Speaker 1: The volume. What's up, everybody, Welcome back to the Draymond
Speaker 1: Green Show. That Eastern Conference Finals are still going, and
Speaker 1: so here we are. I text Jackson like, you know,
Speaker 1: Boston like Boston, and Jackson text me back talking shit like,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, you shouldn't have let us get one. And
Speaker 1: he's like listening to Jaylen Brown and Marcus Smart talking
Speaker 1: their mantra like don't let us get one. Gotta get
Speaker 1: those guys credit though they said don't let us get one,
Speaker 1: and they got that one, and listen, I'm never gonna
Speaker 1: be one of those guys that's like flip flopping back
Speaker 1: and forth. I said, Boston's losing. I'm standing on that.
Speaker 1: But here's what I will tell you. I will break
Speaker 1: down the psyche for you as we get into this
Speaker 1: and like just how this problem it will play out.
Speaker 2: But no, and don't get it twisted.
Speaker 1: You're not gonna look on your TV screen, on your
Speaker 1: computer screen wherever you check your news out at your
Speaker 1: phone and be like, oh man, what Draymond was one
Speaker 1: of those guys that was saying we he was gonna lose,
Speaker 1: and then the next game he said that, ain't me,
Speaker 1: y'all know, I stand on everything that I say, So
Speaker 1: I'm still standing on it.
Speaker 2: Boston should be done. But now let's talk about it.
Speaker 1: Jason Tatum has looked like Jason Tatum and Boston has
Speaker 1: found themselves. Grant Williams went to Miami and redeemed himself.
Speaker 1: I give credit where credit is due. I laughed at
Speaker 1: Grant Williams. I told y'all, Grant Williams got embarrassed and
Speaker 1: destroyed and called for his mom and dad's help and
Speaker 1: all of that.
Speaker 2: And like, again, I'm never not standing on that.
Speaker 1: You can't get dropped off like Grant Williams did and
Speaker 1: start talking about your moral code that your mom and
Speaker 1: your dad instilled in you. That's just like, hey man,
Speaker 1: it all went wrong, and like I gotta go back
Speaker 1: to everything that I've known since a kid. So that's
Speaker 1: still hilarious to me. And like I said, know that
Speaker 1: I'm not flipping on anything I say. I stand on
Speaker 1: what I say, and so that's that. Now let's really
Speaker 1: discuss this though. JT twenty one, eleven assists, eight rebounds,
Speaker 1: Jaylen Brown twenty one, Derek White twenty four, Marcus Smart
Speaker 1: twenty three. That is a recipe for disaster. You're letting
Speaker 1: all of these guys get off, not one big now,
Speaker 1: one guy has a huge night, although twenty one and
Speaker 1: eleven is a huge night, but not a huge scoring night.
Speaker 2: And you know you're going to allow those guys to
Speaker 2: do that.
Speaker 1: And that is it's just trouble because that what that
Speaker 1: means is what we discussed before, which when Boston the
Speaker 1: ball tends to stop, and when it stops, Boston gets
Speaker 1: in trouble. They got in trouble last year against US
Speaker 1: in the finals. They've gotten in trouble the first three
Speaker 1: games of this series when the ball just stops and
Speaker 1: they tend to struggle.
Speaker 2: When that happens.
Speaker 1: Twenty one, twenty one, twenty four, and twenty three means
Speaker 1: the ball didn't stop. And if the ball don't stop,
Speaker 1: Miami's not allowed to muck the game up. They're not
Speaker 1: allowed to grab a hold and be physical. You're now
Speaker 1: playing in space. The ball's moving, it's hopping, Guys are
Speaker 1: shooting the three, and it's tough to cover, it's tough
Speaker 1: to guard.
Speaker 2: And that's what makes Boston Boston.
Speaker 1: Al Horford's three point shot has re emerged, and you're
Speaker 1: playing with fire if you're Miami. So Harr's the psyche, right, Like,
Speaker 1: if you're Boston, you're like, all right, we gotta get one.
Speaker 1: They go get the one. You go back home in
Speaker 1: game five. If you're Miami and you're going to Boston
Speaker 1: in game five, you gotta come out right away and
Speaker 1: try to smack them boys, Like, yo, y'all going back home.
Speaker 1: Y'all gonna expect that you're just gonna go home and
Speaker 1: win because you're at home, and we not buying that
Speaker 1: were coming out, we rolling gay Vincent being out I
Speaker 1: think definitely hurts Miami gave. Vince has been playing extremely well.
Speaker 1: But injuries are part of it. We've discussed that before.
Speaker 1: The healthiest team anytime you're gonna win anything, don't ever
Speaker 1: get it twisted. You need a little bit of luck,
Speaker 1: and so injuries are part of it. That's the luck.
Speaker 1: Sometimes you the luck is on your side. Sometimes it's not.
Speaker 1: I've been on both sides of that. So Miami, you
Speaker 1: gotta come out and make a savment. By the way,
Speaker 1: even if you don't win game five, you gotta come
Speaker 1: out and let them guys know, all right, y'all want one,
Speaker 1: but we're here and that did not happen. Miami got
Speaker 1: destroyed from the beginning of the game to the end
Speaker 1: of the game, which was a tough one.
Speaker 2: Now you're going back to game six, and.
Speaker 1: I'm not one that's gonna say all the pressure is
Speaker 1: on Miami, Like, yeah, it's pressure, like you're trying to
Speaker 1: get to the NBA Finals.
Speaker 2: Of course it's pressure. But like, they go win game six,
Speaker 2: game this, Game six is game seven. No the hell
Speaker 2: is not.
Speaker 1: Game seven is game seven, and game sevens take on
Speaker 1: a life of their own. Game seven is a fucking
Speaker 1: coin flip. It can go either way. So no, I'm
Speaker 1: not the guy. I'm not gonna Oh, well, they gotta
Speaker 1: win game six because this is their game seven.
Speaker 2: No the hell is not.
Speaker 1: Game seven is game seven, and game seven produces goosebumps
Speaker 1: for guys. A lot of guys don't show up in
Speaker 1: game sevens, So don't give me the whole. If they
Speaker 1: don't win game six, it's over now. Quite frankly, if
Speaker 1: you're Boston, you like, we go get game six, that's
Speaker 1: it a rap. If I'm Boston, if I'm on that team,
Speaker 1: I'm already thinking, like, these guys done, we got them,
Speaker 1: we got them, They done?
Speaker 2: They toast?
Speaker 1: Is that the case Boston and should think so, but
Speaker 1: I don't think so because I'm gonna stand on what
Speaker 1: I said.
Speaker 2: So Miami need to go back home. They need to
Speaker 2: get it done.
Speaker 1: They got to take the three away, and they got
Speaker 1: to stop turning the ball over. They didn't turn the
Speaker 1: ball over at all in three games. So listen, you
Speaker 1: turn the ball over against the Boston self as good luck.
Speaker 2: It's two or three points.
Speaker 1: Got super young, super athletic, They super fast, getting up
Speaker 1: and down the floor.
Speaker 2: Shoot the lights out the ball. It's over.
Speaker 1: So number one, Miami has to stop turning the ball
Speaker 1: over like they're driving in the They're driving into the
Speaker 1: teeth of Boston's defense, trying to like make big, like
Speaker 1: close proximity passes. They're getting deflected in Boston's off to
Speaker 1: the races, driving into a crowd.
Speaker 2: It's just not working. So the tie has totally flipped.
Speaker 1: First it was Boston driving into the crowd and turning
Speaker 1: the ball over, Miami taking advantage of it from the
Speaker 1: late second quarter, early third, started third in Game four.
Speaker 1: Miami has been turned the ball over ever since, has
Speaker 1: not gotten a grip on it, has not pulled it
Speaker 1: back in. But Miami, they're winners Championship culture. I expect
Speaker 1: them to figure that out. I expect them to fix that.
Speaker 1: Gabe Vincent being available will be a Hughes fixed. And
Speaker 1: you know, Kyle Lowry is due for a big game.
Speaker 1: Kyle Larry come out. He'll struggle a couple of games
Speaker 1: in the playoff series, Kyle Larry come out and all
Speaker 1: of a sudden have thirty points in the first half.
Speaker 1: Take it from me, I've seen it before in the
Speaker 1: Game six. So we talk about Game six, Clay. Let's
Speaker 1: talk about Game six, Kyle. They gonna need a big
Speaker 1: game from Kyle Lowry, a really big game. Miami Boston
Speaker 1: has made it this decision, and they've made it very clear.
Speaker 2: We will not let Jimmy Butler beat us.
Speaker 1: We're not going to allow Jimmy to control the pace
Speaker 1: of the entire game and let them beat us. Me personally,
Speaker 1: I know Jimmy is still capable of it, but that's
Speaker 1: the decision they've made. In turn, someone else has to
Speaker 1: step up, and I think it needs to be kyl Larry.
Speaker 2: They need a big game for Bam.
Speaker 1: Bam has to stay aggressive as he's been the entire series,
Speaker 1: well really the entire playoffs. And especially the first three series.
Speaker 1: Of the first three games of this series, they need
Speaker 1: an aggressive BAM. That's the only way they can score
Speaker 1: and produce enough points. It's the only way they can win.
Speaker 1: So BAM has to be extremely aggressive. Jimmy's going to
Speaker 1: do what Jimmy do. Like Kyle Larry. They need a
Speaker 1: big game from Kyle Larry, and you need either Duncan
Speaker 1: or Caleb Martin to have.
Speaker 2: A big game.
Speaker 1: You do that, Miami closes this series and sick and
Speaker 1: move on. But I don't think Boston feel that way.
Speaker 1: I know Boston don't feel that way. Boston smelled blood.
Speaker 1: You can see it in their eyes. They smell blood.
Speaker 1: They joking all of a sudden, it's this is that
Speaker 1: is rock paper scissors? After the game in the locker room,
Speaker 1: it's all of the stuff, like they smell blood.
Speaker 2: Can they close the deal? I don't know, man.
Speaker 1: Just a reminder, you can catch me recording this podcast
Speaker 1: live on amp. Amp is a new live radio app
Speaker 1: that lets you call in and chat with me in
Speaker 1: person while I'm recording. Get the app on Apple's app
Speaker 1: store and make sure to follow me at at Draymond
Speaker 1: Green to get notified when I go live.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: First time from three to zero, that's an interesting one.
Speaker 1: That's an interesting one. First time, first team to come
Speaker 1: back from a three to zero deficit. We would love
Speaker 1: to see it.
Speaker 2: With me.
Speaker 1: Maybe I won't have to hear about three to one
Speaker 1: anymore if this team comes back from three to oh, like,
Speaker 1: you can throw the three to one in the dirt, like,
Speaker 1: forget about it. I'm sick of it, and like talk
Speaker 1: about three oh it would be a much better story
Speaker 1: for me personally to hear, be a much better story.
Speaker 1: But then saying that Miami's going home to close it
Speaker 1: out in Game six and moving on to the NBA Finals.
Speaker 1: As I told y'all before, y'all should see Jackson's face
Speaker 1: when I say that. It goes from this huge smile
Speaker 1: to like, immediately start Look, but Jackson's feeling themselves. Jackson,
Speaker 1: you feel yourself high.
Speaker 3: I am man, I'm not pressed by and by you
Speaker 3: taking you taking the heat's keep the hate coming, keep
Speaker 3: the hate coming. It's been a lot of hate for
Speaker 3: a week and a half. Now feel like the Celtics
Speaker 3: are playing with house money a little bit.
Speaker 2: I feel good.
Speaker 1: Well, first off, I have no reason to hate on
Speaker 1: the Celtics. I beat the Celtics in the NBA Finals,
Speaker 1: so you will never get it.
Speaker 3: Like you remind me of that once a week, so
Speaker 3: I know.
Speaker 2: And JT my my dog, my brother always rooted for JT.
Speaker 1: So but Bam is my brother too, so you know
Speaker 1: it's a tough one. But I'm always rooting for JT.
Speaker 1: So it won't be no hate. But since you be that,
Speaker 1: you say hate, was it not deserved?
Speaker 3: It was absolutely deserved. It was absolutely deserved. They the
Speaker 3: first two games the Celtics like played okay and just lost.
Speaker 3: They got beat. They just turned up, got beat.
Speaker 2: By Jimmy Butler.
Speaker 3: Game three was without question embarrassing. Jalen Brown said it,
Speaker 3: and the presser you said it. Everyone said it, and.
Speaker 2: Everyone was right.
Speaker 3: It was embarrassing. They quit every adjective you want to.
Speaker 1: Use justify respect. So in saying that, it's not hate,
Speaker 1: it's the truth. And I'm a guy who gives credit
Speaker 1: where credit is due. They've responded, give you take your
Speaker 1: hat off to the celtsis there responded, but y'all go
Speaker 1: out here and lose this game six, puts your hat
Speaker 1: back on, because none of that shit matters. If you
Speaker 1: go out and you lose Game six, all right, great
Speaker 1: you didn't get swept, all right, you you took it
Speaker 1: to six.
Speaker 2: No one cares. Boston is a team that a lot
Speaker 2: of people pick.
Speaker 1: The win of NBA Finals this year. I don't care
Speaker 1: who you lose to or when you lose. If you lose,
Speaker 1: you lose, and that's that. So let's see if Boston
Speaker 1: can get it done.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I think no moral victories. It's a weird series because
Speaker 3: this Celtics, I forget they said the exact number on
Speaker 3: the broadcast, have won going back to this series and
Speaker 3: as well as last year as Conference finals, have won
Speaker 3: like four the last five in Miami, but they've also
Speaker 3: lost like four of the last seven at home. So
Speaker 3: like you feel like they're confident going in game six,
Speaker 3: but the in game seven. It's weird. It's a weird. It's
Speaker 3: so weird. Such a weird mini rivalry these teams.
Speaker 2: Have right now. Well, here's what I will tell you.
Speaker 2: As a player.
Speaker 1: You're never walking in like, oh man, I think we've
Speaker 1: lost four of the last five here, you know, like
Speaker 1: that's not your mindset that should be so far Like
Speaker 1: that's like media talking stuff.
Speaker 2: Like you just don't.
Speaker 1: You never think that, and so I know that won't
Speaker 1: be Boston's mindset going into Game six is like, oh man,
Speaker 1: like we won for a last five, we should be
Speaker 1: good here.
Speaker 2: That shouldn't be the mindset. I don't think it will
Speaker 2: be the mindset.
Speaker 1: I think Boston's mindset is just going, like we're going
Speaker 1: in here, We're going to take another one. Now here's
Speaker 1: the tricky part before we get out of here. Where
Speaker 1: Miami really messed up is that you never wanted to
Speaker 1: allow Boston to see a win because Boston is the
Speaker 1: better team, like more talent, like you name it. They
Speaker 1: got more star power, checks the box at every position
Speaker 1: like Boston the bench, Like Boston is the more talented team.
Speaker 1: I can't necessarily say better team because but they should
Speaker 1: be better and like they're the more talented team.
Speaker 2: So if you're.
Speaker 1: Miami, you never really needed to allow them or wanted
Speaker 1: them to see one win because once they see that,
Speaker 1: the confidence changes and they're more talented and possibly better anyway.
Speaker 2: So now that's what we're seeing.
Speaker 1: It's like now Boston has confidence, Miami's confidence, although they
Speaker 1: say it's not, it's a little shaken, like it's a
Speaker 1: little shaking that's taking a hit now.
Speaker 2: So the bravado that you had, you needed to close it.
Speaker 1: Can't mess around in these series, So Miami gotta come
Speaker 1: out and close it in game six, and I think
Speaker 1: they're gonna do it. By the way, I'm just telling
Speaker 1: y'all right now, if before we get out of here,
Speaker 1: if Boston win, don't expect to talk to me or
Speaker 1: hear from me after game six. Not that I care
Speaker 1: that they won, because you guys like to create these nerrors.
Speaker 1: I don't give a damn if they one or whatever.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna enjoy my weekend and then I'll talk to
Speaker 1: you like before game seven or after game seven.
Speaker 2: Will make that decision when it's time.
Speaker 1: But yeah, no, I won't be talking to you after
Speaker 1: game six, win or loss. By the way, Miami win,
Speaker 1: I won't be talking to you after game six a
Speaker 1: little like a few days a couple of days later,
Speaker 1: Boston win, I won't be talking to you after game six,
Speaker 1: So don't even start your narrative. That's a wrap from
Speaker 1: this episode of Draymond Green Show. Until next time.
Speaker 2: Pe
