47
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 1: exploded for forty one points as the Bucks snatched their

48
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 1: first win of the NBA Finals, their first finals win

49
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 1: since nineteen seventy four, one twenty one hundred in the

50
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 1: Game three victory over the Suns. We got ourselves a

51
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:32,799
Speaker 1: series task. Where do you want to get started from

52
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 1: this pretty dominant Milwaukee win.

53
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 3: Well, let's just start it with yanisatakopo forty one and thirteen,

54
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 3: forty and ten in consecutive finals games. Not many have

55
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 3: done it. Only MJ and Shack, that's it, and forty

56
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 3: and ten the rebound department. Only Shack has done it.

57
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:51,839
Speaker 3: And I think the key for the Bucks is they're

58
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:55,839
Speaker 3: finally starting to treat Yanni's exclusively like a big man.

59
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:59,079
Speaker 3: I mean, just get him in the post, get him

60
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,360
Speaker 3: in pick and roll sits where it's really hard to cover.

61
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 3: And I think the Bucks are just trying to are

62
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 3: starting to understand that this is the way we're going

63
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:08,640
Speaker 3: to get him going. And you see how much Yannis

64
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 3: has improved in the post. He's making really really quick

65
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:15,360
Speaker 3: decisions that it's not hey, just calm down, you know, Shack, like,

66
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 3: get him in the post and figure it out. They're

67
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 3: being smart about it. They have an action on one side,

68
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 3: and then you got Yannis with a bunch of duck

69
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 3: ins on the other side, and so he's quick hitting

70
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 3: and Yannie has worked on his footwork in there and

71
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 3: the little push shots, the little semi hooks, a little

72
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,080
Speaker 3: dinks and dumps that are happening down there, and then

73
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 3: the pick and roll. So it's it's difficult to guard.

74
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 3: But what really really made the difference in this game,

75
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 3: because we know Yannis is steady. It was Middleton and

76
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 3: Holiday they shot fifty percent combined going home, so Yannis

77
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 3: was obviously big, and he got DeAndre Ayton into foul trouble.

78
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 3: They said it couldn't be done, but Aiden got into

79
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 3: foul trouble and he went to the bench. He only

80
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 3: played twenty four minutes in this game. So lots of

81
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 3: good stuff on the Buck side, But I'm just waiting

82
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 3: to see how the Suns bounce back. And I think

83
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 3: it would have been better for the Bucks if this

84
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 3: was a close game down the stretch. It sounds kind

85
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 3: of dumb, but I think so many bad things went

86
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 3: wrong for the Phoenix Suns that they have a lot

87
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,280
Speaker 3: to work on. And you know, Devin Booker's going to

88
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 3: be really really pissed that he didn't play in the

89
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 3: fourth quarter because he had a bad game. He only

90
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:24,920
Speaker 3: played twenty nine minutes. DeAndre Ayton has something to focus on,

91
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 3: like stay on the fricking floor and the fact that

92
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 3: Mani Williams complained about the free throw shooting, you know,

93
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:33,159
Speaker 3: get something into the ref's mind. So I think there's

94
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 3: a lot to work on for the Suns and a

95
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 3: lot to sort of bounce back from. And that's that's

96
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:40,840
Speaker 3: all this is about. You know, they could you can

97
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,040
Speaker 3: lose a game in the finals, absolutely, so how do

98
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,919
Speaker 3: they bounce back? I think the best recipe, you know,

99
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 3: other Thanny and staying on the floor and Booker shooting

100
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 3: some more shots. It might be Yanni's leaving the game

101
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 3: like he did three minutes and thirty seconds into.

102
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,839
Speaker 2: That was wild. Was he like having a panic attack?

103
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:57,160
Speaker 2: In all honesty, I.

104
00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 4: Said, he said he just needed a breathe on. Yeah,

105
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,160
Speaker 4: that's what he said. He so like he just felt.

106
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 2: A little bit two overhyped.

107
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's basically exactly what he said, because otherwise you

108
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 4: must have assumed it was an injury. But d Astin

109
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,039
Speaker 4: had a postgame and he was like, yeah, I just

110
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,160
Speaker 4: felt a little bit, uh guessed, so I needed to

111
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 4: come out. He says he's done that a few tis

112
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 4: throughout the season, and.

113
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 3: He's got the free throw line too, which was yeah,

114
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 3: he was a free throw line said, I don't know,

115
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 3: he just he just couldn't overcome it, I guess. And

116
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 3: then he came back and you know whatever, thirteen thirteen

117
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:26,160
Speaker 3: of seventeen from the line.

118
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 5: OK, sometimes your computer just freaks out. You got to

119
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,679
Speaker 5: restart it and then everything's gravy from there. That's honestly

120
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 5: what it felt like from Yannis. That was a dominant,

121
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 5: legendary performance. You gotta consider him a top five player

122
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:41,160
Speaker 5: if you haven't already. All fourteen of his baskets were

123
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 5: within five feet last night. That was incredible. I mean,

124
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 5: he obviously took a couple of three pointers as well,

125
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:47,480
Speaker 5: but like Tas is saying, he was getting the ball

126
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:49,919
Speaker 5: in the role able to score there. He was getting

127
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:51,679
Speaker 5: the ball in the post with his back to the basket,

128
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:54,039
Speaker 5: able to score there. And then once he'd gotten into

129
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:56,039
Speaker 5: his bag, he was able to score on face ups,

130
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 5: even on Jake Crowder. That was really impressive from Yannis

131
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,160
Speaker 5: and eight and miss in quite a bit of time

132
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 5: with foul trouble. That was a huge difference in this series.

133
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 5: The Bucks dominated inside. They were quicker to fifty to

134
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 5: fifty balls, They had more offensive rebounds, they had more

135
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 5: three pointers. This was a dominating victory from the Bucks,

136
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 5: and it certainly starts with Janni's just going out there

137
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 5: playing three minutes hard, saying I need to chill a

138
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,159
Speaker 5: little bit, and then coming back in and playing the

139
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 5: next forty four minutes hard as well.

140
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:24,839
Speaker 2: Lee, you stayed up super late.

141
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:26,840
Speaker 1: I guess you were helped by jet lag a little

142
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 1: bit because you had arrived in Amsterdam, you know, a

143
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 1: couple days prior. But I saw you tweeting last night

144
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:35,039
Speaker 1: about this game. I'm like, what time is it where

145
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 1: you're watching this? It was like two or three in

146
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:38,840
Speaker 1: the morning, if I have it correctly. But what did

147
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,919
Speaker 1: you take away from this game? Three victory here for Milwaukee.

148
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, they rare positive PRF a jet lag. It usually

149
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:46,840
Speaker 4: people just say it, curse it out and say how

150
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 4: bad it is, but it really actually came into play

151
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 4: last night. Well, I watched the game as fresh as anything,

152
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 4: and it was great. But honestly, I mean the Bucks,

153
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 4: we have seen them. They just tend to stop series

154
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 4: slowly and then Bootenholes seems to figure out, you know what,

155
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 4: We've got a size advantage here, and it was certainly

156
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:04,920
Speaker 4: compacted by the fact that DeAndre Acton, who started off

157
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:07,720
Speaker 4: really well then did get into foul trouble because then

158
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 4: it is Jay Crowder sort of throwing his body up

159
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 4: against Yannis, and you know, physically he's okay, but Yannis

160
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 4: didn't understand if he just backs him down inside and

161
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 4: rise up. They got twenty second chance points as well.

162
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 4: Milwaukee last night, they really owned that department and the

163
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 4: Sun's I mean, no team really has an answer to

164
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 4: sort of stop Yarnis, and he has a tremendous advantage

165
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 4: up against that front line. You know, Frank the tank

166
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 4: got another handful of minutes there last night, but he

167
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 4: cannot stay on the floor to try to guard Yas.

168
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 4: I mean, he's just he's out there basically just to

169
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 4: mop up a few minutes when Monty Williams can. But

170
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 4: I was really impressed. I thought this was just a

171
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 4: solid blueprint for a way that the Bucks can honestly

172
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 4: go on to win this series if they continue to

173
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 4: play that way. Trey mentioned that the points in the

174
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 4: paint there and if you look at Yannis's shot zone,

175
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 4: it's all red, but there's a tiny, tiny little bit

176
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 4: of green in there, which usually says, you know, maybe

177
00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 4: the person didn't have a great game, but instead it

178
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 4: just reflected just how dominant Jarnis was when he gets

179
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 4: into the paint there, because you know, he's still not

180
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 4: polished as far as that little jump hook. It doesn't

181
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 4: always drop in, but the second chance points that ability

182
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 4: to grab his own miss or someone else's miss, or

183
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 4: Brook Lopez grabs that miss just because they're so much

184
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 4: bigger than those guys is really a strong advantage that

185
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 4: I think the Bucks have to keep on hammering home.

186
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 4: And you saw that one play where Devin book is

187
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 4: doing his best to box him out, Jannis just sort

188
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 4: of reaches over the top of him and throws it

189
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 4: back in gets the end one on it. So you

190
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 4: know that for me, if you're the Bucks, you look

191
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 4: at this game, you know, and they got some great

192
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 4: support from Middleton and Drew hollyd as well. But then

193
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,679
Speaker 4: I thought Bobby Porters, who you know barely played in

194
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 4: game two, he came out and gave them exactly what

195
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 4: they needed, that boost, that energy off the bend hits

196
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:43,680
Speaker 4: and threes. He was really hyping up the crowd and

197
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 4: his teammates there. So you know this wasn't I don't

198
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 4: just think one of those wins, you know where it's like,

199
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 4: well the Phoenix Suns were two nil up and they

200
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 4: sort of got complacent. I think the Bucks really won

201
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:55,319
Speaker 4: this game, and now I just can't wait for Game

202
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 4: four to see what Milwaukee does because.

203
00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:57,680
Speaker 2: They didn't get off to a good start.

204
00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 4: It wasn't really until that, you know, halfway through the

205
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:03,199
Speaker 4: second quarter there where they were down six bootonholes the

206
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 4: cause of time out, and then they went on a

207
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:07,319
Speaker 4: run and Yannis a couple of those you know layups

208
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 4: in the paint and got them going and Bobby Porters

209
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 4: hit the three as well. So this is a fascinating series.

210
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:14,959
Speaker 4: It's still well and truly a live here and we

211
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:18,440
Speaker 4: will maybe see now just how much the Suns, you know,

212
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 4: do miss having a second big because Tory Craig play.

213
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 4: He's kind of there filling replacement for Dario Sharich who's

214
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 4: obviously out. But you know a lot of things here

215
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 4: for the Bucks that you take away from this game,

216
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:33,080
Speaker 4: you think, you know, this series is definitely alive.

217
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, Drew Holiday was huge in that third quarter because

218
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:38,560
Speaker 1: it was a four point game. I mean, the Sun

219
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:40,680
Speaker 1: sort of you know, the Bucks had gone on that

220
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 1: massive run there in the second quarter.

221
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:43,560
Speaker 2: It was like a twenty to six run.

222
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 1: They're up eight, there's a timeout, and then there was

223
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 1: like I thought it was like a really key like

224
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:50,320
Speaker 1: three and a half minutes before the end of the

225
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 1: first half, and the Bucks were awesome. Yeah, Booker missing jumpers,

226
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:56,439
Speaker 1: you had pain theyll cutting it to five because you

227
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:58,439
Speaker 1: had that and one layup. But then the Buck sort

228
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 1: of answered and that was big an a huge foul

229
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 1: on Eton and it wasn't Giannis. It was actually Middleton

230
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 1: who drove that foul right at the end of the

231
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 1: first half, which came into play of course when eate

232
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:08,199
Speaker 1: and picked up a couple of early ones in the

233
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:11,560
Speaker 1: third quarter. But back to Drew Holiday, close game, but

234
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 1: he had an answer task every time.

235
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:15,440
Speaker 2: He was huge, Like he had four to.

236
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:17,199
Speaker 1: Three pointers I think in that third quarter, and it

237
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 1: felt like everyone was massive. Just to keep the sun

238
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:22,559
Speaker 1: sort of at bay and keep the Bucks in control.

239
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 1: You at twenty one points, nine assists and five boards

240
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 1: and played incredible defense.

241
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 2: That's the That's the perfect Drew Holiday game.

242
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:30,959
Speaker 1: I think it is fair to say what he gave

243
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:34,080
Speaker 1: him defensively and then chipping in, especially hitting threes. I

244
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 1: thought he was pretty instrumental. Janis gets all the headlines rightfully, so,

245
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 1: but you know, Drew and Middleton hitting saw enough shots

246
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 1: there early.

247
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 2: That's that's all Jannis needed in game two, That's what

248
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 2: we said. He was awesome.

249
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 1: Who's going to help him. Somebody's got to help him,

250
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 1: and he got a lot of help.

251
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 2: I thought. In Game three, Yeah.

252
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 3: I what a difference of game makes. He just didn't

253
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 3: hesitate and those threes were going down, and even the layups,

254
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,559
Speaker 3: he just looked like a different player laying up a basketball,

255
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:01,080
Speaker 3: which is sounds really stupid to say this. As an

256
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 3: NBA player, he should have no problem shooting layups, but

257
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 3: he wasn't short arming shots like he was earlier in

258
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:08,960
Speaker 3: the series. He just felt a lot better and he

259
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:10,840
Speaker 3: looked a lot better. And that's the scary part for

260
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,080
Speaker 3: the Suns, is that the Bucks tend to get better

261
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:16,679
Speaker 3: as the series goes on. And it's not just Janni Setokumpo,

262
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 3: who is you know, extremely scary bent knee had a

263
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:22,680
Speaker 3: you know, a good game in Game one, an incredible

264
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:24,840
Speaker 3: game Game two, and a great game in Game three.

265
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,960
Speaker 3: That's the scary part because Yanys hasn't had to carry

266
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 3: this team for two months, like you know, a number

267
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 3: one superstar usually does. He had a poor series against

268
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:37,680
Speaker 3: the Mini Heat. In series number one, bounce back against

269
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 3: the Brooklyn Nets, then he missed a couple of games

270
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:42,680
Speaker 3: against the Hawks with the injury, and now you know,

271
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 3: it's it's almost like he's got a little bit of

272
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 3: freshness going to him. And he's a little bit like

273
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:49,080
Speaker 3: Lebron to me in that starts the series slow and

274
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 3: then you know, starts to pick it up. So if

275
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:53,719
Speaker 3: if the Bucks follow his lead like Drew Holliday as

276
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 3: you mentioned, Skeets and and Chris Middleton hopefully who hasn't

277
00:11:57,520 --> 00:11:59,680
Speaker 3: had you know, a monster game yet in this series.

278
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:02,320
Speaker 3: That's that's the scary part for the Suns. But I

279
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 3: expect that, you know, the Suns to bounce back and

280
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 3: and the Bucks even though you know the Sons don't

281
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 3: have a backup big if Eton gets into foul trouble,

282
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:14,320
Speaker 3: it's happened once. Now the Bucks are still thin, and

283
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:16,720
Speaker 3: I thought some of those you know, Bobby Ports shots

284
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 3: were a little bit nuts that he was taking. He

285
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 3: came in and fired eleven shots in eighteen minutes. But

286
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:24,320
Speaker 3: you need that if you're the Milwaukee Bucks and you

287
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:27,439
Speaker 3: need Drew Holiday to shoot because you're not deep, and

288
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:30,720
Speaker 3: so you know there's there. There was a nice recipe

289
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 3: for sure, Drew and Yann. He's hitting free throws like

290
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 3: he's freaking steph attakumpo out there, as they said on

291
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 3: the broadcast, although it was shot down on the broadcast.

292
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 5: Mark Jackson not happy.

293
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 3: No, no, sir, don't you.

294
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:42,599
Speaker 2: I don't even call it.

295
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:44,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, Like, what does that mean?

296
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:50,440
Speaker 2: I get that, sonis we're gonna live.

297
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:53,199
Speaker 1: You're gonna live with thirteen or seventeen at the line

298
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 1: on any day of the week. I mean, he's gotten

299
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 1: better and better as the Finals has has gone on here.

300
00:12:58,120 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 1: I know we're only three games in, but he's improved

301
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 1: every game at the freethrow line.

302
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 4: And I think they mentioned it on the broadcast last night.

303
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 4: He's definitely taking less time. He's getting in yeah, yeah, yeah.

304
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:10,200
Speaker 4: But the most important thing for me is it's not

305
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 4: in his head like it was in Ben Simmons head.

306
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 4: He's not afraid to go in there. He knows he's

307
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 4: going to get hit, he knows he's going to try

308
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:17,319
Speaker 4: to wrap him up. So he's going to be taking

309
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:18,719
Speaker 4: a lot of these free throws. I think he hit

310
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:20,839
Speaker 4: eight in a row last night at one point there

311
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:22,679
Speaker 4: until Mike Breen sort of cursed him because he kept

312
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:24,319
Speaker 4: saying it's like five in a row, six in row seven.

313
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 4: But at that point the game was pretty much I

314
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 4: think in the Bucks control anyway. But that that to

315
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 4: me is you know, mentally sending a message to the Suns.

316
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:34,440
Speaker 4: It's like, we know he's not a great free throw shooter,

317
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 4: but he's not going to avoid contact. He's not going

318
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:39,079
Speaker 4: to avoid the paint if you foil him. He's gone

319
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:41,680
Speaker 4: to the line and he's you know, he still goes

320
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 4: through that little routine where he does the imaginary one first,

321
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:47,320
Speaker 4: which is fine, but I just think it is better

322
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 4: that he's he's growing more confident in the way that

323
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 4: he shoots it. And yeah, thirteen for seventeen is fantastic.

324
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 4: And you know, he earlier in the you know, the

325
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:57,840
Speaker 4: mid range and the three point shots. We can debate

326
00:13:57,880 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 4: those all we want, but when he goes into the

327
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:02,840
Speaker 4: paint like that, he's just such a more effective dominant

328
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:06,319
Speaker 4: player because he's got hight advantage, he's got the length advantage,

329
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:09,560
Speaker 4: he's got the athleticism advantage. The Sons will still live

330
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:11,560
Speaker 4: if he's going to take those mid rangers, even if

331
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 4: he knocks in a couple, and of course the three

332
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 4: as well, but he's sort of put those away and

333
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 4: he's gone inside to become you know, like you refer

334
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 4: to you compared him to Lebron. We know he's not

335
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:23,480
Speaker 4: like Michael, he's not like Lebron. He's certainly not like Shaq.

336
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 4: But at the same time, he's got a little bit

337
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 4: of everyone in that game because he's you know, he's

338
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 4: in there and he's pounding away and that's the way

339
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 4: to do it. And there was a couple of other

340
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 4: time you're in love with the bully bar That to

341
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 4: me is just when he's at his best, because, as

342
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 4: I say, Crowder he can push him and push him

343
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:40,720
Speaker 4: and push him. But like Shaq, if you just take

344
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 4: an inch at a time, you go inside and then

345
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 4: you by the time you turn around, you're under the

346
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:49,800
Speaker 4: Basketcasol exactly. There's no rim protection whatsoever there. So you know,

347
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 4: and you see him a couple of times he wants

348
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 4: that little mid ranger, but he's able to sort of

349
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 4: be disciplined enough to be like, no, I've got to

350
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 4: get inside and make those shots, and I think that

351
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 4: was just so important. I mean again, I think that

352
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 4: sends a message to the Suns. It's like, I'm doing

353
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 4: this no matter who's defending me, no matter who's guarding me.

354
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 4: And you know, an impressive victory started with their superstar.

355
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 4: And also the other point I wanted to make is

356
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 4: the way that sometimes they moved the ball around as

357
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 4: well and got him sort of cutting inside to the paint,

358
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 4: and you saw other players do that as well. I

359
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 4: think that sort of thing becomes contagious. PJ. Tucker sort

360
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 4: of zigzagged in, gave it to Drew, then cut back

361
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 4: and got a beautiful layup out of it. So when

362
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 4: that ball moves around like that, it becomes infectious to everybody.

363
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 4: And also Pat Connerton had four threes in Game two

364
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 4: and we're like that was he was their second best

365
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 4: player last night. He had eight points, hit two threes

366
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 4: in thirty minutes, and that to me is more that's

367
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 4: what you need, just that sort of little extra help.

368
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 4: You don't need Pat Connon be like we need this

369
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 4: guy to be huge for us. He just needs to

370
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 4: go out there and you know, be the icing on

371
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:48,520
Speaker 4: the cake.

372
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 5: The Bucks role players played fairly well. In Game one,

373
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 5: they took a loss because Janis wasn't one hundred percent

374
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 5: at that point, he was still figuring out his body.

375
00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 5: In Game two, Janis was back to Yanis put up

376
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 5: his first forty and ten in the finals, but the

377
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 5: role players let him down. The Bucks got both in

378
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 5: Game three last night. That's really the difference. You know.

379
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 5: It's great if somebody's going for forty and ten every night,

380
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 5: but you have to have the support players, whether that

381
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 5: be three pointers from Bobby Portis and Pat Connaton or

382
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 5: Drew Holliday getting hot hitting five threes. I thought he

383
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 5: just like you're saying, skates, he was massive in that

384
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 5: third quarter. This easily be two to one for the

385
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:25,240
Speaker 5: Bucks if they had been able to put the games

386
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 5: together like they did in Game three.

387
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, what did you think? Tasked a couple of things.

388
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 1: One with the free throw disparity, you know, Manny Williams

389
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 1: sort of he brought it up, though he said he

390
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 1: wasn't really talking about it, how Giannis took so many

391
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 1: free throws compared to the Suns overall.

392
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 2: And then Many's sort of weaving the white flag.

393
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 1: One of you threw it in there, like I guess

394
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 1: it was you task like saying Booker not playing the

395
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 1: fourth quarter. You know, it was like a twenty point game,

396
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 1: but that really is nothing in today's game with like

397
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:53,239
Speaker 1: ten minutes.

398
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 2: To go, and he sort of was like, I don't know.

399
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 1: He sort of threw the white white white howland is

400
00:16:58,120 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 1: what I'm trying to say, or waved white flag.

401
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 2: It's the same thing.

402
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 1: You can also throw the white flag if you want to.

403
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 1: I guess that'd be really weird.

404
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 2: But that's what he did. So what do you make

405
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:07,680
Speaker 2: of that? Both of those things?

406
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:10,439
Speaker 1: The free throw disparity, is there anything to that? And

407
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:12,880
Speaker 1: then sort of money saying you know what, Okay, let's

408
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:13,880
Speaker 1: just look ahead to Game four.

409
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 2: What do you think.

410
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:17,919
Speaker 3: Listen, the Bucks won this game free throw disparity or not.

411
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 3: And I think Manty Williams just he's just playing the

412
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 3: refs a little bit, just to make them aware that

413
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:27,639
Speaker 3: Aighton shouldn't shouldn't get all those foul calls against him.

414
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 3: I think it's just about DeAndre and you know, the

415
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:33,280
Speaker 3: fourth one that sent him to the bench a little softy,

416
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:37,240
Speaker 3: no doubt, but but I think he could have brought

417
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:39,360
Speaker 3: him back earlier. He could have brought DeAndre Ayton back early.

418
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 3: Need to sit the rest of the fourth like that,

419
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:45,120
Speaker 3: playing with four fouls. He is, He's a very competent guy.

420
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:47,199
Speaker 3: They came they brought it back, even though you know

421
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 3: it's easy to say they got eight and out of

422
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 3: the game. Backup center came in. They won this game

423
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:56,480
Speaker 3: that way. Well, actually, when Aighton went down, they they scored,

424
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 3: they were up plus five. You know, the next several

425
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 3: minutes they got back into the game. But then yeah,

426
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 3: at the end of the quarter with eight and still

427
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:06,160
Speaker 3: on the bench, probably should have been out there. Yeah,

428
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 3: they expanded the lead. So this free throw thing wasn't

429
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 3: a problem in game two. Well, when they won, Monty

430
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:14,480
Speaker 3: Williams didn't go up there and say, hey, yeah, is

431
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:16,640
Speaker 3: shut What did you shoot eighteen free throws in that game?

432
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:19,880
Speaker 3: You know he shot a similar amount of free throws.

433
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:23,640
Speaker 3: That wasn't the problem then, right, So it wasn't the issue.

434
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 3: Bucks just hammered. As far as the den Booker thing

435
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 3: in the fourth quarter. I'm gonna give Monty Williams the

436
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 3: benefit of doubt that he knows his guy. Maybe he

437
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:35,239
Speaker 3: sits the fourth. He knows that if you sit him

438
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 3: the fourth, he'll be thinking about it, he'll be, you know,

439
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 3: ready to fix things in game number four. So that's

440
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:43,360
Speaker 3: that's all I can take from it. I mean, yeah,

441
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:45,439
Speaker 3: he could have been out there, you know, minus twenty

442
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 3: down twenty, but he was obviously having a back. Yet

443
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:50,679
Speaker 3: he started you know, game two pretty poorly as well. Right,

444
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 3: he started two of ten in game two and bounce back.

445
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:56,240
Speaker 3: So I think we'll just say that Manty knows this guy.

446
00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:58,640
Speaker 3: But the eight and thing play play your guy, play

447
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:01,360
Speaker 3: him a little bit more. I mean I didn't really

448
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:04,920
Speaker 3: get sitting him for so many minutes in that third quarter,

449
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:08,480
Speaker 3: because yeah, I mean, Yannis is bigger than everybody else.

450
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:12,040
Speaker 3: But at the same time, I mean, the Bucks were

451
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 3: just running such good actions. This wasn't this wasn't Shack

452
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:18,200
Speaker 3: give him the ball. No, you know, it's it's we

453
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:19,520
Speaker 3: got to give a little Janice.

454
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 2: As the screener, which is brilliant.

455
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 1: I mean they did with Middleton as the as the

456
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:25,640
Speaker 1: ball handler, Drew as a ballhandler, pet contenton at time.

457
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 1: He's even u that, you know, they would just always

458
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:30,119
Speaker 1: that's great play Giannis in the action.

459
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:32,440
Speaker 2: He's a giant dude. He can set a screen and

460
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 2: then he can roll with my god.

461
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:35,439
Speaker 1: If you got guys that can play make and get

462
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:37,800
Speaker 1: him the ball in movement, well then it's just the

463
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:39,920
Speaker 1: next level. It's a lot easier than like you said,

464
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 1: like where you just put him on the block and

465
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:43,679
Speaker 1: like now all eyes are on him. Now we can

466
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:45,879
Speaker 1: keep an eye on where everybody is. It's like, you

467
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 1: can't do that when there's movement like that.

468
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 3: That's why.

469
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:49,800
Speaker 1: That's why it's got to be scary a little bit

470
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 1: for the Suns moving forward. Here's like, how are they

471
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:53,360
Speaker 1: going to counter that one? Yeah, Aiden's got to stay

472
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 1: on the floor, but you also got to defend it

473
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 1: a lot better.

474
00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:58,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think he's just going back to years

475
00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:00,920
Speaker 3: past though. Uh. They used to just put Giannis on

476
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 3: the block, you know, like come down and give it

477
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:04,399
Speaker 3: to him. But I think Ice was doing a lot.

478
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 3: I had a lot more ducts, you know, besides the

479
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:08,200
Speaker 3: pick and roll. It was a lot more action where

480
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:10,600
Speaker 3: he got the ball quickly, and you know we used

481
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:14,600
Speaker 3: to see the raptors smother him or yeah, or or

482
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:17,159
Speaker 3: him just drive in yeah and get smothered. Now I

483
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 3: think everything was there was a couple of seconds of

484
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:21,920
Speaker 3: free space for him to make a decision and he's

485
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:24,000
Speaker 3: gotten a lot better at that bud. It's got to

486
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,440
Speaker 3: get credit for getting him, you know, into the post

487
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:28,680
Speaker 3: a little bit quicker. Yeah, and the pick and rolls.

488
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 3: I mean I put it out on Twitter asking, you know,

489
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:33,680
Speaker 3: the second spectrum people figure this thing out. How many

490
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 3: pick and rolls was he in? Because I counted two

491
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:37,359
Speaker 3: in game one, and maybe they're just trying to figure

492
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 3: it out. I don't think I counted in game two,

493
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:41,960
Speaker 3: but in game three must have been like a billion.

494
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 3: I mean, he he definitely was. He was, Yeah, he

495
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:48,679
Speaker 3: was rolling and and yeah, and then he's he's in

496
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:50,920
Speaker 3: such a rhythm. To see him at the free throw

497
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:54,200
Speaker 3: line like that, it reminds me of when Trey put

498
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:58,399
Speaker 3: together Lee's draft card and he and and you know,

499
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:02,440
Speaker 3: he's kept that free throw far I think, as does

500
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:04,520
Speaker 3: his fake one. I think of this every single time

501
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:07,120
Speaker 3: if you're watching on YouTube like that. Yeah, he's got

502
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:09,280
Speaker 3: that form going. He's ready to he's ready to be

503
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:10,400
Speaker 3: George Mican out there.

504
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 5: These guy's been compared to Steph Curry, Michael Jordan, Shaquille O'Neal,

505
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 5: and now the highest compliment Lee ellis at the free

506
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,640
Speaker 5: throw line. I would be a little worried if I'm

507
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:24,639
Speaker 5: Yanis in game four because postgame, not only did Monty

508
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:26,720
Speaker 5: Williams kind of call out the fact that he shot

509
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:28,679
Speaker 5: a lot more free throws than the rest of the

510
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:31,240
Speaker 5: Suns team did, he also mentioned that he's going to

511
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 5: show DeAndre eight in some places to take charges, So

512
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:36,159
Speaker 5: the flops are going to be out big time in

513
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:38,919
Speaker 5: Game four. I would say Janis needs to have the

514
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:42,720
Speaker 5: secondary move, the dinkers and the dumpers ready because they

515
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 5: are just going to be falling over in the lab.

516
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:47,160
Speaker 5: They're going to be saying, hey, man, yeah, exactly right.

517
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:49,360
Speaker 5: It's either going to be we get you in foul

518
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:53,640
Speaker 5: trouble by taking these flailing flop charges, or you're going

519
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:55,760
Speaker 5: to the free throw line, which Yanna shot the ball

520
00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 5: incredibly well at the line yesterday, but you're still taking

521
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:00,919
Speaker 5: your chances there. He's like a hundred percent when he's

522
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 5: dunking AESA, so that's his lower percentage. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

523
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 5: he's good at dunks.

524
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:08,960
Speaker 1: I may I'm forgetting one that happened in game two,

525
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 1: but the eurostep is back, for be honest, So that's

526
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 1: an encouraging sign for Bucks fans for sure.

527
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:15,199
Speaker 2: He dropped like three or four of them.

528
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 1: It felt like last nightly and I couldn't remember them

529
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:18,640
Speaker 1: and definitely not in game one.

530
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 2: You know, we were talking about it.

531
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:21,919
Speaker 1: We're like, well, you know, that's a lot of pressure

532
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:24,040
Speaker 1: on that hyper extent in the I can't remember many

533
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:25,919
Speaker 1: in game two if they happening up. But anyway, he's

534
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:28,760
Speaker 1: My point is he's looking more and more comfortable physically

535
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 1: because he's he dropped it like two or three times

536
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:32,199
Speaker 1: at least last night.

537
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:34,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's one great one around Frank the tank where

538
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:35,959
Speaker 4: he's sort of trying to pick up the charge at

539
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 4: the top of the key there and Yanna's just like

540
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:41,200
Speaker 4: he just blows by him, and you know, again Frank,

541
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:42,960
Speaker 4: Frank knows that he's out there, and it's sort of

542
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 4: like hang on for dear life minutes. But that will

543
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 4: certainly help Jan. It's the confidence. But again, like considering

544
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:50,960
Speaker 4: what happened to this guy's in there a few weeks

545
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:52,879
Speaker 4: ago for him to be able to move side to

546
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:54,720
Speaker 4: side like that, you know, because that's often what players

547
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:56,199
Speaker 4: talk about, is you know, when you're coming back, if

548
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:58,160
Speaker 4: you can go sort of in a straight line versus

549
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:00,159
Speaker 4: if you can sort of power off both legs, and

550
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:01,919
Speaker 4: he seems to be able to do that, to be

551
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:04,200
Speaker 4: able to do that now without any problems at all,

552
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:07,359
Speaker 4: so that's incredible. But yeah, I mean give him the

553
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:09,919
Speaker 4: ball in transition as well, and he seems to have

554
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:12,199
Speaker 4: a little bit more patience now as well. Like you know,

555
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:14,520
Speaker 4: he has in the past picked up offensive fouls by

556
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:16,639
Speaker 4: just sort of barreling toward the rim, but now he

557
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 4: understands guys are setting the trap waiting for that to happen,

558
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:20,879
Speaker 4: so he has to be a bit more careful with it.

559
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:24,840
Speaker 4: But yeah, man encouraging stuff from Milwaukee. Just I'm just

560
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:28,640
Speaker 4: glad for them because honestly, that first quarter they were

561
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:31,720
Speaker 4: down and I was like, where is that game three

562
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:35,000
Speaker 4: you know, sense of urgency? Where's that spark because I

563
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 4: didn't really see it there. And then they sort of,

564
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 4: you know, the end of that second quarter, they really

565
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:41,960
Speaker 4: put their foot down. I was like, Okay, finally it's here.

566
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:44,440
Speaker 4: It took them a while to get going there, but yeah,

567
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 4: that first half first quarter, I was a bit worried

568
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:48,640
Speaker 4: there for the BUCkies.

569
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:50,960
Speaker 1: Well, it got a little dacy too because I think

570
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,200
Speaker 1: the pick and roll action with Giannis was killing them.

571
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 1: So they were like money limbs, like well, let's go zone.

572
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:57,679
Speaker 2: Let's throw a zone out and see what they do.

573
00:23:57,880 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 2: And it was working for a little bit.

574
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:01,399
Speaker 1: The Bucks were like what always teams that happened in

575
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:03,360
Speaker 1: an NBA game when a team goes zone, the other

576
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:04,800
Speaker 1: team's like, well, let's just shoot threes.

577
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:05,400
Speaker 5: They're open.

578
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 2: Let's just let them fly.

579
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:08,159
Speaker 1: And it was like, oh, you're falling right into their

580
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 1: trap and they weren't hitting them. And then I think

581
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:11,400
Speaker 1: there was a time out and they're like, no, no, no,

582
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:13,960
Speaker 1: let's we got the biggest dudes on this team.

583
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:16,879
Speaker 2: Let's we can find the seams in the zone and

584
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:17,960
Speaker 2: punish them. And they did.

585
00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:20,560
Speaker 1: And you know that didn't last all that long. I

586
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:22,320
Speaker 1: don't think, well, maybe we will see a little bit

587
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:24,240
Speaker 1: more zone again. They mix it up money Wiams with

588
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:25,919
Speaker 1: his calls, but I thought that was it was at

589
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,679
Speaker 1: least nice to see Botenholder in the box saying, Okay,

590
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:31,479
Speaker 1: this is we're taking some dumb shots that they want

591
00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:31,920
Speaker 1: us to take.

592
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 2: We're rushing here. Let's pound the hell out of them inside.

593
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:36,400
Speaker 2: And they did. They killed them.

594
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:38,040
Speaker 1: And you guys have said these stats, but they were

595
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:40,040
Speaker 1: the more physical team because they killed them in the paint,

596
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:43,199
Speaker 1: killed them on the offensive class thirteen offensive rebounds compared

597
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:44,600
Speaker 1: to just six for Phoenix. Now, a big part of

598
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:45,919
Speaker 1: that is no eight and out there for half the

599
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:48,119
Speaker 1: game and in turn out scored the Suns twenty to

600
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:51,439
Speaker 1: two and second chance points. That's just massive, along with

601
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 1: the free throw disparity, or at least getting there more

602
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 1: like attacking, attacking, attacking, that's the recipe for the win.

603
00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:57,400
Speaker 2: They're at task.

604
00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:00,960
Speaker 1: But any other observations from this game, the unsung heroes

605
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 1: we haven't talked about, and then of course looking forward

606
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:05,080
Speaker 1: to Game four and Wednesday, where you want to.

607
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 4: Go, Well, the Cam Johnson dunk was, oh god, that's

608
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:11,479
Speaker 4: we got to remember that one for a while. And uh,

609
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 4: I like on the broadcast as well. Actually, I mean,

610
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:16,119
Speaker 4: you know Van Gandhi and Mack Jack's not my favorite,

611
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:18,400
Speaker 4: but they were basically saying, you can't review that, even

612
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:21,399
Speaker 4: if it was a charge, that's you. We're not colding that.

613
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 4: And fortunately they didn't because you've definitely seen that call.

614
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 4: But not just the dunk that was massive, but the PJ.

615
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:31,240
Speaker 4: Tucker meme reaction on Forever Too, so good.

616
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 1: It was so good. Yeah, Scott Foster, we didn't say

617
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:37,200
Speaker 1: this was on the call. Chris Paul does not have

618
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 1: a great record against Scott Foster, but I don't feel

619
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 1: like Foster really inserted himself into this game. I think

620
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:45,920
Speaker 1: the Sons are actually maybe more upset with the other

621
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 1: officials with some of the calls that Eaton was picking

622
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:49,400
Speaker 1: up specifically.

623
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:52,200
Speaker 2: But am I wrong? Task? Foster really didn't play a part,

624
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 2: which is good.

625
00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:56,239
Speaker 3: I guess. I don't know. I wasn't trying. I did,

626
00:25:56,400 --> 00:26:01,199
Speaker 3: I didn't track. I don't know any cousiness. Yeah, I

627
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 3: was counting screens. I wish I was counting him harder,

628
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:10,600
Speaker 3: but yeah, I had no no referee business, thankfully, you know.

629
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 3: I was counting free throws though I was counting gias

630
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:18,320
Speaker 3: free throws up to sixty six percent on the series, solid,

631
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 3: solid sixty percent.

632
00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, what is he?

633
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:21,520
Speaker 2: What is he?

634
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:24,200
Speaker 4: In the playoffs? They had this stat. I think it's

635
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 4: like he's up to sixty percent on the first ones

636
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:28,639
Speaker 4: in the playoffs and seventy three on second ones or

637
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:29,720
Speaker 4: something like that. I think I saw.

638
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:31,280
Speaker 2: I think that's a task tweet I saw going.

639
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:32,440
Speaker 4: Is that is it?

640
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 5: Yeah? That was?

641
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 4: But is that on the finals?

642
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:35,680
Speaker 3: Just the finals?

643
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:35,960
Speaker 4: Yeah?

644
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:39,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't I don't think any SIKO has tracked

645
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:43,280
Speaker 3: it throughout the entire playoffs, But yeah, what what what

646
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:46,320
Speaker 3: is this? What is this man shooting through free throws

647
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:50,119
Speaker 3: this postseason? Just fifty seven percent? So yeah, picking it

648
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 3: up in the in the finals, no doubt.

649
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:54,480
Speaker 1: He's just like Shack. Wasn't that what Chack always says?

650
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 1: Thanks and when he needs to makes him. He made

651
00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:57,359
Speaker 1: him last night.

652
00:26:57,600 --> 00:26:57,960
Speaker 2: That was good.

653
00:26:58,119 --> 00:26:59,640
Speaker 1: What do you got to trade any other notes from

654
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:02,400
Speaker 1: from this game or the extra quick curricular stuff around

655
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 1: this game?

656
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:07,320
Speaker 5: Well, like likely saying the Cam Johnson dunk was awesome.

657
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:10,280
Speaker 5: I would have liked to see ESPN roll the Tom

658
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:13,679
Speaker 5: Chambers dunk with Mark Jackson sitting there on the broadcast,

659
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:16,200
Speaker 5: the perfect guy to ask about this. He probably would

660
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:18,000
Speaker 5: have been arguing for a charge if they would have

661
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:20,600
Speaker 5: rolled that back. I have to think also, I think

662
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:22,760
Speaker 5: Cam Johnson has got to be the backup center for

663
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 5: the Suns because we've talked about the Frank minutes, they

664
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:28,320
Speaker 5: weren't great. I was happy to see my guy get

665
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:32,280
Speaker 5: a shot up, also had a massive slam dunk, getting

666
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:36,320
Speaker 5: the ball this much over the rim on his slam dunk,

667
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:40,240
Speaker 5: just the fingertips for fingertips. Frank on the dunk and

668
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 5: got to give a shout out to the chuggers out

669
00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:46,920
Speaker 5: there in Milwaukee, Tess, I know you said on the

670
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:49,879
Speaker 5: fan cam they weren't chugging quite as hard, but they

671
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 5: did have a lot of chugs going on. Apparently on

672
00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:56,119
Speaker 5: the JumboTron the Packers David Baktiari was there. Ye to

673
00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:59,640
Speaker 5: me seeing the clip, didn't look like he even necessarily

674
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:02,880
Speaker 5: wanted to chug these beers. But they're like, come on, guy,

675
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:06,960
Speaker 5: you're the chugger chugging. He hits two hits you with

676
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:09,879
Speaker 5: the lets goes and then brought out his dad to

677
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:14,480
Speaker 5: chug another beer. He chugs it. It's the whole stadium.

678
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:16,679
Speaker 5: What's the lets goes? As you have to do? And

679
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:21,040
Speaker 5: then apparently Chris Herring at Sports Illustrated said they put

680
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:24,959
Speaker 5: a kid on the JumboTron who chugged his apple juice

681
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:27,680
Speaker 5: and then at the stadium with a bunch of lets goes.

682
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:29,720
Speaker 5: These people are true sickos there.

683
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:32,440
Speaker 3: I love it. Yeah, it was a pretty good one.

684
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:35,320
Speaker 3: The kid was pretty good. It's on Bleacher Reports Instagram.

685
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:37,800
Speaker 3: I wouldn't know. I don't think it was an apple juice.

686
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:40,120
Speaker 3: Seemed like there was a color to it. But that

687
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:44,040
Speaker 3: kid was bringing it man their chest pound in. Yeah,

688
00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:46,720
Speaker 3: it was. It was pretty solid. I mean, how can

689
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:49,520
Speaker 3: you not when you see all these other chuggers in Milwaukee,

690
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:53,560
Speaker 3: I mean, great examples in Milwaukee for this, for this youngster.

691
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:55,360
Speaker 2: Lee, could you chug an apple juice?

692
00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 4: Hmm? Interesting, I've never tried. I was never ever, ever

693
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:02,120
Speaker 4: good though a truck jugging like a soft drink, you

694
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:03,960
Speaker 4: know that used to be a thing when you're a teenager.

695
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:06,400
Speaker 4: I could never do it. It's just too gassy. I

696
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 4: get like, you know, two gulps in and I'm just.

697
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:09,880
Speaker 2: Hitting your head off the garage.

698
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:12,240
Speaker 4: Yeah I am. I'm that guy. And I've never really

699
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 4: been a good beer chugger either, So probably not, is

700
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:15,040
Speaker 4: the answer to that.

701
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:18,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, do you have any other notes from this game?

702
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 2: No?

703
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:21,600
Speaker 4: I just want to go back quickly to the Monty Williams.

704
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:23,720
Speaker 4: You know, I don't want to make this a free

705
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 4: throw thing. I don't want to call out the referees

706
00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:28,600
Speaker 4: and he and he technically didn't because he didn't even

707
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:32,120
Speaker 4: say Yannis's name, but their guy or that guy or

708
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:34,400
Speaker 4: something he said like that. But I imagine you're the

709
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 4: NBA head office. You know, because it was suggested that

710
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:39,200
Speaker 4: the Bucks are going to be sending tapes after game

711
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:41,560
Speaker 4: one and two Chris Middleton not getting free throws. Now

712
00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:43,520
Speaker 4: game three the Sons are sending in tapes. Are this

713
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:46,600
Speaker 4: guy's getting too many free throws? So if you're out

714
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:49,000
Speaker 4: of silvia, like what are we doing? Then they're sending videotapes.

715
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 4: They're going to take a few days to get their

716
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:51,920
Speaker 4: Game four is going to be on before they even

717
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:56,160
Speaker 4: arrive in the head office there. So, but Monty Williams, like,

718
00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:58,520
Speaker 4: you know, he's a great guy. He always speaks really well.

719
00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:02,000
Speaker 4: But I think he was just that was more just

720
00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:04,080
Speaker 4: an expression of frustration that they lost. I don't think

721
00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:06,440
Speaker 4: there was anything he really had to complain about, because

722
00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:08,120
Speaker 4: when you're that being that close to the paint, you

723
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:10,640
Speaker 4: keep going up, you're gonna get the focals. And people

724
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:13,280
Speaker 4: are trying to make the connection between Scott Foster for

725
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:15,600
Speaker 4: this game, but that's just a reach at this point.

726
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:17,960
Speaker 4: He did nothing to influence the game. Bucks were just.

727
00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:21,760
Speaker 1: Better Finals MVP rankings. Tray I've always gone to you

728
00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:24,920
Speaker 1: for this, Let's go back to you. Has Giannis catapulted

729
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:27,280
Speaker 1: his way up to number one despite trailing the series.

730
00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:29,600
Speaker 1: I mean, the guy just did something that only Shack

731
00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:30,760
Speaker 1: has ever done in the finals.

732
00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:34,920
Speaker 2: Or does Chris Paul stay at one? But we're hit

733
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:37,280
Speaker 2: me with the top three. At least there ain't a

734
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 2: top three.

735
00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:40,520
Speaker 5: There's a top two at this point the skeets, and

736
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:42,760
Speaker 5: actually there's a top one A one A and A

737
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:45,680
Speaker 5: one B. It's still Press Paul for me in the

738
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:48,920
Speaker 5: lead for finals MVP simply because the Suns are in

739
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:51,440
Speaker 5: the lead in this series. You're honest, like you're saying,

740
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:55,600
Speaker 5: is doing finals MVP stuff. Shaq and Michael Jordan are

741
00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 5: his comparisons, and of course Lee ellis at the free

742
00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:00,680
Speaker 5: throw line, so he's gotta be on the pop rankings.

743
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:04,120
Speaker 5: But I think after two some par games, Devin Booker

744
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 5: has dropped out of the race. So right now, whoever wins.

745
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:09,880
Speaker 5: If the Suns win it, I got Chris Paul's the MVP.

746
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:11,200
Speaker 5: If the Bucks win it, it's Giannest.

747
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:14,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's fair. We pointed out a Booker

748
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 1: really really bad game. I mean, what do he end

749
00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:18,960
Speaker 1: up with like ten points three or fourteen shooting in

750
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 1: about thirty minutes, couldn't find a rhythm all game. Some

751
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:23,440
Speaker 1: credits got to go to the Bucks defense on him.

752
00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:26,400
Speaker 1: I assume he bounces back. But Chris Paul also had

753
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:28,240
Speaker 1: one of the Like he just had a very quiet game.

754
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:29,120
Speaker 2: I thought two tasks.

755
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:31,600
Speaker 1: Like we just now mentioned him here in the finals

756
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:34,040
Speaker 1: MVP Rower ranking, it's like his final box Scot's fine,

757
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:36,400
Speaker 1: but like he just didn't really he hit a couple

758
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:37,080
Speaker 1: jumpers early.

759
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:38,720
Speaker 2: I think he went three for four to like start the.

760
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:41,200
Speaker 1: Game, and you're like, oh, oh, he's fine in his spots

761
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:42,800
Speaker 1: and then that was sort of I was sort of in.

762
00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:44,600
Speaker 2: I just don't remember hearing much from him for the

763
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:45,160
Speaker 2: rest of the game.

764
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, he did a good job getting DeAndre Ayton involved

765
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:52,000
Speaker 3: early eight and was crushing it early. Yeah, so CP

766
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:54,320
Speaker 3: was running the show really really well. Though he turned

767
00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:56,600
Speaker 3: it over four times. That ain't that ain't CP. But

768
00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:59,240
Speaker 3: he's done that a couple of times recently. Yeah, he

769
00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:02,400
Speaker 3: wasn't himself. You know, the whole thing was thrown off

770
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:08,400
Speaker 3: with with Buck getting frustrated and Nytan foul trouble and yeah, totally,

771
00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:11,760
Speaker 3: I mean, uh, you know, campaign helped out for sure

772
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:14,520
Speaker 3: when when CP went to the bench. But yeah, you

773
00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:18,000
Speaker 3: can't really point to anybody saying that the Suns had,

774
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:20,480
Speaker 3: you know, a really really good game.

775
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:22,880
Speaker 2: I wish crowd get a bunch of threes.

776
00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:23,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's true.

777
00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:26,959
Speaker 1: Yes, and another everybody else sort of didn't play up

778
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:29,200
Speaker 1: to their to their level that we've seen throughout the postseason.

779
00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:30,920
Speaker 1: For sure, I got one more point from this game

780
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:32,880
Speaker 1: because it was a big talking point in our WhatsApp

781
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:35,760
Speaker 1: chat with the guys. How do you feel about the

782
00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:39,400
Speaker 1: Bucks and six chant when you're down to in the

783
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:41,560
Speaker 1: series lead? Do you respect the hell out of that

784
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:45,040
Speaker 1: leaning into the Brandon Jennings meme? Or you know, is

785
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:46,680
Speaker 1: it just the case of a lot of the guys

786
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:49,160
Speaker 1: are like, come on, just get one, don't People were

787
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:50,720
Speaker 1: pointing out, that's not a great chance.

788
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:52,760
Speaker 4: You just get one.

789
00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:54,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, don't get sweat.

790
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:55,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, don't get sweat.

791
00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:56,080
Speaker 5: Yeah.

792
00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:59,240
Speaker 4: Well, mathematically it's still in play. So while it's still

793
00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:02,640
Speaker 4: in that situation if you're a Bucks fan, because everyone

794
00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:05,480
Speaker 4: wants that because of the Brandon Jennings from what ten

795
00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:07,080
Speaker 4: years ago? I suppose it was now and I can't

796
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:11,040
Speaker 4: even remember. Yeah, so that's that's what they're going to

797
00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:12,800
Speaker 4: hang the hat on. If they do somehow pull this

798
00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:15,400
Speaker 4: off in six, it'll just be a masterful chant that

799
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:18,520
Speaker 4: will be remembered forever. But yeah, I mean why not

800
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:19,479
Speaker 4: they can still do it.

801
00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:21,960
Speaker 1: Maybe it might be amplified a little bit too, because

802
00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:24,320
Speaker 1: we've had the Sons in four Guard, right and the

803
00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:26,280
Speaker 1: Sons in four Chance, which was in play of course

804
00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:28,640
Speaker 1: until the end of last night. Yeah, maybe maybe that's

805
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:30,600
Speaker 1: why Bucks fans are leaning into the Bucks and six.

806
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:32,480
Speaker 1: I didn't have a problem with it in the WhatsApp chat,

807
00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:34,080
Speaker 1: but some guys we're furious.

808
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:35,760
Speaker 2: Who's upset at that?

809
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:42,040
Speaker 4: Jesus not greet She's not upset, that.

810
00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:46,720
Speaker 2: Is, yes, why my buddy Ken was upset about this.

811
00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:50,440
Speaker 4: Still Yeah, man, well, hey listen. Speaking of Devin Booker,

812
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:53,600
Speaker 4: I think he's dropped to one and two in pregame fits.

813
00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:56,440
Speaker 4: I did not like what he had on yesterday. I mean,

814
00:33:57,240 --> 00:34:00,440
Speaker 4: come on, that wasn't That wasn't style this year. He

815
00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:02,480
Speaker 4: looked like he was He looked like a kid going

816
00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:05,040
Speaker 4: to the first day of school, and his parents were like,

817
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:06,880
Speaker 4: he's going to have a growth year this year, growth

818
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:08,800
Speaker 4: spurt this year, so we have to buy him the

819
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:11,520
Speaker 4: clothes that are slightly bigger than that he needs right now.

820
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:13,359
Speaker 4: That's that's what it looked like.

821
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:15,760
Speaker 1: To me, somebody get this clip in front of Devin Booker.

822
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:19,040
Speaker 1: He's already passed off bad Game three. Now Ellis is

823
00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:20,840
Speaker 1: back tiking with his fashion sense.

824
00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:24,320
Speaker 4: Hey, look, most of those players are pretty stylish and fashionable,

825
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:27,200
Speaker 4: but not everyone's back in a thousand when it comes

826
00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:30,799
Speaker 4: to fashion, and I think I think Devon's just every

827
00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:32,520
Speaker 4: you know, I think he's struggling. I think those last

828
00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:35,080
Speaker 4: two games, the Colonel Cassander's look and then the school

829
00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:36,879
Speaker 4: school kid out looked outfit.

830
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:40,120
Speaker 2: Goes to Europe once suddenly.

831
00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:46,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, I know, hold on, yeah, Son's Western

832
00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:48,640
Speaker 1: Conference final shirt go.

833
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:51,520
Speaker 4: Yeah. Thanks to s BO, Greg Esposito out and in

834
00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:54,120
Speaker 4: Phoenix for this one. Because we talked about on the show.

835
00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:56,799
Speaker 4: I said, these shirts are redundant no matter what.

836
00:34:56,719 --> 00:35:00,480
Speaker 2: Happens, you know, and then get one.

837
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:03,719
Speaker 4: Yeah exactly, I said, suh, I think if you're find Mike,

838
00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:05,080
Speaker 4: can you let me know and send it over? And

839
00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:07,600
Speaker 4: he found he said the last one. It's great, he

840
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:09,799
Speaker 4: sent it over. So I'm gonna still wear this while

841
00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:13,080
Speaker 4: it is relevant. We've got at least what until Friday.

842
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:17,319
Speaker 4: I think he's Game five, so at minimum Saturday, Oh

843
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:18,040
Speaker 4: Saturday is it?

844
00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:18,279
Speaker 3: Yeah?

845
00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:19,240
Speaker 2: So minimum?

846
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:21,040
Speaker 4: There we've got. I've got a few more days to

847
00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:21,880
Speaker 4: wear this one around.

848
00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:25,839
Speaker 3: So it's pretty solid shirt actually for a Western Conference championship.

849
00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:27,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, he didn't show you the bottom of it though.

850
00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:29,719
Speaker 1: It says literally, this is a weird part to me.

851
00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:32,320
Speaker 1: It says three time conferenceship.

852
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:35,480
Speaker 5: Yeah.

853
00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:38,600
Speaker 4: I think that makes it even better, even better.

854
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:42,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, We've got a question coming up on our Beach

855
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:46,960
Speaker 3: seven episode tomorrow Tuesday about that about the people who

856
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:49,879
Speaker 3: wear a conference championshirt. Maybe Devin Booker should have worn

857
00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:52,560
Speaker 3: that coming into the arena and he would have been cool.

858
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:57,080
Speaker 3: And I talked about Brandon Jennings. Yeah, sons and four guy,

859
00:35:57,239 --> 00:36:00,520
Speaker 3: I get it. So why not get Brandon Jennings in

860
00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:03,719
Speaker 3: the building. Oh wow, is he available? I don't know.

861
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:07,800
Speaker 3: Bring them in, bring them in. Get him sitting beside,

862
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:11,239
Speaker 3: chance the rapper, because he's sitting front court. There is

863
00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:13,760
Speaker 3: a chance the rapper that this could be a Bucks

864
00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:14,719
Speaker 3: and six. Get him.

865
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:17,719
Speaker 4: Yl I didn't say Cheryl Day last night.

866
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:28,680
Speaker 2: Friend, that's going on. She tried be a fake fan

867
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:30,160
Speaker 2: that she.

868
00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:32,279
Speaker 4: Couldn't get the standing. Romarinely says she was like, I'm

869
00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:32,680
Speaker 4: not going.

870
00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:35,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're excited obviously for Game four. It feels like

871
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:37,680
Speaker 1: it could be the swing game of a series when

872
00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:40,200
Speaker 1: it's two to one and you know, the Bucks tie

873
00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:42,040
Speaker 1: it and we got a best of three, or Sons

874
00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:43,440
Speaker 1: win it and it's like, oh, they have home court

875
00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:46,520
Speaker 1: advantage and they only need one. Would be very difficult.

876
00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:49,000
Speaker 1: I think we would agree for the Bucks comeback. So

877
00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:51,920
Speaker 1: huge game there, it's not till Wednesday. There is this

878
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:54,120
Speaker 1: big gap. I heard Windhorse saying it might have had

879
00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:55,960
Speaker 1: something to do with the MLB.

880
00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:56,680
Speaker 2: All Star Game.

881
00:36:57,440 --> 00:36:59,080
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's true, because it feels like

882
00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:01,520
Speaker 1: they always have this sort of schedule.

883
00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:02,080
Speaker 2: So who knows.

884
00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:04,680
Speaker 1: But Game four Wednesday night and then Game five. You

885
00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:07,000
Speaker 1: guys said it on Saturday night, which is a little

886
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:08,960
Speaker 1: bit of a wild card, but that's okay. I think

887
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:11,680
Speaker 1: we're planning on doing a Sunday morning show.

888
00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:13,200
Speaker 2: To recap that Game five.

889
00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:15,720
Speaker 1: You know, who knows if that will be the Suns

890
00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:17,840
Speaker 1: winning the championship or will it just be an awesome

891
00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:20,239
Speaker 1: Game five and somebody taking a three to two series lead.

892
00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:23,120
Speaker 1: But that's the plan right now and again tomorrow we

893
00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:25,000
Speaker 1: will hit the beach. So get your questions in no

894
00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:28,440
Speaker 1: dunks at the Athletic dot Com. Okay, let's take a break.

895
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:30,239
Speaker 1: We got to get to a well, a bit of

896
00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:32,239
Speaker 1: a shocker when it comes to Team USA and a

897
00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:33,400
Speaker 1: little other NBA news.

898
00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:36,799
Speaker 2: We'll be back in a second til all right back

899
00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:37,400
Speaker 2: with no dunks.

900
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:39,480
Speaker 1: Had a bit of a shocker over the weekend. The

901
00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:43,360
Speaker 1: US fell in its first pre Olympic exhibition game to

902
00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:47,720
Speaker 1: Nigeria ninety to eighty seven Saturday night in Vegas. Upset

903
00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:51,440
Speaker 1: was Team USA's first loss to an African nation in

904
00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:54,120
Speaker 1: team history. So we got to go to our American

905
00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:56,160
Speaker 1: here on the show Trey.

906
00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:57,319
Speaker 2: On a scale of one to.

907
00:37:57,360 --> 00:38:03,160
Speaker 1: Ten, how concerned are you and really Team USA about

908
00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:04,440
Speaker 1: this loss to Nigeria.

909
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:08,280
Speaker 5: I'm at a six right now. Is that high?

910
00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:08,960
Speaker 3: Is that high?

911
00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:10,280
Speaker 2: A little bit higher? Yeah?

912
00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:12,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, I feel a little more concerned than I should.

913
00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:15,040
Speaker 5: Like I've told you before, I don't watch or really

914
00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:17,759
Speaker 5: care about the games that don't count. I'm also not

915
00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:20,919
Speaker 5: surprised that a weird result in Las Vegas. Weird things

916
00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:24,000
Speaker 5: happen there. But the twenty nineteen World Cup taught me

917
00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:27,239
Speaker 5: three things. Number one most important, that US isn't so

918
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:29,399
Speaker 5: far ahead that they can just send any team out

919
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:32,319
Speaker 5: there and rule the rest of the world. And the

920
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:34,560
Speaker 5: twenty twenty one team I think is definitely better than

921
00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:37,880
Speaker 5: the twenty nineteen team. Three guys that are gonna be

922
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:40,719
Speaker 5: playing for Team USA. We're playing in the finals last night,

923
00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:44,120
Speaker 5: so they're not there. But other teams, including Nigeria, have

924
00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:47,960
Speaker 5: NBA talent, and basketball in general is just better at

925
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:51,160
Speaker 5: this point. Number two, when the US loses a friendly,

926
00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:54,680
Speaker 5: you gotta be a little bit concerned. Because Australia beat

927
00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:57,279
Speaker 5: the US in twenty nineteen, I remember thinking.

928
00:38:57,040 --> 00:38:57,800
Speaker 3: Who cares?

929
00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:01,319
Speaker 5: Who cares? This game doesn't mean anything. Next thing you know,

930
00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:05,360
Speaker 5: they're losing in the Fever World Cup, not just once

931
00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:08,320
Speaker 5: but twice. People are catching up. The USA beat Nigeria

932
00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:11,360
Speaker 5: by eighty three in twenty twelve, by forty four in

933
00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:14,759
Speaker 5: twenty sixteen, and then obviously they lost the exhibition game

934
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:20,000
Speaker 5: over the weekend. The third takeaway, maybe Greg Popovich is cursed.

935
00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:22,320
Speaker 5: He was on the bench for the two thousand and

936
00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:26,239
Speaker 5: four Olympics, the lowest moment in USA basketball history. He

937
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:30,720
Speaker 5: sent home bam Autobiyo and Dierren Fox to keep Mason

938
00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:34,239
Speaker 5: Plumbley and Derek White for the twenty nineteen feb World Cup.

939
00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:38,160
Speaker 5: They lost, and then he lost again last night. I'm

940
00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:40,600
Speaker 5: not saying it's Greg Popovic's fault. I'm just saying he

941
00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:43,560
Speaker 5: happens to be around for a lot of the losses

942
00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:46,840
Speaker 5: for Team USA basketball here in the past two decades.

943
00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:50,920
Speaker 5: The best thing that could happen for the US here

944
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:52,960
Speaker 5: is to take this as a wake up call saying, hey,

945
00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:55,440
Speaker 5: we got to play actual basketball every single time we

946
00:39:55,480 --> 00:39:56,600
Speaker 5: go out on the court if we want to get

947
00:39:56,600 --> 00:39:57,160
Speaker 5: a gold medal.

948
00:39:57,960 --> 00:40:00,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is a rare loss for TEAMUS, only their

949
00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:04,040
Speaker 1: third and fifty seven exhibition game since ninety two, and

950
00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:07,040
Speaker 1: the last time though, was against your Australians.

951
00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:09,120
Speaker 2: There Lee, back in nineteen. When it comes to exhibition games.

952
00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:11,600
Speaker 1: But yeah, is this concerning at all? Or is this

953
00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:15,000
Speaker 1: like good in a weird way happens now? Holy crap,

954
00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:17,319
Speaker 1: We've got to get our shit together here. You know,

955
00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:19,920
Speaker 1: they barely played too together. I will see that till

956
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:21,560
Speaker 1: the same I think could be said for in Nigeria.

957
00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:22,759
Speaker 1: So you got to work some King Selp.

958
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:24,960
Speaker 4: But what do you think, Lely, Well, I think that

959
00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:27,480
Speaker 4: the Team USA. The thing is, there's no friendly games

960
00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:30,240
Speaker 4: with them. Every time any team's going up against the USA,

961
00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:32,759
Speaker 4: it's like a barometer to be like we want to

962
00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:34,920
Speaker 4: just get a win against the USA, even if this

963
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:37,919
Speaker 4: doesn't count in any other official sort of standings as

964
00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:40,200
Speaker 4: far as the Olympics are concerned. So every team they

965
00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:42,200
Speaker 4: go up against is giving it their best shot. And

966
00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:44,239
Speaker 4: I really just do think it does highlight the sort

967
00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:46,560
Speaker 4: of lack of consistency in chemistry that these guys have

968
00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:49,120
Speaker 4: had to be able to play together. Because Kevin Durant's

969
00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:50,839
Speaker 4: out on the court, Damian Lillard's out on the court,

970
00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:53,440
Speaker 4: Tatum Bial, all those guys play. This is not the

971
00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:55,920
Speaker 4: twenty nineteen team where it was you know, Brook Lopez

972
00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:58,279
Speaker 4: was there big, and a young Donovan Mitchell's on that team,

973
00:40:58,320 --> 00:41:00,200
Speaker 4: and you know Kemba Walker, who's a good player, but

974
00:41:00,239 --> 00:41:03,120
Speaker 4: he's certainly not Damian Lillard or Kevin Durant. And every

975
00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:05,680
Speaker 4: team is right now going like, you know, this is

976
00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:08,400
Speaker 4: not the Dream Team or even those first five or

977
00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:10,560
Speaker 4: six versions of the Dream Team where it was like

978
00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:12,640
Speaker 4: you just feel that the US has a twenty point

979
00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:15,520
Speaker 4: head start right now, teams are like, we can compete

980
00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:18,040
Speaker 4: with these guys, and Nigeria is just the latest example

981
00:41:18,040 --> 00:41:20,200
Speaker 4: of the team to do that. So I still look

982
00:41:20,239 --> 00:41:22,560
Speaker 4: at the US go in as heavy favorite, still to Tokyo.

983
00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:25,799
Speaker 4: Maybe they don't sweep the whole tournament, but certainly you

984
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:29,040
Speaker 4: know that they don't have that aura of invincibility that

985
00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:31,200
Speaker 4: they used to catch used to have, And it's just

986
00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:34,360
Speaker 4: great for basketball. It shows that world basketball is on

987
00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:37,279
Speaker 4: the rise and Team USA can still roll out a

988
00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:40,160
Speaker 4: great team no matter who plays, but they always have

989
00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:42,640
Speaker 4: to bring their best because the other team is going

990
00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:44,560
Speaker 4: to take any chance they can to just get a victory.

991
00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:46,960
Speaker 4: It doesn't matter what the circumstances are. Win against Team

992
00:41:47,080 --> 00:41:50,440
Speaker 4: USA and basketball is huge for any country's basketball program.

993
00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:54,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, Nigeria came into this game twenty eight point five

994
00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:55,719
Speaker 1: point underdogs.

995
00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:56,040
Speaker 2: Wow.

996
00:41:56,440 --> 00:41:59,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, which is wild, But they're not a bunch of

997
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:01,960
Speaker 1: who are these guys tasks? I mean there was eight

998
00:42:02,080 --> 00:42:04,920
Speaker 1: NBA players on the roster like people you know, maybe

999
00:42:05,040 --> 00:42:08,240
Speaker 1: maybe not a casual fan knows, but diehard NBA fans

1000
00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:13,880
Speaker 1: know Achua Mettu, a Kogi nara okafor Jalil Okafhor on

1001
00:42:13,880 --> 00:42:16,040
Speaker 1: this team and others. I mean, this was a good

1002
00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:18,720
Speaker 1: coach by Mike Brown too, so like there's some talent

1003
00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:21,479
Speaker 1: out there that all set Tmosa should still beat them.

1004
00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:23,400
Speaker 1: But it was one of those games where Nigeria hit

1005
00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:26,280
Speaker 1: like twenty threes. They shot nearly fifty percent from distance

1006
00:42:26,680 --> 00:42:29,200
Speaker 1: and caught them by surprise. But are you concerned at

1007
00:42:29,239 --> 00:42:31,160
Speaker 1: all about TMOSA moving into the Olympics here?

1008
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:36,680
Speaker 3: Concerned isn't the right word. I don't think they were

1009
00:42:37,120 --> 00:42:40,160
Speaker 3: really trying in this game for in a game where

1010
00:42:40,320 --> 00:42:43,160
Speaker 3: you know, this was Nigeria's you know, big game for

1011
00:42:43,719 --> 00:42:45,560
Speaker 3: their their finals or whatever you want to call it.

1012
00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:47,480
Speaker 3: There was. This was a big game for them. You

1013
00:42:47,520 --> 00:42:50,480
Speaker 3: can see a lot of chemistry. I think if you

1014
00:42:50,480 --> 00:42:53,000
Speaker 3: watch some of the plays that Nigeria has. They do

1015
00:42:53,080 --> 00:42:56,000
Speaker 3: have three members of the Miami Heat on their team,

1016
00:42:56,920 --> 00:43:00,920
Speaker 3: with Precious Acheua gave, Vincent kasey Akpala and a great

1017
00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:05,160
Speaker 3: photo of those three guys taking a photo with Bam Metebio,

1018
00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:08,320
Speaker 3: who's obviously their Miami Heat teammate, and Damian Lillard looking

1019
00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:10,080
Speaker 3: back like what the hell are you doing?

1020
00:43:10,160 --> 00:43:10,319
Speaker 5: Man?

1021
00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:13,040
Speaker 3: You're you're taking a photo with the other team. Uh,

1022
00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:18,719
Speaker 3: And then Precious to Chewa. Speaking of Precious, first of all,

1023
00:43:18,760 --> 00:43:23,080
Speaker 3: he's got a great Instagram handle at Precious and after

1024
00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:32,120
Speaker 3: the game big he blocked Kevin Durant in the game, huge, huge,

1025
00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:34,680
Speaker 3: huge block. And then on Instagram, he put up a

1026
00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:39,040
Speaker 3: photo with the caption of him blocking Kevin Durant. The

1027
00:43:39,080 --> 00:43:41,399
Speaker 3: caption is, You're not that guy, Pal, trust me, You're

1028
00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:44,560
Speaker 3: not that guy. The problem is he took it down.

1029
00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:48,520
Speaker 3: I don't know why it was. I don't know. Just

1030
00:43:48,560 --> 00:43:49,640
Speaker 3: do it, I mean, just do it.

1031
00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:50,520
Speaker 5: This was this.

1032
00:43:51,719 --> 00:43:55,000
Speaker 3: It was a great photo, big, big caption there going

1033
00:43:55,120 --> 00:43:58,360
Speaker 3: right at Kevin Durant. You're not that guy, Pal, Trust me,

1034
00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:01,560
Speaker 3: You're not that guy to me. Sort of the Memphis

1035
00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:04,440
Speaker 3: Grizzlies and their attitude when Andrea Gadala sat out the

1036
00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:07,839
Speaker 3: beginning of the season after being you know, champion for

1037
00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:10,160
Speaker 3: several years, and he sat out and got traded away

1038
00:44:10,680 --> 00:44:13,000
Speaker 3: to the Miami Heat, and the Grizzly said, screw that guy.

1039
00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:14,200
Speaker 3: You don't want to be a part of us, and

1040
00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:16,879
Speaker 3: screw off. You know, that attitude that, hey, we're we're

1041
00:44:17,160 --> 00:44:20,080
Speaker 3: better than everybody thinks we are. And yeah, kudos to

1042
00:44:20,120 --> 00:44:23,480
Speaker 3: Mike Brown and the entire team putting it together. And

1043
00:44:23,920 --> 00:44:26,560
Speaker 3: all international teams, although it's you know, mostly NBA players

1044
00:44:27,200 --> 00:44:30,160
Speaker 3: are generally going to have more camaraderie than the American

1045
00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:31,719
Speaker 3: team because they are going to have guys that have

1046
00:44:31,719 --> 00:44:35,200
Speaker 3: played together a little bit more. Just even if it's

1047
00:44:35,239 --> 00:44:37,719
Speaker 3: not in the NBA circles. You've got three members of

1048
00:44:37,719 --> 00:44:40,399
Speaker 3: the Miami Heat here. So I think coming into these

1049
00:44:40,440 --> 00:44:43,959
Speaker 3: exhibition games, these if they if there is a time

1050
00:44:43,960 --> 00:44:45,799
Speaker 3: where these other guys have an upper hand, then it

1051
00:44:45,880 --> 00:44:49,319
Speaker 3: is this point in time. So I'm not worried. But yeah,

1052
00:44:49,360 --> 00:44:52,120
Speaker 3: the gap is has closed, you know you three times

1053
00:44:52,120 --> 00:44:54,799
Speaker 3: in the last fifty seven exhibition games. It's happening, you know,

1054
00:44:54,840 --> 00:44:57,680
Speaker 3: more frequently as we've seen these last two with Australia

1055
00:44:57,680 --> 00:45:01,880
Speaker 3: and Nigeria. But I think these guys are this is

1056
00:45:01,880 --> 00:45:04,920
Speaker 3: in two thousand and four. Uh, these guys aren't going

1057
00:45:04,960 --> 00:45:07,040
Speaker 3: to take it lightly by any means. I think they've learned.

1058
00:45:07,080 --> 00:45:10,600
Speaker 3: So Yeah, as Popish said, it's probably a good sign,

1059
00:45:10,760 --> 00:45:12,480
Speaker 3: a good a good little thing to get it out

1060
00:45:12,520 --> 00:45:12,960
Speaker 3: of the way.

1061
00:45:13,600 --> 00:45:16,000
Speaker 2: You're not that guy, Pal, that's a meme. I didn't

1062
00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:16,239
Speaker 2: know that.

1063
00:45:16,320 --> 00:45:19,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, just looked it up. Yeah, quotes, I'm like that.

1064
00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:22,040
Speaker 1: He must be referencing something. Is it pretty funny?

1065
00:45:22,080 --> 00:45:24,560
Speaker 2: Ricks isn't a meme? Yeah, it's a try you know

1066
00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:26,080
Speaker 2: of the meme, the viral video.

1067
00:45:26,200 --> 00:45:28,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, he's got a bit of a lee Ellis

1068
00:45:28,719 --> 00:45:31,560
Speaker 5: look to him if I'm being quite honest, an angry

1069
00:45:31,560 --> 00:45:34,200
Speaker 5: man in a store, of course. And I just went

1070
00:45:34,239 --> 00:45:38,280
Speaker 5: and checked precious his Instagram. It looks like the picture

1071
00:45:38,360 --> 00:45:41,280
Speaker 5: is still up, but now it's part of a carousel slide.

1072
00:45:42,200 --> 00:45:43,840
Speaker 3: That's my mistake. That's my mistake.

1073
00:45:44,680 --> 00:45:47,759
Speaker 5: I did notice in the original post he had yo

1074
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:51,520
Speaker 5: you are Now it's wyo you apostrophe are nice. So

1075
00:45:51,600 --> 00:45:55,160
Speaker 5: maybe he just wanted to update his you know, his

1076
00:45:55,160 --> 00:45:57,600
Speaker 5: his typographical error there because he's getting a lot of

1077
00:45:57,600 --> 00:45:59,840
Speaker 5: heat on this, on this Instagram. You don't want to

1078
00:45:59,840 --> 00:46:02,080
Speaker 5: be a fool, right skeets. You hate that you're getting

1079
00:46:02,120 --> 00:46:05,640
Speaker 5: great engagement. You notice a typo there. Luckily, though, Instagram

1080
00:46:05,719 --> 00:46:06,799
Speaker 5: lets you change things, so you.

1081
00:46:06,719 --> 00:46:10,200
Speaker 1: Know exactly exactly if that's Twitter. He's got to, like

1082
00:46:10,360 --> 00:46:12,759
Speaker 1: gott to make the decision. Can he sleep at night?

1083
00:46:12,840 --> 00:46:14,319
Speaker 1: Or do you take it down even though it's got

1084
00:46:14,320 --> 00:46:16,800
Speaker 1: great engagement and just do it again with the correct spelling?

1085
00:46:17,160 --> 00:46:19,080
Speaker 1: Do you throw that in grammarly see what it pumps

1086
00:46:19,080 --> 00:46:21,680
Speaker 1: out at you. I don't know, but yeah, good Win

1087
00:46:21,719 --> 00:46:24,359
Speaker 1: from teen Nageria there, and you know Mike Brown getting

1088
00:46:24,360 --> 00:46:25,920
Speaker 1: a little revenge from the seven Finals.

1089
00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:31,280
Speaker 2: I saw people point waiting, Yeah yeah, and he's struck

1090
00:46:31,280 --> 00:46:32,520
Speaker 2: in the perfect time if you ask me.

1091
00:46:33,360 --> 00:46:36,279
Speaker 1: All right, other little piece of news here, we'll go

1092
00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:40,320
Speaker 1: to the headline from real GM Wolves plan on pursuing

1093
00:46:40,360 --> 00:46:43,320
Speaker 1: trade for Ben Simmons. Yeah, if Ben Simmons becomes available

1094
00:46:43,320 --> 00:46:46,640
Speaker 1: in trade talks, sources tell the Athletic that the Minnesota

1095
00:46:46,680 --> 00:46:48,560
Speaker 1: Timberwolves will enter the bidding.

1096
00:46:49,080 --> 00:46:50,040
Speaker 2: On a scale of one to ten.

1097
00:46:50,120 --> 00:46:54,080
Speaker 1: Lely, how likely is a Wolves sixers Ben Simmons trade

1098
00:46:54,120 --> 00:46:54,479
Speaker 1: in your.

1099
00:46:54,400 --> 00:46:57,960
Speaker 4: Mind based on the reporting only around about it too?

1100
00:46:58,480 --> 00:47:01,760
Speaker 4: To me, I don't think it's happening because the Wolves.

1101
00:47:01,880 --> 00:47:04,040
Speaker 4: Now again, this is Danny LaRue and John Krasinski here

1102
00:47:04,040 --> 00:47:05,879
Speaker 4: from the Athletic sort of saying what it would take.

1103
00:47:06,160 --> 00:47:09,200
Speaker 4: They're saying, you know, Malik Beasley and Ricky Rubio to

1104
00:47:09,239 --> 00:47:11,719
Speaker 4: get the sort of salaries close there and perhaps someone else.

1105
00:47:11,760 --> 00:47:14,600
Speaker 4: But if you're the Philadelphia seventy six as, you are

1106
00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:17,360
Speaker 4: going to expect a whole lot more in return for

1107
00:47:17,400 --> 00:47:19,640
Speaker 4: Ben Simmons. This is not just let's make the salaries

1108
00:47:19,719 --> 00:47:23,040
Speaker 4: work deal. Now, Let's say in theory Darrel Moury loses

1109
00:47:23,080 --> 00:47:25,640
Speaker 4: his mind and says, okay, I do that deal. Then yes,

1110
00:47:25,719 --> 00:47:28,120
Speaker 4: I think the Minnesota tim Wolves would be a decent

1111
00:47:28,160 --> 00:47:30,279
Speaker 4: spot for him there on that team where you know

1112
00:47:30,560 --> 00:47:33,320
Speaker 4: he's got Karl Anthony Towns. Anthony Edwards has been shown

1113
00:47:33,320 --> 00:47:35,440
Speaker 4: that he can be a very good player if he

1114
00:47:35,480 --> 00:47:38,400
Speaker 4: can work on that three point shot. I don't quite

1115
00:47:38,440 --> 00:47:40,600
Speaker 4: know how fits there with D'Angelo Russell. Maybe he gets

1116
00:47:40,600 --> 00:47:43,439
Speaker 4: straight back, but you know, yeah, Ben Simmons is still

1117
00:47:43,440 --> 00:47:45,520
Speaker 4: a very good player. He can still impact teams in

1118
00:47:45,560 --> 00:47:48,040
Speaker 4: a variety of ways, and there's going to be no

1119
00:47:48,120 --> 00:47:50,759
Speaker 4: shortage of teams out there interested in the services. But

1120
00:47:51,360 --> 00:47:54,920
Speaker 4: it's going to take a significant package still to pry

1121
00:47:55,040 --> 00:47:57,560
Speaker 4: him away from the Philadelphia seventy sixers. And I don't

1122
00:47:57,600 --> 00:48:02,080
Speaker 4: think based on this sort of more just hypothetically speaking

1123
00:48:02,080 --> 00:48:04,000
Speaker 4: there anyway, I don't think that would get it done

1124
00:48:04,040 --> 00:48:05,080
Speaker 4: from the timber Wolves.

1125
00:48:05,400 --> 00:48:06,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, the interesting.

1126
00:48:06,160 --> 00:48:08,640
Speaker 1: Part I thought from the guys that the athletic was

1127
00:48:08,680 --> 00:48:11,200
Speaker 1: saying that they even if they were to make this

1128
00:48:11,239 --> 00:48:14,040
Speaker 1: move for Ben Simmons, they have plans that D'Angelo Russell.

1129
00:48:13,840 --> 00:48:15,879
Speaker 2: Is still involved with this squad moving forward.

1130
00:48:15,920 --> 00:48:18,200
Speaker 1: Because when I was proposing this trade, if you remember

1131
00:48:18,200 --> 00:48:20,560
Speaker 1: when I was going through like the ten to twelve

1132
00:48:20,600 --> 00:48:23,360
Speaker 1: Ben Simmons trades with every team in the league, I

1133
00:48:23,360 --> 00:48:25,960
Speaker 1: figured Russell would be going back, you know, monetary reasons

1134
00:48:25,960 --> 00:48:28,120
Speaker 1: make the contracts work. But also, like you just said, Lee,

1135
00:48:28,239 --> 00:48:30,560
Speaker 1: like you Ben Simmons would come in there, maybe take

1136
00:48:30,560 --> 00:48:32,560
Speaker 1: that role a little bit more and.

1137
00:48:32,360 --> 00:48:33,840
Speaker 2: You could see the sixers.

1138
00:48:33,840 --> 00:48:35,399
Speaker 1: Now, maybe it's still not enough, but like a little

1139
00:48:35,440 --> 00:48:37,239
Speaker 1: more intrigue in a shooter like Russell, a guy that

1140
00:48:37,239 --> 00:48:39,200
Speaker 1: could take over in a fourth quarter of stuff like that.

1141
00:48:39,440 --> 00:48:42,680
Speaker 1: But yeah, they are saying no, like that's not the case,

1142
00:48:42,719 --> 00:48:45,680
Speaker 1: and maybe it would be something more like Rubio and Beasley.

1143
00:48:45,719 --> 00:48:47,880
Speaker 1: So that was intriguing to me. I still think this

1144
00:48:47,920 --> 00:48:49,239
Speaker 1: makes a lot of sense for both teams. I think

1145
00:48:49,239 --> 00:48:52,160
Speaker 1: there's something here, and of course the relationship between the

1146
00:48:52,160 --> 00:48:53,280
Speaker 1: former gms helps.

1147
00:48:53,280 --> 00:48:54,200
Speaker 2: That always helps.

1148
00:48:54,680 --> 00:48:55,040
Speaker 3: They feel a.

1149
00:48:55,040 --> 00:48:56,759
Speaker 1: Little more comfortable working with each other and maybe they

1150
00:48:56,760 --> 00:48:58,960
Speaker 1: don't feel like they're getting hosed as much and a

1151
00:48:59,400 --> 00:49:02,120
Speaker 1: potential deal. But Tray, do you make a you think

1152
00:49:02,120 --> 00:49:03,240
Speaker 1: there's any smoke to this.

1153
00:49:03,320 --> 00:49:04,080
Speaker 2: Little fire here?

1154
00:49:04,600 --> 00:49:08,120
Speaker 5: Well, like you're saying, it makes sense if the Timberwolves

1155
00:49:08,160 --> 00:49:11,040
Speaker 5: are willing to include di'angelo Russell, and that's the only

1156
00:49:11,080 --> 00:49:12,719
Speaker 5: way it could make any sort of sense to me,

1157
00:49:12,840 --> 00:49:15,720
Speaker 5: because as you're clearing a way for Simmons to handle

1158
00:49:15,760 --> 00:49:18,160
Speaker 5: the ball a little bit, though. I imagine Edwards will

1159
00:49:18,239 --> 00:49:20,239
Speaker 5: kind of be the number one guy going forward on

1160
00:49:20,320 --> 00:49:22,719
Speaker 5: that team. But you got to give up something to

1161
00:49:22,760 --> 00:49:25,080
Speaker 5: get something. Ben Simmons is still a good player. He's

1162
00:49:25,120 --> 00:49:28,120
Speaker 5: still an All Star caliber player, an All NBA guy,

1163
00:49:28,440 --> 00:49:31,440
Speaker 5: or an All defensive guy sometimes All NBA it can happen.

1164
00:49:32,040 --> 00:49:35,080
Speaker 5: But if they're trying to get Ben Simmons for Ricky

1165
00:49:35,160 --> 00:49:38,120
Speaker 5: Rubio and Malik Beasley, it ain't gonna happen.

1166
00:49:38,360 --> 00:49:38,879
Speaker 3: You know, the.

1167
00:49:38,840 --> 00:49:41,480
Speaker 5: Sixers are gonna want a lot back in Maybe that's

1168
00:49:41,520 --> 00:49:44,400
Speaker 5: why the Timberwolves are sliding in here, trying to be

1169
00:49:44,440 --> 00:49:46,520
Speaker 5: the first to the market, saying here's some things we

1170
00:49:46,560 --> 00:49:49,280
Speaker 5: would be interested in, and then you know, the Sixers

1171
00:49:49,320 --> 00:49:52,480
Speaker 5: can play that offer off other teams as well, and

1172
00:49:52,520 --> 00:49:55,720
Speaker 5: then maybe you know, I don't think from this piece

1173
00:49:55,760 --> 00:49:58,279
Speaker 5: that Krazinski and LaRue had it didn't seem to me

1174
00:49:58,560 --> 00:50:01,840
Speaker 5: that the timber Wolves are quite as worried about Karl

1175
00:50:01,880 --> 00:50:05,600
Speaker 5: Anthony Towns's relationship with DiAngelo Russell, which you know was

1176
00:50:05,600 --> 00:50:07,080
Speaker 5: a big part of the reason that they brought him

1177
00:50:07,120 --> 00:50:09,120
Speaker 5: in the first place. They're saying that's not going to

1178
00:50:09,160 --> 00:50:12,520
Speaker 5: factor into their decision, which means that to me, it

1179
00:50:12,800 --> 00:50:15,200
Speaker 5: seems even if they're not willing to throw Russell in

1180
00:50:15,280 --> 00:50:17,680
Speaker 5: the deal right now, they will be in the future.

1181
00:50:18,160 --> 00:50:18,359
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1182
00:50:18,400 --> 00:50:20,600
Speaker 5: If that's the case, then maybe something could happen with

1183
00:50:20,640 --> 00:50:21,120
Speaker 5: these teams.

1184
00:50:21,600 --> 00:50:21,839
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1185
00:50:21,880 --> 00:50:24,120
Speaker 1: Again, I sort of thought it was more likely Russell

1186
00:50:24,280 --> 00:50:27,040
Speaker 1: Beasley a pick for Simmons and George Hill.

1187
00:50:28,040 --> 00:50:29,680
Speaker 2: Maybe there's something to that task.

1188
00:50:29,719 --> 00:50:32,600
Speaker 1: But anything to add to this headline from real GM

1189
00:50:32,640 --> 00:50:34,359
Speaker 1: and the report from the guys at the Athletic.

1190
00:50:35,160 --> 00:50:38,880
Speaker 3: I don't think the Wolves have enough to offer. We

1191
00:50:38,920 --> 00:50:42,399
Speaker 3: watched last year when Ricky Rubio was traded for Chris Paul,

1192
00:50:42,520 --> 00:50:45,879
Speaker 3: but he was traded to an Okay, see team that

1193
00:50:46,960 --> 00:50:50,880
Speaker 3: you know, just was obviously tanking, and so Ricky Rubio,

1194
00:50:51,440 --> 00:50:54,279
Speaker 3: you know, as part of this package. I don't I

1195
00:50:54,320 --> 00:50:57,319
Speaker 3: don't think the Suns are They're not doing that. I mean,

1196
00:50:57,360 --> 00:50:59,000
Speaker 3: Ben Simmons is at a different point of his career

1197
00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:02,720
Speaker 3: than Chris Paul. He just far, far younger. He demands

1198
00:51:02,760 --> 00:51:04,960
Speaker 3: a lot more in trade value. Back Now, you know,

1199
00:51:05,000 --> 00:51:08,319
Speaker 3: I watched the Minnesota Timberwolves a billion times this season,

1200
00:51:08,360 --> 00:51:10,520
Speaker 3: and I'm gonna keep using that word billion, but I

1201
00:51:10,640 --> 00:51:13,080
Speaker 3: you know, I loved watching Anthony Edwards this season, and

1202
00:51:13,080 --> 00:51:17,040
Speaker 3: and you see a lot of potential around the around him,

1203
00:51:17,160 --> 00:51:19,920
Speaker 3: and and so I'm not sure. Darryl Morey looks at

1204
00:51:19,960 --> 00:51:23,600
Speaker 3: the Minnesota Timberwolves roster with all these J guys because

1205
00:51:23,600 --> 00:51:26,520
Speaker 3: they have a billion J names on their roster, and

1206
00:51:26,560 --> 00:51:30,239
Speaker 3: he sees Jared Culver or Josh Cozy or Jaden McDaniels

1207
00:51:30,320 --> 00:51:34,200
Speaker 3: or Jalen Noel or Jordan McLaughlin or Jared Vanderbilt too

1208
00:51:34,200 --> 00:51:37,800
Speaker 3: they can't trade right now, or Juan Hernan Gomez, Oh

1209
00:51:37,960 --> 00:51:41,960
Speaker 3: that's a hurry. And I skipped over Jake Layman because

1210
00:51:41,960 --> 00:51:43,600
Speaker 3: I don't think he's necessarily a big part of this

1211
00:51:43,640 --> 00:51:47,240
Speaker 3: field out But there's there's so many There's a lot

1212
00:51:48,320 --> 00:51:52,359
Speaker 3: of potential there in those guys. And Malie Easley can

1213
00:51:52,360 --> 00:51:55,520
Speaker 3: shoot the ball. But what's your main part that's coming

1214
00:51:55,560 --> 00:52:01,279
Speaker 3: back from the Minnesota Timberwolves, are you? Well? Yeah, they

1215
00:52:01,280 --> 00:52:04,839
Speaker 3: want to they want is some scoring. Busy could shoot,

1216
00:52:05,040 --> 00:52:07,640
Speaker 3: could score? Yeah, yeah, he's a really he can. He

1217
00:52:07,680 --> 00:52:11,520
Speaker 3: can fill it up, no doubt. But what are we

1218
00:52:11,600 --> 00:52:13,440
Speaker 3: doing here? I mean, they're trying to win a championship

1219
00:52:13,480 --> 00:52:16,000
Speaker 3: around Joel Embiid, And you know, you can't put it

1220
00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:20,560
Speaker 3: off for several years. You can't. I just don't see

1221
00:52:20,560 --> 00:52:25,239
Speaker 3: it happening a lot of Yeah, there's there's there's potential there,

1222
00:52:25,320 --> 00:52:27,480
Speaker 3: but I don't know. I wouldn't be banking on Russell

1223
00:52:27,880 --> 00:52:30,600
Speaker 3: or Rubio or Beasley to bring home. Uh. You know,

1224
00:52:30,840 --> 00:52:34,000
Speaker 3: I understand that Simmons was quote unquote afraid to shoot.

1225
00:52:34,280 --> 00:52:35,880
Speaker 3: He didn't want to shoot at the end of the games.

1226
00:52:36,160 --> 00:52:39,960
Speaker 3: And with these guys you will have shooters. But you know,

1227
00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:42,560
Speaker 3: Simmons is still a really, really good player. So I

1228
00:52:42,600 --> 00:52:45,640
Speaker 3: don't think they're I don't think they're or selling low.

1229
00:52:45,719 --> 00:52:48,040
Speaker 3: I should say, you know, kind of like uh, you

1230
00:52:48,080 --> 00:52:51,160
Speaker 3: know the okay see was able to do with with

1231
00:52:51,280 --> 00:52:54,080
Speaker 3: Chris Paul because they were just looking for picks. I mean,

1232
00:52:54,080 --> 00:52:56,759
Speaker 3: it's just it's a different time. Uh. And point for

1233
00:52:56,800 --> 00:52:58,080
