00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:11,400

16
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 1: That's not bad. That's a pretty good Jimmy game. Just

17
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:33,679

27
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 1: we call it? Coming through with Trey Kirby picking the

28
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 1: correct Easter egg on today's show, pulling out the little

29
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 1: piece of paper and was it Sebastian or was it

30
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 1: Oscar one of Lee's sons, were not sure which one,

31
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 1: drawing that little magic logo calling calling the number one

32
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,360
Speaker 1: overall pick going to the Orlando Magic there in the

33
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:34,360
Speaker 1: draft lottery tonight. So that was awesome. And then we

34
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:38,119
Speaker 1: got we got a block Weggie tonight. Dare I say

35
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 1: one of the greatest wedgies we've ever seen when you consider, like,

36
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 1: when it's happening game one of the Eastern Conference Finals,

37
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 1: who's involved in it? Bim At, a bio, you know,

38
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 1: an all star of course before on another all star

39
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: in jail and Brown? Right, it was on Brown? Correct

40
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 1: me in the stream team if I'm wrong, just pinning

41
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 1: that thing was a violent block, Weggie Twitter, We nuts.

42
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 1: Instagram went nuts tagging at no Dunk Sink. So it

43
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 1: was absolutely fantastic. So what a night. What just a

44
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:13,920
Speaker 1: beautiful night. We're predicting the draft lottery. We're getting a

45
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 1: wedgie number forty three on the season if you're keeping track.

46
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 1: And then we got a great game, you know, a

47
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 1: tough game. When it comes to making a thumbnail for

48
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:25,920
Speaker 1: this show. First half, I'm like, well, it'd al Tatum.

49
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,640
Speaker 1: He had twenty one at the half. I'm like, okay,

50
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 1: he's still rolling. He was looking like unlocked, I guess

51
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 1: is the best way to put it. He's like, oh,

52
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 1: I'm not in jail anymore, playing against Jannis and Brook Lopez. Inside,

53
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 1: I'm free, I can breathe. And he was cooking, but

54
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 1: holy crap did the heat And we talked about this

55
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 1: spoilster man. He finds a way to make you feel

56
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 1: a little more uncomfortable. And with Tucker coming back there

57
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 1: after tweaking his ankle and just that defense locking in,

58
00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 1: you know, he barely got shots up. How many shot

59
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 1: attempts and even have in the second half. I don't

60
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 1: have that specific breakdown, but I know it wasn't a

61
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 1: ton It must have been what five totals something like that,

62
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 1: crazy crazy stuff. So yeah, I had Tatum as the thumbnail,

63
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 1: and then I'm switching it up to like a more

64
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:19,359
Speaker 1: generic which is what I went with, like Robert Williams

65
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 1: who had a great you know, first half there and

66
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 1: then cramping up, been there before, been there before, Robert

67
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 1: with Bam on the on the thumbnail, and then at

68
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:31,599
Speaker 1: the end, I'm like, Jesus, I should be making this

69
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:35,600
Speaker 1: Jimmy because again forty one points, nine boards, five assists

70
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:39,279
Speaker 1: for steels, three blocks, Jesus twelve to nineteen shooting living

71
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:42,480
Speaker 1: at the line seventeen of eighteen. He had a lot

72
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,480
Speaker 1: of my Twitter followers or tweets that I was seeing

73
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:51,359
Speaker 1: starting to figure out, Jesus, Jimmy Butler, How does he

74
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,039
Speaker 1: avoid the criticism that some of the other guys in

75
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:57,719
Speaker 1: the league that live at the free throw line? Why

76
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:01,040
Speaker 1: is his name not included? You know, because people get

77
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 1: upset when a guy goes to the line a lot.

78
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:05,720
Speaker 1: You know, maybe he is crafty yet drawing the fouls.

79
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,600
Speaker 1: And it's true, I mean, Jimmy's great at it. He

80
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 1: gets there, but a lot of people are like, well,

81
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 1: he's likable, he's oddly likable, so no one gets as

82
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: upset when he's shooting an eighteen free throw at TEP So.

83
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,359
Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe there's some truth to that, but

84
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 1: what a game. I see somebody here in the stream

85
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 1: team pointing out that I'm feeling I'm feeling good about

86
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:32,720
Speaker 1: my heat prediction. I swerved. I went with Miami and

87
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 1: seven everybody on the No Dunk's crew, everybody else, I

88
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 1: should say, taking Celtics in six or seven. It feels

89
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 1: like ninety five percent of people out there taking Boston

90
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 1: the series. It all makes sense. And so I was

91
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 1: being a contrarian a little bit. I'd picked against Boston

92
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 1: in the previous two series, so a little tongue in

93
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:51,600
Speaker 1: cheek continuing to go against them. But I'm not going

94
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,679
Speaker 1: to like, go, yeah, look at me called this series.

95
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:57,839
Speaker 1: I wasn't doing that. If you remember, in Game one

96
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,600
Speaker 1: of the Buck Celtics series, I was like, I was like, Okay,

97
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:03,839
Speaker 1: that's good. They probably had to get that one. This

98
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 1: is far from over, and of course we know how

99
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 1: that ended. So Miami had to have this one though,

100
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 1: especially with like what the late breaking news no Horford

101
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 1: health and safety protocols, WHOA and then no Marcus Smart,

102
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,840
Speaker 1: which you know, we knew he I guess had the

103
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 1: foot injury. I believe it was right in game seven.

104
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 1: I guess I just assumed. I think a lot of

105
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 1: people assumed he would just sort of, you know, tough

106
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 1: it out or whatever. He'd be good enough, I should

107
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,839
Speaker 1: say to go. I mean, the guy's a sob so

108
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 1: I mean, if he could have played, I'm sure he

109
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 1: wanted to play. For crying on one like, okay, come on,

110
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,359
Speaker 1: you can barely move, but that's a shock. So to

111
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:42,039
Speaker 1: have two of those guys, two of your starters out

112
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 1: of the starting lineup, was going to make life way

113
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 1: more difficult, which is why the Heat really needed to

114
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:50,720
Speaker 1: have this one, and it was not looking great for

115
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 1: especially the first four first quarter. I saw coach Thorpe

116
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:58,040
Speaker 1: with True who he had a great tweet. I thought,

117
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,280
Speaker 1: he says, you know how when you walk on one

118
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 1: of those speed belts at an airport and you first

119
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 1: walk off of one and you're like going way faster

120
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 1: than your normal walk. That's what was happening in this game.

121
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 1: The Celtics had just got off the speed belt, but

122
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 1: the Heat were stationary, so it was like they gotta

123
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 1: figure out catch up to like this speed of this

124
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 1: game and the intensity because the Heat had so much

125
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:25,239
Speaker 1: time off Celtics coming off that crazy series against the Bucks,

126
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 1: and I think there was a lot of truth to that,

127
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 1: and Celtics were up at the end of the first quarter.

128
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 1: But I really thought things changed when Hero came in

129
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 1: about midway through the first and he sparked like a

130
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 1: little bit of a heat run. He hit a three,

131
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 1: He had three quick dimes, and he just unlocked a

132
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 1: little bit of something. He had that beautiful pass was

133
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 1: that in the first or second quarter that hit ahead

134
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 1: to Jimmy Butler. He just gave him like a little

135
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:56,240
Speaker 1: bit of life. Offensively, because you had White with smothering defense,

136
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 1: he was looking like smart. You had Tatum, I thought,

137
00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 1: playing great defense, you had time lord. He was in

138
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 1: the head of everybody on the Heat. If he wasn't

139
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 1: blocking them, they were like thinking. They were like where

140
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 1: is he? Where is he? And like rushing shots around

141
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 1: the room and stuff like that. So great start from them.

142
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 1: I wrote in my notes for this game, which looks

143
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 1: silly now, but I was like, this is the first quarter,

144
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 1: mind you. I was like, this moment's look at a

145
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 1: little too big for Gabe Vincent and Max Struce, I

146
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 1: thought they looked shook early on, and I think there

147
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 1: was some truth to that one. I put that down

148
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 1: in my notes, especially Streuce. He had the quick foul trouble.

149
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,439
Speaker 1: But did those guys bounce back? I mean in the end,

150
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:37,559
Speaker 1: Gabe Vincent seventeen, you know, fantastic five to ten, hit

151
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 1: three threes. Streus also hit three threes, some timely ones.

152
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 1: He finished with eleven. So I mean, you know, especially

153
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 1: especially Gabe Vincent, I thought had an even better game

154
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 1: than Max Strews. But I was they found the rhythm

155
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 1: of the game to go back to Thorpe, the speed

156
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 1: of the game there, and I thought they were pretty

157
00:08:56,400 --> 00:09:00,040
Speaker 1: great from from there on out. But yeah, that's it,

158
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 1: you know, as I go through the rest of my

159
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 1: notes here, I guess the shock was that third quarter.

160
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:09,439
Speaker 1: And I think Tucker being able to play, of course massive.

161
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 1: He was just he had like figured out a little

162
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 1: bit sort of where Tatum wanted to go on the

163
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 1: floor counters to it. I mean, he's just such a

164
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 1: smart defender. The whole team is, I mean, the defense

165
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 1: alone on this floor from both squads, like the blocks.

166
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 1: I mean, we had the Bam Wedgie block, but like

167
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:31,680
Speaker 1: the Tyice block which was mad clean. You know, like

168
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 1: how many blocks were they're total in this game, Jesus,

169
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 1: Like felt like there was like thirty. You had twelve

170
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:42,440
Speaker 1: from the Heat, eight from the Celtics. Okay, there's twenty.

171
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:45,679
Speaker 1: That's a lot of blocks and a lot of like

172
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:51,720
Speaker 1: really intense, like clean, crazy blocks, which made really enjoyable

173
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 1: game if you're a defensive sicko like some of us are.

174
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 1: But that twenty four to two start in the third

175
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 1: quarter just you know, blew this one open. From Miami

176
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 1: felt like they were like there was that stretch and

177
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 1: I remember Task had talked about this, like watching Game one,

178
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:08,319
Speaker 1: the heap will go on that six to seven minute

179
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 1: stretch where like it feels like you can't score on them,

180
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 1: and that happened. It felt like they were blocking or

181
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:18,960
Speaker 1: stealing the ball every single time. I think the defensive intensity,

182
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 1: obviously they cranked up in the second half as they

183
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,319
Speaker 1: caught up to the game speed and playing Boston and

184
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:25,319
Speaker 1: figuring them out and like, oh yeah, it's a lot

185
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 1: different than the Hawks and Philly, but the Celtics were

186
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 1: they were pretty sloppy as well. It was you know,

187
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 1: really careless with the ball, especially out on the perimeter

188
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 1: where a lot of these were coming, just straight up

189
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 1: cookies or just getting a hand them their deflection, or

190
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,440
Speaker 1: not seeing the guy coming from you know, like sort

191
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 1: of hiding behind the offensive player. I think it was

192
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:49,560
Speaker 1: Hero sort of hiding behind Tatum. Sort of just a

193
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 1: lazy pass. You think it's easy, just give it to

194
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:55,239
Speaker 1: our guy and he comes from behind and popped it out.

195
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 1: And yeah, the game was you know, if look it

196
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:01,960
Speaker 1: never I guess it wasn't over over would The Celtics

197
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 1: had it to ten with like eight minutes to go,

198
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:08,720
Speaker 1: and they stuck around hitting some threes. Final score, you

199
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 1: know again one eighteen one oh seven thirty one to

200
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 1: twenty five for Boston in the fourth quarter, so they

201
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:19,679
Speaker 1: were still there. You know, we had the Grant Williams

202
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 1: uh little huddle because he's all miked up, telling the

203
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 1: guys to stay with it and stuff like that. A

204
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 1: lot of Grant Williams, the guy I think I'd really

205
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:31,719
Speaker 1: like him on my team. I think you would. But

206
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:36,560
Speaker 1: talks a lot. Seems like he talks a lot. I

207
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 1: wonder like some of those guys like Tatum and Brown

208
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,840
Speaker 1: and Smart and like you know, even the vets like

209
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:44,320
Speaker 1: Corford and like, they just tune him out because he

210
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:46,599
Speaker 1: does have like that little brother vibe to him. You're like,

211
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:49,840
Speaker 1: all right, okay, you've said that. We get it. We're

212
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 1: all trying to play our ass off. I'm not trying

213
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:54,080
Speaker 1: to pile on Grant Williams. I'm sure he's an awesome

214
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 1: guy and sore, he's an awesome team bait. But I

215
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 1: think some of you know what I'm probably talking about,

216
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:00,199
Speaker 1: just like you start to like tune it in a

217
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 1: little bit, like, Okay, man, are you only doing this

218
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 1: too because you're miked up? I always wonder that, always

219
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 1: always questioning that. But yeah, he was obviously in a

220
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 1: little bit of foul trouble in this game. I'm looking

221
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 1: at the rest of the box score. I mean again,

222
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 1: time Lord had a wicket game eighteen and nine, six

223
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 1: of eight, cramped up, had the scary fall on the

224
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 1: flagrant one. What did everybody think of that? Let me know.

225
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:28,960
Speaker 1: In the stream, team Bam for Jesus, it looked like

226
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 1: he was boxing out and Robert Williams is jumping, Bam

227
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:38,720
Speaker 1: is moving falls hard, and so they went and looked

228
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:40,560
Speaker 1: at it. I mean, we had a nice stretch where

229
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:43,720
Speaker 1: Zach Sarba and Maloy and Tony Brothers said, hey, hey, hey,

230
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 1: don't forget about me. Look at this cut I got.

231
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:51,079
Speaker 1: Look at this nice haircut I got. I would love

232
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:54,960
Speaker 1: to show this off to my family on national television.

233
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:57,720
Speaker 1: Let's look at some reviews. Let me look at a

234
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:01,320
Speaker 1: monitor so we can see this clean cut. But that

235
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 1: was to me, that's tough. I mean, it's tough on

236
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:08,559
Speaker 1: a box out. But I guess they said it was

237
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,560
Speaker 1: dangerous and that got the flagrant one. So some people

238
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:15,560
Speaker 1: saying clear flagrant, some people are saying ridiculous. Hey, usually

239
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:17,200
Speaker 1: that's how it goes. We're not all going to come

240
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 1: to a consensus on this. But yeah, obviously at least

241
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:24,559
Speaker 1: he continued to play in the game, and then it

242
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 1: really just appeared to be cramping up for a guy

243
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 1: that hadn't played a whole bunch and then was playing

244
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:32,080
Speaker 1: very hard and playing really well, Like I said, to

245
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 1: the point where then you know I should say good,

246
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:37,200
Speaker 1: good teammate Grant Williams giving him a little massage there,

247
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 1: got to get him down his back though, Get that

248
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:42,320
Speaker 1: leg up, you know, all my runners know, get some

249
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 1: salt in you there. So it'll be interesting moving forward

250
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 1: in this series. I think I think most people when

251
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 1: we heard the news of Horford and Smart being I

252
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 1: was like, well, yeah, the heater going to win. But

253
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 1: you know, again, it wasn't It wasn't easy. They got

254
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:58,960
Speaker 1: contributions from hero like I talked about in the first quarter,

255
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 1: in first half especially, and then Vincent and Strews came

256
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:05,440
Speaker 1: alive hitting some threes and then Jimmy Jesus again forty

257
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 1: one on nineteen shots. This guy is This guy's killing it.

258
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:13,439
Speaker 1: In the postseason, we had the poll up. We talked

259
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 1: about it on this morning's podcast on No Dunks. Of

260
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 1: the four like main stars left on each team in

261
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 1: the conference finals, Curry, Luca, Tatum, and Butler, you know

262
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 1: who's the best and Butler didn't get a lot of votes,

263
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 1: which is okay. Those three other guys have been amazing

264
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 1: and are amazing and one's a Hall of Famer and

265
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 1: Curry and and you know Luca want a run. He's

266
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 1: on Tatum as well, but holy crept, Jimmy is just

267
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 1: working hard and being the man. As they're saying in

268
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 1: the stream, team you know it. You listen to the show,

269
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 1: it's all he wants to do. Just put hoodie on. Jesus,

270
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 1: what a shot? Would he hit that over Tatum though

271
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 1: a little fade away like played perfectly by Tatum on defense.

272
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 1: I mean, just what a shot. Then look into the crowd,

273
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 1: classic Jimmy, he's doing it again. He did this in

274
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 1: the bubble. But it was like one of those things

275
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 1: is like the bubble, man. It just it was perfectly

276
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 1: suited to the heat, we thought, and I think it

277
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 1: was to some extent in their team and who was

278
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 1: on their squad led by Jimmy being in this weird

279
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 1: just like we're just playing in empty gym's basically, and

280
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 1: I can just worry about my big face coffee, maybe

281
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 1: catch a bass in the lake, don't have to worry

282
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 1: about anything else. Just really lock in here. No travel,

283
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 1: you know, no fashion runways, showing up to the readA,

284
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 1: none of that crap. We just hoop. But yeah, he's

285
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 1: doing it again, man, It's awesome. And look he's played

286
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 1: incredible before too. I mean even the Sixers a Raptor

287
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 1: series right where they nearly pulled it off but lost

288
00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 1: in seven, and then that towel ended up happening right there.

289
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 1: That's from the Raptors Championship locker room. I had no

290
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 1: big deal, got a frame, no big deal, no big deal.

291
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 1: But Jimmy's killing it and he's and he's what he's

292
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 1: got to going. He's super fun to watch because he's,

293
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:14,600
Speaker 1: you know, a lot different than most players in the

294
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 1: league where he's not you know, he's hit threes this postseason.

295
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 1: He always finds a way to hit more threes in

296
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 1: the playoffs that he does a regular season. But that's

297
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 1: not his game, and it wasn't tonight. Oh for two

298
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 1: And I know, you know, Jeffy an Gunn, he had

299
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 1: a boner talking about, oh my god, this guy. Yeah,

300
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 1: no threes. We love it living at the line forty

301
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 1: one on shots. So great game. Excited for this series.

302
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 1: I mean it ended up being a high scoring affair,

303
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 1: but again, the defense felt really really locked in for

304
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 1: good stretches. And I think we're going to still see,

305
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 1: you know, some lower scoring games than this. I guess

306
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 1: it's going to be probably in the lower hundreds, if

307
00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 1: not maybe a stinker or two from one of the

308
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 1: side that don't have like the three ball going. Celtics

309
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:06,440
Speaker 1: finished eleven for thirty four from three and the heat

310
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 1: I mean, they're gonna be so happy with that, matching

311
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:11,959
Speaker 1: them basically at ten to thirty, so better percentage from

312
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:16,480
Speaker 1: Miami and just one short. That's that's huge. That was

313
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 1: another thing we talked about in our previews and predictions

314
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 1: for that, just the heat, trying to keep the little

315
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 1: math equation as close as possible when it came to

316
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:26,480
Speaker 1: the three pointers there, because they give up a lot.

317
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:28,480
Speaker 1: Like the Bucks during the regular season, they do give

318
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:31,160
Speaker 1: up a lot, and we saw what Celtics did against

319
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:35,639
Speaker 1: the Bucks splashing a ton. If you guys have questions

320

Speaker 1: other comments, drop them here. These won't be super long.

325
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:52,120
Speaker 1: ten am Eastern when we do the deep dive. This. Yeah,

326
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 1: this is a splashing around in the shell. And you

327
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 1: know this is basically you're in the shell and you're drinking.

328
00:17:56,800 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 1: Let me have a sip tomorrow or row. Yeah, we

329
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 1: dive headfirst into this game and uh and break it

330
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 1: all down. I'll see if I have anything else I

331
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 1: needed to address tonight with you guys, maybe some random notes.

332
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:16,960
Speaker 1: Oh did you notice you know they always show usually

333
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 1: ESPN games, but they always show fans walking into the

334
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 1: arena for like big games, playoff games, and when they do,

335
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:27,679
Speaker 1: they generally try and show you, hey, here's some some

336
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:30,480
Speaker 1: home fans and then here are some away fans, right,

337
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 1: I mean they always try and do that. The jersey

338
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:37,399
Speaker 1: selection that they showed us for the two shots of

339
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 1: fans like walking into the arena or in the concourse

340
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:43,480
Speaker 1: off the top of this game were amazing. The bird

341
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:48,320
Speaker 1: band Chris Anderson, we had some heat fan rock in that. Wow.

342
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:52,440
Speaker 1: I was like, holy crap. Okay, maybe not as insane though,

343
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:55,440
Speaker 1: because you know the home team, these are diehard playoff fans.

344
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 1: You're gonna have some sicko jerseys, so okay, Birdman. And

345
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:02,240
Speaker 1: then we saw what appeared to be an older woman

346
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 1: you can only see her from the back rocking the

347
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:10,199
Speaker 1: Bob Coozy. Let's go the ultimate throwback the koozy jersey

348
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 1: walking into the area. So anyway, that made me laugh

349
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:14,919
Speaker 1: and I had to throw it in on notes. Did

350
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:16,639
Speaker 1: like the little thing they did to esp had to

351
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 1: give them some credit the showing old photos of previous

352
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:23,680
Speaker 1: Heat Celtics matchups, like I think, like you know, there

353
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,639
Speaker 1: was a d Brown sighting, like I think they started

354
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:28,880
Speaker 1: in like ninety three, and then we saw Zo shot

355
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:31,960
Speaker 1: a little bit later in the nineties. And there's a

356
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 1: wage shot Jimmy Butler channeling way there getting to the

357
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 1: line tonight. That's cool. I like that little touch. Keep

358
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 1: that up. Well, maybe now they've well they didn't use

359
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:45,400
Speaker 1: them all, so maybe they'll now use more current photos.

360
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 1: Hopefully they have the Getty Images account to pull that off.

361
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:52,120
Speaker 1: Hope they didn't burn through all of their licensed photos

362
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:55,959
Speaker 1: for game one. You don't want to do that, but

363
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 1: that's all I got smart. We'll see what he's his

364
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:00,879
Speaker 1: statusus for game two, Horford. Their say already is like

365
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:05,359
Speaker 1: maybe not going to play right because of you know,

366
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:10,040
Speaker 1: COVID protocols here, which my god, this team is going

367
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:14,000
Speaker 1: to need them. I think they could obviously win this game.

368
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:16,720
Speaker 1: It can still win this series, Boston can, but we're

369
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 1: going to see the impact of him inside. Though It's

370
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:22,359
Speaker 1: not like Bam had a monster game because time Lord

371
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:25,960
Speaker 1: played really well and even Tye in his minutes wasn't

372
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 1: getting cooked or anything like that, and chipped in did

373
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:31,159
Speaker 1: shot well too, eight eight points four or five shooting,

374
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:33,920
Speaker 1: but bam with ten and four. So a quiet game

375
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:37,360
Speaker 1: from him and only four attempts from the floor got

376
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 1: to the line five times, hit four of them. But

377
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:44,679
Speaker 1: just Horford and switchability and really just being another shooter

378
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:47,879
Speaker 1: too out there that the heat have to scramble and

379
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:51,439
Speaker 1: worry about when they're switching and if you can continue

380
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:53,240
Speaker 1: to shoot like you did at least in the Bucks series.

381
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 1: But of the two, if I'm being honest, I think

382
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 1: Smart is the one they miss way more. He's their tucker,

383
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:05,879
Speaker 1: so you know he is. He's going to slow Jimmy

384
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:09,840
Speaker 1: in theory, he's going to get an offensive foul caller

385
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:12,959
Speaker 1: two on Jimmy or on one of these guards attacking

386
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 1: because he's sliding over and stepping. I mean, he's he's

387
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:19,879
Speaker 1: slick with it and he plays his ass off. So

388
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 1: I think they were missing Marcus Smart more than they

389
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:26,399
Speaker 1: were missing even Horford. They want them both back, And

390
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 1: I'm just looking at Derek White. I mean again, he

391
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:31,720
Speaker 1: started well, I thought he was sort of everywhere defensively,

392
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 1: and then holy crap, It's like he wasn't even on

393
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:36,160
Speaker 1: the floor half the time, and he took four shots,

394
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:39,920
Speaker 1: hit one, so didn't give them anything offensively. I thought

395
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:41,880
Speaker 1: he was great at the start of this game, and

396
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:44,359
Speaker 1: as he went away, I forgot he was playing Jaylen Brown.

397
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 1: The box score is going to be deceiving with him

398
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:52,239
Speaker 1: twenty four and ten three assists. How much of that

399
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 1: came in the fourth quarter when he was given his

400
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:56,399
Speaker 1: best shot to get them back in the game, and

401
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:58,960
Speaker 1: again they were sticking around. I don't have the fourth

402
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:02,199
Speaker 1: quarter breakdown. I'm not into the popcorn machine yet, but

403
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:04,359
Speaker 1: I am guessing a lot of that Joe and Brown

404
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:07,159
Speaker 1: came in the fourth quarter. So he's gonna have to

405
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:11,280
Speaker 1: be better from the jump and helping to stop the

406
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:15,360
Speaker 1: bleeding when the heat, you know, do go on these runs. Well,

407
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:17,160
Speaker 1: they have another twenty four to two run in them.

408
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 1: They've been great in third quarters here in the postseason,

409
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:23,679
Speaker 1: but that is one hell of a run against a

410
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 1: great defensive team, even if they are missing some of

411
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 1: their guys in Boston. Fun start love it, let's call

412
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:32,720
Speaker 1: it there. I don't want to keep jd up all night,

413
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:35,720
Speaker 1: and he's already going to be a little upset because

414
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 1: something happened with my recording, so we'll see if this

415
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:42,680
Speaker 1: even gets turned into an actual podcast. If not, I'll

416
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:44,440
Speaker 1: just go watch it here on YouTube, like you guys

417
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 1: are live in the stream. Team, something happened, you know,

418
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:51,400
Speaker 1: I got to update my computer because my garage band,

419
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:53,439
Speaker 1: where I just usually recorded in the background sand the

420
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:55,960
Speaker 1: follow JD just straight crapped out. It crapped out in

421
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 1: like literally thirty seconds of this game or this show.

422
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:02,960
Speaker 1: I should say, that's not great. I hope I didn't

423
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:07,160
Speaker 1: give JD just an hour extra work here, but he's

424
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:10,439
Speaker 1: up for it, I'm sure, and then he'll be super

425
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 1: super cranky in the Classic Factory tomorrow, fingers crossed. It's

426
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 1: not too bad. Thanks again to everybody for joining me

427
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:20,399
Speaker 1: here live. We will see you at ten am Eastern

428
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 1: from the Classic Factory breaking down this game, talking a

429
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:26,040
Speaker 1: little bit more about the draft lottery, you know, patting

430
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:30,959
Speaker 1: ourselves on the back for predicting the magic would win

431
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:34,000
Speaker 1: the number one pick. I guess I pulled oka, see

432
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:36,480
Speaker 1: when we just eventually all picked one. I mean, Trey

433
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:39,120
Speaker 1: was the official picker, so we did get it right.

434
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:42,320
Speaker 1: I had okay, see who you know jumped up a

435
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:43,960
Speaker 1: couple of spots to get the number two there, so

436
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 1: we'll see who's who's going to be going over one.

437
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 1: We're not draft experts, but you know, we'll try our

438
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:54,680
Speaker 1: best to relay what the experts, the actual draft experts

439
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 1: are saying at the Athletic in terms of who's going,

440
00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:01,720
Speaker 1: Where is Jabbari Number one? Over alls check go into

441
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:04,680
Speaker 1: the Thunder because they're building a bunch of super tall,

442
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:08,200
Speaker 1: lanky skeets there with Poku and hey, well we'll break

443
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 1: it all down on tomorrow's show. But thanks again for
