Speaker 1: Welcoming into NBA Pulse, the production of iHeartRadio in the NBA.
Speaker 1: I'm Sarahustak, NBA analyst for the Yes Network, and today
Speaker 1: is Friday, May twenty fourth. From our extraordinary court group
Speaker 1: of NBA journalists. We're joined now by NBA dot Com
Speaker 1: Senior writer John.
Speaker 2: Schuman and Oh Shoe.
Speaker 1: Indiana had an opportunity that they threw away in Game
Speaker 1: one at Boston, and in Game two, the Celtics took
Speaker 1: care of business one twenty six to one ten win
Speaker 1: against the Pacers last night.
Speaker 2: Pascal Siakam had.
Speaker 1: Twenty eight points for Indiana, But probably more concerning for
Speaker 1: the Pacers is that Tyrese Haliburton left with that hamstring injury.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be interesting to see. We were talking about
Speaker 1: this just a little bit before the podcast. Actually injured
Speaker 1: that same hamstring against the Celtics in January, had missed
Speaker 1: ten games, was on a minutes restriction when he came back.
Speaker 1: That's obviously something that had been a point of just
Speaker 1: kind of conversation and observation in how he was playing
Speaker 1: the latter part of the season, and so steal no
Speaker 1: update to this point as to what his status is,
Speaker 1: but the major factor in what Indiana will be able
Speaker 1: to do with or without him in the series. On
Speaker 1: the other side of things, Jalen Brown was spectacular. He
Speaker 1: had forty points twenty four in the first half. And
Speaker 1: all NBA teams came out prior to the game, Jalen
Speaker 1: Brown was not on them, So whether that added a
Speaker 1: little bit of extra motivation, we'll discuss those all NBA
Speaker 1: teams as you are a voter, later on in the show.
Speaker 1: But Boston was great and overall they did a lot
Speaker 1: of the things in terms of balance that they needed
Speaker 1: to do to take care of their home court as
Speaker 1: the series will now return back to Indiana. But with
Speaker 1: all that being said, a Boston team that I know,
Speaker 1: there's been a lot of just thoughts perspective on how
Speaker 1: they've been winning, how they've been playing, the belief in
Speaker 1: them despite the fact they were so far ahead of
Speaker 1: the pack throughout the course of the regular season. What
Speaker 1: did you take away from that win in Game.
Speaker 3: Twotistic Statistically, it was actually a slightly worse defensive game
Speaker 3: for the Celtics than Game one. Obviously there was some
Speaker 3: garbage time thrown in, you know, Thursday night, but I
Speaker 3: thought offensively they were just much more purposeful, and that
Speaker 3: purpose was basically attacking Tyrese Haliburton, you know, from like
Speaker 3: sort of the middle of the first quarter until Haliburton
Speaker 3: got hurt if he was on the floor, like three
Speaker 3: out of every four possessions, it was, you know, Haliburton's
Speaker 3: guy setting a screen for Jason Tatum or Haliburton's guy
Speaker 3: setting a screen for Jalen Brown, or Jason Tatum setting
Speaker 3: a screen for Haliburton's guy, or Brown setting a screen
Speaker 3: for haliburton guy. That was it was like basically their
Speaker 3: offense was, all right, who's gonna set the screen? Where
Speaker 3: are we going to set it? That's just the point
Speaker 3: is put Tyrese Haliburton in the action, make him work.
Speaker 3: I thought it worked pretty well. You know, he it
Speaker 3: created some open shots for Dark White. Let's say, if
Speaker 3: if if White was setting the screen, Haliburton would try
Speaker 3: to you know, hedge the pick and try to scramble back,
Speaker 3: and if he didn't scramble back in time, he had
Speaker 3: an open three. Or if he was rotating, you know,
Speaker 3: you could sort of attack the attack the rotation. And
Speaker 3: I thought that was just like the main my main
Speaker 3: takeaway from that game is they just attacked him almost
Speaker 3: every possession down the floor. And it was on one
Speaker 3: of those possessions, I think it was his man setting
Speaker 3: a screen for Tatum where he hurt reinjured his hamstring.
Speaker 3: He was trying to scramble back and I don't know
Speaker 3: when he pivoted something, you know, he tweaked something in
Speaker 3: the leg and so that was it. And then shoot,
Speaker 3: when when Halibert was out, they just turned dot, So
Speaker 3: who are we gonna pick on? Next? It was Ben
Speaker 3: Sheppard and then it was Doug McDermott. You know, Doug
Speaker 3: McDermott got got in the game, and it's like, all right,
Speaker 3: he's the guy, you know, and we're gonna start attacking him.
Speaker 3: He's his man is going to set all these screens
Speaker 3: and so I and I feel like that's I mean,
Speaker 3: that's what the Celtics have been doing for years. Like
Speaker 3: when they are seriously purposeful, it's not about like this
Speaker 3: flowing offense. It's what, you know, what defender can we
Speaker 3: attack with? What what matchup do we want? And and no,
Speaker 3: it's not doesn't necessarily have to turn into an isolation
Speaker 3: because if like it, like I said, I, if Haliburton
Speaker 3: is sort of blitzing and then trying to recover. Well,
Speaker 3: then the ball can move and they can drive and
Speaker 3: kick from there and eventually get an open shot. It
Speaker 3: doesn't have to see, it doesn't have to be like,
Speaker 3: all right, let's just get a switch and then isolate
Speaker 3: and let Jay, you know, Tatum and Brown do their thing.
Speaker 3: Although there was some of that, I think and Brown,
Speaker 3: you know, part of Brown's performance was some some tough
Speaker 3: shots in isolation, but I thought they were, like, you know,
Speaker 3: they were just much more purposeful offensively in game two
Speaker 3: than they were in Game one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know, in saying all those things, I
Speaker 1: think too, the question will be Indiana has been excellent
Speaker 1: at home. They haven't lost yet at home. Shoot, you
Speaker 1: are going to Indiana. So will the Pacers be able
Speaker 1: to pull out some of that magic? We saw them
Speaker 1: shooting extraordinary in doing so in that Game one victory
Speaker 1: as well.
Speaker 2: Last night they came down to earth a little bit.
Speaker 1: You're talking about the Boston defense thirty eight percent from
Speaker 1: the three point line, fifty two from the field. Joe
Speaker 1: Mizoula did bring oshae Zett off the bench, facing his
Speaker 1: former team and going small and in some of those
Speaker 1: things trying to help along with it. But do you
Speaker 1: think this series is over? Is this is going to
Speaker 1: be a sweep by the Celtics.
Speaker 3: I won't say. I won't. I will never have that
Speaker 3: strong of opinion about stuff. Something I don't know, but
Speaker 3: I would say, yeah, I think if you were to,
Speaker 3: I would favor the Celtics going forward in every game
Speaker 3: going forward, especially if Haliburton is one unavailable or two
Speaker 3: just not himself. I mean, we saw during much of
Speaker 3: the second half of the season where he was not
Speaker 3: one hundred percent and his offense wasn't you know, it
Speaker 3: just wasn't the same, and it seemed like he was
Speaker 3: finally getting his legs back in these last you know,
Speaker 3: in these last few weeks, and so it really stinks that,
Speaker 3: you know, he he've reinjured the same hamstring. And as
Speaker 3: much as they picked on him on the defensive end
Speaker 3: of the floor, the Pacers need him offensively to sort
Speaker 3: of push the They have t J. McConnell, but they
Speaker 3: need two of those guards basically to push the ball
Speaker 3: up the floor and get their offense moving, you know,
Speaker 3: pick and roll and then go from there. And so yeah,
Speaker 3: it would be a tough task for the Pacers to
Speaker 3: sort of Pacers offense to continue at the pace it's
Speaker 3: been at the last few games. If Haliburton is either
Speaker 3: unavailable or or or not you know, not himself. You know,
Speaker 3: I think Brissette was in there because Luke Cornett got hurt,
Speaker 3: and so yeah, I think the Celtics now were down
Speaker 3: to you know, Al Horford being their only big, assuming
Speaker 3: that Kristaps Porzingis is not coming back in the next game.
Speaker 3: So there's something there, you know. I don't know if
Speaker 3: if the Pacers can try to exploit Boston on the glass.
Speaker 3: Boston's been a very good defensive rebounding team in the playoffs,
Speaker 3: but that might be their the sort of only hope
Speaker 3: or not not only hope. But one way they can
Speaker 3: try to make up for what they've lost is is
Speaker 3: try to crash the glass and turn into the Knicks
Speaker 3: almost because they could do that. Isaiah Jackson is a
Speaker 3: really active big and really good on the glass, so
Speaker 3: I think that's one way they could try to adjust.
Speaker 1: I think the Pacers get one at home. I think
Speaker 1: we've seen it from Boston. I do think that Boston
Speaker 1: will ultimately take the series. I think a lot will
Speaker 1: be riding on the health of Tyre's Halliburton. But I
Speaker 1: have a hard time thinking that the Pacers won't find
Speaker 1: a way, whether because of Boston or whether some hot
Speaker 1: shooting in just the fast paced of prenetic nature that
Speaker 1: Indiana can tend to play with and find a way
Speaker 1: to get one back at home. But I think they
Speaker 1: have been so good there and I think there's moments
Speaker 1: that the Celtics that level and sense of urgency and
Speaker 1: maybe understandably so, just isn't always there throughout the course
Speaker 1: of the series. So I do think I would maybe
Speaker 1: predict a gentleman sweep off of this one. But on
Speaker 1: the flip side of things, I think we got a
Speaker 1: long series in the Western Conference on the way Dallas
Speaker 1: stealing the first game on the road at Minnesota one
Speaker 1: five victory against the Timberwolves team, and it was really
Speaker 1: it was fun to watch these two teams going back
Speaker 1: and forth, but more so just the strategy behind it,
Speaker 1: some of the game planning Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic,
Speaker 1: I think when that trade was made, and just kind
Speaker 1: of watching them and some of the injuries that played
Speaker 1: in the fact they didn't spend a lot of time
Speaker 1: on the floor together last season. You are seeing the
Speaker 1: I think, kind of the ideal way of the hope
Speaker 1: of what they would be together. And early on in
Speaker 1: the game, Kyrie Irvin set the tone twenty four points
Speaker 1: of his thirty in that first half, Luka Doncic closing
Speaker 1: things off. He finishes with thirty three, six and eight,
Speaker 1: a couple of nice defensive stops to close out the game.
Speaker 1: But it was more about what they did to Minnesota.
Speaker 1: Minnesota taking forty nine three point shots, making just eighteen
Speaker 1: of those, and Jade Daniels ended up being the leading
Speaker 1: scorer for Minnesota with twenty four points. In some ways
Speaker 1: kept Anthony Edwards in check and I think a lot
Speaker 1: of that too. Just you saw it, and he set
Speaker 1: it out after the game. Timber Wolves a minute after
Speaker 1: the game, they were tired, and they looked at they
Speaker 1: looked fatigue and how they were playing. They will play
Speaker 1: against nikere at Minnesota at a thirty pm Eastern on TNT.
Speaker 1: What is your expectation of what happens here in Minnesota
Speaker 1: based on what you saw in game one?
Speaker 3: That's a good question. I I mean, yeah, I would
Speaker 3: certainly face or favor the Wolves. I think I put
Speaker 3: picked the Wolves to win the series at the start,
Speaker 3: so I would favor them in Game two. I'll be
Speaker 3: very curious to see how Rudy Gobaert defends, you know,
Speaker 3: the pick and roll. You know, for the most part,
Speaker 3: when they were running high pick and roll in Game one,
Speaker 3: he was in drop coverage and it sort of worked
Speaker 3: for the most part of the first half. Luka Dancic
Speaker 3: wasn't hitting his his sort of mid range and short
Speaker 3: mid range shots. Kyrie Irving kept the MAVs in that game.
Speaker 3: In game yeah, in the first half, and a lot
Speaker 3: of it was transition, I think. So like number one
Speaker 3: for the Wolves is like, let's be better in transition
Speaker 3: and try to get in front of Kyrie Irving. And
Speaker 3: that's that's a big sort of theme with the MAVs,
Speaker 3: is they were just a slow team prior to his arrival.
Speaker 3: In fact, like they saw the second biggest jump in
Speaker 3: transition points per game from last season to this season
Speaker 3: obviously his first full season in Dallas, and a lot
Speaker 3: of that's just him, like he's he's a guy who
Speaker 3: will get out and go and obviously has stuff in
Speaker 3: his bag in those transition possessions where he can if
Speaker 3: he's if it's one on one or even one on two,
Speaker 3: he can score. And Don has been better this season
Speaker 3: about passing ahead. And there was one incredible in that
Speaker 3: first half, incredible lead pass from Don Chits to Irving
Speaker 3: on one of those breaks. So I think number was.
Speaker 1: It off a make there It felt like there was
Speaker 1: I don't know, I think I could visualize one year
Speaker 1: that I turned my head and I was like, I
Speaker 1: don't even know how he got down the floor and
Speaker 1: you can see, but there was a couple that felt
Speaker 1: like they were off makes and Minnesota was just surprised
Speaker 1: they had a nice three point shot or they had
Speaker 1: a big make and yeah and before you know, when
Speaker 1: a flash, Dallas is on the other end.
Speaker 3: Yeah, continue, Yeah, Number one, ye be better in transition
Speaker 3: and they cut down, so you know, Dallas won by
Speaker 3: three and they were I think there were plus eight
Speaker 3: in transition points. I think it was twenty nine to
Speaker 3: twenty one. So obviously be better in transition. And then
Speaker 3: and the drop coverage sort of it was Doncic just
Speaker 3: started getting going in the second half with that where
Speaker 3: he was you know, he got the screen, he was
Speaker 3: able to keep Jalen McDaniels on his hip, excuse me,
Speaker 3: Jaden McDaniels on his hip, and Gobert was more you know,
Speaker 3: they got a couple of lobs behind Gobert, and so
Speaker 3: after that he was sort of more, you know, retreating
Speaker 3: towards the role man. And then Doncic was able to
Speaker 3: get into you know, short step back jumpers, twelve foot
Speaker 3: fifteen foot jumpers. They did that with Gobert, you know,
Speaker 3: sort of in the high pick and roll. They were different.
Speaker 3: When Karl Anthony Towns was defending the pick, they blitzed
Speaker 3: right like they had him blitz the pick and roll
Speaker 3: take the ball out of the ball andler's hands. They
Speaker 3: also blitzed every time when there's a pick and roll
Speaker 3: on the sideline, and those I thought were ended up
Speaker 3: with better results for the Wolves. You know, Doncis would
Speaker 3: pass the ball and the Wolves turned the ball over
Speaker 3: a lot in those situations. You know, we saw a
Speaker 3: turnover peep from PJ. Washington, town stripped him. There was
Speaker 3: a late turnover from Derek Lively where he got the
Speaker 3: ball on the roll. Mike Conley came late with help
Speaker 3: and Lively traveled. That was like an adjustment like late
Speaker 3: possession where Gobert blitzed at the top and Lively got
Speaker 3: the ball and traveled. So I think maybe they make
Speaker 3: it up a little bit. I think it's a sort
Speaker 3: of a pick your poison situation. It's not like if
Speaker 3: you blitz, the maps don't know what to do, right,
Speaker 3: Like they've seen everything this year, so they're they're gonna
Speaker 3: be able to just Doncic is willing to get off
Speaker 3: the ball. They have other guys. But I think Minnesota
Speaker 3: has to decide, you know, do we want Doncic to
Speaker 3: keep the ball or do we want him to get
Speaker 3: rid of the ball. Like that's basically decision number one
Speaker 3: when it comes to Dallas's half court offense, and they
Speaker 3: just have to be better. I think you just have
Speaker 3: to be good in rotations. I think they're capable, They're
Speaker 3: they're long. I think they're a smart defensive team, so
Speaker 3: they are sort of capable of sort of blitzing and
Speaker 3: then rotating from there. They just have to make sure
Speaker 3: that the guy we if we're blitzing Luka Doncics, we're
Speaker 3: not leaving you know, Kyrie Irving isn't the guy we're
Speaker 3: leaving open, right, Or if we blitz Kyrie Irving. Luka
Speaker 3: Doncic isn't the guy we're leaving over it. They did
Speaker 3: that once where they blitzed Irving and like two passes away,
Speaker 3: Luka Doncic's got a I open three. I think it
Speaker 3: was in the first half. He missed it, but it
Speaker 3: was like, yeah, that's not the you know, let's let's
Speaker 3: you know, let it be Derek Jones Junior and not
Speaker 3: Luka Doncics that we're leaving open as a result of this,
Speaker 3: you know, defensive coverage.
Speaker 1: Well, it feels it feels easier said than done, too though,
Speaker 1: just with the way in which he reads and picks
Speaker 1: apart things and sees things seemingly a step ahead of everything.
Speaker 2: Shoot, who do you got tonight?
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, I would. I would favor the Wolves
Speaker 3: just because they're at home. I think they're a really
Speaker 3: good team. I think they can be better defensively than
Speaker 3: they were in Game one. They can also be better offensively.
Speaker 3: Like you said it, like Anthony Edwards, he just didn't
Speaker 3: attack very much. And I think if that was fatigue,
Speaker 3: if it was you know, him just sort of reading
Speaker 3: the Dallas defense, and I don't, you know, I don't
Speaker 3: think they were double teaming him, but they were shading
Speaker 3: towards him right like if he's got the ball at
Speaker 3: the top, they were shading and obviously very willing to
Speaker 3: leave Kylie Anderson open. He's on the floor. I think
Speaker 3: some other guys got some open shots, but I think
Speaker 3: they obviously did not want him to, you know, get
Speaker 3: into the paint and get to the basket. And so
Speaker 3: it's as much about you know, the other defenders on
Speaker 3: the floor as the guy who's in front of front
Speaker 3: of Edwards, which is going to be Derek Jones Jr.
Speaker 3: And that's you know, that's a lot of length obviously.
Speaker 3: So yeah, I think Minnesota's got to sort of find
Speaker 3: a way to get Edwards into the paint and towards
Speaker 3: the basket, whether that be with with scheme or just
Speaker 3: him being a little bit more aggressive.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm taking Minnesota tonight. I don't think they dropped
Speaker 1: to here at home, and I do think there's changes, tweets,
Speaker 1: adjustments that they will be able to make. I'm sure
Speaker 1: the two they were they were riding high with a
Speaker 1: lot of emotions, and there's a lot goes into them
Speaker 1: winning that game seven against Denverse. So I think with
Speaker 1: that turnaround. I think we're going to see a different
Speaker 1: team here in Minnesota tonight. We're gonna take freak and
Speaker 1: come back with the all NBA teams. Welcome back to
Speaker 1: the NBA, Paul, Sarah Whustak, joined by the great John
Speaker 1: Schuman and Shoe I'm curious how your voting ballot stacked
Speaker 1: up with the way things shake shook out. For all
Speaker 1: NBA had mentioned, Jalen Brown left off of it despite
Speaker 1: the fact he was on probably last year. More important
Speaker 1: for him is it helped allow him to sign the
Speaker 1: richest contract at the time of NBA history. But first
Speaker 1: team you got Giannis Luca Sga Jokic and Jason Tatum,
Speaker 1: and second team Jalen Brunson, Anthony Davis, Kevin Durant, Anthony Edwards,
Speaker 1: and Kawhi Leonard. And then rounding out the third team
Speaker 1: Kevin Booker, Curry, Tyres Halliburton, Lebron James, and Demona Sibonis.
Speaker 1: Is there any I guess different on your ballot or
Speaker 1: ones that you felt strongly about that you voted for
Speaker 1: that weren't.
Speaker 2: The same as how it all shook out.
Speaker 3: Only slight differences. I had fourteen of the fifteen guys
Speaker 3: on my list were the same. My only difference was
Speaker 3: I had Jalen Brunson instead of Jason Tatum on the
Speaker 3: first team. The rest of my second team was the same,
Speaker 3: Davis Durant, Leonard and Edwards, and then on third team
Speaker 3: I had Rudy Gobert instead of Stephen Curry. Ends. Okay, yeah,
Speaker 3: you know I and I get it. I have no
Speaker 3: problem with the way anybody else votes. But for me,
Speaker 3: if you're the clear defensive player of the year, like
Speaker 3: that's and you're not like a complete liability on offense,
Speaker 3: which I don't think he is. That's thirteen All NBA
Speaker 3: like defenses half of the game. And you know, like,
Speaker 3: so if you're the defensive player of the year, how
Speaker 3: are you not you know, a third team All NBA
Speaker 3: at the least. So that that was it for me.
Speaker 3: I didn't have Brown. I know, he was definitely one
Speaker 3: of the you know, twenty five players I considered, and
Speaker 3: probably was one of the very last cuts on my
Speaker 3: list for obvious reasons. You know, just a terrific two
Speaker 3: way player. But I think he you know, as far
Speaker 3: as the numbers, his numbers just weren't as good this
Speaker 3: year as they were last year. That's not necessarily his fault.
Speaker 3: I mean they had a better team. They had more,
Speaker 3: you know, a stronger sort of top you know, starting
Speaker 3: lineup from top to bottom than they did they had
Speaker 3: last year. You look at like Drew Holliday even like
Speaker 3: took a huge you know cut in his numbers, you know,
Speaker 3: his he saw like basically one of the biggest drops
Speaker 3: in USA Drake from year to year in the league.
Speaker 3: So that's just the way that you know, like they
Speaker 3: were a great team. And yeah, you'd think, you know,
Speaker 3: how did the Lakers get two guys on All NBA
Speaker 3: and the Celtics don't, But it's just, you know, it's
Speaker 3: basically because they had five six great players, right Like,
Speaker 3: it was a lot of balance.
Speaker 2: Lakers got.
Speaker 1: Lakers get two guys on All NBA, Phoenix gets two
Speaker 1: guys All NBA. Last quick question in regards to that
Speaker 1: with Boston, I think that always becomes the discussion with
Speaker 1: how seemingly stacked they are and how that affects. Did
Speaker 1: you have you said you had Brunson ahead of Tatum
Speaker 1: there in first team? What was your MVP balloting? Did
Speaker 1: you have Tatum ahead of Brunson in your in your
Speaker 1: top five or was he on your ballot?
Speaker 3: No, my MVP was basically the same as my first team,
Speaker 3: so it was one.
Speaker 2: I like that. I like that.
Speaker 1: I heard from some voters that they they kind of
Speaker 1: heads their bet on both of them, so they had
Speaker 1: Tatum ahead of Brunson for first team or for MVP
Speaker 1: and vice versa. Four. But yeah, it's I I tell you,
Speaker 1: that's one of the hard I think it shows just
Speaker 1: how robust the talent and skill in level of play
Speaker 1: is in this league with these discussions we could have,
Speaker 1: And that is one of the hardest jobs I will
Speaker 1: give you of having to decide decide because it's it's
Speaker 1: such small, small margins of things and details that you
Speaker 1: can look at.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's it's it's it's a you know, it's
Speaker 3: a privilege to to to vote for these things, but yeah,
Speaker 3: it is is work. In fact, I don't like it
Speaker 3: when I'm asked, like three weeks before the end of
Speaker 3: the season or four weeks for the end of season,
Speaker 3: like who's your who's your what's your m VV fee ballot,
Speaker 3: And I'm like, I have no idea, I have to
Speaker 3: I need like two or three days to sit with
Speaker 3: it before I can like give you a list. If
Speaker 3: I were to give you a list, it would be
Speaker 3: very sort of shallow analysis if I do it like
Speaker 3: three weeks before the end of the season. But if
Speaker 3: but like at the end of the season, Yeah, you
Speaker 3: have the opportunity to sort of sit down for a
Speaker 3: couple of days and really think about it. And yeah,
Speaker 3: I think for me, the criteria for MVP and First
Speaker 3: Team All NBA was basically the same, you know, and
Speaker 3: I do look at value and like value to you know,
Speaker 3: the player's team. You know, how important was that player
Speaker 3: to his team? And that's where I think I guess
Speaker 3: Brunson gets the edge over Tatum because he's obviously a
Speaker 3: little bit more important to the Knicks than Tatum is
Speaker 3: to the Celtics, just because they have, you know, so
Speaker 3: many more players. There's so much more depth and at
Speaker 3: least with Brown and a little bit Derek White, guys
Speaker 3: who can replicate his skills a little bit.
Speaker 2: I'm with you on that. I'm with you on all that.
Speaker 2: And shoo, we got a fun series ahead.
Speaker 1: As I mentioned, Minnesota Dallas tonight a thirty pm Eastern
Speaker 1: on TNT. Tomorrow will be Game three at Indiana a
Speaker 1: thirty pm Eastern on ABC between Celtics and the Pacers.
Speaker 2: H Safe travels to Indy. I don't think you're there yet.
Speaker 2: Safe travels to Indy.
Speaker 1: And we'll continue reading, watching, and of course talk with
Speaker 1: you really soon.
Speaker 3: All right, Thanks Sarah.
