WEBVTT - Finals thoughts after Celtics go up 2-0

0:00:10.080 --> 0:00:16.040
<v Speaker 1>Woo. The Celtics did the thing that they always do

0:00:16.480 --> 0:00:17.239
<v Speaker 1>in Game.

0:00:17.040 --> 0:00:19.279
<v Speaker 2>Two, and they come out and they stink.

0:00:20.600 --> 0:00:24.840
<v Speaker 1>This was the opportunity for the Dallas Mavericks to steal one,

0:00:25.880 --> 0:00:27.400
<v Speaker 1>and yet they.

0:00:27.280 --> 0:00:31.760
<v Speaker 2>Sit here up to zero. Holden whole court. These are

0:00:31.840 --> 0:00:34.800
<v Speaker 2>the takeaways. Like I said, Game.

0:00:34.600 --> 0:00:38.640
<v Speaker 1>Two, Celtics at the crib, what do they do normally

0:00:38.640 --> 0:00:42.040
<v Speaker 1>loose or they put up a stinker, And that's what

0:00:42.080 --> 0:00:42.520
<v Speaker 1>they did.

0:00:42.920 --> 0:00:46.279
<v Speaker 2>They shot twenty five percent from three to night.

0:00:47.320 --> 0:00:49.559
<v Speaker 1>The threes that they actually did make were in the

0:00:49.600 --> 0:00:53.800
<v Speaker 1>second half. But in this game, they found a way

0:00:54.120 --> 0:00:56.440
<v Speaker 1>to get that shit done. They found a way to

0:00:56.520 --> 0:00:59.680
<v Speaker 1>have timely threes to get a ton of points from

0:00:59.720 --> 0:01:02.640
<v Speaker 1>Drew Holiday. Drew Holiday had a huge game. He had

0:01:02.640 --> 0:01:08.160
<v Speaker 1>twenty six crucial stops. He was like White on Rice

0:01:08.200 --> 0:01:12.520
<v Speaker 1>on Kyrie Irving, as was Dereck White. Speaking of Derek White,

0:01:12.520 --> 0:01:16.920
<v Speaker 1>Derek White saved the game potentially when it looked like PJ.

0:01:17.080 --> 0:01:20.360
<v Speaker 1>Washington was gonna cut it to three with fifty seconds

0:01:20.440 --> 0:01:20.920
<v Speaker 1>left to go.

0:01:21.200 --> 0:01:23.039
<v Speaker 2>But no, not only did he.

0:01:23.040 --> 0:01:27.600
<v Speaker 1>Hit crucial threes, Derek White, he blocked PJ. Washington even

0:01:27.600 --> 0:01:30.360
<v Speaker 1>though Jylen Brown filed PJ. Washington and probably should have

0:01:30.400 --> 0:01:31.240
<v Speaker 1>been two shots, but who.

0:01:31.200 --> 0:01:32.319
<v Speaker 2>Cares either way.

0:01:32.560 --> 0:01:36.880
<v Speaker 1>Derek White, huge game, Jalen Brown looking like one of

0:01:36.880 --> 0:01:39.759
<v Speaker 1>the best defenders in the league right now, picking up

0:01:39.840 --> 0:01:43.959
<v Speaker 1>Kyrie Irving, picking up Luca, picking up Luca ninety four

0:01:44.000 --> 0:01:48.520
<v Speaker 1>feet and still being able to score. So balance scoring,

0:01:49.080 --> 0:01:53.360
<v Speaker 1>balanced defensive efforts was something that really stuck out. Also,

0:01:53.440 --> 0:01:57.680
<v Speaker 1>Tatum had eighteen yet another game under twenty points.

0:01:57.800 --> 0:01:59.520
<v Speaker 2>But guess what, they didn't need him. They don't need

0:01:59.600 --> 0:01:59.960
<v Speaker 2>him to score.

0:02:00.360 --> 0:02:03.320
<v Speaker 1>He's gotta figure it out though, because like people are

0:02:03.360 --> 0:02:06.520
<v Speaker 1>starting to talk, the streets, the streets is talking, you know,

0:02:06.640 --> 0:02:09.120
<v Speaker 1>Tatum stands are starting to be like a t Yeah,

0:02:09.280 --> 0:02:11.840
<v Speaker 1>like I see it, I see it.

0:02:12.160 --> 0:02:13.560
<v Speaker 2>Another thing that stuck out.

0:02:13.400 --> 0:02:18.560
<v Speaker 1>To me free throw differential, not free throw attempt differential,

0:02:18.880 --> 0:02:23.440
<v Speaker 1>free throw percentage differential. Dallas shot sixty six percent from

0:02:23.440 --> 0:02:26.440
<v Speaker 1>the free throw line. That's unacceptable in the NBA Finals.

0:02:26.560 --> 0:02:27.280
<v Speaker 2>Unacceptable.

0:02:28.120 --> 0:02:30.720
<v Speaker 1>They started two for seven when they were up like six,

0:02:30.760 --> 0:02:35.480
<v Speaker 1>seven points, and that could have made it so much

0:02:35.520 --> 0:02:38.919
<v Speaker 1>of a chasm that maybe Boston doesn't have any fight.

0:02:39.240 --> 0:02:41.160
<v Speaker 1>Maybe Boston says, yep, this is the game too that

0:02:41.200 --> 0:02:43.959
<v Speaker 1>we always have, Like they did against the Miami Heat.

0:02:44.240 --> 0:02:47.079
<v Speaker 1>Boston shot ninety five percent from the free throw line.

0:02:47.080 --> 0:02:51.080
<v Speaker 1>They were nineteen for twenty. They shot twenty, had twenty.

0:02:50.760 --> 0:02:55.080
<v Speaker 2>Attempts, nineteen from the free throw line. Ooh, that's tough.

0:02:55.160 --> 0:02:58.400
<v Speaker 1>You can't do that if you're Dallas number three. Where

0:02:58.440 --> 0:03:01.959
<v Speaker 1>the fuck are the role players at?

0:03:02.880 --> 0:03:03.440
<v Speaker 2>Where are they?

0:03:04.400 --> 0:03:09.520
<v Speaker 1>Maxi klayba oh for four two points for Derek Lively.

0:03:09.680 --> 0:03:09.960
<v Speaker 2>PJ.

0:03:10.080 --> 0:03:12.200
<v Speaker 1>Washington was actually pretty good, so we will we will

0:03:12.240 --> 0:03:15.840
<v Speaker 1>not bang on him. Nine bench points for the Dallas

0:03:15.880 --> 0:03:18.919
<v Speaker 1>Mavericks nine disgusting.

0:03:20.760 --> 0:03:23.000
<v Speaker 2>Where is Kyrie at? He's not a he's not a

0:03:23.080 --> 0:03:26.160
<v Speaker 2>role player, but he's like acting like a role player.

0:03:26.960 --> 0:03:29.639
<v Speaker 2>He has not made it three this entire series. He's

0:03:29.760 --> 0:03:33.040
<v Speaker 2>oh for eight, seven for nineteen from the field. In

0:03:33.080 --> 0:03:36.520
<v Speaker 2>game two, he and he started off hot. I think

0:03:36.560 --> 0:03:38.760
<v Speaker 2>he was four for five start only made three more

0:03:38.760 --> 0:03:45.440
<v Speaker 2>shots out of that. Fourthly, golly, Luca.

0:03:45.160 --> 0:03:47.760
<v Speaker 1>Donic's is gonna spend the next month in an ice

0:03:47.840 --> 0:03:51.120
<v Speaker 1>bath and getting like soft tissue treatment and probably surgery.

0:03:51.360 --> 0:03:54.280
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. Like it's bad. His knee is bad.

0:03:54.520 --> 0:03:59.120
<v Speaker 2>He had a cardiac thoracic issue.

0:03:59.600 --> 0:04:03.200
<v Speaker 1>Which out of who knows where that made him from

0:04:03.240 --> 0:04:06.800
<v Speaker 1>like definitely playing to like questionable in the game that

0:04:07.000 --> 0:04:10.640
<v Speaker 1>he didn't even participate fully in shoot around. He was

0:04:10.720 --> 0:04:15.360
<v Speaker 1>so mummified. I wasn't sure whether he was gonna make

0:04:15.360 --> 0:04:19.640
<v Speaker 1>it out tough. He looked super hobbled out there. He

0:04:19.760 --> 0:04:22.960
<v Speaker 1>started out really really hot, got Boston a double team,

0:04:23.000 --> 0:04:26.440
<v Speaker 1>and Boston obviously does not trust the role players on Dallas,

0:04:26.440 --> 0:04:31.880
<v Speaker 1>which is totally warranted. His acrobatic passes were getting picked.

0:04:32.400 --> 0:04:36.040
<v Speaker 1>It was sloppy. He looked slow, He looked one dimensional.

0:04:36.240 --> 0:04:38.560
<v Speaker 1>He was hitting buckets, he was getting them now, boy,

0:04:38.839 --> 0:04:42.200
<v Speaker 1>but he did not look right and it really impacted him.

0:04:42.200 --> 0:04:44.760
<v Speaker 1>In the second half. He was eight for eleven on

0:04:44.839 --> 0:04:47.640
<v Speaker 1>his first eleven shots, and then he went three for

0:04:47.760 --> 0:04:50.159
<v Speaker 1>ten the rest of the game, and the fourth quarter

0:04:50.320 --> 0:04:54.880
<v Speaker 1>was even worse. So what does Dallas need to do well?

0:04:55.000 --> 0:04:57.640
<v Speaker 1>Kyrie needs to score thirty. That's just what it is.

0:04:58.120 --> 0:05:00.880
<v Speaker 1>We need Luca in an infrared SA for the next

0:05:00.960 --> 0:05:06.479
<v Speaker 1>forty eight hours. More opportunities for Daniel Gafford. He looked

0:05:06.520 --> 0:05:07.719
<v Speaker 1>really really good in the game.

0:05:08.080 --> 0:05:11.480
<v Speaker 2>PJ. Washington, you need PJ. Washington to bring the ball up.

0:05:11.680 --> 0:05:14.680
<v Speaker 1>I think like you need more of the ball in

0:05:14.760 --> 0:05:17.800
<v Speaker 1>his hands because he's a dynamic athlete. He can make

0:05:17.800 --> 0:05:20.119
<v Speaker 1>place for himself make place for others, and it takes

0:05:20.560 --> 0:05:22.599
<v Speaker 1>wear and tear off of Luca who's getting picked up

0:05:22.600 --> 0:05:23.359
<v Speaker 1>by Jaylen Brown.

0:05:24.279 --> 0:05:25.040
<v Speaker 2>And then you need.

0:05:24.920 --> 0:05:28.800
<v Speaker 1>Another horrendous shooting effort for Boston. They couldn't hit the

0:05:28.800 --> 0:05:31.080
<v Speaker 1>broadside of a barn and yet they still won that game.

0:05:31.120 --> 0:05:33.360
<v Speaker 2>That is big time trouble for you.

0:05:33.839 --> 0:05:36.760
<v Speaker 1>Gonna be really fascinating to see what Jason Kidd does

0:05:36.800 --> 0:05:40.160
<v Speaker 1>for Game three, they go back to Dallas, the booing

0:05:40.240 --> 0:05:43.680
<v Speaker 1>for Kyrie Irving will stop. Oh also a little like

0:05:43.800 --> 0:05:48.039
<v Speaker 1>side note, Chris dais porzingis tweak his cap so and

0:05:48.120 --> 0:05:51.000
<v Speaker 1>maybe it's ankle, So we'll see what happens with that

0:05:51.520 --> 0:05:52.240
<v Speaker 1>SKay tune
