Speaker 1: Welcome back to The Draymond Green Show. We are recording
Speaker 1: this Thursday morning. I've had a little time to think
Speaker 1: about everything that happened, as well as the other game
Speaker 1: two's so let's well before we get into that. I
Speaker 1: know we've discussed on this podcast before about Hazel saying
Speaker 1: don't have a hat on and have my haircut. So
Speaker 1: I want to explain to you my last thirty six
Speaker 1: or forty eight hours and why I haven't had hard
Speaker 1: So yesterday we got back at four thirty in the morning. Um,
Speaker 1: my daughter needed to go to school, but the rest
Speaker 1: of my morning was filled with going to see plastic
Speaker 1: surgeon to get more stitches in the side of my eye,
Speaker 1: and I could not get a haircut because I also
Speaker 1: um while seeing a plastic surgeon that I also had
Speaker 1: to see an ophthalmologist and get the inside of my
Speaker 1: eyeball check for bleeding and all of these other things.
Speaker 1: So you can imagine how my yesterday was so Brownie
Speaker 1: Blends couldnot come touch up the hair, So that's rough.
Speaker 1: And the hat helps. My eye looks a little smaller
Speaker 1: than what it actually is, and so it's like compressing
Speaker 1: down and it's not giving you the full picture of
Speaker 1: how bad I look, although I look terrible right here.
Speaker 1: Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying by any stretch
Speaker 1: of the imagination, I actually look okay here, but it's
Speaker 1: a little worse without the hat. So bear with me
Speaker 1: this episode. I hope you all understand why I have
Speaker 1: this ad on why everything is kind of looking a
Speaker 1: little ah, But that's that. That's my appearance. This is
Speaker 1: You're not really here to see my pretty face, are you. No.
Speaker 1: I think you're here to talk and let's talk about
Speaker 1: some games, and let's talk about the world of basketball.
Speaker 1: So let's get into it. The Warriors lose game to
Speaker 1: one oh six to one on one. Let's let's dive
Speaker 1: into that one. John Morant was absolutely incredible. What you'd expect.
Speaker 1: You know, I've spoken about joy Um for a couple
Speaker 1: of years now and the type of player that I
Speaker 1: think he's become. And so when you're when you speak
Speaker 1: of going into an opponent's arena ahead one oh um,
Speaker 1: with the possibility of going up to or handed back home,
Speaker 1: you expect everything you you you expect desperation, which is
Speaker 1: what they played with, which explains the Dillon Brooks filed
Speaker 1: to me, and we'll talk about more, but more importantly
Speaker 1: than the dialon Brooks file. What it explains is John
Speaker 1: morn and the passion and tenacity and the ferociousness and
Speaker 1: aggressiveness that he played Game two with and he ended
Speaker 1: up with forty eight and eight. Now, the reason I
Speaker 1: say that is because, like I said, i've I've even
Speaker 1: with the M I P conversation. As you can see,
Speaker 1: Lebron tweeted the other day like, and this is why
Speaker 1: John Morenne is way too special to even being an
Speaker 1: M I P situation, Because guess what John Morant would
Speaker 1: be in a situation like that last year and possibly
Speaker 1: give you that give you that same game. And so
Speaker 1: that was kind of the whole thing about the M
Speaker 1: I P conversation. But like I said, when when when? What?
Speaker 1: What explains John Moran's game to me better than anything,
Speaker 1: it is the desperation that he played with the desperation
Speaker 1: to not allow my team to go down. Oh the
Speaker 1: two headed out on the road. And so what did
Speaker 1: he do? He did everything. He made threes, he got
Speaker 1: to the basket, he had fifteen straight points in the
Speaker 1: fourth quarter. He did everything that they needed him to
Speaker 1: do to win the game. Now and saying that and
Speaker 1: with him doing everything us to go to State Warriors,
Speaker 1: I'm looking at this like he did do everything. He did,
Speaker 1: make every play, a couple of bounces here, and there
Speaker 1: are a couple of files on myself that I have
Speaker 1: to be better with down the stretch. And there's a
Speaker 1: one oh two to one oh one game with with
Speaker 1: still an opportunity to win the game. So I feel
Speaker 1: very good about that as an opponent, knowing that there
Speaker 1: are some things that we can clean up, one being turnovers.
Speaker 1: We had nearly twenty turnovers, which you turn the ball
Speaker 1: over that many times against any team, you put yourself
Speaker 1: in a dangerous situation, you turn that ball over that
Speaker 1: many times. Against a young Memphis Grizzlies, probably the most
Speaker 1: athletic team in the playoffs, still playing, you're really with
Speaker 1: with one of the most athletic point guards to ever play,
Speaker 1: You're really going to be in trouble. And so when
Speaker 1: I look at that, I say, man, in spite of
Speaker 1: having nearly twenty turnovers, in spite of all the things
Speaker 1: that transpired in the beginning of the game, in spite
Speaker 1: of John Moran having forty seven, eight and eight, we
Speaker 1: still had it under one minute, one possession game, We
Speaker 1: come up with a rebound, we go down the score
Speaker 1: and maybe everything we're talking to everything, there's a totally
Speaker 1: different tune. Now, Uh, this series is in a totally
Speaker 1: different place. But in saying that, the series is one
Speaker 1: of one headed back home. When you go on the road,
Speaker 1: I've said this before. You want to go win one game,
Speaker 1: you want to take home court advantage. Did we try
Speaker 1: to get greedy, Yes, we felt, but we did what
Speaker 1: we had to do and let's go out and win
Speaker 1: one game. And so the position we're in is pretty good.
Speaker 1: You know coming back home, Um, John Moran, some of
Speaker 1: the finishes that he had in that game, I saw
Speaker 1: some of the comparisons to Eric Jordan's. I mean it
Speaker 1: was absolutely incredible. To one where I came help side
Speaker 1: and jumped and went vertical and he did whatever he
Speaker 1: did in the air and went underneath. I mean, that
Speaker 1: was just one of the incredible finishes it was. It
Speaker 1: was absolutely insane. I'm going back looking at that, like, man,
Speaker 1: you gotta do you just gotta take your hat off
Speaker 1: to him. He made some incredible plays. I think for US,
Speaker 1: I think we also had a bunch of shot turnovers,
Speaker 1: which is something we talked about, which are bad shots
Speaker 1: that we take that leads to transition runout US. I
Speaker 1: think we had quite a few of those, and so
Speaker 1: when you look at we nearly had twenty actual turnovers,
Speaker 1: probably twenty shot turnovers. That's absolutely hard to overcome. And
Speaker 1: like I said, yet we're still sitting there with a
Speaker 1: chance to win the game. You know, when you when
Speaker 1: you look at a guy like Zaiah Williamson, you gotta
Speaker 1: take your hat off to the rookie. He hit was
Speaker 1: four for eight from three for fifteen points. Now, they
Speaker 1: were big threes. They weren't like just just a three here,
Speaker 1: three there. He hit timely big threes. And again when
Speaker 1: you're going on the road, Uh, that those are the
Speaker 1: things that you have to take out. Um now, and
Speaker 1: saying that we were seven for thirty eight from three
Speaker 1: a lot of threes that you know, I think we
Speaker 1: make on a on a normal basis. When you look
Speaker 1: at some of our shot turnovers that we had, you
Speaker 1: have to ask yourself. Number one, when you're getting those
Speaker 1: open threes, if you don't get into a rhythm, which
Speaker 1: I don't think we did. If you don't get into
Speaker 1: a rhythm, then once you do get those open threes,
Speaker 1: they're not so open because the rhythm isn't there, And
Speaker 1: so you have to get a Memphis Grizzlies defense credit.
Speaker 1: I think they did a good job of defending, but
Speaker 1: I also think some of that falls on us as well,
Speaker 1: and some things that we can correct. By the way, UM,
Speaker 1: I actually don't have my ring light today either because
Speaker 1: I don't want my face lit up. So I hope
Speaker 1: you all understand that as well. Uh, But I just
Speaker 1: had to say that because I see my video and
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm a little dark. That's intentional, just so
Speaker 1: you know, hiding all of this, but and and moving forward. Um,
Speaker 1: the Dillon Brooks file. When I say, uh that x uh,
Speaker 1: their desperation, explains the Dillon Brooks File, explained John Moran.
Speaker 1: When when I say that, experience the Dillon Brooks file
Speaker 1: to me, you're starting off game to um. I'm not
Speaker 1: one to get off into the old is he dirty?
Speaker 1: Is he not? That's for you to make your own decision.
Speaker 1: I really don't care whether someone wants to classify him
Speaker 1: as dirty, whether you think it was dirty, whether you
Speaker 1: think it's not. The moral that means the reality is
Speaker 1: it happened, like the play happened. Gary Payton is hurt.
Speaker 1: That's my only concern I can really care less about it.
Speaker 1: Is Dillon Brooks dirty? Did Was it intentional? Was it not?
Speaker 1: That's small, that's low hanging fruit. That's that's beside the point.
Speaker 1: Like Gary Payton is hurt. That's my concern. That's where
Speaker 1: it begins, and that's where it is. I don't get
Speaker 1: off into the oh, it's a dirty play. Like after
Speaker 1: the game, I said, yeah, it was a BS play.
Speaker 1: I think it was a BS player. But to get
Speaker 1: off into it is Dillon Bruce the dirty player, and
Speaker 1: that that ain't the lane that I live in. I
Speaker 1: let the talking heads in that lane. I let them
Speaker 1: debate it. I I don't get off into that lane.
Speaker 1: Um what what the lane that I get off into
Speaker 1: is how do I make this right? How do how
Speaker 1: do we what do I have to do in order
Speaker 1: to overcome the loss of Gary Payton? Uh? The second um,
Speaker 1: you know, and and and that's kind of as far
Speaker 1: as it goes. But the desperation, you know, Um, you're
Speaker 1: starting off a game, you're trying to set a tone.
Speaker 1: It was evident to me that they were there to
Speaker 1: set a tone. So you can say, um, was it
Speaker 1: a mistake? Was it not like I said, I don't
Speaker 1: get off into that. You can say, I was the
Speaker 1: elbow a mistake? Or was it not? Like I said,
Speaker 1: I don't get off into that. What was evident to
Speaker 1: me was that they were there to set a tone.
Speaker 1: So whether you did those things on purpose or not,
Speaker 1: maybe yes, the elbow wasn't intentional. Maybe oh man, the
Speaker 1: file wasn't too in intially hurt him. But what was
Speaker 1: intentional was they were coming out to set a tone,
Speaker 1: as you have to do down one oh, on your
Speaker 1: home court going in the game too, you have to
Speaker 1: come out and set a tone. If you look at
Speaker 1: all the press clippings and you know the things that
Speaker 1: they put out, it was we knew they were coming
Speaker 1: out to set a tone. They talked about how we
Speaker 1: had running rebounding battle and they weren't as physical as
Speaker 1: they normally were. So you knew that they were coming
Speaker 1: out to set that tone, just like I knew they
Speaker 1: were coming out to set the tone. So that's why
Speaker 1: to me, whether the things were intentional or not really
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. What was evident was they were coming out
Speaker 1: to set a tone. And as their opponent, you gotta
Speaker 1: take that on the chain. You gotta take that here,
Speaker 1: you gotta you know, you gotta take that how it comes.
Speaker 1: And so for me, it's like, Okay, they came out
Speaker 1: and set the tone that they wanted to set. Give
Speaker 1: them credit. I will give them credit. Like some fans
Speaker 1: may be upset, give them credit. They set the tone
Speaker 1: that they want to set. You knew right away first
Speaker 1: three or four minutes of that game the type of
Speaker 1: game that that was gonna be. Whether you were an opponent,
Speaker 1: whether you're a fan, um, you knew what type of
Speaker 1: game that was gonna be. And so for me, that's
Speaker 1: kind of all that really matters. You know, the ida,
Speaker 1: the elbow, the caraman bleeding. I don't know if people
Speaker 1: saw that on TV, but like right after I went out,
Speaker 1: the cameraman on the baseline then bleeding, and so again
Speaker 1: that was all a part of it. The gym was cracking, now,
Speaker 1: the arena was was cracking. It was a fun and
Speaker 1: arentered playing. Um, I mean it was. It was exciting
Speaker 1: and in game five is gonna be even more cracking.
Speaker 1: But like, it was cracking in there, and it it
Speaker 1: It immediately took on the same vibe that the players
Speaker 1: had on the court that the game kind of was
Speaker 1: taken on. It immediately took on that same vibe. And so,
Speaker 1: like I said, you gotta give them credit. They came out,
Speaker 1: they set the tone that they wanted to set. Let's
Speaker 1: not get off into old man. He did that on purpose.
Speaker 1: He elbowed him on they they said they were coming
Speaker 1: out of set tone. As a very young team. They
Speaker 1: set the tone they wanted to set. Now it's on
Speaker 1: us to respond. It's on us to reach that level
Speaker 1: of physicality and exceeded. That's what you have to do.
Speaker 1: That's a playoff series. Playoffs get physical like that, playoffs
Speaker 1: get chippy. So I've been in enough of these series
Speaker 1: to know that's all a part of it. I don't
Speaker 1: get caught up in it. And moving forward, let's talk
Speaker 1: about the way I was booed on my way out.
Speaker 1: You probably seeing my press conference by now, where I said, listen,
Speaker 1: they booed me. Um. I think it's very distasteful to
Speaker 1: boo anyone after after they have an injury. I saw
Speaker 1: some of that, or we saw some of that when
Speaker 1: Kevin Durant tours Achilles in Toronto, UM and fans cheered
Speaker 1: when he went down. I think that's one of the
Speaker 1: most distasteful things that that takes can take place in sports. Why,
Speaker 1: as I spoke about before, when you leave the basketball court,
Speaker 1: any injury that used to staying on the basketball court,
Speaker 1: that injury does not go away when you walk off
Speaker 1: that basketball court. It's not like, hey man, I go
Speaker 1: on the basketball court and anything that happens to me there.
Speaker 1: Once I walk off that court, I'm fine. You know,
Speaker 1: if I get an elbow to the eye and my
Speaker 1: eyes swallen on the court when I leave that court.
Speaker 1: It doesn't stay there like you live those things every
Speaker 1: single day of your life. And so, um, when when
Speaker 1: Toronto fans blew Kevin Durant or cheer Kevin Durant, cheer
Speaker 1: when he injures himself, that's so distasteful that a effects
Speaker 1: how he feeds his family, be he has to now
Speaker 1: rehab that for a year, he has to do go on,
Speaker 1: they're a knife, which is life threatening. Um, you have
Speaker 1: to do all of these things. You don't just leave
Speaker 1: that injury on the court. And so it's so distasteful because, um,
Speaker 1: contrary to popular belief, we are actually human beings and
Speaker 1: you actually feel that pain when you leave that basketball court,
Speaker 1: and when you leave that gym, you actually can't go
Speaker 1: home and possibly play with your kids, or you know,
Speaker 1: you can't go on and you know, do the necessary
Speaker 1: things or or all about your normal life like you
Speaker 1: normally do. And so it's such a distasteful thing because
Speaker 1: you're a fan of a basketball game or basketball team,
Speaker 1: being a fan of a basketball team, but understand that
Speaker 1: there are actually human beings that you're watching, and sometimes
Speaker 1: it's you need to learn how to step outside of
Speaker 1: Oh man, I'm cheering for this team, and this happened
Speaker 1: and that helps my team. No, no, no, Because if
Speaker 1: somebody come in your job and slap you in the
Speaker 1: face or kick you in the face, or elbow you
Speaker 1: in the face or harm you in any way, and
Speaker 1: other people they are laughed at you, you feel away. Now,
Speaker 1: when I say feel away, it's not that it's not
Speaker 1: that my feelings are hurt per se. Because again I
Speaker 1: did what I wanted to do, and like I said,
Speaker 1: it felt very good to do as I did. And
Speaker 1: I mean it may have felt too good. I must
Speaker 1: be honest with you. I enjoyed every moment of that
Speaker 1: every second of that moment, I enjoyed it. So don't
Speaker 1: feel bad for me. I got off what I wanted
Speaker 1: to get off, and like I said, it was worth
Speaker 1: every penny. See what you don't understand is you when
Speaker 1: you get ejected from games, you get a fine. I
Speaker 1: didn't get my money's worth on that fine. But I
Speaker 1: got my money's worth on whatever fine it's coming my way.
Speaker 1: You know. Immediately in that moment, I said, all right,
Speaker 1: I mean they're about to flip them off from not
Speaker 1: And there's there's been this, there's been this, this um,
Speaker 1: this clip coming to my Instagram and come into my
Speaker 1: Twitter of of myself and Maverick Carter. Um. This was
Speaker 1: in the very early early days. If I'm not mistaken,
Speaker 1: it was the very first episode of of spring Hill
Speaker 1: Slash Uninterrupted, hosted by Maverick Carter's show Chasing Dough Kneading Dough.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry kneading Dough. And when I did that, Hey,
Speaker 1: it was probably six or seven years ago. But be
Speaker 1: twenty tho dollars is still two dollars. What I'm telling
Speaker 1: you is I justified in my mind that it was
Speaker 1: worth whatever price that I was gonna pay at that
Speaker 1: point twenty thousand dollars and still twenty thousand dollars, which
Speaker 1: is why you also see I said, I'm going to
Speaker 1: go doing her parents and make that money up because
Speaker 1: I still want my twenty thirty forty. I don't know
Speaker 1: if I'll get fine. I think Kyrie Irving may have
Speaker 1: gotten fined fifty thou dollars. There were multiple There were
Speaker 1: multiple instances there. I had one, so I don't know
Speaker 1: if I'll get fined that. But again, this is me
Speaker 1: you're talking about, so I probably will. Maybe it will
Speaker 1: see that, But the moral of that story is I
Speaker 1: got my money's worth. And so when you're sending me
Speaker 1: the clip that says all, when it says me saying
Speaker 1: twenty dollars is still twenty dollars, No, that's a fact.
Speaker 1: Twenty dollars is still twenty tho dollars. But in that moment,
Speaker 1: I was totally fine and I'm still totally fine with
Speaker 1: whatever dollar mine I have to pay because it brought
Speaker 1: me great joy to give them, the fans and Memphis
Speaker 1: exactly what they deserve. That you're going to cheer or
Speaker 1: boo or something with someone and gets hurts, it's just
Speaker 1: as tasteful and there's no place in sports for that.
Speaker 1: There's no place in sports for So they are who
Speaker 1: they are. Maybe they'll do it again, um and in
Speaker 1: that moment, I'll decide what I'm gonna do. But in
Speaker 1: that very moment that happened, I made that decision. I
Speaker 1: live with that, I stand on that. We move forward.
Speaker 1: It is what it is. The booze will be louder
Speaker 1: in Game five kudos. Let's get it before we go
Speaker 1: to the next series. We have our first ever mid
Speaker 1: pod breaking news. What Adrian Wildrin Raski says that Dylan
Speaker 1: Brooks is going to be suspended for the next game.
Speaker 1: Your thoughts, Dylan Bruce is going to be suspending next game? Wow,
Speaker 1: that just happened right away. Um, breaking news. That is interesting.
Speaker 1: You get my live reaction. Um. I mean again, what's
Speaker 1: the debate if he should have been suspended two games
Speaker 1: with blah blah blah. I think it's legit it. Um.
Speaker 1: You know, you get thrown out for a flagrant too.
Speaker 1: And as I've said clearly, intent doesn't matter anymore. I'm
Speaker 1: whether he was intention or not, it doesn't really matter
Speaker 1: to me. But the reality is Gary Payton a second
Speaker 1: is out for an extended period of time. It was
Speaker 1: a nasty fall defensive player. I get it. He's suspended
Speaker 1: for one extra game. Kudos to them. Doesn't change our
Speaker 1: method of attack. We still got to do the same thing. Um.
Speaker 1: You know, we'll see how the fans feel about it.
Speaker 1: Do they think it was enough? Wasn't not enough? I
Speaker 1: respect the accountability, uh from the NBA. You gotta hold
Speaker 1: guy's accountable. I've been held accountaball. I always respect the accountability.
Speaker 1: So we'll see. I mean, you know, he's he's ejective
Speaker 1: for the next game. Still a tough game for us.
Speaker 1: As you can see, he was ejected pretty much the
Speaker 1: whole game. Last game we lost, so uh low hanging
Speaker 1: fruit for me. Yesterday, there's a lot of news in
Speaker 1: sports talk world, in the sports talk world, UM, but
Speaker 1: in particular J. J. Reddick sending the clown back to
Speaker 1: the circus um number one. I'm not sure where this dog, this,
Speaker 1: this um bad dog guy really came from. Um. I've
Speaker 1: i've I really noticed him, maybe over the course of
Speaker 1: the last couple of months, um going up and just
Speaker 1: screaming to the top of his lungs when he's sitting
Speaker 1: next to stephen A. Yesterday. Uh, he goes on TV
Speaker 1: and he says, America is tired of Draymond Green. I'm
Speaker 1: not sure what gives him the right to speak for America,
Speaker 1: what he's he's done in his life for her, you know.
Speaker 1: I mean, he sits in on stephen a show and screams.
Speaker 1: So I'm not sure who he's become in sports or
Speaker 1: in media to say how America feels, um and what
Speaker 1: gives him that right? Uh, but we're not shocked that
Speaker 1: he would think that he has the right to speak
Speaker 1: for America. He then proceeds to say, shut up and play.
Speaker 1: I'm not wanting to really pull a race car very often,
Speaker 1: um because I think you know, we all know the
Speaker 1: role that race played in the world that we live in,
Speaker 1: and so I'm not really wanting to pull the race
Speaker 1: car very often. But that definitely had a very racist connotation. Um.
Speaker 1: Just I mean, he a very racist undertone and and
Speaker 1: even even beyond it being having the race his undertone.
Speaker 1: We don't need to go any further than who are you?
Speaker 1: Who are you to say, like, what have you done
Speaker 1: in your life to say America's tired of him? Shut
Speaker 1: up and play, shut up and play. As I said
Speaker 1: on my Instagram capturing the other day, those shut up
Speaker 1: and play shut up in triple days, those are long gone.
Speaker 1: We don't we don't, we don't listen to that anymore.
Speaker 1: We don't want to hear it anymore. It has no
Speaker 1: place here, nor will it be tolerated. I also proceeded
Speaker 1: to say it's time for you to go home and
Speaker 1: sit on your couch and be and thank the Good
Speaker 1: Lord that I didn't want his job. I meant that
Speaker 1: from the bottom of my heart. Before I signed with Turner,
Speaker 1: I was actually offered a spot on first tape. So
Speaker 1: there's your backstory for I don't I don't play games.
Speaker 1: I don't play these reindeer games. When I speak, I
Speaker 1: speak from the heart. When I speak no, it's real,
Speaker 1: it's thoughtful, and and more importantly, it's truthful. When I say, sincerely,
Speaker 1: yours the new media. What I mean by that is
Speaker 1: the landscape of media is about to change. You will
Speaker 1: no longer be allowed to sit there and say what
Speaker 1: you want. You will no longer be allowed to put
Speaker 1: out these false narratives. You will no longer be able
Speaker 1: to allow to not know what you're talking about, and
Speaker 1: we're going to listen to you. Those days are long gone.
Speaker 1: You know why, because we have guys like JJ Reddick,
Speaker 1: who's done it, who speaks it, who knows how to
Speaker 1: to speak on any different topic, who's not afraid to
Speaker 1: shut an idiot up. When I say sincerely, yours the
Speaker 1: new media, you will be held accountable and you will
Speaker 1: have to know what you're talking about. In order to
Speaker 1: speak on these sports, you will have to know what
Speaker 1: you're talking about, and a will in order to to
Speaker 1: speak on this game of basketball. You know why, because
Speaker 1: we're doing it now. We're doing it now and we
Speaker 1: speak it and we can do it so so bad. Dog,
Speaker 1: go thank the good Lord that I didn't want your job.
Speaker 1: You can have that. But just no, you will be
Speaker 1: held accountable. I will be watching you and embarrassing you.
Speaker 1: So make sure when you go up there screaming and
Speaker 1: yelling and talking all of that nonsense out the side
Speaker 1: of your net. Oh now, buddy, you will be held accountable.
Speaker 1: You will believe that I'm holding it. I'm holding everything
Speaker 1: you said accountable. The days of the media holding players
Speaker 1: accountable and you no longer being held accountable over We're
Speaker 1: not living with that no more. Sincerely, yours the new
Speaker 1: me to you. Moving on to other game twols, the
Speaker 1: Celtics and Bucks. Jackson's happy. Everybody clap it up for
Speaker 1: Jackson one time, for the one time. Let's go the
Speaker 1: Celtics come out one oh nine to eighties six. Now,
Speaker 1: if you remember correctly, I said when we were talking
Speaker 1: after game one, if you're both of those teams, you
Speaker 1: leave that game like we didn't do this well, we
Speaker 1: didn't do that well, and we would see who got
Speaker 1: the better well. I said, specifically, Johannice. Won't you know
Speaker 1: if you're the Bucks, you think Johannice won't shooting nine
Speaker 1: for twenty five again. Johannice had a rough shooting night again. Um,
Speaker 1: and that has a lot to do with the Boston
Speaker 1: Celtics defense. I don't know. After two games, you can see, uh,
Speaker 1: the Celtics they are really really really loading up on y'all. Honest,
Speaker 1: They're making it tough. And also, I think the thing
Speaker 1: that most people don't understand about the Celtics and what
Speaker 1: makes their defense so great is they have so much length.
Speaker 1: And so even when Joannice is driving past one guy
Speaker 1: or you know, driving into one guy, you have another
Speaker 1: two guys coming over. There's so much length. I mean,
Speaker 1: they're starting lineup goes six eleven, six ten, six nine,
Speaker 1: six eight or six seven whatever you consider. Jalen Brown,
Speaker 1: and then they started Derek White who's six five, so
Speaker 1: they're starting and Marcus Smart normally starts with six five.
Speaker 1: So they're starting line up. There's so much length, and
Speaker 1: it really makes it hard, especially especially for someone um
Speaker 1: like Janice who really lives in the paint. It really
Speaker 1: really really makes it hard for Jannice and so U
Speaker 1: their defense has done a great job. Now and saying
Speaker 1: that this sire, and before we talk out the series
Speaker 1: moving forward and back to Milwaukee, Jalen Brown came out
Speaker 1: with avengeance. Jalen Brown came out, he said, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: dominate my matchup, and Jayson Tatum then picked up from there. Now,
Speaker 1: the beautiful thing about that is everybody and now I
Speaker 1: spoke about this before everybody was talking about Jaylen Brown
Speaker 1: and Jayson Tatum can't work, blah blah blah. You be
Speaker 1: very careful in getting rid of a number two who
Speaker 1: can come out and start like that and get you
Speaker 1: thirty points. I'm gonna say that again, breaking that up.
Speaker 1: It's good to see those young guys working. But Jalen Brown,
Speaker 1: I mean the way he came out and started that
Speaker 1: game seventeen points in the first quarter, it was beautiful.
Speaker 1: He put his stamp on the game, and Boston rode
Speaker 1: from there. Now, with the series moving back to Milwaukee,
Speaker 1: you have Boston, they've done their job and and getting
Speaker 1: into one one. But now you have Boston going and
Speaker 1: they're feeling good knowing that we can stop your honest
Speaker 1: can't stop him, but we can make him take tougher
Speaker 1: shots and throw off the percentages and and just live
Speaker 1: with the tough Ones. The thing about that is, going
Speaker 1: back to Milwaukee, all of those other guys are gonna
Speaker 1: shoot better. They're gonna shoot better on the road. They're
Speaker 1: gonna play better more like Game one, Grace and Allen
Speaker 1: got it going. Those guys are really gonna shoot better
Speaker 1: at home, which then makes that defense have to extend
Speaker 1: out more and it creates more lanes for Drew and
Speaker 1: for your honest to drive. So that's what I'll keep
Speaker 1: an eye on um going into that game, is how
Speaker 1: the how the other guys shoot the ball, because role players,
Speaker 1: as I've said before, role players play better at home.
Speaker 1: So that's something to watch for. I think that will
Speaker 1: help unlock your honest, But that is definitely something to
Speaker 1: wash for. The Miami heat goes up too. Oh on Philly,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna spend much time here. If Joel comes back,
Speaker 1: we'll talk about this series. Joel, don't come back. That
Speaker 1: one's over the Phoenix Suns versus the Dallas Mavericks. I
Speaker 1: do want to talk about this one because the Phoenix Suns,
Speaker 1: what they showed last night was and I was watching
Speaker 1: that game in the first half and I'm like, man,
Speaker 1: it's only a four point game, two point game. Dallas
Speaker 1: was playing pretty good. Phoenix weren't playing good. CP nor
Speaker 1: book had got it going yet, and the game was
Speaker 1: right there. I knew they were in trouble, and so
Speaker 1: the Phoenix Suns showed why they are the number one
Speaker 1: see they I mean Chris Paul. One thing that Dallas
Speaker 1: has to understand is if you're in a position where
Speaker 1: you don't have deep book going, Chris Paul is He's
Speaker 1: about to be thirty seven years old. He's a great
Speaker 1: player still, but as you get older, you just can't
Speaker 1: do that all the time the whole game. And what
Speaker 1: what Dallas has to realize is when they have Chris
Speaker 1: Paul teams, when they have Devin Booker under wraps, they
Speaker 1: have to take advantage of those leads. They have to
Speaker 1: take advantage of those times and build the lead up.
Speaker 1: You can't just sit around four but because at some
Speaker 1: point Devin Booker is gonna make shots as he did,
Speaker 1: and at some point Chris Paul is going to take
Speaker 1: over the game. We know that that's who Chris Paul is.
Speaker 1: He's always been that way, but even more so now
Speaker 1: that he has to preserve energy more just that's just
Speaker 1: how it goes as you get older. It was absolutely
Speaker 1: beautiful to wash the way he took over that game.
Speaker 1: He's calling Luca into every switch. Now people may say,
Speaker 1: oh man, they're calling Luca and every switch, and that's
Speaker 1: important because they're scoring. You know why. That's also important
Speaker 1: because it's not allowing Luca to rest on that end,
Speaker 1: and he carries such a heavy load on the offensive
Speaker 1: end and a heavy burden that the energy that that
Speaker 1: requires is through the roof. Well for Luca now having
Speaker 1: to defend that as well. I mean, that's that's a
Speaker 1: very very, very tough one and it's taking those legs away.
Speaker 1: So that's something to watch. As we saw Jason Kidd say,
Speaker 1: other guys gotta step up. It can't just be Luca
Speaker 1: a Gettin thirty. You can't do that in the playoffs.
Speaker 1: But they're going home and the other guys will shoot
Speaker 1: better at home. Luca will get them shots. And so
Speaker 1: that's what I'll be on the watch out four, just
Speaker 1: putting Luke in the action, draining his legs. And as
Speaker 1: you see, by the third quarter he had two points.
Speaker 1: That's hard to sustain that over the course of forty
Speaker 1: eight minutes. So um, I actually think Dallas will go
Speaker 1: home and they'll play better, But the Suns are controlling
Speaker 1: that series right now. They will end up winning by twenty.
Speaker 1: Last night, I wouldn't say it was necessarily a twenty
Speaker 1: point game, but they won by twenty. You Dallas has
Speaker 1: to make some adjustments and they have to find a
Speaker 1: way to get those guys involved early, in particular Jalen Brusson.
Speaker 1: Jalen Brusson is gonna need to play better. They're gonna
Speaker 1: need that second guy if they're gonna have a chance
Speaker 1: to be the great defense like the Phoenix Suns. That's
Speaker 1: gonna be a rat for this episode of The Draymond
Speaker 1: Green Show. We would be back next week. We have
Speaker 1: some interesting news, a few things that may go your way,
Speaker 1: but you will need to tune into the pot next week.
