Speaker 1: The volume.
Speaker 2: An interview has surface though at Man said he wants
Speaker 2: to face the Warriors in the playoffs, and I want
Speaker 2: to go get the Warriors wherever they're at.
Speaker 3: I want to get them.
Speaker 2: Reporter, why the Warriors aftercause Draymond talked so much trash
Speaker 2: And that's pretty much the only reason I.
Speaker 3: Like Shee Man. That's that's That's what I'm talking about.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 4: We need we need more of that something everybody. Everybody
Speaker 4: likes to just play the game of basketball. But when
Speaker 4: you bring that entertainment value like that, that makes you
Speaker 4: want and hope that the Warriors and the Wolves have
Speaker 4: a series. It's because of something like somebody like that
Speaker 4: can that can talk it and they can walk it.
Speaker 3: It just makes it.
Speaker 4: Makes it that much better. That's why I say I
Speaker 4: would love for him to be the face of the league.
Speaker 4: No disrespect to Jason Tatum. Great player, NBA champion, you know,
Speaker 4: NBA Champion, All Star, you know, Olympic team. He has
Speaker 4: all these accolades, but it just doesn't add up to
Speaker 4: that aura and it factor that Ann.
Speaker 1: Has, Like that's that's man. Listen, Buddy, Buddy raw Man, Hey,
Speaker 1: hey for for the story. For the story Okay, oh Joe,
Speaker 1: this one here gonna go down in the books.
Speaker 2: Uh See, the one team that was at home night
Speaker 2: and cheering was the timber Wolves. They were cheering for
Speaker 2: the Warriors for a number of reasons. They played the Warriors.
Speaker 2: They get home court advantage. See the one give to them.
Speaker 2: But if if, if the Rockets would have won, they
Speaker 2: would have had to go to Houston. You see what
Speaker 2: I'm saying. So timber Wolves got home court advantage. They
Speaker 2: know and understands, you know, the moment and what it possents.
Speaker 2: And like I say, and man got this hit list,
Speaker 2: he's finna as he tried to. He got a couple
Speaker 2: of people.
Speaker 3: He canna ask this. Liszten even to it when they
Speaker 3: series started, Joe, Uh, probably Tuesday.
Speaker 2: So look think about this, Okay, Ojo, that series is
Speaker 2: gonna start Tuesday. You're just coming out for seven game,
Speaker 2: grueling series against the Rockets. Probably gonna wear you down
Speaker 2: a little bit. Timber Wood's been at home kind of resting.
Speaker 2: They got their feed up a little bit. But uh,
Speaker 2: they gonna be ready. They probably gonna look a step
Speaker 2: of two faster.
Speaker 3: Than the Warriors on Game one. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, now watch watching Rudy Gobert, go out there forgetting
Speaker 2: how to play basketball at Dreymond take him completely.
Speaker 3: Let out. This is gonna be a wrestled matiw We
Speaker 3: were just talking to Bianca.
Speaker 2: Uh, we're just talking to Bianca. What about a week,
Speaker 2: a week or two ago. Yeah, and they're gonna be wrestlemated.
Speaker 2: This musty TV. Rudy Gobert and Drakemond Green. Oh yeah,
Speaker 2: y'all already know how this thing is gonna go down. Yeah,
Speaker 2: And the span of twelve month, the Wolves are sitting
Speaker 2: home Kevin Durratt, Nicola Jokic, Luka Danget, and Lebron James.
Speaker 2: A man is looking to ask Steph Curry to his list.
Speaker 2: Let me ask you a question. How many games who wins?
Speaker 2: And in how many games? Y'all gonna start with you?
Speaker 2: Who wins the not many games? Oh man, this is
Speaker 2: a good one.
Speaker 4: Listen where Anthony Evers playing the Ways playing Rudy Garbert.
Speaker 4: If you can have another game not maybe not twenty
Speaker 4: seven again, but he contributed on both ends of the court, uh,
Speaker 4: giving him the second chance points, rebounding defensively, everyone else
Speaker 4: contributing as well.
Speaker 3: I say it's gonna be another seven game series.
Speaker 4: And I got a man, I got a man pulling
Speaker 4: it off, adding another one to the hit list.
Speaker 3: What you got, Joe, I don't got no seven games series.
Speaker 3: I got this. I got the t Wolves winning this
Speaker 3: in about five six games. Damn five to six? Yeah,
Speaker 3: what's wrong?
Speaker 4: Only only only said the seven because Steph and Draymond
Speaker 4: and them boys are used to playing in this type
Speaker 4: of atmosphere. So I'm saying they're gonna stretch it all
Speaker 4: the way to seven. But if you say five and six,
Speaker 4: you know better than me because you played. I just
Speaker 4: be in the YMCA.
Speaker 2: Hey, this is just this is just my opinion. Oh Jo,
Speaker 2: it would to be true. Now allow me to right
Speaker 2: to be wrong, right right, right, right right. But I'm
Speaker 2: in my assessment. I'm thinking of okay, seven game series.
Speaker 2: Butler didn't look like he didn't look like you don't
Speaker 2: look like he moved it, even though he played a
Speaker 2: decent game.
Speaker 3: Now he played the game to night.
Speaker 2: Him and stuff looked like they kind of hobbled and
Speaker 2: gimbled a little bit. And going into playing against these
Speaker 2: tea walls, they gonna be ready, man, They hungry, They ready.
Speaker 3: They sitting and waiting. It's gonna I think they like
Speaker 3: that because my thing is.
Speaker 2: Who's gonna do who's guarding you ramble right, That's what
Speaker 2: I want to know because if you go bigger, you
Speaker 2: put Cabal Looney in there to deal with because now
Speaker 2: you you mess up your spacy because you put Loon
Speaker 2: in there, and you and you have Draymond, you brag
Speaker 2: with ju you random the lower you gotta be ready
Speaker 2: to bang with it. Yeah, it's it's it's gonna be.
Speaker 2: It's gonna be a tough uncle. It's it's gonna be
Speaker 2: some nose and nose in this series, you know, because
Speaker 2: Julius Ramland, well, I could definitely see, I could definite
Speaker 2: see rather than dre Bard getting do it.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 2: You know, I think I think one of the weapons
Speaker 2: for the Warriors. Man, they're gonna have to try to
Speaker 2: find a way to get Kamingo back into the fold
Speaker 2: because they gonna need him in this series coming up, man,
Speaker 2: you know, and they kind of it kind of showed
Speaker 2: today they kind of need they needed him early, but
Speaker 2: I think they gonna need him throughout this series. You know,
Speaker 2: he got he got youth on his side. He's he's
Speaker 2: played in big moments. He knows and he knows what
Speaker 2: he knows what you know he's capable of doing. I
Speaker 2: think they need his productivity, you know, especially coming up
Speaker 2: in this series.
Speaker 3: He hadn't played in a while. I know they threw him,
Speaker 3: they've been.
Speaker 2: Throwing him out there here and there, but they got
Speaker 2: to try to find some consistent minutes for him. I
Speaker 2: like I like the I like the T Wolves also
Speaker 2: because I don't know when they go to the bench, nods, nods, reed,
Speaker 2: who's gonna deal with Because not only can't he shoot
Speaker 2: this free and stretch the floor, he can dad also
Speaker 2: go down and post.
Speaker 3: So now you gotta think about it.
Speaker 2: That's Moody, that's kaminga, that's trying to deal with a big,
Speaker 2: a big, a true big yeah.
Speaker 3: And that's why that's why I favor the T Wars, Uh, because.
Speaker 2: Of them big bodies that they have, that they can
Speaker 2: throw it, and they big bodies can score, and they
Speaker 2: can play made so and they guard, sit down and
Speaker 2: they play deep. McDaniels. It was Alexander and Alexander Walkers,
Speaker 2: Devin those you know, those are some guys. You know,
Speaker 2: I've soon gonna win you games throughout the series. So
Speaker 2: I get the t Wars the Edge man. I think
Speaker 2: it's gonna be a fun on the watch. Gary Payton
Speaker 2: the Second didn't play the night he was dealing with
Speaker 2: an illness. He's gonna get a lot of minutes on
Speaker 2: a man. They're gonna try to wear at man down.
Speaker 2: They'll probably have Kamingo deal with him. They have Moody
Speaker 2: deal with him, They'll have Gary Payton Second deal with him.
Speaker 2: They'll they'll they're gonna try to throw different I don't
Speaker 2: think anybody can stop it. You're gonna try to get
Speaker 2: the ball out of his hand wherever you can make
Speaker 2: somebody else beat you. Uh, Lakers did that and McDaniel's
Speaker 2: had a great series. I was reading knocked down some
Speaker 2: big shots. Obviously Jue Ramble gave you what he gave
Speaker 2: me probably twenty at probably average twenty two and the
Speaker 2: uh for the for that series. Uh, this it's gonna
Speaker 2: be a very very interesting matchup. It's gonna be a
Speaker 2: chest I'm see how fish is what he gonna do
Speaker 2: with with Steph. How he's gonna defend Steph because buddy,
Speaker 2: he was like, I'm gonna make y'all play, because y'all
Speaker 2: make it seem like I can't shoot the three.
Speaker 3: Y'all know I can shoot these three. Man.
Speaker 2: Listen, if you don't scratch in game six, how we
Speaker 2: expect for you to come out and give a thirty
Speaker 2: come in games seven? Come on, man? Yeah you know
Speaker 2: we ain't nobody expect that, Like this man is no
Speaker 2: he out of Hey when you hit that shot, well
Speaker 2: that at the end of the half, I said, yeah, things,
Speaker 2: you're living right, Uh, you're living.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Hey for a guy, for a guy who couldn't make
Speaker 2: it shot a game six to hit that, like, yeah,
Speaker 2: that's that's a confidence that's a confidence building list.
Speaker 3: So you know.
Speaker 2: Now you know he like because he had twenty three
Speaker 2: at twenty three in the first half, he didn't give
Speaker 2: you none in the third quarter. I don't think he's
Speaker 2: scored any of the third he's scored the third one.
Speaker 2: I think he got his eleven in the four.
Speaker 3: He said done. He said, I got, y'all, I got y'all,
Speaker 3: this lead.
Speaker 2: I spotted, y'all, So okay, stephibby, y'all, y'all, y'all pars Hey.
Speaker 3: I don't I don't know how much the NBA is
Speaker 3: a copycat league.
Speaker 4: As you watch a series and knowing you you're playing
Speaker 4: up the following team coming up next. Like the NFL
Speaker 4: is you see something work on another team and then
Speaker 4: you just copy that and do the same thing. Well,
Speaker 4: you know, you know how to slow Steph down, you know,
Speaker 4: maybe not stopping, but contain him and just do the
Speaker 4: same thing the Rockets are doing defensively, the Wolves are
Speaker 4: capable of doing that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, people are doing the same.
Speaker 2: I think I think the Rockets the Wolves might have
Speaker 2: better defenders individual dividers. Jay McDaniels is the individual is
Speaker 2: a better individual individual defense saying than anybody.
Speaker 3: That wait, individual defender.
Speaker 4: I don't think there's really nobody off the dribble that
Speaker 4: can stay with Steph regardless, regardless who look.
Speaker 2: Ain't nobody really dealing with nobody wanting he's the best
Speaker 2: of the best. You just you try to make it
Speaker 2: as tough as possible. So if he gives you twenty
Speaker 2: if he if he averages twenty seven, you try to
Speaker 2: hold him at twenty three, or if he gets his
Speaker 2: twenty seven. You try to make it as an inefficient right.
Speaker 2: But you go out there and say, oh yeah, oh
Speaker 2: you have age twenty seven. You ain't give a twelve back.
Speaker 2: Go Okay, good luck with them. Nah, But I think
Speaker 2: I think I think T Wolves got the defenders to
Speaker 2: to to you know, wear him down throughout the series.
Speaker 3: You know, long rangy guys.
Speaker 2: You know, yeah, who's gonna be pesty pick him up
Speaker 2: or you know, just don't give him nothing easy.
Speaker 3: Man.
Speaker 2: I watched when I be watching the game, they take
Speaker 2: Steph out of the game. They be playing four and
Speaker 2: four out there. That man be staying at half court.
Speaker 2: His man don't even be looking at the ball. But uh,
Speaker 2: I got, I got, I got the t Wolves and.
Speaker 3: Made made a young fellow legacy continue.
Speaker 2: I think I think, I think, I think he's gonna
Speaker 2: be special in this series.
Speaker 3: And as a big game performer.
Speaker 2: I think the best thing that happened to add was
Speaker 2: going to the Bilympics and being around KD, being around Lebron,
Speaker 2: being around Steph Curry like, okay, mm hmmm, I'm where
Speaker 2: I belong to do m.
Speaker 3: Yeh monster grace. Yes.
Speaker 2: And so how they how they approach it, how they
Speaker 2: get themselves prepared, how they go about their business. Now, look,
Speaker 2: he's not gonna that's that's not what he is. He
Speaker 2: he hes not gonna be as butting up as Lebron
Speaker 2: and Steaf. But you got you just got accepted for
Speaker 2: who he is. That's who he is, and that was
Speaker 2: and you heard what you just said. Yes, he doesn't
Speaker 2: have to be as button up and he refused to
Speaker 2: be there.
Speaker 4: He's authentic to himself, which is why he's so relatable
Speaker 4: to everyone else. Why everybody's gonna be a fan. And
Speaker 4: way do you ask some people that to bring up
Speaker 4: stelf that has nothing to do with on the field,
Speaker 4: and I mean on the field on the fort Anthony Edwards.
Speaker 4: But man, I love and appreciate anybody that remained true
Speaker 4: to themselves and who they are without informing how they
Speaker 4: think you should be as an NBA player.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but no, don't.
Speaker 2: I don't just necessarily think it's an NBA player because
Speaker 2: every player is not held to the same standard as
Speaker 2: Lebron and a Steph Curry. Everybody wasn't held to the
Speaker 2: standard like Jordan. Everybody wasn't held to the standard like
Speaker 2: Bird and back of Kobe. There's difference. But when they say, okay,
Speaker 2: when they talk about the NBA and they have these
Speaker 2: pictures up there and your face is front and center,
Speaker 2: when they when when the NBA marketing campaign they want
Speaker 2: you front and center.
Speaker 3: It's just it's different.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 3: You got to realize these guys, like those old guys
Speaker 3: they got married.
Speaker 2: They you know, they not these guys, oh Jo, they
Speaker 2: playing video games, Jordan, They're playing no video game Magic
Speaker 2: Get Bird.
Speaker 3: The old guys wasn't playing on their video game.
Speaker 2: Man. These guys now they they playing card and they
Speaker 2: play at Fortnite against somebody else, somebody with a whole
Speaker 2: different team.
Speaker 3: Hey man, what's your name? What's your tag? All right?
Speaker 3: Come on checking fut.
Speaker 2: It's a different time now, and I think we have
Speaker 2: to change our way of thinking of what the face
Speaker 2: of the NBA is because the old faces, those guys aren't.
Speaker 5: Like that any now now. He Hey, look, whether whether
Speaker 5: he likes it or not. You know, when you chosen,
Speaker 5: you're chosen, bro, and you ain't nothing, nothing, nothing you
Speaker 5: can do about it.
Speaker 2: In the route that he's taking, whether he likes it
Speaker 2: or not, he complete this mission right here, it's gonna
Speaker 2: it's gonna happen whether he whether he likes it or not.
Speaker 3: And uh, that just comes with the game. It's part
Speaker 3: of it, man, you know what I mean. Yep, Look,
Speaker 3: were you chosen, Joe, you can't run from that.
Speaker 2: You remember Jonah, God told him say that you No,
Speaker 2: He's like, nah, nah, let somebody else, And so who
Speaker 2: what are you gonna do? He gonna get the boaty
Speaker 2: go that where the camera? And when he split his
Speaker 2: ass back up on the shore, what do you do?
Speaker 2: He went and did what Jesus asked me to do.
Speaker 2: You see where you chosen when you that's your calling.
Speaker 3: You can't run from it. Hey, listen, and you might
Speaker 3: not answer the phone. It's your calling.
Speaker 2: You might not answer the phone. Don't worry about it.
Speaker 2: He'll take care of the rest. Yeah, So you can't
Speaker 2: you you can't run from that. I understand because he's like, man, look,
Speaker 2: I want to go. I want to be free. I
Speaker 2: want to do what I want to do without y'all
Speaker 2: looking over my shoulder and cameras everywhere I go, because
Speaker 2: I might come out the little hole in the wall,
Speaker 2: and you know, basing the NBA is supposed to be
Speaker 2: in the hole.
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying, Joe, You know what I'm saying. Hey,
Speaker 3: I understand.
Speaker 2: But when the universe picky Baby, they picky Yu.
Speaker 3: Is a man.
Speaker 2: The best Big game player in the NBA currently, best
Speaker 2: big game player in the game currently. Man, We've had
Speaker 2: some guys play some big games. Uh yeah, I think
Speaker 2: I probably I probably give him a nine. I think
Speaker 2: because he just accepts it. Man. He's a little different
Speaker 2: than than some of the some of the other superstars
Speaker 2: that we have in the league. And I think that's
Speaker 2: why people gravitate to the rawness of who he is
Speaker 2: and how he speaks his mind, and how he carries
Speaker 2: himself and how he talks trash throughout the games. And
Speaker 2: oh yeah, I'm looking. I'm looking to play the warrior
Speaker 2: no matter who you are. Hold on, y'all seen what
Speaker 2: Obama said. He said, look at this guy right here,
Speaker 2: he can play a little bit. He said, you better
Speaker 2: stand down.
Speaker 3: I'm the truth. Yeah you're talking about stop playing with me.
Speaker 3: So uh, we we love that.
Speaker 2: We we gravitate toward it, and we and we all
Speaker 2: want to see him do good man, because he has
Speaker 2: a talent and night in and night out, bro, he
Speaker 2: gives us something spectacularly, you know what I mean, Because
Speaker 2: not only can't he make the three, he can play
Speaker 2: above the rim. He puts your ass on the poster.
Speaker 2: Now you go up there, if you want to. If hey,
Speaker 2: I'm telling you gonna be on his car, you're gonna
Speaker 2: be on his car. I think the underrated thing. I
Speaker 2: think his underrated attribute is his defense. Okay, oh Joe, Oh,
Speaker 2: I'm saying on any level where it's blocking shots, whether
Speaker 2: it's locking down, playing his one on one defense, fighting
Speaker 2: over picks, like he showed me some that Lakers series
Speaker 2: and I was like, yeah, young fella taking the next step,
Speaker 2: And that's what it is. Playing on both fans, being
Speaker 2: a two way superstar, you know what I mean, not
Speaker 2: just a two way player, but here a two ways
Speaker 2: too superstar, because he impacts the game on both fans
Speaker 2: of the floor.
Speaker 3: Just like in that last closeout game against the Lakers,
Speaker 3: he didn't.
Speaker 2: Play great offensively, but defensively he was disruptive, he made
Speaker 2: plays offensively, and he did enough for them to win,
Speaker 2: like it didn't take for him to you know, while
Speaker 2: you on the stat sheet. So yeah, I think that's
Speaker 2: I think that's the best part where you can tell
Speaker 2: about a player when you can find other ways to
Speaker 2: impact the game, even even when you're not doing what
Speaker 2: you're known for, which is scoring.
Speaker 3: Can I can I.
Speaker 2: Impact the game on Joe. If I if I don't
Speaker 2: have ten tracks, how's my blocking? How's my decoy?
Speaker 3: Am I getting out of there?
Speaker 2: Make everybody think I'm about to I'm about to get
Speaker 2: this rock when I know I'm just clear for somebody
Speaker 2: else to run the shallow or to run that deep open.
Speaker 2: But I didn't make sure I get that safety up
Speaker 2: out of there and pull that linebacker.
Speaker 3: Is that?
Speaker 2: Is that?
Speaker 3: Is that? Really?
Speaker 2: So you gotta find way other ways to impact the game,
Speaker 2: because sometimes guys only see their value if I'm catching
Speaker 2: past Yeah, if I'm scoring posts, you know, you gotta
Speaker 2: find value in other things also, and that's when you
Speaker 2: become the greatness. Maybe a May three, it's gonna be
Speaker 2: all of that. I call it the Russell Westbrook roller coaster,
Speaker 2: and that's what he just laid it out for. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I think, Hey, he buys you the airball, he might
Speaker 2: turn it over.
Speaker 3: You're like, don't run, don't shoot that.
Speaker 2: Come on runs and then when you least expected, he'll
Speaker 2: go four or five from the three, he'll get two steals,
Speaker 2: he'll make some big points. Go back and look at
Speaker 2: the series he played. Unbelievable short term memory. You know
Speaker 2: he has it he's short term. He got you know,
Speaker 2: just like in football from week to week, you got
Speaker 2: to put it behind your short term in we got oh,
Speaker 2: we got another game. Well, in basketball you play every
Speaker 2: other night, or considering in a in a in a
Speaker 2: basketball game and possessions, Russe, if he come down missing,
Speaker 2: wind up and layup, he gonna hustle back, try to
Speaker 2: get the block or steal like a lit It's a lie,
Speaker 2: it is, and you have to you have to accept that, dude.
Speaker 2: You have to accept. You have to take the good
Speaker 2: with the bad. But just no one thing. He gives
Speaker 2: you everything he got you ain't got. Come on, he Russ,
Speaker 2: pick it up a little bit, you ain't. Russ has
Speaker 2: never had a coach to tell him to pick it.
Speaker 2: You might have to say, sons, calm sell, hey, come on,
Speaker 2: do something down you Okay, you might have to tell
Speaker 2: him to settle down or calm down, but you never
Speaker 2: have to tell him to pick it up, because he's
Speaker 2: gonna give you that effort and you can appreciate that.
Speaker 2: And sometime and and and and trying to give you
Speaker 2: everything he got. He's a little out of control. He'll
Speaker 2: fumble the ball out of it. I mean the other
Speaker 2: He had two point blank layups the boat in Game six.
Speaker 2: But he come but he come right back, He come
Speaker 2: right back down. He gonna get you a second, but
Speaker 2: he gonna get your extra possessions because he's gonna battle
Speaker 2: somebody for the rebound. I saw him last night a
Speaker 2: line against He got to get the rebound. He ain't
Speaker 2: got no fishes whatsoever. When you ever see the six
Speaker 2: pot guard in the box trying to get a real
Speaker 2: bits and that's why you got a lover.
Speaker 3: He gonna be. Is Rust the X factor the Nuggets
Speaker 3: against the Thunder? Is he the X factor? Uh?
Speaker 2: Maybe if he played well, obviously they always got a
Speaker 2: great chance of winning. But I think this Thunder team is, uh,
Speaker 2: it's their time. It's that moment they've been They've been
Speaker 2: sent around waiting and I know we can go off
Speaker 2: Rust or you know, whatever the case may be. But
Speaker 2: I think this is a young team who's prepared and
Speaker 2: understands the moment and they're gonna come Already. Yeah, it's
Speaker 2: gonna be. It's gonna it's definitely gonna. It's definitely gonna
Speaker 2: be interesting to see. Obviously, you need you need Yoke
Speaker 2: and Murray to do what they do. I think probably
Speaker 2: Gordon has been really consistent over the last three to
Speaker 2: four games. He's been really consistent in that that last
Speaker 2: series against the Clippers. He needs to play really well. Uh,
Speaker 2: A big body guy that can that can put their
Speaker 2: fan now. But his offense is playing well. He's knocking
Speaker 2: down the three. Uh, he crashes the glass. If I
Speaker 2: had to say an next fact that I think they
Speaker 2: need Michael Porter jam yeah he cut because sometimes he
Speaker 2: sometimes you know, he he drifts if he can get
Speaker 2: but when he's go ahead, But yeah, I agree if
Speaker 2: he can get him some consistent uh, some consistent productivity
Speaker 2: in this series to where they able to compete, you know,
Speaker 2: they they they always gonna have a great chance. Like
Speaker 2: I think we all know what yok is gonna do.
Speaker 2: He's gonna make them dudes around him better than if
Speaker 2: he have to score forty or fifty. We know he'll
Speaker 2: do that as well. But uh, I like, I like
Speaker 2: how uh you know the series went throughout the regular season,
Speaker 2: how they played and how okay see uh competes against them.
Speaker 2: So I just don't think they got nobody who could
Speaker 2: deal with Shaye on the perimeter. If you just if
Speaker 2: I'm just being honest, you know what I mean, Like
Speaker 2: I think, you know, I think he's gonna be able
Speaker 2: to pretty much have his weight. Now, yeah, you probably
Speaker 2: could have put Gordon on him sometime, but even him,
Speaker 2: I just I just don't think they I don't think
Speaker 2: they're going nobody who who can stop him?
Speaker 3: No, I think Broun.
Speaker 2: I think Brown will start because he seemed to be
Speaker 2: their best defender. But that's what happened when you let
Speaker 2: K C. P go and you let h what's the
Speaker 2: other guy named that, they end up defense Bruce Brown. Yeah,
Speaker 2: they let him go, and so now it's really left
Speaker 2: up to Christian Broun because he's really the only defender
Speaker 2: like the Gordon.
Speaker 3: But I don't I don't think they're gonna put Gordon
Speaker 3: on the point.
Speaker 2: They normally put Gordon on the big guy if it's
Speaker 2: Lebron or if it's a KD guys like your Jason Tate.
Speaker 3: I don't.
Speaker 2: I'm saying if he get it going though, I'm saying,
Speaker 2: if he get it going to one of them games,
Speaker 2: you can't stop him.
Speaker 3: You're gonna have to you try to put you try
Speaker 3: to put that light out.
Speaker 2: And put some size on him, you know what I mean,
Speaker 2: Because them guys, yeah, ain't no six six, No, he's six.
Speaker 2: He gonna you know, he gonna get to his spots
Speaker 2: and raise up, and them litt dudes ain't gonna be
Speaker 2: able to do nothing with.
Speaker 3: That, right. I just gotta make it tough.
Speaker 2: I just gotta I gotta keep I gotta keep hey Joe,
Speaker 2: I gotta keep him from the rim, and I gott
Speaker 2: keep him up the free throw line if he making
Speaker 2: threes and pull ups.
Speaker 3: I got hey, I can't take every damn thing away,
Speaker 3: can You gotta live with that?
Speaker 2: But he he's the one dude who has mid range
Speaker 2: game down to the tee and if nothing, if he
Speaker 2: can't get his three off to get to the bad ship,
Speaker 2: he gonna always be able to get to his mini.
Speaker 3: So this is what I'm talking about.
Speaker 2: That's the step that I was talking about that I want,
Speaker 2: you know, Jalen Green to make and just being able
Speaker 2: to get to that mir range because he's so athletic, Bro,
Speaker 2: he can get up once.
Speaker 3: Once he go in to his shot, you can't block that, right.
Speaker 3: You gotta put that time in the last ojo you
Speaker 3: like in this series. I lie, I'm going with the
Speaker 3: young bulls. I'm going I'm going with the young bulls.
Speaker 3: Even though, like.
Speaker 4: When you ask a question about the X factor, I
Speaker 4: think the X factor would be Russ. Obviously with Russ
Speaker 4: coming off the bench, we know what, Yoka Yoka, you
Speaker 4: know what, Joke are gonna do if they have a
Speaker 4: chance to win this series. If the Nuggets do have
Speaker 4: a chance, I think Russell would have to be the
Speaker 4: difference maker. Eas have to be the difference maker. Obviously,
Speaker 4: Porter has to do what he needs to do. Murray
Speaker 4: is gonna be Murray.
Speaker 3: And you know what, you know what Joker do.
Speaker 4: I really think Russell Westbrook has to be that that
Speaker 4: that X factor and or if you even have a
Speaker 4: chance to win this series.
Speaker 3: But I'm going to think that.
Speaker 2: Make okay, See so tough is that they got guys
Speaker 2: coming off the bench that's sitting in the chair. They're
Speaker 2: mainly there. Yeah they're sitting in the chair, but they
Speaker 2: can knock down threes. You look at Caruso, you look
Speaker 2: at Isaiah, Joe, you look at you Wiggins. They got guys, man,
Speaker 2: they really Wallace, yes, yeah, and you know you still
Speaker 2: got lou Dort, You got Jalen Williams. So they got
Speaker 2: six guys that are three in D guys. There are
Speaker 2: very many teams that have that many guys of three
Speaker 2: and D and they got two. Sound like you're going
Speaker 2: with them? For tell like you going with OKC two.
Speaker 2: It's hard to go against Joe game.
Speaker 4: It is.
Speaker 2: Because you can see him and in some sense you
Speaker 2: can kind of see him going in there showing out.
Speaker 3: You can kind of see him.
Speaker 2: Because of the NBB if it's the two league candidates
Speaker 2: for the mp He said, li, let me show you, hey,
Speaker 2: let me show y'all why you.
Speaker 3: Win it forty five, nineteen and thirteen.
Speaker 2: Yeah, hey, listen, and we wouldn't be surprised if we
Speaker 2: see those stat numbers. But yeah, I totally understand, uh
Speaker 2: that they're definitely capable of winning the series.
Speaker 3: I just seen some holes in their defense or.
Speaker 2: In the oh yeah yeah, yo, yeah, yeah, they definitely
Speaker 2: have absolutely true. Holiday is set to return from injury
Speaker 2: Game one versus the Knicks. Holiday will make his return
Speaker 2: to the floor after missing the final three games of
Speaker 2: Boston first round series with a hamstring string. How important
Speaker 2: is it for the give for them? God, He's probably
Speaker 2: gonna match you up with bruns. He probably take bruns.
Speaker 2: But you got a bunch of guys you could throw
Speaker 2: it bruns. You throw der White bruns. You could throw
Speaker 2: Holiday at runs you put you could put Jaylen Brown.
Speaker 4: On base, you put you put Holiday coming off an
Speaker 4: injury out there in front of the brunts, and he's
Speaker 4: gonna put hen.
Speaker 3: You're gonna pull something. He's gonnau he gonna pull something. Yeah,
Speaker 3: you're and der White you can put.
Speaker 4: You can put Dareck White on He's gonna be gonna
Speaker 4: saft Derek White up too. You can put Jayleen Brown
Speaker 4: out there, only two. He gonna soft Jayleen Brown up
Speaker 4: there too. You gotta understand every everybody you're naming players
Speaker 4: that are really good. You're naming players are the defensive players,
Speaker 4: but everyone Jalen Brunson goes against. He gonna get to
Speaker 4: a spot. He gonna drive, hes gonna use his body,
Speaker 4: he gonna do what he always do regards with who
Speaker 4: make him at.
Speaker 3: The ineficient as possible. That's all I'm trying to do.
Speaker 3: He gonna get to his wife.
Speaker 2: I'm trying, Hey, he get thirty three, I'm trying to
Speaker 2: get make him take thirty shots to get Okay, that's all.
Speaker 2: I'm just trying to wear him down. He's just trying
Speaker 2: to get different looks, different bodies hopefully. Look, they just
Speaker 2: come out of grueling series as well. He was banged
Speaker 2: up a little bit in that serious so he came
Speaker 2: on to the next series.
Speaker 3: You know that.
Speaker 2: Hey, we gotta make it tough on him. I'm trying
Speaker 2: to hound him. He like, like Joe said, he just
Speaker 2: came out of seven game series. He's having forty forty
Speaker 2: two minutes a night. Yeah, so ay, see pick him up.
Speaker 2: D White, you got it, Hey, Jaylor, you got it? Holiday,
Speaker 2: you take it? Oh yeah, we just go ay. Peyton Fritcher,
Speaker 2: Hey be passed. Just buzz riding like a nab annoy
Speaker 2: the hell out of it. Hey, uh, I'm sure the
Speaker 2: cells happened to happen back because, like you said, Jaylen
Speaker 2: Brust is the one guy that really can create his own.
Speaker 2: It's gonna be interested to see the matchup. They'll probably
Speaker 2: put O g on, j On on Tatum. This is
Speaker 2: what they got, I thinking, probably probably take Josh Hart,
Speaker 2: probably have them on Jaylen Brown.
Speaker 3: Who Bridges gonna go on? Who You're putting Bridges on? Oh?
Speaker 2: Bridges you know what I think Bridges might you know
Speaker 2: what Bridges might take Jaylen Brown?
Speaker 3: Yeah? And did Josh Hart take Derry White? Yeah? O
Speaker 3: g On Tatum yep, yeah, this is why they went
Speaker 3: and got Hey.
Speaker 2: But here's the thing, who y'all and I guess Brazilias
Speaker 2: and Cat Yeah, Horford and Cat.
Speaker 3: Yeah? What you got? What you got on? You've got
Speaker 3: nixt Nixon six. I got the Celtics, Oh my bad, Okay,
Speaker 3: I got the Celtics, Joe, I got the Celtics.
Speaker 2: That the five old I got to I got to
Speaker 2: sell this Joe old Joe. Uh, you know, a very
Speaker 2: experienced scene, you know, obviously. Uh.
Speaker 3: And they've been playing well they they know what these
Speaker 3: battles are like.
Speaker 2: And they've had the next number, you know, over the years. Yeah,
Speaker 2: you know, I don't even think this is gonna be
Speaker 2: a long series. I actually think it's gonna be a
Speaker 2: a sure one.
Speaker 3: Actually, Sweeting, I ain't said, sweet man, what the hell
Speaker 3: about you? You ain't like about five predictions? What hell go?
Speaker 2: You don't like that pick saying you got you or
Speaker 2: the five out on the five we got I gotta
Speaker 2: break it back because he lay, we got to find
Speaker 2: something that's catchy. I mean for the Celtics. Don't you remember,
Speaker 2: hey Joe, you remember they brought the seat that they
Speaker 2: brought the bill box pants back. Remember the Bail Bottom
Speaker 2: g they backing style, Bail Bottom drafted pants back. Everybody
Speaker 2: care thing come for a circle, bull sock ain't come
Speaker 2: for a circle. But uh yeah, I say this, I
Speaker 2: I got I do got the Celtics in bout five.
Speaker 2: I say the Nicks won in the game. Got back
Speaker 2: something very interesting for the both of you guys. The
Speaker 2: number of players declaring for the NBA Draft by year.
Speaker 2: In twenty twenty and twenty twenty one, it was three
Speaker 2: fifty three. In twenty twenty two it was two eighty three,
Speaker 2: and twenty twenty three it was two forty two. In
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four it was two oh one. This year
Speaker 2: it's only one hundred and six. And I am money,
Speaker 2: ol Jo. Yeah, got the boy like you the way
Speaker 2: if you don't stay here to get a quick two
Speaker 2: fifty five hunding.
Speaker 3: Hey, you gonna give me that money in I'm gonna
Speaker 3: stay right head college. Yeah. Listen.
Speaker 4: Also the opportunity, with the great understanding, your chances to
Speaker 4: make it to the NBA and actually playing in the
Speaker 4: NBA or making that squad.
Speaker 3: It's only a team who what fifteen, right, how many players?
Speaker 2: It is? Fifteen to team fifty? So you got about
Speaker 2: four hundred players. Yeah, man, I'm four fifty.
Speaker 3: I'm I'm a better on myself in college and get
Speaker 3: as much as I can. And that's four fifty. That's
Speaker 3: every year. That ain't just this year. Is yeah, like
Speaker 3: they ask up, he know, he You're gonna be four
Speaker 3: sixty day.
Speaker 2: Look look, if you got fifty sixty guys coming in
Speaker 2: every year, you got fifty sixty leaving every year.
Speaker 3: So that's that is. And that's why I tell Cash.
Speaker 2: As hard as it is to make it to the league, bro,
Speaker 2: it's even harder to stick, you know what I mean,
Speaker 2: it's harder to stick because once you get there, you
Speaker 2: can't exhale. You know what I'm saying. You gotta keep going,
Speaker 2: you gotta keep pushing. You got to work even harder.
Speaker 2: So uh, you know, I tell cats all the time,
Speaker 2: Bro can't it's hard, it's Joe. And that's what I
Speaker 2: tell football players. I say, Bro, it's easier to get
Speaker 2: in the league and stay, then get out the league
Speaker 2: and try to get back here. Yeah, because you think
Speaker 2: it's hard getting in, get in and get out, and
Speaker 2: try to get back.
Speaker 3: In here unless you're unless you're a quarterback and you
Speaker 3: gotta be decent. Yeah.
Speaker 2: And what they're saying with your well at the stadium.
Speaker 2: You know, you go to the game, you lead, Actually
Speaker 2: the rner, you can't get back in here.
Speaker 3: Hey what what you in? See? I gotta take it?
Speaker 3: Got the ticket? They dob, Bro.
Speaker 2: You don't left use we can't let you back in
Speaker 2: the game. And that's how they feel about sports. It's like, Bro,
Speaker 2: I was just here a year ago. I was only
Speaker 2: going a year y'all think you say back, I was
Speaker 2: going to decade. Well yeah, a lot of other people
Speaker 2: that came in bro. We the NFL. They had seventy
Speaker 2: early declarations in twenty twenty five, down from eighty two
Speaker 2: and twenty twenty three, and I all changed the game.
Speaker 2: College athletes aren't finding value, risking turning pro when they're
Speaker 2: gonna earn sixeth figures right here.
Speaker 3: And that's what I say. Why am I gonna go
Speaker 3: to the NFL? Hold joke.
Speaker 2: If there's a possibility, man not gonna give me six million,
Speaker 2: stay right here. But quarterbacks.
Speaker 4: But also you have to understand the people that are
Speaker 4: choosing to go back, they questioning themselves. You question themselves
Speaker 4: great well with great understanding. Well, hell, if I know
Speaker 4: what I'm gonna get going to the NFL and in
Speaker 4: in the draft, it's because I know I'm I'm that boy,
Speaker 4: because you.
Speaker 3: Know that's what I gonna get. I told Quinny, what
Speaker 3: did I tell you, Ojoe?
Speaker 2: If I'm quinn yours, I take my butt, I go
Speaker 2: jump into that portal and I go somewhere and I
Speaker 2: make me three four million.
Speaker 3: Dollars a year, one more.
Speaker 2: Yes, as opposed to be a fifth or six or
Speaker 2: seventh trouved draft bit, because I believe he could have
Speaker 2: built his value. He could have been you know who
Speaker 2: knows a first or second day b and picked up
Speaker 2: at three four MILLI I would have cause if Carson
Speaker 2: Back jumped in the portal and got four million from
Speaker 2: the universe in miam which called I'm a lever, cause
Speaker 2: you know, look at his last name, high spelled I'm
Speaker 2: a lever. That's what he did at Tennessee.
Speaker 3: He left.
Speaker 2: Now, I don't know why he left for state like
Speaker 2: Tembasee with no state income tax to go to California
Speaker 2: to take three four hundred thousand dollars less word there
Speaker 2: fifty percent of state.
Speaker 3: Tawn Mecca Bake Send, Meca Bake send is ojoke, listen, don't.
Speaker 3: I don't know who was advising him. I'm not sure
Speaker 3: where he thought he could make more.
Speaker 4: But again, I I always tell you, if you if
Speaker 4: you deserve what you was asking for, they gave it
Speaker 4: to you where you was at, because that's what they
Speaker 4: thought of you.
Speaker 3: The Warriors on the brink of blowing another three one lead.
Speaker 2: Throughout the NBA history, there have been two hundred and
Speaker 2: ninety instances in which the team is going uh three
Speaker 2: to one in the playoffs the series, only thirteen times
Speaker 2: had the team come back to win. The Warriors know
Speaker 2: all too wellow out blow the three to one lead
Speaker 2: if they're one of the thirteen teams to do so.
Speaker 3: Cute who you got tomorrow night? Oh man?
Speaker 2: This is a tough one for me because you know
Speaker 2: game seven is you throw everything out the window. Book,
Speaker 2: But I can'tnot roll out with with with with with
Speaker 2: the light Skinned Assassin and Jimmy Bucket and dre mind
Speaker 2: just with the experience.
Speaker 3: They got, man like if I'm wrong. I take that
Speaker 3: to the ten.
Speaker 2: But I just with the just with the inconsistent instancies
Speaker 2: of the young boys over there in Houston, I gotta
Speaker 2: I gotta row in consistent of Jalen Green. Go ahead
Speaker 2: and say that everybody else. Hey, Fred van Fleet, the
Speaker 2: last five games have been on one. Hey, that's a listen.
Speaker 2: I feel like we don't even respect, Like Fred van
Speaker 2: Vliet is a champion, a dog, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 2: Like he got a proper respect.
Speaker 3: He doing what I expect to do.
Speaker 2: He over there and like win lose a draw, Houston
Speaker 2: Rockets is gonna be back, win, lose a draw, they
Speaker 2: gonna be right back like they forgot something they got.
Speaker 3: He may got them boys growing.
Speaker 2: I love what I love, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 2: Like we're talking about Van Vliet being a veteran og
Speaker 2: out there people to get it done and then pack
Speaker 2: the game and be able to show them and say
Speaker 2: what he's saying and they mean something.
Speaker 3: Because he out there. So I like what they got
Speaker 3: going on.
Speaker 2: But even still with that being said, I don't know
Speaker 2: you got when you got when you got that little
Speaker 2: dude number thirty. All it take is if he hit one,
Speaker 2: it's now we were in the matrix. He turned to
Speaker 2: Neo and everything else. It don't matter. We didn't all
Speaker 2: seen it happen. The game could could comminge on that
Speaker 2: right there, if he come out and make one shot
Speaker 2: and start looking funny, if he give you a little shindy,
Speaker 2: it's curtains.
Speaker 3: It's about to be a long night.
Speaker 2: And it's like, I don't know, like you say with
Speaker 2: the with the to me when I say inconsistencies with Huskin,
Speaker 2: it's like they don't know where they gonna where they
Speaker 2: gonna get they scoring from from night to night. It's
Speaker 2: like it's nice, like you know who leads them and scoring,
Speaker 2: and you know who you would expect to do it,
Speaker 2: but like it's not it's not concrete. You can't hang
Speaker 2: your hat on it, like all right, we're gonna go
Speaker 2: such and such from from this player or that player.
Speaker 2: It's like it might be anybody. And when you got
Speaker 2: something like that, it's hard for me to roll the
Speaker 2: dice with that. Yeah, look, shing Goon has been some sensational.
Speaker 2: He's been doing a great job. He leads them in points, rebounds,
Speaker 2: assised and steal. I thought I may inserting Steven Adams.
Speaker 2: He was a difference maker the other night. He gave
Speaker 2: him rebounding, he gave him toughness.
Speaker 3: Uh, he did.
Speaker 2: He did all the right plays. You know that he
Speaker 2: went to hacker Adams. He may note of sixteen. And
Speaker 2: sometimes I think that takes the team out of their
Speaker 2: rhythm because you now you don't get a flow.
Speaker 3: You stop, you don't get to go up and down.
Speaker 2: But and I don't know what Fred van Fleet did
Speaker 2: from games three through six, I mean four through six.
Speaker 2: But he been old one. Yeah, he I mean he's
Speaker 2: been old one. I mean he's I'm talking about. He's
Speaker 2: coming down on the break and he like, now you're
Speaker 2: on the basket. I don't want the two. I want
Speaker 2: this pull up. I want this twenty six foot pull up.
Speaker 2: And it's been it's been money. I like what they're
Speaker 2: doing when it comes to Steff because and he tried
Speaker 2: to come up that pick. They doubling make him get
Speaker 2: them all up because I don't believe. Look, Draymond, I'm
Speaker 2: not worried about Draymond. You know that Draymond always take
Speaker 2: the first shot because you why the that's open, Nigga,
Speaker 2: leave moving two? You not finna make eight of those,
Speaker 2: Steph Curry can, so you shoot as many of them
Speaker 2: as you want. Draymond, We're not gonna worry. We're not
Speaker 2: gonna worry ourselves with that, but what we will wear
Speaker 2: ourselves with. And to make sure Steph don't get a rich,
Speaker 2: don't catch founders, keep Jimmy Butler off the free throw
Speaker 2: line because you know he's gonna attack the basket.
Speaker 3: It's gonna be interesting to see Steve Curle, how does
Speaker 3: he play this thing?
Speaker 2: Because remember the other night he started Gary Payton second,
Speaker 2: he went away from his normal line up with Potzimski.
Speaker 2: So does he go back to that queue or does
Speaker 2: he still does he ride? Does he ride with Gary
Speaker 2: Payton the second again? Or is is Moody inserted into
Speaker 2: the starting lineup? What's he gonna what's he gonna do?
Speaker 2: I might start Moody and bring bring up, bring bring
Speaker 2: gp off because he's a pace changer to me, you
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying. He comes in and supposed to
Speaker 2: break braise and energy and things like that. If it's
Speaker 2: not right, try and get some energy, defensive energy going.
Speaker 2: I would start Moody to see I mean, I like
Speaker 2: what Moody's been doing. He presents a lot of length defensively,
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying. And I wouldn't I would
Speaker 2: start him. He's been shooting the bar. I mean not
Speaker 2: not I as well as you. He makes a big show. Yeah,
Speaker 2: he's he's telling that he had knocked down the shot,
Speaker 2: and he'll make some plays drive to the basket, and
Speaker 2: like I say, most importantly, he got that. He got
Speaker 2: a lot of lean defensively, and that's you know, that's
Speaker 2: always big in these games.
Speaker 3: Ojoe, what you think the Warrior's gonna blow another three
Speaker 3: one league? Absolutely not. You know, Curry not having another
Speaker 3: bad game like that.
Speaker 4: Listen, even with even what they try to do, trapping him,
Speaker 4: you know, making making all shots contested, it's not happening.
Speaker 3: Listen.
Speaker 4: The Warriors have a championship pedigree and there's no way
Speaker 4: in hell they lose a game seven.
Speaker 2: Not like this.
Speaker 4: It's definitely not gonna happen. I think Draymond, Draymond can
Speaker 4: do what Draymond does, Jimmy Butler, like you say, he
Speaker 4: gonna get to the basket whether they try to stop
Speaker 4: it or not. He's gonna be aggressive, He's gonna be playoff.
Speaker 3: Jimmy like we used to see him when he was
Speaker 3: with Miami and and and Curry. He gonna cook.
Speaker 4: He gonna cook, especially after after that last game. He's
Speaker 4: not gonna have another performance.
Speaker 2: I think Draymond need to make sure he stayed within
Speaker 2: himself because I think sometimes he gets going too early
Speaker 2: and he kind of gets himself. He gets himself out
Speaker 2: of out of rhythm. He gets early files, he gets
Speaker 2: text and now he knows in a game like Game seven,
Speaker 2: they gonna probably get to take early because you know,
Speaker 2: they're not gonna throw him out.
Speaker 3: They don't want to impact the game like that.
Speaker 2: So he he he has a very good understanding because
Speaker 2: most players to do with Draymond, dunt oh, they'll be gone,
Speaker 2: they be teed up.
Speaker 3: Woo or would you say whoo take that with you
Speaker 3: on the on the way out, go out of here, bro. Yeah,
Speaker 3: but they wouldn't do. They wouldn't do. They wouldn't do
Speaker 3: them do that to him in the playoffs though, Uh.
Speaker 2: No, That's what I'm saying. He knows, but I think
Speaker 2: sometimes he gets it, gets somebody his get now. Sometimes
Speaker 2: he robs himself up. He gets the team going. But
Speaker 2: it had the opposite effect. The other night they got
Speaker 2: the rockets going. Yeah, Tren Goon, there was there was
Speaker 2: problem on the glass. I mean they crushed them. They
Speaker 2: crushed them on the glass. They had twenty five offensive rebounds.
Speaker 2: That's part of d mind. Soon he gotta play with
Speaker 2: that edge. You gotta play with the you know, with
Speaker 2: the way he played, that's that's part of what makes
Speaker 2: him him. If he doesn't play like that, he's not
Speaker 2: as impact for as or as effective as he can't be.
Speaker 3: Now, I agree with you. He got to toe that
Speaker 3: line and tuck it in when he needed to.
Speaker 2: But like he absolutely gotta play like that to be
Speaker 2: the most impactful and the best version of Draymond Green.
Speaker 3: Like you say, you can't step over that line, but
Speaker 3: he gotta toe it.
Speaker 2: And and plus that big line up that Houston go
Speaker 2: out there with with with Sam, with El Sam Adams,
Speaker 2: with Steven Adams and Shingoon. The Warriors can't match up
Speaker 2: with that. That's why Adams and Shangoon was killing him
Speaker 2: on the glass. God, you really you don't want to
Speaker 2: play looney, You really don't, because you don't really give
Speaker 2: you a whole lot offense. But he set pigs and
Speaker 2: he could rebound, but shin gooon gonna put it whoever
Speaker 2: on the on the offensive end. And so now you
Speaker 2: got big Adams, They like, okay, now you take a
Speaker 2: shoot off the floor. We want you to play. You know,
Speaker 2: they try to. They try to put posts out there.
Speaker 2: Who's a big that can stretch the Floyd shoot that?
Speaker 2: But he's a little bit too inconsistent. So if I may,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna keep listening Curry. I'm gonna try to get
Speaker 2: the ball out of his hand as much as I
Speaker 2: possibly can. I'm gonna trap it every chance I get.
Speaker 2: He goes to that corner. Hey, the big guy roll
Speaker 2: we come we come from. We get your help backside
Speaker 2: hold on. We're not let Kurr get no easy shots. Huh.
Speaker 4: We talked about Curry, We talked about Jimmy, we talked
Speaker 4: about Draymond. We ain't talk about the elephant in the room.
Speaker 4: What is Kurr gonna do about Kaminga. Obviously, you're mostly
Speaker 4: one of your most athletic players.
Speaker 3: We lived against the Rockets and the game's durning us.
Speaker 2: In the regular season against the Rockets, he averaged the
Speaker 2: most points for the Warriors against them, So.
Speaker 3: It only makes sense. It only said that game seven
Speaker 3: to put him in there. I don't Jonathan.
Speaker 2: Steve curR said, Jonathan Kaminga returns to the rotation of
Speaker 2: the one hundred percent on the table for in game seven,
Speaker 2: one hundred percent Kaminga is on the table. We kind
Speaker 2: of found a formula head in the latter part of
Speaker 2: the season. We've stayed with that for him to start
Speaker 2: this series up three to one. Things are going well,
Speaker 2: and obviously the last few games are gone very poorly.
Speaker 2: We have to assess everything. The lineup combination started, all
Speaker 2: of that we have to assess. I don't know why
Speaker 2: he fell out of favor and what happened with that.
Speaker 2: But did y'all see him the last time he got
Speaker 2: in the games? He didn't look like he was like,
Speaker 2: he didn't look locked in and looked like he would be.
Speaker 2: I hope the young fellows do get out there and
Speaker 2: balled out of but I hate so from the looks
Speaker 2: of everything that he did last time, they don't look
Speaker 2: likely done. Looks like he's mentally there, you know, like
Speaker 2: when you were a young fellow like that. I don't
Speaker 2: know how easy it is for you to get back
Speaker 2: into it.
Speaker 4: Right, Hey, a Q when when you have a coach
Speaker 4: that that is not playing you and you don't know
Speaker 4: what's going on of what happened. Obviously we don't know
Speaker 4: from the outside looking at what happened internally. For you
Speaker 4: to be one of the best players on that team
Speaker 4: that can contribute on both on both ends of the
Speaker 4: court and then not getting me playing time, it has
Speaker 4: to be it has to be something.
Speaker 3: It has to be something that we don't know publicly.
Speaker 3: But I'm me. I hope his confidence is there. You know,

Speaker 2: that he ran from, that he tried to take one
Speaker 2: of him and bring it bestow on these other organizations
Speaker 2: when he went there.
Speaker 3: So it wasn't all bad. You already listen.

Speaker 2: But you know how you already know what you when
Speaker 2: you sign up, if you get, if you get y'arnis
Speaker 2: what you see.
Speaker 3: What the y'all's brother is where you at? You ain't
Speaker 3: time out? Time out? Though, when you just said you
Speaker 3: already know what you get when you sign up, right,
Speaker 3: so you have you.
Speaker 2: Can't say that and then say that Lebron came to
Speaker 2: Miami as a free agent knowing, knowing that the Godfather
Speaker 2: was the Godfather, and the Godfather do what the Godfather
Speaker 2: does and he always had You signed.
Speaker 3: Up for that. I did, but not for the de
Speaker 3: petty and take some damn cookies away. I ain't anything. Listen,
Speaker 3: you told.
Speaker 2: It could have been a head, then it could have
Speaker 2: been anything, but the cookies is what set it up.
Speaker 2: But like, this is what you signed up for when
Speaker 2: you signed up. I ain't sign up for this. I
Speaker 2: signed him to come down here to get structure. I
Speaker 2: wanted to play with d Wade, Chris Bosh and okay,
Speaker 2: trs me to get you two championships, and it showed
Speaker 2: you how to go on the rest of the way
Speaker 2: of be a champion.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we talked.
Speaker 4: We talked about the heat of the old Let's talk
Speaker 4: about the new heat. Let's talk about the new heat.
Speaker 4: And it doesn't matter, it's still Pat running it. I'm
Speaker 4: gonna say they about to get somebody.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I've been talking tall already. I already know.
Speaker 3: That's what you, that's what you.
Speaker 2: That's that's what people always understood and knew. Pat Riley
Speaker 2: the godfather is always won't move away. And then they
Speaker 2: won the championship. Like he always willing to swing for
Speaker 2: the fences and do what needs to be gone, but
Speaker 2: he don't have the draft capital to do it. What
Speaker 2: are you gonna do? I think about it.
Speaker 3: He couldn't get Kevin Durant, he couldn't get Damn Lillard.
Speaker 2: So in order to get well, let's just say, for
Speaker 2: the sake of argument, Kevin Durant, what do you think
Speaker 2: it's gonna take for him to get Kevin Durant?
Speaker 3: He gonna have to give up to hero and Bam.
Speaker 3: Then what who could he get? Johnson? I don't think so.
Speaker 3: I told you, I told you who were going to get.
Speaker 3: I told you already, told you already. I told I
Speaker 3: think a Q.
Speaker 4: I sat down with Pat, pat Riley and Mickey Harrison.
Speaker 4: I done told Robert Lorry, I have told the ice
Speaker 4: old Joe. I have told you already and I'm telling you.
Speaker 4: I'm telling you too. I talked to Pat, I sat.
Speaker 3: Down with Nick Harrison, and we're gonna get honest, we're
Speaker 3: gonna get John Morn. I'm trying to figure out what
Speaker 3: are you?
Speaker 2: But see the thing listen, only they're only a handful
Speaker 2: of team that have the pieces, but they want assets
Speaker 2: because they gave up all those assets to get said players. Q.
Speaker 2: You know how this thing worked a lot of time, Like, man,
Speaker 2: I want to go over there, and when you get there,
Speaker 2: they had to they had to gut it to get you.
Speaker 2: And so now you they're in the same situation you
Speaker 2: were in where you left from. They're not gonna be
Speaker 2: able to I don't see how they get to Kevin
Speaker 2: Durant in Miami and keep Bam and Tyler Hero. Oh
Speaker 2: you talking about I want Dunki Robinson and Hospital And
Speaker 2: you'd be surprised what what these deals shake out once
Speaker 2: these players step out and say that they want to
Speaker 2: be moved. We seen like guys ain't been like been
Speaker 2: yielding what you thought, like when you look at what
Speaker 2: Rudy Gobert got in his trade and then the trade he.
Speaker 3: Got four first rounders?
Speaker 2: Yeah, what what what started happening after he did that?
Speaker 2: Nobody was getting all of these first rounders and it
Speaker 2: was looking how like how did Rudy get you hit
Speaker 2: Rudy for all of this, and you hit such and
Speaker 2: such for all of that that it wasn't.
Speaker 3: Going the same way.
Speaker 2: They're not giving as much up, especially when these teams,
Speaker 2: like when you get putting that pigeonhole like a player,
Speaker 2: come out and say, hey, I won't out of.
Speaker 3: Out like you done.
Speaker 2: You're not like we ain't gotta we ain't gotta be
Speaker 2: in your backing cub because we are basically helping you
Speaker 2: at this point because your dude just said he won't out.
Speaker 2: So no matter what happens, you gotta get out or
Speaker 2: got you. Your situation is blown up. So at that point,
Speaker 2: all if they exhausted to a certain point, it'll get bad.
Speaker 3: See I told you, I told it. Here is the thing.
Speaker 2: Why didn't get that bad? Why didn't get that bad?
Speaker 2: They can make pull the trigger for Dame Lillard.
Speaker 3: That question.
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know the answer to that. I
Speaker 2: thought that I thought that was a done deal. Like
Speaker 2: everybody else, they didn't want to give up Tyler Hero.
Speaker 3: I don't.
Speaker 2: I don't see if I don't scenario where a team
Speaker 2: doesn't get Tyler Hero back as a piece.
Speaker 3: Do you see that scenario. Never know, man, You know
Speaker 3: I didn't see it.
Speaker 2: I didn't see I didn't see a scenario on the
Speaker 2: planet where Dallas was trading Luca.
Speaker 3: But look what happened. Yeah, so I didn't learn my lesson,
Speaker 3: like I didn't see Shaq get traded. You know what
Speaker 3: I'm saying.
Speaker 2: MJ left the boys like anything happened in the right circumstances.
Speaker 3: They'll do whatever they feel is the best. That's just
Speaker 3: how I go. And then they gonna tell you that's good.
Speaker 3: Didn'tess you know what I'm saying, was best for the organization.
Speaker 2: That's why don't be mad when players go do what
Speaker 2: they gotta doo
