Speaker 2: and the man making the magic happen as he does always,

Speaker 2: it's Jad. Hello, what's up? Jady? Lots to get to basketball,

12
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 2: I guess is the primary focus in the games. Two

13
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 2: games happened, Two games happen. They were blowed. So we'll

14
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 2: talk about other drama in basketball, like the Sixers stopping

15
00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 2: Knicks fans from entering their building tonight and get six

16
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 2: that's fun. Chris Finch is going to coach for the

17
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 2: Timberwolves in Denver. That is interesting where yes, yes, yes, yes, yes,

18
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 2: that is a great question. And we might get the

19
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 2: round ball rock back interesting stuff, But we'll start with

20
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 2: the basketball that happened yesterday. Even though it was a spanker,

21
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 2: I thought it was an interesting spanker that the Mavericks

22
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:25,400
Speaker 2: gave to the Clippers because Luca he had said in

23
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:27,760
Speaker 2: the shoot around, you know, I've got a knees brain,

24
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 2: I'm feeling a little ill. If this was the regular season,

25
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:34,839
Speaker 2: I wouldn't play, and then boom, monstrous game from Luca.

26
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 2: He was great, thirty five tennysis, seven rebounds, MAVs win

27
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:40,760
Speaker 2: by thirty. What'd you make of that game? Tray?

28
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:44,319
Speaker 3: Was it a ropodope in this interesting spanker? Was it

29
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 3: ape by Luca Dontre saying yeah, my leg hurts, I

30
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 3: can barely breathe, and then completely lighting up the Clippers.

31
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 3: This was great stuff from Luca. I thought he had

32
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 3: it all going basically except for the jumper. You know,

33
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 3: by my count, nine of eleven at the rim or

34
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 3: near only five of fifteen on jumpers. He only hit

35
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 3: a couple of threes two for eight. They came later

36
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 3: on in the game, but it didn't really matter because

37
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 3: he controlled the pace. He was picking his spots to

38
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 3: get downhill, and when he had an opportunity, he was

39
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 3: finishing in the lane. Obviously was dishing out for assists

40
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 3: as well, got a lot of those on three pointers,

41
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 3: and the MAVs just looked incredible in this one. It's

42
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 3: kind of similar, like Kyrie Irving had an awesome game

43
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 3: for scoring fourteen points and having six assists. Not huge

44
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 3: numbers at all for Kyrie, I didn't think, but he

45
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 3: moved the ball, he pushed the pace, and he was

46
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 3: really competing defensively against James Harden, who had an absolute stinker.

47
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,639
Speaker 3: The MAVs just got good production from basically everybody. Derek

48
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 3: Jones Junior did a really good job on Paul George,

49
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,920
Speaker 3: as did PJ. Washington. Peter didn't score very well at all,

50
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 3: but at least he was out there contributing. On the

51
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 3: other end, Maxi Kleba hit a whole bunch of threes

52
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 3: when the MAVs blew it open. Derek Lively was great.

53
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:52,359
Speaker 4: You know.

54
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 3: Daniel Gafford I thought was struggling at the beginning of

55
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 3: this game. Jason Kidd gives him the hook like three

56
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 3: minutes in. Yeah, just because he seemed to be losing

57
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 3: Zubots inside wasn't really rolling hard to the rim. Lively

58
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 3: comes in and as the exact opposite dunks on his

59
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 3: first possession. Basically that he was in there, made plays,

60
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 3: he was aggressive on the roles, and then Gaffard came

61
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 3: back and he looked smooth as well. This is just

62
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 3: an awesome win for the MAVs and honestly a big

63
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 3: time bummer for the Clippers. This could easily be their

64
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 3: last game playing in Crypto dot com arena, and they

65
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:26,239
Speaker 3: left no nothing interesting them.

66
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 5: No.

67
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 2: Paul George and James Harden combined to shoot six of

68
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:34,079
Speaker 2: twenty five and they didn't get help elsewhere. While all

69
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 2: those MAVs you mentioned you can go up and down

70
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 2: the roster, even if they didn't have spectacular lines, were

71
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 2: locked in. I think it was because Luca was so

72
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 2: locked in himself, especially defensively. He was just up on

73
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 2: every single possession. He was willing to guard, hardened. At times,

74
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 2: he was stonefaced. I felt like it felt like Lebron

75
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 2: stoneface to some degree. Sure, we saw it a little

76
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 2: earlier in this series where Luca did that. Usually he's

77
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 2: a pretty demonstrative guy. Now he did that a couple

78
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 2: of times, but he was attacking the entire game. You

79
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 2: said those nine shots from in Tight twelve of eighteen

80
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 2: on two pointers. It's just fantastic stuff. Even if he

81
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 2: wasn't spectacular from three point line. You saw in the

82
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 2: second quarter he went like end to end. At one

83
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 2: point he got a rebound and drove it all the

84
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 2: way to the rim. When do you see Luca do that?

85
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:23,479
Speaker 2: I mean they were playing fast, and maybe a couple

86
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:26,720
Speaker 2: of days helped Luca and his knee and his sickness,

87
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 2: or maybe it was a ropodope.

88
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 3: He was less limpy in this game than he was

89
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,279
Speaker 3: during Game four. Game four, I thought he was limping around.

90
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 3: So I was a little concerned coming into this one,

91
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:39,840
Speaker 3: especially he's talking beforehand. I probably wouldn't be playing had

92
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 3: it been a regular season game. Then you saw like

93
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 3: the crazy tape job they did on his leg. It

94
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:47,559
Speaker 3: looked like the symbiote from Venom or whatever.

95
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 2: Right that was that call jd Eddie Brock symbio.

96
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:51,799
Speaker 5: That is correct.

97
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like he gets taken over by the like the

98
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 3: black Good and it's all creeping up his body. That's

99
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 3: what looked like.

100
00:04:56,520 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe it works. Pronounce it. Yeah.

101
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:04,839
Speaker 3: I just read Zendaya and I still honestly don't know

102
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 3: which is the right one.

103
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 2: I know we need he's the.

104
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 3: Only one who does.

105
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 2: I saw I saw her in her photo of her

106
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,600
Speaker 2: and her new show, and I thought, whew, you and

107
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 2: you said it because I thought I knew Zendaya pretty sure.

108
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:19,479
Speaker 3: I think that's it.

109
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:23,480
Speaker 5: I think that's pretty sure Zenda. I don't know.

110
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,480
Speaker 2: Okay, it's like I said, simbaiode because I read it

111
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 2: that way, and I never heard people say there's no.

112
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,280
Speaker 3: Way to find out. We need somebody under thirty to

113
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:36,280
Speaker 3: let us pronounce Zendia or Zendaya, and same for Cymbia

114
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 3: and Symbia. But that's what it looked like on Luca's leg,

115
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 3: and apparently it works because he was awesome in this one,

116
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 3: and like you mentioned, he was giving it as all defensively,

117
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,840
Speaker 3: Kyrie Irving was diving on the floor in this one.

118
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:47,280
Speaker 3: He had to get called for a file, which maybe

119
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 3: he shouldn't have, but at least he's given the effort

120
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 3: out there. And really, the MAVs defense I thought was

121
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:55,039
Speaker 3: pretty special. And despite some good performances from Luca and

122
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 3: the role players and Kyrie doing the winning basketball kind

123
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,279
Speaker 3: of stuff, it was the defense that won the game

124
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:01,840
Speaker 3: for the MAVs. To me, they never allowed more than

125
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 3: twenty four points in a quarter, held the Clippers to

126
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 3: thirty eight percent from the field, only twenty six percent

127
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 3: from three four to thirteen turnovers. They were great at

128
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:14,480
Speaker 3: the rim, fourteen of thirty five field goals shooting at

129
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:16,279
Speaker 3: the rim for the Clippers. So that's why it was

130
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:18,719
Speaker 3: very weird to me that going into the fourth quarter,

131
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:21,600
Speaker 3: that's like a twenty point game. Tyler dusts off PJ.

132
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 2: Tucker.

133
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 3: You're down by twenty and you brought in PJ Tucker.

134
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 3: The guy scored like five points the whole year. That

135
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 3: didn't make sense to me, but he was just kind

136
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 3: of reaching for anybody who was going to bring some

137
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 3: energy in. PJ did. As soon as that guy came in.

138
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 3: I think five people fell on the floor.

139
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 2: As PJ. Tucker does.

140
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 3: That's right.

141
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 2: But the MAVs just had persistence from the first minute

142
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,040
Speaker 2: and they didn't stop. I mean, this wasn't a blow

143
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 2: game at the get go by anyways. It was single

144
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:50,479
Speaker 2: digits until right before halftime. It was I thought, just

145
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 2: the Luka effect. Everybody had to follow in line and

146
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,159
Speaker 2: literally we can go all the way up and down

147
00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 2: the roster. Gafford coming back, Derek Lively, that combo was awesome,

148
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 2: as you said, preventing shots at the rim. The team

149
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 2: had six blocks, the Clippers had zero, and you could

150
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 2: just look at Derek Lively that block on PG, recovering

151
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 2: on PG. I mean he had to work, he had

152
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 2: to work for that, and yet PJ Washington Garden hardened

153
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 2: that time he blocked him from behind another persistent block.

154
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 2: I love the DJJ, Derek Lively, Derek g Lively, Derek

155
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 2: Jones Junior with an awesome block on hard and he

156
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 2: starts sprinting and Luca somehow hits him with the beautiful pass.

157
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 2: I mean, all those guys were working, and James Harden

158
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 2: because of that defense, he didn't look like himself at all.

159
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 2: The floater was gone that we saw in Game four.

160
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 2: The maps were obviously ready for him, up and down

161
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 2: the roster, but it was odd to see all those

162
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 2: guys block him. I mean they were like the PJ.

163
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 2: Washington and Derek Jones Junior. They're blocking him. Luca took

164
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 2: a chance. I mean they didn't stop it again. You're right,

165
00:07:56,680 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 2: Tyler said, seven minutes left in the fourth quarter, that's

166
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 2: when he yanked. That's when he yanked in a playoff game.

167
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 2: You're seven minutes left. And that's because all those guys

168
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 2: we mentioned were ready, and the guys like James Harden

169
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 2: and Paul George, they did not look like themselves at

170
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 2: all in this game.

171
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, you could say that Harden looked like himself,

172
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 3: because when he has a great game, he might be

173
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 3: having a stinker.

174
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 2: That's a very good point.

175
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 3: Floater, A dropping a stinker thirty three points in the

176
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 3: game four win, seven points on two of twelve shooting

177
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 3: in game five here, that's just completely disappointing, but it's

178
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:35,960
Speaker 3: happened a lot of times. It's basically the exact same

179
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 3: script as the Sixers Celtics series last season, when he

180
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 3: was awesome in Game one and awesome in Game four

181
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:44,080
Speaker 3: and everything else was not there. But I mean, Paul

182
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:46,840
Speaker 3: George wasn't much better. Fifteen points on four of thirteen shooting.

183
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:48,840
Speaker 3: He did have eleven rebounds, so he was doing other

184
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:52,079
Speaker 3: stuff at least, but he just seemed to want to

185
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 3: get off the ball. I thought the same a Harden like,

186
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 3: they were good, you take away me, I'll just pass

187
00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 3: it to another guy. They'll figure it out. The other

188
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:00,960
Speaker 3: guy's never figured it out, because these are the two

189
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:02,680
Speaker 3: guys that are supposed to figure it out. This was

190
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 3: an absolute stink fest from the Clippers two best players.

191
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, you mentioned that the only guys you could really

192
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 2: have faith in on that in that starting line up

193
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:12,559
Speaker 2: for the Clippers or Terrence Man was pretty good, Zoo

194
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 2: Box was pretty good. That's why they yanked Daniel Gafford.

195
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 3: But yes, and I thought Norman Powell was hooping a

196
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 3: little bit last night.

197
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 2: He was in this super mode.

198
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, he made two guys touch mother Earth.

199
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:27,680
Speaker 3: As Reggie said, classic stuff.

200
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 2: The MAVs are just able to find guys up and

201
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 2: down this roster, like when you look at the guys,

202
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 2: the guys that we mentioned who contributed. Obviously they got PJ.

203
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 2: Washington and Daniel Gafford at the trade deadline. I didn't

204
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 2: know that this would work that well. I also didn't

205
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 2: know that Derrek Jodes Junior, signed as a minimum contract

206
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 2: would work this well. And he had told points three

207
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 2: blocks on this. In this game, they were all just

208
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:54,959
Speaker 2: ready to scrap around the guys to scrap around. As

209
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,079
Speaker 2: you said, Kyrie everything, I don't even believe that stat

210
00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:58,600
Speaker 2: line really because it just felt like he was so

211
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 2: good out there. And Lou obviously, and it is it

212
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 2: is the team that's up three to two that has

213
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 2: taken this pivotal lead here. It feels like they're not

214
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 2: going to give it up going back to Dallas, especially

215
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 2: when you got Kleba just banging home threes the way

216
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 2: he did. MAXI the reason why they got out to

217
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 2: that double digit lead was because really Maxy just started

218
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 2: shooting and he was on fire four threes in the

219
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 2: second quarter. It was five to seven from three. He's

220
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,560
Speaker 2: sixty percent from three in this series. When they went

221
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:30,079
Speaker 2: to the conference finals, he was important. He was forty

222
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 2: three percent from three in those three series, so that helps.

223
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 2: Even though he doesn't have to play a lot. He

224
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 2: just came out and played and the team hit fourteen threes.

225
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:39,320
Speaker 2: I don't know what to make of this stat that

226
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 2: it wrote down, but it looks important. The teams that

227
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 2: hit fourteen threes or more in this postseason are nineteen

228
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:47,959
Speaker 2: to zero so far.

229
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:50,959
Speaker 3: A huge number. I mean, fourteen is not huge. Yeah,

230
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,680
Speaker 3: I know, like you gotta shoot threes. Simply put, you

231
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:55,319
Speaker 3: have to shoot threes in the NBA. Right now, I

232
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 3: think the stats are like I don't know that teams

233
00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 3: are like twenty four and six when they make more

234
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 3: threes to the than their opponents in the playoffs so far.

235
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:04,199
Speaker 3: But it's also they're like twenty three and seven when

236
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 3: they just shoot more threes than your opponent. Even if

237
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 3: you can't shoot, just toss them up they might go in.

238
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, it didn't work for the Clippers in this one.

239
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 3: Obviously they had nothing. They had nothing in this game.

240
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 3: It was the first time that they've looked bad without

241
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:18,720
Speaker 3: Kawhi playing, because they've got their two wins when Kawhi

242
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:20,679
Speaker 3: was off the court, and the MAVs were like, maybe

243
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 3: we were game planning for him. Now that he's not there,

244
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 3: we're thrown off a little bit. That's certainly what they

245
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 3: said after Game one. And then Game four was the

246
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:28,960
Speaker 3: weird one up thirty one, blow it all, and then

247
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:30,840
Speaker 3: we come back hitting a whole bunch of floaters when

248
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:33,559
Speaker 3: Harden hadn't hit floaters all season. Now it looks fluky

249
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 3: in retrospect, but maybe they're able to get it back

250
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:39,560
Speaker 3: in game six, because the Clippers can obviously play better.

251
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 3: They played better a few times this series. They played

252
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:45,080
Speaker 3: better when they were in Dallas, just in general, and

253
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 3: you know it is game six. You gotta imagine they're

254
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 3: going to do their best, but you're rolling the dice

255
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 3: with James Harden in an elimination game.

256
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 2: Yes, and at home, as you said, could be their

257
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 2: last game in Crypto Arena. You'd think you'd get more

258
00:11:57,600 --> 00:11:59,320
Speaker 2: in a game that's supposed to be pivotal. And again,

259
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 2: the MAVs just didn't stop. But this was a single

260
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 2: digit game in the second quarter, and then they just

261
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 2: kept going and going and going and going.

262
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, this was the good game last night.

263
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was. Yeah, let's get to the game. Unless

264
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:12,200
Speaker 2: you have any other random notes from that one.

265
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 3: I did like Jamal Crawford on the broadcast on this one.

266
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:16,840
Speaker 2: I agree.

267
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 3: I don't remember what the move was, but it was

268
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 3: some Luka Doncic move where he said you move, I move,

269
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 3: I move, you move, just like that. I thought that

270
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 3: was nice. They rewracked the same highlight coming back from

271
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 3: the thing, and that's what he mentioned that it looked

272
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 3: like Luca was playing with his headphones in great line.

273
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 2: Yes, Yeah, the broadcast was definitely good. Jamal and Regu

274
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 2: we were clicking. They were going one to two in

275
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:40,439
Speaker 2: that game. In another game that was just a spanker

276
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:43,559
Speaker 2: right from the get go. Boston took care of Miami

277
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 2: in Game five. They crushed him. It was a thirty

278
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 2: four point win. If you told me it was fifty sixty,

279
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 2: I would have said, okay, I would have believed it,

280
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 2: just because they were in control from the get go

281
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:56,680
Speaker 2: in the first quarter. So they advanced a round two.

282
00:12:57,440 --> 00:12:59,840
Speaker 2: They were awaiting the winner of the Cavs Magic Series.

283
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 2: What to make from this Boston game where they clinched

284
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 2: it for to one over Miami.

285
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 3: Not a ton of takeaways in this one, but you

286
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 3: gotta tip your cap to the Celtics. They had the

287
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,720
Speaker 3: advantage in this one with all the injuries for the Heat.

288
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:16,080
Speaker 3: No Butler obviously, no Rosier obviously, but even losing Jim

289
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:18,440
Speaker 3: Hawks was like a big deal for Miami since he

290
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:20,959
Speaker 3: initiates so much offense for them with those other two guys.

291
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:24,839
Speaker 3: Mission So the Celtics went out, they saw the writing

292
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 3: on the wall. They took care of business. They get

293
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 3: to rest a little bit more. It doesn't mean that

294
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:30,959
Speaker 3: Christas Porzingis is coming back any quicker, but at least

295
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 3: you get to chill out a little bit and get

296
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:36,079
Speaker 3: preparing for the next series. Great stuff by the Celtics.

297
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 3: I think It just comes down to the Heat hit

298
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:40,959
Speaker 3: twenty three threes in their one win. In Game two,

299
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 3: they hit twenty three three pointers, a franchise record. In

300
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 3: the three games since, they hit a twenty one total,

301
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 3: including three for twenty nine last night. You can't win

302
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:51,839
Speaker 3: like that. So easy stuff for the Celtics, but they

303
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 3: made it easy on themselves, which I think is really cool.

304
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:57,320
Speaker 3: The other takeaway, I guess al Horford did fine, and

305
00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 3: the first center minutes went to Luke Cornett and he

306
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 3: did a really good job. I thought on bam Autemaio

307
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:05,720
Speaker 3: competing on the defensive end, and I assume maybe it'll

308
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:08,080
Speaker 3: be matchup dependent depending on if they played the Calves

309
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:11,079
Speaker 3: or the Magic in round two. Yeah, but it seems

310
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:13,840
Speaker 3: like Luke will probably get the first chance. It'd be

311
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 3: in the backup center.

312
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 2: And deservedly so. He has been good this year, even

313
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 2: though I couldn't stop talking about did you catch that? Yeah?

314
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 3: There was a little think floating.

315
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 2: You caught it. It was a quick, quick index to

316
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 2: some pinch that was very nice. Yesterday I was talking

317
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 2: about Savior Tillman and the acquisition because I loved watching

318
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 2: him play and he's just he's better than what people

319
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 2: think he is. And same goes for Luke Cornett in

320
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 2: all honestly, that block on out of Bio where he

321
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 2: just he manned him up, He's stoned him and was

322
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 2: able to block him. He was very talented. Is there

323
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 2: any other worries after watching Horford and Cornett go at

324
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 2: this one that Kristaps will be out could be for

325
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 2: the entire series of Round two, no matter who they play.

326
00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 3: It's hard to say. I mean, Bam is the only

327
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 3: guy that they the Heat have inside right now, and

328
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 3: he's not like a dominating, physical kind of player.

329
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 2: Yeah.

330
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 3: Always, I think that changes a little bit going forward

331
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:10,080
Speaker 3: because both the Calves and the Magic like to play

332
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 3: two bigs.

333
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 1: You know.

334
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 3: The Magic I think are a little bit more of

335
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 3: a physical, hardy, big guys team, whereas the Calves have

336
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 3: some tall, slender dudes. So obviously you would like to

337
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 3: have Porzingis back. But Horford I think can hang in

338
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 3: either one of those matchups as the starter. He'll have

339
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 3: to play more than twenty two minutes. Not every game

340
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 3: is going to be a blowout in that series. Well,

341
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 3: I don't know, maybe they will. One of those teams

342
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 3: can really score one hundred points consistently and the Celtics

343
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 3: score one hundred and fifteen at the drop of a hat,

344
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 3: So maybe they will be blowouts. But I thought Horford

345
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 3: acquitted himself pretty well. Eight points, six rebounds, three assists,

346
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 3: he hit a three. You know he's going to be

347
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 3: in the right place defensively, even if he's not necessarily

348
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 3: the rim protector he used to be or has the

349
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 3: height of a Porzingis, But at least in round two,

350
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 3: I think the Celtics should feel pretty confident that Horford

351
00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 3: can slap back to the way he was prior to

352
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 3: Porzingis coming around. He was the starter, he started a

353
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 3: ton of playoff series for the Celtics, so that should

354
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 3: be fine, yes.

355
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 2: And it is well that they literally have four centers

356
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 2: that can play now that mister Porzingis is out. You

357
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 2: can run Horford, you can run a little Cornett backup,

358
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 2: or you can run Xavier Telman. That is a lot

359
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 2: of strength there. So they Yes, they gave up the

360
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 2: one game where they weren't gritting now to the three

361
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 2: point shooters, and obviously the heat were just banging him home.

362
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 2: So I was expecting a little more from Tyler Hero yesterday,

363
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 2: considering they don't have Butler Rosier or Himan Hawkes. Unfortunately,

364
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 2: he had a bad one in this one. The Celtics

365
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 2: going directly at Tyler. Herroll. Possession after possession after possession

366
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 2: was pretty clear, and they were doing a good job

367
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 2: of that, whether it was Jalen Brown or sometimes you

368
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 2: get a big switch and having Hero on him. Anybody,

369
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 2: anybody was going at him, and I guess that's what

370
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 2: Tyler heroes got to do in the off seasons. Go

371
00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 2: get stronger if he can, because teams are going to

372
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 2: do that.

373
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:04,160
Speaker 3: Or go get traded. Why do you say that, because

374
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 3: what are the Heat doing here?

375
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:06,120
Speaker 2: Yeh? WHOA?

376
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 3: Well, they've been the eighth seed back to back years.

377
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:10,920
Speaker 3: That's not a way to live. Sometimes you get out

378
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:12,919
Speaker 3: of the playing tournament and go to the finals. Sometimes

379
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 3: you lose Jimmy Butler in the game, in the playing game,

380
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:18,879
Speaker 3: and that's why they couldn't compete in this series. The

381
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:20,399
Speaker 3: Heat is such a weird team too, because they got

382
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 3: a high payroll, but they're not top heavy, like they

383
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 3: lost Butler and they lost the series. It was that

384
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 3: easy because Hero is not consistent enough to be a

385
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:30,119
Speaker 3: takeover guy. He had an awesome Game two set his

386
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 3: career high for assists while was at fourteen. Yeah, he

387
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:34,720
Speaker 3: was looking incredible, and then the Celtics decided to really

388
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:37,359
Speaker 3: play defense going forward in Games three, four, and five.

389
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:41,439
Speaker 3: Bam a great second player, an awesome defensive player, but

390
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 3: not a takeover guy either. This is not what the

391
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:46,520
Speaker 3: Heat want to do. They don't want to be scrapping

392
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:48,679
Speaker 3: to even get into the playoffs and then have to

393
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 3: win on the road, win on the road, win on

394
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:53,200
Speaker 3: the road. They need to upgrade, especially Jimmy Butler is

395
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 3: getting older. He's gonna be a free agent after next season.

396
00:17:56,119 --> 00:18:00,160
Speaker 3: He's extension eligible. This season, they did make the finals TWI,

397
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:02,320
Speaker 3: but they weren't close to winning the finals either time.

398
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:05,960
Speaker 3: So I'm thinking something's got to change with Miami, and

399
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 3: you have to wonder if that means Hero will be

400
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 3: in trade talks once again. Hawk has had a good season,

401
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:12,720
Speaker 3: so people will be interested in him and Nicole Yovich,

402
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:15,639
Speaker 3: I think seems like he belongs at least he was

403
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:17,639
Speaker 3: able to stay on the court in this playoff series,

404
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:20,720
Speaker 3: So maybe that's another guy that people around the league

405
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 3: could be interested in as well. Because the Trailblazers weren't

406
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 3: last year, right They didn't want him back. They didn't

407
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:28,199
Speaker 3: want Hero and Yovich in the trade for Dame Lillard.

408
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:30,200
Speaker 3: So I don't know who it is, but Miami needs

409
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 3: to get somebody else, like they're playing Kevin Love big minutes. Yeah,

410
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 3: playing Patty Mills. They started Delon right. Doesn't make sense.

411
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:40,960
Speaker 2: No, they are an expensive team and pat Riley always

412
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 2: goes forward with the Miami Heat front office, so it's

413
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 2: difficult for the to see a world where they say, eh, Jimmy,

414
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:51,000
Speaker 2: I think it's time we're done. They just went after

415
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:54,680
Speaker 2: Terry Rozier, who unfortunately didn't play in this one. But yeah,

416
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:56,439
Speaker 2: this season was a roller coaster. They thought that they

417
00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:59,920
Speaker 2: could get Damian Lillard preseason and ended up being Terry Rozier.

418
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:02,680
Speaker 2: Jimmy Butler, as you said, he's gonna be thirty five

419
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:04,640
Speaker 2: in a few months. He only has one year left

420
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 2: on the contract. Thirty five, being a TIBs guy, seems

421
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 2: even older. He isn't able to play the entire season

422
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:14,960
Speaker 2: the last couple of years, so he is getting older.

423
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:18,200
Speaker 2: So it is interesting. You know, when they were in

424
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:20,960
Speaker 2: Game three and they had just tied up the series,

425
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 2: and he was interviewed by Chris Haynes. He basically said, look,

426
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 2: if this was in the first quarter. First quarter, he said,

427
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:29,240
Speaker 2: we're going up to one. We're going up to one tonight.

428
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:31,639
Speaker 2: So I wonder if he knows, if he knows that

429
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:33,359
Speaker 2: this is his last season with them. I mean, he

430
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:38,359
Speaker 2: basically is like, we gotta win, but something, something, yes,

431
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:40,160
Speaker 2: needs to be done. I just wonder if pat Ryley

432
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:42,919
Speaker 2: even is the kind of guy to say we're changing it,

433
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 2: or if they're gonna roll it back one more time.

434
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 2: But yes, they have changed. Yeah, no Heimahawk is in

435
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 2: this one. That'd hurt obviously delon Wright starting. So they

436
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 2: needed something from Hero, a lot from Hero, and that

437
00:19:57,600 --> 00:19:58,200
Speaker 2: didn't happen.

438
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:01,560
Speaker 3: Do you think Boston cares they play in the next round?

439
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:02,439
Speaker 3: Calves are magic?

440
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:07,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, good question. I doubt it. I doubt that they

441
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 2: really care. I guess there's the challenge of the Calves

442
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:14,439
Speaker 2: that Mitchell can go off, but they have Like I

443
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:17,240
Speaker 2: was looking at True Holiday, who had a bad series

444
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:21,880
Speaker 2: shooting the ball. He was literally, I think their sixth

445
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:26,439
Speaker 2: leading score. He will probably guard Donovan Mitchell at all times,

446
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 2: and that's why they got him. So I don't think

447
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:32,159
Speaker 2: that would be a problem. But I bring that up

448
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:35,920
Speaker 2: because it seems like the Calves have more offensive options

449
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 2: because to match this Boston team, you just gotta have

450
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:41,040
Speaker 2: guys that can score, and Drew can probably do a

451
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 2: good job on Donovan Mitchell. And you're beside Derek White,

452
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:49,480
Speaker 2: who is probably the most consistent Boston Celtic in this series.

453
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:51,160
Speaker 2: You can call him the best player. A stan Ban

454
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:54,359
Speaker 2: did it on the broadcast this day. Maybe so their Roland.

455
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 2: I don't think they really care all that much, is

456
00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:56,719
Speaker 2: what I'm getting at.

457
00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 3: I guess I'm with you. I think they will be

458
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 3: massive favorites in both of them. But the Magic have

459
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 3: played the Celtics pretty well the past couple of seasons.

460
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:05,680
Speaker 3: I think they took one win off him this year

461
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:08,400
Speaker 3: in three games, but they beat him three times last season. Obviously,

462
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 3: the Celtics have changed since then, and the Magic last

463
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:13,199
Speaker 3: year were like a thirty five win team. Would have

464
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:17,120
Speaker 3: been easy for the Celtics to overlook them. But Celtics

465
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:19,720
Speaker 3: should be favorites, I do believe in round two, regardless

466
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:20,440
Speaker 3: of who makes it up.

467
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 2: All right, before we move on to other things going

468
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:25,560
Speaker 2: on in the league, any random notes from this game

469
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:26,399
Speaker 2: that you want to get to.

470
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 3: I saw that the Celtics got dunks from Sam Hauser

471
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 3: and Luke Cornett in this one. That's how you know

472
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:35,480
Speaker 3: it's a blowout. Sam Hauser got a dunk in a

473
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:37,760
Speaker 3: half court set, Pump faked in the left corner and

474
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:40,040
Speaker 3: finished at the rim. He had more dunks than I

475
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:42,480
Speaker 3: was expecting this NBA season. I think he had nine

476
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:44,639
Speaker 3: this season. But the Celtics have had a lot of

477
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:46,439
Speaker 3: blowouts and a lot of space on the court, so

478
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 3: it makes sense.

479
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 2: That's a nice note. That's a nice random note.

480
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:51,480
Speaker 3: So a nice little note for you.

481
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:55,439
Speaker 2: Derek White hitting a basket and then almost doing like

482
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:57,919
Speaker 2: a John Cena sort of thing, looking at his right hand,

483
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:02,439
Speaker 2: right hand. He is right handed, so I found that funny.

484
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 3: Like, and he was after a dunk, I think right

485
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 3: like when he went down the lane. Oh, he was

486
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:07,919
Speaker 3: definitely looking at his hand and all the like. All

487
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 3: the bench was doing it as well.

488
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 2: Must be their thing, Must be their thing. Derek White

489
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:15,960
Speaker 2: was awesome in this series. Spectacular stuff from the Boston Celtics.

490
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:19,919
Speaker 2: All right, moving on, we got some news. I'm already

491
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:22,520
Speaker 2: calling it. The segment is is this news? But I'm

492
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 2: calling it's news. Let's get to it. Multiple topics. First

493
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:35,359
Speaker 2: one is from ESPN because Timberwlves head coach Chris Finch

494
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:38,399
Speaker 2: he was hit by Mike Conley at the end of

495
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:41,119
Speaker 2: the Timberwols series. There Booker hit him. Conley hit him.

496
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:42,760
Speaker 2: He went down, He was hurt. He had to have

497
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:46,879
Speaker 2: surgery on his knee. But potential good news here. He

498
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:50,200
Speaker 2: plans on traveling to Denver to be there for Game

499
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 2: one and likely be on the sideline if he can

500
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:57,320
Speaker 2: be in some sort of wheelchair where he can have

501
00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 2: a straightened leg because the leg has to be straightened.

502
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:02,920
Speaker 2: So interesting stuff. So is this news, Trey.

503
00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 3: You told me it's news, He said this segment, these

504
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 3: are all news, And I agree with you. This has

505
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 3: gotta have a little bit of impact, right, having your

506
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 3: coach be questionable for the game, not knowing really where

507
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 3: he's gonna sit. I think Mike and Nory is a

508
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 3: good coach. He's got the greatest one liners inside by

509
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:24,240
Speaker 3: an interview history like, there's compilations floating around on YouTube.

510
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:25,920
Speaker 3: They're very funny. He seems to be a good coach.

511
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:27,959
Speaker 3: I didn't know he was a baseball guy to begin with.

512
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,320
Speaker 3: There's a great article by John Krasinski up on the

513
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:33,720
Speaker 3: Athletic explaining like how he came up as a baseball

514
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:36,400
Speaker 3: guy and then he Butch Carter was like a family

515
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:38,520
Speaker 3: friend and hired him to the Raptors. He coached with

516
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:40,159
Speaker 3: the Raptors for a little bit, that went back to

517
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:42,960
Speaker 3: be a hitting coach in college, then back to the NBA.

518
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 3: A crazy stuff. But this team has been together two years.

519
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 3: The Timberwolves have basically, you know, with the in the

520
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:52,040
Speaker 3: go bet era, the staff, Chris Finch's staff, Mike and

521
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:54,800
Speaker 3: Nory a part of it, has basically been together three years.

522
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 3: So I think they will be able to figure things out.

523
00:23:57,040 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 3: But between the surgery, the recovery, figuring out where he's

524
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,440
Speaker 3: gonna sit, things are a little up in the air.

525
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:06,080
Speaker 3: I think for the Timberwolves, you would obviously rather have

526
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 3: your coach sidelines being able to talk normally, because they're

527
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:13,480
Speaker 3: saying they're considering seating configurations that would allow him to

528
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:15,080
Speaker 3: safely be on the bench, like you're saying needs to

529
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 3: have his leg extended, because it's not always safe on

530
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:20,399
Speaker 3: the sidelines, as Chris Finch found out. But if they

531
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 3: can't make that setup work, Finch would likely join the

532
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 3: team in the locker room for pregame and halftime meetings

533
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 3: and watch the action from above in a suite. He

534
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 3: said he didn't want to be texting thoughts. Yeah, down

535
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:34,960
Speaker 3: from above, down to below to the sideline, So you're

536
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:37,639
Speaker 3: not getting your coach's insights except for at the beginning

537
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:39,399
Speaker 3: of the game and at the middle of the game. Yeah,

538
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 3: that could be tough in a series that's obviously going

539
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:43,240
Speaker 3: to be pretty close with the Nuggets.

540
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, when you say it that way, sounds like an

541
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:49,840
Speaker 2: NFL game where you've got the defensive coordinator up in

542
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:52,200
Speaker 2: the press room talking to the head coach or talking

543
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 2: to the QB. I wonder if that happens in the NBA.

544
00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:59,359
Speaker 2: Probably not, not in this instance, But I did like

545
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:01,959
Speaker 2: seeing what Mike Conley said. He said, you know, if

546
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 2: Mike and Norrey has to take over, he's different than

547
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:10,920
Speaker 2: Chris Finch's a little bit more funny and a different personality.

548
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:13,479
Speaker 2: So they would definitely respect Mike and Norry as we

549
00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 2: all do. If we watch a Timberwolves game and see

550
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 2: him do the halftime interview. Quite often you get the

551
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:22,920
Speaker 2: assistant coach being interviewed by the sideline reporter, and he's

552
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 2: a funny guy. Butch Carter. I didn't realize that it

553
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 2: was Butch Carter who brought him in. Maybe Mike Andry

554
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 2: will bring back Butch Carter from his rap stays he

555
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:33,200
Speaker 2: gets to bring a coach with him, Yeah, because he

556
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 2: like that. He hasn't coached since the Raptors for like

557
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:42,440
Speaker 2: twenty years. I think. All right, next topic from CNBC.

558
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 2: This is interesting. NBC Sports could buy back rights to

559
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:50,560
Speaker 2: the theme song we all know, round Ball Rock if

560
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:55,520
Speaker 2: it airs NBA games again. According to composer John ten

561
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:03,680
Speaker 2: John Tasha himself, yes he is pumped. Oh yeah, yes,

562
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 2: oh yeah he is. So this has got to be news,

563
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:08,320
Speaker 2: I imagine. I mean, it's not news because it's not news.

564
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:10,160
Speaker 2: I don't know. Yah, that's what might not be news,

565
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:10,960
Speaker 2: but it could be.

566
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:15,120
Speaker 3: This is two steps removed from news because first NBC

567
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:16,720
Speaker 3: has to get the contract and then they have to

568
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 3: pay for round Ball Rock. And if NBC were to

569
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:22,240
Speaker 3: get it, they absolutely have to do this right like

570
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:24,400
Speaker 3: nobody wants. That's like one of the things people are

571
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:27,520
Speaker 3: most excited about NBC getting back into the rights game

572
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:31,000
Speaker 3: for the NBA is possibly playing round Ball Rock. But

573
00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:33,679
Speaker 3: it made me think, why does some Warner Brothers just

574
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 3: buy it. He's obviously willing to sell the rights to

575
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:40,159
Speaker 3: it to anybody. Fox has it for college basketball. You

576
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:42,800
Speaker 3: see it in Kevin Hart commercial right now. Yeah, I

577
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:45,680
Speaker 3: know they have their own music. I know him man,

578
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:49,240
Speaker 3: he's a very nice man. That's the Turner one or

579
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:50,200
Speaker 3: the Warner Brothers one.

580
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:52,720
Speaker 2: Well, there's one better, the one you just said, round

581
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:54,880
Speaker 2: Ball Rock, Like, why wouldn't you get round Ball Rock?

582
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:56,320
Speaker 3: Why wouldn't you get round Ball Rock?

583
00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:59,480
Speaker 2: He's gotta sell it. Yes, I'm looking forward to hearing

584
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:01,920
Speaker 2: it again. You're right. It would be like Hockey Night

585
00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:06,359
Speaker 2: in Canada. They sold their rights to the Hockey Night

586
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 2: in Canada theme song. As soon as sports Nut took over,

587
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:12,840
Speaker 2: they went and got the rights. That's the move here,

588
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:15,000
Speaker 2: that's the move. Yeah. And John Tush, I'm sure would

589
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:18,680
Speaker 2: sell it. I imagine I think he's in Yeah. You why

590
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:22,160
Speaker 2: I wouldn't the Yeah, I guess that's why he brought

591
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:25,199
Speaker 2: it up that he said, if NBC comes back and

592
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 2: gets it all, sell it to them or does he

593
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:29,600
Speaker 2: selling it or he's just getting their license it?

594
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:30,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, he does what the deal is?

595
00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:34,920
Speaker 5: Well, if NBC, I can't believe that NBC don't hold

596
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:38,240
Speaker 5: the rights for it, like, yeah, no, hey, here's five

597
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:44,679
Speaker 5: hundred bucks unknown John tesh Well, well, he's hosting entertainment tonight.

598
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:47,080
Speaker 5: At the time, it wasn't really known for being a

599
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:50,920
Speaker 5: new age composer. So I can't believe that they don't

600
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:51,880
Speaker 5: already own the rights.

601
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:53,960
Speaker 2: That's crazy that you're saying they can just go to

602
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:57,560
Speaker 2: any musician and just copy the round Ball Rock. Can't

603
00:27:57,600 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 2: do that.

604
00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:00,600
Speaker 5: You can't copy it. But they should have bought it

605
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:04,800
Speaker 5: out right at the beginning. Yes, absolutely, but hey, good

606
00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 5: for good for Teshie.

607
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:09,960
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, that's a big win for tesh here, big win.

608
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 3: I agree.

609
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:13,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the theme song that I remember over all

610
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 2: these other ones that have been playing forever. So good stuff,

611
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 2: tes all right.

612
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:21,480
Speaker 3: I also think that we're NBC to get it. Another

613
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:25,400
Speaker 3: cool part of their broadcast was Bob Costas like giving

614
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 3: you a trailer for the game. You know, it's like, okay,

615
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 3: we got the Knicks playing the Bulls. Little kids when

616
00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:32,399
Speaker 3: they go outside they play basketball, they pretend to be

617
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:35,240
Speaker 3: Michael Jordan. Beautiful twinkling pianos in the background.

618
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:36,160
Speaker 2: Bring that back.

619
00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:37,520
Speaker 3: I guess you're fired up for a game.

620
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:41,040
Speaker 2: Nice stuff. You're making news here. Yeah, that would be

621
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:42,680
Speaker 2: a good way to start broadcasting.

622
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:43,640
Speaker 3: It's a few notes here.

623
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:47,160
Speaker 2: Matt Ishbia had some notes. Our next topic is from

624
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:50,480
Speaker 2: the Athletic about Sun's owner Matt Ishbia, who met with

625
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:53,840
Speaker 2: the media. He said, we're not in a good position.

626
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:56,840
Speaker 2: We're in a great position, even though they just got

627
00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:59,320
Speaker 2: swept in the playoffs by the Minnesota Timberwolves. He said

628
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 2: twenty sixteen would trade for our situation. And the interesting

629
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:06,760
Speaker 2: part he said he'll meet with Frank Vogel next week.

630
00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:09,480
Speaker 2: He didn't ensure that Frank Vogel would be back. He

631
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:12,160
Speaker 2: also didn't say he would be fired. So is this

632
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:13,280
Speaker 2: meeting news?

633
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:16,920
Speaker 3: I think this is news. The twenty six teams definitely

634
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:20,680
Speaker 3: caught me off guard because there's after this round, there

635
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:22,520
Speaker 3: will be eight teams left in the playoffs, so like

636
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:25,800
Speaker 3: math wise, to me, twenty two would be the maximum.

637
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:30,240
Speaker 3: You know, yeah, personally, I don't know. But the Suns

638
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:32,880
Speaker 3: they did win forty nine games, they finished ninth and

639
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 3: net rating.

640
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:34,240
Speaker 2: It's just the.

641
00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 3: Fact that they have all stars at the top of

642
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:39,000
Speaker 3: their roster that this looks like a disappointment, and of

643
00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 3: course getting swept in the playoffs, it's hard to be

644
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:44,520
Speaker 3: encouraged after that season, even if you had an okay

645
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:47,320
Speaker 3: regular season where you can make some excuses about health.

646
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:49,760
Speaker 3: Though I ran down how everybody's have basically their healthiest

647
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:52,280
Speaker 3: season in five years on Yesterday or a couple of

648
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:52,800
Speaker 3: days shows.

649
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:53,560
Speaker 2: But that's your point.

650
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:57,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess I don't know. The vocal question is

651
00:29:57,280 --> 00:29:59,640
Speaker 3: is the first question I imagine will be addressed for

652
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:02,920
Speaker 3: the so after they do all these exit interviews and stuff,

653
00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:05,280
Speaker 3: and maybe they're probably they're waiting to see how things

654
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 3: go in the Clippers Mavericks series, because when I'm looking

655
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 3: at coaches who are available, Tylu is going to be

656
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:14,000
Speaker 3: the guy that everybody wants if he actually becomes available

657
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:16,480
Speaker 3: during the summer. I think that could include the Lakers

658
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 3: if they move on from Darvin Ham because he's got

659
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:22,080
Speaker 3: that relationship with Lebron from the Cleveland days. It could

660
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:25,160
Speaker 3: certainly be the Suns as well, because Lou is known

661
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:27,960
Speaker 3: as an adjustments guy and as a relationships guy, which

662
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:30,680
Speaker 3: is two things that the Sons would absolutely need. After that,

663
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:34,960
Speaker 3: it's like Mike Budenholzer. Maybe maybe that could be somebody

664
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:38,600
Speaker 3: that entices the Sons, though he's not necessarily known as

665
00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 3: a creative offensive coach was I think they certainly needed

666
00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:45,560
Speaker 3: because the defense showed up after Frank Vogel took over here.

667
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:48,680
Speaker 3: Other than that, it's like assistance, though the Sons are

668
00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 3: losing one of their assistants to Brigham Young. Mike D'Antoni

669
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:53,400
Speaker 3: is like a name that I always think of as

670
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:55,400
Speaker 3: a coach who's available. That guys seventy two years old

671
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:58,000
Speaker 3: right now. Can't imagine Kevin Durant playing in a seven

672
00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:00,840
Speaker 3: seconds or less system, really, So I don't know that

673
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:03,440
Speaker 3: there are a lot better coaches out there than Frank

674
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:05,760
Speaker 3: Vogel for a team that's trying to win a championship,

675
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:07,640
Speaker 3: and when your payroll is this high, you're obviously trying

676
00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:11,120
Speaker 3: to win a championship. So maybe Vogel sticks around. But

677
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:13,760
Speaker 3: the team is hard to change because of the payroll.

678
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:16,520
Speaker 3: Because of the second apron coming into effect, the team

679
00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:19,720
Speaker 3: building just becomes a lot harder. So the Suns have

680
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 3: a lot of decisions to make here, and their owner

681
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:24,800
Speaker 3: is saying they're pretty confident and where they're at. You

682
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:26,840
Speaker 3: do have three stars at the top. That's a good

683
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:29,000
Speaker 3: place to start. It'd be nice if they fit better,

684
00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:30,480
Speaker 3: if you could add pieces to it.

685
00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:33,640
Speaker 2: Though, yeah, and he was saying as as you mentioned

686
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:36,320
Speaker 2: that twenty six teams would want their position. He also

687
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:38,360
Speaker 2: was very clear as to what they have to trade.

688
00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:41,760
Speaker 2: He said they have five trades excuse me, five draft

689
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 2: picks over the next eight seasons that we could trade

690
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:53,240
Speaker 2: that could enhance their ability to help out their entire roster.

691
00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:55,680
Speaker 2: But he basically said we're coming back with the same

692
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:58,360
Speaker 2: team in a way. But he also said, do we

693
00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:00,600
Speaker 2: have enough continuity? There's a lot of things we can

694
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:02,960
Speaker 2: look at. Do we have the right leadership in place?

695
00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 2: Is that a coach reference? I'm not sure, or are

696
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:11,000
Speaker 2: they trying to go get somebody else in the locker room,

697
00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:13,520
Speaker 2: which kind of contradicts him saying we're running with the

698
00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:16,920
Speaker 2: same starting five again. Now these are all just words.

699
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:19,200
Speaker 2: Maybe he wants to break up the starting five or

700
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:22,880
Speaker 2: trade somebody, like, you know, one of the fourth or

701
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:26,400
Speaker 2: fifth guys rather than beal Booker and Durant. Maybe trading

702
00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 2: Grayson Allen for a guy who's incredible on the defense,

703
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:30,840
Speaker 2: can handle the ball a little bit more, just to

704
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:32,960
Speaker 2: give him a different attitude. Because he did say do

705
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:36,120
Speaker 2: we have the right leadership in place? I did find

706
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 2: not only his interview interesting as far as what he

707
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:42,360
Speaker 2: was saying, but also James Jones, who's in their front office.

708
00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:45,520
Speaker 2: He said, quote, I actually think chemistry is built through fire,

709
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:49,720
Speaker 2: so maybe the fire of them getting swept helps, you know.

710
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:53,200
Speaker 2: Bradley Beal was the only guy who's really talked so far,

711
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:55,640
Speaker 2: although is going to talk to a bunch of them

712
00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:58,920
Speaker 2: next week. He said, you know, we just haven't played

713
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:01,719
Speaker 2: enough together, basically is what he says. So maybe they

714
00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:03,000
Speaker 2: come back for next season.

715
00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:05,760
Speaker 3: And maybe they're able to get better guys on veteran

716
00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:08,160
Speaker 3: minimums this year. You know, that kind of happens when

717
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:12,280
Speaker 3: teams get thrown together super team style and the first

718
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:14,000
Speaker 3: year it's like, we've got the guys that are here.

719
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:16,760
Speaker 3: We've got the guys we can scramble and get. After

720
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:19,240
Speaker 3: the first year, maybe you look at the Suns and

721
00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 3: you're like, okay, I can talk myself into trying to

722
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:23,959
Speaker 3: chase the championship there, and you get some better veteran

723
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:26,400
Speaker 3: minimum players, yeah, rather than guys who are like the

724
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:27,720
Speaker 3: tenth man for the Kings.

725
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:31,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, who they're trying to put around. You know, the

726
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:34,480
Speaker 2: big three in Nurkic was a guy like Josha Kogi,

727
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:36,840
Speaker 2: a guy who can play defense. But we just talked

728
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:39,040
Speaker 2: about Derek Jones junior with the Dallas Mavericks, who was

729
00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:42,680
Speaker 2: signed on a minimum and you know, a decent three

730
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:44,760
Speaker 2: point shooter this season, not great, but decent three point

731
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:46,960
Speaker 2: shooter and can play defense. So you're right, somebody a

732
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:49,520
Speaker 2: little bit better on the on the minimum contract side.

733
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:53,040
Speaker 2: All right, last topic here, The seventy six ers are

734
00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:57,080
Speaker 2: stopping Knicks fans from controlling their building, if you want

735
00:33:57,120 --> 00:33:59,960
Speaker 2: to put it that way. Michael Rubin tweeted, Josh Air,

736
00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:03,160
Speaker 2: David Blitzer, David Adelman, and I just bought more than

737
00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:07,240
Speaker 2: two thousand tickets for six Ers Game six. We absolutely

738
00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:11,719
Speaker 2: cannot let Knicks fans take over our arena again. Is

739
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:13,040
Speaker 2: this news? This is news.

740
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:15,560
Speaker 3: This is good news and funny news that they've had

741
00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:17,640
Speaker 3: to go out and get two thousand tickets. That's ten

742
00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:20,160
Speaker 3: percent basically of the Wells Fargo Arena. I guess they

743
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:22,719
Speaker 3: have twenty one thousand seats, so ten percent of those

744
00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:25,520
Speaker 3: tickets basically are going to working class Philadelphians. That's all right,

745
00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:27,839
Speaker 3: gonna tip the scales a little bit. Maybe it'll only

746
00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:31,320
Speaker 3: be sixty forty Philly fans to Nick fans because obviously

747
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:33,200
Speaker 3: Knicks fans are still gonna go to the game. They're

748
00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:35,560
Speaker 3: still gonna be able to get some of these tickets

749
00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:39,040
Speaker 3: on the secondary market because they're much cheaper than they

750
00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:42,080
Speaker 3: are to go to a Game seven at Madison Square Garden.

751
00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:44,920
Speaker 3: I think this is smart of the Philly leadership to

752
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:48,040
Speaker 3: do this after Joel Embiid called them out, and you know,

753
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:50,040
Speaker 3: you do want to have a home court advantage when

754
00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:52,360
Speaker 3: you're playing at home. You don't want to have the

755
00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:56,000
Speaker 3: other team be dissing your MVP and bigging up their

756
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 3: own MVPs celebrating in your concourse. There still will be

757
00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:02,120
Speaker 3: a lot of Nick fans there though, but at least

758
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:05,279
Speaker 3: this should be it should be more Philly focused. I

759
00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:06,480
Speaker 3: would have to imagine.

760
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:09,719
Speaker 2: I guess when you look at it, it's slightly disappointing

761
00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:12,760
Speaker 2: that he has to go by two thousand seats from.

762
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:16,600
Speaker 3: Okay, fair point, there was two thousand tickets available exactly.

763
00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:19,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a little scary. It's weird. That is weird,

764
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:22,279
Speaker 2: And Knicks fans will be there still tonight. It's a

765
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:25,759
Speaker 2: late start for everybody going into that building, a nine

766
00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:29,279
Speaker 2: local start, but it is a good sign. It is

767
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:33,919
Speaker 2: a good move for them, DBD if they actually see

768
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:37,320
Speaker 2: a game wing a game where the Sixers are able

769
00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:41,120
Speaker 2: to survive here, because they almost didn't. It was super close,

770
00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 2: and I believe the Knicks will be fighting in Philadelphia

771
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:48,560
Speaker 2: after kind of giving that game away in game five.

772
00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:50,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was a wild ending. I've got my eyes

773
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:53,200
Speaker 3: on you. Joel Embiid needs to have a good game tonight.

774
00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:55,040
Speaker 3: I give him a lot of props. This dude is

775
00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:59,239
Speaker 3: playing through an injury. He obviously came back. Six Ers

776
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:01,560
Speaker 3: went eight no to and the season he even got

777
00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:03,200
Speaker 3: him into the play in tournament, got him in a

778
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:06,239
Speaker 3: nice spot to get to the seventh seed here, had

779
00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:09,759
Speaker 3: a fifty point game after some flagrant fouling out there,

780
00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:13,439
Speaker 3: but he basically got saved by Tyrese Maxi in game five.

781
00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:15,839
Speaker 3: Because if Embiid had the stinker a nine turnover game

782
00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:19,239
Speaker 3: that he did and the Sixers got eliminated, you're not

783
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:21,480
Speaker 3: looking as favorably on the way he's been a warrior

784
00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:24,560
Speaker 3: playing through these injuries, the bells, palsy, the symptoms from that,

785
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:27,399
Speaker 3: including the migrant that he had prior to game five.

786
00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:30,239
Speaker 3: So I think after calling out the fans in game

787
00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:32,760
Speaker 3: four and then not having a great game in Game five.

788
00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:35,839
Speaker 3: It's a big one for Joel Embiid and they need

789
00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:39,120
Speaker 3: him to be good to win, to win this and

790
00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:40,480
Speaker 3: maybe force a game seven.

791
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:42,680
Speaker 2: You're right when you look at the stats, and yes,

792
00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:44,960
Speaker 2: he put up a fifty spot when he had not

793
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:47,799
Speaker 2: only the free throws come in, but also the three

794
00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:51,640
Speaker 2: pointers were banging home. Otherwise, he hasn't shot the ball

795
00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:54,400
Speaker 2: all that well. He did have pretty decent shooting night

796
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:56,400
Speaker 2: in Game two, but as far as three balls go,

797
00:36:56,560 --> 00:36:58,360
Speaker 2: that was the only game where he shot it well.

798
00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:01,000
Speaker 2: And yeah, he has to overcome, you know, a decent

799
00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:04,360
Speaker 2: amount as you said, everything that he is overcoming, but

800
00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:09,480
Speaker 2: he needs to play better. Tyres Maxie definitely bailed him out.

801
00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:14,840
Speaker 2: And maybe we see Tobias Harris shoot beyond the first

802
00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:16,799
Speaker 2: few minutes of the game like he like, like he

803
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:17,400
Speaker 2: likes to do.

804
00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:19,160
Speaker 3: He's a first quarter killer right now.

805
00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:22,120
Speaker 2: And they need something and we need something for this

806
00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:24,240
Speaker 2: show because it was a light show in the NBA.

807
00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:26,840
Speaker 2: I'm just trying to make a transition to your great

808
00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:29,279
Speaker 2: questions you sent in. Let's get to one of them.

809
00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:30,920
Speaker 2: Let's hit that beach.

810
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:35,520
Speaker 3: Bucket count.

811
00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:47,040
Speaker 2: You got that shit shut down, got that special well,

812
00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:49,040
Speaker 2: let's hit that beach before we get to tweet of

813
00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:50,799
Speaker 2: the night. We'll get to one of them, even though

814
00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:53,319
Speaker 2: you guys sent in a bunch, because I'm interested to

815
00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:56,239
Speaker 2: hear your take on this one. What your answer is

816
00:37:56,239 --> 00:37:59,200
Speaker 2: for this one? Knicks fan here, what is the worst

817
00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:03,040
Speaker 2: loss you've all suffered as a fan? That comes from

818
00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:08,000
Speaker 2: b Ball God's block blog another block, b Ball God's blog.

819
00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:11,759
Speaker 3: That's hard to say, blah blohs long blog. B Ball

820
00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:14,520
Speaker 3: God's blog. A man, you can tell it's a light

821
00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:17,520
Speaker 3: night in the NBA because we're playing every intro we got. Yeah,

822
00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:19,960
Speaker 3: definitely a lot of segments going on here.

823
00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:21,600
Speaker 2: And we got some more clips coming.

824
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:23,960
Speaker 3: One question, I got two answers for you because my

825
00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:26,839
Speaker 3: worst loss was a win. April twenty eight to twenty twelve,

826
00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:29,200
Speaker 3: the Bulls beat the Philadelphia seventy six ers in Game

827
00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:32,080
Speaker 3: one of the first round. Right, but with a minute

828
00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:34,879
Speaker 3: and twenty two left the Bulls up twelve, Derek Rose

829
00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:36,920
Speaker 3: blew out his knee. I was watching a six to

830
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:39,360
Speaker 3: eight Fleet Street. I'll never forget it. Bulls had the

831
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:42,560
Speaker 3: best record in the NBA that season and the season prior.

832
00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:46,800
Speaker 3: This was Jimmy Butler's rookie year. Instead, Derek Rose blows

833
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:48,799
Speaker 3: out his knee. The Bulls lose that eight to one

834
00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:52,160
Speaker 3: series to the Sixers. Rose sat out the whole next season,

835
00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:55,040
Speaker 3: played ten games in the twenty thirteen to fourteen season,

836
00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:57,759
Speaker 3: then Torres Meniscus, who was out for the year. Like

837
00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:01,880
Speaker 3: April twenty eighth, twenty twelve was when the Bulls championship

838
00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:05,840
Speaker 3: chances really ended after the dynasty era, and that's the

839
00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:09,000
Speaker 3: only time they've really been in the mix at all

840
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:12,560
Speaker 3: since nineteen ninety eight. So yeah, that was a huge

841
00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:15,120
Speaker 3: loss for me, even the Bulls, though the Bulls did

842
00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:16,480
Speaker 3: go on to win that year. Can you imagine if

843
00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:19,520
Speaker 3: Dereck Rose and Jimmy Butler actually got to grow together

844
00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:22,200
Speaker 3: and play together that backcourt would have been incredible Because

845
00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:24,960
Speaker 3: the way it happened was Rose was the youngest MVP

846
00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:28,160
Speaker 3: in league history. He was obviously the face of the franchise,

847
00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:31,040
Speaker 3: being a Chicago guy there great player, but when when

848
00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:34,200
Speaker 3: he hurt, When he got hurt, Jimmy Butler really ascended.

849
00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:36,879
Speaker 3: He became a great player for the Chicago Bulls. When

850
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:38,879
Speaker 3: Rose came back, he wanted to be the same old

851
00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:41,000
Speaker 3: Rose that he always was. The Jimmy Butler's like, no,

852
00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:43,640
Speaker 3: I'm the man now. It didn't work out between the

853
00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:45,320
Speaker 3: two of them, But what if they were actually able

854
00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:49,160
Speaker 3: to be on a path together. Bumber stuff, bumber stuff.

855
00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:52,400
Speaker 3: My worst actual loss the game that was lost. April

856
00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:55,839
Speaker 3: twenty second, twenty twenty two. I flew home to see

857
00:39:55,840 --> 00:39:59,239
Speaker 3: the Bulls first home playoff game in five years, and

858
00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:02,760
Speaker 3: they lost by thirty to the Milwaukee Bucks. Worst Bulls

859
00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:07,640
Speaker 3: home playoff loss ever, literally their worst playoff game, and

860
00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:11,279
Speaker 3: it cost me several hundred dollars to even watch it.

861
00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:14,359
Speaker 3: But I'll never forget you. Tony Bradley ten points, five

862
00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:17,600
Speaker 3: for five from the field, plus five in the last

863
00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:19,840
Speaker 3: six minutes of the fourth quarter. Yeah, we stayed the

864
00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:20,319
Speaker 3: whole time.

865
00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:21,439
Speaker 2: Test is garbage time.

866
00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:25,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, garbage time, Tony, Tony Bradley. He should have started.

867
00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:29,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, they couldn't handle him. That was That was a

868
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:32,080
Speaker 2: series of first round series where he gets spanked by thirty.

869
00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:35,080
Speaker 3: It was bad too, because like the Bulls won Game

870
00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:37,520
Speaker 3: two in Milwaukee, they hadn't won a game in Milwaukee.

871
00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:41,480
Speaker 3: I think since Yiannis had like become Giannis, they actually

872
00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:43,200
Speaker 3: knocked him off in Game two. I think de Rozan

873
00:40:43,239 --> 00:40:45,880
Speaker 3: had forty one points. Chris Middleton got hurt in that

874
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:49,279
Speaker 3: game too, so people are like, ooh, the Bulls have

875
00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:52,439
Speaker 3: a chance here. They didn't have a chance. I lost

876
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:53,839
Speaker 3: by thirty. It was bad.

877
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:54,520
Speaker 2: It was bad.

878
00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:56,359
Speaker 3: I got on the Jumbo tront though. That was pretty cool.

879
00:40:56,400 --> 00:40:56,960
Speaker 2: Well, that was cool.

880
00:40:57,080 --> 00:40:58,839
Speaker 3: That was awesome. We're all like, so, yeah, look there

881
00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:00,279
Speaker 3: we are. And then we looked down at this The

882
00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:02,280
Speaker 3: balls were down by nine in the first like three minutes.

883
00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:04,720
Speaker 3: Uh oh, this could get bad. It got worse.

884
00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:07,360
Speaker 2: I thought you might turn it around there.

885
00:41:07,239 --> 00:41:10,520
Speaker 3: And now the peak getting to the game, seeing us

886
00:41:10,560 --> 00:41:13,239
Speaker 3: on the jumbo Tron, the final forty minutes were tough.

887
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:17,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, mine's sort of related in that it's completely biased

888
00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:20,680
Speaker 2: as well. We were all at Game five, the Toronto

889
00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:24,200
Speaker 2: Raptors hosting the Golden State Wars in the twenty nineteen finals.

890
00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:26,600
Speaker 2: They're up three to one and they were up late

891
00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:29,799
Speaker 2: in this game. Nick Nurse calls the timeout and then

892
00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:33,440
Speaker 2: things just fall apart. Golden State wins. Now the Toronto

893
00:41:33,480 --> 00:41:35,720
Speaker 2: Raptors go on to win Game six. So it seems

894
00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:39,279
Speaker 2: it seems like I'm being totally biased here because we

895
00:41:39,280 --> 00:41:42,879
Speaker 2: were at a game where NBA TV sent us all there,

896
00:41:43,160 --> 00:41:45,719
Speaker 2: all of us there as they were, well all of

897
00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:50,840
Speaker 2: us tests well start excuse me, yeah, still salty, still salty.

898
00:41:51,080 --> 00:41:55,479
Speaker 2: I apologize. This is the worst loss for JD as well.

899
00:41:56,120 --> 00:41:59,920
Speaker 2: No that they won the championship obviously, and that was there.

900
00:42:00,640 --> 00:42:04,239
Speaker 2: I guess for some of us, their their package to go,

901
00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:10,800
Speaker 2: as we also lost our jobs very talk about bittersweet

902
00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:16,560
Speaker 2: very shortly after Raptors win the next day where shit canned.

903
00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:19,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, you guys could work here until the Raptors win

904
00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:20,000
Speaker 3: the championships.

905
00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:21,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was a wild one.

906
00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:23,640
Speaker 5: That that was a weird thing to write into our

907
00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:27,640
Speaker 5: contracts on in retrospect. Yeah, if the Raptors win the championship,

908
00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:29,280
Speaker 5: you can't work here anymore.

909
00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:32,799
Speaker 2: We thought it would never happen. Yeah, it was all

910
00:42:34,200 --> 00:42:37,799
Speaker 2: me totally being subjective here because the week prior, I

911
00:42:37,840 --> 00:42:40,239
Speaker 2: was supposed to go watch the last game of the

912
00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:45,160
Speaker 2: Eastern Conference Final Toronto at home to Milwaukee. I'd never

913
00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:47,640
Speaker 2: seen a freaking Raptors win in the playoffs, I mean

914
00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:51,399
Speaker 2: an actual good one. I was supposed to fly home.

915
00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:54,680
Speaker 2: I made the dumb move of getting on standby list,

916
00:42:55,239 --> 00:42:57,000
Speaker 2: because why would you do that?

917
00:42:57,080 --> 00:43:00,839
Speaker 3: So I wanted to go earlier or he didn't want

918
00:43:00,880 --> 00:43:01,240
Speaker 3: to pay.

919
00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:03,480
Speaker 2: He didn't want to pay. Well, yeah, I just I

920
00:43:03,640 --> 00:43:06,640
Speaker 2: just had a friend who had got me on a

921
00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:09,399
Speaker 2: stand by list of a flight like six months prior,

922
00:43:09,440 --> 00:43:12,040
Speaker 2: and I thought, well, that was easy, I'll do it again.

923
00:43:12,480 --> 00:43:15,080
Speaker 2: So I had paid for a flight and then I said,

924
00:43:15,120 --> 00:43:17,759
Speaker 2: you know what, I'm going to rescind, going to get

925
00:43:17,800 --> 00:43:20,080
Speaker 2: the refund and say, yeah, I'll go on stand by list.

926
00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:23,720
Speaker 2: But unfortunately, there was some atl airport problems the night before,

927
00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:26,400
Speaker 2: so everybody carried over until the next day. So I

928
00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:28,440
Speaker 2: was just sitting there. But then I bought because I

929
00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:30,360
Speaker 2: was sitting there and I waited for four flights that

930
00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:34,279
Speaker 2: didn't happen. I bought a flight at three pm that day,

931
00:43:34,960 --> 00:43:36,600
Speaker 2: and because I was already in the airport, I just

932
00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:38,640
Speaker 2: stayed there and I didn't actually go up to the

933
00:43:38,719 --> 00:43:42,760
Speaker 2: kiosk desk for sixty minutes, like there is a limit

934
00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:44,760
Speaker 2: you have to be there at least sixty minutes prior,

935
00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:47,320
Speaker 2: and they didn't know I had been because.

936
00:43:47,080 --> 00:43:48,240
Speaker 5: You didn't pass through security.

937
00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:50,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, because I didn't pass through security again, so I

938
00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:52,600
Speaker 2: didn't go up to the kiosk, so they didn't they

939
00:43:52,800 --> 00:43:57,440
Speaker 2: put all the stand bys for that for that stand

940
00:43:57,480 --> 00:44:00,000
Speaker 2: by person after you missed.

941
00:44:00,680 --> 00:44:00,839
Speaker 3: Yeah.

942
00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:04,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I really should have just gone up to people.

943
00:44:04,760 --> 00:44:07,400
Speaker 2: I should have approached people and said, this is the story.

944
00:44:07,960 --> 00:44:09,799
Speaker 2: Maybe maybe you can get on the standby for the

945
00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:12,560
Speaker 2: next flight. Can I take your seat if that's possible.

946
00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:17,080
Speaker 2: I mean I literally you couldn't do that by changing

947
00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:19,200
Speaker 2: names or actually through the ticket, but I could have

948
00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:21,239
Speaker 2: literally just said, let me just take your seat, let

949
00:44:21,239 --> 00:44:23,040
Speaker 2: me just walk in free, sir. But how the hell

950
00:44:23,040 --> 00:44:26,120
Speaker 2: would you do that actually take their passport? Yeah, that

951
00:44:26,120 --> 00:44:29,400
Speaker 2: would be really weird. Anyway, all that to say, I

952
00:44:29,440 --> 00:44:32,480
Speaker 2: didn't see any games. I drove home after being at

953
00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:36,120
Speaker 2: the airport for ten hours and watched them win. So

954
00:44:36,239 --> 00:44:39,399
Speaker 2: that was bittersweet. Yeah. And then you know Game six

955
00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:41,399
Speaker 2: of the finals where they went on to win as well,

956
00:44:41,400 --> 00:44:44,120
Speaker 2: also kind of bittersweet as we watched that at home.

957
00:44:44,560 --> 00:44:46,560
Speaker 2: Wasn't the same as being in Toronto where we could

958
00:44:46,560 --> 00:44:48,920
Speaker 2: have gone buck nutty, but we would have produced some

959
00:44:49,160 --> 00:44:51,080
Speaker 2: not you, JD, but everybody else would have produced some

960
00:44:51,080 --> 00:44:53,719
Speaker 2: stuff for TV as well that night. It would have

961
00:44:53,719 --> 00:44:54,400
Speaker 2: been fun.

962
00:44:54,840 --> 00:44:56,719
Speaker 3: Would have been hanging with now bought you all night.

963
00:44:56,920 --> 00:45:01,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it would have been a great night. Anyway.

964
00:45:02,760 --> 00:45:13,560
Speaker 2: From there, treated ant threed overnight. Wow, three of the night.

965
00:45:14,239 --> 00:45:17,319
Speaker 3: It's from baseball. That's when it comes to us from

966
00:45:17,480 --> 00:45:22,239
Speaker 3: at MLB Major League Baseball. It's a video clip. You're

967
00:45:22,239 --> 00:45:24,600
Speaker 3: not gonna believe it flights on the dirt or is

968
00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:27,080
Speaker 3: able to. That's a different, different play bill down the

969
00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:28,080
Speaker 3: right field line.

970
00:45:28,160 --> 00:45:32,720
Speaker 5: That ball is fair while look at it, it's stuck

971
00:45:32,760 --> 00:45:33,520
Speaker 5: in the grating.

972
00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:34,960
Speaker 3: There's the proof.

973
00:45:37,080 --> 00:45:38,759
Speaker 5: You've never seen a Weggie home run like that.

974
00:45:38,920 --> 00:45:40,320
Speaker 2: Wow, I'm seeing it in the NBA.

975
00:45:40,120 --> 00:45:42,920
Speaker 3: Where the ball gets stuck in the hoop. But that

976
00:45:43,040 --> 00:45:46,799
Speaker 3: was a Weggie. Yes, that was Aggie. There's a Weggie.

977
00:45:47,120 --> 00:45:49,120
Speaker 2: Take all things Weggies and baseball.

978
00:45:49,239 --> 00:45:52,239
Speaker 3: The full NBA shout out too. I thought that was incredible.

979
00:45:52,280 --> 00:45:57,000
Speaker 3: Oswaldo Cabrera with the big dinger. Fred Katz was messaging me.

980
00:45:57,080 --> 00:45:59,799
Speaker 3: I said, as wada Cabrera any good? He said, he's

981
00:45:59,840 --> 00:46:02,120
Speaker 3: an okay, hard playing young player who might stick but

982
00:46:02,160 --> 00:46:05,080
Speaker 3: also might not. He's like Miles McBride. But three months ago.

983
00:46:05,560 --> 00:46:07,600
Speaker 3: I don't know if that's true. But he got a wedgie.

984
00:46:07,840 --> 00:46:09,400
Speaker 3: It's been a long time since we've had one in

985
00:46:09,520 --> 00:46:10,480
Speaker 3: actual basketball.

986
00:46:10,760 --> 00:46:11,239
Speaker 2: This is true.

987
00:46:11,280 --> 00:46:12,080
Speaker 3: Maybe we should count it.

988
00:46:12,960 --> 00:46:17,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good point. But people are starting to

989
00:46:17,239 --> 00:46:20,080
Speaker 2: know this in baseball, that there are wedges in basketball.

990
00:46:20,120 --> 00:46:22,480
Speaker 2: This as another clip that we have from a couple

991
00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:24,799
Speaker 2: of years ago in a baseball game.

992
00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:32,239
Speaker 4: My buddy, I am Eagle, who does basketball in the

993
00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:34,960
Speaker 4: NBA college basketball when a ball, when a basketball is

994
00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:37,000
Speaker 4: stunt between the rim and the backboard, he calls it

995
00:46:37,080 --> 00:46:37,799
Speaker 4: a wedgie.

996
00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:39,080
Speaker 3: Let me see that.

997
00:46:39,760 --> 00:46:42,000
Speaker 4: I think we got our baseball version of it here,

998
00:46:43,800 --> 00:46:47,520
Speaker 4: but he got its everywhere.

999
00:46:47,960 --> 00:46:48,359
Speaker 3: Got it.

1000
00:46:48,840 --> 00:46:51,000
Speaker 2: They gave the credit to Eagle, who deserves the credit.

1001
00:46:51,160 --> 00:46:53,399
Speaker 3: He's a big weggie caller. Yes, I didn't know who

1002
00:46:53,400 --> 00:46:56,920
Speaker 3: the broadcaster was, Amazon Prime Baseball. I didn't know that.

1003
00:46:57,880 --> 00:47:01,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're at everything. The Phillies broadcast there. Yes it's happening,

1004
00:47:02,120 --> 00:47:05,880
Speaker 2: but wedgies are happening in baseball everywhere. Sometimes, as we've

1005
00:47:06,200 --> 00:47:08,080
Speaker 2: kind of covered over the last couple of years, baseballs

1006
00:47:08,080 --> 00:47:11,920
Speaker 2: will get wedged in a wall, occasionally padding between the wall,

1007
00:47:12,080 --> 00:47:15,960
Speaker 2: padding exactly, so what happens. Just nice to hear Eagle

1008
00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:20,200
Speaker 2: get some props as we sometimes do as well.

1009
00:47:20,520 --> 00:47:22,879
Speaker 3: And I'll say, look, we haven't had a wedgie since

1010
00:47:22,880 --> 00:47:25,600
Speaker 3: we hit number sixty. That home run would be number

1011
00:47:25,600 --> 00:47:30,640
Speaker 3: sixty one. Roger Marris New York Yankee sixty one homers,

1012
00:47:30,920 --> 00:47:32,480
Speaker 3: the Yankee record for a long time.

1013
00:47:32,719 --> 00:47:34,000
Speaker 2: Very nice, very nice.

1014
00:47:34,040 --> 00:47:35,799
Speaker 3: Should we count it only if we don't get another

1015
00:47:35,800 --> 00:47:39,000
Speaker 3: one for the retroactively count it?

1016
00:47:39,280 --> 00:47:41,719
Speaker 5: We are at our all time record, Yeah we are.

1017
00:47:41,800 --> 00:47:44,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're living we're living large. They're happening in other

1018
00:47:44,640 --> 00:47:45,239
Speaker 3: sports now.

1019
00:47:45,360 --> 00:47:46,719
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's true.

1020
00:47:46,840 --> 00:47:48,920
Speaker 3: A lot of wedges hoping eight days though it's been

1021
00:47:49,760 --> 00:47:51,480
Speaker 3: maybe this weekend or.

1022
00:47:51,400 --> 00:47:56,279
Speaker 2: Tonight where we have Bucks, Pacers and Nick's seventy six ers.

1023
00:47:56,280 --> 00:48:00,960
Speaker 2: As we said there, get there earlier there late because

1024
00:48:00,960 --> 00:48:04,680
Speaker 2: the Pacers game locally it's five point thirty. The seventy

1025
00:48:04,719 --> 00:48:08,959
Speaker 2: six Ers game locally nine o'clock. That's the schedule. Also,

1026
00:48:08,960 --> 00:48:12,200
Speaker 2: the Maple Leafs are hosting the Bruins tonight. Wo it'll

1027
00:48:12,239 --> 00:48:16,560
Speaker 2: be a nutty there in not Jurassic Park Leaf Square

1028
00:48:16,600 --> 00:48:20,160
Speaker 2: as they call it there because they're down three to two.

1029
00:48:21,120 --> 00:48:23,319
Speaker 3: Must win, must win, yeah, must win.

1030
00:48:23,440 --> 00:48:24,880
Speaker 2: They want it to make it three to two. I

1031
00:48:24,920 --> 00:48:29,799
Speaker 2: don't know if Austin Matthews is playing tonight, but he

1032
00:48:29,840 --> 00:48:32,319
Speaker 2: didn't play when they made it three to two.

1033
00:48:32,600 --> 00:48:34,920
Speaker 3: See like he's like the Joel Embiid of the Leafs.

1034
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:38,560
Speaker 2: No no, no, no, no no he plays hard. He plays

1035
00:48:38,600 --> 00:48:42,480
Speaker 2: every game except for Alaska. Yeah, except for last game.

1036
00:48:42,640 --> 00:48:45,360
Speaker 2: You got. He did get hurt, but not in the

1037
00:48:45,400 --> 00:48:49,400
Speaker 2: same way as Embiid. He scored sixty nine goals.

1038
00:48:49,000 --> 00:48:51,279
Speaker 3: This year by Joel Embid was the leading scorer when

1039
00:48:51,280 --> 00:48:51,719
Speaker 3: he went out.

1040
00:48:51,880 --> 00:48:52,959
Speaker 2: That's true. That's true.

1041
00:48:53,120 --> 00:48:59,440
Speaker 3: Wow, wow, parallel. Let us know hockey fans, no idea,

1042
00:48:59,560 --> 00:49:01,600
Speaker 3: all right, no idea.

1043
00:49:02,520 --> 00:49:06,480
Speaker 2: Austin Matthews great, dude, great, you know, scored seventy I

1044
00:49:06,560 --> 00:49:08,359
Speaker 2: hear lots of good things from the people who love

1045
00:49:08,400 --> 00:49:14,239
Speaker 2: hockey in Toronto. Apparently he's incredible. Austin with an O. Okay,

Speaker 5: Wait, it's Austin with an O.

1048
00:49:19,040 --> 00:49:20,200

Speaker 3: I think there was, yeah, way back when. Interesting.
