00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:36,640
Speaker 1: you from a tiny ass hotel room in New York

5
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 1: City from a bed, and alongside me as always, it's

6
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 1: Test Melice.

7
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:45,280
Speaker 2: When you said a tiny room, I had to wonder

8
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 2: how big is this bed? This bed is fitting us

9
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:51,240
Speaker 2: very well. We fed perfectly on this.

10
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 1: Bed next to uh Test. There it's the bearded one

11
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 1: Atapsha Hot Boy tray herby eyah he yo.

12
00:00:58,200 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 3: I was weird to say it in the bed.

13
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 1: And making this type of magic happen. You've never seen

14
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 1: it before done on an NBA podcast. We've got JD

00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:14,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, here we are so all we could find.

17
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:20,039
Speaker 1: It was like John Lennon and Yokodo. We're here in

18
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:23,959
Speaker 1: the bed, pace man. We're here to talk about tonight's

26
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 1: We'll only have three guys just lying down in a

27
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 1: bed because we got into the room and realized there's

28
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 1: not enough space for us to see normal people. So

29
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 1: here we are. But we're talking about game one. Like

30
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 1: I said, the Thunder beat the Wolves one, fourteen to

31
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 1: eighty eight in Game one of the Western Conference Finals

32
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 1: on the back of a thirty one point nine assists

33
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:13,359
Speaker 1: performance from Shay Gildess Alexander. They were trailing by four

34
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,360
Speaker 1: points at halftime. Task but okay, see beat them in

35
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 1: the second half seventy to forty.

36
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 3: I feel like I need to see your face.

37
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 4: More set tasks, press cross applesaucege Oksey took down the

38
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 4: Minnesota to rules.

39
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:33,079
Speaker 2: I gotta call the front desk. I've got to tell

40
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 2: them to come clean JD's bed after after we're gone.

41
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 2: I mean, we're hearing a PC I agree directly to

42
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 2: someone's bed.

43
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 1: None of us showered when we arrived here. We went

44
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 1: to freaking got tacos. Then we went to a bar

45
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,119
Speaker 1: to watch the game and then we came right back

46
00:02:54,160 --> 00:03:01,359
Speaker 1: here to bedd night.

47
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:05,640
Speaker 4: Odd night conditions were perfect for watching Game one of

48
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 4: the Western Conference Finals.

49
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 2: Also an odd game, very odd game for the Minnesota Well.

50
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 2: I will say I've sort of developed this theory that

51
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,360
Speaker 2: Anthony Edwards is a bit of a the Lebron and

52
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 2: that he's a first game feeler. He likes to feel

53
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 2: it out. This game is a game kind that's exactly

54
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,360
Speaker 2: what he does. This is another feeler. He only had

55
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 2: five points in the second half. It wasn't the ankle

56
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 2: injury that he sustained late in the first quarter. He

57
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 2: just went super quiet. He said they're down for. Okay,

58
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 2: he was down for and they're up ten at the

59
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 2: end of the third quarter, but that's because no one

60
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 2: was helping out. Anthony Edwards and Julius rend Brandon had

61
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 2: twenty Anthony Edwards had eighteen. At the end of the

62
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 2: third quarter, there's still just within ten. It wasn't a

63
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 2: blow up by any means. This was just an odd

64
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 2: game because Okay, see didn't start well. Shay started two

65
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 2: of twelve. Check Homegren did this pregame interview. I think

66
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 2: that threw him off. He did not look like himself.

67
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 2: He was pulled three minutes into the game. Jerry Williams

68
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 2: for eight. Yep, they had a bunch of guys starting cold.

69
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 2: But that's the beauty of Okay, so you can start

70
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 2: extremely cold, start bad, and their depth will come through. Well,

71
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 2: Minnesota is not even close, not even close to coming through.

72
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:25,480
Speaker 2: Nobody helped up, not one person.

73
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:27,719
Speaker 4: This was a complete tail of two half. Nobody played

74
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 4: well for Minnesota in the second half of this game.

75
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,280
Speaker 4: The reason they were winning the first half was because

76
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 4: Julius Randall went nuts. He made five threes in the

77
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:38,040
Speaker 4: first half. That was his playoff career high at that point. Okay,

78
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 4: so he had taken eight threes total. They were three

79
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 4: for eight compared to Minnesota shooting the lights out in

80
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,160
Speaker 4: the first half. Second half comes around, Okay, See he

81
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 4: turned up the defensive intensity. It kind of felt like

82
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 4: Minnesota wasn't totally ready for that. Kind of the same

83
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 4: thing happened in Game one of the Golden State series

84
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,279
Speaker 4: that had the Curry injury thrown in as well, but

85
00:04:55,880 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 4: the playoff noss of the second half got to the timberwall,

86
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 4: I thought in Game one of that series, and kind

87
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 4: of the same thing here. When the Thunder got to

88
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 4: the next level. Minnesota wasn't able to hit that level.

89
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 4: They took Anthony Edwards completely out of the game, they

90
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 4: took Randall completely out of the game.

91
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 3: They forced everybody else to make plays.

92
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:15,920
Speaker 4: And as we're gonna get into naz Red, Devincenzo, Nikhil,

93
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:20,280
Speaker 4: Alexander Walker, Jade McDaniels, none of those guys could make plays. Somehow,

94
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 4: the ball found its way to go bears hands so

95
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:25,719
Speaker 4: many times to start the second half, and you know

96
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 4: that's a win right away for the Thunder. He started missing,

97
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:30,840
Speaker 4: turning the ball over, they yanked him out and then

98
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 4: it was just a parade to the rim for Jay Gilders.

99
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:37,159
Speaker 1: Alexander Yeah, zero for seven, nas Red from deep one

100
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:40,840
Speaker 1: of eleven from the game, Devincenzo three to twelve from

101
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 1: deep three or fourteen from the floor, and then Nikhil

102
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 1: Alexander Walker two of nine from deep, three of eleven

103
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:50,479
Speaker 1: from the field. That's their three main bench guys that

104
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 1: gave them nothing. Jillen Clark, jillen Clerk was arguably their

105
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 1: best bench player tonight. Something you never want to hear

106
00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,039
Speaker 1: if you're a wolf said, I don't think here in

107
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 1: game one, of the Western Coming Finals. You know, he

108
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,599
Speaker 1: got early minutes and gave him a little bit of something.

109
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 1: But it was just like these guys couldn't hit a

110
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 1: shot test And we talked about this coming into the series,

111
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 1: like these shots are going to be there. The thunder

112
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 1: allowed these threes, they allow these corner threes, and these guys,

113
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 1: like for a majority of this game, cannot hit one.

114
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was very odd. We basically named everybody, even

115
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 2: Mike Conley was off tonight. It was a very weird night.

116
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,280
Speaker 2: So we've mentioned everybody from the starting lineup, but you

117
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:25,919
Speaker 2: mentioned Jane McDaniel's was really odd. Was he hit the

118
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,160
Speaker 2: first two shots of this game, first two possessions for

119
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 2: the Minnesota Timberwolves. You know, jumper in a three, yeah,

120
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:32,840
Speaker 2: right away, bang bang, and then he only hit one

121
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 2: the rest of the game. They literally, you're right in

122
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 2: that they decided to take away Anthony Edwards and mak

123
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 2: him pass the ball to Rudy Gobert, et cetera. But

124
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,040
Speaker 2: I do think they started to get a little too

125
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:48,719
Speaker 2: comfortable on the outside and not get into the paint

126
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 2: at all. They literally couldn't score in the paint at all.

127
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 4: Twenty points in the paint for Minnesota, and some of

128
00:06:56,240 --> 00:07:00,719
Speaker 4: those were late. Those came late Nikayle ale Xander Walker

129
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,839
Speaker 4: had a late layup as well. But you can't do

130
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 4: that against the Thunder. I thought that there were times

131
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 4: Minnesota was forcing the ball inside, oftentimes with Gobert, definitely

132
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 4: in the second half the ball. You can't just try

133
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 4: and four shots up against the Thunder inside. There's such

134
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 4: a swarming defense that they're going to get a good

135
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 4: contest on it unless you have a really good look

136
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 4: at the rim.

137
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:22,239
Speaker 3: And then once they get.

138
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 4: The ball knocked out of there or grab the ball

139
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 4: off the defensive glass, they're going the other way. The

140
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 4: transition points were ridiculous in this one. Zero fast break

141
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 4: points for Minnesota. Not a surprise. Oka see though, is

142
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 4: able to run the other way. They got a lot

143
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 4: easier offense. They shot close to sixty percent in the

144
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 4: second half of this game. Minnesota stopped them in the

145
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:41,239
Speaker 4: first half. I think a lot of that was because

146
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 4: they were Darren okc to shoot jumpers. They weren't making

147
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 4: the jumpers. But eventually that kind of the tide broke

148
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 4: open and Minnesota couldn't defend or score.

149
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, there was that stretch in the second half where j.

150
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 1: Dobbs jumper started to fall SGA started to get a

151
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 1: little more comfortable from the mid range. Kenrich Williams back

152
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 1: to back jack shout out to John Schumann. Henrich Williams

153
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 1: got into this game early, late in the first quarter,

154
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 1: and then we saw him in second half and he

155
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 1: hit a couple shots that sort of unlocks some things,

156
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 1: and then their offense started to roll. And yeah, just

157
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 1: Minnesota continually all night, I mean, just shot an absolute

158
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 1: abysmal thirty four point nine percent and that was bumped

159
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 1: up a little bit sort of in garbage time a

160
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 1: little bit atter. Again, it was like it was sub

161
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 1: thirty four percent for a majority of the competitive part

162
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 1: of this game.

163
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 2: They did get a little too comfortable on the perimeter,

164
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 2: and that's where the turnovers came from. Okay, see that's

165
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 2: what they do. They turned the ball over thirty one

166
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 2: to ten on points off of turnovers for Oka. See

167
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 2: that's just way too big. You can't turn it over

168
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:46,200
Speaker 2: that much. And it just felt like Minnesota's players couldn't

169
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 2: match the the intensity. I mean, that's what happened. Okay,

170
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 2: I'm sure Minnesota can come back out of this one.

171
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:58,079
Speaker 2: And find little things to get furious about. The fouls

172
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 2: called for Shaygis Alexander were questionable. I know, Oh yeah,

173
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 2: they're a ghost, committed a foul and somehow they got

174
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:11,319
Speaker 2: the whistle on their side. They can be angry about that,

175
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:15,080
Speaker 2: and maybe they take game one and they watch all

176
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 2: the film and they take that into game two. But

177
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 2: they didn't. They did not start moving the ball enough.

178
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 2: You're right in that Nazrid, he Ale, Alexander Walker, Dante

179
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,680
Speaker 2: Divionchenz was literally just couldn't hit shots. There's no doubt

180
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,199
Speaker 2: about that. But I thought it needed to be a

181
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:33,679
Speaker 2: little bit more inside outside rather than just a few

182
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 2: passes on the perimeter to get everybody into rhythm, and

183
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:37,560
Speaker 2: that just didn't happen.

184
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, there was nobody that could get the ball inside.

185
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 4: They tried posting up Nasrid a couple of times on

186
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 4: j Dubb stolen both times, and Julius Randall never really

187
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 4: got it going in a post up scenario either. And

188
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 4: then Anthony Edwards, whether it was just because of the

189
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 4: defense that Okaysee was playing or because he tweaked his

190
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 4: ankle once again, missed a bunch of time in the

191
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:56,719
Speaker 4: second quarter. He wasn't going to the rim the way

192
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:58,840
Speaker 4: he can go to the rim. A lot of that

193
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,319
Speaker 4: is cause Caruso is such a defensive player. Case and

194
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 4: Wallace as well. These guys are major screen navigators. They

195
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:07,439
Speaker 4: were awesome in this game, fighting through never allowing Anthony

196
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 4: Edwards to actually get a good look at the hoop

197
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:12,959
Speaker 4: off a clean screen. They were never able to pick

198
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 4: those guys off, which kept Minnesota out of the paint.

199
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 4: So the three pointers they're generating, they're not good ones.

200
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 4: They're kind of desperation ones, and they got too steadily.

201
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 4: You're totally right on the on the perimeter. So yeah,

202
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 4: they're gonna have to figure it out.

203
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 3: I'm with you.

204
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 4: Some of the Shay files were ridiculous in this game, disgusting.

205
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 4: I generally believe it's okay to go the free throw line.

206
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 4: A lot of times it means because you can't be guarded,

207
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 4: people can't stay in front of you, but a lot

208
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:39,319
Speaker 4: of these the guys were in front of them. I

209
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 4: think it was worse in the first half. I think

210
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:42,680
Speaker 4: he shot two for thirteen. It looked to me like

211
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 4: he was playing for the foul. But then he came

212
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 4: out in the second half seven for thirteen. Part of

213
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 4: that's cause McDaniel's dealing with foul trouble, but he was

214
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 4: playing to score in the second half. Yeah, way more ethical,

215
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 4: I thought from shake Yo just Alexander and half two.

216
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:58,320
Speaker 2: Yeah it was I thought the good thing about Shay

217
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:01,960
Speaker 2: even in the first six minutes he was trying to score.

218
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 2: He was not good at being efficient at all. He

219
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:08,320
Speaker 2: started two of twelve again but okay, so he just

220
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 2: wasn't there. Chet Holmgren again, very bad start, Jalen Williams.

221
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 2: Very bad start. At least you had one guy trying

222
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 2: with that sort of effort bringing He was lost. He

223
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 2: wasn't himself and the calls were definitely the wrong calls.

224
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:24,600
Speaker 2: It felt like he got to the line twenty five times,

225
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 2: just the way that he was getting to the line

226
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:31,840
Speaker 2: on a lot of bad officiat I never like to

227
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 2: really ridicule officiating, but this was easy to ridicule. I mean,

228
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 2: there was just so many bad calls. He only went

229
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 2: to the free throw line fourteen times, it felt like

230
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 2: a hundred. But he got so much better as the

231
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 2: game went on, scoring from the floor. He just looked

232
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:48,680
Speaker 2: like the guy that can, somehow, some way is able

233
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 2: to split these double teams, to split two players and

234
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 2: to get there because he looked so fast and so

235
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 2: sleek after a while. But I liked the effort to

236
00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:59,680
Speaker 2: start in all honesty because they were sort of lost

237
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:00,839
Speaker 2: their points.

238
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,319
Speaker 1: Wins were coming at the freetent line BTh of him.

239
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 2: Yeah.

240
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 1: And whether those were some questionable calls, yes, there were.

241
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 1: He got he got gobert On sort of like a

242
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:09,960
Speaker 1: pump fake and jumped into him. That was one of

243
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:11,839
Speaker 1: his first trips to the line. There's another one where

244
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 1: he initiated all the contact. He got the call. Like,

245
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 1: there's a handful of them. You remember those ones. There's

246
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:19,600
Speaker 1: other ones where he's getting fouled because guys can't stay

247
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 1: in front of him. Oh yeah, Like so it's like

248
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 1: it's you know, it plays tricks on your mind at times.

249
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 1: But yeah, he still finishes with thirty one, nine and five.

250
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 4: I mean, like, and look to me, it comes down

251
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,200
Speaker 4: to if you throw out shake yo. Just Alexander's fourteen

252
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 4: free throws. They still are blowing out the Timberwolves.

253
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 2: A good game.

254
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 3: It's the defense that won the game.

255
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:38,439
Speaker 2: Yep. Yeah, and the I thought Isaiah Hartenstein six floaters

256
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 2: that hit in this game I'm assuming they're all six

257
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:43,200
Speaker 2: floaters because I felt like it. He hit six shots

258
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:45,959
Speaker 2: in this game. Those twelve points, A couple of dunks, Yeah,

259
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 2: that's true. They were key to keeping this team ahead

260
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:51,720
Speaker 2: by ten at the end of the third quarter. Those

261
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:53,680
Speaker 2: that was sort of the difference. They had a third

262
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 2: guy chipping in while Minnesota absolutely did not, and he.

263
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:57,679
Speaker 4: Took care of the glass. I thought that was huge

264
00:12:57,720 --> 00:12:59,679
Speaker 4: in the third quarter. I think no offensive rebounds for

265
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:01,839
Speaker 4: the Ti Wolves in back quarter, and they were pretty

266
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:03,680
Speaker 4: good in the first half. They were just turning the

267
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 4: ball over so much in the first half. They weren't

268
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 4: really able to extend the lead, but they were also

269
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 4: hitting the offensive glass. But Go Bear wasn't really able

270
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 4: to play much in the third quarter. He's supposed to

271
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 4: be helping on the offensive glass. Suddenly Minnesota the team

272
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 4: that looks like the bigger team. They didn't look any

273
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 4: bigger than okay Se did, and in fact, okay See

274
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:24,880
Speaker 4: was dominating inside. Hartenstein got a few dunks in the

275
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 4: second half, had the floaters as well. Chat Holmgren found

276
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:30,839
Speaker 4: his way into the game, started dunking everything inside, running

277
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 4: the court, making plays on both sides. The Biggs battle

278
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 4: completely swopped in the second half.

279
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:38,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was gonna ask you of the thunder trio,

280
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:40,679
Speaker 1: like the three guys, they all like stepped up in

281
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:43,319
Speaker 1: the second half, right like j Dubb six points first half,

282
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:45,640
Speaker 1: thirteen in the second, Chet Holmgren two points in the

283
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 1: first half, thirteen in the second, and then Sga eleven points.

284
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 1: A lot of those out the line in the first half,

285
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 1: twenty in the second. Like if you had to rank

286
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 1: those or if you had to pick one of them,

287
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 1: tasks like who impressed you the most, like the turnaround

288
00:13:58,040 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 1: from the first twenty four minutes to the second twenty

289
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:03,200
Speaker 1: four I mean, they're all great, but is it Chad?

290
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:06,320
Speaker 2: It was ched. I think Joel Williams and Shay both

291
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 2: were doing other things contributing. Check just sort of looked

292
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 2: a little bit lost. And I think he's got to

293
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 2: take that pregame interview out of the report. Literally doing

294
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 2: an on game interview twenty minutes before the game. It

295
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 2: was baffling it. I know it's nothing, but at the

296
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 2: same time, he said it after the game. He did

297
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 2: a pregame interview, he did a postgame interview. Postgame, he

298
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 2: said I stunk in the first half, so he did

299
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 2: stink the most he had. Literally when he came back

300
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 2: he had to sit. After three minutes, dag Naught said,

301
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 2: we have to pull you. He got back on the floor,

302
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 2: he couldn't rebound, he wasn't fighting on for rebounds. But

303
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 2: in the second half he looked like a new player.

304
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 2: Although Joe went.

305
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 1: Back to back dunks, it's sort of like that's when

306
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 1: the game started getting out of control for the Wolves.

307
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 2: The back line dunks.

308
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, yes, would you agree with you?

309
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 3: Go chet oh che for sure. He looked completely outclassed

310
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 3: in the first half. He looked like he wasn't gonna

311
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 3: be able to plan this series.

312
00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 4: They were hunting him on defense in the first quarter

313
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 4: and that's why they had to sup him out so quickly.

314
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 4: So I thought for him to turn that around completely.

315
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 4: He was kind of dominant at times, I thought in

316
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 4: the second half of this game, with the back to

317
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 4: back dunks, making plays at the rim, getting steals inside

318
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 4: as well. That was like a fully realized chat Homegroun

319
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 4: in the second half, exactly what you want to see

320
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 4: from him.

321
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 1: So heading into the series, Trey, I know you talked

322
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 1: about it in our preview. We've talked about it. It

323
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 1: feels like everybody has talked about it. One of the

324
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 1: big keys for the Wolves to be in the series

325
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 1: is to limit those turnovers obvious, especially those ones in

326
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 1: the back court and obviously are just you know, okay,

327
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 1: see run in because they have that incredible ball pressure.

328
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 1: But I think it was yeah, seventeen turnovers, committed a

329
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:43,000
Speaker 1: lot of live ball turnovers, a lot resulting in easy

330
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 1: okay see points going the other way. Some that they

331
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 1: even missed for being honest and maybe took a second chance.

332
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 1: But yeah, they have to clean up that. And then

333
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 1: they just got to get some of these guys off

334
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 1: the bench or even Ant or Randall in the second half,

335
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 1: like they got to hit shots.

336
00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 4: Like nobody did anything not in the second half. Everybody

337
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 4: played poorly for Minnesota in the second half. Yeah, I

338
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 4: don't really know what they can look to to be like, Okay,

339
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 4: we can build off this looking just specifically at the

340
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 4: third and the fourth quarters.

341
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 3: They have to be looking more so to the first half.

342
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 4: But even then, they had as many made threes as

343
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 4: they had turnovers, so it was like, okay, yeah, you

344
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 4: are shooting the ball very very well, but they should

345
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 4: have had a bigger lead.

346
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 3: They had eight turnovers I believe it at halftime that.

347
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 4: Was equivalent to what they were shooting from three And

348
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 4: you know, you like the jump shots dropping, but you

349
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 4: know you're playing sloppy on the other side, and eventually

350
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 4: it's gonna build and okay, see when they get one turnover,

351
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 4: they're looking for the next one. Yeah, right away, they

352
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:37,800
Speaker 4: really can amp it up. They really they smell the

353
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:39,800
Speaker 4: blood and it's just like, we know, these guys are

354
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 4: a little bit rattled, and we can get two or

355
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 4: three steels in a row and that's a huge momentum factor.

356
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 1: Unfortunately, we couldn't tell how loud it was tonight in Okay,

357
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:51,280
Speaker 1: see because we were watching in a bar with no audio.

358
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 4: Well we had audio, Well, we had Robin Thick bumping

359
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 4: through this seat. It was songs you haven't heard for

360
00:16:58,080 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 4: fifteen years. We heard them all tonight.

361
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 1: Was like a wedding DJ. Wasn't it a little bit?

362
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:05,200
Speaker 1: There's like flow Rider and yeah, like those type of songs.

363
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:07,880
Speaker 2: What was your karaoke song that you heard? You said, oh,

364
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:13,119
Speaker 2: this is my karaoke jam.

365
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, okay, we heard that maybe during the third

366
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:19,679
Speaker 1: quarter run from OKC. But yeah, it was weird to

367
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:22,480
Speaker 1: watch a game with no audio. Yeah, I don't mind

368
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:25,439
Speaker 1: it at times, though you have to, like, you know,

369
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:30,640
Speaker 1: really tap into your other senses.

370
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:35,360
Speaker 3: Most of the game doesn't hit quite as hard.

371
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 1: Have no idea what Mark Dagnelt was saying.

372
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:40,119
Speaker 3: These guys are talking.

373
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:41,960
Speaker 1: In any of those I did see some people complaining

374
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 1: about the ESPN audio. I don't know what was happening.

375
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:46,800
Speaker 1: Maybe they had their mixes wrong or something like that.

376
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 2: Again, but speaking of our vision though, kudos to ESPN

377
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:54,920
Speaker 2: for that cool sort of shot chart. It showed the

378
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:59,679
Speaker 2: the shot makes actual player, Yeah, the player on the

379
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 2: spot instead of just x'es and o's. Yeah.

380
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:04,159
Speaker 1: It was like the actual motion of the shot of

381
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 1: the player. Yeah. I guess that was so. There was

382
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 1: a whole second feed, insight feed. I guess this is

383
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 1: like was this is Legler and Kurt? Okay, maybe that

384
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:18,600
Speaker 1: was better if the audio was better on that one.

385
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:21,600
Speaker 1: Those guys are smart. What else you got from this?

386
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:24,639
Speaker 1: I mean, we literally just like to make this a

387
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:27,480
Speaker 1: competitive series. They're gonna have to hit some shots and

388
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:29,760
Speaker 1: maybe take care of the ball because and you said

389
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:32,640
Speaker 1: about Randall, like Randall did he like he was keeping

390
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:34,119
Speaker 1: them in it once again, or had them in the

391
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 1: lead in the first half points he had five threes.

392
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 1: He then then he was like pump faking threes in

393
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:43,159
Speaker 1: the corner that Hertenstein had to commit to, putting it

394
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:45,000
Speaker 1: on the ground getting to the line. He was good

395
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:47,359
Speaker 1: until he wasn't. Like he disappeared in the second half.

396
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:50,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, eight points in the second half. I mean he

397
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:51,960
Speaker 2: needed help.

398
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 1: Some of those were Yeah, it was sort of too late,

399
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:58,120
Speaker 1: but I guess besides, keep take care of the ball

400
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:01,400
Speaker 1: and hit some threes. Like is there anything else you're

401
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:03,399
Speaker 1: seeing here from Minnesota? Or I guess what I'm getting

402
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 1: as what you saw after forty eight minutes are you're like, ooh,

403
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:09,880
Speaker 1: this could be a quick series and they're just outclassless team.

404
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:13,439
Speaker 4: They scored eighty eight points, so that sounds like a yes,

405
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:16,440
Speaker 4: forty eight points. They were completely outclassed in this game.

406
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:18,680
Speaker 4: Anthony Edwards has to be a lot better. He needs

407
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 4: to do something. He didn't do anything in the second half.

408
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:23,719
Speaker 4: Randal has to be a lot better. He played one

409
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:25,959
Speaker 4: good half and then took one shot out.

410
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:29,160
Speaker 3: Believe in the third quarter. Yeh could look completely flustered.

411
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:31,359
Speaker 4: Scored a little bit at the end to kind of

412
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:33,679
Speaker 4: save his night, but he didn't do anything in the

413
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 4: second half. So they're gonna have to figure out how

414
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:38,679
Speaker 4: they can attack out of these double teams, because okayc

415
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:41,159
Speaker 4: is gonna make it impossible for ant to get clean looks.

416
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:43,600
Speaker 4: They're gonna have him seeing multiple bodies. They're gonna be

417
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 4: daring all these guys who bricked threes in game one

418
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,479
Speaker 4: to shoot him again in game two. So absolutely they

419
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:51,439
Speaker 4: have to be confident, but also they need to be

420
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:54,960
Speaker 4: put in positions where Randall and Anthony Edwards are involved

421
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 4: in the same action. So when the ball gets out

422
00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,360
Speaker 4: of Edwards's hands, it's to Randall's hands with a chance

423
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:02,480
Speaker 4: to make a play rather than trying to get the

424
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:04,920
Speaker 4: ball back to Julius Randall on the other side. Because

425
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:07,440
Speaker 4: when he's catching the ball and he's thinking and he's

426
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:10,200
Speaker 4: taking his time going against the ok see defense, they

427
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 4: just see a gigantic, juicy steak and they're ready to

428
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 4: go eating like a Looney Tunes character. I don't know

429
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:19,080
Speaker 4: which one it was, but which one over one is

430
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:21,640
Speaker 4: most after those stakes, that's okay. See when they see

431
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:24,440
Speaker 4: Julius Randall pounding the ball when he's catching the ball

432
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:27,200
Speaker 4: and doing something immediately like he was in the first half,

433
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:30,200
Speaker 4: not thinking about it. He played awesome, So he needs

434
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 4: to be able to play some more automatic basketball, I think,

435
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:36,800
Speaker 4: and Edwards needs to amp up his level of intensity.

436
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:38,879
Speaker 4: He didn't really do much in the second half. Maybe

437
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:40,679
Speaker 4: healing for a couple of days will help him out.

438
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 4: He's usually a pretty indestructible player, but this was a

439
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 4: disappointing effort I thought from Anthony Edwards rarely getting inside

440
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 4: the Oka See defense.

441
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:52,080
Speaker 2: Oh absolutely, it felt like we're flashing back to Game

442
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 2: one of the Golden State series where Anthony Edwards couldn't

443
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:59,480
Speaker 2: hit a shot from inside at all. I mean, he's

444
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 2: been pretty poor the entire playoffs shooting at the rim,

445
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:06,239
Speaker 2: but in that game, same amount of points that they

446
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:09,119
Speaker 2: scored tonight eighty eight points for the Minnesota timber Wolves.

447
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:13,640
Speaker 2: That being said, it doesn't feel like, okay See can

448
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:18,199
Speaker 2: play worse. Almost they didn't. They did not feel like.

449
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 2: It did not feel like them for an entire half.

450
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:23,280
Speaker 1: They played two good quarters. Yeah, arguably not even like

451
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 1: as the game got out of hand, it was like, yeah,

452
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 1: they played they played great basketball for twenty minutes, Yeah,

453
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:30,120
Speaker 1: and ran away with this one.

454
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 2: Yeah. Minnesota made to make a run from the get go,

455
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:36,040
Speaker 2: and there was a lot of opportunity to do that

456
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:37,919
Speaker 2: in the first and second quarters, but they did.

457
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:40,879
Speaker 4: Not limning threes. Did they make in the first half?

458
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:42,720
Speaker 4: Did they make ten threes in the first half? I

459
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 4: think yeah, they were at least a close. Maybe us

460
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 4: Randall had five himself. And look, they scored forty eight points.

461
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:50,920
Speaker 4: They had ten threes and scored forty eight points. That's

462
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 4: gonna be a problem. They're gonna have to figure out

463
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 4: a way to get close to one ten.

464
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, looting Tune's character, you might be thinking of maybe

465
00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:01,720
Speaker 1: with the steak, could it be Spike who Spike the dog?

466

Speaker 2: seth Sesame Street, Spike and Julius Randall. Spike. I just

471
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:29,080

472
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 1: Your mind is bouncing around, well.

475
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:49,080
Speaker 2: Cuthor Park originally anyway, the Minnesota Timberwolves and I suppose

476
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:51,880
Speaker 2: they feel like we can recover after a bad game

477
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:54,480
Speaker 2: one they did against Golden State Wars. They lost Game one,

478
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:57,480
Speaker 2: they scored eighty eight points. But this is a very

479
00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:02,359
Speaker 2: much better team in Okay again, who had had a

480
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:05,119
Speaker 2: bad game and they did not look like themselves until

481
00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:08,120
Speaker 2: they turned it on. This is this is just this

482
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 2: is far better than the Golden State Warriors. Uh.

483
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:14,840
Speaker 1: Any random notes from a very funny game one at

484

Speaker 1: I won't be back for the second game.

489
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:31,640
Speaker 2: I'll continue the docs. Actually, our server said that your

Speaker 2: face reminded her of her uncle Chrisket She's She just

491
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:39,639
Speaker 2: literally said, you look like my uncle Chris.

492
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:43,680
Speaker 1: She was with my uncle Chris. And then I said, oh,

00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:46,760
Speaker 1: is he a cool uncle? She goes, yeah, I don't

494
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 1: stay in touch with him, but he is cool. That's good.

495
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:52,880
Speaker 1: And then she goes, he lives in Atlanta. And then

496
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:58,200
Speaker 1: we all were like, what, I live in Atlanta? Am

00:23:58,240 --> 00:23:58,960

Speaker 2: Yeah, A backhanded compliment to Chris. He's cool. I haven't

500
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:05,200
Speaker 2: talked to him years.

501
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 1: The best part of the best part of our doing experience.

502
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:14,960
Speaker 1: Dave Defour ordering hummus, Dave Defour ordering NBA daily and

503
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:17,120
Speaker 1: then took down a plate of hummus and then ordered

504
00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:20,440
Speaker 1: fish and chips. Look, he's coming from the West coast,

505
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 1: hadn't had a lot.

506
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:23,520
Speaker 3: To eat and snack yet.

507
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 1: But you know, yeah, I guess that was the appetizer.

508
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:28,120
Speaker 1: The plate of hummus beautiful.

509
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:33,080
Speaker 4: We're talking carrots, cucumbers, and and dive, not to mention

510
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 4: pita chips.

511
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 2: The dives sticking out like like a picket fence in

512
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:40,960
Speaker 2: that hummus.

513
00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 1: That's a good way to put it.

514
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:47,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, upright, all right, we had a little bit of

515
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:48,040
Speaker 2: an issue there.

516
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:52,879
Speaker 4: I like, I don't know, we were gone, you're you're

517
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:53,920
Speaker 4: luckily blocked from Ash.

518
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:54,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you could.

519
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:57,360
Speaker 4: You couldn't see that the pandemonium going on.

520
00:24:57,760 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 3: Just over his shoulder.

521
00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:00,879
Speaker 4: I can tell where maybe be rambling a bit here

522
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:03,520
Speaker 4: because Ashes cut too gigantic.

523
00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:06,720
Speaker 1: That when we're doing the show.

524
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:09,159
Speaker 3: I really felt like we were killing it when Ashes

525
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:09,600
Speaker 3: over here.

526
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:15,120
Speaker 1: My goodness, but we're back now.

527
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:20,320
Speaker 4: The way the night is ending us with us three

528
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:22,919
Speaker 4: just loud to get bed here. I think it's fitting

529
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 4: that the game started with shake kills with Alexander's he

530
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:28,440
Speaker 4: was basically in cuddle mote as well.

531
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:31,240
Speaker 1: He was watching they were watching film and he was

532
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 1: lying like this on the ground watching Marques. He's like, oh, yeah,

533
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:37,320
Speaker 1: let's see that run that back mark. Yeah, nice play.

534
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 1: I guess we can defend that better. Yeah, he was chill. Well,

535
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:43,760
Speaker 1: things are falling apart now. And uh, my final note

536
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 1: was Jimmy Goldstein was there.

537
00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:46,080
Speaker 3: Jimmy was there.

538
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 1: He was dressed in all white. From what I could tell,

539
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:51,720
Speaker 1: crowd was wearing white because they're wearing the white T shirts.

540
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:52,679
Speaker 1: Do you think he planned that?

541
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:56,359
Speaker 4: I bet I've got actually the opposite. I bet Jimmy

542
00:25:56,400 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 4: Goldstein I agree, and he's like, he's wearing white. Yeah,

543
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:02,159
Speaker 4: I should have warned my black and gold.

544
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:05,960
Speaker 1: I thought the exact same thing. He was like, damn it.

545
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:08,680
Speaker 4: Do I have enough time to change? I don't know

546
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:11,680
Speaker 4: if I brought my other leather hat. I think it's

547
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:14,120
Speaker 4: unfair that ESPN kept putting up the graphic that said

548
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 4: Battle of the Cousins between shake Yill Just Alexander and

549
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 4: Nikhil Alexander Walker. Look, we know who's gonna win the

550
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:22,360
Speaker 4: scoring battle pretty much every single one of these.

551
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:25,719
Speaker 1: But it is cool that their cousins. You think they

552
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:27,040
Speaker 1: leaned into that a little too much.

553
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:30,320
Speaker 4: Well, I just think it's doing Nikiel a little bit

554
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:32,399
Speaker 4: of a disservice, like they're pitching it.

555
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:32,960
Speaker 3: Well, I don't know.

556
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:35,880
Speaker 4: Once again, we're only seeing it with our eyes. We're

557
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 4: only tapped in with that one sense. But it does

558
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:41,520
Speaker 4: feel like, hey, look, these two guys should be going

559
00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:44,760
Speaker 4: at each other, and we all know that Nikhil's out

560
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:47,240
Speaker 4: up there to stop shake Yill just Alexander from scoring

561
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 4: more than anything, which he also didn't do. So what

562
00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:52,959
Speaker 4: I'm saying is, we don't have to pit these two

563
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:53,720
Speaker 4: against each other.

564
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:55,840
Speaker 2: It's just show us the picture.

565
00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 1: All right. I wonder if maybe they're like, okay, they

566
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 1: like get that all out in game one. Maybe you

567
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:03,480
Speaker 1: know what I mean, It's like, okay, now everybody knows

568
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:06,359
Speaker 1: their cousins, it's over all right. Well that's game one.

569
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:09,080
Speaker 1: That's all I got, and uh, you know, turn into

570
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:11,720
Speaker 1: a blowout. It was entertaining there for a good three

571
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:17,520
Speaker 1: quarters or so. But okay, se wins one fourteen eighty eight. Okay, Guffy,

572
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:19,399
Speaker 1: hold on, hold on, hold on, let me close my

573
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 1: eyes for a second.

574
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:24,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, in defense for rash and it's now seeing you

575
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:26,400
Speaker 2: lie that. It's been a long day.

576
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:28,400
Speaker 1: It has been a long day. We did a podcast
