Speaker 1: Welcome in What's Right with Nick Right somewhat emergency reaction
Speaker 1: Episode two, Day one of the NBA Playoffs Saturday and Sunday.
Speaker 1: I guess Day one and two, But game ones across
Speaker 1: the board eight games three and a half interesting ones
Speaker 1: is to my eye. Maybe you could say three and
Speaker 1: three quarters interesting ones, depending on what you think of
Speaker 1: Pacers Bucks. We're gonna start with Warriors Rockets. We will
Speaker 1: then get to the Lakers getting absolutely unraveled by the Timberwolves,
Speaker 1: and then probably the best game of the weekend Clippers Nuggets.
Speaker 2: With a few minutes on the.
Speaker 1: Four other games, most notably Nicks, Pistons, Warriors, Rockets. Watched
Speaker 1: it live last night, rewatched the bulk of the second
Speaker 1: half this morning, and there are some things that should
Speaker 1: not surprise you at all. The Rockets defense being as
Speaker 1: advertised all year. That's a good thing for them. The
Speaker 1: Rockets offense being as you worried about once the playoffs
Speaker 1: got going, that's a bad thing for them. Both of
Speaker 1: those showed up. This is my pick in this series
Speaker 1: was Rockets in seven. And I'm not going to lie
Speaker 1: to the audience that that game didn't shake my faith
Speaker 1: in the fact that the Rockets can go blow for
Speaker 1: blow with the Warriors.
Speaker 2: It did shake my faith a bit.
Speaker 1: And if this team gets to a game seven, do
Speaker 1: they have anyone that is going to be able to
Speaker 1: make shots now the Rockets or if you didn't watch
Speaker 1: the game, the Rockets are not going to be six
Speaker 1: of twenty nine from three throughout the series. And you
Speaker 1: did see how the how limited the Warriors offense is
Speaker 1: outside of Steph and Jimmy. But the outside of Stephan
Speaker 1: Jimmy doesn't matter when the the Warriors defense, which has
Speaker 1: been the number one defense in basketball since they got
Speaker 1: Jimmy Butler, can suffocate the Rockets, holding him to eighty
Speaker 1: five points.
Speaker 2: And when Steph.
Speaker 1: Curry, who the last time the Warriors played the Rockets
Speaker 1: scored three scores thirty one. And so my biggest takeaways
Speaker 1: from this game in no particular order, Shingoon's got to
Speaker 1: be even more active, and Shingoon has to be willing,
Speaker 1: and he was in this game to his credit.
Speaker 2: If Draymond is going.
Speaker 1: To give you those eight to fourteen footers, you just
Speaker 1: got to take them I E. And now Shingoon made it,
Speaker 1: took and made that one end of shot clock three.
Speaker 1: This is a guy who on the year only you know,
Speaker 1: he took just over one to three a game and
Speaker 1: was twenty three percent. It's not his game. He almost
Speaker 1: has to be willing to take one or two of
Speaker 1: the game, not just end of shot clock, because they
Speaker 1: are giving him so much space and maybe that can
Speaker 1: open things up. Obviously for the Rockets side of things,
Speaker 1: they need Van Vliet to be better. Van Vliet hit
Speaker 1: the one shot late, and that's what was so interesting
Speaker 1: about this game. Rockets found themselves down by twenty four
Speaker 1: after the Warriors avalanche twenty three to twenty four steph
Speaker 1: hits the insane three, and then they punched back and
Speaker 1: they got it all the way down to four points
Speaker 1: with Fred van Vliet finally hitting a three after starting
Speaker 1: the game one of ten. But they weren't able to
Speaker 1: get over the over the hump. They had used a
Speaker 1: bad challenge earlier in the game or in the fourth
Speaker 1: quarter on a block charge, which just unless you are
Speaker 1: one hundred percent like those aren't getting overturned. And because
Speaker 1: of that, they weren't able to use their challenge on
Speaker 1: an out of bounds call when the ball went off
Speaker 1: Draymond down four late in the fourth they can't challenge it.
Speaker 1: Warriors inbound it. Steph hits a rainbow three from thirty
Speaker 1: feet and all of a sudden.
Speaker 2: You're down seven. And they never got closer.
Speaker 1: So they had their opportunities. But Jalen Green is going to.
Speaker 2: Have to show up.
Speaker 1: And the concern for the Rockets on the Jalen Green
Speaker 1: front is and I understand it's a weird spot because
Speaker 1: they had everything locked up. He wasn't playing big minutes.
Speaker 1: But Jalen Green now his last four games five point
Speaker 1: seven points, two point seven points. That's your leading scorer
Speaker 1: on the season, and so he's going to have to
Speaker 1: get going. Amon Thompson seems shell shocked by the game.
Speaker 1: That's fine, second year player, first playoff game. He's going
Speaker 1: to have to be more impactful defensively because because the Rockets,
Speaker 1: despite aim In Thompson not having his typical aim In
Speaker 1: Thompson esque impact on the defensive end, the Rockets will
Speaker 1: sign up for the Warriors scoring ninety five points in
Speaker 1: every single game. It was the Warriors defense combined with
Speaker 1: the Rockets total inability to score that allowed the Warriors
Speaker 1: to control this game. And now on the Warriors side
Speaker 1: of things, credit where credit is due. Jimmy was excellent
Speaker 1: on both sides of the ball again, twenty five seven, six,
Speaker 1: five steals, only one foul plus minus can be misleading
Speaker 1: in this instance, it wasn't plus fourteen in Jimmy's minutes
Speaker 1: and Steph after I think starting zero for three then
Speaker 1: at one point made eleven of his next twelve or
Speaker 1: eleven of his next thirteen, and just those backer Layton
Speaker 1: shot clock, good defensive possession. The Warriors did a good job.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, the Rockets did a good job staying attached
Speaker 1: to Steph. These weren't practice shots by any means, and
Speaker 1: Steph made them pay anyway. If so, I know, I
Speaker 1: game ones are tough because you don't want to underreact,
Speaker 1: but also you're you're prone to overreact. Steph and Jimmy
Speaker 1: combining for fifty six points is something the Warriors will
Speaker 1: sign up for every game the rest of the series.
Speaker 1: That's great production. The fact that they combined for fifty
Speaker 1: six and the rest of the Warriors combined for thirty
Speaker 1: nine is something the Rockets will sign up for every
Speaker 1: single game the rest of the series. And I think
Speaker 1: the Warriors only hitting twelve threes is not really going
Speaker 1: to be an out liar for this series because the
Speaker 1: Rockets are that good defensively. The question is can the
Speaker 1: Rockets find anybody who seems comfortable taking tough and big shots.
Speaker 1: And there's one other element that I haven't even discussed
Speaker 1: that's one of the biggest stories of the game, which
Speaker 1: is the Steven Adams minutes the only person on the
Speaker 1: Rockets with a positive plus minus. And again I'm not
Speaker 1: trying to lean too much on plus minus, but it
Speaker 1: passed the eye test. When Adams was out there, he
Speaker 1: not only was the biggest player on the court, but
Speaker 1: he looked even bigger than he actually is. So we'll
Speaker 1: get to Steven Adams in a minute. The player for
Speaker 1: the Rockets that I would be looking at and saying, hmm,
Speaker 1: could he be a guy who does more for us
Speaker 1: this series is a guy who they took third in
Speaker 1: the draft a few years ago and has kind of
Speaker 1: stayed the same level player since his rookie year. He's
Speaker 1: been a thirteen and seven eight guy as a rookie,
Speaker 1: and he's a thirteen to seven and seven or eight
Speaker 1: guy as a third year player. And that's Jabari Smith.
Speaker 1: Jabari Smith is six to ten guy that can shoot.
Speaker 1: When he was drafted that high, the hope was that
Speaker 1: if he can develop his shot and again after being
Speaker 1: I think a thirty percent free throw or three point
Speaker 1: shooter as a rookie, he's around thirty five percent. Could
Speaker 1: he be Michael Porter Junior, worst jump shot, better defense,
Speaker 1: but a really tall guy who presents matchup problems who
Speaker 1: can hit threes. Again, Michael Porter Junior is probably a
Speaker 1: bad comp because even in those same height, Porter Junior
Speaker 1: is a huge defensive liability and a great shooter. You
Speaker 1: hope Jabari Smith can be a good defender and a
Speaker 1: good shooter. But Jabari Smith in this game, the only
Speaker 1: guy who's hitting all his free throws hit is three
Speaker 1: shots from the field. H is won three. Can he
Speaker 1: do a little bit more? And the other question for
Speaker 1: the Rockets is Steven Adams, who is in this weird
Speaker 1: place where he's in year thirteen, but he just turned
Speaker 1: thirty one. I think can Steven Adams play not just
Speaker 1: twenty minutes, but thirty minutes? Because the Steven Adams minutes,
Speaker 1: the Warriors look tiny and Quinton Post has nothing for him.
Speaker 1: Quinton Posted out there just to shoot threes. The Warriors
Speaker 1: don't want to play Looney. They have put Jonathan gaminga
Speaker 1: totally on ice, and so can't Are the Rockets comfortable
Speaker 1: playing a lot of minutes with the two bigs. Here's
Speaker 1: the thing, and this is the problem with losing game one.
Speaker 1: When you're the home team and you're the young team,
Speaker 1: it's not going to matter the long series adjustments if
Speaker 1: you don't respond in game two with a great shooting
Speaker 1: performance and bounce back. Because what I do know is this,
Speaker 1: even though I think the Rockets are a better team
Speaker 1: than the Warriors, they lose the first two at home,
Speaker 1: that series is over, and so they are. I would
Speaker 1: they are tiny favorites in game two, two point favorites.
Speaker 1: That is we do you know, silly must win on
Speaker 1: the TV show. That is definitionally a must win for
Speaker 1: the Rockets. I still think this is a seven game series.
Speaker 1: My faith in the Rockets being able to get to
Speaker 1: one hundred points in a game seven, even in their
Speaker 1: building wavering a little bit after that performance. Now, speaking
Speaker 1: of faith wavering, the game I was most excited for
Speaker 1: that was a good game for about a quarter and
Speaker 1: a half, and then an absolute route. Timberwolves won seventeen,
Speaker 1: Lakers ninety five. Now some folks are going to say, well,
Speaker 1: Timberwolves go twenty one to forty two from three nas
Speaker 1: Reed and Jaden McDaniel's combined for almost fifty, you're just
Speaker 1: gonna lose that game. That's not my analysis of it.
Speaker 1: I wish that was my analysis of it. If a
Speaker 1: team has an outlier shooting night and they barely beat you,
Speaker 1: or it's a close game like the Warriors did to
Speaker 1: the to the Lakers about three weeks ago, that one
Speaker 1: I can chalk up to. Okay, one team made shots,
Speaker 1: the other team did. That is not the game that
Speaker 1: I saw Saturday night, because yes, the Timberwolves had an
Speaker 1: outlier shooting night, but they blew the Lakers out.
Speaker 2: And yeah, the Lakers.
Speaker 1: Made a slight rally late like maybe are they going
Speaker 1: to make a game? The answer was no, they were
Speaker 1: not going to make it a game. And I said
Speaker 1: on Friday that I thought Anthony Edwards was going to
Speaker 1: average thirty to a game in this series, because I
Speaker 1: thought the Lakers were simply going to take their medicine,
Speaker 1: that he was going to have matchup advantages. They would
Speaker 1: stay home somewhat on shooters and say listen, aunt have
Speaker 1: at it. But you're not going to beat us two
Speaker 1: points at a time. That is not at all what
Speaker 1: they did, not even close. What they did they being
Speaker 1: the Lakers, was packed the paint what you expected, and
Speaker 1: then also send help to Aunt who just sprayed the
Speaker 1: ball all around the court and it led to the
Speaker 1: Timbrels starting the game twenty one to forty from three
Speaker 1: before the bench came in. The Lakers will lose if
Speaker 1: they keep that up. I think the Lakers are a
Speaker 1: better team. I think that there are a lot of
Speaker 1: pieces on the Lakers offense side we can get to.
Speaker 1: But the Lakers choosing because we don't have rim protection,
Speaker 1: we're going to leave shooters rather than because we don't
Speaker 1: have rim protection, we're just gonna take our medicine. If
Speaker 1: Anthony Edwards goes crazy, I think that is the wrong
Speaker 1: fork in the road to take. I think that you
Speaker 1: cannot let all of these Minnesota role players feel good
Speaker 1: about what's going on, be more engaged on defense because
Speaker 1: they're seeing the ball go through the hoop and approach
Speaker 1: it that way. I also think that the Timberwolves approach
Speaker 1: defensively on Luca was a smart one, which was Luca,
Speaker 1: if you get forty you get forty, you are not
Speaker 1: going to generate a million open threes. And that's why
Speaker 1: Luca had thirty seven points and one assist. I thought, listen,
Speaker 1: Luca was the one Laker who I thought played quite well.
Speaker 1: I didn't think his defense killed him. The one assist
Speaker 1: was because things were not available. The idea that that
Speaker 1: Luca took other guys out of the game, I don't
Speaker 1: buy that. So I and the Lakers got blown out
Speaker 1: in the non Luca minutes. They didn't do great in
Speaker 1: the Luca minutes, but then Luca's off the court for
Speaker 1: eight minutes, they lose those. By god, I don't even know,
Speaker 1: ten points in eight minutes. Like so that is Luca
Speaker 1: bears the least brunt of the blame here, but.
Speaker 2: They the Timberwolves.
Speaker 1: Defensive approach to the Lakers needs to be more of
Speaker 1: the Lakers defensive approach to the Timberwls. Now, I understand
Speaker 1: if people are listening and they're like, well, the Timberwlves
Speaker 1: have Rudy Gobert and because of that they can stay
Speaker 1: home with shooters today have a improtector.
Speaker 2: I get it.
Speaker 1: I understand the Timbrels are expected to be a much
Speaker 1: better defense than the Lakers, and they are a better
Speaker 1: defense than the Lakers. I get that, but there needs
Speaker 1: to be more of a There needs to be an
Speaker 1: adjustment in the Lakers defensive approach, and there also needs
Speaker 1: to be an adjustment on if you think Jackson Hayes
Speaker 1: is you know, I wouldn't necessarily change the starting lineup
Speaker 1: in Game two of the playoffs, but if he's only
Speaker 1: playing eight minutes, there's not really much of a reason
Speaker 1: to play him any minutes.
Speaker 2: And if you just want to start really small. The
Speaker 2: one thing that grim Wolves.
Speaker 1: Didn't do was take advantage of the lakers lack of
Speaker 1: size by letting Gobert get involved on lobs or jump hooks,
Speaker 1: anything like that. Gobert two shot attempts. They just wouldn't
Speaker 1: pass him the ball. But Gobert was effective. He had
Speaker 1: some good defense on Lebron Drives, some good defense on
Speaker 1: Luca Drives, and you give him credit. Now, am I
Speaker 1: panicked if I'm the Lakers? No, I'm not panicked.
Speaker 2: And we did see and you know during the bubble, they.
Speaker 1: Lost Game one to Portland, won the series in five,
Speaker 1: lost Game one to Houston, won the series in five.
Speaker 1: They this does not feel like those series felt. But
Speaker 1: there are obvious adjustments. One is Lebron being more aggressive
Speaker 1: from the opening tip. Now we've seen Lebron in Game ones,
Speaker 1: we know that that is not really his mo and
Speaker 1: he kind of got it going a bit in the
Speaker 1: second quarter. But him being more aggressive early and the
Speaker 1: other thing, and this is no shocker, Austin Reeves has
Speaker 1: to play better. Austin Reeves was the lakers worst defender
Speaker 1: and probably their worst offensive player, so none of that
Speaker 1: is gonna work. So everything bad that the Lakers could do,
Speaker 1: they did in this game, which is why they lost
Speaker 1: by twenty. What I will tell you is the Timberwolves
Speaker 1: and they shouldn't be are not scared at all. And
Speaker 1: the Timberwolves and Anthony Edwards, a team that stared down
Speaker 1: Kevin Durant and Devin Buoker last year, and that stared
Speaker 1: down Nikola jokicch and Jamal Murray last year and walked
Speaker 1: them down into Game seven, are not intimidated by Luke
Speaker 1: and Lebron. I thought it was disappointing that the Lakers
Speaker 1: were not able to attack Mike Conley Moore, and I
Speaker 1: thought some of the Lakers' defensive disadvantages should have been
Speaker 1: muted to a degree by the fact that they shouldn't
Speaker 1: have needed to guard Gobert because the Timbrels just wouldn't
Speaker 1: give Gobert the ball. Now, another small silver lining for
Speaker 1: the Lakers. If you think this, you know, if you're
Speaker 1: not writing them off after game one playoff. Julius Randall
Speaker 1: does appear to be here, had some dumbfouls, seemed to
Speaker 1: be in a weird machismo thing with Lebron, had a
Speaker 1: half dozen turnovers, and yes, he hit his threes, but
Speaker 1: not much else, And so that's something to watch for.
Speaker 1: How aggressive Lebron comes out to open game two is
Speaker 1: something to watch for. And do the Lakers trim down
Speaker 1: Jackson Hayes's eight minutes to even less.
Speaker 2: I don't know that you really can.
Speaker 1: I don't know that that's their plan, but I almost
Speaker 1: feel like it needs to be zero or it needs
Speaker 1: to be fifteen. But eight minutes doesn't make a hell
Speaker 1: of a lot of sense to me. So it's not
Speaker 1: panic time for the Lakers. But you cannot chalk that
Speaker 1: game up to add they were the Timberwolves were hot.
Speaker 1: There were bigger issues than that, and Lebron's got to
Speaker 1: be better. Austin's got to be way better. And any
Speaker 1: game that Luke has one assist, Lakers are gonna lose.
Speaker 1: And again, be clear, I don't I'm not putting the
Speaker 1: blame on Luca there. But when the Timberwlves have twenty
Speaker 1: nine assists and the Lakers have fifteen, that feels accurate.
Speaker 1: And typically the team with more assists might also have
Speaker 1: a bunch of turnovers because the balls popping around the court.
Speaker 2: That wasn't the case here.
Speaker 1: Only had ten turnovers, and again Julius Randall had almost
Speaker 1: all of them. Everyone else who was handing the wall
Speaker 1: and Timbrelves did a great job. So Lakers got to
Speaker 1: fix that quickly. And I think they have to adjust
Speaker 1: what they're doing defensively as far as listen, take your
Speaker 1: medicine with Anthony Edwards. Don't let those shooters have I
Speaker 1: think of their forty two to three point attempts, I
Speaker 1: think thirty five of them, maybe thirty seven of them
Speaker 1: were open or wide open. All right, get to the
Speaker 1: other games quickly, But let me remind you the NBA

Speaker 1: so the other games Nuggets Clippers was a game it
Speaker 1: felt like to me the Clippers needed to steal. And
Speaker 1: it's not steel as in they had been thoroughly outplayed.
Speaker 1: It was far from that. But because that game was
Speaker 1: in Denver, because you put forty plus minutes on Kawhi
Speaker 1: and Harden, I know it went to overtime, but that's
Speaker 1: more damaging for them than I think for other teams
Speaker 1: because just as you know the schedule works out, they
Speaker 1: they are they are playing tonight, so they don't get
Speaker 1: the two days off everyone, but you know, I shouldn't
Speaker 1: say everyone, but half of these teams are going to
Speaker 1: end up with multiple days off. Clippers Nuggets draw the
Speaker 1: short straw on that one, which is more damaging because
Speaker 1: the game went to overtime and so you got the
Speaker 1: full Russell Westbrook experience. I'm not breaking news on that
Speaker 1: he made the huge three. He also made some insane decisions,
Speaker 1: including not getting a shot off late and that you know,
Speaker 1: as time expired in regulation, the driving to the basket
Speaker 1: on a critical possession when he just needed to pull
Speaker 1: it out. And he also took seventeen shots. If you're
Speaker 1: the Clippers, you are thrilled that he took seventeen shots.
Speaker 2: Thrilled.
Speaker 1: And if you're the Clippers, I think you are preparing
Speaker 1: for a lot of Russell Westbrook out there because they
Speaker 1: put Michael Porter Junior on ice in that game. I
Speaker 1: talked about the minutes minutes for the Clipper for the Nuggets,
Speaker 1: Gordon forty six, Jokis forty six, Murray forty eight, Brown
Speaker 1: forty five. It was another way. The biggest winner of
Speaker 1: this weekend really was Oklahoma City, and they earned it.
Speaker 1: They they played a leisurely twenty minutes, annihilate the Grizzlies
Speaker 1: in historic fashion and get real evidence. Nuggets Clippers is
Speaker 1: going to be a war. They're gonna have a week
Speaker 1: off before Round two starts, and these the Nuggets just
Speaker 1: once you put Michael Porter Junior on ice because he
Speaker 1: doesn't have it. In some concerning comments from Joker after
Speaker 1: the game, I don't know he was talking about him
Speaker 1: or not where He's basically like, listen, if you're not ready,
Speaker 1: you shouldn't if you're not. I don't want to misquote him,
Speaker 1: but the jokicch quote after the game about staying locked
Speaker 1: in or something seemed odd, and it seemed like it
Speaker 1: was maybe about Michael Porter Junior. You're gonna get a
Speaker 1: lot of Russell Westbrook. Now, his rebounding was excellent, his
Speaker 1: energy was excellent. He made the huge three. But you're
Speaker 1: gonna live with Russ. You're gonna die with Russ. I
Speaker 1: do like the Nuggets in this series. I said that
Speaker 1: before the series, Clippers, if they could have stolen that
Speaker 1: one could have shifted a lot. I am curious at
Speaker 1: altitude the legs of both of these teams, but notably
Speaker 1: Kawhi and Harden just forty eight hours after a forty
Speaker 1: plus minute game. Jokicch and Murray have been playing these
Speaker 1: forty plus minute playoff games forever. Gordon seems fine and
Speaker 1: Christian Brown's young. I think Russ, I'm sorry, I think
Speaker 1: think that Kawhi and Harden are the guys to watch
Speaker 1: the I would imagine. I haven't looked at the line
Speaker 1: for this. Yeah, it's basically pick them Clippers by one.
Speaker 1: I expect this to be a seven game war. Game
Speaker 1: one going to overtime only confirm that the other. Listen,
Speaker 1: three of the games are totally irrelevant. The Grizzlies don't
Speaker 1: want to be there. The Magic put up a good fight.
Speaker 1: I shouldn't say irrelevant, but the Magic put up a
Speaker 1: good fight for a half. And then the inability to
Speaker 1: score is gonna hurt you. Yes, I mean we had
Speaker 1: three teams this weekend not break ninety, and the Grizzlies
Speaker 1: didn't break. They scored eighty and allowed one thirty one,
Speaker 1: the Magic, who had thirty seven second half points, and
Speaker 1: then the Rockets. We talked about earlier scary moment with Tatum,
Speaker 1: but it looks like his wrist is fine. Heat calves
Speaker 1: going into the fourth, It's like, Oh, are the heat
Speaker 1: gonna make these guys work?
Speaker 2: The answer was no. And then the Knicks.
Speaker 1: After looking really shaky for the first three quarters, have
Speaker 1: their best run of the season, Garden on fire, Michale
Speaker 1: Bridges on the bench, something to watch, and they go
Speaker 1: twenty one to nothing. And the Pistons, who are thinking,
Speaker 1: are we gonna steal a game when k doesn't even
Speaker 1: play that well, the answer is no. I'm gonna be
Speaker 1: at the Knicks Pistons game tonight, at least I think
Speaker 1: I am. And we'll be back with the regular pod
Speaker 1: with de Monsey Tuesday morning. We might do a bunch
Speaker 1: of these quick hitter kind of thirty minute bite sized
Speaker 1: reaction pods after the great games or weekends of a
Speaker 1: ton of games. Please like, rate, subscribe review that way
Speaker 1: you know when the extra pods come out. Thank you
Speaker 1: to Paul for work an extra for us, and see
Speaker 1: you guys Tuesday with Demonsey reacting to Game two of
Speaker 1: Clippers Nuggets, Game two of Pistons Nicks, and even deeper
Speaker 1: dive on the Warriors, Rockets, and the Lakers Timberwolves.
Speaker 2: What's right
