1
00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:14,000
Speaker 1: Yo, yo yo. We live on location. We are here.

2
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:19,160
Speaker 1: Conference finals are here. The Nuggets have advanced to the

3
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:24,680
Speaker 1: finals for the first time in franchise history after overcoming

4
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:30,480
Speaker 1: an unbelievable performers from King Lebron James. They won on

5
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:34,600
Speaker 1: Monday night. But right here tonight, what just went on?

6
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:38,599
Speaker 1: The Celtics are on the board, ladies and gentlemen. They

7
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 1: strike a victory in Miami in Game four one, sixteen

8
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:45,160
Speaker 1: ninety nine.

9
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 2: Victory over the Heat. Yes, right now, what you think

10
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:51,159
Speaker 2: of that? Black? What you think of that?

11
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 1: The Miami Heat did not bring out the brooms tonight.

12
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 1: They weren't able to sweep the Boss and Celtics out

13
00:00:58,120 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 1: the board.

14
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 2: Young baby, not a baby, no more grown man.

15
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:07,399
Speaker 1: Jason Tatum went out there and did the thing thirty four,

16
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 1: eleven and seven and refused to get swept.

17
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 2: What you think black?

18
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 3: I thought the the Celtics played with more effort.

19
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 4: They defense was was in test.

20
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 3: They swung the ball around, they hit the shots that

21
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 3: they wasn't hitting the last three games. Everybody played defense.

22
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 3: Grant Williams played a good defense man. The guys played hard.

23
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 3: L Harford played good. I played to think they played

24
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 3: good overall, as a team. They was getting out in

25
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 3: the passing lane, getting steals. They were doing what they

26
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 3: were supposed to do. Wait to respect the game and

27
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 3: respect it that y'all don't want to get swept.

28
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 2: You know.

29
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 4: I'm just glad they came in because getting.

30
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 3: Blown out in Game three, I just really wanted to

31
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 3: see how they was gonna come out and actually play.

32
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 3: But shout out to the Celtics for not getting swept

33
00:01:58,160 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 3: and getting out there and fight.

34
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 4: Gonna change my pick because I ain't gonna change God.

35
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:09,359
Speaker 3: Look, look, I did initially say themselves was gonna win,

36
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 3: but I just don't think they'll beat Miami four games

37
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 3: in a row.

38
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 1: And listen, let me let me say this uncharacteristically. I

39
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:21,360
Speaker 1: have to agree with you. I can't believe that Boston

40
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 1: out played Miami. I can deal and I can totally

41
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,079
Speaker 1: accept with the Heat losing and things like that, but

42
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 1: not being out hustled and you know, fifty fifty balls

43
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: losing that all of those things like you know, this

44
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:40,959
Speaker 1: is this is what the Heat do, especially in a

45
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 1: close out game on their home court, where I thought,

46
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,519
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, obviously you saw spo in one

47
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 1: of the late timeouts when he talked to Ali Little

48
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:51,679
Speaker 1: For's my former teammate.

49
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 2: Shout out Ali, you know what I'm saying.

50
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 1: But yeah, she did the interview with with Spoe, and

51
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 1: Spo spoke on like how bad they wanted it, and

52
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 1: you know, I don't I don't think it was one

53
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 1: of those situations where you know, the heat didn't didn't

54
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,799
Speaker 1: you know, weren't ready and weren't this. I think it

55
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 1: might've been one of those things where they wanted it

56
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 1: so bad that they had too much emotions and they

57
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 1: might have been, you know what I'm saying, one of

58
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 1: those times where you want something so bad that you

59
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 1: too hyped for it and you too over excited and

60
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 1: you don't shoot. Well, you didn't do all of those things,

61
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 1: and some of the things that's very very in character

62
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 1: for Miami weren't really that those things weren't really happening

63
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,639
Speaker 1: for them. It was very out of character the way

64
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 1: they played today. And like you know, spoke, I really

65
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 1: really trust him when he speaks. He knows the posts

66
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 1: of his team, he knows his players. And if he

67
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 1: said something like that how bad they wanted it, all

68
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: go more with that narrative that maybe they wanted it

69
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 1: too bad and they overshot and they you know, they

70
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 1: had too much energy for it. But uh, like you say, man,

71
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: you got to shout out to the Celtics, man, regardless

72
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 1: of whatever the scenario was.

73
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 2: Baby Jay came out second half and.

74
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 1: He obliterated all the narrative that had been going on

75
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 1: and how he had been playing, and he was he

76
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 1: was like the start of that run they had. He

77
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 1: hit the two threes in the row, then he drove

78
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 1: to the hole and he got the lay up, and

79
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 1: he you know, he continued through that even passing it.

80
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 1: And you know, at one point they say he had

81
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 1: passed or scored on how many points it was.

82
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:27,679
Speaker 2: But he was a big part of that run they had.

83
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:32,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it definitely was. And man, I'm glad he

84
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 3: woke up this fourth quarter getting shot us in the

85
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:39,159
Speaker 3: fourth quarter and doing what he was doing. They played

86
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,600
Speaker 3: good as a team, Like that's the first time I

87
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 3: seen like you say, the hustle plays, the being in

88
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:48,920
Speaker 3: the passing lane and contesting all the jumpers that the

89
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:52,119
Speaker 3: heat was throwing at him, kind of playing as a team,

90
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 3: moving the ball around, getting the open three. This was

91
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 3: the first game that they looked good. They didn't turn

92
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 3: the ball over as much. They look good out there,

93
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 3: So shout out to them. But keep fighting, you know,

94
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,480
Speaker 3: because they could have easily just you know, one, two,

95
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 3: three can coon this?

96
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:12,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, listening being truly transparent, I thought it was over.

97
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 2: I told you I was in the building on Sunday.

98
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 1: And the energy looked like it was like damn, I

99
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 1: hate to say it, but it looked like they was

100
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 1: you know, they was disconnected and it was over. But

101
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,720
Speaker 1: we have to bring up the fact that not only

102
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 1: market Smart, but Jalen Brown also today after shooting a round,

103
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:39,600
Speaker 1: said don't let us get one. They spoke extremely confident

104
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:43,480
Speaker 1: about feeling how they felt about this particular game. They

105
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 1: weren't talking about game after this, one of the any

106
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 1: of the other They was talking about this game, and

107
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 1: they said, don't let us get one. So I'm extremely, extremely,

108
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 1: extremely excited to see what's going to happen on Thursday.

109
00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 1: The fact that we do have another game in this

110
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 1: you know, they live to fight another day. So you know,

111
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 1: you gotta shout that out and salute that because when

112
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:09,360
Speaker 1: you say that beforehand, down three to zero, when everybody

113
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 1: think you going home, me included, I thought they were

114
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 1: going home as big as a Tatum A fan I am.

115
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,159
Speaker 1: I have to be honest. I thought it was over

116
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 1: and they got the job done tonight. So you gotta

117
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:22,279
Speaker 1: salute that for them guys coming out there against all lives,

118
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 1: when people you know, would talk bad about them and

119
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 1: say different things. They said what they said and they

120
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:30,839
Speaker 1: got the job done tonight. Now can they do it again?

121
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:37,360
Speaker 1: We will see. But for tonight they did that. Yeah, realistically,

122
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 1: Black do they have a chance? Is it over or

123
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 1: can they continue to fight?

124
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 3: I don't think they got I don't think they can

125
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 3: beat Miami four games in a row. But I will say this,

126
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 3: if they go back home and they handle business, they

127
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 3: would put more pressure on Miami going back to Miami,

128
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 3: like it can be a scary situation. You can stretch

129
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:01,359
Speaker 3: this out, but you gotta protect home, Like that's what

130
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:03,040
Speaker 3: defeated the whole purpose.

131
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 4: You lost two games at.

132
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 3: Home, Like that's what you gotta go and you gotta

133
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 3: at least you got to win this series.

134
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 4: You gotta get two games at home.

135
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 3: You know that, So hey, you gotta go home and

136
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 3: you gotta represent two just like you represent tonight.

137
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 4: But we gonna see. Like I say, I ain't gonna

138
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 4: change my pick.

139
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 3: I picked leg to win it, and I'm gonna stick

140
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 3: to it. But uh, my all to ego telling me that, man, now,

141
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 3: they ain't gonna beat Miami Heat four games in bro.

142
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 1: There's no alter ego in me. There's no alter ego here.

143
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 1: This is the real Cue Ridge. And I say, I

144
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 1: started out saying, hey, Boston, but after Miami went there

145
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 1: and just took two games from them on the floor,

146
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 1: at that point, you remember I was changing right then,

147
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 1: I said, because I already knew the DNA of a

148
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 1: Miami Heat team. But when they going in and do

149
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 1: something like that. This was before they went three to zero,

150
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 1: when they went two to oh in Boston, I said

151
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 1: it was over. And now that they are, you know,

152
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 1: even with them losing this game, I feel like it's.

153
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 2: I'm with you.

154
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 1: They not gonna beat the Miami this Miami Heat team

155
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 1: four games in a row. If they do, I'll be

156
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 1: the first person to come out and say I was

157
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 1: dead ass wrong. But I do not see that. I

158
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 1: can't see it with binoculars. Black, No, sir, Not four

159
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,080
Speaker 1: games in a row, not this Miami Heat team. Not

160
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 1: with all it has been going on, and how they've

161
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:38,440
Speaker 1: played against them, I feel you. And even if they

162
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:41,200
Speaker 1: get this next game in Boston, I salute that too,

163
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:44,840
Speaker 1: because I know one thing that Boston fan base is

164
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:49,439
Speaker 1: gonna be rabid this next game. If they do anything

165
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,320
Speaker 1: to give them something to cheer about, they are gonna

166
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 1: go bananas, and rightfully so. And that's what you're supposed

167
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 1: to for your home team and your home crowd, to

168
00:08:58,520 --> 00:08:59,080
Speaker 1: get them right.

169
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 2: So I see that.

170
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,960
Speaker 1: But like I can't see them winning four games in

171
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 1: a row against his Heat team, not with the way.

172
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 2: They built, not what they made of.

173
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 1: But as everything always goes, it is still games to

174
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:16,960
Speaker 1: be played, and we shall see. And even look, coach Missoula,

175
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 1: he been under extreme fire. We need to say what

176
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:23,560
Speaker 1: we need to say about him. He came out, his

177
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 1: guys were inspired. I don't know if it's true or not.

178
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 1: I heard they didn't do no practicing the other day.

179
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:33,320
Speaker 1: They well, yesterday they went in, they had a free day,

180
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 1: they had fun, they did some get your mind off everything,

181
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 1: clear your mind, get your spear right, and people can

182
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 1: say what they want to say. But they got a

183
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:45,560
Speaker 1: w today. Hey, kudos to you, Missoula. You did whatever

184
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 1: you need to do and your team came out tonight

185
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 1: and they won a game that they needed to win

186
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 1: to keep the atsing alive.

187
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 2: So salute to you. As much as.

188
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:56,439
Speaker 1: Everybody got something to say bad about you, we gotta

189
00:09:56,480 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 1: salute the good too. Now, Denver, Los Angeles Black, the

190
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 1: Nuggets came in and they did what I said I

191
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:12,679
Speaker 1: thought they was gonna do. I never I'm not about

192
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 1: to sit here they listen, listen to World America everybody else.

193
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 1: I never said they was gonna sweep them, but from

194
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 1: the very start, I definitely absolutely said I'm gonna stop

195
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 1: disrespecting these Denver Nuggets, and I'm gonna say that I

196
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 1: got them in this series. I didn't think they was

197
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 1: gonna bring them brooms to LA and sweep them. People

198
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 1: up out the Crypto dot Com rener. But listen, with

199
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 1: that being said, the Nuggets, Hey, we gonna get to

200
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:44,080
Speaker 1: the Nuggets. But we would be remissed if we didn't

201
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 1: start with Lebron here because the legend the icons that

202
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:51,839
Speaker 1: is Lebron James. That man had forty ten and nine,

203
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 1: played forty seven minutes in fifty six seconds, basically all

204
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:02,199
Speaker 1: forty eight. I mean, let's just be we gonna count

205
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 1: that as forty a right black straight up. He didn't

206
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 1: have a foot, an ankle, or groun whatever else he

207
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:10,840
Speaker 1: had going on, and he still came out there and

208
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 1: did all of that.

209
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:16,440
Speaker 2: Bro, what do we have to say?

210
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:19,680
Speaker 1: And then you know, speaking on how he spoke about

211
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 1: possibly retiring and how that was, like, do you really

212
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:26,959
Speaker 1: think he will possibly retire at this point in this

213
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 1: fashion or what do you feel about all of those

214
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 1: things that was said? Because I want to hear what

215
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:33,560
Speaker 1: you got to say, But I have an opinion on

216
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 1: that as well.

217
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 2: I don't.

218
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 4: I don't think Lebrin retire.

219
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:40,200
Speaker 3: I think he definitely got a good two maybe three

220
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 3: years left in him. I think he go and get

221
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 3: their foot surgery right away and go gonna start getting

222
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 3: that together. But I feel like I feel like he

223
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 3: definitely got two or three years. What I feel like

224
00:11:54,160 --> 00:12:01,840
Speaker 3: the Lakers overaw they need another superstar. Lie Dame Lillard,

225
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 3: I lie, oh, Kyrie Irving.

226
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:07,720
Speaker 2: You know he was at the games now.

227
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 1: Game Tray Young Trey Young has been after yesterday, after

228
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 1: the elimination today, it was surfacing that like I don't know,

229
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 1: you know how this is.

230
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:20,960
Speaker 2: It's all alleged until it's really real.

231
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:28,199
Speaker 1: Allegedly there's been hypothetical talks about acquiring Trey Young after

232
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 1: he was being rumored as being so called available.

233
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 2: You never remember all that stuff on all little stuff,

234
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 2: so like he at the game, so you never know

235
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:40,680
Speaker 2: what's really real. But like I'm with you on that.

236
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, I just I just feel like.

237
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:51,160
Speaker 3: Lebron would be a great second third option for for

238
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 3: for a team. I feel like that's what they tried

239
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 3: to create with Russ earlier in New Year, with Russ

240
00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 3: and a d H. And I think think they gonna

241
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 3: probably try it again because they missed that. You know,

242
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 3: Lebron can't run the ball, and you know he's a

243
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 3: he'll tire out. You're twenty. Like, I don't feel like

244
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 3: he shouldn't play. He shouldn't have played forty eight minutes,

245
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 3: like you asking him for a guy to play twenty

246
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 3: years of waring terror to give you forty eight minutes,

247
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 3: Like that's I don't think.

248
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 1: I don't I don't think that was a scenario where

249
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 1: they was asking that. If I think that was a

250
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:30,200
Speaker 1: scenario where he said this is what I'm gonna do.

251
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, no, But you know, you know with us man,

252
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 3: sometimes you gotta you gotta have a person that save

253
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:37,320
Speaker 3: you from yourself.

254
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 2: You know you can't.

255
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:41,680
Speaker 1: You can't save you can't save that from that. In

256
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 1: this scenario, you gotta let him do whatever he want

257
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 1: to do.

258
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's him tiring him tiring out at the end

259
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 3: from playing for so many minutes. Was just like that,

260
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 3: Like Lebron, I know, I know you want to play

261
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 3: forty eight, but you you're twenty. We can't have you

262
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 3: play forty eight. We need you to play forty five

263
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 3: forty two. We gotta give you that five or seven

264
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 3: minutes so you won't gas out at the end. You

265
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying. Timeouse not long enough. So you

266
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 3: gotta save a person from itself. But that's why you

267
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:14,720
Speaker 3: need another superstar guy in there that that can take

268
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:16,560
Speaker 3: the ball, put the ball in his hand. I feel

269
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:18,960
Speaker 3: like D'Angelo Russell had a bad series.

270
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 1: It just wasn't hate the way. I hate the way

271
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 1: that happens, though, bro, because it's like and one and

272
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 1: one fell swoop. It's like you you wipe away who

273
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 1: this guy is and what he's done the playoffs.

274
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 2: And what he's done the season, and what he's.

275
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 1: Who he is when he's healthy, Like yeah, like anybody

276
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 1: couldn't pick at this that the third but like, come on, man,

277
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 1: don't get it twisted.

278
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 2: DeAngelo Russell was nice.

279
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, he didn't do this, So he didn't do that,

280
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:55,200
Speaker 1: and he may have not performed up to par when

281
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 1: it mattered, and like, let him have a history of

282
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 1: that before you try and just debilitate him or who

283
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 1: he has been. You know what I'm saying, Like this

284
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:07,480
Speaker 1: is a this allbeit this was a big year, it

285
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 1: was one year.

286
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 2: Don't act like he.

287
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 1: Got a history of like laying eggs when it really

288
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Like, let that be like

289
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 1: the oh, this is the history, and let them have

290
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 1: stats and stuff to back that up. But like he

291
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 1: definitely feel short of who he is and what he

292
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 1: I feel what everybody think he should have been doing

293
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 1: out there right now. But like, bro, don't just try

294
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:32,800
Speaker 1: and act like di'angelo Russell. Ain't D'Angelo Russell and he

295
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 1: ain't one of the nicest dudes to play his position

296
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 1: in the whole period league like he nice, don't do that. Man,

297
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 1: I hate I hate when narratives get spun like that.

298
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 1: And it's cool, it's cool for you to be upset

299
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 1: that your team loss and some and this person of

300
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 1: that person didn't do well, or if you one of

301
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 1: those guys and those people and it's not just guys

302
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 1: but people out there, because it's a different world now.

303
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 2: Black.

304
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, like I said, he just had a bad series. Man,

305
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:02,800
Speaker 3: he couldn't catch a rhythm that series. You know, we've

306
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 3: seen him putting the work in after games, shooting shots.

307
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 3: He just couldn't. He couldn't get his rhythm. You know,

308
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 3: it happens to the best of them, and.

309
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 2: That's it.

310
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 3: I think just Denver just came in as a whole

311
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 3: as a team. Like I say, they want of the

312
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 3: deepest teams of the league, if not the deepest team

313
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:23,960

360
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:39,639
Speaker 3: been playing earlier in the season. Man, he kind of

361
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:41,479

362
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 1: He played well. We can't nobody can't take that from him.

363
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:47,640
Speaker 1: He gave some solid minutes in a little short term

364
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:50,479
Speaker 1: and he played. It was a good quality minute. So

365
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:51,919
Speaker 1: that that was what it was.

366
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:52,200
Speaker 2: Man.

367
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:55,040

368
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 1: out Denver for actually getting done. They actually went out

369
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:00,160
Speaker 1: there and closed out.

370
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 3: Yea, Yolks had a great series. Man, that that off

371
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:05,400
Speaker 3: the wrong leg.

372
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:09,640
Speaker 2: Step, that's a cheat code. Bro, come homet be real.

373
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:12,199
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's part of his game. I haven't seen it

374
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 3: too many times.

375
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:13,240
Speaker 1: Nah.

376
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 4: At first I thought it was like, yeah, he was

377
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:15,960
Speaker 4: doing that so time.

378
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:18,159
Speaker 1: And let me ask you this, bla. You you was

379
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:22,680
Speaker 1: an elite defender. It's awkward in his off balance and

380
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 1: it's off guard.

381
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:25,639
Speaker 2: Is that you think you could defend that?

382
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:26,960
Speaker 4: You can't defend it?

383
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:29,639
Speaker 2: Thank you? Okay, that's okay, that's what I want to hear.

384
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:33,320
Speaker 1: That's the elite, elite, elite defender, ladies and gentlemen.

385
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 3: Nothing the best, the best defenders. You you can't defend it.

386
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:42,280
Speaker 3: Like Lebron was the one Lebron like hit mess a

387
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:46,199
Speaker 3: d up, but the one, the one Lebron was on.

388
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:51,399
Speaker 3: He was still all over it behind his head and

389
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:52,720
Speaker 3: it was crazy.

390
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:55,199
Speaker 1: And to hear Lebron even bring it up in the

391
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:58,160
Speaker 1: post game. They let you know that, Okay, we're not tripping.

392
00:19:58,400 --> 00:19:59,400
Speaker 1: It was crazy.

393
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:03,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, like that wrong leg step back, it's serious, that serious,

394
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 3: but just joking in general. Man, I'm not fighting it

395
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 3: like that. Man, he paid the best all time. Yeah,

396
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 3: his pace and all that stuff. I didn't want to

397
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:19,200
Speaker 3: give it to him. I don't know why. I can't

398
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 3: fight I guess because you don't see the highlight of it.

399
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:24,480
Speaker 3: You don't see the the glamour of it. You don't

400
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:27,960
Speaker 3: see the flashiness of it. Like how you can just

401
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:31,679
Speaker 3: kind of critique any other player that is, you know,

402
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 3: because if you go down the top seventy five, you

403
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 3: can you can see the glamour in them.

404
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:38,240
Speaker 2: Names guys off the page.

405
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:41,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, but with jokers, like you don't see the glamour.

406
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:42,919
Speaker 3: But when you look at the stat she's in the

407
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:47,640
Speaker 3: end and it's say thirty four, eleven and fourteen, damn

408
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:48,520
Speaker 3: near every game.

409
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:52,080
Speaker 1: See what you just said, then there I think that

410
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 1: damn near every game. That's what's starting to make him

411
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:58,879
Speaker 1: pop off the page. Yeah, that he's been doing it

412
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 1: so consistent for so long, and it's like, like you

413
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:05,359
Speaker 1: just said, I can't fight it for those who try

414
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 1: to fight it, like it's becoming undeniable, you know what

415
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 1: I'm saying. Like you got obviously you got those rolling

416
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:14,159
Speaker 1: and thoses because he been MVP back to back, but

417
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:17,160
Speaker 1: it's like you still got those people that's like, nah,

418
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:20,359
Speaker 1: I don't man, But like now, like when you starting

419
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:23,960
Speaker 1: to see it on the regular against whoever it is,

420
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:26,240
Speaker 1: it's like that's what makes it become undenied.

421
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:29,400
Speaker 3: And it's a time where you know, now you get

422
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:32,680
Speaker 3: to see Joker play like you don't see Joker play.

423
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 3: A lot of guys don't even really watch a Joker

424
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:38,199
Speaker 3: game or full Joker game or nothing like that.

425
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:39,840
Speaker 4: But you actually see Joker.

426
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 3: Play to see how he gathered his impact on the

427
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:45,159
Speaker 3: game and all that. But man, shout out to the
