Speaker 1: Excuse me the series at one one. Rudy Gobert. I
Speaker 1: thought this was the first time that I've actually seen
Speaker 1: someone actually bother Nicola Jokic. Rudy Gobert bothered tonight, Joe
Speaker 1: and this was one of the reasons that they won.
Speaker 1: And Rudy, a last couple of games, you only had
Speaker 1: two points, but your presence were greatly greatly felt.
Speaker 2: Ant man was that man jew Randal did with Jude Randal?
Speaker 2: Does I mean?
Speaker 1: They just got an all around team effort tonight And
Speaker 1: that was the difference in the ball game is they
Speaker 1: go in and get a one nineteen, one to fourteen
Speaker 1: victory over the Denver Nuggets, and now, Joe said, the
Speaker 1: series doesn't start to the roll team wins a game
Speaker 1: on the opposing team's court, and both road teams two
Speaker 1: of the three road teams tonight won on the opposing
Speaker 1: team hit home court. Joe, how to Minnesota do it?
Speaker 1: They were down by nineteen in the second quarter, and
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you look up and they're tired
Speaker 1: at half.
Speaker 3: Heymen, he there may no dogs over there, Ojoe. They
Speaker 3: got some young wolves over there. You and me, ay, amen.
Speaker 3: The resiliency that they showed in that first half to
Speaker 3: get down by what eighteen nineteen points and then come
Speaker 3: back and fight back and take the league and from there,
Speaker 3: you know, pretty much manage the game throughout. I want
Speaker 3: to give a huge shot out to Rudy go Barr
Speaker 3: and the challenge that he took making Yokis take them
Speaker 3: tough shots.
Speaker 2: That's what it's about.
Speaker 3: Not only that, but you see what Minnesota game plan is, Yokis,
Speaker 3: You ain't gonna let your ass rest on defense. Now
Speaker 3: we're gonna seek you out in this picking roll. We're
Speaker 3: gonna go at you every time. You're gonna have to
Speaker 3: guard and you're gonna have to score, assist. They making
Speaker 3: him work. Man, Hey, them boys look good tonight.
Speaker 2: Man. I thought what it did?
Speaker 1: I thought in the first in the first half, guys, yo,
Speaker 1: just watching him. He was really trying to get everybody involved. Joe,
Speaker 1: he really wasn't doing anything. And then all of a
Speaker 1: sudden he didn't shoot.
Speaker 3: He didn't take his first shot to about three minutes
Speaker 3: in the first quarter.
Speaker 1: And then you go, look at Rudy getson foul trouble
Speaker 1: in the third quarter and they bring nads read in
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden he started honting. I think
Speaker 1: he scored sixteen seventeen points in the third quarter because
Speaker 1: he started hunting. No, He's like, oh no, no, no,
Speaker 1: you got no chance. You ain't got enough bricks in
Speaker 1: your back pocket. Even though Rudy might not have bricks
Speaker 1: in his back pocket, he has length that could disturb me,
Speaker 1: that can bother me. You see the night eight of
Speaker 1: twenty one of seven from the three you can live
Speaker 1: with that, You can live with that in your hand.
Speaker 1: He only had eight assists. So if I'm gonna make
Speaker 1: you a subfision, and I'm not gonna allow to have
Speaker 1: double digits that meet. Other guys are getting clean easy looks. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I can live with that. I just got one question,
Speaker 1: Joe Ojo. Yeah, I'm trying to figure out what Jamal
Speaker 1: and Murray was thinking. They're down three, he gets to
Speaker 1: pick from Yokic and have a shot at a clean three.
Speaker 1: He passes it up to walk inside and take her two.
Speaker 1: He had to be confused and thought they were down
Speaker 1: by two. There is no other way to explain what
Speaker 1: he did. Yeah, I think he was. I don't know
Speaker 1: what he was thinking on that play, honestly, but man,
Speaker 1: he looked. He looked great in that first quarter, obviously
Speaker 1: shooting eleven for twenty five.
Speaker 3: If I'm Minnesota, I'm gonna live with that. As you
Speaker 3: know what I mean, we making all of them, were
Speaker 3: making them dudes work man, We limiting everybody else. Hardaway
Speaker 3: came off the bench and gave you great production. But
Speaker 3: for the most part, man, you just got to handle
Speaker 3: them two monsters. And if you can collectively have guys
Speaker 3: from the Minnesota Timberwolds step up. Nast reed. I like
Speaker 3: the Desimo kid from UH from the Bulls. I love
Speaker 3: the energy that he played with. You know what, Hollywood,
Speaker 3: good tonight bones Hollow was big because he was the key.
Speaker 1: He and the uh they were the key in the
Speaker 1: second quarter to getting them back in the ball game.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, life.
Speaker 4: I mean shit tonight game. Goddamn Wood the Blue Wolves.
Speaker 4: The Wolves played really good.
Speaker 2: Unk.
Speaker 4: They were down, they were down back hell a whole,
Speaker 4: a whole heave of a lot. You know, in the
Speaker 4: first half, I thought it was gonna be one of
Speaker 4: those game, Jo, I'm gonna just be honest with YOUHNK.
Speaker 4: I thought I was gonna have to turn it off.
Speaker 4: And then, you know, in the second quarter, I thought
Speaker 4: it was it was gonna be a blowout. Not only
Speaker 4: were they losing by seventeen eighteen at one point, Yogis
Speaker 4: wasn't even doing nothing. He wasn't eve involved. He was
Speaker 4: just facilitating. He hadn't even inserted himself into the ball
Speaker 4: game yet. Hell I get up, I go to God
Speaker 4: damn waffa house. I come back. But hey, Joe, the
Speaker 4: game tied up. The game is tied up. Let's talk
Speaker 4: about you know the word you use for resiliency. I can't
Speaker 4: even spell it, but I know how to say it.
Speaker 4: And that's what the Bulls working night. Goddamn ant Man
Speaker 4: is gonna always be ant man. The Vincenzo Well, he
Speaker 4: came to play ball. Goddamn Judis Randall came to play ball. Listen,
Speaker 4: Rudy Gobert didn't did nothing on offense, but defensively, using
Speaker 4: that length to to dishrupt everything that got Joka wanted
Speaker 4: to do was phenomenal. Now we can get him to
Speaker 4: play like this every goddamn night. You know, maybe now
Speaker 4: on the defense end. Going on the defense end always
Speaker 4: make a thing difficult for Yo Kics. I think they
Speaker 4: got a good chance, maybe not to win the series,
Speaker 4: but to take them young Bulls the goddamn seven.
Speaker 3: And you don't think Minnesota got a chance to win, Yeah.
Speaker 4: The series, Joe hold On, I understand what you're talking about. Now.
Speaker 4: One of the missing pieces to night for the guy
Speaker 4: damn nuggets. Now, Aaron Gordon, we need something from you
Speaker 4: that baby, Aaron, Aaron Gordon, we need, we need more
Speaker 4: from you outside of nine goddamn points nine.
Speaker 3: Hey, hey, I seen I seen a lot of warves
Speaker 3: to night.
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm talking.
Speaker 3: About dudes that were just relentless it was like almost
Speaker 3: on some on some real debo backyard basketball type.
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying, Like for real, Joe. You know,
Speaker 2: like I.
Speaker 3: Always tell y'all, you know, in the playoffs, Bro, we
Speaker 3: already know your plays. Now, we just got to master
Speaker 3: this energy that y'all got. Oh, you know, playing in Denver,
Speaker 3: it's tough. It's up there, the hands on knees. What
Speaker 3: I'm talking first quarter, first quarter, you be gassing for air.
Speaker 3: So I know, I know, I know what it takes
Speaker 3: to go in that building and win, Bro, and man.
Speaker 3: Denver a tough team. But the timber Wolves, this is
Speaker 3: what I'm talking about. When you had the other guys
Speaker 3: step up, when your bench play like that Hiland or something,
Speaker 3: move and read, all those guys chip in with ten, eleven,
Speaker 3: twelve point and you got your big gun man leading away.
Speaker 2: Minnisola gonna be tough to be Bro.
Speaker 1: If I can make, if I can make Jamal Murray
Speaker 1: and Yo Kic Shooter combined nineteen or forty five, yes,
Speaker 1: I can live with that. I know they had fifty
Speaker 1: eight points, but it was the inefficiency in which they
Speaker 1: shot the basketball.
Speaker 2: I live with that.
Speaker 1: Yo's gonna have if Yogi's gonna give you twenty four
Speaker 1: points on twenty shots, I live with that. If Jaman
Speaker 1: Burry's gonna give you twenty five, gonna give you thirty
Speaker 1: points on twenty five shots, I'll live with that. But
Speaker 1: I can't have Yokid giving you twenty four or eleven shots.
Speaker 1: I can't have Jamal Murray going to the free throw
Speaker 1: line and shooting seventeen eighteen free throws.
Speaker 2: So they did a great job. Remember Joe, he shot sixteen.
Speaker 1: Well, with sixteen to sixteen, he was two or two
Speaker 1: for the Yeah, So Finch like, hey man, if we
Speaker 1: keep his ass off the line, if he makes tough shots,
Speaker 1: we gotta live with that.
Speaker 2: Gotta live with that.
Speaker 1: Got too, got too he hit, I mean, think about it.
Speaker 1: He had two and one threes in the first quarter.
Speaker 1: They had three and one thres in the first quarter,
Speaker 1: and they were stood there. Valentouna's if you notice, Valentini's
Speaker 1: didn't play anymore after that bull drive.
Speaker 2: He pulled it in the second quarter and it cost
Speaker 2: him the game.
Speaker 1: Late in the ball game because when yok was on
Speaker 1: the bench, they couldn't get it.
Speaker 2: Off into rebounds.
Speaker 1: They couldn't get any rebounds so now they keep it
Speaker 1: now the second chance points started to pile up all
Speaker 1: because they had lost confidence in Valentunas because he was
Speaker 1: liket there bull driving around, get picking up dumb files,
Speaker 1: getting technical calls. He would just do it on some
Speaker 1: bull drive and he didn't see the floor again. Hey,
Speaker 1: I'm giving I like Jaydon Daniels.
Speaker 3: Let me tell you why even him and Rudy Gobert
Speaker 3: are very keys uh to Minnesota winning this series. I'm
Speaker 3: gonna tell y'all why because of that length of both
Speaker 3: long and great defenders, and if they can stay disciplined
Speaker 3: like they were disciplining a night Ocho, not going for
Speaker 3: a lot of them pump fakes and all that contesting late,
Speaker 3: making Yoga shoot all them tough shots, hell making, making
Speaker 3: Murray take over twenty five taking twenty five shot some more.
Speaker 2: Bro, you're gonna be to live with that.
Speaker 3: You're gonna make it work because remember now Murray got
Speaker 3: off to that hot speed, yeah twenty three in the
Speaker 3: first half, Joe, Yeah, but in the first quarter here
Speaker 3: he was hottest. He's the first quarter. That's that's why
Speaker 3: Yoga's really was shooting. He's seen how hot he was. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: but I thought, I thought Jay McDaniel's kind of wore
Speaker 3: him down too.
Speaker 2: That's what I'm That's.
Speaker 3: What I'm saying by chasing him, uh, making it tough
Speaker 3: for him picking him up. And that's what you gotta
Speaker 3: expect when it comes late in the games.
Speaker 2: Bro.
Speaker 3: That extended pressure is what's gonna help you prevail if
Speaker 3: you got guys who can play that type of defense.
Speaker 2: For forty eight minutes.
Speaker 1: I thought, I thought Aaron Gordon took for some fourthsome
Speaker 1: shots and threes. I thought Jamal Murray, Uh, the frustration
Speaker 1: and the fatigue started to mount on him, and they
Speaker 1: took some really tough shots.
Speaker 2: That was on called.
Speaker 1: There's no way you taking a double pump clutch a
Speaker 1: three point shot. You can't tell me there's not a
Speaker 1: better shot to be had than what you just did.
Speaker 1: Jamal Burrah ain't nowhere in here, eric I airBaltic. You
Speaker 1: can't tell me there's not a better shot to be
Speaker 1: had if you swing it one more time. Ay, maybe
Speaker 1: swinging and it comes back to you. But I thought, look,
Speaker 1: and it wasn't. Even though you can say okay, yoke
Speaker 1: and Murray didn't play well where there had to be
Speaker 1: a reason. Okay, what was the reason that they didn't
Speaker 1: play well? Minnesota timber Woods. Now you look at Rudy
Speaker 1: and people go like, y'all keep talking about Rudy. The
Speaker 1: man had two points and no blocks and he's a
Speaker 1: four time defensive Player of the Year. But all those
Speaker 1: shots that he altered. You look at Yoki Yo Kis
Speaker 1: felt his presence. All those guys going to the lane,
Speaker 1: they felt his presence. Sometimes it's not about blocking the shot.
Speaker 1: Sometimes it's about making you think, nah, I ain't got
Speaker 1: nothing that let me pull this thing back out. Whereas
Speaker 1: before Jo Kisch was having his way with Rudy Gobert,
Speaker 1: and the better part of his career he's had his way,
Speaker 1: but not tonight.
Speaker 2: Rudy.
Speaker 1: Rudy deserved a gay Joe, you said it. Jude Randall
Speaker 1: played well. He was seven or four team Jay McDaniel's
Speaker 1: seven to fifteen, Dante Ji Vincenzo, that big three that
Speaker 1: he pulled up from like twenty four to twenty.
Speaker 2: Five was huge. He had sixteen big points.
Speaker 1: Ad Man had thirty, nas Reed had eleven, Bones Highland
Speaker 1: at thirteen, But Rudy Gobert those two points.
Speaker 2: What you able to do against Jokic.
Speaker 1: That was the key the difference in the ball game
Speaker 1: because if you let him be efficient.
Speaker 2: He took twenty shots, so.
Speaker 1: If he shoot his normal fifty seven percent, that means
Speaker 1: he's gonna make thirteen or fourteen of those. Joke, So
Speaker 1: now all of a sudden, twenty four, it's gonna be
Speaker 1: thirty two, thirty four. Yeah, fifteen and eight. Now we
Speaker 1: might be having a different discussion, but simbable. If y'all
Speaker 1: dug deep, y'all showed me something that take a quarter.
Speaker 4: Now, now listen, we talk about them digging deep, obviously,
Speaker 4: and you look at the series being tied one one.
Speaker 4: If I'm not seeking, I think both of y'all, if
Speaker 4: I'm not mistaken, correct me if I am wrong. When
Speaker 4: we talked about this series, I could have swore both
Speaker 4: of you picked the Nuggets to win, because I forgot
Speaker 4: that might have been you gonna say, I'm not betting
Speaker 4: a getting joke if if I'm correct me, if I'm wrong,
Speaker 4: I'm not better, I picked the Nuggets.
Speaker 2: Now I don't. I don't think. I mean we have
Speaker 2: to run the tape back.
Speaker 4: Okay, it might have been. I'm just saying after seeing
Speaker 4: the game to night after seeing the way the timber
Speaker 4: Wolves played, does your decision on the goddamn Nuggets winning
Speaker 4: this series? Does a change now based on the way
Speaker 4: the Wolves played?
Speaker 2: What you think?
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 2: For me?
Speaker 1: No, because I don't believe Rudy Gobert can play like
Speaker 1: this three more games?
Speaker 2: Okay, well that's yet to be a scene, I think.
Speaker 3: But but but that is questionable. Can can can Minnesota?
Speaker 3: Can they? Can they carbon copy a game like this?
Speaker 2: Again? You know you got home court advantage? Now?
Speaker 3: So can you throw home? Protect your house at home?
Speaker 3: That's basically all you need to do now? Okay, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: that's what I mean.
Speaker 1: You look, but I think the figures you gotta be
Speaker 1: careful because if you're not careful, you have a let down.
Speaker 1: Say oh we got we did we we did what
Speaker 1: we came to do, which was still a game and
Speaker 1: get home court. And I been damn if you don't
Speaker 1: go home and let your guard down and they take
Speaker 1: it right back. So the thing is now and tells
Speaker 1: what you do? You break serve? Can you consolidate it?
Speaker 1: You break somebody served?
Speaker 3: Now?
Speaker 2: Can you win the next Service game? Now?
Speaker 1: And you put pressure on them now if you let
Speaker 1: them if you can't consolidate it, what have you done?
Speaker 2: You let them take home court right back.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's the thing, that's what you don't want
Speaker 3: to do because you know when you hey, when you're playing.
Speaker 2: On the road, it's just you and your team, as.
Speaker 3: You feel me like, you know, it ain't nobody else
Speaker 3: out there with y'all. It's just y'all. So you know
Speaker 3: you got that you feel me. Ain't nobody really in
Speaker 3: your space?
Speaker 2: You know what you mean?
Speaker 3: You know what I mean, meaning like your family, maybe
Speaker 3: your wife, your girl, your kid, is all that. But man,
Speaker 3: when you get back home, you know, all that's now.
Speaker 2: You know, now.
Speaker 3: You're back picking up kids from school and you're doing
Speaker 3: all this extra stuff.
Speaker 2: I'm keeping it real, bro, And.
Speaker 3: Then you start to let your guard down a little bit.
Speaker 3: And now in game three, like damn, we did all
Speaker 3: that for.
Speaker 1: Now, you let your guard down, Joe, because you know
Speaker 1: why you at home, you're comfortable.
Speaker 2: You done got comfortable. You know what I'm saying. When
Speaker 2: you on the road, that ain't your bed.
Speaker 1: Hey, you get your ass up, you walk downstairs, you
Speaker 1: eat breakfast, you know, you go to shoot a round.
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying. On the road.
Speaker 4: But now you and your whip, you drive.
Speaker 1: It to the stadium, listen to your tombs, You do
Speaker 1: it all the stuff that you don't normally do on
Speaker 1: the road. So you done got comfortable, whereas before you
Speaker 1: weren't comfortable. And so they come in. They flipped the road.
Speaker 1: They're uncomfortable, they're desperate. They know that they ate in
Speaker 1: order because now Minnesota said, all we gotta do is
Speaker 1: just hold serve. We ain't got to win another game
Speaker 1: in Denver. All we got to do is whole serve
Speaker 1: at home and we good. Hey boy, can I can
Speaker 1: see I can see Kevin gar.
Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, Jo Joe, Joe, Joe, you on it. But Joe,
Speaker 4: you know something, don't you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've been trying. I've been trying to.
Speaker 4: Tell you that one thing about it. But Joe, what
Speaker 4: what game?
Speaker 2: It's just a guy?
Speaker 3: What We We got more games to talk about. But this, yes,
Speaker 3: just one game, but we end up the playoffs start.
Speaker 2: Enough team wins.
Speaker 4: When a team wins away, Hello, I'm with you, Joe,
Speaker 4: with you. We got some bad we're playing a Joe.
Speaker 4: Matter of fact, Hey, you you smart, but you know somethingbody,
Speaker 4: this thing it almost acts like you like you played before.
Speaker 3: Huh yeah, hey, hey listen, listen, I don't have my
Speaker 3: fast show with you.
Speaker 2: I kind of I know a little something, you know
Speaker 2: what I mean?
Speaker 4: It looked like it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you and the whole too.
Speaker 4: By the way, I wait, I wait, I wait, go ahead,
Speaker 4: I wait.
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, I just thought. I just thought.
Speaker 1: I mean, I was thinking the same thing everybody was thinking.
Speaker 1: They got out to that great start with it'scored thirty seven,
Speaker 1: thirty nine points in the first quarter, thinking of nineteen
Speaker 1: in the second quarter, and then all of a sudden, Uh,
Speaker 1: you get bones highling, you get the soul mold, you
Speaker 1: get those guys come in and they chip away, and
Speaker 1: before you know it, the nineteen and all of a
Speaker 1: sudden it's eight, and all of a sudden it's four,
Speaker 1: And all of a sudden, you're like, hold on, they
Speaker 1: don't care. Back of them talking to lead Now the
Speaker 1: nuggers got a scrap back the ty thing up to
Speaker 1: going to the alf. Yeah, I'm like, what damn.
Speaker 2: But Valentuna's boy, you pull your pants down tonight. Man.
Speaker 2: That was awful. Think about it. He played three minutes.
Speaker 2: There's a reason why you playing Yoki.
Speaker 1: He's supposed to be come in because he's a big
Speaker 1: that can score if need be, he could. Hey, you
Speaker 1: can set great picks, he can rebind the basketball.
Speaker 2: What was that man at that playing picked them too quick?
Speaker 2: Faith Ay? Three minutes down for.
Speaker 3: Hey, if I'm if I'm a man and Drew Randall, boy,
Speaker 3: I'm thinking I'm thinking the bench, Niles Reed, Bones holand
Speaker 3: to some more, I'm thinking Rudy Gobercaus. Listen, the dudes
Speaker 3: won you that game today. Now you know we're gonna
Speaker 3: need him and man to step up. You go home,
Speaker 3: your big guns gotta fire for you because your role
Speaker 3: players did what they're supposed to do.
Speaker 2: On the road.
Speaker 3: Joe Man, Man, Hey, that was that was huge bro. Hey,
Speaker 3: But but you do. But I do expect the road
Speaker 3: guys to play a little better at home too. I
Speaker 3: know this is a good game for him, but I
Speaker 3: expect one of them to. I expect nas Reed to
Speaker 3: have a twenty point twenty five point game in one
Speaker 3: in one of these in one of these games is seriously.
Speaker 1: Aaron Ojo Aaron going got to give him a little
Speaker 1: bit more. Spencer Jones. Spencer Jones got some good cardio
Speaker 1: in there tonight. Ten minutes, no points, no field goal attempts.
Speaker 1: He did get to rebounds, but he has some nice
Speaker 1: cardio so he don't have to do any conditioning after
Speaker 1: the game. Joe plays nice and loose about hardware. When
Speaker 1: you played well, bro, bro, how you how you go
Speaker 1: perfect from the three point line and you miss.
Speaker 2: Your free throws? Damn free throws.
Speaker 1: They got they got beat on the glass. I mean
Speaker 1: other I mean because you know, normally is giving you
Speaker 1: thirteen to night. He gave you fifteen to night.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, hey, look they can't good good. I mean
Speaker 3: I thought there was a big game from Tim Hardaway.
Speaker 3: They get some pretty good contribution from guys played well. Joe,
Speaker 3: yeah he did, he did play well. He didn't play well.
Speaker 3: But I just believe in in Minnesota bench more than
Speaker 3: I do the Nuggs. Then the Minnesota I'm real, man.
Speaker 3: They got some guys who you can get to. They
Speaker 3: can go get your bucket for real, like them boys
Speaker 3: A listen showed me something, because who are used time for?
Speaker 3: Who you saying? Oh yeah, you know he came from them.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you ain't hit the bulls. When he came in
Speaker 4: in the game.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, he felt like they sliding him on there.
Speaker 3: You know they gonna get his best.
Speaker 4: They let him here a little bit.
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh yeah, no, yeah, but uh, you know he
Speaker 1: wanted to play well. He did hit some big threes,
Speaker 1: four or five.
Speaker 2: From the uh uh from the.
Speaker 1: Field, uh, two or two from the free throw line.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean you look at that bench. They
Speaker 1: gave you thirty three points. The bench gave you thirty
Speaker 1: three points, outscoring them by plus ten. They out rebounded them,
Speaker 1: out assisted them, had more still than they worked on.
Speaker 2: It was just after the first few minutes went for
Speaker 2: the for the Timberwolves. The guys played well.
Speaker 1: And I think the thing is when you when you're
Speaker 1: on the road and you down it's easy. Crowd is
Speaker 1: going crazy. You've all been on the road and the
Speaker 1: home team get off to a great start. They jump
Speaker 1: out on us show. You know, ten nothing, fourteen nothing, Yeah,
Speaker 1: everybody going crazy. But ay, you just he all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, you get to make a play, defense gets
Speaker 1: a turnover, you get a score, and next day you know,
Speaker 1: the defense stops them. You back on the field and
Speaker 1: now we got to talk part of top ball game. Okay,
Speaker 1: let's play once once Minnesota got that thing even Okay,
Speaker 1: now let's play basketball.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they they set it in. Sometimes all you gotta
Speaker 3: do is all you gotta do is relax, take a
Speaker 3: couple of deep breaths, bro. And that's what it seemed
Speaker 3: like happened, because once they made them subs, and them
Speaker 3: subs came in and got to it, they got right
Speaker 3: back in the game, bro, And from that point on,
Speaker 3: it was neck and neck. I mean they took they
Speaker 3: took the lead, you know what I mean, went up
Speaker 3: by like six at one point. I think it was probably,
Speaker 3: but they shocked me. I ain't think they could keep
Speaker 3: the pace off o Jo. When they came back, I said, boy,
Speaker 3: them boy doll tied out there. They steaded bending over,
Speaker 3: grabbing they short. I said, hell, I ain't no way.
Speaker 3: I said, fourth quarter, I said, that's when them we're
Speaker 3: gonna they gonna jump down on them, the boys chopping.
Speaker 1: If I'm if I'm the Nuggets, I'm looking at Aaron Gordon,
Speaker 1: I'm looking at Spencer Jones and Valanchouna like two. Park
Speaker 1: was standing at that locker they over that where they
Speaker 1: close that Luger took down right there, looking at him.
Speaker 2: That's how I'm looking at it.
Speaker 4: In jukes in Jukes.
Speaker 2: Yeah, good boy, that was back.
Speaker 1: Ain't no way you're supposed to lose that team with
Speaker 1: those two guys running the show. You won a championship
Speaker 1: and those guys probably that well, we know Yogi is
Speaker 1: gonna be a Yo Kic Wimby and and and and
Speaker 1: Shade probably gonna be unanimous All first Team, all the
Speaker 1: NBA selection.
Speaker 2: Absolute. Man, you hit the nineteen point lead. You got
Speaker 2: to be able to hold that. Yeah, you gotta be
Speaker 2: able to hold that.
Speaker 3: Hey, it's it's it's a tough matchup for them, for man,
Speaker 3: because of Minnesota's length, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: Like, we talked a lot.
Speaker 3: About Minnesota, how great they are offensively, how good Yoga
Speaker 3: is offensively, but defensively, Hell, he could be a liability
Speaker 3: out there.
Speaker 4: Joe, Hey, they pay Hey Joe, they put a uncle Joe.
Speaker 4: They put Yogic in that goddamn blenda and that guy.
Speaker 4: I mean, I called it picking roll of blendo. And
Speaker 4: you know you putting the big man in the blended
Speaker 4: man having got him turned like a goddamn Merry Go
Speaker 4: round top. She ain't ain't none nigga.
Speaker 3: Do now, Hey, listen, they were seeking him out at
Speaker 3: times they were just I It's like it's like if
Speaker 3: he was going too, I thought it too.
Speaker 1: You gotta go into your bag, you gotta go with him.
Speaker 1: That seemed like what Minnesota's game plan was. It was like, man, look,
Speaker 1: we can't let his ass rest on defense, so he
Speaker 1: gonna play in that. They switched him off ju Randall
Speaker 1: and put him on McDaniel and Aaron Gordon said, Aaron,
Speaker 1: go and you deal with it cause you know, hey,
Speaker 1: you gonna put his head out. He's gonna put that
Speaker 1: cross over on you. He gonna get to that left
Speaker 1: hand and he gonna let it up. Yes, sir, you
Speaker 1: already know what you're gonna do. Hey, I like I
Speaker 1: like Julius Randall energy too. He gotta keep that same energy.
Speaker 2: He can't.
Speaker 3: He can't be out that deferring man. He gotta be
Speaker 3: aggressive when need be. You feel me, you know what
Speaker 3: I mean? And man gonna be a man.
Speaker 2: He gonna do his thing.
Speaker 3: But I think when he has another guy, meaning Drew Randall.
Speaker 3: I like even McDaniels, when he starts to be aggressive
Speaker 3: sometime offense is going and his man, Man, don't let
Speaker 3: none of these dudes rest, bro. Hey, they got a
Speaker 3: nice squad, bro, they can really do something. They do
Speaker 3: and they played, they played, they played well tonight, Joe.
Speaker 1: The Atlanta Hawks left for just three percent of the game,
Speaker 1: but it made it count escape in the one o seven,
Speaker 1: one oh six victory in Game two over the Knicks,
Speaker 1: CJ liked the gag got away but anyway, roll victory
Speaker 1: stunned the fans of CJ.
Speaker 2: McCullum port.
Speaker 1: In thirty two points, he outdued Jalen Brunson the Knicks,
Speaker 1: while even in the series one one, the Knicks had
Speaker 1: been forty and one in the postseason since the advent
Speaker 1: of the shot clock era, which happened in nineteen fifty
Speaker 1: four to fifty five. When leading by twelve more points
Speaker 1: in the third quarter after three quarters, the only loss
Speaker 1: we were the Regi Miller scored twenty five points in
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter in Game five, the famous in the
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety four Eastern Conference Finals. Joe, how are your
Speaker 1: Hawks able to pull it off?
Speaker 2: Luck? Hey?
Speaker 3: Hey, hey, o chow to win you had to win
Speaker 3: in the playoffs some how you need a little I'm
Speaker 3: with you when you're right now? Hey, But but but
Speaker 3: I don't think this was luck I think, uh, you know,
Speaker 3: without Brunston. I know he kind of you know, he
Speaker 3: kind of he kind of had it going early. But
Speaker 3: for the most part, man, we kept everybody at bait.
Speaker 3: It wasn't like, you know, I know, they got up
Speaker 3: on this a little bit before. The most part. When
Speaker 3: we came back in the second half, it's like everybody
Speaker 3: started to get a little tight, you know, coming down
Speaker 3: the stretch, and I just felt the Hawks just kind
Speaker 3: of stuck with it. We kept getting turnover. It's big
Speaker 3: plays at the big plays, big threes, and I just
Speaker 3: wanted to stay close. Within the last five or six minutes, man,
Speaker 3: I'm telling you, I think CJ just was a hell
Speaker 3: of a pickup Uncle Ojo. When y'all watch him out thy,
Speaker 3: y'all see the poison patience that he plays with. He's
Speaker 3: under control. The boy got a real bop on him.
Speaker 3: He almost made Brunston touched earth one time. He hit
Speaker 3: that ball with that him. He you feel me, Hey,
Speaker 3: a CJ in a great spot, bro, because these young
Speaker 3: dudes they looking for him to leave. And although we
Speaker 3: got a superstar Jalen Johnson, he's still learning.
Speaker 4: On the fly.
Speaker 3: You feel what I'm saying, he's still learning on the
Speaker 3: fly up. He gonna play a lot better.
Speaker 2: At home, Joe.
Speaker 3: Like I tell y'all that Joel, hold hold on. But
Speaker 3: this is this is what I was telling y'all, Ojo.
Speaker 3: I'd rather first start on the road so these guys
Speaker 3: can really see what playoff basketball is like. The atmosphere
Speaker 3: CJ been, he'd have been there. He played against champions,
Speaker 3: you know a lot of them, them battles he had
Speaker 3: with the Warriors when he was in Portland. But we
Speaker 3: got some guys who are very inexperiencing in the playoffs.
Speaker 3: So but you know, they're eager to learn, and I
Speaker 3: think they're gonna play a lot better at home. And
Speaker 3: I think it was great to have CJ on the
Speaker 3: road lead these guys down to charge. I'm talking about
Speaker 3: from the from the start to finish. I just felt
Speaker 3: CJ was consistent. Uh, he got others involved, and when
Speaker 3: it was time for him to step up and make
Speaker 3: big plays, Ojo, he did that. Now he got to
Speaker 3: meet me at the practice of tomorrow. He got a
Speaker 3: he got two hundred, got.
Speaker 2: He got that.
Speaker 4: Pressure on that HEYU that joke and he kept saying it,
Speaker 4: and it God damn interview.
Speaker 2: He kept saying my free almost I'm gonna burn my money.
Speaker 3: Man.
Speaker 2: Hey, jam we beat him up the other night. The
Speaker 2: guy that got them back with come on Now.
Speaker 1: Coming on the floor, Cominga put his head down and
Speaker 1: he had an unbelievable job because when they went small
Speaker 1: and took the.
Speaker 3: Congo out, he had the guard cat. That man had
Speaker 3: cat out there. I told y'all, man, hold on the block, cat,
Speaker 3: damn yo Old. I don't know, I don't know why,
Speaker 3: I don't know why you do it. Listen, bro, I
Speaker 3: told y'all Comminga Cominga is not a little bitty dude.
Speaker 2: Bro. He can fight cat and they don't take money. Sure, yeah,
Speaker 2: but what I'm saying is what.
Speaker 3: I'm saying is, yeah, can't make get him a couple
Speaker 3: of times, that's cool, But for the better part of it,
Speaker 3: he'll cat down to the You know, I feel like
Speaker 3: he just got more endurance.
Speaker 4: You feel what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: And when we played small like that, you see how
Speaker 3: how Kminga was just coming in attack and being address.
Speaker 2: That's how he got to play from now on, That's
Speaker 2: how he drive. You remember that we're not running no
Speaker 2: plays for you, bro. You got to get it. How
Speaker 2: you get it?
Speaker 1: We pass you the ball up ahead. Hey, you you
Speaker 1: get you get on the attack early, and that's what
Speaker 1: he did. You see that he got a couple of
Speaker 1: a ones early because he attacked early. Bro Right, now,
Speaker 1: that's not your game where we're gonna let hey you
Speaker 1: just high got you what you is, what you are
Speaker 1: if it put your head down and he'll with the
Speaker 1: float or get to the rim and flush.
Speaker 2: That's what you are. And that and we just talked.
Speaker 4: We just talked about that Joe the other night when
Speaker 4: they didn't win. What is Cominga's role. We didn't know
Speaker 4: what his role was, or the fact that he didn't
Speaker 4: have a role. But uncle, you said just the right way.
Speaker 4: Once you get in there, just play basketball. You don't
Speaker 4: you don't need to think, just be able to read it,
Speaker 4: react and just go and do what you did tonight,
Speaker 4: obviously being able to frustrate cat again who need to
Speaker 4: do and take advantage of them being small. Get your
Speaker 4: ass down on the goddamn block in Bangalok.
Speaker 3: Listen, go ahead, Joe, listen for kaminga. He just got
Speaker 3: to continue to keep playing hard, meaning let his defense
Speaker 3: funel his offense because they really got him going. He
Speaker 3: was in the passing lane, you know what I mean,
Speaker 3: just coming up, just causing havoc on defense. That was
Speaker 3: fueling our fast breaking our offense, and we was getting
Speaker 3: easy buckers left and right. They gotta keep doing that, bro,
Speaker 3: They gotta keep applying pressure on them.
Speaker 2: Dudes. Man, they gonna hey, they gonna chow.
Speaker 1: The problem is the thing that kaminga note and probably
Speaker 1: from the scouting report, if Cat can't get that post position,
Speaker 1: he'll get frustrated and then get you going back out,
Speaker 1: just going back out to the three point line.
Speaker 2: So yeah, mingo faulty for the charge. Yeah, there you go.
Speaker 1: So now Cat gonna get frustrated and gonna get him up.
Speaker 1: He ain't looking like, hey swinging, Hey, let me repost.
Speaker 1: That's not him, that's not here. He he won You
Speaker 1: seen him out there hitting them three.
Speaker 2: He's style.
Speaker 4: I'm like, yeah, yeah, yeah, you see it. You see it?
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, you see. I'm like, yeah, okay, okay, just
Speaker 3: let us stay closed. Just let us stay closed.
Speaker 2: He can have it fun. Look Spike leading them over there.
Speaker 1: Hey, listen, y'all know Spike Lee graduated from more House,
Speaker 1: so he gonna come down trying to.
Speaker 2: Buy all the tickets. But we can't have that. We
Speaker 2: can't have that in a we can't have it.
Speaker 1: Hey, you know it's gonna be a lot of blue
Speaker 1: and orange. Oh yeah, come on now, it is it
Speaker 1: is is but yeah, yeah, the Hawks. The Hawks played
Speaker 1: really well. I mean you look look at the Hawks.
Speaker 1: He had one, two, three, They had four guys in
Speaker 1: double figures. Jonathan led by Jonathan KAMINGA. I thought he
Speaker 1: played really well. Uh he played excellent seven or twelve,
Speaker 1: one or four four six for the free free throw line,
Speaker 1: four rebounds and assists.
Speaker 2: The steels he had blocked.
Speaker 1: He played really really well and had he and Christburgh
Speaker 1: tied for the highest plus minus at plus ten.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think this is that's Kaming. A tough matchup
Speaker 3: for the Knicks, especially, like I told y'all, you put
Speaker 3: him at that four of the fives by him, Him
Speaker 3: and Jayalen Johnson. That's a tough combination to have to guard.
Speaker 4: And you know, you know, you know who didn't give
Speaker 4: you really nothing to night to, uh Joe. That imagine
Speaker 4: especially when they get back home and they play at home,
Speaker 4: NI kill Alexander Walker. You know he's gonna play won
Speaker 4: the game to Night with CJ. McCullum dead obviously, God
Speaker 4: damn Jayalen Johnson showed up to the party, But ni
Speaker 4: ki Alexander Walker ain't even he ain't come to the party.
Speaker 4: He ain't show up. He show up.
Speaker 3: He Hey, look he played and he played hard. Yeah,
Speaker 3: he made the ball game. He made some big time plays.
Speaker 3: That rip off, that strip that he got on Bronson.
Speaker 3: I thought he played.
Speaker 1: And you know, when you play and you got to
Speaker 1: play that of minutes, it's gonna take some of your
Speaker 1: offensive game away. That's why you always try to put
Speaker 1: your one of your best offensive players on a weak
Speaker 1: defensive player. It takes a special somebody to be able
Speaker 1: to dig deep on both ends, give it to your
Speaker 1: offensively and still be able to take one of the
Speaker 1: one of two or three best opposing offensive players and
Speaker 1: try to shut them down. So I thought he did
Speaker 1: a fairy good job because look at Bronson. Brunton had
Speaker 1: twenty nine points, but he took him twenty six shots.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I can live with no. Look youre going to twenty six, Joe,
Speaker 3: I can live with that. Yeah, Hey, listen, I like
Speaker 3: Alexander's energy. I think he just made the most threes
Speaker 3: in franchise history in the season. So I know, O Joe,
Speaker 3: he gonna play a lot better at home, and we
Speaker 3: needed his contribution. Listen, if we can hold the Knicks
Speaker 3: to one hundred and six points or less, man, that's
Speaker 3: in our favor every night, bro, you know what I mean,
Speaker 3: Like we we can't have it up there in them
Speaker 3: and them hundred and thirties and hunting and forties and
Speaker 3: hundred now.
Speaker 2: But see we got the damn Joe. I'm glad.
Speaker 1: I'm a let Broughton shoot twenty six times because guess
Speaker 1: who ain't sure?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Cat had twelve shot. Yeah, oh g had four. Josh
Speaker 1: Harden had eleven shot of TIMPs.
Speaker 2: Cat, I thought we played something he can't he get
Speaker 2: that's a high volume of shots. He ain't.
Speaker 3: I don't think he got enough stam stamming of the
Speaker 3: able to get money like that. I'm just keep it
Speaker 3: real with y'all, not from what I I mean, because
Speaker 3: guess what you got. You got walk taking him and
Speaker 3: you got Dyson Daniels. Dyson Daniels got the left to
Speaker 3: bother him. Yeah, just wa him down, tell us, Jalen Johnson.
Speaker 1: So you get six nine, you get six safe you
Speaker 1: get probably what what is walked six fo six three
Speaker 1: six foke He might be even six five.
Speaker 3: That's at the walker. Oh yeah, he about sixty five six. Yo.
Speaker 2: Think about the.
Speaker 1: Length that we that we throwing a six foot two
Speaker 1: Jalen Brunson and were wearing him down.
Speaker 2: So now he's taking, he's taking.
Speaker 1: He's a tough shot maker now he don't get me wrong,
Speaker 1: Now I'm not, but I'm just saying, if they the
Speaker 1: Hawks can continue to make him shoot ten of twenty six,
Speaker 1: ten of twenty six, that means twenty six shots. Cat
Speaker 1: only got twelve shot at tamps. Cat got no free throw.
Speaker 1: So what does that tell you?
Speaker 4: No free aggressive mean aggressive? So we say the same
Speaker 4: thing every time we talk about it. We say the
Speaker 4: same and I know he I know it's not just us,
Speaker 4: I mean everybody say he still don't change his game
Speaker 4: even though yeah, hell, you're playing an Atlanta Hawks team
Speaker 4: that have nobody that can deal with you down there
Speaker 4: in the blocking in the paint.
Speaker 1: But you, huh change his game? How you gonna change
Speaker 1: his game? You think of crocodile all of a sudden.
Speaker 1: Don't start eating Kemp. Don't start eating you don't start
Speaker 1: eating flowers.
Speaker 4: It eat me. Hey, so cat gonna be what call?
Speaker 2: You ask him a chance this game?
Speaker 3: Now? Hey, hey, y'all gotta get my boy Congo some
Speaker 3: credit to our center. Okay oo, and he fifteen and eight.
Speaker 3: He got that splick and he got that shooting at
Speaker 3: that case.
Speaker 1: Because if you put Mitchell Robinson in the game, you drag,
Speaker 1: you brag. You bring him outside of the paint because
Speaker 1: Mitch all he wants to do is stay in front
Speaker 1: of there can test shots, get lobbed, dunk, get rebound,
Speaker 1: and give the next second chance a second chance point attempts.
Speaker 1: That's what we want to do. But when you get
Speaker 1: a Congo, Congo can knock down the three. So you
Speaker 1: just can't sit your ass up in the basketball. You're
Speaker 1: gonna take it out the net.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Hey, I told y'all, man, this is gonna be a
Speaker 2: good series.
Speaker 3: Bro.
Speaker 2: Okay, hold on that. But CJ Man I thought that
Speaker 2: shot to think about it. CJ got that ball. Hey,
Speaker 2: got to his spot and let it go.
Speaker 3: And he had a stretch down there for he was
Speaker 3: getting get talking about he had them dudes at his mercy.
Speaker 3: Bro the way he run the pick and roll, uh
Speaker 3: Man to the young hoopers out there who want to
Speaker 3: who want to become a pretty good basketball player. Man.
Speaker 3: You Hey, the NBA is a pick and roll league. Bro,
Speaker 3: We're gonna always seek the mismatch, whatever it is. We're
Speaker 3: gonna pick and roll you to death. And so you
Speaker 3: gotta be great in the pick and roll. And CJ
Speaker 3: got that thing down to a science.
Speaker 2: You hear me.
Speaker 3: I'm talking about getting in his spot, shooting his floater,
Speaker 3: shooting his mini and then it's bob bop game. So
Speaker 3: nice boy, I'm telling you bob brusting a few times.
Speaker 2: Hey, what you call it?
Speaker 4: That bop bop?
Speaker 2: That bob bob.
Speaker 3: You're gonna you're gonna see. Youre gonna see I'm talking about.
Speaker 3: Don't worry about it coming. It's coming to a place
Speaker 3: near you. Hold on, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm talking

Speaker 4: you see.
Speaker 2: C J.
Speaker 3: Ot there you see how he had brush.
Speaker 4: Hey Hey, hey, hey Joe, that's five on five, Joe.
Speaker 4: That had nothing to do with one on one. That
Speaker 4: bop ain't gonna work.
Speaker 3: Oh, they got Hey, they got pastor. Troy gonna be
Speaker 3: here for Game three. Man, turn turn this thing up.
Speaker 3: In game three passage, he.

Speaker 1: something tonight they did. Bro they did.
Speaker 3: That was tucks because you know, the Knicks was, you know,
Speaker 3: pretty much handling us, and I just I felt we
Speaker 3: could fight back. We seemed like we would get within
Speaker 3: a few points and next thing you know, you know,
Speaker 3: Nicks is going a little mini run or something happened then.
Speaker 3: But when the fourth quarter came, it's like everybody got
Speaker 3: tight for the Knicks and c J. C J was like,

Speaker 3: I got don't worry about it.
Speaker 2: You see, Bradley played, Remember Quinn knows it. Quinn had
Speaker 2: him in Utah.
Speaker 1: A big body, somebody that can bang, somebody that can
Speaker 1: bang with Mitch, somebody that can bang with Cat, because
Speaker 1: Cat was Kat was killing him.
Speaker 2: On the glass.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah. A shout out to Tony Bradley because
Speaker 3: I was on that team in Utah when Quinn was coaching.
Speaker 3: I played with Tony Bradley, So he gave us some
Speaker 3: great minutes tonight, you know, a which was much needed
Speaker 3: because they did.
Speaker 1: Man, they did. They needed that. But I thought the

Speaker 1: the team should be very proud. But don't relax. Now

Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 4: What church hand?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: You got You're in the church. You see somebody? Yeah yeah.
Speaker 2: Go on the road.
Speaker 1: So the last to the last two road teams win
Speaker 1: the ball game. The Hawks wear one of those seven
Speaker 1: one o six and Minnesota goes on the road and
Speaker 1: take down Denver.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 2: But no such luck for the Toronto Raptors.
Speaker 1: Donovan Mitchell scores thirty, James Bardy scores twenty eight, Evan
Speaker 1: Mobley has twenty five. The Cavaliers had at least three
Speaker 1: players to score at least twenty five points in the
Speaker 1: fourth postseason game for the second straight season, the fourth
Speaker 1: time overall. Cleveland never trail and won twelve straight playoff
Speaker 1: games versus Toronto thanks to goat James could goat Jake,
Speaker 1: they couldn't win nothing. Nathaniel over go and tired the
Speaker 1: NBA postseason record consecutive.
Speaker 2: Wins over a single opponent.
Speaker 1: The streak began in twenty sixteen Eastern Conference Finals, when
Speaker 1: the Cavaliers took the final two games. Cavaliers swept Toronto
Speaker 1: in four games and the second round in twenty seventeen
Speaker 1: and twenty eighteen.
Speaker 4: Hey, I got a question.
Speaker 1: Somebody need tell me what's going on with what going
Speaker 1: on with Brandon Ingram? So the score was one fifteen
Speaker 1: to one oh five. You get great production. I mean,
Speaker 1: look at this efficiency.
Speaker 2: RJ.
Speaker 1: Barrett twenty two points on ten of thirteen, Scotty Barnes
Speaker 1: twenty six points, e eleven to nineteen. You get Colin
Speaker 1: Murray Boyles seventeen. Sandro had twelve five of eight. B
Speaker 1: I had seven points three or fifteen. Now he was
Speaker 1: talking about the guy had him in the pick where
Speaker 1: they got me senting picks. They got me senting picks. Okay,
Speaker 1: you ain't saying no pics tonight you three or fifteen?
Speaker 2: Come on now with it? Come on now, all them?
Speaker 4: What to say? Man? That God damn Mobley and Harden.
Speaker 4: I understand they had twenty five and twenty eight, But
Speaker 4: look how fishing them boys was from the field though,
Speaker 4: and with Donovan Mitchell and playing like that. If you
Speaker 4: got Mobley, Harden and Mitchell playing like that with your
Speaker 4: two bigs, hell, Joe, they could damn there, just if
Speaker 4: I beat anybody coming out the East. If them three
Speaker 4: them three them three, Spinhead and Musters play like that
Speaker 4: every single night. Now, I know it's impossible to do
Speaker 4: every single night, but if two of them come along
Speaker 4: and the rest of your supporting cast, just give you something,
Speaker 4: especially on the defensive end with them big boys down there.
Speaker 3: I mean, hey, listen, I see what you're saying. But
Speaker 3: I also know unks saying too about brandon Ingram.
Speaker 1: If he gave you anything tonight with the bench playing
Speaker 1: brandon Ingram gives you anything, you got too. They got
Speaker 1: two points from y'all portal, Yeah, Jamal she brandon Ingram
Speaker 1: maybe seven points, so you got twelve points. One guy
Speaker 1: played thirty eight minutes, the other guy played thirty six minutes.
Speaker 2: Yeah, hell to them. Yeah, no, I agree with you.
Speaker 2: Brandon Ingram gotta be better.
Speaker 3: I'm sure he knows that, Uh, three for fifteen ain't
Speaker 3: gonna get it, not against his CALVS team in Cleveland
Speaker 3: with Donovan and James Harden and and them guys mobiling them,
Speaker 3: playing the way they playing. Sh y'all, Hey, y'all ain't
Speaker 3: giving no resistance, bro, like you know, you gotta you
Speaker 3: gotta be better than that. Uh, And I'm sure he'll
Speaker 3: be better turn down all over when they go home. Hey,
Speaker 3: I got him winning. I got him win him again.
Speaker 3: I got him winning the game or two in this series. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I don't got him winning the series, but I got
Speaker 3: him winning the game. But yeah, it was a great fight, man,
Speaker 3: it was a great fight. I just felt Cleveland came
Speaker 3: out hereting on all cylinders from the jump he did.
Speaker 4: Hey, Joe the boy putting ahead and you seen that
Speaker 4: god damn step back three from uh from Harden with
Speaker 4: that was that was a foul? Well, I mean we
Speaker 4: opened up, opened up with a little a little bit
Speaker 4: with his hand.
Speaker 2: That wouldn't that. Yeah, he come up through it when
Speaker 2: you put your but he went back and fell.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you can't put your hand in the cookie, Joab
Speaker 1: that every time did you go they see the hand
Speaker 1: like that, they're just going straight up.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, Hey, look that's.
Speaker 3: Why the game different now, because you can't touch nobody.
Speaker 3: Soon as you touch them, they started, you know, flailing,
Speaker 3: getting them fouls, foul baiting. But Cleveland, Cleveland did what
Speaker 3: they're supposed to do. Bro, protect your home court now,
Speaker 3: We're gonna see what they really made of.
Speaker 2: Can they go to.
Speaker 3: Toronto and uh get a win or two? But I
Speaker 3: got Toronto winning the game or two in this series.
Speaker 1: In Game one b I had seventeen points, Game two
Speaker 1: he had seven points. On three or fifteen, he had
Speaker 1: a team high five turnovers. He's averaging almost twenty two
Speaker 1: points a game in the regular season, but through two
Speaker 1: games he has just twelve points, averaging twelve points a game,
Speaker 1: and he's the second highest paid player on the team
Speaker 1: at thirty eight mil per season, and he's been an
Speaker 1: All Star.
Speaker 2: So he was Alltide this year, Wasn't I think he was?
Speaker 2: I think he was?
Speaker 1: Yeh, all, yeah, I had two guys. All he's either
Speaker 1: your baby player or your second best player. It all
Speaker 1: depends you're talking about Scotty Barnes or whatever. But they were.
Speaker 1: They won a want to be whatever however you want
Speaker 1: to rank it. You gotta give me more than that.
Speaker 1: I can't have three role players coming off the damn
Speaker 1: bench playing ten less minutes than you and got and
Speaker 1: got more points to you. Yeah, Jakobe Walker fourteen points
Speaker 1: to your seven. Murray Bowles has seventeen to your seven.
Speaker 1: Sandro had twelve to your seven. Now that happen, it
Speaker 1: just can't out. Yeah, it can't.
Speaker 2: For the win on the road that he.
Speaker 3: Can't play like that, You make it away with you
Speaker 3: make it win a game at home with him playing
Speaker 3: like that. If the rest of these guys, if the
Speaker 3: other guys play like this, yes you can win. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: yeah yeah on the road. But on the role it's
Speaker 3: gonna be your big guys need to come through. But
Speaker 3: it's your role players that eventually win you the game.
Speaker 3: But if your big guys don't come through, I don't
Speaker 3: know if the role players can do enough. Now, if
Speaker 3: you get somebody to go off, give you thirty, some
Speaker 3: role player, give you thirty, thirty five.
Speaker 2: Hey, you got a chance.
Speaker 1: But he ain't very often that you're gonna find a
Speaker 1: role player get numbers like that, Joe, especially in the
Speaker 1: playoff game.
Speaker 2: That might happen in the regular season.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but in the playoff game, the likelihood of a
Speaker 1: role player going off and getting thirty, it's.
Speaker 3: Happened, but of w yeah, yeah, it don't happen a lot, bro,
Speaker 3: And you got to be come from a different clause, boy,
Speaker 3: to come out. Listen to to to be a role
Speaker 3: player or to come off the bench and win a game,
Speaker 3: meaning the playoffs, to where you know you're hitting on
Speaker 3: all cylinders, because man, the game plan be so precise. Okay,
Speaker 3: oh yo, Like I always tell y'all, we already know
Speaker 3: what plays they gonna run. They already know what plays
Speaker 3: we gonna run. We know who the shooters are and
Speaker 3: the nine shooters. Bro we gotta we gotta play it
Speaker 3: to the team and see who make a mistake first.
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, baby dinosaurs, y'all down? Oh two?
Speaker 3: Hey, hey, Toronto gonna be lit. Drake gonna be at
Speaker 3: the game. Hey, we got some good matchups coming up, fellas. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: it's gonna do tie. The table's gonna turn what they.
Speaker 1: Have to they have to, Joe. I mean, look, you
Speaker 1: you lose three to one. Now, look, Donovan Mitchell does
Speaker 1: have a problem, have a problem. He's lost having three
Speaker 1: one lead, having two old leads, and he's lost. And
Speaker 1: that's kind of been the knock on him. Last year.
Speaker 1: What Indiana did to them was oh that was embarrassing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and they they did that the area damn by
Speaker 3: the last year in the playoff, yeah, they wasn't. There
Speaker 3: was undred dollars in every series series?
Speaker 1: Yeah, what they beat the Knicks, beat the Celtics, Calve
Speaker 1: beat the what they beat the Calves in the first round?
Speaker 1: Then thought what they got the Knicks and didn't they
Speaker 1: didn't they beat what you call him in the fire,
Speaker 1: beat up what you call them? They they beat the
Speaker 1: Knicks to go to the fighting. Maybe they did, yeah,
Speaker 1: because I know, I know they started off with the Calves. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: they went from the Calves to.
Speaker 4: It was I got damn had Halle. Halle was on
Speaker 4: goddamn fire. Yeah, calla hitting game when out here he
Speaker 4: were going crazy?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Who else? Didn't remember who? Yeah? Cause, like you said,
Speaker 2: they were underdogs and every in every matchup, but they found.
Speaker 3: Was it Milwaukee?
Speaker 2: It was Milwaukee?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Or they played Bucks in the first ROUNDE did Cleveland
Speaker 1: and then the Nicks oh yeah yeah, and they were
Speaker 1: underd dollars and every series. But had they had Damnar
Speaker 1: about four five game winners.
Speaker 4: Oh that boy, and he got that funny, funny release
Speaker 4: on his shot.
Speaker 3: Joe straight water that thing cash. I ain't gonna even
Speaker 3: lie to y'all when Indiana traded for him. I ain't
Speaker 3: really see what they've seen in him when he was
Speaker 3: in Sacramento playing with Fox. I'm like, they must think
Speaker 3: this little, this little dude hell can play. He needs
Speaker 3: who's your point guard? Fox and him? Yeah, I ain't
Speaker 3: see I ain't see this though. I ain't see him.
Speaker 3: I ain't see him putting it down like this.
Speaker 1: Then you you let him go and he gets a
Speaker 1: big that he could throw lib two. I mean he
Speaker 1: still you know, like I said, he can make the three?
Speaker 1: Can he penetrate? He's bigger than your face, like six five,
Speaker 1: big ass point. Yeah, but you know, I'm looking forward
Speaker 1: to seeing him back next Year'll see what they do
Speaker 1: in the draft for where they can trade they can
Speaker 1: make because I think they need another big. I don't
Speaker 1: think they have enough right now with Pascal and they
Speaker 1: gave up Matt Burn. Nim Hard is still there. I
Speaker 1: just don't think they Obie top It is okay. I
Speaker 1: think he's a solid role player, but they need a big.
Speaker 1: They need a big way the worst way. But they
Speaker 1: got their work cut out for him. They got their
Speaker 1: work cut out for him because Cleveland isn't either an
Speaker 1: easy victory. So and they played really well, as you
Speaker 1: guys saw the night twenty five Mobile on thirteen shots,
Speaker 1: he's eleven or thirteen. Harden had twenty eight on nine
Speaker 1: or fourteen, and then Donovan Mitchell had thirty on thirteen
Speaker 1: twenty three. So when you three big guns are going
Speaker 1: off like that and you let them shoot the percentage
Speaker 1: like their shooting, it's gonna be hard for you to
Speaker 1: beat them. It's gonna be really, really, really really extremely
Speaker 1: hard for you to beat them. When you turned the
Speaker 1: ball over twenty two times, they turned it over ten times.
Speaker 1: That's not that's not a recipe for success. So Cavaliers
Speaker 1: up to Oh, Nuggets t Wolves one one, Hawks Nick
Speaker 1: one one.
Speaker 3: We got we got a serious we got some basketball
Speaker 3: going on now.
Speaker 4: Fellas, Hey, jermy feeling good now, Hi Joe.
Speaker 2: Come on, man, start playing making video?
Speaker 4: He making videos all on Instagram tagging you know he
Speaker 4: my black business, and I get it.
Speaker 2: I get an alert.
Speaker 4: Yeah, hey he making an all type of Hawks sound
Speaker 4: hey like he called from Martin. I'm like, okay, hey, hey, hey.
Speaker 2: I almost burnt my money.
Speaker 3: Man.
Speaker 2: When I said the first video, he come down now
Speaker 2: and smoked them two free throws.
Speaker 1: I said, oh my god, yeah, you know you can't
Speaker 1: do it. Oh yeah, Joe, what you call they traded
Speaker 1: for us, didn't he That's how the Matt Burn ended
Speaker 1: up in the Clippers, and I like, I thought was
Speaker 1: getting better and better and better he played. I liked
Speaker 1: it when he was with the Lakers and Lebron. I
Speaker 1: was shocked that Magic gave him up for Lord have
Speaker 1: mercy for that what he gave him up for. Uh,
Speaker 1: he gave us, That's who he traded him for. Yes,
Speaker 1: he traded with the Clippers for Mike Muscala, and Mike
Speaker 1: Muscala was a marks shot three shot three really well,
Speaker 1: except till he brought his ass to the Lakers to
Speaker 1: play with Lebron and he couldn't throw.
Speaker 2: It into the amn ocean.
Speaker 4: I forgot. I forgot.
Speaker 1: We have something we've never had before, a unanimous defensive
Speaker 1: Player of the Year, and he's the youngest player of
Speaker 1: the year. Victor Wimami wom bin Yama wimby Uh, as expected,
Speaker 1: was announced the winner of the Defensive Players Year.
Speaker 2: He was second and voting last year.
Speaker 1: Thought he could have won it last your favorite this
Speaker 1: season until the medical condition end of the season prematurely
Speaker 1: then left no doubt. At twenty two, he's the youngest
Speaker 1: defensive player of the Year and he's the first to
Speaker 1: win it unanimously.
Speaker 3: I mean, hey, Ray, y'all can see that, Hey, Ojo,
Speaker 3: the next five, maybe seven to ten years, he's probably
Speaker 3: gonna win this award.
Speaker 2: I wouldn't be surprised because of you know, his unique.
Speaker 3: Bill being seven four seven five, with that lone wing
Speaker 3: span like that, and moving the way he moved, you know,
Speaker 3: having great timing and shot blocking and just altering shots.
Speaker 2: Bro it ain't gonna be nothing like him over the
Speaker 2: next twenty years.
Speaker 1: It ain't nobody really to challenge him, because you got
Speaker 1: to realize that the nineties, Joe, you had Mark Eaton,
Speaker 1: you had the Ken Babe, but Tumbo, you had Elijah
Speaker 1: want you had Dvid Robinson, you had Eing, You had guys,
Speaker 1: and then you had Jordan and so you got Robinson,
Speaker 1: so you had guys that were really you had Gary Payton,
Speaker 1: so you had it wasn't no situation like oh man, no,
Speaker 1: hell no, they were They played defense defense. And so
Speaker 1: now with Wemby, really, when you look at it, it's
Speaker 1: really only too big to play defense.
Speaker 2: It's women and Rudy. I mean, when you look at it, Joe.
Speaker 1: When you really really bring it down when you look
Speaker 1: at big okay chat chants in there. But if what
Speaker 1: it's not like it was in the nineties when you
Speaker 1: had a I mean, think about it, David Robinson Defensive
Speaker 1: Player of the Year, a key defensive player of the year.
Speaker 1: You had Mark Eaton, you had I mean, you had guys,
Speaker 1: and you had you know, George, you had to the
Speaker 1: guards were legit, So you might you might be right, Joe,
Speaker 1: there might be a string.
Speaker 2: Where he could get four and five years.
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna be probably the first guy to
Speaker 1: win five of them because he's wonted so early in
Speaker 1: his career.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I wouldn't be I wouldn't be surprised.
Speaker 3: And and you got to look at his state of
Speaker 3: mind where he's at, bro. He's trying to do something
Speaker 3: that's never been done. He understands the position that he has,
Speaker 3: and he's so locked in on his craft, trying to
Speaker 3: better himself day in and day out, like he's looking
Speaker 3: to be the best bro. He he wants to be
Speaker 3: the face of the league. Hey, he want to carry
Speaker 3: that torch. He ain't tripping, he ain't tripping by nothing,
Speaker 3: how you know me? However, he come so I think
Speaker 3: you're gonna have a guy who is you know, and
Speaker 3: God's willing. Bro he stayed healthy. He gonna string a
Speaker 3: few of these together, and you might be right. He
Speaker 3: might be the first one to get five, you know,
Speaker 3: because his shot blocking ability.
Speaker 2: Is just crazy. And if we don't he don't block
Speaker 2: the shot. He makes you think. I don't even want
Speaker 2: to try to lay up. I'm good, Flow up me
Speaker 2: going out here to the three.
Speaker 1: Hey, get a three on what you know? They get
Speaker 1: a three on what you normally challenge. They pulled that bag.
Speaker 2: Let's go back here.
Speaker 3: We ain't got nothing. We ain't got nothing going on
Speaker 3: down here. Win me up under the basket. You're you're right, man.
Speaker 3: Don't nobody, Hey, don't nobody want that smoke? Man?
Speaker 1: He he is a matchup nightmare. And the thing and
Speaker 1: the thing is, we love guys that can play offense
Speaker 1: and defense. That's what you loved about Jordan because he
Speaker 1: gave it to you on both days. You love that
Speaker 1: about Kobe, you love that about Dream, You love that
Speaker 1: about those guys Johannis.
Speaker 2: Hey, but when you look at all those dudes you
Speaker 2: just name, none of them.
Speaker 4: Move like no.
Speaker 2: No, I was sixteen.
Speaker 4: This guy, this guy seven inches seven inches taller than Elijah.
Speaker 3: One and and I'm talking about but I'm talking to
Speaker 3: Joe that what I'm talking about. It ain't it ain't
Speaker 3: like he just shot blocking like he really handling the
Speaker 3: rock like a real small guard man out here seven
Speaker 3: four seven five.
Speaker 2: Yes, Like some of the.
Speaker 3: Moves that he making. You know, Janni's are downhill.
Speaker 2: Like that.
Speaker 3: He ain't got no East West. He ain't got none
Speaker 3: that high.
Speaker 2: He ain't got that.
Speaker 1: He gone straight downhill, straight through. You give me, man,
Speaker 1: Winny got some wiggle in his game. That's this is
Speaker 1: why that boy I don't understand about the old guys
Speaker 1: is that we're not taking anything away from you, but
Speaker 1: these guys are more skill than you. Name one guy
Speaker 1: that played in the played in the eighties and nineties
Speaker 1: that can do what Wimby did. Name one guy that
Speaker 1: played in the eighties and nineties that can do what
Speaker 1: Kevin Durant did.
Speaker 2: You don't. And it's okay. It's called evolution. It is yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, guys get bigger, faster, stronger in the NFL. They
Speaker 1: get biggy because they see what you did. And so
Speaker 1: that's the standard you guys. I mean when when basketball
Speaker 1: first started. Look at this, Come on, man, guys win
Speaker 1: the MVP shooting forty percent. Yeah, real talk.
Speaker 2: It's different now, and it's it's okay. I'm not saying
Speaker 2: I just believe that there are more guys to do
Speaker 2: what the really good players could do. Back then, that's all.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, oh yeah, and we ain't think about it.
Speaker 3: You know, back back in the day, un ocho, if
Speaker 3: you was six five six six in like high school,
Speaker 3: you know, they'll.
Speaker 2: Put you They'll put you under you know what I mean,
Speaker 2: you're four.
Speaker 3: Nowadays, Yeah, nowadays, if you that height your guard meaning
Speaker 3: you doing all guard skill work. You feel what I'm saying,
Speaker 3: Even if you sixteen, they ain't just putting you up
Speaker 3: under the goal telling you shoot jump hooks. Due to George,
Speaker 3: Mike and Drill. They ain't telling you just do all that.
Speaker 3: You feel me, It's like, hey, look, we're gonna work
Speaker 3: on this bag even though you tallering everybody. And that's
Speaker 3: just kind of how the game has evolved. And now
Speaker 3: you got guys like Wemby at seven four seven five, bro,
Speaker 3: he doing stuff we ain't never i'ma be honest with y'all.
Speaker 3: His handle is uh is immaculate. For a guy his
Speaker 3: size to be able to move the way he moves, dude, dude, especially.
Speaker 1: Since the guys, because they're working on it now, Joe.
Speaker 1: These guys got trained man, guys got trainers, yuays. They
Speaker 1: have no trainers.
Speaker 2: Back then.
Speaker 1: They figured all that stuff out of their own from watching, watching,
Speaker 1: reading magazines or watching stuff. These guys now they see
Speaker 1: all the stuff that Jordan did. They see what Kobe did.
Speaker 1: They see what all these guys with great handles did.
Speaker 1: They just replicating that. Now you look at go on TikTok,
Speaker 1: go near to that. Go on YouTube and watch the
Speaker 1: I j Watch these young kids how they handle the ball,
Speaker 1: even the young ladies, the girls five seven years old.
Speaker 2: Pat in the rock.
Speaker 1: They ain't playing bro. It's okay, been there. It don't
Speaker 1: just because someone is moving advanced to the ball. That
Speaker 1: don't take away from what you did. I don't care
Speaker 1: somebody win ten championships. Jordan won six. He's still Jordan.
Speaker 1: Kobe went five. Run a kd uh. Step they don't
Speaker 1: do is what you guys did. Sometimes I think when
Speaker 1: guys somebody does something, people asking me that, well it no, no, no,
Speaker 1: it doesn't. I don't give a damn somebody. I don't
Speaker 1: care if somebody catch two thousand passes for a career,
Speaker 1: it don't diminish my what I did, because I did
Speaker 1: what I did when I did it. Right now, if
Speaker 1: he catch two thousand passes and somebody else in that
Speaker 1: era and the next closest got to got fifth, got
Speaker 1: a five hundred, now we're talking about something, Oh Joe,
Speaker 1: When you that far ahead, it's kind of like what
Speaker 1: we give Jared so much credit? Is that look at
Speaker 1: when Jared played, and look at what everybody had done
Speaker 1: number four with everybody else, right, ain't nobody got seventeen
Speaker 1: thousand receiving yards eighteen thousand, nineteen thousand, twenty twenty one,
Speaker 1: he got twenty two every thousand yards, nobody within forty
Speaker 1: touchdowns of it. That's what you when you clear the
Speaker 1: era and you forty touch downs clear of everybody else.

Speaker 1: have been, boy he was as the unanimous Rookie of
Speaker 1: the Year. He wasn't a unanimous step is the only
Speaker 1: unanimous m v P. Shock finished one vote short. Lebron
Speaker 1: finished one vote short.
Speaker 3: Hold on, I'm saying Dave Robinson never won a defensive player.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it wasn't unanimous.
Speaker 4: It's always a a It's funny, has always one voter, huh,
Speaker 4: one voter, Yeah, got always one voter. Want to play around.
Speaker 1: I forget I think the guy I think I think
Speaker 1: it was Fred Hickman that denied Shack and I think
Speaker 1: a guy voted for Carmelo. I think he's out of
Speaker 1: the New York market that ended up voting for Carmelo
Speaker 1: the year. Lebron finished one vote short.
Speaker 4: Hey, you give you give it, you give it. You
Speaker 4: give people a little power, Joe. You see how they
Speaker 4: abuse it.
Speaker 2: You already know.
Speaker 1: And that'll be different than man. I mean, look it happens. Hell,
Speaker 1: people left Kim Geary Junior off the Hall of Fame ballot.
Speaker 1: So Kevin Durant huh, I said. Kevin Durant went through
Speaker 1: the high about a half of practice Houston practice on
Speaker 1: Monday and would be a game time decision Tuesday. Accordingly,
Speaker 1: I made Udokah KT missed the Rockets Gay Game one
Speaker 1: loss due to a knee bruise he suffered in practice
Speaker 1: on Wednesday. Reports have come out that he suffered the
Speaker 1: knee injury diving for a loose ball and bumping into
Speaker 1: a teammate. And well that's one thing, uh we didn't do. Now,
Speaker 1: we could dive in the game, but Mike Shanahan, we're
Speaker 1: gonna have you down for ish in practice.
Speaker 2: Hey.
Speaker 3: That's hey, that's why pat Riley makes you what knee pads?
Speaker 3: Oh you got you gotta past where knee pass and
Speaker 3: practice when you get down. Yeah, yeah, we'n be working.
Speaker 2: They don't work like that, Joe. They don't. It's a
Speaker 2: different and I get it. I get it. I get it.
Speaker 1: It's so much money involved. You don't want to get
Speaker 1: guys hurt. Oh Joe, that's what you see with us.
Speaker 1: I mean they don't have no two days in practice.
Speaker 1: You only get eleven practice padded practices, and I think
Speaker 1: you only get three like the last six seven.
Speaker 2: Weeks of the season.
Speaker 1: It's a different time, and I understand it. But the
Speaker 1: thing is, Damn Houston. They had this long break because
Speaker 1: of the playing, so they had that week where they
Speaker 1: weren't playing. So if you ain't playing in that week,
Speaker 1: you have to find a way to kind of rive
Speaker 1: it up at least for a day or two. Oh Joe,
Speaker 1: we just can't go out there cold Turkey and we
Speaker 1: ain't got our heart rate up like we gotta. We
Speaker 1: gotta bump a grind a little bit.
Speaker 3: And it's just just this is just one of the
Speaker 3: unfortunates that happened when you're practicing before the playoffs.
Speaker 1: That's what we had to do because like we might
Speaker 1: have a playoff or we're gonna sit out, we'd have
Speaker 1: to take we'd have to take scout team reps. So
Speaker 1: because we weren't gonna get in the game reps, so
Speaker 1: we had to take scout team reps.
Speaker 2: Cool, I'm cool, I'll cook it doing your thing. Sure, Yeah,
Speaker 2: coach de courting teller, Well they tied in.
Speaker 1: He ain't shutting sharp, he ain't no Pro Bowl, all
Speaker 1: pro Well, he might get y'all the way y'all playing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, but I get it.
Speaker 1: I get it, And it's it's very unfortunate because KD
Speaker 1: played seventy eight of eighty two ball games and here
Speaker 1: it is a freak incident and now.
Speaker 2: I missed the game. There's a potential of the possibility
Speaker 2: I might miss the game tomorrow.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and could potentially cost him the series. Hey, because
Speaker 3: y'all know momentum. Hey, I tell you, man, it's a
Speaker 3: fine line between winning and losing and the postseason. And
Speaker 3: you know, Lakers build this humongous confidence and they go
Speaker 3: up too old going into Houston, y'all know, Lebron probably
Speaker 3: gonna have he gonna have one of them games, one
Speaker 3: of them games, he's gonna he's gonna at her full
Speaker 3: the opportunity for us to go on out there to Houston,
Speaker 3: see old Gold out there, and you know, Houston, you

Speaker 4: but I sprinkled it out there a little bit, you know,
Speaker 4: like like partially I sprinkled out there a little bit.
Speaker 4: And you know the fact that I said, when I
Speaker 4: do say it, most of the people don't believe me.
Speaker 4: But when it happened, he was like, oh my goodness,

Speaker 4: me knowing what I'm talking about, but nobody really paying
Speaker 4: attention and got damned in February, I told you what
Speaker 4: he When did I say? And I'm sure we got
Speaker 4: the video evidence that we can pull back and we
Speaker 4: can use this proof. When did I say A J.
Speaker 4: Brown was going when they gonna trade him? What team?
Speaker 1: I said, we're going to Yeah, two months ago, Joel.
