26
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 2: over at no dunks dot Com. Okay, let's jump right

27
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 2: into it because I know a lot of people are

28
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 2: here for the Clippers slander. Yeah, we'll start with that game.

29
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 2: Luca and the Mavericks beat the Clippers one twenty seven,

30
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 2: one twenty one to take the two to zero series lead.

31
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 2: Leley get us started.

32
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 3: Man, Wow, where do I start in this game? Which

33
00:01:57,960 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 3: point do I want to hit on? First?

34
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 4: Because Luca was just incredible once again, and the Mavericks

35
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 4: those role players hitting shots.

36
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:06,559
Speaker 3: Tim Hardaway Jr.

37
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:08,360
Speaker 4: He's getting a bag full of cash this summer if

38
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:10,919
Speaker 4: he keeps up this play because he's been fantastic for them.

39
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 4: But overall, I mean, the concern for the Clippers now

40
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 4: is how they respond because they are in a huge

41
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 4: hole and there they stayed in the game last night,

42
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,919
Speaker 4: largely because of the skill of Kawhi Leonard. He kept

43
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,639
Speaker 4: them close enough, but it's very much as still I'm

44
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 4: going to go out and score, and then it's like

45
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 4: Paul George, I'm going to try to score. There's no

46
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,639
Speaker 4: real chemistry on that offense. That's my real problem with them,

47
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:37,079
Speaker 4: because the Mavericks score so much easier. It just feels

48
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 4: like it's either an uncontested dunk or layup, or it's

49
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,640
Speaker 4: an uncontested three point shot. And they're dropping right now.

50
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,360
Speaker 4: So that the body language I'm starting to see from

51
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 4: the Clippers is a very big concern. But if I'm

52
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 4: Ti Lou, I just tell Patrick Beverley don't even board

53
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 4: the plane to Dallas. There is no point in taking

54
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 4: him off there because behon Buddy Well the first possession

55
00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 4: of the game, because we knew coming into this game,

56
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 4: you know, Lou said the Kawhi or Paul George I

57
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:04,359
Speaker 4: think was going to Luka Doncic. So the Mavericks like, great, thanks,

58
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:08,520
Speaker 4: whoever then picks up, whoever Patrick Beverley picks up, Just

59
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:09,959
Speaker 4: go and get the ball and run straight into the

60
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:12,360
Speaker 4: lane and score. And that's what Tim Hardaway did and

61
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 4: then laid in the game. This was a five point game,

62
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:17,799
Speaker 4: and Marcus Morris just hit a three pointer.

63
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 3: Time out.

64
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 4: What happens The Mavericks decide, okay, we need to get

65
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 4: a couple of baskets.

66
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 3: Luka.

67
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 4: Doncic gets the switch and gets Patrick Beverley. Both times

68
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 4: Beverly ushers him to the lane. He just hushes him

69
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,359
Speaker 4: inside to the lane there, and then he hits those two.

70
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 5: You're looking for a right handed layer.

71
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 4: He may as well have worn He may as well

72
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 4: have worn my top hat and just said, oh, this

73
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 4: way a good star, because that's what Don did. And

74
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 4: then Doncic is just destroying him mentally as well, screaming

75
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 4: at him the whole way back down the court. And

76
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 4: then after that we had a Christaps Pausingis dunk that

77
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 4: when there was just no contest on that, and then

78
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 4: Tim Hardaway Junior hit a three. Now, the Clippers did

79
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 4: hit some baskets after that, but they were sort of

80
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 4: basically garbage time mate for me, That's all it was,

81
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 4: because the other threes they tried were Chris Paul George

82
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 4: had Christaps pausingers on a switch and Brendan Haywood on

83
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 4: the call of saying, don't settle, don't settle, don't settle.

84
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 4: What does he do settles clunks a three on the

85
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 4: next POSSESSI Kawhi Lennard comes down basically just to like, well,

86
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 4: I'm Kawhi Leonnon No one's going to tell me I

87
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:20,720
Speaker 4: can't take this shot. He just pulls up for a

88
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:22,839
Speaker 4: lazy transition three that clunks, and now he had a

89
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:24,920
Speaker 4: good game and you know that shot goes in. Maybe

90
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 4: it's a different story, but it's that feel of that

91
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 4: offense for me. That is just a bad, bad sign

92
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 4: here for the La Clippers, because if you look at

93
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 4: the box score, the Clippers out rebounded the Maps. They

94
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:38,280
Speaker 4: actually shot well from everywhere, fifty three from three and

95
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 4: ninety percent from the line. They beat the Maps in

96
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 4: fast break points and points in the paint. So how

97
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 4: come they lose this so easy? Especially when the Maps

98
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 4: couldn't hit their free throws last night. I just feel

99
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:50,839
Speaker 4: that there's just no defensive execution or chemistry. And I

100
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 4: just feel the Mavericks right now just think we can

101
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 4: score basically anytime we want. If we move that ball around,

102
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 4: someone's going to get an open look, whether it's a

103
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 4: three or in the lane. And if it's if Patrick

104
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:04,039
Speaker 4: Beverley's out there, it's like just going anyone whoever he's on,

105
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 4: just going school, you'll get the basket. So terrible, terrible

106
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 4: loss here for the Clippers last night, and they've got

107
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:13,479
Speaker 4: themselves obviously in a huge hole now heading out to Dallas.

108
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, but don't worry. They're not concerned, not that big

109
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 2: ideally not too oh. Lost both games at home, but

110
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,279
Speaker 2: come on now they're the underdocks now. All the pressure's

111
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 2: on the maps. How they're actually trying to sort of

112
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 2: flip the narrative here. I know they're grass back at

113
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 2: Straws at this point, so maybe I give it a go.

114
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 2: But tass, is this one over? I mean, we said

115
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 2: game two is must win for the Clippers. Luca and

116
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 2: all of his role players, who I'd like to get

117
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 2: into sort of separately here in a second, took care

118
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 2: of business. So this is done right. They lost, it's over.

119
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:42,479
Speaker 2: They're not coming back from this.

120
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 6: Well.

121
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:45,920
Speaker 7: The reason that they're down to oh is because they're

122
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 7: playing an all time great I mean, I know, we

123
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 7: just throw that term around, but Luka Doncic could end

124
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:55,279
Speaker 7: up as one of the best top ten all time players.

125
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 7: I don't think that's far fetched to say that.

126
00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:59,279
Speaker 2: I mean, no, it's not that far. I mean, this

127
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:05,039
Speaker 2: is the greatest start to a player's playoff career ever.

128
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:07,599
Speaker 2: No one's done what he's done in eight games whatever

129
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 2: it is like, no one's done this. All the greats, Magic, Lebron, everybody.

130
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:14,719
Speaker 7: Yeah, he's magic with a shot right now. People want

131
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 7: to compare him to James Harden, but Luka Doncac is

132
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 7: far better than James Harden was at this point of

133
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:23,359
Speaker 7: his career. He is, he is exceeding that like crazy.

134
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,840
Speaker 7: I mean the map shot fifty eight percent and fifty

135
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 7: three percent from from three point land, so fifty eight percent.

136
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 6: From the floor.

137
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 7: I mean, they just tore up the Clippers defense because

138
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:35,720
Speaker 7: of Luca. And the other reason why he's an all

139
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 7: time great is is it because he loves playing on

140
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:39,720
Speaker 7: the road.

141
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 6: He loves playing to the crowd. He's getting into.

142
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 7: It with every single person out there in the front row.

143
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:49,040
Speaker 7: So we're watching a guy who is the best player

144
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 7: in this series. I mean, we all expected Kawi to

145
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:53,040
Speaker 7: have a bit of a bounce back game. You know,

146
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 7: Kawi was fine in Game one. He did come back.

147
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 7: He had a thirty point first half. Oh yeah, he

148
00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 7: scored over forty points.

149
00:06:59,000 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 6: In this freaking game.

150
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 7: But I think we underestimate I do anyways, how great

151
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 7: Luca is and how much he loves the postseason. This

152
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 7: is his second postseason, this is his second crack, and

153
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 7: we're just seeing here that he is taking it to

154
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 7: another level. At the beginning of this season, he was

155
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 7: kind of out of shape, but now obviously he's in

156
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 7: incredible shape because he can carry a fricking team for

157
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 7: forty eight minutes. I mean they hide him on the

158
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 7: odd possession, but he literally has to be able to

159
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 7: handle the ball and pass to everybody and do everything.

160
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 7: And he's there at the end. And he defends too.

161
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 7: I mean they we all say, oh, he's a bad defender.

162
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 7: The guy is huge. He is, and now you know,

163
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 7: he's elevated his three point shot because it's playoff time, baby,

164
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 7: And I think we sort of underestimated, or I guess

165
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 7: underestimated is not the word forgot about how great a

166
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 7: coach Rick Carlisle is because he has instilled confidence in

167
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 7: every single one of those guys playing around Luca. Just

168
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 7: shoot that thing, just shoot it. And he made a

169
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 7: nice little adjustment adjustment putting Josh Richards into the bench

170
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 7: in favor of Tim hardaway and bang. If you're shooting

171
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 7: sixty percent fifty percent from three, and the best defense

172
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 7: for you is the free throw line, then you're not

173
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 7: gonna lose.

174
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 6: That's what it is.

175
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 7: I mean, it has really has nothing to do with

176
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 7: Clippers offense. They scored, but you can't give up one

177
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 7: hundred and twenty seven and expect to win. It's it's

178
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 7: Luca Man playing in a perfect era, playing with the

179
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 7: perfect team around him. That Josh Richardson adjustment is great,

180
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 7: and everybody just roll in with the best player in

181
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 7: this series on that team.

182
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 2: Trey, How embarrassing must it be here to purposely tank

183
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 2: to avoid a certain team with a legendary player, an

184
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 2: all time great, to now only find yourself getting humiliated

185
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:54,440
Speaker 2: up to this point through two games by another team

186
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 2: you weren't all that worried for about with also possibly

187
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 2: you know at least media great superstar of the league.

188
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 5: Bad.

189
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:08,320
Speaker 2: Look for the clips here. The basketball God's not tining

190
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 2: kindly upon them here because the mass can't miss here.

191
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 2: Did they ask for this?

192
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 8: Scared money don't make money, skeeeds. Scared teams don't win championships.

193
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 8: You tank to avoid the Lakers and guess what, You're

194
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:21,440
Speaker 8: gonna avoid the Lakers because you're taking a couple of

195
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 8: more L's here. I don't know if this is going

196
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 8: to be a sweep, but it's not looking good. I

197
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 8: thought the Clippers though, I thought they were supposed to

198
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 8: be good at defense. I'm sorry, Lee, I told you

199
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:32,960
Speaker 8: you could have confidence in these here Clippers, but clearly

200
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,079
Speaker 8: that is not the case. They give up one hundred

201
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:37,199
Speaker 8: and one points in three quarters. They're supposed to be

202
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:40,960
Speaker 8: a top ten defense, and they're supposed to have perimeter defenders.

203
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 5: That's the crazy thing.

204
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 8: They've got Kawhi, Paul George, and Patrick Beverley allegedly a

205
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:48,359
Speaker 8: good defender, though Russell Westbrook told us years.

206
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 5: Ago he's tricking you.

207
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:51,199
Speaker 8: He's just a short guy that runs around out there.

208
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 8: Everybody can shoot over him. Not to mention Avitza Zubats

209
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:56,719
Speaker 8: cannot guard anybody in this series. They're putting him in

210
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 8: the picking rolls as well. That's how you're seeing so

211
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 8: many dunks at the rim. For a while, there was

212
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 8: a lot of jokes for the Lakers because they let

213
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 8: Zubots get away, and people are saying this is going

214
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 8: to be the difference between the Clippers and the Lakers.

215
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 8: I think the Lakers are doing okay inside if you're

216
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 8: comparing those teams. But if you're not gonna get any

217
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 8: defense from your point guard who's allegedly a perimeter defender,

218
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 8: and you can't get any defense from your big guy,

219
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 8: where's the defense coming from.

220
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 5: That's why you lose when you shoot fifty forty ninety.

221
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 8: If the Mavericks are going to keep out shooting the Clippers,

222
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 8: they're going to easily win this series. If they out

223
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 8: shoot them two more games, this is going to be

224
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:33,320
Speaker 8: a sweep. I think it's possible, certainly that the Clippers

225
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 8: have a great shooting game down there in Dallas because

226
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 8: they seem to think that there's a road court advantage.

227
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 8: That was another thing that was coming up, saying it's

228
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:46,079
Speaker 8: easier to come into another team's gym and shoot because

229
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 8: there's no pressure, despite the fact that basically everybody says

230
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 8: the opposite. Your role players played better at home and

231
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:55,439
Speaker 8: it's home court advantage. But this is the Clippers we're

232
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 8: talking about here. I'm sorry Lee, I'm sorry for Sam.

233
00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:00,960
Speaker 8: You could have confidence in this team. That's not bad, but.

234
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 4: It should it just shouldn't be this bad for the

235
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 4: Clippers because you know, they've got the defenders, they've got

236
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 4: the bodies they can throw. But we saw Luca hit

237
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:10,680
Speaker 4: two of the most ridiculous shots last night. One I

238
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:13,560
Speaker 4: guess was on that Patrick Beverley, that one legged fade

239
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 4: away deep three. But the other one, which was on

240
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 4: Paul George, where he just bodied him and then floated

241
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:22,720
Speaker 4: it just perfectly over him to knock that in. And

242
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 4: that's the thing. Luca doesn't really care. It's like, Okay, Kawhi,

243
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 4: you can defend me. If you want Paul George, you

244
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 4: can defend me. I'm still gonna take these shots and

245
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 4: knock him down. He hit a big three another step

246
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:32,840
Speaker 4: back over Paul George early in the game last night.

247
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 4: Luca only went five to thirteen. He's not a great

248
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:37,680
Speaker 4: three point shooter, but it just feels he always hits

249
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 4: these massive ones, you know, That's that's the thing about him.

250
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 3: So yeah, I don't know, man, this is uh.

251
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:45,440
Speaker 2: He cooked he cood. I mean, we're like picking on

252
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 2: Patrick Beverley, and rightfully so, but he cooked everybody, like yeah, everybody.

253
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:50,199
Speaker 2: I mean, they didn't have an answer. Then they threw

254
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:52,080
Speaker 2: two guys at him. Then he just like swings it

255
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 2: and you know, suddenly tim Hordaway Junior is like unstoppable.

256
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 2: Like well, a lot of about Timorrow Junior. Last night.

257
00:11:58,280 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 2: We always talked about his three point shooting. You know,

258
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 2: one day he will get to a fifty point game.

259
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 2: I am convinced because he'll hit fifteen. But he was

260
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:06,560
Speaker 2: doing other things last night. He was like attacking, he

261
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:10,440
Speaker 2: was driving, he found a beautiful like flashing Porzingis tim

262
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 2: Ardoway Junior throwing a nice pass. What he had another

263
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 2: transition bucket like he was just like he is playing

264
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 2: next level right now. He's like become like like the

265
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 2: second or third star I guess for this team. Porzingis

266
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 2: actually had a decent game too. He had a deep bomb.

267
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,720
Speaker 2: But Maxi kleeber huge instrumental in this series too, of

268
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 2: just like I know Kawhi got a lot, but at

269
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 2: least he is a big guy that can sort of

270
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:34,200
Speaker 2: stick with him and maybe tire him out throughout a game.

271
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 2: And he gave them some offense to early Maxi Cleba

272
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 2: did and just like yeah, I mean like he's been phenomenal.

273
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 2: All these guys are playing above their heads, like and

274
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 2: is that Luca? Is that Rick Carlo instilling confidence in them.

275
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 2: Is that the Clippers defense. I'm sure it's a combination

276
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 2: of both, But yeah, why are we to believe they're

277
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 2: gonna play worse in Dallas? You're right, Trey, It's like

278
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 2: that place is going to be going insane first off,

279
00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 2: Like that building is gonna be going bonkers. I don't

280
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:01,960
Speaker 2: know what their capacity is tasked, but I'm sure it's

281
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:02,680
Speaker 2: pretty high there.

282
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:06,720
Speaker 7: Down the guy. Yeah, yeah, they've got fifteen thousand coming

283
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:07,440
Speaker 7: in for Game three.

284
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 2: Well, okay, there we go. That place is going to

285
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 2: be rocking. And yeah, the Clippers at this point just

286
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 2: feel like, well, we can't stop Luca. We don't know

287
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 2: what to do with him. Nobody can console him down.

288
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:21,719
Speaker 2: So they're just like crossing their fingers that all these

289
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 2: other guys are going to come up empty. And maybe

290
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:26,360
Speaker 2: they do, maybe a few of them do. But there's

291
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 2: enough of them, you know, with Jalen Brunson and Josh Richardson,

292
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 2: you know, I thought he had some clutch baskets in

293
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:33,200
Speaker 2: the fourth, hit some big free throw. Like, there's enough

294
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 2: of them that I still think in Game three, let's

295
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 2: say two three of these guys show up, because again

296
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:41,680
Speaker 2: Luca is just dissecting them.

297
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 1: It is.

298
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:44,840
Speaker 2: This is amazing. He is now, this is just a

299
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 2: fun stat. Players with seventy plus points, fifteen plus rebounds,

300
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 2: and fifteen plus assists total in their first two games

301
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 2: of a playoff series on the road. It's Luca versus

302
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:56,840
Speaker 2: the Clips, Lebron in the eighteen finals versus the Warriors,

303
00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 2: and Westbrook in the first round of twenty seventeen versus

304
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 2: the Rockets. That's it. That's both games on the road.

305
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:06,720
Speaker 7: Just to point that out again, and Alvin Kaccho brings

306
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:08,559
Speaker 7: up a very good point in the stream.

307
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:08,840
Speaker 6: Team.

308
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:11,080
Speaker 7: When Luca goes home to play in Dallas, it will

309
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 7: be his first home playoff game because he played in

310
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 7: the Bubble last year. They are going to be going

311
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 7: nuts for that guy. I just thought that this Clippers

312
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 7: team their mo O. What I know JD hates that

313
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 7: that phrase. Their modus opera, Randy, was the fact that

314
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 7: they were assholes, right. I mean the Kawhi Leonard was

315
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:34,520
Speaker 7: just allowing Luka doncic Uh to go over screens, so

316
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 7: Kawhi would drop down below screens in the first quarter

317
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 7: because there the recipe for success was let Luca shoot

318
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 7: that thing, and he was kicking ass Like I just

319
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 7: I just don't get the non fight in some of

320
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 7: those defensive plays. Well that's why if why can't do it, sure,

321
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 7: then we're like somebody else has to. I mean, Kawi

322
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 7: has a lot on his shoulders, uh, you know, being

323
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:02,240
Speaker 7: the number one offensive guy take turns. I mean I

324
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 7: think Paul George was a little lax, Like thirty seconds left,

325
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 7: he allows an offensive rebound, allows Kleiba to just climb

326
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 7: his back because it seemed like he was said Paul

327
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 7: George again. I mean, there just wasn't enough assholeness on

328
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 7: this team. And that's to me, just that scrappiness, like

329
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 7: the reason why there's I feel like there is a chance.

330
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 7: You know, I don't know where this sense of urgency

331
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 7: is with this team. I mean it is. It's bonkers

332
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 7: that they're down two oh, but you do have Kawhi

333
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 7: and Serge Ibaka in that locker room saying, hey, we

334
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 7: were down two oh to the Milwaukee Bucks just.

335
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 6: Two years ago.

336
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 7: Maybe we can do it, Maybe we can come back.

337
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 7: Maybe we can just get in their shorts. Like the

338
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 7: reason why they're shooting fifty eight percent from from the

339
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 7: floor and over fifty percent from three is because they're

340
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 7: not scrapping enough, like to just rattle that list of

341
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 7: guys of Tim Hardaway and Maxi Kleba and Jalen Brunson

342
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 7: and all the way, just you know, you have to

343
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 7: be a little bit more assholeness to bring up that

344
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 7: word for the billionth time. But like I saw Roger

345
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 7: and Rondo sitting on the scorer's table when Luka Doncic

346
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 7: was inbounding the ball with thirty seconds and he was

347
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 7: behind Scott Foster and Luka Doncic and Luca's like, this

348
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 7: guy's legs are hanging over the scorer's table.

349
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 6: Can can he move?

350
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 5: You know?

351
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 7: And he got a delay of game because he moved

352
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 7: his legs really slowly. It was like, that's just classic Rondo.

353
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 7: But I just feel that's an example of them being jerks.

354
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 7: And I think that there it is somewhere in there

355
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 7: like are they gonna implode or are they gonna fight?

356
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 7: They did fight somewhat in this game, but uh, they

357
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 7: got to take it to another level. And I don't

358
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 7: know that home court man, if they they could go

359
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 7: down three to zero, you know, Dirk is on the

360
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 7: road in the crowd in this case, right, like he's

361
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 7: gonna be there in Dallas. It is going to be bonkers.

362
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 7: Are they going to fight? You know, we always bring

363
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 7: it up. We bring it up like like Lee's brought

364
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 7: it up. Do they fight back from adversity? That's the

365
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 7: question with these.

366
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 2: Why would we ever think this team will That's the problem.

367
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 2: Kawhi played like terminator Raptors Kawhi last night. Definitely in

368
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 2: his defense, he was still he was still getting lit

369
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 2: up by Luca when he was matched up on him.

370
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:56,720
Speaker 2: But no one was stopping Luca right now. But yeah,

371
00:16:56,800 --> 00:17:00,680
Speaker 2: offensively unbelievable. That was That was that wash backs for me,

372
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 2: tasked to like wow, the twenty nineteen run where it's

373
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:06,240
Speaker 2: just like, holy shit, this guy does not want to

374
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 2: lose this game.

375
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 8: Now.

376
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:10,159
Speaker 2: Unfortunately Luca was thinking the same thing. But who else

377
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:14,520
Speaker 2: like maybe, I mean maybe sir, but I think Tyler

378
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:17,240
Speaker 2: doesn't even know who to play he is throwing I

379
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 2: think A Simmons said it on his podcast when he's

380
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:19,679
Speaker 2: just throwing shit.

381
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 6: At the wall.

382
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 2: He's like, all right here, okay, Terrence, Terrence man, you

383
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:25,840
Speaker 2: know got to run there suddenly, Okay, you know, Batoomb's

384
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:29,919
Speaker 2: got chances. Obviously, Zubat's abaka. Reggie Jackson's played actually okay

385
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:32,439
Speaker 2: for them. Morris was hitting some threes, but he's just

386
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 2: like everybody's getting all these he doesn't have like an

387
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:37,399
Speaker 2: actual like seven or eighth that he trusts at all.

388
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 2: So I don't know what the the answer is here, Leely,

389
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 2: you're about to jump in, and task was talking and

390
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:42,440
Speaker 2: what we're gonna.

391
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:44,679
Speaker 4: Say, Well, just sign talking about that fighting through screens.

392
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 4: When Luca wants Patrick Beverly on the switch, he just

393
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:48,280
Speaker 4: walks there and picks him up.

394
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:51,200
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, I get switch they want every single time, Yeah,

395
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:51,960
Speaker 8: every single time.

396
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:54,640
Speaker 2: Yeah. And the control he's just like, okay, well we're

397
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 2: gonna do that.

398
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:55,200
Speaker 6: Yeah.

399
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:57,720
Speaker 4: I mean he's playing like no, like people aren't saying now,

400
00:17:57,720 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 4: I'm gonna fight out of the screen and stay with

401
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 4: Luca Luke because Luca's not that super quick guy who

402
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:03,920
Speaker 4: just gets to his spot. He just walks there, says

403
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 4: you're on me now, and Beverly's like, yeah, I want this,

404
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:08,439
Speaker 4: and then he just goes in and scores. And then

405
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 4: at the end you could see Beverley actually tried to

406
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:12,360
Speaker 4: run away from that switch on one of the possessions

407
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:14,359
Speaker 4: late because he was like, no, no, thanks, guys, I

408
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:17,359
Speaker 4: don't want this. So Patrick Beverley started last night. I

409
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 4: wonder if he does maybe just throw Reggie Jackson into

410
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:22,720
Speaker 4: that starting lineup because I think Reggie's a better offensive

411
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 4: player and I don't think you lose a thing defensively

412
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:27,879
Speaker 4: because of what Patrick Beverley's given them so far, and

413
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 4: they need something, they need something different, and it's not

414
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 4: coming from Patrick Beverly. So yeah, I think I think

415
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 4: Tyler also said Terrence Man is going to get more

416
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:40,880
Speaker 4: minutes in the next game hard Yeah, exactly exactly. That's

417
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 4: all that's better than what they're getting so far. So

418
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:46,399
Speaker 4: you know that's a risk still because he's an inexperienced player.

419
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 4: But if someone's going to go out there and fight

420
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 4: and scrap, that's what they need right now.

421
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:52,080
Speaker 8: The key in Game three is going to be the

422
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:54,080
Speaker 8: mental game, because, like we're saying, it's going to be

423
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:57,240
Speaker 8: crazy Luca's first playoff game in Dallas. Crowd's going to

424
00:18:57,320 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 8: be rocking, and you know the Clippers are going to

425
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:01,479
Speaker 8: try and pull some off, whether it be Marcus Morris

426
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:03,760
Speaker 8: or Patrick Beverley, They're going to try and get underneath

427
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:05,960
Speaker 8: the Mavericks skin. At this point because they're losing on

428
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:07,600
Speaker 8: the court, so maybe if they can take him out

429
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 8: of their game, that would be beneficial to LA. So yeah,

430
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:14,080
Speaker 8: it's you know, we've seen Luca be a bit of

431
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:18,199
Speaker 8: a temper boy during the regular season. Surely they're going

432
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:20,160
Speaker 8: to try and pull some shit with him. So he's

433
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:22,200
Speaker 8: got to keep it cool and continue to perform out

434
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:23,160
Speaker 8: there and stay on the court.

435
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 2: Let me give you the stat. Only thirty one teams

436
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 2: in NBA history have won the first two games of

437
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 2: a best of seven series on the road, and twenty

438
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 2: seven of them went on to win the series. So

439
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:36,400
Speaker 2: four have come back. Four have been in the position

440
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:38,639
Speaker 2: that the Clippers are in right now and managed to

441
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 2: pull out that.

442
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:42,680
Speaker 3: One of them against McGrady.

443
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:45,960
Speaker 2: That's probably right. Yeah, yeah, back in the day, that

444
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:47,679
Speaker 2: sounds right lely. If you want to fact check that

445
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:50,159
Speaker 2: and you know, start typing on Basketball Reference, go nuts.

446
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:52,120
Speaker 6: You know what about that bulls Celtic, Yeah.

447
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 2: One comes to mind. So yeah, so we'll see. You know,

448
00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:59,200
Speaker 2: we don't need, I don't think yet to start doing

449
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 2: the whole Well, what does this mean for the Clippers?

450
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:03,919
Speaker 2: You know, in the offseason, what does this mean for

451
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 2: Kawhi is he staying there? They do? They have to

452
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:08,680
Speaker 2: move on from like a poultry. They have to blow

453
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 2: it up, you know, they don't have any picks. Like,

454
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:13,439
Speaker 2: let's just save that, I think because we got some

455
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:16,000
Speaker 2: more games here to talk about, but not looking good

456
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 2: an existential crisis here for the clips. There's lot five

457
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 2: straight up playoff games dating back to a last postseason,

458
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:24,399
Speaker 2: so in a bit of a run. Anything else to

459
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:27,240
Speaker 2: add to that game? When did you guys watch this game?

460
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 2: By the way, I watched it this morning because of

461
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:30,520
Speaker 2: this weird overlap we had.

462
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:32,880
Speaker 8: Going on with the brutality starting the game, the two

463
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 8: best games a half an hour apart from each other.

464
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:39,520
Speaker 8: It was tough to watch, especially considering Lakers versus Suns.

465
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:41,480
Speaker 5: You had to watch that one as well. That was

466
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:41,919
Speaker 5: a banger.

467
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just refused to like get into the like

468
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 2: going back and forth to the point where now I'm

469
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 2: not watching anything all that close. So I walked into Yeah,

470
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:53,880
Speaker 2: Sun's Lakers last night and then watched this one this morning,

471
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 2: which was actually entertaining even knowing the outcome. I actually

472
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:58,639
Speaker 2: think that's sometimes even more fun for so many reason,

473
00:20:58,680 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 2: like how is this going to come about?

474
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 4: Brendon Heywood great on the call, by the way. Yeah,

475
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:04,480
Speaker 4: he should get way more games. He's really good because

476
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 4: he just brings like some experience. Uh and he just talked.

477
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:09,720
Speaker 4: He just tells like it is. I really enjoyed him

478
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 4: and Joel Myers there last night.

479
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:14,880
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Joel Myers man, that deep voice, the love

480
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:19,200
Speaker 2: of dogsating from his He needs some dog. He wants

481
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 2: to see some dogs, and the Clippers got to have

482
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:25,639
Speaker 2: a dog. Joe Myers loves dogs. Everyone, but it's just

483
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 2: a fact we know about him. We've met him before.

484
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 2: He's an awesome guy, so now everybody knows he loves dogs.

485
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:34,160
Speaker 2: First question he asked is like, you got a dog?

486
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:37,000
Speaker 2: Trust a man with a dog. And I didn't have

487
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:38,480
Speaker 2: a dog at the time. I think he hated me.

488
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 8: He'd love me now that's why he got one, right, Yeah, exactly,

489
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:45,760
Speaker 8: next time I see him.

490
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:49,920
Speaker 2: Let's move on to the other LA team had a

491
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 2: bit of a better night there on Tuesday night. Anthony Davison,

492
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:55,640
Speaker 2: the Lakers bounce back to beat the Suns one O nine,

493
00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:59,399
Speaker 2: one O two in Game two. Tasks big takeaway from

494
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:00,960
Speaker 2: this Lakers victory over the.

495
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:03,720
Speaker 7: Suns, Well, the Lakers obviously came out with a little

496
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 7: more oomph, knowing they had to tie this series, and

497
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 7: it started with their best player, Anthony Davis. Yeah, Anthony

498
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 7: Davis is their best player right now. Lebron is saving

499
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:16,160
Speaker 7: it for a little later, just like last year's finals.

500
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:17,760
Speaker 7: We'll get let me get to Lebron in a sect.

501
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 7: But let's start with Antony Davis because she came out aggressive.

502
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:21,960
Speaker 5: He shot twenty one free.

503
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:23,880
Speaker 7: Throws, but didn't feel like that to me. I felt

504
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 7: like it was just you know, in the flow, right.

505
00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 7: But but he got his second foul with nine minutes

506
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:34,639
Speaker 7: left in the first quarter, and the Sons missed a

507
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 7: golden opportunity to take him out of the game. I

508
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 7: don't know how he plays another five minutes on the

509
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:42,400
Speaker 7: floor without the Suns going after over and over. It's

510
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:44,760
Speaker 7: a great call by Frank Vogel, But I mean, Devin

511
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 7: Booker had him on a switch just like thirty seconds

512
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:49,439
Speaker 7: after he got his second foul, but he just passed

513
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 7: out of it. Book passed out of it. It was nuts

514
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:55,160
Speaker 7: and ad ended up playing forty minutes and scoring thirty

515
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:57,879
Speaker 7: four points. So an opportunity missed there, I think for

516
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 7: the Suns in a game where they stayed in it

517
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:05,080
Speaker 7: despite Chris Paul not looking like himself what at all?

518
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:06,800
Speaker 7: I mean he had He played twenty three minutes, he

519
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 7: scored six points. This could have been a blow it

520
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:11,800
Speaker 7: if it wasn't for Campaign coming off to the bench.

521
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:15,000
Speaker 7: What a great performance by him as a backup guard.

522
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:17,200
Speaker 7: Just a few years ago, nearly out of the league,

523
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:21,919
Speaker 7: traded from the Thunder, he was Russell Westbrook's dance partner.

524
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 7: He was traded for Taj Gibson to the Chicago Bulls,

525
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:28,720
Speaker 7: and the Bulls looked like they lost that trade because

526
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:31,199
Speaker 7: Taj Gibson played for two months for the Thunder, but

527
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:32,960
Speaker 7: it looked like Campaign was out of the league. Anyways,

528
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 7: Campaign saved it. They're down one with four minutes left.

529
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:39,000
Speaker 7: This was a real tight game down the stretch. But yeah,

530
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:41,159
Speaker 7: the Lakers just picked apart the Suns late. They did

531
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 7: a good job of getting the ball out of Devin

532
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:45,879
Speaker 7: Booker's hands, even though you know he had a thirty

533
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:49,240
Speaker 7: one point night. They decided let everybody else beat us,

534
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:52,000
Speaker 7: especially with Chris Paul, you know, not one hundred percent,

535
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:56,560
Speaker 7: and it worked. And you know, Lebron has never ever

536
00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:58,359
Speaker 7: gone down two in a series.

537
00:23:59,160 --> 00:23:59,880
Speaker 2: In the first round.

538
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:02,720
Speaker 7: In the first round, and he had his team, yeah,

539
00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:07,920
Speaker 7: ready to go, and I think you know, all the

540
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:11,160
Speaker 7: entire roster was ready to play. They got great performances.

541
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:14,120
Speaker 7: But I think Lebron is he's showing us he's human

542
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:16,240
Speaker 7: because he is saving his body for later on in

543
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:19,720
Speaker 7: the series. Because that that monstrous frame, the locomotive as

544
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 7: we've all called him forever. He only had three of

545
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:25,480
Speaker 7: his sixteen shots in the lane. He just wasn't driving really,

546
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:29,159
Speaker 7: and two of those were just big dunks, one fast

547
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:31,080
Speaker 7: one fast break and one alley fast break.

548
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:33,320
Speaker 2: Only he got up on that. Oh holy yeah shit

549
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:34,280
Speaker 2: he did.

550
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:34,639
Speaker 5: He did.

551
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:38,080
Speaker 2: Look okay, Ankle's looking all right, but he's not driving. No, no,

552
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:38,440
Speaker 2: you're right.

553
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:42,040
Speaker 7: He only he only drove into Dario sarch once and

554
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:44,520
Speaker 7: shot one free throw in this game. His other thirteen

555
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:46,960
Speaker 7: shots were outside the lane, nine threes in this game,

556
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:49,400
Speaker 7: So I think he's he's saving it. Only eighteen points

557
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 7: and twenty three points in the first two games, so

558
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:55,119
Speaker 7: Anthony Davis was really the key. But it's nice to

559
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:57,639
Speaker 7: be a number one guy and just kind of, you know,

560
00:24:57,760 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 7: give it to the other guy, like like it wasn't

561
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:03,159
Speaker 7: finals and Lebron will come on when when needed, but

562
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:05,359
Speaker 7: he didn't need to really drive in this game because

563
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:08,200
Speaker 7: up and down the roster, Andre Drammon, all these guys,

564
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:10,960
Speaker 7: they really showed up. So a great performance and it

565
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:13,480
Speaker 7: sucks to see Chris Paul out. Yeah, are we having

566
00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 7: flashbacks of Warriors rockets where Chris Paul went out, because

567
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:19,280
Speaker 7: you know, if we have one hundred percent Chris Paul

568
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:22,560
Speaker 7: with a great Phoenix arena, it was a fun game.

569
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 6: Uh, maybe they get to win.

570
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:26,440
Speaker 2: Oh, it's even like worse when you consider he was

571
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:29,200
Speaker 2: healthy all season for the Suns. With Chris Paul now

572
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:31,600
Speaker 2: in this the bump shoulder and how it happened to

573
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 2: you know, colligning on his own guy there in game one,

574
00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:35,920
Speaker 2: and Marty Williams said it was his decision to keep

575
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:38,360
Speaker 2: him out right for a majority of that second half

576
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:40,200
Speaker 2: because we only played seven minutes in the second half.

577
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:43,439
Speaker 2: We only had one point to assist and like you

578
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:45,439
Speaker 2: said to us, this game was still close and we

579
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:50,520
Speaker 2: can I actually think oddly, this was like a good

580
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:53,439
Speaker 2: win I guess for this sorry, a good loss for

581
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:56,359
Speaker 2: the Suns in a way that they like made it.

582
00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:58,640
Speaker 2: They were in it, They fought because they went down

583
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 2: earl there in the third quarter, I thought like, oh,

584
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:03,359
Speaker 2: this is going to be blowout central, and you know,

585
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:05,639
Speaker 2: looked like the Lakers were gonna pull away comfortably and

586
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:07,440
Speaker 2: the Suns clawed the way back. Camp Johnson hit a

587
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 2: bunch of threes campaign like you said, was I thought,

588
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:11,720
Speaker 2: really spectacular in the third and fourth quarters there. Crowder

589
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:13,760
Speaker 2: finally hit a three there on the four point play

590
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:15,640
Speaker 2: he had Eaten dunk, and they took the lead right

591
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 2: at one point with like five or six minutes ago.

592
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:20,879
Speaker 2: So like, again a good loss. That sounds stupid, but

593
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:23,119
Speaker 2: they showed some fight there, especially without Chris Paul. But

594
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:26,720
Speaker 2: Anthony Davis Leley, you know, after game one he said,

595
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:28,640
Speaker 2: I gotta be better, Like that was pathetic. I got

596
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:31,760
Speaker 2: my ass outplayed by Eaton And I thought right from

597
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:33,720
Speaker 2: the jump, like there was a first play of the game.

598
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:36,159
Speaker 2: I think it was like a little transition from the Lakers.

599
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:38,720
Speaker 2: He just went and like put his ass like two

600
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 2: feet from the rim, and they threw him the ball

601
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:43,119
Speaker 2: and Crowder got that foul like right away, and it

602
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:45,760
Speaker 2: was like, oh, yeah, he's gonna like put his impact

603
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:47,960
Speaker 2: on this game right away. And then he kicked Crowder

604
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 2: in the nuts after that, Yeah, crowd had got there

605
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:51,639
Speaker 2: throws for him.

606
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:53,040
Speaker 5: Yeah that's awesome.

607
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:55,399
Speaker 4: Yeah, but crowded having picked up a fowl already was

608
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:58,680
Speaker 4: way too close. I thought anyway, on that you got

609
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:00,080
Speaker 4: to give him a little bit of room. That it

610
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:01,960
Speaker 4: was only like a minute into the game or something.

611
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:05,439
Speaker 4: And but that kick in the nuts, oh goodness me,

612
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 4: the slowma of that was just why could have.

613
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:13,520
Speaker 2: Done without Reggie Miller and Horoland saying bulls? They kept

614
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:19,320
Speaker 2: saying bulls, like the tip of his deck is the bulls.

615
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:26,160
Speaker 2: That's enough read for the get go thirty four or ten,

616
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:30,119
Speaker 2: you know, the three blocks and Steel.

617
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:32,360
Speaker 4: Got a good block early on Devin Booker going into

618
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:34,960
Speaker 4: the lane there too. Yeah, this was this was such

619
00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:38,160
Speaker 4: a Lebron like you know, first game, Yeah, second game,

620
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:40,439
Speaker 4: just completely dominate as much as can. It wasn't just

621
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:42,680
Speaker 4: him as their bigs. I thought Andre Drummond was much

622
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:45,160
Speaker 4: better in this game. And Marksol came off the bench

623
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:47,439
Speaker 4: and hit a couple of three pointers and that's something

624
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 4: their size, you know, which is not usually the way

625
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:52,879
Speaker 4: teams are playing these days. But in this series, the

626
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:54,719
Speaker 4: Sons just can't sort of match, you know, if you're

627
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 4: Frank Foger, you can rotate a couple of those guys.

628
00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:58,439
Speaker 4: We've seen him at times play two of those guys

629
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:00,920
Speaker 4: a lot throughout the season, so that could be another

630
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:03,960
Speaker 4: advantage here for the Lakers. But the biggest concern is

631
00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:07,520
Speaker 4: Chris Paul. He's he I mean, he may even missed

632
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:11,159
Speaker 4: Game three because when he's out the court, no, no,

633
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:13,520
Speaker 4: And that's the problem is that he's trying to sort

634
00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:15,879
Speaker 4: of protect it. You know, he only took I think

635
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:19,480
Speaker 4: four shots hit one mid ranger, but he just can't

636
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:22,159
Speaker 4: He's got no confidence in shooting the ball. So and

637
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:24,320
Speaker 4: if Monty Williams in Game two of a playoff series

638
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:25,679
Speaker 4: is like, I can't even have him out on the

639
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:27,720
Speaker 4: court because he's just not one hundred percent. So I'm

640
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:28,680
Speaker 4: not sure what they do here.

641
00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:29,720
Speaker 3: It's a it's.

642
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:33,679
Speaker 4: A horrible, horrible story because this was shaping up to

643
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:36,160
Speaker 4: be an incredible series, but gone to LA now having

644
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:38,800
Speaker 4: to win at least one. I think that's even going

645
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:41,400
Speaker 4: to be too tough here for the Sun. So I'm

646
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:44,480
Speaker 4: optimistic that the thinking now I keep it close enough,

647
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:47,840
Speaker 4: But man, Anthony Davis last night, it's just like, yeah,

648
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:49,440
Speaker 4: that was a nice game one. I hope you enjoyed

649
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:52,480
Speaker 4: that victory, Phoenix, but it's my series from here on out.

650
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:54,640
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think we got a douchebag sweep on our

651
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 8: hands here, especially if Chris Paul isn't able to go

652
00:28:57,280 --> 00:28:59,120
Speaker 8: and maybe even if he was, because I think the

653
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:02,680
Speaker 8: Lakers can go to another level defensively. Campaign was roasting him,

654
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:05,000
Speaker 8: no doubt in the fourth quarter. But I think KCP

655
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:09,000
Speaker 8: shrewder Caruso can go up another level there. And you

656
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:12,000
Speaker 8: see that last you know, minute and a half basically

657
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:15,120
Speaker 8: from Lebron and AD Lebron hits a turnaround. He's honestly

658
00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:18,400
Speaker 8: getting to late Michael Jordan levels with his turnaround, Like, yeah,

659
00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:20,000
Speaker 8: he's not driving to the lane at all right now,

660
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:22,400
Speaker 8: but that's because his jumper is money. Hit four threes

661
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:25,680
Speaker 8: last night, AD hit a three, Shruder gets a steal off.

662
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:28,240
Speaker 8: Campaign ad hits free throws as a quick seven to

663
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:31,720
Speaker 8: zero run with a minute left in about a minute,

664
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:33,960
Speaker 8: with under four minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, and

665
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:36,360
Speaker 8: that was the game right there. Twenty one free throws

666
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:39,320
Speaker 8: for Anthony Davis. Like we're saying shout out to DeAndre

667
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:41,600
Speaker 8: a and actually be able to compete with him, stay.

668
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 5: On the court. I thought he played pretty well, like.

669
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:47,640
Speaker 8: You're saying, Lee, Drummond and Gasol both had pretty solid

670
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:50,600
Speaker 8: contributions for the Lakers as big guys. But this is

671
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:53,800
Speaker 8: gonna be Lebron's first playoff game in LA with LA

672
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:57,080
Speaker 8: fans in Game three, which is pretty crazy to think

673
00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 8: about considering they played it in the Bubble last year

674
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:01,200
Speaker 8: and Lebron and the Lake didn't make the playoffs his

675
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:04,600
Speaker 8: first season, So I don't know if Chris Paul's not

676
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:07,760
Speaker 8: able to go. This is a big lift for Devin Booker,

677
00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:09,800
Speaker 8: and you still got to hope that DeAndre Aidan can

678
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:12,440
Speaker 8: kind of match what Anthony Davis has been giving to

679
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:16,360
Speaker 8: the Lakers, and obviously he's rounding into form here. Scary

680
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:17,320
Speaker 8: times for the Suns.

681
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, DeAndre twenty two to ten on eleven and thirteen shooting,

682
00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:23,720
Speaker 2: he was like super efficient again, what do you think, Tess?

683
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:25,120
Speaker 2: Is this douchebag sweep to you?

684
00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:25,520
Speaker 6: You know?

685
00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 2: Can the Suns? You know, I know Chris Paul's injury

686
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:31,440
Speaker 2: and his status is the huge question mark. But let's

687
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:34,120
Speaker 2: say he's out for Let's say he's out for both games.

688
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:36,240
Speaker 2: I don't know for in La. Can can the Sons

689
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:37,280
Speaker 2: win any of them without him.

690
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:38,680
Speaker 6: It's tough.

691
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:42,360
Speaker 7: But I got a little belief in Devin Booker bounce

692
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:44,280
Speaker 7: back game. And I know you have thirty one, but

693
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:47,080
Speaker 7: more than half of those were from the free throw line.

694
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 6: I think he can he can just fire away a

695
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:51,040
Speaker 6: little bit more.

696
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:53,360
Speaker 7: I think, Mani'll do a better job of getting him

697
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:56,200
Speaker 7: open and getting him some actual looks, some actual shots.

698
00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:58,240
Speaker 6: So I'm not I you know, know.

699
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:01,720
Speaker 7: Chris Paul's that's tough. Asking campaign to be a starter

700
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:04,480
Speaker 7: in the playoffs, that's that would be a lot, I

701
00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:07,840
Speaker 7: would imagine. I can't imagine Chris Paul not playing, though.

702
00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:10,120
Speaker 7: I think he'll be out there even as a decoy,

703
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:16,160
Speaker 7: and that that's better than asking campaign to start. So yeah,

704
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:18,080
Speaker 7: I can't get any worse for Chris Paul, right, Like,

705
00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:20,240
Speaker 7: you know, he only hit a couple shots in this game,

706
00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:21,960
Speaker 7: didn't want to take them, didn't want to take them

707
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:26,000
Speaker 7: from his spot, which is, you know, weird to watch.

708
00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:29,080
Speaker 6: But I like those arm bandages. You know, those were

709
00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 6: like stylish. Those were it was.

710
00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:34,720
Speaker 2: Almost like, yeah, it looks like a reptile of most

711
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:35,120
Speaker 2: or something.

712
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:38,000
Speaker 7: Yeah, I thought it was a baroque pattern, you know,

713
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:41,600
Speaker 7: like everybody likes having on their wall, those those cool

714
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 7: wall wallpapers. I thought that was on the straps, so

715
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:47,520
Speaker 7: those are sweet. I think we'll see him in game three.

716
00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:48,760
Speaker 7: This is what I'm trying to get at.

717
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 2: Jeez. I mean, he'll gun it out, but like if

718
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:54,600
Speaker 2: you can't play with his one arm to either shoot

719
00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:56,960
Speaker 2: the ball or even pass the ball or dribble the

720
00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:59,440
Speaker 2: ball like we saw in Game one, like had the

721
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:01,560
Speaker 2: worst hand I can ever remember, Chris Paul Haavy because

722
00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:03,920
Speaker 2: he only has one arm, I don't know. And then

723
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:06,320
Speaker 2: you're playing the best, you know, defensive team in the league,

724
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:07,800
Speaker 2: and the Lakers with a lot of guys like Trey

725
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:09,720
Speaker 2: said that you can put pressure on the on the wing.

726
00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:12,880
Speaker 2: So this sucks. And like it's just again like so

727
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:14,760
Speaker 2: now the shoulder, I went through it the other day, right,

728
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:18,240
Speaker 2: I mean you had the hamstring issues before. There's a

729
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:20,560
Speaker 2: couple other injuries that I'm drawing a blank on right now.

730
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:22,480
Speaker 2: It's it's like you go look at Chris Paul's like

731
00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:26,120
Speaker 2: postseason runs always something that just you know, he's just

732
00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:28,920
Speaker 2: sneaked bit every single time. So well, see, I still

733
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:32,360
Speaker 2: have a little belief in the Suns here because I

734
00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:34,200
Speaker 2: that gave me a lot of promise there that that

735
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:38,120
Speaker 2: not folding, rolling over and dying there in last night game,

736
00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 2: because I think a lot of teams would have in

737
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:41,800
Speaker 2: that situation, but they didn't. So I think we still

738
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:43,600
Speaker 2: have a series. Hopefully we still have serious all right,

739
00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:46,520
Speaker 2: we definitely don't have a series in the Eastern Conference.

740
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:49,480
Speaker 2: Not this one, Trey You're gonna get started the Nets baby,

741
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:52,600
Speaker 2: Joe Harris hitting seven threes. They crushed the Celtics one

742
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:55,160
Speaker 2: thirty to one oh eight for the two to oh

743
00:32:55,880 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 2: series lead. What's your takeaway from from the.

744
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:03,720
Speaker 8: One, Well, Skeets, we had some great basketball over the weekend,

745
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:07,640
Speaker 8: a lot of great game ones on that Saturday and Sunday.

746
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:09,640
Speaker 8: Unfortunately we had to pay it back a little bit

747
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:13,920
Speaker 8: getting our blowouts in. Yeah, Nets didn't play very well

748
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:16,760
Speaker 8: in Game one. They played a pretty solid second half.

749
00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:20,280
Speaker 8: Game two, though, they just straight up smacked the Celtics

750
00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:23,480
Speaker 8: forty in the first quarter. For Brooklyn, Joe Harris hit

751
00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:26,920
Speaker 8: four threes. He had sixteen in the first quarter. James

752
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:29,760
Speaker 8: Harden hit two three pointers to start the second quarter

753
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 8: and the game was over All. Five Nets starters were

754
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:35,960
Speaker 8: in double figures. Katie led the way with twenty six

755
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:39,040
Speaker 8: Joe Harris ended up twenty five twenty for James Harden,

756
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:43,160
Speaker 8: sixteen for Kyrie irving light work, and Jason Tatum only

757
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:45,160
Speaker 8: played twenty one minutes in this because he got poked

758
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:49,480
Speaker 8: in the eye. Looking sweep see looking sweepsy around here, Skeezington.

759
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:52,440
Speaker 8: There's a little bit of intrigue with Kyrie heading back

760
00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:56,160
Speaker 8: to Boston. There's certainly a chance that the Celtics could

761
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:58,240
Speaker 8: catch fire, maybe the Nets lose interest.

762
00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:00,720
Speaker 5: But it's over, It's over.

763
00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:04,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, should this should? Should they have just called this

764
00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:07,080
Speaker 2: game at halftime? Lely just said, all right, that's around.

765
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:11,600
Speaker 4: Well I did so, yeah. No, you know, look, you're

766
00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:13,080
Speaker 4: trying to you're trying to sort of look at a

767
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:14,800
Speaker 4: game like this. I think, how can I analyze it?

768
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:16,480
Speaker 4: How can I sort of bring something to it? But

769
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:18,640
Speaker 4: it's there's not much to zoom. They're already of that.

770
00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:23,319
Speaker 4: Jalen Brown, Jason Tatum, he's done too. And look, if

771
00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:25,040
Speaker 4: you're the if you're the Celtic, you say, look, we

772
00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:27,719
Speaker 4: kept Harden and Kyrie to only thirty five points last night.

773
00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:28,720
Speaker 3: That's pretty good.

774
00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:31,600
Speaker 4: You're trying to find jokes, you're trying to brighten the mood,

775
00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:36,120
Speaker 4: but this one will only be not a sweet Honestly,

776
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:37,120
Speaker 4: if the Nets Just.

777
00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:38,919
Speaker 2: Friends sevens has never told a joke.

778
00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:42,840
Speaker 4: I mean Blake Griffins, Blake Griffin's throwing down you know,

779
00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:45,560
Speaker 4: a hot dog type dunks out there last night.

780
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:49,399
Speaker 3: I don't know, it's just like, no, there.

781
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:51,240
Speaker 2: Was a tweet going around last week. Can the city

782
00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:57,440
Speaker 2: of Detroit soue blinker? I mean two pretty dame ducks?

783
00:34:57,520 --> 00:35:00,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean it's just this is.

784
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:02,320
Speaker 3: I saw one of the dads this morning who's a

785
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:03,040
Speaker 3: Celtics fan.

786
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:05,760
Speaker 4: Oh, boy, just shook his head as we walked past

787
00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:07,440
Speaker 4: last night of school as well, so I won't see

788
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:09,920
Speaker 4: him again. He was just not in the mood to

789
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:12,320
Speaker 4: even talk about it this morning. It's like fair enough,

790
00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:14,600
Speaker 4: you know, there's not much to say. There really isn't

791
00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:15,920
Speaker 4: anything to say out of this one.

792
00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:19,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, they're here. Are my observations for this game.

793
00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:21,439
Speaker 2: I got long, you go nuts.

794
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:23,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, don't worry, I won't take long.

795
00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:26,000
Speaker 7: Kevin Durant takes the jump ball at center over Blake

796
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:27,080
Speaker 7: Griffin to start the game.

797
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:28,160
Speaker 6: It's interesting.

798
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:32,640
Speaker 7: Oh there's sun shining through a window onto the court.

799
00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:35,719
Speaker 7: If you remember they highlighted that during the game. I

800
00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:38,640
Speaker 7: wonder if jay Z designed that when he designed the arena.

801
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:41,839
Speaker 7: Is that is that so the Celtics are shooting into

802
00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:45,360
Speaker 7: the sunlight and Celtics were shooting on that end. That's interesting.

803
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:48,480
Speaker 7: Maybe that factors in later on this series. No, the

804
00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:50,840
Speaker 7: only thing I want out of this series is for

805
00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:54,399
Speaker 7: this game to be buried, like while we're having these

806
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:56,800
Speaker 7: three game nights, to have another game on at the

807
00:35:56,800 --> 00:36:00,279
Speaker 7: same time so you don't really have to watch. And

808
00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:03,399
Speaker 7: that's what's happening on Friday night. There's another game on

809
00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:04,239
Speaker 7: while this one is on.

810
00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:06,360
Speaker 3: Is it on NBA TV? Then got to get this

811
00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:08,560
Speaker 3: one on NBA TV, It's on ABC.

812
00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:12,160
Speaker 7: Well, the other two games are on ESPN. No, the

813
00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:15,160
Speaker 7: other two games are on ESPN, which is rare Seven

814
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:19,520
Speaker 7: Nicks Hawks and then on ESPN and then Net Celtics, ABC.

815
00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:23,600
Speaker 3: And ESPN just mix it up.

816
00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:25,399
Speaker 4: Rather than have their nights, why don't they just say

817
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:30,640
Speaker 4: all right, listen because last night as well. Maybe maybe

818
00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:33,200
Speaker 4: there's an argument for a tn T game there for

819
00:36:33,239 --> 00:36:35,040
Speaker 4: the for the Net Celtics last night game too, but

820
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:36,880
Speaker 4: for the two games on last night, you can't have

821
00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:38,840
Speaker 4: one on NBA TV. If you're going to have if

822
00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:40,319
Speaker 4: they're going to own the same time. Put one on

823
00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:43,319
Speaker 4: ESPN and one on TV T yes, I mean you

824
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:43,880
Speaker 4: know where.

825
00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:44,400
Speaker 3: They can flex.

826
00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:46,399
Speaker 4: They can just call each other up and say, listen,

827
00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:50,239
Speaker 4: do we really want to put Luka Doncic on NBA TV. No,

828
00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:52,360
Speaker 4: we don't get him on ESPN. I don't know what

829
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:54,840
Speaker 4: ESPN had on last night, probably baseball.

830
00:36:55,920 --> 00:36:57,400
Speaker 6: That come on.

831
00:36:57,760 --> 00:36:59,960
Speaker 4: They got to work together. I mean they always promoted

832
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:01,759
Speaker 4: each other as well. They say, oh coming up, you know,

833
00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:04,640
Speaker 4: they say coming out in ESPN's morn I announced the schedule.

834
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:06,600
Speaker 4: So that just needs to be better coordination.

835
00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:07,160
Speaker 3: I think.

836
00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:10,600
Speaker 2: Well, I also, you know, while we're doing the old

837
00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:13,680
Speaker 2: man yells at Clouds room, I would just like them

838
00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:17,440
Speaker 2: to decide when they say in the in the schedule

839
00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:20,880
Speaker 2: on NBA dot com, game starts at seven thirty. Yes,

840
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:24,360
Speaker 2: are we sing starting at seven thirty or are we

841
00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:27,040
Speaker 2: starting at quarter to eight, ten to eight?

842
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:27,920
Speaker 5: Which one is it?

843
00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:30,960
Speaker 8: Because they can you know how the stream team feels

844
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:33,880
Speaker 8: at ten eastern.

845
00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:35,640
Speaker 5: We're always again.

846
00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:38,200
Speaker 2: No, we're consistent. We're always a good four or five

847
00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:39,560
Speaker 2: minutes later point.

848
00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:40,840
Speaker 5: We're always at ten seven.

849
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:44,280
Speaker 2: But this I mean, I honestly I saw the seven

850
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:45,960
Speaker 2: thirty I had things going on. I was like, that's

851
00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:49,000
Speaker 2: all right, I'll fire it up at seven forty five.

852
00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:52,440
Speaker 2: There's always ten or fifteen minutes before these things. And

853
00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:54,279
Speaker 2: I did that, and I'm like, but it was like,

854
00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:56,640
Speaker 2: you know, the game was over, that's we're up big.

855
00:37:56,719 --> 00:37:59,160
Speaker 2: I was like, oh, awesome, My god. I mean, I

856
00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:01,080
Speaker 2: don't I think it is like this. I know it

857
00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:03,360
Speaker 2: has to do with the second game where that's being played.

858
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:06,000
Speaker 2: It has to do with its TNT or ESPN because

859
00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:08,160
Speaker 2: they like to like flip flop how much of a

860
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:11,960
Speaker 2: pregame they have. But test, it's frustrating. Man, Just tell me,

861
00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:15,480
Speaker 2: just actually, just tell me tip time. That's all.

862
00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:18,080
Speaker 3: Just the tip, just the tip, just the.

863
00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:21,399
Speaker 2: Tip, just like the tip of J. Crowner's penis. Yeah,

864
00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:22,400
Speaker 2: give me the bullseye.

865
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:25,880
Speaker 6: Nice kick, god, yeah yeah.

866
00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:29,320
Speaker 7: Like, why why don't we have on like a Twitter

867
00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:32,840
Speaker 7: account Anthony Davis, Like he kicked J Crowder in the

868
00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:37,719
Speaker 7: junk yesterday. We have a video of him kicking the

869
00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:39,840
Speaker 7: start time for the game, you know, like a visual

870
00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:43,160
Speaker 7: it's seven thirty seven, thirty five seven. I often see

871
00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:46,160
Speaker 7: a reporter, like when the Bucks hosted the Heat on

872
00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:49,320
Speaker 7: Monday Night, it was Eric name of the Athletics. He tweeted,

873
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:51,919
Speaker 7: looks like we got a seven to fifty start time

874
00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:54,399
Speaker 7: for this game, which is twenty minutes, so that's when

875
00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:56,200
Speaker 7: I tuned it. But but you know what, I don't

876
00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:58,239
Speaker 7: mind it because even if I'm late, I was late

877
00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:00,520
Speaker 7: yesterday it was seven to seven midway through that. I

878
00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:02,920
Speaker 7: don't know how many minutes we're gone, but I just

879
00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:05,440
Speaker 7: watched from the beginning and then I catch up during commercials.

880
00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:08,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I hate that, man. I don't have that option

881
00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:11,920
Speaker 2: right now with my uh you know, my streaming capabilities,

882
00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:14,920
Speaker 2: my restarting capabilities like that. But you're right, that's what

883
00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:15,480
Speaker 2: I would have done.

884
00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:17,560
Speaker 6: You.

885
00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:20,520
Speaker 2: No, you don't have a you can't do that with.

886
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:21,960
Speaker 6: My don't have a Fruity TV. You don't have an

887
00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:22,479
Speaker 6: Apple TV.

888
00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:24,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I have an Apple TV.

889
00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:26,160
Speaker 6: I can't do that.

890
00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:28,840
Speaker 2: On my AT and T TV app.

891
00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:32,680
Speaker 6: You can do you can definitely do it. Well if yeah,

892
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:34,920
Speaker 6: you got to be watching on the NBA app on your.

893
00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:37,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, you're right, I keep forgetting about the NBA app.

894
00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:37,960
Speaker 2: You're right, I could do.

895
00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:40,239
Speaker 6: Yeah, it works, it really works, all right.

896
00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:42,040
Speaker 2: Wow, lots to add to this game. I was gonna

897
00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:44,000
Speaker 2: say to bring it back to bastball very quickly. I

898
00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:46,719
Speaker 2: thought Duran's defense was pretty damn amazing in this because

899
00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:48,440
Speaker 2: I know you usually talk about the offense with the

900
00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:50,600
Speaker 2: nets because they are i don't know, probably the greatest

901
00:39:50,600 --> 00:39:53,239
Speaker 2: offensive team ever assembled at this point. But Katie had

902
00:39:53,239 --> 00:39:55,840
Speaker 2: four blocks. He swatted a time lord there on a

903
00:39:55,840 --> 00:39:59,200
Speaker 2: baseline jump shot, he locked up kemba uh and then

904
00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:02,680
Speaker 2: you know, blocked his ass there. He did help hold

905
00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:05,280
Speaker 2: Tatum to just nine points there in the twenty one minutes,

906
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:08,239
Speaker 2: and then you know, helped his box score even more

907
00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:09,560
Speaker 2: there by poking him in the eye. But I thought

908
00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:12,080
Speaker 2: he played great defensively, and he is their best defensive player,

909
00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:14,279
Speaker 2: and we've seen this before from him when he when

910
00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:17,040
Speaker 2: he you know, obviously had some incredible moments on the Warriors,

911
00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:19,560
Speaker 2: I thought, defensively, so that's good moving forward. They got

912
00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:21,080
Speaker 2: to win a title here then that's aren't worried about

913
00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:23,320
Speaker 2: the Celtics, but they do need to play some defense

914
00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:25,880
Speaker 2: at some point in these playoff series, I would imagine

915
00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:26,640
Speaker 2: in some of those teams.

916
00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:28,279
Speaker 6: So I thought just to jump in.

917
00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:30,439
Speaker 7: I thought Jared Greenberg's question to him after the game

918
00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:34,000
Speaker 7: on the floor about him being potentially too old to

919
00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:35,800
Speaker 7: be a defensive presence.

920
00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:37,680
Speaker 6: Was that was a question.

921
00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:41,520
Speaker 7: And he swatted and he's like, yeah, nope, yeah, I

922
00:40:41,560 --> 00:40:44,040
Speaker 7: mean I don't think I'm a liability out there, Jared.

923
00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:46,960
Speaker 6: So he handled it pretty well.

924
00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:49,960
Speaker 3: Jared's getting a nasty from a burner out there.

925
00:40:50,480 --> 00:41:00,400
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, come on, just threw up the softball. You're

926
00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:23,319
Speaker 2: knocked out of the park, Jared had. Yeah, so good.

927
00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:24,839
Speaker 6: What is the voice on that?

928
00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:26,800
Speaker 2: It was like an app?

929
00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:27,760
Speaker 5: It was just an app?

930
00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:30,480
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think it was Diddy dot CEO was the

931
00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:31,600
Speaker 8: app if I'm not mistaked.

932
00:41:31,640 --> 00:41:33,840
Speaker 2: What's what is it like the parody of again? Is

933
00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:34,880
Speaker 2: it like a football?

934
00:41:35,320 --> 00:41:36,520
Speaker 5: That's the Monday Night Football?

935
00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:36,759
Speaker 8: Yeah?

936
00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:39,440
Speaker 5: But uh, I think I don't know.

937
00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:42,440
Speaker 8: I think it was fan since nine, a Philly sports

938
00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:45,200
Speaker 8: fan had had replaced it.

939
00:41:45,120 --> 00:41:47,960
Speaker 2: With your man's a bird.

940
00:41:48,920 --> 00:41:51,040
Speaker 5: Too close to Jared Greenberg to let it slide.

941
00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:52,760
Speaker 6: That's a good cold open.

942
00:41:52,840 --> 00:41:56,239
Speaker 7: I also want, uh, I want mask watch for all

943
00:41:56,239 --> 00:41:58,560
Speaker 7: these sideline reports because Jared had a little problem with

944
00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:01,120
Speaker 7: his mask. He had to a little thing thing, you know,

945
00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:03,239
Speaker 7: while he was talking, he had to alter and you

946
00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:04,799
Speaker 7: got Chris Haynes in the other game.

947
00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:09,200
Speaker 6: That mask was up to his eyeballs. It's like, can

948
00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:11,440
Speaker 6: you see Yeah, you.

949
00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:15,279
Speaker 2: Seeing Frank Kaminsky wear his mask. It looks like a

950
00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:20,120
Speaker 2: headband the way he's got it. Yeah, a lot of

951
00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:24,720
Speaker 2: crazy masks. Some people you can hear like or you can't.

952
00:42:24,719 --> 00:42:26,600
Speaker 2: I guess hear all that well through the mask too,

953
00:42:27,080 --> 00:42:29,759
Speaker 2: which is I mean, duh. But some I feel like

954
00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:32,279
Speaker 2: talk a little clearer through them than others. I feel

955
00:42:32,280 --> 00:42:34,880
Speaker 2: like Rachel Nichols is quite muffled when she's got her

956
00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:36,840
Speaker 2: mask on very difficult.

957
00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:40,359
Speaker 6: Right mask watch, I thought you can.

958
00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:42,960
Speaker 7: You can hear Haynes really well, even though it's up

959
00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:44,960
Speaker 7: to his eyeballs, but I guess the sounds coming out

960
00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:47,879
Speaker 7: of the top and then drop it into the mic.

961
00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:51,520
Speaker 2: So here's all we have love with this series. Kyrie

962
00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:54,080
Speaker 2: hasn't played in front of Celtics fans, and we're going

963
00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:56,400
Speaker 2: to get that. On what night do they play? I

964
00:42:56,400 --> 00:42:57,240
Speaker 2: don't have the schedule.

965
00:42:57,320 --> 00:42:59,960
Speaker 3: Probably Thurs, I guess.

966
00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:06,640
Speaker 2: Maybe. But Lee, what did you think about Cyrie's comments?

967
00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:08,920
Speaker 2: Asked about that, you know this is going to be

968
00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:11,000
Speaker 2: your first game in Boston in front of fans. He's

969
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:13,279
Speaker 2: played once before, but there was an empty arena, and

970
00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:15,279
Speaker 2: this is what carry said. Hopefully we can just keep

971
00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:18,719
Speaker 2: it strictly basketball. There's no Billagoons or racism going on,

972
00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:20,680
Speaker 2: subtle racism and then there was a lot more back

973
00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:23,080
Speaker 2: and forth. I'm sure he's read the article on ESPN

974
00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:26,080
Speaker 2: or on the Athletic about this. What do you make

975
00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:26,319
Speaker 2: of this?

976
00:43:27,840 --> 00:43:30,880
Speaker 4: I'm not really sure to be honest, Kyrie had a

977
00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:34,040
Speaker 4: couple of seasons there and left as a free agent.

978
00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:40,200
Speaker 4: He has made comments about the city before, so I

979
00:43:40,200 --> 00:43:43,960
Speaker 4: guess you know he wants to get in front of him.

980
00:43:44,120 --> 00:43:47,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess so, Yeah, Yeah, I was. I don't know.

981
00:43:47,840 --> 00:43:52,040
Speaker 4: I mean, when you're saying things like that, that implying

982
00:43:52,280 --> 00:43:55,520
Speaker 4: racism from the crowd, I mean, that's probably not going

983
00:43:55,600 --> 00:43:56,960
Speaker 4: to go over too well with the fans who don't

984
00:43:57,000 --> 00:43:57,279
Speaker 4: think that.

985
00:43:57,360 --> 00:43:57,880
Speaker 3: So, I don't know.

986
00:43:57,960 --> 00:44:00,560
Speaker 4: Kyri's got a bit of a bit of a tenuous

987
00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:03,160
Speaker 4: history there in his short time in Boston. But you know,

988
00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:05,320
Speaker 4: he's not afraid to say what he thinks and belief

989
00:44:05,400 --> 00:44:07,239
Speaker 4: so you know, he got it out there.

990
00:44:08,120 --> 00:44:11,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm sure the Celtics crowd will be ever so

991
00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:13,600
Speaker 2: polite too. Yeah.

992
00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:17,279
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, like we obviously understand fans passionate and

993
00:44:17,280 --> 00:44:19,240
Speaker 4: boo and all that, but that's where we wanted to stay.

994
00:44:19,280 --> 00:44:21,960
Speaker 4: We don't want into anything more than that. So yeah,

995
00:44:22,120 --> 00:44:24,480
Speaker 4: I understand if he if he feels that way, if

996
00:44:24,719 --> 00:44:25,200
Speaker 4: he's been.

997
00:44:25,480 --> 00:44:29,040
Speaker 5: Like boo exact boo, just boom, that's fine.

998
00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:30,759
Speaker 2: We'll see if they can do that. I'm sure there

999
00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:32,959
Speaker 2: will always be one or two bad apples in that crowd,

1000
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:35,279
Speaker 2: and hopefully the security gets on them and they boot

1001
00:44:35,320 --> 00:44:37,839
Speaker 2: them if they cross that line. All right, final news

1002
00:44:37,880 --> 00:44:39,960
Speaker 2: here in the Eastern Conference. Can you guys see this

1003
00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:42,600
Speaker 2: little bug flying around my screen? Oh my god? You

1004
00:44:42,600 --> 00:44:44,080
Speaker 2: guys ever had that here when we're doing in these

1005
00:44:44,080 --> 00:44:46,839
Speaker 2: live stream Yeah, keeps like it's like a little fruit fly.

1006
00:44:47,120 --> 00:44:50,359
Speaker 2: Just keep buzzing around my head here. Okay, I guess

1007
00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:53,440
Speaker 2: you guys can't see it. Brought attention to it. But anyway,

1008
00:44:53,719 --> 00:44:55,560
Speaker 2: if you see me like smack my mic or my

1009
00:44:55,600 --> 00:44:58,239
Speaker 2: computer or my head, I'm trying to catch this fruit fly.

1010
00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:00,880
Speaker 2: But we do have some news here, and we got

1011
00:45:00,920 --> 00:45:03,279
Speaker 2: another award handed out next four with Julius Randall has

1012
00:45:03,280 --> 00:45:07,080
Speaker 2: been voted as the NBA's most improved player in a landslide.

1013
00:45:07,600 --> 00:45:11,200
Speaker 2: Randall's son Kaidan surprised his dad with the award after

1014
00:45:11,239 --> 00:45:13,839
Speaker 2: the next practice on Tuesday. Randall received ninety eight first

1015
00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:17,200
Speaker 2: place votes out of a possible one hundred. Detroit's Jeremy Grant,

1016
00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:20,359
Speaker 2: coming in second, received the other two first place votes,

1017
00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:23,080
Speaker 2: and then Denver's Michael porter Junior finished third. Learly, no

1018
00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:26,200
Speaker 2: shock here, No, but I saw that you were a

1019
00:45:26,200 --> 00:45:28,600
Speaker 2: fan of how they presented the award two for two

1020
00:45:28,719 --> 00:45:29,960
Speaker 2: and handing out the awards.

1021
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:31,759
Speaker 4: So far right, fantastic. We're going to see that in

1022
00:45:31,800 --> 00:45:35,479
Speaker 4: the next segment, actually two. But the funny thing about

1023
00:45:35,480 --> 00:45:38,200
Speaker 4: this is Julius Randall was two votes away from unanimous,

1024
00:45:38,200 --> 00:45:41,399
Speaker 4: but he didn't actually get a vote. He didn't even

1025
00:45:41,400 --> 00:45:43,600
Speaker 4: get one hundred total votes. He only got ninety nine.

1026
00:45:43,880 --> 00:45:46,040
Speaker 4: Someone didn't even have him in the top three. Oh

1027
00:45:46,040 --> 00:45:48,319
Speaker 4: he go, yeah he got that could have been an error. Well,

1028
00:45:48,360 --> 00:45:51,800
Speaker 4: he got ninety eight first place votes, one second plates vote,

1029
00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:55,719
Speaker 4: and zero third place votes, so someone didn't even think

1030
00:45:55,719 --> 00:45:57,719
Speaker 4: he was in the top three, which is kind of

1031
00:45:57,760 --> 00:45:59,920
Speaker 4: odd when a guy wins it so convincingly like that.

1032
00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:03,040
Speaker 4: But yeah, the other guy, I think, Jeremy Grant Michael

1033
00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:05,879
Speaker 4: Portera Junior finished quite high. I think because he had

1034
00:46:05,920 --> 00:46:07,480
Speaker 4: such a strong end of the season, because otherwise I

1035
00:46:07,520 --> 00:46:09,839
Speaker 4: think Christian would probably finish his up there, but he

1036
00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:11,360
Speaker 4: was on the rockets and he was injured for a

1037
00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:14,560
Speaker 4: lot of it, so didn't really factor into it as much.

1038
00:46:14,600 --> 00:46:16,520
Speaker 4: But yeah, well done to Julius Randall.

1039
00:46:16,920 --> 00:46:20,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, Trey, anything to add to this we're seeing for

1040
00:46:20,080 --> 00:46:22,600
Speaker 2: everybody on the stream team the breakdown of the votes.

1041
00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:25,439
Speaker 2: I hadn't even noticed that league. Good catch. My guess

1042
00:46:25,520 --> 00:46:27,759
Speaker 2: is that was an error by somebody, but.

1043
00:46:28,880 --> 00:46:31,879
Speaker 8: Somebody accidentally voted for Chase On Randall as a third

1044
00:46:31,920 --> 00:46:34,640
Speaker 8: place vote because he got that fiftieth wedgie of the season.

1045
00:46:35,880 --> 00:46:39,080
Speaker 8: Good a reason, if you ask me, no surprise that

1046
00:46:39,239 --> 00:46:42,760
Speaker 8: Julius Randall would win Most Improved. The Knicks need him, however,

1047
00:46:42,880 --> 00:46:46,040
Speaker 8: to be the most improved player of the night to night.

1048
00:46:46,480 --> 00:46:49,240
Speaker 8: That's what we call a segue in the business. Julius

1049
00:46:49,280 --> 00:46:52,160
Speaker 8: Randall shot the ball incredibly well this season. The guy

1050
00:46:52,200 --> 00:46:55,319
Speaker 8: hit like an insane amount of pull up, step back

1051
00:46:55,520 --> 00:46:58,480
Speaker 8: jumpers with four hands in his face. They just kept

1052
00:46:58,560 --> 00:47:01,799
Speaker 8: dropping for the entire season. He was incredible this year.

1053
00:47:02,120 --> 00:47:05,160
Speaker 8: Not so much in Game one. The defense was better

1054
00:47:05,239 --> 00:47:08,400
Speaker 8: against Julius Randall, but he dominated the Hawks during the

1055
00:47:08,440 --> 00:47:11,240
Speaker 8: regular season. So let's see some of that improvement tonight.

1056
00:47:11,440 --> 00:47:11,919
Speaker 8: J Edr.

1057
00:47:12,320 --> 00:47:15,919
Speaker 2: I've got very easy trivia question, especially for the doppelganger here.

1058
00:47:16,080 --> 00:47:18,279
Speaker 2: Randall only the second player to win the award in

1059
00:47:18,360 --> 00:47:21,560
Speaker 2: his seventh season or later, joining who.

1060
00:47:21,480 --> 00:47:26,480
Speaker 6: Tasks Hedo turk lou Ball.

1061
00:47:26,680 --> 00:47:29,799
Speaker 2: That's correct, yes, one of his eighth season, Turleu did

1062
00:47:29,880 --> 00:47:30,719
Speaker 2: oh seven eight?

1063
00:47:30,760 --> 00:47:35,440
Speaker 7: There just seeing uh people in the stream team here

1064
00:47:35,719 --> 00:47:40,680
Speaker 7: saying that Chris Haynes, according to Emil Nate, had Julius

1065
00:47:40,760 --> 00:47:42,960
Speaker 7: Randall outside his top three, and I just went and

1066
00:47:43,040 --> 00:47:44,200
Speaker 7: checked the ballot.

1067
00:47:44,280 --> 00:47:45,960
Speaker 6: Yeah, he released his ballot.

1068
00:47:45,680 --> 00:47:49,280
Speaker 7: A while ago and he didn't have uh, Julius Randall

1069
00:47:49,320 --> 00:47:50,040
Speaker 7: in his top three.

1070
00:47:51,160 --> 00:47:52,320
Speaker 6: Strange interesting?

1071
00:47:52,960 --> 00:47:55,719
Speaker 2: What's his reason? Like he he believed in Randall before

1072
00:47:55,719 --> 00:48:00,520
Speaker 2: everybody else did, he was already good. That's a strange Joiners.

1073
00:48:01,880 --> 00:48:05,200
Speaker 5: No, why, that's just why exactly.

1074
00:48:04,800 --> 00:48:06,840
Speaker 2: Good stuff on the stream team there doing the research.

1075
00:48:07,120 --> 00:48:08,759
Speaker 2: All right, We still got a tweet of the night

1076
00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:11,000
Speaker 2: and we'll set up tonight's games. But first a quick

1077
00:48:11,040 --> 00:48:15,000
Speaker 2: break to hear from our sponsors. Trey, that's the hat

1078
00:48:15,040 --> 00:48:17,160
Speaker 2: we were talking about on yesterday's show, isn't it that

1079
00:48:17,320 --> 00:48:19,040
Speaker 2: Crazy Starters logo hat?

1080
00:48:19,320 --> 00:48:22,839
Speaker 8: That's right, buddy, Yeah, yeah, big one, big old hat.

1081
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:23,880
Speaker 5: Got some patches.

1082
00:48:25,440 --> 00:48:28,320
Speaker 2: Oh, I saw you were a fan of these MLB

1083
00:48:28,560 --> 00:48:30,759
Speaker 2: patches hats that a lot of people were clowning on.

1084
00:48:30,920 --> 00:48:31,560
Speaker 2: You like them?

1085
00:48:31,719 --> 00:48:33,279
Speaker 5: Oh? Call me patches? O hula han.

1086
00:48:33,320 --> 00:48:36,080
Speaker 8: You can throw a patch on any clothing item. I'm like,

1087
00:48:36,080 --> 00:48:38,719
Speaker 8: that's gonna be cool. I got a random book of

1088
00:48:38,760 --> 00:48:41,480
Speaker 8: Grateful Dead style here. I got a pair of shorts

1089
00:48:41,520 --> 00:48:42,520
Speaker 8: covered in patches.

1090
00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:45,839
Speaker 5: Love it. So you know what I'm gonna put out

1091
00:48:45,880 --> 00:48:46,600
Speaker 5: in open patches?

1092
00:48:46,640 --> 00:48:47,040
Speaker 6: Call here?

1093
00:48:47,960 --> 00:48:50,880
Speaker 8: Send me some patches. Oh you got some weird patches

1094
00:48:50,960 --> 00:48:52,760
Speaker 8: sending me. I'll put them on a pair of shorts.

1095
00:48:52,760 --> 00:48:54,759
Speaker 8: I'll wear a I'll be cool patch shorts that.

1096
00:48:55,239 --> 00:48:56,359
Speaker 2: Do you like the movie too?

1097
00:48:57,840 --> 00:48:58,600
Speaker 5: Patch Adams?

1098
00:49:00,719 --> 00:49:04,359
Speaker 8: You know I liked watching it on VHS when I

1099
00:49:04,400 --> 00:49:06,960
Speaker 8: was a child, but I haven't gone back.

1100
00:49:07,239 --> 00:49:09,279
Speaker 2: You know, I remember being a good movie.

1101
00:49:09,320 --> 00:49:11,719
Speaker 8: It took a couple of spins with Robin Williams there

1102
00:49:11,840 --> 00:49:12,840
Speaker 8: the Silly Doctor.

1103
00:49:14,800 --> 00:49:16,919
Speaker 5: But does it have replay value? I'm not sure.

1104
00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:19,600
Speaker 8: Personally, I would be going back and watching Jack remember

1105
00:49:19,600 --> 00:49:21,520
Speaker 8: when he's like a forty year old man who's an

1106
00:49:21,600 --> 00:49:24,959
Speaker 8: eight year old boy or something like that, Robin Williams pretending.

1107
00:49:24,640 --> 00:49:27,960
Speaker 3: To be a kid. Yeah, yeah, yeah, sounds like big.

1108
00:49:29,280 --> 00:49:33,319
Speaker 8: Yeah, basically big. But but now it's Jack. Okay, I'm

1109
00:49:34,040 --> 00:49:34,760
Speaker 8: now it's Jack.

1110
00:49:34,880 --> 00:49:36,839
Speaker 2: I'm glad you knew the movie I was talking about,

1111
00:49:36,840 --> 00:49:39,400
Speaker 2: because in my head I thought the movie was called Patches.

1112
00:49:39,520 --> 00:49:43,880
Speaker 2: But so thank you for being a little quicker than

1113
00:49:43,880 --> 00:49:46,359
Speaker 2: I am. All right, let's get to tweet of the night.

1114
00:49:48,760 --> 00:49:49,799
Speaker 6: Tweet of the night.

1115
00:49:50,520 --> 00:49:51,680
Speaker 5: Wow.

1116
00:49:55,440 --> 00:49:57,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, Well I talked about it because the NBA is

1117
00:49:57,719 --> 00:49:59,920
Speaker 4: handed out the second award and I went to Julius

1118
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:02,680
Speaker 4: handled last night and once again they did a fantastic

1119
00:50:02,760 --> 00:50:06,600
Speaker 4: job because they got Julius's son, Kaid and to hand

1120
00:50:06,640 --> 00:50:08,880
Speaker 4: it to him, and the Knicks tweeted out the video

1121
00:50:09,280 --> 00:50:10,000
Speaker 4: and here it is.

1122
00:50:10,920 --> 00:50:13,520
Speaker 3: I was my day was last morn?

1123
00:50:18,320 --> 00:50:19,040
Speaker 2: What do you have there?

1124
00:50:19,040 --> 00:50:19,359
Speaker 1: A time?

1125
00:50:22,160 --> 00:50:22,640
Speaker 8: My dad?

1126
00:50:56,680 --> 00:50:58,400
Speaker 2: You improved.

1127
00:51:00,080 --> 00:51:03,040
Speaker 3: The same portrait camera? They're too skes. I thought you

1128
00:51:03,040 --> 00:51:04,480
Speaker 3: would have liked that shoot.

1129
00:51:05,800 --> 00:51:09,759
Speaker 4: Honestly, I think the NBA has done a fantastic job

1130
00:51:09,800 --> 00:51:10,520
Speaker 4: the award show.

1131
00:51:10,880 --> 00:51:12,919
Speaker 3: You know, if they tried it, it didn't really work.

1132
00:51:13,000 --> 00:51:15,400
Speaker 4: This is a much better way of handing out the awards,

1133
00:51:15,640 --> 00:51:18,120
Speaker 4: getting you know, teammates, family involved, whatever it is. And

1134
00:51:18,760 --> 00:51:20,920
Speaker 4: oh my god, seeing his sun come out there and

1135
00:51:20,960 --> 00:51:23,239
Speaker 4: just seeing a smile in Julius's face like it was

1136
00:51:23,320 --> 00:51:26,440
Speaker 4: just a beautiful, beautiful moment. So well done to everyone

1137
00:51:26,480 --> 00:51:27,080
Speaker 4: involved with that.

1138
00:51:28,400 --> 00:51:30,759
Speaker 2: I don't know if I just never realized how sort

1139
00:51:30,760 --> 00:51:35,360
Speaker 2: of weird the MIP award actually is a trophy itself.

1140
00:51:35,400 --> 00:51:37,160
Speaker 2: It's not a whole lot there a task, it's not.

1141
00:51:37,840 --> 00:51:42,359
Speaker 2: It was quite small. It's like very It's like we've

1142
00:51:42,360 --> 00:51:45,280
Speaker 2: got a more impressive Webby Award than the Most Improved

1143
00:51:45,280 --> 00:51:49,400
Speaker 2: Player Award. It's like cooler looking than that. I'm just

1144
00:51:49,440 --> 00:51:51,480
Speaker 2: saying that a lot to it.

1145
00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:56,080
Speaker 7: No, basically nothing. Yeah, I won a couple Most Improved

1146
00:51:56,120 --> 00:51:58,520
Speaker 7: awards in my day. They're better than those ones. Yeah,

1147
00:51:58,640 --> 00:51:59,680
Speaker 7: I can pull it out right now.

1148
00:52:00,080 --> 00:52:02,960
Speaker 6: That was good for it. We were talking sports just

1149
00:52:03,200 --> 00:52:03,719
Speaker 6: growing up.

1150
00:52:07,680 --> 00:52:10,800
Speaker 2: Your family was like, you were the most improved this year.

1151
00:52:11,840 --> 00:52:16,200
Speaker 6: For no baseball a couple of years. You know, I

1152
00:52:16,280 --> 00:52:18,120
Speaker 6: was so bad. I want it back to back years.

1153
00:52:22,480 --> 00:52:26,240
Speaker 7: But yeah, it's weird, you know the NBA Awards, Uh,

1154
00:52:27,520 --> 00:52:30,759
Speaker 7: the whole ceremony, the show that. Yeah, yeah, it didn't

1155
00:52:30,760 --> 00:52:33,640
Speaker 7: work it, but I'd like to bring it back. That's

1156
00:52:33,640 --> 00:52:35,799
Speaker 7: a nice little fun trip for us if we if

1157
00:52:35,800 --> 00:52:36,360
Speaker 7: we get.

1158
00:52:37,480 --> 00:52:39,640
Speaker 5: We're not going on here.

1159
00:52:39,680 --> 00:52:43,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it was a fun one Yearly sent us there, No,

1160
00:52:43,480 --> 00:52:46,560
Speaker 2: I like this more. I'm with Leely. It's especially the

1161
00:52:46,600 --> 00:52:48,400
Speaker 2: timing of it is the other thing. I like these

1162
00:52:48,440 --> 00:52:51,000
Speaker 2: awards coming out in the playoffs, like I want I

1163
00:52:51,000 --> 00:52:53,800
Speaker 2: want to get his m v P. You know, I

1164
00:52:53,800 --> 00:52:55,120
Speaker 2: don't know if they'll still do it in front of

1165
00:52:55,120 --> 00:52:58,040
Speaker 2: the home crowd and all that. Probably not, but uh yeah,

1166
00:52:58,719 --> 00:53:01,040
Speaker 2: they don't want David Robinson a situation. I get that,

1167
00:53:01,160 --> 00:53:03,319
Speaker 2: but I do like it in the playoffs. But that's

1168
00:53:03,360 --> 00:53:03,600
Speaker 2: just me.

1169
00:53:03,840 --> 00:53:07,440
Speaker 8: Are they gonna surprise Jokich like composeo passes in the

1170
00:53:07,680 --> 00:53:10,319
Speaker 8: NDP Trophy between the laes or something like that.

1171
00:53:10,480 --> 00:53:13,600
Speaker 2: Floor I hadn't thought about that. Yeah, there are two

1172
00:53:13,600 --> 00:53:15,919
Speaker 2: for two right now, there's what four major ones left?

1173
00:53:16,520 --> 00:53:17,440
Speaker 2: They can they keep it up?

1174
00:53:17,640 --> 00:53:19,880
Speaker 8: And it actually worked out all right for Most Improved

1175
00:53:19,920 --> 00:53:22,280
Speaker 8: Player because, like you're saying, kind of a small trophy,

1176
00:53:22,800 --> 00:53:24,880
Speaker 8: but a trophy that a child could handle.

1177
00:53:24,920 --> 00:53:25,520
Speaker 5: You don't want to.

1178
00:53:25,680 --> 00:53:28,480
Speaker 8: An't the MVP trophy trying to wiggle that thing around,

1179
00:53:28,480 --> 00:53:29,759
Speaker 8: a little one you can hold in your hands.

1180
00:53:29,760 --> 00:53:32,280
Speaker 5: It's perfect for a dad like Julius Randall.

1181
00:53:32,440 --> 00:53:34,640
Speaker 2: That's a great point. I thought about that. Okay, tonight's

1182
00:53:34,680 --> 00:53:37,799
Speaker 2: games we got Wizards Sixers Game two. That one's on

1183
00:53:37,880 --> 00:53:40,960
Speaker 2: NBA TV, that is getting the NBA TV status. Hawk's

1184
00:53:41,040 --> 00:53:45,160
Speaker 2: Knicks Game two, huge one in MSG. I can't wait

1185
00:53:45,239 --> 00:53:47,840
Speaker 2: to see what the Knicks faithful have in store for

1186
00:53:47,960 --> 00:53:51,920
Speaker 2: Trey on now after the mayor is saying, Callotrail, what

1187
00:53:52,040 --> 00:53:56,040
Speaker 2: a loser? Oh my god, you're embarrassing yourself. And then

1188
00:53:56,040 --> 00:53:58,200
Speaker 2: Grizzlies Jazz is the other game. Man, that's big too.

1189
00:53:58,280 --> 00:54:00,439
Speaker 2: Of course, with the Grizzlies taking game one, which which

1190
00:54:00,440 --> 00:54:01,520
Speaker 2: game you most excited for us?

1191
00:54:02,840 --> 00:54:03,200
Speaker 9: Well?

1192
00:54:03,600 --> 00:54:07,520
Speaker 7: I want to see how Trey Young responds for sure. Listen,

1193
00:54:07,560 --> 00:54:10,279
Speaker 7: I don't mind the build a Blasio call out. Why

1194
00:54:10,320 --> 00:54:12,799
Speaker 7: not just try and get under his skin as much

1195
00:54:12,840 --> 00:54:15,520
Speaker 7: as possible. Yeah, they're going to be going nuts. What

1196
00:54:15,520 --> 00:54:18,760
Speaker 7: what happens on the other side? Trey mentioned, can Julius

1197
00:54:18,840 --> 00:54:22,880
Speaker 7: Randall shake off the cobwebs? He just wasn't himself in

1198
00:54:22,920 --> 00:54:25,520
Speaker 7: game one. We got to expect a big game too,

1199
00:54:25,560 --> 00:54:29,439
Speaker 7: But Trey Young just watched Luka Doncic and you know,

1200
00:54:29,760 --> 00:54:32,479
Speaker 7: maybe maybe maybe he tries to do a little too much,

1201
00:54:33,560 --> 00:54:37,799
Speaker 7: especially after the Mayor's comments. I don't know, it's it

1202
00:54:37,800 --> 00:54:40,759
Speaker 7: feels like I must win for the Knicks obviously, but uh,

1203
00:54:42,000 --> 00:54:44,240
Speaker 7: Trey still got something in that bag.

1204
00:54:44,360 --> 00:54:48,320
Speaker 6: So yeah, that game is must watch on both sides.

1205
00:54:48,440 --> 00:54:49,880
Speaker 2: And what time is this game starting?

1206
00:54:49,960 --> 00:54:50,279
Speaker 5: Do we know?

1207
00:54:50,360 --> 00:54:55,000
Speaker 2: Tip? I think it is it seven?

1208
00:54:56,120 --> 00:54:57,919
Speaker 4: I think that's what I mean. TV is saying seven

1209
00:54:57,920 --> 00:54:59,799
Speaker 4: to thirty, So I think it's seven forty five. Because

1210
00:54:59,800 --> 00:55:01,600
Speaker 4: you know New York they want to drag it out.

1211
00:55:01,400 --> 00:55:03,520
Speaker 2: I know it's a TNT game. Sometimes they just go

1212
00:55:03,640 --> 00:55:05,240
Speaker 2: right to it. Let's go right to the guys.

1213
00:55:05,760 --> 00:55:07,000
Speaker 5: You're turning on Bones.

1214
00:55:08,480 --> 00:55:11,200
Speaker 2: I've seen and wait out the final three minutes of

1215
00:55:11,360 --> 00:55:16,080
Speaker 2: every Bones. It's my favorite showever. When you just consider

1216
00:55:16,120 --> 00:55:19,879
Speaker 2: the last three minutes watch your game. Are you most

1217
00:55:19,880 --> 00:55:20,640
Speaker 2: excited for lately?

1218
00:55:20,800 --> 00:55:23,160
Speaker 4: Well, Nolan's know, well, actually is a day to day.

1219
00:55:23,200 --> 00:55:24,919
Speaker 4: He may not play tonight, which would be a big

1220
00:55:24,960 --> 00:55:27,560
Speaker 4: blow for the for the next because he's been good

1221
00:55:27,600 --> 00:55:30,160
Speaker 4: for them and they just need some defensive interior presence

1222
00:55:30,160 --> 00:55:31,840
Speaker 4: there because if you're the Hawks and he's not playing,

1223
00:55:31,960 --> 00:55:33,359
Speaker 4: you got to run some pick and roll with Clin

1224
00:55:33,400 --> 00:55:36,600
Speaker 4: Coppeller early because I don't know, I mean, Julius Randall

1225
00:55:36,640 --> 00:55:38,640
Speaker 4: might have to pick him up defensively. They don't have

1226
00:55:38,880 --> 00:55:42,600
Speaker 4: a huge depth of that position, so that could make

1227
00:55:42,640 --> 00:55:44,399
Speaker 4: things a little bit tougher, but I think, yeah, after

1228
00:55:44,440 --> 00:55:45,920
Speaker 4: what we saw on Sunday, I want to see that

1229
00:55:45,920 --> 00:55:48,520
Speaker 4: one again, see Madison square card and the fans going

1230
00:55:48,600 --> 00:55:51,560
Speaker 4: crazy in a must win situation and see how the

1231
00:55:51,600 --> 00:55:53,080
Speaker 4: Hawks can respond to it. I think it's going to

1232
00:55:53,120 --> 00:55:55,560
Speaker 4: be awesome. And it's the early eastern tip off, so

1233
00:55:56,360 --> 00:55:57,399
Speaker 4: we're watching that one for Shore.

1234
00:55:57,520 --> 00:56:01,080
Speaker 2: Okay. I mean there is a right Nicks need to win,

1235
00:56:01,239 --> 00:56:03,080
Speaker 2: and I think we can say the same thing about

1236
00:56:03,120 --> 00:56:04,839
Speaker 2: the Jazz right TK.

1237
00:56:04,719 --> 00:56:06,919
Speaker 8: No doubt I'm focused in on that Jazz game. I'll

1238
00:56:06,920 --> 00:56:10,960
Speaker 8: probably consume it tonight onlike Lee.

1239
00:56:10,239 --> 00:56:11,560
Speaker 3: What times that one too wants.

1240
00:56:11,320 --> 00:56:13,960
Speaker 5: To come back. I don't know what's the bulls I.

1241
00:56:13,960 --> 00:56:21,120
Speaker 9: Tip tip, I'll do a first off second, give me

1242
00:56:21,160 --> 00:56:22,759
Speaker 9: the bulls eye, give me the bulls so I can

1243
00:56:22,880 --> 00:56:24,640
Speaker 9: know exactly when that thing's tipping off.

1244
00:56:24,800 --> 00:56:27,360
Speaker 8: H I think there's a little pressure on Donovan Mitchell

1245
00:56:27,400 --> 00:56:30,440
Speaker 8: tonight after the way things went in Game one. Obviously

1246
00:56:30,480 --> 00:56:33,080
Speaker 8: the Grizzlies got the win. There was the story afterwards

1247
00:56:33,120 --> 00:56:34,960
Speaker 8: that he was really mad that he wasn't allowed to

1248
00:56:34,960 --> 00:56:37,520
Speaker 8: play and that it was the Jazz team trainer's call

1249
00:56:37,880 --> 00:56:40,280
Speaker 8: in the last second. So they're getting him back tonight.

1250
00:56:40,520 --> 00:56:41,719
Speaker 8: He's going to be rare and to go. But he

1251
00:56:41,719 --> 00:56:44,080
Speaker 8: also hasn't played basketball in about a month, so certainly

1252
00:56:44,120 --> 00:56:46,879
Speaker 8: he's going to be rusty playing against the Grizzlies team

1253
00:56:46,960 --> 00:56:49,440
Speaker 8: that forces a lot of turnovers, that makes things tough

1254
00:56:49,920 --> 00:56:53,319
Speaker 8: on the defensive end. So yeah, after the way things

1255
00:56:53,360 --> 00:56:56,720
Speaker 8: went down in Game one with the off court drama

1256
00:56:56,760 --> 00:56:58,759
Speaker 8: with Donovan Mitchell, I think it's kind of imperative that

1257
00:56:58,800 --> 00:56:59,799
Speaker 8: he has a nice game tonight.

1258
00:57:00,239 --> 00:57:03,200
Speaker 2: Absolutely can't wait for these ones. We'll be back tomorrow
