1
00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:07,200
Speaker 1: Cover your mouth post pickup could be the move. I'm

2
00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:11,119
Speaker 1: not sure who started this trend in the NBA, Ron Jordan,

3
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:16,000
Speaker 1: Tom Googliata, whoever it was, I respected, don't need woes

4
00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:18,520
Speaker 1: asking John Boy what the boys were discussing post All

5
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:21,000
Speaker 1: Star game? About to be my new move post three

6
00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:23,639
Speaker 1: v three runs? Maybe me look like I can ball

7
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:28,320
Speaker 1: bro Muscot game. He's talking like Lebron over there, mean

8
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 1: while me and the boys are on favorite Goldfish flavors

9
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:34,040
Speaker 1: where we're watching the game tonight. How nobody in Survivor

10
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:38,080
Speaker 1: uses their idol anymore. I haven't decided yet, but I'm

11
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 1: thinking it could be the move.

12
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 2: Good morning, Swirl and welcome to the No Dunks podcast

13
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 2: on the Athletic Network. It's Monday, May thirteenth, twenty twenty four.

14
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 2: I'm g eastkeets here in the Classic.

15
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 3: Factory and alongside me as always.

16
00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 4: Tasmel is thirteen. I love that number.

17
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 2: Next to him, it's the bearded woman Natasha, hot Boy,

18
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:05,320
Speaker 2: Trey Kirby, Ao Hey Yo, and last but not least

19
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 2: over Yonder making the magic happen, super producer JD.

20
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 3: There he is, Here we are.

21
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 2: That was a very very funny cold open congratulations.

22
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 5: On that one.

23
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 6: Thank you, thank you.

24
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:17,760
Speaker 3: Good fine, it was new to me, you know, it

25
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 3: was fresh.

26
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 6: Right, Yeah, exactly. It's hard to find those now. We're

27
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 6: all in the same algorithm over here.

28
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 3: That's absolutely true.

29
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:27,760
Speaker 2: I'm convinced every tweet I see and I share, Trey

30
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 2: especially is seeing it as well.

31
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 3: If not, you're.

32
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 7: Getting those tweets because I'm liking them, I think. So

33
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 7: that's how the algorithm works. Is this podcast about the algorithm?

34
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 6: It's it's incredible to me that you hadn't seen that

35
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 6: because it's got basketball, not Survivor, I mean, and it's

36
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:46,320
Speaker 6: flavored water drinks.

37
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 2: No lips to that can. Maybe they were sharing lips.

38
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 2: Very funny cold open. Here we are, though. Shout out

Speaker 2: appreciate it. Share the show with your friends. We got

42
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 2: lots to talk about. We're gonna touch on all four

43
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 2: playoff series. We had six total games from the weekend,

44
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 2: and we'll get to the NBA Draft lottery and drop

45
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 2: a couple of cacas up in here. But let's start

46
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 2: with Sunday's games. We'll work backwards defending champ Denver Nuggets

47
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 2: tying their series against the Wolves one fifteen, one oh seven.

48
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 3: There in game for your.

49
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:27,359
Speaker 5: Thoughts, those defending champs looked like the champs. I was

50
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:29,639
Speaker 5: waiting for Game four, though, because I just wanted to

51
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:33,079
Speaker 5: see how Minnesota would react to Denver changing up the

52
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 5: way they play. Everybody was bringing up the ball in

53
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:39,079
Speaker 5: Game three, so Minnesota couldn't pumble them with their defense,

54
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:41,959
Speaker 5: and they did the same thing to start Game four.

55
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,640
Speaker 5: But I thought Denver kind of flubbed at the beginning

56
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 5: with Aaron Jokic pushing the ball, gave it to Aaron Gordon,

57
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 5: and he just had a bit of a hand tussle

58
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 5: where you just dropped the ball. Looked like you could

59
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 5: have had a dunk. And then Anthony Edwards on the

60
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 5: same possession, comes the other way and gets all the

61
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 5: way to the hoop. Why don't you stop the ball Denver,

62
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 5: Edwards is gonna get going, and he obviously did. He

63
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 5: was phenomenal. He just didn't have any help, especially in

64
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 5: that first quarter. Kat did a little flex when he

65
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 5: kind of stopped Nikole Jokich. Jokic just didn't hit a

66
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 5: shot over him. But I don't know why Kat was flexing.

67
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 5: Maybe he's a little overreacting, but he just stopped hitting

68
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 5: shots on the other end while the Nuggets just kept coming.

69
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 5: Was Aaron Gordon, Jokic, obviously, Reggie Jackson. They had a

70
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 5: five point lead going to the second quarter, and then

71
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 5: their bench came out and was bananas twelve two to

72
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 5: start that second quarter. Justin Hollay hit two consecutive threes.

73
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 5: Justin Holiday. They got him play for the Denver Nuggets

74
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 5: this year basically, and he's leading the team and three

75
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 5: pointers made this series, which is nuts as bonkers. But

76
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 5: Minnesota did fight back. They had Condley go to the

77
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 5: bench and they had a triple tower plan. They had

78
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 5: Nazried playing with Townsend Gobert. They were fine until the

79
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 5: incredible run to end the quarter. It was a seven

80
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 5: point lead for the Denver Nuggets. Yeah, it wasn't a

81
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 5: monstrous lead, but then they go on that at O run,

82
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 5: which we're all going to be talking about forever. It

83
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 5: feels like the Reggie Jackson three, the Michael Porter dunk,

84
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 5: and then boom that Jamal Murray three, Oh my god,

85
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 5: where he does the pose in front of the broadcast crew,

86
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 5: in front of Harlan. That three was phenomenal to make

87
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:23,280
Speaker 5: it a fifteen point game, and then they just kept

88
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,480
Speaker 5: it going and going and going, and Ant just needed

89
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,720
Speaker 5: some help and right Kat unfortunately couldn't get them going.

90
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 5: But the jokis Aaron Gordon especially and Jamal Murray. That's

91
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 5: the thing. Jamal Murray had only scored four points until

92
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,040
Speaker 5: he hit that three, and then I mean it felt

93
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 5: like everybody was just coming from the Nuggets. That was

94
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:46,280
Speaker 5: an awesome, awesome shot, awesome photos coming from Jamal Murray

95
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 5: on that scores they will.

96
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:49,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, he scored eight points in twenty seconds.

97
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 4: Sounds like what's uh, Michael Buffer?

98
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,040
Speaker 7: No, Bruce Buffer is the guy in the UFC when

99
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 7: he's introducing like title fights, it's him and the guy

100
00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 7: oh yeah, screaming in his face, the Korea zombie lucky

101
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 7: eye to eye.

102
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 4: That was having a Harlot man.

103
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,599
Speaker 7: That was so cool and it definitely unlocked Jamal Murray

104
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:11,040
Speaker 7: a little bit. Went for twelve points in the third quarter.

105
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 4: I thought the.

106
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 7: Nuggets in Games three and in Games four, they were

107
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 7: just so much more aggressive, so much more intentional about

108
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 7: getting into their offense. You mentioned the Hollinger article on

109
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 7: the athletic. Basically, they said, Jamal Murray, we don't need

110
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 7: you wasting your energy getting hounded by Jade McDaniels up

111
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,160
Speaker 7: and down the court. We'll let anybody else. Yeah, bring

112
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 7: the ball up. It allows Murray to play off the ball.

113
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 4: I thought.

114
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:33,279
Speaker 7: Jokic came out with a mindset to dominate in Game four.

115
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 7: Eleven points in the first quarter, went five five for

116
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 7: seven from the field, and like every time Gobert was

117
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 7: on him one on one, his eyes lit up. I'm

118
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 7: going down there, I'm gonna score. He scored nineteen in

119
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 7: the first quarter. It was similar to the way Jamal

120
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 7: Murray and Michael Porter Junior started Game three. They came

121
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 7: out looking to score a lot of pop from them.

122
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 7: Murray was great in the third quarter in Game four,

123
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 7: and then Jokic slams the doors shut in the fourth quarter.

124
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 7: Sixteen points for him, the most he's in the fourth

125
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 7: quarter of a playoff game. This guy's got a championship.

126
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 7: This guy has showed up in the playoffs time and

127
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:07,839
Speaker 7: time again. So to get that kind of performance in

128
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 7: a fourth quarter on the road in a must win

129
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 7: Game four, that was huge. The Nuggets shot fifty four

130
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 7: percent in Game three, fifty seven percent from the field.

131
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:19,119
Speaker 7: In Game four on the road against the best defense

132
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 7: in the league. People aren't telling you, this is the

133
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 7: third best defense of the past one hundred years, and

134
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 7: they lit them up.

135
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 5: They did.

136
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, especially after going down two oh everyone was poor

137
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:29,920
Speaker 2: and dirt on the Nuggets and saying it was a wrap.

138
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 3: You had people saying, maybe this is a sweep. How

139
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:32,840
Speaker 3: can they.

140
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,279
Speaker 2: Even get by this defense. They switched things up and

141
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:36,480
Speaker 2: it worked and they were awesome.

142
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:41,159
Speaker 5: There were here, yeah.

143
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:42,919
Speaker 2: Camera action there, but yeah, that that run at the

144
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:44,920
Speaker 2: end of the first half was wild yea. And it

145
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 2: was some honestly boneheaded decisions by the Wolves too. Incredible

146
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 2: shot making by the Nuggets, don't get me wrong, Like

147
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:52,480
Speaker 2: that passed a Reggie and we've seen you Kicch make

148
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 2: that past a million times. He hits the three, but

149
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 2: then Anthony Edwards, what are you doing? You probably want

150
00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:59,480
Speaker 2: to hold for last shot on that one he drives

151
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,360
Speaker 2: in there, bumbles the ball. That's the Michael Porter junior dunk.

152
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 2: And then Nikhil Alexander Walker, what are you doing? Who

153
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 2: was he throwing it to? Just chucking it was like

154
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:08,720
Speaker 2: throwing it. It was like maybe we'll see that in

155
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 2: Paris come later this summer. It was a Canadian throwing

156
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 2: it to a Canadian, but that guy was on the

157
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 2: wrong team. Jamal just got it and then yeah, hits

158
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 2: the fifty five foot bomb. He drops in the stance

159
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 2: and then yeah, they're you know, looking at Harlan. Harlan's

160
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 2: screaming on the calls. Incredible. But that was huge because

161
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 2: in the end they win this game by eight points.

162
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 2: Those were pretty important eight points and it got Jamal

163
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 2: Murray going. He said he had twelve of his points

164
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 2: there in that third quarter. Jokic took over in the

165
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 2: fourth and the bench just to go back to them.

166
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 2: Twenty seven points for Denver's bench, six to nine from deep.

167
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 2: You had Reggie Jackson doing a great job in limited minutes,

168
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 2: but giving Jamal Murray a little bit of a break

169
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:47,679
Speaker 2: to rest justin holiday.

170
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 3: This guy's on.

171
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 2: Fire from three those timely three pointers anytimes the Wolves

172
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 2: had a little bit of a run.

173
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 3: And then Christian Brown.

174
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:54,679
Speaker 2: Two eleven points, three boards. He played with great energy.

175
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 2: He got the most minutes of that bunch, but they

176
00:07:56,520 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 2: got something from Denver's bench. Huge reason why this series

177
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 2: is now too too which is exciting obviously that we're

178
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 2: going to have a best of three series.

179
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 5: Now, yeah, you got a name all the Nuggets who

180
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 5: contributed because they needed them. They really truly did. Jamalberry

181
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 5: had four points of their sixty one before he hit

182
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 5: that big three and then started going. And he still

183
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 5: talked trash to Anthony Edwards at the end of this game,

184
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 5: who had a monstrous game. Anthony Wowards had a monstrous game,

185
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 5: but forty four points. I thought, Yeah, that possession there

186
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 5: where he did turn it over. He went at the

187
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 5: right time. It was seven seconds remaining. You go at

188
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 5: seven seconds, but somehow he just kind of lost the

189
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 5: ball at the free and he did he'd made Yeah,

190
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:36,959
Speaker 5: he just just one tiny, tiny mistake of a guy

191
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:41,599
Speaker 5: who was cooking. And post game was basically like the

192
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:43,080
Speaker 5: other team has the best player in the world who

193
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:45,680
Speaker 5: touches the ball all the time, which I think is

194
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:47,840
Speaker 5: I need to touch the ball just a little bit more.

195
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 5: And unfortunately Carl Anthony town just wasn't that guy. He

196
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,199
Speaker 5: really wasn't. He was trying to post up I do.

197
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 5: I mentioned that flex at the beginning of the game

198
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 5: because it was like he was trying to force himself

199
00:08:58,480 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 5: into the game, and I think that's what he was

200
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,079
Speaker 5: doing with the shots. Yes, but he was dead.

201
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 2: Unfortunately, does that from the end of time. He's had

202
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 2: a really good series. Yeah, through the first three games

203
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 2: he was averaging twenty points per game. His splits were incredible.

204
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 2: They were like sixty sixty to eighty. But yeah, there's

205
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 2: not many guys in the league TK. I think that

206
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:16,679
Speaker 2: when they have a bad game.

207
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:18,320
Speaker 3: Look as bad as Cash does.

208
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 2: He was one to ten in the first half. He

209
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:23,119
Speaker 2: finished five of eighteen, thirteen points.

210
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 3: Twelve boards, three assists.

211
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 2: But just I think you're right task he's like he

212
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 2: gets into like force mode and obviously.

213
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:30,560
Speaker 3: He picks up the dumb fouls here and there. This

214
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:32,960
Speaker 3: was just a really bad, bad one for him.

215
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 4: It's snowballs for Towns.

216
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 7: I guess Julius Randall is the only other guy would

217
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 7: throw in the mix, Like when it starts going bad

218
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:41,320
Speaker 7: for them, they can't seem to necessarily flip it on

219
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 7: its head and change their face be halfy.

220
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:45,960
Speaker 4: But honestly, the first pumpkin game for Towns.

221
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 5: But he was.

222
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 7: Brutal and this one at the start of the third quarter,

223
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:52,199
Speaker 7: the Nuggets went at him four straight times scored all

224
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 7: four times with basically the same play. They would have

225
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,679
Speaker 7: Gordon bring the ball up, dribble hand off to KCP.

226
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 7: He swings in to Jamal Murray, two man game, Murray

227
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 7: and Jokich basically targeting Towns. First it was Murray goes

228
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 7: buy him for an easy lefty layup. Then he hits

229
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:08,200
Speaker 7: the pull up jumper over him. Then they try some

230
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,560
Speaker 7: other stuff, and the Nuggets just had an answer for

231
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:13,080
Speaker 7: everything that the Timberwolves were trying to do. I am

232
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,839
Speaker 7: a little curious about Anthony Edwards cause you mentioned maybe

233
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:17,440
Speaker 7: he would like the ballimore He took twenty five shots,

234
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 7: biggest usage percentage on the team, forty four points. Kind

235
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 7: of wonder if the Nuggets played at Timberwolves style, go crazy,

236
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:27,560
Speaker 7: go crazy, but Edwards nobody else did anything.

237
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:30,559
Speaker 5: Yeah, they weren't going to get his ball, get the

238
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:31,960
Speaker 5: ball out of his hands, but they were showing him

239
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 5: sort of two guys like a few feet away to

240
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 5: let him do his thing whatever he wanted. But they

241
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 5: were still able to take everybody else away. They weren't

242
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 5: letting Jane McDaniels go off or Mike Conley go off,

243
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 5: who contributed a little bit in this game. Yeah, he

244
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:48,679
Speaker 5: was available to shoot twenty five shots. Yeah, what he

245
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:51,560
Speaker 5: was saying, I don't know. Maybe the Rudy Gobert helped

246
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 5: me out kind of thing. Don't let Nikola Jokic pull

247
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 5: the chair out of you as he did late in

248
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 5: this game, or Carl step up, Old Carl, come on,

249
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:03,440
Speaker 5: do it. But he's just being himself, you know, he's

250
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 5: just talking a little bit trash buddy. At the same time,

251
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:09,440
Speaker 5: he was respecting the other team. I have faith that

252
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 5: they will respond a little bit. But the way the

253
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:15,080
Speaker 5: Nuggets responded, as you mentioned all those guys, because Jokic

254
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 5: went to the bench early in the third quarter, he

255
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 5: picked up two quick fouls. He had four fouls and

256
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,439
Speaker 5: he went to the bench, but everybody contributing to help

257
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 5: him out. I thought he was going to be, as

258
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:26,079
Speaker 5: you said, Anthony Dwards, a lot of shots, twenty five shots,

259
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 5: same for Jokic in this game. I thought he was

260
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 5: going to be one of those or twenty six for him.

261
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:30,839
Speaker 5: I thought it was going to be one of those

262
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 5: games where he shot thirty time plus times like he

263
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 5: did in last year's postseason in Round two when he

264
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:37,680
Speaker 5: tried to go through him. But he had to go

265
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,319
Speaker 5: to the bench, and so other guys came through and

266
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 5: Christian Brown was was awesome, and yeah, Mike Malone said,

267
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:48,440
Speaker 5: Payne Watson, you're out. Justin Holiday, You're in. And even

268
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 5: Raggie Jackson only played nine minutes in this game because

269
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 5: he had a pretty bad turnover with nah Nikhil Alexander

270
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 5: Walker guarding him. I guess they wanted another point guard

271
00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 5: out there, and Christian Brown, everybody's just playing point guard

272
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:00,160
Speaker 5: for this freaking.

273
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 2: We haven't mentioned Aaron Gordon as well. Twenty seven points,

274
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 2: eleven of twelve shooting. I don't think he missed until

275
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,200
Speaker 2: like the final like four minutes of the game. He

276
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 2: was eleven for eleven up to that point. But when

277
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 2: he is hitting three pointers, they look like an unstoppable team.

278
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 2: That's the thing.

279
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 3: And he's shooting it really well.

280
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 2: He doesn't shoot a ton, but I think he hit

281
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 2: a couple in this game, and he just had you know,

282
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:21,600
Speaker 2: usually Iron Gordon, it's all around the rim. It's all dunks,

283
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 2: some of them fast break whatever, but it's Yokic finding

284
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 2: him and he did that as well. But when the

285
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 2: jumper's fall under, the three is falling, it's just like

286
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 2: a whole other level to this team. He was amazing

287
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 2: in this game.

288
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:31,839
Speaker 4: He could get a game ball.

289
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 7: I mean it goes to the jokch number one, but

290
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 7: Gordon was probably second star on the night.

291
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 4: I thought for.

292
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 7: Denver because he was their point guard when Jokic would

293
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:41,680
Speaker 7: go to the bench, and the Nuggets won the non

294
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 7: Jokic minutes in this game in the first and the

295
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:45,960
Speaker 7: first half. In the second quarter, a nine zero run

296
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 7: as soon as Jokic checks out. In the second half,

297
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 7: third quarter, a six to zero run as soon as

298
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 7: Jokic checks out, Like, you gotta win the minutes when

299
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 7: nugget when Yokic is on the bench, That's how you

300
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 7: beat the Nuggets because it's tough. He's gonna score all

301
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 7: the time. You're right, Gordon totally had everything going. He

302
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 7: had a fade away over Rudy go Bear in the

303
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 7: mid range. I was like, what, Yeah, it's just his night,

304
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 7: and it definitely was. He was also pretty solid, I

305
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 7: thought defensively on at least making him work since he

306
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:13,440
Speaker 7: was one on one against him quite a few times.

307
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 7: He had a steal, had a couple of blocks, six assists.

308
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,679
Speaker 7: He really did everything out there, and then you mentioned it,

309
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:21,600
Speaker 7: the non shooters on the Nuggets outshot the shooters on

310
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:24,880
Speaker 7: the timber Wolves. Eight threes combined from Gordon Brown, Holiday

311
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 7: and Reggie Jackson. Five threes combined from Conley Town's Nasried

312
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 7: and Nikil Alexander Walker, who had a brutal game.

313
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 3: He had a brutal weekend.

314
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, Nikil Alexander Walker who had been playing well

315
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 2: through the postseason, but not a good weekend for him.

316
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 3: But we have a series here.

317
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 4: Now.

318
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:40,319
Speaker 2: Do you think, like I said, when Denver goes down

319
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:42,960
Speaker 2: two oh, they lose both games at home, they're flustered,

320
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 2: they're throwing, you know, heating packs on the ground, and

321
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 2: everybody was like, it's over. It's a wrap, they're done.

322
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 2: They have met their match in Minnesota. Do you think

323
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 2: the SAME's gonna happen here?

324
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 4: Now?

325
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:53,480
Speaker 3: Test that now?

326
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:55,320
Speaker 2: Now Denver Winsley these two games on the road and

327
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:57,600
Speaker 2: everyone's like, well now it's over from Minnesota. They had

328
00:13:57,600 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 2: to take one of those at home, and like they're

329
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:00,839
Speaker 2: ready to pour their on them. Now, do you think

330
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:02,760
Speaker 2: that could happen? It just the pendulum swings O.

331
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 5: Yes, bendelum is swinging.

332
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 3: Do you believe that though?

333
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:08,839
Speaker 5: I think it's the Nugget series. Are they are the

334
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 5: Timberwolves dead? No, I do not believe that, but yeah,

335
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 5: the Coffin's going down. I mean, they're they're getting the nails, right,

336
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 5: he did knock knock knock Bay.

337
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 4: Yeah.

338
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:18,920
Speaker 5: I think I think the Nuggets are playing their best

339
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 5: basketball of this postseason right here, right now. And this

340
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 5: is the Timberwolves first adversity of this postseason. You know,

341
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 5: they came from the sweep against Phoenix, they lose Game three,

342
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 5: and they didn't react other than Anthony Edwards who was smoking. Obviously,

343
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 5: there's good plays from other guys in this game, but

344
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 5: you needed somebody, somebody to step up. It wasn't Cat,

345
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 5: It wasn't a kill Asana Walker. Nasri is biting a

346
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 5: lot even though he scored, He's biting a lot on

347
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 5: Jokich's ball fakes over and over and over again. They

348
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 5: need the second guy, and it was Aaron Gordon in

349
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 5: this one. It reminded me of the Finals when Aaron

350
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 5: Gordon Game four where they basically put away the heat

351
00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 5: and he led the Nuggets and scoring. Remind me that

352
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 5: exact same amount of points, the exact number of makes

353
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 5: and eleven he didn't lead a team in scoring because

354
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 5: was so awesome in this game. But they got a

355
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 5: number two, you know, and Jamalberry didn't have to be spectacular. Obviously,

356
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 5: we're gonna remember his face up against Kevin Harland's face,

357
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 5: but yeah, they got Where are they dead? Are the

358
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:23,840
Speaker 5: timbles dead? Do you think this is a game game

359
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 5: five series? Yeah? Game five is Jokic's celebration of the

360
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 5: m v P trophy at home in Denver too. It's

361
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 5: a little other boost for Denver's at home. They gotta

362
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 5: win on the road. This is gonna be very tough

363
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 5: for the world.

364
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 2: If we always say a series hadn't started until the

365
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 2: road team wins. But now this is the opposite series

366
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 2: where we haven't had a home team actually win a game.

367
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 2: So we'll see what happens in game five. Any of

368
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 2: the random notes from this one, we did have Rudy

369
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 2: and Kat slipping.

370
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, could have been very bad.

371
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 2: We see this from time to time, you know, the

372
00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 2: one guy's down, the other guy comes to help mount

373
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 2: Lefs go out from und him, but he's seemed okay.

374
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 2: And the only other note I have is Rudy once

375
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 2: again slipping in his money signs when you know he's

376
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 2: you know, he's implying that the refs are being paid off.

377
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 2: And then they went to the clip where he got

378
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 2: called for the foul, any foul. It was like, weird

379
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 2: choice to pull out that one. I don't know if

380
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 2: he'll get another fine for that. Maybe it was too quick.

381
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 5: He just did a.

382
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 4: Handoff, handoff?

383
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 2: Anything else from this one?

384
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 5: What do you got? Yeah, their team only shot twelve

385
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 5: more free throws. The Wolves only shot twelve more free

386
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 5: throws than the other team. So is it are they

387
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 5: paid off to make the Wolves win or what's going on?

388
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 2: It was weird for him to do it because they

389
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 2: literally showed the play where he got the found and

390
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 2: he was like, yeah, that's a foul, man, what you're

391
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 2: talking about?

392
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 3: Anyway?

393
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 5: I just found this note interesting. Only one team has

394
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 5: come back from two to zero, being down after losing

395
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 5: the two games at home and then went on to

396
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:55,400
Speaker 5: win the championship that same season. Only one team has

397
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 5: ever done it last two and one of those first

398
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 5: few series at home and then went one to win

399
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 5: the championship. Only one team is done.

400
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:06,359
Speaker 3: Toronto Peers did not lose their No.

401
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:08,480
Speaker 5: No, you know this team we all became fans at

402
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:12,680
Speaker 5: the same time. This team, like, it's early in our

403
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 5: our fans.

404
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 3: So it's either the Bulls or the Rockets.

405
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:17,160
Speaker 5: Or yes it is the nineties.

406
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, it's not one of those teams.

407
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 4: Is I think it's the Rocket right, it is the Rockets.

408
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's never went.

409
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:24,120
Speaker 3: Down to Yeah, which one? Which one was that?

410
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:27,200
Speaker 5: It was ninety four against the Suns. Barkley just went

411
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:29,440
Speaker 5: to the finals and they went up towo zero against Houston,

412
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 5: and Houston took care of them in round two in

413
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:32,560
Speaker 5: round two, just.

414
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 2: Like this, just like okay, okay, okay, let's keep it

415
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:40,960
Speaker 2: going here. We had a blowout on Sunday Mother's Day massacre.

416
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:43,480
Speaker 3: Because that's what they're called.

417
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:47,239
Speaker 2: Halliburton and the Pacers take advantage of the shorthanded Nicks here.

418
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:49,280
Speaker 2: They even their serious. We're too two over here in

419
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:52,879
Speaker 2: the East as well. One twenty one to eighty nine

420
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 2: in Game four. I mean, Trey, I don't know when

421
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 2: you turn this one off.

422
00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:57,639
Speaker 3: Was it at the half?

423
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:00,800
Speaker 2: Maybe you gave it to the third quarter, but they

424
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 2: went on a twenty nine to seven run. Indiana did

425
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:04,679
Speaker 2: they had like a twenty three point lead in the

426
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:07,439
Speaker 2: first quarter. It finished with them up twenty at the

427
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:10,200
Speaker 2: end of the quarter and New York was never within fifteen.

428
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 2: After that, they cruised to a thirty two point victory.

429
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:15,639
Speaker 2: What were your takeaways from that one?

430
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:18,680
Speaker 7: Fourteen points in the first quarter was when it was over,

431
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 7: it was really it. I mean, yeah, it's hard to

432
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:23,479
Speaker 7: come back from down twenty, even though it happens all

433
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 7: the time. But it's hard for a Knicks team that

434
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 7: has not a ton of players playing right now against

435
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:30,680
Speaker 7: a Pacers team that's being pretty smart about the.

436
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:31,440
Speaker 4: Way they attack things.

437
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 7: They're saying, hey, we got guys, We're running as much

438
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:36,880
Speaker 7: as we possibly can. And they dominated in Game four,

439
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 7: and I thought they were pretty solid in Game three

440
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 7: as well. So yeah, this one was really over by halftime.

441
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:45,040
Speaker 7: I mean, if you're a Knicks fan, the silver lining

442
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 7: is that Dante Divincenz only played thirty two minutes. Yeah,

443
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 7: Jalen Brunson only thirty one minutes. All your other starters

444
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 7: were under thirty and Alec Burks is alive. Jericho Simms,

445
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:57,960
Speaker 7: shake Milton, they exist. I saw him on the court,

446
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:02,200
Speaker 7: yeah baby. But yeah, the Pacers they looked awesome. Halliburton

447
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:04,160
Speaker 7: has been great. He had a bad game one. He's

448
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 7: been maybe the best player on the court for the

449
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 7: last three games. Has really strung some things together here

450
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:11,679
Speaker 7: and then the biggest weapon I do believe for the

451
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 7: Pacers is their bench right now, because they come in

452
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 7: they play even faster than the starters do. Teed McConnell

453
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:20,680
Speaker 7: went for fifteen points and ten assists, Isaiah Jackson ten points,

454
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 7: six rebounds, and Obi toppin fourteen points and a sick

455
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:24,720
Speaker 7: reverse alleys.

456
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:26,200
Speaker 4: Oh, those that looks really nice.

457
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:29,200
Speaker 7: Yeah, this guy's putting together a highlight reel of dunks

458
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:30,119
Speaker 7: just from this series.

459
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:31,480
Speaker 4: Been very, very impressive.

460
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:33,880
Speaker 7: But you compare it to the Knicks bench, who did

461
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:38,160
Speaker 7: get some decent performances from Burkes in particular, Miles McBride

462
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 7: was hitting. But that does just seem like a big

463
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:43,160
Speaker 7: time advantage for the Pacers and they know that their

464
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:45,639
Speaker 7: effort really pushes them over the top. It's just a

465
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 7: matter of can the Knicks starters keep it close for

466
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:49,639
Speaker 7: their minutes, win their minutes.

467
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:51,120
Speaker 4: They obviously weren't able to.

468
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 5: In this game.

469
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I saw CB sports. Excuse me, right after three

470
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 2: weeks of nail biers, the Knicks finally folded. They've had

471
00:19:57,800 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 2: a lot of close games, even that one on Friday

472
00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:02,920
Speaker 2: Night where Andrew Nemhart hits the grenade there that's thirty

473
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 2: one foot bomb where Alibron just gave it to him

474
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:06,440
Speaker 2: with like four seconds on the shot clock and he

475
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:08,440
Speaker 2: hit it and they pull out that victory. But all

476
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:12,200
Speaker 2: these close Knicks games, tasks obviously have had some impact

477
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:13,879
Speaker 2: maybe on these guys, and it caught up to them

478
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 2: there on Sunday when they just got blown out of

479
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:16,320
Speaker 2: the water.

480
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's why I also was ready to pull the

481
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:21,800
Speaker 5: plug in the first quarter because you see the starters

482
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:24,160
Speaker 5: go down like that and then you see the Pacers

483
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:27,439
Speaker 5: bench come out where TJ McConnell was awesome. You know,

484
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:29,160
Speaker 5: we always say that, but he did have a bad

485
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 5: game in Game three. It was a quiet one six

486
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 5: points one assists, and he bounced back with fifteen and ten.

487
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:37,360
Speaker 5: In this one. They were just getting them from everywhere.

488
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 5: The fast break points were monstrous in this one. They

489
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 5: just keep moving the ball and they were up forty

490
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:46,960
Speaker 5: three at one point in this game, so they just

491
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 5: really it really gave it to them. And yes, tips

492
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 5: pulled the plug in the early in the fourth, but

493
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:54,200
Speaker 5: I mean you could pull the plug in the third.

494
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 5: As you said, all those minutes for the starters. I

495
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:59,200
Speaker 5: guess that's a good thing. I guess when we see

496
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:01,480
Speaker 5: them come back. But the Pacers still haven't lost a

497
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:04,960
Speaker 5: game at home this postseason. They they cook at home.

498
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 5: You could see him, you could see. Did you see

499
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 5: some of those fans were like, I get out of here,

500
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:12,200
Speaker 5: get out of here. To some of those Knicks players,

501
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:13,960
Speaker 5: they were ready to get him out. I was trying

502
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:14,199
Speaker 5: to do it.

503
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:14,920
Speaker 3: Well, they'll be back.

504
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:18,960
Speaker 5: I was trying to do in New York City accident.

505
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:20,680
Speaker 5: So yeah, it was bad. It was really bad.

506
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 3: I thought you were doing in Indiana.

507
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 5: I was. I went turned to Indiana. I'm like, oh yeah,

508
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:27,760
Speaker 5: I'm in Indiana. I'm an Indiana guy now. But it's

509
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 5: that I'm walking here, get out of here. Yeah. They

510
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 5: don't go together anyway.

511
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 2: So you're saying Pacers fans were doing a Knicks Oh yeah,

512
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:35,720
Speaker 2: you know New York.

513
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 5: As at least one of them was at least one

514
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:40,359
Speaker 5: of them I did. I did a John Boy reading.

515
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:42,960
Speaker 5: I couldn't hear them, but I know that's what they

516
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:48,200
Speaker 5: were doing. Pretty sure. This was a book. It was strictly.

517
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:50,240
Speaker 2: The Pacers done everything well they obviously shot the three

518
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:52,359
Speaker 2: ball well fourteen to thirty one. Knicks went seven to

519
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:54,920
Speaker 2: thirty seven. New York has been one of the best

520
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 2: three point shooting teams in the entire postseason. They were

521
00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:59,119
Speaker 2: shooting like forty percent from distance, so they had a

522
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:01,439
Speaker 2: really bad game. And then the Pacers to win the

523
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:04,440
Speaker 2: rebounding battle in Game four, fifty two to forty three. Again,

524
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:06,240
Speaker 2: that's a nixt thing. Now they're missing a bunch of guys.

525
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:08,479
Speaker 2: They're missing a bunch of bigs, but you know, they

526
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:11,320
Speaker 2: led the NBA in rebounding rate in the regular season.

527
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 2: They had done good jobs on the boards through the

528
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 2: first three games, and this one the Pacers got it done.

529
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:18,159
Speaker 2: And then you already said it tk the pace that

530
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:21,439
Speaker 2: was Pacers play that fast break. I think it was

531
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:24,120
Speaker 2: twenty two to five for Indiana. And we had seen

532
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 2: the Knicks like they had been playing that type of

533
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:29,359
Speaker 2: game through a couple of these first three games. They

534
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:31,840
Speaker 2: seemed okay with it. They really went forward in Game three,

535
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 2: obviously leaning into the heavy minutes on their guys, but

536
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 2: right from the jump, it was just it was over

537
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:38,679
Speaker 2: and heartbeat. This game really was. It was like, oh,

538
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:40,159
Speaker 2: it's a nice day out here in Atlanta. You can

539
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:42,600
Speaker 2: probably go outside for the second half if you want.

540
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 2: It doesn't feel like the Knicks are coming back in

541
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:47,400
Speaker 2: the third quarter, even though first athletes are fake.

542
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:51,360
Speaker 4: Not this one, not this one. They didn't have it.

543
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 7: It was an early start to like three point thirty

544
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:56,080
Speaker 7: after playing on what Friday night. You know, that's not

545
00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:58,480
Speaker 7: even forty eight hours of turnaround time, and you could

546
00:22:58,480 --> 00:22:58,959
Speaker 7: just feel it.

547
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:02,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, every game in this series feels like a new series.

548
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 5: And I wonder if it's better to get blown out

549
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:08,400
Speaker 5: for the Knicks just to number one, get a little

550
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:11,280
Speaker 5: bit of rest, but also just be ready. You know

551
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:15,000
Speaker 5: how teams perform after getting blown out, and obviously going

552
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:17,840
Speaker 5: back to New York, they should feel a heck of

553
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:18,400
Speaker 5: a lot better.

554
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:21,960
Speaker 2: We call crowds like the sixth man. They actually have

555
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:24,040
Speaker 2: to be the sixth man for the Knicks, this depleted

556
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:25,679
Speaker 2: Knicks team, and I think they will. I mean, they

557
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:28,439
Speaker 2: give them something there. Brunson was horrible in Indiana too,

558
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:31,560
Speaker 2: by the way, sixteen to forty three, two of eleven

559
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 2: from three. Now, some of that was the switch up

560
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:34,399
Speaker 2: from what the Pacers did.

561
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:34,600
Speaker 3: Right.

562
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:36,880
Speaker 2: Nie Smith more size on him did a great job,

563
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:39,240
Speaker 2: especially in Game three on him and then they continued

564
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 2: to slow him. So he's we know he's injured too.

565
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:44,879
Speaker 2: It's the foot is not one hundred percent, but it

566
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:45,920
Speaker 2: was to play better.

567
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:48,200
Speaker 5: Also, just off it looked a little bit more like

568
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:50,760
Speaker 5: the first two games against Philadelphia, where his first couple

569
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:53,000
Speaker 5: shots were long and then the rest of them were short.

570
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 5: To something a little bit off. Nie Smith obviously helped

571
00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:56,479
Speaker 5: more size.

572
00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 3: I mean he figured out that sixer series as.

573
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 5: It went on. You're a little bit yeah. But also

574
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:03,920
Speaker 5: the only thing I really worry about for the Knicks

575
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 5: is Hartenstein went down hard on his shoulders, and they

576
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 5: need him because he's back. There are other centers gone

577
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:14,160
Speaker 5: in Mitchell Robinson, and he will play. But they did

578
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:16,800
Speaker 5: do some memorize they were negative some X rays, I

579
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:21,840
Speaker 5: should say. So it's a new series, the best two

580
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:23,439
Speaker 5: or three. Here we go.

581
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:25,800
Speaker 2: Hey, they might need Og. We don't know his status.

582
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 2: I guess for for.

583
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:29,200
Speaker 4: Game running in water, that guy's not gonna play this.

584
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:30,240
Speaker 3: Year's running in water.

585
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 4: Yes, that's what they said on the hoop of today.

586
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:36,160
Speaker 3: Okay, water, it's not probably a good sign.

587
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:38,720
Speaker 4: No, you play on land.

588
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:41,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'd like to see a game in the water

589
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:42,720
Speaker 2: would be great.

590
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:46,399
Speaker 7: Water pool basketball is the second best sport after regular

591
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 7: Basketbool never play and never dribble.

592
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:49,959
Speaker 3: That's interesting.

593
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:52,760
Speaker 7: You think it's trampoline basketball easily.

594
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:54,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not disagreeing.

595
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:55,880
Speaker 4: There more worried of a.

596
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:58,639
Speaker 7: Broken leg and trampoline basketball than an accidental drowning in

597
00:24:58,680 --> 00:24:59,360
Speaker 7: pool basketball.

598
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:02,320
Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah, I also like it more. You can't get

599
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:05,080
Speaker 5: injured as much. That's what that's what they're doing with

600
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:07,520
Speaker 5: oj No because hamstring hurts. Yeah, so I guess they're

601
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:10,960
Speaker 5: running water. Cardio is still up, the heart's still pumping,

602
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:13,680
Speaker 5: but nothing going on with that's anyone.

603
00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:15,440
Speaker 2: Ready to I mean, if OG's not playing, these guys

604
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:17,199
Speaker 2: are all banged up. They just continue to get more

605
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 2: and more injuries, like you said to Hart and nine bruns,

606
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:21,639
Speaker 2: and it's not getting healthier. Have the Pacers? Can the

607
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:24,440
Speaker 2: Pacers pull this off and win this series? Would would

608
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:26,000
Speaker 2: you change your pick? Most of us were Knicks. I

609
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 2: believe in a longer series, but what do you think.

610
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 4: We're all Knicks?

611
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:31,480
Speaker 7: Yeah, Pacers can win this series. But I would still

612
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:33,080
Speaker 7: be confident in the Necks. I think they're gonna play

613
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:34,720
Speaker 7: their best game in Game Fiveve.

614
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:38,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm expecting a Heart and de Vincenzo bounce back games.

615
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 5: I got the Knicks. Okay, who are you.

616
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:41,960
Speaker 3: Taking Pivotal Game five?

617
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 2: No, I'll still do Knicks, but look, I like to

618
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:48,879
Speaker 2: switch up Slan Dana has done most of.

619
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 3: The role players always play better at home. We'll see

620
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:53,720
Speaker 3: if that. Yeah, can can they do it in Madison Square?

621
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:56,040
Speaker 2: Gun? I truly believe like the fans are almost a

622
00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:58,720
Speaker 2: player for this team, the way they're so banged up

623
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:01,200
Speaker 2: and how great that building is. Can't wait for Pivotal

624
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:01,880
Speaker 2: Game five though we.

625
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:04,160
Speaker 4: Had gone to a couple of games already, yet.

626
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 2: The rest exactly exactly, Let's go to Saturday's games. This

627
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:10,639
Speaker 2: was an awesome playoff game. I thought Game three between

628
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:14,159
Speaker 2: the Thunder and MAVs Kyrie coming through in the clutch

629
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:16,960
Speaker 2: helping the MAVs hold off. Okay, see they take the

630
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:20,480
Speaker 2: two to one lead in their Western Conference semifinals match up. Again,

631
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 2: this was awesome. It was back and forth affair for

632
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:25,879
Speaker 2: like forty eight minutes. I thought both teams were giving

633
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:29,360
Speaker 2: it there all. We obviously have the dort Luca matchup,

634
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:32,600
Speaker 2: which is just a battle, but they pull it out

635
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:34,720
Speaker 2: in the victory. What do you thought of the Saturday

636
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 2: victory here for Dallas.

637
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:38,919
Speaker 5: Well, the MAVs can win without their greats, you know,

638
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:42,399
Speaker 5: leading their team and scoring again. PJ. Washington was awesome.

639
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:43,359
Speaker 4: This guy's on fire.

640
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 5: He is leading his team with twenty seven and he

641
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:50,119
Speaker 5: kept that game two flow going early at eleven points

642
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:53,439
Speaker 5: in the first quarter, cashing in on every chance. He

643
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 5: hit two lefty hooks. They're kind of pushy hookie shots.

644
00:26:57,680 --> 00:26:58,880
Speaker 5: PJ Washington of all.

645
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:02,119
Speaker 3: People started the game with the yeah a semi poster,

646
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:03,080
Speaker 3: he was out of nowhere.

647
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:07,320
Speaker 5: And then Kyrie the game winner was a lefty push

648
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:09,840
Speaker 5: shot hook shot. The Maps are a lefty team. I

649
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:12,400
Speaker 5: don't know how, but somebody's got to create it. I mean,

650
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:15,239
Speaker 5: this was fun. And what was really interesting in that

651
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:19,440
Speaker 5: fourth quarter where okay See and dag Not start fouling

652
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:22,760
Speaker 5: Derek Lively on purpose. Just send send him to the line,

653
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:25,280
Speaker 5: the rook is he going to be able to perform?

654
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 5: He goes one of four in the first two attempts,

655
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 5: you know, two tries to go to the line. That's

656
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 5: when Jason Kidd sits him on the bench. Just take

657
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:35,159
Speaker 5: a breather, Frian, and he puts him right back in

658
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:36,440
Speaker 5: and then he hit, says next.

659
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:42,760
Speaker 4: Four it was huge.

660
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:46,359
Speaker 5: That's why they tanked last season to be able to

661
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:49,200
Speaker 5: go get this guy and he came through. I don't

662
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:53,480
Speaker 5: know how what what the the when a guy overcomes

663
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:56,040
Speaker 5: being hacked like that, like we went five to eight.

664
00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:59,119
Speaker 5: Is there a term for it? You know there was

665
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:01,240
Speaker 5: a hacked Lively. The only thing I got is like,

666
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:04,679
Speaker 5: it's not good. But in this situation where the maps

667
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:08,720
Speaker 5: have come back because come from this after tanking last

668
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 5: season to get this guy, it spanked the tank. It's

669
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:13,359
Speaker 5: not that good. It's not I don't know. I don't

670
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 5: know how what a rebuttal for hack a hacket's usually

671
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:20,119
Speaker 5: come through on that yea hacking, Yeah, I don't know.

672
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:22,760
Speaker 2: We could come up with something for sure, throw it

673
00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:24,080
Speaker 2: out everybody on the stream team or.

674
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:29,639
Speaker 4: But next season three now available on Max Great series.

675
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:31,960
Speaker 2: I did like with Lively when they were trying to

676
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:34,040
Speaker 2: do hack a live lad he was just literally running

677
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:37,800
Speaker 2: away the.

678
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 7: Chat with his arms out straight, chasing him like a Frankenstein.

679
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:41,680
Speaker 4: Catch him through.

680
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:44,640
Speaker 2: But yeah, it was ballsy a kid to put him

681
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:45,600
Speaker 2: back in totally.

682
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 4: Yeah.

683
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:47,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, like, hey man, you got to go in there

684
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:49,560
Speaker 2: and hit free throws. They're gonna do it, there's time left,

685
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:52,040
Speaker 2: and he did. Yeah, so then they had to basically

686
00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 2: stop doing it to that point.

687
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, but pretty impressive for Lively.

688
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 7: I thought he played great in this game, despite the

689
00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:58,920
Speaker 7: fact that he couldn't make some of the free throws

690
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:01,960
Speaker 7: and just can't score at the rim, like two for

691
00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:04,840
Speaker 7: eight I think in this one. But big time on

692
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:07,520
Speaker 7: the glass, big time at the rim. He closed this

693
00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:09,920
Speaker 7: for Daniel Gafford even though he was getting hacked and

694
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:12,720
Speaker 7: chased down by chet. MAVs just made a whole bunch

695
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:15,320
Speaker 7: of little plays that added up to the win. Like

696
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:18,840
Speaker 7: there was a turnover. Kyrie Irving has they try and

697
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 7: throw the thunder thrown outlet pass, but Lucas.

698
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 4: Steals at half court.

699
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:24,840
Speaker 7: He gets an easy lay up with about two fifteen left,

700
00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 7: then gets mixed up in a jump ball Luca does

701
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:31,080
Speaker 7: with who was it Jalen Williams. Maybe weird call, weird

702
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:32,840
Speaker 7: call that it was a jump ball. Fortunate for the

703
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:35,880
Speaker 7: MAVs though, because Luca wins the jump ball. That was

704
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:38,000
Speaker 7: a big time clutch play from Luca to come up

705
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:40,160
Speaker 7: with the steal at half court to win the jump ball,

706
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:43,200
Speaker 7: and then Kyrie comes through with a lefty runner like

707
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:46,600
Speaker 7: great defense from Jalen Williams, better offense from Kyrie exactly.

708
00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:49,520
Speaker 7: They scored forty four points combined Kyrie and Luca in

709
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:52,000
Speaker 7: game three, got the win. Game two, they combined for

710
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 7: thirty eight points, got the win. What happens when these

711
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:55,040
Speaker 7: guys play well?

712
00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:56,400
Speaker 3: Yeah?

713
00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:58,880
Speaker 2: And when if when if they play well, I mean

714
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:01,040
Speaker 2: they're doing a great job. Defense, especially doored on Luca,

715
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:02,880
Speaker 2: is making it not making it easy.

716
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:04,080
Speaker 3: Will PJ.

717
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:06,520
Speaker 2: Washington continue to score twenty five plus boinds like this

718
00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:08,800
Speaker 2: guy can't miss threes right now? He had another five

719
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:12,520
Speaker 2: in game three. He's on fire. I mean, it's sort

720
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:14,120
Speaker 2: of got to be your game plan a little bit

721
00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:15,920
Speaker 2: like somebody you gotta leave open out there. But he

722
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:18,640
Speaker 2: is cashing in and yeah, Kyrie again just coming to

723
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:20,560
Speaker 2: live in the second half, finished with twenty two points,

724
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:23,920
Speaker 2: five boards. But that was a pretty shot. I thought

725
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:25,520
Speaker 2: the exact same thing TK. I was like, I'm not

726
00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:27,600
Speaker 2: sure he could play it any better. That was great.

727
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:30,960
Speaker 2: That was great defense. Better roll will always beat great

728
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:33,560
Speaker 2: d And that was just like a perfect illustration of

729
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:35,760
Speaker 2: that awesome game. Though I was hype watching this game,

730
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 2: I just thought it was so fun I can't wait

731
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:40,080
Speaker 2: for game four, and we did see. My other note

732
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:43,280
Speaker 2: was like all season long, right, we're like, ah, what's

733
00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:47,160
Speaker 2: the Okayc's Thunder's one weakness? Probably they're rebounding, you know,

734
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:50,440
Speaker 2: they're they're short on big guys. And for the most part,

735
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:52,600
Speaker 2: it hadn't been a problem like in the regular season.

736
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 2: Obviously they had number one seed in the first round.

737
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:57,520
Speaker 2: Not really an issue even through first couple of games.

738
00:30:57,560 --> 00:30:59,680
Speaker 2: Wasn't that big a deal. Game three, you know, we

739
00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:03,479
Speaker 2: had a one point. The MAVs had fifteen offensive rebounds

740
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 2: to Okse's one at one point in this game. They

741
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:07,160
Speaker 2: sort of made it up a little bit later, but

742
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:11,520
Speaker 2: like e bats where like they got punished in a

743
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:14,280
Speaker 2: very close game. Those obviously matters. So we'll see if

744
00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 2: they can shore that up in game four.

745
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:18,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, I just gotta work for it a little bit

746
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:21,080
Speaker 5: harder and boxed out a little bit harder. That would

747
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:23,280
Speaker 5: seem to be the problem. They just couldn't score coming

748
00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:25,320
Speaker 5: down the stretch. Really, what it came down to it

749
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:28,000
Speaker 5: this was a close game. It was a three point game.

750
00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:32,320
Speaker 5: When you mentioned that Isaiah Joe turnover when he got

751
00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:34,320
Speaker 5: a beautiful steal, it's a three point game, two to

752
00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:37,520
Speaker 5: fifteen left. He goes behind his back, beautiful dribble up

753
00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:39,920
Speaker 5: the court, but he didn't see Luca or just this

754
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:41,960
Speaker 5: was a three on two basically, and he kind of

755
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,640
Speaker 5: threw it ahead and that would have been totally different

756
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:48,000
Speaker 5: if it's a one point game. But yeah, Luca gets that.

757
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:50,720
Speaker 2: Luca read it, read it, and he jumped on it,

758
00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:52,560
Speaker 2: and yeah it was an easy steal, but it was

759
00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:55,240
Speaker 2: a big, big play and Sga who had a great game,

760
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:59,400
Speaker 2: like overall, but rough fourth quarter turnovers were there. I

761
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:02,400
Speaker 2: think he went one for six and the fourth he did.

762
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:04,320
Speaker 2: You know, he was carrying them for a good portion

763
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:07,520
Speaker 2: of this game once again, Yeah.

764
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:09,800
Speaker 3: Exactly, that's what he does. Thirty one points. The giddy

765
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:13,440
Speaker 3: we debated last week. You know what will they do?

766
00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:15,520
Speaker 2: Will they bench him? You're saying no, they're probably gonna

767
00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:18,239
Speaker 2: keep starting them. They did not that it went all

768
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:21,280
Speaker 2: that well. Still, and you wonder will dagnat will he

769
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:22,480
Speaker 2: like then? Bad?

770
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:24,640
Speaker 4: This was his best game. It was his best game

771
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:25,400
Speaker 4: minus one.

772
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:29,760
Speaker 7: Right, I guess better than the offense is bad, Like

773
00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:31,560
Speaker 7: we know we can't play offense. The bad part is

774
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:33,640
Speaker 7: that they score on him every time, right, defensively and

775
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:36,120
Speaker 7: he's not helping on the glass. So I don't really

776
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:38,520
Speaker 7: know what's the point of it except for keeping him

777
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:39,240
Speaker 7: mentally in it.

778
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:40,600
Speaker 4: Like guess what, he's not going to.

779
00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:43,479
Speaker 7: Be part of this team going forward, Like they'll trade him.

780
00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:46,360
Speaker 7: It makes sense to trade him when he doesn't fit. Yeah,

781
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:48,680
Speaker 7: I think I want to kill his trade trade value either.

782
00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:51,080
Speaker 7: You know, they guy get those picks back, but they

783
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:53,520
Speaker 7: I mean they're trying everything they can. Let him come

784
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:55,080
Speaker 7: off the bench, let him be the point guard off

785
00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:56,880
Speaker 7: the bench, but they don't trust him because they would

786
00:32:56,920 --> 00:32:58,080
Speaker 7: rather have Jalen Williams have the ball.

787
00:32:58,160 --> 00:32:58,760
Speaker 4: Understandably.

788
00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:02,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, he made a few mistakes. I mean he scored

789
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:05,680
Speaker 5: nine in his thirteen minutes. He did things well, hit

790
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:08,440
Speaker 5: one three, Yeah he did. But there's other guys that

791
00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:11,000
Speaker 5: didn't come through. I mean Aaron Wiggins had a terrible

792
00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:12,480
Speaker 5: turnover where he threw the ball out of bounds. I

793
00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:15,120
Speaker 5: would be more worried about Gordon Hayward's three minutes that

794
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:17,840
Speaker 5: he's now playing. They just have to yank him out

795
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:20,720
Speaker 5: of the rotation entirely. What are we waiting for because

796
00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:21,840
Speaker 5: he can't he can't score.

797
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:26,320
Speaker 4: I did the math. Gordon Hayward hasn't scored yet this playoffs. No,

798
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:27,360
Speaker 4: he's played forty.

799
00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:30,280
Speaker 7: Six minutes, twenty two minutes away from the most playoff

800
00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:34,760
Speaker 7: minutes all time without scoring. John Hummer played sixty eight

801
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:37,440
Speaker 7: minutes for the seventy four to seventy five SuperSonics.

802
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:47,640
Speaker 4: The hud Hummer John Hummer. Jeez wow, Jehn Hummer looking man,

803
00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:49,080
Speaker 4: I bet he's white.

804
00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:52,760
Speaker 5: Just cassing get a Hummer to show up to the

805
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:55,959
Speaker 5: arena and put Gordon Hayward in it. Get him out

806
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:59,000
Speaker 5: of there. There's no reason he should be playing second.

807
00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:05,120
Speaker 7: This guy became a venture capitalists rich.

808
00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:07,960
Speaker 5: He helped Mark Laurie and Alex Rodriguez invest in the

809
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:11,800
Speaker 5: Minnesota Timberwolves. Who is this guy? Is he alive?

810
00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:13,800
Speaker 4: He's alive.

811
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:16,240
Speaker 7: He's seventy six years old.

812
00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:16,560
Speaker 5: Did it?

813
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:18,480
Speaker 4: He's an ivy leaguer.

814
00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:20,839
Speaker 7: Seems to be a smart guy who's had a lot

815
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:22,200
Speaker 7: more success away from the court.

816
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:23,160
Speaker 4: That's what I can tell you.

817
00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:26,359
Speaker 3: Maybe maybe that's in Gordon Hayward's future as well.

818
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, I will say. I will say, like the Luca

819
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:32,800
Speaker 5: Shay thing was fun. In the fourth quarter, Shay drove

820
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:35,920
Speaker 5: into Luca, Luca hit the floor. Was trying to draw

821
00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:39,040
Speaker 5: a charge. He gets up and after the play is over,

822
00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:40,400
Speaker 5: Shay's talking a little trash.

823
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:40,600
Speaker 3: Team.

824
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:43,000
Speaker 5: Come on, man, that was a flop, total flop. So

825
00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:46,000
Speaker 5: they're talking a little bit of trash together. They met before,

826
00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:48,880
Speaker 5: I think game three, when Shay had on that Beije outfit.

827
00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:50,960
Speaker 5: Luca saw him in the hallway. They're boys and they

828
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:54,840
Speaker 5: talked trash to each other, so that's fun. Luca played

829
00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:58,279
Speaker 5: d hard enough, I thought. The next play he got

830
00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:00,160
Speaker 5: in Shay's way and then he got in doors way,

831
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:03,000
Speaker 5: like he is playing hard on that end and doing enough,

832
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:06,520
Speaker 5: just doing enough. He scored this twenty nine in game three,

833
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:09,759
Speaker 5: excuse me game two to win that game. Didn't have

834
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:11,720
Speaker 5: a big scoring night in this game, but just doing

835
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:14,240
Speaker 5: it enough. This team, they're scrapping. Everybody's scrapped.

836
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:14,680
Speaker 4: Yep.

837
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:20,080
Speaker 2: The final game from the weekend was the Celtics Calves.

838
00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:22,719
Speaker 2: We had Jason Tatum started getting unlocked a little bit.

839
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:25,120
Speaker 2: He scored thirty three. Jaellen Brown was once again awesome,

840
00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:27,440
Speaker 2: but the Celtics rebound from their loss to beat the

841
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:31,800
Speaker 2: Calves one oh six ninety three. Trey Kirby, any takeaways

842
00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:32,600
Speaker 2: from game three.

843
00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:34,360
Speaker 7: Here you mentioned I think This is the best Tatum

844
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:36,200
Speaker 7: game we've seen so far in the playoffs.

845
00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:36,960
Speaker 4: Thirty three points.

846
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:38,840
Speaker 7: Only won eleven of twenty five from the field, but

847
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:40,600
Speaker 7: a lot of that is because his jumper's just broken

848
00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:43,759
Speaker 7: right now. Two for eight from three. But Tatum took

849
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:46,560
Speaker 7: nine free throws, which was huge. He had seven shots

850
00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:48,880
Speaker 7: at the rim, layups or dunks. He was flexing.

851
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:50,600
Speaker 4: You know, he's like, I'm a big strong guy. He

852
00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:51,520
Speaker 4: is a big strong guy.

853
00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:54,080
Speaker 7: He should be able to score inside against the Calves,

854
00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:56,480
Speaker 7: and in Game three he made it a point I thought,

855
00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:59,279
Speaker 7: to get inside. The Celtics scored fifty points in the paint.

856
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:01,520
Speaker 7: That's the most they've had so far this series. They

857
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:04,640
Speaker 7: were also great getting out in transition twelve to eight

858
00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:07,680
Speaker 7: on the fast break points, and they hit enough threes thirteen.

859
00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:10,160
Speaker 4: Didn't get out shot by the Cavs, who made twelve

860
00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:11,000
Speaker 4: threes as well.

861
00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:13,880
Speaker 7: So a solid win from the Celtics. That looks a

862
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:16,319
Speaker 7: little closer than it was. You know, ye got it

863
00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:17,839
Speaker 7: back in the end, but this was a twenty point

864
00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:21,000
Speaker 7: game basically going into the fourth quarter. A good response

865
00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:23,200
Speaker 7: I thought from Boston after the way they went down

866
00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:24,440
Speaker 7: in Game two.

867
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:27,440
Speaker 5: The best Tatum game of his playoffs. You're right. The

868
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:30,239
Speaker 5: best game for Drew Holiday as well. Oh yeah, he

869
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:33,319
Speaker 5: was scoring at the rim, going hard, lefty hook for

870
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:36,840
Speaker 5: Drew Holiday, taking that at Evan Mobley, going on Lavert.

871
00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:39,839
Speaker 5: He's scoring on everybody. But you know the combination we're

872
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:43,400
Speaker 5: talking about multiple good players like the champs that they

873
00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:45,960
Speaker 5: could be seeing in the NBA Finals. They got it

874
00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:49,680
Speaker 5: from everybody in this game. They really did performances from

875
00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:52,200
Speaker 5: their top four with no Porzingis and Holiday, Tatum, I

876
00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:54,960
Speaker 5: thought Jalen Brown was good and Derek White. Yeah, they

877
00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:59,520
Speaker 5: all hit multiple threes. And it was cool to see

878
00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:03,840
Speaker 5: Jayalen bred as the second quarter man. Usually in past postseasons,

879
00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:06,920
Speaker 5: he's the let's get this thing going guy in the

880
00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:09,799
Speaker 5: first quarter, but he was the second quarter guy, so

881
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:12,400
Speaker 5: they change it up. It is that team like we

882
00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:14,799
Speaker 5: talk about the Denver Nuggets, where Aaron Gordon can be

883
00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:16,839
Speaker 5: awesome and this guy can be awesome. This guy can

884
00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:19,480
Speaker 5: be awesome. They have everybody. They were just good in

885
00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:23,160
Speaker 5: transition and assertive, which is where they had their their

886
00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:26,080
Speaker 5: farts in Game two where they weren't themselves, right, Yeah,

887
00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:27,040
Speaker 5: they just weren't themselves.

888
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:28,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, and they even said it after the game, Jill Brown,

889
00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:31,520
Speaker 2: I love this quote. Quote, we don't come to Cleveland

890
00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:35,560
Speaker 2: for the weather, so let's go. There's nothing complicated about it.

891
00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:37,880
Speaker 2: Play defense, and the rest will take care of itself.

892
00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:39,960
Speaker 2: I'm sure it was a nice day in Cleveland.

893
00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:42,320
Speaker 5: That's what he's saying. Like he said, the game is

894
00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:43,480
Speaker 5: as quick as Polis.

895
00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:44,719
Speaker 2: Just saying, we don't come here for the weather. We

896
00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:47,640
Speaker 2: come here to play basketball. Let's go, let's play defense,

897
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:49,640
Speaker 2: and they did. They opened the second half on a

898
00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:51,319
Speaker 2: fourteen to zero run. This is when the game sort

899
00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:53,839
Speaker 2: of ended. They took a twenty three point lead there.

900
00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:56,160
Speaker 2: So they came out of the halftime and put this

901
00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:58,319
Speaker 2: one away. And Drew Holliday I did write that down too. Yeah,

902
00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:02,680
Speaker 2: his best game eighteen points, five, eight boards. He had

903
00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:07,440
Speaker 2: been pretty underwhelming through Boston's first what seven games here

904
00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:10,279
Speaker 2: in the postseason. He was shooting thirty six percent overall,

905
00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:12,759
Speaker 2: thirty two from deep. He's averaging like eight points. And

906
00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:14,520
Speaker 2: now I know Drew Hawlly's not out there as your scorer.

907
00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:16,239
Speaker 2: You got Jalon Brown, you got Tatum, you got these

908
00:38:16,239 --> 00:38:18,200
Speaker 2: other guys. But you want a little bit more. And

909
00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:19,840
Speaker 2: we've talked about Drew Haliy in the past, like he

910
00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:22,480
Speaker 2: has these playoff moments where he like struggles to score

911
00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:24,439
Speaker 2: or shoot. So this was a really good game from him.

912
00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:27,799
Speaker 2: And then Cleveland Donovan Mitchell did his part. He hit

913
00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:30,279
Speaker 2: a bunch of threes, but nobody else could. The rest

914
00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:33,400
Speaker 2: of the Cavs shot five to twenty four from distance,

915
00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:36,680
Speaker 2: and so this is what got them their first loss

916
00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:37,920
Speaker 2: here in the postseason at home.

917
00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:40,000
Speaker 3: But we did see Dean Wade.

918
00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:41,120
Speaker 4: Dean Wade is back.

919
00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:43,280
Speaker 2: Kean Wade is back, his first game since early March.

920
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:46,399
Speaker 2: He played sixteen minutes. He was I believe a plus

921
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:48,840
Speaker 2: twelve in defeat, but five points, three boards, three assists.

922
00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:51,399
Speaker 2: But maybe that's good moving forward for Cleveland to try

923
00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:53,920
Speaker 2: and tie this up in Game four, which goes down tonight,

924
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:55,959
Speaker 2: because I don't know, I don't think we're seeing Jared

925
00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:58,600
Speaker 2: Allen at this point in this series. Who knows, but

926
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:00,000
Speaker 2: he's got a rib injury.

927
00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:03,160
Speaker 3: That's never good. So put on a.

928
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:06,520
Speaker 7: Flak jacket the layoffs, buddy, Dean Wade's out there.

929
00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:08,319
Speaker 2: It's so weird too, when you saw the play that

930
00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:11,040
Speaker 2: they thought it happened like, it looks so like nothing,

931
00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:14,520
Speaker 2: looks like barely like a little tap of an elbow

932
00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:16,120
Speaker 2: or like an arm on the rib.

933
00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:18,400
Speaker 4: But I don't know what this guy lungs the breathe

934
00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:21,240
Speaker 4: Iola Dean Wade.

935
00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:24,439
Speaker 7: Maybe he could start, yeah, because al Horford's just chilling

936
00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:26,440
Speaker 7: on Isaac acro out there a bad game for a

937
00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:28,960
Speaker 7: coral one for seven from the field, oh for four

938
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:31,160
Speaker 7: from three, and they're literally just using him as a

939
00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:33,920
Speaker 7: place for al Horford to rest. Because al Horford is

940
00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:36,120
Speaker 7: ancient at this point and he just played forty minutes

941
00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:37,919
Speaker 7: in the game. So if you have to make him

942
00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:40,400
Speaker 7: either guard mobiley, he's going to be moving around a

943
00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:42,400
Speaker 7: whole bunch more or Dean Wade, a guy who can

944
00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:44,879
Speaker 7: shoot it from outside and draws a little bit more

945
00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:48,160
Speaker 7: respect than a coro. I could see that happening. But

946
00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:50,839
Speaker 7: the guy just came back after basically two months on

947
00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:52,160
Speaker 7: the shelf. Is he going to be able to play

948
00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:53,560
Speaker 7: twenty five minutes? Who knows?

949
00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:57,319
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's he was key to their team. That was

950
00:39:57,560 --> 00:40:00,840
Speaker 5: awesome for that long during the regular season. He was monstrous.

951
00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:03,440
Speaker 5: I saw Jason Lloyd write about it on The Athletic.

952
00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:07,439
Speaker 5: Maybe we start Dean it would make sense, and Isaacaccorro

953
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:11,040
Speaker 5: just a loo in minutes For this one, he played

954
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:13,000
Speaker 5: seventeen minutes because Dean Wade was coming on for him

955
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:15,520
Speaker 5: and hitting shots and Carroselt off the bench coming shots. Yeah,

956
00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:16,920
Speaker 5: maybe you got to tighten it up a little bit

957
00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:19,680
Speaker 5: to hit threes, because this wasn't a blow up for

958
00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:21,640
Speaker 5: the Boston Celtics because they're hitting way more threes. They

959
00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:23,680
Speaker 5: only had one more three. But if you're gonna beat

960
00:40:23,719 --> 00:40:27,759
Speaker 5: this Boston Celtics team without the top end talent like

961
00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:31,080
Speaker 5: Boston has, it's probably gonna be splashing some threes.

962
00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:33,080
Speaker 3: Game four tonight.

963
00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:34,000
Speaker 5: Can't wait?

964
00:40:34,160 --> 00:40:37,839
Speaker 2: All right, let's get to the NBA Draft Lottery. This

965
00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:39,640
Speaker 2: happened on Sunday, Yes it did.

966
00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:40,640
Speaker 3: It was a little weird.

967
00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:43,520
Speaker 2: I can't say I was a fan of it in

968
00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:48,200
Speaker 2: the Sunday Afternoon spot. Why. I don't know, especially I

969
00:40:48,239 --> 00:40:50,360
Speaker 2: guess on Mother's Day. I'm sure you guys are doing things,

970
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:51,560
Speaker 2: or maybe you weren't.

971
00:40:51,560 --> 00:40:54,719
Speaker 3: Maybe had some brunches. Any Taylor Swift concerts you're going to.

972
00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:55,440
Speaker 3: I don't know.

973
00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:58,200
Speaker 7: Now the draft lottery is bigger than Mother's Day. In art, well,

974
00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:01,560
Speaker 7: interesting because ping pong balls.

975
00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:04,600
Speaker 5: I did turn it on and then Danielle said, what

976
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:07,600
Speaker 5: is that? And I said, don't worry, I'm turning it off.

977
00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:11,960
Speaker 5: We left. We were going somewhere good fifteen.

978
00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:13,720
Speaker 3: Seconds, okay, good, Well, let me tell you what happened.

979
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:15,920
Speaker 5: Took them a while to get into it.

980
00:41:15,680 --> 00:41:20,240
Speaker 2: What a shock anyway, The Atlanta Hawks kaka super kacas

981
00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:23,520
Speaker 2: all around. The Hawks rocketed up the board to grab

982
00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:26,359
Speaker 2: the number one pick in this year's NBA Draft. They

983
00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:28,840
Speaker 2: won the lottery for the first time in their franchise history.

984
00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:32,759
Speaker 2: Hawks had just a three percent chance to win this thing,

985
00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:35,279
Speaker 2: the fifth lowest odds by a team to win the

986
00:41:35,360 --> 00:41:38,080
Speaker 2: number one pick since the lottery began in eighty five.

987
00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:41,320
Speaker 2: And you see it there on YouTube. Hawks won Wizards

988
00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:46,000
Speaker 2: to Rockets three. That's by way of the Nets Spurs four,

989
00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:48,120
Speaker 2: and then the rest of the teams that are pour

990
00:41:48,239 --> 00:41:52,280
Speaker 2: Pistons once again having the number five pick. The Pistons

991
00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:55,280
Speaker 2: won seventeen games two seasons ago, fourteen games this season,

992
00:41:55,640 --> 00:41:58,080
Speaker 2: and they're going back to back with the number five

993
00:41:58,120 --> 00:42:04,040
Speaker 2: picks in a row, right, yeah, yeah, oh yeah. This

994
00:42:04,200 --> 00:42:06,880
Speaker 2: year marks the sixth straight season which the team with

995
00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:10,600
Speaker 2: the worst record did not select first overall, coinciding with

996
00:42:10,640 --> 00:42:12,960
Speaker 2: the new lottery format. There with the new odds and

997
00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:16,600
Speaker 2: all that which began twenty nineteen. But anyway, your thoughts

998
00:42:16,640 --> 00:42:19,920
Speaker 2: on the draft lottery, big winners, big losers, wherever you

999
00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:20,560
Speaker 2: want to go with it.

1000
00:42:21,040 --> 00:42:23,120
Speaker 7: Well, I was happy that the Hawks got the number

1001
00:42:23,160 --> 00:42:25,279
Speaker 7: one pick. Maybe not as happy as Landry.

1002
00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:28,640
Speaker 4: Fields, who was cheesing ear to shear when he found

1003
00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:30,440
Speaker 4: out he was moving into the top four. Like what

1004
00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:33,480
Speaker 4: nobody finally gets the number one?

1005
00:42:33,680 --> 00:42:36,440
Speaker 7: Buddy, Big summer for this guy, because wow, do the

1006
00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:39,080
Speaker 7: Hawks have some options here? Yep, we knew that they

1007
00:42:39,080 --> 00:42:40,920
Speaker 7: were going to be an active team coming into the

1008
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:44,200
Speaker 7: summer regardless. Maybe Trey Young is heading out, maybe de

1009
00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:47,400
Speaker 7: Jontay Murray is heading out. They've got a lot of

1010
00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:51,200
Speaker 7: other pieces that could go, whether it be Capella or

1011
00:42:51,239 --> 00:42:54,680
Speaker 7: a congru You know, Bogdanovic is kind of a superpose

1012
00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:57,040
Speaker 7: player as well. DeAndre Hunter. I'm sure they would love

1013
00:42:57,520 --> 00:42:59,759
Speaker 7: to move on from. And now they're throwing the number

1014
00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:02,400
Speaker 7: one into the mix. It's like, are they gonna trade

1015
00:43:02,560 --> 00:43:04,759
Speaker 7: the number one pick in one of their guards to

1016
00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:06,760
Speaker 7: bring in a player and build around the other guard?

1017
00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:08,919
Speaker 7: Are they going to keep the number one pick, trade

1018
00:43:08,920 --> 00:43:11,040
Speaker 7: both the guards, try and bring in some more picks

1019
00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:13,960
Speaker 7: and full on rebuild mode. That lets you extend your

1020
00:43:14,040 --> 00:43:16,480
Speaker 7: job security for a long long time. If you do that,

1021
00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:19,359
Speaker 7: are they gonna keep both the Guards, draft whoever at

1022
00:43:19,440 --> 00:43:21,560
Speaker 7: number one and try and build around those guys. Since

1023
00:43:21,840 --> 00:43:25,799
Speaker 7: the potential number one pick Alex Sar brings it defensively

1024
00:43:25,840 --> 00:43:28,680
Speaker 7: more so than the offensive end, and obviously that's something

1025
00:43:28,719 --> 00:43:30,799
Speaker 7: that the Hawks need to work on. There's a lot

1026
00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:32,960
Speaker 7: of things to do, and I think the Hawks getting

1027
00:43:33,040 --> 00:43:37,400
Speaker 7: number one, alongside the Rockets getting up to three and

1028
00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:39,880
Speaker 7: the Pistons getting up to five in a bad draft,

1029
00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:41,920
Speaker 7: it feels like there's gonna be a ton of trades,

1030
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:45,360
Speaker 7: right because do the Pistons want another fifth pick.

1031
00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:47,200
Speaker 4: Or do they actually want to be good next season?

1032
00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:49,399
Speaker 7: Do the Rockets need to draft third again or would

1033
00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:51,040
Speaker 7: they like to bring in the vet to help them

1034
00:43:51,080 --> 00:43:51,960
Speaker 7: get to the playoffs?

1035
00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:52,520
Speaker 4: Who knows.

1036
00:43:52,520 --> 00:43:54,840
Speaker 7: It feels like we're gonna have a lot of motion

1037
00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:56,239
Speaker 7: around the draft this season.

1038
00:43:56,280 --> 00:43:56,440
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1039
00:43:56,440 --> 00:43:58,399
Speaker 2: I think even Woosh was saying the Rockets may look

1040
00:43:58,440 --> 00:44:00,839
Speaker 2: to move that number three pick on another young guy.

1041
00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:02,239
Speaker 3: Could they get another VET guy?

1042
00:44:02,480 --> 00:44:04,440
Speaker 2: But then it's the problem is because there is no

1043
00:44:04,480 --> 00:44:07,399
Speaker 2: consensus franchise changing guy in this draft, Everyone's like, well,

1044
00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:09,120
Speaker 2: what could you even get in return for some of

1045
00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:11,640
Speaker 2: these picks, like you hear from the experts that are

1046
00:44:11,640 --> 00:44:14,680
Speaker 2: like not a lot Like you might get like the

1047
00:44:14,719 --> 00:44:16,719
Speaker 2: fifth or sixth best player on a team for one

1048
00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:19,600
Speaker 2: of these high lottery picks, which sounds crazy, but maybe

1049
00:44:19,600 --> 00:44:22,600
Speaker 2: that's the case. Any thoughts on the lottery here or

1050
00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:23,640
Speaker 2: what the Hawks should.

1051
00:44:23,360 --> 00:44:24,359
Speaker 3: Do or what you think they'll do.

1052
00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:28,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, I definitely think the Rockets will trade their pick.

1053
00:44:28,360 --> 00:44:30,759
Speaker 5: I mean, they got Cam Whitmore yet last year. I

1054
00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:32,640
Speaker 5: just I just don't know if they keep drafting players

1055
00:44:32,680 --> 00:44:34,680
Speaker 5: after being a forty one and forty one win team.

1056
00:44:34,719 --> 00:44:37,719
Speaker 5: But I say that and I think about that. I

1057
00:44:37,719 --> 00:44:40,759
Speaker 5: think that for basically every team, because it feels like

1058
00:44:40,800 --> 00:44:42,880
Speaker 5: at this time of year after the draft lottery, we

1059
00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:46,200
Speaker 5: all think, Wow, that team's gonna do some stuff, that

1060
00:44:46,200 --> 00:44:49,120
Speaker 5: team's gonna make trades, and then it really never ends

1061
00:44:49,200 --> 00:44:51,560
Speaker 5: up happening. We just see like a couple will happen,

1062
00:44:52,280 --> 00:44:55,759
Speaker 5: and maybe somebody just in some front office feels like, oh,

1063
00:44:55,760 --> 00:44:58,000
Speaker 5: that guy, I think that guy's going to be the guy.

1064
00:44:58,280 --> 00:45:00,680
Speaker 5: Let's get the number six pick. Let's go get that guy.

1065
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:05,640
Speaker 5: So to be determined obviously excited for the Hawks that

1066
00:45:05,719 --> 00:45:08,440
Speaker 5: they may go and what direction. I don't know.

1067
00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:11,280
Speaker 2: I feel like you were the only people except the Hawks.

1068
00:45:11,400 --> 00:45:13,120
Speaker 2: It felt like the Hawks won this draft letter and

1069
00:45:13,120 --> 00:45:14,680
Speaker 2: people were just shitting on it.

1070
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:18,839
Speaker 3: Like, oh god, the Hawks they won. I don't know why.

1071
00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:20,759
Speaker 7: It was a weird reaction to people hate the draft

1072
00:45:20,800 --> 00:45:23,600
Speaker 7: and nobody watches the Hawks. Yeah, it's an understandable and

1073
00:45:23,600 --> 00:45:24,839
Speaker 7: there's no clear number one guy.

1074
00:45:24,920 --> 00:45:25,799
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean that's the thing.

1075
00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:29,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah. People are comparing this draft potentially to

1076
00:45:29,120 --> 00:45:33,480
Speaker 2: the twenty thirteen draft, which was Anthony Bennett going number one,

1077
00:45:33,600 --> 00:45:37,480
Speaker 2: Oladipo two, Otto Porter Junior, Cody Zeller, Alex Lynn Nerlin's

1078
00:45:37,520 --> 00:45:41,439
Speaker 2: Noel Ben, Macklamore, KCP, Trey Burke, c J McCollum, Yeah,

1079
00:45:41,800 --> 00:45:44,439
Speaker 2: Carter Williams and then that's right. I was gonna say,

1080
00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:48,040
Speaker 2: go get the fifteenth pick in this year's draft because.

1081
00:45:47,800 --> 00:45:51,000
Speaker 5: That was honest or draft. French Rudy Gobert was also

1082
00:45:51,120 --> 00:45:51,680
Speaker 5: in that draft.

1083
00:45:51,800 --> 00:45:53,560
Speaker 3: That's right, he was a little bit later. It wasn't

1084
00:45:53,560 --> 00:45:54,960
Speaker 3: the Alex, it was later.

1085
00:45:55,320 --> 00:45:57,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was twice, So we'll see who knows.

1086
00:45:57,560 --> 00:45:59,759
Speaker 2: I mean, there's obviously gonna be some good players, but yeah,

1087
00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:02,560
Speaker 2: there's the guy. Like last year with we and the Spurs.

1088
00:46:02,560 --> 00:46:04,960
Speaker 2: By the way, they have two picks here in the

1089
00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:07,520
Speaker 2: top eight because they got the Raptors pick.

1090
00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:08,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, how do you feel about that?

1091
00:46:11,040 --> 00:46:14,919
Speaker 2: Great, Bob, But it was just gonna keep rolling over,

1092
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:17,279
Speaker 2: So I guess if it's a shitty draft they keep

1093
00:46:17,320 --> 00:46:19,200
Speaker 2: saying it's the shitty draft is give it up, get

1094
00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:21,080
Speaker 2: rid of it now, so that won't be an issue.

1095
00:46:21,080 --> 00:46:23,680
Speaker 2: But yeah, still stinks. It's the Pearl trade. They traded

1096
00:46:23,719 --> 00:46:26,160
Speaker 2: all their guys. They leaned into being bad and they

1097
00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:28,439
Speaker 2: were and they don't have a pick to show for it,

1098
00:46:28,520 --> 00:46:30,040
Speaker 2: not at least a lottery pick. They have a couple

1099
00:46:30,120 --> 00:46:32,680
Speaker 2: picks later on. But yeah, Spurs have the number four

1100
00:46:32,719 --> 00:46:35,279
Speaker 2: pick and the number eight pick here. Will that team

1101
00:46:35,320 --> 00:46:38,080
Speaker 2: be aggressive in trying to package those together to try

1102
00:46:38,080 --> 00:46:39,680
Speaker 2: and go get a point guard?

1103
00:46:39,760 --> 00:46:39,960
Speaker 3: Hell?

1104
00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:42,680
Speaker 2: Will they trade for Tree Young to try and pair

1105
00:46:42,800 --> 00:46:46,799
Speaker 2: with Maybe? So everything's in play here, can't wait any

1106
00:46:46,840 --> 00:46:47,360
Speaker 2: other thoughts.

1107
00:46:48,040 --> 00:46:50,399
Speaker 7: The Nets are giving up their third top three pick

1108
00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:55,240
Speaker 7: since twenty sixteen. Wow, Jalen Brown the pick that became

1109
00:46:55,320 --> 00:46:58,680
Speaker 7: Markel Foltz, which was traded for Jason Tatum in this one.

1110
00:46:59,040 --> 00:47:00,759
Speaker 3: And this was the James Hard trade.

1111
00:47:00,880 --> 00:47:06,520
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, whoa Okay, Okay, that's pretty tough.

1112
00:47:06,520 --> 00:47:08,759
Speaker 7: To be tough, that's pretty think they've won fifty or

1113
00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:12,040
Speaker 7: more games once since nineteen seventy seven and giving up

1114
00:47:12,040 --> 00:47:14,520
Speaker 7: a top three pick three times in eight years.

1115
00:47:14,840 --> 00:47:16,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, you don't want both of those things.

1116
00:47:16,800 --> 00:47:17,840
Speaker 4: No, no, no, no.

1117
00:47:18,120 --> 00:47:20,880
Speaker 5: And just to add on to this, Sean's reporting that

1118
00:47:20,920 --> 00:47:23,520
Speaker 5: Bronnie James is expected to stay in the draft.

1119
00:47:23,880 --> 00:47:25,080
Speaker 3: Okay, so Hawk should take him.

1120
00:47:25,080 --> 00:47:27,719
Speaker 5: The more it sure looks like he will be in

1121
00:47:27,760 --> 00:47:28,680
Speaker 5: the draft.

1122
00:47:28,440 --> 00:47:31,000
Speaker 7: Calab Bron's bluff. Yeah, I saw him post We're coming

1123
00:47:31,000 --> 00:47:32,319
Speaker 7: to atl shau we he let's go.

1124
00:47:32,480 --> 00:47:32,800
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1125
00:47:33,080 --> 00:47:35,880
Speaker 7: Once upon a time, Bronnie James was mocked to the

1126
00:47:35,920 --> 00:47:39,040
Speaker 7: Atlanta Hawks at like the number seventeen pick or something

1127
00:47:39,080 --> 00:47:39,439
Speaker 7: like that.

1128
00:47:39,840 --> 00:47:41,439
Speaker 4: They can draft anybody with another one.

1129
00:47:41,480 --> 00:47:44,279
Speaker 3: Alright, let's hear everybody's thoughts on the draft lottery. How

1130
00:47:44,360 --> 00:47:46,759
Speaker 3: to go for your team? Good or bad?

1131
00:47:46,800 --> 00:47:48,920
Speaker 2: I guess we had like the Pistons moving down. Obviously

1132
00:47:49,239 --> 00:47:53,280
Speaker 2: they the Hornets moving down. We had the Blazers moving down.

1133
00:47:53,320 --> 00:47:55,920
Speaker 4: Because a lot of those teams like nine and shummed up.

1134
00:47:56,000 --> 00:47:57,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, nine and ten moved up. There you go.

1135
00:47:57,840 --> 00:47:59,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, the Pistons keep on being bad. One of the

1136
00:47:59,600 --> 00:48:01,480
Speaker 5: worst rights person and then they keep dropping.

1137
00:48:01,560 --> 00:48:02,960
Speaker 3: And who do you like it?

1138
00:48:03,440 --> 00:48:05,600
Speaker 2: What do you got the eleventh pick from the shruggle

1139
00:48:05,600 --> 00:48:06,640
Speaker 2: bulls be like an eleven.

1140
00:48:06,480 --> 00:48:09,400
Speaker 3: Who got your eye on? Ron Holland?

1141
00:48:10,280 --> 00:48:13,680
Speaker 7: I'm hoping one of the good guys drops Zachary Recesschet,

1142
00:48:14,880 --> 00:48:17,640
Speaker 7: Dalton Connect. Actually, i'll tell you what I don't want

1143
00:48:17,719 --> 00:48:20,680
Speaker 7: Dalton Connect. I saw his ankles yesterday. He was wearing

1144
00:48:20,719 --> 00:48:23,320
Speaker 7: his socks the wrong way. Oh, he was wearing NBA

1145
00:48:23,480 --> 00:48:26,400
Speaker 7: Stance socks and he had the NBA logo on the inside.

1146
00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:27,560
Speaker 4: Of his legs. So I gotta go to the Yeah,

1147
00:48:27,560 --> 00:48:29,480
Speaker 4: I can't tell his feet apart. Boy, I don't know.

1148
00:48:29,520 --> 00:48:30,600
Speaker 4: I like him as an NBA.

1149
00:48:30,680 --> 00:48:33,759
Speaker 3: Maybe zach Edie will be there for you don't want him, No.

1150
00:48:33,719 --> 00:48:36,800
Speaker 5: You don't want to, buddy, can't get his feet apart.

1151
00:48:37,880 --> 00:48:39,759
Speaker 5: That sounds like a Donophan Klinging to me.

1152
00:48:41,080 --> 00:48:41,400
Speaker 3: All right.

1153
00:48:41,520 --> 00:48:45,040
Speaker 4: I liked when Klingon was like a mid lottery pick.

1154
00:48:45,120 --> 00:48:49,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, unfortunately the boards right, but he's like a top

1155
00:48:49,960 --> 00:48:52,960
Speaker 2: three pick. People are saying, like, but maybe it's that

1156
00:48:52,960 --> 00:48:53,480
Speaker 2: type of draft.

1157
00:48:53,520 --> 00:48:55,279
Speaker 3: Who knows? All right, before we go, let's get to

1158
00:48:55,360 --> 00:48:55,960
Speaker 3: tweet of the.

1159
00:48:56,040 --> 00:49:03,480
Speaker 5: Night tweet over and now, wow, you know.

1160
00:49:03,480 --> 00:49:05,560
Speaker 2: The tweet of the night comes from the weekend. Obviously

1161
00:49:05,640 --> 00:49:08,520
Speaker 2: it's about basketball. I just wanted to show a little

1162
00:49:08,600 --> 00:49:12,719
Speaker 2: love to our friend at Jared Wade, who tweeted, I

1163
00:49:12,840 --> 00:49:17,640
Speaker 2: keep expecting Donovan Mitchell's playoffs exploits to slow down, but

1164
00:49:17,719 --> 00:49:21,279
Speaker 2: he just effort least effortlessly pours in points even when

1165
00:49:21,280 --> 00:49:25,000
Speaker 2: his surrounding cast looks worthless. It's really mind blowing how

1166
00:49:25,040 --> 00:49:28,600
Speaker 2: great he is in the postseason. And then Jared sharing

1167
00:49:28,840 --> 00:49:31,880
Speaker 2: this pick here which we're showing you on YouTube of

1168
00:49:32,560 --> 00:49:36,520
Speaker 2: the greatest scorers in postseason history, you know, per game averages,

1169
00:49:37,040 --> 00:49:39,560
Speaker 2: and it's just a fun list. It's Michael Jordan duh

1170
00:49:39,800 --> 00:49:45,520
Speaker 2: number one, Luca two, Alan Iverson three, Durant, Jerry West

1171
00:49:45,640 --> 00:49:49,000
Speaker 2: Lebron and they're at number seven twenty eight points per

1172
00:49:49,040 --> 00:49:53,800
Speaker 2: game in his postseason career is Donovan Mitchell. This guy's

1173
00:49:53,800 --> 00:49:56,520
Speaker 2: played in fifty four playoff games, so this is a

1174
00:49:56,719 --> 00:50:00,600
Speaker 2: pretty good sample size here at this point. Points per game.

1175
00:50:00,600 --> 00:50:02,440
Speaker 2: And again we like we glossed over it because the

1176
00:50:02,480 --> 00:50:04,319
Speaker 2: Cats unfortunately nobody helped them out. But he had another

1177
00:50:04,360 --> 00:50:07,000
Speaker 2: good game there in Game three, and this guy just

1178
00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:07,880
Speaker 2: scores in the postseason.

1179
00:50:08,040 --> 00:50:08,960
Speaker 3: It is pretty impressive.

1180
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:12,360
Speaker 7: Though, and he's played a lot of limited offensive teams

1181
00:50:12,360 --> 00:50:14,279
Speaker 7: where he's the only guy that can score. Good point. Yeah,

1182
00:50:14,320 --> 00:50:16,000
Speaker 7: it's a good point. Yeah, it takes a lot of shots.

1183
00:50:16,320 --> 00:50:19,440
Speaker 7: Anthony Edwards third in postseason points per game. He just

1184
00:50:19,440 --> 00:50:22,040
Speaker 7: hasn't played a game. He's only played nineteen games, but

1185
00:50:22,080 --> 00:50:24,280
Speaker 7: he'd be what, right behind Luca I guess.

1186
00:50:24,080 --> 00:50:26,359
Speaker 2: Okay, a good call, yep. And I was like, how

1187
00:50:26,360 --> 00:50:28,399
Speaker 2: many games did Iverson play postseason games?

1188
00:50:28,600 --> 00:50:28,719
Speaker 4: Dud?

1189
00:50:28,840 --> 00:50:31,359
Speaker 3: Guess Mitchell played fifty four?

1190
00:50:32,960 --> 00:50:34,840
Speaker 5: I was like, really light, one hundred.

1191
00:50:34,960 --> 00:50:38,520
Speaker 2: Yes, it's way lighter than one hundred. Yeah, seventy one.

1192
00:50:38,719 --> 00:50:40,120
Speaker 2: So I thought it'd be a little bit more as well,

1193
00:50:40,200 --> 00:50:43,080
Speaker 2: especially with yeah, a finals run in him and obviously

1194
00:50:43,160 --> 00:50:46,160
Speaker 2: some games there for the Nuggets, played in a couple

1195
00:50:46,239 --> 00:50:49,160
Speaker 2: postseasons with them, but uh, yeah, seventy one. So anyway,

1196
00:50:49,200 --> 00:50:51,880
Speaker 2: my point is like, Mitchell's not that far behind total

1197
00:50:52,000 --> 00:50:54,480
Speaker 2: playoff games with Iverson, So twenty eight points per game,

1198
00:50:54,520 --> 00:50:55,280
Speaker 2: it's pretty amazing.

1199
00:50:56,000 --> 00:50:57,000
Speaker 4: I looked at the numbers.

1200
00:50:57,040 --> 00:51:00,680
Speaker 7: He shoots the second lowest percentage of the ten, yeah,

1201
00:51:00,680 --> 00:51:03,520
Speaker 7: behind Iverson, which kind of made me just more impressed

1202
00:51:03,560 --> 00:51:06,520
Speaker 7: with how good Kevin Durant is when you're talking about

1203
00:51:06,920 --> 00:51:09,760
Speaker 7: field goal attempts per game in the playoffs. Kevin Durant

1204
00:51:09,800 --> 00:51:12,400
Speaker 7: is seventeenth on the list, and what was he in

1205
00:51:12,400 --> 00:51:15,399
Speaker 7: scoring like four or something that, Yeah, this guy's awesome tough.

1206
00:51:15,480 --> 00:51:17,920
Speaker 7: Five hasn't been maximized yet though as a player. We'll

1207
00:51:17,920 --> 00:51:18,799
Speaker 7: see what the Suns can do.

1208
00:51:20,000 --> 00:51:21,960
Speaker 5: Figure out what coach Bud's got.

1209
00:51:22,080 --> 00:51:24,800
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it's basically official five years for Bud.

1210
00:51:25,440 --> 00:51:29,280
Speaker 5: I was quick. The interview process was basically like five seconds.

1211
00:51:29,960 --> 00:51:32,360
Speaker 3: You got a championship, Yes I do.

1212
00:51:32,480 --> 00:51:33,840
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, you're our coach.

1213
00:51:34,840 --> 00:51:37,799
Speaker 5: Went from the house, is not on fire. We're good,

1214
00:51:37,960 --> 00:51:40,560
Speaker 5: you're fired, you're hired. That was fast.

1215
00:51:40,640 --> 00:51:43,239
Speaker 2: It works quick, that guy, Okay, it works quick.

1216
00:51:43,320 --> 00:51:44,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll see what you could do there. All right,

1217
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:45,719
Speaker 3: let's call it there.

1218
00:51:46,400 --> 00:51:49,799
Speaker 2: Two game fours on tonight, Celtics Cavs seven o'clock start

1219
00:51:49,840 --> 00:51:51,959
Speaker 2: on TNT, followed by thunder Mats.

1220
00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:52,759
Speaker 3: Can't wait for that one.

1221
00:51:52,800 --> 00:51:55,880
Speaker 2: That one feels feels huge for obviously the Thunder to

1222
00:51:55,920 --> 00:51:57,840
Speaker 2: try and tie that up to steal one on the

1223
00:51:57,880 --> 00:51:58,600
Speaker 2: road and give us a.

1224
00:51:58,560 --> 00:52:00,839
Speaker 3: Best of three series. Otherwise, Dallas, I don't know.

1225
00:52:00,960 --> 00:52:03,239
Speaker 2: I don't think i'd say it's over, but man, a

1226
00:52:03,239 --> 00:52:05,239
Speaker 2: three one lead with how close these two teams are,

1227
00:52:05,360 --> 00:52:07,440
Speaker 2: that'd be big. So excited for that one. That's nine

1228

Speaker 2: thirty on TNT. We also should have a special guest

1239
00:52:33,560 --> 00:52:37,919
Speaker 5: like it did in Dallas. There was that the guy

1240
00:52:37,960 --> 00:52:41,040
Speaker 5: in front of the ESPN camera just kept throwing his

1241
00:52:41,200 --> 00:52:42,880
Speaker 5: arms up and then it went.
