Hopefully you're able to 0:01:24.640 --> 0:01:27.119 watch us live on YouTube right now. We had some 0:01:27.160 --> 0:01:29.959 slight technical difficulties, but we have too big of a 0:01:30.000 --> 0:01:33.240 show to let that derail us. Here is what did 0:01:33.280 --> 0:01:37.160 not make the cut for today's show. Not on today's 0:01:37.160 --> 0:01:40.160 show is the great news, however, that John Meetchi is 0:01:40.200 --> 0:01:43.120 returning to the field. The Texans draft pick last year, 0:01:43.400 --> 0:01:48.800 Cincinnati picking up Joe Burrow's option, Washington, in my opinion, 0:01:48.960 --> 0:01:54.040 shockingly declining Chase Young's option. I understand he has dealt 0:01:54.040 --> 0:01:56.880 with significant injuries. This was the number two overall pick, 0:01:56.920 --> 0:01:59.560 the defensive rookie of the year. To turn down his 0:01:59.640 --> 0:02:03.760 option is shocking to me, and Kawhi Leonard is not shocking. 0:02:03.800 --> 0:02:08.400 It is wildly unfortunate tears his meniscus. However, none of 0:02:08.440 --> 0:02:12.600 that is the lead. Not. Last night in the NBA 0:02:12.680 --> 0:02:19.079 Playoffs involved the Warriors showing they are still the champs, 0:02:19.440 --> 0:02:25.280 the Lakers falling flat bing Bong, the Knicks dispatching of 0:02:25.320 --> 0:02:29.400 the Cavs in five. However, we can't lead with any 0:02:29.440 --> 0:02:33.600 of those stories because DIORA one of the most shocking 0:02:33.840 --> 0:02:38.160 first round upsets and one of the most shocking consecutive 0:02:38.240 --> 0:02:42.919 fourth quarters I've ever seen from a title favorite happened. 0:02:43.320 --> 0:02:45.560 Let's get right into it. DIORA where we're start. 0:02:45.800 --> 0:02:48.400 Okay, so the Bucks are out? Yeah, for the second 0:02:48.440 --> 0:02:51.080 game in a row playoff, Jimmy dragged the Heat back 0:02:51.120 --> 0:02:54.239 from the dead. It's the first time a number one 0:02:54.240 --> 0:02:57.400 seed is lost to a play and team. Was this 0:02:57.480 --> 0:03:02.240 more legacy solidifying for Jimmy Butler or legacy damning for Giannis? 0:03:02.280 --> 0:03:08.760 All Right, Jimmy Butler in this series was almost as 0:03:08.800 --> 0:03:13.840 good as any player has ever been in any series. 0:03:14.240 --> 0:03:17.640 I know that sounds crazy, but when you consider the 0:03:17.680 --> 0:03:19.680 fact that the Heat were one of the lowest scoring 0:03:19.680 --> 0:03:23.280 teams in basketball in the regular season, they lost their 0:03:23.320 --> 0:03:26.760 second best scorer for the series in the first game 0:03:26.800 --> 0:03:31.160 of this series. They lost Victor Oladipo in the fourth 0:03:31.200 --> 0:03:33.200 game of this series, or the third or fourth game 0:03:33.200 --> 0:03:36.800 of this series. They were playing the number one seed 0:03:37.200 --> 0:03:42.600 with the previously unanimously accepted best player alive, and Jimmy 0:03:42.640 --> 0:03:49.600 Butler averaged thirty eight, six and five on sixty percent 0:03:49.680 --> 0:03:54.200 from the field and forty four percent from three. It's 0:03:54.360 --> 0:03:59.000 unprecedented that Jimmy Butler in these last two I'll just 0:03:59.040 --> 0:04:02.440 give you his numbers in each of the five games 0:04:02.520 --> 0:04:06.760 against the one seed Bucks, who were double digit favorites 0:04:06.880 --> 0:04:10.440 last night and minus twelve hundred favorites for the series. 0:04:10.880 --> 0:04:15.600 Game one, thirty five and eleven, win Game two, twenty 0:04:15.600 --> 0:04:17.800 five points in a loss, and then in the three 0:04:17.960 --> 0:04:23.559 straight wins, thirty points in Game three. Then Giannis comes back. 0:04:23.680 --> 0:04:26.240 The Bucks are on the brink. The Bucks are up 0:04:26.920 --> 0:04:33.599 twelve points midway through the fourth quarter of Game four, 0:04:34.360 --> 0:04:39.640 Jimmy fifty six and nine and last night forty two 0:04:39.760 --> 0:04:43.920 to eight. The Heat were down sixteen in the fourth. 0:04:44.240 --> 0:04:47.839 He dragged them back. He forced overtime with a buzzer beater. 0:04:48.200 --> 0:04:52.200 He played forty six minutes. That is ninety eight points 0:04:52.240 --> 0:04:56.760 in consecutive playoff games, the second most NBA history to 0:04:56.880 --> 0:05:01.640 Michael Jordan's ninety nine points in the ninety three postseason. 0:05:02.000 --> 0:05:06.359 Jimmy Butler took this team to the finals three years ago, 0:05:07.080 --> 0:05:10.160 last year Game seven Easter Ramics Finals, and now is 0:05:10.240 --> 0:05:14.360 upset the Bucks. All credit to Jimmy. He is a 0:05:14.600 --> 0:05:19.960 dominant playoff performer. He is a superstar. He is without question, 0:05:20.839 --> 0:05:24.600 one of the top ten, top maybe top eight guys 0:05:24.640 --> 0:05:29.120 you would want for a postseason run. Now to the 0:05:29.160 --> 0:05:32.839 bigger story, which is the Bucks. This is not legacy 0:05:32.960 --> 0:05:41.280 defining for Giannis, but it goes on the resume. You 0:05:41.360 --> 0:05:45.280 were the one seed you lost in round one in 0:05:45.640 --> 0:05:49.920 five and we'll talk big picture stuff with Giannis in 0:05:49.960 --> 0:05:55.240 a moment. But this game last night, the Heat deserves credit, 0:05:55.600 --> 0:06:03.040 Spoe deserves credit. Jimmy obviously deserves credit. Also, I cannot 0:06:03.080 --> 0:06:09.920 remember in sports a time where a coach in real 0:06:10.120 --> 0:06:16.280 time panicked and froze more than we saw Mike Budenholtz 0:06:16.480 --> 0:06:22.559 last night. So some context on the end of that game. 0:06:24.200 --> 0:06:28.560 The Bucks are up two right now, actually, let me 0:06:28.640 --> 0:06:33.120 back up a little, well, they're up one. There's a 0:06:33.320 --> 0:06:36.360 They almost turn the ball over, probably should have been 0:06:36.360 --> 0:06:40.040 a turnover. They call a foul on Kyle Lowry, the 0:06:40.080 --> 0:06:44.279 heat challenge gets overturned jump ball, the Bucks win the tip, 0:06:44.920 --> 0:06:48.800 and then Giannis, my guy who struggled mightily from the 0:06:48.800 --> 0:06:51.120 free throw line last night, ten of thirty and twenty 0:06:51.160 --> 0:06:56.800 three thirteen misses, was so nervous about shooting free throws, 0:06:57.080 --> 0:07:01.400 he tried to throw the ball away again. That then 0:07:01.600 --> 0:07:07.080 led to Drew Holiday save or Chris Middleton save. Drew 0:07:07.160 --> 0:07:10.480 Holliday gets it. Drew Holiday goes one of two from 0:07:10.480 --> 0:07:16.320 the line. The Heat drop a brilliant play, Butler catches it, 0:07:16.760 --> 0:07:20.440 tosses it in while falling backwards. It's now a tie game. 0:07:21.680 --> 0:07:26.080 There was half a second left and the Bucks had 0:07:26.280 --> 0:07:31.320 a time out. If you call time out, you get 0:07:31.360 --> 0:07:35.400 to advance the ball to half court instead. Bud just 0:07:35.480 --> 0:07:38.000 stood there. They inbound the ball. They don't even get 0:07:38.000 --> 0:07:44.960 a shot off. That's a disaster. It can't happen. There 0:07:45.040 --> 0:07:47.840 is no reason not to call time out there other 0:07:47.920 --> 0:07:52.000 than you were panicked. But the problem even with the 0:07:52.040 --> 0:07:56.600 panic is you have to know in the huddle before 0:07:56.720 --> 0:08:01.680 the Heat have their final possession, if they score, we 0:08:01.760 --> 0:08:05.040 are calling time out. He must have thought if they score, 0:08:05.080 --> 0:08:08.880 there won't be enough time, so be it. It's still 0:08:09.000 --> 0:08:13.840 impossibly bad. Then at the end of the game, you 0:08:13.880 --> 0:08:17.240 don't get a shot off and your season ends with 0:08:17.360 --> 0:08:22.040 the ball in Grayson Allen's hands, Grayson Allen with him 0:08:22.080 --> 0:08:25.960 not taking a shot once again. There the Bucks had 0:08:25.960 --> 0:08:29.200 two timeouts could have drawn something up. If you want 0:08:29.200 --> 0:08:31.840 to let them run and transition, so be it. But 0:08:32.040 --> 0:08:35.080 once you see the play has devolved to the point 0:08:35.679 --> 0:08:39.800 that Grayson Allen has the ball, with your season on 0:08:40.000 --> 0:08:47.320 the line, you must call time out. I would not 0:08:47.400 --> 0:08:50.560 be surprised if Bud gets fired for this. I know 0:08:50.600 --> 0:08:53.200 he won a championship two years ago. Nick Nurse won 0:08:53.280 --> 0:08:57.800 a championship three years ago. He was let go this week. 0:08:57.960 --> 0:09:02.080 Frank Vogel won a championship. Well hold on, so I 0:09:02.080 --> 0:09:04.960 guess Nick Nurse won a championship four years ago. He 0:09:05.080 --> 0:09:08.160 was fired this week. Frank Bogel won a championship three 0:09:08.280 --> 0:09:11.080 years ago. He was fired before the season. Bud won 0:09:11.160 --> 0:09:16.520 a championship two years ago. It in tough times, man, 0:09:17.360 --> 0:09:25.160 tough times now on Yiannis and the legacy stuff I 0:09:25.280 --> 0:09:30.640 have been saying, and I think smart people agree that 0:09:30.800 --> 0:09:34.320 it is not a debate who the best player in 0:09:34.360 --> 0:09:41.040 the world is. It's Yannis, dominant defensive player, unstoppable offensive force. 0:09:41.760 --> 0:09:45.320 And it has always irritated me when people are like, h, 0:09:45.320 --> 0:09:48.720 he can't shoot, because who gives it If he can't shoot? 0:09:48.840 --> 0:09:52.520 When he's that effective, super efficient, no one can stop 0:09:52.600 --> 0:09:56.040 him from getting to the basket, and last night he 0:09:56.200 --> 0:09:58.760 damned near out of forty and twenty, so it's hard 0:09:58.800 --> 0:10:03.320 to lay it all at his feet. However, last night 0:10:04.360 --> 0:10:10.200 and in this series, his inability to create a shot 0:10:11.360 --> 0:10:14.880 and his free throw woes, which we saw him go 0:10:15.080 --> 0:10:18.280 seventeen of nineteen in a finals game to win the 0:10:18.320 --> 0:10:22.000 title and score fifty. His free throw woes were so 0:10:22.320 --> 0:10:26.880 bad in this series that for the first time, his 0:10:27.120 --> 0:10:34.800 inability to shoot really cost them. And so we've got 0:10:34.840 --> 0:10:36.839 to wait and see how the rest of these playoffs 0:10:37.080 --> 0:10:41.480 finish out. And I obviously don't believe the Warriors are 0:10:41.520 --> 0:10:47.800 gonna win the title, but if they do, I think 0:10:47.840 --> 0:10:50.040 Steph Curry gets to claim I'm the best player in 0:10:50.040 --> 0:10:54.160 the world. That wasn't no super team last year they 0:10:54.200 --> 0:10:57.040 won the title. If they win it again with Giannis 0:10:57.040 --> 0:10:59.800 in two straight years going out in second round and 0:10:59.880 --> 0:11:04.280 row one, I think step might get the throne. If 0:11:04.280 --> 0:11:09.120 the Nuggets win the title, Jokic maybe as a claim. 0:11:09.800 --> 0:11:14.240 I it is the point I am making is Giannis 0:11:14.280 --> 0:11:17.560 didn't have to win the title in order to keep 0:11:18.480 --> 0:11:23.400 best player alive as undeniably his but going out in 0:11:23.480 --> 0:11:27.480 round one in five blowing back to back double digit 0:11:27.559 --> 0:11:32.040 fourth quarter leads against an eight seeded Heat team that 0:11:32.240 --> 0:11:35.160 lost one playing game to the Hawks and damn near 0:11:35.240 --> 0:11:39.400 lost a second playing game to the Bulls. Yikes, man, 0:11:40.840 --> 0:11:44.560 that's a tough one. I love the guy. And now 0:11:44.600 --> 0:11:46.959 everyone saw about his postgame comments. Do you or what's 0:11:47.000 --> 0:11:47.840 our question there? 0:11:48.360 --> 0:11:51.240 So what do you think about his comments about failure 0:11:51.360 --> 0:11:51.960 after the game. 0:11:52.160 --> 0:11:57.520 So he was asked by Eric name nem name, I'm 0:11:57.559 --> 0:12:01.679 not sure, do you consider the sea a failure? And 0:12:01.720 --> 0:12:05.480 he gave a very long, interesting answer, and he seemed 0:12:05.640 --> 0:12:08.640 very frustrated with the question, and he's One of the 0:12:08.679 --> 0:12:11.800 things he said was Michael Jordan played fifteen years, won 0:12:11.960 --> 0:12:18.080 six titles. Were nine of those year's failures. And he said, basically, 0:12:18.880 --> 0:12:22.160 he is a great guy. I love Giannis and he 0:12:22.240 --> 0:12:33.319 seemed genuine in earnest. Also, this season, by any fair definition, 0:12:34.440 --> 0:12:41.200 was a failure. Not It's not as reductive as there's 0:12:41.280 --> 0:12:46.040 thirty teams. One team wins the title, twenty nine teams don't. 0:12:46.320 --> 0:12:49.880 Twenty nine teams failed. That's not what I'm saying. There 0:12:49.880 --> 0:12:56.280 are different levels of success or failure. So I would argue, 0:12:56.320 --> 0:13:00.360 let's take the Dallas Mavericks. Last year, the Mavericks did 0:13:00.400 --> 0:13:02.560 not win the title. They made it to the Western 0:13:02.600 --> 0:13:06.760 Conference finals. Last year was a massive success for them, 0:13:07.160 --> 0:13:09.720 even though they didn't win the title. They overachieved someone. 0:13:09.800 --> 0:13:13.319 They went on a deep playoff run. This year they 0:13:13.320 --> 0:13:20.400 didn't even make the playoffs. It's an unmitigated failure the 0:13:20.400 --> 0:13:24.040 the A four Lakers made it all the way to 0:13:24.120 --> 0:13:28.600 the finals and then got routed in the finals. I 0:13:28.679 --> 0:13:31.040 think that season for them, it was the last year 0:13:31.040 --> 0:13:33.400 of Shaq and Kobe together. They had brought him alone, 0:13:33.440 --> 0:13:35.400 they had brought in Bayton. They put all their eggs 0:13:35.440 --> 0:13:39.240 in that basket. For them, it was championship or bust. 0:13:40.200 --> 0:13:42.640 Anything short of a championship for that team would have 0:13:42.640 --> 0:13:45.760 been a failure. Last year Celtics made it to the finals, 0:13:46.080 --> 0:13:51.120 lost massive successful season. There's nuances to this. There is 0:13:51.240 --> 0:13:56.320 no nuance to this. You are the Vegas favorite, you 0:13:56.360 --> 0:14:00.839 are the number one seed. You have Theore, the best 0:14:00.880 --> 0:14:05.640 player in the world. He is back for Game four, 0:14:06.160 --> 0:14:10.480 You are up double digits in the fourth quarter, You lose. 0:14:10.880 --> 0:14:14.960 He is back for Game five at home. You are 0:14:15.040 --> 0:14:19.320 up sixteen in the fourth quarter, You lose. That is 0:14:19.360 --> 0:14:26.600 a failure. If I said I want there's gonna be 0:14:26.640 --> 0:14:32.000 a there's gonna be a vote taken best sports talk 0:14:32.080 --> 0:14:36.760 show in the world. I want first things first to 0:14:36.800 --> 0:14:43.160 win it. And in the first round of the voting, 0:14:43.880 --> 0:14:51.040 I get routed by somebody's cable access stream show. That's 0:14:51.080 --> 0:14:55.920 a failure. So this I and there's a lot of 0:14:56.000 --> 0:15:00.560 athletes coming to Giannis's defense. I don't again. Giannis is 0:15:00.560 --> 0:15:04.280 a great dude, one of my favorite players ever, and 0:15:04.320 --> 0:15:11.520 I understand what he's saying in theory everything. Every result 0:15:11.600 --> 0:15:16.200 this season that could have ended with them not winning 0:15:16.200 --> 0:15:19.880 the title would not have been by definition of failure. 0:15:20.560 --> 0:15:24.400 Right If they make the conference finals and Joe el 0:15:24.480 --> 0:15:28.720 Embiid the year he wins MVP, goes crazy and they 0:15:28.800 --> 0:15:31.960 knock out the Bucks and he's just better, I don't 0:15:31.960 --> 0:15:34.760 know that I'd call that failure. Disappointing, fell short of 0:15:34.800 --> 0:15:39.760 your hopes, but not a failure. Losing in round one 0:15:40.440 --> 0:15:43.440 as a one seed. I'm gonna do this off the 0:15:43.480 --> 0:15:47.200 top of my head. But the only one seeds to 0:15:47.320 --> 0:15:52.200 lose to eight seeds. The ninety four Nuggets beat the 0:15:52.320 --> 0:15:57.480 Sonics in a best of five. The ninety nine Knicks 0:15:57.520 --> 0:16:00.720 beat the Heat and the Strike Year lockout Yere in 0:16:00.800 --> 0:16:09.520 a best of five, the I know that we believe 0:16:09.640 --> 0:16:14.560 Warriors beat the Mavericks in O seven. I know the 0:16:14.600 --> 0:16:19.280 Grizzlies beat the Spurs in ten or eleven. The Bulls 0:16:19.320 --> 0:16:22.040 lost as a one seed in a year that Derek 0:16:22.160 --> 0:16:25.160 Rose blew out his knee, and I'm leaving one or 0:16:25.200 --> 0:16:30.680 two out. But it's only happened like seven or eight times. 0:16:30.400 --> 0:16:34.800 It is a failure. It doesn't mean you're a failure 0:16:36.000 --> 0:16:39.120 as a person, as a basketballyer's anything. Your season was 0:16:39.160 --> 0:16:44.880 a failure, and it is this to me, just sidebar 0:16:44.880 --> 0:16:47.520 before we get to the other stuff. This to me 0:16:47.680 --> 0:16:53.520 is where at times social media can turn into diora 0:16:54.440 --> 0:16:58.160 a bit of like group think what Dan Levittard would 0:16:58.200 --> 0:17:02.760 call captain easystance. So this reporter says, was your season 0:17:02.760 --> 0:17:08.040 of failure? Jannis gives a thoughtful answer, and everyone the 0:17:08.160 --> 0:17:12.160 balls start rolling downhill on that reporters a clown. Jannis 0:17:12.240 --> 0:17:16.320 is the greatest, and everyone starts kind of parroting the 0:17:16.359 --> 0:17:21.760 same opinion. When I think privately, anyone that's a sports 0:17:21.800 --> 0:17:26.280 fan says, hey, would you consider this Bucks season when 0:17:26.280 --> 0:17:29.960 they were you had to if you bet one hundred 0:17:30.000 --> 0:17:32.640 dollars on the Bucks to win this series? You would 0:17:32.680 --> 0:17:36.000 have won seven dollars. That's how big of a favorite 0:17:36.040 --> 0:17:40.560 they were. And they lost in five to a Miami 0:17:40.600 --> 0:17:43.240 Heat team that lost Tyler Hero in Game one? Would 0:17:43.280 --> 0:17:46.880 you consider that a failure? Everyone would say yes, of course. 0:17:48.359 --> 0:17:53.840 So I I love Yiannis. Go ahead, nothing, no speak 0:17:53.880 --> 0:17:54.119 on it. 0:17:54.640 --> 0:17:54.680 No. 0:17:54.800 --> 0:17:56.680 I was just gonna say, you really can't talk about 0:17:56.680 --> 0:17:57.480 the Bucks for an hour? 0:17:57.600 --> 0:18:00.520 Huh oh, yeah, that's true. I said, all, my ge. 0:18:00.600 --> 0:18:04.560 You spent the entire the entire time a talking about 0:18:04.600 --> 0:18:05.040 the Bucks. 0:18:05.400 --> 0:18:07.440 Is it one of the crazies if you guys don't 0:18:07.440 --> 0:18:09.600 know what you were referring to. She heard me do 0:18:09.760 --> 0:18:12.640 my conference call for First Things First today and we 0:18:12.640 --> 0:18:14.240 were talking about what's going to be in the show 0:18:14.280 --> 0:18:16.840 because there's so much to discuss, and I said, I 0:18:16.880 --> 0:18:19.399 could talk about this Bucks game for six hours. I 0:18:19.400 --> 0:18:24.080 mean there's things we haven't even gotten to. But uh yeah, 0:18:24.240 --> 0:18:30.200 I mean it's a historic upset, and Gianni's comments were 0:18:30.200 --> 0:18:33.719 interesting and Jimmy Butler's unbelievable and it was I mean 0:18:33.760 --> 0:18:36.159 it was it was out of this world, all right. 0:18:36.200 --> 0:18:37.840 And also I don't want to talk that much about 0:18:37.840 --> 0:18:39.160 the Lakers, so I kind of fill a buster. 0:18:39.359 --> 0:18:43.400 Next on TV. You said that the keys to the 0:18:43.560 --> 0:18:46.960 keys to the Lakers winning were a big a D 0:18:47.119 --> 0:18:50.159 game and a triple J and Triple J getting in 0:18:50.200 --> 0:18:53.680 foul trouble. Yeah, check jack, Well both happened. 0:18:53.440 --> 0:18:56.160 I also said, and Dylan Brooks taking a bunch of threes, 0:18:56.200 --> 0:18:58.080 and yeah, mood, that happened too. 0:18:58.320 --> 0:19:00.480 And the Lakers still lost. 0:19:00.560 --> 0:19:01.720 Yeah, they did got blown out. 0:19:01.840 --> 0:19:06.400 Could it be because Lebron was shooting at Russell Westbrook levels? 0:19:06.920 --> 0:19:08.120 Does that to mean no? 0:19:08.160 --> 0:19:10.800 I mean, well, just go ahead finish your second question. 0:19:11.520 --> 0:19:14.840 What I meant to say is was it because he 0:19:14.880 --> 0:19:17.200 was shooting at Dylan brook levels? From three? 0:19:17.359 --> 0:19:17.840 Okay? 0:19:18.400 --> 0:19:21.280 What's he shooting three over twenty eight from three over 0:19:21.320 --> 0:19:22.480 the last four games? 0:19:22.560 --> 0:19:25.040 Three of twenty eight from three? It's not good. 0:19:25.359 --> 0:19:29.480 It's like, so, are you worried yet about your Lakers 0:19:29.520 --> 0:19:31.000 and your precious Lebron King? 0:19:31.440 --> 0:19:36.800 Okay, not worried they're gonna win Game six? Worry, not 0:19:36.880 --> 0:19:39.800 worried at all. Not scared they're gonna win Game six 0:19:39.840 --> 0:19:46.440 at home. However, Athony Davis was excellent. Triple J did 0:19:46.480 --> 0:19:49.200 get in foul trouble, Dylan Brooks did try to shoot 0:19:49.200 --> 0:19:54.440 the grizl did lose, and it was because Lebron was awful, 0:19:55.480 --> 0:20:00.280 No way around it, Lebro, You're entitled to a bad game. 0:20:00.960 --> 0:20:04.159 Lebron went like seven, anybody else does it. No, so 0:20:04.359 --> 0:20:05.360 this isn't a failure. 0:20:06.040 --> 0:20:08.879 Oh no, if they lose the series, if they end 0:20:08.920 --> 0:20:11.439 up blowing a three to one lead, that would be 0:20:11.480 --> 0:20:14.120 a failure. Now it's weird because they're the seventh seed 0:20:14.200 --> 0:20:16.640 and the Grizzlies are the two seed, so it's kind 0:20:16.680 --> 0:20:18.439 of the inverse of what had happened before. But they 0:20:18.440 --> 0:20:22.360 were up three to one. But no, you're not teams 0:20:22.400 --> 0:20:25.760 don't sweep other good teams in the playoffs. You're going 0:20:25.800 --> 0:20:30.800 to lose games. And everyone is entitled to bad playoff games. 0:20:30.880 --> 0:20:36.000 Lebron spoiled us because he went about seven years without 0:20:36.000 --> 0:20:39.359 a truly bad playoff game. Look it up twenty twelve 0:20:39.400 --> 0:20:42.320 to twenty eighteen. Someone find me the truly bad playoff 0:20:42.359 --> 0:20:46.439 game Lebron played. It just didn't happen, but he did 0:20:46.560 --> 0:20:50.600 last night. He was bad and he is. He's not 0:20:50.680 --> 0:20:53.359 the only reason they lost, but they can't win with 0:20:53.440 --> 0:20:55.800 him playing that way. He knows that he said it 0:20:55.840 --> 0:20:59.399 after the game. I'm not afraid to say that. I 0:20:59.480 --> 0:21:02.600 do believe Eve at home in Game six. He'll be excellent. 0:21:03.119 --> 0:21:07.800 But this was one of the worst elimination games, close 0:21:07.840 --> 0:21:11.560 out games I should say Lebron has ever played. He 0:21:11.800 --> 0:21:17.520 and by the way, his shot right now is unspeakably bad. 0:21:18.600 --> 0:21:23.439 Three of twenty eight from three is horrifying, and it 0:21:23.560 --> 0:21:27.040 just is what it is like. If he's three of 0:21:27.080 --> 0:21:30.439 twenty eight in the last four, that means in the 0:21:30.520 --> 0:21:34.720 series he's six of thirty six. It's one over six. 0:21:34.880 --> 0:21:38.160 So he's shooting seventeen percent from three in the series. 0:21:38.440 --> 0:21:43.160 He's shooting eleven percent over the last four games. Shots 0:21:43.160 --> 0:21:45.960 got a fall, and he's gotta be better. But the 0:21:46.080 --> 0:21:48.399 Lakers are not gonna lose at home in Game six, 0:21:49.240 --> 0:21:53.600 and I'm not worried about the series. I do think 0:21:53.640 --> 0:21:56.879 something that hurt the Lakers yesterday was Dylan Brooks getting 0:21:56.880 --> 0:21:59.639 in foul trouble and therefore having to come out of 0:21:59.680 --> 0:22:01.480 the game. The best thing the Lakers have going for 0:22:01.560 --> 0:22:03.639 him is Dylan Brooks playing for the Grizzlies. 0:22:04.680 --> 0:22:07.639 Furthermore, uh, what. 0:22:10.080 --> 0:22:13.600 The well now, you made me lose my thought. But 0:22:13.840 --> 0:22:16.439 the the other element of last night that was so 0:22:16.640 --> 0:22:19.879 frustrating is the Lakers played terribly in the first half 0:22:20.200 --> 0:22:23.120 but were only down nine. And then in the third 0:22:23.200 --> 0:22:28.520 quarter three times cut the lead to one, had a 0:22:28.600 --> 0:22:30.840 chance to take the lead, couldn't do it. And then 0:22:30.880 --> 0:22:34.560 the Grizzlies go on a nineteen to two run to 0:22:34.680 --> 0:22:37.320 in the third quarter and in the game, just in 0:22:37.440 --> 0:22:41.479 the game there. So I'm not worried about the Lakers. 0:22:41.520 --> 0:22:43.520 But that's a terrible law. I mean, it's a terrible 0:22:43.600 --> 0:22:46.480 Lebron performance. The Grizzlies were desperate, they were at home, 0:22:46.520 --> 0:22:48.960 they were favorites for a reason. But ad was good 0:22:49.040 --> 0:22:52.879 enough to win and they didn't win. Good thing. But 0:22:53.040 --> 0:22:55.520 do you are you know what that means? Damn good, 0:22:55.640 --> 0:22:59.800 damn good thing. Furthermore, uh that Lebron saved their ass 0:22:59.800 --> 0:23:03.320 and gain formaan the game, win the game. 0:23:03.119 --> 0:23:04.840 TI in Live, you're blushing. 0:23:07.520 --> 0:23:08.000 Next. 0:23:08.400 --> 0:23:11.840 Furthermore, we all know you love the Kings and picked 0:23:11.840 --> 0:23:14.480 them against the Warriors, and I warned you that this 0:23:14.560 --> 0:23:16.480 take what in age? Well, I believe that we talked 0:23:16.480 --> 0:23:19.639 about you being wrong about the Warriors before. 0:23:19.840 --> 0:23:20.680 Yeah we did. 0:23:21.080 --> 0:23:24.399 The Warriors went into Sacramento and won and now have 0:23:24.480 --> 0:23:27.600 control of the series. Do you think the beam is 0:23:27.640 --> 0:23:28.760 done being lit this year? 0:23:30.560 --> 0:23:37.040 List in the King the Kings stop it let me 0:23:37.160 --> 0:23:41.720 give the answer. The Kings are in a rough spot. 0:23:41.880 --> 0:23:47.160 They needed yesterday's game. There's no denying my guy. Dearon Fox, 0:23:47.440 --> 0:23:50.880 I know, Wilds and Brew on TV were like, Nick, 0:23:50.920 --> 0:23:53.720 you're overreacting to the finger injury. He's gonna be fine. 0:23:53.760 --> 0:23:55.680 He was nine of twenty five from the field. He 0:23:55.800 --> 0:23:58.480 was three of ten from three. He started the game 0:23:58.520 --> 0:24:03.600 out well. He then, as is likely to happen, reaggravated 0:24:03.600 --> 0:24:07.560 the finger and wasn't as good. It obviously hampered him. 0:24:07.920 --> 0:24:17.240 The Warriors won because They're big three were exceptional. Steph 0:24:18.119 --> 0:24:23.040 was great, Clay was very good, and as much as 0:24:23.080 --> 0:24:28.200 it pains me, Draymond was out of this world. Man 0:24:29.600 --> 0:24:32.560 as one of the best Draymond game games Draymond's played 0:24:32.560 --> 0:24:38.000 in a couple of years. And now the Kings have 0:24:38.200 --> 0:24:43.120 to go to San Francisco to win Game six. They 0:24:43.200 --> 0:24:46.359 do that, they'll win the series. They're not gonna lose 0:24:46.440 --> 0:24:50.359 Game seven in Sacramento. And I still believe in the Kings, 0:24:51.040 --> 0:24:53.680 but that was a crushing loss. There's just no way 0:24:53.720 --> 0:24:58.399 around it. That Warriors third quarter got him, and it 0:24:58.480 --> 0:25:02.800 is a crushing loss. And now you look bat Harrison Barnes, 0:25:02.880 --> 0:25:08.119 by the way, still seems, you know, a little like 0:25:08.160 --> 0:25:11.640 there was a bit of a hangover from that missing 0:25:11.720 --> 0:25:16.040 Game four And Kevin Herder has to get going for 0:25:16.119 --> 0:25:22.280 this team. Flatley has to get going. Kevin Herder shooting 0:25:23.400 --> 0:25:26.480 twenty from three in this series is not going to 0:25:26.520 --> 0:25:32.400 get it done. And luckily, if the Warriors do win 0:25:32.440 --> 0:25:35.120 the series and I'm wrong, the Lakers will be able 0:25:35.119 --> 0:25:37.560 to take care of them in Round two. But my 0:25:37.840 --> 0:25:42.040 heart deer might not survive that series. Can you realize 0:25:42.119 --> 0:25:48.640 a steph Lebron Warriors Lakers in round two of the playoffs? 0:25:49.280 --> 0:25:52.479 What that would mean for my health and well being? Also, 0:25:53.880 --> 0:25:59.760 I am going to be in Sacramento for what would 0:25:59.880 --> 0:26:05.919 be Game seven of Round two, and I yesterday was 0:26:06.040 --> 0:26:13.080 already looking at tickets for Kings Lakers in Sacramento seven. Wrong. 0:26:13.280 --> 0:26:15.520 What'd you say you'd never expect to be wrong? 0:26:15.760 --> 0:26:19.159 I didn't think i'd be wrong. You're right. That's why 0:26:19.359 --> 0:26:22.560 everybody says that to me. They're like, Nick, you argue 0:26:22.600 --> 0:26:24.879 like you don't. You don't think there's any chance of 0:26:24.920 --> 0:26:27.640 you being wrong? Why would I think I'm going Why 0:26:27.640 --> 0:26:30.720 would anyone ever argue something that they think is going 0:26:30.760 --> 0:26:34.280 to be wrong. I've never understood that about people. They're like, 0:26:34.359 --> 0:26:36.840 you argue in such a way, like you're not even 0:26:37.119 --> 0:26:40.720 considering the possibility that you're wrong. Of course not. That's 0:26:40.720 --> 0:26:46.399 why I'm arguing the point because I believe it. I 0:26:47.680 --> 0:26:50.240 think the Kings are better. But the Warriors are up 0:26:50.280 --> 0:26:53.680 three to two, and now the King's gotta wins. It's 0:26:53.720 --> 0:26:57.200 not great. There's no way around it. I'm not gonna pretend. 0:26:59.119 --> 0:27:03.719 I'm not gonna pretend that everything's all smiles and rainbows. 0:27:04.200 --> 0:27:08.560
