Speaker 2: and reviews for your boys if you haven't done so already.

16
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 2: We got some fun games to talk about once again again.

17
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 2: The playoffs are on one right now. I guess first question,

18
00:00:55,400 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 2: will a home team ever win another playoff game? Discuss No.

19
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 2: We'll also get into some news, got Coach of the Year,

20
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:04,679
Speaker 2: Executive of the Year and all that stuff. But yeah,

21
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:08,399
Speaker 2: the Pacers scored the final eight points in about forty

22
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:13,399
Speaker 2: seven forty eight seconds to stun the shorthanded Cavaliers one

23
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 2: nineteen last night they take the two a lead in

24
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:19,960
Speaker 2: their Eastern Conference second round series. It was a real

25
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:22,319
Speaker 2: what the hell just happened once again with the Pacers.

26
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 2: We saw it in the Bucks series and they do

27
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 2: it again here in Game two. Tasks somehow like just

28
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 2: snatching this from the Caves to take the two o lead.

29
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:34,319
Speaker 1: The Pacers snatched it. But the Cavs blew this one. Yes, indeed,

30
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 1: twenty seven seconds left, they just had to inbound the

31
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:41,040
Speaker 1: ball under their own hoop, and they did, but Kenny

32
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 1: Atkinson said, now I need a timeout. He was so

33
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 1: desperate to get Donovan Mitchell back into the game, and

34
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 1: so their last timeout is gone and Caves have to

35
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 1: go the other way inbounded on the other side. They

36
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 1: flubbed that one, and then Tyrius Halburn is able to

37
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 1: go to the hoop, could have challenged. It's unlikely they

38
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 1: would have been able to get a turnover with that one,

39
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 1: but because they don't have a timeout, they couldn't. They

40
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 1: also could have used that timeout after Halliburton's big shot

41
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 1: so they could advance the ball and have a far

42
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,519
Speaker 1: better shot at the rim. So they really did flubb

43
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 1: this one. Obviously, Tyger's Haliburton shot is the story that

44
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 1: was freaking amazing. How he took his sweet time. It's

45
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:27,080
Speaker 1: like he took a deep breath to take every one

46
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:30,079
Speaker 1: of those seconds and be able to hit that shot.

47
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 1: But the Calves wasted Donovan Mitchell's forty eight point performance.

48
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:39,359
Speaker 1: Without their other two All stars and DeAndre Hunter, they

49
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 1: needed another ball handler and ty Jerome having his worst

50
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 1: game did not help, and that's why Kenny Atkinson was

51
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 1: so desperate to get Donovan Mitchell back into the game.

52
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 1: That being said, the Calves are gonna remember this one.

53
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 1: If they don't beat the Indiana Pacers, should have won

54
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 1: this thing.

55
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're down two zero going on the road. Not good,

56
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 3: but you're right, there's like three plays where if the

57
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 3: Cavs make one of them, they win this game. Complete

58
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 3: the get the ball in the first time with Strews,

59
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:07,519
Speaker 3: I mean, like, yeah, he wanted Mitchell in, but that

60
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 3: was getting close to a five second call. Would have

61
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 3: been the second. I think that's the second time they

62
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:12,640
Speaker 3: had to call a time off because they can't get

63
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:14,919
Speaker 3: the ball in bounds. Then just a brutal pass by

64
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,839
Speaker 3: Strews on the steel by Nie Smith and Jared Allen

65
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 3: grab a rebound, I think is really what it comes

66
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 3: down to. But the poise by Halliburton to stand in

67
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 3: the lane and realize I don't have to shoot it

68
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,800
Speaker 3: right away. There's ten seconds stuff, enough time to back out,

69
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,800
Speaker 3: get into my dribble package, get a shot up. There

70
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 3: is a seventy minute YouTube mix of clutch moments for

71
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 3: Tyrese Haliburton on the NBA's YouTube page right now. It's

72
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 3: his fifth season. This season alone, he's ten for eleven

73
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 3: on shots to tire or take the lead in the

74
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 3: last two minutes of the game.

75
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 2: Say it again, ten for eleven.

76
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 3: In the last two minutes to take the lead or

77
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 3: tie the game. I saw that is straight up money.

78
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 3: Awesome stuff from him. For eleven points in the fourth quarter,

79
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 3: five rebounds including that one uh that he rebounded his

80
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 3: own miss, one assist, one block which was a nice

81
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 3: play as well. But the Pacers aren't able to pull

82
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 3: this off a second down by seven with less than

83
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 3: a minute comeback if not for Aaron Nesmith and Andrew Demhard.

84
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:18,159
Speaker 3: These guys locked in in the fourth quarter. Nie Smith

85
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 3: was like, right at the line of is this too physical.

86
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 2: He was all over Donovan Mitchell. He collided with Donovan

87
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 2: Mitchell in this game. He me that from the top

88
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:31,239
Speaker 2: of the head to the feet. Yeah, there was one where.

89
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 3: You like it was almost Mitchell was surfing on the

90
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:36,280
Speaker 3: back of Nie Smith. But they made so many winning plays,

91
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 3: kind of starting with the corner three pointer from Nie

92
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 3: Smith right at the end of the third quarter. He

93
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,479
Speaker 3: also had to put back with six twenty left. Nemhard

94
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 3: had an and one four and a half minutes left.

95
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 3: Of course, Neismuth had that huge tip dunk and one.

96
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 3: Donovan Mitchell fell asleep a little bit forty eight seconds left.

97
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,839
Speaker 3: Then Nie Smith takes a charge to the face yep

98
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 3: from Mitchell forty six seconds left. Nem Hard with the

99
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 3: steel twenty eight seconds left. These guys just make play

100
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 3: after play after play. Didn't shoot the ball well, Nemhar didn't,

101
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:07,279
Speaker 3: but came through when it mattered. And Ni Smith just

102
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 3: made so many big plays. Mathern was good. Miles Turner,

103
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:11,920
Speaker 3: he ain't a big rebounder, but he got a little

104
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 3: fingertip on it to knock it out to Halliburn. They

105
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 3: got enough plays from enough guys to pull it out

106
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:18,599
Speaker 3: at the end. You do not want to be up

107
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:20,479
Speaker 3: on the Pacers in the last minute of the game.

108
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 2: It's true, you'd rather be behind. I yeah. Jared Allen

109
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 2: said it best after the game. The Pacers capitalized on

110
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:29,719
Speaker 2: every single mistake that we made, and you guys have

111
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 2: basically gone through all of them. I'm sure there's one

112
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 2: or two more sort of down the stretch of this

113
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 2: game that we could like lay the blame pie to

114
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 2: at the Cavs players or coaching staff, But the Pacers

115
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,840
Speaker 2: just always always capitalized. And usually it's just like an

116
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,360
Speaker 2: effort thing. I mean, you said it. The Calves couldn't

117
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,159
Speaker 2: even get the ball in because they just started like

118
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 2: full court pressuring them and they were panicking. Now, a

119
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 2: big part of that if you have Garland, I think

120
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 2: it's a little different. You got a quick blinkard to

121
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,480
Speaker 2: like obviously get open and maybe break a little press.

122
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 1: And Aaron Smith on Sam Merril's back also helps out.

123
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:01,839
Speaker 1: He did a very good job of getting extremely physical

124
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 1: and that's what the Calves are definitely upset about, especially

125
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:07,040
Speaker 1: after Game one when Evan Mobley and DeAndre Hunter get

126
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 1: hurt and they say you're too physical, and yes, it's

127
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:14,719
Speaker 1: probably going up against the line. I did find that

128
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,280
Speaker 1: the question of whether or not Donald Mitchell was flagrant

129
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:21,679
Speaker 1: and when he hit Aaron E. Smith in the face

130
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 1: questionable because you know, he's up in his shirt. He

131
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 1: literally can't turn up the court. But that's what he

132
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:30,040
Speaker 1: got down right after it.

133
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, worth a flagrant but offensive album, which was huge,

134
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 2: of course.

135
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:37,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just tough to move when Aaron E. Smith

136
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 1: designed you. So he is pushing it. He's asking the

137
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:42,840
Speaker 1: referees call me. He's doing that, and so yes, they

138
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:46,159
Speaker 1: pushed it right there. Again, if the Calves have one

139
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:49,159
Speaker 1: of their all stars, yeah we're talking about a different game,

140
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 1: they win this thing. And if Ty Jerome doesn't have

141
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 1: his worst game entering the starting lineup going one to fourteen,

142
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 1: he just wasn't right. They needed a ball handler. They're

143
00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 1: so desperate. They kept on giving it to Max Struz

144
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 1: to bring it up the floor. They were just looking

145
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 1: for somebody to bring up the floor. If they didn't

146
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 1: trade DeAndre Hunter for two guys, then they have more

147
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 1: death with Kniang there and carousela Vert there. So there's

148
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 1: a lot of things on both sides.

149
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 2: No, I mean a backbreaking loss for so many reasons

150
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 2: because he had that lead late. You had two twenty

151
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 2: point leads at different times of this game. But then, yeah,

152
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 2: you said it, Donovan Mitchell had forty eight points. Like

153
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 2: he did, try and carry this team across the finish

154
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 2: line to tie the series. Thirty shot attempts once again,

155
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 2: fifteen to thirty. That's pretty damn good. And living at

156
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 2: the free throw line seventeen of twenty one. I guess

157
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 2: he was ultimately there a little bit of everything else

158
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 2: like Trey. I mean, he just attacked and attacked and

159
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 2: attacked and attacked. A lot of these were deserving of

160
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 2: foul calls. I mean, he was just barreling into guys,

161
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 2: but at least putting pressure on them. And then in

162
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 2: the end, did he just run out of gas hence

163
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 2: like getting them in and out and all this like

164
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 2: get him a quick blow. But then you look at

165
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 2: total minutes, it like doesn't blow you away with how

166
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 2: many minutes he played in this game, but he just

167
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 2: had to. Like his usage percentage was something like forty

168
00:07:58,040 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 2: eight percent in this game.

169
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 3: He did everything. Wade was dripping off Donovan Mitchell last night.

170
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 3: You could tell starting in the first quarter he took

171
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 3: ten shots, took a three on the Cavs second possession

172
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 3: of the game. All of his old looks in the

173
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 3: first quarter were from within seven feet. Also took five

174
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 3: free throws, kind of setting the tone, I'm going to

175
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 3: the rim, try and stop me. The jumper has not

176
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 3: been there for Donovan Mitchell in this series. He kind

177
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 3: of got cold at the end of the regular season

178
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 3: coming back from injury as well. But he said, I'm

179
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 3: just gonna try and win this game for us, and

180
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 3: he won it for him the first forty seven minutes.

181
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:32,439
Speaker 3: It just honestly felt like we are not losing this game.

182
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 3: Get on my back kind of game from Donovan Mitchell.

183
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:37,840
Speaker 3: He had an awesome dunk in the first quarter and

184
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 3: then he had a better dunk in the first quarter

185
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 3: that was really cool to see. But when it came

186
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 3: down to it, he was carrying such a huge load.

187
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:47,319
Speaker 3: Coupled with the fact that the Cavs are playing two

188
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 3: guys that the Pacers were not worried about in Dean

189
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 3: Wade and Isaac koro Ty Jerome, you're giving this guy

190
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 3: a little bit too much credit here that he was

191
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 3: a leading six Man of the Year candidate. He's supposed

192
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 3: to be going eight for twenty bad game. In game one,

193
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:04,959
Speaker 3: you would die for eight for twenty after a lot

194
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 3: of nights one for fourteen. There were teams think about

195
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 3: ty Jerome. It's a starting point guard. People are saying,

196
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:11,560
Speaker 3: Orlando Magic, go after this guy. If you watch these

197
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 3: two games, you want to spend a lot of money

198
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 3: on a guy who scored twenty three points on thirty

199
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 3: four shots. I don't think so.

200
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 2: I kept thinking about with Sonic the Hedgehog, when he

201
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 2: runs into something and the coins go splashing everywhere. I

202
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 2: was like, Oh, that's a little tied Jerome right now. Yeah,

203
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 2: money going splashing everywhere.

204
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 1: He had.

205
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 3: No clue. Every shot looked awkward and he should have

206
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:32,840
Speaker 3: been able to handle the ball in the fourth quarter,

207
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,960
Speaker 3: he wasn't, and he looked he completely looked scared. And honestly,

208
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:38,559
Speaker 3: that last rebound by Jared Allen that flashed me back

209
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 3: to the Nick series when he said the lights were

210
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 3: too bright. He got exposed that series, and something similar

211
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:46,080
Speaker 3: happened on that last play. But Mitchell was awesome. It

212
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:47,960
Speaker 3: looked like he was going to drag this team to

213
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 3: a win, missing three of their top seven, and then

214
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 3: they couldn't get the ball pass half court for the

215
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 3: last minute of the game.

216
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:59,200
Speaker 2: When Max Struce threw down that transition dunk like took

217
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,319
Speaker 2: off from like out side the paint that put the

218
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 2: lead back to twenty in the third quarter, I thought, okay,

219
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 2: it's a rap. Wow, Mitchell has done it, along with

220
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 2: Sam Merril splashing the threes early offense, going through Jared

221
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 2: Allen a little bit. Early. Pacers sloppy as hell in

222
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 2: the first quarter. But this team, like they just like

223
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 2: slowly clawback task. I'm talking about the Pacers. We've seen

224
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 2: it time and time again. Now it's not like it's

225
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:22,440
Speaker 2: not like in an instant you know, it's not a

226
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 2: cavalanche or it's not a Curry flurry. They do it

227
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 2: in a different way where it's like we got enough time. Still,

228
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:31,199
Speaker 2: we obviously got Halliburton and we're gonna see the big

229
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 2: ball dance in his celebrations. But like they just like

230
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:36,560
Speaker 2: claw and claw and claw till suddenly it's a one

231
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:37,199
Speaker 2: possession game.

232
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, it looked like it was done. It's it's about

233
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 1: the Cavs and the Cavs knots and Max Stress. Max

234
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 1: Stress was causing the stress in this one to Indiana,

235
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 1: and it looked like it was over, especially with ty

236
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 1: wrist and his hand causing a burden, but then the

237
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 1: stress was caused the other direction. I mean, Max Strews

238
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:58,959
Speaker 1: was fricking awesome. He was really really good for Cleveland.

239
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 1: They were just so desperate for somebody to handle the ball.

240
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 1: And yes, Ty Jerome in his first start, big, super

241
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 1: big game, obviously started game one. Yes he started a

242
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 1: game one, but in any game where he needed to

243
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 1: beat something, something more just handling the ball because they

244
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:21,199
Speaker 1: didn't have anybody. They tried Isaac Carro, they tried, and

245
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 1: they tried Dronte Green out there, who was just standing

246
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:26,320
Speaker 1: in the corners for ten minutes. But they had nobody

247
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 1: to handle the ball. They really did not Shoots was

248
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 1: awesome and I thought he was playing out of his head.

249
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 1: I mean this was Miami Heat Final. Smacked Strews like

250
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 1: he was really really, really good, but they just needed somebody.

251
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:39,680
Speaker 1: And Dono Mitchell has shown in these big games he

252
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 1: comes out and he performs. He puts the team on

253
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:44,559
Speaker 1: his back. And he tried last year against bost Celflis

254
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 1: in round two, but couldn't get there in round two

255
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 1: because they didn't have the same team. So this is

256
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:53,679
Speaker 1: the one where it's going to be painful if Garland

257
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:55,680
Speaker 1: and Mobly don't come back and they get some freaking wins.

258
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:58,680
Speaker 1: Four out of five wins against the Spacers. Team now looks.

259
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 2: Very very Yeah, whether Garland, Mobley Hunter are playing or not,

260
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 2: it's like, obviously they've got all the confidence in the

261
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 2: world now and again they just like, we can get

262
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 2: back into games, and we have we believe the best

263
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 2: closer at least this season right now in Tyrese Halibert.

264
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 2: This guy continues to make cake trucks and this other

265
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 2: thing I kept thinking in this game, and we've seen

266
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 2: it a couple times now here in the playoffs and

267
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 2: even in regular season games that we've talked about. These

268
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 2: teams get like this lead, call it five to nine points, right,

269
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 2: and time is getting down in a couple of minutes,

270
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 2: and they get so the defense with the lead get

271
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 2: so caught up in take away threes, take away threes,

272
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 2: take away threes, that they just give up layups. They

273
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 2: just give up layups. How many times it happened in

274
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 2: this game, It's happened in so many games where it's like,

275
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 2: I get it, you don't want to give up the

276
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 2: three instead of the two. But you are just giving

277
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 2: up a quick two. And these are NBA pro players

278
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 2: that are gonna go like ninety nine point nine percent

279
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 2: at the rim. So it's like a weird I don't

280
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:58,840
Speaker 2: know what the answer is to it, but like maybe

281
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 2: trying to take it away a little bit. I something

282
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 2: about that, Like you just see it so many times now.

283
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:05,840
Speaker 3: I mean I think the answer is make your free

284
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 3: throws and pass the ball to your own team.

285
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I get it. Yeah, you get it, because obviously

286
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 2: possession matters, and they were giving it away. Yes, I

287
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 2: hate these layup lines that these teams just start giving

288
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 2: up when they like they do get a little bit

289
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 2: like well we're up seven, okay, okay, we shall be

290
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:24,560
Speaker 2: good here. And that's backfired a couple times now.

291
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 1: It has. Yeah, the Pacers are relentless. There is no doubt.

292
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:30,840
Speaker 1: The Cavs just can't get their guys on the floor.

293
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:32,440
Speaker 1: We'll see if they get him on the floor in

294
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:35,200
Speaker 1: Game three, because they're going to be confident despite this,

295
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 1: despite Donovan Mitchell maybe not being physically right. I mean

296
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 1: he was banged up. I mean he was limping around

297
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:41,200
Speaker 1: out there.

298
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, they say he's got a calf strain, right, and

299
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 3: he just carried the team for forty seven minutes.

300
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:51,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, and he was also even trying to be polite

301
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 2: at one point in the game. What do you think

302
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:56,959
Speaker 2: of Mitchell trying to quiet the Cavalier's crowd with their

303
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:01,720
Speaker 2: overrated chance with help He was legit like, no, no, no, no,

304
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 2: he's I guess he believes he has not overrated and

305
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:05,200
Speaker 2: he's end up being right.

306
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 3: There's a lot of integrity from the Cleveland Cavaliers because

307
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 3: also Jared Allen blocked a shot. The ball went out

308
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:12,720
Speaker 3: on him the back of it like his heel, bounce

309
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 3: off his heel. You could see him look over to

310
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 3: the bench's like no, no, no, no, no, don't challenge that one

311
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 3: was off my heel. They were asking show me not

312
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 3: They're gonna tell the truth. No matter what, don't do it.

313
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 3: So I'd like to hear the truth about Darius Garland's foot.

314
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 3: Sure you gotta play through pain now. They say it's

315
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 3: all a pain tolerance thing. He hasn't played and how long,

316
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 3: I mean, when was the last time he played Game

317
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 3: two of the Miami Heat series. That was a month ago.

318
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 3: You better play in game three, is what I'm saying, yeah.

319
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 1: Last year they went through a pain tolerance thing with

320
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 1: Jared Allen as well. Obviously he did not play, So hopefully,

321
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 1: yeah Carlin comes back, because it feels like this Pacers team,

322
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 1: they canna be down ten, down twelve doesn't matter because

323
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 1: Tyres Halbert was having a quiet game until the fourth,

324
00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 1: and especially until late in the fourth. I mean he

325
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 1: had five makes in the last three plus minutes of

326
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 1: the game. For the last three minutes and three seconds

327
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:07,840
Speaker 1: he had five makes. Before that, he had six, So

328
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 1: it was quiet until back he just ripped it off.

329
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 2: But that's the best part about this team, the Pacers.

330
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 2: It's like they get down big. It doesn't need to

331
00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 2: be like Haliburton save us. It's like not that, because

332
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 2: in this one it's like Nie Smith threes. Mathren took

333
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 2: over the game at one point to just keep Indiana

334
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 2: in it.

335
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 1: That was it.

336
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 2: He had a stretch where he's like attacking, scoring inside,

337
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 2: getting to the free throw line a little bit, and

338
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 2: it just kept them alive. Turner did have a really

339
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 2: good start to the game as well, and it's just

340
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 2: like everybody contributing to like hand it off to your closer,

341
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 2: throw it over to who's the greatest baseball closer in history?

342
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 2: Who do you say? Eck? Yeah, okay, sure, I was

343
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 2: gonna go Tom Hanky. So that's why I asked Baseball Reference,

344
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 2: Blue Jays Reference. But they just handed over to Halliburton

345
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 2: at the end, like hey, we got you here, man,

346
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 2: now close the door. And he's done it so many

347
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 2: times now that he is he is Trey. He called

348
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 2: it last week or whatever was like the guy's Reggie

349
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 2: Miller two point oh. Now time he is because he

350
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 2: just keeps coming through instead. I just wish he sort

351
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 2: of did the choke job last night.

352
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 3: That was a choke.

353
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:10,680
Speaker 2: It was a choke and the stud he went with

354
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 2: the Sam Cassell Big Balls dance, which he said he

355
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 2: was thinking about he was waiting to pull it out.

356
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:16,239
Speaker 2: I felt like the right moment.

357
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:19,040
Speaker 3: That sucks if you're a Cavs fan. Yeah, he probably

358
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 3: started thinking about it when he pulled the ball out

359
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 3: and saw Ti Jerome in front of him, Like if

360
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 3: if they were dangling for Tyres Halliburton, I think they

361
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 3: were going up and in for Ti Jerome on that play.

362
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, want to play and everything to happen to get

363
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 2: us to that point. Amazing amazing games and like at

364
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 2: that point it was the third straight consecutive like insane playoff,

365
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 2: Like we are just on one here and the road

366
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 2: teams generally coming through. Is that that's six straight road winds.

367
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 2: I know we'll get to the Warriors beating the Wolves

368
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 2: because you got to go back to the Warriors beat

369
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 2: the Rockets and what was one before that? Uh not

370
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 2: the Clippers not Oh no, there was one more in there.

371
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 2: But anyway, we're at sixth straight. I want to run

372
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 2: here for the road teams. Anything else from this game.

373
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:09,720
Speaker 3: My friends and I were calling Max Strus the Winter

374
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 3: Soldier for most of this game. He does definitely has

375
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 3: a Sebastian stand Bucky Barnes. Look, he's got an arm

376
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 3: sleeve as well. If it was metal, it'd really sell it.

377
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:20,879
Speaker 3: I also thought the sound mix on this game was

378
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:23,879
Speaker 3: absolutely brutal. Yeah, it was tough to listen to. It

379
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:26,480
Speaker 3: sounded like Spiro and Greg were zooming in and for

380
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:30,200
Speaker 3: whatever reason, the shoe squeaking was echoing the entire night.

381
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 3: I changed channels. I switched over to an NHL game

382
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:35,640
Speaker 3: to be like, is this my TV doing it? Then

383
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 3: when I rewatched this morning, still squeaking. So I don't

384
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 3: know what's going on in Cleveland, maybe where the mics

385
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 3: are compared to how loud they're playing the in arena noises,

386
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:46,399
Speaker 3: it was sounding crazy. Every shoe squeak was bitt it

387
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:48,639
Speaker 3: bitt I didn't like that.

388
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:51,359
Speaker 2: Well, was it more annoying to listen to that game

389
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:54,119
Speaker 2: or a No Dunks podcast? After a long weekend and.

390
00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 3: We were getting great reviews, people are saying, you guys

391
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 3: sound great. Actually think I sound better today. I would

392
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 3: like to stay right here, right here. This is the

393
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 3: perfect voice line exactly. I get a little task in

394
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 3: my voice. But when I'm fully healthy, you know how it.

395
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:13,120
Speaker 2: Is, you and Big Squeak, he's the only base.

396
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:15,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like a soup. You know, first day it's fine.

397
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 1: Then the second day that's when it level. I would say.

398
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:21,639
Speaker 1: The thing that did sound good on the mix was

399
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:25,200
Speaker 1: Bone Thugs. Yeah yeah, Bone Thugs.

400
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:27,119
Speaker 2: A commercial breaker early on that one was good. That's

401
00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:30,159
Speaker 2: when the calves were feeling good. Thirty fifteen. I like that.

402
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:33,359
Speaker 2: Rick Carlisle talking to Jared Greenberg in between obviously the

403
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 2: first and second quarner when they're down, Big Carlisle said, quote,

404
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:39,960
Speaker 2: this is the power of hard play. That sounds like

405
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:43,399
Speaker 2: cool lyrics. This is the power of hard play pointing

406
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:46,400
Speaker 2: out how great the Calves were and how sloppy Indiana

407
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:49,359
Speaker 2: was because nem Hard was fumbling the ball out of bounds. Turner,

408
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:51,720
Speaker 2: excuse me, Siakam had one under his trim. We didn't

409
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:53,879
Speaker 2: even mention his name. I know he had some timely

410
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:55,640
Speaker 2: bucketsham but quiet game.

411
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:56,400
Speaker 3: Not a huge game.

412
00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:58,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, they had a couple of traveling violations early in

413
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:02,359
Speaker 2: this game. It was hard McConnell Miles. Turner tried to

414
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:04,960
Speaker 2: throw a lob pass that even Obi Toppin couldn't go

415
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:08,160
Speaker 2: get like, it was way too high. Toppin couldn't throw

416
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:11,399
Speaker 2: a post pass like. It was bad first quarter from Indiana.

417
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 2: That's why they were down huge, but they got to going.

418
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:16,360
Speaker 3: I mean, it was a bad first three quarters for Indiana.

419
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:18,119
Speaker 3: They weren't playing their game at all. It was a

420
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 3: complete flip from their first series against the Bucks, and

421
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:22,880
Speaker 3: a complete flip from Game one where they just had

422
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 3: so much freedom. I thought strus and credit to Okoro.

423
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,439
Speaker 3: I call him Isaac Noscorro because it goes both ways.

424
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,080
Speaker 3: He can't score, but neither was the guy. He's guarding.

425
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 3: They were picking Haliburton up full court, which was really

426
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,440
Speaker 3: hampering the Pacers getting into their actions. They're a team

427
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 3: that gets shots up like in the first ten seconds

428
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 3: almost all the time. It was just a lot tougher

429
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:43,040
Speaker 3: for them to get into their beautiful game with cuts

430
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:45,120
Speaker 3: and all this kind of stuff. They definitely got unlocked.

431
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:47,080
Speaker 3: I thought in the third quarter. A big part of

432
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 3: that was Mathurn. Like Mathern's cutting I thought was huge

433
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 3: in this game. But uh yeah, good, good adjustment I

434
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:55,880
Speaker 3: thought from Kenny Atkinson to have like struce all over

435
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:58,720
Speaker 3: Halliburton from the jump. I mean, I guess he got

436
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 3: a basket really easy on the very like off the

437
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:03,199
Speaker 3: tip in or off the tip, but Screws was all

438
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:05,159
Speaker 3: over him. A Cora was all over him. So that's

439
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:06,919
Speaker 3: something the Pacers are gonna have to deal with in

440
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:07,360
Speaker 3: Game three.

441
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:10,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, Cleveland was beating him to their spots every single time.

442
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:12,960
Speaker 1: So the movement was just wasn't there, And it was

443
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:15,920
Speaker 1: a nice little change up. Ty Jerome did go into

444
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 1: the starting line for Sam Maryl because Sam Merril was

445
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 1: he wasn't he wasn't the guy that they needed. But

446
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 1: Tied Jerome obviously didn't help him.

447
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 2: All right? Any other notes, random notes, nothing else. I

448
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 2: mean you already mentioned Nie Smith jumping over Mitchell. You

449
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 2: don't see that very off the NBA game. And my

450
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 2: only other note because it gives me the shivers. There's

451
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:42,119
Speaker 2: a quick shot at Donovan Mitchell chewing on a towel early.

452
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 4: Now.

453
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 2: I don't think he's I don't think he's a guy

454
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:47,320
Speaker 2: that chews on a towel, but he put it in

455
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 2: his mouth. Gives me the creepy b gps right now,

456
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:52,320
Speaker 2: because he was putting on his warm up, so I

457
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 2: think he wanted to keep it there around his neck,

458
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:57,200
Speaker 2: so he put it in his mouth. But there's nothing

459
00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:01,000
Speaker 2: that makes my skin skin crawl more than that. I've

460
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:02,760
Speaker 2: said this before. I can't stand it.

461
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 1: That is a weird thing.

462
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 2: I hate it, dude, I hate it. Jerry Tarkanian was

463
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:09,160
Speaker 2: my least favorite coache. I hate that guy.

464
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 1: I hate all right.

465
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 2: Well, let's move on to the other game from last night.

466
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:18,920
Speaker 2: Not as sexy, but the Warriors take Game one from

467
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:24,080
Speaker 2: the Wolves ninety nine eighty eight despite Steph Curry's hamstring injury.

468
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:27,720
Speaker 2: This one started hilariously. I guess it started hilariously and

469
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 2: ended hilariously if you count the postgame press conference, because

470
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:35,719
Speaker 2: Buddy Healed starts the game wearing the wrong shorts. In

471
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:39,040
Speaker 2: his defense, they look pretty damn similar to the correct shorts.

472
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:41,120
Speaker 2: I guess he had on the black and blue pair

473
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:43,320
Speaker 2: of shorts instead of the black and yellow sort of

474
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:46,200
Speaker 2: pinstripe pair of shorts are like striped at the bottom.

475
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:48,959
Speaker 3: Yeah, this game started on NBA TV right because it

476
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 3: was the overlap with the Pacers game, so they told

477
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 3: us about it before they showed it, and I was

478
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:57,200
Speaker 3: expecting way weirder shorts. Yeah, Buddy Heel to be honest,

479
00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:59,200
Speaker 3: I was like, okay, these are pretty similar.

480
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:01,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is like a who cares, Like obviously the

481
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:05,600
Speaker 2: Timberwolves bench they notice it, but he's laughing. He's got

482
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:08,120
Speaker 2: to run back. They got to use delay a game.

483
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:09,440
Speaker 2: I guess I had to use the time out because

484
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:09,840
Speaker 2: of all that.

485
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 1: But conspiracy theory, as Brian Anderson said on the broadcast,

486
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 1: are they saying he's got the wrong shorts just so

487
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 1: we can watch the Indiana Pacers ending which was spectacular?

488
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:23,960
Speaker 1: Just just a quick conspiracy theory. Yeah, I didn't notice

489
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:25,880
Speaker 1: the shorts, I mean nobody would.

490
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:29,200
Speaker 2: So that started the game, and then after the game

491
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:32,480
Speaker 2: it was the Buddy Heel and Jimmy Butler Comedy Hour

492
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 2: in their postgame press corounds. These guys were hilarious. They're

493
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:37,879
Speaker 2: a perfect Yeah, give him a podcast right now. But

494
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:39,720
Speaker 2: a lot happened in the game task and I mean

495
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 2: Steph Curry limping off the court in the second quarter

496
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:45,400
Speaker 2: with the hamstring injury that we're gonna wait on MRI

497
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 2: results for it doesn't. He's not gonna play in the

498
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 2: next game. We don't know why.

499
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 1: It'll probably return, not after you win game one. Probably not.

500
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 2: Probably not, you know, because he's suddenly pulling back at

501
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:57,640
Speaker 2: he tries to sort of power through it, even take

502
00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:00,840
Speaker 2: makes a shot and comes back still holding on it,

503
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:02,399
Speaker 2: still holding on it. Suddenly they had to sell them

504
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:03,280
Speaker 2: out and he never returned.

505
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:05,960
Speaker 1: Yeah. The wild part is Steph Leaves and the Wolves

506
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:09,159
Speaker 1: can't take advantage because they held the Warriors to eighteen

507
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:11,440
Speaker 1: points in the first quarter, but they were not big

508
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 1: because they only scored twenty and then it got worse

509
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:16,439
Speaker 1: than the second quarter, scoring only eleven points. Just weird

510
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:21,159
Speaker 1: seeing Anthony Edwards miss gimmes. I mean, yes, he missed

511
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 1: his first ten shots, but six were at the fricking rim.

512
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 1: You can add another one in because when he got

513
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:29,320
Speaker 1: fouled at the end of the second quarter, he flubbed

514
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,359
Speaker 1: a bunny that he missed, which doesn't go in the

515
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:34,399
Speaker 1: field goals. But as he went to the line, he

516
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 1: hit one free throw. The entire arena erupted because he

517
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:42,120
Speaker 1: scored a point. This is Anthony Edwards. This is so strange. Now,

518
00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:45,240
Speaker 1: he had a way better second half, but this was

519
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 1: his worst playoff performance that he went so quiet. Why

520
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:52,720
Speaker 1: did it happen? Did it happen because he was anointed

521
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:56,280
Speaker 1: as the next guy these few days in between these series.

522
00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:59,560
Speaker 1: He was annointed this incredible player. He beat lebron and

523
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:02,399
Speaker 1: he's beat all Or was it that the Wolves for

524
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:05,480
Speaker 1: the first time in his career were clearly the favorite

525
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:08,400
Speaker 1: in this series, because that hasn't happened now Last year

526
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 1: against the Phoenix Sounds in the first series, they were

527
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:15,439
Speaker 1: technically the favorite, but they weren't this and Anthony Edwards

528
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:17,120
Speaker 1: was not this. He just did not look right. Now,

529
00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 1: he's rebounding, he's defending, but it was just so hot.

530
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:23,040
Speaker 1: It was so hot, and he didn't demand the ball

531
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:25,600
Speaker 1: at the end of the first half, where you know

532
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 1: it's your time, man. So that part was weird where

533
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:31,960
Speaker 1: you see Steph go off and the team can score.

534
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:34,240
Speaker 1: I mean, who was great on their team? It was

535
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:36,639
Speaker 1: not Rid out of the game, but you know he

536
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:38,520
Speaker 1: can see some box scores. But these guys were just

537
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:43,159
Speaker 1: so quiet. Everybody everybody ice cold from three point line.

538
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:46,560
Speaker 2: Wolves coach Chris Finch he called out after the game

539
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:48,480
Speaker 2: the first lack of energy. He said, quote, you're the

540
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:49,920
Speaker 2: leader of the team, and you got to come out

541
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:51,800
Speaker 2: and set the tone. If your SHOT's not going, you

542
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:53,760
Speaker 2: still have to carry the energy. If I have to

543
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:55,920
Speaker 2: talk to guys about having the right energy coming into

544
00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:57,879
Speaker 2: an opening second round game, then we're not on the

545
00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:00,960
Speaker 2: same page. End quote. But specifically calling out Ant on

546
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:02,439
Speaker 2: that one, like, hey, man, I don't care if you

547
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 2: can't hit a three or you're not scoring inside right now,

548
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:07,679
Speaker 2: you gotta still bring that energy in it. We follow

549
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:09,600
Speaker 2: you as the leader. He didn't think he did that

550
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:10,760
Speaker 2: in game one.

551
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:12,960
Speaker 3: One hundred percent. It was worthy of Chris Finch calling

552
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:14,960
Speaker 3: him out. It was camp edwards in the first half.

553
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:16,720
Speaker 3: I think part of it is the Warriors are a

554
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:19,960
Speaker 3: lot better defensively than the Lakers are. Their schemes were

555
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:22,040
Speaker 3: more interesting. They went with a zone. It looked like

556
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 3: they saw what Houston was doing against the Warriors. They're like, hey,

557
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:28,200
Speaker 3: we should try that, and it completely threw the timber

558
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:31,160
Speaker 3: Wolves off. Edwards also rolled his ankle six minutes into

559
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:34,680
Speaker 3: the first quarter. He didn't miss literally a single play

560
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:36,680
Speaker 3: because of it, but you could tell it was a

561
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 3: little bit tender. I thought he was trying to adjust

562
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:41,639
Speaker 3: to the reads. We talked about how great his playmaking

563
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:43,760
Speaker 3: was in Round one against the Lakers. Would you say

564
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:46,439
Speaker 3: thirty five assists to six turnovers. He had two assists

565
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:49,639
Speaker 3: to three turnovers last night. The automatic reads are not there.

566
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 3: But then in the second half, he started going to

567
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 3: the rim all the time, twenty two points, nine to

568
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:56,440
Speaker 3: fourteen field goals, didn't have an assist. He's this is

569
00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:58,399
Speaker 3: going to be a series where Anthony Edwards needs to

570
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:00,240
Speaker 3: be a scorer. I thought he was looking to pass

571
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:02,240
Speaker 3: maybe a little bit too much in the first half,

572
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:05,760
Speaker 3: which is how they played in the first series against

573
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:07,679
Speaker 3: the Lakers. But what it comes down to is that

574
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:09,040
Speaker 3: three point shooting is the whole game.

575
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:09,280
Speaker 2: Here.

576
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:12,360
Speaker 3: Minnesota went five for twenty nine. Buddy Healed himself went

577
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 3: five for eight. Draymond Green went four of six in

578
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:17,720
Speaker 3: the first half, missed all four of his attempts in

579
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:19,840
Speaker 3: the second half. But still, if you're getting nine threes

580
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:22,080
Speaker 3: from Buddy and Draymond and you make five right there,

581
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:23,879
Speaker 3: you're not going to win. It's that simple. You have

582
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:26,919
Speaker 3: to make shots. And I think if you are a

583
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:30,000
Speaker 3: Timberwolves fan, you got to be a little bit encouraged

584
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:32,440
Speaker 3: going forward. A Curry is up, that's going to be healthy,

585
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 3: least for a game. Yeah, at least for a game.

586
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:38,040
Speaker 3: Jeff Stotts in Street Close said, the minimum time the

587
00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:40,639
Speaker 3: guys miss with a Grade one strain, so like the

588
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:43,760
Speaker 3: mildest strain is ten days. So we'll see when Curry

589
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:44,160
Speaker 3: comes back.

590
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:47,240
Speaker 2: Right now, the schedule is basically every second night right

591
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 2: until maybe five or six or something like that.

592
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 1: Six yeah, yeah, yeah.

593
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:54,919
Speaker 3: But the Warriors made They were what sixteen for forty

594
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:58,840
Speaker 3: five from two point range. They couldn't score inside. The

595
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:00,720
Speaker 3: Warriors could in and now they're gonna be missing Curry,

596
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:02,960
Speaker 3: so they'll have even less space. This was an awesome

597
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:05,359
Speaker 3: game for Jimmy Butler. He literally went out and beat

598
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:08,960
Speaker 3: the Timberwolf starters with the Warriors bench. We come on

599
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:11,680
Speaker 3: that was awesome. Like, he didn't have the biggest stats,

600
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 3: but he filled up the box score. His playmaking was big.

601
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:17,399
Speaker 3: Found Buddy Heeld for a corner three, found Gary Payton

602
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:20,520
Speaker 3: for a corner three as well. The Warriors role players

603
00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:22,760
Speaker 3: played a lot better than the Timberwolves role players.

604
00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:26,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, strengthen numbers for the Warriors back in those old days.

605
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:29,400
Speaker 2: Kirk played well. Kirk played twelve players. He actually tried

606
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:33,119
Speaker 2: to play thirteen because Braxton Key did check in for

607
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:35,840
Speaker 2: a brief moment, but it was during that sort of

608
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 2: like confusion about like who was taking the foul shot

609
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 2: and who was subbing in and out, so Braxton Key

610
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:44,480
Speaker 2: came right back off. Never logged a single second of

611
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:46,680
Speaker 2: game one, but he was trying to play thirteen guys.

612
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:50,320
Speaker 2: But yeah, Pat Spencer was awesome, him and his mustache,

613
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:53,600
Speaker 2: rocket two steals, two shots, he hit, set a really

614
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 2: nice screen that even opened up Buddy Heeld for a

615
00:27:55,600 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 2: corner three. Kaminga, we saw some decent moments here from

616
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:02,800
Speaker 2: Kaminga in this game, at least his best moments from

617
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:05,600
Speaker 2: this playoffs. And just like Looney and all these guys

618
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:09,840
Speaker 2: are contributing tass, It's like I I it's almost like Kerr.

619
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:12,560
Speaker 2: I think you never want to see Curry go down ever.

620
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:15,360
Speaker 2: Of course he's a superstar, he's one of the graceful time.

621
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:17,720
Speaker 2: But I think a sicko like Steve Kerr does like

622
00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 2: the hey, guys, can we do this? Can we get

623
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:23,960
Speaker 2: crazy here? Everybody want to play? Yeah, let's do it.

624
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:26,480
Speaker 2: And everybody played their part. And then's just the defense

625
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:28,199
Speaker 2: helped out by the Wolves not being able to hit

626
00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:31,720
Speaker 2: to three. They missed their but for sixteen three pointers,

627
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:34,160
Speaker 2: they hit a three until the third quarter I think

628
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 2: like eight minutes too, so that helped. But can they

629
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:40,160
Speaker 2: do it three more times? I guess here with Curry

630
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 2: or not.

631
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 1: Yeah. The scary part was the Warriors walk into their

632
00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 1: building and just stole their energy immediately. They couldn't do it.

633
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:49,400
Speaker 1: You have to be able to beat the role players

634
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:51,040
Speaker 1: on the other team. You just have to be able

635
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 1: to do that. You're supposed to be the deeper team.

636
00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:52,800
Speaker 2: Now.

637
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:55,080
Speaker 1: Steve Kerr is part of the Greg Popovich tree. He

638
00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:57,880
Speaker 1: will always play all the guys throughout the regular season

639
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:01,239
Speaker 1: for this moment to be ready for these And it

640
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:04,360
Speaker 1: was great seeing Pat Spencer hook a ball off the

641
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:08,000
Speaker 1: glass for all the guys that got no stop in

642
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:11,600
Speaker 1: pop game respect to Pat Spencer. I mean, where did

643
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:14,720
Speaker 1: that come from? I thought the moment that really sealed

644
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:16,480
Speaker 1: it for me. It was a thirteen point deficit in

645
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:20,080
Speaker 1: the third quarter and Jimmy Butler chucked a prayer from

646
00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:20,720
Speaker 1: three point.

647
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:22,440
Speaker 2: Lands so you couldn't fall, Yeah, and it.

648
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:27,000
Speaker 1: Goes glassing in and that's it. Prayer answered. And the

649
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:29,680
Speaker 1: Wolves could prairie all they want, but they just weren't

650
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:33,640
Speaker 1: doing enough. I know it's stupid to say that, but

651
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:35,760
Speaker 1: really they didn't have the energy. I mean, it really

652
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:38,640
Speaker 1: sucked the energy out of that arena. And the three

653
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:42,520
Speaker 1: is obviously clanging all night long, so much so bad.

654
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:44,560
Speaker 2: That is back to back games for the Wolves now

655
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 2: where they could not hit a three, yeah, to save

656
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:48,640
Speaker 2: their life. Now they won Game five against the Lakers.

657
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:51,960
Speaker 2: What did they go seven for forty seven? What was it?

658
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 2: Something like that? Like the brutal and this one was

659
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 2: somehow even worse and didn't take as many as well,

660
00:29:57,000 --> 00:30:00,960
Speaker 2: but only hitting five of twenty nine. And Finch also

661
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:04,280
Speaker 2: pointing out, like our transition decisions were he used the

662
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:05,520
Speaker 2: word diabolical.

663
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 3: Couldn't believe it.

664
00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:10,520
Speaker 2: I mean, so just like what like we're just we're

665
00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:12,640
Speaker 2: playing like it's a regular season game, I think is

666
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:14,800
Speaker 2: what he was getting at here, Like, I yeah, especially

667
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 2: even when Corey goes out, we're gonna make our run.

668
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:18,960
Speaker 2: But we just had that air of us like it'll happen,

669
00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:20,960
Speaker 2: it'll happen. We can keep hitting, trying to fire away

670
00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:23,480
Speaker 2: from three. But now, yeah, obviously you're in the playoffs

671
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:26,320
Speaker 2: here against you know, a team with like legends on

672
00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 2: it here, and it's not gonna be ever easy. So

673
00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:30,640
Speaker 2: I like him calling out his team here, and I

674
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:33,160
Speaker 2: would expect them, obviously a bounce back performance in Game two.

675
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:36,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, you would have to hope that you're getting the

676
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:37,840
Speaker 3: edwards that we saw in the second half. I think

677
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:40,959
Speaker 3: Julius Randall and Jaden McDaniels need to be better. They

678
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:43,760
Speaker 3: scored thirty combined points on twenty three shots, and not bad,

679
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:45,200
Speaker 3: but a lot of that is Randall going to the

680
00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:47,280
Speaker 3: line a bunch. He went ten to ten at the line.

681
00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:49,520
Speaker 3: I just thought this was the Randall you don't like

682
00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:51,280
Speaker 3: to see. He was playing a lot of one on

683
00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:55,800
Speaker 3: one basketball, very stagnant and very jab steppie. He's at

684
00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 3: his best when it's quick attacks, which is what we

685
00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:00,440
Speaker 3: saw all Lakers series. McDaniels, for his part, it just

686
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:03,240
Speaker 3: felt like every basket of his was random, not attacking

687
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:06,200
Speaker 3: the way he usually does on closeouts or wide open shots.

688
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:07,840
Speaker 3: He was really having to work for it. So both

689
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 3: of those guys I think can be better, and they

690
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:12,960
Speaker 3: need to be because when the Warriors were playing zone

691
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:15,960
Speaker 3: they did not care at all about McDaniels or Randall.

692
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 3: They're saying, we're putting everybody on the side of Anthony

693
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:21,320
Speaker 3: Edwards try and figure out. He wasn't able to figure

694
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:23,200
Speaker 3: it out, so going to the zone was good. I

695
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:26,040
Speaker 3: assume the Timberwolves will be more ready for it in

696
00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 3: game two, but that means Randl's got to shoot, McDaniels

697
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:31,080
Speaker 3: got to shoot. Maybe they pull Gobert when they're in

698
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 3: zone mode and get nas read out there for some

699
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:38,040
Speaker 3: more stretchiness as well. But there are definitely places where

700
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 3: the Timberwolves can improve, and I think the Warriors can

701
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:43,560
Speaker 3: be a lot better as well. Draymond was awesome defensively.

702
00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:46,640
Speaker 3: He was everywhere last night because he gets to do

703
00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:47,080
Speaker 3: what he wants.

704
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:48,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, just like I get to stay in the back

705
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:50,720
Speaker 2: here and go all over the place and tell people

706
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:53,200
Speaker 2: where to go. And like I get to run the defense,

707
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:55,520
Speaker 2: excuse me like that, which is like, that's why that

708
00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:58,720
Speaker 2: zone was so impressive. If they continue to go zone,

709
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:00,680
Speaker 2: then it's obviously tough to get dre On into action

710
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:02,760
Speaker 2: if they're not in zone. I think you put Draymond

711
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:05,440
Speaker 2: into action, get him up to like be the defender

712
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:07,520
Speaker 2: in a pick and roll, because he's really good at

713
00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:09,600
Speaker 2: that too. Don't get me wrong, but like he is elite.

714
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:11,720
Speaker 2: He maybe's one of the best ever. Just be in

715
00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:14,680
Speaker 2: that back line right the rim, helping out like those

716
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:17,080
Speaker 2: ant takes. Some of them he should have hit like

717
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:18,760
Speaker 2: he and he will probably and he did even as

718
00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:20,040
Speaker 2: the game went on, But a lot of them were

719
00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:23,320
Speaker 2: Draymond like he's there, he's coming, he's making it difficult.

720
00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:26,160
Speaker 2: He's in his head a little bit. He's just so

721
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 2: good at it. So but I think I think Kurve

722
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:30,960
Speaker 2: will just continue to stick with obviously a decent amount

723
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:33,360
Speaker 2: of zone until the Wolves can prove it in threes,

724
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:35,080
Speaker 2: because they can't right now.

725
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:37,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, but when they can't hit three's liking Game five

726
00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:40,760
Speaker 1: against the Lakers, they got great performances out of their bicks.

727
00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:44,520
Speaker 1: They do have the size, they should get better performances

728
00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:47,880
Speaker 1: out of a Julius Randall who had twenty three in

729
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:51,000
Speaker 1: that game, and he was just more adamant. I mean

730
00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 1: the foul trouble. There was a little some early foul

731
00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:54,800
Speaker 1: trouble in this game, like maybe got into his set

732
00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 1: little because I didn't think he was incredible defensively and

733
00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:01,360
Speaker 1: Rudy Gobert, who had twenty seven in that game. They've

734
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:03,040
Speaker 1: got to be able to do it. So, yeah, Draymond

735
00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:05,600
Speaker 1: is incredible at helping and altering shots, But then you

736
00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:08,880
Speaker 1: got a better match up if Jimmy's taken Julius Randall.

737
00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:11,800
Speaker 1: I mean she should be bodying guys, but he was not.

738
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:13,719
Speaker 1: They got to use the bodies, they got to use

739
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:16,160
Speaker 1: the height, and they weren't there.

740
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:18,959
Speaker 2: Do you agree with Trey's like assessment though that like

741
00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:21,240
Speaker 2: the Wolves are like, okay, that was bad. We only

742
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:23,240
Speaker 2: scored eighty eight points and they didn't have career for

743
00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:25,240
Speaker 2: half the game, who, by the way, was looking pretty good,

744
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:27,440
Speaker 2: Like you can see like wow, Curry's like wow, this

745
00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:29,520
Speaker 2: is a lot easier to score on than the rockets were.

746
00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:30,560
Speaker 3: There's not somebody hugging me up.

747
00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:32,800
Speaker 2: Yeah exactly. I sort of like this, But do you

748
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:35,680
Speaker 2: think the Wolves are at least going okay, okay, we

749
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:37,960
Speaker 2: could this week. Is still obviously compete in the series

750
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:38,960
Speaker 2: and if not win the series.

751
00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:42,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think so. I mean, it is

752
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:44,640
Speaker 1: just one game, you know. They I think they are

753
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:48,120
Speaker 1: confident enough in their team getting to the conference finals.

754
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:50,920
Speaker 1: There's just a they know who they are. Yeah. So,

755
00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:54,600
Speaker 1: I that was just was I was not expecting. And

756
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:57,600
Speaker 1: I know all the broadcasters everybody's saying, oh, it's rest

757
00:33:57,640 --> 00:33:59,720
Speaker 1: versus Russ. These teams that took care of business have

758
00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:04,000
Speaker 1: five days off. That's hard to buy that. But I mean,

759
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:06,600
Speaker 1: I don't know. There's no reason I bring that up,

760
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:10,520
Speaker 1: because there is no reason to see them clanking and

761
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:13,960
Speaker 1: not have the energy and not have thrown frickin' alley oops.

762
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:16,319
Speaker 1: I mean, Rudy Gobert is by far the giant in

763
00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:19,560
Speaker 1: this series. He's, you know, five to six inches taller

764
00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:21,719
Speaker 1: than the next guy on the floor most of the time.

765
00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:25,880
Speaker 1: No disrespect to Quentin Post's height of seven feet. I

766
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:28,040
Speaker 1: think he is seven feet, but I mean he should

767
00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:29,920
Speaker 1: be able to throw dunks like Mike Conley. I don't know,

768
00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:31,879
Speaker 1: he threw him one with the right hand, and I'm

769
00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:34,000
Speaker 1: still puzzled as to whether or not that was a

770
00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:36,960
Speaker 1: shot or an assist attempt. I mean, that was a

771
00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:39,960
Speaker 1: weird one. He should Gobert should be able to hammer,

772
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:42,120
Speaker 1: and so should Randle and I was Red came off

773
00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:45,440
Speaker 1: the bench and it was good. But that was the

774
00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:46,719
Speaker 1: only guy who really showed energy.

775
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:48,719
Speaker 2: I thought, yeah, and we sort of glossed over it.

776
00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:50,959
Speaker 2: But Draymond Green hitting four threes in the first half,

777
00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:53,319
Speaker 2: I think he scored on Gobert right away to sort

778
00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:55,719
Speaker 2: of start this game a little wild, a little hook shot,

779
00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:58,280
Speaker 2: will push shot inside. I mean, he was just awesome.

780
00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:01,759
Speaker 2: Forget defensively, He's giving you eighteen points and a lot

781
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:03,800
Speaker 2: of those threes in the first half they needed them.

782
00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:05,919
Speaker 2: And then Jimmy sort of flirting with the triple double,

783
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:08,799
Speaker 2: and then everybody playing apart was really really impressive. So

784
00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:11,680
Speaker 2: I do have the stat here. Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday

785
00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:14,760
Speaker 2: became the first three day stretch in NBA playoff history

786
00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:18,200
Speaker 2: where visiting teams combined to go at least six and zero.

787
00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:22,800
Speaker 2: So it started with Sunday's Indiana's Game one win in Cleveland,

788
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:26,960
Speaker 2: then Golden State's Game seven road win in Houston that

789
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:28,960
Speaker 2: concluded the first round, and then we've got wins by

790
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:31,279
Speaker 2: New York and Denver on Monday, and then last night

791
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:34,040
Speaker 2: Tuesday night, Indiana and Golden State winning on the road,

792
00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:35,600
Speaker 2: home court advantage.

793
00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:39,879
Speaker 3: No more, no more twenty point leads. They don't matter.

794
00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:43,400
Speaker 3: Things have changed. It's crazy in the NBA.

795
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:46,160
Speaker 2: Any other notes from Wolves Warriors Game one.

796
00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:47,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was just checking to see if the Wolves

797
00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:49,880
Speaker 1: maybe lost the game won last year and still many

798
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:52,320
Speaker 1: the conference finals. Now that didn't have it. They always

799
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:55,160
Speaker 1: win game one. So we'll see if this changes here

800
00:35:55,600 --> 00:36:00,600
Speaker 1: that's over. Maybe you're calling it no staff that helps

801
00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:04,080
Speaker 1: you gotta be better, I will say. Brandon Pajemski his

802
00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:07,080
Speaker 1: interview after the first quarter, shown that he's going to

803
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:10,080
Speaker 1: have his own pod, the pod Pod, Brandon pod Pod.

804
00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:12,760
Speaker 1: I mean, he's just a really eloquent guy. He always

805
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:16,120
Speaker 1: has been. He just spits stuff. He's always been super,

806
00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:18,799
Speaker 1: super comfortable on the mic. He was great. We'll see

807
00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:22,080
Speaker 1: when that happens, probably next season, I guess maybe Draymond

808
00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:23,080
Speaker 1: Green starts.

809
00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:25,879
Speaker 3: He's got a lot of podcast network. Yeah, his show,

810
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:27,239
Speaker 3: he's got the Jimmy and Buddy Show.

811
00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:30,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's got pods pod Yeah exactly. Yeah, sure, Steph

812
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:35,279
Speaker 2: will do what wasn't Steph did he have with his wife? Yeah?

813
00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:36,920
Speaker 2: Does like a million shows?

814
00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:37,799
Speaker 1: Yeah?

815
00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:40,800
Speaker 2: Uh, And again we sort of lost over him a

816
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:42,560
Speaker 2: Buddy Healed. We said he was like a huge X

817
00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:44,440
Speaker 2: factor in this series because we saw what he did

818
00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:46,160
Speaker 2: in the last series. When he played well, they won.

819
00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:49,480
Speaker 2: When he didn't, they lost twenty four points eight boards.

820
00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:53,320
Speaker 2: I mean, he was pretty damn good and he barely

821
00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:54,840
Speaker 2: you couldn't hit a shot in the first half. So

822
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:57,880
Speaker 2: the tail of two halves for Buddy, I guess what

823
00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:00,399
Speaker 2: what were his things? Again? He was Buddy Fresh, Buddy

824
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:02,320
Speaker 2: love Buddy buckets. But he loving Buddy buckets. But do

825
00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:06,240
Speaker 2: you hear what Jimmy Butler calls him butter? I guess

826
00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:08,759
Speaker 2: b U D D E R. And he like kept

827
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:11,200
Speaker 2: he bays. Buddy was like, stop calling me Butter, and

828
00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:13,399
Speaker 2: then he's like, but that's what Buddy is short for.

829
00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:17,000
Speaker 2: So I want to see butter added to the basketball

830
00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 2: reference page for Buddy Heel. They were very funny, those two.

831
00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:24,200
Speaker 3: They were very funny. Like I saw probably four separate

832
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:27,480
Speaker 3: clips all from the same thing. Yeah, and it's a

833
00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:30,200
Speaker 3: great NIX. It's like one guy who's the angry mean

834
00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:32,920
Speaker 3: guy and one guy who it all rolls off his

835
00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:34,439
Speaker 3: back matter what you say to him.

836
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:35,560
Speaker 1: That's a great NIX.

837
00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:39,680
Speaker 2: During the that like press conference, Jimmy just keeps grabbing

838
00:37:39,719 --> 00:37:42,600
Speaker 2: Buddy's arm. He like keeps like flexing on his arm.

839
00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:44,040
Speaker 1: Why I don't know.

840
00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:47,799
Speaker 2: I don't know, but he just keeps going like this.

841
00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:49,320
Speaker 2: You can see it like a million times.

842
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:51,720
Speaker 3: I had Uh, I was gonna say, I had a buddy.

843
00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:54,000
Speaker 3: I had a friend in high school who wore the

844
00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:56,759
Speaker 3: wrong shorts for a game once Brad Corneil's mm hm,

845
00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:01,360
Speaker 3: but we didn't have a backup, so he just played

846
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:04,520
Speaker 3: with mismatch top and bottom shorts. That's pretty sweet looking.

847
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:07,480
Speaker 2: Right, But I assume these shorts were drastically different, Like.

848
00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:11,680
Speaker 3: Wow, there was this okay, so are we were purple

849
00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:14,080
Speaker 3: and white where our school colors on one was purple

850
00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:15,640
Speaker 3: and white, one was white and purple. So he had

851
00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:17,640
Speaker 3: either like like the purple and white top with the

852
00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:20,200
Speaker 3: white and purple shorts, so it kind of matched, but

853
00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:23,040
Speaker 3: it just looked like two tones like the Washington Wizards

854
00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:23,640
Speaker 3: back in the day.

855
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:28,360
Speaker 2: Well, Buddy did say, I think jokingly that Jimmy is

856
00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:31,200
Speaker 2: to blame for the shorts. Miscue. He said he swapped

857
00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:35,040
Speaker 2: them because something Jimmy would do. I know, I know

858
00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:37,560
Speaker 2: Jimmy would saying I didn't do anything, but I guess

859
00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:40,279
Speaker 2: their lockers are side by side, So could he have

860
00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:42,600
Speaker 2: done it. Could he have gotten somebody equipment manager to

861
00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:45,600
Speaker 2: do it? Yeah, I guess so. But anyway, keep at it,

862
00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:47,719
Speaker 2: keeping the highjinks because they're rolling right now. But he

863
00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:48,399
Speaker 2: hilts on fire.

864
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:52,719
Speaker 1: I mean, the guy hadn't made the playoffs until last year,

865
00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:56,440
Speaker 1: his eighth year of the of his career, and the

866
00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:58,479
Speaker 1: Sixers didn't really use him all that much. They tossed

867
00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:00,000
Speaker 1: him in into the last game because they were dead.

868
00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:01,839
Speaker 1: He did have a good game, I mean, he played

869
00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:03,759
Speaker 1: in four games. The last one was his only good one.

870
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:06,920
Speaker 1: But this is the best run. Clearly, the Goal State

871
00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:09,680
Speaker 1: Warriors trickle down effect is a little bonkers. I did

872
00:39:09,719 --> 00:39:13,360
Speaker 1: not expect it, but it is clear that's what's happening.

873
00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:16,520
Speaker 2: All right, Let's get to some NBA news from the

874
00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:20,400
Speaker 2: past couple of days. On Monday, Greg Popovich officially passed

875
00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:24,880
Speaker 2: the Spurs coaching baton to Mitch Johnson. Most of you

876
00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:27,400
Speaker 2: know pop suffered a mild stroke in November. He stepped

877
00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:30,320
Speaker 2: away from the team for most of the season. Johnson,

878
00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:34,600
Speaker 2: then an assistant, took over. Spurs had a decent year

879
00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:36,840
Speaker 2: obviously the lost Webbin Yama sort of halfway through, but

880
00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:39,319
Speaker 2: thirty four and forty eight and missed the postseason. But

881
00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:42,640
Speaker 2: Mitch Johnson is going to be the official next head coach.

882
00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:45,040
Speaker 2: And it was great to see Pop and obviously some

883
00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:47,080
Speaker 2: funny moments even in the press conference there with the

884
00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:49,319
Speaker 2: shirt and with the Hall of Famers beside him, but

885
00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:52,000
Speaker 2: again it was legit like a passing of the baton

886
00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:53,640
Speaker 2: to this guy tray big time.

887
00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:54,120
Speaker 1: It was.

888
00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:57,040
Speaker 3: There were a lot of memes going around of the

889
00:39:57,080 --> 00:40:00,520
Speaker 3: teenage mutant Ninja Turtles with Master Splinter, then flipping it

890
00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:04,120
Speaker 3: to the aged Master Splinter with the grown Turtles. That

891
00:40:04,239 --> 00:40:07,520
Speaker 3: was Greg Popovitch walking off with Tim Duncan to his side.

892
00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:09,279
Speaker 3: I thought that was a hilarious moment where he's like,

893
00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:10,799
Speaker 3: I know, you guys are just here to make me

894
00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:11,960
Speaker 3: do hard stuff in rehab.

895
00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:12,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, great stuff.

896
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:14,680
Speaker 3: He seemed like he was in good spirits, but it

897
00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:17,840
Speaker 3: was basically like I just can't coach anymore. Yeah, but

898
00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:20,600
Speaker 3: I'm still going to be around, which is good, which

899
00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:22,440
Speaker 3: is just good. But man, what an end of the

900
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:25,040
Speaker 3: era of the Greg Popovitch time. I was in eighth

901
00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:28,799
Speaker 3: grade when he started coaching the Spurs. Yeah, I went look.

902
00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:32,080
Speaker 3: December tenth, nineteen ninety six, was his first game as

903
00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:34,399
Speaker 3: the coach for the San Antonio Spurs. Almost didn't finish

904
00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:37,480
Speaker 3: out the season. It's like, how disliked he was, But

905
00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:40,080
Speaker 3: just wait, just wait, we're gonna be the most successful

906
00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:43,040
Speaker 3: team of the two thousands. You know, they ended up tanking.

907
00:40:43,239 --> 00:40:45,120
Speaker 3: Things worked out for him. So I was just trying

908
00:40:45,120 --> 00:40:47,239
Speaker 3: to think what was I doing December tenth, nineteen ninety six,

909
00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:49,840
Speaker 3: and I think I was excited for Mars attacks to

910
00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:50,200
Speaker 3: come out.

911
00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:53,759
Speaker 2: Oh wow, yeah, you must getting ready for Christmas too. Yeah, yeah, I.

912
00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:55,840
Speaker 3: Guess I'll probably make it a list, checking it twice.

913
00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:58,560
Speaker 3: That's not my job, that's the big man. See.

914
00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:02,440
Speaker 1: Yeah. I guess what's interesting is the Spurs didn't have

915
00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:04,759
Speaker 1: a list. They didn't even go look at another head coach.

916
00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:07,080
Speaker 1: They just said, miss Johnson, you are the guy. That's

917
00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:10,600
Speaker 1: how much they believe in his character and de Johontey

918
00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:15,200
Speaker 1: Murray came to the press conference because he had been

919
00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:16,759
Speaker 1: with him for a long time in San Antonio. But

920
00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:19,200
Speaker 1: it went back way longer than that, and that's how

921
00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:21,040
Speaker 1: much he loved him. He helped him as a teen,

922
00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:24,680
Speaker 1: Johnson helped him build an AAU team. He was his mentor.

923
00:41:24,719 --> 00:41:27,960
Speaker 1: Really like John Say, Murray got got real. This is

924
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:30,200
Speaker 1: his quote. It's a testament to hard work, dedication, but

925
00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:32,799
Speaker 1: most importantly his character, the loving, caring man he is.

926
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:34,799
Speaker 1: I'm thankful for him, I'm grateful for him, and I'm

927
00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:36,719
Speaker 1: proud for him. This is rare. This is bigger than

928
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:39,640
Speaker 1: just him, and he understands that. I'm not surprised because

929
00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:41,800
Speaker 1: he's smart, he's patient. Accountability is a big word that

930
00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:48,080
Speaker 1: he stands on. That sounds a lot like a student

931
00:41:48,239 --> 00:41:52,279
Speaker 1: of great Popata. Yeah, and obviously somebody helps people accountable

932
00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:58,720
Speaker 1: and just being entirely about the team and things bigger

933
00:41:58,719 --> 00:42:00,400
Speaker 1: than that. So Kelly, Youico had a great right up

934
00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:04,440
Speaker 1: on that on the athletic But the whole thing just

935
00:42:04,520 --> 00:42:06,680
Speaker 1: makes makes sense now when you when you're on the

936
00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:09,719
Speaker 1: outside looking in pop l Hafe now, as his new

937
00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:12,560
Speaker 1: T shirt says, passing it, passing it a lot.

938
00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:14,640
Speaker 2: That was pretty funny. Near the end of his remarks

939
00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:16,920
Speaker 2: on zipping the jacket to show the shirt, and then

940
00:42:16,920 --> 00:42:20,600
Speaker 2: he turned around when he had Duncan Ingenobli with him. Yeah.

941
00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:24,239
Speaker 2: To me, this was like I'm guessing Pop didn't really

942
00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:26,440
Speaker 2: want to do this, but like, I'll do this for

943
00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:29,479
Speaker 2: miss Johnson and for the Spurs organization. You know. Pop

944
00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:30,960
Speaker 2: is always like yeah, none of this, none of this

945
00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:32,920
Speaker 2: fanfare and stuff like this. But like again, this like

946
00:42:33,239 --> 00:42:36,480
Speaker 2: he has my blessing. You know, I'm okay, I'm here,

947
00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:37,680
Speaker 2: I want I'm still going to be a part of

948
00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:39,719
Speaker 2: the team, you know, and sort of in a presidential role.

949
00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:43,040
Speaker 2: But like, Mitch did an incredible job given the circumstances

950
00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:45,520
Speaker 2: that he undertook, and sort of sort of has my

951
00:42:45,560 --> 00:42:48,040
Speaker 2: blessing and now we move forward. So it was really

952
00:42:48,040 --> 00:42:50,319
Speaker 2: cool and it was just awesome to see him more

953
00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:54,560
Speaker 2: than anything. Moving on other coaching news, Kenny Atkinson. He

954
00:42:54,680 --> 00:42:57,040
Speaker 2: was named the NBA Coach of the Year after leading

955
00:42:57,040 --> 00:42:59,480
Speaker 2: the Cavs to sixty four wins and the number one

956
00:42:59,520 --> 00:43:02,279
Speaker 2: seed in the East. Yeah. Maybe bad timing right now

957
00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:05,200
Speaker 2: for poor Kenny here down to oh but he received

958
00:43:05,239 --> 00:43:07,959
Speaker 2: fifty nine of the possible one hundred first place votes

959
00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:11,560
Speaker 2: from the media panel. He beat out Piston's coach JB. Bickerstaff,

960
00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:15,399
Speaker 2: the man he replaced for the n that's crazy, lit

961
00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:19,240
Speaker 2: a odd and then Rockets coach he may Udoka finishing third.

962
00:43:19,360 --> 00:43:21,719
Speaker 2: So Kenny not a surprised here. I don't think that's

963
00:43:21,880 --> 00:43:23,360
Speaker 2: I think a lot of people thought. I mean, I

964
00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:25,320
Speaker 2: felt like when he won the first fifteen games of

965
00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:29,120
Speaker 2: the season it was sort of wrapped up. Then great

966
00:43:29,160 --> 00:43:31,160
Speaker 2: seasons from Bickerstaff and you dope and stuff like that.

967
00:43:31,200 --> 00:43:33,080
Speaker 2: But sixty four wins is impressive.

968
00:43:33,280 --> 00:43:38,600
Speaker 1: Absolutely, obviously it's his. He deserves it. I liked his

969
00:43:38,680 --> 00:43:41,360
Speaker 1: remarks about being fired from Brooklyn. He said that was

970
00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:45,919
Speaker 1: something that just helped me grow tremendously, going and being

971
00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:48,719
Speaker 1: a coach with the Golden State Warriors and learning what

972
00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:50,680
Speaker 1: Steve Kerr did as soon as he took over from

973
00:43:50,680 --> 00:43:53,560
Speaker 1: Mark Jackson, change it up as he did with Cleveland

974
00:43:53,760 --> 00:43:55,840
Speaker 1: being under Tylo and all that. But yeah, it is

975
00:43:55,960 --> 00:44:00,080
Speaker 1: terrible timing. I know, after that and the ending of

976
00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:02,480
Speaker 1: that game and even the interview after the end of

977
00:44:02,520 --> 00:44:04,200
Speaker 1: third quarter, I thought he was maybe just a little

978
00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:05,879
Speaker 1: too confident that they were going to win that thing.

979
00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:10,360
Speaker 1: I'm reading into it now. Obviously in hindsight, he was fine,

980
00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:14,040
Speaker 1: but it wasn't fortunate how it all ended there. In

981
00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:16,120
Speaker 1: Game two, but yeah, he went. He deserves it.

982
00:44:16,320 --> 00:44:18,840
Speaker 2: Any notes on coach Kenny, Yeah, I.

983
00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:21,799
Speaker 3: Guess they wouldn't have had any good representatives to give

984
00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:25,520
Speaker 3: this to because Detroit has been bounced, Houston has been bounced,

985
00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:28,759
Speaker 3: Oklahoma City lost because Mark Diagnall kept following up three

986
00:44:29,080 --> 00:44:31,759
Speaker 3: and Tyler has already been bounced by the Clippers. So

987
00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:35,879
Speaker 3: I guess at least this guy's still around. But Kenny

988
00:44:35,920 --> 00:44:39,120
Speaker 3: Atkinson was the clear choice. The same Cavs team came

989
00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:40,879
Speaker 3: back and they went from being good in the Eastern

990
00:44:40,920 --> 00:44:43,320
Speaker 3: Conference to being the best team in the Eastern Conference.

991
00:44:43,360 --> 00:44:46,759
Speaker 3: And it was Kenny atkinson influence, getting the buy in

992
00:44:46,760 --> 00:44:48,839
Speaker 3: from Mitchell to take a back seat for the good

993
00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:51,600
Speaker 3: of the team, the development of Evan Mobley, a bounce

994
00:44:51,680 --> 00:44:54,440
Speaker 3: back season for Darius Garland. The top five was my

995
00:44:54,520 --> 00:44:56,000
Speaker 3: all coach team, so I think they did perfect.

996
00:44:56,040 --> 00:44:57,319
Speaker 2: There you go, h oh.

997
00:44:57,400 --> 00:45:00,000
Speaker 1: Number six is the question, who was it? JJ Reddick

998
00:45:00,840 --> 00:45:04,800
Speaker 1: five votes, No, first, not even.

999
00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:09,719
Speaker 2: Close, okay sees. Sam Presty was announced on Tuesday as

1000
00:45:09,760 --> 00:45:12,160
Speaker 2: the NBA's Executive of the Year of the Reward for

1001
00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:14,080
Speaker 2: building a team that won a league best sixty eight

1002
00:45:14,160 --> 00:45:17,840
Speaker 2: games this season. Presty is the Thunders executive vice president

1003
00:45:17,920 --> 00:45:20,480
Speaker 2: and also their GM. He got ten first place votes

1004
00:45:20,920 --> 00:45:24,520
Speaker 2: from a panel of thirty basketball executives. So what they

1005
00:45:24,600 --> 00:45:27,000
Speaker 2: do is they rank their top three choices in order.

1006
00:45:27,280 --> 00:45:30,439
Speaker 2: This isn't a media award. This is the other executives

1007
00:45:30,600 --> 00:45:34,040
Speaker 2: voting on who they think amongst their peers should get it.

1008
00:45:34,239 --> 00:45:37,600
Speaker 2: Presty appeared on twenty two of the thirty total ballots,

1009
00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:42,160
Speaker 2: So Sam Presty wins this TK from the other executives.

1010
00:45:42,200 --> 00:45:45,400
Speaker 3: Good for him. Yeah, yeah, I guess this means the

1011
00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:47,200
Speaker 3: thunder one the cruis a giddy trade.

1012
00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:48,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess.

1013
00:45:48,680 --> 00:45:50,799
Speaker 3: So I guess that that means.

1014
00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:52,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, but it's true.

1015
00:45:52,600 --> 00:45:55,160
Speaker 3: This is voted on by other gms, right, because we're

1016
00:45:55,239 --> 00:45:57,160
Speaker 3: voted on by the media. Would have been Nico Harrison

1017
00:45:57,160 --> 00:45:59,920
Speaker 3: for giving us all of those clicks. Guys, he's my

1018
00:46:00,120 --> 00:46:02,160
Speaker 3: executly the year. Thanks for the great February.

1019
00:46:02,320 --> 00:46:05,279
Speaker 2: Well yeah, Rob Blinka, who helped engineer the biggest trade

1020
00:46:05,280 --> 00:46:08,799
Speaker 2: of the season, bringing Luca to the Lakers, he was

1021
00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:12,160
Speaker 2: listed on only five of the thirty ballots, so I

1022
00:46:12,239 --> 00:46:14,719
Speaker 2: read that as the other executives were like, yeah, he

1023
00:46:14,800 --> 00:46:18,319
Speaker 2: got lucky as hell man. Nico Harrison only called Rob

1024
00:46:18,360 --> 00:46:21,200
Speaker 2: Blanka and they did the deal. They would have called me,

1025
00:46:21,640 --> 00:46:23,160
Speaker 2: we would have given you something different. We would have

1026
00:46:23,200 --> 00:46:26,040
Speaker 2: had Luca. But yeah, Sam Prestigatz.

1027
00:46:26,040 --> 00:46:27,000
Speaker 1: Is this his first time?

1028
00:46:27,719 --> 00:46:30,759
Speaker 2: Yeah? I thought, yeah, maybe he would have had one,

1029
00:46:30,760 --> 00:46:31,040
Speaker 2: but no.

1030
00:46:31,400 --> 00:46:35,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's surprising that the other executives they wait a

1031
00:46:35,080 --> 00:46:38,400
Speaker 1: couple of years. It feels like they've built obviously an

1032
00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:42,000
Speaker 1: incredible team. But I guess the Caruso was the cherry

1033
00:46:42,040 --> 00:46:44,839
Speaker 1: on top. Now he can give it to him because

1034
00:46:44,840 --> 00:46:46,919
Speaker 1: he's obviously been deserving it of it for a couple

1035
00:46:46,960 --> 00:46:47,320
Speaker 1: of years.

1036
00:46:47,760 --> 00:46:49,680
Speaker 2: Final piece of news here, it was a little weird.

1037
00:46:50,239 --> 00:46:52,799
Speaker 2: NBC Sports announced this week that it will use an

1038
00:46:52,800 --> 00:46:57,640
Speaker 2: AI generated voice a former narrator Jim Fagan for elements

1039
00:46:58,120 --> 00:47:01,600
Speaker 2: of its NBA coverage and promotion. So the voice of Fagan,

1040
00:47:01,640 --> 00:47:05,440
Speaker 2: who passed away in twenty seventeen, was pretty synonymous with

1041
00:47:05,560 --> 00:47:09,120
Speaker 2: NBC sports critically acclaimed coverage of the NBA in the nineties.

1042
00:47:09,400 --> 00:47:11,880
Speaker 2: And here's the latest. I guess, quick little probo to

1043
00:47:11,880 --> 00:47:17,800
Speaker 2: get you ready for next season. The NBA on NBC

1044
00:47:18,040 --> 00:47:23,960
Speaker 2: is bad. See you this October for the NBA season

1045
00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:30,200
Speaker 2: tip off. All right, we'll see ya later this fall.

1046
00:47:30,280 --> 00:47:34,320
Speaker 2: But that is the AI generated voice of Jim Fagan.

1047
00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:36,480
Speaker 2: Now they got the okay from his family and all

1048
00:47:36,520 --> 00:47:39,360
Speaker 2: of that. But you know, some people are very upset

1049
00:47:39,400 --> 00:47:42,640
Speaker 2: by this, even though it's playing on nostalgia, because you

1050
00:47:42,640 --> 00:47:44,440
Speaker 2: hear that voice, it's like, oh, yeah, here we go.

1051
00:47:45,280 --> 00:47:48,560
Speaker 2: Who's Jordan and the Bulls playing. That's what I immediately think

1052
00:47:48,800 --> 00:47:49,200
Speaker 2: it is.

1053
00:47:49,239 --> 00:47:52,000
Speaker 3: But also when NBC was announced as the new partner

1054
00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:54,120
Speaker 3: for the NBA, people were super excited.

1055
00:47:54,200 --> 00:47:55,399
Speaker 2: People are like, oh, this is.

1056
00:47:55,320 --> 00:48:00,440
Speaker 3: Gonna be great row Ball rock storytelling. Bob Costas literally

1057
00:48:00,480 --> 00:48:02,920
Speaker 3: no one said Jim Fagan's voice narrating it.

1058
00:48:03,160 --> 00:48:03,759
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1059
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:08,799
Speaker 3: Yeah, there are people working today who would love this check. Look,

1060
00:48:08,800 --> 00:48:11,400
Speaker 3: I'm sure Jim Fagan's family loves the check as well. Yeah,

1061
00:48:11,440 --> 00:48:13,200
Speaker 3: but this is unnecessary and weird.

1062
00:48:14,480 --> 00:48:16,440
Speaker 2: Agree, disagree? Well, I love it.

1063
00:48:16,680 --> 00:48:22,160
Speaker 1: I've never been more excited for an AI voiceover. This

1064
00:48:22,280 --> 00:48:24,879
Speaker 1: comes back. Yeah, the nostalgia comes back. Now. He may

1065
00:48:24,920 --> 00:48:29,759
Speaker 1: not be it for the entirety of NBC's tenure here, like,

1066
00:48:29,880 --> 00:48:30,960
Speaker 1: maybe somebody else takes over.

1067
00:48:30,960 --> 00:48:32,080
Speaker 2: It may not last long after.

1068
00:48:33,200 --> 00:48:37,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, but the backlashes, Hey, give it to somebody else.

1069
00:48:37,960 --> 00:48:40,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, the backlashes. This is a little weird. He's passed

1070
00:48:41,080 --> 00:48:44,719
Speaker 2: and somebody else could do this. If I'm being honest,

1071
00:48:44,719 --> 00:48:46,560
Speaker 2: when I listen to that clip, of course, it like

1072
00:48:46,840 --> 00:48:48,759
Speaker 2: does it sound like him? Yes, but it does.

1073
00:48:48,840 --> 00:48:49,440
Speaker 1: It's not.

1074
00:48:49,760 --> 00:48:51,880
Speaker 2: You won't believe this. It's not identical because it's not

1075
00:48:51,880 --> 00:48:54,359
Speaker 2: his damn voice. It's you know, AI generated. Yeah, if

1076
00:48:54,360 --> 00:48:55,840
Speaker 2: you go listen to like the old clips that you

1077
00:48:55,840 --> 00:48:58,920
Speaker 2: can find on YouTube from actual Jim Fagan doing those voiceovers,

1078
00:48:59,000 --> 00:48:59,960
Speaker 2: it is a little different.

1079
00:49:00,120 --> 00:49:02,120
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think I think they will use somebody else

1080
00:49:02,120 --> 00:49:07,560
Speaker 1: when they determine. Not so much right now and everybody

1081
00:49:07,640 --> 00:49:10,200
Speaker 1: hating them. I think it's just well, this voice doesn't

1082
00:49:10,280 --> 00:49:12,480
Speaker 1: sound like what we need, you know, if it can't

1083
00:49:12,520 --> 00:49:14,840
Speaker 1: generate that well. But also just to move on, this

1084
00:49:14,920 --> 00:49:17,680
Speaker 1: is the nostalgia clip. This is now we're talking about it,

1085
00:49:17,880 --> 00:49:18,359
Speaker 1: and that's it.

1086
00:49:18,440 --> 00:49:21,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the thing. They are leaning so heavily into

1087
00:49:21,600 --> 00:49:24,200
Speaker 2: the nostalgia factor. But maybe this is where they're crossing

1088
00:49:24,200 --> 00:49:26,000
Speaker 2: the line a little bit, like did you really need this?

1089
00:49:26,480 --> 00:49:30,880
Speaker 2: Probably not. We got John Tesh's round Ball rock all right, cool, awesome.

1090
00:49:31,040 --> 00:49:34,280
Speaker 2: I also have read that NBC Sports president Rick Cordella

1091
00:49:34,719 --> 00:49:38,520
Speaker 2: he is keen on bringing back like player introductions as

1092
00:49:38,560 --> 00:49:41,880
Speaker 2: part of the broadcasts to help present that big game atmosphere.

1093
00:49:41,920 --> 00:49:43,840
Speaker 2: It's something we see less and less of, right, but

1094
00:49:43,880 --> 00:49:46,239
Speaker 2: that was something like that was like a staple back

1095
00:49:46,280 --> 00:49:48,799
Speaker 2: in the day. Okay, that's cool, you know. I mean,

1096
00:49:49,120 --> 00:49:51,759
Speaker 2: it's a fun idea. Try it, but maybe not this.

1097
00:49:52,160 --> 00:49:56,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, bring back intros. They're good now they're good.

1098
00:49:56,040 --> 00:49:59,120
Speaker 1: When I watch the NBA in arena feed and I

1099
00:49:59,120 --> 00:50:02,520
Speaker 1: see it depending on the arena summer, good Grizzlies kill it.

1100
00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:06,239
Speaker 1: They're so good. The opposing team is good, and maybe

1101
00:50:06,239 --> 00:50:09,279
Speaker 1: that's not good for them, but they pull out such

1102
00:50:09,320 --> 00:50:11,239
Speaker 1: incredible music. So yeah, it adds.

1103
00:50:11,360 --> 00:50:13,880
Speaker 2: It adds to the atmosphere, like watching them through your

1104
00:50:13,880 --> 00:50:16,799
Speaker 2: television screen. So that's a good idea. Rick they say,

1105
00:50:16,840 --> 00:50:19,319
Speaker 2: I generated voice. Maybe not, maybe not, but let's hear

1106
00:50:19,320 --> 00:50:21,319
Speaker 2: from you guys. What do you think? Thumbs up? Thumbs down?

1107
00:50:21,440 --> 00:50:22,440
Speaker 2: Is this instulgia hit?

1108
00:50:23,640 --> 00:50:24,680
Speaker 1: What would you rather have? Though?

1109
00:50:24,760 --> 00:50:25,960
Speaker 2: Just just another voice?

1110
00:50:26,080 --> 00:50:28,839
Speaker 3: You wouldn't you have noticed anything if it was any

1111
00:50:28,880 --> 00:50:31,080
Speaker 3: other person, Nobody would have said anything. They would be like,

1112
00:50:31,080 --> 00:50:32,120
Speaker 3: oh cool, cool promo.

1113
00:50:32,840 --> 00:50:34,960
Speaker 2: Yeah exactly, especially because you have the music.

1114
00:50:35,040 --> 00:50:37,319
Speaker 3: We got the music that matters.

1115
00:50:37,400 --> 00:50:39,960
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, but now you get the nineties voice that

1116
00:50:40,120 --> 00:50:43,480
Speaker 1: people know. Not everybody knows, But why wouldn't you have

1117
00:50:43,520 --> 00:50:44,200
Speaker 1: a voice that you know?

1118
00:50:44,320 --> 00:50:45,680
Speaker 3: All right, bring back Marv Albert?

1119
00:50:46,960 --> 00:50:47,880
Speaker 2: Where do you stop testing?

1120
00:50:49,080 --> 00:50:50,640
Speaker 4: I say, get rid of Ramball Rock.

1121
00:50:50,760 --> 00:50:51,359
Speaker 2: Get rid of it?

1122
00:50:51,719 --> 00:50:54,400
Speaker 3: He rerecorded it. They didn't just use a one one

1123
00:50:54,920 --> 00:50:55,279
Speaker 3: he did.

1124
00:50:55,360 --> 00:50:55,760
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1125
00:50:55,960 --> 00:51:00,000
Speaker 4: Well, I mean, come on, have some confidence in your product.

1126
00:51:00,480 --> 00:51:05,319
Speaker 4: You're like, you're yes, the dads are excited. Great, I'm

1127
00:51:05,360 --> 00:51:07,600

Speaker 4: Kids, Like, let's get some new shit in here.

1130
00:51:11,360 --> 00:51:12,200
Speaker 3: They don't watch TV?

1131
00:51:12,760 --> 00:51:14,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, highlight that.

1132
00:51:14,680 --> 00:51:17,040
Speaker 4: Okay, well maybe we should try to get them to

1133
00:51:17,320 --> 00:51:21,839
Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying, like, let's move on, Let's

1134
00:51:21,880 --> 00:51:24,840
Speaker 4: let's have something new, like, yeah, have a have a

1135
00:51:24,960 --> 00:51:27,640
Speaker 4: round ball rock, like an illusion to it in the

1136
00:51:27,680 --> 00:51:32,040
Speaker 4: actual new theme, right, like you can be creative with it.

1137
00:51:32,440 --> 00:51:35,399
Speaker 4: But yeah, it's just they're leaning way too hard into

1138
00:51:35,440 --> 00:51:38,080
Speaker 4: the nostalgia and it's I find it very annoying and

1139
00:51:39,080 --> 00:51:42,560
Speaker 4: kind of scary. Actually, like you guys have had twenty

1140
00:51:42,680 --> 00:51:44,800
Speaker 4: years to think about this, and this is your.

1141

Speaker 4: No, I mean, like, you know, all due respect, like

1146
00:51:52,560 --> 00:51:55,880
Speaker 4: as you say, like there's so many people who could

1147
00:51:56,000 --> 00:51:58,439
Speaker 4: just could do the job, Like, so let's have maybe

1148
00:51:58,440 --> 00:51:59,080
Speaker 4: somebody living.

1149
00:51:59,160 --> 00:52:02,000
Speaker 2: That's all I agree. All right, Well, we got two

1150
00:52:02,040 --> 00:52:06,680
Speaker 2: games on tonight, Nick Celtics seven pm on TNT New

1151
00:52:06,760 --> 00:52:09,000
Speaker 2: York up one. Oh, and then we got Nuggets Thunder

1152
00:52:09,120 --> 00:52:12,400
Speaker 2: nine thirty at the second game on the doubleheader Denver

1153
00:52:12,520 --> 00:52:14,520
Speaker 2: up one. Oh. My question, do we have a home

1154
00:52:14,560 --> 00:52:16,719
Speaker 2: team win tonight? I started the podcast that way I'm

1155
00:52:16,719 --> 00:52:19,640
Speaker 2: gonna end it. Do you think one, if not two,

1156
00:52:20,280 --> 00:52:22,040
Speaker 2: of these teams actually win a home game tonight?

1157
00:52:22,760 --> 00:52:25,560
Speaker 1: I think both both home teams win. Wow, Yeah, I

1158
00:52:25,560 --> 00:52:28,360
Speaker 1: think okay, and Boston's gonna shoot at least seventy five

1159
00:52:28,480 --> 00:52:32,280
Speaker 1: to ninety five three. Yeah, they'll be far better.

1160
00:52:32,400 --> 00:52:32,720
Speaker 2: Okay.

1161
00:52:32,719 --> 00:52:35,680
Speaker 1: I think it's the Celtics will have way more energy,

1162
00:52:36,560 --> 00:52:39,080
Speaker 1: not just sit on their hands on both ends.

1163
00:52:39,360 --> 00:52:41,200
Speaker 2: Okay. So yeah, so you like a home team at

1164
00:52:41,280 --> 00:52:43,239
Speaker 2: least coming through to night. If not both, Trey, You're

1165
00:52:43,320 --> 00:52:44,000
Speaker 2: not in your head.

1166
00:52:44,200 --> 00:52:46,600
Speaker 3: I like the Celtics to win for sure, okay. And

1167
00:52:46,640 --> 00:52:49,080
Speaker 3: I'm curious to see what the Thunder try and do

1168
00:52:49,160 --> 00:52:51,480
Speaker 3: with Jokic okay, because I don't know if chat Holmgren

1169
00:52:51,520 --> 00:52:54,040
Speaker 3: and Isaiah Hartenstein gained enough weight in the past two

1170
00:52:54,120 --> 00:52:56,759
Speaker 3: days to really compete, but maybe.

1171
00:52:56,680 --> 00:52:59,799
