Speaker 1: Welcome back to The Draymond Green Show. Um, tonight is
Speaker 1: kind of terrible. We got destroyed. Um, So, if you
Speaker 1: haven't figured out yet, this is like Warriors Win Happy podcast,
Speaker 1: Warriors and Celtics win like extacted podcast. It's like as
Speaker 1: if Jackson plays with the with the Boston Celtics, so
Speaker 1: I'm actually not crushed because we got crushed, whereas Jackson
Speaker 1: is kind of crushed. Um, Jackson, are you crushed? Bro
Speaker 1: to have that your best defensive player, the defensive player
Speaker 1: of the year gets stripped twice in a row by
Speaker 1: the better like in this series, at least the better
Speaker 1: defensive player. It's tough. And have Jayson Tatum not touching
Speaker 1: the ball in those two possessions, it's tough. It's not good.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you something, Marcus Smart. You know how
Speaker 1: to go when these fans get upset. This man just
Speaker 1: said you're not even the better players. I mean, Drew
Speaker 1: has been so good, Marcus is amazing. It's nothing against Marcus.
Speaker 1: Drew has just been amazing. He's trying to clean it up,
Speaker 1: Marcus A Marcus as I go. Man. That's how sometimes
Speaker 1: they say Rudy Gobert a better defensive player than me,
Speaker 1: Marcus when we struggle, I mean you did, no, Actually
Speaker 1: it would be Drew. But however, I'm really not comparing
Speaker 1: Drew too, because Drew is actually arguably a better defender
Speaker 1: than Marcus Smart. And that's no disrespect to Marcus Smart.
Speaker 1: I think Marcus Smart would tell you that Drew is
Speaker 1: Drew is absolutely and an incredible defender, and I don't
Speaker 1: think people really understand that. And like, like I always
Speaker 1: knew he was an incredible defender, but then to see
Speaker 1: Drew up close in person in the Olympics, like, dude,
Speaker 1: he's insane defensively, the way he moves his feet in
Speaker 1: his hands are quick and he's strongest man. So it's
Speaker 1: actually no disrespect to Marcus Smart. But Drew is an
Speaker 1: amazing defender, and Drew is like he's a good on
Speaker 1: board defender, he's a good help defender like he Drew
Speaker 1: never gets the respect defensively that he deserves. To see
Speaker 1: Drew make those two plays down the stretch, Um, was
Speaker 1: not shocking to anyone. Now. I think where the problem
Speaker 1: for me happens, though, is everybody's like Drew making the
Speaker 1: play on the defensive player of the Year. It's not
Speaker 1: as if I don't understand why people are throwing the
Speaker 1: Defensive Player of the Year thing out there with Marcus
Speaker 1: because he's making an offensive play and so you know, Um,
Speaker 1: I just was not even you, Jackson. I was just like,
Speaker 1: you know, you grow down Instagram and that's that's everywhere.
Speaker 1: It's like it, Um, d p o y question. I
Speaker 1: saw something that said d p o y verse smart,
Speaker 1: like you know, to to take shots at him winning
Speaker 1: the Defensive Player of the Year because he got stopped twice.
Speaker 1: The reality is that he shouldn't have the ball in
Speaker 1: that situation. Um, Jayson Tatum should have a ball in
Speaker 1: that situation, and if not Jason Tatum, then Jaylen Brown
Speaker 1: should have the ball in that situation. And so for
Speaker 1: people to go at markets Smart with the whole defensive
Speaker 1: player of your thing because Drew made great defensive place
Speaker 1: is a little crazy to me. But let's talk about
Speaker 1: the two stops. Um. When I the first stop, you know,
Speaker 1: driving baseline against Drew, that's Marcus Smart. Like Marcus Smart
Speaker 1: drives right, get to the rim and finish that often,
Speaker 1: you know, So I'm not looking at the entire play like,
Speaker 1: oh man, that was a you know, that was a
Speaker 1: terrible play or something like. That's what Marcus Smart does.
Speaker 1: He's a right hand driver, get to the lane, finished
Speaker 1: off the glass. Drew made an incredible defensive play. And
Speaker 1: so as much as I think, yes, Jason Jason Tatum
Speaker 1: should have had the ball, yes, Jaylen Brown should have
Speaker 1: had the ball. That is something that they get too often,
Speaker 1: which is Marcus Smart downhill to his right hand. Kudos
Speaker 1: to Drew. The second play. The problem I have with
Speaker 1: the second player is I'm never you know, um, I
Speaker 1: just felt like he was like I felt like Marcus
Speaker 1: was driving into like there was nothing over there, Like
Speaker 1: even if Drew didn't take the ball, there was absolutely
Speaker 1: nothing over there. And I can look at some of
Speaker 1: the mistakes I've made in my career, is like Drew
Speaker 1: should have gave Jason should have been coming to get
Speaker 1: the ball in the backcourt from Marcus Smart, as opposed
Speaker 1: to pushing it up and then trying to get it
Speaker 1: back to him and try him trying to get open
Speaker 1: in the front court. Once Marcus Smart acrosses the half
Speaker 1: court line, Jason needs to go to the ball as opposed. Yes,
Speaker 1: he was running on the wing wide open. We all
Speaker 1: saw it hindsight, but Jason should have win and got
Speaker 1: the ball and then bring it and go get the
Speaker 1: shot that you want, or they probably sent a double
Speaker 1: team and then he can make the play as opposed
Speaker 1: to Marcus coming to make the play. And so if
Speaker 1: I look back at Katie and myself, I'm I should
Speaker 1: probably give Katie the ball back there so he can
Speaker 1: go make the play at that time in the game.
Speaker 1: So that's the issue that I have with with with
Speaker 1: the transition players. Marcus shouldn't have the ball, the Jason
Speaker 1: needs to go get the ball, bring the ball up
Speaker 1: and you get the what shot you want, even if
Speaker 1: that's I'm about to draw too and kick it the
Speaker 1: markets on the wing, I'm gonna draw too and kick
Speaker 1: it the market or drop it off the markets, cutting
Speaker 1: or whatever. Jason should be making the play and he
Speaker 1: has to learn that he has to go back and
Speaker 1: get that ball back there in the back court. I'm
Speaker 1: going to get the ball. I'm gonna go make a
Speaker 1: play now before the defense can set up. As opposed
Speaker 1: to market it. Bring it the defense loading up. Now
Speaker 1: you hand off to Jason or something, and the whole
Speaker 1: defense is set. No, Jason, bring it before the defense
Speaker 1: gets set. But he gotta go get the ball. So
Speaker 1: I'm a charge this one on j T I. You
Speaker 1: know that's that's that's my young fella. And he gotta learn.
Speaker 1: He gotta go get that ball now. Is he twenty
Speaker 1: three years old? Still like he's still learning? And I
Speaker 1: think people don't realize that because he's been so good
Speaker 1: since he walked into the NBA. But he twenty three
Speaker 1: years old. So he'll learn from this and the next
Speaker 1: time he's gonna go back and get that ball and
Speaker 1: then he's gonna make the play. But that's all the
Speaker 1: part of the lungs that you have to take. So
Speaker 1: I'm gonna charge this one to the young fellow because
Speaker 1: he's a superstar and he gonna he gonna be great
Speaker 1: for a long time, and he gonna take that organization
Speaker 1: to places they've been but need to go back to.
Speaker 1: He's gonna take them there. But I'm gonna charge this
Speaker 1: one to him because he gotta go get that ball,
Speaker 1: and he go get the ball. We're not talking about
Speaker 1: this because he either shooting that or he making the
Speaker 1: play to somebody, not somebody else making the play. And
Speaker 1: that's a learn that's, like I said, that's a learning
Speaker 1: lesson for JT. So that's what I got for you.
Speaker 1: On the on the Boston Celtics game again, Al Horford
Speaker 1: by the way, still bumping, oh Al, still bumping, playing
Speaker 1: incredible basketball, oh Al. I also thought, um for the Bucks,
Speaker 1: Pat Connington played well. Now, I'm gonna tell you something
Speaker 1: that bothers me with the Bucks though. Down the stretch,
Speaker 1: I don't want Pat Content shooting the free throws. You
Speaker 1: may tell me Pat Content is a free throw shoot,
Speaker 1: but like if Pat Content like, I like Pat Content.
Speaker 1: I think Pat Content is a very good player. But
Speaker 1: I just don't love Pat content shooting free throws down
Speaker 1: the stretch with the game on the line, because I went,
Speaker 1: if the if the game's on the line, for me,
Speaker 1: I have a certain guy or two that I want
Speaker 1: the ball in their hand when the game is on
Speaker 1: the line. If that means they're shooting free throws, I
Speaker 1: need that guy there because your trust is just gonna
Speaker 1: be different than that. You know, Drew Holiday may shoot
Speaker 1: from the free throw line this year or something like that,
Speaker 1: but if you see Drew Holiday at the free throw
Speaker 1: line as opposed to Pat Connington, your trust it's just
Speaker 1: different than that because you know Drew is always ready
Speaker 1: for the moment. And so that's something that I don't
Speaker 1: necessarily love. And like I said, I absolutely I really
Speaker 1: like Pat Connington as a player. I think he's a
Speaker 1: very good player. I think he plays very well for
Speaker 1: the Milwaukee Bucks. Uh slasher, A good athlete, knocks the
Speaker 1: knocks the three ball down tough, like Pat Connington is
Speaker 1: a really good player. But just game on the line
Speaker 1: down the stretch, Like if you get the ball to
Speaker 1: Pat Connington to get filed right and they trap him, like,
Speaker 1: are you trusting Pat Connington to make the play out
Speaker 1: of the trap. And so that's kind of why you
Speaker 1: be needing, like your guys who had a ball to
Speaker 1: have the ball. Now that's where you're missing, uh, Chris Middleton,
Speaker 1: because Chris Middleton, and so I've been a little um.
Speaker 1: I think if Chris Middleton was in this series, it
Speaker 1: will be a total different series. This Boston is still
Speaker 1: growing and Boston may very well still win this series,
Speaker 1: but I think it will be a lot different as
Speaker 1: Chris midliton. And that's one example of that moving forward,
Speaker 1: as everyone wants to talk about how we whoop that
Speaker 1: trick or lack thereof, Um, yeah, tonight, I got away
Speaker 1: and look got a little out of hand, um pretty quick.
Speaker 1: I mean we played decent in the first quarter, not great,
Speaker 1: but it was okay, But but it got out of hand.
Speaker 1: And I think for us, what we have to realize
Speaker 1: is this is not the same team we were playing
Speaker 1: to start this series. And so you almost have to
Speaker 1: make the adjustment in this series for us as if
Speaker 1: we're starting an entirely different series. You know, you go
Speaker 1: from series of series, your pick and roll covers maybe
Speaker 1: one thing and in the series before and then you
Speaker 1: change it the following series that's kind of where we're
Speaker 1: at now, is like you kind of have to rethink
Speaker 1: the whole game plan because our game plan was built
Speaker 1: around John morette like and it's not that anymore. And
Speaker 1: they're a totally different team. There are a totally different
Speaker 1: team without Ji. More guys touched the ball. You kind
Speaker 1: of gotta you gotta account for more guys on a
Speaker 1: normal basis when Gi isn't on the floor. They are
Speaker 1: also a different team defensively when Ji isn't on the floor,
Speaker 1: And I think that's something that's been understated as well.
Speaker 1: It's like, you know, you're putting jih in the actions
Speaker 1: and different things like that, and you you you're not
Speaker 1: really doing that now defensively because they have a bunch
Speaker 1: of like size guys. They're switching things and like different
Speaker 1: stuff of that nature. So we have to approach this
Speaker 1: next game as an entirely different series and what adjustments
Speaker 1: are we making from series the series and approach this
Speaker 1: next game like that, because that's just a totally different
Speaker 1: team than we were playing and the game plan that
Speaker 1: we had. And by the way, this isn't like a
Speaker 1: our coaches screwed us and like no, and we got punched,
Speaker 1: and and it's on us two players. It's not on
Speaker 1: the coaches at all, but us as players and coaches,
Speaker 1: we all have to make the adjustments that we need
Speaker 1: to make. Like I said, as if we were changing series,
Speaker 1: so that will happen. Um, When you turn the ball
Speaker 1: over twenty two times, you give up eighteen offensive rebounds,
Speaker 1: that's tough to overcome. You add in that they shot
Speaker 1: the lights out the ball, it's tough to overcome. And
Speaker 1: and when especially their season is on the line, like
Speaker 1: they're they're scrapping, they have nothing to lose. So for them,
Speaker 1: it's like we're coming out of guns blaze and we
Speaker 1: got nothing to lose. And we have to understand that.
Speaker 1: And I don't think our approach was as such. It's like,
Speaker 1: this is a close out game, and it's gonna be
Speaker 1: very very hard to close this team out. We understand
Speaker 1: that now, and so we moved forward knowing that this
Speaker 1: is gonna be tough. This team isn't gonna lay down.
Speaker 1: Let's make the adjustments that we need to make. But
Speaker 1: the number one adjustment has to be not turning the
Speaker 1: ball over. The thing is, we haven't been great not
Speaker 1: turning the ball over our series. But where we have
Speaker 1: been great at is rebounding the basketball. And so whereas
Speaker 1: we were rebounding basketball great offensively and defensively, we didn't
Speaker 1: rebound it well on either side tonight. And now you
Speaker 1: couple that with twenty two turnovers, and then also you
Speaker 1: add on the way they shot the ball. You probably
Speaker 1: I still wouldn't think we were lose by fifty, but
Speaker 1: you probably who's that game. And so I don't think
Speaker 1: it's anything for us to panic about. We understand, all right,
Speaker 1: this is a different team. We have to play this
Speaker 1: team differently. We have to approach this game six differently,
Speaker 1: going back home, home crowd, get the crowd into it,
Speaker 1: and come out and put your hard hats on, and
Speaker 1: and I think that's, you know, that's what we gotta do.
Speaker 1: That's where we're at. We gotta control the paint better.
Speaker 1: I know, at one point during the game, I looked
Speaker 1: up the points in the paint was like forty six
Speaker 1: to fourteen or something crazy like that, Like you can't
Speaker 1: win games like that unless Steph Curry is eleven for
Speaker 1: sixteen from three and Clay Thompson is eleven for fifteen
Speaker 1: from three, Like you can't get outscored the paint like that.
Speaker 1: So that's two things that a couple of things that
Speaker 1: we have to do better, and I think we will
Speaker 1: do better. I thought very early in the game the
Speaker 1: turnovers weren't bad, and then they just got out of
Speaker 1: hand and got out of control. So we go back
Speaker 1: to the drawing board, travel day tomorrow. Uh how shoot
Speaker 1: around on Friday, put in our adjustments and get ready
Speaker 1: to play game six. Nobody said it will be easy.
Speaker 1: Let's you know. So that's what we do now. I
Speaker 1: have fun at the game tonight, um with whoop that trick?
Speaker 1: Get him whoop that trick. I mean, it was live
Speaker 1: in there when they played that, by the way, and
Speaker 1: as you know, I started waving my toe because for me,
Speaker 1: I talk a lot. I talked John, I communicate. I'm
Speaker 1: I'm a talker like I and I don't respect guys
Speaker 1: who when it's all beautiful and you know, you win
Speaker 1: in and everything it's going great, you're yapping, and then
Speaker 1: when it's not you just sit there. I don't respect
Speaker 1: those guys because a real one gonna talk no matter what,
Speaker 1: no matter what the situation is. If I got something
Speaker 1: to say, I'm saying that like I love silas in
Speaker 1: the crowd on the road. I take pride in that
Speaker 1: there's no better feeling. Well, guess what when they got
Speaker 1: the upper hand and they embracing it and they're going crazy,
Speaker 1: you can't sit there like this like no, you all right,
Speaker 1: they got it? What's up? You're gonna never see me sweat?
Speaker 1: So yeah, I was waving my toe and they're talking
Speaker 1: about whipped that trick. Yeah, we're whipping that trick together.
Speaker 1: Like I'm gonna have a good time in here too.
Speaker 1: So I enjoyed that moment um. And like I said,
Speaker 1: it was it was hopping in there. Any time I
Speaker 1: had an opportunity to being invironments like that, I love it.
Speaker 1: You know, you you just you don't get those environments often.
Speaker 1: So that was cool. Um, you know they got the
Speaker 1: one to three four, you know all that stuff like
Speaker 1: you see it, you know that and you move forward.
Speaker 1: So I'm looking forward to Game six a lot like us.
Speaker 1: There were some other blowouts in game five. Um, the
Speaker 1: Phoenix Suns beat the Dallas Mavericks by thirty. I thought
Speaker 1: Luca usage rate flew back up again. And you know,
Speaker 1: one thing to note though, and I always talked about
Speaker 1: this is role players played better at home then on
Speaker 1: the road. And so you see when Luca is going
Speaker 1: to Phoenix, his usage rate his way up. But he
Speaker 1: also may feel like, I have to do more because
Speaker 1: other guys are doing less when we're on the road,
Speaker 1: and so every one wants to blame Luca and say, oh, man,
Speaker 1: he needs to pass the ball, he need to do this.
Speaker 1: But again, it's not so easy for role players to
Speaker 1: play great on the road. It's it's just a weird thing,
Speaker 1: like it's a comfortability thing, like, it's just a very
Speaker 1: weird thing. And so I do think that's a part
Speaker 1: of the reason why Luca usage rate goes up dramatically
Speaker 1: when he's on the road as opposed to when he's
Speaker 1: playing at home. You know, even like Jalen Brunson, he's
Speaker 1: a totally different player at home than he is on
Speaker 1: the road. Now, you have to understand that Jalen Brunson
Speaker 1: is used to being a role player. Over the course
Speaker 1: of this last year, he's stepping that up and he's
Speaker 1: becoming like there he's became their second option. Um, but
Speaker 1: that's still a role that he's growing into. That doesn't
Speaker 1: happen overnight. And so when you look at that, Luca
Speaker 1: has to kind of step it up a bit. However,
Speaker 1: that's not the recipe for success for them, and so
Speaker 1: it's a weird balance that they gotta a ground. I
Speaker 1: do think that series will end up going seven. Uh.
Speaker 1: The book looked very disrespected. I saw him in Luca
Speaker 1: getting at it quite a bit. I think that's something
Speaker 1: to watch for. I've told you all before the book
Speaker 1: ain't ducting, no smoke, I'm back down from nobody. And
Speaker 1: I mean they were they they were. They were saying
Speaker 1: real words like It wasn't like, um hey man, I scored.
Speaker 1: They were saying real, real, real words, and I thought
Speaker 1: that was fun and I'm looking forward to that. You
Speaker 1: also had the Miami Heat and the philip destroyed the
Speaker 1: Philadelphia seventy sixers. Joel had a bad game. Everybody kind
Speaker 1: of had a bad game. I think Joel is very
Speaker 1: emotional leader for certain I think Joel, you know, you
Speaker 1: even handle emotions one or two ways, and there's no
Speaker 1: guarantee of how you're gonna handle it. I do think
Speaker 1: that not winning the m VP thing kind of weighed
Speaker 1: on him a little bit. Some instances, you go out
Speaker 1: there and you absolutely play great and you can stick
Speaker 1: it in it, excuse me, in everybody's face. And sometimes
Speaker 1: you go out there and those emotions get the best
Speaker 1: of you and you don't play that great. And I
Speaker 1: think everybody in seventy six is uniform followed that. And
Speaker 1: so going back to Philly, they need guys who didn't
Speaker 1: play well on the road to come in and play well.
Speaker 1: Joel obviously has to be better. I think Joel will
Speaker 1: be better. Um, I don't think Philly is just going
Speaker 1: to go lay down. And I also see that one
Speaker 1: headed back to Miami for a game seven as well. Jackson,
Speaker 1: let's get a couple of male bad questions. You've got
Speaker 1: something for me? I do um, not a lot of
Speaker 1: basketball sup tonight because I figured, well, they want basketball
Speaker 1: quite and they will do some kind of fun for
Speaker 1: more fun stuff from MJ Velasco at Lasko A m
Speaker 1: J from euro p o V. What separates a playoff
Speaker 1: team from a championship team? Playoff team? Playoff teams get
Speaker 1: to the playoffs, they make a lot of mistakes, um,
Speaker 1: they but playoff teams usually have like really big weaknesses.
Speaker 1: Championship teams don't have really big weaknesses, as they go alone,
Speaker 1: they make less mistakes, they don't give up big leads.
Speaker 1: They win the games that they're supposed to win, and
Speaker 1: they go on the road and win games that they're
Speaker 1: not supposed to win. That's championship teams. Playoff teams lose
Speaker 1: games that they're supposed to win. They ever went on
Speaker 1: the road. Those are some of the differences. Key differences
Speaker 1: the playoff teams and championship teams from Rick Conants at
Speaker 1: Capricorn Underscore n are you gonna let the snow cap
Speaker 1: on your chin grow out? Or are you gonna color it?
Speaker 1: I am not. I don't know yet. I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: say never and then y'all hold me to that. But
Speaker 1: I like it. I rocked with it, man. That's that's
Speaker 1: you know, that's you go through life. Man. Number one,
Speaker 1: I have a very I play a very high stress sport.
Speaker 1: Testosterone levels are you know, you're like and so that
Speaker 1: adds to it. Um. I think that's a part of
Speaker 1: the reason you see, like guys in the NBA go
Speaker 1: ball fast and like, like you gotta think about the
Speaker 1: ups and the downs like that's crazy spikes and so
Speaker 1: I rock with it. My wife like um, But sometimes
Speaker 1: you'd be like, no, you think you want to die.
Speaker 1: So I don't know. Ultimately it's gonna heyes, are gonna
Speaker 1: decide if I if I'm a darken it up or
Speaker 1: if I'm just gonna roll with it. But I'm rolling
Speaker 1: with it right now, baby, I'm rolling at last one
Speaker 1: from Luca at Luca to zero six to nine. What
Speaker 1: advice do you have for a sixteen year old six
Speaker 1: one guard trying to make it big? I think you
Speaker 1: can sort of take this. You're just all sort of
Speaker 1: basketball players at that age trying to make it to
Speaker 1: the next level. Uh well, I mean I think as
Speaker 1: a sixteen year old guard, Number one is you, you
Speaker 1: you should be working on your jump shot as you
Speaker 1: see how important shooting the ball is in this league.
Speaker 1: And I think you should take pride and defense the
Speaker 1: defensive end. Um. There are so many guards today that
Speaker 1: don't take pride in that and all simly it catches
Speaker 1: up to you. And I think not being a mismatch
Speaker 1: on the floor and taking produe on that side of
Speaker 1: the ball that means something, And especially as a guard,
Speaker 1: like you want your guys to know like, all right,
Speaker 1: this guy is gonna compete on that side of the ball,
Speaker 1: and and that's a part of being a leader, you know.
Speaker 1: And so I think shooting the ball well, take produm
Speaker 1: on defensive end. And then obviously don't be a guard
Speaker 1: that can't drill with a basketball. You if you can't
Speaker 1: drill with a basketball, there is a cap on how
Speaker 1: good you can be at basketball if you can't dribble.
Speaker 1: So work on your handle, know how to handle pressure,
Speaker 1: work on your jump shot, and play the god big defense.
Speaker 1: I'm working on cursing ha, how's that going for it? Ship?
Speaker 1: It works sometimes, but like sometimes some things need a curseword,
Speaker 1: like like you mean something like sometimes like so I
Speaker 1: think it's going good for me, I'm like thoughtful about
Speaker 1: it in light, but sometimes some things like need that.
Speaker 1: And so when it needed, I'll go for it. When
Speaker 1: it don't need it, I kind of pumped the brakes
Speaker 1: a little bit. So as you can see, I told
Speaker 1: you I was not as crushed as Jackson. I think
Speaker 1: my energy was a little better than Jackson's. Jackson is crushed,
Speaker 1: she's heartbroken. Um, and that's all finding dandy. But that's
Speaker 1: a wrap from this episode of The Draymond Green Show.
Speaker 1: The next time I talked to you. We should be
Speaker 1: talking about the next series. We should not be talking
Speaker 1: about this series again. So until then that's a rap piece.
