Speaker 3: Dunks at the Athletic dot Com. I'm sure we'll be

26
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 3: stepping on the beach at some point later this week

27
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:29,400
Speaker 3: because we're down to maximum one game a night, so

28
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 3: that opens up a lot of time in the B block,

29
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 3: So get those cues in. But that's beat step in. Today,

30
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 3: we're doing the deep dive. We're jumping right into the

31
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 3: water where we break down, preview and predict these two

32
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 3: conference finals series. And then later on we do have

33
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 3: the NBA Draft Lottery tonight, and instead of tweeting the night,

34
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 3: you've got something surrounding the draft lottery. Are we predicting

35
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 3: it or we do it?

36
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 2: No, yeah, we are predicting it.

37
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 5: One of you three we'll get a chance to pick

38
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 5: tonight's Draft lottery winner.

39
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah. Wow.

40
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 5: Now I was very excited because when I got home

41
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 5: yesterday had an idea and then I thought, hang on

42
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 5: a minute, I don't want to do this, so I

43
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 5: outsourced it to my ten year old.

44
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 2: He was excited.

45
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 3: It sounds like you.

46
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 2: Yes, he was very.

47
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:15,920
Speaker 5: Excited, and then halfway through he got bored and he

48
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 5: outsourced it to his fifth.

49
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:20,080
Speaker 2: Five year old brother. So I'm not exactly sure in

50
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 2: the end.

51
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 3: We're going to be doing something that your five year

52
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 3: old completed the.

53
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 4: Oscar coming well, yes, something like that.

54
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:29,959
Speaker 5: Yes, I'm not exactly sure even how it's going to

55
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,239
Speaker 5: look the final product, but we'll find out together.

56
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 4: I think that's that's really what you want to do.

57
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 3: That's the journey, it's the destination. Okay, Well, let's get

58
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 3: into the Eastern Conference Finals. JD. You can throw up

59
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 3: the schedule once again, here presented by a Google pixel

60
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 3: paying that's a damn thing, but hey it's a nice graphic,

61
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:54,359
Speaker 3: thanks NBA. So Game one tonight Celtics in Miami gets

62
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 3: started at eight thirty pm Eastern because we do have

63
00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 3: the draft lottery there at eight o'clock where the ping

64
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 3: pong balls and we see who gets the number one

65
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 3: pick and all that. But a bunch of questions with

66
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 3: these as we do our deep dives will ultimately get

67
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 3: to our predictions. Maybe that's the only thing people care about,

68
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 3: but right I want you to get a started tasks.

69
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 3: We'll look at it from sort of both sides. What's

70
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 3: the biggest Miami heat question heading into this Conference finals

71
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 3: for you?

72
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 1: Well, before I start, let me say the most important

73
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 1: thing you can do for the show is pick up

74
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 1: your Google pixel and call a friend. And a Google

75
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 1: pixel is a phone, right, I think so. I mean,

76
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 1: now we're always seeing how great a photos it.

77
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 4: The whole thing is like a camera.

78
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, Just pick up the pixel and dial, pick

79
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 1: up the mother phone and dial. Anyway, what is the

80
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 1: biggest question for the Miami Heat. I think it's can

81
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 1: they score enough? Because even though Jimmy Butler has been

82
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 1: a fly in this postseason, I think it's kind of

83
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 1: flying under the raidar how good he has been. This

84
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 1: is better than his finals run in twenty twenty. He's

85
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 1: starting off even hotter than that through the first two

86
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 1: rounds twenty nine points per game, fifty two and thirty

87
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 1: six on the percentages. That was against the Heat, though

88
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 1: that was against the Sixers who were in hole. I'm sorry.

89
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 1: That was against the Hawks and the Sixers who were

90
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 1: in hole. This is different. Against the Boston Celtics, they

91
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 1: did a number on Kevin Durant. They did a number

92
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,919
Speaker 1: on Yiannistatic Kompo. Now you know a different player, a

93
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,599
Speaker 1: smaller player, wing player. I think they're well equipped to

94
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:24,279
Speaker 1: guard Jimmy With everybody I know, Butler's gonna bully and

95
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 1: get to his spots. And I know Marcus Smart questionable

96
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 1: at last report here for tonight, but Jlen Brown, Jason Tatum,

97
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 1: Grant Williams, al Horford. I think Al Horford is, you know,

98
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 1: such a great secondary defender on him. They use secondary

99
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 1: defenders on Durant and Yannis Static Cumpo. Whoever is guarding PJ.

100
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:47,040
Speaker 1: Tucker is gonna leave PJ Tucker and go guard Jimmy,

101
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,279
Speaker 1: So you know PJ. Tucker is not going to score

102
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:53,480
Speaker 1: a lot in this series. Worry about Kyle Lowry in

103
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 1: the point guard position. Kyle Lowry not playing in Game one,

104
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 1: that's got to be a worry. And the other guys,

105
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 1: Tyler Hero, who is probably their second most dynamic score

106
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 1: not a great postseason thus far. I think the Celtics

107
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 1: have a decent matchup for him coming off the bench

108
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 1: with Derek White coming off the bench, So that is

109
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:14,920
Speaker 1: the biggest worry to me. They guarded him really well

110
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 1: two years ago. If you remember Jimmy Butler in that

111
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 1: Conference final nineteen points per game. He was actually the

112
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:22,919
Speaker 1: fourth leading scorer on that Heat team, which is odd

113
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 1: to think about in the bubble at a bio Dragic

114
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,160
Speaker 1: and Hero scored more than him, so at a bio

115
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 1: he could have a big series against the hubbled Robert Williams,

116
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 1: who was likely to be playing in Game one. But

117
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 1: when it comes down to it, I think the biggest

118
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 1: X factors as far as this offense goes as far

119
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 1: against such a great Celtics team that can just row

120
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 1: any great offensive player up, it's probably the guys off

121
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 1: the bench, Hero and Victor Oladipo. He has got to

122
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 1: be big. I think in this series you got to

123
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,600
Speaker 1: go deep against this Boston Celtics team. They're going to

124
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 1: stop your first couple options, and so I just worry

125
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 1: if they're just going to simply put put enough points

126
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:03,279
Speaker 1: on the board, despite Jimmy being so sensational. After watching

127
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:05,839
Speaker 1: what they did against Kyd and Yannis.

128
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 3: Could we see some low scoring games in this series? Yes,

129
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 3: what Tas is talking about. Both of these teams obviously

130
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 3: el defenses, that's right.

131
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 5: They definitely want to lock each other up on the

132
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 5: on the other end, and I think we saw that

133
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 5: against Philadelphia with the heat. They scored seventy nine points

134
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 5: in one game here and that was their three point

135
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 5: shooting on the road. We mentioned that yesterday was very,

136
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:26,360
Speaker 5: very bad at times, and I think that is going

137
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:28,479
Speaker 5: to be a key to this series, especially because we

138
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 5: just saw Boston really pound Milwaukee from the three point line.

139
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,159
Speaker 5: I have no reason to believe Boston won't employ a

140
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 5: similar strategy there. Get as many guys out there shooting

141
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 5: threes as you can, and Heat they're going to have

142
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 5: to defend that. But we also know that that's sort

143
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 5: of the Heat want to get into a game where

144
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 5: it's a bit of an arm wrestle, where it's like,

145
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 5: all right, you want to get down and grind. We

146
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 5: want to close low scoring game because that's where I

147
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 5: think the Heat also throw. They can actually when it's tight,

148
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,360
Speaker 5: that's when they're really really good as well. So this

149
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:56,040
Speaker 5: is fascinating because it was a couple of years ago

150
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,159
Speaker 5: in the bubble there where Jimmy Butler was great and

151
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,280
Speaker 5: the Heat were great, but the Celtics were still the

152
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 5: up and coming team.

153
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 2: But so much has changed since then. We've seen Jason.

154
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:06,279
Speaker 5: Tatum really elevate his status to elite level and Jalen

155
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 5: Brown is not far behind. So the Celtics, they certainly

156
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 5: have I think, are a better team than they were

157
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 5: a couple of years ago.

158
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 2: And it's going to be interesting to see now they've

159
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 2: gone up against Kevin Durant.

160
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 5: They haven't had the best player in any series so far,

161
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 5: if you think Kevin Durant was the best player, which

162
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 5: I do, and then Yannis in the second round. But

163
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 5: they've overcome that because they've had that elite defense, and

164
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 5: I think they're going to try to employ that again.

165
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 5: I think Kyle Lowry's health is major here for Miami.

166
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 5: I think he's been so critical to them so many

167
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 5: times this season. When you know what Lowry loves. He

168
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 5: loves to get the born just fling it out and

169
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 5: transition to get it to a three point shoot or

170
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 5: someone running the fast break. And when they don't have him,

171
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 5: they are just kind of filling in the gaps, whether

172
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 5: it's a Tyler Hero or a Strus or a Vincent

173
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 5: or even Jimmy Butler. And I think that really does

174
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 5: take away from their offense. So exactly how long he's out,

175
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 5: I don't think the heat are going to reveal anyway.

176
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 5: I mean, but he's apparently is out tonight no matter what.

177
00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 5: If they lose, it could be one of those situations

178
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 5: where like, Okay, do we need to run?

179
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 2: He's going back.

180
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 5: Oh, do we need to sort of just wait until

181
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 5: he's one hundred percent healthy because I think he's so

182
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 5: important even though he's not the best. Players are a

183
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 5: little bit older now, but he's the balance being for them,

184
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 5: and I think that's gonna be key for Miami in

185
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 5: this series.

186
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 3: Trey, what do you have when it comes to the

187
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 3: Heat side of things?

188
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 4: Test is right, it's all about will the Heat be

189
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 4: able to score enough points. They've played eleven postseason games

190
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 4: so far. In five of them they've made ten or

191
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 4: fewer threes and shot under thirty percent from the three

192
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 4: point line. It's tough to win like that unless you've

193
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 4: got an incredible defense, which the Heat do. Missing Lowry,

194
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 4: they are gonna miss on the easy transition buckets. We

195
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 4: saw Gyannis got a little untracked against Boston getting out

196
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:39,559
Speaker 4: in transition. But the Heat might not have that guy.

197
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 4: So there's gonna be it's got to be a big

198
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:44,559
Speaker 4: series for Tyler Hero, Like you're saying, task, he was

199
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 4: kind of the X factor back in the twenty twenty

200
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,199
Speaker 4: bubble days. We were talking about Bubble Hero, the guys

201
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:53,080
Speaker 4: snarling all over the place, But that was against brad Wanamaker.

202
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 4: And Kemba Walker. It's a little different when you're going

203
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 4: up against Marcus Smart and Derek White as the defenders.

204
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,080
Speaker 4: There's just so much size on the Celtics that it

205
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 4: can be tough for a smaller guard like Hero, and

206
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 4: that's without factoring in the fact that he might be

207
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,320
Speaker 4: hunted on the other side. So the Heat have been

208
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:10,200
Speaker 4: a solid three point three point shooting team the past

209
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,840
Speaker 4: three seasons. They've been really up and down so far

210
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:16,200
Speaker 4: in the playoffs, so they gotta be plus ten. You know,

211
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:18,720
Speaker 4: they got to be making a fair amount of three

212
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:21,199
Speaker 4: pointers if they're going to be struggling to get baskets

213
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:22,079
Speaker 4: in transition as well.

214
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:24,199
Speaker 3: Yeah, had to piggyback off that I wrote down. Can

215
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 3: Miami just slow the Celtics three point shooting? This is

216
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:27,599
Speaker 3: what you were talking about. They made one hundred and

217
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 3: ten three pointers in the series versus the Bucks, it

218
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:32,840
Speaker 3: only hit fifty seven. One hundred and ten to fifty seven.

219
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 3: What a differential. And at first thought, I'm like, well,

220
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:37,840
Speaker 3: the threes are going to be harder to come by

221
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 3: versus Miami because you know Bam and PJ. Tucker like

222
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 3: for their bigs, they're more mobile. They can get out

223
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 3: and defend the perimeter a little bit better than like

224
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:48,680
Speaker 3: a Yawnis or definitely a Brook who's you know, just

225
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:50,960
Speaker 3: stay in the paint. But then Shoe pointed this out

226
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 3: in his NBA dot Com You Know Series preview. In

227
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:55,680
Speaker 3: the regular season, the Bucks allowed their opponents to take

228
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 3: basically forty five percent of their shots from beyond the arc.

229
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:01,680
Speaker 3: That was the league's second highest opponent rate, topped only

230
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 3: by the Heat. Like this is a bit of their

231
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 3: defensive strategy too. They allow their opponents to take forty

232
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 3: five point six of their shots from deep, so similar

233
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:11,959
Speaker 3: in a sense to Milwaukee. Now it's what are those

234
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,439
Speaker 3: type of shots? Who are those shots going to? I

235
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:17,319
Speaker 3: think that's a big difference here, And I just don't know. Look,

236
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 3: I don't think the Celtics are making one hundred and ten.

237
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,680
Speaker 3: If this thing goes seven against Miami, maybe they cool off.

238
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 3: And I just think Miami's better at Like, no, we

239
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:26,320
Speaker 3: don't want you to have those ones, or we want

240
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 3: so and so taking these ones off a dribble, end

241
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 3: of a shot clock, whatever, But something to watch. And

242
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 3: this is what you guys are all talking about. Can

243
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:35,199
Speaker 3: Miami score enough, hit enough threes to keep it close

244
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 3: and can you slow down the Celtics team that's letting

245
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 3: it like, just let it rain right now?

246
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 1: HM, watching the heat defense, Obviously they're going to be good.

247
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 1: Round one. They did a really good job on top

248
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 1: taking the ball away from Trey. Second round they did

249
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 1: a pretty good job doing it against Harden. Against the Celtics.

250
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:54,200
Speaker 1: It's just so different, right, everybody's touching that thing. Tatum

251
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 1: is fine playing off ball for several possessions at a time,

252
00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:01,720
Speaker 1: so you can't really focus on one. They're gonna figure

253
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 1: it out. But I can understand because they like ganging

254
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 1: up on the quote unquote best player, why they would

255
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 1: give up a lot of three point shots. So the Celtics,

256
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:14,439
Speaker 1: they love taking turns. Their offense is a little unpredictable

257
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:16,679
Speaker 1: in a good way, being that you don't know who

258
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 1: to double, you don't know who to take out. I

259
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 1: know the best players are obviously Tatum and Brown, but

260
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 1: the other guys will make you pay. They're rolling right now.

261
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, we said it on yesterday's show. Even in that

262
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 3: series versus the Bucks, you had the jail in Brown game,

263
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 3: you obviously had the Tatum game, you have the Horford game,

264
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 3: you have the Grant Williams Game seven, So everybody chipping

265
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 3: in right now, All right, switch it over to the

266
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:37,680
Speaker 3: Boston Celtics. What's the biggest C's question, the biggest Beantown

267
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 3: Boy question.

268
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 4: The biggest question for the Bean Town Boys is their

269
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 4: half court offense, because we know that Miami's gonna bring

270
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 4: it defensively, They're gonna switch, they're gonna trap, they're gonna

271
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 4: play straight up, they're gonna play his own, They're gonna

272
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 4: change things up a whole bunch. They've got a defensive

273
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:52,680
Speaker 4: Player of the Year candidate of their own and own

274
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 4: and Bam out of Bio there in the middle, and

275
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:57,320
Speaker 4: they're gonna play with physicality and discipline. You're not gonna

276
00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 4: get as easy three point shots as Al Horford getting

277
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:02,719
Speaker 4: when he had his massive game, as Grant Williams got

278
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:05,080
Speaker 4: when he had his massive games. Spull struggle change things

279
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:08,080
Speaker 4: as time goes on, and that's definitely where the Celtics

280
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 4: struggle the most. They're a great defensive team. They're really

281
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 4: good in transition, but we've seen sometimes, like in Game

282
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:15,440
Speaker 4: five against the Bucks early in the season, when they

283
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:17,440
Speaker 4: look their worst, it can be a year turn, my

284
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 4: turn kind of thing. And if that becomes the general

285
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:23,959
Speaker 4: way that they're playing offense, I think that's bad because

286
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,840
Speaker 4: that's exactly what Miami wants. They're good at saying Okay,

287
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:29,200
Speaker 4: you want to do one thing, you're doing something else,

288
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:31,840
Speaker 4: and they will grind you down and make it a

289
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 4: really slow game. And not to mention, Miami gets to

290
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:37,719
Speaker 4: the line quite a bit, which Boston. I think that's

291
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:39,679
Speaker 4: another place that they can struggle a little bit is

292
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,079
Speaker 4: just taking too many jumpers. And if they turn into

293
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:44,720
Speaker 4: a jump shooting team and the jumpers are cold, you're

294
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:47,080
Speaker 4: in trouble. That's kind of the case for a lot

295
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:49,679
Speaker 4: of series here. But I do think Miami can can

296
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 4: affect Boston defensively in the half court scenario. Now do

297
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 4: they have enough depth for it? Does Miami have enough

298
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:58,840
Speaker 4: depth to play with Boston all the way down their roster.

299
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 4: I don't know about that, but it's going to be

300
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:04,600
Speaker 4: important to see how Boston attacks Miami in the half.

301
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:06,319
Speaker 3: Quote, especially what do you have for this one leaf

302
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:07,200
Speaker 3: Celtics of things?

303
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 5: Well, it is that Celtic's depth, I mean, because if

304
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 5: you look at Game seven there he basically played five

305
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 5: game five guys he brought out Derek White and Peyton Pritchell.

306
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 5: It gave them good minutes, but can you rely on

307
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 5: those guys. Is Peyton Pritcher going to be the guy

308
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 5: who comes out and hits those couple of threes or

309
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:22,199
Speaker 5: is he going to get kind of lit up a

310
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:24,560
Speaker 5: little bit himself? And then Derek White has had a

311
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:26,319
Speaker 5: bit of a weird playoffs. At times he looks good,

312
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 5: but at times also I wouldn't rely on him too much.

313
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 3: So you can tell right away with Derek wait Oh,

314
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 3: a couple of minutes, it's like you're getting Derek Waite

315
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 3: contributing offensively or or one for ten stink early.

316
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:37,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, exactly, and he had one for ten in that

317
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:39,560
Speaker 5: game seven there. And then you've got someone like Daniel

318
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 5: Tys who's a bit the same yet went five for

319
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 5: five in one game, but other games he just didn't

320
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 5: even play.

321
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:45,680
Speaker 2: He's not bad at being able to spread the floor.

322
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 5: He can hit those threes. He's a good, reliable sort

323
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 5: of system defender. But at the same time, if he's

324
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 5: playing a lot of minutes, that's probably not good for

325
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:55,440
Speaker 5: the Celtics because they just simply don't need him.

326
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 1: Now.

327
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:58,199
Speaker 5: Robert Williams, I think his health will dictate a lot

328
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 5: of that as well. If he's playing, then allows them

329
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 5: an extra guy to come off the bench and play

330
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:03,720
Speaker 5: some defensive minutes there.

331
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:05,840
Speaker 2: But yeah, you look, I think the heat of the same.

332
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 5: They like to go about seven maybe eight guys deep,

333
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,319
Speaker 5: and we know most teams do that further into the

334
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 5: playoffs here, But is.

335
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:14,720
Speaker 2: That Celtic's bench reliable? It proved okay for them.

336
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:17,319
Speaker 5: Against the Bucks, but it's always a little bit of

337
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 5: a sort of hit or miss with some of those guys.

338
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 5: So you know, Grant Williams probably goes back to the

339
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 5: bench if Robert Williams starts, I guess, and Howford is

340
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 5: your center there, so that'd be great for them to

341
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 5: boost their bench. But he's also just coming off the

342
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 5: game of his career, so they can probably They're probably

343
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 5: like him to start at least here in game one, again,

344
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 5: depending on the health of Robert Williams.

345
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 3: If Lowry is healthy, sorry, and Smart is healthy and

346
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 3: Robert Williams is healthy, who has a better bench in

347
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 3: this series? Does it favor Miami with wake?

348
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 1: Thanks?

349
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 3: So, hero, I know you think it's pretty similar.

350
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:49,120
Speaker 1: I think it's the Celtics. They've been more consistent, and

351
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 1: the fact is the Celtics are healthier out the gate.

352
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 1: Kyle Lowry's not playing in Game one. Robert Williams is

353
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 1: free to play without any minutes restriction. A great sign

354
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 1: is he going to be e to handle bam Adebayo?

355
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 1: Who knows? But Kyle Lowry is out for Game one.

356
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 1: Marcus Smart questionable. Hey, but the good thing is last series,

357
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:10,480
Speaker 1: I mean for both teams, they handled both those absences

358
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 1: as well. Marcus Smart missed the game Derek White started,

359
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 1: they handled it well. Robert Williams was for those games.

360
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 1: They handled it well. But I would worry just because

361
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 1: you need Kyle Lowry scoring if you're the Heat more

362
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 1: than the Celtics need Marcus Smart scoring or even Robert

363
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 1: Williams defending. PJ. Tucker is not going to score a lot.

364
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 1: Lowry's just got to be that guy to chip in,

365
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 1: and I'm not sure you can rely on Victor Oladipo

366
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 1: to come in. Max Strus is going to be a

367
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 1: huge factor in this series, and Tyler Hero hasn't been

368
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:40,200
Speaker 1: Bubble Hero quite yet, so there's just there's more question

369
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 1: marks on that side.

370
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 2: I can't wait for when Lowry does play him and

371
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 2: Marcus smart to just like go back.

372
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, it'll be the Spoto Man meme will be the

373
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 5: hottest meme of this series.

374
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 2: I'm sure that's true.

375
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 3: I'm with you, though, Lowry. For them to maybe win,

376
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 3: this has to has to play, and then if he plays,

377
00:15:57,880 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 3: has to play a lot better he did in a

378
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 3: six or two licenses. I mean we were getting we

379
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 3: were sitting here going he shouldn't be playing, and it

380
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 3: proved to be true because he was so like the

381
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 3: hamstring was affecting him so much. But I'm with you

382
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 3: that he has to probably has to play, and he's

383
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 3: going to have those games where he hits three or

384
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 3: four threes when you know, bails them out at the

385
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 3: end of a couple of shot clocks and pushes the

386
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 3: ball and then gives them great defense too. But we'll

387
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 3: see as this series before he's not playing in Game one.

388
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 3: Potential X factors though, where do you want to start?

389
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 2: Well, I'll go with Grant Williams.

390
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:28,080
Speaker 5: I think he really is a big X factor for

391
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 5: this team because he's just coming off the game of

392
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 5: his career. But in the series against the Bucks, he

393
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 5: only shot twenty seven percent from three and in one

394
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 5: game he hit seven threes. Another game he hit six,

395
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 5: so it feels like he had more. It feels like

396
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 5: he had a bigger impact than that. But there were

397
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 5: a couple of games and foul trouble was a factor there.

398
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 5: And look, he is one of their big athletic defenders.

399
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 5: He was out on Yannis, he was out on Kevin

400
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 5: Durant in the series before that, so you expect he's

401
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:51,560
Speaker 5: going to get some minutes on. He'll probably see Bam

402
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 5: for a couple of possessions Jimmy PJ.

403
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 2: Tucker. I mean, that'll be a beefy old match up

404
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 2: those two, that day field matchup.

405
00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 5: But look, Grant Williams, there's no reason to believe that

406
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 5: he is not going to feel a big part of

407
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 5: their offense. There's going to be a lot of bore

408
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 5: movement and they're going to say to him, sit in

409
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:08,440
Speaker 5: the corner and shoot those threes. Shoot them the way

410
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 5: you did obviously in game seven where he went thirty

411
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 5: nine percent on eighteen attempts. That's a ton of attempts

412
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:14,880
Speaker 5: and when he broke a record for a game seven there.

413
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 5: But I think he's a very very important player. And again,

414
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 5: does he start, does he come.

415
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 2: Off the bench.

416
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:22,600
Speaker 5: I think obviously Robert Williams, if he's playing, Grant comes

417
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:24,639
Speaker 5: off the bench, which is great for Boston because if

418
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 5: one of those guys Hawford or Williams gets in foul trouble, bang,

419
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:29,480
Speaker 5: you've got another guy who can go in there, another

420
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:31,879
Speaker 5: big guy who can play straight away. So he fills

421
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:34,920
Speaker 5: that hole, and he's capable of being a very impactful

422
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:37,479
Speaker 5: starter as well if he plays. So you know, Miami

423
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:39,439
Speaker 5: would have been watching that series. They know like this

424
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:42,120
Speaker 5: guy's if he's in the corner, he's going to shoot away, fight,

425
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 5: He's there, PJ Tiger basically in that sense, he's Grant

426
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 5: Williams in the corner one percent.

427
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:48,120
Speaker 4: Even the same partyship.

428
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly.

429
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:52,719
Speaker 5: So I'm excited to see if he can live up

430
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:54,440
Speaker 5: to the Game seven. And then it was a game

431
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:56,359
Speaker 5: too where he had the six threes in a win

432
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:58,880
Speaker 5: there for the Bucks been in losses. Wasn't as effective

433
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 5: Again the foul trouble, Yeah, plagued him a little bit there.

434
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:04,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's going against Gianness in half of those two Yeah, yep,

435
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 3: that's right. L Yeah, who do you have for next time?

436
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 4: I'm on the complete flip side of Lee here. I

437
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 4: think it's Bam versus all of the Celtics bigs, because

438
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 4: I think the Heat definitely had the best big man

439
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 4: here in Bam out of Bio, but then the next

440
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:19,119
Speaker 4: four probably from the Celtics, though, I mean, honestly, I

441
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:20,920
Speaker 4: don't think Tyson is going to have a huge impact

442
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 4: in this series, but at least it's a guy you

443
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 4: can go to. Bam was kind of the difference in

444
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 4: the series against the Celtics in the twenty twenty Bubble

445
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:29,480
Speaker 4: twenty two a game, eleven rebounds, five assists, He shot

446
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:31,680
Speaker 4: sixty percent from the field. He was bringing the ball

447
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 4: up the court like every single time. He was kind

448
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:37,480
Speaker 4: of looking Yannis light out there, and the Celtics really

449
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:40,200
Speaker 4: didn't have any sort of way to combat him. Robert

450
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 4: Williams wasn't the player he is today, Horford wasn't around.

451
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:46,960
Speaker 4: It was Tye and even Ennis Canter back then was

452
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 4: in the mix. So things have definitely changed for Boston.

453
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:53,440
Speaker 4: But Bam can assert himself on the offensive end of

454
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 4: the court, if he can be a reliable interior scorer,

455
00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:58,240
Speaker 4: if he can get to the line for Miami, that

456
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 4: really tilts things because I think that certainly the Celtics

457
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:03,439
Speaker 4: are going to have the advantage on the perimeter. With

458
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:06,120
Speaker 4: Lowry a little bit hobbled, Butler has been awesome. There

459
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:08,880
Speaker 4: are just several guys for the Celtics, So if Bam

460
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:11,480
Speaker 4: is able to be an advantage for Miami inside, that

461
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:14,080
Speaker 4: really challenges things in my perspective.

462
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:15,720
Speaker 3: And down in the bubble. Wasn't it Bam blocking Tatum

463
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 3: in Game one?

464
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:17,960
Speaker 4: Yeah? Right, Zach exactly?

465
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:19,120
Speaker 3: The game saving block.

466
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:23,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was a phenomenal, phenomenal flashback. I just had

467
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:27,679
Speaker 1: X factors are the heat backcourt for me, likely starting

468
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:30,159
Speaker 1: Gabe Vincent in his first real playoff series, obviously his

469
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 1: first real conference finals, his first playoff run here and

470
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 1: Max Struce that's your starting backcourt. They're leaving Tucker. They're

471
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:39,920
Speaker 1: going to do a good job against Jimmy most likely.

472
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:44,119
Speaker 1: Bam has to be big, but so does Gabe and Max.

473
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 1: Really in the backcourt, they got to hit a lot

474
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 1: of shots. Max can get hot. It's coming off to

475
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 1: two really impressive performances to end that Celtics series, nineteen

476
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 1: to twenty points in each of those two games. But

477
00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:58,439
Speaker 1: there's a lot of pressure on those guys and if

478
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:00,480
Speaker 1: they falter right out of the gate. Yeah, you can

479
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:02,080
Speaker 1: go to Hero, you can go to all the depot,

480
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:06,199
Speaker 1: So it's yeah, it's just a mix of guys that

481
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:09,880
Speaker 1: haven't performed a lot in the postseason or haven't performed

482
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:13,320
Speaker 1: this postseason. So they're lying on a bunch of guys

483
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 1: there to put it all together here against a great

484
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 1: Celtics defense.

485
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 3: These two teams like they mirror each other in a

486
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 3: lot of ways. I think with the defense, obviously they

487
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:23,960
Speaker 3: switch a lot. They obviously have superstars in Tatum and Butler,

488
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:26,879
Speaker 3: good depth, great coaches. I think we all agree with that,

489
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:29,720
Speaker 3: and I think my X factors are sort of similar.

490
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 3: One starts and one comes off the bench. I'm going

491
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:34,720
Speaker 3: sort of Jayleen Brown and Tyler Hero Hero, especially for

492
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 3: the heat, just for all the reasons we've already gone over.

493
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:40,200
Speaker 3: Scoring is going to be at a premium here, and

494
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 3: premium does that make sense?

495
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 4: Yeah?

496
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:42,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.

497
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 3: After I said it, I was like, that makes it

498
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:52,320
Speaker 3: sound like premium scoring. Everybody premium is top to Yeah,

499
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:53,440
Speaker 3: that's a good point.

500
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:56,879
Speaker 2: I'm the one hundred games in this series, yeah.

501
00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:57,639
Speaker 4: For sure, for sure.

502
00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 3: But Hero, what has he done in the season so far?

503
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 3: He's had like one, maybe two good games. He had

504
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 3: a one good game against the Sixers that I can remember,

505
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:08,399
Speaker 3: I had like a twenty five point performance, may have

506
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 3: had like sort of one decent game versus the Hawks.

507
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:13,959
Speaker 3: Has been pretty quiet, like and not like hurting them

508
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 3: by any means, but just know the like not that consistent,

509
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 3: you know, twenty to twenty five. It's like the last

510
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 3: couple of games, it was like ten, ten, eleven, fourteen,

511
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 3: and again you know, not hitting a lot of threes

512
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:25,640
Speaker 3: in a lot of those, but not really killing them either.

513
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 3: But I think he needs to be big in a

514
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 3: couple of games for Miami to get some of those victories.

515
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:32,400
Speaker 3: And then Jalen Brown, you said the heat back court there,

516
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 3: like they gotta score, Like somebody's got to contain him.

517
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:38,920
Speaker 3: We've seen he can pick his moments in like quarters

518
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:41,719
Speaker 3: or halfs where I think he just blows open games.

519
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:45,000
Speaker 3: It's like you finally, like slow Tatum, you finally like

520
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:48,359
Speaker 3: maybe got some got some like containment on the on

521
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 3: the perimeter and you're taking away some Celtics threies. But

522
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 3: Jaalen Brown can just go off for suddenly like an

523
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,000
Speaker 3: eight o run and then you're suddenly calling time mount

524
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:56,480
Speaker 3: going jeesus, what the hell happened there? Because he's I'd like,

525
00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:57,360
Speaker 3: I love Jalen Brown.

526
00:21:57,400 --> 00:21:58,240
Speaker 2: I think he's so good.

527
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:00,800
Speaker 3: He's not at Tatum's level in are just a pure

528
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 3: shot making and all that, but he's not that far behind.

529
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 3: So you know, he had some great moments in the

530
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:09,119
Speaker 3: last series or through this entire post season run. I

531
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:10,680
Speaker 3: don't see why that would change too, and that he

532
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 3: got to like worry about him. There's a lot of

533
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 3: guys to worry about here. Let's get to predictions though,

534
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 3: that's all anybody really cares about. What do you gotta

535
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:19,359
Speaker 3: get have started?

536
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:22,680
Speaker 5: I am going to the Beanown boys. I think overall

537
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:26,640
Speaker 5: they are a better team. I think they've got more weapons. Now,

538
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 5: you know, Miami's a home and rested and fresh, so

539
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:31,400
Speaker 5: they that certainly is going to help Miami. But I've

540
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:34,399
Speaker 5: been very impressed with the way the Celtics played against

541
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 5: Brooklyn Nets, and then again they were down one oh

542
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 5: against the Milwaukee Bucks, they were down.

543
00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 2: Three to two.

544
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,440
Speaker 5: They were basically out of the series, a double digit,

545
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 5: deeply deficit. In the third quarter against the Bucks, they

546
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:46,840
Speaker 5: came back and they really toughed it out. So I

547
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:48,440
Speaker 5: am going to the Beantown Boys, and I think they'd

548
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:50,640
Speaker 5: close it home and close it out in home, at

549
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:57,639
Speaker 5: home in Beantown, Boston, all right.

550
00:22:57,560 --> 00:22:58,400
Speaker 4: Celtics and six.

551
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 3: From really, I feel like all the predictions I've seen

552
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:04,639
Speaker 3: going around from all the like you know, beat reporters

553
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:06,800
Speaker 3: and everybody covering the league, Celtics and six seems the

554
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 3: most like common prediction for this series. And it makes

555
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 3: a lot of sense. Is the way they've been playing,

556
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:13,760
Speaker 3: and they've been playing great since for you know, January,

557
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:15,080
Speaker 3: maybe the best team.

558
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:15,320
Speaker 4: In the league.

559
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 3: But Trey, what do you got for this one?

560
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:16,920
Speaker 2: Well?

561
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:18,960
Speaker 4: I think Game one is massive. I think it's almost

562
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:20,680
Speaker 4: a must win game for the Heat. They're going to

563
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:22,960
Speaker 4: be coming in a little bit better rested, and we

564
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:25,919
Speaker 4: talked about yesterday. They've had certainly an easier path to

565
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:29,360
Speaker 4: get here, whereas the Celtics just came off a crazy

566
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 4: series with the Bucks. Maybe they're riding a little bit

567
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:35,000
Speaker 4: of an emotional high, not expecting a Game one against

568
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 4: a Heat team that's just going to hit a little

569
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:40,920
Speaker 4: bit differently than than Milwaukee did. But they were also

570
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:43,639
Speaker 4: taken aback by Milwaukee in Game one of that last series.

571
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 4: And Udoka has talked about We're not letting that happen again,

572
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:48,960
Speaker 4: So I think that's kind of interesting to see. Ultimately,

573
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 4: I'm going with the Bean Town Boys as well. Celtics

574
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:53,960
Speaker 4: in seven. Well, we already saw him win the road

575
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,399
Speaker 4: game seven back to back series. That'd be wild, but

576
00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 4: they can do it.

577
00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:59,200
Speaker 3: That would be like that would almost complete their revenge

578
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:02,680
Speaker 3: tour type of thing, the right revenge on the blocks

579
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:04,680
Speaker 3: and then trying to get revenge against the Heat, who

580
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:06,479
Speaker 3: sort of have their number when it comes to conference finals,

581
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:08,919
Speaker 3: at least the last one in the bubble. What's your prediction.

582
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:12,359
Speaker 1: I gotta go with the Beantown Boys in Bean Town

583
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 1: for sure. This the Heat can overwhelm the Celtics for

584
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 1: a six minute stretch in the first game, first two games,

585
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:22,760
Speaker 1: that's what they have to do. But the fact is

586
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:25,399
Speaker 1: that the Celtics have been a lot better on the

587
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 1: road than the Heat have been on the road. So

588
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:30,159
Speaker 1: I think the Celtics can match the Heat in the

589
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:33,120
Speaker 1: first two games. They can play a tight series. They

590
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 1: had that adversity that they had to overcome with the

591
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 1: Milwaukee Bucks multiple times in that series where they had heartbreakers,

592
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:42,679
Speaker 1: so that's on their side, and the Heat have just

593
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:45,159
Speaker 1: been lousy on the road, so they got to take

594
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:47,239
Speaker 1: advantage of these home games. I do agree game one

595
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 1: feels like a must win. I guess after that, if

596
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:51,680
Speaker 1: you go down one, the Celtics are going to be

597
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:54,359
Speaker 1: riding high. But yeah, there's gonna be a six minute stretch.

598
00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:56,719
Speaker 1: I think whether it's in the second quarter how they

599
00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 1: did it to the Hawks, where the heat just overwhelmed.

600
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:01,560
Speaker 1: They might start pressing a little bit. They might start

601
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:03,840
Speaker 1: in the backboard, get a turnover here there, and just

602
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:07,159
Speaker 1: play six minutes of incredible defense, and then if they

603
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:09,000
Speaker 1: get the crowd on their side, which has been showing

604
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:12,560
Speaker 1: up recently, then they can win Game one and take

605
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:15,720
Speaker 1: that momentum into Game two. But yeah, I believe in

606
00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:19,880
Speaker 1: the Celtics steadiness, and they're just difficulty to guard those

607
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:23,720
Speaker 1: dudes because they're they're really really distributing it real real. Well,

608
00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 1: so I'll go six as well. Okay, that'll be common.

609
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:29,639
Speaker 3: Well, I'm gonna take your advice. I'm gonna swerve, and

610
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:31,640
Speaker 3: I'll do it for two reasons. One, Celtics fans will

611
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 3: be happy to hear it, because I took Boston and

612
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:37,520
Speaker 3: I took Milwaukee to beat Boss Brooklyn. I met Brooklyn

613
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:39,640
Speaker 3: and Milwaukee to beat Boston in the first two rounds,

614
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:42,000
Speaker 3: so I'll continue. I'll take Miami. Look, I think home

615
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:44,000
Speaker 3: court of is big gus fed all the reasons why

616
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 3: they have lost at home. Miami, they won my like

617
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:47,720
Speaker 3: an average of seventeen points at home, like the kick

618
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:50,280
Speaker 3: ass there, even if their fans leave a little to

619
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 3: be desired, and they had the best record in the

620
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:56,040
Speaker 3: East at home. That's something. And we know Boston can

621
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:57,239
Speaker 3: of course win one on the road, and I think

622
00:25:57,280 --> 00:25:59,880
Speaker 3: Miami can do the same in Boston. I'll go Heat,

623
00:25:59,880 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 3: and I think this is going to be one hell

624
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:04,440
Speaker 3: of a series, like an ugly series at time in

625
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 3: the best way possible and close games. It's fun because

626
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 3: it's like Tatum or Jimmy, I mean both both can

627
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:14,640
Speaker 3: take over and and just sort of will their team

628
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 3: to a victory in the final couple of minutes and

629
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:19,360
Speaker 3: hopefully we get some crunch time games here. So I'll

630
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 3: keep betting against the Beantown boys. I'll also just swerve

631
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:24,880
Speaker 3: so we all don't have the same pick, and I'll

632
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:27,119
Speaker 3: go Miami, even if the Celtics maybe make a lot

633
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:29,040
Speaker 3: more sense just with how they played, because the other

634
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:32,159
Speaker 3: thing is with Miami, We're like, well they beat the Hawks, okay,

635
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:34,520
Speaker 3: and maybe had the Sixers team that didn't have them

636
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 3: bead for a while, and James Harden doing James Harden.

637
00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:39,320
Speaker 3: It's like, it's like, how much confidence do you have

638
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:42,160
Speaker 3: from those series WINSTI they sort of kick their ass

639
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:44,960
Speaker 3: at a lot of time too in the victories. Yeah,

640
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:48,320
Speaker 3: so you know where Boston we just went over, went

641
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 3: through like two teams we thought might win the title.

642
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:52,800
Speaker 4: That's huge. But yeah, it'll be interesting to see if

643
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:55,840
Speaker 4: Jimmy can figure out some sort of motivation, like how's

644
00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:57,760
Speaker 4: he going to trash talk against the Celtics, you know,

645
00:26:57,920 --> 00:26:58,679
Speaker 4: to fire himself up.

646
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:00,960
Speaker 3: Well, they're the underdogs, even there's the number one seed.

647
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:04,840
Speaker 3: I mean, everybody's taking Boston, so that's good for me. Yeah,

648
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:08,600
Speaker 3: Like Spolster has an advantage I'm sorry over Dudoka just

649
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:11,040
Speaker 3: because he has like so much experience and trays right,

650
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:13,920
Speaker 3: not afraid to try their things, mix things, mix things up,

651
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:17,439
Speaker 3: and like just they Sposter always wants to steer the

652
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 3: game away from what the hell you want to do

653
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:21,760
Speaker 3: to like something completely else, and mainly what they want

654
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:23,320
Speaker 3: to do, and you know they're going to give it

655
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 3: a go. So I'll go heat in seven. Just to

656
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:27,600
Speaker 3: keep things fresh here. Let's hear from everybody out there.

657
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 4: Drop your beans and drop your fire emojis in the chat.

658
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 4: That's good now that we got them both covered. Glad

659
00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 4: they dropped that beans update.

660
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:37,480
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, the problem is I don't I got I

661
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:39,879
Speaker 3: don't think I've updated my operating system. I don't have

662
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 3: my beans yet on this one on this computer.

663
00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:45,159
Speaker 4: Yeah, you gotta. You gotta change over to your new

664
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 4: computer just for the beams, because I've seen you drop

665
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:50,360
Speaker 4: the bean emoji and sometimes it doesn't it won't work

666
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:51,720
Speaker 4: on this, But then I see it on my phone, like,

671
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:07,440
Speaker 3: you drop those beans, drop those fire emojis. We'll take

672
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:09,000
Speaker 3: our first break. When we come back, we'll do a

673
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 3: deep dive on the Warriors Maverick series, Don't Go Anywhere.

674
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:18,040
Speaker 3: How many studio albums does Avril Levine have ten? Seven?

675
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:20,679
Speaker 3: How many Grammy Award nominations.

676
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:22,000
Speaker 2: Do you think she has ten?

677
00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 3: Eight good? What's your favorite Avril Levin song?

678

Speaker 2: Happy Ending?

679
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 4: Okay, man, most people go skater Boy.

680
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:40,880
Speaker 3: I was surprised if you knew another.

681
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 5: I know, I think I know that it would be kids.

682
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:45,120
Speaker 5: She's actually I think she's on to herself and right

683
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:47,440
Speaker 5: now the Bite Me tour. Oh that's what I think.

684
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:49,720
Speaker 5: I think I saw that one of my fits because

685
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 5: she got engaged again. I think she's, uh, she would engaged.

686
00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:54,040
Speaker 5: She was married to that some forty one guy. I

687
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:55,960
Speaker 5: think Chad Krueger.

688
00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:57,960
Speaker 4: No, No, Derek Wibley.

689
00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:01,320
Speaker 5: Derek Whibley, Chad Krueger. She was married to Chad I

690
00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 5: think the nickel back dude.

691
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:03,840
Speaker 3: She loves her Canadians.

692
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:08,480
Speaker 2: She's I'm not sure about this new guy where he's from,

693
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:09,400
Speaker 2: but yeah, just a.

694
00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:11,760
Speaker 4: Photo gotta be Canadian. I'm guessing Geddy Lee.

695
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:17,880
Speaker 3: Her album is called Love Sucks for the Next but

696
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:21,480
Speaker 3: featuring I guess the hit song bite Me and Love

697
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:25,480
Speaker 3: It When You Hate Me and Boy's Life BLI s

698
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:28,120
Speaker 3: she only spells boys b O.

699
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 4: I oh nice? Is this a sequel to Skater Boy?

700
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 4: What's he been up to?

701
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:43,800
Speaker 3: Okay? Show us that Western Conference final schedule here it

702
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:48,080

703
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 3: seven there on t n T. But a little too

704
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:53,840
Speaker 3: late for you. Well, well, how are you gonna be

705
00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:55,880
Speaker 3: tackling these We're still going to be doing watching a

706
00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:57,080
Speaker 3: half in the second half in the morning.

707
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:00,240
Speaker 2: No, I don't think so. I think it'll be eleven

708
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:02,240
Speaker 2: thirty finish. I think I'll be up for those ones.

709
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:06,640
Speaker 4: You be, well, Yeah, Wednesday's gonna be easy, mate. We're

710
00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:09,320
Speaker 4: gonna play basketball. We'll finish at nine, we'll get back,

711
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:11,480
Speaker 4: we'll be hitting right at the perfect time. You can

712
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 4: shower at halftime.

713
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:12,720
Speaker 1: Yeah.

714
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:14,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I can't sleep after basketball anyway.

715
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:16,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, there you go.

716
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:19,479
Speaker 3: Okay, so let's start breaking down this Western Conference series,

717
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:23,920
Speaker 3: biggest Golden State Warriors. Question Legat started.

718
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:26,280
Speaker 2: How do you defend the donk? What do you do?

719
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:28,040
Speaker 5: Do you throw double at him? Do you throw singles

720
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:29,920
Speaker 5: at him? Do you just hope he has off games?

721
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:31,959
Speaker 5: Because this is what I think is going to keep

722
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:35,560
Speaker 5: Steve Kerr awake at night. Pick your poison, don Chic.

723
00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:37,880
Speaker 5: You'll say you want to throw Andrew Wiggins on me, Fine,

724
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 5: I'll take him, no worries.

725
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:42,320
Speaker 3: He's their best defender to put on him though, right, yeah,

726
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:44,960
Speaker 3: Green is going to be playing exactly exactly.

727
00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:47,560
Speaker 5: It's Wigan, It's Wiggins and Clay, I think in terms

728
00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:49,479
Speaker 5: of the size of the physically, but I don't think

729
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:51,280
Speaker 5: don Chic are scared of either one of those. I

730
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:54,080
Speaker 5: think it would be Gary Payton probably if he was playing,

731
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:56,920
Speaker 5: because that's where he wants to make his money. But

732
00:30:57,120 --> 00:31:00,400
Speaker 5: he's he's out, and I'm guessing he's out for the High.

733
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:03,640
Speaker 2: Series, but I'm not sure that's true. But yes, yeah, anyway,

734
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:03,840
Speaker 2: he's not.

735
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 5: He's certainly not playing in the first game and probably

736
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:08,080
Speaker 5: not the first two games here. And so what does

737
00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:10,240
Speaker 5: Steve Curtis He say, all right, we're just gonna have

738
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:12,760
Speaker 5: to see if Doncic goes for forty five because that

739
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:16,920
Speaker 5: is not necessarily a recipe for victory for the Dallas Mavericks.

740
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:19,600
Speaker 5: Maybe it is, but I think the Mavericks are at

741
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:24,480
Speaker 5: their best when it's Kleeber, when it's Finnie Smith, Bullock, Win, Dinwitty,

742
00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:26,720
Speaker 5: all these guys didn't. Witty comes out right now and

743
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 5: he knows he's got the green light where he's like,

744
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:30,520
Speaker 5: I can shoot, I can score, I can take the guys.

745
00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:32,520
Speaker 5: I can fire away if he gets hot like he

746
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:36,000
Speaker 5: did against the Phoenix Suns, that's perfect for the Dallas Mavericks.

747
00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:38,719
Speaker 5: So if that happens, does then Steve Kerse say, okay,

748
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:41,400
Speaker 5: will you just have to go back to single coverage

749
00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:43,160
Speaker 5: or it's like, let's just load up on Luca and

750
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:45,040
Speaker 5: just make him work. Do we attack Lucer on the

751
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:47,000
Speaker 5: defensive end as well? We saw the Suns try to

752
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:49,760
Speaker 5: do that because maybe it's like every action we just

753
00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:52,240
Speaker 5: want Lucer involved in some way. Now, he was okay

754
00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:54,720
Speaker 5: against the Suns, but you know that that's sort of

755
00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:56,480
Speaker 5: the weakness as well for the Mavericks, Like we don't

756
00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:58,080
Speaker 5: want Luca to have to work so hard on the

757
00:31:58,080 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 5: defensive end and then do all the offense as well.

758
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:04,480
Speaker 5: So great, great challenge here for the Warriors because you

759
00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:06,680
Speaker 5: know that if Luca is getting hot, you know Draymond's

760
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:07,840
Speaker 5: going to say, all right, I'm taking him for a

761
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 5: few possessions here.

762
00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:10,080
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna make it difficult for him.

763
00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:12,680
Speaker 5: But I also think Luke would say I were more

764
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:14,720
Speaker 5: than happy to go against Raymond as well. He's shown

765
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:17,000
Speaker 5: that no one can really stop him. He's got range

766
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:19,200
Speaker 5: obviously on his threes. He can get inside with that

767
00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:21,760
Speaker 5: super slow mo fast move action that he does that

768
00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:24,040
Speaker 5: it's like it looks like he's slow, but he's kind

769
00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:25,920
Speaker 5: of fast and he's beating guys and he's going to

770
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:28,720
Speaker 5: get inside. And I really do think that this is

771
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:30,400
Speaker 5: going to be the key to the series, is if

772
00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 5: the Mavericks can slow him down. Does that slow the

773
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:35,360
Speaker 5: Mavericks down or does it almost play into their hands

774
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:37,680
Speaker 5: somewhat if these other guys like that, because if they

775
00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:39,880
Speaker 5: have double coverage, someone's going to be open. And even

776
00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 5: if it's a Berton's coming off the bench, he's like,

777
00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:43,800
Speaker 5: I'm shooting if the ball comes to me. I don't

778
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:46,720
Speaker 5: think I've seen Burton's ever pass the ball. Look, he's

779
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:48,680
Speaker 5: not a great you can't rely on him, but sometimes

780
00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:50,240
Speaker 5: he'll hit three or four in a row in a minute,

781
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:51,480
Speaker 5: and that's what the Mavericks need.

782
00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:55,320
Speaker 3: Recent history shows that Steve kru and the Warriors are

783
00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:58,280
Speaker 3: gonna play Luca straight up right, that the doubles are

784
00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:00,720
Speaker 3: actually not going to becoming We sign against your They said,

785
00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:02,320
Speaker 3: all right, go to work in the paint, big man.

786
00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:04,120
Speaker 3: One on one. We're not sending a lot of help,

787
00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:05,960
Speaker 3: so you can just like splash out all these guys

788
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:08,880
Speaker 3: cutting and shooting, and he scored a ton. But obviously

789
00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:11,360
Speaker 3: the Warriors won. John Morant they did similar things, now

790
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:13,480
Speaker 3: different players, but they backed up off them. They stayed

791
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:15,960
Speaker 3: at home on shooters and Moran averaged like thirty eight

792
00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:18,280
Speaker 3: when you know he was playing in that series. But

793
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:21,280
Speaker 3: the Warriors won. So I would think they'll do the

794
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:23,320
Speaker 3: They'll try at least to start the exact same sort

795
00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:23,800
Speaker 3: of game plan.

796
00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:24,120
Speaker 4: Right.

797
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:26,920
Speaker 3: You put a Wiggins, you put a Clay, and you

798
00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:29,280
Speaker 3: just try and keep all these other guys out of

799
00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:33,120
Speaker 3: the game as much as possible. Brunson, Dinwitty, Bullock, DFS

800
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:33,520
Speaker 3: and all that.

801
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:38,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, you try. The difference is with Jokic and Morant

802
00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:41,280
Speaker 1: is that there are obviously a weapon at or a

803
00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:44,560
Speaker 1: Doncis is a weapon at any time, and you need

804
00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:48,240
Speaker 1: a pick to come set for him to get him open.

805
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:50,360
Speaker 1: And then there's two guys there, and then there's gonna

806
00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:53,120
Speaker 1: be some help in in the lane, you know, Like

807
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:55,760
Speaker 1: I think Jokic, you know, could go for forty Doncic

808
00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:59,640
Speaker 1: could go four forty and fifteen assists. I think the

809
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:03,360
Speaker 1: the the potential for a monstrous game scoring an assist

810
00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:05,520
Speaker 1: is a little bit higher even right now with Luca

811
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:08,680
Speaker 1: with how scorching is, especially with how they're going to play,

812
00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:11,480
Speaker 1: could be five out, could be even you know, Maxic

813
00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:13,200
Speaker 1: Cleeban is going to play a lot in this series

814
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:17,239
Speaker 1: at the five. But there was definitely a lot of

815
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:20,680
Speaker 1: possessions throughout the regular season against the Warriors where they

816
00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:24,040
Speaker 1: went four wings plus Luka Doncics, where Dori and Finney

817
00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:26,040
Speaker 1: Smith was the biggest guy. Anthony Slater doing a good

818
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:28,080
Speaker 1: job on the Athletic of breaking down their games throughout

819
00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:32,560
Speaker 1: this season. And there's going to be you know, small

820
00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:35,960
Speaker 1: ball heaven for everybody. It's tiny out there, so there's

821
00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:37,560
Speaker 1: gonna be a lot of scoring. So I think Luca

822
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:40,160
Speaker 1: he could be obviously a weapon on the perimeter. He

823
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:42,200
Speaker 1: could be a weapon in the lane with those types

824
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:45,880
Speaker 1: of lineups because I think the mass might go ultra

825
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:50,279
Speaker 1: small at times. So it's, yeah, it's ridiculously tough right

826
00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:52,759
Speaker 1: now with the way Luca is feeling, but they're gonna go,

827
00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:56,600
Speaker 1: yeah with Wiggins to try and even fight over screens

828
00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:58,520
Speaker 1: at times, but then Luca's gonna get in the lane.

829
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:00,800
Speaker 1: Then you know, you might bring a pick and Draymond

830
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:03,960
Speaker 1: might drop back or Kevin Looney might drop back, but

831
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:07,480
Speaker 1: you know Luca is going to hurt people, So yeah,

832
00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:09,759
Speaker 1: there's potential for some Mantros scoring series here.

833
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:11,919
Speaker 3: Trey, how do you think Kerr at least game one,

834
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:14,440
Speaker 3: they at least try and guard Luca. Is it just

835
00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:16,600
Speaker 3: straight up? Or do you really try and get the

836
00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:18,080
Speaker 3: ball out of his hands and make somebody else speach you?

837
00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:20,160
Speaker 4: What do you do? I remember after Jah had forty

838
00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:23,120
Speaker 4: seven against the Warriors, we were having a discussion like

839
00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:25,440
Speaker 4: should they double or should they not because they weren't doubling.

840
00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:26,799
Speaker 4: So I assume that's going to be the case. And

841
00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:29,200
Speaker 4: I assume that just like Joe Orge thirty eight a

842
00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:33,000
Speaker 4: game against the Warriors in three games of their playoff series,

843
00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:35,360
Speaker 4: I think that Donk will be about the same really,

844
00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:37,359
Speaker 4: just because he's going to be playing one on one

845
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:39,680
Speaker 4: a lot of this because the Mavericks are gonna want

846
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:41,479
Speaker 4: to shoot threes and the Warriors know that, so they're

847
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:44,400
Speaker 4: gonna try and just make it. Can you beat us Luca?

848
00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:48,040
Speaker 4: And we shall see if he does, and then maybe

849
00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:50,239
Speaker 4: things change over the course of time. Besei with Lee,

850
00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:53,239
Speaker 4: it seems almost like the two best choices for the

851
00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:55,520
Speaker 4: Warriors guarding doncc are both going to be missing at

852
00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:58,680
Speaker 4: least to start the series. In Iguadala and Gary Payton,

853
00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:01,120
Speaker 4: the second who would probably be the p Wiggans, will

854
00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:03,160
Speaker 4: get a chance. He's not strong enough to guard Dancic

855
00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:05,759
Speaker 4: one on one. Draymond's not quick enough, so there will

856
00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:08,239
Speaker 4: be opportunities for Doncic to score, but he's gonna want

857
00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:10,719
Speaker 4: to get everybody involved as well. The other big question

858
00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:13,000
Speaker 4: for me for the Warriors is can they control the

859
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:16,160
Speaker 4: ball at all in this series because they were pretty

860
00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:20,160
Speaker 4: bad with it against Memphis and the Suns or I'm sorry,

861
00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:21,839
Speaker 4: the Mavericks did a really good job of turning over

862
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:24,120
Speaker 4: the Suns. I think they forced fifteen turnovers a game

863
00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:26,560
Speaker 4: over the course of seven games. And the Suns are

864
00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:29,200
Speaker 4: a great ball control team, they just happen to fall apart.

865
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:32,840
Speaker 4: The Warriors don't seem to value the ball all that

866
00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:36,080
Speaker 4: much right period, Like I would say over the course

867
00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:38,960
Speaker 4: of time, but really that's just been the case. Turnovers

868
00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:41,920
Speaker 4: and threes both tilted Dallas's way over the course of

869
00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:44,920
Speaker 4: the series with the Suns, which was a surprise to

870
00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:47,520
Speaker 4: me certainly coming in obviously, the Warriors want to shoot

871
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:50,480
Speaker 4: threes more often than Phoenix did. But if they're turning

872
00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:53,200
Speaker 4: the ball over, that's going to be easy buckets for Dallas.

873
00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:55,839
Speaker 4: So they got to do something to at least, you know,

874
00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:58,880
Speaker 4: keep it under fifteen turnovers a game. I think they

875
00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:01,719
Speaker 4: average seventeen turnovers the game against the Grizzlies, it was

876
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:04,280
Speaker 4: really bad. But if they're able to keep it to thirteen,

877
00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:06,719
Speaker 4: if you don't have a half where you have twelve turnovers,

878
00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:07,600
Speaker 4: that's so much better.

879
00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:10,120
Speaker 3: Do you have any other Warriors questions with this series

880
00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:11,879
Speaker 3: or are you really focusing on sort of the Luca

881
00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:12,840
Speaker 3: element of everything.

882
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:16,520
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, I think the turnovers is a big difference

883
00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:19,160
Speaker 1: for them going from the Mavericks. I'm sorry, going from

884
00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:21,080
Speaker 1: the Grizzlies to the Mavericks because the Grizzlies were just

885
00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:23,600
Speaker 1: able to turn them over so many times, so hopefully for.

886
00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:24,400
Speaker 3: Them and that's there.

887
00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:28,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, the MAVs. The MAVs take it easy. But

888
00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:31,320
Speaker 1: I think Jason Kidd played it a little bit differently

889
00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:36,040
Speaker 1: in round two when you know, he was blitzing Devin Booker.

890
00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:38,440
Speaker 1: So that's that's going to be different for the Warriors.

891
00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:41,680
Speaker 3: Do you think uh Kuminga could be uh you know,

892
00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:44,520
Speaker 3: break glass in case of emergency type of defender here too.

893
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:46,440
Speaker 3: You know, he's got the he's got the physical tools

894
00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:48,160
Speaker 3: to like, he's the type of build you'd want to

895
00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:51,279
Speaker 3: put against a Luca, But obviously super Young didn't play

896
00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:52,759
Speaker 3: all that well when he got a chance there in

897
00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:56,799
Speaker 3: the last series. He's overly aggressive, al prone, you know,

898
00:37:56,960 --> 00:37:58,200
Speaker 3: Like I look at.

899
00:37:58,120 --> 00:37:59,960
Speaker 4: The line, I would say, definitely guard him with kuminga.

900
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:01,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's probably the case.

901
00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:03,680
Speaker 5: It would obviously depend on the moment of the game.

902
00:38:03,719 --> 00:38:06,239
Speaker 5: If Luca's hot, Draymond's in foul trouble, yeah, you know,

903
00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:08,120
Speaker 5: then it's like, all right, you've got three possession. See

904
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:09,680
Speaker 5: if he can just just just give him a look

905
00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:12,680
Speaker 5: that he hasn't seen before. Maybe, but obviously it won't

906
00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:15,240
Speaker 5: be one of the first things that Steve Kerr turns

907
00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:15,640
Speaker 5: to here.

908
00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:17,440
Speaker 2: But you know, Jordan Paul.

909
00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:19,120
Speaker 5: As well, Like again, not a great defender, but he's

910
00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:21,279
Speaker 5: quick and he can maybe you know, getting you know,

911
00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:23,120
Speaker 5: just just again give him a different look.

912
00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:25,560
Speaker 2: If he's cooking, I think the Mavericks are going to

913
00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:26,439
Speaker 2: be looking for Joe.

914
00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:29,880
Speaker 5: But I'm just saying, like, like, if Luca's cooking and

915
00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:32,600
Speaker 5: these other guys have been already like Luca's already just

916
00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:35,640
Speaker 5: sort of blown by those guys, and then you might

917
00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:37,239
Speaker 5: want to work him at the other end as well.

918
00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:40,480
Speaker 4: So that's there's.

919
00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:42,520
Speaker 2: Not an easy answer here for Steve Kirk. That's the thing.

920
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:44,880
Speaker 2: Luca's not afraid of anybody who's defending him.

921
00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:48,080
Speaker 3: Let's go to the Mavericks. Then, biggest question for them

922
00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:50,120
Speaker 3: in this series as the under Dark's heading in here

923
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:50,360
Speaker 3: on the.

924
00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:53,280
Speaker 1: Road, Well, I think that's how they guard Steph Curry

925
00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:56,520
Speaker 1: because if they try and blitz him like they have

926
00:38:56,680 --> 00:38:59,800
Speaker 1: throughout this regular season, Jason Kid trade that multiple times

927
00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:03,880
Speaker 1: like they did against Devin Booker. Can the Warriors dismantle

928
00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:06,480
Speaker 1: this Mavericks defense that has been incredible? I think the

929
00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:10,359
Speaker 1: Warriors are so fricking experienced that even though they want

930
00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:13,839
Speaker 1: the ball with in Curry's hands a ton to bring

931
00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:15,279
Speaker 1: it up and not just come off the ball. I

932
00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:17,399
Speaker 1: think the Warriors can figure it out, and they may

933
00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:22,120
Speaker 1: be able to get enough shooting around Steph and be

934
00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:24,400
Speaker 1: able to run their splits where Curry doesn't bring up

935
00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:27,960
Speaker 1: the ball and find answers. They've seen every defense out there,

936
00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:30,440
Speaker 1: so I think if Kid gets over aggressive, the Warriors

937
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:32,960
Speaker 1: could take advantage of that. But the only way they

938
00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:36,080
Speaker 1: take advantage of that is if Draymond Green is any

939
00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:40,360
Speaker 1: sort of the best version of himself to be aggressive,

940
00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:43,760
Speaker 1: because there were times where he was not aggressive against

941
00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:46,239
Speaker 1: the Grizzlies, didn't look at the rim a lot of

942
00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:49,239
Speaker 1: that series, didn't take more than five shots in the

943
00:39:49,239 --> 00:39:52,040
Speaker 1: first five games, but then he got hot in game six,

944
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:55,320
Speaker 1: he took fourteen shots, fourteen points, and the Warriors offense

945
00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:58,600
Speaker 1: looked way better. So how do you guard Steph? Because yeah,

946
00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:01,239
Speaker 1: if you go back and watch these four games that

947
00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:04,200
Speaker 1: they played this season, I think Steph was only there

948
00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:05,640
Speaker 1: for three of them, but they blitzed him and they

949
00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:07,160
Speaker 1: tried to get the ball out of his hands, and

950
00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:09,040
Speaker 1: Steph did not like that. He had a fourth quarter

951
00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:12,120
Speaker 1: if you remember that bad part of their season where

952
00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:14,080
Speaker 1: he had a fourth quarter against the mass where he

953
00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:16,239
Speaker 1: had zero shot attempts, and he said it after the game,

954
00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:20,920
Speaker 1: this was the most I think controversial or or the

955
00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:24,400
Speaker 1: most that Steve Kerr and Steph Curry never ever like,

956
00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:27,200
Speaker 1: you know, we're not seeing eye to eye, or Steph

957
00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:29,920
Speaker 1: said we got to do something different. Here was he

958
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:32,120
Speaker 1: was pissed after this game. So I was kind of

959
00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:34,640
Speaker 1: a learning experience I think for this team, So how

960
00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:36,920
Speaker 1: they defend stuff is the biggest question to me because

961
00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:39,120
Speaker 1: that's how everything else trickles down with this team.

962
00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:40,759
Speaker 3: In some of those regular season matchups too, Correct me

963
00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:42,440
Speaker 3: if I'm wrong. Draymond didn't play in some of them.

964
00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:46,319
Speaker 3: Didn't play in some of them. Yeah, what about you, Trey.

965
00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:48,319
Speaker 3: When it comes to the Maverick side of things, are

966
00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:50,320
Speaker 3: the role players going to show up and hit some threes?

967
00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:53,560
Speaker 4: Because that's what you need from Dallas. You basically need

968
00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:55,200
Speaker 4: one other guy to have a really good game and

969
00:40:55,239 --> 00:40:58,520
Speaker 4: you've got a chance with how well Doncic has been playing.

970
00:40:58,560 --> 00:41:01,600
Speaker 4: So in Round one, Brunts was the guy, especially before

971
00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:03,560
Speaker 4: Luca showed up, and then they looked their best when

972
00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:06,319
Speaker 4: he was playing well. Kleiba has been massive for the

973
00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:10,319
Speaker 4: Mavericks this entire postseason. Has really changed the ceiling for

974
00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:12,000
Speaker 4: them with how well he's been shooting the ball because

975
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:14,040
Speaker 4: he was struggle mode for the end of the season

976
00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:17,520
Speaker 4: and then dinwitty thirty points in Game seven. The Warriors

977
00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:21,200
Speaker 4: are definitely trying to take away the others. Like we've

978
00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:24,400
Speaker 4: talked about, it's gonna be Luca, can you beat us?

979
00:41:24,440 --> 00:41:27,000
Speaker 4: But they can't just expect Luca to score fifty points

980
00:41:27,080 --> 00:41:29,000
Speaker 4: and maybe they pull off a one oh three to

981
00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:31,680
Speaker 4: ninety nine victory and scratch it out. I don't think

982
00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:34,000
Speaker 4: that's gonna be the case. So it's gonna be on

983
00:41:34,080 --> 00:41:36,520
Speaker 4: Jason kidd to figure out ways to get Brunson involved,

984
00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:40,440
Speaker 4: to get Dinwiddie involved, even if they don't necessarily have

985
00:41:40,880 --> 00:41:43,360
Speaker 4: a four on three or a matchup that's bent towards Luca,

986
00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:47,120
Speaker 4: there's gonna have to be additional scoring from anybody else

987
00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:49,799
Speaker 4: besides Doncic, because he's gonna be great when he's on.

988
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:54,160
Speaker 4: We know that, but making threes and getting supplementary scoring

989
00:41:54,239 --> 00:41:56,120
Speaker 4: is gonna be huge for Dallas.

990
00:41:56,280 --> 00:41:59,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, Maxi Kleba's hit thirty nine threes in the postseason.

991
00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:01,840
Speaker 2: Name percent clip mad Maxie.

992
00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:02,920
Speaker 4: That's crazy.

993
00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:05,080
Speaker 3: And like Trees said, he was garbage at the end

994
00:42:05,080 --> 00:42:06,960
Speaker 3: of the season, like he couldn't hit the three. But

995
00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:09,040
Speaker 3: he's been unlocked here. He's playing a ton ofmentally Dway

996
00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:11,520
Speaker 3: Powell gets the start, I assume nothing's gonna change with that,

997
00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:16,440
Speaker 3: Like are we seeing Looney versus Powell for five minutes.

998
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:17,319
Speaker 4: Or what is there on the court?

999
00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:19,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then it's like, okay, let's go let's go

1000
00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:21,880
Speaker 3: small ball, and there should be a lot of that

1001
00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:24,080
Speaker 3: in this series. But what are you thinking here from DALLASA.

1002
00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:27,480
Speaker 5: Well, obviously they just came off a very convincing series

1003
00:42:27,520 --> 00:42:30,120
Speaker 5: in Game seven victory over the championship favorite, probably the

1004
00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:30,680
Speaker 5: Phoenix Sun.

1005
00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:31,920
Speaker 4: It feels a little bit.

1006
00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:33,759
Speaker 5: Like the Maps are like the Hawks last season where

1007
00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:35,440
Speaker 5: I remember the Hawks got past the Necks and then

1008
00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:37,120
Speaker 5: they were down against the Sixers and it was like,

1009
00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:39,200
Speaker 5: oh wow, they actually came back. They win a Game

1010
00:42:39,239 --> 00:42:41,359
Speaker 5: seven on the road. Trey Young was huge, and then

1011
00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:43,880
Speaker 5: they faced the Milwaukee Bucks and that was a good series.

1012
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:45,960
Speaker 5: But it was like it was almost like they were

1013
00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:48,440
Speaker 5: punching above their weight there the Hawks. So the Mavericks

1014
00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:50,279
Speaker 5: doing that to some extent, you know with all these

1015
00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:52,560
Speaker 5: guys who were contributing. Did they just get the Jazz

1016
00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:54,440
Speaker 5: who were kind of in shambles and then they just

1017
00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:56,399
Speaker 5: got hot against the Phoenix Suns or is it more

1018
00:42:56,440 --> 00:42:56,799
Speaker 5: to it?

1019
00:42:56,920 --> 00:42:57,120
Speaker 2: You know?

1020
00:42:57,160 --> 00:42:59,160
Speaker 5: And it's sort of like what Trey saying there. I

1021
00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:01,399
Speaker 5: think if the if the Mavericks do win this year,

1022
00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:03,840
Speaker 5: you're going to have a big Spencer, big big Jalen

1023
00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:06,239
Speaker 5: Brunson game and then it is the Maxi and the

1024
00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:08,960
Speaker 5: Reggie Bullock whatever his name is. He's also going to

1025
00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:12,040
Speaker 5: have some big performances there down in Dallas. So, I mean,

1026
00:43:12,080 --> 00:43:15,480
Speaker 5: I certainly do believe in Dallas, but this is another

1027
00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:18,840
Speaker 5: challenge against a team that has been there, and the

1028
00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:20,880
Speaker 5: Warriors have also got that no one believes in us

1029
00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:23,640
Speaker 5: sort of mentality. You know, they went to the finals

1030
00:43:23,640 --> 00:43:24,920
Speaker 5: what five years in around they didn't even make the

1031
00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:26,919
Speaker 5: playoffs for two years, and now they could be back

1032
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:30,120
Speaker 5: in the finals with largely the same team, certainly the

1033
00:43:30,200 --> 00:43:32,920
Speaker 5: three core pieces and the coach. So and I guess

1034
00:43:32,960 --> 00:43:34,759
Speaker 5: Iguidala technically is back there as well.

1035
00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:39,000
Speaker 4: Soloney was around, He was around doing nice, but he

1036
00:43:39,040 --> 00:43:39,359
Speaker 4: was around.

1037
00:43:39,719 --> 00:43:41,120
Speaker 2: I can't I can't remember seeing too much.

1038
00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:43,319
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, that's right around for a long time.

1039
00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:45,800
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, yeah he I remember Kawhi who like flung

1040
00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:48,000
Speaker 5: him out the way and didn't he dislocate his shoulder

1041
00:43:48,040 --> 00:43:50,120
Speaker 5: or something like that in Toronto and.

1042
00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:50,440
Speaker 2: Then he came back.

1043
00:43:50,480 --> 00:43:55,600
Speaker 5: So Looney's there, but do a Looney in Canada. Serious

1044
00:43:56,080 --> 00:43:58,080
Speaker 5: And again the Warriors are at home, you know, all

1045
00:43:58,120 --> 00:44:00,560
Speaker 5: those sorts of factors, like they've been rested for a

1046
00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:03,760
Speaker 5: couple of extra days here, they're the favorite, so things,

1047
00:44:04,360 --> 00:44:06,520
Speaker 5: you know, in terms of a gambling perspective, I would

1048
00:44:06,520 --> 00:44:08,280
Speaker 5: say leaning towards Golden State, yeah.

1049
00:44:08,080 --> 00:44:10,120
Speaker 3: But have you been impressed by gold State like through

1050
00:44:10,120 --> 00:44:11,319
Speaker 3: these first times?

1051
00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:11,640
Speaker 4: Yeah?

1052
00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:15,840
Speaker 5: Not certainly, not like day no, no no, but it

1053
00:44:15,960 --> 00:44:18,600
Speaker 5: certainly feels like again when what was a Game six

1054
00:44:18,680 --> 00:44:20,200
Speaker 5: clay against the Grizzlies.

1055
00:44:20,680 --> 00:44:22,600
Speaker 2: That's the sort of stuff where it's like, wow.

1056
00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:24,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, you can see why, you know, you can. You

1057
00:44:24,560 --> 00:44:26,200
Speaker 5: can easily see the Warriors going all the way. But

1058
00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:29,480
Speaker 5: Game one against the Grizzlies and then Game two against

1059
00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:31,320
Speaker 5: the Grizzlies, they weren't all that good. They win the

1060
00:44:31,320 --> 00:44:33,719
Speaker 5: first game, of course, but Jar hits that layup. Maybe

1061
00:44:33,719 --> 00:44:35,600
Speaker 5: it's a different series in the different story.

1062
00:44:35,920 --> 00:44:38,440
Speaker 3: Potential X factors with this one Treger has started.

1063
00:44:38,680 --> 00:44:40,440
Speaker 4: I think it's the two big guys that we've mentioned

1064
00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:43,640
Speaker 4: a couple of times, Looney and Max see Cavan and

1065
00:44:43,719 --> 00:44:48,040
Speaker 4: Kleeber because Steve Kurr definitely trusts Kevon Looney and for

1066
00:44:48,120 --> 00:44:51,160
Speaker 4: whatever reason, he always leans defense with his lineups. So

1067
00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:53,000
Speaker 4: I do think that Looney is going to get the start.

1068
00:44:53,080 --> 00:44:56,400
Speaker 4: He'll probably match minutes with Dwyight Powell, and he was

1069
00:44:56,520 --> 00:45:01,040
Speaker 4: massive in Game six twenty two rebar the double bacon

1070
00:45:01,160 --> 00:45:05,439
Speaker 4: roast beef, great stuff from Looney. But if Kleeba's hitting

1071
00:45:05,440 --> 00:45:07,920
Speaker 4: his threes, if we see Maxi Cleba hitting forty nine

1072
00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:09,839
Speaker 4: percent from three like he has in the first couple

1073
00:45:09,880 --> 00:45:12,239
Speaker 4: of rounds of the playoffs, twenty five percent during the

1074
00:45:12,280 --> 00:45:15,359
Speaker 4: last three months of the regular season, wild stuff to

1075
00:45:15,360 --> 00:45:19,160
Speaker 4: two x your shooting percentage in the playoffs. But if

1076
00:45:19,160 --> 00:45:21,080
Speaker 4: he's able to stay on the court, that's definitely the

1077
00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:23,520
Speaker 4: MAVs best lineup with Kliba there as a sort of

1078
00:45:23,600 --> 00:45:26,279
Speaker 4: rim protector, sort of a stretch big, and then other

1079
00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:29,000
Speaker 4: shooters out there. The maps are really tough to stop.

1080
00:45:29,640 --> 00:45:31,239
Speaker 4: But if you're the Warriors, then you got to bring

1081
00:45:31,280 --> 00:45:33,879
Speaker 4: in Jordan Poole and guess what, Like you're saying, Pool

1082
00:45:33,960 --> 00:45:35,880
Speaker 4: is going to be involved in every single action, and

1083
00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:37,799
Speaker 4: when it's not Pool, it's gonna be Curry. Yeah, So

1084
00:45:37,880 --> 00:45:39,719
Speaker 4: it's gonna be really interesting to see. Kleiba has to

1085
00:45:39,760 --> 00:45:41,160
Speaker 4: shoot the ball well to be able to stay on

1086
00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:43,640
Speaker 4: the court, I think, and Looney has to be able

1087
00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:45,680
Speaker 4: to hang a little bit for the Warriors to throw

1088
00:45:45,719 --> 00:45:48,759
Speaker 4: out some of their best lineups. So this is it's

1089
00:45:48,760 --> 00:45:50,720
Speaker 4: gonna be crazy, like I don't think that this series

1090
00:45:50,719 --> 00:45:53,320
Speaker 4: should really come down to Looney and Kleiba, but sometimes

1091
00:45:53,560 --> 00:45:55,480
Speaker 4: it does come back to just being able to play

1092
00:45:55,719 --> 00:45:58,640
Speaker 4: your best lineup, and those guys are influential for both

1093
00:45:58,640 --> 00:45:59,160
Speaker 4: of their teams.

1094
00:45:59,239 --> 00:46:01,560
Speaker 1: Task what do you have for Yeah, it's going to

1095
00:46:01,600 --> 00:46:04,120
Speaker 1: be interesting to see how many minutes those bags play

1096
00:46:04,200 --> 00:46:08,239
Speaker 1: because once they go small both teams, it's really there's

1097
00:46:08,239 --> 00:46:10,720
Speaker 1: gonna be a ton of space out there. And again

1098
00:46:10,760 --> 00:46:12,279
Speaker 1: not just Clee, but I think that Mass can go

1099
00:46:12,360 --> 00:46:14,440
Speaker 1: super small. And that's so I think Jordan Poole is

1100
00:46:14,800 --> 00:46:17,160
Speaker 1: monstrous in this series. He is going to play a lot,

1101
00:46:17,200 --> 00:46:19,520
Speaker 1: and especially with the way the Mats are going to

1102
00:46:19,560 --> 00:46:21,759
Speaker 1: take away Curry, I do believe. And the reason why

1103
00:46:21,760 --> 00:46:24,640
Speaker 1: I think these first two rounds haven't been ridiculously impressive

1104
00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:28,280
Speaker 1: for the Warriors because we haven't got a consistent Clay,

1105
00:46:28,719 --> 00:46:31,840
Speaker 1: we haven't got consistent Wiggins. But I think this is

1106
00:46:31,880 --> 00:46:34,200
Speaker 1: Jordan Poole's time to shine. I think he is going

1107
00:46:34,200 --> 00:46:36,840
Speaker 1: to get plenty of opportunity here because you're going to

1108
00:46:36,880 --> 00:46:38,239
Speaker 1: take the ball out of Curry's hands. The Ball's going

1109
00:46:38,280 --> 00:46:40,359
Speaker 1: to end up in Jordan Poole's hands and he can

1110
00:46:40,360 --> 00:46:43,520
Speaker 1: make some magic he's got those long levers and we're

1111
00:46:43,560 --> 00:46:45,360
Speaker 1: gonna see lots of crossovers. We're going to see that

1112
00:46:45,400 --> 00:46:49,239
Speaker 1: athleticism get into the rim. He's just a talented dude. Now,

1113
00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:51,279
Speaker 1: he is a bit of a pilon on the other

1114
00:46:51,360 --> 00:46:55,280
Speaker 1: end of I Patrick Beverly called Jordan Poole a pylon.

1115
00:46:55,800 --> 00:46:59,600
Speaker 1: That's somewhat reasonable. The Chris Paul is ridiculous. But anyway,

1116
00:47:00,280 --> 00:47:06,720
Speaker 1: we almost won an hour bringing up very ridiculous stuff.

1117
00:47:07,280 --> 00:47:09,560
Speaker 1: But Jordan Poole, yeah, he leaves a little bit to

1118
00:47:09,600 --> 00:47:12,279
Speaker 1: be desired on the defensive end. But they've got to

1119
00:47:12,320 --> 00:47:14,359
Speaker 1: find a way of putting him on a you know,

1120
00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:16,560
Speaker 1: somebody who doesn't put the ball on the floor, a

1121
00:47:16,560 --> 00:47:19,400
Speaker 1: Bullock or Dorian Phinney Smith and switch. And the Warriors

1122
00:47:19,480 --> 00:47:21,680
Speaker 1: defense is just so smart. Draymond Green will be telling him,

1123
00:47:21,719 --> 00:47:24,279
Speaker 1: get the hell over there, get go, get dough. That's

1124
00:47:24,320 --> 00:47:26,399
Speaker 1: what they call Dorian Finney Smith, Go get somebody else.

1125
00:47:26,440 --> 00:47:27,640
Speaker 1: Just stay in front of that guy and get the

1126
00:47:27,640 --> 00:47:30,880
Speaker 1: hell off Luca. And so I think he's going to

1127
00:47:30,920 --> 00:47:33,680
Speaker 1: play a key fact. I'm just gonna watch how many

1128
00:47:33,719 --> 00:47:37,200
Speaker 1: minutes there are with without any of those bigs on

1129
00:47:37,239 --> 00:47:39,719
Speaker 1: the floor, whether it's Pale cleevebook count of a big

1130
00:47:39,800 --> 00:47:42,560
Speaker 1: as a big in this series or Looney, They're gonna

1131
00:47:42,560 --> 00:47:45,239
Speaker 1: be some tiny, tiny minutes and lots of space out

1132
00:47:45,239 --> 00:47:46,239
Speaker 1: there for these guys to work.

1133
00:47:46,560 --> 00:47:48,480
Speaker 2: Lee, I'm going with Joylen Bronson.

1134
00:47:48,760 --> 00:47:51,880
Speaker 5: I think he was obviously brilliant against the Jazz, average

1135
00:47:51,920 --> 00:47:53,879
Speaker 5: twenty eight a game in that series. Now, I think

1136
00:47:53,880 --> 00:47:55,919
Speaker 5: that was probably a bit of a high watermark for him,

1137
00:47:55,920 --> 00:47:58,120
Speaker 5: but he cooled off against the Suns. He got more

1138
00:47:58,120 --> 00:48:01,040
Speaker 5: defensive pressure there, and in losses he really did struggle.

1139
00:48:01,080 --> 00:48:03,280
Speaker 5: I think because all those guys are talking about Cleeber,

1140
00:48:03,360 --> 00:48:07,080
Speaker 5: Finny Smith and Block and Spencer. Okay, it's nice if

1141
00:48:07,120 --> 00:48:08,680
Speaker 5: you can get one or two of those per game,

1142
00:48:08,719 --> 00:48:10,759
Speaker 5: but I think you need someone to be more consistent

1143
00:48:10,800 --> 00:48:13,080
Speaker 5: every game. Brunson gets a lot of the ball. He

1144
00:48:13,560 --> 00:48:15,759
Speaker 5: can be the distributor of the playmaker, and he can

1145
00:48:15,800 --> 00:48:17,759
Speaker 5: get inside, he can get to the free throw line,

1146
00:48:17,760 --> 00:48:20,040
Speaker 5: and he can hit those three. So he needs to

1147
00:48:20,080 --> 00:48:20,960
Speaker 5: be consistent.

1148
00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:21,160
Speaker 2: Now.

1149
00:48:21,160 --> 00:48:23,600
Speaker 5: He ended up finishing averaging nineteen points a game on

1150
00:48:23,680 --> 00:48:26,239
Speaker 5: forty four percent against the Sun. Didn't quite feel like

1151
00:48:26,320 --> 00:48:28,440
Speaker 5: that though, felt like he was maybe not quite as

1152
00:48:28,600 --> 00:48:31,239
Speaker 5: productive as that because in a couple of games he

1153
00:48:31,280 --> 00:48:34,000
Speaker 5: did stink a little bit. So he was obviously good

1154
00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:37,120
Speaker 5: there in Game seven, but everyone was for the Dallas Mavericks.

1155
00:48:37,280 --> 00:48:40,520
Speaker 5: But I think it is key that Luca knows that

1156
00:48:40,520 --> 00:48:42,640
Speaker 5: those other guys are going to contribute game in, game out.

1157
00:48:42,680 --> 00:48:45,120
Speaker 5: But if he can rely on Brunson and Jason Kidd

1158
00:48:45,120 --> 00:48:48,040
Speaker 5: the same to just handle some minutes, that is going

1159
00:48:48,120 --> 00:48:49,160
Speaker 5: to be huge for the Mavericks.

1160
00:48:49,400 --> 00:48:51,480
Speaker 3: I'm more with Draymond Green, which sounds crazy as an

1161
00:48:51,560 --> 00:48:53,919
Speaker 3: X factor, but like offensively, you already said it. They're

1162
00:48:53,920 --> 00:48:56,080
Speaker 3: gonna blitz and trap Curry and they're just going to

1163
00:48:56,080 --> 00:48:57,719
Speaker 3: try and get the ball away from him. And that

1164
00:48:57,800 --> 00:48:59,440
Speaker 3: means usually Green is going to be open in the

1165
00:48:59,440 --> 00:49:02,040
Speaker 3: middle and when you look at the rim, because at

1166
00:49:02,080 --> 00:49:03,919
Speaker 3: times he just doesn't even look at it. And then

1167
00:49:04,160 --> 00:49:06,080
Speaker 3: Game six was a perfect example. He's like, oh yeah,

1168
00:49:06,120 --> 00:49:07,320
Speaker 3: I need to attack and I need to score, and

1169
00:49:07,360 --> 00:49:09,960
Speaker 3: he had the fourteen shots, scored fourteen points. It just

1170
00:49:10,239 --> 00:49:12,319
Speaker 3: opens them up. It loosens them up a little bit

1171
00:49:12,480 --> 00:49:14,560
Speaker 3: when he's at least a bit of a threat to

1172
00:49:14,640 --> 00:49:17,719
Speaker 3: sort of attack and in addition to playmake and he

1173
00:49:17,800 --> 00:49:19,560
Speaker 3: has to like take care of the ball a little

1174
00:49:19,560 --> 00:49:23,040
Speaker 3: bit too. He gets so sloppy where he's like, Okay,

1175
00:49:23,040 --> 00:49:24,799
Speaker 3: I'm going to try and throw this little bounce pass

1176
00:49:24,840 --> 00:49:27,200
Speaker 3: through traffic and there's like the tiniest window he can

1177
00:49:27,200 --> 00:49:28,920
Speaker 3: get through sometimes, but other times you're like, what are

1178
00:49:28,960 --> 00:49:29,359
Speaker 3: you doing?

1179
00:49:29,400 --> 00:49:29,600
Speaker 1: Man?

1180
00:49:29,719 --> 00:49:32,160
Speaker 3: Like value the possession a little bit more. I think

1181
00:49:32,239 --> 00:49:33,880
Speaker 3: Draymond like, I think this is going to be a

1182
00:49:33,880 --> 00:49:36,400
Speaker 3: really tight series. I think Raymond has to like play

1183
00:49:36,480 --> 00:49:38,680
Speaker 3: above average and knows up a couple of these games

1184
00:49:38,760 --> 00:49:40,520
Speaker 3: to get the win. And he's got to stayut of course,

1185
00:49:40,560 --> 00:49:42,279
Speaker 3: out of foul trouble and not get caught up in

1186
00:49:42,360 --> 00:49:44,879
Speaker 3: all of that. And there is still that looming over

1187
00:49:44,920 --> 00:49:48,680
Speaker 3: everything if it gets really physical. What does he need

1188
00:49:48,680 --> 00:49:51,560
Speaker 3: to flagrant points to that miss a game? I mean

1189
00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:55,120
Speaker 3: it's possible, of course with Draymond Green. So he's got

1190
00:49:55,120 --> 00:49:57,319
Speaker 3: to keep a level head. But when he's at his

1191
00:49:57,400 --> 00:50:00,719
Speaker 3: best set, you know, offensively a mixing, I'm a bit

1192
00:50:00,760 --> 00:50:02,640
Speaker 3: of a threat. Even when you can step into a

1193
00:50:02,680 --> 00:50:04,640
Speaker 3: confident three and splash a couple of those and then

1194
00:50:04,640 --> 00:50:07,440
Speaker 3: the playmaking, they're a different team, I think, just completely

1195
00:50:07,680 --> 00:50:09,279
Speaker 3: when the whole thing is getting out of curragy man.

1196
00:50:09,360 --> 00:50:11,560
Speaker 3: So I'll be watching just what type of Draymond Green

1197
00:50:11,600 --> 00:50:15,040
Speaker 3: we get, especially early in this series. Prediction time though,

1198
00:50:15,600 --> 00:50:17,920
Speaker 3: task you go first on this one. You got Warriors,

1199
00:50:18,040 --> 00:50:18,839
Speaker 3: MAVs and how many.

1200
00:50:19,880 --> 00:50:22,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, the question is are the Golden State Warriors able

1201
00:50:22,480 --> 00:50:24,799
Speaker 1: to just die, you know, flick the switch just a

1202
00:50:24,800 --> 00:50:27,840
Speaker 1: little bit more? Are they? Are they ready to play

1203
00:50:27,920 --> 00:50:30,359
Speaker 1: their best here against the Mavericks, because I think their

1204
00:50:30,360 --> 00:50:33,520
Speaker 1: best will beat the MAVs best. I don't like how

1205
00:50:33,520 --> 00:50:36,560
Speaker 1: the Mavericks are obviously the you know they're they're Ryan

1206
00:50:36,680 --> 00:50:39,319
Speaker 1: high right now. For them, they are the talking point

1207
00:50:39,360 --> 00:50:41,600
Speaker 1: of the NBA right this second. I think that gives

1208
00:50:41,600 --> 00:50:44,759
Speaker 1: the Warriors just a teeny little bit more of a

1209
00:50:44,800 --> 00:50:49,160
Speaker 1: motivation for them and just to to knock them down

1210
00:50:49,239 --> 00:50:51,920
Speaker 1: and notch here a little bit. And you know, the

1211
00:50:51,920 --> 00:50:54,520
Speaker 1: Warriors are the arrested bunch. So I think their best

1212
00:50:54,560 --> 00:50:56,799
Speaker 1: if it comes to fruition, which I think it'll be

1213
00:50:56,920 --> 00:51:00,479
Speaker 1: just a little bit better than the Mavericks best. We'll

1214
00:51:00,480 --> 00:51:02,840
Speaker 1: give them the series. I got him in seven. It's

1215
00:51:02,880 --> 00:51:06,319
Speaker 1: probably the easy way out to make a prediction, but

1216
00:51:06,760 --> 00:51:07,520
Speaker 1: I think they can do it.

1217
00:51:07,560 --> 00:51:10,000
Speaker 3: Warriors and seven. You can all guarantee that the Warriors

1218
00:51:10,040 --> 00:51:12,839
Speaker 3: are going to win one road game in Dallas because

1219
00:51:12,840 --> 00:51:16,440
Speaker 3: they've done it for twenty five Street Series something that

1220
00:51:16,880 --> 00:51:19,840
Speaker 3: the record was. Yeah thing, Oh I thought it was

1221
00:51:19,840 --> 00:51:21,440
Speaker 3: twenty Yeah, but.

1222
00:51:21,400 --> 00:51:22,000
Speaker 4: Where are you going?

1223
00:51:22,040 --> 00:51:24,399
Speaker 3: He's got Warriors and seven? Its going to be that long.

1224
00:51:24,600 --> 00:51:28,360
Speaker 5: I was, you know, yesterday, I was emotional seeing what

1225
00:51:28,400 --> 00:51:29,160
Speaker 5: the Mavericks did.

1226
00:51:29,440 --> 00:51:31,440
Speaker 2: Caught in the moment. I'm still in the moment.

1227
00:51:31,600 --> 00:51:36,040
Speaker 5: I look, honestly, Luca to me has just shown like

1228
00:51:36,280 --> 00:51:38,640
Speaker 5: he's not phased by anything. He's been in big moments.

1229
00:51:38,680 --> 00:51:42,200
Speaker 5: He's already overcome the best team in the NBA this season.

1230
00:51:42,480 --> 00:51:44,280
Speaker 5: I have no reason to think he can't do it again.

1231
00:51:44,680 --> 00:51:46,799
Speaker 5: I think I think this is going to be a

1232
00:51:46,800 --> 00:51:49,200
Speaker 5: great series, and I think Luca could just do it.

1233
00:51:49,280 --> 00:51:51,520
Speaker 5: And so I'm taking the Mavericks. I mean, I have

1234
00:51:51,560 --> 00:51:53,239
Speaker 5: to go in six. I think I just I just

1235
00:51:53,239 --> 00:51:54,680
Speaker 5: think they've got to close it out at home if

1236
00:51:54,680 --> 00:51:56,640
Speaker 5: they can. That's that's where I think they have best

1237
00:51:56,719 --> 00:51:58,839
Speaker 5: chance to finish it. So I'll take the Mavericks in six.

1238
00:51:58,960 --> 00:51:59,960
Speaker 3: Okay, Trey, where are you going?

1239
00:52:00,520 --> 00:52:02,320
Speaker 4: I'm with Lee. I think it's Mavericks and six. I

1240
00:52:02,320 --> 00:52:04,120
Speaker 4: think they'd got the best player. I think it's weird

1241
00:52:04,160 --> 00:52:06,360
Speaker 4: that Steph Curry shot thirty two percent from three in

1242
00:52:06,360 --> 00:52:09,640
Speaker 4: the last series, and I think the Western Conference belongs

1243
00:52:09,680 --> 00:52:12,799
Speaker 4: to Luka Doncic right now. We've talked a lot about

1244
00:52:12,800 --> 00:52:14,799
Speaker 4: the Celtics being the best team in the league. Since

1245
00:52:14,840 --> 00:52:17,200
Speaker 4: it turned twenty twenty two, Mavericks have been number two.

1246
00:52:17,280 --> 00:52:20,560
Speaker 4: They've been playing incredible defense, They've gotten identity since the

1247
00:52:20,560 --> 00:52:24,160
Speaker 4: Porzingis trade, and Doncic is peaking right now. So I'm

1248
00:52:24,200 --> 00:52:26,560
Speaker 4: going MAVs in six as well, and I think the

1249
00:52:26,560 --> 00:52:27,560
Speaker 4: streak comes to an end.

1250
00:52:27,800 --> 00:52:30,000
Speaker 3: Wow, Okay, they're gonna hold.

1251
00:52:29,800 --> 00:52:31,680
Speaker 4: Home corn there and in that court.

1252
00:52:33,239 --> 00:52:36,760
Speaker 3: Was right, Okay, Well, I'm gonna take Warriors in six.

1253
00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:38,920
Speaker 3: You say Luca is the best in the Western Conference,

1254
00:52:38,960 --> 00:52:41,040
Speaker 3: but I say not yet. He needs to take that

1255
00:52:41,480 --> 00:52:44,200
Speaker 3: from Steph Curry. And until he does, I'm gonna roll

1256
00:52:44,200 --> 00:52:46,279
Speaker 3: with him. And I think Trey says the other day

1257
00:52:46,280 --> 00:52:48,480
Speaker 3: it's like, yeah, Curry has struggled. I mean, he still

1258
00:52:48,520 --> 00:52:50,279
Speaker 3: gets all his points since amazing what he puts in

1259
00:52:50,320 --> 00:52:52,680
Speaker 3: the box score, but like he has for Steph Curry

1260
00:52:53,160 --> 00:52:57,359
Speaker 3: not had like a crazy really the Curry Flurry sort

1261
00:52:57,360 --> 00:53:00,040
Speaker 3: of explosion in sort of a half or really a

1262
00:53:00,080 --> 00:53:02,400
Speaker 3: game here, or even a series. And could it come

1263
00:53:02,440 --> 00:53:05,439
Speaker 3: against a very talented, you know, defensive mind in Dallas

1264
00:53:05,440 --> 00:53:07,640
Speaker 3: matters Team whe Jason kids like the sixth defender over

1265
00:53:07,719 --> 00:53:11,160
Speaker 3: there moving around. I think it could. I think he

1266
00:53:11,200 --> 00:53:13,800
Speaker 3: could get unlocked here as the series goes on. So

1267
00:53:13,800 --> 00:53:15,399
Speaker 3: I've got Warriors in six. I think this is gonna

1268
00:53:15,400 --> 00:53:17,360
Speaker 3: be an awesome series. I think both these conference finals

1269
00:53:17,360 --> 00:53:19,880
Speaker 3: are going to be like, really really entertaining. We had

1270
00:53:19,880 --> 00:53:22,960
Speaker 3: a poll going who is the best player left in

1271
00:53:23,000 --> 00:53:27,480
Speaker 3: the postseason. Our four picks were Curry, Luca, Tatum, and

1272
00:53:27,560 --> 00:53:28,280
Speaker 3: Jimmy Butler.

1273
00:53:28,440 --> 00:53:30,080
Speaker 2: Did you make a vote Luca?

1274
00:53:30,280 --> 00:53:30,920
Speaker 1: You went Luca?

1275
00:53:30,920 --> 00:53:33,120
Speaker 3: Okay, that makes sense with where you're going. I assume

1276
00:53:33,200 --> 00:53:37,040
Speaker 3: Trey also was clicking Luca, of course, and where where

1277
00:53:37,040 --> 00:53:37,440
Speaker 3: would you.

1278
00:53:37,400 --> 00:53:37,719
Speaker 1: Go with that?

1279
00:53:39,320 --> 00:53:40,440
Speaker 4: It's tough, it's great.

1280
00:53:41,200 --> 00:53:44,719
Speaker 1: Those are four great players, great players. I'll make my

1281
00:53:44,760 --> 00:53:45,640
Speaker 1: pick after this series.

1282
00:53:45,680 --> 00:53:48,560
Speaker 3: Oh wow, what was the pole results right now?

1283
00:53:48,719 --> 00:53:51,360
Speaker 4: Sixty six percent for lou Luca. Who's second? Who do

1284
00:53:51,400 --> 00:53:54,440
Speaker 4: you think Curry? It's Curry twenty three percent. I actually

1285
00:53:54,440 --> 00:53:56,239
Speaker 4: think Tatum is being slept on a little bit. Yeah

1286
00:53:56,239 --> 00:53:59,520
Speaker 4: he's seven point eight percent, but you can't rank him,

1287
00:53:59,560 --> 00:54:01,799
Speaker 4: you know. Yeah, we got to pick a number one

1288
00:54:01,920 --> 00:54:02,920
Speaker 4: as the dunk.

1289
00:54:03,120 --> 00:54:06,640
Speaker 3: Okay, we're we're all over the board here. You've got

1290
00:54:06,760 --> 00:54:08,759
Speaker 3: Maverickson six. Is that where you ultimately went with as well?

1291
00:54:08,840 --> 00:54:10,880
Speaker 3: Yep so Trey and Lego and Maverickson six. You got

1292
00:54:10,880 --> 00:54:13,759
Speaker 3: Warriors in seven. I got Warriors in six. Let's hear

1293
00:54:14,120 --> 00:54:16,920
Speaker 3: from everybody out there your predictions for the Western Conference Finals,

1294
00:54:16,920 --> 00:54:19,799
Speaker 3: which starts on Wednesday night, and you know, let us

1295
00:54:19,840 --> 00:54:22,040
Speaker 3: know who you think is gonna win, your X factors

1296
00:54:22,200 --> 00:54:24,400
Speaker 3: and other key things to watch in the series. We're

1297
00:54:24,400 --> 00:54:27,040
Speaker 3: gonna take one more break when we come back. Lee's

1298
00:54:27,080 --> 00:54:29,440
Speaker 3: five year old son Oscar has a segment for us,

1299
00:54:29,760 --> 00:54:34,400
Speaker 3: So I can't wait. Okay, So we would usually do

1300
00:54:34,400 --> 00:54:36,640
Speaker 3: two to the night right now, but we're not because

1301
00:54:36,760 --> 00:54:39,000
Speaker 3: we have the NBA Draft Lottery tonight. Yes, and you've

1302
00:54:39,239 --> 00:54:42,080
Speaker 3: you've concocted some sort of thing here for.

1303
00:54:42,080 --> 00:54:43,600
Speaker 2: Us, Yes, I have, Yes, I have.

1304
00:54:43,840 --> 00:54:45,440
Speaker 5: I came up with a bit of an idea yesterday

1305
00:54:45,440 --> 00:54:47,520
Speaker 5: because we usually do something we certainly used to do

1306
00:54:47,560 --> 00:54:49,320
Speaker 5: in the past, where we would pick.

1307
00:54:49,120 --> 00:54:51,960
Speaker 2: The winner, try to predict the try to predict the winner.

1308
00:54:51,960 --> 00:54:53,319
Speaker 2: And I thought, well, why not have some fun?

1309
00:54:53,400 --> 00:54:55,200
Speaker 5: So I came up with a bit of an idea,

1310
00:54:55,280 --> 00:54:57,520
Speaker 5: and as I said, I recruited my sons to help

1311
00:54:57,560 --> 00:54:59,920
Speaker 5: me with this because they like to draw and create.

1312
00:55:00,080 --> 00:55:04,080
Speaker 5: So what I've done is I've went to tankathon dot com,

1313
00:55:04,080 --> 00:55:06,200
Speaker 5: by the way, to get all the lottery odds, and

1314
00:55:06,239 --> 00:55:10,200
Speaker 5: then in these easter eggs here, yeah, here we go.

1315
00:55:10,280 --> 00:55:13,240
Speaker 5: I have got one hundred easter eggs. And again, according

1316
00:55:13,239 --> 00:55:16,239
Speaker 5: to the odds from Tankthon, I've put in for each

1317
00:55:16,280 --> 00:55:19,600
Speaker 5: team the amount of chances they have. So Houston Rockets,

1318
00:55:19,640 --> 00:55:22,080
Speaker 5: for example, have a fourteen percent chance they have fourteen

1319
00:55:22,239 --> 00:55:25,919
Speaker 5: pingpong balls Easter eggs in here, and so do the

1320
00:55:26,120 --> 00:55:28,600
Speaker 5: magic and then it's the pistons and the thunder et cetera,

1321
00:55:28,600 --> 00:55:29,120
Speaker 5: et cetera, et.

1322
00:55:29,040 --> 00:55:29,680
Speaker 2: Cetera goes down.

1323
00:55:29,719 --> 00:55:31,879
Speaker 3: So we've got a hundred eggs here, We've.

1324
00:55:31,760 --> 00:55:32,520
Speaker 2: Got one hundred eggs.

1325
00:55:32,560 --> 00:55:34,719
Speaker 5: Now, I thought, how are we going to decide who's

1326
00:55:34,719 --> 00:55:36,880
Speaker 5: going to decide who's going to pick it out? And

1327
00:55:36,960 --> 00:55:40,600
Speaker 5: I thought, you know what, I'll let you guys decide

1328
00:55:40,640 --> 00:55:44,239
Speaker 5: by by giving you a trivia question. One question wow, right.

1329
00:55:44,680 --> 00:55:47,640
Speaker 5: Whoever answers it correctly first gets to choose the egg.

1330
00:55:48,120 --> 00:55:50,200
Speaker 5: Here's the one little thing, though, you only get one

1331
00:55:50,400 --> 00:55:52,840
Speaker 5: chance to answer, So maybe listen to the clues for

1332
00:55:52,840 --> 00:55:55,640
Speaker 5: as long as you can jump exactly. If you answer

1333
00:55:55,640 --> 00:55:57,480
Speaker 5: and you're wrong, you're out and the other people or

1334
00:55:57,520 --> 00:56:00,000
Speaker 5: person gets all the clues to them.

1335
00:56:00,080 --> 00:56:00,239
Speaker 2: Sell.

1336
00:56:00,320 --> 00:56:03,319
Speaker 3: Okay, did you want to pour the eggs first? Sure,

1337
00:56:03,400 --> 00:56:03,840
Speaker 3: let's do that.

1338
00:56:03,920 --> 00:56:04,360
Speaker 4: Let's do that.

1339
00:56:04,680 --> 00:56:06,920
Speaker 2: The eggs, well, I'll.

1340
00:56:06,760 --> 00:56:11,200
Speaker 3: Pull them in here into the colors in the play.

1341
00:56:11,200 --> 00:56:15,960
Speaker 4: Here are we going to be blind? Keep going?

1342
00:56:17,560 --> 00:56:21,400
Speaker 3: I didn't think this part through, Alice. We shift.

1343
00:56:21,480 --> 00:56:29,160
Speaker 1: Okay, on the table egs, we'll figure that out out

1344
00:56:29,840 --> 00:56:31,360
Speaker 1: those the caves. Don't worry about the.

1345
00:56:32,080 --> 00:56:33,040
Speaker 3: Cow looking egg there.

1346
00:56:33,080 --> 00:56:33,319
Speaker 4: Okay.

1347
00:56:33,360 --> 00:56:34,400
Speaker 2: Now whoever does it?

1348
00:56:34,440 --> 00:56:35,960
Speaker 5: When you do, I don't mind if you dive in,

1349
00:56:36,400 --> 00:56:39,399
Speaker 5: you're sure off the top you choose. Okay, So now

1350
00:56:39,480 --> 00:56:41,759
Speaker 5: it is time to determine who gets the pick, and again,

1351
00:56:41,800 --> 00:56:44,359
Speaker 5: whoever answers the correctly first yours.

1352
00:56:44,400 --> 00:56:46,000
Speaker 3: We're sort of racing to be first.

1353
00:56:46,160 --> 00:56:48,319
Speaker 5: You're racing to be first. But I would advise you

1354
00:56:48,400 --> 00:56:51,040
Speaker 5: to listen to the clues. Okay, Jedd, if you can

1355
00:56:51,160 --> 00:56:56,719
Speaker 5: cueue up the trivia music there, okay. Born outside of

1356
00:56:56,760 --> 00:57:00,160
Speaker 5: the United States, I was selected first overall in my

1357
00:57:00,280 --> 00:57:04,759
Speaker 5: draft class. After a glittering college career, I became a

1358
00:57:04,840 --> 00:57:10,680
Speaker 5: multiple time All Star, incorrect All NBA player, and All

1359
00:57:10,760 --> 00:57:14,200
Speaker 5: Defense player, I was a member of what some call

1360
00:57:14,280 --> 00:57:18,680
Speaker 5: the greatest basketball team of all time. Although I made

1361
00:57:18,720 --> 00:57:21,080
Speaker 5: it two trips to the NBA Finals. Sadly, I never

1362
00:57:21,120 --> 00:57:24,600
Speaker 5: won a championship. I did win a college title out

1363
00:57:24,680 --> 00:57:27,120
Speaker 5: dueling another legend, who I would then face in the

1364
00:57:27,240 --> 00:57:35,040
Speaker 5: NBA Finals a decade later. My standing tree, Patrick Ewing correct.

1365
00:57:34,240 --> 00:57:35,760
Speaker 1: Pat the answer.

1366
00:57:36,520 --> 00:57:38,480
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, I thought someone's going to jump in with

1367
00:57:38,480 --> 00:57:40,560
Speaker 2: an Andrew Bogan or a Ben Simmons or a Kiri.

1368
00:57:40,600 --> 00:57:43,520
Speaker 4: When I said thinking Tim Duncan, I was thinking Duncan.

1369
00:57:43,800 --> 00:57:47,680
Speaker 2: Yeah. Nice, So well done, Trey. So now it's up

1370
00:57:47,720 --> 00:57:50,520
Speaker 2: to you completely how you choose to do you want

1371
00:57:50,520 --> 00:57:53,800
Speaker 2: to dive in? You the right one? Well, I've got

1372
00:57:53,840 --> 00:57:55,960
Speaker 2: one that I hope we pull out. That I'll just

1373
00:57:55,960 --> 00:57:57,120
Speaker 2: have to wait and see because.

1374
00:57:56,880 --> 00:58:00,120
Speaker 5: It because all the artwork, again was done by my

1375
00:58:00,200 --> 00:58:03,400
Speaker 5: ten and five year olds, So they drew every single team.

1376
00:58:03,640 --> 00:58:04,840
Speaker 3: What a hundred times?

1377
00:58:04,880 --> 00:58:05,640
Speaker 2: A hundred times?

1378
00:58:05,720 --> 00:58:09,320
Speaker 4: Yes, I wonder you're handed off this. I hope we

1379
00:58:09,360 --> 00:58:11,680
Speaker 4: get one yours. Though there's some of your No, no,

1380
00:58:11,760 --> 00:58:12,400
Speaker 4: there's none of mine.

1381
00:58:12,720 --> 00:58:15,280
Speaker 5: All Sebastian and Oscar. Now, now look some of them

1382
00:58:15,480 --> 00:58:19,320
Speaker 5: are a little abstract. So in those cases, in those instances.

1383
00:58:19,760 --> 00:58:21,880
Speaker 5: What I did was I actually put the excuse me,

1384
00:58:21,960 --> 00:58:24,600
Speaker 5: I put the the label of the team on the back,

1385
00:58:24,640 --> 00:58:26,960
Speaker 5: so we would know for sure, you don't have to

1386
00:58:26,960 --> 00:58:28,600
Speaker 5: get go.

1387
00:58:28,600 --> 00:58:31,080
