00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:06,120
Speaker 1: But we can't drink this wine.

2
00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:09,280
Speaker 2: Okay, it is corked, it's no longer good, it's no.

3
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:09,840
Speaker 1: Longer with us.

00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 3: Okay, wet cardboard, underdose and vinegar, vinegar in my brain.

6
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:22,759
Speaker 4: she is annoying. She's talking, talking, talking. I want to

7
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:25,360
Speaker 4: say to her, You've lied to me about your age,

8
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 4: You've lied to me about your home, and now you're

9
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 4: lying to me about your interest.

10
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:32,479
Speaker 2: I don't care for that. I don't want to hear

11
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 2: another word about the Starbuck Secret menu. Then she tells

12
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:39,040
Speaker 2: me she wants to have a baby. Oh jasy luisay,

Speaker 6: We are sticking swabs up our nose left and right.

39
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 6: But yeah, we all got it.

40
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 1: What can you do?

41
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 6: You know, you just got to follow the guidelines. Guys,

42
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 6: I don't know. Yeah, I mean, it's we're fine. Feel honestly,

43
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 6: it's you know, I mean, COVID is a scourge, but

44
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 6: I'm triple vexed, and we're like, I've never had a

45
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 6: sickness like this, where like there's no fever at all,

46
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 6: Like it's just uh, it's the it's it's It's actually

47
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 6: kind of nice in that I don't have the delirium

48
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 6: of a fever, right, So I just feel a little

49
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 6: run down and that's about it and some congestion. But

50
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 6: I'm able to watch all my stories and you know,

51
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 6: it's stay away and and uh I actually watched a

52
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 6: little bit of every single basketball game this week.

53
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 1: Wow. Yeah, so there there you go.

54
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 5: You must have a fever.

55
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 7: Yeah, what are you rocking? The Jenny? You got tonygron

56
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:15,919
Speaker 7: A delta, the b A two vary what do you do?

57
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 6: You know, your guess is as good as mind lee.

58
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 6: I honestly, we were sort of tracing back, tracing our steps,

59
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:27,519
Speaker 6: and I think that the it's a Canadian Uh, it's

60
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 6: a Canadian variant because as you know home, as you know,

61
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 6: I was in Mexico last week, a friend of ours

62
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 6: came down. He got COVID immediately, like he was down

63
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 6: with COVID. Then my friend Derek he got he got

64
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 6: sick and he didn't get tested. But I'm pretty sure

65
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 6: he had COVID and then Rachel got COVID, so I

66
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 6: think it went all the way from Canada to Mexico

67
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 6: and then back with us.

68
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 5: So, as long as everybody's feeling too ill, So what's

69
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 5: the CDC guideline say? When are we back in the

70
00:03:57,960 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 5: classic Factory?

71
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 6: I mean I think off Thursday according to the test,

72
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 6: according to Jackson's able to go back to school on Friday,

73
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 6: and he tested after I did, like a day after. Okay, okay,

74
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 6: So all right, well, so the Thursday or Friday depending.

75
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 6: I mean, you know, it's up to you, guys. I mean,

76
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 6: I'm here. We could just open the door right oh,

100
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 5: eight series, eight games to sort of discuss. We'll try

101
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:34,600
Speaker 5: our best to get to the mall. But I got

102
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,279
Speaker 5: some questions that will maybe have us bouncing around. Man, Trey,

103
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 5: you are having cat problems here on a Monday. You

104
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:41,799
Speaker 5: got Cavid.

105
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:47,599
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, wil Wilber wants some love and right

106
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 3: now I was telling you all before the show, I

107
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 3: saw this man absolutely eviscerate a chipmunk over the weekend,

108
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 3: and I haven't been able to look at him the

109
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 3: same ever since I think he said him tell, Yeah,

110
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 3: he can tell. He's like, I need to be all

111
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 3: up in you right now. But here's the thing with Wilbert.

112
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 3: If I touch him once, I have to be petting

113
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 3: him for the next hour and a half. So I'm

114
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 3: kind of trying to like, you know, stay fingers away,

115
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:12,839
Speaker 3: move him away from the mic when I can literally

116
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 3: hear him purring. But we shall see, because if I

117
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 3: if I shout him out of the room, you're just

118
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 3: gonna hear him me owing, trying to get some sweet loving.

119
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:22,919
Speaker 5: So just damned if you do.

120
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 7: Damned if you don't doctor Evelett for the show and

121
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 7: just have him there, just stroke him the whole time.

122
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 5: All right, Well what's going on here? So oh yeah,

123
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 5: so bounce it around. We're gonna we're gonna tackle this

124
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:36,359
Speaker 5: task like sort of a conference out of time. I

125
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 5: think that's the best way. So we'll focus on the

126
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 5: Eastern Conference game ones, and then later in the show

127
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 5: after a break, we'll uh, you know, turn our attention

128
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 5: to the Western Conference game ones. So the question that

129
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 5: I'm gonna start this off with Eastern Conference playoffs only, okay, Ley,

130
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 5: And this is for you guys, of course, and for

131
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 5: everybody in the stream team and listening and watching later.

132
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 5: Who's your game one MVP from the East? Lee, where

133
00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 5: do you start?

134
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 7: I'm going with Jyson Titum and the Boston celt I think,

135
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 7: obviously the biggest game, the most important game, and the

136
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 7: most fun ending there and Jason Tatum, I mean, if

137
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:07,480
Speaker 7: we work backwards a little bit, of course, he hit

138
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 7: the game winning twisting, turning lay up in the lane

139
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 7: there where Kevin Durant kind of fell asleep a little

140
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 7: bit allowed Tatum to go inside. It looked like, initially

141
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 7: I said this on the show last night with use Kids,

142
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 7: I thought, I thought he didn't get it off in time,

143
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 7: but he did.

144
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 5: Celtics, Well, maybe that's because made Brien wasn't quite sure.

145
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 7: Well that's right, yeah, because it was such a chaot again.

146
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 7: I mean, that seemed like they made too many passes.

147
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 7: You know, Marcus Smart, it felt like he was going

148
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 7: to jack it up. He didn't. He makes the right

149
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 7: pass in the end, but prior to that, just some

150
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 7: incredible Boston Celtics defense on the Brooklyn Nets there to

151
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 7: force Kevin Durant into a tough shot, and it was

152
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 7: Jason Tatum who really was the last defender there on Durant.

153
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 7: Now we've seen him hit that shot, but still Tatum

154
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 7: was there. And I thought this was really what Jason

155
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 7: Tatum did for the Celtics a lot yesterday. I thought

156
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 7: he was fantastic offensively scoring the ball, distributing the ball,

157
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 7: especially in that first half, but also defensively. You know,

158
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 7: if you look at the box score, he picks up

159
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 7: one steer where he just ripped it out of Bruce

160
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 7: Brown's hands. He got two blows. One of them was

161
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:03,679
Speaker 7: on Kyrie Irving and one of them was on Kevin Durant.

162
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 7: That's not something a lot of people have to talk

163
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 7: about after a game. But I thought just offensively as well,

164
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 7: Like it wasn't like he had to go out and

165
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 7: score fifty points. He was such a factor though in

166
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 7: getting to the free throw line, taking good shots, knocking

167
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 7: down threes, and as I mentioned, he also had the

168
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 7: eight assists to go along with the thirty one points.

169
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 7: In just a huge victory here for the Boston Celtics

170
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 7: because it looked like it was going to be something

171
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 7: of a comfortable win there. They're up by fifteen points

172
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 7: and then Kyrie Irving in that fourth quarter was just unstoppable,

173
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:32,960
Speaker 7: and Jason Tatum in fact was defending him on a

174
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 7: couple of those plays there where Kyrie just kind of

175
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:36,840
Speaker 7: got past him or hit some you know, the tough

176
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 7: mid ranger there. So he was brilliant. But ultimately, I

177
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,560
Speaker 7: think because for the Boston Celtics, I thought al Horford

178
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 7: was probably their second best player, maybe Marcus Smart, who

179
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 7: was really good. Jalen Brown didn't have a great game.

180
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:50,839
Speaker 7: Derek White I didn't think in their entire bench didn't

181
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:53,320
Speaker 7: give them a whole lot. But Tatum, I mean he's

182
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 7: likely to be an All NBA first team player, and

183
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 7: you saw it because he's a two way player. I

184
00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:00,840
Speaker 7: mean he really is defensively taking the assignments on and

185
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:03,080
Speaker 7: then on the offensive ends doing everything for his team.

186
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 7: So I thought, you know, and again I mentioned this last,

187
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 7: I think the Celtics in the end escape with a

188
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 7: victory because I thought they kind of blew it there.

189
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,080
Speaker 7: They gave up, they were down by five in that

190
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:13,679
Speaker 7: fourth quarter, and ultimately they get away with it. Jalen

191
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:15,320
Speaker 7: Brown did have a nice player to get a back

192
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 7: to within one point on that second last offensive Possesson

193
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 7: where he sort of bulldozed.

194
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 5: Bruce Brown over a little bit, but would have put

195
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:23,079
Speaker 5: his ass in the basket.

196
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:25,320
Speaker 7: If they have called that an offensive fowler, that would

197
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 7: have been No, No, it wasn't, but you sometimes see

198
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 7: those ones called anyway. I just think Tatum really did

199
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,320
Speaker 7: step up. He's been already in his young career a

200
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:36,960
Speaker 7: very very good playoff performer, and in the key moments

201
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 7: there last night, I thought he was brilliant for Boston.

202
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, tass, what do you think of Celtics Nets Game

203
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,559
Speaker 5: one and the ending and teetum and how he played

204
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 5: and just you know, Kyrie dropping middle fingers to the crowd.

205
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 5: The whole thing was it was Shakespearean, they were saying

206
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 5: that Twitter.

207
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,679
Speaker 1: It kind of went like everyone expected, right, the better

208
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,559
Speaker 1: team leading after three quarters, the team that does it

209
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 1: by an and then the two dudes that take over

210
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 1: going on a run to start the fourth. It was

211
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 1: a double digit lead going into the fourth quarter for

212
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 1: the Celtics, then a seventeen to two run for the

213
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 1: Nets to take the lead, and then yeah, the better

214
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 1: team taking their time on that last possession, they'd only

215
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 1: scored seventeen points in that fourth quarter, and then using

216
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 1: every stink in second of the clock and not relying

217
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 1: on one guy. I'm so shocked to see Jalen Brown

218
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 1: go down there with the ball at eight seven six

219
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:34,680
Speaker 1: five and just being totally, totally calm and throwing it

220
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:36,960
Speaker 1: over to Marcus Smart who caught it with three and

221
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 1: a half seconds left. And I'm sure everybody, including Kevin Durant,

222
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 1: and I'm showing you a photo here in the stream,

223
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:43,960
Speaker 1: team Durant's looking up at the clock as soon as

224
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 1: Smart catches the ball three point three seconds left on

225
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 1: the clock. Then Marcus Smart drives in. He obviously Durant

226
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:54,560
Speaker 1: not looking at Tatum whatsoever, Tatum making that back door cut.

227
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 1: Everybody in the world expecting Marcus Smart to shoot that

228
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 1: Claxton flew by him. Pump drive in, And yeah, the

229
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 1: better team winning at the forty seven minute and fifty

230
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:10,079
Speaker 1: nine second mark, just outdueling the Stars, And yeah, you

231
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 1: could give it to Tatum as the MVP, but Marcus

232
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 1: Smart leading that defense that threw Kevin Durant off. Kevin

233
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 1: Durant is the best offensive player in the world, but

234
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:20,679
Speaker 1: he had six turnovers in this game, and he had

235
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 1: just twenty three points, which is not a lot for

236
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 1: him because Marcus Smart and that Celtics defense just threw

237
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 1: him off. How do you get into the best scorer's

238
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 1: head in the world. I think you just make him

239
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 1: think over and over again. So when he turned after

240
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 1: catching balls, you know, in the high post like he

241
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 1: always did, he saw three defenders and sometimes they go

242
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:41,079
Speaker 1: at him and they come back, they go on but

243
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 1: to come back. So they just made him think. And

244
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:47,679
Speaker 1: then Marcus Smart taking a huge charge on Kevin Durant

245
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 1: with three point fifteen left again sort of getting in

246
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 1: his head. And yeah, then obviously making the pass of

247
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:58,079
Speaker 1: the game there towards the end. But yeah, phenomenal team

248
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 1: versus Superstars is just like everybody wanted it. The Celtics

249
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:06,200
Speaker 1: fans got exactly what they wanted. If you just watching this,

250
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 1: I watched it live in a California pizza kitchen, watching

251
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 1: it with some guy. Yeah, watching it with some guys time.

252
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 1: I had to get the game on a TV that

253
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 1: was near my booth, and some guy in my ear

254
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:23,560
Speaker 1: saying the Hawks got screwed on their schedule. They had

255
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:25,560
Speaker 1: to play, they had to play a day game after

256
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 1: just one day off. They just got to get Donovan

257
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 1: Mitchell from the Jazz and they'll be all right. And

258
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 1: I was telling him to shut up while watching this ending. Yeah,

259
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:37,600
Speaker 1: it was just he was just talking Hawks blah blah blah.

260
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:40,439
Speaker 1: But going back and watching this after the fact, knowing that,

261
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 1: you know, Kyrie was giving everybody the crying, you know,

262
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 1: the double fist crying wildpl he was on. He was

263
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 1: inbounding a basketball and he told everybody to shut up.

264
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,080
Speaker 1: He gave him the cry, and then he got the ball,

265
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 1: and then he scored, and he gave him the cry

266
00:12:56,800 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 1: as he went back down. Even pregame, he was knocking

267
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 1: the camera out of the huddle. I mean, he was

268
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 1: so pissed. Postgame in the hallway, somebody told him you

269
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 1: suck and then Kyrie said, quote, suck my ye and

270
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 1: I mean it was like start to finish. If that's Shakespearean,

271
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't think. I don't think Shakespeare

272
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 1: would say such.

273
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 5: A Hamlet and Hamlet he tells somebody to suck his dick.

274
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 1: I remember, Yeah, amazing game. I mean, obviously the game

275
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 1: of the week.

276
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:28,720
Speaker 5: I know it would have been the greatest revenge game

277
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 5: ever if they pull out the victory. Trey but yeah,

278
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 5: even Tatum, I think said with the Marcus Smart where

279
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 5: everybody thinks he's shooting that three uh, including two NETS

280
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,080
Speaker 5: players that actually like bite on the on the pump

281
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:41,199
Speaker 5: fake if you want to call it that, because I

282
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 5: think he's shooting it. And Tatum said he was just

283
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,079
Speaker 5: crashing the boards because he's like, well, that's going up.

284
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:47,320
Speaker 5: Maybe I'll get an offensive rebound. But then, yeah, what

285
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 5: a play from Smart, what a catch from Tatum would

286
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 5: spin would have finish? Yeah, your thoughts, Trey on On

287
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 5: just it's amazing that the series that everybody had circled

288
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:57,720
Speaker 5: like this is the one. This is the one that

289
00:13:57,800 --> 00:13:59,439
Speaker 5: you have to watch this weekend if you were only

290
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 5: gonna pick it lived up to the hype at least

291
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:02,560
Speaker 5: from through one game.

292
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 3: One hundred percent it did. That's why I got the

293
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 3: ABC slot on a Sunday afternoon.

294
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 1: That was major.

295
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 3: So yeah, I don't know if you give the MVP

296
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:12,320
Speaker 3: to Jason Tatum or if you give it to Marcus Smart.

297
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 3: So give it to both of them. It's a co

298
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 3: MVP for their Game one performance. Just on that last play,

299
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 3: it was it was awesome. I like what Marcus Smart

300
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 3: said after the game. I've always been told that you

301
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 3: have more time than you think, and he definitely did.

302
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:27,960
Speaker 3: I mean, that's why you saw to close out to

303
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 3: him as he pump faked on the three pointer, because

304
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 3: everybody thinks, okay, that's got to be the last second shot.

305
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 3: But he did the poise and the wherewithal the just

306
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 3: hang on to it for a second, you know.

307
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 5: The pump fake was nice.

308
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 3: He could have easily just like kept going, you know,

309
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 3: and probably drawn a follow on that play if you wanted,

310
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 3: but Smart to step through and then to find Jason

311
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 3: Tatum for the quick quick spin. I don't know if

312
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 3: y'all sell the sideline angle, yeah, or the sideline angle.

313
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 3: It's crazy to see how fast Tatum is spinning. But

314
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 3: that's exactly why coaches like to not call a time

315
00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 3: out right because they say you can get a good

316
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 3: shot before the defense gets set. And you could definitely

317
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 3: tell that that was the case with the nets. When

318
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 3: you watch Kevin Durrant, he just doesn't know who to

319
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 3: pick up. There's people running left and right. It's a

320
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 3: scrambling kind of play. You think maybe Jalen Brown is

321
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 3: going to take the shot. He doesn't. You think Smart's

322
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 3: going to take the shot. He doesn't. Eventually it ends

323
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 3: up being Tatum and Kevin Durantz just kind of left

324
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 3: guarding nobody, and that's because the Celtics didn't set up,

325
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 3: didn't give him a chance to get the matchups that

326
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 3: they were looking for. So great stuff from Mudoka to

327
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 3: let the players just play. Great play by Smart to

328
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 3: find Tatum and then the incredible poise to spin that

329
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 3: quickly get it to the rim. First buzzer beating game

330
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 3: winner at home in Celtic's history.

331
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, how's that possible?

332
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 3: Like they've been playing in the playoffs since they invented

333
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 3: the playoffs. But that was really cool to see.

334
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 4: What a game?

335
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 5: Oh my god. Okay, here's two questions for you.

336
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 1: Task.

337
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 5: When does the league come out with the fine for

338
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 5: Kyrie Irving because they don't play till Wednesday, So do

339
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 5: they let everybody breathe here a day and wait till

340
00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 5: tomorrow or hell even game day? And how much is it?

341
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 5: What's he what's he getting digged for? For all the

342
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 5: middle fingers that he was throwing to the Celtics crowd.

343
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 5: What do you think?

344
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 1: Well, enough time for everybody to compile the you know,

345
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 1: the four moments. Yeah, I think there's a middle finger,

346
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 1: even the pushing away of the camera. There's the wag wab,

347
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:19,479
Speaker 1: there's the suck my d So there's a video compilation

348
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:23,880
Speaker 1: and it's probably one hundred K And every time, yeah,

349
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 1: you see Kyrie do something, it's another ding twenty five K.

350
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 1: Ding twenty five K gets up to hundred k K.

351
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 1: Does that legal?

352
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 7: I didn't Well, I don't know.

353
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's against the law.

354
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 5: I think there's a max or something fifty k maybe around.

355
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 7: It was bestly down to whether or not the NBA decides.

356
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 7: They just lumped them all in as one, like, okay,

357
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 7: fifty ks the max we can find you. That's for

358
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 7: everything that that's all encompassing. Or you can eat really

359
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 7: get your money's worth for fifty grand. Or if they

360
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 7: say you did this, that's twenty five grand, you did this,

361
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 7: that's another twenty five. You did this, that's another twenty

362
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 7: five and whatever. Because he was also you know, Patrick

363
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:02,120
Speaker 7: Beverley got fined, I think for profanity in his press conference,

364
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 7: and Kyrie was dropping f bombs and other pretty bad

365
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 7: words himself. There when he was asked by Nick Fredell

366
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:09,560
Speaker 7: about what he was what he was hearing, and what

367
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:11,640
Speaker 7: he was saying. So I think he's going to get

368
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 7: multiple fines here because you know, and look, he's got

369
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:18,359
Speaker 7: a point. I will say this. Kyrie has got a

370
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 7: point where he's saying, these guys can say whatever they

371
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:23,639
Speaker 7: want and there's no no sanctions against the players, against

372
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 7: the fan, excuse me, and we're supposed to just like

373
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:28,240
Speaker 7: cop it all and act docile, and you know, and

374
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 7: he's got a point.

375
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:31,240
Speaker 5: Like he's basically saying, they can say fuck you, Cyrie,

376
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:32,560
Speaker 5: but I can't say fuck you back to it.

377
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:35,639
Speaker 7: And that's that's the thing, and that that's where again

378
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:38,440
Speaker 7: the security within the arena. If people are stepping the line,

379
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:39,680
Speaker 7: and I don't know if they I'm not saying now,

380
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 7: but if they are, then they need to be thrown

381
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 7: out as well, because they can't just unload on him

382
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:45,760
Speaker 7: and expect him to not react at all, because it's

383
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:48,480
Speaker 7: human nature. Someonere just getting in your face the whole time.

384
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:50,439
Speaker 7: You're going to react whether you're on a bus.

385
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:53,399
Speaker 5: But well, hold only when ten thousand people are chanting

386
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 5: f you know, And that's where it's that that's where it's.

387
00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:58,399
Speaker 7: Difficult to point out one guy and said he he

388
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 7: said fuck you, and this guy said you you know,

389
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:02,480
Speaker 7: so does that get you thrown out? Saying you suck?

390
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 7: Of course not, you know, and.

391
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 1: You know you're below average. I don't like you. I

392
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 1: think the referees, you know how they put out videos

393
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:13,080
Speaker 1: of saying, oh, Trey Young is flopping on this play.

394
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:16,080
Speaker 1: That's that's an offensive foul. They should put out a

395
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 1: video of all the things Kyrie said why he was fined.

396
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:20,720
Speaker 1: That would be great, that would be a really enjoyable

397
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 1: watch on Twitter.

398
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:24,640
Speaker 7: But anyway, he's getting obviously he's getting a healthy old

399
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:26,480
Speaker 7: fine there. I think it's probably going to be the

400
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 7: fifty grand and you know that's probably about right, you know,

401
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:32,879
Speaker 7: because the only one weird part was Kyrie saying, you know,

402
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 7: I want to look him in the eye and see

403
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:36,199
Speaker 7: if they're about it, and they said no yet he

404
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 7: was looking out the other way while giving them the other.

405
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:43,919
Speaker 5: Figure from the double birds behind them two hand reverse fingers. Yeah, awesome,

406
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 5: he should.

407
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 3: If he's fine seventy five thousand dollars, he should get

408
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 3: twenty five back for the double fingers behind the head

409
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 3: because that one was actually cool.

410
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:52,360
Speaker 1: I thought I thought that was.

411
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 3: A hilarious way to talk trash to fans, like you're

412
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 3: eleven years old or something.

413
00:18:57,880 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 5: So yeah, well, wait to see what the league decide.

414
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:03,560
Speaker 5: It's on the the total cost, it's going to afford cost.

415
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:05,399
Speaker 5: The excuse me Kyrie for the f all of the

416
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 5: stuff he was doing in that game, but man, he

417
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:10,000
Speaker 5: was He almost won them the game, which is the

418
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:13,359
Speaker 5: miraculous part there, that takeover in the fourth and even

419
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:15,800
Speaker 5: like you guys were saying that the Durant three, I

420
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:18,239
Speaker 5: think it was Yulie, you know where Tatum was up

421
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:20,359
Speaker 5: on him, made a tough deep three and he misses.

422
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 5: But that, like that was off of the Kyrie dribbling, dribbling,

423
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 5: dribbling and just couldn't get anywhere, like they were shutting

424
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:26,480
Speaker 5: it down.

425
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:28,120
Speaker 1: He had a he kind of had a shot when

426
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:31,320
Speaker 1: he went to suck Marcus. Yeah, a little bit, he

427
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:34,639
Speaker 1: had a He had it, but I guess I don't know.

428
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 1: I guess he was setting up KD because he did,

429
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:38,840
Speaker 1: or maybe he was burning as much clock as possible,

430
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:41,119
Speaker 1: which is quite off in a mistake, But yeah, he

431
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:42,920
Speaker 1: had it a little earlier in the shock he had

432
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 1: space and he would have hit that.

433
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:47,879
Speaker 7: I thought it did really good. Yeah, helped that he

434
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:49,680
Speaker 7: came over with the old man moving his legs and

435
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:52,199
Speaker 7: making tough for k and then it did go out

436
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:54,560
Speaker 7: to to tighten. But just one more thing on Titu

437
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 7: Durant directly. He only hit one shot directly, now, Shum

438
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 7: and I know Schuman's often in the stream team in

439
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:03,280
Speaker 7: NBA stats this morning, the Buck Scurse says he too.

440
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 7: He didn't it was only one. So I go and

441
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:08,320
Speaker 7: correct that teams because Titum was was incredible and the

442
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:10,040
Speaker 7: only one he got was a no screen off Nick

443
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 7: Clackson that freed up the ramp for that little mid

444
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:14,360
Speaker 7: range at So Titum was brilliant.

445
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 5: Okay, task any other MVPs in the East that you

446
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:21,480
Speaker 5: know deserves some recognition here.

447
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 1: I think I think we could fly to the next question.

448
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 1: We got so much to get to.

449
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean that's the thing. Like I put together

450
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:30,399
Speaker 5: like a quick list, and I'm sure we're going to

451
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:32,919
Speaker 5: touch on these players in the series. But like I

452
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:34,879
Speaker 5: had Tatum on the list, actually a Kyrie on the

453
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:38,680
Speaker 5: list for when he nearly pulled off Tyris Maxi, Duncan

454
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 5: Robinson and Brook Lopez I thought was pretty big in

455
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 5: the Bucks victory there against the Bulls. But yeah, let's

456
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 5: go to the next question. Eastern Conference playoffs only most

457
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:52,680
Speaker 5: disappointing performance. So you know, Tass, this can be team

458
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:54,399
Speaker 5: or it can be individual, wherever you want to go.

459
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 1: What do you think, Well, it's the Toronto Raptors. Unfortunate

460
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:03,639
Speaker 1: as a team. They came in a lot of expectations,

461
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 1: a lot of people picking the Raps as the underdog

462
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 1: against the Sixers, a lot of people saying during the

463
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:10,480
Speaker 1: regular season, myself included, this is not the kind of

464
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 1: team you want to play in the postseason, and they

465
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:14,879
Speaker 1: just weren't anywhere close to that team. They were just

466
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 1: a step slow, defensively, super slow. They just didn't look

467
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 1: like a team that went out and got after it.

468
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:25,560
Speaker 1: Really the first six Er score, you can see Tyrese

469
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 1: Maxi coming around a screen up top at the three

470
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:30,879
Speaker 1: point lane, three point line, way up top, and he

471
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 1: is able to just mosey on into the lane, get

472
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:36,280
Speaker 1: both feet and the paint. I think he was surprised

473
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:38,720
Speaker 1: how open he was, and he hit a floater and

474
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 1: then he got a steal close to his own three

475
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:43,639
Speaker 1: point line and beat two Raptors down the floor. I

476
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:47,399
Speaker 1: know he's fast, but the fact that two guys in

477
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:49,879
Speaker 1: Siakam and Gary Trent kind of let him go past him.

478
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 1: And then his next shot was an off balance three,

479
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:54,439
Speaker 1: so he saw two balls go in, and then that

480
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:57,160
Speaker 1: third shot, even if it wasn't a great shot at

481
00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:01,119
Speaker 1: win in because he had a good flow go And

482
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:04,960
Speaker 1: it just shows you in the postseason, every possession freakin matters.

483
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:09,119
Speaker 1: It really does, because the Sixers got so confident. Even

484
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 1: you saw like Fred van Vliet touching the back of

485
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:15,199
Speaker 1: I think it was Maxi on that first possession and

486
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:17,440
Speaker 1: getting a foul and then all of a sudden, Fred

487
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:21,200
Speaker 1: van Vliet isn't aggressive. The fact is this Raptors team

488
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:25,240
Speaker 1: looked in the regular season like no one would just

489
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 1: go through them. Defensively, they're always scrambling, they're always moving.

490
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 1: But the Sixers out random. They had twenty nine fast

491
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 1: break points on only eight turnovers. So eight turnovers and

492
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:37,440
Speaker 1: fast break points at twenty nine, that just means they're

493
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:40,399
Speaker 1: out running them after grabbing a defensive board. It was

494
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 1: ridiculous in terms of the Raps defense, and I get

495
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 1: a part of it. I'm sure it was watching Embat

496
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 1: and Harden and maybe being a little too focused on

497
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:51,840
Speaker 1: those dudes. So Maxi went off with thirty eight points

498
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:53,800
Speaker 1: and Tobias Harris went off at twenty six points. But

499
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 1: I just think they have to be scrambling more. They

500
00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:59,920
Speaker 1: just started badly in this game, and yeah, this could

501
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:05,200
Speaker 1: be a start of just a downward trajectory. It's gonna

502
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 1: be a slippery slope with all the injuries that they

503
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:10,680
Speaker 1: sustained in Game one. So it's it's an unfortunate start.

504
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:12,920
Speaker 1: And that's why I know in the regular season first

505
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 1: quarter doesn't really matter, but in the playoffs it does

506
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:19,080
Speaker 1: because everybody starts to get going. Tyre's Max. He can't

507
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:21,399
Speaker 1: score thirty eight points. He just can't. And I know

508
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:23,360
Speaker 1: people will say, oh, and they did a good job

509
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:27,400
Speaker 1: on Embead and hard in five of fifteen, six of seventeen, Yeah,

510
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:30,119
Speaker 1: I guess, but they were just slow getting out to

511
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:33,199
Speaker 1: everybody else. They just they just weren't in it. You know.

512
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:35,160
Speaker 1: It was just a game where they just weren't ready

513
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 1: to play most of them anyways. Yeah, Scottie Barnes awesome,

514
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 1: the rest of them not amazing.

515
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:42,560
Speaker 5: And yeah, they're gonna be probably missing some guys tonight

516
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:45,159
Speaker 5: here for game two. They got the Saturday and then

517
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:47,640
Speaker 5: Monday schedule here for one and two of their series.

518
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:51,480
Speaker 5: Scottie Barnes, doubtful because of the sprained ankle Gary Trent Junior.

519
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:55,159
Speaker 5: Doubtful because of some illness that he has and that

520
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:59,120
Speaker 5: he's young. Doubtful because of his thumb hyper extension there

521
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:00,640
Speaker 5: in his left hand when he saw went down there.

522
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:03,359
Speaker 5: So yeah, they got their asses handed to them and

523
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:05,199
Speaker 5: may not have the best player in that game that

524
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:06,920
Speaker 5: they had. Like you said, Scottie Barnes, I agree with you.

525
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:09,120
Speaker 5: Their task and then some other key pieces there being

526
00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:11,320
Speaker 5: one starter at Gary tan Junior who could hit a three,

527
00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:13,199
Speaker 5: couldn't hit a shot two for eleven overall, but they

528
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:16,199
Speaker 5: needed shooting. Try anything to add to that series or

529
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:18,600
Speaker 5: anyone else that was disappointing for you. In the East,

530
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:19,960
Speaker 5: I thought.

531
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 3: It was disappointed. I think the Raptors have to be

532
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 3: the most disappointing in the Eastern Conference for the first weekend.

533
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:26,760
Speaker 3: The Hawks, you know, they got smashed, but it was

534
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:30,640
Speaker 3: kind of a schedule loss, and honestly, that's the way

535
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:32,600
Speaker 3: it should be. If you win your way into the

536
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:34,760
Speaker 3: play in tournament, you should have to play a really,

537
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 3: really hard first round game against the one seed. That

538
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:39,119
Speaker 3: kind of makes it even for the one seed not

539
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:41,919
Speaker 3: finding out their team until you know, Friday night. But

540
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:44,919
Speaker 3: seeing the Raptors get out raptored by the Sixers was

541
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 3: pretty surprising to me. Only three turnovers for Philadelphia like

542
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:51,480
Speaker 3: task is saying eight for the Raptors, and Philadelphia was

543
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 3: the team that was fast breaking all night, which I

544
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:56,919
Speaker 3: thought was pretty surprising. It looked kind of like the

545
00:24:56,960 --> 00:25:00,200
Speaker 3: first month of the season Raptors, where the offense is okay,

546
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:02,920
Speaker 3: but the defense just couldn't get a stop. And now,

547
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:06,320
Speaker 3: after seeing the way Embiid stepped on Scotty Barnes's ankle

548
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:08,800
Speaker 3: and foot, you almost feel a little bit like it's

549
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:11,000
Speaker 3: a blessing in disguise that it wasn't a worse injury,

550
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:13,440
Speaker 3: you know, just because it seemed like a lot of

551
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:16,879
Speaker 3: Embiid's weight came down on a very awkward angle on

552
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:19,359
Speaker 3: Scotty Barnes's foot there. But it's gonna be tough for

553
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 3: the Raptors now, but I also think they can be

554
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:25,200
Speaker 3: a lot better. Seemed to be a pretty vanilla game

555
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:27,879
Speaker 3: plan for Nick Nurse in Game one, so he's gonna

556
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:30,760
Speaker 3: have to get extra exotic starting in game two. They

557
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:34,840
Speaker 3: got to figure out a way to stop Maxi and Harris, Like,

558
00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:37,600
Speaker 3: you can't let all of the role players go off

559
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:39,960
Speaker 3: in this series. You're already worried about Embiid, you're certainly

560
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:41,920
Speaker 3: worried about Harden as well. So to see thirty eight

561
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 3: from Maxi, that was really the difference there, especially considering

562
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:47,960
Speaker 3: Harris played well alongside him there.

563
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:50,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, and you know, to counter what you were saying,

564
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 5: test some people saying, well, Imbiid didn't do a lot,

565
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:55,840
Speaker 5: they did a good job on him. I don't think

566
00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:58,439
Speaker 5: they did. Did you have a single turnover? I mean,

567
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 5: he played incredible and the Raptors were not you know,

568
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 5: they weren't rushing him. He was ready for it. He

569
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:07,240
Speaker 5: was making either the hockey assist or the straight up assist,

570
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 5: and that won't cut it. I mean they have to

571
00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 5: like get under his skin and get him sped up,

572
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 5: and maybe he's ready for it. Purely was in game one,

573
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:17,280
Speaker 5: so I thought he was great. And then Harden. Yeah,

574
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:20,360
Speaker 5: twenty two and fourteen two, and those were like their

575
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 5: second and third best players, maybe even third and fourth

576
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:24,639
Speaker 5: best players. With the way Maxy and Harris scored, so

577
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 5: Raptors have a hill to climb here, but it's nothing

578
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 5: new when it comes to the Raps in game one,

579
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 5: So we'll see if they bounce back tonight. Despite the injuries,

580
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:36,920
Speaker 5: Lee anyone else that disappointed you, players or teams wise

581
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:37,679
Speaker 5: in the East.

582
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:39,720
Speaker 7: No, I mean I think the other games went as planned.

583
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 7: I mean, Chicago actually did a fantastic job in that

584
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:44,359
Speaker 7: third quarter to get the lead. I was like, whoa,

585
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:46,560
Speaker 7: my god, what's gonna happen if the Bulls pull off

586
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:49,200
Speaker 7: this upset here. But in the end, the Bucks hang

587
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:52,000
Speaker 7: on and get the victory as they should, and of

588
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:53,959
Speaker 7: course the Miami hate Yeah, they would have gone in

589
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 7: heavy favorites there. But it was a very clinical performance

590
00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:58,919
Speaker 7: as well. I mean, you know, Eric Spolstra knows, and

591
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:01,359
Speaker 7: his postgame presser was pretty interesting. He was just like,

592
00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:03,800
Speaker 7: we know what Trey can do, and they shut him down.

593
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:06,199
Speaker 7: And the Hawks they're not going to play the excuse

594
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:08,199
Speaker 7: card of the travel and you know, not getting any

595
00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:10,119
Speaker 7: time to rest because you're in the playoffs and you

596
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:12,680
Speaker 7: just have to be ready. John Collins came back. Capella

597
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:15,679
Speaker 7: is likely out for at least another game here, possibly longer,

598
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:19,160
Speaker 7: so they missed him. But the Heat defensively, I mean,

599
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:21,920
Speaker 7: we talked about it Yesterday's Skeet's like, ah my god,

600
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:24,240
Speaker 7: what a difference it is facing the Miami Heat versus

601
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 7: the Charlotte Hornets or even the Cavs there for the Hawks,

602
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:30,360
Speaker 7: because those traps on Trey Young were just so solid

603
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 7: and basically he couldn't get past them, couldn't. I think

604
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:35,640
Speaker 7: you finished one for twelve and oh for seven from downtown. Now, fatigue,

605
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:37,920
Speaker 7: there's no question there's some sort of a factor there.

606
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:40,600
Speaker 7: But that defense as well is the primary reason. It

607
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:42,160
Speaker 7: was just like my god, where's he going to get

608
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:44,679
Speaker 7: his offense from? But the Hawks can probably put this

609
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:46,919
Speaker 7: one away and just go okay, let's get better, and

610
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:49,200
Speaker 7: hopefully they are better in Game two, because I thought

611
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 7: in that first quarter, despite everything, they were close enough.

612
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:54,240
Speaker 7: They just had to play that for four quarters and

613
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:56,840
Speaker 7: they weren't able to. So I don't think the series

614
00:27:56,880 --> 00:28:00,080
Speaker 7: is over yet, but certainly the Hawks need to be

615
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 7: a much better in Game two and figure out a

616
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:04,560
Speaker 7: way for Tray to get going. And if you can

617
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:06,880
Speaker 7: do that, because I think offensively they've got some good

618
00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:09,040
Speaker 7: fire pal there Atlanta, they're going to give themselves a

619
00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:10,920
Speaker 7: better chance, but you can't afford to fall down twenty

620
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:13,400
Speaker 7: and Duncan Robinson, he's had a pretty bad season by

621
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:16,359
Speaker 7: his standards. Eight to nine off the bench. Just throw

622
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:19,120
Speaker 7: the ball the hoop and that was huge. Twenty seven

623
00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:21,920
Speaker 7: points for him, so very very impressive. First up by

624
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:22,600
Speaker 7: the Heat.

625
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:27,080
Speaker 5: Okay, next question here at Eastern Conference? Which series prediction

626
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:30,400
Speaker 5: do you want back? Trey? Of your four East series predictions?

627
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:33,160
Speaker 5: Which one you're like, Oh, I might like a mulligan.

628
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 5: I'd like to change that a little bit. What do

629
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:35,120
Speaker 5: you think?

630
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:38,240
Speaker 3: Well, I'm not sure if balls and six is gonna

631
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:39,120
Speaker 3: come true anymore.

632
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 1: Skeets took a major.

633
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:44,040
Speaker 3: Hit last night because the Bulls could not steal that

634
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:47,520
Speaker 3: game one. This was more competitive than people thought, especially

635
00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:50,400
Speaker 3: after you know, the first half of the first quarter.

636
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:53,600
Speaker 3: I think Giannis checked out after seven minutes, nine points

637
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:56,280
Speaker 3: and seven rebounds, and it looked like it was gonna

638
00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:58,000
Speaker 3: be over. But shout out to the Balls. They stayed

639
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 3: competitive last night, and they did it with defense. To

640
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:03,320
Speaker 3: be quite honest, I said in the previews their recipe

641
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:05,960
Speaker 3: for getting any sort of win in this series against

642
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:08,880
Speaker 3: the Bucks is limiting three pointers and then Demarta Rosan

643
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:11,080
Speaker 3: out shooting the Bucks in the fourth quarter. Half of

644
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:15,360
Speaker 3: it came true yesterday, a very nineties game, low scores

645
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:18,880
Speaker 3: ninety three to eighty six, lots of post ups, lots

646
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 3: of bricking jumpers. The Bucks shot forty percent from the field,

647
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:25,400
Speaker 3: twenty six percent from three, and they won because the

648
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:29,280
Speaker 3: Bulls shot thirty two percent nineteen percent from three. The

649
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:32,520
Speaker 3: big stat you're hearing in Bulls circles is that the

650
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:35,960
Speaker 3: Bulls Big three shot twenty one of seventy one last

651
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:40,880
Speaker 3: night for sixty combined points. I hesitate to include Big Vucci.

652
00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:44,080
Speaker 3: He had twenty four points on nine of twenty seven shooting.

653
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:45,880
Speaker 3: But Skeets, I'm telling you it was a good nine

654
00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:46,960
Speaker 3: of twenty seven.

655
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:47,760
Speaker 5: Really good.

656
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:51,040
Speaker 3: He did joink a putback with fifty seconds left.

657
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:52,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, what a cut.

658
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:53,800
Speaker 5: The lead to one.

659
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 7: Isach Wiiannis was off as well, because I know he

660
00:29:56,560 --> 00:30:01,240
Speaker 7: took Yeah, yes, fALS like I guess he was just

661
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:04,080
Speaker 7: trying to buy a possession or two their bootenholes and.

662
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:05,920
Speaker 3: She took him off for a minute.

663
00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:09,320
Speaker 7: Wow, what I mean, that's the thing he htes that

664
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 7: the bull Let's say the Bulls pull it off. It's like, wow,

665
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:14,480
Speaker 7: what were you doing bootenholes a bet. He gambled and

666
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:17,240
Speaker 7: it turned out in the end safe, but man, how close.

667
00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:21,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, Booch was the best of the big three for Chicago.

668
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:24,760
Speaker 3: DeRozan those six of twenty five lavine six of nineteen

669
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:28,560
Speaker 3: honestly major Toronto vibes. In that DeMar game, the jumpers

670
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:30,720
Speaker 3: were just rimmy out. He was getting to his spots,

671
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:33,959
Speaker 3: pump faking. The foul calls were not the same as

672
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:36,120
Speaker 3: they were in the regular season. As we have seen,

673
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:37,920
Speaker 3: he needs to be the best player in the fourth

674
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 3: quarter if the Bulls are gonna win, and he just

675
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 3: wasn't game was there for the taking. Though Janis Janis

676
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:46,400
Speaker 3: was dominant when he played twenty seven points plus nineteen.

677
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:49,440
Speaker 3: The Bulls have no answer for him, obviously. But you

678
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:52,560
Speaker 3: know that was ridiculous to me. There was that foul

679
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:55,000
Speaker 3: call Jannis clearly over the back. I mean, that was

680
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:58,400
Speaker 3: Jest's foul, no doubt about him. Yeah, yeah, I mean

681
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:00,800
Speaker 3: that was That's like the definition of it. Over the

682
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:04,719
Speaker 3: back call. But the foul call went against Patrick Williams.

683
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 3: But Mike Budenholzer is just an honorable man. Took him

684
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:11,280
Speaker 3: out anyways, to spend out for a minute anyways, with

685
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:15,440
Speaker 3: with the Bucks up by three points, but maybe the

686
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:18,440
Speaker 3: Bulls maybe that was the kryptonite there, because then it

687
00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:20,680
Speaker 3: became brook Lopez just being the biggest guy out there,

688
00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:23,960
Speaker 3: and that was the difference. You know, Voch missed the putback,

689
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:27,880
Speaker 3: Levine just uncorked a thirty footer. I guess the Bulls

690
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:29,680
Speaker 3: needed a three. But he was not shooting the ball

691
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:31,959
Speaker 3: well last night. But that's the one you steal if

692
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:35,600
Speaker 3: you're the Bulls. Drew Holliday six for sixteen, Middleton four

693
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:38,320
Speaker 3: for thirteen. That's a dual bad Ferris wheel right there.

694
00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:40,440
Speaker 3: So tough one to lose, no doubt.

695
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 5: Yeah it was there. Brook Lopez was huge down the stretch.

696
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:45,120
Speaker 5: He had like the two No, he may have missed

697
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:47,280
Speaker 5: free throw, but the two and ones like those like

698
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:49,920
Speaker 5: berylin hook shots that he hits that he chucks up

699
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:51,760
Speaker 5: there and they dropped. He got the foul call and

700
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:54,160
Speaker 5: then he had I swear it was a wedgie. He

701
00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:55,959
Speaker 5: tipped in Tasks. I don't know if you saw this,

702
00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:57,800
Speaker 5: it was like, of course it wasn't called the wedge.

703
00:31:57,840 --> 00:31:59,640
Speaker 5: He played didn't stop, but the ball looked like it

704
00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:03,960
Speaker 5: got stuck. Even eagle, I believe sort of noted it

705
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:06,360
Speaker 5: out on the broadcast and then Brooke just tipped it

706
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:08,760
Speaker 5: up before they could call the wedgie and it went in.

707
00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:11,360
Speaker 5: He was huge. But what do you think of the

708
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:14,400
Speaker 5: Bulls blowing their chance to really make it like a

709
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:17,080
Speaker 5: really fascinating series if they steal game one, but just

710
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:18,680
Speaker 5: coming up short because it sure seemed to be there

711
00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:19,240
Speaker 5: for the taking.

712
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was having flashbacks to last year. Remember Miami

713
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:26,640
Speaker 1: Milwaukee that first game of round one that was the

714
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:29,280
Speaker 1: ugliest game in the history of mankind if you remember

715
00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 1: Jimmy Butler four of twenty two. In that game looked

716
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:34,000
Speaker 1: like the Bucks were just trying to give it away

717
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:39,280
Speaker 1: and they somehow won in overtime. And that's. Yeah, the

718
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:41,760
Speaker 1: most horrible sign for the Bulls is that they lose

719
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:43,840
Speaker 1: the Bucks in this game, because the Bucks just get

720
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:46,480
Speaker 1: better as series goes on. Last year, Round one they

721
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:48,960
Speaker 1: should have lost that game, and then round two against

722
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:51,360
Speaker 1: the Nets they lost game one. Round three against the

723
00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:53,240
Speaker 1: Hawks they lost game one, and then the finals they

724
00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:56,160
Speaker 1: lost game one. So it's a very bad OMEN. Yeah,

725
00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:58,000
Speaker 1: very bad OMEN, because, yeah, I think they're going to

726
00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:01,920
Speaker 1: get better. I was, you know, watching this game, thinking

727
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:06,560
Speaker 1: Janni's isn't getting the superstar calls that fourth foul where

728
00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:09,440
Speaker 1: he you know, quote unquote sealed Alex Caruso up by

729
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:11,800
Speaker 1: the elbow to call him for that, like, you know,

730
00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:14,440
Speaker 1: twenty feet away from the bucket, a little surprising to me.

731
00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:16,600
Speaker 1: Then they gave him a charge call in that fifth one,

732
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:18,320
Speaker 1: and maybe it was a makeup call not giving him

733
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:20,800
Speaker 1: that sixth foul, But yeah, the Bulls in the driver's

734
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:22,760
Speaker 1: seat to win this thing with and with Zack Lavine

735
00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:24,720
Speaker 1: on the bench for a good chunk of that fourth

736
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:26,560
Speaker 1: quarter because he was in foul trouble. I thought it

737
00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:29,600
Speaker 1: was easy DeMar time and to Mario won for six

738
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:32,760
Speaker 1: and in the fourth. Yeah, it feels like good night,

739
00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:34,720
Speaker 1: I read. If you can't win that game, win Yeah.

740
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:37,360
Speaker 1: The Bucks are Yeah, they're slow starters in series. That's

741
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:39,880
Speaker 1: how they won the ship. So I think it's out.

742
00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:42,960
Speaker 1: It's it's a horrendous start for the Bulls. And yeah,

743
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:45,760
Speaker 1: the Vucci one, Yeah, as he said after the game,

744
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:47,560
Speaker 1: it would have made it. Yeah, one point game there

745
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:50,360
Speaker 1: fifty seconds left. He saw it going in before it

746
00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:53,240
Speaker 1: left his fingertips. Was one of those you know, he

747
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:56,560
Speaker 1: already he was already gone. He was already going the

748
00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:59,240
Speaker 1: other way down the floor, so that that hurt, that really,

749
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:00,600
Speaker 1: really really really hurt.

750
00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:03,520
Speaker 5: Did you see his body language after he missed that, Bunny?

751
00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:06,760
Speaker 5: He literally just stood there. I was like, hello, darkness,

752
00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:09,200
Speaker 5: my old friend. You can hear it playing in his head.

753
00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:12,440
Speaker 5: It's like, how did I blow that? Any thoughts on

754
00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:15,800
Speaker 5: that game or any other takeaways from the Eastern Conference

755
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:17,680
Speaker 5: for series scheme ones, No.

756
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:20,799
Speaker 7: I mean, I'm glad the Bulls might class. I hope

757
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:25,479
Speaker 7: they can't extend the series. Be good to see. But yeah,

758
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:29,799
Speaker 7: that's all really I meant hate look good Celtics and

759
00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:31,360
Speaker 7: NETS has lift up to it. I hope we do

760
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:33,600
Speaker 7: get seven games, even though it picked the Celtics in five.

761
00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:35,640
Speaker 7: I'd love to see seven games of these two because

762
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:36,840
Speaker 7: be awesome.

763
00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:42,560
Speaker 1: Okay, I hate the Hawks excuse though. Okay, so it's

764
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:44,640
Speaker 1: just it's just a great narrative. You know that you

765
00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:46,759
Speaker 1: can play. So if the Heat came out slow in

766
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:48,719
Speaker 1: the first quarter, which they didn't, you can say, oh,

767
00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:51,920
Speaker 1: they're rusty, which you could say about the Memphis Grizzlies

768
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:54,279
Speaker 1: that we'll get to. But I mean, the fact is

769
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:58,600
Speaker 1: the Heat defense is just ridiculously good. They just they

770
00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:01,719
Speaker 1: know they've got eSPI defense. They know where everyone is

771
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:05,040
Speaker 1: at all times, like the coverage on Trey. The pick

772
00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:08,600
Speaker 1: comes for him and then they switch, but they trust

773
00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:11,279
Speaker 1: their defenders because the switch is fine. But the guy

774
00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:14,360
Speaker 1: doesn't leave. He's just he's just there lurking. He's not doubling,

775
00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:17,600
Speaker 1: he's just there trade dribbles and he's like his original

776
00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:19,879
Speaker 1: defender kind of shows gets back to his man. It's

777
00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:21,920
Speaker 1: it's like what happened with Durant and the Celtics. They

778
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:24,319
Speaker 1: just made him think now or Durant and Trey are

779
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:26,640
Speaker 1: gonna be back for Game two. But I think the

780
00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:29,160
Speaker 1: Heat you could easily just flip it if they start bad.

781
00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:33,480
Speaker 1: But they freaking routed the Hawks in the first quarter,

782
00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:36,000
Speaker 1: so they just why didn't they win the first quarter

783
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:39,040
Speaker 1: if they were fresher and they played thirty six hours before.

784
00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:41,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I think that's bogus. I think the Heat

785
00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:44,000
Speaker 1: just yeah, they ran him out the gym playoff. Lowry

786
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:48,920
Speaker 1: looks real. Everybody on that team looks real. As if

787
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:51,480
Speaker 1: the Hawks win a couple games, especially with John Collins

788
00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:53,560
Speaker 1: coming in and out of the lineup and Clink Upella

789
00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:56,759
Speaker 1: out that I think it would be an accomplishment. They

790
00:35:56,760 --> 00:35:59,680
Speaker 1: if they take it to six, the Heat are showing

791
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:02,319
Speaker 1: that they're the best defense in the East right now. Uh,

792
00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:05,280
Speaker 1: you know, even even above the Bucks or the Sixers

793
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:07,120
Speaker 1: or the Reps. They've they've got it together.

794
00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:08,840
Speaker 5: And Lee, do you want to change your raptors in

795
00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:09,560
Speaker 5: five prediction?

796
00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:10,000
Speaker 1: Uh?

797
00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:11,840
Speaker 5: I forgot to ask you when we got to that question.

798
00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:14,799
Speaker 5: Are you stating with it? It's still it's still live.

799
00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:17,680
Speaker 7: I don't like it is well, while it's still alive,

800
00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:20,040
Speaker 7: I don't like the mileigan I just saw. Scottie Barnes

801
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:22,920
Speaker 7: is officially out though tonight. No update on the other guys,

802
00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:25,080
Speaker 7: so it's going to be tough. But also, you know,

803
00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:27,360
Speaker 7: a few people trying to message me saying, oh you

804
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:30,239
Speaker 7: repped is going to devoil the Sixers. They still could

805
00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:31,959
Speaker 7: they still?

806
00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:35,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, now everybody else getting a taste of what it's

807
00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:36,640
Speaker 5: like to argue with you.

808
00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:39,680
Speaker 7: It's a little doubt, but that's play. We'll see what

809
00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:40,280
Speaker 7: happens tonight.

810
00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:43,279
Speaker 5: Okay, all right, we will see. Okay, let's take our

811
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:45,799
Speaker 5: first break and when we come back, we'll get into

812
00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:50,640
Speaker 5: the Western Conference game once. All right, before we get

813
00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:53,399
Speaker 5: into the Western Conference playoffs, here, I wanted to give

814
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:57,440
Speaker 5: you guys a quick update on our guy Jared running

815
00:36:57,440 --> 00:37:01,880
Speaker 5: the Boston Marathon right now. Okay, gun went off around

816
00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:04,600
Speaker 5: I believe, well, he was probably a little bit after.

817
00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:06,719
Speaker 5: He wasn't part of the elite running group. But you know,

818
00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:08,880
Speaker 5: they start this thing around ten. So he goes after that,

819
00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:13,719
Speaker 5: he's five k in. Okay, twenty one minutes. It's off

820
00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:17,040
Speaker 5: to a hot start, lately, expected time to finish right now.

821
00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:19,000
Speaker 5: It's very very early, of course in the marathon. But

822
00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:23,040
Speaker 5: three hours and three minutes. So there you go. Love tracking,

823
00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:25,200
Speaker 5: really fun to track see him on the map there.

824
00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:27,279
Speaker 5: How he's doing. Oh he's at a water station. So

825
00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:30,400
Speaker 5: good luck to Jared and everybody else running the Boston

826
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:31,880
Speaker 5: Marathon today. Very very jealous.

827
00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:34,520
Speaker 1: Awesome. Yeah, that's a late start. Ten eight, Yeah, it is,

828
00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:35,200
Speaker 1: isn't it.

829
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:37,399
Speaker 5: It is for marathons. That's the thing they do there

830
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:39,080
Speaker 5: in Boston. It's a great point. I think a big

831
00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:40,160
Speaker 5: part of it is they got to get a lot

832
00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:44,800
Speaker 5: of people from Boston to what is it Hop Hopkinson

833
00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:46,600
Speaker 5: or whatever the heck The place is where you start

834
00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:48,399
Speaker 5: because you know, you know, it's not within the same

835
00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:51,520
Speaker 5: city really, you're running from one spot to another. But yeah,

836
00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:55,239
Speaker 5: he's thirteen percent done. Is Boston Marathon. It's got a

837
00:37:55,239 --> 00:37:55,799
Speaker 5: long way to go?

838
00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:58,440
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, yeah, because usually I see marathon ers and

839
00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:02,759
Speaker 1: they're up at taking the pre pre marathon photos at

840
00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:05,720
Speaker 1: like three forty five, ready to go, ready to bounce,

841
00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:08,319
Speaker 1: have my Starbucks by I here we go, and then

842
00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:12,759
Speaker 1: boom ten o'clock. Good, let's go, Jared, I.

843
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:15,160
Speaker 5: Love the Boston ten start because I hate those seven

844
00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:18,760
Speaker 5: o'clock marathon starts because like, I'm a routine man at times,

845
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:21,200
Speaker 5: and I gotta take a dump at like five in

846
00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:24,560
Speaker 5: the morning. Suddenly it's like, oh my god, I don't

847
00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:26,239
Speaker 5: want to try and force a dump out at five

848
00:38:26,239 --> 00:38:28,759
Speaker 5: in the morning. It's not fun. No, all right, So

849
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:32,640
Speaker 5: Western Conference a little too much. Okay, someone was tuning

850
00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:35,080
Speaker 5: out there listening to something else. Anyway, Okay, Western Conference

851
00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:38,359
Speaker 5: Playoffs Game one MVP tasks, Where are you going?

852
00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:43,320
Speaker 1: I'm going with the Warriors co MVPs. I'm going this

853
00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:45,520
Speaker 1: route because if you want to be a championship team,

854
00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:47,560
Speaker 1: you need more than one MVP. I'm gonna go with

855
00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:50,200
Speaker 1: an offensive guy in Jordan Poole and a defensive guy

856
00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:52,839
Speaker 1: in Draymond Green. Start with Jordan Poole, because this guy

857
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:55,640
Speaker 1: is a story this season, a guy a lot of

858
00:38:55,640 --> 00:38:57,960
Speaker 1: people called a ball hog for his first couple of

859
00:38:58,040 --> 00:39:01,400
Speaker 1: years of his career. Here in year three, he's become

860
00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:03,640
Speaker 1: the team's starting point guard. Why's a MVP? While he

861
00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:07,400
Speaker 1: had thirty points on thirteen shots. Thirteen shots, thirty points.

862
00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:09,680
Speaker 1: But also Steph Curry came back in this game, and

863
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:12,440
Speaker 1: he was allowed to come back off the bench because

864
00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:14,520
Speaker 1: Pool has been that great, so you allow Steph to

865
00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:19,239
Speaker 1: just come along slowly. They win this game clearly, with

866
00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:22,560
Speaker 1: Steph Curry hitting his first basket a minute fourteen left

867
00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:27,640
Speaker 1: in the second quarter. So that's phenomenal stuff. And Pool

868
00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:30,240
Speaker 1: was not a ballhog in this game. Clay and Curry

869
00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:34,240
Speaker 1: shot more than him. You could expect him to shoot

870
00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:38,200
Speaker 1: more than that. You wouldn't you be upset if he

871
00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:41,839
Speaker 1: did being their starting point guard. But he is part

872
00:39:41,880 --> 00:39:44,520
Speaker 1: of an offense that is just moving. So I think

873
00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:46,840
Speaker 1: this weekend we saw a lot of bigs dominate in

874
00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:50,359
Speaker 1: the NBA, but this Warriors team is, you know, it's

875
00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:53,399
Speaker 1: a true staph team. Everybody movement. I thought the moving

876
00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:57,400
Speaker 1: on this team, the off ball screens opening up their shooters,

877
00:39:57,480 --> 00:39:59,720
Speaker 1: it just looked like the Warriors up to their old tricks.

878
00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:02,560
Speaker 1: It makes everybody look like a superstar, makes some really

879
00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:04,399
Speaker 1: really tough to guard. So they blew the Nuggets out

880
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:08,440
Speaker 1: with Curry scoring sixteen points thirty three assists on forty

881
00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:11,279
Speaker 1: three field goals. So kudos to Jordan Poole. The guy

882
00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:14,320
Speaker 1: has come a long way. And I don't know if

883
00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:18,040
Speaker 1: Steve Kerr knows what his lineups are going to be

884
00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:23,319
Speaker 1: as the lass the playoffs progress, but he's got some good,

885
00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:26,600
Speaker 1: good options, especially with Peake. Draymond Green, he knows when

886
00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:30,080
Speaker 1: the postseason gun goes. He's in the Boston Marathon ready

887
00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:32,000
Speaker 1: to go because he's on the offensive side of the ball.

888
00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:36,879
Speaker 1: He's sprinting into his screens, sprinting into those dribble handoffs.

889
00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:39,760
Speaker 1: He looked like athletic as hell. He had nine assists

890
00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:42,960
Speaker 1: in this one, setting guys up. Yeah, he just looked

891
00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:45,239
Speaker 1: like his old ways, even on the offensive. And I'll

892
00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:46,880
Speaker 1: get to the defense in a sec. But you know,

893
00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:50,400
Speaker 1: Draymond Green misses some threes. Oh he missed one. Where's

894
00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:53,799
Speaker 1: getting offensive rebound? Bring it back to Dre and he

895
00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:57,600
Speaker 1: could easily shoot it, but he fired to Steph on

896
00:40:57,640 --> 00:41:00,239
Speaker 1: the three point line. Who hit a three. And I

897
00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:03,480
Speaker 1: mentioned those unassisted field goals, you know, not a lot

898
00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:05,600
Speaker 1: of them for the Warriors. Draymond Green had one. He

899
00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:07,960
Speaker 1: lined up Jokic and buried a three in his eye.

900
00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:09,960
Speaker 1: That's how good he was feeling. He knows when the

901
00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:13,200
Speaker 1: postseason starts, and he did a wonderful job on Nicole Jokic.

902
00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:16,680
Speaker 1: They start Kevon Looney on Jokich and they're guarding him

903
00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:19,879
Speaker 1: one on one, and they don't wear Draymond Green down

904
00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:23,480
Speaker 1: to you know, put him on him for forty eight minutes,

905
00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:25,520
Speaker 1: but they bring him, you know, on him later in

906
00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:28,160
Speaker 1: the game, and it's it's gonna be tough for Yokic.

907
00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:31,120
Speaker 1: I think Jokich will, you know, he'll he'll battle through

908
00:41:31,120 --> 00:41:33,560
Speaker 1: and have a better game too. But it's gonna be

909
00:41:33,640 --> 00:41:36,160
Speaker 1: tough going through those guys, and it helps, obviously the

910
00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:39,640
Speaker 1: Warriors stay home on everybody else. Jokich had twenty five

911
00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:43,920
Speaker 1: shots and only two free throws attempt attempted. That's kind

912
00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:46,520
Speaker 1: of hard to do in the NBA. It happens like

913
00:41:46,719 --> 00:41:50,440
Speaker 1: three times a postseason over the last decade, but usually

914
00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:53,360
Speaker 1: by perimeter players. I like that stat from Mike forkanoff

915
00:41:53,400 --> 00:41:56,320
Speaker 1: because it just shows how well the Warriors were guarding.

916
00:41:56,920 --> 00:42:00,359
Speaker 1: I did Jokic in general, and the Nuggets you know,

917
00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:02,960
Speaker 1: as a collective. So the Warriors looked great, you know,

918
00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:06,400
Speaker 1: beside the Suns in the Western Conference in a row.

919
00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:09,200
Speaker 1: This was also you know, the other route in the

920
00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:12,080
Speaker 1: Western Conference, and a lot of the season it looked

921
00:42:12,120 --> 00:42:13,719
Speaker 1: like the Sons and Warriors were the two best teams,

922
00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:15,440
Speaker 1: and this weekend it sort of looked like that too.

923
00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:18,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's for sure. What about Ulie, anybody else get

924
00:42:18,680 --> 00:42:21,080
Speaker 5: a game one MVP vaulte from you in the Western

925
00:42:21,120 --> 00:42:21,680
Speaker 5: Conference players?

926
00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:22,040
Speaker 2: Well?

927
00:42:22,080 --> 00:42:24,760
Speaker 7: Also going with co MVPs Anthony Edwards and Karl Anthony

928
00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:27,600
Speaker 7: town So I thought they were really really impressive. Edwards

929
00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:30,200
Speaker 7: especially thirty six points in his first ever playoff game.

930
00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:32,840
Speaker 7: But I think bigger picture from this, I'm probably going

931
00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:35,400
Speaker 7: to go with Towns over him slightly because he really

932
00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:39,400
Speaker 7: made Steven Adams look redundant in that game. Steven Adams,

933
00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:42,400
Speaker 7: big guy, big strong guy. Karl Anthony town spread him

934
00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:44,000
Speaker 7: out a couple of times, took it inside as well

935
00:42:44,040 --> 00:42:46,480
Speaker 7: and dominated him. And you just have to wonder exactly

936
00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:49,319
Speaker 7: how Taylor Jenkins is going to move going forward here

937
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:51,840
Speaker 7: because Steven Adams has been a very important part of

938
00:42:51,840 --> 00:42:54,239
Speaker 7: the Grizzly success this season defensively and then on the

939
00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:56,960
Speaker 7: offensive rebounds as well, you know, keeping balls alive. But

940
00:42:57,160 --> 00:42:59,879
Speaker 7: he did nothing in this game. And Carl Anthony town

941
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:02,919
Speaker 7: I mean hitting threes, taking it inside, had a huge

942
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:04,719
Speaker 7: dunk there as well. It was a close game. It

943
00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:06,040
Speaker 7: was a fun game. This is going to be a

944
00:43:06,040 --> 00:43:08,040
Speaker 7: fun series. I think this one could go the distance.

945
00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:11,160
Speaker 7: But Karl Anthony Towns should be the best player really

946
00:43:11,239 --> 00:43:13,360
Speaker 7: in the series, and I think he showed that in

947
00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:15,479
Speaker 7: Game one. If they get that sort of production though

948
00:43:15,640 --> 00:43:18,520
Speaker 7: out of Anthony Edwards as well in every game, you know,

949
00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:20,759
Speaker 7: the Wolves could easily win it. I think that they

950
00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:22,919
Speaker 7: were very, very impressive. It was a close game still,

951
00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:24,920
Speaker 7: and you know, you know, you expect the Grizzlies to

952
00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:27,600
Speaker 7: bounce back. Jar Moran didn't have a great game. He

953
00:43:27,640 --> 00:43:29,880
Speaker 7: got to the free throw line a ton. Jaron Jackson

954
00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:32,000
Speaker 7: was in foul trouble there for him. Desm Baine, who's

955
00:43:32,040 --> 00:43:34,399
Speaker 7: been really important didn't have a great game as well.

956
00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:37,080
Speaker 7: So there's things that are going to change. But I

957
00:43:37,120 --> 00:43:40,040
Speaker 7: just think for the Minnesota Timberwolves this you know they're

958
00:43:40,080 --> 00:43:42,040
Speaker 7: coming in as the number seven seed against the number

959
00:43:42,080 --> 00:43:44,840
Speaker 7: two seed that just hasn't been in a position like

960
00:43:44,920 --> 00:43:47,919
Speaker 7: this before, so I think they're somewhat vulnerable. And if

961
00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:51,560
Speaker 7: Towns plays the way that he did going on, you

962
00:43:51,560 --> 00:43:54,080
Speaker 7: know throughout this series, the Wolve's going to have to

963
00:43:54,080 --> 00:43:56,239
Speaker 7: feel pretty good. So that was great. I thought that

964
00:43:56,280 --> 00:43:58,040
Speaker 7: was a really good first game as well. We saw

965
00:43:58,120 --> 00:44:00,799
Speaker 7: between those two teams. I'm excited for how the series goes.

966
00:44:01,080 --> 00:44:03,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm fascinated to see what Taylor Jenkins does with

967
00:44:03,600 --> 00:44:08,040
Speaker 5: Steven Adams, Like does he start Okay, he very likely

968
00:44:08,080 --> 00:44:10,239
Speaker 5: starts him for Game two. I would be shocked if

969
00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:13,239
Speaker 5: he doesn't do that, but just like, does he pull

970
00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:16,520
Speaker 5: him quickly if it's backfiring again because the matchup doesn't

971
00:44:16,520 --> 00:44:19,400
Speaker 5: look great and you know, is it someone like Clark

972
00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:21,759
Speaker 5: on him? Do you feel a little bit better with

973
00:44:21,960 --> 00:44:24,200
Speaker 5: Jaron Jackson Junior? For sure you could, but he always

974
00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:27,080
Speaker 5: gets into foul trouble, So there's that issue. You know,

975
00:44:27,160 --> 00:44:30,680
Speaker 5: maybe even even the Kyle Anderson, does Tillman get dusted off?

976
00:44:30,680 --> 00:44:33,520
Speaker 5: We'll see, but I'm fascinated to see that. What about you,

977
00:44:33,600 --> 00:44:36,799
Speaker 5: Trey thoughts on those guys there, the four guys that

978
00:44:36,800 --> 00:44:39,000
Speaker 5: these guys are throwing out for co MVPs in the

979
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:40,840
Speaker 5: Warriors win and the Wolves wind or anybody else in

980
00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:41,200
Speaker 5: the West.

981
00:44:41,520 --> 00:44:45,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've actually got the the Grizzlies front court as

982
00:44:45,320 --> 00:44:49,640
Speaker 3: my most disappointing performers of the entire Western Conference weekend,

983
00:44:49,800 --> 00:44:52,560
Speaker 3: just because you know, Steven Adams kind of looked unplayable.

984
00:44:52,600 --> 00:44:54,520
Speaker 3: You're right, Skates, he might get a bit of a start,

985
00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:58,520
Speaker 3: bit of a ceremonial Keith Bogan's, but Clark was obviously

986
00:44:58,560 --> 00:45:01,560
Speaker 3: the better option for the in Game one against Karl

987
00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:06,200
Speaker 3: Anthony Towns, because if Adams isn't able to punish the

988
00:45:06,239 --> 00:45:08,200
Speaker 3: Timberwolves on the glass, there's basically no reason to have

989
00:45:08,239 --> 00:45:10,160
Speaker 3: him out there. Towns was just pump faking and driving

990
00:45:10,239 --> 00:45:13,080
Speaker 3: by in the entire night, So that'll be interesting to see.

991
00:45:13,239 --> 00:45:16,400
Speaker 3: Jared Jackson Junior, you would think would be the choice

992
00:45:17,040 --> 00:45:19,680
Speaker 3: for Taylor Jenkins, but he just files a ton seven

993
00:45:19,719 --> 00:45:21,440
Speaker 3: blocks is great, but he was also in foul trouble

994
00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:23,839
Speaker 3: all night long and didn't make any three pointers, which

995
00:45:23,880 --> 00:45:26,040
Speaker 3: is something the Grizzlies are definitely gonna need. As Jaron

996
00:45:26,120 --> 00:45:28,680
Speaker 3: Jackson Junior hitting some threes, a couple more I would

997
00:45:28,719 --> 00:45:31,360
Speaker 3: throw in for a potential Game one MVP, Chris Paul's

998
00:45:31,360 --> 00:45:33,080
Speaker 3: got to be in the mix. Nineteen points in the

999
00:45:33,120 --> 00:45:36,040
Speaker 3: fourth quarter last night against the Pelicans, seven of eight

1000
00:45:36,080 --> 00:45:36,680
Speaker 3: from the field.

1001
00:45:37,160 --> 00:45:39,480
Speaker 5: I don't know if he scored and assisted.

1002
00:45:39,080 --> 00:45:41,520
Speaker 3: On every point in the fourth quarter, but it definitely

1003
00:45:41,520 --> 00:45:44,120
Speaker 3: felt like it felt like a nice uh nice to

1004
00:45:44,120 --> 00:45:46,680
Speaker 3: see Chris Paul back after, you know, a week of

1005
00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:49,399
Speaker 3: no Suns games. It looked like the Pelicans were gonna

1006
00:45:49,400 --> 00:45:50,560
Speaker 3: be able to make a nice run, but you just

1007
00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:52,440
Speaker 3: knew going into the fourth quarter it was gonna be

1008
00:45:52,440 --> 00:45:54,839
Speaker 3: Phoenix Sun's time. And when it's Phoenix Sun's time, it's

1009
00:45:54,880 --> 00:45:56,600
Speaker 3: kind of Chris Paul times. So I would throw him

1010
00:45:56,600 --> 00:45:59,480
Speaker 3: in the mix for Game one MVP and Rudy Gobert

1011
00:45:59,480 --> 00:46:01,800
Speaker 3: I would also throwing the mix for a Game one MVP.

1012
00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:06,400
Speaker 3: Seventeen rebounds, just five points in the win against the Mavericks.

1013
00:46:06,400 --> 00:46:10,480
Speaker 3: He took one shot, but he was dominant defensively, no

1014
00:46:10,560 --> 00:46:13,359
Speaker 3: doubt about it. Just passing the ball, like, he's got

1015
00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:16,560
Speaker 3: to have more than one shot in an entire playoff game.

1016
00:46:16,680 --> 00:46:18,919
Speaker 3: Just throw an alley oop up there so he can

1017
00:46:19,239 --> 00:46:22,360
Speaker 3: hit it against the rim or something. Because he was

1018
00:46:22,360 --> 00:46:24,640
Speaker 3: playing his ass off defensively and He's the reason the

1019
00:46:24,719 --> 00:46:27,200
Speaker 3: Jazz won that game, a ninety nine to ninety three victory.

1020
00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:31,920
Speaker 3: A weird game for sure, but one shot. Ass On

1021
00:46:31,960 --> 00:46:34,959
Speaker 3: Whiteside got more shots than Rudy Gobert did. Like, there's

1022
00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:36,920
Speaker 3: gotta be a way to get this man some shots.

1023
00:46:37,200 --> 00:46:39,360
Speaker 3: The defense is gonna be there, though, I thought Gobert

1024
00:46:39,400 --> 00:46:40,600
Speaker 3: was excellent in game one.

1025
00:46:40,719 --> 00:46:42,799
Speaker 5: Yeah, love all those picks that you guys are throwing

1026
00:46:42,840 --> 00:46:44,319
Speaker 5: out there. I guess if I had to just like

1027
00:46:44,640 --> 00:46:47,440
Speaker 5: zero in on one maybe two, I would piggyback on

1028
00:46:47,480 --> 00:46:49,439
Speaker 5: the Chris Paul which that game gets a little lost

1029
00:46:49,480 --> 00:46:53,000
Speaker 5: because it's the last game after eight games, really ten

1030
00:46:53,040 --> 00:46:55,000
Speaker 5: games if you're counting Friday night there on the weekend,

1031
00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:57,960
Speaker 5: the two playing games. But yeah, I have the stats

1032
00:46:58,000 --> 00:47:00,200
Speaker 5: for you, Trey. He scored or assisted on twenty three

1033
00:47:00,239 --> 00:47:02,280
Speaker 5: of the suns thirty one points in the fourth quarter,

1034
00:47:02,800 --> 00:47:06,000
Speaker 5: and there was a little moment there. It's a bit

1035
00:47:06,040 --> 00:47:08,920
Speaker 5: of a game. Pelicans are in this and then CP

1036
00:47:09,080 --> 00:47:12,520
Speaker 5: three scored seventeen points in a five minute stretch to

1037
00:47:12,640 --> 00:47:15,880
Speaker 5: just completely crush the Pelicans come back. The Sons were

1038
00:47:15,960 --> 00:47:17,600
Speaker 5: up seven and we got a Chris Paul three, a

1039
00:47:17,680 --> 00:47:20,479
Speaker 5: Chris Paul assist, a Chris Paul three, a Chris Paul three,

1040
00:47:20,640 --> 00:47:23,840
Speaker 5: Chris Paul layup, Chris Paul jumper, game over, and a

1041
00:47:23,840 --> 00:47:27,680
Speaker 5: lot of that was the Pells deciding to like go

1042
00:47:27,760 --> 00:47:31,279
Speaker 5: under the pick and roll, and then it was Chris

1043
00:47:31,280 --> 00:47:33,160
Speaker 5: Paul with a lot of room and Larry Nants on

1044
00:47:33,200 --> 00:47:34,960
Speaker 5: him and it was like, we're gonna make you pay.

1045
00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:36,880
Speaker 5: So he was awesome. And then back to the Wolves,

1046
00:47:37,520 --> 00:47:42,600
Speaker 5: Anthony Edwards was a monster. Thirty six points, played forty

1047
00:47:42,640 --> 00:47:45,960
Speaker 5: minutes in two games. Now in the postseason, he appears

1048
00:47:45,960 --> 00:47:48,200
Speaker 5: to be a superstar. So that's a game changer for

1049
00:47:48,280 --> 00:47:50,360
Speaker 5: the Wolves moving forward here. If he is going to

1050
00:47:50,400 --> 00:47:53,560
Speaker 5: play like an all NBA type guard, then holy crap,

1051
00:47:53,680 --> 00:47:56,640
Speaker 5: they could go and pull off this upset. We'll see

1052
00:47:56,640 --> 00:48:00,440
Speaker 5: if it continues. But I thought Anthony edwards defense pass

1053
00:48:00,719 --> 00:48:02,800
Speaker 5: was like some of the best I've ever seen him play,

1054
00:48:02,880 --> 00:48:07,239
Speaker 5: Like engaged, blowing up pick and rolls, deflections, ripped it

1055
00:48:07,280 --> 00:48:09,200
Speaker 5: from Adams at one point under the rim. I think

1056
00:48:09,239 --> 00:48:11,560
Speaker 5: the box score says he finished with one steal in

1057
00:48:11,600 --> 00:48:14,560
Speaker 5: two blocks, but the thirty six points we know he

1058
00:48:14,600 --> 00:48:16,040
Speaker 5: can do that. I want to see him do that

1059
00:48:16,080 --> 00:48:20,200
Speaker 5: defensively with his athleticism and obviously his youth. And he

1060
00:48:20,280 --> 00:48:22,200
Speaker 5: did that. I thought I thought he did. I thought

1061
00:48:22,200 --> 00:48:24,160
Speaker 5: there was glimpses of it in the play in and

1062
00:48:24,200 --> 00:48:26,000
Speaker 5: then I really brought it in Game one. I'm not

1063
00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:26,640
Speaker 5: sure if he saw the.

1064
00:48:26,640 --> 00:48:30,400
Speaker 1: Same, oh for sure. And that's what Wolves fans have

1065
00:48:30,480 --> 00:48:33,160
Speaker 1: been saying all season. They see a guy who looks

1066
00:48:33,239 --> 00:48:36,960
Speaker 1: like a linebacker out there when you approach him as

1067
00:48:37,160 --> 00:48:39,400
Speaker 1: an offensive player. If he wants to get after it,

1068
00:48:39,480 --> 00:48:41,719
Speaker 1: he can, and he does at times. And yeah, he

1069
00:48:41,960 --> 00:48:44,640
Speaker 1: definitely showed in the plane at six six. I think

1070
00:48:44,640 --> 00:48:48,120
Speaker 1: he's more important than Patrick Beverley at times on John Morant,

1071
00:48:48,239 --> 00:48:52,560
Speaker 1: because Morant's gonna blow by everybody on the perimeter, but

1072
00:48:52,719 --> 00:48:57,120
Speaker 1: Anthony Edwards gonna embody, yeah, John Morant, and so there's

1073
00:48:57,239 --> 00:49:00,640
Speaker 1: there's not much he can do with jaw. But yeah,

1074
00:49:00,640 --> 00:49:04,800
Speaker 1: this is this is how they win if Anthony Edwards

1075
00:49:04,800 --> 00:49:07,879
Speaker 1: plays like he can. Right now, he's playing like he's

1076
00:49:07,920 --> 00:49:10,120
Speaker 1: the best player in this series. So it'd be tough

1077
00:49:10,160 --> 00:49:14,759
Speaker 1: to say that the Wolves aren't kind of upset if

1078
00:49:14,760 --> 00:49:16,600
Speaker 1: this guy plays like that, then yeah, this is the

1079
00:49:16,600 --> 00:49:20,200
Speaker 1: Wolves with the composure down the stretch there, they look

1080
00:49:20,280 --> 00:49:25,279
Speaker 1: Boston Celtics like coming down the stretch with taking their

1081
00:49:25,400 --> 00:49:28,120
Speaker 1: time and making sure it got into the right hands.

1082
00:49:28,400 --> 00:49:31,920
Speaker 1: So the Wolves were super, super impressive this weekend.

1083
00:49:32,280 --> 00:49:34,919
Speaker 5: Lee just to go back to disappointing performances. Trey talked

1084
00:49:34,920 --> 00:49:37,560
Speaker 5: about Adams and really the grizzly sort of front line

1085
00:49:37,600 --> 00:49:39,440
Speaker 5: not showing up for Game one there against the Wolves.

1086
00:49:39,440 --> 00:49:41,960
Speaker 5: Is there anyone else that would get a vote from

1087
00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:42,400
Speaker 5: you for that?

1088
00:49:43,480 --> 00:49:43,600
Speaker 1: Uh?

1089
00:49:44,120 --> 00:49:46,799
Speaker 7: Well, I mean I think the other games kind of

1090
00:49:46,840 --> 00:49:49,120
Speaker 7: went to plan, you know. I think if you look

1091
00:49:49,160 --> 00:49:52,120
Speaker 7: at like the Mavericks and the Jazz series, you know,

1092
00:49:52,160 --> 00:49:54,160
Speaker 7: the Jazz should win game one, they should win Game

1093
00:49:54,160 --> 00:49:56,319
Speaker 7: two tonight as well. Luka, Doncic will not play in

1094
00:49:56,320 --> 00:49:58,600
Speaker 7: that game as well, So you know, the Jazz have

1095
00:49:58,760 --> 00:50:02,080
Speaker 7: to really cash in on this credible advantage they have Doncic.

1096
00:50:02,280 --> 00:50:04,440
Speaker 7: You know, possibly we don't see him at all. Who

1097
00:50:04,520 --> 00:50:06,600
Speaker 7: knows exactly what's going on with that cuff, But the

1098
00:50:06,680 --> 00:50:08,680
Speaker 7: Jazz really have to make the most of it. But they,

1099
00:50:08,840 --> 00:50:10,600
Speaker 7: you know, made it a little tough for themselves there,

1100
00:50:10,600 --> 00:50:13,759
Speaker 7: MAXI Kleeber hits a three late and maybe it's a

1101
00:50:13,760 --> 00:50:16,080
Speaker 7: different end of this ball game, but instead the Jazz survived.

1102
00:50:16,080 --> 00:50:19,560
Speaker 7: So disappointing. I mean, Utah did what they were supposed

1103
00:50:19,560 --> 00:50:21,799
Speaker 7: to do. But I would like to have liked it

1104
00:50:21,840 --> 00:50:24,399
Speaker 7: to have been perhaps just a little more comfortable for.

1105
00:50:24,320 --> 00:50:27,920
Speaker 5: Them tasks anyone else, be a team or individual performance

1106
00:50:27,920 --> 00:50:29,440
Speaker 5: that disappointed you from the West.

1107
00:50:29,400 --> 00:50:31,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think the MAVs are a little bulls like

1108
00:50:31,880 --> 00:50:34,040
Speaker 1: that was the game to steal. They should have won

1109
00:50:34,120 --> 00:50:36,919
Speaker 1: that game. I think Jalen Brunson was disappointing. He missed

1110
00:50:36,920 --> 00:50:39,840
Speaker 1: so many bunnies. Who's nine of twenty four without Luca.

1111
00:50:40,239 --> 00:50:43,400
Speaker 1: They're so reliant on him and Dinwitty to some degree,

1112
00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:45,560
Speaker 1: but Brunston's got to be their number one game and

1113
00:50:45,560 --> 00:50:47,480
Speaker 1: he was thrust it into that role. I think, you know,

1114
00:50:47,560 --> 00:50:49,840
Speaker 1: they put him into a lot of the same action

1115
00:50:49,960 --> 00:50:53,480
Speaker 1: as what Luca gets played, and he just he just missed.

1116
00:50:53,880 --> 00:50:56,680
Speaker 1: He missed shots that he could easily make. They also

1117
00:50:56,719 --> 00:51:00,480
Speaker 1: missed a bunch of free throws, and you know, Dinwiddy said,

1118
00:51:00,520 --> 00:51:02,399
Speaker 1: you know we lost by five. I missed six free

1119
00:51:02,440 --> 00:51:05,560
Speaker 1: throws or whatever it was that he struggled, and the

1120
00:51:05,600 --> 00:51:08,799
Speaker 1: MAVs bench couldn't support at all. They made only three

1121
00:51:08,840 --> 00:51:11,719
Speaker 1: field goals Josh Green the Azzi zero for four from

1122
00:51:11,760 --> 00:51:14,320
Speaker 1: three and they just looked off. He hits one or

1123
00:51:14,360 --> 00:51:17,920
Speaker 1: two of those. This could be a very very different game.

1124
00:51:18,600 --> 00:51:22,480
Speaker 1: That was, yeah, a very odd, you know, ugly start.

1125
00:51:22,520 --> 00:51:25,120
Speaker 1: I think to the weekend for the MAVs just because

1126
00:51:26,520 --> 00:51:28,319
Speaker 1: they should have won that. They should have stolen that,

1127
00:51:28,400 --> 00:51:31,240
Speaker 1: and Jalen Brunson and Spencer did but I'm sure kicking themselves.

1128
00:51:31,280 --> 00:51:33,839
Speaker 1: But I don't know. It's weird because the Jazz didn't

1129
00:51:33,840 --> 00:51:38,359
Speaker 1: play a great game beside Gobert, beside boy On. They

1130
00:51:39,040 --> 00:51:41,600
Speaker 1: won a game where Donovan Mitchell shot ten to twenty nine,

1131
00:51:41,719 --> 00:51:44,000
Speaker 1: so they got to feel good too. But the MAVs

1132
00:51:44,040 --> 00:51:45,399
Speaker 1: can play so much better as well.

1133
00:51:45,440 --> 00:51:47,359
Speaker 5: All right, let's get to the fun one here. Which

1134
00:51:47,400 --> 00:51:51,360
Speaker 5: Western Conference playoff series? Would you like the mulligan on

1135
00:51:51,680 --> 00:51:53,480
Speaker 5: would you like to walk back maybe a little bit.

1136
00:51:53,480 --> 00:51:55,239
Speaker 5: I'll get to start it. I'm gonna go I had

1137
00:51:55,280 --> 00:51:58,359
Speaker 5: Warriors over Nuggets and six, and I don't think it's

1138
00:51:58,360 --> 00:52:01,040
Speaker 5: gonna go that long, unfortunately, because because of all the

1139
00:52:01,080 --> 00:52:03,120
Speaker 5: things that task talked about with how great they look,

1140
00:52:03,200 --> 00:52:05,480
Speaker 5: Jordan Poole looking like Steph Curry for crying out loud

1141
00:52:05,800 --> 00:52:09,520
Speaker 5: in the dominant victory, the Nuggets playing solid for eighteen

1142
00:52:09,520 --> 00:52:11,440
Speaker 5: minutes of this game, and then just sort of getting

1143
00:52:12,360 --> 00:52:14,839
Speaker 5: killed as it went on Aaron Gordon, you could put

1144
00:52:14,840 --> 00:52:16,480
Speaker 5: you could probably put him on the list of like

1145
00:52:16,520 --> 00:52:20,840
Speaker 5: disappointing individual performances. He missed all three of his threes,

1146
00:52:20,880 --> 00:52:24,080
Speaker 5: finished three at ten. You know, he was he was

1147
00:52:24,560 --> 00:52:26,440
Speaker 5: probably trying to do a little too much and it

1148
00:52:26,480 --> 00:52:29,279
Speaker 5: was a shot was not dropping early. And I just

1149
00:52:29,320 --> 00:52:32,719
Speaker 5: don't think like Jokic, he took twenty five shots. He

1150
00:52:32,760 --> 00:52:35,360
Speaker 5: doesn't really want to, but he's being forced to because

1151
00:52:35,360 --> 00:52:36,640
Speaker 5: he's not going to get a whole lot of other

1152
00:52:36,680 --> 00:52:39,359
Speaker 5: help and they're just staying at home. One defender on him,

1153
00:52:39,640 --> 00:52:42,520
Speaker 5: be it Looney, be at green Billitza did play on him,

1154
00:52:42,560 --> 00:52:45,120
Speaker 5: you know whatever, Wiggins on a switch. They're like, fine,

1155
00:52:45,239 --> 00:52:47,560
Speaker 5: shoot it like post us up, cut in there, do

1156
00:52:47,640 --> 00:52:49,600
Speaker 5: your little dink and dumps, and we're not going to

1157
00:52:49,640 --> 00:52:52,480
Speaker 5: send help, and we don't care. If you finish with

1158
00:52:52,880 --> 00:52:55,160
Speaker 5: thirty to forty points, well we'll take our chances on that.

1159
00:52:55,239 --> 00:52:58,319
Speaker 5: So I would I would tweak my prediction on that.

1160
00:52:58,520 --> 00:53:00,879
Speaker 5: I don't I don't like Warriors, and I don't think

1161
00:53:00,920 --> 00:53:02,560
Speaker 5: the way they looked in Game one that it's gonna

1162
00:53:02,560 --> 00:53:04,719
Speaker 5: go that long. So I guess I'm leaning at a

1163
00:53:05,360 --> 00:53:07,560
Speaker 5: Warriors in five, or you can maybe convince me of

1164
00:53:07,600 --> 00:53:10,920
Speaker 5: a sweep after just one game. What about you, though, Trey,

1165
00:53:10,920 --> 00:53:11,879
Speaker 5: any mulligans you want.

1166
00:53:13,600 --> 00:53:16,080
Speaker 3: I think that the Jazz could sweep the Mavericks. I

1167
00:53:16,120 --> 00:53:19,480
Speaker 3: thought Dinwiddie and Brunson were honestly pretty brutal, and that's

1168
00:53:19,560 --> 00:53:22,080
Speaker 3: kind of the only solution that the Mavericks have until

1169
00:53:22,120 --> 00:53:24,799
Speaker 3: Doncis comes back. So the longer he's out, I would

1170
00:53:24,840 --> 00:53:27,080
Speaker 3: be taking the Jazz in pretty much every game until

1171
00:53:27,239 --> 00:53:29,480
Speaker 3: you know, we see a Mavericks hit twenty three pointers

1172
00:53:29,520 --> 00:53:31,200
Speaker 3: game seems to be the only way that they're beating

1173
00:53:31,239 --> 00:53:34,400
Speaker 3: the Jazz at this point. And I would say a

1174
00:53:34,480 --> 00:53:38,160
Speaker 3: Timberwolves upset over the Grizzlies doesn't seem super unlikely after

1175
00:53:38,200 --> 00:53:41,319
Speaker 3: watching the way that went down. Surely the Grizzlies will

1176
00:53:41,320 --> 00:53:43,560
Speaker 3: be better at defense as this series goes on, But

1177
00:53:43,600 --> 00:53:46,560
Speaker 3: for the Timberwolves to score one hundred and thirty against

1178
00:53:46,600 --> 00:53:48,520
Speaker 3: one of the top five defenses in the league, and

1179
00:53:48,520 --> 00:53:50,640
Speaker 3: now we know that like Steven Adams is not going

1180
00:53:50,680 --> 00:53:52,560
Speaker 3: to be able to play as much in this series

1181
00:53:52,600 --> 00:53:54,200
Speaker 3: as he would in some of these other series. He's

1182
00:53:54,239 --> 00:53:58,160
Speaker 3: a huge part of the defense for the Grizzlies, whereas

1183
00:53:58,320 --> 00:54:01,560
Speaker 3: on offense. I got Jahn Morant going to the rim,

1184
00:54:01,600 --> 00:54:04,239
Speaker 3: and then who knows what else is gonna happen. It

1185
00:54:04,239 --> 00:54:06,520
Speaker 3: feels like there's one guy who could possibly score for

1186
00:54:06,560 --> 00:54:09,120
Speaker 3: Memphis and three who could give.

1187
00:54:09,000 --> 00:54:11,160
Speaker 5: It to you for the timber Wall.

1188
00:54:11,320 --> 00:54:14,480
Speaker 3: So I think I would still probably lean Grizzlies, but

1189
00:54:14,680 --> 00:54:16,480
Speaker 3: it wouldn't surprise me if the Wolves are able to

1190
00:54:16,480 --> 00:54:17,040
Speaker 3: pull this off.

1191
00:54:17,239 --> 00:54:19,279
Speaker 5: All right, I won't even ask Lee because he's not

1192
00:54:19,320 --> 00:54:21,480
Speaker 5: walking back anything. It's only one game. But what about

1193
00:54:21,480 --> 00:54:23,920
Speaker 5: you task maybe one of your serious predictions that have

1194
00:54:24,040 --> 00:54:26,239
Speaker 5: you going I'd like to change that after one game.

1195
00:54:27,160 --> 00:54:30,839
Speaker 1: Well, I've picked the two players that are probably gonna

1196
00:54:30,840 --> 00:54:33,880
Speaker 1: get the most MVP votes in MB and Jokic to

1197
00:54:33,960 --> 00:54:37,399
Speaker 1: be bounced pretty quickly, and I kind of like, even

1198
00:54:37,400 --> 00:54:39,319
Speaker 1: though it's against my raptors, that one of them is

1199
00:54:39,360 --> 00:54:41,960
Speaker 1: going to stay alive. It sure looks like right now

1200
00:54:42,000 --> 00:54:45,240
Speaker 1: like the Sixers are in the driver's seat in that series.

1201
00:54:45,280 --> 00:54:48,000
Speaker 1: Because I just didn't want the MVP chatter on Twitter

1202
00:54:48,040 --> 00:54:49,920
Speaker 1: to go like, oh, these two guys, they'd be p

1203
00:54:50,160 --> 00:54:52,720
Speaker 1: lah blah blah. They're not MVPs. They just go bounced

1204
00:54:52,760 --> 00:54:55,320
Speaker 1: in the first round. So for the sake of Twitter,

1205
00:54:55,400 --> 00:54:57,759
Speaker 1: I kind of like the fact that at least one

1206
00:54:57,800 --> 00:55:01,480
Speaker 1: of these guys. I felt weird saying both would be bounced,

1207
00:55:01,640 --> 00:55:04,719
Speaker 1: and it feels a lot better that one is is

1208
00:55:05,400 --> 00:55:06,280
Speaker 1: going to stick.

1209
00:55:06,040 --> 00:55:10,400
Speaker 5: Around because Jokich is very likely gonna win MVP, and

1210
00:55:10,440 --> 00:55:13,080
Speaker 5: then Embiid will advance and then people are gonna.

1211
00:55:12,840 --> 00:55:17,719
Speaker 1: See yes, I guess yeah, depending well listen, I don't

1212
00:55:17,719 --> 00:55:20,879
Speaker 1: know if is it certain Yokic is gonna win, yes,

1213
00:55:21,040 --> 00:55:23,960
Speaker 1: but we'll see, well, we'll see he is. Yeah, he's

1214
00:55:24,000 --> 00:55:28,160
Speaker 1: got a really tough, tough road here with the way

1215
00:55:28,560 --> 00:55:30,640
Speaker 1: everybody's staying home on the other four guys, it's just

1216
00:55:30,680 --> 00:55:33,279
Speaker 1: they're not doubling them. The Warriors are just they're too

1217
00:55:33,320 --> 00:55:36,440
Speaker 1: solid defensively again the number one defense that gets overlooked

1218
00:55:36,920 --> 00:55:40,479
Speaker 1: with Draymond Green and going the way he's going right now.

1219
00:55:40,560 --> 00:55:42,160
Speaker 1: He played a couple of back to backs at the

1220
00:55:42,239 --> 00:55:44,080
Speaker 1: end of the season to get him warm, and he

1221
00:55:44,160 --> 00:55:46,160
Speaker 1: just looks like a different player out there. So it's

1222
00:55:46,160 --> 00:55:48,520
Speaker 1: that's tough sledding for Yokic, although I expect him to,

1223
00:55:49,080 --> 00:55:51,919
Speaker 1: you know, bash some faces going to the rim and

1224
00:55:51,960 --> 00:55:54,480
Speaker 1: he'll score some points in Game two. But yeah, that

1225
00:55:54,640 --> 00:55:58,720
Speaker 1: the Wolves Grizzlies as well, I picked the Grizzlies in six.

1226
00:55:59,400 --> 00:56:02,120
Speaker 1: They got to get some freaking turnovers because they just

1227
00:56:02,160 --> 00:56:04,719
Speaker 1: don't score in the half court. Going back to the

1228
00:56:04,760 --> 00:56:08,520
Speaker 1: regular season, they're the twenty second offense, the twenty second

1229
00:56:08,520 --> 00:56:11,799
Speaker 1: best offense in just the half court alone. They got

1230
00:56:11,800 --> 00:56:15,120
Speaker 1: there by fast breaks and offensive boards, and Steven Adams

1231
00:56:15,200 --> 00:56:16,840
Speaker 1: is a big part of that, and so that's a

1232
00:56:16,920 --> 00:56:19,440
Speaker 1: tough decision to take him out of there in terms

1233
00:56:19,440 --> 00:56:22,960
Speaker 1: of the offensive rebounds. But the turnovers, they got to

1234
00:56:22,960 --> 00:56:25,320
Speaker 1: do better. They just have to steal more balls. The

1235
00:56:25,360 --> 00:56:27,480
Speaker 1: Wolves turned it only turned it over three times in

1236
00:56:27,520 --> 00:56:30,480
Speaker 1: the second half. They got off to that great start.

1237
00:56:30,520 --> 00:56:32,760
Speaker 1: They had twenty five points in the first six minutes

1238
00:56:32,760 --> 00:56:34,480
Speaker 1: of the first quarter. So there's a lot to clean

1239
00:56:34,560 --> 00:56:36,600
Speaker 1: up for the Grizzlies. They do one of those things,

1240
00:56:36,920 --> 00:56:40,080
Speaker 1: then they feel a lot better if they just slow

1241
00:56:40,120 --> 00:56:43,239
Speaker 1: down the Wolves at least at the beginning and turn

1242
00:56:43,280 --> 00:56:45,080
Speaker 1: them over a little bit. But yeah, we got a

1243
00:56:45,080 --> 00:56:46,040
Speaker 1: great series there.

1244
00:56:46,080 --> 00:56:48,919
Speaker 5: All right, final question here, Lee, anything else you wanted

1245
00:56:48,920 --> 00:56:51,600
Speaker 5: to address any other takeaways from the four Western Conference

1246
00:56:51,640 --> 00:56:52,800
Speaker 5: game ones on the weekend.

1247
00:56:53,320 --> 00:56:56,000
Speaker 7: Well, I guess I'm sort of repeating myself a bit,

1248
00:56:56,040 --> 00:56:58,920
Speaker 7: but it is it's a blow if don't chitch complay

1249
00:56:58,960 --> 00:57:02,560
Speaker 7: at all. They've had a very good second half of

1250
00:57:02,600 --> 00:57:04,640
Speaker 7: the season here. I like them in the matchup. I

1251
00:57:04,640 --> 00:57:06,799
Speaker 7: think we all did. And if we don't get him,

1252
00:57:06,800 --> 00:57:08,719
Speaker 7: I mean, he's been a huge playoff performer in his

1253
00:57:08,840 --> 00:57:11,480
Speaker 7: only two seasons. He's only been in two series, both

1254
00:57:11,480 --> 00:57:13,640
Speaker 7: against the Clippers that were great. He had game winners

1255
00:57:13,800 --> 00:57:16,160
Speaker 7: in his first series and it was thirty average thirty

1256
00:57:16,160 --> 00:57:18,120
Speaker 7: seven points a game last season. And it's just a

1257
00:57:18,160 --> 00:57:19,560
Speaker 7: blow if he can't be there, So.

1258
00:57:19,840 --> 00:57:21,360
Speaker 5: Hold on, it is a blow. But where are we

1259
00:57:21,520 --> 00:57:23,440
Speaker 5: so down on them? I mean, it was a six

1260
00:57:23,480 --> 00:57:26,120
Speaker 5: point game. You certainly three. They may be still, it's

1261
00:57:26,120 --> 00:57:28,640
Speaker 5: not like they got absolutely embarrassed. I think Dinwiddie and

1262
00:57:28,680 --> 00:57:31,160
Speaker 5: Brunson have to play much better. Like Trece said, they

1263
00:57:31,240 --> 00:57:33,120
Speaker 5: got to hit floaters because the floater is going to

1264
00:57:33,200 --> 00:57:35,280
Speaker 5: be there and they need to hit threes. That's part

1265
00:57:35,280 --> 00:57:37,360
Speaker 5: of the recipe. But it's not like I don't know,

1266
00:57:37,480 --> 00:57:38,560
Speaker 5: they just didn't get clowned.

1267
00:57:38,600 --> 00:57:41,640
Speaker 7: I didn't think they didn't get clown. They didn't get

1268
00:57:41,680 --> 00:57:43,600
Speaker 7: clown and that's again, I think the Jazz have to

1269
00:57:43,800 --> 00:57:46,240
Speaker 7: basically clown them. I think they're a much better team

1270
00:57:46,240 --> 00:57:48,520
Speaker 7: at full strength there, and you know, like say, go

1271
00:57:48,640 --> 00:57:51,080
Speaker 7: Bear with one shot dominated this game if they can

1272
00:57:51,120 --> 00:57:54,120
Speaker 7: get him some looks inside and sort of expose the

1273
00:57:54,480 --> 00:57:57,480
Speaker 7: playing small ball of the Mavericks because playing small works

1274
00:57:57,480 --> 00:57:59,760
Speaker 7: when Doncic's out there, but it shouldn't be as effective

1275
00:57:59,760 --> 00:58:01,560
Speaker 7: when he is not there, because Doncic is just such

1276
00:58:01,560 --> 00:58:03,960
Speaker 7: a good player, So it just sucks that he can't play.

1277
00:58:04,080 --> 00:58:06,520
Speaker 7: I mean, that's that's the real thing there. And and

1278
00:58:06,800 --> 00:58:09,120
Speaker 7: the Warrior is nuggets. I think I picked the Warriors

1279
00:58:09,120 --> 00:58:13,520
Speaker 7: in six. Yeah, I think it's probably not going to

1280
00:58:13,600 --> 00:58:16,280
Speaker 7: go that long, but we'll we'll just sort of see

1281
00:58:16,280 --> 00:58:18,600
Speaker 7: how how they respond here and how they rackt what

1282
00:58:18,640 --> 00:58:21,320
Speaker 7: Mike Malone can do to try to steal one there

1283
00:58:21,360 --> 00:58:23,680
Speaker 7: in the bay because they desperately need one if they've

1284
00:58:23,680 --> 00:58:26,080
Speaker 7: got any chance in this series. Otherwise. Yeah, I think

1285
00:58:26,360 --> 00:58:28,120
Speaker 7: Kich is out in the first round, which will be

1286
00:58:28,520 --> 00:58:31,480
Speaker 7: also shitty if he wins the m v P, which

1287
00:58:31,480 --> 00:58:33,520
Speaker 7: he will, I think he will. My pick is Yannis

1288
00:58:34,040 --> 00:58:35,520
Speaker 7: I think is going to win it.

1289
00:58:35,560 --> 00:58:39,560
Speaker 5: So tass any any other thoughts on the West.

1290
00:58:41,320 --> 00:58:45,160
Speaker 1: Well, I'm not good at reading sub tweets, so tell

1291
00:58:45,160 --> 00:58:47,280
Speaker 1: me if this is a subtweet I'm not one hundred

1292
00:58:47,280 --> 00:58:49,800
Speaker 1: percent certain, but tell me if John Morant tweeting took

1293
00:58:49,880 --> 00:58:53,000
Speaker 1: losses because they wanted to see other m f rs win.

1294
00:58:54,120 --> 00:58:57,200
Speaker 1: Is that him saying, first off, I passed the ball lyrics.

1295
00:58:57,240 --> 00:58:58,360
Speaker 5: Do we know if they're lyrics?

1296
00:58:59,000 --> 00:59:01,960
Speaker 1: Well, I don't know. The second that he added a

1297
00:59:02,000 --> 00:59:05,880
Speaker 1: thread tweet which says charge it to the game, So

1298
00:59:06,040 --> 00:59:09,600
Speaker 1: I don't think their lyrics. It seems like he's saying something.

1299
00:59:09,640 --> 00:59:11,120
Speaker 1: He also commented on Chris Paul.

1300
00:59:11,240 --> 00:59:14,520
Speaker 3: He also put up like Michael Jordan from the Last

1301
00:59:14,640 --> 00:59:17,200
Speaker 3: Dance talking about the Hornets talking trash when they were

1302
00:59:17,240 --> 00:59:17,520
Speaker 3: up in.

1303
00:59:17,480 --> 00:59:18,440
Speaker 1: The series clips.

1304
00:59:18,600 --> 00:59:20,840
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, this is must watch.

1305
00:59:21,200 --> 00:59:22,920
Speaker 5: He's just fired himself up here.

1306
00:59:23,000 --> 00:59:26,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, I love Yeah. They If you remember, they

1307
00:59:26,680 --> 00:59:28,680
Speaker 1: won Game one last year against the Jazz, and the

1308
00:59:28,880 --> 00:59:32,080
Speaker 1: Jazz came back with the douchebag sweep four straight. So

1309
00:59:32,160 --> 00:59:36,400
Speaker 1: they they have to benefit from that experience somewhat. They

1310
00:59:36,440 --> 00:59:38,120
Speaker 1: know in they're at that locker room. Yeah we can

1311
00:59:38,160 --> 00:59:39,160
Speaker 1: do this, he can do this.

1312
00:59:40,040 --> 00:59:42,800
Speaker 5: Yeah. There's just a lot of questions with the their

1313
00:59:42,800 --> 00:59:44,960
Speaker 5: front court with Adams and the other part. Again, I

1314
00:59:45,080 --> 00:59:47,560
Speaker 5: hate to bring it up, but the huge difference maker

1315
00:59:47,880 --> 00:59:51,400
Speaker 5: is is this Anthony Edwards in playoffs like this is

1316
00:59:51,520 --> 00:59:53,240
Speaker 5: if I mean it's only two games, I mean the

1317
00:59:53,280 --> 00:59:55,560
Speaker 5: postseason here, the play and and then now. But the

1318
00:59:55,600 --> 00:59:57,720
Speaker 5: guy looks like the best player on the floor with

1319
00:59:57,840 --> 01:00:00,000
Speaker 5: a bunch of other talent he has in these two game.

1320
01:00:00,280 --> 01:00:02,200
Speaker 5: So I mean, if he continues, I don't know, can

1321
01:00:02,200 --> 01:00:04,480
Speaker 5: you keep it up for an entire series. That's a

1322
01:00:04,480 --> 01:00:06,400
Speaker 5: lot to ask from a twenty year old. But maybe

1323
01:00:06,400 --> 01:00:06,800
Speaker 5: he is.

1324
01:00:08,240 --> 01:00:09,400
Speaker 3: Unphased by the moment.

1325
01:00:09,440 --> 01:00:09,680
Speaker 4: I know.

1326
01:00:09,840 --> 01:00:11,919
Speaker 3: The thing to me is like this could be Game

1327
01:00:11,960 --> 01:00:13,840
Speaker 3: seven of the NBA Finals and he's going to be

1328
01:00:13,880 --> 01:00:15,040
Speaker 3: having jokes afterwards.

1329
01:00:15,080 --> 01:00:18,760
Speaker 5: I'm with him, man, Yes, And that's that's a game

1330
01:00:18,840 --> 01:00:21,400
Speaker 5: changer to me in terms of like a series, you know,

1331
01:00:21,520 --> 01:00:23,880
Speaker 5: difference maker. Of course, this guy's like a thirty point

1332
01:00:23,920 --> 01:00:26,320
Speaker 5: guy and doesn't look phazed, not rushing things either. And

1333
01:00:26,320 --> 01:00:27,800
Speaker 5: you know we talked about that Lee w It's like

1334
01:00:28,000 --> 01:00:30,200
Speaker 5: this guy had it going and he was like he

1335
01:00:30,280 --> 01:00:32,360
Speaker 5: wasn't trying to jack up shots and stuff like that.

1336
01:00:32,600 --> 01:00:34,080
Speaker 5: He's still getting all in the rhythm and he was

1337
01:00:34,080 --> 01:00:34,919
Speaker 5: playing defense, I guess.

1338
01:00:35,040 --> 01:00:37,439
Speaker 7: And he's got his post game fits on fire too.

1339
01:00:37,480 --> 01:00:39,800
Speaker 7: With the tied eye there, look looking like a Trey

1340
01:00:39,880 --> 01:00:42,880
Speaker 7: Kirby there and then the massive like initial in the

1341
01:00:43,040 --> 01:00:45,480
Speaker 7: in the gold necklace chain thing he's got there.

1342
01:00:45,520 --> 01:00:46,520
Speaker 5: So he's ready.

1343
01:00:46,520 --> 01:00:48,720
Speaker 7: Man, he's been waiting for the moment in the playoffs

1344
01:00:48,720 --> 01:00:49,920
Speaker 7: and he's delivering everywhere.

1345
01:00:50,360 --> 01:00:52,040
Speaker 5: Okay, well, let's hear from everybody in the street.

1346
01:00:52,120 --> 01:00:54,600
Speaker 3: Hold on. I will say the absolute worst moment of

1347
01:00:54,640 --> 01:00:58,960
Speaker 3: the entire playoffs came in Timberwolves Grizzlies when everybody's sound

1348
01:00:59,040 --> 01:01:04,400
Speaker 3: messed up, just sounded like somebody was sitting on a

1349
01:01:04,400 --> 01:01:08,200
Speaker 3: remote and pressing pause or something for the entire time.

1350
01:01:08,360 --> 01:01:08,880
Speaker 7: That was.

1351
01:01:10,400 --> 01:01:13,360
Speaker 5: Bad, you know what. It's like, this happened to be

1352
01:01:13,640 --> 01:01:17,680
Speaker 5: crazy and the Chevy tracks. Something's gone wrong once before

1353
01:01:17,880 --> 01:01:21,200
Speaker 5: with my uh my iPhone plugged in. We were on

1354
01:01:21,200 --> 01:01:23,520
Speaker 5: a road trip once Nora and I and it suddenly

1355
01:01:23,600 --> 01:01:26,800
Speaker 5: started doing it, but we couldn't turn it off, and

1356
01:01:26,880 --> 01:01:28,760
Speaker 5: I'm like immediately, like I think I got to pull

1357
01:01:28,800 --> 01:01:30,720
Speaker 5: over and we got to like reboot the car or

1358
01:01:30,720 --> 01:01:33,760
Speaker 5: something like that. So it happened once before, and that

1359
01:01:34,120 --> 01:01:36,000
Speaker 5: was no mad may have been the Chevy Cruise. Actually,

1360
01:01:36,000 --> 01:01:36,640
Speaker 5: excuse me.

1361
01:01:37,480 --> 01:01:42,040
Speaker 6: I immediately blamed my kids on that. Who's got the remote?

1362
01:01:42,280 --> 01:01:46,320
Speaker 6: You're sitting on the remote like, everybody's standing.

1363
01:01:46,040 --> 01:01:47,640
Speaker 1: Up and what are you talking about?

1364
01:01:47,720 --> 01:01:52,080
Speaker 6: Man changed the channel and realized, okay, it's yeah.

1365
01:01:52,240 --> 01:01:56,200
Speaker 5: I was, I was like, what's going wrong this? I mean,

1366
01:01:56,240 --> 01:01:58,320
Speaker 5: I will say it still may have sounded better than

1367
01:01:58,320 --> 01:02:01,040
Speaker 5: the guys trying to call the game from l doing

1368
01:02:01,040 --> 01:02:03,520
Speaker 5: the play by play Greene, stephen A and Jylan. I

1369
01:02:03,520 --> 01:02:07,480
Speaker 5: think I would have preferred the weird skipping, ecstatic noise

1370
01:02:07,560 --> 01:02:09,840
Speaker 5: to that. It was mute mode for me, no doubt

1371
01:02:09,840 --> 01:02:12,600
Speaker 5: about it. Yeah, all right, let's hear from the stream

1372
01:02:12,600 --> 01:02:16,080
Speaker 5: team all of those questions, East and West, your MVPs,

1373
01:02:16,120 --> 01:02:19,560
Speaker 5: your biggest disappointments, series, mulligans you'd like to take already,

1374
01:02:19,880 --> 01:02:22,440
Speaker 5: and any other takeaways that you have. We're gonna take

1375
01:02:22,440 --> 01:02:24,160
Speaker 5: one more break when we back, come back, we'll get

1376
01:02:24,200 --> 01:02:27,560
Speaker 5: to tweet of the night. You know who's probably wearing

1377
01:02:27,560 --> 01:02:31,160
Speaker 5: their sacks right now? JD Jared Dent in the Boston

1378
01:02:31,280 --> 01:02:36,040
Speaker 5: Yes on, he just hit the ten K Mark Ballpark

1379
01:02:36,080 --> 01:02:38,680
Speaker 5: about forty two to forty three minutes in. Looks like

1380
01:02:38,720 --> 01:02:40,680
Speaker 5: he's easing into a nice seven minute pace.

1381
01:02:41,120 --> 01:02:45,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, ball's parked firmly in his shorts because of those sacks.

1382
01:02:45,280 --> 01:02:48,960
Speaker 5: Exactly exactly, he's not. Yeah, Yeah, that's right. It's not

1383
01:02:49,080 --> 01:02:51,280
Speaker 5: gonna be because of his underwear that he's gonna come

1384
01:02:51,320 --> 01:02:53,040
Speaker 5: up short if he does, and he's not, but if

1385
01:02:53,040 --> 01:02:55,760
Speaker 5: he does, if heartbreak, he'll get them. It won't be

1386
01:02:55,880 --> 01:02:59,640
Speaker 5: because the boys are jangling around down there. Those are intact.

1387
01:03:00,040 --> 01:03:03,560
Speaker 5: It'll be because of his water intake or something like that. Okay,

1388
01:03:03,680 --> 01:03:06,120
Speaker 5: let's get to tweet of the night.

1389
01:03:08,280 --> 01:03:09,320
Speaker 1: Tweet of the night.

1390
01:03:10,080 --> 01:03:19,400
Speaker 5: Wow, all right, tweet of the night. I've got two

1391
01:03:19,440 --> 01:03:23,280
Speaker 5: of them for you guys. Okay, what's going on here?

1392
01:03:23,320 --> 01:03:24,080
Speaker 5: Why am I muted?

1393
01:03:24,840 --> 01:03:26,680
Speaker 1: What the you're back?

1394
01:03:26,840 --> 01:03:28,680
Speaker 5: I got two tweets of the nights for you? Okay,

1395
01:03:29,400 --> 01:03:30,880
Speaker 5: I'm not sure if you heard that the first time

1396
01:03:32,400 --> 01:03:36,120
Speaker 5: at Terra Nova, Noah has the first one. Love this.

1397
01:03:36,120 --> 01:03:39,680
Speaker 5: This is the worst graphic I've ever seen. Was the tweet,

1398
01:03:40,120 --> 01:03:42,720
Speaker 5: and there's a great photo check us out on YouTube.

1399
01:03:43,200 --> 01:03:46,800
Speaker 5: It is Patrick Beverly checking the sacks underwear on Crunch.

1400
01:03:48,480 --> 01:03:50,760
Speaker 5: The quote is, I guess from Patrick Beverley. People don't

1401
01:03:50,800 --> 01:03:52,560
Speaker 5: like to be touched and I like touching a lot

1402
01:03:52,600 --> 01:03:55,720
Speaker 5: of people. And just this graphic is I mean, clutch points.

1403
01:03:55,760 --> 01:03:57,800
Speaker 5: They always come through in the graphics, but this one's

1404
01:03:58,440 --> 01:04:03,080
Speaker 5: this one's for the Hall of Fame. So yes, that's

1405
01:04:03,120 --> 01:04:05,040
Speaker 5: as simple as that. I don't know if you guys

1406
01:04:05,040 --> 01:04:07,360
Speaker 5: have anything to add to a great graphic there from

1407
01:04:07,360 --> 01:04:08,080
Speaker 5: Clutch Sports.

1408
01:04:09,480 --> 01:04:15,720
Speaker 3: What's the Timberwolves mascot's name, Crunch? I thought, oh, Crunch, nice.

1409
01:04:16,360 --> 01:04:18,720
Speaker 5: Nice, I think. I think you're right.

1410
01:04:18,920 --> 01:04:22,240
Speaker 3: Uh yeah, I guess hopefully his balls are parked in

1411
01:04:22,280 --> 01:04:22,600
Speaker 3: the pouch.

1412
01:04:22,680 --> 01:04:26,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think so. That's always checking. So I love that.

1413
01:04:26,240 --> 01:04:28,520
Speaker 5: But this one we can actually talk about a little bit.

1414
01:04:28,880 --> 01:04:31,280
Speaker 5: We'll give credit to Mark J. Spears, but everybody was

1415
01:04:31,320 --> 01:04:36,640
Speaker 5: sharing it. The NBA Award finalists here they are. So

1416
01:04:36,680 --> 01:04:39,320
Speaker 5: the NBA likes to do this thing where they give

1417
01:04:39,400 --> 01:04:42,720
Speaker 5: us the top three finishers in each category. MVP, it's

1418
01:04:42,760 --> 01:04:47,520
Speaker 5: Giannis Embiid Jokic, Rookie Barnes, Cade and Mobley, sixth man, Hero,

1419
01:04:47,720 --> 01:04:50,720
Speaker 5: Cam Johnson, Kevin Love, Defensive Player of the Year Bridges,

1420
01:04:50,760 --> 01:04:53,440
Speaker 5: who was awesome. Last night on McCallum, Go Bear, we

1421
01:04:53,480 --> 01:04:57,400
Speaker 5: talked about Smart he was great, most improved, Garland, Ja Morant,

1422
01:04:57,520 --> 01:04:59,520
Speaker 5: Jeante Murray, and then Coach of the Year Taylor Jenkins,

1423
01:04:59,560 --> 01:05:02,880
Speaker 5: Spoilster and Monty Williams. I guess the winners of each

1424
01:05:02,920 --> 01:05:05,320
Speaker 5: award are going to be announced during T and t's

1425
01:05:05,360 --> 01:05:08,440
Speaker 5: coverage of the playoffs, So these leally are gonna like

1426
01:05:09,480 --> 01:05:11,680
Speaker 5: maybe I don't know, come every couple of days, we'll

1427
01:05:11,680 --> 01:05:15,320
Speaker 5: actually get the winners announced. But any surprises leave from

1428
01:05:15,480 --> 01:05:18,680
Speaker 5: from the list of finalists any anywhere you're like, WHOA

1429
01:05:18,720 --> 01:05:21,040
Speaker 5: where so and so? Are you're shocked or not? Pretty?

1430
01:05:22,040 --> 01:05:24,120
Speaker 7: I believe. I believe Monty has already been announced. Actually

1431
01:05:24,160 --> 01:05:27,680
Speaker 7: his Coach of the Year. I think I saw that

1432
01:05:27,960 --> 01:05:30,680
Speaker 7: from the coach was Okay, he's probably gonna win this

1433
01:05:30,760 --> 01:05:32,960
Speaker 7: one as well. No, look, it's tough when you when

1434
01:05:33,000 --> 01:05:34,400
Speaker 7: you cut it off in three. I like that though

1435
01:05:34,400 --> 01:05:36,560
Speaker 7: as well. So it's like it's down to these three guys.

1436
01:05:36,640 --> 01:05:39,640
Speaker 7: But for me, defensive play of the Year Jaron Jackson,

1437
01:05:39,640 --> 01:05:42,080
Speaker 7: I thought it should have been in now. No qualms

1438
01:05:42,080 --> 01:05:44,160
Speaker 7: with those other guys are in. They're all great defenders.

1439
01:05:44,440 --> 01:05:47,560
Speaker 7: Rudy's wanted them several times here, Bridges has been great

1440
01:05:47,560 --> 01:05:49,760
Speaker 7: and Smart's also been great. So it was a tough field.

1441
01:05:50,040 --> 01:05:54,000
Speaker 7: But personally, I just think Jackson has been deserving of

1442
01:05:54,040 --> 01:05:55,440
Speaker 7: this award as well, so it's tough for him to

1443
01:05:55,440 --> 01:05:58,520
Speaker 7: miss out. But there was also Humes was getting into

1444
01:05:58,560 --> 01:06:00,360
Speaker 7: it a little bit with a few people Yester' Most

1445
01:06:00,360 --> 01:06:02,800
Speaker 7: Improved and whether or not you Sather have to sort

1446
01:06:02,800 --> 01:06:06,720
Speaker 7: of qualify whether or not the expectations of being a

1447
01:06:06,760 --> 01:06:10,320
Speaker 7: good draft pick means you shouldn't be able to win

1448
01:06:10,440 --> 01:06:12,920
Speaker 7: Most Improved. It was him and Michael Lee going in

1449
01:06:13,160 --> 01:06:14,880
Speaker 7: back and forth a little bit there, so that was

1450
01:06:14,920 --> 01:06:17,520
Speaker 7: quite interesting. But I think Joe Morant is going to

1451
01:06:17,560 --> 01:06:21,520
Speaker 7: ultimately win it because he has improved so much. So yeah, fun,

1452
01:06:21,560 --> 01:06:23,520
Speaker 7: It's always good though. You know everyone's going to get

1453
01:06:23,560 --> 01:06:26,160
Speaker 7: upset no matter who they saw out there, but ultimately

1454
01:06:26,240 --> 01:06:29,240
Speaker 7: I think they got pretty much everyone deserving of an award.

1455
01:06:29,440 --> 01:06:32,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, tass. Any thoughts on these finalists.

1456
01:06:31,520 --> 01:06:35,480
Speaker 1: Year well, I love the fact that John Morant keeps

1457
01:06:35,520 --> 01:06:37,760
Speaker 1: going about for his boy Jared Jackson Junior. He got

1458
01:06:37,800 --> 01:06:40,000
Speaker 1: under twitters and said Jared Jackson Junior led the league

1459
01:06:40,000 --> 01:06:42,160
Speaker 1: in blocks, blocks for a game, in blocks and steals

1460
01:06:42,680 --> 01:06:44,440
Speaker 1: and not on the list for deep HOI what's up

1461
01:06:44,480 --> 01:06:47,680
Speaker 1: with that? Dosman Bend should replace me on the MIP list.

1462
01:06:48,520 --> 01:06:51,440
Speaker 1: But congrats, coach, you deserve that award for Taylor Jenkins.

1463
01:06:51,520 --> 01:06:54,120
Speaker 1: So I love love chipping in there, and I love

1464
01:06:54,160 --> 01:06:57,600
Speaker 1: the way TNT reveals these awards. You know, over the

1465
01:06:57,680 --> 01:07:01,000
Speaker 1: next couple months, if you remember, theyll say, oh, hey,

1466
01:07:01,240 --> 01:07:04,160
Speaker 1: Scotty Barnes, sit down for an interview you just got

1467
01:07:04,160 --> 01:07:07,000
Speaker 1: to have. You're having a one on one here with ESPN.

1468
01:07:07,040 --> 01:07:09,880
Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden his teammates show up

1469
01:07:09,880 --> 01:07:11,560
Speaker 1: with the Rookie of the Year trophy. You know, there's

1470
01:07:11,560 --> 01:07:14,200
Speaker 1: some reveals like that, so it's always a good time.

1471
01:07:14,280 --> 01:07:17,120
Speaker 1: Or somebody that's really close to the player, So that's fun.

1472
01:07:17,280 --> 01:07:20,240
Speaker 1: The NBA Award Show, it was a it was a

1473
01:07:20,280 --> 01:07:23,000
Speaker 1: test run, but see you later. We don't need it.

1474
01:07:23,040 --> 01:07:25,640
Speaker 1: These reveals are far, far, far far better. So I'm

1475
01:07:25,640 --> 01:07:26,120
Speaker 1: looking for.

1476
01:07:26,000 --> 01:07:27,480
Speaker 5: At least we got to go to one of the

1477
01:07:27,560 --> 01:07:31,080
Speaker 5: NBA Award Show. That's be on stage. Yes, oh yeah,

1478
01:07:31,120 --> 01:07:34,560
Speaker 5: that's right. That's pretty funny. Forgot we were on stage.

1479
01:07:35,920 --> 01:07:39,000
Speaker 5: I totally forgot about that. Yeah. Try any thoughts on

1480
01:07:39,040 --> 01:07:41,440
Speaker 5: these or what do you think any snubs? Crazy?

1481
01:07:41,640 --> 01:07:45,240
Speaker 3: Nah, these guys headed on the snubs. Jared Jackson Junior

1482
01:07:45,360 --> 01:07:47,880
Speaker 3: not making Defensive Player of the Year was a surprise

1483
01:07:48,000 --> 01:07:51,040
Speaker 3: to me, but I guess maybe, uh maybe the same

1484
01:07:51,400 --> 01:07:53,120
Speaker 3: will be that he has too much of an old

1485
01:07:53,200 --> 01:07:55,480
Speaker 3: school case where you're just counting up the blocks and

1486
01:07:55,560 --> 01:07:58,200
Speaker 3: the steals and that doesn't matter unless your Marcus can

1487
01:07:58,280 --> 01:07:59,960
Speaker 3: be and it's twenty ten all over again.

1488
01:08:00,000 --> 01:08:01,160
Speaker 5: And then yeah, Jordan Poole.

1489
01:08:01,160 --> 01:08:03,400
Speaker 3: I would have liked to see him on Most Improved

1490
01:08:03,400 --> 01:08:05,000
Speaker 3: as well, but when I saw the finalists, I was like, oh,

1491
01:08:05,040 --> 01:08:07,200
Speaker 3: I guess John Morant being the favorite means he's actually

1492
01:08:07,240 --> 01:08:09,560
Speaker 3: won this thing, So seeing him there, I think he's

1493
01:08:09,560 --> 01:08:10,720
Speaker 3: gonna win Most Improved.

1494
01:08:10,760 --> 01:08:11,440
Speaker 5: But Tass is right.

1495
01:08:12,040 --> 01:08:15,080
Speaker 3: I like this era of reveals better where instead of

1496
01:08:15,080 --> 01:08:16,880
Speaker 3: an award show, it's kind of like a prank show.

1497
01:08:17,320 --> 01:08:18,559
Speaker 1: You never think you're getting an award.

1498
01:08:18,720 --> 01:08:20,880
Speaker 3: Oh oh gotcha, you got a six Man of the

1499
01:08:20,920 --> 01:08:23,840
Speaker 3: Year from Joe Inglesh So.

1500
01:08:24,560 --> 01:08:27,439
Speaker 5: We don't know. Again prank when they're gonna announce it

1501
01:08:27,560 --> 01:08:31,040
Speaker 5: is like is it every every day? TNT has their

1502
01:08:31,080 --> 01:08:34,320
Speaker 5: games and their big like you know, pregame show and

1503
01:08:34,320 --> 01:08:36,040
Speaker 5: stuff like that. Maybe I don't know. I think they

1504
01:08:36,120 --> 01:08:37,920
Speaker 5: just pick and choose when the moment's right, when they

1505
01:08:37,920 --> 01:08:40,640
Speaker 5: can pull the prank off, Like Test said, when it

1506
01:08:40,720 --> 01:08:44,040
Speaker 5: lines up so we will see. I don't even care

1507
01:08:44,080 --> 01:08:47,160
Speaker 5: all that much anymore about getting angry about Most Improved.

1508
01:08:47,240 --> 01:08:49,040
Speaker 5: I don't think it should go to players like John Ran.

1509
01:08:49,080 --> 01:08:50,680
Speaker 5: I'm sort of. I guess I sided with Michael Lee

1510
01:08:50,760 --> 01:08:53,320
Speaker 5: because well, then, like, where's the case for Giannis? If

1511
01:08:53,320 --> 01:08:55,320
Speaker 5: we're doing this, Yannas approved a hell of a lot

1512
01:08:55,880 --> 01:08:57,840
Speaker 5: kuy of like hits free throws that incredible right now,

1513
01:08:57,880 --> 01:09:00,720
Speaker 5: guy hits jumpers. Guys like does all this? Like there

1514
01:09:00,760 --> 01:09:03,439
Speaker 5: are awards for these guys. They're called MVPs and all

1515
01:09:03,560 --> 01:09:06,880
Speaker 5: NBA selections. So it's weird that a guy like Jordan

1516
01:09:06,920 --> 01:09:09,479
Speaker 5: Poole isn't there to me as well. But yeah, I

1517
01:09:09,479 --> 01:09:12,040
Speaker 5: guess John Rant probably is winning it. If he was

1518
01:09:12,360 --> 01:09:15,000
Speaker 5: the favorite on bet MGM by a landslide, wasn't he

1519
01:09:15,080 --> 01:09:17,559
Speaker 5: for months for a while, but that was right before

1520
01:09:17,600 --> 01:09:19,280
Speaker 5: then he went out for like twenty games, So I

1521
01:09:19,280 --> 01:09:21,360
Speaker 5: don't know how that cut falls into the equation. So

1522
01:09:21,920 --> 01:09:24,559
Speaker 5: maybe Garland or Murray steals it. But we'll see, we'll see,

1523
01:09:24,560 --> 01:09:28,760
Speaker 5: all right, fun show, guys, I know we tried to

1524
01:09:29,520 --> 01:09:32,080
Speaker 5: get to every series. I think we did a decent job. Again,

1525
01:09:32,320 --> 01:09:34,760
Speaker 5: go back watch some weekend shifts on YouTube where we

1526
01:09:34,840 --> 01:09:37,599
Speaker 5: do some immediate deep dives on some of those games.

1527
01:09:37,600 --> 01:09:39,800
Speaker 5: If you didn't get enough of it here, just quickly

1528
01:09:39,880 --> 01:09:43,240
Speaker 5: before we wrap up tasks, Game two predictions or what

1529
01:09:43,280 --> 01:09:45,200
Speaker 5: do you see happening tonight? We got Raptor Sixers Game

1530
01:09:45,240 --> 01:09:49,040
Speaker 5: two of course, Jazz Mavericks and Nuggets Warriors. So fascinating

1531
01:09:49,080 --> 01:09:52,040
Speaker 5: that these are the three series that could, like very

1532
01:09:52,080 --> 01:09:55,040
Speaker 5: easily tonight be two to oh and all of us

1533
01:09:55,080 --> 01:09:56,840
Speaker 5: go on, oh or these are rap you know what

1534
01:09:56,880 --> 01:09:59,280
Speaker 5: I mean? Just the way the schedules break in here.

1535
01:10:00,439 --> 01:10:02,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I definitely believe in the Warriors over the Nuggets.

1536
01:10:02,960 --> 01:10:05,439
Speaker 1: But I think Jokic will break some teeth tonight. I

1537
01:10:05,479 --> 01:10:09,880
Speaker 1: think he's using that shoulder to bash a Looney face

1538
01:10:10,080 --> 01:10:14,120
Speaker 1: or a Draymond Green face. He is going to He's

1539
01:10:14,120 --> 01:10:16,240
Speaker 1: got no choice. He really has to go through guys.

1540
01:10:16,320 --> 01:10:19,360
Speaker 1: He only garnered two free throws in the first game,

1541
01:10:19,640 --> 01:10:23,759
Speaker 1: so I think that's gonna happen. And I'm not fading

1542
01:10:23,800 --> 01:10:27,000
Speaker 1: on my Raptors quite yet. I think the Raptors bounce

1543
01:10:27,120 --> 01:10:31,080
Speaker 1: back even even if they've got a couple big injuries.

1544
01:10:31,080 --> 01:10:35,360
Speaker 1: That's how good they They really really prospered when guys

1545
01:10:35,360 --> 01:10:37,599
Speaker 1: were out towards the end of the season because they

1546
01:10:37,680 --> 01:10:42,439
Speaker 1: just rallied defensively. They scrambled like crazy, and so that's

1547
01:10:42,520 --> 01:10:45,240
Speaker 1: got to be instilled in them tonight. Despite not having

1548
01:10:45,840 --> 01:10:49,400
Speaker 1: Scottie Barnes, who is out tonight. I think they will

1549
01:10:49,439 --> 01:10:52,720
Speaker 1: just st rally the rally around that. And yeah, they's

1550
01:10:52,760 --> 01:10:55,479
Speaker 1: got to move on the defensive end and get after everybody,

1551
01:10:55,520 --> 01:11:00,640
Speaker 1: so bounce back. They're splitting, they're splitting in Fillladelphia. I

1552
01:11:00,640 --> 01:11:06,880
Speaker 1: don't care. And Leed's prediction four to one, he.

1553
01:11:06,960 --> 01:11:11,040
Speaker 7: Stills, all I needed is this one person to support it,

1554
01:11:11,120 --> 01:11:13,240
Speaker 7: and that just keeps gives him the belief that maybe

1555
01:11:13,240 --> 01:11:14,040
Speaker 7: it could still happen.

1556
01:11:14,160 --> 01:11:17,280
Speaker 5: Sout lye, what of these three games tonight, which one

1557
01:11:17,360 --> 01:11:20,960
Speaker 5: is most likely to be tied one one? Uh, you

1558
01:11:21,000 --> 01:11:23,800
Speaker 5: know when we talk here in the yard tomorrow morning,

1559
01:11:23,840 --> 01:11:25,440
Speaker 5: which which of these three series.

1560
01:11:27,200 --> 01:11:29,400
Speaker 7: It probably his The Raptor sixer is to be honest,

1561
01:11:29,800 --> 01:11:32,400
Speaker 7: I mean, I think the Warriors go to zero up

1562
01:11:32,439 --> 01:11:35,040
Speaker 7: and I think the Jazz also do that. Again, as

1563
01:11:35,080 --> 01:11:38,080
Speaker 7: I mentioned, Doncic not playing, so the Jazz should really

1564
01:11:38,120 --> 01:11:40,840
Speaker 7: take full advantage of that. And Nick Nurse, he is

1565
01:11:40,880 --> 01:11:42,400
Speaker 7: a bit of a mad scientist. He's a bit of

1566
01:11:42,400 --> 01:11:44,759
Speaker 7: a Don Nelson where he does do some crazy things

1567
01:11:44,800 --> 01:11:47,200
Speaker 7: and you know it gets funky with a lineup JANKI

1568
01:11:47,320 --> 01:11:50,000
Speaker 7: with the defense maybe as well, and you know does

1569
01:11:50,040 --> 01:11:52,599
Speaker 7: tires Maxi go for thirty eight again. But even if

1570
01:11:52,600 --> 01:11:54,640
Speaker 7: he doesn't, Joell Ebiand's probably going to do more. I

1571
01:11:54,640 --> 01:11:56,599
Speaker 7: think he finished with nineteen there in game one. He's

1572
01:11:56,600 --> 01:11:59,479
Speaker 7: probably going to certainly shoot more anyway than he did

1573
01:11:59,520 --> 01:12:01,559
Speaker 7: in game when. I think he took the fourth most

1574
01:12:01,560 --> 01:12:04,240
Speaker 7: shots out of the Philadelphia team, Which is incredible success

1575
01:12:04,280 --> 01:12:06,639
Speaker 7: for doc Ravis to win so comfortably. It to boys.

1576
01:12:06,640 --> 01:12:10,040
Speaker 7: Harris stepped up. He was great, you know, so you know,

1577
01:12:10,160 --> 01:12:14,000
Speaker 7: maybe the Raptors can do something crazy and hopefully get

1578
01:12:14,000 --> 01:12:15,960
Speaker 7: back to Toronto with a split.

1579
01:12:16,560 --> 01:12:18,800
Speaker 5: We'll see, what about you, tre same question, which one

1580
01:12:18,800 --> 01:12:21,320
Speaker 5: of these most likely to see one one after tonight.

1581
01:12:23,200 --> 01:12:26,320
Speaker 3: I don't know. I'm not feeling super confident for the Raptors,

1582
01:12:26,360 --> 01:12:29,320
Speaker 3: which is probably a good sign for them. You know,

1583
01:12:29,360 --> 01:12:31,040
Speaker 3: as soon as you cant them out, they'll be looking better.

1584
01:12:31,120 --> 01:12:32,920
Speaker 3: As soon as more and more players get injured, the

1585
01:12:32,960 --> 01:12:35,800
Speaker 3: better they get. But bringing in Malachi Flynn, I don't

1586
01:12:35,800 --> 01:12:38,240
Speaker 3: know if that is going to be the answer. But also,

1587
01:12:38,600 --> 01:12:41,760
Speaker 3: you know, maybe Tyrese Maxey just had a superheater. You know,

1588
01:12:41,800 --> 01:12:43,840
Speaker 3: he probably won't go for thirty eight. You probably won't

1589
01:12:43,880 --> 01:12:47,439
Speaker 3: get another great performance from Tobias Harris as well, so

1590
01:12:47,520 --> 01:12:50,280
Speaker 3: if you're able to kind of negate the role players,

1591
01:12:50,600 --> 01:12:53,200
Speaker 3: then the Raptors will have a chance. The Mavericks, I

1592
01:12:53,200 --> 01:12:54,679
Speaker 3: guess they have a chance. They just got to shoot

1593
01:12:54,680 --> 01:12:58,280
Speaker 3: three pointers. Well, so look out for a big Burton's game.

1594
01:12:58,320 --> 01:13:00,320
Speaker 3: That would be helpful. And I wouldn't be some prize

1595
01:13:00,360 --> 01:13:04,160
Speaker 3: to see Trey Burke cause anytime that Dinwiddie and Brunson

1596
01:13:04,200 --> 01:13:06,840
Speaker 3: were sitting, it was like no chance on offense for

1597
01:13:06,920 --> 01:13:10,439
Speaker 3: the Mavericks. Like Josh Green is maybe their initiator in

1598
01:13:10,479 --> 01:13:13,639
Speaker 3: those scenarios, and they just did not have any interest

1599
01:13:13,640 --> 01:13:16,000
Speaker 3: in even guarding him. And I thought Mitchell took him

1600
01:13:16,000 --> 01:13:17,840
Speaker 3: twenty shots, but he did score thirty points in the

1601
01:13:17,880 --> 01:13:19,640
Speaker 3: second half of that game, which was a little bit

1602
01:13:19,680 --> 01:13:21,920
Speaker 3: of the difference as well. And like Tats mentioned, Bogdanovic

1603
01:13:22,280 --> 01:13:25,120
Speaker 3: nice too. It'll be interesting to see what Yokic does

1604
01:13:25,479 --> 01:13:27,880
Speaker 3: as well in the late game, because the Warriors kept

1605
01:13:27,960 --> 01:13:30,360
Speaker 3: him moving a lot. They had a lot of five

1606
01:13:30,400 --> 01:13:33,839
Speaker 3: out possessions, obviously, and that kept Jokic on the perimeter,

1607
01:13:33,880 --> 01:13:35,640
Speaker 3: which kept him away from the rim, which kept him

1608
01:13:35,640 --> 01:13:37,320
Speaker 3: away from being able to get his hands in passing

1609
01:13:37,400 --> 01:13:39,599
Speaker 3: wanes and that kind of stuff, and he definitely slowed down.

1610
01:13:39,600 --> 01:13:41,960
Speaker 3: I thought over the course of that game, he's carried

1611
01:13:42,000 --> 01:13:44,800
Speaker 3: a massive load for the entirety of the season. Now

1612
01:13:44,800 --> 01:13:47,360
Speaker 3: he's got to do even more in the playoffs while

1613
01:13:47,400 --> 01:13:49,840
Speaker 3: also giving more on the defensive end as well. So

1614
01:13:49,880 --> 01:13:52,040
Speaker 3: a really tough matchup for him. Needs some help from

1615
01:13:52,080 --> 01:13:53,400
Speaker 3: somebody besides Will Burton.

1616
01:13:53,520 --> 01:13:55,639
Speaker 5: Yeah. Absolutely, Yeah, and a lot of those Will Barton

1617
01:13:55,680 --> 01:13:57,920
Speaker 5: points came in sort of garbage time too. Yeah, you're right,

1618
01:13:58,840 --> 01:14:01,439
Speaker 5: I love I love the move from Jymond Green with

1619
01:14:01,479 --> 01:14:03,599
Speaker 5: the press though, he was saying, like he's talking up

1620
01:14:03,640 --> 01:14:05,600
Speaker 5: be O Kitch. She's like, he'll probably go for like

1621
01:14:05,680 --> 01:14:08,960
Speaker 5: forty fifteen and fifteen tonight. Like I love the forty

1622
01:14:09,000 --> 01:14:11,360
Speaker 5: part because I'm convinced that's their game plan. Like he'll

1623
01:14:11,400 --> 01:14:14,320
Speaker 5: probably score one hundred points tonight. But you know, we'll

1624
01:14:14,360 --> 01:14:16,120
Speaker 5: live with it. We'll live with it. But uh yeah,

1625
