Speaker 1: We'll get to a bit later in the show, but

41
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 1: first rejuvenated Chris Paul leading the Sons over the Nuggets

42
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 1: one twenty two to one O five in Game one.

43
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 1: Lely get us started big tick away from this game

44
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:18,360
Speaker 1: one victory.

45
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 4: Well, for two and a half quarters, the Nuggets were

46
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 4: in control and look pretty good. Yokich seemed to be

47
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 4: doing his thing, and Chris Paul was really struggling. And

48
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 4: then it was a huge third quarter run. The Suns

49
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:31,080
Speaker 4: got super hot. Everyone started hitting shots, the crowd was

50
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 4: going wild. They got back into the game. They took

51
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 4: the lead, and the Nuggets offense pretty much went cold

52
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:38,800
Speaker 4: from there. They couldn't get anything going, and the Sons,

53
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 4: on the other hand, got it from everyone. Bridges was great,

54
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 4: Tory Craig had a huge dunk, Devon Booker had a

55
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 4: monster three, and then the start of the fourth quarter,

56
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,639
Speaker 4: Chris Paul, who honestly in that first half just really

57
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 4: seemed to be struggling, was an absolute master a technician,

58
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 4: if you like, to start that fourth quarter getting into

59
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 4: his mid range. They're hitting those shots, finding guys outside

60
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 4: and the pick and roll as well, and then hitting

61
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 4: a three dagger over Paul Millstap Kevin Harlan a brilliant

62
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 4: call last night from Preck. Kevin Harlan on the call

63
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 4: described it as squeezing their throat, and that's really what it

64
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:11,799
Speaker 4: felt like. It just felt like Chris Paul was like, Okay,

65
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,079
Speaker 4: give me the ball. I'm going to close this one

66
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 4: out and make sure that this is a safe one.

67
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:17,640
Speaker 4: He stayed until about two and a half minutes and

68
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 4: left in the game, and it was an eighteen point lead,

69
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 4: and it was just that's what Chris Paul, that's why

70
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 4: the Suns traded for him, you know, to come over

71
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,679
Speaker 4: and show them how to close out these games in

72
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 4: a playoff environment. I thought it was just a really

73
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 4: fun game and a couple of points I took out

74
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 4: from him as well. I thought, I thought DeAndre Ayton

75
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 4: probably wins the battle of the big one big men

76
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 4: in this one. He couldn't really stop Jokic, but I

77
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 4: don't think Jokich could really stop him at the other

78
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 4: end either. I think ate and going twenty and ten

79
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 4: on nine to thirteen shooting, you'll take that every time.

80
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 4: From the Suns. We know Aighton isn't a great defender

81
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:50,839
Speaker 4: and Jokich is one of the toughest guys to match

82
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 4: up on. And I actually thought for Monty Williams, I

83
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 4: thought Jay Crowder did a decent job just bodying Yokich.

84
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 4: He's obviously giving up a ton of height there, but

85
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 4: I thought Jokiic was an a would have just sort

86
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 4: of slipped past him and get any of those easy

87
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 4: buckets late in that third and fourth quarter there to

88
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 4: try to keep Denver in it. So I certainly like

89
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 4: him more than I like, you know, a Saret or

90
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 4: a Kaminsky getting minutes there on Joki. It's not easy

91
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 4: for whoever it is. But I thought the Sons did

92
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 4: a decent job, and I thought Jokich also just ran

93
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,839
Speaker 4: out of gas a little bit in the second half there.

94
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 4: But if you're the Nuggets as well, I saw some

95
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:21,839
Speaker 4: good signs and I think this one, while ended up

96
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,920
Speaker 4: being a pretty convincing victory for the Suns, I saw

97
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:26,839
Speaker 4: some good things as well, and I thought, you know,

98
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,160
Speaker 4: they tried to exploit Devin Book run defense. I think

99
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 4: that's going to be a focus of Theirs going forward.

100
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 4: And I just didn't think it was a terrible game.

101
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:35,919
Speaker 4: I just think it was that third quarter run, the

102
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 4: momentum fans back in Arenas Sons carried it into that

103
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:41,840
Speaker 4: fourth quarter and then Chris Paul closed it out. So

104
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:45,039
Speaker 4: good fun game here and a good win by the

105
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:45,679
Speaker 4: Phoenix Suns.

106
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:49,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, tass the Phoenix Suns crowd it was hype. I

107
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,039
Speaker 1: mean it was coming through on the broadcast like that

108
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 1: crowd was. You could tell they you know, I have

109
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,039
Speaker 1: not had a like sort of meaningful playoff game in

110
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,720
Speaker 1: a very very long time. There. That building was rock

111
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 1: especially like Lie said when they on that third quarter

112
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:02,600
Speaker 1: run where bridges I thought sort of did a lot

113
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:04,359
Speaker 1: of damage. And then in the fourth quarter it was

114
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 1: Chris Paul. He did this all season long. If you

115
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 1: watch Suns games like it was Chris Paul with a

116
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 1: bunch of bench guys usually at the start of the

117
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 1: fourth quarter, building leads putting games away, and that's what

118
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:16,719
Speaker 1: happened here in game one. But a really fun game.

119
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 2: I thought it was a blast. And I think the

120
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 2: MVP might be the audio technician in the building because, yeah,

121
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,600
Speaker 2: we're talking about how loud it was. The fans were

122
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:28,480
Speaker 2: very loud, but the audio technician does a great job

123
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 2: of sneaking in the audio. He's still popping in some

124
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:34,279
Speaker 2: audio there. I was listening with headphones because he was

125
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:36,280
Speaker 2: doing such a good job he was. It was such

126
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,719
Speaker 2: a nice level, never too high, never too low, always

127
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:41,720
Speaker 2: at the right time. Because it did sound like the

128
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 2: Suns were fans were taking over and this was a

129
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 2: home court playoff win for me. The Nuggets have nothing

130
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,839
Speaker 2: to be ashamed of. They were playing so so great.

131
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,480
Speaker 2: This series is going to be a blast. Ten guys

132
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 2: who can make a play on the floor basically at

133
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 2: all times, especially with the starters. It was. It was

134
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,720
Speaker 2: awesome and the Nuggets, yeah, had that lead in the

135
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:03,599
Speaker 2: third quarter, but it's a home court win, and that

136
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 2: sometimes in the playoffs, when the crowd is rocking, when

137
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 2: the audio technician is doing his job, yeah, you're gonna

138
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 2: have a great run. And that's what the Suns did

139
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:16,359
Speaker 2: in that third quarter and everybody, everybody contributing, as Lee said,

140
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 2: especially mckel bridges. It's like found money with him when

141
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 2: he has such an incredible game. Because when the Nuggets

142
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,160
Speaker 2: are out there looking at the perimeter scores for the

143
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 2: Phoenix Suns, obviously you have to run out to Devin

144
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:32,480
Speaker 2: Booker and cover him. Obviously, with Chris Paul back, he

145
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:35,839
Speaker 2: gotta go cover him, and Jay Crowder banging home shots,

146
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 2: you have to cover him. But mckel bridges is the

147
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 2: fourth option on the perimeter. You have to you know,

148
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,159
Speaker 2: you have to expect that mckl bridges will get some

149
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 2: open shots just because of how many great players the

150
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:50,480
Speaker 2: Suns have, and he was taking guys off the bounce,

151
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 2: he was hitting his three point shots. The fact that

152
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:55,599
Speaker 2: he can come in and have a night like that

153
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:58,280
Speaker 2: where he ended up eight of twelve, I believe that

154
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,919
Speaker 2: is that's perfect Sough And the difference in this series

155
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 2: might be Chris Paul being back. I mean, he didn't

156
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:08,480
Speaker 2: look like himself in the first round at all, and

157
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 2: he had an incredible fourth quarter with fourteen of his

158
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 2: twenty one points. Yeah, where he took over. But yeah,

159
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 2: nothing nothing to be ashamed of from the Denver Nuggets.

160
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 2: The one on one battle between Yokichen Ayton the Trey

161
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 2: talked about coming into the series. You know, we'll get

162
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 2: to that was extremely extremely key. That eton everybody talking about,

163
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:29,559
Speaker 2: you know, Luca and Trey from the twenty eighteen draft

164
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 2: class during this postseason, while mckel bridges and DeAndre Ayton

165
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 2: making their names known throughout this game. But this series

166
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 2: is a blast and it's just one game for me.

167
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 2: I think the Nuggets will be back. But yeah, obviously

168
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 2: the Sun's the Son's gotta feel damn good as well.

169
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 2: Getting contributions from one through twelve plus the audio technician

170
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 2: he's there.

171
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess there's I guess the fourteenth man has

172
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 3: got to be Guy Fieri sitting court Sighedyeah, that's a

173
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 3: good omen. If he's sitting courts on, that means your

174
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 3: team could win the championship. I thought he was a

175
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 3: Warriors fan, but if probably his son was rocking the

176
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 3: Sun's jersey. I imagine he has more than one spot

177
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 3: on the West coast, so sure landed a little or

178
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 3: loaning a little star power there. That's when you knew

179
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 3: it was over. But yeah, incredible performance by the Suns,

180
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 3: And I thought, Ayton, like you're saying Lee by not

181
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 3: losing the battle with Jokich, he basically won the battle

182
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 3: with Jokich. If they're gonna play to a draw, that's

183
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 3: an advantage, no doubt for the Suns. He played basically

184
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 3: the exact same minutes as Jokich last night. I think

185
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 3: they both ended up at thirty six minutes and twenty

186
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:36,079
Speaker 3: five seconds, only one personal foul call, and he was

187
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 3: doing such a good job playing straight up defense on

188
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 3: Jokich that the Nuggets weren't able to get those easy

189
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 3: double teams pass past past somebody's shooting a wide open

190
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 3: three maybe Michael Porter Junior from the corner. But if

191
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:49,680
Speaker 3: I'm the Nuggets, I'm feeling all right after this because

192
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 3: that was a lights out game for the Suns. Like

193
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:54,719
Speaker 3: y'all are saying, the crowd was hype, I'm seeing in

194
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:58,439
Speaker 3: the stream teams skeets, they're saying that Phoenix Suns Arena

195
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 3: greater than Addison Square Garden at this point. Maybe it

196
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 3: was the audio technician, I don't know, but after that

197
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 3: alley to Tory Craig in traffic, they showed those kids

198
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 3: going nuts. That's got to be the greatest moment of

199
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 3: their lives as Phoenix Suns fans. That was wild stuff. Nuggets, though,

200
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 3: don't panic. They get better as these series go on.

201
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:19,679
Speaker 3: They figure things out. They've been one of the most

202
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 3: resilient teams in the league the past two years. Obviously,

203
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 3: they came back from down three to one twice. Last

204
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,719
Speaker 3: season they lost Game one against the Blazers. They just

205
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,079
Speaker 3: got to have a little bit better attention to detail.

206
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,560
Speaker 3: I think Michael Malone said they gave up eight and

207
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 3: ones last night. That can't happen. You gotta play a

208
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 3: little bit tougher. You'd be nice if Will Barton came back.

209
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:42,720
Speaker 3: It'd be nice if Michael Porter Junior is healthy, but really,

210
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 3: you just gotta win one game in Phoenix. So bad

211
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 3: one for the Nuggets last night, but didn't seem like

212
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:49,840
Speaker 3: basically anybody was gonna be able to beat the Suns.

213
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:52,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, they were riding high there, especially You're right, I'm

214
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 1: glad you brought up that Tory Craig.

215
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 2: Oop.

216
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 1: My god, I thought the roof was gonna blow off

217
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 1: the place on that one. I was surprised Tory Craig

218
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:00,839
Speaker 1: went up and got that one. Yeah, yeah, I mean

219
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 1: it was pretty high for Tory Craig. I didn't didn't

220
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 1: know he had quite those hops in him, but he

221
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 1: had nine points, seven boards in fifteen minutes against his

222
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 1: former team. He was in Denver for a while, of course,

223
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 1: before making his way till to Milwaukee, and they decided

224
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:15,679
Speaker 1: they didn't want him or need him at all, and

225
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 1: maybe they could use him right now because we'll get

226
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:20,560
Speaker 1: to that series. But yeah, everybody, everybody on the Sun's

227
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 1: played incredible, because even Booker like twenty one and eight

228
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:25,679
Speaker 1: picking his spots, you guys said eight and twenty and ten,

229
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 1: Chris Paul Lee, you called him a technician spot on,

230
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 1: like his ability to just go pick and roll, switch

231
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:37,840
Speaker 1: hunting right, like deciding on the court, like, hmm, who

232
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 1: do I want on me here? Let's make this like

233
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 1: he really is like a chess master in that sense.

234
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 1: Like it's that's why he's called the point guy because

235
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 1: it's like his just control of the game and every

236
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 1: piece on the board is pretty wild, you know, and

237
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 1: he is looking healthier, like you guys said, because it

238
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 1: was just mid range jumper after mid range jumper, usually

239
00:10:57,720 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 1: after a couple switches to get the guy he wanted

240
00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:02,440
Speaker 1: on them, and there was nothing they could do about it.

241
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:03,560
Speaker 1: And then and then if it was the attention was

242
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 1: on him, of course he's going to find the open

243
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 1: guy as well.

244
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean that's what was missing in those couple

245
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 4: of games against the Lakers, in Game two and three

246
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 4: where he just couldn't shoot. He didn't have that confidence

247
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:15,080
Speaker 4: in his arm. But again last night in the fourth quarter,

248
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:16,559
Speaker 4: because it was still a close enough game that the

249
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 4: Nuggets could have gotten back into it, and Chris Paul's like,

250
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 4: there's just no way I'm letting anyone do this, and

251
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:23,960
Speaker 4: so we would dance with the big man, hit that

252
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 4: mid range and then on the on the second chance

253
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 4: opportunity with Paul Millsap there, you could see it coming.

254
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:30,679
Speaker 4: You can see he's going, I'm getting this shut up,

255
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 4: you know, did a little dance afterwards, and again that

256
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:35,680
Speaker 4: was one of those situations that just sort of felt

257
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 4: with that home crowd behind them, it was just a

258
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 4: dagger and there was still about eight minutes to go

259
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 4: in the game, but it just felt like, Okay, Chris

260
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 4: Paul is not walking off the court with a loss

261
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:45,960
Speaker 4: here tonight. So he is so incredibly fun to watch

262
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 4: when he's at his best. You know, like a lot

263
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 4: of guys when they're just feeling it and then in

264
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 4: that groove and they decide how they're going to go

265
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 4: about scoring or setting up their teammates, it's fun to watch.

266
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 4: So yeah, this really does set up to be a

267
00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 4: fascinating series though, because it certainly wasn't even embarrassing loss

268
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 4: for Denver. It was just they just sort of got

269
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 4: outplayed there for you know, a quarter and a half

270
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 4: and it really wasn't even qureter up. It was about

271
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 4: it was about a twelve minute to forty minute stretch

272
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 4: over that third period into the fourth period where they

273
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 4: got outplayed, but that was enough for Phoenix to take

274
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:15,960
Speaker 4: this one. So interested to see how they respond to

275
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 4: this one the Nuggets, because, as Trey was saying, they

276
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 4: pretty much often lose the first game of a series

277
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 4: and then they start to figure out. It's almost that

278
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 4: the Lebron's strategy. They lose on me, they you know,

279
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:28,960
Speaker 4: they do that and then things get going. So but again,

280
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 4: so enough good signs that the Nuggets are going to

281
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 4: have another one, except for, you know, their back court

282
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 4: wasn't very good and then Monte Morriss off the bench

283
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:37,200
Speaker 4: was pretty bad for them in this one.

284
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 1: But he was fantastic in the league, exactly exactly in

285
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 1: the Blazer series.

286
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 4: In the Blazer series, he gave him real punch off

287
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 4: the bench, but just not last night. But that's okay.

288
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:47,440
Speaker 4: It's one game, first game of the seven game series.

289
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:50,320
Speaker 4: So I expect a better performance from Denver in game two.

290
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, you pointed out truly one thing that I thought was,

291
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 1: you know, good for the Nuggets. I guess was putting

292
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,199
Speaker 1: Devin Booker in action, and Aaron Gordon went out on

293
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 1: multiple time and sort of had his way with I mean,

294
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 1: he's obviously much bigger, I thought eron Gordon was aggressive.

295
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:06,080
Speaker 1: Now the flip side of that is maybe the Sons

296
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:08,840
Speaker 1: are like, that's okay, We'll live with that any day

297
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 1: of the week. Aaron Gordon's gonna beat us, are you

298
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 1: kidding me? Sure, make the ball go to him as

299
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:16,319
Speaker 1: much as possible, meet him, take as many shots. But

300
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,080
Speaker 1: if that's the strategy or not from the Suns defense,

301
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:21,559
Speaker 1: I don't know. But he did play well, I thought,

302
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:23,320
Speaker 1: and put Booker in the basket a couple of times

303
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:25,320
Speaker 1: because he's just way bigger than him.

304
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, that's just one way they can try to

305
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 4: exploit a mismatch there because and also you saw Gordon

306
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:32,680
Speaker 4: on Booker on the other end a couple of times

307
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 4: as well, so that you know you can't have Jokis

308
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 4: just have to control every single offensive possession. Other guys

309
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:41,200
Speaker 4: have got to say, Okay, I've got Booker, I'm just

310
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 4: going to go inside finished eight for fourteen eighteen points.

311
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 4: That's not a bad return there from Aaron Gordon. So

312
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 4: I think he's just going to see it again. I mean,

313
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 4: this is something we haven't seen so far for what

314
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 4: Trey Young's had to do for the Atlanta Hawk. So

315
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 4: I think in that aspect, Mike and Malone's like, you know,

316
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 4: we have to find other guys, have to be able

317
00:13:57,440 --> 00:13:59,120
Speaker 4: to go out there and create a basket for themselves.

318
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 4: We have to have other guys contributing to the offense.

319
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 4: So I expect to see them try to do that

320
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 4: more often because Gooden's a big load there. I mean,

321
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 4: he's got what he's got at least five six inches

322
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 4: I think on Devin Booker. So you've got an advantage

323
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 4: like that, you've got to try to exploit it.

324
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:14,840
Speaker 1: Task. Do you think the Nuggets do need Will Barton

325
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:17,960
Speaker 1: or PJ Dozier back in this series, like to pull

326
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 1: it out or can they do it even without them

327
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 1: if those guys didn't play it and by all accounts,

328
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 1: they might be back this series at some point.

329
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good question, because the Suns feel like

330
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 2: they have more weaponry in every position. So yeah, my

331
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 2: first thought is sure the Nuggets could use some more offense,

332
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 2: but I think they need more joker. I don't like

333
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 2: the offense going through Aaron Gordon very often. I don't

334
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 2: think it makes a lot of sense for him to

335
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 2: be their second leading scorer. Yeah, that's a win for

336
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 2: the Suns. I think Joker needs to have a bit

337
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 2: of a better game. I mean, he was solid out there,

338
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 2: but the ball was, you know, doing a little bit.

339
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 2: It was slipping through his fingers a little bit. He

340
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 2: just didn't have a great Joker game at ten of

341
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:58,920
Speaker 2: twenty three. He can shoot better in that and four turnovers.

342
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:03,200
Speaker 2: Wasn't a perfect Joker game. And that's and that's entirely fine.

343
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 2: But you know, when you're on the road and it's

344
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 2: a tough game, you just can't afford to have these

345
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 2: little runs. Like at the end of the second quarter

346
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 2: they had a chance the Nuggets did to increase that lead,

347
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 2: and Joker passed up a shot or he was in

348
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 2: the post actually with Jay Crowder, and he told the

349
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 2: composito to go to the other side and then they

350
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 2: threw it way over. It was a crazy pass from

351
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 2: the other side of the court to get it to

352
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 2: the post to him, and he chucked it sort of

353
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 2: off the side of the backward it. It was a

354
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 2: bad shot on the near side, and then the next

355
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 2: possession went through Porter Junior's hands. They just have to

356
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 2: be sharper, and you know, I get the idea, Hey,

357
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:42,560
Speaker 2: we need these guys back, but at the same time,

358
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 2: what if they struggle for a game and a half

359
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 2: or two because they're rusty with the Suns. He just

360
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 2: they're not going to falter. I don't think the Suns

361
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 2: are going to beat themselves in this game. So I

362
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 2: get the idea, but there's there's worry that comes with that,

363
00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 2: especially with Chris Paul. I mean, I think I think

364
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 2: the sharp guys on the Nuggts just have to be

365
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 2: sharp because it seems like Chris Paul is back. Baby,

366
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 2: it seems like they have another guy to help close

367
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 2: a game. Devin Booker didn't have to close game one whatsoever.

368
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 2: That Chris Paul was up, was handling the ball up

369
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:15,400
Speaker 2: sixteen two thirty left, Devin Booker was looking for it.

370
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 2: Chris Paul said, look at the clock. I mean you

371
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:20,800
Speaker 2: could you can see on the iso of him, on

372
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:23,880
Speaker 2: the close up of him. We got time. Let's let's

373
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:26,040
Speaker 2: chill out, let me dribble out. You can run around.

374
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 2: We'll give it to you later in the possession. Devin

375
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 2: Booker didn't have to be that guy. He's going to

376
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 2: be that guy at some point. So some things to

377
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 2: worry about. But yeah, it's a good question about will

378
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 2: and I would say no, I would say I'm just

379
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 2: worried now that the Nuggets don't get one here in Phoenix,

380
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 2: So you know, rust rust isn't a great idea right

381
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 2: now for further Nuggets for me anyway.

382
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 1: In bringing some of those guys back. Yeah, and we

383
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 1: did see them, Like we said, Monte Morris was incredible

384
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 1: in the last series. Austin Rivers had incredible moments in

385
00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 1: the last series. Composo had his moments, had a beautiful

386
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 1: pass in this one too. I'm sure you were geeking

387
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:03,280
Speaker 1: out over that one that little over the head flicked

388
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:06,120
Speaker 1: back to Joker. But yeah, I think they could. Really

389
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:08,720
Speaker 1: he was a guy like Will Barton at this point,

390
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 1: because you just like, have you already gotten more than

391
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:13,639
Speaker 1: you even hoped for from some of those guys I

392
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 1: just mentioned, like sort of the Nuggets reserves that have

393
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:18,480
Speaker 1: been pushed into these more starting minutes, And maybe you're

394
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 1: right to ask it could backfire, But I guess we'll

395
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 1: see what happens in game two. I don't think there's

396
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:23,879
Speaker 1: any like word that he's going to be back for

397
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:26,239
Speaker 1: Game two. Maybe it is the hope that then get

398
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:27,679
Speaker 1: them back when they go back to Denver. Here for

399
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 1: three or four. So I think that's what they said

400
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:31,119
Speaker 1: at the start of the series. Somewhere in the middle,

401
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:33,359
Speaker 1: maybe you could expect a Will Barton, maybe even a PJ.

402
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:37,359
Speaker 1: Doser back more bodies. Yeah, at least give it a go,

403
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 1: and if they look real rusty or not healthy enough,

404
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:41,919
Speaker 1: then you know whatever, you just go back to what

405
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:43,480
Speaker 1: you were working with in the first round. But I

406
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:46,160
Speaker 1: think they could really you guys, like just Barton's energy alone,

407
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:47,920
Speaker 1: because you said that there's so many guys out there

408
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:51,080
Speaker 1: flying around for the Suns, and that ball moves. You know,

409
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:53,639
Speaker 1: he is athletic and he can at least contribute a

410
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:56,120
Speaker 1: little bit just to the mayhem of this game. Because

411
00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:58,480
Speaker 1: it was back and forth tray. It was like right

412
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:00,719
Speaker 1: from the jump, it was like, oh, rusted at all

413
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 1: with these teams. In the first couple of minutes in

414
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:05,640
Speaker 1: the first quarter, it was like, Wow, this is awesome basketball.

415
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 3: Now.

416
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 1: I don't know if that was compounded by the fact

417
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:09,119
Speaker 1: that we just watched the Nets hammer the Bucks and

418
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 1: we were like watched like twenty four minutes of pointless

419
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:14,439
Speaker 1: basketball in the second half there, but the energy and

420
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 1: just the execution I thought was pretty high for both

421
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:17,119
Speaker 1: these teams.

422
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, no doubt. The first half looked like the series

423
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 3: that we were expecting, and the second half looked like

424
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:24,640
Speaker 3: home court advantage was a real thing, because in that

425
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 3: third quarter, once Bridges started heating up, that was the

426
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:31,600
Speaker 3: first time that the Nuggets really didn't respond to kind

427
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:33,960
Speaker 3: of a hit that the Sons had made that gave

428
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:36,720
Speaker 3: them the energy. They threw the oop to Tory Craig,

429
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:38,920
Speaker 3: crowds going wild, and then Chris Paul took over there

430
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:41,200
Speaker 3: in the fourth quarter. That was really the Sons. I

431
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:44,119
Speaker 3: felt right in the wave of the fans is really impressive,

432
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 3: and you know, they just smelled blood in the water

433
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:48,440
Speaker 3: and they went after the Nuggets, and the Nuggets weren't

434
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:50,919
Speaker 3: able to respond where they have been in the past.

435
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,119
Speaker 3: I'm with the skeets. Having more bodies will help, just

436
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 3: so that when it's an Austin Rivers game, not in

437
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:57,640
Speaker 3: the good way, when he's got seven points, you can

438
00:18:57,680 --> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 3: try somebody else.

439
00:18:58,520 --> 00:18:58,679
Speaker 2: You know.

440
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 3: Jamichael Green was one of the guys out there closing

441
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 3: for the Nuggets last night. Part of that was because

442
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:07,639
Speaker 3: Michael Porter Junior had a rap on his back. Not

443
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 3: a great sign if you're a Nuggets fan, but they

444
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:13,119
Speaker 3: had to have somebody out there. Maybe you would like

445
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 3: to have it be PJ. Dojer. That guy's a pretty

446
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:17,080
Speaker 3: solid defender, but he also hasn't played in a little bit.

447
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 3: Maybe you would like it to be Will Barton a

448
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:21,159
Speaker 3: little more juice off the dribble also hasn't played in

449
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 3: a little bit. Yeah, tasses right though it starts with Jokich.

450
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 3: He's got to beat plus thirty every single game for

451
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:27,200
Speaker 3: the Nuggets to win this thing.

452
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's pretty wild. I mean, this is where he's

453
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:31,920
Speaker 1: at in his career already. Lee he goes for twenty

454
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:34,439
Speaker 1: two and nine and it's like it's just it's just

455
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:36,719
Speaker 1: not good enough, especially with no Jamal Murray and had

456
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 1: little help against a great Suns team. And that's fine.

457
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 1: I mean, I think that's fair. When you're a superstar,

458
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 1: we do it with you, honest, we do it with

459
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 1: a bunch of guys like twenty two and nine. Yeah,

460
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 1: from you recently, that's not amazing game. And and Ayton

461
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:51,439
Speaker 1: deserves a lot of credit though, because he might be

462
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:54,199
Speaker 1: strong enough, like young enough, he can get up and

463
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:55,800
Speaker 1: down the floor. Of course, put a little pressure on

464
00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 1: Yokic that way too, and just having him trying to

465
00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 1: keep up that. You know, he deserves some for keeping

466
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:03,880
Speaker 1: at least jol kitchen check here and Trey going into

467
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:05,440
Speaker 1: the series was like, Eaton's got to stay out of

468
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:07,560
Speaker 1: foul trouble and so far, so good in Game one,

469
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:09,160
Speaker 1: like you guys said, the only one foul there.

470
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, and he only had three assists as well Jokic,

471
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:13,960
Speaker 4: which just shows again I haven't broken it down as

472
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:16,399
Speaker 4: far as how many assists potentials he had out there,

473
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 4: as far as mishots, but that's the sort of thing

474
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 4: I think that Monty Williams is trying to take away.

475
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:23,399
Speaker 4: Is like, if Yokich is at his best and he's

476
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:25,560
Speaker 4: getting eight or nine assists and putting up twenty five

477
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 4: to thirty points, I would say the Nuggets win a

478
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:30,359
Speaker 4: high percentage of those games. So they took away kind

479
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 4: of both of those really, you know, kept his scoring

480
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:34,919
Speaker 4: down and kept his assist down and then you have

481
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 4: to rely on other guys to get the points there.

482
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:38,720
Speaker 4: So I think that was just a really good strategy

483
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 4: that the Sun's tried last night, and it worked. And again,

484
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:44,639
Speaker 4: it only worked really for that sort of you know,

485
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 4: twelve to fourteen minute period because in the first half,

486
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 4: it looked like the Nuggets were in complete control here

487
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:51,439
Speaker 4: without Jokich having to do it all. So you know,

488
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 4: they just have to get contributions from everybody. Have guys

489
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 4: hit shots. And that's why I don't I sort of

490
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:58,880
Speaker 4: don't think that, you know, by any means, this game

491
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,200
Speaker 4: is is going to play it like this for the

492
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:02,919
Speaker 4: rest of the series. You know, the Nuggets are going

493
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:06,399
Speaker 4: to have a counter attack and then they're going to

494
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:08,879
Speaker 4: have guys who hit shots, and when that happens, the

495
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:10,639
Speaker 4: pressure is going to be on Phoenix. So you know,

496
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 4: it was just it was a good battle, and you know,

497
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:15,200
Speaker 4: ultimately it came down I think to Chris Paul basically

498
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:17,479
Speaker 4: putting this game out of reach for his team. And

499
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:19,119
Speaker 4: now it's up to the Suns to sort of the

500
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:21,480
Speaker 4: Nuggets to find a way to counter that, and I

501
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:23,720
Speaker 4: think they will. So I think this one, I hope

502
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 4: we get a seven game series because I think it

503
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:27,880
Speaker 4: could be seven fun games at least like last night.

504
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 1: My final note from this one, I don't know if

505
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:32,480
Speaker 1: anybody else has anything. It was fun to see Devin

506
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:37,560
Speaker 1: Booker replicate his pose, his signature lying on the ground,

507
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:40,120
Speaker 1: but like the little head up after the end one

508
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:42,200
Speaker 1: because we saw that that was on the game winner,

509
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 1: right versus the Clippers back in the bubble when they

510
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:47,640
Speaker 1: went eight, No, and you know stick's maybe well sticks higher.

511
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:49,199
Speaker 1: I guess you're in a playoff series. But you know,

512
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:51,160
Speaker 1: I wasn't a game winner, but the end one tray

513
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 1: and he went with the exact same pulls like it

514
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 1: looks identical. I saw identical, But I was like, when

515
00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:58,240
Speaker 1: was that was that last year?

516
00:21:58,280 --> 00:21:58,359
Speaker 3: No?

517
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:00,600
Speaker 1: That was last night. That's spot on.

518
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:03,720
Speaker 3: Look the exact same looks like he's going down one

519
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:06,439
Speaker 3: of those body slides at a water park. You know,

520
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:08,399
Speaker 3: you gotta gotta keep your head up, don't want to

521
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 3: hit your head on the back of it. But a

522
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:13,680
Speaker 3: weird thing to become a signature celebration, just waiting there

523
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 3: and looking up to see what's going on. But I'm

524
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,040
Speaker 3: all for it. It was pretty funny to see a

525
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 3: second time.

526
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, but he missed the free throw.

527
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 1: It's true, only you would bring that up.

528
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:27,520
Speaker 4: Well, he missed two free throws last night. He's a

529
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:28,560
Speaker 4: beautiful shoot of a bowl.

530
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:35,880
Speaker 1: Any other notes from the Sun's Nuggets Game one, anybody, I.

531
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 2: Just got a question, how how do we feel about

532
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:43,360
Speaker 2: incorrect grammar in a tweet that they throw up on

533
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:46,360
Speaker 2: the broadcast, because I think they're doing a really good

534
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 2: job of putting in some tweets, integrating tweets, because usually

535
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 2: you know, that's a little forced. Oh here's a tweet,

536
00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:57,720
Speaker 2: here's a guy, here's a gift that's funny, but nice,

537
00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:00,720
Speaker 2: slick interface. I think at the Botto it was Jamal

538
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 2: Crawford's tweet that came up and said, I'm biased, but

539
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:06,959
Speaker 2: I think the Sons are a great team. I'm biased,

540
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:11,240
Speaker 2: b I A s not biased. Uh look, look, I'm

541
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 2: okay with it. People make mistakes, but why don't just

542
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:17,280
Speaker 2: what you're just photoshopping an e D I mean, why not?

543
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 1: Oh you can't do that? Then we got fake tweets here?

544
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 2: Yes, well, jacket chick, I like it.

545
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:28,520
Speaker 1: I do like it that they don't have to address

546
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 1: it all the time. Yeah, Like, I think that's actually better.

547
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:34,000
Speaker 1: Like there was a George carl tweet off the top

548
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 1: of my head, and like, yeah, you said, Jamal Crawford.

549
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:38,040
Speaker 1: There was a couple other ones, but they're not like

550
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:40,480
Speaker 1: the broadcast is not like, hey, let's look and read

551
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 1: this tweet. It's not tweeted the night.

552
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:46,240
Speaker 3: You know, I'm okay, alright, that tweet that happened.

553
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:48,840
Speaker 4: I'm kind of surprised Jamal Crovet hasn't tweeted I haven't

554
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:51,520
Speaker 4: retired yet, f y I yeah, yeah, he's never going

555
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:54,040
Speaker 4: to retire. He'll be available on a roster when he's

556
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:56,160
Speaker 4: fifty four. I think Jamal cro kep himself in drive

557
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:57,280
Speaker 4: shit kicking himself ready.

558
00:23:57,280 --> 00:23:57,720
Speaker 3: So he was.

559
00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 2: He was on a podcast with David Aldridge on the

560
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 2: Athletic NBA Show. I think it was. It wasn't more

561
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 2: than a month ago, and he was basically saying like, yeah,

562
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:10,600
Speaker 2: I'm ready, because he is ready obviously, but yeah, I

563
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:13,480
Speaker 2: get why you like the Suns man. The Sons are great.

564
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:16,520
Speaker 2: DeAndre and living to his potential, That's what I was.

565
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:18,639
Speaker 3: Actually a little surprised that he was biased for the

566
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:22,159
Speaker 3: Sons too. I mean, Jamal Crawford did play for the Suns. Yeah,

567
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:23,840
Speaker 3: he played for a lot of teams, and I would

568
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:26,400
Speaker 3: say that the Sons were not his most notable team

569
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:29,359
Speaker 3: very much at the end of his career. But I

570
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:31,679
Speaker 3: don't know, I guess I guess you put that jersey

571
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:34,679
Speaker 3: on you hear those fans, you walk in the stick,

572
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:36,439
Speaker 3: You'll never forget it.

573
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:40,440
Speaker 2: I guess this game. Yeah, he's fifty with the Suns.

574
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:43,440
Speaker 2: Right before he went to the Nets, they played.

575
00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:45,320
Speaker 3: They played with one game with the Nets after he

576
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:46,640
Speaker 3: biased for the Nets as.

577
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:49,639
Speaker 2: Well, only when he was good, only when he.

578
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:53,960
Speaker 1: Was When you think of Jamal Crawford, what's the number

579
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:58,480
Speaker 1: one team? You think of clip Clippers? Yeah? Then then

580
00:24:58,520 --> 00:24:59,679
Speaker 1: what team bowls?

581
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 3: He was drafted by the best?

582
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 2: I think next probably.

583
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:06,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, next too. I forgot he was drafted by the Bulls.

584
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:08,199
Speaker 1: Still heard that he's played for a lot of teams

585
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 1: and he'll probably be back in the league.

586
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:11,000
Speaker 2: Which is, what did you do? Fifty with the next

587
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 2: fifty with the Sun's fifty with the Warriors?

588
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 4: Warrior is Yeah, he got it with four teams. I

589
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:18,000
Speaker 4: think that's the I think he's holy crap. Yeah, I

590
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:19,440
Speaker 4: think he's the only guy who's done it with four

591
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:20,080
Speaker 4: different teams.

592
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:20,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think.

593
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 1: Oh least fact checking here we go, all right, well

594
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:26,160
Speaker 1: we'll take a quick break. Well you fact checked that, Lee.

595
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:28,359
Speaker 1: We'll find out after the break. But let's hear from

596
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 1: our sponsors here. All right, I've been waiting for what

597
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:35,360
Speaker 1: was that? I don't know. Good two and a half

598
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:37,479
Speaker 1: minutes Lee, you've been taping away like crazy.

599
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:38,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, what's got it?

600
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 1: What's the outcome here? With that Crawford stat.

601
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:44,399
Speaker 4: In two thousand and four for Chicago versus Toronto, he

602
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 4: had fifty. In two thousand and seven for the Knicks

603
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:49,640
Speaker 4: versus Miami, had fifty two. In two thousand and eight

604
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:52,200
Speaker 4: for the Warriors versus Charlotte, he had fifty and then

605
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:54,760
Speaker 4: the fifty one against the Mavericks in his last game,

606
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:57,520
Speaker 4: joining Carl Malone and Michael Jordan. Is only thirty nine

607
00:25:57,560 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 4: year olds with forty point games and the oldest player

608
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:02,560
Speaker 4: with a fifty.

609
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:05,359
Speaker 1: Kimming up for Leo was calling it four teams. I

610
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:07,680
Speaker 1: don't remember the Warriors one that one?

611
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:10,040
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, was that his first one that I say?

612
00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:10,399
Speaker 3: No?

613
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:16,680
Speaker 2: Good one? Yeah? Wow? Yeah, yeah, all right.

614
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 1: I go. Good Crawford stats there for you. Coming back

615
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:21,440
Speaker 1: from the break. Okay, let's get to the other game

616
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:26,359
Speaker 1: from last night, not as exciting. Kevin Durant drops thirty

617
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:29,040
Speaker 1: two nets, go up two zero in their series with

618
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:32,880
Speaker 1: the Bucks one twenty five to eighty six. It actually

619
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:36,280
Speaker 1: wasn't even that close, Tray.

620
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:39,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, just yesterday I pitched you the guys the idea

621
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:43,080
Speaker 3: that the Bucks Losing Game one in a blowout to

622
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:46,199
Speaker 3: the Nets without James Harden was a good thing. Not

623
00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:49,280
Speaker 3: a ton of pushback, I'll say, not a ton. They

624
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:54,160
Speaker 3: shot terrible in game one, the next were extra good. Thinking, Hey,

625
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:59,480
Speaker 3: game one, worst possible outcome, right, Nope, Game two happened

626
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:02,800
Speaker 3: and I got then four Ya Bucks fans. Literally, the

627
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:05,080
Speaker 3: best thing that happened for Milwaukee last night is that

628
00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:08,600
Speaker 3: they didn't trail by fifty forty nine, as Ernie Johnson

629
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:12,840
Speaker 3: was pointing out, never fifty. Kevin Durant scored thirty two

630
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:16,760
Speaker 3: points in three quarters. The Bucks tried a zone early

631
00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 3: in this game. Kevin Durant, though he's seven foot tall,

632
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:22,879
Speaker 3: he just shot right over the top of it. Best

633
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:26,360
Speaker 3: player in the world status was engaged fully last night.

634
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:30,120
Speaker 3: He's seeing Jared Greenberg post game. Kyrie Irving added an

635
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:33,399
Speaker 3: easy twenty two points. The Nets went twenty one of

636
00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 3: forty two from three point land the sixers. They might

637
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:39,159
Speaker 3: be the Generation X, but I think the Nets are

638
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:43,560
Speaker 3: the Rock because they laugh the smack if down last night.

639
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:47,359
Speaker 3: This was horrible for the Bucks. Jiannis looked lost, the

640
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:50,080
Speaker 3: Nets were not even close to guarding him, and even

641
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:52,480
Speaker 3: Marv Albert was calling him out for taking two many threes.

642
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:56,600
Speaker 3: Chris Middleton drew Holliday thirty points on thirty shots. The

643
00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 3: Bucks went eight of twenty seven from three. They basically

644
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:01,960
Speaker 3: tried to turn this into a shooting contest with the

645
00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:05,680
Speaker 3: Nets advantage Nets. This is like a one versus eight

646
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:07,919
Speaker 3: series so far, not a two versus three with the

647
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:11,359
Speaker 3: possible NBA Finals champion coming out of this. A disappointing

648
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:13,919
Speaker 3: first two games in this series, and I don't know,

649
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:16,000
Speaker 3: Bucks need to figure out how to play basketball again.

650
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:18,240
Speaker 3: Are Bud's gonna get fired before Game four?

651
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:20,359
Speaker 1: I was just gonna say, that's what people were saying.

652
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:23,680
Speaker 1: Can you find your coach mid series tasks? It's never

653
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:25,879
Speaker 1: been done before. I don't think Lea. I might need

654
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:27,919
Speaker 1: you to fact check me on that food and Hoolzer?

655
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:31,040
Speaker 1: Will it be canned before games three or four? What

656
00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:33,159
Speaker 1: did you think? I Meanlyn Nets were pretty damn special

657
00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:34,879
Speaker 1: and the Bucks were got awful again.

658
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:39,440
Speaker 4: How the fuck are they so unprepared for that game?

659
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:43,920
Speaker 4: The Milwaukee Bucks. Honestly, that to me looked like Look

660
00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 4: in game one, James Todden went out forty three seconds. Okay,

661
00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 4: that's an early loss there for the nets. The Bucks

662
00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 4: knew that Harden wasn't playing. They have an advantage there

663
00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 4: with Yannis. Go inside, go inside, try to create something

664
00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 4: against Blake, even if Kevin durants on you there. It

665
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:02,640
Speaker 4: fell to me like the Bucks were basically like, let's

666
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:05,600
Speaker 4: just brook Lopez was their best offensive weapon in that

667
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 4: first quarter, Yannis and Chris Middleton, when it combined one

668
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:11,760
Speaker 4: for ten in that first quarter, Yarnas didn't even take

669
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:14,880
Speaker 4: one close to the rim in the first quarter. That

670
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 4: to me is on Yannis, of course he's the player

671
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:20,520
Speaker 4: out in the court, but it's also on Budenholzer, Like,

672
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:23,240
Speaker 4: why aren't you saying, Okay, guys, we're just gonna pound

673
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:26,640
Speaker 4: this ball inside, Gay like play after playoff to play,

674
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:29,120
Speaker 4: We're going inside. That's how we're gonna score. We're gonna

675
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:31,240
Speaker 4: put them under pressure defensively, Yannas, you're getting to the

676
00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:33,680
Speaker 4: free throw line. You're gonna shoot twenty five three free

677
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:36,320
Speaker 4: throws in this game? No, he shot seven.

678
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:38,520
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, how many would you make of

679
00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:39,600
Speaker 1: twenty five free throws?

680
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:43,680
Speaker 4: Like he shoot, he's proble, He's made He's attempted eight

681
00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:46,400
Speaker 4: three pointers in this series and ten free throws. I

682
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:49,320
Speaker 4: mean that's again partly on Bard, but it's also on

683
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:52,120
Speaker 4: Yannis to be like, what do you like? Go in there,

684
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:54,000
Speaker 4: go in and have some sort of play. He had

685
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 4: a little baseline fade away Okay, He's hit that okay

686
00:29:57,080 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 4: at some point throughout the season. But in the first quarter,

687
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:02,960
Speaker 4: got to be inside, aggressive and attacking, and Chris Middleton

688
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 4: he came down, shot a three, a rush three, and

689
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 4: then a fade away long two over over. Guess who

690
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:10,800
Speaker 4: he shot that over. I looked at it this morning

691
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:12,400
Speaker 4: because I couldn't believe it when I was watching it.

692
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:15,400
Speaker 4: Guess who who would be the worst person to shoot

693
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:18,600
Speaker 4: a fade away long two over about a minute into

694
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:19,000
Speaker 4: the game.

695
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:24,680
Speaker 1: Kevin Durant. Kevin duran Yeah, I mean, like that's his

696
00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:28,240
Speaker 1: Chris Middleton shut his pants, of course he did. Yeah,

697
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:31,760
Speaker 1: he panicked after it, But that's what I mean, Chris Middleton.

698
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:33,800
Speaker 4: Look, Chris Middleton doesn't get to the free throw line

699
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:36,040
Speaker 4: of time, about four attempts a game throughout the season.

700
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:38,200
Speaker 4: He's been there to a free throw so far in

701
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 4: this game. At some point you think that the Bucks

702
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:43,080
Speaker 4: are like, we just got to get someone inside, just

703
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:44,960
Speaker 4: get a free throw, get to the line. Do something

704
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:48,320
Speaker 4: that that was the most embarrassing performance from a team

705
00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:51,880
Speaker 4: that legit thinks that to contender. Last night, Budenholzers seemed

706
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:55,200
Speaker 4: completely lost and he at no point was just like, guys,

707
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:57,960
Speaker 4: take it ball inside. Somebody take the ball inside. Put

708
00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:00,360
Speaker 4: Blake Griffin. Blake Griffin threw down a dunek because if

709
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 4: it was ten years ago, last night he looked great.

710
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:07,160
Speaker 4: So I think this was a humiliation for Milwaukee and

711
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:09,720
Speaker 4: they have to do some serious soul searching to turn

712
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:12,640
Speaker 4: this series around, because you can't go out and get

713
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:15,720
Speaker 4: punked by fifty. It wasn't fifty, but it was fifty.

714
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:19,120
Speaker 4: I'm rounding up here, nine, I'm rounding up here because

715
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:23,120
Speaker 4: they deserve to be humiliated completely by this. When again

716
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:25,280
Speaker 4: James Harden sitting on the bench looking like a waiter

717
00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:27,160
Speaker 4: out there, I thought he was gonna start serving drinks

718
00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:30,560
Speaker 4: to people in the first row. Because Kevin Durant, I think,

719
00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:33,480
Speaker 4: finished with thirty two points. Kevin Durant had the easiest

720
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:36,280
Speaker 4: thirty two points of his life last night. There was

721
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:38,840
Speaker 4: nothing out there Kyrie having I mean, he's what are.

722
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:40,600
Speaker 1: These sports to do with this? I mean, in all honesty,

723
00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:43,680
Speaker 1: when he looks like this, Durant twelve of eighteen, six assists,

724
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:47,560
Speaker 1: a couple boards, whatever, Like PJ. Tucker is too slow. Yeah,

725
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:50,040
Speaker 1: Drew Holliday, who is a great defender. If you actually

726
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:52,520
Speaker 1: watch the possessions where he's on Durant, you're like, damn,

727
00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:54,400
Speaker 1: look at him, move, let him stand front, bitie Hi

728
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:56,720
Speaker 1: up a little bit. But he's just too small because

729
00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:58,880
Speaker 1: then Duran just like, I'll just shoot over you. And

730
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:00,920
Speaker 1: then you know, Yannis got him a couple of times,

731
00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:04,160
Speaker 1: and Kady broke his ankles two or three times. I'd

732
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:07,600
Speaker 1: like at that point when Katy's like, you know, pre injury,

733
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:10,760
Speaker 1: Katy at the height of his ability, Katy, there is

734
00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:12,560
Speaker 1: no way. I don't know even what Bud supposed to

735
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:14,840
Speaker 1: be doing this situation, but yeah, make it a little

736
00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:18,240
Speaker 1: more tough, difficult, I get it. But he just looked

737
00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:19,400
Speaker 1: unstoppable to me.

738
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:19,840
Speaker 2: Duranted.

739
00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:23,000
Speaker 4: Lastly, good offense always beats good defense, no doubt about it.

740
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:24,720
Speaker 4: But if he puts up thirty two and it's all

741
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 4: on Yannis, You're like, well, that was the best chance.

742
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:29,440
Speaker 4: That was their best chance, not PJ. Tucker had two

743
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:32,200
Speaker 4: fouls early and PJ Tucker just he's looking like Danny

744
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:34,800
Speaker 4: green on Trey Young out there. Sure he's physical, moves

745
00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:38,960
Speaker 4: his feet, but cannot compare contest those shots. And again Durant, no,

746
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:40,680
Speaker 4: there's no like, oh, just do this and you'll stop

747
00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:43,520
Speaker 4: Kevin Ram. He looks so in his groove last night.

748
00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 4: But come on, man, Bud Budenhols has got to do

749
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:48,120
Speaker 4: something and just say, Yannis, all right, he's yours man.

750
00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:51,280
Speaker 4: Do whatever you can because otherwise we're just getting embarrassed.

751
00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:53,280
Speaker 4: And it looks like I have no idea what I'm doing.

752
00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:55,520
Speaker 4: And sadly that's it. I mean, game two. This was

753
00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:58,280
Speaker 4: not technically a must win, but surely it was not

754
00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:00,360
Speaker 4: a forty nine point loss either. And this was over

755
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:03,720
Speaker 4: in the first half. This was I was disgusted with

756
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:05,120
Speaker 4: the Bucks performance last night.

757
00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:09,000
Speaker 3: This something You're going to ground the Bucks. I just

758
00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:10,720
Speaker 3: know basketball until Sunday.

759
00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:12,360
Speaker 1: He's not angry, he's disappointed.

760
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:15,480
Speaker 4: Like like Roxanne came down and said, I, how's the

761
00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:19,560
Speaker 4: game going. I say, I'm saying, my bootenholes are has

762
00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:22,560
Speaker 4: forgotten more about basketball than I will ever know. He's

763
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:25,360
Speaker 4: an NBA coach, right, But I'm sitting here going how

764
00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:28,080
Speaker 4: can he not run anything to get Yannis just moving

765
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:31,200
Speaker 4: towards the basket, run four screens. If you have to, Yarnis,

766
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:33,040
Speaker 4: you just go inside. We're going to put the ball

767
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:34,880
Speaker 4: up high, you catch it, and you just flip it in.

768
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:36,280
Speaker 4: That's it. Because they've got no one who can.

769
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:39,320
Speaker 2: Yanis decided not to go inside too. He had Blake

770
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:41,640
Speaker 2: in front of him, standing in his way, and he

771
00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:44,120
Speaker 2: should have danced around him like he always does, or

772
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:46,680
Speaker 2: gone through him and just allowed Blake to pick up

773
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:48,680
Speaker 2: a fowl because that's what would have happened, and he didn't.

774
00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:50,320
Speaker 2: He but he can also run it.

775
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:52,600
Speaker 4: He can also run a screen to say, all right,

776
00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:54,480
Speaker 4: if Blake's there, we're just going to run somebody, so

777
00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:54,840
Speaker 4: you can.

778
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:58,640
Speaker 1: Give me the feet from the net. It's like the

779
00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:01,440
Speaker 1: dumbest thing they could do. And then we've seen this before,

780
00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:02,280
Speaker 1: so it's nothing new.

781
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:04,800
Speaker 4: When Nick Claxton came on, he's picking Jan's up, saying

782
00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:06,960
Speaker 4: the threes there if you want to, I'll just pass

783
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:09,839
Speaker 4: it off to someone else. Jannis, come on, man, what

784
00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:13,040
Speaker 4: is going on out there? Not one legit shot in

785
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:16,040
Speaker 4: the paint in the first quarter for Yannis. That is

786
00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:19,200
Speaker 4: just that's just outrageous to me, outrageous.

787
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:22,800
Speaker 1: Wow are you are you as upset with Jannis and

788
00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:26,239
Speaker 1: Bud and the Bucks. As Lee Ellis is here this morning.

789
00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:31,080
Speaker 2: Oh obviously I'm furious. Danielle came downstairs and he asked,

790
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:34,720
Speaker 2: how's the game going? And I said, what an embarrassment?

791
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:38,440
Speaker 2: What an absolute embarrassment? I thought, Yeah, listen, your star

792
00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:41,280
Speaker 2: has got to play like stars. It's you can blame

793
00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:45,439
Speaker 2: coach Bud for not having his team go inside. Yeah,

794
00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:48,680
Speaker 2: he's did that in the first game, but he had

795
00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:50,520
Speaker 2: the option to do that in this game and he

796
00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:54,080
Speaker 2: chose not to. In that first quarter, Blake was standing

797
00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:59,920
Speaker 2: there quite vulnerable underneath the hoop and yidn't didn't chosen.

798
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:02,400
Speaker 2: Maybe that's the coach just not having them sort of

799
00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:06,279
Speaker 2: fired up for their game plan. But he's the superstar

800
00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:09,799
Speaker 2: coach Bud. I don't think he's on the floor. You

801
00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:14,040
Speaker 2: know that that coach Belly is not out there. It's Yannie,

802
00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:16,680
Speaker 2: it's Middleton, and it's holiday. They have to play like

803
00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:20,160
Speaker 2: superstars and to try and match the nets. Now, maybe

804
00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:22,440
Speaker 2: they tried to match them in a shooting competition, sure,

805
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:26,799
Speaker 2: but they just didn't do it very well. I mean,

806
00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:30,359
Speaker 2: they they shouldn't be in a shooting competition. Christ Kevin

807
00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:33,880
Speaker 2: Durant is the best offensive player in the last decade

808
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:36,360
Speaker 2: in this league, and he yeah, he's gonna get thirty.

809
00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:39,399
Speaker 2: Of course he is. Yeah, so Y has to has

810
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:42,879
Speaker 2: to do it his way and Middleton has to play better,

811
00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:45,120
Speaker 2: and they just they just have it. Uh, And I

812
00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:47,520
Speaker 2: don't know if they really truly believe they're a contender.

813
00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:50,200
Speaker 2: They beat the Miami Heat in that first game. It

814
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:52,839
Speaker 2: was a it was a coin flip of a game,

815
00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:55,399
Speaker 2: and they went up one to Oh. It was an ugly,

816
00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:57,920
Speaker 2: ugly game from the Heat, and then they got their confidence.

817
00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:00,520
Speaker 2: But they haven't got their confidence this series. And I

818
00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:02,520
Speaker 2: don't think it's coming back. I don't see why it

819
00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:04,360
Speaker 2: would come back because I don't sure that I'm not

820
00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:08,560
Speaker 2: sure they truly believe it. And Drew Holliday is, you know,

821
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:12,080
Speaker 2: one of everybody's favorite players. He's such a such a

822
00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:15,080
Speaker 2: great player, such a good defender. But now he's got

823
00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:18,640
Speaker 2: that MAX contract, then he kind of just he flies

824
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:22,879
Speaker 2: under the radar in terms of criticism. He wasn't a

825
00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:26,080
Speaker 2: great offensive player in this game, and he hasn't been

826
00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:28,840
Speaker 2: able to really find his game. One was better, but

827
00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:33,400
Speaker 2: he's getting paid like a superstar and the way the

828
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:36,719
Speaker 2: Bucks are constructed, where Yannis isn't necessarily going to have

829
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:39,440
Speaker 2: thirty five or forty every game because he can't shoot,

830
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:42,640
Speaker 2: because sometimes he doesn't dunk on everybody. Because the playoffs,

831
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:45,279
Speaker 2: teams build a wall against him. Drew's kind of got

832
00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:47,600
Speaker 2: to be better. And they gave him the ball in

833
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:50,480
Speaker 2: the first play to try and find his flow, and

834
00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:52,360
Speaker 2: they call to play for him, and he you know,

835
00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:54,880
Speaker 2: rimmed out, and then it was just kind of downhill

836
00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:57,920
Speaker 2: from there for the entire team. They maybe that's on

837
00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:01,080
Speaker 2: coach Bud for not bringing them all together. But if

838
00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:03,719
Speaker 2: I'm Yanis, you know, being here a year eight in

839
00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:07,960
Speaker 2: the league, it's just time to la leeth the SmackDown

840
00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:11,200
Speaker 2: as the rock does. He's got to he's got to

841
00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:14,200
Speaker 2: break it. You know. It's like blaming coach Bud for

842
00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:17,520
Speaker 2: nut for Yanna's nut dunking on Blake Griffin, who is

843
00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:21,600
Speaker 2: a billion inches short shorter than yannisis. It's a little

844
00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:23,680
Speaker 2: it's a little short seted. Yeah, it's had to dunk,

845
00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:24,160
Speaker 2: just do it.

846
00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:26,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, But Bud's got a Bud's gotta make it clear.

847
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:29,040
Speaker 4: We're running stuff here for We're running stuff for Yannis.

848
00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:31,120
Speaker 4: That's what you're doing, Yannis, You're getting the ball and

849
00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:33,600
Speaker 4: you're going inside. That's what you're doing. You're not settling

850
00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:36,479
Speaker 4: for these pissy little mid rangers. Early in the game,

851
00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:38,520
Speaker 4: if you're up twenty five, that's when you can have

852
00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:40,560
Speaker 4: one of those mid ranges. But early on you've got

853
00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:42,839
Speaker 4: to show the aggression, and that's got to come from

854
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:45,600
Speaker 4: Bud drawing up play after players saying it's all going

855
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:47,920
Speaker 4: through Yannis. That's where he's our leader, and we're all

856
00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:50,520
Speaker 4: going to flow off him. Then Middleton will get some shots.

857
00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:52,920
Speaker 4: Then p j and the Tucker pe Jane the Tucker

858
00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:56,359
Speaker 4: Corner can hit that, and then other guys get going.

859
00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:58,200
Speaker 4: But it starts with Yannis and if he's not being

860
00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:00,080
Speaker 4: aggressive and he's not going to the hoop, then the

861
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:01,440
Speaker 4: other guys are kind of looking around, going, well, I

862
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:03,440
Speaker 4: guess I have to score. And you saw Drew Holiday

863
00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:05,640
Speaker 4: hit web Banker. That was I think their first time goal,

864
00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:07,839
Speaker 4: and it was just that was kind of like a well,

865
00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:09,600
Speaker 4: there's nothing else happening out here, I might as well

866
00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:13,000
Speaker 4: shoot it. So and boonholes. It just didn't seem to

867
00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:15,080
Speaker 4: any point show any sort of like all right, we're

868
00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:17,279
Speaker 4: mixing things up with changing Is. It was like, all right,

869
00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:20,400
Speaker 4: we're getting completely smacked in this one. Yeah, there was

870
00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:21,920
Speaker 4: just an embarrassment for everybody.

871
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:22,200
Speaker 2: Yeah.

872
00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:24,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, Laura came home last night she said to me,

873
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:26,960
Speaker 3: how are the games? I call your dad and say

874
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:30,040
Speaker 3: he can't be a Bucks fan anymore because my friendly

875
00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:33,120
Speaker 3: Ellis is gonna ground them and he's not letting Yana

876
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:37,439
Speaker 3: shoot mid range jumpers until they're up twenty five, basically saying, hey,

877
00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:41,840
Speaker 3: no dessert until you finish your vegetables. Yes, but honestly,

878
00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:45,319
Speaker 3: it's vegetables. Yianness. The guy needs to be at the rim.

879
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:48,400
Speaker 3: Every single time we talked during the regular season, remember

880
00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:51,319
Speaker 3: the nets were laying off Yiannis like crazy. We're like,

881
00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:53,000
Speaker 3: are they gonna do this? Are they gonna do this?

882
00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:56,000
Speaker 3: Because he was just kind of like taking the runway

883
00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:58,359
Speaker 3: and getting into the rim and scoring and that's what

884
00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:00,239
Speaker 3: it's gotta be. But I mean, that's a hard thing

885
00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:03,799
Speaker 3: to do for four quarters every single game. But that's

886
00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:06,520
Speaker 3: why you're the MVP. That's why you're the man out there.

887
00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:09,600
Speaker 3: You got to live in the lane and then yeah, yeah,

888
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:11,600
Speaker 3: maybe once you're up twenty five you get to take

889
00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:15,880
Speaker 3: that delicious fifteen footer maybe then after you've seen a

890
00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:18,160
Speaker 3: couple of shots go in at the rim, maybe it's

891
00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:19,520
Speaker 3: a lot easier to make that shot.

892
00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:21,680
Speaker 4: You know what the Nets, I know, we said a lot.

893
00:39:21,719 --> 00:39:23,839
Speaker 4: They'll give yannas as many threes and as many mid

894
00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:26,520
Speaker 4: rangers as he wants. You can shoot twenty five of those.

895
00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:29,520
Speaker 4: We don't care because you're not punishing us inside and

896
00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:32,400
Speaker 4: Yannis right now is saying okay. It's almost like what

897
00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:34,239
Speaker 4: Westbrook has done in the past and the PLAYFF where

898
00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:36,359
Speaker 4: he gets caught up by saying, oh, you give me this, okay,

899
00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:38,560
Speaker 4: I'll just keep shooting it and it costs his team.

900
00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:41,680
Speaker 4: So yeah, they have a I mean, look again, it's

901
00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:44,240
Speaker 4: down it's two oh, and they both games in Brooklyn,

902
00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:46,120
Speaker 4: so it's not, you know, the end of the road

903
00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:47,759
Speaker 4: here for the Bucks. But my god, they have to

904
00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:50,560
Speaker 4: come out with some urgency and some aggression in game

905
00:39:50,600 --> 00:39:52,759
Speaker 4: three because James Harden I think, if you're the Net

906
00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:54,680
Speaker 4: right now, like, great, we get a few extra days

907
00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:56,960
Speaker 4: here to rest him. Yeah, you know, it's not like

908
00:39:57,000 --> 00:39:58,879
Speaker 4: we got to get him back. It's like make sure

909
00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:02,239
Speaker 4: that Hamshing is ready to go, because you know, there's

910
00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:03,840
Speaker 4: no need. We're not in trouble at the moment.

911
00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:06,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, Bucks did not do themselves any favors too by

912
00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:09,120
Speaker 1: turning the ball over constantly there in the first half.

913
00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:10,799
Speaker 1: It was a nine to three difference. I mean, you're

914
00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:13,280
Speaker 1: already playing a team that might have the greatest offense

915
00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:15,560
Speaker 1: of all time, even without hard and playing, and you're

916
00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:17,800
Speaker 1: giving them the ball and they scored. The Nets did

917
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:21,720
Speaker 1: fourteen to zero. That had the advantage in those points

918
00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:24,279
Speaker 1: off of the turnover, so that killed them too. And look,

919
00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:25,839
Speaker 1: I want to give some credit to the Nets here.

920
00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:28,920
Speaker 1: My god, is this team playing incredible without Harden like

921
00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:33,080
Speaker 1: Kadi and Kyrie. Yeah, like Iso monsters whenever they want.

922
00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:35,640
Speaker 1: But that thing is move and man like there's some

923
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:39,279
Speaker 1: action with Joe Harris and Kyrie that is like beautiful

924
00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:42,719
Speaker 1: going on, Katie finding guys. Everybody on the Nets hit

925
00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:44,800
Speaker 1: a three. It felt like last night, like every single

926
00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:46,840
Speaker 1: guy that played it felt like. I know that's not

927
00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:50,399
Speaker 1: exactly true, but I think nine Nets players ultimately hit one.

928
00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:52,840
Speaker 1: They went twenty one to forty two from three. That

929
00:40:52,920 --> 00:40:55,080
Speaker 1: was a franchise record for threes made in a playoff

930
00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:56,560
Speaker 1: game for the Brooklyn Nets too. And this is just

931
00:40:56,680 --> 00:40:58,799
Speaker 1: wild to me. Tasks I heard the athletic NBA shows

932
00:40:58,840 --> 00:41:02,560
Speaker 1: say this, think about the Nets role players, reserves, whatever

933
00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:04,800
Speaker 1: you want to call them. Right coming into the season

934
00:41:05,640 --> 00:41:08,279
Speaker 1: after Katie and Kyrie, You're like, okay, well, and then okay,

935
00:41:08,320 --> 00:41:10,040
Speaker 1: and then remove Joe Harris because he a starter. But

936
00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:12,680
Speaker 1: like it was, like, who are like their best reserve

937
00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:16,480
Speaker 1: players gonna be? Well, it's gonna be h Spencer, Dinwiddie, Okay, well,

938
00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:18,880
Speaker 1: he hasn't played at all, he's torn acl it was

939
00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:21,319
Speaker 1: gonna be Lavert and Jared Allen, they'd probably be next

940
00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:23,319
Speaker 1: in the pecking order. They get traded for Harden, who

941
00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:26,480
Speaker 1: has barely played in this series. Who else was it

942
00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:28,920
Speaker 1: gonna be? You know, well, they when they acquire a

943
00:41:28,920 --> 00:41:31,359
Speaker 1: fricking guy like Aldridge who doesn't ultimately end up playing

944
00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:33,520
Speaker 1: Blake's giving them great moments. It's just wild to think

945
00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:36,160
Speaker 1: who their reserve guys were gonna be, and then they

946
00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:40,120
Speaker 1: who they've become, like Mike James and Bruce Brown and

947
00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:43,080
Speaker 1: these guys, Like it's wild, Like I think, like my

948
00:41:43,160 --> 00:41:45,520
Speaker 1: point is, and I know two of those guys got

949
00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:47,120
Speaker 1: traded for Hard and you're gonna make that trade any

950
00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:48,880
Speaker 1: day of the week. But like all these guys we

951
00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:51,400
Speaker 1: thought might be the reserve players are not. It's a

952
00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:53,560
Speaker 1: bunch of other names who casual fans don't even know

953
00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:55,359
Speaker 1: who the fuck these guys are, like, well, the hell

954
00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:57,400
Speaker 1: is this guy Mike James, the guy that played for

955
00:41:57,400 --> 00:42:00,759
Speaker 1: the Raptors. No, it's completely different, Mike James's amazing to

956
00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:03,520
Speaker 1: me that Nash and his and his team, along with

957
00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:05,799
Speaker 1: the stars in Katie and Kyrie and Harden of course

958
00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:07,880
Speaker 1: when he was playing, have got all of these guys

959
00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:11,040
Speaker 1: buying into their role like your Claxton's and so on.

960
00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:14,239
Speaker 1: Everybody is playing the role perfectly on this team right now.

961
00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:16,000
Speaker 1: And you know, I'm looking like I'm gonna be one

962
00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:18,000
Speaker 1: hundred dollars later in my wallet in the second here,

963
00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:20,839
Speaker 1: Cuz bigwan. It's a I mean, they're they're they look

964
00:42:20,840 --> 00:42:24,080
Speaker 1: incredible because it's not just Kyrie and Kad like having

965
00:42:24,120 --> 00:42:26,759
Speaker 1: to carry them, you know, and which they can do

966
00:42:27,080 --> 00:42:29,560
Speaker 1: in games where maybe those guys are struggling to hit

967
00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:31,840
Speaker 1: their shots or not contributing. That's the crazy part to me.

968
00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:33,440
Speaker 1: It's like, oh, we have stars that could also get

969
00:42:33,520 --> 00:42:35,680
Speaker 1: us the victory if we just have to solely lean

970
00:42:35,719 --> 00:42:38,240
Speaker 1: on them. It's wild. You must be feeling l e.

971
00:42:38,239 --> 00:42:41,920
Speaker 3: Everybody loves everybody on this team. The two concerns coming

972
00:42:42,040 --> 00:42:45,040
Speaker 3: into the season were that the Nets didn't have enough depth,

973
00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:47,520
Speaker 3: and they wouldn't have enough basketballs and they wouldn't have

974
00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:51,239
Speaker 3: enough chemistry. No concerns with any of that right now.

975
00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:53,600
Speaker 3: Everybody on their lineup can play. You know, they finally

976
00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:56,800
Speaker 3: send in their garbage time lineup and it's Timothy l

977
00:42:56,880 --> 00:42:59,759
Speaker 3: Wabu camereaut and name Lee loved to say at the

978
00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:02,560
Speaker 3: big of the season, a guy who was playing rotation

979
00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:05,399
Speaker 3: minutes in the playoffs last year. It's an incredibly deep

980
00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:09,720
Speaker 3: team because Steve Nash and Mike D'Antoni, for the entirety

981
00:43:09,719 --> 00:43:12,640
Speaker 3: of their careers, have gotten great performances from role players

982
00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:15,359
Speaker 3: by just saying, hey, go play your game. Yeah, as

983
00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:16,920
Speaker 3: long as you play your game and play hard and

984
00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:18,960
Speaker 3: do what you're supposed to do, you're gonna keep getting minutes.

985
00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:20,400
Speaker 3: Who cares if you miss a shot as long as

986
00:43:20,440 --> 00:43:20,839
Speaker 3: it's open.

987
00:43:21,080 --> 00:43:24,080
Speaker 1: It's a good point. Can we can the Bucks just

988
00:43:24,160 --> 00:43:27,440
Speaker 1: fire Budenholzer right now and then get D'Antoni from the

989
00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:29,839
Speaker 1: Nets bench and have him coach to Milwaukee and maybe

990
00:43:29,840 --> 00:43:32,600
Speaker 1: we have a series here in game three and four,

991
00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:33,239
Speaker 1: why not.

992
00:43:33,440 --> 00:43:36,520
Speaker 4: Come on, Christy. Honestly, I wouldn't mind seeing D'Antoni on

993
00:43:36,520 --> 00:43:37,960
Speaker 4: the box, just to see what he can do with

994
00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:41,120
Speaker 4: that offense, because you know, that's what D'Antoni does. Everyone

995
00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:43,319
Speaker 4: seems to score twenty points a game and they just

996
00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:45,759
Speaker 4: need something right now. But there was that three that

997
00:43:45,840 --> 00:43:48,240
Speaker 4: Cai had last night, sort of a pull up in transition,

998
00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:51,040
Speaker 4: and he just banged it in. And it just that like,

999
00:43:51,400 --> 00:43:53,880
Speaker 4: at no point did the Nets seem to take their

1000
00:43:53,880 --> 00:43:55,560
Speaker 4: foot off the gas either in this game until it

1001
00:43:55,600 --> 00:43:58,160
Speaker 4: was obviously a complete blowout. But that was the other

1002
00:43:58,200 --> 00:44:00,960
Speaker 4: thing is they weren't like, like, hey, listen, let's just

1003
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:02,560
Speaker 4: even let's get give them a little bit. I hope

1004
00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:04,480
Speaker 4: he botonholes were great. He didn't have to play stars

1005
00:44:04,600 --> 00:44:06,560
Speaker 4: nine minutes to go in the fourth quarter. He yanked

1006
00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:08,480
Speaker 4: most of his starters so they got rest that it'll

1007
00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:10,640
Speaker 4: be nice and fresh for game three, which is what

1008
00:44:10,719 --> 00:44:14,239
Speaker 4: he loves. But that's what I like, I thought I

1009
00:44:14,280 --> 00:44:16,040
Speaker 4: thought from the Nets it was just like, we're just

1010
00:44:16,080 --> 00:44:18,160
Speaker 4: going to keep pounding you into you submit, and that's

1011
00:44:18,160 --> 00:44:20,799
Speaker 4: exactly what happened there. And I think it was Stephen A.

1012
00:44:20,840 --> 00:44:23,600
Speaker 4: Smith who on Twitter was saying, like to pull your

1013
00:44:23,640 --> 00:44:27,400
Speaker 4: starters game two nine minutes ago, that's that's humiliating for

1014
00:44:27,440 --> 00:44:30,319
Speaker 4: your team. And budenholes had a lot of questions. He

1015
00:44:30,360 --> 00:44:32,799
Speaker 4: answered a lot of those in the first round. But man,

1016
00:44:32,840 --> 00:44:35,320
Speaker 4: they are back now and he's got a very short

1017
00:44:35,320 --> 00:44:38,399
Speaker 4: time frame to answer those or else there's no way

1018
00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:41,000
Speaker 4: he survives if this team gets swept, Absolutely no way.

1019
00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:41,360
Speaker 2: Whatever.

1020
00:44:41,440 --> 00:44:43,720
Speaker 4: He probably doesn't survive even if they lose the series.

1021
00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:48,120
Speaker 4: So you know, I mean, look if they if they

1022
00:44:48,160 --> 00:44:50,600
Speaker 4: can stretch it to seven and lose, you know, with

1023
00:44:50,680 --> 00:44:52,759
Speaker 4: a bit of dignity, then perhaps he can. But they

1024
00:44:52,760 --> 00:44:56,000
Speaker 4: didn't have any dignity last night. They were just a

1025
00:44:56,040 --> 00:44:57,680
Speaker 4: complete embarrassment to themselves.

1026
00:44:57,880 --> 00:45:00,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, so Zach crom tweeted tasks the Nets are now

1027
00:45:00,800 --> 00:45:05,680
Speaker 1: up to fifty, forty four and ninety one shooting splits

1028
00:45:06,120 --> 00:45:11,680
Speaker 1: as a team this postseason, fifty from the field, forty

1029
00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:14,279
Speaker 1: four from three, and ninety one at the line as

1030
00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:17,120
Speaker 1: a team in the entire playoffs. I mean, I know

1031
00:45:17,160 --> 00:45:19,400
Speaker 1: they're only like, how many games have they played here? Seven?

1032
00:45:20,040 --> 00:45:25,200
Speaker 1: That's amazing, that's really incredible. It just proves how everybody

1033
00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:27,799
Speaker 1: is knocking down shots and getting it in the flow really.

1034
00:45:28,640 --> 00:45:32,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, no Jimmy Harden yet either, they would be even better. Yeah,

1035
00:45:32,920 --> 00:45:35,279
Speaker 2: they're starting Bruce Brown in his place, and he was

1036
00:45:35,320 --> 00:45:38,960
Speaker 2: six of ten yesterday. It's yeah, it's a testament to

1037
00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:42,800
Speaker 2: the coaching staff and especially the leaders and Kevin Durant

1038
00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:47,359
Speaker 2: and Kyrie Irving getting everybody involved and not forcing it.

1039
00:45:47,520 --> 00:45:50,640
Speaker 2: Durant and Kyrie Irving don't force anything on this team,

1040
00:45:51,040 --> 00:45:54,919
Speaker 2: and it's it's it wouldn't be questioned if they did,

1041
00:45:55,080 --> 00:45:57,520
Speaker 2: because it's their right to do so, because they're amazing

1042
00:45:57,800 --> 00:46:00,440
Speaker 2: and they and they could. But you're seeing a different

1043
00:46:00,480 --> 00:46:02,840
Speaker 2: Kyrie from last year than when he was kind of

1044
00:46:02,840 --> 00:46:05,160
Speaker 2: forcing it a little bit on the net squad without

1045
00:46:05,239 --> 00:46:09,600
Speaker 2: Kevin Durant. And yeah, top to bottom, Nash is a coach.

1046
00:46:10,040 --> 00:46:12,480
Speaker 2: He's a real coach of a real basketball team here.

1047
00:46:12,520 --> 00:46:15,760
Speaker 2: He's not just rolling out the ball. Everybody who they've

1048
00:46:16,080 --> 00:46:20,880
Speaker 2: picked up throughout the season, like and Alise Johnson, even

1049
00:46:20,920 --> 00:46:23,880
Speaker 2: Reggie Perry getting a few points yesterday. Then with the

1050
00:46:23,960 --> 00:46:26,960
Speaker 2: Mike James, like the point by Trey about you know,

1051
00:46:27,040 --> 00:46:30,920
Speaker 2: Mike D'Antoni really empowering his guys and Nash doing the

1052
00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:33,960
Speaker 2: same to just say, yeah, just just go shoot man,

1053
00:46:34,440 --> 00:46:37,080
Speaker 2: you know, go have a one on one little matchup

1054
00:46:37,080 --> 00:46:40,280
Speaker 2: because that's what your game is. Mike James, ale Ja Johnson,

1055
00:46:40,280 --> 00:46:42,160
Speaker 2: you're gonna chip in this way. Bruce Brown, You're not

1056
00:46:42,160 --> 00:46:44,000
Speaker 2: gonna take a shot in the mid range because you can't.

1057
00:46:44,160 --> 00:46:46,520
Speaker 2: But you can shoot threes and you can dunk. Everybody

1058
00:46:46,560 --> 00:46:49,839
Speaker 2: knows the role. And yeah, even guys who were part

1059
00:46:49,880 --> 00:46:53,400
Speaker 2: of the rotation last year like Timothy lewel Bocabro are

1060
00:46:53,440 --> 00:46:58,240
Speaker 2: not because they don't fit in right now because there's

1061
00:46:58,320 --> 00:47:00,560
Speaker 2: just so many freaking good players on this and Jeff

1062
00:47:00,600 --> 00:47:02,799
Speaker 2: Green is out who we thought would be kind of

1063
00:47:02,840 --> 00:47:06,439
Speaker 2: important to be able to guard Yannis. But best team

1064
00:47:06,480 --> 00:47:09,200
Speaker 2: of all time? Sure, why not best offense? It feels

1065
00:47:09,239 --> 00:47:11,000
Speaker 2: like the best offensive all offense.

1066
00:47:11,080 --> 00:47:12,919
Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, there's the case to be made there.

1067
00:47:13,440 --> 00:47:15,880
Speaker 4: Bruce Brown took ten shots last night, eight and the

1068
00:47:15,920 --> 00:47:19,000
Speaker 4: paint made five of them. Just pointing that out, that's all.

1069
00:47:20,160 --> 00:47:22,600
Speaker 1: So that's what you want from I'm just saying.

1070
00:47:22,640 --> 00:47:24,640
Speaker 4: I'm just saying, like, like, if he can get into

1071
00:47:24,680 --> 00:47:26,480
Speaker 4: the paint and take eight shots and make five of

1072
00:47:26,520 --> 00:47:29,759
Speaker 4: them in the first half, I think Jannis can do

1073
00:47:29,800 --> 00:47:30,000
Speaker 4: the same.

1074
00:47:30,080 --> 00:47:32,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's one thing to get beat by a guy

1075
00:47:32,840 --> 00:47:35,680
Speaker 1: named Kyrie, a guy that goes by the nickname the

1076
00:47:35,719 --> 00:47:38,480
Speaker 1: Slim Reaper. It's another thing to get beat by a

1077
00:47:38,520 --> 00:47:42,120
Speaker 1: guy named Mike, a guy named Bruce, a guy named

1078
00:47:42,200 --> 00:47:44,880
Speaker 1: Nick was kicking your ass.

1079
00:47:45,520 --> 00:47:45,719
Speaker 2: Court.

1080
00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:47,279
Speaker 1: That's going to sing a little bit.

1081
00:47:47,680 --> 00:47:49,879
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, what a softball league yet?

1082
00:47:49,960 --> 00:47:52,680
Speaker 4: I mean, I mean Mike James basically, they just they

1083
00:47:52,719 --> 00:47:54,279
Speaker 4: called him up from Europe and said, hey, you want

1084
00:47:54,280 --> 00:47:55,759
Speaker 4: to come and play for us, and he's like, yeah, right,

1085
00:47:55,760 --> 00:47:57,600
Speaker 4: why not? He's out there giving him a good minutes.

1086
00:47:57,640 --> 00:47:59,560
Speaker 4: Hesn't pick up for him?

1087
00:47:59,680 --> 00:48:02,200
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, in the entire history of the NBA Playoffs,

1088
00:48:02,280 --> 00:48:05,440
Speaker 1: four hundred and thirty teams have found themselves trailing two

1089
00:48:05,480 --> 00:48:08,040
Speaker 1: zero in a series. Twenty eight of those teams have

1090
00:48:08,120 --> 00:48:11,600
Speaker 1: managed to make a comeback. Lee, you do not sound

1091
00:48:11,680 --> 00:48:14,480
Speaker 1: high on the bucks chances of figuring this out in

1092
00:48:14,560 --> 00:48:16,960
Speaker 1: Game three, let alone you know the rest of the series.

1093
00:48:16,960 --> 00:48:17,919
Speaker 2: It sounds like, I.

1094
00:48:17,840 --> 00:48:20,560
Speaker 4: Hope I'm wrong, but they just didn't even compete last night.

1095
00:48:20,560 --> 00:48:22,879
Speaker 4: That's the real problem for me. It's like where Chris

1096
00:48:22,920 --> 00:48:24,880
Speaker 4: Middleton's had two shocking games.

1097
00:48:25,040 --> 00:48:27,400
Speaker 1: Really, I am never voting Chris Middleton to an All

1098
00:48:27,440 --> 00:48:29,719
Speaker 1: Star Game again. I'm not gonna be fooled. I don't

1099
00:48:29,760 --> 00:48:31,799
Speaker 1: care what he does in the regular season. I told

1100
00:48:31,880 --> 00:48:33,480
Speaker 1: you he was the most important player in this series.

1101
00:48:33,520 --> 00:48:36,680
Speaker 1: I took you through his like past shitty playoff performances

1102
00:48:36,719 --> 00:48:39,040
Speaker 1: in especially series where they lost, and the number of

1103
00:48:39,040 --> 00:48:41,960
Speaker 1: times he just never shows up. I'm done. I'm done

1104
00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:43,840
Speaker 1: with him. I know he's good. He's a great regular

1105
00:48:43,840 --> 00:48:46,399
Speaker 1: season player. He's not that great in the playoffs. I mean,

1106
00:48:46,560 --> 00:48:48,359
Speaker 1: I here as a Raptors fan timetime and oh look

1107
00:48:48,400 --> 00:48:51,560
Speaker 1: what Pascal z the oakoamsid where's Pascal? Where's him? I mean, Jesus,

1108
00:48:51,960 --> 00:48:55,120
Speaker 1: he gets buried. I know Raptors fans are crazy. Where

1109
00:48:55,200 --> 00:48:57,280
Speaker 1: is like, do Bucks fans do this for Chris Middleton?

1110
00:48:58,120 --> 00:49:00,000
Speaker 1: Where the we did nothing? I know he ended up

1111
00:49:00,120 --> 00:49:02,399
Speaker 1: getting some points. His box score looks okay. At the end,

1112
00:49:02,520 --> 00:49:04,520
Speaker 1: he was all for eight to start this game. You

1113
00:49:04,560 --> 00:49:07,640
Speaker 1: said it, Lee, he was panicking like with shots. I've

1114
00:49:07,640 --> 00:49:10,759
Speaker 1: never even seen Middleton try and tea and then on

1115
00:49:10,880 --> 00:49:12,520
Speaker 1: hit and then he was turning the ball over to

1116
00:49:12,680 --> 00:49:13,200
Speaker 1: He was.

1117
00:49:13,280 --> 00:49:16,279
Speaker 4: Shock because I don't think it's like, wow, Durance just

1118
00:49:16,320 --> 00:49:19,120
Speaker 4: shut him down. It's like you're just taking these silly

1119
00:49:19,200 --> 00:49:22,839
Speaker 4: shots and not making them. And then yeah, losing the ball,

1120
00:49:23,200 --> 00:49:24,600
Speaker 4: and they need him to be out there and be

1121
00:49:24,640 --> 00:49:26,480
Speaker 4: aggressive the same thing. He didn't even get to the

1122
00:49:26,520 --> 00:49:30,760
Speaker 4: free throw line once last night. Like, come on, man, anyway,

1123
00:49:31,520 --> 00:49:34,600
Speaker 4: come on man, listen, listen. I've seen a couple of times.

1124
00:49:34,600 --> 00:49:36,239
Speaker 4: I didn't think the Raptors were going to come back

1125
00:49:36,239 --> 00:49:38,799
Speaker 4: against the Bucks. Ironically, a couple of years ago, I

1126
00:49:38,920 --> 00:49:41,320
Speaker 4: thought when the Caves, of course came back from the

1127
00:49:41,360 --> 00:49:44,080
Speaker 4: Warriors down three to one. They lost those first two games.

1128
00:49:44,200 --> 00:49:48,040
Speaker 4: They lost Game two by thirty, and they looked completely embarrassed.

1129
00:49:48,040 --> 00:49:51,279
Speaker 4: Now Drayman got suspended, Burget injured. Things happened, but so

1130
00:49:51,320 --> 00:49:51,919
Speaker 4: it can happen.

1131
00:49:52,200 --> 00:49:54,440
Speaker 1: The Lakers were going to obviously exactly.

1132
00:49:56,920 --> 00:49:57,720
Speaker 3: Against the Mavericks.

1133
00:49:57,800 --> 00:50:00,520
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, yes, true, So it can happen. Things can

1134
00:50:00,560 --> 00:50:04,480
Speaker 4: turn around. But again it's just it's like, okay, you

1135
00:50:04,600 --> 00:50:07,080
Speaker 4: have to change drastically from game two to Game three.

1136
00:50:07,120 --> 00:50:09,319
Speaker 4: So they're capable at home. They won two games and

1137
00:50:09,400 --> 00:50:11,480
Speaker 4: no James Harden towards the end of the season, so

1138
00:50:11,520 --> 00:50:15,439
Speaker 4: they can do it. But was not answering those games. Yeah,

1139
00:50:15,440 --> 00:50:17,560
Speaker 4: and listen, I picked the Nets to win this series,

1140
00:50:17,560 --> 00:50:19,600
Speaker 4: you know, So I was just really pissed off that

1141
00:50:19,640 --> 00:50:22,359
Speaker 4: they just didn't compete from the start in this game

1142
00:50:22,440 --> 00:50:24,960
Speaker 4: last night. You know, the Nuggets last night kind of

1143
00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:26,920
Speaker 4: just got overrun. A bit of an avalanche happened, but

1144
00:50:26,960 --> 00:50:29,520
Speaker 4: they fought, they battled as a good game. The Bucks

1145
00:50:29,560 --> 00:50:30,680
Speaker 4: didn't compete last night.

1146
00:50:32,120 --> 00:50:35,319
Speaker 1: Anything to add gentlemen to this game to blowout or

1147
00:50:35,360 --> 00:50:38,399
Speaker 1: this series moving forward? Tasks, have you already figured out

1148
00:50:39,040 --> 00:50:41,080
Speaker 1: how you're going to spend your hundred dollars that going

1149
00:50:41,160 --> 00:50:42,920
Speaker 1: to be paying you? And just somebody knows the bet

1150
00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:45,840
Speaker 1: is not this series. I mean Task needs his nets

1151
00:50:45,840 --> 00:50:47,560
Speaker 1: to then beat you know, either the six ers of

1152
00:50:47,560 --> 00:50:49,960
Speaker 1: the Hawks to win the trade young conference Young might

1153
00:50:50,040 --> 00:50:55,799
Speaker 1: say Bucks last, But anyway, have you already figured out

1154
00:50:55,840 --> 00:50:56,759
Speaker 1: what you're gonna do with that money?

1155
00:50:56,760 --> 00:50:56,960
Speaker 3: Tass?

1156
00:50:57,000 --> 00:50:57,640
Speaker 1: I'm just curious.

1157
00:50:58,800 --> 00:51:02,080
Speaker 2: No, I don't count my dollars before they're hatched. I

1158
00:51:02,120 --> 00:51:05,440
Speaker 2: can't wait. I can't wait spend that in one go?

1159
00:51:06,600 --> 00:51:09,680
Speaker 2: What can I buy an NBA top shot? A half

1160
00:51:09,760 --> 00:51:12,880
Speaker 2: of a moment, A half of a bit, a half

1161
00:51:12,920 --> 00:51:17,680
Speaker 2: of a half of a mo. Yeah, I get a

1162
00:51:17,680 --> 00:51:20,480
Speaker 2: mo I guess we're we're gonna get you.

1163
00:51:20,480 --> 00:51:22,440
Speaker 3: You get ten sigmons probably.

1164
00:51:22,120 --> 00:51:24,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Wedgie moment that is wow. Top shot?

1165
00:51:24,640 --> 00:51:26,760
Speaker 2: Wow, wow. Wow, Wow.

1166
00:51:26,840 --> 00:51:30,360
Speaker 1: Okay, let's uh, let's get to the Coach of the

1167
00:51:30,440 --> 00:51:33,400
Speaker 1: Year news and we'll look ahead to tonight's game. But

1168
00:51:33,680 --> 00:51:35,600
Speaker 1: got to take one final break to here from some

1169
00:51:35,640 --> 00:51:37,080
Speaker 1: more sponsors.

1170
00:51:38,440 --> 00:51:40,120
Speaker 2: We hold on, what do you mean we're not going

1171
00:51:40,200 --> 00:51:42,160
Speaker 2: to be able to try it? I thought the homework

1172
00:51:42,200 --> 00:51:44,839
Speaker 2: assignment was you give us the recipe and we all

1173
00:51:44,880 --> 00:51:46,759
Speaker 2: do it.

1174
00:51:46,560 --> 00:51:48,879
Speaker 1: Make it a lot of class, a masterclass.

1175
00:51:49,080 --> 00:51:50,760
Speaker 4: I thought it was going to be me just making

1176
00:51:50,760 --> 00:51:52,719
Speaker 4: it there in front of everyone, and then I'll sip

1177
00:51:52,719 --> 00:51:54,359
Speaker 4: at and you know, and then then I can pass

1178
00:51:54,400 --> 00:51:56,000
Speaker 4: it on and say, Okay, this is the recipe. You

1179
00:51:56,040 --> 00:51:56,840
Speaker 4: can try it.

1180
00:51:56,920 --> 00:51:59,640
Speaker 1: So, yeah, you do need to do a trial run

1181
00:51:59,719 --> 00:52:00,759
Speaker 1: on it, right, that's right?

1182
00:52:00,840 --> 00:52:03,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, exactly, all right, So.

1183
00:52:03,360 --> 00:52:06,480
Speaker 1: We'll just have to trust you whether or not. Yeah,

1184
00:52:07,080 --> 00:52:09,839
Speaker 1: we're going to be judging the appearance of it. How

1185
00:52:09,840 --> 00:52:11,520
Speaker 1: long it takes you to make it, because that usually

1186
00:52:11,560 --> 00:52:14,879
Speaker 1: takes a couple hours. Try and do it under fifteen minutes.

1187
00:52:16,960 --> 00:52:18,680
Speaker 4: Ah, well, you want to have some fun, be I'm

1199
00:52:45,480 --> 00:52:47,880
Speaker 1: And we got Jim Beebe coming on to help us

1200
00:52:47,880 --> 00:52:51,120
Speaker 1: out with that. Love it perfect synergy there, Jim Bean

1201
00:52:51,120 --> 00:52:53,440
Speaker 1: for an NBA happy hour, A little watch party with

1202
00:52:53,480 --> 00:52:54,400
Speaker 1: no dunks. Sounds good?

1203
00:52:54,400 --> 00:52:54,680
Speaker 3: All right?

1204
00:52:54,840 --> 00:52:57,080
Speaker 1: Some news before we go, guys. For the second time

1205
00:52:57,120 --> 00:52:59,400
Speaker 1: in his career, Tom Thibodeau has been named the NBA's

1206
00:52:59,440 --> 00:53:01,719
Speaker 1: Coach of the the next coach who led the team

1207
00:53:01,760 --> 00:53:04,479
Speaker 1: to a twenty win improvement this season. He just edged

1208
00:53:04,480 --> 00:53:07,320
Speaker 1: out Suns coach Money Williams by a total of eleven points,

1209
00:53:07,719 --> 00:53:11,800
Speaker 1: while Jazz coach Quinn Snyder finished third and well TK

1210
00:53:11,920 --> 00:53:13,840
Speaker 1: will know this. TIBs also won the award in his

1211
00:53:13,920 --> 00:53:18,080
Speaker 1: first year with the Bulls back in two thousand and eleven. So, Lee,

1212
00:53:18,160 --> 00:53:19,880
Speaker 1: were you surprised at all by this? I'm going to

1213
00:53:19,960 --> 00:53:23,399
Speaker 1: share on the stream team here the coaching breakdown because

1214
00:53:23,440 --> 00:53:25,680
Speaker 1: it's interesting because Money Williams actually a more first place

1215
00:53:25,719 --> 00:53:28,279
Speaker 1: for US, yes than TIBs, but total points, it goes

1216
00:53:28,320 --> 00:53:30,520
Speaker 1: to Sibbdo They're in a very tight race. But were

1217
00:53:30,520 --> 00:53:31,160
Speaker 1: you shocked at all?

1218
00:53:31,600 --> 00:53:33,160
Speaker 4: Not shocked? I mean, I think it was going to

1219
00:53:33,200 --> 00:53:35,320
Speaker 4: come down to one of those two guys. I personally

1220
00:53:35,400 --> 00:53:37,759
Speaker 4: chose Monty, but I'm not angry that Tibbs won it.

1221
00:53:37,840 --> 00:53:39,719
Speaker 4: I thought he did a fantastic job there in New York.

1222
00:53:39,760 --> 00:53:42,680
Speaker 4: He really got them playing good, strong, solid basketball at

1223
00:53:42,680 --> 00:53:45,440
Speaker 4: both ends of the floor. Obviously disappointed that the season

1224
00:53:45,640 --> 00:53:47,480
Speaker 4: sort of flamed out for them in the playoffs there,

1225
00:53:47,480 --> 00:53:51,040
Speaker 4: but a very very deserving candidate. And I think this

1226
00:53:51,160 --> 00:53:53,440
Speaker 4: also just the closeness of the voting between those two

1227
00:53:53,800 --> 00:53:56,040
Speaker 4: shows just how they both had really strong cases and

1228
00:53:56,080 --> 00:53:57,799
Speaker 4: a case it came down with the voters just like,

1229
00:53:57,880 --> 00:53:59,920
Speaker 4: what did you value more the improvement of the Knicks

1230
00:54:00,160 --> 00:54:03,440
Speaker 4: being pretty much a disaster to a home court advantage

1231
00:54:03,440 --> 00:54:05,480
Speaker 4: in the first round, or did you sort of see

1232
00:54:05,520 --> 00:54:07,120
Speaker 4: like the Suns and think, well, they kind of were

1233
00:54:07,120 --> 00:54:09,920
Speaker 4: expected to make the playoffs. But I don't think many

1234
00:54:09,960 --> 00:54:12,440
Speaker 4: people had the Suns finishing second in the Western Conference

1235
00:54:12,480 --> 00:54:15,200
Speaker 4: so that's why I chose Monty Williams. But you know,

1236
00:54:15,280 --> 00:54:18,120
Speaker 4: Thibbs did an incredible job there in New York and

1237
00:54:18,600 --> 00:54:20,000
Speaker 4: Nicks have got to be happy because I thought it

1238
00:54:20,000 --> 00:54:21,600
Speaker 4: was a bit of a risky choice bringing in an

1239
00:54:21,600 --> 00:54:24,680
Speaker 4: old guy who's kind of stubborn and stuck in his ways.

1240
00:54:24,680 --> 00:54:27,239
Speaker 4: But he showed a little bit of flexibility this year

1241
00:54:27,280 --> 00:54:28,719
Speaker 4: and got a lot out of his players. Of course,

1242
00:54:28,800 --> 00:54:30,719
Speaker 4: Julius Randall has already been named six Man of the

1243
00:54:30,800 --> 00:54:33,200
Speaker 4: Year and Derek Rose had a very strong finish to

1244
00:54:33,280 --> 00:54:36,400
Speaker 4: the season. So lots of positives out of there to

1245
00:54:36,440 --> 00:54:38,240
Speaker 4: take out of this season from the Knicks, and Thibb's

1246
00:54:38,280 --> 00:54:40,839
Speaker 4: winning Coach of the Year is one of them. Now

1247
00:54:40,920 --> 00:54:42,959
Speaker 4: the challenge will be how does he improve this team

1248
00:54:43,000 --> 00:54:46,240
Speaker 4: next season? Going forward? I think there'll be some personnel changes,

1249
00:54:46,280 --> 00:54:48,480
Speaker 4: but you know, I think Thibbs has shown that he

1250
00:54:48,560 --> 00:54:50,080
Speaker 4: still can coach in this league.

1251
00:54:50,360 --> 00:54:52,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, what do you think, tas was this East Coast

1252
00:54:52,600 --> 00:54:55,560
Speaker 1: media bias going here? With TIBs getting more votes than

1253
00:54:55,800 --> 00:54:58,080
Speaker 1: Monty Williams or maybe even Quinn Snyder with what they

1254
00:54:58,120 --> 00:54:58,680
Speaker 1: did out West?

1255
00:54:59,160 --> 00:55:02,480
Speaker 2: How dare you Jims deserved it? Don't you think?

1256
00:55:03,280 --> 00:55:05,080
Speaker 1: I mean, look, we thought it was gonna be one

1257
00:55:05,120 --> 00:55:06,640
Speaker 1: of those three guys. So I don't know how you

1258
00:55:06,640 --> 00:55:09,040
Speaker 1: could be all that upset, but I do think there

1259
00:55:09,160 --> 00:55:12,640
Speaker 1: might be some some East Coast media bias where you're

1260
00:55:12,680 --> 00:55:15,719
Speaker 1: watching Knicks games more, You're you're seeing the team more

1261
00:55:15,760 --> 00:55:17,239
Speaker 1: if you're on the East Coast. I mean, I don't

1262
00:55:17,239 --> 00:55:19,439
Speaker 1: know the breakdown of all the voters like where they are,

1263
00:55:19,480 --> 00:55:21,719
Speaker 1: but Mike gut says, maybe there's more on the East Coast.

1264
00:55:21,680 --> 00:55:23,279
Speaker 3: A bunch of Lee Ellis is going to bad Earl.

1265
00:55:23,840 --> 00:55:26,360
Speaker 1: I think maybe maybe a small part and maybe with

1266
00:55:26,360 --> 00:55:28,560
Speaker 1: the Monti Williams thing too, is like I think a

1267
00:55:28,600 --> 00:55:31,279
Speaker 1: ton of credit and probably rightfully so goes to Chris

1268
00:55:31,320 --> 00:55:34,600
Speaker 1: Paul and they're like, well, Chris Paul is also sort

1269
00:55:34,640 --> 00:55:37,280
Speaker 1: of a coach on the floor. But yeah, I'm not upset.

1270
00:55:37,320 --> 00:55:38,319
Speaker 1: I assume you're not either.

1271
00:55:38,560 --> 00:55:43,799
Speaker 2: I think the biggest gap between expectations and performance was

1272
00:55:43,840 --> 00:55:46,480
Speaker 2: the Knicks. I think most people, if you look at

1273
00:55:46,480 --> 00:55:49,040
Speaker 2: that roster of the Phoenix Suns, even in the Western Conference,

1274
00:55:50,239 --> 00:55:52,319
Speaker 2: was that they should make the playoffs. And yeah, two

1275
00:55:52,480 --> 00:55:56,040
Speaker 2: is way higher than people thought, for sure, but yeah,

1276
00:55:56,120 --> 00:56:01,040
Speaker 2: the Knicks going from low lottery to fifth seed, that's

1277
00:56:01,320 --> 00:56:04,720
Speaker 2: I think that that's usually who gets the team. Oh yeah,

1278
00:56:04,800 --> 00:56:07,920
Speaker 2: well whatever, that's a really stupid rule as well. The

1279
00:56:08,320 --> 00:56:11,000
Speaker 2: Hawks win the division, why aren't they the fourth seed

1280
00:56:11,040 --> 00:56:12,920
Speaker 2: if they have the exact same record as the New

1281
00:56:13,000 --> 00:56:16,360
Speaker 2: York Knicks tybreak has dumb anyway, the exact same record.

1282
00:56:16,440 --> 00:56:18,719
Speaker 2: That's it's the biggest jomp I think, And that's why

1283
00:56:18,800 --> 00:56:21,960
Speaker 2: Coach of the Year is always given to that person.

1284
00:56:22,120 --> 00:56:25,160
Speaker 2: It's always given to the person most likely. You know

1285
00:56:25,160 --> 00:56:29,080
Speaker 2: in most situations that that's the gap between expectations and performance.

1286
00:56:29,120 --> 00:56:31,359
Speaker 2: So that's understandable. I mean, I was a Monty guy

1287
00:56:31,400 --> 00:56:33,359
Speaker 2: for a long time, but Tips probably got more out

1288
00:56:33,360 --> 00:56:38,240
Speaker 2: of his personnel than than you know, extracted the absolute most,

1289
00:56:38,280 --> 00:56:41,040
Speaker 2: every single drip out of his personnel then than Monty did.

1290
00:56:41,440 --> 00:56:43,600
Speaker 3: What do you think, Trey, I think this was the

1291
00:56:43,640 --> 00:56:47,399
Speaker 3: perfect vote because TIBs won for this season. Like everybody's saying,

1292
00:56:47,400 --> 00:56:49,680
Speaker 3: the Knicks came back with basically the same roster they

1293
00:56:49,760 --> 00:56:53,520
Speaker 3: had last year. The main change was bringing in Tims

1294
00:56:53,560 --> 00:56:56,719
Speaker 3: and immediately having an identity that worked out and that

1295
00:56:56,800 --> 00:56:58,880
Speaker 3: the team was committed to for the entire year. But

1296
00:56:58,920 --> 00:57:01,480
Speaker 3: also Monty Williams did kind of win this as well.

1297
00:57:01,880 --> 00:57:04,640
Speaker 3: Getting the most first place votes, and I think he

1298
00:57:04,680 --> 00:57:06,359
Speaker 3: may have even showed up on the most ballots. It's

1299
00:57:06,400 --> 00:57:08,560
Speaker 3: just the breakdown of it worked out differently, and I

1300
00:57:08,600 --> 00:57:11,200
Speaker 3: think that's fair because Monty Williams has probably been the

1301
00:57:11,200 --> 00:57:14,160
Speaker 3: coach of the Year, but only if you include the

1302
00:57:14,200 --> 00:57:16,200
Speaker 3: past two seasons. You give a little credit for what

1303
00:57:16,280 --> 00:57:19,320
Speaker 3: happened in the bubble last year and taking that momentum

1304
00:57:19,320 --> 00:57:22,160
Speaker 3: for that eight to zero, adding Chris Paul and continuing

1305
00:57:22,200 --> 00:57:24,040
Speaker 3: it on this year to have an incredible season to

1306
00:57:24,400 --> 00:57:26,680
Speaker 3: build up a team that also has an identity, But

1307
00:57:27,120 --> 00:57:28,959
Speaker 3: he's not going to get quite as much credit because

1308
00:57:28,960 --> 00:57:31,000
Speaker 3: we saw that Suns do pretty well in the bubble

1309
00:57:31,080 --> 00:57:34,040
Speaker 3: last year, and obviously they added Chris Paul, who kind

1310
00:57:34,040 --> 00:57:35,920
Speaker 3: of gets Coach of the Year votes as well, So

1311
00:57:36,160 --> 00:57:38,560
Speaker 3: it's almost like there are two winners here. But for me,

1312
00:57:38,800 --> 00:57:41,800
Speaker 3: ultimately I probably would have voted Tibbs as well, just

1313
00:57:41,840 --> 00:57:46,400
Speaker 3: because the expectations were so low for the Knicks this year.

1314
00:57:46,560 --> 00:57:49,560
Speaker 3: For them to actually host playoff games pretty impressive.

1315
00:57:49,640 --> 00:57:52,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Sun's expectations, I feel like it ran the

1316
00:57:52,040 --> 00:57:53,760
Speaker 1: gamut right. I think there were some people that were

1317
00:57:53,840 --> 00:57:56,320
Speaker 1: very high on the Suns coming into the season, like, hey,

1318
00:57:56,360 --> 00:57:59,400
Speaker 1: maybe they will be like challenging for a top four seed.

1319
00:57:59,440 --> 00:58:01,280
Speaker 1: I don't think people had them at second don't get

1320
00:58:01,320 --> 00:58:03,560
Speaker 1: me wrong, but I think there were people like saying, yeah,

1321
00:58:03,600 --> 00:58:05,600
Speaker 1: fourth or fifth maybe in the West is doable. I

1322
00:58:05,600 --> 00:58:07,440
Speaker 1: think a lot more people said they'll be in the

1323
00:58:07,440 --> 00:58:11,160
Speaker 1: play in race Ley. There definitely probably were people still saying, no,

1324
00:58:11,960 --> 00:58:14,080
Speaker 1: don't buy into what happened in the bubble. They won't

1325
00:58:14,120 --> 00:58:15,880
Speaker 1: be a playoff team. You know, there's still a couple

1326
00:58:15,920 --> 00:58:17,880
Speaker 1: of years away. So like that, it was all over

1327
00:58:17,880 --> 00:58:20,080
Speaker 1: the map where most people, because it's the Knicks and

1328
00:58:20,120 --> 00:58:24,240
Speaker 1: twenty years of like futility, people are like, eah, maybe

1329
00:58:24,240 --> 00:58:26,600
Speaker 1: they'll be in a play and race probably not though,

1330
00:58:26,600 --> 00:58:28,280
Speaker 1: And then here they were having a at least home

1331
00:58:28,280 --> 00:58:30,360
Speaker 1: court advantage there in the first round, and like Trey said,

1332
00:58:30,400 --> 00:58:32,720
Speaker 1: having an identity and winning just a ton more games

1333
00:58:32,720 --> 00:58:35,080
Speaker 1: than they did last year, which of course is impressive

1334
00:58:35,080 --> 00:58:37,320
Speaker 1: and Tims deserves a lot of credit. So that was

1335
00:58:37,360 --> 00:58:40,080
Speaker 1: pretty amazing. They got two of the awards here, though,

1336
00:58:40,080 --> 00:58:42,120
Speaker 1: what awards do we have left, by the way, MVP,

1337
00:58:42,480 --> 00:58:45,040
Speaker 1: which we know we're just waiting on giving it to Jokic,

1338
00:58:45,200 --> 00:58:48,320
Speaker 1: and Defensive Player of the Year that's right. That's right.

1339
00:58:48,400 --> 00:58:50,360
Speaker 1: So it'll be interesting to see if Gobert wins that again,

1340
00:58:50,960 --> 00:58:53,520
Speaker 1: Simmons sneak it out. We will see. I'm sure we'll

1341
00:58:53,520 --> 00:58:55,640
Speaker 1: find out, probably, I don't know, by the end of

1342
00:58:55,640 --> 00:58:58,400
Speaker 1: the week or if not, early next week. Let's get

1343
00:58:58,440 --> 00:58:59,360
Speaker 1: to tweet of the night.

1344
00:59:01,840 --> 00:59:06,680
Speaker 2: Tweet of the night. Wow, she dizzle.

1345
00:59:06,880 --> 00:59:07,800
Speaker 1: Tweet the night.

1346
00:59:07,640 --> 00:59:12,040
Speaker 5: Man, Yeah, tweet the night. Thank you, thank you. I uh.

1347
00:59:12,520 --> 00:59:15,120
Speaker 5: It's actually an instagram of the night, and it's actually

1348
00:59:15,200 --> 00:59:21,840
Speaker 5: from a couple of days ago. But it it's really simple. Actually,

1349
00:59:21,880 --> 00:59:25,960
Speaker 5: it's from none other than Tim Burton. Yes, the Tim Burton,

1350
00:59:26,040 --> 00:59:29,840
Speaker 5: not the other guy who's the film director. This is

1351
00:59:29,880 --> 00:59:33,240
Speaker 5: Tim Burton, my friend Tim Burton. Okay, and this is

1352
00:59:33,280 --> 00:59:36,240
Speaker 5: a picture. It's just a picture for the audience at home.

1353
00:59:36,440 --> 00:59:40,800
Speaker 5: He's just relaxing and enjoying his cottage. Look at the view.

1354
00:59:40,960 --> 00:59:41,680
Speaker 3: Look at the view.

1355
00:59:41,680 --> 00:59:44,520
Speaker 5: And yes, his foot is in frame. Now listen on

1356
00:59:44,560 --> 00:59:49,160
Speaker 5: this show. For literally years, I've been hearing about old

1357
00:59:49,280 --> 00:59:54,040
Speaker 5: eight toes. Here's a picture of his foot. He's actually

1358
00:59:54,080 --> 00:59:57,360
Speaker 5: got five toes, but they're fused together. Well, I'm going

1359
00:59:57,400 --> 01:00:03,200
Speaker 5: to I'm going to enhance. Go back to Tim Burton's photo.

1360
01:00:03,920 --> 01:00:07,320
Speaker 5: Have a look at this. Have a look at this.

1361
01:00:07,920 --> 01:00:10,240
Speaker 2: Nice of him to bring a six back to the cottage.

1362
01:00:10,600 --> 01:00:13,600
Speaker 5: That's right, he has six toes on both feet.

1363
01:00:14,360 --> 01:00:14,880
Speaker 3: This is.

1364
01:00:17,000 --> 01:00:18,960
Speaker 2: Not old new twelve toes.

1365
01:00:19,040 --> 01:00:20,120
Speaker 1: New twelve toes.

1366
01:00:20,600 --> 01:00:20,920
Speaker 3: Wow?

1367
01:00:21,320 --> 01:00:23,640
Speaker 1: And where am I going with this? I don't know.

1368
01:00:23,720 --> 01:00:27,840
Speaker 5: It's a it's a weird pissing contest. My friend has

1369
01:00:28,600 --> 01:00:33,200
Speaker 5: twelve toes, well, Lee, your friends only has eight toes.

1370
01:00:33,240 --> 01:00:36,080
Speaker 4: So well they combined for a complete set.

1371
01:00:37,880 --> 01:00:41,200
Speaker 2: A couple of users there. JD looks like, yeah.

1372
01:00:41,040 --> 01:00:42,440
Speaker 5: I think so, I think so.

1373
01:00:43,080 --> 01:00:45,120
Speaker 4: Wow, Yeah that's amazy.

1374
01:00:45,240 --> 01:00:48,680
Speaker 1: Oh my god, his feet are like insanely wide because

1375
01:00:49,000 --> 01:00:51,560
Speaker 1: extra toe in the mix tasks like could you imagine

1376
01:00:51,560 --> 01:01:00,400
Speaker 1: trying to get this guy's shoes at as.

1377
01:00:57,320 --> 01:01:01,000
Speaker 3: I always new balance extra wide for sure?

1378
01:01:01,280 --> 01:01:04,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, you get him in those double e's or quaddies.

1379
01:01:05,000 --> 01:01:08,440
Speaker 2: Mattie Austin Matty Austin is looking at those thinking, wow,

1380
01:01:08,960 --> 01:01:12,680
Speaker 2: those are sweet feet. Matty Austin, What is he? What?

1381
01:01:12,680 --> 01:01:14,800
Speaker 2: What chunkers? Was he wearing? Those azors?

1382
01:01:14,840 --> 01:01:17,800
Speaker 3: What were those Alta Mabel?

1383
01:01:18,200 --> 01:01:19,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, bricks.

1384
01:01:21,000 --> 01:01:23,640
Speaker 3: Was his His toe box on those shoes was like

1385
01:01:23,680 --> 01:01:27,800
Speaker 3: that toebox that we just saw it from New twelve toes.

1386
01:01:27,920 --> 01:01:30,720
Speaker 4: Ironically, I think Tim Burton would be a good character

1387
01:01:30,760 --> 01:01:34,439
Speaker 4: for a Tim Burton movie with those yeah twelve toes

1388
01:01:35,680 --> 01:01:36,480
Speaker 4: something in for him.

1389
01:01:38,080 --> 01:01:41,960
Speaker 1: Fascinating tweet of the night. Yeah, rode out of the aircrafts.

1390
01:01:42,000 --> 01:01:44,280
Speaker 1: But that's great, that's great. Shout up to Tim Burton.

1391
01:01:44,600 --> 01:01:47,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know he's not listening, definitely not.

1392
01:01:47,760 --> 01:01:50,240
Speaker 5: But you know, maybe I'll send him this and maybe,

1393
01:01:50,680 --> 01:01:52,200
Speaker 5: you know, he might enjoy it.

1394
01:01:52,280 --> 01:01:53,200
Speaker 2: He might not. I don't know.

1395
01:01:55,280 --> 01:01:57,320
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, does he have a personal or

1396
01:01:57,360 --> 01:01:58,680
Speaker 1: a private Instagram account?

1397
01:01:58,760 --> 01:02:01,040
Speaker 3: Like you? Just the question is this question?

1398
01:02:01,400 --> 01:02:04,480
Speaker 5: That's yeah, I probably should have reached out to him

1399
01:02:04,520 --> 01:02:06,640
Speaker 5: before I posted a picture of his foot, But.

1400
01:02:08,520 --> 01:02:09,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, what are you going to do?

1401
01:02:09,680 --> 01:02:13,280
Speaker 1: Oh well, yeah, too late? Okay, Tonight's games two on

1402
01:02:13,360 --> 01:02:16,600
Speaker 1: tonight TNT Game two Hawks Clip Hawks Sixers, excuse me?

1403
01:02:16,920 --> 01:02:19,600
Speaker 1: And then game one between the Clippers and the Jazz.

1404
01:02:19,680 --> 01:02:22,520
Speaker 1: Yes that's in Utah. Just quickly here before we wrap up.

1405
01:02:22,560 --> 01:02:24,600
Speaker 1: One thing to watch for in either of these games TK,

1406
01:02:25,240 --> 01:02:25,960
Speaker 1: I want to see.

1407
01:02:26,040 --> 01:02:29,120
Speaker 3: Ben Simmons on Tray Young from the start. Sounded like

1408
01:02:29,200 --> 01:02:32,440
Speaker 3: he wanted the matchup after game one, he should be

1409
01:02:32,560 --> 01:02:35,080
Speaker 3: the primary matchup, you would think, obviously Tyble should get

1410
01:02:35,120 --> 01:02:37,680
Speaker 3: some time as well, But we don't want to see

1411
01:02:37,840 --> 01:02:41,200
Speaker 3: Danny Green and Seth Curry trying to guard Trey Young.

1412
01:02:41,280 --> 01:02:43,720
Speaker 3: The key will be Simmons staying out of foul trouble.

1413
01:02:43,880 --> 01:02:46,480
Speaker 3: When he finally did start garding Tray there in the

1414
01:02:46,560 --> 01:02:48,600
Speaker 3: third quarter of Game one, picked up a couple of

1415
01:02:48,680 --> 01:02:51,480
Speaker 3: fouls in just three minutes. But he's definitely the guy

1416
01:02:51,520 --> 01:02:53,800
Speaker 3: who's got the best chance on the sixers with the size,

1417
01:02:53,880 --> 01:02:56,680
Speaker 3: the quickness and the length to really challenge some of

1418
01:02:56,760 --> 01:02:59,080
Speaker 3: Trey's shots, whether it be a step back three or

1419
01:02:59,240 --> 01:03:01,320
Speaker 3: one of those little pole up floaters he likes to shoot.

1420
01:03:01,520 --> 01:03:03,480
Speaker 3: Ben Simmons really needs to put his stamp on this game.

1421
01:03:03,960 --> 01:03:06,080
Speaker 1: Same question, either of these games. That's something you're really

1422
01:03:06,120 --> 01:03:07,240
Speaker 1: going to be focusing on tonight.

1423
01:03:08,120 --> 01:03:09,880
Speaker 2: Well, I can't wait to watch the Jazz in the

1424
01:03:09,960 --> 01:03:14,320
Speaker 2: fourth quarter against Kawhi and the Clippers because will Donovan

1425
01:03:14,360 --> 01:03:16,680
Speaker 2: Mitchell try and take over or will the Jazz try

1426
01:03:16,720 --> 01:03:18,520
Speaker 2: and do what they've done a lot of the season

1427
01:03:18,600 --> 01:03:21,520
Speaker 2: and do it by committee. It's the classic best player

1428
01:03:21,720 --> 01:03:24,360
Speaker 2: versus best team scenarios. So yeah, the end of the

1429
01:03:24,400 --> 01:03:26,920
Speaker 2: game there is Rudy going to be able to take

1430
01:03:26,960 --> 01:03:29,920
Speaker 2: away a bit of Kawhi and is Donovan Mitchell going

1431
01:03:30,000 --> 01:03:32,959
Speaker 2: to be able to take everything he wants? It's gonna

1432
01:03:32,960 --> 01:03:36,720
Speaker 2: be a great, great series. We got four series, once

1433
01:03:36,760 --> 01:03:39,960
Speaker 2: a dud, which we should just hope, just hope that

1434
01:03:40,000 --> 01:03:41,440
Speaker 2: we've got three other series.

1435
01:03:42,040 --> 01:03:44,640
Speaker 1: The one we thought was gonna be like the finals

1436
01:03:44,800 --> 01:03:47,480
Speaker 1: matchup happening in the second round. Yeah, that one, unfortunately

1437
01:03:47,560 --> 01:03:49,360
Speaker 1: right now is the dud. But the other ones are

1438
01:03:49,680 --> 01:03:52,320
Speaker 1: shaping up hopefully to be pretty good. Do the Sixers

1439
01:03:52,360 --> 01:03:55,400
Speaker 1: need to win tonight ley for them to escape for

1440
01:03:55,440 --> 01:03:57,680
Speaker 1: the Atlanta Hawks who are playing fast and loose?

1441
01:03:58,440 --> 01:03:58,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so.

1442
01:03:59,160 --> 01:04:01,520
Speaker 4: I mean, I know we saw the Clippers come back

1443
01:04:01,560 --> 01:04:03,800
Speaker 4: from losing the first two at home, but it certainly

1444
01:04:03,840 --> 01:04:05,520
Speaker 4: wouldn't be the way that Doc Rivers would like to

1445
01:04:05,600 --> 01:04:07,080
Speaker 4: come to Atlanta with his team in a two to

1446
01:04:07,160 --> 01:04:09,560
Speaker 4: zero hole. Because if Ben Simmons does go and Trey

1447
01:04:09,640 --> 01:04:11,520
Speaker 4: Young and the six is still in, then where do

1448
01:04:11,680 --> 01:04:13,680
Speaker 4: the six the Hawks still win? Where did the Sixers

1449
01:04:13,760 --> 01:04:16,240
Speaker 4: go from there? So this one is shaping up though,

1450
01:04:16,240 --> 01:04:18,640
Speaker 4: to be a pretty interesting series, because what will Joel

1451
01:04:18,640 --> 01:04:20,120
Speaker 4: and Bed look like tonight? I mean, I know he

1452
01:04:20,200 --> 01:04:22,160
Speaker 4: wasn't one hundred percent the other game, but if they

1453
01:04:22,200 --> 01:04:24,439
Speaker 4: can get Clink Coppeller off the floor, then that really

1454
01:04:24,520 --> 01:04:26,840
Speaker 4: does leave a hole I think for the Atlanta Horse

1455
01:04:26,880 --> 01:04:30,400
Speaker 4: because it's basically Gallinari who's going to maybe get some

1456
01:04:30,480 --> 01:04:33,080
Speaker 4: minutes there, and a Kong Wu as well, so that

1457
01:04:33,440 --> 01:04:37,160
Speaker 4: really should play into the Sixers strategy somewhat. So will

1458
01:04:37,240 --> 01:04:39,520
Speaker 4: Joel and be try to do that. I know Capella

1459
01:04:39,520 --> 01:04:41,600
Speaker 4: I think finished with five thousand game one, but if

1460
01:04:41,640 --> 01:04:43,520
Speaker 4: you can get him off the court early, that might

1461
01:04:43,640 --> 01:04:44,800
Speaker 4: just open things up a little bit.

1462
01:04:44,880 --> 01:04:45,960
Speaker 3: So we'll see.

1463
01:04:46,000 --> 01:04:47,800
Speaker 4: I'm very excited for this one. I was excited for

1464
01:04:47,840 --> 01:04:50,680
Speaker 4: the last night though, too, and I'm disappointed and furious

1465
01:04:50,760 --> 01:04:54,080
Speaker 4: and angry this morning, but I've got a little bit

1466
01:04:54,120 --> 01:04:55,920
Speaker 4: more faith in the Hawks and the Sixers.

1467
01:04:56,080 --> 01:04:58,480
Speaker 1: You never really said, what did roxy think of your

1468
01:04:58,640 --> 01:05:01,640
Speaker 1: booten halls? Are around with you? Or should just walk

1469
01:05:01,680 --> 01:05:02,200
Speaker 1: out of the room.

1470
01:05:02,560 --> 01:05:05,360
Speaker 4: I think she's just being the good wife, asking the

1471
01:05:05,440 --> 01:05:08,080
Speaker 4: question but not really listening for the answer. It's like, oh, yeah, okay,

1472
01:05:08,080 --> 01:05:09,440
Speaker 4: I gotta get a bit yeah, It's.

1473
01:05:09,360 --> 01:05:14,080

1499

1500
01:06:19,200 --> 01:06:22,080
Speaker 2: a Tim Burton movie back there behind the computer. It's

1501
01:06:22,160 --> 01:06:28,560
Speaker 2: just sort of a hodgepodge of crap. No disrespect to

1502
01:06:28,600 --> 01:06:30,960
Speaker 2: Tim Horton, I Tim Tim Tim.

1503
01:06:30,800 --> 01:06:34,080
Speaker 3: Burton got a double double a phone back there.

1504
01:06:36,840 --> 01:06:38,480
Speaker 2: Freaky Yeah.

1505
01:06:38,480 --> 01:06:41,080
Speaker 1: Imagine handing over a Tim Horton's cup to a guy

1506
01:06:41,160 --> 01:06:43,520
Speaker 1: with six fingers instead of six toes? Does he have

1507
01:06:43,880 --> 01:06:44,920
Speaker 1: six fingers on each hand?

1508
01:06:44,960 --> 01:06:47,400
Speaker 2: To j D, that's just just the test.

1509
01:06:48,320 --> 01:06:51,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, Well we got new twelve toes, show

1510
01:06:51,480 --> 01:06:54,240
Speaker 1: it to old eight toes. That's a that's a twenty

1511
01:06:54,360 --> 01:06:56,720
Speaker 1: right there, and you had them all together. Clipper bros.

01:07:06,080 --> 01:07:09,080
