00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 2: to score up to get you get age of the

98
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 2: ball down the streets. Those plays, it was like highly

99
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 2: fishing with very minimal time coming off the clock in

100
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,360
Speaker 2: those situations where you need to not use a lot

101
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:48,920
Speaker 2: of clock like you gotta. You know, she did that

102
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,200

103
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 2: in the class, she came up. And then you know,

104
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 2: she showed up for the team and drew us from

105
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:56,960

106
00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:58,080

00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:07,039
Speaker 1: you said, them two players that she drew up. I

110
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,600
Speaker 1: think that game was the backbreaker, you know what I'm saying.

111
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:11,719
Speaker 1: That gave them a lot of confidence to go and

112
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,039
Speaker 1: finish them out and not go to a game five.

113
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:15,599
Speaker 1: Her first year.

114
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 3: Coaching age, and she switched it up.

115
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 1: A lot of players that played last year, it's on

116
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 1: their bench and they not playing this year. And just

117
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 1: to see her come in and just put her her

118
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 1: whole program on it and do what she do, what

119
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:31,039

120
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 1: to see.

121
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I felt like, obviously it was an unbelievable series,

122
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 2: but you hate to see one team gotta lose, and

123
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:41,480
Speaker 2: then especially when it's got Sue Bird in her final

124
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:43,919
Speaker 2: year man, and just to see like she made the

125
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:48,159
Speaker 2: big three in that game, to where like, oh my god,

126
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 2: look at Sue's season, the moment, epic moment in the

127
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 2: legacy and then they come back. It was just like

128
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 2: I say, that game was like an instant classic. But

129
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 2: like for me to see Sue, she you know, she's

130
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 2: a class a fellow class in nineteen ninety eight high

131
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 2: school graduate, you know, my same class. So to see

132
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 2: her do it this long and at this higher level,

133
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:12,479
Speaker 2: and then to steal in the final year to be

134
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 2: you know, leading the team and seizing those moments and

135
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 2: making the big plays and you know, creating moment out

136
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,280
Speaker 2: the moment. It was just special to see, man, because

137
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,720
Speaker 2: it's like, like I think Jamal Crawfle to somebody say,

138
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 2: like you don't really get to see people have that

139
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:31,720
Speaker 2: type of longevity in one place and be that prominent

140
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 2: from start to finish in one place. You know a

141
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,039
Speaker 2: lot of times they tail off and they you know,

142
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,040
Speaker 2: they're not the same player. But for her to start

143
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 2: there and to be a starter and the captain and

144
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,000

00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,960

159
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 1: She didn't want to go home. She didn't want to

160
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 1: go home. Was that the first quarter? It might have

161
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 1: been the first quarter, like.

162
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 2: I don't think it might have been first half.

163
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 1: First half twenty five. In the first half, that was

164
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 1: a history. That's history right there.

165
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 2: Right it was. It was I mean, I think it's

166
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 2: like you said, like, you know, like that game four

167
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 2: with the how unbelievable and how competitive it was, you know,

168
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 2: like you had to you know, you really had fans

169
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 2: and other players and things tweeting about it. I think

170
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 2: that was that was huge for them and they in

171
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 2: they game and what they're trying to do as far

172
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 2: as like bringing more notoriety to it, because I mean,

173
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 2: I don't care who you are. If you like basketball,

174
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 2: not even just basketball, you like sports, and you watched

175
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:13,840

00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 2: that you love about sports, the back and forth, the

177
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 2: excitement then to go, you know, down the stretch and

178
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 2: have potential what you thought was a game winner. Then

179
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 2: you get another one, and then you get overtime and

180
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 2: then like it was crazy and it was like like

181
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 2: you say, you had Stewie really in her bag boogie,

182
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 2: you had Asia boogieing, you had Chelsea boogeing. It was

183
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:35,760

184
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:38,200
Speaker 2: on both sides. You know, what I'm saying, defense and everything.

185
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 2: So I mean it was it was I think that

186
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 2: was that was huge for them and for the w

187

00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:10,319
Speaker 1: Bonner and how her career is going in so far,

233
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:11,559
Speaker 1: going into the finals.

234
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 2: Love it. I mean you love to see stories like that.

235
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 2: She's the prime example of why you continue to work

236
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:19,200
Speaker 2: and you continue to improve on your game and try

237
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 2: to get better. But not only that, she's the walking

238
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 2: embodyment of why veterans are necessary, whether it's the w NBA,

239
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:29,440
Speaker 2: the NBA, the whatever league. It's like if they still

240
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:33,079
Speaker 2: can produce and play, what they bring between their ears

241
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 2: is so valuable to teams. And you know, you see

242
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 2: how she gets up there and she speaks and she's

243
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 2: accountable when she wasn't being aggressive and like you said,

244
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:44,320
Speaker 2: she was a big part of them winning that series

245
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 2: by turning around and knowing and being accountable like, hey,

246
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:49,559
Speaker 2: I gotta be better. I got to be more aggressive.

247
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:51,680
Speaker 2: I got to do do more and show up and

248
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 2: help my team more. And like she said that enterprise conference,

249
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 2: then went out there and did it. And you know

250
00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:59,080
Speaker 2: what I'm saying, everything you just said from bringing that

251
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 2: championship pet agree, that experience of being there, being the

252
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:04,320
Speaker 2: only person on that team that's one of the NBA

253
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 2: a w NBA finals, like it showed she brought all

254
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 2: of those things and like you listened to her teammates

255
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:11,560
Speaker 2: talk about her and you listen to the way that

256
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:13,720
Speaker 2: she talks, and you see out there on the court,

257
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 2: we know how it is when you're a player. You

258
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:18,319
Speaker 2: see the respect that she commands and that they give her.

259
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:21,080
Speaker 2: So I think she was paramount in them winning this

260
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 2: series and getting to the finals in her career. I

261
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 2: mean that was a key turning point down the stretch

262
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 2: where where her and Caleia Copper got into it and

263
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:33,719
Speaker 2: had the little interaction, a little skurfufful of you on

264
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:34,719
Speaker 2: a colleague.

265
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, get off me, you got and one get up

266
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 3: off me.

267
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 2: What did you think of that? And did you think

268
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 2: technical should have been given or do you think do

269
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 2: you think that was a turning point for the game.

270
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 1: It definitely was a turning point because they they was lit.

271
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 1: They was hype after after that from from from that

272
00:12:56,000 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 1: moment on your Scott turned up, that moment on your

273
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 1: sky they came out the sky because because they couldn't

274
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:07,720
Speaker 1: they couldn't get nothing no more. But I just like

275
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 1: that that moment, like man, that that competitive moment that

276
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:15,080

Speaker 2: money and do all that. But I thought it was over.

315
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 2: If I'm being real, I was. I was comfortable, walked inside,

316
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 2: go get me a refreshment, stopped talking to the wife

317
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 2: and everything for a little bit. Came back and was

318
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 2: like like how and then you see it they talking

319
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 2: about the run and this. I'm like, what is going on?

320
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 2: And then to just see everything continue to go that way,

321
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 2: and you know, we finally like I was like yo,

322
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 2: like and you know, you feel you feel horrible for

323
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 2: the team, but it was like we can't have an

324
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 2: eighteen to zero run At that point. The biggest in

325
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:46,360
Speaker 2: WNBA hits playoff history. At that point in the game,

326
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 2: at that point in the series, at that point in everything,

327
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 2: you just this is it. This is just like I

328
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:56,320
Speaker 2: just couldn't fathom that we let an eighteen to old

329
00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 2: run get off. And I know we know as players

330
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 2: nobody wants that to happen or but like for that

331
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 2: to just happen, it's like, damn, yeah, damn on our

332
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 2: home court. We're gonna be back next year. Man. I

333
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:11,480
Speaker 2: think I think CP three and the whole game gonna

334
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 2: be back ready for it again.

335
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 1: We got that teams in the league. So you heard

336
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 1: what CP said. So you think CPS gonna be back

337
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 1: next year and play next year?

338
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I do. I didn't. I mean, you know, I

339
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 2: don't think that's it. I don't think that's it by

340
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 2: a long shot. She was still All League this year.

341
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 2: She still was out there doing that thing in the

342
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 2: team five six blocks in games in the playoffs, like

343
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 2: she she got she got some more unentertam CP. You know,

344
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 2: and I know she don't like the way she went

345
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 2: out like this. I know that. You know she gonna

346
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:45,280
Speaker 2: come back with that taste of them now ready. Yeah,

347
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 2: she gonna come back ready to ready to get back right.

348
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I'm excited about them too, like that, that's

349
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 1: just another solid team in the w n b A.

350
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 2: That what they got the offer.

351
00:16:57,280 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 3: They definitely deep got a squad.

352
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 1: You know, they the champs. You know they tried, but

353
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:04,960
Speaker 1: it's New sheriff in town.

354
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:08,880
Speaker 2: Yes, the Sun defeated the the Chicago Sky and they

355
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:12,400
Speaker 2: move move on to the finals. What what do what's

356
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:18,400
Speaker 2: your opinion on the W not given the semi finals

357
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 2: winners a trophy like how in the n b A.

358
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:23,920
Speaker 2: I know it's you know, it's not the same as

359
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 2: the NBA where they have Eastern and Western, but I

360
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 2: still feel like they should have a the semi finals,

361
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 2: you know, the game to find the series before the

362
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 2: teams get to the finals should have some significance as

363
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:38,880
Speaker 2: the as it does in the NBA. That's a big deal.

364
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:41,840
Speaker 2: Like this is you you've achieved something. Now you're about

365
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:44,400
Speaker 2: to go to the ultimate achievement. What do you think

366
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 2: about them not having you know, trophies and it being

367
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:50,960
Speaker 2: kind of a celebration like it is when you know

368
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 2: in the NBA when they win the Eastern Conference and

369
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:55,119
Speaker 2: they win the Western Conference and they get the trophy

370
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:57,439
Speaker 2: and the fans get to, you know, give them their

371
00:17:57,440 --> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 2: appreciation right there too.

372
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:03,359
Speaker 1: It look weird after that they didn't celebrate going to

373
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:06,360
Speaker 1: the finals or be some type of champion. I don't

374
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 1: know what you would call it, but you gotta be

375
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:10,960
Speaker 1: some type of champion if you on one side of

376
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 1: a bracket and you coming into the finals.

377
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:16,280
Speaker 3: Every other sport has it.

378
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:17,280
Speaker 2: You celebrate to.

379
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:19,439
Speaker 1: Go to the final four, you know what I'm saying, Like,

380
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:22,160
Speaker 1: I don't know what you.

381
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 2: Would call it.

382
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:25,120
Speaker 1: It's a lot of greats out there that you can

383
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 1: give put their name on and make that they trophy,

384
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying.

385
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:31,719
Speaker 2: I agree. I think, you know, like you said, they

386
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:33,879
Speaker 2: could put maybe some of the couple of the legends

387
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 2: names on each one, like how you know they did

388
00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:39,440
Speaker 2: the MVP Award or whatever for the for the finals

389
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:41,879
Speaker 2: in the NBA. But I think it should definitely be

390
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:45,199
Speaker 2: some type of a little more celebration to it, because,

391
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:47,800
Speaker 2: like you said, you play the whole season and those

392
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:51,160
Speaker 2: things and most other sports are somehow had some type

393
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 2: of acknowledgment of it.

394
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:56,000
Speaker 1: They supposed to have been on the podium with the commissioner.

395
00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying and getting the awarding and

396
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:01,959
Speaker 1: celebrating going to the finals.

397
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 3: You get two celebrations if you win it. You know that.

398
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:10,560
Speaker 2: So while we're talking about, you know, like Sue the

399
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 2: end of the era with Sue Bird bouncing, is this

400
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:18,119
Speaker 2: an end of the era? Well, not supe Bird bouncing,

401
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:21,119
Speaker 2: her retiring and finishing off her. Let's Jared career. But

402
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 2: it's just a obviously it's an end of the era

403
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 2: in Seattle. But is it? In more ways than one?

404
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:33,240
Speaker 2: There are rumors circulating that Stewie the big baller shot

405
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:37,959
Speaker 2: callar MVP up there, that she is all but a

406
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:40,639
Speaker 2: done deal to the Liberty. What do you think? What

407
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:43,800
Speaker 2: do you think about that? Black and what do you see?

408
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:46,879
Speaker 2: Like like just just listening to that saying that she's

409
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:49,960
Speaker 2: no longer going to be in Seattle. And then if

410
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 2: that's true, like her going to New York Liberty to

411
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 2: get with with Sabrina and they crew man Seattle.

412
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:02,160
Speaker 1: I feel for Seattle, you know, losing Sue and losing Stewie,

413
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:08,200
Speaker 1: that's that's that's a blow for your organization. But if

414
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 1: that's true with Stewie, Man, that's gonna be some crazy

415
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:16,160
Speaker 1: stuff in the bright lights of New York Sue Bird,

416
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 1: the end of the of that man, Lauryn Jackson man,

417
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 1: like all the people that came within her ride. Man,

418
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:27,679
Speaker 1: it's crazy to see. I remember when Tina Thompson played

419
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 1: for them, and like, it's crazy to see the end

420
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:34,119
Speaker 1: of something that's so dope to watch that you've ben

421
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:35,480
Speaker 1: watched for so many years.

422
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 3: I'm excited to see what Seattle basketball up.

423
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:39,119
Speaker 2: There gonna do.

424
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:42,720
Speaker 1: They mean a lot to Seattle basketball in that area.

425
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:47,439
Speaker 2: Absolutely, as far as the sky already told you, I

426
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 2: don't think Can is going nowhere. But you know they

427
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 2: got they got, They got vander Slot as a free agent,

428
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:57,400
Speaker 2: some of the some of the other players player mesa man,

429
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 2: And it's just questions kind of like, you ain't hear that,

430
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 2: first of all, the second of alloy, you ain't here

431
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 2: that it was up now, you ain't scared of me either,

432
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:14,240
Speaker 2: You ain't it was no. You know it was no

433
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:17,720
Speaker 2: that they already gone and all that out with that,

434
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:20,720
Speaker 2: you feel me, But what are you know, what do

435
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:24,720
Speaker 2: you think of those prospects of that being being a possibility.

436
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:28,879
Speaker 2: I'm not coming back. Vanderslot, Courtney Van der Sloot and

437
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:34,440
Speaker 2: the meson Man Ali Quigley, Azae Stevens. They all about

438
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 2: to be free agents. That's that's it's like the core. Yeah,

439
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:43,360
Speaker 2: that's for me. It's like, you know, I'm a realistic

440
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:46,960
Speaker 2: form of players the whole. Everybody I just named Mike

441
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 2: might not make it back, but I mean I think

442
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:51,880
Speaker 2: everybody got to get paid to everybody got get paid.

443
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 2: That's part too. But like, we gotta remember we was

444
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:55,639
Speaker 2: right here on the cuspoper going to the chip. We

445
00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:58,639
Speaker 2: just can't blow it up now a good team. We

446
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 2: had one of the best records in the entire w

447
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:03,159
Speaker 2: n b A for the whole season overall. So it's

448
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 2: like we can't just forget about that neither. Yeah, but

449
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:07,680
Speaker 2: I like our grid and grind. I like I like

450
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:08,240
Speaker 2: we had.

451
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:11,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, they gotta they gotta go to the drawing boards

452
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:15,320
Speaker 1: and and figure out who stays, who goes, if not,

453
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:17,119
Speaker 1: if everybody stayed, if.

454
00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 2: Not, shuffle the dice up.

455
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 1: I know, with shuffling the dice up with a veteran

456
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:24,399
Speaker 1: like Cannon's Parker, she might not be happy with that.

457
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:28,639
Speaker 1: She's she's in championship or nothing mode from now on.

458
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:32,719
Speaker 1: If not, she's not gonna be there. So, uh, they

459
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:33,919
Speaker 1: got a lot of decisions and.

460
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:36,000
Speaker 2: Work that out the right way where it's still come

461
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:39,440
Speaker 2: back and they competitive and they in positioning to compete

462
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 2: for that chip. I think so that's definitely true. So

463
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:45,240
Speaker 2: so thinking about the finals, tell me what you what

464
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 2: you're seeing that like this is like you said earlier,

465
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:50,879
Speaker 2: both teams neither one of them have won the titles,

466
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:54,240
Speaker 2: so it's gonna be a first time champ regardless of

467
00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:56,920
Speaker 2: the case. You think, what do you think going on?

468
00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 2: I mean, the Ace has been there a couple of times,

469
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:01,399
Speaker 2: They've been there a couple time, they just ain't got

470
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:04,159
Speaker 2: it done. And the finals, I mean the Son. The

471
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:05,399
Speaker 2: Son's been there three times.

472
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 1: I think the Son I think Connecticut can match up

473
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:10,879
Speaker 1: with them, but they're gonna have to adjust early.

474
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:11,360
Speaker 2: I don't.

475
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:15,680
Speaker 1: I don't think they regular normal starting lineup is that

476
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to adjust to them early. I think, uh,

477
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 1: they are slow team. If they can slow their pace down,

478
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:24,560
Speaker 1: they got a chance. But on on the aces side,

479
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:26,920
Speaker 1: they keep on doing what they doing and and and

480
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 1: pushing their pace and making them run and staying small

481
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:34,160
Speaker 1: and playing together on defense. It's hard to beat them.

482
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:36,800
Speaker 1: It's hard to beat them. They put they put the

483
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:37,720
Speaker 1: dumbers on the board.

484
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:41,200
Speaker 2: What's your opinion on on Jacquel Jones. You know she's

485
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 2: a she's an MVP. Yeah, but they was you know,

486
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:47,280
Speaker 2: she she's been up and down in this last series

487
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 2: and you know, like in and out of the lineup.

488
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:51,639
Speaker 2: So what do you think she got going on? Can she?

489
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 2: Can she turn up and get back to m VP

490
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:56,639
Speaker 2: form in this finals? They need her, They need her

491
00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:57,120
Speaker 2: for sure.

492
00:23:57,560 --> 00:23:59,680
Speaker 1: You know what this game is is do what you

493
00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:02,879
Speaker 1: got to do to win the championship. So whether they

494
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:05,439
Speaker 1: need her to score or whether her they need her

495
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:08,800
Speaker 1: to get rebounds and play defense, she needs to figure

496
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:11,640
Speaker 1: that out. And with the team that she got, sometimes

497
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:14,480
Speaker 1: they deep out her. Sometimes they don't need it from you,

498
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. Sometimes they don't need your scoring.

499
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:19,439
Speaker 1: Sometimes they need you just to be out there defense

500
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:23,720
Speaker 1: and rebounding and clogging the lane up. And I think

501
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:27,160
Speaker 1: she gonna she'll form MVP like it's it's on now,

502
00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:33,680
Speaker 1: Like you win it and you're finna play against an MVP. Yeah,

503
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:35,639
Speaker 1: you gotta you gotta be up to the table. She's

504
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 1: gonna be playing a lot of of Asian Wilson, a

505
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:42,480
Speaker 1: lot of Asian Wilson gonna be her matchup. So sometimes

506
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:45,720
Speaker 1: like that ain't meant to be scoring. Sometimes that's meant

507
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 1: to locking on. Asia Wilson, we need you to lock

508
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:50,480
Speaker 1: it up. And if and if everybody else putting them

509
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 1: buckets up, you know it's about right now, do whatever

510
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 1: you can to win the finals in no selfish way.

511
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:00,200
Speaker 1: We don't care who score all the points. I don't

512
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:03,480
Speaker 1: care who get all the rebounds. Long as the score

513
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:05,400
Speaker 1: we win after every game.

514
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:09,479
Speaker 2: That's what's about. How dope is it gonna be? If

515
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 2: Becky Hammond can be a rookie head coaching champion and

516
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 2: all at once, like how how amazing does that? You know?

517
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:20,240
Speaker 2: How much does that dope do for her resume and

518
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:23,119
Speaker 2: her story? I obviously you know she was she was

519
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 2: probably the closest is anybody had ever been to getting

520
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:27,960
Speaker 2: the you know, a men's job. She had done interviews

521
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:29,680
Speaker 2: and things like that, and then for the get a

522
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:33,399
Speaker 2: head coaching job in the WNBA her first season she

523
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:36,680
Speaker 2: kind of get a championship. Was that really stamps the

524
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 2: fact that she knows what the hell she doing? Right? Yeah?

525
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:42,119
Speaker 1: Like, like I keep on saying about these playoffs and

526
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 1: how they've been so far. If Becky Hammond accomplished a

527
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:51,440
Speaker 1: championship in this finals like the season that they have

528
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 1: with with Asia winning the championship, winning MVP, winning Defensive

529
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:58,199
Speaker 1: Player of the Year, with Becky Hammon her rookie year

530
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:01,600
Speaker 1: as being a coach, it'll be like a historic season.

531
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:05,040
Speaker 1: They'll talk about this season forever, and they'll talk about

532
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:08,159
Speaker 1: these group of women forever and this specific team, not

533
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:11,280
Speaker 1: just only them two, but man, everybody on their roster.

534
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:14,840
Speaker 1: So to see that happen, Man, we'll see history in

535
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 1: the making.

536
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:18,480
Speaker 2: That would be unbelievable. I also, like, you know, thinking

537
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:20,920
Speaker 2: about history in the making, like like we said, with

538
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:24,960
Speaker 2: with Asia winning the MVP, winning Defensive Player of the Year,

539
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:27,800
Speaker 2: if she can tack on a title and a finals

540
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:32,680
Speaker 2: MVP or something to that, that's a I don't know.

541
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:35,560
Speaker 2: We would have to look up the records to see what.

542
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:38,080
Speaker 2: You know, how many other people, if any of all,

543
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:41,000
Speaker 2: had those type of seasons, and you know, she got

544
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:43,120
Speaker 2: to get compared to some of that, because that's that's

545
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:46,200
Speaker 2: specially right there. Oh well, let's do this. Let's do this.

546
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:50,280
Speaker 1: If you had a guess, who would who have done

547
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:55,160
Speaker 1: that before? If any who would you think and defensive

548
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:55,840
Speaker 1: player of the Year two.

549
00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:59,040
Speaker 2: Oh damn, see I forgot about the defensive See.

550
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:03,000
Speaker 1: Not just win MVP and championship. IM talking about defensive

551
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:05,920
Speaker 1: player that your MVP and championship. So who out of

552
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 1: the greats that you think maybe have done it.

553
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:13,399
Speaker 3: That's often to say that maybe Lisa.

554
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:16,520
Speaker 2: You know, big said Lisa might have did it. You

555
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:20,040
Speaker 2: have to look that up. Yeah, we got winning and

556
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:24,919
Speaker 2: losing in this finals. I kind of know, but you know, keeping.

557
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:29,040
Speaker 1: Up, I'm leaning towards the aces. I just think, uh,

558
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:34,160
Speaker 1: the adjustment. Becky Hammond came there and did like I said,

559
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:36,919
Speaker 1: I see, I see players on their bench that played

560
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:40,520
Speaker 1: a lot of minutes last year that's not in that

561
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:44,880
Speaker 1: rotation that they got going on over there, and it's

562
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 1: it's like new roles, new a new team.

563
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:52,000
Speaker 2: They had, Uh Liz Camage, Yeah, they.

564
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:54,200
Speaker 1: Had Cambage and they had a lot of people last

565
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 1: year and just how to high a revamp. And she

566
00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:02,200
Speaker 1: made Asia Wilson a center. Making Asia Wilson a center,

567
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:05,120
Speaker 1: a player that's that tall, she's tall like a center,

568
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:08,159
Speaker 1: but she can move out on the perimeters just like

569
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:08,840
Speaker 1: the guards.

570
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:12,680
Speaker 3: That changed the whole dynamic of the team.

571
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:14,720
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, and I feel like with

572
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:17,119
Speaker 1: that that lined up how they pushed the place with

573
00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:21,400
Speaker 1: Plumb and Chelsea Gray, and then you got a versatile

574
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:25,680
Speaker 1: player and Jackie Young. They got a deep team and

575
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:28,720
Speaker 1: a deep bench, girls that really know how to play.

576
00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:30,720
Speaker 1: That's on their bench that's not even really getting the

577
00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:31,280
Speaker 1: playing time.

578
00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:35,040
Speaker 2: I just Becky did the d'anni. She took that and

579
00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:38,960
Speaker 2: put him at the center. That's what she she did.

580
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:50,640
Speaker 2: That's the perfect matter for with crazy. That's what spared

581
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:53,440
Speaker 2: things up a little bit, getting places where they can't

582
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:56,160
Speaker 2: check her. She's gonna go around them, bookie him down,

583
00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:58,480
Speaker 2: get a bucket. Then she mix it up on the

584
00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:02,240
Speaker 2: in tier, get offensive rebound it say, it's very similar

585
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:04,320
Speaker 2: to whats that did when he went from the from

586
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:06,160
Speaker 2: the five, from the fourth to the five with us.

587
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:09,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, because you gotta put your fours in threes on her.

588
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 1: The sinners can't even play. That's why I feel like

589
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:16,720
Speaker 1: if they don't, if the Connecticut don't adjust from day one,

590
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 1: I feel like they gonna give up a game of

591
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:22,720
Speaker 1: two that they they just ain't adjust. If they go

592
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:24,840
Speaker 1: into it like we're gonna do the big girl stuff

593
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:27,520
Speaker 1: and put two big girls in I don't think it's

594
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:28,920
Speaker 1: gonna work with them.

595
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:30,680
Speaker 3: I think they're gonna have to adjust to them. And

596
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:31,920
Speaker 3: they got players because like.

597
00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:35,080
Speaker 1: You put Thompson and do Wanna at the four and

598
00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:37,720
Speaker 1: then at the at the three, it speeds them up

599
00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:41,440
Speaker 1: to it. Let Courtney and everybody else get loose. So

600
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:46,680
Speaker 1: it's interesting to watch. But I think, I wait, I'll wait,

601
00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:49,040
Speaker 1: I wait because I just want to see. I wait,

602
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:51,040
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't got no prediction. It's it's gonna

603
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 1: be good.

604
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:55,240
Speaker 2: I got a prediction being nice. I say three to

605
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:58,480
Speaker 2: one mm hmm Aces, but I think it's gonna be

606
00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:02,440
Speaker 2: a sweep. H They're gonna run at three in a row.

607
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 2: I think the Aces man, listen that you just said

608
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 2: everything you need to say. They deep, they got a

609
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:12,120
Speaker 2: lot of offensive firepower. They got you know, they very

610
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:14,160
Speaker 2: well coached. It's not none of this is to say

611
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 2: that Connecticut isn't. But I'm just saying, like, you got

612
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:19,160
Speaker 2: the MVP, you got defensive player year, you got the

613
00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:23,280
Speaker 2: most improved, you got Kelsey Plumb, who was an All

614
00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:26,600
Speaker 2: League player all start, you got you know, you got

615
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:29,240
Speaker 2: the handle, you got point guard, you just got. You

616
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:32,360
Speaker 2: keep naming people like it's a lot and for them,

617
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:34,040
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying, They just I feel like they.

618
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:37,840
Speaker 2: I feel like we this guy kind of gave them

619
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:40,960
Speaker 2: they ticket to the thing. I don't I mean you whatever,

620
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:43,400
Speaker 2: they took it with the eighteen oh whatever. But like

621
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:45,560
Speaker 2: it should have never been like that. It shouldn't never

622
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:46,040
Speaker 2: been like that.

623
00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:49,240
Speaker 3: When you when you locked down for five minutes, you

624
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:50,360
Speaker 3: don't get another saying.

625
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:52,600
Speaker 2: It shouldn't have been that situation, is my point. I

626
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:54,840
Speaker 2: feel like we was a better team, but you know,

627
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:58,800
Speaker 2: we fell short. Whatever. With that being said, it's like

628
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:02,040
Speaker 2: as good as the aces. H like, man, all right,

629

630
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:09,239
Speaker 2: the missed the trip, don't make the bus, don't make

631
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:10,280
Speaker 2: it to the ring or something.

632
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:14,320
Speaker 3: Hey, I always say, man, they in the finals for

633
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:14,920
Speaker 3: a reason.

634
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:16,360
Speaker 2: You ain't not a lie.

635
00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:20,400
Speaker 1: You know, sometimes when the team is so fast and

636
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:22,560
Speaker 1: they running up and down, one thing can stop a

637
00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:26,320
Speaker 1: team like that is a gritting, grind type team. They

638
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 1: are a gritting grind type team, you know. So we

639
00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:31,920

640
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:35,240

00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:37,800
Speaker 2: I'm excited to see it, but I had an opinion.

643
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:42,760
Speaker 2: I took a side. That's what I just think gonna happen.

644
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 2: I think no bore than three one, but I think

645
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:50,120
Speaker 2: it could be a that's the little groom sweeping.

646
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:53,640
