37
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 3: little bit later today. But let's get into the action.

38
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,519
Speaker 3: And oh my god, we had another Weggie, another defensive

39
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 3: minded Weggie. Although there was a foul call in the play,

40
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 3: that's okay, still counts good stuff there in a very

41
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 3: entertaining thunder Pelicans game, which you know we're gonna break down,

42
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 3: But Weggie fifty four, Tassie, we got five to go

43
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 3: to set the all time record.

44
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 2: When it comes to the play and those Wedgies have

45
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:35,359
Speaker 2: a defensive mind. Hey, yeah, I love it. I love it.

46
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 2: That's what happens. We're close. Yeah, hey, we didn't factor

47
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:40,359
Speaker 2: in these extra games in the play.

48
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 4: Sure playing games texture.

49
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 2: Games to count towards the Weggie record. Should they? Should

50
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 2: it count?

51
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:48,080
Speaker 3: Yes?

52
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 2: Well there be an asterisks. No, you're right, you're right?

53
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 2: All right, I agree.

54
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:56,079
Speaker 3: Let's get into last night's games, the nine to ten matchups.

55
00:02:56,639 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 3: What a night for the tenth seeded squads in this association.

56
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 3: Zach Lavine scores thirty nine as the Bulls beat the

57
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 3: Raptors one O nine, one O five in the playing game.

58
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 3: We had an absolute blast watching this one on playback,

59
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 3: thanks to everybody who swung by and watched it live.

60
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 3: We had like six hundred people. At one point we

61
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 3: were crashing the system, I think, But TK, congratulations are

62
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 3: in order to you and all the Bulls fans. You

63
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 3: had your flag hanging outside your house, and you had

64
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,799
Speaker 3: the scream queen in derozansn or jinxing the Raps at

65
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,520
Speaker 3: the line. What do you think about this one? Ever?

66
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 3: After having some time to think about it a little bit.

67
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 4: I think the exact same things I fought last night hilarious.

68
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 2: How in the world did this game happen?

69
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 4: You never hear about free throw defense, but Dr DeRozan

70
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 4: one percent brought it last night. It started early, people saying,

71
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 4: what's that screaming sound We're hearing the entire time on

72
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 4: the broadcast. Eventually I feel like it came out via Twitter.

73
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 4: Originally that's tomar de Rozan's daughter sitting near court side

74
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 4: behind one of the baskets, screaming during every Raptor's free throw.

75
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 4: And then eventually the Raptors were missing so often and

76
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 4: you could hear her so clearly. ESPN had to get

77
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 4: her on the broadcast. Yeah, a split screen every time

78
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 4: the Raptors went to the line, showing Dr screaming as

79
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:20,159
Speaker 4: the Raptors took their free throws.

80
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:22,280
Speaker 2: In Canada, they wouldn't show her. They wouldn't show her

81
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:28,159
Speaker 2: yead No, they said, no, we're not showing her because

82
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 2: it was shameful.

83
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 4: She got a highlight, real lesson every one of the

84
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 4: Raptors misses because of Dr Derozen. Incredible stuff.

85
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 2: She was great off the court. On the court. This

86
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:40,719
Speaker 2: was Zach.

87
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 4: Lavine's signature game. The guy got a max contract last season.

88
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 4: Two hundred million dollars, struggled out of the gate, really

89
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 4: found his rhythm further into the season. Basically once the

90
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,840
Speaker 4: calendar turned to twenty twenty three, it spent twenty seven

91
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 4: a game fifty to forty ninety. Struggled in the first

92
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 4: half of this game only nine points. He was passing

93
00:04:57,720 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 4: out too much. We said at halftime, Levin's got us

94
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 4: looking to score. Yeah, and he just went to the

95
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,839
Speaker 4: rim all the time in the second half of this game.

96
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,040
Speaker 4: Ended up taking fifteen free throws. Thirteen of those came

97
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 4: in the second half. He made twelve alone, which was

98
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 4: enough to beat the Raptors because the Bulls got a

99
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 4: whopping five to three pointers in the second half. That's

100
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 4: the equivalent of making double digits in a game, and

101
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 4: that really turned the tide. The miss free throws actually

102
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 4: being able to hit, and Levine putting the team on

103
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 4: his back. Definitely his biggest moment as the Chicago bull

104
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 4: So really happy for him because he went through some

105
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 4: bad times with the Bulls early in his tenure.

106
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it did illustrate sort of that type of

107
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:37,720
Speaker 3: tear he's been on since the All Star break too.

108
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 3: But you're right, that's his first postseason, not playoff signature performance,

109
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 3: but that was amazing and like there was that stretch there.

110
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 3: I think siakam and Og went to the bench near

111
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 3: the end of the third quarter, and that is really

112
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 3: when Zach Lavine and Derozen for that matter, they attacked.

113
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 3: I mean they just put pressure. Nobody could stay in

114
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 3: front of anyone out there on the perimeter. And that's

115
00:05:57,680 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 3: sort of the Raptors defense. I mean, they press up.

116
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 3: They want to like, you know, force the action. And

117
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,160
Speaker 3: I wonder in a game against the Bulls, like maybe

118
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 3: you want to, you know, drop a little bit, make

119
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 3: these guys shoot. But an incredible game from him, like

120
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:13,599
Speaker 3: thirty in the second half, and you know the Raptors

121
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:15,159
Speaker 3: helped them out by missing a bunch of free throws.

122
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 2: Sure, yeah, I think we'll get to Okac's game. And

123
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:20,599
Speaker 2: it was sort of like Shay what Zach Lavine did

124
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 2: at halftime. Decided I'm the best player. I'm going to

125
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 2: turn it on and Zach was phenomenal going to the rim.

126
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:30,920
Speaker 2: The other part of it was the Raps stopped guarding

127
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:32,920
Speaker 2: at the rim. They fell apart. You know, you can

128
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 2: look at any stat the free throws. Sure if the

129
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 2: Bulls lost this game. You'd say the three point discrepancy,

130
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:43,160
Speaker 2: the offensive rebound discrepancy, that the Raps won sixteen eight,

131
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 2: but they fell apart in the fourth quarter.

132
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 3: That's what they've done all season long.

133
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the thing that's totally true. They couldn't pass

134
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:52,719
Speaker 2: the ball. They literally couldn't pass the ball. The Pascal

135
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 2: Siakam to Yaka pertl passed down low that they just fumbled,

136
00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 2: and then it goes the other way into a score.

137
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 2: Same thing with Fred van Vliet trying to pass the

138
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 2: Yaka Purtol on that lue. And the ugly part is

139
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:06,239
Speaker 2: the other way where when it goes into a score,

140
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 2: like DeMar DeRozan had a sort of that semi transition

141
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 2: dunk on your head that shouldn't happen in a fourth quarter,

142
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 2: postseason playoff, whatever the heck this is, that should just

143
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 2: shouldn't happen. Pascal Siakon gotta put your h It wasn't

144
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 2: Pascal siak It was Precious Chew. You gotta put your

145
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 2: face on the line. Just get your face on. In

146
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 2: de Mar's way, that dunk should not happen. Into a

147
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 2: lesser degree, the zach Lavine dunk I mean, it was

148
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 2: just a failure. If you can't pass the ball, that's

149
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 2: what's going to happen, a monstrous fourth quarter, complete organizational failure.

150
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 2: I will let's say that players, coaching staff, front office,

151
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 2: and the director of ticket sales Dr. De Rozan cannot

152
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 2: be sitting court. She can't be. That happened when he

153
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 2: was a player on the team. Raptors fans. My man

154
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 2: Dave Setton started texting me, Oh, that's der Derosen. We

155
00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 2: know she used to do that when Damar played here. Yeah,

156
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 2: his wife sits court side when they played here. They're

157
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 2: the enemy. Now there should not be tickets given given

158
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 2: handed to the opponent.

159
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 4: Here go sit court side.

160
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 2: You can be the story. Obviously, it wasn't the free

161
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 2: throw defense that she provided. They just stuck at shooting

162
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 2: free throws the entire game and they were winning, right,

163
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 2: they were winning the entire gaming when they sucked at

164
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:23,239
Speaker 2: the free throw line. But the fourth quarter they literally

165
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 2: just couldn't pass each other the ball.

166
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, do you know where have your Chicago bull sources

167
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 3: told you where they're building the statue Derosan's daughter? Is

168
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 3: it right beside MJ's and the concourse there? Maybe outside.

169
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,439
Speaker 4: I think it's actually in the arena, the MJ one.

170
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:38,439
Speaker 4: It stays by itself, so they're putting it by the

171
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 4: Scottie Pippen busts okay, where he looks a little like

172
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 4: Scottie Pippen, So we'll see the accuracy. But she earned

173
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 4: it last night. Have any raptors come out and said

174
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 4: anything about Dr de Rozan specifically? I haven't been able

175
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:52,439
Speaker 4: to find.

176
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think so.

177
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 4: Obviously, Damar's like I heard screaming and then I turned

178
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 4: around and noticed it was my daughter, so I owe

179
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,680
Speaker 4: her some money, which was pretty funny. But I haven't

180
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 4: heard specifically from the raptors. You probably don't want to

181
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:08,440
Speaker 4: admit it. No, so I think they'll probably stay quiet

182
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 4: on that one. But maybe we'll get an expose later

183
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 4: on during the summers.

184
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,439
Speaker 3: What do you think about the word that DeRozan is

185
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 3: sending dr back to school and that she will not

186
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,559
Speaker 3: be going to Miami for Friday night's game.

187
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 4: Questionable?

188
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 3: That's questionable. Apparently just questionable.

189
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 4: I hope she comes down with the mystery illness in

190
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 4: the next couple of hours. Here has to stay in

191
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 4: Miami for some reason.

192
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 2: Oh, I need her. I thought I read a brief

193
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 2: headline in the Pulse from the Athletic that she would

194
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 2: be there.

195
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 3: No, well she was. She missed school to come up

196
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,199
Speaker 3: to Toronto for this game. But Damar has said, no,

197
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 3: you're going back to school and she apparently she will

198
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,560
Speaker 3: not be there. There's probably recently spring break as well.

199
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 3: I've been home a lot and it's insane though, you know,

200
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:54,679
Speaker 3: like okay, Like I loved how into the game she was.

201
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 3: We talked about on the playback, like there's nothing more

202
00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:00,560
Speaker 3: fun as a fan of a team on the road.

203
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 3: So you go for a playoff game, postseason game, playing game, whatever,

204
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:06,080
Speaker 3: and you're in enemy territory and you're trying your best

205
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 3: to like obviously cheer your team on. She just took

206
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 3: it to the next level with those screens. But them

207
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:12,079
Speaker 3: shooting eighteen to thirty six at the line in a

208
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 3: game that is very close tasks like they shit the

209
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 3: bed here og Siakam and Van Vliet, those guys shoot

210
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 3: eighty four percent, seventy seven percent, and ninety percent from

211
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 3: the line respectively. During the season. They combined to miss

212
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 3: fourteen free throws. Statudes had a great stat here second

213
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 3: most miss free throws in any game in Raptors franchise history,

214
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 3: trailing only the time they missed nineteen in a regular

215
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 3: season game back in nineteen ninety seven Valentine's Day. You

216
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 3: want to know who went to the line in that game.

217
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:49,439
Speaker 3: Carlos Rogers went three to twelve at the line. Now

218
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:52,079
Speaker 3: that makes more sense. He was a garbage free throw shot.

219
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 3: I think he shot like fifty five percent. Cam Be

220
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 3: missed three, Walt Williams missed a couple, Doug Chrissy missed

221
00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 3: a couple, pop By Jones missed one, Clifford Rogier, Reggie Slater,

222
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 3: there's some old Raptors names. They missed the couple. They

223
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:04,959
Speaker 3: went twenty four for forty three at the line in

224
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 3: that game. They lost to the Bucks by four. But

225
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 3: those are some bad free throw shooter, especially Rodgers. These

226
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 3: are good free throw shooters. That's the weird part with

227
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:14,719
Speaker 3: those guys. And then I'm having a chance to you know,

228
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,319
Speaker 3: sort of gifted a chance. I thought to tie the

229
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 3: game having three of them, but you knew he wasn't

230
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:21,199
Speaker 3: hitting all three, and the second one he nearly like

231
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 3: broke the rim. It wasn't even close.

232
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 2: So it was super strange with Siakam because the jumper

233
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:29,439
Speaker 2: was beautiful. Yeah, it seemed like the ball was flowing

234
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 2: off the fingers last night, but when he got to

235
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 2: the line, the opposite was happening. Yeah, thirteen to twenty

236
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:38,720
Speaker 2: two from the floor. Looked completely in control the first

237
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 2: half and then the third quarter. Raps feeling fineish going

238
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:45,720
Speaker 2: into the late third quarter, and then the fourth quarter

239
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 2: where yeah, they had fall apart all season, as you said,

240
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:51,959
Speaker 2: and it looked like they wanted to go home. It

241
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:56,200
Speaker 2: looked like the vibes were completely off and like they

242
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 2: have been all year, and it just had to end.

243
00:11:58,480 --> 00:11:59,840
Speaker 2: It just had to end. They had to put them

244
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:04,439
Speaker 2: out of their misery. They literally, if you're not getting back, okay,

245
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 2: you can't pass, sure, but you can't allow Alex Caruso

246
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 2: to have a long ass board that basically no one

247
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 2: goes to. And then the dunks on their heads. The

248
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 2: live ball turnovers were combined with not playing in transition.

249
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:22,440
Speaker 2: Just I was just murdered. I watched the fourth quarter

250
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 2: again because I'm a Masso chist and I just had

251
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 2: to see because we were on playback and we were

252
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:30,200
Speaker 2: just yelling at each other because it was awesome. It's

253
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 2: like incredible because it was just back and forth action

254
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 2: to bucket bucket, bucket, bucket, and I just couldn't believe

255
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 2: my eyes watching it back. Just how many the two

256
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:43,720
Speaker 2: monstrous dunks on your head in the fourth quarter should

257
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:45,440
Speaker 2: not happen. It just shouldn't happen.

258
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:47,199
Speaker 3: Do you think a part of the reason the Raptors

259
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 3: continually crap the bed and fourth quarters, not just in

260
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 3: this game, but all season long might have something to

261
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:56,559
Speaker 3: do with having zero bench and that the guys getting

262
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:58,839
Speaker 3: maybe a little gassed as the game goes on and

263
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 3: you get into the later minutes the game. What did

264
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 3: the Raps bench do? Once again in this precious Okay,

265
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:08,840
Speaker 3: fine Gary Trent Junior del that's good, had a great

266
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:11,440
Speaker 3: look to three on the side wide open. I think

267
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 3: he shot one to seven. Uh, Bouchet nothing and Wilbarton

268
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 3: did nothing.

269
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean just the problems season long, and yeah,

270
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 4: that's the thing. It's like, definitely, I feel like the

271
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 4: Raptors wore down a little bit. Van Vliet in particular,

272
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:30,079
Speaker 4: I think was getting used and abused by Levine off

273
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 4: the dribble. But what are you gonna do? You're gonna

274
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 4: play Trent a chure or Bouchet more. They were doing

275
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 4: nothing out there, which was a problem for the Raptors

276
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 4: and kind of has been for the past couple of seasons.

277
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was.

278
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:43,959
Speaker 3: It was cool to see, definitely Zach Lavine have that

279
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 3: signature moment like carrying his team back into the game,

280
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,840
Speaker 3: but then contributions that Carusoe finally hitting a three.

281
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:50,200
Speaker 4: Yeah.

282
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 3: Uh, Pat Bev on that huge rebound that was then

283
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:57,679
Speaker 3: called a foul, and that is where you know Nick Nurse, Yes,

284
00:13:57,760 --> 00:13:59,840
Speaker 3: the charge challenge challenge.

285
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 2: That's unbelievable. That is unbelievable. No one knows the rules.

286
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 2: Fred van Vliet was called for a foul, his coach challenged,

287
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 2: it was overturned and the Bulls got the ball right.

288
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:12,839
Speaker 3: Everyone was shocked. It wasn't a jump ball at the

289
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:13,400
Speaker 3: very least.

290
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, what did something similar happen with Nick Nurse earlier

291
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 4: this season where like he called the time out to

292
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 4: see if he could challenge a play. They told him

293
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 4: he could challenge it. He challenged it, and then they're like, no,

294
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 4: you can't actually challenge it. They wasted it.

295
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 2: Oh and they took it away.

296
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 3: Probably, Yeah, something crazy like that happened.

297
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 4: But yeah, that was a very weird call, but you know,

298
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 4: the Raptors got it back when they got gifted to

299
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 4: totally one on the Caruso fouling.

300
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 2: Pascal right there at the end.

301
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 4: I mean that I guess he never put the ball

302
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 4: back down, so it kind of was still a shot attempt,

303
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 4: but that was just an excitement call.

304
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 2: I think it. Let's keep it going then, this is crazy.

305
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 3: It was a sick rebound by Pat Pen with one

306
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 3: hand amongst all the bodies there. That was nice. Before

307
00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 3: we look ahead to Bull's heat on Friday night and

308
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 3: get your take on that Raptors here. I mean, this

309
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 3: could be a huge, huge offseason, like Nick Nurse possibly gone.

310
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 3: Will wait to find out whether they move, you know,

311
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 3: separate in separate directions. Does he go somewhere else? Do

312
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:12,600
Speaker 3: the Raptors want in different voice in there, Perl unrestricted,

313
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 3: Gary Trent, Junior Van Vliet both for agents as well,

314
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 3: extensions in play for some of their main guys. And

315
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:23,840
Speaker 3: then they need shooting, they need a bench. This you know,

316
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 3: like I heard Will Loo on the on the his

317
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 3: postgame podcasts this morning, this maybe was one of the

318
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 3: most like disappointing Raptor seasons. When you think like or

319
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 3: worse Raptor seasons because there is a talented team here.

320
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 3: You see it in games, you see it in quarters

321
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 3: and stuff like that. But then for them to be

322
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 3: this mid forty one and forty one team and then

323
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:48,520
Speaker 3: losing here to you know, a fine Bulls team who

324
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 3: took over and took control of that game, Like that's

325
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 3: what sucks. You're like, there's something here, but wow, it's

326
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 3: not clicking with this squad and the direction they made

327
00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 3: at the deadline bringing Pearl in. So it's like they

328
00:15:59,000 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 3: got a lot of decisions.

329
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, absolutely the off season, I think, yeah, it's bittersweet.

330
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 2: It's it's tough obviously for Rapstans because there's were some

331
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 2: expectations there and it's painful. I kind of yearned for

332
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 2: the days of Walt Williams, Clifford Rosier and Carlos Rogers

333
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 2: were expectations were zero and then you go into the

334
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:24,920
Speaker 2: off season. Well, we won thirty one games. That was awesome.

335
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 2: Now it's a disappointing season because you pooped when it

336
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 2: came down to it. It was it was hard to

337
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 2: watch that fourth quarter. For sure, there's gonna be big

338
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 2: changes because the vibes are off Nick Nurse literally said

339
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 2: my shelf life is sort of done here without saying that,

340
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 2: I don't I if Nurse comes back. It's because there's

341
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 2: changes in the in the roster which I think are

342
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 2: going to happen. I think Fred's moving on. I think

343
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 2: that's the biggest part, because he's the biggest free agent.

344
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 3: That's the silver lining for some fans. Losing last night,

345
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 3: it was like, there's no way this front office and

346
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:05,480
Speaker 3: Messi and Bobby Webster can look at this team and go,

347
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:08,719
Speaker 3: you know, well run it back, see you next year,

348
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 3: Like we'll get him next year. There's just no way.

349
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:13,879
Speaker 3: So maybe that maybe they maybe they're that starts to

350
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:16,399
Speaker 3: happen if they win this game and obviously beat the

351
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 3: Heat and they put up a fight against the Bucks,

352
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:20,240
Speaker 3: Like then you maybe start to convince us, oh yeah,

353
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:21,879
Speaker 3: we could do this. We got the piece of but

354
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:24,879
Speaker 3: you know, losing to the Bulls and in spectacular fashion,

355
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:28,160
Speaker 3: really you have to have to go change this roster

356
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 3: and yeah, and probably you know, I'm fascinating to see

357
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:33,440
Speaker 3: type of deal. Van Vleikaetz offered from other teams whether

358
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:35,920
Speaker 3: they keep him, whether you should keep him at his

359
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 3: age and like like he was hitting threes. But then

360
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 3: Van Vliet's problem is like, hey, go create it, Go

361
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:43,919
Speaker 3: get us a bucket at the card position. I mean

362
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 3: he had the hero pull up too and transition there

363
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:47,959
Speaker 3: late that one bit of a backbreaker.

364
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 2: But then tried to be a little too much of

365
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 2: a hero at total rim totally multiple times in this game.

366
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:57,919
Speaker 4: One inside the end for that's a step baby, I.

367
00:17:57,920 --> 00:17:59,440
Speaker 2: Mean, is back there? What are you supposed to do?

368
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:04,359
Speaker 2: But this is a team that's been together for a

369
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 2: long time, so there's there's there's no just hey, let's

370
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 2: run it back. It's impossible. You can't do that, right,

371
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 2: We did it at the deadline this Yeah, we got

372
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 2: yacka pearls. So I imagine, imagine the front court is

373
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 2: going to be the same and perm in Anonobi and

374
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 2: and the back court will be different. Silver lining also

375
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 2: for us will be fresher in the postseason. You and me, Yeah,

376
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 2: we don't have to watch Rafters game. We don't have

377
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:30,160
Speaker 2: to struggle.

378
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 3: Absolutely.

379
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:36,639
Speaker 2: I'm still sore from last night anyway.

380
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 3: So okay, what do you do you like your chances

381
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:41,480
Speaker 3: on Friday night in Miami?

382
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 4: A little nervous, quite nervous. Bowls are three and zero

383
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,359
Speaker 4: against the Heat. Tough to beat a team four times

384
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 4: in a season, especially a team that you assume will

385
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:54,200
Speaker 4: be giving a better effort than they did against the

386
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:57,400
Speaker 4: Hawks last night, because this is elimination time now for Miami,

387
00:18:57,480 --> 00:18:59,359
Speaker 4: so I'm guessing Bam and Butler will be a little

388
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:02,159
Speaker 4: bit better. Also, the Bulls have won three straight games

389
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:04,480
Speaker 4: and have yet to have a four game winning streak

390
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:09,200
Speaker 4: this season, so another strike against Chicago. But to me,

391
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:11,920
Speaker 4: it's gonna play out very similarly to this game, Like

392
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 4: surely Miami will do what they can to take the

393
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 4: ball out ofto mar de Rozan's hands. I thought he

394
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:19,440
Speaker 4: did a pretty solid job last night, realizing that he

395
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:22,760
Speaker 4: needs to be an effective scorer and playmaker. But still

396
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 4: there are times when it calls to get off the ball,

397
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:27,920
Speaker 4: and like Levine create, Levine's gonna have to have a

398
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:30,639
Speaker 4: big game, and I think vouch Uh is gonna have

399
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 4: his hands full with Bam out of Bio. Bams a

400
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 4: lot quicker than Booch's likes to play in transition, and

401
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 4: he was so bad against the Hawks that you have

402
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:42,680
Speaker 4: to imagine he is coming out gangbusters against Chicago. So

403
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 4: it's gonna be a tough win and you know, I

404
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:47,280
Speaker 4: assume it could be very similar to this, where like

405
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:49,920
Speaker 4: one team hits a few more threes in one half

406
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:54,000
Speaker 4: and that kind of turns the difference. Send dir though,

407
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:56,720
Speaker 4: honestly like they have to have her at this point.

408
00:19:57,359 --> 00:19:59,400
Speaker 4: I kind of think, you know, it's like the Kings

409
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:02,640
Speaker 4: couldn't st light the beam and then stop it halfway through. Yeah,

410
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:04,439
Speaker 4: they're gonna be lighting the beam in the playoffs. Get

411
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:05,880
Speaker 4: the screen, you got to bring good luck, charm?

412
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 3: Yeah? What do you think of Friday night's game here

413
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 3: Bulls Miami?

414
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 2: I think there are charter flights available for dr I

415
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:14,959
Speaker 2: think she can get it in some hours on Friday

416
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:16,480
Speaker 2: at school and still make the game.

417
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 4: All right, okay, seven o'clock start, I think yeah, easy,

418
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:21,879
Speaker 4: school's done it.

419
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 2: Probably three the latest, all right?

420
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:27,400
Speaker 3: Maybe sure?

421
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:28,120
Speaker 2: A couple?

422
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:30,680
Speaker 3: All right, let's wait here. What people think Bulls and

423
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:33,200
Speaker 3: Heat Friday Night? Who you got taken that one? The

424
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:35,880
Speaker 3: winner of that game obviously advances to face the Milwaukee

425
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:38,760
Speaker 3: Bucks as the eight seed in the actual playoffs. The

426
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:42,200
Speaker 3: other game last night, so entertaining such a fun game,

427
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:46,800
Speaker 3: SGA and Giddy lead OKC past the Pelicans in their

428
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 3: nine to ten playing game. So They will now play

429
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,399
Speaker 3: on Friday night against the Minnesota Timberwolves in Mini to

430
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:55,120
Speaker 3: try and also get into the playoffs. But you said

431
00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 3: it already tasks you know, some similarity to Zach Levine

432
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 3: having a very quiet first Advent take over against the Wraps.

433
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:04,120
Speaker 3: That was SGA scoring twenty five of his thirty two

434
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 3: after halftime, including that go ahead little baseline jumper there

435
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:12,120
Speaker 3: and then the free throws in the clutch to seal

436
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:14,520
Speaker 3: the deal. But what do you think of SGA and

437
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 3: the thunders performance.

438
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:19,640
Speaker 2: I think that's becoming SGA's patented shot where the lane

439
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 2: is taken away, but he is able to float sort

440
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:26,240
Speaker 2: of towards the baseline and hit because he's just got

441
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 2: incredible body control and he's not gonna pull up for

442
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 2: a three. And yeah, maybe he'll he'll pull back and

443
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:34,960
Speaker 2: hit a shot in the mid range. But to me,

444
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 2: that's that's the shot. It's a little like what Julius

445
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 2: Randall does in a different way. That was the one

446
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:44,200
Speaker 2: that sealed it. But they got there, not only from

447
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:48,399
Speaker 2: SGA and Josh Giddy, but Jay Will I thought was

448
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:50,399
Speaker 2: awesome in the fourth quarter, just helping him out. Not

449
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 2: jdubj Will. This time he had a hook shot, a

450
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:56,879
Speaker 2: real hook shot. It was large, old school baby like

451
00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 2: way across the lane. And then he had a three

452
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 2: as well. So it came down to the last couple

453
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 2: of minutes. It really was a good fight. And yeah,

454
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:09,040
Speaker 2: unfortunately Brandon Ingram and CJ McCollum, they didn't execute. C

455
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:11,760
Speaker 2: J mccoum missed that one shot within the last minute.

456
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 2: They gave up a lot last year for CJ McCollum,

457
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 2: and it's unfortunate that he didn't come through right at

458
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:19,399
Speaker 2: the end. It's what it was. One team executed just

459
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:22,480
Speaker 2: a little bit more, and I think the live ball

460
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 2: turnover was huge, so I say one team executed a

461
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 2: little bit more. But okay, see really had a Shay

462
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:31,359
Speaker 2: Gilders Alexander bucket with one forty left where it was

463
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:34,200
Speaker 2: a live ball turnover where Brandon Ingram just fumbled bumbled

464
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 2: and Shay just went in and scored, and so they

465
00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:38,960
Speaker 2: didn't have to execute as much when they could just

466
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 2: LiveBall turnover and just grab a live ball turnover and score.

467
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:45,480
Speaker 2: Brand Ingram did come back and hit a shot, but then, yeah,

468
00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:47,360
Speaker 2: it was a free throw game basically. After that, Shay

469
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:52,400
Speaker 2: hit one shot and that was it. I do think,

470
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:53,679
Speaker 2: you know, when you sit back and you look at

471
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:56,480
Speaker 2: this game, the Pelicans just didn't have a good game

472
00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:59,479
Speaker 2: from one of their perimeter players in McCollum, Herbert Jones,

473
00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:03,159
Speaker 2: and Trey Murphy the third. They all contributed in one

474
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:05,720
Speaker 2: way or another, but just not a good game. Somebody

475
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 2: to really step up beside Brandon Inger. They just needed one.

476
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:12,720
Speaker 2: They just need one of those guys. I actually thought

477
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:15,160
Speaker 2: Trey Murphy was great. Herbert Jones I thought was pretty

478
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:15,760
Speaker 2: solid too. CJ.

479
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:18,440
Speaker 4: McCollum. Fourteen points on fifteen shots. That guy is the

480
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:20,440
Speaker 4: one who's supposed to be stepping up. Like if you're

481
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:24,040
Speaker 4: getting twenty from Murphy and Herb in these huge games,

482
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 4: I think that bad is a win there.

483
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:26,720
Speaker 2: But uh yeah, CJ.

484
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:29,880
Speaker 4: But yeah, he yeah, But I mean four to three

485
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 4: it's from Trey Murphy.

486
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:31,680
Speaker 2: That's that's a win right there.

487
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:34,680
Speaker 4: It was. It was on McCollum for me, like he

488
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 4: just looked completely out of it. He was nothing on defense.

489
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:42,000
Speaker 4: He was getting wasted by Shaye, no surprise there, and man, giddy,

490
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:43,159
Speaker 4: what an incredible.

491
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:44,439
Speaker 2: Game from this guy. He has no moves.

492
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:46,960
Speaker 4: It doesn't matter. They just lay off him. If he's

493
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:48,960
Speaker 4: feeling like taking the shot, he shot it with confidence

494
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:50,879
Speaker 4: last night. But if he wants to drive, he just

495
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:52,719
Speaker 4: drives into the hoop and he's like, oh, yeah, I'm

496
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 4: six inches taller than you. I'll do a simple spin move,

497
00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:57,440
Speaker 4: dink and dump it over the top. One of the

498
00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 4: best games he's played. I thought that was an incredible

499
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:03,440
Speaker 4: performance from giddeyon and like you're saying, Jaylen Williams center,

500
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 4: Jalen Williams, he was great eight, eight and eight, hit

501
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:07,440
Speaker 4: a three when they really needed.

502
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 3: It, and he had he hadn't hit a three old

503
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:11,399
Speaker 3: tame too, but he taken them.

504
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, he took a lot of threes. And also it

505
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:17,439
Speaker 4: was definitely an advantage for the Thunder once Valentunis went

506
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:18,879
Speaker 4: out with the ankle injury, they were gonna win that

507
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:20,840
Speaker 4: game if they could keep going to Valentunas in the post,

508
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 4: he was.

509
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 3: A monster to start this game, Holy grab it every

510
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:27,160
Speaker 3: offensive rebound and scoring inside and had a great line

511
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:29,399
Speaker 3: in the end too. But yeah, definitely limited with the

512
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:31,919
Speaker 3: ankle injury. I gotta say the poise though from the Thunder,

513
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:35,359
Speaker 3: like on the road in a must win game with

514
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:37,120
Speaker 3: a team that's like led by a guy that's under

515
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:39,119
Speaker 3: twenty five years old, that's your superstar and Shay and

516
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 3: then like two rookies, you know, both Jay Williams in

517
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:45,480
Speaker 3: there and then Giddy who's twenty you know doors not

518
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 3: like I just there's like I couldn't believe it. They

519
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:51,040
Speaker 3: weren't rattled at all, and they were trailing like two

520
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:53,720
Speaker 3: and a half minutes ago, they're down two, uh you know,

521
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 3: and then continueing Brandan Ingram was hitting big shots and

522
00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 3: they were trailing, and it's like, wow, they just kept

523
00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 3: coming up like I love you said, Like so Ingram

524
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 3: fumbled it on that play where Sga then got the

525
00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:04,920
Speaker 3: steal and went the other way in transition, but watch

526
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:07,639
Speaker 3: that whole possession awesome defense, I thought from Shaye, like

527
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:10,879
Speaker 3: he is like moving his feet like insanely, not biting

528
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:14,080
Speaker 3: on Ingram, just staying like locked in, and then there's

529
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:16,879
Speaker 3: a little fumble and he capitalizes and he he's the

530
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:19,639
Speaker 3: weirdest transition player in the game. It's like he somehow

531
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:21,159
Speaker 3: gets from like point A to point B in a

532
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 3: blink of an eye, but it also looks so damn slow,

533
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:26,120
Speaker 3: and it's like puts people to sleep as he sort

534
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:28,399
Speaker 3: of just smoothed, snaked his way inside and scored that

535
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:30,320
Speaker 3: one that tied in at one to twelve. But I

536
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:33,240
Speaker 3: just like, I couldn't believe, just for a team so young,

537
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,439
Speaker 3: they did not look rattled whatsoever. I mean, I think

538
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:39,240
Speaker 3: that they take on like they take on Shay's personality

539
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:41,920
Speaker 3: there a little bit like he's a cool cucumber, and

540
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:43,120
Speaker 3: they sort of all play that way.

541
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:46,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, And the way he guarded brandon Ingram on that play,

542
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:50,480
Speaker 2: it's it shows such a benefit for having a guard

543
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:53,159
Speaker 2: that's that's the smallest player on the floor at six

544
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 2: to six, to be able to just switch over and

545
00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:59,160
Speaker 2: guard brandon Ingram. And that's why they gotta be super

546
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 2: excited for when holding comes back, because then they have

547
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:04,800
Speaker 2: a center, real center, a real, real size back there.

548
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:09,159
Speaker 2: But yeah, Shay was extremely confident and poised. Yeah, they

549
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:12,119
Speaker 2: were all They out poised the Pels. It felt like

550
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:16,119
Speaker 2: I thought, you know, herb was a little bit reluctant

551
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:20,119
Speaker 2: at times at first. Yeah, it came down to the wire,

552
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:23,320
Speaker 2: it was. It was great there. It was great because

553
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:26,040
Speaker 2: no one folded. Both teams could have folded at times.

554
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:29,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, and Ingram man hit a shot that did he

555
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:31,159
Speaker 3: get touched there on the elbow. I mean it was

556
00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:33,000
Speaker 3: damn close where he hit the three right at the

557
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:36,240
Speaker 3: end to cut it to one, and he turned around

558
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 3: right away He's like, what the hell I got touched?

559
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:38,879
Speaker 3: Like it was a tough replay.

560
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:42,119
Speaker 2: I couldn't real tell you ye showed us. Yeah, cams

561
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:45,880
Speaker 2: weren't ready for brandon Ingram flying down the floor. Yeah,

562
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:48,520
Speaker 2: we didn't really see, did we if it was if

563
00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:53,040
Speaker 2: he was touched at all, But I don't think you

564
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:55,400
Speaker 2: can call it at that time. It didn't didn't seem

565
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:56,800
Speaker 2: like you really could call it at that time. But

566
00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 2: they also got the way they started for for the

567
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:02,520
Speaker 2: thigh under with Lou Dort coming out and having yeah,

568
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:03,480
Speaker 2: fourteen in.

569
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:04,080
Speaker 3: The first quarter.

570
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 2: They had a season high in the playing tournament. That's nice, especially.

571
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:11,359
Speaker 3: When like yeah, JV was you know, beating them up

572
00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:13,880
Speaker 3: inside and that was keeping around and like Herb Jones

573
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:16,400
Speaker 3: was doing a phenomenal job, and the Pelicans like getting

574
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 3: the ball out of SGA's hands and like really like

575
00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 3: taking him out of the game in the first half,

576
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 3: like they needed all those points from Dort, and like

577
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:26,400
Speaker 3: you said, Giddy's performance and Jalen Williams, like j Dubb

578
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:29,080
Speaker 3: you know, he had timely buckets at the end, like

579
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:30,959
Speaker 3: sort of moving off the ball. I think Giddy had

580
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:34,080
Speaker 3: a nice little bounce pass sort of like after they

581
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:38,399
Speaker 3: were down two points, they doubled Sga finds Giddy at

582
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:41,880
Speaker 3: the free throw line, they sort of collapse. J Dubb

583
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:44,560
Speaker 3: cuts baseline and there was a nice little bunce pass

584
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:45,879
Speaker 3: there from getting out the score and then I think

585
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:48,040
Speaker 3: he scored once again too, but like he didn't have

586
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:50,359
Speaker 3: like a whoa, like you know, knock you out of

587
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:52,840
Speaker 3: your seat type of game. But everybody contributed for them.

588
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:55,320
Speaker 3: What a fun one. It looked good too. I love

589
00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:58,680
Speaker 3: the blue and that red on that court. Anything else,

590
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:04,480
Speaker 3: I got a white my nose hold on. I just

591
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:06,760
Speaker 3: wanted one of you to start talking. Yeah, I want

592
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:10,359
Speaker 3: to blow my nose here. This is to the Raptors scenes. Buddy.

593
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:13,680
Speaker 2: It wasn't a good honk at all, not a good

594
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:17,560
Speaker 2: honk in the least summer. You see something new every

595
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:20,240
Speaker 2: no dunk. I think that's a first. What in the

596
00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:22,240
Speaker 2: history of this show. A live blow.

597
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:26,120
Speaker 4: Josh Richardson had a live blow last night.

598
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:28,040
Speaker 2: Tell Us more Wait.

599
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:31,200
Speaker 4: Punched Josh Getty right in the night. Yeah, Josh versus

600
00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:35,000
Speaker 4: Josh right on his Josh. I've always been skeptical of

601
00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:39,080
Speaker 4: Josh Richardson, and now it's great to have my fears confirmed.

602
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:43,200
Speaker 3: I love credit to Jay will I can't believe there's

603
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:45,760
Speaker 3: two Jalen Williams on the same day team that are

604
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:50,200
Speaker 3: both rookie. Jay Will tall one he held, He held

605
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 3: Josh back right away. I don't think he was gonna

606
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:54,840
Speaker 3: really gonna go do anything but good teammate there, but

607
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:58,120
Speaker 3: he saw it happen right away, jumped in. Fishles reviewed

608
00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:01,440
Speaker 3: that and they did determine Flankerfi and that resulted in

609
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:03,560
Speaker 3: some free throws. I think they split that one. Giddy

610
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:07,600
Speaker 3: at the line, Yeah maybe so yeah, Okay, So what

611
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 3: do you think about Friday Night's game between the Thunder

612
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 3: and the Wolves? Who you leaning towards in this one?

613
00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:17,520
Speaker 2: I don't really have a great answer for that one.

614
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:21,960
Speaker 2: The Timberwolves have got to play better. It's like what

615
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:25,760
Speaker 2: we're expecting with the Miami Heat, with these single game eliminations.

616
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:29,920
Speaker 2: Anything that happened, loud Dort can drop twenty seven on you, bop,

617
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:34,400
Speaker 2: what are you gonna do? And in a real playoff series,

618
00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 2: the team will respond like if if either of these

619
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:40,320
Speaker 2: teams were playing two games versus the same team, we'd

620
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:43,960
Speaker 2: expect a split, and I think the Wolves just bounce back,

621
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:45,840
Speaker 2: just like the Heat. I think are gonna bounce back.

622
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:49,520
Speaker 2: That's That's That's all I got for you, right now,

623
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:51,800
Speaker 2: That's all I got. I do believe the Wolves will

624
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 2: play more so. They actually played solid outside of Anthony Edwards.

625
00:29:57,720 --> 00:29:58,800
Speaker 4: They're good for three quarters.

626
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:02,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, who are you leaning on Friday night in this one?

627
00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:04,800
Speaker 4: Well, I mean, I guess, I guess the Timberwolves are

628
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:05,840
Speaker 4: getting Rudy Gobert back.

629
00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:07,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, right, is that good?

630
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:11,320
Speaker 4: Their offense usually looks better when Gobert is not out there.

631
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 4: They're gonna need him defensively just so that Karl Anthony

632
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:17,280
Speaker 4: Towns doesn't get into foul trouble. I would be very

633
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:19,160
Speaker 4: worried about that if I'm a Timberwolves fan. With the

634
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:21,560
Speaker 4: way that Shay can draw fouls, though I feel like

635
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 4: he got more of a postseason whistle last night compared

636
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:26,000
Speaker 4: to what we saw in the regular season.

637
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:27,640
Speaker 2: We would take ten free throws a game.

638
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:30,560
Speaker 4: Anthony Edwards has to be better, like, he has to

639
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:36,120
Speaker 4: at least approximate what SGA is doing. From that standpoint,

640
00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:40,520
Speaker 4: I think the Wolves are likely favored, but I mean

641
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:44,040
Speaker 4: that was a disappointing end to their loss against the Lakers,

642
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:46,800
Speaker 4: how disjointed they looked in the fourth quarter. It's very

643
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:49,160
Speaker 4: easy to see a world where Sga is the best

644
00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:50,960
Speaker 4: player on the court, especially if we're not getting a

645
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:53,440
Speaker 4: solid performance from Edwards, if he's hurt with his shoulder

646
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:57,360
Speaker 4: or anything like that. So Cat fowls as usual something

647
00:30:57,400 --> 00:31:00,320
Speaker 4: to watch here, I don't I don't know. If he's

648
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:02,160
Speaker 4: able to stay out of foul trouble, that's a huge

649
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:03,840
Speaker 4: advantage for them because Cat should be able to eat

650
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:07,320
Speaker 4: against the Thunder, I would think. And also if Chris

651
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 4: Finch decides to run a play I think would be

652
00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:11,160
Speaker 4: very very helpful in the fourth quarter.

653
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:14,160
Speaker 2: Fourth quarter Finchy, Yeah, what shall he do? But Gobert

654
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:16,600
Speaker 2: will help the Cat stay out of foul trouble, most

655
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 2: likely being on the floor.

656
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:21,760
Speaker 3: I guess I'm leaning towards taking the Thunder. All what

657
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:23,920
Speaker 3: you guys said is correct, though with probably the guy's

658
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:26,680
Speaker 3: bouncing back. But like I'm just looking at last night's game,

659
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:29,480
Speaker 3: Herb Jones is like an elite defensive player, Like he

660
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:32,360
Speaker 3: was trying his ass off, you know, on SGA a

661
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:35,760
Speaker 3: lot of the time. Again, quiet first half, SGA wasn't

662
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:37,880
Speaker 3: really forcing the action, you know, finding the open man.

663
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:40,800
Speaker 3: But like, who the hell if like SGA comes into

664
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:42,760
Speaker 3: Friday Night's game with like I am the best player

665
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:43,920
Speaker 3: on this floor and I'm going to take over this

666
00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:48,560
Speaker 3: game very early. Like, no, McDaniels really hurts the Timberwolves

667
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:52,120
Speaker 3: in terms of like perimeter defense. I think SGA could

668
00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:53,800
Speaker 3: have a monster game on Friday Night.

669
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:54,600
Speaker 2: Here, that definitely.

670
00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:57,560
Speaker 4: I mean, you would love to have McDaniels if you could.

671
00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:01,239
Speaker 4: But Anthony Edwards can hang. Yeah at athletically, he did

672
00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:03,959
Speaker 4: a really solid job on Lebron and obviously Lebron's got

673
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:05,880
Speaker 4: a lot of size on Edwards. So Edwards can bring

674
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:09,080
Speaker 4: the athleticism and the strength to SGA. But it's gonna

675
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:10,760
Speaker 4: be a matter of if those two guys get in

676
00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:14,360
Speaker 4: foul trouble, that's bad for the Wolves. Edward's our cat had.

677
00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:16,400
Speaker 3: I had no feel about this game last night we

678
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:18,880
Speaker 3: were talking about it. It's like, I don't know Pelicans Thunder,

679
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:20,480
Speaker 3: who knows? I sort of feel the same way a

680
00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:23,160
Speaker 3: little bit about Friday's Wolves Thunder game. So hopefully it's

681
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:25,280
Speaker 3: just as entertaining as this one because that was a blast.

682
00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:27,880
Speaker 3: We're gonna take our first break when we come back.

683
00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:31,160
Speaker 3: We're gonna preview and predict two more series, both of

684
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:33,840
Speaker 3: the two seven matchups in the East and the West.

685
00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:38,000

Speaker 3: We'll post it right after the show. Yeah. One word

694
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:03,959
Speaker 3: to describe the Raptors season, poop?

695
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:12,320
Speaker 2: What do you got? Alright? Alright?

696
00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:17,520
Speaker 3: Two seven playoff reviews here. Let's start in the Eastern Conference.

697
00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:20,840
Speaker 3: It's a hot conference. The Celtics will meet the Hawks

698
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:24,760
Speaker 3: top two conferences in the first round of the twenty

699
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:29,200
Speaker 3: three NBA Playoffs. Game one set up take place Saturday afternoon,

700
00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:32,240
Speaker 3: and Boston Celtics locked up the number two seed in

701
00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:35,320
Speaker 3: the regular season, winning fifty seven games, and look at

702
00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:37,480
Speaker 3: them on both sides of the ball there, my god,

703
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:41,280
Speaker 3: top two offensive rating and defensive rating, number one in

704
00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:43,520
Speaker 3: the league when it comes to net rating. The Hawks, meanwhile,

705
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:45,840
Speaker 3: oh you know, they're five hundred. But they did win

706
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:48,960
Speaker 3: their first playing game on Tuesday night to clinch that

707
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:53,360
Speaker 3: number seven seed. Boston seven to one all time against

708
00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:56,520
Speaker 3: Atlanta in the playoffs. But I think the Hawks won

709
00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 3: the last one that they played, if I have that right,

710
00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:02,840
Speaker 3: sixteen Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's been a while.

711
00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:05,360
Speaker 3: Celtics Hawks. One thing to watch, guys.

712
00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:09,680
Speaker 2: Nothing easy in this series. Nothing easy. One thing to

713
00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:13,680
Speaker 2: watch I think is the strength of the Hawks guards

714
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:18,359
Speaker 2: versus the strength of the Celtics defensive guards. The Hawks

715
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:21,760
Speaker 2: want to start everything through Trey and Dejonte, but Celic's

716
00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:24,200
Speaker 2: got a great matchup. I think they are going to

717
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:26,719
Speaker 2: start Derek White and Marcus Smart. They're not gonna go

718
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:28,759
Speaker 2: big and start Robert Williams and drop Derek White to

719
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:32,080
Speaker 2: the bench. So White and Smart against Trey and Jante,

720
00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:35,400
Speaker 2: I think will negate some of that strength that the

721
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:38,439
Speaker 2: Hawks want to be able to handle things from there.

722
00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:42,080
Speaker 2: So I just think that hurts. The Celtics are just

723
00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:44,120
Speaker 2: damn good. They can just play any way they want.

724
00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:47,560
Speaker 2: And in the next round if they get there, they'll

725
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:50,759
Speaker 2: deal with them beat in a different way. But they

726
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:52,560
Speaker 2: can play small, they can play big, they can run.

727
00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:55,719
Speaker 2: That's why they're so damn good. Brog Dog is just

728
00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:58,240
Speaker 2: waiting to come out and help out against those guards.

729
00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:00,680
Speaker 2: So there's just so much they can do against Trey

730
00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:03,200
Speaker 2: and Dejonte and then even Joe.

731
00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:05,400
Speaker 3: Brown obviously got a lot of those matchups too. A

732
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:08,000
Speaker 3: lot of great defensive guards on the Celtics, and you

733
00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:10,560
Speaker 3: think something to watch there and whether they can get

734
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:13,239
Speaker 3: them a little bit. Ye, what are you focusing in on.

735
00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:14,720
Speaker 3: It's interesting.

736
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:17,040
Speaker 4: I actually think the Hawks backcourt can win their matchup.

737
00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 4: Trey's been incredible against the Celtics this season. Is at

738
00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:23,560
Speaker 4: thirty three points a game, eleven assists. Marcus Smart Derek

739
00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:25,920
Speaker 4: White both very very streaky. That's something I think to

740
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:29,200
Speaker 4: keep an eye on is how aggressive Derek White is

741
00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:32,080
Speaker 4: as an offensive player. We saw in the playoffs last

742
00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:33,879
Speaker 4: season there were times when he didn't trust his jump

743
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:37,560
Speaker 4: shot and that really hurt the Celtics offense. He's been

744
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:40,400
Speaker 4: a great player this season, been very willing to take

745
00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:43,960
Speaker 4: three pointers, but sometimes he just wants to record scratch it.

746
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:46,319
Speaker 4: Maybe get into the floater game. Marcus Smart of course

747
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:48,640
Speaker 4: can go ten for twelve from three in a game

748
00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:51,399
Speaker 4: and go ohero for twelve from gate three in a game.

749
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:54,480
Speaker 4: I also think, you know, bog Don Bogdanovic has been

750
00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:57,040
Speaker 4: playing pretty solid lately. He can have a decent game

751
00:35:57,120 --> 00:36:00,520
Speaker 4: as well. I think maybe the big guys can wash

752
00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:03,040
Speaker 4: in this series. But there's a clear advantage for the

753
00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:06,520
Speaker 4: Celtics on the wing with Jason Tatum and Jalen Brown,

754
00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:10,520
Speaker 4: They're gonna be going up against basically DeAndre Hunter. That's it.

755
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:12,879
Speaker 4: There's not a lot of wings on the Atlanta Hawks

756
00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:14,919
Speaker 4: right now. Sadik Bay will probably get a lot of time.

757
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:15,880
Speaker 3: He is not good defense.

758
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:17,800
Speaker 4: He is not good defensively, but otherwise it's gonna be

759
00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:20,400
Speaker 4: John Collins trying to guard Jason Tatum. That's also a

760
00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:24,160
Speaker 4: problem there. Then you look defensively, the Celtics have their

761
00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:26,279
Speaker 4: wings can guard so many different guys. Tatum and Brown

762
00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:28,560
Speaker 4: can take turns on some of the guards, on some

763
00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:32,240
Speaker 4: of the wings. They can be help defenders as well. Meanwhile,

764
00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:34,640
Speaker 4: you basically got to ask Dejontey Murray and DeAndre Hunter

765
00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:37,400
Speaker 4: to guard those guys for forty eight minutes and then

766
00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:39,879
Speaker 4: give you something offensively as well. I think that's where

767
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:40,960
Speaker 4: this series is really gonna be.

768
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:41,200
Speaker 2: One.

769
00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:45,479
Speaker 3: Can the Hawks replicate what they did against Miami Heat

770
00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:48,279
Speaker 3: in their playing game That's a big question. Obviously, they

771
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:50,000
Speaker 3: were a monster on the board, so that was why

772
00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:52,360
Speaker 3: they won the game. They just kept grabbing offensive rebounds.

773
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:56,080
Speaker 3: Capello was huge, but the Celtics lead the league in

774
00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:59,879
Speaker 3: defensive rebounding percentage in the regular season, though the Hawks

775
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:02,040
Speaker 3: games against them did pretty well in second chance points,

776
00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:04,759
Speaker 3: So you know, obviously it's not gonna be as easy

777
00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:09,960
Speaker 3: for Capella, for Collins, for Jalen Johnson, for a Congou

778
00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:15,040
Speaker 3: all their bigs to grab offensive rebounds against Celtics bigs

779
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:18,839
Speaker 3: compared to the Heat bigs, which was really Bam who

780
00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:20,920
Speaker 3: was having a brutal game, and then Love and Zella

781
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:23,719
Speaker 3: was like nothing. So you know, Robert Williams, he's gonna

782
00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:26,719
Speaker 3: play in this You're gonna see minutes. Al Horford, you know,

783
00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:30,399
Speaker 3: not the tallest guy, but basketball IQ through the roof

784
00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:32,359
Speaker 3: and he's gonna box out guys and try and keep

785
00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:34,520
Speaker 3: them off the glass. So I think that's where I'll

786
00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:36,279
Speaker 3: be watching, Just like the Hawks to win these games,

787
00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:38,920
Speaker 3: gonna need more possessions, probably, and can they get those

788
00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:41,400
Speaker 3: second chance points or will the Celtics, like they did

789
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:43,920
Speaker 3: all regular season against most teams, just took care of

790
00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:46,799
Speaker 3: business like they end possessions. That's the thing they got

791
00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:49,120
Speaker 3: to stop. They have great defensive players, but you gotta

792
00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:51,000
Speaker 3: get the rebound at the end or it doesn't really matter.

793
00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:52,120
Speaker 3: So we'll be watching that.

794
00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:54,800
Speaker 4: Problem for the Hawks is they had two incredible offensive

795
00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:57,040
Speaker 4: rebounding games against the Celtics this season. Yeah, one where

796
00:37:57,040 --> 00:37:58,759
Speaker 4: they had seventeen, one where they had sixteen, and they

797
00:37:58,800 --> 00:37:59,520
Speaker 4: lost both of them.

798
00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:00,840
Speaker 2: So that's a problem.

799
00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:03,319
Speaker 4: Yeah, because the Celtics shoots so many threes. That's how

800
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:05,279
Speaker 4: the Hawks really can win this series as if the

801
00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:08,440
Speaker 4: Celtics have a bad shooting series, because that happens they

802
00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:11,120
Speaker 4: take about half their shots from three pointers, which means

803
00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:12,759
Speaker 4: you can blow out a team by twenty points, but

804
00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:14,920
Speaker 4: also means, like the Celtics have done quite a few

805
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:17,000
Speaker 4: times this season, you can give back a double digit

806
00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:18,319
Speaker 4: lead easily in the second half.

807
00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:21,000
Speaker 3: Who do you have as an X factor from either team?

808
00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:23,160
Speaker 2: Go ahead to us, Well, I think what you just

809
00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:26,920
Speaker 2: said about the rebounding is important. With premier Ly with

810
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:30,320
Speaker 2: John Collins, because I think Clint Cappella and Al Horford

811
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:33,000
Speaker 2: will end up being some sort of a wash when

812
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:36,840
Speaker 2: you throw Robert Williams in there as well. But because

813
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:41,080
Speaker 2: the Celtics are going to probably play small, John Collins

814
00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:42,480
Speaker 2: is going to be out there and he has the

815
00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:47,520
Speaker 2: capability of out rebounding probably Jason Tatum or Jayalen Brown

816
00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:50,759
Speaker 2: the Wings. He's got to get extra possessions. Tatum Brown

817
00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:53,480
Speaker 2: are going to outscore him. They got to get extra possessions.

818
00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:57,120
Speaker 2: He can do that, he can he can jump over

819
00:38:57,160 --> 00:39:01,680
Speaker 2: the top and that will be, Yeah, the Celtics weak points,

820
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:03,759
Speaker 2: Trey pointed out with the numbers there, as he pointed out,

821
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:09,680
Speaker 2: skeets got to get extra possessions and pray and pray

822
00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:13,120
Speaker 2: that DeAndre Hunter and to John Tay Murray, who's gonna

823
00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:16,080
Speaker 2: be undersized against Tatum and Brown, There's no doubt they

824
00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:19,560
Speaker 2: do a decent enough job. It's there's just there's just

825
00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:22,440
Speaker 2: a lot of ifs here on the Celtics team, on

826
00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:24,600
Speaker 2: this Hawks, for this Hawks team, because the Celtics just

827
00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:26,600
Speaker 2: do so much. So John Collins got to get some

828
00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:30,920
Speaker 2: extra possessions. And I do think the Celtics aren't going

829
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:33,080
Speaker 2: to respond to this issue that they know going into

830
00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:35,239
Speaker 2: the series. If US dummies know that the Hawks get

831
00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:37,719
Speaker 2: extra possessions, Missoula is not just gonna come out and

832
00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:39,520
Speaker 2: play Robert Williams. I don't think. I think they're gonna

833
00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:42,439
Speaker 2: play their style what they played all season long, which

834
00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:44,480
Speaker 2: was Al Horford at the five and Robert Williams coming

835
00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:46,960
Speaker 2: off the bench most of the time, and figure it

836
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:49,520
Speaker 2: out from there and keep Robert Williams as healthy as

837
00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:53,880
Speaker 2: possible for potential second and third rounds. They're gonna do

838
00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:55,919
Speaker 2: their They're gonna do their thing, and I think they'll

839
00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:58,640
Speaker 2: be ready for it. The Celtics, they are a chameleon.

840
00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:01,759
Speaker 2: They'll adapt. I think they'll they'll hard enough. But John

841
00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:04,560
Speaker 2: Collins should hope to hurt them in that department.

842
00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:04,879
Speaker 4: Yeah.

843
00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:07,080
Speaker 3: I wonder how much Capella even gets to play really

844
00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:09,399
Speaker 3: in this series, because when we saw the Celtics play

845
00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:14,120
Speaker 3: against them, when they went small right, it's like Capella

846
00:40:14,239 --> 00:40:16,000
Speaker 3: is like he's forced to be like, okay, well do

847
00:40:16,120 --> 00:40:17,920
Speaker 3: I drop. Well, then that's just a bunch of three

848
00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:20,400
Speaker 3: point shooters stepping into easy shots once the ball's rotated

849
00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:22,560
Speaker 3: or you know, you've got him in a bunch of

850
00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:25,680
Speaker 3: action and that's not his strong suit. So I wonder

851
00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:27,520
Speaker 3: like that's gonna be a decision for Quinn Snyder. You

852
00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:29,560
Speaker 3: want him in there, Capella because you want these chances

853
00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:32,120
Speaker 3: at extra points or rebounds and stuff like that. But

854
00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:33,680
Speaker 3: if you can't play him, you can't play him. And

855
00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:36,960
Speaker 3: that means John Collins and more Cidique Bay and guys

856
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:40,640
Speaker 3: that can at least maybe shoot with the Celtics. Bigs

857
00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:42,960
Speaker 3: like Horford, who's like the best three point shooter in

858
00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:43,600
Speaker 3: the damn League.

859
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:49,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, Atlanta pedigree as well, so he's not going to

860
00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:51,480
Speaker 4: be scared when he's down here in the Fortress. Got

861
00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:54,520
Speaker 4: the second lottest applause actually for the Celtics. I was

862
00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:57,520
Speaker 4: surprised Jaalen Brown got the most applause. He's an Atlanta

863
00:40:57,520 --> 00:41:00,040
Speaker 4: guy as well. But yeah, I'm with y'all guys. I

864
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:02,360
Speaker 4: think John Collins is an X factor. He can't just

865
00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:04,200
Speaker 4: be standing in the corner if they go small, like,

866
00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:06,000
Speaker 4: he's got to try and draw files. He's got to

867
00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:08,200
Speaker 4: try and be in the lane a little bit. Sadique

868
00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:10,759
Speaker 4: Bay huge X factor here, thirty six percent career three

869
00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:13,640
Speaker 4: point shooter, somehow shoots fifty percent in twelve career games.

870
00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:16,600
Speaker 4: Against the Celtics, Like he's just a Celtics killer, So

871
00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:19,640
Speaker 4: if he has a hot series, that definitely helps. And

872
00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:21,480
Speaker 4: then from the Celtics side, I am going to be

873
00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:23,920
Speaker 4: ceing if Derek White wants to shoot the ball and

874
00:41:24,080 --> 00:41:26,799
Speaker 4: can shoot the ball, probably more of a concern long term.

875
00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:29,520
Speaker 4: But he was thirty one percent from three in the

876
00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:33,120
Speaker 4: playoffs last season and at times became unplayable.

877
00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:35,200
Speaker 2: So that's a question mark.

878
00:41:35,239 --> 00:41:38,319
Speaker 4: And I suppose Grant Williams is also a question mark

879
00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:41,040
Speaker 4: down season, and if the Celtics are going small, he's

880
00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:43,200
Speaker 4: going to get some three point looks. Knocked him down

881
00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:45,160
Speaker 4: against the Bucks last season. Let's see if he does it.

882
00:41:45,280 --> 00:41:47,320
Speaker 3: I love like when we get into these like previews

883
00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:49,560
Speaker 3: and then ultimately our predictions, like you know, we're trying

884
00:41:49,600 --> 00:41:51,640
Speaker 3: to find these guys that are going to make a

885
00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:53,279
Speaker 3: difference in a quarter or a half, like we're talking

886
00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:55,640
Speaker 3: about six seventh to eighth man sometimes but like we

887
00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:58,680
Speaker 3: do sometimes just gloss over the fact. Yeah, Celtics have

888
00:41:58,719 --> 00:42:02,600
Speaker 3: Tatum and Brown, that's basically sixty points in their sleep.

889
00:42:02,719 --> 00:42:04,839
Speaker 3: And then can Tray and John Day Murray as their

890
00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:07,600
Speaker 3: two guys, can they match them? You know, can they

891
00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:10,160
Speaker 3: have at least four out of seven games where they're

892
00:42:10,320 --> 00:42:13,520
Speaker 3: like the better or at least equivalent duel on that night. Unlikely.

893
00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:15,200
Speaker 3: Can they do it a couple of games? Maybe? But

894
00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:17,799
Speaker 3: like that, like all these things we're talking about, it's

895
00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:19,480
Speaker 3: like Jesus, how the hell do you stop Tatum and

896
00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:20,560
Speaker 3: then Brown?

897
00:42:21,040 --> 00:42:23,200
Speaker 2: They don't have the matches. No, that's that's the problem.

898
00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:26,200
Speaker 2: Hunter and Murray. Murray's just too small. That's problem.

899
00:42:26,680 --> 00:42:29,080
Speaker 3: Prediction time. Who do you got, Celtics Hawks? How many games?

900
00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:29,239
Speaker 4: Well?

901
00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:32,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, sticking with that, the Trey Young and Johntay Murray

902
00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:34,600
Speaker 2: have to outscore the Celtics bench as much as the

903
00:42:34,640 --> 00:42:36,880
Speaker 2: Celtics wings are outscoring the Hawks wings. And I just

904
00:42:36,960 --> 00:42:39,960
Speaker 2: don't see that happening. The Celtics cards are just too good,

905
00:42:40,080 --> 00:42:44,320
Speaker 2: too deep. I got the Celtics in six, and I

906
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:47,719
Speaker 2: think that's that's reasonable. I say the Hawks are playing well,

907
00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:51,440
Speaker 2: even despite you can just say it's one game, but

908
00:42:51,560 --> 00:42:53,600
Speaker 2: before that they were playing well. They're five and two

909
00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:56,799
Speaker 2: in their last seven. It was real. They were playing deep.

910
00:42:57,239 --> 00:42:59,239
Speaker 2: And I know the Celtics are extremely deep, but the

911
00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:01,439
Speaker 2: Hawks are bringing guys off the bench. We haven't mentioned

912
00:43:01,520 --> 00:43:03,239
Speaker 2: Jalen Johnson, who I'm sure is going to play in

913
00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:07,360
Speaker 2: this athletic type guy. They have enough. They have guys

914
00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:09,960
Speaker 2: to roll out there, but it ain't enough.

915
00:43:10,080 --> 00:43:11,800
Speaker 3: Okay, Celtics and six, who do you go?

916
00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:13,120
Speaker 2: Yeah?

917
00:43:13,480 --> 00:43:16,040
Speaker 4: Unfortunately, I think I'm Celtics in six as well. Like

918
00:43:16,120 --> 00:43:18,640
Speaker 4: you mentioned, this is the Zaza Pachulia series. It would

919
00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:20,840
Speaker 4: be great if this is going to a game seven, baby,

920
00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:23,440
Speaker 4: But for as foolish that the Celtics can be as

921
00:43:23,520 --> 00:43:25,480
Speaker 4: streaky as they can be with their three point shooting,

922
00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:29,520
Speaker 4: it probably evens out over the course of time. So yeah,

923
00:43:29,640 --> 00:43:30,399
Speaker 4: Celtics and six.

924
00:43:31,560 --> 00:43:34,160
Speaker 3: I believe we have ourselves a gentleman sweep on our

925
00:43:34,200 --> 00:43:34,719
Speaker 3: hands here.

926
00:43:34,960 --> 00:43:35,280
Speaker 2: Geez.

927
00:43:35,360 --> 00:43:39,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll take the Celtics in five and the gentleman's

928
00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:41,920
Speaker 3: sweep for those that don't know, we define it as

929
00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:45,040
Speaker 3: you win the first three games and then as a gentleman,

930
00:43:45,680 --> 00:43:49,840
Speaker 3: give the fourth game at home to the team losing

931
00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:52,120
Speaker 3: in the series, and then you take care of business

932
00:43:52,200 --> 00:43:54,600
Speaker 3: in five. I could see that happening here, hopefully not,

933
00:43:54,680 --> 00:43:56,680
Speaker 3: because I love when the road team takes one of

934
00:43:56,680 --> 00:43:57,880
Speaker 3: the first two games and it feels like you have

935
00:43:57,920 --> 00:44:00,839
Speaker 3: a series immediately. I'll be in Boston hopefully for Game two.

936
00:44:01,640 --> 00:44:04,239
Speaker 3: With some Hawks fans, so maybe that one's entertaining. But

937
00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:07,280
Speaker 3: Bean Town boys a little too much here for Atlanta,

938
00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:09,279
Speaker 3: And I do think we might get caught up at times.

939
00:44:09,320 --> 00:44:10,840
Speaker 3: You're right the end of the season in style, but

940
00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:13,640
Speaker 3: this is a very mid Atlanta Hawks team and like

941
00:44:13,719 --> 00:44:15,680
Speaker 3: we get caught up in like, Man, they just crushed

942
00:44:15,719 --> 00:44:18,560
Speaker 3: the Miami they looked awesome. It's like now they're playing

943
00:44:18,600 --> 00:44:20,960
Speaker 3: the Boston Celtics, So I'll go Celtics in five. And

944
00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:23,319
Speaker 3: a little tip of the cap to Schumann for this stat.

945
00:44:23,640 --> 00:44:26,120
Speaker 3: We showed you that graphic Celtics ranking second in both

946
00:44:26,200 --> 00:44:29,160
Speaker 3: offensive and defensive efficiency in the regular season. Just the

947
00:44:29,320 --> 00:44:33,239
Speaker 3: third team in the last twenty seven seasons to be

948
00:44:33,360 --> 00:44:37,160
Speaker 3: top two on both sides of the floor. That's since

949
00:44:37,200 --> 00:44:39,080
Speaker 3: we've had like the play by play data to do

950
00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:42,960
Speaker 3: it twenty seven seasons. The other two fourteen to fifteen Warriors,

951
00:44:43,040 --> 00:44:46,399
Speaker 3: yeh won the CHIP. Sixteen seventeen Warriors won the CHIP.

952
00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:49,359
Speaker 3: I guess I'm like, I was shocked by that top

953
00:44:49,440 --> 00:44:50,879
Speaker 3: two on both sides of the ball. That's a damn

954
00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:51,359
Speaker 3: good team.

955
00:44:51,680 --> 00:44:53,880
Speaker 4: And maybe it's weird because they're not the number one

956
00:44:53,880 --> 00:44:56,960
Speaker 4: team in the Eastern Conference. Yeah, I mean, those Warriors

957
00:44:57,040 --> 00:44:59,120
Speaker 4: teams had the MVP and Defensive Player of the Year.

958
00:44:59,239 --> 00:45:02,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, that helps, all right, Celtics and five for me

959
00:45:02,280 --> 00:45:05,040
Speaker 3: Celtics in six for these two. Streme team is saying

960
00:45:05,040 --> 00:45:07,160
Speaker 3: we're being too nice. Yeah, maybe we're being a little

961
00:45:07,160 --> 00:45:07,760
Speaker 3: bit too nice.

962
00:45:07,600 --> 00:45:08,200
Speaker 4: To the Hawks here.

963
00:45:08,239 --> 00:45:09,280
Speaker 3: I'm giving them these games.

964
00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:14,000
Speaker 2: Maybe, so we're giving them one extra game. Okay. I

965
00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:16,719
Speaker 2: guess the stream teamers think that the Celtics could very

966
00:45:16,760 --> 00:45:17,200
Speaker 2: well sweep.

967
00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:20,799
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's definitely impos it's possible. They're a good team.

968
00:45:20,800 --> 00:45:23,520
Speaker 3: They're a good team. Let's hear from everybody in the comments.

969
00:45:23,760 --> 00:45:27,200
Speaker 3: Who do you have? How many games Celtics Hawks. Let's

970
00:45:27,239 --> 00:45:31,239
Speaker 3: move over to the Los Angeles Lakers going in to

971
00:45:31,320 --> 00:45:35,160
Speaker 3: play the Memphis Grizzlies. Lakers turned around a disappointing season.

972
00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:37,919
Speaker 3: They knocked off the Wolves in an overtime rock fight

973
00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:40,719
Speaker 3: to earn that number seven seed in the West. So

974
00:45:40,840 --> 00:45:43,840
Speaker 3: now we got Lebron and Anthony Davison co meeting up

975
00:45:43,880 --> 00:45:45,759
Speaker 3: with John Moran and the Grizzlies in that two to

976
00:45:45,800 --> 00:45:51,280
Speaker 3: seven matchup that already has some notable bad blood between

977
00:45:51,360 --> 00:45:55,400
Speaker 3: these two teams. Uh can't wait for Dylan Brooks to

978
00:45:55,440 --> 00:45:57,399
Speaker 3: go against the Lakers and to hear what he says

979
00:45:57,480 --> 00:46:00,319
Speaker 3: after every game. But what's one thing to watch tray?

980
00:46:00,400 --> 00:46:02,560
Speaker 3: You get to start it on this one Lakers grizz.

981
00:46:02,920 --> 00:46:06,000
Speaker 4: One column to watch skeets, and that's the personal fouls

982
00:46:06,239 --> 00:46:09,840
Speaker 4: column next to Jaron Jackson Junior's name, because that is

983
00:46:10,239 --> 00:46:14,279
Speaker 4: going to be key for the Grizzlies. Jaren staying on

984
00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:17,439
Speaker 4: the court. We know Lebron and ad live in the lane.

985
00:46:17,520 --> 00:46:20,600
Speaker 4: The Lakers are a team that has drawn a ton

986
00:46:20,680 --> 00:46:24,480
Speaker 4: of fouls lately, so many free throws. Austin Reeves has

987
00:46:24,560 --> 00:46:27,520
Speaker 4: had like ten free throw games. They're gonna that's them

988
00:46:27,680 --> 00:46:30,080
Speaker 4: for the Lakers, is getting in the lane, scoring points

989
00:46:30,120 --> 00:46:34,520
Speaker 4: in the paint. No Steven Adams, no Brandon Clark. Xavier

990
00:46:34,560 --> 00:46:37,319
Speaker 4: Tillman's done a solid job as the spot starter here,

991
00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:40,120
Speaker 4: but that's gonna be a guy that the Lakers are

992
00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:42,520
Speaker 4: trying to get into draw some fowls on as well.

993
00:46:42,920 --> 00:46:45,440
Speaker 4: And then Jared Jackson Junior. He's so important defensively, but

994
00:46:46,160 --> 00:46:49,040
Speaker 4: the way he's played offensively when jaw was out during

995
00:46:49,120 --> 00:46:51,600
Speaker 4: the second half of this season really open things up

996
00:46:51,960 --> 00:46:54,239
Speaker 4: for the Grizzlies. If he's not able to stay on

997
00:46:54,280 --> 00:46:56,839
Speaker 4: the court, it's a huge problem defensively and it becomes

998
00:46:56,880 --> 00:46:59,400
Speaker 4: a big problem for them offensively as well. They need

999
00:46:59,520 --> 00:47:02,360
Speaker 4: him to play. I mean, they needn't play thirty minutes

1000
00:47:02,360 --> 00:47:02,800
Speaker 4: a game.

1001
00:47:03,239 --> 00:47:03,840
Speaker 2: To start with.

1002
00:47:04,080 --> 00:47:08,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, forty would be more more acceptable in a playoff scenario,

1003
00:47:08,320 --> 00:47:11,080
Speaker 4: but let's start with sticking to thirty at least, because

1004
00:47:11,400 --> 00:47:13,520
Speaker 4: if he's getting to four and five fouls early in

1005
00:47:13,560 --> 00:47:16,040
Speaker 4: the third and fourth quarter, it's not good for Memphis.

1006
00:47:16,160 --> 00:47:18,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, and he is one of like the rare defenders

1007
00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:20,839
Speaker 3: in this league, Jared Jackson Junior is that can sort

1008
00:47:20,880 --> 00:47:23,840
Speaker 3: of match ad physically like size and strength and obviously

1009
00:47:23,920 --> 00:47:25,600
Speaker 3: what he brings on the defensive end and how he's

1010
00:47:25,600 --> 00:47:29,319
Speaker 3: been playing offensively too. But you got to be out there.

1011
00:47:29,480 --> 00:47:30,560
Speaker 2: You got to play out there.

1012
00:47:30,640 --> 00:47:32,640
Speaker 3: You can't foul out and they're gonna put pressure on him.

1013
00:47:32,760 --> 00:47:35,440
Speaker 3: I also have that in my notes, like TK, what

1014
00:47:35,480 --> 00:47:36,279
Speaker 3: do you have though tests.

1015
00:47:36,400 --> 00:47:39,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's going to be the most important thing really

1016
00:47:40,080 --> 00:47:43,799
Speaker 2: is can he stay on the floor. And a lot

1017
00:47:43,840 --> 00:47:46,440
Speaker 2: of expectations because Trey brought up the other side of

1018
00:47:46,480 --> 00:47:48,800
Speaker 2: the floor. Maybe it was a bit of a blessing

1019
00:47:48,840 --> 00:47:50,560
Speaker 2: with John Moran out that Jared Jackson Junior had to

1020
00:47:50,640 --> 00:47:52,920
Speaker 2: do more and he realized that I can be the

1021
00:47:52,960 --> 00:47:54,759
Speaker 2: second option because he's going to be important in the

1022
00:47:54,760 --> 00:47:57,600
Speaker 2: fourth quarters when it comes down to it offensively. But

1023
00:47:57,680 --> 00:47:59,120
Speaker 2: can he stay on the floor. Well, I think that

1024
00:47:59,239 --> 00:48:02,440
Speaker 2: the trickle down of how that happens is Xavier Tillman

1025
00:48:02,480 --> 00:48:04,960
Speaker 2: has to be really, really good against Anthony Davis. That

1026
00:48:05,160 --> 00:48:09,360
Speaker 2: big body is actually pretty good against AD. He's shorter

1027
00:48:09,480 --> 00:48:12,520
Speaker 2: than AD, but he's long and he's got that low

1028
00:48:12,600 --> 00:48:15,440
Speaker 2: center of gravity ready to stick with Anthony Davis. Do

1029
00:48:15,520 --> 00:48:19,279
Speaker 2: you like numbers? Here are some numbers. AD shooting only

1030
00:48:19,360 --> 00:48:25,520
Speaker 2: thirty six percent against Tilman, specifically second spectrum, and Tilman

1031
00:48:25,600 --> 00:48:28,840
Speaker 2: pushes him out. That lower body strength is important. AD's

1032
00:48:28,920 --> 00:48:31,279
Speaker 2: I'll start to settle for jump a little bit. Yeah, yeah,

1033
00:48:31,320 --> 00:48:35,120
Speaker 2: because his shot distance is almost thirteen feet when playing

1034
00:48:35,120 --> 00:48:38,120
Speaker 2: against Tilman corn a second spectrum. SERI it so great

1035
00:48:38,239 --> 00:48:40,680
Speaker 2: breakdown on the ringer of that matchup and of this

1036
00:48:41,080 --> 00:48:43,640
Speaker 2: matchup in general, where we got so much juice, so

1037
00:48:43,800 --> 00:48:46,239
Speaker 2: much bad blood. As you said, well the Grizzlies come

1038
00:48:46,280 --> 00:48:50,560
Speaker 2: out dancing to Taylor Swift instead to some bad blood,

1039
00:48:50,880 --> 00:48:53,520
Speaker 2: And thought about that. Yeah, I mean neither, I mean

1040
00:48:54,440 --> 00:48:56,800
Speaker 2: until you said bad blood. I mean you dropped the

1041
00:48:58,120 --> 00:49:02,960
Speaker 2: rock set reference. Yes, your day current reference, Let's drop

1042
00:49:03,040 --> 00:49:03,880
Speaker 2: the Taylor swift.

1043
00:49:04,520 --> 00:49:05,600
Speaker 3: Listen to your heart test.

1044
00:49:06,160 --> 00:49:08,200
Speaker 2: I'm gonna listen to my heart. I do think Xavier

1045
00:49:08,280 --> 00:49:12,520
Speaker 2: Tillman is super important in this series, especially because Adams

1046
00:49:12,600 --> 00:49:14,719
Speaker 2: is out, because Brandon Clark is who the heck is

1047
00:49:14,760 --> 00:49:17,359
Speaker 2: in this rotation. Afterwards, Santiel Dama comes in and then

1048
00:49:17,400 --> 00:49:21,080
Speaker 2: they get Dany tiny, but Xavier is going to start

1049
00:49:21,160 --> 00:49:24,640
Speaker 2: on ad and hopefully keep him away from Jaron Jackson

1050
00:49:24,680 --> 00:49:25,840
Speaker 2: Junior as much as possible.

1051
00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:28,480
Speaker 3: Do you think the Grizzlies are being like completely overlooked

1052
00:49:29,040 --> 00:49:31,840
Speaker 3: by like casual fans and maybe even NBA fans with

1053
00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:34,680
Speaker 3: what happened with Jah Moran during the season, injuries and

1054
00:49:34,760 --> 00:49:37,640
Speaker 3: play now drawing the Lakers, who are playing, you know,

1055
00:49:38,120 --> 00:49:40,319
Speaker 3: the best basketball in the West since the All Star Break,

1056
00:49:40,480 --> 00:49:44,000
Speaker 3: Like it feels like this is a two seven matchup,

1057
00:49:44,040 --> 00:49:45,920
Speaker 3: but the Lakers are the two seed and the Grizzlies

1058
00:49:45,960 --> 00:49:48,080
Speaker 3: are a seventh seed, where it's not obviously.

1059
00:49:48,440 --> 00:49:49,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're probably right.

1060
00:49:49,680 --> 00:49:52,759
Speaker 4: I mean the Grizzlies kind of as an on court

1061
00:49:52,960 --> 00:49:56,080
Speaker 4: product have been a little bit overshadowed this season, certainly

1062
00:49:56,120 --> 00:49:58,359
Speaker 4: by what happened with jaw off the court. But they've

1063
00:49:58,360 --> 00:49:59,920
Speaker 4: had so many injuries this year that it kind of

1064
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:04,160
Speaker 4: feels like they've taken a step back as a contender.

1065
00:50:04,360 --> 00:50:06,759
Speaker 4: And like you're saying, we're looking at the bottom half

1066
00:50:06,800 --> 00:50:08,680
Speaker 4: of the Western Conference bracket much more than we're looking

1067
00:50:08,680 --> 00:50:11,040
Speaker 4: at the top half so far. But I think this

1068
00:50:11,200 --> 00:50:13,880
Speaker 4: can be a okay matchup for the Grizzlies. It's not

1069
00:50:13,960 --> 00:50:16,640
Speaker 4: like the Lakers are really gonna be beating them every

1070
00:50:16,680 --> 00:50:19,480
Speaker 4: single night from outside, So I think Desmond Baines shooting

1071
00:50:19,520 --> 00:50:22,680
Speaker 4: becomes important. Luke Canard has been on fire since joining

1072
00:50:22,719 --> 00:50:24,920
Speaker 4: the Grizzlies. His shooting is going to be important as well.

1073
00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:27,520
Speaker 4: Dylan Brooks and then the Lakers turned the ball over

1074
00:50:27,680 --> 00:50:30,839
Speaker 4: a ton. They had a ton of stupid, just dumb

1075
00:50:30,920 --> 00:50:34,440
Speaker 4: turnovers against the Timberwolves, Lebron included. And that's exactly what

1076
00:50:34,520 --> 00:50:37,360
Speaker 4: the Grizzlies want to do. Force turnovers, get out and transition.

1077
00:50:37,440 --> 00:50:41,560
Speaker 4: The Lakers never get back on defense in transition. So

1078
00:50:42,160 --> 00:50:44,600
Speaker 4: I think if the Grizzlies are able to turn over LA,

1079
00:50:44,880 --> 00:50:47,280
Speaker 4: they will be able to score pretty effectively.

1080
00:50:47,440 --> 00:50:49,359
Speaker 3: And it's also like it's not like the Grizzlies are

1081
00:50:49,960 --> 00:50:52,440
Speaker 3: you know, like the Sacramento Kings where they haven't been

1082
00:50:52,520 --> 00:50:54,200
Speaker 3: in the playoffs and they don't know what it's like

1083
00:50:54,400 --> 00:50:57,120
Speaker 3: and how the whistle is in these games, Like Grizzlies

1084
00:50:57,120 --> 00:50:59,759
Speaker 3: are like, they're like trying to do the progression thing here,

1085
00:50:59,840 --> 00:51:02,759
Speaker 3: right two years ago, you know, it's it's a lose

1086
00:51:02,800 --> 00:51:04,360
Speaker 3: in the first round. Next year it's to get to

1087
00:51:04,400 --> 00:51:06,520
Speaker 3: the Semis. And then it's like, you know, they've been

1088
00:51:06,600 --> 00:51:09,839
Speaker 3: in these games, They've obviously had big, big playoff series.

1089
00:51:09,920 --> 00:51:13,000
Speaker 3: You're already with the same coach and for the most part,

1090
00:51:13,040 --> 00:51:15,759
Speaker 3: the same sort of team. So they shouldn't be shook

1091
00:51:15,840 --> 00:51:16,200
Speaker 3: that way.

1092
00:51:16,480 --> 00:51:18,879
Speaker 2: Yeah. Right. I don't think they'll cower from the moment.

1093
00:51:19,080 --> 00:51:23,040
Speaker 2: I do think that the confidence that Dylan Brooks exudes

1094
00:51:23,120 --> 00:51:26,239
Speaker 2: all the time, I think it helps. It helps that

1095
00:51:26,360 --> 00:51:26,839
Speaker 2: locker room.

1096
00:51:27,320 --> 00:51:29,600
Speaker 3: Well, Dylan Brooks be tossed from a game in this series.

1097
00:51:30,120 --> 00:51:35,040
Speaker 2: Hmm, Well, you think he's learned enough. Okay, you think

1098
00:51:35,080 --> 00:51:37,640
Speaker 2: it will yeah? Yeah, I think the Shannon Sharp thing

1099
00:51:37,800 --> 00:51:40,520
Speaker 2: was enough to teach him to shut up enough. I

1100
00:51:40,600 --> 00:51:42,120
Speaker 2: know he doesn't shut up, but I'm stronger.

1101
00:51:42,360 --> 00:51:45,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, basically already guaranteed they're gonna knock off

1102
00:51:45,960 --> 00:51:46,440
Speaker 4: the Lakers.

1103
00:51:46,760 --> 00:51:48,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I think that's good. I think that takes

1104
00:51:48,520 --> 00:51:51,680
Speaker 2: pressure off John Morant to some degree. Yeah, and yeah,

1105
00:51:51,719 --> 00:51:53,560
Speaker 2: he said I wouldn't mind playing Lebrun in a seven

1106
00:51:53,600 --> 00:51:56,400
Speaker 2: game series his first time back in the playoffs since

1107
00:51:56,440 --> 00:51:59,239
Speaker 2: twenty twenty one. He's given us a history lesson. Knock

1108
00:51:59,320 --> 00:52:01,400
Speaker 2: him out right away. That'll test us good. They've got

1109
00:52:01,440 --> 00:52:03,399
Speaker 2: good pieces, good players. That'll be a good first round

1110
00:52:03,440 --> 00:52:05,520
Speaker 2: matchup for us. And you know, the extension of that

1111
00:52:05,680 --> 00:52:08,120
Speaker 2: was John Morant talking to ESPN earlier on in the

1112
00:52:08,160 --> 00:52:12,000
Speaker 2: season saying, the only thing that worries me is Boston.

1113
00:52:12,160 --> 00:52:14,320
Speaker 2: Nobody in the West, right, So, you know, is it

1114
00:52:14,400 --> 00:52:15,680
Speaker 2: over confidence.

1115
00:52:15,880 --> 00:52:17,160
Speaker 3: Maybe, but.

1116
00:52:19,080 --> 00:52:22,040
Speaker 2: They are getting overlooked to some nigger. I want to know.

1117
00:52:22,120 --> 00:52:23,440
Speaker 2: I want to know if they can run against this

1118
00:52:23,520 --> 00:52:27,200
Speaker 2: Lakers team. The Lakers are bad at getting back in transition,

1119
00:52:27,800 --> 00:52:30,440
Speaker 2: allowed the fourth most in the regular season twenty three

1120
00:52:30,480 --> 00:52:34,480
Speaker 2: point four points in transition. But they did pick up

1121
00:52:34,520 --> 00:52:36,560
Speaker 2: the pace. They got more athletics since the trade. Yeah,

1122
00:52:36,800 --> 00:52:39,720
Speaker 2: they were better their tenth in pace since the trade.

1123
00:52:41,040 --> 00:52:44,640
Speaker 2: But the Grizzlies absolutely need to go fast because their

1124
00:52:44,640 --> 00:52:47,120
Speaker 2: half court offense is lacking a little bit. Jared Jackson

1125
00:52:47,200 --> 00:52:49,239
Speaker 2: Junior's got to pick it up in that regard, but

1126
00:52:49,480 --> 00:52:51,640
Speaker 2: they do a lot of their work in the transition,

1127
00:52:51,760 --> 00:52:54,680
Speaker 2: and that's that goes away sort of in the playoffs.

1128
00:52:54,800 --> 00:52:57,359
Speaker 2: If you remember, I went back, just like my man

1129
00:52:57,440 --> 00:52:59,360
Speaker 2: Dylan Brooks was going back. I went back to the bubble,

1130
00:53:00,040 --> 00:53:03,320
Speaker 2: Russell Westbrook, James Harden. It was like Eric Gordon that

1131
00:53:03,480 --> 00:53:07,680
Speaker 2: Rockets versus Lake Lakers series. Rockets tried to run outrun

1132
00:53:07,800 --> 00:53:10,040
Speaker 2: the Lakers because Lakers are kind of you know, they're

1133
00:53:10,080 --> 00:53:13,080
Speaker 2: the Lakers. It didn't work. I mean, it didn't really work.

1134
00:53:13,120 --> 00:53:16,760
Speaker 2: The Lakers kind of just figured it out. The Grizzlies

1135
00:53:16,760 --> 00:53:20,400
Speaker 2: are a little bit more athletic, but I think the

1136
00:53:20,480 --> 00:53:22,520
Speaker 2: Lakers will have enough guys to get back.

1137
00:53:22,560 --> 00:53:24,799
Speaker 4: But anyways, it's the Lakers team had a lot better

1138
00:53:24,840 --> 00:53:28,480
Speaker 4: defenders than this Lakers team does even today, because there

1139
00:53:28,560 --> 00:53:30,439
Speaker 4: is nobody on the Lakers who can stick with John Moran,

1140
00:53:30,600 --> 00:53:32,360
Speaker 4: and I think that that's gonna be that's gonna be

1141
00:53:32,360 --> 00:53:34,640
Speaker 4: a huge problem. Memphis scores a ton in the lane,

1142
00:53:34,760 --> 00:53:37,000
Speaker 4: just like LA does as well. So Davis has got

1143
00:53:37,080 --> 00:53:39,160
Speaker 4: to watch his files too, because when you and Gabriel

1144
00:53:39,200 --> 00:53:41,480
Speaker 4: aink the answer, we saw that and they're playing game

1145
00:53:41,560 --> 00:53:45,279
Speaker 4: against Minnesota, so yeah, I think Joss being a little

1146
00:53:45,280 --> 00:53:47,640
Speaker 4: overlooked in this series because he should be. He should

1147
00:53:47,640 --> 00:53:48,760
Speaker 4: be thirty a game easily.

1148
00:53:48,800 --> 00:53:51,799
Speaker 3: Who's going to get that that main assignment Vanderbilt.

1149
00:53:51,800 --> 00:53:55,880
Speaker 4: I think, so, yeah, that's what he gotta be. D'Angelo Russell. No,

1150
00:53:56,200 --> 00:53:56,759
Speaker 4: that's for sure.

1151
00:53:56,880 --> 00:54:00,760
Speaker 2: No, yeah, probably they are third in defense since the trade,

1152
00:54:02,080 --> 00:54:04,719
Speaker 2: so that is something they had a paper thin schedules,

1153
00:54:04,719 --> 00:54:08,279
Speaker 2: and no doubt the Lakers did. And yeah, John Rant,

1154
00:54:08,760 --> 00:54:11,160
Speaker 2: he is one hundred percent being overlooked, and I think

1155
00:54:11,200 --> 00:54:13,000
Speaker 2: it's good that everybody else is talking and he's just

1156
00:54:13,080 --> 00:54:13,839
Speaker 2: gonna go out and play.

1157
00:54:14,600 --> 00:54:16,720
Speaker 3: I doubt will be taking Jommrant for an X factor,

1158
00:54:16,800 --> 00:54:19,399
Speaker 3: But who else do you have on your list there? TK?

1159
00:54:20,520 --> 00:54:25,200
Speaker 4: My X factors are the shooters for the Grizzlies, Bain, Canard,

1160
00:54:25,440 --> 00:54:27,680
Speaker 4: and Brooks. They got to get some production from those

1161
00:54:27,719 --> 00:54:30,319
Speaker 4: guys from the outside. I think Bain is the guy

1162
00:54:30,960 --> 00:54:33,600
Speaker 4: who really needs to step up for Memphis here.

1163
00:54:34,800 --> 00:54:35,839
Speaker 2: John will do his thing.

1164
00:54:36,280 --> 00:54:38,440
Speaker 4: Jared Jackson Junior, we've already talked about, is a big

1165
00:54:38,560 --> 00:54:40,799
Speaker 4: question mark whether he'll be able to contribute on both

1166
00:54:40,920 --> 00:54:43,160
Speaker 4: ends of the court. But Ban can be a secondary

1167
00:54:43,200 --> 00:54:45,319
Speaker 4: shooter and there will be times when the Lakers want

1168
00:54:45,320 --> 00:54:47,080
Speaker 4: to get the ball out of jaws hands and somebody

1169
00:54:47,080 --> 00:54:49,440
Speaker 4: else has to make a play. I think his playmaking

1170
00:54:49,480 --> 00:54:51,680
Speaker 4: has taken a step forward this season. He's obviously a

1171
00:54:51,800 --> 00:54:54,520
Speaker 4: knockdown shooter from three, so big bang games would be big.

1172
00:54:54,719 --> 00:54:54,919
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1173
00:54:55,080 --> 00:54:58,520
Speaker 3: He had a great first round series against the Wolves

1174
00:54:58,600 --> 00:55:00,719
Speaker 3: last year. Ban was awesome if you remember, and then

1175
00:55:01,080 --> 00:55:03,440
Speaker 3: he sort of disappeared in like three or four games

1176
00:55:03,480 --> 00:55:05,200
Speaker 3: against the Warriors. I think he sort of picked it

1177
00:55:05,320 --> 00:55:07,799
Speaker 3: up right at the end of that series. But they

1178
00:55:07,880 --> 00:55:10,399
Speaker 3: need Baine to be pretty special there splashing away from three.

1179
00:55:10,440 --> 00:55:11,399
Speaker 3: Who you got as an next factor?

1180
00:55:11,480 --> 00:55:14,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm totally with you on the Grizzly shooters when

1181
00:55:14,560 --> 00:55:17,040
Speaker 2: it comes down to crunch time, obviously Morent and Triple J.

1182
00:55:17,160 --> 00:55:19,200
Speaker 2: Hopefully we'll be out there with Dylan Brooks and Bain.

1183
00:55:19,520 --> 00:55:23,160
Speaker 2: The fifth guy if it's Lukenard, who can bury triple

1184
00:55:23,160 --> 00:55:26,640
Speaker 2: after triple after triple has got to be himself. But

1185
00:55:26,760 --> 00:55:28,839
Speaker 2: will he be out there? Will the Lakers allow him

1186
00:55:28,840 --> 00:55:31,440
Speaker 2: to be out there? Will they go after him defensively?

1187
00:55:31,920 --> 00:55:33,680
Speaker 2: That could happen. He could get played off the floor.

1188
00:55:33,760 --> 00:55:36,000
Speaker 2: So other guys, I'm not sure if Zi or Williams

1189
00:55:36,080 --> 00:55:39,000
Speaker 2: is ready. Tyas Jones may step in just to be

1190
00:55:39,040 --> 00:55:42,120
Speaker 2: able to hit some shots. But if Lukenard can play,

1191
00:55:42,160 --> 00:55:44,160
Speaker 2: that is big. We said Al Horford's the best shooter.

1192
00:55:44,239 --> 00:55:45,960
Speaker 2: That guy is the best shooter. Lukenard's the best shooter

1193
00:55:46,680 --> 00:55:49,000
Speaker 2: in basketball when he's on the floor. Can he do it?

1194
00:55:50,000 --> 00:55:52,200
Speaker 2: Can he be out there? That's the biggest question because

1195
00:55:52,200 --> 00:55:55,279
Speaker 2: he's he's been really good since coming over. There's a

1196
00:55:55,360 --> 00:55:56,400
Speaker 2: reason that they traded for him.

1197
00:55:56,480 --> 00:55:58,880
Speaker 3: I said this after the Lakers beat the Wolves there

1198
00:55:58,960 --> 00:56:01,719
Speaker 3: to get into the playoffs. The X factor. This is

1199
00:56:01,760 --> 00:56:03,759
Speaker 3: me definitely cheating, but it's like, who is going to

1200
00:56:03,800 --> 00:56:05,719
Speaker 3: be the third Laker on any given night to step

1201
00:56:05,840 --> 00:56:08,080
Speaker 3: up and help out Lebron and Ad. It was Shrewder

1202
00:56:08,360 --> 00:56:10,640
Speaker 3: in that game versus Minnesota with twenty one off the bench,

1203
00:56:11,200 --> 00:56:13,799
Speaker 3: you know, basically saving D'Angel Russell who had a garbage game.

1204
00:56:13,960 --> 00:56:16,840
Speaker 3: But D'Angel Russell could have a monster game. Could be Reeves,

1205
00:56:17,400 --> 00:56:20,680
Speaker 3: could be Beasley hitting six threes. You know, Vanderbilt, He's

1206
00:56:20,680 --> 00:56:23,040
Speaker 3: got to play his defense. Can he contribute at all offensively?

1207
00:56:23,120 --> 00:56:25,279
Speaker 3: I think it's gonna be just finding that third sort

1208
00:56:25,320 --> 00:56:27,680
Speaker 3: of star on that night to help out your Ad

1209
00:56:27,800 --> 00:56:30,080
Speaker 3: and Lebron, who are going to get theirs usually as

1210
00:56:30,120 --> 00:56:32,080
Speaker 3: long as they're not injured. So I'll be watching for that.

1211
00:56:32,200 --> 00:56:34,840
Speaker 3: Who's gonna step up? Lakers Grizzlies predictions?

1212
00:56:36,080 --> 00:56:36,480
Speaker 2: This one?

1213
00:56:37,640 --> 00:56:39,520
Speaker 4: Could we disagree on it. I can't wait to see

1214
00:56:39,520 --> 00:56:43,359
Speaker 4: where everybody goes. Trey, you go first, man, I think

1215
00:56:43,400 --> 00:56:46,560
Speaker 4: it's a very very tough call. Tuck in your tank tops,

1216
00:56:46,640 --> 00:56:48,640
Speaker 4: get your cardigans out. It's gonna be a fun one.

1217
00:56:48,920 --> 00:56:52,360
Speaker 4: These Anthony Davis numbers are crazy to me, actually, because.

1218
00:56:52,239 --> 00:56:52,800
Speaker 3: You released that.

1219
00:56:52,920 --> 00:56:55,800
Speaker 4: A pretty solid performance from Xavier Tillman, it seems like

1220
00:56:55,840 --> 00:56:58,200
Speaker 4: against Anthony Davis. Then I go and look and Anthony

1221
00:56:58,280 --> 00:57:02,000
Speaker 4: Davis had a thirty, twenty two and nineteen, right, So

1222
00:57:02,920 --> 00:57:05,520
Speaker 4: what happened? I thought he was playing defense.

1223
00:57:06,760 --> 00:57:07,080
Speaker 3: I don't know.

1224
00:57:08,280 --> 00:57:11,440
Speaker 4: I don't know. Look, you see Lebron and Ad you

1225
00:57:11,520 --> 00:57:14,359
Speaker 4: think maybe the Lakers should be favored. But I'm going

1226
00:57:14,400 --> 00:57:18,080
Speaker 4: with the Grizzlies in seven. Whoa, yeah, okay, not confident,

1227
00:57:18,320 --> 00:57:20,280
Speaker 4: not confident at all. But I'm going Grizzlies in seven.

1228
00:57:20,320 --> 00:57:20,560
Speaker 3: Okay.

1229
00:57:22,400 --> 00:57:24,840
Speaker 2: I think the Grizzlies are ready. I think they're ready

1230
00:57:24,880 --> 00:57:28,440
Speaker 2: for the moment. I got them in seven too. I

1231
00:57:28,560 --> 00:57:30,720
Speaker 2: think that's plenty of respect for the Lakers. To win

1232
00:57:30,800 --> 00:57:31,360
Speaker 2: three games.

1233
00:57:33,200 --> 00:57:35,680
Speaker 3: Oh Jesus, I had Grizzlies in seven two.

1234
00:57:35,720 --> 00:57:36,760
Speaker 2: But I'm throwing it out.

1235
00:57:37,280 --> 00:57:40,280
Speaker 3: I'm serving if you guys are taking it, give me

1236
00:57:40,360 --> 00:57:44,160
Speaker 3: Lakers in seven. Lebron on the road, in the Grindhouse,

1237
00:57:44,640 --> 00:57:47,160
Speaker 3: Dylan Brooks shooting five for twenty three in game seven,

1238
00:57:47,720 --> 00:57:50,320
Speaker 3: tapping him in the balls, getting kicked out, something like that.

1239
00:57:51,120 --> 00:57:52,680
Speaker 3: It's look, we're getting out here as we think this

1240
00:57:52,800 --> 00:57:56,320
Speaker 3: could be a very very tight series. I believe someone

1241
00:57:56,560 --> 00:57:59,320
Speaker 3: or two people or three people will be tossed at

1242
00:57:59,360 --> 00:58:01,280
Speaker 3: some point in this year because emotions will be running

1243
00:58:01,320 --> 00:58:03,600
Speaker 3: high and it should be fun. As I'll watch and

1244
00:58:03,720 --> 00:58:06,080
Speaker 3: break down here on the show. I'll go Lakers in

1245
00:58:06,160 --> 00:58:08,840
Speaker 3: seven because I don't. I can't. I can't have us

1246
00:58:08,840 --> 00:58:10,280
Speaker 3: all go on the same side, right.

1247
00:58:10,480 --> 00:58:10,600
Speaker 2: You know?

1248
00:58:10,800 --> 00:58:12,320
Speaker 3: It also feels like a coin flip when you get

1249
00:58:12,320 --> 00:58:14,600
Speaker 3: to a game seven. Sure, take Lebron on the road.

1250
00:58:14,640 --> 00:58:18,240
Speaker 3: Why not. Let's hear from you guys though, Grizzlies Lakers.

1251
00:58:19,160 --> 00:58:21,400
Speaker 3: You think the Lakers are gonna wax them? Some people do.

1252
00:58:21,920 --> 00:58:23,600
Speaker 3: Some people think the Grizzlies are gonna wax them, and

1253
00:58:23,640 --> 00:58:26,640
Speaker 3: the Lakers are completely overrated. Some of us, like all

1254
00:58:26,680 --> 00:58:28,480
Speaker 3: three of us, here think it's go win seven. Let's

1255
00:58:28,520 --> 00:58:31,320
Speaker 3: hear from you guys. Drop your predictions in the comments below.

1256
00:58:31,320 --> 00:58:33,640
Speaker 3: We're gonna take one more break and when we come back,

1257
00:58:34,120 --> 00:58:37,440
Speaker 3: tweet in the night, don't go anywhere. All right, back

1258
00:58:37,440 --> 00:58:39,560
Speaker 3: here in the classic Factory, Let's get to tweet of

1259
00:58:39,640 --> 00:58:47,400
Speaker 3: the night. Tweet O the night, Wow tweet. All right,

1260
00:58:47,480 --> 00:58:51,680
Speaker 3: little backstory before we get into the actual tweets. Spencer

1261
00:58:51,760 --> 00:58:55,840
Speaker 3: Dinwity Kyle Kuzma. You might remember they overlapped by a

1262
00:58:55,920 --> 00:58:59,280
Speaker 3: few months on the twenty twenty one twenty two Washington Wizards.

1263
00:58:59,320 --> 00:59:02,600
Speaker 3: Before dinn he was traded to Dallas. Then after the

1264
00:59:02,680 --> 00:59:07,200
Speaker 3: Mavericks lost to the Wizards this past January, Dinwitty said

1265
00:59:07,360 --> 00:59:09,920
Speaker 3: of his former team, quote, they're over there trying to

1266
00:59:09,960 --> 00:59:13,960
Speaker 3: get paid, not trying to play winning basketball. Okay, end quote.

1267
00:59:14,120 --> 00:59:17,640
Speaker 3: Kuzma obviously still on the Wizards, he fired back, tweeting,

1268
00:59:17,920 --> 00:59:20,720
Speaker 3: the funny thing is they don't play winning basketball. And

1269
00:59:20,760 --> 00:59:23,800
Speaker 3: then a bunch of emojis, including a clown emoji, the

1270
00:59:23,880 --> 00:59:26,120
Speaker 3: most disrespectful emoji you can put.

1271
00:59:26,040 --> 00:59:27,200
Speaker 2: On something that one hurts.

1272
00:59:27,240 --> 00:59:32,680
Speaker 3: That one definitely so months past. This was January. Okay,

1273
00:59:33,200 --> 00:59:38,800
Speaker 3: the beef cooled, just sat on a plate. That's right,

1274
00:59:39,080 --> 00:59:42,800
Speaker 3: get it to at least room temperature. But then this

1275
00:59:43,000 --> 00:59:47,520
Speaker 3: week Dinwitty appeared on the Run It Back Show, the

1276
00:59:47,600 --> 00:59:50,520
Speaker 3: podcast shout out to Michelle Beadle, shout out to Shams

1277
00:59:50,720 --> 00:59:54,840
Speaker 3: Chandler Parsons, and Banksy Banski.

1278
00:59:56,240 --> 00:59:56,600
Speaker 2: The Artist.

1279
00:59:58,120 --> 01:00:02,720
Speaker 3: On Run It Back, he he got re engaged into

1280
01:00:03,800 --> 01:00:06,480
Speaker 3: talking about Kyle Kuzma, and here's what Dinwoody said. He said,

1281
01:00:06,600 --> 01:00:08,880
Speaker 3: if we look at him and the way he approaches life,

1282
01:00:08,920 --> 01:00:10,960
Speaker 3: fame and all that stuff, we can see that his

1283
01:00:11,080 --> 01:00:13,680
Speaker 3: priorities tend to vary. That's why he dresses the way

1284
01:00:13,720 --> 01:00:16,640
Speaker 3: he does, approaches basketball, the way he does the comments

1285
01:00:16,720 --> 01:00:19,320
Speaker 3: he makes. You're probably not even a third star and

1286
01:00:19,360 --> 01:00:21,160
Speaker 3: a good team because if you were, the Lakers would

1287
01:00:21,160 --> 01:00:25,360
Speaker 3: have kept you. Jesus Dinwiddie sort of going in once

1288
01:00:25,400 --> 01:00:27,880
Speaker 3: again on Kuzma. Asked about it on the Run It

1289
01:00:27,920 --> 01:00:34,240
Speaker 3: Back podcast, but an inspired Kuzma took to Twitter pretty

1290
01:00:34,280 --> 01:00:36,800
Speaker 3: quickly and he had a thread, Guys, We're not gonna

1291
01:00:36,800 --> 01:00:40,080
Speaker 3: share every tweet, but the first three. First one okay,

1292
01:00:40,880 --> 01:00:44,640
Speaker 3: so since I'm so famous in quotations, he ats fan

1293
01:00:44,760 --> 01:00:48,920
Speaker 3: Duel TV, Run It Back and ats Dinwittie himself. Let

1294
01:00:49,080 --> 01:00:52,840
Speaker 3: me give you all some clout. Oh I'm usually unbothered,

1295
01:00:52,920 --> 01:00:55,000
Speaker 3: but things on the buy things on the internet. But

1296
01:00:55,160 --> 01:00:58,080
Speaker 3: I will not allow this delusional guy to continue to

1297
01:00:58,160 --> 01:01:00,360
Speaker 3: talk about my teammates and I. And then and here's

1298
01:01:00,360 --> 01:01:05,400
Speaker 3: a thread laughing emojis of course, first one insecurity is loud.

1299
01:01:06,600 --> 01:01:08,920
Speaker 3: The Wizards and I have so much real estate on

1300
01:01:09,160 --> 01:01:14,959
Speaker 3: Dinshitty Island. This guy got signed by a team sixty ms.

1301
01:01:15,200 --> 01:01:16,880
Speaker 2: What did he mean mill okay?

1302
01:01:17,800 --> 01:01:20,600
Speaker 3: Uh, and was traded before the following season was over.

1303
01:01:21,320 --> 01:01:24,280
Speaker 3: Next tweeting the thread, this is kus. What in the

1304
01:01:24,360 --> 01:01:26,800
Speaker 3: world have you won in this league? Oh? Well, you've

1305
01:01:26,800 --> 01:01:30,200
Speaker 3: been bouncing around like a basketball, my boy. More crying

1306
01:01:30,280 --> 01:01:34,200
Speaker 3: emojis and uh. And then then that was it. We'll

1307
01:01:34,200 --> 01:01:35,960
Speaker 3: call it there because there was like three, four, five,

1308
01:01:36,040 --> 01:01:40,280
Speaker 3: six more, a bunch of others, but we don't need

1309
01:01:40,320 --> 01:01:43,120
Speaker 3: to read them all. What did you think about this

1310
01:01:44,320 --> 01:01:48,000
Speaker 3: reignited here between Dinwity and Kuzma.

1311
01:01:49,880 --> 01:01:53,400
Speaker 2: Well, they go at each other a lot. At Kuzma

1312
01:01:53,480 --> 01:01:57,800
Speaker 2: has shown some restraint I think until this moment. Until

1313
01:01:57,840 --> 01:01:59,959
Speaker 2: this moment he said, I can't let him talk about

1314
01:02:00,080 --> 01:02:01,760
Speaker 2: out me and my team.

1315
01:02:02,480 --> 01:02:03,040
Speaker 3: That's enough.

1316
01:02:04,160 --> 01:02:06,760
Speaker 2: So I'm fine with this that's not It's not like

1317
01:02:06,800 --> 01:02:09,600
Speaker 2: they do it all the time. I mean it's it's happened, Yeah,

1318
01:02:10,120 --> 01:02:13,000
Speaker 2: it's happened, yeah twice this season, and this one resulted

1319
01:02:13,160 --> 01:02:18,680
Speaker 2: in a very well formatted threat. I'm pretty pretty happy

1320
01:02:18,760 --> 01:02:19,280
Speaker 2: with kus.

1321
01:02:19,400 --> 01:02:22,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, well formats. Some typos in there, for sure.

1322
01:02:22,280 --> 01:02:27,080
Speaker 2: Absolutely, Yes, he doesn't have Magic Johnson's writer sitting beside him.

1323
01:02:27,120 --> 01:02:29,720
Speaker 2: He did that himself. Yeah, the MS is it milliseconds?

1324
01:02:29,760 --> 01:02:30,760
Speaker 2: It's millions, I guess it.

1325
01:02:31,480 --> 01:02:35,240
Speaker 3: But well, a lot of NBA Twitter thought someone was

1326
01:02:35,280 --> 01:02:38,560
Speaker 3: a ghostwriter for these dim shitty island.

1327
01:02:38,320 --> 01:02:39,240
Speaker 2: Did City Island?

1328
01:02:39,560 --> 01:02:39,680
Speaker 4: You know?

1329
01:02:40,080 --> 01:02:41,080
Speaker 2: Is Kuzma can come up with?

1330
01:02:41,400 --> 01:02:44,400
Speaker 4: Of course he's been talking was a Kuzma invention, I do.

1331
01:02:44,600 --> 01:02:46,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, they've been talking trash about him in the locker

1332
01:02:46,920 --> 01:02:48,400
Speaker 2: room for months.

1333
01:02:48,640 --> 01:02:51,400
Speaker 4: I think they could have come up with shitty guaranteed

1334
01:02:51,480 --> 01:02:54,480
Speaker 4: after Spencer got tweeted or traded. That's what they called

1335
01:02:54,560 --> 01:02:57,280
Speaker 4: him in the locker room. Forty four games together.

1336
01:02:57,440 --> 01:02:59,320
Speaker 2: These guys totally hate each other.

1337
01:03:00,400 --> 01:03:04,240
Speaker 4: Ghostwriter wise, I think the part when Kuzma refers to

1338
01:03:04,360 --> 01:03:07,640
Speaker 4: the NETS record with Katie and Kyrie as thirty four

1339
01:03:07,720 --> 01:03:11,280
Speaker 4: wins before the trade and only eleven and thirteen after.

1340
01:03:11,200 --> 01:03:13,440
Speaker 2: The break or whatever it is said that to me,

1341
01:03:13,520 --> 01:03:14,840
Speaker 2: it was very ghost writery.

1342
01:03:14,920 --> 01:03:18,400
Speaker 4: But every time I like look back on this in

1343
01:03:18,520 --> 01:03:20,520
Speaker 4: the past twelve hours, there's like a new part of it.

1344
01:03:20,600 --> 01:03:22,960
Speaker 2: That's my favorite. First of all, it was a thread.

1345
01:03:23,120 --> 01:03:26,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, hilarious, kind of went a sixth tweet thread to

1346
01:03:26,880 --> 01:03:30,200
Speaker 4: talk about Spencer Dinwoody did shitty Island. Great line. The

1347
01:03:30,280 --> 01:03:31,880
Speaker 4: next one that caught my eye was when he called

1348
01:03:31,920 --> 01:03:32,479
Speaker 4: him my boy.

1349
01:03:32,760 --> 01:03:37,720
Speaker 3: Yeah basketball, my boy, my boy bounced.

1350
01:03:37,360 --> 01:03:40,120
Speaker 2: Around like a basketball. But today's skeets.

1351
01:03:40,160 --> 01:03:43,280
Speaker 4: The one that got me was just in the first

1352
01:03:43,560 --> 01:03:46,160
Speaker 4: tweet when he calls him this delusional guy.

1353
01:03:47,440 --> 01:03:50,200
Speaker 2: Pretty funny, this delusional guy.

1354
01:03:50,680 --> 01:03:53,480
Speaker 4: Oh Man Kuzma versus diadwitty.

1355
01:03:53,280 --> 01:03:55,800
Speaker 2: And then yeah, one of my other favorites. He went

1356
01:03:55,880 --> 01:03:59,240
Speaker 2: on to say the crypto market he called He said

1357
01:03:59,240 --> 01:04:01,520
Speaker 2: that Spencer won to get paid in crypto, the NBA

1358
01:04:01,560 --> 01:04:04,400
Speaker 2: didn't allow that and basically calling him out for crypto.

1359
01:04:04,920 --> 01:04:08,520
Speaker 3: Check the market, Yeah, check the markets, pal you dummy

1360
01:04:09,800 --> 01:04:10,840
Speaker 3: up yesterday though.

1361
01:04:12,920 --> 01:04:16,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, actually raged right, caring out.

1362
01:04:16,080 --> 01:04:19,320
Speaker 3: Like Kuzma had like some NFT shoes or something in

1363
01:04:19,400 --> 01:04:21,680
Speaker 3: the metaverse or I don't know, in web three, so

1364
01:04:21,840 --> 01:04:24,120
Speaker 3: I don't know, did when he could come back with that.

1365
01:04:24,440 --> 01:04:26,280
Speaker 3: It's incredible. Didn't When he's about to play in a

1366
01:04:26,320 --> 01:04:30,120
Speaker 3: playoff series as a number two options, He's like, got

1367
01:04:30,440 --> 01:04:32,959
Speaker 3: gotta get ready to try and guarden MAXI or something

1368
01:04:33,000 --> 01:04:36,520
Speaker 3: like that man series guy. And then Kusma's just waiting

1369
01:04:36,520 --> 01:04:38,600
Speaker 3: to get paid, which was one of the tweets too, right,

1370
01:04:38,760 --> 01:04:42,040
Speaker 3: he said he's getting the bag amazing.

1371
01:04:42,240 --> 01:04:44,200
Speaker 2: I'm not going to get paid crypto, that's for sure.

1372
01:04:44,920 --> 01:04:47,360
Speaker 2: What did he Yeah, as far as basketball, he parts

1373
01:04:47,440 --> 01:04:49,760
Speaker 2: Kusma went at Dinwoodie and said, you can't be a

1374
01:04:49,960 --> 01:04:52,600
Speaker 2: second player on a good team, like a second option

1375
01:04:52,680 --> 01:04:56,160
Speaker 2: on a good team. Was that I didn't watches.

1376
01:04:56,360 --> 01:04:57,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was a big clap.

1377
01:04:57,480 --> 01:05:00,360
Speaker 4: So he called himself a second option because then Kuzma

1378
01:05:00,440 --> 01:05:04,040
Speaker 4: calls him a second option in quotes more like a

1379
01:05:04,160 --> 01:05:07,080
Speaker 4: second point guard is basically what he says.

1380
01:05:08,640 --> 01:05:12,040
Speaker 2: Got him got it anyways, the winner is obviously FanDuel TV.

1381
01:05:12,600 --> 01:05:14,720
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, big they got added.

1382
01:05:17,240 --> 01:05:20,320
Speaker 3: That's a great part of this too, straight up added them.

1383
01:05:20,800 --> 01:05:24,760
Speaker 4: That's really didn't get anything back though for Spencer Dinwiddy

1384
01:05:24,760 --> 01:05:28,440
Speaker 4: in that trade. No, no, they got. Yeah, it was

1385
01:05:28,520 --> 01:05:30,840
Speaker 4: a huge trade and I think the Nets shipped out

1386
01:05:30,840 --> 01:05:32,640
Speaker 4: Dinwity and all they got back was a twenty twenty

1387
01:05:32,680 --> 01:05:36,480
Speaker 4: four second rounder and twenty twenty five second rounder. Is

1388
01:05:36,520 --> 01:05:39,360
Speaker 4: that it? Well, I guess, and though they did the deal,

1389
01:05:39,600 --> 01:05:39,960
Speaker 4: I don't know.

1390
01:05:40,080 --> 01:05:40,440
Speaker 2: It's hard.

1391
01:05:40,680 --> 01:05:43,000
Speaker 4: It's hard to say. August six, two thousand and one.

1392
01:05:43,080 --> 01:05:46,440
Speaker 4: That's like a brick of text in this in this

1393
01:05:46,720 --> 01:05:49,640
Speaker 4: trade here and just all the most random dudes of

1394
01:05:49,720 --> 01:05:50,120
Speaker 4: all time.

1395
01:05:50,240 --> 01:05:52,160
Speaker 3: Don't worry about it. Kuzma will bring it up in

1396
01:05:52,200 --> 01:05:55,160
Speaker 3: his next Twitter thread. He'll have that whole paragraph. I'm

1397
01:05:55,200 --> 01:05:58,440
Speaker 3: sure when they go back and forth, Kuzma's going to

1398
01:05:58,520 --> 01:06:00,360
Speaker 3: have to be uh. He did end it with saying, like,

1399
01:06:00,440 --> 01:06:03,240
Speaker 3: go sixers, so he's well aware. Of course, Dinwitty is

1400
01:06:03,280 --> 01:06:06,560
Speaker 3: playing Philadelphia. Kus is going to be chiming in every game.

1401
01:06:06,480 --> 01:06:06,760
Speaker 2: Is he not?

1402
01:06:07,520 --> 01:06:10,040
Speaker 3: Anytime dinwitiy has a bad team something like that, you

1403
01:06:10,080 --> 01:06:10,480
Speaker 3: would think.

1404
01:06:10,560 --> 01:06:14,480
Speaker 2: So he has shown restraint, is all I'm saying. Well, ye.

1405
01:06:16,480 --> 01:06:20,240
Speaker 3: Starting to this both times. Yeah, heyes, that's true.

1406
01:06:21,080 --> 01:06:24,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, And yeah, Kuzma, I mean there was a little

1407
01:06:24,840 --> 01:06:27,600
Speaker 2: a little build up there, obviously with a five tweet

1408
01:06:27,720 --> 01:06:31,280
Speaker 2: thread like that, that didn't just happen. I think there

1409
01:06:31,400 --> 01:06:34,760
Speaker 2: was some obviously some animosity, but I do think a

1410
01:06:34,800 --> 01:06:37,640
Speaker 2: little restraint, no restraint with the outfits, but restraint with

1411
01:06:37,800 --> 01:06:38,680
Speaker 2: the tweet fingers.

1412
01:06:38,760 --> 01:06:43,880
Speaker 3: I would say, who won the dinwitty Kuzma Round two? Beef?

1413
01:06:44,200 --> 01:06:47,880
Speaker 3: Who won the fan duel? Run it back?

1414
01:06:48,840 --> 01:06:52,959
Speaker 4: I'm glad I picked h over five tweets first, Kyle

1415
01:06:53,040 --> 01:06:57,320
Speaker 4: Kuzma's throat five and a half, so I went over

1416
01:06:57,440 --> 01:06:57,840
Speaker 4: it was great.

1417
01:06:57,880 --> 01:07:03,160
Speaker 2: Good for you that you made some k apologies.

1418
01:07:03,480 --> 01:07:06,400
Speaker 3: That's Kd's guy, right, that's his boy, his buddy. Yeah,

1419
01:07:06,520 --> 01:07:07,760
Speaker 3: they do the podcast.

1420
01:07:10,200 --> 01:07:12,520
Speaker 2: Can't wait to read the article about that on the Athletic.

1421
01:07:12,640 --> 01:07:13,560
Speaker 3: What's banks he doing?

1422
01:07:14,120 --> 01:07:17,360
Speaker 4: The artist he doesn't want you to know. Ye, you

1423
01:07:17,480 --> 01:07:22,040
Speaker 4: don't know that hilarious stunt where somebody bought his painting

1424
01:07:22,080 --> 01:07:24,760
Speaker 4: and then suddenly that was badass.

1425
01:07:26,760 --> 01:07:31,320
Speaker 3: That was so cool that right there, that's like middle

1426
01:07:31,360 --> 01:07:33,240
Speaker 3: fingers to art right in his back.

1427
01:07:33,440 --> 01:07:37,160
Speaker 2: That we gotta call it there.

1428
01:07:38,040 --> 01:07:39,840
Speaker 3: I gotta get some tea in me before we get

1429
01:07:39,840 --> 01:07:41,760
