Speaker 1: I'm back, y'all.
Speaker 2: Guess what we've got second round action, as Denver has
Speaker 2: already taken a two to lead the Lakers stole game.
Speaker 3: One up in the Baby Billy did the same in Boston.
Speaker 3: We love to see that on this show.
Speaker 4: Meanwhile, they're starting to feel fan service at this point.
Speaker 4: It's starting to feel like the NBA is just writing to.
Speaker 2: Us for Yeah, I love it. You know what, Silver,
Speaker 2: keep these results coming. Mean while the Nicks and Heat
Speaker 2: are battling out for all of our nineties nostalgia, it's
Speaker 2: a really good one to see for all of us
Speaker 2: who were living in the nineties. And we're gonna get
Speaker 2: into all of that with the SB Nation, NBA manager
Speaker 2: and Fantastic podcast host Harrison Fagan on today's episode, I'm
Speaker 2: Miles Gray and I'm Jack O'Brien, and this is miss
Speaker 2: here's your indeed driving Spinny.
Speaker 3: Curry a three pointer.
Speaker 1: Steph Curry from downtown again. Yes, look out, shut time
Speaker 1: you go.
Speaker 2: Yes, Harrison Vegan, SB Nation, NBA manager, co host of
Speaker 2: the Rewind and Reconsider and Lakers Lounge podcast. Welcome to
Speaker 2: the show, Harrison. How are you living, how are you feeling,
Speaker 2: how are you doing?
Speaker 3: You know, I'm doing great. I'm you know, much like you.
Speaker 3: I think, you know, floating a little bit off of that,
Speaker 3: off of that win last night. You know, Yeah, you
Speaker 3: have a lot more fun to stay up past midnight
Speaker 3: for games like that when, uh, you know, the team
Speaker 3: that you're covering, or the team that you're rooting for
Speaker 3: in my case, wins.
Speaker 2: Yeah, right, I mean yeah, that's uh, well, we'll get
Speaker 2: to that. We'll we're gonna get to the Western Conference.
Speaker 2: But hey, up top Jack, we should mention who is
Speaker 2: the NBA MVP MBDP Joel your boy? Joel your boy?
Speaker 2: Did you see him reacting to it when he found out?
Speaker 1: I did not. Was he surprised? He was?
Speaker 2: Yeah, when they said when they go and it's from
Speaker 2: the Philadelphia seventy six ers, and like he just like
Speaker 2: collapsed and he was just like he got real emotional.
Speaker 2: And then James Harden is hugging him, and I think
Speaker 2: maybe Tyree's Maxie was.
Speaker 1: Like he crying. I don't know.
Speaker 4: I'm not very happy for Joel Embiid. This debate and
Speaker 4: conversation is stupid, like uninteresting to me. So but I'm
Speaker 4: glad that he got it. Like there's a lot of
Speaker 4: people who are like Sixers fans bullied us into voting
Speaker 4: for him, and it should have been Jokic because he's
Speaker 4: not hurt right now, which leads into this whole thing
Speaker 4: that like just the fandom and a lot of the
Speaker 4: like podcasts and the culture around the NBA is like
Speaker 4: so weird right now. It's so like just negative and
Speaker 4: like they everyone's just like so mean to players who
Speaker 4: get hurt. They're like they stick, they're unreliable. It's it's
Speaker 4: street clothed.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a wild time to.
Speaker 4: I don't know, like even after this is like going
Speaker 4: back always, but like after the Milwaukee Bucks game Jimmy
Speaker 4: Butler Games four and five, like those were two of
Speaker 4: the coolest things I've ever seen a human being do
Speaker 4: on a basketball court. What Jimmy Butler did in Games
Speaker 4: four and five like just bent the laws of physics
Speaker 4: and basketball to his will out of nowhere.
Speaker 1: Just seemed to be able to have complete control.
Speaker 4: And then like I like I tuned into the Zach
Speaker 4: Lowe podcast, like because he always has like interesting insight, and.
Speaker 1: Like the whole hour and a half.
Speaker 4: Was just him just talking about like how was a
Speaker 4: Bucks collapse and like a Bucks choke job and like
Speaker 4: just mentioned that Jimmy Butler had a good game in passing,
Speaker 4: Like it just I don't.
Speaker 1: Know what it is.
Speaker 2: I think because it's just like our human desire to
Speaker 2: like point and laugh, and it just like it gets
Speaker 2: out of control. We're now like our conformation bias is
Speaker 2: said to well, who took the l yeah, rather than
Speaker 2: like man, Jimmy Butler, Like wow, how about that?
Speaker 4: And I think like nobody knows anything, nobody knows who's
Speaker 4: gonna win. But like I think they feel like they
Speaker 4: have to predict everything, and so like when they get
Speaker 4: something wrong, like the Bucks losing, like their feelings get
Speaker 4: hurt and they feel like they have.
Speaker 1: To you blew it. Yeah, you let me down.
Speaker 4: It's just like, yo, like this is like a sport
Speaker 4: we watched for fun and that was like one of
Speaker 4: the most fun things to watch, and like you have
Speaker 4: to like just focus on like structural bureaucratic problems within
Speaker 4: the Milwaukee Bucks franchise and like what are they gonna
Speaker 4: do with these contracts? And it's like, yo, just like
Speaker 4: wax poetic about how amazing what you just saw was
Speaker 4: a friend?
Speaker 3: So Jack hit on exactly sort of like where all
Speaker 3: of this comes from. It's from the fact that I
Speaker 3: think a lot of NBA discussion and look as like
Speaker 3: somebody who is a blogger who oversees like I'm not
Speaker 3: blameless in this, I've contributed to this. There's a lot
Speaker 3: of fan interest in player movement, in trades and free agency,
Speaker 3: in all of this stuff. And I think that like
Speaker 3: that has so shifted the way that we talk about
Speaker 3: basketball as much as like as much as like dunking
Speaker 3: on people and like laughing at people has like online
Speaker 3: has shifted it. I also think a lot of it
Speaker 3: is like, okay, you know, like this team that was
Speaker 3: the favorite that a lot of people cared about, that
Speaker 3: a lot of people thought was really good loss, Like
Speaker 3: what can they do to get back? Instead of talking
Speaker 3: about you know, sort of like because there's a desire
Speaker 3: from people to listen to that, Like they want to know, okay, wait,
Speaker 3: Jannis loss in the first round, Like are the Bucks doomed?
Speaker 3: Like what can they do? You know, they have like
Speaker 3: this Milton thing, you know, where he is going into
Speaker 3: free agency but looked like a shell of himself. You know,
Speaker 3: Drew has been charitably up and down in the playoffs.
Speaker 3: I think depending on which end of the floor he's playing,
Speaker 3: and it's just like is the Bucks coach going to
Speaker 3: get fired? You know, there's like all that's all people
Speaker 3: want to hear about. And so I think that it
Speaker 3: almost like in some way ways has overtaken the basketball
Speaker 3: just broadly.
Speaker 4: Maybe I'm weird because I just like did not want
Speaker 4: to hear about that. I did not care about that
Speaker 4: at all, and just yeah, just across the thing, like
Speaker 4: the Bill Simmons podcast, which I think like he knows
Speaker 4: a lot about basketball. He can be really fun to
Speaker 4: listen to, like a lot of the time, like it's
Speaker 4: just like so negative.
Speaker 2: Well Jack, let's bring the vibes back up, because I
Speaker 2: do want to show you the moment Joel Embiid does
Speaker 2: find out that he is a keya NBA.
Speaker 5: MVP, so he puts his head in his hands. So anyway, yeah,
Speaker 5: good times, good time.
Speaker 1: Anyways, he stinks he's hurt.
Speaker 4: Uh, he's the best.
Speaker 2: That's what he said right at that party. I think,
Speaker 2: you know, so he's back, Yeah, he's back.
Speaker 3: I do appreciate that he said that. And then the
Speaker 3: Sixers are like, well, you know, he's doubtful for Game two.
Speaker 3: I don't know, I don't know if he's going to
Speaker 3: play word right he says. He says a lot of things.
Speaker 3: Who's to say what I'm back means he could be
Speaker 3: back anywhere. That doesn't mean back in the game.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm sorry.
Speaker 4: I meant my back pulled something back there.
Speaker 3: Fright commercial He was cracked up all behind him, like, right.
Speaker 2: Right, But shall we move to the Eastern Conference matchups
Speaker 2: just to kind of give ourselves a state of play?
Speaker 2: Here Heat Nicks, they're squared up. Yeah, like I was
Speaker 2: loving to see Like everybody else, I love seeing the
Speaker 2: Knicks in the postseason. I just feel like it makes
Speaker 2: me feel like a kid again. The heat there too
Speaker 2: was great, although I felt like man Spolstra was he
Speaker 2: did a job on them yesterday even though they lost.
Speaker 2: I was like, does Tims know how to like adjust
Speaker 2: at all? It felt like a very It felt like
Speaker 2: a master class from Eric spolsive to despite the lost.
Speaker 1: Absolute master class mates.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Eric Spolster is one of the great coaches of
Speaker 4: all time. It feels like at this is he.
Speaker 3: Everyone coach of the year. I was about to ask
Speaker 3: that I don't think he has pop never won it.
Speaker 3: Phil Jackson's never won it. It's like these guys that
Speaker 3: aren't the kind of one offs where it's like unexpected number.
Speaker 3: With all due respect to Mike Brown, He's won Coach
Speaker 3: of the Year like three times, Like he should not
Speaker 3: have three times awards. Yeah, yeah, Like again, I think
Speaker 3: Mike Brown did a great job this year, very deserving
Speaker 3: of Coach of the Year. But it's like in the playoffs,
Speaker 3: we see a year after every single time the heater
Speaker 3: in the playoffs, we we don't see them lose because
Speaker 3: of Spolstra. You know, like Heat fans maybe the one
Speaker 3: fan base in the entire NBA that does not complain
Speaker 3: about their coach. Maybe the Spurs too, Yeah, they got
Speaker 3: good one.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean all these awards are about narrative and
Speaker 4: the narrative going into every season as Heat culture, they're
Speaker 4: gonna be good. So you can't really do anything that
Speaker 4: exceeds that narrative that much. Right, same with Popovich. Right,
Speaker 4: people are just like the Spurs are rock solid, what
Speaker 4: a great franchise, So how do you exceed that all
Speaker 4: that much? This is gonna be super fun series to
Speaker 4: keep watching, especially if Jimmy Butler makes it back. Like
Speaker 4: I said, you know, since we last recorded, he had
Speaker 4: the Game five against Milwaukee that was you know, it
Speaker 4: wasn't as good as Game four where he you know,
Speaker 4: was scoring at will, but like he had that game
Speaker 4: winning like tippin' and then.
Speaker 1: His Game one.
Speaker 4: I don't know, He's doing something that I feel like
Speaker 4: we've never seen where somebody just wills themselves to be
Speaker 4: more dominant in the postseason, like in ways that don't
Speaker 4: make sense, Like it shouldn't be a matter of will
Speaker 4: that you suddenly are able to make threes. But he
Speaker 4: just like is like, no, I actually just try really
Speaker 4: hard to make the threes in the postseason.
Speaker 1: It's wild.
Speaker 3: You know, he doesn't care that much during the regular season,
Speaker 3: Like hey, he's like, you know, all just toss this
Speaker 3: up here. Who cares about my following through? My mom's
Speaker 3: not even looking in the.
Speaker 1: Regular season, I'm not even looking shoot three. See me
Speaker 1: on media day, I wore a wig that is still.
Speaker 3: He closes his eyes during the regular season before shooting,
Speaker 3: just to make it a challenge.
Speaker 2: You know, it's just oh, yeah, I open what's your secret?
Speaker 2: Oh I open my eyes now in the playoffs?
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh, you could play the whole regular season with
Speaker 3: your eyes closed. Then you know, things just really open
Speaker 3: up in the playoffs, like, yeah.
Speaker 4: The wig is such a great Like still, despite the
Speaker 4: fact that I'm saying like these are some of the
Speaker 4: greatest playoff games I've ever seen a player play, the
Speaker 4: wig is still my favorite.
Speaker 1: Thing he's done this season.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, the fake hairs, absolutely it was. It is
Speaker 2: what we all needed, especially for me as somebody who's like.
Speaker 3: Man, I would love to wear a wig in an.
Speaker 4: Official capacity for me day, Yeah, you are one of
Speaker 4: the great wig whears.
Speaker 1: I know.
Speaker 3: I am like just for the official pictures wearing the wig,
Speaker 3: and then was like, yeah, I'm never it's good, I'm
Speaker 3: never wearing this again. And then now every single official
Speaker 3: broadcaster it's like, basically he pranked the NBA broadcasters. You know,
Speaker 3: I'm all in on. I think that's like one of
Speaker 3: your troll jobs we've ever seen from an NBA player.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I was really concerned going to Game two.
Speaker 2: I mean, look, they could have used him in Game two,
Speaker 2: but I mean, how what's his his the ankle injury
Speaker 2: in game one?
Speaker 3: How long is he set to be out for now?
Speaker 1: We don't know. I mean they're playing the best.
Speaker 3: The only injury update that he keep giving is they're like,
Speaker 3: we'll tell you before next tame if he's playing or.
Speaker 1: Not, because we literally have to.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I mean Game two of the Sixers Celtics is,
Speaker 4: you know, a couple hours after we record this, we
Speaker 4: don't know if MBAT is actually playing. They haven't made
Speaker 4: an official announcement at this point, like they're going to
Speaker 4: wait till the last possible moment, because why wouldn't they.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but super.
Speaker 4: Producer Jabbari did a cool thing and like just looked
Speaker 4: at Vegas odds for all these series heading in, like
Speaker 4: when it was zero zero, and like, this one's interesting
Speaker 4: because it's like Keat win series four to two and
Speaker 4: Knicks win series four to three are like tied as
Speaker 4: the most likely, but this one's basically a complete mix
Speaker 4: where it's right could go either way. Nicks winning four
Speaker 4: to two is the next most likely, then Heat wins
Speaker 4: series four to one is the next most likely, and
Speaker 4: so this is a super interesting series. Like you said,
Speaker 4: it's so fun to have basketball back in Madison Square
Speaker 4: Garden and I just can't wait to see who loses
Speaker 4: this series so we can start talking trash about how
Speaker 4: they're in free fall and choked.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Jimmy should have taken photo day more. Seriously, that's
Speaker 3: my take. If the Heat lose, you know, I'm just
Speaker 3: gonna say, like I wasn't you know, he wasn't focused
Speaker 3: on the game all year. He spent all training camp
Speaker 3: trying to prank the league broadcast partners.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 3: It's just like it's that lack of focus that costs
Speaker 3: the Heat in the end. I'm gonna I'm gonna write
Speaker 3: that article if if the Heat lose, exactly you go.
Speaker 3: You know who else wears wigs to work? Clowns?
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, Jimmy, Jerry Butler was not focused enough on
Speaker 2: the playoffs.
Speaker 3: That's my headline.
Speaker 4: And if I that's what I would have told him,
Speaker 4: you're a clown friend.
Speaker 2: You found Jimmy, get big old clown's guys, he's a clown.
Speaker 1: What's he doing? Another six or Celtics six ers? One?
Speaker 1: Game one? I'm not sure there's much to say about
Speaker 1: this one. Should we move on to the Western Conference?
Speaker 2: Nothing to say because it's like it's a wrap there.
Speaker 2: All right, Well, we'll take a quick break, we'll come back.
Speaker 4: We'll talk about our two teams series is and how
Speaker 4: we're feeling we'll.
Speaker 1: Be right back, and we're back.
Speaker 4: The Vegas odds heading in first of all, when the
Speaker 4: series was zero zero, This one.
Speaker 1: Was not mixed.
Speaker 4: The top four most likely outcomes according to Vegas were
Speaker 4: Celtics four one, Celtics four oh, Celtics four three, Celtics
Speaker 4: four two. A sweep by Boston was the second most
Speaker 4: likely scenario. Celtics fans are reacting to the Sixers getting
Speaker 4: a single game off of them as the apocalypse.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's there's some there's some feelings, big feelings, as
Speaker 2: we say to our children, have big feelings about this.
Speaker 1: I love it.
Speaker 2: I'd love to see Celtics fans having gigantic feelings about this.
Speaker 3: But I'm very petty.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I see, I see how they might feel
Speaker 2: a bit aggrieved.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so game one and beat his out, Big Game.
Speaker 4: Jim Harden came to play big game, big pants.
Speaker 2: Big game, bigger pants, bigger pants. Do you watch what
Speaker 2: he wore to the game?
Speaker 1: Like?
Speaker 4: It was on on the level with like Jimmy Butler's
Speaker 4: wig like it was it had to be a bit
Speaker 4: I think, yeahs like.
Speaker 3: He skinned the cookie monster, ye like, and to wear
Speaker 3: him as pants.
Speaker 4: It was half mascot costume, like the bottom half seemed
Speaker 4: to be like made of mascot costume.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, he actually thought the Sixers were going to
Speaker 3: be eliminated by now that was his met Gala out.
Speaker 3: He's just like, well, I can't waste it, like I'm
Speaker 3: just gonna you know, thround the right time year, I'm
Speaker 3: gonna use that.
Speaker 1: Yeah right.
Speaker 3: I hope he wears something more ludicrous to Game two,
Speaker 3: like to keep getting it clearly worked. Just like maybe
Speaker 3: he should go full mascot coffee the game too, like
Speaker 3: show up in like a full cookie monster suit, you know,
Speaker 3: and going into Boston.
Speaker 2: Like how like baseball players do like a postseason beard,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. Like he needs to be like,
Speaker 2: as long as I'll keep winning, the pants better get bigger.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, I want to see him in like the
Speaker 3: inflatable Halloween pants by like game three, you know, like
Speaker 3: the costumes that like blow up with air game.
Speaker 1: Where he's in a full parade float just like inside.
Speaker 3: They're just like pushing a parade balloon through the walk
Speaker 3: in tunnel hallway pants. But he put up.
Speaker 4: Forty five, his greatest performance in the postseason of all
Speaker 4: time for somebody who has traditionally been defined as like,
Speaker 4: you know, somebody doesn't come to play in big games
Speaker 4: in the postseason. This was kind of an ideal situation
Speaker 4: because they were ten point underdogs, which is pretty uncommon
Speaker 4: for a second round game, Like people aren't usually double
Speaker 4: digit favorites at that point. But you know, obviously they
Speaker 4: were missing the MVP. It was in Boston, and Boston
Speaker 4: has completely had their number this season. So the things
Speaker 4: that are making me feel good about, like as a
Speaker 4: Sixers fan, beyond the fact that they won, is that
Speaker 4: the Celtics like have these inexplicable losses and have for
Speaker 4: a while, and it's like not I've heard like Zach
Speaker 4: Lowe and like Brian Scalabriney who like does their games
Speaker 4: and has watched every game like.
Speaker 1: Talk about this.
Speaker 4: I've witnessed it with my own eyes, and like nobody
Speaker 4: has given me a good explanation of like what happens,
Speaker 4: like where they are just like the better team, they're
Speaker 4: getting much easier shots like that. The thing that was
Speaker 4: most remarkable to me about that game, other than like
Speaker 4: when the Sixers put it together and like pulled it out.
Speaker 1: Was how easy the shots were for the Celtics.
Speaker 4: They were like it was like truly a layup line,
Speaker 4: like truly the most open layups I've ever seen, to
Speaker 4: the point that I was like, is this their strategy
Speaker 4: that they give them so many open twos that then
Speaker 4: the Sixers try and like shoot themselves into it by
Speaker 4: like shooting threes and just being like, yeah, but those
Speaker 4: are only worth two points. But it was very strange
Speaker 4: that they lost that game, Like I still don't fully
Speaker 4: understand why they lost it. And there's also like a
Speaker 4: weird thing where there were just these moments in the lead.
Speaker 1: Up to the series.
Speaker 4: The confidence of Celtics fans heading in was just I
Speaker 4: don't know, it felt like the confidence that you hear
Speaker 4: from teams fans who are like are about to like
Speaker 4: just they were like just with every pride before the
Speaker 4: bulletin board because like they were breathing, exhaling bulletin board material,
Speaker 4: which I just feel like in any sport postseason, that's
Speaker 4: like never a good sign.
Speaker 1: That said, I think it could very easily.
Speaker 4: Be a gentleman sweep, like the fact that it was
Speaker 4: a hard and out of body and out of mind performance.
Speaker 4: I've seen him have those before. They don't usually come
Speaker 4: in clusters the way they do with some other players. Like,
Speaker 4: it's rarely a thing where it's like and now he
Speaker 4: was great for you know, the rest of the postseason,
Speaker 4: it's he can be a little spotty. The fact that
Speaker 4: it was with embiid out, And obviously I'm not saying
Speaker 4: the Sixers are better without embid, just that like it's
Speaker 4: sort of an off speed pitch that worked this time.
Speaker 4: Because like, one of the reasons the Sixers don't match
Speaker 4: up well with the Celtics is they spread the floor
Speaker 4: so well and having a center be the most important
Speaker 4: playing our team can be a little I don't know,
Speaker 4: it can be a liability against a team that's as
Speaker 4: quick and spreads and shoots as well as Boston. And
Speaker 4: then just the fact that it's Doc Rivers and Doc
Speaker 4: Rivers teams tend to get worse as the series progresses,
Speaker 4: as opposed to you know, figure things out to get better.
Speaker 4: So those are the things that are making me feel
Speaker 4: like this is not yeah, good and bad. That's where
Speaker 4: I'm at as a toxic Sixers fan.
Speaker 3: Can I distill what you said?
Speaker 2: I think first you said Celtics lose inexplicably, the pride
Speaker 2: that the Celtics fans had feels like it's Pacific before
Speaker 2: the fall Joel and Beat, Yeah, yeah, and then you
Speaker 2: have said Joel and Beat is terrible.
Speaker 3: I think he called him a regular season merchant. But
Speaker 3: he just said he's more interested in m vps than winning.
Speaker 3: I think that would be quote. I think that was okay.
Speaker 3: I just want to make sure I have that.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 4: I won't feel safe in this one until the Sixers
Speaker 4: have four wins and there there's a press conference going
Speaker 4: on afterwards talking.
Speaker 3: Maybe talking with the Celtics plan. They're like, well, we can't.
Speaker 3: We're gonna let him get up three to one because
Speaker 3: then we're gonna week yes, yeah.
Speaker 2: Because yeah, Joe Mozula, he did save his quiz Lick
Speaker 2: cards for that scenario. R.
Speaker 3: You remember that one was not in the quick that
Speaker 3: was he wrote that one down on physical paper.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 2: He's like, man, I put all my energy in being
Speaker 2: out there, guys, I am upside down on this scouting report.
Speaker 3: Bias Harris are gone. I'm sorry. I just I don't
Speaker 3: I don't even know who that is, Like, who's that hey, Hey, hey, hey, Jason,
Speaker 3: who's that guy?
Speaker 2: Who's that guy Tyrese MAXI, Yeah, yeah, yeah, what do
Speaker 2: you know about him?
Speaker 3: Dude? What I forgot? There's I had a lot of
Speaker 3: notes on a lot of guys.
Speaker 1: Guys.
Speaker 3: I'm really sorry, and I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: What was your name?
Speaker 3: I know they call you time lord, but what's your
Speaker 3: real name?
Speaker 1: Buddy? He doesn't even know the players? Man?
Speaker 4: All right, Uh, well we'll see how all this works out.
Speaker 4: The Nugget Sons, like people think it's a rap at
Speaker 4: this point. Yeah, Nuggets up two. Oh, they looked a
Speaker 4: lot better, uh than the Sons and kind of both
Speaker 4: games for I think all of the quarters, like eight quarters,
Speaker 4: they just seemed better. And now Chris Paul is out
Speaker 4: injured for at least the next three games.
Speaker 3: I think they think, yeah, I didn't see a timeline
Speaker 3: on that, but yeah, groin injury. You wouldn't think it's
Speaker 3: going to be a quick return back. Yeah, at least now.
Speaker 3: Only describe it as you can't put weight on that leg.
Speaker 3: You're like, oh, that's I mean, either of you have
Speaker 3: ever had a groin injury, but like they don't. It's
Speaker 3: not a fast healing thing. You know, you kind of
Speaker 3: you need your growing to walk. It's it's kind of
Speaker 3: an important thing. It's hard to rest it.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 4: It's crazy that doctors say I have one of the
Speaker 4: most impervious to injuries growings of all time.
Speaker 1: So I've actually never impervious to injuries growing Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I am built different. The doctors also have said
Speaker 4: I have that dog in me, uh so, which can
Speaker 4: be a good thing and bad thing. But the I
Speaker 4: just feel like this is another one where everyone has
Speaker 4: gotten a little bit ahead of themselves and are like
Speaker 4: just burying the Suns and Denver's a hard place to play.
Speaker 4: The Suns are still figuring things out rotationally, like Katie
Speaker 4: figuring out how to get involved. I think he will
Speaker 4: be like, by necessity, much more involved going forward. And
Speaker 4: I don't know, I just don't think it's a rap
Speaker 4: at this point.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's like a couple of things. Like
Speaker 2: for me, it's like hearing Chris Paul get injured, KD
Speaker 2: not playing as well as he can, Like in my mind,
Speaker 2: my shorthand it's like a thought killing cliche. In my
Speaker 2: mind is like, well then they're done, And I think
Speaker 2: that's how I'm looking at But I mean in that
Speaker 2: second game too, they're like, what if we just make
Speaker 2: Jokic score and see what he does there, and that
Speaker 2: completely did not work out, And I'm like sort of like, well, hmm,
Speaker 2: I'm starting to see maybe how this all comes together.
Speaker 3: But uh, you know, at the end of the day,
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 2: If if we get out of our if we get.
Speaker 3: Out of this round, I don't know if I want
Speaker 3: to meet up with the Nuggets.
Speaker 1: So that's for sure.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think the Nuggets are gonna win at this point,
Speaker 3: But I would also say that I don't think Kd's
Speaker 3: going to play that bad. Again. I don't think it's
Speaker 3: going to be a sweep. Like you know, the Sun's
Speaker 3: strategy is also sort of a tough one to do
Speaker 3: in Denver, where it's like we need to play all
Speaker 3: our stars like forty five minutes a game to have
Speaker 3: a chance because our bench is terrible. Let's do it
Speaker 3: in one of the cities where it's hard to breathe
Speaker 3: as you're walking around. You know, like they're probably going
Speaker 3: to I think, you know, be a little better in
Speaker 3: Phoenix and a little less gas, you would think, even
Speaker 3: though you know, again there's like some cumulative probably from
Speaker 3: like having to play them that much just to beat
Speaker 3: that horrible Clippers team in the first round, and then
Speaker 3: you know, like having to play them that much in
Speaker 3: two losses, you know there is going to be a
Speaker 3: cumulative toll there. I think the Nuggets sort of have
Speaker 3: the advantage when a're probably going to take this series,
Speaker 3: but I would imagine, like I still think it probably
Speaker 3: goes you know six, Like the Suns are not as
Speaker 3: terrible as they've looked in Dend so far, and the
Speaker 3: Nuggets players probably won't continue to shoot this well, you know,
Speaker 3: like in Phoenix on the road. That's just like it's
Speaker 3: a cliche, but it's true. Like role players just generally
Speaker 3: do not play as well on the road, and so
Speaker 3: you'd think like, uh, like Phoenix would get some level
Speaker 3: of boost from sort of those home confines.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so we'll see. I mean, they're they're extremely thin.
Speaker 4: Depth matters, Depth especially matters in a series where four
Speaker 4: of the games are played in Denver.
Speaker 3: But yeah, yeah, not everyone's like the Lakers and can
Speaker 3: just overhaul their roster the deadline and be good immediately.
Speaker 4: Its just has that never happened with a team to
Speaker 4: this effect.
Speaker 1: Let's take a quick.
Speaker 4: Break and come back and talk about that. Warriors, Lakers, series,
Speaker 4: which I think has to be the most exciting Round
Speaker 4: two series I can remember.
Speaker 1: Right, like dramatic undercurrents. Yeah, yeah, for sure. All right,
Speaker 1: let's take a quick break. We'll be right back.
Speaker 2: And we're back, and so are my hopes for the Lakers.
Speaker 2: It's time to talk about this matchup in the Western Conference. Yeah,
Speaker 2: the Lakers stole game one up in the Bay. I mean, look,
Speaker 2: during the regular season, I know a lot of people
Speaker 2: were like, oh man, Lakers took three out of four,
Speaker 2: and I'm like, that doesn't like Lebron didn't even didn't
Speaker 2: even play half of them. So I wasn't really taking
Speaker 2: that to heart or helping that make me feel more
Speaker 2: confident going into it.
Speaker 1: But do you think the Lakers are better without Lebron?
Speaker 1: Is what you're saying.
Speaker 2: I think the Lakers are better without Lebron and Anthony Davis.
Speaker 3: That's where I'm at, Jack, That's how you know. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I think he can do against defense, right, But yeah, I.
Speaker 2: Mean I think us being able to carry the momentum
Speaker 2: from that Grizzly series into this game. That's been the
Speaker 2: biggest thing for me and be like, Okay, Anthony, you're
Speaker 2: doing it, baby. Let me see you. I was texting.
Speaker 2: I was texting you and Jabbari during that like the
Speaker 2: game six. Now it's just like I want to marry
Speaker 2: Anthony Davis.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was like getting weird.
Speaker 4: We weren't even like giving the haha like response like
Speaker 4: tap ax.
Speaker 2: And then like I was sending photoshops images from my
Speaker 2: actual wedding where I put Anthony Davis's head on my
Speaker 2: wife's head. Yeah, and I was like, yeah, we look good. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: that's how much I'm shipping us. But no, it's been
Speaker 2: unbelievable watching how just just him dominate, especially in that
Speaker 2: first game.
Speaker 3: I was, who, I'm heartened, I'm hart I'm.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's been heartening.
Speaker 4: It's been cool to see him do what feels like
Speaker 4: we always felt like he could do the same. Question
Speaker 4: him and James Harden to him less than James Harden
Speaker 4: because there's less of a body of work, of like
Speaker 4: disappearing in the postseason, but just like that first round,
Speaker 4: it really felt like when Anthony Davis was playing well,
Speaker 4: the Lakers were unbeatable in that series, and then in
Speaker 4: the games where it was like wait, why why isn't
Speaker 4: Anthony Davis playing? Oh he is, He's just not like
Speaker 4: really doing anything.
Speaker 1: They would lose.
Speaker 4: So it really feels like that's kind of what we're
Speaker 4: dealing with. It's just as Anthony Davis goes, so go
Speaker 4: the Lakers' fortunes. But yeah, all that said, the supporting
Speaker 4: cast was awesome in Game one and has been awesome. Yeah,
Speaker 4: this is truly an amazing like revival from where we
Speaker 4: were mid season.
Speaker 1: It is wild that the Lakers are this good, to.
Speaker 2: The point where, like it's funny how like even with
Speaker 2: among Laker fans, the people were just mostly talking about
Speaker 2: Vanderbilt's performance, and I'm like.
Speaker 3: Let's also talk about you know, Dangel Russell's also coming
Speaker 3: out like showing arguably.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but yeah, it was I mean, yeah, Harrison, what
Speaker 2: was it like for you?
Speaker 3: How are you feeling going into that?
Speaker 2: Because I know Javari and I we were talking to Jack,
Speaker 2: were like, let's see how they do in the first
Speaker 2: quarter before we get excited, and see what version of
Speaker 2: the Lakers show up. And I'm happy to say that
Speaker 2: I liked what I saw, But how are you feeling?
Speaker 3: Yeah, they certainly got the good version of the Lakers
Speaker 3: last night. I think they came in with a good
Speaker 3: game plan, I think we saw that they have some
Speaker 3: guy like, you know, the whole idea of a star stopper,
Speaker 3: you know, like the Ruben Patterson, Kobe stopper, your lebron stoppers.
Speaker 3: You know, you're these guys, your Steph Stoppers, Like those
Speaker 3: guys don't actually exist. Except for Ruben Patterson, he does exist.
Speaker 3: He was not a Kobe stopper. But you know, the
Speaker 3: Lakers don't have Steph stoppers, but they have guys who
Speaker 3: they can change up defensive looks on Steph. They can
Speaker 3: make him at least sort of think about things, you know,
Speaker 3: make it a little harder on him, make it more difficult.
Speaker 3: You know, he had a pretty bad game last night.
Speaker 3: I don't think that until the fourth quarter, really like
Speaker 3: he was not all that efficient. And so I don't
Speaker 3: think that that's going to continue for the entire series.
Speaker 3: I don't think like, you know, Jared Vanderbilt is just
Speaker 3: gonna I don't think that we've suddenly discovered that like
Speaker 3: Steph was just unstoppable until he ran up against Jared
Speaker 3: Vanderbilt from the postseason and.
Speaker 2: You got to contest his shot from the side, like Cobe, yes, yeah,
Speaker 2: you got Like but between Van do and you know,
Speaker 2: Dennis shrewder as like sort of a different on ball pesky,
Speaker 2: like make him pick up his dribble, give up the
Speaker 2: ball type of Look, you got Austin Reeves to chase
Speaker 2: him over screens and sort of do things that way.
Speaker 3: You know, you at least have some you know, options
Speaker 3: to make Steph think about it. And then you know,
Speaker 3: on the other end of the court. One of the
Speaker 3: things going into the series that like, for the Lakers
Speaker 3: to have a chance, it was going to have to
Speaker 3: be an Anthony Davis series. He was going to have
Speaker 3: to be their best player because the Warriors have guys
Speaker 3: to throw at Lebron, especially this version of Lebron where
Speaker 3: he is clearly still at least a little limited by
Speaker 3: that kind of foot injury that he said that he
Speaker 3: was going to have to get surgery on until German
Speaker 3: doctors came through and did whatever magic you know, German
Speaker 3: doctor they did to his foot to allow him to play.
Speaker 3: But you know, between Wiggins Draymond, like, that's two pretty
Speaker 3: good guys to throw at Lebron. Put a body on him,
Speaker 3: make things harder, Gary Payton the second even to some degree,
Speaker 3: but on Anthony Davis Draymond is a guy who has
Speaker 3: traditionally frustrated him a little bit, and so I would say,
Speaker 3: like as somebody who's rooting for the Lakers to win
Speaker 3: this series, like I was heartened by the fact that
Speaker 3: Ad was able to impose his will even in those minutes.
Speaker 3: I wasn't really that worried about him being able to
Speaker 3: get going against Kevon Looney. You know, obviously Draymond coming
Speaker 3: with double teams, they were going to try and get
Speaker 3: the ball out of his hand sometimes. But the Lakers
Speaker 3: have been really He's Ad has been really great on
Speaker 3: the boards on both ends, and the Lakers guards have
Speaker 3: been especially d Lo with his sort of height, has
Speaker 3: been really good at getting the ball over the top
Speaker 3: of defenders to Anthony Davis and being able to sort
Speaker 3: of see those passing angles and get it into him
Speaker 3: in a position where he's not having to post up,
Speaker 3: survey the floor, wait for a double whatever, Like he's
Speaker 3: just going up and scoring almost immediately. And both Delo
Speaker 3: and Austin Reeves have been I think, really smart about
Speaker 3: when they are driving, they are looking to see you
Speaker 3: can tell and you could see them looking to see
Speaker 3: does Ad have his guy on his back? Or not,
Speaker 3: and if he does, then they're just putting up a
Speaker 3: shot because either they make that little mid range you know,
Speaker 3: like jumper, or Ad is in a perfect position to
Speaker 3: just put it right back in with his long sort
Speaker 3: of inflatable tube man arms and so you know, and
Speaker 3: then just we're talking all this about offense, but he's
Speaker 3: just a monster defensively. I don't know that I've ever
Speaker 3: seen a single player completely wall off the paint like
Speaker 3: he has. These last couple of games for the Lakers
Speaker 3: where you know, it's one thing to do it against
Speaker 3: the Grizzlies, where they just don't really have shooting and
Speaker 3: their entire strategy is just like we are going to
Speaker 3: throw ourselves at the rim as hard as we possibly
Speaker 3: can and hope that something good happens. But like against
Speaker 3: the Warriors, where they have this horrifying level of shooting
Speaker 3: around the perimeter to be able to still sort of
Speaker 3: you know, contest guys enough that they're still thinking about
Speaker 3: maybe driving in, and then they get there and then
Speaker 3: it's like, oh my god, Like Anthony Davis is way
Speaker 3: too tall and mobile and I don't want to do this.
Speaker 3: Please get the ball to Jordan Poole I don't know,
Speaker 3: just somebody else do something with it.
Speaker 1: He is.
Speaker 3: This is the most dominant defense I think I've ever
Speaker 3: seen him play over a sustained stretch.
Speaker 4: There is a point like in the early in the
Speaker 4: game where Jef Van Gundy was like, and the problem
Speaker 4: for the Lakers is gonna be that like Anthony Davis
Speaker 4: can't leave or no, I think it was actually Charles
Speaker 4: Barkley after the first half was like they like something
Speaker 4: about how like Kevon Looney and like his inability to
Speaker 4: like leave him is going to make it hard for
Speaker 4: him to defend and like.
Speaker 3: He just I don't know, he just left him. And
Speaker 3: they're hoping that other guys can do a good enough
Speaker 3: job boxing out in me too, and and Looney made
Speaker 3: them pay for it a couple times. Like he's a
Speaker 3: really good offensive rebounder. He's super smart about cutting and
Speaker 3: crashing the second that ad rotates away from him. So
Speaker 3: they're gonna win some of those battles for sure. But
Speaker 3: the idea that like Anthony Davis has to stay attached
Speaker 3: at the hip to Kevon Looney and it is not
Speaker 3: going to be able to defend the paint was not
Speaker 3: realistic to me.
Speaker 4: It's been one of the best defensive performances I think
Speaker 4: I've ever seen, like just the this postseason. I am
Speaker 4: king of recency bias, but like that, that's what makes
Speaker 4: me so excited, is like, yeah, the Jimmy but or
Speaker 4: what he's done on offense and what Anthony Davis is
Speaker 4: doing on defense. Even in the games where he's like
Speaker 4: not showing up a lot on offense, it's still a
Speaker 4: real problem for anybody trying to score around the room.
Speaker 2: Yeah, although I'm I am I'm nervous to see what
Speaker 2: the response is in the Warriors, because man, they are
Speaker 2: I mean, as much as I want to be, like,
Speaker 2: as much confidence that it instills in me, I'm still
Speaker 2: like Steph's also put a fifty when he needed to,
Speaker 2: and he's very capable.
Speaker 3: And so did you gotch what play said after the
Speaker 3: game last night? No, he he was like he's like,
Speaker 3: we had an off night. We typically respond well to those.
Speaker 3: It's like, dude, you got shot like fifty percent from three?
Speaker 3: What do you mean you have? Ye night?
Speaker 1: Right? Right?
Speaker 3: Like this is they're gonna they're gonna shoot seventy percent
Speaker 3: the next game, Like if this is if this is
Speaker 3: actually true? And yeah, like Steph is not gonna go on.
Speaker 3: Did he go Like I think it was like six
Speaker 3: for sixteen from three or something like that. It was
Speaker 3: somewhere around there. But like he was not super efficient.
Speaker 3: He's going to be more efficient. That was not just
Speaker 3: the Lakers defense. Some of that legs from playing, you know,
Speaker 3: dropping fifty in a game seven two days ago. He's
Speaker 3: going to be better as the series goes along. And
Speaker 3: you know, I said this on Twitter last night. I'll
Speaker 3: say it again here, like rooting against Steph is already
Speaker 3: after one game like a top five most horrifying sporting
Speaker 3: experience of my life. Like, I don't know how Cavs
Speaker 3: fans are still alive. I don't know how they did
Speaker 3: this for four years. Like every single time that guy shoots,
Speaker 3: I think that he is. I think it's going in.
Speaker 3: It's just oh yeah.
Speaker 2: And also like it's it's just his demeanor too, because
Speaker 2: you're like it doesn't change.
Speaker 3: He's so icy all the time, that never hesitates. It's yeah, it's.
Speaker 2: Yeah anyway, but no focus on the positive, focus on
Speaker 2: the positive. Yeah, we took that game one.
Speaker 3: Let's go Lakers in one, all right, let's see all
Speaker 3: just changed the rule. Sorry, it's over. It's go home,
Speaker 3: all right? Shall we move on?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: I think it's time is a time. I think it's
Speaker 2: time enough messing about with Harrison. Harrison, get ready hold
Speaker 2: on to your butts, as Sam Jackson said in Jurassic Park,
Speaker 2: because it is time for the rap It's not for
Speaker 2: the rapid fire round of questioning.
Speaker 3: Now you know how this works.
Speaker 2: We're gonna ask you a question, don't think on it,
Speaker 2: just give us a rapid response. Don't extend your answer,
Speaker 2: because it's on you to keep this segment moving because
Speaker 2: it is the fastest moving question answer segment in all
Speaker 2: of sports podcasting.
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm ready pray for the people at double speed.
Speaker 3: Here we go.
Speaker 1: Suck the clock.
Speaker 2: Jack Should we go first? Or well, you know, sometimes
Speaker 2: Brian can't hear me and I have to raise my voice.
Speaker 3: Uh heart, do you struggle first? You go first?
Speaker 4: You go?
Speaker 3: Let me go first? Okay, thanks, but a gentleman, Harrison.
Speaker 2: Eleven of the last twelve NBA finals have featured at
Speaker 2: least one of Lebron or Steph. Which one of them
Speaker 2: has the best chance of keeping that amazing trend alive.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go Lebron.
Speaker 1: Thank you.
Speaker 3: And we don't got to go. We don't have say
Speaker 3: much more about that. I'm not nervous.
Speaker 1: It's not crazy. Eleven to last twelve the NBA Finals.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's called dominish domination, domina, dominatin, dominatin. Rather you
Speaker 2: even to touch on dominating, but dominating he was not.
Speaker 3: Steph won most of those, so yeah, yeah, true that
Speaker 3: he also ha kdi for a few of them who
Speaker 3: he does not have anymore.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I guess that's a good point.
Speaker 3: For the funds now apparently, guys sticking.
Speaker 4: It up Paris, is there a single NBA player you
Speaker 4: would take right now over the chance of taking Victor
Speaker 4: him being Yama was the first pick.
Speaker 3: I'd still go Yannis just because we've seen it for
Speaker 3: so long, and uh, you know, Wenby, as great as
Speaker 3: he looks like he is going to be, we still
Speaker 3: don't for sure know and has shown like a level
Speaker 3: of durability, I'd still go Yannis.
Speaker 4: Did you not hear at one where you I thought
Speaker 4: you were here for act one when we talked about
Speaker 4: how Yanna stinks and he's a choke artist who can't
Speaker 4: do it in.
Speaker 3: The failure life his life and career and just in
Speaker 3: every aspect because he lost Jimmy Butler a horrible back
Speaker 3: injury and the yeah game, it looked like you could
Speaker 3: move put up like you know, almost forty and twenty.
Speaker 3: But yeah, failure.
Speaker 2: Yeah, staying finished, Yeah, finished, Harrison, What is your favorite
Speaker 2: NBA city to visit and what's your must have meal
Speaker 2: in that town?
Speaker 3: I'm very hungry. This isn't a question we wrote. I
Speaker 3: just wanted to ask, right, Yeah. I mean, I'm a vegetarian,
Speaker 3: so I'm a bad person to answer the second part
Speaker 3: of this question. But I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go
Speaker 3: New York just because it's one of the NBA cities
Speaker 3: that I've went to and had the best time there. Yeah,
Speaker 3: since I can't name Los Angeles, which I also love
Speaker 3: and live in. Wait, so what would you?
Speaker 2: How?
Speaker 3: Okay, but what would you? What would you eat in
Speaker 3: New York? What's your must have meal over there? I
Speaker 3: don't know, have you ever had There's a lot in
Speaker 3: New York? Yeahmorrow, it's great.
Speaker 1: Yeah, right across from Madison Square Garden.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the real New York's flight my favorite New York
Speaker 3: pizza joint? Yeah, I went, I don't know, I went
Speaker 3: to some Italian place that I'm forgetting the name of there.
Speaker 3: That was like incredible, but yeah, a ton of good
Speaker 3: food in New York. Yeah, okay, I'm sorry, Harrison. We
Speaker 3: got to keep this movie, man.
Speaker 2: As much as you know, I like to hear about
Speaker 2: the jokes that reference the Office and your love of Sparrow,
Speaker 2: we do have to keep this moving, Jack.
Speaker 1: Do you want to answer the next Yeah, is Jalen
Speaker 1: Rose's hair too good to be true?
Speaker 3: M hm, yes, yeah, that's yeah, that's not fair.
Speaker 4: Yeah, okayeah, but do we think it's being painted? I mean,
Speaker 4: there there are definitely parts of it that are being
Speaker 4: painted on. I think we've learned since the last time
Speaker 4: you were co hosting Miles that there there are pictures
Speaker 4: where it seems clearly to have been put on with
Speaker 4: a stencil of some sort.
Speaker 3: Right, I mean, he's what fifty, There's no there's no
Speaker 3: way it can be like that perfect at that age, Like, right,
Speaker 3: I feel the same way. And I don't say that
Speaker 3: as a bitter bald guy.
Speaker 1: Right, But he's on some.
Speaker 3: Hair. Yeah this in general, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: But he's saying boozer or no boozer, not a full boozer.
Speaker 3: You know, it's not all I think of all, but
Speaker 3: it's all spray on. That would be like the level
Speaker 3: of the like painting layers.
Speaker 2: Just to get it up, Harrison, you can take any
Speaker 2: former Laker and put him on this current team. Which
Speaker 2: former grade are you choosing to make a run in
Speaker 2: today's NBA and especially in this postseason?
Speaker 3: Yeah it's Kobe. They Yeah, mah predictable, Jabar said, Big
Speaker 3: Killers Anthony jam I wanted to go Nick van Exfel
Speaker 3: for you, but they already have Dennis and that's Saint
Speaker 3: Nick fan excellent. Yeah, absolutely, imagine Shaq and Anthony Davis three,
Speaker 3: you know, Lakers in two. Yeah, I just want to
Speaker 3: see the mythical Shack versus Draymond match up because people
Speaker 3: talk like you talk during those guys like could they
Speaker 3: beat the Shack of Kobe Lakers, Like, I mean maybe
Speaker 3: with threes and stuff, but the idea that Draymond could
Speaker 3: have guarded Shack in any way, like Draymond would have
Speaker 3: been out for the series after Game two, like from
Speaker 3: being dunked on too hard, too many tights.
Speaker 4: This is secretly what I'm wishing that the Sixers do
Speaker 4: is just like do what they did in game one
Speaker 4: stick em bead in the middle, but just treat embid
Speaker 4: like the Shack that he could be just right around
Speaker 4: the rim, just nothing but dunks right.
Speaker 3: Just feeding feeding them like that Wu tang In.
Speaker 4: He is the biggest body since Shack. I think, like
Speaker 4: when you watch how people bounce off of him. I mean,
Speaker 4: I don't know anyway, Yeah, Harrison, we got to keep
Speaker 4: this movie. Man, I'm Harrison, Come on, man. Uh final question,
Speaker 4: Jack or Miles?
Speaker 3: Easy, Miles. I can't I can't pick. I can't pick
Speaker 3: a Celtics fan in this like that. You know you're
Speaker 3: a Celtics fan. He's not a Celtic. Is that how
Speaker 3: it came off? As a Celtics fixer?
Speaker 1: Uh?
Speaker 3: But all right, thank you, I'm back, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 3: And I have all my propaganda gear in the background.
Speaker 4: You hear that Celtics fans who say that I'm too
