31
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:49,640

32
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:49,920

34
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:54,040

35
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 2: that Daniel faces.

36
00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 1: Really Yeah. Wow, Okay, Okay, I.

37
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 3: Have the lawn if I'm being honest with regards to uh,

38
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 3: the two parties involved.

39
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 1: Okay, we're gonna check out. Is this good? When you're

40
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,360
Speaker 1: done with this one? Here we are four games into

41
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 1: the first round. Uh, you know, for most of them,

42
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,640
Speaker 1: at least with a surprising amount of clarity. We got

43
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 1: the Nuggets, the Knicks, the Celtics, Suns. They're all up

44
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 1: through one sixers. As I said, they finished off their

45
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 1: sweep this weekend. Just one series. Warriors Kings tied at

46
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 1: two to two, and we have two two to one

47
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 1: series and they go down tonight and I say that

48
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 1: because that first one seven thirty pm Eastern on TNT,

49
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 1: we got an NBA watch party on Playback. It's Game

50
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 1: four between the Bucks and the Heat. Are either of

51
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 1: those guys in that graphic I made playing?

52
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 3: Oh?

53
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 2: I think they're both playing, Okay, good. I would be

54
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 2: shocked Ifaidobo doesn't play in a must win game here

55
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 2: in game four. That's the best team in the NBA

56
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 2: in a situation where they're in a must win scenario

57
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 2: here and in the first round because they're down two one,

58
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:08,640
Speaker 2: Yannis is playing. There's no doubt.

59
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,960

Speaker 1: and we chat away and hopefully we got an entertaining game.

66
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 1: But we're gonna talk about all eight of these series here,

67
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:30,519
Speaker 1: so we got to move with some pace. Let's start

68
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 1: in the Western Conference, and let's start with that two

69
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:36,119
Speaker 1: to two series on Sunday. There, Curry and the Warriors

70
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 1: hold off the Kings, I mean hold them off one

71
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 1: twenty six to one twenty five to even that series

72
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 1: at two games apiece as we then head back to Sacramento.

73
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 1: But holy crap, this series is delivering. So these are

74
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: entertaining games and a wild ending in this one.

75
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 2: It's so awesome that all the hype leading into this series,

76
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 2: first series for the Kings in so long against the

77
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 2: defending champs, has absolutely lived up to expectations. And you

78
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 2: get the perfect dram gonna start this game because Draymond

79
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 2: Green's not in the starting lineup after returning with what

80
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 2: up with that? And then the Kings have a sixty

81
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 2: eight point first half. They look amazing. Fox looks amazing.

82
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 2: So in the locker room, the Warriors say, we can't

83
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 2: stop that Fox guy. What are we gonna do? Well,

84
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 2: let's put Green in the starting lineup to start the

85
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 2: third quarter, and that slowed them down. They only had

86
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 2: a twenty three point third quarter, and at the end

87
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:25,599
Speaker 2: of the quarter that the Warriors were up ten with

88
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 2: a back breaking three it seemed like from Klay Thompson,

89
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:32,280
Speaker 2: what a swing. But the Kings aren't going anywhere. Fox

90
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 2: is on the bench for this run in the fourth

91
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:37,479
Speaker 2: quarter that they come back. Keegan Murray is alive. That's awesome,

92
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 2: and then Steph sort of takes control in the middle

93
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:42,600
Speaker 2: of the fourth quarter. Then it comes but it comes

94
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 2: down to the last few minutes. It was kind of

95
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:48,839
Speaker 2: mistake filled the last few minutes. But Draymond Green a

96
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 2: damn versatile defender. He's guarding Darren Fox, but with a

97
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 2: buck forty left, he stops Harrison Barnes and Tomatas Sabonis

98
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 2: right at the rim lets out a monstrous scream, so

99
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 2: it looks like the Warriors have it a five point

100
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:02,599
Speaker 2: lead forty seven seconds left.

101
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 1: I left. I left this my screen.

102
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,040
Speaker 2: I left my living room. I thought you were in Sacramento.

103
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 3: First, they said it was on twenty second walked right

104
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 3: up one.

105
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:13,600
Speaker 2: Seconds ago.

106
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, that's a wrap. I had to get

107
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 1: going to get down to the fortress. Yeah, there are

108
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:19,599
Speaker 1: some Hawks Celtics action. I'm like, okay, that's good.

109
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 2: Mobile Mobile.

110
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 3: I was furious. I was furious with the Hawks promotions department.

111
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 3: They emailed me, say, you got to show up early.

112
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 3: There's an at Landing United game. I missed the whole

113
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 3: fourth quarter of this one. Driving I had to catch

114
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 3: up later on spicy.

115
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 2: Why don't you're driving. You're driving with dad, driving with dad,

116
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:36,679
Speaker 2: somebody's got to hold the phone.

117
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 3: Oh well, I mean tasks a half free state. I

118
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:43,159
Speaker 3: don't want to admit anything here, but I didn't totally

119
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 3: miss the fourth quarter, if.

120
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:45,920
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying. Okay, yeah, that's totally fine.

121
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 1: Well I thought it was.

122
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:48,039
Speaker 2: I thought it was over.

123
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, sure, that's over.

124
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 2: Went over. It should have been over. Yeah, maleague monk missus.

125
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 2: Steph Curry grabs the bodies trapped and he calls the

126
00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 2: time out, but they don't have a time out remain

127
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 2: because Steve Kirk, with a couple of minutes left an

128
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:07,039
Speaker 2: ill advised challenge of Kevon Looney's foul where they lost

129
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 2: that time out. Yeah, but then Steph said after after

130
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 2: he called the timeout after the game, he said, I

131
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 2: thought that was the smartest move ever. He said, I

132
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 2: ain't gonna lie. I thought it was the smartest player

133
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 2: in the world. When I got the ball, turned saw

134
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 2: the trap and called the timeout. But he didn't. He

135
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 2: didn't have one. So a wild wild swing because it's

136
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 2: a tech free throw for the Kings and a change

137
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,840
Speaker 2: of possession. So they go hit a free throw. Now

138
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,280
Speaker 2: it's a four point game. Darren Fox step back three

139
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:35,479
Speaker 2: in Draymond Green's I it's a one point game. Then

140
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 2: Steph misses a jumper on the other end. Here we

141
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 2: go ten seconds left, Darren Fox with the ball game

142
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:44,600
Speaker 2: on the line. That's what you want if you're the Kings.

143
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:48,280
Speaker 2: Apparently Mike Brown called flat, we want it flat. Nobody

144
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:50,839
Speaker 2: come near the ball. Harrison Barnes did on his own

145
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:54,480
Speaker 2: come set a pick, and so that brings another defender,

146
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 2: and Steph and Draymond together have been together for such

147
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,479
Speaker 2: a long time. Steph did a great job of stopping Fox,

148
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:03,040
Speaker 2: getting the ball out of his hands. It goes Harrison

149
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,279
Speaker 2: Barnes who has a wide open three. It's wide open,

150
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 2: but he goes just a touch long, just a touch long,

151
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 2: huge swing another inch, and they're going back to Sacramento

152
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 2: three to one. But now we're tied it to what

153
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 2: a friggin series.

154
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 1: I sort of wish that Mike Brown and the Kings

155
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 1: didn't call a timeout at the end there, Like when

156
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 1: they got to stop on Curry, Curry had hit the ground,

157
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,679
Speaker 1: they had the ball. I mean, you had enough time

158
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 1: obviously to push it you got Fox, the fastest guy

159
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 1: in the league. They're probably scrambling a little bit more,

160
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 1: but most coaches are going to like elect to call

161
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 1: the timeout and run something. But Betty wishes he had

162
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:37,679
Speaker 1: that one back. But they got a great look, Harrison

163
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 1: Barnes had a chance, and they had a chance to

164
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 1: basically and the Warriors dynasty if that goes up through one.

165
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 3: Going back to.

166
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 1: Sacramento, I don't think a lot of people would believing

167
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 1: they could win three in a row. Instead, we have

168
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 1: a three game series here.

169
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 3: Crazy yeah, and crazy to think that Game one came

170
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 3: down to Wiggins wide open three, just like Harrison Barnes

171
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 3: that he barely missed. Just as well, then Curry took

172
00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 3: his little one footer that didn't really have a chance.

173
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 3: But very close games both ways for both of these teams. Honestly,

174
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 3: I thought great defense from Draymond because, like you're saying,

175
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 3: maybe they shouldn't have taken a time out, because that

176
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 3: gave the Warriors a chance to set up, get their

177
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 3: defense ready. Draymond to stand right where Darreon Fox wants

178
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 3: to go every time. How many times we've seen him

179
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 3: hit a fifteen footer from the left elbow. Draymond just

180
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:21,559
Speaker 3: camped there. Curry forced him into Draymond, Draymond took it away.

181
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 3: We're living with Barnes. Can he beat us? Nope? Good

182
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 3: shot from Barnes just a little bit off. So yeah,

183
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 3: this is this to me was like the epitome of

184
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:32,680
Speaker 3: the Warriors Kings games that we were expecting heading into

185
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 3: this series, because it was like not a ton of

186
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 3: defense until it really really mattered there from Draymond at

187
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 3: the end of the fourth quarter, but big shot after

188
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 3: big shot after big shot of both teams putting up

189
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 3: a ton of points one, one, five, that was That

190
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 3: was the peak thus far, and a lot of times

191
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 3: when the team that was down two to zho wins

192
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 3: two at home, gets an emotional win in Game four,

193
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 3: you're thinking that's the series right there. I don't think so.

194
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 3: Kings have played too well and they've hit back every

195
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 3: single time the Warriors have made a move in this series.

196
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 3: It's been so close both ways except for Game three basically,

197
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:11,080
Speaker 3: so I think this one's still spicy. I mean, it

198
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:13,200
Speaker 3: could be a Warriors winning six, could be a King's

199
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,560
Speaker 3: winning six, could go to seven. It doesn't feel like

200
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:17,439
Speaker 3: it's over. That was that was basketball.

201
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:19,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's no reason to doubt the Kings. I totally agree.

202
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 2: They were down ten after three quarters on the road

203
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,719
Speaker 2: in this one. They could have buckled. They came right

204
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 2: back and they won the fourth quarter by nine points.

205
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 2: They won that fourth on the road, So I don't

206
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 2: think there's any reason. I do think the Warriors are

207
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:34,679
Speaker 2: getting better as the series go goes on. Wiggins is

208
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 2: getting more comfortable. They found a better matchup with Draymond

209
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 2: Green playing defense against the Aaron Fox.

210
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:43,680
Speaker 1: Kurt has just tightened up his rotation too. It's the

211
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 1: other part of.

212
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 2: It, don't try the bad guys exactly.

213
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 1: Like less minutes for these guys to give him five

214
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:52,079
Speaker 1: six minutes, he's like, now you're out. Now the rotation completely. Yeah,

215
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:53,840
Speaker 1: probably the way to go to win the series.

216
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:56,079
Speaker 2: With greenback and you got a bad Gary Payton the

217
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:59,320
Speaker 2: second game. Although Keegan Murray did wake up in this game,

218
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:03,320
Speaker 2: his first, his first good game in four games. De

219
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:05,560
Speaker 2: monts Bonas hasn't played to his potential, so you'd hope

220
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:07,720
Speaker 2: to think that he'd have a good game five. But yeah,

221
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 2: I think it's advantaged Warriors with these last two or

222
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:12,320
Speaker 2: three games. Even though you're going back to Sacramento.

223
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 1: I think I'm glad you brought up Wigans. I saw

224
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 1: Anthony Slater at the Athletic pointing out how impactful he

225
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 1: has been, and it is crazy when you think about it.

226
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 1: This is a guy Wiggans showed up scrimmage for a

227
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 1: few times with the team, got the green light to

228
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 1: play in game one, and he hadn't been in an

229
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:31,200
Speaker 1: NBA game in NBA environment since Valentine's Day. Here he

230
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:33,959
Speaker 1: is in Game one, seventeen points, three boards, four blocks,

231
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 1: Game two twenty two points, five boards of steal in

232
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 1: nearly forty minutes. Game three twenty points, seven boards, three assists,

233
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 1: one block, thirty four minutes. And then Game four, another

234
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 1: great game, and he seems to get a little bit

235
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 1: better here eighteen points, eight boards, three assists, four blocks

236
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 1: and two steals in again nearly forty minutes because he's

237
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 1: tightened up the rotation. They're thirty eight minutes in game four.

238
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:57,719
Speaker 1: It was like gone for months. He a sort of

239
00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 1: speaks to like, how the athletic freak he really is.

240
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 2: He?

241
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 3: I mean, Fox is the fastest guy in the court,

242
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:05,560
Speaker 3: but Wiggins looks like clearly the best athlete on the

243
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:08,200
Speaker 3: court and the fact that like he had eight boards

244
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 3: last night. That's how Draymond can come off the bench.

245
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 3: The Warriors can play a smaller unit get more offense

246
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:15,840
Speaker 3: on the court in the first half of these games,

247
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:19,359
Speaker 3: largely because Wiggins is holding his own as a rebounder

248
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 3: for the Warriors. Another good game for Jordan Poole. He's

249
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:24,599
Speaker 3: been good since he moved into the starting lineup. I

250
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 3: wonder if the Kings might do the same for Malik

251
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 3: Monk because another no show from Kevin Herder two points,

252
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:32,679
Speaker 3: one for four shooting. Monk has had a really good series.

253
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 3: He's had one off game so far in Game three.

254
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:38,560
Speaker 3: I wouldn't be surprised to see a little more a

255
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 3: change in the starting lineup for the Kings, just to

256
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 3: get more scoring on the court. Maybe Herder finds a

257
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 3: rhythm better coming off the bench. We've seen him perform

258
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 3: in the playoffs, but this has not been a good

259
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:50,720
Speaker 3: start for him and Keegan Murray. I guess is hitting

260
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 3: enough threes from outside in this game to make it

261
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 3: so you don't necessarily have to play Hurder if you

262
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 3: don't want to go ahead her.

263
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, just back to Wiggins. I'm totally with you

264
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:02,960
Speaker 2: on the starting lineup change potentially for the Kings. Wiggins

265
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:05,439
Speaker 2: is doing all he can against Fox, but just shows

266
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 2: how good Fox is. He just shakes Wiggins no problem.

267
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 2: You have thirty eight points in this game because he's

268
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:16,200
Speaker 2: that damn good. Wiggins is coming through though. He nine

269
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:18,320
Speaker 2: blocks total. No one else in the series has more

270
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 2: than five. I mean, he's really chipping. He had the

271
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 2: last bucket for the Golden State Warriors in this game.

272
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 2: He's chipping in. He's doing exactly what the Warriors asked

273
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 2: for him coming back.

274
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 1: Yeah.

275
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 2: It just shows how supportive they were of him, and

276
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:37,600
Speaker 2: he's obviously paying them back here. It's pretty cool for

277
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:40,479
Speaker 2: him to be this great right off the bat.

278
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 1: Game five of this series not till Wednesday, so we

279
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 1: got a little bit of time here. I don't know

280
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:47,320
Speaker 1: if that's good or bad. Like we're all into this

281
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:49,079
Speaker 1: series and we're hyped, so on one hand, we're like,

282
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 1: let's go, let's play, let's jump it up right now.

283
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 1: But on the other hand, it's like, let both teams

284
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:57,320
Speaker 1: get a little rested, more full squads here, and we'll

285
00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:58,959
Speaker 1: see what happens with the cow bells out there in

286
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,440
Speaker 1: Sacramento in game five. It's amazing. That's living up to

287
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:04,680
Speaker 1: the hype. And it's cool to see Fox. He's matching Curry.

288
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:07,320
Speaker 1: I mean, they're they're they're they're washing each other out.

289
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 1: They're just playing at elite levels. They're both good for

290
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 1: thirty plus points a game here. They do it in

291
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 1: different ways, don't get me wrong, but it's it's not

292
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 1: because Fox has struggled at all in this series. They

293
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 1: had to put the greatest defender probably in the league

294
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 1: on him to even like slow him down and contain

295
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 1: them in Draymond Man, it is pretty amazing that you're like, hey,

296
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 1: go stop Daron Fox. Okay, guy's on fire right now.

297
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 1: Keep him in check. Okay, no problem, Hey Sabonis, All

298
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:31,439
Speaker 1: Star All NBA player, keep him in check. I mean,

299
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 1: he got his numbers, Sabonis. But Green is like he's

300
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 1: sort of in his head a little bit. I think

301
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 1: here too after and like you even saw that one

302
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 1: where Sibonis is like, Okay, just gonna give me this jumper.

303
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:42,319
Speaker 1: I guess I sort of have to take this jumper

304
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:42,960
Speaker 1: at the free throw line.

305
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 2: He hit it.

306
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:45,840
Speaker 1: I wonder if you should be a little more aggressive.

307
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:47,959
Speaker 2: Oh? Absolutely, Yeah, he's got his numbers, is not enough

308
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 2: numbers though he's fourteen points and seven boards, eight assists,

309
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:55,840
Speaker 2: obviously helping out, but maybe a lack of confidence if he's,

310
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:59,199
Speaker 2: you know, thinking it has to overthink a jumper. Just

311
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 2: shoot that baby. You shouldn't, baby, I mean your sibonis

312
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:04,680
Speaker 2: you should. You should be able to score. And the

313
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 2: good thing I think about potentially bringing Malik Monk in

314
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 2: for Kevin Herder, who's yeah, really struggling in this series,

315
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:12,440
Speaker 2: that maybe Monk slows down just a bit, because at

316
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 2: the end of this game, in those turnovers, he was

317
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 2: just going way too fast and he was complaining a

318
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 2: lot about not getting foul calls. They had three turnovers

319
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 2: in the last four minutes that were just frankly, just

320
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 2: bad turnovers. Maybe Monk just has to slow down. I mean,

321
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 2: they could win this game if they just have some

322
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 2: some better ball handling there and Fox can't do it all.

323
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 2: Somebody just asked to chip in a.

324
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:36,600
Speaker 1: Bit to go full circle there. Like I said, Oh,

325
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 1: I wish they didn't call time out at the end

326
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 1: like Brown Kings. They pushed it. Probably why they did

327
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 1: is because they blew like three or four fast break

328
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 1: opportunities like late in this game, there was that one

329
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 1: where Fox just threw it out of bounds. It was

330
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 1: miscommunications like is it going to Sibonis? Is it going

331
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 1: to somebody else? Good defensive plays in transition too from

332
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 1: the words, But there was a couple like where you're

333
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 1: just like Kings. You got to play near you know,

334
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 1: not perfect, but way closer to perfect to beat this

335
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 1: dynasty here, and they they blew it a couple times.

336
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 1: There was opportunities there, especially in transitions. Man, that's why

337
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 1: you called the timeout. It's like this will be thrown

338
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:08,400
Speaker 1: it away, this will live and die by Harrison Barnes

339
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 1: three point attempt.

340
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 2: Usually a head coach after a game will say, hey,

341
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:14,160
Speaker 2: we didn't get the foul calls. He's Mike Brown about

342
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 2: his own team, said we got to stop complaining about

343
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 2: the foul calls and just play ball and slow down

344
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 2: a little bit, because he knows where this game was lost.

345
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 2: It was lost in those last few minutes where the

346
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 2: Warriors game everything on a silver platter that they possibly could.

347
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 2: I mean, they gave you a Chris Webber Tech exactly,

348
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:32,800
Speaker 2: and they gave.

349
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 3: You the point possession down five. Here you go.

350
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 2: I have it that. I mean, that was a mean

351
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 2: three and that fox that was nice. Gave one. Gave

352
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 2: to Draymond Green there who said, I probably should have

353
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 2: guarded the three point line in a four point game

354
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 2: game of two instead, But that was just hard hard

355
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 2: to guard. That mean's hard to guard. And that's what

356
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 2: I Yeah, I thinks If Savona's is a little bit better,

357
00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 2: this game could be totally different.

358
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:02,360
Speaker 1: All right, let's keep it going here. The last game

359
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 1: of the weekend, last night, Sunday Night, the Wolves survive

360
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 1: in overtime to beat the Nuggets one fourteen went away

361
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:12,080
Speaker 1: and after an entire weekend of watching nothing but NBA basketball,

362
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 1: of course, the last game on Sunday night's gotta go

363
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 1: to overtime in you know, crazy fashion where the Wolves

364
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 1: are up twelve, yeah, with a handful of minutes to go,

365
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 1: you should be a rap and the Nuggets rip off

366
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 1: a twelve o run, you know, led by Jokic that

367
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 1: he does miss one free throw and that got us

368
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 1: to overtime. But in overtime, Nikaile Alexander Walker hitting two

369
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 1: big threes, and Anthony Edwards was special in this game.

370
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 1: You know, throughout the game here, especially in the second

371
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 1: half into overtime and they survived, they win, and they

372
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 1: are not getting swept. This one screams gentlemen, sweep. It

373
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 1: was like Yokich. In fact, missing that free throw was

374
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 1: so the ultimately gentlemanly move.

375
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 3: This is the first one too, No to take all

376
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 3: the drama out of it, So shout out to that

377
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 3: Yes last week test when the Timberwolves had a forty

378
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 3: point quarter on loss, do we do moral victories in

379
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:06,160
Speaker 3: the playoffs? Is this an immoral victory? Leading by twelve

380
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:07,959
Speaker 3: and then not scoring the last two and a half

381
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:10,439
Speaker 3: minutes of the game and only getting the win in

382
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 3: overtime because the MVP missed a free throw that would

383
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:15,680
Speaker 3: have won the game. I think so. But you'll take

384
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:17,919
Speaker 3: it because you didn't get swept. And that's exactly what

385
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 3: Anthony Edwards said said, I don't want people to say

386
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 3: I got swept in the playoffs. So he put the

387
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 3: team on his back. I saw. He now has as

388
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:27,920
Speaker 3: many thirty point games in the playoffs, more than any

389
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:31,359
Speaker 3: other player before twenty one and under, except for Lebron

390
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 3: Lebron's number one, Edwards tied with Kobe for the most.

391
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:37,119
Speaker 3: He's a special player. He would have the most energy,

392
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 3: the most juice on the court last night, and after

393
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:42,120
Speaker 3: a couple of tough games to start this series, it's

394
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:44,440
Speaker 3: really nice that he's found his rhythm and just keeps

395
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:47,360
Speaker 3: showing up in big moments. So that's awesome for the Timberwolves.

396
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 2: Joki has missed a free throw, but he feels so

397
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 2: confident shooting anything right now. He's schooling Rudy Gobert in

398
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:59,160
Speaker 2: this series. He shot fifteen to twenty six. You don't

399
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:01,359
Speaker 2: see a big number like that from Yokic a lot. Yeah,

400
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:06,680
Speaker 2: forty three big points and Yeah, a nice victory for

401
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 2: Anthony Edwards, throwing him into the Lebron slash Kobe category

402
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 2: before twenty two hour shots thirty point games before twenty

403
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:16,200
Speaker 2: two you think Luca would be there, but he just missed.

404
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 2: He just missed. He got it when he was twenty

405
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:21,679
Speaker 2: two years old. Yeah, it is a moral victory for them,

406
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:23,760
Speaker 2: and I will say for the Nuggets and moral victory

407
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:25,879
Speaker 2: for them. We've talked about it throughout this the series.

408
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 2: Here is the Michael Porter second half experience to help

409
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 2: out Jamal Murray and Jokic. He is he is stepping

410
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 2: up and being that guy. He only had nine in

411
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 2: the second half of this game. He had fifteen in

412
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 2: the game three's second half. He's just really helping up

413
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:44,359
Speaker 2: and so that's that bodes well for this team going forward.

414
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 2: It's nice to get a victory. I guess just overall,

415
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 2: they fought, they fought, and they scrapped and they are

416
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 2: still missing Jane McDaniels. That would have helped a decent amount,

417
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 2: but their death came through Austin Rivers. Hello, hitting a

418
00:18:57,760 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 2: couple of shots playoff Rivers.

419
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, and Nikil Alexander Walker. Like I said, those those

420
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 1: two threes in over time. But they did a good

421
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 1: job on Jamal Murray too, at least making life difficult

422
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 1: for him with his length and being so young and

423
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:09,720
Speaker 1: stuff like that, sticking with him as much as possible.

424
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 1: I thought you did a great job defensively. But yeah,

425
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:14,640
Speaker 1: like we all think this is ending in the next game, right,

426
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 1: that the Nuggets are gonna win at home? Or do

427
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 1: you have any hope that Anthony Edwards could you know,

428
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:21,239
Speaker 1: do another game of this or something get us back

429
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:22,600
Speaker 1: to Minnesota.

430
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:24,600
Speaker 3: I think he could have a fifty point game in

431
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 3: the playoffs at some point in his career. Maybe it's

432
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:29,320
Speaker 3: game five, they're going to I don't necessarily know that.

433
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:31,080
Speaker 3: I would bet that that's going to be the case.

434
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:34,360
Speaker 3: But uh, the Timberwolves have looked better in the last

435
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:35,960
Speaker 3: two games and it looks like they'd got a little

436
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:38,240
Speaker 3: bit of fight in them and hopefully that continues when

437
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 3: they get back to Denver.

438
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, they do need a second guy to really step

439
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 2: up and help. Anthony Edwards. We've talked about Towns. He's

440
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 2: been okay.

441
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 1: Maybe one of their you know guys that makes massive

442
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:47,480
Speaker 1: amounts of money.

443
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 2: Rudy's got the euro step, but he doesn't have the

444
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:54,200
Speaker 2: euro finish. He's got all the time.

445
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 3: It's a sick move.

446
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 2: He keeps doing it. He throws up some air balls

447
00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:00,439
Speaker 2: after the euro step. He's got the footwork, doesn't have

448
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:02,560
Speaker 2: the handwork really to go along with.

449
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 3: And so they just need they need a second guy.

450
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 3: Maybe it's Stickie.

451
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:08,920
Speaker 2: Alexander Walker getting hot. It could be Condley again, who

452
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 2: had a good game one. Not Towns though, you don't think,

453
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:15,919
Speaker 2: I know, we keep keep overlooking him. Game three was

454
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 2: his game.

455
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:19,359
Speaker 1: He does also, I mean, like we keep talking about it,

456
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:21,920
Speaker 1: like the foul trouble issues, but like he just does

457
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 1: the dumbest fowls he does dumb, like what are you doing?

458
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:27,400
Speaker 1: Like why are you reaching there? Like that last one

459
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 1: was the one that bumped him out, Like that's a foul.

460
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 1: Like he's just like you, just the ref is right

461
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:34,119
Speaker 1: there and you're trying to go for a steal. I guess,

462
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:37,040
Speaker 1: but like you gotta play smarter and he just doesn't

463
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:38,120
Speaker 1: in those situations.

464
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 3: So yeah, bet too right, that place should have got

465
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:44,400
Speaker 3: to beat. Like Yoki's missing two one of two free throws,

466
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:47,920
Speaker 3: you're not bad, but uh, yeah, I agree, he's got

467
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:50,240
Speaker 3: to be smarter. Only nine field goal attempts. Part of

468
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:51,840
Speaker 3: that is because he took ten free throws, which is

469
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 3: good getting to the line, but you gotta took your

470
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 3: cap a little bit. To Aaron Gordon, I think as well.

471
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:57,480
Speaker 3: He's done a really good job in this series. And

472
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 3: he's strong enough to be able to battle with Kat

473
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:02,920
Speaker 3: and also quick enough that Towns isn't gonna be taking

474
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:04,919
Speaker 3: him off the dribble. So he's been really solid I

475
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 3: thought in this series so far.

476
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:06,960
Speaker 2: Uh.

477
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:10,719
Speaker 1: Moving on to the Western Conference Series from Saturday, Lebron's

478
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:13,200
Speaker 1: Lakers beat the Grizzlies one eleven, one to one. They take

479
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:16,359
Speaker 1: the two to one series lead and Dylan Brooks, you

480
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:21,399
Speaker 1: played yourself getting tossed in this one. You know, seemed

481
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 1: to be shook from the jeers from the crowd. Let's

482
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:26,960
Speaker 1: put it that way. He missed a lot of shots.

483
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 1: He's been brutal this entire series. Thirteen to forty Lakers

484
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 1: are daring him to shoot as you should and then

485
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 1: ejected in the third quarter there for popping Lebron James

486
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 1: in the testicles in the growing area. We called it,

487
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:39,840
Speaker 1: and we said, well.

488
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:40,240
Speaker 3: I can't belie.

489
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:42,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, somebody's gonna get tossed this weekend. Probably beat him.

490
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 1: But he hits the Hibberts and you know, seemingly going

491
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 1: for the basketball, but whatever still got him, and he

492
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 1: was gone. And then and then and then he has

493
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:53,440
Speaker 1: the nerve after to be like, stop making me the villain, man,

494
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:54,720
Speaker 1: Like co on.

495
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 3: I'm back out on Dylan Bruk. So yeah, I was

496
00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:00,440
Speaker 3: in for a while. I was in for a while.

497
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:02,920
Speaker 3: He had a great run of trash talk, but then

498
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:06,880
Speaker 3: he hit Lebron in what Lebron literally called the Crown Jewels.

499
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:17,800
Speaker 3: Do this call the Crown Jewel? Well, come on, man,

500
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 3: you can't trash talk an entire series. You can't trash

501
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:23,600
Speaker 3: talk an absolute legend of the game and then not

502
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:27,120
Speaker 3: show up. Terrible game from Dylan Brooks two three for thirteen,

503
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:29,400
Speaker 3: then you hit him in the crown jewels, and then

504
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:31,120
Speaker 3: you don't do an interview.

505
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:31,400
Speaker 2: After the game.

506
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:34,159
Speaker 3: The next day you come and say, hey, how are

507
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 3: you making me the Probably because he hit two guys

508
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:39,680
Speaker 3: in the nuts this season, man. So it was fun.

509
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:41,439
Speaker 3: It was fun being a Dylan Brooks fan for a

510
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:44,399
Speaker 3: couple of months there, but I'm back out. It was

511
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 3: a good run.

512
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:48,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, you could have left this game after the first quarter.

513
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:50,400
Speaker 2: You didn't need to wait for three quarters of this game.

514
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 2: It was thirty five to nine after the first quarter,

515
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:56,359
Speaker 2: and I think Darmingham set up Lebron versus Dylan Brooks

516
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 2: on that first possession after a couple of misdirections. Lebron

517
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:01,480
Speaker 2: just went right at Dylan Brooks and scored in the lane.

518
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 2: But he didn't need to do much in this game. Obviously.

519
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:08,399
Speaker 2: Morn came back and did his thing in the second half.

520
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:11,800
Speaker 2: Cool forty five points when this game sort of was

521
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:17,119
Speaker 2: dead and gone. But just yeah, a weird, weird scenario

522
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:19,440
Speaker 2: for Dylan Brooks to be guarding Lebron in the back court.

523
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:21,879
Speaker 2: It was way in the back court in that third quarter.

524
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:25,639
Speaker 2: They it wasn't even near the hoop and decided decided

525
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:30,320
Speaker 2: to go after It's nuts. Yeah, Crown Jewels is great.

526
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:34,119
Speaker 2: I think his Crown Jewels was cool to say a

527
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 2: long time with THEO you don't hear it a lot. No,

528
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:40,240
Speaker 2: so Lebron bringing it back. I'm totally comfortable with that

529
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:41,359
Speaker 2: now when.

530
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:43,440
Speaker 1: He is not going to be suspended or anything. Dylan

531
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 1: Brooks unfortunately, probably for Lakers fans or sorry, no, Fortunately,

532
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:51,920
Speaker 1: he will not be suspended for Lakers fans, maybe unfortunately

533
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:55,119
Speaker 1: for Grizzlies fans the way he has been shooting. He

534
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:57,760
Speaker 1: will be playing in Game four, which is tonight. That's

535
00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:00,879
Speaker 1: the second game on TNT. Yeah, it was an eighteen

536
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:02,640
Speaker 1: to two lead, thirty five to nine, Like you said,

537
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:04,840
Speaker 1: tests and outside of the Jaw Morant run, which was

538
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 1: sort of fun, this one was over in a hurry.

539
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 1: Anthony Davis big bounce back performance. I thought it was

540
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:13,359
Speaker 1: pretty pretty phenomenal in this one. Thirty one point seventeen boards,

541
00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 1: three blocks, and that's what he should be doing. But

542
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:21,440
Speaker 1: he will have games where he doesn't and then pedestrian

543
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:24,520
Speaker 1: it looks like a superstar again. So they need four

544
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:25,879
Speaker 1: of those at least in a series, and you like

545
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:28,520
Speaker 1: your chances of winning. But this one goes back or sorry,

546
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:30,639
Speaker 1: stays in La here for Game four tonight. This is

547
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:33,200
Speaker 1: a weird series because of the injuries. You know, it's

548
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:36,959
Speaker 1: nice Jaws back, but I don't know, it's they just

549
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:40,400
Speaker 1: look out classed. I think the Grizzlies do. Even though

550
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:41,760
Speaker 1: they're only done one. They can tie it up tonight.

551
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:42,400
Speaker 2: I gotta get one.

552
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:45,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, John looked unstoppable. I mean the game was over

553
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:47,720
Speaker 3: at that point, but John did look unstopable in the

554
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:50,680
Speaker 3: fourth quarter, twenty four points. He hit four threes though

555
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:53,920
Speaker 3: in that fourth quarter ended up with six in the game.

556
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:56,159
Speaker 3: Jaw's not like a three point shooter. He had a

557
00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:58,439
Speaker 3: hot shooting night, so you're probably not relying on that

558
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:00,639
Speaker 3: if you're the Grizzlies. But there's still nobody on the

559
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 3: Lakers that can guard him.

560
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 2: So that's sure.

561
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:04,720
Speaker 3: If he was able to come back from the injury,

562
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:08,400
Speaker 3: hanging forty six on the or forty five on the Lakers,

563
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:11,160
Speaker 3: that's at least you still at least have a chance

564
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:13,359
Speaker 3: going into Game four. It's obviously going to be tough,

565
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:15,440
Speaker 3: and I mean the Brooks thing is such a big

566
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:18,879
Speaker 3: question because he's obviously like an important part of the

567
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 3: Grizzlies and the attitude he gives him is huge. But

568
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:24,639
Speaker 3: also maybe you'd rather have Luke Canard out there than

569
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:27,520
Speaker 3: Dylan Brooks shooting threes just because you can beat the

570
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:30,320
Speaker 3: Lakers from the three point line in general, So maybe

571
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 3: you need the shooting out there. It gives a lot

572
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:34,360
Speaker 3: more space to jaw inside as well. I wonder if

573
00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:37,560
Speaker 3: that's something they consider in Game four. But that just

574
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:39,200
Speaker 3: might be bad for Dylan Brooks. The guy would just

575
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:41,439
Speaker 3: get booed sitting on the bench for the entirety of

576
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:44,240
Speaker 3: the game until he finally checks in and the game

577
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:46,840
Speaker 3: the moment seemed a little big for Brooks in this one,

578
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:48,720
Speaker 3: I thought, So, I don't know something to look at

579
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:49,320
Speaker 3: going forward.

580
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:51,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, he tried to shoot his way through it. Thirteen

581
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 2: shots in nineteen minutes. Yeah, hopefully he can turn around

582
00:25:57,119 --> 00:25:58,440
Speaker 2: in game four. I think it is a win that

583
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:00,680
Speaker 2: you got John Morant back from the injury in the hand.

584
00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:05,160
Speaker 2: Look good, looks great, right, So again to get back

585
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:07,120
Speaker 2: on core advantage, you just need one of those two

586
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:09,960
Speaker 2: in LA. So maybe the Lakers are a little fat

587
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:12,680
Speaker 2: after a great game, you just gotta go steal Game four.

588
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:16,119
Speaker 1: Final one here from the Western Conference, Kevin Durant scored

589
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 1: thirty one as the Suns beat the Clippers one twelve

590
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:20,920
Speaker 1: to one hundred and they take a three to one

591
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:25,760
Speaker 1: series lead, and of course Kawhi Leonard once again does

592
00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:26,320
Speaker 1: not play.

593
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:28,200
Speaker 2: That's a phenomenal.

594
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:31,320
Speaker 1: After missing game three and man the Clippers. Man, this

595
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:33,840
Speaker 1: is the ultimate what if series here. It's like what

596
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:35,879
Speaker 1: if KWHI was playing? Obviously, on top of that, what

597
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:39,040
Speaker 1: if Paul George was playing, because holy shit, Russell Westbrook

598
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 1: is playing at an incredible level. A lot of these

599
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:44,640
Speaker 1: guys are scrapping here. Tyler's coaching his ass off. They're

600
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:46,879
Speaker 1: in a lot of these games, but it's just a

601
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:49,200
Speaker 1: little too much from the offensive firepower of these sons.

602
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:51,520
Speaker 1: But here they are down three to one, and I

603
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:52,960
Speaker 1: don't think a lot of people like their chances to

604
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:54,080
Speaker 1: win three in a row here.

605
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:56,560
Speaker 2: Now, this has been the best series outside of the

606
00:26:56,560 --> 00:27:00,440
Speaker 2: Warriors Kings, even without the superstars. To me, it's been

607
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:04,200
Speaker 2: extremely close and very deflating that Kawhi is the best

608
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:07,439
Speaker 2: player through two games and then six games three and

609
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:11,520
Speaker 2: four because of a knee a knee injury, and it's

610
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 2: not a pain tolerance thing, it's you could be making

611
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 2: this worse thing. So the trainers have kept him out

612
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 2: and they said it doesn't matter if you can tolerate

613
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:24,960
Speaker 2: the pain. So maybe two days off and he comes back.

614
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:27,880
Speaker 2: Because there's two days off between games here. I mean,

615
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:31,800
Speaker 2: that's just yeah, obviously a ridiculous that's that's glass full

616
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:35,560
Speaker 2: type thinking. It's hard to really get excited about this

617
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 2: Clippers team, even though they've been in four games and

618
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:40,960
Speaker 2: Russ has played great. You know, they won one obviously

619
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:43,280
Speaker 2: and could have easily won other ones. And if Kawhi

620
00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:46,439
Speaker 2: isn't it, man, this has been a great series. You

621
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:49,200
Speaker 2: could see why the Clippers did this, Why they went

622
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:51,439
Speaker 2: out hand had got all this supporting cast, why they

623
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:54,199
Speaker 2: went out and got Aaron Gordon and Eric Gordon, not

624
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:57,960
Speaker 2: Aaron Mason, Plumbley and Norm Powell and all these guys

625
00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:03,360
Speaker 2: to support their stars. But I'll last here we are.

626
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:09,760
Speaker 2: It's unfortunate. I guess he plays in Game five, Okay, interesting,

627
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:15,520
Speaker 2: more likely he doesn't. I don't know who knows. Anyways,

628
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:17,360
Speaker 2: Chris Paul was good in the fourth quarter of this guy,

629
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:20,640
Speaker 2: he was money, cash cash. He hadn't hit a fourth

630
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:24,800
Speaker 2: quarter three until Game four, and yeah, you had twelve points,

631
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:29,439
Speaker 2: five to nine shooting. He just he said, much like

632
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 2: the no Dunks, the Starter's TBJ crew. He said, you

633
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:35,760
Speaker 2: don't get to this point in year eighteen by sitting

634
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:37,920
Speaker 2: on your ass. He's been working and here we are

635
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:40,840
Speaker 2: in year eighteen as well. We're working, man, And so

636
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:43,600
Speaker 2: Chris Paul is a fan of the show. That's all

637
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:44,280
Speaker 2: I gotta say.

638
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:48,040
Speaker 1: You have any Clippers son's notes on this series or

639
00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:49,080
Speaker 1: this game in particular.

640
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:53,160
Speaker 3: I think my math is right that the Sons shot

641
00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:55,960
Speaker 3: thirty two of sixty two on twoes in this game,

642
00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:58,960
Speaker 3: only made nine threes, but that's Sun's basketball thirty each

643
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:01,640
Speaker 3: for Durant Booker, I felt like quiet nights for both

644
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:03,520
Speaker 3: of them. And then Chris Paul just slammed the door shut.

645
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:07,560
Speaker 3: The Clippers are fighting. They have not given given an

646
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:10,360
Speaker 3: inch in this series, which is awesome. They're just playing

647
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:12,840
Speaker 3: at a disadvantage. They are a play in team, and

648
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:16,160
Speaker 3: that's where Russell Westbrook absolutely thrives. He can make a

649
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:17,920
Speaker 3: play and team look like a playoff team, and that's

650
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:20,320
Speaker 3: what he's doing right now, but they just don't have enough.

651
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:20,880
Speaker 3: It's jover.

652
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:24,200
Speaker 1: What do you think of Kada and Chris Paul after

653
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:27,400
Speaker 1: this game giving Russ his flowers here, like going on

654
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:28,480
Speaker 1: record talking about what.

655
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:29,920
Speaker 3: Are they supposed to just say this guy sucks. Of

656
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 3: course we're gonna beat him.

657
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:34,040
Speaker 1: No, makes a lot better. It was almost I guess.

658
00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:36,120
Speaker 1: The alarming part to me is like they were talking

659
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:37,240
Speaker 1: like the series was over.

660
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:38,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what it was to me.

661
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:40,040
Speaker 1: So it was like, hold on, I don't mean you

662
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 1: you gotta win one more, but true, it is nice that,

663
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:44,240
Speaker 1: you know. I thought it was cool that they were like,

664
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 1: you know, especially Durant's like when he's retired, like the

665
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:49,479
Speaker 1: narrative is going to flip on this guy, like at

666
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:51,440
Speaker 1: how hard he plays, and you know he even said,

667
00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:54,880
Speaker 1: like people think he's a joke, he's not. So anyway,

668
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:56,640
Speaker 1: they were giving him flowers, but yeah, it's not over

669
00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:57,920
Speaker 1: yet exactly.

670
00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:00,520
Speaker 2: It felt like they were talking about this series as

671
00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:03,000
Speaker 2: if it was over. Yeah, it is cool. From westbrook Side,

672
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:05,280
Speaker 2: it's his best playoffs in years. I know it's only

673
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 2: four games old, but he's been playing better than he

674
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:13,600
Speaker 2: has as a wizard, as a as a rocket means

675
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:16,600
Speaker 2: since he was a member of the Thunder. It's it's

676
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:20,120
Speaker 2: been a minute, but yeah, he's balling out. We'll see.

677
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 2: He started the series three of nineteen in game one

678
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:25,920
Speaker 2: and then picked it up shooting wise. I mean without

679
00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:27,160
Speaker 2: him they would have got spanked.

680
00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:29,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's exactly right. These have only been games because

681
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:32,880
Speaker 1: he's been playing and trying, obviously on the defensive end

682
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:34,800
Speaker 1: as well as he chases guys all the time, like

683
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:36,600
Speaker 1: to try and block from behind him working. It's pretty

684
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:41,560
Speaker 1: cool fun stat or excuse me, trivia from statudes. Let's

685
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:45,360
Speaker 1: test your knowledge. Durant Booker became just the third duo

686
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:47,680
Speaker 1: in NBA history to score at least twenty five points

687
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:49,560
Speaker 1: a piece in each of their first four games of

688
00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:52,440
Speaker 1: a postseason series. Can you tell me the other two

689
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:55,520
Speaker 1: duos and one of them did it twice? One in

690
00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:57,360
Speaker 1: the sixties, I'll give you that, and then one in

691
00:30:57,400 --> 00:30:57,880
Speaker 1: the two.

692
00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:00,040
Speaker 3: Thousands, Elgend Baylor and Jerry West.

693
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 1: Well done, my man, sixty two and sixty eight.

694
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:04,000
Speaker 2: They did it nice.

695
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:07,600
Speaker 1: Or the other eras I'll give you two thousands is the.

696
00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:09,200
Speaker 3: Era Shaq and Kobe.

697
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:09,920
Speaker 1: Look at this guy.

698
00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:11,560
Speaker 3: This guy likes pastable. That's it.

699
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:15,120
Speaker 1: That's it and then Durant Booker. Yeah, Shaq and Kobe

700
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:17,640
Speaker 1: in the Western Conference first round, you have twenty five

701
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:21,080
Speaker 1: points apiece, like both guys in first four games. I

702
00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:23,040
Speaker 1: know in today's game, maybe it doesn't sound.

703
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:24,360
Speaker 2: Like a lot, but it well is.

704
00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:28,360
Speaker 3: Ye, it was like bron and Taintam didn't do it. Yeah,

705
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:31,240
Speaker 3: you just have one one guy exactly, one guy off.

706
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:33,760
Speaker 1: A little bit that night. But yeah, there it is

707
00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:36,280
Speaker 1: Baylor and West twice, Shaq and Kobe and then Kevin

708
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:39,960
Speaker 1: Durant and Devin Booker. Let's take a break and when

709
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:42,120
Speaker 1: we come back, we'll you know, jump over to the

710
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:45,000
Speaker 1: Eastern Conference playoff series and go through all four of those,

711
00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:46,320
Speaker 1: one of them already wrapped up.

712
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:47,080
Speaker 3: Don't go anywhere.

713
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to come join you on that porch, Jeneie,

714
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:55,000
Speaker 1: drink some wine because my bar cabinet it's stocked to

715
00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:57,200
Speaker 1: the brim with first leaf flying.

716
00:31:57,800 --> 00:31:58,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm drinking it faster.

717
00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:00,560
Speaker 1: I'm not drinking it fast, really not.

718
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 2: I gotta I gotta start consuming that on a porch,

719
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:05,880
Speaker 2: on top or in the cabinet.

720
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 1: No, it's in it, in it, but we're rest running

721
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:10,280
Speaker 1: out of room now. It's spelling and there's some already

722
00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:12,480
Speaker 1: on the fridge, and yeah, there's a lot.

723
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:13,120
Speaker 3: There's a lot.

724
00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:15,160
Speaker 2: You don't have to get it every month.

725
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:18,360
Speaker 1: No, I just actually made sure that the next one

726
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:20,360
Speaker 1: wasn't coming so soon. Let me, let me get through

727
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:22,920
Speaker 1: some of this. I think mid June maybe is my

728
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:25,960
Speaker 1: next couple of months to can take down some.

729
00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:27,640
Speaker 2: Bottles here, Larry O'Brien.

730
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:30,480
Speaker 3: Bottles, NBA inyls.

731
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:36,160
Speaker 1: Okay, let's get to the Eastern Conference playoff series, bing bong,

732
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:39,280
Speaker 1: Jalen Brunson, R J. Barrett lead the Knicks over the

733
00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:43,800
Speaker 1: Calves one two ninety three for the three one series lead,

734
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:46,840
Speaker 1: Trey Kirby, you get us started on this one. How

735
00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:49,920
Speaker 1: shocked are you by how maybe poorly the Calves have

736
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:52,400
Speaker 1: looked in this series, or how great the Knicks have

737
00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:53,480
Speaker 1: through four games.

738
00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:57,680
Speaker 3: I'm shocked. Like Jalen Brunson celebrating a three pointer? Oh boy,

739
00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:00,719
Speaker 3: what's that mean? Don't worry about you don't want to know,

740
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:07,120
Speaker 3: You do not want to know. But yeah, after Game one,

741
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:09,760
Speaker 3: me and Task were chatting. I said, I see two

742
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:13,880
Speaker 3: problems here for the Cavaliers in two big, two ways,

743
00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:16,440
Speaker 3: and that has played out since they got to New York.

744
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:18,960
Speaker 3: The Calves don't have as many players as the next

745
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:21,600
Speaker 3: and the players they do have are much skinnier, so

746
00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:25,680
Speaker 3: we're seeing Mitchell Robinson dominate inside. I would say he's

747
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:29,320
Speaker 3: not putting up crazy numbers twelve and eleven last night,

748
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:32,960
Speaker 3: but had seven offensive rebounds. I think he's playing the

749
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:37,280
Speaker 3: combination of Jared Allen and Evan Mobley. He's out playing them.

750
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:40,240
Speaker 3: And then if Donovan Mitchell is gonna have a five

751
00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:44,640
Speaker 3: to eighteen game eleven points, the Calves just can't win.

752
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:48,920
Speaker 3: The margin for error there is not big enough that

753
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:52,080
Speaker 3: they can withstand a game from their star like that,

754
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:55,760
Speaker 3: because there's four good Calves right now. The fifth guy

755
00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:58,760
Speaker 3: sometimes it's Lavert. He had an awesome game in Game

756
00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:02,280
Speaker 3: two for the Cavaliers, which really helped them pull off

757
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:06,000
Speaker 3: a victory. But there's four trustworthy guys. Two of them

758
00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:10,520
Speaker 3: in Allen and Mobley, aren't huge offensive threats. Darius Garland,

759
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:13,040
Speaker 3: invisible in the first half, had an awesome second half

760
00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:14,960
Speaker 3: in this one. But if he's not playing well, and

761
00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:17,160
Speaker 3: especially if Mitchell isn't gonna be able to score and

762
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:20,040
Speaker 3: have superstar performances, the Cavs really don't have a chance

763
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:22,560
Speaker 3: in this one. So that's why they're down three to

764
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:24,840
Speaker 3: one to me. On the flip side of things, Brunson

765
00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:28,080
Speaker 3: just gets the shot he wants every single time. And

766
00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:31,120
Speaker 3: I was really impressed with RJ. Barrett doing the same

767
00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:33,480
Speaker 3: move every single time in the fourth quarter, just put

768
00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:35,560
Speaker 3: his head down, go straight to the rim. Ten points,

769
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:37,279
Speaker 3: four of seven shooting, went to the free throw line

770
00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:40,719
Speaker 3: a few times. Kind of disappointing, I thought from the

771
00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:43,879
Speaker 3: Calves because that's what RJ. Barrett does. Man, he's gonna drive.

772
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:45,879
Speaker 3: He's not a shooter out there, but he's just going

773
00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:49,279
Speaker 3: straight by right to the rack. Ten for him in

774
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:51,799
Speaker 3: the quarter, eight for Josh Hart, he was huge, I thought.

775
00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:54,080
Speaker 3: In the clutch, Brunton had eight as well in the

776
00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 3: fourth quarter. They're playing better in the clutch. That's where

777
00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:59,319
Speaker 3: the series is gonna be one. But the Calves are

778
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:02,080
Speaker 3: looking like it's that's probably a year away. They need

779
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:04,960
Speaker 3: some help on the wing. They need some backup bigs

780
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:07,800
Speaker 3: to help. Kevin Love might actually be helpful in this series,

781
00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:09,360
Speaker 3: just to have another guy who can be on the

782
00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:13,080
Speaker 3: court who is taller than six foot five. But yeah,

783
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:15,279
Speaker 3: bummer for the Caves to go into New York and

784
00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:17,959
Speaker 3: lose both these games and lose the way they did

785
00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:19,359
Speaker 3: the same way both times.

786
00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:22,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like they haven't showed up for the playoffs. Really,

787
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:24,920
Speaker 2: the Cats, they just haven't found another gear, while the

788
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:28,000
Speaker 2: Knicks continue to find another way. Argie Barrett gets better

789
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:30,160
Speaker 2: as the series goes on, but the next thing even

790
00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:33,480
Speaker 2: play great in Game four in terms of being efficient

791
00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:36,000
Speaker 2: at all. They missed ten free throws, they shot sixty

792
00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:37,839
Speaker 2: four percent from the line, They missed twenty one threes,

793
00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:40,879
Speaker 2: they shot twenty seven percent from three. And it comes

794
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:43,560
Speaker 2: down to Donovan Mitchell just having a fourth quarter. If

795
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:46,520
Speaker 2: he is the best player on the floor, which I

796
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:50,040
Speaker 2: billed him as after watching him in Utah, I thought

797
00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:52,200
Speaker 2: he'd be better than Brunton. But Brunton is finding his

798
00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:54,320
Speaker 2: spot in the mid range where the Calves give up shots,

799
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:56,920
Speaker 2: and Mitchell has just not been the best player in

800
00:35:56,920 --> 00:35:59,000
Speaker 2: this series Jalen Brunson has. They just have to go

801
00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:03,120
Speaker 2: into in to New York and win one game, and

802
00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:05,640
Speaker 2: if he's great in this game, then they went Now.

803
00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:07,880
Speaker 2: It was a lot of double teaming in the first half,

804
00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:10,480
Speaker 2: for sure, getting the ball out of his hands. He

805
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:15,560
Speaker 2: had overall, he had eleven points on eighteen shots, but

806
00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:17,399
Speaker 2: they're double teaming and getting the ball in his hands,

807
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:19,600
Speaker 2: and he was turning it over too. He had six turnovers.

808
00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:24,040
Speaker 2: So they had a nice game planing there in the

809
00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:26,360
Speaker 2: third quarter to go to Darius Garland while you're doubling

810
00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:29,000
Speaker 2: Donov Mitchell a nice decoy on the other side. But

811
00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:32,160
Speaker 2: maybe a lack of creativity overall by JB. Bickerstaff because

812
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:34,080
Speaker 2: he didn't get the ball to Donovan Mitchell in the

813
00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:37,360
Speaker 2: fourth quarter enough. He can take over. I mean, he

814
00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:42,040
Speaker 2: can be an offense unto himself. But you know, there's

815
00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:45,719
Speaker 2: enough complaining about the Cavs the Knicks. Just as you said,

816
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:49,040
Speaker 2: the offensive rebounding there were minus ten. The Cavs were

817
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:53,839
Speaker 2: on offensive rebounds period. That's just effort. Hertenstein has found

818
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:55,799
Speaker 2: a way to be really impactful in the series to

819
00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:59,160
Speaker 2: go along with Mitchell Robinson, and yeah, the Cavs. Just

820
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:01,680
Speaker 2: if you're fighting and you're scrapping a little bit more,

821
00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:05,680
Speaker 2: then you probably win along with Donovan Mitchell. So yeah,

822
00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:08,480
Speaker 2: the Knicks are winning the series, period. And RJ. Barrett

823
00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:11,080
Speaker 2: had was poop in the first two games, and he

824
00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:13,319
Speaker 2: found a way to impact in Games three and twenty

825
00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:18,440
Speaker 2: six points in Games four, even though again, these numbers

826
00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:20,320
Speaker 2: aren't great. They shot twenty seven percent from three. That

827
00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:23,080
Speaker 2: sounds like a bad recipe, but this has been kind

828
00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:26,359
Speaker 2: of an ugly series, and they missed less and they

829
00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:28,319
Speaker 2: got more they I guess they just got more rebounds too.

830
00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:29,840
Speaker 2: I mean, that's that's the other big part of it.

831
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:33,160
Speaker 2: They just just watched this game. It just continuously got

832
00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:35,560
Speaker 2: more possessions. So how are the the Cavs gonna win?

833
00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:37,799
Speaker 1: Yeah? I think it was Dan Devine shoutout to oury

834
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:40,480
Speaker 1: guy Dan at baldon Lie. He said, when you consider

835
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:43,400
Speaker 1: like the importance of these games, was this the greatest

836
00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:47,400
Speaker 1: two game stretch of RJ. Barrett's career in the NBA?

837
00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:50,520
Speaker 1: Probably He's been really good here in games three or four,

838
00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:52,720
Speaker 1: in two games where a lot of guys were struggling

839
00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:55,920
Speaker 1: to actually hit shots. Brunson though, damn rock, he's completely

840
00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:58,400
Speaker 1: out playing Donovan Mitchell once. Yes, that's the honest truth.

841
00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:01,520
Speaker 1: And then the one that's really rising people is Mitchell

842
00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:05,440
Speaker 1: Robinson playing better than the big Calves. A guy in

843
00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:07,480
Speaker 1: Jared Allen who was an All Star of Mobiley obviously

844
00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:10,520
Speaker 1: a future All Star. But then Hertnerstein comes in. He

845
00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:12,920
Speaker 1: has an impact on the game, Obi Toppen has an

846
00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:15,440
Speaker 1: impact on the game. You know, Goblin up rebounds and

847
00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:17,240
Speaker 1: all of this is happening the three to one series

848
00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:20,720
Speaker 1: lead in which Julius Randal has done next to nothing,

849
00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:25,640
Speaker 1: to the point where Tibbs correctly is benching him in

850
00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:29,160
Speaker 1: a fourth quarter, you know, big key game here where

851
00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:31,360
Speaker 1: it was two one obviously through one now and you

852
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:32,680
Speaker 1: know he might be a little frustrated. I know, he

853
00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:34,520
Speaker 1: didn't talk to the media. He seemed into the game

854
00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:37,399
Speaker 1: on the side. That's just hopefully like he's frustrated because

855
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:39,319
Speaker 1: of his ankle. But they're up three to one, so

856
00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:41,880
Speaker 1: why would be all that upset? But that's huge, like

857
00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:45,120
Speaker 1: he's not having dominant Julius ryandold games here at all,

858
00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:47,400
Speaker 1: and they're still up three to one because everybody else

859
00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:51,440
Speaker 1: contributing and Josh Hart, my god, what an absolute steal

860
00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:53,920
Speaker 1: at the deadline to bring this guy in. Eighteen points,

861
00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:57,000
Speaker 1: seven boards, two assists, two steals, plays nearly forty minutes.

862
00:38:57,520 --> 00:39:01,240
Speaker 1: He's pretty instrumental in at least slowing down Donovan Mitchell

863
00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:03,040
Speaker 1: a lot of doubles and stuff like that. But he

864
00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:06,480
Speaker 1: gets a lot of that primary you know, assignment on

865
00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:08,920
Speaker 1: Mitchell and he just like, I love the guy can

866
00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:10,759
Speaker 1: grab a rebound and can go coast to coast and

867
00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:13,919
Speaker 1: just attacks Jared Allen. Nobody's afraid of attacking Jared Allen

868
00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:16,560
Speaker 1: on the Knicks. Minutes later, he hits that little flip shot,

869
00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:18,200
Speaker 1: he bails out a possession, and then he grabbed an

870
00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:20,160
Speaker 1: offensive board and then he found Brunton for a three.

871
00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:22,080
Speaker 1: Like he's making all those little moves like he's mister

872
00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:25,720
Speaker 1: Intangible's that guy. The Knicks fans love him like everything

873
00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:26,360
Speaker 1: he does.

874
00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:27,400
Speaker 2: Totally they eat it up.

875
00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:30,680
Speaker 1: And yeah, they just have. Like if you lined everybody

876
00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:33,680
Speaker 1: up right now outside of that Garland stretch, which was

877
00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:36,800
Speaker 1: pretty special in the third quarter, Like in the series,

878
00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:39,720
Speaker 1: it's like you're you're lining a lot more Knicks players

879
00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:42,560
Speaker 1: ahead of Calves players in terms of who's actually contributing

880
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:45,680
Speaker 1: throughout the series, in terms of who's been good to great,

881
00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:49,160
Speaker 1: there's just way more of them. So yeah, this one lock.

882
00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:51,600
Speaker 1: I know this goes back to Cleveland. Could Cleveland win

883
00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:54,080
Speaker 1: that game? Sure, game five, but I don't see the

884
00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:56,680
Speaker 1: Knicks losing this series with like the way they're playing,

885
00:39:56,719 --> 00:40:01,880
Speaker 1: especially in their own garden there. That place is nuts

886
00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:06,319
Speaker 1: was awesome, Like they're chanting for RJ.

887
00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:06,760
Speaker 3: Barrett.

888
00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:09,480
Speaker 1: Obviously, anything Brunson does they go nuts hard. They're bigs.

889
00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:11,320
Speaker 1: Every offensive rebound place goes nuts.

890
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:13,799
Speaker 2: No, they are so happy right now that after that

891
00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:16,520
Speaker 2: heart flip shot where this was still a game with

892
00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:18,680
Speaker 2: a few minutes left. I mean, he's got this huge

893
00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:21,680
Speaker 2: smile across his face. The Calves aren't wiping anybody smiles

894
00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:25,919
Speaker 2: off their face like they are just getting outplayed. They are. Yeah,

895
00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:30,440
Speaker 2: they're getting beat down right now. And it's It's true.

896
00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:35,520
Speaker 2: Evan Mobley hasn't been a good supporting enough supporting offensively,

897
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:39,480
Speaker 2: same with Jared Allen. You know, if Mitchell comes out

898
00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:40,719
Speaker 2: and does what he did in game one. Game one,

899
00:40:40,719 --> 00:40:41,840
Speaker 2: he was the best player on the floor. He had

900
00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:45,200
Speaker 2: thirty eight and since then it's gone downhill. And I

901
00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:47,040
Speaker 2: think it is a little bit on Bickerstaff to get

902
00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:48,799
Speaker 2: him open a little bit more because they're just taking

903
00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:51,799
Speaker 2: the ball out of his hands now and he's he's

904
00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:53,200
Speaker 2: just kind of out of the game. I mean, he

905
00:40:53,239 --> 00:40:55,240
Speaker 2: did have a couple of rattlers in the fourth quarter,

906
00:40:55,280 --> 00:40:55,960
Speaker 2: which would.

907
00:40:55,719 --> 00:40:57,800
Speaker 1: Have made this a game, or a couple that spin out.

908
00:40:58,160 --> 00:41:01,640
Speaker 2: But yeah, there's they're they're not executing enough that the

909
00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:03,279
Speaker 2: bench obviously hasn't come through enough.

910
00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:03,680
Speaker 3: Uh.

911
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:07,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're they're searching for something, and I mean there's

912
00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:09,400
Speaker 2: there's getting beat down, they're getting run off the floor.

913
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:11,959
Speaker 2: Bing Bong guys would come in and run these guys

914
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:15,160
Speaker 2: off the floor like they're not Yeah.

915
00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:17,160
Speaker 3: I literally saw, you know, at the end of the game,

916
00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:19,080
Speaker 3: they do like the credits for who they're getting the

917
00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:22,000
Speaker 3: photos and the various elements, and one of them was

918
00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:24,800
Speaker 3: at bing Bong guy. It was like Getty images a

919
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:29,960
Speaker 3: p at bing Bong, which I assume Yeah, I'm sure.

920
00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:33,040
Speaker 1: Well, and you've seen like the crowds after these wins too,

921
00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:36,759
Speaker 1: throwing like parades, taking it through one seriously and it's

922
00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:37,440
Speaker 1: like awesome.

923
00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:40,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's why I mean, I love a daytime game.

924
00:41:42,080 --> 00:41:45,240
Speaker 2: I heard Kings fans complaining that why aren't we primetime?

925
00:41:45,239 --> 00:41:47,959
Speaker 2: We should be prime time. You get to celebrate more.

926
00:41:48,719 --> 00:41:50,759
Speaker 2: First of all, Sunday afternoon is primetime in the NBA.

927
00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:52,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was gonna say that got the marquee spot.

928
00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:55,440
Speaker 2: Yeah. Sometimes you think we want, we want to be

929
00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:58,359
Speaker 2: able to go out party, but you can because it's

930
00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:01,320
Speaker 2: the daytime. Have some fun spill out onto the streets

931
00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:05,000
Speaker 2: like you're a bing bonger, have some fun. So yeah,

932
00:42:05,080 --> 00:42:08,000
Speaker 2: Knicks fans are reveling it. It is wild. Julius girl,

933
00:42:08,040 --> 00:42:11,719
Speaker 2: I'm not having it, but Josh hart is. I guess

934
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:14,799
Speaker 2: Jelen Brunson was right. Who's that trade happened to? He

935
00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:18,320
Speaker 2: was Jack. He's just been the energy guy and Julis

936
00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:19,880
Speaker 2: Randalls just hasn't been needed.

937
00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:23,560
Speaker 1: Really, are you concerned at all by him Randall not

938
00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:26,160
Speaker 1: talking to the media and all that, and like, is

939
00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:29,840
Speaker 1: there any worry that, uh oh, maybe like some selfish

940
00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:32,239
Speaker 1: Randall's coming out here or not gonna make a big.

941
00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:33,640
Speaker 3: Deal of it. I mean you'd rather see him be happy,

942
00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:37,880
Speaker 3: wouldn't you. Yeah, but I'm not super concerned about it.

943
00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:40,600
Speaker 3: It's probably been a frustrating past month for Julius Randall,

944
00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:42,880
Speaker 3: missing time at the end of the year, coming back,

945
00:42:43,360 --> 00:42:44,880
Speaker 3: not having a great run of things. He took the

946
00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:46,960
Speaker 3: huge fall where he was playing even late into that

947
00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:49,279
Speaker 3: blowout game where it was a question mark why he

948
00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:51,200
Speaker 3: was even on the floor. Just hasn't be able to

949
00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:53,400
Speaker 3: get a rhythm and Obie Topping was bawling like he

950
00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:55,680
Speaker 3: was given really good minutes for the next last night,

951
00:42:55,760 --> 00:42:58,800
Speaker 3: So you would rather have Randall being on board with everything,

952
00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:00,400
Speaker 3: but all he needed to do was have like a

953
00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:02,000
Speaker 3: twenty five point game and he'll be happy again.

954
00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:04,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, let's keep it going. Here a couple

955
00:43:04,840 --> 00:43:07,400
Speaker 1: of us in attendance down at the Fortress for Jaylen

956
00:43:07,440 --> 00:43:11,200
Speaker 1: Brown taking off the mask, throwing it aside Jason Tatum.

957
00:43:11,320 --> 00:43:15,719
Speaker 1: They both scored thirty one. Boston beats the Hawks. Sad

958
00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:19,239
Speaker 1: Caca for the three to one lead. Trey, you were there,

959
00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:21,719
Speaker 1: You saw it go down with your own eyes. You

960
00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:23,480
Speaker 1: took a beautiful photo.

961
00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:25,600
Speaker 2: For your Instagram, said I did.

962
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:28,759
Speaker 3: Why are you working on I didn't expect those time?

963
00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:31,400
Speaker 3: What an addition for the playoffs. Shout out to the

964
00:43:31,400 --> 00:43:35,120
Speaker 3: Hawks game operations staff. Usually it's just a blowtorch, yeah,

965
00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:37,759
Speaker 3: shooting a plume of fire, But not last night. The

966
00:43:37,840 --> 00:43:40,160
Speaker 3: works were fired as well. I don't know if you

967
00:43:40,160 --> 00:43:42,640
Speaker 3: felt the same way, Skeets, but somehow this felt like

968
00:43:42,680 --> 00:43:45,040
Speaker 3: it was always a ten point game. Yeah, it was

969
00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:48,440
Speaker 3: like the Hawks were playing but in the second half,

970
00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:49,879
Speaker 3: I think they even got it to four at one

971
00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:52,879
Speaker 3: point ninety five ninety one, but the Celtics just hit

972
00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:55,640
Speaker 3: so many timely shots. It was like anytime the Hawks

973
00:43:55,640 --> 00:43:58,160
Speaker 3: were putting together a run. They could never get to

974
00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:01,839
Speaker 3: a ten zero run or a fourteen to two run.

975
00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:04,640
Speaker 3: The Celtics would just find a way to get a

976
00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:08,120
Speaker 3: big basket. I think there was that play where things

977
00:44:08,120 --> 00:44:12,000
Speaker 3: got completely blown apart. Nothing was happening for the Celtics

978
00:44:12,040 --> 00:44:13,879
Speaker 3: and Tatum just randomly picks up the ball and chucks

979
00:44:13,880 --> 00:44:17,640
Speaker 3: it from the logo money. Tatum and Brown were both

980
00:44:17,719 --> 00:44:21,600
Speaker 3: huge in the fourth quarter of this one. Twelve for Brown,

981
00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:24,719
Speaker 3: sixteen for Tatum. It was fifty six points in the

982
00:44:24,719 --> 00:44:27,040
Speaker 3: paint for Boston in this one. At times it felt

983
00:44:27,080 --> 00:44:30,120
Speaker 3: like a layup line, especially in the first half. Boston

984
00:44:30,120 --> 00:44:34,200
Speaker 3: shot fifty one point seven percent from the field. This

985
00:44:34,239 --> 00:44:36,000
Speaker 3: is a game that maybe the Celtics would have lost

986
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:37,919
Speaker 3: in the past couple of seasons when the other team

987
00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:40,359
Speaker 3: is playing pretty well. Like I thought, the Hawks played

988
00:44:40,360 --> 00:44:42,600
Speaker 3: pretty solid in the second half of this game. But

989
00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:45,120
Speaker 3: the Celtics just did the right things at the right time,

990
00:44:45,400 --> 00:44:48,440
Speaker 3: made big shots. Marcus Smart had like a dunk in

991
00:44:48,480 --> 00:44:51,760
Speaker 3: the half court, wide open, nobody at the rim. Anytime

992
00:44:51,760 --> 00:44:53,840
Speaker 3: they needed to get it done, the Celtics did it.

993
00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:56,520
Speaker 3: And that's without like our Alhrford ever taken a shot.

994
00:44:56,560 --> 00:44:58,040
Speaker 3: He took two shots last night and had one of

995
00:44:58,080 --> 00:45:01,399
Speaker 3: the best games on the court. Robert Williams dominated as well.

996
00:45:01,600 --> 00:45:06,160
Speaker 3: So a really fun game because packed house, a lot

997
00:45:06,160 --> 00:45:08,680
Speaker 3: of Celtics fans in attendance. You got people cheering for

998
00:45:08,719 --> 00:45:11,040
Speaker 3: every single bucket. That's the way to do it. But

999
00:45:11,160 --> 00:45:13,439
Speaker 3: unfortunately for the Hawks, they just didn't have enough.

1000
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:15,920
Speaker 2: Yeah. I saw people standing at the end of this

1001
00:45:16,040 --> 00:45:18,719
Speaker 2: game and wondering where are you standing? Like the last couple

1002
00:45:18,719 --> 00:45:20,840
Speaker 2: of minutes the Hawks were done. I mean, this was

1003
00:45:21,360 --> 00:45:25,200
Speaker 2: usually the time where people are filing out of that arena.

1004
00:45:25,600 --> 00:45:27,359
Speaker 2: But people are excited, and I assume it's just because

1005
00:45:27,360 --> 00:45:27,959
Speaker 2: Boston fans.

1006
00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:30,160
Speaker 1: There was a lot of Bean town boys in attendance,

1007
00:45:30,560 --> 00:45:33,960
Speaker 1: for sure. For sure, a lot of green. I mean,

1008
00:45:33,960 --> 00:45:35,640
Speaker 1: it's pretty crazy because I had just been to Game

1009
00:45:35,680 --> 00:45:37,440
Speaker 1: two in Boston when I was up there for the marathon,

1010
00:45:37,680 --> 00:45:40,960
Speaker 1: went to that game, right, I don't think I'm exaggerating.

1011
00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:44,240
Speaker 1: There may have been five people including myself total wearing

1012
00:45:44,280 --> 00:45:46,759
Speaker 1: Hawks gart in Boston and then it's just a sea

1013
00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:50,240
Speaker 1: of green and white. So it's quite a glaring difference.

1014
00:45:51,120 --> 00:45:53,880
Speaker 1: They travel or they're all here. You know, it's a

1015
00:45:53,920 --> 00:46:00,200
Speaker 1: transplant city. So they tell me, look, we're examples. But yeah,

1016
00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:01,640
Speaker 1: but I think it makes for a fun experience. Oh

1017
00:46:01,920 --> 00:46:05,680
Speaker 1: but it's like every basket, every foul, every controversial thing,

1018
00:46:05,719 --> 00:46:08,200
Speaker 1: it's like everybody's into it because you're screaming one way

1019
00:46:08,280 --> 00:46:10,800
Speaker 1: or the other. So it was fun. And the Hawks

1020
00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:13,359
Speaker 1: put up a fight, but they just they just can't

1021
00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:16,000
Speaker 1: stop jailing brown Is when it comes down, he's either

1022
00:46:16,080 --> 00:46:18,160
Speaker 1: too big and strong for any of the guards they

1023
00:46:18,200 --> 00:46:19,560
Speaker 1: throw on him, or he's just too damn fast in

1024
00:46:19,600 --> 00:46:21,080
Speaker 1: athletic for any of the bigs that they try and

1025
00:46:21,120 --> 00:46:24,120
Speaker 1: throw him. He just barrels through guy's chests because he's

1026
00:46:24,160 --> 00:46:27,600
Speaker 1: so damn strong. He finished eleven for fifteen once he

1027
00:46:27,719 --> 00:46:30,040
Speaker 1: ditched the mask goodbye in the carbon mask. I guess

1028
00:46:30,040 --> 00:46:32,000
Speaker 1: he ripped off the sort of the bandage there on

1029
00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:34,879
Speaker 1: his hand too. And when they step up on him

1030
00:46:34,880 --> 00:46:37,680
Speaker 1: like to help comes at the back line, he's crafty

1031
00:46:37,760 --> 00:46:40,319
Speaker 1: enough to dump it off to Robert Williams or kick

1032
00:46:40,320 --> 00:46:42,719
Speaker 1: out to open schooners like he's he is. I hope

1033
00:46:42,760 --> 00:46:44,640
Speaker 1: he makes all NBA. I think he's so damn good

1034
00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:48,080
Speaker 1: when you pare him, especially with Tatum, but they're just overclassed.

1035
00:46:48,840 --> 00:46:51,520
Speaker 2: Yeah they're huge, and yeah the wings are too huge

1036
00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:53,520
Speaker 2: for the Hawks. We talked about coming into the series

1037
00:46:53,520 --> 00:46:55,759
Speaker 2: that was just a problem for them. It's a disadvantage.

1038
00:46:55,840 --> 00:46:57,560
Speaker 2: But DeAndrea Hunter showed up on the other side. You

1039
00:46:57,600 --> 00:47:01,000
Speaker 2: got a really good DeAndrea Hunter game for twenty seven points,

1040
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:04,800
Speaker 2: and unfortunately the backcourt didn't come through. Trey's line looks

1041
00:47:04,840 --> 00:47:06,759
Speaker 2: a lot better after, you know, going five of six

1042
00:47:06,880 --> 00:47:09,879
Speaker 2: right there in garbage time at the end. Basically, and

1043
00:47:10,120 --> 00:47:13,759
Speaker 2: de Jontay Murray I thought was it's just gambling way

1044
00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:16,719
Speaker 2: too much and the Celtics are just as you guys

1045
00:47:16,719 --> 00:47:19,040
Speaker 2: have talked about, like five out, what are you gonna

1046
00:47:19,040 --> 00:47:20,640
Speaker 2: do against this team? I mean it was it was

1047
00:47:20,640 --> 00:47:22,200
Speaker 2: a four point game with three minutes left in the

1048
00:47:22,239 --> 00:47:24,000
Speaker 2: second quarter. The Hawks made a nice I think it

1049
00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:26,600
Speaker 2: was a nine to ozho run, and then the spread

1050
00:47:26,640 --> 00:47:28,520
Speaker 2: was twelve at half because the Celtics just turned it

1051
00:47:28,560 --> 00:47:30,360
Speaker 2: on whenever they want. They just don't go away. Like

1052
00:47:30,400 --> 00:47:33,080
Speaker 2: Trey said, they probably lose this game or fade away,

1053
00:47:33,600 --> 00:47:36,040
Speaker 2: go into half with a much closer spread, but they

1054
00:47:36,080 --> 00:47:39,279
Speaker 2: just don't die. Like everybody on the court, they're just

1055
00:47:39,320 --> 00:47:42,359
Speaker 2: so confident. Another Derek quite solid game, like they're getting

1056
00:47:42,360 --> 00:47:44,319
Speaker 2: it up down the roster and the bench comes in

1057
00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:48,000
Speaker 2: too much. And yeah, at the end of this game

1058
00:47:48,040 --> 00:47:51,080
Speaker 2: with with Johntay Murray gambling and just angry, it seemed like,

1059
00:47:51,960 --> 00:47:55,279
Speaker 2: I guess it's not it's not. I don't know. He

1060
00:47:55,600 --> 00:47:57,319
Speaker 2: was just in a bad mood. And then you saw

1061
00:47:57,360 --> 00:47:59,120
Speaker 2: what he did with the referee postgame.

1062
00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:01,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's not going to play in game five.

1063
00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:02,480
Speaker 2: I would think he didn't want to get on that

1064
00:48:02,520 --> 00:48:03,480
Speaker 2: plane to go to Boston.

1065
00:48:03,760 --> 00:48:05,719
Speaker 1: So the NBA is investigating. I think we have the

1066
00:48:05,760 --> 00:48:09,279
Speaker 1: clip this incident involving to Johntay Murray as the game

1067
00:48:09,360 --> 00:48:12,520
Speaker 1: is ending, as he's walking off the floor, he appears,

1068
00:48:12,560 --> 00:48:16,040
Speaker 1: I mean he does make contact with an official, I

1069
00:48:16,040 --> 00:48:19,200
Speaker 1: mean steps to him, bumps them, and then walks off

1070
00:48:19,440 --> 00:48:21,760
Speaker 1: and the game's over. So there's no tech or anything

1071
00:48:21,800 --> 00:48:25,800
Speaker 1: called or flagrant or whatever on sportsman like. But a

1072
00:48:25,800 --> 00:48:27,319
Speaker 1: lot of people are thinking he is going to miss

1073
00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:29,520
Speaker 1: game five. Here it might be suspended because we did

1074
00:48:29,560 --> 00:48:33,719
Speaker 1: see Grant Williams with the Celtics. He got ejected and

1075
00:48:33,719 --> 00:48:37,480
Speaker 1: suspended way back in October for making contact with an official,

1076
00:48:37,520 --> 00:48:41,080
Speaker 1: and that to me was like way less like or

1077
00:48:41,480 --> 00:48:44,480
Speaker 1: much more accidental. I think Grant Williams wasn't really trying

1078
00:48:44,520 --> 00:48:46,960
Speaker 1: to hit the official netcase did and they still ejected

1079
00:48:47,040 --> 00:48:49,360
Speaker 1: him and suspended him for a game that's regular season.

1080
00:48:49,640 --> 00:48:53,399
Speaker 1: But this is no doubt Jontay Murray frustrated they got

1081
00:48:53,400 --> 00:48:56,600
Speaker 1: a tough whistle. I thought though the rest were doing

1082
00:48:56,600 --> 00:48:58,880
Speaker 1: this thing like they would make a brutal call against

1083
00:48:58,880 --> 00:49:00,759
Speaker 1: the Hawks and they would just do a make up call.

1084
00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:02,400
Speaker 1: They'd be like, no, you stepped out a balance, not

1085
00:49:02,480 --> 00:49:05,240
Speaker 1: even closer. Yeah, okay, they did like four times.

1086
00:49:05,280 --> 00:49:06,920
Speaker 3: There was a lot of make up calls.

1087
00:49:06,719 --> 00:49:09,319
Speaker 1: The mad makeup calls in this game. But I don't know.

1088
00:49:09,400 --> 00:49:13,320
Speaker 1: My my opinion is Dejante Murray will get suspended. That's

1089
00:49:13,480 --> 00:49:14,879
Speaker 1: pretty I don't know how he.

1090
00:49:14,920 --> 00:49:17,120
Speaker 3: Kind of seeks the ref out he seeks and then

1091
00:49:17,160 --> 00:49:19,520
Speaker 3: you can see like the ref's head like snaffs just

1092
00:49:19,520 --> 00:49:21,560
Speaker 3: to stare down Murray doesn't say anything. You can also

1093
00:49:21,560 --> 00:49:25,280
Speaker 3: see Murray as like arms raised, yelling at another official

1094
00:49:25,640 --> 00:49:28,080
Speaker 3: off the court. Likely a suspension.

1095
00:49:28,440 --> 00:49:30,160
Speaker 2: I'm telling you, he just didn't want to get on

1096
00:49:30,160 --> 00:49:32,560
Speaker 2: that plane. He's done. He felt like the series was over.

1097
00:49:32,600 --> 00:49:37,840
Speaker 2: It felt like he got obviously over the top reaction.

1098
00:49:38,120 --> 00:49:40,120
Speaker 2: Can't bump a guy, and that's why he's going to

1099
00:49:40,200 --> 00:49:43,080
Speaker 2: get a game. I don't think there's a question.

1100
00:49:43,080 --> 00:49:46,320
Speaker 1: Should be a fine. I guess just it could could.

1101
00:49:46,719 --> 00:49:50,520
Speaker 2: No, that's that's a game. You bump an official, you

1102
00:49:50,560 --> 00:49:55,600
Speaker 2: bump get Aminus Petraytus, the Lithuanian referee, you get a game.

1103
00:49:55,960 --> 00:49:57,640
Speaker 2: Because that was a real bump. It was egregious. Like

1104
00:49:57,680 --> 00:49:59,719
Speaker 2: you said, the other one was accidental. He went, he

1105
00:49:59,760 --> 00:50:04,680
Speaker 2: went after him. Lost this cool and they lost their

1106
00:50:04,719 --> 00:50:07,719
Speaker 2: probably their most their steadiest, most consistent player for game five.

1107
00:50:07,760 --> 00:50:08,440
Speaker 2: It sure feels it.

1108
00:50:08,600 --> 00:50:12,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, Zach Sarba was one of the other officials. That

1109
00:50:13,080 --> 00:50:15,920
Speaker 1: man when he goes to like talk to the camera

1110
00:50:16,120 --> 00:50:18,800
Speaker 1: to explain what had just happened after an intimilar replay

1111
00:50:18,880 --> 00:50:20,640
Speaker 1: or something like that, or a review, I should say,

1112
00:50:21,239 --> 00:50:25,120
Speaker 1: he dabs himself up to remove as much sweat as possible.

1113
00:50:25,160 --> 00:50:27,919
Speaker 1: He has a little handkerchief in his pocket, and he

1114
00:50:28,080 --> 00:50:30,680
Speaker 1: like he really wants to look good for the camera,

1115
00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:32,439
Speaker 1: and he's sweating a lot. Like don't get me wrong,

1116
00:50:32,440 --> 00:50:34,319
Speaker 1: these officials are running up and down like they're working

1117
00:50:34,320 --> 00:50:36,799
Speaker 1: their ass off, but like that guy just does not

1118
00:50:36,960 --> 00:50:38,759
Speaker 1: want to appear sweaty when he gets in front of

1119
00:50:38,760 --> 00:50:39,200
Speaker 1: that camera.

1120
00:50:40,200 --> 00:50:42,200
Speaker 3: You can't show nerves if you're a run home. Man,

1121
00:50:42,400 --> 00:50:45,239
Speaker 3: he comes up here dripping and sweat shaking. Yeah, trying

1122
00:50:45,280 --> 00:50:46,719
Speaker 3: to make a call. Not a great look. But if

1123
00:50:46,719 --> 00:50:51,040
Speaker 3: you drive for it all the time, you're trusting that guy.

1124
00:50:51,120 --> 00:50:53,600
Speaker 3: I had a couple of great intery in moments at

1125
00:50:53,640 --> 00:50:56,359
Speaker 3: this game. Before the game, I saw somebody knew they

1126
00:50:56,400 --> 00:50:59,960
Speaker 3: recognized me. He walks up, Hey, are you Jay Skith?

1127
00:51:00,239 --> 00:51:00,840
Speaker 2: Oh wow?

1128
00:51:01,760 --> 00:51:05,200
Speaker 3: I'm I was like, yeah, close it enough, he's around

1129
00:51:05,239 --> 00:51:09,520
Speaker 3: here somewhere. We had a confetti falling inadvertently moment. I've

1130
00:51:09,520 --> 00:51:11,759
Speaker 3: never been in an arena where that happened. Had to

1131
00:51:11,800 --> 00:51:16,120
Speaker 3: stop the game for like fifteen pieces of silver confetti falling.

1132
00:51:16,320 --> 00:51:18,480
Speaker 1: I think Tray, I think I was the first person

1133
00:51:18,520 --> 00:51:20,520
Speaker 1: in the arena to notice that falling confetti.

1134
00:51:20,840 --> 00:51:21,719
Speaker 3: I noticed it when.

1135
00:51:21,600 --> 00:51:24,319
Speaker 1: It was so high. I'm like, that's confetti falling. I'm like,

1136
00:51:24,400 --> 00:51:25,520
Speaker 1: is I gonna go on the floor? That going to

1137
00:51:25,520 --> 00:51:26,720
Speaker 1: stop the game? And they didn't.

1138
00:51:26,719 --> 00:51:26,960
Speaker 3: They did.

1139
00:51:27,000 --> 00:51:30,880
Speaker 1: They move to confetti falls very slow, SUTs to go

1140
00:51:30,960 --> 00:51:32,080
Speaker 1: back up, it goes back.

1141
00:51:32,800 --> 00:51:35,560
Speaker 3: It was crazy watching like the security people on the

1142
00:51:35,560 --> 00:51:36,239
Speaker 3: floor just like.

1143
00:51:37,400 --> 00:51:43,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm not yet a way. That was very funny.

1144
00:51:43,239 --> 00:51:45,680
Speaker 4: And I caught a shirt for the first time in

1145
00:51:45,760 --> 00:51:47,359
Speaker 4: a long time. We were in our row.

1146
00:51:47,400 --> 00:51:49,640
Speaker 3: I was like, this is pretty this is a pretty

1147
00:51:49,680 --> 00:51:51,520
Speaker 3: good spot. It might get one here if they pull

1148
00:51:51,560 --> 00:51:54,239
Speaker 3: out the gun. Pulled out the gun. I wasn't standing up.

1149
00:51:54,600 --> 00:51:56,040
Speaker 3: I saw it come up. I was like, that's coming

1150
00:51:56,040 --> 00:52:00,680
Speaker 3: straight to me. Stood up one hand, no problem, and

1151
00:52:00,680 --> 00:52:03,120
Speaker 3: then you can hear something right over the other guy's hand.

1152
00:52:03,320 --> 00:52:07,120
Speaker 1: Sorry, and you can hear somebody great, great couch skis.

1153
00:52:08,640 --> 00:52:09,279
Speaker 3: I threw it back?

1154
00:52:11,640 --> 00:52:13,040
Speaker 1: Did you keep it? Give it to the kids.

1155
00:52:13,320 --> 00:52:15,200
Speaker 3: I think this is actually going to be a Laura shirt.

1156
00:52:17,400 --> 00:52:20,120
Speaker 1: There's a deep vait.

1157
00:52:20,120 --> 00:52:21,680
Speaker 3: You think my wife's apare what.

1158
00:52:21,640 --> 00:52:26,040
Speaker 2: Are you looking at? You guys are talking about I

1159
00:52:26,040 --> 00:52:27,799
Speaker 2: got it back. I got a back up skates. She

1160
00:52:27,840 --> 00:52:28,839
Speaker 2: wears vs wear.

1161
00:52:29,920 --> 00:52:30,800
Speaker 3: She wears that regular.

1162
00:52:32,520 --> 00:52:35,839
Speaker 2: There might be U some people wearing V's at Las

1163
00:52:35,920 --> 00:52:39,520
Speaker 2: Vegas Summer League. Andrew Schleck tweeted me, Yeah, he said

1164
00:52:39,560 --> 00:52:41,480
Speaker 2: he wears v Nex. He likes a good V neck.

1165
00:52:42,000 --> 00:52:43,240
Speaker 2: Might have a V neck party.

1166
00:52:43,800 --> 00:52:47,319
Speaker 1: That's the place order for summer League. You're talking that

1167
00:52:47,400 --> 00:52:47,799
Speaker 1: walked in.

1168
00:52:48,520 --> 00:52:52,399
Speaker 2: Come join us soon, very soon. There soon means I'm

1169
00:52:52,400 --> 00:52:55,640
Speaker 2: gonna lock it in soon. Yeah. Yeah, but we're there,

1170
00:52:55,120 --> 00:52:57,359
Speaker 2: We're there. It's only a couple of months away. Where

1171
00:52:57,400 --> 00:52:59,640
Speaker 2: were you sitting. I need to know for my for

1172
00:52:59,760 --> 00:53:03,120
Speaker 2: my X purchase because the gun, the gun plays me.

1173
00:53:03,160 --> 00:53:05,680
Speaker 2: You never know with the gun shooters, So I just

1174
00:53:05,680 --> 00:53:06,040
Speaker 2: want to know.

1175
00:53:06,120 --> 00:53:06,560
Speaker 1: The T shirt.

1176
00:53:07,040 --> 00:53:10,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think if you are in I was in

1177
00:53:10,600 --> 00:53:14,920
Speaker 3: row U, so I would say T through W you're

1178
00:53:14,960 --> 00:53:15,399
Speaker 3: probably good.

1179
00:53:15,440 --> 00:53:18,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, back the back of the lower bawl your yeah,

1180
00:53:18,600 --> 00:53:19,959
Speaker 1: back of the lower ball. Pretty good.

1181
00:53:20,320 --> 00:53:24,200
Speaker 2: T to W. Got it? Okay, V, I'll get.

1182
00:53:26,440 --> 00:53:30,560
Speaker 1: This. One's going to end very very likely on Wednesday night.

1183
00:53:30,600 --> 00:53:32,919
Speaker 1: When do they play again? No, Tuesday Night. I feel

1184
00:53:32,920 --> 00:53:34,920
Speaker 1: like all three series could end on Tuesday Night. Bet

1185
00:53:34,960 --> 00:53:38,759
Speaker 1: are three to one. Potentially, I guess potentially, all right.

1186
00:53:38,800 --> 00:53:41,200
Speaker 1: Jimmy Butler scored thirty. We're going back to Saturday.

1187
00:53:41,239 --> 00:53:41,479
Speaker 3: Here.

1188
00:53:42,280 --> 00:53:46,759
Speaker 1: The Heat top the yannisless Bucks, one twenty one to

1189
00:53:46,920 --> 00:53:50,279
Speaker 1: ninety nine. This was a dominant victory, though injuries have

1190
00:53:50,320 --> 00:53:53,520
Speaker 1: become the biggest part of this series. The Bucks without

1191
00:53:53,520 --> 00:53:55,640
Speaker 1: Giannis for a second consecutive game because of the Bruce

1192
00:53:55,680 --> 00:53:58,399
Speaker 1: lower back, the Heater without Tyler Hero. Jimmy scored thirty,

1193
00:53:58,440 --> 00:54:01,920
Speaker 1: but he leaves with the sore back, and Oladipo helped

1194
00:54:01,960 --> 00:54:06,080
Speaker 1: off the floor an apparent knee injury. A knee injury

1195
00:54:06,160 --> 00:54:08,239
Speaker 1: did not look good. You know, your heart goes out

1196
00:54:08,280 --> 00:54:10,839
Speaker 1: to that guy. But here we are, Miami is up

1197
00:54:10,880 --> 00:54:14,680
Speaker 1: to one, and yeah, it's like I almost feel like

1198
00:54:14,719 --> 00:54:17,200
Speaker 1: this is not being even talked about enough for some

1199
00:54:17,280 --> 00:54:19,359
Speaker 1: weird reason. I don't know, because there's so much else

1200
00:54:19,400 --> 00:54:21,680
Speaker 1: going on, because we believe in the Bucks as a

1201
00:54:21,719 --> 00:54:24,080
Speaker 1: better team than Miami Heat, even though they're trailing to one.

1202
00:54:24,760 --> 00:54:27,880
Speaker 1: But like Zilla wrote it today, the most consequential question

1203
00:54:28,680 --> 00:54:30,520
Speaker 1: in the entire league right now when it comes to

1204
00:54:30,520 --> 00:54:33,799
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty three Championship is that is when and

1205
00:54:33,840 --> 00:54:38,320
Speaker 1: at what capacity Giannis returns to the floor. Here, it's crazy.

1206
00:54:38,800 --> 00:54:42,160
Speaker 3: Confirmed by Scham's Buckstar Gianis Antetokumpo will return to the

1207
00:54:42,160 --> 00:54:42,879
Speaker 3: lineup in Game four.

1208
00:54:43,080 --> 00:54:46,440
Speaker 1: Okay, but but how does he move? Does he does

1209
00:54:46,480 --> 00:54:48,040
Speaker 1: he fall again? Is he out? I mean?

1210
00:54:48,080 --> 00:54:48,520
Speaker 2: Wrong? Man?

1211
00:54:48,560 --> 00:54:51,800
Speaker 1: This is wild. But anyway, thoughts on the game or

1212
00:54:51,840 --> 00:54:52,640
Speaker 1: the series.

1213
00:54:52,880 --> 00:54:55,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you're pretty positive if you're in that

1214
00:54:56,239 --> 00:54:58,279
Speaker 2: Bucks locker room that Yan's gonna play pretty well because

1215
00:54:58,280 --> 00:55:00,080
Speaker 2: he's yanistat of Kompo. We saw what he did in

1216
00:55:00,120 --> 00:55:04,080
Speaker 2: the NBA Finals. He wanted to come back in Game two,

1217
00:55:04,480 --> 00:55:07,080
Speaker 2: but his Bucks teammates Drew Holliday said, come on, let

1218
00:55:07,200 --> 00:55:10,160
Speaker 2: us do it for you. And I think because they

1219
00:55:10,200 --> 00:55:12,920
Speaker 2: won Game two where they were like a nine point favorite,

1220
00:55:12,960 --> 00:55:15,520
Speaker 2: And I think that's sort of why this series is

1221
00:55:15,600 --> 00:55:17,359
Speaker 2: kind of flying under the radar a bit. The Bucks

1222
00:55:17,360 --> 00:55:20,640
Speaker 2: are just they got they're the favorite, they got so

1223
00:55:20,719 --> 00:55:22,759
Speaker 2: much momentum, they're the best team in the league. They

1224
00:55:22,760 --> 00:55:26,120
Speaker 2: win that game, then they do lose Game three. I

1225
00:55:26,120 --> 00:55:28,799
Speaker 2: think he only sits out because they win game two.

1226
00:55:28,960 --> 00:55:31,799
Speaker 2: So that's why it's not surprising to me that he's

1227
00:55:31,800 --> 00:55:34,279
Speaker 2: coming back, because he's freaking nails here in game four,

1228
00:55:34,320 --> 00:55:36,439
Speaker 2: and Jimmy Butler's gonna play too, because he did leave

1229
00:55:37,200 --> 00:55:41,719
Speaker 2: bruised glute, as they said. But Spolzer said afterward, he

1230
00:55:41,760 --> 00:55:43,520
Speaker 2: could have came back. They were up eighteen when he

1231
00:55:43,600 --> 00:55:45,879
Speaker 2: left the game three minutes left in the third, so

1232
00:55:46,440 --> 00:55:49,240
Speaker 2: we should get you know, besides Tyler Hero and Victor Oladipo.

1233
00:55:49,320 --> 00:55:52,960
Speaker 2: Unfortunately Heat Bucks here with Yeah, a very different series

1234
00:55:53,000 --> 00:55:54,400
Speaker 2: now two to one. But the Heat have caught a

1235
00:55:54,400 --> 00:55:56,000
Speaker 2: wave and that's the scary part for the Bus.

1236
00:55:56,080 --> 00:55:59,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, Duncan Robinson, they're heading then, just like hitting shots here.

1237
00:55:59,760 --> 00:56:02,359
Speaker 2: In the three games here where they've had at least

1238
00:56:02,360 --> 00:56:06,560
Speaker 2: fifteen threes to start this series. And there is a

1239
00:56:06,560 --> 00:56:08,680
Speaker 2: little semblance of that team that went to the Finals

1240
00:56:08,719 --> 00:56:12,080
Speaker 2: where they are flying around. They just keep moving and

1241
00:56:12,120 --> 00:56:15,000
Speaker 2: so they're getting open shots. The Bucks got it can

1242
00:56:15,080 --> 00:56:17,080
Speaker 2: play way better. There was a thirty three to nine

1243
00:56:17,200 --> 00:56:19,879
Speaker 2: run between the first and second quarter where the first

1244
00:56:19,880 --> 00:56:22,520
Speaker 2: play started to start, this one where brook Lopez was

1245
00:56:22,840 --> 00:56:25,840
Speaker 2: in the lane, Jimmy Butler guarding him or Jimmy Butler

1246
00:56:25,840 --> 00:56:27,879
Speaker 2: coming at him, and Brooks said, I'm gonna go guard

1247
00:56:27,920 --> 00:56:29,800
Speaker 2: the three point line, and Jimmy had the easiest bucket

1248
00:56:29,800 --> 00:56:32,600
Speaker 2: he's ever had in his NBA career. And they were

1249
00:56:32,640 --> 00:56:36,399
Speaker 2: ready for the Brook Lopez down low scenario that they

1250
00:56:36,400 --> 00:56:39,120
Speaker 2: weren't ready for in Game two. But are they ready

1251
00:56:39,120 --> 00:56:41,399
Speaker 2: for Yannis Tokopo coming at him? I mean, that's that's

1252
00:56:41,440 --> 00:56:43,640
Speaker 2: what has to happen here. But you have the bench

1253
00:56:43,680 --> 00:56:46,920
Speaker 2: scoring Duncan five threes, Duncan Robinson is back looking like

1254
00:56:46,960 --> 00:56:50,080
Speaker 2: that Finals, Duncan Lowry off the bench, Caleb off the bench.

1255
00:56:50,760 --> 00:56:54,239
Speaker 2: So they feel good. But the Bucks got to stop

1256
00:56:54,239 --> 00:56:55,960
Speaker 2: that wave now. Yeah, they got to do it now

1257
00:56:56,000 --> 00:57:00,000
Speaker 2: before it's three to one. So yeah, Yannis has started,

1258
00:57:00,160 --> 00:57:02,840
Speaker 2: I'm sure and playing a lot. Join us on playback.

1259
00:57:02,920 --> 00:57:03,800
Speaker 2: It'll be fun tonight.

1260
00:57:04,440 --> 00:57:05,960
Speaker 1: Any thoughts your TK on this one.

1261
00:57:06,080 --> 00:57:08,600
Speaker 3: Well, the Heater shooting fifty five percent from the field

1262
00:57:08,600 --> 00:57:11,120
Speaker 3: and fifty percent from three against the best defensive team

1263
00:57:11,160 --> 00:57:13,880
Speaker 3: in the league. Obviously, Giannis has played eleven minutes in

1264
00:57:13,880 --> 00:57:17,520
Speaker 3: this series, but there are other good defenders on the Bucks,

1265
00:57:18,080 --> 00:57:20,000
Speaker 3: so you would think Jimmy Butler they somebody could turn

1266
00:57:20,080 --> 00:57:20,680
Speaker 3: them off a little bit.

1267
00:57:20,720 --> 00:57:20,840
Speaker 1: Here.

1268
00:57:20,840 --> 00:57:23,280
Speaker 3: He's averaging thirty a games, shooting sixty percent from the field.

1269
00:57:23,320 --> 00:57:25,120
Speaker 3: He's been the best player on the court, and the

1270
00:57:25,160 --> 00:57:27,560
Speaker 3: Heat is shooting so well from three. That's why they

1271
00:57:27,560 --> 00:57:29,720
Speaker 3: got the lead in this series, and it's because Giannis

1272
00:57:29,760 --> 00:57:31,840
Speaker 3: is out. That was like one of the big question

1273
00:57:31,920 --> 00:57:34,040
Speaker 3: marks back before they won the title. Remember how many

1274
00:57:34,040 --> 00:57:36,480
Speaker 3: times we would talk about why isn't Yanis guarding Jimmy Butler.

1275
00:57:36,760 --> 00:57:38,800
Speaker 3: That's just not what they do. Somebody's got to guard

1276
00:57:38,840 --> 00:57:41,400
Speaker 3: Jimmy Butler. Though, because the Heater playing pretty solid defense,

1277
00:57:41,400 --> 00:57:43,200
Speaker 3: I think it seemed to me a lot in this

1278
00:57:43,280 --> 00:57:45,320
Speaker 3: game that their zones and just the way they were

1279
00:57:45,320 --> 00:57:48,760
Speaker 3: attacking defensively made the Bucks play one on one a lot,

1280
00:57:48,840 --> 00:57:51,960
Speaker 3: and without Giannis there to draw free throws score inside.

1281
00:57:52,840 --> 00:57:55,120
Speaker 3: They don't necessarily have the greatest one on one players,

1282
00:57:55,160 --> 00:57:56,680
Speaker 3: And if you're talking about the best one on one

1283
00:57:56,720 --> 00:58:00,560
Speaker 3: guys in this series, obviously it's Jimmy Butler. So Yiannis's

1284
00:58:00,800 --> 00:58:03,560
Speaker 3: return is going to obviously change the way things look,

1285
00:58:03,600 --> 00:58:05,640
Speaker 3: but it's going to be a matter of how does

1286
00:58:05,640 --> 00:58:07,960
Speaker 3: his body respond to having been out for a couple

1287
00:58:07,960 --> 00:58:10,960
Speaker 3: of games here and taking a beating in this game,

1288
00:58:11,000 --> 00:58:12,680
Speaker 3: because surely if he's posting up, he's going to be

1289
00:58:12,680 --> 00:58:15,000
Speaker 3: getting hitting the back again by bam outa bay that

1290
00:58:15,080 --> 00:58:16,880
Speaker 3: kind of stuff. Right, He's going to take some bumps

1291
00:58:17,480 --> 00:58:19,439
Speaker 3: in this game. But the Bucks, they're a tough team.

1292
00:58:19,720 --> 00:58:22,080
Speaker 3: Giannis is a tough dude. Should be a cool game.

1293
00:58:22,240 --> 00:58:24,400
Speaker 1: With that game three win, the heater halfway to what

1294
00:58:24,600 --> 00:58:27,640
Speaker 1: would be honestly a stunner, regardless if he's playing or

1295
00:58:27,680 --> 00:58:29,560
Speaker 1: not a number eight seed over a number one seed.

1296
00:58:29,720 --> 00:58:32,240
Speaker 1: It's only happened five times in the NBA since they

1297
00:58:32,280 --> 00:58:35,240
Speaker 1: went to the sixteen team playoff format in eighty four.

1298
00:58:35,520 --> 00:58:39,400
Speaker 1: Twice happened in five game series Denver over Seattle in

1299
00:58:39,480 --> 00:58:42,000
Speaker 1: ninety four, New York over Miami in ninety nine, and

1300
00:58:42,040 --> 00:58:45,040
Speaker 1: then three times in the best of seven series format

1301
00:58:45,360 --> 00:58:48,000
Speaker 1: that we believe Warriors over the MAVs in two thousand

1302
00:58:48,040 --> 00:58:50,840
Speaker 1: and seven, the Grizzlies over the Spurs. I always forget

1303
00:58:50,880 --> 00:58:53,760
Speaker 1: about that one in twenty eleven, and then Trey knows

1304
00:58:53,800 --> 00:58:57,280
Speaker 1: this one all too well. Philly over Chicago in six

1305
00:58:57,360 --> 00:58:59,600
Speaker 1: games in twenty twelve. That's the Derek Rose, that's right,

1306
00:59:00,160 --> 00:59:01,880
Speaker 1: that we were watching together when that went down.

1307
00:59:01,800 --> 00:59:03,280
Speaker 3: Six to eight feet Street six.

1308
00:59:04,720 --> 00:59:07,560
Speaker 1: It's right. I remember sitting on your couch. I was like, Hey,

1309
00:59:07,600 --> 00:59:08,320
Speaker 1: is your wife wearing a.

1310
00:59:08,360 --> 00:59:12,840
Speaker 2: V neck right anywhere? Come on?

1311
00:59:14,440 --> 00:59:18,560
Speaker 1: So final series and it's over. This series wrapped up

1312
00:59:18,560 --> 00:59:21,520
Speaker 1: before they'd even played a couple of game threes. In

1313
00:59:21,560 --> 00:59:23,040
Speaker 1: a couple of the other series. I'm talking about the

1314
00:59:23,040 --> 00:59:25,840
Speaker 1: seventy six ers finishing the sweep of the Nets without

1315
00:59:25,880 --> 00:59:29,680
Speaker 1: Embiid ninety six, eighty eight, Tobias Harris a great game,

1316
00:59:29,720 --> 00:59:32,840
Speaker 1: twenty five and twelve b ball, Paul stepping up for

1317
00:59:32,920 --> 00:59:37,320
Speaker 1: Embiid ten points, fifteen boards, Melton had an incredible fourth quarter.

1318
00:59:37,400 --> 00:59:39,320
Speaker 1: I mean it was sort of similar to Maxi having

1319
00:59:39,400 --> 00:59:42,880
Speaker 1: that incredible fourth quarter of the game before, but no Embiid,

1320
00:59:42,960 --> 00:59:47,080
Speaker 1: and they're saying he's like fifty percent for the potential

1321
00:59:47,120 --> 00:59:48,680
Speaker 1: start of the next series here, but they get the

1322
00:59:48,680 --> 00:59:50,120
Speaker 1: sweep and they get a bunch of time off tests.

1323
00:59:50,200 --> 00:59:52,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's nice for them that the Celtics are at

1324
00:59:52,040 --> 00:59:54,560
Speaker 2: least going five and that they played their game three

1325
00:59:55,320 --> 00:59:58,000
Speaker 2: in game four after well I guess the game three

1326
00:59:58,000 --> 00:59:59,680
Speaker 2: was technically before this is this, But at the end

1327
00:59:59,760 --> 01:00:02,840
Speaker 2: they're getting a few days off here. But the Nets,

1328
01:00:02,840 --> 01:00:05,120
Speaker 2: I'm sure we're heartbroken after Game three after losing that

1329
01:00:05,240 --> 01:00:10,000
Speaker 2: very winnable game, and yeah, some nice learning experience for

1330
01:00:10,080 --> 01:00:12,760
Speaker 2: this team. Mikel Bridge is extremely mad at himself after

1331
01:00:12,840 --> 01:00:15,560
Speaker 2: having an off game. But on the other side, Yeah,

1332
01:00:15,560 --> 01:00:20,360
Speaker 2: the Vets came through. Toby, Toby did it again. Tobias Harris,

1333
01:00:20,360 --> 01:00:22,680
Speaker 2: he's in solid. Yeah, I had a great open in round.

1334
01:00:22,760 --> 01:00:25,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, don't forget Tobias Harris plays for the Sixers. Sometimes

1335
01:00:25,840 --> 01:00:26,320
Speaker 3: it's easy.

1336
01:00:26,760 --> 01:00:31,640
Speaker 2: He's making James Harden's lousy series forgettable. People are forgetting

1337
01:00:31,680 --> 01:00:34,480
Speaker 2: that he's used a subpar four of eighteen in this game.

1338
01:00:34,520 --> 01:00:36,800
Speaker 2: It doesn't matter. They're onto the second round and they

1339
01:00:36,800 --> 01:00:40,040
Speaker 2: get a little bit of rn R. So, yeah, they

1340
01:00:40,360 --> 01:00:43,000
Speaker 2: couldn't have worked out better for them anything.

1341
01:00:43,200 --> 01:00:45,040
Speaker 3: I don't have a lot of takes on this one.

1342
01:00:45,040 --> 01:00:46,800
Speaker 3: I think the biggest news out of it is that

1343
01:00:46,840 --> 01:00:48,960
Speaker 3: they get the rest for Embead and that's kind of

1344
01:00:49,320 --> 01:00:51,560
Speaker 3: what the rest of the Sixers echoed afterwards. Getting the

1345
01:00:51,600 --> 01:00:54,600
Speaker 3: big fellow healthy, that's our number one priority, says James Harden.

1346
01:00:54,960 --> 01:00:57,520
Speaker 3: But yeah, Harris played a really good series. I thought

1347
01:00:57,520 --> 01:00:59,840
Speaker 3: he made a lot of clutch plays in Game three,

1348
01:01:00,080 --> 01:01:02,120
Speaker 3: then obviously had this big Game four here as well.

1349
01:01:02,400 --> 01:01:05,040
Speaker 3: And Beeboll Paul I feel like has had a solid

1350
01:01:05,080 --> 01:01:08,840
Speaker 3: series as the backup center as well. Embiid was good

1351
01:01:08,880 --> 01:01:10,760
Speaker 3: when he was on the court, was not dominant the

1352
01:01:10,800 --> 01:01:12,840
Speaker 3: way we've seen. The Nets did a solid job of

1353
01:01:12,960 --> 01:01:16,720
Speaker 3: taking him out of rhythm and just making his touches harder.

1354
01:01:16,920 --> 01:01:19,360
Speaker 3: But Paul Reid just gave a ton of effort coming

1355
01:01:19,400 --> 01:01:21,479
Speaker 3: off the bench. Was in the right place a lot

1356
01:01:22,040 --> 01:01:25,280
Speaker 3: in this series. Ten points, fifteen boards, and this win,

1357
01:01:25,440 --> 01:01:29,120
Speaker 3: so good stuff from him. The Sixers, I don't know

1358
01:01:30,080 --> 01:01:32,360
Speaker 3: a sweep. A sweep's cool. They haven't had won a

1359
01:01:32,400 --> 01:01:34,480
Speaker 3: sweep for a long time. There were times when it

1360
01:01:34,480 --> 01:01:36,320
Speaker 3: looked great and then there were times when it looked like, oh,

1361
01:01:36,320 --> 01:01:38,680
Speaker 3: you got some things to work on before going up

1362
01:01:38,720 --> 01:01:41,080
Speaker 3: against the Boston Celtics. But now they got what at

1363
01:01:41,160 --> 01:01:42,720
Speaker 3: least a week to game plan. That's good.

1364
01:01:42,880 --> 01:01:44,919
Speaker 1: It would be better if it was a sweep and

1365
01:01:45,000 --> 01:01:48,040
Speaker 1: Embiid had somehow managed to not get injured and get hurt.

1366
01:01:48,840 --> 01:01:51,000
Speaker 1: You'd feel maybe a little bit more confidence heading into

1367
01:01:51,280 --> 01:01:54,200
Speaker 1: an inevitable series against the Celtics. But he may not

1368
01:01:54,240 --> 01:01:56,960
Speaker 1: play in Game one. Are they sand bagging us here?

1369
01:01:57,680 --> 01:01:59,360
Speaker 3: You think Doc is a big bag of sam that's

1370
01:01:59,400 --> 01:02:01,480
Speaker 3: a big old I mean he was let.

1371
01:02:01,360 --> 01:02:03,960
Speaker 1: That bag of sand on the back of ear basketball hoop.

1372
01:02:04,840 --> 01:02:06,680
Speaker 2: It some very hand helps, very windy at times.

1373
01:02:07,000 --> 01:02:10,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you're right, You're probably right. Can we just

1374
01:02:10,680 --> 01:02:13,040
Speaker 1: wrap up the crazy Nets season here? There was a

1375
01:02:13,080 --> 01:02:16,720
Speaker 1: fun tweet going around from at Adam Arecchio sort of

1376
01:02:16,760 --> 01:02:18,680
Speaker 1: going through and I even added some that I thought

1377
01:02:18,680 --> 01:02:21,160
Speaker 1: he missed. This is what happened this season for the

1378
01:02:21,160 --> 01:02:25,640
Speaker 1: Brooklyn Nets Kyrie. He threatens a mid level signing in LA,

1379
01:02:25,720 --> 01:02:28,840
Speaker 1: then he opts into his contract, KT demands a trade.

1380
01:02:29,520 --> 01:02:32,880
Speaker 1: Kat Rescinds said, trade. The Nets start the season two

1381
01:02:32,920 --> 01:02:37,240
Speaker 1: and five. They fire Steve Nash. It looks like Emi

1382
01:02:37,320 --> 01:02:40,480
Speaker 1: Udoka is going to get the job instead. Jacqu Vaughan

1383
01:02:41,040 --> 01:02:45,080
Speaker 1: gets the extension Kyrie is suspended for sharing a link

1384
01:02:45,120 --> 01:02:48,040
Speaker 1: to an anti Semitic film. He returns to the team

1385
01:02:48,480 --> 01:02:51,560
Speaker 1: after missing you know, decent amount of games. Nets win

1386
01:02:51,680 --> 01:02:55,840
Speaker 1: eighteen out of twenty. They're rolling again. Katie gets hurt,

1387
01:02:56,720 --> 01:02:59,640
Speaker 1: Kyrie gets traded to the Mavericks. Katie gets traded to

1388
01:02:59,680 --> 01:03:03,080
Speaker 1: the Sun. Cam Thomas becomes the youngest player in NBA

1389
01:03:03,200 --> 01:03:07,720
Speaker 1: history with three straight forty point games. The Cam Thomas Week. Yeah,

1390
01:03:07,840 --> 01:03:11,000
Speaker 1: mckil bridges appears to turn into at least an all star,

1391
01:03:11,480 --> 01:03:14,600
Speaker 1: plays really well down the stretch with his new teammates,

1392
01:03:14,680 --> 01:03:17,440
Speaker 1: you know, despite sort of like a middling five hundred record.

1393
01:03:17,760 --> 01:03:20,479
Speaker 1: And then the Nets wrap up this weird season getting

1394
01:03:20,520 --> 01:03:24,080
Speaker 1: swept by the Philadelphia seventy six ers. That all happened

1395
01:03:24,920 --> 01:03:28,400
Speaker 1: in one season here for the Brooklyn Nets. And there's

1396
01:03:28,400 --> 01:03:30,200
Speaker 1: probably many more other things you could put in there,

1397
01:03:30,200 --> 01:03:33,640
Speaker 1: but wild And now now the rumor is, oh, Damian

1398
01:03:33,680 --> 01:03:36,760
Speaker 1: Lillard's at this game. The Brooklyn Net's gonna trade for

1399
01:03:36,800 --> 01:03:40,440
Speaker 1: Damian Lillard. They're gonna trade Ben Simmons contract and Patty

1400
01:03:40,480 --> 01:03:43,520
Speaker 1: Mills and a bunch of these unprotected Sons picks and

1401
01:03:43,560 --> 01:03:45,360
Speaker 1: maybe their own. And they got a MAVs one like

1402
01:03:46,360 --> 01:03:48,560
Speaker 1: they're gonna get Lillard to pair with mckel bridges and

1403
01:03:48,840 --> 01:03:51,080
Speaker 1: Nick Claxon, who's turned into a really good defender.

1404
01:03:51,240 --> 01:03:53,360
Speaker 2: Head coach Jock Vaughn has asked about it after the game. Hey,

1405
01:03:53,440 --> 01:03:55,000
Speaker 2: you see Damian Lillard goes, what.

1406
01:03:56,760 --> 01:03:57,480
Speaker 3: Are you serious?

1407
01:03:57,560 --> 01:04:00,640
Speaker 2: I've never seen him more excited? You know something, He

1408
01:04:00,920 --> 01:04:05,440
Speaker 2: was jacked. I mean, I think he's just a Lillard fan. Uh.

1409
01:04:05,520 --> 01:04:08,400
Speaker 2: People hang out in New York, they go to games. Yeah,

1410
01:04:11,040 --> 01:04:15,080
Speaker 2: well they do, but but obviously there's because because of a

1411
01:04:15,160 --> 01:04:20,320
Speaker 2: Lillard situation. You gotta yeah, you start to think they do.

1412
01:04:20,360 --> 01:04:23,200
Speaker 2: They have piece. What's Joe Cronin gonna?

1413
01:04:24,560 --> 01:04:29,320
Speaker 1: Okay, anyway, a weird season, but in the end they

1414
01:04:29,320 --> 01:04:31,880
Speaker 1: get swept there, ultimately by the Philadelphia seventy six ers.

1415
01:04:32,000 --> 01:04:34,720
Speaker 1: Moving on our first team through to the second round.

1416

1431
01:05:26,080 --> 01:05:31,520
Speaker 1: ninja turtles. Everybody did. Jeff ban Gundy quoted as saying,

1432
01:05:31,520 --> 01:05:34,200
Speaker 1: in nineteen eighty three, I visited something called a human

1433
01:05:34,320 --> 01:05:37,640

1439
01:05:52,320 --> 01:05:54,800
Speaker 1: of fun with this one, right, like the random line

1440
01:05:54,840 --> 01:05:57,520

01:06:21,120 --> 01:06:23,680

1448
01:06:23,760 --> 01:06:27,320
Speaker 3: ninja turtles were turtles. Yeah, there were trench coats. You

1449

01:07:15,200 --> 01:07:15,880
Speaker 2: It's pretty neat.

1466
01:07:15,960 --> 01:07:17,000
Speaker 1: Take some photos in there.

1467
01:07:17,800 --> 01:07:18,800

1470
01:07:25,360 --> 01:07:29,880
Speaker 1: Tonight's games bucks heat We are on playback seven thirty.

1471
01:07:30,320 --> 01:07:32,760
Speaker 1: We'll get underway. It's on TNT. Miami leads US one

1472
01:07:32,800 --> 01:07:35,439
Speaker 1: to one, but Yiannis is playing Jimmy, we assume is playing.

1473
01:07:35,440 --> 01:07:37,920
Speaker 1: Everybody's playing except for Tyler Hero and Victor O Latipo.

1474
01:07:38,640 --> 01:07:41,960
Speaker 1: And look, look, hey, look I'll see it. I'll say,

1475
01:07:42,080 --> 01:07:44,840
Speaker 1: God damn it. There's a must win for the Milwaukee Bus.

1476
01:07:45,480 --> 01:07:47,520
Speaker 1: I don't like betting against like the chances of Jimmy

1477
01:07:47,520 --> 01:07:50,600
Speaker 1: Butler a lead team losing three, you know, three in

1478
01:07:50,640 --> 01:07:53,800
Speaker 1: a row. I don't know, so huge, huge win or

1479
01:07:53,880 --> 01:07:56,200
Speaker 1: game excuse me for the Milwaukee Bucks tonight in Miami,

1480
01:07:56,240 --> 01:07:57,680
Speaker 1: and we'll see if he can take a three and lead.

1481
01:07:57,800 --> 01:08:00,280
Speaker 1: And then the second game is Grizzlies Lakers at ten

1482
01:08:00,320 --> 01:08:02,560
Speaker 1: o'clock LA leading that series two to one.

1483
01:08:03,440 --> 01:08:06,400
Speaker 2: It's very very nice to start at ten, not ten thirty. Yeah,

1484
01:08:06,600 --> 01:08:06,920
Speaker 2: thank you.

1485
01:08:07,000 --> 01:08:09,760
Speaker 1: I do like that. Well, I mean, what's wrong with

1486
01:08:09,760 --> 01:08:10,800
Speaker 1: a seven and nine thirty?

1487
01:08:11,040 --> 01:08:14,760
Speaker 2: Oh, nothing wrong with that. They know that heat fans

1488
01:08:14,760 --> 01:08:16,760
Speaker 2: aren't going to show up for seven, so they got

1489
01:08:16,800 --> 01:08:19,960
Speaker 2: to get seven thirty. That's true. We all know they

1490
01:08:20,000 --> 01:08:23,280
Speaker 2: show up late, except for Ludomila in the front row.

1491
01:08:23,320 --> 01:08:27,599
Speaker 2: She'll be there dress on. But everybody else shows up late.

1492
01:08:28,160 --> 01:08:29,160
Speaker 2: She makes her own dresses.

1493
01:08:29,400 --> 01:08:31,200
Speaker 1: I know she's.

1494
01:08:31,080 --> 01:08:34,240
Speaker 3: An opera singer, right, it's famous opera singer. Jim Jackson

1495
01:08:34,240 --> 01:08:34,599
Speaker 3: knows her.

1496
01:08:34,960 --> 01:08:37,439
Speaker 1: We're talking about the woman that you see at one

1497
01:08:37,479 --> 01:08:39,519
Speaker 1: time in the front row of every heat game that

1498
01:08:39,600 --> 01:08:42,720
Speaker 1: has like the most eclectic dresses and sometimes the other

1499
01:08:42,880 --> 01:08:45,720
Speaker 1: jerseys sewn in the dresses, but she switches it up.

1500
01:08:45,800 --> 01:08:48,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, Jim Jackson. I guess it was early in this series,

1501
01:08:48,920 --> 01:08:50,840
Speaker 2: or I think so the Playing game.

1502
01:08:51,280 --> 01:08:53,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe it was the playing game. He is somebody

1503
01:08:53,680 --> 01:08:57,120
Speaker 3: whoever he was broadcasting with noticed her sitting on the sideline.

1504
01:08:57,120 --> 01:08:59,320
Speaker 3: He's like, oh, yeah, she's a world famous singer. I

1505
01:08:59,360 --> 01:09:00,720
Speaker 3: know her. I play in a lot of cities. I

1506
01:09:00,800 --> 01:09:03,479
Speaker 3: met a lot of people side, which I thought was

1507
01:09:03,479 --> 01:09:04,040
Speaker 3: pretty funny.

1508
01:09:04,080 --> 01:09:06,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, then he said it, Yeah, I would I wouldn't

1509
01:09:06,240 --> 01:09:09,080
Speaker 2: be doing my job, would be be almost dumb, a

1510
01:09:09,120 --> 01:09:11,920
Speaker 2: disservice to myself if I didn't meet these people. That's

1511
01:09:11,960 --> 01:09:14,200
Speaker 2: good way, that's the way of thinking about it, Jimmy.

1512
01:09:16,160 --> 01:09:18,200
Speaker 2: I had to google her. He just knows her.

1513
01:09:18,320 --> 01:09:22,000
Speaker 1: I was catching up on some press Box podcasts this weekend,

1514
01:09:22,200 --> 01:09:26,080
Speaker 1: and one of them was Brian and Shoemaker talking about

1515
01:09:26,200 --> 01:09:29,240
Speaker 1: are we in the golden age of NBA broadcasting, And

1516
01:09:29,280 --> 01:09:33,160
Speaker 1: their point was we have Mike Breen, Kevin Harlan, and

1517
01:09:33,400 --> 01:09:37,519
Speaker 1: and Eagle in their primes when it comes to calling James,

1518
01:09:37,600 --> 01:09:42,040
Speaker 1: I was like, that's three like a plus basically like

1519
01:09:42,320 --> 01:09:44,360
Speaker 1: legends are on their way to legends and like and

1520
01:09:44,400 --> 01:09:46,599
Speaker 1: then and then I'm like Mark Jones is like, I

1521
01:09:46,640 --> 01:09:48,680
Speaker 1: love Mark Jones on the call him in doors had

1522
01:09:48,680 --> 01:09:49,920
Speaker 1: a bit of a rough one there, I thought maybe

1523
01:09:49,920 --> 01:09:52,200
Speaker 1: in game four, but I like him as a as

1524
01:09:52,200 --> 01:09:54,479
Speaker 1: a national guy too. I think I think the answer

1525
01:09:54,520 --> 01:09:56,439
Speaker 1: is yes, it's a golden age.

1526
01:09:56,880 --> 01:10:00,280
Speaker 2: I just gotta agree. I gotta agree it's golden. Baby.

1527
01:10:00,320 --> 01:10:05,439
Speaker 1: How do you rate them in terms of your preference Breen, Harlan, Eagle.

1528
01:10:05,520 --> 01:10:07,200
Speaker 1: I know it has to do with who they're working

1529
01:10:07,200 --> 01:10:09,080
Speaker 1: in the game with, but just the play by play

1530
01:10:09,720 --> 01:10:11,120
Speaker 1: of it all in a playoff.

1531
01:10:10,720 --> 01:10:14,839
Speaker 2: Game, PA is doing a good job as well. Hey,

1532
01:10:14,920 --> 01:10:17,599
Speaker 2: look but but we're talking yeah, we're just talking legends

1533
01:10:17,600 --> 01:10:20,519
