Speaker 1: He will go in Game five. Schaums says the Bucks

13
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:48,239
Speaker 1: are seeking trade offers free honest, Yeah they are. Yeah,

14
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 1: that's breaking news for the tenth time. And Steve Kerr

15
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 1: is staying with the Warriors. That's later, that's in his

16
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:57,960
Speaker 1: this news. But we got some NBA playoff basketball to

17
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 1: break down. Let's start with the Cavaliers now square with

18
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 1: the top seeded Pistons thanks to the one twelve, one

19
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:06,760
Speaker 1: to oh three win in Cleveland. The Cavs used a

20
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 1: twenty two to zero run in the third quarter. The

21
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 1: Cavalanche and Donovan Mitchell scored thirty nine points in the

22
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:15,760
Speaker 1: second half, tying the all time playoff record for points

23
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 1: and a half with Eric Sleepy Floyd. I feel like

24
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 1: Sleepy Floyd this morning with that late game there between

25
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 1: the Thunder and Lakers. But we're talking Calves tie in

26
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 1: this uptass and do we start there in the third

27
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 1: quarter and Donovan Mitchell in the Cavs with that twenty

28
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 1: two to do run.

29
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:34,559
Speaker 2: We have to because Donovan Mitchell looked like a different

30
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 2: guy first half, didn't have the touch, only hit one

31
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 2: shot in the whole half. He comes out the third

32
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,039
Speaker 2: quarter thought it was a great play by Kenny Atkinson

33
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:45,319
Speaker 2: to get him going on a shot he could not miss.

34
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 2: When he was off the ball, James Harden on the

35
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 2: left wing sets up Donovan Mitchell on a nice cut.

36
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 2: That'sar Thompson kind of fell asleep. Don Mitchell gets the ball.

37
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 2: It's a floater. He has to hit this right. He's

38
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 2: too talented, not too He hits it, bank bank, Bank

39
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 2: hits his first three shots. He was feeling so good,

40
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 2: even got mad when the Cavs hit a shot right

41
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 2: after that.

42
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 3: James Harden went to the right wing.

43
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 2: Donovan was ready. He was ready to get that ball

44
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 2: didn't come to him. Swing, swing, and got to James

45
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 2: Harden again, who hit a shot. Donvan still arms out waiting,

46
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 2: when's that ball come? He wouldn't talk to Johnny Bryant,

47
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 2: associate head coach, not assistant head coach. When whenever teams

48
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 2: specify that, I always have to note that he would

49
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:24,079
Speaker 2: talk to Johnny Bryant said, that's my ball, that's my shot.

50
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 2: I guess that's how superstars act when they are feeling good,

51
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 2: because that dude was feeling it on that twenty two

52
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:33,080
Speaker 2: over run. He just wasn't going out at home like

53
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 2: that after half. So they felt obviously incredibly good. Well

54
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:39,519
Speaker 2: on the other side of the Calves kind of or

55
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:42,359
Speaker 2: the Pistons, I should say, didn't have an incredible kid,

56
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 2: and the Calves kept it going until the fourth quarter.

57
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 2: Fun game for Donovan Mitchell to look different than Sleepy

58
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 2: Floyd looked. I guess I don't know how Sleepy Floyd

59
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,919
Speaker 2: looked in his half of play, but he looked obviously incredible,

60
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 2: totally different guy in the second half.

61
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 4: You gotta have some tired eyes to be nicknamed sleep Yeah,

62
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 4: he probably was looking pretty snoozy.

63
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 3: As he was a figure.

64
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 4: Donovan Mitchell in the first half, oh got him, but

65
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 4: I thought he kind of actually got going right at

66
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,239
Speaker 4: the end of the second quarter. Hit that three from

67
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:12,119
Speaker 4: the corner. It's like, okay, that's a little inspiring. Came

68
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 4: out like you're saying, had the cut, and then went

69
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 4: on an eight zero run to start the second half.

70
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:19,639
Speaker 4: He just really wisened up, I thought. On the way

71
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,359
Speaker 4: he was attacking. He said he was having trouble penetrating

72
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 4: in the first half and the Pistons were doing a

73
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 4: really good job of boxes and elbows walling off the

74
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 4: paint so.

75
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 1: He couldn't get there.

76
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 2: I thought he was just missing.

77
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 4: He missed some shots he should have missed, but he

78
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 4: was also doing a pretty good job of drawing two

79
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 4: and playmaking. And then in the second half, Jalen Duran

80
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 4: files out and Donovan Mitchell just has zero concern for

81
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 4: Paul Reed as a defender inside, so he said, guess what,

82
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 4: here's eighteen floaters on top of your head. Didn't try

83
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 4: to get all the way to the rim, stopped right

84
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,839
Speaker 4: outside the restricted area, popped it in over the top

85
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 4: that was pretty impressive, and Harden had an awesome first half.

86
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 4: This guy was in the lane all night. He was aggressive,

87
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 4: looking to score, looking to create. He finished with a

88
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 4: double double, twenty four points, eleven assists.

89
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 1: Calves went down oh too.

90
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 4: Harden took over down the stretching game three one on

91
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 4: that game, then completely outplayed Cad Cunningham in this game.

92
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 4: Heard a lot about his bad first two games, probably

93
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 4: won't hear nearly as much about these two very clutch

94
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 4: performances when his team needed wins. Helped put the team

95
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 4: on his back, and Harden's a huge part of the

96
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 4: reason that this is a two to two series. Going

97
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 4: back to Cleveland, you would set or going back to Detroit,

98
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:22,720
Speaker 4: you would say that the Cavs have all the momentum,

99
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,279
Speaker 4: but they haven't won a road playoff game yet, and

100
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 4: Detroit definitely had all the momentum coming to Cleveland. This

101
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 4: could easily be a home team wins every game series.

102
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:35,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, totally, Yeah, it's totally coin flip right now, because

103
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,599
Speaker 2: how well Detroit played to start this series, unlike what

104
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,279
Speaker 2: they did in Round one, Game five is everything.

105
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 3: It feels like.

106
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 1: You're saying it's pivotal. Quite I think it's pivotal there

107
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 1: later this week. Absolutely, Yeah, Cleveland's gonna have to do

108
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:50,040
Speaker 1: this on the road. That's just what we're at. They

109
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 1: look awesome at home, unbeaten at home. These guys play

110
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 1: much better their superstars, their support players. You know, you

111
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 1: gave Mitchell love that was that was wild. I mean

112
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 1: he had individual defender on their heels. He was going

113
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 1: through contact, like you said, Trey at the floatery at

114
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:05,919
Speaker 1: the jumpery of the three. When he gets going, he

115
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 1: sort of feels unstoppable. Then you're busting out the patent

116
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 1: and swim move that he does on guys. He was awesome,

117
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 1: hardin was great and mobile. A guy I have called

118
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 1: out here already in these playoffs said, man, this guy

119
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 1: like a little overrated, Like, when's this guy gonna step up?

120
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 1: He didn't have a huge scoring game, Well, holy crap,

121
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:24,839
Speaker 1: did he do everything else in this game. Seventeen points,

122
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 1: eight boards, five assists, five blocks, three steals guys two

123
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:31,159
Speaker 1: steals short of a five by five in a huge,

124
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 1: like sort of must win game. So he was great.

125
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 1: The stars like backed it up here for Cleveland, where

126
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 1: you know the Pistons, Kate had a rough game. Another

127
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:43,160
Speaker 1: one of these weird games when it came to turnovers, fascinating,

128
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 1: just sort of the sloppy ones. Jalen Duran brutal, Like

129
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,040
Speaker 1: it was a tough decision there, I think for Bickerstaph

130
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 1: because he was like one hand Jill and Duran is

131
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:53,600
Speaker 1: not doing anything, so let's go beball Paul. He at

132
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,039
Speaker 1: least is giving you energy on the offense. ND. But yeah,

133
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:59,119
Speaker 1: maybe giving some of it back defensively. But Karris Lovert

134
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 1: and be Ball Paul they were key been at least

135
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 1: in the game there in the third quarter because the

136
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,720
Speaker 1: Stars for Detroit did not travel to Cleveland, even though

137
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 1: it's a short drive I think from Detroit to Cleveland.

138
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 1: So yeah, this is a weird series, man, Yeah it is.

139
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 1: It's tough. Like I said that, heading into this game

140
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 1: is like I don't know, I don't know which team

141
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:16,720
Speaker 1: is going to like show up from quarter to quarter,

142
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 1: half to half. So you know, the only thing we

143
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:21,480
Speaker 1: can bank on right now is Cleveland's just got to

144
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 1: play much better on the road in Detroit where they've

145
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 1: played pretty good at home.

146
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 2: Right. Yeah, was just an odd game to see krislovertz

147
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:28,799
Speaker 2: season high.

148
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:32,040
Speaker 3: On May eleventh, twenty four points.

149
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 2: And yeah, the Caid Jalen Duran, the chemistry there wasn't

150
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 2: there in that fourth quarter. What a weird turnover when

151
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:42,679
Speaker 2: Jalen Duran just didn't have his head up and Caid

152
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 2: ends up being credited or discredited with the turnover because

153
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 2: Jalen Duran ate Ready. They try Isaiah Stewart, he couldn't score.

154
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:53,359
Speaker 2: They just needed more scores and sad and Durn's not

155
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:54,599
Speaker 2: doing Isaiah Stuart's not doing it.

156
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, they go to Paul Reid.

157
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 2: But Evan Mobley has been dominating Jalen Duran blocking block

158
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 2: his shot. He's literally blocked him now seven times coming

159
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 2: into this game, directly on Durham and then had one

160
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 2: more last night. So he's dominating that. Although he's not

161
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 2: dominating the offensive and scoring wise, he's doing so many things,

162
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 2: as you said, and near five by fives just two

163
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 2: steals away.

164
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 4: Mobley was awesome. I mean, he got to seventeen points.

165
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 4: That's like his average. Yes, it's an average game, but

166
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 4: he was on point defensively from the very first quarter.

167
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 1: He was just everywhere.

168
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 4: And I thought that turnover with Duran where he's rolling

169
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 4: down the lane Cad goes for the jump pass. You know,

170
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 4: it looks like he's taking a jumper. That just shows

171
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 4: me Duran has zero confidence right now. Three points, one rebound,

172
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 4: two turnovers in the second half. He's barely looking to score.

173
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 4: He's got no moves. I mean, he had one post

174
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 4: up where there was nobody around, looked really nice. But

175
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 4: other than that, he's trying to body guys up and

176
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 4: he's not able to push through Jared Allen right now.

177
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 4: I thought Allen played a really good game as well

178
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 4: for an under double digit scoring night, Like he was

179
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 4: emphatic at the rim, he was rebounding, he looked tougher

180
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 4: than Duran. And if Durren doesn't have toughness, what else

181
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 4: is he bringing because he's not much of a defender

182
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 4: right now either.

183
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 1: So Yeah, if I was JB.

184
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 4: Bicks, I wouldn't hesitate to go to Paul Reed. If

185
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 4: Duran's struggling, at least he's going to give you some

186
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 4: energy on the offensive end, and kind of they need offense.

187
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 2: I think the Pistons doo. Yeah, he's just not consistent Jalen.

188
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 2: Duran did have one move where he broke down Mobile

189
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 2: and he scored on him on the dribble.

190
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 3: One move.

191
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 2: That's exactly how many he would have per game throughout

192
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:32,440
Speaker 2: the season. I'm always waiting for one move where he

193
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:34,080
Speaker 2: puts it on the floor, and he had that one move,

194
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 2: but he didn't score a lot. And then you get

195
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:38,839
Speaker 2: an usar Thompson game where you have to take him

196
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 2: off the floor.

197
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:42,319
Speaker 1: That was maybe the worst game I've seen him playoffs season.

198
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 3: Just watching a lot of piss.

199
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 1: He was frustrated with the whistle he was getting early,

200
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 1: but he was completely taken out of this game. Yeah,

201
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 1: that was very bad at sar Thompson, and that's that's

202
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 1: not going to be a good pairing when he's having

203
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 1: a rough game and then Jalen Duran is also having

204
00:08:57,640 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 1: a rough game. It's like these are two guys that

205
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:01,959
Speaker 1: are not shooting by any means, so they're just getting

206
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,840
Speaker 1: in the way when they're having bad games like that.

207
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 1: And to me, like sorry, Like the Pistons felt like

208
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:11,320
Speaker 1: they were attempting to like play basketball in a Trader

209
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 1: Joe's aisle. There was no room. There's no room at

210
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 1: Trader Joe's. You can't get two people by each other

211
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:20,560
Speaker 1: in those aisles. So they were just always like just

212
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 1: like they're just like these passes that were not there.

213
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:26,319
Speaker 1: There were these like windows that were like way too small. Yea,

214
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:29,719
Speaker 1: so many times credit to the Cavs active hands all that,

215
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 1: but like there's times what are you doing, like take

216
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 1: the shot. There's like three or four times like somebody

217
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 1: should have shot it instead of like maybe a little

218
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 1: too cute with the extra pass that was then deflected

219
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 1: and picked off.

220
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:45,319
Speaker 2: Max Strew's had that dunk that was surprising to everybody.

221
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 2: He had a huge dunk. I thought, okay, he's got

222
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,440
Speaker 2: one of those glue guy steals right because it was

223
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 2: in the back court of Detroit, So I had to

224
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 2: rewatch that play and it was just to start Thompson

225
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 2: dropping the ball.

226
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 3: They literally just dropped the ball.

227
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:02,080
Speaker 4: Twice one with Harden in the first quarter as well.

228
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 4: So twenty turnover twenty or for the Pistons, four of

229
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 4: them for Thompson. Tobias Harris like finally cooled off, went

230
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 4: oh for eight in the second half. Pistons only took

231
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 4: twenty three three pointers. That is not enough against the

232
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:17,840
Speaker 4: team like the Calves and they're packing the paint, Cleveland

233
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:19,840
Speaker 4: is they're like anybody can try and beat us from

234
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 4: the outside, and they did a good job. Finally staying

235
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 4: attached to Duncan Robinson, I thought, if you're able to

236
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 4: take him out of the three point game, you're living

237
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 4: with everybody else. Even though Karris Lavert did have a

238
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 4: good game, good to see him wake up and hit

239
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 4: them off the dribble shots. But that's not something that's

240
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:34,680
Speaker 4: really stressing out the Caves.

241
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 1: I don't think the Pistons attempting twelve free throws to

242
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 1: Cleveland's thirty four. Bickerstaff was asked about this after the game.

243
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:43,319
Speaker 1: He said, quote, ever since we came to Cleveland, the

244
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:46,200
Speaker 1: whistle has changed. There's no way that one guy on

245
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:49,079
Speaker 1: their team, talking about Donovan Mitchell shoots more free throws

246
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 1: than our team. We're not a subtle team. We're not

247
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 1: a jump shooting team. We drive the ball and we

248
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:56,679
Speaker 1: attack the paint. He had more to say, but I'll

249
00:10:56,679 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 1: stop there. But yeah, this has been the big change

250
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 1: here from the games in Detroit to the games in Cleveland.

251
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 1: Detroit attempted fifty five free throws in the first two

252
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 1: games and that's down here to thirty four over these

253
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 1: last two so significant drop off. But the Cav's playing

254
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:15,080
Speaker 1: with a lot more energy and force. Of course this

255
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:17,200
Speaker 1: is smart. A coach needs to say something like this, Hey,

256
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:18,959
Speaker 1: what happened to the whistle? Why are we get in

257
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 1: this sudden change of whistle?

258
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 4: But he literally said, yeah, Kenny did this after game two,

259
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:25,080
Speaker 4: and look how the whistles changed. So I'm basically trying

260
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 4: to trick the rest as well, which I thought was awesome.

261
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:29,840
Speaker 4: He's being completely honest about it. He's like, yeah, if

262
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,200
Speaker 4: I say something, you're gonna change it because human nature.

263
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 1: Maybe I mean, I'll give jb this. He was trying

264
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:37,840
Speaker 1: to stop the cavalanche. He called two timeouts within the

265
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 1: first four minutes of that third quarter. He called one

266
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 1: like two minutes in when Donovan Mitchell couldn't miss. Then

267
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 1: they come back out, they couldn't score still, obviously Calves

268
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 1: couldn't stop scoring another one. He was trying everything to

269
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:51,199
Speaker 1: stop that thing, but it just got out of hand,

270
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 1: and then they were playing from behind the whole time.

271
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 1: As much as Carris and beeball, Paul sort of kept

272
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 1: them just the round enough ye And then at the

273
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 1: end got really funny because then like the third string

274
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 1: guys came in and suddenly Detroit like went on a

275
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 1: little run and Kenny had to get starters back in.

276
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 2: Kenny said it was all the Don. Never heard him

277
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 2: call donnov Mitchell Don. He didn't say the Don. He

278
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 2: said second half performance by Don just calls him Don.

279
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 2: And yeah, Kenny Atkinson again, that play to get Donovan

280
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:25,679
Speaker 2: Mitchell a look where he doesn't have to create just

281
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 2: to get him going.

282
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 3: That helps.

283
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 2: Even though Star Thompson was bad this game. You can't

284
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 2: just line him up against the sar Thompson and try

285
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 2: and do that when he gets hot, you can, but

286
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:38,200
Speaker 2: he was just not feeling it until that point.

287
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 1: I say that was fun because during the halftime show,

288
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 1: Maria Taylor was asking all of these incredible scores in

289
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:46,679
Speaker 1: t Mac, Vince Carter and Caamello Anthony, like, hey, put

290
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 1: yourself in Donovan mitchell shoes rough first half, big playoff game.

291
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 1: You know, yeah, well what's your mindset coming out of

292
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 1: the locker room in the second half, And they were like,

293
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 1: you know, basically saying pretty obvious things, but like, you

294
00:12:58,200 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 1: got to get inside, you gotta get to the line,

295
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 1: you got to see the ball go through, and sort

296
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:03,560
Speaker 1: of it was cool that they implemented it right away,

297
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 1: got him an easy look just cutting off ball, great

298
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:08,680
Speaker 1: pass from Harden and yeah it was like a whatever

299
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 1: six foot shot there for him, of course easy. And

300
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 1: then he just started snowball and so they were like

301
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 1: they nailed it, Like of course he can have a

302
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 1: monster second half. This guy puts up huge numbers in

303
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 1: playoff games.

304
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:21,720
Speaker 2: But still a coin flip in this series. Right going

305
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:24,560
Speaker 2: into game five, Well, we see a good James Arden

306
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:28,160
Speaker 2: game TBD. We'll see how this whole Cavs team can

307
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:28,960
Speaker 2: perform in Detroit.

308
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:32,679
Speaker 1: Have we even had a big liked game in this series? Yeah? No,

309
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 1: So I mean, who's to say that's not coming so good?

310
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 1: Fourth quarters? Yeah?

311
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, so yeah at home for sure, I.

312
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:41,880
Speaker 4: Thought, uh, you gotta give a big shout out to

313
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 4: Dean Wade. He played an awesome game for zero points.

314
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:46,560
Speaker 4: I thought he was all over Cad Cunningham and this

315
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 4: one had five rebounds which were actually important. Every single

316
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 4: time there was a ball screen or a dribble handoff,

317
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 4: it was Dean Wade and whoever the big was basically

318
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 4: double teaming Cade. So that's a lot of arms that

319
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:01,079
Speaker 4: he's got to see turned into five more turnovers for him.

320
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 4: Twenty two so far on the series. That's not very good.

321
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 4: Ninety four feet of pressure I thought was important as well.

322
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 4: Wade or Struce picking up kid, just making him work

323
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 4: the entire game, and he just didn't have it enough

324
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 4: in this one to pull him out over the top end.

325
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 4: Good performances by the Calves, But yeah, you have to

326
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 4: imagine Cad will bounce back. Maybe they get another good

327
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 4: performance from Duncan Robinson back at home shooting the ball,

328
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 4: maybe Carris Lavert stays in a bit of a rhythm.

329
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 4: They can be better, for sure, But I thought Cleveland

330
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 4: handled things pretty well in Cleveland.

331
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, and like you said, the two numbers are like,

332
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 1: you probably got to get more three point attempts up

333
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 1: and a big part of that is Duncan Rumson. And

334
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 1: then yeah, you how many times in playoff games this

335
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 1: postseason if we talked about a team having eighteen, nineteen

336
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 1: twenty turnovers'd just say every time. Yeah, you're not gonna

337
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 1: win when you have twenty turnovers in these games, like

338
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 1: you're obviously playing a strong competition. I have to imagine

339
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 1: the record for teams that have put up twenty turnovers

340
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 1: in games in this postseason is quite bad. Maybe there's

341
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 1: the odd win or two from a team in there,

342
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 1: but not many. It's just way too many possessions you're

343
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 1: giving up, and obviously easier buckets in transition. For the

344
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 1: most part.

345
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 2: You know, the good Golden State Warriors could do that,

346
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 2: but not many this playoffs. I'm trying to think of one,

347
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 2: but I don't know. I don't have the turnover numbers

348
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 2: on my head.

349
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 1: Anything else from the Calves tieless thing up.

350
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 2: Well, I think Kenny Atkinson as the Cavs coach. He's

351
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 2: the new Mike Boudenholzer. Mike Buonholzer was just the open

352
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 2: mouthed guy, like what's happening here? I think Kenny Atkinson

353
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 2: is the new guy, the new mic.

354
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 4: He's got good face reactions for sure. Do you think

355
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 4: his hair is slick back or pushback?

356
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 2: He went from a big change from Game three to

357
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 2: Game four. Doesn't change because he.

358
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 1: Was You've seen him in Detroit. He was a real

359
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:46,440
Speaker 1: piece of shit. But people can change.

360
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 2: He got a haircut before game three exactly. I noticed

361
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 2: him and Sam Merrill all got their haircut before Game three.

362
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 2: I wondered, going to game three, do they have the

363
00:15:57,760 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 2: same barber?

364
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 3: Those three guys three for one, but I would call

365
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 3: that a slick.

366
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 2: Back that he had in Game four. Trey was more.

367
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 4: It looked really wet. Yeah, yeah, he's using that LA

368
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 4: looks gel I think I also liked uh. This game

369
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 4: was funny from the very beginning. Mark Davis apparently was

370
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:21,840
Speaker 4: standing in front of the scorer's table like practicing his

371
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 4: jump balls. No Eagle mentions on the broadcast, They're like,

372
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 4: don't worry, Mark Davis is warmed up, man, terrible jump off,

373
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 4: horrible overthought it. Yeah, they start laughing at him, retoss

374
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 4: it and it was still a pretty bad toss. The

375
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 4: second one, Yeah, went way more towards Jared Allen. I

376
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:40,320
Speaker 4: think that was a hilarious moment.

377
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, No Eagles saying I jinxed it, like broadcasters say

378
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 2: when they say a free throw shooters doing well.

379
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 1: What do you think of Robbie Hummel's telestrator work. This

380
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 1: is the second game in the row where he's done

381
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 1: some telestrated work. And then they've showed us the czar

382
00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 1: Mike Fratello in attendance in Cleveland. Wow, did split screeze?

383
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 1: They did that in game three, and they did in

384
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:06,400
Speaker 1: game four, and I think they're trying to push the nickname.

385
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 1: If Frattella was the tzar, they're saying Robbie Hummel is

386
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 1: the monarch. That's what That's what it said on the screen. Works, yes,

387
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:20,119
Speaker 1: and you know, I think I think it's he's not

388
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 1: bad at it. No, it's good room for improvement, for sure.

389
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 1: But yeah, we.

390
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:25,960
Speaker 4: Don't see enough telestrating a work. I agree, that's a

391
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:27,959
Speaker 4: cool piece of technology, that's right.

392
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 1: That's right.

393
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 2: When they showed the little you know, the lower third,

394
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:35,240
Speaker 2: here's this guy's nickname, and here's this guy's nickname, the

395
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:38,280
Speaker 2: czar in the Monarch. It didn't come after Robbie Hummel

396
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:40,119
Speaker 2: did something on the Telestrader which was.

397
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 3: Weird to me.

398
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:43,880
Speaker 2: That was weird to me, you know, you know, let's

399
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 2: tell people what it is. Because I'm not All the

400
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:49,280
Speaker 2: geeks the basketball not not not the mainstreamers don't know.

401
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:51,119
Speaker 2: We call that guy the.

402
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 3: Czar because you know, I thought you should they should

403
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:54,879
Speaker 3: have done it. Afterwards.

404
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:56,840
Speaker 2: I'm going to be critical, but I think Robbi Hummel

405
00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 2: is good tellustrating.

406
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's good. He's a good animus, that's for sure.

407
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 4: And I liked him talking about being a scrub in

408
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:05,160
Speaker 4: the NBA and how hard it is to score coming

409
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:07,480
Speaker 4: off the bench late in these games in garbage time,

410
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 4: because he was like a star in college, right, He's

411
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:11,680
Speaker 4: like I used to always say to the walk ons,

412
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:14,359
Speaker 4: how hard is it to come in and score a basket?

413
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 4: It's like the easiest thing in the world. And then

414
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:17,280
Speaker 4: I got to the NBA where I'm the guy at

415
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:18,680
Speaker 4: the end of the bench, and it turns out it's

416
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 4: actually really hard to sit for three hours and come

417
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 4: in hot.

418
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:24,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, Sam Merrill prove that. I mean he had open

419
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:27,160
Speaker 2: threes yea too as well.

420
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, he.

421
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:30,680
Speaker 1: Was getting good looks too, And they kept bringing that

422
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 1: up on the broadcast, like, wow, this could be this

423
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:34,439
Speaker 1: could have been way worse for Detroit if he's knockting

424
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 1: these downright finished, I think two for seven, I want

425
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 1: to say, from deep three, yeah, from deep.

426
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:43,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, Donovan Mitchell hit yet another floater, and Noah Eagle

427
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:47,920
Speaker 4: yells out Mitchell Palooza, and then it just turned into

428
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 4: an old school reference off between these guys. Robbi Hummel says,

429
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 4: you bring your green hat and we'll just watch what

430
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:55,880
Speaker 4: Donovan Mitchell's doing here. He's putting on a show Grant

431
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 4: Hill says, feels like a concert, to which Eagle says,

432
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:00,920
Speaker 4: right now, it feels like he's on fire. He has

433
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 4: the calves streaking in the second half. I was impressed

434
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:08,480
Speaker 4: by these deep old school references. At one point, Noah

435
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:12,440
Speaker 4: also yelled rain drops on a Donovan Mitchell three pointers.

436
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 4: So he has referenced Fletch old school, and along came

437
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 4: Polly during these very playoffs. And I love the lineage

438
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:25,480
Speaker 4: because his dad, Iron Eagle, always yells, do not go

439
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:29,120
Speaker 4: in there on blocks, and that's an asventury reference. These

440
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 4: guys are watching Comedy's NonStop.

441
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,159
Speaker 1: Think you think the Eagles are on letterbox?

442
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:39,200
Speaker 4: Noah, Yeah, I agree, he is, he does IMDb ratings.

443
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:43,880
Speaker 1: Noah also did say the struce is loose with the juice.

444
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 1: Bill Simmons wasn't a fan.

445
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 4: I thought it was Grant that said that, because I

446
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:55,680
Speaker 4: saw the Iron Eagle yelled Stu bringing the juice. I

447
00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:59,159
Speaker 4: re ran the exact same play and Grant went, streuce

448
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:01,600
Speaker 4: is loose with the use. Yeah, okay, you're right, he's

449
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 4: got the boost.

450
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 3: Yeah.

451
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 1: Who who then made the comparison? Was it Tobias Harris

452
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:10,640
Speaker 1: to Bernard King? Was that comparison. Maybe, yes, yes he did.

453
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:11,480
Speaker 1: Is that a great mill?

454
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:14,199
Speaker 3: Oh I didn't don't remember that one.

455
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:14,720
Speaker 1: He definitely.

456
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:19,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, somebody's got to do the old turning of the toes.

457
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:22,680
Speaker 3: They must have watched the starters.

458
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:25,359
Speaker 1: Yeah maybe maybe. You know, speaking when we're speaking of

459
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 1: the broadcast to Grant Hill, he loves to say that

460
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 1: was impressive. Count how many times he'll say that during

461
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:39,159
Speaker 1: your broadcast. He was pretty funny. It's tough not to

462
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:40,879
Speaker 1: do that. I do love music.

463
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 4: I do love music.

464
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 1: That was He's a supportive guy. Yes, yes, anything else,

465
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:51,480
Speaker 1: anything else from what was an entertaining night of the NBA. Yeah,

466
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 1: I guess my only other note. I got one more here.

467
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:57,960
Speaker 1: I want to applaud the Cleveland Cavaliers fans for being

468
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:00,880
Speaker 1: back in their seats at the start to that third quarter.

469
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 1: I think it played a part of the cavalanche. Wow,

470
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 1: I had my eye on it. I've had my eye

471
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:08,359
Speaker 1: on all these playoff crowds. I keep bringing it up.

472
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:11,200
Speaker 1: You know, it's a lot of people are obviously getting

473
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:13,200
Speaker 1: their drinks, getting their food, trying to hit the restrooms,

474
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:15,359
Speaker 1: all that, you know, just hanging out, catching up with friends.

475
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 1: Oh maybe they're up in the Upper Bowl. We'll meet

476
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:19,120
Speaker 1: up for a drink. All that. I get it. We've

477
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 1: all been there. Slow to get back to your seat.

478
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:23,440
Speaker 2: I'm ready to watch it again because it's not very

479
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:26,400
Speaker 2: often you get to compliment a fan base because they're.

480
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:29,720
Speaker 1: I thought they quite a fair number were back. Nice

481
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:32,200
Speaker 1: to hear they're in the lower bowl, lower Bowl especially,

482
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 1: you know, the top bowl, the upper Bowl. They're always back.

483
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 1: I get that.

484
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:37,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, being back is the diff it can be the

485
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:41,239
Speaker 2: difference in a serious Yeah. There, Well, I'm watching it right,

486
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:42,200
Speaker 2: maxed out.

487
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:43,160
Speaker 1: It's pretty impressive.

488
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:44,120
Speaker 3: It is pretty impressive.

489
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:47,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, so good stuff, Cavaliers fans. I think you

490
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 1: played a part in the cavalanch there. And get me done,

491
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:54,440
Speaker 1: Mitchell going, All right, let's talk about the Oklahoma City

492
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:57,679
Speaker 1: Thunder sweeping the Lakers last night. They held them off

493
00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:01,160
Speaker 1: one fifteen ten is a competitive game.

494
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:02,440
Speaker 3: So that was fun.

495
00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:06,439
Speaker 1: But once again they get another playoff series sweep here.

496
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:11,359
Speaker 1: But again, LA's most complete I think four quarter effort, yeah,

497
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 1: in this series. But it still wasn't enough because let's

498
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:16,719
Speaker 1: be honest, you sort of have to play a perfect

499
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 1: game to beat the Thunder, And you know, I have

500
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 1: a couple things in my notes that I think the

501
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:23,159
Speaker 1: Lakers sort of just pooched at the end there in

502
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 1: the final they'd call it three minutes. There was a

503
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 1: three or four minor things that like added up to

504
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 1: a thunder victory because they were making the plays. But

505
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:31,160
Speaker 1: it was a close game.

506
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:35,280
Speaker 2: Okay, see not leading in a fourth quarter for the

507
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:39,119
Speaker 2: first time this playoffs so Overron James and the Lakers

508
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:41,639
Speaker 2: had him. Shay had to come back earlier than he

509
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 2: usually does with eight minutes left, but the Lakers went

510
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 2: on that seven to zero run, and yeah, they had

511
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 2: to be perfect and it was so close. Yeah, there's

512
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:50,760
Speaker 2: a couple things you can pick out. This play here,

513
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 2: this play there when it comes down to it out

514
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 2: of the time out, JJ Reddick drew up that nice

515
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 2: Lebron runner and he missed. If he hits that runner,

516
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:01,359
Speaker 2: they can win this game. So I was super close.

517
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:04,439
Speaker 2: I understand Lebron was mad, go straight back to the

518
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:07,680
Speaker 2: locker room. Don't need to talk to anybody after this game. Yeah,

519
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:10,200
Speaker 2: it sucked, It sucked, But I do say the Lakers

520
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 2: that thirty three seconds left that they double Shay and

521
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 2: Shay drops it for Isaiah Hartenstein in a short roll.

522
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:19,160
Speaker 3: They had three guys on Hartenstein.

523
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 2: They could have waited for home Gren or at least

524
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 2: had one guy a little closer to Homegren, so they

525
00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:24,639
Speaker 2: didn't have that lo up go at him. But we

526
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 2: can get be Yeah, we can parse it all. They

527
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 2: had to be perfect. You're right, they just missed a

528
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:31,560
Speaker 2: couple of shots.

529
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:33,640
Speaker 1: Man, Yeah, the other ones in my notes, just under

530
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:36,720
Speaker 1: three minutes left, La is down too. SGA finally miss

531
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:40,160
Speaker 1: misses his little patent a jumper. Lebron grabs the rebound

532
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:42,399
Speaker 1: and then he turns it over and it was like

533
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:44,119
Speaker 1: a good play by Hartenstein, got a hand on it,

534
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:46,479
Speaker 1: but like, oh they had it, they got the stop.

535
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:49,120
Speaker 1: That was a rough one. One thirty left La still

536
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:52,600
Speaker 1: down to Smart deflected an SGA pass, Lakers get it

537
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:55,720
Speaker 1: really hit the floor, got it to Lebron, zips it

538
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:59,640
Speaker 1: ahead to Austin Reeves. He decides to attack Sga chet

539
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:03,080
Speaker 1: hulng Gri sort of hanging back and ar sort of

540
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 1: drives into him and then dumps it off to Jackson

541
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 1: Hayes and he watches the lay up at temp. You know,

542
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:11,159
Speaker 1: maybe there was some contact there, but that was a

543
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 1: rough one. And then the other one you said, where

544
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:16,520
Speaker 1: they are now LA up one after Rui, you know,

545
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:19,159
Speaker 1: hit the huge four point play. If they get a

546
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:21,399
Speaker 1: stop and they score, I mean, they maybe extend the series.

547
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:25,680
Speaker 1: But the Lakers blitzed Sga, found Hartenstein inside nice passed

548
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:28,679
Speaker 1: to chet Holgrin and like Lebron and Reeves swarmed him

549
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 1: and it's like he just sort of like took his time,

550
00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:34,280
Speaker 1: powered up and then got the dunk. And it's like,

551
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:36,440
Speaker 1: oh man, if they had knocked that out even maybe

552
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:37,639
Speaker 1: even wrapped him up and put him on.

553
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:38,879
Speaker 3: The line too.

554
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:42,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, Okay, those little little plays. And again you got

555
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 1: to be perfect to beat this team, and they were close.

556
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:46,840
Speaker 1: It was like ninety eight percent on the test but

557
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:48,040
Speaker 1: not one hundred.

558
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:51,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, and the thunder were pretty much perfect. And the

559
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:54,119
Speaker 4: clutch they had eleven possessions during clutch time. They scored

560
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:56,639
Speaker 4: on eight of them. One of the three stops was

561
00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 4: the Shay or the Lebron turnover. They got back and

562
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:02,439
Speaker 4: scored right away. One of the stops for the Lakers

563
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:04,439
Speaker 4: was a wide open three pointer from the corner from

564
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:07,959
Speaker 4: aj Mitchell that he missed, and you don't expect him

565
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:09,480
Speaker 4: to miss when he's been playing as well as he was.

566
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 4: And their other stop was a legitimate turnover on Shake

567
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:14,360
Speaker 4: Kilders Alexander. So really they got one stop yeah, down

568
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:17,000
Speaker 4: the final five minutes, and that's impressive for the Thunder

569
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:19,320
Speaker 4: to not play a clutch game for a month and

570
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:20,440
Speaker 4: then they finally have one.

571
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 1: The crowd's going crazy.

572
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:24,640
Speaker 4: You're on the road, Lakers are playing well enough to win,

573
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 4: and they just scored every single time down.

574
00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:29,879
Speaker 1: Basically, yeah, yeah, it's a good point. An aj Mitchell.

575
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:33,359
Speaker 1: Awesome game from him, playoff career high now again, twenty

576
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 1: eight points on twelve of nineteen shooting forces for steels,

577
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:40,719
Speaker 1: three rebounds. Like, this guy slots in for an all

578
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 1: NBA guy in JDub, and he might be better offensively

579
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 1: than Jill and Williams that part, I think, when you

580
00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:51,399
Speaker 1: take into consideration the defense and all that, it's still Jdob.

581
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:54,640
Speaker 1: It's that, but man offensively maybe at least of course,

582
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 1: what we saw from Jadub this year with an injury

583
00:25:57,080 --> 00:26:01,400
Speaker 1: ravage season, so pretty incredible. This guy making three million dollars.

584
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:03,919
Speaker 2: A year, Yeah, he makes two point eight five million

585
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 2: next year. Score twenty eight points in this game. Imagine

586
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:09,680
Speaker 2: if he averaged twenty eight points per game next season,

587
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:13,160
Speaker 2: be making one hundred k per point and next season

588
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:14,639
Speaker 2: if you want to geek it out. But he had

589
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:17,480
Speaker 2: ten points in the fourth quarter there to help close

590
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:19,800
Speaker 2: it out, and yet they have to play him one

591
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:22,399
Speaker 2: on one. Maybe they don't have a question. You got

592
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 2: a double Shay and so he can take everybody, especially

593
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:30,000
Speaker 2: Austin reeveson in this particular matchup. He's gonna beat Austin Reeves.

594
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:31,639
Speaker 4: That's what I would say is you don't have to

595
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:35,200
Speaker 4: give up the switch every single time. That was pretty

596
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 4: simple for SGA and for Mitchell. They did eventually start

597
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:41,520
Speaker 4: doubling SGA, which to only open things up for Mitchell.

598
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:44,240
Speaker 4: But it was so easy for OKAC to get Canard

599
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:47,920
Speaker 4: or Reeves into every single action. Then they would then

600
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:50,320
Speaker 4: they would have either Canard or Reeves up there guarding

601
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:52,280
Speaker 4: SGA or Mitchell, and they say, okay, bring up the

602
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:56,800
Speaker 4: big guy. And both Shay and Mitchell feel super comfortable

603
00:26:56,840 --> 00:27:00,119
Speaker 4: against Ayton and Jackson Hayes. So there's two pickpoints at

604
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 4: the thunder we're picking on the entire time. You flash

605
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 4: back to the Rocket series, We're like, how are they

606
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:07,359
Speaker 4: not exploiting these defenders being out there? They just couldn't

607
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:09,520
Speaker 4: do it. Meanwhile, les, Jay and Mitchell are just like here,

608
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:11,959
Speaker 4: I'll just hit eighteen mid rangers. Yeah, I'm just another one,

609
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:13,760
Speaker 4: another one for you. And then the Lakers turned the

610
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:17,280
Speaker 4: ball over nineteen times. It's not quite twenty, no, but

611
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:20,040
Speaker 4: it's close. Yeah, it was just it's you know, this

612
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:22,560
Speaker 4: was a close game. But I think it's mostly because Okay,

613
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:26,080
Speaker 4: she shot poorly from three, Like they were in control

614
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:28,520
Speaker 4: of this one, and they looked awesome in the clutch.

615
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:30,040
Speaker 1: But yeah, twenty eight for Mitchell.

616
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:32,280
Speaker 4: This guy, Shay said he's been the best player for

617
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 4: us during this playoff series. You know, this was a

618
00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:38,600
Speaker 4: down series for shake Gilgess Alexander for sure. But I

619
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:40,720
Speaker 4: also heard Dwayne Wade say chet is the most underrated

620
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:42,360
Speaker 4: player in the entire playoffs.

621
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:42,960
Speaker 1: And maybe he is.

622
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:46,160
Speaker 4: Sixteen points, nine rebounds last night. He averaged twenty ten

623
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:48,360
Speaker 4: and three stocks for this series, and the Lakers shot

624
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:51,680
Speaker 4: forty three percent when he defended the rim. He dominated inside.

625
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:54,159
Speaker 4: This was a we are too big for you kind

626
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:56,639
Speaker 4: of series. Yeah, I thought, because Hertenstein thirty three percent

627
00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:58,159
Speaker 4: when he was here. He's a rim as well. And

628
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 4: the Lakers, I mean, Jackson Hayes play pretty great last

629
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:02,800
Speaker 4: night for them, but it didn't matter.

630
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:06,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, his playoff career high. Jackson Hayes was doing

631
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:09,680
Speaker 2: his thing. Did anybody feel bad for Lebron with twenty

632
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 2: seconds left missing a runner? They're down one point and

633
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:19,240
Speaker 2: Lebron missed a makable runner for him and to contest it.

634
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 2: But still, yeah, I mean it's Lebron, of course makeable. Yeah,

635
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:25,520
Speaker 2: they got the switch off them Crusille on him though.

636
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:27,720
Speaker 2: I mean, again, what an incredible luxury for the Thunder.

637
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 2: It's like, Okay, this guy an all defensive player, Now

638
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:32,119
Speaker 2: we'll just swap him with the other all defense player.

639
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:36,160
Speaker 2: But yeah, Lebron got by him and a makeable shot,

640
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:38,440
Speaker 2: and even Austin Reeves with the three at the end.

641
00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:42,280
Speaker 2: That thing was in and out, so they got looks

642
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 2: really on that kind of weird. I guess Maxi Kleeba

643
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:47,440
Speaker 2: was in just a screen.

644
00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 1: He's maybe a better screener.

645
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 4: But if I want, if I'm trying to get a three,

646
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:52,720
Speaker 4: I'd like the guy who's the best three point shooter

647
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 4: and playoff his sort of personally agree and had a

648
00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 4: great night.

649
00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, just hit the couple massive threes to keep them.

650
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:01,440
Speaker 2: Yeah in the game, are up? Yeah, I guess they

651
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:03,440
Speaker 2: knew it was coming from the top. The three was

652
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:05,400
Speaker 2: coming from the top, and they weren't going to pass

653
00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:05,840
Speaker 2: it at all.

654
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:08,440
Speaker 1: So yeah, it was definitely a quick shot.

655
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:10,680
Speaker 4: But I mean, if they are able to guard Reeves,

656
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 4: somebody else is going to have to get open, and

657
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:14,320
Speaker 4: I would take my chance with Ruley over Klee, but

658
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:17,160
Speaker 4: it didn't matter in the end. But I also wouldn't

659
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:19,800
Speaker 4: have switched Luke Canard onto a J. Mitchell for an

660
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 4: entire game. Yeah, different choices can be made.

661
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, A J. Mitchell getting to the rim was very impressive.

662
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:26,920
Speaker 3: The mid Rangers.

663
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:28,760
Speaker 2: Okay, you know that's sort of coming, but the way

664
00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:32,160
Speaker 2: he's able to get to the rim and finish, I

665
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 2: just haven't seen that as much in the playoffs at all.

666
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:40,840
Speaker 3: So yes, the evolution of that guy very cool.

667
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 1: According to ESPN research, the Thunder became the fourth defending

668
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:47,400
Speaker 1: champion to begin the playoffs with at least eight consecutive

669
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:51,320
Speaker 1: wins here, and the first since Lebron's Calves in twenty

670
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:55,200
Speaker 1: seventeen to do it. Yeah, I thought that was fitting.

671
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 1: So okay, see no right now, average margin of ten

672
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:02,480
Speaker 1: point six point, that's right, So they're cooking and like

673
00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:04,880
Speaker 1: the Knicks on the Eastern Conference side here are going

674
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:06,720
Speaker 1: to have a bit of a break as they wait

675
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:10,560
Speaker 1: for the other semifinal series to wrap up between in

676
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 1: their case, Minnesota and Santonio, which sure feels like it's

677
00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:16,239
Speaker 1: going seven. Yeah, it's could be another week for these

678
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:16,720
Speaker 1: two teams.

679
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:17,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I thought it would be.

680
00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:21,520
Speaker 2: I thought it would be a tougher maybe match or

681
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:26,080
Speaker 2: all these series would be a tougher playoff run for Okay. See,

682
00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:29,240
Speaker 2: maybe it's just maybe an optimistic that we're going to

683
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 2: see some fight for other teams, but obviously it's not

684
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:34,960
Speaker 2: not the case here. Nuggets took them to seven games

685
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:37,320
Speaker 2: in the second round while the Lakers tried here, So

686
00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:39,920
Speaker 2: they're gonna be waiting. Yeah, they got plenty of time off.

687
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 1: So J. J. Mitchell got a tent again.

688
00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:47,120
Speaker 2: He's gonna get more tanned. He's gonna go all the

689
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:50,360
Speaker 2: way to Belgium. I don't know how this it's probably

690
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:52,200
Speaker 2: not warm enough. You're not going to Belgium. No, probably not.

691
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:55,520
Speaker 1: There's a distinct possibility that was the last time we'll

692
00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:59,280
Speaker 1: see Lebron either A play an NBA game or B

693
00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:02,840
Speaker 1: play for the Lakers again. He is a He is

694
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:05,400
Speaker 1: a free agent, which is a little strange, right, Lebron

695
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:08,560
Speaker 1: a free agent. So is Ruy, So's Canards, So's Hayes,

696
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:12,920
Speaker 1: So's Maxic Kleiba. Decisions to be made with Austin Reeves

697
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:15,000
Speaker 1: and all that too. What do you think of the

698
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:16,480
Speaker 1: Lebron of it all? You know, he's asked about it,

699
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:19,000
Speaker 1: he did his classic Lebron. I don't know what the

700
00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:21,479
Speaker 1: future holds for me, going to talk to the family,

701
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:24,760
Speaker 1: assess everything. We've heard this song and danced a couple

702
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:26,480
Speaker 1: times before. Because the guy's forty one years old and

703
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:30,120
Speaker 1: he's played over nineteen hundred actual basketball games. Would you

704
00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:33,719
Speaker 1: consider the regular season in the playoffs? What's your gut say, though,

705
00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:35,840
Speaker 1: is that the last time Lakers Lebron?

706
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:39,480
Speaker 4: My gut says, yeah, last time Lakers Lebron. But I

707
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:41,720
Speaker 4: would have said there's no chance he's coming back to

708
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,560
Speaker 4: LA up through March. But then he played so well

709
00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 4: at the end of the season and was great for

710
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:49,760
Speaker 4: the Lakers during Round one and probably was still their

711
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:52,239
Speaker 4: best player in Round two. You know, Reeves did get

712
00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:55,200
Speaker 4: it going from a scoring perspective in the last couple

713
00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:58,560
Speaker 4: of games there in Los Angeles. But there are places

714
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:01,200
Speaker 4: Lebron can go if he wants to take a pay cut,

715
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:03,760
Speaker 4: and you know he's this far into his career, he

716
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 4: probably will take a pay cut. Everybody says the number

717
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:08,320
Speaker 4: one thing for him is trying to win a championship,

718
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:11,280
Speaker 4: and there are teams that make sense that he could

719
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:13,800
Speaker 4: join where they would at least be in championship contention.

720
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 4: The Lakers, they're not really close to winning a championship,

721
00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:20,480
Speaker 4: and I think from their standpoint, it probably makes more

722
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:23,680
Speaker 4: sense to start, like really building a team around Luka

723
00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:26,400
Speaker 4: Doncic and Lebron's contract coming off the books is helpful

724
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:28,240
Speaker 4: there because they need a lot of improvement if they're

725
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:31,760
Speaker 4: going to get anything resembling the MAVs team that Luca

726
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:35,320
Speaker 4: took to the NBA Finals once upon a time. But

727
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 4: like there's rumors of Lebron going to the Warriors, the Knicks,

728
00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:40,840
Speaker 4: the Cavs, like these are teams where you're still going

729
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:43,560
Speaker 4: to be in the mix for a championship and they're

730
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:44,000
Speaker 4: not LA.

731
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:48,120
Speaker 2: It's up to Rock Polanka to me if they are

732
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:52,640
Speaker 2: going to put together a roster made for Luka Doncic

733
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:55,440
Speaker 2: or not, because they'd have lots of money.

734
00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:58,160
Speaker 3: Coming off the books. This coming summer.

735
00:32:58,320 --> 00:32:59,800
Speaker 2: So if Lebron wants to take a pay cut and

736
00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:03,160
Speaker 2: say in La, he can is it a Hey, I'm

737
00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:05,360
Speaker 2: an old man and I like my routine thing where

738
00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:07,680
Speaker 2: I my body is perfect here as a forty one

739
00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:09,240
Speaker 2: year old, and you don't want to do it somewhere else.

740
00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:13,800
Speaker 2: Maybe there's just not an appealing situation. The Cleveland thing,

741
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:16,600
Speaker 2: I don't know, doesn't appeal it does It doesn't seem

742
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:18,040
Speaker 2: like it would appeal to Lebron at this point. But

743
00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 2: if there's another scenario, sure, but I understand if it

744
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:23,880
Speaker 2: is Rob Blanca saying, hey, we need you know, the

745
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:28,400
Speaker 2: perfect guys like the Derek Jones junior Chris Daniel Gafford

746
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:32,040
Speaker 2: sort of situation, I get that. I guess he may

747
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:34,720
Speaker 2: move there, but it would be weird to see Lebron

748
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:36,760
Speaker 2: take a huge breakup. But he could do it and

749
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:38,080
Speaker 2: stay in La if he wants.

750
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:42,040
Speaker 1: Luca missed the final fifteen games of this season after

751
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:45,080
Speaker 1: the Grade two hamstring strain in early April, and apparently

752
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:47,920
Speaker 1: he wasn't even close to returning from this injury, which

753
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:51,640
Speaker 1: often takes like two months of recovery, so you know,

754
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:54,480
Speaker 1: he wasn't even maybe basically a month and a bit through,

755
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:57,800
Speaker 1: So yeah, he was never coming back unless maybe they

756
00:33:57,840 --> 00:33:59,800
Speaker 1: were going to like the finals. But I'm sort of

757
00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:03,200
Speaker 1: I guess I'm with you TK. I think I've been

758
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:05,840
Speaker 1: saying that this is it for Lebron, that he's not

759
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:09,160
Speaker 1: going to actually return. Now everybody's like, come on, come on, man,

760
00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:11,439
Speaker 1: it's Lebron James. You don't think he wants the Swan song.

761
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:16,520
Speaker 1: I get that, but if that's incorrect, I do think

762
00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:18,000
Speaker 1: it's done with the Lakers here, and I think it's

763
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:21,560
Speaker 1: sort of best maybe for both parties. Like Lebron couldn't

764
00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:24,719
Speaker 1: theory pick wherever he really wants to go if he

765
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:27,799
Speaker 1: takes the super pick up, like he could so join

766
00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:30,160
Speaker 1: said team to really help his chances win title. And

767
00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:32,120
Speaker 1: then for the Lakers, I think they should get serious

768
00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:35,239
Speaker 1: about like building around a healthy Luca and whether that

769
00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:38,680
Speaker 1: involves Austin Reeves. I mean, it sounds like Luca wants

770
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:41,759
Speaker 1: Reeves there. He's obviously an explosive offensive player. There are

771
00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:44,120
Speaker 1: some defensive limitations, but can you cover up for them

772
00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:46,360
Speaker 1: in the rest of the personnel. Yeah, and you know

773
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:48,520
Speaker 1: you got to get him like a rim running big

774
00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:50,520
Speaker 1: of some sort. You gotta go try and find that.

775
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:55,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, so if this is about I can see why

776
00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:58,239
Speaker 2: Luca would want to go a different direction. That's that's

777
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:01,480
Speaker 2: totally understandable. There was one time when Luca put his

778
00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:03,920
Speaker 2: head down on the bench in Game four, and that's

779
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:06,200
Speaker 2: when Lebron didn't get out to lou Dort who hit

780
00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:09,120
Speaker 2: a wide open three. Am I speculating as too, if

781
00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:11,719
Speaker 2: he likes Lebron or not. I mean, that's just the

782
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:15,320
Speaker 2: team that Luca knows he can win with. It's just

783
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:20,239
Speaker 2: defensive weapons, and Lebron is not that at this point

784
00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:20,640
Speaker 2: of his career.

785
00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:21,160
Speaker 3: We all know that.

786
00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:24,080
Speaker 2: So I can understand if you want to please Luca,

787
00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:27,200
Speaker 2: you build around Luca and the team that he can

788
00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:27,520
Speaker 2: win with.

789
00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:28,239
Speaker 3: I understand that.

790
00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:32,520
Speaker 1: Any random notes from the game four thunder victory.

791
00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:37,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, some good court side attendees here in Los Angeles,

792
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:40,759
Speaker 4: Sean Penn and Leonardo DiCaprio sitting courtside like they're on

793
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:44,319
Speaker 4: a press tour for one battle after another. You've heard

794
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:47,640
Speaker 4: a lot of talk recently about the Lakers their celebrity road.

795
00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:49,080
Speaker 4: They've lost it to the Knicks.

796
00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:50,719
Speaker 1: This is quite the clapback.

797
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:53,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, I thought from LA they pulled in two of

798
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:54,640
Speaker 4: the biggest actors out there.

799
00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:57,719
Speaker 1: And Dylan Brooks was there too. Incredible yep, and he

800
00:35:57,840 --> 00:35:59,640
Speaker 1: was there to troll. He was there to troll to

801
00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:03,200
Speaker 1: hate watch Lebron and great camera work by the broadcast

802
00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:05,520
Speaker 1: when Ron was at the line the one time Now

803
00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:08,719
Speaker 1: started on Funny Smiley Dillon there with this iced out

804
00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:11,600
Speaker 1: change and it pulled back to reveal Lebron I got

805
00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:14,320
Speaker 1: swept too. Yeah, people were wondering, do you think he

806
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:17,359
Speaker 1: switched ends uh and sat on the other baseline when

807
00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:19,719
Speaker 1: the Lakers were shooting on the other hoop, just to

808
00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:22,080
Speaker 1: really be able to stick it to Lebron and smirk

809
00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:22,440
Speaker 1: at him.

810
00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:25,720
Speaker 2: Eddie Murphy was there too, right, I think Eddie Murphy

811
00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:29,520
Speaker 2: was there. I believe I have mistake. Yeah, I think so.

812
00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:30,239
Speaker 1: I think he was.

813
00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:33,400
Speaker 3: I think they showed him back a quick one. I

814
00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:34,239
Speaker 3: wanted to note.

815
00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:39,080
Speaker 2: Luka Doncic had a ball in his lap until six

816
00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:42,800
Speaker 2: minutes left in the first quarter and a Laker's employee

817
00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:45,719
Speaker 2: came over. You catch him on camera saying, Hey, give

818
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:46,080
Speaker 2: me the ball.

819
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:48,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, don't have the ball on then it's amazing we're

820
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:51,000
Speaker 1: just talking about that. The first thing I thought him

821
00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:52,799
Speaker 1: was like, oh, Luca's really holding out of that ball

822
00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:54,359
Speaker 1: on the sideline and he's listening to the show.

823
00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:54,680
Speaker 3: Yeah.

824
00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:58,000
Speaker 2: Game three, it was during the first time out someone

825
00:36:58,080 --> 00:36:59,919
Speaker 2: got the ball out of his hands. But this timing

826
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:01,719
Speaker 2: Game four, he got to hold it just a little

827
00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:04,239
Speaker 2: bit longer after the first time out when somebody had

828
00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:06,319
Speaker 2: to come over and say, hey, you can't have it there,

829
00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:11,680
Speaker 2: he ain't gotta drop it. But still, those are the rules.

830
00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:14,640
Speaker 2: I felt like it was Mike Finley grabbing the beer

831
00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:15,239
Speaker 2: from his hand.

832
00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:18,200
Speaker 1: Give me that, give me that, give me that, anything else.

833
00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:22,520
Speaker 3: This is way in the weeds. This is this is deep.

834
00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:26,120
Speaker 2: But the knee pads guys wear out there. I've been

835
00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:29,719
Speaker 2: watching Caruso. Okay, you'd understand the guy wears knee pads.

836
00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:32,600
Speaker 2: Isaiah Hartenstein. I think he has one knee pad, and

837
00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:34,920
Speaker 2: I think he wears it. It's it's a custom. It's

838
00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:37,200
Speaker 2: like on the side of his right knee, it's not

839
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:39,040
Speaker 2: like on the front. But he doesn't even have one

840
00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:41,640
Speaker 2: on his left. It's just I'm just need watching. That's

841
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:46,640
Speaker 2: what happens when you watch so many games, and those again, custom,

842
00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:48,759
Speaker 2: I think. But some guys don't have a custom at all,

843
00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:52,000
Speaker 2: like Victor wamgyamad. That just looks like it's sewn into

844
00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:57,200
Speaker 2: those like sleeves. Who's the other guy, sar Thompson. Yeah,

845
00:37:57,840 --> 00:37:59,640
Speaker 2: just looks like it's part of the sleeves. Just wanted

846
00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:04,520
Speaker 2: everybody you didn't know you watching. Watch a lot of games.

847
00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:08,799
Speaker 4: There's a lot of downtime between just look at their knees.

848
00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:13,000
Speaker 4: Take notes on about a new thing in hockey last night.

849
00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:15,839
Speaker 4: There's a penalty apparently for something called butt ending.

850
00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:17,799
Speaker 2: Oh you just hit somebody with the.

851
00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:21,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I got a four minute.

852
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:23,560
Speaker 4: Double minor for attempted butt ending.

853
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:25,400
Speaker 1: You didn't even connect.

854
00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:27,960
Speaker 4: They couldn't determine if contact.

855
00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:28,200
Speaker 1: Was made or not.

856
00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:29,600
Speaker 3: That's a good call.

857
00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:33,560
Speaker 2: I like how that's penalized because guys are really good

858
00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:36,239
Speaker 2: with their sticks and you're just like, they bang a guy.

859
00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:40,560
Speaker 2: That's that's surprising. Never happened before in the in the

860
00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:41,640
Speaker 2: NHL until this year.

861
00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:42,840
Speaker 3: You don't ask me.

862
00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:49,640
Speaker 4: What was I must have been watching the Minnesota Wild. Okay,

863
00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:54,960
Speaker 4: they were playing the Colorado Appalanche as one.

864
00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:59,319
Speaker 1: Nothing survives on Avalanche. They're tough. Cannon and the car

865
00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:00,680
Speaker 1: Come on those two together.

866
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:03,759
Speaker 2: McKinnon and mccarr good names, all.

867
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:06,760
Speaker 1: Right, those are the games from last night. One series

868
00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:09,960
Speaker 1: obviously going six at the very least there between Detroit

869
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:14,440
Speaker 1: and Cleveland and the thunder stay undefeated eight. No here

870
00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:15,680
Speaker 1: in the postseason.

871
00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:18,279
Speaker 2: Oh man, you gotta get him from the beginning. You

872
00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:20,080
Speaker 2: gotta get him from the beginning of the series. You

873
00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:24,200
Speaker 2: can't just wait. And it's one game one around two. Anyway, whatever,

874
00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:26,759
Speaker 2: Lakers show was a good show. That third quarter was good.

875
00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:31,440
Speaker 1: Look, they put up a fight, was awesome. Crowd was hyped. Yeah,

876
00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:34,200
Speaker 1: even Sean Penn and Leo were hyped. Man, that's true.

877
00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:37,800
Speaker 4: They were into Sean Pennlok's fried Man. Okay, looks like

878
00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:39,600
Speaker 4: he stuck his finger into an electric.

879
00:39:41,760 --> 00:39:46,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's very Bob Ross as Jimmy Goldstein also there

880
00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:49,440
Speaker 2: because he's always I can't believe. Okay, go on, yeah,

881
00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:50,080
Speaker 2: he's always there.

Speaker 1: team play along podcast listener, especially on Spotify. Comment Away

910
00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:14,560
Speaker 1: first one webin Yama avoids suspension for nas red Elbow

911
00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:18,359
Speaker 1: will play game five, so we were right on our

912
00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:20,919
Speaker 1: prediction that the league would not suspend him no fine

913
00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:24,440
Speaker 1: either they felt, you know, I guess the punishment was enough.

914
00:41:24,520 --> 00:41:28,640
Speaker 1: Missing a majority of Game four, come on back for

915
00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:31,360
Speaker 1: Game five in a now best of three series, and

916
00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:32,440
Speaker 1: your thoughts is this news?

917
00:41:32,680 --> 00:41:35,400
Speaker 3: This is fantastic news for everybody involved.

918
00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:38,680
Speaker 2: And I think it's the right decision from the NBA

919
00:41:38,719 --> 00:41:42,720
Speaker 2: because this is Victor Romannama's first time he's been ejected

920
00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:45,160
Speaker 2: from a game in his career, so he doesn't have

921
00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:51,560
Speaker 2: a reputation. Yes, so everybody's saying, mostly from the Minnesota side,

922
00:41:51,560 --> 00:41:53,279
Speaker 2: but a lot of people saying, I mean that was

923
00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:55,920
Speaker 2: an elbow and comparing it to a bunch of other elbows.

924
00:41:57,160 --> 00:41:58,600
Speaker 2: I think it is different when you don't have a

925
00:41:58,640 --> 00:42:01,839
Speaker 2: reputation at all. He missed plenty of the game, they

926
00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:03,960
Speaker 2: lose the game. I think that's a part of it

927
00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:06,719
Speaker 2: as well. Maybe a tiny part of it is that

928
00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:08,480
Speaker 2: hit him in the neck, not in the face. He

929
00:42:08,600 --> 00:42:09,160
Speaker 2: wasn't injured.

930
00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:11,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, him not being injured is a part of it.

931
00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:13,680
Speaker 1: Whether you like that or not, I do think it is.

932
00:42:13,840 --> 00:42:15,480
Speaker 1: And even the Wolves, like from what I can tell,

933
00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:18,520
Speaker 1: like nasried and players and coaches, they're not like, you know,

934
00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:20,440
Speaker 1: no Reed's not showing up in the neck brace at

935
00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:22,440
Speaker 1: the postgame press conference trying to sell it right like

936
00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:25,000
Speaker 1: they're like, yeah, I don't think they were calling for

937
00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:27,920
Speaker 1: a suspension, Like all right, he got tossed, rightfully, so

938
00:42:28,120 --> 00:42:28,640
Speaker 1: flagrant too.

939
00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:30,040
Speaker 3: They want to play come on back.

940
00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:32,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I think they're getting this right here, even

941
00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:34,760
Speaker 1: though of course some people are like, well, what about

942
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:36,120
Speaker 1: this one, and what about this one.

943
00:42:36,080 --> 00:42:38,440
Speaker 2: And what about this one? But yeah, you can what

944
00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:41,840
Speaker 2: about this one's all day? Rashaun Holmes, he had a

945
00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:43,600
Speaker 2: big elbow someone's head.

946
00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:48,080
Speaker 1: No suspension, Oh wow, wow, that's on whiteside though.

947
00:42:49,719 --> 00:42:51,960
Speaker 4: There are a lot of suspensions. Yeah for us, Yeah, yeah,

948
00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:54,600
Speaker 4: there near what about him? And most of the other

949
00:42:54,680 --> 00:42:57,560
Speaker 4: ones are for suspensions. But uh, I would have to

950
00:42:57,640 --> 00:42:59,080
Speaker 4: quit bo with one thing. This is not good news

951
00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:01,440
Speaker 4: for everybody involved, because the timber Wolves that are involved,

952
00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:03,919
Speaker 4: and this is bad news for them. San Antonio plus

953
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:06,400
Speaker 4: thirty two in all the minutes that Wenby's played, only

954
00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:09,200
Speaker 4: plus six with Wemby. Sure, so this is a better

955
00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:10,520
Speaker 4: news for the Spurs, I would say.

956
00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:12,960
Speaker 1: So I will add to this game going in. At

957
00:43:13,040 --> 00:43:16,279
Speaker 1: least at last I saw Darren Fox is questionable. Yeah,

958
00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:19,880
Speaker 1: for tonight's Game five, a pivotal Game five? Does he

959
00:43:19,960 --> 00:43:21,959
Speaker 1: know it's pivotal because he's got this ankle injury?

960
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:22,640
Speaker 4: So I don't know.

961
00:43:22,840 --> 00:43:26,080
Speaker 2: Oh, I love the NBA official page. Yeah, oh yeah,

962
00:43:26,080 --> 00:43:29,759
Speaker 2: you're always ten forty five is the latest report. It's

963
00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:32,200
Speaker 2: ten to fifty nine Eastern, as I reported, So there's

964
00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:33,440
Speaker 2: going to be another one in a minute.

965
00:43:34,520 --> 00:43:38,279
Speaker 3: We've got nothing. Oh he's not there, Oh, Darren Fox

966
00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:39,839
Speaker 3: are questionable. My bad, my bad, my bad?

967
00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:43,440
Speaker 2: Right, ankle soreness and they always throw injury slash illness

968
00:43:43,520 --> 00:43:45,000
Speaker 2: on there just in case he gets sick.

969
00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:48,399
Speaker 1: So you're telling me in one minute that is going

970
00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:49,680
Speaker 1: to in theory refresh.

971
00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:52,080
Speaker 2: Oh it will say at eleven am, and it'll say

972
00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:54,399
Speaker 2: the exact same thing, most likely because it hasn't changed.

973
00:43:54,440 --> 00:43:56,759
Speaker 3: But yeah, every fifteen minutes transparency.

974
00:43:56,880 --> 00:43:58,880
Speaker 1: But hold on, we should like now wait until eleven

975
00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:02,040
Speaker 1: because you could have breaking news. If it's not there,

976
00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:05,280
Speaker 1: then you get to break the news. He's a go refreshing.

977
00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:07,640
Speaker 2: H Yeah, I've got I've got It's eleven eleven on

978
00:44:07,760 --> 00:44:11,400
Speaker 2: my Apple Mac. But nothing happening here as far as

979
00:44:11,440 --> 00:44:14,640
Speaker 2: a new report coming. What up with that ten forty

980
00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:15,879
Speaker 2: five Eastern? Still the last one.

981
00:44:16,520 --> 00:44:18,480
Speaker 1: Wow, come on, Sam, they lied to us.

982
00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:20,479
Speaker 2: We're working on the same clocks. We know you're working

983
00:44:20,560 --> 00:44:23,280
Speaker 2: on Apple Max at the NBA League office.

984
00:44:23,600 --> 00:44:27,960
Speaker 3: You're not on PC. Yeah, yeah, still waiting.

985
00:44:28,120 --> 00:44:32,560
Speaker 1: Still, Wow, this guy's refreshing. Where are you? Button's gonna break?

986
00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:33,239
Speaker 1: Where are you?

987
00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:33,560
Speaker 4: Okay?

988
00:44:33,600 --> 00:44:38,440
Speaker 1: Okay, as long as anything else on Wenby? No, I'm excited.

989
00:44:38,560 --> 00:44:42,080
Speaker 2: Hey listen, plus you said plus six with him sitting,

990
00:44:42,360 --> 00:44:44,840
Speaker 2: it's pretty good. At least they're winning those minutes.

991
00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:46,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely.

992
00:44:46,080 --> 00:44:48,920
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm sure it's the blowout was probably why

993
00:44:49,040 --> 00:44:53,279
Speaker 4: but still still and they played well without Wenby went

994
00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:54,760
Speaker 4: out with the people's elbow.

995
00:44:55,560 --> 00:44:58,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, next headline here, still not that task

996
00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:01,960
Speaker 1: keeps refreshing on the it's going to status.

997
00:45:02,080 --> 00:45:02,600
Speaker 3: What's going on?

998
00:45:03,280 --> 00:45:08,480
Speaker 1: Bucks seeking trade offers for Jannis Antetokopo. This is from

999
00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:12,680
Speaker 1: Sham's TK. Is this news?

1000
00:45:13,120 --> 00:45:14,640
Speaker 3: No, no, no, it's not.

1001
00:45:16,160 --> 00:45:16,719
Speaker 1: It's not new.

1002
00:45:16,920 --> 00:45:17,040
Speaker 2: Oh.

1003
00:45:17,239 --> 00:45:18,839
Speaker 4: They've been trying to trade this guy for a year.

1004
00:45:19,400 --> 00:45:22,399
Speaker 4: Willie won't he won't, he will he I'm in, I'm gone,

1005
00:45:22,440 --> 00:45:23,479
Speaker 4: I'm staying, I'm leaving.

1006
00:45:23,520 --> 00:45:24,200
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter.

1007
00:45:24,320 --> 00:45:26,759
Speaker 4: The silver lining is that Jimmy Haslam's a good man.

1008
00:45:27,080 --> 00:45:28,880
Speaker 4: I don't think that's actually true. I think he's a

1009
00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:30,480
Speaker 4: bad man. But he told us we're going to have

1010
00:45:30,560 --> 00:45:34,080
Speaker 4: this sorted out by the draft, and that's only a

1011
00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:36,760
Speaker 4: month away. I thought this was going to last until October,

1012
00:45:36,960 --> 00:45:39,239
Speaker 4: and I'd be very very happy if it's done in

1013
00:45:39,320 --> 00:45:39,960
Speaker 4: the middle of June.

1014
00:45:40,040 --> 00:45:42,759
Speaker 1: Be awesome. Yeah, that'd be so good. Yeah. Sham's in

1015
00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:44,800
Speaker 1: the article said, quote, there is expected to be a

1016
00:45:44,920 --> 00:45:48,360
Speaker 1: robust market for Jannis's services and ownership. In front office

1017
00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:51,960
Speaker 1: officials expect to maintain their trade deadline asking price of

1018
00:45:52,080 --> 00:45:55,279
Speaker 1: a young blue chip talent and or a surplus of

1019
00:45:55,400 --> 00:45:57,520
Speaker 1: draft picks. We'll end quote there.

1020
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:02,400
Speaker 2: The difference between now in the last ten months is

1021
00:46:02,520 --> 00:46:06,000
Speaker 2: that this is when teams can offer the most. Teams

1022
00:46:06,040 --> 00:46:08,319
Speaker 2: are ready to make trades right now in.

1023
00:46:08,520 --> 00:46:09,359
Speaker 1: Fresh draft picks.

1024
00:46:09,520 --> 00:46:11,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then you know the draft picks, a lot

1025
00:46:11,719 --> 00:46:15,440
Speaker 2: of them have failed and haven't advanced in the playoffs,

1026
00:46:15,520 --> 00:46:16,200
Speaker 2: So there's.

1027
00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:18,560
Speaker 3: That desire can we get better. There's the one.

1028
00:46:18,480 --> 00:46:21,799
Speaker 2: Superstar that can be traded right now. His name is Nstembo.

1029
00:46:22,120 --> 00:46:23,320
Speaker 2: So I think there's going to be a bunch of

1030
00:46:23,320 --> 00:46:26,600
Speaker 2: offers on Thursday, when we don't have any games in

1031
00:46:26,680 --> 00:46:29,800
Speaker 2: the NBA. On Friday Show, we should come out with

1032
00:46:30,320 --> 00:46:35,000
Speaker 2: some packages, baby, because I don't know exactly where Gas

1033
00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:36,200
Speaker 2: wants to go, and I think that's a big part

1034
00:46:36,239 --> 00:46:36,360
Speaker 2: of it.

1035
00:46:37,200 --> 00:46:39,920
Speaker 1: That's a huge part of it. His preferred destination to

1036
00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:41,520
Speaker 1: sign said extension, which.

1037
00:46:41,560 --> 00:46:43,960
Speaker 3: Has been the Knicks. But it can't be the Knicks

1038
00:46:44,880 --> 00:46:45,319
Speaker 3: this week.

1039
00:46:46,360 --> 00:46:49,480
Speaker 2: I mean, it can't be the Knicks until they're essentially

1040
00:46:49,520 --> 00:46:52,920
Speaker 2: eliminated if they get eliminated the conference finals. Okay, but

1041
00:46:53,239 --> 00:46:55,960
Speaker 2: we've had this debate before whether or not James Dolan

1042
00:46:56,000 --> 00:46:58,800
Speaker 2: saying we got to make the NBA Finals this season

1043
00:46:58,920 --> 00:47:01,359
Speaker 2: means if they make the final, that they just stick

1044
00:47:01,440 --> 00:47:03,799
Speaker 2: with it and try it again, or that means tear

1045
00:47:03,840 --> 00:47:07,479
Speaker 2: this thing down. If the conference final tear down, no doubt.

1046
00:47:07,680 --> 00:47:10,560
Speaker 2: But you know, I started looking at everything that's available

1047
00:47:10,640 --> 00:47:13,000
Speaker 2: for offer right now, and we can get to on Friday.

1048
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:17,399
Speaker 2: It's like the Miami one sort of makes sense. They

1049
00:47:17,480 --> 00:47:20,040
Speaker 2: cannot give them three picks. They can give them Tyler

1050
00:47:20,080 --> 00:47:22,279
Speaker 2: Hero who can go back to Milwaukee. But Yannis may

1051
00:47:22,360 --> 00:47:23,440
Speaker 2: not want to go there right.

1052
00:47:23,520 --> 00:47:24,960
Speaker 3: I may now. We may not want to go there

1053
00:47:25,040 --> 00:47:26,440
Speaker 3: without a lead ball.

1054
00:47:26,360 --> 00:47:29,040
Speaker 2: Handler, which we saw was a big problem in Milwaukee.

1055
00:47:29,800 --> 00:47:32,680
Speaker 2: He would love to play with Bam. I love to

1056
00:47:32,680 --> 00:47:35,200
Speaker 2: play with Bama, but the other parts have to play

1057
00:47:35,239 --> 00:47:39,439
Speaker 2: in here. So there's many teams I think that will

1058
00:47:39,480 --> 00:47:40,560
Speaker 2: make plenty of offers.

1059
00:47:41,320 --> 00:47:43,240
Speaker 1: Just like in theory. They were at the trade deadline

1060
00:47:43,640 --> 00:47:46,279
Speaker 1: in Milwaukee, standing pat at the trade deadline.

1061
00:47:45,960 --> 00:47:48,520
Speaker 2: But not as good, not as good till now like

1062
00:47:48,600 --> 00:47:51,000
Speaker 2: Miami and just got a new first round pick they

1063
00:47:51,040 --> 00:47:51,480
Speaker 2: can offer.

1064
00:47:51,760 --> 00:47:52,560
Speaker 4: So oh.

1065
00:47:52,640 --> 00:47:54,560
Speaker 1: The one thing in this article that pissed me off

1066
00:47:54,600 --> 00:47:57,320
Speaker 1: though from Champs is it was later in the article,

1067
00:47:57,400 --> 00:47:59,520
Speaker 1: after all the you know, trade talk and they're open

1068
00:47:59,600 --> 00:48:02,560
Speaker 1: and they're exploring and they're talking about it, it said quote.

1069
00:48:03,160 --> 00:48:06,120
Speaker 1: The Bucks are also leaving the door open to pursue

1070
00:48:06,160 --> 00:48:09,040
Speaker 1: a major trade to persuade Jannis to stay once again,

1071
00:48:09,760 --> 00:48:12,840
Speaker 1: allowing Horse to work parallel paths. They will have the

1072
00:48:12,920 --> 00:48:15,640
Speaker 1: tenth overall pick in the draft, two other future first rounders,

1073
00:48:15,800 --> 00:48:18,239
Speaker 1: and tradable contracts such as those of Bobby Portis and

1074
00:48:18,320 --> 00:48:21,479
Speaker 1: Kyle Kuzma to offer in deals this offseason. And I said,

1075
00:48:21,520 --> 00:48:23,800
Speaker 1: holy shit. Task Melist called Shaun's and told him to

1076
00:48:23,840 --> 00:48:29,160
Speaker 1: put that in there. Come on, come on doing this again. No,

1077
00:48:29,320 --> 00:48:30,160
Speaker 1: he's he's gone.

1078
00:48:31,040 --> 00:48:35,160
Speaker 2: He is going, probably, but he can make the most

1079
00:48:35,239 --> 00:48:38,920
Speaker 2: money by signing here with Cleveland, excuse me, with Milwaukee

1080
00:48:39,040 --> 00:48:43,879
Speaker 2: on October first, and then get traded at a different time.

1081
00:48:44,080 --> 00:48:46,040
Speaker 2: I mean, I do feel like at the beginning of

1082
00:48:46,080 --> 00:48:47,919
Speaker 2: the season when all the rumors came in, I said,

1083
00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:52,000
Speaker 2: he's going to abide by his word, and he said

1084
00:48:52,040 --> 00:48:53,480
Speaker 2: he was going to try as hard as he could

1085
00:48:53,600 --> 00:48:55,960
Speaker 2: this season and that would be it. So yeah, I

1086
00:48:56,040 --> 00:48:58,040
Speaker 2: feel like this could be the time. But he could

1087
00:48:58,080 --> 00:49:01,640
Speaker 2: also be super smart, say sign, sign, sign, trade me

1088
00:49:01,960 --> 00:49:06,960
Speaker 2: now if he wants to, and yeah, we shall.

1089
00:49:06,760 --> 00:49:12,280
Speaker 4: See anything else TK sign sign, sign, trade me. Unfortunately,

1090
00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:14,480
Speaker 4: you make a good point. He would make a lot

1091
00:49:14,560 --> 00:49:18,160
Speaker 4: more money if he just sticks around until October, signs

1092
00:49:18,200 --> 00:49:20,080
Speaker 4: the deal and then forces a trade, which we have

1093
00:49:20,200 --> 00:49:22,320
Speaker 4: seen so many guys do, including a guy that he

1094
00:49:22,400 --> 00:49:24,840
Speaker 4: was a teammate with in Damian Lillard. That is a

1095
00:49:24,960 --> 00:49:27,479
Speaker 4: tried and true playbook in the NBA to get more money.

1096
00:49:29,160 --> 00:49:31,080
Speaker 1: So unfortunately, it's reasonable.

1097
00:49:32,920 --> 00:49:35,920
Speaker 4: As possible, which would make it last until October again,

1098
00:49:36,080 --> 00:49:38,279
Speaker 4: and then would make it last until the trade deadline again.

1099
00:49:38,320 --> 00:49:40,719
Speaker 4: When we're saying has another report is this news? The

1100
00:49:40,760 --> 00:49:43,200
Speaker 4: Bucks are looking at trade packages for you? Honest, on

1101
00:49:43,280 --> 00:49:43,880
Speaker 4: such a cool.

1102
00:49:43,840 --> 00:49:47,080
Speaker 1: Extent, the extension wouldn't be the same if he's traded.

1103
00:49:47,360 --> 00:49:49,360
Speaker 1: It would just be six months after the trade, is

1104
00:49:49,400 --> 00:49:52,080
Speaker 1: it not when the money remained the same four years,

1105
00:49:52,120 --> 00:49:54,600
Speaker 1: two hundred and seventy five million or whatever the contract

1106
00:49:54,640 --> 00:49:55,360
Speaker 1: extension would be.

1107
00:49:56,080 --> 00:50:00,320
Speaker 4: Does he not get benefits for staying in Milwaukee and

1108
00:50:00,360 --> 00:50:03,160
Speaker 4: that kind of stuff. I don't remember what qualifying for.

1109
00:50:03,400 --> 00:50:06,200
Speaker 1: But yeah, oh god, I can't wait for this all summer.

1110
00:50:06,560 --> 00:50:08,680
Speaker 1: But you're right, TASSA Friday would be a nice time

1111
00:50:08,760 --> 00:50:12,239
Speaker 1: to come with your honest trade offers. Oh yeah, for

1112
00:50:12,360 --> 00:50:16,239
Speaker 1: the tenth time here on the show. They're basically going

1113
00:50:16,320 --> 00:50:18,440
Speaker 1: to be all the same things they were before, except

1114
00:50:18,480 --> 00:50:20,319
Speaker 1: probably more draft capitals some sort.

1115
00:50:20,560 --> 00:50:24,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I doubt ye wants to do what that idea

1116
00:50:24,640 --> 00:50:27,680
Speaker 2: that trade just said, sign the contract and then go

1117
00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:32,520
Speaker 2: play games again, you know, for Milwaukee and then say

1118
00:50:32,600 --> 00:50:33,880
Speaker 2: I'm out of here after.

1119
00:50:36,080 --> 00:50:39,839
Speaker 1: Just making it sound like I mean, I say they

1120
00:50:39,920 --> 00:50:42,279
Speaker 1: as in Buck's ownership and making it sound like we

1121
00:50:42,360 --> 00:50:43,880
Speaker 1: want this done before the drafts.

1122
00:50:43,880 --> 00:50:46,799
Speaker 3: What they're saying, yeah, yeah, to decide one way actually to.

1123
00:50:46,840 --> 00:50:50,120
Speaker 1: Get those picks, to get our future potential stars in draft.

1124
00:50:49,960 --> 00:50:52,040
Speaker 2: Picks if they trade. But but they also left the

1125
00:50:52,200 --> 00:50:55,080
Speaker 2: door open of him wanting to resign, Yes, of course.

1126
00:50:55,200 --> 00:50:57,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, just coing covering their ass there, I guess.

1127
00:50:57,800 --> 00:51:00,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, we'll get to it on Friday. The question is,

1128
00:51:00,800 --> 00:51:04,880
Speaker 2: did he he hurt his trade value by getting injured

1129
00:51:05,440 --> 00:51:06,280
Speaker 2: more this season?

1130
00:51:06,440 --> 00:51:11,040
Speaker 3: Maybe maybe not. He's getting older and help it.

1131
00:51:11,360 --> 00:51:12,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it got to the point it got

1132
00:51:12,800 --> 00:51:14,759
Speaker 1: so contentious that he's like, I want to keep playing,

1133
00:51:14,800 --> 00:51:16,919
Speaker 1: and they're like, no, don't play, man, what are you doing?

1134
00:51:17,680 --> 00:51:19,880
Speaker 1: You could hurt yourself even more, and then we're pooched

1135
00:51:19,920 --> 00:51:20,359
Speaker 1: even more.

1136
00:51:21,000 --> 00:51:21,040
Speaker 2: So.

1137
00:51:21,880 --> 00:51:24,359
Speaker 1: I mean that was a thing. He was basically calling

1138
00:51:24,400 --> 00:51:28,560
Speaker 1: for an investigation into his own team because they wouldn't

1139
00:51:28,600 --> 00:51:32,000
Speaker 1: let him play, let him do something weird. Yeah, that

1140
00:51:32,360 --> 00:51:32,759
Speaker 1: did happen.

1141
00:51:33,120 --> 00:51:33,480
Speaker 4: I like.

1142
00:51:35,920 --> 00:51:39,799
Speaker 2: Fresh report from NBA official, let's go. It came through,

1143
00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:44,400
Speaker 2: came through late, but Daron Fox still question, just so

1144
00:51:44,440 --> 00:51:47,759
Speaker 2: everybody knows. Ebody waited. We waited, we waited. It came

1145
00:51:47,800 --> 00:51:49,600
Speaker 2: out at eleven o'clock Eastern is what it said, but

1146
00:51:49,680 --> 00:51:54,200
Speaker 2: it was later. And yeah, our YouTube streamers saying test,

1147
00:51:54,239 --> 00:51:55,719
Speaker 2: you don't have to call it an Apple Mac.

1148
00:51:55,880 --> 00:51:56,600
Speaker 3: It's redundant.

1149
00:51:57,120 --> 00:51:59,880
Speaker 2: Hey listen, I'm trying to buy some time for that

1150
00:52:00,160 --> 00:52:02,319
Speaker 2: to get out Their official NBA report. I'm gonna throw

1151
00:52:02,320 --> 00:52:05,359
Speaker 2: an extra name in there. That's needless for sure.

1152
00:52:05,400 --> 00:52:07,800
Speaker 1: And you said the league, you assumed in the league

1153
00:52:07,920 --> 00:52:12,560
Speaker 1: was operating on max, But no, that could be wrong.

1154
00:52:12,760 --> 00:52:14,799
Speaker 1: I mean, don't they have a well, I guess that's

1155
00:52:14,840 --> 00:52:18,000
Speaker 1: the Google phone, right, what's the they have commercials or

1156
00:52:18,280 --> 00:52:22,160
Speaker 1: a deal with They do Gemini like ad reads all

1157
00:52:22,239 --> 00:52:23,120
Speaker 1: the time? Yeah, they do.

1158
00:52:23,360 --> 00:52:25,200
Speaker 4: Why did teams do small ball in the playoffs?

1159
00:52:25,840 --> 00:52:27,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right, that's right. I'm just I'm just wondering.

1160
00:52:27,920 --> 00:52:31,200
Speaker 1: Silver might be a PC guy. Do you think he

1161
00:52:31,320 --> 00:52:35,880
Speaker 1: likes it customizable? Maybe I could see that. Don't discredit

1162
00:52:35,960 --> 00:52:39,600
Speaker 1: it all, right, final headline here, it's from a couple

1163
00:52:39,600 --> 00:52:41,279
Speaker 1: of days ago. But Steve Kerr agrees to a two

1164
00:52:41,320 --> 00:52:43,680
Speaker 1: year deal to remain with the Warriors. The deal's going

1165
00:52:43,719 --> 00:52:45,560
Speaker 1: to keep curR as the highest paid coach in the NBA.

1166
00:52:46,640 --> 00:52:49,320
Speaker 1: He made seventeen point five million dollars last season. So

1167
00:52:49,960 --> 00:52:52,680
Speaker 1: it's either the same as that, if not more. TK

1168
00:52:52,920 --> 00:52:53,399
Speaker 1: is this news?

1169
00:52:53,640 --> 00:52:56,279
Speaker 4: I guess this is sort of news just because we

1170
00:52:56,360 --> 00:52:58,839
Speaker 4: know Steve curR sticking around Steph Curry is sticking around

1171
00:52:59,280 --> 00:53:01,279
Speaker 4: Draymond Green. He's there for at least a little bit

1172
00:53:01,320 --> 00:53:03,319
Speaker 4: more though, there is a little bit of talk about

1173
00:53:03,360 --> 00:53:06,759
Speaker 4: him potentially being traded because he would have to be

1174
00:53:06,840 --> 00:53:10,200
Speaker 4: involved from a contract point. I guess Jimmy Butler could

1175
00:53:10,200 --> 00:53:12,239
Speaker 4: be in the mix as well. But you know it

1176
00:53:12,400 --> 00:53:16,480
Speaker 4: just every time Kerr and Curry signed contracts that are

1177
00:53:16,560 --> 00:53:19,080
Speaker 4: basically putting on the same timeline, you just start thinking,

1178
00:53:19,160 --> 00:53:19,680
Speaker 4: is this the end?

1179
00:53:19,760 --> 00:53:20,880
Speaker 1: Is this the end? Is this the end?

1180
00:53:20,920 --> 00:53:23,520
Speaker 4: There's just been so many last dances for this Warriors team.

1181
00:53:23,960 --> 00:53:26,680
Speaker 4: I was looking at headlines. There are headlines about this

1182
00:53:26,800 --> 00:53:29,160
Speaker 4: being the Warriors last dance in twenty two, twenty three,

1183
00:53:29,320 --> 00:53:32,160
Speaker 4: twenty four, twenty five, and now we got two more

1184
00:53:32,239 --> 00:53:33,840
Speaker 4: years as a long dance.

1185
00:53:34,680 --> 00:53:36,960
Speaker 1: Very long dance. Somebody turned the lights on. All right,

1186
00:53:37,880 --> 00:53:38,680
Speaker 1: take me home tonight.

1187
00:53:40,600 --> 00:53:43,479
Speaker 2: It felt like last year would be the last last

1188
00:53:43,600 --> 00:53:49,560
Speaker 2: dance right until this. He's actually signed longer than Steph

1189
00:53:49,600 --> 00:53:50,799
Speaker 2: Curry at this point.

1190
00:53:50,920 --> 00:53:52,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I would expect the Warriors to reach an

1191
00:53:52,680 --> 00:53:55,560
Speaker 1: agreement here. I would Curry on an extension sooner other

1192
00:53:55,600 --> 00:53:57,120
Speaker 1: than later going anywhere.

1193
00:53:57,160 --> 00:53:59,120
Speaker 2: Curry, Yeah, yeah, it would only be a one year

1194
00:53:59,160 --> 00:54:01,279
Speaker 2: extension first, because he signed through next year.

1195
00:54:01,760 --> 00:54:02,280
Speaker 1: That's happening.

1196
00:54:02,440 --> 00:54:02,600
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1197
00:54:02,640 --> 00:54:07,000
Speaker 2: The one player who could be traded this year, as

1198
00:54:07,040 --> 00:54:09,320
Speaker 2: trade brought up the Draymond scenario.

1199
00:54:10,480 --> 00:54:13,560
Speaker 1: True, he has a player option. He's expected to either

1200
00:54:13,600 --> 00:54:15,640
Speaker 1: pick it up or I guess remain with the Warriors,

1201
00:54:15,800 --> 00:54:17,560
Speaker 1: to remain with the Warrior, excuse me. Or he could

1202
00:54:17,560 --> 00:54:20,719
Speaker 1: decline it in favor of a longer term deal less money.

1203
00:54:21,920 --> 00:54:25,520
Speaker 1: So it's possibility too, Or you're right, are they moving

1204
00:54:25,560 --> 00:54:27,360
Speaker 1: off them if they're gonna make any sort of splashy,

1205
00:54:27,400 --> 00:54:30,080
Speaker 1: big move for another superstar, Hell, be honest for prying

1206
00:54:30,120 --> 00:54:33,480
Speaker 1: out loud, it's gonna have to be Draymond Green's contract

1207
00:54:33,960 --> 00:54:36,720
Speaker 1: or Jimmy Butler's contract, who, by the way, is injured

1208
00:54:36,760 --> 00:54:38,319
Speaker 1: and will be injured at the start of next season.

1209
00:54:38,520 --> 00:54:41,840
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Moses Moody also out for the season. So

1210
00:54:42,200 --> 00:54:45,360
Speaker 1: they're I mean, they're playing the hits here like the

1211
00:54:45,440 --> 00:54:48,640
Speaker 1: old band man. There's like, ah, let's just do it.

1212
00:54:48,760 --> 00:54:50,960
Speaker 1: And maybe that's maybe that's the thinking of ownership. They're like,

1213
00:54:51,040 --> 00:54:55,040
Speaker 1: oh Jesus, the thunder never lose Wemby and the Spurs

1214
00:54:55,239 --> 00:54:57,200
Speaker 1: good luck, they're just getting better and better. Maybe this

1215
00:54:57,360 --> 00:55:00,680
Speaker 1: is just it's just like cash the checks here. If

1216
00:55:00,680 --> 00:55:02,800
Speaker 1: your ownership here with Steph Curry in your building and

1217
00:55:02,880 --> 00:55:06,000
Speaker 1: sell out still and obviously all the key core pieces

1218
00:55:06,080 --> 00:55:08,959
Speaker 1: here and just like wait it out and then build

1219
00:55:09,040 --> 00:55:11,279
Speaker 1: for the future after post Curry and after maybe those

1220
00:55:11,320 --> 00:55:14,080
Speaker 1: teams start to have to break up because of CBA

1221
00:55:14,920 --> 00:55:15,839
Speaker 1: limitations on them.

1222
00:55:15,880 --> 00:55:19,480
Speaker 4: I don't know, because they're not basically what Draymond said

1223
00:55:19,520 --> 00:55:21,960
Speaker 4: when he was all right distant Charles Barkley, he was saying,

1224
00:55:22,000 --> 00:55:23,719
Speaker 4: we just want to be a competitive team out there.

1225
00:55:23,800 --> 00:55:26,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, we want to go out with our heads.

1226
00:55:26,640 --> 00:55:29,839
Speaker 4: Held high on our swords, rather than like the way

1227
00:55:30,680 --> 00:55:33,120
Speaker 4: the Bulls dynasty broke up, it was just over, yeah,

1228
00:55:33,719 --> 00:55:36,760
Speaker 4: we're the worst team immediately, So I don't know. Draymond

1229
00:55:36,760 --> 00:55:38,680
Speaker 4: also gave that interview at the trade deadline where he

1230
00:55:38,760 --> 00:55:41,920
Speaker 4: was basically like, I'm probably being traded. I'm gone, and

1231
00:55:42,320 --> 00:55:44,640
Speaker 4: they couldn't actually get a deal done. They brought him back,

1232
00:55:44,680 --> 00:55:46,680
Speaker 4: and now it's gonna be the same question marks for him.

1233
00:55:46,800 --> 00:55:49,479
Speaker 4: Is he involved in any sort of trades? Would Jimmy

1234
00:55:49,480 --> 00:55:50,520
Speaker 4: Butler be involved.

1235
00:55:50,239 --> 00:55:51,360
Speaker 1: In any sort of trades?

1236
00:55:51,840 --> 00:55:53,600
Speaker 4: Which means once we get to the trade deadline again,

1237
00:55:53,640 --> 00:55:55,479
Speaker 4: it'll be like, oh, the Warriors are pursuing some people,

1238
00:55:55,600 --> 00:55:56,040
Speaker 4: Will they.

1239
00:55:55,960 --> 00:55:57,080
Speaker 1: Include their first round picks?

1240
00:55:57,120 --> 00:56:00,399
Speaker 4: They won't because they are eyeballing a future some day

1241
00:56:00,680 --> 00:56:03,400
Speaker 4: where there's no Curry, no curR, no Draymond, and they

1242
00:56:03,480 --> 00:56:05,919
Speaker 4: have to rebuild the team, and guess what, it's gonna

1243
00:56:05,920 --> 00:56:09,560
Speaker 4: be hard. The Bulls still haven't recovered. When your dynasty ends,

1244
00:56:09,640 --> 00:56:11,520
Speaker 4: it's tough to get back on track and left. The

1245
00:56:11,680 --> 00:56:14,719
Speaker 4: NBA gives you an awesome player, like what happened with

1246
00:56:14,800 --> 00:56:18,040
Speaker 4: the Spurs. That's how you gotta do it. If you're

1247
00:56:18,040 --> 00:56:19,920
Speaker 4: a dynasty, you gotta hope they get rigged for you.

1248
00:56:20,120 --> 00:56:22,440
Speaker 4: It happened to the Bulls once I was there, then

1249
00:56:22,480 --> 00:56:23,239
Speaker 4: he blew out his knee and.

1250
00:56:23,200 --> 00:56:23,520
Speaker 3: It was over.

1251
00:56:24,280 --> 00:56:24,480
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1252
00:56:24,480 --> 00:56:27,680
Speaker 2: I wonder what Joey convinced Steve Kerr that they would

1253
00:56:27,719 --> 00:56:29,520
Speaker 2: be doing these next couple of years, because they had

1254
00:56:29,800 --> 00:56:34,040
Speaker 2: long meetings. I was reported by ESPN and Anthony Slater.

1255
00:56:35,400 --> 00:56:37,040
Speaker 3: That being said, I don't think.

1256
00:56:36,960 --> 00:56:40,399
Speaker 2: It's we can sign Draymond to an extension. I think

1257
00:56:40,520 --> 00:56:45,720
Speaker 2: that sounds a little crazy to say to Draymond, Haylo's

1258
00:56:46,760 --> 00:56:49,160
Speaker 2: and to say to their teams, we're bringing back Draymond.

1259
00:56:49,719 --> 00:56:53,160
Speaker 2: As Draymond said to the TNT crew and he was asked,

1260
00:56:53,239 --> 00:56:54,680
Speaker 2: what are you what are you looking forward to in

1261
00:56:54,760 --> 00:56:58,040
Speaker 2: this future? He said, sometimes at some point you kind

1262
00:56:58,080 --> 00:57:01,560
Speaker 2: of have to look at success in a different way

1263
00:57:02,160 --> 00:57:05,359
Speaker 2: and basically saying we don't look so good right now.

1264
00:57:06,239 --> 00:57:08,920
Speaker 2: You know, I tied that to Draymond and his potential

1265
00:57:09,160 --> 00:57:13,400
Speaker 2: tradable contract him Moses Moody would total forty mil. If

1266
00:57:13,440 --> 00:57:16,600
Speaker 2: you want to trade those and keep Jimmy around or

1267
00:57:16,640 --> 00:57:20,800
Speaker 2: have to keep Jimmy around some good money wise. You know,

1268
00:57:20,880 --> 00:57:24,720
Speaker 2: it's still a thin team beyond Steph and Jimmy. We

1269
00:57:24,840 --> 00:57:25,280
Speaker 2: shall see.

1270
00:57:26,400 --> 00:57:29,320
Speaker 1: They could make a move free honest, I guess if

1271
00:57:29,360 --> 00:57:31,960
Speaker 1: they do want to try and go for like one

1272
00:57:32,080 --> 00:57:34,200
Speaker 1: more with Steph Curry as your lead guy and you

1273
00:57:34,280 --> 00:57:37,760
Speaker 1: need to start player again. It feels like johnas wants

1274
00:57:37,800 --> 00:57:39,600
Speaker 1: to stay in the Eastern Conference and doesn't want to

1275
00:57:39,640 --> 00:57:41,960
Speaker 1: go less. That's a big part of it. Koc thinks

1276
00:57:42,000 --> 00:57:44,120
Speaker 1: the Warriors could make a move for Kwhi Leonard if

1277
00:57:44,160 --> 00:57:46,640
Speaker 1: he's available, and the Clippers go a different route there,

1278
00:57:47,040 --> 00:57:49,680
Speaker 1: and then of course Lebron James to sort of mash

1279
00:57:49,720 --> 00:57:52,000
Speaker 1: these two headlines together or something we talked about earlier

1280
00:57:52,040 --> 00:57:54,360
Speaker 1: in this podcast, the idea of like targeting him in

1281
00:57:54,400 --> 00:57:57,880
Speaker 1: free agency and having Lebron James and Curry play on

1282
00:57:57,920 --> 00:58:01,560
Speaker 1: a squad you really want to play the Hits, then

1283
00:58:01,640 --> 00:58:04,400
Speaker 1: let's do it. If he continues to or decides to

1284
00:58:04,400 --> 00:58:07,720
Speaker 1: continue to play. So yep, more more, what will the

1285
00:58:07,760 --> 00:58:10,440
Speaker 1: Warriors do here? More? What will the Warriors? Will they

1286
00:58:10,520 --> 00:58:14,200
Speaker 1: mortgage any of the future, like you said, to try

1287
00:58:14,280 --> 00:58:15,880
Speaker 1: and give them another chance at a title.

1288
00:58:16,720 --> 00:58:22,760
Speaker 4: They've already traded their twenty thirty first round pick protected

1289
00:58:23,200 --> 00:58:27,080
Speaker 4: once they're twenty Interesting, My guess is that they just

1290
00:58:27,160 --> 00:58:29,960
Speaker 4: try and stay competitive. Yeah, because when I was looking

1291
00:58:30,040 --> 00:58:32,640
Speaker 4: up these last Dance headlines, there's one about Gianni Santa

1292
00:58:32,680 --> 00:58:35,439
Speaker 4: to Cumpo from twenty twenty. Jana Santa Tokumpo is part

1293
00:58:35,480 --> 00:58:38,400
Speaker 4: of the Warriors last dance plans. They've been chasing this

1294
00:58:38,480 --> 00:58:40,440
Speaker 4: guy for so long, so they'll keep trying to go

1295
00:58:40,600 --> 00:58:43,240
Speaker 4: after him. And I don't know what they can offer

1296
00:58:43,360 --> 00:58:46,080
Speaker 4: back to the Bucks because they want a young blue

1297
00:58:46,160 --> 00:58:48,280
Speaker 4: chip prospect that's not on the team, and they want

1298
00:58:48,320 --> 00:58:50,640
Speaker 4: a lot of first round picks, and they do have

1299
00:58:50,800 --> 00:58:52,880
Speaker 4: their first round picks, and trust me, you're gonna want

1300
00:58:52,880 --> 00:58:54,080
Speaker 4: those Warriors ones in the future.

1301
00:58:54,160 --> 00:58:56,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, that would be the thinking there. But yeah, the

1302
00:58:56,840 --> 00:59:01,920
Speaker 1: blue chip player is like Pajemski. Okay, that's I think

1303
00:59:01,960 --> 00:59:02,560
Speaker 1: they're looking.

1304
00:59:02,400 --> 00:59:02,920
Speaker 4: For better than that.

1305
00:59:03,000 --> 00:59:06,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, those are the headlines.

1306
00:59:06,160 --> 00:59:11,800
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, he's also from Wisconsin Pods. Yeah, just like

1307
00:59:11,920 --> 00:59:12,440
Speaker 2: Tyler Hero.

1308
00:59:12,680 --> 00:59:15,520
Speaker 1: It's true. Yeah, you have to be from Wiscon.

1309
00:59:16,360 --> 00:59:18,240
Speaker 4: The only way you can put together a fake trade

1310
00:59:18,320 --> 00:59:19,760
Speaker 4: is if a guy is from that. That's right that

1311
00:59:19,960 --> 00:59:22,240
Speaker 4: It comes up all the time nowadays, Jaylen Brown of

1312
00:59:22,280 --> 00:59:22,600
Speaker 4: the Hawks.

1313
00:59:22,600 --> 00:59:23,880
Speaker 1: They're saying, yeah, that's right.

1314
00:59:24,640 --> 00:59:27,640
Speaker 2: Uh Poemski one of his nicknames, the Pythagorean theorem.

1315
00:59:27,960 --> 00:59:29,280
Speaker 1: No, that's definitely.

1316
00:59:30,640 --> 00:59:33,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, reference the Greek tie in.

1317
00:59:34,080 --> 00:59:37,320
Speaker 1: I mean you know, okay, do you know the patagon theorem?

1318
00:59:38,080 --> 00:59:50,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's easy. Is that a truck question? I'm just curious.

1319
00:59:52,680 --> 00:59:58,240
Speaker 1: Sponsored by Ethan from Muswell Hill, England. Does that sound

1320
00:59:58,280 --> 01:00:02,400
Speaker 1: familiar Muswell Hill, Well, England. Yeah, the Muzzies. I said

1321
01:00:02,440 --> 01:00:05,680
Speaker 1: it recently here in Woe Boy, with a previous sponsorship.

1322
01:00:05,720 --> 01:00:08,439
Speaker 1: Listen to this, Ethan writes in been a listener since

1323
01:00:08,480 --> 01:00:10,600
Speaker 1: I was at college in Upstate New York. I've since

1324
01:00:10,680 --> 01:00:13,600
Speaker 1: moved countries, gotten married, had a kid. I am still

1325
01:00:13,880 --> 01:00:17,440
Speaker 1: listening in we love it, Ethan, He continues, imagine my

1326
01:00:17,600 --> 01:00:20,320
Speaker 1: surprise when I heard Woe Boy sponsored by Ben Grubb

1327
01:00:20,760 --> 01:00:24,680
Speaker 1: and the Muswell Hill Ballers since I now live in

1328
01:00:24,840 --> 01:00:28,439
Speaker 1: Muswell Hill. Not just that, but my old rec league

1329
01:00:28,480 --> 01:00:31,320
Speaker 1: team disbanded and I've been looking for a new team.

1330
01:00:32,040 --> 01:00:34,160
Speaker 1: So I would like to sponsor Woe Boy and ask

1331
01:00:34,200 --> 01:00:36,280
Speaker 1: if you can put me in touch with Ben and Damien,

1332
01:00:36,320 --> 01:00:39,840
Speaker 1: who was the GM of the Muswell Hill Ballers, to

1333
01:00:39,920 --> 01:00:43,800
Speaker 1: see if I can join the squad. We gotta get

01:00:44,800 --> 01:00:48,280
Speaker 1: our guy here, Ethan on this team or at least

1335
01:00:48,320 --> 01:00:52,880
Speaker 1: a tryout. At least a tryout. This is incredible. It's

1336
01:00:52,920 --> 01:00:53,920
Speaker 1: like misconnections.

1337
01:00:54,240 --> 01:00:54,439
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1338
01:00:54,960 --> 01:00:57,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, so now you've already you've already put them in touch.

1339
01:00:57,360 --> 01:00:59,320
Speaker 1: I guess through email, right, he's forwarded.

1340
01:00:59,440 --> 01:01:02,800
Speaker 2: I have sent an email address. Okay, has not been

1341
01:01:02,880 --> 01:01:04,800
Speaker 2: responded to it at this point. I don't know.

1342
01:01:04,880 --> 01:01:06,600
Speaker 3: I don't know what the connection is. But they know

1343
01:01:07,000 --> 01:01:07,680
Speaker 3: each other.

1344
01:01:10,640 --> 01:01:11,080
Speaker 2: In the ether.

1345
01:01:11,600 --> 01:01:16,480
Speaker 1: Okay, Muswell Hill. How big is Muswell Hill? That's what

1346
01:01:16,520 --> 01:01:19,320
Speaker 1: I'm looking at. Population, Oh my god, this place is

1347
01:01:19,520 --> 01:01:22,840
Speaker 1: this is like Strafford on Tier. The place is small

1348
01:01:22,920 --> 01:01:27,680
Speaker 1: man population of twenty seven thousand. This is a very

1349
01:01:27,720 --> 01:01:30,880
Speaker 1: tiny town. We're gonna have to be bumping into each

1350
01:01:30,880 --> 01:01:31,600
Speaker 1: other on the courts.

1351
01:01:31,680 --> 01:01:31,800
Speaker 2: Man.

1352
01:01:31,960 --> 01:01:33,880
Speaker 1: They've probably been in the same building. Maybe they played

1353
01:01:33,880 --> 01:01:38,040
Speaker 1: against each other. Wow, Ben versus Ethan. All right, so

1354
01:01:38,240 --> 01:01:42,280
Speaker 1: we will hopefully get an update on this. I hope Ethan,

1355
01:01:42,520 --> 01:01:44,840
Speaker 1: in sponsoring woll Boy, that you do get in touch

1356
01:01:45,240 --> 01:01:47,080
Speaker 1: with Ben and Damien. I mean they might be listening

1357
01:01:47,160 --> 01:01:49,600
Speaker 1: right now. Check your emails, guys if you are or

1358
01:01:49,840 --> 01:01:50,520
Speaker 1: who sponsored it?

1359
01:01:50,600 --> 01:01:50,720
Speaker 2: Ben?

1360
01:01:50,880 --> 01:01:54,520
Speaker 1: Right, was that the one or was it Damien first?

1361
01:01:54,640 --> 01:01:57,600
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter anyway, Ben ben Grubb, it was Ben

1362
01:01:57,920 --> 01:01:58,400
Speaker 1: Ben Grubb.

1363
01:01:59,040 --> 01:02:00,960
Speaker 2: How can you forget that named Ben Grub?

1364
01:02:02,200 --> 01:02:04,400
Speaker 1: Rub a dub grub, rub a dub grub. Send in

1365
01:02:04,480 --> 01:02:05,280
Speaker 1: some highlight tapes.

1366
01:02:05,760 --> 01:02:08,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, I know, I'm investing your game. I mean, how

1367
01:02:08,440 --> 01:02:11,240
Speaker 4: can we possibly recommend you to Ben and Daemon? Yeah

1368
01:02:11,280 --> 01:02:12,280
Speaker 4: we can the skills.

1369
01:02:12,360 --> 01:02:15,280
Speaker 2: We can't talk about Giannicis trades every day during the summer.

1370
01:02:15,480 --> 01:02:19,360
Speaker 2: If it's still up, we will watch your tape in evalus.

1371
01:02:19,400 --> 01:02:23,880
Speaker 1: Alright, I'm in well. But Donovan Mitchell scored a record

1372
01:02:23,920 --> 01:02:25,680
Speaker 1: tying thirty nine of his forty three points in the

1373
01:02:25,720 --> 01:02:28,640
Speaker 1: second half. This guy's got thirty nine and the second

1374
01:02:28,680 --> 01:02:31,800
Speaker 1: half these nuts thirteen to twenty six from the field,

1375
01:02:31,920 --> 01:02:34,439
Speaker 1: four of twelve, from deep thirteen to fifteen at the line,

1376
01:02:34,840 --> 01:02:39,000
Speaker 1: five boards, couple of dimes, one steal thirty seven minutes

1377
01:02:39,040 --> 01:02:43,200
Speaker 1: played and we got a two two series, yeah, between

1378
01:02:43,240 --> 01:02:45,080
Speaker 1: Detroit and Cleveland. So good stuff. I mean, I thought

1379
01:02:45,080 --> 01:02:48,120
Speaker 1: about Evan Mobley obviously a J mitchell SGA whatever, but

1380
01:02:49,240 --> 01:02:52,080
Speaker 1: that's a you know, a record tying second half performance

1381
01:02:52,920 --> 01:02:55,520
Speaker 1: that almost I mean we sort of like we glossed

1382
01:02:55,560 --> 01:02:58,080
Speaker 1: over it because he was awesome, but we didn't unpack

1383
01:02:58,280 --> 01:03:00,880
Speaker 1: like every bucket. He's just feeling it.

1384
01:03:01,000 --> 01:03:03,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, we barely even talked about those two assists. Yeah,

1385
01:03:03,760 --> 01:03:05,960
Speaker 4: got him right at the beginning. I wonder if guy's

1386
01:03:06,000 --> 01:03:09,120
Speaker 4: ever won whoe boy off just a second half? Mmm,

1387
01:03:09,880 --> 01:03:12,280
Speaker 4: you know, like they bring in some dude off the bench,

1388
01:03:12,640 --> 01:03:13,720
Speaker 4: he goes for seven threes.

1389
01:03:13,840 --> 01:03:17,040
Speaker 1: I'm sure. Yeah, that's happened before. That's happened before, but

1390

1398
01:03:44,040 --> 01:03:47,240
Speaker 1: potentially who comes through from Minnesota feels like that. It

1399
01:03:47,360 --> 01:03:49,720
Speaker 1: feels like the wild Like, you know, Ant's doing his

1400
01:03:49,840 --> 01:03:53,240
Speaker 1: part here, but especially in that game four, but he

1405
01:04:03,400 --> 01:04:06,680
Speaker 1: Excited for this one. This it feels like the series

1406
01:04:06,760 --> 01:04:09,800
Speaker 1: to me here tonight, whoever wins this one is like,

1407
01:04:09,920 --> 01:04:11,800
Speaker 1: I like their chances to win one of the next two.

1408
01:04:13,680 --> 01:04:18,600
Speaker 2: Yeah you called the Wolves in seven seven, Yeah, that's

1409
01:04:18,600 --> 01:04:21,400
Speaker 2: what are they gonna do? Win tonight?

1410
01:04:21,520 --> 01:04:23,600
Speaker 1: Win tonight on the road, lose back in their bar,

1411
01:04:23,960 --> 01:04:27,360
Speaker 1: went on the road again, and that'd be crazy. Yeah,

1412
01:04:27,680 --> 01:04:31,360
Speaker 1: it's tough. Yeah, but anything could happen, Any result could happen.

1413
01:04:31,440 --> 01:04:34,040
Speaker 4: I do feel like the Wolves have been missing Devincenzo

1414
01:04:34,120 --> 01:04:37,000
Speaker 4: a lot in the past couple of series. His just

1415
01:04:37,120 --> 01:04:40,600
Speaker 4: like chucking nature really is helpful because I mean, they

1416
01:04:40,680 --> 01:04:42,880
Speaker 4: get enough three point shots up, but he just shoots

1417
01:04:42,880 --> 01:04:45,960
Speaker 4: it so quickly. But yeah, it's definitely an advantage for them,

1418
01:04:46,040 --> 01:04:47,960
Speaker 4: and I'm sure they would have liked to have him

1419
01:04:48,320 --> 01:04:50,240
Speaker 4: late in that fourth quarter. As they were trying to.

1420
01:04:50,240 --> 01:04:50,800
Speaker 2: Blow the lead.

1421
01:04:51,160 --> 01:04:53,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, I thought Nas was kind of that guy.

1422
01:04:53,920 --> 01:04:57,160
Speaker 1: He's been playing well, I think, yeah, I thought he's

1423
01:04:57,160 --> 01:05:00,000
