then all of a sudden you hot potato. 0:06:51.160 --> 0:06:53.960 It's a good thing. But give them credit. 0:06:54.160 --> 0:06:57.159 Give the Mavericks credit for going on the road winning 0:06:57.240 --> 0:06:59.600 this ball game, especially how they lost that ball game. 0:07:00.120 --> 0:07:02.159 What didn't you like about what you saw from the 0:07:02.160 --> 0:07:06.919 thunder gill? What I didn't like is they settle and 0:07:07.400 --> 0:07:09.159 you know, I don't know if it's like this. In 0:07:09.160 --> 0:07:13.200 football and basketball, you have two styles of play, right, 0:07:13.240 --> 0:07:16.800 you have your home play and your road play right, right, 0:07:16.920 --> 0:07:22.120 Usually your road game is a little more relaxed, patient, right, 0:07:22.240 --> 0:07:25.200 you pick your spots and then at home you're more free. Well, 0:07:25.280 --> 0:07:28.320 that cost them that tonight shooting forty three. This is 0:07:28.360 --> 0:07:32.440 not a team that usually chucks threes when they're off right. 0:07:32.600 --> 0:07:35.160 The fact that they took forty threes as ten for forty. 0:07:35.400 --> 0:07:37.600 That's the game right there, right, you didn't get to 0:07:37.640 --> 0:07:39.440 the free throw line. You usually you guys are getting 0:07:39.440 --> 0:07:41.600 to the free throw line, you know, putting the team, 0:07:41.720 --> 0:07:44.080 you know, because they have a small team, right, they're 0:07:44.080 --> 0:07:47.520 not they're not very tall, you know, especially when they 0:07:47.600 --> 0:07:50.520 take Shet out right, so you usually are used to 0:07:50.560 --> 0:07:53.120 your athleticism to get down lott, get a little you know, 0:07:53.160 --> 0:07:55.440 easy lay up some free throws. So the fact that 0:07:55.520 --> 0:07:57.400 you didn't get to the free throw line let you 0:07:57.400 --> 0:08:01.120 know that you was too confident and too lacks of 0:08:01.200 --> 0:08:05.680 days ago at the home where you should have been 0:08:05.800 --> 0:08:08.640 really like, we're not gonna shoot threes early. We're really 0:08:08.640 --> 0:08:10.680 gonna beat him download, like like you know, kind of 0:08:10.680 --> 0:08:12.800 like when the Lakers and the Lakers are playing small teams, 0:08:12.960 --> 0:08:17.360 they usually just try to you know him download and 0:08:17.400 --> 0:08:20.120 that's what they usually do on the road. So it's like, ah, 0:08:20.200 --> 0:08:22.040 this is one of those games where you just can't 0:08:22.120 --> 0:08:25.720 just took a whole bunch of threes up. Yeah, forty threes. 0:08:25.760 --> 0:08:28.200 That's not the Thunders game. Ten of forty twenty five 0:08:28.240 --> 0:08:30.800 percent from the floor. They only shot ten free throws. 0:08:31.200 --> 0:08:33.760 A team that normally tacks the basket you got Shae 0:08:33.760 --> 0:08:38.040 gill just he's constantly putting pressures pressure on you. Jalen 0:08:38.080 --> 0:08:40.679 Williams did not have this finals out. He needed to 0:08:40.679 --> 0:08:43.440 play better. They can't win with him having twelve points. 0:08:43.679 --> 0:08:46.959 Chick Hogan had thirteen, you get Lou Dort had twelve, 0:08:47.240 --> 0:08:49.040 and you get Josh Getty who came up the bench 0:08:49.080 --> 0:08:52.079 for the first time. He had eleven points. You need 0:08:52.160 --> 0:08:56.000 Jalen Williams. If Shae Shane's given you thirty points, damn 0:08:56.040 --> 0:08:57.920 near every game Gil, I think, with the exception of 0:08:57.920 --> 0:08:59.960 one game he had twenty nine, but he's given you 0:09:00.640 --> 0:09:03.960 He's doing all he can. Jayleen Williams, you're the second 0:09:03.960 --> 0:09:06.760 best player. You need to give them around twenty points. 0:09:06.920 --> 0:09:09.240 You've got to give them twenty and then if Check 0:09:09.320 --> 0:09:11.840 give you anywhere between thirteen and eighteen, you live with that. 0:09:12.160 --> 0:09:13.960 You take whatever you can get from Lou Dort. 0:09:14.120 --> 0:09:16.600 But you know you're asking a lot from Lou because 0:09:16.640 --> 0:09:19.360 he's exerting a lot of energy trying to keep Luca 0:09:19.480 --> 0:09:22.320 in check. That's asking an awful lot because Luca, with 0:09:22.400 --> 0:09:24.920 all that hurkey jerky movement, you know he gonna post 0:09:24.920 --> 0:09:26.600 you up, He's gonna put his should into your chest. 0:09:26.880 --> 0:09:29.719 He's gonna cause you a lot of problems. So if 0:09:29.760 --> 0:09:32.680 lou Dort, can you give me ten twelve points considering 0:09:32.760 --> 0:09:35.560 the amount of energy that I'm asking him to exert 0:09:35.800 --> 0:09:38.520 to try to keep Luca under control, I can live 0:09:38.600 --> 0:09:42.200 with that. But you knew Luca, We all knew Gil. 0:09:42.240 --> 0:09:44.080 In order for the Mavericks to win, Lucas Gota had 0:09:44.080 --> 0:09:47.040 to be more efficient. He can't shoot. He can't shoot 0:09:47.280 --> 0:09:50.360 ten for twenty seven. He can't shoot nine of twenty two. 0:09:50.800 --> 0:09:53.280 He can't be like that. He's too good. And I 0:09:53.320 --> 0:09:56.000 thought tonight, I thought he did a great job of attacking. 0:09:56.320 --> 0:09:58.800 He kept pressure on him. Twelve or twenty two from 0:09:58.840 --> 0:10:02.000 the floor plus fifty percent, another thirty toe triple double 0:10:02.040 --> 0:10:05.880 five O eleven from three. That's the kind of effort 0:10:06.120 --> 0:10:08.640 that you need from him. And then you got twelve 0:10:08.679 --> 0:10:11.640 points from Kyrie, you got nineteam from Dereck Jones Junior, 0:10:11.720 --> 0:10:14.640 you got Tampa PJ. Washington Lively comes off the bench 0:10:14.679 --> 0:10:17.160 and gives you eleven off so and double digit rebounds. 0:10:17.480 --> 0:10:19.040 When you go on the road, you. 0:10:19.040 --> 0:10:21.120 Need to have five or six guys in double figure 0:10:21.240 --> 0:10:23.440 if you want to win the ball game. Yeah, I 0:10:23.480 --> 0:10:28.080 think also Jason Kidd, you can't well, I'm not just kidding. 0:10:28.080 --> 0:10:31.360 I'm sorry. Okay, you can't bring that now. 0:10:32.080 --> 0:10:36.040 You can't change your lineup in the middle of the playoffs. Yeah, right, 0:10:36.120 --> 0:10:39.360 people are not mentally prepared for that. 0:10:39.800 --> 0:10:43.160 Right. There's no way Gideon was prepared to come off 0:10:43.160 --> 0:10:43.880 the bench tonight. 0:10:45.080 --> 0:10:47.480 Right, that's one of those we're in the middle of 0:10:47.520 --> 0:10:50.680 the playoffs. We got here this way. You just can't 0:10:50.720 --> 0:10:52.480 spring it on me mentally. 0:10:52.559 --> 0:10:55.439 That does something to a player, Right, you're playing but 0:10:55.559 --> 0:11:01.880 twelve minutes tonight, But how you played him twelve twelve minutes, 0:11:02.000 --> 0:11:04.440 twelve minutes and he where he went five of eight 0:11:04.840 --> 0:11:07.760 and he's he played better than the start of you 0:11:07.840 --> 0:11:10.240 put in from him, like so well, things like that. 0:11:10.360 --> 0:11:14.040 It's you can't do it, Gil. When you say you 0:11:14.080 --> 0:11:16.520 can't do that because the guy is not prepared mentally, 0:11:17.120 --> 0:11:19.720 that strikes me as a panic move because you're tied 0:11:19.760 --> 0:11:21.080 two too. Now, if you're. 0:11:20.960 --> 0:11:23.520 Down, Gil, if you're down two to one, you're down 0:11:23.720 --> 0:11:24.480 three to two. 0:11:24.640 --> 0:11:28.320 Okay, all hands on deck, but you tied it's even 0:11:28.400 --> 0:11:31.400 serious and you're at home. That's that strikes me as 0:11:31.440 --> 0:11:34.719 a panic move. Anytime you do anything, especially in this 0:11:34.920 --> 0:11:37.360 late in the playoffs. It's gonna it's gonna send. It's 0:11:37.360 --> 0:11:39.440 gonna put my alarm bells up. And I think Jason 0:11:39.480 --> 0:11:42.520 kids said, hold on man, y'all panic. Y'all hadn't done 0:11:42.559 --> 0:11:45.040 a move like this all year, y'all the number one seed, 0:11:45.520 --> 0:11:48.160 because you've been steady, and all of a sudden you 0:11:48.280 --> 0:11:50.960 tied to two coming back home and you do this 0:11:51.520 --> 0:11:53.320 now if you're down three two and you coming home, 0:11:53.440 --> 0:11:54.720 I get it. Go ahead, o Yoe. 0:11:54.800 --> 0:11:56.720 I mean, isn't there a reason that they had Isaiah 0:11:56.800 --> 0:12:00.360 Joe start over Josh Giddy? Is that something schematically or 0:12:00.400 --> 0:12:02.480 something some type of tactic that they thought would help 0:12:02.559 --> 0:12:05.199 what better defensively or offensively? But it just didn't pan 0:12:05.200 --> 0:12:08.000 out the way it should because from an offensive standpoint, shit, 0:12:08.240 --> 0:12:11.040 Isaiah Joe only had six goddamn points. So what was 0:12:11.080 --> 0:12:12.600 the reason for starting him in the first place. 0:12:13.120 --> 0:12:16.560 Well, I think because Jeddy was getting off the slow starts. 0:12:16.600 --> 0:12:18.240 He wasn't giving you the kind of production that he 0:12:18.280 --> 0:12:20.880 gave you in the regular season. I don't have this 0:12:21.080 --> 0:12:23.720 regular season numbers in front of me, but I just 0:12:23.880 --> 0:12:27.600 know his postseason numbers haven't been up to snuff, and 0:12:27.679 --> 0:12:30.520 so they're saying like we need better production. But that's 0:12:30.520 --> 0:12:33.440 not I mean you're counting on Isaiah Joe to give 0:12:33.480 --> 0:12:35.400 you better production. I mean he's a guy that comes 0:12:35.400 --> 0:12:37.440 off the bench. Because now you got to understand Gil 0:12:37.720 --> 0:12:39.640 and I think we know o Jo, we can talk 0:12:39.679 --> 0:12:42.040 speak to this. In football, it's one thing to be 0:12:42.080 --> 0:12:44.480 the third receiver and then you come in and you're 0:12:44.480 --> 0:12:47.079 going against the third or fourth corner. It's another thing 0:12:47.160 --> 0:12:49.240 to be the number one or number two receiver and 0:12:49.280 --> 0:12:51.440 you're going against the number one and the number two corner. 0:12:51.760 --> 0:12:54.760 So now Isaiah Joe is going to get starters and 0:12:54.840 --> 0:12:58.680 not the backups. So he's going to get starters and 0:12:58.760 --> 0:13:02.360 not other role players. So you're asking him to be 0:13:02.520 --> 0:13:05.640 what he hasn't been this season. Now, who knows down 0:13:05.640 --> 0:13:07.679 the road, he might be a guy. But I agree 0:13:07.679 --> 0:13:10.000 with Gil. That struck me as a panic move for 0:13:10.080 --> 0:13:12.360 the simple fact, and I'm like, I'm looking at him, like, bro. 0:13:12.800 --> 0:13:13.480 It's two two. 0:13:14.880 --> 0:13:17.280 This is not a situation where you're okay, I'm down 0:13:17.280 --> 0:13:20.080 three to oh, I'm down three to one. I'm down 0:13:20.120 --> 0:13:24.400 three two. Okay, Hey man, we can't lose another game. Cause, Bro, 0:13:24.559 --> 0:13:26.000 if we lose another game, it's over. 0:13:26.720 --> 0:13:28.600 But this and your home. 0:13:29.679 --> 0:13:33.600 Yeah, like that's I said, it's It's one of those things. Man, 0:13:33.920 --> 0:13:38.720 I've seen it. I've seen it kill players mentally before 0:13:38.760 --> 0:13:41.160 the game where coaches is like, all right, look, we're 0:13:41.160 --> 0:13:43.760 gonna we're gonna bring you off the bench tonight and 0:13:43.960 --> 0:13:44.360 just to. 0:13:44.280 --> 0:13:46.080 See all the hope. 0:13:46.400 --> 0:13:48.640 Move out of his body, like Okay, he's gonna be 0:13:48.720 --> 0:13:54.920 useless now. Now the guy you're bringing in, he doesn't 0:13:54.960 --> 0:13:57.640 lose nothing their game nothing, right, he's gonna give you 0:13:57.679 --> 0:13:58.520 what he's gonna give you. 0:13:58.600 --> 0:14:00.000 What you just lost is your loss. 0:14:00.160 --> 0:14:02.840 Now production from one guy because you took him from 0:14:02.840 --> 0:14:03.679 starting to the bench. 0:14:03.840 --> 0:14:04.600 Well, you know, get he. 0:14:04.679 --> 0:14:08.760 Played well, but he could have did that as a starter. 0:14:09.559 --> 0:14:12.080 He's six eight, six ' nine with his shoes on, 0:14:12.920 --> 0:14:16.040 bigger guy. He's more of your point guard for Shaye 0:14:16.040 --> 0:14:18.480 to be. The two See, they decided they want to 0:14:18.480 --> 0:14:22.000 bring in a shooter. They wanted to bring in a shooter, 0:14:22.080 --> 0:14:25.200 a flat out shooter that can spread. Well, he's your 0:14:25.240 --> 0:14:27.480 point guard for you for Shaye to do what Shade does. 0:14:27.840 --> 0:14:28.040 Right. 0:14:29.240 --> 0:14:31.800 But there's a reason Shade gets to play Shade because 0:14:31.800 --> 0:14:35.920 there's a guy out there that's that's being unselfish for 0:14:36.040 --> 0:14:39.120 everybody to play the way they're playing. So you take 0:14:39.160 --> 0:14:41.680 him out of the starting lineup, you start off slow 0:14:41.840 --> 0:14:45.560 as a team. Forget him right at you know, the 0:14:45.600 --> 0:14:48.080 first couple of games, he's starting off slow, but everybody 0:14:48.120 --> 0:14:53.400 else is playing well. Now the team is starting off slow, right, 0:14:53.760 --> 0:14:56.760 He played well when he came in. Yeah, And that's 0:14:56.800 --> 0:14:58.800 the thing, because when you got Giddy and you got 0:14:58.840 --> 0:15:02.200 somebody else that can initiate the offense instead of Shake Shape, 0:15:02.320 --> 0:15:05.560 Shae gonna beat Shape. But Shadey, you didn't give Shane break. 0:15:05.920 --> 0:15:08.080 I mean you had him play. He played what forty 0:15:08.480 --> 0:15:12.960 forty three minutes tonight, So you needed somebody because really, 0:15:13.160 --> 0:15:16.200 look at Shae. Shae had eight rebounds. The next highest 0:15:16.280 --> 0:15:20.440 was Lou Door. But we've seen Giddy. We know Giddy 0:15:20.840 --> 0:15:24.280 get it. It can get your triple double. So you 0:15:24.360 --> 0:15:26.560 needed somebody to take that load. It just struck me 0:15:26.560 --> 0:15:28.400 as a panic move when I saw the switch in 0:15:28.440 --> 0:15:31.360 the lineup Isaiah Joe. But but I also but if 0:15:31.360 --> 0:15:33.120 I'm not mistaken, I think they did this the other 0:15:33.200 --> 0:15:35.280 day too, Gil. I think this is not the first 0:15:35.520 --> 0:15:37.880 I think, if I'm not mistaken, I think this happened 0:15:37.880 --> 0:15:41.720 and and and and Dallas after they lost game three, 0:15:41.880 --> 0:15:45.200 because remember the mass beat them game two, then won 0:15:45.320 --> 0:15:47.880 game three, and the head coach felt that he needed 0:15:47.920 --> 0:15:51.520 a little bit more production from his starters. So I 0:15:51.640 --> 0:15:55.680 just it's just hard when you when you give you 0:15:55.840 --> 0:15:58.640 wasn't the number one seed. You're the number one seed 0:15:58.680 --> 0:16:01.720 with the starting lineup. Wait, okay, see one game one, 0:16:02.000 --> 0:16:06.120 Dallas one, Game two, Dallas three three. So yes, game 0:16:06.200 --> 0:16:08.920 two that they lost game three when they tried to yes, 0:16:11.480 --> 0:16:16.320 just stop. Wait, you know, sometimes we can't overthink it. 0:16:17.840 --> 0:16:19.720 They got to stick with work. It worked during the 0:16:19.720 --> 0:16:21.400 regular season. It got you to the point is the 0:16:21.440 --> 0:16:25.360 reason where you were, you were number one. Stay with you, 0:16:25.360 --> 0:16:27.400 stay with what you know. But obviously, I guess the 0:16:27.440 --> 0:16:29.720 coach might have been frustrated but not getting enough production 0:16:29.760 --> 0:16:32.200 out of out of gidea. You felt maybe let's make 0:16:32.200 --> 0:16:34.200 a change in the middle of it. If it worked 0:16:34.240 --> 0:16:36.760 and they won tonight, then we'd be praising them. But 0:16:36.800 --> 0:16:41.480 the fact that it didn't work and it is what 0:16:41.560 --> 0:16:44.360 it is now. Now now you gotta do it die. Now, 0:16:44.360 --> 0:16:46.040 you gotta do it die. You either going either if 0:16:46.080 --> 0:16:48.040 you gonna force a game what seven? 0:16:48.160 --> 0:16:48.320 Right? 0:16:48.600 --> 0:16:52.080 You force a game seven? You're going to Cancun one 0:16:52.120 --> 0:16:52.640 of the other. 0:16:52.680 --> 0:16:55.840 Yeah, yeah, yeah, but you look at the kind of 0:16:55.840 --> 0:16:59.440 production that he gave you with those eleven minutes. So 0:17:00.200 --> 0:17:03.040 maybe maybe what if he gives you those in the 0:17:03.080 --> 0:17:06.520 beginning and not when they're down like they were down Gil, 0:17:06.840 --> 0:17:08.239 because you know, you look at it like it had 0:17:08.240 --> 0:17:11.439 eleven points. But what if he gives you those eleven 0:17:11.520 --> 0:17:13.919 points in the first in the first half where it's 0:17:13.960 --> 0:17:17.120 nipped up, and you don't go down nine, you don't 0:17:17.160 --> 0:17:21.520 go down twelve, you don't go down eighteen. Like you said, 0:17:21.560 --> 0:17:23.920 it's easy to say, oh, hoe nine. Hindsight, it's a 0:17:24.040 --> 0:17:28.359 magnificent sight because you know the outcome. Haven't done what 0:17:28.400 --> 0:17:32.280 you've done. But like you said, had it worked out, 0:17:32.320 --> 0:17:34.240 everybody would have called him a genius and say, see, 0:17:34.560 --> 0:17:36.280 now you know why he won Coach of the Year. 0:17:36.440 --> 0:17:41.880 Right in facts well three two series, they can pick 0:17:41.960 --> 0:17:42.560 number one seed. 0:17:51.160 --> 0:17:53.399 For the thirdid secutive year and the sixth time in 0:17:53.440 --> 0:17:55.840 the past eight years, the Celtics have advanced to the 0:17:55.840 --> 0:17:59.040 Eastern Conference Final. Boston plays the winner of the next 0:17:59.080 --> 0:18:02.760 Indy Series. Jason Tatum did a bit of everything. Twenty 0:18:02.800 --> 0:18:07.720 five points, ten rebounds, nine assists, four steals, three Mads threes. 0:18:08.119 --> 0:18:11.800 Al Horford twenty two points, six May threes, fifteen rebounds, 0:18:11.800 --> 0:18:15.960 five assists, three blocks, Derrick White siding eighteen points, four 0:18:16.040 --> 0:18:20.240 May threes, five rebounds, six assis, six assists. Donovan Mitchell, 0:18:20.520 --> 0:18:25.040 Karris LeVert, Jared Allen all miss tonight's elimination game. Give 0:18:25.119 --> 0:18:27.480 those guys credit because they fought to the very end. 0:18:27.920 --> 0:18:30.760 Reports some member of the Cavs were frustrated with Allen 0:18:31.080 --> 0:18:33.320 after he refused an injection to try to numb the 0:18:33.320 --> 0:18:40.560 pain and play through the real of injury. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, 0:18:40.560 --> 0:18:42.440 he's supposed to tell us he's supposed to take that 0:18:42.520 --> 0:18:47.480 quarters on shot. Man, you gotta go ahead and say, 0:18:47.520 --> 0:18:50.840 everybody ain't built the same gial. I mean you, I've 0:18:50.880 --> 0:18:55.040 taken it. I'm damn the playoffs.
