11
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 1: presented by the Fan Duel Sports Book. Hi, everybody, welcome in.

12
00:00:55,960 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 1: I think Marcus Thompson is as good an NBA a

13
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 1: writer as the league has. That's how highly I think

14
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 1: of him, and I think there's a lot of people

15
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 1: who do a really good job at this. He's been

16
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 1: covering the Warriors. He's got great books on Steph and Kad.

17
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 1: He'll be joining us in about seven eight minutes. The

18
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:22,319
Speaker 1: ratings have not been great so far in the NBA Finals.

19
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 1: It has nothing to do with politics or that people

20
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:31,039
Speaker 1: don't like the NBA. The NBA ratings for the playoffs

21
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 1: were outstanding until June hit and people who have been

22
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 1: cooped up in their house once their kids got out

23
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 1: of school have gotten on planes, trains and an automobiles

24
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 1: and gone on vacation and they're not at home to

25
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 1: watch the finals. How do I know this? Because the

26
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 1: playoff ratings were great the last month and a half

27
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 1: when school was in But try to buy an airline

28
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 1: ticket right now, they're double what they normally are. Try

29
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 1: to book a hotel room in a resort destination two

30
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 1: to three times as high as normal. Is that Americans

31
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 1: were cooped up and had to cancel vacation plans for

32
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 1: the last two years, and now June their kids are

33
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 1: out of school. People decided love basketball, but we will

34
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:30,080
Speaker 1: watch it from a hotel, which doesn't count in television ratings.

35
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:35,080
Speaker 1: So too often in our business, conservatives and liberals want

36
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 1: to validate their political affiliations and opinions, and they link

37
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:44,360
Speaker 1: sports stories and ratings to them. I do not. The

38
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 1: ratings for the finals are down simply because people, for

39
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:54,639
Speaker 1: the first time in two years, can go anywhere Asia Europe.

40
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,359
Speaker 1: I'm going on two European vacations this year, and I

41
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 1: don't consider myself some lavish, no bow traveler. But my

42
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 1: wife said, we've been locked up for two years. Let's go.

43
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 1: We're going to the Caribbean in two weeks. So we're

44
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:13,239
Speaker 1: not huge travelers abroad. We're going to go on three

45
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 1: vacations in three months. So what about people who are

46
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 1: big travelers who have been cooped up. A lot of

47
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,080
Speaker 1: those are sports fans, and that explains why the NBA

48
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:25,919
Speaker 1: ratings are down. The other thing to think about is

49
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 1: the NBA has got to get it schedule right. The

50
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 1: draft is a big deal in the NFL. It used

51
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 1: to be a big deal in the NBA. Now it's not.

52
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 1: It's not because the players coming out are nineteen years old.

53
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 1: They go to bad teams. They're not close to ready

54
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 1: to making an impact like a Duncan or of Patrick Ewing.

55
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 1: So unless there's a Zion maybe a John Rant draft

56
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 1: when you have two stars and a LaMelo ball, nobody cares.

57
00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 1: After the second pick, nobody cares. The NFL draft, we

58
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 1: watch it seven rounds and we watch it if it

59
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 1: went fourteen. So don't worry about when the draft lands. Also,

60
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: NBA free agency it's been surpassed by NFL free agency.

61
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:16,160
Speaker 1: There's more players more movement. Don't worry about that either.

62
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 1: Just get the season wrapped up by June first, so

63
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 1: when parents are about ready to go on vacation, just

64
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 1: before they get on the plane, the train in the car,

65
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 1: the season ends. What you're seeing with these ratings is

66
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 1: there is a timeline in the summer people will watch,

67
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 1: and then people will go on vacation, even if they

68
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 1: like your sport. Remember August preseason games in the NFL.

69
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 1: We watched Thursdays, we watched Mondays, we watched Sundays, we

70
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:50,279
Speaker 1: watched Saturdays. We don't watch early August. You know, I

71
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 1: didn't grow up, many of you know, in Connecticut, but

72
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:57,280
Speaker 1: I worked there for ten to eleven years, and one

73
00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 1: of the advantages of living in the North East is

74
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 1: the rapid tribal fan support, and I really learned what

75
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 1: it was like to love the Yankees and the Red Sox.

76
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 1: It made me like and appreciate baseball in its history more.

77
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 1: Also in that ten to eleven year period, I watched

78
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:19,599
Speaker 1: every Patriot preseason game and regular season game, and what

79
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:23,160
Speaker 1: I really came to appreciate about New England was not

80
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 1: only Brady and Belichick, but the intelligence of their entire operation,

81
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 1: And as I watched the finals between the Warriors and

82
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 1: the Celtics, I think there's something that's really really important,

83
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 1: and it's getting more important in sports, and that is

84
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 1: not IQ, which is always hard to judge. There are

85
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:50,040
Speaker 1: really smart players who don't always play smart basketball or football.

86
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:54,919
Speaker 1: It's EQ. EQ is emotional quotient. And the reason I

87
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,479
Speaker 1: think it's increasingly important. I think the Celtics and the

88
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 1: Warriors are really good at this is because players now

89
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 1: they're still very young and are making more than they've

90
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 1: ever made. How do they handle that? Because of social media,

91
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:16,280
Speaker 1: they're now being criticized publicly more than they've ever been criticized.

92
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:21,919
Speaker 1: How do they handle that? I think EQ going forward

93
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 1: is going to be increasingly important. And when you look

94
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:29,600
Speaker 1: at the great culture centers of my lifetime in sports,

95
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:34,720
Speaker 1: John Elway, Steph Curry, Derek Jeter, Tom Brady, it's not

96
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:39,919
Speaker 1: their talent that sets the culture, it's their personality. And

97
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 1: when I watch the Celtics and when I watch the Warriors,

98
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 1: these are not only really smart teams, but the front offices,

99
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:55,480
Speaker 1: the ownership, the coaching. They're good in chaos. Boston won

100
00:06:55,520 --> 00:07:00,919
Speaker 1: two seven game Seven's Golden State for the worst record

101
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 1: in the NBA two years ago. They've bridged being a

102
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 1: little too young with having players pass their prime tough

103
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 1: difficult series here in the playoffs. I think as I

104
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 1: look at sports going forward, as players are more highly compensated,

105
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 1: more publicly criticized, how they handle both will become really important.

106
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 1: And that's why I think when I look at the Warriors,

107
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 1: and I look at the Dodgers, and I look at

108
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 1: the Rams in southern California, Yeah, these are smart teams,

109
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 1: but they're really good in crisis. They're really good in chaos.

110
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 1: They keep their business private, they handle pressure well, and

111
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 1: a lot of our greatest players don't. And I just

112
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 1: think it's something I think about all the time. As

113
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 1: the players in the NBA are younger than ever, but

114
00:07:56,560 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 1: more highly compensated and more publicly criticized, that is a lot.

115
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 1: I know, I got six kids between my two biological

116
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 1: and my fourth step. That is a lot to dump

117
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 1: on young people and how they handle the money, the criticism,

118
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 1: the public pressure, the chaos will sort of determine championships

119
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 1: over the next few years. So far, I've been very

120
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 1: impressed with Patrick Mahomes, very impressed with Justin Herbert or

121
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow, how they've handled it publicly. Very impressed with

122
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 1: joh Murrant, Jason Tatum, tons of pressure, tribal fan basis,

123
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 1: incredibly public people, and they handle it really, really well.

124
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 1: In fact, I don't even need to give you names.

125
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 1: I'm often highly disappointed with older NBA players and how

126
00:08:55,000 --> 00:09:00,200
Speaker 1: they struggle with self awareness, how they struggle aging, how

127
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:06,440
Speaker 1: they struggle with new team environments. Russell Westbrook. That's disappointing.

128
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:10,840
Speaker 1: I think the younger players around sports are handling it

129
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:14,080
Speaker 1: much better than I would have handled it at twenty

130
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 1: three or twenty four years old. But I think when

131
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 1: you watch the Warriors, when you watch the Celtics, I

132
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 1: mean even Draymond Green, people think he's out of control.

133
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 1: I think he's completely manipulating the Celtics. I think he

134
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:33,199
Speaker 1: manipulates the officials. I think he's completely, absolutely in control.

135
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 1: I mean, listen, he's a very emotional player. But if

136
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 1: you don't understand the intelligence of Draymond and how he

137
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 1: can work a game, you don't get basketball. He is

138
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 1: a winning player. He's completely discombobulated the Celtics in the

139
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 1: last game. If you're looking at Draymond Green. And you

140
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:57,559
Speaker 1: don't think he knows what he's doing. You don't understand EQ,

141
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 1: you don't understand basketball. I mean, watch the Jalen Brown

142
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:06,680
Speaker 1: situation when they roll on the floor. It's so clever.

143
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 1: Draymond just moves his legs on top of Jalen Brown

144
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 1: enough to be really annoying. He just suddenly moved them over,

145
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 1: knowing Jalen would push them off. He then pushes Jalen

146
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 1: back as if in self defense. Jalen gets up, he

147
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 1: grabs his shorts. These are all very clever tactics to

148
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 1: get into Jalen Brown's head. Many the officials don't see

149
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 1: all of them, not serious enough to grant a technical.

150
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,560
Speaker 1: I think what you're looking at with these two teams

151
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:46,559
Speaker 1: is highly functional coaching staffs, highly functional rosters. And despite

152
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 1: the ratings, I'm completely emotionally all in on this series.

153
00:10:53,120 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 1: I think it's fascinating. All right, Let's bring on Marks Thompson,

154
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 1: Bay Area columnist for The Athletic. He's written a book KD.

155
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:08,599
Speaker 1: Golden about Steph Curry, and the current book Dynasties and

156
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:11,320
Speaker 1: the Ten Goat Teams that Change the NBA Forever. As

157
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 1: I said, I think he's as good an NBA writer

158
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 1: as the country has and so it's funny about this series.

159
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 1: Quarter to quarter, I'm flummixed. So this is my granular

160
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 1: micro take on it. If Robert Williams plays twenty eight

161
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 1: to thirty two minutes for the rest of the series,

162
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 1: I'll take Boston because I think he completely eliminates interior scoring,

163
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:43,439
Speaker 1: and the Warriors become very much about shooting threes, and

164
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 1: the Celtics have a lot of versatile wing defenders and

165
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 1: they're gonna make your efficiency drop. I don't think Robert

166
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:54,080
Speaker 1: Williams is going to play the remaining five games at

167
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:56,200
Speaker 1: thirty two minutes. I think he's closer to fifteen to

168
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:59,440
Speaker 1: twenty and so I still like the Warriors. But it's

169
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 1: been pretty obvious to me. Marcus Bama to Bayou held

170
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 1: a ten points a game. Robert Williams sits, he scores

171
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:11,720
Speaker 1: thirty one. Cavon Looney ineffective Game one, fantastic, nearly perfect

172
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:15,199
Speaker 1: Game two. That I think if when when Robert Williams

173
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 1: is healthy, I think Boston maybe a better team. Am

174
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 1: I out of my mind? Not at all? But they

175
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 1: call him time Lord for a reason. I mean Colin

176
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 1: I promise you. Sometimes it looks like he's popping his

177
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:31,840
Speaker 1: knee back in place and then he's going to block

178
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 1: a shot. It's like it's unbelievable that he's out there

179
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 1: like he's he's incredible. He's part of the more impressive

180
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:42,559
Speaker 1: figures of this whole series, right because he is clearly hobbled,

181
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:45,319
Speaker 1: he's clearly not one hundred percent. But when he's on

182
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 1: the court, he's a presence. They're driving and they're if

183
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 1: they're if he's not blocking the shot, they're like looking

184
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 1: over their shoulders for they're they're wondering where he's coming from.

185
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:57,199
Speaker 1: And you're right, we did. This is what we saw

186
00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 1: against Memphis. Remember when John went out and they added

187
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 1: Steven Adams to the base, And now you got Steven

188
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 1: Adams at the rim, and then you had Jaren Jackson

189
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 1: like roaming from everywhere blocking shots. That changed the entire series.

190
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 1: Like the words were kind of stuck a bit, because

191
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:15,400
Speaker 1: if you if you press up on them on the perimeter,

192
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:17,440
Speaker 1: their answer is to go to the hole. But if

193
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 1: you've got somebody to protected the hole, it's different. And

194
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:23,439
Speaker 1: they hate bit rangers like they don't they can take them.

195
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:25,319
Speaker 1: They have mid race shooters. They just don't want to

196
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:27,960
Speaker 1: live by it. It's Layer for three. So I don't

197
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 1: think you're crazy at all. I do think eventually they

198
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 1: would figure out something, just because they always do. But man,

199
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 1: Boston is tough. They are so tough, and I agree

200
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 1: with you that a healthy Robert Williams changes this series dramatically.

231
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 1: is that Steph Curry is easily the best offensive player

232
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 1: in this series and that we're going to have to

233
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 1: come to terms with Jason Tatum is not going to

234
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 1: be as efficient, Clay Thompson is not going to be

235
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 1: as efficient. These teams have excellent defensive players on the wing.

236
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 1: Steph it's in his DNA. He's a gifted, all time

237
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 1: offensive player. He's a Kobe, He's an MJU. It's like

238
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 1: Magic was always going to get his It's just the

239
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 1: way it is. But those guys are rare. Those are

240
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 1: generational players. That's Steph Clay and Tatum are excellent players.

241
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:02,480
Speaker 1: So my takeaway on this is you're just going to

242
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 1: have to come to terms. Can Boston win with Tatum

243
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 1: scoring twenty one a night at thirty nine and a

244
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 1: half percent. Can the Warriors win with Clay shooting thirty

245
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:16,440
Speaker 1: nine percent and giving you about thirteen points? So I

246
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 1: think they cancel each other out and the best player

247
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 1: left is Steph Curry, and I do think we'll go

248
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 1: six or seven, and I think Curry will end up

249
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 1: making the play. That's kind of my feeling. Now, do

250
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 1: you have any different interpretation of kind of my Tatum

251
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:37,040
Speaker 1: Clay feeling. I mean, I think that's a win for

252
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 1: the Warriors. If Tatum and Clay are the matchup, right,

253
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 1: the Celtics are here because Jayson Tatum was becoming a

254
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 1: Steph Curry finge, Right, that's where he's supposed to be.

255
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 1: It's supposed to be Jalen Brown and Clay And that

256
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 1: kind of underscores Boston's offensive issues, right, They're trying to

257
00:16:56,080 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 1: compete against a superior offensive team by a knocking the

258
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 1: words down a bit with defense. But also you still

259
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:05,879
Speaker 1: got to get a one hundred and five, right, one

260
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:09,400
Speaker 1: hundred and eight, and that's the difficulty. I do feel

261
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 1: like if Tatum pulls this off, I think we start

262
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:15,639
Speaker 1: talking about him like that because that would be quite

263
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:19,159
Speaker 1: the accomplishment, right, But then the game is different. You

264
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:22,399
Speaker 1: see it like STEP's a problem. Step is a problem.

265
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 1: No matter what you do. You press up on him,

266
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:27,160
Speaker 1: he's a problem, you step back off him, He's a problem.

267
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:31,120
Speaker 1: He just generates this this worry like you could now

268
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 1: like he's had two games, were you think gonna do

269
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:35,639
Speaker 1: the game three, They're gonna travel, They're gonna go crazy

270
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:38,719
Speaker 1: like everybody else did. And we thought that this Boston

271
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:41,400
Speaker 1: defense was so good that you kind of play Step

272
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:44,119
Speaker 1: a bit straight up and then he goes in average

273
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 1: is thirty right and kind of cooks you. So I

274
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:51,160
Speaker 1: do feel like he is he's obviously the best player

275
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 1: in the series. But what he does is so unique

276
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:58,240
Speaker 1: and so like damaging that you just have to overreact

277
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:01,119
Speaker 1: to it. So now the difference maker. But um, Jaylen

278
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 1: Brown and Andrew Wiggins, Right, it's like, can those dudes

279
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:07,479
Speaker 1: get off? Because yeah, I mean, if Clay gets hot

280
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 1: in this series, it's kind of over right, like if

281
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:14,960
Speaker 1: like that's that's kind of it. Where As Boston these

282
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:19,480
Speaker 1: Tatum and Brown and a third score, So that's the difficulty.

283
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 1: They've done a great job on Clay though they've done

284
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:23,639
Speaker 1: really well. Jaylen Brown said they were bad and Clay's

285
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:25,680
Speaker 1: just missed at a bunch of shots. But I do

286
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:29,119
Speaker 1: think he's missing because he's feeling so much and he

287
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:30,960
Speaker 1: ends up rushing that. I think that's the creator to

288
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 1: the defense. But yeah, steps steps unreal, man, Like, it's

289
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 1: really wild how you can't blak on this dude. And

290
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:39,879
Speaker 1: we've seen all these teams blitz up in Trapper we

291
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:42,639
Speaker 1: see Nick Nurse go kitchen sink, right, we see the

292
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:45,640
Speaker 1: boxing one, and Boston goes into the series like ah,

293
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:48,880
Speaker 1: he's got a great defense. We'll just you know, we'll

294
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:51,000
Speaker 1: play them straight up. And it's like, oh no, now

295
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 1: two games in they're like, all right, we understand why

296
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:57,960
Speaker 1: Tyler will not let step get off, right, we get

297
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 1: it now. We understand because step is different, Like he's

298
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 1: he's a generational offensive player for sure, and he's playing

299
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:07,960
Speaker 1: d what's up with that? Colin Steph playing defense? Two

300
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:12,119
Speaker 1: way Steph? And I think I think Kerr has preached

301
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 1: this is that guys, we can't be we don't have

302
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 1: their rim protector. Yeah, we all have to play defense. Everybody.

303
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 1: I think everybody. I think they've really committed to that side.

304
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:25,880
Speaker 1: That's why I thought Gary Peyton the second was huge

305
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:28,679
Speaker 1: in this series. You have to get him back. Iggy

306
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 1: is old. He hadn't played since Denver. This is what's interesting.

307
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:36,240
Speaker 1: Of the many things Peyton's dad played in the NBA,

308
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 1: Kerr played in the NBA, Steph played in the NBA.

309
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:42,480
Speaker 1: Is dad Clay dad played in the NBA. Wiggins professional

310
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:46,720
Speaker 1: Athletes His dad played the NBA too. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

311
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 1: You know what's fascinating with the Warriors. You can really

312
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:55,200
Speaker 1: hard coach them, like I don't think you can I mean,

313
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 1: I see the Lakers. You can't hard coach all those guys.

314
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:04,160
Speaker 1: Man about to find out with Darvin Ham, But it's

315
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 1: you're around the Warriors, like I think. I think Kerr

316
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 1: is on their ass a lot, and I think they

317
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:15,679
Speaker 1: demand a lot. And maybe that's my interpretation, but I

318
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 1: think there's value Dad played in the league. Dad tells

319
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 1: you the truth about this league, which is you're gonna get.

320
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:24,959
Speaker 1: And by the way, I think those dads like it

321
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 1: because I think they don't want they see their son

322
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 1: making all this money and Dad didn't. He's like coaching,

323
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 1: coach him hard. But I do think the part of

324
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 1: the Warrior's culture is this incredibly deep iq EQ from

325
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:43,520
Speaker 1: the dad, the mom on. You can just coach him differently.

326
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:48,359
Speaker 1: You know there is something to that, right Like I

327
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:51,960
Speaker 1: think it starts with Steph because if Steph was different,

328
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:55,159
Speaker 1: everything would be different. If he's a superstar, if he

329
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 1: acted a certain way, it would be much tougher for

330
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 1: everybody to fall in line. But because you can coach

331
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 1: stuff right like, because you know he's mister mid major,

332
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:07,440
Speaker 1: like coach get hard on him. Remember his mother was

333
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:09,959
Speaker 1: finding him for turnovers, right like his dad told him

334
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,880
Speaker 1: all about how it goes like that kind of set

335
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:16,320
Speaker 1: the tone. But yeah, I mean remember Michael Thompson will

336
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:19,400
Speaker 1: crochet at his own son and the heartbeat right, he'll

337
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:23,000
Speaker 1: he'll he'll point out when Clay's missing leap. Can you

338
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:26,399
Speaker 1: imagine what Gary Payton has said to his sonagin he

339
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:30,000
Speaker 1: imagine a tough love there. I do think there's something too,

340
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:33,560
Speaker 1: not not just that they were former players, but they're

341
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 1: players from a different era where it's like, my son

342
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:40,960
Speaker 1: can't be soft right now, my son, he can't. You're

343
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 1: not about to be out here misrepresent my generation and right.

344
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 1: So I do think there's something to that where it's like, hey,

345
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 1: I know Clay Thompson this from Rancho, you know wherever

346
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:55,359
Speaker 1: he's from Rancho, Sating to Margarita or whatever. You know,

347
00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:59,439
Speaker 1: they grew up in these affluent environments. They've had, you know,

348
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:03,119
Speaker 1: not slives. Their parents set them up. But they're not

349
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:05,680
Speaker 1: gonna be soft. That that's not happening. That's where Gary

350
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 1: Payton told this, You're not you're not about to be

351
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 1: I know you're not from the hard, scrambled streets of Oakland,

352
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:13,520
Speaker 1: but you're you're wearing that paint name. You better get

353
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 1: out here and play hard, and they all they all

354
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:18,920
Speaker 1: do kind of have that, right, like Steph will never

355
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 1: stop coming at you ever, and he went to Charlotte

356
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:26,080
Speaker 1: Christian This is not from the right side of the tracks, right,

357
00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:28,480
Speaker 1: but I do think their fathers kind of put that

358
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:31,720
Speaker 1: in of that nineties basketball and who who's more nineties

359
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:34,399
Speaker 1: basketball to Steve Kerr like he fought Michael Jordan, he

360
00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 1: will fight all of them dudes, right, Like remember when

361
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:40,600
Speaker 1: Mike Brown, Steve Kerr called like COVID and Mike Brown

362
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:44,119
Speaker 1: had to fill in, and there were moments where it

363
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 1: was like, here's where you miss Steve, because Steve will

364
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:49,160
Speaker 1: call the time out and cuss the whole team out, right,

365
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:52,200
Speaker 1: Steve will Steve will call out Steph for the turnovers.

366
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:54,879
Speaker 1: He will go off on Draymond, whereas Mike Brown is like,

367
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 1: all right, I'm gonna trust that these guys figure it out.

368
00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:00,720
Speaker 1: And that's where you kind of really felt Steve paspact

369
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:03,240
Speaker 1: you don't care about like your phili is. He gonna

370
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:05,159
Speaker 1: tell you what it is, he gonna call you what

371
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 1: you're wrong. He gonna get on his superstar and when

372
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 1: he wrong, he's gonna call it. But he doesn't care

373
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:13,679
Speaker 1: about that that dude played with Michael Jordan, like he

374
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:18,280
Speaker 1: ain't worried about he worried about the filage of his players. Sure, yeah,

375
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:21,600
Speaker 1: you know, it's what happens in sports is we tend

376
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:27,400
Speaker 1: to overreact. And it's always been inches not feet. I mean,

377
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:32,160
Speaker 1: outside of the Rams Super Bowl, Brady could have lost

378
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:35,160
Speaker 1: all of them, or he could have won all of them,

379
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:38,520
Speaker 1: and so it's it kind of is reasonable. He should

380
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:40,479
Speaker 1: have lost a couple of close Super Bowls, right like

381
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:43,919
Speaker 1: as whereas Jordan, I always felt his team was really better.

382
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:48,639
Speaker 1: So if the Warriors win, I feel this Warrior team

383
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 1: is a little just a year too young, Moody cominga

384
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 1: with a couple of their players and then they're a

385
00:23:56,000 --> 00:24:02,159
Speaker 1: little too old Steph clay Egg. But yet they're just

386
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:04,800
Speaker 1: so buoyant, they're so smart, they're they're they you know

387
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:06,720
Speaker 1: what I mean, they just keep they don't they get

388
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 1: perfect the media, they just perfect, right, So they're just

389
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:15,680
Speaker 1: they're just um, they just kind of figure shit out, right,

390
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:21,960
Speaker 1: And but it's interesting if they lost this series, Yeah,

391
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:25,720
Speaker 1: there'd be a change made, even for a franchise that

392
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:29,640
Speaker 1: doesn't overreact. And I'm thinking, if let's say they lose

393
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:33,720
Speaker 1: the series, Clay doesn't play well, what do you do.

394
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:36,240
Speaker 1: They got a lot of young they got a lot

395
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 1: of young players that are really interesting, and they're getting

396
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 1: really expensive with their old players. I've everybody says, you

397
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 1: can't break them up, and I'm like, you know how

398
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:47,119
Speaker 1: many times I've heard that shit. You lose a title

399
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 1: game and you have four expensive stars and one of

400
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:55,640
Speaker 1: them doesn't play well, people overreact. I don't. I don't

401
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:57,680
Speaker 1: know that they do this time because I don't think

402
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 1: the expectation was championship. So they're already in the sense

403
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:07,720
Speaker 1: playing with house money, you know. I think from that standpoint,

404
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:11,960
Speaker 1: they thought they'd be good again if they lost in

405
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:15,159
Speaker 1: the West Finals to Phoenix. Say right, Phoenix was the

406
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:18,480
Speaker 1: best team in the league before Dallas like exposed them.

407
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:20,800
Speaker 1: I feel like they look at this and say, all right,

408
00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:23,200
Speaker 1: we're back. I mean, they went from not making a

409
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:26,000
Speaker 1: play into the West finals. The thing you gotta the

410
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 1: thing that I made that gives them patience, right, it

411
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:31,280
Speaker 1: gives them a chance to have patience. Is the money

412
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:34,479
Speaker 1: that chick in. Like the new money won't kick in

413
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:37,480
Speaker 1: until the next season, not this next season, but the

414
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:40,919
Speaker 1: one after that. That's when George Booze money would kick in,

415
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:43,359
Speaker 1: and that's the big money you're talking about. And also,

416
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:48,960
Speaker 1: if if Clay finishes the series not playing well, Draymond

417
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,840
Speaker 1: finished the series not playing well, what could you get

418
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:54,040
Speaker 1: from them on the market. The best thing you might

419
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:56,439
Speaker 1: be able to do is run it back and hope

420
00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 1: Clay in his second year will be more healthy. It'll

421
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:02,919
Speaker 1: just be it'll be tough to move them. But I

422
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 1: do feel like from all the time that I've heard,

423
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:10,320
Speaker 1: this season reminded them or what's confirmation? I think it

424
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:13,200
Speaker 1: when the championship again, even if it's not this year,

425
00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:15,720
Speaker 1: they're back in the mixt So now you're running back

426
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:18,960
Speaker 1: next year, right, you got Wiggins in the contract year.

427
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 1: You know, even if you resigned Pool, that wouldn't kick

428
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:27,040
Speaker 1: in for two years. So like, financially, they still basically

429
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:29,199
Speaker 1: in the same situation. The question becomes how do you

430
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 1: add what you need right now? If they lose the finals,

431
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:34,440
Speaker 1: it's like, yo, you need to get some n protection,

432
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:36,959
Speaker 1: right you can use another way, like how do you

433
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:40,600
Speaker 1: get that? And that's where you need the rookies to advance.

434
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:43,320
Speaker 1: So they kind of are in a situation where I

435
00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:46,639
Speaker 1: don't know it would benefit them if they overreacted, like

436
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 1: who's the player they can go get that's better than

437
00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:51,399
Speaker 1: what they have, So they might be well positioned. The

438
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:54,200
Speaker 1: question is what happens in two years or if they

439
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:57,440
Speaker 1: decide to re up Wiggins. Right now, you got Wiggins

440
00:26:57,440 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 1: getting new money and George Poole getting new buddy, and

441
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 1: you still got stuff making fifty Clay forty right, Like,

442
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:06,200
Speaker 1: didn't numbers get crazy? But do you see the numbers

443
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:09,520
Speaker 1: they're raking in. They just guaranteed a fifth game, a

444
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:13,200
Speaker 1: third game in this playoff series. So that's that's four

445
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:16,119
Speaker 1: series with at least three games at the highest ticket

446
00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:19,800
Speaker 1: prices we've ever seen. So money ain't a thing they like.

447
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:22,560
Speaker 1: It's like Joe Lacob is like in that video with

448
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 1: Jay Z and Jermaine Dupre with the top down screaming

449
00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:28,720
Speaker 1: out money and a thing you know you can at all,

450
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:33,720
Speaker 1: but somebody need the photoshop. Joe Lacob in that in

451
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:36,960
Speaker 1: the drop into convertible with Jay Z and Jermaine Dupre.

452
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:44,199
Speaker 1: You know, I gotta tell you something this series. I

453
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:46,840
Speaker 1: really like Kevin Durant. I like a lot about him.

454
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:49,879
Speaker 1: Um I compare him to Aaron Rodgers a lot that

455
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:52,200
Speaker 1: he is more sensitive, and a lot of people are

456
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:56,360
Speaker 1: that's good. I'm good with it, you know. Um, And

457
00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 1: I think he really does deep down, I think he does.

458
00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:04,399
Speaker 1: I don't think he regrets leaving, but I think he

459
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:06,800
Speaker 1: probably looks at himself and says, man, I should have

460
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 1: just confronted Draymond because now he's got Ben Simmons, you

461
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:14,480
Speaker 1: got Kyrie hard and quit on him, you know. I mean,

462
00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:18,280
Speaker 1: you know kd well enough. If the Warriors win that night,

463
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:22,480
Speaker 1: to you, what is he thinking, I gotta give me

464
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:25,800
Speaker 1: a championship. I don't think it changes, you know. I

465
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:28,440
Speaker 1: think he's still got Brooklyn has to win a championship.

466
00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:33,119
Speaker 1: That's the bottom line, right, And I don't think that

467
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:38,239
Speaker 1: changes either away. Maybe it increases the pressure. I don't know.

468
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:43,000
Speaker 1: I wonder. I do wonder about that because you know, man,

469
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:45,600
Speaker 1: if the Warriors win a championship, you know they're gonna talk, right,

470
00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 1: your guy, Draymond Green is going to be on his

471
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 1: show on the volume of sports and everybody will hear

472
00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:56,920
Speaker 1: what Draymond has to say. So I do think it

473
00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 1: will increase the rhetoric, right, which really agreees the pressure.

474
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:02,920
Speaker 1: But I don't think it changes the end game. Like, Katie,

475
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:04,760
Speaker 1: you want to win a championship. Man, he left to

476
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:08,680
Speaker 1: win the championship under his own terms and with his guys.

477
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:14,200
Speaker 1: I don't think that changes. I definitely think though, Man,

478
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:18,080
Speaker 1: you gotta wonder about how he gets there at this point, right,

479
00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:22,959
Speaker 1: because even if the Warriors win, Boston ain't going anywhere, right, right, right,

480
00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:27,120
Speaker 1: going anywhere and not getting hurt again? Yes, right, So

481
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:30,240
Speaker 1: like you gotta deal with it. But man, Katie's about

482
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 1: that championship. Like, so from that sense, I don't think

483
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:35,440
Speaker 1: it changes. I know we will go crazy, right, and

484
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:38,520
Speaker 1: he will spend an off season, and here in the

485
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:41,840
Speaker 1: comparisons and the constant dialogue, I don't think it'll change

486
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 1: the end game, which is he went to Brooklyn to

487
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:48,320
Speaker 1: win a championship, and so far he hasn't won one.

488
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:52,160
Speaker 1: And if you know anything about KD, that dude wants

489
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:54,000
Speaker 1: to win a champions That's why he went to the

490
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:55,960
Speaker 1: Warriors in the first place. He wanted he want to,

491
00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:58,960
Speaker 1: he want rings, he wants titles, like he's he's going

492
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:04,000
Speaker 1: for something great. So the heat turns up socially and

493
00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:06,880
Speaker 1: we know like that will get a response out of him.

494
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:10,000
Speaker 1: But I do feel like, don't matter what anyway, they

495
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:12,600
Speaker 1: got swipt by busted. You go get a KD next year,

496
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:15,680
Speaker 1: right like you go get all of KD. Will it

497
00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:19,960
Speaker 1: be enough? Is another question. This week's gold medal performance

498
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 1: goes to the NFL team that keeps doing things the

499
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:26,040
Speaker 1: right way. The Rams did it again. They kept another

500
00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:28,520
Speaker 1: star in the fold, locking up the Great Aaron Donald

501
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:32,520
Speaker 1: to a massive extension. Dominance starts upstairs, and the Rams

502
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:35,640
Speaker 1: continue to run circles around most of the league. They

503
00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:38,680
Speaker 1: know LA's a star driven town. They do everything possible

504
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:41,160
Speaker 1: to keep and acquire the best of the best, and

505
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:44,360
Speaker 1: the NFL knows it too. Today, I hereby declare the

506
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:49,360
Speaker 1: Rams as the new America's team. I'm Colin Cowherd. The

507
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:53,280

00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:26,120
Speaker 1: investments dot com. Game three. It's the old zigzag theory

515
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:32,440
Speaker 1: where in the NBA playoffs, the last game dramatically affects

516
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:35,560
Speaker 1: the next game. And my feeling is that it got

517
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:40,160
Speaker 1: a little chippy with Draymond, and refs do saw a

518
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:44,280
Speaker 1: little so rests do swallow their whistle in the finals

519
00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:46,960
Speaker 1: and in the conference finals, they'll let you play, but

520
00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:51,360
Speaker 1: there are also guardrails they want to protect, right, So

521
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:54,200
Speaker 1: I tend to think the first half of Game three,

522
00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:56,240
Speaker 1: the refs are gonna set a little bit of a tone,

523
00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 1: bring it in a little bit. That's my feeling. And

524
00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:03,480
Speaker 1: I wonder if Kurr is telling the Warriors that, like Draymond,

525
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:07,120
Speaker 1: that shit ain't gonna play that. Yeah, you gotta bring

526
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:11,160
Speaker 1: that thing in, because my my feeling is Boston felt

527
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:14,400
Speaker 1: they were pushed around. They're going to be more physical

528
00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:17,920
Speaker 1: the Warriors. Is Kurt telling them, guys, you may be

529
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:21,680
Speaker 1: careful on this um, but I think Boston can only

530
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:24,320
Speaker 1: win if they're physical. I don't think they're pretty. I

531
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:27,959
Speaker 1: don't think they play pretty basketball. So I think it's

532
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:32,880
Speaker 1: a fairly low scoring game, but not as chippy. That's

533
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:36,480
Speaker 1: that's what I see. What do you see? Game three? Yeah?

534
00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:39,200
Speaker 1: I think I think Draymond's leash will be short, right.

535
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:42,000
Speaker 1: Everybody's been talking about how he basically got a pass

536
00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:45,080
Speaker 1: from the second technical, by the way, which I think

537
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:49,000
Speaker 1: is soft wanting people to be ejected, Like all you

538
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:51,720
Speaker 1: eighties and nineties players out here talking about how tough

539
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 1: you were. You can't be then asking for a dude

540
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:57,360
Speaker 1: to get ejected on a double tech, which is by

541
00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:02,040
Speaker 1: definition soft anyway, and double texts as it is, but

542
00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:04,720
Speaker 1: trying to you know what I'm saying, Like double texts

543
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:07,600
Speaker 1: are just like, yo, you got two kids arguing, both

544
00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:09,200
Speaker 1: of y'all in trouble because I don't feel I don't

545
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:11,640
Speaker 1: feel like figuring out who started it, right, Like that's

546
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:14,160
Speaker 1: what a double tech is. So I'm not I'm not

547
00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:16,480
Speaker 1: about ejecting any player. I don't care what team you

548
00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:20,240
Speaker 1: play for on a double technical file. But I do

549
00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:23,160
Speaker 1: feel like they've heard it a while. And Draymond does

550
00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:26,280
Speaker 1: live on the third rail, right, he is dancing on

551
00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:29,600
Speaker 1: that thing. So if he, I think it's leash will

552
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:32,000
Speaker 1: be shorter. I wouldn't even be surprised if he ends

553
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:35,800
Speaker 1: up getting ejected, just because he is going to feel

554
00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:38,880
Speaker 1: that Boston crowd, right, and they're gonna bit him. And

555
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:42,440
Speaker 1: he loves this stuff. He loves the black cat, he

556
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:45,040
Speaker 1: loves being a villain. So he's gonna go in there

557
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:49,200
Speaker 1: and he's gonna be on til and that thing gets

558
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:51,320
Speaker 1: a little, it gets a little chippy, right, it gets

559
00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:55,880
Speaker 1: a little. So can you imagine any like any semblance

560
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:59,400
Speaker 1: of a flagrant one becomes a flagrant too if he doesn't, right, like,

561
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:03,800
Speaker 1: if he files somebody too hard like all of that stuff,

562
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:06,360
Speaker 1: he doesn't, he won't have much room for error. So

563
00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:10,080
Speaker 1: I do feel like Boston has to turn us into

564
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:14,279
Speaker 1: a brawl. It's got to be like a melee on causeway, right,

565
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:16,960
Speaker 1: Like you got this team is too good. The Warriors

566
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:19,160
Speaker 1: are too good to let them just kind of do

567
00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:22,759
Speaker 1: what they do. But Draymond is the enforcer. Here's the

568
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:26,239
Speaker 1: tricky part, though. Here's the tricky part, though, Kyl. The

569
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:31,040
Speaker 1: Warriors have not suffered that much. When Draymond steps out, like,

570
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:36,960
Speaker 1: they become more offensively gifted, right, they become more free flowing.

571
00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:39,720
Speaker 1: And while he is obviously the anchor of the defense

572
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:43,359
Speaker 1: and the floor general, they do have other ways to play.

573
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:45,799
Speaker 1: So they just kind of go the other way, Like

574
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:48,120
Speaker 1: you can't do without Draymond four a series. But you

575
00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:50,800
Speaker 1: but when we've seen it, we saw the Memphis he

576
00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:53,800
Speaker 1: got ejected and they won, right Like, so it's almost

577
00:34:53,800 --> 00:35:00,320
Speaker 1: a risky proposition for you know, Boston, like you body

578
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:02,520
Speaker 1: be asking, You're asking the Warriors to go small and

579
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:04,839
Speaker 1: put more shooters on the floor if you try, if

580
00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:07,520
Speaker 1: you get Draymond's off. So do you actually want Draymond's off?

581
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:10,280
Speaker 1: Because now it's like, all right, Steph Clay and Jordan

582
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:13,360
Speaker 1: Poole to court together with Gary Payton. You know what

583
00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:16,160
Speaker 1: I'm saying, Wiggan, Right, they might go small, just shoot

584
00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:19,480
Speaker 1: the lights out. It is. It's not as cut and

585
00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:22,680
Speaker 1: dry as you think, even though losing Draymond is a

586
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:25,960
Speaker 1: huge emotional and defensive thing. But they do become a

587
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:29,400
Speaker 1: better offensive juggerna when they go smaller and put more

588
00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:31,839
Speaker 1: shooters on the court. And it is just kind of risky, Like,

589
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:34,120
Speaker 1: you're right, they've got to make this an ugly game.

590
00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:38,080
Speaker 1: But taking Draymond out makes the Warriors kind of lean

591
00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:41,000
Speaker 1: in to the to the style of play that hurts

592
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:43,719
Speaker 1: Boston the most. That's that's gonna be the tricky part.

593
00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:48,000
Speaker 1: Is your relationship different from Steff to Draymond it is

594
00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:51,040
Speaker 1: it like do you everybody? I have different personalities with

595
00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:55,080
Speaker 1: different people, right, Like like is your personality? Is your

596
00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:59,080
Speaker 1: relationship different with those two? Oh? Yeah, no question. First off,

597
00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:03,759
Speaker 1: Steph is like a global icon, right, So it's like

598
00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:06,920
Speaker 1: it's like, you get two minutes with the president. You

599
00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:09,440
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, You feel like I'm a big

600
00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:12,000
Speaker 1: West wing guy, right, Remember, Like if it would be

601
00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:15,400
Speaker 1: like it would be like people holding up whole bills

602
00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:18,680
Speaker 1: right in Congress and their answer is, then just give

603
00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:21,040
Speaker 1: me two minutes with the president, right, and then all right,

604
00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:22,839
Speaker 1: that's all you wanted. I could have got you that, right.

605
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:26,640
Speaker 1: That step is on that level right to where sometimes

606
00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:30,160
Speaker 1: forgetting because I've known him for so long, Right, it's like, Yo,

607
00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:33,200
Speaker 1: this dude is huge, Like he's a global icon, so

608
00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:36,120
Speaker 1: that that's different from that way, whereas Draymond is like

609
00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:39,719
Speaker 1: definitely like hold me next door, right, Like you can

610
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:41,960
Speaker 1: talk to Draymond, you can talk back to him, right,

611
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:44,200
Speaker 1: you can you can argue with Draymond, and you can

612
00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:46,040
Speaker 1: do that step with Steph if you get to him.

613
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:49,919
Speaker 1: He's just such a major, huge icon. But they're both

614
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:54,200
Speaker 1: incredibly down to earth, so right, Steph is hilarious, Like

615
00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:57,600
Speaker 1: he's always dogging me in press conferences, like he's funny,

616
00:36:57,640 --> 00:37:00,880
Speaker 1: he's cool, He's cool Draymond. It's like you could you

617
00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:03,759
Speaker 1: could be a Draymond, could go to Target, you know

618
00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:05,480
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Like Draymond is one of them, dude

619
00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:07,800
Speaker 1: who was just kicking in Target and talk to everybody

620
00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:12,600
Speaker 1: because he's so persuitable. Yeah, no, I he is. You know,

621
00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:17,160
Speaker 1: when I started the volume, I think all companies need

622
00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:21,319
Speaker 1: a moment, a break, and I build this volume thing

623
00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:23,040
Speaker 1: where it's it's a year and a half hold. But

624
00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:24,640
Speaker 1: I've been working on it for two and a half years,

625
00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:27,719
Speaker 1: and Draymond was our big break. Like we knew he

626
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:31,000
Speaker 1: was going to be good, um, but he was so much.

627
00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:35,799
Speaker 1: He's such a grinder and he's just he's such a

628
00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:38,040
Speaker 1: great example for the rest of our podcasters. I'm like,

629
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:41,120
Speaker 1: he's our biggest star and he's our hardest worker. And

630
00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:44,440
Speaker 1: it kind of speaks to his second round draft selection,

631
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:48,560
Speaker 1: his Michigan State call, no question. I mean his game

632
00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:52,720
Speaker 1: is his podcast game, same thing, no question that dude.

633
00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:56,239
Speaker 1: Sometimes I have to like stop and think about it,

634
00:37:56,320 --> 00:37:59,840
Speaker 1: Like I remember when he was getting drafted and he

635
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:02,000
Speaker 1: thought he's gonna be a first rounder. In the second round,

636
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:04,120
Speaker 1: he was still there. Remember he was like the chubby dude,

637
00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:08,440
Speaker 1: a tweeter like what he's grown to become. And I

638
00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:11,319
Speaker 1: think the part, the part that always gets missaged just

639
00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:14,959
Speaker 1: how smart he is, right, like how he figures things out.

640
00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:19,800
Speaker 1: And he always seems to like play chefs while everybody

641
00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:22,879
Speaker 1: else is playing checkers. So you kind of feel like, man,

642
00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:25,160
Speaker 1: his dude will be able to do anything because he's

643
00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:27,640
Speaker 1: got the IQ to figure it out right, And half

644
00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:30,440
Speaker 1: the time when he's doing his thing, like he knows

645
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:34,799
Speaker 1: what he's doing. He knows what he's saying exactly, Yes,

646
00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:39,480
Speaker 1: like calculated from this like algorithm. And did you see

647
00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:44,440
Speaker 1: with Jalen Brown he just moved his feet just up

648
00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:47,719
Speaker 1: the torso to be a pain in the ass. Yes,

649
00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:52,719
Speaker 1: just like Grays that calfs went off up against them. Absolutely, Yeah,

650
00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:55,640
Speaker 1: he knows, I'm telling you he. I remember this from

651
00:38:55,640 --> 00:38:57,279
Speaker 1: back in the day when it was Blake Griffin and

652
00:38:57,360 --> 00:39:01,759
Speaker 1: the Clippers, Like he knows exactly what he's doing, like

653
00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:04,919
Speaker 1: and he does get out of control, but it's far

654
00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:08,879
Speaker 1: less than what people think. It's it's often more calculated,

655
00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:12,520
Speaker 1: like he's he's super smart. Like that's the thing about Draymond.

656
00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:15,879
Speaker 1: He's so smart he's going to figure it out no

657
00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:19,160
Speaker 1: matter what. And then he's gonna talk crazy once he

658
00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:21,600
Speaker 1: figured it out, because it didn't look like he was

659
00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:23,640
Speaker 1: gonna figure it out. It's all part of the plan.

660
00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:29,360
Speaker 1: Like I've seen him literally like set himself up because

661
00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:31,200
Speaker 1: he knows I'm better when I got to prove my

662
00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:35,200
Speaker 1: points or I'm better when I gotta I gotta show you, right.

663
00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:38,200
Speaker 1: So like that dude is like he's he's a bit

664
00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:44,120
Speaker 1: of a genius in that sense. Especially, I mean, really

665
00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:47,920
Speaker 1: it's wild with Rodman. Rodman had some of that, but

666
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:51,560
Speaker 1: he wasn't a catalyst offensively, and there were times with

667
00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:55,320
Speaker 1: Rodmen where he just lacks certain personal self control. I

668
00:39:55,440 --> 00:39:58,959
Speaker 1: think those moments for Draymond are very very brief. There

669
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:01,359
Speaker 1: a second he gets mad, but then he just goes

670
00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:05,560
Speaker 1: right back to being kind of the ultimate physical manipulator.

671
00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:09,320
Speaker 1: And also he like owns his stuff, right, he doesn't.

672
00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:12,080
Speaker 1: He doesn't duff. You never hear him lay like he was.

673
00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:15,120
Speaker 1: He is the first one I wasn't good in the game.

674
00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:19,120
Speaker 1: One Like Draymond. He is one of them dudes who

675
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:22,200
Speaker 1: kind of you know, he's just telling the truth because

676
00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:25,160
Speaker 1: he doesn't. He's too smart to lie. You know what

677
00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:27,160
Speaker 1: I'm saying. It's almost like I don't need to lie

678
00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:29,799
Speaker 1: because I can figure it out. I don't need to

679
00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:32,120
Speaker 1: get out of it because I could figure out the situation.

680
00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:35,480
Speaker 1: But so he also owns it when he's not, when

681
00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:38,040
Speaker 1: he's not ready, or when he's not like on point.

682
00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:40,600
Speaker 1: But usually he's on point. There's just a more times

683
00:40:40,640 --> 00:40:45,760
Speaker 1: than people understand his craziness. It's more calculated than it is. Question.

684
00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:50,360
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, ab solutely all right? Marcus Thompson.

685
00:40:50,680 --> 00:40:54,920
Speaker 1: He's got books K D, Golden and Dynasty. Is the

686
00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:57,719
Speaker 1: ten goat teams that change the NBA forever. We get

687
00:40:57,760 --> 00:40:59,720
Speaker 1: him about once a month. He's as good as anybody

688
00:40:59,719 --> 00:41:02,080
Speaker 1: in the country at what he does. You know what else,

689
00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:07,040
Speaker 1: I got a better background than you. Finally, let's go

690

Speaker 1: now time out. Are you in a hotel? I am.

Speaker 1: I'm in a fancy hotel in Boston. Peeky's out. Let's

692
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:20,000
Speaker 1: go what what? What's the hotel in Boston? It's called

693
00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:23,799
Speaker 1: the Row. I never heard it's called the Row. It's

694
00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:26,600
Speaker 1: on something called a simbly row. I don't know it's

695
00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:29,600
Speaker 1: a I just saw like a tybout plass outside and
