WEBVTT - Warriors Win The Title 0:00:01.720 --> 0:00:07.040 On this episode, they heap check the twenty twenty one 0:00:07.200 --> 0:00:13.480 twenty twenty two season is a rap. The least predictable 0:00:13.600 --> 0:00:20.480 thing happened as Steph wins Finals MVP, Draymond Green bounces back, 0:00:20.760 --> 0:00:24.000 Jason Tatum can't make a shot, and the Warriors close 0:00:24.079 --> 0:00:24.759 it on the road. 0:00:25.120 --> 0:00:26.160 Just like Steve. 0:00:25.960 --> 0:00:29.400 Kerr, Draymond Green, Klay Thompson, and Steph Curry said they 0:00:29.440 --> 0:00:34.320 would who we got a new champion, Brock And like 0:00:34.360 --> 0:00:36.959 I said, they're not champions until they're champions, and now 0:00:37.000 --> 0:00:49.440 they're not not champions until they're not champions. So, ladies 0:00:49.479 --> 0:00:58.720 and gentlemen, the Golden State Warriors are your twenty twenty 0:00:58.880 --> 0:01:04.600 one twenty twenty two NBA champions. 0:01:05.600 --> 0:01:06.520 Let that sink in. 0:01:07.800 --> 0:01:11.880 The team that was slated to finish ninth in the West, 0:01:13.280 --> 0:01:16.720 the team that John Hollinger had as winning thirty eight 0:01:16.840 --> 0:01:21.720 games this year. I went back and looked, they are 0:01:22.040 --> 0:01:28.280 your current champions. I don't know if you could tell, 0:01:28.319 --> 0:01:32.080 but I couldn't be happier. I love this for them, 0:01:33.040 --> 0:01:39.600 underdog story dynasty that no one ever thought would happen 0:01:40.640 --> 0:01:45.280 from the very beginning. Unlike other media talking heads like 0:01:45.400 --> 0:01:50.640 John Hollinger, I never had a question about this Warriors team. 0:01:51.560 --> 0:01:53.040 I knew that they could be great. 0:01:54.840 --> 0:01:59.840 I saw the potential in this team from the very beginning. 0:02:01.520 --> 0:02:03.920 I just knew it would take a little push to 0:02:04.000 --> 0:02:04.640 get them there. 0:02:05.120 --> 0:02:08.760 How I got there is irrelevance. 0:02:09.200 --> 0:02:14.000 How they flourished and lived up to this potential that 0:02:14.200 --> 0:02:19.280 was driven by hate, not even mattering one bit. 0:02:19.680 --> 0:02:22.359 The potential came out based. 0:02:22.040 --> 0:02:25.680 On that little video that I did Andy Lou. Like 0:02:25.760 --> 0:02:28.840 I said before many times that the Warriors should start 0:02:28.960 --> 0:02:31.320 nine to one, I made a little funny video for 0:02:31.400 --> 0:02:34.720 Andy that happened to go viral that caused this Warrior's 0:02:34.760 --> 0:02:38.000 team to be locked in from the very start. And 0:02:38.080 --> 0:02:41.040 someone said to me last night, it wasn't you, It 0:02:41.160 --> 0:02:44.040 was Andy Lou who made this happen. And I said, 0:02:44.919 --> 0:02:48.840 this doesn't happen without the video to the tweet, it 0:02:48.880 --> 0:02:53.079 doesn't happen without the reaction to Andy Lou. This isn't 0:02:53.120 --> 0:02:59.840 something without me making it something. And they said, you're right, 0:03:00.280 --> 0:03:03.600 you're right, fair enough, and our cleaning lady is here 0:03:03.919 --> 0:03:10.279 right on cue inspiration, actually thirty minutes behind inspiration, motivation, 0:03:11.880 --> 0:03:17.320 hate desire to prove some dumb chick on the internet 0:03:17.360 --> 0:03:20.560 wrong call it whatever you want, But there is a 0:03:20.600 --> 0:03:25.919 reason that this video that is quite banal, like pretty standard, 0:03:26.240 --> 0:03:28.079 won't go nine and one, not. 0:03:27.960 --> 0:03:31.160 Really like a crazy take. I don't know, Like this 0:03:31.240 --> 0:03:33.000 is the fact that it went super viral tells you 0:03:33.040 --> 0:03:33.960 everything that you need to know. 0:03:34.160 --> 0:03:37.960 There are two dozen Warriors Reddit threads about that video. 0:03:38.400 --> 0:03:40.760 I looked it up today. It ended up on the 0:03:40.880 --> 0:03:41.840 NBC Bay. 0:03:41.680 --> 0:03:45.520 Area as well as every major market medium outlet in 0:03:45.560 --> 0:03:49.960 southern and northern California. I even told was told the 0:03:50.000 --> 0:03:52.520 stef saw the video put up fifty piece in that 0:03:52.640 --> 0:03:57.000 tenth win, that tenth tenth game, that ninth win. But 0:03:57.040 --> 0:03:59.960 how does this that act? Like? There weren't legit question 0:04:00.240 --> 0:04:03.560 from others, not for me, but legit questions from others. 0:04:03.960 --> 0:04:07.880 Before the season, some people that were playing the game 0:04:07.960 --> 0:04:11.920 had those same questions. Lots of people thought would Clay 0:04:11.960 --> 0:04:15.120 be the same would he be the same killer on 0:04:15.200 --> 0:04:18.479 both ends of the court, or would he get cooked 0:04:18.880 --> 0:04:21.400 by random G League players. 0:04:22.880 --> 0:04:24.080 Let's play the video. 0:04:23.880 --> 0:04:26.760 From Clay, play the tape from Clay, see what he 0:04:26.800 --> 0:04:27.679 has to say, which. 0:04:27.520 --> 0:04:32.800 Has been three years now, was there ever any doubt 0:04:32.920 --> 0:04:36.200 for you a that you would be able to come back? 0:04:36.240 --> 0:04:38.960 The player that you have come back and b that 0:04:39.000 --> 0:04:41.240 we would be able to do this again once you 0:04:41.320 --> 0:04:41.800 came back. 0:04:42.600 --> 0:04:43.040 Oh yeah. 0:04:43.120 --> 0:04:47.960 I doubted man every day. I remember guarding LB September 0:04:48.000 --> 0:04:49.599 and I could not stay in front of this man, 0:04:50.360 --> 0:04:53.960 even will She, he who never played in the league. 0:04:54.000 --> 0:04:56.400 I was getting busted by him everybody. I was just 0:04:57.160 --> 0:04:59.160 the weak link out there. And I'm just like man. 0:04:59.200 --> 0:05:01.280 I swear I used to be a great defender. I 0:05:01.320 --> 0:05:04.160 swear I used to be a great shooter. And then 0:05:04.240 --> 0:05:06.280 Rick Celebrate, you tell me every day, like Clay, it's 0:05:06.279 --> 0:05:08.400 gonna be up and down, but once you we just 0:05:08.440 --> 0:05:11.040 need Clay for the playoffs and that's all it's gonna take. 0:05:11.080 --> 0:05:14.000 And I was like, Okay, Rick, whatever you say. So 0:05:14.120 --> 0:05:16.520 I had so many doubts. Once I saw you two 0:05:16.560 --> 0:05:18.480 on the floor with Steph and the talent we had 0:05:18.520 --> 0:05:20.919 around us, I knew it was a rap, like no 0:05:20.960 --> 0:05:21.840 one can mess with us. 0:05:23.600 --> 0:05:26.240 Even Clay had doubts. 0:05:27.120 --> 0:05:30.760 There were some people who thought Draymond and his back 0:05:30.800 --> 0:05:34.040 injury would keep him from being effective in the playoffs. 0:05:34.120 --> 0:05:37.279 They were wondering, what the hell is wrong with Draymond? 0:05:37.880 --> 0:05:42.159 What happened to Draymond? Is there a clone in Draymond's place. 0:05:42.960 --> 0:05:44.719 Even his mom tweeted that out. 0:05:45.040 --> 0:05:48.200 Please stop asking me what's wrong with Dre. I don't know. 0:05:48.760 --> 0:05:52.320 Maybe this is a clone all Caps laughing my butt off, 0:05:52.839 --> 0:05:53.440 all Caps. 0:05:53.520 --> 0:05:57.000 Where is the Draymond that helped us get here? I've 0:05:57.040 --> 0:05:58.480 never seen this either. 0:05:59.720 --> 0:06:03.719 Some people thought Andrew Wiggins was soft and didn't have 0:06:03.760 --> 0:06:07.520 the backbone to contribute to a winning team, or even 0:06:07.520 --> 0:06:11.000 the mentality to lock in in high pressure moments and 0:06:11.120 --> 0:06:14.760 show up. Some people thought the Warrior should get a 0:06:14.800 --> 0:06:18.000 center or a big piece to compete of the big 0:06:18.000 --> 0:06:21.600 men in the East, like Embide, like Giannis, like bam Adebayo. 0:06:23.320 --> 0:06:25.760 Some people doubted if Steph could put a team on 0:06:25.839 --> 0:06:28.320 his back when it mattered, hence the. 0:06:28.279 --> 0:06:34.120 Reason they had no finals MVPs. Some said Steph would 0:06:34.120 --> 0:06:34.640 have never. 0:06:34.520 --> 0:06:38.839 Won a title without Kevin Durant if he was playing 0:06:38.920 --> 0:06:43.760 a fully healthy Calves team. Some people thought Kaminga and 0:06:43.800 --> 0:06:47.000 Moody should have been flipped for a big or for 0:06:47.040 --> 0:06:49.680 a splashy free agent. I do believe Draymond Green was 0:06:49.680 --> 0:06:53.400 one of those people. Some people thought that James Wiseman 0:06:53.480 --> 0:06:56.000 looked like a deer in headlights and was a liability 0:06:56.040 --> 0:06:57.920 on the floor. And that this team would be better 0:06:58.000 --> 0:07:04.719 off statistically without him. Not me, not me, never me. 0:07:05.720 --> 0:07:09.520 I was a believer. I was a devout warrior in 0:07:10.120 --> 0:07:15.000 from the beginning. Give me my Holy Bible of Warriors doctrine, 0:07:15.120 --> 0:07:17.040 and I read it every night before I go to 0:07:17.080 --> 0:07:20.240 bed with a warm glass of milk, listening to Draymond 0:07:20.280 --> 0:07:22.440 Green's podcast Nope. 0:07:22.160 --> 0:07:24.440 Not me so much show. 0:07:24.640 --> 0:07:26.920 So I didn't even want to jinx them by putting 0:07:26.960 --> 0:07:27.640 money on them. 0:07:27.880 --> 0:07:28.520 You know what I mean? 0:07:29.000 --> 0:07:33.800 Think of me as a good soldier for everything that 0:07:33.840 --> 0:07:39.880 the Warriors do. Because what motivates the Warriors more than hate? Nothing, 0:07:40.480 --> 0:07:44.520 not a goddamn thing. Steph Curry, Petty King, Klay Thompson, 0:07:44.560 --> 0:07:48.640 Petty King, Draymond Green, Petty King. Do you think words 0:07:48.680 --> 0:07:53.560 of adoration get them going, lace their shoes up tight, 0:07:53.960 --> 0:07:55.120 lock in hell? 0:07:55.320 --> 0:08:01.240 No, what makes them lock in? Suck? They should, That's 0:08:01.360 --> 0:08:08.040 what motivates them. It's called tough love. And as Clay said, all. 0:08:07.920 --> 0:08:11.560 They do is shoot threes and win championships. It takes 0:08:11.600 --> 0:08:13.840 a little hate to get them there. And guess what, 0:08:14.160 --> 0:08:16.640 that's what they did. They went out and they shot 0:08:16.680 --> 0:08:19.320 a lot of threes and they won another chip Again. 0:08:19.840 --> 0:08:25.840 Steph Clay Dre Iguidala four championships, a dynasty and then 0:08:26.000 --> 0:08:30.040 before you say, hey, what did Iguadala do to help 0:08:30.080 --> 0:08:34.600 this team? Dre even said to Iguidala on his podcast 0:08:34.760 --> 0:08:38.040 this morning. He said, I didn't think it was possible 0:08:38.280 --> 0:08:40.920 that Iguidala could be more impactful than he was in 0:08:40.960 --> 0:08:44.280 the year that he was Finals MVP and also an 0:08:44.360 --> 0:08:48.440 offensive and defensive force in not only the full playoffs 0:08:48.440 --> 0:08:51.240 but the finals against Lebron James. But he actually said 0:08:51.559 --> 0:08:55.640 Andre's contributions not playing basketball, even though it was an 0:08:55.679 --> 0:08:58.760 ego shot, were even greater contributions that he had when 0:08:58.800 --> 0:08:59.840 he won Finals MVP. 0:09:03.120 --> 0:09:04.800 The only question remains. 0:09:05.920 --> 0:09:11.360 Are the Warriors one dynasty or two? Even after the win, 0:09:11.720 --> 0:09:13.720 my favorite part was Klay Thompson. 0:09:14.240 --> 0:09:15.439 Good dude, Clay. 0:09:16.760 --> 0:09:19.600 Steph calls himself the petty King, but Klay Thompson really 0:09:19.800 --> 0:09:22.720 the petty king. He what we got in his postgame 0:09:22.760 --> 0:09:26.400 presser was art and also made me go, damn, let's 0:09:26.600 --> 0:09:27.600 let's play that clip. 0:09:27.679 --> 0:09:30.200 Cool frav season. So this was a collective effort and 0:09:30.240 --> 0:09:34.760 strengthen numbers is alive and well, I can't wait. There's 0:09:34.800 --> 0:09:36.640 this one player on the Grizzlies who tweeted strength and 0:09:36.720 --> 0:09:38.920 numbers after they beat us in the previous season, and 0:09:38.960 --> 0:09:42.080 it pissed me off so much. I can't wait to 0:09:42.120 --> 0:09:45.800 retweet that thing. Freaking bum I had to watch that. 0:09:45.920 --> 0:09:51.360 I almost like this freaking cloud. Okay, okay, okay, sorry, 0:09:51.720 --> 0:09:54.800 that memory just popped up. You're gonna mock us like 0:09:54.880 --> 0:09:57.280 you ain't ever been there before. Brou We've been there. 0:09:57.360 --> 0:09:58.959 We know what it takes, so to be here again. 0:10:00.120 --> 0:10:02.240 They tried to get questions Pauls. 0:10:02.480 --> 0:10:05.360 They tried to get questions off to him, to get 0:10:05.400 --> 0:10:05.800 them off with. 0:10:05.920 --> 0:10:08.600 They shouldn't. That's the number one goal of media. 0:10:08.800 --> 0:10:12.240 Little rule for those who do this when they're speaking 0:10:13.400 --> 0:10:16.520 and they haven't completed the thought yet, even if it 0:10:16.559 --> 0:10:20.280 looks like they have, just just keep silent because they 0:10:20.360 --> 0:10:23.040 might say more, and what they say is probably gonna 0:10:23.200 --> 0:10:25.440 be better than the thing that they just said before, 0:10:25.559 --> 0:10:28.319 because their brain's still going and they're processing, and they're 0:10:28.320 --> 0:10:30.439 getting more and more unfiltered as they get their takes 0:10:30.480 --> 0:10:33.760 off and they're getting comfortable. Just do that, like, for example, 0:10:33.760 --> 0:10:36.280 that little back and forth between me and Draymond Green 0:10:36.480 --> 0:10:38.640 where I said, what was that scuffle between you and Drake? 0:10:39.080 --> 0:10:41.200 And he goes, do you have a basketball question? Do 0:10:41.240 --> 0:10:43.080 you know how hard it was for me to sit 0:10:43.160 --> 0:10:49.600 in the silence and not say no or not follow 0:10:49.679 --> 0:10:51.600 up on that. I just sat there and we stared 0:10:51.640 --> 0:10:55.200 at each other for one one thousand two, one thousand 0:10:55.600 --> 0:10:58.360 three until he answered, that's what they should have done 0:10:58.360 --> 0:11:01.280 with Clay Strengthen numbers is a live and well. There 0:11:01.400 --> 0:11:06.120 was a Memphis Grizzlies player after a random win in March. 0:11:06.240 --> 0:11:07.200 March twenty ninth. 0:11:07.480 --> 0:11:13.600 Jaron Jackson Junior tweeted strength in numbers after they beat 0:11:13.800 --> 0:11:19.000 the Warriors in a random March regular season game, and 0:11:19.080 --> 0:11:22.840 Klay Thompson, almost three months later, at the podium with 0:11:22.960 --> 0:11:25.439 his hat on and his championship. 0:11:24.840 --> 0:11:29.360 Trophy, said, what a clown? You bumm one more time? 0:11:30.280 --> 0:11:32.040 I can't wait. There was this one player on the 0:11:32.040 --> 0:11:34.320 Grizzlies who tweeted strength and numbers after they beat us 0:11:34.360 --> 0:11:37.240 in the previous season, and it pissed me off so much. 0:11:38.000 --> 0:11:41.400 I can't wait to retweet that thing. Freaking bum freaking 0:11:41.559 --> 0:11:43.960 bump this freaking cloud. 0:11:44.840 --> 0:11:46.200 Okay, just freaking cloud. 0:11:46.960 --> 0:11:49.440 Okay, sorry, that memory just pumped up. 0:11:50.920 --> 0:11:53.240 Okay, Okay, yeah, I'm gonna show you what time it is. 0:11:53.320 --> 0:11:55.360 Clay's not even playing basketball. Well no, I think he 0:11:55.400 --> 0:11:57.480 came back at that point, but he was not himself 0:11:57.480 --> 0:12:00.880 at that moment. And the Warriors looked done. No Draymond Green, 0:12:01.640 --> 0:12:03.679 they looked strugs. I think they beat him by a 0:12:03.760 --> 0:12:07.400 lot too. Oh, yes, this was the This was during 0:12:07.480 --> 0:12:11.920 the March madness when they beat him without jaw, they 0:12:11.960 --> 0:12:17.360 beat him without Steven Adams. And he's like, strengthen numbers. 0:12:17.920 --> 0:12:20.360 You gonna mock us like you ain't ever been there before, 0:12:20.400 --> 0:12:22.400 brou We've been there, We know what it takes, so 0:12:22.520 --> 0:12:23.199 to be here again. 0:12:23.559 --> 0:12:24.040 Hold that? 0:12:24.480 --> 0:12:28.240 Hold that, He says, Oh, I love Clay Thompson so much. 0:12:28.800 --> 0:12:31.720 Oh no, Jared Jackson, you better delete your account after that. 0:12:32.800 --> 0:12:35.640 You got you gotta delete Twitter after that, My guy, 0:12:35.960 --> 0:12:40.320 that was national television. That was twenty thirty forty million 0:12:40.360 --> 0:12:43.280 people who saw you get absolutely cooked by one of 0:12:43.280 --> 0:12:46.400 the nicest guys in the league. 0:12:46.760 --> 0:12:51.880 He got you a bum and a clown in ten seconds. 0:12:52.360 --> 0:12:55.120 And hold that. What is it that you're supposed to hold? 0:12:55.120 --> 0:12:58.360 Think about that? Think about that? What are you What 0:12:58.520 --> 0:13:01.439 is it that Jared Jackson supposed to be holding? Is 0:13:01.480 --> 0:13:03.559 it the l or is it? I don't know. 0:13:03.760 --> 0:13:06.080 I don't is it my pocket. I'm not sure. I'm 0:13:06.080 --> 0:13:08.440 not sure, but it's not good. I'll just say that 0:13:09.559 --> 0:13:14.040 Golden State winning has Draymond Green now saying, welcome back 0:13:14.080 --> 0:13:17.320 to the Warriors Invitational, which is now called the Finals. 0:13:17.320 --> 0:13:20.840 The Finals are now the Warriors Invitational. We welcome you in. 0:13:21.160 --> 0:13:22.080 We bring someone in. 0:13:22.160 --> 0:13:23.240 It's ours every time. 0:13:23.280 --> 0:13:27.080 Now, I mean now we have to take a peek 0:13:27.120 --> 0:13:31.280 into the locker room of the Boston Celtics. I tell 0:13:31.280 --> 0:13:35.200 you what, this is not in the script, but there 0:13:35.320 --> 0:13:44.760 is nothing sadder then watching the away team pop champagne 0:13:45.760 --> 0:13:49.720 in the other opponent's arena and then taking a look 0:13:49.840 --> 0:13:51.760 into the locker room of the opponent. 0:13:52.440 --> 0:13:52.959 I did that. 0:13:53.240 --> 0:13:56.880 Toronto beat Golden State in Golden State, and I tell 0:13:56.920 --> 0:14:00.960 you what, there's nothing sadder. It's like, whoa, You're in 0:14:01.000 --> 0:14:06.040 your own crib. They're literally spraying champagne all over your 0:14:07.240 --> 0:14:10.160 They're they're reckless with it, they're loud, they're trying. Your 0:14:10.360 --> 0:14:12.920 locker rooms are near one another. Yours are bootsy ass. 0:14:13.200 --> 0:14:14.800 Yours are the good locker rooms. They're in the boots 0:14:14.800 --> 0:14:20.400 he ass locker rooms. They're destroying, yelling, Golden State saying 0:14:20.720 --> 0:14:24.080 Draymond green to mock you. It's just a bad situation. 0:14:25.880 --> 0:14:28.760 And I think everyone besides Al Horford and Robert Williams 0:14:28.800 --> 0:14:30.960 are to blame for this loss. But no one is 0:14:31.000 --> 0:14:33.680 taking it harder. No one is getting beat up by 0:14:33.720 --> 0:14:40.240 the media more than Jason Tatum. Tatum awesome in the playoffs, 0:14:40.280 --> 0:14:44.640 really really good, be putting himself into the pantheon of 0:14:44.680 --> 0:14:46.800 maybe top five players right now in the NBA. And 0:14:46.840 --> 0:14:50.280 then he gets to the finals and he just he 0:14:50.440 --> 0:14:53.960 just deflates like a little like a little blow up doll. 0:14:54.880 --> 0:14:55.560 It was bad. 0:14:55.800 --> 0:14:58.480 He couldn't take care of the rocket all this postseason, 0:14:58.680 --> 0:15:01.880 which is why he became the first player in NBA history, 0:15:02.880 --> 0:15:05.960 first player in NBA history to turn the ball over 0:15:06.000 --> 0:15:07.560 one hundred times in a playoff run. 0:15:08.480 --> 0:15:11.160 That is a clot. 0:15:12.080 --> 0:15:16.400 Although he averaged twenty two seven and seven, that's pretty good, 0:15:16.680 --> 0:15:19.560 the stats don't really tell the story. In addition to 0:15:19.640 --> 0:15:22.960 averaging four turnovers per game, how come I didn't take 0:15:22.960 --> 0:15:26.920 that prop on BEDMGM. He simply just could not make 0:15:26.960 --> 0:15:30.680 a layup or a two to save his life. These 0:15:30.680 --> 0:15:33.480 are numbers around the rim and in the mid range. 0:15:33.800 --> 0:15:36.840 Let me just go through them for you. Two for 0:15:36.920 --> 0:15:42.680 twelve two for ten, six for fourteen, four for fifteen, 0:15:43.280 --> 0:15:47.360 five for eleven, five for fourteen. The man shot almost 0:15:47.400 --> 0:15:50.520 fifty percent from three and thirty percent from two. 0:15:52.480 --> 0:15:55.280 Let me ask you, this, is it harder to shoot 0:15:55.280 --> 0:15:58.040 a two than it is a three? Because Jason Tatum 0:15:58.040 --> 0:15:59.280 would have you believe that it is. 0:16:00.520 --> 0:16:03.160 And this is so much worse than the turnovers what 0:16:03.200 --> 0:16:05.680 you consider a fair number of these were from close range, 0:16:05.880 --> 0:16:09.880 smoking layup after layup. Keep in mind he shot fifty 0:16:09.960 --> 0:16:11.520 three percent from inside and. 0:16:11.560 --> 0:16:14.160 Mid range this season. What a drop off. 0:16:14.720 --> 0:16:19.880 So you're talking about like literally a fifty percent decline 0:16:19.520 --> 0:16:20.800 in percentage. 0:16:21.840 --> 0:16:22.720 That's ridiculous. 0:16:22.840 --> 0:16:26.200 He also shot a sixty four, a pathetic sixty four 0:16:26.240 --> 0:16:30.200 percent from the charity stripe in this series, a full 0:16:30.520 --> 0:16:34.080 twenty percent, twenty points lower than his season average eighty 0:16:34.080 --> 0:16:37.440 four percent free throw shooter normally sixty four percent free 0:16:37.440 --> 0:16:41.800 throw shooter in the finals. Why, how, what is wrong 0:16:41.800 --> 0:16:46.080 with Tatum? He must be injured? These cannot be Jason 0:16:46.080 --> 0:16:48.920 Tatum numbers. I think probably in like ten days, maybe 0:16:48.960 --> 0:16:51.680 five days, we're gonna get a think piece written by 0:16:51.680 --> 0:16:55.360 like Jackie McMullen about what went wrong with Jason Tatum. 0:16:55.560 --> 0:16:59.160 He had a separated shoulder or a lap or a 0:16:59.200 --> 0:16:59.840 trap in pin. 0:17:00.640 --> 0:17:03.680 He didn't have full of mobility in his right or 0:17:03.760 --> 0:17:07.199 left arm. That happened starting in the Miami Series, and 0:17:07.200 --> 0:17:09.040 he played through it like the warrior that he is. 0:17:09.359 --> 0:17:11.720 Otherwise, there is no other explanation. 0:17:12.200 --> 0:17:15.600 People are cooking him like that Tatum Kobe tweet a 0:17:16.160 --> 0:17:18.720 text message exchange that they were supposedly where he sent 0:17:18.800 --> 0:17:21.240 Kobe the tweet I got you, and there's now just 0:17:21.320 --> 0:17:23.800 like mem after mem after me and being like, don't 0:17:23.840 --> 0:17:24.720 text me ever again. 0:17:26.320 --> 0:17:31.680 That's so fucked. Here's the thing, though, the team should 0:17:31.680 --> 0:17:33.120 probably be very proud. 0:17:32.920 --> 0:17:35.040 Of the way that they got to this finals, considering 0:17:35.080 --> 0:17:39.720 that they were fifty percent below fifty percent in January 0:17:39.960 --> 0:17:42.640 twenty five and twenty six, and you go to the finals, 0:17:42.760 --> 0:17:46.160 you should feel really proud about that. Well over half 0:17:46.160 --> 0:17:49.639 the season they were a five hundred team. They were 0:17:49.760 --> 0:17:54.440 up to one on the Warriors. This team has moving forward, 0:17:55.320 --> 0:17:57.040 not only a lot to be proud of, but a 0:17:57.040 --> 0:17:58.240 lot of questions to answer. 0:18:00.000 --> 0:18:01.760 They're gonna get a fucking point guard to what like? 0:18:01.840 --> 0:18:05.560 They it worked, but it didn't like are they gonna 0:18:05.560 --> 0:18:05.840 do it? 0:18:06.400 --> 0:18:10.000 Especially this new Marcus Smart reverted all back to the 0:18:10.040 --> 0:18:11.080 old Marcus Smart. 0:18:11.240 --> 0:18:12.280 When the lights got. 0:18:12.080 --> 0:18:15.359 Bright, he's chucking and chucking and chucking, and it's like, 0:18:15.720 --> 0:18:18.399 this is why we didn't like you, Marcus Smart, because 0:18:18.400 --> 0:18:24.080 you shot four for seventeen from three, Like what, you 0:18:24.080 --> 0:18:26.960 should not be shooting more than six threes a game, 0:18:27.359 --> 0:18:30.840 and that's generous. Tatum, he couldn't buy a mid range. 0:18:31.160 --> 0:18:35.199 He had no shot clock or game awareness. And like Tatum, 0:18:35.200 --> 0:18:38.040 he couldn't protect the ball either. He averaged the exact 0:18:38.040 --> 0:18:40.080 same amount of turnovers as Jason Tatum in the last 0:18:40.119 --> 0:18:44.640 five games of the finals. How much he was injured too, right, 0:18:45.280 --> 0:18:47.199 Nobody talked about that in the Finals, but he was 0:18:47.200 --> 0:18:49.879 missing games in the Heat series with the swollen knee, 0:18:50.160 --> 0:18:52.800 a hurt foot. I don't know, he never he never 0:18:53.000 --> 0:18:55.159 didn't play in that. He didn't miss a game in 0:18:55.200 --> 0:18:57.199 the Warrior series, but we know he was banged up 0:18:57.200 --> 0:18:59.960 to just like Robert Williams, they were a hospital wing 0:19:00.080 --> 0:19:00.480 at the end. 0:19:00.800 --> 0:19:08.719 Let's be honest, Jaylen Brown two to em Udoka. I 0:19:08.760 --> 0:19:13.560 am so proud of what you did. Like I joke 0:19:13.600 --> 0:19:14.120 a lot, but. 0:19:15.720 --> 0:19:21.879 To get a guy from his humble beginnings and wasn't 0:19:21.920 --> 0:19:26.000 really even in the league and from my hometown. He 0:19:26.040 --> 0:19:28.760 grew up less than a mile and a half from me, 0:19:28.920 --> 0:19:31.639 just the neighborhood over from me and Kenton Kenton Park. 0:19:32.080 --> 0:19:34.560 He's a North Portland guy. I'm on the edge of 0:19:34.560 --> 0:19:38.280 North North and Northeast Portland. And for him to bring 0:19:38.440 --> 0:19:42.439 his friends from back home, and I said to Aaron, 0:19:42.680 --> 0:19:46.240 you know, make these boys dogs. And for him to 0:19:46.320 --> 0:19:51.560 make them dogs for the most part, in you know, 0:19:51.680 --> 0:19:55.720 less than a full season, I get kind of I 0:19:55.720 --> 0:19:57.520 don't know, I get kind of choked up about it, 0:19:57.560 --> 0:19:59.480 Like that's not a lot of people come out of 0:19:59.480 --> 0:20:04.879 Northeast p Portland and do that. So e you like 0:20:04.920 --> 0:20:07.600 you're the guy, like you did what Brad Stevens never 0:20:07.640 --> 0:20:11.240 could do. And so to me, you're the coach of 0:20:11.280 --> 0:20:13.879 the year. To me, you're one of the best in 0:20:13.920 --> 0:20:15.720 the business. And I wish you had a head coaching 0:20:15.800 --> 0:20:19.520 job a lot earlier than you did. So everything happens 0:20:19.560 --> 0:20:21.520 for a reason. I'm happy it's Boston. I'm happy you're 0:20:21.520 --> 0:20:25.080 in the spot that you're in. But like you deserve it, 0:20:25.440 --> 0:20:28.480 you do. And I think he's gonna probably make some changes. 0:20:28.520 --> 0:20:31.240 I think he's gonna figure out some roster moves, figure 0:20:31.280 --> 0:20:33.760 out a way to get a secondary ball handler if 0:20:33.840 --> 0:20:35.879 you're in a spot where you know Golden State can 0:20:35.920 --> 0:20:39.600 switch everything just like Boston can. And when that happens, 0:20:39.680 --> 0:20:42.639 you're putting the ball into the wrong people's hands. And 0:20:42.720 --> 0:20:45.280 now you've got Jason Tatum handling the ball and Jaylen 0:20:45.320 --> 0:20:48.560 Brown handling the ball, Marcus Smart doing a lot of playmaking, 0:20:48.560 --> 0:20:50.679 and they just can't. So I think that they need 0:20:50.720 --> 0:20:53.040 to find somebody else, even if he comes off the 0:20:53.040 --> 0:20:55.359 bench like Tyas Jones. I know Tias Jones wants to start, 0:20:55.480 --> 0:20:57.600 but Tyas Jones would be awesome. He's got the lowest 0:20:57.640 --> 0:21:02.280 turnover assistant turnover ratio, like the best turnover to assist ratio. 0:21:02.040 --> 0:21:03.680 In the league. He would be perfect. 0:21:03.720 --> 0:21:08.080 Could you imagine Ema Udoka deciding we're gonna put Tyas 0:21:08.200 --> 0:21:10.040 Jones in instead of Marcus Smart and just see what 0:21:10.080 --> 0:21:12.480 happens at the end of games, just for third quarters 0:21:13.080 --> 0:21:16.880 in the playoffs. I mean, just take care of the rock. 0:21:17.520 --> 0:21:19.320 You're just at your one job. Take care of the rock, 0:21:19.560 --> 0:21:23.480 shoot some threes, play make. Whether he stays in Memphis, 0:21:23.520 --> 0:21:24.960 I don't know, but he would be a perfect piece, 0:21:27.400 --> 0:21:29.720 and you could make the argument that Boston should have 0:21:29.720 --> 0:21:32.920 been up three to one in this series. Whether they 0:21:32.920 --> 0:21:36.040 could have kept Golden State from winning three straight, I 0:21:36.119 --> 0:21:40.320 don't know. The Warriors kept getting better and Boston kept 0:21:40.320 --> 0:21:43.719 getting worse. Truthfully, the really chance, the only chance they 0:21:43.760 --> 0:21:46.720 really had, was to go up early and to try 0:21:46.720 --> 0:21:49.680 to sneak one out, just to squeak win. It felt 0:21:49.720 --> 0:21:51.719 like they never had a chance though, even when they 0:21:51.720 --> 0:21:54.760 were up to one. As soon as that Staph game happened, 0:21:54.760 --> 0:21:57.400 it was a seminal moment. Game four Staph performance where 0:21:57.440 --> 0:22:00.000 he put up over forty. You were like, it's a wrap, 0:22:00.720 --> 0:22:03.119 It's wrap. I don't know what Steph's gonna do next. 0:22:03.520 --> 0:22:05.440 He went zero for nine. They still won that game. 0:22:07.160 --> 0:22:08.560 What is I mean? 0:22:08.640 --> 0:22:12.560 It was just wild the Warriors also, they Boston, like 0:22:12.600 --> 0:22:13.680 I said, couldn't protect the ball. 0:22:13.720 --> 0:22:14.720 They had poor shot selection. 0:22:14.760 --> 0:22:16.840 They ran into a three headed busaw of Steph, Clay 0:22:16.840 --> 0:22:19.520 and Wiggins, even Jordan Poole to a degree. Pool in 0:22:19.560 --> 0:22:22.600 Game six with Steph Curry, Pool was like otherworldly in 0:22:22.640 --> 0:22:26.720 that first half. Emy Udoka says, it's a learning experience. 0:22:26.800 --> 0:22:29.080 We're gonna grind away in the summer, We're gonna improve. 0:22:29.240 --> 0:22:33.560 I think the biggest part for us is the IQ section. Uh, oh, 0:22:33.960 --> 0:22:37.960 gotta get smarter, gotta get better. And you can say, like, oh, 0:22:38.040 --> 0:22:39.920
