Speaker 2: Go check that out after we're done with this one.

40
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:10,360

00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:15,239
Speaker 2: USA for the playoffs, not to host the show it

42
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 2: you need me for entertaining games. I left on Thursday.

43
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 2: What happens? Thursday Night? Warriors beat the Lakers by twenty seven. Friday, okay,

44
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 2: Celtics beat the Sixers by twelve. We had a somewhat

45
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 2: close game. I guessed between the Suns and the Nuggets.

46
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:34,239
Speaker 2: But then on Saturday, the Heat whax the Knicks by nineteen,

47
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 2: the Lakers crush the Warriors by thirty. I come back

48
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:40,639
Speaker 2: on Sunday and everything's hey, okay, maybe look at these

49
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 2: games we get on Sunday in overtime game and then

50
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,360
Speaker 2: that crazy, crazy game in Phoenix, and let's start with

51
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 2: that one task upbsolutely. Do you want to start with

52
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 2: the actual game talk? Do you want to go right

53
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 2: to the jokich ishia.

54
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 1: Let's talk about basketball just for a second, because because

55
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:01,080
Speaker 1: everybody wants to talk about the guy who's scored fifty points,

56
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 1: going close to the owner, who was holding the ball

57
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 1: first before everything, and we're gonna get to that. We're

58
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 1: gonna talk about it for a long time. So I

59
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 1: think we can talk about the guy who dropped long.

60
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:12,920
Speaker 1: I know we will very long. The guy who dropped

61
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 1: fifty points and Devin Booker on the other side, two

62
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 1: incredible performances. Devin Booker the best player in the playoffs

63
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 1: thus far. Great question. Maybe the way he was pushing

64
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 1: it and being forceful. The way he hasn't got a haircut,

65
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 1: I think just shows how focused he is. On the postseason.

66
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 1: You're up in Canada where they like to have playoff

67
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 1: beards for the NHL playoffs. I think Devin Booker's doing

68
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 1: the same thing. He can't waste half an hour or

69
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 1: forty five minutes. He's just so locked in and he's

70
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 1: so locked in every time he gets the ball on

71
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 1: pushing it up. And I know that the Nuggets are

72
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 1: focusing on that. Between Game four and Game five, that

73
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 1: guy was going going after it and going after Jokic

74
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 1: with the last few minutes, in the last few minutes

75
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 1: when Jokic was trying to carry the team to a victory.

76
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 1: Fifty three point night for you, Jokic, like we can,

77
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 1: we can get to the ISSHBIA. But just the on

78
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 1: the Jokic thing in general, the guy just you know,

79
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 1: he keeps on amazing all of us and we all say,

80
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 1: how how are those shots going in? And it's cool

81
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 1: because Durant said the same thing after the game. Durantz

82
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 1: just like us, he said, I hate when he makes

83
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 1: shots because he's so unorthodox, and it's like, oh, yeah,

84
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 1: that's a miss, and then it goes straight in. He's incredible.

85
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 1: Exactly what we were thinking. I'd say the only The

86
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 1: only weird thing at the end of this game was

87
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 1: that Jokic Murray turnover where you know, other than the

88
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 1: Isshbia incident, but where they're down three points and their

89
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 1: two man game was working so perfectly. They handed each

90
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,159
Speaker 1: other handed it to each other like four times. That

91
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 1: was really really weird. Were they running like a flea

92
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 1: flicker or something like, was somebody else gonna come from

93
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 1: the other side for a shot. It just seems like

94
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 1: it was a trick played and they out tricked themselves

95
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 1: and the ball goes on the floor and that's when

96
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 1: DeAndre Ayton and Jokic tussle for it, and then there's

97
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 1: a jump ball and eight and gets away with a

98
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,039
Speaker 1: little hand on the shoulder of Jokic. They get the

99
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 1: ball and seal the game.

100
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 2: It comes to a jump ball. I'm convinced. Yeah, there's

101
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,720
Speaker 2: none changes from game to game, from jump all.

102
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 1: To jump Maybe molloy couldn't see it, but weird one,

103
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 1: really weird ending to an incredible game. It was called

104
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 1: an all star game by Grant Hill during the third

105
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:24,040
Speaker 1: quarter with defense and it was it really was. I

106
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:26,359
Speaker 1: love the way a Booker is pushing at every single

107
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:30,719
Speaker 1: possession Durant was following him, and the Jokic Murray dynamic

108
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 1: is so incredible. One of those just guys, one of

109
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 1: those tandems need a third guy. And finally it was

110
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 1: Landry Shammon in the fourth court hitting three threes game

111
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 1: over and now we can do it. But I mean,

112
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 1: I just wanted to talk about the basketball.

113
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, go ahead, TK, what are your big takeaways? I

114
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 2: love an epic duel, you know, I love an epic duel.

115
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 3: I would have loved to hear that from Grant Hill

116
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 3: instead of an All Star game with defense. Interesting take

117
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,160
Speaker 3: just incredible shot making is what it was. A small

118
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 3: versus a big going back and forth. You expect Devin

119
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 3: Booker to hit a full speed twelve foot runner. You

120
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:05,920
Speaker 3: don't expect it from a guy who's three hundred pounds

121
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 3: bringing the ball up. But that was incredible stuff from Jokic.

122
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 3: And you're right, it must be so frustrating to take

123
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 3: him shots that you're like, oh, that's gotta be a

124
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 3: miss and it goes in. Whereas with Booker you're like,

125
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 3: we're doing everything we possibly can. We don't want him

126
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:19,160
Speaker 3: to take any shot because he's going to make every

127
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 3: single one of them nine misses over the weekend. For

128
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 3: Devin Booker, the guy's playing incredible basketball and then playing

129
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 3: on the defense event and as well making things tough

130
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,599
Speaker 3: for Jamal Murray. But three things to me changed for

131
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 3: Phoenix once they got to Phoenix. Number one, Kevin Durant

132
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 3: completely stepped up in games three and four. Here Game

133
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 3: three thirty nine points, nine rebounds, eight assist, follow that

134
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,600
Speaker 3: up with thirty six eleven and six. Stars got to

135
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 3: show up in the playoffs to have a chance. That

136
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 3: has been the case for the Nuggets. I think they've

137
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 3: gotten good performances from Yokich and Murray for most of

138
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:52,719
Speaker 3: the time. The role players completely flipped. Landry Shamitt hitting threes.

139
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 3: Jock Landale incredible minutes in both games three and four,

140
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,719
Speaker 3: bringing the energy and just making it so you don't

141
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 3: have to have eight and out there quite as much.

142
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:05,160
Speaker 3: Terrence Ross hitting threes. Meanwhile, the Nuggets are getting absolutely

143
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:09,039
Speaker 3: nothing from the Compound Coast Compost Bros. Sorry, they're just

144
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:12,239
Speaker 3: trash right now. That's the problem. They scored eleven points yesterday.

145
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 3: They're getting outplayed by the Sun's bench, who we were

146
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 3: talking about. They don't have a bench. Monty Williams was

147
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 3: just trying to play anybody. It finally worked because of

148
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 3: the third thing. Chris Paul got hurt and now they

149
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 3: play faster and they play a lot more shooting, which

150
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 3: makes things even easier for Booker. For Durant, there are

151
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 3: shots to be had out there, and the Nuggets are

152
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 3: doing whatever they can to take the ball out of

153
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 3: Devin Booker's hands. Why wouldn't you The guy is killing,

154
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 3: He can't miss. You gotta force a double team. Unfortunately,

155
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 3: sometimes the double team comes from Kevin Durant wide open

156
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 3: from the top of the key to knock it down

157
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 3: or shamit going Warrio mode from the left corner. He

158
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 3: couldn't miss last night either. So great stuff from the Suns.

159
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 3: You hope all of your supporting pieces play better when

160
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 3: you're at home, and they definitely did. Even DeAndre Aiden

161
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 3: the guy made some clutch plays in this one. The

162
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 3: jump ball, he had a tough almost had an and

163
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:04,239
Speaker 3: one missed the free throw. Maybe black Michael Porter Junior

164
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 3: on a pull up three pointer at least made it

165
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 3: scary for Michael Porter Junior on the pull up Yeah,

166
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 3: but he basically got benched in Game three, came back

167
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 3: and really helped Phoenix win the game in game four.

168
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, at some point after nine pm Eastern last night,

169
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 2: we had two epic tools on our television happening at

170
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 2: the exact same time this game Game four. Here Booker

171
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 2: versus Jokich specifically, and then Tom versus Shiv on succession. Oh,

172
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 2: what a scene that people are gonna be talking about.

173
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 2: And it was incredible. I loved it. Let's talk Booker

174
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 2: twenty at twenty five shooting in game three. That sounds

175
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 2: fake still to me. He follows it up with thirty

176
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,439
Speaker 2: six points, like you guys said last night, fourteen of eighteen,

177
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:46,199
Speaker 2: and he dished a postseason career high twelve assists. Some

178
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 2: of those were beautiful, surgical like dimes where letting the

179
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:53,560
Speaker 2: double come, gonna have a guy rotate to let's say

180
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 2: Katie at the top, Oh, I'll kick it to the corner.

181
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:58,560
Speaker 2: That was one for Sushamit specifically obviously had the huge

182
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 2: and one to eat and you know, trusting him going

183
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 2: to him, had the mismatch he hit that. I just loved.

184
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 2: I can't believe I'm saying this. I was just impressed

185
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 2: with his passing as I was all this scoring because

186
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 2: over the last two games, the guy has scored eighty

187
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 2: three points on seventy nine percent shooting, and TK slipped

188
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:19,079
Speaker 2: it in there. KD has shown up in Phoenix. It's

189
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 2: like being overlooked totally, you know, because of what Booker's.

190
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 1: Done, because Duran can be better. I think Durank can be.

191
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:26,680
Speaker 2: A lot better, you say, And Booker is the bus driver.

192
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 1: That's an NBA TV reference, baby, not the.

193
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 3: Charles Barkley, Yeah, Barkley Durant referenced for a long time.

194
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 1: Durant was twelve of thirty one in Game three. I

195
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 1: know he went to the free throw line and he

196
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:41,559
Speaker 1: scored thirty nine. I think there's something he's not He's

197
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:43,720
Speaker 1: not one hundred percent back. I think the footwork is

198
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 1: just ain't there. Like at times his feet are moving

199
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:50,320
Speaker 1: a little faster than his body and he's tripped himself

200
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 1: up a couple of times. But Devin Booker looks like

201
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:56,719
Speaker 1: the fastest player in the game in the NBA. I mean,

202
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:58,840
Speaker 1: he is really pushing at each each and every time.

203
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 1: And he's considered a slight guy, a smaller guy. But

204
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:07,720
Speaker 1: three point thirty left, I think there's there was a

205
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 1: really important possession where the game could have gone to

206
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:13,960
Speaker 1: the Nuggets. The Jokic scored a possession where he fell

207
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:16,560
Speaker 1: over and it was a five point game, and then

208
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 1: they go back on the defensive end, and Booker took

209
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 1: it right at him smartly because Jokic was on the

210
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 1: ground and he had to do the offense and the

211
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 1: defense men do everything, and he missed writing Jokic's face,

212
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 1: but he was able to grab the offensive rebound because

213
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:31,199
Speaker 1: he was going after and he set up Durant for

214
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:33,960
Speaker 1: a shot to get the spread a little bit bigger.

215
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 1: So Booker, if you want to call him the MVP

216
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:40,560
Speaker 1: of the playoffs, yes, I mean that's that's totally totally fair.

217
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 1: He has been absolutely freaking incredible. He's been phenomenal.

218
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 2: Jolkic became the fifth player in NBA history to put

219
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 2: up a fifty point ten assist playoff game. Y'll obviously

220
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 2: had better numbers than that. He joined Jerry west Sleepy,

221
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 2: Floyd Russell Westbrook, and Damian Lillard. So we got a

222
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 2: big guy now going for fifty three points. A lot

223
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 2: of people pointing out have heard on podcasts, even on

224
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 2: Twitter last night it did. It was a little reminiscent

225
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 2: of the Mavericks trying to make Suns Steve Nash a

226
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 2: bit more of a score instead of a facilitator. When

227
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 2: you think of like that two thousand and five second

228
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 2: Round series. I believe it was there in that game

229
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 2: four where Nash went for forty eight points. Obviously his

230
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:21,680
Speaker 2: assists were way down, his turnovers were up that game

231
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 2: because they were like, it's like pick your poison a

232
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 2: little bit. Now he still gets obviously eleven assists in

233
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:29,199
Speaker 2: this game. You'll he can he can do it all.

234
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 2: But do you like the game plan a little bit

235
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 2: of staying home on the other guys and like let

236
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 2: Yo Kiz try and beat you and let him go

237
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 2: for your forty plus. I think he's now zero and

238
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:40,960
Speaker 2: three in postseason games where he goes for forty or

239
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 2: more points. That's right. I think it's the move. The

240
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 2: Nuggets only got twenty two three pointers up.

241
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 3: We've been talking about the math problem that the Suns have,

242
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:51,960
Speaker 3: and that wasn't a problem because they outshot Denver, because

243
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 3: Denver's not getting wide open three point looks off of

244
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 3: the actions they usually do, because their Nuggets just can't

245
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:01,079
Speaker 3: generate the looks because Phoenix is sticking to the guys

246
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,200
Speaker 3: on the three point line, then challenging a guy like

247
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 3: Michael Porter Junior who was trying to get himself going

248
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:08,080
Speaker 3: on the pull up with eight, and so it definitely

249
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 3: works twenty eight points on twenty five shots with for

250
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 3: Jamal Murray. You'll live with that if you're Phoenix, you know,

251
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 3: not great efficiency, a pretty solid game for Murray, but

252
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 3: nobody else came along for the ride, as Reggie Miller

253
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 3: would like to say, And it's a largely because the

254
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:25,120
Speaker 3: Nuggets don't want to play with Jokic as a scorer.

255
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 3: He can obviously put fifty three on you. He was

256
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:30,200
Speaker 3: an incredible game. The guy's one of the three best

257
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 3: players in the league, but he would rather distribute and

258
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:35,839
Speaker 3: get everybody else involved, and it makes the Nuggets a

259
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:39,719
Speaker 3: much more dangerous team when doing so. Also, like just

260
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:41,720
Speaker 3: shoot a left handle layup man. That was a Patrick

261
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:43,679
Speaker 3: Ewing kind of move right there. Botching that one right

262
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:45,560
Speaker 3: there at the end looked like he was trying to

263
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 3: draw a foul. They were down I think they were

264
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 3: down five at that point, so three points definitely would

265
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 3: help more so than two.

266
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 2: Uh, and he caught at the top. He couldn't let

267
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:55,080
Speaker 2: it fly he likes to do that. He does that

268
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:56,319
Speaker 2: a lot though. I mean, he's gonna just try and

269
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:58,280
Speaker 2: put pressure on the rim there when they're maybe you're like,

270
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 2: h we probably need a three. It go away from them,

271
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,679
Speaker 2: you already. You guys slipped in like the contributions from Shamitt,

272
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 2: but Jocque Lindell as well, Terrence Ross like it's good

273
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:08,080
Speaker 2: that many Williams. It took him a couple of games

274
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:10,840
Speaker 2: to like find somebody on the bench because these guys

275
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:13,560
Speaker 2: were dnps here early in this series. But TJ. Warren

276
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 2: Terrence Ross like Warren only had five points, did hit

277
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:18,959
Speaker 2: some big free throws. Just having maybe those guys out

278
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:21,199
Speaker 2: there the threat of shooting, like, it's a lot different

279
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:23,719
Speaker 2: than Joshua Kog and Tory Craig, who I don't even

280
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,720
Speaker 2: believe played in that one, right, So it's like, you know,

281
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 2: they're at least a threat. And Ross backed it up,

282
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:30,960
Speaker 2: and Shaman obviously did in this one. This is best

283
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 2: game in a long time.

284
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, kudos some money well ms. He overhauled his bench.

285
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:36,720
Speaker 1: Really he wanted to play. Bismack Biambo is the backup center.

286
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:40,199
Speaker 1: Now it's all Jock Landale, who has been awesome. Actually,

287
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 1: when he was taken off with five minutes left for

288
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 1: DeAndre and I worried there for a sec for them.

289
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:49,840
Speaker 1: This guy has been playing phenomenal. Given his body up,

290
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 1: they can go to him as a as a drop

291
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 1: off guy. But Trey slipped it in deandret and bench

292
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 1: for the last five minutes of Game three. Didn't talk

293
00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:59,080
Speaker 1: to reporters, but showed up in the last few minutes.

294
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 1: He up for it and then on the Wings, Money

295
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 1: Williams said, yea, Terrence Ross, TJ Warren over, Damian Lee

296
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 1: and Tory Craig, They've come through. I think Devin Booker

297
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 1: is always signaling to Terrence Ross if you watch that

298
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 1: relationship there, he wants t Ross to shoot the ball

299
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 1: and get him open because t Ross can light it

300
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:20,640
Speaker 1: up and good opportunity for him. He miss definitely missed some,

301
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 1: but came through. And Landry Schiman, who has done it

302
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 1: in the postseason before, way back when it's been a

303
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 1: it's a weird journeyman, young journeyman career for that guy.

304
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 1: But yeah, they came through. Unlike the the Nuggets guys

305
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 1: who Christian Brown was benched in the second half, didn't

306
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 1: have didn't wasn't part of the compost crew, wasn't doing

307
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 1: his part. But Jeff Green, you know, trying his ass

308
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 1: off against Kevin Durant, and then the supporting players like

309
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 1: Michael Porter was really really forcing it, trying to get

310
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 1: himself going, not making great decisions, but it was damn

311
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 1: close in the end, and it's still too too.

312
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 2: Yeah. Is it going to come down to, like which

313
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 2: one of these benches can travel and like give you

314
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 2: a good game on the road at Phoenix in Denver

315
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 2: as we go back for pivotal Game five or the reverse,

316
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 2: any of these nuggets guys, you know, playing well in

317
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 2: game six in Phoenix because we know we're getting that.

318
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 2: It might come down to this because the stars are

319
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 2: doing their part. Yeah, exactly.

320
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 3: Both stars have showed up for both teams and you've

321
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 3: gotten I don't know, I saw Justin Tinsley on ESPN.

322
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 3: Propose the crazy thing called the two to one to

323
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:21,680
Speaker 3: one theory. Your best player has to win you two

324
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 3: playoff games in a series. Your second best player wins

325
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 3: you one, and then your role players or a random

326
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 3: dude wins you the fourth one. Ye would you give

327
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 3: two wins to Booker? Would you give one win to

328
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 3: Booker and one win to Landry Shammitt again hot last night.

329
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 3: I don't know, but you're gonna have to have a

330
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 3: role player game either way for both of these teams.

331
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 3: Like Landry Shamitt had nineteen points yesterday, he had eighteen

332
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 3: points in the playoffs going in to yesterday. Does he

333
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 3: get hot again in game five?

334
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 2: Maybe? So.

335
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 3: I think the Nuggets are probably helping a little bit

336
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 3: too much. Like the shots are wide open for Shaman.

337
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 3: You can't help off Kevin Durant standing at the top

338
00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 3: of the key right there. But yeah, there's a reason

339
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 3: that's a say role players play better at home because

340
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 3: they do.

341
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 2: You're used to it. So we shall see pivotal Game

342
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:10,880
Speaker 2: five right around the corner. Right, it's on Tuesday night.

343
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 2: We get that very very quick. All right, Let's get

344
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:17,920
Speaker 2: to the incident. Yokich assessed an unsportsmanlike technical foul in

345
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 2: the second quarter for shoving Son's owner Matt Ishpia on

346
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 2: the sideline. We have the clip now. Jokich used a

347
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:27,480
Speaker 2: little forearm there. He shoved the owner after he refused

348
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:30,240
Speaker 2: to give him the ball. Yokic wanted to inbound it

349
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 2: there quick. He fell back into a seat, A lot

350
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 2: of people thinking this is a flop. Who he throws

351
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 2: his hands up. It is quite funny to me. Yeah,

352
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 2: and then we also did have a fan removed from

353
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 2: his seat that made contact with Yokich. Ishbi obviously stayed.

354
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 2: The Suns released a statement saying and attendee was relocated

355
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 2: to diffuse the situation.

356
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 1: Okay, and then oh he was relocated to a different spot.

357
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 2: Yes, thought was a black polo.

358
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 1: I believe so, yeah, absolute will be black polo. He

359
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 1: came out of nowhere for a touch on Yeah, yeah,

360
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 1: right now here.

361
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:09,920
Speaker 2: But Kevin Owens, what are you doing? So so again,

362
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:13,400
Speaker 2: this was just you know, an unsports and like technical foul.

363
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 2: That's all that was called. After they looked at it.

364
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 2: Tony Brothers and his crew and now the que is

365
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:20,199
Speaker 2: after this game and this morning, I'm sure on all

366
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 2: the on the talking you know, debate shows will or

367
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:26,119
Speaker 2: should Jokic be suspended?

368
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 1: What do you think if Jokic is suspended for a game.

369
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 1: I'm sitting out a game and no dunks. There's no

370
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 1: chance he should be suspended for a game. I'm sitting

371
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:40,159
Speaker 1: one out not just because he's a superstar, but because

372
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 1: he was going to grab a ball to continue the

373
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:46,439
Speaker 1: game of basketball. That's what he was going to do.

374
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 1: That's why he went over to the area where the

375
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 1: ball was. So there was a fan and who happened

376
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 1: to be the owner, It doesn't really matter who it was.

377
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 1: Who had the ball on his hip and he was

378
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 1: holding it there very very tightly, And I'm totally okay

379
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:04,920
Speaker 1: with it. I don't mind the gamesmanship of him sort

380
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:07,640
Speaker 1: of helping up Josha Kogi, his player, while also having

381
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:09,680
Speaker 1: the ball on his hip. But he had such a

382
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:12,960
Speaker 1: vice grip on that ball that when Jokic tried to

383
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:15,639
Speaker 1: grab it from him, a man who fights for balls

384
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 1: for a living, it went up four rows. I mean

385
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:22,920
Speaker 1: he had such a lock on that ball. Yeah. So

386
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 1: and then ish and then Ishbia touched Jokic on the hip,

387
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:32,639
Speaker 1: albeit just a gentle touch, and Jokic gave him a

388
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:36,400
Speaker 1: little elbow shove, a little elbow shiver, and Ishbia did

389
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:41,919
Speaker 1: the matrix whoo fall back and Jokic was hit with

390
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 1: a tech foul. I'm okay with everything. I'm okay with

391
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:47,199
Speaker 1: Ishbia saying this is my team. I used to play basketball.

392
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:49,119
Speaker 1: I get to hold the ball if it comes to me,

393
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:51,920
Speaker 1: but also Jokic wants to continue to play basketball. So

394
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:54,960
Speaker 1: I'm okay with everything. I'm okay with an unsportsmanlike I'm

395
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:58,040
Speaker 1: okay with Ishbia doing what he did. But if he

396
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:02,240
Speaker 1: gets suspended, I mean, that's just a pile chuck. If

397
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:06,440
Speaker 1: that's that's ridiculous. If he suspended, I know, there's the talk,

398
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:08,600
Speaker 1: there's the sort of the gray area if he enters

399
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 1: the stack.

400
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 2: The letter of the law is a player cannot go

401
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:14,679
Speaker 2: into the crowd, but is not. Yeah, he's like on

402
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:15,280
Speaker 2: the floor.

403
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:17,640
Speaker 1: He was going to get a ball. He was going

404
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:18,360
Speaker 1: to get a ball.

405
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:20,480
Speaker 2: Uh, Trey, what do you think and what do you

406
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 2: think the league will do? I mean, good luck trying

407
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 2: to figure out what Joe Dumars and Silver do because

408
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 2: half the time we've been wrong.

409
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:29,520
Speaker 1: It feels like the malice at the Palace. That's there's

410
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:30,320
Speaker 1: the connection there.

411
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 2: Well, he's gonna call Isiah Thomas, what's going on down there?

412
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:36,159
Speaker 2: Thanks for keeping a chill. Actually, I'm surprised.

413
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:37,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, didn't get anything.

414
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:39,119
Speaker 3: He just sat there. He's like, I know what to do,

415
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:41,159
Speaker 3: and I'm sitting courtside. I am grabbing the ball and

416
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:44,879
Speaker 3: holding on to it. Yeah, like the money man over here. Uh,

417
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:46,879
Speaker 3: they handled it fine, and that's what it should be.

418
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:47,360
Speaker 2: Fine.

419
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 3: Probably gets fined. He did certainly make contact with a spectator.

420
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:55,920
Speaker 3: Uh if that spectator was a standard fan, see you later.

421
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:57,880
Speaker 3: But it's mad As Yeah, the owner. So he gets

422
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:01,040
Speaker 3: the stay and already had an effect on this, getting

423
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 3: the Phoenix suns.

424
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:03,440
Speaker 2: One point. That's all they deserve.

425
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:05,920
Speaker 3: They get one point for this because it was nonsense

426
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:07,920
Speaker 3: that he was holding onto the ball for so long.

427
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:12,119
Speaker 2: Just call it like. Nobody wants anything more from this.

428
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:14,480
Speaker 3: My guess is that Adam Silver will call Matteshbia and

429
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 3: he'll be like, don't suspend Yokic. He should, he should

430
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 3: ask for him to be suspended because of doing due

431
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:21,479
Speaker 3: diligence for his team. But he should also be like,

432
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 3: I don't want to be this big of a story

433
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 3: in my very first playoffs.

434
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:27,880
Speaker 2: Ever, that's what you do a few years down the line.

435
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:31,120
Speaker 3: Uh So, hopefully a fine for Ishbia, Hopefully a fine

436
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 3: for Jokic and they're both there for Game five.

437
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:36,879
Speaker 1: A fine for holding the ball. I don't think he

438
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:38,840
Speaker 1: would have been tossed if he was a fan. I

439
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 1: mean he he he did. He was smart in that

440
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:43,639
Speaker 1: he was keeping his eyes on his player, like he

441
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:45,719
Speaker 1: was pretending that he had his eyes on his player.

442
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, but he definitely didn't want to give the ball up. Also, mean,

443
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:50,520
Speaker 2: there is this whole part.

444
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 1: I don't think he would have been tossed if he

445
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:54,160
Speaker 1: was just a regular fan. I don't think he would

446
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 1: have been tossed.

447
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,400
Speaker 2: That's interesting, Kevin Owens for no reason. Yeah, well, he.

448
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 1: Came out of He wasn't involved in the play. He

449
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:04,159
Speaker 1: was the third party in this play. That's not a play.

450
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 2: Hold on, You're saying a fan sitting court side, we

451
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 2: need to establish this. If the ball comes to me

452
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 2: and I'm sitting court side, do I have two seconds

453
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:15,399
Speaker 2: to give it back? Do I? I think I have

454
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:17,480
Speaker 2: joked before about what happens if I take the ball

455
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:19,719
Speaker 2: and just run away. Yeah, they do.

456
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:20,160
Speaker 1: That's fine.

457
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:20,480
Speaker 2: Hit.

458
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 1: That's why you can't give a delay of game to

459
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:27,960
Speaker 1: somebody sitting courtside or to the arena in general. You

460
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:31,000
Speaker 1: can't give them a tech. But he was smart and

461
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 1: that he was pretending to be doing something else the

462
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 1: same time as he had two things on the go.

463
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 1: But yeah, he had a lock on that thing. He

464
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 1: was a former player. He knows what he was doing.

465
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 2: Yeah. The other part is, you know, we've seen this

466
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:46,119
Speaker 2: a million times. I think Rissillo calls it the Pat

467
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:48,119
Speaker 2: Bev rule because he does this all the time. I

468
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaker 2: always think of it as the Kyle Lowry thing. Lowry

469
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 2: always runs over and wants to do the give me

470
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:56,879
Speaker 2: the ball so we can have an advantage. He tries

471
00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:59,920
Speaker 2: it all the time. Pat Beev does two as well,

472
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:01,959
Speaker 2: So shout out to Rissolo for that one. But a

473
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 2: lot of the times they don't let them inbound the

474
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:07,160
Speaker 2: ball because they're like hold on a guy's like in

475
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 2: the third row here, man, like just just relax. It's

476
00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 2: a second quarter, Okay, just relax. But everybody can get

477
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:14,919
Speaker 2: into the play and then we'll go. So that's the

478
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:17,000
Speaker 2: funny part about the Yokic, like trying to rip the

479
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 2: ball and like start a fast break. My gut, says,

480
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 2: Maloya is not allowing it to happen, not while Josh

481
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:27,760
Speaker 2: is still getting up. So in a way, yes, I look,

482
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:29,360
Speaker 2: if it should be just hands on the ball, then

483
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:32,000
Speaker 2: this is nothing. I think. Yok then tries to inbound

484
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,160
Speaker 2: the ball and Malloy says, no, bring it back. Yeah,

485
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 2: that's what it would have happened. I think, Uh, but

486
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:38,760
Speaker 2: then you know Yokich because he's doing the pet BEV

487
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:40,560
Speaker 2: Lowry light type thing of like come on, give it

488
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:42,720
Speaker 2: to me, let's go. He's sort of caught. He's a

489
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:44,920
Speaker 2: bit of an instigator as well, so they're both at fault.

490
00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:46,639
Speaker 2: And that's why this is really a nothing burger. And

491
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:49,880
Speaker 2: hope to god he is not suspended for game five.

492
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 2: I mean it's a padlock.

493
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:54,640
Speaker 3: He's spend an MVP because the owner gets involved. That's

494
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:55,640
Speaker 3: a bad puff at the NBA.

495
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:58,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, right, if it was just a fan, they wouldn't

496
00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:01,399
Speaker 1: even think for a second to suspend you totally. Do

497
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:03,840
Speaker 1: you think Jokic knows who Madshba is?

498
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:05,000
Speaker 2: No, I don't.

499
00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 1: I don't think so either.

500
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 2: I really don't, especially.

501
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:12,280
Speaker 3: Because he's a famous guy, right because he's court sided

502
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 3: with Isaiah Thomas.

503
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, uh sure maybe yeah, my guess is Thomas.

504
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's a famous guy for sure.

505
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:23,359
Speaker 2: But I sometimes think doesn't even know who he's playing against.

506
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:24,960
Speaker 2: He just shows up. He's like, oh, who am I

507
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:28,560
Speaker 2: dropping fifty three on? Who is that guy? That's teach? TJ. Warren?

508
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:29,199
Speaker 2: Who the hell is that?

509
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 1: I'm just glad the brothers weren't sitting by by that

510
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:34,320
Speaker 1: whole incident.

511
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:36,440
Speaker 2: Well, do they have to fly him in for Game

512
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:39,119
Speaker 2: five in Denver? That seems like only fair to me.

513
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:43,239
Speaker 2: One of those guys ever done got to bring him

514
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:45,240
Speaker 2: in sitting look tough in the stands. I've seen him

515
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:50,640
Speaker 2: do that a lot. Do you think Ishbia flopped or

516
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:53,359
Speaker 2: you know a six eleven, two eighty pound man with

517
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 2: a little forearm is enough with your legs to the

518
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:57,960
Speaker 2: back of your chair. Uh, And it was more of

519
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:02,600
Speaker 2: a you know, we're playing block charge here? Which one was?

520
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:08,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's a combo. Yeah, seventy thirty flop fall,

521
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:10,920
Speaker 3: Like I mean, I think we're probably underestimating how strong

522
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 3: Youkic is. Like that probably would knock most of us

523
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 3: over just a little chicken wing from him. But the

524
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:18,720
Speaker 3: arms up was the flop flopping to me.

525
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:22,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, I really, I hope we don't miss you for

526
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:24,879
Speaker 2: a show because I don't think he's going to be suspended.

527
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:29,840
Speaker 1: And I think we got freaking series going on. That's

528
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 1: the other part of imagine that we've got a perfect

529
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:32,919
Speaker 1: series going on.

530
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:36,240
Speaker 2: Okay, here's here's what here's the counter though. The Suns

531
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:38,560
Speaker 2: fans go well, what about us way back, you know seven,

532
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:43,879
Speaker 2: when Steve Nash got body checked by Robert Or and

533
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:47,400
Speaker 2: a couple of guys left the bench. You know, Boris,

534
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 2: I'm Stadameier was a weird one. That's what they So

535
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 2: they say it's the same. Well, that's what they're going

536
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:56,359
Speaker 2: to say. They're going to say, it's, you know, the

537
00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 2: letter of the law. He touched the.

538
00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:00,639
Speaker 1: Fan even though it's the owner, and Mash goes to

539
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:02,480
Speaker 1: the finals. If that doesn't happen.

540
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:04,960
Speaker 2: I mean, they still had another chance to win another game.

541
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 2: That's right, that's right. Nash also admitted he did flop.

542
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:10,480
Speaker 2: I asked him, and he said, yeah, I flopped when

543
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:15,160
Speaker 2: when Hory's body checked me, I got hit. That's right,

544
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:17,520
Speaker 2: that's right. Okay, So hopefully he's not going to be suspended.

545
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:18,440
Speaker 2: I will say.

546
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:20,520
Speaker 3: Watching this back, watching this so many times, you just

547
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:24,680
Speaker 3: find new little favorite guys. Yeah, to watch earlier this morning,

548
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:27,600
Speaker 3: my new favorite guy became guy in blue polo who

549
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 3: immediately just stands up, opens his mouth and you can

550
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:30,199
Speaker 3: tell you just.

551
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 2: Saying, hey, that guy's great. Also great.

552
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:35,680
Speaker 3: When the ball gets popped out of ish his hands,

553
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:38,600
Speaker 3: it goes to a bald guy with a goatee. He

554
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:41,560
Speaker 3: passes the ball back into the referee, and when he does.

555
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:43,600
Speaker 2: It, he did it with a shooting mode. Yeah. I

556
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:46,200
Speaker 2: really like that. That's what you do if your court side.

557
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 2: That's how you got to show off.

558
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:51,080
Speaker 3: Check out my release with an instantaneous pass back to

559
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:51,879
Speaker 3: where it's supposed to go.

560
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:54,080
Speaker 2: I agree. Yeah, it goes to the guy in white.

561
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:56,840
Speaker 2: But he even thinks about holding onto the ball for

562
00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:58,600
Speaker 2: a second. He's like, hold on, this is a game

563
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:02,200
Speaker 2: potato maybe, and then he's like, nah, Yoki is asking

564
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:03,840
Speaker 2: for it, and you're right. He tries to throw it in,

565
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 2: but then josh Akji he pops it out. He comes

566
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 2: away with the ball at all this, which is the

567
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 2: funny part. But yeah, we will find out. I guess within.

568
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:15,439
Speaker 2: I don't know. I assume today, well, I don't know.

569
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:18,199
Speaker 2: Dumars doesn't act all that quickly sometimes with these. But

570
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 2: I think I think I'm with TK that we get

571
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:24,240
Speaker 2: some fines, probably for both of them. You don't sound

572
00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 2: like you don't think HbA should is deserving one. I

573
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:28,439
Speaker 2: sort of think he played a part in this, and

574
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:32,080
Speaker 2: it's like, look, you know we had the Lowry incident

575
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:35,359
Speaker 2: in twenty nineteen, in the NBA Finals. No, it's different

576
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:38,040
Speaker 2: than this. Lowry spills into the front crowd in Golden

577
00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 2: State trying to save a ball. And what he was,

578
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:44,480
Speaker 2: like an investor of the team, you know, so a

579
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 2: minority owner of some sort, Mark Stevens, I think his

580
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:49,560
Speaker 2: name was, you know, he pushed Lowry and dropped a

581
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:52,920
Speaker 2: couple f bumps like he was like angry that Lowry

582
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:56,080
Speaker 2: was hustling to save a ball. Right, that guy got

583
00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:58,399
Speaker 2: suspended for a year, He couldn't go to games for

584
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:00,119
Speaker 2: a year. And I got and I got a five

585
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:02,520
Speaker 2: hundred thousand dollars fine. Now, I don't think that's happening

586
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:07,439
Speaker 2: for Ishbia, but a smaller fine. Sure didn't play, and

587
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:11,240
Speaker 2: don't worry. He's got the money, that's right. So all right, well,

588
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:12,880
Speaker 2: let's hear from everybody out there. I know you guys

589
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:15,679
Speaker 2: are sharing right now in the Street team your thoughts

590
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 2: on the whole Jokic versus HbA incident. The NBA man,

591
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:22,960
Speaker 2: what a leak? All right, let's guess quickly get to

592
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:25,440
Speaker 2: the other Western Conference series from the weekend. I told

593
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:27,560
Speaker 2: you a couple of the games were blowouts. Since I've

594
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:29,840
Speaker 2: been gone at least and the one there. In the

595
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:32,639
Speaker 2: latest game, Game three, the Lakers crushed the Warriors one

596
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:35,200
Speaker 2: twenty seven to ninety seven and they take the two

597
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:37,280
Speaker 2: to one series lead. What do you got from this.

598
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:42,080
Speaker 1: One, Well, the Warriors were kind of stroll into the

599
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:45,280
Speaker 1: rim there in Game two, and the Lakers cleaned that up.

600
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:48,480
Speaker 1: There was a red carpet, especially for Draymond Green after

601
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 1: the passes from Curry that they removed for Game three.

602
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:56,000
Speaker 1: They yanked that from under Draymond's legs. But the Warriors

603
00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 1: were having a great game to start this game. Early

604
00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:00,480
Speaker 1: in the second quarter, they're up eleven, could have gone

605
00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:03,560
Speaker 1: up thirteen, but Clay Thompson decided to pull out for

606
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 1: a three pointer instead of going to the rim when

607
00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:08,200
Speaker 1: Curry was on the break with him, and that's when

608
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:12,520
Speaker 1: the game turned and it got uglee. It was the

609
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 1: Lakers winning by eighteen points in that send cord just

610
00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:18,280
Speaker 1: by playing their style. You want to talk about potential tease.

611
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:21,000
Speaker 1: The free throw discrepancy in that second quarter was a

612
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 1: while fifteen to one. There was one flagrant and three

613
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:27,399
Speaker 1: techs hit on the Warriors, one from the bench, and

614
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:29,920
Speaker 1: that just set up the Lakers defense and they were ready.

615
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:31,920
Speaker 1: They did a much better job of when Curry was

616
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:35,480
Speaker 1: doubled to get in Draymond's way and the Warriors couldn't

617
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:38,760
Speaker 1: get any flow, and really, yeah, the game turned nine

618
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:42,560
Speaker 1: turnovers for the Warriors. That one included. There were Clay

619
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:44,720
Speaker 1: decides to pull out, he had a bad cort, he traveled,

620
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:47,680
Speaker 1: he had a push off, He had three turnovers himself.

621
00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:50,520
Speaker 1: I'd call that one that he didn't catch Curry's pass

622
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:53,080
Speaker 1: on him. And yeah, Davis woke up in terms of

623
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:55,520
Speaker 1: just trying to punish Draymon Green. He drew four fouls

624
00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:58,520
Speaker 1: on Draymond Green. He hit more free throws than shots.

625
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:02,440
Speaker 1: It was ugly. It was the Lakers recipe for success.

626
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:06,520
Speaker 1: And they're alternating games, and I think the Warriors can

627
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:12,280
Speaker 1: win Game four by playing a little bit more free

628
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 1: and not fouling as much. Draymond has to be better.

629
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:19,040
Speaker 2: What do you think, Trey odd number game?

630
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:25,320
Speaker 3: Good ad, alternating days, alternating days, pretty simple, every odd

631
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 3: number game, he's looking good. He had twenty one I

632
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:31,720
Speaker 3: guess through three quarters, which was basically the real part

633
00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:33,800
Speaker 3: of this game here. I also thought Lebron had a

634
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 3: pretty good second quarter and third quarter. He outscored Golden

635
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:39,320
Speaker 3: State ten to eight right at the end of the

636
00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:41,640
Speaker 3: second quarter during a huge run for the Lakers. Continued

637
00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:44,040
Speaker 3: it in the third quarter eleven points, four for six,

638
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 3: two rebounds, and a block. He's not the same guy

639
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 3: right now. There are still times when he looks slow.

640
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:50,920
Speaker 3: He didn't even take a shot, I don't think in

641
00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:53,720
Speaker 3: the first quarter of this game. But he's got a

642
00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:56,680
Speaker 3: sense of the moment obviously, and he really swung the game,

643
00:29:56,960 --> 00:30:00,760
Speaker 3: kind of sensing that the Warriors could be hitting the

644
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:02,760
Speaker 3: nose there in the second and third quarter. You saw

645
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:05,680
Speaker 3: Lebron and Ad at the end of the third quarter,

646
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:08,360
Speaker 3: they know we just put on an incredible show. They're

647
00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:11,960
Speaker 3: both just like dying on the sideline looking like the

648
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:15,880
Speaker 3: Popeyes employee after they finally dropped their chicken sandwich. But

649
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:17,920
Speaker 3: they went all out in the third quarter, knowing if

650
00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:19,640
Speaker 3: we put them away right now, we can rest and

651
00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:21,720
Speaker 3: not have to play the fourth quarter. So really great

652
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:25,640
Speaker 3: stuff from Lebron and Ad giving exactly what they needed

653
00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:28,600
Speaker 3: when they needed to. Also, D'andelo Russell has been the

654
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:31,480
Speaker 3: main X factor in this series so far. When he's

655
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:33,720
Speaker 3: played well, the Lakers have won. Sure, it has come

656
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:35,720
Speaker 3: in the two games that Anthony Davis has played well

657
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:38,680
Speaker 3: as well. But having somebody else who can create from

658
00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 3: the perimeter while Reeves is struggling from the outside, while

659
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:44,680
Speaker 3: Lebron is not having his greatest series, somebody who has

660
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:46,600
Speaker 3: the ball in his hands and is able to score

661
00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:49,560
Speaker 3: has been huge for the Lakers, since the Warriors ain't

662
00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:51,120
Speaker 3: getting that from any of their supporting guys.

663
00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:53,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, after making twenty one threes in the first two games,

664
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:56,440
Speaker 2: the Warriors in Game three went thirteen to forty four

665
00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:59,040
Speaker 2: from deep. They shot under forty percent from the floor.

666
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:01,120
Speaker 2: Great Lakers def like you guys were talking about, and

667
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 2: they committed nineteen turnovers which led to twenty seven Lakers points.

668
00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:06,960
Speaker 2: So given a lot back or a lot of easy

669
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 2: points that way, and that is why they have the

670
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:11,400
Speaker 2: two one series lead. And it feels like, I guess

671
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:13,560
Speaker 2: if game five and a two two series is pivotal

672
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:18,320
Speaker 2: Game four when you're down to one crucial, Crucial seems

673
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:20,240
Speaker 2: like a right word from me. Crucial. It's like, oh,

674
00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:23,160
Speaker 2: it's basically it's like it's must win, right do you

675
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:25,640
Speaker 2: believe that? I know the Warriors technically could come back

676
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:27,840
Speaker 2: from three to one, but the way the Lakers have looked,

677
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:30,400
Speaker 2: I think that would be quite the hole here for them. So, yeah,

678
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:31,960
Speaker 2: they got to get this one tonight. We'll be talking

679
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:36,280
Speaker 2: about it on tomorrow's podcast Live here from the Classic Factory.

680
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:38,920
Speaker 2: Will task you with us? That's the real question as

681
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 2: we wait to see whether Yokich just suspend. All right,

682
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:46,040
Speaker 2: So imagine, imagine we don't get a decision tonight. You're

683
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:46,800
Speaker 2: coming in tomorrow.

684
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:49,720
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, but what if Joe Dumars makes the call

685
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:52,560
Speaker 3: no Yokich Game five and we find out at ten

686
00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:53,720
Speaker 3: thirty eight Eastern time?

687
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:55,320
Speaker 2: Will you walk off the show?

688
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:59,160
Speaker 1: Oh? Wow? Oh ten eighty, Yeah, it comes down.

689
00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 3: Oh, breaking new from Sean's Nikolay yok suspended five games.

690
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:03,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you.

691
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:08,040
Speaker 1: Earbuds out, leave my mic.

692
00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:10,760
Speaker 2: Just get up and just like stroll off all right.

693
00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, well.

694
00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:15,480
Speaker 2: He's not concerned about it, because.

695
00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:18,480
Speaker 1: I do think that they should hit Mattshbia with a

696
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:19,800
Speaker 1: T as well.

697
00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 2: To add to his name.

698
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:25,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, good. Thanks, I like it. Thanks for reading

699
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:27,640
Speaker 1: my comment and my tweet. How did you read everything

700
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:27,840
Speaker 1: that was?

701
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 2: Didn't say that one? I saw the one where you

702
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:33,680
Speaker 2: were gonna take yourself off the show.

703
00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:34,120
Speaker 1: But not that one.

704
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:37,360
Speaker 2: Pretty obvious joke. Weird to see a Matt with just

705
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:41,320
Speaker 2: one tea. I don't know. I don't know any other ones. Mattie, Oh,

706
00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:45,520
Speaker 2: definitely not Matt Hoffman, the back Max writer. Was he

707
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:49,080
Speaker 2: a one t I think he was that last one

708
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:51,720
Speaker 2: in there? You go, all right, we gotta take a break.

709
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:53,760
Speaker 2: When we come back, we're gonna talk about Harden and

710
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:57,600
Speaker 2: his bounce back performance in game four, and we'll tee up. Obviously.

711
00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:02,440
Speaker 2: The heat Knick series don't go anywhere. Good chi ching

712
00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:06,960
Speaker 2: hit jd Well, Yeah, I almost whiffed it. Yeah, but

713
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:09,720
Speaker 2: we got we can edit it.

714
00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:11,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna fix it in post. Yeah.

715
00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:13,120
Speaker 2: What about that little blob I had?

716
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:14,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's gone too.

717
00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:16,800
Speaker 2: Do you don't even know what I'm talking about right now? Exactly?

718
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:19,320
Speaker 2: Let's talk about the Eastern Conference series.

719
00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:23,880
Speaker 1: James Harden blobbs here, hits a game winning.

720
00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:27,880
Speaker 2: Three in overtime. Sixers tie their series with the Celtics

721
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:30,560
Speaker 2: too too. It's a little shocking here. But the James

722
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:35,160
Speaker 2: Harden roller coaster, Wow, what a game one, down, two

723
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:38,840
Speaker 2: and three flubbing lines in an ad read left and right.

724
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:43,160
Speaker 2: Game four crushes it. AD execs calling into the show.

725
00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:46,000
Speaker 2: We need more hearten, more skeets on these ad reads

726
00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:56,040
Speaker 2: the energy the waynes World quotes excellent, yeah, excellent, so yeah, Harden,

727
00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:58,120
Speaker 2: Oh my god, what a game task forty two points,

728
00:33:58,120 --> 00:34:00,800
Speaker 2: sixteen to twenty three shooting. It's six three. He had

729
00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:04,000
Speaker 2: eight boards, nine assists, four steals, a block, only one

730
00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:06,960
Speaker 2: turnover in forty seven minutes. Because this thing went overtime.

731
00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:09,799
Speaker 2: He had the tying shot in the closing seconds of

732
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:12,319
Speaker 2: regulation and then he hits the game winner with about

733
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:13,279
Speaker 2: nineteen seconds.

734
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:15,080
Speaker 1: To going on. It is so crazy how different he

735
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:18,480
Speaker 1: looks game to game, how bouncy those legs look in

736
00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:21,680
Speaker 1: the mid range, and he just looked spunky in game one,

737
00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:24,279
Speaker 1: in game four and very different in game two. In

738
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:27,160
Speaker 1: game three and playing forty eight minutes along with his

739
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:32,360
Speaker 1: man Ebid playing forty six minutes and them almost given

740
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:34,640
Speaker 1: that game away in the last six minutes where Al

741
00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:38,279
Speaker 1: Horford versus Joel Embiid. What a matchup to see Al

742
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:40,799
Speaker 1: Horford block Joel and bead three times in the last

743
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:44,760
Speaker 1: six minutes of regulation. That doesn't happen to an MVP

744
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:45,520
Speaker 1: very often.

745
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:48,680
Speaker 2: That was gat he was. He was. He took her

746
00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:52,560
Speaker 2: screaming at him, come on, man, yeah, got the custom

747
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:53,319
Speaker 2: out for sure.

748
00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:56,239
Speaker 1: But he found that second wind just in time. He

749
00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 1: hit a fade over Horford to forty left and ot

750
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:02,439
Speaker 1: and then he drew a foul on Horford. But yeah,

751
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:06,720
Speaker 1: Tucker also doing it. Two huge offensive rebounds classic PJ

752
00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:08,799
Speaker 1: a minute left in the fourth and then three left

753
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:14,799
Speaker 1: in OT. The cussout probably helped as well. But Harden, Yeah,

754
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:17,480
Speaker 1: he was magical man. Taking it really to to Malcolm

755
00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:21,080
Speaker 1: Brogen in that matchup. He loves, he adors and was

756
00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:23,400
Speaker 1: clutch obviously the floater to Tide at the end of regulation.

757
00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:25,040
Speaker 1: And then that wide open three that we got to

758
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:26,839
Speaker 1: talk about. How the heck do they leave him open

759
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:28,680
Speaker 1: on the strong side, How do you do that? Why

760
00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:30,440
Speaker 1: did you do that? Jaylen Brown?

761
00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:36,240
Speaker 2: He said he did it. Agreed, he did take responsibility

762
00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:38,399
Speaker 2: after the games had gambled at the wrong time. Big

763
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:40,399
Speaker 2: shot by James Harden, but that's my fault. I take

764
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:41,319
Speaker 2: full accountability.

765
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:43,640
Speaker 1: Just a bad read, not just a double, but also

766
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:46,520
Speaker 1: Embiid had picked up his dribble on Jason Tatum. He

767
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:49,560
Speaker 1: was corralling the ball ready to shoot. There was absolutely

768
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:51,560
Speaker 1: no need for him to be over there. He was

769
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:53,719
Speaker 1: not only guess, but it just looked like there was

770
00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:56,640
Speaker 1: a play going nowhere, even though it was Jason Tatum.

771
00:35:56,719 --> 00:36:00,239
Speaker 1: So an odd to read there. Especially it's take the

772
00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:03,120
Speaker 1: two and let the game get tired. That's the game, yeah,

773
00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:05,520
Speaker 1: versus a three ball in your eye.

774
00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:07,919
Speaker 2: Great for a guy that's been on fire in this game.

775
00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:10,360
Speaker 2: He had already had five up into that point in

776
00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:12,280
Speaker 2: James Harden made number six there in the corner.

777
00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:14,960
Speaker 3: What'd you think Harden saved the bacon in this one,

778
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:17,480
Speaker 3: because that's not even a great pass from Embiid. I mean,

779
00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:21,239
Speaker 3: he obviously incredible Reid to realize that Brown was coming

780
00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:23,200
Speaker 3: to him, but he just got rid of it basically

781
00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:25,759
Speaker 3: as quickly as he could. Harden reaches out with his

782
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:27,960
Speaker 3: left hand, pulls it in for the knockdown. That was

783
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:30,160
Speaker 3: just great stuff from Harden.

784
00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:30,600
Speaker 2: PJ.

785
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:33,560
Speaker 3: Tucker, he might be the most clutch player heckler in

786
00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:35,879
Speaker 3: the NBA right now. He was yelling at Paul Reid

787
00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:38,720
Speaker 3: in Game one for giving up a couple of offensive rebounds.

788
00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:40,880
Speaker 3: Then Paul Reid goes out and switches for free throws

789
00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:45,000
Speaker 3: to win this game. Embiid was losing it at the

790
00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:47,160
Speaker 3: end of the fourth quarter here, only had two points

791
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:50,319
Speaker 3: in the fourth quarter, gets heckled by PJ. Tucker and

792
00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:52,319
Speaker 3: goes out and makes plays that he absolutely had to

793
00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:56,160
Speaker 3: play or had to make. So great stuff from PJ. Tucker,

794
00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:58,439
Speaker 3: who like, literally that's what they got him for one

795
00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:01,240
Speaker 3: offensive rebound and a put back and to keep everybody

796
00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:03,960
Speaker 3: on task. Sometimes veteranship is just yelling at your own

797
00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:06,520
Speaker 3: players to focus and make the plays they need to play.

798
00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 3: Because that came through in the clutch and honestly, Harden

799
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:12,000
Speaker 3: test he said he was gonna have his best playoffs ever.

800
00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:13,480
Speaker 2: I think he has.

801
00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:16,120
Speaker 3: He already has, like he had, just in a weird way.

802
00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:18,080
Speaker 3: Just in a weird way. He's had the most James

803
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:20,840
Speaker 3: Harden playoffs ever. He's got two game winners in this series,

804
00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:23,520
Speaker 3: and he's got two complete no shows in this series.

805
00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:25,799
Speaker 3: So I don't know where it goes from here. There

806
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:29,640
Speaker 3: are definitely things that can make each team look better.

807
00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:32,040
Speaker 3: I think it's encouraging for the Sixers that Embiid does

808
00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:34,560
Speaker 3: seem to be gaining strength a little bit as time

809
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:37,560
Speaker 3: goes on, though it is a problem him trying to

810
00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:39,560
Speaker 3: play over forty minutes a game. I don't know how

811
00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:41,799
Speaker 3: often that's gonna be able to happen. In Games five, six,

812
00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:44,960
Speaker 3: and seven. If we get there, but pulling this one

813
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:47,239
Speaker 3: out I thought was great for Philadelphia because if they

814
00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:49,080
Speaker 3: would have lost this, it's jover.

815
00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:51,840
Speaker 2: But now they got a chance. Yep. And the Celtics

816
00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:54,480
Speaker 2: did so many things well in specifically in the fourth

817
00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:56,480
Speaker 2: quarter when they got back in the game and took

818
00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:58,320
Speaker 2: the lead after they were a trailing in this one

819
00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:01,080
Speaker 2: that I'm almost shocked they didn't win. What did you

820
00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:04,120
Speaker 2: think though about Joe Mizula's decision to once again not

821
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:07,960
Speaker 2: call timeouts at the end of regulation, obviously at the

822
00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:09,839
Speaker 2: end of overtime where they don't even get a shot off.

823
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:11,520
Speaker 2: I mean, Smart hits the three, but it's like a

824
00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:14,239
Speaker 2: good half a second, if not a second, sort of late,

825
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:17,960
Speaker 2: and they had them to call, and he says, no,

826
00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:19,360
Speaker 2: just go we don't. I guess we don't want the

827
00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:22,520
Speaker 2: Sixers to sub in any defensive guys. And I trust

828
00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:24,479
Speaker 2: this unit enough, even though they sort of have shown

829
00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:27,640
Speaker 2: a couple times now, it's like, maybe maybe draw up

830
00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:30,000
Speaker 2: something here, Joe, because these are you're not even getting

831
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:30,759
Speaker 2: a look in this one.

832
00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:32,640
Speaker 1: Well, there's two times you can call a timeout. I'm

833
00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:34,960
Speaker 1: fine with him not calling the timeout as they go

834
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:37,080
Speaker 1: down the floor, but then when the play stalls. You

835
00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:38,920
Speaker 1: can call a timeout, right, that's when you do it.

836
00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:43,360
Speaker 1: And they've shown that they can make something out of

837
00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:47,160
Speaker 1: a non call. They did it last year against the

838
00:38:47,160 --> 00:38:50,799
Speaker 1: Brooklyn Nets when they won that game in Game one

839
00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:54,440
Speaker 1: in the first round of that playoff series. But his

840
00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:57,399
Speaker 1: old coach, Brad Stevens would always call a timeout when

841
00:38:57,400 --> 00:39:00,239
Speaker 1: things would are not his old coach, but his predeces. Sure,

842
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:03,120
Speaker 1: Brad Stevens would call when there was a dead, dead

843
00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:05,680
Speaker 1: play things weren't going well, call it then, right, But

844
00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:08,120
Speaker 1: I wouldn't fine with them bringing it down. You know,

845
00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:11,359
Speaker 1: they're they're like a what are they calling them now?

846
00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:14,400
Speaker 1: Just a you know, like a chaos offense, randomness offense.

847
00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:17,080
Speaker 1: So that's that's fine by me, But yeah, call it late.

848
00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:17,359
Speaker 1: I thought.

849
00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:20,520
Speaker 2: I'm guessing the Sixers are gonna be happy both times,

850
00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:22,520
Speaker 2: Marcus Smart being the one to try and beat them, though.

851
00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:24,279
Speaker 2: I mean, he got up a pretty good look on

852
00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:27,359
Speaker 2: the first one in regulation, he made the second one right,

853
00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:28,759
Speaker 2: and he did make the second one, but it didn't

854
00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:29,399
Speaker 2: get to him in time.

855
00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:32,080
Speaker 3: That's on Tatum to me more so than it is

856
00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:34,120
Speaker 3: on Joe Miszula. I agree, like, maybe you could have

857
00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:35,879
Speaker 3: called the time out when they brought the ball up

858
00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:38,000
Speaker 3: and Tatum just wasn't doing anything. There was like nine

859
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:39,680
Speaker 3: seconds you could have called the time out there. But

860
00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:42,680
Speaker 3: then Maxie gets subbed off, James Harden gets subbed off,

861
00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:44,960
Speaker 3: and those are the guys you're targeting in that situation.

862
00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:47,560
Speaker 3: They got a great look. It's just Tatum waited way

863
00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:50,160
Speaker 3: too long. He should have started going at eight seconds,

864
00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:52,680
Speaker 3: ten seconds something like that rather than five seconds, which

865
00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:55,040
Speaker 3: he did. And maybe he had a shot over Maxi.

866
00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:57,839
Speaker 3: He's got what six inches on Maxi. That's an easy

867
00:39:57,880 --> 00:40:01,720
Speaker 3: jumper he could have taken. But that just a poor

868
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:07,400
Speaker 3: clock recognition from Jason Tatum. Because even if even if

869
00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:09,920
Speaker 3: they get or even if they I don't know what

870
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:11,400
Speaker 3: I'm trying to say here, they need to get a

871
00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:14,759
Speaker 3: shot off earlier. That's one because you give yourself a

872
00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:16,880
Speaker 3: chance at the offensive rebound as well.

873
00:40:16,760 --> 00:40:18,799
Speaker 2: Or fouling them and putting them into the lining.

874
00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:21,880
Speaker 3: They made two bad plays in this game. One was

875
00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:24,479
Speaker 3: helping off Harden in the corner. That's on Jalen Brown.

876
00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:26,799
Speaker 3: That one's not on Joe Mizzoula. That's the one hundred

877
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:28,640
Speaker 3: percent a Jalen Brown call on the read there. And

878
00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:31,279
Speaker 3: then this one is one hundred percent on Tatum. Just

879
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:33,560
Speaker 3: waiting too long. There was nothing to it, Like, what

880
00:40:33,640 --> 00:40:36,040
Speaker 3: was Miszula going to do? Call up a play, probably

881
00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:37,480
Speaker 3: run the same play.

882
00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:41,560
Speaker 2: It's usually just do it usually starts in the back court.

883
00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:45,480
Speaker 2: We haven't seen that once yet. Come on, go toulled

884
00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:45,719
Speaker 2: it out.

885
00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:48,640
Speaker 1: It looked like they were running a play as if

886
00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:52,480
Speaker 1: they were tied rather than down one. Yeah, they were

887
00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:53,319
Speaker 1: just trying to milk it.

888
00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:57,359
Speaker 2: As you go early, you miss, you might get an offing,

889
00:40:58,280 --> 00:41:02,480
Speaker 2: you might get fouled, and and uh and even then

890
00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:06,120
Speaker 2: sixers grab the rebound, you foul, You still have a timeout.

891
00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:07,439
Speaker 2: They go to the so they go to the line.

892
00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:09,080
Speaker 2: They hit two, you still have a chance to tie

893
00:41:09,120 --> 00:41:10,799
Speaker 2: it with a three. They miss one. Obviously, you still

894
00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:12,160
Speaker 2: have a chance to win it or tie it because

895
00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:14,040
Speaker 2: you're advancing the ball of the time out. Yeah, it

896
00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:17,239
Speaker 2: was the waiting, waiting, waiting. It felt like they were like, oh,

897
00:41:17,239 --> 00:41:19,640
Speaker 2: we're tied here, so it's like, worst case we're going

898
00:41:19,640 --> 00:41:21,839
Speaker 2: to double overtimes. Like no, you're you're trailing after that

899
00:41:21,880 --> 00:41:24,239
Speaker 2: hard and three from the corner. I'm actually it's gonna

900
00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:26,240
Speaker 2: sound weird to say. I'm almost ecstatic that the Sixers

901
00:41:26,239 --> 00:41:29,080
Speaker 2: won this game, because there were two pretty controversial calls

902
00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:33,000
Speaker 2: that both went Boston's way where it was like, oh,

903
00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:34,560
Speaker 2: if they win this game and they're up three to one,

904
00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:36,400
Speaker 2: you know, Sixer stands would be going nuts, and rightfully

905
00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:40,399
Speaker 2: so I'm talking about where Embiid crashed into smart On

906
00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:43,120
Speaker 2: like that driving one handed bank shot with about a

907
00:41:43,120 --> 00:41:46,600
Speaker 2: minute fifty to go in overtime. It went in called

908
00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:49,440
Speaker 2: for an offensive foul. They review it, and the call

909
00:41:49,520 --> 00:41:51,400
Speaker 2: did stand. I don't know if you had thoughts on

910
00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:55,200
Speaker 2: that one smart outside of the restricted area leaning a

911
00:41:55,200 --> 00:42:00,080
Speaker 2: little bit, you're okay with them? The Tatum pushing.

912
00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:04,120
Speaker 1: Off, Oh yeah, nice chicken wing, come on, he.

913
00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:08,200
Speaker 2: Pushed off like like, I mean, the defenders. The defenders

914
00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:10,720
Speaker 2: already have the impossible task of trying to stop these guys.

915
00:42:11,120 --> 00:42:13,960
Speaker 2: You can't you can't create space like the old Matdio

916
00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:16,359
Speaker 2: chicken wing there or he sends him time. I mean,

917
00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:18,280
Speaker 2: that was the one that really pissed off Doc Rivers

918
00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:21,080
Speaker 2: a huge shot but only had space because he pushed

919
00:42:21,120 --> 00:42:23,480
Speaker 2: him off. Uh, and not like he's the only guy

920
00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:24,799
Speaker 2: in the league to do it. Don't get me wrong,

921
00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:27,040
Speaker 2: Hardened on the other side probably does it every second play.

922
00:42:27,080 --> 00:42:28,640
Speaker 2: But that was a that was a rough one, but

923
00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:30,239
Speaker 2: in the end it didn't matter. Sixers pull it out.

924
00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:33,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm just glad that the six are scrapped enough

925
00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:35,319
Speaker 1: to win one at home. That's all they really did.

926
00:42:35,680 --> 00:42:37,239
Speaker 1: They just weren't going to lose at home. They played

927
00:42:37,239 --> 00:42:41,560
Speaker 1: their two stars absolutely every second that they possibly could play,

928
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:46,680
Speaker 1: and they pulled out one and they have a chance

929
00:42:46,760 --> 00:42:50,279
Speaker 1: to go on the road the South. Yeah, they're not

930
00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:54,960
Speaker 1: playing their perfect game, that's absolutely for sure. And I

931
00:42:54,960 --> 00:42:57,399
Speaker 1: think they got away from guarding James Harden a little

932
00:42:57,400 --> 00:43:01,480
Speaker 1: bit better like they did in game three Games two

933
00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:04,919
Speaker 1: with more Jalen Brown. I think they left him out

934
00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:07,080
Speaker 1: on an island a little weight, a little too much.

935
00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:09,000
Speaker 1: And yeah, Hardin was cooking.

936
00:43:09,239 --> 00:43:11,319
Speaker 2: You've brought this up before too. I think I heard

937
00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:13,920
Speaker 2: even Jaalen Brown address it after this one. They really

938
00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:16,520
Speaker 2: go away from this guy down the stretch. I don't

939
00:43:16,520 --> 00:43:17,680
Speaker 2: have it in front of me, but he did not

940
00:43:17,800 --> 00:43:18,600
Speaker 2: have a lot of.

941
00:43:18,560 --> 00:43:22,239
Speaker 1: Attempts in the fourth court zero and ot.

942
00:43:22,600 --> 00:43:25,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know again he had another solid first out.

943
00:43:25,880 --> 00:43:27,239
Speaker 2: He said, it's on him a little bit. I gotta

944
00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:29,080
Speaker 2: be a little more active getting involved in and stuff.

945
00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:31,040
Speaker 2: Like that, and he's gonna trust his guys. I get it.

946
00:43:31,080 --> 00:43:35,280
Speaker 2: But I mean, he's played so well for a majority

947
00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:37,520
Speaker 2: of this series, but there are stretches where it's like

948
00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:39,160
Speaker 2: you don't even know he's out there offensively.

949
00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:42,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's pretty strange. He's a great scorer, he's not

950
00:43:42,160 --> 00:43:44,279
Speaker 3: a great playmaker. I'll say that for Brown, and his

951
00:43:44,719 --> 00:43:48,680
Speaker 3: handle can get a little loose. So I guess Missoula

952
00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:52,560
Speaker 3: just prefers Tatum's playmaking, and obviously he really trusts Marcus

953
00:43:52,560 --> 00:43:55,200
Speaker 3: Smart's playmaking as well. But I agree, you got a

954
00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:58,200
Speaker 3: Brown is an instrumental part of this team, and when

955
00:43:58,239 --> 00:44:00,880
Speaker 3: he's doing his defense to offense, I think the Celtics

956
00:44:00,880 --> 00:44:04,640
Speaker 3: look unbeatable. It's just important to keep him involved down

957
00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:06,839
Speaker 3: the stretch because it feels like it can just be

958
00:44:07,120 --> 00:44:09,840
Speaker 3: Tatum and Smart taking turns, and both of those guys

959
00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:13,280
Speaker 3: just makes him really weird place all things considered.

960
00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:15,600
Speaker 2: Uh, And just to put a bow on this one,

961
00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:18,840
Speaker 2: you said, like hardened two games winner in this series

962
00:44:18,840 --> 00:44:21,480
Speaker 2: Games one and Games four, and in between that the

963
00:44:21,560 --> 00:44:25,560
Speaker 2: worst two game shooting effort of his career, going five

964
00:44:25,600 --> 00:44:27,799
Speaker 2: of twenty eight in games two and three. So these

965
00:44:27,840 --> 00:44:31,240
Speaker 2: are like this series in four games, like four games

966
00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:34,640
Speaker 2: so far, he's had like maybe his greatest playoff moments

967
00:44:34,680 --> 00:44:39,480
Speaker 2: probably in two game winners, and his worst playoff game,

968
00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:42,439
Speaker 2: very weird in the middle, which is insane. But it's

969
00:44:42,440 --> 00:44:45,440
Speaker 2: the best of three series now, and the Celtics are

970
00:44:45,480 --> 00:44:47,839
Speaker 2: going to be kicking themselves if Harden has another one

971
00:44:47,880 --> 00:44:50,600
Speaker 2: in them, if there's an embied game still left somewhere.

972
00:44:50,600 --> 00:44:51,920
Speaker 2: You know, I know he's banged up here with the

973
00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:55,280
Speaker 2: knee and all that, because anything can happen. It feels

974
00:44:55,280 --> 00:44:56,560
Speaker 2: like I don't want to put words in your mouth,

975
00:44:56,600 --> 00:45:00,000
Speaker 2: but you maybe both of you feel pretty good still

976
00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:03,160
Speaker 2: about the Celtics' chances because they've looked like the better

977
00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:06,799
Speaker 2: team overall in this series and throughout the postseason, or

978
00:45:07,440 --> 00:45:09,560
Speaker 2: or no, am I wrong? I'm reading you wrong.

979
00:45:10,280 --> 00:45:15,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, they have home court advantage and they've looked like

980
00:45:15,200 --> 00:45:19,520
Speaker 1: the better team. Yeah, I'm yeah, Yeah, you agree.

981
00:45:20,120 --> 00:45:23,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, I still think the Celtics are the favorites here,

982
00:45:23,320 --> 00:45:26,000
Speaker 3: but they've had the game one loss with no Embeid

983
00:45:26,360 --> 00:45:28,680
Speaker 3: is like a major missed opportunity, and then last night

984
00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:31,719
Speaker 3: is or afternoon, I guess is a major missed opportunity

985
00:45:31,719 --> 00:45:33,680
Speaker 3: as well. Both of those games were winnable. This could

986
00:45:33,680 --> 00:45:37,080
Speaker 3: have easily been a Celtics sweep. Yeah, but fourth quarters

987
00:45:37,280 --> 00:45:41,120
Speaker 3: can be a problem for Boston and maybe that's the

988
00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:43,640
Speaker 3: case going forward. Like that's always the worry with the

989
00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:47,600
Speaker 3: Celtics is the mental game. The mental game just seems

990
00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:49,280
Speaker 3: to elude them a little bit when things get.

991
00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:51,759
Speaker 2: Tough a little bit. But uh, cool stuff from James Harden.

992
00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:56,240
Speaker 3: He brought in John how the victim from the MSU shooting,

993
00:45:56,360 --> 00:45:59,160
Speaker 3: and you could tell it actually meant something to James Harden.

994
00:45:59,320 --> 00:46:01,560
Speaker 3: He was like grinning ear to ear after the game,

995
00:46:01,600 --> 00:46:03,879
Speaker 3: getting to sit next to him and talk about how

996
00:46:03,960 --> 00:46:05,759
Speaker 3: much of a good luck charm he had been ask

997
00:46:05,880 --> 00:46:07,759
Speaker 3: him to come back for Game six, Like you never

998
00:46:07,760 --> 00:46:09,799
Speaker 3: see that kind of a smile on Harden's face. That

999
00:46:09,960 --> 00:46:13,000
Speaker 3: was interesting to see. Also, he mentioned that Doc Rivers

1000
00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:16,120
Speaker 3: sent him a seven and a half minute gospel song

1001
00:46:16,280 --> 00:46:19,560
Speaker 3: you Know My Name by Tasha Cobb Leonard, so he

1002
00:46:19,680 --> 00:46:24,320
Speaker 3: just turned it on with his boys. He the Hobes

1003
00:46:24,600 --> 00:46:27,799
Speaker 3: just put on this seven minute gospel song. And I'm

1004
00:46:27,840 --> 00:46:30,560
Speaker 3: just thinking, James Harden is good friends with Little Baby.

1005
00:46:31,200 --> 00:46:33,080
Speaker 3: You think Little Baby and James Harden were just sitting

1006
00:46:33,080 --> 00:46:39,600
Speaker 3: around listening to you know ma name just keeps going

1007
00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:42,719
Speaker 3: and going. Little babies like James, what are we listening to?

1008
00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:44,399
Speaker 1: We're not turning it off?

1009
00:46:44,920 --> 00:46:51,040
Speaker 2: That sent me this remix. That was awesome. Yea happy

1010
00:46:51,120 --> 00:46:53,839
Speaker 2: James Harden there after an incredible performance man in Game

1011
00:46:53,880 --> 00:46:57,080
Speaker 2: four there and two two series uh Game five pivotal

1012
00:46:57,440 --> 00:47:00,960
Speaker 2: coming up soon later this week on Tuesday, the other

1013
00:47:01,480 --> 00:47:03,920
Speaker 2: final I guess playoff series to talk about just briefly here.

1014
00:47:03,920 --> 00:47:06,720
Speaker 2: Maybe Jimmy Butler scored twenty eight as the Heat crushed

1015
00:47:06,719 --> 00:47:08,799
Speaker 2: the Knicks one O five to eighty six and they

1016
00:47:08,800 --> 00:47:11,120
Speaker 2: got the two one series lead Game four tonight.

1017
00:47:11,840 --> 00:47:15,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, this one is the one that's hanging by a thread.

1018
00:47:15,080 --> 00:47:17,360
Speaker 1: The Knicks got to turn it up in quarter number

1019
00:47:17,360 --> 00:47:20,680
Speaker 1: one here in game four or else this one is over.

1020
00:47:20,840 --> 00:47:24,439
Speaker 1: And because the Heat have them playing right into their hands,

1021
00:47:24,480 --> 00:47:28,560
Speaker 1: playing to bad matchups, Randall going at Bam and Barrett

1022
00:47:28,560 --> 00:47:33,640
Speaker 1: going at Butler. They're not trusting the pass, and you know,

1023
00:47:33,640 --> 00:47:35,919
Speaker 1: maybe Randall's banged up. He looked like a different guy

1024
00:47:35,960 --> 00:47:40,600
Speaker 1: from from game two to Game three, totally different. And

1025
00:47:41,080 --> 00:47:44,759
Speaker 1: Brunson also hobbling around out there. But they didn't hit

1026
00:47:44,760 --> 00:47:46,600
Speaker 1: a shot in the paint until midway through the or

1027
00:47:46,640 --> 00:47:50,320
Speaker 1: outside the paint. Excuse me until midway through the second quarter.

1028
00:47:50,360 --> 00:47:52,520
Speaker 1: I mean, they just they just don't know what's going

1029
00:47:52,560 --> 00:47:54,759
Speaker 1: on out there. They're just not playing like themselves. They're

1030
00:47:54,800 --> 00:47:59,280
Speaker 1: not again trusting the pass. Heat switched up their matchups.

1031
00:47:59,320 --> 00:48:02,279
Speaker 1: It's up to Tip now play a shooter out there

1032
00:48:02,480 --> 00:48:04,560
Speaker 1: with Clint Grimes instead of Josh Hart, because they're not

1033
00:48:04,640 --> 00:48:08,319
Speaker 1: covering Josh Hart whatsoever. Or Randall's just got to be

1034
00:48:08,320 --> 00:48:12,880
Speaker 1: better at deciding what he's doing. And it's kind of

1035
00:48:12,880 --> 00:48:15,360
Speaker 1: on Randall and I think a shooter would help. But

1036
00:48:15,440 --> 00:48:19,200
Speaker 1: this one is the one that's basically what the Knicks

1037
00:48:19,239 --> 00:48:21,440
Speaker 1: did to the Calves. The Heater doing to the Knicks,

1038
00:48:21,480 --> 00:48:24,480
Speaker 1: forcing them into the wrong spots, and they gotta play better.

1039
00:48:24,600 --> 00:48:27,040
Speaker 2: And the shooters can't shoot. That's a huge problem here.

1040
00:48:27,080 --> 00:48:29,719
Speaker 3: The Heater shooting thirty percent from three in this series,

1041
00:48:29,760 --> 00:48:31,839
Speaker 3: and they're winning the three point battle because New York

1042
00:48:31,880 --> 00:48:34,399
Speaker 3: is shooting twenty seven percent. Even Grimes can't hit. He's

1043
00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:36,640
Speaker 3: two for nine so far in this series. Quickly went

1044
00:48:36,640 --> 00:48:38,960
Speaker 3: out last night. He has been a disappointment in the

1045
00:48:38,960 --> 00:48:42,239
Speaker 3: playoffs so far. Josh Hart, they're willing to gamble with him,

1046
00:48:42,280 --> 00:48:44,759
Speaker 3: and then it's just packed the paint, it's Brunton, or

1047
00:48:44,800 --> 00:48:46,680
Speaker 3: it's Randall. Like you said, a lot of times, they

1048
00:48:46,719 --> 00:48:49,960
Speaker 3: are attacking against the heat's best defenders. Certainly New York

1049
00:48:50,040 --> 00:48:52,480
Speaker 3: could be a little bit more diligent about attacking the

1050
00:48:52,600 --> 00:48:56,359
Speaker 3: right mismatches, But it feels like it's gonna come down

1051
00:48:56,360 --> 00:48:58,520
Speaker 3: to a one on one game, and then if that's

1052
00:48:58,560 --> 00:49:00,920
Speaker 3: the case, you're gonna be signing with Jimmy Butler. Despite

1053
00:49:00,920 --> 00:49:03,440
Speaker 3: the fact that Jalen Brunson has been lights out so

1054
00:49:03,520 --> 00:49:06,640
Speaker 3: far in this playoffs. It just feels like if you're

1055
00:49:06,680 --> 00:49:09,640
Speaker 3: relying on Tom Thibodeau to come through with some offensive creativity,

1056
00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:12,520
Speaker 3: you're gonna be in trouble because that has been Tom

1057
00:49:12,560 --> 00:49:15,319
Speaker 3: Thibodeau's offense as long as I've known about him as

1058
00:49:15,360 --> 00:49:17,120
Speaker 3: an NBA coach. Give it to a guard and let

1059
00:49:17,200 --> 00:49:20,520
Speaker 3: him go cook. They're not cooking in this game, right.

1060
00:49:20,600 --> 00:49:22,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll see here. Randall has to have a much

1061
00:49:22,560 --> 00:49:24,400
Speaker 2: much better game than Game three. He had one of

1062
00:49:24,400 --> 00:49:27,040
Speaker 2: his brutal ones ten points, four to fifteen shooting, didn't

1063
00:49:27,120 --> 00:49:29,440
Speaker 2: hit a three, not that anyone really could. I think

1064
00:49:29,480 --> 00:49:32,759
Speaker 2: they shot eight to forty as a team in Game three.

1065
00:49:32,840 --> 00:49:36,120
Speaker 2: The Knicks did twenty percent. If my math is right there,

1066
00:49:36,239 --> 00:49:39,399
Speaker 2: that is that's a whole lot of missus from deep

1067
00:49:39,480 --> 00:49:41,160
Speaker 2: and tray. You're right, it's not like the Heat are

1068
00:49:41,200 --> 00:49:42,960
Speaker 2: like lighting it up on the other side of it.

1069
00:49:43,160 --> 00:49:45,759
Speaker 2: I mean, they shot twenty two percent from three, but

1070
00:49:45,800 --> 00:49:49,440
Speaker 2: still somehow better big one for the knickt tonight. They

1071
00:49:49,440 --> 00:49:52,080
Speaker 2: need their stars there in Randall and Brunson to come through,

1072
00:49:52,160 --> 00:49:54,000
Speaker 2: and they need like those top and corner threes to

1073
00:49:54,040 --> 00:49:55,919
Speaker 2: go or heart to let them fire me a couple

1074
00:49:55,920 --> 00:49:57,680
Speaker 2: in game three. They got to knock those down. They're

1075
00:49:57,680 --> 00:50:01,840
Speaker 2: not gonna win these games shooting four percent from the field,

1076
00:50:02,080 --> 00:50:04,239
Speaker 2: but series on the line. The only other question I

1077
00:50:04,280 --> 00:50:07,640
Speaker 2: have from all of these games over the weekend, has

1078
00:50:07,680 --> 00:50:11,680
Speaker 2: a clear championship favorite emerged to either of you guys?

1079
00:50:12,360 --> 00:50:15,279
Speaker 2: Or is this thing still like wildly up in the air.

1080
00:50:16,440 --> 00:50:18,080
Speaker 1: I think it's up in the air. Yeah, I think

1081
00:50:18,160 --> 00:50:19,759
Speaker 1: seven of eight teams could win. It doesn't look like

1082
00:50:19,760 --> 00:50:21,360
Speaker 1: the Knicks can win it, but I think I think

1083
00:50:21,400 --> 00:50:23,719
Speaker 1: all the rest of them can win it. Okay, I

1084
00:50:23,760 --> 00:50:26,560
Speaker 1: think that's legitimate. I think this is this is fantastic

1085
00:50:26,560 --> 00:50:27,759
Speaker 1: stuff we got going on here.

1086
00:50:27,840 --> 00:50:30,000
Speaker 3: It feels very up in the air. In fact, I've

1087
00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:32,160
Speaker 3: got one reason why every team won't win the title.

1088
00:50:32,600 --> 00:50:34,839
Speaker 3: Why they won't, why they will not. Okay, no team

1089
00:50:34,880 --> 00:50:37,919
Speaker 3: can win the championship right now. I've organized these one

1090
00:50:37,960 --> 00:50:40,160
Speaker 3: through eight. We've got one through eight still left in

1091
00:50:40,200 --> 00:50:42,680
Speaker 3: the playoffs right now. The one seed Denver Nuggets one

1092
00:50:42,680 --> 00:50:43,479
Speaker 3: and three on the road.

1093
00:50:43,960 --> 00:50:44,360
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1094
00:50:44,520 --> 00:50:47,080
Speaker 3: Two seed Boston Celtics. They always do dumb stuff and

1095
00:50:47,080 --> 00:50:50,000
Speaker 3: collapse in the fourth quarter. True free seed the Philadelphia

1096
00:50:50,000 --> 00:50:52,560
Speaker 3: seventy six ers. They've played eight games and they have

1097
00:50:52,600 --> 00:50:55,320
Speaker 3: one Joe ell embiid injury and two James Harden no shows.

1098
00:50:55,600 --> 00:50:59,400
Speaker 3: Phoenix Suns, two good players. New York Knicks can't make threes.

1099
00:51:00,400 --> 00:51:04,360
Speaker 3: Golden State Warriors stinky on the road. Los Angeles Lakers,

1100
00:51:04,440 --> 00:51:07,120
Speaker 3: a seventh seed, has never made the NBA finals. Miami

1101
00:51:07,120 --> 00:51:08,600
Speaker 3: Heat playing team has never.

1102
00:51:08,480 --> 00:51:12,919
Speaker 2: Won the NBA finals. Okay, no championship this year. They're

1103
00:51:12,920 --> 00:51:14,879
Speaker 2: just gonna run it over. They'll play for two next year,

1104
00:51:15,600 --> 00:51:18,520
Speaker 2: Skins game. Wow, just play for two next year. Okay.

1105
00:51:18,560 --> 00:51:21,040
Speaker 2: It does feel still wide open. I agree with you guys,

1106
00:51:21,080 --> 00:51:23,600
Speaker 2: but you tell us has a clear championship favorite emerged

1107
00:51:23,800 --> 00:51:25,960
Speaker 2: after you know, three or four games in a lot

1108
00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:29,200
Speaker 2: of these series because I also love Now we're at

1109
00:51:29,239 --> 00:51:30,880
Speaker 2: the point and we even saw it with the Jokic

1110
00:51:31,120 --> 00:51:34,560
Speaker 2: ishba a little bit. We're gonna get into hijakes season

1111
00:51:34,600 --> 00:51:36,440
Speaker 2: here now. Now these teams have played each other for

1112
00:51:36,480 --> 00:51:39,160
Speaker 2: a couple of games. I'm tired of you. You're tired

1113
00:51:39,200 --> 00:51:42,080
Speaker 2: of me. You know, the pushing gets a little more extra,

1114
00:51:42,440 --> 00:51:44,919
Speaker 2: you know, maybe he's you know, tempers flare a little

1115
00:51:44,960 --> 00:51:46,839
Speaker 2: bit more because you're just just like, I can't stand

1116
00:51:46,840 --> 00:51:49,239
Speaker 2: playing this guy anymore. Always starts to happen around this

1117
00:51:49,320 --> 00:51:51,960
Speaker 2: time in a series, especially in these ones, where it

1118
00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:53,960
Speaker 2: feels like anyone could go on to win this not

1119
00:51:54,000 --> 00:51:55,719
Speaker 2: only the series, but maybe the whole thing. So I'm

1120
00:51:55,760 --> 00:51:58,160
Speaker 2: excited to see what happens this week. Let's take our

1121
00:51:58,200 --> 00:52:00,719
Speaker 2: final break when we come back tweeted the night, don't

1122
00:52:00,719 --> 00:52:03,920
Speaker 2: go anywhere before we get to tweeted the night. A

1123
00:52:03,960 --> 00:52:05,800
Speaker 2: tweet just came through the people were pointing out in

1124
00:52:05,840 --> 00:52:10,360
Speaker 2: the stream Team Matt Ishbia tweeting his thoughts on the incident.

1125
00:52:10,960 --> 00:52:13,480
Speaker 2: He wants Yokic suspended for eighty git not just kidding.

1126
00:52:13,520 --> 00:52:15,560
Speaker 2: He wrote, great win for the Suns last night in

1127
00:52:15,560 --> 00:52:18,319
Speaker 2: an amazing series so far that should be and is

1128
00:52:18,320 --> 00:52:22,439
Speaker 2: the only story. Suspending or finding anyone over last night's

1129
00:52:22,520 --> 00:52:24,960
Speaker 2: incident would not be right. I have a lot of

1130
00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:26,960
Speaker 2: respect for yokch and I don't want to see anything

1131
00:52:27,040 --> 00:52:30,440
Speaker 2: like that excited for Game five Ghost Suns. Respect that

1132
00:52:30,560 --> 00:52:35,000
Speaker 2: should help, should help the case here for not suspending

1133
00:52:36,040 --> 00:52:38,360
Speaker 2: Jokic at the very least. I don't know about fines,

1134
00:52:39,040 --> 00:52:43,960
Speaker 2: but at least not suspending him. Oum Young Missuck.

1135
00:52:44,080 --> 00:52:48,560
Speaker 3: I think had a report after the incident last night,

1136
00:52:48,600 --> 00:52:50,279
Speaker 3: but before the game was over. He said he went

1137
00:52:50,320 --> 00:52:52,400
Speaker 3: and tried to talk to Matt Ishbia about it, and

1138
00:52:52,480 --> 00:52:54,719
Speaker 3: Ishbia didn't want to say anything about it. So he's

1139
00:52:54,760 --> 00:52:57,360
Speaker 3: definitely trying to keep the focus on the Suns winning,

1140
00:52:57,480 --> 00:53:00,400
Speaker 3: extending the series, tying things up to too.

1141
00:53:01,200 --> 00:53:05,600
Speaker 4: So hopefully that is the case it should be. Says

1142
00:53:05,600 --> 00:53:08,760
Speaker 4: hey see this sweet. That's their statement, then they release

1143
00:53:08,880 --> 00:53:11,600
Speaker 4: check the tweets. The tweets, All right, let's get to

1144
00:53:11,600 --> 00:53:12,759
Speaker 4: the actual tweet.

1145
00:53:12,520 --> 00:53:13,000
Speaker 2: Of the night.

1146
00:53:15,160 --> 00:53:20,759
Speaker 1: Tweet of the night Wow tweet and Night comes from

1147
00:53:20,760 --> 00:53:25,240
Speaker 1: the seventy six ers backstory. In February, gunman opened fire

1148
00:53:25,280 --> 00:53:30,160
Speaker 1: at Michigan State University, shot and killed three people and

1149
00:53:30,239 --> 00:53:33,920
Speaker 1: injured others. One of those people was John Howe, an

1150
00:53:34,080 --> 00:53:40,000
Speaker 1: international student from China. John Howe openly excited about being

1151
00:53:40,000 --> 00:53:43,120
Speaker 1: a James Harden fan, and so Harden reached out immediately

1152
00:53:43,160 --> 00:53:47,400
Speaker 1: after and contacted him in hospital. Was his FaceTime friend.

1153
00:53:47,480 --> 00:53:50,640
Speaker 1: They created a relationship and Harden told him if he

1154
00:53:50,719 --> 00:53:54,319
Speaker 1: was healthy enough, he needed to join him in the playoffs. Well,

1155
00:53:54,360 --> 00:53:56,799
Speaker 1: he brought him to Game four and after the win,

1156
00:53:57,840 --> 00:53:59,480
Speaker 1: we got a clip here of hard and talking to

1157
00:53:59,480 --> 00:54:01,880
Speaker 1: how in his fan only about coming to game six

1158
00:54:02,280 --> 00:54:06,520
Speaker 1: in Philly. Game six, you come back.

1159
00:54:07,480 --> 00:54:08,880
Speaker 2: I don't know what you got going on with your

1160
00:54:08,920 --> 00:54:10,279
Speaker 2: schedules in game six.

1161
00:54:10,320 --> 00:54:12,320
Speaker 1: You got to be back here because you had a

1162
00:54:12,320 --> 00:54:14,279
Speaker 1: good luck. For real. I just never think about it.

1163
00:54:14,280 --> 00:54:17,680
Speaker 1: Thank you, no, thank you? Thank you? Nah?

1164
00:54:18,200 --> 00:54:19,799
Speaker 2: Have we talked about that time every day? Right?

1165
00:54:19,960 --> 00:54:20,160
Speaker 1: Yeah?

1166
00:54:20,200 --> 00:54:22,480
Speaker 2: Every day there is opportunity to get better, get me.

1167

Speaker 1: Yeah, good story there coming out of it. A horrific story.

1176
00:54:45,560 --> 00:54:49,160
Speaker 1: But James Harden definitely wants some wants John to show

1177
