1
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:04,040
Speaker 1: The Sono's Move is the best portable speaker I have

2
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:07,520
Speaker 1: ever owned, and I am not just being a shill here.

3
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:10,760
Speaker 1: It's too good to be called the portable speaker. It

4
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:14,560
Speaker 1: chews up in spits out its competition. It is high quality.

5
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:17,239
Speaker 1: I use the Move as both a stationary speaker and

6
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:20,480
Speaker 1: all around my house, garage, in my outdoor space, and

7
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 1: I've dropped the crap out of it. Regular portable speakers

8
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:26,720
Speaker 1: can't take kids like the Move. Not sure I should

9
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:28,680
Speaker 1: be saying this, but I dropped it down the stairs.

10
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 1: Maybe I should be saying this. I'd be happy to

11
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 1: get a second. Actually I don't need a second. Even

12
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:39,280
Speaker 1: Sono states don't worry about accidental drops or bumps. Moves

13
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 1: components are protected by a hardwaring shock resistant case, and

14
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:45,280
Speaker 1: my system, with one I take around my place is

15
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:48,520
Speaker 1: working very well. I use my Move as a stationary

16
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 1: speaker a lot. It hangs out on the charging base.

17
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 1: I love that I don't have to plug in a

18
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 1: charging court. It has an eleven hour battery life, no joke.

19
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 1: It works with all streaming services, the SOS app or Airplay, Bluetooth,

20
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 1: Amazon Alex and Google Assistant. I'm too lazy. To be

21
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 1: looking for new music, so I have really loved the

22
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:14,679
Speaker 1: SOS radio option. Some of my favorite stations are Rare Grooves,

23
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:19,679
Speaker 1: hip Hop Archive, or just keeping It Mainstream. If you're

24
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:22,319
Speaker 1: in the move, go to sonos dot com to learn

25
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 1: more and get your son's move today.

26
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:33,560
Speaker 2: Nowadays, Labor Day is a day to gather all friends

27
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 2: and family for one last barbecue or vacation before it's

00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 2: time to go back to school. Boring, good mornings, Sweepirls.

47
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 3: JD just hit the music. My man. Oh, come on, yeah,

48
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,399
Speaker 3: we got a couple more wedgies in our life. Oh

49
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 3: my goodness, they come in bunches. It's a beautiful thing.

50
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:04,799
Speaker 1: The heat so nice.

51
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:08,919
Speaker 3: Bucks game, they really delivered. Number forty two got stuck

52
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:10,920
Speaker 3: with the guys were like battling for a rebound. It

53
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 3: was a quickie. It was a quickie wedgy, but it

54
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 3: still was a weggie and the number forty three task

55
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 3: a spectacular buzzer beating weggie at the end of the

56
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:22,799
Speaker 3: fourth quarter from the dragon. We also had a pigeon

57
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 3: later in the Rockets Lakers game. But what what a

58
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 3: weekend for weggies. We have hope Task fifty is still alive,

59
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 3: my man.

60
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is an unprecedented bubble situation. So me a

61
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 1: numbers type of guy, usually with speculate. Hey, our playoff

62
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 1: record is six going back in the modern day era,

63
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 1: and with three already here yesterday, I mean we would

64
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 1: have to destroy that record of six to get to fifty.

65
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 1: And we put a pole up and usually people people

66
00:03:55,760 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 1: would automatically just say yes. But right now the yes

67
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 1: total compared to the note total is about fifty to fifty.

68
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 1: People are being haters. Haters is a good one for yeah,

69
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 1: actually thinking, people are actually thinking out there. But yes,

70
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 1: there is a chance. There is a chance. And I

71
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 1: really liked that first one. It was on the opposite

72
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 1: side of the rim. You couldn't see it from the

73
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 1: main camera angle. Is a really quick one. I like

74
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 1: that it happened in the playoffs because that's one that

75
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,839
Speaker 1: would slip by in the regular season that we may

76
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 1: not count. It's just one of those. There was barely

77
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 1: any tweets about it, but the fact that everybody was

78
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 1: watching the game that was done and then to get

79
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 1: one at the buzzer like that fourth quarter buzzer on

80
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 1: a game winning attempt, Mike Breen could only laugh. You

81
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 1: could only just giggle.

82
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:44,480
Speaker 4: At I think the Wedgie gods are sending Chris Herring

83
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:47,280
Speaker 4: a message as well, so you want to get I

84
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:50,160
Speaker 4: have more wedgies than you can possibly imagine that. That's

85
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,480
Speaker 4: what it was this weekend. We had in five quarters

86
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 4: we had three wedgies. I mean, going back from Saturday

87
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 4: night to Sunday, I made incredible stuff.

88
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 3: Huge.

89
00:04:57,960 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 4: Yeah.

90
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 5: Chris Herring tweeted, can we make weggieproof rims? And the

91
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:03,720
Speaker 5: League said no, we can make weggie full rims. I

92
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 5: don't know what they did, They just put adhesive up

93
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 5: for this weekend. But it was a beautiful sight to

94
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 5: see a buzzer beating weggie. Do you call it a

95
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,279
Speaker 5: weggie beater or do you call it a buzzer weggie?

96
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 5: People were asking last night, all right, all.

97
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 1: Right, you can still go vote on that pool if

98
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:24,919
Speaker 1: you think we're going to get to fifty and Trey's

99
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 1: gonna put up another pole now, buzzer weggie, weggie beater,

100
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 1: beater weggie. I don't know, well who made.

101
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:32,719
Speaker 3: That first poll, by the way, the yes and the

102
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 3: heck yes. I used a couple of people.

103
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 1: Why I I don't know.

104
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:39,679
Speaker 3: I think I saw some people say, well, I clicked

105
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:41,479
Speaker 3: on yes before I even saw there was a heck

106
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 3: yesn't expecting that if I if I got the numbers

107
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 3: correct here, I'm sure John Schuman will correct me if

108
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 3: they're wrong. But uh, forty three weggies. Overall, we're trying

109
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 3: to get to fifty. We have seven to go. Maximum

110
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:58,040
Speaker 3: games remaining task maximum games I believe is thirty seven.

111
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 3: So that's if every series we still have here goes

112
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:03,599
Speaker 3: to seven, Conference finals go to seven, and then the

113
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 3: finals go to seven.

114
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:06,920
Speaker 1: There there's no chance. There's no chance.

115
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,160
Speaker 3: And you look at it that way, minimum games left,

116
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:12,920
Speaker 3: you know, twenty one, that would be like they all

117
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 3: end as quick as possible, and then we get a

118
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:16,279
Speaker 3: couple of sweeps, which is going to happen.

119
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:19,600
Speaker 1: But listen, listen when you actually look at the numbers

120
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,839
Speaker 1: between twenty one and thirty seven games, that usually would

121
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:26,039
Speaker 1: account for one weggie when you actually go through the season.

122
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:29,039
Speaker 1: But this is the hothand Weggie theory. Yeah, you can't.

123
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 1: There's just there's no numbers. You could it could happen once,

124
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 1: It could happen once, and in this unprecedented scenario, it

125
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:37,799
Speaker 1: would make sense that this would be the time.

126
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 3: We need to see like two more tonight. Yeah, if

127
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 3: we get two more tonight, then there is a you know,

128
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,040
Speaker 3: a tiny sliver of a chance we could actually hit fifty,

129
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 3: but we need them to keep comping in the bunches here.

130
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,160
Speaker 3: We need a couple more to pop to you. We'll see.

131
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:56,039
Speaker 3: All right, let's get to the game recaps. It's time

132
00:06:56,560 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 3: you talk there. Let's start with Lebron and Anthony Davis

133
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 3: helping the Leakers hold on to beat the Rockets and

134
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:07,479
Speaker 3: they tie this series up at one game a piece. Lee,

135
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 3: what's a big take away from the Lakers ticking this

136
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 3: one last night?

137
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 4: This series has gone to script so far. The Rockets

138
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 4: come out good, James Harden's great in Game one, Lebron

139
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 4: kind of takes game one off. In Game two, the

140
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 4: Lakers come out from the start ready to go fired up.

141
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 4: They have a big lead in the first quarter in

142
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 4: the first half. But then the Rockets I thought were

143
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 4: fantastic in that third quarter, particularly James Harden. I thought

144
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 4: he really did orchestrate the offense in the best way possible.

145
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 4: They spread the floor out and basically they thought, well,

146
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 4: if you're going to come at me, I'm just going

147
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 4: to move that ball around to find open shooters. And

148
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 4: Eric Gordon had open shots. PJ. Tucker, Robert Covington everyone

149
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 4: got shots, and then James Harden hit a couple of

150
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 4: themselves to give themselves a lead, and so Lebron had

151
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:47,119
Speaker 4: to come back out in that fourth quarter and actually

152
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 4: had to play again. I think he probably thought going

153
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 4: into the half that he wouldn't have to do too

154
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 4: much heavy lifting in that fourth quarter, But he and

155
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 4: Anthony Davis and then Rondo as well, was actually good

156
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 4: for them, sort of at the start of the game

157
00:07:57,800 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 4: and at the end of the game, and his defense

158
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 4: on Harden was good. But ultimately, the Lakers two strongest players,

159
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 4: they're two biggest weapons. Lebron and Anthony Davis took this

160
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 4: game to victory for the Lakers, but it wasn't super comfortable.

161
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 4: I think if you're Houston, you look at this and

162
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 4: think that third quarter is really what we need to

163
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 4: focus on. That's how we can beat the Lakers by

164
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 4: spreading the floor out, playing good defense, and hitting those

165
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 4: threes when they're open. If they do that, then they

166
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 4: can just they can take the game to the Lakers

167
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 4: as best they can. But once the Lakers and Lebron

168
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 4: can go inside and score and get a lot of

169
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 4: those uncontested looks inside, it just makes it harder for

170
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,720
Speaker 4: the Rockets to keep up if the scores are closer.

171
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:38,440
Speaker 4: So and the big dilemma here, of course, for Mike D'Antoni,

172
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 4: is what to do with Westbrook in games like last

173
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 4: night where he was just awful. He's almost better to

174
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 4: just sit him down, even though he's you know, your

175
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 4: second highest paid player, but just put shooters around James

176
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 4: Harden and try to just see if he can ride

177
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 4: those hot hands, because everyone seemed to have it at

178
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:54,440
Speaker 4: the start of the second half, but the Rockets just

179
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 4: couldn't close it out. But overall, you know, it went

180
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 4: to script. As I said, the Lakers win this game

181
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:00,680
Speaker 4: as we all expected them to do. Run came out

182
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 4: more focused and more in control. But I saw some

183
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:06,840
Speaker 4: very positive signs from Houston that for a way that

184
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:08,960
Speaker 4: they can you know, I mean, they can win this

185
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,200
Speaker 4: series if they play the way they did in that

186
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:14,080
Speaker 4: third quarter, where they basically just make the court so

187
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 4: big so that Lakers are just chasing that ball around

188
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 4: and when the ball moves around. James Harden only had

189
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:20,680
Speaker 4: twenty seven points and seven assists, but I thought he

190
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,320
Speaker 4: was much better than that and much more effective. I went,

191
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 4: I dug deep on the stats here I went into

192
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 4: Schumann's NBA dot com stats. He had thirteen potential assists

193
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:31,959
Speaker 4: and two secondary assists, which just shows that he doesn't

194
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:33,560
Speaker 4: have to do it all if those other guys are

195
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:36,720
Speaker 4: contributing so positives for Houston even though they lost this game,

196
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 4: but the Lakers also showing why they are the favorite

197
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 4: to win because they have two very, very dominant players.

198
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:44,840
Speaker 4: Even though again I thought Davis was good, but I

199
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 4: thought the Rockets didn't defend him all that badly. He

200
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 4: hit those mid rangers simply because it's tough to get

201
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:50,559
Speaker 4: a hand up in his face.

202
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 3: This was a wild game because, yeah, you had the

203
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 3: Lakers opening a twenty one point lead at the half,

204
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 3: and then the huge fourth quarter or third quarter from

205
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 3: the Rockets for the forty one points. But then the

206
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 3: Lakers held Houston is seventeen in the fourth quarter and

207
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:04,079
Speaker 3: they win this one by eight. I mean, it was

208
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:05,079
Speaker 3: all over the place this way.

209
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 4: It was actually only is only six million at half time.

210
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 4: They did laybout twenty one. In the second quarter, Horizon

211
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 4: opened up.

212
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:12,959
Speaker 3: Twenty one point. I just excuse me, excuse wanted to

213
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 3: just get that right, Yes, hume it over here, don't

214
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,200
Speaker 3: be a Shuman up in our own damn podcast, Right,

215
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:19,960
Speaker 3: I don't want it. I don't want it. But what

216
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 3: did you think from this one? Tasks? Uh? Again, it

217
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 3: was sort of a weird game, and I'd like to

218
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 3: get into Westbrook a little bit more. You know, Lee

219
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,720
Speaker 3: brought him up there and just sort of how how.

220
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 4: Brutal he was.

221
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:32,960
Speaker 3: This is the classic Westbrook. I saw Anthony Slater tweet.

222
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:35,720
Speaker 3: I'm not sure there's a player in this league who's

223
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 3: impact can swing depending on the night, from so destructively

224
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:43,559
Speaker 3: good to so destructively bad for his team quite like

225
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:45,839
Speaker 3: across a Westbrook. And it's very true. We've talked a

226
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 3: lot of Westbrook over the years in playoff settings from

227
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 3: game to game, and it was a bad one. I

228
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 3: mean four to fifteen, a lot of turnovers, and I

229
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 3: think Lee's right, you know, should the Rockets maybe have

230
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 3: sat this guy at times in this game? What do

231
00:10:57,880 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 3: you think?

232
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 1: Well, he is definitely the barometer for this team. He

233
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 1: was the key for me coming into the series because

234
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 1: he can be, yeah, ultra bad, and he can be

235
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 1: ultra good. I wouldn't sit him because the Lakers what

236
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:14,680
Speaker 1: they did in the fourth quarter, which was really fun

237
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 1: to watch was they went zone and Lebron was essentially

238
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:21,560
Speaker 1: playing the five, and I love old man Lebron at

239
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 1: the five, playing defense, scrambling, and that's where they got

240
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 1: that big lead at the beginning of the fourth quarter,

241
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 1: when Lebron was playing five at one and point guard

242
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 1: at the other end and taking over. So that was

243
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 1: that was just a show. He just ran the entire game.

244
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 1: He ran defense, he ran offense. After the game, he

245
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:40,840
Speaker 1: said about Mark Keith Morrise, he said, I went and

246
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 1: told him, Hey, you hit fourth threes in the first

247
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 1: but you only give up one, then we're good. I'll

248
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:47,439
Speaker 1: take that. Every time the guy is calculating, he's being

249
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 1: a shueman out there. You give up one to year guy,

250
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:51,840
Speaker 1: but you hit four, we're good. Like Lebron ran the

251
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 1: show in the fourth quarter. But I say, you keep

252
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 1: Russell Westbrook in because you need a zone breaker. And

253
00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:00,080
Speaker 1: I know they were just dropping off of him, but

254
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 1: you need somebody to get in there and be able

255
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 1: to score. They're going to need Russell Westbrook. He is

256
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:09,320
Speaker 1: their only real I mean, I mean, Harden can do it,

257
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:11,440
Speaker 1: and I think Hard played a perfect game, but I

258
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 1: think they need him to match the star power of

259
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 1: the Lakers. If you go just run hard and four

260
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 1: shooters out there, they're not gonna win. I just don't

261
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 1: think that they need hard Westbrook to Westbrook to be

262
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 1: mentally into it as well. I thought that this is

263
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 1: one game that kind of goes against the aura of

264
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,320
Speaker 1: Russell Westbrook, which is he never quits. He never quits.

265
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 1: He does quit at times. There is the play at

266
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 1: the beginning of the fourth quarter, the first play of

267
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:40,080
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter where Lebron went past them and he

268
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:41,960
Speaker 1: just gave a.

269
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:45,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, why you know why. I actually think he shouldn't

270
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 3: have been in there at the start of the fourth quarter.

271
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 3: And I'm fine with Eric Gordon, by the way, running

272
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 3: this team at times when Harden needs a break. Westbrook

273
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:54,080
Speaker 3: had five fouls. They went at him like four straight times.

274
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 3: Because Westbrook was like gonna super old lay out of

275
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 3: the way. It's like I gotta keep playing, Yeah, but

276
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 3: I'm not actually gonna pick on the fel. Well, so

277
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 3: that's where I think D'Antoni made a huge mistake, and

278
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:05,199
Speaker 3: that it is actually on him more than even Westbrook.

279
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 3: He's got five fouls, He's not gonna file. They went

280
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 3: at him. I think it was three or four straight times. Wisely,

281
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:13,440
Speaker 3: they seeked them out and he was just like, well

282
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:15,680
Speaker 3: I got to I want to stay out here, So

283
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:17,840
Speaker 3: there you go, and that sort of did turn that

284
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 3: fourth quarner. You're right, Lebron was instrumental in that because

285
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 3: sodium smart. He knows he's got five. But that was

286
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 3: an oversight in my opinion, D'Antoni playing him there.

287
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I just listen, everybody, if you're playing one

288
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 1: on one with anybody on the outside, you're going to

289
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:33,079
Speaker 1: get beat. I agree he probably played a little softer

290
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:35,560
Speaker 1: on the perimeter, but he also has to go in

291
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 1: for the rebound. He also has to keep moving. He

292
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:39,840
Speaker 1: can't just stand still like he's in mud. And same

293
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 1: thing happened when that ball, when he did a nice job.

294
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:45,320
Speaker 1: He double teamed later in the fourth, even with five fouls,

295
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 1: they double teamed Anthony Davis. They poked it out of

296
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:49,600
Speaker 1: his hands and went into the corner. Alex Caruso came

297
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:52,680
Speaker 1: up with the ball and Russell Westbrook was disappointed nuts

298
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:54,439
Speaker 1: we didn't get the ball, and he just kind of

299
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 1: hung out in the corner and just watched. It's this

300
00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:01,439
Speaker 1: aura that he never quits, and sometimes he's got to

301
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 1: keep it going. I agree, you're gonna go at him.

302
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:05,559
Speaker 1: Smart players are going to go at him, and he

303
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 1: could get his sixth foul, but the shot clock lasts

304
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 1: for twenty four seconds, and there's other things to do

305
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 1: other than just defend your guy, and so there was

306
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:17,320
Speaker 1: more out there for him to do. Yeah, it was

307
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:20,560
Speaker 1: really weird. That fifth foul was really strange. You know,

308
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 1: with that whole Rondo thing. Video review it's like video

309
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 1: reviews can just correct referees calls. Now, okay, it was

310
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 1: a charge, but now it's a loose ball on on

311
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 1: Westbrook and he gets them, they get the ball. I

312
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 1: don't know. I hate watching that, But at the same time,

313
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 1: I think Russ Is needed to get this thing done

314
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 1: when it comes down to it. But he's the barometer

315
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 1: if he's going to have a bad game, you know,

316
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 1: with those seven turnovers. Really like the statline. You know,

317
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 1: he'll fill out the box score, but he's got to

318
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 1: he has got to be a better finisher, even if

319
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 1: those those threes aren't falling.

320
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 5: Well, that's the problem is he's taking threes. He needs

321
00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 5: to go back and watch the tape from when the

322
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 5: Rockets played the Lakers in February and he hung forty one.

323
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 5: He took two threes. Westbrook has taken twelve threes so

324
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 5: far in these two games. He took six in the

325
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 5: first series against the Oklahoma City Thunder. They are making

326
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 5: it a point to give Westbrook shots and he's happy

327
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 5: to take him.

328
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 3: You got to get back to driving.

329
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 5: That's what Task was talking about when we were talking previews,

330
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 5: was that Westbrook can catch the ball in a four

331
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 5: on three and go to the hoop. It's a lot

332
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 5: different than catching the ball out on the wing with

333
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 5: twenty feet of space and chucking it away. Get to

334
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 5: the hoop, man, that's where you're at your best, and

335
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 5: that's when the Rockets really turned the corner when Westbrook

336
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 5: started kind of playing as that role man, the next

337
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 5: guy who can put pressure on the rim. The Lakers

338
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:37,040
Speaker 5: have made it a point to make Westbrook a focus here.

339
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 3: You know, you see.

340
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 5: Lebron is really focused on, like smashing the ball out

341
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 5: of bounds on a block or trying to dunk on Westbrook.

342
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 3: Things like this.

343
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 5: You can tell that he's the guy that they feel

344
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 5: is the head of the snake, which is what Lebron

345
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 5: said afterwards. They're making it a point to put him

346
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 5: in the spotlight rather than letting Harden just do everything

347
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:56,320
Speaker 5: out there. There's no way that the Rockets are going

348
00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 5: to sit Westbrook, even with five files. We're talking all

349
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 5: the time about Mike Budenholzer needs to play his best

350
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 5: players all the time, and you're asking Mike d'An toni

351
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 5: to sit his guys in the playoffs.

352
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 3: That doesn't make any sense to me. Westbrook just needs

353
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 3: to be better. Yeah, I mean they did just seek

354
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 3: him out though, because they know he wouldn't foul. That's

355
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 3: the thing. He wouldn't just pick up his six foul

356
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 3: to stop a basket. They do that. I mean, you're right.

357
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 3: If anything, the Lakers are like Lebron led by Lebron,

358
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 3: are like, oh, we can get we can get in

359
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 3: Westbrook's head here. We can ral him up the right

360
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 3: ways and get him taken shots he shouldn't be taking, obviously,

361
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 3: exploit him on the defensive end. I just thought that

362
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 3: was a mistake because I have again no problem with

363
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 3: Eric Gordon running the offense for spot minutes for this

364
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 3: team with Harden when he needs his rest. That's it.

365
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 3: That's all I had Westbrook after the game. He's owning

366
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 3: all this. By the way, he said, right now, I'm

367
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 3: just running around. So look, he's saying I had a

368
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 3: brutal game task, is right. I mean if he doesn't

369
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 3: play well there as chance is a sort of plummet

370
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 3: for the most part, so he doesn't really know what's

371
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 3: going on. So he's gonna watch the tape plee and

372
00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 3: figure out, you know, where he should be and what

373
00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:00,200
Speaker 3: he should be doing instead of just running around, you know,

374
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 3: chicken with his head cut off.

375
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, Well, he that one big three at the end

376
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:05,160
Speaker 4: there late where he was wide open on that right

377
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 4: wing and he took it and he bricked it. That

378
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:08,679
Speaker 4: was a critical one where he had the lane to

379
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:10,680
Speaker 4: at least go inside or just take a mid range

380
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:12,159
Speaker 4: to just take a step in. But he kind of

381
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 4: gets sucked in. And this is what happened last year

382
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 4: in the playoffs to him as well against the Blazers,

383
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:18,680
Speaker 4: as the Blazer's like, we'll give you all those shots, man,

384
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:20,240
Speaker 4: and if you're going to keep taking them, then we'll

385
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:23,360
Speaker 4: live with the results of that. And Westbrook gets caught

386
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:25,399
Speaker 4: up in those little battles like that he needs to know,

387
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 4: like against the Thunder in Game seven, where he drove

388
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 4: inside a few times and finished. He was much more effective.

389
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 4: So he can do it. We've seen it this season

390
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 4: as well, where he's kind of just gotten rid of

391
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:36,879
Speaker 4: the three pointer, but he's still kind of every now

392
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:38,280
Speaker 4: and again he's open, he's like, well, I've got to

393
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:39,919
Speaker 4: shoot this. This is what we do on our team. But

394
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:41,919
Speaker 4: that's not his game. So he has to find a

395
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:44,920
Speaker 4: way to just get inside to penetrate, try to get

396
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 4: to the free throw line, or just get a higher percentage.

397
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:49,920
Speaker 4: Look ause a three point shot isn't there for him.

398
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 4: But you know, it's just it's a tough one for

399
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:53,840
Speaker 4: D'Antoni because of course, you want to play your best players,

400
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:56,280
Speaker 4: no doubt, but from game to game, if one of

401
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 4: your best players, because he turned the ball over again

402
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:01,120
Speaker 4: last night with some awful passes, defense just wasn't there.

403
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:03,680
Speaker 4: If he's not playing that well, then it's okay to

404
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 4: sit him, I think for that game. I mean, you know,

405
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 4: he's going to come back next game and he's going

406
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:09,679
Speaker 4: to play as many minutes as possible as long as

407
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:12,399
Speaker 4: he's not in foul trouble or he's not playing badly.

408
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:15,200
Speaker 4: But also, I mean the other problem was Jeff Green

409
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:16,720
Speaker 4: didn't do anything for them last night.

410
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 3: Either, know what, that's a reliable that's.

411
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 4: The sort of thing that you need. If you Mike d'antonia,

412
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:24,240
Speaker 4: you're like, well, okay, we've got this guy got it

413
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:26,480
Speaker 4: tonight this day doesn't, so you know. But but again

414
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:30,159
Speaker 4: all they considered, again, I thought Houston, they had they

415
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 4: could have won this game. I thought they really could have.

416
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 4: Just again, it was Lebron at the start of that

417
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:36,959
Speaker 4: fourth quarter, came out and basically they were just taking twos,

418
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:39,199
Speaker 4: whereas the Rockets were still relying on the threes. And

419
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:42,000
Speaker 4: after that hot third quarter they called off a little bit.

420
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:44,880
Speaker 4: But it's still you know, it wasn't a super comfortable

421
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 4: victory in the end by the Lakers, like the Rockets.

422
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:50,080
Speaker 4: Of their defensive intensity again, I thought was very very

423
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:52,360
Speaker 4: good last night. You know, that's two games in a row.

424
00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:55,160
Speaker 4: They have to keep that up and overall that offense again,

425
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:57,640
Speaker 4: that was working for them in that third quarter. It's

426
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:01,080
Speaker 4: it's just being being able to maintain that and getting

427
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:03,880
Speaker 4: a few little things go their way. So I thought

428
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 4: this was a fun second half. Any I didn't think

429
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 4: the first half was all that fun, you know, it

430
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:09,639
Speaker 4: was it was, it was a good performance by Lakers.

431
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 4: Once the Rockets sort of got into it, they got

432
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:14,000
Speaker 4: that lead down pretty quickly and got and built their

433
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:16,639
Speaker 4: own lead. You know, it's amazing how quickly, like a.

434
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:21,640
Speaker 5: Sixteen fifteen points they made nine threes in the third quarter. Yeah,

435
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:23,399
Speaker 5: if the Rockets can keep that pace up for an

436
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:25,200
Speaker 5: entire game, they can easily win this series.

437
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 3: This was a Lakers blowout. There was one good quarter

438
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 3: for the Rockets. Really, I don't think.

439
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 4: It was a blowout though. I don't think it was

440
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:32,560
Speaker 4: a blow and I think that the Lakers played well.

441
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:35,040
Speaker 4: Then the Rockets they showed what they could do in

442
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:37,159
Speaker 4: that third quarter, and then it took the Lakers. It

443
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:39,119
Speaker 4: took an extra effort from the Lakers to win it

444
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 4: in the end. But I wouldn't say this one was

445
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 4: a blowout.

446
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Rockets hit twenty two threes and shot fifty

447
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:49,640
Speaker 1: three of them. That seems like the recipe that they're

448
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 1: going to need to win. They kept chucking them and

449
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:57,680
Speaker 1: that's a pretty good percentage. But yeah, the I think

450
00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:00,160
Speaker 1: they do need a zone brick. I think if if

451
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 1: the series that we just watched where Russ only played

452
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:07,200
Speaker 1: three games, there is any indicator that Russ will have

453
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:10,040
Speaker 1: a better game because he had that bad game in

454
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:12,960
Speaker 1: Game six against Okay, see seven turnovers. That kind of

455
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 1: resembles what he did here in Game two against the Lakers.

456
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 1: So he should have a bounce back game. And a

457
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 1: bounce back game means yeah, he's driving. It means against

458
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 1: that zone. The Lakers. No, I mean, we're a bit

459
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:27,520
Speaker 1: of a bigger team, a bit of a slower team

460
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 1: that they're gonna pull that out. And what are they

461
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:32,639
Speaker 1: gonna do? Just keep chucking. It's it's possible. It is

462
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 1: a wild that they hit that many threes and still

463
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:40,440
Speaker 1: didn't win. The shooters got to chuck. The non shooters

464
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:41,040
Speaker 1: can't chuck.

465
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:42,080
Speaker 3: I mean, and you can't.

466
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:42,480
Speaker 1: Turn the polls.

467
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:44,919
Speaker 3: You can't give the Lakers transition, which I mean the

468
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 3: first half especially, it was the Lakers were just you know,

469
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 3: that's where their money when they're running in transition and

470
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:51,200
Speaker 3: there's some brutal turnal for some Westbrook I don't know.

471
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:55,199
Speaker 3: His handle is very sloppy right now since he's come back,

472
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:57,400
Speaker 3: of course from the injury. The entire time, it hasn't

473
00:20:57,440 --> 00:20:59,480
Speaker 3: looked all that tight. And maybe it's you know, credit

474
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:01,359
Speaker 3: to Lakers. Throw a lot of arms and stuff at him.

475
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 3: But he's got to clean that up and he will.

476
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:06,440
Speaker 3: It's Westbrook, like I'm with your task Hill, He'll bolts back.

477
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:08,879
Speaker 5: You know. It was instrumental in game one. He really

478
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:11,480
Speaker 5: helped win the game for the Rockets in game one.

479
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 5: But uh, Lee, I was feeling for you. Harden had

480
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:16,000
Speaker 5: a pretty good game. You've been praising him, shout out

481
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:19,120
Speaker 5: to you. But also Rondo had an incredible game. How

482
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 5: did you wake up this morning? I said that off

483
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:23,480
Speaker 5: the top, I thought his defense. I thought he started

484
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:25,200
Speaker 5: off the game well, and I thought the fourth quarter

485
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 5: as well, he was pretty good on his defense on

486
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:28,760
Speaker 5: Harden there, and he hit it. He hit that mid

487
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:30,440
Speaker 5: ranger that kind of sealed the game there with a

488
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:32,439
Speaker 5: couple of minutes to go as well, because the Rockets

489
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:35,160
Speaker 5: are basically saying to the late to Rondo, you can

490
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:37,160
Speaker 5: shoot all you want too because that shot. He doesn't

491
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:39,119
Speaker 5: want to take that shot. He will shoot it, but

492
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 5: he doesn't want to. And the Rockets are kind of

493
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:43,880
Speaker 5: like Tony Allen and him saying he's the one guy

494
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:46,160
Speaker 5: we can allow to shoot. So yeah, he was focused,

495
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:48,879
Speaker 5: he was locked in and he you know, there's no

496
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,639
Speaker 5: question that James Harden is enjoying not having Lou Dort on.

497
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 4: Him physically in this series. But Rondo's that agitator, like

498
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 4: a Patrick Beverly, you know, like his arms are always

499
00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:59,439
Speaker 4: in your face, under your legs around you, like he

500
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:01,640
Speaker 4: gets right and your grill there like that.

501
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 3: Well he was last night, I mean night, usually like that,

502
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 3: and honestly, that was you're right, Like, defensively, I can't

503
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 3: remember Rondo playing that sort of like getting down in

504
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 3: the stands, moving his feet, getting up in guys, like

505
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:13,639
Speaker 3: you said he was great.

506
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:16,199
Speaker 4: It proved me it was he was. And that's what

507
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:17,760
Speaker 4: they need. They need him to be if he's going

508
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:19,439
Speaker 4: to be out there on the floor defensively, because on

509
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:21,600
Speaker 4: the offensive end again, you know, like I said, the

510
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:24,360
Speaker 4: shots are there for him. He doesn't want to take them,

511
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:26,879
Speaker 4: he will, but they need him to be contributing on

512
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 4: the other end and just annoying Harden. And he got

513
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 4: that steer with sort of I think the Ruckers are

514
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 4: up five and he got it back to three points

515
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 4: and just made Harden know that he was there the

516
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:37,840
Speaker 4: whole time. So that's what he can bring for the Lakers.

517
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:41,199
Speaker 4: But also other times though throughout the game, he's not

518
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 4: as effective. So it's just whether or not he's locked

519
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 4: in and and on that task that he's out there

520
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 4: to do.

521
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:49,720
Speaker 3: You the ten points has found money. If Ronde plays

522
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:53,639
Speaker 3: defense like that, then that's awesome. Lebron's your point guard anyway.

523
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:55,600
Speaker 3: Really meeting Ronald still at nine as sis, now, some

524
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:57,240
Speaker 3: of those were of the like here we go shoot

525
00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 3: a three variation, but ten points nine says five stick.

526
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 3: I think he was a plus twenty eight in a

527
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:04,879
Speaker 3: you know, obviously a somewhat close game. So he contributed,

528
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:06,800
Speaker 3: and I would say, like a lot of the other guys,

529
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:09,240
Speaker 3: the Lakers guys, because that was my key to the series,

530
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:11,320
Speaker 3: is like, okay, eighty and Lebron are gonna eat. What

531
00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 3: about the other guys? Well, Danny Green hit three three pointers.

532
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:18,040
Speaker 3: Kuzma I thought was contributing, not in the scoring, you know,

533
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:20,400
Speaker 3: a box score, a part of the box score offensive

534
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 3: glass though he had six boards for of them offensive

535
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 3: like overall thirteen points. That's fine, Morris. I mean he

536
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 3: was on fire there for like a three minute stretch.

537
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 3: He had what three or four threes and then Rondo. Yeah,

538
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:36,400
Speaker 3: so that's to me, that is gonna still be when

539
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:39,720
Speaker 3: I'm watching here. It's these other Lakers guys. Can they

540
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 3: contribute to a potential Lakers win. Can the Rockets either

541
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:45,360
Speaker 3: hope that they miss everything or they're just checked out,

542
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 3: or can they keep them, you know, under control, because

543
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,359
Speaker 3: again eighty and Lebron are gonna get like they did

544
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 3: last night. You know, there's seventy points, there's seventy to

545
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:55,440
Speaker 3: eighty points together. It's all these other little guys, these

546
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:57,399
Speaker 3: fringe guys, and I thought they were I thought a

547
00:23:57,400 --> 00:23:59,240
Speaker 3: lot of them tasks were awesome, you know, like I said,

548
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 3: Danny Kuzma, Rondo, and then of course more is sitting

549
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:02,679
Speaker 3: all those threes.

550
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 1: No doubt they follow Lebron's lead. Let's feel it out

551
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:07,600
Speaker 1: in game one and let's come for the show in

552
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:11,480
Speaker 1: game number two, they were awesome. I think Kyle Kuzma,

553
00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:13,960
Speaker 1: even though I've been talking about it a billion times

554
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:15,879
Speaker 1: since we got to the bubble here, I think he

555
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:19,280
Speaker 1: was great. Defensively, I'll mention it again. He really gets

556
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:22,159
Speaker 1: after it. He can take some possessions on Harden and

557
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:25,720
Speaker 1: do a decent job with those long arms. Keith Rondo,

558
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:29,480
Speaker 1: So the term playoff Rondo comes from somewhere. It's I

559
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:31,679
Speaker 1: don't give a poop in the regular season, but come

560
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:34,639
Speaker 1: playoff time, I should show up and yeah, maybe you

561
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:37,840
Speaker 1: just throw a game one there. Because everybody was bad

562
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:40,320
Speaker 1: on the Lakers. I think it's just this is a

563
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:42,600
Speaker 1: good team when they want to be, when they understand

564
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:44,639
Speaker 1: what they're doing, when they understand it's winning time that

565
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:46,440
Speaker 1: they have to win, and sort of it trickles down

566
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 1: to everybody else. And I think Rondo also is benefited

567
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:53,359
Speaker 1: by playing the zone. Defensive leads. You don't have to

568
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 1: take one guy. Everybody is sort of a help defender

569
00:24:56,840 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 1: when you play zone, and that helps Rondo's mentality. He's

570
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:03,640
Speaker 1: not a shutdown guy. He's uh, I'm going to get

571
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:06,199
Speaker 1: in the lanes and and and get deflections and that

572
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:08,800
Speaker 1: type of thing, and so that that helped him. Uh

573
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:11,560
Speaker 1: and uh yeah. And he also loves getting into transition

574
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:14,040
Speaker 1: because that means he can just have a shovel to

575
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 1: market forris assist, shovel assist to put it in the

576
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 1: box score. So yeah, that was that was great. You know,

577
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:26,520
Speaker 1: him and Caruso. Some people don't like the Lakers, but

578
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:29,439
Speaker 1: I think those two guys together, they're kind of likable together.

579
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:33,360
Speaker 1: I think they play together they like headbands. Uh, they're

580
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:35,480
Speaker 1: they're sort of on the they're they're kind of on

581
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:39,240
Speaker 1: the same wavelength that Rono can win in this league.

582
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:41,399
Speaker 1: He is one of the He can get gritty and

583
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:44,679
Speaker 1: he can uh can play hard. And the key was

584
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:47,639
Speaker 1: he was out there with Lebron. But Lebron is the

585
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:50,280
Speaker 1: ball handler, and so I think that that's pretty key

586
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:53,000
Speaker 1: when you're playing with Lebron James, don't handle it at

587
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:54,960
Speaker 1: every stink in time. That's just not going to work.

588
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 3: But because they're leaving him wide open rondo because he

589
00:25:57,640 --> 00:25:59,480
Speaker 3: can't shoot there, it doesn't even want to shoot, they

590
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:02,040
Speaker 3: were still including him in like picking rolls with Lebron,

591
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:03,879
Speaker 3: which is smart, like get him in the action that

592
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:05,640
Speaker 3: way instead of just stick him in a corner where

593
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 3: he's going to be no threat and everybody's just going

594
00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:08,880
Speaker 3: to leave him along. So that was a smart call

595
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 3: from Vogel. Probably Rando slash Lebron, whoever's making that decision.

596
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:16,119
Speaker 3: Any other random notes that anyone wanted to add to this,

597
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:17,320
Speaker 3: like a LEA. I wanted to ask you what was

598
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:19,680
Speaker 3: Lebron's best highlight from this game because he had a couple,

599
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 3: uh yeah, a couple of big dunks have beautiful assist.

600
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:25,240
Speaker 3: I saw you tweeting out.

601
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 4: Ah, that was to Markkeith Morris. Yeah, in the transition

602
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:29,440
Speaker 4: that was nice. He had that block where he sent

603
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:34,520
Speaker 4: the ball like fifty five yards back. I'll say the assist. Yeah,

604
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 4: I like that assist.

605
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:35,520
Speaker 3: It was.

606
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:37,280
Speaker 4: It was beautiful even though it was a dunk. Wasn't

607
00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:40,280
Speaker 4: quite very solid. It was a dun. But it's just

608
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:43,159
Speaker 4: remarkable how I would love to know. He must be

609
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:46,720
Speaker 4: the all time leader in coming back from playoff deficits

610
00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:49,920
Speaker 4: to win series. He must be, because he's virtually down

611
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 4: in every series he plays in and comes back and wins,

612
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 4: you know, like he was down both times so far

613
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:57,240
Speaker 4: in the playoffs here, yeah, you know, and the Lakers

614
00:26:57,240 --> 00:27:00,040
Speaker 4: a favorite to win again here. So it's just in

615
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:01,919
Speaker 4: credible how he does that.

616
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,480
Speaker 1: But uh, that's why his nickname is Lebronto. He's a

617
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:05,720
Speaker 1: real raptor at heart.

618
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:09,399
Speaker 3: It down comes back. I will say about that dime.

619
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:12,040
Speaker 3: I know you know you tweeted it out and everyone's

620
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:14,480
Speaker 3: going nuts. It's a great pass. It's an unbelievable No, no, no,

621
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:16,640
Speaker 3: here's what I was gonna say. I'm a little over

622
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:18,880
Speaker 3: at this point. Now the guy's thirty five years old,

623
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:22,840
Speaker 3: he's played seventeen years. Anytime Lebron still has a beautiful

624
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:25,720
Speaker 3: and incredible pass, we get a whole lot of what

625
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:28,879
Speaker 3: we take this guy for great. He actually is a

626
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:32,280
Speaker 3: damn good passer. It's like, yeah, we've been saying that

627
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:34,600
Speaker 3: for seventeen years.

628
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:38,600
Speaker 5: My favorite take is, you know, Lebron, he's going to

629
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:42,840
Speaker 5: retire as the all time leading score, but passing is

630
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:45,600
Speaker 5: the skill that really sets him apart. You know what,

631
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:48,359
Speaker 5: if you're the best scorer in the NBA, scoring is

632
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:50,680
Speaker 5: the skill that sets you apart. Yeah, Lebron can really

633
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:52,760
Speaker 5: pass the ball, no doubt about it. But being the

634
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:54,919
Speaker 5: all time leading score that's cooler.

635
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:58,199
Speaker 4: Yeah. He speaking of passing last night, I nearly, I

636
00:27:58,280 --> 00:27:59,880
Speaker 4: nearly put up the pip of a hot and pass.

637
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:01,840
Speaker 4: We didn't get converted. I think you're going to see

638
00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:06,160
Speaker 4: you voted or something, because again I thought James Harden's

639
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:08,439
Speaker 4: passing last night was superb. A couple of times he

640
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:10,760
Speaker 4: gets in and he does that super cross court pass

641
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:12,600
Speaker 4: to someone in the corner hits him right on the spot.

642
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:14,720
Speaker 4: It might have been Gordon Who or House I can't

643
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:16,160
Speaker 4: remember who missed the shot and I was like, I'm

644
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:18,480
Speaker 4: going to put this one up, but then I was like, no,

645
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:20,639
Speaker 4: it's it's weird if you put up Hey, this is

646
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:23,399
Speaker 4: an awesome pass if the guy doesn't convert, I thought,

647
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:26,879
Speaker 4: so I was like, ah, you know, it's just sexy

648
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 4: when it's like I think we take I think we

649
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:30,639
Speaker 4: take you for granted when you put these clips up.

650
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:34,119
Speaker 3: Really ellis as a problem.

651
00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:39,080
Speaker 4: But it is funny though, when you I know exactly

652
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:41,560
Speaker 4: what you're talking about. When people say that, like, ah, man, Lebron,

653
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:43,920
Speaker 4: he's passing doesn't get talked about enough. Well, who are

654
00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:46,320
Speaker 4: you talking to? Doesn't talked about enough?

655
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:50,040
Speaker 3: Lebron N. I'm doing it too. I know I've done it, like,

656
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:52,160
Speaker 3: but I did it like eight years ago. I feel like,

657
00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:54,280
Speaker 3: you know, like this guy really is the greatest.

658
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:57,160
Speaker 4: Because he still does those still. Lebron sometimes does those

659
00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:59,520
Speaker 4: back in and then flickered across his body to someone

660
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:01,400
Speaker 4: in the corner. That is an incredible pass. But we

661
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 4: see that so often. That's like, that's just a standard

662
00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:08,960
Speaker 4: Lebron pass now, right, But yeah, he's he's an wilsome player. Lebron.

663
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:14,240
Speaker 3: The only other random note I have from this I

664
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:15,720
Speaker 3: don't want this to get me in trouble here, But

665
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:17,640
Speaker 3: I do have a question for you guys. I appreciate

666
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:19,840
Speaker 3: the optics of it. I get that. I understand that

667
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:22,440
Speaker 3: he's an older gentleman, you know, they're more at risk

668
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:24,560
Speaker 3: and stuff like that. But I'm at the point, like,

669
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:28,280
Speaker 3: why is D'Antoni wearing a mask if he's always taking

670
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:32,280
Speaker 3: it off. I'm a little confused by this, Like it's

671
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:34,720
Speaker 3: always he's got it on and then but it's always

672
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:37,040
Speaker 3: coming off. So it's sort of like, what's the point.

673
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 4: Now what the coaches seem to wear it either.

674
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:42,240
Speaker 5: I think it's because of his age, yeah, an gentry.

675
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:44,800
Speaker 3: I feel like wearing it earlier, I.

676
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:48,040
Speaker 1: Think he's taking it off to scratch his mustache. He

677
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 1: used to used to have that mustache in there, and

678
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:52,320
Speaker 1: it's just I think it's habit now.

679
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 3: I mean, I mean, I wonder, like you said, that's

680
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:57,200
Speaker 3: great point, Trey, Like it was gentry, it was pop

681
00:29:57,560 --> 00:29:59,640
Speaker 3: and then of course it was D'Antoni. No, like, maybe

682
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:03,680
Speaker 3: they to agree to wear it on the sidelines because

683
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 3: of their age possibility probably yeah, yeah, maybe it must

684
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:08,960
Speaker 3: be the thing. Okay, So I take that one, and

685
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 3: it is funny. It's always like it's got it, always

686
00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:12,400
Speaker 3: got to be peeling it off.

687
00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:15,600
Speaker 5: Maybe it would be cool if he experimented with his

688
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:18,080
Speaker 5: facial hair, you know, bring the mustache back for a

689
00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 5: game every now and then, but don't tell anybody, and

690
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:22,280
Speaker 5: then when you finally pull it off, like, what's the

691
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 5: guy again?

692
00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:26,480
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I know. You can print the masks now

693
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:30,760
Speaker 3: where it's your own face face, so he could go, yeah, smooth,

694
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:33,000
Speaker 3: d'An toni mask face and then pull it off and

695
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:35,000
Speaker 3: then the mustache should be there. That'd be pretty trippy.

696
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:37,280
Speaker 3: Have you seen one of those in the flesh, one

697
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:38,960
Speaker 3: of those masks? I just saw one the other day

698
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:41,320
Speaker 3: for the first time, not in the flesh, just in pictures,

699
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:46,320
Speaker 3: and they're hilarious. They are creepy. Oh they're creepy. I'm

700
00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:48,880
Speaker 3: not a fan of that. Look that mask, look phantom masks.

701
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:51,120
Speaker 3: Not a fan of that mask. Look all right, anything,

702
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:53,440
Speaker 3: let's keep it going here, Let's get to I'm not

703
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:55,360
Speaker 3: even asked. Let's get to the Brons.

704
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:58,760
Speaker 5: More grateful dead stuff that's on Lebron wore grateful dead stuff,

705
00:30:58,800 --> 00:30:59,240
Speaker 5: next game.

706
00:30:59,200 --> 00:30:59,600
Speaker 3: Next game.

707
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:02,720
Speaker 5: Oh oh yeah, yeah, yeah, the Teddy Bears. Eh, that's right,

708
00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:05,320
Speaker 5: that's right. He was wearing crocs to the game as well.

709
00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:07,000
Speaker 5: Next thing, we got to know, this guy's gonna be

710
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 5: on ripping lips.

711
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:09,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I guess so, Yeah, he's basically turning into

712
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:13,680
Speaker 3: Tray Cribby. All right, Eastern Conference game, No, Johann, it's

713
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:16,200
Speaker 3: no problem. Bucks topped the heat in overtime to force

714
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:20,240
Speaker 3: Game five Monster Monster game from Middleton tasks what was

715
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:22,760
Speaker 3: your big takeaway from the Bucks keeping their season alive

716
00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:24,720
Speaker 3: here despite honest going down pretty early.

717
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:28,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, Chris Middleton thirty six points and basically won them

718
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:32,200
Speaker 1: the game, won it in overtime. Hit that game winner. Maybe,

719
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 1: just maybe the Bucks were forced into finding something that works.

720
00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:40,280
Speaker 1: That is, play your stars more minutes. That's the first part.

721
00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:42,760
Speaker 1: And Bud said, yeah, we had to win this game.

722
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:45,840
Speaker 1: They also had to win game three. But anyway, you know,

723
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:48,320
Speaker 1: let's not belabor the point there. Let's just point out

724
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 1: Chris Middleton played forty eight minutes in this game of

725
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:53,880
Speaker 1: the fifty three because it went into overtime. A heck lot,

726
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:56,720
Speaker 1: a heck more than the heck lot more than the

727
00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:59,600
Speaker 1: ceiling ceiling. I'll throw that in air. Quotes that he

728
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 1: put on his best players, which was thirty six minutes.

729
00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:07,320
Speaker 1: So can that work in game number five potentially? Well,

730
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:09,960
Speaker 1: that I think, combined with the fact that you just

731
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:13,760
Speaker 1: play through Chris Middleton, because Chris Middleton was essentially the

732
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 1: fulcrum of this offense the whole thing. He was there,

733
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:18,160
Speaker 1: James Harden, it was going through him, he was making

734
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:22,840
Speaker 1: those cross court passes. I do think that could be

735
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 1: a bit of a recipe or the ingredient that would

736
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:30,520
Speaker 1: help them win, which is that guy can make his

737
00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:32,560
Speaker 1: own shots. And Janis, even if he comes back, you

738
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:34,719
Speaker 1: might say, oh, Jani's got to play that way. Janni's

739
00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:36,000
Speaker 1: gonna have the ball. I don't think so. I think

740
00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:38,440
Speaker 1: Ganis could play off the ball, especially because he's he's

741
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:40,560
Speaker 1: going to be questionable for Game number five with that

742
00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:43,640
Speaker 1: ankle injury, and Chris Middleton is the one who can

743
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:45,760
Speaker 1: make shots, and it takes the ball out of Eric

744
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:48,840
Speaker 1: Bledsoe's hands a little bit, which he has been known

745
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:50,720
Speaker 1: to make some bad decisions. He's going to have to

746
00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:53,760
Speaker 1: be there, you know, their rondo, their spot shooter. If

747
00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:56,960
Speaker 1: Chris Middleton can be the guy, if they play more

748
00:32:57,000 --> 00:33:00,440
Speaker 1: minutes for him and Yannis, I think that puts the

749
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:02,720
Speaker 1: heat at a bit of a disadvantage. I mean, it's

750
00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:05,400
Speaker 1: really it's just putting the ball in the hands of

751
00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:07,840
Speaker 1: the guys who can make plays the most. I know

752
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:10,880
Speaker 1: it sounds simple and stupid, but I think it kind

753
00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:14,360
Speaker 1: of it could force Bud's hand here to stop putting

754
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:17,960
Speaker 1: the ball in other guy's hands like Bledsoe and forcing

755
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:23,120
Speaker 1: their best players to make plays, and so you expect

756
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:25,120
Speaker 1: it sounds like a good basketball team. Sounds like a

757
00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:27,000
Speaker 1: good basketball team when you just put it in at

758
00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:29,720
Speaker 1: the All Stars hands. I think I think you kind

759
00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:32,040
Speaker 1: of have to see that in Game five. Doesn't Bud

760
00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:34,960
Speaker 1: watch this and say, oh, it's the only game we won.

761
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:37,920
Speaker 3: I'd be worried with Buddy to go, Oh, we played

762
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:39,640
Speaker 3: him forty eight minutes in game four. He's gonna be

763
00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:41,520
Speaker 3: extra tired. We're going to cut that down to twenty

764
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:42,600
Speaker 3: five minutes in game five.

765
00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:44,840
Speaker 1: Maybe he just needed to be taken to the brink.

766
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:48,800
Speaker 1: It's three, it was three to zero, and finally, finally, finally,

767
00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:51,360
Speaker 1: he's going to play his guys a lot of minutes.

768
00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:53,840
Speaker 1: And the only guys that we're talking about here are

769
00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:56,840
Speaker 1: are middleton Yiannis if he comes back and is healthy,

770
00:33:56,920 --> 00:34:00,320
Speaker 1: and Brooke potentially, but that's it. And and you look

771
00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:02,720
Speaker 1: across and we talked about it the other day, Jimmy

772
00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:05,440
Speaker 1: Butler doesn't have to play that many minutes. It's true,

773
00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:08,160
Speaker 1: they don't because the rest of their guys, like Tyler

774
00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 1: Hero you can trust to make a shot, Jake Crowder,

775
00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:12,320
Speaker 1: you can trust to make a shot. But the Bucks

776
00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:14,360
Speaker 1: they don't have that going on right now. So you

777
00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:17,799
Speaker 1: got to force it, I think, And I'm looking forward

778
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:19,880
Speaker 1: to see what Bud does. I think that puts them

779
00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:22,040
Speaker 1: in a better position to win Game five. And hey,

780
00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:24,719
Speaker 1: it's an unprecedented bubble. Maybe Bud's going to do some

781
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:27,680
Speaker 1: unprecedented things. Maybe the Bucks can come back from three

782
00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:31,040
Speaker 1: to zero. That's a little crazy, wow, But no, it's crazy.

783
00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:36,080
Speaker 1: It is crazy because of Giannis's status. But would we

784
00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:38,120
Speaker 1: be surprised? Twenty twenty is just afft up.

785
00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:41,560
Speaker 3: As hey I said, if any team's going to come

786
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:43,279
Speaker 3: back from three to zero, it would happen in this

787
00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:45,560
Speaker 3: weird neutral slight bubble thing. I don't think it's going

788
00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:47,120
Speaker 3: to happen. Lee, do you think the Heat just took

789
00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:49,279
Speaker 3: their foot off the gas a little bit, especially once

790
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:52,040
Speaker 3: Giannis went down, thought they could ultimately just pull this

791
00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:53,919
Speaker 3: out and then the Bucks would just roll over and die.

792
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:55,680
Speaker 3: What do you think that or is there a little

793
00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:56,560
Speaker 3: adversity here now?

794
00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:56,759
Speaker 5: Oh?

795
00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:59,480
Speaker 4: No, I think to agree. I think once Giannis Guy's out,

796
00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:01,360
Speaker 4: the Hate have been in control of this serious the

797
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:03,520
Speaker 4: entire time. They kind of thought the Bucks haven't really

798
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:05,839
Speaker 4: got the fight left in them, and they but they did.

799
00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:08,000
Speaker 4: They put up that fight. And also Jimmy Butler kind

800
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:10,360
Speaker 4: of weird didn't seem to have that knockout punch that

801
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:12,400
Speaker 4: we've seen from him in those first three games. He

802
00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:14,319
Speaker 4: didn't really do much at all down the stretch there,

803
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:16,360
Speaker 4: and it was kind of like, in my mind, I'm like,

804
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:17,759
Speaker 4: you know, Jimmy's a bit of a bit of a

805
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:19,760
Speaker 4: crazy man. He's like, I'm not beating them if Yannis

806
00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:21,400
Speaker 4: is not playing. I want to wait for Yannis to

807
00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:23,640
Speaker 4: come back, and I'm going to beat this team properly.

808
00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:25,480
Speaker 4: I don't want to take any cheap victories out here.

809
00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:27,560
Speaker 3: But no, you know what that's like To give you

810
00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:29,640
Speaker 3: a great analogy, I know, I don't think either of

811
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:31,920
Speaker 3: you guys have seen it, but the movie rad my

812
00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:34,960
Speaker 3: favorite movie of all time. That is like Bart Taylor

813
00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:38,520
Speaker 3: in Hell Track having a big lead on crew Jones.

814
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:41,279
Speaker 3: He could win the damn race, but he wants to

815
00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:43,879
Speaker 3: beat Crew. He wants to be the local home talon boy,

816
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:47,120
Speaker 3: so he stops mid racely and wheats for Crew Johns

817
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:49,080
Speaker 3: to catch up, so you can have a fair fight,

818
00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:52,120
Speaker 3: a fair battle. I honestly would.

819
00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:53,759
Speaker 4: Be surprised if that was what the way Jimmy was

820
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:55,839
Speaker 4: thinking yesterday, like, well, if Yannis is not playing, I'm

821
00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:57,399
Speaker 4: not playing either it I don't care. I don't want

822
00:35:57,400 --> 00:35:59,960
Speaker 4: to win this thing. But it's also again, the Heat

823
00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:02,680
Speaker 4: won seven in a row, and it was like they

824
00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:06,200
Speaker 4: just didn't seem to have that sort of knockout punch.

825
00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:08,520
Speaker 4: Even though again it came down to overtime and Tyler

826
00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:10,520
Speaker 4: Hero hit those three threes, they still had a chance

827
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:12,919
Speaker 4: to basically to end this series and they just didn't.

828
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:15,160
Speaker 4: So I don't think it really goes much longer than

829
00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:18,279
Speaker 4: that fifth game, though, whether Yannis plays or not, who knows.

830
00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:20,480
Speaker 4: I think the Heat will come out and be like,

831
00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:22,839
Speaker 4: all right, let's make sure we end this thing now.

832
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:25,200
Speaker 4: We don't want to give that bucks any life out

833
00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:27,359
Speaker 4: there at all. And Jay Crowder doesn't want this series

834
00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:30,200
Speaker 4: to end though he's shooting the ball so well, he'd

835
00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:32,520
Speaker 4: be happy to play seven games. He's just firing away,

836
00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:35,440
Speaker 4: so maybe we'll go a bit more. But ultimately I

837
00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:37,799
Speaker 4: think Miami come out in game five and be like,

838
00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:40,799
Speaker 4: all right, let's end this right now, make sure we

839
00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:42,000
Speaker 4: finish these guys off.

840
00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:44,799
Speaker 5: What do you think, Trey, I think bam Adebayo now

841
00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:46,520
Speaker 5: that he said, we didn't play like we did during

842
00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:49,200
Speaker 5: games one through three, and that was the difference. You know,

843
00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:51,640
Speaker 5: this ended up being a three point game, an overtime

844
00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:54,719
Speaker 5: victory for the Bucks because Taylor Hero was keeping it close,

845
00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:56,560
Speaker 5: hitting a bunch of shots where it seemed like, Okay,

846
00:36:56,560 --> 00:36:58,680
Speaker 5: this thing is finally over, and then Hero would hit

847
00:36:58,719 --> 00:36:59,960
Speaker 5: a shot and the next thing, you know, we're going

848
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:03,960
Speaker 5: to overtime. But yeah, I just thought the Bucks were better,

849
00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:06,920
Speaker 5: especially once Giannis went out. You know, they kind of

850
00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:09,680
Speaker 5: realized we all have to do something here. Jiannis was

851
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:11,080
Speaker 5: great while he was in, but it was a little

852
00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:13,880
Speaker 5: bit of standing around watching Giannis be great once he

853
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:17,920
Speaker 5: was out. Middleton was awesome and you know, he didn't

854
00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:19,719
Speaker 5: actually hit a shot in the fourth quarter, which is

855
00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:21,359
Speaker 5: a little bit surprising, but he did a great job

856
00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:23,040
Speaker 5: of making plays for teammates. I think he had four

857
00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:24,960
Speaker 5: assists in the fourth quarter. You would have liked to

858
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:27,000
Speaker 5: see Jimmy Butler step up and guard him. Am I right,

859
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:29,279
Speaker 5: that's what we're saying about Giannis for the entirety of

860
00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:31,279
Speaker 5: the first three games. How come your best players not

861
00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:34,040
Speaker 5: Garden their best player. That's a perfect matchup for Jimmy Butler.

862
00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:37,120
Speaker 5: The heat could have ended the series yesterday. But you know,

863
00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:39,520
Speaker 5: they won their first what seven playoff games, so it's

864
00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:41,759
Speaker 5: hard to knock them too hard right here. But they

865
00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:43,799
Speaker 5: were more gentlemanly than I thought they would be. They

866
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:46,120
Speaker 5: took it easy there, especially in the fourth quarter, and

867
00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:48,359
Speaker 5: that's why the Bucks were able to get a win. Yeah,

868
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:50,160
Speaker 5: Middleton was special. There is no doubt.

869
00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:52,120
Speaker 3: They got him the bolt, the free throw line. It

870
00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:54,000
Speaker 3: felt like all the time when he just went to work.

871
00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:56,000
Speaker 3: You guys said either knocking down shots there in the

872
00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:58,080
Speaker 3: third quarter and then some in overtime. We're setting up

873
00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:00,000
Speaker 3: guys too. He was pretty special. I think it's long

874
00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:02,120
Speaker 3: a little bit here from the from the story of

875
00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:04,560
Speaker 3: this game because it is the Middleton show. But I mean,

876
00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:07,200
Speaker 3: you slipped it in their trade. Giannest was a monster.

877
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:10,840
Speaker 3: In the eleven minutes he played him nineteen points you know,

878
00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:13,480
Speaker 3: I barely missed a shot, Like, holy crap, the Bucks

879
00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:15,239
Speaker 3: may not even win the game, you know, if you

880
00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:17,759
Speaker 3: Honest doesn't put up that type of stat line before

881
00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:21,000
Speaker 3: he ultimately goes out re injuring his ankle, who knows

882
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:22,759
Speaker 3: what happens with him in game five? He left the

883
00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:26,960
Speaker 3: arena in a walking boot. Probably never good. The ankles are,

884
00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:28,920
Speaker 3: you know, they're always a weird thing. It's it's like

885
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:31,120
Speaker 3: the next day where the trainers are going to look

886
00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:33,279
Speaker 3: at it and himself it's likes it better? Is it worse?

887
00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:33,440
Speaker 1: Like?

888
00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:35,399
Speaker 3: Sometimes it can get a lot worse actually the next day.

889
00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:38,080
Speaker 3: So I don't know, my do you have any guesses leader,

890
00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:40,160
Speaker 3: whether we even see Honest in a game five?

891
00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:43,719
Speaker 4: I mean, I think he probably gives it a go

892
00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:47,359
Speaker 4: because sometimes like that one didn't look super super bad.

893
00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:49,239
Speaker 4: You've seen something that get twisted way worse. But of

894
00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:50,880
Speaker 4: course we don't know what it's like unless you're the

895
00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:52,920
Speaker 4: person who's feeling it. The fact that he left the game.

896
00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:55,600
Speaker 3: I mean he also fell to the ground in.

897
00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:59,160
Speaker 4: Pain, so I wow, yeah, yeah, but yeah, the walking

898
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:01,520
Speaker 4: boot not a great sign. But I sort of I

899
00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:03,319
Speaker 4: sort of feel because he was questionable even going into

900
00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:05,920
Speaker 4: this game right up until the game started, so I

901
00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:07,799
Speaker 4: guess he's just going to give it a go right

902
00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:09,920
Speaker 4: before and if he's feeling okay, he'll try, and if not,

903
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:13,040
Speaker 4: then he won't. But yeah, it's it's it's too bad

904
00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:16,080
Speaker 4: if he doesn't play. I mean, it just sucks if

905
00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:18,200
Speaker 4: one of the best players is not out there. But

906
00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:21,400
Speaker 4: I mean the Bucks can they can they gal you know,

907
00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:23,839
Speaker 4: use this to galvanize themselves and get back in. It

908
00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:25,759
Speaker 4: was sort of like a do whatever it takes to

909
00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:28,520
Speaker 4: win game yesterday and they got it done, so maybe

910
00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:30,759
Speaker 4: they'll feel sort of inspired to do it. But there's

911
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:32,839
Speaker 4: one very weird I know, we don't want to talk

912
00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:34,920
Speaker 4: about refereeing, but let's talk about it for a sec yet.

913
00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:39,160
Speaker 4: Brook low Pez in overtime had that like Dirk type

914
00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:41,359
Speaker 4: of fading away as that shot clock was running out.

915
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:44,920
Speaker 4: And originally the call was on the foot that I

916
00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:46,360
Speaker 4: can't remember who watch from the heat I think was

917
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:50,239
Speaker 4: Bam collided with his foot, and the heat challenged that

918
00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:54,360
Speaker 4: call because that call was wrong. He didn't really connect

919
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:56,520
Speaker 4: with his feet, but he did hit him on the hand,

920
00:39:57,480 --> 00:39:59,960
Speaker 4: and so the referees were like, okay, well you did

921
00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:01,560
Speaker 4: fould him in there even though you didn't fail him

922
00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:03,600
Speaker 4: on the one that we called, so we will still

923
00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:06,399
Speaker 4: give your free throws. That to me is ridiculous. That's

924
00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:09,360
Speaker 4: ridiculous because you look at the referee there, he's standing

925
00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:12,560
Speaker 4: there looking down, he sees the feet clatter together, and

926
00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:14,759
Speaker 4: then he calls the foul, right, so that's what he's

927
00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:17,279
Speaker 4: calling the foul, and he misses the first one. So

928
00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:19,839
Speaker 4: the heat challenged win the challenge. But then the rest

929
00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:21,760
Speaker 4: just say, oh, yeah, but he found him there anyway,

930
00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:23,680
Speaker 4: so we're just going to give him that foul. That's

931
00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:27,440
Speaker 4: stupid for me, That is so stupidupid. You can't just

932
00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:29,640
Speaker 4: say well, yeah, okay, we've got the safety net here

933
00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:31,640
Speaker 4: though of this foul. Because this was a foul. They

934
00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:32,359
Speaker 4: missed that call.

935
00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:32,839
Speaker 3: That's it.

936
00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:36,520
Speaker 4: That that call has gone. It's evaporated, it's vanished. You

937
00:40:36,560 --> 00:40:38,359
Speaker 4: can't just use that to bail yourself out of then

938
00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:40,080
Speaker 4: saying well, we're giving you free throws, and no matter what,

939
00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:41,760
Speaker 4: one way or the other, we're giving him free throws.

940
00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:45,480
Speaker 4: That's bad and it's confusing and it drives people like

941
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:49,239
Speaker 4: me crazy because I'm like, you've you've made you've used

942
00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:51,600
Speaker 4: a make up call on a call that you got wrong,

943
00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:54,360
Speaker 4: that's something you'd never seen before, a makeup call on

944
00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:56,920
Speaker 4: an actual call, and Brooke went to the free throw line,

945
00:40:57,000 --> 00:40:59,040
Speaker 4: hit both three throws and made a three point game.

946
00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:02,759
Speaker 3: So I'm board getting rid of instant replay review on

947
00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:05,200
Speaker 3: any sort of foul call. I think it should only

948
00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:07,160
Speaker 3: be used for out of bound stuff. I do. I

949
00:41:07,719 --> 00:41:09,919
Speaker 3: this is it's getting worse and worse and worse here,

950
00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:12,359
Speaker 3: And uh, I understand the importance of like, oh, who

951
00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:14,520
Speaker 3: did it touch? Whose ball is it? This is big,

952
00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:17,080
Speaker 3: it's a big possession. Who's are we actually giving the

953
00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:19,440
Speaker 3: rock to? Here? I get that. Let's go check those out. Sure,

954
00:41:19,640 --> 00:41:21,680
Speaker 3: and it's obviously very very difficult to even tell in

955
00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:25,239
Speaker 3: real time, but this is it's getting silly. It is

956
00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:27,480
Speaker 3: and like like task brought it up with that rockets one,

957
00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:29,680
Speaker 3: with the Westbrook incident, and like, okay, now it's different.

958
00:41:29,719 --> 00:41:31,920
Speaker 3: Now it's something else, and now it's like it's it's

959
00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:34,600
Speaker 3: They don't even do a great job of relaying the

960
00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:36,640
Speaker 3: information on the on the broadcast to a lot of

961
00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:38,840
Speaker 3: the viewers. I find you're like, you're left confused. The

962
00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:44,319
Speaker 3: broadcast booth is confused. That's that's bad. So you're gonna

963
00:41:44,360 --> 00:41:47,440
Speaker 3: have bad calls, deal with it. Who cares and go

964
00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:49,000
Speaker 3: from there. But that's my opinion on it. You're you're

965
00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:50,000
Speaker 3: not wrongly it's weird.

966
00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:53,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, just just to me, it was like, I don't

967
00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:55,919
Speaker 4: understand how you can do that. You just say, well,

968
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:57,359
Speaker 4: we missed we missed one call.

969
00:41:57,600 --> 00:42:02,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, it seemed to be that the rule that you

970
00:42:02,160 --> 00:42:05,759
Speaker 1: can't do that. It's it's yeah, we're adjudicating what we

971
00:42:05,840 --> 00:42:09,359
Speaker 1: called yes or no. But yeah, I think if they

972
00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:11,400
Speaker 1: get rid of the challenge, then they get rid of

973
00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:14,560
Speaker 1: this in general, this whole thing that we're talking about,

974
00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:17,480
Speaker 1: all these questionable calls, and I think they will get

975
00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:20,520
Speaker 1: rid of the challenge next year, although I know it

976
00:42:20,560 --> 00:42:23,600
Speaker 1: does it does help at times and calls do get

977
00:42:23,600 --> 00:42:26,200
Speaker 1: overturned that we're the wrong ones. But I'm with you, Skeets.

978
00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:31,080
Speaker 1: I'm not a fan, not a fan of robot umpires.

979
00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:33,160
Speaker 1: I want a little bit of I want a little

980
00:42:33,160 --> 00:42:34,920
Speaker 1: bit of human error in the game. Give me some

981
00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:37,399
Speaker 1: of that human error. I love of humans, I love

982
00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:41,480
Speaker 1: how flawed we are. I'm okaid with that on the only.

983
00:42:41,320 --> 00:42:43,080
Speaker 3: Good thing to come out of this challenge is we

984
00:42:43,120 --> 00:42:46,480
Speaker 3: got a gift of lee doing this riding the horse.

985
00:42:46,640 --> 00:42:48,120
Speaker 3: That's the only good thing to come out of this

986
00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:50,239
Speaker 3: damn thing. By the way, the Bucks avoided becoming the

987
00:42:50,239 --> 00:42:52,880
Speaker 3: first overall number one seed to get swept from the

988
00:42:52,920 --> 00:42:57,560
Speaker 3: playoffs since two thousand and one. Lee when who beat

989
00:42:57,600 --> 00:43:01,319
Speaker 3: who in number one over all seed? Last number one

990
00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:04,400
Speaker 3: overall seed to get swept in the playoffs? West Finals?

991
00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:05,839
Speaker 3: I'll give you that West Finals.

992
00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:08,520
Speaker 4: To the Spurs.

993
00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:09,800
Speaker 3: Sp That's right, who did it?

994
00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:11,040
Speaker 1: Who swept the Kers?

995
00:43:11,080 --> 00:43:11,479
Speaker 4: The likes?

996
00:43:11,520 --> 00:43:14,120
Speaker 3: There you go? Who was on the Spurs bench?

997
00:43:15,680 --> 00:43:15,799
Speaker 1: What?

998
00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:18,040
Speaker 4: Tim duncan h sure?

999
00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:23,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, Andrew Gao. He was an assistant coach for the Spurs,

1000
00:43:23,239 --> 00:43:25,640
Speaker 3: so he avoids the sweet there thanks to Chris Middleton

1001
00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:28,239
Speaker 3: really going bockers there with the what do you have?

1002
00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:29,960
Speaker 3: Thirty six? Do I win my bet? By the way,

1003
00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:33,000
Speaker 3: well yeah you said there? What did because I threw

1004
00:43:33,040 --> 00:43:34,960
Speaker 3: it into the yes kidding?

1005
00:43:35,040 --> 00:43:36,800
Speaker 4: I was all right, Yeah, I was confused.

1006
00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:38,600
Speaker 3: I mean no, I'm not I mean no, I'm not kidding.

1007
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:41,759
Speaker 4: I thought we went double and nothing on his last

1008
00:43:41,760 --> 00:43:42,680
Speaker 4: game against the Magic.

1009
00:43:43,480 --> 00:43:45,880
Speaker 3: Uh No, I thought we switched the bet to something else.

1010
00:43:47,239 --> 00:43:48,640
Speaker 4: Let's have another one and then let's start on.

1011
00:43:48,560 --> 00:43:50,200
Speaker 3: The Okay, we'll figure it out. Okay, let's take a

1012
00:43:50,239 --> 00:43:52,919
Speaker 3: quick break though before we get to some beach questions lately.

1013
00:43:54,239 --> 00:43:57,279
Speaker 4: Yeah, now is the time to celebrate because football is is.

1014
00:43:57,400 --> 00:44:02,279

1046
00:45:39,640 --> 00:45:42,080

1047
00:45:44,280 --> 00:45:48,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, that's great. Speaking of being a maker, Rain,

1048
00:45:48,120 --> 00:45:51,640
Speaker 4: did anyone see Novak Djokovic yesterday get the defaulter from

1049
00:45:51,640 --> 00:45:52,440
Speaker 4: the US opened?

1050
00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:52,960
Speaker 3: Yeah?

1051
00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:54,279
Speaker 1: What do you think? What has that got to do

1052
00:45:54,320 --> 00:45:56,560
Speaker 1: with free challenge? We got a referee challenge on that.

1053
00:45:57,080 --> 00:45:57,959
Speaker 1: I should have been a jet.

1054
00:45:58,000 --> 00:45:59,920
Speaker 4: So that was it. They sort of went to the rule.

1055
00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:02,839
Speaker 4: Can they enforce it? Because silly thing? What Novak did?

1056
00:46:02,880 --> 00:46:05,200
Speaker 4: I mean, you know, you can't hit the lines people

1057
00:46:05,280 --> 00:46:08,000
Speaker 4: and people are people are saying, Oh, well, it's an accident.

1058
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:10,279
Speaker 4: It's like, come on, man, Novak Jockovitch one of the

1059
00:46:10,320 --> 00:46:13,839
Speaker 4: greatest players we've ever seen. He's he doesn't accidentally hit

1060
00:46:13,880 --> 00:46:17,200
Speaker 4: it in that direction. He was upset. Bang the lines

1061
00:46:17,239 --> 00:46:19,920
Speaker 4: person deserved to get thrown out of it, like Creamer.

1062
00:46:19,719 --> 00:46:22,759
Speaker 3: Getting hit with.

1063
00:46:23,239 --> 00:46:25,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like throwing it at the referee. It wasn't.

1064
00:46:25,920 --> 00:46:28,400
Speaker 1: It wasn't a hey, let me just whip it out

1065
00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:31,320
Speaker 1: of the lines man. It was a you know, firm

1066
00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:32,439
Speaker 1: It was a firm hit.

1067
00:46:32,760 --> 00:46:34,759
Speaker 4: Yeah, And that's but it's that's the thing, like those

1068
00:46:34,800 --> 00:46:37,680
Speaker 4: guys aren't like accidentally hitting it there. They know how

1069
00:46:37,719 --> 00:46:40,520
Speaker 4: to hit the ball pretty well. So that was he

1070
00:46:40,600 --> 00:46:41,360
Speaker 4: hit his target.

1071
00:46:41,840 --> 00:46:44,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was hit her in the neck, the neck head,

1072
00:46:44,640 --> 00:46:45,080
Speaker 1: I think so.

1073
00:46:45,480 --> 00:46:50,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, she went down like I mean, but yeah, sure, right,

1074
00:46:50,760 --> 00:46:51,600
Speaker 4: yeah she's fine.

1075
00:46:51,680 --> 00:46:54,000
Speaker 3: Okay, I don't care. Well, what did that have to

1076
00:46:54,040 --> 00:46:54,879
Speaker 3: do with making a ring?

1077
00:46:55,719 --> 00:46:57,160
Speaker 1: He was just trying to change this outhing.

1078
00:47:01,960 --> 00:47:14,320
Speaker 3: Let's hit the beach here for a quick second. Yeah,

1079
00:47:14,480 --> 00:47:16,839
Speaker 3: why not get a few questions in here. As we

1080
00:47:17,120 --> 00:47:20,760
Speaker 3: gear up for Wednesday's Beach step in podcast, our mailbag

1081
00:47:20,840 --> 00:47:23,080
Speaker 3: only episode still got time to get your cues in

1082
00:47:23,080 --> 00:47:25,040
Speaker 3: no dunk at the Athletic dot Com or tweet me

1083
00:47:25,120 --> 00:47:27,279
Speaker 3: not no I few here. First one, Hey, guys, I

1084
00:47:27,320 --> 00:47:30,640
Speaker 3: just saw that Rockets general manager Darryl Moury emphatically said

1085
00:47:30,680 --> 00:47:33,279
Speaker 3: that signing coach D'Antoni is at the top of the

1086
00:47:33,320 --> 00:47:35,920
Speaker 3: franchise's list this offseason. In fact, he said it was

1087
00:47:35,960 --> 00:47:40,040
Speaker 3: super important and probably a number one priority. I thought

1088
00:47:40,120 --> 00:47:43,520
Speaker 3: Mikey was a gunner. What's going on here? What would

1089
00:47:43,560 --> 00:47:45,560
Speaker 3: you do if you were Maury? Thanks so much for

1090
00:47:45,600 --> 00:47:48,080
Speaker 3: all the laughs that's from a DP task. What do

1091
00:47:48,120 --> 00:47:49,840
Speaker 3: you think I mean? Yeah, you just saw this news

1092
00:47:49,880 --> 00:47:52,160
Speaker 3: that Maury is saying no, no, no, D'Antoni. We want

1093
00:47:52,160 --> 00:47:54,560
Speaker 3: to keep him around, when we thought maybe the opposite

1094
00:47:54,600 --> 00:47:55,479
Speaker 3: was happening. What do you think.

1095
00:47:56,000 --> 00:47:58,279
Speaker 1: I'm glad he said this because it is one of

1096
00:47:58,320 --> 00:48:02,280
Speaker 1: the most odd coaching scenario I thought in the NBA,

1097
00:48:02,520 --> 00:48:06,200
Speaker 1: because d'antoni's done a good job with the Houston Rockets

1098
00:48:06,200 --> 00:48:08,319
Speaker 1: and they made him a lame duck coach. There was

1099
00:48:08,360 --> 00:48:11,200
Speaker 1: the whole thing at the beginning of the year where

1100
00:48:11,480 --> 00:48:14,840
Speaker 1: Rockets owner Tilmo and for Tita basically said, I don't know,

1101
00:48:14,880 --> 00:48:17,440
Speaker 1: we might give you a one year extension or they

1102
00:48:17,640 --> 00:48:19,560
Speaker 1: put everything out on the street. They put all of

1103
00:48:19,600 --> 00:48:23,120
Speaker 1: their negotiations out there, and it made Mike D'Antoni, who

1104
00:48:23,160 --> 00:48:26,600
Speaker 1: has been around for a very long time into this,

1105
00:48:26,840 --> 00:48:29,200
Speaker 1: put him into this scenario where he I'm sure he

1106
00:48:29,200 --> 00:48:33,960
Speaker 1: didn't feel appreciated, and they took the whole year to

1107
00:48:34,040 --> 00:48:36,520
Speaker 1: get this done. They didn't get anything done, but to

1108
00:48:36,719 --> 00:48:40,360
Speaker 1: at least verbally say that he's going to stick around,

1109
00:48:40,840 --> 00:48:43,960
Speaker 1: and it makes more sense to do something like that,

1110
00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:45,560
Speaker 1: and if you fire him down the line because of

1111
00:48:45,640 --> 00:48:50,360
Speaker 1: something happens, that to me is it's not, you know,

1112
00:48:50,400 --> 00:48:52,840
Speaker 1: the morally right thing to do, but it's more morally

1113
00:48:52,920 --> 00:48:55,440
Speaker 1: right then doing what they did at the beginning of

1114
00:48:55,480 --> 00:48:58,440
Speaker 1: the season, and it's it was just not the right

1115
00:48:58,480 --> 00:49:01,400
Speaker 1: way to handle things. And Tim for Tita, maybe he

1116
00:49:01,440 --> 00:49:04,600
Speaker 1: feels better as the Rockets owner here because all of

1117
00:49:04,640 --> 00:49:07,480
Speaker 1: his restaurants are the ones that the players are going

1118
00:49:07,520 --> 00:49:09,960
Speaker 1: to in the bubble, So maybe he's making a ton

1119
00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:12,000
Speaker 1: of dough. So now he's realizing, all right, I can

1120
00:49:12,080 --> 00:49:14,200
Speaker 1: pay Mike D'Antoni. But it was a mistake from the

1121
00:49:14,200 --> 00:49:17,759
Speaker 1: get go, and this is a step I think in

1122
00:49:17,800 --> 00:49:21,080
Speaker 1: the right direction, but you know, I don't even know

1123
00:49:21,120 --> 00:49:22,759
Speaker 1: how you can really rectify what they did at the

1124
00:49:22,800 --> 00:49:24,279
Speaker 1: beginning of the year. I think that's a little bit

1125
00:49:24,280 --> 00:49:26,839
Speaker 1: of a black mark on the franchise, on the organization

1126
00:49:26,960 --> 00:49:30,600
Speaker 1: when when other coaches look at that, it looked like

1127
00:49:30,640 --> 00:49:35,040
Speaker 1: til and Fertina just wasn't treating his head coach properly.

1128
00:49:35,080 --> 00:49:36,680
Speaker 1: I'm not sure how much Morey had to do with it,

1129
00:49:36,800 --> 00:49:38,319
Speaker 1: or if he could have done anything with it, but

1130
00:49:38,560 --> 00:49:40,160
Speaker 1: they were just too verbal about it back then.

1131
00:49:41,360 --> 00:49:44,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, my thoughts on that at that Darren Mory may

1132
00:49:44,480 --> 00:49:47,319
Speaker 4: want to sign Darren Mory may want to re sign

1133
00:49:47,360 --> 00:49:49,760
Speaker 4: Mike D'Antoni, but maybe he doesn't have the ultimate decision

1134
00:49:49,760 --> 00:49:51,560
Speaker 4: for that because he probably would have done it at

1135
00:49:51,600 --> 00:49:53,080
Speaker 4: the start of last season if he could have. I

1136
00:49:53,160 --> 00:49:55,920
Speaker 4: believe that Fortitda was the one who was like he

1137
00:49:56,000 --> 00:50:00,160
Speaker 4: halted negotiations. So we'll see how that changes now. If

1138
00:50:00,239 --> 00:50:01,880
Speaker 4: the Rockets, I mean, what happens if they lose in

1139
00:50:01,880 --> 00:50:03,839
Speaker 4: five games here, then do they still then they want

1140
00:50:03,880 --> 00:50:06,239
Speaker 4: to retain him because I mean, I think he's a

1141
00:50:06,239 --> 00:50:08,240
Speaker 4: great coach for the system, for the way that they play.

1142
00:50:08,560 --> 00:50:10,759
Speaker 4: But you're already seeing that like teams, maybe like even

1143
00:50:10,800 --> 00:50:12,560
Speaker 4: the Indiana Pacers, are sort of saying, you know, if

1144
00:50:12,560 --> 00:50:14,719
Speaker 4: he's available, will grab D'Antoni. So you know he's going

1145
00:50:14,800 --> 00:50:17,360
Speaker 4: to be in demand no matter what. It's just ultimately,

1146
00:50:17,400 --> 00:50:20,279
Speaker 4: I guess who has that final decision in Houston. I mean,

1147
00:50:20,280 --> 00:50:21,880
Speaker 4: it should be Morty, he should be the GM, that's

1148
00:50:21,920 --> 00:50:25,239
Speaker 4: why he's there. But maybe for Tito has overruled him

1149
00:50:25,280 --> 00:50:27,600
Speaker 4: at the start of the season and said, no, we're

1150
00:50:27,600 --> 00:50:29,680
Speaker 4: not giving him an extension right now. So will that

1151
00:50:29,719 --> 00:50:32,279
Speaker 4: be the same in this case when D'Antoni is out

1152
00:50:32,320 --> 00:50:32,920
Speaker 4: of contract.

1153
00:50:33,680 --> 00:50:35,239
Speaker 5: That's a good question. But I think you head on

1154
00:50:35,280 --> 00:50:38,200
Speaker 5: it Lee because of the system. When you look at

1155
00:50:38,239 --> 00:50:41,640
Speaker 5: the Rockets pay roll for next year, Westbrook, Harden, Gordon Covington,

1156
00:50:41,719 --> 00:50:44,320
Speaker 5: Tucker House, those are your top six guys. You're playing

1157
00:50:44,360 --> 00:50:46,120
Speaker 5: small ball again, and if you're playing small ball, it's

1158
00:50:46,160 --> 00:50:47,920
Speaker 5: probably better to stick with the guy who actually knows

1159
00:50:47,960 --> 00:50:50,360
Speaker 5: what he's doing in small ball. Can you imagine bringing

1160
00:50:50,360 --> 00:50:53,160
Speaker 5: in another coach to coach an all small team, a

1161
00:50:54,440 --> 00:50:57,400
Speaker 5: coach who hasn't done it for the majority of his career.

1162
00:50:57,719 --> 00:51:01,040
Speaker 5: Once the Rockets made the decision to Clint Capella out

1163
00:51:01,080 --> 00:51:03,719
Speaker 5: and bring in Robert Covington and really commit to play

1164
00:51:03,719 --> 00:51:05,719
Speaker 5: in the pocket rocket style. I think that that was

1165
00:51:05,800 --> 00:51:08,920
Speaker 5: a benefit for d'antni, just because that's a hard system

1166
00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:11,520
Speaker 5: to learn, but you're already in it. You're already in

1167
00:51:11,560 --> 00:51:13,480
Speaker 5: it for next year. It looks like as well, so

1168
00:51:14,160 --> 00:51:15,919
Speaker 5: might as well roll with what got you there. And

1169
00:51:16,040 --> 00:51:17,920
Speaker 5: it has worked a little bit in the playoffs. I

1170
00:51:17,920 --> 00:51:21,560
Speaker 5: think is probably encouraging as well to take down the

1171
00:51:21,600 --> 00:51:23,440
Speaker 5: thunder first and then to at least put a scare

1172
00:51:23,480 --> 00:51:26,400
Speaker 5: into the Lakers. You see that it could possibly work

1173
00:51:26,680 --> 00:51:27,680
Speaker 5: for an entire season.

1174
00:51:28,120 --> 00:51:30,279
Speaker 3: I think this might be a little pr spin here

1175
00:51:30,320 --> 00:51:35,319
Speaker 3: from the Rockets knowing the possibility of d'An Toni leaving Houston, right,

1176
00:51:35,320 --> 00:51:37,360
Speaker 3: because that's the thing. There's going to be coaching vacancies,

1177
00:51:37,360 --> 00:51:39,239
Speaker 3: he said, the Pacers there Lee, he said, there's other

1178
00:51:39,360 --> 00:51:41,959
Speaker 3: openings still that he could be like, well, maybe I'll

1179
00:51:41,960 --> 00:51:44,120
Speaker 3: just go there. He could leave, right, I mean, he

1180
00:51:44,160 --> 00:51:46,600
Speaker 3: doesn't have to resign with the Rockets or anything like that.

1181
00:51:46,880 --> 00:51:50,040
Speaker 3: So they're saying, oh, well, we found him very important,

1182
00:51:50,080 --> 00:51:52,680
Speaker 3: he was a priority, but now he's gone. So we

1183
00:51:52,760 --> 00:51:54,880
Speaker 3: tried I mean, like Tess Woo took us through like

1184
00:51:55,000 --> 00:51:56,719
Speaker 3: you did a bad job because you only wanted to

1185
00:51:56,719 --> 00:51:59,560
Speaker 3: give him a one year deal after he had some

1186
00:51:59,680 --> 00:52:01,760
Speaker 3: decent success, obviously getting the tam of the playoffs, getting

1187
00:52:01,760 --> 00:52:03,239
Speaker 3: in the Western Commons finals the one time. Who knows

1188
00:52:03,239 --> 00:52:05,279
Speaker 3: what happens if Chris Paul isn't get injured. So I

1189
00:52:05,320 --> 00:52:07,640
Speaker 3: saw all I think this is. I still think d'antoni's

1190
00:52:08,120 --> 00:52:11,400
Speaker 3: leaving Houston, although I guess it's a little dependent on

1191
00:52:11,440 --> 00:52:14,080
Speaker 3: what happens here in the playoff bubble. But if they

1192
00:52:14,120 --> 00:52:16,000
Speaker 3: go to the finals or win a championship for crime allowed,

1193
00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:18,319
Speaker 3: maybe sticks then But I think he's gone, and I

1194
00:52:18,320 --> 00:52:20,359
Speaker 3: think this is just a way to maybe say and look,

1195
00:52:20,480 --> 00:52:22,480
Speaker 3: let's be honest too, Maury may not even be there,

1196
00:52:22,560 --> 00:52:25,960
Speaker 3: right We don't know that with the relationship with him

1197
00:52:25,960 --> 00:52:27,880
Speaker 3: and Tilma and if that's fractured or if he's going

1198
00:52:27,920 --> 00:52:29,920
Speaker 3: to stick around. So I think that's all this is.

1199
00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:32,840
Speaker 3: I'm still convinced Mike D'Antoni actually just either stops coaching

1200
00:52:32,880 --> 00:52:35,320
Speaker 3: for a year or two, or more likely, in my opinion,

1201
00:52:35,400 --> 00:52:37,880
Speaker 3: picks one of these other spots and goes there. But

1202
00:52:38,200 --> 00:52:40,960
Speaker 3: who knows. We will see next question here. I see

1203
00:52:40,960 --> 00:52:43,160
Speaker 3: a lot of NBA guys wearing new shoes for every

1204
00:52:43,239 --> 00:52:45,839
Speaker 3: game and always wondered if they get blisters by doing that.

1205
00:52:46,400 --> 00:52:48,520
Speaker 3: New shoes always take a couple of basketball sessions to

1206
00:52:48,560 --> 00:52:50,800
Speaker 3: break in and feel comfortable on the feet. Do you

1207
00:52:50,840 --> 00:52:53,360
Speaker 3: have any insight into how they are able to change

1208
00:52:53,440 --> 00:52:57,480
Speaker 3: shoes so frequently or have you had any bad experiences

1209
00:52:57,520 --> 00:52:59,200
Speaker 3: with new shoes? Keep up the great work that's from

1210
00:52:59,280 --> 00:53:02,080
Speaker 3: Dylan Trey just started here.

1211
00:53:03,040 --> 00:53:05,279
Speaker 5: Well, some players get new shoes for every game, like

1212
00:53:05,880 --> 00:53:08,280
Speaker 5: Lebron will wear a new pair of shoes for every game.

1213
00:53:08,400 --> 00:53:10,279
Speaker 5: Kyrie Irving will wear a new pair of shoes of

1214
00:53:10,320 --> 00:53:12,839
Speaker 5: every game the signature guys. A lot of players though,

1215
00:53:13,280 --> 00:53:15,239
Speaker 5: will wear the same pair for a couple of weeks

1216
00:53:15,280 --> 00:53:16,960
Speaker 5: and switch them out, or you know, they have a

1217
00:53:16,960 --> 00:53:18,920
Speaker 5: few pairs in the rotation that they wear over the

1218
00:53:18,920 --> 00:53:21,600
Speaker 5: course of a couple of weeks. But in general, they've

1219
00:53:21,600 --> 00:53:24,880
Speaker 5: got orthotic inserts. They've got a birkenstock footbed that they

1220
00:53:24,880 --> 00:53:26,560
Speaker 5: can put in the bottom of every shoe. So it's

1221
00:53:26,640 --> 00:53:29,520
Speaker 5: very comfortable no matter what your shoe isn't different every

1222
00:53:29,520 --> 00:53:31,880
Speaker 5: single time. Not to mention, you know, the shoe that

1223
00:53:31,960 --> 00:53:33,839
Speaker 5: Lebron is wearing is not the same one you're gonna

1224
00:53:33,840 --> 00:53:37,319
Speaker 5: get at the store, because it's custom fit to Lebron's foot,

1225
00:53:37,360 --> 00:53:38,680
Speaker 5: so when he puts it on, it feels like he's

1226
00:53:38,680 --> 00:53:40,759
Speaker 5: putting on the perfect shoe, because you don't want to

1227
00:53:40,800 --> 00:53:42,719
Speaker 5: have bad feet out there. And some guys just have

1228
00:53:42,719 --> 00:53:44,200
Speaker 5: to break him in like a baseball glove. There was

1229
00:53:44,200 --> 00:53:46,840
Speaker 5: always a story about Antoine Jamison like folding his shoes

1230
00:53:46,840 --> 00:53:48,960
Speaker 5: in half and putting them underneath a chair before he

1231
00:53:49,000 --> 00:53:50,440
Speaker 5: would play in them. I don't know if you ever

1232
00:53:50,480 --> 00:53:51,880
Speaker 5: put him in the oven like you would do with

1233
00:53:51,920 --> 00:53:54,919
Speaker 5: a baseball glove. Was that something that ever actually worked.

1234
00:53:54,920 --> 00:53:56,480
Speaker 3: I don't know. They're like, you gotta heat it up.

1235
00:53:56,640 --> 00:53:59,760
Speaker 1: Sure they do that. They do that at Dix Sporting.

1236
00:53:59,760 --> 00:54:04,760
Speaker 1: Guy actually have an oven there. It's out for display.

1237
00:54:04,880 --> 00:54:08,200
Speaker 1: Throw your glove in there, and apparently it works. Sounds

1238
00:54:08,239 --> 00:54:10,320
Speaker 1: a little crazy, though, right put the leather in the oven.

1239
00:54:11,440 --> 00:54:13,720
Speaker 1: What's wrong with a good old elastic, some good old

1240
00:54:14,040 --> 00:54:14,760
Speaker 1: canola oil.

1241
00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:18,840
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I'd love to break in a baseball glove.

1242
00:54:19,080 --> 00:54:21,400
Speaker 5: But you know, I feel like I've gotten like one

1243
00:54:21,440 --> 00:54:24,000
Speaker 5: hundred throzen in the past decades. It would probably be

1244
00:54:24,040 --> 00:54:28,000
Speaker 5: a little bit tough. As for wearing a new shoe

1245
00:54:28,040 --> 00:54:30,160
Speaker 5: and having an issue with it, For me, the most

1246
00:54:30,239 --> 00:54:33,320
Speaker 5: recent I can think of was a last Trivia we

1247
00:54:33,360 --> 00:54:35,160
Speaker 5: went to with Matt Austin. I had a new pair

1248
00:54:35,160 --> 00:54:36,919
Speaker 5: of loafers to wear, and I thought we were going

1249
00:54:36,960 --> 00:54:39,520
Speaker 5: to the Independent, a nice short walk. We ended up

1250
00:54:39,520 --> 00:54:44,440
Speaker 5: walking over to the local, just shredding my feet my

1251
00:54:44,560 --> 00:54:47,839
Speaker 5: shiny black loafers. Maybe not the greatest choice to walk

1252
00:54:47,920 --> 00:54:50,040
Speaker 5: barefoot all the way there on the belt line, but

1253
00:54:50,239 --> 00:54:52,400
Speaker 5: uh we took home to win, so I had war

1254
00:54:52,480 --> 00:54:53,840
Speaker 5: them for every single time after that.

1255
00:54:54,120 --> 00:54:56,680
Speaker 3: Lucky shoes for Birkin stock clogs?

1256
00:54:56,840 --> 00:54:57,000
Speaker 5: Is that?

1257
00:54:57,400 --> 00:54:57,600
Speaker 2: Oh?

1258
00:54:57,719 --> 00:55:00,200
Speaker 5: No, these were bass loafers. These are the the ones

1259
00:55:00,280 --> 00:55:02,480
Speaker 5: your dad would wear in the nineteen fifties to go

1260
00:55:02,640 --> 00:55:07,719
Speaker 5: to his college course with a strap over his shoulder. Yeah,

1261
00:55:07,760 --> 00:55:09,399
Speaker 5: they're not meant for walking that far.

1262
00:55:09,520 --> 00:55:12,359
Speaker 3: But you wore them without socks too. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

1263
00:55:12,360 --> 00:55:14,719
Speaker 3: it was a double butch. Yeah all right, Lee. You

1264
00:55:14,800 --> 00:55:17,520
Speaker 3: got any bad shoe experiences, blister stuff like that?

1265
00:55:17,640 --> 00:55:19,960
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, Often when you get a new pair of

1266
00:55:19,960 --> 00:55:23,200
Speaker 4: flip flops, the first first couple of times you wear them,

1267
00:55:23,239 --> 00:55:25,160
Speaker 4: they can rub because it's on the bare skin there.

1268
00:55:25,560 --> 00:55:27,960
Speaker 4: But once you get them worn in, they're okay. That's

1269
00:55:27,960 --> 00:55:29,799
Speaker 4: the same with shoes, I think too. Once you find

1270
00:55:29,840 --> 00:55:32,319
Speaker 4: that pair of basketball shoes that you just love. You

1271
00:55:32,480 --> 00:55:35,080
Speaker 4: just wear those into the ground as well. The first

1272
00:55:35,120 --> 00:55:37,400
Speaker 4: pair of iveson five's I had the black with a

1273
00:55:37,440 --> 00:55:40,520
Speaker 4: gray stripe there. They were so comfortable to play in,

1274
00:55:40,560 --> 00:55:42,560
Speaker 4: but towards the end it was like they were just

1275
00:55:42,640 --> 00:55:45,640
Speaker 4: worn down. But I still just hung on dear life

1276
00:55:45,640 --> 00:55:46,800
Speaker 4: because they were just so great.

1277
00:55:46,880 --> 00:55:49,719
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, those are those are like boats. You

1278
00:55:49,760 --> 00:55:51,920
Speaker 1: can just throw your foot in them. There's there's no

1279
00:55:52,000 --> 00:55:57,040
Speaker 1: friction whatsoever. They're nation wide. Like's wearing those because he's

1280
00:55:57,080 --> 00:56:01,120
Speaker 1: got a white foot.

1281
00:55:59,640 --> 00:56:02,000
Speaker 4: And right must have similar feet because they have my

1282
00:56:02,080 --> 00:56:06,440
Speaker 4: favorite as well. But sometimes though, like we've been like

1283
00:56:06,520 --> 00:56:08,160
Speaker 4: at those Jordan runs and things like that, and you

1284
00:56:08,200 --> 00:56:10,880
Speaker 4: get a brand new pair, yeah you're like, oh awesome, awesome,

1285
00:56:10,880 --> 00:56:13,200
Speaker 4: But if they you know, sometimes they can really rub

1286
00:56:13,200 --> 00:56:15,160
Speaker 4: on your feet in the wrong spot and give for sure.

1287
00:56:15,239 --> 00:56:17,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, absolutely, because the way you're moving around out

1288
00:56:17,520 --> 00:56:19,239
Speaker 3: there on the floor. Yeah, No, wearing a pair of

1289
00:56:19,280 --> 00:56:22,040
Speaker 3: massball shoes for the first time generally sucks, especially like

1290
00:56:22,120 --> 00:56:24,600
Speaker 3: Trey said, we're getting you know, we're not getting these

1291
00:56:24,600 --> 00:56:27,480
Speaker 3: custom made. I'm sure they're even using different material for

1292
00:56:27,560 --> 00:56:30,759
Speaker 3: these guys in some cases, and you're you're getting you know,

1293
00:56:30,840 --> 00:56:34,600
Speaker 3: the mass produced shoe. Yeah, oh absolutely, Well, yeah, I've

1294
00:56:34,600 --> 00:56:37,200
Speaker 3: had some crazy blisters from All Star weekend runs and

1295
00:56:37,200 --> 00:56:40,040
Speaker 3: stuff like that, where okay, yeah, this is like the

1296
00:56:40,239 --> 00:56:42,799
Speaker 3: ultimate first world problem, right, You're getting free day keys

1297
00:56:42,800 --> 00:56:44,200
Speaker 3: and then you had a couple of blisters. But it

1298
00:56:44,239 --> 00:56:45,200
Speaker 3: does happen, for sure.

1299
00:56:45,280 --> 00:56:47,279
Speaker 4: Well, that happened when I played. I was at the

1300
00:56:47,280 --> 00:56:50,040
Speaker 4: finals in twenty seventeen. I think it was in Cleveland

1301
00:56:50,080 --> 00:56:51,600
Speaker 4: and I got to play that pickup game with the

1302
00:56:51,600 --> 00:56:55,040
Speaker 4: Warriors training stuff and mys and the only shoes I

1303
00:56:55,120 --> 00:56:56,920
Speaker 4: had was size eleven and they were under armas and

1304
00:56:56,960 --> 00:56:59,279
Speaker 4: I'm a size twelve twelve and a half and I

1305
00:56:59,320 --> 00:57:01,799
Speaker 4: only had ankle socks on as well. But I was like, yeah,

1306
00:57:01,840 --> 00:57:04,160
Speaker 4: that's fine, it's fine. So I was running out there

1307
00:57:04,200 --> 00:57:07,680
Speaker 4: just like I had a stick list is off of

1308
00:57:07,680 --> 00:57:09,239
Speaker 4: that one. But it was worth it just to be

1309
00:57:09,280 --> 00:57:11,520
Speaker 4: able to play with those guys, you know, tough it out.

1310
00:57:11,600 --> 00:57:13,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was cool that you got a nickname from it.

1311
00:57:13,440 --> 00:57:17,320
Speaker 5: Everybody was calling you a least sick blisters llos Hey.

1312
00:57:17,680 --> 00:57:20,200
Speaker 3: Speaking of shoes, especially when you get Tray's take on this,

1313
00:57:20,240 --> 00:57:22,160
Speaker 3: I tweeted this last night, what do you think of

1314
00:57:22,200 --> 00:57:24,520
Speaker 3: these hardened color waves that he's been rocking here the

1315
00:57:24,640 --> 00:57:28,320
Speaker 3: last couple so it's an interesting interesting look here these Adidas.

1316
00:57:28,360 --> 00:57:30,400
Speaker 3: What do you think, Trey? I don't love them.

1317
00:57:30,520 --> 00:57:33,240
Speaker 5: Kyle Lowry's been wearing a pair of Hardens as well,

1318
00:57:33,240 --> 00:57:36,000
Speaker 5: and they look way cooler this colorway though, not doing

00:57:41,880 --> 00:57:44,880
Speaker 3: they've been slimed, Yeah don't. I don't love them. It's

1322
00:57:44,880 --> 00:57:47,200
Speaker 3: something there's I don't know what it is. It just

1323
00:57:47,240 --> 00:57:49,959
Speaker 3: doesn't work. Maybe it's like too much predominantly black shoe.

1324
00:57:50,000 --> 00:57:52,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, but then it's yeah, the plain black front is

1325
00:57:52,720 --> 00:57:53,800
Speaker 5: really thrown off by the.

00:58:09,160 --> 00:58:12,520
Speaker 3: oh yeah, let's talk about our ball.

1334
00:58:13,200 --> 00:58:16,640
Speaker 5: Don't get too excited, skeets. It finally happened. Our manscaped

1335
00:58:16,680 --> 00:58:19,120
Speaker 5: ad reads got too good. We flew too close to

1336
00:58:19,160 --> 00:58:21,200
Speaker 5: the sun. And you might remember last week we made

1337
00:58:21,280 --> 00:58:24,480
Speaker 5: some jokes about how manscapes lawnmower three point zero cordless

1338
00:58:24,480 --> 00:58:26,720
Speaker 5: body trimmer. It's the best on the market, there's no

1339
00:58:26,760 --> 00:58:29,080
Speaker 5: doubt about it. But we said we're ready for the

1340
00:58:29,120 --> 00:58:30,400
Speaker 5: lawnmower four point zero.

1341
00:58:30,840 --> 00:58:31,400
Speaker 3: Very funny.

1342
00:58:31,960 --> 00:58:34,800
Speaker 5: But over the weekend, the founder of Manscapes, Dan Manscape,

1343
00:58:34,800 --> 00:58:36,520
Speaker 5: he emailed us with a few concerns.

1344
00:58:36,840 --> 00:58:37,400
Speaker 3: I'll read it.

1345
00:58:37,560 --> 00:58:40,520
Speaker 5: He said, Hey, guys, just wanted to drop you all

1346
00:58:40,520 --> 00:58:42,320
Speaker 5: a note to say thanks for all the hard work

1347
00:58:42,320 --> 00:58:44,880
Speaker 5: you've been doing to build the Manscape brand. Sometimes it

1348
00:58:44,880 --> 00:58:47,440
Speaker 5: can be difficult for our hosts to share the intimate

1349
00:58:47,480 --> 00:58:50,280
Speaker 5: moments of their life, like how they prepare for a

1350
00:58:50,320 --> 00:58:52,880
Speaker 5: wedding anniversary, or when the last time they shaved their

1351
00:58:52,920 --> 00:58:55,120
Speaker 5: balls down to the skin was. You guys do it

1352
00:58:55,160 --> 00:58:58,120
Speaker 5: willingly and for extended periods of time, so thank you

1353
00:58:58,160 --> 00:59:00,800
Speaker 5: for that. However, I have to ask that you stop

1354
00:59:00,880 --> 00:59:04,320
Speaker 5: promoing the lawnmower four point zero cordless body trigger. As

1355
00:59:04,320 --> 00:59:07,000

00:59:07,000 --> 00:59:10,000
Speaker 5: and development designing the lawnmower three point zero cordless body

1357
00:59:10,000 --> 00:59:13,640
Speaker 5: trimmer Despite your jokes, it's still the premier body trimmer

1358
00:59:13,640 --> 00:59:14,160
Speaker 5: in the game.

1359
00:59:14,280 --> 00:59:15,760
Speaker 3: Just like the Crop Preserver is.

1360
00:59:15,680 --> 00:59:18,800
Speaker 5: The finest anti shaping ball deodorant on the market, just

1361
00:59:18,920 --> 00:59:22,160
Speaker 5: like Crop Reviver is the best spray on ball toner around.

1362
00:59:22,160 --> 00:59:24,360

1363

1366
00:59:29,240 --> 00:59:32,200
Speaker 5: loves them. Yes, we're hard at work designing the lawnmower

1367
00:59:32,240 --> 00:59:35,800
Speaker 5: four point zero, but we're still crushing the competition with

1368

1389
01:00:32,680 --> 01:00:36,320
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, it's good advice critique there. You know, we

1390
01:00:36,320 --> 01:00:39,160
Speaker 3: were getting a little silly with those adreads, looking ahead

1391
01:00:39,160 --> 01:00:40,560
Speaker 3: to the future a little too much. When you got

1392
01:00:40,560 --> 01:00:42,520
Speaker 3: a perfect product right there, right by your balls, you know,

1393
01:00:43,080 --> 01:00:46,560
Speaker 3: you have perfect product in the perfect package. Three point oh. Yeah.

1394
01:00:46,600 --> 01:00:49,920
Speaker 1: I wonder I think you may have found it funnier

1395
01:00:49,920 --> 01:00:54,680
Speaker 1: than man scapeye, because said it sounds more like Skapi's.

1396
01:00:54,800 --> 01:00:56,120
Speaker 1: Is that why I just thought?

1397
01:00:56,200 --> 01:00:58,600
Speaker 3: I thought, Trey said in the beginning when he was

1398
01:00:58,640 --> 01:01:00,680
Speaker 3: reading the email, I thought, you said, we got this

1399
01:01:00,720 --> 01:01:03,520
Speaker 3: from Dan Manscape. We have to go back and check.

1400
01:01:04,720 --> 01:01:07,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, no, I thought it'd be fine because it

1401
01:01:07,280 --> 01:01:09,880
Speaker 1: does sound like scabies, and I wonder if manscape could

1402
01:01:09,880 --> 01:01:11,080
Speaker 1: take care of scabies as well.

1403
01:01:11,360 --> 01:01:16,560
Speaker 3: Probably now we're gonna get another letter. Jeez, all right,

1404
01:01:17,120 --> 01:01:18,880
Speaker 3: let's get to tweet of the.

1405
01:01:18,920 --> 01:01:27,160
Speaker 1: Night, Tweet of the knight. Wow, Twitt, what do we got?

1406
01:01:27,320 --> 01:01:28,240
Speaker 3: Let's our tweet of the night.

1407
01:01:28,280 --> 01:01:30,640
Speaker 1: The sweet of the night comes from Peter Rash.

1408
01:01:30,880 --> 01:01:30,960
Speaker 5: No.

1409
01:01:31,960 --> 01:01:35,560
Speaker 1: Our tweet of the night comes from a great writer,

1410
01:01:36,040 --> 01:01:40,280
Speaker 1: Michael Starberry. And he has a tweet about Jimmy Butler.

1411
01:01:40,920 --> 01:01:49,520
Speaker 1: Why did Jimmy Butler ask to guard Chris Middleton? Yeah? Because, yeah,

1412
01:01:49,560 --> 01:01:53,320
Speaker 1: he's taken over the fourth quarter. He's talking a lot

1413
01:01:53,320 --> 01:01:56,080
Speaker 1: of smack about being dumb man. But he did not

1414
01:01:56,240 --> 01:01:59,240
Speaker 1: do that. And then Michael Starberry added this tweet here

1415
01:02:00,040 --> 01:02:06,040
Speaker 1: you did shut down don Dave di Vincenzo though, just

1416
01:02:06,120 --> 01:02:07,320
Speaker 1: some good Twitter humor.

1417
01:02:09,160 --> 01:02:11,720
Speaker 4: Come on, Dante nearly blew it at the line though

1418
01:02:11,800 --> 01:02:16,760
Speaker 4: last night there luck he came through. I came through, lucky. Yeah, man, man,

1419
01:02:16,840 --> 01:02:22,080
Speaker 4: you missed that first one though. I had my tweet

1420
01:02:22,080 --> 01:02:22,560
Speaker 4: ready to go.

1421
01:02:23,040 --> 01:02:23,920
Speaker 1: WHOA, what was it?

1422
01:02:24,520 --> 01:02:26,800
Speaker 4: Practice your free throws?

1423
01:02:27,920 --> 01:02:29,200
Speaker 3: You'll get to use that one again.

1424
01:02:29,560 --> 01:02:35,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, keep it in the drafts for sure. So yeah,

1425
01:02:35,160 --> 01:02:39,040
Speaker 1: that listen. I think Twitter it's been slacking a little bit.

1426
01:02:39,080 --> 01:02:42,200
Speaker 1: I don't know, has it been lacking for you?

1427
01:02:42,200 --> 01:02:43,400
Speaker 3: You've got a problem with Twitter.

1428
01:02:43,440 --> 01:02:45,800
Speaker 1: Now, come on, man, I've got no friends. I need

1429
01:02:45,840 --> 01:02:48,200
Speaker 1: Twitter to be my friend. Pick it up, Twitter, get

1430
01:02:48,240 --> 01:02:49,320
Speaker 1: some good tweets out there.

1431
01:02:51,680 --> 01:02:53,720
Speaker 3: We'll give you Dan Manscapes email.

1432
01:02:56,720 --> 01:02:56,959
Speaker 1: Chat.

1433
01:02:59,160 --> 01:03:00,400
Speaker 3: Speaking of that, I don't have in front of me.

1434
01:03:00,400 --> 01:03:01,920
Speaker 3: IM sorry, I should have given it to gd But

1435
01:03:02,440 --> 01:03:05,560
Speaker 3: our Manscaped ads were so great last week that we

1436
01:03:05,680 --> 01:03:09,360
Speaker 3: have listeners now doing fan art for our ad reads.

1437
01:03:09,720 --> 01:03:13,440
Speaker 3: We tweeted out, we retweeted it. Fantastic word so damn good.

1438
01:03:13,440 --> 01:03:14,880
Speaker 3: We might have to make it into a T shirt.

1439
01:03:14,920 --> 01:03:17,840
Speaker 3: Let's be honest. The No Dunk's logo in the form

1440
01:03:17,920 --> 01:03:20,520
Speaker 3: of some beautiful bushes with all five of us trimming

1441
01:03:20,560 --> 01:03:24,600
Speaker 3: away there with our you know, our our shears three

1442
01:03:24,600 --> 01:03:28,520
Speaker 3: point zero. It's very very nice, great stuffy. We'll show

1443
01:03:28,520 --> 01:03:31,080
Speaker 3: it to you some other time. Let's get to today's games.

1444
01:03:31,200 --> 01:03:32,000
Speaker 3: What do we got?

1445
01:03:32,280 --> 01:03:38,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, doubleheader tonight obviously TNT tonight, Boston Toronto starts us

1446
01:03:38,040 --> 01:03:42,680
Speaker 1: off six thirty Eastern shoutout to Tears and nine o'clock

1447
01:03:42,760 --> 01:03:47,600
Speaker 1: Eastern Clippers. Manscaped Nuggets. Yeah, the Manscape series there, So

1448
01:03:48,800 --> 01:03:51,800
Speaker 1: I think we should talk about Boston Toronto. I think

1449
01:03:51,920 --> 01:03:54,040
Speaker 1: I don't think anyone is really going to get all

1450
01:03:54,040 --> 01:03:56,400
Speaker 1: that excited for for Denver.

1451
01:03:56,160 --> 01:03:56,720
Speaker 3: Unless you are.

1452
01:03:56,840 --> 01:03:59,160
Speaker 1: Unless you are, maybe I'm putting your some words in

1453
01:03:59,160 --> 01:04:03,320
Speaker 1: your mouth. But take us through Boston, Toronto, Trey. What

1454
01:04:03,400 --> 01:04:07,840
Speaker 1: do you think is gonna happen in this pivotal game? Five?

1455
01:04:07,880 --> 01:04:09,160
Speaker 1: We're a locked at two.

1456
01:04:09,640 --> 01:04:12,320
Speaker 3: Ooh, so pivotal.

1457
01:04:12,480 --> 01:04:15,480
Speaker 5: I've been thinking to myself, can I really stand with

1458
01:04:15,640 --> 01:04:16,400
Speaker 5: Skeets tonight?

1459
01:04:16,440 --> 01:04:17,360
Speaker 3: I don't know if I can do it.

1460
01:04:17,400 --> 01:04:19,560
Speaker 5: You know, I've stood twice and it's gotten two wins

1461
01:04:19,560 --> 01:04:20,280
Speaker 5: for the Raptors.

1462
01:04:20,280 --> 01:04:22,520
Speaker 3: But I picked the Beantown Boys.

1463
01:04:22,560 --> 01:04:24,560
Speaker 5: Certainly, I would love to support my friends, but I

1464
01:04:24,600 --> 01:04:27,840
Speaker 5: also to see my pick come true. That being said,

1465
01:04:27,840 --> 01:04:29,959
Speaker 5: it's not really on me if I choose to stand

1466
01:04:30,040 --> 01:04:31,960
Speaker 5: or not. It's on Kemba Walker. You're gonna shoot more

1467
01:04:32,000 --> 01:04:34,040
Speaker 5: than nine times? Are you gonna be the guy who

1468
01:04:34,120 --> 01:04:36,080
Speaker 5: has bet? Are you gonna be the Kyle Lowry of

1469
01:04:36,120 --> 01:04:38,720
Speaker 5: the Celtics. You know, Kyle Lowry has been instrumental in

1470
01:04:38,760 --> 01:04:40,919
Speaker 5: the games three and four wins for the Raptors. He's

1471
01:04:40,920 --> 01:04:43,480
Speaker 5: certainly outplayed Kemba Walker. So now it's Chembis's turn to

1472
01:04:43,520 --> 01:04:45,640
Speaker 5: hit back. I hope it's a close one. You know,

1473
01:04:45,680 --> 01:04:49,880
Speaker 5: this series has been awesome. Basically after game one, Games two, three,

1474
01:04:49,880 --> 01:04:52,440
Speaker 5: and four very close, and that's what we expected heading

1475
01:04:52,440 --> 01:04:56,080
Speaker 5: into this. Hopefully we get another tight game down the stretch.

1476
01:04:57,800 --> 01:04:58,560
Speaker 1: Skeats, what do you think?

1477
01:04:58,880 --> 01:05:02,080
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, I think trade there. I think who out

1478
01:05:02,080 --> 01:05:05,240
Speaker 3: of Kyle and Kemba can really have their imprint on

1479
01:05:05,280 --> 01:05:07,440
Speaker 3: this game. I would expect we're gonna see Walker a

1480
01:05:07,480 --> 01:05:09,320
Speaker 3: lot more locked in who can hit threes? Let's just

1481
01:05:09,320 --> 01:05:11,720
Speaker 3: be honest, like, I mean, whatever team seems to hit

1482
01:05:11,720 --> 01:05:13,919
Speaker 3: the most threes in these games goes on to win.

1483
01:05:14,000 --> 01:05:16,560
Speaker 3: So who can knock those down with some consistency because

1484
01:05:16,560 --> 01:05:19,360
Speaker 3: the defenses are so good and sometimes your best look

1485
01:05:19,440 --> 01:05:20,480
Speaker 3: is going to be a three and you just got

1486
01:05:20,480 --> 01:05:21,959
Speaker 3: to hit it. So who knows?

1487
01:05:22,000 --> 01:05:22,240
Speaker 1: With that?

1488
01:05:23,120 --> 01:05:25,760
Speaker 3: I'll be standing, We'll get hashtag stand with Skeets going again.

1489
01:05:25,800 --> 01:05:28,440
Speaker 3: Shout out to everyone playing their part. I'm a little

1490
01:05:28,440 --> 01:05:31,880
Speaker 3: worried that a Baka task is due for maybe a

1491
01:05:32,000 --> 01:05:35,280
Speaker 3: dud of a game. Guy's been money, he has been money.

1492
01:05:35,280 --> 01:05:37,680
Speaker 3: But at some point, at some point, I assume those

1493
01:05:37,680 --> 01:05:40,200
Speaker 3: threes are going to dry up. So maybe a raptor

1494
01:05:40,240 --> 01:05:43,440
Speaker 3: is like a norm even a gasol. Someone else has

1495
01:05:43,440 --> 01:05:45,120
Speaker 3: got to sort of step up. I think and maybe

1496
01:05:45,160 --> 01:05:46,800
Speaker 3: fill the role here for in Abocket tonight, but I

1497
01:05:46,800 --> 01:05:49,800
Speaker 3: believe it will be another close game for sure. I

1498
01:05:49,880 --> 01:05:52,400
Speaker 3: don't see a lot of blowouts happening in this type

1499
01:05:52,400 --> 01:05:54,800
Speaker 3: of series when defenses are that good. I really really don't.

1500
01:05:54,840 --> 01:05:57,600
Speaker 3: So you know, go, Raptors won't be the end of

1501
01:05:57,600 --> 01:05:59,520
Speaker 3: the world if they drop this Bean Down boys are

1502
01:05:59,520 --> 01:06:02,400
Speaker 3: a good team him, but down we'll be standing for sure.

1503
01:06:02,800 --> 01:06:06,960
Speaker 1: It's purvital, It's quite I think the stat is eighty

1504
01:06:07,000 --> 01:06:08,840
Speaker 1: two percent of teams that win Game five and a

1505
01:06:08,880 --> 01:06:10,960
Speaker 1: two to two battle win the series.

1506
01:06:11,000 --> 01:06:11,200
Speaker 3: Sick.

1507
01:06:11,920 --> 01:06:13,800
Speaker 1: It's big, So Lee, what do you think who's winning

1508
01:06:13,840 --> 01:06:14,280
Speaker 1: Game five?

1509
01:06:14,800 --> 01:06:17,760
Speaker 4: I'm looking forward to seeing the Siakam versus Jalen Brown

1510
01:06:17,800 --> 01:06:20,480
Speaker 4: matchup because Jalen Brown was outplayed in Game four. He

1511
01:06:20,480 --> 01:06:22,680
Speaker 4: couldn't shoot the ball all that well and defensively he

1512
01:06:22,720 --> 01:06:24,800
Speaker 4: wasn't good, but largely because of the foul trouble. But

1513
01:06:24,880 --> 01:06:27,919
Speaker 4: did Pascal gain some confidence more than just the fact

1514
01:06:27,920 --> 01:06:30,000
Speaker 4: that Jalen couldn't be as aggressive with him this time?

1515
01:06:30,240 --> 01:06:32,760
Speaker 4: So will Pascal go out there and put in another

1516
01:06:32,800 --> 01:06:35,200
Speaker 4: solid performance because if he does, I think it tilts

1517
01:06:35,200 --> 01:06:37,920
Speaker 4: it back in the Raptors favor. The great thing about

1518
01:06:38,040 --> 01:06:41,320
Speaker 4: being unobjective is you can cheer for teams. So I'm

1519
01:06:41,360 --> 01:06:42,880
Speaker 4: going for the Raptors. So let's see if they can

1520
01:06:42,880 --> 01:06:44,920
Speaker 4: do it. I'll be standing tonight, I'll be wearing a

1521
01:06:45,000 --> 01:06:47,320
Speaker 4: Raptors T shirt. I'm going for the Raptors. Let's see

1522
01:06:47,320 --> 01:06:48,680
Speaker 4: if they can do it again. It's great when a

1523
01:06:48,720 --> 01:06:51,040
Speaker 4: team was down to and looked like they could have

1524
01:06:51,080 --> 01:06:52,680
Speaker 4: been I mean, they were basically down three to zero.

1525
01:06:52,720 --> 01:06:54,400
Speaker 4: Let's be honest here, they were down three to zero

1526
01:06:54,720 --> 01:06:57,200
Speaker 4: if it wasn't for that crazy shot from Og and

1527
01:06:57,240 --> 01:06:59,520
Speaker 4: now they've got some life again. Freddie Saturday after Game

1528
01:06:59,520 --> 01:07:01,720
Speaker 4: three that they fed up the Celtics and they missed

1529
01:07:01,760 --> 01:07:04,040
Speaker 4: their chance to knock the Raptors out. Well, we'll see

1530
01:07:04,040 --> 01:07:06,000
Speaker 4: what happens tonight. So yeah, I'm going for the Raptors.

1531
01:07:06,080 --> 01:07:06,920
Speaker 4: Let's hope they can do it.

1532
01:07:06,960 --> 01:07:08,960
Speaker 3: He speaking of T shirts, is you're nipple leaking?

1533
01:07:09,200 --> 01:07:09,400
Speaker 5: Nah?

1534
01:07:10,160 --> 01:07:12,360
Speaker 4: I took a drink, I spilled some water. Yeah, it

1535
01:07:12,440 --> 01:07:15,040
Speaker 4: was gonna happen. I was gonna have umlike Sergeer buckerd

1536
01:07:15,040 --> 01:07:21,840
Speaker 4: had a pretty flawless playoff run. But Judah miss out there.

1537
01:07:22,160 --> 01:07:25,360
Speaker 1: You're on the human man, exactly what you got Susan

1538
01:07:25,520 --> 01:07:27,640
Speaker 1: of those things, did you and you said the best

1539
01:07:27,640 --> 01:07:30,240
Speaker 1: part of being objective is being subjective? Is that? Is

1540
01:07:30,240 --> 01:07:30,880
Speaker 1: that what you said?

1541
01:07:31,120 --> 01:07:36,080
Speaker 4: Unobjective? Unobjective? Yeah, like that's great. I mean we don't

1542
01:07:36,080 --> 01:07:38,439
Speaker 4: have to be like, oh, I think this team's good

1543
01:07:38,480 --> 01:07:39,440
Speaker 4: and I think that team's good.

1544
01:07:39,480 --> 01:07:40,160
Speaker 3: We're fans.

1545
01:07:40,240 --> 01:07:41,000
Speaker 4: Be fans.

1546
01:07:41,640 --> 01:07:44,640
Speaker 3: You know, you're a fan of every team. That's not every.

1547
01:07:44,440 --> 01:07:46,800
Speaker 4: Team, not every team, but you know, it's just it's

1548
01:07:46,840 --> 01:07:49,360
Speaker 4: just great being being a fan of Remember the last year,

1549
01:07:49,480 --> 01:07:52,640
Speaker 4: Skeetze in Toronto for Game five when when the Raptors

1550
01:07:52,720 --> 01:07:54,640
Speaker 4: nearly did it, wasn't that fun? Just getting into it,

1551
01:07:54,720 --> 01:07:55,920
Speaker 4: throwing yourself into.

1552
01:07:55,680 --> 01:07:58,800
Speaker 3: The game, even though it was also Yeah, we were

1553
01:07:58,800 --> 01:08:00,520
Speaker 3: in the press box. Is that you're talking about that?

1554
01:08:00,560 --> 01:08:03,960
Speaker 4: Were in the press box where we had the.

1555
01:08:04,000 --> 01:08:07,080
Speaker 3: Press area and you were standing up slapping the wall

1556
01:08:07,200 --> 01:08:12,320
Speaker 3: behind you like a mediac. John Schumann was rolling his eyes,

1557
01:08:12,360 --> 01:08:13,680
Speaker 3: going get this guy on here.

1558
01:08:15,800 --> 01:08:18,880
Speaker 4: We had media passes, but we weren't in the media section.

1559
01:08:19,240 --> 01:08:22,800
Speaker 3: We're fans. We're fans. I don't know about that, but

1560
01:08:23,720 --> 01:08:24,639
Speaker 3: it's way much more.

1561
01:08:24,680 --> 01:08:26,679
Speaker 4: It's way more fun when you just let yourself get

1562
01:08:26,680 --> 01:08:29,160
Speaker 4: into that moment and get caught up with it. Trust me, No,

1563
01:08:29,240 --> 01:08:30,240
Speaker 4: I get.

1564
01:08:30,000 --> 01:08:33,280
Speaker 3: That, but you understand the media part where you're not

1565
01:08:33,280 --> 01:08:34,160
Speaker 3: supposed to be doing that.

1566
01:08:34,600 --> 01:08:35,800
Speaker 4: I think it's boring, to be honest.

1567
01:08:35,800 --> 01:08:37,400
Speaker 3: I know we've talked about it before. It didn't matter

1568
01:08:37,439 --> 01:08:39,720
Speaker 3: the Raptors lost that game. Anyway.

1569
01:08:40,479 --> 01:08:43,120
Speaker 1: I definitely think as the Raptors are making this a series,

1570
01:08:43,200 --> 01:08:46,200
Speaker 1: it pops into my brain. Maybe I can travel and

1571
01:08:46,240 --> 01:08:47,120
Speaker 1: get to Game six.

1572
01:08:48,320 --> 01:08:49,760
Speaker 4: Drive down. Let's drive down.

1573
01:08:50,040 --> 01:08:51,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, just knock on Walt Disney's door.

1574
01:08:53,040 --> 01:08:56,120
Speaker 4: No quarantine, We just here it for the fans. We'll

1575
01:08:56,120 --> 01:08:58,280
Speaker 4: sit on the other side where they're on. Any fans anyway,

1576
01:08:58,840 --> 01:08:59,400
Speaker 4: that's all right.

1577
01:09:00,560 --> 01:09:02,360
Speaker 3: I'll sit on your lap leeve if they only give

1578
01:09:02,439 --> 01:09:04,839
Speaker 3: us one shair like like a baby, like a child.

1579
01:09:07,960 --> 01:09:09,519
Speaker 1: Well you mentioned John Schuman there.

1580
01:09:10,160 --> 01:09:12,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, we've mentioned about ten times.

1581
01:09:13,960 --> 01:09:15,920
Speaker 1: He's the man who keeps the stats, and he's keeping

1582
01:09:15,920 --> 01:09:18,920
Speaker 1: the stats of the Celtics offense against the Raptor zone,

1583
01:09:18,960 --> 01:09:21,760
Speaker 1: which is getting better as the series goes on. That's

1584
01:09:21,800 --> 01:09:24,880
Speaker 1: what I'm a little worried about for the Raptors. Have

1585
01:09:25,040 --> 01:09:27,519
Speaker 1: the Celtics going to figure out how they figured it out?

1586
01:09:27,520 --> 01:09:30,120
Speaker 1: A little bit? A little bit that uh you know,

1587
01:09:30,160 --> 01:09:34,080
Speaker 1: it's that the zone is it's breakable for teams that

1588
01:09:35,560 --> 01:09:37,160
Speaker 1: they get used to it. I mean, they're good enough,

1589
01:09:37,200 --> 01:09:39,280
Speaker 1: they get used to it. It's more just to throw

1590
01:09:39,360 --> 01:09:42,040
Speaker 1: guys off, to give them a different look. And I

1591
01:09:42,080 --> 01:09:44,120
Speaker 1: just wonder if the Raptors keep going back to it.

1592
01:09:44,120 --> 01:09:46,519
Speaker 1: It works at times. But I'm just a little worried

1593
01:09:46,560 --> 01:09:49,200
Speaker 1: that we're going to get a little bust out moment

1594
01:09:49,240 --> 01:09:52,320
Speaker 1: like we did for the Raptors in game and Game

1595
01:09:52,360 --> 01:09:54,360
Speaker 1: four there in the third quarter where we had those

1596
01:09:54,400 --> 01:09:56,040
Speaker 1: three threes in a row. I think we might get

1597
01:09:56,080 --> 01:09:59,439
Speaker 1: some of that action with Camba fireing back to Tom

1598
01:09:59,520 --> 01:10:02,799
Speaker 1: Fighter firing back, and the rest of the Celtics figuring

1599
01:10:02,840 --> 01:10:06,719
Speaker 1: it out. So I'm worried, but I do agree Skates,

1600
01:10:06,800 --> 01:10:08,559
Speaker 1: there's not gonna be a blowout in this series. These

1601
01:10:08,560 --> 01:10:10,559
Speaker 1: teams fight too hard. So I'm looking forward to Game

1602
01:10:10,600 --> 01:10:12,559
Speaker 1: five as an unobjective objective fan.

1603
01:10:12,840 --> 01:10:15,599
Speaker 3: Nice nice, nice, Okay, let's call it there. And by

1604
01:10:15,600 --> 01:10:17,879
Speaker 3: the way, with that second game you'll get is still questionable,

1605
01:10:17,920 --> 01:10:19,720
Speaker 3: I believe, right, for get three.

1606
01:10:19,600 --> 01:10:22,280
Speaker 1: His wrist with his wrist, he's playing, right.

1607
01:10:23,240 --> 01:10:25,320
Speaker 3: I guess so, yeah, yeah, you would think so, But

1608
01:10:25,360 --> 01:10:27,920
Speaker 3: it's brain wrist. I mean, that's serious. Who knows okay, guys,

Speaker 3: emails your questions and comments. I'll remind you one more
