00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:15,400
Speaker 1: nice TV, I'm guaranteeing you do too. Good size, crystal

5
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:18,920
Speaker 1: clear image, probably mounted. But you know what, my parents

6
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:21,760
Speaker 1: don't have a high quality soundbar.

7
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:24,040

Speaker 4: packed nineties name. We've never had it before, you know,

108
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 4: because he didn't get drafted until ninety three, and I

109
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 4: don't usually get cards until a bit before that.

110
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:36,919
Speaker 3: So legendary stuff.

111
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,520

Speaker 3: packs for the very first time.

115
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:50,479
Speaker 4: Hey, I don't know if any of you guys have

116
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:52,840
Speaker 4: ever played pick up with Zach at some point.

117
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 3: I never have.

118
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 4: I never how I'm surprised that our parts have never crossed.

119
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,159
Speaker 4: But I asked him what his game was like and

120
00:05:58,160 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 4: who was like?

121
00:05:58,960 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 2: Who do you think?

122
00:05:59,480 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 4: He said?

123
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 2: Well, I actually caught this.

124
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:05,920
Speaker 1: He says he liked to consider himself a Steph Curry,

125
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 1: but he's much much more similar to I believe he

126
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 1: was a Jason Williams. Wait, chocolate, right, that's right?

127
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah.

128
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 4: He said he likes to put a bit of sauce

129
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 4: on his passes out there and fling him around a bit,

130
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:19,719
Speaker 4: and now he can hit the three. So yeah, I

131
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 4: haven't seen himself. I'm not sure how accurate it was,

132
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 4: but I take his word for it.

133
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,280
Speaker 3: Well, I've played with Zach and I can't remember him

134
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 3: ever throwing a pass. So he was lying to you.

135
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 3: He was straight up lying to you. Yees, he'll chuck

136
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:31,719
Speaker 3: the threes though, you're right about that.

137
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 4: Well well so so what he said was, you know,

138
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 4: when he makes a bad pass, and maybe that's what

139
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 4: it is. Maybe you sort a few bad Just keep going.

140
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 4: You would to always point to the guy like, come on, man,

141
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 4: keep going, and that passes for you.

142
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,039
Speaker 1: I thought I've heard him compare himself to Rashid Wallace

143
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 1: once upon a time, Cray saying, because he just runs

144
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 1: from three point line to three point line, like that's

145
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:53,919
Speaker 1: that's that's the distance that he travels. He's not getting

146
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 1: into the pan all that much. That could be right.

147
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 4: Maybe that's where he is now. Maybe he was a

148
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:00,159
Speaker 4: younger days he was he was Jason Williams.

149
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 2: Maybe maybe when the hair was shorter, he was white chocolate.

150
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 1: All right, Well, let's get into our game recap here

151
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 1: on today's No Dumps podcast, looking at the West Finals,

152
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 1: Anthony Davis and the Lakers.

153
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 2: They beat the.

154
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 1: Nuggets by six. It was close to take the three

155
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 1: to one lead in the West Finals. Tassy Denver's got

156
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 1: him right where they want them, don't they. They're down

157
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 1: three to one. But would you take away from this

158
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 1: obviously big victory here from the Lakers.

159
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 6: Yeah, close game, going down to the wire. It really

160
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 6: came down to a few plays here or there, and

161
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 6: when Lebron James Is switched out onto Jamal Murray for

162
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 6: the first time in the series. You gotta start there.

163
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 6: That's a juicy storyline. It's as juicy as Calberccini coming

164
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 6: out of a pack of basketball cards. So really it's

165
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 6: the storylines and everybody asking Jamal Murray about it in

166
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 6: the end. Really, it was two plays. It was two possessions.

167
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 6: He guard him for three. Jamal Murray kind of threw

168
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 6: one away for one of them before Lebron even was

169
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 6: really close to him, and then the first one. It's

170
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 6: three forty five left. I'll say this first, Lebron can't

171
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 6: guard Jamal Murray. Jamal Murray is too quick for him.

172
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 6: But Jamal Murray got to the rim, and this is

173
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 6: the exact reason why you put Lebron on Jamal Murray,

174
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 6: because one possession in such a bang bank situation, like

175
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 6: in all basketball plays at the rim, quite often, the

176
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 6: best player in the world or the guy who's had

177
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 6: that title for a long time, is going to get

178
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 6: the call. Lebron fouled him, but there was no whistle.

179
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 6: Jamal Murray was angry as he should have been, and

180
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 6: I think he should have been just as angry as

181
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 6: as his teammates because Lebron sprinted down the other end

182
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 6: of the court, feeling good after getting that stop and

183
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 6: just waltzed in for a bucket. So that was way

184
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 6: too easy. And then a second challenge by Lebron at

185
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 6: the rim. It looks really strange seeing Lebron challenge at

186
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 6: the room because he doesn't take it like a big guy.

187
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 6: He's not taking it in the chest. So I think

188
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 6: that kind of throws referees off too. Not to give

189
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 6: Hi an excuse, that was ifoul call the first one,

190
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 6: but the second one, I think Jamal Murray just messed

191
00:08:57,840 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 6: up and he didn't really go unto Lebron's body. So

192
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:01,560
Speaker 6: there's two PAS sessions there in the last few minutes,

193
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 6: but you know, those obviously factor in. Every play factors in.

194
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 6: But two offensive rebounds by the Lakers in the last

195
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 6: minute five and Nikoli Jokic not looking like himself. Michael

196
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:17,080
Speaker 6: Malone was subbing him in and out offense for defense,

197
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 6: playing him on offense and not on defense because he

198
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 6: had foul calls against him, and he got a couple

199
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:23,959
Speaker 6: at the end there and fouled out of the game,

200
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:28,080
Speaker 6: and obviously that was killer, and I think that hurt

201
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 6: Jokic's flow and it hurt the defensive rebounding, and so

202
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 6: I lumped those all together. Yeah, Lebron's going to get

203
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 6: the storylines, but really offensive rebounds. Yeah those stops as well,

204
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 6: and waltz into the rim you're not going to win.

205
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 6: So that came down to a few plays there, and yeah,

206
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 6: Jamal didn't score at the end, even though he had

207
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 6: a great game with thirty two. Jokic wasn't himself. Came

208
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,079
Speaker 6: down to those last few plays and Jamal didn't come

209
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 6: through and the Lakers, you know, it's a bit of that.

210
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 6: You've mentioned the big other little brother sort of ideas

211
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:03,439
Speaker 6: skeets with these two teams, and it kind of came

212
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:05,960
Speaker 6: down to that. It was it was, hey, we've been

213
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 6: here before. Are you gonna show up and you're gonna

214
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 6: make the place because I'll see you at the rim.

215
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:13,079
Speaker 6: See what the refs do. And they came out with the.

216
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 1: W Yeah, I mean, and we predicted that as well.

217
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:16,679
Speaker 1: We said Lebron at some point is going to be

218
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 1: put on Jamal Murray to try and slow him down.

219
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:20,199
Speaker 1: If Jamal Burray doesn't play in this game. Though it

220
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 1: has a bad game, it's a twenty point blowout, So yeah,

221
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 1: you're right. I mean, the thirty two, they needed every

222
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 1: single one of them. He kept them in the game

223
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:27,320
Speaker 1: in the first quarter that would have been a twenty

224
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 1: point lead for the Lakers. And here was Jamal Murray

225
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 1: hitting shot after shot after shot and matching Anthony Davis.

226
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:34,200
Speaker 1: But you're right, a lot of talk about the officiating

227
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 1: in this one, Leeley, and especially what happened after the

228
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:39,959
Speaker 1: game prior, where then Vogel and the Lakers are saying, hey, look,

229
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 1: Lebron James, He's only taken like ten free throws in

230
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 1: these first couple of games.

231
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:44,679
Speaker 2: What's going on here?

232
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 1: And then he gets to the line a lot here

233
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,839
Speaker 1: in last night's game, and the Nuggets not as much.

234
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 1: But was there something to this? Do you think you

235
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 1: know they were persuaded from what the Lakers sent in

236
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:58,560
Speaker 1: these tapes, these VHS tapes that they sent, Oh.

237
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:01,080
Speaker 2: They're maybe right? Or were you yeah yeah? Or were

238
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:01,440
Speaker 2: you not?

239
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 6: That?

240
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 1: Like, the officiating is not really the storyline from this game,

241
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:06,679
Speaker 1: like Tassa saying, hey, it's probably that you gave up

242
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 1: a ton of offensive rebounds, some key ones late when

243
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:11,439
Speaker 1: you had a chance and you just got killed twenty

244
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:13,200
Speaker 1: five to six and second chance points, where do you

245
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:13,679
Speaker 1: fall on that.

246
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:16,560
Speaker 4: Well, we'll find out in next the next game, because

247
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 4: Mike Malone apparently is now going to send in his

248
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 4: own tapes the NBA, so he wants to get a

249
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:22,680
Speaker 4: few foul cause. But for me, it was second chance

250
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:26,560
Speaker 4: points there and offensive rebounds that absolutely crushed the Nuggets

251
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:29,440
Speaker 4: because they got themselves to a position, like we've seen

252
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 4: a lot in this series, they seem to be a

253
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 4: better second half team, you know, where they just start

254
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:35,199
Speaker 4: to play better and the Lakers perhaps tire a little bit.

255
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:38,200
Speaker 4: They had their chances, but there were so many times

256
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 4: where they just couldn't quite secure that rebound, and the

257
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 4: Lakers got it and punish them for it. And that's

258
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 4: what an experienced team does, you know, That's what they did,

259
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:48,679
Speaker 4: because if you look again, Anthony Davis didn't actually have

260
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 4: another good rebounding game. He finished with five in the end,

261
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,319
Speaker 4: But it doesn't really matter. I mean, like you sort

262
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,080
Speaker 4: of expect, if you're going to out rebound a team,

263
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 4: it's probably going to come from your star big man.

264
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 4: But it wasn't. It was just all these other guys,

265
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 4: these veterans who have been around for a while, making

266
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:04,679
Speaker 4: sure that they secure the list ball and they give

267
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 4: their team those second opportunity to score. And that is

268
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:10,560
Speaker 4: really what an experienced team does better than an inexperienced team.

269
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:12,079
Speaker 4: And look, the Nuggets were in a little bit of

270
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 4: trouble because Yo Kich was in foul trouble, so he

271
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 4: wasn't out on the corn Millsap had it. Oh my god,

272
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 4: I felt sorry for Millsap the last night.

273
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 3: He's just got to get angry, Yeah, angry.

274
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 4: He had an awful game. And then you've got Michael Porter,

275
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:28,319
Speaker 4: who you know, defensively, I think Mike Malone was kind

276
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:31,080
Speaker 4: of alluding to him basically being terrible on defense. So

277
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 4: the Nuggets had Jamal Murray, who was brilliant I thought

278
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 4: this entire game. But other than that, all these other

279
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 4: guys tended to struggle. And that's what the Nuggets are

280
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 4: going to have to learn from this game is grab that,

281
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:43,960
Speaker 4: but you must secure the rebound. Pat Riley says, rebounds

282
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 4: equals rings, and that's really what it was last night.

283
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 4: And credit to Rondo again, you know, being being an

284
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:52,679
Speaker 4: adjutant getting there contesting those shots, making it difficult for

285
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 4: the Nuggets. So the Nuggets have got one chance left

286
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 4: here to correct those things. And they just have to

287
00:12:57,880 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 4: hit the glass. In Game five, and.

288
00:12:59,280 --> 00:12:59,960
Speaker 2: Vogel made a move.

289
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 1: When we're talking about all this rebounding starting Dwight Howard Tray,

290
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 1: you know, he gets to start over Jaal McGee and

291
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 1: made an impact right away. He had like four offensive

292
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:09,080
Speaker 1: rebounds and putbacks in the first what was it, eight

293
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 1: or nine minutes of the game.

294
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, he was crushing the glass. He was looking like

295
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 3: the biggest, baddest dude out there, and he didn't look

296
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:16,440
Speaker 3: like he was taking it over the edge to where

297
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:19,600
Speaker 3: he's trying to reenact scenes from Batman during the movie.

298
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 3: He was just hitting the glass and it really set

299
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 3: the tone for the Nuggets. Or I'm sorry for the

300
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 3: Lakers because Dwight didn't even really get a taste as

301
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 3: much in the second half, but the team was still

302
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:30,960
Speaker 3: hitting the glass, and when it came down to it,

303
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 3: the biggest offensive rebounds of the night for the Lakers

304
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 3: were from Davis Rondo and KCP. That can't happen when

305
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:39,440
Speaker 3: you're the Nuggets. You can't get out around, excuse me,

306
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 3: out rebounded by the small guys right like you got

307
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 3: to if you're getting out rebounded by Dwight Howard and

308
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:47,079
Speaker 3: Anthony Davis. That's understandable. But like Lee saying, you got

309
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 3: to finish those possessions, you can't be giving up clutch

310
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 3: offensive rebounds even if the Lakers aren't scoring, just because

311
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,320
Speaker 3: it extends the clock. I just I don't know. I

312
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:57,960
Speaker 3: just thought that the Nuggets didn't play well well enough

313
00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:01,440
Speaker 3: to win. Murray did. Obviously Lebron switching on to him

314
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 3: had an impact at the end of the game since

315
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:06,079
Speaker 3: it makes it tougher for Murray to finish over Lebron,

316
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:07,840
Speaker 3: and also Lebron is going to get the benefit of

317
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 3: the doubt on those foul calls. Yo Kich wasn't good enough,

318
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:13,400
Speaker 3: probably because he was taken out of his flow offensively

319
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 3: and he wasn't out there to help on the defensive glass.

320
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 3: But I would play Michael Porter Junior more. I know

321
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 3: Mike Malone might not think that his defense is great,

322
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 3: but Paul Millsaf's offense is so bad that the defense

323
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 3: really doesn't matter, and you got to have rebounds. Porter

324
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 3: hits the glass like there's a way to do it.

325
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 3: There's a way to get Michael Porter Junior on the

326
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:34,440
Speaker 3: floor to give you something impactful out there. Because I

327
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 3: don't know, there's just you know, four players basically on

328
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 3: the Nuggets yesterday were playing subpar games. And when you're

329
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 3: taking those four guys out of the rotation, what are

330
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 3: you supposed to do. You gotta have sterling performances from

331
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 3: Yo Kitchen Murray to have a chance, and then if

332
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 3: the rotation guys aren't doing anything, you're in trouble. So yeah,

333
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 3: Porter just gives them a little bit more of a

334
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 3: high ceiling. And I think he can contribute on the glass.

335
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 3: You know, he's been one of the better rebounders for

336
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 3: the Nuggets the entirety the series. He's gonna budget defensively,

337
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 3: but I'd rather have somebody else out there who can

338
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 3: score a basket.

339
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 4: That's the dilemma there, I think right now, or Mike Malone.

340
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 4: It's like Porter, can you know he hit three threes

341
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 4: last night, Like he's that important contributor for them offensively

342
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 4: and he can rebent trees one hundred percent right there.

343
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 4: But sometimes in defense he's just on on his own island.

344
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 4: He's just not even paying attention, and that's the problem.

345
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 1: It's like the kid when you were playing youth soccer

346
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 1: that was picking flowers. Yeah, the goalkeeper said that was

347
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 1: picking flowers in their net, and you're like, you're supposed

348
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 1: to be playing defense.

349
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 4: He's basically he basically needs to be engaged on the

350
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 4: possession with his man having the ball, and even then,

351
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 4: even then he still is kind of like, I don't

352
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 4: know what I'm really doing here. That's such a tough

353
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:42,360
Speaker 4: thing because Mills up, you know, defensively is a hundred

354
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 4: times better, but they're on the offensive end. I mean,

355
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 4: he just doesn't give you what Porter does, the options

356
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 4: that Porter does because that three we talked about it,

357
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:52,600
Speaker 4: you can't block it. Once he gets that three up

358
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 4: and he's good. He get a little pump fake. He

359
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 4: had a couple of those going last night, so they

360
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 4: need that punch offensively. But what is he going to

361
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 4: do defensive and how can he improve in a series

362
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 4: at the young age, It's very very hot to see.

363
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 3: It's really tough. Gary Harris and Paul Millsap, as Kendra

364
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 3: Andrews pointed out today on the Athletic combined to average

365
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 3: ten points per game on less than thirty percent shooting

366
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 3: so far, Mason Plumbley and Tory Craiger averaging a wopping

367
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 3: eight points. Plumbley was horrible, horrible last night. He was

368
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 3: so bad last night. It's the point where I think

369
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 3: Paul Millsap he's got to be basically the backup five

370
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 3: for the Nuggets. I don't think that Plumbley can see

371
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 3: the court in this next game. And you do want

372
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 3: to get Millsap's defense out there and the possibility that

373
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 3: he will have another fourteen point quarter or something like that.

374
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 3: But the bottom of the barrel is what it feels

375
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 3: like for the Nuggets right now, trying to figure out

376
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 3: how they can actually beat this Lakers team. Murray and

377
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 3: Jokic have been great. Who else is going to be

378
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 3: out there? Monte Morris had some nice moments last night,

379
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 3: but trustworthy, guys, it's a it's tough for Michael, but.

380
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 6: Really it comes down to that fourth quarter and Jokic

381
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 6: he wasn't even there. I mean, he didn't sit a

382
00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 6: second game, right him was scored the fourth quarter, right.

383
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 6: I just it was like, it's difficult to talk about

384
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 6: him because it was like he was invisible for a

385
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 6: lot of the game. And yeah, definitely the foul trouble

386
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:17,359
Speaker 6: hurt him and being yanked in and out of the lineup.

387
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 6: But when he's out there. He's got to get in

388
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:23,879
Speaker 6: the way of drives and that Lebron when I mentioned

389
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:26,440
Speaker 6: there with three point thirty left, that was killer just

390
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:28,880
Speaker 6: to get to the rim. And yeah, he was off

391
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:33,560
Speaker 6: the floor, you know for that the rebound for Rondo

392
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:38,280
Speaker 6: that got over Paul Millsap and he needed. This was

393
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 6: a really close game going into the fourth quarter. The

394
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:43,200
Speaker 6: Nuggets bench was disappointing in those first few minutes. Not

395
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:46,240
Speaker 6: sure what Mason Plumbley is doing trying to draw a

396
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:48,479
Speaker 6: foul Lebron James with his back to the basket.

397
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 4: What is that.

398
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:52,400
Speaker 6: That's not a Mason Plumbley play. The bench was disappointing.

399
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 6: The Lakers got into the game there it could have

400
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 6: been it could have gotten stretched by the Nuggets bench.

401
00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:02,160
Speaker 6: And then yeah, the superstar and Nicolai Jokic, he wasn't there.

402
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 6: That's what they desperately needed. They even got Montemore seven

403
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:08,720
Speaker 6: points from him in the fourth quarter making some nice

404
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:12,680
Speaker 6: moves out there. They just needed the joker to come

405
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 6: through and it didn't happen. I think Dwight Howard definitely

406
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 6: needs to be credited. Frank Vogel said he had a

407
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 6: nice chat with him before the game. He said, don't

408
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 6: be an a hole out there, don't be that overzelous,

409
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:28,119
Speaker 6: just trying to be rambunctious, you know, trying to get

410
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:31,359
Speaker 6: in Jokic's head. Just go out there and be a huge,

411
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:36,119
Speaker 6: monstrous obstacle for him, and it really really worked. Just

412
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:39,119
Speaker 6: just think of the Dwight that we've known over the

413
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:43,160
Speaker 6: last few years, calling for the ball, wanting the ball,

414
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 6: getting into postgame interviews and saying, I got to get

415
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:47,360
Speaker 6: the ball. I gotta get the ball. The dude had

416
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 6: five baskets. He didn't touch the ball in the post.

417
00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:55,000
Speaker 6: There are five baskets on offensive tip ins, just putbacks

418
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 6: all of them and then just getting into Jokic's face

419
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:02,159
Speaker 6: without saying, yeah, I'm the batman, you're the joker. A

420
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:06,920
Speaker 6: just being big and he only played twenty two minutes,

421
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:09,119
Speaker 6: but it really threw the joker off. I think, you know,

422
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 6: Paul millsaff needs to fight. I think Jokic would have

423
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:14,480
Speaker 6: liked it if Dwight was a little bit of a pest,

424
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 6: and that might have made the red face Joker a

425
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,679
Speaker 6: little bit more red faced, got him into the freaking

426
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 6: thing because he wasn't himself in this one.

427
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, Dwight Howard didn't even play in the fourth quarter,

428
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:27,399
Speaker 3: and he still had an impact because he drew so

429
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:29,679
Speaker 3: many fouls on Jokic earlier in the game that Jokic

430
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 3: was only able to play six minutes in the fourth quarter,

431
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:34,640
Speaker 3: and that was when we saw those huge offensive rebounds.

432
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:36,879
Speaker 3: That's when we saw the Nuggets having to go offense

433
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:39,000
Speaker 3: defense for their best player. That's a tough spot to

434
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 3: be in. I mean, Jokic can play defense, no doubt

435
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:43,239
Speaker 3: about it. But when you have five fouls and you're

436
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 3: trying to make a little bit of a comeback in

437
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 3: the last couple of minutes, you don't want to take

438
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 3: chances picking up that six foul on a box out

439
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:52,680
Speaker 3: or some random screen sort of play. Right, You gotta

440
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:54,639
Speaker 3: try and get the buckets. But Yokic wasn't able to

441
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:56,479
Speaker 3: get the buckets because he wasn't in the flow. From

442
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:58,639
Speaker 3: the entirety of the game. It was just a like

443
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:01,480
Speaker 3: compounding interest, right. Things just kept getting worse and worse

444
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:03,959
Speaker 3: because Jolkic couldn't get into that flow and with him

445
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 3: not getting into the flow, the Nuggets were struggling to score.

446
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:10,120
Speaker 3: But man, that's the benefit of having an Anthony Davis

447
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:12,240
Speaker 3: out there is that he can just take Yokic out.

448
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:12,440
Speaker 6: Of the game.

449
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:15,080
Speaker 3: Man, the guy is incredible, and he's an X factor

450
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:16,160
Speaker 3: for the Lakers at this point.

451
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:18,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean the guy started seven for seven from

452
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:20,160
Speaker 2: the floor. Yeah, he was embarrassing.

453
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 1: Whoever's on him was at Millsap and Yokich at times

454
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:25,399
Speaker 1: thirty four points ten to fifteen, shooting for ad thirteen

455
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:27,119
Speaker 1: to fourteen at the line. He got there a ton

456
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:30,879
Speaker 1: two along with Lebron. Yeah, you're right, he is oddly

457
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:33,639
Speaker 1: an X factor, which is so strange. I'll admit watching

458
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 1: this game though, especially like you said, at the end

459
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:37,400
Speaker 1: of the third quarter of the early I think Porter

460
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:40,199
Speaker 1: hit two threes, and even in the first half they

461
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:42,720
Speaker 1: were still close. I was like, Lakers are just letting

462
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:45,879
Speaker 1: the Nuggets stick around here, Like it feels like the

463
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 1: Lakers are really outplaying them because of all these offensive rebounds,

464
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:51,359
Speaker 1: like we're talking about the nice Dwight injection, all the

465
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 1: fouls for the star players on the Nuggets, and it

466
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:56,680
Speaker 1: was still really really close, and you're like, I don't

467
00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:57,639
Speaker 1: know this. You know.

468
00:20:57,800 --> 00:20:59,680
Speaker 2: Also, it also felt like a bit of a shootout at.

469
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 1: Times, and you're like, I don't know if the Lakers

470
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:02,840
Speaker 1: you want to get into like this sort of this

471
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:05,239
Speaker 1: idea to shootout with the Nuggets, that's probably not your

472
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 1: game plan. You know, you want to get some defensive

473
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:08,640
Speaker 1: stops and put your stamp on the game that way.

474
00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:10,479
Speaker 1: I kept thinking of the Nuggets, we're gonna win this thing.

475
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 4: I did.

476
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 1: But a part of that was, hey, they flipped the

477
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:17,600
Speaker 1: roles right. Reversal's role reversal here between Jokic and Murray.

478
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 1: A lot of the times we've seen in these playoff

479
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:21,480
Speaker 1: games are in the bubble. You know, at times Jokic

480
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 1: can sort of keep them in the game. He'll have

481
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 1: sort of dominant like quarters, first half, somewhat early and

482
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:28,359
Speaker 1: then Murray's maybe a bit more of a closer as

483
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:31,120
Speaker 1: a perimeter guy. But it was flipped around Murray keeping

484
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:32,640
Speaker 1: them in the game. Like I said, the only reason

485
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 1: they were in this thing was because of him, And

486
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:36,200
Speaker 1: I was like, Okay, if Yokic gets it going here

487
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 1: in the fourth, they got a chance. But I think

488
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 1: what you said there, Tray is important.

489
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:40,480
Speaker 2: The flow.

490
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 1: Yokic is such a flow player. It feels he's not

491
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 1: like obviously like a perimeter guy where it's like, hey, man,

492
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 1: you know, take this square peg and jam it in

493
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:52,440
Speaker 1: that circle hole.

494
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 2: Like he just he won't do that.

495
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:57,080
Speaker 1: That's not how he's wired. And really because of his

496
00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 1: body type and all that too, you can't really do

497
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 1: that with a guy like him. It's got to come

498
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:03,680
Speaker 1: within the offense and within the flow of everything. But

499
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:05,640
Speaker 1: when he's like, yeah, in and out because of foul

500
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:08,520
Speaker 1: trouble and stuff like that, that's not going to happen. So,

501
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:11,239
Speaker 1: you know, unfortunately for the Nuggets of course, falling down

502
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 1: through one or maybe it's fortunate, you know, no other

503
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 1: down three to one again, perfect but wild, wild stuff there.

504
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:17,760
Speaker 1: I love how Pelton put it too. With the Lakers

505
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:21,240
Speaker 1: second chances, it was like them chewing up clock like

506
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:24,120
Speaker 1: a football team, right grinding it out on first downs.

507
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 1: The Nuggets didn't have a defensive rebound defensive rebound in

508
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:30,360
Speaker 1: the final like four and a half minutes of this game. Yeah,

509
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:33,240
Speaker 1: that's crazy, Like I can't even think of the last

510
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:34,639
Speaker 1: time that happened. I'm sure it happens every once in

511
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:34,880
Speaker 1: a while.

512
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:35,639
Speaker 2: That is weird.

513
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:38,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I don't think they had a field goal

514
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:39,920
Speaker 4: in the last three minutes. I believe it was that

515
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,959
Speaker 4: they said on the three throws. Yeah, and I mean

516
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:45,199
Speaker 4: Murray again, like he'said, you know, when you look at

517
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:47,720
Speaker 4: that game with the incredible highlights that we saw from

518
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:49,639
Speaker 4: him and then getting to the free throw line and

519
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:51,480
Speaker 4: they showed that stat what he's shooting to in the

520
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 4: in the fourth quarters of the playoffs. I mean, he

521
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:57,320
Speaker 4: is just delivering for this team every single night. So

522
00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 4: you know, this series is certainly is fa ring the

523
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:02,400
Speaker 4: Lakers from here, of course it is. But I don't

524
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 4: think the Nuggets are out of it. I think I

525
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:05,400
Speaker 4: think they know there is zero.

526
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:07,120
Speaker 2: Chances the Nuggets are coming back to win this series.

527
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:10,000
Speaker 4: I don't know if the throw it down, but I

528
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:12,879
Speaker 4: think they realized though that this game, they had so

529
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 4: many bad things in this game. Sloppy defense, you know,

530
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:18,720
Speaker 4: no one really helping out Jamal Murray. They've got to

531
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:20,959
Speaker 4: be better and they can at least, you know, they

532
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:23,240
Speaker 4: can at least keep this game close, Game five close,

533
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:25,200
Speaker 4: and potentially drag it out a little bit longer. But

534
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:27,840
Speaker 4: I think as well, Lebron's looking at this going right now,

535
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:29,840
Speaker 4: you know, we've got to kill this team. We've got

536
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:32,679
Speaker 4: to bury them in Game five and not give them

537
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:35,200
Speaker 4: any life whatsoever. Because Lebron wants to get rest. He

538
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 4: doesn't want to be dragging this series out and playing

539
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,280
Speaker 4: a long series. He wants to get ready for the finals.

540
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:42,639
Speaker 4: So it's probably over. But I think the Nuggets, man,

541
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:43,879
Speaker 4: they are going to look at the tape of this

542
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 4: one and Michael Malone is just going to be like,

543
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 4: look at these second chances we gave. Look at how

544
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 4: many opportunities this team got that if we secure that

545
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:53,840
Speaker 4: rebound or we don't make a terrible pass at the

546
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:55,919
Speaker 4: other end, maybe it's two two.

547
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:57,920
Speaker 2: But it's not, Yeah, I'd agree with that.

548
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,159
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's unfortunately the Nuggets don't win this

549
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:02,800
Speaker 1: game because we would have been starting with, Hey, what

550
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:04,520
Speaker 1: was the craziest Jamal Murray shot?

551
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:05,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, hit last night.

552
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:07,440
Speaker 1: I mean, I think we're all gonna likely go with

553
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:12,680
Speaker 1: the borderline iconic reverse layup up and under Lebron or whatever.

554
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:15,680
Speaker 1: But there was also that crazy left handed leaner on

555
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:18,119
Speaker 1: Rondo that was wild, the spin in that push, and

556
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:21,560
Speaker 1: then you had that shot little put floater over ed.

557
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 2: I think it was.

558
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:24,160
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know which one you pick again,

559
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:28,639
Speaker 1: probably the Mglake one, which was goddamn amazingly. You had

560
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 1: that up so quick, man, I did.

561
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:33,159
Speaker 4: I did. I was in the virtual crowd last night too,

562
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:34,920
Speaker 4: actually for NBA Australia.

563
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 2: No.

564
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:37,720
Speaker 4: The reason I'll bring that up is because I timed it.

565
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:40,879
Speaker 4: We were forty seconds ahead of the TV broadcast. So

566
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:43,480
Speaker 4: I saw this and I was like, oh my god,

567
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:45,480
Speaker 4: this is incredible. I got to get this baby up

568
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:46,800
Speaker 4: before people have even seen it.

569
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:50,440
Speaker 6: That must be weird for Australians to be ahead of

570
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:50,920
Speaker 6: the curve.

571
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 2: So hold on, you were in the virtual crowd. Yes,

572
00:24:57,920 --> 00:24:58,880
Speaker 2: you're on the virtual board.

573
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I we were at center court, they said.

574
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:04,159
Speaker 4: But I think we're actually at the ends because I

575
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:07,159
Speaker 4: think they have the Lakers and the Nuggets fans, you know,

576
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:09,240
Speaker 4: on the TV sides. I think we're there anyway. People

577
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:11,800
Speaker 4: have put a few photos up there. Oh yeah, I was.

578
00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:14,359
Speaker 4: I was lounging at one part, so I don't know

579
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:16,720
Speaker 4: how cool you were laying down. Well, I was like,

580
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:17,960
Speaker 4: I was on the couch and I was kind of

581
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:20,680
Speaker 4: like leaning like that. So but I will say it's

582
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:22,879
Speaker 4: it's it's you know, it's a fun experience, something a

583
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 4: little bit different, but a little bit annoying because people

584
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:27,440
Speaker 4: have got the chat going, like the verbal chat. So

585
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:31,399
Speaker 4: you've got Lakers fans, they're just going crazy over every

586
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:32,200
Speaker 4: single play.

587
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:33,400
Speaker 2: So it's the hell.

588
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:35,639
Speaker 4: Well, I did have to mute it towards the end

589
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 4: of the game. That's two minutes in the first quarter.

590
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:41,360
Speaker 4: But no, no, like it was a fun experience. But yeah,

591
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 4: that Murray lay up. I mean when you see the

592
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:47,440
Speaker 4: slow mo, he's going up and he puts it, I know,

593
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:50,159
Speaker 4: and then he just on the other side of the

594
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:54,240
Speaker 4: hoop spins it in just incredible stuff. But we see

595
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 4: this kind of stuff from him, maybe not that extreme,

596
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 4: but we see these hangtime moves from him all the time.

597
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:01,040
Speaker 4: He's he's incredibly athletic.

598
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 3: He's got a great package, great finishing package. And it's

599
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 3: that's why you watch basketball man, to have those moments

600
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:08,800
Speaker 3: that take your breath away right where you're like what

601
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:11,600
Speaker 3: And yeah, the slow mo was great, but I thought

602
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 3: the fast mo is the way to watch it to

603
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:16,960
Speaker 3: see how fast, Yes, he whips that ball from his

604
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:18,399
Speaker 3: right hand to his left hand, then right back to

605
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 3: his right hand to finish on the right side of

606
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:23,040
Speaker 3: the hoop. It's majestic watching it in slow motion, but

607
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:26,800
Speaker 3: on inspiring watching it in fast motion to see him

608
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:29,119
Speaker 3: move his arms that fast. I feel like it's impossible

609
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:32,119
Speaker 3: to move your arms that fast. Just he's had a

610
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:35,119
Speaker 3: number of great finishes in the playoffs in the bubble,

611
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:37,479
Speaker 3: it's going to be an awesome highlight package. When all

612
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:38,560
Speaker 3: of sudden done Trey, I.

613
00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:40,320
Speaker 2: Thought he air bowled it in real time.

614
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:42,840
Speaker 1: It was crazy, wis it went in like from that

615
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:45,399
Speaker 1: from you know, the game camera angle is like what

616
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 1: he's doing. You're like, huh, what happened there? And then

617
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:50,200
Speaker 1: they're celebrating like that went in, and then you see yeah,

618
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:52,240
Speaker 1: the replace tasks and then you're like, spin's crazy.

619
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:55,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, And kudos tou Lee for getting it up. But

620
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:57,920
Speaker 6: I got to give it to Worldwide WOB for putting

621
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:01,960
Speaker 6: up the split screen with the MJ play that everybody

622
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:05,600
Speaker 6: compares every play to when a guy switches hands, the

623
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:09,479
Speaker 6: one against the Lakers, but the actual proper one against

624
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 6: the New Jersey nets. He goes by draws and Petrovitch

625
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:14,760
Speaker 6: and Derek Coleman's underneath, and then the token white guy

626
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:17,520
Speaker 6: I don't know who it is, gets scored on, but

627
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:20,480
Speaker 6: it's the exact same thing, and so it's.

628
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:21,200
Speaker 4: Hard not to use it.

629
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:24,240
Speaker 3: I don't think for Chris Tugley.

630
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:27,639
Speaker 6: He's not. He's not as portly a Dudley. He's a

631
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:29,719
Speaker 6: little bit skinnier, So I don't think it's a Dudley,

632
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 6: but that is.

633
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:31,840
Speaker 2: The right comparison.

634
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 6: More of a brass.

635
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:33,200
Speaker 2: It's that one.

636
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:35,439
Speaker 1: It's not the one in the finals versus the Lakers

637
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 1: where for no real reason, just switch his hands. It

638
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:40,080
Speaker 1: looks cool and you see it in all the commercials

639
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:42,119
Speaker 1: with MJ. But yeah, it's that other one is amazing.

640
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:45,040
Speaker 6: It is. And I totally forgot about these new jersey nets,

641
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 6: sheeny jerseys who like goodness, they're crazy. They're like wild pajamas. Yeah,

642
00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:56,520
Speaker 6: they're they're they're nuts, worldwide. Great stuff there, it was.

643
00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:00,520
Speaker 6: That's a freaking highlight. And you mentioned the pack. That's

644
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:03,439
Speaker 6: if he's got three rounds, a pack of highlights here

645
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:06,520
Speaker 6: that Jamal Murray's put together and and the NBA is

646
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:09,880
Speaker 6: tweeting it out. I can't believe how many he's got,

647
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:13,960
Speaker 6: Like the beauty spins, that's that's Jay Skeet's favorite move

648
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,520
Speaker 6: when he's playing, hanging in the air for the layout.

649
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:19,399
Speaker 6: It's three rounds and he's got it all, man, he is.

650
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:23,040
Speaker 3: We're talking about the perfect package. Three point zero.

651
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:26,680
Speaker 1: I mean Trey had Trey had the what's app going

652
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:27,480
Speaker 1: off last night?

653
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:28,120
Speaker 2: With this one?

654
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:34,399
Speaker 1: The the start bench and cut Devin Booker, right, Jamal

655
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:36,200
Speaker 1: Murray and Tyler hero.

656
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:40,480
Speaker 2: Leally have a go at that one. Start Bencher cut

657
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:43,400
Speaker 2: those three Booker, Murray, Hero.

658
00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 4: Well, definitely starting Jamal Murray. Okay, Benching, I'm gonna leave

659
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:49,680
Speaker 4: in the moment.

660
00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:57,840
Speaker 3: I love it, I love it, But come on, come on, skates.

661
00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:00,760
Speaker 3: Let me pull up Devin Booker's playoff stats real quick.

662
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:06,640
Speaker 1: What what Devin Booker would be averaging what Tyler hero

663
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:08,640
Speaker 1: did in one game if his squad could have got

664
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:08,959
Speaker 1: in there.

665
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:11,240
Speaker 3: I guess I'll have to finish over five hundred sometimes

666
00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:13,440
Speaker 3: and one of these days, one of these days, I mean,

667
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 3: they should have been.

668
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 2: In, man, there should have been in the bubble, man,

669
00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:19,600
Speaker 2: How could you stay perfect? Did not make the playoffs? Yeah,

670
00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:21,240
Speaker 2: that was a good one there. Trade. I was like,

671
00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:24,360
Speaker 2: I don't know, man, I don't know. But then we

672
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:26,840
Speaker 2: all agreed everyone would want to have sex with Booker.

673
00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:30,280
Speaker 3: Well, I don't know, I don't know. I was saying

674
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:33,000
Speaker 3: he's very, very handsome. But then Lebron right after the game,

675
00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:35,239
Speaker 3: says Jamal Murray's one of the hottest guys we got

676
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:36,000
Speaker 3: left in the bubble.

677
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:39,960
Speaker 2: Come on, they're all fairly handsome guys.

678
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 3: I would say that you're totally right. But I will say,

679
00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:45,360
Speaker 3: to me, Tyler, hero looks like his name should be Brad.

680
00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:51,440
Speaker 3: His name would be Brad, Brad Tyler, Brad Tyler.

681
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 1: Sure back to that to your the MJ highlight that

682
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:57,800
Speaker 1: you're talking about their task that world wob had up

683
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:00,360
Speaker 1: the best description of that play.

684
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 6: I saw.

685
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:04,520
Speaker 1: If someone says, MG does a eurostep in mid air

686
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:08,840
Speaker 1: somehow between like those three guys, and it's like pretty

687
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:12,000
Speaker 1: spot on. It's like somehow contorts his body while he's

688
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:14,719
Speaker 1: in the air to somehow shift around people like how

689
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:15,280
Speaker 1: do you do that?

690
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:17,959
Speaker 2: And then the amazing finish. I love that. I love

691
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 2: that play.

692
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:21,400
Speaker 1: But Murray's is Murray's is right there. I mean, if

693
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:23,080
Speaker 1: they win this game, or if it's in the finals

694
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:24,400
Speaker 1: and then you went on to win a title, like

695
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:27,800
Speaker 1: that's iconic. I mean, that's just iconic. It will probably

696
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:32,520
Speaker 1: get lost a little bit, you know, to what how

697
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:36,480
Speaker 1: would you describe it just to the time trying to

698
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:39,840
Speaker 1: say history, Yes, that's what I'm going for, just because

699
00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 1: of when it happened in a loss and whatever. But

700
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:44,440
Speaker 1: still that's one of the greatest layups I've ever seen

701
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:47,240
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. That's not hyperble, I mean it really is, right.

702
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:49,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean in terms of actual layups that Doctor

703
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:52,640
Speaker 4: J went against the Lakers is also crazy hangtime on that,

704
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:55,200
Speaker 4: you know, coming from a different angle. But that's another

705
00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 4: one I would compare it to in terms of that

706
00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 4: just that wow factor. Anyway, Yeah, yeah.

707
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:02,720
Speaker 6: And diced Eric here in the comments went back and

708
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 6: looked at it. Apparently it is Chris Dudley get the

709
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:11,200
Speaker 6: score on. Wow. What Chris Dudley was not. It was

710
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:13,360
Speaker 6: a little less portly. He was a little less Jared

711
00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:17,120
Speaker 6: Dudley and more like Sean Bradley once upon a time,

712
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 6: the skin you rushing Chris Dudley catching strays.

713
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:25,960
Speaker 2: So so I said, this is a rap.

714
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:27,800
Speaker 1: I don't believe the Nuggets can do this again. They're

715
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:30,719
Speaker 1: gonna be facing elimination for the seventh time in the bubble. Well,

716
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:33,240
Speaker 1: when I said that, I saw some of your faces going,

717
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 1: whoa easy, there, skeets.

718
00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:36,360
Speaker 2: Again, this is three one. This is what they do.

719
00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:40,560
Speaker 1: Does anyone truly believe the Nuggets can do this once again?

720
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:43,880
Speaker 1: For the third time, come back and somehow get themselves

721
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:46,120
Speaker 1: to the NBA Finals by winning three straight versus Lakers.

722
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:48,760
Speaker 6: I don't think they can win three straight, no, but

723
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:52,160
Speaker 6: I do think they can still win a game here,

724
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:54,080
Speaker 6: and I think that's kind of important. This game was

725
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:56,960
Speaker 6: really close down to the wire. They did have five

726
00:31:57,080 --> 00:31:59,800
Speaker 6: guys in double digits. It wasn't a terrible game for

727
00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:03,840
Speaker 6: the Jeremy Grant had seventeen Porter and Morris off the

728
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:07,520
Speaker 6: bench with double digits. These guys aren't falling asleep out there.

729
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:12,320
Speaker 6: And you mentioned losing a play to history. I do

730
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:15,440
Speaker 6: want this to sort of go down in history as

731
00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:18,560
Speaker 6: a series where the team that loses wins at least

732
00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:21,720
Speaker 6: a couple games, because if it's a gentlemanly for to

733
00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:25,400
Speaker 6: one sweep, it's looked at as not a close series, right,

734
00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:29,960
Speaker 6: and a sixer is always respectable. You lose two games.

735
00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:33,800
Speaker 6: And I've mentioned this in comparison to the Blazers last year,

736
00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:36,320
Speaker 6: and I know we had a lot of debates about

737
00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:38,840
Speaker 6: the Blazers going out in the postseason and on the starters.

738
00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:43,440
Speaker 6: We discussed if the Blazers were an actual contender going

739
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:46,840
Speaker 6: into next year and different because they all got injured.

740
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:50,960
Speaker 6: I would tend to think that they could have been.

741
00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:54,120
Speaker 6: It's all what you defined as a contender. But this team, clearly,

742
00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:57,600
Speaker 6: the Nuggets, is their contender next year no matter what.

743
00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 6: They're that good and I'd like to see them sort

744
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:04,000
Speaker 6: of in a different class even and then the Blazers

745
00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:06,160
Speaker 6: were last year because they should be respected. They've got

746
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:08,440
Speaker 6: two superstars playing at a different level. I think it's

747
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:11,800
Speaker 6: it's different than what the Blazers did beating the Spur

748
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:15,120
Speaker 6: or beating I'm sorry the Nuggets in that second round

749
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:17,480
Speaker 6: last year and then getting swept by the Warriors. The

750
00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:19,520
Speaker 6: Nuggets have been very, very good.

751
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:22,840
Speaker 4: I'm going to take the coaches out here and say,

752
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:24,440
Speaker 4: I'm taking a one game at a time, and I

753
00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:26,520
Speaker 4: think the Nuggets win Game five. That's as far as

754
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:28,360
Speaker 4: I'm prepared to go right now. I hope they win.

755
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:30,600
Speaker 4: I'm pulling for them, I'm cheering forul and they deserve

756
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:32,920
Speaker 4: to at least play at least two more games yet

757
00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:34,920
Speaker 4: because they've been incredible to watch. And I go back

758
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:37,600
Speaker 4: still to that first series. Basically we were talking about

759
00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:40,160
Speaker 4: the eulogy of them after they were down three to

760
00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:41,440
Speaker 4: one to the Jazz, and it was like, you know,

761
00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:44,000
Speaker 4: tassaying they're a great team. You know, next year they're

762
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:45,600
Speaker 4: going to be great, and I agree with what we've

763
00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:47,719
Speaker 4: seen recently. But after that first round is like they

764
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:50,000
Speaker 4: can't play defense and they just need some more help.

765
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:52,440
Speaker 4: They don't have enough. And now it's like maybe this

766
00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:54,640
Speaker 4: team is big time actually, you know, because they've got

767
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:58,160
Speaker 4: their superstars. They've got two superstars right now, so hopefully

768
00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:00,080
Speaker 4: they can keep this thing going because it's been so

769
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:03,040
Speaker 4: much fun to watch and Jamal Murray has been incredible,

770
00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:05,840
Speaker 4: and I just I like Mike Malone there on the side.

771
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:07,920
Speaker 4: He's fighting hard for his team. He's never giving up.

772
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:10,680
Speaker 4: And I want to see the Nuggets extend this series.

773
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:13,759
Speaker 4: So give me the Nuggets in Game five, Okay, Okay,

774
00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:14,800
Speaker 4: and Trey, what do you think.

775
00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:16,200
Speaker 2: One more win?

776
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:18,200
Speaker 3: That's what I think the Nuggets are gonna get in

777
00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:21,160
Speaker 3: this series. People are comparing them to the twenty thirteen

778
00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:23,840
Speaker 3: Warriors who went in the six game series against the

779
00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:25,480
Speaker 3: Spurs and and kind of put the Warriors on the

780
00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:30,880
Speaker 3: map as a potential championship contender down the line. Right

781
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:34,160
Speaker 3: you saw Steph Curry and Klay Thompson having great playoff series,

782
00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:37,280
Speaker 3: and that's what you're seeing from Yokichen Murray. They probably

783
00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:41,120
Speaker 3: aren't gonna be winning the championship this year taking incredible

784
00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:44,000
Speaker 3: comeback for the third time. You know, we've seen a

785
00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:45,839
Speaker 3: lot of jokes about the Nuggets have them right where

786
00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:48,239
Speaker 3: they want them. The Lakers literally have them right where

787
00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:50,160
Speaker 3: they want them. Lebron has never lost a three to

788
00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:52,719
Speaker 3: one lead in the playoffs, So the Nuggets are in trouble,

789
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:55,719
Speaker 3: but they cannot be beaten easily and they're not going

790
00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:59,040
Speaker 3: to give up. So I would imagine I would image

791
00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:02,399
Speaker 3: in a game five win for Denver and LA takes

792
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:05,319
Speaker 3: it in six. But who knows, maybe they get hot.

793
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:08,120
Speaker 3: Maybe we have see a fifty point game from Jamal Murray.

794
00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:10,640
Speaker 3: They haven't really had an answer for him, and Lebron's

795
00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:12,160
Speaker 3: not gonna be able to guard him for the entirety

796
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:13,880
Speaker 3: of the game. This is a series where the Lakers

797
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:16,959
Speaker 3: are actually missing Avery Bradley a little, so I would

798
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:18,399
Speaker 3: love to see Murray catch fire again.

799
00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:18,960
Speaker 2: Yeah.

800
00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:21,719
Speaker 1: My counter to that is, I think we're finally at

801
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:23,959
Speaker 1: one of these points, be a game you know, five,

802
00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:26,839
Speaker 1: game six, game seven, if there is one. Lebron James

803
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 1: has been garbage at shooting to basketball and it's got

804
00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:32,160
Speaker 1: overlooked a little bit because they keep you know, winning

805
00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:33,719
Speaker 1: their up three one of course, and he's doing other

806
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:35,480
Speaker 1: things because he's a Lebron, but he can't hit a

807
00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:37,799
Speaker 1: jump shot or three really to save his life. Right now,

808
00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:40,720
Speaker 1: one of these games he's going to because it happens

809
00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:43,040
Speaker 1: with him where he suddenly, you know, catches fire and

810
00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:44,840
Speaker 1: it feels little more comfortable, he's a little more balanced,

811
00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:46,680
Speaker 1: got a little more juice in the legs, whatever it is,

812
00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:50,080
Speaker 1: and it starts going down. And if that starts to happen,

813
00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:52,520
Speaker 1: then the Nuggets are really in trouble because right now,

814
00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:55,320
Speaker 1: any possession that ends in a in a Lebron jumper

815
00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:57,759
Speaker 1: is like, whoa, that's a win. Hey, all right, well

816
00:35:57,800 --> 00:35:59,200
Speaker 1: maybe not you got to get the rebound, but you

817
00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:02,360
Speaker 1: know what I mean, that's that's a You'll take that

818
00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:05,000
Speaker 1: any day of the week. Lebron obviously taking a you know,

819
00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:06,879
Speaker 1: one of his little patent is sort of fading type

820
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:08,759
Speaker 1: jumpers because he can't hit a shot.

821
00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:10,719
Speaker 2: Right now. The numbers are crazy. I know. Ziller was

822
00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:12,919
Speaker 2: writing about it in his newsletter this morning. It's it's bad.

823
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:14,920
Speaker 1: And last night I think was another like one for

824
00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:18,040
Speaker 1: nine sort of fifteen plus feet and out. But but

825
00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:20,919
Speaker 1: Lebron one of these games again, five or six, let's

826
00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:23,480
Speaker 1: say he will start knocking those down. I just you

827
00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:26,040
Speaker 1: can just see it coming, and that's gonna be trouble

828
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:27,839
Speaker 1: for the Nuggets. But I hope you guys are right.

829
00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:29,800
Speaker 1: I hope it keeps going a little bit longer because

830
00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:32,040
Speaker 1: the Nuggets are a fun team to root for. Obviously

831
00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:34,480
Speaker 1: love watching Jamal Murray play, and I hope Yo kich

832
00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:37,440
Speaker 1: And when he's been in elimination games before that is

833
00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:39,320
Speaker 1: a guy that's sort of taken his game to the

834
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:42,200
Speaker 1: next level. Like his numbers are unreal in elimination games,

835
00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:44,719
Speaker 1: and he's just got to be special. I don't care

836
00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:47,239
Speaker 1: who's out there starting, if it's Dwight or Javail or

837
00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:48,960
Speaker 1: they go to Anthony Davis at the five.

838
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:51,360
Speaker 2: On him, he has to have a monster game. He

839
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:51,759
Speaker 2: needs to.

840
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:54,759
Speaker 1: You got to see him a little bit more, going

841
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:57,200
Speaker 1: to work inside task I think too, like throwing around

842
00:36:57,239 --> 00:36:59,640
Speaker 1: that wait a little bit more and putting pressure on

843
00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:02,239
Speaker 1: the to get some whistles on some of those Lakers guys,

844
00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:04,319
Speaker 1: because he can do that. But yeah, this one he's

845
00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:06,520
Speaker 1: sort of was because of like we talked about in

846
00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:08,400
Speaker 1: and out of it. He was just sort of floating

847
00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:11,080
Speaker 1: around out there a little bit. So you hope to

848
00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:12,600
Speaker 1: see him sort of locked in from the jump, I

849
00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:14,440
Speaker 1: think in this elimination game.

850
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:17,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, he's got to use his juice, he's got to

851
00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:19,359
Speaker 6: use his skill. He's got to have Lee saying after

852
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:23,239
Speaker 6: game five he was throwing that big body around. That's

853
00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:27,040
Speaker 6: the most important thing. That is his number one attribute

854
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:29,920
Speaker 6: that he can do that and then show off how

855
00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:32,680
Speaker 6: skilled he is in there. Yeah, it just wasn't happening

856
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:36,880
Speaker 6: in this one. It just it was disappointing from all

857
00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:39,160
Speaker 6: those people out there that tune in to see Nikola

858
00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:41,520
Speaker 6: jokicch work from the three point line and then he

859
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:44,279
Speaker 6: could have got Chris Webber and Reggie Miller salivating on

860
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:47,359
Speaker 6: the call. But it just didn't happen. It wasn't right,

861
00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:50,600
Speaker 6: It wasn't wasn't a proper game from the Joker.

862
00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:52,319
Speaker 1: All right, Well, we got to take a quick break

863
00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:53,880
Speaker 1: here to hear from our sponsors. But then we got

864
00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:56,520
Speaker 1: a little is this news, guys, whatever line of work

865
00:37:56,560 --> 00:37:59,160
Speaker 1: you're in, writing is part of getting the job done.

866
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:01,719
Speaker 1: I host a podcast and it feels like, oh I

867
00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:05,800
Speaker 1: do sometimes to send emails. Grammarly helps make sure that

868

00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:11,800
Speaker 1: are polished and professional. And the best part, in my opinion,

870
00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:16,280
Speaker 1: is it works everywhere you do. I love the Google

871
00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:18,399

903
00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:01,040
Speaker 4: Is this news? This is right?

904
00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:03,080
Speaker 1: Just throw the headline at you guys and ask you

905
00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:06,160
Speaker 1: is this actually news? First one ESPN he coached, Eric

906
00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:09,640
Speaker 1: Spolstra says bam Adebayo good to go for Game five

907
00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:11,560
Speaker 1: tonight against the Celtics Trey.

908
00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:12,279
Speaker 2: Is this news?

909
00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:15,799
Speaker 3: Sort of, it's not really news. It seemed like bam

910
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:18,880
Speaker 3: was probably going to play after Game four, but now

911
00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:21,640
Speaker 3: we just know for sure. Eric Spolster said he's just

912
00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:24,080
Speaker 3: got a lot of ice on his body. That's where

913
00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:27,239
Speaker 3: we're at right now. Everybody's earning their ice, so I

914
00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:29,400
Speaker 3: guess he earned his ice and things are going to

915
00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:30,799
Speaker 3: be all good. This is good news for the Heat

916
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:33,600
Speaker 3: that he's already ready, which means if they advanced to

917
00:40:33,640 --> 00:40:36,520
Speaker 3: the NBA Finals, they're not worrying about rehabbing him and

918
00:40:36,560 --> 00:40:39,160
Speaker 3: getting him ready to play. They're just working on playing

919
00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:41,840
Speaker 3: whoever they got to face in the finals. And for me,

920
00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:44,480
Speaker 3: it doesn't change a whole lot for the Celtics because

921
00:40:44,640 --> 00:40:46,759
Speaker 3: Bam has been running wild out there. It doesn't seem

922
00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:49,000
Speaker 3: like they have an answer for him. Regardless. The Celtics

923
00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:51,239
Speaker 3: just need to play better and worry about their own

924
00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:53,839
Speaker 3: selves rather than trying to take Bam out of the game,

925
00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:56,920
Speaker 3: because they've just been brutal in fourth quarters. The turnovers

926
00:40:56,960 --> 00:40:59,480
Speaker 3: have been insane, and you know, they just need to

927
00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:03,000
Speaker 3: be a little bit more committed to effort and to

928
00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:06,840
Speaker 3: execution and attention to detail. And that has more to

929
00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:08,920
Speaker 3: do with Boston side of things than having to worry

930
00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:11,120
Speaker 3: about Bam. It'd be a lot easier for Boston to

931
00:41:11,160 --> 00:41:12,880
Speaker 3: pull up this comeback if Bam was out for the

932
00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:14,879
Speaker 3: rest of the series. No doubt about it, but yeah,

933
00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:16,560
Speaker 3: they got to take care of themselves first.

934
00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:19,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, BAM's Conference finals I think are being overlooked a

935
00:41:19,600 --> 00:41:23,520
Speaker 1: little bit here because of Drags being great, Tyler Herro

936
00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:26,640
Speaker 1: doing heroic things, Jimmy Butler, you know in his big

937
00:41:26,719 --> 00:41:29,800
Speaker 1: face coffee. Bam is averaging forty minutes per game in

938
00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:32,319
Speaker 1: these conference finals, twenty one and a half points per game,

939
00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:35,719
Speaker 1: eleven boards, four and a half assists, two steals, and

940
00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:38,160
Speaker 1: one point three blocks per game, shooting over sixty percent

941
00:41:38,239 --> 00:41:40,640
Speaker 1: from the floor, and getting to the line nearly eight

942
00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:43,480
Speaker 1: times per game. Ley, That's damn good. Now, I know

943
00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:46,000
Speaker 1: this guy was already an All Star, but again, am

944
00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:48,359
Speaker 1: I crazy? It is like we haven't talked a ton

945
00:41:48,480 --> 00:41:51,000
Speaker 1: about him because again, a lot of the attention has

946
00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:52,960
Speaker 1: gone to some of these other guys, especially the guards.

947
00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:55,319
Speaker 4: No, he has been incredible, and you mentioned the assist there,

948
00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:57,840
Speaker 4: Like he is a smart pasa. He understands he can

949
00:41:57,880 --> 00:41:59,520
Speaker 4: get there and he can follow it after those guys,

950
00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:01,560
Speaker 4: and he knows he's got a good three point shooters

951
00:42:01,560 --> 00:42:03,640
Speaker 4: around and so he can find those guys. And that's

952
00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:05,000
Speaker 4: what I think makes it a little bit tough as

953
00:42:05,040 --> 00:42:07,160
Speaker 4: well for the Celtics because He's not just a guy

954
00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:08,680
Speaker 4: who you have to stick in the post and that's

955
00:42:08,719 --> 00:42:11,200
Speaker 4: the only move he moves himself around on the offense

956
00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:14,080
Speaker 4: and he can facilitate. And that injury looked awful. It

957
00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:16,400
Speaker 4: almost looked like he dislocated his shoulder or something the

958
00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:19,200
Speaker 4: way he was like letting it hang in game four there.

959
00:42:19,239 --> 00:42:21,360
Speaker 4: But fortunately it's all good. And it is his offhand,

960
00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:23,800
Speaker 4: which does make a difference, I think, so you know,

961
00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:26,439
Speaker 4: if he's going to be rebounding and shooting, that hand

962
00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:28,359
Speaker 4: should still be okay, even if he is a little

963
00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:30,279
Speaker 4: bit bothered still and a little bit sore going into

964
00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:33,720
Speaker 4: tonight's game. But yeah, he's been great. And I remember

965
00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:36,040
Speaker 4: last year on the Heat how big they were on

966
00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:39,040
Speaker 4: him when they still had Whiteside, and then they pretty

967
00:42:39,120 --> 00:42:41,480
Speaker 4: quickly were like, I mean, you know, Whiteside is a

968
00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:44,720
Speaker 4: polarizing player at the best times anyway, But his growth

969
00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:48,160
Speaker 4: to this level and his development has probably been ahead

970
00:42:48,160 --> 00:42:49,120
Speaker 4: of schedule. I'm sure of it.

971
00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:51,279
Speaker 2: Yeah. No, I mean it is good news too.

972
00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:55,960
Speaker 1: Task he didn't undergo additional testing right on whatever is

973
00:42:56,040 --> 00:42:58,160
Speaker 1: hurting him, because they even asked of like, what's wrong,

974
00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:01,080
Speaker 1: and I think they just said, like it's his whole arm,

975
00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:05,600
Speaker 1: his elbow, his rists, like they didn't give like a

976
00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:08,880
Speaker 1: specific body part. So I guess that's good, right.

977
00:43:09,160 --> 00:43:11,560
Speaker 6: I don't know, well, I think it's some gamesmanship. I

978
00:43:11,600 --> 00:43:13,520
Speaker 6: think they're being smart. They know they don't want to

979
00:43:13,800 --> 00:43:17,680
Speaker 6: Marcus Morris going after Luka Doncic's ankle situation. Where where

980
00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:21,440
Speaker 6: are you gonna karate chop bam Adebayo right now is

981
00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:23,520
Speaker 6: at the risk of the elbow, the shoulder. You don't know.

982
00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:27,080
Speaker 6: It's really it's multiple spots. Because Eric Spolstro was asked,

983
00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:29,560
Speaker 6: He's like, it's all over the place. Don't don't, don't

984
00:43:29,640 --> 00:43:32,720
Speaker 6: try and nail down one spot. I'm not not a dummy.

985
00:43:33,440 --> 00:43:36,000
Speaker 6: Real GM said he injured his wrist in game three

986
00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:38,840
Speaker 6: and aggravated in Game four. So I don't know if

987
00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:40,600
Speaker 6: they're being real GM about it or if it's a

988
00:43:40,640 --> 00:43:43,680
Speaker 6: fake GM. If it's a wrist, where's a wrist injury?

989
00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:46,400
Speaker 6: I don't even know. I mean strained his wrist. It

990
00:43:46,520 --> 00:43:49,560
Speaker 6: looked more like a like Lisa had a shoulder, but

991
00:43:49,640 --> 00:43:51,960
Speaker 6: he was I felt like an elbow to me, like

992
00:43:52,040 --> 00:43:55,839
Speaker 6: a hyper extension. But who the heck knows body language doctor,

993
00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:59,120
Speaker 6: it's his left arm and he is an incredible player.

994
00:43:59,239 --> 00:44:02,200
Speaker 6: He's a guy who's going to get a max or

995
00:44:02,360 --> 00:44:07,560
Speaker 6: near max for doing all the things that coaches absolutely love.

996
00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:10,680
Speaker 6: And it's hard not to look forward to the NBA

997
00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:13,960
Speaker 6: Finals potentially where he'll be guarding Anthony Davis and be

998
00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:17,680
Speaker 6: a deterrent ti Lebron James going to the rim. He's

999
00:44:17,760 --> 00:44:20,040
Speaker 6: that good and he's that important on the offensive end too.

1000
00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:23,279
Speaker 6: He can literally, you know, he can't shoot the three,

1001
00:44:23,440 --> 00:44:25,759
Speaker 6: but he can do everything else on a basketball floor,

1002
00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:31,240
Speaker 6: within the paint, and then on the defensive end. He's

1003
00:44:31,280 --> 00:44:32,719
Speaker 6: awesome and he doesn't get talked about.

1004
00:44:33,560 --> 00:44:39,239
Speaker 1: Next headline here, so quickie NBC Sports Buddy healed Fuels

1005
00:44:39,600 --> 00:44:41,600
Speaker 1: seventy six ers trade rumor?

1006
00:44:42,440 --> 00:44:43,680
Speaker 2: Is this news tasts?

1007
00:44:46,280 --> 00:44:50,640
Speaker 6: This is the best and absolute worst part of Instagram.

1008
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:54,840
Speaker 6: The worst part of Instagram is the Discover page, and

1009
00:44:55,160 --> 00:44:59,520
Speaker 6: there's random accounts. Random accounts put up an image of

1010
00:44:59,560 --> 00:45:01,600
Speaker 6: a player. If you happen to go there, I'm I'm

1011
00:45:01,640 --> 00:45:04,680
Speaker 6: an NBA fan, So on my Discovery page, I go

1012
00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:07,839
Speaker 6: to the page, I see big photos Paul George's face,

1013
00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:11,239
Speaker 6: a huge, huge caption on his face and overlay if

1014
00:45:11,320 --> 00:45:15,320
Speaker 6: you will, and it'll in this case mbeed feed. A

1015
00:45:15,480 --> 00:45:18,920
Speaker 6: random user name has the huge caption. The Sixers have

1016
00:45:19,040 --> 00:45:22,840
Speaker 6: reportedly expressed trade interest in Buddy Heel, and so it

1017
00:45:22,920 --> 00:45:26,440
Speaker 6: comes from somewhere else. It comes from Legion Hoops and

1018
00:45:26,800 --> 00:45:31,040
Speaker 6: they tag Buddy and he likes the posts, and someone

1019
00:45:31,080 --> 00:45:34,799
Speaker 6: else comments trust the process, and he replies and says

1020
00:45:34,880 --> 00:45:38,280
Speaker 6: big facts. I think Buddy Heel is just enjoying someone

1021
00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:40,840
Speaker 6: talking about him, like a lot of us, like a

1022
00:45:40,920 --> 00:45:43,640
Speaker 6: lot of us who want the dopamine from Instagram. Talk

1023
00:45:43,640 --> 00:45:46,640
Speaker 6: about me, you talk about me. So I do think

1024
00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:50,080
Speaker 6: the Sixers would make a move like this. It would

1025
00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:53,040
Speaker 6: would It would do you some shooting, yeah, And it

1026
00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:56,400
Speaker 6: would make sense that they desperately could you use Buddy

1027
00:45:56,480 --> 00:45:59,239
Speaker 6: Hill's ability to spread the floor. And also I think

1028
00:45:59,280 --> 00:46:02,479
Speaker 6: they would bring in a guy that won't work seamlessly either.

1029
00:46:02,719 --> 00:46:05,160
Speaker 6: You know, there's some question marks as to whether or

1030
00:46:05,160 --> 00:46:08,280
Speaker 6: not he would fit right, Like he's had some issues

1031
00:46:08,280 --> 00:46:11,680
Speaker 6: in Sacramento. He's coming off the bench. They've thrown him there,

1032
00:46:11,719 --> 00:46:13,680
Speaker 6: even though they paid him a bajillion dollars and we

1033
00:46:13,760 --> 00:46:15,480
Speaker 6: all thought, look at that skill set, but he hasn't

1034
00:46:15,520 --> 00:46:19,040
Speaker 6: been necessarily all that happy there because they've thrown him

1035
00:46:19,040 --> 00:46:20,680
Speaker 6: to the bench, and they haven't been happy with him

1036
00:46:20,760 --> 00:46:23,120
Speaker 6: just because he's doesn't play defense all that hard. So

1037
00:46:23,400 --> 00:46:26,600
Speaker 6: I could see a match there. And again the original

1038
00:46:26,760 --> 00:46:32,920
Speaker 6: source Legion Hoops he's he's doubling down. I think his

1039
00:46:33,040 --> 00:46:36,759
Speaker 6: name is Legion Hoops Ross specifically, he said I predicted

1040
00:46:37,320 --> 00:46:40,080
Speaker 6: KD was going to the nets. Check my history, and

1041
00:46:40,160 --> 00:46:44,080
Speaker 6: so he says he's got his sauces, and I wouldn't

1042
00:46:44,080 --> 00:46:48,759
Speaker 6: see it as a crazy as a crazy stretch that

1043
00:46:48,920 --> 00:46:50,640
Speaker 6: this could happen. But I don't know who the heck

1044
00:46:51,239 --> 00:46:54,359
Speaker 6: they would trade for him. That's the problem to Bias Harris.

1045
00:46:55,239 --> 00:46:56,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that's it right.

1046
00:46:56,719 --> 00:46:59,200
Speaker 1: You got the contract of Tobias Harris, what thirty four

1047
00:46:59,280 --> 00:47:02,160
Speaker 1: million al or for twenty seven and a half million, Buddy,

1048
00:47:02,239 --> 00:47:05,560
Speaker 1: healed is about a twenty five million guy.

1049
00:47:05,600 --> 00:47:07,759
Speaker 2: You know in his with his extension kicking in here.

1050
00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:10,200
Speaker 2: So I guess you in theory, could make something happen.

1051
00:47:10,440 --> 00:47:11,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, buddy, he.

1052
00:47:11,680 --> 00:47:15,560
Speaker 3: Doesn't watching the Kings if it's Harrison Barnes and Tobias

1053
00:47:15,640 --> 00:47:19,280
Speaker 3: Harris taking the ball from the bag of beans in starfucks.

1054
00:47:20,600 --> 00:47:22,520
Speaker 3: I mean, Buddy would be awesome on the Sixers. He's

1055
00:47:22,520 --> 00:47:26,080
Speaker 3: a perfect fit for them. But he wants to be

1056
00:47:26,160 --> 00:47:28,160
Speaker 3: gone from the Kings. That's the main thing I take

1057
00:47:28,200 --> 00:47:31,040
Speaker 3: from this is he is ready to be out of there.

1058
00:47:31,160 --> 00:47:33,279
Speaker 3: He was complaining before he got his extension. Then, like

1059
00:47:33,360 --> 00:47:35,200
Speaker 3: Tass was saying, he was complaining after then they sent

1060
00:47:35,320 --> 00:47:37,239
Speaker 3: him to the bench. He wasn't happy about that, but

1061
00:47:37,320 --> 00:47:39,800
Speaker 3: he still was pretty successful coming off the bench. He

1062
00:47:39,920 --> 00:47:41,600
Speaker 3: still wants to be a starter. He wants to be

1063
00:47:41,640 --> 00:47:45,120
Speaker 3: a star somewhere, and it feels like he's number three

1064
00:47:45,400 --> 00:47:48,520
Speaker 3: at most on the Sacramento Kings. And you know, maybe

1065
00:47:48,560 --> 00:47:51,360
Speaker 3: it changes a little bit that Lottie Devots isn't there anymore,

1066
00:47:51,400 --> 00:47:54,080
Speaker 3: so he can finally usurp Bogdanovic.

1067
00:47:54,200 --> 00:47:57,120
Speaker 1: But Buddy's not long for Sacramento. I don't think I

1068
00:47:57,280 --> 00:48:01,200
Speaker 1: agree with that, especially because new Kings. Gentleman Monte, don't

1069
00:48:01,200 --> 00:48:04,840
Speaker 1: call me Steve McNair. He just said that Luke Walton

1070
00:48:04,880 --> 00:48:06,680
Speaker 1: and him are on the same page during his little

1071
00:48:06,680 --> 00:48:08,680
Speaker 1: press conference that he had on Wednesday, and that Luke

1072
00:48:08,719 --> 00:48:10,719
Speaker 1: Walton's going to be their coach next year and that

1073
00:48:10,840 --> 00:48:12,879
Speaker 1: he's excited to work with him, and blah blah blah

1074
00:48:12,880 --> 00:48:15,359
Speaker 1: and our aligned visions and all that crap that they

1075
00:48:15,360 --> 00:48:15,879
Speaker 1: always say.

1076
00:48:16,280 --> 00:48:18,160
Speaker 2: But that probably doesn't bode well.

1077
00:48:18,280 --> 00:48:20,640
Speaker 1: You're right for Buddy hild wanting to still be there

1078
00:48:21,080 --> 00:48:22,800
Speaker 1: after like, hey man, you're going to the bench and

1079
00:48:22,840 --> 00:48:24,879
Speaker 1: all this, and Bogdanova is going to start and who's

1080
00:48:24,920 --> 00:48:27,680
Speaker 1: he's a restricted free agent as well. Right, So Monte

1081
00:48:27,760 --> 00:48:29,480
Speaker 1: McNair has got some decisions to be made here, But

1082
00:48:30,200 --> 00:48:33,560
Speaker 1: one hundred percent with you on this tray, he doesn't.

1083
00:48:33,840 --> 00:48:35,360
Speaker 1: I don't think he's going to be there either. I

1084
00:48:35,400 --> 00:48:37,040
Speaker 1: think a trade will be made. I think there will

1085
00:48:37,080 --> 00:48:38,440
Speaker 1: be a lot of interest in a guy still like

1086
00:48:38,440 --> 00:48:41,160
Speaker 1: Buddy Hill at his age and his ability to knock

1087
00:48:41,200 --> 00:48:43,000
Speaker 1: down a three. If Mike dan Toni's coach in the

1088
00:48:43,040 --> 00:48:45,560
Speaker 1: Sixers too, Like if that happens, hell, yeah, you want

1089
00:48:45,560 --> 00:48:48,359
Speaker 1: Buddy Hill on that roster then over some of these guys.

1090
00:48:48,400 --> 00:48:50,719
Speaker 1: But it comes down to, yeah, well were the king,

1091
00:48:50,760 --> 00:48:52,960
Speaker 1: what would the Kings want back or take back? I

1092
00:48:53,040 --> 00:48:54,680
Speaker 1: guess in giving up Buddy Hill, But what do you

1093
00:48:54,719 --> 00:48:55,080
Speaker 1: think lead?

1094
00:48:55,480 --> 00:48:57,560
Speaker 4: No, I think Buddy Heal would absolutely love to get

1095
00:48:57,560 --> 00:48:59,960
Speaker 4: out of Sacramento and go and play for Mike d'antoninia Phillidel.

1096
00:49:00,200 --> 00:49:02,480
Speaker 4: There's no question about it. He suits exactly what dan

1097
00:49:02,560 --> 00:49:04,560
Speaker 4: Tony likes. Just get out there. And shoot threes. And

1098
00:49:04,640 --> 00:49:06,719
Speaker 4: Buddy was a good three point shooter. Last year he

1099
00:49:06,760 --> 00:49:09,080
Speaker 4: shot thirty nine percent, take nearly ten a games, so

1100
00:49:09,160 --> 00:49:11,320
Speaker 4: he can. He can do it, There's no doubt about it.

1101
00:49:11,400 --> 00:49:14,719
Speaker 4: But it's again like there's no way in the world.

1102
00:49:14,800 --> 00:49:17,480
Speaker 4: I will I will veto the trade. If they take

1103
00:49:17,560 --> 00:49:20,800
Speaker 4: Tobias Harris back the Sacramento Kings, I will be I

1104
00:49:20,840 --> 00:49:23,320
Speaker 4: will David Stern do Chris Paul One to say that

1105
00:49:23,440 --> 00:49:28,400
Speaker 4: is not happening, because don't do that to you fans. Yeah, Sacramento, I.

1106
00:49:28,640 --> 00:49:31,239
Speaker 3: Think they're gonna revolt if they trade Buddy Healed for

1107
00:49:31,360 --> 00:49:32,080
Speaker 3: Tobias Harris.

1108
00:49:32,239 --> 00:49:35,200
Speaker 4: They should, they shouldly what if?

1109
00:49:35,280 --> 00:49:35,600
Speaker 2: What if?

1110
00:49:35,680 --> 00:49:37,759
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying the Sixers would do anything like this,

1111
00:49:37,920 --> 00:49:40,440
Speaker 1: but what if there's Okay, yeah, we're giving a Harris

1112
00:49:41,360 --> 00:49:43,759
Speaker 1: because like money, reasons, right to get healed for for

1113
00:49:43,800 --> 00:49:46,120
Speaker 1: the most part, but like we'll give you like a

1114
00:49:46,560 --> 00:49:48,040
Speaker 1: matistable or something like that.

1115
00:49:48,160 --> 00:49:50,000
Speaker 2: You know, they have they have to sweeten it. They

1116
00:49:50,040 --> 00:49:52,480
Speaker 2: have to give a young prospect, someone that looks talented.

1117
00:49:52,600 --> 00:49:55,319
Speaker 4: No, I don't have I don't have Tigles contract Handy here,

1118
00:49:55,360 --> 00:49:59,239
Speaker 4: but I have Tobias Harris, So don't do it. You're

1119
00:49:59,239 --> 00:50:01,400
Speaker 4: gonna have to with a little bit more than that,

1120
00:50:02,480 --> 00:50:02,960
Speaker 4: just asking.

1121
00:50:03,520 --> 00:50:06,839
Speaker 6: That's interesting though, because Monte McNair is a true analytics guy.

1122
00:50:06,880 --> 00:50:09,600
Speaker 6: There's not many that have been hired in the NBA.

1123
00:50:09,760 --> 00:50:13,720
Speaker 6: The last one as a GM was Sam Hanky. So Buddy,

1124
00:50:13,719 --> 00:50:16,719
Speaker 6: he will make a lot of sense shooting the ball there.

1125
00:50:16,840 --> 00:50:19,359
Speaker 6: That's exactly what every team wants, ten threes a game.

1126
00:50:20,080 --> 00:50:22,840
Speaker 6: If you're an analytic person, you love that.

1127
00:50:23,280 --> 00:50:23,480
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1128
00:50:24,040 --> 00:50:27,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, he hasn't been hasn't been working on the defensive end,

1129
00:50:27,480 --> 00:50:30,759
Speaker 6: and he's an emotional man, and so it hasn't been working.

1130
00:50:30,920 --> 00:50:32,799
Speaker 1: And then there's bugged Onnovich as well. I mean, it's

1131
00:50:32,800 --> 00:50:34,680
Speaker 1: a bit of the problem here, right. They've got two

1132
00:50:34,719 --> 00:50:39,239
Speaker 1: of these guys that are scores, great shooters, But can

1133
00:50:39,280 --> 00:50:40,120
Speaker 1: you pay both of them?

1134
00:50:40,200 --> 00:50:40,759
Speaker 2: Probably not.

1135
00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:43,320
Speaker 1: I don't think that's all that wise. So see what

1136
00:50:43,360 --> 00:50:44,520
Speaker 1: you can get for one of them. And if Buddy

1137
00:50:44,560 --> 00:50:46,040
Speaker 1: Hill wants to leave, then you're gonna try and move him.

1138
00:50:46,160 --> 00:50:48,640
Speaker 1: Likely we will see, we will see final one. This

1139
00:50:48,719 --> 00:50:53,200
Speaker 1: one's funny star tribute Blancho Hernan Gomez away from the

1140
00:50:53,239 --> 00:50:58,080
Speaker 1: Wolves as he shoots Adam Sandler movie Trey.

1141
00:50:59,239 --> 00:51:01,480
Speaker 2: Lancho where as well, I watch him.

1142
00:51:01,880 --> 00:51:04,399
Speaker 3: I mean, this is the news, skeates, where's Wancho. He's

1143
00:51:04,480 --> 00:51:08,520
Speaker 3: with Adam Sandler. What doesn't make sense? Also news, we're

1144
00:51:08,520 --> 00:51:11,600
Speaker 3: gonna be getting some more Adam Sandler basketball highlights. You

1145
00:51:11,640 --> 00:51:13,879
Speaker 3: would assume at some point they'll be out there rocking

1146
00:51:13,960 --> 00:51:18,160
Speaker 3: the TJ Ford gigantic shorts, throwing no look passes, and

1147
00:51:18,239 --> 00:51:20,880
Speaker 3: apparently they'll be going to Lancho Hernan Gomez. How in

1148
00:51:20,960 --> 00:51:22,839
Speaker 3: the world is he the guy chosen for this? It's

1149
00:51:22,840 --> 00:51:27,320
Speaker 3: apparently a story about It's called Hustle. It's executive produced

1150
00:51:27,360 --> 00:51:30,480
Speaker 3: by Lebron James yep. So I went deep into the

1151
00:51:30,680 --> 00:51:32,880
Speaker 3: archives and I did find that Wancho had a twelve

1152
00:51:32,960 --> 00:51:35,320
Speaker 3: point game against the Lakers when he was still playing

1153
00:51:35,360 --> 00:51:38,680
Speaker 3: for the Nuggets last season. So maybe Lebron thought, He's like,

1154
00:51:38,880 --> 00:51:40,640
Speaker 3: this is the guy, this is the guy we need

1155
00:51:40,719 --> 00:51:43,040
Speaker 3: when we finally make this Sandler movie. I don't know

1156
00:51:43,120 --> 00:51:46,319
Speaker 3: how it's happening, but I'm always curious to see an

1157
00:51:46,400 --> 00:51:50,080
Speaker 3: NBA player as an actor if they're playing a basketball player.

1158
00:51:50,120 --> 00:51:52,080
Speaker 3: If they're not, that's gonna be fun. It's gonna be

1159
00:51:52,120 --> 00:51:53,759
Speaker 3: a YouTube clip. Cannot wait.

1160
00:51:53,960 --> 00:51:56,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess Hustle here it revolves around a basketball

1161
00:51:57,000 --> 00:52:00,600
Speaker 1: scout who searches for talent overseas Hernan.

1162
00:52:00,400 --> 00:52:01,800
Speaker 2: Gomez, you know, from Spain.

1163
00:52:01,920 --> 00:52:04,000
Speaker 1: So maybe that that makes a little bit more sense,

1164
00:52:04,040 --> 00:52:06,400
Speaker 1: I guess with the storyline here. But he's not going

1165
00:52:06,480 --> 00:52:08,960
Speaker 1: to be present for the team's voluntary workout here tasked,

1166
00:52:09,160 --> 00:52:12,520
Speaker 1: you know, the group workouts that they're doing. But they say, hey, look,

1167
00:52:12,600 --> 00:52:14,520
Speaker 1: I mean, we didn't know this bubble was going to

1168
00:52:14,560 --> 00:52:17,040
Speaker 1: be going. He committed to this project, you know, well

1169
00:52:17,200 --> 00:52:19,040
Speaker 1: before we knew we'd be doing workouts at this time

1170
00:52:19,040 --> 00:52:19,319
Speaker 1: of the year.

1171
00:52:19,360 --> 00:52:20,719
Speaker 2: So they can't be too angry about it.

1172
00:52:20,760 --> 00:52:23,440
Speaker 6: I guess, No, that's not news. I'm going to go

1173
00:52:23,560 --> 00:52:25,520
Speaker 6: I'm going to go with that's not news. They're cool

1174
00:52:25,600 --> 00:52:28,120
Speaker 6: with that. It's good. It's good for the team to

1175
00:52:28,239 --> 00:52:31,040
Speaker 6: have one of their their bench players in a movie.

1176
00:52:32,080 --> 00:52:32,360
Speaker 6: Why not.

1177
00:52:34,160 --> 00:52:36,480
Speaker 2: I just love that we had a I don't know

1178
00:52:36,640 --> 00:52:36,759
Speaker 2: was it.

1179
00:52:36,840 --> 00:52:38,640
Speaker 1: I can't even call it a recurring bit, but we

1180
00:52:38,760 --> 00:52:42,600
Speaker 1: did have a thing where's Wancho going? And we are

1181
00:52:42,680 --> 00:52:45,359
Speaker 1: literally finding out where he is. That's exactly what he's doing.

1182
00:52:45,400 --> 00:52:48,000
Speaker 1: As Tray said, he's shooting a movie with Adam Saylor.

1183
00:52:48,000 --> 00:52:49,040
Speaker 1: Are you excited about the movie?

1184
00:52:49,719 --> 00:52:52,200
Speaker 4: Well, I am because what was that one we sold

1185
00:52:52,239 --> 00:52:55,440
Speaker 4: during the summer with the Adam Sandler one? Jams yet

1186
00:52:55,520 --> 00:52:56,960
Speaker 4: like it was a it was a man. It was

1187
00:52:57,000 --> 00:52:59,000
Speaker 4: a rollercoaster of a movie. But I want to see

1188
00:52:59,000 --> 00:53:01,160
Speaker 4: now the follow up to it, if see if he

1189
00:53:01,239 --> 00:53:03,560
Speaker 4: reinvents that character or has the same because I think

1190
00:53:03,560 --> 00:53:05,480
Speaker 4: it will be because you know, when you're a diamond

1191
00:53:06,280 --> 00:53:10,200
Speaker 4: a diamond seller dealer and you're an NBA agent, you know,

1192
00:53:10,560 --> 00:53:13,760
Speaker 4: not a it's not completely off. There on different tracks

1193
00:53:13,800 --> 00:53:15,239
Speaker 4: out there, so you've got to be a bit of a.

1194
00:53:15,600 --> 00:53:18,200
Speaker 2: Fast It's called hustle, I guess, yeah, yeah, so.

1195
00:53:18,239 --> 00:53:19,440
Speaker 4: You have to be a little bit like that. And

1196
00:53:19,520 --> 00:53:22,040
Speaker 4: I think Adam Sandler will fit that role pretty well.

1197
00:53:22,120 --> 00:53:24,680
Speaker 4: So I'm looking forward to it. I'm looking forward to

1198
00:53:24,800 --> 00:53:25,839
Speaker 4: us for reviewing it next year.

1199
00:53:26,080 --> 00:53:28,799
Speaker 3: Remembering the ending of Uncut Gems, I think it would

1200
00:53:28,840 --> 00:53:32,359
Speaker 3: be quite a different movie if they somehow get out

1201
00:53:32,360 --> 00:53:36,160
Speaker 3: of Sandler's character. This one I forgot it, but it

1202
00:53:36,160 --> 00:53:41,080
Speaker 3: would be exciting, exciting. Where's Wancholl, He's doing a seance.

1203
00:53:41,160 --> 00:53:42,600
Speaker 3: He brought Adam Sandler back.

1204
00:53:42,920 --> 00:53:47,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, maybe Adam Sandler is found in the Opal. Wancho

1205
00:53:47,640 --> 00:53:50,520
Speaker 6: is looking into the Opal. Yeah, finds him there brings

1206
00:53:50,600 --> 00:53:53,080
Speaker 6: them back, he gets into his opal and drives over

1207
00:53:53,160 --> 00:53:54,520
Speaker 6: to this practice facility.

1208
00:53:55,320 --> 00:54:00,479
Speaker 1: I think it's more likely these movies, but hey, who knows.

1209
00:54:01,160 --> 00:54:03,280
Speaker 3: I heard he's actually going to be playing Billy Madison,

1210
00:54:03,320 --> 00:54:05,719
Speaker 3: who finally got his degree and has moved to become

1211
00:54:05,760 --> 00:54:08,040
Speaker 3: a scuff one out basketball strout.

1212
00:54:08,640 --> 00:54:11,719
Speaker 1: All right, so there's a little Is this news you

1213
00:54:11,840 --> 00:54:14,520
Speaker 1: agree or disagree with those three newsworthy or not?

1214
00:54:14,800 --> 00:54:17,919
Speaker 2: Especially on that last one, tessays no way. I say,

1215
00:54:18,040 --> 00:54:20,279
Speaker 2: hell yeah, but let's hear from you guys. I take

1216
00:54:20,400 --> 00:54:22,160
Speaker 2: one more quick break before tweeting the night.

1217
00:54:22,600 --> 00:54:25,480
Speaker 6: Hey, I'm Taes Melisa no dunks on the athletic. Do

1218
00:54:25,560 --> 00:54:27,560
Speaker 6: you want to walk into a room with your chest

1219
00:54:27,600 --> 00:54:32,320
Speaker 6: puffed out, your neck long, and your shoulders broad? Of

1220
00:54:32,600 --> 00:54:36,520
Speaker 6: course you do. For me, getting clothes that fit properly

1221
00:54:36,640 --> 00:54:39,800
Speaker 6: can give me the confidence I need to do just that.

1222
00:54:40,719 --> 00:54:44,320
Speaker 6: Indochino hooked me up with the gear that fits perfectly.

1223
00:54:45,160 --> 00:54:48,040
Speaker 6: I dreaded getting dressed for my Zoom meetings, but now

1224
00:54:48,600 --> 00:54:50,840
Speaker 6: I change for each one with a big smile on

1225
00:54:50,960 --> 00:54:54,640
Speaker 6: my face. I did a virtual fitting on Indochino's slick

1226
00:54:54,920 --> 00:54:57,520
Speaker 6: website for them to get my measurements. I didn't have

1227
00:54:57,680 --> 00:55:02,120
Speaker 6: to talk to a single There are so many options.

1228
00:55:02,160 --> 00:55:04,840
Speaker 6: Here are a few. I chose a long shirt because

1229
00:55:04,880 --> 00:55:07,480
Speaker 6: I tuck it in. I got a no Dunks monogram,

1230
00:55:07,800 --> 00:55:12,160
Speaker 6: and I decided against the shirt pocket. I sincerely did

1231
00:55:12,280 --> 00:55:15,800
Speaker 6: not think that custom fit clothing was this affordable. And

1232
00:55:16,080 --> 00:55:19,839

00:56:03,360 --> 00:56:09,080
Speaker 2: Wow, it's actually tweets of the night. We get two

1245
00:56:09,080 --> 00:56:10,560
Speaker 2: of them here, Why not first one?

1246
00:56:10,640 --> 00:56:13,560
Speaker 1: I had to slip this into the show from at

1247
00:56:13,840 --> 00:56:18,920
Speaker 1: Josh Shiman, Vince Carter keeps calling Jamal Murray Kitchener's Finest

1248
00:56:19,120 --> 00:56:22,680
Speaker 1: on ESPN, and I love it because nobody watching has

1249
00:56:22,760 --> 00:56:26,480
Speaker 1: a clue what he's talking about. Shout out to Vince

1250
00:56:26,560 --> 00:56:30,359
Speaker 1: Carter for running with the Kitchener's Finest. You can't tell

1251
00:56:30,400 --> 00:56:32,279
Speaker 1: me that he didn't get it from us, or at

1252
00:56:32,360 --> 00:56:34,760
Speaker 1: least from our tweets. So I'm always tweeting no Kitchener's

1253
00:56:34,760 --> 00:56:37,399
Speaker 1: Finest with Jamal Murray. Gotta love it, mister Vince Carter.

1254
00:56:37,800 --> 00:56:41,319
Speaker 1: Fantastic happy twentieth anniversary too. To Vince Carter's dunk of death.

1255
00:56:41,360 --> 00:56:43,759
Speaker 1: I mean, this just works out perfectly when he jumped

1256
00:56:43,800 --> 00:56:46,000
Speaker 1: over Frederick Weiss there in the Olympics. I love this

1257
00:56:46,120 --> 00:56:47,480
Speaker 1: two tasks. I had to slip it in. I think

1258
00:56:47,480 --> 00:56:49,200
Speaker 1: you'll get a kick out of this. Being from Ontario.

1259
00:56:49,480 --> 00:56:53,080
Speaker 1: Sean Fitzgerald, hockey writer for The Athletic. He said he

1260
00:56:53,120 --> 00:56:55,239
Speaker 1: saw it, like he replied to somebody in the tweet section.

1261
00:56:55,640 --> 00:56:59,279
Speaker 1: For the longest time, our eldest thought that the Ohl

1262
00:56:59,440 --> 00:57:03,359
Speaker 1: franchise in town was named the kitchen Arrangers.

1263
00:57:04,320 --> 00:57:05,600
Speaker 2: I think about that often.

1264
00:57:06,520 --> 00:57:07,680
Speaker 4: Even's that one.

1265
00:57:09,080 --> 00:57:11,840
Speaker 6: That I don't I don't get it, Rangers.

1266
00:57:11,920 --> 00:57:13,200
Speaker 2: It was Kitchener Rangers.

1267
00:57:13,480 --> 00:57:13,680
Speaker 6: Yeah.

1268
00:57:14,400 --> 00:57:16,080
Speaker 1: So, I know it's tough to sort of say, but

1269
00:57:16,120 --> 00:57:20,480
Speaker 1: you got to see a kitchen Rangers a little weird.

1270
00:57:20,640 --> 00:57:22,520
Speaker 1: No one knows that there's a place called Kitchener. I

1271
00:57:22,560 --> 00:57:24,880
Speaker 1: guess it is a weird name for a town. I'll

1272
00:57:24,920 --> 00:57:28,360
Speaker 1: say that, but I hadn't really put a lot of

1273
00:57:28,480 --> 00:57:29,720
Speaker 1: part of town names out there.

1274
00:57:30,000 --> 00:57:33,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I'm not moose Jaw weird.

1275
00:57:33,760 --> 00:57:37,120
Speaker 4: Kitchener Tookok, we've got took in Australia.

1276
00:57:38,480 --> 00:57:43,520
Speaker 6: What about those red deer? Why why can't bloops is

1277
00:57:43,560 --> 00:57:49,880
Speaker 6: a good one? Burnaby? Why why doesn't Maple Jordan take off?

1278
00:57:49,920 --> 00:57:51,640
Speaker 6: Why doesn't that nickname take off? It was sort of

1279
00:57:51,720 --> 00:57:55,760
Speaker 6: handed and it's Andrew Wiggins fall and Jamal Murray just

1280
00:57:55,840 --> 00:57:56,880
Speaker 6: pulled a Michael Jordan.

1281
00:57:57,200 --> 00:57:58,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, give it to him.

1282
00:57:58,920 --> 00:58:02,040
Speaker 6: Give it to him. That Give that syrup. We've been

1283
00:58:02,080 --> 00:58:05,080
Speaker 6: tapping that nickname for years. It had no syrup has

1284
00:58:05,120 --> 00:58:08,320
Speaker 6: come out of that sirrup. Give him that syrup. I get.

1285
00:58:09,600 --> 00:58:11,840
Speaker 1: I saw you and Trey going back and forth on Twitter.

1286
00:58:12,640 --> 00:58:16,120
Speaker 1: Nice pointing out MJ. Flip it J M Jamal Murray

1287
00:58:16,160 --> 00:58:17,560
Speaker 1: and then MJ. Maple Jordan.

1288
00:58:19,720 --> 00:58:20,520
Speaker 6: It is perfect.

1289
00:58:20,680 --> 00:58:24,080
Speaker 1: It is perfect, all right. One more tweet from last

1290
00:58:24,120 --> 00:58:28,040
Speaker 1: night that I liked. Dan Wikey from at Dan Wakey Sports.

1291
00:58:28,360 --> 00:58:33,120
Speaker 1: The Lakers bench counted down three, two one, and Gary

1292
00:58:33,240 --> 00:58:35,840
Speaker 1: Harris launched a tough three point jumper to beat the clock,

1293
00:58:36,320 --> 00:58:39,200
Speaker 1: except there was ten seconds left on it. After the miss,

1294
00:58:39,440 --> 00:58:41,520
Speaker 1: Jared Dudley, Alex Caruso.

1295
00:58:41,240 --> 00:58:43,200
Speaker 2: And Rondo all the high five.

1296
00:58:44,080 --> 00:58:44,320
Speaker 6: Wow.

1297
00:58:44,480 --> 00:58:47,560
Speaker 1: I mean, we've talked before about how this bubble experiment

1298
00:58:47,800 --> 00:58:49,720
Speaker 1: is like a you know, like a tournament, like a

1299
00:58:49,800 --> 00:58:51,240
Speaker 1: high school basketball tournament.

1300
00:58:51,920 --> 00:58:53,760
Speaker 2: We used to do that all the.

1301
00:58:54,200 --> 00:58:57,280
Speaker 1: Time tray where you did the fake countdown, which was

1302
00:58:57,360 --> 00:58:59,200
Speaker 1: weird because I don't even remember us having a shot.

1303
00:59:00,200 --> 00:59:02,280
Speaker 1: That's even weird now that I really think about it.

1304
00:59:02,320 --> 00:59:04,640
Speaker 1: But we did this for sure, Oh definitely. I can't

1305
00:59:04,680 --> 00:59:07,200
Speaker 1: believe it worked. And I can't believe that Dwight Howard

1306
00:59:07,320 --> 00:59:09,440
Speaker 1: wasn't somehow involved with this. He seems like the guy

1307
00:59:09,480 --> 00:59:10,320
Speaker 1: that would come up with it.

1308
00:59:10,520 --> 00:59:13,240
Speaker 3: Hey count him down, man, the joker. He'll never think

1309
00:59:13,280 --> 00:59:13,600
Speaker 3: about it.

1310
00:59:14,280 --> 00:59:16,360
Speaker 2: We got ya, the Batman, We got you.

1311
00:59:16,520 --> 00:59:18,920
Speaker 3: But uh, yeah, it's awesome. I wonder if it's happened

1312
00:59:19,280 --> 00:59:22,360
Speaker 3: any other times, you know, anytime we see somebody take

1313
00:59:22,400 --> 00:59:24,760
Speaker 3: a really bad shot, is it just because the opposing

1314
00:59:24,840 --> 00:59:27,000
Speaker 3: bench is counting it down. It's been great, you know,

1315
00:59:28,440 --> 00:59:32,080
Speaker 3: watching the benches from other supporting their teams has been

1316
00:59:32,200 --> 00:59:33,640
Speaker 3: as good as you would have thought it was going

1317
00:59:33,720 --> 00:59:35,840
Speaker 3: to be coming into the bubble, seeing these guys pulling

1318
00:59:35,880 --> 00:59:38,800
Speaker 3: pranks like this and just celebrating. You know, Myers Leonard

1319
00:59:38,800 --> 00:59:41,320
Speaker 3: has been out for every single heat possession, flex in

1320
00:59:41,360 --> 00:59:44,760
Speaker 3: his arms. Basically, when the only fans who are there

1321
00:59:44,880 --> 00:59:48,200
Speaker 3: are your teammates, you gotta do something. And the teams

1322
00:59:48,240 --> 00:59:49,920
Speaker 3: haven't disappointed. It's been pretty fun to watch.

1323
00:59:50,080 --> 00:59:51,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I will say we've talked a lot about the

1324
00:59:52,000 --> 00:59:54,760
Speaker 1: officiating in the bubble in some of these games, and yeah,

1325
00:59:54,840 --> 00:59:56,640
Speaker 1: what are they doing with some of these calls and

1326
00:59:56,720 --> 00:59:59,280
Speaker 1: all that. But I like that they've allowed the players,

1327
00:59:59,360 --> 01:00:02,720
Speaker 1: Like you said, he's notorious for like being out there.

1328
01:00:02,840 --> 01:00:05,920
Speaker 1: They're letting them like be outside that sort of barrier

1329
01:00:06,200 --> 01:00:09,040
Speaker 1: a lot of the time, right, which I mean I

1330
01:00:09,080 --> 01:00:11,080
Speaker 1: think they could enforce and say hey, sit in your

1331
01:00:11,120 --> 01:00:13,840
Speaker 1: cool chair back there, but they're not. They're letting them

1332
01:00:13,880 --> 01:00:15,840
Speaker 1: get into it because there's no fans anyway, so it

1333
01:00:16,480 --> 01:00:17,760
Speaker 1: tries to give a little bit of.

1334
01:00:17,960 --> 01:00:18,840
Speaker 2: Excitement to the game.

1335
01:00:18,920 --> 01:00:19,280
Speaker 5: I like that.

1336
01:00:19,480 --> 01:00:21,720
Speaker 2: Good on the officials for allowing that. Hey, let's go

1337
01:00:21,800 --> 01:00:23,919
Speaker 2: to Steve Javvy see if he likes that call as well.

1338
01:00:24,600 --> 01:00:28,480
Speaker 2: Yes he does. Okay, anything to add their lee or

1339
01:00:28,600 --> 01:00:30,720
Speaker 2: or tasted to this fake countdown? Did you used to

1340
01:00:30,720 --> 01:00:30,920
Speaker 2: do that?

1341
01:00:32,200 --> 01:00:34,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean we've definitely done it before. Yeah, it's fun,

1342
01:00:34,880 --> 01:00:36,640
Speaker 4: it's fun. And then you do the high fives because

1343
01:00:36,680 --> 01:00:38,800
Speaker 4: it Yeah, we got it, we got it.

1344
01:00:38,880 --> 01:00:39,280
Speaker 3: It's great.

1345
01:00:39,360 --> 01:00:41,600
Speaker 1: That's stuff now that I think about it, because we

1346
01:00:41,640 --> 01:00:43,439
Speaker 1: didn't have a shot clock for sure in high school,

1347
01:00:43,520 --> 01:00:45,680
Speaker 1: but we would do it at the end of quarters

1348
01:00:46,080 --> 01:00:48,840
Speaker 1: or so that makes a little bit more sense, though.

1349
01:00:48,840 --> 01:00:51,000
Speaker 1: I think it threw like a close game and you

1350
01:00:51,200 --> 01:00:53,440
Speaker 1: just start counted down five seconds prior to hope they

1351
01:00:53,680 --> 01:00:57,640
Speaker 1: jack something up there. Yeah, yeah, all right, great stuff,

1352
01:00:57,800 --> 01:01:01,480
Speaker 1: great stuff. East Finals Game five tonight Friday night. Here

1353
01:01:02,240 --> 01:01:04,400
Speaker 1: through four games you pointed to out yesterday, I think

1354
01:01:04,480 --> 01:01:06,720
Speaker 1: ley the cumuital of score between the Heat and the

1355
01:01:06,760 --> 01:01:09,240
Speaker 1: Celtics and the East Finals four forty one to four

1356
01:01:09,320 --> 01:01:11,320
Speaker 1: forty one. I know Zach Lowe was tweeting that as well.

1357
01:01:11,840 --> 01:01:13,480
Speaker 1: And yet here we are Heat up three to one

1358
01:01:13,960 --> 01:01:17,560
Speaker 1: one went away from their sixth finals, berth since two

1359
01:01:17,600 --> 01:01:20,600
Speaker 1: thousand and six, so we already discussed BAM playing tonight,

1360
01:01:20,640 --> 01:01:22,480
Speaker 1: so we can avoid that. But what's another thing to

1361
01:01:22,560 --> 01:01:25,120
Speaker 1: watch for here? In tonight's Game five.

1362
01:01:25,000 --> 01:01:27,320
Speaker 4: For the Heat Celtics, Jason Tatum had a very bad

1363
01:01:27,400 --> 01:01:29,840
Speaker 4: first half in Game four, didn't score, finished with twenty

1364
01:01:29,840 --> 01:01:32,400
Speaker 4: eight points, had a pretty good game. But I expect

1365
01:01:32,480 --> 01:01:34,640
Speaker 4: he will come out and sort of try to put

1366
01:01:34,680 --> 01:01:36,120
Speaker 4: a bit of a stamp on this game a little

1367
01:01:36,120 --> 01:01:38,240
Speaker 4: bit earlier tonight, I think, because he just kind of

1368
01:01:38,280 --> 01:01:39,920
Speaker 4: looked a little bit out of sorts there, but it

1369
01:01:39,960 --> 01:01:41,720
Speaker 4: didn't really matter. I mean, he picked it up and

1370
01:01:41,800 --> 01:01:43,400
Speaker 4: gave his team a chance to win, but I think

1371
01:01:43,440 --> 01:01:45,160
Speaker 4: it's one of those things where he's like, I'm not

1372
01:01:45,240 --> 01:01:47,480
Speaker 4: letting that happen again. I'm going out there to get

1373
01:01:47,520 --> 01:01:49,880
Speaker 4: a few buckets early, set the tone. I'm the leader,

1374
01:01:49,920 --> 01:01:51,760
Speaker 4: I'm the best player on this team, and it's my

1375
01:01:51,920 --> 01:01:54,040
Speaker 4: job to do that. So I expect him to be

1376
01:01:54,080 --> 01:01:56,240
Speaker 4: pretty aggressive from the start, and I expect the Celtics

1377
01:01:56,320 --> 01:01:58,680
Speaker 4: to try to get him involved early on, because you know,

1378
01:01:58,760 --> 01:02:00,680
Speaker 4: if Tatum has a big game and if he goes

1379
01:02:00,720 --> 01:02:03,080
Speaker 4: to thirty five or forty, it's it's probably gonna favor

1380
01:02:03,160 --> 01:02:06,320
Speaker 4: the Celtics. So I you know, knowing that this season

1381
01:02:06,400 --> 01:02:08,160
Speaker 4: is on the line tonight, I expect the leader to

1382
01:02:08,200 --> 01:02:10,800
Speaker 4: step up and be like, I've got these one guys.

1383
01:02:11,320 --> 01:02:14,240
Speaker 3: I'm with you, Lee. Jason Tatum is twenty six points,

1384
01:02:14,320 --> 01:02:17,160
Speaker 3: ten rebounds in five assists per game in this series.

1385
01:02:17,200 --> 01:02:19,440
Speaker 3: He's shooting forty five percent from the field in ninety

1386
01:02:19,480 --> 01:02:21,200
Speaker 3: two from the line, but he's only thirty one percent

1387
01:02:21,240 --> 01:02:23,200
Speaker 3: from three, and it kind of doesn't feel like he's

1388
01:02:23,200 --> 01:02:24,920
Speaker 3: really put his stamp on the game so far. He's

1389
01:02:24,960 --> 01:02:27,640
Speaker 3: had really good first three quarters of the game, and

1390
01:02:27,800 --> 01:02:30,120
Speaker 3: the performance hasn't been there in the fourth quarter because

1391
01:02:30,160 --> 01:02:32,800
Speaker 3: things really really slow down for the Celtics and it

1392
01:02:32,880 --> 01:02:36,080
Speaker 3: becomes kind of an ISO fest, which is not usually

1393
01:02:36,160 --> 01:02:38,920
Speaker 3: the way that they're playing, it feels like. So hopefully

1394
01:02:39,000 --> 01:02:41,440
Speaker 3: Tatum is able to string together an entire forty eight

1395
01:02:41,520 --> 01:02:43,880
Speaker 3: minutes and be the guy who was looking like one

1396
01:02:43,880 --> 01:02:45,640
Speaker 3: of the best players in the Eastern Conference. This has

1397
01:02:45,680 --> 01:02:48,400
Speaker 3: been a season of anointing him as a star, and

1398
01:02:48,800 --> 01:02:51,400
Speaker 3: he hasn't totally shown up in the fourth quarters, which

1399
01:02:51,440 --> 01:02:52,840
Speaker 3: is star time. So let's see it.

1400
01:02:53,640 --> 01:02:56,400
Speaker 6: And I'm looking forward to Gordon Hayward helping out the

1401
01:02:56,480 --> 01:02:59,000
Speaker 6: Boston Celtics a little bit more than he has in

1402
01:02:59,080 --> 01:03:02,080
Speaker 6: his two games since he return from injury. He's been decent.

1403
01:03:02,480 --> 01:03:05,960
Speaker 6: I'm playing about thirty minutes a game, but it's time

1404
01:03:06,040 --> 01:03:08,560
Speaker 6: to get those five best players out there a little

1405
01:03:08,600 --> 01:03:12,040
Speaker 6: bit more. Daniel Tye and Robert Williams are playing the

1406
01:03:12,120 --> 01:03:17,760
Speaker 6: center spot, but Gordon Hayward, along with Marcus Smart, Jaylen Brown,

1407
01:03:17,840 --> 01:03:21,200
Speaker 6: Jason Tatum and Kemba Walker are their best five. And

1408
01:03:21,840 --> 01:03:25,800
Speaker 6: this is obviously do or die here, and Gordon Hayward

1409
01:03:26,640 --> 01:03:28,880
Speaker 6: is here in the bubble. He stayed in the bubble

1410
01:03:29,000 --> 01:03:33,280
Speaker 6: despite Robin his wife having their fourth child at home.

1411
01:03:33,400 --> 01:03:36,480
Speaker 6: So this is big for Gordon Hayward. He got to

1412
01:03:36,560 --> 01:03:40,880
Speaker 6: stay here. And I just wanted to mention the fact

1413
01:03:40,920 --> 01:03:46,920
Speaker 6: that he's missing, that the child's birth hasn't hasn't made

1414
01:03:47,000 --> 01:03:49,960
Speaker 6: him miss trying to give this baby a nickname already.

1415
01:03:50,080 --> 01:03:52,800
Speaker 6: The kid just came out of the womb. His name

1416
01:03:53,000 --> 01:03:57,400
Speaker 6: is Gordon Theodore Hayward, and he's already arguing with Robin

1417
01:03:57,880 --> 01:04:00,640
Speaker 6: about what they should nickname the kid. He says they

1418
01:04:00,680 --> 01:04:04,800
Speaker 6: should nickname him GT. He's come on, it's way too

1419
01:04:04,880 --> 01:04:07,680
Speaker 6: early to give him a nickname of GT. And she

1420
01:04:07,800 --> 01:04:10,800
Speaker 6: wants to call him THEO U the kid just came

1421
01:04:10,840 --> 01:04:13,120
Speaker 6: out of the womb. Let him, let him grow into

1422
01:04:13,200 --> 01:04:16,440
Speaker 6: a nickname. Perhaps and GT. I mean that sounds like

1423
01:04:16,520 --> 01:04:19,680
Speaker 6: a Brad already. You know, you're, you're, you're just you're

1424
01:04:19,760 --> 01:04:22,240
Speaker 6: throwing him this name already. Maybe he's not a GT.

1425
01:04:22,400 --> 01:04:24,800
Speaker 6: Maybe he moves a little slow. Yeah, you're right, Test.

1426
01:04:24,800 --> 01:04:26,640
Speaker 3: You got to take it slow with nicknames because like

1427
01:04:26,720 --> 01:04:29,120
Speaker 3: we're seeing Jamal Murray. We can't even call him Maple

1428
01:04:29,200 --> 01:04:32,200
Speaker 3: Jordan now because that's Andrew Wiggins. Take it slow.

1429
01:04:32,640 --> 01:04:37,320
Speaker 1: Also, you can't start giving the baby a nickname.

1430
01:04:37,400 --> 01:04:40,080
Speaker 2: You haven't even held the baby. Yeah, hold the baby,

1431
01:04:40,160 --> 01:04:42,280
Speaker 2: feel the baby? Is it a GT? Or is this THEO?

1432
01:04:42,320 --> 01:04:44,160
Speaker 2: It's gonna be THEO by the way, mom rules, So

1433
01:04:44,240 --> 01:04:46,120
Speaker 2: that's gonna be what it is. And that's fine. That's

1434
01:04:46,120 --> 01:04:46,800
Speaker 2: a cute little name.

1435
01:04:46,840 --> 01:04:47,000
Speaker 6: There.

1436
01:04:47,240 --> 01:04:49,360
Speaker 1: It's like a JD situation too, right, I mean by

1437
01:04:49,400 --> 01:04:51,800
Speaker 1: the sounds of it, because he's Gordon, so he's a

1438
01:04:51,920 --> 01:04:55,360
Speaker 1: he's a second right or I don't know. Is Gordon's

1439
01:04:55,400 --> 01:04:56,800
Speaker 1: dad named also Gordon?

1440
01:04:56,800 --> 01:04:57,320
Speaker 2: I'm not sure.

1441
01:04:57,360 --> 01:04:58,760
Speaker 4: Maybe he's second.

1442
01:04:59,240 --> 01:04:59,919
Speaker 3: Fifth or something?

1443
01:05:00,120 --> 01:05:00,240
Speaker 1: Oh?

1444
01:05:00,400 --> 01:05:00,840
Speaker 2: Is he okay?

1445
01:05:00,880 --> 01:05:03,240
Speaker 1: So there it's exactly like g D's family then, where

1446
01:05:03,280 --> 01:05:06,280
Speaker 1: it's a Terrence situation here, but it's Jason instead as

1447
01:05:06,360 --> 01:05:08,560
Speaker 1: we call yeah GD either.

1448
01:05:09,600 --> 01:05:11,200
Speaker 2: This, Do I have that right? Yeah?

1449
01:05:11,280 --> 01:05:15,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's correct. My kid gives me literally every day

1450
01:05:15,240 --> 01:05:18,480
Speaker 5: dirty luck because I named him Terrence, and I go,

1451
01:05:18,680 --> 01:05:20,640
Speaker 5: you're right, I don't know what I was thinking.

1452
01:05:20,840 --> 01:05:24,280
Speaker 2: Start calling him GT happens.

1453
01:05:24,520 --> 01:05:27,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, we started calling him, you know, early on we

1454
01:05:27,480 --> 01:05:33,760
Speaker 5: linky six to one now doesn't fit. He's towering over hey,

1455
01:05:33,880 --> 01:05:35,040
Speaker 5: welinky go over there.

1456
01:05:36,120 --> 01:05:38,600
Speaker 2: Oh but that's like, don't they like that's what a

1457
01:05:38,760 --> 01:05:40,280
Speaker 2: giant dude? They'll call tiny?

1458
01:05:40,680 --> 01:05:44,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, it needs to get a little bit bigger to

1459
01:05:44,560 --> 01:05:47,120
Speaker 5: be in the tiny that we give them to be ironic.

1460
01:05:47,200 --> 01:05:48,520
Speaker 5: But you know, he's pretty tall.

1461
01:05:48,960 --> 01:05:50,880
Speaker 6: So if you just dropped it, you still call him linky.

1462
01:05:51,040 --> 01:05:51,960
Speaker 6: He dropped the weh.

1463
01:05:52,040 --> 01:05:53,800
Speaker 5: We call him all sorts of things, but linky is

1464
01:05:53,880 --> 01:05:58,560
Speaker 5: still still fits when I'm in a good mood, Terrence

1465
01:05:58,600 --> 01:05:59,440
Speaker 5: Lincoln when I'm not.

1466
01:06:00,120 --> 01:06:01,320
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, you.

1467
01:06:01,600 --> 01:06:03,760
Speaker 1: Never wanted to hear the Terrence, I'm sure, Jade. When

1468
01:06:03,760 --> 01:06:06,360
Speaker 1: you're a kid, Yeah, that's always a bad sign. All right,

1469
01:06:06,400 --> 01:06:08,280
Speaker 1: we're gonna call it there. Enjoy the game tonight.

1470
01:06:08,560 --> 01:06:09,600
Speaker 2: It won't be weird. I'll say.

1471
01:06:09,640 --> 01:06:12,240
Speaker 1: If the Heat win tonight because you were sort of

1472
01:06:12,240 --> 01:06:14,320
Speaker 1: saying it tasks like we'll look back at this, go

1473
01:06:14,760 --> 01:06:16,840
Speaker 1: the Heat beat the Celtics for one, I mean they

1474
01:06:16,880 --> 01:06:18,600
Speaker 1: took care of business, like they hammered them.

1475
01:06:18,840 --> 01:06:20,800
Speaker 2: It just like appears as a beatdown, right.

1476
01:06:21,400 --> 01:06:23,400
Speaker 1: But as we just pointed out, like even if the

1477
01:06:23,480 --> 01:06:26,520
Speaker 1: Celtics lose by one tonight, the Heat will have gone

1478
01:06:26,560 --> 01:06:29,960
Speaker 1: to the NBA Finals in five games despite scoring one

1479
01:06:30,000 --> 01:06:31,400
Speaker 1: more point over the entire series.

1480
01:06:31,440 --> 01:06:32,360
Speaker 2: That would be just strange.

1481
01:06:32,440 --> 01:06:34,400
Speaker 1: So I expect the Celtics actually to pick up this

1482
01:06:34,520 --> 01:06:36,760
Speaker 1: victory tonight and we get a game six just because

1483
01:06:36,800 --> 01:06:38,640
Speaker 1: they have been that close. But it is gonna come

1484
01:06:38,680 --> 01:06:41,480
Speaker 1: down to the fourth very likely once again, and they

1485
01:06:41,520 --> 01:06:43,720
Speaker 1: got to hit some threes because they're gonna be there. Guys,
