We 16 00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:56,400 Speaker 1: wanted to talk about, you know, the Golden State Warriors 17 00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:59,240 Speaker 1: and what they're gonna do with their UH draft picks. Now. 18 00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:01,360 Speaker 1: They got the number him from Minnesota, and all signs 19 00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:04,039 Speaker 1: pointed them looking to make a move for another star player. 20 00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:08,479 Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden and like the last 21 00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:12,199 Speaker 1: thirty seconds of Game two, which took about thirty minutes 22 00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:15,600 Speaker 1: of real time. Everything that we're working on just got 23 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:17,320 Speaker 1: thrown out of the window. I don't mean a curse 24 00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:19,759 Speaker 1: on a podcast, but that's how we're feeling right now 25 00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:23,440 Speaker 1: at a nine o nine Pacific that we just after 26 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:26,800 Speaker 1: midnight on the East coast. Gavin, we're gonna go through it. 27 00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:29,360 Speaker 1: You know exactly what happened in the last thirty seconds. 28 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:32,360 Speaker 1: But tell me what kind of buzz you're feeling right 29 00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:35,040 Speaker 1: now immediately after what you just saw. I mean, that 30 00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:38,800 Speaker 1: game had like thirty different endings. At the end, you know, 31 00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:41,720 Speaker 1: Paul George looked like the hero and then he became 32 00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:43,680 Speaker 1: the goat. We're gonna get all into it, but oh 33 00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:46,200 Speaker 1: my god, and you're right about the time that game, 34 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:48,360 Speaker 1: we're looking at the clock. We're we have a time 35 00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 1: we're gonna record and and but um, oh my god, 36 00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:54,160 Speaker 1: that just that game just went on forever. So yeah, okay, 37 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,000 Speaker 1: so let's let me try to walk you through what 38 00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 1: happened there in like the last thirty seconds of the game. Now, 39 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:03,800 Speaker 1: keep in mind, the Phoenix Suns had not trailed in 40 00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:10,000 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter in eight straight games entering Game two. Okay, 41 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:13,200 Speaker 1: they had the lead late. I believe in the last 42 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:17,880 Speaker 1: minute and a half, even they were up in the 43 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 1: fourth quarter, the entire game, the entire fourth quarter. Excuse me. Suddenly, 44 00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,880 Speaker 1: Campaign in the last thirty six seconds decides he wants 45 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:30,079 Speaker 1: to attack zoo Bots former Laker zoo Bots. You know, 46 00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:32,640 Speaker 1: I gotta throw that in there, because he had been 47 00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:34,680 Speaker 1: the hot hand all night. Dvin Booker had an off game. 48 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,640 Speaker 1: He may or may not have broken his nose. You know, 49 00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:39,840 Speaker 1: it was not his night, to say the least for 50 00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:44,120 Speaker 1: most of Game two. So Campaign had been the star, 51 00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,760 Speaker 1: and and and and all. Quite honestly, you know, Gavin 52 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 1: pull back the curtain before these playoffs, and I know 53 00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:52,680 Speaker 1: that we had the whole regular season before that. Before 54 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,680 Speaker 1: these playoffs, I forgot that Campaign was in the NBA, 55 00:02:56,200 --> 00:03:00,400 Speaker 1: Like I had only known him as being Russell Westbrooks 56 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:02,200 Speaker 1: hype man for those pre game dat to see me 57 00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 1: back in Oklahoma City. Like I legitimately forgot he was 58 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:06,679 Speaker 1: in the NBA. But it was his not he was 59 00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:10,920 Speaker 1: having a great game. Last thirty seconds, Phoenix suns up 60 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 1: by one. Campaign attacks Zoobots in the paint, gets his 61 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:19,240 Speaker 1: shot blocked, Paul George gets the ball, races down the floor, 62 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:23,799 Speaker 1: splits two defenders, gets the layup Clippers up one oh 63 00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:29,959 Speaker 1: one to one hundred with thirty seconds left. Right down 64 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:37,200 Speaker 1: the court, here comes Devin Booker, immediately drained a fifteen 65 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:40,120 Speaker 1: foot pull up jumper. You had just mentioned earlier this 66 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:43,000 Speaker 1: week how much you enjoyed the mid range game of 67 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 1: Vin Booker beautiful shot, and so I'm thinking'm about to 68 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,160 Speaker 1: text Gavin. I'm like, man, you were talking about the 69 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,440 Speaker 1: mid range game, so it's fitting that the game winning 70 00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:53,480 Speaker 1: basket in this game would be a mid range jump shot. 71 00:03:55,280 --> 00:04:00,120 Speaker 1: Immediately after that, Paul George comes right back again, and 72 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 1: his maybe went out a little bit further than the 73 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:03,640 Speaker 1: mid range, but it was inside the three point line, 74 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:06,040 Speaker 1: so I'm gonna call it a mid range for argument's sake. 75 00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:08,440 Speaker 1: And he hits a jumper and he puts the Clippers 76 00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 1: back up by one. So at this point, I'm thinking 77 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:15,120 Speaker 1: about my Paul George legacy take and how great that's looking. 78 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:19,000 Speaker 1: Look at what he's doing to his playoff legacy, and 79 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:22,840 Speaker 1: so it's just incredible. Like we were were on the 80 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 1: edge of our seats, are going back and forth. Twenty 81 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:30,280 Speaker 1: seconds left, the Sun's come back down and Devin is 82 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 1: setting up for a Devin Booker. Either he's gonna make 83 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,360 Speaker 1: the game winning jumper and sons are gonna go up 84 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 1: to oh or he's gonna miss it. Clipper steal on 85 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 1: the road. Even at one one, Pat Beverley knocks the 86 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:44,800 Speaker 1: ball out of bounds. Now in forty six minutes of 87 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:48,720 Speaker 1: that game, it's off Pat beverley Son's ball out of bounds, 88 00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:54,080 Speaker 1: nine seconds left. But only in America do you have 89 00:04:54,600 --> 00:05:01,640 Speaker 1: quite possibly the worst instant replay rule in all of sports. 90 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:03,560 Speaker 1: I mean, we saw this back in twenty nineteen. I 91 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,800 Speaker 1: believe it was the National Championship game Texas Tech in Virginia, 92 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:09,800 Speaker 1: UM one of the Texas Tech was down by two. 93 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:11,680 Speaker 1: They're coming up with the court and DeAndre Hunter knocks 94 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 1: the ball out of bounce. But if you run it 95 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,400 Speaker 1: in super slow mode, and you can do this with 96 00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 1: every single time the ball is knocked out of bounced 97 00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:21,320 Speaker 1: by a defender, if you do it frame by frame, 98 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:24,800 Speaker 1: you're gonna see the ball roll off the fingers of 99 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:28,600 Speaker 1: whoever the ball handler is. Like during the rest of 100 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:30,719 Speaker 1: the game, you know that it's hey knocked out of bounce. 101 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:35,960 Speaker 1: It's out on the defender. That's it. But by for 102 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,040 Speaker 1: whatever reason. And I know that, I know there's a reason. 103 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:39,880 Speaker 1: You know, the reason is that that's just what happens 104 00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 1: when you knocked the ball out of someone's aid. If 105 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,640 Speaker 1: you were to do it frame by frame, you're gonna 106 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,440 Speaker 1: see the ball roll off somebody's fingers. And I was 107 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 1: getting ready to have a hot take on that. I was, 108 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:52,360 Speaker 1: I had my my notes getting together. I'm like, Ship, 109 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:54,159 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go off in the morning, me and Gavin 110 00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,600 Speaker 1: when we when we record in the morning, I'm gonna 111 00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,400 Speaker 1: have a big take about how the NBA he stick 112 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,279 Speaker 1: fixed this since and replay rule, because there's no reason 113 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:07,000 Speaker 1: why in forty six minutes of the game that play 114 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,560 Speaker 1: is off of Pat Beverley and the Sons get the ball. 115 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,160 Speaker 1: But and that's the thing, because you don't want that 116 00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:15,920 Speaker 1: game to go down to a referees decision. At this point, 117 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:18,200 Speaker 1: I thought Scott Foster was going to need the military 118 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:22,800 Speaker 1: to escorre him in Phoenix and so no. But you know, 119 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:26,520 Speaker 1: instead they run it back instant replay, which took like 120 00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:29,279 Speaker 1: seven eight minutes as they looked it over and and 121 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,760 Speaker 1: they determined it was off Devin Booker's hand, which it was. 122 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 1: And I'm not saying that it was not off his hand. 123 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:36,560 Speaker 1: I just don't like It's one of those things like 124 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 1: if you're you're the letter of the law versus the 125 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:40,320 Speaker 1: spirit of the law, you know what I mean, Like 126 00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,360 Speaker 1: the letter of the law, if whoever's handy was off 127 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:45,080 Speaker 1: last at two, what's off? But in the spirit of 128 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:48,240 Speaker 1: the law, you know, like we know that Pat Beverley 129 00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 1: knocked it at a bounds, Like I don't need to 130 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:54,239 Speaker 1: run it back and bit by bit, you know, instant 131 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:58,720 Speaker 1: replay to know what happened. So flash forward, Okay, Clippers 132 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:02,000 Speaker 1: get the ball. Everybody in Phoenix is piste off. They 133 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:05,680 Speaker 1: feel like they got hosed. They inbounded to Paul George. 134 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:09,720 Speaker 1: He gets fouled, and Gavin was already texting me. He's like, Hey, 135 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,640 Speaker 1: Paul George about to ice this. I'm about to be 136 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:16,400 Speaker 1: the smartest man in all the sports media. He remembered 137 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:24,120 Speaker 1: he was Paul George. He made a comeback, He misses two, 138 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:28,400 Speaker 1: And if I weren't so enthralled in the game, I 139 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:30,160 Speaker 1: would have fired off a tooth. This that ball don't 140 00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:33,680 Speaker 1: lie like that. That's how I felt it was. It 141 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 1: was wild, and honestly, I gotta feel bad for Paul 142 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:42,040 Speaker 1: George because he should have been the hero. Gavin. Yeah, 143 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:45,360 Speaker 1: and we'll talk about it, but I don't think this 144 00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:48,160 Speaker 1: is all on him. Well, we'll definitely get to it now. 145 00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:50,720 Speaker 1: If he's Lebron, if you're the best player in the league, 146 00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:54,640 Speaker 1: that's the narrative. But he's Paul George. He's polarizing his 147 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,680 Speaker 1: as anybody in the league, and he'll definitely get the blame. 148 00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:01,400 Speaker 1: But um oh man, And and you know what's funny 149 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:05,680 Speaker 1: is all of that happened? Okay, Clippers up by one, 150 00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:07,640 Speaker 1: one oh three, one oh two, Paul George mrs two 151 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:11,560 Speaker 1: free throws. There's eight seconds left, and you think, okay, 152 00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:14,800 Speaker 1: this is definitely where it's gonna come down to a 153 00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:20,240 Speaker 1: Devin Booker maker break to seal the game. Sons called 154 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:21,920 Speaker 1: time out. They advanced the ball into the front court. 155 00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:25,840 Speaker 1: They have the ball again on that far hash Mark. 156 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:29,360 Speaker 1: Devin Booker gets the ball, he gets double teamed. He 157 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:31,960 Speaker 1: passes it over to uh they believe was Jake Crowder. 158 00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:34,760 Speaker 1: Jay Crowder kicks it in the corner to macau Bridges. 159 00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:38,480 Speaker 1: Mystery pointer. Ball goes out of bounds. You think, hey, 160 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:41,440 Speaker 1: that's it. Clippers got this one after all. That ship 161 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:44,360 Speaker 1: that we just saw in the last thirty seconds. Clippers 162 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:48,280 Speaker 1: are gonna escape with a win. Shout out to Scott 163 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:50,679 Speaker 1: Foster again, and they just to replay crew because they 164 00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 1: come out and review this one as well. I believe 165 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:57,320 Speaker 1: there was four instant replays in the last two minutes. Gavin, Like, 166 00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:59,800 Speaker 1: I know, I'm a big basketball fan.

It was a really 176 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:26,120 Speaker 1: good game, and you saw on Twitter a lot of 177 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:28,400 Speaker 1: people were just lamenting the fact that the referees that 178 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:31,000 Speaker 1: kind of hijack things. I mean, like I just said, 179 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,640 Speaker 1: we we had four reviews in the last two minutes, 180 00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:36,959 Speaker 1: like it was terrible. But going back to what happened 181 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,160 Speaker 1: on the floor, mcal Bridges misses the three, it goes 182 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,960 Speaker 1: out of bounds, Clippers are celebrating. Terrence Man is clapping 183 00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,960 Speaker 1: it up real hard, like he's just just really going 184 00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:48,560 Speaker 1: at it. They run an instant replay again and I 185 00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:51,920 Speaker 1: don't know what they saw, because to me, it looked 186 00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:54,319 Speaker 1: like it was off DeAndre Aighten. I don't know if 187 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:57,480 Speaker 1: the call them. I don't know if the call on 188 00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:00,200 Speaker 1: the floor was that it was off the Clipper and 189 00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:01,600 Speaker 1: that's why he said to stick with it. But to me, 190 00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:05,400 Speaker 1: I thought it was off eight. So Sons get the 191 00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:13,160 Speaker 1: ball back point eight left on the clock. Gavin, this 192 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,000 Speaker 1: is the Devon Booker moment, right Like, I don't know 193 00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:16,800 Speaker 1: that we had three of them before, but this is 194 00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:19,480 Speaker 1: the Devon Booker moment. This is where you know the 195 00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:21,800 Speaker 1: legends are made. This is where Stephen A. Smith looks 196 00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:24,280 Speaker 1: like a god for calling Devin Booker the next Kobe Bryant. 197 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:31,160 Speaker 1: You see a backscreen set by Devin Booker. Everybody's thinking 198 00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:34,520 Speaker 1: he's gonna pop out for the mid range magic again. 199 00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:37,520 Speaker 1: Whether Gavin was right or wrong about Paul George, he 200 00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:39,360 Speaker 1: was gonna be right about the Devon book or mid 201 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:46,920 Speaker 1: range game. And instead DeAndre Ayton rolls to the rim. 202 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:49,960 Speaker 1: They throw it up to him. And he dunks it 203 00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:55,760 Speaker 1: on Zoo boss Head. And by the way, they only 204 00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:59,520 Speaker 1: had time to draw up that play because of the review, 205 00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:04,960 Speaker 1: exactly exactly like they gave them a free time out. 206 00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:09,360 Speaker 1: It was the most Clippers loss ever. They were losing 207 00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:12,120 Speaker 1: the entire game. It looked like they were going to 208 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:15,480 Speaker 1: steal it at the end. Paul George's gas. He's played 209 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 1: more minutes than anyone in the playoffs, and oh my god, 210 00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:24,480 Speaker 1: wouldn't ending. And and you know what's funny is I 211 00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:28,080 Speaker 1: was watching that live and excuse me, full disclosure, I'm 212 00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:29,640 Speaker 1: watching it on a stream because I cut my cable 213 00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:32,760 Speaker 1: because I'm a cheapass like that, so I I stream everything. 214 00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,520 Speaker 1: So yeah, well, I bet you actually pay for your 215 00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:40,240 Speaker 1: own Hulu. You know. I used my in laws cable 216 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:44,080 Speaker 1: subscription and I streamed the games on my iPad and 217 00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:46,240 Speaker 1: that and I'll I'll throw it up on the TV 218 00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:48,440 Speaker 1: screen if I you know, I'm available to you if 219 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:50,600 Speaker 1: my daughter is not watching Disney Plus or something like that. 220 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:54,720 Speaker 1: But my phone is blowing up in a chat that 221 00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:57,040 Speaker 1: I'm in because it's like, oh my god, oh my god, 222 00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,840 Speaker 1: and I'm like, what happened, Like I haven't seen it? 223 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:01,640 Speaker 1: It so don't blow it. Whatever it is you guys 224 00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:03,199 Speaker 1: are texting me, I don't want to know because I 225 00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:06,120 Speaker 1: haven't seen it yet. But even as I watched it 226 00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:08,360 Speaker 1: on the stream and I saw it happen in front 227 00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:11,880 Speaker 1: of me on my iPad, at first, I didn't know 228 00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:14,000 Speaker 1: what happened, Like, I couldn't tell that he had dunked 229 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,640 Speaker 1: it because it happened so fast, you know, like we 230 00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:19,880 Speaker 1: saw the ball get inbounded, we saw hands go up, 231 00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:22,200 Speaker 1: we saw it looked like zoobots might have hit the 232 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,440 Speaker 1: bottom of the net on his way up. So I 233 00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:28,600 Speaker 1: couldn't tell if he had caught it and threw it 234 00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:30,160 Speaker 1: and just missed and zoo Bots just hit the net 235 00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:31,440 Speaker 1: and that's what made it look like it went in. 236 00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,760 Speaker 1: I wasn't sure, and I think that the crowd wasn't 237 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:36,640 Speaker 1: sure at first two because it took half a second 238 00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:43,480 Speaker 1: before you heard everybody kind of erupt and it It 239 00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:46,640 Speaker 1: was probably the coolest inbound plane I've ever seen. I 240 00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:50,000 Speaker 1: can't say that phenomenal. It was incredible. And you know 241 00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:53,400 Speaker 1: what's funny is I was on Twitter, you know, right 242 00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:56,800 Speaker 1: after it happened, because again there was another review after 243 00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:59,040 Speaker 1: that play, so they could determine how much time went 244 00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:00,880 Speaker 1: off the clock before the clip got a chance to score. 245 00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:05,480 Speaker 1: And apparently like that same kind of play, it happened 246 00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:10,000 Speaker 1: in Phoenix before. I believe it was Jason Kidd, and 247 00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:12,040 Speaker 1: his past was even better because he threw it like 248 00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:15,920 Speaker 1: from near uh the mid court line and it was 249 00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:18,840 Speaker 1: over Yao Ming. So if you see in the highlight, 250 00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:20,880 Speaker 1: he kind of peers over his shoulder because that's the 251 00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:22,959 Speaker 1: most he can see of the rim, and he kind 252 00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:24,880 Speaker 1: of chucks it from his hip like a like a 253 00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:27,200 Speaker 1: low hook shot. And and I think it's Tyson Chandler 254 00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:31,560 Speaker 1: who dunked it. Like I'm sorry, I'm gonna last for 255 00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:33,400 Speaker 1: words right now, But there was just so much that 256 00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:38,440 Speaker 1: happened in that game that just to react to that 257 00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:40,840 Speaker 1: portion the play by playing everything that happened, Like there's 258 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:42,839 Speaker 1: a lot of storylines to talk about, but there was 259 00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:45,800 Speaker 1: so much that happened in that thirty seconds that it's 260 00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,800 Speaker 1: just we had to get it out of immediately. Yeah, 261 00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:51,920 Speaker 1: I mean, it felt like a playoffs game in the 262 00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:54,880 Speaker 1: NFL that goes down to the wire and it's just 263 00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:58,040 Speaker 1: the the last second play that ends up getting all 264 00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:00,240 Speaker 1: the run. But there was so much leading up to that. 265 00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:03,200 Speaker 1: I mean, my number one takeaway from the whole game 266 00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:06,960 Speaker 1: was that it was everyone but Devin Booker that killed 267 00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:12,439 Speaker 1: the Clippers like that, Cameron Payne, I mean, DeAndre Aiden, 268 00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:15,080 Speaker 1: which that was an easy win today in in the 269 00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:17,719 Speaker 1: best bets, not so much not so much on the 270 00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:22,640 Speaker 1: you over, but um, but man I went to for one, yeah, 271 00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:25,200 Speaker 1: two and one. Uh we we had the Clippers and 272 00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:28,040 Speaker 1: the points no matter what number you got it at. 273 00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:30,240 Speaker 1: But um, in America, he didn't tell you the part 274 00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:31,520 Speaker 1: of lay it. He told you to just make the 275 00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:33,920 Speaker 1: bet individually. So if you if you partlayed that and 276 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,640 Speaker 1: lost that to your fault, okay, go ahead, I'm sorry exactly. 277 00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:40,120 Speaker 1: And then, um, I mean you had the Pat Bev 278 00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:43,400 Speaker 1: head butt. I mean, there were so many things in 279 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:48,840 Speaker 1: that game. I just you know what's crazy is when 280 00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:51,560 Speaker 1: the game started, I was still in the studio doing 281 00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:53,320 Speaker 1: the on couple on Fox Sports trade with Christy Sorry 282 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:55,440 Speaker 1: and Rob Parker robs off on vacation this week. But 283 00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:01,760 Speaker 1: I saw that Tyler made the decision to go with 284 00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:06,120 Speaker 1: zoobots as a starting center and and reinsert um Pat 285 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:09,880 Speaker 1: Beverley in his starting lineup, and they went ahead. I 286 00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:12,680 Speaker 1: believe it was like eight to two, and then immediately 287 00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:16,000 Speaker 1: the Suns go on this run, and I remember thinking 288 00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:19,160 Speaker 1: at the time like maybe Tyler got shook it. You know, 289 00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:23,080 Speaker 1: he saw what DeAndre Ayton was doing. Inside, He's like, hey, 290 00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:25,680 Speaker 1: this guy is not Rudy Gobert, Like he's going to 291 00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:28,440 Speaker 1: punish us. If we try to play small against him, 292 00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:32,720 Speaker 1: it's just not gonna work. And I felt that Tyler 293 00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:35,280 Speaker 1: may have been pressing a little bit, like I know, 294 00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:38,240 Speaker 1: he's the king of the adjustments, and he maybe adjusts 295 00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:41,320 Speaker 1: more than anybody that's left coaching in the playoffs. But 296 00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:42,880 Speaker 1: I thought he may have made a mistake, Like I 297 00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:45,520 Speaker 1: thought maybe he got forced into, you know, a panic move, 298 00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:51,040 Speaker 1: and throughout the course of the game he made the 299 00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:55,400 Speaker 1: right decision. Like Pat Bev for all of his you 300 00:15:55,480 --> 00:16:00,120 Speaker 1: know you all the all the throw that stuff out, 301 00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:05,280 Speaker 1: all the antics, but his defense exactly say what you 302 00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:08,000 Speaker 1: will about everything that comes along with Pat Bev, you know, 303 00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:11,600 Speaker 1: the chirping, the flopping, the the in your face. I mean, 304 00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:14,400 Speaker 1: he was clapping at Suns fans, you know that we're 305 00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:18,760 Speaker 1: on the sidelines, but he was the primary defender against 306 00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:24,120 Speaker 1: Devin Booker, and Booker finished the game five of sixteen 307 00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:29,240 Speaker 1: shooting with seven turnovers. So say what you will about 308 00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:30,960 Speaker 1: pet Beev and I'm one of the biggest pet Bev 309 00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:34,280 Speaker 1: haters you know in Los Angeles, But he did exactly 310 00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:38,560 Speaker 1: what Tyler needed him to do, you know it. The 311 00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:42,080 Speaker 1: decision to make that start worked out, zoobots. I know 312 00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:46,520 Speaker 1: that DeAndre Ayden had a big game statistically, but on 313 00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:50,400 Speaker 1: his own fourteen eleven and a block, like you can't 314 00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:55,120 Speaker 1: say that he had a bad game either, exactly, and 315 00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:57,320 Speaker 1: that that's a big thing in the post seat, especially 316 00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:00,960 Speaker 1: when Paul George goes five for ten, you know, you 317 00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:03,440 Speaker 1: you need other guys to step up. And I thought 318 00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:07,560 Speaker 1: that he played reasonably well throughout most of the game. Um, 319 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,320 Speaker 1: can we talk Cameron Pain. By the way, Cameron Pain 320 00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:15,240 Speaker 1: and d DeAndre eight and today combined for fifty one points, 321 00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:18,000 Speaker 1: fifteen rebounds, and nine assists. I mean that's where the 322 00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:20,280 Speaker 1: game was lost. That you had all this attention on 323 00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:24,399 Speaker 1: Booker and it worked with Pat Beverley, but Cameron Payne 324 00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:28,000 Speaker 1: was eating Paul George's lunch and that's that really ended 325 00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:30,440 Speaker 1: up costing them the game, right, And you know what's 326 00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:35,000 Speaker 1: funny is uh with with Cameron Pain is if you're 327 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:37,480 Speaker 1: watching the broadcast with the sound up, you notice that 328 00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:40,520 Speaker 1: they never just say Pain with the basket, pain with 329 00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:43,680 Speaker 1: a three pointer. It's always his full name, Like that's that. 330 00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:45,159 Speaker 1: That's the one thing that's kind of funny to me, 331 00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:47,960 Speaker 1: I know, And I can't say campaign because I think 332 00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:53,320 Speaker 1: of a president campaigning. But you know, this game coming 333 00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:57,879 Speaker 1: into it was Devin Booker coming off that monster performance, 334 00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:01,359 Speaker 1: you know, in Game one, and Paul George looking to 335 00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:03,080 Speaker 1: bounce back in a big way after he had a 336 00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:06,200 Speaker 1: lackluster performance in Game one, and you know, for good reason, 337 00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:08,840 Speaker 1: he just came off coming seven excuse me a winning 338 00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:12,119 Speaker 1: that series without Paul, without quiet Leonard against Utah, he 339 00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:14,560 Speaker 1: was great. So you kind of knew, like, hey, they 340 00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:17,600 Speaker 1: just came off, they just played on Friday. It's a 341 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:19,600 Speaker 1: quick turn around, you know. Let him get him to 342 00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:22,720 Speaker 1: his sea legs back underneath him and he'll be okay. 343 00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:25,879 Speaker 1: And I don't think either one of them really played 344 00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:29,080 Speaker 1: very well, like you you said it. The guys who 345 00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:32,920 Speaker 1: really stood out were campaign for Phoenix and Aden and 346 00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:39,240 Speaker 1: Reggie Jackson. Like Reggie Jackson has become in this postseason 347 00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:43,320 Speaker 1: at least like a third star caliber player, like you 348 00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:45,720 Speaker 1: know which if you had said that a year ago, 349 00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,520 Speaker 1: I would have said, you're crazy. Exactly. Reggie Jackson was 350 00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:51,840 Speaker 1: a liability out there exactly. And like you know, I 351 00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:54,480 Speaker 1: said that, I thought campaign was was known more for 352 00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:57,879 Speaker 1: his you know, pregame dance videos with Russell Westbrook. I 353 00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:01,399 Speaker 1: thought that Reggie Jackson in me, you know, for my money, 354 00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:03,800 Speaker 1: he was always known more as the guy who thought 355 00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:06,560 Speaker 1: he should have been starting over west Westbrook in Okay. See. 356 00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:09,199 Speaker 1: He used to write like hall of Fame on his 357 00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:12,320 Speaker 1: on his shoe and like starting point guard on his 358 00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:15,399 Speaker 1: shoe because that's how he felt that, you know, his 359 00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:20,920 Speaker 1: caliber of play deserved. So like this game, it had 360 00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:25,560 Speaker 1: everything and it's it's rare. Gavin, and you know this 361 00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:27,520 Speaker 1: as a producer and you produced the Dog Got Leap 362 00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:31,120 Speaker 1: Show weekdays on Fox Sports Radio. That what you want 363 00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:33,639 Speaker 1: to do for any show and a podcast is no 364 00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:38,959 Speaker 1: different is you want to be prepared. So you understand 365 00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:43,560 Speaker 1: that part of having a good show is how much 366 00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:47,280 Speaker 1: effort you put into it beforehand. And you and I 367 00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:50,879 Speaker 1: both take pride. You know, we know that we're only 368 00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:53,240 Speaker 1: temporary filling in with for Jason this week. You know 369 00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:55,760 Speaker 1: this is not what we do normally. But you and 370 00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:59,000 Speaker 1: I took great effort to figure out what we wanted 371 00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:02,119 Speaker 1: to talk about and do all kinds of research and 372 00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:04,360 Speaker 1: discuss angles we wanted to discuss on some of these 373 00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:08,159 Speaker 1: other stories, and we had to rip the whole thing 374 00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:11,720 Speaker 1: up because this ship happened, I know. And but you 375 00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:14,520 Speaker 1: know what, that's a lot like live radio as well, 376 00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:16,600 Speaker 1: you know. I mean I can't tell you how many 377 00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:19,280 Speaker 1: shows I've produced where you go one way and then 378 00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:23,200 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you know, uh, someone gets traded 379 00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:26,360 Speaker 1: and that's your entire show going from there. So that's 380 00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:28,159 Speaker 1: kind of how this felt. Like we we knew what 381 00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:29,800 Speaker 1: we want to talk about. I had a hot take 382 00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:32,760 Speaker 1: on the twelve team playoff, but uh, I'd love to 383 00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:36,560 Speaker 1: save that for another day. Uh, this game is is 384 00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:39,639 Speaker 1: absolutely insane. But I guess you could say the Clippers 385 00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:42,560 Speaker 1: have them right where they want them down right right 386 00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:48,240 Speaker 1: right now, as somebody who bet Clippers down oh two 387 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:52,119 Speaker 1: against Utah, Like you made some serious money on that way. 388 00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:55,560 Speaker 1: I see that you have a new gaming care behind you, 389 00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:59,480 Speaker 1: and I believe you're talking to me on a new laptop, 390 00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:01,840 Speaker 1: like that's how much money that you made? And have 391 00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:05,679 Speaker 1: a golden microphone. Yeah, I bet them twice down oh 392 00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:09,479 Speaker 1: two both series. But the reason why was Kawhi Leonard. 393 00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:12,760 Speaker 1: And that's the thing, like, I will not be doing 394 00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:15,480 Speaker 1: that this time because you don't have Kawhi Leonard. You 395 00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:18,120 Speaker 1: don't have a guy that's done it before. Um. And 396 00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:20,800 Speaker 1: that's why this O two does feel really different. That 397 00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:25,400 Speaker 1: that end of the game was really really pivotal. Um. 398 00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:28,240 Speaker 1: But I mean, I mean, even if you're a Clipper fan, 399 00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:30,439 Speaker 1: you have to give him credit. That was just a 400 00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:34,159 Speaker 1: phenomenal pass and in a great play. Monty Williams deserves 401 00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:38,440 Speaker 1: all the credit. Um. But I mean at some point, 402 00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:40,639 Speaker 1: you know, the rest it caught up to him. I mean, 403 00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:44,000 Speaker 1: you could see Paul George. I know that was most 404 00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:46,560 Speaker 1: of the reason why he wasn't hitting the all the shots. 405 00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:48,880 Speaker 1: You know, he missed layups that he would never miss 406 00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:52,080 Speaker 1: and uh and you know, I don't know how that 407 00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:53,920 Speaker 1: affects you at the free throw line, but I guess 408 00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:56,480 Speaker 1: it does. And he landed awkwardly on his elbow at 409 00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:58,960 Speaker 1: one point. I don't know if anything will come out 410 00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:02,480 Speaker 1: of that, but um, man, if Chris Paul comes back 411 00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:05,119 Speaker 1: and it looks like he's going to in game three. 412 00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:10,080 Speaker 1: This feels like a like a maybe maybe a four 413 00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:12,119 Speaker 1: game series. Will see you want to get sons in 414 00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:13,800 Speaker 1: four Guy on the part of what you're saying, No, 415 00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:19,679 Speaker 1: I'm not not a fan of that, but I know 416 00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:22,480 Speaker 1: they were like it's in you know, it's funny. You know, 417 00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:27,080 Speaker 1: quick tangent on that is the NBA had this massive 418 00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:32,640 Speaker 1: black eye. You know, no pun intended three weeks ago, 419 00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:36,160 Speaker 1: two and a half, three weeks ago when Russell Westbrook 420 00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:38,920 Speaker 1: gets popcorn thrown at him and Trey Young gets spit 421 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:42,120 Speaker 1: on at the next game and Sons in four Guy 422 00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:47,240 Speaker 1: pummels a Nuggets fan, goes viral, and not only is 423 00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:49,920 Speaker 1: he not banned from the arena, but Devin Booker gets 424 00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:52,639 Speaker 1: in tickets and gives them a shout out on social media, 425 00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:55,680 Speaker 1: they promote him, and then like a day later, there's 426 00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:58,720 Speaker 1: another fight in the stands exactly. It's like what I 427 00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:01,679 Speaker 1: think is going to happen. Fox Sports Radio has the 428 00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:04,639 Speaker 1: best sports talk lineup in the nation.

We're doing all of this live right after 432 00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:16,159 Speaker 1: Game two. Let's spin it forward, really quickly before we 433 00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:19,639 Speaker 1: wrap things up tomorrow morning. Now again you're listening to this, 434 00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:22,199 Speaker 1: it's already tomorrow morning. If when when you're listening to 435 00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:25,520 Speaker 1: this podcast, because again we're recording it immediately after Game 436 00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:30,479 Speaker 1: two tomorrow morning. The bigger talking point in your opinion, 437 00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:35,359 Speaker 1: you gotta choose one. Is it Paul George missing the 438 00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:40,680 Speaker 1: free throws? Is it the inbound lab to DeAndre Ayton, 439 00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:47,080 Speaker 1: or is it the referees. I think because it's so 440 00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:49,920 Speaker 1: easy to do, it will be Paul George. I think 441 00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:55,120 Speaker 1: you are. We were just talking about what he's done 442 00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:59,320 Speaker 1: this postseason to to shed a lot of that negativity. 443 00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:04,359 Speaker 1: But even when you have a decent game, this was 444 00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:07,760 Speaker 1: not nearly his best today, and we know the rest 445 00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:11,080 Speaker 1: affected him, but to miss those free throws, when you 446 00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:14,800 Speaker 1: do that, that seems like something that could get in 447 00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:17,360 Speaker 1: his head. And I don't know if this will affect 448 00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:21,000 Speaker 1: him going forward as well, but I think that today 449 00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:23,040 Speaker 1: is a hit on him a little bit. I think 450 00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:25,159 Speaker 1: it'll be a little undeserved. I think I think the 451 00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:27,439 Speaker 1: guys balled out for most of the postseason, and you 452 00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:29,720 Speaker 1: know they don't have their best player. But at the 453 00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:32,879 Speaker 1: same time, you have to hit those you cannot you 454 00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:36,680 Speaker 1: gotta hit one? What what were they were up one 455 00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:40,320 Speaker 1: right when? Yeah, I mean that you got to put 456 00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:43,840 Speaker 1: yourself in a situation where you know a lob or 457 00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:47,440 Speaker 1: a three doesn't lose you the game. Um, So yeah, 458 00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:50,320 Speaker 1: I think that will be, um the biggest story. I 459 00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:53,320 Speaker 1: mean the rests at the end. That's brutal as well. 460 00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:55,359 Speaker 1: And you know, it makes you think of the NFL. 461 00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:58,199 Speaker 1: Like in the NFL, it's the same rule, like you 462 00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:02,040 Speaker 1: look at exactly who the ball off of, but it's 463 00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:05,359 Speaker 1: a different league, you know. And and in in basketball, 464 00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:08,800 Speaker 1: there's just something different about when a guy knocks the 465 00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:12,240 Speaker 1: ball out, it's always going to go off that person's hand. 466 00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:16,200 Speaker 1: So I don't know, I think that will be something 467 00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:18,439 Speaker 1: they have to look at. Um, I don't know if 468 00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:20,480 Speaker 1: they will, but I think a lot of a lot 469 00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:24,320 Speaker 1: of fans are gonna be barking for that. And it's 470 00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:27,359 Speaker 1: rare that we've percenter and lockstep with something. But I 471 00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:30,280 Speaker 1: totally agree with everything you just said. Okay, spinning it 472 00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:35,720 Speaker 1: forward one more day, Game three Clippers Sons Chris paul Is, 473 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:37,960 Speaker 1: you've mentioned he's likely to come back, we don't know 474 00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:45,760 Speaker 1: for in the tunnels in them. Where didn't he try 475 00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:52,480 Speaker 1: to fight somebody? Yeah? Okay, that's a great star um. 476 00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:55,960 Speaker 1: Game three, we're assuming that Chris Paul is going to 477 00:25:56,040 --> 00:26:00,640 Speaker 1: come back with the way that this game ended tonight. 478 00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:07,679 Speaker 1: Can the Clippers bounce back and win Game three? I 479 00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:10,600 Speaker 1: think you'll know early on. I think you'll know in 480 00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:13,320 Speaker 1: the first quarter. I mean, even today, it looked like 481 00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:15,760 Speaker 1: the Suns were, you know, out in the sun, or 482 00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:17,760 Speaker 1: I mean the Clippers were out in the sun too 483 00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:20,399 Speaker 1: much early in this game. But yeah, I think in 484 00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:23,080 Speaker 1: game three you'll know early on whether or not they 485 00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:25,919 Speaker 1: have that same resiliency because I could easily see this 486 00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:29,520 Speaker 1: affecting them reverting back to the to the bubble Clippers 487 00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:31,879 Speaker 1: a little bit and being a little in their head 488 00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:35,840 Speaker 1: about this. I'm not expecting much, but we will see, 489 00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:40,840 Speaker 1: right you know, I'm with you. And what makes I 490 00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:45,119 Speaker 1: think this series different than the Dallas series. One I 491 00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:48,640 Speaker 1: want to go to in this specific instant is they 492 00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:51,879 Speaker 1: were down out too heading to Dallas and Dallas runs 493 00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:56,160 Speaker 1: out to a nineteen point first quarter lead, and Rick 494 00:26:56,240 --> 00:27:00,840 Speaker 1: Carlyle pulled Luca at that moment and imediately the Clippers 495 00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:02,920 Speaker 1: going to run. They get back in the game, in 496 00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:08,119 Speaker 1: win winning Game three. If the Suns run out early 497 00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:12,560 Speaker 1: in Game three, Montie Williams is not going to pull 498 00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:16,720 Speaker 1: Devin Booker or Chris Paul Like he's not gonna give 499 00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:21,000 Speaker 1: the Clippers that chance to feel any kind of air 500 00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:24,240 Speaker 1: in the building, like if he has them down early, 501 00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:28,440 Speaker 1: because this is exactly what they did against the Lakers 502 00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:32,439 Speaker 1: when the Lakers game back. I believe it was game 503 00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:38,479 Speaker 1: five when they it was to two, and they went 504 00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:42,919 Speaker 1: up big on the Lakers and Devin Booker was like, 505 00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:45,200 Speaker 1: not leave me, and I'm gonna play this entire quarter 506 00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:47,560 Speaker 1: and he just lit them up and the Lakers never 507 00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:50,239 Speaker 1: got up off the canvas and it was a rap. So, 508 00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:53,439 Speaker 1: I mean, this, this is a lot for us to 509 00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:57,479 Speaker 1: digest here tonight. You know, we we we we had 510 00:27:57,480 --> 00:27:59,440 Speaker 1: a lot to get to our promised America. We had 511 00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:01,879 Speaker 1: some very high takes, like Gavin said on the college 512 00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:04,720 Speaker 1: football playoff. We had some takes on the lottery and 513 00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:08,600 Speaker 1: the Warriors. We had some takes on baseball, and unfortunately 514 00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:12,200 Speaker 1: that's all gonna have to wait at least twenty four hours, 515 00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:15,760 Speaker 1: because this podcast has been all about the Phoenix Suns 516 00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:19,200 Speaker 1: and the Los Angeles Clippers and what may have been 517 00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:23,960 Speaker 1: the wildest finish this season at least, you know, maybe 518 00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:25,760 Speaker 1: as far back as I can remember in in a 519 00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:31,080 Speaker 1: playoff game. This was crazy, Gavin, any final thoughts as 520 00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:36,720 Speaker 1: we wrap this up. My final thought, I think I 521 00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:39,800 Speaker 1: I hope Chris Paul comes back. I think we all 522 00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:42,920 Speaker 1: want to see him there. Um, I really wish Kauai 523 00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:46,360 Speaker 1: would come back as well. I think it's getting interesting here, 524 00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:49,160 Speaker 1: the lack of the lack that we're hearing about, the 525 00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:53,360 Speaker 1: lesson less we hear about Kawai's injury. Um, but man, 526 00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:55,520 Speaker 1: this is like I would love to see these teams 527 00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:59,840 Speaker 1: for seven games because this was the ultimate game for 528 00:28:59,880 --> 00:29:02,560 Speaker 1: the Clippers to steal, and it felt like they did, 529 00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:05,800 Speaker 1: but they weren't able to close it out. We've always 530 00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:09,600 Speaker 1: talked about how bad they are closing out games and 531 00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:11,920 Speaker 1: this is the ultimate example of that. We'll see if 532 00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:16,280 Speaker 1: it affects them. Uh, you know going forward. I'm with 533 00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:18,480 Speaker 1: you now. Before we go though, you know, there is 534 00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:21,320 Speaker 1: a big game on a Wednesday night, game one of 535 00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:25,120 Speaker 1: the Eastern Conference Finals, Bucks and Hawks. That's eight thirty 536 00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:28,800 Speaker 1: pm Eastern, Auntie Anti Gavin. Before we wrap things up, 537 00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:31,360 Speaker 1: I know you normally have a full segment to discuss this. 538 00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:34,200 Speaker 1: But you are coming off a two and one night 539 00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:37,120 Speaker 1: for the Clippers Sons. Do you have a best bet 540 00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:40,360 Speaker 1: for Game one of Eastern Conference Finals. Yeah, I think 541 00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:44,160 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Trey Young under twenty nine points. 542 00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:48,280 Speaker 1: We saw what happened in the final game against the Sixers. 543 00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:50,160 Speaker 1: They were able to lock him down a little bit, 544 00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:53,560 Speaker 1: and I think with that all defensive team on the Bucks, 545 00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:56,920 Speaker 1: Drew Holiday, Janice and p J. Tuckers and Animal, I 546 00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:59,040 Speaker 1: think they're gonna be able to keep him reined in. 547 00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:02,880 Speaker 1: So we're gonna go Tray Young under twenty nine points. Boom. 548 00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:05,080 Speaker 1: There it is America. You take some of those winnings 549 00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:08,360 Speaker 1: that you had from a game two. You take those winnings, 550 00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:12,240 Speaker 1: you double that, double your bet for tonight's game. Bet 551 00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:15,880 Speaker 1: the under entree Young. Make some money and we'll talk 552 00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:16,800 Speaker 1: to you tomorrow.
