50
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 3: I had Wow, Yeah, I was gonna cut it up.

51
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 3: I was like, why Clay, It's perfect eight scars guards,

Speaker 2: I'm happy to know him all right.

54
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 1: On today's show, we're gonna tee up tonight's Game four

55
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 1: in Indianapolis. We've got some NBA headlines to dissect and

56
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:30,799
Speaker 1: the prime moment of the week. It's a fun one,

57
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 1: but first let's talk basketball task. OKASE re establishing itself

58
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 1: as the NBA's top title contender with the very entertaining

59
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 1: one twenty eight, one twenty six win over the Timberwolves

60
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 1: last night, very entertaining for forty seven minutes and thirty seconds.

61
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 1: We'll get into the whole fouling part, but the Thunder

62
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 1: now lead the series three to one. Shake Gilds Alexander

63
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 1: forty points, tenn assists, nine boards for the MVP, while

64
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 1: Anthony Edwards on the other side held to just sixteen points.

65
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 1: He had very few field goals in the first half,

66
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 1: but in the end, Thunder get it done. Where do

67
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 1: you want to start? You start with the Big three

68
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 1: of OKC them shutting down ant other parts of this game.

69
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 1: Where do you want to.

70
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:12,920
Speaker 3: Go you have to start with ant here in the

71
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 3: semi finals, back to the wall, down to one in

72
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 3: a very very important game. He didn't perform to his abilities.

73
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 3: He didn't force the refs to make calls by driving

74
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,239
Speaker 3: to the hoop. Of course, okay, see he's good swarming him,

75
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 3: but he didn't perform. He was not the Anthony Edwards

76
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:30,959
Speaker 3: were all wondering if he will show up. He's twenty three,

77
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 3: maybe he will show up in a couple of years.

78
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 3: But this just wasn't his game. And I know it

79
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 3: goes hand in hand with Julius Randall, both those guys

80
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 3: not performing to their capabilities. Whatsoever. Randall way more turnovers

81
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 3: than Buckets, five to one, Anthony Edwards the same amount

82
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 3: of turnovers as buckets. It is wild that you mentioned,

83
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 3: you know, we went down to the wire considering those numbers,

84
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 3: because it is wild to think about what many did

85
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 3: end up winning in terms of stats in this game,

86
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 3: fast break, points, threes, they hit more freaking threes. Problem

87
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 3: was their bench hit double the amount of threes that

88
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 3: their starters did. Points in the paint. They won so

89
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 3: many of the categories. But when it comes down to it,

90
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 3: what Anthony Edwards said after the game was everything he

91
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 3: said quote they outplayed us, out rebounded us, got more

92
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:23,719
Speaker 3: of the fifty to fifty balls, wanted it a little

93
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 3: bit more. Now, they didn't out rebound them, but they

94
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:28,719
Speaker 3: did want it a little bit more. It's totally true.

95
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:32,359
Speaker 3: This game had okay see taking twelve more shots in

96
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 3: the first half.

97
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 1: Just think about that.

98
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 3: A team takes twelve more shots, How are you gonna win?

99
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:38,839
Speaker 3: How are you gonna beat the best team? They had

100
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 3: eleven offensive rebounds in that first half to six for

101
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,479
Speaker 3: the Wolves. The Wolves turned over twelve times while the

102
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 3: thunder only turned it over seven. Man he was playing

103
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 3: goods of shooting offensively, they're shooting well fifty and forty four.

104
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:54,839
Speaker 3: But you just couldn't get down like that. And then

105
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 3: they kept fighting back. It was miraculous to see Dante

106
00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 3: DiVincenzo and Nikhil Alexander Walker splashing threes to get them back.

107
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,279
Speaker 3: Those guys both score over twenty. Jade mccanalid's scores over

108
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 3: twenty to get them close, to get them to a

109
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 3: tie freaking game multiple times in the second half. But

110
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 3: it's just the way they started and their way. Their

111
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 3: top two guys led their team without really leading their team.

112
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 3: That really came down to that. I mean, they just

113
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 3: they got down and they couldn't make up for it.

114
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:20,600
Speaker 3: That's it.

115
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, it just shows you the importance of your stars

116
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:25,839
Speaker 2: in the playoffs. That's all that really happened in this game.

117
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 2: Minnesota got sixty four bench points. Jade McDaniels, like you mentioned,

118
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:32,479
Speaker 2: twenty two. Rudy Gobert was kind of effective, kind of

119
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 2: sloppy at times, but one of his better offensive games.

120
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 2: I would say six of the Timberwolves who played played

121
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:40,839
Speaker 2: pretty well. Mike Conley didn't really do much either, but

122
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 2: the stars in Julius Randall and Anthony Edwards twenty one

123
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:47,599
Speaker 2: points on twenty field goals, nine assists, ten turnovers. You

124
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,279
Speaker 2: look at okay see, I thought their role players played well,

125
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 2: but not big scoring knights. Cruso had ten, Wallace had seven.

126
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:56,720
Speaker 2: Isaiah Joe did a couple of nice things, but they

127
00:05:56,760 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 2: got ninety five points from their big three of Shae,

128
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:03,279
Speaker 2: Jadub and Chet. They shot fifty one percent from the

129
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 2: field combined. They had sixteen assists to eight turnovers. Eight

130
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 2: stocks for them as well blocks and steals, making plays

131
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 2: on both ends of the ball. And this is really

132
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:14,719
Speaker 2: like the vision for the Thunder. This was a perfectly

133
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 2: played game for their big three. It's the most points

134
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 2: that any trio has ever scored for the Oklahoma City

135
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 2: Thunder and guess what, they had a pretty good trio

136
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 2: once upon a time. But Shay was awesome forty nine

137
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 2: to ten. I felt like he had the answer to

138
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,840
Speaker 2: every Minnesota surge when they were making their runs. Jadub

139
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 2: was hot from the start, finished with thirty four points,

140
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 2: three rebounds, five assists, and three steals. I thought the

141
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 2: Thunder did an awesome job of running second side actions

142
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,279
Speaker 2: for him that were occupying the defenders, which makes it

143
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:44,720
Speaker 2: a little easier for Shae gets Jadub great spot shots

144
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:46,799
Speaker 2: in the spots that he likes to play down the stretch.

145
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:49,480
Speaker 2: It was just Jadob and Shay running pick and roll

146
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 2: for each other. Didn't matter who was handling the ball,

147
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 2: just mattered where the defenders were. They were able to

148
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 2: score effectively. And then Chet twenty one points, seven rebounds,

149
00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 2: three blocks. He finishes the plays great cutter. He ended

150
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:02,160
Speaker 2: up with a lot of dunks in this one. Some

151
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 2: big defensive playmaking as well from him. Just a great

152
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 2: performance by the big three of the Thunder. And nothing

153
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 2: from the big two of the Timberwolves.

154
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I loved you know, when so much attention is

155
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 1: paid to SGA and J. Dubb, it is paramount that

156
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 1: the rest of those thunder guys hit open shots, you know, consistently,

157
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 1: and they did in this game. I think it was

158
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 1: something like of Shay's tennis sists, eight of them were

159
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 1: on three pointers and the other one was chet Holmgrim

160
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 1: with his foot on the line yep so, which like

161
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 1: basically a three pointer. It was like a very deep two.

162
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 1: So so many of those Wolves load up in the gaps,

163
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 1: but he's finding these guys in there, finally hitting them

164
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 1: here in game four, because they they were really good

165
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 1: three point shooting team during the regular seasons. Is something

166
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 1: we talked about. At some point their threes are going

167
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 1: to start falling with some consistency and just yeah, methodically

168
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 1: played by SGA, just the perfect balance of scoring, putting

169
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 1: on the pressure and then setting up guys and man

170
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 1: J Dubb. I looked at that game as like a

171
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 1: bookend game because he started the game awesome for them

172
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 1: right came out scoring right away. He hit think you know,

173
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 1: he hit five of his first six shots, scored thirteen

174
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 1: in the first quarter. A lot of those were three pointers.

175
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 1: He also had that very pretty left hand layup where

176
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 1: he scooped it high off the glass. So he started

177
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 1: the game great and then he ended just a strong,

178
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,119
Speaker 1: huge plays in the fourth quarter for JDub fourteen points

179
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 1: on five to seven shooting in the final frame, So like,

180
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 1: awesome game from him. And then yeah, Chet, I mean

181
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 1: what a block on McDaniels. I mean that maybe big time.

182
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 1: That was a huge play in this game where there

183
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 1: were multiple just big plays, especially the Wolves, like you said,

184
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 1: they always had an answer. Yeah, they always had a

185
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 1: corner three, like always, and it was Sga or JDub

186
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 1: or Chet coming back on the other end, just to

187
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 1: give them the breathing room when you got down the

188
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 1: stretch there when things got tight, they always seem to

189
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 1: have a big shot from one of those three guys

190
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 1: or a big defensive play in Chet's case.

191
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, Chet to be able to cover that Jade McDaniels

192
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 3: drive spin with forty seconds left, stuck with him every

193
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 3: step from the three point line to the rim to

194
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 3: seal it. That was it. That was a beautiful thing

195
00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 3: to watch. Has to be mentioned along with Jalen Williams.

196
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:02,840
Speaker 3: Those two guys to support Shay Gilders Alexander were monstrous

197
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 3: and yeah, you went through some of the numbers of

198
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 3: their role guys, Trey, they weren't exactly needed when you

199
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 3: get your top three ballin' the way they did. And

200
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:14,440
Speaker 3: so that was the huge difference that Gentlemans just came out. Yeah,

201
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:17,840
Speaker 3: the secondary action and the open three point shots. He

202
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:19,200
Speaker 3: was coming to play.

203
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 1: They didn't hesitate either of those guys. But you know, Shase,

204
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:25,840
Speaker 1: he's the MVP. You're never worried about that. Jadup, no hesitation.

205
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 1: Chet a guy that we've questioned a few times, even

206
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 1: in this postseason run. There's been games where we get

207
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 1: on here and go like, be a little shook, the

208
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 1: light's a little too bright, Like I know this is

209
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 1: sort of new for him as hasn't a lot of

210
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 1: postseason experience. Not in that game, I mean, it was

211
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 1: like the confidence is just growing and growing with him,

212
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:46,559
Speaker 1: like he's the one to me, like really blossoming, blossoming

213
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 1: here in this postseason run, even maybe more than some

214
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 1: of the other guys. And again probably just because he's

215
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:52,440
Speaker 1: had less games than the posts.

216
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 2: The only criticism you would have a chat is that

217
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 2: he doesn't rebound very well, and you saw that happening

218
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:59,320
Speaker 2: in the fourth quarter no Hartenstein playing, and the Wolves

219
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 2: started kind of on the glass. He's a skinny guy,

220
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 2: so he'd needs some help from the guards rebounding. And

221
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:07,200
Speaker 2: that's why they went and got Hartenstein in the summer,

222
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 2: because they wanted to beef up their rebounding. But I mean,

223
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 2: he's taken threes when they're there. He is a good

224
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:15,440
Speaker 2: offensive rebounder. Had that nice tip dunk in the fourth

225
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:17,839
Speaker 2: quarter as well. But thirty four points combined from j

226
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:19,959
Speaker 2: dub Shay and Chet and it's like you're getting nine

227
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 2: from chet Holmgren and he's barely even a focus offensively.

228
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 2: He played incredibly well. The thunder were smart to go

229
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:27,599
Speaker 2: with a small ball lineup. It just makes it a

230
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 2: little bit tougher for Minnesota to keep up. And I

231
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 2: mean this was a close game. It was there for

232
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,320
Speaker 2: the winning but still somehow Oklahoma City never gave up

233
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 2: the lead in the second half. There was not a

234
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 2: lead change in this game the second half.

235
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:42,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, they were totally even keeled. Chet Holmgren and Jala Wims,

236
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 3: who yes, I mean they've they've had a little playoff runs.

237
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 3: But they haven't had this much playoff success, so you

238
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 3: think at some point, maybe, you know, will it they

239
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 3: start to wit, Will the lights be too bright as

240
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 3: you brought up their skits.

241
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 1: But no, No, they're getting more and more comfortable. Yeah,

242
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 1: but I'm seeing through this entire pier And.

243
00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 2: They had the bench chat three minutes into this series. Yeah,

244
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:00,560
Speaker 2: they're like, you're not playing well, and they brought in

245
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 2: Cason Wallace and he juiced them up and then chat

246
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:05,199
Speaker 2: has been awesome since the second half of Game one.

247
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:07,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, I thought Cason Wallace was important in this game.

248
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 3: When there's two broken plays and it's just a scenario

249
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 3: where Cason Wallace gets the ball, I mean he has

250
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 3: to be the break in casein of emergency, he has

251
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 3: to be and he did. That's what exactly he was

252
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 3: multiple times and offensive boards. He was just that perfect

253
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 3: throw that guy out there. He can be, you know,

254
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,560
Speaker 3: the fifth guy on a championship team. He just was

255
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:35,080
Speaker 3: that exactly in this case. Well, on the other side, yeah,

256
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:38,080
Speaker 3: we can go through all the things. I thought Chris

257
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 3: Finch putting Dante DiVincenzo on Shae in that first half

258
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 3: was a mistake. Shaye loves that matchup, and he went

259
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 3: away from it in the second half, and it was

260
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 3: just Nikile Alexander Walker who was the best defender on Shae.

261
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 3: Even though you know, there's not really an answer for

262
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:56,840
Speaker 3: Shay Nikile Alexander Walker, he will be mentioned again and

263
00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 3: again and again that he is his cousin. He does

264
00:11:58,960 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 3: know him.

265
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 1: I mean, holy man, Okay, we got it.

266
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:07,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, everybody complaining, but listen, he Nikaile Alexander Walker. This

267
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 3: is his game of his career and playing the postseason.

268
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 3: That was awesome to be able to do that. He

269
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 3: was really good. I thought Donde de Vincenzo was. Even

270
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 3: though he hit those threes, he was sloppy. And so

271
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:22,560
Speaker 3: they're looking for another point guard. That's that's what this

272
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 3: Minnesota Timber Bowls we'll be looking at in a couple

273
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:27,560
Speaker 3: of months when we're looking at who they are and

274
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:29,559
Speaker 3: what they are. They got to the conference finals last year.

275
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 3: They need somebody to replace Mike calmly in all honestly,

276
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 3: they needed a ball handler to be able to do

277
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 3: something to get into the lane, and Jane mcdam's was

278
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 3: chipping in. Nikile Alexander was their backup point guard and

279
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 3: I guess that's what the Rob Dillingham trade up for

280
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:47,439
Speaker 3: him in the draft to get him was four, because

281
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:49,079
Speaker 3: that was that was what they're helping.

282
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 1: Especially that guy loads up on it, gets the ball

283
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 1: out of his hands like ant you know, we are

284
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:55,680
Speaker 1: crapping on like obviously not a lot of shot attempts

285
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:57,720
Speaker 1: and not a great scoring game, but a lot of

286
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 1: times making the right play. A lot of those corners

287
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 1: three created by him so doing that. But I'm with you,

288
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 1: like cause you know their secondary guard, I mean bullhandler.

289
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:08,720
Speaker 1: It turns into Julius Randall a lot of the times.

290
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 1: And against this team it's like he puts the ball

291
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 1: on the ground jo Like, it's like they attack right away.

292
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 1: And that's why. I mean, he was brutal, very bad

293
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 1: in this game.

294
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 2: Head Yeah, give him a calling Julius. Yeah here, it's

295
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:24,080
Speaker 2: coach Finch. I think it's kind of odd that you

296
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 2: don't play well in even numbered games. Feel free to

297
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:30,560
Speaker 2: show up, not every other game. Okay, call you back by. Yeah,

298
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 2: he was brutal, he didn't do anything, and it was

299
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:34,440
Speaker 2: completely taken out of the game. I do think it's

300
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 2: changed from his New York days. His New York days.

301
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:39,200
Speaker 2: If he is playing poorly. He would kind of press

302
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 2: and try to get things going in this one, he

303
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:44,840
Speaker 2: admitted afterwards. I was just standing around him, watching out there, spectating,

304
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 2: just playing for catch and shoe jumpers. We're talking about

305
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:50,080
Speaker 2: the need for another point guard. Absolutely, that's true. Colmley

306
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 2: didn't really give him much last night, But Julius Randall

307
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:55,080
Speaker 2: is supposed to be the secondary playmaker shake out. Just

308
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:59,440
Speaker 2: Alexander and Jaylen Williams are seeing similar coverages to Anthony Edwards.

309
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:01,840
Speaker 2: Look what Jalen Williams was able to do last night,

310
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 2: and honestly, look what Shay was able to do last night. Sure,

311
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 2: Aunt had six assists, that's cool. He had five turnovers

312
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 2: as well. Shaeields and Alexander had forty points and ten assists.

313
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 2: There's a way to blend your playmaking and your scoring

314
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:15,520
Speaker 2: that Aunt really hasn't figured out yet, because this is

315
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 2: exactly what they did against Dallas last year. They took

316
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 2: him out of the game by throwing everybody at him,

317
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 2: by making him see a whole bunch of bodies in

318
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 2: the gaps, and he's just not able to process the

319
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 2: playmaking versus scoring aspect of things. I agree he made

320
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 2: some great passes to the corner, but those, like we've

321
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 2: talked about a million times, are the passes that Oklahoma

322
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 2: City wants him to throw because they think they can challenge.

323
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 2: Minnesota knocked him down last night. That's why this game

324
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 2: was close. But Ant's got to figure out a way

325
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 2: to be effective as a playmaker and a scorer at

326
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 2: the same time.

327
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 1: He even said after the game they played him pretty

328
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 1: similarly to how they did in games one and two. Okay,

329
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:48,840
Speaker 1: see dud like loading up chet ready for the help

330
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 1: and him trying to just become a playmaker. Now it

331
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 1: was closer because, yeah, all these guys were hitting shots.

332
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 1: They were hitting all these threes. That's why we had

333
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 1: a close game, unlike games one and two where it

334
00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 1: sort of got out of hand there and the Thunder

335
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 1: pulled away in those third quarters. But yeah, he just

336
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 1: does need of course, look was Shay with the Thunder,

337
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 1: I should say. Coming into the postseason, all we wondered

338
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 1: was will his co stars be there to carry him

339
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 1: in games to obviously go far in the postseason. And

340
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 1: they are. They're they're starting to like get better and

341
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 1: better in JDub and chat and now we see it

342
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 1: like aunt's gonna need that as well. It can't all

343
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 1: be ant like me. Do you want him just to

344
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 1: like start forcing the action and driving in there maybe

345
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 1: at times, maybe when you want to stop the bleeding.

346
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 1: But again, they were scoring. That wasn't the issue at all.

347
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 1: They scored a ton of points against the best defense

348
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 1: all year. That's a lot of points. They just couldn't

349
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 1: They could not stop them. And I didn't love his

350
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 1: defensive impact, like did Ant do anything even on that?

351
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 1: And no, no, And then along with the turnovers of.

352
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:47,320
Speaker 3: Course though, Yeah, it was the extra possessions really that

353
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 3: got them in that big hole, these offensive boards, even

354
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 3: after missus, even after they were able to play good possessions.

355
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:55,360
Speaker 3: You'd look at Rudy Gobert's numbers, he only had two

356
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 3: defensive rebounds. Is that Ruby's fault. Nah, It's not really

357
00:15:58,080 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 3: Rudy's fault. He had to go out onto the perimeter

358
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 3: guard guys. But there was a hunger level that was needed,

359
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 3: and I think sometimes it just comes from your best

360
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 3: star being that guy who forces things a little bit.

361
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 3: I think he needed to go and say, hey, referees,

362
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:16,440
Speaker 3: call some I'm bumping into these guys because those guys

363
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 3: were swarming on him. There's no doubt he just was

364
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 3: a little reluctant, and yeah, it it carried over onto

365
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 3: the defensive end, mainly with offensive glass. You just can't

366
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 3: give extra shots. I mean, that's what that first half was.

367
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 3: They got into this hole, and yeah, you got miraculous

368
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 3: performances from three guys to get sixty six combined from Julia,

369
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 3: Jane McDaniels, Dantevi de Vincenzo and Nah, that's a lot

370
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 3: of freaking points. They needed to force a little bit

371
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 3: more from their their lead guys.

372
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 2: Their bench at twelve threes, like Minnesota should have won

373
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 2: this game. You ran down all the stats that they

374
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:56,400
Speaker 2: led in in this game. The only things that were

375
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 2: really a problem were the turnovers, which were bad. But

376
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 2: I think Minnesota scored more points off of turnovers than

377
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 2: Oka See did in this game. Their two guys didn't

378
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 2: show up, and that's really what it comes down to.

379
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 2: Three did for the Thunder, two did it for Minnesota.

380
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:12,240
Speaker 2: Game over m M.

381
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:16,639
Speaker 1: I mean credit to dort and Carusoe for obviously containing

382
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 1: slowing down whatever, stopping basically Anthony Edwards, that's just complete

383
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:24,439
Speaker 1: face guarding him. It's all effort, fighting through everything, staying

384
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 1: with an arm on him at all times, like it's

385
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:28,480
Speaker 1: like we sitting here, go oh yeah, everybody should be

386
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:30,199
Speaker 1: able to do that. They can't know. These are like

387
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:32,119
Speaker 1: some of the rare guys in the league that can

388
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:33,479
Speaker 1: actually do it. They happen to have two of them

389
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:35,960
Speaker 1: on their same damn team. Dort does it, maybe gets

390
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:38,159
Speaker 1: into foul trouble, It's okay, we bring in Crusoe to

391
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:41,120
Speaker 1: do it even maybe even better. It's it's like it's

392
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:43,119
Speaker 1: just embarrassment of riches with those two guys. And then

393
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:45,320
Speaker 1: of course Casean Wallace even gets matched up at times.

394
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 1: Now it's like this speedy little guy just awesome job.

395
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:50,520
Speaker 2: Okay, but I think he would also say that McDaniels

396
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:53,919
Speaker 2: is a great defender, right, Anthony Edwards is theoretically a

397
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:56,840
Speaker 2: good defender. He's best on ball. People talk up Nikhil

398
00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:59,640
Speaker 2: Alexander Walker as a defender. They didn't have the same

399
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 2: impact that the three defensive guards did for Okay, see,

400
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 2: I agree they're a level ahead, but Minnesota should be

401
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:07,200
Speaker 2: a good defense. Yeah, they still gave up almost.

402
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:09,160
Speaker 1: One hundred and forty Yes, no, they could not stop them.

403
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, dag Not made the calculation, let's face guard them,

404
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:15,920
Speaker 3: and that would allow the corner threes to be totally open.

405
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 3: Because you face guard them, you can pick them towards

406
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 3: the middle, and then those guys in the corners were

407
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:24,119
Speaker 3: wide open and they obviously came through, but they just

408
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:27,639
Speaker 3: got in such a deficit. This Minnesota team loves to

409
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:30,439
Speaker 3: get down. That's what they did throughout the regular season,

410
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 3: and that's when they fight back. And you know that's

411
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 3: the characteristic of some people out there, it's my character trait.

412
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 3: I love getting pushed to the wall. That's when I act.

413
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:46,359
Speaker 3: That's when I react. Maybe Minnesota wins Game five. I

414
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:48,119
Speaker 3: wouldn't be surprised if they won Game five, but to

415
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:51,000
Speaker 3: win three in a row, come on, that's goods way

416
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:53,120
Speaker 3: too hard against this team that's found their.

417
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:56,120
Speaker 1: Way, extremely entertaining game like one of the best games

418
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 1: like front to back of the postseason. And I know

419
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 1: there are a couple of good ones and Clippers. It's obviously

420
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:03,119
Speaker 1: we've had we had some great Nuggets Thunder games like,

421
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 1: we had some wild endings. Of course, the Knicks comebacks

422
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 1: and all that, but it's it's on the short list

423
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:09,879
Speaker 1: here of this postseason. I at one point, I'm like,

424
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 1: you know, we're always taking our notes and doing all that.

425
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:14,000
Speaker 1: I'm like, in the third quarter when the shot making

426
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:15,960
Speaker 1: was going nuts, I'm like, what, I'm just gonna enjoy this.

427
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:17,919
Speaker 1: I just like closed the damn thing. I just like

428
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 1: rewatch it in the morning. So it's just so good

429
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:22,639
Speaker 1: until we get into the fouling of three and we

430
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:24,960
Speaker 1: can get to that in a second. But start random

431
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,639
Speaker 1: notes here or anything else TK from this game? Do

432
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 1: you believe task? Like, do you think the Wolves could

433
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 1: get this back to Minnesota and it's over?

434
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 2: They're going back to Okay, it's Wednesday, Wednesday, thank you?

435
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's probably.

436
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 1: I don't know.

437
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 3: I just I will never never count out this wole team.

438
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 3: I don't I'm counting them out from winning the series.

439
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:52,639
Speaker 3: It's too hard. It's it's too hard to overcome. You

440
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:54,440
Speaker 3: had you had it here, you had it. You can

441
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:56,760
Speaker 3: lose both games in okay, see, but you had to

442
00:19:56,800 --> 00:20:00,119
Speaker 3: come through in game four. And the guys. Did the

443
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:03,959
Speaker 3: role players play better at home? Yeah? God they did.

444
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:04,880
Speaker 1: They were awesome.

445
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:07,199
Speaker 3: They were so good, but their top two guys were

446
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:08,680
Speaker 3: not quite there.

447
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:12,760
Speaker 2: They went thirty eight for eighty two from three in Minnesota.

448
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:14,959
Speaker 2: They won one game in a blowout, and then they

449
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 2: were close in another one. Honestly, they're gonna regret this one,

450
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:19,880
Speaker 2: is what it's gonna come down to. They didn't shoot

451
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 2: the ball very well at all in Oklahoma City, so

452
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 2: they need to play as well as they did last night,

453
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:27,479
Speaker 2: plus get performances at least from one of theirs, one

454
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:27,960
Speaker 2: of the guys.

455
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's the thing. It's like they both were

456
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:33,880
Speaker 1: bad or quiet, I mean bad. Yeah, they were bad.

457
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:34,360
Speaker 1: They were bad.

458
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:34,879
Speaker 2: You can say it.

459
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:37,439
Speaker 1: What else you got from this?

460
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:41,919
Speaker 2: I liked Doris Burke's call on nearly starting World War Three.

461
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:43,879
Speaker 2: I don't know much about history, but I know the

462
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:48,359
Speaker 2: French and Germans don't like one another. And Rudy says Bonjo,

463
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 2: mister Hartenstein, have a little bit of that left handed dunk.

464
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 2: One of the craziest calls you've ever had.

465
00:20:55,000 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, yes, going deep in the textbook, deep in the textbook.

466
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:02,200
Speaker 3: Not that deep, No, no, not really.

467
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 2: This is a pretty well known throwdown.

468
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:07,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure. I will say Doris, we

469
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 3: we kind of we skipped over Game three in terms

470
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:13,240
Speaker 3: of analyzing it, just because it was on Saturday night,

471
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:15,399
Speaker 3: but she was bringing in that game too. I did

472
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 3: think there was an offensive rebound where Rudy grabbed the

473
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:21,159
Speaker 3: ball and she said Rudy doesn't have good hands. Like

474
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:24,240
Speaker 3: to come out and say that, she doesn't usually go

475
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 3: that way. She's usually extremely positive. So she literally said

476
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:32,159
Speaker 3: Rudy doesn't have good hands. That was kind of surprising. Anyway. Yeah,

477
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 3: the whole French German thing that was weird, just weird.

478
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 1: These three are brutal. I was wrong. We had high

479
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 1: hopes for this three. I thought it'd be way better

480
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:43,199
Speaker 1: and maybe it just takes time. I don't think so, though.

481
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:46,679
Speaker 1: It just does not work Breen Burke and RJ. It

482
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:49,920
Speaker 1: is like, I don't know, it feels like a March

483
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 1: game to me. It's just does not have the gravitas

484
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:55,159
Speaker 1: or it's not as fun or as entertaining as I

485
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:56,720
Speaker 1: thought it would be. So I'll take a big l

486
00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:59,199
Speaker 1: one being wrong on this one. Not been impressed by

487
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 1: this great group. I'm sorry.

488
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:02,600
Speaker 2: It feels like a regular season game when you're watching it.

489
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 1: Yeah.

490
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:06,119
Speaker 3: Well, one thing I was impressed by and why you

491
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 3: got to watch the in game arena stuff. I thought

492
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:11,119
Speaker 3: their their intro video was awesome. I thought the Wolves

493
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 3: intro video is the cut, the edit, the pace of it.

494
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 3: It's good color they put on it. In the music

495
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:18,760
Speaker 3: it's Kendrick Lamar, So the music is just good. That

496
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:22,840
Speaker 3: adds to it. No, Young Gravy, maybe they tossed that,

497
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:24,320
Speaker 3: they got rid of that, they dumped that.

498
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:27,520
Speaker 1: How much Young Gravy we played in the Classic Factory

499
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 1: after yesterday's show, I've.

500
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:32,879
Speaker 3: Got we got to know the gravy we're drinking the gravy.

501
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 2: We were listening to like sixty five different songs that

502
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:41,200
Speaker 2: all sort of Yeah. I was like, I didn't realize

503
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:44,280
Speaker 2: Glenn Powell was doing a Jelly Roll impersonation here. But

504
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:46,720
Speaker 2: that's what Young Gravy is. He's too handsome to be.

505
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:47,399
Speaker 1: Doing these songs.

506
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 3: Jelly rolls hot.

507
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:51,160
Speaker 2: Jelly Roll's hot.

508
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 3: I will say, uh, I mean he's hot, Like you're

509
00:22:56,320 --> 00:23:00,440
Speaker 3: looking at me like it considering him handsome music the

510
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:05,080
Speaker 3: music is Young Gravy's hot. You. I do kind of

511
00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:06,920
Speaker 3: like how every single team now in the playoffs is

512
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 3: bringing back all their old heads. O. Patrick Beverly was there.

513
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:11,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's firing the T shirt gun.

514
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:15,159
Speaker 3: At least the Wolves legend. He didn't jump onto the

515
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:18,359
Speaker 3: scores table this time. But yeah, they I like how

516
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:20,840
Speaker 3: they bring him back. There's cool. It gets everybody going,

517
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:21,400
Speaker 3: that's for sure.

518
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:24,240
Speaker 1: Would you like to see the Thunder bring back Kad

519
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 1: Westbrook and hearted? Should they be there for a possible

520
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:30,480
Speaker 1: clinching game to go to the game playoffs? They eliminated Westbrook?

521
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:32,480
Speaker 3: They ain't coming back.

522
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 1: Likes it?

523
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 2: I mean, we're talking about the best players in their

524
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:40,959
Speaker 2: franchise history. I'm not totally against it. Nick Collison at

525
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:42,679
Speaker 2: lest should be there. They shown that guy at all

526
00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:45,720
Speaker 2: yet No, no, does he work for this? I thought

527
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:47,879
Speaker 2: I thought it was somehow an employee or an ambassador

528
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:48,240
Speaker 2: or something.

529
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:50,200
Speaker 1: I think he is. Yeah, maybe he is there.

530
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Bringtons should be around Jeff Green perhaps, Well,

531
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:57,720
Speaker 3: you know, you can go. He can be there first.

532
00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:02,479
Speaker 2: Like who's retired from the Kevin Martin? Like, bring back

533
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:04,639
Speaker 2: Kevin Martin. Let's see what that guy's up to. This

534
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:06,439
Speaker 2: is an issue. They're all still placed.

535
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 1: A lot of guys are still around. Perkins. Yeah he's there.

536
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:16,680
Speaker 1: What else do you have? Random notes? Did you see

537
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:20,160
Speaker 1: the free throw merchant guy with his sign? Let's show

538
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:22,280
Speaker 1: it here? And this made me laugh? You know, Okay,

539
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:24,560
Speaker 1: whatever you know, they're doing the whole free throw merchant.

540
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:29,560
Speaker 1: Look at the little dry I hope his kid did that,

541
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:32,200
Speaker 1: Like I just made me laugh. He decided to add

542
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:38,359
Speaker 1: that in on a side insane chait too. You know,

543
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:40,359
Speaker 1: they're trying to get under his skin. I appreciate that.

544
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:43,160
Speaker 1: I respect that. We already brought up on the broadcast.

545
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:47,200
Speaker 1: Stopped telling us Sga and Nikile Alexander Walker cousins. Please,

546
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:48,439
Speaker 1: we got it.

547
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 2: These guys are cousins.

548
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:49,840
Speaker 1: We got it.

549
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:54,199
Speaker 3: I hadn't seen that picture though. That was new, the

550
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:57,080
Speaker 3: picture of them as babies or as like kids, like

551
00:24:57,119 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 3: the three or four, So they're actually cousin. That's real.

552
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 3: That was not a I that was a real photo. Okay, good,

553
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:05,080
Speaker 3: I had never seen it. I was unseen.

554
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:05,800
Speaker 1: Was that a new one?

555
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:08,119
Speaker 2: Because they showed that, they showed the picture of like

556
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:09,240
Speaker 2: their two headshots next to it.

557
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:10,080
Speaker 1: That's what I've seen.

558
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:13,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've seen it a ton of times, like a

559
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:15,080
Speaker 2: ton of times during Game one as well.

560
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 3: Their currents.

561
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:19,320
Speaker 2: Like they're sitting on a couch or something together.

562
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:20,919
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, they've showed.

563
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:21,000
Speaker 1: It a lot.

564
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,680
Speaker 2: There's only one photo of them together.

565
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:26,639
Speaker 3: I hadn't seen it. Well, they were not a couch,

566
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:28,040
Speaker 3: so maybe it's a different one. I don't know.

567
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:29,240
Speaker 2: We'll see.

568
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:34,160
Speaker 1: Probably let's get into one of the hot topics from

569
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:36,400
Speaker 1: last night, at least on the internet. We'll use Sean

570
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:38,639
Speaker 1: Fantasy's tweet here to get us started, because there was

571
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:42,440
Speaker 1: this sentiment of the foulings up three strategy that okay,

572
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:45,520
Speaker 1: see implemented in this game and successfully, if we're being honest,

573
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:47,400
Speaker 1: in the end, it turned into a free throw contest.

574
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:50,920
Speaker 1: Quote from Fantasy. The NBA needs to do something about

575
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:54,879
Speaker 1: intentionally fouling up three. It's the worst possible experience for

576
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:59,920
Speaker 1: end of game enjoyment. End quote Again, TK a whole

577
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:04,119
Speaker 1: lot of this. Do you agree? If so, do you

578
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 1: have ideas to fix it? Or maybe you're like, it's

579
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 1: okay and in fact, we've already seen it this postseason

580
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:12,320
Speaker 1: backfire on the thunder who did it in that loss

581
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 1: to the Nuggets where they probably did it too early

582
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:15,959
Speaker 1: and obviously miss free throws. What's your take on all this?

583
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:20,959
Speaker 2: I agree that it's boring, super boring to watch it

584
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:22,639
Speaker 2: come down to free throws at the end. But it

585
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 2: always comes down to free throws at the end, And

586
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:28,639
Speaker 2: my worry would be that if they get rid of

587
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:31,080
Speaker 2: this fouling down three and put some sort of rules

588
00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:33,320
Speaker 2: about it about when and where you can foul depending

589
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:36,080
Speaker 2: on time and score. It'll rob us of the rare

590
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:39,879
Speaker 2: actual comebacks that happen in scenarios like this, because they

591
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:42,160
Speaker 2: do happen. I mean, we've seen the Pacers pull off

592
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:45,440
Speaker 2: three comebacks where they were down ten points in less

593
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:49,520
Speaker 2: than a minute. If you're taking away they're fouling strategies.

594
00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:52,920
Speaker 2: Do those not happen? Maybe? I just I don't know.

595
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:55,199
Speaker 2: There's there's got to be a better way. Should we

596
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 2: just get rid of all free throws period? That would

597
00:26:56,840 --> 00:27:02,199
Speaker 2: be the treath free throws? Literally, O body, but it

598
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:04,399
Speaker 2: was annoying. It just takes the wind out of your sales.

599
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:07,200
Speaker 2: You're like, ooh, is the guy that she's ninety percent

600
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:09,440
Speaker 2: gonna finally miss one right now? Say? Did he did

601
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:11,320
Speaker 2: miss one down the stretch? But then he made the

602
00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:13,120
Speaker 2: other five of six that he took.

603
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:16,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, And of course you know they again diagnal leans

604
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:19,320
Speaker 1: into okay, we're up three, Well, just foul nas Red

605
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 1: he's catching it. Just foul him right away, Like well,

606
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:23,119
Speaker 1: we'll live with him going to the free throw line.

607
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:24,800
Speaker 1: And then you get into like, obviously, then they have

608
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 1: to decide, well, when are we gonna try and miss

609
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:29,040
Speaker 1: a free throw on purpose? And near the end they

610
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:31,439
Speaker 1: did miss one, and you know, Sga got it and

611
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 1: then chucked it away and then the guy caught it

612
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:34,680
Speaker 1: out of balance, and then they decided there was point

613
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 1: three seconds left. It was just sort of an odd

614
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:40,440
Speaker 1: little ending to this game as well, Doris getting upset

615
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:42,840
Speaker 1: with the guy catching it too, like he's Steve Bartman.

616
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 1: God damn both thrown to him on the sidelines. The

617
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:49,320
Speaker 1: game was also over. But anyway, back to the fouling

618
00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:52,640
Speaker 1: up three strategy. As a you know, as a viewer,

619
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:55,119
Speaker 1: do you hate it? Can you live with it? Do

620
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:57,159
Speaker 1: you want the elam ending? Do you want to get nuts? Like,

621
00:27:57,400 --> 00:27:58,160
Speaker 1: what's your tape?

622
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:02,040
Speaker 3: Well, if I'm in the league, I do think let's

623
00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:04,520
Speaker 3: call Sharif Abdurahim, the president of the G League, and

624
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:07,159
Speaker 3: say we're employing this next year to give it a

625
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:09,640
Speaker 3: shot in the G League to see how it works.

626
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:12,600
Speaker 3: It will be sort of few and far between, I

627
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:17,800
Speaker 3: guess in games, because how often does this happen? But

628
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:20,080
Speaker 3: you got to give it a shot. I get it,

629
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:21,560
Speaker 3: And what do you.

630
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:23,760
Speaker 1: Mean giving a shot? What do you think is the

631
00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 1: solution to the fouling up three thing? Well, when you

632
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 1: know the defense is doing that because they have the lead.

633
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:32,960
Speaker 3: The whole Nate Duncan suggestion that he was also doing

634
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:36,600
Speaker 3: the tweets last night, and he suggested that if the

635
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:41,640
Speaker 3: shot clock is off, that a team literally can't intentionally

636
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:45,200
Speaker 3: foul beyond the three point line, and if so, they

637
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:51,200
Speaker 3: get the ball and free throws shot sorry, one shot

638
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:51,560
Speaker 3: in the ball.

639
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 1: That's what he said. He said to eliminate the smart

640
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:55,880
Speaker 1: play of fouling up three is that it should be

641
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:58,280
Speaker 1: one shot and the ball. If you foul outside the

642
00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:00,240
Speaker 1: three point line up three with the shot clock off,

643
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:01,760
Speaker 1: that was neat idea.

644
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:02,640
Speaker 3: I guess so.

645
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:05,440
Speaker 1: So you were saying, though, try it, give it a go.

646
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:07,080
Speaker 1: In the G league, that's.

647
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:10,120
Speaker 3: What we do. That's what it's for. I understand the

648
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:12,480
Speaker 3: NBA is looking at the NFL and saying, well, we

649
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:14,640
Speaker 3: could be we could be more exciting than that, Like

650
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:17,040
Speaker 3: our guys don't need to kneel at the end of

651
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 3: the game. It's so boring because the NBA is that

652
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:24,200
Speaker 3: exciting minute to minute. Is it the most exciting sport

653
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:26,760
Speaker 3: in the game in the world. I should say probably,

654
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 3: I would say so minute. I know it's it's like,

655
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:34,280
Speaker 3: I know it's annoying. Yeah, like the most exciting sport

656
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:37,960
Speaker 3: per minute. It's like asking who's the best fighter per pound?

657
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:39,960
Speaker 3: Because it is.

658
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 2: Scoring.

659
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:45,360
Speaker 3: There's a lot of scoring obviously, Yeah, and things can end.

660
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:47,760
Speaker 3: It's not soccer that you can be a four nothing game,

661
00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:50,880
Speaker 3: right or you know, it's not football or a guy's

662
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:53,640
Speaker 3: kneeling at the end of the game. So I would

663
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:58,320
Speaker 3: try it out. It doesn't take away from these teams

664
00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:02,000
Speaker 3: coming back. I don't maybe yes, maybe no. I mean,

665
00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:04,920
Speaker 3: so that's the that's why we're gonna try it. I mean,

666
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:07,480
Speaker 3: I have no real answer.

667
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:09,480
Speaker 1: What we're getting out here is we just said this

668
00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:12,040
Speaker 1: game was awesome. It was for like forty seven minutes

669
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:15,080
Speaker 1: or whatever. It was like, this is an incredible basketball game.

670
00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:17,959
Speaker 1: The shot making, the defense, the drama, the MVP on

671
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:19,480
Speaker 1: one side doing all the other guys with all this,

672
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:22,280
Speaker 1: all the narratives, all the stories. But then it happens,

673
00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:24,400
Speaker 1: and we've seen it happen. Is like these good basketball

674
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:27,560
Speaker 1: games just get super anti climactic. And you said it, Tray,

675
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:29,760
Speaker 1: It's like suddenly, just like can a good free throw

676
00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:32,760
Speaker 1: shooter just h his free throw and it's like that's

677
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:34,960
Speaker 1: a skill, I mean, and he did miss one. And

678
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 1: also maybe as the defense anybody but him. You can

679
00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:41,320
Speaker 1: put three guys on Shay and leave somebody else open

680
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:44,000
Speaker 1: and maybe you know whatever their strategy to it all,

681
00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:47,000
Speaker 1: and you can screw it up. But it's it's just

682
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:49,680
Speaker 1: not as fun. It's just like go watch you know

683
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:53,080
Speaker 1: how the NBA clips, like the wild ending to the

684
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:56,120
Speaker 1: game go watch Last Nights. It's a ten minute clip

685
00:30:56,880 --> 00:30:58,840
Speaker 1: and the game time they show you is something like

686
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 1: two minutes because it's and this is them editing crap

687
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:05,440
Speaker 1: out too. It took so long because of all of this,

688
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:07,200
Speaker 1: because the foul the found, the fel the fela is

689
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:10,160
Speaker 1: basically going both ways. So that's not that's not good.

690
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:13,160
Speaker 1: It's not a good product. It isn't unless you're like

691
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:14,000
Speaker 1: a free throw cicco.

692
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:17,560
Speaker 2: I've only ever known exactly one.

693
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:20,800
Speaker 1: But it's just not especially for casuals and even diehards,

694
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:22,640
Speaker 1: where it's like, oh, we want entertaining, we want to

695
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:24,960
Speaker 1: be decided on tough shots and stuff like that. So

696
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:27,080
Speaker 1: I get it, but I like the idea of trying

697
00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:29,200
Speaker 1: one of these rules. Hell, if you want to go

698
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:32,080
Speaker 1: elam ending. I think that has complications as well. That

699
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:34,360
Speaker 1: could end on free throws too, and you can get

700
00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 1: into different scenarios there. But I'm with you. Try stuff

701
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:39,920
Speaker 1: in the in the G League and see if it

702
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:41,680
Speaker 1: gives us a better product. And it does, then you

703
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 1: bring it up.

704
00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 3: We'll be at Summer League most likely in six weeks.

705
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:48,160
Speaker 3: We can try it there. Right there, it.

706
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:51,520
Speaker 1: Summer League in six weeks.

707
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:58,600
Speaker 3: My god, it's pretty soon. Nice days are long, but

708
00:31:58,720 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 3: the months are short.

709
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 1: Let's hear from you. When it comes to the intentionally

710
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:05,520
Speaker 1: felling up three? Do you hate it? Can you live

711
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:07,800
Speaker 1: with it? Is a lot of counters are like, well,

712
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:11,560
Speaker 1: don't be down three. You know to the team, that's fair,

713
00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:14,720
Speaker 1: absolutely fair. What's your opinion on it? I know you're

714
00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:16,560
Speaker 1: letting us know in the stream team right now, continue

715
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:19,400
Speaker 1: the conversation in the YouTube comments and you can tweet

716
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 1: out us as well at no dunk sink.

717
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:24,360
Speaker 3: I don't like free throws, but now I'm starting to

718
00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:27,840
Speaker 3: think of the team that ends up being fouled. Like, okay,

719
00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:30,800
Speaker 3: see in this scenario, who are fricking money from the line.

720
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:34,240
Speaker 3: But if you're an arena and you're watching the opposing

721
00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:36,560
Speaker 3: team go to the line. You're kind of excited.

722
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:38,960
Speaker 2: You're like, all right, we're gonna make this guy miss.

723
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:42,240
Speaker 3: You know that kind of it is sort of exciting. Playstops.

724
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:45,080
Speaker 3: It's not quite like a Wedgie planks where the play

725
00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:47,200
Speaker 3: stops and you can just admire it. But it's you know,

726
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:48,760
Speaker 3: it is boring.

727
00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:52,640
Speaker 1: There's pressure, it's nobody, but you're like, nobody's upset with

728
00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:55,080
Speaker 1: that part of the school strategy. It's the flip side

729
00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:57,600
Speaker 1: of it. It's the team that is on defense that

730
00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:00,560
Speaker 1: is up three points, that is like decided because the

731
00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:02,640
Speaker 1: numbers seem to work out in their favor, especially if

732
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:04,720
Speaker 1: you have a decent free throw shooting team. Hey, instead

733
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:06,600
Speaker 1: of letting this guy because all these guys can shoot

734
00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:08,320
Speaker 1: threes now and they're so damn good at it and

735
00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:11,160
Speaker 1: they can pull from thirty five, instead of getting Damian

736
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:15,080
Speaker 1: Lillard or whatever or Halliburton or whoever, just follow them, yep,

737
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:17,400
Speaker 1: And that's not as exciting. It's just not we want

738
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:20,400
Speaker 1: to see the crazy Halliburton shot. We bounce up and

739
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:22,800
Speaker 1: go in. They could have filed. You should have follow

740
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:28,080
Speaker 1: the well, actually no, they couldn't down anyway. But let's

741
00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:30,160
Speaker 1: hear from you man, we could go on all day

742
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:30,640
Speaker 1: about this.

743
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:33,520
Speaker 2: Maybe they should. Maybe the NBA should just get more

744
00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:38,240
Speaker 2: lenient with giving players the three point attempt when they're

745
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:40,680
Speaker 2: going for the foul, because in general, if a player

746
00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:42,840
Speaker 2: is going for like the intentional foul, even if they

747
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:45,360
Speaker 2: chuck it up, you're not getting that call very often.

748
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:48,440
Speaker 2: Maybe they should say, we're calling it continuation.

749
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:50,600
Speaker 1: Go why do you say that? Because I thought maybe

750
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:53,120
Speaker 1: it's a little body language doctor here. I thought that

751
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:55,880
Speaker 1: the Wolves were a little upset with naz Reid that okay,

752
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:58,600
Speaker 1: because they had a foul to give, so that thunder

753
00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:00,400
Speaker 1: foul I think they failed. Not is Actually then it

754
00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:02,360
Speaker 1: went back to nas on the side, and I thought

755
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:04,560
Speaker 1: they were a little upset. The Wolves were like, hey, man, like,

756
00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:07,600
Speaker 1: you know, turn and pretend you're gonna shoot at least

757
00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:09,520
Speaker 1: cause maybe you'll get the three point call. Now he

758
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:11,239
Speaker 1: did it sort of at all, sort of just caught it.

759
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:13,000
Speaker 1: It was a smart, quick foul. And then of course

760
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:14,960
Speaker 1: we had the Anthony Edwards one where that one they're

761
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:17,279
Speaker 1: bringing it up to court and they're like, okay, just

762
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:19,120
Speaker 1: when he gets around half court, it's probably not gonna

763
00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:19,680
Speaker 1: pull from there.

764
00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:23,200
Speaker 2: Crucis are perfect, right, right right. Broadcast went nuts for

765
00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:23,680
Speaker 2: that foul.

766
00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:26,760
Speaker 1: Okay, here's another thing. If you want to like try

767
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:30,160
Speaker 1: and fix this without changing any rules, these guys gotta

768
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:33,080
Speaker 1: get a lot better at missing free throws. Sure, I

769
00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:35,160
Speaker 1: mean yeah, we have talked to Brent Barry about this

770
00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:37,760
Speaker 1: in the past. Years ago. He said that the Spurs

771
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:41,680
Speaker 1: used to in practice, literally go through practice trying to

772
00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:44,120
Speaker 1: miss free throws on certain parts of the rim so

773
00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:46,960
Speaker 1: it would bounce certain ways. These guys are that skilled

774
00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:49,640
Speaker 1: that they can do that. You know, like, all right, hey,

775
00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:51,400
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna have it miss and it's going

776
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:53,880
Speaker 1: to go to the right corner. So don't even pretend, like,

777
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:55,640
Speaker 1: you know, pretend to line up and box out, but

778
00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:57,520
Speaker 1: don't just sprint to the right corner. That's where the

779
00:34:57,520 --> 00:35:00,640
Speaker 1: ball's going. I mean, you could have guessed. Continue to

780
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:02,359
Speaker 1: work on this. I know the ball has a mind

781
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:03,920
Speaker 1: of its own when it hits that rim sometimes, but

782
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:07,680
Speaker 1: they are that good. So, uh, maybe that's another way

783
00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:08,319
Speaker 1: to defeat this.

784
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:10,520
Speaker 2: It's like, that's a great point. I mean, that's one

785
00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:12,920
Speaker 2: of the most exciting plays in all of basketball, is

786
00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:15,000
Speaker 2: the intentionally miss free throw that actually works out.

787
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:16,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, So if you ban that.

788
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:17,880
Speaker 2: If you ban this foul, that never happens.

789
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:20,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, and we've seen people do the quick like the

790
00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:22,759
Speaker 1: quick one yep, off the front the rock. Sometimes that works.

791
00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:25,520
Speaker 2: Sometimes they just line up six inches to the right. Yeah,

792
00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:27,440
Speaker 2: shoot it normal, you're gonna miss.

793
00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:29,320
Speaker 3: Oh God, great stuff.

794
00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:30,760
Speaker 1: Good stop talking free throws.

795
00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:34,400
Speaker 2: We're talking free throws. Two or four games after this series,

796
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:35,520
Speaker 2: we're talking free throws.

797
00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:39,640
Speaker 1: Well, there's been a lot of you would consider anytime

798
00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:41,640
Speaker 1: SGA gets fouled that we're talking about those.

799
00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:46,080
Speaker 3: Although we did skip over miss free throws by the Timberwolves.

800
00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:49,839
Speaker 3: They missed six free throws overall and they lose by

801
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:53,600
Speaker 3: two points. Rudy shouldn't practice missing free throws. He should

802
00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:56,920
Speaker 3: practice making it. It wasn't it wasn't that bad. Rudy

803
00:35:57,360 --> 00:35:59,799
Speaker 3: missed three of the six miss free throws. Random miss

804
00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:04,359
Speaker 3: one one. Uh, Anthony Edwards missed one plus another one

805
00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:08,680
Speaker 3: which doesn't count. Although you know the thunder didn't shoot

806
00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:11,320
Speaker 3: all that great from three from the free throw line either. Okay,

807
00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:11,680
Speaker 3: that's the.

808
00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:15,719
Speaker 1: Loneliest plus enough. Okay, that's enough. Thunder up three one.

809
00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:17,640
Speaker 1: Do you think it's a rap there on Wednesday night?

810
00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:19,520
Speaker 1: Or can the Wolves maybe give us a game six.

811
00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:20,040
Speaker 1: I had a.

812
00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:22,839
Speaker 2: Couple more uh yeah, little random notes for you here.

813
00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:25,279
Speaker 2: I like, Schegg, you have this Alexander going through the

814
00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:28,200
Speaker 2: legs of was it go bear? I don't know who

815
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:29,560
Speaker 2: it was. If he went through the legs and found

816
00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:31,719
Speaker 2: Jalen Williams for a three pointer in the corner, and

817
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:34,600
Speaker 2: he intentionally went through the guy's legs through the pass,

818
00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:38,719
Speaker 2: but also his whole body went at least like a

819
00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:39,200
Speaker 2: third of.

820
00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:40,360
Speaker 1: The way through the wickets.

821
00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:43,680
Speaker 2: That was an incredible play. And to keep his foot stationary,

822
00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:45,600
Speaker 2: the guy almost did the splits and then went through

823
00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:46,680
Speaker 2: the legs. That was pretty cool.

824
00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:48,000
Speaker 1: That was amazing.

825
00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:50,480
Speaker 3: I like that through the five hole. You think all

826
00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:52,800
Speaker 3: those Canadian friends are like through.

827
00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:56,680
Speaker 2: They're just naming goalies in the locker room afterwards.

828
00:36:57,440 --> 00:37:01,040
Speaker 1: V's brook nice Patrick.

829
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:05,800
Speaker 2: Waw would you name goalies or would you name scorers?

830
00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:08,480
Speaker 2: I don't know. Yeah, I want to Airlbatie out there.

831
00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:11,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like, I wonder what goal scorer in NHL history

832
00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:13,720
Speaker 1: has gone through the five hole the most.

833
00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:16,480
Speaker 2: I bet it's Gretzky. I'm just willing to guess.

834
00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:24,640
Speaker 3: It was really a five hole guy wasn't going through the.

835
00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:28,960
Speaker 2: I mean, it's just probably Gretzky. It's like guessing Wilt Chamberlain's.

836
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:30,360
Speaker 1: Probably well, yeah, that's true.

837
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:34,000
Speaker 2: Also, loud Door drew two offensive fouls fighting over screens

838
00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:36,640
Speaker 2: last night. He just he just goes horizontal.

839
00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:37,200
Speaker 1: He just chucks.

840
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:39,160
Speaker 2: He just chucks himself horizontal. Very funny.

841
00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:39,520
Speaker 3: Uh.

842
00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:42,359
Speaker 2: And then last we talked about it briefly. The fan

843
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:45,520
Speaker 2: catching the ball on Jay Gilders. Alexander's like desperation heave

844
00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:47,719
Speaker 2: at the end. He's sitting down on the ground, can't

845
00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:49,759
Speaker 2: go through anybody's legs, so he just decided to chuck it,

846
00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:51,439
Speaker 2: and a dude in the sunlight catches the ball.

847
00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:52,760
Speaker 1: Very cool.

848
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:56,120
Speaker 2: Stop the clock at point one seconds. They show the replay.

849
00:37:56,640 --> 00:37:58,880
Speaker 2: It looked like he caught it at point six seconds,

850
00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:01,279
Speaker 2: and somehow they put point three seconds back on the

851
00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:01,799
Speaker 2: clock and.

852
00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:04,840
Speaker 1: Never from what I could can recall, it like didn't

853
00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:08,120
Speaker 1: explain it at all, Like, yeah, they did, they did

854
00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:10,400
Speaker 1: discuss what they were doing, and they just decided on

855
00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:13,480
Speaker 1: point three. I mean, did they just decide, like this

856
00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:16,360
Speaker 1: game's over, but give them a chance to catch and shoot.

857
00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:20,200
Speaker 1: It felt like, yeah, yeah, point three is obviously the amount.

858
00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:22,359
Speaker 2: Of time not giving you a full point six that's

859
00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:25,279
Speaker 2: ridiculous because it's fan interference, but you should get a

860
00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:26,319
Speaker 2: little bit more time back.

861
00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:29,160
Speaker 1: It's felt like, man like, did we ever get a

862
00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:31,200
Speaker 1: good angle? Like, I mean, people are crapping on that guy,

863
00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:34,840
Speaker 1: But was like, did he really reach in bounds to

864
00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:37,759
Speaker 1: catch it? In his defense, I thought he was. He

865
00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:40,120
Speaker 1: stood up and then the ball was coming at him

866
00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:42,040
Speaker 1: and he did catch it while he was standing at

867
00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:44,960
Speaker 1: a bounce. Yeah, I don't think that's like, I don't know.

868
00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:46,840
Speaker 1: I don't think he did anything wrong in my opinion.

869
00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:48,920
Speaker 1: You know I would have caught it. I know you

870
00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:50,239
Speaker 1: would have caught it. You would have caught it. We

871
00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:52,160
Speaker 1: all would have caught it. I'm sorry, you're not gonna

872
00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:53,480
Speaker 1: be like, oh, you would have reached.

873
00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:55,920
Speaker 2: You would have reached courtword in the biggest moment of

874
00:38:55,920 --> 00:38:58,480
Speaker 2: the game. I don't believe that. I don't think he

875
00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:01,000
Speaker 2: reached on the court. I just said, Okay, so maybe

876
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:04,040
Speaker 2: he didn't. Maybe he didn't theoretically cross that tiny line,

877
00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:05,879
Speaker 2: but he was reaching towards the court. If the ball

878
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:08,719
Speaker 2: would have been a centimeter further to the left and

879
00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:11,319
Speaker 2: it was in the court, it wouldn't have been I mean,

880
00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:13,960
Speaker 2: it was a brilliant move. He absolutely should try and

881
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:16,520
Speaker 2: do it to get it on purpose. I think he

882
00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:19,399
Speaker 2: just instinctively grabbed a basketball. See if I don't think

883
00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:21,279
Speaker 2: your I don't think your instincts would do that.

884
00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:24,799
Speaker 1: Oh I disagree. I know I would do that. Are

885
00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:27,319
Speaker 1: you kidding me? If I touched the ball, you right now,

886
00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:28,840
Speaker 1: You're immediately gonna catch it, Tray.

887
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:31,200
Speaker 2: Not if I'm sitting court side at a game. Not

888
00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:32,160
Speaker 2: if I'm sitting court side.

889
00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:33,640
Speaker 1: I disagree. I disagree.

890
00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:39,239
Speaker 3: Well, he was standing new rule sit in your seat. Yeah,

891
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:41,680
Speaker 3: that should be instituted immediately.

892
00:39:41,719 --> 00:39:43,920
Speaker 1: He gave the They were building a statue for that

893
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:46,399
Speaker 1: guy if they had pulled off a miraculous three there

894
00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:49,719
Speaker 1: because he got them more time. Yeah, he did just

895
00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:51,920
Speaker 1: by just by catching it. I don't know what I mean.

896
00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:53,960
Speaker 1: Did it just slip out of SHA's hands?

897
00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:55,080
Speaker 2: Obviously he was just trying.

898
00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:56,360
Speaker 3: Great question, Great question.

899
00:39:56,600 --> 00:39:59,279
Speaker 2: Josh on the stream team, thank you for your super chat,

900
00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:02,160
Speaker 2: says people came complaining that the refs only put point

901
00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:04,560
Speaker 2: three seconds on the clock, but for some reason, no

902
00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:06,799
Speaker 2: one's pointing out that the ball was off. Rudy am

903
00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:09,319
Speaker 2: I wrong? Did Rudy go bar tip the ball when

904
00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:11,600
Speaker 2: Shay was sitting down because of me. It looked like

905
00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:14,400
Speaker 2: he I mean, he just rears back and chucks like

906
00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:16,120
Speaker 2: he's probably trying to chuck it down to the the

907
00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:18,839
Speaker 2: middle of the court, and it goes sideways to the left.

908
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:21,600
Speaker 2: So maybe Rudy tipped it, Yeah, which means that it

909
00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:24,200
Speaker 2: should have been thunderball.

910
00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:26,920
Speaker 1: It didn't matter the end, well, did was it? Who

911
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:30,080
Speaker 1: inbounded the play at the end like the Randall which

912
00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:31,920
Speaker 1: obviously came up a million feet short? But was that

913
00:40:31,960 --> 00:40:34,359
Speaker 1: tipped by Holmgren or did he just throw the worst

914
00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:34,879
Speaker 1: pass ever?

915
00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:38,720
Speaker 3: Yeah? I don't know, no idea.

916
00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:41,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, did they really show a replay? I don't know.

917
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:43,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't remember.

918
00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:46,120
Speaker 3: Though they didn't get there. Well. Julius Randall, I think

919
00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:48,080
Speaker 3: wanted to take a step back and get more room

920
00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:50,520
Speaker 3: and get a little bit more momentum. But that fan

921
00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:52,839
Speaker 3: was standing right behind him, So I just made that up.

922
00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:56,839
Speaker 3: That fan was not there, but Julius Randall needed in

923
00:40:56,840 --> 00:40:59,600
Speaker 3: that scenario. I think he actually should have taken a

924
00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:02,120
Speaker 3: little that back because you've got a seven footer on

925
00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:05,680
Speaker 3: your face when you're trying to throw a ball sixty

926
00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:07,680
Speaker 3: feet or whatever it is fifteen feet.

927
00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:10,080
Speaker 1: Well, at least give it some arc. I don't know

928
00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:11,719
Speaker 1: if it was tipped on. I mean, I'm guessing it

929
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:13,480
Speaker 1: was because it was so short.

930
00:41:13,239 --> 00:41:14,279
Speaker 3: But then it's pretty short.

931
00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:15,880
Speaker 1: Maybe you just flubbed it.

932
00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:17,600
Speaker 3: I don't Yeah, they were.

933
00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:19,799
Speaker 1: Gonna need like a basically just like chuck it at

934
00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:21,560
Speaker 1: the rim and hopefully somebody tips it in or you

935
00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:22,520
Speaker 1: hope for a foul. In that call.

936
00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:25,800
Speaker 3: It was fun to see Rudy fighting below the hoop

937
00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:30,080
Speaker 3: because he thought it an aloop was coming. That was fun.

938
00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:35,279
Speaker 1: Ye okay, what a game? What a game. Let's get

939
00:41:35,280 --> 00:41:42,000
Speaker 1: in a little Is this news? I got some headlines

940
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:44,239
Speaker 1: for the guys here, let's debate whether or not they're

941
00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:48,279
Speaker 1: actually newsworthy. First one from Tim Bontemps of ESPN our

942
00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:52,479
Speaker 1: guy Timmy Good Times. Aaron Ne Smith likely game time

943
00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:56,160
Speaker 1: decision for Game four tonight, task will start with you.

944
00:41:56,440 --> 00:41:57,440
Speaker 1: Is this news?

945
00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:00,200
Speaker 3: This is news. I think it's good news for the

946
00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:05,400
Speaker 3: Pacers for a couple reasons. Number one, your guys fighting

947
00:42:05,600 --> 00:42:09,120
Speaker 3: through an injury and he is going to play. There's

948
00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:11,080
Speaker 3: no doubt in my mind that he is going to play.

949
00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:13,080
Speaker 3: If you're his teammates, you're going to see him on

950
00:42:13,160 --> 00:42:14,879
Speaker 3: the floor of course you're going to fight a little

951
00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:16,880
Speaker 3: bit extra just because that guy is out on the

952
00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:19,759
Speaker 3: floor for an injury that he played through. Frankly, he

953
00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:21,600
Speaker 3: did come back here in last game. And the second

954
00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:24,400
Speaker 3: reason why I think it matters is because he's got

955
00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:26,160
Speaker 3: an injury ankle. I don't think he's going to bite

956
00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:28,719
Speaker 3: for Jalen Brunson's pump fakes. He's going to stay on

957
00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:31,719
Speaker 3: the ground. So Jalen Brunson call him a free throw

958
00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:33,960
Speaker 3: merchant if you want. He will not be going to

959
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:36,240
Speaker 3: the free throw line because Aerony Smith, his main defender,

960
00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:37,319
Speaker 3: won't be jumping.

961
00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:39,359
Speaker 1: Because he doesn't trust one.

962
00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:39,759
Speaker 3: You know.

963
00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:41,560
Speaker 1: It's just like I do.

964
00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:45,319
Speaker 3: I imagine he'll be playing Okay, So that's pretty important here.

965
00:42:45,320 --> 00:42:47,880
Speaker 3: The guy is I Gues's kind of their life blood,

966
00:42:47,920 --> 00:42:50,160
Speaker 3: you know, he is their their bloodline in this in

967
00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:50,760
Speaker 3: this series.

968
00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:52,919
Speaker 1: He had a noticeable limp in the locker room after

969
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:55,680
Speaker 1: game three. But yeah, you know again these game times,

970
00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:58,120
Speaker 1: I guess his list is questionable. It's all the same thing,

971
00:42:58,360 --> 00:43:01,000
Speaker 1: like he's a baby here. TK could be the case

972
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:03,440
Speaker 1: of just how he feels in warm up tonight, or

973
00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:04,920
Speaker 1: they could just be playing us and he's gonna go

974
00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:07,880
Speaker 1: like tasaid, and they just want to keep the Knicks

975
00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:09,319
Speaker 1: guessing maybe a little bit.

976
00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:11,759
Speaker 2: What do you think he's gonna play. Maybe he'll be

977
00:43:11,760 --> 00:43:14,520
Speaker 2: listed as questionable, maybe he game time decision, but surely

978
00:43:14,560 --> 00:43:16,239
Speaker 2: he'll at least try and gut it out. He came

979
00:43:16,280 --> 00:43:18,279
Speaker 2: back and played in the fourth quarter. Didn't look very

980
00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:20,160
Speaker 2: good when he came back in the fourth quarter. His

981
00:43:20,239 --> 00:43:22,440
Speaker 2: two shots were inside the arc. Now part of that

982
00:43:22,560 --> 00:43:24,839
Speaker 2: is because New York wisely was trying to take away

983
00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:26,919
Speaker 2: his three pointer. See if he could make a play

984
00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:28,799
Speaker 2: on a bum ankle. He didn't look like he had

985
00:43:28,880 --> 00:43:31,280
Speaker 2: much lift on either of his floaters in the lane.

986
00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:34,160
Speaker 2: But Nee Smith has played ninety eight minutes so far

987
00:43:34,200 --> 00:43:36,200
Speaker 2: in this series. He's a plus twenty and the Pacers

988
00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:38,520
Speaker 2: lead the series by a grand total of two points.

989
00:43:38,600 --> 00:43:41,080
Speaker 2: So he is super valuable for him to have on

990
00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:43,359
Speaker 2: the court. The game kind of flipped in Game three

991
00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:46,680
Speaker 2: when he went out with his ankle injury. Indiana cruising

992
00:43:46,760 --> 00:43:49,520
Speaker 2: kind of up until that point and then just couldn't

993
00:43:49,520 --> 00:43:52,200
Speaker 2: get anything going, couldn't get stops on the defensive end.

994
00:43:52,200 --> 00:43:54,440
Speaker 2: When he came back, didn't really have a rhythm. He's

995
00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:57,440
Speaker 2: also been the main bruntson defender like Tassa saying, has

996
00:43:57,480 --> 00:43:59,960
Speaker 2: it mattered? I don't know. Brunton is ten for twenty

997
00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:03,520
Speaker 2: against aaron Ne Smith, but he's better than Nemhart is.

998
00:44:03,600 --> 00:44:06,880
Speaker 2: I think Shepherd'll probably get the bulk of the minutes

999
00:44:06,920 --> 00:44:10,280
Speaker 2: that go to anybody outside of Nie Smith. Shepherd's given

1000
00:44:10,320 --> 00:44:12,839
Speaker 2: them good effort. He's knocked down his very few three

1001
00:44:12,880 --> 00:44:15,160
Speaker 2: point attempts that he's had. But of course you'd rather

1002
00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:19,239
Speaker 2: have aaron Ne Smith out there, so his availability, I

1003
00:44:19,239 --> 00:44:21,799
Speaker 2: think he'll be there. But what he's actually able to

1004
00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:24,120
Speaker 2: provide to the pacers we shall see.

1005
00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:27,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, And how quickly if he is limited, how quickly Carlisle,

1006
00:44:27,120 --> 00:44:29,200
Speaker 1: You're right, pulls him or goes to somebody else, if

1007
00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:31,800
Speaker 1: he's like limping out there and maybe getting exposed a

1008
00:44:31,840 --> 00:44:34,200
Speaker 1: little bit and just not giving you what we've come

1009
00:44:34,239 --> 00:44:36,000
Speaker 1: to love about this guy, like called the heart and

1010
00:44:36,080 --> 00:44:38,560
Speaker 1: hustle from Nie Smith. But if the ankle's not bad,

1011
00:44:38,640 --> 00:44:40,799
Speaker 1: you know, you say he returned. But a lot of

1012
00:44:40,800 --> 00:44:43,200
Speaker 1: that can be adrenaline in the moment, and then that thing,

1013
00:44:43,239 --> 00:44:45,359
Speaker 1: you know, obviously the game ends, and that thing can

1014
00:44:45,360 --> 00:44:49,040
Speaker 1: swell up and be worse after the fact. I get you,

1015
00:44:49,120 --> 00:44:50,640
Speaker 1: it's like, oh, well, he played in the game, he

1016
00:44:50,680 --> 00:44:52,640
Speaker 1: got injured, but I think it does change a little bit. Sure,

1017
00:44:52,680 --> 00:44:54,399
Speaker 1: I'll have to say, I'm with you, guys. He's gonna

1018
00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:55,000
Speaker 1: give it a go at the.

1019
00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:56,480
Speaker 3: Very least going to give it a go. He has

1020
00:44:56,520 --> 00:44:59,200
Speaker 3: been a miracle maker for this team throughout the postseason,

1021
00:44:59,200 --> 00:45:02,279
Speaker 3: shooting a Ridiculs was fifty three percent from three in

1022
00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:04,799
Speaker 3: the playoffs. I mean, he is bowing, so they need

1023
00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:08,919
Speaker 3: him shooting threes. We'll let it affect his three point

1024
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:11,600
Speaker 3: shot and the way he gets way up to shoot

1025
00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:14,320
Speaker 3: his three point shot. Maybe perhaps, but he is just

1026
00:45:14,440 --> 00:45:17,759
Speaker 3: kind of their guy. He's an underrated guy, just not

1027
00:45:17,800 --> 00:45:19,680
Speaker 3: talked about guy. But you need him out there period.

1028
00:45:19,840 --> 00:45:22,640
Speaker 1: Next headlines. Sticking with this series, though, this one from

1029
00:45:22,680 --> 00:45:30,080
Speaker 1: Shaum's yesterday Tyrese Haliburton's dad allowed into Pacers home games TK.

1030
00:45:30,200 --> 00:45:33,200
Speaker 1: John Halliburton is going to be in the building tonight,

1031
00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:36,239
Speaker 1: but he's going to be in a suite. He will

1032
00:45:36,239 --> 00:45:38,960
Speaker 1: not be sitting courtside. Is this news?

1033
00:45:40,520 --> 00:45:42,400
Speaker 2: I guess this is technically news, and I think this

1034
00:45:42,480 --> 00:45:42,839
Speaker 2: is a.

1035
00:45:42,760 --> 00:45:46,480
Speaker 1: Fair slap on the Ris Pashman.

1036
00:45:46,719 --> 00:45:49,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm excited to say John Halliburton once again he

1037
00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:51,640
Speaker 2: missed eight games. He missed eight games. He's a player.

1038
00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:55,720
Speaker 2: He missed eight games including I will say two hugely

1039
00:45:55,760 --> 00:45:58,560
Speaker 2: notable Tyrese Halliburton games or the Big Balls game, and

1040
00:45:58,600 --> 00:46:01,160
Speaker 2: of course the Choke game. So I think it's fine

1041
00:46:01,239 --> 00:46:03,759
Speaker 2: he gets the comeback. Apparently the Pacers weren't thinking we're

1042
00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:06,759
Speaker 2: going to the conference finals, maybe the NBA Finals. We're

1043
00:46:06,760 --> 00:46:09,200
Speaker 2: gonna send this dat away for the entire time. There's

1044
00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:12,080
Speaker 2: no way they thought they were gonna be saying, go

1045
00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:14,080
Speaker 2: home for a month and a half, don't watch your

1046
00:46:14,080 --> 00:46:17,560
Speaker 2: son in person playing in the NBA finals. So that's interesting,

1047
00:46:17,600 --> 00:46:19,560
Speaker 2: but I think it works out fine. He's in a suite,

1048
00:46:19,640 --> 00:46:23,160
Speaker 2: he's not gonna be out there yelling at opponents. He's

1049
00:46:23,200 --> 00:46:24,799
Speaker 2: only going to be at the home games. This is

1050
00:46:24,840 --> 00:46:25,279
Speaker 2: fair to me.

1051
00:46:25,400 --> 00:46:28,680
Speaker 1: Okay, for those that don't remember, Pops missed the entire

1052
00:46:28,760 --> 00:46:31,640
Speaker 1: second round playoff series against the Cavaliers following an on

1053
00:46:31,800 --> 00:46:35,120
Speaker 1: court confrontation with Giannis at the end of Game five

1054
00:46:35,640 --> 00:46:38,640
Speaker 1: of that first round series where he was hyped coming

1055
00:46:38,719 --> 00:46:42,239
Speaker 1: out swearing at Giannis by all accounts, and that's why

1056
00:46:42,280 --> 00:46:44,319
Speaker 1: he got this punishment where he wasn't allowed to show

1057
00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:46,880
Speaker 1: up at these games. Tass is this news? And do

1058
00:46:46,920 --> 00:46:49,640
Speaker 1: you think he has served his time here and can

1059
00:46:49,680 --> 00:46:51,400
Speaker 1: now see his son play even if he's way up

1060
00:46:51,400 --> 00:46:51,920
Speaker 1: in the suite.

1061
00:46:52,040 --> 00:46:55,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, he ain't getting close to the floor like a

1062
00:46:55,120 --> 00:46:58,040
Speaker 3: good marriage. I think this is a good compromise by

1063
00:46:58,440 --> 00:47:03,880
Speaker 3: all parties here. John Haliburton apologized immediately afterwards. He said

1064
00:47:04,120 --> 00:47:08,200
Speaker 3: he would never do that again. And so the team

1065
00:47:08,239 --> 00:47:10,920
Speaker 3: goes to him and says, Okay, well how about we

1066
00:47:10,920 --> 00:47:13,240
Speaker 3: sit you in a sweet so that never happens again.

1067
00:47:13,560 --> 00:47:15,920
Speaker 3: I think everybody shakes hands and says, all right, that's

1068
00:47:15,920 --> 00:47:18,000
Speaker 3: a deal. We got a deal here, and I think

1069
00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:21,520
Speaker 3: it's good for also John Haliburton's wife, who I hope

1070
00:47:21,520 --> 00:47:24,560
Speaker 3: they have a great marriage together. But she was like

1071
00:47:24,800 --> 00:47:28,400
Speaker 3: right there when it happened. When she was he was

1072
00:47:28,400 --> 00:47:30,640
Speaker 3: bickering a yes, said goobo. Yannis came up to him.

1073
00:47:30,719 --> 00:47:32,560
Speaker 3: They went forehead to forehead for a brief second.

1074
00:47:34,360 --> 00:47:34,640
Speaker 1: She was.

1075
00:47:36,440 --> 00:47:41,360
Speaker 3: Slack job her mouth. John dropped. What is happening? She

1076
00:47:41,480 --> 00:47:43,719
Speaker 3: was wondering, And I think this is the best case

1077
00:47:43,760 --> 00:47:46,840
Speaker 3: scenario here. Yeah, he's handled it pretty well. I think

1078
00:47:47,600 --> 00:47:53,759
Speaker 3: I don't know John, Yeah.

1079
00:47:50,880 --> 00:47:55,000
Speaker 1: Ok, Jannas said, they cleared the air. John apologized. Halliburton

1080
00:47:55,040 --> 00:47:57,799
Speaker 1: Tyrese was like, yeah, me sort of like called out

1081
00:47:57,800 --> 00:47:59,640
Speaker 1: his dad to be honest, like it sort of stupid

1082
00:47:59,640 --> 00:48:02,360
Speaker 1: man bad look uh and then yeah again, this is

1083
00:48:02,400 --> 00:48:04,840
Speaker 1: not the NBA. The NBA did not say John Halliburton

1084
00:48:04,840 --> 00:48:07,400
Speaker 1: couldn't come. It was the Pacers themselves as an organization

1085
00:48:07,480 --> 00:48:10,480
Speaker 1: that said, all right, you gotta chill out here, John,

1086
00:48:11,120 --> 00:48:14,400
Speaker 1: waving your son's towel there. Maybe just take a moment,

1087
00:48:14,680 --> 00:48:16,279
Speaker 1: take a couple of games. But now he can get

1088
00:48:16,280 --> 00:48:18,799
Speaker 1: back in the building here. He will not be going

1089
00:48:18,840 --> 00:48:21,160
Speaker 1: to New York, back to Madison Square Guarden. He will

1090
00:48:21,160 --> 00:48:24,279
Speaker 1: not be allowed in road games. I guess you should do. Like,

1091
00:48:24,719 --> 00:48:27,080
Speaker 1: was it Bobby Valentine, the manager back in the day,

1092
00:48:27,760 --> 00:48:29,440
Speaker 1: got tossed from a game and then showed up in

1093
00:48:29,480 --> 00:48:34,520
Speaker 1: a mustache. Haliburton should try that, John Halliburton. Like for

1094
00:48:34,560 --> 00:48:35,360
Speaker 1: Madison Square.

1095
00:48:35,120 --> 00:48:39,160
Speaker 2: Garden, they do have facial recognition technology there for he

1096
00:48:39,239 --> 00:48:40,600
Speaker 2: got careful stolen.

1097
00:48:41,200 --> 00:48:44,600
Speaker 1: But could he just buy a ticket? I mean, I

1098
00:48:44,640 --> 00:48:47,040
Speaker 1: don't know, and not tell any of it, just only

1099
00:48:47,080 --> 00:48:49,440
Speaker 1: tell time, I would think so he could.

1100
00:48:49,239 --> 00:48:51,960
Speaker 2: Have easily been there. We have no idea they could

1101
00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:54,160
Speaker 2: even maybe they could have put him back court side again,

1102
00:48:54,160 --> 00:48:57,200
Speaker 2: just don't put him on the broadcast checking for John Funny.

1103
00:48:57,239 --> 00:48:58,839
Speaker 1: You said that I was gonna say, what's the over

1104
00:48:59,000 --> 00:49:02,759
Speaker 1: under on John Halliburton shots tonight on the broadcast T

1105
00:49:02,920 --> 00:49:05,040
Speaker 1: and T. How many? Like? What do you set the

1106
00:49:05,080 --> 00:49:06,920
Speaker 1: line up? One and a half? Two and a half?

1107
00:49:07,400 --> 00:49:09,240
Speaker 1: Like you know we're going to see him in the suite,

1108
00:49:09,520 --> 00:49:10,640
Speaker 1: yeah at least once?

1109
00:49:10,719 --> 00:49:11,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah?

1110
00:49:11,800 --> 00:49:13,479
Speaker 1: But how many times do we go back to him mountain?

1111
00:49:13,480 --> 00:49:13,600
Speaker 3: Does?

1112
00:49:13,680 --> 00:49:16,399
Speaker 1: Part of that depends on how Tyres is playing. He's

1113
00:49:16,440 --> 00:49:18,200
Speaker 1: cooking and probably see him more. Maybe he struggling to

1114
00:49:18,200 --> 00:49:20,800
Speaker 1: see him more. I don't know, But okay, let me

1115
00:49:20,840 --> 00:49:23,239
Speaker 1: set the line at two and a half and a half.

1116
00:49:23,320 --> 00:49:25,479
Speaker 1: John Halliburtons, what do you got over under?

1117
00:49:26,600 --> 00:49:30,239
Speaker 3: Two and a half? John's I'm going under. I'm going under.

1118
00:49:30,320 --> 00:49:35,520
Speaker 1: Do we count the pregame? They have a short pregame?

1119
00:49:36,280 --> 00:49:38,880
Speaker 1: Come on, we should count those. Okay, you're going on?

1120
00:49:38,920 --> 00:49:42,640
Speaker 2: Okay from from eight o'clock hour until game. I think

1121
00:49:42,640 --> 00:49:44,839
Speaker 2: I'm under as well. I don't think that they want

1122
00:49:44,840 --> 00:49:45,640
Speaker 2: this to be the story.

1123
00:49:46,960 --> 00:49:50,200
Speaker 1: But TNT man, what is TN? T care? This is like?

1124
00:49:50,280 --> 00:49:50,759
Speaker 1: This is good.

1125
00:49:50,800 --> 00:49:52,960
Speaker 2: That's a good point.

1126
00:49:53,320 --> 00:49:56,000
Speaker 1: Give me the over, Give me three, John Halliburtons.

1127
00:49:58,080 --> 00:50:00,640
Speaker 2: Three John halliburtons.

1128
00:50:00,400 --> 00:50:03,560
Speaker 3: They got to show ESPN that they do broadcast right,

1129
00:50:04,600 --> 00:50:07,719
Speaker 3: because they're going to ESPN. I don't know, is this

1130
00:50:07,760 --> 00:50:11,960
Speaker 3: their swan song or is this their this is their

1131
00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:13,000
Speaker 3: audition tape.

1132
00:50:14,080 --> 00:50:17,080
Speaker 1: I already got the gig. I got sort of final

1133
00:50:17,120 --> 00:50:20,880
Speaker 1: headline here. CBS Sports gives us this one. Gary Peyton

1134
00:50:20,960 --> 00:50:26,120
Speaker 1: defends MAVs GM Nico Harrison after Luca Dante's trade Trey Herby,

1135
00:50:26,200 --> 00:50:26,800
Speaker 1: is this news?

1136
00:50:26,880 --> 00:50:29,280
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, This is just a man defending

1137
00:50:29,280 --> 00:50:32,080
Speaker 2: his friend. Okay, this would be like us saying Matt's right,

1138
00:50:32,680 --> 00:50:37,280
Speaker 2: sometimes you should drive on rumble strips. Everybody knows it's wrong,

1139
00:50:37,400 --> 00:50:42,920
Speaker 2: but it's still supportive. I don't know. I think the

1140
00:50:42,960 --> 00:50:46,280
Speaker 2: most interesting thing that Gary Payton said is it wasn't

1141
00:50:46,360 --> 00:50:49,000
Speaker 2: Nico's call. It wasn't his decision. He made a decision

1142
00:50:49,160 --> 00:50:52,000
Speaker 2: on what he was told to do or what had Yeah,

1143
00:50:52,080 --> 00:50:53,920
Speaker 2: I thought that was So when we ever hear the

1144
00:50:53,920 --> 00:50:56,799
Speaker 2: full story of how this came about, who knows? It

1145
00:50:56,800 --> 00:51:01,200
Speaker 2: won't be for decades honestly, uh, or at least until

1146
00:51:01,239 --> 00:51:03,400
Speaker 2: Nico Harrison is no longer the GM of the Mavericks.

1147
00:51:03,400 --> 00:51:06,840
Speaker 2: But they've got a relationship going back. Gary Payton and Nico.

1148
00:51:06,960 --> 00:51:09,880
Speaker 2: He says that Nico looks at him like Gary's the

1149
00:51:09,880 --> 00:51:12,319
Speaker 2: older brother and the relationship, so of course he's gonna

1150
00:51:12,320 --> 00:51:14,200
Speaker 2: be supporting his guy. Yeah.

1151
00:51:14,280 --> 00:51:18,520
Speaker 3: I reread those words multiple times, thinking is he giving

1152
00:51:18,560 --> 00:51:22,520
Speaker 3: something away by saying he's the president general manager, he

1153
00:51:22,560 --> 00:51:26,279
Speaker 3: can't make the calls alone. It wasn't his call, It

1154
00:51:26,320 --> 00:51:29,319
Speaker 3: wasn't his decision. He made a decision on what he

1155
00:51:29,400 --> 00:51:31,440
Speaker 3: was told to do or what had to be done.

1156
00:51:32,080 --> 00:51:33,080
Speaker 3: So then I read into it.

1157
00:51:33,560 --> 00:51:36,160
Speaker 2: Maybe was somebody, maybe that's Patrick.

1158
00:51:35,920 --> 00:51:40,000
Speaker 3: Dumont or somebody in ownership that pushed him to do that.

1159
00:51:40,200 --> 00:51:43,440
Speaker 3: But then I say, it's Gary.

1160
00:51:43,840 --> 00:51:44,200
Speaker 2: Gary.

1161
00:51:44,400 --> 00:51:47,239
Speaker 3: He does like to talk, yeah, and he is defending

1162
00:51:47,680 --> 00:51:50,080
Speaker 3: his friend, So I think that's probably what it is.

1163
00:51:50,280 --> 00:51:52,400
Speaker 3: It was probably Nico Harrison's decision.

1164
00:51:53,000 --> 00:51:55,920
Speaker 1: This was on Gary saying all this and standing for

1165
00:51:56,000 --> 00:51:58,480
Speaker 1: Nico on the Club five to twenty podcast. Yeah we'll

1166
00:51:58,520 --> 00:52:01,439
Speaker 1: shout it to Tigue and that crew. He was saying this,

1167
00:52:01,520 --> 00:52:04,440
Speaker 1: and the other part that Gary Payton was saying was

1168
00:52:04,640 --> 00:52:07,640
Speaker 1: the idea of like, hey, the Mavericks aren't bad if

1169
00:52:07,640 --> 00:52:10,520
Speaker 1: everybody's healthy. He kept talking about that, like, once they

1170
00:52:10,520 --> 00:52:12,680
Speaker 1: get their whole team healthy, Dallas is going to be

1171
00:52:12,719 --> 00:52:15,600
Speaker 1: a beast to quote Gary Payton. So he's like also

1172
00:52:15,640 --> 00:52:17,920
Speaker 1: doing like he's doing both things right, Like, Okay, Yeah,

1173
00:52:18,239 --> 00:52:21,359
Speaker 1: wasn't just Nico Harrison's decision to tray Luca? And oh,

1174
00:52:21,400 --> 00:52:22,960
Speaker 1: by the way, it's not as bad as you say

1175
00:52:22,960 --> 00:52:24,799
Speaker 1: it is or think it is. Even though he's wrong,

1176
00:52:25,120 --> 00:52:27,680
Speaker 1: it's still a dumb trade in my opinion. But he's saying,

1177
00:52:27,920 --> 00:52:29,279
Speaker 1: get all these guys healthy, they're going to be a

1178
00:52:29,320 --> 00:52:32,320
Speaker 1: really good team. So just wait, Yeah, you're saying two things.

1179
00:52:32,360 --> 00:52:36,720
Speaker 3: And he also was defending Jason Kidd as the coach heels.

1180
00:52:36,840 --> 00:52:39,880
Speaker 3: He basically said, I feel bad for him, and you know,

1181
00:52:39,960 --> 00:52:44,200
Speaker 3: with Jason Kidd, I'm sure there's been lots of rivalry

1182
00:52:44,239 --> 00:52:45,560
Speaker 3: throughout the day. So if we wanted to call out

1183
00:52:45,640 --> 00:52:48,600
Speaker 3: Jason Kitty could have. So probably it's just Nico Harrison's decision,

1184
00:52:48,800 --> 00:52:51,359
Speaker 3: is what I'm and what I'm guessing here. Although that

1185
00:52:51,719 --> 00:52:54,719
Speaker 3: the five to twenty podcast great clip going around of

1186
00:52:54,800 --> 00:52:58,000
Speaker 3: Trey Murphy on the show talking to Jeff Tige saying, wow,

1187
00:52:58,040 --> 00:52:59,239
Speaker 3: is that All Star Game? I was in the slam

1188
00:52:59,360 --> 00:53:02,560
Speaker 3: dunk contest. I got to have my parents there. That's

1189
00:53:02,600 --> 00:53:06,080
Speaker 3: probably one of my favorite moments. Being in the NBA entirely,

1190
00:53:06,080 --> 00:53:09,080
Speaker 3: and then Jeff Tegue says, my favorite moment is when

1191
00:53:09,080 --> 00:53:12,520
Speaker 3: they gave me gatorade. I got to take stacks and

1192
00:53:12,680 --> 00:53:17,720
Speaker 3: stacks of gatorade in my car. That was amazing, good clip.

1193
00:53:18,239 --> 00:53:21,600
Speaker 2: I watched that. Very funny. Whoever the co hosts was

1194
00:53:21,680 --> 00:53:22,560
Speaker 2: killing me in that clip.

1195
00:53:22,680 --> 00:53:25,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, did you see uh speaking of gatorade? See

1196
00:53:25,120 --> 00:53:28,520
Speaker 1: JD McDaniels last night, he's I think he did the

1197
00:53:28,600 --> 00:53:30,920
Speaker 1: postgame press conference unless this is an older clip and

1198
00:53:30,920 --> 00:53:33,000
Speaker 1: I hadn't seen it until last night. He's sitting there,

1199
00:53:33,000 --> 00:53:35,480
Speaker 1: he wraps up taking the questions, and then he's like

1200
00:53:35,520 --> 00:53:37,560
Speaker 1: he literally picks up the gatorade because it's there for

1201
00:53:37,600 --> 00:53:40,839
Speaker 1: sponsorship reasons. He's like, can I have this? And then

1202
00:53:40,960 --> 00:53:45,759
Speaker 1: somebody says no, I's like all bummed out. All right,

1203
00:53:45,760 --> 00:53:47,279
Speaker 1: I guess I'll grab my own take it.

1204
00:53:47,320 --> 00:53:49,560
Speaker 2: Man, it's a lot of Gatorades for winners only.

1205
00:53:50,640 --> 00:53:54,560
Speaker 1: Also, but I'm sure that gatorade's been like it'd be warm.

1206
00:53:54,719 --> 00:53:56,239
Speaker 1: Why does he want the warm gatorade?

1207
00:53:56,360 --> 00:53:57,560
Speaker 3: Some people like room temp.

1208
00:53:57,680 --> 00:54:00,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, my wife likes room temp. Not gaaroray, but water

1209
00:54:00,680 --> 00:54:02,719
Speaker 1: and stuff like that. She'll even go one step further.

1210
00:54:02,800 --> 00:54:06,160
Speaker 1: She's now boiling water to then put in her like

1211
00:54:06,920 --> 00:54:10,080
Speaker 1: you know, in her cup, and then let's it cool. What.

1212
00:54:10,560 --> 00:54:12,560
Speaker 2: Wow, it's like to purify it.

1213
00:54:12,680 --> 00:54:15,120
Speaker 1: I guess. So he's like to get it. I don't know.

1214
00:54:15,200 --> 00:54:17,279
Speaker 1: It's not to purify, it's more to get it warm.

1215
00:54:17,480 --> 00:54:20,239
Speaker 1: She wants it warm, slightly warm water. That's like boiling water.

1216
00:54:20,320 --> 00:54:21,480
Speaker 1: But then you have to let it get back to

1217
00:54:21,560 --> 00:54:23,080
Speaker 1: normal temperature. Very strange.

1218
00:54:23,200 --> 00:54:24,880
Speaker 2: Everybody has different throat temperatures.

1219
00:54:25,360 --> 00:54:29,919
Speaker 1: It's very weird to me. I'll drink a room temperature water,

1220
00:54:30,040 --> 00:54:33,080
Speaker 1: no problem.

1221
00:54:33,360 --> 00:54:34,239
Speaker 2: You're crazy, bro.

1222
00:54:35,239 --> 00:54:38,160
Speaker 1: I'd prefer a cold Gate ray to a room temperature

1223
00:54:38,200 --> 00:54:38,520
Speaker 1: Gaate ray.

1224
00:54:38,719 --> 00:54:41,799
Speaker 3: Well you do a Roy Hibbert chug of a room

1225
00:54:41,840 --> 00:54:43,439
Speaker 3: temp water like he did on that show.

1226
00:54:43,600 --> 00:54:45,959
Speaker 1: Yes, tougher to chug of cold water, so yes, I will.

1227
00:54:46,080 --> 00:54:49,920
Speaker 3: Oh that's a great debate room temp versus colded drinks.

1228
00:54:50,160 --> 00:54:57,000
Speaker 3: I'm a room I'm a room temper so okay.

1229
00:54:57,040 --> 00:54:59,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I'm more on the room tamp side too.

1230
00:54:59,160 --> 00:55:02,600
