62
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 3: You're actually doing to combat the water flow problems around the.

63
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 1: I'm on a bit of a hill here. This water

64
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 1: it's like it can turn into a river down here

65
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 1: in my house. It's like the corner point. It just

66
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 1: going both ways. I'm worried about the crawl space, you know,

67
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 1: I gotta put something in here. I'm worried about the cost.

68
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 1: I know it's not gonna be cheap to put those

69
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 1: catch basins in there. And the big old French drained

70
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 1: down the side of the house. We're probably gonna be

71
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 1: five six jeesu, it's gonna be brutal.

72
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,719
Speaker 4: Maybe do you speak French? No?

73
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 1: I don't. Hey, where's my money? Leave house?

74
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 4: Where's my money?

75
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:24,360
Speaker 5: Yeah?

76
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 4: Congratulations, we'll get to that.

77
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 1: We'll get to that. We actually a ton to talk

78
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 1: about here on today's podcast. Let's start with the game,

79
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,040
Speaker 1: though only two on yesterday, which was a nice change.

80
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 1: Jamal Murray scores forty two points. The Nuggets beat the

81
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 1: Jazz one seventeen to one oh seven. In Game five,

82
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,679
Speaker 1: Jazz still lead the series three to two, but Denver

83
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 1: lives to fight another Daily biggest takeaway great.

84
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 4: Game, really good game, really good playoff game, intense and tough,

85
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 4: from the start, and I think Denver, I'm gonna give

86
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 4: them credit because I think for the first time in

87
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 4: this series that you simply played harder for forty eight

88
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 4: minutes and from the start. Jokich came out in that

89
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:00,920
Speaker 4: first quarter, was on fire here twenty one points, had

90
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 4: an incredible shot as the buzzer ended there, but still

91
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 4: it felt like the Jazz were kind of in control.

92
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 4: Given what we've seen so far in this series, that

93
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 4: it was like the Jazz are just going to pull away,

94
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:12,719
Speaker 4: and they sort of started to do that in the

95
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 4: second half. But then, wow, Jamal Murray, Man, what an

96
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 4: incredible run this guy is on right now. Finishes with

97
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:21,279
Speaker 4: forty two points and the thirty three they're in the

98
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,039
Speaker 4: second half and they get the win, which is obviously

99
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,480
Speaker 4: the most important stat here. But I just want to

100
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 4: go over a couple of numbers here. Of his last

101
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:33,279
Speaker 4: two games Sunday, fifty points, zero turnovers and last night

102
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:38,039
Speaker 4: forty two points, zero turnovers, ninety two points, thirty six

103
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 4: field goals, made a fifteen assists since his last turner.

104
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 4: Thanks to Tom Havistro for that. But I mean, he

105
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:47,159
Speaker 4: is just a baller right now, and it's so much

106
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 4: fun to watch this guy out there play. Now, in

107
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 4: three games in this series, he's had an incredible performance

108
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 4: and they've won two of those games. And this is

109
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 4: my concern going forward with Denver still that even though

110
00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:00,280
Speaker 4: they're still alive, they had such a reliance on their

111
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 4: two stars, Jokich and Jamal Murray. Now they delivered yesterday

112
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 4: and they got the win, but outside of those two guys,

113
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 4: they're not getting anywhere near the significant production that the

114
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 4: Jazz are getting from their role players. And it feels

115
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 4: to me that it takes this miraculous effort from Jamal

116
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 4: Murray just to keep them firstly in the game and

117
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:19,480
Speaker 4: then when it's close down the stretch like that, it

118
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 4: can go either way. And Murray was just so hot

119
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 4: that they ended up winning this game. But I still

120
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 4: feel pretty good for Utah for the remainder of the series.

121
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 4: I think they probably close it out in six games

122
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 4: just because they have been the better team and they've

123
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 4: shown that. But as far in terms of one game

124
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 4: in a nutshell there, that was just an incredibly fun

125
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 4: game to watch. But Denver to me still just papering

126
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:42,720
Speaker 4: over the cracks a little bit too much, because the

127
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 4: second half Murray and Yokich didn't sub out, and that

128
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:48,159
Speaker 4: just sort of shows you that Michael Malone basically is

129
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,599
Speaker 4: like these two guys are our ballers and they can play.

130
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 4: Everyone else is kind of interchangeable. You're just hoping to

131
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,039
Speaker 4: get something from those guys, and you get a little

132
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 4: bit from Jeremy Grant. Michael Porter was o kay yesterday.

133
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 4: I mean, you didn't have a lot of fight in

134
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:05,280
Speaker 4: him because of his defensive efforts out there, but just

135
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 4: an incredible gang from Jamal Mayra to keep his team alive.

136
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 4: But I wonder if it's really just delaying the inevitable.

137
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, but the good thing was the Nuggets did play

138
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 1: some defense. There were stretches, There were stretches. I tweeted

139
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 1: this where it was like it felt like the first

140
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 1: time all series long tasks that the Nuggets actually strung together.

141
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 1: You know, three or four decent defensive possessions where guys

142
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 1: were hustling and there was some rotation and they were

143
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 1: getting the ball out of Mitchell's hands and making other

144
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 1: guys beat them. And that was enough. I mean, Jamal

145
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 1: Murray said it, I can put the ball in the hoop,

146
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 1: but I can't do this without everyone. I think what

147
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 1: he means there is, don't worry about offense. I got

148
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 1: us there. You'll get you were nice, you were hitting

149
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 1: a those trees and the first reverse Paul George, Yeah, exactly.

150
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 1: I'll get us there offensively, but we just got to

151
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 1: play some defense, put a few stops together to get

152
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 1: back into that game, and then I'll take over from there.

153
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 1: But task, Yeah, what did you think of the Nuggets?

154
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 1: At least again they didn't go down without a fight.

155
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 1: Jamal Murray was, you know, even refused to let this

156
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 1: go home. Really, I mean, if he doesn't have this performance,

157
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 1: they're losing this game because it was still that close.

158
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 1: But he's just unconscious there in the second half.

159
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, And I think it just shows the benefit of

160
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 5: having somebody else other than your center as your best

161
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 5: offensive player, because your center is going to be dragged defensively.

162
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 5: He's got to do so much and that shows that

163
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 5: the first half, Nikolijokic was great offensively, but they gave

164
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 5: up sixty three points. They didn't play great defense. For

165
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 5: the first half. The Jazz got whatever they wanted, but

166
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 5: in the third quarter, nikoli Jokich took a step back offensively,

167
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:37,679
Speaker 5: didn't score a point, but was all in defensively, and

168
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:39,840
Speaker 5: that's when they slowed down the Jazz and Jamal Murray

169
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 5: could take over. And it just shows throughout the league

170
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 5: it's tough to be as a center doing so much

171
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 5: defensively and offensively. So yeah, they stepped up in the

172
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 5: second half. Jamal Murray his third of five games where

173
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 5: he has been amazing, and so you know, it doesn't

174
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 5: bode well that he's going to have another two in

175
00:08:56,280 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 5: a row, but they desperately need it, and they got great,

176
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 5: great contributions from a guy like PJ. Doser, who a

177
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 5: G League hero, has stepped in. They've been they've been

178
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 5: looking for somebody to replace Gary Harris, Michael Porter has

179
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 5: taken a bit of a step back. So Jamal Murray

180
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:17,319
Speaker 5: a monster, and he outdid Donovan Mitchell, who had guys

181
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 5: in his face for the second half. It was just

182
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:24,080
Speaker 5: it was very different for Donovan Mitchell to see a

183
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 5: guard in front of him. And then Nikola Jokicic who

184
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 5: only really had to concentrate on defense, you know, and

185
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,839
Speaker 5: chipped in but offensively, but was able to just give

186
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 5: the ball to Jamal Murray. And so that's a big difference.

187
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 5: I think for Jokich, it's even as skinny as he is,

188
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 5: as much weight as he's lost. It's a tall, tall

189
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:43,320
Speaker 5: task for him to do it on both ends. So

190
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:45,320
Speaker 5: you know, kudos to Jamal. It is a blast and

191
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 5: he took some tough, tough shots.

192
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, special incredible he when he's got it going.

193
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 1: I mean, there are a few guys in the league

194
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 1: has fun to watch. Trey Well.

195
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 3: I don't know if I would go that far Skats,

196
00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,080
Speaker 3: He's maybe like number fifteen on my list, But that

197
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 3: just tells you where the end is at this point

198
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,320
Speaker 3: that Jamal Murray is like a top twenty five player,

199
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 3: and he would have been the best player in nineteen

200
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 3: eighty five, maybe outside of Michael Jordan. It's crazy to watch.

201
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:09,680
Speaker 3: Though it looked like he was going out of the

202
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:11,200
Speaker 3: game with an injury. Then the next thing you know,

203
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 3: he's splitting traps and doing a three sixty layup finishing

204
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 3: with the wrong hand on the left side of the basket.

205
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 1: No problem.

206
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 3: That was one of the smoothest looking moves we've seen

207
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 3: down there in the bubble. But Murray scored thirty three

208
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 3: in the second half, and the entire Utah Jazz team

209
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:27,839
Speaker 3: scored forty four. That's the story of the game right there.

210
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 3: They locked down on defense and Murray really took over.

211
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 3: Like you guys are saying it's hard for a center,

212
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna put it on Jokic not being aggressive.

213
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put it on the guards man.

214
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:38,560
Speaker 3: Every big guy knows that the guards never pass you

215
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:40,079
Speaker 3: the ball at the end of the game because it's

216
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 3: hard to get the ball down in there. What do

217
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:43,679
Speaker 3: you want Yogitz bringing the ball up, Nah, give it

218
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 3: to Murray. He's gonna shake and bake. He's gonna shoot

219
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:49,080
Speaker 3: his little floaters. And when he's on the floaters they

220
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:51,560
Speaker 3: still look as awkward as they do when he's off.

221
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 3: But the bank shots money. He was hitting some tough

222
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 3: ones that he just it almost feels like you don't

223
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 3: expect him to shoot the ball when he's going to

224
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 3: pull there but it's open, and you just don't expect

225
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:03,319
Speaker 3: the one foot runner from seventeen foot when it's going.

226
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 1: It looks great.

227
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:05,840
Speaker 3: It can look bad when he's not on fire, but

228
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:08,559
Speaker 3: last night that wasn't the case, and the defense was great.

229
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 3: Doser really helped coming in.

230
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:10,719
Speaker 2: No.

231
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 3: Paul Millsap really helped, and I think that the Nuggets

232
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 3: were helped a little bit by the Jazz thinking they

233
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 3: were home. They had a nice lead there in the

234
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 3: third quarter, and then it kind of stopped attacking. Michael

235
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:23,960
Speaker 3: Porter Junior. Porter eventually went out and surprise, surprise, the

236
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 3: defense got a lot better for Denver.

237
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 1: What was the better play in this game? I'll give

238
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:31,679
Speaker 1: you three to pick from Jokich's crazy three at the

239
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 1: end of the first quarter, Mitchell's dunk on Michael Porter Junior,

240
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 1: which was huge, or Murray's three sixty layup around go barely?

241
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 1: Which one do you go with what you got?

242
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 4: Well, it's down to the three sixty. Oh the yo

243
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 4: kids shot for me because jokis just off the wrong

244
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:48,960
Speaker 4: foot like that coming down at the end of the quarter.

245
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,719
Speaker 4: I think he was five for five from five to

246
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 4: five in the quarter. Then he hit that to go

247
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 4: six for six. Maury's was spectacular, But I'm gonna go

248
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 4: I'm gonna go Jokich just because it was unexpected. I

249
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:01,679
Speaker 4: guess the why that he just sort of he comes down.

250
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 4: It is like he is confused which foot he's supposed

251
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 4: to jump off, but he just let it fly. It

252
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:08,200
Speaker 4: went so high in the air, and he was complaining

253
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 4: that he didn't get a foul call on it as well.

254
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 4: He wanted the full point play, So I'll take yok o'kay, I'm.

255
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 1: Going Murray, come on, I mean too, Yeah, you can

256
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 1: say Homer all you want. Like Trey said it, that's

257
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:23,560
Speaker 1: the smoothest play we've seen all the entire bubble. That

258
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:26,720
Speaker 1: was unbelievable. Yeah, and how he finished too little jelly

259
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 1: to it. I mean, guy, he's a fun He is

260
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:30,839
Speaker 1: really fun when he's locked in, and he has been

261
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 1: locked in for a good chunk of this series. Can

262
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,679
Speaker 1: he do it for game six and then possibly a

263
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 1: game seven? I mean geez, I don't know. But he

264
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 1: was just straight up like two minutes ago, he just

265
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 1: isoed on Donovan Mitchell, like this is why this series

266
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 1: is hilariously fun. It's like, all right, here we go.

267
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 1: It's like feels like like Rucker Park or something, or

268
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 1: like Venice Beach, Like it's like we need somebody on

269
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 1: the mic, like dropping the old baby baby, because that's

270
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 1: what it feels like. He's like, all right, here we go,

271
00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 1: let's see you see if you can break him down.

272
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 1: He isoed on Mitchell. He stopped on a dime with

273
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 1: like that behind the back dribble, hit the jumper, and

274
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 1: then you know, not long after, like a minute and

275
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:08,679
Speaker 1: a half to go, Royce is on him, Royce O'Neil

276
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 1: now and he got to the exact same spot after

277
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 1: a nice little like crossover drive out him created enough

278
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 1: room just to get that that jumper, that little step

279
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:17,960
Speaker 1: back jumper to go, and then he did set up

280
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 1: yo kicen in the cornering corner really late. Yokic did

281
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:22,560
Speaker 1: score in the second half. It was just like in

282
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:25,959
Speaker 1: the final whatever thirty seconds, but he knocked him down. Yeah,

283
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 1: super fun. I just I'm doubtful he can do it again,

284
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 1: like you said, lee for another game and then maybe

285
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 1: another game on that, because he's gonna have to.

286
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:35,959
Speaker 4: Well, I wouldn't be surprised if he does it, it's

287
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:39,079
Speaker 4: just whether or not. Then sure themselves defensively and get

288
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:42,200
Speaker 4: any sort of contribution from anybody else, because Maury's a bullet.

289
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:44,199
Speaker 4: But I wanted to ask you guys, is let's let's

290
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:47,720
Speaker 4: let's make one of these stupid questions. Who would you

291
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 4: if you had to pick one guy who you're building

292
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:52,559
Speaker 4: your franchise around. Jamal Mario, Donovan Mitchell. What what you

293
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 4: got Mitchell?

294
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 1: I think I even go Mitch far and I am smart,

295
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 1: gigantic Murray fan. As I've said many times, he's the

296
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 1: least Canadian Canadian of all time, and I'm here for

297
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,320
Speaker 1: it because he's unapologetic. He's wired like an American and

298
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:11,960
Speaker 1: I love it. Yeah, but I go Donovan Mitchell still too, Murray,

299
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:12,720
Speaker 1: I think Mitchell.

300
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:15,880
Speaker 4: I think Mitchell today is still his complete body of

301
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 4: work is still better than Maury's. But Murray can sort

302
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:20,880
Speaker 4: of kick this up for a season. I think it's uh,

303
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 4: it's old Donovan Mitchell.

304
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 1: How old is see?

305
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 5: I know, twenty three In a lot of days, he's

306
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 5: almost twenty four.

307
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 1: Okay, so they're pretty close in age.

308
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 5: I guess, yeah, yeah, yeah, Well you.

309
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 1: Can't go wrong maybe with either of them. They're fun

310
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 1: to watch. And you're right. I thought it was over.

311
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 1: I thought the series was over. I mean, as great

312
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 1: as yok was early, the Jazz for all series long

313
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 1: have dominated the third quarter, and they had to lead

314
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 1: at the half, and then they built it up at

315
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 1: the start of the third Qors. I'm like, well, that's

316
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 1: a rap. I mean, it's a fifteen point game. The

317
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 1: Nuggets are gonna like, Okay, we're done in this place.

318
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 1: Let's just go home. And then yeah, they finally got

319
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 1: a few stops going, and then Jamal caught fire and

320
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 1: they actually won the third quarter and they kept the

321
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:04,640
Speaker 1: Jazz to a very respectable like twenty three points, and

322
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 1: then they were suddenly back in this game. But yeah,

323
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 1: I thought for sure they were done. I don't know

324
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 1: about you guys. Watching this one, I was like, all right,

325
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 1: well this series is over. Let's start looking ahead to

326
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 1: who they're gonna play, the Utah Jazz. But it's still

327
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 1: potentially a series. I mean, you wonder is the pressure

328
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 1: on the Jazz now to win Game six, even though

329
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 1: there's no home court advantage and stuff like that. Are

330
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 1: you saying it's a must win game for the Jazz?

331
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 6: I don't know.

332
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,680
Speaker 1: It kind of oddly feels like it might be, but

333
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 1: it's so silly because again, there's no home court. You're

334
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 1: not going back to play in the altitude there in

335
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 1: ten for a game seven, So I don't know. I

336
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 1: guess it sort of feels that way to me, and yeah,

337
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 1: it could happen. I don't know.

338
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 3: Well, the thing is that neither of these teams is

339
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 3: super consistent, right, And that's kind of been the shock,

340
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 3: is that the Jazz looks pretty consistent through the first

341
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 3: four games and the first three quarters of this one.

342
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 3: They just didn't do it in the fourth quarter of

343
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 3: Game five. It's also very strange to be watching this

344
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 3: game at like seven o'clock because both of these teams

345
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 3: are in mountain times, so you're thinking, wow, this is

346
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 3: a this is an early game for them. Oh wait, no, no, no, no,

347
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 3: they're just in Orlando playing basketball like they have been

348
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 3: for the past couple of months. Is it a must

349
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:10,400
Speaker 3: win in Game six? Yeah, you don't want to go

350
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 3: to a game seven. Jamal Murray's got a Game seven

351
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:13,360
Speaker 3: winning under his belt.

352
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 1: Ooh, you know a little more experience than the game

353
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 1: sevens because they had two of them last year. You're

354
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 1: not wrong. Jordan Clarkson too, for the Jazz, played really

355
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:23,880
Speaker 1: well in the first half and then couldn't hit a

356
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 1: shot in the second half. That was a big part

357
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:27,160
Speaker 1: of this game too, because he was rolling in the

358
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 1: first quarter, first half, excuse me. And then he's been

359
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 1: good for a lot of this series, been credible off

360
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 1: the bench. But you know he's that's Jordan Clarkson. I think,

361
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 1: I like, you know, you're asking a lot if you

362
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 1: need him to try and score your twenty five every game.

363
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 1: He's going to have his moments. But he went ice cool.

364
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 1: He was just missing some shots and he's going to

365
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 1: keep shooting him. That's on Clarkson. He's going to keep

366
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 1: shooting him. But luckily for the Nuggets, he missed. Anything

367
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 1: else to add to this one.

368
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 5: I just want to see how Denver comes out in

369
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 5: the first half of Game number six, because they save

370
00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 5: their season with their backs against the wall when they

371
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 5: came out of the locker room, not in the first half,

372
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:05,120
Speaker 5: but in the second half. That's that's what happened. They

373
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 5: really just save their ass when it was absolutely against

374
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:10,720
Speaker 5: the wall. They've got to do it for a full game,

375
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 5: and so I'm not really inspired by them coming out

376
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 5: when they see only twenty four minutes on the clock

377
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:17,960
Speaker 5: or we're going home. It's going to be tough, I

378
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 5: think for them to do it another two games. I

379
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 5: just don't believe in that defense. And yeah, so Clarkson

380
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:26,919
Speaker 5: and Donovin Mitchell saw some more bodies at them, but

381
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:32,120
Speaker 5: I think they responded pretty well. And I think they'll

382
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 5: handle it pretty well going into the next game with Utah.

383
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 5: I think the pressure is more on Denver to respond

384
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:40,639
Speaker 5: again than it is on Utah to come out and score.

385
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 5: I think Utah will be absolutely fine. The way they've been,

386
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:46,919
Speaker 5: they've handled themselves here through through five games. I am

387
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 5: a little worried about Royce O'Neill having the yips, you know,

388
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:55,040
Speaker 5: their perimeter player that gets the ball in the fourth quarter,

389
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 5: because it's going to get swung out of Donovan Mitchell's

390
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 5: or Jordan Clarkson's hands if they pressure the way they pressured,

391
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 5: and I assume that'll be the game plan. Russell Neil's

392
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 5: got to shoot. It can't be Ricky and Kiel out there.

393
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:08,959
Speaker 5: Just let her fly, man, let her rip. You need

394
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 5: just at least to shoot because he can't shoot, and

395
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 5: he's been pretty confident all the way up until the

396
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 5: end of game five. I don't know what happened there.

397
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:16,639
Speaker 5: He just stopped shooting.

398
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 1: There's that one play where he got the travel right

399
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:20,680
Speaker 1: because he was like, yeah, didn't want to shoot it

400
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:21,720
Speaker 1: and he didn't know what he was going to do

401
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:23,639
Speaker 1: with it, and they're like, all right, you're dragging your

402
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 1: feet all over the place. Man, that's the travel. Yeah,

403
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:28,480
Speaker 1: and watch for how aggressive Yokich is again in game six.

404
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:30,440
Speaker 1: I mean that's the thing he was from the jump

405
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:33,640
Speaker 1: in this one, you know, letting it fly, knocking them down.

406
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:36,359
Speaker 1: He's got to do that. I mean, he's as he

407
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 1: can put Gobert underneath the basket because of his size. Still,

408
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:42,159
Speaker 1: but Goberry, I'm gonna get out there and challenge those shots.

409
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:44,880
Speaker 1: I mean, he's They're gonna live with that. So Yokicic

410
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:46,879
Speaker 1: has to be aggressive with the three pointer again, I

411
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 1: think early in this to at least try and keep

412
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 1: it close enough. And of course they've got to pair

413
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 1: that with a little bit of defense to maybe give

414
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:55,359
Speaker 1: us a Game seven. We want some Game sevens in

415
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 1: the first round, right, I guess we're sort of cheering

416
00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 1: for the Nuggets in a game six, I know, yea, yeah,

417
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:02,880
Speaker 1: that Game seven is always fun. We're going to Game seven, baby,

418
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:04,760
Speaker 1: we can play that drop. You know, everybody loves that,

419
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:07,920
Speaker 1: all right? Moving on here. The other game yesterday, Clippers

420
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:11,440
Speaker 1: roll past the Mavericks one fifty four to one eleven

421
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:14,959
Speaker 1: to take the three to two series lead. Task one

422
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:17,880
Speaker 1: fifty four to one eleven. This was a beat down.

423
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:21,440
Speaker 5: What a show. Paul George came out and forced it

424
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 5: a little bit. He went to his shots and those

425
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:28,359
Speaker 5: shots went down. Pandemic Pe became playoff p thirty five points.

426
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:31,080
Speaker 5: And we'll get to your bet in a second here,

427
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:34,680
Speaker 5: But I think we've sort of all been overlooking Kawhi's performance.

428
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 5: Kawhi has been the best player in the playoffs. He's

429
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 5: been ridiculously consistent and a huge reason why I think

430
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 5: the Clippers should still be the championship favorites. He had

431
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 5: thirty two in this one, twenty two in the first half.

432
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:50,239
Speaker 5: He was an angry fella. He has scored twenty nine,

433
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 5: thirty five, thirty six, then back to back thirty Two's

434
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:58,360
Speaker 5: ridiculously consistent, ridiculously efficient. He's a robot on both ends.

435
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:01,920
Speaker 5: And he's been great on the defensive end too, And

436
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:04,160
Speaker 5: we've sort of just been overlooking it because Luca has

437
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 5: been great. But he had that great steal there at

438
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 5: the end of the third quarter that's been going around

439
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:13,040
Speaker 5: off of Boban and he passed it to Reggie Jackson

440
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:16,439
Speaker 5: on the offensive end. Reggie misses, and then you can

441
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:18,560
Speaker 5: see Kawhi, I didn't give the ball up for that

442
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:22,119
Speaker 5: shit because it was a bad pass and Kawhi is

443
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:25,520
Speaker 5: locked in and it shows you, Yeah, this, when this

444
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:28,600
Speaker 5: team is locked in, they can put up those you know,

445
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 5: Bill fifties. It's a ridiculous number to see, but they

446
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:33,760
Speaker 5: put up that many points. And I think the other

447
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 5: thing that this Clippers team has is that nastiness I

448
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:40,760
Speaker 5: mentioned after the Game three, and I want to get

449
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:43,639
Speaker 5: your guys opinion on this. I like when Doc Rivers

450
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:47,160
Speaker 5: teams are nasty to a point because I think that's

451
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 5: when they win, they're at their best. Doc Rivers wants

452
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 5: a couple guys on his team, like Draymond Green and

453
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 5: Golden State, to be a little feisty. He's got a

454
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:59,240
Speaker 5: number of them, Patrick Beverly, Montrez Harrell and Marcus Morris

455
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 5: who been who've been a little feisty throughout this series.

456
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 5: And Marcus Morris has been dragged through the Twitter mud

457
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 5: because he apparently stepped on Luka Doncic's ankle on purpose

458
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:14,399
Speaker 5: and the video going around and around on Twitter. I

459
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:16,680
Speaker 5: honestly think that he did go and try and get

460
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:17,719
Speaker 5: his ankle on purpose.

461
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 1: WHOA he says he didn't task he says, how dare you?

462
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:24,240
Speaker 5: Yeah? I watched the footage over and over and over again,

463
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:28,159
Speaker 5: and Luca is getting the ball from an inbound and

464
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:31,200
Speaker 5: it's just you know, standard inbound under his own hoop

465
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:35,120
Speaker 5: after a bucket, and Marcus Morris flies across the court

466
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:38,640
Speaker 5: and almost does a euro step to step on Luka

467
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 5: Doncic's ankle, and I think that's the whole there's a

468
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:46,200
Speaker 5: plan there, and that's to be a little nasty with Luca. Luca,

469
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:49,680
Speaker 5: you know, shook it off and was fine, although he's

470
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:53,120
Speaker 5: obviously hobbled. But let me know what you guys think.

471
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 5: Do you think Marcus Morris did on purpose? Because from

472
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:59,639
Speaker 5: my perspective, he did, and and that's, you know, as

473
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:02,680
Speaker 5: close as we can get to a Detroit Piston's bad

474
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:05,479
Speaker 5: Boys here in the twenty twenties. That we're not going

475
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:07,200
Speaker 5: to get anywhere close. But I think the Clippers, with

476
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 5: the nastiness level, the way they talk, it's probably the

477
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 5: closest we're going to get. And Marcus Morris does have

478
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:17,760
Speaker 5: a reputation for being a little bit aggressive, and I

479
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:19,639
Speaker 5: think he was just a little bit aggressive there, and

480
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:23,160
Speaker 5: that's not outside of the sort of the unwritten rules

481
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 5: of basketball. In the history of basketball, but it was intentional.

482
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:28,720
Speaker 1: I don't know. I agree, I don't know if he

483
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:30,680
Speaker 1: did it intentionally. Go ahead, Trey, I think that was

484
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:33,159
Speaker 1: And you're right, task. The Clippers talk like they're the

485
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 1: bad boys, but Marcus Morris walks the walk like he's

486
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 1: a bad boy.

487
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:37,679
Speaker 3: He's the kind of guy that would step on your

488
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 3: ankle if he knows it's hurt. And that's probably why

489
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 3: they brought him to bring a little bit more toughness.

490
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:45,120
Speaker 3: We saw it in Game one basically getting Kristaps ejected,

491
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:48,160
Speaker 3: so I'm not surprised. I'm not really going to give

492
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:50,200
Speaker 3: a Morris brother the benefit of the doubt on this one.

493
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:52,000
Speaker 3: They're starting fights with everybody.

494
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:55,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, intentionally or unintentionally. I think it is safe to

495
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:57,400
Speaker 1: say the Clippers are the villains here of the NBA

496
00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:01,160
Speaker 1: bubble now. They've leaned all into that. You just saw people,

497
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:03,880
Speaker 1: you know, despite them winning this game huge and Kawhi

498
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:07,000
Speaker 1: being that robotic, you know, killer and Paul George playoff

499
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 1: pe having the bounce back performance, people just hate a

500
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:12,680
Speaker 1: lot of people hate the Clippers because it feels like

501
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:15,639
Speaker 1: they have this sense of entitlement and they haven't won

502
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 1: collectively anything yet, but they sort of carry themselves like

503
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 1: like you're saying, like the bad boys, like the team

504
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:23,879
Speaker 1: like that is that are the champs already, and that

505
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:27,680
Speaker 1: rubs people a lot the wrong way. I love it.

506
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:29,680
Speaker 1: I love having a team that everybody hates. It makes

507
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:31,800
Speaker 1: things way more exciting. But there are a lot of

508
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:33,679
Speaker 1: guys who went through them all that are not afraid

509
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 1: to obviously be barking on the sidelines, maybe playing on

510
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:38,960
Speaker 1: a little more dirty than some of the other teams will.

511
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:41,920
Speaker 1: But I don't know. I love it. I love it

512
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:44,359
Speaker 1: for the narrative standpoint, I'll tell you that. And these

513
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:46,400
Speaker 1: teams hate each other. They're officially tired of each other,

514
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:48,399
Speaker 1: I mean, which I love in a playoff series too.

515
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 1: You get to game five or six and it's been close,

516
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:54,560
Speaker 1: and you know it's been chippy at times already, and

517
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:56,359
Speaker 1: then you get that far in and I's like, okay,

518
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 1: I'm tired of playing you.

519
00:23:57,400 --> 00:23:58,080
Speaker 5: I hate you now.

520
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:00,640
Speaker 1: And Rick Carlisle ejected in this one, you know again,

521
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:03,680
Speaker 1: a testy game. We had six technicals overall. The flagrant

522
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:05,960
Speaker 1: foul that was Tim Hardaway Junior winding up and popping

523
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,200
Speaker 1: PG in the face or of in the head on

524
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:10,760
Speaker 1: a drive Morris with this stepping thing. Yeah, they hate

525
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:12,399
Speaker 1: each other, they're tired of each other. I love it,

526
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:15,160
Speaker 1: but uh, I don't know. I don't know about Morris.

527
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:17,399
Speaker 1: I see what you guys are saying when you watch it.

528
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:20,119
Speaker 1: It's a weird step. It's a weird step where he is.

529
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 1: He just a sort of a bigger guy being a

530
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:24,320
Speaker 1: little clumsy and not knowing where Lucas is the same

531
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:26,440
Speaker 1: size as Luca Well, yeah, I mean big in the sense. Yeah,

532
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:27,240
Speaker 1: you're right, he's not a bowld.

533
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:27,560
Speaker 3: I don't know.

534
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:29,000
Speaker 1: The Clippers are a little annoying.

535
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:30,719
Speaker 3: All of their trash talk is coming from guys who

536
00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 3: are on the bench, and most of it's coming from

537
00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:34,680
Speaker 3: Patrick Beverly, who's not even playing in this series. But

538
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:37,119
Speaker 3: on the flip side, there's no fans there. Somebody's got

539
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:39,280
Speaker 3: to get this team fired. Yeah, so you guys got

540
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:41,119
Speaker 3: to bring a little bit of energy when you're on

541
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:43,120
Speaker 3: the bench. But you know, it'd be nice to see

542
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:45,480
Speaker 3: Beverly actually step on the court and then back up

543
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:48,760
Speaker 3: his trash talk. And you know, Marcus Morris, I don't know, man,

544
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:51,200
Speaker 3: He's got an entire half of a basketball court. He

545
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:53,119
Speaker 3: could have stepped anywhere and he ended up stepping on

546
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:54,920
Speaker 3: the injured guy's injured ankle.

547
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:57,360
Speaker 1: Come on, okay, But then I will say, I will

548
00:24:57,400 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 1: say he does feel like the type of guy if

549
00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 1: he did it intention that he would own it. I

550
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:03,440
Speaker 1: don't know, I get that vibe from him. He would

551
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:05,720
Speaker 1: say after the game. Yeah, he's out there with a

552
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:08,640
Speaker 1: you know, a tweaked ankle, let's put it to the test,

553
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:10,399
Speaker 1: or like he would even play it like dumb a

554
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:12,440
Speaker 1: little bit, like I don't know. Maybe I did, maybe

555
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:14,760
Speaker 1: I didn't, but he leaned into like I didn't mean

556
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 1: to do it. I didn't intentionally mean to step on him.

557
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:18,720
Speaker 1: So okay, I think whatever you think, that's all, that's

558
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:19,159
Speaker 1: all I does.

559
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:21,120
Speaker 3: Well it's a fair point, but he probably also doesn't

560
00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 3: want to get suspended for a playoff game, so you're

561
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:26,680
Speaker 3: gonna you're gonna back yourself. But I also feel like

562
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 3: this is a place where the in arena DJs could

563
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:30,640
Speaker 3: be a little bit better, because, like you're saying, we've

564
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:32,800
Speaker 3: had a lot of tense moments between these two teams.

565
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:36,560
Speaker 3: They've gone even close to getting close to forehead to forehead.

566
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:38,800
Speaker 3: This is when the in arena dj needs to pipe

567
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:40,200
Speaker 3: in the booze because that's what you would hear in

568
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:42,639
Speaker 3: a playoff game, right, Like if Marcus Morris steps on

569
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:46,239
Speaker 3: Luca Doncis's ankle in Dallas, the crowd's going crazy at him.

570
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:48,359
Speaker 1: We need to hear those booze pipe in the booze.

571
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:49,960
Speaker 3: I don't think the players are going to be offended

572
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:53,560
Speaker 3: that a DJ is playing booze for them, even though

573
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:57,399
Speaker 3: last there, well, okay, fair enough, but I mean they

574
00:25:57,400 --> 00:25:59,359
Speaker 3: did it. You know in game four was when the

575
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:01,639
Speaker 3: forehead to four had arms went down. There are times

576
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 3: when you could you can beef up the atmosphere, no

577
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:04,920
Speaker 3: doubt about it.

578
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:07,440
Speaker 1: Think about it, well, well.

579
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:09,280
Speaker 4: The thing is, often when a player has got an injury,

580
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:11,480
Speaker 4: the other team does go after it, sometimes you know,

581
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:14,320
Speaker 4: in a subtle way. So that's not completely uncommon. But

582
00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:18,240
Speaker 4: I also think that the Clippers probably have underestimated Luka Doncic.

583
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:20,360
Speaker 4: The fact that the series is now even three two,

584
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:23,639
Speaker 4: I think has sort of got the Clippers to focus

585
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 4: a little more because I think when they saw they

586
00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:28,119
Speaker 4: came into this series and you know, they have got

587
00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:29,960
Speaker 4: the better defense, and they've got a you know, well

588
00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:31,720
Speaker 4: not a better offense, but they've got more weapons. I

589
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:34,399
Speaker 4: guess overall, the Clippers probably thought we're going to win

590
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:36,600
Speaker 4: this series in four or five games, but that that

591
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 4: game four win that made it too too. I think

592
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:40,560
Speaker 4: that really sort of shook the Clippers up. And they

593
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 4: came out and this one so focused and so determined

594
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 4: to say, you know, especially with no pausingers, like we

595
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:47,480
Speaker 4: don't want to get to that position again with Doncic

596
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:49,560
Speaker 4: and I mean, he's been so good. I think the

597
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:51,320
Speaker 4: Clippers are trying to make it like send a little

598
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:53,760
Speaker 4: message to say, like, you know, we want to hurt

599
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:54,959
Speaker 4: this guy, we want to beat him up. We want

600
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:56,160
Speaker 4: him to know what it's like to be in the players.

601
00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:59,480
Speaker 4: So without doing anything you know, completely dirty or illegal,

602
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:01,480
Speaker 4: but those little sort of niggly things that you do,

603
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 4: I mean that that's kind of what happens in the playoffs.

604
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 4: So and Morris is there for that reason in a

605
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 4: lot of ways as well, Like he's the sort of

606
00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:11,399
Speaker 4: guy who's out there who's gonna, you know, throw a

607
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:13,520
Speaker 4: few bumps and bruises around and try to get the

608
00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:14,480
Speaker 4: other guys off their game.

609
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 1: So it's but he intentionally stepped on Luca's ankle foot?

610
00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:21,879
Speaker 1: Is that dirty? I mean, do you believe that's crossing

611
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:23,800
Speaker 1: the line. I mean like a guy going in for

612
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:25,480
Speaker 1: a layup and you know you're putting a little bit

613
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:27,920
Speaker 1: more into the foul. I mean, it's not it is different.

614
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:31,680
Speaker 4: I mean, it's certainly approaching that dirty territory if he

615
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:33,359
Speaker 4: goes over and just boots him, of course that that

616
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:35,440
Speaker 4: clearly is. But at the same time as well, you

617
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:37,720
Speaker 4: sometimes just want to remind the guy, hey, we know

618
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:39,879
Speaker 4: your ankle's hurting, like we well, we're coming close to it.

619
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 4: You know, it's all that the mental game that you're

620
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:45,520
Speaker 4: playing with teams. So again, I don't you know, it's

621
00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:47,639
Speaker 4: different if you see a guy just like lay another

622
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:50,159
Speaker 4: guy out. That's that's completely dirty. But a little bit

623
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:51,920
Speaker 4: of like, hey, how's that ankle, man, how's that ankle?

624
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:53,120
Speaker 4: You know, just sort of testing it out.

625
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:55,119
Speaker 1: It's it's okay.

626
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:57,240
Speaker 4: I mean, that's what happens in the playoffs. Everyone's trying

627
00:27:57,280 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 4: to win, everyone's trying to compete, and you know those

628
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:01,040
Speaker 4: are those are the sorts of things that happened.

629
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, there's no doubt Luca thinks he did

630
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 1: it intentionally. If you saw his comments after the game,

631
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:08,920
Speaker 1: without saying so as much he's saying, I hope he didn't.

632
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:11,679
Speaker 4: But you know, yeah, that's those sorts of response as

633
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:13,640
Speaker 4: a standard Morris. I didn't do it on purpose, Luca,

634
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:16,919
Speaker 4: Yes you did. I mean that they that's exactly what happens.

635
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:19,159
Speaker 4: You know, the person who's accused of it, nah, what

636
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:21,600
Speaker 4: are you crazy? And the person who gets hits like

637
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:24,520
Speaker 4: you absolutely did, like because you know, these athletes don't

638
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:26,840
Speaker 4: clumsily just all of a sudden put my foot near

639
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:27,400
Speaker 4: your foot.

640
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:28,960
Speaker 1: I mean there's you know, they.

641
00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:30,040
Speaker 4: Know exactly what they're doing.

642
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:30,360
Speaker 5: Yeah.

643
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:31,960
Speaker 1: The other thing I would add to that, and Lucas said,

644
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:34,119
Speaker 1: this is like he was talking junk all game, right,

645
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:36,360
Speaker 1: he's talking trash all game. I mean he's not being

646
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:38,960
Speaker 1: polite all game. And then suddenly now my ankle is

647
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 1: being stepped on.

648
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 2: Yeah.

649
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:41,719
Speaker 1: You can't put you know, you know, two and two

650
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:44,040
Speaker 1: together there. Maybe Yeah, we'll see so playoff p though,

651
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:47,200
Speaker 1: Let's give him some credit here. Yeah, like the game

652
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:48,680
Speaker 1: was over in the first quarter, tast I mean, the

653
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:50,640
Speaker 1: Clippers went on a thirty two to six run in

654
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 1: the final eight to thirty of the quarter.

655
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:56,000
Speaker 5: They came back from twenty one points in game number four. Yeah,

656
00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 5: but especially I felt Obviously it felt different because they

657
00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:01,720
Speaker 5: didn't give up that lead. That's for sure. It was abomination.

658
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:05,120
Speaker 1: Do you think they played Luca a little bit differently too, defensively,

659
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:07,800
Speaker 1: like in throwing more guys at him and trying to

660
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:10,360
Speaker 1: obviously get a little more physical with them, like or like,

661
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:12,120
Speaker 1: what what was your take on that? Because some people

662
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:14,640
Speaker 1: were saying, well, well, nothing changed, it was just Luca

663
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:16,480
Speaker 1: missing shots or whatever. What's your take on that.

664
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 5: They made sure they got their good guys on him

665
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:23,240
Speaker 5: a little less, Reggie a little more Kawhi, Marcus, Paul George, Right,

666
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:26,080
Speaker 5: And I think that was the important part. And Doc

667
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:28,080
Speaker 5: Rivers had said it after game four, we have not

668
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:32,880
Speaker 5: executed against Lebron Lebron. I called him Lebron, Luca Lebron. Yeah,

669
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:35,480
Speaker 5: he's entering that stratosphere for that Quinte. But yeah, he

670
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:39,960
Speaker 5: is entering that that conversation. Is he at the table anyway? Yes,

671
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:42,360
Speaker 5: I think they just got their good guys on him.

672
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:45,360
Speaker 5: I think that was the number one priority and and

673
00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:49,440
Speaker 5: it helped for sure. And also the adrenaline of Game

674
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 5: four had subsided for Luca. You know, that was it

675
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:55,720
Speaker 5: was an incredible performance. Kris STAPs doesn't come back again,

676
00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 5: so you could expect a bit of a you know,

677
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:03,480
Speaker 5: the deflating performance from them. And Kawhi got his fresh

678
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:06,920
Speaker 5: straight backs hair do, and you know, just watch Kawhi

679
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:08,920
Speaker 5: Leonard he comes out of the locker room with his

680
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:12,760
Speaker 5: fresh straight backs. If you got those those locks tightened up,

681
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:16,360
Speaker 5: as Kayla Gray said, he's ready. The guy is ready.

682
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:17,920
Speaker 5: He's been ready off freaking serious.

683
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:19,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not worried about him. But it was playoff

684
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:21,480
Speaker 1: b who was ready in this one? Thirty five points,

685
00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 1: twenty five minutes, twelve eighteen four to three, three boards

686
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 1: to assists and he won me ten dollars when you

687
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:26,560
Speaker 1: pay me the ten dollars.

688
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:27,560
Speaker 5: Lee want?

689
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:29,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, we cash up with Venmo these days? What are

690
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:30,280
Speaker 4: we on now?

691
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:32,280
Speaker 1: I'm a Venmo gay right now? Cash out? Can you

692
00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:33,320
Speaker 1: pick us no more? Yeah?

693
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:36,080
Speaker 4: Hey, listen, I will I will say, like a great

694
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:37,840
Speaker 4: performance from Paul George. But I also want to give

695
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 4: him credit for admitting after the game, you know, he

696
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:42,520
Speaker 4: was in a dark place and he went and saw

697
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:46,120
Speaker 4: the Clippers team psychologist and he said afterwards, I underestimated

698
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:48,680
Speaker 4: mental health. Honestly, I had anxiety a little bit of

699
00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:51,200
Speaker 4: depression from being locked in here. I just wasn't here.

700
00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:53,240
Speaker 4: I was checked out Games two, three, and four. I

701
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:55,640
Speaker 4: wasn't there. And I think that takes courage for Paul

702
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:57,840
Speaker 4: George to admit that to a national TV audience. I

703
00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:01,800
Speaker 4: know we are trying to least the stigma of admitting

704
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:05,040
Speaker 4: to having any mental health issues, but Paul George coming

705
00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 4: out there and saying I had it, and then he

706
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 4: went and dealt with it, and look at the performance

707
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:11,240
Speaker 4: that he that he put in there yesterday. So I

708
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:14,120
Speaker 4: just think that that is something that you know, he

709
00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:16,040
Speaker 4: probably was dealing with that and thinking he could just

710
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:17,720
Speaker 4: shake it off, but instead he went and spoke to

711
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:20,680
Speaker 4: someone and he had a you know, incredible game for it.

712
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:23,760
Speaker 4: So I think he deserves a lot of applause for that,

713
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:26,480
Speaker 4: for standing up and not being afraid to admit that

714
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:27,960
Speaker 4: he needed help, and he went out and got it.

715
00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:30,760
Speaker 4: And you can see the results of just speaking to somebody,

716
00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:32,920
Speaker 4: you know, and talking to somebody. So I think that's

717
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 4: truly a great thing that Paul George did.

718
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:39,080
Speaker 1: So you think that did more to affect his outcoming

719
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:43,360
Speaker 1: Game five than Shack maybe sort of texting him Shack

720
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 1: texting Mantres Harald to tell him to score a bunch

721
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 1: of boys.

722
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:50,239
Speaker 4: Ye, well yeah, I was going to say skezzy though

723
00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:52,040
Speaker 4: with their ten dollar bet, I think I should appeal

724
00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:54,720
Speaker 4: because I think those last eight points game in garbage time.

725
00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:57,680
Speaker 1: I don't think you're lucky. I mean, I mean, well,

726
00:31:57,680 --> 00:31:59,840
Speaker 1: I guess I'm lucky. I thought I was like, oh,

727
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:03,520
Speaker 1: it's having an awesome game, but they're destroying them and

728
00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:06,120
Speaker 1: he's not gonna play a ton in the second half,

729
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:08,040
Speaker 1: and he's gonna come up short. He's gonna have like

730
00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:09,800
Speaker 1: twenty eight, twenty nine to thirty points and I'm not

731
00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:12,720
Speaker 1: gonna win this bet. But I think because of Game four,

732
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:16,360
Speaker 1: and because of how testy this game got, Doc Rivers

733
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:18,520
Speaker 1: and that squad they were trying to send a message.

734
00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 1: There's no doubt this is not how NBA games go.

735
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:23,840
Speaker 1: Playoffs are not where a team's up like forty five

736
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:27,240
Speaker 1: points or whatever it got to that usually just shrinks

737
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:29,600
Speaker 1: down to like twenty. Right, it's garbage time, takes your

738
00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 1: stars out. You know, we still have games to play

739
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:33,160
Speaker 1: in this series. This is the first round at that.

740
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:36,040
Speaker 1: But they were like sort of pedal to the metal, like, no,

741
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:39,800
Speaker 1: let's bury them. This is a bit of a release

742
00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:41,880
Speaker 1: for a playoff p to get him going and just

743
00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:43,920
Speaker 1: for our entire team get this big win. So yeah,

744
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:45,480
Speaker 1: I got lucky a little bit, I'll admit. But what

745
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:47,440
Speaker 1: a call by me to switch up my Middleton bet?

746
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:50,560
Speaker 1: Oh Man, great move. I loved it. I guess it

747
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:52,440
Speaker 1: was Yulie that gave me the offer. So thank you

748
00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:55,680
Speaker 1: for giving me ten bucks. Yeah, they just figured out

749
00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:56,720
Speaker 1: a way to give you ten bucks.

750
00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:57,440
Speaker 5: You gotta love it.

751
00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:00,240
Speaker 4: Well, that's it's just like I think, you know, you

752
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:01,720
Speaker 4: know you've got that money, you're winning the bet, and

753
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:02,960
Speaker 4: you're like, all right, I just want to throw it

754
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:04,920
Speaker 4: in there and see if I can get in this

755
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:06,600
Speaker 4: bet right now. So I'm glad it's ever.

756
00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:09,120
Speaker 1: So do I win another ten dollars if Middleton goes

757
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:09,760
Speaker 1: for thirty five?

758
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 2: Oh?

759
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:11,440
Speaker 4: You want to double enough?

760
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:16,800
Speaker 1: No, I don't come on, Come on. I am walking

761
00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:19,320
Speaker 1: away from the table and going straight to my room.

762
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:21,680
Speaker 1: I got my blinders on. I'm not looking at the

763
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:23,959
Speaker 1: roulette table. I'm not seeing tasks over there at the bar.

764
00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:26,600
Speaker 1: Say nope, go right to my room.

765
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:30,400
Speaker 4: Smart move, smart move in box and enjoy it.

766
00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:33,640
Speaker 1: Just before we move on from this, we don't know

767
00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:36,040
Speaker 1: KP's situation whether he's gonna play in Game six. But

768
00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:38,760
Speaker 1: is this series a rap? I mean, the the place

769
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:40,640
Speaker 1: or the magics. Excuse me? Put up a good fight,

770
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:42,960
Speaker 1: but it'll be over come Game six.

771
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:43,240
Speaker 5: Trade.

772
00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:46,280
Speaker 1: What do you think? You can't count out Luca right now?

773
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:48,719
Speaker 3: There's no doubt about that. He's still a little hobble

774
00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:50,800
Speaker 3: and if the Clippers are going to be committed to

775
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:54,360
Speaker 3: keeping their longer, better defenders on him, that hurts you.

776
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:57,360
Speaker 3: It definitely feels like this is tilted towards the South,

777
00:33:57,720 --> 00:33:59,840
Speaker 3: towards the Clippers. You know, we didn't have a great

778
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:03,280
Speaker 3: Seth Curry game yesterday. We didn't have a huge Trey

779
00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:04,840
Speaker 3: Burke game, And those have been a couple of guys

780
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:07,840
Speaker 3: who have performed really well for the Mavericks so far.

781
00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:10,680
Speaker 3: They've got to all play great and Game six, and

782
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:13,239
Speaker 3: it's gonna be tough. You know, elimination games are the

783
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:15,480
Speaker 3: hardest for the team that's trying to do the eliminating.

784
00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:17,120
Speaker 3: So maybe you got a little bit of an advantage

785
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 3: there if you're the Mavericks knowing you got forty eight

786
00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:23,680
Speaker 3: minutes to save your season. It feels like the Clippers

787
00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:26,160
Speaker 3: have figured something out. We have our best guys guard

788
00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:27,920
Speaker 3: their best guy and our best guys are going to

789
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:30,880
Speaker 3: show up, And yeah, Lee, you're right. You totally nailed

790
00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:33,720
Speaker 3: it about Paul George. Unfortunately, I hated or I loved

791
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:35,880
Speaker 3: every single word of what he said after the game.

792
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:37,560
Speaker 3: As soon as he said the bubble got to me,

793
00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:39,279
Speaker 3: I one hundred percent felt for the guy. I was like,

794
00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:41,320
Speaker 3: at least he's admitting it. At least he's being honest

795
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:45,040
Speaker 3: about what's been going on for him since the pandemic

796
00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:47,640
Speaker 3: P jokes have started. He was Playoff P last night.

797
00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:49,040
Speaker 1: I was rooting for him.

798
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:51,520
Speaker 3: I couldn't believe it, and I felt great when he

799
00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:53,879
Speaker 3: admitted that things had gotten dark for him. Oo among

800
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:57,320
Speaker 3: us haven't been sitting there looking at our phone, scrolling, scrolling, scrolling,

801
00:34:57,400 --> 00:34:59,960
Speaker 3: letting the negativity fill your mind to the point where

802
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:02,919
Speaker 3: it really just throws you off your day. For most

803
00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:05,320
Speaker 3: of us, it doesn't happen during the NBA playoffs, but

804
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:07,560
Speaker 3: for him it did. So credit to him for showing

805
00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:09,360
Speaker 3: up and credit to him for being honest about what

806
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:10,359
Speaker 3: was going through his mind.

807
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:13,320
Speaker 1: Did Playoff P take to Instagram last night to like,

808
00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:15,400
Speaker 1: shut up the haters with a post at all? I

809
00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:17,279
Speaker 1: didn't check so at that point. I don't know. Yeah,

810
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:19,680
Speaker 1: you look that up, but task, what do you think

811
00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:22,359
Speaker 1: is this still in a rap? You know the MAVs

812
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:24,600
Speaker 1: have played well, we don't. Again, we don't know Kristaps Porzingis.

813
00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:25,960
Speaker 1: If he plays. I think it's a different game. I

814
00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:27,759
Speaker 1: think there's a potential to maybe give us a game seven,

815
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:29,239
Speaker 1: but I don't know if they would even risk that

816
00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:30,040
Speaker 1: at this point. Right.

817
00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:34,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, the Mavericks organization is definitely hesitant. They play it

818
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:36,920
Speaker 5: safe with their stars. But the Clippers do have their

819
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:40,840
Speaker 5: second best player back. They just walloped with one hundred

820
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:43,359
Speaker 5: and fifty spot on the MAVs. And we hear these

821
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:46,480
Speaker 5: numbers year in and year out about well, this team

822
00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:50,279
Speaker 5: in a sorry, in a three one situation, it's this

823
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:52,759
Speaker 5: percentage that this team is going to win, and this

824
00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:55,440
Speaker 5: number has kind of just flown over my head. But

825
00:35:55,719 --> 00:36:02,200
Speaker 5: game fives are pivotal. They're pivotal eight percent if you

826
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:04,800
Speaker 5: win game five when it's too two. Wow that that

827
00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:07,719
Speaker 5: and Ernie Johnson said yesterday, and my god, I've been

828
00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:11,399
Speaker 5: talking about basketball for fifteen years and I forgot that number.

829
00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:13,200
Speaker 5: It's just it's it's sort of skipped my mind. But

830
00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:16,640
Speaker 5: I guess it also was just reaffirmed with this Clippers

831
00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:18,160
Speaker 5: team and the showing that they put on at that

832
00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:20,920
Speaker 5: eighty two sounds more like ninety five. It just feels

833
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:23,640
Speaker 5: like that that number is just so strong right now

834
00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:26,480
Speaker 5: because yeah, the best team has has shown up and

835
00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:29,120
Speaker 5: they've they showed up for parts of games. But now

836
00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:32,839
Speaker 5: now it's yeah, Kawhi time, like they just like last year,

837
00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:35,120
Speaker 5: they didn't want to put Kawhi that the Raptors did

838
00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:37,759
Speaker 5: on the other team's best player, and not that he

839
00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:40,399
Speaker 5: was the Lucas stopper yesterday. I think he was sort

840
00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:43,320
Speaker 5: of the Trey Burke stopper to start, which was important.

841
00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:47,480
Speaker 5: But they just know that we got to stop this

842
00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:51,640
Speaker 5: guy Lucas shown. But you know, the nastiness level dirty

843
00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:53,840
Speaker 5: or not, I think is important for this for a

844
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:56,120
Speaker 5: doct Ers and Clippers team, and they've got all the

845
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:57,640
Speaker 5: ingredients to win.

846
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:00,920
Speaker 1: Let's take a quick break here to hear from our

847
00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:03,560
Speaker 1: sponsors because we got a lot more news. But JD,

848
00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:04,720
Speaker 1: what do you got for us here today?

849
00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:11,680
Speaker 7: If you're looking for a couch burrow, be better, that's sad.

850
00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:13,760
Speaker 5: Yes, we're gonna make that stick.

851
00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:14,520
Speaker 3: I swear to god.

852
00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:17,840
Speaker 7: Listen, I got a bunch of couches around here, and

853
00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:21,800
Speaker 7: they are all just blah. My brother gave me this

854
00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:25,040
Speaker 7: one over here. It's fine. Shout out to Ryan. I

855
00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:27,960
Speaker 7: like it well enough. I guess Maddio gave me one two.

856
00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:31,719
Speaker 7: It's also fine. It's upstairs in Lincoln's room right now,

857
00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:35,440
Speaker 7: buried in dirty laundry. One of our couches is more

858
00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:38,000
Speaker 7: of a day bed that we bought for Jackson when

859
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:42,239
Speaker 7: he graduated from his toddler bed. The thing is, we

860
00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:44,400
Speaker 7: let him pick it out, and he was four at

861
00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:48,600
Speaker 7: the time. And listen, he's got taste. The kid has taste,

862
00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:52,320
Speaker 7: but back then he didn't know anything about beds or couches.

863
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:55,480
Speaker 7: So the point is, I got a lot of couches

864
00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:59,000
Speaker 7: that I don't love, and frankly, it's sad. I'm a

865
00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:01,840
Speaker 7: forty nine year old man. I should love my couch.

866
00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:07,640
Speaker 7: And as he says, Burrow be better. You can customize

867
00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:13,240
Speaker 7: your couch exactly to your specification fabric, color, leg finish, armrest,

868
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:16,720
Speaker 7: style and length. You can add a chaise lounge.

869
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:18,080
Speaker 5: Is it chase or chaise?

870
00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:22,480
Speaker 7: Could you ask your French drain guy that please less Steven.

871
00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:27,040
Speaker 1: I think he's actually trying to call me here or

872
00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:28,600
Speaker 1: you can add an automan or both.

873
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:31,160
Speaker 7: You can assembly your sofa or break it down in

874
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:33,400
Speaker 7: minutes and you don't need any tools.

875
00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:33,920
Speaker 5: I love that.

876
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:38,200
Speaker 7: And if your seating needs change, you can add or

877
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:41,200

00:39:28,239 --> 00:39:31,200
Speaker 1: entire body while doing squads in the shower. I'm not

891
00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:33,760
Speaker 1: really sure what else I can add, but the lawnmower

892
00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:36,239
Speaker 1: three point oh is the best hygiene tool for the

911
00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:33,360
Speaker 1: Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokoumpo was named the twenty nineteen twenty

912
00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:35,799
Speaker 1: NBA Defensive Player of the Year on Tuesday. The twenty

913
00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:39,120
Speaker 1: five year old beat out Anthony Davis and Rudy Gobert

914
00:40:39,239 --> 00:40:41,239
Speaker 1: to earn the honor for the first time in his

915
00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:46,520
Speaker 1: seven year career. He received seventy five first place vote,

916
00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:48,520
Speaker 1: so he sort of ran away with this one. Was

917
00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:53,920
Speaker 1: anyone shocked from Jannis taking DPOY and are they upset

918
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:56,440
Speaker 1: like the Lakers fans are, that Anthony Davis didn't grab this.

919
00:40:57,000 --> 00:40:59,239
Speaker 3: You know, Anthony Davis had a lot of marketing going

920
00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:02,560
Speaker 3: towards his Defensive Player of the Year candidacy, and it

921
00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:05,719
Speaker 3: felt like Jannis's candidacy was gonna be, Oh, yeah, I'm

922
00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:07,840
Speaker 3: the best defensive player on the best defensive team and

923
00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:09,799
Speaker 3: that's what won out, and that's what should have won out.

924
00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:11,480
Speaker 1: Is it a surprise.

925
00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:13,400
Speaker 3: I don't really think it's a surprise, And to me,

926
00:41:13,560 --> 00:41:16,600
Speaker 3: it's like barely even an announcement because we're more excited

927
00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:19,680
Speaker 3: for Yiannis to win his second MVP and then therefore

928
00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:22,200
Speaker 3: become the third player ever to have a Defensive Player

929
00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:24,800
Speaker 3: of the Year and an MVP in the same season,

930
00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:27,640
Speaker 3: joining Jordan and Elijah on On. Those are a couple

931
00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:30,040
Speaker 3: of legendary names. It's a legendary thing to be considered

932
00:41:30,080 --> 00:41:31,879
Speaker 3: the best player in the league and also the best

933
00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:34,960
Speaker 3: defender during the same season, So this is very cool

934
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:38,360
Speaker 3: for Janus. He has been an incredible defender. There is

935
00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:41,520
Speaker 3: a good system in Milwaukee that really plays to the

936
00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:43,279
Speaker 3: strengths of the players they've got around, and there were

937
00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:45,480
Speaker 3: some cases to be made for brook Lopez as their

938
00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:49,120
Speaker 3: most important defensive guy, but I think this really shows

939
00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:51,680
Speaker 3: that despite the fact that Lopez is a great rim

940
00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:54,439
Speaker 3: protector and that he is instrumental to the Bucks as

941
00:41:54,600 --> 00:41:57,320
Speaker 3: a quality defense, it really is Janis that makes the

942
00:41:57,400 --> 00:41:59,920
Speaker 3: show go because it makes it so that Lopez can

943
00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:02,239
Speaker 3: at the rim. It makes it so that Jannis is

944
00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:04,200
Speaker 3: a guy that can clean up all the mistakes that

945
00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:06,200
Speaker 3: even if a Brook Lopez makes. He can guard so

946
00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:08,800
Speaker 3: many different guys, and of course he's grabbing the rebounds

947
00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:11,160
Speaker 3: to which is an important part of defense. So very

948
00:42:11,239 --> 00:42:14,040
Speaker 3: cool for Yannis. Not a surprising award, and it's gonna

949
00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:17,640
Speaker 3: be even more awesome when he's got two trophies.

950
00:42:17,239 --> 00:42:18,799
Speaker 1: To put up on his mantle this year. They should

951
00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:20,879
Speaker 1: have they should have done them at the same time, right, hmm,

952
00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:23,120
Speaker 1: I mean I would have been badass, But yeah, the

953
00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:26,600
Speaker 1: numbers are there in Giannis's favor. Defensive rating ninety seven

954
00:42:26,640 --> 00:42:28,919
Speaker 1: point one, best in the NBA by a mile. Also

955
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:32,879
Speaker 1: ranked number one in defensive wind shares defensive box plus minus. Yeah,

956
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:34,839
Speaker 1: not much of Sprie. Maybe a surprise that he got

957
00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:38,200
Speaker 1: as many first place votes as he gotten, and also

958
00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:40,680
Speaker 1: surprised some of the other votes that we saw in

959
00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:46,080
Speaker 1: this league, some perplexing ones. Yes, Andre Drummonds, Hassan Whiteside.

960
00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:50,040
Speaker 4: Yes, okay, yeah, Well look at Hassan Whiteside as a

961
00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:53,239
Speaker 4: help defender. Contributes to his saying he comes over and

962
00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:55,160
Speaker 4: gets block shots, but as a pick and roll defender,

963
00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:58,880
Speaker 4: as a post defender, he's awful, awful, and he's also

964
00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:02,279
Speaker 4: a very bad effort defender. And I think that's really

965
00:43:02,360 --> 00:43:04,279
Speaker 4: what stands out to me as well about Yannis is

966
00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:08,360
Speaker 4: that Yannis is always hunting down opportunities on the defensive

967
00:43:08,440 --> 00:43:10,920
Speaker 4: end to steal, to create deflections, to block shots that

968
00:43:11,080 --> 00:43:13,120
Speaker 4: Jannis gets stunked on quite a few times throughout the

969
00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:15,799
Speaker 4: season because he's chasing so many he's trying to stop

970
00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:19,000
Speaker 4: so many shots. But Hassan Whiteside, he often just doesn't

971
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:21,200
Speaker 4: even try. It doesn't even make the effort to even

972
00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:23,680
Speaker 4: look like he's trying. So, you know, you can look

973
00:43:23,719 --> 00:43:25,120
Speaker 4: at stats and say, well, this guy gets a lot

974
00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:26,960
Speaker 4: of blocks out, must mean he's a good defender. But

975
00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:28,719
Speaker 4: if you watch the game and you see the way

976
00:43:28,760 --> 00:43:31,560
Speaker 4: that Whiteside contributes on the defensive end, he doesn't deserve

977
00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:34,319
Speaker 4: anywhere near the consideration the Defensive Player of the Year

978
00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:37,840
Speaker 4: that someone like Yannis does. And Yannis knows that. You know,

979
00:43:38,040 --> 00:43:40,200
Speaker 4: the defense starts with the leader of the team, and

980
00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:43,239
Speaker 4: Brook Lopez has been great, but Jannis is a much

981
00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:47,120
Speaker 4: better defender and overall he's the one that just gets

982
00:43:47,160 --> 00:43:49,319
Speaker 4: things going for them and that's what makes them such

983
00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:51,279
Speaker 4: a good team. This season starts on that defensive end,

984
00:43:51,360 --> 00:43:54,759
Speaker 4: so worthy winner happy to see him do it, and yeah,

985
00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:56,920
Speaker 4: he's going to have He's going to join Jordan and

986
00:43:56,960 --> 00:43:59,200
Speaker 4: the kim Olojaan. I think Elijah One's the only guy though,

987
00:43:59,239 --> 00:44:02,279
Speaker 4: who actually want a championship, and that's the season that

988
00:44:02,320 --> 00:44:04,360
Speaker 4: he won both of those awards, So that's something that

989
00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:07,279
Speaker 4: that Jordan wasn't even able to achieve. And that'll be

990
00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:10,920
Speaker 4: pretty interesting if Yannis will join a Hakeem in that situation,

991
00:44:11,080 --> 00:44:12,520
Speaker 4: if if the Buck's going to win at.

992
00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:16,400
Speaker 1: All, Only five players have ever won MVP and Defensive

993
00:44:16,440 --> 00:44:18,759
Speaker 1: Player of the Year, like you know you said Jordan

994
00:44:18,840 --> 00:44:21,400
Speaker 1: Elijah did in the same season, and Johannis will very

995
00:44:21,480 --> 00:44:23,720
Speaker 1: likely join that club, but only five guys ever, Janis

996
00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:26,839
Speaker 1: Jordan Elijaha, and then David Robinson has both and Kevin

997
00:44:26,840 --> 00:44:30,360
Speaker 1: Garnett has both. I saw Josh Ebery note that we

998
00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:34,080
Speaker 1: might need a nickname for this extensive club, so we'll

999
00:44:34,120 --> 00:44:36,120
Speaker 1: throw that at the YouTube comments. I mean, what what

1000
00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:39,439
Speaker 1: do you call this very unique club of having both

1001
00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:43,360
Speaker 1: of those? Only five you know, all time, pretty damn amazing,

1002
00:44:43,480 --> 00:44:45,319
Speaker 1: unbelievable list there. So I don't know if I'm sure

1003
00:44:45,400 --> 00:44:47,280
Speaker 1: Lee would like to find a way to work double

1004
00:44:47,400 --> 00:44:54,160
Speaker 1: ender in there somehow MVP D Nope, that's what happens.

1005
00:44:54,320 --> 00:44:56,040
Speaker 1: Not a manscaped dad exactly.

1006
00:44:56,920 --> 00:45:00,480
Speaker 5: A great comment though from John Chuis speaking about man escaping.

1007
00:45:01,120 --> 00:45:06,520
Speaker 5: He says, Drummond talk about man escaping, well, then well done,

1008
00:45:06,600 --> 00:45:10,320
Speaker 5: John chu If you know about Andre Drummond's body history,

1009
00:45:10,880 --> 00:45:11,920
Speaker 5: that'll be funny too.

1010
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:12,200
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1011
00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:15,400
Speaker 1: Drummond getting the first place vote, I guess it was

1012
00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:17,600
Speaker 1: the same voter. I believe his name is Greg Logan.

1013
00:45:17,719 --> 00:45:20,920
Speaker 1: He's owned it. I mean, he's on Twitter that he

1014
00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:24,080
Speaker 1: had Drummond first overall Defensive Player of the Year. And

1015
00:45:24,800 --> 00:45:25,839
Speaker 1: white Side number two.

1016
00:45:26,600 --> 00:45:28,839
Speaker 4: Well he earned it, but I believe that tweet has

1017
00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:29,400
Speaker 4: been deleted.

1018
00:45:29,480 --> 00:45:31,120
Speaker 5: The Yeah, well, I believe they.

1019
00:45:31,040 --> 00:45:34,439
Speaker 1: Should also remove his voting credentials. I'm sorry. I don't

1020
00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:37,799
Speaker 1: know Greg Logan personally, but put a little too much

1021
00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:40,920
Speaker 1: stock into the rebound numbers there. Maybe I don't know, man,

1022
00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:43,120
Speaker 1: I thought this was a great throwback vote. This was

1023
00:45:43,200 --> 00:45:46,759
Speaker 1: a vote from like twenty ten, maybe even earlier two

1024
00:45:46,760 --> 00:45:48,759
Speaker 1: thousand and five. You look at the numbers, you're like, wow,

1025
00:45:48,840 --> 00:45:52,160
Speaker 1: Hassan white Side led the lead in blocks. That's actually surprising.

1026
00:45:52,640 --> 00:45:55,359
Speaker 3: Number two to me. His numbers don't quite add up though,

1027
00:45:55,440 --> 00:45:57,600
Speaker 3: to the numbers of Andre Drummonds, so he's got to

1028
00:45:57,640 --> 00:46:00,480
Speaker 3: be number one. Don't watch the game, just look at

1029
00:46:00,480 --> 00:46:00,960
Speaker 3: the numbers.

1030
00:46:01,120 --> 00:46:04,080
Speaker 1: He did have Gianna's third I think on his ballot. Yeah,

1031
00:46:04,600 --> 00:46:08,080
Speaker 1: that's pretty good. Yeah, it is. It is interesting too,

1032
00:46:08,120 --> 00:46:12,080
Speaker 1: you know, with this award, it goes generally to someone

1033
00:46:12,120 --> 00:46:15,319
Speaker 1: that excels more defensively than they do offensively. Right, that's

1034
00:46:15,520 --> 00:46:17,799
Speaker 1: you know Noah's and the Greens and the go Beart.

1035
00:46:18,040 --> 00:46:21,080
Speaker 1: So it is, uh, it's not refreshing, but it's sort

1036
00:46:21,080 --> 00:46:22,800
Speaker 1: of cool. I mean, even if ad had wanted to

1037
00:46:22,920 --> 00:46:24,640
Speaker 1: see a guy that like, oh, yeah, I can also

1038
00:46:24,680 --> 00:46:27,640
Speaker 1: give you thirty every night, is also maybe the best

1039
00:46:27,680 --> 00:46:29,759
Speaker 1: defensive player in the league or is so that that

1040
00:46:29,880 --> 00:46:31,840
Speaker 1: was pretty cool. We also had votes for Ben Simmons

1041
00:46:32,080 --> 00:46:34,920
Speaker 1: and bam Adebayo and Marcus Smart and others received votes,

1042
00:46:34,920 --> 00:46:37,439
Speaker 1: and I think only really the Drummond and white Side

1043
00:46:37,480 --> 00:46:39,080
Speaker 1: one were the crazy ones. You get the odd like

1044
00:46:39,600 --> 00:46:42,399
Speaker 1: Jared Allen getting like, you know, a third place vote

1045
00:46:42,440 --> 00:46:45,040
Speaker 1: because people do that. They're like, this doesn't really mean anything,

1046
00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:47,359
Speaker 1: this third place vote, whatever it counts for, So let's

1047
00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:48,640
Speaker 1: give it to a guy that I like and it's

1048
00:46:48,680 --> 00:46:50,200
Speaker 1: been good. Not that he's been a bad defender by

1049
00:46:50,239 --> 00:46:53,080
Speaker 1: any means, but yeah, anything else to add to this test?

1050
00:46:53,360 --> 00:46:55,560
Speaker 1: You weren't shocked with Giannis there? Did you like the

1051
00:46:55,880 --> 00:46:57,319
Speaker 1: did you like the ceremony? I know you were big

1052
00:46:57,360 --> 00:46:59,319
Speaker 1: on the Nick Nurse one. Did you like how they

1053
00:46:59,360 --> 00:47:01,399
Speaker 1: did this one with Honest? He had this whole team

1054
00:47:01,440 --> 00:47:02,400
Speaker 1: there and the coaches and stuff like that.

1055
00:47:03,239 --> 00:47:06,840
Speaker 5: Well, ye, Honest was definitely pretty emotional about this about

1056
00:47:06,880 --> 00:47:10,440
Speaker 5: this one. He was he was, He got to him,

1057
00:47:10,480 --> 00:47:12,600
Speaker 5: definitely got to him. I can't wait to see his

1058
00:47:12,760 --> 00:47:14,840
Speaker 5: MVP speech. How emotional he's going to be for that,

1059
00:47:15,080 --> 00:47:17,600
Speaker 5: and I think the Bucks will turn it up a notch.

1060
00:47:17,760 --> 00:47:22,880
Speaker 5: They're probably saving the fireworks for for the MVP ceremony,

1061
00:47:23,200 --> 00:47:25,000
Speaker 5: just you know, maybe get a little more special, maybe

1062
00:47:25,000 --> 00:47:27,680
Speaker 5: a little surprise, and don't worry that they didn't do

1063
00:47:27,840 --> 00:47:30,200
Speaker 5: it together. I'm sure they'll bring up the Defensive Player

1064
00:47:30,239 --> 00:47:32,560
Speaker 5: of the Year trophy. I did want to see a

1065
00:47:32,719 --> 00:47:36,400
Speaker 5: little bit more of a comic relief from Brook Lopez.

1066
00:47:36,480 --> 00:47:39,399
Speaker 5: I mean that was he was sitting right there. Brooke

1067
00:47:39,520 --> 00:47:41,520
Speaker 5: handed him the trophy if you didn't see it when

1068
00:47:41,680 --> 00:47:44,880
Speaker 5: the announcement was made. But you know, no real jokes

1069
00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:47,400
Speaker 5: from brook Lopez, nothing, nothing really from Brook just a

1070
00:47:47,480 --> 00:47:50,479
Speaker 5: couple just a couple stares across. If you just watch,

1071
00:47:50,800 --> 00:47:52,759
Speaker 5: if you if you want a creepy stare, just put

1072
00:47:52,800 --> 00:47:56,480
Speaker 5: the camera on Brook Lopez. Mike, my goodness, guracious, just

1073
00:47:56,719 --> 00:47:59,400
Speaker 5: have an ISO camera that guy some creepy stares across.

1074
00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:02,080
Speaker 5: But it was nice to to hear Jannis emotional about it,

1075
00:48:02,560 --> 00:48:07,160
Speaker 5: and and also Mike Budenholzer come out and speak about

1076
00:48:07,360 --> 00:48:10,560
Speaker 5: Jacob Blake, which happening in their home state of Wisconsin

1077
00:48:10,640 --> 00:48:15,080
Speaker 5: and Kenosha, Wisconsin. Nobody mincing words in the NBA everybody

1078
00:48:16,000 --> 00:48:18,600
Speaker 5: not forgetting what they are down there to do, and

1079
00:48:18,960 --> 00:48:23,400
Speaker 5: basketball has definitely taken a front seat, and that has

1080
00:48:23,480 --> 00:48:26,400
Speaker 5: bothered some players like it has George Hill and I

1081
00:48:26,520 --> 00:48:29,719
Speaker 5: know we'll get to the boycott story here, but Budenholzer

1082
00:48:29,800 --> 00:48:32,520
Speaker 5: doesn't mess around. He doesn't and that was definitely a

1083
00:48:32,600 --> 00:48:35,440
Speaker 5: part of their day. So it was I'm sure it's

1084
00:48:35,440 --> 00:48:38,399
Speaker 5: an emotional day for all of them, and that team

1085
00:48:38,520 --> 00:48:40,320
Speaker 5: was there. It was nice to see all of the

1086
00:48:40,400 --> 00:48:43,960
Speaker 5: guys there and it's it's a unit, it's a it's

1087
00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:48,680
Speaker 5: a special unit. League bubble thing we've got going on here,

1088
00:48:48,800 --> 00:48:51,640
Speaker 5: but the work has not stopped for everybody down there,

1089
00:48:51,680 --> 00:48:54,560
Speaker 5: So that was it was refreshing to hear coach talk

1090
00:48:54,600 --> 00:48:54,880
Speaker 5: about that.

1091
00:48:55,120 --> 00:48:58,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, before we get to this possibility of players boycotting

1092
00:48:58,360 --> 00:49:02,480
Speaker 1: games being thrown around, what'd you think of Shack's Greek tasks?

1093
00:49:03,080 --> 00:49:04,800
Speaker 1: I wanted you to break that down. Did you catch that?

1094
00:49:04,880 --> 00:49:06,320
Speaker 1: Whey were he tried to speak Greek?

1095
00:49:06,719 --> 00:49:10,240
Speaker 5: Yeah? I was, uh, I was with Janis. I didn't

1096
00:49:10,320 --> 00:49:11,880
Speaker 5: understand half of it.

1097
00:49:12,320 --> 00:49:12,560
Speaker 4: He did.

1098
00:49:12,800 --> 00:49:17,480
Speaker 5: He tried to say, which is congratulations, and Yannis got that.

1099
00:49:17,840 --> 00:49:20,840
Speaker 5: I got that too, But after that, I don't know,

1100
00:49:21,280 --> 00:49:24,440
Speaker 5: I'm really really confused because I don't know what he

1101
00:49:24,520 --> 00:49:26,600
Speaker 5: was He just he just stopped. I think he was

1102
00:49:26,680 --> 00:49:29,480
Speaker 5: going that syllable for syllable, and it's really tough to

1103
00:49:30,440 --> 00:49:32,879
Speaker 5: to wrap your mind around with what was going on there.

1104
00:49:33,560 --> 00:49:38,000
Speaker 5: Somebody you got that part, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, somebody uh,

1105
00:49:38,320 --> 00:49:42,520
Speaker 5: somebody up there underdog probably did a little Google Translate

1106
00:49:42,640 --> 00:49:44,200
Speaker 5: for him and threw that sheet in front of him

1107
00:49:44,239 --> 00:49:46,840
Speaker 5: before the show. And I don't know, you know, and

1108
00:49:46,960 --> 00:49:49,680
Speaker 5: Shaq's not the most clearly spoken guy, as much as

1109
00:49:49,719 --> 00:49:52,640
Speaker 5: Shaq is the the greatest up there. Yeah, I didn't

1110
00:49:52,640 --> 00:49:54,920
Speaker 5: know what the heck he was saying. No, And multiple

1111
00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:59,239
Speaker 5: times he repeated it and Yannis couldn't get it, and

1112
00:49:59,400 --> 00:50:01,960
Speaker 5: they went back to that can you say Yannis's last

1113
00:50:02,040 --> 00:50:04,719
Speaker 5: name joke as well? You know, they like repeating jokes

1114
00:50:04,760 --> 00:50:06,880
Speaker 5: there skeets and inside the NBA. It wasn't right to

1115
00:50:06,960 --> 00:50:10,080
Speaker 5: the board. But yeah, Shaq has tried to say his

1116
00:50:10,200 --> 00:50:13,360
Speaker 5: name before. Oh he did it pretty well though. He

1117
00:50:13,480 --> 00:50:16,480
Speaker 5: actually did it very well in comparison to last time.

1118
00:50:17,200 --> 00:50:20,640
Speaker 1: They Sorry, I'm a little distracted. The French drained guy

1119
00:50:20,719 --> 00:50:21,840
Speaker 1: is literally out the window.

1120
00:50:25,600 --> 00:50:27,520
Speaker 5: Who was that Danny our audio guy?

1121
00:50:27,680 --> 00:50:27,839
Speaker 4: Oh?

1122
00:50:28,840 --> 00:50:31,600
Speaker 1: Definitely, Well, I guess I'm missing. The guy tells me

1123
00:50:31,680 --> 00:50:36,560
Speaker 1: he's coming at at lunch. I'll be around lunch. They

1124
00:50:36,640 --> 00:50:39,160
Speaker 1: never really Yeah, well, I know that's why I was

1125
00:50:39,160 --> 00:50:40,799
Speaker 1: talking to Nora. I was like, now, I'll be fine.

1126
00:50:40,840 --> 00:50:42,879
Speaker 1: He says lunch. That means he's gonna call me around

1127
00:50:42,920 --> 00:50:46,279
Speaker 1: twelve thirty. He'll be here around one. And then here

1128
00:50:46,320 --> 00:50:47,759
Speaker 1: he is. He showed up like a half hour ago.

1129
00:50:47,800 --> 00:50:49,320
Speaker 1: He's been out the window like this whole time. I

1130
00:50:49,400 --> 00:50:50,760
Speaker 1: keep looking over anyway.

1131
00:50:51,120 --> 00:50:52,759
Speaker 5: People need work, people need work.

1132
00:50:53,080 --> 00:50:56,400
Speaker 1: I was gonna say something about the Greek and Shack thing,

1133
00:50:56,440 --> 00:50:58,120
Speaker 1: and I can't remember, so let's just move on, all right.

1134
00:50:58,400 --> 00:50:59,960
Speaker 1: The other piece of news I want to get to you.

1135
00:51:00,280 --> 00:51:02,040
Speaker 1: We were alluding to it. The Raptors and Celtics are

1136
00:51:02,080 --> 00:51:04,560
Speaker 1: scheduled to play in the Eastern Conference semifinals starting tomorrow,

1137
00:51:04,800 --> 00:51:08,239
Speaker 1: but members of both teams have discussed boycotting games in

1138
00:51:08,320 --> 00:51:11,360
Speaker 1: protests of Jacob Blake being shot multiple times by police

1139
00:51:11,400 --> 00:51:15,600
Speaker 1: officers in Wisconsin. Norman Powell told reporters of boycott is

1140
00:51:15,680 --> 00:51:18,239
Speaker 1: being talked about because quote, taking a knee is not

1141
00:51:18,280 --> 00:51:21,880
Speaker 1: getting it done. Marcus Smart echoed those sentiments, quote it's

1142
00:51:21,920 --> 00:51:23,720
Speaker 1: something in the back of our mind, there's more important

1143
00:51:23,760 --> 00:51:25,759
Speaker 1: things in basketball right now. You said it, Tasks. There's

1144
00:51:25,760 --> 00:51:27,800
Speaker 1: a lot of guys speaking out about this. Fan Vleet,

1145
00:51:28,080 --> 00:51:32,560
Speaker 1: Jalen Brown, George Hill, of course, Lebron. Yeah, I just

1146
00:51:32,680 --> 00:51:34,239
Speaker 1: like want to get your opinion on this. I wanted

1147
00:51:34,239 --> 00:51:37,919
Speaker 1: to obviously get this in the show of I don't

1148
00:51:37,920 --> 00:51:39,840
Speaker 1: know that I'm saying, like, what would your reaction to

1149
00:51:39,920 --> 00:51:43,120
Speaker 1: be if the Celtics and Raptors decide to not play

1150
00:51:43,200 --> 00:51:47,319
Speaker 1: basketball tomorrow night? But yeah, just your overall of what's

1151
00:51:47,320 --> 00:51:49,520
Speaker 1: happened over the last couple of days here again in

1152
00:51:49,640 --> 00:51:52,640
Speaker 1: this country, and you know, the burden sort of being

1153
00:51:52,680 --> 00:51:54,600
Speaker 1: put on these players. I think, what do you think, Trey.

1154
00:51:55,600 --> 00:51:58,040
Speaker 3: I definitely feel for the NBA players that they have

1155
00:51:58,200 --> 00:52:01,320
Speaker 3: to go and answer these questions about the police shooting

1156
00:52:01,360 --> 00:52:03,520
Speaker 3: another black man and then go out and try and

1157
00:52:03,600 --> 00:52:06,680
Speaker 3: play a playoff basketball game. It's an impossible situation that

1158
00:52:06,760 --> 00:52:09,920
Speaker 3: they are in right now. And Michelle Roberts told David

1159
00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:12,800
Speaker 3: Aldridge that there's just a feeling of helplessness, and I

1160
00:52:12,840 --> 00:52:14,840
Speaker 3: think that that's what you're getting from a guy like

1161
00:52:14,920 --> 00:52:17,000
Speaker 3: George Hill saying there's nothing we can do in the bubble,

1162
00:52:17,080 --> 00:52:20,359
Speaker 3: and that's why it seems like the boycott talk has

1163
00:52:20,440 --> 00:52:26,160
Speaker 3: started because there are a set of league approved protests,

1164
00:52:26,239 --> 00:52:28,320
Speaker 3: which means that they're not really protests, right like, you

1165
00:52:28,360 --> 00:52:30,239
Speaker 3: can kneel for the anthem, you can wear this set

1166
00:52:30,280 --> 00:52:33,319
Speaker 3: of phrases on the back of your jersey. But those

1167
00:52:33,440 --> 00:52:36,439
Speaker 3: are just words and those are just images that we see.

1168
00:52:37,120 --> 00:52:39,480
Speaker 3: Perhaps a boycott one of the very few things that

1169
00:52:39,600 --> 00:52:42,640
Speaker 3: the players could actually do to put pressure on governors

1170
00:52:42,680 --> 00:52:45,720
Speaker 3: to therefore put pressure on politicians and other influential people.

1171
00:52:46,080 --> 00:52:47,839
Speaker 3: I think that that's why you're hearing that they're trying

1172
00:52:47,880 --> 00:52:50,160
Speaker 3: to figure out something they can do to keep the

1173
00:52:50,239 --> 00:52:54,040
Speaker 3: focus on the Black Lives Matter movement, on police brutality

1174
00:52:54,400 --> 00:52:57,880
Speaker 3: and the systemic racism that has infected police forces across

1175
00:52:57,920 --> 00:53:00,239
Speaker 3: the country for hundreds and hundreds of years, trying to

1176
00:53:00,280 --> 00:53:02,280
Speaker 3: figure out anything they can do to be a positive

1177
00:53:02,400 --> 00:53:06,920
Speaker 3: voice and a positive to give positive messages to the

1178
00:53:06,960 --> 00:53:09,680
Speaker 3: people out in the communities. You saw Jalen Brown tweeting,

1179
00:53:10,120 --> 00:53:11,840
Speaker 3: I want to be out there protesting. I think that

1180
00:53:11,920 --> 00:53:14,799
Speaker 3: that's players are trying to find out what they can

1181
00:53:14,840 --> 00:53:17,280
Speaker 3: actually do to have an impact while staying in the bubble,

1182
00:53:18,120 --> 00:53:20,640
Speaker 3: and if that means that they're boycotting more power to them,

1183
00:53:20,719 --> 00:53:23,319
Speaker 3: because there's not a lot they can do at this point,

1184
00:53:24,000 --> 00:53:26,640
Speaker 3: since they're there and things have already started, we're already

1185
00:53:26,640 --> 00:53:29,600
Speaker 3: in the middle of the playoffs. It's an impossible situation

1186
00:53:29,719 --> 00:53:32,520
Speaker 3: for them. It's not their job to be to be

1187
00:53:32,640 --> 00:53:36,320
Speaker 3: the most visible voices in police brutality. But the police

1188
00:53:36,800 --> 00:53:39,760
Speaker 3: have continued to shoot people while we're in the bubble,

1189
00:53:39,800 --> 00:53:42,400
Speaker 3: and players we're hoping. I assume that all of this

1190
00:53:42,520 --> 00:53:46,080
Speaker 3: messaging regarding black Lives Matter and the social justice messages

1191
00:53:46,160 --> 00:53:49,160
Speaker 3: on the back of the jersey would keep the momentum

1192
00:53:49,280 --> 00:53:51,680
Speaker 3: going to the point that people wouldn't have to be

1193
00:53:51,840 --> 00:53:54,719
Speaker 3: reacting to this during the bubble. Obviously nobody thought that

1194
00:53:54,960 --> 00:53:57,480
Speaker 3: T shirts were going to solve the problem, but maybe

1195
00:53:57,840 --> 00:54:00,480
Speaker 3: continuing to talk about it would prevent It's something from

1196
00:54:00,520 --> 00:54:03,799
Speaker 3: happening in the meantime that hasn't happened, and now we're

1197
00:54:03,800 --> 00:54:07,120
Speaker 3: getting a lot more questions about another shooting. So a

1198
00:54:07,160 --> 00:54:10,080
Speaker 3: boycott is something that could possibly have an effect. We'll

1199
00:54:10,080 --> 00:54:12,320
Speaker 3: see if it actually happens. There's a lot of emotions

1200
00:54:12,400 --> 00:54:14,200
Speaker 3: right now. That's another phrase you heard from quite a

1201
00:54:14,200 --> 00:54:16,880
Speaker 3: few players. People are hurting, they're trying to figure out

1202
00:54:16,920 --> 00:54:17,279
Speaker 3: what they can.

1203
00:54:17,239 --> 00:54:19,160
Speaker 1: Do to help. Yeah, I think that's right. I think

1204
00:54:19,160 --> 00:54:22,040
Speaker 1: the players, I think a lot of people, empathetic people

1205
00:54:22,080 --> 00:54:23,680
Speaker 1: at that at least, are trying to figure out how

1206
00:54:23,680 --> 00:54:26,799
Speaker 1: to translate words and emotions like you said, into action

1207
00:54:27,000 --> 00:54:28,720
Speaker 1: and what do you do? And it leaves you feeling

1208
00:54:28,760 --> 00:54:31,279
Speaker 1: a little bit like sort of hopeless and like what

1209
00:54:31,920 --> 00:54:34,520
Speaker 1: can I do? And like this isn't working? So maybe

1210
00:54:34,640 --> 00:54:36,600
Speaker 1: now we try this. I think that's where some of

1211
00:54:36,640 --> 00:54:38,759
Speaker 1: their heads are going. But taskly anything that.

1212
00:54:39,280 --> 00:54:42,320
Speaker 4: I'll just say. Last night at the Republican National Convention,

1213
00:54:42,480 --> 00:54:46,000
Speaker 4: the Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron spoke. Now, he's the

1214
00:54:46,040 --> 00:54:48,200
Speaker 4: one who has the power to arrest the police officer

1215
00:54:48,200 --> 00:54:51,160
Speaker 4: who murdered Breonna Taylor. He hasn't done that yet, and

1216
00:54:51,400 --> 00:54:53,640
Speaker 4: he should be doing that. There is absolutely no reason

1217
00:54:53,680 --> 00:54:55,600
Speaker 4: why this has dragged.

1218
00:54:55,320 --> 00:54:56,120
Speaker 6: On for this long.

1219
00:54:56,320 --> 00:54:58,239
Speaker 4: There's no question that the police went in there, she

1220
00:54:58,360 --> 00:55:01,280
Speaker 4: was asleep and they murdered her in asleep. They should

1221
00:55:01,280 --> 00:55:03,960
Speaker 4: be arrested immediately and charged with murder. And there's no

1222
00:55:04,200 --> 00:55:07,879
Speaker 4: question whatsoever that that should happen today. And it's taken

1223
00:55:07,920 --> 00:55:11,200
Speaker 4: far too long. That he's making excuses, he's delaying things

1224
00:55:11,560 --> 00:55:14,399
Speaker 4: and that's simply not good enough. That there's no way

1225
00:55:14,480 --> 00:55:17,040
Speaker 4: a person should be asleep in their own bed at home.

1226
00:55:17,239 --> 00:55:19,680
Speaker 4: People break into their house and murder it, and that

1227
00:55:19,800 --> 00:55:22,319
Speaker 4: has happened by police officers, and the Attorney General Daniel

1228
00:55:22,360 --> 00:55:26,520
Speaker 4: Cameron has not taken action, and that is simply unforgivable,

1229
00:55:26,640 --> 00:55:29,319
Speaker 4: unforgivable at this point. So rather than getting up there

1230
00:55:29,680 --> 00:55:33,160
Speaker 4: and being a spokesman for the Trump campaign, get out

1231
00:55:33,239 --> 00:55:35,400
Speaker 4: and do your job and arrest the police officers who

1232
00:55:35,520 --> 00:55:36,520
Speaker 4: murdered Brianna Taylor.

1233
00:55:38,239 --> 00:55:41,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, enough people have to care about that to pressure

1234
00:55:42,280 --> 00:55:46,880
Speaker 5: politicians to actually make changes. And I really really appreciate

1235
00:55:47,200 --> 00:55:51,880
Speaker 5: all the NBA players being ridiculously vulnerable and seeing what

1236
00:55:51,960 --> 00:55:57,240
Speaker 5: they feel and being extremely emotional and just expressing everything

1237
00:55:57,320 --> 00:55:59,919
Speaker 5: that is inside them, because I don't think this would

1238
00:56:00,040 --> 00:56:03,520
Speaker 5: have happened ten years ago in the NBA. And this

1239
00:56:03,680 --> 00:56:07,319
Speaker 5: has obviously been an issue in America for a long time,

1240
00:56:07,520 --> 00:56:10,120
Speaker 5: and basketball players are taking a step in the right

1241
00:56:10,160 --> 00:56:13,239
Speaker 5: direction in general, just as somebody who's covered the league

1242
00:56:13,239 --> 00:56:16,239
Speaker 5: for a long time, I'm proud of watching all these

1243
00:56:16,280 --> 00:56:18,879
Speaker 5: guys having to put their hearts on the line, which

1244
00:56:18,960 --> 00:56:21,680
Speaker 5: is so so unfortunate, but they're doing it. Because people

1245
00:56:21,840 --> 00:56:24,960
Speaker 5: need to do it. And the fact is that, yeah,

1246
00:56:25,040 --> 00:56:30,480
Speaker 5: the Kentucky Attorney General has the ability to do it.

1247
00:56:31,280 --> 00:56:34,600
Speaker 5: But I don't think boycotting a game. I don't even

1248
00:56:34,640 --> 00:56:37,280
Speaker 5: know if these guys just decided, hey, we're not playing

1249
00:56:37,680 --> 00:56:40,640
Speaker 5: or both. Boycotting the rest of the season changes anything

1250
00:56:40,840 --> 00:56:46,919
Speaker 5: amongst lawmakers, amongst legislators, amongst Congress. It doesn't do enough.

1251
00:56:47,120 --> 00:56:49,920
Speaker 5: That's not enough to actually change police systems, which have

1252
00:56:50,040 --> 00:56:53,839
Speaker 5: to be torn down and built up. So shooting people

1253
00:56:54,040 --> 00:56:57,279
Speaker 5: isn't the first and second option, but the absolute last option.

1254
00:56:57,520 --> 00:57:00,759
Speaker 5: As jd Is said in the past, you have have

1255
00:57:00,960 --> 00:57:04,480
Speaker 5: to actually tear it down to build it back up.

1256
00:57:04,880 --> 00:57:08,360
Speaker 5: And so more pressure from all corners of the country

1257
00:57:08,440 --> 00:57:10,440
Speaker 5: has to it has to has to happen, and it's

1258
00:57:10,680 --> 00:57:15,080
Speaker 5: it's really really sad what's happening in Kenosha, Wisconsin, not

1259
00:57:15,400 --> 00:57:19,200
Speaker 5: just what happened shooting a man seven times in the back,

1260
00:57:19,520 --> 00:57:23,240
Speaker 5: but also the follow where it's just a it's a

1261
00:57:23,320 --> 00:57:26,240
Speaker 5: battleground for people who can't see that this was a

1262
00:57:26,360 --> 00:57:30,000
Speaker 5: man that now it's it's more a political issue in

1263
00:57:30,080 --> 00:57:35,320
Speaker 5: that people are are continuing to fight at this you know,

1264
00:57:35,440 --> 00:57:39,160
Speaker 5: this gas station where there was these a shootout essentially,

1265
00:57:39,240 --> 00:57:42,520
Speaker 5: and more people died, and so it's it's not just

1266
00:57:43,280 --> 00:57:47,040
Speaker 5: it is great to hear Fred van Vliet and George

1267
00:57:47,120 --> 00:57:52,360
Speaker 5: Hill and Jalen Brown. Those statements were gut wrenching, but

1268
00:57:52,840 --> 00:57:56,080
Speaker 5: I hope that it translates to every person in this

1269
00:57:56,200 --> 00:57:59,120
Speaker 5: country that things have to change. Everything has to change.

1270
00:57:59,800 --> 00:58:03,440
Speaker 5: And so yeah, it's it's, it's it's it's gonna be

1271
00:58:03,440 --> 00:58:05,720
Speaker 5: a slow, slow effect. And guys walking away from a

1272
00:58:05,760 --> 00:58:09,840
Speaker 5: game on Thursday it might be a tiny, tiny signal

1273
00:58:10,120 --> 00:58:14,080
Speaker 5: to everybody. But I wonder what the conversations are behind

1274
00:58:14,240 --> 00:58:18,240
Speaker 5: closed doors, if it's even going to be bigger or

1275
00:58:18,520 --> 00:58:20,880
Speaker 5: things that need to be bigger, because it's the stuff.

1276
00:58:20,920 --> 00:58:23,600
Speaker 5: It's not the jerseys, it's the stuff that happens behind

1277
00:58:23,640 --> 00:58:25,600
Speaker 5: closed doors that's really going to change things.

1278
00:58:25,920 --> 00:58:28,440
Speaker 1: We'll see what those both the Celtics, Raptors or other

1279
00:58:28,480 --> 00:58:30,600
Speaker 1: teams decide to do. For sure. We got tweeted the

1280
00:58:30,640 --> 00:58:32,240
Speaker 1: night still to get to We got a fun one

1281

Speaker 1: to dissect. We'll look ahead to the games. But first,

1282
00:58:35,360 --> 00:58:38,160

01:00:08,760 --> 01:00:11,560
Speaker 1: Awesome. Let's get to tweet of the night.

1310
01:00:13,480 --> 01:00:16,920
Speaker 5: Tweet over night Wow Twitter.

1311
01:00:19,160 --> 01:00:23,240
Speaker 4: Ohahlely So Tweet of the night is actually a video,

1312
01:00:23,320 --> 01:00:25,800
Speaker 4: but skeeze before you freak out. It's audio, so it's

1313
01:00:25,840 --> 01:00:29,360
Speaker 4: gonna work okay in the podcast video okay, And it

1314
01:00:30,000 --> 01:00:32,400
Speaker 4: comes from NBA Twitter Live, which is an NBA and

1315
01:00:32,480 --> 01:00:35,760
Speaker 4: T and T production. Yep, Kawhi Leonard had another great game.

1316
01:00:35,760 --> 01:00:37,520
Speaker 4: We've already talked about that last night, but this video

1317
01:00:37,920 --> 01:00:41,640
Speaker 4: features Channing Fry, Taylor Brooks, and Spencer Dinwiddie and Dinwoody

1318
01:00:41,760 --> 01:00:45,560
Speaker 4: is talking about where Kawhi Leonard stands right now and

1319
01:00:45,640 --> 01:00:47,800
Speaker 4: as great as he is and he has been, but

1320
01:00:47,880 --> 01:00:51,400
Speaker 4: there's one reason that he may not ever enter the

1321
01:00:51,480 --> 01:00:52,520
Speaker 4: true goat conversation.

1322
01:00:53,800 --> 01:00:56,120
Speaker 6: Bright if he was in the business of trying to

1323
01:00:56,160 --> 01:00:58,760
Speaker 6: be the greatest of all time, to Channing's point, probably

1324
01:00:58,800 --> 01:01:02,360
Speaker 6: having a little bit more regular season production, a little

1325
01:01:02,360 --> 01:01:04,240
Speaker 6: bit more flash, a little bit more pizazzed, and then

1326
01:01:04,400 --> 01:01:07,160
Speaker 6: also he probably just stays signed with Nike. Nike is

1327
01:01:07,160 --> 01:01:09,720
Speaker 6: the greatest marketing company in the history of the world,

1328
01:01:09,800 --> 01:01:11,720
Speaker 6: especially as it pertains to the greatest of all time

1329
01:01:11,760 --> 01:01:14,120
Speaker 6: basketball conversation. If you look at all the best athletes

1330
01:01:14,400 --> 01:01:16,440
Speaker 6: that have come through, and people say are in the

1331
01:01:16,520 --> 01:01:20,800
Speaker 6: goat conversation, what's the common denominator Nike? Krimodul Jabbar was Adidas,

1332
01:01:20,960 --> 01:01:22,920
Speaker 6: and he's by far the best basket player of all time.

1333
01:01:22,920 --> 01:01:25,480
Speaker 6: If we look at high school, college pro nobody.

1334
01:01:25,200 --> 01:01:26,600
Speaker 5: Cares about him at all.

1335
01:01:26,960 --> 01:01:31,120
Speaker 1: Oh, let's be real here, it's the truth.

1336
01:01:31,840 --> 01:01:32,440
Speaker 5: It's the truth.

1337
01:01:32,760 --> 01:01:37,200
Speaker 6: Is Lebron, Kobe, Mike, they tell the story better than

1338
01:01:37,360 --> 01:01:40,920
Speaker 6: anybody else. Kawhi with New Balance. They're gonna bury him.

1339
01:01:40,960 --> 01:01:44,160
Speaker 6: He'll never be in the Greatest of all Time conversation.

1340
01:01:44,680 --> 01:01:46,680
Speaker 6: Like they're going to bury him. You will never hear

1341
01:01:46,720 --> 01:01:49,160
Speaker 6: about it. The next person they're breeding up and pushing.

1342
01:01:49,240 --> 01:01:51,440
Speaker 6: Now Yiannis the freak too, Like that's what's going on,

1343
01:01:51,880 --> 01:01:54,720
Speaker 6: you know what I mean? Like that it's written like

1344
01:01:54,840 --> 01:01:56,720
Speaker 6: it is literally written, and this is the path that

1345
01:01:56,800 --> 01:01:58,600
Speaker 6: these people are on, they just have to do their

1346
01:01:58,640 --> 01:02:00,160
Speaker 6: part in terms of on the court, you know what

1347
01:02:00,160 --> 01:02:02,960
Speaker 6: I'm saying. So you can't obviously discredit anything that Lebron

1348
01:02:03,080 --> 01:02:05,600
Speaker 6: or anybody else that is in that situation is done

1349
01:02:05,720 --> 01:02:08,520
Speaker 6: because they have to actually produce. But like you have

1350
01:02:08,640 --> 01:02:11,000
Speaker 6: to have the machine behind you making sure that everybody

1351
01:02:11,120 --> 01:02:13,480
Speaker 6: is you're constantly on the forefront of people's minds. Because

1352
01:02:13,560 --> 01:02:16,040
Speaker 6: you're not, you're forgotten about. And if you're a robot

1353
01:02:16,160 --> 01:02:18,240
Speaker 6: like Kawhi, is no matter if you have probably the

1354
01:02:18,320 --> 01:02:21,600
Speaker 6: single greatest feed in NBA history because three files, MVPs,

1355
01:02:21,880 --> 01:02:26,080
Speaker 6: three championships with three different teams. I mean, if Lebron

1356
01:02:26,160 --> 01:02:27,560
Speaker 6: does it, they're solidifying him as the goat.

1357
01:02:28,560 --> 01:02:28,840
Speaker 1: Wow.

1358
01:02:29,320 --> 01:02:32,360
Speaker 4: So interesting interesting take there from Spencer Din when you

1359
01:02:32,400 --> 01:02:33,640
Speaker 4: I think he had a couple of points. The one

1360
01:02:33,680 --> 01:02:36,200
Speaker 4: I wanted to address first. So is Kareem Abdul Jabab.

1361
01:02:36,560 --> 01:02:38,920
Speaker 4: Some do consider him the greatest full time, but I

1362
01:02:39,040 --> 01:02:42,200
Speaker 4: don't think it's because he was sponsored by Adidas or

1363
01:02:42,200 --> 01:02:44,720
Speaker 4: not not, because Night didn't really even exist back then

1364
01:02:44,760 --> 01:02:46,520
Speaker 4: when he was at his peak. I think it's more

1365
01:02:46,640 --> 01:02:48,400
Speaker 4: just the sands of time we move on, you know,

1366
01:02:48,480 --> 01:02:51,080
Speaker 4: Kareem was a great player, but the game has just

1367
01:02:51,200 --> 01:02:53,160
Speaker 4: changed so much, a completely different eraor that he just

1368
01:02:53,240 --> 01:02:55,640
Speaker 4: you know, it's just it's natural that the younger generation

1369
01:02:55,800 --> 01:02:58,200
Speaker 4: come through don't know so much about a guy like

1370
01:02:58,320 --> 01:03:00,800
Speaker 4: Kareem and sort of see the skyhook and that's kind

1371
01:03:00,840 --> 01:03:02,680
Speaker 4: of it. He doesn't light up the highlight reel with

1372
01:03:02,760 --> 01:03:06,000
Speaker 4: all these other plays. I think that's more where Kareem sits.

1373
01:03:06,080 --> 01:03:10,440
Speaker 4: I think most basketball historians have Kareem top five anyway

1374
01:03:10,720 --> 01:03:13,600
Speaker 4: still around that area. But things have changed and things

1375
01:03:13,640 --> 01:03:14,040
Speaker 4: have moved on.

1376
01:03:14,160 --> 01:03:14,320
Speaker 2: Now.

1377
01:03:14,640 --> 01:03:17,280
Speaker 4: As far as his Kawhi Leonard taken and not being

1378
01:03:17,360 --> 01:03:20,600
Speaker 4: with Nike, I think there is some validity to that.

1379
01:03:20,920 --> 01:03:23,080
Speaker 4: I think there's no question that Nike has such a

1380
01:03:23,680 --> 01:03:27,000
Speaker 4: powerful PR campaign behind their athletes that it certainly projects

1381
01:03:27,080 --> 01:03:30,240
Speaker 4: them more so than a new balanced athlete will get

1382
01:03:30,320 --> 01:03:32,760
Speaker 4: for sure, no matter no matter what Kawhi chiefs now,

1383
01:03:33,080 --> 01:03:35,360
Speaker 4: he's assuming, of course, that the Clippers win the championship

1384
01:03:35,400 --> 01:03:38,000
Speaker 4: issue in Kauai gets MVP finals MPP. Now, Kawi could

1385
01:03:38,040 --> 01:03:41,200
Speaker 4: win three four championships still more and I think that

1386
01:03:41,520 --> 01:03:45,200
Speaker 4: to me is still going to have heaviest sway overall

1387
01:03:46,200 --> 01:03:48,800
Speaker 4: than a shoe company. Yes, yes, I do so. I

1388
01:03:48,880 --> 01:03:50,720
Speaker 4: think Kawhi is young enough that he could still win

1389
01:03:51,000 --> 01:03:54,240
Speaker 4: multiple championships, and if he wins five or six, then

1390
01:03:54,320 --> 01:03:57,160
Speaker 4: I think that's going to elevate him into that conversation

1391
01:03:57,640 --> 01:03:58,480
Speaker 4: no matter what shoes.

1392
01:03:58,520 --> 01:04:01,040
Speaker 1: But there are some truth to what Dinwoody is saying

1393
01:04:01,360 --> 01:04:05,320
Speaker 1: of not being with Nike the ultimate pr machine. Yes,

1394
01:04:05,400 --> 01:04:07,560
Speaker 1: and I believe you at the forefront of everyone's conversation.

1395
01:04:07,680 --> 01:04:10,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I agree with that, pop, But I think

1396
01:04:10,560 --> 01:04:14,360
Speaker 4: winning is what's ultimately going to go to put him

1397
01:04:14,360 --> 01:04:15,760
Speaker 4: in the conversation, right.

1398
01:04:15,800 --> 01:04:17,800
Speaker 1: I mean the counter is Tim Duncan was with Nike,

1399
01:04:19,400 --> 01:04:21,440
Speaker 1: not even a counter. I guess this is actually almost

1400
01:04:21,520 --> 01:04:23,680
Speaker 1: goes to what Dinwoody is saying. He was with Nike,

1401
01:04:25,280 --> 01:04:29,640
Speaker 1: but nobody puts him in the goat conversation because he's not. Sorry,

1402
01:04:29,800 --> 01:04:31,320
Speaker 1: I had nothing to do with the shoes. It's because

1403
01:04:31,360 --> 01:04:33,880
Speaker 1: it's the guy and Tim Duncan is not marketable. Kawhi

1404
01:04:33,960 --> 01:04:36,880
Speaker 1: Leonard is not really marketable. It's their personality. That's fine,

1405
01:04:36,920 --> 01:04:39,040
Speaker 1: you don't need to be, but that's the reason why

1406
01:04:39,160 --> 01:04:41,720
Speaker 1: not Maybe as much who you're wearing on your on

1407
01:04:41,800 --> 01:04:45,360
Speaker 1: your feet, the shoe company you have, Maybe maybe Treya

1408
01:04:45,480 --> 01:04:46,120
Speaker 1: you're the soul man.

1409
01:04:46,160 --> 01:04:48,480
Speaker 3: What do you think, Well, Michael Jordan's the greatest of

1410
01:04:48,520 --> 01:04:50,840
Speaker 3: all time because he won six championships and he had

1411
01:04:50,920 --> 01:04:53,880
Speaker 3: six finals MVP. And the reason Nike is what they

1412
01:04:53,920 --> 01:04:55,960
Speaker 3: are is because Michael Jordan is what he was. So

1413
01:04:56,360 --> 01:04:58,920
Speaker 3: to me, the the argument makes sense a little bit.

1414
01:04:59,000 --> 01:05:01,960
Speaker 3: Nike has an incredible marketing machine, but the winning is

1415
01:05:02,000 --> 01:05:04,360
Speaker 3: the biggest part of it, you know, the winning and

1416
01:05:04,520 --> 01:05:08,040
Speaker 3: the being charismatic. And I also think that Dinwoody hit

1417
01:05:08,080 --> 01:05:10,560
Speaker 3: on something very early in this that is getting overshadowed

1418
01:05:10,560 --> 01:05:13,360
Speaker 3: by the Nike Adidas talk is that Michael Jordan played

1419
01:05:13,360 --> 01:05:15,000
Speaker 3: eighty two games a season and tried to win every

1420
01:05:15,040 --> 01:05:17,080
Speaker 3: single one of them. Kawhi Leonard, He's happy to give

1421
01:05:17,120 --> 01:05:19,000
Speaker 3: you sixty. You can't be the greatest of all time

1422
01:05:19,000 --> 01:05:21,640
Speaker 3: if you're not playing full regular seasons. Those games actually

1423
01:05:21,760 --> 01:05:22,560
Speaker 3: still matter.

1424
01:05:22,760 --> 01:05:23,280
Speaker 1: A little bit.

1425
01:05:23,440 --> 01:05:26,320
Speaker 3: But I do think it's weird that we're talking about

1426
01:05:26,360 --> 01:05:28,320
Speaker 3: where Lebron and Kawhi are going to fall on the

1427
01:05:28,360 --> 01:05:30,000
Speaker 3: greatest of all time list. If they pull off the

1428
01:05:30,120 --> 01:05:33,720
Speaker 3: exact same feet three championships with three finals MVPs, I'll

1429
01:05:33,720 --> 01:05:36,880
Speaker 3: still take six over three or four fair tas.

1430
01:05:37,040 --> 01:05:37,960
Speaker 1: So what would you add to this.

1431
01:05:38,880 --> 01:05:40,840
Speaker 5: Well, I think Spencer did what he said two things

1432
01:05:40,880 --> 01:05:45,440
Speaker 5: at the exact same time. He said that Kawhi not

1433
01:05:45,640 --> 01:05:48,240
Speaker 5: being on Nike hurts, which is one hundred percent true,

1434
01:05:49,040 --> 01:05:52,040
Speaker 5: and I think it did hurt Kareem Abdul Jabbar back then.

1435
01:05:52,080 --> 01:05:54,200
Speaker 5: But at the same time, yeah, he doesn't have the pizzaz,

1436
01:05:54,640 --> 01:05:58,680
Speaker 5: which also hurts. So it's a bunch those two things

1437
01:05:58,880 --> 01:06:03,320
Speaker 5: at the same time. And Kareem Abdul Jabbar didn't have

1438
01:06:03,520 --> 01:06:07,440
Speaker 5: that demonstrative, in your face type of personality on the

1439
01:06:07,520 --> 01:06:11,840
Speaker 5: floor or the game, and so that's why people loved

1440
01:06:11,960 --> 01:06:15,320
Speaker 5: MJ because he had both. And yeah, Nike took him

1441
01:06:15,360 --> 01:06:18,360
Speaker 5: to another level and he took Nike to another level.

1442
01:06:18,440 --> 01:06:22,160
Speaker 5: So yeah, it works in both. It goes hand in hand.

1443
01:06:22,360 --> 01:06:25,120
Speaker 5: And he needed a Kareem ned a little more pizaz.

1444
01:06:25,600 --> 01:06:29,200
Speaker 5: And I don't think it's recency biased that because MJ,

1445
01:06:29,440 --> 01:06:32,320
Speaker 5: you know, hasn't been around for a long time. It's

1446
01:06:32,480 --> 01:06:36,360
Speaker 5: just that all the accolades are sticking around. They're still

1447
01:06:37,000 --> 01:06:39,440
Speaker 5: they're still yees. Six for six is is very important

1448
01:06:39,480 --> 01:06:42,800
Speaker 5: in people's eyes. People like when they're watching basketball, they

1449
01:06:42,880 --> 01:06:47,440
Speaker 5: don't want a team guy. Though, the guys who stand

1450
01:06:47,480 --> 01:06:51,080
Speaker 5: out are the guys who did had individual achievements and

1451
01:06:51,520 --> 01:06:55,760
Speaker 5: are spunky and you know, are outspoken, and so those

1452
01:06:56,400 --> 01:06:59,640
Speaker 5: those ranked people higher than others. But yeah, I understand

1453
01:06:59,640 --> 01:07:02,720
Speaker 5: what's spent or Dinwitdi's there's the purists. That's the purest standpoint.

1454
01:07:02,800 --> 01:07:05,240
Speaker 5: It's the the KD sort of point of view that

1455
01:07:06,000 --> 01:07:08,439
Speaker 5: looking at it. It's not about the talk and about

1456
01:07:08,480 --> 01:07:10,520
Speaker 5: the chatter and about the shoes. It's about what you

1457
01:07:10,640 --> 01:07:13,360
Speaker 5: did on the court. So Kareem. Yeah, the argument for

1458
01:07:13,800 --> 01:07:16,160
Speaker 5: the few people that like Kareem there's there's a few

1459
01:07:16,240 --> 01:07:18,320
Speaker 5: of them, but they're all the sort of the purists,

1460
01:07:18,320 --> 01:07:22,960
Speaker 5: and they're not the general fan that Spencer Dinwiddie is

1461
01:07:23,120 --> 01:07:25,720
Speaker 5: talking to. He's not going to influence He's not going

1462
01:07:25,800 --> 01:07:29,120
Speaker 5: to influence people by saying that. It's just not it's

1463
01:07:29,280 --> 01:07:31,160
Speaker 5: not going to be the case because of what people

1464
01:07:31,320 --> 01:07:33,880
Speaker 5: value when they watch basketball games. I don't think New

1465
01:07:33,880 --> 01:07:36,800
Speaker 5: Balance is going to quote unquote bury him. They're trying

1466
01:07:36,880 --> 01:07:38,520
Speaker 5: to make him a fun guy.

1467
01:07:38,960 --> 01:07:39,120
Speaker 6: Yeah.

1468
01:07:39,160 --> 01:07:41,240
Speaker 3: I would say we talk more about Kawhi Leonard since

1469
01:07:41,240 --> 01:07:43,800
Speaker 3: he's been with New Balance than when he was with

1470
01:07:43,960 --> 01:07:47,000
Speaker 3: Jordan Brand. You know, he gets more Jordan comparisons now

1471
01:07:47,080 --> 01:07:49,640
Speaker 3: than he did when he was actually wearing Jordan's shoes.

1472
01:07:49,840 --> 01:07:52,760
Speaker 3: And it's because he won another title and he's got

1473
01:07:52,800 --> 01:07:55,360
Speaker 3: a chance to win another title. And another thing, Spencer

1474
01:07:55,400 --> 01:07:57,880
Speaker 3: Dinwiddie is right about. Kreem Abdul Jabbar is probably the

1475
01:07:57,920 --> 01:08:00,320
Speaker 3: most underrated superstar in league history at this point. The

1476
01:08:00,360 --> 01:08:03,560
Speaker 3: guy's the all time leading scorer. Like Dinwoody was saying,

1477
01:08:03,600 --> 01:08:05,160
Speaker 3: he was the best high school player when he was

1478
01:08:05,200 --> 01:08:07,640
Speaker 3: in high school, he's maybe the greatest college player of

1479
01:08:07,720 --> 01:08:08,120
Speaker 3: all time.

1480
01:08:08,520 --> 01:08:11,640
Speaker 1: And now he's possibly in the top five in the NBA.

1481
01:08:11,760 --> 01:08:15,640
Speaker 1: He should be third at the lowest right. Yeah, yeah,

1482
01:08:15,800 --> 01:08:18,120
Speaker 1: I agree with all that. I thought I saw Stephan

1483
01:08:18,160 --> 01:08:20,360
Speaker 1: Bondi tweeting two about all this. You know, Burd and

1484
01:08:20,479 --> 01:08:23,640
Speaker 1: Magic were converse guys and they were the faces of

1485
01:08:23,680 --> 01:08:26,200
Speaker 1: the league for a decade. They were marketable, They had

1486
01:08:26,280 --> 01:08:29,240
Speaker 1: personality and it wasn't Nike. Of course. Iverson and Shack

1487
01:08:29,320 --> 01:08:32,599
Speaker 1: were Rebot guys and they were like pushed like crazy again,

1488
01:08:33,200 --> 01:08:36,760
Speaker 1: super personal person personal guys and personality to them like

1489
01:08:37,000 --> 01:08:40,280
Speaker 1: to the next degree with Shaq for sure. So yeah,

1490
01:08:40,520 --> 01:08:42,880
Speaker 1: but I mean it's interesting. I just think it's an

1491
01:08:42,920 --> 01:08:46,479
Speaker 1: interesting argument. He's basically saying, co I will never be

1492
01:08:47,720 --> 01:08:49,880
Speaker 1: considered the goat no matter what he does because he's

1493
01:08:49,880 --> 01:08:54,720
Speaker 1: not with Nike. Yeah, that's wild, but maybe there's some

1494
01:08:54,840 --> 01:08:56,920
Speaker 1: crazy truth to it. But is he not with Nike

1495
01:08:57,040 --> 01:09:00,639
Speaker 1: because of his own personality and that They're like, well,

1496
01:09:00,680 --> 01:09:02,880
Speaker 1: we were not going to sell a million shoes. I'm

1497
01:09:02,880 --> 01:09:04,719
Speaker 1: sorry with just the way you are, and that's fine.

1498
01:09:04,760 --> 01:09:06,920
Speaker 1: You know, we were going to roll with the Kobe's

1499
01:09:06,920 --> 01:09:08,479
Speaker 1: and the Little Bronz and the mjs of the world,

1500
01:09:08,560 --> 01:09:11,160
Speaker 1: and that's it's prooved to work for Nike. It turns

1501
01:09:11,200 --> 01:09:13,360
Speaker 1: out they make some money off those guys.

1502
01:09:13,520 --> 01:09:15,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, but Steph Curry was also the biggest star in

1503
01:09:15,560 --> 01:09:18,120
Speaker 3: basketball wearing under armours until they put out a pair

1504
01:09:18,160 --> 01:09:21,040
Speaker 3: of trash shoes and he lost in the finals, and

1505
01:09:21,640 --> 01:09:24,040
Speaker 3: that's when things changed for under Armor. Right, you can

1506
01:09:24,120 --> 01:09:26,320
Speaker 3: be the most famous guy in the league wearing shoes

1507
01:09:26,360 --> 01:09:29,360
Speaker 3: that aren't Nikes. You just got to be winning championships.

1508
01:09:29,720 --> 01:09:31,160
Speaker 1: Is Spencer Dinwitty a Nike guy?

1509
01:09:31,400 --> 01:09:33,439
Speaker 3: No, He has his own pair of shoes that he designs.

1510
01:09:33,439 --> 01:09:35,719
Speaker 3: They're called like kyos or something like that. He changes

1511
01:09:35,760 --> 01:09:36,400
Speaker 3: them for every game.

1512
01:09:36,720 --> 01:09:39,720
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, and I like that fact that guys like

1513
01:09:39,960 --> 01:09:42,400
Speaker 5: him or Kawhi are trying to do their own thing

1514
01:09:42,520 --> 01:09:45,600
Speaker 5: because it just breeds more competition for Nike, like they are.

1515
01:09:46,200 --> 01:09:49,000
Speaker 5: It's just it's an extension of what guys are trying

1516
01:09:49,040 --> 01:09:51,759
Speaker 5: to do by going to their own teams and starting

1517
01:09:51,840 --> 01:09:55,639
Speaker 5: their own things, starting their you know, the super team

1518
01:09:55,720 --> 01:09:57,599
Speaker 5: in Brooklyn. It's all an extension of the same thing,

1519
01:09:57,720 --> 01:09:59,680
Speaker 5: like I'm going to do more and so yeah, it

1520
01:09:59,800 --> 01:10:04,200
Speaker 5: just creates more competition. And it is true. Kawhi was

1521
01:10:04,439 --> 01:10:09,000
Speaker 5: buried in his previous basketball shoe life. Now that he

1522
01:10:09,160 --> 01:10:13,040
Speaker 5: is with New Balance, he's he's a mushroom. He's a

1523
01:10:13,080 --> 01:10:16,240
Speaker 5: real fun guy. Oh boy, I will say.

1524
01:10:16,080 --> 01:10:18,080
Speaker 1: You know, we've watched so much basketball. We're seeing the

1525
01:10:18,160 --> 01:10:20,840
Speaker 1: same commercials over and over and over and over again.

1526
01:10:20,880 --> 01:10:23,240
Speaker 1: I know you guys agree with me. I don't mind

1527
01:10:23,280 --> 01:10:25,080
Speaker 1: the New Balance one I see every time with Kawhi.

1528
01:10:25,120 --> 01:10:27,760
Speaker 1: I actually oddly like that commercial, that little piano one.

1529
01:10:28,320 --> 01:10:31,160
Speaker 1: It's not bad. Yeah, I like it every time I

1530
01:10:31,200 --> 01:10:32,280
Speaker 1: see him. This is great.

1531
01:10:32,320 --> 01:10:34,559
Speaker 3: This is perfect for Kawhi and the new shoes he's

1532
01:10:34,560 --> 01:10:36,479
Speaker 3: got out that can think they're called the four Bounces

1533
01:10:36,560 --> 01:10:38,120
Speaker 3: or something pretty good.

1534
01:10:38,320 --> 01:10:39,439
Speaker 1: They look pretty good.

1535
01:10:39,640 --> 01:10:42,320
Speaker 3: Quite an improvement to the Matt Bonner New Balance days,

1536
01:10:42,760 --> 01:10:44,320
Speaker 3: were they just throwing in on the side of a

1537
01:10:44,400 --> 01:10:45,920
Speaker 3: generic shoe and call it today.

1538
01:10:46,280 --> 01:10:49,200
Speaker 1: Oh dare you? Dare you mad? All right, so let's

1539
01:10:49,240 --> 01:10:52,200
Speaker 1: hear from you guys, both in the YouTube comments of course,

1540
01:10:52,800 --> 01:10:55,600
Speaker 1: and everybody that yeah, sorry, just.

1541
01:10:55,600 --> 01:10:57,720
Speaker 4: One thing too quickly. I just actually got a pair

01:10:57,760 --> 01:11:00,640
Speaker 4: of Pole George's in the mail try and this is

1543
01:11:00,720 --> 01:11:04,679

01:11:04,720 --> 01:11:06,479
Speaker 4: would you wear a pair of pool job, we'll put

1546
01:11:09,040 --> 01:11:11,519

1547
01:11:11,560 --> 01:11:14,600
Speaker 4: to me, and really that the Trey Kurvey specialist. I

1548
01:11:14,680 --> 01:11:15,040
Speaker 4: tell you what.

1549
01:11:15,720 --> 01:11:18,680
Speaker 3: Well, Paul George loves fishing, so I'd love to wear

1550
01:11:18,720 --> 01:11:21,720
Speaker 3: them and fall in the lake. Well you're still on

1551

1552
01:11:25,320 --> 01:11:25,479
Speaker 6: Yeah?

1553
01:11:25,640 --> 01:11:27,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, for you, and then you're betting against them.

1554
01:11:27,720 --> 01:11:30,280
Speaker 4: Come on, yeah, I'm just trying to help out you.

1555
01:11:30,360 --> 01:11:32,240
Speaker 4: I know you've got to spend six thousand dollars on

1556
01:11:32,320 --> 01:11:32,599
Speaker 4: your train.

1557
01:11:32,720 --> 01:11:35,800
Speaker 1: So yeah, let's wrap this up so I don't find

1558
01:11:35,800 --> 01:11:37,439
Speaker 1: out how much is it cost me to put a

1559
01:11:37,760 --> 01:11:40,840
Speaker 1: put a French drain inside? That's what we got today.

1560
01:11:41,880 --> 01:11:43,559
Speaker 5: Well, I'm going to try and get you some more

1561
01:11:43,680 --> 01:11:46,559
Speaker 5: money for your Frenchy drain here, skeet. So we got

1562
01:11:46,600 --> 01:11:50,479
Speaker 5: a triple header today. It starts with Orlando and Milwaukee

1563
01:11:50,600 --> 01:11:54,320
Speaker 5: on NBA TV, then two games on TNT. Okay see Houston,

1564
01:11:54,720 --> 01:11:56,800
Speaker 5: Portland and the Lakers. But let's jump back to that

1565
01:11:56,960 --> 01:12:01,439
Speaker 5: NBA TV game because Orlando and Milwaukee. I'm going to

1566
01:12:01,479 --> 01:12:04,519
Speaker 5: be watching the closest today because those latter two games

1567
01:12:04,680 --> 01:12:07,320
Speaker 5: couple injuries. No Russell Westbrook for sure in the last

1568
01:12:07,400 --> 01:12:09,360
Speaker 5: in the second game, and no Damian Lillard for sure

1569
01:12:09,400 --> 01:12:12,720
Speaker 5: in that game against the Lakers. Obviously going to be

1570
01:12:12,760 --> 01:12:15,000
Speaker 5: a blowout I assume by the Lakers, but I want

1571
01:12:15,040 --> 01:12:18,080
Speaker 5: to see how Milwaukee closes this thing out. I assume

1572
01:12:18,080 --> 01:12:19,559
Speaker 5: they're going to close it out, but I think they

1573
01:12:19,680 --> 01:12:22,559
Speaker 5: need a really good game to take them into Round

1574
01:12:22,640 --> 01:12:25,840
Speaker 5: two against the Miami Heat because they have not been

1575
01:12:25,920 --> 01:12:28,200
Speaker 5: good and I don't think they want to play coming

1576
01:12:28,240 --> 01:12:30,200
Speaker 5: from behind against the Miami Heat. And if they're not

1577
01:12:30,240 --> 01:12:33,120
Speaker 5: playing well, Miami is going to jump on them immediately

1578
01:12:33,240 --> 01:12:36,080
Speaker 5: in that series because that's who Miami is. So I

1579
01:12:36,120 --> 01:12:38,720
Speaker 5: think they're going to be playing hard and it's going

1580
01:12:38,760 --> 01:12:41,479
Speaker 5: to be an extension of game four where Chris Middleton,

1581
01:12:41,880 --> 01:12:44,679
Speaker 5: and that brings us to our bet. Chris Middleton should

1582
01:12:44,760 --> 01:12:47,599
Speaker 5: be shooting his butt off in this game, so put

1583
01:12:47,680 --> 01:12:51,880
Speaker 5: up some numbers, make a bet. I desperately don't want

1584
01:12:51,920 --> 01:12:55,160
Speaker 5: to see you out of pocket six grand. So let's

1585
01:12:55,200 --> 01:12:57,599
Speaker 5: see how much Lee wants to give you for Chris Middleton.

1586
01:12:57,680 --> 01:12:59,679
Speaker 5: Let's see it. Let's throw throw another French.

1587
01:13:00,040 --> 01:13:02,920
Speaker 1: Ain't on ittly? What's the over?

1588
01:13:03,360 --> 01:13:05,439
Speaker 5: Drain your pockets? Middleton.

1589
01:13:06,280 --> 01:13:09,200
Speaker 4: I'll set the line today at twenty seven and a

1590
01:13:09,240 --> 01:13:10,400
Speaker 4: half at Middleton today?

1591
01:13:10,600 --> 01:13:13,280
Speaker 1: Oh what Hi, it's a little higher than I would

1592
01:13:13,280 --> 01:13:15,040
Speaker 1: have liked, but I'll get you down to a twenty

1593
01:13:15,160 --> 01:13:15,800
Speaker 1: five and a half.

1594
01:13:16,360 --> 01:13:18,240
Speaker 4: Twenty five and a half, all right, let's do twenty

1595
01:13:18,280 --> 01:13:19,240
Speaker 4: five here? Can fine?

1596
01:13:19,240 --> 01:13:21,120
Speaker 1: Alright? Twenty five and a half will put ten bucks

1597
01:13:21,160 --> 01:13:21,560
Speaker 1: back on it?

1598
01:13:21,840 --> 01:13:22,040
Speaker 2: Yeah?

1599
01:13:22,160 --> 01:13:22,479
Speaker 4: Why not?

1600
01:13:22,800 --> 01:13:23,080
Speaker 3: All right?

1601
01:13:23,080 --> 01:13:25,280
Speaker 1: I got the over. Middleton's going for twenty six or more.

1602
01:13:25,640 --> 01:13:28,840
Speaker 1: You say he's still stay relatively cold. Other than twenty

1603
01:13:28,880 --> 01:13:30,400
Speaker 1: five would be a good game, but okay, twenty five

1604
01:13:30,439 --> 01:13:34,280
Speaker 1: and under for you? Domb okay? Great? Virtually.

1605
01:13:35,280 --> 01:13:37,000
Speaker 4: I hope you wouldn't get mad, because I'm gonna feel
