31
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 1: you go first because our guys, the Beantown Boys, the

32
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 1: Lobster Legends, they did the Immediate React podcast last night.

33
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 1: So Task. The Celtics beat the Warriors one sixteen to

34
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 1: one hundred. They take the two to one lead here

35
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 1: in the NBA Finals. What jumped out to you last

36
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 1: night in Game three?

37
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:17,520
Speaker 2: Well, Celtics jumped out to a great start, responded really

38
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:20,359
Speaker 2: well after being out played in Game two, mainly Jalen

39
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 2: Brown in that first quarter he was monstrous some good

40
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 2: space in for the Celtics. The Warriors I think were

41
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 2: pretty slow to close that space and then Jalen Brown

42
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 2: took advantage. He was so in control, never getting too

43
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:36,919
Speaker 2: deep into traffic, taking his time, the drives, the threes.

44
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 2: He just couldn't be stopped. He had Gary Payton saying

45
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 2: no king way, no king way after he hit a

46
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 2: three over him. Don't or I won't swear. I'm not

47
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:47,920
Speaker 2: like the no fay bull in there. No, no, no,

48
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 2: I wouldn't do that. But Jallen Brown seventeen points, three

49
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 2: assists to start this game, score or assisted on twenty

50
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,919
Speaker 2: four points there in the first quarter. On those seventeen

51
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,360
Speaker 2: points and three assists in the queue, so the Celts

52
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:02,800
Speaker 2: up eleven after one. Then Jason Tatum started rolling. He

53
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 2: was finding that Curry matchup. In the second quarter, the

54
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:08,639
Speaker 2: Celtics were ten of fourteen on field goal attempts when

55
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 2: they targeted Curry, which is a big, big number. Now,

56
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 2: Warriors fans will say, oh, Steph got into foul trouble

57
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 2: because of a bad whistle. Now, there were some bad

58
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,080
Speaker 2: calls on Steph. I totally agree. You almost have to

59
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 2: admire some of the flopping by the Celtics, like Derek

60
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 2: White going horizontal on the third foul when Steph touched

61
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 2: his arm trying to get Steph's foul. Third foul and

62
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 2: it worked. But just like Game two, I don't think

63
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 2: it was the bad whistle that won or lost this game.

64
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 2: The Celtics got a bad whistle in Game two, but

65
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 2: that wasn't the difference. I think the Warriors got a

66
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 2: bad whistle here in Game three, but that's because the

67
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 2: Celtics were freaking bringing it and they were able to

68
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 2: get the calls because they were the more physical team.

69
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 2: So what it actually was was the Celtics getting after

70
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 2: it on the glass. Fifteen offensive rebounds, fifteen grabbing forty

71
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 2: percent of their miss is that's a ridiculous number. I

72
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 2: know people were watching this game saying, oh, the Celtics

73
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 2: are bigger, more athletic, but that's not what happened in

74
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 2: Game one and Game two. The Warriors did a way

75
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 2: better job seven and six offensive rebounds in the first

76
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 2: couple games. But you got to think, as we go forward,

77
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:17,599
Speaker 2: here are the Celtics wearing the Warriors out to some degree.

78
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:19,359
Speaker 2: We saw it in the finals last year when the

79
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 2: Bucks were able to overcome the Suns. But still we

80
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 2: were all watching for the third quarter, right we were

81
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 2: all just waiting to see, well, are the Warriors going

82
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 2: to do this? Thing, and even though the Celtics got

83
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 2: up as many as eighteen, the Warriors were able to

84
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 2: take a one point lead in the third quarter. But

85
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 2: there were too many lousy possessions. As I was saying

86
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 2: about the offensive rebounding, like they just allowed the Celtics

87
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:43,480
Speaker 2: to get open shots. The Celtics had a three on

88
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 2: five at one point because not everybody was pushing it

89
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 2: up the floor, and we're still able to get a

90
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,719
Speaker 2: wide open three from Grant Williams with a minute left

91
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 2: in that third quarter while the Warriors were trying to

92
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 2: make that push. I don't know how you get an

93
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 2: open three when you're three on five. Just a huge

94
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 2: flub there. There's so many flubs I think from the

95
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 2: Warriors in the third quarter. The Warriors had that instance

96
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 2: where Draymond Green lost the ball on the offensive end,

97
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:07,160
Speaker 2: it went out of bounds, Horford steps out, gets the

98
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:08,839
Speaker 2: ball from the referee and still is able to throw

99
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 2: a seventy foot pass to Jalen Brown for a score.

100
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:12,919
Speaker 2: I think they were just getting beat down the floor.

101
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,160
Speaker 2: So even though they won the third quarter by eight points,

102
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 2: continuing this trend, it could have been way more so

103
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:23,039
Speaker 2: the Warriors. Yeah, it could have been up going into

104
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,479
Speaker 2: the fourth, but that's when the Celtics took it home

105
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 2: offensive rebounds, Jason Tatum really doing a good job, and

106
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 2: a lack of boxing out by the Warriors, and that

107
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 2: potentially got Curry hurt with two minutes left, they didn't

108
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 2: box out and that would be the end of the

109
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 2: series if Steph Curry was hurt. But as I show

110
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:43,599
Speaker 2: you here on the stream team, he had a little

111
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 2: sly smile after sitting down after that injury, so I

112
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 2: think he'll be fine for Game four. But they were

113
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 2: outplayed in this one. Despite Curry's thirty one plays, twenty

114
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 2: five and Andrew Wiggins eighteen. You should expect to win

115
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,279
Speaker 2: to get those numbers, but Brown, Tatum and Smart Beauty's

116
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 2: twenty seven six four. Draymond had a bad game. His

117
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 2: intensity was lacking, as he said on his podcast. I

118
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,479
Speaker 2: listened to a Draymond Green podcast today. We'll get into that.

119
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 2: But the Celtics were just tougher, absolutely just tougher in

120
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:11,239
Speaker 2: this one.

121
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,679
Speaker 1: One of my favorite discussions from the Immediate Reaction podcast

122
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 1: last night, guys, was you the two of you trying

123
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 1: to figure out the finals MVP votes for Game three

124
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,599
Speaker 1: and who played the best for the Celtics and you

125
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 1: guys were going back and forth. Was Tatums and Brown was.

126
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,719
Speaker 1: It's smart. I think you could even throw some love

127
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:32,279
Speaker 1: to Robert Williams, who I thought had an incredible game

128
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 1: for the Celtics, looking very spry with the four blocks,

129
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 1: three steals, eight points, ten boards. But it was toughly

130
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 1: right because you had four I mean really, Grant Williams

131
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 1: was great too. You have like five six Celtics contributing,

132
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 1: where you only had like two guys on the Warriors.

133
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,559
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I think because of the why the gang started,

134
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:51,839
Speaker 4: Jaylen Brown did get off to that incredible start. He

135
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:56,039
Speaker 4: was so aggressive early on knocking down shots and distributing

136
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 4: the ball well. But the reason I went with Jyson

137
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:00,279
Speaker 4: Titum in the end was because, and this what I

138
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:02,360
Speaker 4: did mention on the show last night. I really liked

139
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:04,839
Speaker 4: his leadership last night in that he knew he just

140
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,360
Speaker 4: had to maintain and stay involved in the offense, and

141
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 4: he was very aggressive. They kept driving into the paint

142
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 4: last night. A lot of like driving kick to the

143
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 4: corner or cross court passes as well, we noticed. But

144
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 4: most importantly, you want your star player to just be

145
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 4: continually involved. He doesn't have to score every time, he

146
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 4: doesn't have to shoot every time. But the Warriors had

147
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 4: to know that Jason Tatum was going to be involved

148
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 4: in the player a lot of time, and he often

149
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 4: attacked his defender, whoever that was. They went at steph

150
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 4: of course a lot. If it was Andrew Wiggins, he

151
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 4: went at him because he is the star player on

152
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 4: this team. He's an All NBA First Team player this season,

153
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 4: so you want to see him take it the step

154
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 4: up in those moments. Because that third quarter run did

155
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 4: come from the Warrior's tass mentioned there. They took the

156
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 4: lead there, and that was at a moment where it's like, oh,

157
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 4: maybe the Warriors, you know they're going to do this again.

158
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 4: They're going to steal this game and steal back home

159
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 4: court advantage. But I really liked the resiliency shown by

160
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 4: the Boston Celtics, and again led by their star player Tatum,

161
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 4: by just making sure that his team kept their composure.

162
00:07:58,040 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 4: They went on a nice run. I think they went

163
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 4: on about a two to wait run just after the

164
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 4: Warriors took the leak there, and he was instrumental in that,

165
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 4: so I think that's it. He hasn't had a huge

166
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 4: scoring series. He didn't score all that many in Game one,

167
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 4: but he had a lot of assists. Game two, he

168
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 4: had a good scoring game, but of course they got

169
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 4: blown out, so it didn't really matter. But I thought

170
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 4: last night, just his general sort of command of the

171
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 4: game and being where his team needed him to be

172
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 4: at the right time really stood out to me. So

173
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 4: Jason Brown's great. Marcus Smart was also brilliant. I mean,

174
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 4: this is a big difference here. Steph and Clay were

175
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 4: good for the Warriors, and that was really it. They

176
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 4: didn't get to I mean, Wiggins was fine, but he

177
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 4: wasn't all that good for the Celtics. They had multiple

178
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 4: contributors in different times of the game. And Robert Williams.

179
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 4: You've talked about him already. I thought his impact in

180
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:42,679
Speaker 4: his twenty six minutes was huge last night. He got

181
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:44,440
Speaker 4: the steals, he got the blocks, he got some oops,

182
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:47,679
Speaker 4: and his presence just contesting shots when he wasn't on

183
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 4: the court. A couple of times you could see the

184
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:51,680
Speaker 4: Warriors attack the paint there. They knew that it wasn't

185
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 4: quite the same without Williams there. But overall, this is

186
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 4: a very, very impressive victory here by Boston because teams

187
00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 4: often get off to a big, hot start. We know

188
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 4: a first quarters off lead doesn't mean anything in the NBI.

189
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 4: That happened last night. The Warriors pushed, but then the

190
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 4: Celtics really can't have punched, and I thought that was

191
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 4: really what de sawd at the game.

192
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 1: How loud was the TD guarded Trey?

193
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 5: Oh, it was Litzkeets. We were talking afterwards, ran into

194
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:18,960
Speaker 5: John Schumann, Mike Wright from NBA dot Com as well,

195
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 5: you know, outside of a Raptors game that Schumann pulled

196
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 5: from deep within the archives kind of a unanimous agreement

197
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:27,560
Speaker 5: that this might have been the allottest arena we had

198
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 5: been to. It was so loud, especially in the first half,

199
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 5: especially anytime Draymond got involved in any sort of skirmish.

200
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 5: The only time it quieted down a little was in

201
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 5: the third quarter when the Warriors went on their run,

202
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 5: had a seven point possession. People started getting a little

203
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:44,320
Speaker 5: nervous then, but shout out to the Celtics. They were

204
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:46,719
Speaker 5: able to respond to that, as they have been responding

205
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 5: to basically any sort of adversity since January. To be

206
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 5: able to bounce back from a seven point possession in

207
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,320
Speaker 5: the midst of a huge Warrior's run when you know

208
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 5: that that's kind of been the story of the series

209
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 5: so far. I thought that was super impressive.

210
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:03,680
Speaker 1: Tass, you said you listened to Draymond's podcast. Did he

211
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 1: explain why he played like garbage?

212
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 2: Yeah?

213
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 4: It was.

214
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 2: It was odd to hear Draymond say he kind of

215
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 2: got in his own head after game two. All the

216
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 2: talk was, ah, maybe he's, you know, ruffling other guys feathers,

217
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 2: maybe he's playing a little too aggressive or whatever people

218
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:22,840
Speaker 2: were saying, and he basically said, I just thought about

219
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 2: it too much for two days off in between games

220
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 2: two and three and then a nine pm start, there

221
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 2: was a lot of time to kind of get in

222
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 2: my own head, and he didn't bring the intensity yet.

223
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:35,199
Speaker 2: He just wasn't meet in the moment with any sort

224
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:39,080
Speaker 2: of intensity. One on one, late switches, rebounds, it was.

225
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:42,440
Speaker 2: It was a bad night for him overall, offensively and defensively.

226
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 2: So that's yeah.

227
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:45,679
Speaker 5: I think I think Draymond not playing a good game

228
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 5: is pretty much why the Warriors lost this one. We've

229
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 5: seen it before earlier in the playoffs, when he gets

230
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:53,440
Speaker 5: into like a big skirmish in one game he almost

231
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 5: goes too far in the other direction, you know, trying

232
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 5: to not make waves for any sort of extracurricular activity.

233
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 5: But he had more files than points, rebounds, assists. Robert

234
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:07,320
Speaker 5: Williams was just jumping over him for every offensive rebound.

235
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 5: The Celtics scored fifty two points in the paint. The

236
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 5: Warriors were just a little too scattershot. Like Lee mentioned,

237
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 5: the Celtics were clearly trying to find cross court passes

238
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:17,200
Speaker 5: and when they were doing that, they were getting open looks.

239
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 5: And then the defense is kind of all over the place,

240
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 5: which gives you huge offensive rebounding opportunities as well, which

241
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 5: the Celtics were able to cash in on. So Draymond

242
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 5: has to be obviously the warriors best defensive player, and

243
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 5: he didn't really bring much defensively last night, and then

244
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:33,560
Speaker 5: on the offense he did nothing, like not interested on

245
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 5: offense at all.

246
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought it was telling when I think it

247
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 1: was in the first quarter, Jalen Brown was going off,

248
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 1: like you said, Lee, Draymond blocked him and he had

249
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 1: some shit to say to him. And then the very

250
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 1: next possession, Jalen just went right at draymond left hand

251
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 1: layup just blew by him scored over him easy. I

252
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 1: was like, oh, yeah, we're not getting the an elite

253
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 1: Draymond Green game here on both ends. I'm with you, Trey.

254
00:11:57,679 --> 00:11:59,560
Speaker 1: I thought he was sort of like outclassed a lot

255
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 1: on the other where he's like usually gonna shut down guys.

256
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:05,680
Speaker 1: But the athleticism and the size was rearing its ugly

257
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 1: head here for the Celtics in both the Williams of

258
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:10,559
Speaker 1: course Al Horford and yeah, you said the point and

259
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 1: the paints differential fifty six to twenty six. I think

260
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 1: it was in the end task like, yeah, there was

261
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 1: Marcus Smart baskets where he was just like driving that

262
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 1: Steph Curry boom. Curry would bounce up. Now a lot

263
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 1: of it a little bit because of the foul trouble,

264
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 1: like Curry can't be playing just as aggressive defensively, but

265
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 1: he did that like three or four times Marcus Smart.

266
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 5: I thought, oh yeah, he was clearly going at Steph.

267
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:35,440
Speaker 5: And I mean I thought in the third quarter, I

268
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:37,079
Speaker 5: thought that was a big part of the reason that

269
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 5: the Warriors were able to make their run. It seemed

270
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 5: to me like Smart was intent on drawing a fourth

271
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,319
Speaker 5: file on Steph Curry and kind of went over the

272
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 5: edge a little bit with how he was playing, but

273
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 5: he rained it in the fourth quarter. There was so

274
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:50,959
Speaker 5: much more space in the fourth quarter for him to

275
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,200
Speaker 5: attack Curry. And then, like you're saying, kind of the

276
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 5: dagger of the game was when he bumps Curry inside

277
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:57,959
Speaker 5: and finishes with the little banker off the glass. Steph

278
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 5: wins and grabbing his ribs like I don't know, probably

279
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 5: has a deep bruise at the very least today. But

280
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:07,079
Speaker 5: the physicality that the Celtics brought was incredible, and after

281
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:09,200
Speaker 5: the way Game two went, that's exactly what they needed

282
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 5: to bounce back.

283
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:15,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're super flat on the Warriors side. For instance,

284
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 2: there was the drop off for Robert Williams in the

285
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 2: dunker spot where Draymond Green allowed him to chuck up

286
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 2: a six footer, which was the smart move, but then

287
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 2: Dramon Green just watched the rebound go right over his

288
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 2: head back to Robert Williams instead of boxing out. I mean,

289
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 2: he really did nothing for the three seconds after Robert

290
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 2: Williams let the ball go. So he was super flat

291
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 2: and the Warriors, yeah, did not meet the moment whatsoever.

292
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 2: And I know Trey mentioned the Steff getting banged up

293
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:47,560
Speaker 2: and bruised. He left the game after al Horford fell

294
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,200
Speaker 2: on his leg again another offensive rebound that no one

295
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:53,200
Speaker 2: boxed out on, so there was a scramble for the

296
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:59,280
Speaker 2: ball and Celtics fans, yeah, sorry, I should say Warriors

297
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 2: fans you know, look at it and say, oh, Steph

298
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 2: didn't go to the line enough and he had, you know,

299
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 2: crappy calls made on him and that's why it sort

300
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 2: of took him out of the game. And there were

301
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:13,320
Speaker 2: a couple bad ones for sure, like his first foul,

302
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:16,560
Speaker 2: he was kind of kind of bumping Jalen Brown. It was.

303
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 2: It was a real November seventh foul where he bumped

304
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 2: Jaalen Brown on a drive, a regular season foul where

305
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 2: they gave it to him. And then that white flop

306
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 2: I mentioned earlier, which was a bonkers one. Then he

307
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 2: reached in on Smart and Smart really sold it. So

308
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 2: bad calls for sure, but Steph was on I think,

309
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 2: I think if there's some good things to take for

310
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 2: the Warriors. I mean, that shot is money right now.

311
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 2: From three. He looks like he's just he looks like

312
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 2: he's short arming it. He's letting it go so fast.

313
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 2: But he was six of eleven from three and then

314
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 2: Klay Thompson able to finally get going here absolutely paying

315
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 2: off Steve Kerr's loyalty to him to have a twenty

316
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 2: five point night. It looked like Clay was going to

317
00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 2: have a bad night. Started oh of three. He was

318
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 2: really slow to defensively, like all the Warriors were in

319
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 2: trying to close those gaps. But he hit his fourth

320
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 2: shot and then got twenty five point nights, so that

321
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 2: boods well. But the Warriors can't think that they can

322
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 2: play six minutes and win this ballgame, and that's what happened.

323
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 1: You're surprised at all, Lee b By Kurves rotation or

324
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 1: who like played and didn't play in this game because

325
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 1: Luney only got seventeen minutes, and we talked about them

326
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 1: getting dominated on the inside, and then you had like

327
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:28,680
Speaker 1: Gary pet in the second getting some minutes early. He

328
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 1: went away from him, Pool was basically pulled. Is he

329
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 1: just like searching for a lineup and anyone to contribute here?

330
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, Well, just to tach his point there, I mean

331
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 4: Stephan Clay. Yeah, great games by them, but it really

332
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 4: did at times, especially at the start, look like their

333
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 4: offense was only those two and then whatever you can

334
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 4: get from Wiggins as a bonus, because Looney obviously he

335
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 4: really only sort of cashes in found money if it's

336
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 4: a broken play and he's around the hoop and Draymond.

337
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 4: I mean, the inability of him to shoot at all

338
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 4: and even look like he's shooting is really playing into

339
00:15:57,280 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 4: the Celtics defense because they're just laying so far off

340
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 4: him now that they are able to sort of cover

341
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 4: the other bases there. And that is a problem I

342
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 4: think there for Steve, because I think he needs someone

343
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:07,200
Speaker 4: else to be able to come out there and just

344
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 4: at least open up the offense. So he's looking for anything.

345
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 4: I mean, Otto Porter hit a couple of threes, Jordan Paul.

346
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 4: You know he's going to come out and try to

347
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 4: fire away, but he's certainly not the threat of the

348
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 4: other two. So you know, Steph and Clay had to

349
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:20,520
Speaker 4: carry so much of the offensive load. I just think

350
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 4: that the Warriors were searching for that other contributor which

351
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 4: the Celtics had, and the Warriors just couldn't find there

352
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 4: last night. So how he changes that for Game four?

353
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 4: I mean, it's hard to sort of see what he

354
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 4: can do because everyone's there, around's healthy. It's just finding

355
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 4: that guy who can actually get into a bit of

356
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 4: a rhythm, and they just can't do it because Draymond

357
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 4: is a very good facilitator of the offense. He's a

358
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 4: great passer, he's got great court vision, he's got a

359
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 4: high basketball like you. But when he's kind of in

360
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 4: the half court there and he's dribbling and he picks

361
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:50,920
Speaker 4: up his dribble, the Celtics are like, Okay, now we've

362
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 4: basically got an extra man to defend, like a free

363
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 4: safety throwing a little football reference here. You know they

364
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:59,120
Speaker 4: can cover that extra ball because you know they're looking

365
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 4: for Steph, you know, for Clay and Trey and I

366
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 4: you know, talked about this at the game there last night. Man,

367
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 4: we've all watched a million games of basketball, We've all

368
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:07,960
Speaker 4: been to a million games of basketball, but there's always

369
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:10,399
Speaker 4: something about just being there in person, about just seeing

370
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 4: how quick and how tiny the gaps are for Steph

371
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 4: and Clay to get some of those shots off.

372
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:16,120
Speaker 2: Like Steph is.

373
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 4: Running around screens, there's the tiniest window gets the ball

374
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:20,920
Speaker 4: and he gets a good shot off when he shot

375
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:23,639
Speaker 4: well there last night. But it's just incredible how tight

376
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:26,800
Speaker 4: those windows are, especially against such an elite defense here

377
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 4: like the Boston Celtics. So that's also why it's hard

378
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:32,439
Speaker 4: for the Warriors here. They just their offense, you know,

379
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 4: they like the ball to move around, they liked guys

380
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:36,800
Speaker 4: to get open. But the Celtics have been very well prepared.

381
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:39,120
Speaker 4: I think Emo Dook has done a fantastic job scouting

382
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 4: and just being like, if Steph's coming around, like a

383
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:44,680
Speaker 4: multiple screen here or whatever the situation is, those other

384
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:46,239
Speaker 4: guys have got to be ready to close out and

385
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:49,280
Speaker 4: not giving those open looks, which we have seen in

386
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:51,440
Speaker 4: those couple of games in San Francisco earlier. It was

387
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:53,200
Speaker 4: a couple of times I was like, Wow, Steph's got

388
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 4: so much room. You know, it stands out for a

389
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:58,280
Speaker 4: shooter like him. But last night it didn't feel like that.

390
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:03,160
Speaker 4: He outshot that incredible Celtics defense. And you know, again

391
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 4: seeing it in person is just a whole different experience.

392
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 1: Was the media room a buzz before the game tray

393
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:13,119
Speaker 1: when we found out that the Warriors players were complaining

394
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 1: about the height of the basket during warm ups, determined

395
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 1: that the net was too high. What was going on

396
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 1: there in the Arena.

397
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:23,359
Speaker 5: My favorite take was from Warriors fans who were saying, Wow,

398
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 5: the Celtics aren't even gonna wait for Scott Foster to

399
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 5: try and steal the game. They're cheating on their own

400
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:31,359
Speaker 5: ahead of time. I don't know. We were, you know,

401
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 5: we were having a nice dinner, We were chatting with chieve.

402
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:36,680
Speaker 5: We weren't paying attention what was going down on the court.

403
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:40,440
Speaker 4: Game.

404
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:43,960
Speaker 1: No, no, I know, I'm just just asking.

405
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:44,440
Speaker 2: Yeah.

406
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 1: The best part was Steve Carr said, it's a good

407
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 1: thing the game starts at midnight. Plenty of time to

408
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:52,920
Speaker 1: fix this line, because, yeah, the game starts late about

409
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:56,240
Speaker 1: nine oh seven, nine oh eight tip there East Coast time.

410
00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:58,879
Speaker 1: And I imagine that I had a part of that

411
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 1: Celtics crowd being pretty uh pretty lathered up leally, We'll

412
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:04,760
Speaker 1: got a lot of time to get some dinner, drinks

413
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:06,680
Speaker 1: and night. It was seventh start and.

414
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 4: It was a beautiful day here yesterday, nice and warm.

415
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:11,920
Speaker 4: Had a little bit of rain earlier in the day,

416
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 4: but that all cleared out. There was a really big

417
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 4: party atmosphere, a little bit of wacky backing floating around

418
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:19,200
Speaker 4: in the pre game crowd as well. There you could

419
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:21,360
Speaker 4: get a.

420
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 5: All right you can say marijuana. It's legal here, that's right.

421
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:24,240
Speaker 2: Yeah.

422
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm still not sure if it's legal or not

423
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 4: where it's legal, but noither fans. Fans were all in

424
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 4: a good, happy mood. There was nothing sort of crazy

425
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:35,040
Speaker 4: going on outside the arena there, and yeah, Tray and

426
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:36,960
Speaker 4: I had a nice little meal to prepare for it,

427
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 4: and then yeah, it was so late. I think we're

428
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:40,399
Speaker 4: getting ready to go to bed, and they were like,

429
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 4: hang on a minute, we're going to go and watch

430
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 4: a game here.

431
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:46,200
Speaker 2: So yeah, the thing that was weird about the rims

432
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:49,080
Speaker 2: being too damn high, The rims are too damn high.

433
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:51,560
Speaker 2: Where it was that the assistant coaches noticed and not

434
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 2: the players first. So the assistant coaches sitting around, I

435
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:58,119
Speaker 2: guess they're used to handing the ball off and letting

436
00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 2: the guys go through their pregame routine and looking up

437
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:03,119
Speaker 2: at the rim. That's weird that the players didn't notice.

438
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 2: But yeah, that's got to be games been ship right.

439
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 2: Set the rim a couple of inches too high, see

440
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:08,560
Speaker 2: what happens?

441
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 5: Sure, sure, yeah, yeah, we were actually talking about that.

442
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:12,040
Speaker 2: Lee.

443
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 5: I never I didn't put two and two together.

444
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:14,159
Speaker 2: You were.

445
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:16,360
Speaker 5: You just asked me if I was at the first

446
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 5: finals game I went to, was the hot game in

447
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:22,200
Speaker 5: San Antonio way back when I guess that was twenty

448
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:24,440
Speaker 5: fourteen finals. We said, oh, I wouldn't be surprised to

449
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:27,200
Speaker 5: see some shenanigan, some old red hour back. Let's turn

450
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 5: off all the hot water in the locker room, so

451
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 5: you got to take a nasty cold shower. This was

452
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,239
Speaker 5: a little sneakier version of it, perhaps, ye, I mean,

453
00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:34,879
Speaker 5: because that's right.

454
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 4: How do you get the rim height wrong? I mean

455
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:39,439
Speaker 4: I thought I would think these days, they're so you know,

456
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:42,920
Speaker 4: technologically sophisticated that it's impossible to get the rim height wrong.

457
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 4: So someone there was just tinkering a little bit and

458
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:47,879
Speaker 4: just said, let's see, but it's weird. I mean, I

459
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:50,639
Speaker 4: would think actually having it higher is some sort of

460
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:52,720
Speaker 4: advantage because then it has to come down lower, rather

461
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:53,919
Speaker 4: than if you have it lower and then it has

462
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 4: to go up high.

463
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:57,359
Speaker 1: Oh wow, yeah, So it would have been worse if

464
00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:00,240
Speaker 1: they put them at like, that's right high rims. Yeah

465
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 1: they're like yeah.

466
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:02,440
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.

467
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:04,359
Speaker 1: I do like that they have like a device. It

468
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:07,240
Speaker 1: appears that they hang off the rim like just like

469
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:10,639
Speaker 1: a little ruler and They're like, Nope, that's I've never

470
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:13,240
Speaker 1: seen that thing before. It was new to me, but

471
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 1: there you go. So the key stat is the previous

472
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:19,360
Speaker 1: thirty nine times teams have split the first two games

473
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:21,160
Speaker 1: of the finals, the winner of Game three has gone

474
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:25,679
Speaker 1: on to win eighty two percent of the time. What

475
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:27,480
Speaker 1: do you think moving forward here for Game four?

476
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:27,840
Speaker 4: Tasks?

477
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 1: Are you? Are you feeling that the Celtics are in

478
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 1: control with how more athletic and younger they look than

479
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:36,200
Speaker 1: the Warriors? Are you far from writing this one over?

480
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:37,679
Speaker 1: It could go back to a best of three in

481
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:38,440
Speaker 1: the bay? What do you think?

482
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:39,399
Speaker 5: All right?

483
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:43,320
Speaker 2: This series not over whatsoever? Yeah, the Celtics are a

484
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:45,359
Speaker 2: resilient bunch and they keep coming, and it looked like

485
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:48,480
Speaker 2: they were the deeper team last night. Absolutely, when you

486
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 2: have assertive al and you have guys coming off the

487
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 2: bench like Derek White and even Peyton Pritchard just you know,

488
00:21:57,359 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 2: ready for their moment, ready to take every shot that

489
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 2: comes there, wait, ready to talk trash to every single

490
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:05,679
Speaker 2: Golden State Warrior. Looks like they want to take their throne.

491
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:10,119
Speaker 2: But I think the Warriors could easily take Game four,

492
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 2: And I think maybe you know, sometimes I think the

493
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:16,119
Speaker 2: Warriors are being a little too ho hum after a

494
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 2: loss like they it felt like they were after Game

495
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:22,200
Speaker 2: one saying we'll be fine, and then they were fine.

496
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:26,360
Speaker 2: But in this instance, after game three as well, Draymond

497
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 2: gree mentioned that Clay said to him, We've been here

498
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 2: before twenty fifteen. We were down of the Cavs two one.

499
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:34,119
Speaker 2: We did it, no big deal. So it feels like

500
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:36,680
Speaker 2: they're a little two lacks. But at the same time,

501
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:39,600
Speaker 2: they know how to turn it up. They obviously have

502
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:43,879
Speaker 2: to get way better at closing those gaps and not

503
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:47,280
Speaker 2: allowing easy passes, so they could They could do it

504
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:49,280
Speaker 2: for sure in Game four. And I know we say, oh,

505
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:52,960
Speaker 2: the Celtics are bigger and more athletic, but the Warriors

506
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:55,720
Speaker 2: are just didn't fight as well as they did in

507
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:57,720
Speaker 2: Games one and games two, where they held the Celtics

508
00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:02,200
Speaker 2: off the boards both. But I wonder if, yeah, the

509
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:05,480
Speaker 2: Celtics are wearing this team down there. They are younger,

510
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:08,320
Speaker 2: and it did happen to the Suns last year where

511
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:12,280
Speaker 2: they they got sort of that beat down after a

512
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:14,920
Speaker 2: couple of months. It's a war of attrition out here.

513
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:16,400
Speaker 2: We'll see what happens in Game four.

514
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 1: Same question Trey, what's your vibe on the rest of

515
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:20,359
Speaker 1: this series.

516
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 5: Well, the Warriors haven't lost back to back games in

517
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:25,680
Speaker 5: the postseason yet, just like the Celtics haven't, So I mean,

518
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:29,840
Speaker 5: it's a must win, no doubt about it for Golden

519
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 5: State on Friday, because the Celtics have proved they can

520
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:34,880
Speaker 5: win on the road. They're the first team to beat

521
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 5: the Warriors in the Chase Center in the playoffs so far.

522
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:42,160
Speaker 5: The problem for the Warriors, I feel like, is their

523
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 5: best defensive and rebounding lineup is going to have Looney

524
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:47,920
Speaker 5: and Draymond in the lineup. But that's also probably their

525
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:51,240
Speaker 5: worst offensive lineup. So it's almost gonna have to be

526
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:54,480
Speaker 5: on Steve Kerr sometimes to sit Draymond if he's not

527
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 5: being aggressive offensively, if he's not given it to you defensively,

528
00:23:57,560 --> 00:23:59,639
Speaker 5: and play Looney a little bit more like Looney might

529
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:02,000
Speaker 5: have been the better choice over Draymond in the third

530
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:04,000
Speaker 5: quarter and in the second half. I don't know, that's

531
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:05,360
Speaker 5: a tough call to make. It's kind of the same

532
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:06,879
Speaker 5: as saying you got to sit down and play Thompson

533
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:09,440
Speaker 5: at times. Are you really gonna sit down these championship

534
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:13,159
Speaker 5: equity guys not very likely. But all I know is

535
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:15,400
Speaker 5: that the Warriors last night got great games from Curry

536
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:19,040
Speaker 5: and from Thompson and they lost. That's pretty surprising. Usually

537
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:21,479
Speaker 5: when those guys play well, go for you know, sixty

538
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:23,959
Speaker 5: ish points, they've got a really solid chance of winning.

539
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 5: But despite the fact that they threatened a little bit,

540
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:28,960
Speaker 5: it didn't really feel like the Celtics were ever out

541
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:31,400
Speaker 5: of control of this game. So I expect a better

542
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:34,200
Speaker 5: effort from the Warriors in Game four. They're a great

543
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 5: bounce back team so far, but I also think the

544
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:39,400
Speaker 5: Celtics have proven that they're a little bit more consistent.

545
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 5: The Warriors can probably get to higher highs in a

546
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:44,480
Speaker 5: game to game basis, but on a quarter to quarter basis,

547
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:46,440
Speaker 5: it feels like the Celtics are a little bit better

548
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:46,840
Speaker 5: right now.

549
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 1: Lee, you know what do you guys got in store

550
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:52,560
Speaker 1: here for the next couple of days. You guys are

551
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:54,399
Speaker 1: gonna be there a Game four. Back in the building,

552
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:57,080
Speaker 1: up in the up in the rafters. You guys are

553
00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 1: looking at the banners. I heard Trey say, I with

554
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:02,880
Speaker 1: the banners, you're so high there. Did you getting nose

555
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:03,800
Speaker 1: bleeds yesterday?

556
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:05,679
Speaker 4: No, it's actually it was a pretty good spot to

557
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:08,159
Speaker 4: watch it from where we were. We were, you know,

558
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:10,440
Speaker 4: there's a few quite a few other media spread about there.

559
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 4: We had a nice angle. I got to see a

560
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:15,639
Speaker 4: Southern lawyer out there working his magic, and it was

561
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:19,120
Speaker 4: beautiful to see that and witness that. We bumped into

562
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:22,680
Speaker 4: a few of our colleagues and peers in the NBA

563
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:25,680
Speaker 4: world as well, which was fun. So I'm looking forward

564
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:27,520
Speaker 4: to it. Honestly, I think this series is still very

565
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:31,120
Speaker 4: much alive, you know. I expect the Warriors to bounce back.

566
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:33,639
Speaker 4: That's what experience sort of gives you. Was like, you

567
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:35,800
Speaker 4: just know that they know this is a must win

568
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:38,119
Speaker 4: game for them, and I think they're going to come

569
00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 4: out differently.

570
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:39,159
Speaker 2: You know.

571
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:42,320
Speaker 4: The crazy thing is the Warriors always win a road

572
00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:44,960
Speaker 4: game and the Celtics always lose a home game. So

573
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:47,439
Speaker 4: based on that, the Warriors are going to tie up

574
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 4: on Friday night. But we'll be at practice later on

575
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:53,919
Speaker 4: today and then we'll sort of see what we're going

576
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:55,800
Speaker 4: to do after that. We haven't really we'll sort of

577
00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:56,920
Speaker 4: figured things out a little bit.

578
00:25:56,920 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 5: But we get the good beans tas. Somebody was talking

579
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:04,359
Speaker 5: to us about the good beans yeast, and once Lee

580
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:06,160
Speaker 5: heard we could go for a coffee tasting.

581
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:10,840
Speaker 2: He was, oh, going down to broncheet.

582
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's that's that's the rumor on the street. Anyway.

583
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 2: All those are good, those are great beans. I think

584
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:22,760
Speaker 2: I got the Buenos Iris blend and that's that's the one.

585
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 2: That's a delicious, delicious brew.

586
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:29,480
Speaker 1: I heard you talk about it on the podcast last night.

587
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 1: But for people joining us here in the stream team,

588
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:34,760
Speaker 1: maybe haven't caught that podcast yet, can you give us

589
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:37,640
Speaker 1: a breakdown in Nelly's halftime performance, League thumbs.

590
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:42,280
Speaker 4: Up A brilliant. I thought it was great because I

591
00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:44,359
Speaker 4: think he only had like twelve minutes or something like that.

592
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:45,200
Speaker 5: It wasn't very long.

593
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:48,520
Speaker 4: So he just went straight into just the medley of

594
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:52,120
Speaker 4: his bangers. I know I'm gonna get I think I'm

595
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:54,159
Speaker 4: gonna get these wrong. He started with Country grandmar and

596
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:58,200
Speaker 4: then EI okay, and then he went to hot in here.

597
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:02,320
Speaker 4: That's right, you're on it right now, okay. I can't

598
00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 4: remember number four. But then he finished obviously with right

599
00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:10,120
Speaker 4: with Me. So yeah, yeah, no dilemma. Unfortunately, no Kelly Rowland,

600
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 4: she didn't come out and joining him. I was hoping

601
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:17,880
Speaker 4: for that, but unfortunately didn't happen. But Nelly was great. Yeah,

602
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:20,119
Speaker 4: I thought he had good energy and Trey and I

603
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:23,199
Speaker 4: tried to kind of figured it out that why he

604
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:25,720
Speaker 4: was there in a Jason Tatum jersey. He's from Saint

605
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:27,720
Speaker 4: Louis and Tatum is from Saint Louis, so that was

606
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:28,520
Speaker 4: the connection there.

607
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:30,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, Titum was pumped. I think there was a I

608
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 1: think Deuce took a photo with Nelly I saw going around.

609
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:37,640
Speaker 1: That's Saint Lewis connection. It was excited to see him.

610
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:40,560
Speaker 1: Who do you know who's performing Game four? Any idea

611
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:41,840
Speaker 1: has that been released by the NBA.

612
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's going to be Murphy Lee. He's doing what

613
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:46,400
Speaker 5: the hook Bee? He's going to do the whole song.

614
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:47,160
Speaker 5: It's his only hit.

615
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:51,560
Speaker 1: Wow Lee, Who would you like to see you in Boston?

616
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:55,639
Speaker 4: One of the Wohlbergs, Well, No, Paul McCartney was actually

617
00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:59,840
Speaker 4: playing the day Tray and I arrived at Fenway Park. Ah,

618
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:01,880
Speaker 4: if we'd known that, I think we might have caught

619
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:03,439
Speaker 4: it early a flight. We would have gotten up here

620
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:05,760
Speaker 4: a little bit early. So maybe if p Mack's still

621
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:08,600
Speaker 4: in town, maybe he can come out. And he was

622
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:09,520
Speaker 4: with a couple of bangs.

623
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:10,120
Speaker 5: Mack.

624
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:16,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, Hey, no one's ever called Paul mccartnon Max, somebody

625
00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:20,240
Speaker 1: please photoshop Paul McCartney's head onto that picture of Tracy

626
00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 1: McGrady wearing gigantic pants and send it to us and

627
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:24,080
Speaker 1: we'll retweet it.

628
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:27,520
Speaker 2: Pe mack, let me let me jump in with Let

629
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:29,919
Speaker 2: me jump in with this comment because I was watching

630
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:33,040
Speaker 2: Nelly yesterday with Danielle. I was watching the halftime show

631
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:37,720
Speaker 2: from my couch. That's why you don't watch the broadcasting.

632
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:40,120
Speaker 2: You watch the NBA app. You can see what's going

633
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:41,120
Speaker 2: on in the arena.

634
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:42,080
Speaker 4: Uh.

635
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:45,440
Speaker 2: And I looked at h at Nellie. I thought, how

636
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:48,760
Speaker 2: old is this guy? He's forty seven and here in

637
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:53,840
Speaker 2: the stream team no name cards mentions. Jason Tatum's mom

638
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 2: and Nelly were high school friends. Apparently.

639
00:28:56,880 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 1: Wow, that's freaking weird, but it makes.

640
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:03,560
Speaker 2: He's like twenty five years older than Jason Tatum. Now

641
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 2: Nellie is getting a little Drake Lake. He's court side

642
00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:12,840
Speaker 2: for whatever team will allow him to sit there. Sure

643
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:15,959
Speaker 2: you know it's he was a Charlotte Bobcats owner once

644
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:18,200
Speaker 2: upon a time. He was. He's big. He's in the

645
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:21,840
Speaker 2: in the arena Charlotte all the time. But now I

646
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:24,800
Speaker 2: guess the Saint Louis connection gives him a pass for sure,

647
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:28,280
Speaker 2: but uh, I don't know, I mean, he would the guy.

648
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 2: I don't know if it was the levels, but the

649
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:33,280
Speaker 2: guy backing him up was louder than Nellie, like the

650
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:36,520
Speaker 2: guy who finishes his lines. Like Nelly wasn't going all out,

651
00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 2: he wasn't singing every word. He just got up from

652
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 2: his court side seat. He gave him a bike and

653
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:41,640
Speaker 2: started singing.

654
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:44,600
Speaker 4: That was funny because that that they were showing him

655
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:46,479
Speaker 4: in the second quarter court side and we were like,

656
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:48,760
Speaker 4: you shouldn't he sort of be rehearsing or getting ready

657
00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:51,440
Speaker 4: or doing something backstage, But instead it was just like,

658
00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:53,320
Speaker 4: all right, here's the mic, go out and hit us

659
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:54,880
Speaker 4: with a couple of bangers and he and he did it.

660
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:56,760
Speaker 4: I mean, that's a true showman, though he doesn't need

661
00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:58,680
Speaker 4: time itself.

662
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:02,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, we always have the debate of how much did

663
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:06,240
Speaker 1: Nelly get paid for that? We worked twelve minutes, you know,

664
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:09,480
Speaker 1: got court side seats. What did he get? What was

665
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:10,240
Speaker 1: the paycheck for that?

666
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:14,720
Speaker 5: I've always I mean, so Nelly's doing all right out there?

667
00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, well for sure, I mean, and that's the thing,

668
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:19,760
Speaker 1: like it's like it's got to be a certain amount

669
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:21,480
Speaker 1: for him to even do it. You would think, I

670
00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:25,959
Speaker 1: don't know, but he guessed this tra Yeah. I mean

671
00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:27,720
Speaker 1: I was gonna say maybe twenty five.

672
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:29,880
Speaker 2: But yeah, the final final.

673
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:31,120
Speaker 1: Final finals bump.

674
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:36,000
Speaker 2: Sure, yeah, listen, next time we need Matt Austin playing

675
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:39,160
Speaker 2: the guitar for Ride with Me because that's his classic

676
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:42,040
Speaker 2: as his classic guitar song, he kills it, kills it

677
00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:42,719
Speaker 2: on Ride with Me.

678
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:47,560
Speaker 1: Any other notes, guys, random notes, uh, from from the

679
00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:50,760
Speaker 1: arena or watching tasks or about the game on the court,

680
00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 1: anything else you wanted to address from the Celtics taking

681
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:55,600
Speaker 1: Game two one sixteen last night.

682
00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:59,080
Speaker 5: Well, the fourth song was that one that goes I

683
00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:01,360
Speaker 5: was thinking about you, I was thinking about me, I

684
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:04,040
Speaker 5: was thinking about Pooh, I was thinking about pee or whatever.

685
00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:07,480
Speaker 5: It was like one of the later era Nelly bangers.

686
00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:11,840
Speaker 5: But it's interesting that you mentioned Deuce took a picture

687
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 5: with Nelly, because like, Deuce isn't that old. Has Nelly

688
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:17,680
Speaker 5: had a hit since Deuce has been born?

689
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:20,160
Speaker 2: No way, no way, no, I don't.

690
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:22,240
Speaker 1: I don't think Deuce wanted to take the photo. I

691
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:23,320
Speaker 1: think he was told to take.

692
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:25,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's like, you're gonna you're gonna want this in

693
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:27,320
Speaker 5: the future when Nelly's in the Rock and Roll Hall

694
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:27,720
Speaker 5: of Fame.

695
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:31,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think Nelly's career was a bit like probably

696
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:33,440
Speaker 4: Penny Hotaway from like two thousand and one to two

697
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:36,120
Speaker 4: thousand and five. He paid and he's kind of just

698
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:39,480
Speaker 4: been living off it since then. But uh, I think so,

699
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:41,760
Speaker 4: I mean, I really remember anything too much after that.

700
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:48,600
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, it looked like you guys were depicting a

701
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 2: Nelly album. It looked like Trey was in his suit

702
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:57,520
Speaker 2: and you were in your sweats. There the Blaze, you

703
00:31:57,520 --> 00:31:59,560
Speaker 2: were in a shirt, I guess actually.

704
00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:03,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, he was wearing Yeah, not ship cash though, Yeah,

705
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:05,920
Speaker 4: I mean casual business casual, you know. I mean, I'm

706
00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:07,960
Speaker 4: like the coaches these days. I don't need a shirt

707
00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:11,440
Speaker 4: and tie anymore. And yeah, so you've got a nice

708
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:13,520
Speaker 4: clean shirt. You're presentable. I think that's fine.

709
00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:17,080
Speaker 5: Overdressed, I would say, but that's all good.

710
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:18,360
Speaker 2: It's really the finals.

711
00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:20,960
Speaker 5: That's the finals exactly. You think I'm not gonna wear

712
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:23,720
Speaker 5: a new fit out there, of course, but we look good.

713
00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:25,800
Speaker 5: We look good. He is a He was matching the

714
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:27,960
Speaker 5: vibe up there in the rafter, sitting next to Scoop

715
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:28,760
Speaker 5: Bee Robinson.

716
00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:32,880
Speaker 2: That's a name dropper looking for. Yeah, you look good.

717
00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:35,280
Speaker 2: I just wanted to make the suit and sweat it. Really,

718
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:37,880
Speaker 2: it really wasn't applicable to you whatsoever because you weren't

719
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:41,760
Speaker 2: wearing it a sweatsuit. But yeah, any any any other

720
00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:45,440
Speaker 2: it's just name one more media member, that's all I'm

721
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 2: looking for.

722
00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:51,160
Speaker 4: Oh, well your man divine Dan, Divine. Yeah, we had

723
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:53,280
Speaker 4: a great, great ketch up upstairs there.

724
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:55,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I'm looking for.

725
00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:56,560
Speaker 5: It's great, great Dan.

726
00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:58,600
Speaker 4: He's always got good energy. He's good, fun guy to

727
00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:00,760
Speaker 4: chat to. And uh, yeah, we had a great time.

728
00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:03,800
Speaker 1: And no one from the NBA told you, because you're

729
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:06,520
Speaker 1: sitting in the media section to stop dancing when Nelly

730
00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:07,680
Speaker 1: was performing.

731
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:11,360
Speaker 4: They said, let it fly, man, have some fun. You know,

732
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:13,400
Speaker 4: you're not cheering from the press pops. Really when it's

733
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:15,200
Speaker 4: the half time, you know, you're allowed to get into it.

734
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:19,600
Speaker 1: So they well, I think it would you wear the

735
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:21,480
Speaker 1: tall green hat during the entire game?

736
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:24,479
Speaker 5: Not frown? No, I mean the thing.

737
00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:26,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's the thing. You're sort of showing a little

738
00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:28,240
Speaker 4: bit of favorites there. And also it's really just been

739
00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:30,240
Speaker 4: it's just balancing on my head right now, so it's

740
00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:32,160
Speaker 4: not it's not like stuck on, so I couldn't. I

741
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:33,960
Speaker 4: haven't got a whole lot of range of movement with

742
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:35,080
Speaker 4: it because it's going to come off.

743
00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:37,920
Speaker 5: Lee actually got really excited when he figured out that

744
00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:41,320
Speaker 5: his big green hat would work as a laptop stand. Yeah,

745
00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:45,480
Speaker 5: balance it up here. My only other note from the

746
00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:47,960
Speaker 5: game was we were watching Bill Walton was in attendance.

747
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:50,600
Speaker 5: Obviously there are a ton of Celtics grates there. It

748
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:52,880
Speaker 5: was cool to see Paul Pierce wearing his NBA seventy

749
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:56,280
Speaker 5: five jacket. I like that touch. But they showed Bill Walton.

750
00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:58,320
Speaker 5: I was like, oh, I would love to talk to

751
00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:01,400
Speaker 5: Bill Walton, love to get a picture him. So that

752
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:02,760
Speaker 5: was I don't know. They must have shown him to

753
00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:04,880
Speaker 5: a third or fourth quarter or something like that. We

754
00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:07,400
Speaker 5: finished the game, we finished the podcast. We're walking out

755
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:09,719
Speaker 5: to get our car to head back home, and who

756
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:13,440
Speaker 5: comes stumbling by Bill Walton with just a crew of

757
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:17,919
Speaker 5: people following him, and I froze. I was like, oh, no,

758
00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:20,400
Speaker 5: I need a grateful, dead lyric. Now I should have

759
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:23,080
Speaker 5: said something like Bill, we need a miracle. He would

760
00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:25,000
Speaker 5: have loved that, because people wanted to stop him for

761
00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:27,719
Speaker 5: pictures or to talk basketball. I don't think that was

762
00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:29,640
Speaker 5: gonna happen, but if you hit him with a grateful

763
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:32,279
Speaker 5: Dead reference, you may stop him in his tracks. Yeah,

764
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:34,640
Speaker 5: and I completely watched it, so that was an l

765
00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:35,480
Speaker 5: for me last night.

766
00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:37,920
Speaker 1: Wow, at least he saw him. He must be a

767
00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:38,680
Speaker 1: giant dude.

768
00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:42,879
Speaker 5: Oh, he's huge. He's huge, and it seems like he's

769
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:47,560
Speaker 5: letting his hair grow out a little bit more Doc Brownlow.

770
00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:49,879
Speaker 4: That's exactly what I thought it was. He just come

771
00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:53,680
Speaker 4: out of the time machine, I think. And but but

772
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 4: that's the thing. Bill had the big smile on his face,

773
00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:58,200
Speaker 4: and I wondered, because I know you have interviewed him. Try.

774
00:34:58,200 --> 00:34:59,799
Speaker 4: I was like, I wonder if you woul recognized because

775
00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:02,000
Speaker 4: tra often gets recognized, and that's got the big beard

776
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:04,840
Speaker 4: in that there. But Bill seemed to be on his

777
00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:06,439
Speaker 4: wife somewhere anyway, And oh.

778
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:08,360
Speaker 1: Jeez, it would have been pretty late at that point.

779
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:11,399
Speaker 4: Yeah, well that's right. Yeah, it was off to the show. Yeah,

780
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:12,080
Speaker 4: but yeah, it.

781
00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:14,480
Speaker 1: Would have been like twelve thirty one o'clock some at least.

782
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:14,759
Speaker 4: Yeah.

783
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:17,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, wow, any wacky backy.

784
00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:22,960
Speaker 4: Smell didn't get I didn't get close enough, but I

785
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:25,360
Speaker 4: would say probably a good chance that was Yes.

786
00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:29,200
Speaker 1: Well, let's take our first break. When we come back,

787
00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:32,560
Speaker 1: we'll switch it up and talk some NBA news and notes.

788
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:38,360
Speaker 1: Don't go anywhere. Well, all right, back with the boys

789
00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:41,040
Speaker 1: here in the yard on a Thursday. I got to

790
00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:44,040
Speaker 1: apologize to my guys Trey and Lee about last night

791
00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:47,920
Speaker 1: not being able to make the Immediate Reaction podcast My

792
00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:51,080
Speaker 1: Power just went could put last night we had a

793
00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:53,239
Speaker 1: crazy I don't know if it hit you or you

794
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:57,239
Speaker 1: are tasked. We had another insane, insane lightning and thunderstorm

795
00:35:57,239 --> 00:36:01,040
Speaker 1: here in Atlanta. That's back to back nights, and yeah, everything

796
00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:04,960
Speaker 1: went out about three minutes into the fourth quarter, and

797
00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:08,160
Speaker 1: it was not coming back the internet, at least for

798
00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:10,839
Speaker 1: a while. So I packed it up and went to bed.

799
00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:13,440
Speaker 1: You guys killed it. I listened to the podcast this morning.

800
00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:15,879
Speaker 1: I guess JD did a great job, maybe fixing some things.

801
00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:21,160
Speaker 5: That's a perfect recording environment, no technical difficulties, nice, no

802
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:24,280
Speaker 5: sort of audio bleed between microphones causing a crazy echo

803
00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:27,520
Speaker 5: that made it sound like demon gods. None of that happened,

804
00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:30,040
Speaker 5: so it was a pretty smooth sailing for JD.

805
00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:32,759
Speaker 4: I think last night, Okay, Now I'm just gonna have

806
00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:34,680
Speaker 4: to message PETI to go and check my roof you're

807
00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:36,880
Speaker 4: telling Oh, yeah.

808
00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:39,279
Speaker 1: I mean it was. It's been crazy the last two nights.

809
00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:44,680
Speaker 1: It's been insane. Atlanta's storms here. Yeah, all right, got

810
00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:47,520
Speaker 1: some news and notes here. First one, it's probably of

811
00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:51,040
Speaker 1: interest to our guy Trey Kirby because there are reports

812
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:55,120
Speaker 1: reports plural. I really should have added a nest there

813
00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:59,000
Speaker 1: to the lower third. But the Bulls emerging as a

814
00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:03,200
Speaker 1: possible suitor for Rudy Gobar, So I have to get

815
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:06,759
Speaker 1: our Bulls fan, Trey Kirby's thoughts on this. Go bear

816
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:08,480
Speaker 1: in Chicago, What do you think?

817
00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:09,279
Speaker 5: More like?

818
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:10,200
Speaker 4: Go Bulls?

819
00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:16,040
Speaker 5: Oh, Rudy, go Chicago Bears. That works too, But honestly, Skeets,

820
00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:19,360
Speaker 5: this does feel like a bull a bowl of broccoli.

821
00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:23,120
Speaker 5: You may not be excited about it, you're not even

822
00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:25,000
Speaker 5: sure if you want it, but you got to get

823
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:27,719
Speaker 5: those nutrients. You got to eat your vegetables, and this

824
00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:30,200
Speaker 5: feels like a vegetable sort of move for the Bulls

825
00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:33,560
Speaker 5: if they're really able to pull this off. Obviously, Buschovic

826
00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:37,800
Speaker 5: isn't a defensive presence, and the Bulls need a defensive presence.

827
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:41,520
Speaker 5: They're two biggest weaknesses outside of depth this year. We're

828
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:45,520
Speaker 5: defense and rebounding. Those are go Bear's two biggest strengths.

829
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:48,840
Speaker 5: He would obviously be a game changing presence for the

830
00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:52,239
Speaker 5: Bulls just because they are clearly right now an offensive

831
00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:54,560
Speaker 5: team with not much on the defensive end. This would

832
00:37:54,560 --> 00:37:57,800
Speaker 5: give them a little bit more balance. The rumor deals

833
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:01,200
Speaker 5: are vouch than Patrick Williams, then maybe like Kobe White,

834
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:03,680
Speaker 5: to kind of match the salaries and that kind of stuff.

835
00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:06,840
Speaker 5: You'd be kind of given up early on Williams, but

836
00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:09,200
Speaker 5: you got to trade something to get something back. So

837
00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:13,240
Speaker 5: I don't know, Like I'm not enthused about the idea

838
00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:16,399
Speaker 5: of Rudy Gilbert becoming a Chicago bull but that kind

839
00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:19,560
Speaker 5: of trade might be necessary for them to continue to

840
00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:21,719
Speaker 5: be a solid, at least playoff team. I don't think

841
00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:24,880
Speaker 5: that this would elevate them to championship status or anything

842
00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:26,880
Speaker 5: like that, but it probably makes them a solid playoff

843
00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:29,399
Speaker 5: team going forward. And as we saw this year, they're

844
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:31,719
Speaker 5: a playoff team, but as we saw it for the

845
00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:34,000
Speaker 5: second half of the season, they're probably in the bottom

846
00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:36,799
Speaker 5: half of the Eastern Conference playoffs. Maybe this elevates them

847
00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:39,120
Speaker 5: to a more solid status like a fifth or a

848
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:43,160
Speaker 5: sixth rather than anywhere from fifth through tenth, So I

849
00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:45,880
Speaker 5: could see it happening. With Rutevitch being an expiring your

850
00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:49,040
Speaker 5: contract after next season, this would be it seems like

851
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:51,239
Speaker 5: a solid time to be able to trade him. So

852
00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:53,480
Speaker 5: I don't know. It would definitely help the Bulls. But

853
00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:55,440
Speaker 5: I mean, you see what Rudy Gobert does in the

854
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:57,640
Speaker 5: playoffs and it's hard to get completely fired up. But

855
00:38:57,680 --> 00:38:59,120
Speaker 5: also if you're a Bulls fan, he just missed the

856
00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:01,440
Speaker 5: playoffs for five years. For this season, hey give me

857
00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:02,200
Speaker 5: some more playoffs.

858
00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:05,000
Speaker 1: I don't know, Yeah, Tess, what do you think about?

859
00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:07,400
Speaker 1: Like Trey said it, the potential deal that I'm seeing

860
00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:11,360
Speaker 1: is Vucevic, Patrick Williams and then Kobe White for Gobert

861
00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:13,520
Speaker 1: or something along those lines. It's not going to be

862
00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:16,000
Speaker 1: draft picks, That's the thing. Bulls don't have a lot

863
00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:18,440
Speaker 1: of those to give. They would be away in the

864
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:20,160
Speaker 1: future if they were throwing those in, So it's got

865
00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:22,920
Speaker 1: to be young talent and then that Voochs contract. What

866
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:25,320
Speaker 1: do you think from the Bulls or Jazz side of things.

867
00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:28,560
Speaker 2: Test Well, the Bulls kind of went all in last

868
00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:31,120
Speaker 2: year when they traded two first round picks plus Auto

869
00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:34,520
Speaker 2: port Or plus Wendel Carter for Vucevic and then they'd

870
00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:38,480
Speaker 2: be turning around and going even more all in trading.

871
00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:42,360
Speaker 2: They're young player and Patrick Golliams the youngest guy that

872
00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:46,279
Speaker 2: really has some potential. I mean, Kobe White, I guess

873
00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:48,880
Speaker 2: you can throw in that same category, but they'd really

874
00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:50,879
Speaker 2: be going for it. But at the same time, if

875
00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:53,920
Speaker 2: you're able to turn Vouch who's going to be thirty

876
00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:57,440
Speaker 2: two this year and not looking like his even his

877
00:39:58,280 --> 00:40:01,880
Speaker 2: two years ago, Souf into Rudy Bear, even though you'd

878
00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:04,320
Speaker 2: really be going all in on, like Trey said, probably

879
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:07,759
Speaker 2: just a solid playoff team, and you've already gave up

880
00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:10,879
Speaker 2: your draft picks. I think you just gotta you gotta

881
00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:13,080
Speaker 2: bite the bolt and do it, because Rudy would help

882
00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:16,759
Speaker 2: so much. Uh And Patrick Williams, who's a number four pick.

883
00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:20,040
Speaker 2: They it was kind of like them also giving up

884
00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:23,319
Speaker 2: on Wendell Carter Junior. You don't know exactly what he's

885
00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:25,399
Speaker 2: going to be. He could be a really good player

886
00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:27,839
Speaker 2: in the future, but he hasn't shown that he's going

887
00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:31,160
Speaker 2: to be that. So, yeah, it's the It's it's kind

888
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:33,640
Speaker 2: of a slippery slope here. The Bulls started going down

889
00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:37,640
Speaker 2: that route. Yes last year by trading those picks for

890
00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:41,560
Speaker 2: Vouch and it's almost like you gotta keep going. Now,

891
00:40:41,640 --> 00:40:44,040
Speaker 2: you gotta keep going. I mean, they're they'd be getting old.

892
00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:46,680
Speaker 2: They'd really be getting old if if you traded Patrick

893
00:40:46,719 --> 00:40:50,840
Speaker 2: Williams and Kobe White, and then your core is obviously

894
00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:54,120
Speaker 2: Damar and guys like Lonzo Ball who can't play a

895
00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:57,760
Speaker 2: full season. And it's really predicated on if Zach Levine's

896
00:40:57,760 --> 00:41:00,600
Speaker 2: coming back to If Zaclvine's not coming back, no, don't

897
00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:03,360
Speaker 2: make this move, I don't think. But if he is,

898
00:41:03,719 --> 00:41:05,240
Speaker 2: go for it. And I think from the other side,

899
00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:08,759
Speaker 2: there's rumors plural about Rudy Gobert. There's rumors about Boyan

900
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:12,680
Speaker 2: but Dinas, There's rumors about Mike Conley starting to feel

901
00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:15,240
Speaker 2: like there could be a blow up there in Utah.

902
00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:18,640
Speaker 2: Trader Danny might be making some trades there with the

903
00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:19,919
Speaker 2: Jazz Lee.

904
00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:21,520
Speaker 1: What do you think about these rumors going around with

905
00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:22,120
Speaker 1: Golbert to.

906
00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:24,160
Speaker 4: The Balls, I look, I think the Bulls improved with

907
00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:26,319
Speaker 4: Rudy Gobert because I think they could definitely use his

908
00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:31,800
Speaker 4: defensive presences, shot blocking and just his impact, his value

909
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:35,040
Speaker 4: and his reputation. It's all over the place. But I

910
00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:38,440
Speaker 4: think you get a very very solid upgrade defensively, and

911
00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:42,160
Speaker 4: I think offensively, if those other guys like Lonzo Ball

912
00:41:42,200 --> 00:41:44,960
Speaker 4: can take in the extra step and if Alas Caruso

913
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:46,920
Speaker 4: can score more, I think then you can make up

914
00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:50,360
Speaker 4: for whatever offensive shooting you lose by trading away Vooge.

915
00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:52,200
Speaker 4: If that's the deal that's there to be made. So

916
00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:55,080
Speaker 4: I think the Bulls need an upgrade, and so I

917
00:41:55,120 --> 00:41:55,440
Speaker 4: think that.

918
00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:56,120
Speaker 1: Would be a good move.

919
00:41:56,160 --> 00:41:59,279
Speaker 4: And Vooch he's fine, but he's also frustrating. And I

920
00:41:59,320 --> 00:42:01,160
Speaker 4: think one of the things is he's not a traditional

921
00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:04,719
Speaker 4: big in terms of a defensive presence out there. So

922
00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:08,360
Speaker 4: I think Rudy does just upgrade them at that position.

923
00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:10,000
Speaker 4: If you're going to give up some of that young

924
00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:13,000
Speaker 4: talent about Patrick Williams, again, you have to give up

925
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:15,680
Speaker 4: something to get a defensive Player of the Year candidate

926
00:42:15,719 --> 00:42:18,000
Speaker 4: and all start, and that's the price you have to pay.

927
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:20,960
Speaker 4: Because the Bulls were very good for like three quarters

928
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:23,479
Speaker 4: of this season, some of us even believe, like, hey,

929
00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:27,279
Speaker 4: second round is absolutely on the table here, but as

930
00:42:27,320 --> 00:42:29,239
Speaker 4: the season went on, they had a few areas. Now

931
00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:32,160
Speaker 4: injuries and you know, other factors play a role here.

932
00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:34,520
Speaker 4: But I just think if I was to have. If

933
00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:36,360
Speaker 4: I look at that Bulls team with Rudy Gobert there,

934
00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:38,160
Speaker 4: I think they're a much better team than they were,

935
00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:40,080
Speaker 4: or you know, they're an improved team. They're a better

936
00:42:40,080 --> 00:42:41,759
Speaker 4: team than the way they finished this season. So I

937
00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:44,439
Speaker 4: think a deal like that would be good, especially again

938
00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:46,359
Speaker 4: if you're moving on from Vouch with one year left

939
00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:50,040
Speaker 4: and he's been fine, but I think Gobert is better

940
00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:50,640
Speaker 4: for that team.

941
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:53,960
Speaker 1: It's really all how you feel about Patrick Williams as

942
00:42:54,080 --> 00:42:56,719
Speaker 1: still a twenty year old, right. I mean, if you're

943
00:42:57,200 --> 00:42:59,120
Speaker 1: think he's just going to be a good player, then yeah,

944
00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:02,040
Speaker 1: you're probably aggressively doing this type of deal. If it's

945
00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:05,480
Speaker 1: Vouch basically for Gobert and then you don't believe in

946
00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:07,759
Speaker 1: maybe a Patrick Williams blossoming into an All Star or

947
00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:10,759
Speaker 1: something like that, then yeah, but you know if you do,

948
00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:12,439
Speaker 1: I don't know if there are Bulls fans that feel

949
00:43:12,480 --> 00:43:14,719
Speaker 1: that way. Trey that like, I mean, he is super young.

950
00:43:14,719 --> 00:43:16,360
Speaker 1: He just can't stay on the floor. But when he

951
00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:18,799
Speaker 1: has played, he's looked okay at times. But it's like

952
00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:20,680
Speaker 1: he's he's the wild card in all of this.

953
00:43:20,719 --> 00:43:24,120
Speaker 5: To me, he's the wild card for sure. And I

954
00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:25,680
Speaker 5: don't know. To me, he's a bit more of a

955
00:43:25,680 --> 00:43:28,800
Speaker 5: theoretical player now than he has been an actual player.

956
00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:32,040
Speaker 5: Even when he's been on the court, he's just invisible sometimes,

957
00:43:32,040 --> 00:43:34,279
Speaker 5: like he completely disappears. And that's why I kind of

958
00:43:34,280 --> 00:43:36,800
Speaker 5: think it's more likely the Jazz say no to this trade.

959
00:43:36,840 --> 00:43:39,480
Speaker 5: I think they can probably get a better player, a

960
00:43:39,480 --> 00:43:42,040
Speaker 5: better future player than Patrick Williams, and I think they

961
00:43:42,080 --> 00:43:45,279
Speaker 5: would be taking a serious step back trading Gobert. Obviously,

962
00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:47,799
Speaker 5: there are chemistry concerns and it feels like this era

963
00:43:47,880 --> 00:43:50,480
Speaker 5: of the Jazz is done, So it's likely Gobert gets traded,

964
00:43:50,520 --> 00:43:52,880
Speaker 5: But I imagine they can do better than Vooch and Patrick

965
00:43:52,880 --> 00:43:53,600
Speaker 5: Williams out there.

966
00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:56,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe it's gonna be weird to see Rudy Gobert

967
00:43:56,719 --> 00:43:59,440
Speaker 1: lee in a different uniform. I don't know, Like it's uh,

968
00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:03,560
Speaker 1: just like so linked to the Utah Jazz and obviously

969
00:44:04,120 --> 00:44:05,880
Speaker 1: things that have gone well for him when he Defensive

970
00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:08,360
Speaker 1: Player of the Years and obviously playoff performances and stuff

971
00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:10,160
Speaker 1: like that. It's gonna be a strange. But I'm with

972
00:44:10,280 --> 00:44:13,880
Speaker 1: I'm with tasks, Like it sure feels like they've picked

973
00:44:13,880 --> 00:44:18,200
Speaker 1: a direction and it's gonna go with Mitchell and Gobert,

974
00:44:18,320 --> 00:44:20,800
Speaker 1: maybe Conley, maybe some of these other guys are available

975
00:44:20,840 --> 00:44:22,960
Speaker 1: for the right price here, and that they just are making,

976
00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:27,280
Speaker 1: finally making this decision to just pick one and rebuild

977
00:44:27,280 --> 00:44:28,040
Speaker 1: their team differently.

978
00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:31,520
Speaker 5: I think, yeah, and yeah, and it's it's no surprise

979
00:44:31,560 --> 00:44:35,000
Speaker 5: that it's gonna be Mitchell. He's ah, I'll go ahead.

980
00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:35,720
Speaker 5: I'm probably lagging.

981
00:44:36,320 --> 00:44:37,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, go ahead.

982
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:39,560
Speaker 2: Well, I'll just say, if we see Rudy Gobert in

983
00:44:39,600 --> 00:44:43,959
Speaker 2: another uniform, I think he might be appreciated a little

984
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:45,959
Speaker 2: bit more because it's just not gonna happen in Utah.

985
00:44:46,040 --> 00:44:49,000
Speaker 2: But the casual NBA fan will not even casual be fan.

986
00:44:49,040 --> 00:44:51,040
Speaker 2: I think all NBA fans will start to appreciate what

987
00:44:51,080 --> 00:44:52,680
Speaker 2: he does a little bit more if he ever wears

988
00:44:52,680 --> 00:44:56,560
Speaker 2: a different uniform than the Utah Jazz uniform. Because yeah,

989
00:44:56,560 --> 00:44:58,640
Speaker 2: he can win Defensive Player of the Year, but nobody

990
00:44:58,719 --> 00:45:02,120
Speaker 2: gives af really about Rudy Gobert. But he's so so

991
00:45:02,320 --> 00:45:05,680
Speaker 2: talented on that defensive end. That's why the mix when

992
00:45:05,719 --> 00:45:08,040
Speaker 2: you're looking at it on paper with the Bulls, if

993
00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:11,800
Speaker 2: Alex Caruso and Lonzo Ball can stay on the floor,

994
00:45:11,840 --> 00:45:14,640
Speaker 2: and that's a big question, along with two scorers with

995
00:45:14,719 --> 00:45:18,480
Speaker 2: Tamar de Rosen and a return Zach Lavine. If that happens, hey,

996
00:45:18,880 --> 00:45:21,479
Speaker 2: you gotta get excited about that. It starts to look

997
00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:25,120
Speaker 2: real good on paper with the balance on offense and

998
00:45:25,239 --> 00:45:27,840
Speaker 2: defense and five players.

999
00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:31,399
Speaker 5: Though, man, that's if they trade three for one. They

1000
00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:34,320
Speaker 5: didn't have much depth at the end of the season anyways,

1001
00:45:34,360 --> 00:45:35,960
Speaker 5: so you've got a starting five and then you got

1002
00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:38,400
Speaker 5: to tinker around the edges because Gobert does have a

1003
00:45:38,440 --> 00:45:40,439
Speaker 5: big old contract, so it's kind of hard to match

1004
00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:42,920
Speaker 5: salaries with him unless you've got your own big contract

1005
00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:44,719
Speaker 5: of your own, and the Bulls don't have that. So

1006
00:45:45,120 --> 00:45:47,360
Speaker 5: I don't know. This is weird, like the Jazz have

1007
00:45:47,480 --> 00:45:50,200
Speaker 5: to break up this team. We've seen it too much

1008
00:45:50,320 --> 00:45:53,480
Speaker 5: and they haven't gotten far enough. And obviously last season

1009
00:45:53,520 --> 00:45:55,560
Speaker 5: was a super stressful season. They're gonna be worse when

1010
00:45:55,600 --> 00:45:57,440
Speaker 5: they trade Gobert. I think they're gonna fall down the

1011
00:45:57,440 --> 00:46:02,080
Speaker 5: standings just because he's he's such a difference maker during

1012
00:46:02,120 --> 00:46:04,879
Speaker 5: the regular season. Obviously his flaws are quite obvious when

1013
00:46:04,880 --> 00:46:07,279
Speaker 5: it comes to postseason time, but they're going to be

1014
00:46:07,520 --> 00:46:09,480
Speaker 5: more in the play in tournament sort of range, I

1015
00:46:09,480 --> 00:46:11,600
Speaker 5: think than battling for fourth and fifth seeds.

1016
00:46:13,120 --> 00:46:16,640
Speaker 1: This next piece of news is a fascinating article from

1017
00:46:16,680 --> 00:46:20,800
Speaker 1: the Athletically. It's come out that the Suns were dealing

1018
00:46:20,800 --> 00:46:24,000
Speaker 1: with a COVID outbreak that may have impacted their ability

1019
00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:27,680
Speaker 1: to perform there against the MAVs in that Game seven

1020
00:46:27,719 --> 00:46:30,320
Speaker 1: where they got just destroyed. According to the Athletics reporting,

1021
00:46:30,760 --> 00:46:35,640
Speaker 1: six different individuals, including one player, tested positive for COVID

1022
00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:39,000
Speaker 1: either late in that series versus the average or just

1023
00:46:39,080 --> 00:46:41,520
Speaker 1: after it ended. I think they're saying the player, the

1024
00:46:41,600 --> 00:46:44,400
Speaker 1: unnamed player, maybe right after it ended. The Sons in

1025
00:46:44,440 --> 00:46:46,000
Speaker 1: the NBA have both said that the team did not

1026
00:46:46,200 --> 00:46:49,080
Speaker 1: violate any of the league's health and safety protocols, and

1027
00:46:49,120 --> 00:46:52,200
Speaker 1: this includes like reporting and testing and sitting personnel out

1028
00:46:52,600 --> 00:46:54,920
Speaker 1: that have tested positive for COVID nineteen. But anyway, I

1029
00:46:54,960 --> 00:46:57,040
Speaker 1: highly recommend everybody go check this article out the Athletic

1030
00:46:57,080 --> 00:46:58,640
Speaker 1: dot com slash no dunes. So you want to read it,

1031
00:46:58,680 --> 00:46:59,960
Speaker 1: but yeah, what's your takeaway?

1032
00:47:00,719 --> 00:47:03,839
Speaker 4: Well, my takeaway from it is that the way that

1033
00:47:04,280 --> 00:47:08,560
Speaker 4: teams have to report the virus basically is down to

1034
00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:11,560
Speaker 4: an honor system. Sam Ammick and Joe Varden here did

1035
00:47:11,560 --> 00:47:13,440
Speaker 4: a great job with a reporting here and that's what

1036
00:47:13,480 --> 00:47:16,840
Speaker 4: it came down to. So only if you basically showed

1037
00:47:16,880 --> 00:47:19,360
Speaker 4: symptoms would you then have to test, and then you

1038
00:47:19,440 --> 00:47:21,880
Speaker 4: have to report that test. And this is something I

1039
00:47:21,920 --> 00:47:24,799
Speaker 4: have wondered about because we know, like Steve Kerr missed

1040
00:47:24,800 --> 00:47:27,000
Speaker 4: a couple of games, Al Horford down in the Miami

1041
00:47:27,080 --> 00:47:28,400
Speaker 4: series missed the game.

1042
00:47:29,840 --> 00:47:31,040
Speaker 5: You know, now we're at.

1043
00:47:31,000 --> 00:47:34,080
Speaker 4: A different stage obviously of COVID because a lot of people,

1044
00:47:34,080 --> 00:47:36,400
Speaker 4: in fact, I would say most players in the NBA,

1045
00:47:36,560 --> 00:47:40,200
Speaker 4: except for a couple of course, still have been vaccinated

1046
00:47:40,239 --> 00:47:42,719
Speaker 4: and boosted, and so then your recovery time is a

1047
00:47:42,719 --> 00:47:46,600
Speaker 4: little bit quicker than if you haven't been vaccinated. And

1048
00:47:46,640 --> 00:47:49,680
Speaker 4: so now it's like sometimes a lot of it, I think,

1049
00:47:49,680 --> 00:47:51,200
Speaker 4: I think all of us have had it as well.

1050
00:47:51,280 --> 00:47:52,799
Speaker 4: You might feel off for a day or two, but

1051
00:47:52,800 --> 00:47:54,719
Speaker 4: you don't really feel like you're bed ridden for a

1052
00:47:54,719 --> 00:47:56,600
Speaker 4: lot of it. So if you're playing in the playoffs

1053
00:47:56,600 --> 00:47:57,960
Speaker 4: and it's like, man, i've got a bit of a sniff,

1054
00:47:57,960 --> 00:47:59,640
Speaker 4: I've got a bit of a running nose, maybe you

1055
00:47:59,680 --> 00:48:02,600
Speaker 4: don't want to test yourself in case you test positive

1056
00:48:02,640 --> 00:48:04,160
Speaker 4: and then you have to miss some time there. And

1057
00:48:04,200 --> 00:48:07,080
Speaker 4: so I think that's maybe what happened here, some guys

1058
00:48:07,080 --> 00:48:09,440
Speaker 4: were feeling a little bit worse for wear, and they

1059
00:48:09,480 --> 00:48:12,440
Speaker 4: either just just decided not to test themselves, or if

1060
00:48:12,440 --> 00:48:14,360
Speaker 4: they got the result, they just didn't tell anybody.

1061
00:48:14,680 --> 00:48:15,160
Speaker 1: I'm not sure.

1062
00:48:15,160 --> 00:48:17,840
Speaker 4: It's a very weird situation. Certainly, the way the Suns

1063
00:48:17,880 --> 00:48:21,360
Speaker 4: played that Game seven, it feels like something was happening

1064
00:48:21,400 --> 00:48:23,719
Speaker 4: within that locker room. Exactly what it was, no one

1065
00:48:23,800 --> 00:48:26,200
Speaker 4: really knows, but it feels like there was an impact here.

1066
00:48:26,200 --> 00:48:27,840
Speaker 4: I know that in that report as well, some of

1067
00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:30,040
Speaker 4: the mads were saying there was a rumor before Game

1068
00:48:30,080 --> 00:48:35,080
Speaker 4: five that some of the Sons had again symptoms potentially

1069
00:48:35,120 --> 00:48:36,880
Speaker 4: the virus here. And so it's a bit of a

1070
00:48:36,920 --> 00:48:39,960
Speaker 4: tricky spot here for the NBA, because do you have

1071
00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:41,719
Speaker 4: to come in and say, right, we have to test

1072
00:48:41,719 --> 00:48:44,680
Speaker 4: everybody again and if independently and if they test positive,

1073
00:48:44,680 --> 00:48:46,799
Speaker 4: then they're out no matter what, or do you do

1074
00:48:47,120 --> 00:48:50,680
Speaker 4: you know, trust the teams to be honest about their

1075
00:48:50,719 --> 00:48:53,680
Speaker 4: own testing and therefore then reporting it. Seems to me,

1076
00:48:54,239 --> 00:48:58,279
Speaker 4: again speculating somewhat that maybe the Suns some of their

1077
00:48:58,320 --> 00:49:02,399
Speaker 4: players had it or effected they had it, but either

1078
00:49:02,400 --> 00:49:04,759
Speaker 4: didn't test or just didn't report it. And that's where

1079
00:49:04,800 --> 00:49:07,719
Speaker 4: I think this article was sort of alluding to that

1080
00:49:07,920 --> 00:49:09,839
Speaker 4: there was a bit of an issue with that.

1081
00:49:11,440 --> 00:49:12,680
Speaker 1: Task or tray any thoughts on this.

1082
00:49:15,200 --> 00:49:18,279
Speaker 5: My only thoughts really are that, you know, we were

1083
00:49:18,280 --> 00:49:20,719
Speaker 5: wondering what was happening with Phoenix at the end of

1084
00:49:20,719 --> 00:49:23,040
Speaker 5: that series, because everybody talks about the thirty three point

1085
00:49:23,360 --> 00:49:25,759
Speaker 5: Game seven loss. That was obviously a very weird thing

1086
00:49:25,760 --> 00:49:27,839
Speaker 5: to see, but they lost Game six by twenty seven

1087
00:49:27,880 --> 00:49:29,880
Speaker 5: as well, So there was a lot going on behind

1088
00:49:29,880 --> 00:49:33,000
Speaker 5: the scenes with the Suns, it seems, with the drama

1089
00:49:33,040 --> 00:49:36,480
Speaker 5: between Manny Williams and DeAndre eight and how his tenure

1090
00:49:36,520 --> 00:49:38,839
Speaker 5: with the Suns maybe coming to an end. Obviously we've

1091
00:49:38,880 --> 00:49:43,160
Speaker 5: got this COVID outbreak as well. It definitely puts that

1092
00:49:43,239 --> 00:49:45,479
Speaker 5: series into a little bit different light, seeing the way

1093
00:49:45,640 --> 00:49:48,560
Speaker 5: that you know, the Sun's just completely petered out at

1094
00:49:48,560 --> 00:49:51,719
Speaker 5: the end of that series. Considering during the twenty twenty

1095
00:49:51,719 --> 00:49:53,680
Speaker 5: one season when they were made a run to the finals,

1096
00:49:53,719 --> 00:49:55,400
Speaker 5: they were one of the best teams in the league

1097
00:49:55,400 --> 00:49:58,360
Speaker 5: at not getting COVID and keeping their players on the

1098
00:49:58,360 --> 00:50:01,440
Speaker 5: court and pointing the exact same way. Something went wrong

1099
00:50:01,719 --> 00:50:06,040
Speaker 5: quite clearly late in this series, and at least this

1100
00:50:06,080 --> 00:50:07,960
Speaker 5: is a little bit of an explanation why, but just

1101
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:10,680
Speaker 5: a very very strange way for their season and maybe

1102
00:50:10,719 --> 00:50:11,960
Speaker 5: this era of the Suns to end.

1103
00:50:13,320 --> 00:50:16,400
Speaker 2: But still, who the heck knows what happens may have

1104
00:50:16,440 --> 00:50:18,839
Speaker 2: been that everyone was healthy on the Phoenix Suns. There

1105
00:50:18,880 --> 00:50:21,880
Speaker 2: was an assistant coach who tested positive, Brian Gates, that

1106
00:50:21,960 --> 00:50:24,440
Speaker 2: was revealed, and there was one player who tested positive

1107
00:50:24,520 --> 00:50:27,680
Speaker 2: after Game seven on the Suns, but that name not

1108
00:50:27,719 --> 00:50:31,200
Speaker 2: revealed because the Sons haven't revealed it themselves and that's it,

1109
00:50:31,320 --> 00:50:34,360
Speaker 2: so they may have had a reason. It was odd

1110
00:50:34,400 --> 00:50:37,399
Speaker 2: to see what happened with even Chris Paul after Game

1111
00:50:37,560 --> 00:50:41,680
Speaker 2: two and how that team fell apart. Yeah, very strange.

1112
00:50:41,840 --> 00:50:46,600
Speaker 2: I don't think this answers anything really, but yeah, it

1113
00:50:46,680 --> 00:50:50,360
Speaker 2: provides potentially a reason for what happened to the Suns

1114
00:50:50,360 --> 00:50:53,640
Speaker 2: in that series. But then going forward into the Conference Finals,

1115
00:50:54,320 --> 00:50:56,799
Speaker 2: the MAVs were all good. It felt like, you know,

1116
00:50:56,840 --> 00:50:59,960
Speaker 2: no one, no reports of sniffles, no reports of end,

1117
00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:03,759
Speaker 2: anyone being under the weather or anything. So it sure

1118
00:51:03,760 --> 00:51:06,760
Speaker 2: feels like the MAVs didn't contract the virus from the Suns.

1119
00:51:06,800 --> 00:51:09,879
Speaker 2: But again, it is an honor system and that's why

1120
00:51:09,920 --> 00:51:13,880
Speaker 2: it's it's all speculation at this point.

1121
00:51:14,880 --> 00:51:18,240
Speaker 1: Final one here back to the Jazz. According to WOJ,

1122
00:51:19,160 --> 00:51:23,279
Speaker 1: Utah has received permission to interview several assistant coaches in

1123
00:51:23,320 --> 00:51:26,400
Speaker 1: their search for Quinn's Night's replacement. The list is including

1124
00:51:26,880 --> 00:51:30,960
Speaker 1: Nick Johnny Bryant, the Milwaukee Bucks, Charles Lee, Boston Celtics

1125
00:51:31,000 --> 00:51:34,760
Speaker 1: assistant coaches Will Hardy and Joe Mazzula, and then Utah

1126
00:51:34,920 --> 00:51:38,760
Speaker 1: also intends to interview their own assistant coach in Alex

1127
00:51:38,880 --> 00:51:42,200
Speaker 1: Jensen and former Blazer's head coach Terry Stotts. So, I

1128
00:51:42,200 --> 00:51:44,239
Speaker 1: know we've talked about this a little bit already. I

1129
00:51:44,280 --> 00:51:48,040
Speaker 1: think the most interesting thing here Lee from woj's report

1130
00:51:48,120 --> 00:51:51,840
Speaker 1: on this or the update on this, is Danny Ainge

1131
00:51:51,880 --> 00:51:55,320
Speaker 1: says there's no urgency to hire a head coach before

1132
00:51:55,400 --> 00:51:58,000
Speaker 1: the draft or the start a free agency. And I'm

1133
00:51:58,040 --> 00:52:00,000
Speaker 1: just wanting to get your take on that. Are you

1134
00:52:00,239 --> 00:52:03,640
Speaker 1: surprised by that? Doesn't concern like, not a concern to

1135
00:52:03,680 --> 00:52:05,880
Speaker 1: you at all? Danny ines thinking, because a lot of

1136
00:52:05,880 --> 00:52:07,319
Speaker 1: times you hear like, you know, you want to get

1137
00:52:07,320 --> 00:52:11,200
Speaker 1: the coach in place for drafting guys and moving forward.

1138
00:52:11,239 --> 00:52:12,120
Speaker 1: But what do you think about that?

1139
00:52:12,520 --> 00:52:14,560
Speaker 4: Maybe Danny Ainge is angling to get back on the

1140
00:52:14,600 --> 00:52:18,160
Speaker 4: bench himself. There and he's like, maybe I can coach

1141
00:52:18,200 --> 00:52:21,160
Speaker 4: these guys now, I look, who knows exactly. I think

1142
00:52:21,200 --> 00:52:23,960
Speaker 4: it's just that sort of slow, meticulous approach. He wants

1143
00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:26,720
Speaker 4: to get the right guy, and he wants to interview

1144
00:52:26,760 --> 00:52:30,200
Speaker 4: as many candidates as he feels could fulfill this job.

1145
00:52:31,120 --> 00:52:33,800
Speaker 4: But I guess as well, there is some uncertainty still

1146
00:52:34,000 --> 00:52:37,040
Speaker 4: with the playing personnel, and maybe he wants to address

1147
00:52:37,040 --> 00:52:39,480
Speaker 4: that first. So then whoever the coach is doesn't come

1148
00:52:39,520 --> 00:52:40,960
Speaker 4: in and they get the same question, like, all right,

1149
00:52:40,960 --> 00:52:42,480
Speaker 4: so what are we doing Is that Rudy's team is

1150
00:52:42,480 --> 00:52:44,440
Speaker 4: at Donovan's team will be training these guys. Are they

1151
00:52:44,480 --> 00:52:45,840
Speaker 4: both going to be here, We're going to move on

1152
00:52:46,000 --> 00:52:49,520
Speaker 4: or we're rebuilding. So maybe Danny Aingel's thought process is,

1153
00:52:49,920 --> 00:52:51,960
Speaker 4: let me take care of that side of it first,

1154
00:52:52,640 --> 00:52:54,160
Speaker 4: and then the coach will have a bit more of

1155
00:52:54,200 --> 00:52:57,920
Speaker 4: an idea of what we expect from him, given you know,

1156
00:52:58,200 --> 00:53:00,560
Speaker 4: as we probably expect they'll make it at least one

1157
00:53:00,640 --> 00:53:03,640
Speaker 4: large move here trading one of those guys. So that's

1158
00:53:03,680 --> 00:53:05,799
Speaker 4: all I can think of. I mean, you know, again,

1159
00:53:05,880 --> 00:53:08,960
Speaker 4: Danny Ainge as the newest GM there. I think he's

1160
00:53:09,000 --> 00:53:12,000
Speaker 4: been there about a year or so, now he wants

1161
00:53:12,040 --> 00:53:13,600
Speaker 4: to make an impact and he wants to sort of

1162
00:53:13,600 --> 00:53:15,360
Speaker 4: build this team. He did a good job there in

1163
00:53:15,400 --> 00:53:17,800
Speaker 4: the Boston Celtics there, I mean, he won a championship

1164
00:53:17,800 --> 00:53:20,759
Speaker 4: and he left behind a pretty good roster as well.

1165
00:53:20,800 --> 00:53:22,560
Speaker 4: So I guess he's trying to take that same approach

1166
00:53:22,560 --> 00:53:24,680
Speaker 4: where he's like, let me figure out these things on

1167
00:53:24,719 --> 00:53:26,960
Speaker 4: my own timeline. He knows there's going to be plenty

1168
00:53:26,960 --> 00:53:29,680
Speaker 4: of good candidates, and I guess he'll just decide when

1169
00:53:29,719 --> 00:53:31,000
Speaker 4: he feels the time is right.

1170
00:53:32,320 --> 00:53:34,759
Speaker 1: Was also in the article says that Jensen, who is

1171
00:53:34,760 --> 00:53:37,120
Speaker 1: the assistant coach for Utah, he will be the primary

1172
00:53:37,160 --> 00:53:40,600
Speaker 1: coach for the Jazz offseason, and I guess he's expected

1173
00:53:40,600 --> 00:53:43,440
Speaker 1: to coach Utah's summer league team too. Not that that

1174
00:53:43,600 --> 00:53:46,560
Speaker 1: matters at all, but you know, you're in control of

1175
00:53:46,600 --> 00:53:48,879
Speaker 1: these things, and I wonder if he can impress, maybe

1176
00:53:48,880 --> 00:53:50,239
Speaker 1: he does get this job. But there's a lot of

1177
00:53:50,320 --> 00:53:53,120
Speaker 1: names tass obviously floating around here out if you have

1178
00:53:53,160 --> 00:53:55,360
Speaker 1: any thoughts on who gets the job ultimately.

1179
00:53:56,320 --> 00:53:59,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's interesting that the Jazz could potentially go internally.

1180
00:54:00,160 --> 00:54:03,240
Speaker 2: For sure, I just think up top with Danny Ainge,

1181
00:54:04,040 --> 00:54:07,759
Speaker 2: he's just been bottling up this need to make some

1182
00:54:07,880 --> 00:54:10,440
Speaker 2: trades for so long, it's just gonna happen. They're just

1183
00:54:10,480 --> 00:54:13,799
Speaker 2: gonna They're gonna start roll and him and hell get

1184
00:54:13,880 --> 00:54:15,960
Speaker 2: Justin's aanak the GM to do the dirty work, you

1185
00:54:15,960 --> 00:54:18,520
Speaker 2: make the calls and all that. But Trader Danny's gonna

1186
00:54:18,520 --> 00:54:21,360
Speaker 2: make some trades. I think I think they're gonna start flowing.

1187
00:54:21,880 --> 00:54:24,239
Speaker 2: And you can hear the excitement in my voice because

1188
00:54:24,239 --> 00:54:27,080
Speaker 2: I know NBA fans are going to be excited here

1189
00:54:27,080 --> 00:54:29,959
Speaker 2: in a month when all this stuff starts to go down,

1190
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:32,040
Speaker 2: even a month, I say around the free agency, but

1191
00:54:32,760 --> 00:54:36,720
Speaker 2: even around Yeah, the draft is two weeks today, so

1192
00:54:36,840 --> 00:54:39,200
Speaker 2: that could happen. Then exciting stuff.

1193
00:54:39,920 --> 00:54:42,719
Speaker 1: Are you saying you're getting excited for an emergency podcast

1194
00:54:42,800 --> 00:54:46,400
Speaker 1: when Rudy Gober gets traded to trade Chicago bulls?

1195
00:54:46,640 --> 00:54:49,080
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I will go Bear, I will go there,

1196
00:54:49,200 --> 00:54:53,080
Speaker 2: and do I know it wasn't amazing, but whatever, Yes,

1197
00:54:53,160 --> 00:54:57,160
Speaker 2: I'm ready. I'm ready to talk Rudy love my emergency podcast.

1198
00:54:57,200 --> 00:54:59,359
Speaker 2: I will do an emergency podcast for a four way

1199
00:54:59,400 --> 00:55:03,760
Speaker 2: trade involve thing Serge of Baka, Marvin Bagley, the Second, Dante,

1200
00:55:03,800 --> 00:55:09,040
Speaker 2: Dean Vincenzo and somebody else.

1201
00:55:09,560 --> 00:55:11,279
Speaker 5: Yeah, somebody else, another guy.

1202
00:55:12,080 --> 00:55:16,040
Speaker 2: I get that Trey Lyles stuff happened from Detroit.

1203
00:55:16,400 --> 00:55:18,200
Speaker 1: You're so close to I have no idea what the

1204
00:55:18,200 --> 00:55:20,680
Speaker 1: answer is though. Are we doing an emergency podcast tray

1205
00:55:20,840 --> 00:55:24,120
Speaker 1: when uh, I don't know. Johnny Bryant gets named the

1206
00:55:24,239 --> 00:55:25,480
Speaker 1: Utah Jazz head coach?

1207
00:55:27,520 --> 00:55:32,479
Speaker 5: No? No, uh? What would what coach would like earn

1208
00:55:32,520 --> 00:55:36,080
Speaker 5: an emergency podcast? I don't think he can pop a bitch?

1209
00:55:36,120 --> 00:55:39,200
Speaker 5: Retiring would be an emergency podcast that would like maybe

1210
00:55:39,280 --> 00:55:41,560
Speaker 5: lead an a block if it's a slow news day.

1211
00:55:41,760 --> 00:55:44,279
Speaker 1: Phil Jackson, Phil Jackson, come on the back.

1212
00:55:44,320 --> 00:55:47,280
Speaker 5: Okay, if he comes back, we're doing an emergency triangle

1213
00:55:47,320 --> 00:55:48,040
Speaker 5: cast for sure.

1214
00:55:48,440 --> 00:55:52,319
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, that's a good question. I can't think of. Really, Lee,

1215
00:55:52,480 --> 00:55:54,080
Speaker 1: is there anyone else that we're like, Wow, we got

1216
00:55:54,200 --> 00:55:55,200
Speaker 1: to talk about this right now.

1217
00:55:55,320 --> 00:55:57,920
Speaker 4: Wow, Derek Fisher just got fired. That that didn't really

1218
00:55:57,960 --> 00:56:01,640
Speaker 4: cause anyone to go for a mine podcast. Now it's tough.

1219
00:56:02,000 --> 00:56:04,440
Speaker 4: I mean Spalstra, but obviously nothing's going to happen.

1220
00:56:04,440 --> 00:56:10,040
Speaker 1: Then you're saying you're saying someone getting canned, Yeah, in

1221
00:56:10,040 --> 00:56:13,200
Speaker 1: an emergency, I guess out of nowhere? Pop Yeah, if

1222
00:56:13,200 --> 00:56:17,400
Speaker 1: Popovich gets fired, Okay, that would be straight up fire. Interesting,

1223
00:56:18,520 --> 00:56:21,080
Speaker 1: maybe would call for an emergency podcast. Okay, we'll see

1224
00:56:21,120 --> 00:56:23,719
Speaker 1: who you tell ultimately decides on. Though again, Danny Ainge

1225
00:56:23,800 --> 00:56:26,640
Speaker 1: is in no rush by all accounts. We might have

1226
00:56:26,719 --> 00:56:29,279
Speaker 1: the draft and maybe trades like Tess said, and start

1227
00:56:29,280 --> 00:56:31,920
Speaker 1: a free agency and they may not even have their

1228
00:56:31,960 --> 00:56:33,920
Speaker 1: head coach in place. Sat very possible, and.

1229
00:56:33,960 --> 00:56:35,520
Speaker 5: Test is right. It might just be a case of

1230
00:56:35,640 --> 00:56:38,560
Speaker 5: age being like, we don't need one more voice coming

1231
00:56:38,600 --> 00:56:41,000
Speaker 5: in here. All of the voices in the Jazz front

1232
00:56:41,040 --> 00:56:43,600
Speaker 5: office are pretty fresh. Like you said, Skeets, that got

1233
00:56:43,640 --> 00:56:45,680
Speaker 5: Alex Jensen there, who's going to be handling kind of

1234
00:56:45,680 --> 00:56:47,680
Speaker 5: like the day to day coaching stuff. They're going to

1235
00:56:47,719 --> 00:56:49,879
Speaker 5: continue to run things by him, which maybe that puts

1236
00:56:49,920 --> 00:56:52,400
Speaker 5: him in a nice position going forward. But he's like,

1237
00:56:52,480 --> 00:56:54,560
Speaker 5: let me focus on this. I'll get the players. We'll

1238
00:56:54,560 --> 00:56:56,200
Speaker 5: bring in a guy to lead him thereafter.

1239
00:56:56,800 --> 00:56:59,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, let's take our final break and when

1244
00:57:11,560 --> 00:57:15,000
Speaker 2: Night, tweet out the night.

1245
00:57:15,760 --> 00:57:23,360
Speaker 3: Wow, all right, all right, all right, we know outward

1246
00:57:23,360 --> 00:57:27,800
Speaker 3: Trey Kirby has had a previous relationship with the One

1247
00:57:27,800 --> 00:57:28,640
Speaker 3: and Only Guy.

1248
00:57:28,480 --> 00:57:32,760
Speaker 2: Fiery, hung out with him a couple times. Can you

1249
00:57:32,800 --> 00:57:34,480
Speaker 2: call it a hangout, Trey? I guess you can call

1250
00:57:34,520 --> 00:57:35,080
Speaker 2: it a hangout.

1251
00:57:35,320 --> 00:57:39,520
Speaker 5: When you're touching fists, you're hanging out. Is that true?

1252
00:57:39,560 --> 00:57:39,920
Speaker 4: I don't know.

1253
00:57:40,720 --> 00:57:43,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, We've been in the same spots multiple.

1254
00:57:43,160 --> 00:57:49,840
Speaker 2: Times, multiple times, multiple fist bumps, and the same person

1255
00:57:50,160 --> 00:57:54,439
Speaker 2: who took a photo of you and Guy Fiery fist

1256
00:57:54,520 --> 00:57:57,280
Speaker 2: bumping le Els was there. So I thought there's some

1257
00:57:57,320 --> 00:58:00,240
Speaker 2: potential there with Guy Ferry in the building. And I

1258
00:58:00,240 --> 00:58:03,600
Speaker 2: saw your tweet tray because people were asking. People want

1259
00:58:03,640 --> 00:58:07,120
Speaker 2: to know, is Trake urb we gonna fist bump Guy Fiery?

1260
00:58:07,840 --> 00:58:10,760
Speaker 2: So you hit up Guy Fiery on Twitter? Many people

1261
00:58:10,800 --> 00:58:13,760
Speaker 2: asking if we can fist bump, So let's get the report.

1262
00:58:14,120 --> 00:58:15,640
Speaker 2: Anywhere near a fist pump tray?

1263
00:58:17,320 --> 00:58:20,080
Speaker 5: No, I would say nowhere near is the exact way

1264
00:58:20,160 --> 00:58:23,720
Speaker 5: to describe it. Tasks. Guy had probably the best seats

1265
00:58:23,720 --> 00:58:26,120
Speaker 5: in the house, and Lee and I had the farthest

1266
00:58:26,160 --> 00:58:28,960
Speaker 5: seats in the house. I was reaching, I was reaching

1267
00:58:29,000 --> 00:58:32,400
Speaker 5: from the rafters, but Guy couldn't get the fist all

1268
00:58:32,400 --> 00:58:35,960
Speaker 5: the way up there. Unfortunately, seems to I have been

1269
00:58:36,000 --> 00:58:40,280
Speaker 5: replaced by another Internet content slanger. Unfortunate.

1270
00:58:43,000 --> 00:58:44,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought there was a chance, you know, because

1271
00:58:45,000 --> 00:58:47,560
Speaker 2: I think both times I know he's been on our show.

1272
00:58:47,800 --> 00:58:50,080
Speaker 2: Who's one of our top seventy five guests. Go back

1273
00:58:50,120 --> 00:58:53,240
Speaker 2: and check go back and check out those three episodes

1274
00:58:53,280 --> 00:58:57,120
Speaker 2: we dropped during the All Star break is when we

1275
00:58:57,200 --> 00:58:59,680
Speaker 2: dropped him. But you happen to just come across some

1276
00:59:00,120 --> 00:59:03,640
Speaker 2: he's just happenstance outside our show at All Star weekends,

1277
00:59:03,680 --> 00:59:07,560
Speaker 2: I think, yeah, and yeah, and Finals as well, I think.

1278
00:59:07,480 --> 00:59:10,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, exactly right. It was All Star week first one

1279
00:59:10,920 --> 00:59:14,200
Speaker 5: was All Star weekend in New Orleans when we saw

1280
00:59:14,720 --> 00:59:16,400
Speaker 5: saw a guy on the street I think it was me,

1281
00:59:16,520 --> 00:59:19,000
Speaker 5: Mattio and Lee. Lee snapped a picture that was awesome.

1282
00:59:19,040 --> 00:59:21,680
Speaker 5: Then we saw him again in the bowels of the

1283
00:59:21,720 --> 00:59:24,600
Speaker 5: arena in Charlotte for All Star and that's when I

1284
00:59:24,640 --> 00:59:26,520
Speaker 5: just randomly ran into him. And then he's obviously been

1285
00:59:26,560 --> 00:59:28,440
Speaker 5: there at the Finals quite a few times. Did an

1286
00:59:28,440 --> 00:59:31,800
Speaker 5: interview with him here here and there. So I don't know,

1287
00:59:31,880 --> 00:59:33,880
Speaker 5: we'll see if he's back for Game four. I'm trying

1288
00:59:33,880 --> 00:59:36,320
Speaker 5: to get in touch with him. Was messaging last night.

1289
00:59:36,360 --> 00:59:39,640
Speaker 5: He said how's life, brother, But I was already I

1290
00:59:39,680 --> 00:59:41,400
Speaker 5: was already asleep by then. I saw he was wearing

1291
00:59:41,400 --> 00:59:44,560
Speaker 5: a Guy's Grocery Games ring, which gave me an inn.

1292
00:59:44,640 --> 00:59:46,280
Speaker 5: I said, hey, man, how can I get one of

1293
00:59:46,320 --> 00:59:51,640
Speaker 5: these GGG rings? He said, yeah, right, Well he.

00:59:53,920 --> 00:59:56,320
Speaker 4: just opening around the garden there. I think as well.

1296
00:59:56,400 --> 00:59:57,600
Speaker 5: There are a lot of signs.

Speaker 5: don't know if I could see Paul McCartney wearing a

1311
01:00:50,640 --> 01:00:54,280

Speaker 5: documentary that was out earlier this year. Uh, he did

1313

01:00:59,280 --> 01:01:01,560
Speaker 5: Abbey Roads. Maybe he'd be interested. That's more of a

1315
01:01:01,640 --> 01:01:03,360
Speaker 5: David Byurn sorry suit if you ask me.

1325
01:01:30,640 --> 01:01:35,320
Speaker 4: Was pouring with rain this morning, conflicting reports. The radar

1326
01:01:35,640 --> 01:01:38,440
Speaker 4: on the Weather Network says we've got a clear afternoon,

1327
01:01:38,560 --> 01:01:41,720
Speaker 4: but the actual like hour buy Our breakdown says it's

1328
01:01:41,720 --> 01:01:43,800
Speaker 4: gonna rain this afternoon. So I'm not sure who to believe.

1331

1350
01:02:36,200 --> 01:02:39,360
Speaker 5: just denying their complete existence. Sorry, they don't exist to me.

1351
01:02:40,160 --> 01:02:41,960
Speaker 4: Well, listen, listen. When you're in a city like this,

1352
01:02:42,040 --> 01:02:44,240
Speaker 4: If I see anyone with one of those golf umbrellas,

1353
01:02:44,480 --> 01:02:46,439
Speaker 4: you know, with a tiny bit of rain and someone

1354
01:02:46,440 --> 01:02:49,240
Speaker 4: has to have the big marquee over their head, that's

1355
01:02:49,240 --> 01:02:51,320
Speaker 4: going to upset me. That's gonna be I'm gonna I'm

1356
01:02:51,360 --> 01:02:53,600
Speaker 4: gonna unload on someone like that. You don't need, you

1357
01:02:53,600 --> 01:02:56,919
Speaker 4: don't need to protect your entire existence from a drop

1358
01:02:56,960 --> 01:02:59,080
Speaker 4: of water. Okay, just put a little bit over there,

1359
01:02:59,360 --> 01:03:01,680
Speaker 4: walk along, kick the ryan off you, that's all. You

1360
01:03:01,680 --> 01:03:03,920
Speaker 4: don't need to be like. Anyone that comes within twenty

1361
01:03:03,960 --> 01:03:06,840
Speaker 4: five feet of me is likely to touch my umbrella, Matt.

1362
01:03:07,680 --> 01:03:09,880
Speaker 1: Okay, So if you're gonna wear, if you're gonna rock

1363
01:03:09,920 --> 01:03:15,320
Speaker 1: an umbrella, just make sure it's small. Yes, Okay, excellent guys.

Speaker 5: Love you guys, awesome.

1368
01:03:24,920 --> 01:03:27,720
Speaker 2: Thanks for joining us. And remember I had no idea

1369
01:03:27,800 --> 01:03:30,360
Speaker 2: you were an umbrella, Denier Lee. I used to work

1370
01:03:30,400 --> 01:03:33,600
Speaker 2: with a man at TSN who grew up in a

1371
01:03:33,640 --> 01:03:35,760
Speaker 2: small town in eastern Canada, I think it was in

1372
01:03:35,840 --> 01:03:40,080
Speaker 2: Nova Scotia, and he said that anyone who pulled out

1373
01:03:40,080 --> 01:03:45,120
Speaker 2: an umbrella would be chastised, would be destroyed, like you couldn't.

1374
01:03:45,400 --> 01:03:49,000
Speaker 2: You couldn't carry an umbrella because it just meant you're soft.

1375
01:03:50,840 --> 01:03:54,400
Speaker 2: To me, it just means you're dry. I don't think

1376
01:03:54,400 --> 01:03:57,400
Speaker 2: it's a big deal, but in this town, I think

1377
01:03:57,440 --> 01:03:58,680
Speaker 2: they burned all the umbrellas.

1378
01:04:00,680 --> 01:04:02,400
Speaker 1: I got a little fact for you. Brace the day

1379
01:04:02,400 --> 01:04:02,760
Speaker 1: of people

1380
01:04:13,920 --> 01:04:14,440
Speaker 4: Just like me.
