Speaker 1: twenty five. This is the Late Shift and I'm Jay

00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:31,479
Speaker 1: Skeets jumping in the yard with my guys on the

Speaker 1: ones and twos making the magic happen. It's eshwa kid,

00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:38,840
Speaker 2: Esh How are you doing? Skeets? Yeah?

8
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:42,199
Speaker 1: I was wondering if this is like, we're harassment in

9
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 1: a weird way, making you jump on late on a

10
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 1: Friday night to talk about your Celtics getting absolutely hammered

11
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 1: here in.

12
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:52,520
Speaker 2: A do or Die game six man. When we talked

13
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 2: about it earlier today, I'm like, yeah, I would be

14
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 2: so happy to hop on and talk about how the

15
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 2: Celtics are forcing the game seven. Maybe play the Zaza clib.

16
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 2: We're going the game seven, baby. I was so hype

17
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 2: and to go to little kids birthday party earlier. I

18
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 2: turned my phone on. I was like, I got to

19
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 2: watch the game just in case. Yeah, yeah, I turned

20
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 2: my phone right big off and.

21
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is this is rare for No Dunks. We

22
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 1: are actually podcasting while the game is still going on,

23
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 1: because it is an absolute beat down in MSG currently

24
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 1: about three and a half minutes to go in the

25
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:30,320
Speaker 1: fourth and the Knicks up a comfortable thirty two points,

26
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 1: and I do believe I'm just looking Tips has finally

27
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:36,680
Speaker 1: got the starters off the floor about time, so they

28
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 1: they've been pulled. There's no risk of injury as they

29
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:43,759
Speaker 1: move forward. But yeah, the New York Knicks just pummeled

30
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:47,040
Speaker 1: the Celtics tonight. And they they generally say the toughest

31
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 1: win in the NBA is the one where you got

32
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 1: to end somebody season, and I do believe that. But

33
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 1: this one end up being pretty easy for New York.

34
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 1: After a sluggish first quarter from both teams, nobody could

35
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 1: really hit a show, nobody could hit a three. It

36
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 1: was twenty six to twenty at the end of the

37
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 1: first quarter. But then in the second, my god, it

38
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 1: was on for New York. There was that chase down

39
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 1: block from Duce McBride that turned into Josh Hart and one.

40
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 1: On the other end, Nicks went up twenty msg was

41
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:22,079
Speaker 1: like pulsating, man, Like that place was rocking, Like through

42
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:25,839
Speaker 1: your television screen you can definitely they're up big. And yeah,

43
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:27,360
Speaker 1: they got it to twenty seven at the half, and

44
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 1: then it got even bigger there in the third quarter,

45
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 1: and obviously it just turned into garbage time.

46
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was. It was real ugly. The game started off,

47
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 2: like you said, twenty six twenty in the first quarter,

48
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 2: you're feeling pretty confident. If you're the Celtics, You're like,

49
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 2: let's go ahead and take one more. You know, let's

50
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:44,959
Speaker 2: go ahead and do it for our guy, Jason Tatum.

51
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 2: Jaylen Brown seemed like he was a guy that came

52
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:49,800
Speaker 2: to play, even though the rest of the Celtics couldn't

53
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 2: necessarily hit a shot. Jalen Brown was a guy putting

54
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 2: the ball on the floor, getting to his spots, looking

55
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 2: like Jaylen Brown, looking like Okay, I'm gonna do this.

56
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 2: I'm the man, I'm the guy, and then quickly faded away.

57
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 2: As of as of the time we started, he was

58
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 2: eight for twenty. I know he's out of game by

59
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,959
Speaker 2: the time we got on this podcast, but just wasn't

60
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 2: able to keep it up at all and found out

61
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 2: of the game.

62
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, he fouled out with two fifty to go in

63
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,920
Speaker 1: the third quarter. I mean, a brutal ending to a season,

64
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 1: But that sort of sums up the game here to

65
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 1: the point where they just kept him out there because

66
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 1: it was like, well, there's no point taking him out

67
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 1: when he got his fourth fifth Ballot's exactly, he's the

68
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,119
Speaker 1: only guy doing absolutely anything. And he slowed, of course

69
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 1: as the game went on, but a good first quarter

70
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 1: for him. He had thirteen points, he was five of eight,

71
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:34,399
Speaker 1: he was knocking down some threes, he hit the one

72
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 1: free throw for the team. He did have a couple

73
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 1: turnovers that were not all that great, but the rest

74
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 1: of the team mesh the Celtics in the first quarter

75
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 1: seven points, three of sixteen, shooting one to seven from deep,

76
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 1: no free throw attempts, and even more turnovers than Jalen

77
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 1: Brown had himself. And you're right, they're still in the game.

78
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:53,119
Speaker 1: But then second quarter it just like got out of hand.

79
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 1: And like games like this where it's like an absolute

80
00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 1: ass kicking, you only get these type of out comes,

81
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 1: especially in the postseason, when one team is rolling, they're clicking,

82
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 1: they're getting great shots, they're dominating, and the other team

83
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 1: doesn't have it right. And so that was like, that's

84
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 1: how you end up with these type of results. Right

85
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 1: when you end up with a thirty forty point win,

86
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:19,040
Speaker 1: it's like the Knicks were ballin' and the Celtics, Holy crap,

87
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:22,839
Speaker 1: they were struggling because they not only couldn't they hit shots,

88
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:27,839
Speaker 1: they could not create good looks I thought at all.

89
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 1: In the half court set it was over. Like when

90
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 1: they would sometimes get out and transition, it was a

91
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 1: little bit better. But man, once the defense was locked in,

92
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:37,720
Speaker 1: and that's a testament to the knixt defense because they

93
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 1: were swallowing up everything at the point of attack, making rotations,

94
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 1: just smothering shooters. Like there was that one play where

95
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:47,040
Speaker 1: Mitchell Robinson, I don't know if you saw that play,

96
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 1: were like he like he was bouncing around like him

97
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 1: and heart, they were bouncing around everywhere. Mitchell Robinson closed

98
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,159
Speaker 1: out on Jailen Brown and like, I don't know, Jalen

99
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 1: probably should have shot it right away, but he was

100
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: like super hesitant. You've got Mitchell Robinson running at him,

101
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 1: and that one ended in the turnover.

102
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 2: It It just speaks to how the Knicks have been

103
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 2: the entire series. They've been ready to go, Like even

104
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:09,280
Speaker 2: us on the podcast, right, like we previewed it, all

105
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 2: of us together, and we're all saying Celtics in five,

106
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:15,160
Speaker 2: maybe Celtics and six. And I think the Knicks took

107
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 2: that person, like the Jordan meme, because they've been ready

108
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:21,160
Speaker 2: the whole time. Every time you see game one and two,

109
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 2: the Celtics up big, and they take their foot off

110
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 2: the gas by continuously shooting threes, missing forty five, missing thirty.

111
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,159
Speaker 2: The Knicks are ready to go. They don't care. They

112
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 2: take the punches, they roll with them, and then they

113
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 2: come back. They come up swinging, they knock you out. Well,

114
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 2: the Celtics, they finally get their one, they get their two.

115
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 2: With Jason Tatum going down. I thought maybe they have

116
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 2: a little bit more fighting them tonight. But I guess

117
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 2: I guess you maybe underestimate the leader that Jason Tatum

118
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 2: kind of is on that team, or just how not

119
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 2: ready the Celtics were to play like they are trying

120
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:55,919
Speaker 2: to come in and repeat. But or Zengis has not

121
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 2: been good this entire series. Missoula a little hesitant to

122
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:03,039
Speaker 2: make some changes. You know, he went with Cornett last

123
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 2: game and bench in Perzingis, and that was a big,

124
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 2: big thing. But we didn't see anything else from tonight,

125
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 2: Like I don't know what else.

126
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 1: The Missoula started Cornett in place of Porzingis tonight in

127
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 1: Game six here I thought Cornett was a little shaky

128
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 1: to be honest. To start, like in his first career

129
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 1: playoffs start, he he had that bad turnover he jumped

130
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:26,040
Speaker 1: in the air, no plan under the bascot masket, excuse me,

131
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 1: under the basket. That was a Celtics turnover. Then he

132
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 1: bit hard on a cat three point attempt up top,

133
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:32,480
Speaker 1: just a pump fake. He was like, he was just

134
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:34,600
Speaker 1: too antsy. A few minutes later he got blocked by

135
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 1: og and semi transition. Like he did some things, but

136
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 1: like you understand why you went with him though, because

137
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 1: KP was giving you nothing at all, and then you

138
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:44,359
Speaker 1: know KP checks in and this game had like a

139
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 1: couple nice plays, but it was like that's it, that's

140
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 1: all you got, and like you had Drew Holiday having

141
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 1: a brutal game, a bad game where you start looking

142
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:55,279
Speaker 1: at that contract going, oh my god. Because I think

143
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 1: a lot of people thought, Okay, he had a bad

144
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 1: regular season. He struggled, He'll turn it on a he's

145
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,359
Speaker 1: a sixteen game player, he's a playoff guy. He levels

146
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 1: up in the postseason. He never really did. He never

147
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:08,720
Speaker 1: really did. The age is showing again. He's got a

148
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 1: lot of money left on that deal. Maybe he's a

149
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 1: guy that gets moved and maybe he becomes a guy

150
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 1: that is like the per easy to be expensive, but

151
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 1: the perfect guy to come off somebody's bench right right,

152
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 1: and to sort of run a second unit. But anyway,

153
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 1: that's looking ahead. And then Derek White, who was awesome

154
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 1: in game five, splashing three is left and right, he

155
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 1: just did not have it going. And as I see here,

156
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 1: game over, Nick win, nixt win, and they advanced to

157
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 1: the finals for the first time in a long time. Yeah,

158
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 1: we'll get into Indiana Boston. But yeah, I mean, I

159
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 1: guess that Game five was just that was the that

160
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 1: was the Celtics, like win one for Tatum type of

161
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 1: game Like that was like showing out for their crowd

162
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 1: and putting on a show. And then Nix obviously had

163
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 1: some confidence going back to Madison Square Guarden, and I

164
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 1: just loved like, even when they were up twenty, up thirty,

165
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 1: hell up forty, the Knicks were playing like they were

166
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 1: down exactly by a law, Like they were the one

167
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 1: playing like, oh my god, we gotta win or we're done.

168
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 1: So they were looking at this game it felt like

169
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 1: like game seven for them. Don't go back to Boston.

170
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, because I think for the Knicks, with everything that's

171
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 2: happened with them forever, just being a nixt organization, you

172
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 2: can't go back to Boston. If they found a way

173
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 2: to get back to Boston, that's ugly. They flubbed that, right,

174
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 2: But if you come out here and you have your

175
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 2: killer mentality, you're like, Okay, you got your emotional win

176
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 2: in front of your crowd, but we have to do

177
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:28,679
Speaker 2: it tonight. And like you said, the New York crowd

178
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 2: was insane and they definitely fed off of that, you know,

179
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:35,520
Speaker 2: like they're they're they're feeding each other with the energy.

180
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:40,080
Speaker 2: So we talk about the Celtics all year, about their

181
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:42,560
Speaker 2: entire team and how they're supposed to show up, and

182
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:44,080
Speaker 2: we're like, well, maybe this team's too good. Look at

183
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 2: how stacked they are. None of them showed up in

184
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:49,319
Speaker 2: this in this series at all. Like you said, Perzingis,

185
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 2: where was he? He looks like, I can't even I

186
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 2: don't even know. I can't even give you a comparison

187
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:58,679
Speaker 2: because he just did not show up at all. Obviously,

188
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 2: Jason Tatum and hurt. Derek White usually becomes everybody's like, oh,

189
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 2: he turns into Steph Curry the playoffs, he has not

190
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:06,960
Speaker 2: been able to hit like everything that they did, the

191
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:10,840
Speaker 2: math problem that we were so like talking about the

192
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 2: entire time. It was really ugly for them. So I

193
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:15,719
Speaker 2: don't know, I don't know what happens for them for now.

194
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:19,720
Speaker 2: And congratulations to the Niggs. Yeah, but this is rough man.

195
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 1: It was. It was a bad game six. I mean

196
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 1: I'm looking at it now. White eight points, Drew Holiday

197
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 1: four points. I mean Cornett, like I said, he started,

198
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:31,840
Speaker 1: he played twenty one minutes, five points. Al Horford. Al

199
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,079
Speaker 1: Horford was fine. I mean he was a minus thirty

200
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:35,960
Speaker 1: three out there with a lot of these starters. But

201
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,200
Speaker 1: he had ten points. Okay, like they just they got nothing.

202
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:39,720
Speaker 1: It was Jayleen Brown for one quarter.

203
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 2: That's all it was.

204
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 1: So it was it was like not even a full quarter.

205
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 1: It was Jail Brown for eight minutes. So that it

206
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 1: was like that was sort of it. But I liked

207
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:51,319
Speaker 1: what I saw from Kat in this game. I loved

208
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:53,600
Speaker 1: it because we were talking about that, Like, Okay, Cornet,

209
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,959
Speaker 1: game came in. He changed game five. You're back home.

210
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 1: You better show up, man, I mean, you're the All Star,

211
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:01,960
Speaker 1: You're the all NBA big That they went and made

212
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 1: this deal for and he was great. His first basket,

213
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 1: super tough. He attacked Horford, banked it in over Cornet

214
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 1: who came with the help, like beautiful, cool shot. That

215
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 1: was awesome. Then he overpowered Jail and Brown inside he scored.

216
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 1: How many times did Kat flex in this game? He

217
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:22,840
Speaker 1: felt like he was flexing like three or four times

218
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 1: in this game. Then Josh Hart started doing it every

219
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,439
Speaker 1: second play, so they're flexing all over them. A few

220
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 1: minutes later, Kat grabbed an offensive rebound over Sam Hauser

221
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 1: who was off an og miss in the corner, just

222
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:35,839
Speaker 1: too big, flipped it right back in. You know, it

223
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 1: hit on the rim and went in. He finally hit

224
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:42,440
Speaker 1: a three pointer off of a Deuce McBride offensive rebound.

225
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:44,959
Speaker 1: You know, we always loved the percentage when somebody gets

226
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 1: an offensive rebound and kicks it back out to somebody.

227
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:50,560
Speaker 1: That three pointer goes in at a higher percentage than

228
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 1: normally shooting a three pointer. Shuman do the math, but

229
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 1: I know it's higher. It just goes in more. And

230
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 1: then he had a nice play in the second quarter,

231
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 1: a nice pick and roll work with Brunson, And that's

232
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 1: where like Cat did the thing where he tucks the

233
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 1: ball away, you know, powers through guys had the end

234
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:08,439
Speaker 1: one finish a flex again. So he had sixteen points

235
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 1: in the first half. I thought he just I just

236
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:13,080
Speaker 1: thought he met the moment here and was and like

237
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 1: you said, like that guy man, talk about a guy

238
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 1: that feeds off the crowd. So twenty one and twelve

239
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 1: for Cat, like all the starters on the Knicks and

240
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:24,559
Speaker 1: everybody except Josh Hart who had a triple double ten

241
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 1: eleven and eleven. Everybody else scored over twenty yesh, So

242
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:29,199
Speaker 1: like they all showed up in this game. And I

243
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:32,560
Speaker 1: really do think they wisely looked at, like at this

244
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 1: game as a game seven for them.

245
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:36,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean they had to. And you know, it's

246
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 2: funny you talk about Kat, you gotta give him praise.

247
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 2: You got to give him some high praise for this

248
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:43,560
Speaker 2: this coming out party for him a little bit, because

249
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 2: it's like in the playoffs before we always get on

250
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 2: to him. He's one of those guys that were like, okay,

251
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 2: like you're here, do something, yep, And he showed up

252
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:53,840
Speaker 2: in this series. Like I'm really impressed with Cat And

253
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 2: it's so funny him being traded for Julius Randall, another

254
00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 2: guy that is perennially shit on in the playoff yep,

255
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,680
Speaker 2: and he's amazing too, Like, what who would have thought

256
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 2: this was going to be such a win win trade

257
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 2: in the off season when it happened, because I'm sure

258
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 2: on this show we were saying, what is this and

259
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:12,960
Speaker 2: why are we doing this? Like there's no way? And

260
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 2: then you even see and I know we're not talking

261
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:16,559
Speaker 2: about the timber Wolves, but you see them on that side,

262
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 2: the way they played throughout the regular season, even the Knicks,

263
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:21,679
Speaker 2: how they played throughout the regular season against the Celtics,

264
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:24,080
Speaker 2: Nobody thought they would be here, both of them in

265
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:26,440
Speaker 2: the conference finals. Look at us, you know, I.

266
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 1: Know, you imagine we get a Wolves Knicks finals, which

267
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 1: is of course in play.

268
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 2: I think is going to happen. That is my prediction already,

269
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 2: We're gonna.

270
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 1: Get it, right, all right, Well, what it could happen.

271
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,720
Speaker 1: It might happen, and if it does, you'll be hard

272
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:43,959
Speaker 1: pressed to find a better win win trade where they

273
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 1: literally swamp these guys and they both go to the finals.

274
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 1: Now one will ultimately be the loser in the finals,

275
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 1: but man, if that's the case, that's that is nuts

276
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:55,719
Speaker 1: that it just worked out so well for both of

277
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 1: these teams. It's just a great, great win. One other

278
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 1: note I wanted to make there was one change because

279
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 1: Luke Cornett got the start, like I said, in this

280
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 1: game and in game five, he was roaming right, he

281
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 1: was just roaming off of Josh Hart and that's how

282
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 1: he got all these but half of those blocks were

283
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:14,720
Speaker 1: like help blocks because he didn't have to worry about Heart.

284
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:17,319
Speaker 1: I thought the Knicks did a slick job they countered

285
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:20,680
Speaker 1: in this game. They brought Heart higher on the floor

286
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 1: and at times even like ran offense through Heart in

287
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 1: sort of a high post, and that made Cornett have

288
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 1: to stick to him a little bit more or pull

289
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 1: out a little bit more, so he couldn't roam as much.

290
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 1: So nice, you know, I thought that was like a

291
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:37,440
Speaker 1: smart toaching change by TIBs and the Knick's staff because

292
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 1: they probably realized, like, okay, they're probably gonna start Cornett

293
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 1: in game six, because you know, it was a difference

294
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 1: maker in game five and Porzingis is like he can't breathe.

295
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 1: So that was just like a little note that you know,

296
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 1: ultimately in this game where they kicked their ass. It's

297
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:52,599
Speaker 1: a small note, but it was at the start of

298
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 1: the game that like jumped out to me. It was like, okay,

299
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 1: they were ready for that, and I think it had

300
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 1: a bit of an impact. But any other notes you

301
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 1: got from this game, I mean it was the rests

302
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:05,679
Speaker 1: were letting the play I thought for that first.

303
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 2: I don't know.

304
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 1: First little bit that is the whistle tightened up a

305
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:11,079
Speaker 1: little bit. But yeah, anything else on this one on

306
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 1: your Celtics getting get embarrassed here? I know we'll have

307
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 1: a whole offseason to talk about, like is this the

308
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 1: end of this iteration of the Celtics, Like what do

309
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 1: they do here? But yeah, what do you think?

310
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 2: Yeah? I mean, no other real notes from this one. Man, Like,

311
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 2: they got blown out. They did not show up the

312
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 2: way that you would expect him to show up for

313
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 2: a team that's backs against the wall. But I guess,

314
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 2: I guess maybe they tried their hardies. I can't even

315
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 2: I don't know.

316
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I mean, look, I mean you take out

317
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 1: a guy that's like a perennial top five MVP guy,

318
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 1: you're in trouble. I mean, I'm not saying Tatum's on

319
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 1: Steph Curry's level, right, but he's sort of is. I

320
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:53,920
Speaker 1: mean he's in the conversation as a top five player

321
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 1: still in the league, and it's like, we saw what

322
00:14:55,600 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 1: happened with that completely changes the entire offense of your team. Uh,

323
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:03,360
Speaker 1: with the Warriors, and you know, and to a lesser extended,

324
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 1: the same thing with Tatum. Right, you remove him, you're

325
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 1: you're taking out like the release valve, the guy that

326
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 1: runs everything Alpha.

327
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I definitely understand what you're saying, especially but when

328
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 2: you're compared like you were talking about Steph Curry, like

329
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 2: he was their offense for the most part. They could

330
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 2: not score without Steph Curry on the floor. But Jason Tatum, like,

331
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 2: like I said, all year long, we're talking about this,

332
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 2: this starting five that they have and how amazing they

333
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 2: are and the way did they shoot the ball, the

334
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,080
Speaker 2: way did they play defense, the way did they this

335
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 2: that like none of them, none of them showed up.

336
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 2: And for the entire series. When you have two big

337
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 2: leads like that at home in the first two games

338
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 2: and blow them in the exact same fashion back to back,

339
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 2: there's no way we just the Celtics just won a

340
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 2: championship last season, everybody's picking them as a favorite again

341
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:50,800
Speaker 2: and they cannot execute that way. I don't know. And

342
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 2: then Jason Tatum being out of the line up here, uh,

343
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 2: you're supposed to still have And I know they're not

344
00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 2: all superstars, but the way that they have played, people

345
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 2: are like, oh, this is an all star team. This

346
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 2: is a really good team. Yeah, sure, sure, none of

347
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 2: them none of them showed up. None of them showed up.

348
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 2: None of them did so I don't know.

349
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 1: No, I mean, of course, it's a game now where

350
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 1: you look back, it's like when the game it's like

351
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 1: when the game starts getting out of hand, that's when

352
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 1: you get to turn to a superstar like Radom to

353
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 1: be like stop the bleeding hit that three, hit that jumper,

354
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 1: get to the free throw line, get us some points

355
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 1: on the board, make them focus on you. Then you're

356
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 1: kicking to a guy that can maybe hit a three.

357
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 1: Like it's like that thing. It's like these are when

358
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:32,160
Speaker 1: you see like these moments of like oh yeah, there's

359
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 1: there are levels to this where like yeah, and it's

360
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 1: like Jaylen Brown again, he did a really great job

361
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 1: in Game five, did a decent job in the first quarter,

362
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 1: and and then it was sort of like you could

363
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 1: tell like this the Knicks were like It's like this

364
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 1: is like the only guy we gotta worry about tonight,

365
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 1: like really, like, you know, Derek's not hitting. Drew seems

366
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 1: like a bit washed right now. The bigs we ain't

367
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 1: worried about. It's like, okay, Horford, maybe we'll hit a

368
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 1: couple of threes. We can live with that. And then

369
00:16:57,920 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 1: like a lot of the Knicks, a lot of the

370
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 1: Knicks defense was off leading to offense where like then,

371
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 1: so this couldn't stop them either. So Nick's moving on,

372
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:07,359
Speaker 1: my god, headed to the conference finals. I got a

373
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:10,440
Speaker 1: few random notes. We got the whole thing where they

374
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:13,400
Speaker 1: show the court side celebrities, so you're getting the classic

375
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 1: Ben Stillers and Timothy Schallome and you know, all your classics.

376
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:20,240
Speaker 1: And then we got a bust of Rhymes, who I

377
00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:22,520
Speaker 1: know they've showed before, but we don't see him every

378
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:25,960
Speaker 1: time when he's on the broadcast. We're sitting courtside, and man,

379
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:31,719
Speaker 1: the jewelry the bust of Rhymes had on. Holy crap,

380
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:36,440
Speaker 1: the size of this. I believe you know Cuban link

381
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 1: chain here?

382
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:39,560
Speaker 2: Oh man, ye hurt right like.

383
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 1: Like cool jacket, no doubt, but.

384
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 2: The jackets fired on top of the on top of

385
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:48,880
Speaker 2: the chain there.

386
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:51,879
Speaker 1: He looks like, I don't know if you were a

387
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 1: wrestling fan at all, yes you're a little bit, but

388
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 1: maybe ahead a or before your time, Ted dbi Assi.

389
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 1: It looks like he's got the million dollar belt turned

390
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:05,199
Speaker 1: into a necklace. That's what it sort of looks like.

391
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:08,440
Speaker 1: So he was there and they were like going nuts. Obviously,

392
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:10,760
Speaker 1: we did see the Celtics go to hack a Mitch

393
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 1: pretty early seven and a half minutes into the game.

394
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 1: He missed his first one. Crowd went dead silent. It's like, oh,

395
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:22,159
Speaker 1: oh crap, not one of these again, because he just

396
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:23,720
Speaker 1: went six for six in the last game. But he

397
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 1: did have that four for twelve game. But then the

398
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:33,119
Speaker 1: second free throw, he line drived that thing into the net.

399
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:36,800
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I don't know. I know how it

400
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:38,680
Speaker 1: goes in because it helps that he's like nearly seven

401
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:41,200
Speaker 1: feet tall and you were you don't have to put

402
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 1: a lot of arc on it. Holy moly, I thought

403
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:47,239
Speaker 1: it went through the rim man the laser. It was

404
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:50,159
Speaker 1: a laser, but you know, you split them and then

405
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 1: it's got the team going on. Maybe that's not the

406
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:55,200
Speaker 1: right strategy here, and I don't think they ever went

407
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:57,520
Speaker 1: back to it unless I'm forgetting. I don't think they

408
00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:02,719
Speaker 1: ever hacked him. Again, speaking of weird shots, Jalen Brunson

409
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 1: had like he had a good game, like again, like

410
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 1: everybody was great on the next tonight, what do he

411
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:09,719
Speaker 1: finished with? Twenty three points, six boards, six assists, hit

412
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:12,399
Speaker 1: a couple of threes, perfect at the line. He's a

413
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:15,960
Speaker 1: plus thirty out there. But you know, somewhat quiet game.

414
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 1: But I was thinking it a couple of shots, and

415
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:18,960
Speaker 1: I was thinking this in game five and I forgot

416
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:22,720
Speaker 1: to bring it up on the show. Uh. He reminds

417
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 1: me sometimes how he like, does you know he has

418
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:28,639
Speaker 1: like a quick shot, Like he creates contact, creates a

419
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:30,200
Speaker 1: little space, Like he's smaller guy and he's got to

420
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 1: do it. And he's got the quick shot. He's like

421
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:36,400
Speaker 1: a guy playing like Papa shot like at the arcade. Yeah,

422
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:38,760
Speaker 1: like he's not really shoiting it, but he's got that.

423
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 1: He just like has that flick and he's mastered it.

424
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:44,480
Speaker 2: I don't see it. I would have never thought about that,

425
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 2: but I could definitely see that getting into the lane

426
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:47,960
Speaker 2: and he definitely.

427
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:50,680
Speaker 1: Just yeah, it's just like yeah, it's like that gut

428
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:52,439
Speaker 1: like the you see like these people that rack up

429
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 1: these like super high scores. They're not like, like, Okay,

430
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 1: Brunson's incredible basketball player. So I know that sounds silly,

431
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 1: but like those people are I don't think really good

432
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:03,199
Speaker 1: basketball players. I don't think. But they just got that

433
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 1: little little touch, little flick, and he does that when

434
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 1: he gets inside, especially when he gets inside. Great note,

435
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:11,560
Speaker 1: we had a hilarious slow mo replay. I don't know

436
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:13,879
Speaker 1: if you saw this, Josh Hart getting a taste of

437
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:16,360
Speaker 1: Kristaps Porzingis armpit.

438
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:19,160
Speaker 2: Earlier in the game.

439
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:23,880
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I think a foul was called and

440
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 1: they went they shoot. They had a great slow moo

441
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:30,200
Speaker 1: shot of it, and his face is like up in

442
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:33,399
Speaker 1: his armpit, like his nose is in his armpit.

443
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 2: Oh, he's gotta be disgusting in there.

444
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 1: And I'm like and I'm like, he already has a

445
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:45,200
Speaker 1: cut above his eye from last game and his eye

446
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 1: was all bruised, and I'm like, oh, don't get that

447
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:51,400
Speaker 1: like infected or something, and we are PORZINGI has gotten

448
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:54,399
Speaker 1: illness as it is, man Like, stay, don't get that

449
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:55,440
Speaker 1: in your bloodstream.

450
00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:55,640
Speaker 2: Man.

451
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:57,359
Speaker 1: I don't know what that was like.

452
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 2: From the last Captain America movie, the latest the leaders.

453
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 1: That's exactly right, that's exactly right. So anyway, if you're

454
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 1: random notes on this game, that was a bit of

455
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:10,160
Speaker 1: a young or after the first half because the Knicks

456
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 1: were partying. So they move on to take on the

457
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 1: Pacers in the Eastern Conference Finals. They got a history

458
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:22,199
Speaker 1: these two teams. I think they've played eight times in

459
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:25,200
Speaker 1: the postseason because they played a whole lot in the nineties.

460
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:28,960
Speaker 2: Nineteen ninety six they.

461
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:31,639
Speaker 1: Played, they played, well, that was the one year they

462
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:32,160
Speaker 1: didn't play.

463
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:34,359
Speaker 2: I don't think, oh really, I just picked ye and

464
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:34,919
Speaker 2: it was not that.

465
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, somebody could FactCheck me. I remember them playing.

466
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:41,200
Speaker 1: I remember them playing three straight years, so I think

467
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 1: it was ninety three, ninety four, ninety five. Then I

468
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:45,000
Speaker 1: think there was a few years that they didn't play,

469
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:48,680
Speaker 1: and then they played again late nineties, ninety eight, ninety nine,

470
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 1: two thousand, that was a conference finals. Then they played

471
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:55,680
Speaker 1: in twenty thirteen, which is forgotten. I think that's that's

472
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:59,400
Speaker 1: a mellow Paul George George, Yeah, and then they played

473
00:21:59,440 --> 00:21:59,880
Speaker 1: last year.

474
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:05,399
Speaker 2: That's exact right, you got them all right, ninety three, thirteen,

475
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 2: twenty four, and now this year.

476
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 1: Right, So he's held a lot of matchups, and I think, uh,

477
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 1: the big winner of this is the WWE Triple H.

478
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:16,640
Speaker 2: There you go.

479
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:21,240
Speaker 1: I'm dropping more wrestling references for everybody. But we literally

480
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:25,920
Speaker 1: have had storylines, storylines of like Jalen Brunson and Tyrese

481
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:29,679
Speaker 1: Halliburton like, uh, you know, sort of squaring off in

482
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:33,440
Speaker 1: the in the squared circle or at least also ringside.

483
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:35,240
Speaker 1: But yeah, they were in the ring. There's a photo

484
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:38,720
Speaker 1: of Tyre's Halliburton with Logan Paul and Jalen Brunson with

485
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:44,199
Speaker 1: La Knight. So Triple H and the WWE they got

486
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:46,360
Speaker 1: to have some fun. I'm thinking with this Eastern Conference

487
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:48,399
Speaker 1: Finals like they got I don't know, you gotta make

488
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:49,879
Speaker 1: some cool promos or something that'd.

489
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:51,959
Speaker 2: Be exactically right like they had them in there. They

490
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:53,679
Speaker 2: gotta they gotta do something like that.

491
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like the ww is the master of promos, so

492
00:22:57,040 --> 00:23:03,199
Speaker 1: so put whip something together. I saw Mike Prayed of

493
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 1: the Athletics say this. I saw it in slack. He

494
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:06,960
Speaker 1: probably we got it up on the live block too.

495
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 1: But you're going to hear these factoids over the next

496
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:13,320
Speaker 1: twenty four hours a lot. Now that we're down or

497
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 1: we're soon to be down to the final four. We

498
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 1: got a Game seven baby on Sunday, Thunder Nuggets. This

499
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:21,760
Speaker 1: is going to be the seventh straight season that we

500
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 1: will not have a repeat NBA champion. So you know,

501
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:30,879
Speaker 1: we have maybe reached the parody era here and it

502
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:34,000
Speaker 1: doesn't really have show any signs of slowing down. But

503
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 1: five of those seven teams that previously won lost in

504
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,679
Speaker 1: the second round of the playoffs the next year. We

505
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:43,240
Speaker 1: had the Raptors in twenty twenty, Bucks in twenty two,

506
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:47,200
Speaker 1: Warriors in twenty three, Nuggets in twenty four, Celtics now

507
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:53,000
Speaker 1: in twenty five. So, yeah, the dynasty is dead. Yeah,

508
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:55,440
Speaker 1: we're gonna be running back seventh straight here.

509
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:58,200
Speaker 2: How do you feel about that? Right? Because the casual fans,

510
00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 2: like before, I was so tired the NBA is boring,

511
00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:04,720
Speaker 2: the Cavs and no Warriors play every year. Now here

512
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 2: we are we got different people in the finals all

513
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:09,879
Speaker 2: the time, new champions, all this great stuff. How do

514
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:10,680
Speaker 2: you feel about it?

515
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 1: I honestly, I like both. Like I love when there's

516
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:16,480
Speaker 1: a I love when there's a dynasty because you're like,

517
00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:18,440
Speaker 1: can they do it again? Who's going to be the

518
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:19,400
Speaker 1: team to knock them off?

519
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:19,680
Speaker 2: Oh?

520
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:24,360
Speaker 1: My God, I find that fascinating. But I also love

521
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 1: this because I like seeing like fresh blood in there,

522
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:31,199
Speaker 1: new teams, new styles. So I got no issues with

523
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:33,399
Speaker 1: it either. And like I mean, like we're looking at

524
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 1: teams here, like Indiana Pacers have never won a title.

525
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:39,200
Speaker 1: Knicks haven't won one since seventy three. I mean, okay,

526
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:42,919
Speaker 1: the Pacers won in the ABA, but never an NBA title. Pacers,

527
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:48,160
Speaker 1: excuse me, Nicks seventies. That's a long ass time ago

528
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:50,480
Speaker 1: before I was born for crying out loud and I'm old.

529
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:54,919
Speaker 1: And then the Wolves no, and then Thunder no, unless

530
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 1: you count the Sonics, which was like again the seventies,

531
00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 1: and then who am I forgetting? Okay, the Nuggets the

532
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:02,680
Speaker 1: one team that is like actually won and they might

533
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:06,000
Speaker 1: lose on Sunday, So I love that. I don't know,

534
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:07,719
Speaker 1: but what's your opinion on it.

535
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 2: I'm exactly the same because I just love basketball, so

536
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:13,680
Speaker 2: I'm here for whatever. But yeah, I think it's cool.

537
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:15,560
Speaker 2: But you hear I hear it all the time, Like

538
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:17,160
Speaker 2: if I go to the gym, they're like, oh man,

539
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:20,880
Speaker 2: I wish that we had this. I'm like, weren't you

540
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 2: just complaining about this? A couple of years ago.

541
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:26,160
Speaker 1: I just think, oh gee, people complaining about the opposite.

542
00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:27,560
Speaker 1: What an incredible thing.

543
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:31,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, but anyways, who do you who would you want

544
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:34,960
Speaker 2: to see win? Say the Nuggets lose Sunday, right, who

545
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 2: is the guy You're like, oh my gosh, they get

546
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:38,919
Speaker 2: to win a chip. Like, I've been thinking a lot

547
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:40,960
Speaker 2: about this. I don't know who I want to win more.

548
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:44,880
Speaker 2: You got Shay, you got Aunt, you got Jalen Brunson,

549
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:47,960
Speaker 2: and you got Halliburton. And I feel like all those guys,

550
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:50,960
Speaker 2: people love them. I would love to see any one

551
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:53,520
Speaker 2: of them win a ring, But I don't know if

552
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 2: there's one that's like right above the other ones, you.

553
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 1: Know, I mean, I guess I'll uh, I'll play the

554
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:01,680
Speaker 1: Homer card, the Canadian flag, get it waven for Shay,

555
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:05,600
Speaker 1: Like I mean, I'm team Shay, No doubt. It would

556
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:08,200
Speaker 1: be cool for him to Obviously, you know, Nash could

557
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 1: never do that, right, Like, He's gonna win MVP and

558
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:13,960
Speaker 1: Nash did it twice. Incredible, like amazing that a Canadian

559
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:15,680
Speaker 1: won it back to back, but he never could get

560
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:17,920
Speaker 1: the ring. So that would be wow. Imagine he wins

561
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:21,359
Speaker 1: MVP and the ring. That's cool, Okay, Aunt. That's awesome.

562
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:25,000
Speaker 1: We're often running with AUNT, like you said. And then

563
00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:27,679
Speaker 1: these teams in the East, like they're they're like they

564
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:30,119
Speaker 1: they feel like two teams like of destiny to me,

565
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 1: like the way they win these games, the like the

566
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:35,960
Speaker 1: stretches they've gone on. I like how they play, like

567
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:40,040
Speaker 1: how hard they both play. Yeah, I honestly feel like

568
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:42,040
Speaker 1: I can't go wrong. And then of course if the

569
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:44,560
Speaker 1: Nuggets make it, I mean sure, yeah, Like that's awesome too, Yo,

570
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:46,320
Speaker 1: could you get another one? That'd be amazing, Jamal get

571
00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 1: another one? Yeah, this is good. It's like like, okay,

572
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:56,000
Speaker 1: here's the problem. Get ready for rating suck rating suck.

573
00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:56,199
Speaker 2: Now.

574
00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:57,720
Speaker 1: I don't even know if that'll be the case, but

575
00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:01,600
Speaker 1: we're gonna have. Like we're looking at remove the Knicks.

576
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:05,480
Speaker 1: We're looking at potentially small market teams. Yeah, very small

577
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:08,880
Speaker 1: market teams. So you know, sure the Knicks being there

578
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:12,199
Speaker 1: would be huge for numbers, that'd be great, but like,

579
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:15,720
Speaker 1: uh no, I wouldn't be upset with anybody winning at all.

580
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:17,880
Speaker 1: I like all four of these five of these teams

581
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:20,720
Speaker 1: still remaining, and they all have cool narratives, and like

582
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:23,520
Speaker 1: I said, like they're looking for either their first one

583
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:26,400
Speaker 1: ever or first one in a goddamn long time. Yeah,

584
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 1: which is always cool, Which is always cool for like

585
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:29,639
Speaker 1: those fan bases.

586
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I think my last note with that

587
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:34,480
Speaker 2: is just, uh, this might be one of the rare

588
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 2: times in NBA history, Like there's there's no like villain.

589
00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 2: I feel like, I feel like all these teams are

590
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 2: kind of liked. Like I guess the most villainous team

591
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 2: might be the Knicks, just because they're the Knicks. But

592
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:47,360
Speaker 2: at the same time, people love the Knicks right now,

593
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 2: like they're kind of an underdog in a way, and

594
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:53,480
Speaker 2: the Pacers are and the Timberwolves are like even the

595
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:56,320
Speaker 2: Thunder they gripe about Shade getting to the free the line.

596
00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:59,679
Speaker 2: But there's still a young, like lovable team. There's no Ah, Man,

597
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:01,760
Speaker 2: I don't want this guy to win. There's no none

598
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 2: of that, you know what I mean.

599
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:05,480
Speaker 1: No, I don't think there is. I mean, I'm sure, yeah,

600
00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:07,879
Speaker 1: people rank them in a particular order or yeah, you

601
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:10,399
Speaker 1: don't like Caliburton or you don't like Shay or whatever,

602
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:12,960
Speaker 1: but I'm with you. Yeah, But again, I think that

603
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:15,960
Speaker 1: just speaks to like they have never won or haven't

604
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:19,159
Speaker 1: won forever, so like they're almost all underdogs in a

605
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:23,359
Speaker 1: weird way. Yeah, and yeah, it won't really matter who wins,

606
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:25,480
Speaker 1: like it'll be pretty cool hopefully, just get great series

607
00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:27,919
Speaker 1: and competitive games and like, I mean these these like

608
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:31,680
Speaker 1: this was a stinker tonight, but we've had some awesome,

609
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:34,560
Speaker 1: awesome playoff games through these first two rounds that are

610
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:38,000
Speaker 1: now wrapping up on Sunday. Like I'm always like, it's

611
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:41,320
Speaker 1: imp I always look at NBA playoff seasons or seasons

612
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:43,800
Speaker 1: in general. It's like it's like watching a Survivor season.

613
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:46,200
Speaker 1: For me, it's like I'm loving it in the moment,

614
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:48,240
Speaker 1: and then as soon as it's done, it's like I

615
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:50,600
Speaker 1: forget half of it or ninety.

616
00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:50,880
Speaker 2: Percent of it.

617
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 1: But it does feel like these first two rounds have

618
00:28:56,600 --> 00:29:00,280
Speaker 1: been better than most first two rounds over the last decade. Now,

619
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:02,480
Speaker 1: I have no idea if that's actually true, but I

620
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:02,960
Speaker 1: think it is.

621
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:06,040
Speaker 2: It feels like it feels like such a great playoffs

622
00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:07,800
Speaker 2: so far. And I keep saying it to everybody. They're like,

623
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 2: there's been a lot of blows I'm like, yeah, but

624
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:11,960
Speaker 2: besides that, it's been really good basketball.

625
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I think there's been less blowouts than there

626
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:15,680
Speaker 1: normally actually is.

627
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:17,040
Speaker 2: But yeah, a couple of years ago, there was like

628
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:21,000
Speaker 2: so many blow us. I remember, sometimes we.

629
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:24,320
Speaker 1: Get those years where it's like super top heavy, and

630
00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 1: it's just like it almost feels like a waste to

631
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 1: have a first round. It's like all right, all right,

632
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:30,720
Speaker 1: all right, let's just jump ahead to the conference finals.

633
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:33,080
Speaker 1: They're definitely those years where it feels like there's four

634
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:35,120
Speaker 1: or five teams that are just like way better. But

635
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:38,120
Speaker 1: look what's happened here. Sixty win, sixty one win Boston

636
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:43,280
Speaker 1: team gone, sixty four win, Calves team gone, potentially sixty

637
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:46,360
Speaker 1: eight win Thunder team could be out on Sunday, right,

638
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:49,520
Speaker 1: I mean, so like I get this parody is for real,

639
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 1: Like these these that's why we're seeing all these like

640
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:54,880
Speaker 1: I mean, they're all like they all feel like are

641
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:57,360
Speaker 1: fifty win teams. They're all like in this ballpark, I know,

642
00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:00,360
Speaker 1: besides okay, see or like leaps and bounds better with

643
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:02,120
Speaker 1: the regular season record, but everybody else in the same

644
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:05,000
Speaker 1: ballpark at least so good, so good. So we do

645
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:07,400
Speaker 1: have some news actually about Sunday's game. Just before we

646
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 1: go here, this sucks. Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon has been

647
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:15,600
Speaker 1: diagnosed with a left hamstring strain. Status is in doubt

648
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 1: for Game seven against OKC on Sunday afternoon. This like

649
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:24,920
Speaker 1: we talked about it on today's show. You saw him

650
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:27,560
Speaker 1: do it, you saw him pull up, he grabbed it.

651
00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 1: He played for a little bit longer at the end,

652
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:32,440
Speaker 1: then they took him off. He said he was gonna

653
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:35,479
Speaker 1: be fine. Adaalvin wasn't sure. He sort of downplayed it.

654
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:37,880
Speaker 1: We'll see, we have an extra day of rest all that.

655
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:40,840
Speaker 1: But then this is what Seams is reporting, is this

656
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 1: gamesmanship from the Nuggets at all. It sure looked like

657
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 1: he pulled his hamstring or at least tweaked it. Yeah,

658
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 1: but I don't know this guy. My gut says he's

659
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:53,960
Speaker 1: gonna give it a go, just like Jamal Murray did

660
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:55,840
Speaker 1: being sick in Game six. He still goes.

661
00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:56,520
Speaker 2: So I don't know.

662
00:30:56,880 --> 00:30:58,840
Speaker 1: I mean, just hopefully he's not limited to the point

663
00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 1: where he can't even move out there. And then they

664
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:02,800
Speaker 1: have to pull him out because they got a Shello

665
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:04,480
Speaker 1: teamsh so they need it.

666
00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:07,600
Speaker 2: Recorded they definitely need him. And so like this is

667
00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:10,520
Speaker 2: a strain his hamstring, right, what.

668
00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:11,360
Speaker 1: They're calling it, I believe.

669
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:14,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, So what was what was Curry's I mean ham

670
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:17,360
Speaker 2: string strain? Exactly. So, yeah, Steph Curry is out for

671
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:20,480
Speaker 2: an entire series, but he's he's like, maybe I can go.

672
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:23,600
Speaker 2: I don't know. And ham strings are so tricky. You

673
00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:25,840
Speaker 2: hear him talk about it all the time. You never

674
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:28,080
Speaker 2: know exactly how it's going to be. I don't know.

675
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:30,400
Speaker 2: Like they definitely need him. I don't know if he

676
00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:32,120
Speaker 2: can go out there and play on one leg or what.

677
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:34,320
Speaker 2: But that's tough. That's a tough blow.

678
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:36,800
Speaker 1: They need him so much. I mean, he has been

679
00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:40,520
Speaker 1: a force during this postseason offensively, where he's averaging like

680
00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:43,560
Speaker 1: seventeen and seven, had a lot of assists in the

681
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:46,280
Speaker 1: last game, even in the the no that was the win.

682
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:48,240
Speaker 1: Of course, he had a lot of sist in Game six.

683
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 1: And then he's got the pair of game winning shots

684
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:53,600
Speaker 1: this postseason where he had the game winning dunk or

685
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:56,720
Speaker 1: I guess it was a sort of an lu, but

686
00:31:56,760 --> 00:31:58,440
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, in Game four against the Clippers.

687
00:31:58,440 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 1: Then he had the three pointer in Game one against

688
00:31:59,920 --> 00:32:02,920
Speaker 1: the Thunder with three seconds ago. And that's great. The

689
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:06,000
Speaker 1: offense is great. I'm more worried about them defensively. He

690
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 1: is so important part of their zone. Obviously, his movement,

691
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:13,120
Speaker 1: his athleticism, So like you remove him, like you better

692
00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:15,160
Speaker 1: get the if he can't play or is he's limited,

693
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:18,320
Speaker 1: you better get the greatest like either Michael Porter Junior

694
00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:20,840
Speaker 1: game or Peyton Watson game of all time, because that's

695
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:22,880
Speaker 1: like sort of has to fill the vacuum if there,

696
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:24,400
Speaker 1: if AG is limited or can't play.

697
00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:26,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know you can't really bet on that, Like

698
00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:28,000
Speaker 2: Michael Porter Junior right now, Man.

699
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:28,720
Speaker 1: Banged up too.

700
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:31,520
Speaker 2: He's so banged up. And then like if AG's not there,

701
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:32,800
Speaker 2: like you're saying, you're gonna have to play one of

702
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:34,560
Speaker 2: those two guys or Westbrook more minutes.

703
00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:41,080
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, oh yeah yeah, So like full full aid,

704
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:43,240
Speaker 1: full health of AG or not. It was always gonna

705
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:45,160
Speaker 1: be it's gonna be tough to go win in OKAYC

706
00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:47,680
Speaker 1: there in game seven, but like, man, remove him from

707
00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:50,800
Speaker 1: the equation, and I don't like their chances. I mean

708
00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 1: I was already taking OKAYC and this I think, you know,

709
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:55,000
Speaker 1: just sort of drives home that point. But who knows.

710
00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:59,120
Speaker 1: I mean that's what yokichin Jamal Murray want. Yeah, Okay,

711
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:02,640
Speaker 1: bet against us, Betman, all we do is game sevens,

712
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:05,560
Speaker 1: that's all we do. If this will be their seventh

713
00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:08,600
Speaker 1: Game seven, and I think I read something like the

714
00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:13,240
Speaker 1: Thunder combined their entire roster have maybe played in a

715
00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:14,960
Speaker 1: total of three game sevens.

716
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:15,800
Speaker 2: That's insane.

717
00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:20,120
Speaker 1: But this will be Jamal and Jokich's seventh game seven separately.

718
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:22,640
Speaker 2: Both of them they're made for game sevens.

719
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:24,560
Speaker 1: They're made for game sevens. They're made for game sevens,

720
00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:25,960
Speaker 1: and they got a four and two records, so they're

721
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:28,040
Speaker 1: pretty good in them as well. So can't wait for Sunday.

722
00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:30,920
Speaker 1: But we'll be back on Monday to talk about that

723

00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:44,640

Speaker 1: giving us a Game seven baby, and it's gonna be
