Have some characters on that team, 54 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,799 Speaker 2: Blake and dj alone, like dj CP with his little 55 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,360 Speaker 2: sneak diss and Jamal his little funny ass JJ. 56 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:33,160 Speaker 3: That would have been a good one. Stephen A. 57 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:35,840 Speaker 2: Smith Shaw I went out there while you was busy 58 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:40,399 Speaker 2: in Virginia to talk to him and check his temperature. 59 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:42,800 Speaker 3: And he said, when he sees you on side, he's 60 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:48,320 Speaker 3: smacking you. I cannot wait, I cannot wait. I'm looking 61 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:49,799 Speaker 3: dead in this camera way. 62 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:52,080 Speaker 4: No, he just said he wanted to talk to you. 63 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:52,400 Speaker 3: That's it. 64 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:54,000 Speaker 2: He said he was a little mad mad at you, 65 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:55,639 Speaker 2: but he still got love for you. He's got love 66 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:57,640 Speaker 2: for us, still wants to see do well. Obviously, I 67 00:02:57,639 --> 00:02:59,040 Speaker 2: went out there and kind of, you know, said what 68 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,320 Speaker 2: our issues were, and he explained the side and you know, 69 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:07,080 Speaker 2: I'm again I've been a big fan of him and 70 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 2: known it for a long time and obviously don't agree 71 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 2: with everything he says, but at the end of the day, 72 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:15,120 Speaker 2: like I know him well enough to know that he 73 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:17,919 Speaker 2: means well. You guys have kind of had a little 74 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,240 Speaker 2: back and forth, which is which which makes it good, 75 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:21,919 Speaker 2: you know, because we are a duo on the team, 76 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 2: but we're also individual. So at some point if you 77 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 2: all decide to sit down, Nope, that'll be interesting. Since 78 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,400 Speaker 2: we've last conversated, some teams have been eliminated. 79 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 4: The Clippers have gone. 80 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 2: Down, which was you know, my pick at the beginning 81 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 2: of the year to represent the Western Conference, and it 82 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 2: wouldn't banned that we all thought they would do. So 83 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 2: with that ross health health health has been the key. 84 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,000 Speaker 2: They lost in six to Dallas, and we'll get to 85 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:50,920 Speaker 2: them a little bit. But co I only played two games, 86 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 2: average twelve points in those games. Both losses hard and 87 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 2: PG struggled. Russ struggled hard. As a free agent, Paul 88 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:01,680 Speaker 2: George has a forty eight million dollar player option. 89 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:03,840 Speaker 4: Russ has a smaller player option. 90 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:08,280 Speaker 2: Kawhi just extended three years one fifty so he's about 91 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:10,600 Speaker 2: fifty million a year going into this new arena. Jack, 92 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 2: what do you see also I think Tylu is a 93 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 2: free agent from the coaching side, because I'm here talks 94 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:20,520 Speaker 2: to him possibly going down the hallway Clippers. Overall, pg's staying, 95 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,600 Speaker 2: are going hard and staring tore going. Are we ever 96 00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:25,039 Speaker 2: going to see a healthy Kawhi again? 97 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,359 Speaker 3: That's that's the big question. I mean, I think you 98 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:29,039 Speaker 3: can't predict that. 99 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:32,479 Speaker 1: I mean, Tylu made a joke that he made a 100 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,240 Speaker 1: joke that he going back to lower management because he 101 00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:38,159 Speaker 1: missed so many games. But I think it's it's a 102 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 1: perfect time with the situation, contract situations with everybody, it's 103 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 1: perfect time to break it up. It's a perfect time 104 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:45,920 Speaker 1: you going into a new arena. You might as well 105 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 1: just try to start new. This ain't working, you know, 106 00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:50,800 Speaker 1: you might just try to get new and try to 107 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 1: try to offload Kawhi if you can. You know, James 108 00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,880 Speaker 1: Hard as a free agent, Paul's definitely gonna opt out 109 00:04:57,880 --> 00:04:59,359 Speaker 1: because this teams just want to throw him in the 110 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 1: bag right now. So this is the perfect time to 111 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,279 Speaker 1: go into that new arena, new coach, new team, and 112 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 1: just try something new. 113 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 4: Change the team name while you're at it. No bullshit. 114 00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,479 Speaker 2: But I mean, I think the interesting person on the 115 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:15,200 Speaker 2: roster to me is obviously Kawhi being healthy and if 116 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:16,720 Speaker 2: we're gonna get a chance to see that, because I 117 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:18,760 Speaker 2: think he played and I don't want to mistake he 118 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:20,120 Speaker 2: played a lot of games this year. I know he 119 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:22,240 Speaker 2: didn't sit out very much, but when they needed him 120 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,960 Speaker 2: the most of the playoffs, he wasn't there. But Paul George, 121 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:29,920 Speaker 2: you know, there's talks of Indiana, uh shit, the Nicks. 122 00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,240 Speaker 2: You're hearing a lot of different things. Obviously this is 123 00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,560 Speaker 2: all speculation right now, but I think Paul George could 124 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 2: be the one guy if he decides to leave. You know, 125 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 2: teams are still gonna throw him good money, so it'd 126 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:40,840 Speaker 2: be interesting to see where he lands if he. 127 00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:43,279 Speaker 4: Does decide to leave. 128 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,880 Speaker 2: But again, all three shit, all four of those guys 129 00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:47,720 Speaker 2: we mentioned are at home, you know what I mean, 130 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:49,480 Speaker 2: So there ain't no telling them if they want to 131 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,040 Speaker 2: try to see Hey, let's try one Moey. They just 132 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:54,320 Speaker 2: haven't been healthy. We haven't seen both these they're both 133 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:55,680 Speaker 2: their stars healthy at the right time. 134 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:57,760 Speaker 1: So what if one of those guys go to the 135 00:05:57,800 --> 00:05:59,440 Speaker 1: other locker room? 136 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:00,920 Speaker 3: Look at it goal with locker room. 137 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:02,680 Speaker 2: Well, if you remember, if you were calling, we had 138 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:03,919 Speaker 2: were I think we were talking about this in our 139 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:04,880 Speaker 2: group chat the other day. 140 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 4: Doc Rivers did not want to trade SGA. 141 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:12,040 Speaker 2: For Paul George, and I think that would have if 142 00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 2: it didn't happen, it would have killed the trade and 143 00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:18,560 Speaker 2: Kawhi allegedly would have went to the Lakers. But I 144 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,200 Speaker 2: remember Doc was really adamant about everything they had to 145 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:22,640 Speaker 2: give up first and foremost, but he. 146 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:24,040 Speaker 3: Knew Shay was going to be a star. 147 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,680 Speaker 2: So it's been some you know, some some management moves 148 00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:30,640 Speaker 2: on both those LA teams, uh in the front office 149 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:33,520 Speaker 2: that kind of have hindered teams in the past. Hand 150 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:37,320 Speaker 2: for the years Milwaukee. Speaking of Doc Rivers losing six 151 00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:42,400 Speaker 2: no Yiannis, which is we knew they weren't going to 152 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,160 Speaker 2: do anything without him and going into that. Those cast 153 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 2: strains are dangerous, and I think they saw what happened 154 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:50,280 Speaker 2: with KD with KD trying to push through a calf 155 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:52,040 Speaker 2: strain and he tore his achilles when he was with 156 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,159 Speaker 2: Golden State, So I think they aired on the side 157 00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:55,560 Speaker 2: of caution, which was very smart. 158 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:58,920 Speaker 3: I think they should have played the nasties more minutes. 159 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,680 Speaker 3: I mean, it's the closest thing to be honest. 160 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:07,119 Speaker 2: Like DNA wise, yes, okay, can't get the worse Thanname. 161 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:07,880 Speaker 4: Dame was hurt. 162 00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:09,600 Speaker 2: Dame was in and now, but played well while he 163 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 2: was in there. A tough first season for Dame in 164 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,400 Speaker 2: Milwaukee for the first time. You know, we hear him 165 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:17,960 Speaker 2: mention the off the court stuff, and Dame has always 166 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:19,760 Speaker 2: been so locked in in one of the blessed players 167 00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:21,559 Speaker 2: this league has seen since he's came in the league. 168 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:25,120 Speaker 2: But divorce ain't easy, you know, and then moving across 169 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:27,040 Speaker 2: the country away from your kids on top of it, 170 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:28,680 Speaker 2: so I can only imagine. 171 00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:29,480 Speaker 3: You know, what he was going through. 172 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:32,800 Speaker 2: Hopefully he comes back well, arrested mentally and physically and 173 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 2: stronger next year. Doc Rivers got this big deal. This 174 00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 2: team was thirty and thirteen when Doc took over. Under Doc, 175 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:49,360 Speaker 2: they were nineteen and twenty three. So obviously Doc gets 176 00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:51,440 Speaker 2: a pass now without their best player being there. But 177 00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:53,800 Speaker 2: for some reason, he keeps getting these opportunities with a 178 00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:55,600 Speaker 2: lot of these teams with a lot of talent and 179 00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 2: hasn't necessarily produced. I mean, when Giannis was there, they 180 00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:01,280 Speaker 2: still were hovering around five hundred. 181 00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:04,000 Speaker 4: So what do you think the outlook for this team is? 182 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,920 Speaker 2: I mean, Lopez is getting older, Porters is getting older, 183 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:09,120 Speaker 2: Middleton look is getting older. All these guys looked a 184 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:12,960 Speaker 2: little old during this run. That young Indiana team came 185 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:15,080 Speaker 2: in there and up the pace and played their game. 186 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:19,440 Speaker 2: Is it time for this team to blow up as well? 187 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:21,160 Speaker 3: Let me makes you a serious question. 188 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:26,520 Speaker 1: How long did we think just running downhill full speed 189 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:30,040 Speaker 1: dominating was gonna last? You know what I'm saying? Like 190 00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:32,960 Speaker 1: his game never evolved. Gianna's game has been the same. 191 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,240 Speaker 1: He's gotten stronger and bigger since he came into the league. 192 00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:36,720 Speaker 1: As far as this game wise, it's. 193 00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,160 Speaker 2: Evolved, I definitely think it's evolved, but I think his 194 00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:41,319 Speaker 2: main thing has been his main thing and going downhill, 195 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 2: I would say. 196 00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:44,600 Speaker 1: I would say if he starts shooting threes like he 197 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:47,319 Speaker 1: always been the guy that attack downhill one two dunk 198 00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:49,559 Speaker 1: and he's just been getting stronger and more smarter over 199 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:51,400 Speaker 1: the years. But this game is like the skill wise 200 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:54,160 Speaker 1: has not went nowhere. So that's only gonna take you 201 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,520 Speaker 1: so far. So when he when he started to get 202 00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:59,200 Speaker 1: hurt like this, the way he plays, it's gonna continue 203 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:01,720 Speaker 1: to happen, bro because he's getting older. So what do 204 00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:03,400 Speaker 1: y'all think? Y'all gonna go from here. You know what 205 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:05,280 Speaker 1: I'm saying, Bring it doc in That ain't gonna change nothing. 206 00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:07,839 Speaker 1: Yan is getting older. You see Damee being hurt more. 207 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:11,040 Speaker 1: Now you got Poortis, you got Lopez. All these guys 208 00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:13,120 Speaker 1: are up the tage. You know what I'm saying. But 209 00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:14,839 Speaker 1: Middleton is not a guy that you that you can 210 00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:16,560 Speaker 1: just win with byicef. He's not a guy you can 211 00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:18,319 Speaker 1: plug two guys, you know what I mean. Like so 212 00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:21,800 Speaker 1: it's it's it's a big decision making time for them, Matt, 213 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:25,040 Speaker 1: because they can this This can keep them in a 214 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,880 Speaker 1: in a stagnan place for three four years or you 215 00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:29,360 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. They can try to make some 216 00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:31,440 Speaker 1: changes now you know what I mean, just to stay 217 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:32,760 Speaker 1: in the winning in the winning percentage. 218 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,200 Speaker 2: It just showed you how fast your window can close. Right, 219 00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:37,680 Speaker 2: You thought one player they won a championship, and you 220 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:39,560 Speaker 2: thought they'd have a window to make a little run. 221 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:43,240 Speaker 2: And that ship shut before it before before you. 222 00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:46,679 Speaker 4: Knew it, it was shut. Not a ton of assets. 223 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:50,480 Speaker 2: That trade for Holiday for for for Dame was a 224 00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:54,199 Speaker 2: very interesting trade that you know, sometimes they don't work out, 225 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:56,200 Speaker 2: and obviously you can't judge something off the first year. 226 00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:58,280 Speaker 2: You know you're gonna be You're gonna take dang though, 227 00:09:58,400 --> 00:09:59,959 Speaker 2: but you are gonna take them. But you I think 228 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:03,400 Speaker 2: they also or misunderstood how much Drew meant to that team. 229 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,400 Speaker 2: You know, first team on defense, someone that took the 230 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:08,760 Speaker 2: best guard every time, someone who hit big shots in 231 00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:13,440 Speaker 2: the clutch when Middleton or Jiannis wasn't there working. Holliday 232 00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:15,480 Speaker 2: was someone who stepped up. So I definitely think that 233 00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 2: trade on the defensive end slowed that team down. 234 00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:20,240 Speaker 3: So we'll see. 235 00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:25,320 Speaker 2: Moving on though, to Dallas and what Kyrie Irving has 236 00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:28,640 Speaker 2: been doing, only averaging twenty seven points on fifty two 237 00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:31,440 Speaker 2: to forty five eighty five splits. First, the Clippers in 238 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:33,240 Speaker 2: the first round looked like a man on a mission. 239 00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:36,959 Speaker 2: Let's compare. First of all, let's just talk about the 240 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:41,000 Speaker 2: way he played in this first round, So just super confident. 241 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:41,680 Speaker 3: I think. 242 00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:46,079 Speaker 1: J Kid has given him the confidence just go out 243 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,440 Speaker 1: there and be Kyrie. I think's big that people not 244 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:51,079 Speaker 1: talking about is how he's competing on the defensive end. 245 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:54,319 Speaker 1: He shut James down, you know what I'm saying. You know, 246 00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:56,120 Speaker 1: people try to talk about how they had beef and 247 00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:58,360 Speaker 1: all that, but he spoke on it in the press conference. 248 00:10:58,400 --> 00:10:59,959 Speaker 1: I they have respect for each other, but they love 249 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:03,120 Speaker 1: to compete, and Kyrie played his ass off on defense, 250 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:04,400 Speaker 1: and so that kind of oh, you know, I mean, 251 00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:06,679 Speaker 1: I'm a defensive guy, so I know he can score. 252 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:08,480 Speaker 1: I know he's probably the most skilled person we've ever 253 00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 1: seen with the basketball, But defensively wise, I think that's 254 00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:13,480 Speaker 1: why they were able to win that series in such 255 00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:16,200 Speaker 1: a decisive manner, because they took the challenge on the 256 00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 1: defensive side. 257 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:19,720 Speaker 2: I don't think I've seen Kyrie play this well, and 258 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:22,280 Speaker 2: it's for the reason you said his his he stepped 259 00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:24,960 Speaker 2: up on the defensive end. He's really put that work 260 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,760 Speaker 2: in on the defensive end, and it showed this series. 261 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:30,000 Speaker 2: And as you said, one of the most skilled guys 262 00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:32,720 Speaker 2: we've ever seen with the ball, which brings me to 263 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:36,160 Speaker 2: this this comparison. You know, obviously he worked well with 264 00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:39,360 Speaker 2: Braun in Cleveland, and you know, some lips say Lucas 265 00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:43,439 Speaker 2: in the mold of bron and their chemistry and understanding 266 00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:45,959 Speaker 2: of each other's game and this small amount of time 267 00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:49,000 Speaker 2: they've been together, they they're the scariest duo in basketball 268 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:51,320 Speaker 2: that's left in the playoffs right now. I would say 269 00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:56,840 Speaker 2: so it's gonna be interesting against the young OKC team. 270 00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:58,800 Speaker 2: What do you think about them as a duo and 271 00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,960 Speaker 2: and them going into this second round against okay see. 272 00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:04,040 Speaker 1: This first round has helped them because I think, to me, 273 00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:07,640 Speaker 1: okay see, he's a better team. But offensively, the Clippers 274 00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 1: are a better team. As far as harder to guard, 275 00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:11,920 Speaker 1: Clippers were the Clippers were harder to guard in the 276 00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:13,839 Speaker 1: first round, and it will be the guard okay seeing 277 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:17,199 Speaker 1: this in the second round. And even though they got SGA, 278 00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:19,319 Speaker 1: So I think I think this that first series is 279 00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 1: gonna help them be better in this series. I just 280 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:23,480 Speaker 1: think as far as the core guys that get mad, 281 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:25,319 Speaker 1: it always come down to the core guys. With the 282 00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:27,520 Speaker 1: Dallas Mavericks, we know what you're gonna give from Kyrie 283 00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:29,840 Speaker 1: and Luca and and Luke, and Luca might do some 284 00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:31,559 Speaker 1: crazy shit. Well he'll win your two games on the 285 00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:33,400 Speaker 1: road or something like that. But what are these core 286 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:36,160 Speaker 1: guys gonna do? Because as as as the playoffs, as 287 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:39,280 Speaker 1: you go to the next round, each possession gets more tighter, 288 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:41,760 Speaker 1: the nerves, you know, people can't make those shots because 289 00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 1: of the each each possession count. So it's gonna be 290 00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:46,440 Speaker 1: the core guys to see what they do. 291 00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:48,559 Speaker 2: I think, you know, this is just a perfect example 292 00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:49,760 Speaker 2: of just getting hot at the right time. And I 293 00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:52,000 Speaker 2: feel like they're playing with great chemistry right now. So 294 00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:55,960 Speaker 2: those role players, the hardaway juniors, the Lively, the PJ Washington, 295 00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:58,880 Speaker 2: these guys are all stepping up and maybe playing a 296 00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:01,840 Speaker 2: little bit above who they naturally are because the team 297 00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:03,720 Speaker 2: is rolling so well, and Kyrie and Luco are rolling 298 00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:05,160 Speaker 2: so well. So I think it's definitely gonna be an 299 00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:08,360 Speaker 2: interesting series. Okay see, I mean a young team that 300 00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:11,240 Speaker 2: that's ready to take that leap, you know, and something 301 00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:12,720 Speaker 2: we both says, we just had to see it, not 302 00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:14,120 Speaker 2: that we didn't believe in him, We just had to 303 00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,240 Speaker 2: see how these young players perform. 304 00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:17,560 Speaker 4: Under these big lights. 305 00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:19,000 Speaker 2: And okay see, did a great job in the first 306 00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:21,439 Speaker 2: round and they're really going to get tested this next round. 307 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:22,760 Speaker 3: So definitely looking forward to this series. 308 00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,840 Speaker 2: Well, these are great opportunities for you know, the others 309 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:28,920 Speaker 2: or the Cords you'd like to say, or to really 310 00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:31,200 Speaker 2: make a name for themselves and come out here and 311 00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:33,360 Speaker 2: make a splash. And you were someone who came out 312 00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:35,360 Speaker 2: in the playoffs and made a splash and got yourself 313 00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:38,200 Speaker 2: a nice deal and made yourself a household name. So 314 00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:39,839 Speaker 2: Dallas has a few guys on the team that have 315 00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:42,560 Speaker 2: that opportunity this year in the playoffs, and it'll be 316 00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:47,640 Speaker 2: interesting to see if they make that jump. Lakers Lakers, Lakers, Lakers. 317 00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:53,480 Speaker 2: Darvin Ham canned obviously the fall guy. A lot of 318 00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:55,280 Speaker 2: people have been saying, in particularly JR. 319 00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:55,959 Speaker 3: J R. 320 00:13:56,800 --> 00:14:01,800 Speaker 2: Smith said, he tweeted, but have you seen this team? 321 00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:05,080 Speaker 2: Thoughts on d Ham getting fired? Obviously, this roster was 322 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:07,720 Speaker 2: poorly constructed. It was something we said a while ago. 323 00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:10,920 Speaker 2: But also, I really want to say before we get 324 00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:14,000 Speaker 2: to dissecting this roster, they just ran into a really 325 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:16,000 Speaker 2: good Denver team, you know what I mean. If they 326 00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:18,840 Speaker 2: would have drawn someone else, they might not have had 327 00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:20,200 Speaker 2: the dishes. I don't think they would have went to 328 00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,000 Speaker 2: the finals, but I think they possibly could have got 329 00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:23,360 Speaker 2: out of the first round. But they just played a 330 00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:26,720 Speaker 2: really good different team. But nevertheless, you know that Lakers 331 00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:29,280 Speaker 2: seat is a hot seat. Our brother, Darvin Ham is gone. 332 00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:31,920 Speaker 2: You know, the front office, I think we talked on 333 00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:33,760 Speaker 2: our last time we spoke with the front office did 334 00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:37,360 Speaker 2: with that Russ move and getting rid of Coups and 335 00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:41,720 Speaker 2: Caruso and Dreb Val McGee and Dwight Howard, the core, 336 00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:45,120 Speaker 2: some of those core others from those championship teams, So 337 00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:49,840 Speaker 2: I really look at more. Darvin Ham has some work 338 00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:51,760 Speaker 2: to do as a head coach, but the roster and 339 00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:54,160 Speaker 2: the moves that managed and made in the last three 340 00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:56,440 Speaker 2: or four years that got him a ring, but has 341 00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:57,320 Speaker 2: also hindered them. 342 00:14:57,480 --> 00:14:59,720 Speaker 1: Dam got to take the blank for this man, because 343 00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:03,040 Speaker 1: you know, history tells us your star players got to 344 00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:04,000 Speaker 1: deal with the buckle the blame. 345 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:05,760 Speaker 3: They gotta take that heat, you know what I'm saying. 346 00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:08,120 Speaker 1: I mean when when San Antonio wasn't winning, they was 347 00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:10,280 Speaker 1: blaming Tima Gino. But they getting older, they getting older, 348 00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:12,360 Speaker 1: then they'll come back and win one. You know what I'm saying. 349 00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:14,440 Speaker 1: It's all your star players normally get the bull of 350 00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:16,080 Speaker 1: the heat, but for some reason, when it's dealing with 351 00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,760 Speaker 1: Lebron the Lakers, he gets no blame. And you can't 352 00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:21,280 Speaker 1: and you can't take you can't take ad out of it. Ad, 353 00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:24,240 Speaker 1: even though you played well in crunch minutes, you was 354 00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:26,480 Speaker 1: not there. So you have to put the guys that 355 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:28,360 Speaker 1: make the most money have to get the bull of 356 00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:30,880 Speaker 1: the blame. You can't blame the young guys that was 357 00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:33,280 Speaker 1: on the team. They're only getting so many limited shots, 358 00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:35,000 Speaker 1: and half the time you don't know when your shots 359 00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:37,080 Speaker 1: are even coming, you know what I'm saying. So I 360 00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:40,200 Speaker 1: can't put the blame on the others. I just I 361 00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:42,440 Speaker 1: just can't, Bro, you know what I'm saying. If you 362 00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:43,960 Speaker 1: want to put some of the others in that, throw 363 00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:46,040 Speaker 1: some of the stars in there, you know what I'm saying. 364 00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:48,240 Speaker 1: But for the most part, you can't blame these young guys, bro, 365 00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:51,000 Speaker 1: because all when when when when they do win and 366 00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:53,000 Speaker 1: all the glories going up, they giving it to the stars. 367 00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:54,720 Speaker 1: They're not giving the glory to the young guys when 368 00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:57,240 Speaker 1: all the glories talked about with the Lakers. So when y'all, 369 00:15:57,360 --> 00:15:59,040 Speaker 1: y'all want to give the glory to the to the 370 00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:01,240 Speaker 1: stars when they doing all well and they wanted, you 371 00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:05,160 Speaker 1: give the same yeah, yeah to the criticism to those 372 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:06,440 Speaker 1: guys and blame it on them. 373 00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:07,960 Speaker 3: When you lose, don't blame it on the coach. 374 00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:10,960 Speaker 2: It's always the coach's faults now it's never the player's 375 00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:13,800 Speaker 2: faults anymore, which is crazy because the responsibility has gone 376 00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:15,440 Speaker 2: up for the players because the money's gone up, So 377 00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:17,920 Speaker 2: you're responsibly should go up. But at the end of 378 00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:20,120 Speaker 2: the day, we're seeing a ton of coaches be the 379 00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:23,240 Speaker 2: fall guys for talented teams that first of all weren't 380 00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:25,600 Speaker 2: put well together. And then you know some stars didn't 381 00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:27,960 Speaker 2: play well. So it'll be intering to see, you know, 382 00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:29,080 Speaker 2: moving forward. 383 00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:30,000 Speaker 3: Let me ask you a question, No, how would you 384 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:31,640 Speaker 3: handle this situation like that if he was a coach. 385 00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:36,080 Speaker 1: Bron just calls the time out and comes to the 386 00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:39,840 Speaker 1: sideline and uh as as he's coming to line nine 387 00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:42,720 Speaker 1: sid you was drawing up a play, He's just yelling. 388 00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:43,840 Speaker 3: At you give me the board, give me the board, 389 00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:47,360 Speaker 3: give me the board, like that's mad, disrespectful. As the coach, 390 00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:48,800 Speaker 3: he wouldn't do that, the great Papovich. 391 00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:51,440 Speaker 2: I've seen it done before. I've seen Kobe do it though, 392 00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:53,920 Speaker 2: I've seen Baron do it. Though I've seen a lot 393 00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:57,320 Speaker 2: of people do it in those you know, in those minutes. 394 00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:01,600 Speaker 2: I've seen andre iguad to do it with the Warriors. 395 00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:05,159 Speaker 2: So the context sometimes you have to have the full context. 396 00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:07,600 Speaker 2: And I saw the edit just this morning on social media. 397 00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:08,040 Speaker 3: How Bron. 398 00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:10,120 Speaker 2: You know, Bron wanted to draw something up as d hand, 399 00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:12,120 Speaker 2: But I don't say, look at that mean, you could 400 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:13,920 Speaker 2: be right, some people could look at that, but I've 401 00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:16,800 Speaker 2: seen other star players, and you know, not even the 402 00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:20,160 Speaker 2: best players sometimes Iguadala do that in the Warriors hudle, 403 00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:20,960 Speaker 2: So that didn't really. 404 00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:24,240 Speaker 3: Look it was like, give me this, you don't know 405 00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:26,920 Speaker 3: what you're doing type. I was. I got a coach. 406 00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:31,760 Speaker 2: I mean, I tell you, I mean, the energy has 407 00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:34,600 Speaker 2: to be taken in consideration. I'm not I'm not mad 408 00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:35,840 Speaker 2: at that, but like I said, I've just seen other 409 00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:37,719 Speaker 2: guys do it. But I just think, you know, just 410 00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:41,920 Speaker 2: coaching Bron ain't easy, and guys have fallen by the wayside. 411 00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:42,080 Speaker 3: You know. 412 00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:44,280 Speaker 4: You look at David Black and his record what he. 413 00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:48,680 Speaker 2: Was able to do, and he was as, yeah, it's tough. 414 00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:50,680 Speaker 4: I mean, it's Broun is a gift in the curse. 415 00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:53,760 Speaker 3: Keep everybody else look at me. The coaches y'all had 416 00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:54,840 Speaker 3: He's been there. 417 00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:57,399 Speaker 2: Some other ship. You know, it's a lot of other 418 00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:00,320 Speaker 2: ships going on. So we'll have to see what happens 419 00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:03,040 Speaker 2: with these guys and where Bron lands. If the Lakers 420 00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:06,600 Speaker 2: decided to snatch Brownie, I want to see that though, 421 00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:08,280 Speaker 2: I do want to see I'm definitely looking forward to that. 422 00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:10,840 Speaker 2: Opportunity for Home be the first one to do it, 423 00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:14,640 Speaker 2: so we'll have to see a wild take that may 424 00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:18,360 Speaker 2: not end up being that wild. Jason Williams of ESPN said, 425 00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:20,360 Speaker 2: I really think Jayden Brunson is going to go down 426 00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:23,360 Speaker 2: as one of the greatest Knicks, if not the greatest 427 00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:25,600 Speaker 2: Nick of all time. 428 00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:26,720 Speaker 3: Hot take. 429 00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:28,840 Speaker 2: Some may think it's wild, but if you think about it, 430 00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:31,000 Speaker 2: we came up with a short list of you know, 431 00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:34,359 Speaker 2: you thought Walt Frager is the most break it down, 432 00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:35,280 Speaker 2: how you said, how you said it. 433 00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:38,560 Speaker 1: I felt like Walt Fraser is the best Nick of 434 00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:40,639 Speaker 1: all time because he brought a championship there. I felt 435 00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:44,000 Speaker 1: like Mellow is the most known, you know what I'm saying, 436 00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:45,840 Speaker 1: and the Patrick Ewing is the most respected. 437 00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:50,640 Speaker 4: So we're just Brunson fitting that Brunson continues, he. 438 00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:53,880 Speaker 1: Wins the championship, He's definitely going to scott past all 439 00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:55,640 Speaker 1: them considering the time wein. 440 00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:57,480 Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying, He's going to pass all 441 00:18:57,480 --> 00:18:58,320 Speaker 3: of them overnight. 442 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:02,840 Speaker 2: Over What the Knicks have done is, you know, there's 443 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:04,640 Speaker 2: a couple of those guys are starters. You would think 444 00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:07,280 Speaker 2: normally that a de Vincenzo or Josh Hart would be 445 00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:09,439 Speaker 2: a bench mob type guy. But those guys are playing 446 00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:13,320 Speaker 2: amazing alongside Brunson, so it kind of tastes the depth 447 00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:15,280 Speaker 2: out of their bench if you think about it. 448 00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:18,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, this day last year start though, because I don't 449 00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:19,920 Speaker 1: go how far they're gonna go. They get another star 450 00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:21,720 Speaker 1: over there and one of them guys going to the wood. 451 00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:27,360 Speaker 2: It's okay if they does. I mean, who is there? 452 00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:28,360 Speaker 2: Who's their number two? 453 00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:30,359 Speaker 3: Right now? I think both those two guys are playing 454 00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:33,320 Speaker 3: their mind right. They have a real number two unless 455 00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:33,600 Speaker 3: you're not. 456 00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:35,840 Speaker 2: I mean, can you call Josh Hard or Demoncenzo all 457 00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:37,480 Speaker 2: as great as they're playing, can you call them a 458 00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:39,840 Speaker 2: real number two? The number two is a twenty plus 459 00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:41,800 Speaker 2: point score every now, play body. 460 00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:42,880 Speaker 3: He could be og some night. 461 00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:46,240 Speaker 1: He slows everything down, he hold the ball. He's one 462 00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:49,120 Speaker 1: dimensional like he don't make you really, don't make nobody better. 463 00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:51,800 Speaker 1: He's a turnover prone like no man. They gotta get 464 00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:52,159 Speaker 1: rid of him. 465 00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:53,840 Speaker 2: So it's time to get rid of him and slide 466 00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:57,159 Speaker 2: at what a PG do and or Donovan Mitchell do. 467 00:19:57,520 --> 00:19:59,520 Speaker 3: In a situation with the Knicks. 468 00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:01,080 Speaker 1: I wouldn't go down the Mitch. I'll go more of 469 00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:03,560 Speaker 1: a bigger guard PG PG. You know what I'm saying, 470 00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:04,000 Speaker 1: I do PG. 471 00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:06,280 Speaker 3: You got to get them right. You need to. You 472 00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:09,720 Speaker 3: need to replace Randall with an athletic big man. 473 00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:11,640 Speaker 1: I like the big man that got now because he's brewed, 474 00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:13,680 Speaker 1: he played plays with, he's rebound, he bangs. 475 00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:17,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, he does his job and you't got to pay much. 476 00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:21,879 Speaker 2: Anthony Edwards, I think has taken the league by storm, 477 00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:24,560 Speaker 2: the world by storm, you know, as the influx of 478 00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:28,600 Speaker 2: European talent grown has grown and continues to grow. I 479 00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:30,879 Speaker 2: think Anthony Edwards has taken that challenge of being the 480 00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:31,960 Speaker 2: next American face. 481 00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:32,359 Speaker 3: You know. 482 00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:34,360 Speaker 2: I think Joe will get back in that mix once 483 00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:37,280 Speaker 2: we get consistently see him on the court. Jason Tatum 484 00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:39,199 Speaker 2: has an opportunity to be at the top of that 485 00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:42,080 Speaker 2: if he can take his Celtics to the next level. 486 00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:44,200 Speaker 2: But I mean he went they went in and got 487 00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:49,120 Speaker 2: Game one against Denver, and he played incredible. I mean, 488 00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:51,800 Speaker 2: so far he's having in thirty three, eight and six 489 00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:54,120 Speaker 2: on forty three percent shooting from the three point line. 490 00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:59,360 Speaker 2: His moves, his tenacity, You're seeing a lot of MJ 491 00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:03,040 Speaker 2: and Cole and Anthony Edwards at twenty two. 492 00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:05,600 Speaker 3: Scary. 493 00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:09,560 Speaker 1: It's just so exciting, man, because and if she kiss 494 00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:11,399 Speaker 1: keep me funky. We wanted to see some of this 495 00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:15,280 Speaker 1: in Lebron. He's so, he's so, he's so dominant offensively 496 00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:18,879 Speaker 1: and six eighth. We'll never see a basketball player that 497 00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:21,280 Speaker 1: looks like Lebron else we expect him to show that 498 00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:24,800 Speaker 1: same thing that Kobe and George show. 499 00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:30,560 Speaker 3: I don't know what, what does dude eat before games? 500 00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:33,520 Speaker 1: But to see a young kid like that take pride 501 00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:35,600 Speaker 1: in defense and stopping the best player at the end 502 00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:38,040 Speaker 1: of the games and just competing for the whole four 503 00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:40,959 Speaker 1: day minutes match on this level, but also stepping up 504 00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:43,960 Speaker 1: and playing and carrying his team like that's that's that's 505 00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:47,560 Speaker 1: that's it's good to see, man, because people have gotten away, 506 00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:50,320 Speaker 1: well what basketball is. It's not just scoring, it's not 507 00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:52,960 Speaker 1: just being one dimensional. It's playing on both sides of 508 00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:54,800 Speaker 1: the ball. It's competing all games. You know what I'm 509 00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:57,879 Speaker 1: saying talking to little trash, he has he has. He 510 00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:00,679 Speaker 1: has found a way to absorb all the things that 511 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:04,479 Speaker 1: we love about basketball and show us again why we 512 00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:04,760 Speaker 1: love it. 513 00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:05,040 Speaker 3: Matt. 514 00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:06,560 Speaker 1: A lot of guys don't play like he played a 515 00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:08,800 Speaker 1: game and appreciate the game the way he does. And 516 00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:10,399 Speaker 1: his shows on the court, and I think that's why 517 00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:12,119 Speaker 1: so many people are saying he's the new face of 518 00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:14,119 Speaker 1: the league because he's playing basketball. 519 00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:15,199 Speaker 3: He's not being one dimension. 520 00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:17,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean both sides of the ball. Three level score. 521 00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:20,000 Speaker 2: Another thing that I think gets overlooked as he's the 522 00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:21,960 Speaker 2: leader of that team too. Yes, I mean I think 523 00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:24,480 Speaker 2: a year or two ago there was a little head 524 00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:27,240 Speaker 2: button of if it's a Cats team or Anthony Edwards team, 525 00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:29,800 Speaker 2: and obviously it's Ants team. And he's been able to 526 00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:32,000 Speaker 2: get those older guys to fall in line and follow 527 00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:36,040 Speaker 2: him the go bearts. The Towns got great role players. 528 00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:39,359 Speaker 2: It's a well put together team. They have depth. You know, 529 00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:41,440 Speaker 2: they got that vet in Mike Conley. But I also 530 00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:43,080 Speaker 2: want to shut out Gobert. I think he takes a 531 00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:45,880 Speaker 2: lot of heat, but he's done his job so far. 532 00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:47,919 Speaker 2: He's done what he's been paid to do. And he 533 00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:52,560 Speaker 2: made it tough for Yokic all game to able to 534 00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:55,280 Speaker 2: throw two other guys on him. So reminists up that 535 00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:57,760 Speaker 2: when the Lakers were able to beat them and Jokicic 536 00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:00,000 Speaker 2: was asked how can he counter their big line up, 537 00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,280 Speaker 2: and he said he needed to replicate himself. He needs 538 00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:04,679 Speaker 2: another yolkic you out there to do it. So the 539 00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:07,639 Speaker 2: fact that they went in game one led by Anthony Edwards, 540 00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:12,280 Speaker 2: would he get forty three? Forty three in Denver on 541 00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:14,680 Speaker 2: the defending Champs Court? I mean, so a lot, lot 542 00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:17,159 Speaker 2: of a lot of series left. But just love his 543 00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:19,720 Speaker 2: energy and the way he attacks the game because the 544 00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:21,080 Speaker 2: team follows behind him. 545 00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:25,080 Speaker 3: This beef, this music, beef Jack. 546 00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:27,880 Speaker 2: I love it, but I'm. 547 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:28,439 Speaker 3: Gonna let you go first. What do you think about this, 548 00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:34,440 Speaker 3: Kendrick Drake? I like it. I mean, I'm enjoined it too. 549 00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:36,199 Speaker 1: I'm not one of those people that sit down and 550 00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:39,080 Speaker 1: dissect every song in every bar, but I like to 551 00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:41,320 Speaker 1: be I really listen to what the beasts and I think, 552 00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:44,720 Speaker 1: you know, for the most part, Kendrick is it's really 553 00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:47,360 Speaker 1: winning it, you know, if you can judge it. I mean, 554 00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:48,680 Speaker 1: I ain't on nobody's side. 555 00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:48,840 Speaker 3: You know. 556 00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:50,880 Speaker 1: Most people jump on him and be like, oh he did. 557 00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:52,879 Speaker 1: I ain't jumping on nobody's side because I don't care 558 00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:54,800 Speaker 1: who win. I don't know neither one of these niggas. 559 00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:57,320 Speaker 3: But what I do know is I like it. 560 00:23:57,400 --> 00:23:59,199 Speaker 1: I like the competition of it, you know what I mean. 561 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:02,199 Speaker 1: And just as the music side of it. To me, 562 00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:05,480 Speaker 1: my paying Kendrick is making better disc records, that's it. 563 00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:08,040 Speaker 4: I think it's good for the sport. I think it's 564 00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:09,080 Speaker 4: good for the sport of music. 565 00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:10,720 Speaker 2: I think the music has been on life support for 566 00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:12,400 Speaker 2: a little bit, so I think it's bringing energy back. 567 00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:14,880 Speaker 2: I want to shout out Drake for bringing Kendrick back, 568 00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:17,920 Speaker 2: you know, Kendrick. You know, we always like where's Kendrick at? 569 00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:21,119 Speaker 2: You know, And I think this competitiveness has got him outside. 570 00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:23,600 Speaker 2: I think it's good for it. I hope it stays here. 571 00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:26,840 Speaker 2: This could arguably arguably be one of the greatest battles 572 00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:28,919 Speaker 2: of all time, the way these guys are going back 573 00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:31,480 Speaker 2: and forth, and I hope that people don't make it 574 00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:33,600 Speaker 2: see because it really I haven't seen the West Coast 575 00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:35,920 Speaker 2: this united in a long time. The West Coast is 576 00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:38,199 Speaker 2: really united on this Kendrick shit. And I'm I'm a 577 00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:40,000 Speaker 2: huge fan of both. I'm a huge fan of Drake 578 00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:42,359 Speaker 2: as well, and I hope that it after this. I mean, 579 00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:44,520 Speaker 2: people could just respect their crafts and what it is 580 00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:45,920 Speaker 2: and it doesn't have to be one or the other. 581 00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:47,879 Speaker 2: Or if you fuck with Drake, you can't fuck with Kendrick. 582 00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:50,400 Speaker 2: You fucking you can't fuck with Drake stupid. I think 583 00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:52,520 Speaker 2: it's it's been great for the sport. I hope it 584 00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:55,920 Speaker 2: stays sporty. But these motherfuckers are going at each other man, 585 00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:58,240 Speaker 2: and that that mustard beat, and they're not like us. 586 00:24:59,400 --> 00:24:59,680 Speaker 3: Boy. 587 00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:03,879 Speaker 2: So we'll see our guy b Brad Brad Miller drops 588 00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:07,560 Speaker 2: this week this Thursday.
