1
00:00:01,480 --> 00:00:03,280
Speaker 1: Like a lot of people, over the last few years,

2
00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:06,720
Speaker 1: I've started to accumulate a lot hortable speakers. I've got

3
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:08,880
Speaker 1: some blue thing, a gray one, and one or two

4
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:11,600
Speaker 1: others and or they look different, they all have one

5
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:14,880
Speaker 1: thing in common. I start using it, things are going okay,

6
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:17,120
Speaker 1: but then the connection starts to get a bit spotty.

7
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:19,959
Speaker 1: The battery runs down quickly, and I'm frustrated, and I

8
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:23,480
Speaker 1: start looking around by a new one, a reliable one. Finally,

9
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:26,200
Speaker 1: I think I've found one that will end that frustration,

10
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 1: because thanks to Sonos, I've been using their wireless streaming

11
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:34,600
Speaker 1: smart speaker and it is awesome, cool design, lightweight and audible.

12
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:36,919
Speaker 1: So when I move around my house from room to room,

13
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:38,600
Speaker 1: or even when I go outside and wash the car,

14
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 1: I take my Sonas with me. It's so easy to

15
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 1: set up and charge and has a long battery life,

16
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:47,320
Speaker 1: which is so important. It means I can rock out

17
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 1: all day without having to worry about recharging, which right now,

18
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 1: considering how much time I'm spending at home, is great.

Speaker 3: we push it back a little into the show. Let's

51
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,080
Speaker 3: push it back. Let's push it back. Let's start in

52
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 3: the Western Conference. Paul George, Kawhi Leonard. They lead the

53
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 3: Clippers to the one thirteen, one oh seven win and

54
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 3: now have the two to one series lead over the Nuggets.

55
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 3: Really entertaining game, Lee, what's your big takeaway?

56
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 1: Good intense playoff game? This one was really went down

57
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 1: to the wall. The Nuggets put themselves in a good

58
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 1: spot to win there with about eight minutes to go.

59
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 1: They led this game, and then you saw what the

60
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 1: Clippers are really capable of at both ends of the floor.

61
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 1: Great defense, even better offense on the exec Look, I

62
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 1: don't know what I'm saying here. I've been a rattle

63
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 1: after last night, but their offensive execution was great and

64
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 1: they're two stars Paul George and Kawhi Leonnard at both

65
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:22,360
Speaker 1: ends of the floor throughout the game a lot, but

66
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 1: really down the end there, locked up the Nuggets on

67
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 1: one end and then went out there and Kawhi Leonard

68
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:28,399
Speaker 1: was being a bit of a distributor on the offensive

69
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 1: end and also scoring baskets. And this is kind of

70
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:34,079
Speaker 1: the Clippers saying, you know, this is an intense game,

71
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 1: this is a playoff game. This is what it comes

72
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 1: down to. But they were able to execute just a

73
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 1: little bit better and to win this game and take

74
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 1: control back of this series. But Denver played a fantastic

75
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 1: game Nicola Jokic I thought was fantastic. But they are

76
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 1: really missing that second punch from Jamal Murray which they

77
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 1: got in that first round series against the den Nuggets.

78
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 1: And a large reason is because of the defense that

79
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 1: the Clippers are throwing it and Paul George again, he

80
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 1: was just great on him, and Jamal Murray just can't

81
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 1: sort of unlock that floor that he got against Utah

82
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 1: where he could rattle off ten or fifteen points in

83
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 1: a row and sort of get his game going. And

84
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 1: that's going to be the big question going forward now

85
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 1: whether or not he can do that. But given that

86
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 1: the defense that he's seeing from the Clippers, it's just

87
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 1: a better defensive team than the Utah Jazz. He's not

88
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,280
Speaker 1: getting those open looks. He's not able to penetrate as easily,

89
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 1: and that is something that the Nuggets are missing now. Again.

90
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,919
Speaker 1: Last night, they got contribution from Porter and Jeremy Grant

91
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:28,719
Speaker 1: was good, but without that real big game from Jamal Murray,

92
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 1: it's sort of tough to see how the Nuggets will

93
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:32,840
Speaker 1: be able to certainly to win this series. They may

94
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 1: be able to extend it, but where they are right now,

95
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 1: the Clippers just have both ends of the floor. The

96
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:41,040
Speaker 1: Clippers have so many different options and different answers, and

97
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 1: I think that's why they won the game last night.

98
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 1: Defense wins and in the playoffs, it came down to

99
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 1: that stretch run and the Clippers locked them up and

100
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 1: then they went and scored and the Nuggets couldn't really

101
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 1: stop them.

102
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was the Nuggets were up, yeah, like seven

103
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 3: or eight points there and late, you know, in the

104
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 3: fourth quarter, midway, I guess, or a little bit more

105
00:04:57,600 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 3: than that, and I was starting to wrap my head

106
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 3: around Tassa Nuggets rockets Western Conference Finals. I was starting

107
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:05,600
Speaker 3: to picture it. Oh my god, that'd be weird. But yeah,

108
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 3: Rivers called the time out, sort of calmed them down,

109
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 3: and then they came out really focused on defense. They

110
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 3: went on like that fourteen to four run. They took

111
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 3: the lead and never relinquished it. So did the Nuggets

112
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 3: sort of task do you think they sort of I

113
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 3: don't want to say blew their chances, but you know

114
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 3: they needed that one last night. You know, they played

115
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:23,840
Speaker 3: really good and then give it up in the fourth.

116
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 3: They win that one, they maybe have a chance of

117
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 3: taking this thing, but otherwise now they're playing from behind.

118
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 3: They got to win three out of four. It's like,

119
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 3: I don't know if the odds are good here for them.

120
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,919
Speaker 6: This one they absolutely had to have. They controlled the

121
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 6: whole game up until the last few minutes. They needed

122
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 6: their superstar to help them, you know, bust out of

123
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 6: a nineteen point fourth quarter. That's what Jamal Murray is for.

124
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:49,480
Speaker 6: You just absolutely needed him. What the Jazz did differently

125
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 6: than what the Clippers are doing is that they allowed

126
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 6: Jamal Murray's space throughout the game. They fell back on

127
00:05:55,800 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 6: the picks, while these guys on the Clippers they press up.

128
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:04,039
Speaker 6: They definitely hop over that pick and they're trailing. They're

129
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 6: always trailing Jamal Murray because Nikoliokich is such a big body.

130
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 6: But they fight over and there are a couple steps behind.

131
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 6: I think all that throughout the game just helped sort

132
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 6: of throw Jamal Murray off in the fourth quarter because

133
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:20,479
Speaker 6: he had space. He definitely had space again, Nikola Jokic

134
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,840
Speaker 6: creates space. He's Jamal Murray's.

135
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:24,159
Speaker 5: Going to his right.

136
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 6: There's a window as soon as he goes around that pick.

137
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 6: He just had to rise and fire.

138
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:29,839
Speaker 5: But he didn't.

139
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:32,039
Speaker 6: He kept passing the ball and that's why he had

140
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,359
Speaker 6: a bad shooting night, and that's why they lost. They

141
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:38,040
Speaker 6: desperately needed his points there towards the end, and it

142
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:41,039
Speaker 6: was real, real close. The Denver Nuggets were so great

143
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 6: in this game. I regret not giving them enough credit

144
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,159
Speaker 6: for tying this series up because then they just continued

145
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:51,479
Speaker 6: into this game. Nikola Jokich was an absolute beast in

146
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:55,479
Speaker 6: this game, doing everything for his team, and everybody was

147
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 6: chipping in.

148
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,600
Speaker 5: Jeremy Grant was chipping in, but.

149
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 6: He just couldn't hit a couple of those shots that

150
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 6: Jamal Murray passed up in the late fourth quarter to

151
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 6: take them over the top. The fact that Ivitsa Zubats

152
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 6: fouled out in this game, it showed it highlighted the

153
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 6: Clippers only real weakness, which is playing big, just having

154
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 6: another big man to throw at Nikoli Jokich. Ivitsa zubats

155
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 6: I thought showed so much poison in this game. He's

156
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 6: been around the league, you know, for a few years.

157
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 6: But the twenty three year old is really just playing

158
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 6: in his first playoffs here as a main guy. And

159
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 6: he had two fouls really early, just a couple of

160
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 6: minutes into the game, ten thirty left in the first quarter.

161
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 6: He had two fouls, but he stayed in and he

162
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 6: fought Nikola Jokic throughout the game. And only even though

163
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 6: he played only twenty minutes, they needed every one of

164
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 6: those seconds because they go to Montres Harald and then

165
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 6: they got to start doubling. And those last four minutes

166
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 6: after he fouled out, I thought the Nuggets were going

167
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 6: to get enough open shots because they have to double,

168
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 6: and they were, but they couldn't capitalize. And so that's

169
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 6: a nineteen point fourth quarter. I mean, really, it's up

170
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 6: to your starts to make this happen, and it was

171
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 6: up to Jamal Murray, and.

172
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 5: I just thought he had it.

173
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 6: But the again, the Clippers defense and the way they

174
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 6: play things, the way they pressure him just kind of

175
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 6: took him out of his rhythm, and they just they.

176
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 5: Just couldn't get there in the end. But man, yeah,

177
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:18,679
Speaker 5: it was a great, really great performance.

178
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, what'd you think, Trey Well?

179
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 4: I wanted a twelve inch from NICOLEA. Jokicic for this

180
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 4: entire playoffs, and we almost got it yesterday. We got

181
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 4: an eleven inch. He came out, he hit first, and

182
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 4: he was great, Like Tasa saying, he fouled out Zubots,

183
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 4: he almost filed out Jamichael Green, he almost filed out

184
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:36,840
Speaker 4: Montrez Harrell. But then for the last two minutes he

185
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:39,080
Speaker 4: was content to hang around the perimeter and pass up

186
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:40,960
Speaker 4: open threes when he could have been taken them. Once

187
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 4: Zubots goes out of the game, we could have seen

188
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 4: more post ups. Jokich has been a clutch guy for

189
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:47,320
Speaker 4: the Nuggets all season long. I thought he was great

190
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 4: last night. I thought he had a great rhythm going,

191
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:51,680
Speaker 4: but for whatever reason, he didn't do it in the

192
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 4: last one minute of the game. The Nuggets could have

193
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 4: won this They should have won this game. They played

194
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:57,560
Speaker 4: harder than the Clippers did for the entirety of the night.

195
00:08:57,559 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 4: The Clippers really turned it on in the fourth quarter.

196
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 4: I think Yokic could have won this game for him

197
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 4: if he would have been a little bit more aggressive

198
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 4: there in the fourth quarter. Jeremy Grant was missing, Murray

199
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 4: was missing. Jokic had a couple of open shots that

200
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:10,200
Speaker 4: he just didn't take. He likes to make the right play.

201
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 4: We all understand that he's a great passer, but sometimes

202
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 4: you got to use that boost and get a bucket.

203
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 4: And I think that the Nuggets could have won this one,

204
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,200
Speaker 4: and I think Jokic will probably regret not being the

205
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 4: man down the stretch. Yeah, Murray could have done it,

206
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 4: but it doesn't seem like this is his series. This

207
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:24,959
Speaker 4: is a series where Yokic needs to be their number

208
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 4: one guy. He was for the majority of the game

209
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 4: last night, just a little short in the fourth quarter.

210
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 3: Yeah. What did you think of Patrick Beverly's comments after

211
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 3: the game comparing Jokic to Luka. I guess said he

212
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:38,680
Speaker 3: was quote a lot of flailing. This is Beverly talking

213
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 3: about Jokic, and I guess sort of. Luka too, puts

214
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 3: a lot of pressure on the referees to make the

215
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 3: right call, and then they relayed this to Jokic and

216
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:47,200
Speaker 3: he had to clarify what the hell is flailing mean?

217
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 3: And then he's like, oh, nobody know, they took a

218
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:51,200
Speaker 3: lot more free throws than us. What is he talking about?

219
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 3: What did you think of Beverly here having to have,

220
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 3: you know, having to get a little dig in despite

221
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 3: a monster game from Yolkic, Like you said, thirty two

222
00:09:58,160 --> 00:09:58,560
Speaker 3: to twelve and.

223
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 4: Eight, Patrick would definitely know what flopping and flailing is,

224
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:05,080
Speaker 4: so I guess they trust him here. But the Nuggets

225
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 4: shot ten free throws on the note, you can't be

226
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 4: complaining that much about files. Yeah, all the big guys

227
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:11,199
Speaker 4: kept filing because they couldn't guard yo kids for the

228
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 4: majority of the night. But it wasn't sending him to

229
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 4: the line. I don't see what the big deal is.

230
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,840
Speaker 1: That's just Patrick Beverly though. You know, he's always looking

231
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:20,439
Speaker 1: to sort of start trouble. Like you go back to

232
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 1: game two why he got ejected because he was upset

233
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 1: at the referees for not calling his flops, you know,

234
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 1: So for him to call somebody else out there for

235
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 1: trying to embellish contact and create fouls and they didn't

236
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 1: even get called, it's just ridiculous. So he's I mean,

237
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 1: he's a good player. He brings something to the table

238
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 1: there for the Clippers, but he also is, like Bill

239
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:40,680
Speaker 1: Simmon says about guys, he takes a lot off because

240
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 1: you just don't know if he can control his emotions

241
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 1: or if that's going to cost him or his team

242
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:45,200
Speaker 1: at some point.

243
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 3: Well cost him twenty five thousand dollars after me.

244
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:49,960
Speaker 1: But you know, like just that lack of sort of

245
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:53,680
Speaker 1: that lack of emotional discipline at times, because every player

246
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 1: feels when they get called for a foul, you know,

247
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 1: I didn't touch him, I didn't touch it, but then

248
00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 1: they kind of move on from it. But he's someone

249
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:02,079
Speaker 1: who likes to sometime just keep going and keep driving

250
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 1: the point him to the referees to the point where

251
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:07,079
Speaker 1: it just becomes absurd. So yeah, I mean, he's a

252
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 1: good defender, but he he flops. He's always trying to

253
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 1: embellish contact. So for him to call someone else else

254
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:13,960
Speaker 1: out is just ridiculous.

255
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:16,080
Speaker 3: It was pretty incredible that he called out two people

256
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 3: in one quote too, ripped.

257
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:21,840
Speaker 4: On Luca too and Lucas still in their heads. That's

258
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 4: crazy that Luca don just still in their heads.

259
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:26,440
Speaker 3: Great point. Great point. One player though definitely wasn't a

260
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:28,200
Speaker 3: foul is maybe the highlight of the game, though Michael

261
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 3: Porter Junior did have a big dunk on Montre Herro

262
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:35,440
Speaker 3: Kawhi's middle finger blog on Jamal Murray just throwing it

263
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:39,200
Speaker 3: up like that bomb get out of here. Incredible, incredible.

264
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 3: I couldn't believe Jamal Murray was trying to dunk it.

265
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:44,199
Speaker 3: I was like, wow, respect, Like he's cocking it back.

266
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:45,720
Speaker 3: He's going to give this a go. He's been having

267
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 3: a rough game, a rough series against all these defenders

268
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:51,200
Speaker 3: like Task was talking about, but Kawhi just denies them,

269
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:54,320
Speaker 3: and the photos and the videos are truly amazing. He

270
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 3: blocks it with his giant hand first, but as it

271
00:11:57,040 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 3: goes down it ends up just being his huge middle finger.

272
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 3: And you just don't see that often, Tasks, that's a

273
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 3: unique one, for sure.

274
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 6: You can't test that, dude, You just you don't see

275
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:11,720
Speaker 6: that very often. But it's Kawhi Leonards, so it's not

276
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:14,840
Speaker 6: surprising that he's got the strongest fingers in the game.

277
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 5: I think that's clear.

278
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 3: What did what did Reggie say? We talk about the

279
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 3: hands a lot about Kawhi, but what about the fingers?

280
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 5: Interesting?

281
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, interesting, kind of like it is your face part

282
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 4: of your head. It is just like your fingers are

283
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:31,719
Speaker 4: part of your hand. But it just sounds weird. They

284
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:34,960
Speaker 4: feel different, don't they. I don't think they actually feel different.

285
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 3: Lee, Sorry, we're gonna say that.

286
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 1: Well, just Brian Windhorst had it in his article this morning.

287
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:42,560
Speaker 1: You know how Kawhi described it. You know, he said

288
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 1: I was side helped, so I stepped up and decided

289
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 1: to contest the shot. And I've seen at the end

290
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 1: he was going to try to dunk and just you know,

291
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 1: reached and tried to block the shot. You know, I

292
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:53,840
Speaker 1: ended up getting a block. Like everyone else was going

293
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:57,080
Speaker 1: completely mad. Why Yeah, I was just playing defense.

294
00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:00,560
Speaker 3: That's like I think I saw some and tweet this

295
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 3: like Kawhi first dominant as he's been throughout so many

296
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:09,680
Speaker 3: playoff runs. Of course for other teams try and think

297
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 3: of like playoff Kawhi moments, and it's not a lot

298
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:15,960
Speaker 3: right for a superstar really. I mean, it's of course

299
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 3: the shot, I mean, hands down Game seven versus the Sixers,

300
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 3: and then it's like where else do you go? Like,

301
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:24,320
Speaker 3: what are like the like they had the big dunk

302
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:26,520
Speaker 3: against the Bucks. I guess that there's huge big left

303
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:30,199
Speaker 3: hand dunk in transition? What what else is there? I mean,

304
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:31,960
Speaker 3: this is like I think, on the short list in

305
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:35,199
Speaker 3: terms of just high light sort of memorable memorable plays,

306
00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 3: and this, you know, goes perfectly with Kawhi as the

307
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:40,440
Speaker 3: player and his whole attitude and everything. It's it's dunkin like,

308
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:42,960
Speaker 3: I mean, it really is. But am I forgetting anything?

309
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 4: Like you have a lefty dunk against the Bucks last

310
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:46,840
Speaker 4: year that was pretty big down the lane.

311
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:47,079
Speaker 3: Yeah.

312
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:50,719
Speaker 4: Another one I would suggest is when he was with

313
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:52,840
Speaker 4: the Spurs and he checks into the game and there's

314
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 4: that shot of Lebron at the free throw line and

315
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 4: like Lebron looks over at Kwhi and it's like rolls

316
00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 4: his eyes, like this guy's back in. I think that's

317
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:00,440
Speaker 4: sort of a Kawhi more sure.

318
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 1: And I think in that same series where there's a

319
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:05,080
Speaker 1: time out by called by the Heat and Pop is

320
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 1: kind of like punching Kawai because he did something. I

321
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:09,680
Speaker 1: can't remember what he actually did, but you sort of

322
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 1: that was the moment where Pop was like, all right,

323
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 1: this guy is a legit star. But I think I

324
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 1: guess it was on the defensive end. I suppose.

325
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, No, there's just not a lot though for exam

326
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 3: like a superstar level guy that's been in tons of

327
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 3: playoff series. It's he just goes about his business. Filled

328
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 3: up the box score again last night, even though he

329
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 3: didn't shoot incredibly efficient. But it was playoff p Paul,

330
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 3: it was playoff p Tass. We're all discombobulated.

331
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:34,440
Speaker 5: Here this morning.

332
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 3: There's this Raptors shuck. Let's be honest, but he had

333
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 3: an incredible game. Thirty two points, twelve of eighteen from

334
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 3: the floor, five three pointers, and as you guys have

335
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 3: sprinkled in here, I mean, he really completely shut down

336
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:47,920
Speaker 3: Jamal Murray when he was locked up on him.

337
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 5: Test.

338
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 6: Yeah, he did a great job fighting over the picks

339
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 6: and just being around Jamal Murray. He fought a lot,

340
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 6: and I like how he sort of forced it from

341
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 6: the offensive end at the beginning a couple of the shots.

342
00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 6: I think Kawhi Leonard knew that he needed his boy

343
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 6: to step up at some point because he can't be

344
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 6: He can't be average Paul George. He can't be uh,

345
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 6: you know, mediocre Paul. I don't want to call him

346
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 6: pandemic Paul looking for another P word that kind.

347
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 5: Of which Pond part Paul sure. Uh, yeah, he can't.

348
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 6: He can't be average going into the Lakers series. They

349
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 6: need to get him going if they're going to beat

350
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 6: the Lakers. So he forced a couple of shots at

351
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 6: the beginning, and uh he got into that Paul George pace, Uh,

352
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 6: pace Paul. Maybe it's paintball where he got into that

353
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 6: rhythm that that that slowed down, Uh, smooth rhythm and uh,

354
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 6: he was unstoppable. He was really his best offensive game

355
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 6: of the playoffs so far. Took till Game three of

356
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 6: the second round, but it probably won't matter if they

357
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 6: get to the conference finals.

358
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,720
Speaker 5: They just need him to be somewhat like this.

359
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 4: Uh.

360
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 5: He was their their go to guy on the offensive end.

361
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 6: Kawhi Leonard uh was you know, he did enough, but

362
00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 6: he's kind of average for definitely for Kawhi expectations coming

363
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 6: off a bad game. So it was Paul George for

364
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:07,600
Speaker 6: sure that I kept him there. Finally we had a

365
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 6: playoff Paul. I think we can call him playoff Paul

366
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 6: after this one.

367
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, he was. He was definitely playoff Paul. We

368
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 3: can't call him playoff pe We have to give him.

369
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 3: He was smooth though. That was the PG smooth factor there.

370
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 3: I want to ask you this, though, Trey, after what

371
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 3: is it nine games now three in this series versus

372
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 3: the Nuggets, has your opinion changed about the Clippers' chances

373
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 3: to win a title here? And I asked that because

374
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 3: of course, they just go through the motions still for

375
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 3: good chunks of games, and then we see the talent,

376
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 3: you know, come out and the defense locked down for

377
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:37,960
Speaker 3: a couple of minutes, and then they win this one. Like,

378
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 3: what's your opinion on their actual chances to beat somebody

379
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 3: in the Western commence Finals, to win this series, to

380
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 3: beat somebody in the Western consoles, and then ultimately to

381
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 3: win a title.

382
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 4: I actually feel the same about the Clippers that I

383
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 4: have for the whole season, because you look at the talent,

384
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 4: you look at the depth of versatility, and the fact

385
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:56,400
Speaker 4: that they have Kawhi one of the best playoff players.

386
00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 3: In the game.

387
00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:00,720
Speaker 4: They're probably still the favorite to win the championship if

388
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 4: you ask me. But also for the entirety of the season,

389
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 4: like you're saying, they've been so up and down, they've

390
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 4: been so noncommittal to giving a full effort every single game,

391
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:10,680
Speaker 4: and last night they could have lost Game three, but

392
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 4: they really showed up in the fourth quarter. They flipped

393
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:15,200
Speaker 4: the switch and started playing defense, and Kawhi started getting

394
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:17,439
Speaker 4: into the lane and making these little drop off passes

395
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:20,959
Speaker 4: for buckets, and you see in those moments that they

396
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 4: can reach such a high ceiling and the defense can

397
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:25,879
Speaker 4: be so good, and then they can obviously score buckets

398
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 4: pretty easily on the offensive end. But the connectivity isn't there,

399
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:32,879
Speaker 4: and the cohesion isn't always there. They've had, you know,

400
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:36,160
Speaker 4: load management and injuries and guys getting to the bubble

401
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:38,200
Speaker 4: laid and guys leaving the bubble. They've had a lot

402
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:40,680
Speaker 4: of players in and out of the lineup for the

403
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 4: whole year, and you can tell it shows. But maybe

404
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:46,240
Speaker 4: things are okay for them, because I thought the greatest

405
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 4: advantage the Lakers had during the regular season was that

406
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:51,440
Speaker 4: all their guys were playing, and they did seem to

407
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 4: have a lot of cohesion. I don't necessarily think that's

408
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:55,159
Speaker 4: true with the Lakers right now. It seemed like they

409
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 4: had to start over a little bit once everything got

410
00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:00,840
Speaker 4: going down in the bubble in Orlando. But I don't know.

411
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:03,680
Speaker 4: The Clippers, like you can't deny that they're one of

412
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:05,960
Speaker 4: the favorites to win the title, but you know there

413
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:08,159
Speaker 4: are gonna be games when it doesn't look when they

414
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:10,480
Speaker 4: don't look their best, And I wonder how much of

415
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:13,480
Speaker 4: that is having Kawhi Leonard as your actual leader on

416
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 4: the team, having a guy who doesn't say anything, how

417
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:16,439
Speaker 4: does he fire guys up?

418
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 3: What do you think? Lee? Yeah?

419
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 1: I wonder how the Clippers will go if they trail

420
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:22,680
Speaker 1: in a series, if they'll be able to fight back,

421
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 1: because I think they are a little bit fragile like that.

422
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 1: You know, they haven't trailed against the Mavericks. They were

423
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 1: tired too too. They were tied here with Denver and

424
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:34,480
Speaker 1: they nearly went down here. I think that'll be the test.

425
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 1: Can they come back if they fall behind. I mean,

426
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 1: they certainly have the players to be able to do it.

427
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:41,359
Speaker 1: But you know, earlier in the season, remember Montres Harroll

428
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:43,160
Speaker 1: was talking about things in the locker room and things

429
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:45,040
Speaker 1: like that, and that's where I wonder if the Clippers

430
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 1: maybe turn on each other a little bit if things

431
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:49,919
Speaker 1: don't go their way and they fall behind. But they

432
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 1: haven't had to face that yet in the bubble in

433
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:54,200
Speaker 1: the playoffs. But you know, if they make it out

434
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:55,720
Speaker 1: of this series and then they get to the Lakers.

435
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 1: That could be a series where they are are behind

436
00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:00,679
Speaker 1: early and then we'll see, we'll see if they can

437
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:03,200
Speaker 1: fight through that. Because there are certainly some times, like

438
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:05,960
Speaker 1: you say there, where you're like, this team's really the

439
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:09,159
Speaker 1: favorite to win, Like I just don't see it. But

440
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 1: then other times, like the way they close out the

441
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:13,400
Speaker 1: game last night, I think, yeah, man, they're just so long,

442
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:17,359
Speaker 1: they're athletic defensively, and they've got three got three guys

443
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:19,919
Speaker 1: in Paul, George Kawhi Leonard and Lou Willims who can

444
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 1: get a bucket any time they want, which is a

445
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 1: luxury to have. So they've got it at both ends.

446
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,199
Speaker 1: They've got all the ingredients. But you just wonder if

447
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,639
Speaker 1: they face more adversity, will they still be able to

448
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:31,160
Speaker 1: stick together?

449
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:34,120
Speaker 3: Yeah? I mean the truth is with this team, Lou

450
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 3: hit a big bucket last night, and we know he

451
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 3: is you know, he can catch fire, don't get me wrong,

452
00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 3: but he's been not great. Mantres, Harrald has not been great.

453
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:43,440
Speaker 1: You know.

454
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 3: Jamichael Green is like really deserving more of those minutes

455
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 3: from Harold. In my opinion, obviously, Zoobots has played well

456
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 3: against the Yorkitch as much as you can. The depth

457
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 3: that we talked about a lot with this team has

458
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 3: not been all there. It hasn't been that impressive. And

459
00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:57,879
Speaker 3: maybe a big part of that is that a lot

460
00:19:57,920 --> 00:19:59,680
Speaker 3: of these guys were gone and they came back and

461
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:02,080
Speaker 3: trying to find a rhythm of some sort. Maybe there's

462
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 3: injuries that we don't know. I don't know, but that's

463
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 3: that's the part where I'm like, oh, yeah, this team will,

464
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 3: like we talked all the time, nine to ten deep. Man,

465
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:11,440
Speaker 3: they've got two squads out there. I just don't see that.

466
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 3: I mean, it's Kawhi amazing, Paul George from Hit and Miss,

467
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 3: and then you're like hoping, you know, Morris is going

468
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 3: to contribute, and then yes, don't get me wrong, but like,

469
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:21,960
Speaker 3: I haven't been impressed with that task. You know, the

470
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 3: depth that we always talked about with this Clipper.

471
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,879
Speaker 6: Squad, but that does that matter against a Lakers squad

472
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:29,960
Speaker 6: that is also lacking some serious depth. I think the

473
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:32,920
Speaker 6: Clippers have enough depth, and yeah, the question of whether

474
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 6: or not they have the chemistry or the camaraderie, we're

475
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:38,479
Speaker 6: not going to find out until they play the Lakers,

476
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:42,920
Speaker 6: because they're not going to have enough adversity after beating

477
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 6: after going up to one, we'll see what their locker

478
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:48,359
Speaker 6: room is like. But yeah, I'm with you in terms

479
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:53,359
Speaker 6: of an emotional leader, but emotional leader being emotionless with

480
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:55,520
Speaker 6: the Kawhi Leonard and not really being able to be

481
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:58,480
Speaker 6: a raw raw guy. The Rappers got it done with

482
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:00,400
Speaker 6: a Kyle Lowry is a second and guy.

483
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:00,879
Speaker 4: Uh.

484
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:03,200
Speaker 6: And the Clippers I think can get it done with

485
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:07,200
Speaker 6: Patrick Beverly, Uh, you know, and their coach Doc Rivers.

486
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:10,359
Speaker 6: They've got enough for raw raw I think and uh.

487
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 6: And that's why Patrick Beverly is back in the starting

488
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 6: lineup to be annoying and to help out Paul George

489
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:20,159
Speaker 6: and Kawhi Leonard. And we asked about Paul George and

490
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:24,560
Speaker 6: having a sort of a mediocre nickname instead of you know,

491
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:28,639
Speaker 6: the playoff P. That's obviously, that's great, pandemic P is

492
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:31,879
Speaker 6: a little, a little off base, a little rude, and

493
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 6: that will.

494
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 5: Go away at some point.

495
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:37,480
Speaker 6: So we had some suggestions here from the copascive Paul

496
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:41,159
Speaker 6: from Alvin catch out very good, very very good, very solid,

497
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:45,200
Speaker 6: curated by John Pedestrian. P Ooh, that's good, that's really

498
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:48,480
Speaker 6: really really good. We had a Pecaneo pee from somebody

499
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:53,120
Speaker 6: also also there, what about just a leap pe.

500
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 4: Do you think if he makes a reverse.

501
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 1: Dunk, as you know I have noticed, of course he

502
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:06,480
Speaker 1: shaved you know, the primarily the bushy bead. So yeah,

503
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:09,640
Speaker 1: maybe that's it. Maybe he's just a aero dynamically little

504
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:12,200
Speaker 1: more able to float through the quart a little bit better.

505
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 3: Right, we talked about how smooth he was there exactly. Yeah, Look,

506
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 3: come on, he was a lot closer to playoff Pete

507
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 3: last night. I mean, fish at thirty two and shutting

508
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:24,120
Speaker 3: down everybody's guarding. I mean, that's that's the performances we've

509
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:27,159
Speaker 3: seen before in the playoffs. Just Kenny string them now

510
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 3: together here is going to be instrumental in them trying

511
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:31,400
Speaker 3: to win a championship. But we'll see.

512
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:34,479
Speaker 5: I also like from JC passable Paul, that's a good one.

513
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:38,359
Speaker 3: Good, those are all great suggestions. Good to know people

514
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 3: are in the YouTube chats too. I guess people found it,

515
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 3: so people did have that notification on. Thank you so much.

516
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 3: All right, anything else to add from the Clippers going

517
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 3: up to one in this series? Uh, you know, the

518
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 3: Nuggets again, we're we're we're not discrediting them. They've got

519
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 3: some fighting them, excited to see what happens in a game.

520
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 3: For Jamal Murray does need to have sort of a

521
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:58,480
Speaker 3: breakout game here. He's got He's just got to catch fire,

522
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:01,960
Speaker 3: I think. But this is a damn good Clippers team,

523
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:03,920
Speaker 3: So no shame in being down two to one, no

524
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 3: doubt about that. All right, Well, let's get to the

525
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:11,120
Speaker 3: beat down. The Beantown Boys are pumped. Celtics dominate pivotal

526
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:14,000
Speaker 3: Game five. They take the three to two series lead

527
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 3: over the Raptors. It was really over after twelve minutes.

528
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 3: It was at least over after twenty four. Trey get

529
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:22,680
Speaker 3: Us started from the Beantown Boys massacre.

530
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:25,639
Speaker 4: Here, I don't honestly know where to start skeets, so

531
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:28,479
Speaker 4: I'll try this one out on you. Somebody called Newman

532
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:32,880
Speaker 4: because the Raptors laid an egg. No, not a good one,

533
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 4: I don't think. I don't think a crushed that's the

534
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:38,080
Speaker 4: Jurassic Park reference. But the Raptors were brutal yesterday. They

535
00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:40,679
Speaker 4: were just terrible. Right they came out, they scored how

536
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 4: many in the first quarter, eleven points? They had thirty

537
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 4: five at halftime. Meanwhile, the Celtics had thirty seven in

538
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 4: the second quarter alone. You know, the Raptors could have

539
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:51,320
Speaker 4: been down three to zero. They had the incredible shot

540
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:53,320
Speaker 4: from Og to save it, to make this a series.

541
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 4: They came out, they really took it to the Celtics

542
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:57,760
Speaker 4: in Game four, it just looked like a letdown game.

543
00:23:57,840 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 4: I don't know what was happening out there. Skeets was

544
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 4: blaming me for not standing as I am, as if

545
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:06,680
Speaker 4: my powers are the reason that the Raptors actually showed

546
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 4: up in games three and four. I mean, you're probably right,

547
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 4: because they didn't show up at all in Game five,

548
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:12,359
Speaker 4: just like you didn't get to see my back at all.

549
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:15,240
Speaker 4: But I don't know this goes to now a game six,

550
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 4: and you know the Raptors are going to be better

551
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 4: in game six. There's just not a lot to say.

552
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:20,920
Speaker 4: It feels like every single player on the Celtics played

553
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:21,680
Speaker 4: better yesterday.

554
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:24,399
Speaker 3: I'm either blaming this on you not getting in on

555
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:27,320
Speaker 3: the hashtag stand with Skeets because you wanted your playoff

556
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:29,399
Speaker 3: prediction to come true, or you were leaning towards that,

557
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:32,600
Speaker 3: or Lisa Ponytail that may have been the problem too.

558
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 3: I'm not sure which one, but yeah, you're right. Look,

559
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:37,280
Speaker 3: I've watched a ton of Raptors games this season. Over

560
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:39,560
Speaker 3: the last couple of years, you could just oddly tell

561
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:43,120
Speaker 3: tasks right from the tip that the Raptors, like, their

562
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:46,399
Speaker 3: sense of urgency or any energy was just off. I

563
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:49,560
Speaker 3: mean it was off. And then really early on you're

564
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:52,840
Speaker 3: left wondering as a Raps fan, You're like, ugh, can

565
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:55,680
Speaker 3: they just hang on here? Can they keep this deficit,

566
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:59,080
Speaker 3: you know, manageable because they can't hit a shot. Celtics

567
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 3: are getting anything they want. I mean it started with

568
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:03,120
Speaker 3: a wide open jail in Brown three, so here he goes,

569
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:06,080
Speaker 3: and it was impressive defense. I don't want to discredit

570
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:08,400
Speaker 3: the Celtics defense. I thought it was amazing. It wasn't

571
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:11,040
Speaker 3: just the Raptors, you know, missing some shots that they

572
00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 3: can generally make. They were everywhere the Celtics TeVeS. There

573
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 3: was a damn clinic in my opinion, pick and roll,

574
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 3: perfect rim protection, perfect scrambling everywhere on closeouts, rotations, tight,

575
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:24,160
Speaker 3: always getting back on the fast break. So give them

576
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:26,680
Speaker 3: nothing there, cutting off passing lanes. I mean, Kyle Lowry

577
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:28,240
Speaker 3: got into the paint. The one time he's going to

578
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:30,960
Speaker 3: kick it to the corner. Nope, there's Tatum hands up,

579
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:33,640
Speaker 3: just literally snatches the ball out of the air. They

580
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:35,920
Speaker 3: were amazing, But you know, you pair that with the

581
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 3: unfortunate mix of the raptors inability to finish inside, especially

582
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:42,919
Speaker 3: Marc Gasol, and you pair that with that rim protection.

583
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:45,360
Speaker 3: I mean, it was it was over in a hurry, Yeah,

584
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:48,640
Speaker 3: it was. It was a disappointing pivotal game five from

585
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:50,760
Speaker 3: that that was an egg for sure.

586
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:54,840
Speaker 6: Yeah, Well, you're asking Kyle Lowry to be that energy,

587
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 6: go to guy three games in a row, something that

588
00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:00,200
Speaker 6: he hasn't really had to do throughout his career, or

589
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:03,399
Speaker 6: he you ask him to be the motor, the engine,

590
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 6: that's the score, the defender when you look in years past.

591
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:10,080
Speaker 6: He can definitely provide one of those. If he gives

592
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:13,119
Speaker 6: back to backs where he's going into the lane and

593
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:16,200
Speaker 6: doing that back to back games in a playoffs, that's phenomenal.

594
00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:16,960
Speaker 5: And he just did that.

595
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:20,679
Speaker 6: They needed other people, and I think the pressure has

596
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 6: to be put on Pascal Siakam, and I think Nick

597
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:25,840
Speaker 6: Nurse mentioned Pascal Siakam for the first time in a

598
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:28,680
Speaker 6: negative way after this game, because.

599
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:31,320
Speaker 5: This is the type of game.

600
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:32,520
Speaker 6: Where you just want to be able to give the

601
00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:35,680
Speaker 6: ball to somebody, to be able to score and the

602
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:38,679
Speaker 6: Reps don't have that on the roster outside of Pascal Siakam.

603
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:40,359
Speaker 6: But he hasn't been able to bring that to the bubble.

604
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:42,800
Speaker 6: He hasn't been being able to bring that the handle

605
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:45,480
Speaker 6: pull up in your face anywhere. He's been playing it

606
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:48,639
Speaker 6: back to the basket game and it hasn't been working.

607
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:51,480
Speaker 6: And Nick Nurse said, I'm just not sure why he

608
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 6: hasn't had his rhythm here in Orlando, and everybody else

609
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:58,720
Speaker 6: is also wondering why Pascal has not played to his capabilities.

610
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 6: But when you have a guy who sure seemed like

611
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:05,600
Speaker 6: he could just you know, get down low, get them

612
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:08,080
Speaker 6: bend over and just go you know, side to side

613
00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:10,399
Speaker 6: with that dribble and just be able to pull up

614
00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:12,359
Speaker 6: at any point, he hasn't been able to do that

615
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:14,840
Speaker 6: when you just you can't ask Kyle Lowry to do

616
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:17,960
Speaker 6: it every stinking game. The guy just you know, had

617
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:19,960
Speaker 6: twenty points in the paint for the first time of

618
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 6: his thousand game career. There's one team that's you know,

619
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:28,119
Speaker 6: played superior in this series, and that's the Celtics. And

620
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:30,520
Speaker 6: you can see how they sort of resemble the Miami Heat,

621
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:33,960
Speaker 6: how they're scrambling like crazy on defense, how Kemba Walker

622
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:37,080
Speaker 6: is kind of resembling Gordon Drags in the other series.

623
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:40,399
Speaker 6: They're flying back to the rim. Kemba Walker recovering for

624
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:44,239
Speaker 6: a monster Block's it's just unheard of. And I think

625
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:46,520
Speaker 6: Gorren dragg is the same in Miami, and that's why

626
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 6: they're on the trajectory to meet in the conference finals,

627
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:54,040
Speaker 6: because they're scrambling and they've got a little bit more

628
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 6: firepower in their offense. And if you want to get

629
00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:58,159
Speaker 6: all conspiracy theory, I said it after last game, but

630
00:27:58,200 --> 00:27:59,879
Speaker 6: when there was that wet sped on the spot on

631
00:27:59,880 --> 00:28:02,560
Speaker 6: the floor and they didn't clean it up, that was

632
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:05,200
Speaker 6: to get Jalen Brown hot is to have a raptor

633
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:09,080
Speaker 6: ogn and Obi slip and called me qann But I'm

634
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 6: just I'm kidding. I'm kidding about Jayleen Brown.

635
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:12,719
Speaker 5: JILLN. Brown got it going.

636
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:16,159
Speaker 6: They just they they resemble to me the Okay Sees

637
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:19,359
Speaker 6: Young days where they've got length length length, length, length

638
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:22,200
Speaker 6: and so much athleticism and they kind of just out

639
00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:25,240
Speaker 6: athletic the San Antonio Spurs and that going into that

640
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 6: twenty twelve finals, it or the get twenty twenty twelve,

641
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:33,520
Speaker 6: that's right, and they kind of they feel that same

642
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:36,840
Speaker 6: sort of way where they're they're all over the place, man,

643
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 6: and they have enough scoring. So uh yeah, Raps got beat.

644
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:41,920
Speaker 6: They needed a Siakam game.

645
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:45,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, well they went to Siakam early on the block

646
00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:46,960
Speaker 3: on jail and Brown, who, by the way, he hasn't

647
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:50,200
Speaker 3: been able to score on all series long. He waited, waited, waited,

648
00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:51,840
Speaker 3: tried to back up, and then he just dribbled the

649
00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 3: ball off his knee because he can't dribble. So you

650
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 3: can stop going to pass Gal Siakam. It's not gonna

651
00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 3: work that way, Iso hmming on Jail and Brown, It's

652
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:02,320
Speaker 3: absolutely not gonna work. It hasn't worked all series. I

653
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:04,000
Speaker 3: don't know why it's going to suddenly work, you know,

654
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:06,280
Speaker 3: in a must win game six. But you're not wrong

655
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 3: about Lowry. I mean, he'd been amazing for those first

656
00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 3: in games three and four of setting the tone and

657
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:13,080
Speaker 3: he just wasn't doing it there though. Credit to Stevens

658
00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:16,280
Speaker 3: for putting Marcus Smart on him as a primary defender

659
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:18,120
Speaker 3: right away, and that's going to make life a lot

660
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:20,800
Speaker 3: more difficult. And you know, it was really like Fred

661
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 3: van Vliet didn't have going Nobody had to go one

662
00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:24,920
Speaker 3: I mean, it was again incredible defense from the Celtics.

663
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:28,640
Speaker 4: Though. That's the tough thing is that if Siakam couldn't

664
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:30,920
Speaker 4: score on Marcus Smart, right, we already knew that going

665
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:32,680
Speaker 4: into this game. That had been the case for the

666
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:35,120
Speaker 4: first couple of games of the season or the series.

667
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:37,440
Speaker 4: So Stevens is able to say, fine, Marcus Smart, you

668
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:40,240
Speaker 4: can go guard Kyle Lowry. He's been dominating in games

669
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:42,440
Speaker 4: three and four. He's been set in the tone. And

670
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:45,520
Speaker 4: that means that Jalen Brown is now on Siakam and

671
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 4: this is the number two choice, and Siakam still can't

672
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:50,280
Speaker 4: score on Jalen Brown. So it just gives the Celtics

673
00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:54,520
Speaker 4: even more options Between watching Clippers Nuggets and Raptors Celtics yesterday,

674
00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:57,520
Speaker 4: I just came away thinking, man, Kyle Lowry and Kawhi Leonard,

675
00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:00,200
Speaker 4: what a great pair of these twour Kyle is to

676
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:02,000
Speaker 4: go out there and set the tone for his team.

677
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:04,480
Speaker 4: He's gonna make sure everybody's playing hard and he's gonna

678
00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:07,120
Speaker 4: be the vocal leader while also still contributing on the

679
00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:09,360
Speaker 4: basketball court. Kawhi is able to just go and get

680
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:11,960
Speaker 4: buckets anytime they needed. These guys were a perfect mix.

681
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:13,800
Speaker 4: I was watching the Clippers thinking, man, they need a

682
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:16,680
Speaker 4: Kyle Lowry, after watching the Raptors saying, man, they need

683
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:19,480
Speaker 4: a Kawhi Leonard. But uh, I don't know. Game six

684
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:21,560
Speaker 4: will be different. You just got to hope that Siakam

685
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:23,600
Speaker 4: is able to get out in transition a little bit

686
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:25,800
Speaker 4: more because that's gonna be where he scores. And Van

687
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:28,160
Speaker 4: Vliet and Lowry they're just gonna have to hit some

688
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:30,360
Speaker 4: crazy shots. That's what it feels like. They're gonna be

689
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:33,320
Speaker 4: taking tough shots. And I don't know. The half court

690
00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 4: offense hasn't been great, so do what you can to

691
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 4: get out in the open court. Maybe we see some

692
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:39,080
Speaker 4: Terrence Davis. A lot of Raptors fans have been calling

693
00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:41,600
Speaker 4: for Terrence Davis, somebody who's a little bit bigger, stronger

694
00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:43,440
Speaker 4: and athletics, somebody who can just go out there and

695
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:44,360
Speaker 4: wreak a little havoc.

696
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:46,440
Speaker 3: Perhaps, Yeah, what do you think, Lee, would you take

697
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 3: away from this beat down here? From the bean down boys.

698
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 1: Well, Jaylen Brown had a bad game full because he

699
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:53,680
Speaker 1: was in faut trouble and Pascal was able to score

700
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:56,320
Speaker 1: on him because Jaylen wasn't able to be aggressive defensively.

701
00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:58,360
Speaker 1: And same to me that Jaylen was like, sorry, guys,

702
00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:00,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make up for it at this one. He did,

703
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:02,720
Speaker 1: and he had that huge dunk early which really just

704
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:05,560
Speaker 1: sort of sent a thunder through the Old Arena. Everyone

705
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:08,040
Speaker 1: watching was like, this guy feels like he owes his

706
00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:09,920
Speaker 1: team something even though he's been a great player, and

707
00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:12,520
Speaker 1: he just played that way. And then yeah, defensively, he

708
00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 1: loves the matchup with Pascal because Pascal spends so much

709
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 1: time sort of spinning and twisting and trying to establish

710
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:19,960
Speaker 1: a position. Jalen just waits for him to rise and

711
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:21,720
Speaker 1: then he kind of blocks a shot or makes it

712
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:23,800
Speaker 1: hard for him to score. And that's also what it

713
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:25,920
Speaker 1: is for the Raptors when you see Fred and Kyle Lowry,

714
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:28,760
Speaker 1: like every three pointer they seemed to take yesterday was

715
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:31,280
Speaker 1: like a deep one because the defense was just right

716
00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 1: there waiting for them, and when we're shooting from so

717
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:36,600
Speaker 1: far back, it's just hard to get going. So this

718
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:39,720
Speaker 1: was a very very impressive performance from Boston, very impressive

719
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:42,640
Speaker 1: performance from Jalen Brown and Camber, and Marcus Smart was

720
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:45,000
Speaker 1: great as well. Marcus had one of those another one

721
00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:47,120
Speaker 1: of those crazy plays where Fred was going for a

722
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:50,960
Speaker 1: transition layup and Marcus stripped him and saved the ball.

723
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:53,680
Speaker 1: And I think I think Jalen Brown hit a basket

724
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:55,760
Speaker 1: on the other end, so like he turned a certain

725
00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:58,800
Speaker 1: basket from the Raptors almost into a transition basket for

726
00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:01,120
Speaker 1: the Celtics. And that's what they're capable of doing. And

727
00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:05,720
Speaker 1: Marcusol again, he's it's been a terrible series. He just

728
00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:08,960
Speaker 1: looks so slow and so old out there. And the

729
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:12,080
Speaker 1: Celtics this pace, they're able to just bounce back with

730
00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:13,480
Speaker 1: those young guys. I know the Raptors has got some

731
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 1: young guys too, but it just feels like those Celtics

732
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:19,800
Speaker 1: younger guys seem to be just fresher. And when they

733
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:22,160
Speaker 1: got that lead in the NBA, we always talk about

734
00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:24,040
Speaker 1: it like a fifteen twenty point lead in the first quarty,

735
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:26,000
Speaker 1: like it's fine, it's fine, we'll get this one back.

736
00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:29,040
Speaker 1: Last night, it was just like, no, they just did

737
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:31,760
Speaker 1: the Raptors. I don't know what the what they got

738
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:33,960
Speaker 1: it back to the at the you know, when the

739
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:36,480
Speaker 1: game was still alive, but it felt like it was

740
00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:38,920
Speaker 1: no lower than sort of twenty twenty five points there,

741
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:40,920
Speaker 1: and I was like, oh man, they just can't they

742
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:43,800
Speaker 1: can't get us, they can't get a string of plays

743
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:46,480
Speaker 1: together where they're actually like, okay, finally we've sort of

744
00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:49,400
Speaker 1: shaken loose here and Boston were great. They deserve to win,

745
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:52,800
Speaker 1: and it sucked. It sucked because they're not the Boston one.

746
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:54,400
Speaker 1: I don't want the Bean town boys coming after me.

747
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:56,640
Speaker 1: They deserve the win. But it sucked because this game

748
00:32:56,760 --> 00:33:00,240
Speaker 1: never got really interesting. It didn't you know, that first quarter.

749
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:02,840
Speaker 1: It was over. Second quarters like all right, and then

750
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:05,440
Speaker 1: you know, people look like, all right, everyone, just sit

751
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:07,720
Speaker 1: your stop is now, like get ready for game seek.

752
00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:11,520
Speaker 3: Hey, Matt Thomas, get in here, fire away, And they did. Yeah, no,

753
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:14,440
Speaker 3: Nurse said after the game. They looked faster and stronger

754
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:17,400
Speaker 3: and hungrier than we did. And there's no doubt. And

755
00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:20,160
Speaker 3: even then, like, okay, you're right, Lee, like you know,

756
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:22,080
Speaker 3: like I said, you get down big in a game,

757
00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:24,080
Speaker 3: you're like, there's a lot of basketball still be played.

758
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:26,560
Speaker 3: You can chip chip chip, chip away at it. But

759
00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:29,040
Speaker 3: then even in the second quarter, when the Raptors they

760
00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:31,840
Speaker 3: had like a really good defensive possession, I remember scrambling

761
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:35,200
Speaker 3: everywhere picking up guys. Make nothing easy here, and then

762
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:39,040
Speaker 3: Van Vliet just bails out Tatum with a dumb reach

763
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:42,840
Speaker 3: and foul after twenty three great seconds of defense, like

764
00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:45,040
Speaker 3: on a three point shot. It was like why, I mean,

765
00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:47,440
Speaker 3: it was gonna be a tough, tough three from Tatum.

766
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:48,920
Speaker 3: He wasn't going to be balanced and stuff like that.

767
00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:50,840
Speaker 3: So who knows if he hits it, but whatever, and

768
00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:53,200
Speaker 3: you're like, oh god, it is one of these games. Now,

769
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:57,800
Speaker 3: you said, Marcusol feathery, Marcusol sucks. Let's just say it. Okay,

770
00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:03,120
Speaker 3: he stinks because he had four somewhat easy looks fully

771
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:06,080
Speaker 3: in this game and he's missing them. So yeah, the

772
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:08,279
Speaker 3: jump shod jumper, he doesn't jump, but you know what

773
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:12,040
Speaker 3: I mean, the shot from outside is brick brick city inside.

774
00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:13,840
Speaker 3: Though he got a couple nice looks, you know, some

775
00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:16,320
Speaker 3: pick and roll action and tasks. I mean, he just

776
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:19,640
Speaker 3: it's like he can't even hit a layup. I mean

777
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:22,120
Speaker 3: it's and that's like embarrassing one because you're a seven

778
00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:23,719
Speaker 3: footer and you got to be hitting those. But then

779
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:26,120
Speaker 3: it puts the Raps out a disadvantage because he misses

780
00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:27,920
Speaker 3: this layup and then the Celtics are gone and you

781
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:30,480
Speaker 3: got numbers because Marcusol is not getting back when he's

782
00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:33,080
Speaker 3: under the rim. So I mean, I wonder if Nurse

783
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:36,320
Speaker 3: starts Serge Ibaka, maybe even goes super small, which we

784
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:38,360
Speaker 3: saw in this game. You know, with Siakam and Ogiaz

785
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:41,480
Speaker 3: you're BIG's Like. I know, Mark contributes another ways, but

786
00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:46,160
Speaker 3: he really has been completely outclassed by Daniel Tice. You know,

787
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:49,719
Speaker 3: he has outplayed his ass. So I wonder if Nurse

788
00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:51,879
Speaker 3: switches it up from in a must win game six.

789
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:52,960
Speaker 3: I don't what do you think about that.

790
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:56,040
Speaker 6: I'm not gonna put this one on Marcusol. The team

791
00:34:56,120 --> 00:35:01,279
Speaker 6: just stuck and so he's played ying limited minutes as

792
00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:02,000
Speaker 6: it is, and.

793
00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:04,799
Speaker 5: He was bad.

794
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:08,360
Speaker 6: The rest of the team also extremely bad. It's up

795
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:11,320
Speaker 6: to the guys who shoot the most and score the

796
00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:12,799
Speaker 6: most and have the ball in their hands the most

797
00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:17,160
Speaker 6: to be leading the way. And yeah, Mark, Marcus, this

798
00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:19,760
Speaker 6: is a very tough series from Marcus Sol. He definitely

799
00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:24,640
Speaker 6: contributes in other ways, but yeah, tys is, he's faster,

800
00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:28,000
Speaker 6: he covers more ground out there, and you know, Marcus

801
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:31,680
Speaker 6: Sol sets some sweet, sweet big picks for Fred van Vliet,

802
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:34,800
Speaker 6: but it's it's tough. It's a very tough series for

803
00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:39,200
Speaker 6: Marcus Sol. All these reports coming into the bubble about

804
00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:41,759
Speaker 6: Marcas Sol being lighter and Nikolai Jokic being lighter and

805
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:45,359
Speaker 6: James Harden being lighter. It's all bogus and I don't

806
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:48,239
Speaker 6: why any of it just because there's one photo of

807
00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:51,440
Speaker 6: Nikola Jokic in a jacket that's making them look skinny.

808
00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:56,160
Speaker 6: Come on, Marcus Sol's hair is long, so he looks thinner. Yeah,

809
00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:57,640
Speaker 6: put it up against that photo. And he was in

810
00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:01,520
Speaker 6: Memphis High school. Of course he's going to looker. He's

811
00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:04,399
Speaker 6: just old and and I love Mark and I would

812
00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:07,560
Speaker 6: keep him on the floor for yeah, the limited minutes

813
00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:11,360
Speaker 6: that he's playing, because if he goes to the bench, Uh,

814
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:14,400
Speaker 6: Surge comes into the starting lineup, doesn't get the shots.

815
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:17,560
Speaker 6: Surges at least getting the ball and scoring on the

816
00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:19,719
Speaker 6: on the in the second unit, and you can count

817
00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:22,560
Speaker 6: on him, or you can count on Mark. No, you

818
00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:24,719
Speaker 6: can't count on Mark right now. So I think it

819
00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:28,080
Speaker 6: it changes that the dynamic of that second unit and

820
00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:31,280
Speaker 6: they won't be able to score and Surge won't get shots.

821
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:33,920
Speaker 3: But maybe Marcusol shouldn't play at all in this series.

822
00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:35,880
Speaker 3: You know, there are series where you just it's a

823
00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:38,440
Speaker 3: bad matchup and you don't have a going he's not

824
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:41,120
Speaker 3: contributing a whole lot. I think Nurse will do something

825
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:42,640
Speaker 3: with him. I don't know what that is. Again, if

826
00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:44,920
Speaker 3: he goes just small, like you said, to keep Serge

827
00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:46,799
Speaker 3: sort of as a as the backup center. So maybe

828
00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:47,839
Speaker 3: you try Siakam there.

829
00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:50,920
Speaker 4: Well they tried, Yes, they did, right, and he kind

830
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:53,880
Speaker 4: of got roasted like Brad Wanamaker was scoring on him

831
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:55,800
Speaker 4: at the rim. But maybe that's just the case of

832
00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:58,560
Speaker 4: you know, sometimes you have a bad game and you're

833
00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:01,799
Speaker 4: shooting poorly offensively, and then suddenly it goes defensively as well.

834
00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:05,200
Speaker 4: But early signs of Siakam at the five were not encouraged.

835
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:07,840
Speaker 3: No, they weren't right. He was getting blown by defensively.

836
00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:10,280
Speaker 3: I'll tell you what too. I gotta say this, nothing

837
00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:15,520
Speaker 3: infuriates me more than watching Brad Wannamaker hit shots. I

838
00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:18,040
Speaker 3: can live with him in Kemba Cooking Us. I can

839
00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:20,720
Speaker 3: live with Jason Tatum twelve time All Star Jael and Brown.

840
00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:25,200
Speaker 3: I love. It drives me insane when Brad Wannamaker, who's

841
00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:28,560
Speaker 3: been playing extremely well in this entire series, you know,

842
00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:32,800
Speaker 3: it says enough wanna maker on his jersey, enough wanna maker. Okay,

843
00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:36,920
Speaker 3: anybody task anybody in Game six or maybe a potentially

844
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:39,160
Speaker 3: Game seven score, and I can live with I can

845
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:41,880
Speaker 3: take that loss from the Bean town Boys. Not Brad Wannamaker,

846
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:43,480
Speaker 3: Not Brad, I'm Tom Brad.

847
00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:47,000
Speaker 1: But he's getting those looks pretty uncontested the stories. And

848
00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:49,480
Speaker 1: that's the thing. It's like he said, because he's a

849
00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:51,680
Speaker 1: young or an old young guy, if you know what

850
00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:53,880
Speaker 1: I mean. He hasn't been around the league along, so's

851
00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:55,920
Speaker 1: he's a veteran and he's like, all right, I'll take

852
00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:57,960
Speaker 1: they shots, so you're gonna leave me open and knocks

853
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:00,440
Speaker 1: him down. So yeah, the Reptors just don't like powers,

854
00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:01,680
Speaker 1: not giving them really.

855
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:02,360
Speaker 5: Enough, you know.

856
00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:04,320
Speaker 1: And again it's tough to Norm. It is tough to

857
00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:06,879
Speaker 1: come out there when your team's down. He hasn't gotten

858
00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:09,200
Speaker 1: into a flow and it's like, we need you quickly

859
00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:11,040
Speaker 1: to hit some shots for us. It's tough for him

860
00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:13,839
Speaker 1: to do that. So but yeah, the Raptors, Yeah, they're

861
00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:17,160
Speaker 1: just missing. They've got. Kyle's been great. Pascal has had

862
00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:19,200
Speaker 1: his moments for sure. O G didn't do all that

863
00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:22,279
Speaker 1: much yesterday. Where's it coming from? Where's that sort of

864
00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:24,279
Speaker 1: extra spark going to come from? For the Raptors to

865
00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:27,200
Speaker 1: provide the Brad winner maker. They just don't.

866
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:33,040
Speaker 3: At this point out of the podcast. Who has been

867
00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:36,000
Speaker 3: more disappointing for the Raptors in this series, be honestly, Siakam,

868
00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:39,359
Speaker 3: Norman Powell or Gasol. If I threw those three eight.

869
00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:44,480
Speaker 1: You Gasol for me. Yeah, he just you know, he's

870
00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:47,560
Speaker 1: he's a veteran. He's never been super athletic or super jumpy.

871
00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:50,200
Speaker 1: But in this series you mentioned that Daniel Tice, who's himself,

872
00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:52,719
Speaker 1: is just he understands his role on this team and

873
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:55,320
Speaker 1: he is more athletic. He gets up, he catches lobs,

874
00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:57,600
Speaker 1: he can hit that mid ranger and defensively he just

875
00:38:57,640 --> 00:39:00,080
Speaker 1: doesn't get cooked. I mean that helps with Mark so

876
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:03,000
Speaker 1: I just cannot hit a thing, but that you know,

877
00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:04,719
Speaker 1: that's what happens as well. Like you've been around for

878
00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:06,759
Speaker 1: a long time and sometimes guys all of a sudden,

879
00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:08,480
Speaker 1: they like, wow, that guy just looks old. Now. It

880
00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:11,080
Speaker 1: just had a bad matchup. I don't know what the

881
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:13,400
Speaker 1: Raptors can do can do to get him going. I

882
00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:17,760
Speaker 1: mean Pascal, he has struggled for sure, but the matchup

883
00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:19,000
Speaker 1: as well has been bad for him. I mean, I

884
00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:20,759
Speaker 1: think so much of the credit just goes to the

885
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:23,600
Speaker 1: Celtics defense. Their defense is great and this is remember

886
00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:26,480
Speaker 1: without Gordon Hayward. So if Heyward, who's back in the bubble,

887
00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:30,880
Speaker 1: joins this team, I mean they're looking pretty good right now, Boston,

888
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:33,760
Speaker 1: and you know, they're deep. They've got so many different

889
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:36,000
Speaker 1: guys who can score and they all play defense, so

890
00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:38,640
Speaker 1: things are pretty well positioned for them at the moment.

891
00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:40,880
Speaker 3: Tess, what do you think about this? You know, it

892
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:43,040
Speaker 3: doesn't matter if you lose by one or twenty, it

893
00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:45,279
Speaker 3: doesn't matter, you know, in the playoffs, it's just one.

894
00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:47,400
Speaker 3: In the next game, there's a little effect on what happens,

895
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:50,360
Speaker 3: you know in the next forty eight minutes. You buy that, like,

896
00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:52,359
Speaker 3: do you already you even think? You know, if you're

897
00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:54,960
Speaker 3: gonna lose, have your ass handed to you, you know,

898
00:39:55,239 --> 00:39:57,200
Speaker 3: like to be embarrassed, so you maybe come out with

899
00:39:57,280 --> 00:39:59,160
Speaker 3: some fight in a must win game six. So what's

900
00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:00,759
Speaker 3: your take on that sort of you know, you see

901
00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:01,600
Speaker 3: that going around a lot.

902
00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:03,719
Speaker 6: Well, I just think the Celtics had lost two games

903
00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:05,680
Speaker 6: in a row, and real good teams tend to not

904
00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:08,360
Speaker 6: lose three games, right, So they came out super spunk

905
00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:11,719
Speaker 6: and hey man, save everybody's legs a little bit. I'm

906
00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:14,960
Speaker 6: one hundred percent positive after taking your photo, Skeets, you

907
00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:17,640
Speaker 6: didn't stand for forty eight minutes, because then I switched

908
00:40:17,719 --> 00:40:18,240
Speaker 6: up rooms.

909
00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:21,000
Speaker 3: Man, I tried everything last night. Yeah, I still you know,

910
00:40:21,239 --> 00:40:23,480
Speaker 3: after the first quarter, sure I still believed. But of

911
00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:26,520
Speaker 3: course at half it was a rap, a rap on

912
00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:27,160
Speaker 3: the Raptors.

913
00:40:27,239 --> 00:40:27,399
Speaker 6: Man.

914
00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:30,480
Speaker 3: You know, I knew Trey Kirby's photo wasn't coming. I saw.

915
00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:32,759
Speaker 3: You know, you start to really separate, you find out

916
00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:35,120
Speaker 3: who are the real Raptors fans, because you know, a

917
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:37,839
Speaker 3: whole lot more stand with skeets in game four. I'll

918
00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:40,120
Speaker 3: tell you that. Then there was in game five because

919
00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:42,520
Speaker 3: people probably checked the score a little late. Oh jeez.

920
00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:45,600
Speaker 4: I felt bad, man, I honestly felt bad. You know.

921
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:48,200
Speaker 4: I like to consider myself a second half stander, a

922
00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:50,799
Speaker 4: clutch guy. I like to stand start at the third quarter,

923
00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:53,960
Speaker 4: get the team going. Couldn't do it yesterday. Obviously it

924
00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:55,759
Speaker 4: was over by the third quarter. And then I felt

925
00:40:55,840 --> 00:40:58,880
Speaker 4: terrible because people started tweeting at me, the Beantown Boys,

926
00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:01,959
Speaker 4: thanking me for the with the hashtag sit with Trey.

927
00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:04,719
Speaker 4: No no no no, no no no no no. It's

928
00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:07,279
Speaker 4: not that. I just wanted to keep it pivotal out there.

929
00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:11,800
Speaker 4: Lanti have powers to either team whoever wins. But Skeets,

930
00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:13,840
Speaker 4: I did get my barn Yanni for you out for

931
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:17,600
Speaker 4: Game six. The big guns I wore during the finals

932
00:41:17,680 --> 00:41:18,760
Speaker 4: last year, and you saw what happened.

933
00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:21,960
Speaker 3: Oh my goodness. Yeah, look Eric Smith, he tweeted this.

934
00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:25,319
Speaker 3: I thought this was perfect. The pestimist says the Raps

935
00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:27,680
Speaker 3: are down three two, The optimists says the Raps are

936
00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:31,000
Speaker 3: only down three two, right, and the realist says, the

937
00:41:31,120 --> 00:41:32,680
Speaker 3: Raps are down three two, but they could have been

938
00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:34,600
Speaker 3: down oh three, and the series could have been over

939
00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:37,600
Speaker 3: by now. They still have a chance. You get game game,

940
00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:39,480
Speaker 3: if you get a game six, then anything, of course

941
00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:42,680
Speaker 3: can happen in the game seven. But the Celtics are God,

942
00:41:42,719 --> 00:41:45,000
Speaker 3: their damn good team, and I'm ent to the point

943
00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:48,360
Speaker 3: with them with Kemba, like their offense should just be

944
00:41:48,480 --> 00:41:51,640
Speaker 3: Kemba isolating, Like against this Raps he can get any

945
00:41:51,960 --> 00:41:55,680
Speaker 3: shot he wants against any defender. I feel like on

946
00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:59,040
Speaker 3: the Raptors, his handle is so tight, he's so light,

947
00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:01,960
Speaker 3: just springy. Right now, he's obviously I think you know

948
00:42:02,080 --> 00:42:04,839
Speaker 3: he's he's got he's invigorated because he's playing in games

949
00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:07,000
Speaker 3: that actually mattered here for the first time in his career.

950
00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:09,440
Speaker 3: He's just I mean, I know he had a bad

951
00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:11,480
Speaker 3: Game four, but like any time he wants to get

952
00:42:11,480 --> 00:42:13,000
Speaker 3: a shot, task on convinced.

953
00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:16,719
Speaker 6: He ken right, Yes he really can. And it was

954
00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:20,160
Speaker 6: weird seeing him in game four the way he only

955
00:42:20,200 --> 00:42:24,000
Speaker 6: got nine shots. Yeah, he's great and he's they're patient

956
00:42:24,120 --> 00:42:26,360
Speaker 6: enough to say, hey, if it doesn't happen at the

957
00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:29,960
Speaker 6: beginning of the shot clock, we trust you, man. Just dribble,

958
00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:33,319
Speaker 6: keep gnashing, Just dribble for twenty four seconds and get

959
00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:33,680
Speaker 6: a shot.

960
00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:35,480
Speaker 5: And yeah, this is uh.

961
00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:39,840
Speaker 6: You know, everybody rides the guys on the losing team always,

962
00:42:40,320 --> 00:42:42,359
Speaker 6: but Jason Tatum, even though he got to the line,

963
00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:45,680
Speaker 6: didn't have a great shooting night again, has not had

964
00:42:45,680 --> 00:42:48,600
Speaker 6: a great shooting night for a couple of games now.

965
00:42:48,719 --> 00:42:51,960
Speaker 6: But Kemba Walker and Jalen Brown were good enough to

966
00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:54,839
Speaker 6: pick him up, and so yeah, we just ride all

967
00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:58,520
Speaker 6: the wraps. But Jase tatumus is getting by because other

968
00:42:58,600 --> 00:43:00,960
Speaker 6: guys stepped up, and when Kyle Lowry didn't step up

969
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:04,200
Speaker 6: in game five, which is understandable with everything he did

970
00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:07,920
Speaker 6: in Game three, in Game four, then everybody gets ripped

971
00:43:08,440 --> 00:43:11,719
Speaker 6: on the wrap. So they just needed they needed them

972
00:43:11,719 --> 00:43:13,840
Speaker 6: to step up. He's been the most disappointing guy for me.

973
00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:17,839
Speaker 6: We're talking about a guy who is trying to take

974
00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:20,000
Speaker 6: the throne from Kawhi Leonard as a number one guy,

975
00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:23,120
Speaker 6: as a superstar guy. He just hasn't shown that in

976
00:43:23,239 --> 00:43:24,120
Speaker 6: the bubble whatsoever.

977
00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:25,080
Speaker 4: No, for sure?

978
00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:26,960
Speaker 3: All right, well we'll call it there. We'll see game

979
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:29,600
Speaker 3: six on Wednesday. We'll see who's standing. We'll still see

980
00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:33,120
Speaker 3: who's still truly bullies in this team and whether or

981
00:43:33,120 --> 00:43:36,839
Speaker 3: not we'll have to be wearing green hats come Thursday soon.

982
00:43:37,200 --> 00:43:39,560
Speaker 3: But I'm confident. I'm still confident there's a game seven

983
00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:40,799
Speaker 3: in this series. I mean a lot of us were

984
00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:42,799
Speaker 3: saying game seven right from the jump. So we will

985
00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:45,160
Speaker 3: find out. Okay, let's take a quick break and then

986
00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:47,000
Speaker 3: we'll get a little is this news right?

987
00:43:47,840 --> 00:43:50,600
Speaker 4: I gotta check something before starting this ad rate here, Lee,

988
00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:52,120
Speaker 4: is football back?

989
00:43:53,800 --> 00:43:55,080
Speaker 1: Apparently this weekend?

990
00:43:55,120 --> 00:43:57,440
Speaker 3: It comes back? Yes, Thursday? Well this Thursday?

991
00:43:57,480 --> 00:43:59,160
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, yeah, excellent.

992
00:43:59,239 --> 00:44:02,520
Speaker 3: In that case, how is the time to celebrate football

993
00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:03,040
Speaker 3: is back?

994
00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:05,839
Speaker 4: As a Bears fan, I just can't wait to see

995
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:10,279
Speaker 4: Mitch Trubisky starting at quarterback again. It's gonna work this time.

996
00:44:10,320 --> 00:44:13,160
Speaker 4: All he's got to do is play with juice. I

997
00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:14,840
Speaker 4: saw that's what the coach said today. He's got to

998
00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:17,280
Speaker 4: play with juice. But if you want to play with juice.

999
00:44:17,680 --> 00:44:20,440

Speaker 4: against the competition. Personally, I'll be pulling a Bears and

1012
00:44:57,280 --> 00:45:01,600
Speaker 4: adding Trubisky to my team over Deshaun Watson and Patrick Mahomes.

1013
00:45:01,760 --> 00:45:06,120
Speaker 4: I'm basically guaranteed to feel the sweat, but nothing acts

1028
00:45:55,120 --> 00:46:03,560
Speaker 3: All right, let's get to is this news? I'm only

1029
00:46:03,640 --> 00:46:07,560
Speaker 3: out one headline here today tasks I'm gonna throw it

1030
00:46:07,600 --> 00:46:12,279
Speaker 3: at you first. Bleacher Report. The headline reads Stephen A.

1031
00:46:12,560 --> 00:46:17,080
Speaker 3: Smith says Damian Lillard believes he and Joannis could win

1032
00:46:17,160 --> 00:46:20,239
Speaker 3: an NBA title with the Blazers. Is this news?

1033
00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:24,759
Speaker 6: It's a nice headline. Bleacher Report got us talking, and

1034
00:46:24,880 --> 00:46:29,520
Speaker 6: I think the answer is yes, Damian Lillard Yantopo leading

1035
00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:32,200
Speaker 6: a team they could they could definitely do that. And

1036
00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:35,399
Speaker 6: I know they were just reading into Yanstead Gooopo having

1037
00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:39,520
Speaker 6: a subpar series, a pub par series here in round

1038
00:46:39,600 --> 00:46:42,520
Speaker 6: number two. He's not pond par like Paul George. And

1039
00:46:42,920 --> 00:46:46,200
Speaker 6: there is a chance that he leaves at the end

1040
00:46:46,239 --> 00:46:49,000
Speaker 6: of his contract, which isn't this year. He's got another year.

1041
00:46:49,320 --> 00:46:51,680
Speaker 6: So that's where the talk is coming from. Where's he going,

1042
00:46:51,760 --> 00:46:53,080
Speaker 6: Where's he going? Where's he going?

1043
00:46:53,239 --> 00:46:53,840
Speaker 5: And Steven A.

1044
00:46:53,920 --> 00:46:58,359
Speaker 6: Smith found a team that isn't the the common teams

1045
00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:01,480
Speaker 6: that people are talking about, which are the Golden State Warriors,

1046
00:47:01,480 --> 00:47:04,360
Speaker 6: which are the Miami Heat. He found another sort of

1047
00:47:04,560 --> 00:47:09,279
Speaker 6: middling team that needs a superstar. But I think this

1048
00:47:09,480 --> 00:47:11,880
Speaker 6: is clear. You know, we don't know what Koupo is

1049
00:47:11,880 --> 00:47:14,360
Speaker 6: going to do. I think this is clear. The Miami

1050
00:47:14,440 --> 00:47:17,520
Speaker 6: Heat are going to beat the Bucks this series. The

1051
00:47:17,560 --> 00:47:20,560
Speaker 6: Bucks are going to change their coach, unfortunately for Mike Budenholzer,

1052
00:47:20,920 --> 00:47:23,400
Speaker 6: and so there's going to be a year where Giannis

1053
00:47:23,440 --> 00:47:26,320
Speaker 6: has a chance with another coach, but the roster is

1054
00:47:26,360 --> 00:47:30,080
Speaker 6: going to be very similar. They're locked into most of

1055
00:47:30,080 --> 00:47:32,840
Speaker 6: their guys arsan Eliasova might go.

1056
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:33,840
Speaker 5: He might play tonight.

1057
00:47:34,360 --> 00:47:38,080
Speaker 6: But the question is will he sign another contract with

1058
00:47:38,280 --> 00:47:40,640
Speaker 6: the Bucks, because you know, I think he's going to

1059
00:47:40,760 --> 00:47:43,520
Speaker 6: be there at the beginning of next season. Will he

1060
00:47:43,640 --> 00:47:45,719
Speaker 6: want to hear all the talk about, hey, you're a

1061
00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:48,759
Speaker 6: free agent in eight months, where you're going, Where you're going,

1062
00:47:48,960 --> 00:47:51,040
Speaker 6: where you're going? Does he want the Kevin Durant treatment.

1063
00:47:51,120 --> 00:47:52,879
Speaker 6: I think there's a chance that he signed some sort

1064
00:47:52,880 --> 00:47:56,560
Speaker 6: of extension this offseason just to shut everybody up so

1065
00:47:56,719 --> 00:47:59,400
Speaker 6: he doesn't have to deal with it. Even if it's

1066
00:47:59,480 --> 00:48:01,600
Speaker 6: not a long term deal. He may sign a one

1067
00:48:01,680 --> 00:48:04,399
Speaker 6: in one just to get people off his back. It'll

1068
00:48:04,440 --> 00:48:06,920
Speaker 6: be an extension. He can still get out of Milwaukee

1069
00:48:07,520 --> 00:48:09,919
Speaker 6: if it doesn't work out in the next year or two,

1070
00:48:10,760 --> 00:48:13,399
Speaker 6: whether it be with Boonholz or a slightly different roster

1071
00:48:13,719 --> 00:48:15,759
Speaker 6: the following year. Because I think they're going with it

1072
00:48:16,360 --> 00:48:19,880
Speaker 6: next year. That's the situation with Giannis from my perspective,

1073
00:48:19,960 --> 00:48:24,840
Speaker 6: he ain't going anywhere right now. And that's that great headline. Raiders,

1074
00:48:24,880 --> 00:48:28,880
Speaker 6: thought's sweat their job. There's absolutely their job. Stephen A

1075
00:48:29,000 --> 00:48:30,880
Speaker 6: says it. Bleacher Report rates it.

1076
00:48:31,719 --> 00:48:35,960
Speaker 1: What do you think, Lee, I think Giannis and Damon

1077
00:48:36,080 --> 00:48:38,040
Speaker 1: c J McCollum would be a good team. Yeah, I

1078
00:48:38,120 --> 00:48:41,680
Speaker 1: mean he doesn't think that, you know, it's better. Of course,

1079
00:48:41,760 --> 00:48:45,239
Speaker 1: when you look at the Blazer's cap situation. Lillard I

1080
00:48:45,280 --> 00:48:47,640
Speaker 1: think has got like forty three million zero to him

1081
00:48:47,680 --> 00:48:50,840
Speaker 1: in two seasons and McCollums at about thirty three, so

1082
00:48:50,880 --> 00:48:52,839
Speaker 1: they're already like seventy six million. You know, you think

1083
00:48:52,880 --> 00:48:55,719
Speaker 1: Giannis would be demanding the max salary when he goes

1084
00:48:55,760 --> 00:48:58,480
Speaker 1: out there, which is somewhere around I think forty eight

1085
00:48:58,600 --> 00:49:00,840
Speaker 1: or forty nine million by that stage.

1086
00:49:00,920 --> 00:49:03,640
Speaker 3: So Portland would have to train CJ.

1087
00:49:03,800 --> 00:49:08,040
Speaker 1: McCollum, I think, to get Yon probably probably, But yeah,

1088
00:49:08,160 --> 00:49:11,359
Speaker 1: I mean, of course any too superstars together could win

1089
00:49:11,440 --> 00:49:15,480
Speaker 1: the championship. Yes, I agree with that. That's that's not

1090
00:49:15,640 --> 00:49:19,040
Speaker 1: a big chuck, but it's it's you know, it's it's

1091
00:49:19,040 --> 00:49:21,200
Speaker 1: going to be a weird season for sure there with Yannis,

1092
00:49:21,320 --> 00:49:23,520
Speaker 1: because I don't think he wants to talk about I

1093
00:49:23,560 --> 00:49:25,120
Speaker 1: think he wants to concentrate on what he's doing, and

1094
00:49:25,160 --> 00:49:27,080
Speaker 1: I think he does want to stay and win in Milwaukee,

1095
00:49:27,800 --> 00:49:30,120
Speaker 1: but he's going to just hear it non stop, non

1096
00:49:30,200 --> 00:49:33,560
Speaker 1: stop every city he goes to. When they go to Miami,

1097
00:49:33,600 --> 00:49:35,600
Speaker 1: when they go to Toronto when they go to Golden State,

1098
00:49:35,920 --> 00:49:38,840
Speaker 1: and the speculations is going to mount. So how he

1099
00:49:38,960 --> 00:49:41,359
Speaker 1: addresses it's going to be interesting whether or not he's

1100
00:49:41,440 --> 00:49:43,960
Speaker 1: like if anyone asks me, I'm just not talking about it,

1101
00:49:44,400 --> 00:49:47,040
Speaker 1: or if maybe, as Tasa saying, is like trying to

1102
00:49:47,040 --> 00:49:49,319
Speaker 1: find some way to sort of appease both where it's

1103
00:49:49,400 --> 00:49:52,959
Speaker 1: not the Supermax which he's eligible for. Instead it's something

1104
00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:55,319
Speaker 1: I think Bradley Build did something similar where he could

1105
00:49:55,320 --> 00:49:58,040
Speaker 1: have signed for longer, but instead he signed for a

1106
00:49:58,120 --> 00:49:59,880
Speaker 1: couple of years in Washington there. I think that was,

1107
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:02,000
Speaker 1: but I can't remember exactly what the details were they.

1108
00:50:02,120 --> 00:50:05,560
Speaker 1: But maybe Jannis does something like that. I don't really know,

1109
00:50:05,680 --> 00:50:07,360
Speaker 1: but I know that I'm not looking forward to listening

1110
00:50:07,400 --> 00:50:08,239
Speaker 1: to it all season one.

1111
00:50:08,400 --> 00:50:10,319
Speaker 3: Well, and then to put the impetus on the Bucks

1112
00:50:10,440 --> 00:50:13,799
Speaker 3: organization to either change their coach or make a deal themselves. Right,

1113
00:50:13,840 --> 00:50:16,320
Speaker 3: There's been a lot of rumors around, Hey could you

1114
00:50:16,400 --> 00:50:19,040
Speaker 3: get Chris Paul Yeah on this Bucks team? Is there

1115
00:50:19,080 --> 00:50:20,560
Speaker 3: a move to be made? Is there a three team

1116
00:50:20,600 --> 00:50:22,400
Speaker 3: move to be made to try and get him in

1117
00:50:22,480 --> 00:50:23,840
Speaker 3: there to pair with Jannis?

1118
00:50:23,920 --> 00:50:24,040
Speaker 6: Well?

1119
00:50:24,120 --> 00:50:26,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, and who knows, You're right, We're ultimately not

1120
00:50:26,680 --> 00:50:28,520
Speaker 3: going to know until we decide. Oh see what Jannis

1121
00:50:28,520 --> 00:50:30,160
Speaker 3: sort of decides what the extension, whether or not he

1122
00:50:30,480 --> 00:50:33,240
Speaker 3: even signs the thing. What's your take on the headline

1123
00:50:33,280 --> 00:50:36,319
Speaker 3: tray or just this idea of Jannis and the Bucks

1124
00:50:36,360 --> 00:50:36,880
Speaker 3: moving forward.

1125
00:50:37,560 --> 00:50:40,560
Speaker 4: The Bucks haven't even been eliminated from this playoffs and

1126
00:50:40,680 --> 00:50:43,120
Speaker 4: people are already trying to get Yannis out of Milwaukee,

1127
00:50:43,239 --> 00:50:45,000
Speaker 4: so get used to hearing it. He's gonna have to

1128
00:50:45,080 --> 00:50:48,760
Speaker 4: answer the questions. My question, though, is is this tampering?

1129
00:50:49,239 --> 00:50:51,880
Speaker 4: Is this tampering? If Damian Lillard says to stephen A. Smith,

1130
00:50:52,080 --> 00:50:54,719
Speaker 4: I want Giannis in Portland, and then Stephen A. Smith

1131
00:50:54,800 --> 00:50:57,960
Speaker 4: says Damian Lillard wants Jannis in Portland, it doesn't feel

1132
00:50:58,120 --> 00:51:00,239
Speaker 4: right to me, huh that a player who's our been

1133
00:51:00,239 --> 00:51:03,160
Speaker 4: eliminated from the playoffs can be talking about getting another

1134
00:51:03,239 --> 00:51:05,640
Speaker 4: one who's still under contract. It's not like Giannis is

1135
00:51:05,640 --> 00:51:07,400
Speaker 4: going to be a free agent this year. I mean,

1136
00:51:07,400 --> 00:51:09,960
Speaker 4: there's no tampering amongst players, right, They're allowed to say

1137
00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:11,840
Speaker 4: they would like to play with whoever. If this was

1138
00:51:11,920 --> 00:51:14,680
Speaker 4: Magic Johnson saying it about the Lakers, you know, Lebron

1139
00:51:14,719 --> 00:51:17,200
Speaker 4: and Giannis could win the title together. They're two superstars.

1140
00:51:17,280 --> 00:51:20,560
Speaker 4: Any two superstars could win the title together. It's different then,

1141
00:51:20,640 --> 00:51:23,160
Speaker 4: but it just feels what a punch in the nuts

1142
00:51:23,200 --> 00:51:25,360
Speaker 4: for the Bucks really right, like they're having a disaster

1143
00:51:25,560 --> 00:51:28,680
Speaker 4: of a playoffs. Yeah, their superstar is hurt for kind

1144
00:51:28,719 --> 00:51:30,160
Speaker 4: of the first time in this career. We're not sure

1145
00:51:30,200 --> 00:51:32,640
Speaker 4: if he's gonna even be playing in these games. In

1146
00:51:32,760 --> 00:51:35,800
Speaker 4: this game five, and they've had the best record in

1147
00:51:35,800 --> 00:51:37,719
Speaker 4: the league for the past two years. Giannis is gonna

1148
00:51:37,719 --> 00:51:39,640
Speaker 4: win two MVPs. But just because of the way the

1149
00:51:39,680 --> 00:51:42,120
Speaker 4: playoffs are going, it's we gotta get Yanis out of there.

1150
00:51:42,239 --> 00:51:44,960
Speaker 4: It just it's terrible. It's bad. It's bad when the

1151
00:51:45,040 --> 00:51:47,760
Speaker 4: super when the guy hasn't even gotten his MVP trophy

1152
00:51:47,960 --> 00:51:49,359
Speaker 4: and people are saying he needs to leave.

1153
00:51:49,960 --> 00:51:51,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's enough. You're right. You feel for the Bucks

1154
00:51:51,960 --> 00:51:54,040
Speaker 3: fans with isn't I'm still go Vinci Stace. I'm still

1155
00:51:54,080 --> 00:51:56,480
Speaker 3: convinced that guy is is going to be loyal to

1156
00:51:56,560 --> 00:51:59,080
Speaker 3: the organization and to Milwaukee and just signs a massive thing.

1157
00:51:59,200 --> 00:52:01,760
Speaker 3: As I mean, I hear you on this, like shorter contract,

1158
00:52:01,880 --> 00:52:04,080
Speaker 3: the one on one. Maybe we've seen it before, no doubt,

1159
00:52:04,520 --> 00:52:07,440
Speaker 3: but also, man, wow, here is like two hundred and

1160
00:52:07,520 --> 00:52:10,800
Speaker 3: fifty million dollars plus, Like here you go that you

1161
00:52:10,840 --> 00:52:13,680
Speaker 3: know you're set for life, of course your entire family.

1162
00:52:13,800 --> 00:52:16,000
Speaker 3: You've got kids now, Like, I don't know, that's not

1163
00:52:16,160 --> 00:52:18,960
Speaker 3: easy to pass that up or rip that up and

1164
00:52:19,040 --> 00:52:21,080
Speaker 3: go for a shorter one when especially maybe just when

1165
00:52:21,120 --> 00:52:23,319
Speaker 3: you hurt yourself. I don't know if that comes into

1166
00:52:23,320 --> 00:52:25,759
Speaker 3: play too and you actually really tweaked your ankle. But

1167
00:52:26,280 --> 00:52:28,400
Speaker 3: I think he's still going. I don't think he's going anywhere,

1168
00:52:28,440 --> 00:52:29,680
Speaker 3: I should say. I think he is going to be

1169
00:52:29,719 --> 00:52:31,680
Speaker 3: loyal here to Milwaukee. And I'm just more intrigued to

1170
00:52:31,680 --> 00:52:34,719
Speaker 3: see what they can do to improve the roster and

1171
00:52:34,920 --> 00:52:37,200
Speaker 3: if that is just starting with the coach who maybe

1172
00:52:37,280 --> 00:52:39,560
Speaker 3: has proven to be a regular season coach and can't

1173
00:52:39,600 --> 00:52:41,920
Speaker 3: adapt in the playoffs, or is it trying to get

1174
00:52:42,000 --> 00:52:44,040
Speaker 3: like another star in there, and what moves can be

1175
00:52:44,080 --> 00:52:46,240
Speaker 3: made to pull that off. Again, I think it would

1176
00:52:46,280 --> 00:52:47,800
Speaker 3: have to be almost like a three team deal to

1177
00:52:47,840 --> 00:52:50,320
Speaker 3: really get someone you would want. That's intriguing to me.

1178
00:52:50,520 --> 00:52:52,600
Speaker 3: So we will see, but just want to slip that

1179
00:52:52,719 --> 00:52:54,920
Speaker 3: in there. We don't need to go heavy on all. Yeah,

1180
00:52:55,000 --> 00:52:56,960
Speaker 3: your honest is leaving. We will just wait and see

1181
00:52:57,000 --> 00:52:59,840
Speaker 3: what he decides to do. Guys, I saw a photo

1182
00:53:00,960 --> 00:53:05,040
Speaker 3: the other day of a young Michael Jordan drinking gatorade

1183
00:53:05,080 --> 00:53:08,239
Speaker 3: from a glass bottle, and it stopped me dead in

1184
00:53:08,360 --> 00:53:12,680
Speaker 3: my tracks. Yeah, I remember those bottles. I'm old enough.

1185
00:53:13,360 --> 00:53:16,840
Speaker 3: We used to drink our lemon lime gatorade from a

1186
00:53:17,000 --> 00:53:21,560
Speaker 3: forty six ounce glass bottle. That's crazy when you think

1187
00:53:21,560 --> 00:53:24,600
Speaker 3: about it, but it was a different time. We consumed

1188
00:53:24,800 --> 00:53:27,879
Speaker 3: sports drinks out of glass bottles and let our man

1189
00:53:28,080 --> 00:53:31,840
Speaker 3: bushes run wild. Pubic hair. Is it on you?

1190
00:53:32,680 --> 00:53:33,320
Speaker 4: Not anymore?

1191
00:53:33,440 --> 00:53:37,560

1217

1218
00:55:09,080 --> 00:55:14,120
Speaker 3: really weird, gulled for the foul, kicked him in the face,

1219
00:55:14,520 --> 00:55:18,560
Speaker 3: very sweet chin music. Like Sean Michaels actually enjoyed it.

1220
00:55:18,960 --> 00:55:20,800
Speaker 3: He tweeted here, I think I don't know it was

1221

1223
00:55:25,880 --> 00:55:28,359
Speaker 3: issues hitting sweet Chin music on the NBA basketball court

1224
00:55:28,400 --> 00:55:32,399
Speaker 3: and he had the last and am very on Trey Kirby. Also,

1225
00:55:32,840 --> 00:55:34,759
Speaker 3: you were pointing out how it reminded you of a

1226
00:55:35,000 --> 00:55:39,719
Speaker 3: classic classic NBA meme there taking it to the to

1227
00:55:39,840 --> 00:55:42,320
Speaker 3: the face his face there.

1228
00:55:43,680 --> 00:55:46,759
Speaker 4: A joke face that's like, I'm more extreme kicked in

1229
00:55:46,840 --> 00:55:48,880
Speaker 4: the face face than the guy who's getting kicked in

1230
00:55:48,920 --> 00:55:51,560
Speaker 4: the face by Sean Michael sweet Chin music. He's selling

1231
00:55:51,600 --> 00:55:52,000
Speaker 4: it harder.

1232
00:55:53,520 --> 00:55:56,360
Speaker 6: I renewval with the boot there, that's mads favorite player.

1233
00:55:58,120 --> 00:56:02,000
Speaker 5: Who is Shawn Michaels giving the boot to I don't

1234
00:56:02,040 --> 00:56:02,560
Speaker 5: recognize that?

1235
00:56:02,719 --> 00:56:03,720
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, Johns.

1236
00:56:04,120 --> 00:56:07,400
Speaker 1: It looks like James Gordon a little bit that that

1237
00:56:07,480 --> 00:56:08,000
Speaker 1: just a little bit.

1238
00:56:09,320 --> 00:56:11,600
Speaker 4: I don't remember the guy who wrestled in a green track.

1239
00:56:11,719 --> 00:56:12,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, exactly.

1240
00:56:12,560 --> 00:56:14,200
Speaker 4: It's a Being town Boy, the only guy.

1241
00:56:14,280 --> 00:56:17,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, this Being town Boy the only only person I

1242
00:56:17,200 --> 00:56:19,120
Speaker 3: could think of task. It is a hell of a

1243
00:56:19,200 --> 00:56:22,359
Speaker 3: stretches trade. Do you remember there was like they were

1244
00:56:22,440 --> 00:56:25,600
Speaker 3: like a fake tough guy group from the mean streets

1245
00:56:25,640 --> 00:56:26,719
Speaker 3: of Greenwich, Connecticut.

1246
00:56:27,600 --> 00:56:29,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, cho Max Buddies.

1247
00:56:31,239 --> 00:56:31,520
Speaker 6: I don't know.

1248
00:56:31,800 --> 00:56:32,960
Speaker 4: It could be one of those guys.

1249
00:56:32,800 --> 00:56:34,359
Speaker 3: For sure part of that For all I know, who

1250
00:56:34,400 --> 00:56:35,279
Speaker 3: knows If people are.

1251
00:56:35,200 --> 00:56:38,480
Speaker 4: Saying Kobe Bautista and the chat is saying his.

1252
00:56:38,640 --> 00:56:45,520
Speaker 6: Name is Mikey, Mikey, his name is Mikey Bike. It's

1253
00:56:45,600 --> 00:56:46,960
Speaker 6: not seamous, that's for sure.

1254
00:56:47,200 --> 00:56:48,920
Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, for sure. Okay, So that was

1255
00:56:48,960 --> 00:56:50,480
Speaker 3: the only good thing to come out of the Raptors

1256
00:56:50,560 --> 00:56:54,319
Speaker 3: Game five, the sweet and music from Pascal Saka for sure.

1257
00:56:54,640 --> 00:56:57,640
Speaker 3: All right, task, let's look ahead to today's two games.

1258
00:56:57,680 --> 00:57:01,480
Speaker 6: What we got Double hatter Box trying to stave off

1259
00:57:01,560 --> 00:57:05,880
Speaker 6: elimination against the Miami Heat. We don't know at six

1260
00:57:05,880 --> 00:57:09,840
Speaker 6: point thirty Eastern whether or not Janistkoompo will be suiting up.

1261
00:57:09,920 --> 00:57:13,680
Speaker 6: He's still questionable game time decision with that ankle. Let's

1262
00:57:13,719 --> 00:57:16,920
Speaker 6: go around the horn. Are we finishing this series today?

1263
00:57:17,400 --> 00:57:18,480
Speaker 5: Trey? What do you think?

1264
00:57:20,160 --> 00:57:23,000
Speaker 4: Yeah? Yeah, I think we are, But I don't know.

1265
00:57:23,040 --> 00:57:26,520
Speaker 4: I didn't think the Heat would have a game with

1266
00:57:26,680 --> 00:57:28,720
Speaker 4: low effort. You know, they played really hard games one

1267
00:57:28,760 --> 00:57:31,200
Speaker 4: through three, and then even Bam was calling him out

1268
00:57:31,200 --> 00:57:33,680
Speaker 4: for not playing their hardest in game four. I would

1269
00:57:33,720 --> 00:57:36,600
Speaker 4: imagine in an elimination game, after already giving up the

1270
00:57:36,640 --> 00:57:40,440
Speaker 4: gentleman's game, it's over but we'll see maybe Jannis is back,

1271
00:57:40,560 --> 00:57:44,040
Speaker 4: maybe he's able to channel a little rage into that

1272
00:57:44,120 --> 00:57:47,040
Speaker 4: ankle and play an incredible game, and Chris Middleton's able

1273
00:57:47,080 --> 00:57:49,720
Speaker 4: to recreate what he was doing from the foul line

1274
00:57:50,200 --> 00:57:53,120
Speaker 4: at Game four. That being said, give me the heat tonight.

1275
00:57:54,120 --> 00:57:56,000
Speaker 3: I'm also going with the heat here to end this.

1276
00:57:56,200 --> 00:57:58,439
Speaker 3: I think we do get a much better Jimmy Butler

1277
00:57:58,520 --> 00:58:01,760
Speaker 3: Butler performance, but we'll say it would be cool. I mean,

1278
00:58:01,920 --> 00:58:04,560
Speaker 3: honest was a questionable going into Game four, right because

1279
00:58:04,600 --> 00:58:07,880
Speaker 3: of the ankle he plays. He was incredible with nineteen

1280
00:58:07,880 --> 00:58:09,840
Speaker 3: points and eleven minutes, and then he retweaks it and

1281
00:58:09,920 --> 00:58:12,479
Speaker 3: then he's gone. If he were to do that again

1282
00:58:12,560 --> 00:58:14,800
Speaker 3: and actually, you know, be able to play throughout the game,

1283
00:58:14,880 --> 00:58:17,560
Speaker 3: puts up monster line and the Bucks could win a

1284
00:58:17,640 --> 00:58:21,400
Speaker 3: game five, things would get really really interesting. I think

1285
00:58:21,760 --> 00:58:23,840
Speaker 3: you would have a lot of people starting to convince

1286
00:58:23,880 --> 00:58:26,720
Speaker 3: themselves we could have our first ever comeback from three

1287
00:58:26,760 --> 00:58:28,960
Speaker 3: to zero. But I don't see that being the case.

1288
00:58:29,160 --> 00:58:30,840
Speaker 3: I don't even know if he really should play.

1289
00:58:31,520 --> 00:58:31,680
Speaker 4: I know.

1290
00:58:31,800 --> 00:58:34,200
Speaker 3: Vincent Goodwill had a great article up on Yahoo's Sports

1291
00:58:34,720 --> 00:58:37,240
Speaker 3: comparing it the possibility of comparing it to like, well,

1292
00:58:37,280 --> 00:58:39,400
Speaker 3: look what happened when Grant Hill Lee you back in

1293
00:58:39,480 --> 00:58:41,840
Speaker 3: like two thousand, tried to tough it out on a

1294
00:58:41,920 --> 00:58:44,000
Speaker 3: bad ankle and that did him in in the playoffs

1295
00:58:44,040 --> 00:58:46,640
Speaker 3: for the Pistons. Kevin Garnett is a more recent example.

1296
00:58:46,720 --> 00:58:48,960
Speaker 3: Of course, we hope he can bounce back from him

1297
00:58:49,040 --> 00:58:51,680
Speaker 3: trying to give it a go in the finals. Yeah

1298
00:58:51,880 --> 00:58:53,600
Speaker 3: you know, you're down three to Oho. No one's ever

1299
00:58:53,680 --> 00:58:55,880
Speaker 3: done it. Maybe you just say, hey, awesome Chris Middleton

1300
00:58:55,960 --> 00:58:58,000
Speaker 3: game there in game four, see if he can do

1301
00:58:58,080 --> 00:59:00,480
Speaker 3: it again, and you just sit you honest, I don't know,

1302
00:59:00,880 --> 00:59:02,400
Speaker 3: my gut says he tries to give it a go.

1303
00:59:02,560 --> 00:59:05,480
Speaker 3: I hope nothing really serious happens, but I'll take the

1304
00:59:05,600 --> 00:59:07,880
Speaker 3: Heat to close it out here tonight.

1305
00:59:07,920 --> 00:59:09,840
Speaker 1: What do you think, Lee, Yeah, well what you said

1306
00:59:09,840 --> 00:59:11,840
Speaker 1: at the start there is I think the Heat do win.

1307
00:59:11,920 --> 00:59:13,959
Speaker 1: But I'm actually pulling for the Bucks here tonight because

1308
00:59:14,000 --> 00:59:16,200
Speaker 1: i want that craziness. I want that chaos.

1309
00:59:16,280 --> 00:59:18,320
Speaker 3: And people say, and maybe the Bucks.

1310
00:59:18,120 --> 00:59:19,920
Speaker 1: Can be the first team to come back. Wouldn't that

1311
00:59:20,080 --> 00:59:22,760
Speaker 1: change the whole story. That means Bud's staying, That means

1312
00:59:22,840 --> 00:59:24,800
Speaker 1: Yarnis is staying, and then this is the greatest and

1313
00:59:24,960 --> 00:59:27,880
Speaker 1: so you know, again, there's no home court. So if

1314
00:59:27,920 --> 00:59:29,960
Speaker 1: you're the Bucks, like you're like, listen, you gotta go

1315
00:59:30,080 --> 00:59:31,680
Speaker 1: out there and just throw it all, lay it all

1316
00:59:31,680 --> 00:59:33,640
Speaker 1: on the ground, do whatever it takes to win and

1317
00:59:33,760 --> 00:59:36,160
Speaker 1: put some pressure back on the Heat. So yeah, my

1318
00:59:36,520 --> 00:59:38,560
Speaker 1: pick is Miami to win. But I'm pulling for the

1319
00:59:38,600 --> 00:59:41,760
Speaker 1: Bucks tonight to just to make this a wild series

1320
00:59:41,840 --> 00:59:44,439
Speaker 1: and that'd be awesome to see. It'd be so much fun.

1321
00:59:45,480 --> 00:59:45,880
Speaker 5: No doubt.

1322
00:59:45,880 --> 00:59:50,320
Speaker 6: We're looking for the fourth of four Eastern Sorry Conference

1323
00:59:50,320 --> 00:59:54,760
Speaker 6: semifinals actually be a series because the other three are series.

1324
00:59:54,880 --> 00:59:58,960
Speaker 6: This one there's some hope. Let's hope that these guys

1325
00:59:59,040 --> 01:00:01,800
Speaker 6: can come back and win. But I doubt Yiannis is

1326
01:00:01,880 --> 01:00:04,440
Speaker 6: on the floor. He did try and uh, you know,

1327
01:00:04,600 --> 01:00:06,280
Speaker 6: come back in Game four. It re injured.

1328
01:00:06,320 --> 01:00:06,360
Speaker 3: It.

1329
01:00:07,040 --> 01:00:09,400
Speaker 6: I just find I find it hard to believe that

1330
01:00:09,520 --> 01:00:12,000
Speaker 6: he's going to do everything that he can. But at

1331
01:00:12,000 --> 01:00:14,840
Speaker 6: the same time, can you really put him out there

1332
01:00:15,000 --> 01:00:18,040
Speaker 6: again after after seeing him crumple to the floor. He's

1333
01:00:18,080 --> 01:00:21,800
Speaker 6: going to do it, uh, as much as possible. He's

1334
01:00:21,800 --> 01:00:24,040
Speaker 6: got Liam, his son in the stands. He's gonna be

1335
01:00:24,120 --> 01:00:26,800
Speaker 6: working his ass off in the back trying to get right.

1336
01:00:26,920 --> 01:00:29,120
Speaker 5: But I doubt it. And I think that the heat

1337
01:00:29,800 --> 01:00:31,720
Speaker 5: after being thrown off a little bit.

1338
01:00:31,760 --> 01:00:36,080
Speaker 6: Because of Yannis leaving the game, they they didn't see

1339
01:00:36,120 --> 01:00:39,560
Speaker 6: this offense without Janison, and they're, you know, just kind

1340
01:00:39,600 --> 01:00:41,160
Speaker 6: of took the foot off the pedal a little bit.

1341
01:00:41,760 --> 01:00:44,440
Speaker 6: I think they'll be ready for it this time. No

1342
01:00:44,560 --> 01:00:47,080
Speaker 6: matter what happens there, they'll have a bounce back game.

1343
01:00:47,680 --> 01:00:50,880
Speaker 6: But probably the more interesting game the second one of

1344
01:00:51,000 --> 01:00:53,200
Speaker 6: the doubleheader, because it already is a series. It's the

1345
01:00:53,280 --> 01:00:56,560
Speaker 6: Rockets and the Lakers. Rockets win Game one, Lakers bounced

1346
01:00:56,600 --> 01:01:00,360
Speaker 6: back to win Game two. What are you going to

1347
01:01:00,400 --> 01:01:02,520
Speaker 6: do here in game three? Can the Rockets come back?

1348
01:01:02,600 --> 01:01:03,480
Speaker 6: Can they bounce back?

1349
01:01:03,520 --> 01:01:06,360
Speaker 5: Trey? What do you think the Rockets can bounce back?

1350
01:01:07,400 --> 01:01:10,280
Speaker 4: You know, their small ball has thrown teams for a

1351
01:01:10,320 --> 01:01:12,600
Speaker 4: loop before, and I think it will continue to do.

1352
01:01:12,720 --> 01:01:14,880
Speaker 4: But it feels like the Lakers figured things out a

1353
01:01:14,960 --> 01:01:17,320
Speaker 4: little bit in game two, getting the ball to Anthony

1354
01:01:17,400 --> 01:01:19,520
Speaker 4: Davis and having him make his moves kind of right

1355
01:01:19,560 --> 01:01:21,720
Speaker 4: away and just being able to shoot over PJ. Tucker

1356
01:01:21,840 --> 01:01:24,200
Speaker 4: rather than waiting and letting Tucker and the rest of

1357
01:01:24,240 --> 01:01:27,800
Speaker 4: the Rockets load up. The question is who wins the

1358
01:01:27,880 --> 01:01:30,680
Speaker 4: three point battle? If the fun or if the Rockets

1359
01:01:30,720 --> 01:01:32,600
Speaker 4: are really hot and the Lakers are cold, that can

1360
01:01:32,640 --> 01:01:34,600
Speaker 4: be a Rockets win as well. We'll see if Westbrook's

1361
01:01:34,640 --> 01:01:37,680
Speaker 4: able to improve on his poor Game two, but I

1362
01:01:37,720 --> 01:01:39,800
Speaker 4: think it's going to be the Lakers. You know, I

1363
01:01:39,800 --> 01:01:43,360
Speaker 4: wouldn't be surprised to see another douchebag sweep out of

1364
01:01:43,520 --> 01:01:45,520
Speaker 4: La Skeps.

1365
01:01:45,520 --> 01:01:47,880
Speaker 5: Were your thoughts on this game? Where do we see

1366
01:01:47,880 --> 01:01:49,240
Speaker 5: a douchebag on the horizon?

1367
01:01:49,680 --> 01:01:51,360
Speaker 3: I don't know about a douchebag, No, I don't think so.

1368
01:01:51,680 --> 01:01:54,120
Speaker 3: I just fascinated to see what Westbrook we get here tonight,

1369
01:01:54,160 --> 01:01:55,840
Speaker 3: and what the story is on Twitter, and then what

1370
01:01:55,920 --> 01:01:58,160
Speaker 3: the story is here on the next No Dunks podcast.

1371
01:01:58,240 --> 01:02:01,360
Speaker 3: And either he was incredible hacking and you know, making

1372
01:02:01,400 --> 01:02:03,640
Speaker 3: all the right plays, or he was garbage and had

1373
01:02:03,680 --> 01:02:06,280
Speaker 3: eight turnovers and he took three threes he shouldn't have

1374
01:02:06,320 --> 01:02:09,360
Speaker 3: and we just do it after every Westbrook game. So

1375
01:02:09,400 --> 01:02:12,800
Speaker 3: I'm fascinated by that. I also will say I think

1376
01:02:13,280 --> 01:02:16,000
Speaker 3: we're due here in this series between these two teams.

1377
01:02:16,000 --> 01:02:18,000
Speaker 3: I think we're gonna be a really, really, really close

1378
01:02:18,080 --> 01:02:20,120
Speaker 3: game here tonight. I think this is gonna be maybe

1379
01:02:20,160 --> 01:02:22,560
Speaker 3: one of the best games of the series and possibly

1380
01:02:22,600 --> 01:02:24,880
Speaker 3: get like, you know, a buzzer beater or some controversial

1381
01:02:25,000 --> 01:02:27,200
Speaker 3: call and free throws or something. So put me down

1382
01:02:27,280 --> 01:02:30,120
Speaker 3: for a put me down for a Lakers game three win,

1383
01:02:30,320 --> 01:02:33,600
Speaker 3: but you know, some late game heroics here from like

1384
01:02:33,680 --> 01:02:34,520
Speaker 3: a Lebron or ad.

1385
01:02:35,120 --> 01:02:38,400
Speaker 5: That's my prediction for this one, Leeward, I think.

1386
01:02:38,560 --> 01:02:40,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think the Lakers go to one up. But

1387
01:02:40,640 --> 01:02:42,400
Speaker 1: I sort of agree with what you're saying this Kits.

1388
01:02:42,400 --> 01:02:43,800
Speaker 1: I think it's going to be closer. And if the

1389
01:02:43,880 --> 01:02:46,360
Speaker 1: Rockets move that ball around, if they visit around early

1390
01:02:46,480 --> 01:02:48,960
Speaker 1: on and start hitting threes and put the Lakers under pressure,

1391
01:02:49,000 --> 01:02:51,160
Speaker 1: that's the best way the Rockets can play. And then

1392
01:02:51,160 --> 01:02:53,600
Speaker 1: if they open up the floor, then Westbrook it opens

1393
01:02:53,640 --> 01:02:55,919
Speaker 1: up lane. He can drive and be effective. So that's

1394
01:02:56,080 --> 01:02:58,520
Speaker 1: I think the key here for Houston. Put pressure on

1395
01:02:58,680 --> 01:03:01,600
Speaker 1: LA from the start, HiT's threes and then allow Westbrook.

1396
01:03:01,640 --> 01:03:03,200
Speaker 3: But the Rockets hit twenty two threes.

1397
01:03:03,320 --> 01:03:04,840
Speaker 1: I know, but it's when they hit him, it's when

1398
01:03:04,840 --> 01:03:07,720
Speaker 1: they hit them. I think because they started off slow,

1399
01:03:07,720 --> 01:03:09,480
Speaker 1: they slept the walk through that first half. But in

1400
01:03:09,560 --> 01:03:11,480
Speaker 1: the second half, which we've seen before, especially in that

1401
01:03:11,560 --> 01:03:13,960
Speaker 1: third quarter, the Rockets can sort of you know, they

1402
01:03:14,000 --> 01:03:16,360
Speaker 1: can they can get themselves right back into a game.

1403
01:03:16,440 --> 01:03:19,400
Speaker 1: So I'm excited for this game though, in this series

1404
01:03:19,480 --> 01:03:22,680
Speaker 1: because you know, the Rockets, the Lakers deserve to be favorite.

1405
01:03:22,760 --> 01:03:25,280
Speaker 1: But there's an inn there for the Houston Rockets if

1406
01:03:25,280 --> 01:03:27,800
Speaker 1: they if they play the right way for the majority

1407
01:03:27,840 --> 01:03:29,360
Speaker 1: of the game and not just for half a game.

1408
01:03:30,680 --> 01:03:33,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm just a little bit worried about the Rockets

1409
01:03:33,560 --> 01:03:37,160
Speaker 6: after hitting twenty two threes. That's a lot and still

1410
01:03:37,880 --> 01:03:42,120
Speaker 6: unable to win. You know, the Horthand theory. It's a

1411
01:03:42,200 --> 01:03:45,240
Speaker 6: real thing. They can just be hot again, that's for sure.

1412
01:03:46,680 --> 01:03:48,919
Speaker 6: But I think the Lakers are now starting to play small.

1413
01:03:49,000 --> 01:03:52,360
Speaker 6: They sat dwayd Howard last game. JaVale McGee got injured,

1414
01:03:52,360 --> 01:03:54,360
Speaker 6: so he played even less even though he started at

1415
01:03:54,400 --> 01:03:58,080
Speaker 6: the five. The Lakers can play the Rockets game. They've

1416
01:03:58,080 --> 01:04:01,280
Speaker 6: got Anthony Davis at the five, and they don't want

1417
01:04:01,320 --> 01:04:02,920
Speaker 6: to play it for forty eight minutes. But I think

1418
01:04:02,960 --> 01:04:06,200
Speaker 6: they're now they're getting warmer to it. They're warming up

1419
01:04:06,240 --> 01:04:11,680
Speaker 6: to having guys scramble. And I love watching Lebron play

1420
01:04:11,680 --> 01:04:13,400
Speaker 6: at the back of his own I love watching old

1421
01:04:13,480 --> 01:04:16,200
Speaker 6: man Lebron after watching him young in Spry, you know,

1422
01:04:16,400 --> 01:04:19,240
Speaker 6: years ago. Now he's an old geezer back there, and

1423
01:04:19,320 --> 01:04:23,760
Speaker 6: Anthony Davis, you know, just really threatening every Rocket player

1424
01:04:23,800 --> 01:04:26,720
Speaker 6: that goes in there. So this is definitely a fun series.

1425
01:04:27,120 --> 01:04:31,320
Speaker 6: And I'm just a little worried about the Rockets.

1426
01:04:31,280 --> 01:04:32,240
Speaker 5: But I can't wait. I can't wait.

1427
01:04:32,240 --> 01:04:34,480
Speaker 6: I think Russell Westbrook will have a bounce back game,

1428
01:04:34,600 --> 01:04:37,000
Speaker 6: so it should be a good one.

1429
01:04:37,280 --> 01:04:39,600
Speaker 3: Let's hope. So let's hope it's better than the raptor

1430
01:04:39,600 --> 01:04:43,040
Speaker 3: of Celtics game. That's all I got, guys, and call

1431
01:04:43,080 --> 01:04:46,280
Speaker 3: it there. Send your questions in, keep them coming, no dunks.

1432
01:04:46,280 --> 01:04:48,400
Speaker 3: At the Athletic dot Com New Beat step In podcast

1433
01:04:48,480 --> 01:04:53,400
Speaker 3: on Wednesday tomorrow, following our daily show recapping those two games,

1434
01:04:53,480 --> 01:04:55,480
Speaker 3: we just talked about the Heat and the Bucks, see

1435
01:04:55,480 --> 01:04:57,800
Speaker 3: if the Bucks can survive, and then that pivotal well

1436
01:04:58,000 --> 01:05:01,000
Speaker 3: semi pivotal Game three between the Lakers and the Rockets.

1437
01:05:01,000 --> 01:05:03,080
Speaker 3: So you know the numbers, the stats say you want

1438
01:05:03,120 --> 01:05:05,320
Speaker 3: to really win that game three tasks when it's a

1439
01:05:05,360 --> 01:05:07,680
Speaker 3: one to one series, it's like seventy three percent of

1440
01:05:07,760 --> 01:05:09,840
Speaker 3: the time the team wins, it goes on. So not

1441
01:05:10,080 --> 01:05:13,360
Speaker 3: quite as high as the pivotal Game five, but very important.

1442
01:05:13,720 --> 01:05:16,040
Speaker 6: Team that wins usually wins the series. That's that's what

1443
01:05:16,160 --> 01:05:17,400
Speaker 6: the stats should just read from.

1444
01:05:18,840 --> 01:05:21,000
Speaker 3: If you guys listen to the podcast on iTunes, please

Speaker 2: Yeah.

1451
01:05:39,560 --> 01:05:41,439
Speaker 1: the light eighties, ely ninties, but we definitely had glass

Speaker 1: coke and you know, pepsi and all that sort of stuff.

1453

Speaker 3: Yeah.

1454
01:05:44,080 --> 01:05:45,760
Speaker 1: And it is crazy when you think about it now,

1455
01:05:45,880 --> 01:05:47,680
Speaker 1: just how dangerous that ities. But you can still get

1456

1484
01:06:48,920 --> 01:06:50,880
Speaker 1: He's an early nineties in Australia, so that maybe he's

1485
01:06:50,920 --> 01:06:53,560
Speaker 1: from a different genre, you know, maybe he's from the

1486
01:06:53,640 --> 01:06:57,400
Speaker 1: early two thousands, early two.

1487
01:06:58,240 --> 01:07:01,960
