And we know who 67 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 4: these seventh seeds are because we got talk about last 68 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:26,040 Speaker 4: night's games. They felt like two different sports. We're being 69 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:29,800 Speaker 4: completely honest. We watched a bit of the Eastern Conference 70 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:31,600 Speaker 4: playing game on playback. 71 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:32,959 Speaker 3: Yeah that didn't work. 72 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:34,560 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean it was a I guess it was 73 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,119 Speaker 4: a basketball game. But then we had this one, which 74 00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 4: we're going to unpack here, the Golden State Warriors hanging 75 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 4: on to defeat the Grizzlies one sixteen in that NBA 76 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 4: playing tournament game. They earned the number seven seed in 77 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 4: the Western Conference. They will face the number two seeded 78 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 4: Rockets in the first round. Again. We'll preview that series 79 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:53,120 Speaker 4: a little later this week, but we got to talk 80 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:56,960 Speaker 4: about the game, because holy crap, was this the most 81 00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:01,160 Speaker 4: exciting game in play in tournament history. I'll ask the question. 82 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 4: I got the guts to ask it. 83 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 3: You got the guts to look through every calendar year 84 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 3: of the play enter Na. 85 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,040 Speaker 7: To remember any other playing game. 86 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:11,960 Speaker 4: They just disappeared. 87 00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,840 Speaker 7: Yeah, they happened. Enjoy it, and you forget it by 88 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 7: the get unforgettable for at least twenty four hours game. 89 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:21,040 Speaker 3: The Western Conference is ready for some playing tournament games. 90 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:25,279 Speaker 3: I mean, even even when the Grizzlies become that eight seed. 91 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 3: I mean, I'm excited to see the Memphis Grizzlies get there. 92 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:30,920 Speaker 3: They fought in this game. They scrapped in this game 93 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 3: down twenty to make it a close one up until 94 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:37,839 Speaker 3: Santi Aldama couldn't inbound the ball and there was a 95 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:39,520 Speaker 3: five second violation. 96 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 7: Which I thought the referee was a little. 97 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:42,800 Speaker 3: Quick on that. But you could just put the ball in. 98 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 7: Really, I thought it was an It was pretty close 99 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:46,560 Speaker 7: to no. 100 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:48,600 Speaker 6: I did the count with them. Yeah, I did the ball. 101 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:50,720 Speaker 7: People timed it out with a stop watch. 102 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:52,599 Speaker 3: Well, yeah, I don't think. 103 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:54,080 Speaker 4: He wanted to call it, I'll be honest. 104 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:56,560 Speaker 7: Well it was in less than five seconds from when 105 00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:57,679 Speaker 7: the Grizzlies started moving. 106 00:04:57,880 --> 00:04:59,840 Speaker 6: They stood there for they were sick in the half. 107 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,159 Speaker 7: After he got the ball. There is a problem. But also, 108 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,919 Speaker 7: like this guy just got named the head coach, maybe 109 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,880 Speaker 7: call a better play, something that actually works. John Rant 110 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,680 Speaker 7: went the wrong way. The other pass would have been 111 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:13,840 Speaker 7: like a fifty five footer over the top to Desmond 112 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:16,040 Speaker 7: Bane Santi Al Damas, not like a passer. 113 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:18,040 Speaker 3: I mean, did he go the wrong way? I mean 114 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 3: he ran, he got into Gary Payton, he got there 115 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 3: too slow. Gary Payton put his arm around him. Whatever, 116 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,720 Speaker 3: that doesn't matter. But yeah, they started, they started, they 117 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:30,760 Speaker 3: started calamity. Yeah yeah, I mean yeah, sant to them. 118 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 3: It just literally just could have rolled it out onto 119 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,600 Speaker 3: the floor. They didn't have a timeout, obviously, doesn't put 120 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,160 Speaker 3: it out there. Man, That was the unfortunate part. But 121 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:41,000 Speaker 3: Moran getting the ball there would have been good from 122 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:42,919 Speaker 3: that side because of his athletics and because of the 123 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,279 Speaker 3: plays he showed last night despite the ankle injury, fighting 124 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:50,200 Speaker 3: back He looked really good when he could to make 125 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 3: this game super fun. You know, Steph stopped him with 126 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:56,400 Speaker 3: one minute left, got all physical with Morent. It went 127 00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:58,239 Speaker 3: down to the wire. Obviously, it all starts with Jimmy 128 00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 3: Butler for this Warriors team, Jimmy Butler is a new guy. 129 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:02,840 Speaker 3: He really is a new guy. We watched him on 130 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:06,000 Speaker 3: the Miami Heat this year and he was shooting three, four, five, 131 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 3: six times a game. He looked incredible when he was 132 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:12,400 Speaker 3: just driving into Zach Edy, forcing the referee. You got 133 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:16,159 Speaker 3: to call something playing Jimmy bumper against everybody. Santi al 134 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,520 Speaker 3: Dama as well, getting past him because Aldama wasn't moving 135 00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:21,320 Speaker 3: his fees, forcing the referees to make a call. But 136 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:23,320 Speaker 3: it wasn't just there where he went to the free 137 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 3: throw line eighteen times. I mean his motor was hot 138 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,599 Speaker 3: on the offensive boards, getting a couple of their three steals, 139 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:31,719 Speaker 3: getting into the passing lanes. So he looks like an 140 00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:35,520 Speaker 3: incredibly new player period in the last two games. 141 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:38,000 Speaker 4: When the Warriors made that trade for Jimmy Butler in February, 142 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:39,839 Speaker 4: this is what they envisioned. This is why you do 143 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:40,280 Speaker 4: this deal. 144 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:43,040 Speaker 3: Eighteen free throws, I mean that's a lot of free throws, like. 145 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,120 Speaker 4: A second score to help out Curry, who was obviously 146 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,479 Speaker 4: burdened to carry the offensive load. They got it in 147 00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:50,400 Speaker 4: these last two games. Obviously he didn't beat the Clippers, 148 00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:52,440 Speaker 4: but then they get it here and they're the seven seeds. 149 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:54,719 Speaker 4: Thirty eight points for Jimmy Butler, seven boards, six assists 150 00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:57,599 Speaker 4: of three steals. Like you said, tasks, no signs of 151 00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:02,000 Speaker 4: being affected by the left quad that he took the 152 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,680 Speaker 4: shot from Kawhi on Sunday. He looked fine and he 153 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 4: was just forcing his way downhill all night TK and 154 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:10,040 Speaker 4: obviously got to the line a ton. He left some 155 00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,720 Speaker 4: points on the boards oddly missing free throws for him, 156 00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:14,760 Speaker 4: but yeah, he was huge, and then Steph Curry took 157 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:15,280 Speaker 4: over late. 158 00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 7: Yeah, it starts with Jimmy, it ends with Steph. Jimmy 159 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:20,840 Speaker 7: carried through the first three quarters basically when Steph was struggling. 160 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,480 Speaker 7: It was five for fifteen at one point, but obviously 161 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:25,320 Speaker 7: the free throws made up for at twenty five for 162 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:28,800 Speaker 7: thirty one just between Jimmy and Steph Curry. Stephan was 163 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:31,160 Speaker 7: like laughing shooting his free throws in the fourth quarter, 164 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 7: Like what was John Moran saying He's like, you're gonna 165 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:35,720 Speaker 7: miss one. Eventually, you're gonna miss you guys, keep shooting 166 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 7: all these free throws, you gotta miss one. Obviously, the 167 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:39,920 Speaker 7: thumb's gonna be a problem for Curry for the rest 168 00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,360 Speaker 7: of however long they're going, just because it gets hitt 169 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:44,200 Speaker 7: in weird ways like I got caught on a jersey 170 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:46,360 Speaker 7: last night, but didn't phase him at all when it 171 00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 7: came to knocking down the clutch free throws or the 172 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:51,560 Speaker 7: back to back threes, like yeah, you just Jimmy Butler 173 00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:54,520 Speaker 7: kept them ahead, got them the big lead in the 174 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,080 Speaker 7: second quarter. He was just eating Zach Edi alive. It 175 00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,640 Speaker 7: was awesome to watch Jimmy playing like he was seven 176 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 7: foot four and Edie playing like he was five foot five, 177 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:04,680 Speaker 7: going at him every time. Then when it came down 178 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:06,840 Speaker 7: to it, Curry had just enough to get him over 179 00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,440 Speaker 7: the line and enough defense as well to get the 180 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:11,920 Speaker 7: stop there on the five second call, which you know 181 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:14,000 Speaker 7: could have been a better play, but also the Warriors 182 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:15,560 Speaker 7: were all over him. There was nowhere to get the 183 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:15,960 Speaker 7: ball in. 184 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,880 Speaker 4: So breaking everybody outside of the three point Like. 185 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:21,400 Speaker 7: Maybe they could have passed it into Canarden. What's that 186 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:24,000 Speaker 7: gonna do he's gonna get filed right away. So awesome stuff. 187 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:25,840 Speaker 7: This is exactly why they did the trade. They don't 188 00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:27,080 Speaker 7: win this game. If that's Andrew. 189 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,720 Speaker 3: Wiggins, No, that's totally true. Yeah. I didn't know that 190 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,080 Speaker 3: Jimmy Butler would just transform into this guy who he 191 00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:33,160 Speaker 3: was a couple of years ago. 192 00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:34,240 Speaker 7: He does, I know he doesn't. 193 00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 3: Last year he was hurting the playoffs. This year, he's 194 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:41,360 Speaker 3: just back to the old Jimmy. And they're lacking a 195 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:45,200 Speaker 3: third score, that's for sure. In this game they needed one. 196 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:48,040 Speaker 3: But I would say Quinton Post and Gary Payton the 197 00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:51,400 Speaker 3: second off the bench were monstrous. Not only did they 198 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:53,600 Speaker 3: score in double did just twelve and eleven points, but 199 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,840 Speaker 3: getting after the offensive boards, I mean, they just got 200 00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 3: these clutch, clutch times where they were able to get 201 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:02,120 Speaker 3: on the on the on the glass. Even Gary Payton 202 00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:04,200 Speaker 3: second doesn't have one, but he was able to tap 203 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:07,160 Speaker 3: one back with seven minutes left in this game. That 204 00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 3: was a huge, monstrous one. And Quentin Post turned into 205 00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:13,200 Speaker 3: a Steph Curry monstrous three. That bomb three though, like 206 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:16,839 Speaker 3: thirty three feet away. So those were monstrous plays along 207 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,360 Speaker 3: with their double digits. I mean, their third leading scorer 208 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:21,640 Speaker 3: had twelve points in this game and they're somehow able 209 00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:21,920 Speaker 3: to win. 210 00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:23,640 Speaker 4: I'm with you on both those guys posts. Like you 211 00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:25,439 Speaker 4: said he hit three threes, I think it was grabbed 212 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 4: a couple of boards. I mean he's battling Zach Edie, 213 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:28,800 Speaker 4: who is a giant. I think he was a plus 214 00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:31,560 Speaker 4: twelve off the bench, so that's massive. I thought even 215 00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:33,719 Speaker 4: I thought Kurt was like going away from post there 216 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:35,240 Speaker 4: in the second half. I was like, you might want 217 00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:36,880 Speaker 4: to get posted here. He was giving you something. And 218 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,240 Speaker 4: then Gary Payton Second, I didn't bring this up when 219 00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,400 Speaker 4: we talked about the Clippers Warriors game. I thought he 220 00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:43,760 Speaker 4: played horrible in that game. It sort of got overlooked. 221 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:45,680 Speaker 4: I did not think Gary Payton second had a good game, 222 00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:47,120 Speaker 4: and there was a lot of talking like, oh I 223 00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:49,080 Speaker 4: should coming to be playing and all that. But man, 224 00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:51,440 Speaker 4: this one this is why you know he's out there 225 00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:54,000 Speaker 4: for defensive reasons. But he was contributing as well. Wasn't 226 00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:56,160 Speaker 4: afraid to take some threes, like you said, for being 227 00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:57,680 Speaker 4: as small as he is, he gets on the glass. 228 00:09:57,720 --> 00:09:59,719 Speaker 4: So those guys were it just gave him just a 229 00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:05,040 Speaker 4: numb to obviously help the superstars who combined for what seventy. 230 00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:08,480 Speaker 7: Seventy five combined. But they those guys need to be better. 231 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:10,480 Speaker 7: They weren't very good in the second half. Post and 232 00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,199 Speaker 7: Gary Payton and honestly all the rest of the Warriors 233 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:16,440 Speaker 7: that weren't basically Steph were gun shy one for ten 234 00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:18,439 Speaker 7: in the second half from three, and they were passing 235 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:22,400 Speaker 7: up shots. Jimmy included, they need somebody who's gonna take 236 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 7: those shots. I thought Post was awesome. He should have 237 00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:27,200 Speaker 7: gotten more looks. I think Gary Payton the second like, 238 00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:30,280 Speaker 7: if he hits three, you're loving life. He shouldn't take 239 00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:33,240 Speaker 7: more posts, should uh? And Buddy healed, like, this is 240 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:35,720 Speaker 7: just how it goes. Man. He's awesome the first couple 241 00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,079 Speaker 7: of months of the season and he is unplayable by 242 00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:40,840 Speaker 7: the end of the playoffs. But maybe he'll hit some 243 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:44,200 Speaker 7: I don't, I don't know. You see this game, the 244 00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:46,520 Speaker 7: way they were handling Jared Jackson junior, the way they 245 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 7: were handling Edie, you forecast forward. They're not gonna be 246 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:51,720 Speaker 7: playing against the Houston Rockets, who do very similar stuff 247 00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:54,600 Speaker 7: to the Memphis Grizzlies at a higher level. You can't 248 00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:57,720 Speaker 7: be super inspired by the second half that the Warriors played. 249 00:10:57,760 --> 00:10:59,360 Speaker 7: They do still have the two best guys in the 250 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:04,200 Speaker 7: series a ssolutely in Wiggins or yeah, Wiggans throwback in 251 00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:06,679 Speaker 7: Jimmy Butler and in Steph Curry. So they're gonna have 252 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,079 Speaker 7: a chance, but it's gonna be a tough series against 253 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:10,840 Speaker 7: the Rockets. When you see the way things went down 254 00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:14,520 Speaker 7: against the Grizzlies, like there were trepidacious moments. I thought 255 00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:16,880 Speaker 7: for Golden State, they weren't playing great in the second half. 256 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,679 Speaker 3: Yeah, the size is definitely a worry going against the 257 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:21,920 Speaker 3: Houston Rockets, and he saw Draymond was able to fight 258 00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:25,280 Speaker 3: Zach Edy and do enough against Zaki Edy. Zach Edy 259 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:27,800 Speaker 3: seven offensive boards. He's just standing there. I mean, I 260 00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,080 Speaker 3: think this offseason he just needs to learn how to 261 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 3: use that lower body more because. 262 00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:35,000 Speaker 4: Don't bring the ball down either. 263 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:36,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, he got stripped. 264 00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:38,880 Speaker 4: He had a weird game, like he was really involved 265 00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:41,000 Speaker 4: in a lot of action, Like he was obviously trusted 266 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:42,960 Speaker 4: by the Grizzlies, Like he had a good game, but 267 00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:45,480 Speaker 4: then he had some the throw doubles at him. He 268 00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:47,600 Speaker 4: panics obviously anytime the ball comes down. 269 00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:49,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, but he's a monster. 270 00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:51,640 Speaker 7: I thought they looked a lot better offensively without Dom 271 00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:56,120 Speaker 7: on the court a lot better. I had the statspare 272 00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:56,920 Speaker 7: it out as well. 273 00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:00,040 Speaker 4: Yeah, Zachi Edy had a bad game, though I don't. 274 00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:01,920 Speaker 7: Think the reason that they were down by twenty two 275 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,160 Speaker 7: was because of Zach Edie well, and that was they 276 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:06,079 Speaker 7: were battling back the entire time in the second half, 277 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:07,760 Speaker 7: so he trusted. 278 00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:09,280 Speaker 4: Him in the second half though they went to him 279 00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:09,640 Speaker 4: a lot. 280 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, I wouldn't say he did some bad things missing shots, 281 00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:15,679 Speaker 3: but I mean he's a plus six because literally he 282 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,920 Speaker 3: was able to grab offensive boards and create second opportunities 283 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:22,880 Speaker 3: and just throw him the ball. But I think after 284 00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:25,280 Speaker 3: a while, Draymond was just able to get into his 285 00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:27,280 Speaker 3: head a little bit, and he literally needs to go 286 00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:29,240 Speaker 3: into the offseason, Yeah, learn how to pass out of 287 00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:32,320 Speaker 3: double teams. Yeah, but also work on those. 288 00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:33,360 Speaker 6: Thighs, those glutes. 289 00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:35,560 Speaker 3: He should be able to get down on a guy 290 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:38,400 Speaker 3: like Draymond Green, who he's a foot taller then and 291 00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:40,200 Speaker 3: be able to get better positioned so he could just 292 00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:42,480 Speaker 3: pass it to him. So I don't know if that works. 293 00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:46,400 Speaker 3: But that being said, the brand of Pajemski, I think 294 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:48,120 Speaker 3: is the biggest question for the Golden State Warriors. Like 295 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:51,400 Speaker 3: he was awesome well last night, He's stuck. Yeah, but 296 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:53,360 Speaker 3: he was awesome. When Jimmy Butler came to this team, 297 00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:55,079 Speaker 3: he turned into a new player. And then all of 298 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:57,000 Speaker 3: a sudden, he's he's gotten cold the last little while. 299 00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:58,839 Speaker 3: So they just need a third guy. I mean, they 300 00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:01,280 Speaker 3: literally don't have a third guy, whether it's him or 301 00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:03,520 Speaker 3: Moses Moody or Jaymond Green to be an offensive guy. 302 00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:06,080 Speaker 3: It ain't gonna be Green. Moody's not well Moody. 303 00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:07,880 Speaker 4: It all depends if he hits his first shot or two. 304 00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:10,680 Speaker 4: If he doesn't, he almost never takes a shot after 305 00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,600 Speaker 4: that or is very hesitated too. So he's like one 306 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:14,880 Speaker 4: of those guys like that first one goes in and 307 00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:17,120 Speaker 4: you're feeling pretty good. He's feeling good, but yeah, he 308 00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:18,640 Speaker 4: was bad. So for them to pull this off with 309 00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:20,280 Speaker 4: really just two guys scoring is pretty wild. 310 00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:22,360 Speaker 3: This is tough. This is year two for a pajem Ski. 311 00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:25,440 Speaker 3: He just hasn't been there, and so that's the scary 312 00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:26,640 Speaker 3: part for the Warriors for sure. 313 00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:30,160 Speaker 4: John Morant, you brought it up there. Obviously, rolling his 314 00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:33,240 Speaker 4: ankle in the third quarter looked like it hurt a 315 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:35,640 Speaker 4: goddamn ton. I mean he was in some pain there 316 00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:38,880 Speaker 4: on the side. I guess stepped on Buddy Heel's foot there. 317 00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:40,800 Speaker 4: They did look at it, but it was nothing malicious, 318 00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:42,240 Speaker 4: So it was just you know, there was a lot 319 00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:44,400 Speaker 4: of bodies around. He stayed in the game, made the 320 00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:46,959 Speaker 4: free throw, cut the deficit to one, like it was 321 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:48,839 Speaker 4: a one point game at that point, and then they 322 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:52,400 Speaker 4: quickly fouled, got him off the floor. He limped to 323 00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:55,000 Speaker 4: the bench. He's getting evaluated. You're like, I don't know, 324 00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:56,520 Speaker 4: is this guy gonna come back? Is he gonna even 325 00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:58,599 Speaker 4: play in a Friday game if they do go? But 326 00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,000 Speaker 4: he did check back in hit a jumper. I mean, 327 00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:03,439 Speaker 4: he was limited. You know, I think it hurt them 328 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:05,320 Speaker 4: defensively a little bit. He wasn't flying around as much. 329 00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:08,040 Speaker 4: But he says he's gonna play on Friday night no 330 00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:10,600 Speaker 4: matter who they're playing, so hopefully. I mean, that's one 331 00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:13,240 Speaker 4: of those things that probably hurts more today, yeah, than 332 00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:15,040 Speaker 4: it did last night when you got the adrenaline pumping 333 00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:16,480 Speaker 4: and you're tying it up and taping it up whatever 334 00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:19,000 Speaker 4: they did. But you know, it just sucked. But Desmond 335 00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:22,640 Speaker 4: bin Man, what a game for him has been. 336 00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:25,000 Speaker 7: Bain was hooping. He was the reason they stayed even 337 00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:27,520 Speaker 7: close to being attached in the first half, and what 338 00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:29,920 Speaker 7: he finished maybe five or eight from three. The three 339 00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:32,120 Speaker 7: that didn't go down hit the rim three times a piece, 340 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:35,840 Speaker 7: all three makes. That was crazy bomp them out. But yeah, 341 00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:37,840 Speaker 7: he had a really good game. Missed a couple of 342 00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:40,600 Speaker 7: shots later on hit like his floater game was incredible 343 00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:43,560 Speaker 7: in the first half. They missed in the second half. 344 00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:45,640 Speaker 7: But I think John Moran is gonna be fine. He 345 00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:47,360 Speaker 7: was definitely limping when he came back in. I thought 346 00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:49,080 Speaker 7: it was funny Reggie trying to like break down the 347 00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:51,960 Speaker 7: difference between rolling your ankle and twisting your ankle. Oh, 348 00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:54,520 Speaker 7: I was a little confused on that one, but I 349 00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:56,840 Speaker 7: thought Jallas limping like crazy when he came back in, 350 00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:58,840 Speaker 7: and then as he continued to play, he started to 351 00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:01,000 Speaker 7: get more confidence. And it's by Friday I would not 352 00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:01,600 Speaker 7: be worried at all. 353 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:04,640 Speaker 3: I agree. I loved when Moran turns his ankle and 354 00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:06,920 Speaker 3: Reggie Miller said, you got to put your head somewhere else. 355 00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:08,600 Speaker 3: You got to think of something else, like you're on 356 00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:12,320 Speaker 3: vacation with the family, you're happy plays. I think Kevin 357 00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:15,080 Speaker 3: Harlan said you're an in and out burger, and he said, no, no, 358 00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:19,240 Speaker 3: steak and shake. You got to represent Indiana, right, that's 359 00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:21,960 Speaker 3: I'm sure what he did on the floor, but yeah, yeah, 360 00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:25,360 Speaker 3: And Reggie mentioned when Deesman Bain went in and out 361 00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:27,360 Speaker 3: on that shot, was right after a Steph Curry in 362 00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:28,120 Speaker 3: and out shot. 363 00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:31,680 Speaker 6: That went in. Y, Yeah, I had to cut off. 364 00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:36,720 Speaker 3: Is good funny, Yeah, very very funny. But Bain had 365 00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:39,800 Speaker 3: four points in the first quarter and we just all wondered. 366 00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:42,160 Speaker 3: I was wondering, where are they going to get those 367 00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:45,040 Speaker 3: extra points? And he was monstrous, whether or not a 368 00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:46,920 Speaker 3: guy was draped all over me at the three point line. 369 00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:49,560 Speaker 3: He hit one where a guy was light on him. Yeah, 370 00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:51,040 Speaker 3: he was able to come alive. 371 00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:51,920 Speaker 7: He was huge. 372 00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:54,840 Speaker 3: This team was was fun. Yeah, Santi Aldama was big 373 00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:57,280 Speaker 3: off the bench on one end for sure, got burned 374 00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:59,680 Speaker 3: on the defensive end. That's what happens with Santi. But 375 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:02,840 Speaker 3: had enough guys, That's why it was. It was super 376 00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:05,000 Speaker 3: fun to get them to all the way to the 377 00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:07,720 Speaker 3: end in a very close game where you didn't inbound 378 00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:09,880 Speaker 3: the ball, and that's what people will remember of the 379 00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:11,080 Speaker 3: play in tournament. I'm sure. 380 00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:15,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's just it's unfortunately I would have seen Bain 381 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,240 Speaker 4: have a chance to obviously try and hit it or 382 00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:19,960 Speaker 4: see how the Warriors played it. Do they play the 383 00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:23,080 Speaker 4: foul game? I mean that's Kurz has a checkered sort 384 00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:25,280 Speaker 4: of pass with how he plays that in times, either 385 00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:27,080 Speaker 4: the foul or not and stuff like that. But yeah, 386 00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:28,600 Speaker 4: they didn't get it in and it was no doubt 387 00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:29,560 Speaker 4: a five second violation. 388 00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:30,080 Speaker 7: Uh. 389 00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:32,000 Speaker 4: I can't wait to see the last two minute report 390 00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,840 Speaker 4: from this one though. The fishing and crew a rough 391 00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:37,120 Speaker 4: night for them down the streets we had, I guess 392 00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:40,080 Speaker 4: the one that they did look at the foul call 393 00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:43,280 Speaker 4: on Draymond Green where he's fighting Zach Edy and Draymond 394 00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:47,360 Speaker 4: doing this, no no, no, I'm doing this and I'm 395 00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:50,280 Speaker 4: getting held, and it did appear that he was. They're 396 00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:52,880 Speaker 4: fighting for a rebound call stood. They looked at it 397 00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:56,720 Speaker 4: in Sikakas and it stood. Looney got called for a 398 00:16:56,720 --> 00:17:00,720 Speaker 4: foul I guess against or on zach Edy. Even zach 399 00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:03,200 Speaker 4: Edy looked to be pushing Moses Moody down, he was 400 00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:05,240 Speaker 4: maybe flopping. That was another one where it's like a 401 00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:07,360 Speaker 4: rebound one that was a bit of an odd one. 402 00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:10,640 Speaker 4: Pojemski with the what appeared to be a pretty clean 403 00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:13,600 Speaker 4: block on trying to take away that fast break the 404 00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:16,159 Speaker 4: opportunity of the Grizzlies. That was called a foul, and 405 00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:18,000 Speaker 4: then they didn't have the challenge to even look at 406 00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:21,360 Speaker 4: it and turn overturn that one earlier in the corner. 407 00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:23,640 Speaker 4: Jeet Butler got like a ghost foul at the rim too, 408 00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:25,959 Speaker 4: so like not not the greatest work here, thought, So 409 00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:27,959 Speaker 4: that's gonna be a littered l two m. 410 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:31,160 Speaker 7: I think, yeah, that'll make the Grizzlies feel better about things. 411 00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:32,879 Speaker 7: For sure. You'd love to see a last two minute 412 00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:35,320 Speaker 7: come the next day and tell you should have won 413 00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:37,199 Speaker 7: the game because of the repeas and you didn't. But 414 00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:39,359 Speaker 7: I think honestly both that sides have a lot of 415 00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:42,399 Speaker 7: complaints to have. I mean, the Grizzlies have to be 416 00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:45,760 Speaker 7: thinking Draymond Green was literally, you said, fighting Zach Edy 417 00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:49,720 Speaker 7: and he was basically just punching him and fighting for 418 00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:50,879 Speaker 7: forty eight straight minutes. 419 00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:52,680 Speaker 6: You can't call all of them no. 420 00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:56,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, I hope that somebody, I'm sure has already made 421 00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:59,440 Speaker 3: a little montage of the great plays in this game. 422 00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:02,120 Speaker 3: That's what people sure remember. Remember John Morant not knowing 423 00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:03,679 Speaker 3: what to do while he's in the air and throws 424 00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:06,280 Speaker 3: it off the glass with his left hand to himself 425 00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:09,119 Speaker 3: and he is able to score. That was so cool. Yeah, that'sman. 426 00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:12,200 Speaker 3: Bain went up and under Kevon Looney's armpit and threw 427 00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:15,040 Speaker 3: it off the glass with his left hand while falling down. 428 00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:17,439 Speaker 3: That was awesome. Jimmy Butler had the one in the 429 00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:20,160 Speaker 3: first quarter. That was pretty cooler. He's turned away from 430 00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:21,240 Speaker 3: the bucket. I mean that is. 431 00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:24,639 Speaker 4: Even Curry's second three to you know, give them some 432 00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:26,640 Speaker 4: breathing room. Like the pump fake party that he threw 433 00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:28,560 Speaker 4: out the three point line. You do not see a 434 00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:32,400 Speaker 4: guy pump fake pump twice on the three point shot. Yeah, 435 00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:35,439 Speaker 4: not see that. You see one pump fake and then 436 00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:37,960 Speaker 4: you either relocate or obviously just shoot it. But to 437 00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,640 Speaker 4: do it again and got him. And I love that play, 438 00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:42,879 Speaker 4: the one before the three. I just like Jimmy Butler 439 00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:44,720 Speaker 4: starts it. It's a play you've seen the Warriors do 440 00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:46,720 Speaker 4: all the time. Kicks the Draymond who does like the 441 00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:48,800 Speaker 4: little hand off the curt I just love that play. 442 00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:50,480 Speaker 4: And you have the great shooter of all time. It 443 00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:52,399 Speaker 4: works more times than not. So yeah, they're right. There 444 00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:53,919 Speaker 4: are a lot of highlights in this game. It was 445 00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:56,000 Speaker 4: for a late game here on the East Coast. Man, 446 00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:58,080 Speaker 4: we were like, tough to you're turning this one off, 447 00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:00,520 Speaker 4: especially when the Grizzlies got back in the game, because 448 00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:02,679 Speaker 4: it looked like it was like, oh, this could be 449 00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:05,400 Speaker 4: another yawner here like that first one. But any other 450 00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:08,399 Speaker 4: random notes from Warriors Grizzlies. 451 00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:13,320 Speaker 7: Jonathan Kaminga didn't play again d NPCD two biggest games 452 00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:15,960 Speaker 7: of the Warriors season. Couldn't get off the bench. I 453 00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:18,399 Speaker 7: think that's pretty interesting. It tells you, at the very least, 454 00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:20,560 Speaker 7: what the coaching staff thinks of him. I think they'll 455 00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:22,720 Speaker 7: probably actually need him to play a little bit against 456 00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:25,959 Speaker 7: the Houston Rockets, just because we're talking about Curry had 457 00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:28,600 Speaker 7: an awesome game, Jimmy had an awesome game. They're gonna 458 00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:30,800 Speaker 7: need somebody else over the course of seven games who 459 00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:32,440 Speaker 7: can put the ball on the floor and go get 460 00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:35,080 Speaker 7: a bucket. Now, the thing with Kaminga is he doesn't 461 00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:37,000 Speaker 7: do all of the stuff that Moses Moody does. Like 462 00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:39,239 Speaker 7: Moses Moody plays defense on the back ends, He'll hit 463 00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:42,400 Speaker 7: an open three pointer if it's there, he runs the court. 464 00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:44,480 Speaker 7: Kaminga just wants to get into his bag and get 465 00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:47,680 Speaker 7: some ISO buckets, which is good sometimes, but it completely 466 00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:49,719 Speaker 7: takes the Warriors out of their flow. They're gonna need 467 00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:51,479 Speaker 7: that because they got nothing from Buddy Healed last night. 468 00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:55,040 Speaker 7: They got nothing from Pajemski. So there, I think is 469 00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:58,040 Speaker 7: still an opportunity. It's just interesting to see can they 470 00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:00,520 Speaker 7: get him back on board now that he he's been 471 00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:03,600 Speaker 7: benched for their two biggest games, like, actually, now we 472 00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:06,639 Speaker 7: need you. When we said we didn't need you, we did. 473 00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:08,680 Speaker 7: So I don't know yet. 474 00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:11,360 Speaker 4: Something whether or not he plays in Game one. Now 475 00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:13,480 Speaker 4: he did play. I think he played all four games 476 00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:15,160 Speaker 4: against the Rockets, and he had some good games. 477 00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:16,000 Speaker 7: He's athlete. 478 00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:18,200 Speaker 4: He had a thirty three point game, a couple other 479 00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:20,040 Speaker 4: twenty point games. He had one stinker, but like he 480 00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:23,320 Speaker 4: got opportunity and maybe he's a better matchup against the Rockets, 481 00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:26,480 Speaker 4: like TK said, but it's you know, I don't love 482 00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:29,040 Speaker 4: his body language every time they show him. Maybe that's 483 00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:31,800 Speaker 4: just his he's not happy not. 484 00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:35,320 Speaker 3: Playing, no, and that was reportedly the problem with Steve 485 00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:38,200 Speaker 3: Kirk going back to last year. Yeah, I do want 486 00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:41,320 Speaker 3: to see Brandon Pajeenski's stats against the Rockets just to 487 00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:43,720 Speaker 3: see if he gets comfortable, because he is such that 488 00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:46,159 Speaker 3: blue guy, that guy that just keeps it going. That 489 00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:49,000 Speaker 3: secondary ball handler again, that was awesome for the first 490 00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:51,520 Speaker 3: part of Jimmy Butler's run here with the Warriors, So 491 00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:54,600 Speaker 3: I'm interested to see that because he could be so 492 00:20:54,720 --> 00:21:00,760 Speaker 3: much better. Random notes opening tip Draymond Green for Zach Edy. 493 00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:04,240 Speaker 3: Draymond Green puts his hand on Zach Edy's shoulder and 494 00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:06,040 Speaker 3: then wants a foulcl I don't get what he was 495 00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:09,359 Speaker 3: complaining about. He was complaining about the guy who's his 496 00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:13,000 Speaker 3: foot taller winning the tip even though Draymond puts his 497 00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:15,560 Speaker 3: hand on his shoulder right at the beginning. Ah, very 498 00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:18,359 Speaker 3: funny stuff. But the whole Steph Curry thing, Steph Curry 499 00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:21,760 Speaker 3: coming through with two monstrous threes the last two minutes, 500 00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:25,320 Speaker 3: I think, just monstrous and like you said, pump fakes 501 00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:28,280 Speaker 3: after pump fake after pump fake, still able to hit it. 502 00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:30,520 Speaker 3: I mean he as as you said, Trey about is 503 00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:32,600 Speaker 3: his thumb like he had to play in thirty nine 504 00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:35,399 Speaker 3: minutes in this game despite being injured, and Steve Kerr 505 00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:37,960 Speaker 3: reportedly wanted to keep those minutes down like this guy 506 00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:39,639 Speaker 3: is old. I mean he wanted to keep it like 507 00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:41,320 Speaker 3: at thirty three minutes. So he has to play a 508 00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:43,920 Speaker 3: ton and he's gonna have to go against a good, 509 00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:47,760 Speaker 3: very good, very pesky Houston Rockets team. So that's that's 510 00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:49,880 Speaker 3: the interesting thing. Steve Kurr is a wild guy. 511 00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:53,000 Speaker 7: With Steph Curry thirty three minutes in the game against 512 00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:55,760 Speaker 7: the Clippers, if he plays thirty eight, they win the 513 00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:57,960 Speaker 7: game and they're not in this one. Yeah, just play 514 00:21:58,000 --> 00:21:59,520 Speaker 7: him longer, man. The guy can handle it. 515 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:02,800 Speaker 4: Realized that last week. It's like, even if we win 516 00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:05,159 Speaker 4: as the eighth seed, I don't want to play the thunder. 517 00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:07,960 Speaker 4: I prefer our chances against a young Rockets team here 518 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:09,800 Speaker 4: and maybe we can take care of business, but we'llgain. 519 00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:12,240 Speaker 4: We'll get into that. This was a fun note. Probably 520 00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:15,359 Speaker 4: saw it making his way around social media. A man 521 00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:20,439 Speaker 4: eating a plate of spaghetti behind the Grizzlies bench, and 522 00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:22,880 Speaker 4: we were saying, you don't see this every day at 523 00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:25,000 Speaker 4: an NBA game, at a sporting event for that matter, 524 00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:27,160 Speaker 4: just straight up, I get I think it's spaghetti. 525 00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:28,600 Speaker 7: Looks like spaghetti. 526 00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:33,040 Speaker 4: Yeah, maybe it's bucatini. Yeah. Would you would you take 527 00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:37,359 Speaker 4: down a plate at an NBA game? TK? Not on 528 00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:39,560 Speaker 4: a plate? It's that's the crazy part. 529 00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:42,000 Speaker 7: You're thinking it should be a oh god, yeah, yeah. 530 00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:43,520 Speaker 7: I mean it's got a little bit of a lift 531 00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:45,840 Speaker 7: there for sure. But this to me is like eat 532 00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:46,880 Speaker 7: it in the lounge food. 533 00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:50,160 Speaker 4: Yeah, Sea, you're walking out with that. 534 00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:52,040 Speaker 7: I was trying to think. I was going chieve mode 535 00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:55,240 Speaker 7: on this one. Is that a horizontal food or a 536 00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:58,439 Speaker 7: vertical because I mean it splashes out live, but it 537 00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:01,040 Speaker 7: goes very tall as well of Horeson, that's. 538 00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:04,440 Speaker 3: The definition of hor How does it go vertical? 539 00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:08,840 Speaker 4: It looks like he's some he got somebody to cut 540 00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:13,440 Speaker 4: it for him though it was very There was no twirling. 541 00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:16,600 Speaker 3: That's risky. I wonder if it has a lid while 542 00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:19,120 Speaker 3: you walk down. I just walking around with that thing. 543 00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:22,280 Speaker 3: That's a Lealis move. Leolis used to do that, right 544 00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:26,879 Speaker 3: the penny or whatever. That just a plate of it, 545 00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:30,280 Speaker 3: just walk around with. Yeah, lounge, you gotta lounge. You 546 00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:34,600 Speaker 3: can't just walk around the arena loose pasta. 547 00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:37,000 Speaker 4: That's dangerous. Anything else? Any other notes? 548 00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:37,440 Speaker 3: What a game? 549 00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:38,440 Speaker 7: Jared Jackson Junior. 550 00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:39,200 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, we didn't. 551 00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:39,840 Speaker 4: Oh he played? 552 00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:41,200 Speaker 7: He played? We mentioned him. 553 00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:43,840 Speaker 4: Yeah, I was there literally his name. 554 00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:46,280 Speaker 7: Didn't come up. We just talked for what twenty minutes straight? 555 00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:48,320 Speaker 4: Yeah, as a rough game, I know, I guess he 556 00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:50,440 Speaker 4: did hit a couple threes? Did he not for three? 557 00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:52,720 Speaker 4: It's okay. The shooting was okay, but he didn't have 558 00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:55,000 Speaker 4: a big impact on this game. It felt like it 559 00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:58,080 Speaker 4: was one of those games where I do feel like, uh, 560 00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:00,240 Speaker 4: you know, you see it and you're like wondering, he's 561 00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:02,800 Speaker 4: disappearing at times and how is he having real impact 562 00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:05,000 Speaker 4: on the game. Where you go like, man, he tricked me. 563 00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:07,199 Speaker 4: He tricked me into like putting one onto an All 564 00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:09,080 Speaker 4: NBA team or stuff like that. Like he is a 565 00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:11,320 Speaker 4: really good regular season player and has had moments I 566 00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:12,880 Speaker 4: know in the postseason, but like this is one where 567 00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:15,439 Speaker 4: you're like, oh, yeah, the whole Draymond Green. There are 568 00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:19,400 Speaker 4: eighty two game players and sixteen game players. It's like, yeah, 569 00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:21,400 Speaker 4: I think I know where I put Jaron Jackson Junior. 570 00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:23,639 Speaker 4: Unfortunately in what category. 571 00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:27,320 Speaker 7: Yeah, he's definitely taking a step forward from a creation standpoint, 572 00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:29,600 Speaker 7: like being able to go get his own buckets. But 573 00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:32,800 Speaker 7: it's different in the playoffs going against the guy like Draymond, 574 00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:35,400 Speaker 7: especially with like the way the Lion can be clogged 575 00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,600 Speaker 7: for the Grizzlies. So, yeah, he had a couple or 576 00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:40,240 Speaker 7: four threes, like you're saying, but I thought that was 577 00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:42,320 Speaker 7: kind of like him finishing plays rather than him going 578 00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:44,960 Speaker 7: out and getting his own buckets. Not very encouraging. I 579 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:48,520 Speaker 7: think he's under forty percent for his career in the playoffs. 580 00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:49,600 Speaker 7: Oh that's not good. 581 00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:53,200 Speaker 4: From the field totally. Yeah, that's a Julius Randalla. 582 00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:54,760 Speaker 7: Like I mean, Randal will be happy with that. 583 00:24:57,760 --> 00:24:59,520 Speaker 4: Let's keep it moving here because we do have to 584 00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:02,800 Speaker 4: get to our Western Conference playoff previous but the first 585 00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:05,120 Speaker 4: game of the night, it was the Magic taking down 586 00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:10,000 Speaker 4: the Hawks Sad Coco pulling away for the easy twenty 587 00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:13,840 Speaker 4: five point win at home. The Magic clink clinched excuse me, 588 00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:16,359 Speaker 4: the East number seven seed. With the victory, They're going 589 00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:19,440 Speaker 4: to face the reigning champion Celtics in the first round 590 00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:22,320 Speaker 4: of the playoffs on the weekend. I don't think we'll 591 00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:24,280 Speaker 4: spend as much time on this game, I hope not 592 00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:26,719 Speaker 4: as we did on Warriors and Grizzlies. But what were 593 00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:27,680 Speaker 4: your takeaways? 594 00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:30,600 Speaker 3: And I know Snow White Snow Black is already thinking 595 00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:32,160 Speaker 3: that it's going to be a sweep for the Boston 596 00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:34,480 Speaker 3: Celtics coming up against the sor Atlanta Magic team, although 597 00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:38,399 Speaker 3: they they are a monstrous team, and that showed in 598 00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:41,600 Speaker 3: this game against the Atlanta Hawks. The size was a problem. 599 00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:45,439 Speaker 3: The Magic were revy to grab every single board. Although 600 00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:49,359 Speaker 3: a little respect for Mo Gay doing a decent against. 601 00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:52,320 Speaker 4: Yeah, you gave it as all man and they're short 602 00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:55,280 Speaker 4: like obviously no jel and Johnson, no Clint Capella, no 603 00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:59,640 Speaker 4: Larry Nance. There they're short bigs. The Hawks game played well. 604 00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:01,359 Speaker 4: He played as good as he can for a G 605 00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:03,960 Speaker 4: leaguer for crying allowed five and five. Yeah you sault. 606 00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:07,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, the Hawks just didn't have enough offensive options. Jalen 607 00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:11,400 Speaker 3: Johnson is huge when it comes to that. Dyson Daniels 608 00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:14,080 Speaker 3: is more of a fast break guy when Magic or 609 00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:16,399 Speaker 3: when the opposing defense breaks down, and Magic did a 610 00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:19,080 Speaker 3: great job of getting back. They only allowed four fast 611 00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:22,240 Speaker 3: break points. The Hawks average seventeen per game this season. 612 00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:24,960 Speaker 3: That's what they are a lot of the times. So yeah, 613 00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:27,639 Speaker 3: Trey just couldn't really get into his bag because the 614 00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:31,120 Speaker 3: Magic were so good. Even though the Magic weren't all 615 00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:34,359 Speaker 3: that great at handling the ball themselves or shooting threes themselves, 616 00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:37,400 Speaker 3: they were able to grab enough boards and be big 617 00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:40,680 Speaker 3: enough to beat a Hawk scene. It just didn't have 618 00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:41,880 Speaker 3: enough offensive options. 619 00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:44,760 Speaker 4: And then You had the two Anthony's in Cole Anthony 620 00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:47,600 Speaker 4: and Anthony Black, both coming through off the bench for Orlando. 621 00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:50,920 Speaker 4: Cole Anthony with twenty six and six hit jumpers early, 622 00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:54,200 Speaker 4: gorgeous dimes early, then hitting back back breaking threes, and 623 00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:56,760 Speaker 4: then Anthony Black had sixteen points TK. Those guys were 624 00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:59,720 Speaker 4: great for Orlando. Yeah, they had to combine five. 625 00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:01,879 Speaker 7: Threes the fourth quarter and the Hawks hit four for 626 00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:04,000 Speaker 7: the entire game. This was a three point game with 627 00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:06,000 Speaker 7: three minutes left in the third quarter and ended up 628 00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:09,720 Speaker 7: a twenty five point blowout because Anthony's Black and Cole 629 00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:12,479 Speaker 7: went insane. The Hawks did a pretty good job, especially 630 00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:15,840 Speaker 7: on Polo Bonkaro, especially on Franz Wagner, like they made 631 00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:18,159 Speaker 7: Polo into a playmaker. I think he had six assists 632 00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:20,639 Speaker 7: in the first half and it was seven. Never really 633 00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:23,719 Speaker 7: got going offensively as well, Mogay putting the clamps on him. 634 00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:25,919 Speaker 7: Franz was kind of out of it, but it was 635 00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:28,119 Speaker 7: the others and I kind of thought that went the 636 00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:30,280 Speaker 7: other way that it was going to go, because I 637 00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:32,359 Speaker 7: thought coming into this game the Hawks had the bench 638 00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:36,160 Speaker 7: advantage with Niang, Lavert and man Man didn't do anything. 639 00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:39,040 Speaker 7: Lavert had a bad game. Kniang did have fifteen points, 640 00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:40,679 Speaker 7: but he only went one of four from three, and 641 00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:43,359 Speaker 7: you need him to be hitting those threes. Orlando finished 642 00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:47,760 Speaker 7: the game fifty seven to thirty bench point advantage, and 643 00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:50,520 Speaker 7: that is the swing in the game right there, because 644 00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:52,520 Speaker 7: the Hawks should have had the deeper bench coming into 645 00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:54,960 Speaker 7: this one, but they just didn't get any sort of production. 646 00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:59,680 Speaker 7: Wendell Carter Junior was also massive. He outplayed in Yaka Conglu. 647 00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:03,280 Speaker 7: I thought, so better performances from the role players on 648 00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:04,760 Speaker 7: the Magic than from the Hawks. 649 00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:07,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, it was a strange game, right, Hawks fall behind 650 00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:09,280 Speaker 4: what was it like, twenty two points there in the 651 00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:11,440 Speaker 4: first half, but then they pulled within three late in 652 00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:14,120 Speaker 4: the third quarter. Suddenly it was a game Orlando went 653 00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:16,760 Speaker 4: on like one of their classic droughts, and the Hawks 654 00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:19,160 Speaker 4: were chipping away. But then, man, the Magic just ended 655 00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:21,879 Speaker 4: this game on a thirty five to fourteen run. And 656 00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:24,119 Speaker 4: that's why we got this huge difference in the final score. 657 00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:27,840 Speaker 4: But a big part again was Cole Anthony rational confidence 658 00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:30,119 Speaker 4: guy is his first one went in and he was 659 00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:32,439 Speaker 4: feeling it all night. And Anthony Black too. Man, I 660 00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:33,680 Speaker 4: really liked what I saw from him. 661 00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:36,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, and then the scrappiness of those guys. Anthony Black 662 00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:37,960 Speaker 3: had a couple of blocks in this game. I mean 663 00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:41,320 Speaker 3: the scrappiness of the Orlando defense overall with nine blocks. Yeah, 664 00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:42,959 Speaker 3: they just Hawks could not feel it. 665 00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:47,680 Speaker 4: Trey Young was frustrated, yes, to the point where he 666 00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:51,640 Speaker 4: got two technical fouls automatic ejection there with about five 667 00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:53,200 Speaker 4: minutes left to go in the game. It was sort 668 00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:54,800 Speaker 4: of about a reach at that point. They were not 669 00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:56,960 Speaker 4: coming back to win this. But he got the first 670 00:28:56,960 --> 00:29:01,120 Speaker 4: one for I guess rifling a chess pass at referee 671 00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:04,040 Speaker 4: James Williams. And then he got the second just moments 672 00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:07,200 Speaker 4: later when he deflected the ball with his foot and 673 00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:09,080 Speaker 4: he sort of wouldn't give it back to the ref 674 00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:13,480 Speaker 4: doing some fancy ass dribbling spin work to him, and 675 00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:17,680 Speaker 4: the NBA said after he was making a mockery of 676 00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:18,120 Speaker 4: the game. 677 00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:22,400 Speaker 7: That's what they said, quote hundred percent agree he should 678 00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:25,320 Speaker 7: be suspended for whoever they play in their next. 679 00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:28,280 Speaker 4: Game, hoping that they get there to take him on 680 00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:31,040 Speaker 4: Friday night. But I guess he'll just get a fine 681 00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:33,560 Speaker 4: for this one. I do not think he'll be suspended. 682 00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:36,239 Speaker 7: Probably just a fine. But like some hash browns from 683 00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:38,400 Speaker 7: waffle House, he was smothered and covered in the fourth 684 00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:41,880 Speaker 7: quarter six points, only one of four from the field. 685 00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:43,720 Speaker 7: He did make four free throws that was his main 686 00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:45,840 Speaker 7: source of offense in the second half. Trey was getting 687 00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:48,560 Speaker 7: basically wherever he wanted drawing files in the third quarter, 688 00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:50,880 Speaker 7: and the Magic completely shut off his water. He just 689 00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:54,680 Speaker 7: had no space at all. And then you combine that 690 00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:58,200 Speaker 7: with some timely shot making from both of the Anthonys 691 00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:00,600 Speaker 7: for the Magic, and that's how the game swung. And 692 00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:02,920 Speaker 7: you just like you look at the Magic team, You're like, 693 00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:06,360 Speaker 7: get a real lead guard when you get a performance 694 00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:08,600 Speaker 7: like this from Cole Anthony. It's not gonna happen every time, 695 00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:11,200 Speaker 7: but they look good. They scored one hundred and twenty points, 696 00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:14,040 Speaker 7: and the defense was obviously awesome, holding the Hawks to 697 00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:17,160 Speaker 7: twenty one three point attempts only seven total attempts from 698 00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:20,560 Speaker 7: three in the second half. Like, you know, the defense 699 00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:22,560 Speaker 7: is gonna show up when they've got somebody on the 700 00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:25,280 Speaker 7: perimeter who can do anything, put any sort of fear 701 00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:27,840 Speaker 7: into the defense. They look like a real offense. 702 00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:30,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, and they looked way better when Jalen Suggs was 703 00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:32,959 Speaker 3: running that thing for a good chunk of this season. 704 00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:35,160 Speaker 3: Now you know, you know whether jenal I'm not going 705 00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:35,600 Speaker 3: to do it. 706 00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:37,880 Speaker 7: He's a good defender. He can make open threes. But 707 00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:41,280 Speaker 7: they need somebody who can actually like some defensive fire power. Yeah, 708 00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:44,000 Speaker 7: they they need Kobe White. They should have traded for 709 00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:46,480 Speaker 7: Kobe White. He would be perfect. He's like Cole Anthony, 710 00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:48,760 Speaker 7: but usually good rather than sometimes good. 711 00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:51,440 Speaker 3: I think if Jalen Sugs was playing against the Boston Celtics, 712 00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:55,080 Speaker 3: we'd think that they could win two games, but now 713 00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:55,840 Speaker 3: now they can't. 714 00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:58,120 Speaker 4: I think they can take a game though game Yeah, 715 00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:02,120 Speaker 4: questions always first rounds. I give you a game last year, 716 00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:03,640 Speaker 4: give two to the Hawks year before that. 717 00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:06,120 Speaker 7: Man point are kind like that point. 718 00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:10,160 Speaker 3: Half point five is the line i'd say over under. 719 00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:13,640 Speaker 4: A sweeper or gentleman sweep if possibly for the Celtics. 720 00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:15,800 Speaker 4: We'll get to it later in the week. Random notes 721 00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:18,080 Speaker 4: from this one. I'm sure a lot of people want 722 00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:20,640 Speaker 4: us to comment on the I guess you can call 723 00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:24,000 Speaker 4: him annoying Hawks fan on the broadcast who was jeering 724 00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:26,400 Speaker 4: Orlando Magic shooters every time they were at the line, 725 00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:30,280 Speaker 4: especially at the end. He was behind the stanchion. This 726 00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:34,040 Speaker 4: guy dressed up in like full Hawks It looked like 727 00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:36,280 Speaker 4: a hawk. Honestly, he looked like a feathers on him, 728 00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:38,520 Speaker 4: but he was I don't know if what he was. 729 00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:41,160 Speaker 4: I guess he was kakawing. I know there's video of 730 00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:43,880 Speaker 4: people in the stands around him. It was a weird 731 00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:47,040 Speaker 4: kaka as someone who can cause more than anyone in 732 00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:50,880 Speaker 4: the NBA media. But he was committed to the bit. 733 00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:53,840 Speaker 4: I'll give him that. Dare I say it was working 734 00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:55,640 Speaker 4: for a little bit too. The Magic were sort of 735 00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:57,800 Speaker 4: missing free throws at times, but he got quiet as 736 00:31:57,840 --> 00:31:58,080 Speaker 4: the game. 737 00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:00,400 Speaker 7: But he was on the wrong end. I think, well 738 00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:06,760 Speaker 7: second half half, Yeah, they needed them. You think they 739 00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:08,840 Speaker 7: do that. They like look in the crowd, the teams 740 00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:11,280 Speaker 7: and they're like, oh that guy, that guy's gonna be yell. 741 00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:13,520 Speaker 7: We want to be on the opposite the second half, 742 00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:14,080 Speaker 7: switch it up. 743 00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:16,480 Speaker 4: Yeah, he was probably there earlier, right scope in a seat, 744 00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:19,480 Speaker 4: but he was committed. It was my favorite type of caca. 745 00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:21,000 Speaker 4: But yeah, he gave it a go. 746 00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:24,160 Speaker 3: It wasn't like a too sound like. It wasn't a 747 00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:28,200 Speaker 3: It was like just like a yeah, I don't know. 748 00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:31,960 Speaker 3: The pitch was was odd, but yeah, you know those 749 00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:34,920 Speaker 3: bird apps that recognize what type of bird it is 750 00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:37,400 Speaker 3: as soon as they hear something, they they wouldn't like 751 00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:43,200 Speaker 3: the app would not. I don't know what animal it was. 752 00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:44,720 Speaker 3: I thought it was my cat. I thought it was 753 00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:47,200 Speaker 3: just a loud, obnoxious noise. 754 00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:50,360 Speaker 4: Really, it was so annoying that, like I always loved 755 00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:52,520 Speaker 4: things like this, especially in playoff games where you're more 756 00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:56,680 Speaker 4: locked in on these games. Noura was so upset, She's like, 757 00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:57,560 Speaker 4: who's doing that? 758 00:32:57,800 --> 00:32:58,360 Speaker 6: What is that? 759 00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:00,520 Speaker 4: I'm like, I think it's a Hawks fan. Before I 760 00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:02,400 Speaker 4: saw the video going around on social I'm like, I 761 00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:03,840 Speaker 4: think it's a Hawks fan trying to like get in 762 00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:06,080 Speaker 4: the magic shooter's heads. I don't know what. He's just yelling, 763 00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:09,800 Speaker 4: just like, can't somebody tell him to stop. I'm like, 764 00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:12,160 Speaker 4: what do you mean? He's trying to get them to 765 00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:14,520 Speaker 4: miss free throws. I get it. It's annoying. It is 766 00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:17,040 Speaker 4: weird on the badcast, and we've like watched games before, 767 00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:19,080 Speaker 4: like there's a weird like we've had games. I don't 768 00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:20,520 Speaker 4: know if it was this season or last, Like there 769 00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:23,480 Speaker 4: was a woman not far behind like the TNT booth there. 770 00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:27,000 Speaker 4: You're just like okay, it's like it's fun once or twice. 771 00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:29,040 Speaker 7: So that you're like, okay, please be quiet, but it 772 00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:31,880 Speaker 7: should happen more often. Yeah, and these playing games one 773 00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:34,960 Speaker 7: game scenarios, der de Rozan swung A, playing games upon the. 774 00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:37,080 Speaker 4: Time don't remind Yeah. 775 00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:40,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I'm surprised that we haven't had more on 776 00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:43,480 Speaker 3: the broadcast. Usually it's just a scream yeah, and a 777 00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:46,840 Speaker 3: random person camera picks it up. But it's a yell. 778 00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:50,479 Speaker 3: This was an animal, I guess I don't know what 779 00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:53,440 Speaker 3: it was. I do want a note, conglu. After the 780 00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:58,440 Speaker 3: first quarter was interviewed, last question, he's done, he says, thanks, Lauren, 781 00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:03,240 Speaker 3: look at that that respect very nice, Yes, very very noble. 782 00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:06,000 Speaker 3: It's like back when around the starters and Dwayne Casey 783 00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:09,600 Speaker 3: would always say to Trey, hey, Tray, you know, he'd say, 784 00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:12,279 Speaker 3: he's a name user. He's a name user for everybody. 785 00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:16,720 Speaker 3: Uh and ka, I mean that's just that's just professionalism 786 00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:17,560 Speaker 3: to say. 787 00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:21,560 Speaker 4: Any other notes TK on this one. 788 00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:22,600 Speaker 7: I think I'm noted out. 789 00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:27,080 Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I got one thing just because Uh, Cole Anthony, 790 00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:28,759 Speaker 5: did you see how many times you wanted a review 791 00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:29,160 Speaker 5: last night? 792 00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:29,719 Speaker 4: It made me laugh. 793 00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:33,240 Speaker 5: I was wondering, like, have you ever seen another player 794 00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:36,640 Speaker 5: just asked for you every single position? It was kind 795 00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:37,239 Speaker 5: of making me laugh. 796 00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:40,959 Speaker 4: Unfortunately. Yes, I'm trying to think. 797 00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:46,000 Speaker 5: Line every single time that he ran down to court, 798 00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:50,960 Speaker 5: like if the ball went look like every single time 799 00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:52,320 Speaker 5: it happened for an entire quarter. 800 00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:54,959 Speaker 4: You also maybe notice it more too, because nobody hates 801 00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:57,959 Speaker 4: that more than Standman Gundy, Like he mocks it all 802 00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:00,520 Speaker 4: the time. He brings it up all all the time. 803 00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:04,040 Speaker 4: It was doing the old twirl. The NBA does some 804 00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:08,120 Speaker 4: super insane like lengthy cuts for their YouTube page. That'd 805 00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:12,920 Speaker 4: be a hilarious one. Every single time someone's a challenge 806 00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:16,440 Speaker 4: review from the entire season. How many hours would that be? 807 00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:18,640 Speaker 4: And they're short clips, but man, I think you can 808 00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:20,279 Speaker 4: get up to a couple hours if you add it 809 00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:20,680 Speaker 4: all up. 810 00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:25,239 Speaker 7: Oh, definitely, definitely. Just you can just tell how much 811 00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:27,000 Speaker 7: Cole Anthony was feeling it last night. He's like, I 812 00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:28,880 Speaker 7: can't miss on the court and I can't miss in reviews. 813 00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:31,680 Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah. My only other note was in the second quarter, 814 00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:33,719 Speaker 4: the Hawks did go to a zone defense like when 815 00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:37,160 Speaker 4: they were down big. I thought it sort of oddly worked, 816 00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:41,560 Speaker 4: but okay, it worked because it sped the Magic's offense 817 00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:43,799 Speaker 4: up and they were taking maybe shots like too early 818 00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:45,160 Speaker 4: in the shot clock, and they were like, you know, 819 00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:46,759 Speaker 4: you get into the zone, you see the open look, 820 00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:48,280 Speaker 4: you're like, oh, I'll take it. And they're not great shooters. 821 00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:49,920 Speaker 4: They're the worst three point shooting team in the league. 822 00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:51,680 Speaker 4: So that was good. But the flip side of that 823 00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:54,560 Speaker 4: was when you're in a zone defense sort of tough 824 00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:56,960 Speaker 4: to keep a big team off the glass, and they 825 00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:59,239 Speaker 4: just kept grabbing offensive rebounds because it's tough to find 826 00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:01,919 Speaker 4: a guy obviously get a body on in the zone. 827 00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:03,960 Speaker 4: So I don't know, maybe I'm just curious. I don't 828 00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:05,479 Speaker 4: think you're gonna see much for that from the Boston 829 00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:08,680 Speaker 4: Celtics against the Magic at all, but in their sort 830 00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:12,000 Speaker 4: of switching defense. But that was my final note. Let's 831 00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:16,520 Speaker 4: get into some playoff previews here. As the number six 832 00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:20,160 Speaker 4: seed in the West, the Minnesota Timberwolves, they've drawn a 833 00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:22,600 Speaker 4: tough first round opponent in the playoffs. Here they got 834 00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:27,040 Speaker 4: Lebron Luca and the third seeded Lakers. Had the Wolves 835 00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:30,000 Speaker 4: not blown that twenty four point fourth quarter lead against 836 00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:32,799 Speaker 4: the Bucks last week, they maybe would have had home 837 00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:35,600 Speaker 4: court advantage, but too late to think about what if 838 00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:39,560 Speaker 4: they're taking on the Lakers. Let's break this one down. Obviously, 839 00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:42,440 Speaker 4: we'll get to our predictions. But Tray, you getta started here, Lakers, Wolves, 840 00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:43,640 Speaker 4: what's one thing you're watching? 841 00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:46,240 Speaker 7: The number one human being I'm watching in this series 842 00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:49,640 Speaker 7: is Julius Randall, one of our greatest playoff droppers. His 843 00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:54,360 Speaker 7: career playoff field goal percentage skeets thirty four percent, twenty 844 00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:57,640 Speaker 7: six percent from three, and he has thirty six career 845 00:36:57,760 --> 00:37:02,879 Speaker 7: playoff assists to thirty five playoff turnovers. He has been 846 00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:05,279 Speaker 7: brutal in the playoffs and he is going to have 847 00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:07,719 Speaker 7: a lot of pressure on him because JJ Reddick is 848 00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:09,960 Speaker 7: a great scheme coach. He's going to find out ways 849 00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:12,600 Speaker 7: to get the ball out of Anthony edwards hands, which 850 00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:14,719 Speaker 7: means is going to find Julius Randall's hands. He was 851 00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:17,560 Speaker 7: awesome during the last three weeks of the season, playing 852 00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:21,520 Speaker 7: really good basketball, bullying guys, getting in the lane, finishing. 853 00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:23,719 Speaker 7: He is a good playmaker, but he has to be 854 00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:25,920 Speaker 7: a great playmaker. I also got my eyes on Anthony 855 00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:28,359 Speaker 7: Edwards's decision making because we know he hates getting double 856 00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:30,920 Speaker 7: team and he's going to see a ton of double teams, 857 00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:32,360 Speaker 7: so I think it's going to be interesting to seeing 858 00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:36,600 Speaker 7: to see how approaches that, how he attacks doubles, how 859 00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:40,280 Speaker 7: he actually finds his scoring even when he's seeing two guys. 860 00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:42,879 Speaker 7: And then definitely what does Randal do when he has 861 00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:45,920 Speaker 7: a chance to create, when he has opportunities to score? 862 00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:47,799 Speaker 7: Can he do it? And can he do it efficiently? 863 00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:50,640 Speaker 7: Because they need him to be a legitimate second scorer. 864 00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:52,560 Speaker 4: Can you give me those shooting percentages. 865 00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:55,600 Speaker 7: Of thirty six from three forty six true shooting? 866 00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:57,719 Speaker 4: This is like not a role player, Like, let's be 867 00:37:57,760 --> 00:37:59,640 Speaker 4: completely honest. This is a three time All Star, two 868 00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:02,560 Speaker 4: time All NBA player. I think Randall like, that's that's 869 00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:04,880 Speaker 4: pretty wild. That's a significes to drop off. No, he 870 00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:07,440 Speaker 4: didn't play last year because of the injury, but yeah, 871 00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:09,160 Speaker 4: he'll have to be much much better if they're going 872 00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:09,680 Speaker 4: to pull off. 873 00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:11,520 Speaker 7: This upset I right, I read it wrong. Twenty eight 874 00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:14,040 Speaker 7: percent from three. I'll bump them, bump them up. 875 00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:14,320 Speaker 4: Maybe. 876 00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:17,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, it'll be different, And I suppose it's not being 877 00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:19,120 Speaker 3: a not having to be a number one guy like 878 00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:21,080 Speaker 3: he was in the Knicks. We'll see, we'll see what 879 00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:22,799 Speaker 3: he can do. I'm surprised he is the number one 880 00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:25,120 Speaker 3: human being that he'll be. You'll be watching in this 881 00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:30,320 Speaker 3: serious because I'm just watching ant versus Luca Anthony Edwards. 882 00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:32,440 Speaker 3: You said he is going to get double there is 883 00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:37,719 Speaker 3: no doubt. But he did develop some skills at the 884 00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:40,000 Speaker 3: last part of this season where he got better and 885 00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:40,719 Speaker 3: better at it. 886 00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:41,880 Speaker 4: He got reps for sure. 887 00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:45,319 Speaker 3: Yeah, and he was asked about it, how did you 888 00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:47,640 Speaker 3: get better? And he said, you know, watching a lot 889 00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:50,319 Speaker 3: of tape. I watched Luca a lot. Actually, he told 890 00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:54,799 Speaker 3: Dane Moore that that is first I will when, as 891 00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:57,719 Speaker 3: a guy ever said I watch footage of an opponent 892 00:38:57,760 --> 00:39:00,560 Speaker 3: of mine that I'm actively playing it. I mean, that 893 00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:03,359 Speaker 3: doesn't happen very often. I would say, like a guy 894 00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:05,520 Speaker 3: right now, that's how I learned my skill the guy 895 00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:08,319 Speaker 3: I'm about to go against. So that's freaking cool. Yeah, 896 00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:10,600 Speaker 3: that's the second part of why I'm interested. I just 897 00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:12,600 Speaker 3: want to watch those two guys go at it. And 898 00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:15,799 Speaker 3: I do want to watch Anthony Edwards play defense against Luca. 899 00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:19,719 Speaker 3: Last year in the Conference finals, Jay McDaniels was and 900 00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:21,239 Speaker 3: is going to be the number one guy on him. 901 00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:23,120 Speaker 3: There's no doubt that's who they're going to put on Luca. 902 00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:25,560 Speaker 3: But they went to Kyle Anderson a lot coming off 903 00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:28,799 Speaker 3: the bench in fourth quarters. They just decided all right, 904 00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:32,919 Speaker 3: the length we'll use him, he's gone, That ain't gonna happen. 905 00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:34,200 Speaker 3: I think you're going to see a lot of Anthony 906 00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:37,520 Speaker 3: Edwards play defense, and I think that will be way 907 00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:40,200 Speaker 3: better in the first round versus round number three, because 908 00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:43,160 Speaker 3: Anthony Edward just looked gassed against the Dallas Mavericks in 909 00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:46,200 Speaker 3: the conference finals. So those two guys might even see 910 00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:48,680 Speaker 3: some jail and Clark what I think there might be 911 00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:50,960 Speaker 3: a few minutes for that young guy off the bench too, 912 00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:54,360 Speaker 3: because that is going to be a whole lot of problems. 913 00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:57,120 Speaker 3: Luca is going to be causing, just period, because it's Luca. 914 00:39:57,320 --> 00:39:59,440 Speaker 4: Yeah. I mean, you're trying to take down a pair 915 00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:01,440 Speaker 4: of all time greats here in Lebron and Luca. But 916 00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:03,960 Speaker 4: I think the Wolves do have the talent to sort 917 00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:06,239 Speaker 4: of pull off an upset, but you're gonna need contributions 918 00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:09,200 Speaker 4: from everybody here to do it four times out of seven. 919 00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:12,920 Speaker 4: I love the ad point about Reddick. You know is 920 00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:15,000 Speaker 4: going to like blitz him and pick and roll, send 921 00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:18,480 Speaker 4: aggressive double teams. And yes, he's had some reps I've 922 00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:20,279 Speaker 4: talked about on the show. There are times where I'm 923 00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:22,879 Speaker 4: like he's like a beat too slow at times he's 924 00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:26,040 Speaker 4: like processing on where to pass it or when to attack. 925 00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:28,640 Speaker 4: Sometimes it's just like, oh, I wish you made it 926 00:40:28,680 --> 00:40:31,640 Speaker 4: just half a second faster. So maybe he will because 927 00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:34,040 Speaker 4: he's got to be decisive as that score or obviously 928 00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:37,040 Speaker 4: as a playmaker there when he falls into those Lakers traps, 929 00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:38,680 Speaker 4: and then it's on those other guys if he want 930 00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:41,319 Speaker 4: when he makes the right pass, because he will for 931 00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:43,080 Speaker 4: those two guys to beat them four on three on 932 00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:44,839 Speaker 4: the back end, because they're just gonna take the ball 933 00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:47,160 Speaker 4: out of his hands, and will he get frustrated by it, 934 00:40:47,160 --> 00:40:49,400 Speaker 4: We'll go and get the ball back and all that stuff. 935 00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:51,399 Speaker 4: Can't wait to see how that plays out. And yeah, 936 00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:53,480 Speaker 4: how will they stop Luka Doncic. I mean this guy 937 00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:56,440 Speaker 4: last year in the conference finals, thirty two ten and 938 00:40:56,480 --> 00:41:00,520 Speaker 4: eight two steals led the MAVs over the Wolves. You know, 939 00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:01,960 Speaker 4: McDaniels is a great defender. 940 00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:03,920 Speaker 3: But yeah, Lucas playing against Rudy. 941 00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:06,160 Speaker 4: Got matched up ontom and we all know what happened there. Like, 942 00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:09,279 Speaker 4: and right now Luca's playing like he's obviously sort of 943 00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:12,480 Speaker 4: looking like old Luca now in a Lakers uniform, which 944 00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:13,640 Speaker 4: is scary for the rest of the league. 945 00:41:13,719 --> 00:41:16,160 Speaker 7: Well, speaking of Old Luca, it seems that's what Minnesota 946 00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:18,480 Speaker 7: is doing in practice. They're using Joe Ingles as their 947 00:41:18,560 --> 00:41:21,040 Speaker 7: Luka Doncic substitute Old. 948 00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:23,240 Speaker 4: Luca, literally old Luca. 949 00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:26,200 Speaker 7: I would love like that's maybe a short idea. We 950 00:41:26,239 --> 00:41:28,359 Speaker 7: got to go into like the old playoff tapes and 951 00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:30,719 Speaker 7: be like who was the decoy? Because I remember ty 952 00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:34,080 Speaker 7: Lou was for Alan Iverson in the Lakers sixer series 953 00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:37,160 Speaker 7: back in one. Luca and Joe Ingles is a hilarious one. 954 00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:39,680 Speaker 7: I wonder what the other mixes are go it around. 955 00:41:39,719 --> 00:41:42,479 Speaker 7: I don't know, Like did the Pacers ever use Fad 956 00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:44,800 Speaker 7: Young as a fake Lebron or something like that? I 957 00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:47,120 Speaker 7: don't know what it is. Also, by the way, Lebron 958 00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:48,879 Speaker 7: James will be playing in this series. This has got 959 00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:50,560 Speaker 7: to be the latest he's ever been mentioned in a 960 00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:54,360 Speaker 7: playoff previe Lebron is in this series. That's gonna be 961 00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:56,840 Speaker 7: a super interesting thing to watch Lebron and Luca figuring 962 00:41:56,880 --> 00:42:00,279 Speaker 7: things out. Major clutch advantage, I would say, or the 963 00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:03,200 Speaker 7: Lakers in this series, because how do you guard either 964 00:42:03,239 --> 00:42:05,200 Speaker 7: one of those guys. You can't double them, you can't 965 00:42:05,200 --> 00:42:07,160 Speaker 7: blitz them, and you can't play them one on one, 966 00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:11,240 Speaker 7: So good luck to the Timberwolves figuring that out defensively. Meanwhile, 967 00:42:11,239 --> 00:42:13,919 Speaker 7: they've had their own clutch struggles throughout the year. They've 968 00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:17,399 Speaker 7: been very poor in fourth quarters. They go through big 969 00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:20,080 Speaker 7: time droughts and it just feels like, Aunt, can you 970 00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:22,560 Speaker 7: bail us out? Sometimes he has been able to. Sometimes 971 00:42:22,600 --> 00:42:25,440 Speaker 7: he settles for threes. We'll see what it's like in 972 00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:27,920 Speaker 7: the last five minutes of these games, because that definitely 973 00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:30,400 Speaker 7: feels like an area where the Lakers should be ahead 974 00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:31,120 Speaker 7: of the Timberwolves. 975 00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:34,080 Speaker 3: It's interesting with that because Timberwolves going to last year's 976 00:42:34,280 --> 00:42:37,759 Speaker 3: postseason they also stunk and clutch time situations. They were 977 00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:41,359 Speaker 3: twenty second last year. This year their twentieth, So it's 978 00:42:41,680 --> 00:42:44,440 Speaker 3: very very similar. Can they just learn how to do 979 00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:46,680 Speaker 3: it like they did last year? They relied on Cat 980 00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:50,839 Speaker 3: Last year he was just use Cat. He came through 981 00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:54,480 Speaker 3: and they were able to get Anthony Edwards to that 982 00:42:54,560 --> 00:42:58,000 Speaker 3: point of fourth quarters because Kat was relied on. So 983 00:42:58,120 --> 00:43:03,040 Speaker 3: when Anthony Edwards gets doubled, are the Jaden McDaniels, are 984 00:43:03,040 --> 00:43:05,920 Speaker 3: the Dante de Vincenzos? Are the nas Reeds? Are the 985 00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:09,040 Speaker 3: Rudy Gobert those guys? Are they gonna come through. There's 986 00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:13,920 Speaker 3: a lot of questions with the Wolves, those guys, Julius Randall, 987 00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:17,319 Speaker 3: will Rudy be alive, There's there's there's there's a lot 988 00:43:17,320 --> 00:43:20,279 Speaker 3: of questions. Last I just want to mention one thing 989 00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:24,160 Speaker 3: you mentioned guys that you throw it in practice. They're 990 00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:27,319 Speaker 3: your your you know your your guy that you you're 991 00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:31,200 Speaker 3: about to play in the term. Yeah, Jordan Lloyd was 992 00:43:31,200 --> 00:43:35,000 Speaker 3: the Toronto Raptors version of Stephen Cray, Right, jeez, the 993 00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:37,400 Speaker 3: man that was the guy right when they played the 994 00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:42,160 Speaker 3: Box and one nineteen final all over them and then yeah, 995 00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:44,920 Speaker 3: that was the guy in practice. I'm pretty sure. Wow, Jordan, 996 00:43:45,600 --> 00:43:48,200 Speaker 3: you got to mention his name now because I don't 997 00:43:48,239 --> 00:43:50,640 Speaker 3: know if we'll ever mention it again. I'm pretty sure. 998 00:43:50,680 --> 00:43:51,719 Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure is that guy all? 999 00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:54,680 Speaker 4: Right? Back to Lakers Wolves here in present day, that 1000 00:43:54,880 --> 00:43:58,919 Speaker 4: awesome X factors started here, and I know we're sort 1001 00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:00,879 Speaker 4: of we always like mesh these two things together. Things 1002 00:44:00,880 --> 00:44:02,719 Speaker 4: to watch an X factors, But is it I mean, 1003 00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:05,640 Speaker 4: Julius Randall, I think is a big one for the Wolves. 1004 00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:09,239 Speaker 7: Schlex would tell me he's a factor X Factories too 1005 00:44:09,239 --> 00:44:09,640 Speaker 7: good to be. 1006 00:44:09,600 --> 00:44:11,560 Speaker 4: A factor, right, Okay, Well, who are you going with. 1007 00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:14,160 Speaker 7: I mean small versus big is the big question in 1008 00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:16,560 Speaker 7: this series, Like can Gobert stay on the court. They're 1009 00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:18,879 Speaker 7: gonna play him as much as they possibly can. Can 1010 00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:21,520 Speaker 7: he make the Lakers pay on the offensive class basically 1011 00:44:21,520 --> 00:44:23,720 Speaker 7: will be the question. Or are they just gonna try 1012 00:44:24,040 --> 00:44:26,160 Speaker 7: Randall and Read for most of this game if it 1013 00:44:26,239 --> 00:44:28,360 Speaker 7: just ends up being a hunt fest or does he 1014 00:44:29,120 --> 00:44:30,919 Speaker 7: hold up well enough that he can stay out there? 1015 00:44:31,040 --> 00:44:34,160 Speaker 7: That is the big question overarching series. But for me, 1016 00:44:34,239 --> 00:44:37,360 Speaker 7: the X factor is definitely Jaden McDaniels. He's got to 1017 00:44:37,400 --> 00:44:40,920 Speaker 7: guard Luca on one end, has had some success and 1018 00:44:40,920 --> 00:44:44,120 Speaker 7: also got bullied completely last year within the Mavericks series. 1019 00:44:44,160 --> 00:44:46,680 Speaker 7: He's also got to make threes and score against closeouts 1020 00:44:46,680 --> 00:44:48,960 Speaker 7: because he's gonna be the guy. I think that the 1021 00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:51,920 Speaker 7: ball finds a lot when it's taken out of Anthony 1022 00:44:52,120 --> 00:44:55,000 Speaker 7: Edwards hands and they're trying to make a play with Randall, 1023 00:44:55,080 --> 00:44:57,880 Speaker 7: it could easily go to McDaniels in the corner for threes. 1024 00:44:57,920 --> 00:45:00,520 Speaker 7: So I think he's got to have an efficient series 1025 00:45:00,560 --> 00:45:02,440 Speaker 7: and he's got to make it tough on Luca on 1026 00:45:02,480 --> 00:45:02,800 Speaker 7: the defense. 1027 00:45:02,840 --> 00:45:06,560 Speaker 3: Eve Vent absolutely you mentioned Rudy Gobert. He's my X factor. 1028 00:45:06,560 --> 00:45:08,840 Speaker 3: I know it's weird to call Rudy Gobert an X factor, 1029 00:45:08,880 --> 00:45:11,399 Speaker 3: but that is where they can have an advantage against 1030 00:45:11,440 --> 00:45:15,000 Speaker 3: Los Angeles Lakers. The size. If he is able to 1031 00:45:15,120 --> 00:45:18,160 Speaker 3: roll over Jackson Hayes and be able to just dunk 1032 00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:21,279 Speaker 3: multiple times, I mean that he has to be able 1033 00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:25,200 Speaker 3: to score in the double digits. He said it after 1034 00:45:25,239 --> 00:45:28,759 Speaker 3: Game eighty two for the Wolves. He said on his role, 1035 00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:30,680 Speaker 3: he said, I think it's gonna be huge. We know 1036 00:45:30,760 --> 00:45:32,839 Speaker 3: a lot of teams will put two on end, they're 1037 00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:37,200 Speaker 3: gonna switch, and I know I gotta dominate. He's talking 1038 00:45:37,280 --> 00:45:40,120 Speaker 3: like it. So we'll see him against Jackson's especially because 1039 00:45:40,120 --> 00:45:42,600 Speaker 3: the Lakers they want to play all those perimeter guys. 1040 00:45:42,640 --> 00:45:45,279 Speaker 3: They want to get Dorian Finney, Smith and Jared Vanderbilt's 1041 00:45:45,480 --> 00:45:47,400 Speaker 3: out there scrambling and they push up a little bit 1042 00:45:47,400 --> 00:45:49,640 Speaker 3: away from the rim. So Rudy Gobert has got to 1043 00:45:49,640 --> 00:45:52,239 Speaker 3: make this defense spread as much as possible. I know 1044 00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:54,080 Speaker 3: it's asking a lot of Rudy, but he just has 1045 00:45:54,120 --> 00:45:54,840 Speaker 3: to be dominant. 1046 00:45:54,960 --> 00:45:57,239 Speaker 4: He really does my big X factor. I'm sort of 1047 00:45:57,280 --> 00:45:59,640 Speaker 4: cheating a bit, but the Wolves bench, like their three 1048 00:45:59,640 --> 00:46:01,960 Speaker 4: main guys off the bench, they can swing this series 1049 00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:04,960 Speaker 4: but they have to be awesome. Nas Reed. He has 1050 00:46:05,040 --> 00:46:07,759 Speaker 4: struggled recently March in April, he has not shot the 1051 00:46:07,800 --> 00:46:10,319 Speaker 4: ball that well. But he can be a series changing guy. 1052 00:46:10,360 --> 00:46:11,960 Speaker 4: He sort of can catch fire and he can be 1053 00:46:11,960 --> 00:46:14,040 Speaker 4: a difference maker. Obviously stretching the floor a little bit, 1054 00:46:14,200 --> 00:46:16,560 Speaker 4: Dante DiVincenzo. We saw what he could do in the 1055 00:46:16,560 --> 00:46:18,560 Speaker 4: playoffs for the Knicks last year. Think of the moments 1056 00:46:18,600 --> 00:46:20,960 Speaker 4: he had, He's coming off the pine and then my 1057 00:46:20,960 --> 00:46:22,720 Speaker 4: biggest if I had to pick one of them all, 1058 00:46:22,920 --> 00:46:25,359 Speaker 4: Nikill Alexander Walker. I think it's gonna get a lot 1059 00:46:25,400 --> 00:46:27,160 Speaker 4: of minutes in this series because I think he's going 1060 00:46:27,200 --> 00:46:30,680 Speaker 4: to be tasked with shutting down Austin Reeves, but he's 1061 00:46:30,680 --> 00:46:33,600 Speaker 4: got to contribute offensively as well. He's a great defender. 1062 00:46:33,719 --> 00:46:37,040 Speaker 4: I think they're gonna say slow him. Yeah, Lebron's a nightmare. 1063 00:46:37,120 --> 00:46:38,919 Speaker 4: Luke's the nightmare. But we can't have the third guy. 1064 00:46:38,960 --> 00:46:41,480 Speaker 4: We can't have another guy going twenty for twenty five points. 1065 00:46:41,760 --> 00:46:43,960 Speaker 4: You got to shut that off and make life difficult 1066 00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:46,080 Speaker 4: for him. And he's talent enough that he can do it. 1067 00:46:46,120 --> 00:46:49,840 Speaker 4: So for me, Nikill Alexander Walker my Superrex factor, I 1068 00:46:49,880 --> 00:46:52,680 Speaker 4: guess for the Wolves to pull off this upset. Let's 1069 00:46:52,680 --> 00:46:55,879 Speaker 4: get into predictions, though Trey will keep starting with you here, 1070 00:46:56,239 --> 00:46:58,880 Speaker 4: where are you leaning? And any final thoughts on this series? 1071 00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:01,440 Speaker 3: Interesting? 1072 00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:05,239 Speaker 7: Interesting? I Yeah, Reeves is a huge question mark to me. 1073 00:47:05,320 --> 00:47:07,400 Speaker 7: He seems like he should have a pretty favorable matchup 1074 00:47:07,400 --> 00:47:10,040 Speaker 7: just because they're gonna run out of defenders. Maybe Calmly 1075 00:47:10,040 --> 00:47:12,560 Speaker 7: get some minutes, maybe DDV gets some minutes on him. 1076 00:47:12,600 --> 00:47:14,799 Speaker 7: But I'm with you, naw as probably the guys, and 1077 00:47:14,920 --> 00:47:17,759 Speaker 7: Reeves has been on a roll recently, and as the 1078 00:47:17,840 --> 00:47:20,839 Speaker 7: third option. He plays with the second option alongside Luca 1079 00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:23,319 Speaker 7: or Lebron depending on who's sitting on the bench as well, 1080 00:47:23,560 --> 00:47:26,520 Speaker 7: he could have a big series. I feel like I 1081 00:47:26,600 --> 00:47:29,680 Speaker 7: like the Timberwolves top eight more, but I know I 1082 00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:32,080 Speaker 7: like the Lakers top two more. Lebron doesn't lose a 1083 00:47:32,120 --> 00:47:34,920 Speaker 7: lot of first round series, Luca doesn't lose a lot 1084 00:47:34,920 --> 00:47:37,040 Speaker 7: of first round series. So I think I'm gonna go 1085 00:47:37,120 --> 00:47:38,080 Speaker 7: Lakers in seven. 1086 00:47:38,000 --> 00:47:40,560 Speaker 4: Lakers in seven. Okay, hell of a series. It feels 1087 00:47:40,560 --> 00:47:42,359 Speaker 4: like the Lakers are gonna be a majority pick here, 1088 00:47:42,480 --> 00:47:45,400 Speaker 4: right Like the general consensus is that. 1089 00:47:45,360 --> 00:47:46,879 Speaker 3: A lot of Lakers to back them. 1090 00:47:47,040 --> 00:47:49,160 Speaker 4: Yeah, you got Lebron and Luca. It's a great point. 1091 00:47:49,960 --> 00:47:51,880 Speaker 4: Do you have the stomach? You basically get into it. 1092 00:47:51,880 --> 00:47:54,879 Speaker 4: Do you have the stomach to bet against Lebron who 1093 00:47:54,960 --> 00:47:58,919 Speaker 4: looks pretty damn springy recently, and bet against Luca who 1094 00:47:59,680 --> 00:48:03,000 Speaker 4: cooked Minnesota last season? I know, different, completely different teams 1095 00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:04,759 Speaker 4: and all that, but he did. So do you have 1096 00:48:04,800 --> 00:48:06,400 Speaker 4: the stomach? You have the stomach? 1097 00:48:07,840 --> 00:48:08,560 Speaker 7: I do? 1098 00:48:08,840 --> 00:48:09,440 Speaker 4: I do? 1099 00:48:09,719 --> 00:48:12,680 Speaker 3: It is yeah, because there are so many questions with 1100 00:48:12,719 --> 00:48:16,600 Speaker 3: the Wolves, that's the the part that gets the stomach gurgling. 1101 00:48:16,960 --> 00:48:20,920 Speaker 3: Will Nikile Alexander Walker be awesome? He shut down Jamal 1102 00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:22,960 Speaker 3: Murray in the playoffs last year when they beat the 1103 00:48:23,040 --> 00:48:26,520 Speaker 3: Nuggets in seven games on the road? Am I right? 1104 00:48:26,560 --> 00:48:27,320 Speaker 7: In seven games? 1105 00:48:27,440 --> 00:48:27,680 Speaker 4: Yeah? 1106 00:48:27,719 --> 00:48:29,600 Speaker 3: They have the seventh game? It was in Denver, that 1107 00:48:29,760 --> 00:48:30,799 Speaker 3: weird that weird game. 1108 00:48:31,480 --> 00:48:31,920 Speaker 4: They're up here. 1109 00:48:32,280 --> 00:48:33,960 Speaker 3: I think you're right, actually, yeah, where the Nuggets were 1110 00:48:34,040 --> 00:48:35,480 Speaker 3: up twenty and then they imploded. 1111 00:48:35,520 --> 00:48:37,040 Speaker 4: Yeah, the Nuggets were the second seed. Lasser. 1112 00:48:37,160 --> 00:48:39,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, so that's that's that's why it makes me 1113 00:48:39,560 --> 00:48:43,160 Speaker 3: feel comfortable going with the Wolves to win in LA 1114 00:48:43,480 --> 00:48:45,680 Speaker 3: in the seventh game, which is a question. I mean, 1115 00:48:45,680 --> 00:48:48,920 Speaker 3: they're a great road team and we all say, yeah, 1116 00:48:48,960 --> 00:48:52,680 Speaker 3: this is an underdog. I mean They've won one game 1117 00:48:53,280 --> 00:48:55,720 Speaker 3: fewer than the Los Angeles Lakers this season. They're pretty 1118 00:48:55,719 --> 00:48:58,839 Speaker 3: freaking close. Obviously, the Lakers didn't have Luca all season long. 1119 00:48:59,360 --> 00:49:02,080 Speaker 3: But the Wolves are really good on both ends. They're 1120 00:49:02,080 --> 00:49:04,759 Speaker 3: an eighth offense and a six defense. I mean, that's 1121 00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:07,480 Speaker 3: that's very, very good teams on both sides. It's just 1122 00:49:07,520 --> 00:49:10,120 Speaker 3: sometimes you think about all these guys. There's a few 1123 00:49:10,640 --> 00:49:13,040 Speaker 3: low floor but a very very high ceiling guys like 1124 00:49:13,120 --> 00:49:17,640 Speaker 3: d Vincenzo, like Nikhiel, Alexander Walker, like nas Reed, J McDaniels. 1125 00:49:17,640 --> 00:49:20,120 Speaker 3: You can lump in there, Juwish Randall. Obviously, there's a 1126 00:49:20,120 --> 00:49:24,320 Speaker 3: lot of questionable guys. But I'm riding Anthony Edwards. I 1127 00:49:24,320 --> 00:49:26,800 Speaker 3: think he's grown and I think he'll handle the doubles. Well. 1128 00:49:27,200 --> 00:49:30,080 Speaker 3: It's a freaking great matchup, that is for sure. I'm 1129 00:49:30,080 --> 00:49:31,200 Speaker 3: taking them n seven though. 1130 00:49:31,280 --> 00:49:33,160 Speaker 4: Okay, so both of you guys say it's going seven, 1131 00:49:33,239 --> 00:49:37,399 Speaker 4: I'll go Lakers in six. I'm gonna knock that against 1132 00:49:37,480 --> 00:49:40,680 Speaker 4: Lebron and Luca. As talented as the Wolves are, And 1133 00:49:40,680 --> 00:49:43,319 Speaker 4: that's a great point about records basically being identical. Even 1134 00:49:43,320 --> 00:49:45,080 Speaker 4: you hear Reddick talk about this team, they're like I 1135 00:49:45,080 --> 00:49:46,960 Speaker 4: think he brought that up. They're like, this team's all 1136 00:49:47,040 --> 00:49:48,839 Speaker 4: lead on both ends of the floor, Like they really 1137 00:49:48,880 --> 00:49:51,359 Speaker 4: aren't good top ten. There's only a handful of teams 1138 00:49:51,360 --> 00:49:52,759 Speaker 4: in the league that can say that, and they're like 1139 00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:54,920 Speaker 4: some of the best teams, So the Wolves are included 1140 00:49:54,960 --> 00:49:58,799 Speaker 4: in that. But yeah, La, this is gonna be This 1141 00:49:58,840 --> 00:50:02,560 Speaker 4: will be their first game EM one hosting like a 1142 00:50:02,560 --> 00:50:06,200 Speaker 4: playoff series at home in front of their crowd in 1143 00:50:06,239 --> 00:50:08,160 Speaker 4: a long time, because the last time they had, like 1144 00:50:09,320 --> 00:50:11,880 Speaker 4: the advantage in the seating was like the bubble, so 1145 00:50:11,960 --> 00:50:13,640 Speaker 4: they weren't in front of everyone. So's you gotta go 1146 00:50:13,640 --> 00:50:15,840 Speaker 4: way back anyway? Point is this is gonna be great series? 1147 00:50:15,920 --> 00:50:17,480 Speaker 4: Yeh yeah, I can't wait to see how this one 1148 00:50:17,480 --> 00:50:19,880 Speaker 4: plays out. But I'll go Lakers in six. Let's hear 1149 00:50:19,920 --> 00:50:22,359 Speaker 4: your predictions.

That's my actual prediction. 1161 00:50:49,640 --> 00:50:54,040 Speaker 3: But J McDaniel's Cocker Spaniels. 1162 00:50:57,040 --> 00:50:58,840 Speaker 4: Okay, so you're going Lakers. 1163 00:50:59,040 --> 00:51:02,560 Speaker 7: Lakers, six, Cocker Spins A prison didn't go. 1164 00:51:02,880 --> 00:51:04,799 Speaker 4: I'm trying, like now, I'm drawing a blank, but like 1165 00:51:05,160 --> 00:51:08,160 Speaker 4: seven Dwarves. No, that's good. 1166 00:51:08,200 --> 00:51:09,719 Speaker 6: I yeah, what is? 1167 00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:11,759 Speaker 4: Can you get Dopey on the line. I want to 1168 00:51:11,760 --> 00:51:13,799 Speaker 4: hear what he thinks he's got money on this game? 1169 00:51:14,160 --> 00:51:14,279 Speaker 8: Uh? 1170 00:51:14,440 --> 00:51:18,680 Speaker 4: Noither You're gonna go like, uh teen wolves. I'm trying 1171 00:51:18,719 --> 00:51:21,880 Speaker 4: to think of other wolves. I'm drying a bank. I 1172 00:51:21,920 --> 00:51:25,400 Speaker 4: was trying to find something to Joe Wolf. 1173 00:51:27,680 --> 00:51:31,720 Speaker 5: I had Rudy Gobert. Uh was it Rudy Gobar smoking 1174 00:51:31,760 --> 00:51:32,080 Speaker 5: to bear? 1175 00:51:33,719 --> 00:51:34,480 Speaker 7: Okay? I like that? 1176 00:51:34,760 --> 00:51:37,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, I like that. Okay, so we got two Lakers 1177 00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:39,560 Speaker 4: and six. We got Lakers and seven portray and tasks 1178 00:51:39,760 --> 00:51:42,440 Speaker 4: going with Wolves and seven. Many fans will be happy 1179 00:51:42,440 --> 00:51:42,680 Speaker 4: to hear. 1180 00:51:42,719 --> 00:51:44,640 Speaker 7: It's tough. 1181 00:51:46,360 --> 00:51:47,279 Speaker 4: These are all tough. 1182 00:51:47,320 --> 00:51:49,480 Speaker 7: These are both back to back awesome series. 1183 00:51:49,560 --> 00:51:53,080 Speaker 4: This next one, I have no clue, so let's get 1184 00:51:53,080 --> 00:51:55,319 Speaker 4: into it. I took an extra five minutes in Game 1185 00:51:55,320 --> 00:51:57,279 Speaker 4: eighty two, but the Clippers did earn their spot in 1186 00:51:57,320 --> 00:52:00,600 Speaker 4: the playoffs, then oppress of eighteen three he finished to 1187 00:52:00,640 --> 00:52:02,480 Speaker 4: the season. This is probably the hottest team in the 1188 00:52:02,560 --> 00:52:04,960 Speaker 4: league right now. The Clips are Nuggets say, you know, 1189 00:52:05,000 --> 00:52:06,880 Speaker 4: it didn't close quite as strong, but they got the 1190 00:52:06,920 --> 00:52:09,600 Speaker 4: new coach bump in there, stayed the number four seed 1191 00:52:09,640 --> 00:52:13,440 Speaker 4: in the West. As Shoe noted in his preview, these 1192 00:52:13,480 --> 00:52:16,040 Speaker 4: have been the two best regular season teams in the 1193 00:52:16,040 --> 00:52:18,600 Speaker 4: West over the last eight years, and it's gonna be 1194 00:52:18,600 --> 00:52:21,160 Speaker 4: the third time they meet in the playoffs. So yeah, 1195 00:52:21,480 --> 00:52:24,200 Speaker 4: this one I think very difficult. It's the number four 1196 00:52:24,280 --> 00:52:27,080 Speaker 4: Nuggets versus the number five Clippers. Task. Let's start with you. 1197 00:52:27,600 --> 00:52:29,760 Speaker 4: One thing to watch in this barn Burner. 1198 00:52:30,360 --> 00:52:33,680 Speaker 3: It is the question for everybody tuning in. Will all 1199 00:52:33,760 --> 00:52:36,680 Speaker 3: the Clippers play? I mean, well, will they be healthy? 1200 00:52:36,760 --> 00:52:39,680 Speaker 3: I know it's super boring, but I'm comfortable saying the 1201 00:52:39,680 --> 00:52:43,920 Speaker 3: Los Angeles Clippers are healthier than the Denver Nuggets. And 1202 00:52:43,960 --> 00:52:46,200 Speaker 3: I know that may change in the next couple of weeks. 1203 00:52:46,239 --> 00:52:47,480 Speaker 3: But Jamal Murray. 1204 00:52:47,280 --> 00:52:48,560 Speaker 6: Isn't one hundred percent. 1205 00:52:48,760 --> 00:52:51,800 Speaker 3: He has played a couple of times since that hamstring injury. 1206 00:52:51,800 --> 00:52:54,319 Speaker 3: We saw him last year in the playoffs. He wasn't 1207 00:52:54,400 --> 00:52:57,160 Speaker 3: quite himself. He had a freaking game winner against the 1208 00:52:57,200 --> 00:53:00,120 Speaker 3: Los Angeles Lakers and looked great when he shot that, 1209 00:53:00,320 --> 00:53:02,680 Speaker 3: but his percentages were bad. Yeah, and this is a 1210 00:53:02,719 --> 00:53:06,839 Speaker 3: guy who definitely gets better when the postseason comes, so 1211 00:53:07,200 --> 00:53:09,360 Speaker 3: you can bet on that, I suppose, But he just 1212 00:53:09,400 --> 00:53:11,480 Speaker 3: hasn't been all that healthy. While on the other side, 1213 00:53:12,480 --> 00:53:16,160 Speaker 3: quis frickin' ready. I think he's hooping and he's bawling, 1214 00:53:16,680 --> 00:53:22,360 Speaker 3: and he's taking this regular season air quotes rest rehabilitation 1215 00:53:22,640 --> 00:53:26,080 Speaker 3: in October, November, December to get him ready for the 1216 00:53:26,120 --> 00:53:29,440 Speaker 3: first time, he said. Quote when he was asked by 1217 00:53:29,440 --> 00:53:32,080 Speaker 3: our law Murray, he said, it felt good. I'm happy 1218 00:53:32,080 --> 00:53:34,640 Speaker 3: that I had a great organization behind me to allow 1219 00:53:34,680 --> 00:53:36,680 Speaker 3: me to get healthy and know exactly what I needed 1220 00:53:36,680 --> 00:53:39,360 Speaker 3: to do, them letting me reach out to outside sources 1221 00:53:39,400 --> 00:53:41,120 Speaker 3: and combining together and collabbing. 1222 00:53:42,120 --> 00:53:44,560 Speaker 6: It's not over yet, but he feels happy. 1223 00:53:44,960 --> 00:53:48,319 Speaker 3: And I don't know. I'm just really I am just 1224 00:53:48,480 --> 00:53:51,680 Speaker 3: riding that man, along with James Harden who looks great, 1225 00:53:52,440 --> 00:53:54,200 Speaker 3: Norman pell who is a great catch and shoot guy, 1226 00:53:54,200 --> 00:53:56,359 Speaker 3: he eats a Zubats who will talk to talk about 1227 00:53:56,360 --> 00:54:00,239 Speaker 3: against Jokic. Just riding that right now because they look better. Well, 1228 00:54:00,280 --> 00:54:03,480 Speaker 3: I'm riding it for this first round, which it feels 1229 00:54:03,520 --> 00:54:06,960 Speaker 3: like if you're gonna rye on the Cooper on that Clippers, 1230 00:54:07,040 --> 00:54:09,000 Speaker 3: you're gonna roll with them. This is the time to 1231 00:54:09,040 --> 00:54:11,600 Speaker 3: do it, the first round when they're the healthiest. So 1232 00:54:11,640 --> 00:54:13,040 Speaker 3: I'm rolling with them right now. 1233 00:54:13,200 --> 00:54:15,480 Speaker 4: Okay, so you're tipping your hand, No, I'm tipping. 1234 00:54:15,800 --> 00:54:16,240 Speaker 3: I'm tipping. 1235 00:54:16,360 --> 00:54:20,440 Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm also pretending they're gonna be healthy. You have 1236 00:54:20,560 --> 00:54:21,960 Speaker 7: more fun to look at the Clippers and be like, oh, 1237 00:54:21,960 --> 00:54:23,480 Speaker 7: they're all gonna play right. Yeah? 1238 00:54:23,560 --> 00:54:24,479 Speaker 3: Yeah, it is fun. 1239 00:54:25,120 --> 00:54:27,240 Speaker 4: Uh they I love that. What they did with Kawhi 1240 00:54:27,280 --> 00:54:29,279 Speaker 4: this season is what we've joked about before with like 1241 00:54:29,320 --> 00:54:31,759 Speaker 4: players like can Be. Were like, well, just like, just 1242 00:54:31,760 --> 00:54:34,399 Speaker 4: don't play them, don't play them for the first couple 1243 00:54:34,440 --> 00:54:35,880 Speaker 4: of months, and then have them come back for a 1244 00:54:35,880 --> 00:54:38,480 Speaker 4: couple of months, get to their superstar level, and then 1245 00:54:38,480 --> 00:54:39,920 Speaker 4: have him go in the playoffs. That's sort of what 1246 00:54:39,920 --> 00:54:42,279 Speaker 4: they've done here with Kawhi and the limited games. But man, 1247 00:54:42,280 --> 00:54:44,920 Speaker 4: he looks incredible. He looks like the Terminator Kawhir that 1248 00:54:44,960 --> 00:54:47,720 Speaker 4: we saw obviously as Raptors fans in the twenty nineteen 1249 00:54:47,719 --> 00:54:50,759 Speaker 4: playoffs and obviously previously before that in great series. Can 1250 00:54:50,760 --> 00:54:53,520 Speaker 4: you stay healthy? He's healthy right now and he's playing 1251 00:54:53,560 --> 00:54:55,680 Speaker 4: heavy minutes too, and looks awesome in them. That game 1252 00:54:55,719 --> 00:54:58,479 Speaker 4: he just played against the Warriors, it was amazing. Yes, 1253 00:54:59,320 --> 00:55:02,000 Speaker 4: So one other things you're watching for besides the health 1254 00:55:02,040 --> 00:55:03,919 Speaker 4: factor of obviously the clips here. 1255 00:55:04,080 --> 00:55:06,399 Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean Murray is the ultimate question mark here. 1256 00:55:06,440 --> 00:55:08,480 Speaker 7: When Jokic goes to the bench. He's not gonna be 1257 00:55:08,520 --> 00:55:10,640 Speaker 7: able to play forty eight minutes for seven straight games. 1258 00:55:11,480 --> 00:55:13,919 Speaker 7: Maybe if he plays forty six, but there are gonna 1259 00:55:13,960 --> 00:55:16,080 Speaker 7: be minutes when Jokic sits, and Murray needs to be 1260 00:55:16,239 --> 00:55:19,160 Speaker 7: the Murray that we saw in February. In March when 1261 00:55:19,160 --> 00:55:21,520 Speaker 7: he was twenty five a game, fifty forty ninety and 1262 00:55:21,600 --> 00:55:24,840 Speaker 7: look like himself. Big time discouraging. I think that he 1263 00:55:24,920 --> 00:55:27,520 Speaker 7: went down with a similar injury the hamstring once again 1264 00:55:27,680 --> 00:55:29,080 Speaker 7: right at the end of the season, so you know 1265 00:55:29,120 --> 00:55:31,600 Speaker 7: he's not in rhythm and he's probably not completely healthy. 1266 00:55:31,640 --> 00:55:34,040 Speaker 7: So that is a bummer for the Nuggets. But I 1267 00:55:34,040 --> 00:55:36,560 Speaker 7: can't wait to see Jokic versus Zubots. They're gonna be 1268 00:55:36,600 --> 00:55:39,360 Speaker 7: playing one on one a lot in this series because 1269 00:55:39,880 --> 00:55:43,000 Speaker 7: the Clippers, I think will be happy to let Zubots 1270 00:55:43,080 --> 00:55:45,239 Speaker 7: do his best one on one against Jokich like he 1271 00:55:45,320 --> 00:55:47,640 Speaker 7: battles him. At least, Jokic gets the best of everybody 1272 00:55:47,719 --> 00:55:50,520 Speaker 7: for the most part, but Zubots is big enough, strong enough, 1273 00:55:50,520 --> 00:55:53,120 Speaker 7: and quick enough that he can hang with Jokic. That 1274 00:55:53,280 --> 00:55:56,080 Speaker 7: turns Jokic into more of a scorer if he's playing 1275 00:55:56,120 --> 00:55:58,879 Speaker 7: one on one, which isn't necessarily the way he wants 1276 00:55:58,920 --> 00:56:01,879 Speaker 7: to play. We've talked to a couple of times. They've 1277 00:56:01,880 --> 00:56:03,720 Speaker 7: never won a game when he scores fifty or more points. 1278 00:56:03,760 --> 00:56:05,680 Speaker 7: I'm not saying he's gonna score fifty every night, but 1279 00:56:05,719 --> 00:56:08,720 Speaker 7: when he's looking to be a scorer, that's not necessarily 1280 00:56:09,560 --> 00:56:11,000 Speaker 7: the way he wants to play. And then on the 1281 00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:12,759 Speaker 7: other end, you gotta think Jokis is gonna be in 1282 00:56:12,800 --> 00:56:15,719 Speaker 7: a ton of pick and rolls. The hardens Zubats won 1283 00:56:15,760 --> 00:56:18,600 Speaker 7: two game, It's pretty unstoppable. Zubats has become an even 1284 00:56:18,600 --> 00:56:21,680 Speaker 7: better role guy playing alongside Harden. He can score in 1285 00:56:21,800 --> 00:56:24,600 Speaker 7: the post as well. That's a lot of work for 1286 00:56:24,760 --> 00:56:27,640 Speaker 7: Jokic to be carrying offensively and then actually have to 1287 00:56:27,640 --> 00:56:30,759 Speaker 7: defend on the other end. He was terrible defensively the 1288 00:56:30,800 --> 00:56:32,680 Speaker 7: second half of this season. I think that's a large 1289 00:56:32,719 --> 00:56:34,320 Speaker 7: part of why the Nuggets struggled at the end of 1290 00:56:34,320 --> 00:56:36,839 Speaker 7: the year. He was mailing it in absolutely on that end. 1291 00:56:37,680 --> 00:56:38,880 Speaker 7: Is he gonna be fined in the playoffs? 1292 00:56:38,920 --> 00:56:39,279 Speaker 3: He can be. 1293 00:56:39,360 --> 00:56:41,799 Speaker 7: He can elevate his game on that end of the 1294 00:56:41,840 --> 00:56:44,440 Speaker 7: floor and contribute. But he was not good the second 1295 00:56:44,440 --> 00:56:46,319 Speaker 7: half of the season for the Nuggets. Maybe he's just 1296 00:56:46,800 --> 00:56:48,600 Speaker 7: saving it for the playoffs. But I can't wait to 1297 00:56:48,640 --> 00:56:49,560 Speaker 7: watch those two. 1298 00:56:49,880 --> 00:56:54,320 Speaker 4: Meaty men smacking meat so good. Oh yeah, and like 1299 00:56:54,440 --> 00:56:57,240 Speaker 4: Zubos too, does a really good job of like not folly. 1300 00:56:57,440 --> 00:56:58,560 Speaker 6: Yeah, he's good. 1301 00:56:58,600 --> 00:57:02,960 Speaker 4: He's an intelligent player, Like hell yeah, exactly, if he 1302 00:57:03,000 --> 00:57:05,040 Speaker 4: picks up two or three quick fouls. 1303 00:57:04,760 --> 00:57:07,000 Speaker 8: Here comes Ben, who the hell is the backup center? 1304 00:57:07,080 --> 00:57:12,480 Speaker 8: He comes Ben, They have you Banks, then it's gonna work. 1305 00:57:12,560 --> 00:57:14,839 Speaker 8: So yeah, he's got to stay out there. He has 1306 00:57:14,880 --> 00:57:18,360 Speaker 8: to make those calculations where I guess I just give 1307 00:57:18,400 --> 00:57:21,000 Speaker 8: him that one, right, you got the rebound, don't slap 1308 00:57:21,040 --> 00:57:23,840 Speaker 8: at it and don't don't pick up that dumb foul. 1309 00:57:23,840 --> 00:57:25,480 Speaker 8: But that's gonna be fun as hell to watch. And 1310 00:57:25,520 --> 00:57:27,560 Speaker 8: this could this could be like a breakout series here 1311 00:57:27,600 --> 00:57:30,120 Speaker 8: for Zubots. It feels like too, with like all eyes. 1312 00:57:29,920 --> 00:57:33,000 Speaker 4: On Jokish and a MVP guy and whether he can 1313 00:57:33,040 --> 00:57:36,000 Speaker 4: sort of contain him or at least also you know, 1314 00:57:36,040 --> 00:57:38,040 Speaker 4: Score on the other end as well. We'll start talking. 1315 00:57:37,880 --> 00:57:41,400 Speaker 3: About him, and he has guarded him fairly well over 1316 00:57:41,440 --> 00:57:45,200 Speaker 3: his career. There's the point per possessions that Jokic up 1317 00:57:45,280 --> 00:57:48,840 Speaker 3: against him. You know, you can't always believe just one 1318 00:57:49,600 --> 00:57:53,080 Speaker 3: stat versus one, like one versus one that type of thing. 1319 00:57:53,080 --> 00:57:56,080 Speaker 3: Because Jokic is Jokic. He's going to be great, but 1320 00:57:56,400 --> 00:57:58,800 Speaker 3: Zu does play him fairly well. This is Zoo's best 1321 00:57:58,840 --> 00:58:03,040 Speaker 3: season of his career. He looks great. Getting into foul 1322 00:58:03,120 --> 00:58:05,440 Speaker 3: trouble is definitely a concern. He might see Derek Jones 1323 00:58:05,520 --> 00:58:09,000 Speaker 3: Junior guarding Jokic. I mean, you'll see just a bunch 1324 00:58:09,000 --> 00:58:11,760 Speaker 3: of guys they'll throw at him. But the pick and 1325 00:58:11,840 --> 00:58:13,720 Speaker 3: roll that you brought up is really important. I think 1326 00:58:13,760 --> 00:58:15,880 Speaker 3: Christian Brown will do a good job on James Arden. 1327 00:58:15,920 --> 00:58:19,240 Speaker 3: I think that'll be his primary job. But Harden's been 1328 00:58:19,280 --> 00:58:22,240 Speaker 3: awesome and he's going to get Jokic involved in pick 1329 00:58:22,280 --> 00:58:24,840 Speaker 3: and roll after pick and roll. So that's that's a factor. 1330 00:58:24,880 --> 00:58:27,120 Speaker 4: Well that spins into something I'm watching. You're talking about 1331 00:58:27,120 --> 00:58:29,479 Speaker 4: like how the Nuggets defend pick and roll up top, 1332 00:58:29,560 --> 00:58:32,160 Speaker 4: be it harden, be it quiet in the action, they 1333 00:58:32,360 --> 00:58:35,320 Speaker 4: generally defend it pretty aggressively and they leave the week 1334 00:58:35,400 --> 00:58:38,120 Speaker 4: side open. So who's that shooter there? The Clippers are 1335 00:58:38,120 --> 00:58:40,000 Speaker 4: going to want it to be Norman Powell, who's obviously 1336 00:58:40,040 --> 00:58:42,000 Speaker 4: had an unbelievable year. You're gonna want to try and 1337 00:58:42,080 --> 00:58:43,960 Speaker 4: run him off the line if you're the Nuggets. But 1338 00:58:44,040 --> 00:58:46,120 Speaker 4: what about those other guys Chris Dunn when he's out there, 1339 00:58:46,160 --> 00:58:48,160 Speaker 4: because they want him out there for defensive reasons. I mean, 1340 00:58:48,160 --> 00:58:50,720 Speaker 4: he'll be one of the Jamal Murray stoppers I would imagine, 1341 00:58:51,040 --> 00:58:53,800 Speaker 4: and same with Derek Jones Junior on a lot of guys. 1342 00:58:54,560 --> 00:58:57,800 Speaker 4: Those guys, you know, like Derek Jones Junior last year 1343 00:58:58,080 --> 00:59:01,000 Speaker 4: some timely games hitting three pointers. He helped put away 1344 00:59:01,040 --> 00:59:03,640 Speaker 4: the Thunder in those final two games in games five 1345 00:59:03,640 --> 00:59:05,960 Speaker 4: and six, he hit a combined seven threes. He was 1346 00:59:06,000 --> 00:59:08,320 Speaker 4: on fire. He's a thirty six percent three point shooter 1347 00:59:08,320 --> 00:59:11,920 Speaker 4: on the season, so he's pretty solid. Done is, you know, 1348 00:59:11,960 --> 00:59:13,760 Speaker 4: and not taking as many. He's a thirty three percent 1349 00:59:13,800 --> 00:59:16,120 Speaker 4: three point shooter. They want those guys out there for 1350 00:59:16,120 --> 00:59:19,400 Speaker 4: defensive reasons. But they're gonna be left to shoot and 1351 00:59:19,920 --> 00:59:21,920 Speaker 4: whether they can capitalize or not. I think that's a 1352 00:59:21,920 --> 00:59:24,920 Speaker 4: big part of the series for the Nuggets chances to win. 1353 00:59:24,960 --> 00:59:26,840 Speaker 4: They're gonna let them and then they're gonna hope that 1354 00:59:26,880 --> 00:59:29,800 Speaker 4: they miss more times than not. But fun to watch. 1355 00:59:30,080 --> 00:59:33,120 Speaker 7: Yeah, I do feel like the Clippers have in specifically 1356 00:59:33,160 --> 00:59:36,280 Speaker 7: and Done and Derek Jones Junior. They have guys that 1357 00:59:36,640 --> 00:59:39,400 Speaker 7: if they're not hitting, they can't play. Like Chris Dunn, 1358 00:59:39,520 --> 00:59:41,600 Speaker 7: you have to make three pointers, Derek Jones Junior, you 1359 00:59:41,640 --> 00:59:44,200 Speaker 7: have to make three pointers. Neither team really shoots them 1360 00:59:44,400 --> 00:59:48,240 Speaker 7: all that often. I think the Clippers are twenty fifth 1361 00:59:48,400 --> 00:59:52,720 Speaker 7: and makes Denver's thirtieth in makes, but Westbrook, I guess, 1362 00:59:52,760 --> 00:59:54,640 Speaker 7: and maybe even Peyton Watson is kind of the same way. 1363 00:59:54,680 --> 00:59:56,200 Speaker 7: We're like, you need to make threes if you're gonna 1364 00:59:56,200 --> 00:59:58,440 Speaker 7: stay on the court. Which of those four guys can 1365 00:59:58,480 --> 00:59:59,800 Speaker 7: actually do it, I think is a big question. 1366 00:59:59,840 --> 01:00:04,520 Speaker 4: Mark yep X factors. Who you want to zero in 1367 01:00:04,560 --> 01:00:06,880 Speaker 4: on here when this series, whoever wants to get. 1368 01:00:06,720 --> 01:00:11,200 Speaker 3: Started, Well, I will say Chris Dunn is freaking important 1369 01:00:11,240 --> 01:00:13,480 Speaker 3: guarding Jamal Murray on that end, because he's just a 1370 01:00:13,600 --> 01:00:15,920 Speaker 3: damn good defender. But he may be played off. I mean, 1371 01:00:15,960 --> 01:00:19,440 Speaker 3: there are so many guys. I think the defensive guys 1372 01:00:19,480 --> 01:00:22,560 Speaker 3: like Aaron Gordon is a good Kawhi matchup. He can 1373 01:00:22,640 --> 01:00:26,439 Speaker 3: guard Kawhi Leonard pretty well. He's a monstrous guy. Can 1374 01:00:26,520 --> 01:00:30,000 Speaker 3: Kawhi get his shots off on Aaron Gordon? Probably? He 1375 01:00:30,080 --> 01:00:33,160 Speaker 3: looks awesome, so he looks comfortable there. It is so 1376 01:00:33,200 --> 01:00:35,360 Speaker 3: many of these defensive guys, even Nick a little bit too. 1377 01:00:35,360 --> 01:00:37,120 Speaker 3: I think is kind of key for the Clippers. If 1378 01:00:37,120 --> 01:00:40,200 Speaker 3: there's one guy who's injured, is that guy? And so 1379 01:00:40,280 --> 01:00:42,560 Speaker 3: they do need his depth because there are times when 1380 01:00:42,640 --> 01:00:44,480 Speaker 3: Chris Dunn gets played off. Who are you gonna put on? 1381 01:00:44,920 --> 01:00:46,920 Speaker 3: Derek Jones Junior was able to hit threes last year 1382 01:00:46,920 --> 01:00:48,440 Speaker 3: in the playoffs and get to the freaking finals and 1383 01:00:48,520 --> 01:00:53,240 Speaker 3: was awesome he was starting. So Tyler's gonna be just 1384 01:00:53,360 --> 01:00:57,040 Speaker 3: throwing guys out there, and so I have definitely copped 1385 01:00:57,080 --> 01:00:59,680 Speaker 3: out with this X factor decision. But there's just a 1386 01:00:59,720 --> 01:01:02,040 Speaker 3: billy of them for me in this series, like these 1387 01:01:02,080 --> 01:01:03,280 Speaker 3: secondary type of guys. 1388 01:01:03,560 --> 01:01:05,720 Speaker 7: What about you two k Michael Porter Junior for me, 1389 01:01:05,880 --> 01:01:07,880 Speaker 7: Denver's twenty two and eight when he scores twenty or 1390 01:01:07,880 --> 01:01:10,200 Speaker 7: more points sixteen and three when he makes four or 1391 01:01:10,240 --> 01:01:13,000 Speaker 7: more three pointers, Like I said, Denver's thirtieth in three 1392 01:01:13,040 --> 01:01:16,080 Speaker 7: point makes. He's their shooter, you know, outside of Murray, 1393 01:01:16,080 --> 01:01:18,120 Speaker 7: He's the guy that really gets him up. And I 1394 01:01:18,120 --> 01:01:20,800 Speaker 7: think his size gives him an advantage because he'll probably 1395 01:01:20,800 --> 01:01:24,040 Speaker 7: have somebody a little bit smaller than him, assuming that, 1396 01:01:24,200 --> 01:01:25,800 Speaker 7: you know, like Kawhi is probably going to be on 1397 01:01:25,840 --> 01:01:28,760 Speaker 7: Aaron Gordon as well. So I think there's opportunities for 1398 01:01:28,960 --> 01:01:31,360 Speaker 7: Michael Porter Junior to just catch and shoot over the top. 1399 01:01:32,040 --> 01:01:33,760 Speaker 7: He's got to make him because on the other end, 1400 01:01:33,920 --> 01:01:37,160 Speaker 7: Norm poll is kind of in the same spot for 1401 01:01:37,200 --> 01:01:39,480 Speaker 7: the Clippers where he'll have a favorable matchup. It'll be 1402 01:01:39,520 --> 01:01:42,520 Speaker 7: Gordon on Kawhi Brown on Harden. There's not necessarily a 1403 01:01:42,520 --> 01:01:46,720 Speaker 7: good third option. I don't think for the Nuggets against 1404 01:01:46,760 --> 01:01:49,320 Speaker 7: Norm Polla, it'll be Michael Porter Junior, who's not a 1405 01:01:49,360 --> 01:01:52,880 Speaker 7: defensive superstar, or Peyton Watson, who is questionable on the 1406 01:01:52,920 --> 01:01:55,400 Speaker 7: offensive end. They're one way players, both of those guys. 1407 01:01:55,440 --> 01:01:57,200 Speaker 7: So Norm Pollall, I think's got to win that matchup 1408 01:01:57,280 --> 01:01:59,680 Speaker 7: for the Clippers to win this series. So it comes 1409 01:01:59,720 --> 01:02:02,320 Speaker 7: to who was better, Michael Porter Junior or Norman Powell. 1410 01:02:03,120 --> 01:02:06,120 Speaker 7: I don't know. That's a that's a weird one. 1411 01:02:06,240 --> 01:02:07,960 Speaker 4: That is a weird one. That's a weird one. I mean, yeah, 1412 01:02:08,120 --> 01:02:10,360 Speaker 4: Norman Powell's had a much better season, but from game 1413 01:02:10,400 --> 01:02:13,080 Speaker 4: to game that swings. That's a drastics swing of the 1414 01:02:13,120 --> 01:02:14,240 Speaker 4: maybe the sides of the series. 1415 01:02:14,400 --> 01:02:16,520 Speaker 3: And yeah, Norm got cold towards the end of the 1416 01:02:16,520 --> 01:02:19,520 Speaker 3: season after being injured. Yeah, well he wasn't right. But 1417 01:02:19,640 --> 01:02:22,960 Speaker 3: tylu will say this catch and shoot numbers are awesome. 1418 01:02:23,000 --> 01:02:25,919 Speaker 3: He's forty five percent from three point land on catch 1419 01:02:26,000 --> 01:02:29,120 Speaker 3: and shoot opportunities. Was he hot against the Golden State 1420 01:02:29,160 --> 01:02:32,160 Speaker 3: Warriors in Game eighty two, No, but he came through 1421 01:02:32,200 --> 01:02:34,040 Speaker 3: with a couple of key buckets. So he'll be out 1422 01:02:34,080 --> 01:02:36,720 Speaker 3: there and he'll get the opportunity to play off Kawhi 1423 01:02:36,720 --> 01:02:40,000 Speaker 3: and Harden. He has been good most of the season. 1424 01:02:40,040 --> 01:02:42,840 Speaker 4: And normOn Powell's played in a lot of playoff games. Yeah, 1425 01:02:43,000 --> 01:02:44,440 Speaker 4: like surprising him now. I mean he played for the 1426 01:02:44,520 --> 01:02:46,720 Speaker 4: Raptors for a while. I guess he saw a series 1427 01:02:46,720 --> 01:02:48,600 Speaker 4: with the Blazers. I always forget he was on the 1428 01:02:48,600 --> 01:02:51,160 Speaker 4: Blazers there and then a couple here with the Clippers. 1429 01:02:51,160 --> 01:02:53,320 Speaker 4: He's nearing eighty five playoff games, so It's not like 1430 01:02:53,320 --> 01:02:57,120 Speaker 4: he's gonna be like, oh my god, bright lights. Only 1431 01:02:57,160 --> 01:02:58,560 Speaker 4: thing else I have to add. I mean, the X 1432 01:02:58,600 --> 01:03:01,680 Speaker 4: factor is always Jamal Murray with the Denver Nuggets, Like, 1433 01:03:02,120 --> 01:03:04,640 Speaker 4: especially in a playoff series, he levels up you like 1434 01:03:04,680 --> 01:03:07,280 Speaker 4: their chances, you know, just like we talked about where 1435 01:03:07,360 --> 01:03:09,720 Speaker 4: Curry he needed help, He needed Butler to help carre 1436 01:03:09,720 --> 01:03:11,920 Speaker 4: the offensive load. Same with Yokich. There's only so much 1437 01:03:11,920 --> 01:03:15,440 Speaker 4: the guy can do. He needs them all to obviously explode. 1438 01:03:15,440 --> 01:03:18,320 Speaker 4: But the Clippers roster, they just have so many defenders 1439 01:03:18,320 --> 01:03:22,000 Speaker 4: that can sort of probably disrupt him to some extent. 1440 01:03:22,080 --> 01:03:25,800 Speaker 4: Be it done, be it Derrek Jones Junior, and then 1441 01:03:25,920 --> 01:03:27,480 Speaker 4: and then even Zoobots at the rim, Like you know, 1442 01:03:27,520 --> 01:03:29,400 Speaker 4: if Jamal Gimurray gets there, he's not a bad rim 1443 01:03:29,440 --> 01:03:32,280 Speaker 4: defender at all. So that's gonna be tough. Do you 1444 01:03:32,320 --> 01:03:35,560 Speaker 4: believe in Jamal Murray? Do you believe in them? I'd 1445 01:03:35,600 --> 01:03:37,880 Speaker 4: like to, but it hasn't looked good here for a while, 1446 01:03:38,000 --> 01:03:40,360 Speaker 4: and he's got the little hamstring injury. Let's make our 1447 01:03:40,400 --> 01:03:43,520 Speaker 4: predictions task, get a starter. We know where you're leaning. Yeah, 1448 01:03:43,560 --> 01:03:44,880 Speaker 4: how many games though. 1449 01:03:45,080 --> 01:03:48,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the question. Will the Clippers win a playoff 1450 01:03:48,480 --> 01:03:52,640 Speaker 3: series in the Inuit Dome. Will they finish it off there? 1451 01:03:52,800 --> 01:03:54,480 Speaker 3: Or will they win it in Denver? I'll take the 1452 01:03:54,520 --> 01:03:58,520 Speaker 3: Clippers in six. I think it is interesting to watch 1453 01:03:58,640 --> 01:04:03,120 Speaker 3: David Adelman as the head coach of the Denver Nuggets saying, 1454 01:04:03,480 --> 01:04:06,000 Speaker 3: all right, Rush, you're not going well. Jalen Pickett, you're in. 1455 01:04:06,080 --> 01:04:07,480 Speaker 3: I mean there are gonna be a lot of minutes 1456 01:04:07,480 --> 01:04:10,080 Speaker 3: for guys like Jalen Picket who haven't had playoff success. 1457 01:04:10,120 --> 01:04:14,600 Speaker 3: I haven't had playoff experience. And so Jokic he can 1458 01:04:14,640 --> 01:04:17,560 Speaker 3: play forty forty five minutes. By David Adaman early in 1459 01:04:17,600 --> 01:04:20,280 Speaker 3: his career here as a head coach, he said, you 1460 01:04:20,320 --> 01:04:23,280 Speaker 3: gotta sit, man, We need you to rest. So those 1461 01:04:23,360 --> 01:04:26,600 Speaker 3: minutes when Joki sits are so so key. I'm gonna 1462 01:04:26,680 --> 01:04:29,160 Speaker 3: ride the clips in six. 1463 01:04:29,200 --> 01:04:33,280 Speaker 4: Okay, clips in six. Trey, you're pondering, you're pondering. 1464 01:04:33,480 --> 01:04:34,040 Speaker 7: Still don't know? 1465 01:04:34,280 --> 01:04:35,320 Speaker 4: Yeah, still though, No. 1466 01:04:35,360 --> 01:04:38,160 Speaker 7: I think this is such an interesting series because there 1467 01:04:38,160 --> 01:04:40,600 Speaker 7: are so many guys with questions like is there going 1468 01:04:40,680 --> 01:04:42,440 Speaker 7: to be a Westbrook moment in this series? 1469 01:04:42,480 --> 01:04:43,000 Speaker 3: Good or bad? 1470 01:04:43,240 --> 01:04:43,479 Speaker 4: Right? 1471 01:04:43,760 --> 01:04:46,560 Speaker 7: Is there gonna be a James Harden moment in this series? 1472 01:04:46,560 --> 01:04:46,960 Speaker 7: Good or bad? 1473 01:04:47,000 --> 01:04:49,200 Speaker 4: I mean that it is probably both. Yeah, probably be 1474 01:04:49,240 --> 01:04:50,320 Speaker 4: a forty point game and. 1475 01:04:52,800 --> 01:04:53,920 Speaker 7: Like he has a game once. 1476 01:04:53,960 --> 01:04:55,160 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, they're fun. 1477 01:04:55,360 --> 01:04:57,400 Speaker 7: So that could happen. I'm like, you look at the 1478 01:04:57,440 --> 01:04:59,960 Speaker 7: possession battle, like both of these teams want to run. 1479 01:05:00,120 --> 01:05:02,720 Speaker 7: The Clippers turn the ball over quite a bit. Denver 1480 01:05:02,800 --> 01:05:04,960 Speaker 7: loves the fast break their first and fast break points, 1481 01:05:05,440 --> 01:05:08,280 Speaker 7: but the Clippers also force the six most turnovers in 1482 01:05:08,280 --> 01:05:10,720 Speaker 7: the league. Denver never turns the ball over. Which way 1483 01:05:10,760 --> 01:05:13,880 Speaker 7: is that gonna go? Denver is awesome at offensive rebound, 1484 01:05:14,000 --> 01:05:16,120 Speaker 7: the Clippers are awesome at defensive rebound. Which way is 1485 01:05:16,160 --> 01:05:18,200 Speaker 7: that gonna go? Like this is gonna be This feels 1486 01:05:18,240 --> 01:05:20,480 Speaker 7: to me like a series that comes down to two 1487 01:05:20,560 --> 01:05:23,080 Speaker 7: or three plays in almost every game. There'll probably be blowouts, 1488 01:05:23,120 --> 01:05:25,080 Speaker 7: but like, it wouldn't be surprising to see the point 1489 01:05:25,080 --> 01:05:27,240 Speaker 7: differential at the end of the series be like ten. 1490 01:05:27,240 --> 01:05:29,680 Speaker 4: Over one of those where we go into a game 1491 01:05:29,720 --> 01:05:32,720 Speaker 4: six or seven and so the difference is three points. Yeah, 1492 01:05:32,800 --> 01:05:33,080 Speaker 4: So I. 1493 01:05:33,000 --> 01:05:35,600 Speaker 7: Think if we get the best version of the Nuggets 1494 01:05:35,640 --> 01:05:38,640 Speaker 7: starting lineup, they can win this series. They do have 1495 01:05:38,720 --> 01:05:40,840 Speaker 7: the best player. But I'm going Clippers in six as well. 1496 01:05:41,200 --> 01:05:45,480 Speaker 4: Oh double clips, Oh god, well, I have to swerve. 1497 01:05:45,600 --> 01:05:49,440 Speaker 4: I am a notorious Clippers hata. So just to make 1498 01:05:49,440 --> 01:05:51,200 Speaker 4: things interesting, even though I don't have a lot of 1499 01:05:51,240 --> 01:05:53,240 Speaker 4: confidence in it, I'll take Nuggets. It's gonna be long 1500 01:05:53,280 --> 01:05:55,800 Speaker 4: if they win this thing. The Nuggets are not steamrolling 1501 01:05:55,800 --> 01:05:57,520 Speaker 4: the Clippers here in this series. If they pull it off, 1502 01:05:57,520 --> 01:06:00,760 Speaker 4: I think it takes seven. But you know, Kich, you 1503 01:06:00,920 --> 01:06:02,960 Speaker 4: got the best player of the series. Like Zubat's as 1504 01:06:02,960 --> 01:06:04,840 Speaker 4: great as hear as he's had, as great as defender 1505 01:06:04,880 --> 01:06:06,520 Speaker 4: as he is. Maybe on Jokic, I love that you 1506 01:06:06,560 --> 01:06:08,640 Speaker 4: can play on one on one. Jok wants you to 1507 01:06:08,680 --> 01:06:10,480 Speaker 4: send help. He wants you to send bodies so he 1508 01:06:10,520 --> 01:06:12,760 Speaker 4: can just pick you apart. They probably don't have to 1509 01:06:12,800 --> 01:06:14,240 Speaker 4: do that if he stays out a foul trouble for 1510 01:06:14,240 --> 01:06:18,000 Speaker 4: a majority of the game. Still, he's he's gonna have 1511 01:06:18,000 --> 01:06:20,200 Speaker 4: some monster performances. He'll have to, and he knows it. 1512 01:06:20,240 --> 01:06:22,560 Speaker 4: That's the other thing. He knows this. But I also 1513 01:06:22,600 --> 01:06:24,480 Speaker 4: believe in Jamal Murray still got a little left in 1514 01:06:24,520 --> 01:06:27,240 Speaker 4: the tank here, at least a playoff Jamal. If we've 1515 01:06:27,280 --> 01:06:29,400 Speaker 4: got playoff Jimmy, we do have playoff Jamal at times. 1516 01:06:29,440 --> 01:06:31,400 Speaker 4: Hopefully he has a couple of good games, so I'll 1517 01:06:31,400 --> 01:06:33,600 Speaker 4: go nuggets and seven. And you know you talked already 1518 01:06:33,600 --> 01:06:35,920 Speaker 4: about Aaron Gordon. He he's looked good here of the 1519 01:06:35,960 --> 01:06:37,880 Speaker 4: last little bit. This is the best he's like. He's 1520 01:06:37,880 --> 01:06:39,560 Speaker 4: had a weird year, a lot of injuries as well. 1521 01:06:40,040 --> 01:06:43,200 Speaker 4: We saw how important he was to their championship. He's 1522 01:06:43,240 --> 01:06:47,720 Speaker 4: he's like a very very very poor man's Kawhi, you know, 1523 01:06:47,800 --> 01:06:51,840 Speaker 4: but defensive, strong guy and ken hit shots. He's not 1524 01:06:51,880 --> 01:06:54,080 Speaker 4: on a Kawhi level, but he's important. So I'll go 1525 01:06:54,200 --> 01:06:56,160 Speaker 4: nugs and seven. These guys clips in six. Let's hear 1526 01:06:56,200 --> 01:06:58,960 Speaker 4: from you in the stream team and in the comments below. 1527 01:06:59,000 --> 01:07:01,720 Speaker 7: The closest vote we've had, really fifty one. 1528 01:07:03,720 --> 01:07:05,160 Speaker 4: I guess the Nuggets. Clippers. 1529 01:07:05,240 --> 01:07:07,640 Speaker 7: Oh, fifty one Clippers, forty eight Nuggets. 1530 01:07:07,680 --> 01:07:10,920 Speaker 4: Okay, this one is a flip of the coin. Uh 1531 01:07:11,160 --> 01:07:14,840 Speaker 4: snow white slash black slash esh where you lean at. 1532 01:07:16,640 --> 01:07:18,680 Speaker 5: You guys kind of all said it, but you don't 1533 01:07:18,680 --> 01:07:20,440 Speaker 5: know what's gonna happen. With James Harden, He's not very 1534 01:07:20,440 --> 01:07:22,160 Speaker 5: good in the playoff. Sometimes sometimes he is. 1535 01:07:22,440 --> 01:07:23,080 Speaker 4: He's up or down. 1536 01:07:23,520 --> 01:07:24,320 Speaker 7: Yeah, you got the. 1537 01:07:24,280 --> 01:07:26,640 Speaker 5: Best player on the other side though with Jokic and 1538 01:07:27,080 --> 01:07:29,440 Speaker 5: a lot of times you can't pick against the best player. 1539 01:07:29,520 --> 01:07:32,720 Speaker 5: But but I think I gotta go clips in seven. 1540 01:07:33,000 --> 01:07:37,160 Speaker 4: That's why, That's why I clips in seven in Denver. Wow, 1541 01:07:37,240 --> 01:07:40,040 Speaker 4: that would be another Game seven loss for Denver at home. 1542 01:07:40,200 --> 01:07:42,160 Speaker 4: Oh jeez, there you go. You're writing the story here, 1543 01:07:42,480 --> 01:07:45,520 Speaker 4: all right. Can't wait, man, This weekend's gonna be freaking awesome. 1544 01:07:45,920 --> 01:07:46,080 Speaker 3: Uh. 1545 01:07:46,120 --> 01:07:48,600 Speaker 4: In case you missed it, yesterday, we did a couple 1546 01:07:48,640 --> 01:07:52,560 Speaker 4: of the Eastern Conference playoff previews. We did the Nicks 1547 01:07:52,600 --> 01:07:55,040 Speaker 4: and Pistons, so go check that out. We've also pulled 1548 01:07:55,040 --> 01:07:56,720 Speaker 4: that out as its own clip if you just want 1549 01:07:56,720 --> 01:08:00,640 Speaker 4: to watch that fifteen minute long video on YouTube. And 1550 01:08:00,760 --> 01:08:02,880 Speaker 4: of course we did the Pacers Bucks too, that when 1551 01:08:02,960 --> 01:08:05,840 Speaker 4: we were split on a little bit between the three 1552 01:08:05,920 --> 01:08:07,959 Speaker 4: or four of us. So that's good stuff. You always 1553 01:08:08,000 --> 01:08:10,120 Speaker 4: like to hear that, So go check those out. We 1554 01:08:10,160 --> 01:08:13,320 Speaker 4: will have your two to seven playoff previews. What we 1555 01:08:13,400 --> 01:08:15,959 Speaker 4: decide tomorrow, I think, is where we're gonna get to those. 1556 01:08:16,560 --> 01:08:20,000 Speaker 4: We now know them. We know it's the Celtics versus 1557 01:08:20,000 --> 01:08:22,719 Speaker 4: the Magic, and we know it's the Rockets versus the Warriors. 1558 01:08:22,760 --> 01:08:25,519 Speaker 4: So we'll start breaking down those on tomorrow's show, and 1559 01:08:25,600 --> 01:08:29,520 Speaker 4: obviously talking about tonight's games the nine to ten matchups 1560 01:08:30,240 --> 01:08:32,479 Speaker 4: always one of the weirder games in the league. But 1561 01:08:32,680 --> 01:08:35,559 Speaker 4: lose and you are done. And we've got both Tray's 1562 01:08:35,640 --> 01:08:38,599 Speaker 4: Chicago Bulls versus the Miami Heat, and then we've got 1563 01:08:38,600 --> 01:08:41,400 Speaker 4: the Dallas Mavericks in Sacramento to take on the Kicks. 1564 01:08:42,040 --> 01:08:44,200 Speaker 4: Any quick prediction, I guess we've already done this. You've 1565 01:08:44,200 --> 01:08:46,000 Speaker 4: got you got the Bulls Kings. 1566 01:08:46,479 --> 01:08:47,639 Speaker 7: Oh yeah, bull Kings. 1567 01:08:48,320 --> 01:08:51,519 Speaker 3: I'm riding with the Heat. Okay, that's gonna be the 1568 01:08:51,560 --> 01:08:53,920 Speaker 3: first ten seed to ever make the playoffs. 1569 01:08:54,200 --> 01:08:55,600 Speaker 4: You think that he are gonna beat the Bulls and 1570 01:08:55,640 --> 01:08:57,400 Speaker 4: Knight and then beat the Hawks on Frinday night. Wow, 1571 01:08:58,040 --> 01:08:58,439 Speaker 4: Bulls have. 1572 01:08:58,360 --> 01:08:59,759 Speaker 7: Won two straight nine to ten games. 1573 01:09:00,920 --> 01:09:03,760 Speaker 4: They're Juggernaut, the Dynasty playing dynast.

Anyway, Bulls in a 1582 01:09:20,720 --> 01:09:23,400 Speaker 4: very close game, and I'll take the Kings as well. 1583 01:09:23,520 --> 01:09:24,599 Speaker 4: Like the beat Baby, did. 1584 01:09:24,439 --> 01:09:26,240 Speaker 7: You know Kobe White scored forty two points and not 1585 01:09:26,320 --> 01:09:26,760 Speaker 7: playing game? 1586 01:09:27,280 --> 01:09:30,759 Speaker 2: Nobody knows what happened, remembers anything man exactly? 1587 01:09:30,840 --> 01:09:32,439 Speaker 7: Bean had thirty nine the year before. Do you remember 1588 01:09:32,479 --> 01:09:35,599 Speaker 7: that he could Steph Curry against the rest? 1589 01:09:35,840 --> 01:09:39,400 Speaker 4: Steph Curry averaged like thirty eight in playing games. 1590 01:09:39,240 --> 01:09:42,040 Speaker 7: Played on four of them.
