Speaker 2: my ears are not the right size my ear right now.

15
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:05,440

16
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:08,080

00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 1: Weggie number forty one, Sergia Baka sending the bulls packing

38
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 1: with a weggie for their troubles. Here he is in

39
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 1: the corner thirty three seconds to go in the game,

40
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 1: sticks to corner, Wedgie, That one really stuck. Yeah, yeah,

41
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:27,920
Speaker 1: that's a deep, deep wedging. Hey, what's up, Saracus Stark?

42
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 1: So that is leggie number forty one on the season

43
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:36,959
Speaker 1: second of the playoffs And yeah, maybe one of the

44
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,920
Speaker 1: more entertaining things from that game last night. But let's

45
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 1: get into it. Bucks crust the Bowls one sixteen one

46
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 1: hundred in Game five and they will advance to face

47
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 1: the Celtics. We'll get into that series and talk about

48
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,800
Speaker 1: Buck Celtics in the second round. But thoughts on the

49
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 1: game and your Bulls here.

50
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 2: This was a game. Yeah, not a lot to say

51
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 2: about this one. The Bulls took a one point lead

52
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 2: two minutes in. That was the last time they led

53
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:05,080
Speaker 2: down sixteen after the first quarter. The Bucks stretched it

54
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 2: out to twenty nine midway through the first half. Somehow,

55
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 2: this is only a sixteen point victory for the Bucks,

56
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 2: so it looks a little better for the Bulls. But

57
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 2: basically what the series broke breaks down to is Chicago

58
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 2: played really well in Milwaukee. The Bucks lost Game two,

59
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 2: they lost Chris Middleton and said this series is over.

60
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 2: Jannis really put his foot down. I thought in this

61
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:27,640
Speaker 2: one thirty three points, nine rebounds, three assists, and he

62
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 2: only played thirty minutes like he could score any single

63
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 2: time he wanted to. Hot Bobby Portis fourteen and seventeen,

64
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 2: a double double in all three games. Once he moved

65
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 2: into the starting lineup, and then Grayson Allen and Pat

66
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 2: Connaton hit nine threes combined, just to rub it in

67
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 2: the Bulls faces. But the good stuff is that Grayson

68
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 2: Allen did get booed at home. He kind of was

69
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 2: asking for it because he said the Chicago fans weren't

70
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 2: booing loud enough. Probably true since it was a thirty

71
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 2: point game in the second half of both of those

72
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 2: and the Bulls won the fourth quarter. My guy Tony

73
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 2: Bradley got some run. So yeah, I mean, I don't

74
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 2: know this one was over halftime, but I stuck around

75
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 2: to see that. Weggie saw it live. Cool.

76
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 1: Wow, good for you, Yeah, good for you. I will

77
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 1: say I was real my buddy Grish, Oh your buddy Grish,

78
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 1: our buddy Grish. Last night. I said the game was

79
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 1: over on the first basket when Giannis threw down the

80
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 1: put back dunk, and it was like, Yeah, it's gonna

81
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:19,160
Speaker 1: be one of these nights. It's gonna be one of

82
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 1: these gi honesses where he's gonna come out take control

83
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 1: of the game in the first quarter. He at fifteen

84
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 1: and get it set up where he's not gonna have

85
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 1: to play a lot and play maybe thirty minutes and

86
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 1: that's exactly what happened. And then the defense on DeRozan

87
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:32,280
Speaker 1: two is the other storyline from this game, and I

88
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 1: think this series too. Once Lavigne wasn't playing, Once Caruso

89
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,480
Speaker 1: goes down, obviously there's no ball, there's just not a

90
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 1: lot of shooters. And the game plan from the Bucks

91
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:44,839
Speaker 1: was all eyes, all bodies on DeRozan, anybody but him

92
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 1: gonna be beating us after he had that big game

93
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 1: too with the forty one, and in this one, they

94
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:51,480
Speaker 1: just like, yeah, sat on that right hip, forced him

95
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 1: to go left, bring a bunch of help, and he

96
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 1: was making the right play. Like it's like DeRozan is

97
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 1: a playmaker. Just guys were not hitting some of the

98
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,600
Speaker 1: open shots. And you know, they shot fifty two threes.

99
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:03,160
Speaker 1: This was the other thing. The Bulls were like, our

100
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 1: only chance really to win this game is to like

101
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 1: hit twenty five threes in this and somehow make it again.

102
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:09,719
Speaker 2: But I think the most threes the balls have ever

103
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 2: taken an each game ever, And like you're mentioning seven

104
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,359
Speaker 2: assessts for deroz and he could add seventeen ascents. The

105
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 2: Bulls could have possibly shot the ball, but basically Milwaukee

106
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,160
Speaker 2: was one hundred percent fine with anybody, but DeRozan shooting it.

107
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:25,280
Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, it was a this was a blow up.

108
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 2: I mean, this was a yeah.

109
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:31,279
Speaker 3: Look after game two, I was hopefully optimistic that hey,

110
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 3: the Bulls can maybe stretch this out to six. You know,

111
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:35,599
Speaker 3: DeRozan had that game. He was not going to jump

112
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,719
Speaker 3: as over Yannis. But it was fool's gold, you know,

113
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:40,840
Speaker 3: it really was. And the fact that you know they

114
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 3: even one game two was was pretty fortunate in this series.

115
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 3: I can't remember what I predict that, but I think

116
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 3: it was Bucks in no more than five anyway, but then.

117
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,280
Speaker 1: Middleton leaves in that game. Chill, yeah, he lives there

118
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 1: an opening. Yeah, yeah, the Bucks, you know.

119
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:55,480
Speaker 3: It was it was like a bucking Honestly, just were

120
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 3: asleep those first two games, and then Budenholz was like, guys,

121
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:00,719
Speaker 3: let's just let's just end so we get ready for

122
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 3: the Celtics in the second round. And that's really where

123
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 3: they're at right now. I mean, Yannis is that there's

124
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 3: no match up there for him against the Bulls's very

125
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 3: few matchups in the entire league of course for Yannis,

126
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 3: so he just decided to flex his muscles a little

127
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 3: last night, and yeah, the sixteen point quarter lead after

128
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 3: the first quarter, that was like the Bulls would have

129
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 3: to have some miraculous like a Desum Mougal for eight

130
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 3: threes ya Kobe White, someone like something like that was

131
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 3: the only real way they were going to get back

132
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 3: into the game. DeRozan took ten shots last night. I

133
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 3: think you mentioned he was passing, But if DeRozan had

134
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 3: thirty eight shots last night, I don't think anyone would

135
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 3: be complaining either, because they didn't have any other significant offense.

136
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 1: I know.

137
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 3: Vucci finished with a pretty strong game, merely got the

138
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:42,719
Speaker 3: triple double there.

139
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:45,239
Speaker 1: Oh man, did he shang his head off to Florida

140
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 1: when he slept?

141
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:47,159
Speaker 2: Whoa?

142
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 1: I mean that game must have a hard nugget until

143
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 1: they continue to play and why to play? I mean,

144
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 1: kudos to him. I'm like, yeah, I hope they were

145
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,920
Speaker 1: like putting up how many fingers man, because that was huge.

146
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 1: He bounced off the floor there after he slipped. The

147
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 1: only else, oh thing I have in my notes is

148
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 1: we saw the skyhook from Drew Holiday.

149
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 2: Very cool.

150
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 1: The Kareem Abdul Drew Barr left the skyhook. Yeah it works,

151
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 1: and that's really all I have. They were Bulls were

152
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 1: very outclass. In fact, let's just like sort of spin

153
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 1: it into what they do in the off season here,

154
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 1: Trey like weird year, just to recap the Bulls. I

155
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 1: mean they were they were the first. They had no

156
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 1: one seen in the Eastern Conference for a good chunk

157
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 1: of the year.

158
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 2: The Bulls had an awesome three quarters of a season.

159
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 2: You know, through basically sixty games, they were looking like

160
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 2: a competitive team. That's kind of when things fell apart

161
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 2: the last twenty games of the season going into the playoffs.

162
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 2: I think they finished like eight and nineteen something along

163
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 2: those lines. But unfortunately the expectations were raised around the

164
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 2: turn of the year when the Bulls were in first place.

165
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 2: They stuck there for a month. Still the best season

166
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 2: since twenty seventeen. But the biggest question they've got this

167
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 2: off season is if they're going to sign Zach Lavine

168
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 2: to a maximum contract. He's twenty seven years old. He's

169
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 2: coming off a really really nice three year run here

170
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 2: twenty five per game, forty seven from the field, forty

171
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 2: from three to eighty four at the line, five assists,

172
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 2: five rebounds. He tried playing defense at the beginning of

173
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 2: this year, but you know, he's stick an offensive player

174
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 2: out there. The injuring to his knee, no doubt, hampered

175
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 2: him during the second half of the season, so it's

176
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 2: kind of hard to tell how he's going to perform

177
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 2: against the playoff defense because he just didn't look like

178
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 2: Zach Levine. I didn't think against the Bucks there, but

179
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 2: it's also the Bucks. They're gonna make you not look

180
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 2: like yourself. Nonethless, Levine's eligible for a five year I

181
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 2: think two hundred and twelve million dollar max contract this summer,

182
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 2: which is very weird because this is the best bowlseason

183
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 2: since twenty seventeen. That's when Jimmy Butler was twenty seven

184
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 2: years old coming off his best career season ever, and

185
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,680
Speaker 2: the question then was is he the guy? Do you

186
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:45,560
Speaker 2: build around Jimmy Butler? So it feels very similar to

187
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,840
Speaker 2: me now with Zach Levine. They didn't build around Jimmy Butler.

188
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 2: They were terrible for five years and now they seem

189
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 2: to be back on the right path. So for me,

190
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 2: I'm one hundred percent in on Levine. I think obviously

191
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:58,439
Speaker 2: it's not a super max deal for him since he's

192
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 2: not an All NBA player or an NBA or a

193
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 2: major award winner. But yeah, I think they got to

194
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,080
Speaker 2: sign him to the max. I think it's a I

195
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 2: think it's a depressing end of the season if you

196
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 2: lose out, you know, for the final quarter of the season,

197
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,439
Speaker 2: and then the one guy who's stuck things through, you'll

198
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:15,839
Speaker 2: let him go somewhere else. So hopefully they bring back Levine,

199
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:17,840
Speaker 2: Hopefully he gets his knee cleaned up over the season

200
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:19,080
Speaker 2: and it's ready to go next year.

201
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:20,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, what do you do if you're the Bulls front off?

202
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:23,840
Speaker 1: This is a nol brainer, like Trey saying with Levine

203
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 1: and let's yeah five to twelve. I mean it's a

204
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 1: big deal. It's a big deal, but it's.

205
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 3: Kind of where the league is right now. That's not

206
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:31,199
Speaker 3: one of those like outlier contracts.

207
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 1: The only real concern with it, right is can he

208
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:37,079
Speaker 1: play in games? Yeah, because he's had many seasons where

209
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 1: he doesn't.

210
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, he missed an entire season to believe too. There. Yeah,

211
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:42,440
Speaker 3: he's twenty seven, So I don't think it's one of

212
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 3: those albatross contracts. I think if he doesn't, if he

213
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 3: does perform below that in the next year or two,

214
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:49,720
Speaker 3: I think there'll still be enough time for the Bulls

215
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,200
Speaker 3: to trade him, because again, the further into the contract

216
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 3: you go, the actual cheap rot is anyway. So maybe

217
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:57,680
Speaker 3: it's not a five year completely guaranteed. Maybe there's a

218
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:00,199
Speaker 3: team option at the end of that or even a

219
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 3: player option in that fifth year. Maybe, but he certainly

220
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 3: was a huge reason why the Bulls were so good

221
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 3: for that. As Trey mentioneds, it's sort of sixty games,

222
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 3: he was incredible, he was an All Star, he was

223
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:12,839
Speaker 3: playing well. He's really improved that three point shot. I mean,

224
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:14,440
Speaker 3: he took a dip back this season in terms of

225
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 3: his percentage, but I think in terms of his the

226
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 3: confidence you're having him taking that now, that's a part

227
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:19,840
Speaker 3: of his repertoire.

228
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 1: So that's good.

229
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 3: But I think the Bulls they their bigger question is

230
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 3: kind of what to do with Vucci.

231
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 1: I think I think he is eligible for a four year,

232
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,679
Speaker 1: one hundred and eighteen million dollars. Yeah, that to me is.

233
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 3: He's good. I think, if well, I don't, I think

234
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 3: maybe this if you can package him with something else

235
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 3: and improve that area. Look, Vicci's good. He can stretch

236
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 3: a floor. But I think at times as well, you know,

237
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:47,079
Speaker 3: he's he's not a traditional big. He's an undersized big,

238
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 3: and he gets exposed a little bit on the defensive

239
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 3: end in that sense when he's playing his best and

240
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 3: he spreads the floor out, he's passing the ball, hitting

241
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 3: those shots, he's great. But I think if the Bulls

242
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 3: want to get to another level, they need to improve

243
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:01,599
Speaker 3: in that area as their as their primary. He consented defensively,

244
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 3: if Caruso and Lunzo bull at playing on ball, perimitive

245
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:09,080
Speaker 3: defenders outstanding. You know, DeRozan so so defendive, but that's fine.

246
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:12,960
Speaker 3: He really gives you everything on the offensive end. Javonte Green,

247
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 3: I think, you know, there's some hope and some promise.

248
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 3: Patrick Williams another go out, But I think Vucci's probably

249
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:20,439
Speaker 3: best used for the Bulls as a boggaining chip he

250
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 3: to get improved in that area.

251
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, what do you do with Vucci? Baby?

252
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 2: Uh? Teach him to shoot again.

253
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 1: I think that's a big thing to take a step back.

254
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was a forty percent shooter in Orlando, thirty

255
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 2: percent for the Bulls, and like that's that's really Vucci's

256
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:35,080
Speaker 2: game right there. If he's not shooting the ball, then

257
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:37,679
Speaker 2: it's gonna look bad A lot of times so I

258
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 2: think if there's a trade out there, perhaps I would

259
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 2: be interested in that, but I don't think it's guaranteed.

260
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 2: I guess the good thing is that Vuchi only has

261
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:46,320
Speaker 2: one year left on his deal next year. I would

262
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 2: not be clamoring to sign him to an extension, but

263
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 2: I also don't think he necessarily has to go, as

264
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 2: long as the bench gets an upgrade as well, Like

265
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:56,559
Speaker 2: they got to get some defensive players, they got to

266
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 2: get a little bit more size. The Bulls just wore

267
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 2: down from playing small ball for the entire season. By

268
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 2: the end of the year, it's like they were barely

269
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 2: healthy enough to field the team. And you know, the

270
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 2: team that they were felt they were that they were

271
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 2: fielding was going up against the Bucks team that was gigantic,

272
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:13,559
Speaker 2: and that's obviously the team they're going to be chasing

273
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 2: here in the Central Division. Shout out to divisions for

274
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 2: the next few seasons here, because it's like you're trying

275
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 2: to beat the Bucks. You're trying to get past the

276
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 2: Bucks at some point, and I don't know how they're

277
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:24,720
Speaker 2: going to do that unless Bucci's a forty five percent

278
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 2: shooter from three.

279
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Bucks and then hell, even the Celtics probably

280
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:32,560
Speaker 1: aren't going anywhere here with their their squad. It's yeah,

281
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,560
Speaker 1: it's tough to imagine what the Bulls will look like

282
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 1: next year in terms of like where they land in

283
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:39,679
Speaker 1: the standings, like what will be considered. You know, good year.

284
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 1: It was a great year at the start, like Trey

285
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:43,440
Speaker 1: talked about, the Bulls were back, everybody was high on them.

286
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:46,479
Speaker 1: Then a couple of key injuries, especially to those perimeter defenders,

287
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 1: and the defense like sort of fell off a cliff

288
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 1: as you would expect. But what you know, what's going

289
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:54,560
Speaker 1: to be the goal next year for this team? Because

290
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,440
Speaker 1: now there will be expectations if everybody is playing you know,

291
00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 1: ball and Caruso and de Rosen and the keep and

292
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 1: they figure out what they're doing Withvich and all that

293
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:04,320
Speaker 1: and some young guys and Patrick Willibs like he's going

294
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:05,960
Speaker 1: to stay healthy, he's got to be on the courte

295
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:09,960
Speaker 1: They got Desumoo looks fantastic as a pick. There are

296
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 1: pieces there they'll they'll need to make, like a few

297
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:14,440
Speaker 1: moves around the edges. I think like some size would

298
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 1: help for sure, But what's a what will be the goal?

299
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 1: I guess is what I'm getting out here? For the

300
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:18,959
Speaker 1: next season.

301
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:21,560
Speaker 3: Well, they won forty six games this season, so I mean,

302
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 3: I think fifty is the sort.

303
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 1: Of fifty in a playoff series.

304
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think, yeah, finishing that fourth or fifth

305
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 3: spot in the Eastern Conference. But it's hard to see

306
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 3: them again taking another step and until they really do improve.

307
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:35,080
Speaker 3: But so much of it does come down to health

308
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 3: for them. So yeah, you know, because Lonzo ball was

309
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:39,680
Speaker 3: good when he played, but how many games he must

310
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:40,560
Speaker 3: have played thirty.

311
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 1: Thirty five games?

312
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:41,560
Speaker 5: Five?

313
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:41,960
Speaker 1: Wow?

314
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:45,079
Speaker 3: And Caruso obviously, I think he just gives them such.

315
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 1: A half the season two.

316
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:48,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, So and look some of those injuries, you know,

317
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 3: the Caruso one was obviously significantly unfortunate. What happened with

318
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:55,439
Speaker 3: Alan Lonzo. I can't remember what injury he's got right now.

319
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:57,200
Speaker 1: Kne the injury he's had that for a while.

320
00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:00,040
Speaker 3: Hasn't that problem that's actually going to hang around and

321
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 3: unless he can get that clean right up, because he

322
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:06,320
Speaker 3: is really also improved his three point shooting there, and yeah,

323
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 3: Patrick Williams and I so, yeah, they had some They've

324
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 3: gotta get their players healthy. Yeah, you know, I mean

325
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 3: that's uh, it's easy to say that. But if those

326
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:15,959
Speaker 3: guys around on the court. Then that's where you just

327
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 3: have so much more confident in the Bulls being able

328
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 3: to defend. I think that was a problem against the

329
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 3: Bucks especially. It was like, well they just got no

330
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 3: one there. They're they're trying the best they can to

331
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 3: sort of cover so many gaps.

332
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 1: Did you take down your bulls flag?

333
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 2: Not yet?

334
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 1: No, not yet. I didn't have time this morning. I'll

335
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 1: switch it out for the red one. Do you do

336
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 1: like a ceremonial flag folding thing like something? Okay, something special?

337
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 1: Maybe I'll play the crossroads Okay, Yeah, I don't know.

338
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I gotta go back to the regular season flag.

339
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 2: I thought the six time champion would help. I switched

340
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 2: to that flat or I got that flag first when

341
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 2: the Balls were on their win streak. Yeah, so I

342
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 2: was hoping I was gonna bring good luck. Got one

343
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 2: win against Giannis on the road in the playoffs, so

344
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 2: maybe it worked a little bit there, but not enough power.

345
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 1: Yes, all right, what a weird season for you and

346
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 1: your Chicago Yeah you almost wish it was like, uh

347
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 1: like flipped on its head, right, Yeah, Like they started

348
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 1: like the old classic Bulls of late and then went

349
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 1: on their killer run and then we would have got

350
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 1: nothing but Bulls backs. But hey, look it was a

351
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:19,960
Speaker 1: it was a What do you grade that season? A plus?

352
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 1: A plus?

353
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 2: Okay, I mean they didn't uh after being the worst

354
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 2: team in the league for four seasons. It's cool to

355
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 2: be back in the playoffs. But I will say we

356
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:30,840
Speaker 2: drove to Memphis, Bulls lost, saw the Bulls and the

357
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 2: Hawks play here in Atlanta. Bulls lost, flew back to

358
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 2: Chicago for Game three, Bulls lost by thirty. I might

359
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 2: not go to any Bulls games. Yeah, twenty twenty one

360
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 2: was good. I saw the Bulls beat the Pacers in

361
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 2: Chicago twenty twenty two, oh for three.

362
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 1: Okay, so I might have to retire. Maybe you've learned

363
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 1: your lesson.

364
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe I'm a little I will say I'm a

365
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 2: little concerned about the Bulls Knicks potential. You know, the

366
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 2: Knicks were great last year. They got into the playoffs.

367
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 2: Julius Randall had an all NBA season that can kind

368
00:15:56,480 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 2: of came out of nowhere. Many similarities, I would say

369
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 2: to DeMar Deroz and having his greatest season of all

370
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 2: time being an MVP candidate. So that's the big thing

371
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 2: to me, is to keep building, no complacency and don't

372
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 2: just run it back like that's the thing. It's like,

373
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 2: you had a good yeah, first two thirds of the season.

374
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 2: You can't say, let's just see what that team looks

375
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 2: like again, we got a tinker assuming even if that

376
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 2: team's totally healthy, not quite good enough. So I got

377
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 2: a little confidence in Akam. Yeah, Carnachiavius and Mark Eversley.

378
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 2: They made a whole bunch of moves last year, and

379
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:29,520
Speaker 2: it didn't seem like the Bulls could accomplish a ton,

380
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:31,440
Speaker 2: you know, with their cap space and all the assets

381
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 2: they had.

382
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:33,400
Speaker 1: So the cupboard is a little bare right now. But

383
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 1: they're pretty smart dudes.

384
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 2: All right.

385
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 1: Well, let's get to the third seeded Bucks advancing to

386
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:41,800
Speaker 1: face the second seeded Celtics in the Eastern Conference Semifinals

387
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 1: aka the second Round Game one on Sunday Sunday, Sunday

388
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 1: Sunday in Boston. Being the higher seed, so this is

389
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 1: a juicy matchup defending champs versus best team in the

390
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 1: NBA for the last three months, I mean record wise.

391
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 1: They say that they've won thirty of their last thirty

392
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 1: six games. The Celtics have you include the playoffs which

393
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:04,399
Speaker 1: is pretty wild. But the status of Chris Middleton in

394
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:06,879
Speaker 1: this We got some news here this morning from Sham's

395
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 1: at the Athletic that left mcl injury is a Grade

396
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:13,200
Speaker 1: two sprain for Middleton. He's expected to miss the entire

397
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:16,639
Speaker 1: second round series. At first, it happens on April twentieth,

398
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 1: in game two, the one where de Rozan goes off.

399
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:21,359
Speaker 1: They say we'll give it two weeks sort of reevaluate

400
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:25,159
Speaker 1: him then, and that's only what eight days ago, basically

401
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:27,879
Speaker 1: a week and a day ago. But they're saying no,

402
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:30,639
Speaker 1: he won't even probably be playing in this round, potentially

403
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 1: in jeopardy for a conference finals if the Bucks are

404
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:37,360
Speaker 1: to move on. He's played well, obviously over the last

405
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:40,200
Speaker 1: couple of seasons, even in Celtics playoff series, he's played

406
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 1: really well. I think he's averaged twenty two points per game,

407
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 1: twenty two and a half basically points per game on

408
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:46,199
Speaker 1: fifty two percent shooting. So I'm getting out here is like,

409
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:49,400
Speaker 1: can the Bucks do this? Can they win this series

410
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 1: without Chris Middleton if he's not playing at all against

411
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 1: this mighty Celtics defense.

412
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 3: They can? I think their best chance of doing so, though,

413
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 3: is to make sure they hold Serve at home and

414
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,639
Speaker 3: give themselves that one game Game seven in Boston to

415
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 3: try to win that one on the road. I don't

416
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:06,360
Speaker 3: think they're going to win either of these first two

417
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:09,959
Speaker 3: in Boston, don't know, because I think Udoka is going

418
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 3: to largely apply the same sort of defensive tactics to

419
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 3: Jannas as he did to Kevin Durant. Now Jannas is

420
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 3: more forced. I know, he's more forced than Finesse. But

421
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 3: at the same time, without Middleton there, you're saying Bobby

422
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 3: Portsy did have a good series against the Bulls, saying okay,

423
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:27,159
Speaker 3: well Bobby, you can see what you can do in

424
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 3: this series. Now, Drew Holiday, we know he's fantastic, a

425
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:32,719
Speaker 3: little bit up and down himself at times. So then

426
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:35,120
Speaker 3: it's like, okay, it's Pat Connaton, you know, Grace and Alla.

427
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:36,640
Speaker 3: Those guys are going to be able to really come

428
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 3: in and fill the void. They may, but I just

429
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:42,479
Speaker 3: I just watched the Boston Celtics stifle Kevin Durant like

430
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:44,520
Speaker 3: no one has ever done before, to the point where

431
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 3: he was so frustrated, he was turning the ball over,

432
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:48,480
Speaker 3: he was rushed to get his shots. And again I

433
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:51,440
Speaker 3: know it's a different way how you have to play Yannas.

434
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 3: But it's probably going to be Tatum to start, and

435
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:56,359
Speaker 3: then it's going to be Brown and Smart and Harford

436
00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 3: and everyone just like double him if his Yeah, exactly,

437
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:01,400
Speaker 3: if you're in the poe and you're down low and

438
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:04,680
Speaker 3: force Yarnis to have to basically play Game six against

439
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:06,920
Speaker 3: the Suns every single game of this series. I think

440
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:09,199
Speaker 3: that's largely what it's going to come down to. So

441
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:12,240
Speaker 3: it's a massive blow to lose Chris Middleton. He's that

442
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 3: release valve that Yannisy rely on, whereas it's.

443
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 1: Just twenty five points. Basically you're taking off the board.

444
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 3: And it's like Yannis can rest and it's like okay,

445
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:21,959
Speaker 3: now it's your turn, Milton. And also when he does

446
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,160
Speaker 3: get doubled in triple, it's like, okay, Middleton can attack,

447
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:26,439
Speaker 3: he can get to the line. So it's huge. The

448
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 3: Celtics defense is incredible and their offense is also very,

449
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 3: very tough to defend. So the Bucks are I've got

450
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 3: a huge obstacle here. They've got Yarnis though, so there's

451
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 3: no way, there's no way I'm thinking they're written off.

452
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:44,480
Speaker 3: But I just feel that their best chance is that

453
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:48,119
Speaker 3: one game where maybe Yarnis can just really explodes and

454
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:50,840
Speaker 3: explode and detonate them in that one game. Other than that,

455
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:52,800
Speaker 3: I'm probably leaning Boston right now.

456
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, people are saying Yanis versus the Celtics defense the

457
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 1: way it's been playing lately is the equivalent of the

458
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:01,400
Speaker 1: unstoppable force meeting the immovable object.

459
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:01,680
Speaker 2: Nice.

460
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 1: Yes, there's a lot of truth to that. I think,

461
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:07,720
Speaker 1: what do you think? What's what's the key storyline to

462
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:09,439
Speaker 1: this series? What are you watching? Does it just come

463
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 1: down to, like how the Celtics defend Honis, what he

464
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:14,359
Speaker 1: can do differently than KD put the pressure on officials

465
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 1: to make calls and get some of those Celtics players

466
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:18,479
Speaker 1: in foul trouble. What do you think happens.

467
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:20,679
Speaker 2: I think the Bucks can obviously still win this series.

468
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:23,159
Speaker 2: If you honest is the best player in this series,

469
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:25,720
Speaker 2: which you know, he's maybe the best player in the league,

470
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:28,480
Speaker 2: they certainly have a chance. But I'm I'm a little

471
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 2: bit more interested to see how the Bucks defend the

472
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 2: Celtics because moving Bobby Portis into the starting lineup I

473
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:36,240
Speaker 2: think made total sense. Against the Bulls, they have nobody

474
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:38,560
Speaker 2: that can beat you from the outside, So let's bring

475
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:41,119
Speaker 2: in all the sides we possibly can crush the glass

476
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 2: and make it really tough for the Bulls to score

477
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 2: in the paint. He's not really going to be able

478
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 2: to have anybody to guard, I don't think in the

479
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:49,120
Speaker 2: starting lineup against the Celtics, cause you got Drew Holliday

480
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 2: will guard one of the guards, right, like, whether that.

481
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:53,359
Speaker 1: Be Smartly or Jalen Brown.

482
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 2: I assume Wes Matthews is probably gonna get the Tatum assignment,

483
00:20:57,520 --> 00:20:59,399
Speaker 2: But then what like, who's guarding that other guard of

484
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:03,720
Speaker 2: Marcus smart or Jalen Brown or maybe or maybe Tatum

485
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:05,919
Speaker 2: I suppose, But it doesn't seem to me that Bobby

486
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:07,120
Speaker 2: Portis would be the choice there.

487
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:08,399
Speaker 1: He's more I think he's.

488
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 2: More of a four to five than a three four. Yeah,

489
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:12,439
Speaker 2: so that seems a little odd to me that he

490
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:14,720
Speaker 2: would stand in the starting lineup. He's obviously been really

491
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:16,360
Speaker 2: solid off the bench, A six Man of the Year

492
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 2: candidate for sure.

493
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:19,360
Speaker 1: So maybe content steps.

494
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:21,160
Speaker 2: Into the starting lineup and I get a they get

495
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:23,879
Speaker 2: a little bit more perimeter action, I don't know. So

496
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:26,159
Speaker 2: that's something I'm gonna definitely be watching for to see

497
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:29,080
Speaker 2: what how the Bucks approach trying to slow down the Celtics.

498
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:31,720
Speaker 1: Hell, what do you think about that matchup wise? When

499
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 1: you start this game and who's starting from Awai? Because Bobby,

500
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:36,520
Speaker 1: let me point this out, when he came in after

501
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:38,520
Speaker 1: the injury to Milton, he was great against.

502
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 2: All Yeah, he killed the Bulls.

503
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:41,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've been in fourteen and his three starts shot

504
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 1: forty eight percent from the floor in thirty seven percent

505
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:46,120
Speaker 1: from three because he can stretch the floor too. Yeah,

506
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 1: but this is a different series and different matchups here,

507
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:52,320
Speaker 1: And who's Bobby playing. You're putting them on Marcus Smart

508
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:53,360
Speaker 1: for crying out loud, like.

509
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:56,880
Speaker 3: Honestly, maybe I would not put him on Jaylen Brown.

510
00:21:56,880 --> 00:22:00,400
Speaker 3: I think Jayles Brown. Oh well, Cookie Titum will atsolutely

511
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:02,240
Speaker 3: cook him as well. This is the problem I think

512
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:04,639
Speaker 3: for the Bucks. West Matthews. I respect his career, but

513
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:08,240
Speaker 3: you saw against the Nets when Brooklyn, when Blake Griffin

514
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:10,240
Speaker 3: came on and New Dork was like he's the weak spot,

515
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:13,200
Speaker 3: bango straight at him. That's what I think they'll target

516
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 3: West Matthews. I think because he's older and he's a

517
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 3: bit slower and smaller, and you know Brown and Tatum,

518
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:20,159
Speaker 3: they're not going to be bothered at all by shooting

519
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:21,160
Speaker 3: over him Brown.

520
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:23,240
Speaker 1: You're a lot more bothered by Jiannis and brook Lawpez

521
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 1: behind him though.

522
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:27,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, but again, Jalen Brown, when he drives into the pain,

523
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:28,920
Speaker 3: I think that's when he's at his most effective because

524
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:30,639
Speaker 3: he can really get in there and cause some trouble.

525
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:35,120
Speaker 3: And yeah, Lopez is fine, but you know, I don't know, yeh.

526
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:36,160
Speaker 1: Come on, Loez.

527
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 2: Well, that's the thing.

528
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:43,639
Speaker 3: That's actually a good big old old centers like trudging

529
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:46,199
Speaker 3: up and down the court at each other, spread the

530
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 3: floor a bit though, So that could be a fun

531
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:50,760
Speaker 3: interesting series there. But they need to make sure that

532
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 3: Yarnis obviously doesn't get in foul trouble himself and the Celtics,

533
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:56,480
Speaker 3: I think again that they will. They will make him work.

534
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:59,160
Speaker 3: They'll try to get him exhausted at that end, because

535
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:02,000
Speaker 3: he's going to have to carry much of a load. Oh,

536
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:04,359
Speaker 3: it's a fascinating series. No I count White for it.

537
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 1: Is this a rivalry Bucks Celtics? And I asked that

538
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:08,720
Speaker 1: because it's gonna be the third time in the last

539
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 1: four years that they've met in the playoffs. That's pretty good.

540
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:14,720
Speaker 1: A lot of the same personnel obviously star personnel. Celtics

541
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:16,639
Speaker 1: won in seven games in the first round in eighteen

542
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:18,399
Speaker 1: and the Bucks won in five games in nineteen.

543
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:22,159
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Terry Rosier and Eric Blitzoe was the battle,

544
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 3: isn't it then? Obviously that was one of the ones. Yeah,

545
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:29,840
Speaker 3: I guess so, yeah, wow, I hadn't thought about it.

546
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:32,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, call me by surprise that this is the third time.

547
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:33,800
Speaker 1: Basically the last words.

548
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 2: They don't seem to have any beef though, the Celtics

549
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:38,480
Speaker 2: and the Bucks like they probably just respect each other

550
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:40,919
Speaker 2: too much. Yeah, Draymond versus jokis.

551
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:42,160
Speaker 1: Like a tip of the captain, you and a tip

552
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:46,119
Speaker 1: of the captain. Yeah, no, it's possible. Very excited for

553
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 1: this get started on Sunday. I think what we'll do

554
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:51,520
Speaker 1: is we'll make our official predictions on tomorrow's drop podcast. Okay,

555
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:53,720
Speaker 1: tass me back. Have a little more time to think

556
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:56,400
Speaker 1: about it, talk about some X factors and stuff like that.

557
00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:58,239
Speaker 1: But it should be a great series. Let's hear from

558
00:23:58,240 --> 00:23:58,680
Speaker 1: the stream team.

559
00:23:58,680 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 5: Now.

560
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:01,480
Speaker 1: I'm sure you guys are already dropping your Bucks in

561
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 1: blank predictions or Celtics in blank predictions, So have at it.

562
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:07,160
Speaker 1: Let us know what you're going to be watching in

563
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 1: this series, anything else from the Bucks winning, the Bulls

564
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 1: losing what they do in the off season, or Bucks

565
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:14,800
Speaker 1: Celtics Round two.

566
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:17,879
Speaker 3: Maybe fight Buck Celtics should be the conference finals for me.

567
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 1: Okay, that's interesting. You think whoever wins this series will

568
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:21,919
Speaker 1: probably go to the finals?

569
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:24,040
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, and I would like this to be the

570
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 3: one that gets you there too.

571
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:29,000
Speaker 1: So whoever wins the series, you would like to say

572
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:30,919
Speaker 1: the heat You would like to say that too.

573
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 4: Hate the Raptors.

574
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:34,080
Speaker 3: They just have a series for fun that.

575
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:37,120
Speaker 1: They don't even put it on TV.

576
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's weird, though I do think these are the

577
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:41,639
Speaker 3: two best teams in the East. So but it happens,

578
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:43,160
Speaker 3: It happens, you know, so.

579
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 1: I'll get ready for some angry Beantown boys when Jannis

580
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:52,960
Speaker 1: is going to the line seventeen eighteen eighteen times. Look,

581
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:56,159
Speaker 1: it's going to happen. This is the thing, Katie, you

582
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:58,240
Speaker 1: said it. That's perfect. Bit more of a finesse player,

583
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:02,240
Speaker 1: I can get my shot over anyone, which actually turned

584
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:03,880
Speaker 1: out to be maybe not that true against Jason Tatum

585
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:05,760
Speaker 1: who was ended up blocking jump shops, which was wild.

586
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:09,239
Speaker 1: But yeah, ho is he gonna do that? He's good? No, no, no, No,

587
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:12,440
Speaker 1: We're going to attack, attack, attack, and you know Smart's

588
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:16,080
Speaker 1: gonna be sliding in taking some charges and and Giannis

589
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 1: could get in foul trouble early. How much is he

590
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:21,159
Speaker 1: on Tatum trying to stow him? This is this is awesome.

591
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:23,840
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, there's gonna be some flopping going around. Hell's

592
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:26,399
Speaker 2: gonna be a lot of booze or the reps. We're

593
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:28,640
Speaker 2: gonna see a lot of reviews on this one. Because

594
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:31,439
Speaker 2: it's the playoffs. Giannis gets a little bit more leeway

595
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 2: for sure to lower his shoulder and knock a guy down.

596
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:35,840
Speaker 2: And obviously Smart, as the defensive player of the Year,

597
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:38,160
Speaker 2: is gonna be in the mix trying to take charges.

598
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:41,040
Speaker 2: So it's gonna be a wild one. But this is

599
00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:44,040
Speaker 2: a huge series, I think for Giannis, all things considered,

600
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:47,440
Speaker 2: especially with Chris Middleton, we know he's gonna be out now.

601
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:50,160
Speaker 2: The Bucks are gonna be the underdog here. I think, yeah,

602
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:52,440
Speaker 2: we'll be on the Celtics, right. So if Yannas shows

603
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:54,840
Speaker 2: up and you know, proves once again that he can

604
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 2: show up in the biggest moments, that just inches him

605
00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:00,560
Speaker 2: higher and higher on the list of all time greats.

606
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, should be good. We will make our

607
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:05,080
Speaker 1: official predictions on tomorrow's Drop podcast, but let's take our

608
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 1: first break. When we come back, we'll talk about the

609
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 1: Warriors advancing to the second round taking care of the

610
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:13,240
Speaker 1: Nuggets last night, and Doc Rivers had some interesting comments

611
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:15,679
Speaker 1: about his three to one collapses. We'll show you that

612
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:19,400
Speaker 1: clip and talk about it. Don't go anywhere, all right,

613
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:22,320
Speaker 1: back with the boys in the Classic Factory. Somebody here

614
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:24,440
Speaker 1: in the stream team Lee off of that ad read

615
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:28,440
Speaker 1: says you have the worst taste in music. How do

616
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:30,000
Speaker 1: you feel about that? Did you write that?

617
00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:30,199
Speaker 2: No?

618
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:35,520
Speaker 1: It was Berto eats well, Berto, but he says he

619
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:36,320
Speaker 1: loves you.

620
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:39,639
Speaker 3: Well, I guess Berto's got the right taste in music.

621
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:46,199
Speaker 1: All right, Let's get to the Western Conference game from

622
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 1: last night, and it was Curry and the Warriors holding

623
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:52,880
Speaker 1: off Jokic eliminating the Nuggets in Game five. See you later.

624
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 1: Denver put up a fight through in this one.

625
00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:57,320
Speaker 3: Ah, they did. They held off is the right way

626
00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:00,399
Speaker 3: of saying this. I felt bad for your kitchen in

627
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:02,359
Speaker 3: the end because he was in a bit of foul trouble.

628
00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:05,080
Speaker 3: He had some hamstring injury there as well. He was

629
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:06,959
Speaker 3: on the bike trying to sort of stay warm. He

630
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:09,040
Speaker 3: was brilliant trying to get his team over the line here.

631
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:11,879
Speaker 3: They just didn't quite have enough. Sort of felt like

632
00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:14,480
Speaker 3: almost the Nuggets season, it was like, oh, at their best,

633
00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:17,520
Speaker 3: they can be, you know, really good, but the margin

634
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:19,840
Speaker 3: for error is pretty thin there and they just came

635
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:22,760
Speaker 3: up a smid short. They led this one actually going

636
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:25,120
Speaker 3: into that fourth quarter by eight points, and it wasn't

637
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 3: even a great quarter. I didn't think by the by

638
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 3: the Warriors. But Gary Payton played really well in that game,

639
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:31,920
Speaker 3: hit a big three, His dad was on the sideline

640
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:34,840
Speaker 3: celebrating there. Steph Curry returned to somewhat of his form

641
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:38,040
Speaker 3: there with thirty points, hit three big threes to sort

642
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:39,560
Speaker 3: of the end of the third into the fourth. He

643
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:42,640
Speaker 3: was great. But I just I looked at the Nuggets

644
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:44,399
Speaker 3: and I was just like, they just can't. They're not

645
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:47,440
Speaker 3: going to get over the line here. And Michael Malone

646
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 3: tried a few things but couldn't couldn't sort of stop

647
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:53,520
Speaker 3: the Warriors really at the key time there. So their

648
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:57,159
Speaker 3: season ends. It sucks to see Yokich out again. You know,

649
00:27:57,359 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 3: he got swept out last year, loses in five. This time,

650
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:03,920
Speaker 3: He's probably gonna win the MVP again, and the Nuggets

651
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 3: I just hope, for like anything, they can have a

652
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 3: full healthy season, because you knew, like even if they

653
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:11,719
Speaker 3: won last night, they weren't going to win this series,

654
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:16,680
Speaker 3: you know. But it was I thought maybe last night

655
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:18,760
Speaker 3: and the Warriors returned to that sort of lineup of

656
00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:22,440
Speaker 3: death or whatever they're calling it now, with Steph coming

657
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 3: back in and Cavon Looney coming out, I thought, maybe

658
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:26,119
Speaker 3: they're just going to try to run the Nuggets off

659
00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:28,040
Speaker 3: the floor here, and the Nuggets sort of don't even

660
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:30,240
Speaker 3: put up a fight. That didn't happen at all. Denver

661
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 3: fought and scrapped until the very very end. Just didn't

662
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:36,720
Speaker 3: have enough horses though really to win the game.

663
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:41,320
Speaker 1: K loves horses, Yeah, the ex but the Joker twelve

664
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 1: is thirty points in the final three and a half minutes.

665
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 1: Basically he finished with eighteen boards too, and it assis

666
00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 1: and he was scoring, I mean basically every time down.

667
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:53,720
Speaker 1: They just could not get stopped. And now, unfortunately he

668
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:55,560
Speaker 1: was involved a lot in a lot of that action

669
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:58,520
Speaker 1: that the Warriors were marching to the rim. They're you know,

670
00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:01,520
Speaker 1: putting him in movement exactly right. He's gassed and doing

671
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:04,000
Speaker 1: everything offensively, and you know, I thought he got a

672
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 1: little exposed there like the team did.

673
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:08,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely, the Warriors just have too much for the

674
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 2: Nuggets to be able to handle with this version of

675
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:13,520
Speaker 2: the Nuggets. And I think you it really shows up

676
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:16,080
Speaker 2: in the three point stats. Six threes for the Nuggets

677
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:18,480
Speaker 2: last night, thirteen for the Warriors, Like, if you're minus

678
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:20,520
Speaker 2: twenty one from the three point line, you're gonna have

679
00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:23,240
Speaker 2: a tough time against Golden State. I thought the most

680
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:26,040
Speaker 2: interesting thing from this game probably is going with Gary

681
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:29,320
Speaker 2: Payton the second over Jordan Poole there in the fourth quarter.

682
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:31,840
Speaker 2: Pool didn't have it going. You know, he's had a

683
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:34,000
Speaker 2: really nice start to the playoffs here, but we've also

684
00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:36,400
Speaker 2: seen him have brutal games like he did last night.

685
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 2: But it was very easy for the Warriors to stick

686
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:41,640
Speaker 2: with a small ball lineup that's just a little bit

687
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:46,120
Speaker 2: more defensively sound, with Gary Payton rather than Jordan Poole.

688
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:47,880
Speaker 2: So to get the offense that you got from Gary

689
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:50,440
Speaker 2: Payton was incredible. You know, he was attacking space, hit

690
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:52,880
Speaker 2: a couple of threes. I don't know if you're necessarily

691
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:54,720
Speaker 2: going to be relying on that, but when it's happening

692
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:56,720
Speaker 2: ride the hot hand, So shout out to Steve Kurr.

693
00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 2: I thought he made some smart moves there, and yeah

694
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:03,920
Speaker 2: started uh started steph for Kevon Looney, which a little

695
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:08,960
Speaker 2: bit by that. They did bring Looney in pretty quickly. Yeah,

696
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:12,120
Speaker 2: you know, I think the biggest worry then, at least

697
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:14,520
Speaker 2: against playing against Yokich, is that Draymond could get in

698
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:16,800
Speaker 2: foul trouble. But you know, maybe that's not going to

699
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:18,560
Speaker 2: be quite as big of a deal in this second

700
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 2: round series.

701
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:21,480
Speaker 1: I think Lee you're thinking with Kurr is right, We'll

702
00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 1: start with the you know, mega death line up, whatever

703
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:26,760
Speaker 1: the heck we're calling it, and see if we can

704
00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 1: just run him off the floor. We'll splash a bunch

705
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 1: of threes and see if they just like roll into

706
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:31,440
Speaker 1: a ball and die. And they didn't. I thought Aaron

707
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:33,640
Speaker 1: Gordon was really aggressive to start the game. Yeah, like

708
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:36,720
Speaker 1: he played well. He had a bad bad turnover late.

709
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:38,800
Speaker 1: Was that him? I think that threw it away after

710
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:42,479
Speaker 1: that incredible poss Oh yeah, right right right, yeah, it

711
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:44,200
Speaker 1: was it was too hot for he was I didn't

712
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:45,600
Speaker 1: expect it, and then he threw it back and it

713
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:48,040
Speaker 1: was Yeah, that was a crucial play. Yeah, that was

714
00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 1: like a two point game, I think, still at that

715
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 1: point with not a lot of time to go. But yeah,

716
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:54,280
Speaker 1: and then Kerr electing, like you said, to go with

717
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:57,880
Speaker 1: GP two and you know it's easy because he's out

718
00:30:57,880 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 1: there for defense, but then he's also going to chip

719
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:01,640
Speaker 1: in fifteen point it's and hit a three when it

720
00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:05,080
Speaker 1: was like a five point game there. Yeah, then you're like, Okay,

721
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:07,000
Speaker 1: now I look like a genius because he's actually given

722
00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:08,440
Speaker 1: us that. I think Curs said as much. He's like

723
00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:11,160
Speaker 1: he was scoring, he was attacking, he was hitting threes.

724
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:13,760
Speaker 1: It was sort of a noil brainer to have him continue.

725
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:16,080
Speaker 1: What do you think about Steph Curry's new celebration putting

726
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:19,920
Speaker 1: putting teams to sleep? Oh like scoring elite.

727
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:22,640
Speaker 3: Now he's done it twice a yeah, Stretcher, I well,

728
00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:24,560
Speaker 3: that might come back to haunting one day, because I mean,

729
00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:26,920
Speaker 3: you know, they might have come back to hant well,

730
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:29,440
Speaker 3: because if I'm taking it as like the game's over,

731
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:32,000
Speaker 3: like go to bed sort of thing, I mean, it

732
00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 3: was only a four point game here, one or two

733
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 3: possessions the other way, and the Nuggets pull off the victory.

734
00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:40,240
Speaker 3: I thought Boogey Cousins was really good luck. Shocked to

735
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:43,080
Speaker 3: learn his career playoff high was nineteen points. I know

736
00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:45,560
Speaker 3: he hasn't obviously played a ton of playoff games, but

737
00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:49,160
Speaker 3: nineteen was funny to hear, and he had a nice

738
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:50,960
Speaker 3: little and Grant Hill caught it on the play on

739
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:53,440
Speaker 3: the broadcast. How did Nicola Jokic floater in the lane

740
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:56,600
Speaker 3: there too? So? Yeah, but when he's your second best player,

741
00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 3: as I think he probably was there last night, yes

742
00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:01,320
Speaker 3: at that point.

743
00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:04,880
Speaker 1: Okay, well, let's talk about the Nuggets then. Top priority

744
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:07,440
Speaker 1: this offseason? What is it? Just get healthy health? Yeah,

745
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:08,280
Speaker 1: one hundred percent.

746
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:11,840
Speaker 2: That's make sure that Michael Porter Junior and Jamal Murray

747
00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:14,880
Speaker 2: are ready to go for next season. They won their

748
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:18,760
Speaker 2: first four games last year with Jokic, Murray, Porter, Gordon

749
00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:21,160
Speaker 2: and Barton as their starting lineup. They look like a

750
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:23,240
Speaker 2: legit title contender. We just didn't get to really see

751
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:25,480
Speaker 2: them gel together for the entirety of this season, and

752
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:28,680
Speaker 2: then this year obviously we didn't get to see them

753
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:31,640
Speaker 2: basically at all. I'm a little bit more concerned with

754
00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:35,080
Speaker 2: Michael Porter Junior than Jamal Murray just because backs seem

755
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:37,680
Speaker 2: a little bit trickier to me than knees Also, I

756
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:40,080
Speaker 2: think Murray has kind of been cleared to play this season,

757
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:42,520
Speaker 2: but doesn't want to play until he's one hundred percent,

758
00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:43,840
Speaker 2: and it is going to be the Jamal Murray we're

759
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:44,320
Speaker 2: all used to.

760
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:45,760
Speaker 1: So hopefully that's the case.

761
00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:48,160
Speaker 2: Next year because I think that answers a lot of

762
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:51,160
Speaker 2: questions for the Nuggets. Obviously, Monte Morris becomes the backup

763
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:54,600
Speaker 2: point guard, which is what he should be for this

764
00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:57,520
Speaker 2: Nuggets team. Both of the Greens, Jeff and Jamichael, become

765
00:32:57,560 --> 00:32:59,720
Speaker 2: the backup bigs rather than Jeff Green having to start

766
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:03,000
Speaker 2: as a small ball four. I would also like to

767
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:05,160
Speaker 2: see a wing upgrade if they can. Will Barton. They

768
00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 2: ask a lot from him. He's performed well for them,

769
00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:09,680
Speaker 2: but that's certainly a place they could get better. And

770
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:11,920
Speaker 2: their bench I think could use a refresh, you know,

771
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:15,400
Speaker 2: Brent Forbes fora Kundo Kompaza Austin Rivers. You don't need

772
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:17,800
Speaker 2: to really keep any of those guys. Maybe something that's

773
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:20,040
Speaker 2: a little bit different, a little variety in those three

774
00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:21,720
Speaker 2: guards would be helpful next season.

775
00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:23,880
Speaker 3: It'd be interesting to see how Bones goes next season

776
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:25,960
Speaker 3: as well. Had some really good moments, not so much

777
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:28,920
Speaker 3: last night, but other games. You can definitely shoot. He's

778
00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:31,440
Speaker 3: a fire cracker off the bench there, like a J

779
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:33,560
Speaker 3: Smith or a Lou Williams or something like that. I mean,

780
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:36,320
Speaker 3: if he can give them good consistent production, that'll help them.

781
00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:39,560
Speaker 1: And they need desperately players like that for Bones to

782
00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:41,640
Speaker 1: like sort of pop off as a rookie because they

783
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:44,080
Speaker 1: have so much money locked up. Yeah, with the Supermax

784
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:46,560
Speaker 1: kicking in here for Yokicic very soon, Like they have

785
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:50,560
Speaker 1: three Max guys, Jokic, Jamal and Michael Porter Junior, like

786
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:53,280
Speaker 1: only the Lakers, Nets and Warriors have three Max guys.

787
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:55,440
Speaker 1: And then Gordon is like a twenty million per year

788
00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:58,080
Speaker 1: player that were going up. I think he's like nineteen

789
00:33:58,160 --> 00:33:58,800
Speaker 1: or something.

790
00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:00,560
Speaker 3: You know, obviously, but he must only have a year

791
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:01,040
Speaker 3: left or so.

792
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:02,760
Speaker 1: They might have one or two left on.

793
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:04,880
Speaker 3: Because I actually think Gordon is a really good fit

794
00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:06,600
Speaker 3: on this team. I like him on the team, but

795
00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:08,719
Speaker 3: he needs to be more consistent. But that's also been

796
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:10,520
Speaker 3: a trademark of his entire career.

797
00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:13,279
Speaker 1: Easier for him to be the consistent fourth guy on

798
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:15,960
Speaker 1: the team though, third or fourth guy, than the second guy.

799
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:18,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure. Being asked, it's just you just want

800
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:21,120
Speaker 3: him to have that production that he gives you at times,

801
00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:22,920
Speaker 3: you know, but I just still remember in his all

802
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:25,040
Speaker 3: Lando days, it'd be forty six percent from three in

803
00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:27,200
Speaker 3: the first month of the season. Yeah, it finish at

804
00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:29,879
Speaker 3: like twenty six percent, you know. So, But I think

805
00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:31,839
Speaker 3: the reason I think he's a good fit is because

806
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:34,640
Speaker 3: of his athleticism. It's perfect for Jokic. You know, you

807
00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:36,520
Speaker 3: run to the rim, he'll find you. He'll do that.

808
00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:38,680
Speaker 3: And if he can spread the floor and hit those

809
00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:41,200
Speaker 3: threes consistently, then he's very good. And defensively you saw

810
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:44,040
Speaker 3: him on Steph there a little bit last night. Again,

811
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:45,640
Speaker 3: I think he can be one of those sort of

812
00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:48,120
Speaker 3: lockdown defenders like that when he really locks in. He's

813
00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:51,600
Speaker 3: just consistency. He's the biggest problem.

814
00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:55,279
Speaker 1: Also, I saw Bobby Marks right about they have to

815
00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:58,359
Speaker 1: decide ownership. Does Are they going to use something like

816
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:00,880
Speaker 1: a mid level exception like six million dollars to go

817
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:02,960
Speaker 1: get maybe some depth like you said usmall for or

818
00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:05,600
Speaker 1: something around the edges? And if they do, that's gonna

819
00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:07,399
Speaker 1: cost him a lot more than six million, because you're

820
00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:09,920
Speaker 1: getting into a luxury tex and gotta do it? Will

821
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:10,279
Speaker 1: they do it?

822
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:12,479
Speaker 2: Got a two time MVP. You gotta spend every single

823
00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:15,680
Speaker 2: dollar possible, especially with the way this year went, like

824
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:18,239
Speaker 2: Jokic had an awesome season, one of the best statistical

825
00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:21,480
Speaker 2: seasons we've ever seen, gonna win the MVP, but not

826
00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:23,680
Speaker 2: even close in the playoffs, right, Like, you don't want

827
00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:26,720
Speaker 2: to continue to run it back. That's just wasting his time,

828
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:29,719
Speaker 2: to be quite honest. And you know, if if you

829
00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:33,359
Speaker 2: continue to have nothing seasons, then that's when people want

830
00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:35,080
Speaker 2: to leave. I don't think that's gonna happen with Jokic,

831
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:37,640
Speaker 2: but uh but I would be doing everything possible to

832
00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:39,720
Speaker 2: build a great team around him. And if that means

833
00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:41,680
Speaker 2: you're spending a ton of money, then that's why you're

834
00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:42,479
Speaker 2: a billionaire. Yeah.

835
00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:46,240
Speaker 1: Good point. Do you think this team, when fully healthy,

836
00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:49,319
Speaker 1: can like legit win a title like next season? Jamal

837
00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:51,239
Speaker 1: Murray a hundred percent. Let's say, Michael Porter Junior one

838
00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:53,439
Speaker 1: hundred percent. Ag there all these other guys we talked

839
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:55,560
Speaker 1: about obviously Jokic. Is that enough?

840
00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:57,919
Speaker 3: I mean I think so you just need to see

841
00:35:57,960 --> 00:35:59,520
Speaker 3: you need to be reminded of how good Jamal.

842
00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:00,800
Speaker 1: Why don't you conference finals?

843
00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:01,080
Speaker 4: Yeah?

844
00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:03,560
Speaker 1: I know it's a weird, yeah, but he was.

845
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:05,720
Speaker 3: He really stepped his game up though I think Michael

846
00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:08,239
Speaker 3: Porter Junior is probably the biggest outline here, Like, what

847
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:11,680
Speaker 3: is this guy? Is he a really really really good shooter, scorer,

848
00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:14,360
Speaker 3: offensive player, but a SIV at the other end, because

849
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:16,919
Speaker 3: that's his He doesn't defend at all, And he needs

850
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:18,440
Speaker 3: to be a if you're going to pay him that

851
00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:20,040
Speaker 3: much money and he's going to be on the court

852
00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:22,360
Speaker 3: and that important to the team, third best player. No, no,

853
00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:25,319
Speaker 3: worse than that. He needs to not just give away

854
00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:27,719
Speaker 3: all his points on the defensive end. So but I

855
00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:29,200
Speaker 3: think so, I think so. I mean when you got

856
00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:31,479
Speaker 3: Yokich like that at his best. The great thing about

857
00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:33,840
Speaker 3: Yokich is he doesn't want to score thirty five to

858
00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:36,080
Speaker 3: forty points a game. He's be happy with twenty two

859
00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:39,080
Speaker 3: points and twelve assists. And the Nuggets, I would guess

860
00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:42,120
Speaker 3: if he's getting if he's producing like that, they're more

861
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:44,279
Speaker 3: likely to win games. So I do like them. But

862
00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:45,160
Speaker 3: you just got to see it.

863
00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:48,080
Speaker 1: I told Nora last night when they were about to lose,

864
00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:50,160
Speaker 1: as like, at least he can go back to his horses,

865
00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:53,040
Speaker 1: you know, I think that brings him comfort, right, lots

866
00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:55,400
Speaker 1: of horses, She said, Go, I feel bad for those horses.

867
00:36:55,719 --> 00:36:56,000
Speaker 6: Yeah.

868
00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:57,920
Speaker 1: Well, I was like, I don't think he's right. I mean,

869
00:36:57,960 --> 00:36:59,880
Speaker 1: I don't see a lot of pictures of him riding

870
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:03,120
Speaker 1: topdragging him along. Yeah, you got the wheels to help

871
00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:06,719
Speaker 1: you out horses man. Yeah, And I said, I said

872
00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:09,480
Speaker 1: pound nothing for all. I said, think about this, This

873
00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:11,839
Speaker 1: man walks around day to day life, feel kids right

874
00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:13,359
Speaker 1: as one of the biggest men.

875
00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:15,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, and on the planet.

876
00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:18,800
Speaker 1: Like if I'm not really even exaggerating, Yeah, he probably

877
00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:23,120
Speaker 1: likes to be around gigantic horses because it's like it's

878
00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:25,760
Speaker 1: it's almost has more of a connection with them because

879
00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:29,879
Speaker 1: they're my size. Yeah, a steam and he is majestic.

880
00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:33,719
Speaker 1: He is graceful like a giant horse can be. I mean,

881
00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:34,200
Speaker 1: I don't like.

882
00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:36,200
Speaker 2: Race raceful like a giant.

883
00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:38,280
Speaker 1: You know, a horse is graceful and I hate horses.

884
00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:40,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that's the one good thing you can

885
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:42,800
Speaker 2: say about horses. They are graceful. Yeah.

886
00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:45,400
Speaker 1: Anyway, I think this is why he finds comfort in it.

887
00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:47,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just think of anytime you see a horse

888
00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:50,200
Speaker 3: race though, the junkies. There's a reason they're five ft

889
00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:51,600
Speaker 3: two and weigh sixty pounds.

890
00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:54,399
Speaker 1: I mean, I understand that he's not racing horses though.

891
00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:56,560
Speaker 3: But still I'm just saying he's he's on the back

892
00:37:56,600 --> 00:37:56,960
Speaker 3: of the horse.

893
00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:58,640
Speaker 1: So you take a horse hold on, do you think

894
00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:02,480
Speaker 1: a giant horse sees OK walking up to the buggy.

895
00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:07,399
Speaker 3: Behind Jesus six eleven, six ten.

896
00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:09,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, they just like this guy.

897
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:10,719
Speaker 3: The guy gets in there.

898
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:15,440
Speaker 1: Just I know this strong. I agree this strong. I

899
00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:17,960
Speaker 1: think they like the horses, aren't strong. I think they

900
00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:20,239
Speaker 1: like the childnge. Oh come on, big boy, jump in.

901
00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:21,840
Speaker 1: Where's your brothers?

902
00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:22,640
Speaker 2: Get him in?

903
00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:28,800
Speaker 1: All right? Anything else on h on Nuggets Warriors the series, Uh,

904
00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:31,080
Speaker 1: most of us had this going. I guess I had it.

905
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:33,200
Speaker 1: I had it in six. I thought maybe the Nuggets

906
00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:36,040
Speaker 1: would grab one more. But Warriors look pretty dominant and

907
00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:37,719
Speaker 1: look like they could win a title. Do you think

908
00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:39,719
Speaker 1: they care at all who they play in the second round?

909
00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:43,720
Speaker 1: Wolves or Grizzlies. No, not. You don't think they're cheering

910
00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:45,160
Speaker 1: a little bit for the Wolves.

911
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:47,200
Speaker 3: So they get I think if they were to choose,

912
00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:49,040
Speaker 3: that would choose menicide. But I don't think that they're

913
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:51,400
Speaker 3: wired about the Grizzlies. And the Grizzlies are gonna be

914
00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:53,160
Speaker 3: good if they're at home and all that, But the

915
00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:55,520
Speaker 3: Warriors that just being there in their experience and they're

916
00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:59,080
Speaker 3: looking healthier and better, and yeah, so I don't think.

917
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:01,040
Speaker 1: So it'd be nice to get it Steven Adams versus

918
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:07,800
Speaker 1: Draymond Green battle again. Watch your horses, Watch your horses.

919
00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:10,040
Speaker 2: I mean, that's a cool storyline too, with the Wiggins

920
00:39:10,239 --> 00:39:14,759
Speaker 2: for D'Angelo Russell trade in Minnesota there, and then of

921
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:17,279
Speaker 2: course we've got Draymond versus Steven Adams, and obviously I

922
00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:19,319
Speaker 2: think people would like to see Job vers as Steph Curry.

923
00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:21,719
Speaker 2: But I'm with Lee. I don't really think the Warriors

924
00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:26,120
Speaker 2: are nervous about either of these teams, just because Minnesota

925
00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:29,799
Speaker 2: and Memphis have looked super inexperienced and the Warriors, as

926
00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:32,839
Speaker 2: we know, have a lot of continuity built up over

927
00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:33,240
Speaker 2: the years.

928
00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:35,000
Speaker 1: Okay, well this we got to get to here. This

929
00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:37,399
Speaker 1: is a lot of fun. Seventy six Ers head coach

930
00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:41,960
Speaker 1: Doc Rivers, guys, does not care for the narrative associating

931
00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:45,680
Speaker 1: him with blowing multiple three to one playoff series leads.

932
00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:49,120
Speaker 1: In fact, he got downright defensive when discussing his past

933
00:39:49,120 --> 00:39:52,600
Speaker 1: team's collapses. And we got to show you the entire clip.

934
00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:53,920
Speaker 1: Here's Doc on Wednesday.

935
00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:57,439
Speaker 5: Easy to use me as an example. But I wish

936
00:39:57,480 --> 00:40:01,720
Speaker 5: I would tell the whole story with me. My Orlando

937
00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:04,480
Speaker 5: team is the ape Seed. No one gives me credit

938
00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:07,000
Speaker 5: for getting out against the Pistons who won the title.

939
00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:08,879
Speaker 5: That was in the Ape Seed.

940
00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:09,440
Speaker 2: Go look at that.

941
00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:11,120
Speaker 5: I want you to go back and look at that roster.

942
00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:14,400
Speaker 5: I dare you to go back and look at that roster,

943
00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:17,239
Speaker 5: and you would say, not a hell of a coaching job.

944
00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:18,480
Speaker 2: Really.

945
00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:22,520
Speaker 5: I mean the Clipper team that we lost three one

946
00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:26,320
Speaker 5: Chris Paul didn't play in the first two games and

947
00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:30,040
Speaker 5: was playing on one leg, and we didn't have home court.

948
00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:31,839
Speaker 5: And then the last one, to me is the one

949
00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:34,239
Speaker 5: we blew. That's the one I said, we blew that.

950
00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:37,120
Speaker 5: And now I was in the bubble and anything could

951
00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:38,960
Speaker 5: happen in the boat. Well there's no home court. Game

952
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:43,520
Speaker 5: seven would have been in La, you know, but it

953
00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:46,320
Speaker 5: just happened. So I would say with me, some of

954
00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:48,840
Speaker 5: them is we got I gotta do better. Always always

955
00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:50,400
Speaker 5: take my own responsibility.

956
00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:51,000
Speaker 3: Uh.

957
00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:54,239
Speaker 5: And then some of it as circumstances happened. You know

958
00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:56,440
Speaker 5: this one, let's win it and we don't have to

959
00:40:56,520 --> 00:40:57,120
Speaker 5: talk about it.

960
00:40:57,640 --> 00:41:01,040
Speaker 1: All right. So there's the clip making making rounds yesterday.

961
00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:03,680
Speaker 1: I wish y'all would tell the whole story with me.

962
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:06,360
Speaker 1: That's what Doc wants. Just a little fact checking on you,

963
00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:09,080
Speaker 1: Doc though, just so we have this right. In two

964
00:41:09,120 --> 00:41:11,840
Speaker 1: thousand and three, the magic team that he's talking about

965
00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:13,319
Speaker 1: that took that three to one lead on the top

966
00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:16,279
Speaker 1: seeded Pistons. Yes, Detroit went on to win the next

967
00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:19,360
Speaker 1: three games Spike combined sixty one points to go to

968
00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:21,359
Speaker 1: the second round, but they would then lose to the

969
00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:23,400
Speaker 1: Nets in the East Finals.

970
00:41:23,360 --> 00:41:24,760
Speaker 3: So they didn't win the champions Yeah.

971
00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:26,040
Speaker 1: So he had that part wrong. They went on to

972
00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:28,360
Speaker 1: win the title the next year, the Pistons did, but

973
00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:33,200
Speaker 1: that three to one collapse wasn't to the actual, you know,

974
00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:36,440
Speaker 1: championship team. That's all. That's all. Otherwise, this is amazing

975
00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:39,280
Speaker 1: that he is going through all of this getting ready

976
00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:41,880
Speaker 1: in theory for a Game six in Toronto.

977
00:41:42,080 --> 00:41:47,720
Speaker 2: Gordon Garrett Chek trash clerk, trash Pat Garrity, I mean facts, facts.

978
00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:50,479
Speaker 2: I mean, he's not totally wrong, but what he could

979
00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:53,600
Speaker 2: have said is nothing, you know, or I'm focusing on

980
00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:57,000
Speaker 2: the raptors here. Instead, he's bringing up playoff series from

981
00:41:57,000 --> 00:41:59,680
Speaker 2: twenty years which to me just makes you think he's

982
00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:02,319
Speaker 2: thinking about it, Oh my god, thinking about it. My

983
00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:05,520
Speaker 2: personal favorite is that he basically blames Chris Paul coming

984
00:42:05,560 --> 00:42:08,359
Speaker 2: back for yeah, for the Clippers blowing a three one lead.

985
00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:08,919
Speaker 1: Yees.

986
00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:10,160
Speaker 2: I don't know.

987
00:42:10,200 --> 00:42:13,160
Speaker 1: This is just a weird clip from from Doc.

988
00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:16,879
Speaker 2: Like I said, he should have just said nothing, or like,

989
00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:19,120
Speaker 2: we're trying to beat the raptors here, who cares what

990
00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:21,120
Speaker 2: happened literally twenty years ago.

991
00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:23,279
Speaker 1: I also, I think it's important to make this clear.

992
00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:25,480
Speaker 1: This was like from what I could tell, at least

993
00:42:25,520 --> 00:42:28,400
Speaker 1: I saw it on Twitter from a Philadelphia account.

994
00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:29,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, this is it like.

995
00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:32,360
Speaker 1: Raptors fans like trying to rile them up here, Oh

996
00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:34,839
Speaker 1: look at this, or or Raptors reporters like asking this quote?

997
00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:37,000
Speaker 1: This was This was from again what I think was

998
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:40,759
Speaker 1: seventy six ers reporters and Philly reporters asking him about this,

999
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:43,359
Speaker 1: which makes it even funnier to me. But yeah, what's

1000
00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:45,799
Speaker 1: your what's your takenaway anything? From this? Does he have

1001
00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:47,880
Speaker 1: a Is he right on a lot of the stuff

1002
00:42:47,880 --> 00:42:49,880
Speaker 1: he's saying outside of that one little fact check there?

1003
00:42:49,920 --> 00:42:51,920
Speaker 3: Well, he was right when he said we with a

1004
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:55,239
Speaker 3: number eight seat. That was right, you know, that was

1005
00:42:55,320 --> 00:42:59,319
Speaker 3: that was up three one. Yeah, McGrady was like, I'm

1006
00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:02,760
Speaker 3: getting ready for this second round or something like that. Yeah,

1007
00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:05,319
Speaker 3: but that did really spark I think the Pistons because

1008
00:43:05,320 --> 00:43:07,080
Speaker 3: you mentioned they blew them out after that.

1009
00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:07,920
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1010
00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:10,200
Speaker 3: The Clippers Rocket series, that was definitely the weirdest one

1011
00:43:10,200 --> 00:43:12,680
Speaker 3: for me because it was like, yeah, you didn't have

1012
00:43:12,719 --> 00:43:18,200
Speaker 3: Chris Paul the thirsty games, but you split those. But

1013
00:43:18,280 --> 00:43:21,640
Speaker 3: Doc is absolutely rattled right now. They know they've got

1014
00:43:21,640 --> 00:43:24,879
Speaker 3: to end the series tonight. They have to even though

1015
00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:27,720
Speaker 3: they're going home for a Game seven. The last place

1016
00:43:27,760 --> 00:43:29,560
Speaker 3: in the world they were to be is losing a

1017
00:43:29,600 --> 00:43:31,759
Speaker 3: Game seven on their home court after being up three

1018
00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:35,120
Speaker 3: to one. And I know it myself because I mentioned

1019
00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:36,960
Speaker 3: that I thought the Sixers were going to get devoured

1020
00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:38,840
Speaker 3: by the Raptors, and I've had a few Philly fans

1021
00:43:39,040 --> 00:43:42,880
Speaker 3: reminded me when they were down three zero of that prediction.

1022
00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:45,960
Speaker 3: So now I'm just quietly waiting for the I've got

1023
00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:51,040
Speaker 3: a few I've got a few gifts chamber just in case, chambree.

1024
00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:53,280
Speaker 1: So you think they have to take care of business

1025
00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:55,680
Speaker 1: tonight in trial or you would be liking the Raptors

1026
00:43:55,760 --> 00:43:59,400
Speaker 1: to do the what appeared to be impossible because no

1027
00:43:59,440 --> 00:43:59,880
Speaker 1: one had done it.

1028
00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:03,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's the thing. I mean, the Raptors winning

1029
00:44:03,440 --> 00:44:07,600
Speaker 3: without Fred on the road pretty convincingly and a long series.

1030
00:44:07,760 --> 00:44:11,200
Speaker 3: Embiid has started to show signs of fatigue. Certainly James

1031
00:44:11,280 --> 00:44:14,000
Speaker 3: Harden hasn't really his numbers are okay actually, but he

1032
00:44:14,080 --> 00:44:16,920
Speaker 3: hasn't had that impact that you expect. So they're right

1033
00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:18,920
Speaker 3: now relying again on on a Maxi to have a

1034
00:44:18,920 --> 00:44:21,600
Speaker 3: big performance. Had a huge game one remember ages ago

1035
00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:24,480
Speaker 3: he had the thirty eight points, and Tobias Harris and

1036
00:44:24,520 --> 00:44:26,600
Speaker 3: you know, there's just a couple of little like things

1037
00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:29,239
Speaker 3: that could really blow up in their face. I just

1038
00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:31,480
Speaker 3: hope as a basketball fan, I hope we get at

1039
00:44:31,560 --> 00:44:32,800
Speaker 3: least seven games of this series.

1040
00:44:33,360 --> 00:44:37,160
Speaker 1: I wonder what the story will be from Darklews this

1041
00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:38,680
Speaker 1: series in seven.

1042
00:44:38,760 --> 00:44:40,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's stable couldn't play half the games.

1043
00:44:41,120 --> 00:44:43,200
Speaker 1: A good point that'll be that bards in beads some

1044
00:44:43,640 --> 00:44:45,680
Speaker 1: some hurts. Yeah, we had the Haul Van Simmons thing

1045
00:44:45,680 --> 00:44:47,680
Speaker 1: at the start of the Seasonlee Distraction.

1046
00:44:49,440 --> 00:44:52,800
Speaker 2: Dark is Painting for the Deeds of Gordon Girichek Intercy

1047
00:44:52,840 --> 00:44:55,160
Speaker 2: Forgreedy was averaging thirty one a game in the series.

1048
00:44:56,680 --> 00:45:00,520
Speaker 2: What a Tim I don't know. There's a potential for

1049
00:45:00,560 --> 00:45:03,040
Speaker 2: a lot of slander on the internet tonight with regards

1050
00:45:03,040 --> 00:45:05,120
Speaker 2: to the two games we've got go with two of

1051
00:45:05,160 --> 00:45:06,960
Speaker 2: these games we got going, I kind of think we'll

1052
00:45:06,960 --> 00:45:08,600
Speaker 2: get into a little bit later. We got the Suns

1053
00:45:08,640 --> 00:45:11,960
Speaker 2: seems to be the most straightforward game, Sons versus Pelicans.

1054
00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:14,400
Speaker 2: But I mean, if the Jazz lose tonight, that'll be

1055
00:45:14,440 --> 00:45:16,600
Speaker 2: a dunk fest. And then obviously if the Rators pull

1056
00:45:16,600 --> 00:45:20,279
Speaker 2: off a win against the Six, that's gonna we're gonna

1057
00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:22,520
Speaker 2: be seeing a lot of Gordon dear check are seeing

1058
00:45:22,560 --> 00:45:23,640
Speaker 2: a lot of Drew Gooden.

1059
00:45:24,719 --> 00:45:26,920
Speaker 1: Well, keep going. Who else saw this team? This is great?

1060
00:45:27,480 --> 00:45:28,680
Speaker 2: Jacques Vaughan Q.

1061
00:45:29,080 --> 00:45:30,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a good one.

1062
00:45:30,320 --> 00:45:38,680
Speaker 2: Darryl Armstrong, no Doliac yet, Clark, Pat Garrity, Chris Whitney,

1063
00:45:38,760 --> 00:45:43,160
Speaker 2: Sean Kemp, Pat Burke, Stephen Hunter, and Jerald Sassar. I

1064
00:45:43,160 --> 00:45:44,440
Speaker 2: still got hope for Jerald Sasso.

1065
00:45:46,080 --> 00:45:50,160
Speaker 1: We put him in our Saint Patrick's Day parody video.

1066
00:45:50,280 --> 00:45:53,600
Speaker 1: That's right, All right, Well there's docs comments. Let's hear

1067
00:45:53,640 --> 00:45:56,560
Speaker 1: from you guys. Are we making a bigger deal out

1068
00:45:56,560 --> 00:45:58,960
Speaker 1: of it than we should be? Is he right? He's

1069
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:02,960
Speaker 1: just spitting back tell the whole story. Are you concerned

1070
00:46:02,960 --> 00:46:05,520
Speaker 1: that he's even talking about this like we just talked

1071
00:46:05,560 --> 00:46:07,319
Speaker 1: about and do you think the Raps can do the

1072
00:46:07,320 --> 00:46:10,320
Speaker 1: impossible here tonight at least force a game seven? Only?

1073
00:46:10,440 --> 00:46:14,160
Speaker 1: What three teams in history have even forced the game

1074
00:46:14,200 --> 00:46:15,799
Speaker 1: seven after going down three to zero? Yeah?

1075
00:46:15,800 --> 00:46:19,160
Speaker 3: Well, I know it's MAVs, mavsz Blazers, yea mass Blazer

1076
00:46:19,200 --> 00:46:20,000
Speaker 3: two thousand and four.

1077
00:46:20,040 --> 00:46:22,200
Speaker 1: I think it's three times in NBA history.

1078
00:46:22,200 --> 00:46:25,520
Speaker 3: I think there was a Rocket Suns game series two

1079
00:46:25,560 --> 00:46:28,080
Speaker 3: one of those years. I'd have to check, but I

1080
00:46:28,120 --> 00:46:28,799
Speaker 3: think it was one of those.

Speaker 1: tweeted to night and we will look ahead to those

1085
00:46:37,160 --> 00:46:41,480
Speaker 1: three game sixes. Don't go anywhere. Okay, So you did

1086
00:46:41,480 --> 00:46:43,800
Speaker 1: a little research, Yes, I did? Was I correct? Is

1087
00:46:43,840 --> 00:46:47,080
Speaker 1: it three teams in NBA history have come back from

1088
00:46:47,400 --> 00:46:49,520
Speaker 1: down three h to at least force a game seven? Yes?

1089
00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:52,480
Speaker 3: The big one, of course, was who could forget this one?

1090
00:46:52,520 --> 00:46:55,759
Speaker 3: The nineteen fifty one NBA Finals Rochester Royals and the

1091
00:46:55,760 --> 00:46:58,200
Speaker 3: New York Knicks. Yes, the Royals drop three to zero.

1092
00:46:59,239 --> 00:47:01,000
Speaker 3: The Knicks came back fourth to game seven, but the

1093
00:47:01,040 --> 00:47:03,120
Speaker 3: Royals went on to win it. Oh ye good serious,

1094
00:47:03,280 --> 00:47:05,480
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, only won by four points in game seven,

1095
00:47:05,560 --> 00:47:10,879
Speaker 3: seventy nine, seventy five. But the scoring the Blazers MAVs one.

1096
00:47:10,920 --> 00:47:12,680
Speaker 3: We did mention in two thousan Threeight. Now, this is

1097
00:47:12,680 --> 00:47:15,640
Speaker 3: where it does actually get crazy. Remember in nineteen ninety four,

1098
00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:18,000
Speaker 3: the Denver Nuggets came back from two to oh down

1099
00:47:18,120 --> 00:47:21,360
Speaker 3: against the Seattle SuperSonics in the first round, the number

1100
00:47:21,360 --> 00:47:25,040
Speaker 3: one Seattle SuperSonics and the number eight Nuggets. Now the

1101
00:47:25,080 --> 00:47:27,440
Speaker 3: Nuggets in the second round were down three to zero

1102
00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:30,520
Speaker 3: to the Utah Jazz and came back and forced a

1103
00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:33,200
Speaker 3: Game seven there, lost by ten in the end, but

1104
00:47:34,160 --> 00:47:37,640
Speaker 3: incredible in the back to back series the Nuggets, it

1105
00:47:37,800 --> 00:47:40,600
Speaker 3: nearly pulled off. Just the miracle there. So we've got

1106
00:47:40,600 --> 00:47:42,879
Speaker 3: that de ken be Mutumbo famous. You know, I wonder

1107
00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:44,360
Speaker 3: what he would have done in Utah if.

1108
00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:48,359
Speaker 1: That was the great question? Okay, so only three times. Yes,

1109
00:47:48,719 --> 00:47:51,160
Speaker 1: it was the nixt coming back against the Royals and

1110
00:47:51,400 --> 00:47:54,479
Speaker 1: fifty one finals. It was this one that you said

1111
00:47:54,800 --> 00:47:57,600
Speaker 1: ninety four. Then Nuggets versus the Jazz and then what

1112
00:47:57,680 --> 00:47:58,680
Speaker 1: was the one the most won?

1113
00:47:58,760 --> 00:47:59,760
Speaker 3: Three maps Blazers.

1114
00:48:00,200 --> 00:48:02,160

00:55:16,280 --> 00:55:19,000
Speaker 4: I can't see Coltrane in and none outfit that's the

1234
00:55:19,160 --> 00:55:21,680
Speaker 4: that's the thing. Let me look it up, let me look.

1235
00:55:21,600 --> 00:55:26,160
Speaker 1: It out, all right. What do you think I agree

1236
00:55:26,200 --> 00:55:28,520
Speaker 1: with him? Or are some of these endings tonight?

1237
00:55:28,920 --> 00:55:33,680
Speaker 2: Well call me Richie Benno, because I think what's I

1238
00:55:33,680 --> 00:55:34,560
Speaker 2: still don't know what I do?

1239
00:55:35,160 --> 00:55:38,000
Speaker 1: Just say you he doesn't know what you means, not

1240
00:55:38,040 --> 00:55:39,880
Speaker 1: at all. He doesn't want to you want to.

1241
00:55:40,440 --> 00:55:45,600
Speaker 2: I would rather keep saying Sons are gonna win. I think, uh,

1242
00:55:46,000 --> 00:55:49,080
Speaker 2: I think they're gonna hold off the New Orleans Pelicans tonight.

1243
00:55:49,120 --> 00:55:52,120
Speaker 2: It'll be tough one, uh there in New Orleans. But

1244
00:55:52,120 --> 00:55:55,120
Speaker 2: I'm looking forward to the slander like I don't know,

1245
00:55:55,200 --> 00:55:57,719
Speaker 2: I mean, the Sixers. It almost feels like at this

1246
00:55:57,760 --> 00:56:00,600
Speaker 2: point everybody's expecting the Raptors to win, which may good

1247
00:56:00,600 --> 00:56:03,640
Speaker 2: for the Sixers. There's almost no pressure on the Sixers,

1248
00:56:03,680 --> 00:56:05,600
Speaker 2: but there's also a ton of pressure on the Sixers.

1249
00:56:06,080 --> 00:56:08,000
Speaker 2: And I just wonder if the Jazz will have like

1250
00:56:08,120 --> 00:56:10,960
Speaker 2: one good game, like they like, get some three pointers up.

1251
00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:11,839
Speaker 1: You're playing at home.

1252
00:56:12,360 --> 00:56:15,520
Speaker 2: This should be the last stand of the Jazz at least.

1253
00:56:15,560 --> 00:56:17,200
Speaker 2: You know, the last time we saw him, they had

1254
00:56:17,200 --> 00:56:20,359
Speaker 2: the alley oop from Mitchell to Gobert the last time

1255
00:56:20,360 --> 00:56:22,239
Speaker 2: we saw him in Utah, So maybe they'll be able

1256
00:56:22,239 --> 00:56:24,600
Speaker 2: to channel that sort of energy as well. But if

1257
00:56:24,640 --> 00:56:25,600
Speaker 2: they lose, people are.

1258
00:56:25,480 --> 00:56:27,759
Speaker 1: Gonna be dunking all over them tonight, so that'd be cool. Yeah,

1259
00:56:28,080 --> 00:56:30,280
Speaker 1: I'm with him. I think we get two game seven's

1260
00:56:30,320 --> 00:56:32,520
Speaker 1: coming out of tonight. I think it's well, I'm hoping.

1261
00:56:32,520 --> 00:56:35,160
Speaker 1: I guess that the Raptors beat the Sixers at home

1262
00:56:35,360 --> 00:56:37,840
Speaker 1: because that that Arena is going to be going crazy,

1263
00:56:38,200 --> 00:56:41,000
Speaker 1: I would imagine. And then I think that the Jazz

1264
00:56:41,120 --> 00:56:43,640
Speaker 1: are gonna win here and give us a Game seven

1265
00:56:43,960 --> 00:56:46,840
Speaker 1: in Dallas. But I also think the Pelicans hell of

1266
00:56:46,880 --> 00:56:49,520
Speaker 1: a fight made it a series. Might be another competitive game,

1267
00:56:49,560 --> 00:56:52,080
Speaker 1: close game, but I think they'll pull it out. Do

1268
00:56:52,120 --> 00:56:53,799
Speaker 1: we know the status on Devin Booker two. I know

1269
00:56:53,880 --> 00:56:55,520
Speaker 1: it was a possibility.

1270
00:56:55,760 --> 00:56:57,440
Speaker 2: It was like yelling that he was going to bed.

1271
00:56:57,520 --> 00:57:01,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's that in play, but we'll see. But I

1272
00:57:01,080 --> 00:57:04,080
Speaker 1: have the Suns winning and the Raptors and Jazz giving

1273
00:57:04,160 --> 00:57:07,040
Speaker 1: us a game seven? What are you smiling and laughing about?

1274
00:57:07,360 --> 00:57:08,600
Speaker 1: And j D did you figure out.

1275
00:57:08,480 --> 00:57:12,960
Speaker 4: What conffirmed that Robbie Coltrane is in fact and Nuns

Speaker 1: the eighties.

Speaker 1: Yeah.

1285
00:57:37,160 --> 00:57:39,160
Speaker 2: I don't know Nuns on the Run or the names

1298
00:58:07,880 --> 00:58:11,440
Speaker 4: Great Yeah, I remember it being in the theater. I

1299
00:58:11,560 --> 00:58:15,760
Speaker 4: was nineteen probably I really enjoyed it.

1300
00:58:15,760 --> 00:58:17,960
Speaker 1: Okay, give me the synopsis that you can remember.

1301
00:58:18,080 --> 00:58:21,160
Speaker 3: Well, they're criminals, I think the bank robbers or something

1302
00:58:21,240 --> 00:58:24,200
Speaker 3: like that, and their disguise is to become nuns because

1303
00:58:24,240 --> 00:58:26,840
Speaker 3: obviously nuns are not considered to be criminals. But then

1304
00:58:26,840 --> 00:58:29,120
Speaker 3: they have to act as if they're women and not

1305
00:58:29,280 --> 00:58:33,200
Speaker 3: men and all the what are the nun nouns in training?

1306
00:58:33,240 --> 00:58:36,200
Speaker 3: I guess they're not suspicious of it at all, but

1307
00:58:36,240 --> 00:58:38,400
Speaker 3: they you know, their men and they go into like

1308
00:58:38,440 --> 00:58:41,200
Speaker 3: the change rooms and things like that pretending they're women.

1309
00:58:41,200 --> 00:58:44,640
Speaker 1: It's it's hilarious. It's got a lot of missus delfire too.

1310
00:58:44,880 --> 00:58:50,080
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, there's there's there's that poshures com session.
