00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 2: about six hours on the dance floor.

Speaker 2: the weekend. We're up in Montreal. You know, not only

29
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 2: just singing on the dance floor, just a lot of

30
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 2: talking a lot, so we had a blast.

31
00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 3: Of course, very very back here.

32
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 2: Congrats to the lovebirds. We got some great basketball games

33
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 2: to talk about. I mean, we came back yesterday and

34
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 2: then two bangers. Just some shocking results really, so let's

35
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 2: get into them a little bit later. We'll do a

36
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 2: Wolves Warriors preview and also talk a little bit about

37
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 2: the Pacers beating the Kas in Game one and who

38
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 2: or who's not playing in Game two tonight for Cleveland,

39
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 2: But man, I guess. We start with Aaron Gordon splashing

40
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 2: a game winning three pointer with about three seconds to

41
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,919
Speaker 2: go as the Nuggets stunned the top seed at Thunder

42
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:34,360
Speaker 2: one nineteen. Denver closes on a nineteen to six run

43
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 2: after trailing by eleven with under five minutes to play.

44
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 3: I thought the third quarter was very important where they

45
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 3: were down double digits and they just wouldn't die. Did

46
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 3: it matter that they played forty eight hours before.

47
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:47,359
Speaker 2: No?

48
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,519
Speaker 3: Did it matter that Okay So has more depth?

49
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 5: No?

50
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 3: The way they finished that third quarter with offensive board

51
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 3: after offensive board after offensi board. They had nine offensive

52
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 3: boards in the third quarter, and they ended that third

53
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 3: quarter a seventeen to eight run. I think that really

54
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 3: just kept them in because they could have been a

55
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 3: situation where you let go of the rope, but not

56
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 3: those guys. Jokic started, he missed one, then grabbed it

57
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 3: the offensive rebound, put in and won Aaron Gordon very

58
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 3: smooth move on that free throw of Jokic walking away

59
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 3: from the free throw looking like he's going back, then

60
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 3: he does a spin to go grab the offense every round.

61
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:26,959
Speaker 3: Was it a was it a planned miss? We'll never know. No,

62
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,639
Speaker 3: it wasn't a plan miss. But also Christian Brown getting

63
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 3: after it and grabbing one, putting it back, able to

64
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 3: jump over Alex Caruso and Isaiah Joe be able to

65
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 3: be a little bit more athletic. The Okay See Biggs

66
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 3: had to sit with foul trouble because Jokic got to them,

67
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 3: and then when it came down to the end, as

68
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 3: we get to Aaron Gordon shot okay sees number two

69
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 3: and number three if you want to call him that.

70
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 3: Chet holme great and Jalen Williams just didn't come through.

71
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 3: In the last couple of minutes, chet Holmgren couldn't grab

72
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 3: an offensive board to slip through his hands. Aaron Gordon

73
00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 3: was able to grab it and go to the floor

74
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 3: go get a time out. Also in that run there

75
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 3: in the last couple of minutes, Jalen Williams drive with

76
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 3: forty five seconds left, I'm not sure what he was

77
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 3: planning on. He kind of just drove, was kind of

78
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 3: looking for a foul, then had to chuck it up,

79
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 3: missed it. And then chet Holmgren's two missed free throws

80
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 3: with nine seconds left very key right before the game winner.

81
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 3: So I just I just look at all that fight.

82
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,839
Speaker 3: Of the the big guys in Jokic had five offensive

83
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 3: board Darren Gordon had seven, and Christian Brown had four.

84
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 3: I thought that was really key to keep it close.

85
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 3: They just wouldn't die.

86
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 2: Every time Okac pushed that lead back to double digits.

87
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 2: The Nuggets like responded somehow, and it was either like

88
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 2: a big three from Gordon or Brown or like just

89
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:43,279
Speaker 2: getting to the free throw line, or a lot of

90
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:45,840
Speaker 2: the time it was yok bullyball, yes, because I mean

91
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 2: in the fourth quarner, that guy was just nuts, like

92
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:50,480
Speaker 2: just he just kept them in the game and then

93
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 2: maybe got helped out a little bit by a decision

94
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 2: for Mark Dangnall and OKC to play the foul up

95
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 2: three game. Swe don't mind the game plan. It works

96
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:01,479
Speaker 2: a lot of times, but maybe way too early in

97
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 2: doing it and just not letting enough time come off

98
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,839
Speaker 2: the clock. It was like just perplexing. In addition to

99
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 2: of course the Yokic was off the floor when they

100
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:10,280
Speaker 2: did it all that as well. But what are your

101
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 2: takeaways here?

102
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 5: Two k I think you guys nailed it. Denver never panicked.

103
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 5: You could tell that this is the more experienced team

104
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 5: between the two that are playing. Though It's not like

105
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:20,600
Speaker 5: okay See is a brand new team. This is their

106
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 5: second go through, but we've seen Denver do it before

107
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 5: and they've got so many good clutch options. Jokic finished

108
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 5: second and clutch Player of the Year. We've seen him

109
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:30,719
Speaker 5: make playoff game winners Jamal Murray was mister game winner,

110
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:32,480
Speaker 5: especially against the Lakers last year. He had too in

111
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 5: the first series. Now you got two from Aaron Gordon

112
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,280
Speaker 5: in what they played eight playoff games so far. Pretty

113
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 5: impressive stuff. But okay, see's still up nine points with

114
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 5: two minutes and fifty seconds left, Chase having a good game,

115
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:45,720
Speaker 5: Like you could be thinking, okay, so he's going to

116
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 5: take this to win. But yeah, they run a two

117
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,720
Speaker 5: man game with Murray and Jokic as always Thunder or

118
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:54,720
Speaker 5: trying some funky stuff. It ends up being Sga guarding Jokic,

119
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 5: just walks him down, draws a foul, No big deal.

120
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 5: Two minutes left, same thing. It ends up being Caruso,

121
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 5: the guy who ends up on Jokic. Better matchup for

122
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 5: the Thunder for sure. Cruso was awesome yesterday. Instead, Jokis

123
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 5: just meanders down the lane, hits him with a hook.

124
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 5: Then a minute fifteen seconds left, pick and roll. Don't

125
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 5: switch this time. It ends up being Hartenstein guarding Jokic

126
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 5: out on the three point line. Fakes eighteen thousand times.

127
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 5: They just dropped the three over his head. It was

128
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 5: great stuff that left me with a big time appreciation

129
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 5: for Aviza zubats Yokic topped out at thirty six and

130
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 5: twenty one against the Clippers averaged twenty four, eleven and ten,

131
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 5: and then in Game one against OKC forty two twenty two.

132
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 5: That's a lot of roast beef. Don't even have to

133
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 5: do a voice for it right now, and then six assists.

134
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 5: You just saw how light in the jeans Chet Holmgren

135
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 5: and Isaiah Hartenstein where they both got into foul trouble.

136
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 5: They both had basically a half to try and stop

137
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 5: Jokic and neither of them could do it. And Jokic

138
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 5: knew he had the advantage. Twenty nine field goal attempts.

139
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 5: That's a ton of shots. Certainly the thunder were trying

140
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 5: to make him a scorer, but he wasn't just settling

141
00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 5: for three pointers.

142
00:06:58,000 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 4: He took six of them.

143
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 5: And like I said earlier, anytime he saw the matchup

144
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:03,599
Speaker 5: of there's a little guy on me, I am going

145
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 5: to the hoop, gonna draw free throws or score easily inside,

146
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 5: not to mention all of the offensive rebounding, you could

147
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 5: tell he was the biggest dude out there.

148
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, and pretty impressive that he did what like the

149
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 2: final eighteen minutes of this game in foul trouble the

150
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 2: Kilkic did you know so had that was an issue,

151
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 2: but of course you just had to continue to go

152
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 2: through him, but didn't follow out of this game. What

153
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 2: do you think of the decision of okay see with

154
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 2: the fouling up three and when they did it, how

155
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 2: they did it, and how many times they did it.

156
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 3: It felt soon, it felt early. That's my biggest takeaway

157
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 3: from it. Why not wait a little bit more, that's all.

158
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was too fast through first time they did

159
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 5: it was three. They were up three filed with twelve

160
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 5: point nine seconds left. That's Jokic hitting two free throws,

161
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 5: the thunder run, the perfect inbounds, out of bounds play,

162
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 5: sideline out of bounds, easy layup for shake Gil just Alexander.

163
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,559
Speaker 5: They get the ball in right away again the foul

164
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 5: ten point seven seconds instantly Yoka just sitting on the bench.

165
00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 5: He would have not been able to come back in.

166
00:07:58,480 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 5: It's not like he ended up winning him this game

167
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 5: the last ten seconds, but come on, you're taking your

168
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 5: chances with him sitting on the other side. Then of

169
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 5: course Chat misses his free throws, and then honestly, the

170
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 5: three pointer Aaron Gordon got way too easy. That looked

171
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 5: like a possession from the second quarter of a game.

172
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 5: How they were able to get the ball up court.

173
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 5: Maybe they weren't inspecting him to shoot a three in

174
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 5: that scenario, but certainly Dignall botched it a little bit.

175
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 5: He should have said, we're not fouling under ten seconds

176
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 5: or over ten seconds. Let him bring the ball up

177
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 5: a little bit and then file.

178
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're fouling ninety feet away from their rim with

179
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 2: his like back turn. It's like they gotta let them

180
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:33,960
Speaker 2: dribble around a couple seconds, then put the pressure on

181
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:36,559
Speaker 2: try for the steal. You'll get it obviously. Then you've

182
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 2: done the foul and you go from there. But it

183
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 2: was like, yeah, you said a couple seconds in both

184
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:42,959
Speaker 2: of these instances came off the clock. Yeah, you're just

185
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 2: doing it too early. Yeah, so maybe the right idea,

186
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:47,680
Speaker 2: and he said, like, we do this, this is our thing,

187
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 2: We're confident in it. We got great free throw shooters. Obviously,

188
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,719
Speaker 2: chet missus two and that's huge different outcome if he

189
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 2: hits maybe even one. But yeah, just like the way

190
00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 2: they did it was just poor execution.

191
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, and also just a strange challenge with four and

192
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 3: a half minutes left. I still don't understand that call

193
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:12,319
Speaker 3: where they challenged Jokic getting hit by Shay Giljos Alexander

194
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 3: after a defensive rebound and just trying to pass the ball,

195
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:19,680
Speaker 3: and then Jokic secured the ball and then turned it

196
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:23,559
Speaker 3: over afterwards. So it's just weird that Shay would ran

197
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 3: up to h dug Nut and said, don't challenge it,

198
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 3: don't challenge it. He challenges it, and it's just a

199
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 3: weird call in that. Yes, he got smacked, but he

200
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 3: did secure the ball and then threw it away. So yeah,

201
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 3: last few minutes kind of strange. The space that Aaron

202
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 3: Gordon had on that shot though, also extremely confusing. They're

203
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 3: just too good. They're too good to allow that much

204
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 3: space for a guy to shoot a shot like yeah, I.

205
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 5: Mean, look, maybe work is out there, but he's probably

206
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 5: the number two guy you want taking a three in

207
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 5: that scenario.

208
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 4: Though apparently Aaron Gordon now lives in a gym. I

209
00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:57,840
Speaker 4: didn't know this.

210
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:00,120
Speaker 5: I saw it on ESPN this morning, maybe so I'm

211
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:02,319
Speaker 5: of twenty twenty three. He moved into a warehouse turn

212
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:04,559
Speaker 5: it into a gym that is also his house. So

213
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:06,320
Speaker 5: when he wakes uping, he just goes and shoots, and

214
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 5: now he's a forty percent three point shooter. Sounds like

215
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 5: every NBA player should do that. Live in a gym, literally,

216
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:13,840
Speaker 5: and he'll be a good three point shooter. But still,

217
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 5: the look was way too easy. Chat was rattled. There's

218
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:17,599
Speaker 5: no other way around it.

219
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 4: He got completely punked by Jokic for the majority of

220
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:20,439
Speaker 4: the game.

221
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 5: He missed two free throws and then he got a

222
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 5: jumper hit in his face. This was a bad game

223
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:24,320
Speaker 5: for Chethold.

224
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 2: No, oh, yeah it was. It absolutely was. Maybe they

225
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:29,840
Speaker 2: also thought there's no way Westbrook passes this true, this

226
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 2: guy in transition against his old team, in his old barn,

227
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:35,840
Speaker 2: he's taking it. He's either pulling up for three or

228
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 2: he's going to try and attack the rim. Maybe he

229
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 2: misses another layup, but no, I mean, what a brilliant pass,

230
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 2: obviously right in rhythm for ag to knock it down,

231
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:44,959
Speaker 2: and like another game winner from this guy. You already

232
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,960
Speaker 2: said it, like obviously that one which maybe save that

233
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 2: series against the Clips that would have gone to overtime.

234
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 2: So who knows what happens, But I mean, a huge,

235
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 2: huge win to tie that series too two they win

236
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 2: in seven. Now he's done it again here and the

237
00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 2: winner of game one's in a best of seven series

238
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:01,560
Speaker 2: historically one to win seventy seven percent of the time.

239
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:03,199
Speaker 2: I'm not saying that's gonna happen. Here feels it will

240
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 2: be a long series. You're gonna have to figure out

241
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 2: how to stop your kisch because I like that he is, like, Oh,

242
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 2: I just have to be a monster if we're gonna

243
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 2: win this series. I've got to be a monster. And

244
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:13,200
Speaker 2: he's gonna take a lot of shots. And he's obviously

245
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:16,480
Speaker 2: gonna do the bullyball. But Aaron Gordon twenty two and fourteen, Man,

246
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:19,319
Speaker 2: this guy, I guess Yeah, living in living in a

247
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 2: gym is the way to go. You might have to

248
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 2: try it.

249
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, in town Stars went bankrupt recently. A bunch of

250
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 5: guys from basketball wanted to buy it and turn it

251
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,320
Speaker 5: into a basketball gym. But I'm actually just gonna move in. Yeah,

252
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 5: live in fifteen thousand square feet.

253
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 2: Are you concerned here? If you're okay? See uh obviously

254
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 2: dropping Game one here in a game where the Nuggets,

255
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:42,560
Speaker 2: let's point this out, they shoot twenty nine percent from three, Like,

256
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 2: not good? They turned the bolliver something like eighteen times

257
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:48,959
Speaker 2: led to a lot of OKC easy points twenty three.

258
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 2: I believe, you know, Michael Porton junior, you know, nothing

259
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:54,320
Speaker 2: really from him, and they and they still won. They

260
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 2: still pull this out. I mean, are you is that

261
00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 2: a reason for concern? If you're okay?

262
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 3: See the whole Hey, this team is so young. They

263
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:06,199
Speaker 3: got to do it in the playoffs. Thing proved true

264
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 3: in this game. I know they have been there last

265
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 3: year and the year before that, but now that there

266
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 3: are some serious expectations going sixty eight and fourteen, I

267
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:17,440
Speaker 3: think it does make you worry a little bit. Chet

268
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:20,959
Speaker 3: Ongridges didn't have a good game, didn't close very well,

269
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:24,720
Speaker 3: while the other team showed that even with Michael porter

270
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:27,199
Speaker 3: Junior not even running after a basketball when it's passed

271
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 3: to the mid court line, he goes over and back.

272
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 3: He had a terrible game. And somehow they overcome that

273
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,720
Speaker 3: despite not having a ton of depth. You know, Peyton

274
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:38,320
Speaker 3: Watson was fine off the bench to go along with

275
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:40,840
Speaker 3: Russell Westbrook coming off the bench. But they really had

276
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:41,560
Speaker 3: to play their guys.

277
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 2: It's like six guys.

278
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 3: It is, yeah for the most part, yeah and a half.

279
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 3: But you might like check didn't come through and Isaiah

280
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 3: Joe went o first, so they had to sit him.

281
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 3: So diagnaut's playing things. But they just they didn't come through.

282
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 3: They really didn't. And I mentioned Jalen Williams is misshot.

283
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 3: I mean we're not talking about him going five to

284
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 3: twenty two of nine in this that's super important. I mean,

285
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 3: you just have to come through. So you got this arena,

286
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 3: you have expectations that other team didn't die. Yeah, that's it,

287
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 3: So I expect a long series though either way I

288
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 3: can go.

289
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 5: There's a lot of stuff to clean up for Oka. See,

290
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:16,440
Speaker 5: they can't give up twenty one offensive rebounds. That's like

291
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 5: step one in the how to beat Oklahoma City playbook

292
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:21,679
Speaker 5: is kill him on the glass. Obviously the Nuggets were

293
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:23,840
Speaker 5: able to do that. Okay, see outshot him from three.

294
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 5: That's like step number two. You got to outshoot the Thunder.

295
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:30,320
Speaker 5: But twenty seven free throws for Denver only twenty for OKC,

296
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 5: So that kind of mitigated the damage that the Thunder

297
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:34,319
Speaker 5: were doing from the three point line.

298
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 4: And then they got to have their second and third

299
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 4: guys do anything.

300
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 5: Five of twenty from Jalen Williams, you went two of

301
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:41,680
Speaker 5: thirteen in the second half, and the thing that should

302
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:45,839
Speaker 5: concern the Thunder is that Denver doesn't respect his jumper

303
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:47,960
Speaker 5: at all. They were playing off him totally. Went two

304
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 5: of nine from three, didn't make a mid range jumper.

305
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 5: He wasn't trusting it. So he's playing in a crowd

306
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 5: at the rim. Got a shot blocked by Jokic, once,

307
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:57,679
Speaker 5: got a shot blocked by Peyton Watson once missed several

308
00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:00,720
Speaker 5: times at the rim. Just wasn't able to take advantage

309
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 5: of being the big size guy because he's going up

310
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:05,080
Speaker 5: against Aaron Gordon. Aaron Gordon's bigger and stronger than Jalen

311
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 5: Williams is. So they got to figure out a way

312
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 5: for Chet to do something. They got to get Jayalen

313
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:10,839
Speaker 5: Williams going a little bit, because if you get in

314
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 5: performance like you got from Shay, you should probably win

315
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 5: that one at home. Considering you're up ten with like

316
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 5: three minutes left, that should be a win. But the

317
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 5: deaf guys really didn't come through either. Caruso was incredible

318
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 5: in this game. Twenty points, six assists, five steals, two blocks.

319
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 5: At the start of the third quarter, he had a steal,

320
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 5: went for the layup I and Eagle.

321
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:34,440
Speaker 4: Eell's cookies and milk. I was a little surprised by

322
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 4: the addition of milk.

323
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 5: Is it because he's a white gentleman, or because it

324
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 5: was a boring layuping shot.

325
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 4: I don't know what it was, but they need something

326
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 4: from him.

327
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 5: And then you look at the deeper depth guys, Wallace Wiggins,

328
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 5: Joe Jalen Williams the other one. He made a three,

329
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 5: but the other guys were like basically invisible. This is

330
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 5: why I always say depth doesn't actually matter in the playoffs.

331
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 5: Both teams got performances from their top six guys and

332
00:14:57,440 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 5: that's it.

333
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 2: And as the game went on, I think with the

334
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 2: way like SGA sort of doing the heavy lifting, you

335
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 2: started noticing it was like they just started pinching at

336
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 2: the corners. The Nuggets defense did take away as much

337
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:09,960
Speaker 2: as possible space from SG and like anybody else beat us.

338
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 2: And I'm going with what you're saying there, TK, It's like,

339
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 2: we don't really trust that Jdub's gonna do this or

340
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 2: even Chet at least in this game, and they're gonna

341
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 2: have to. One of those guys in these games is

342
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 2: gonna have to come through, and they probably will but

343
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 2: it is a little reminiscent of a poor JDub series

344
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 2: last year when they went out in the second round.

345
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 2: He was not good in that series. He was a

346
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 2: little mia maybe on missing a person on a milk

347
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 2: cart and to bring it back to that, so it's

348
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 2: chocolate milk maybe. But yeah, those guys have to be

349
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 2: much much better here, and I think they will. I do.

350
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, you think their leader coming off the bench, like

351
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 3: Galux screw so want a championship, would rub off on

352
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 3: those guys because he was fantastic, ridiculously fantastic. So hopefully

353
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 3: it trickles down, but there's just, yeah, too many things

354
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 3: to clean up. The offensive rebounds led to twenty seven

355
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 3: second chance points for the Nuggets. It's a freaking lot.

356
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 3: And then on your side, if you're okay, see you

357
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:02,360
Speaker 3: missed a lot of freaking free throws. I mean they

358
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:03,160
Speaker 3: didn't shoot.

359
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 2: I guess, and the yeah, yeah, I can think of two.

360
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 4: They would like to have specifically.

361
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know that's sort of his like free throw motion,

362
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 2: but Chut Hongman like waits, there's like that giant pause

363
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 2: where you were like, did somebody unplug his controller? Do

364
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 2: you know what I'm talking about he was like that

365
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 2: just stops or you're like, okay, man, shoot it. Yeah,

366
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 2: missing both of those, He's like, a he's pretty good

367
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 2: due free throw shooter for a big guy, for sure.

368
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 2: So that was pretty shocking. But Yo, kics Man only

369
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 2: the fourth player in NBA history to record the twenty

370
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 2: excuse me, forty twenty and five stat line. It's Will Chamberlain,

371
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 2: It's Shack, it's Yannis, and now it's Yokich. George mckinnis

372
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 2: also did it aby eight days. Okay, okay, but thank you? Awesome?

373
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 3: Anything good to know that?

374
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:51,280
Speaker 2: Yes, of course, anything else from this.

375
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 4: One, Uh yeah.

376
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:55,480
Speaker 5: I thought Denver dominated in transition. It looked like they

377
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 5: were playing fast break basketball all night long. In reality,

378
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 5: it turns out okay See won the fast eight points

379
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 5: twenty seven to twenty four. But I still think twenty

380
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:06,639
Speaker 5: four is too many for Denver from Okac's perspective. Make

381
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:08,879
Speaker 5: him settle down and play against your set defense. That

382
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,680
Speaker 5: was a huge thing that tilted the Nuggets way I thought.

383
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 5: And then Eric Gordon had that dunk through chat Holmegrin.

384
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 4: That was awesome.

385
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 5: I had watch that several times to be like, was

386
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:19,639
Speaker 5: it a thrunk kind of yeah, the ball lays his

387
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:21,240
Speaker 5: hands for a second, but very powerful.

388
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:24,359
Speaker 2: And then finally, how about the clip they showed on

389
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 2: the broadcast Yo Kic screaming at the boys and those

390
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:32,159
Speaker 2: coaching them. It appeared to like saw some things wanted

391
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 2: them to implement and was trying to like we're still

392
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:36,720
Speaker 2: in this, let's go. Yeah, so that clip making the

393
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:39,159
Speaker 2: rounds like it sort of just illustrates what we were

394
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 2: joking about when Malone got fired and it was like, wow,

395
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 2: that's okay. Maybe he just is the coach. David Element's there,

396
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:46,399
Speaker 2: he's calling plays, I get it. But still it's like

397
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 2: he is fired.

398
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 3: Up this new level ki it is We've never seen

399
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:52,920
Speaker 3: that type of leadership. Oh yeah, yeah he is there,

400
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:57,919
Speaker 3: Bruce Brown, they need somebody. Yeah, he's taking it to

401
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:00,440
Speaker 3: another level. I know. Iron Eagle said during the badcast

402
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:04,320
Speaker 3: that that may have been overplayed after the last series

403
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 3: that you'll get just the vocal.

404
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:08,960
Speaker 2: Guy, but get that clip.

405
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:10,920
Speaker 3: You just got it once. You just need your Tim

406
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:11,880
Speaker 3: Duncan yell once.

407
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:15,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a lot of weight. Yeah, and everyone looked

408
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 2: pretty damn attentive to me when he was Jordan was

409
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:21,120
Speaker 2: locked in like eyes wide open.

410
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:23,879
Speaker 4: He didn't even play. He's like, I gotta hear this.

411
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:29,120
Speaker 2: This is good, so really really exciting game. It felt

412
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:30,920
Speaker 2: like a million times like okay, see he was gonna

413
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 2: put it to bed, and like you said, Denver just

414
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:34,880
Speaker 2: would not let go of the rope. And now things

415
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:37,240
Speaker 2: get interesting in a lot of these series, right so far,

416
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:40,200
Speaker 2: the road team winning all three game ones, and maybe

417
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:42,360
Speaker 2: make it four here tonight if the Warriors can win

418
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:43,160
Speaker 2: in Minnesota.

419
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 5: Love it when a series starts in game one, Oh

420
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:47,920
Speaker 5: yes I do. Sometimes you gotta wait till game three

421
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 5: and not now, not now? Are these ones?

422
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:55,119
Speaker 2: Let's talk about the Knicks started doing something similar. For

423
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:58,240
Speaker 2: being honest, they come back from twenty down. They beat

424
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:00,359
Speaker 2: the Celtics one awight, one O five. They had to

425
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 2: play five extra minutes litt free basketball last night, so

426
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:05,639
Speaker 2: they went in overtime and they take game one and

427
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 2: task like I mean, the big takeaway from this is

428
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:13,160
Speaker 2: how many threes the Celtics took in this game, sixty

429
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 2: three point attempts, forty five of them they missed, so

430
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 2: fifteen of sixty from deep, and like that third quarter

431
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 2: of the one, everybody pointing out nineteen of their twenty

432
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:26,160
Speaker 2: shots was a three that was unbelievable, So a whole

433
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:28,200
Speaker 2: bunch as the game went on, and they just went

434
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:30,680
Speaker 2: ice cold for a good stretch of it. And man,

435
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 2: the Knicks just like just like Denver Relli in a way,

436
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:36,120
Speaker 2: just would not let go of the rope and continued

437
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 2: to like, we have time, we can get back in

438
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 2: this game and made some big plays.

439
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:40,959
Speaker 3: But oh they did, they did. I had to go

440
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:43,879
Speaker 3: back and watch those third quarter minutes wondering what happened

441
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:47,119
Speaker 3: to the Celtic shooting. But really, they shot fine. They

442
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 3: shot sort of league average. In the third quarter, they

443
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 3: hit seven of their three, so almost half their threes

444
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:53,200
Speaker 3: they made were in that one quarter. They shot seven

445
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 3: of nineteen. But yeah, that's bad. Yeah, it's fine. I

446
00:19:56,800 --> 00:20:00,640
Speaker 3: mean in the fourth quarter was even worse. Yes, that

447
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 3: Jason Tatum going over in that quarter, And I thought,

448
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:06,119
Speaker 3: you know, you've got last couple of minutes, You've got

449
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:10,480
Speaker 3: Brunton on you twice, and then you have Al Horford

450
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:13,159
Speaker 3: on you. You literally could find an easier part of the

451
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:16,320
Speaker 3: floor to go to and shoot a shot. Mitchell, Yes,

452
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 3: Mitchell right, and not Al they played for the same team, Yes,

453
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:24,919
Speaker 3: for sure, I thought the Knicks. Literally, I thought, we

454
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:26,920
Speaker 3: all thought, watching the Boston Celtics up twenty in the

455
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 3: third quarter, Okay, here it comes. I mean, this is

456
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 3: basically it. But Josh Art wouldn't let his team die.

457
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 3: Absolutely no. He did so many things in the third

458
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 3: quarter and the fourth quarter where he played every single minute.

459
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 3: Of course he does down twenty, I look like, here

460
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:46,600
Speaker 3: come the Celtics barrage of shots. But josh Hart had

461
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:49,520
Speaker 3: a three. Then he stole ball in the passing lane,

462
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 3: jumping in there. Then he stole a ball from Paint

463
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:53,160
Speaker 3: Pritchard who was on his back. He just said, give

464
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:55,920
Speaker 3: me that frickin thing. Then he got a rebound led

465
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:59,200
Speaker 3: to og fastbreak score. In the fourth quarter, he set

466
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:01,680
Speaker 3: up Towns for a bat with an offensive board tip

467
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:04,640
Speaker 3: that I don't think is really given to Josh Hart

468
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 3: and the box score. But he just did so much,

469
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 3: especially after what you saw in the first halfway. The

470
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:14,520
Speaker 3: Knicks made a bunch of mistakes over and over. I mean,

471
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 3: Josh Hart one of them trying to pass it to

472
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 3: Karl Anthony Towns, or Karl Anthony Town's not shooting the

473
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 3: ball at the end of the first court. There's just

474
00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:23,280
Speaker 3: so many plays, but still they still fought. That was

475
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 3: the winning thing for me to get them to overtime

476
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 3: where there's so many good plays from the Knicks, obviously

477
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 3: your brunts and is your bridges, your steals and bridges

478
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:34,160
Speaker 3: was just awesome playing fifty one minutes and still coming

479
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 3: through with a key the key steel where it's so

480
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 3: cool to see him just run directly to Jalen Brown,

481
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:43,679
Speaker 3: back to the whole thing, back to the ball and

482
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:46,080
Speaker 3: still able to just snatch it from him. Give me

483
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 3: so yeah, awesome.

484
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:50,440
Speaker 2: How many three are playing attempts? Is too many? Three

485
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 2: by attempts? Is when everybody's wondering here, like it was

486
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:55,479
Speaker 2: a little insane. Jaylen Brown after the game said, in

487
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:58,399
Speaker 2: those spots where they have momentum, we can't just fire

488
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:01,280
Speaker 2: up threestly. It felt like we just settled in the

489
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:03,400
Speaker 2: second half a lot, and that's I think a part

490
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:05,280
Speaker 2: of it. Like being up twenty and holding on to

491
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:06,920
Speaker 2: a big lead for majority game and it's like, aah,

492
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,399
Speaker 2: one more two threes, this game's over. But they when

493
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:11,920
Speaker 2: I was cold over the stretch and then allowed the

494
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:13,720
Speaker 2: obviously the Knicks get back into it.

495
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:15,280
Speaker 5: It felt like the Celtics were trying to put me

496
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:17,159
Speaker 5: to bed in the third quarter. They're like, we got

497
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:19,120
Speaker 5: a twenty point lead and we're gonna keep bombing away

498
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 5: to hopefully get up thirty and then this.

499
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:22,159
Speaker 4: Game so I can go to sleep and get my

500
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:22,720
Speaker 4: voice back.

501
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 5: But turns out it was the twenty twenty two to

502
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:27,399
Speaker 5: twenty three Celtics all over a game. This felt like

503
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:29,640
Speaker 5: a game they used to lose all the time, where

504
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:31,879
Speaker 5: they get up big and then they just can't stop

505
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:34,679
Speaker 5: shooting threes. It was seventy two to fifty two with

506
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 5: six twenty left in the third quarter, so basically twenty

507
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 5: three minutes remaining twenty nine to the next forty shots

508
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:43,600
Speaker 5: for Boston were three pointers. It felt like a pickup

509
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 5: basketball game. You're playing two eleven, you've got nine. Nobody

510
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:49,639
Speaker 5: will take a one. Yeah, it's impossible. We're only taking

511
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:52,040
Speaker 5: two and everybody wants the walk off shot. And that's

512
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:54,199
Speaker 5: kind of what it felt like. I'm totally with you.

513
00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:56,960
Speaker 5: Tatum needs to be much better attacking mis matches. He

514
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:58,439
Speaker 5: can be a bit of a Derek zoo Lander. He's

515
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:01,120
Speaker 5: only got one move. He's going loose steel all the time.

516
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:03,960
Speaker 5: It's the step back three. Every single time he did

517
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:05,600
Speaker 5: have another move back in the day was the fade

518
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:06,679
Speaker 5: away from the mid.

519
00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:08,879
Speaker 4: Range, and people hated that as well, but we got to.

520
00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 5: See magnum when you've got Jalen Brunson on you, when

521
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 5: you've got Mitchell Robinson to the whim and draw foul.

522
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:19,200
Speaker 5: He did it a lot against the Magic. In game five,

523
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:21,440
Speaker 5: I remember like Tatum basically.

524
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:21,600
Speaker 4: Shut the door.

525
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:23,640
Speaker 5: He was like, what thirty five, thirty six, thirty seven

526
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 5: the last three games, get into the hoop, getting inside,

527
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:29,560
Speaker 5: But he obviously just didn't have it, and a little

528
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:31,120
Speaker 5: bit of I think credit.

529
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:31,639
Speaker 4: To the Knicks defense.

530
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:33,679
Speaker 5: In the first thirty minutes of the game, they allowed

531
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:35,920
Speaker 5: twenty three throw attempts for seven turnovers.

532
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 4: Not great.

533
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:39,119
Speaker 5: Last twenty three minutes for six turnovers only put the

534
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:43,119
Speaker 5: Celtics on the line six times. That was humongous, and Brunton.

535
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:43,720
Speaker 4: Actually had a buddy.

536
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 5: He was awesome in the fourth quarter and overtime scored

537
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:50,399
Speaker 5: eighteen points. A couple of sais, couple of turnovers, but

538
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 5: Ognano be twenty one in the second half basically for

539
00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:55,720
Speaker 5: a six foot three and I didn't think any of

540
00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:58,360
Speaker 5: them were going in until the corner one. His release

541
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:01,119
Speaker 5: doesn't inspire a lot of confidence because he shoots it

542
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 5: and then he like chases it a little bit and

543
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 5: it's like, oh, that doesn't look like it's gonna go in.

544
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:08,879
Speaker 4: But he finally he was making him. He was incredible.

545
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:13,160
Speaker 5: Bridges made plays, heart made plays basically outside of Towns,

546
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:16,400
Speaker 5: who did some decent stuff. I thought later in the game,

547
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:19,760
Speaker 5: made a nice play here and there. They got performances

548
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 5: from everybody. So that's a huge win for the next

549
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:25,760
Speaker 5: to be down twenty a frustrating Towns game. Brunson missed

550
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 5: an easy game winner at.

551
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:29,080
Speaker 4: The end of regulation. Probably didn't expect to be that

552
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:31,439
Speaker 4: open and to still win in an overtime. That's awesome.

553
00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:34,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, and now we wait to see what will port

554
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:36,120
Speaker 2: Ziggis be back for game two here too, because him

555
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:37,840
Speaker 2: leaving this game had an impact on it. I mean

556
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:40,400
Speaker 2: it allowed like Karl Anthony Towns to have a little

557
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 2: bit of a breathing room. Not that Porziggis was playing well,

558
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:44,560
Speaker 2: like they were trying to get the ball to him

559
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:46,960
Speaker 2: and it was always ending like a turnover or like

560
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:49,400
Speaker 2: a misshot. I mean he was obviously he had this illness.

561
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:51,360
Speaker 2: He didn't play in the second half. I think their

562
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 2: shot diet looks a little bit better if he is

563
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:57,320
Speaker 2: out there. Maybe it's sixty three point attempts, a little

564
00:24:57,320 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 2: bit more inside or a little mid range game from him.

565
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:02,680
Speaker 2: But we'll see. I've been saying it forever. They need

566
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:04,480
Speaker 2: Porzingis to win a title, to go back to back,

567
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:06,800
Speaker 2: I think so. I'm sure he'll be better for Game two.

568
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:09,639
Speaker 2: But it's crazy. I thought this one was a rap.

569
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:12,440
Speaker 2: It felt like it was six minutes like thirty, like, oh,

570
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:15,240
Speaker 2: this one's gonna be over. Maybe maybe we even get

571
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:18,119
Speaker 2: the classic like cut it to six and then the

572
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 2: team sort of like closes the door. But man, just

573
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:23,120
Speaker 2: big shots from these guys, especially Brunson. Those two threes

574
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 2: were awesome.

575
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:25,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, it looked like he was going to finish it

576
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 3: at the end of regulation because I loved what Tibueau called.

577
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:31,480
Speaker 3: They called it a dummy play because they knew that

578
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:35,399
Speaker 3: the Celtics were intentionally fouling, so they just changed it up.

579
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:40,600
Speaker 3: Here comes Bridges into Josh Hart. Then after the intentional foul,

580
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:42,679
Speaker 3: you get the the give and go with Jylen Brunson

581
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:46,240
Speaker 3: inbound and a cat a beauty. Look, how could that miss?

582
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:48,280
Speaker 2: He was so shocked it didn't go in.

583
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:49,119
Speaker 3: Yeah he was.

584
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:51,760
Speaker 2: He was like, dumbfoul, Like howd that go in?

585
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 3: Yeah he was. He was super mad. I think that

586
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:55,920
Speaker 3: the problem with the Celtics shooting the threes is that

587
00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:59,080
Speaker 3: they kind of just stopped defensively a little bit. You

588
00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 3: see Ojan and ob outrun the team frankly too many

589
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:05,879
Speaker 3: times in the second those those cherry pick baskets running

590
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 3: on fast breaks that just shouldn't happen. You shouldn't be

591
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:11,240
Speaker 3: back door and winning on fast breaks like that. That's

592
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 3: the there's It definitely affects their defense and that was

593
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:20,879
Speaker 3: the issue for me watching them after shot after shoft

594
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:22,960
Speaker 3: or shoft or shot, because you know, it looks it

595
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:25,399
Speaker 3: seemed like the first half was so bad, precious that

596
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:29,160
Speaker 3: she was playing twice he playing. But somehow they turned

597
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 3: around in that third quarter where they literally didn't die.

598
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:37,120
Speaker 3: And Josh Hart, you're not a stupid spectacular box score.

599
00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:40,000
Speaker 3: I take it back. It's got fourteen to eleven boards,

600
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:42,639
Speaker 3: three assists and two steals. But man, the life on

601
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:45,720
Speaker 3: that guy. He is such a TIBs guy helping them out.

602
00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:47,920
Speaker 3: And then Og was monstrous.

603
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:52,040
Speaker 2: That may be OG's best playoff game ever. Maybe it's

604
00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:54,720
Speaker 2: gotta be top three. I know. It's the highest points

605
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:56,439
Speaker 2: he scored. He played a ton of minutes. He had

606
00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:57,800
Speaker 2: one game where he scored a ton of points in

607
00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:00,280
Speaker 2: limited minutes. He had a game winner one against the Yeah,

608
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:01,080
Speaker 2: oh yeah, that too.

609
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:04,160
Speaker 3: But he had never he had never scored over four

610
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:07,920
Speaker 3: or six, over fifteen points against the Boston Celtics. Ever.

611
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:10,680
Speaker 4: Wow, it was really straight supprissing.

612
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:13,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, then this is a great game. Twenty nine points,

613
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:16,600
Speaker 2: twenty three minutes, six of eleven from deep, four boards,

614
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 2: three assists, one steal, only one foul too. Is obviously

615
00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:20,440
Speaker 2: up there for defensive purposes.

616
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:22,880
Speaker 5: On the J's I thought he was going to break

617
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:24,439
Speaker 5: his neck on the dunk. Oh yeah, he got that

618
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:26,840
Speaker 5: fast break dunk with like two thirty left in overtime,

619
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:28,959
Speaker 5: hung on the rim, and I don't know who's behind him,

620
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 5: Tatum Maybe. I think Tatum fouls him and OJ's legs

621
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:35,200
Speaker 5: go way up underneath him. He held onto the rim.

622
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 5: He's strong, But that was a scary looking moment.

623
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:41,840
Speaker 2: That was the one off of Bridges steal in the corner,

624
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:43,440
Speaker 2: but he saved it in front of his own bench,

625
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 2: and that like got them in transition. That led to

626
00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:45,880
Speaker 2: the og.

627
00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, Bridges looked ray too.

628
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:49,280
Speaker 2: And went yeah for a game in which he shot bad.

629
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:50,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, he was clutch.

630
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 2: I mean all the defensive plays.

631
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 5: Made, a lot of defensive players made a three and

632
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:55,360
Speaker 5: came out with a new celebration.

633
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 4: He was like, he's like covering his face. Yeah, looking

634
00:27:57,880 --> 00:27:59,920
Speaker 4: around it. We didn't get a good angle of it.

635
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:01,920
Speaker 5: No, I didn't think, but I mean he's been going

636
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 5: with like a Manny Machado for a long time.

637
00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 4: So good to see innovation late into the playoffs.

638
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:09,320
Speaker 2: It's almost like he didn't know what he was doing.

639
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:13,120
Speaker 2: There started eyes, but then it went more mouth. Yeah,

640
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:14,480
Speaker 2: it was weird. We'll see it again.

641
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, And he got hurt after he blocked porsingis like

642
00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:21,240
Speaker 3: he was shaken up fifty one minutes. No big, I

643
00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:24,200
Speaker 3: mean he stays out there while porzingis. It is a

644
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:26,880
Speaker 3: little strange that it was an illness. And we had

645
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:29,320
Speaker 3: that run in March where he missed eight traight games

646
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:34,399
Speaker 3: two weeks where they determine at the end after a

647
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:38,520
Speaker 3: long time that it was upper respiratory Cornelli LaForce yesterday.

648
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:40,040
Speaker 3: But while it was good, while it was happening during

649
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:43,640
Speaker 3: those two weeks, nobody knew nobody really knew no, So yeah,

650
00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 3: that's an interesting, interesting one. But has anybody taken the

651
00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:49,760
Speaker 3: New York Knicks to win this series now after.

652
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:53,240
Speaker 4: A key win, a big win.

653
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 5: Court just like that, I think the Celtics should be

654
00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 5: more confident than the thunder are. They have to think,

655
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:00,719
Speaker 5: we're not going to shoot twenty five percent from three

656
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:04,960
Speaker 5: in another game and we'll probably get pourcing its back. Yeah,

657
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:06,840
Speaker 5: so I think the Celtic should still be confident.

658
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:08,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, And then like and like you guy brought up

659
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:11,160
Speaker 2: a couple times like the whole like there are instances

660
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:13,720
Speaker 2: where Tatum should have attacked he should have and Brown

661
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:15,440
Speaker 2: for that matter too, Like it was like, okay, man,

662
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:18,160
Speaker 2: it's the three's not really dropping for you today, So

663
00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:19,959
Speaker 2: like put some pressure on the rim when he had

664
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:22,520
Speaker 2: Mitchell Robinson up top and everybody's faced out because they

665
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 2: got all five shooters out there, so like nobody's in

666
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:26,880
Speaker 2: the paint. You can't tell me you can't get by

667
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:29,560
Speaker 2: Mitchell Robinson, can't get him on your hip, and obviously

668
00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:32,120
Speaker 2: he's still gonna recover, and he's obviously a lengthy guy

669
00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:33,640
Speaker 2: and stuff. But I'm sure a couple of bump thaks

670
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:35,800
Speaker 2: you're gonna get me in the line. So did you

671
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:38,200
Speaker 2: see Derek White's big rebound with like twenty eight seconds

672
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 2: to go in regulation? Huge ass board. It was a

673
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 2: rebound highlight. Even Reggie was pointing that out. But then

674
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:47,560
Speaker 2: did you see Joe Mizzoula truck into the referee when

675
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:49,719
Speaker 2: he was trying to call a timeout because White hit

676
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:52,160
Speaker 2: the floor and obviously was holding onto the ball. He

677
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 2: just kneels into the ref like they both sort of

678
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:56,880
Speaker 2: not like really looking at each other. He's trying to

679
00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:58,479
Speaker 2: get out there to call it, and he got it

680
00:29:58,520 --> 00:29:59,760
Speaker 2: straight trucked him.

681
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:02,080
Speaker 5: You gotta be careful because if you were to hold

682
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:04,120
Speaker 5: up Joe Mozilla, he'll probably drop down to put you

683
00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:04,600
Speaker 5: in an arm bar.

684
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:06,520
Speaker 2: That's right, that's right.

685
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:10,160
Speaker 3: Any other random notes, I will just say it's not

686
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:13,880
Speaker 3: fun watching the hack of mitche They're following Mitchell Robinson

687
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:17,280
Speaker 3: on person on purpose at home in a playoff game.

688
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:20,400
Speaker 3: It just sucks the life out of my TV screen

689
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:22,640
Speaker 3: because it sucks to the life out of the arena, right,

690
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 3: it's so the negative effect of that. It ain't all

691
00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:30,080
Speaker 3: that could and it sucks the the life out of

692
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:32,760
Speaker 3: the team as well. You saw John Brown in the

693
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 3: in the audio assists segments saying you gotta get the flow.

694
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:39,240
Speaker 4: Go keep flow one, keep flowing, keep.

695
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 3: It flowing, and the flow takes a hit. I mean

696
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:46,560
Speaker 3: it's true. I mean there's there's there's no stat for it.

697
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:48,200
Speaker 3: I mean it did work.

698
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:50,440
Speaker 4: A couple of stats for it.

699
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 5: Mitchell Robinson went to a vain second quarter and the

700
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:55,280
Speaker 5: Celtics built a huge lead.

701
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:56,240
Speaker 4: They had their best.

702
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 5: Quarter that quarter, scored thirty five points to twenty for

703
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:01,400
Speaker 5: the Knicks. It was working, Yeah, it was war it

704
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 5: was hurting the flow, but it worked.

705
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:06,239
Speaker 3: And then they go to the locker room and they

706
00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:09,000
Speaker 3: just they just die. And that was not a good

707
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:12,400
Speaker 3: team coming into the third quarter into that arena.

708
00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:13,440
Speaker 4: So something happened.

709
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 3: I mean they it's not it's not fun. It's just

710
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:16,680
Speaker 3: not fun.

711
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:20,040
Speaker 4: Any other random notes TK who else is gonna get

712
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:20,520
Speaker 4: followed though?

713
00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:23,040
Speaker 5: I mean hack a big as back one hundred percent,

714
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:26,000
Speaker 5: Mitchell Robinson, Steven Adams. They used it on the Celtic

715
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:29,720
Speaker 5: or the Warriors did last rounds. I'm like Rudy Gobert's

716
00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:31,880
Speaker 5: nine for eighteen from the free throw line so far

717
00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:33,920
Speaker 5: in the playoffs, Drayvon Green four for seven.

718
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:35,760
Speaker 4: They're getting hacked.

719
00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:39,320
Speaker 2: We'll find out. Yeah, maybe we'll find out, possibly in tonight.

720
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:43,400
Speaker 3: Uh yeah. Just the Jason Tatum, the replay of him

721
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:46,400
Speaker 3: scoring a bucket and turning his ankle at the same

722
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:48,720
Speaker 3: time when he had Brunson backing up. I mean that

723
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:51,760
Speaker 3: was wild that he stayed totally comfortable after that, stayed

724
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:53,600
Speaker 3: on the floor, but he literally just turned his ankle.

725
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:57,480
Speaker 3: All good. Uh, Knicks fans in Boston is weird.

726
00:31:57,160 --> 00:32:00,000
Speaker 2: To hear, and it's crazy during a playoff game.

727
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:01,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, there's a lot of them.

728
00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:04,040
Speaker 2: They're loud, they're vocal, they're very vocal.

729
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:07,680
Speaker 3: Duce McBride hit that bucket and you hear it, Duze, Yeah,

730
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:10,600
Speaker 3: there's no doubt. It is strange to see that. Just

731
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:12,720
Speaker 3: want to confirm that Ojan and Obi has never scored

732
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:17,479
Speaker 3: fifteen points against Boss Celtics, because that's he's scored an

733
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:20,280
Speaker 3: average of eight point eight points against the Boston Celtics

734
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:23,320
Speaker 3: throughout his career and he's never played him in the playoffs.

735
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:28,000
Speaker 3: So that's game number one. Oh g and Obi versus

736
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:30,200
Speaker 3: Boss and Celtics. I thought the Raptors played, but wasn't

737
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:31,239
Speaker 3: he injured on them? Oh?

738
00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:35,440
Speaker 2: Maybe, Yeah, we'll take the hit the game winner in

739
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:36,840
Speaker 2: the CORTX against the Celtics.

740
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:40,560
Speaker 3: Oh, that was the that was the That was a bub. Yeah,

741
00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:42,760
Speaker 3: that was a bubb Anyway.

742
00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:45,440
Speaker 2: Maybe it's maybe in Boston. Is it a technicality?

743
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:49,040
Speaker 3: No? No, shout out to Jay King for knowing that

744
00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 3: but not coming up with it. Well, the playoffs. Actually,

745
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:54,720
Speaker 3: he's got a twenty point playoff game in that. He's

746
00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:57,320
Speaker 3: got a twenty point playoff game against the Boston Celtics.

747
00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:01,080
Speaker 3: So it was a regular season anyways, he had won

748
00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:04,640
Speaker 3: twenty Okay, anyways, it's still is best game of the playoffs.

749
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:05,240
Speaker 3: There's no doubt.

750
00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:07,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, this guy's been amazing so far in the playoffs

751
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:09,840
Speaker 2: for the Knicks. So with the Pacers win over the

752
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:12,720
Speaker 2: Cavs on Sunday, road teams three to zero in the

753
00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:16,760
Speaker 2: conference semifinals so far, and we'll pivot now to the

754
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:20,360
Speaker 2: one that starts tonight. The Western Conferences number six seed,

755
00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:24,120
Speaker 2: the Minnesota Timberwolves take on the number seven Golden State

756
00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:26,240
Speaker 2: Warriors in the second round here game one tip of

757
00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:28,760
Speaker 2: to night, first time these two franchises have met in

758
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 2: the postseason. It's also just the third time that the

759
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:35,720
Speaker 2: sixth and seventh seeds have faced off last year. Last

760
00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:38,800
Speaker 2: time it happened twenty twenty three, not that long ago,

761
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:42,520
Speaker 2: when the seventh seeded Lakers knocked off the sixth seeded

762
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:45,840
Speaker 2: Warriors in six games. So let's break it down as

763
00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:48,760
Speaker 2: we've been doing things to watch for X Factors predictions TK.

764
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:50,520
Speaker 2: You can get started here. What's something you're gonna keep

765
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:52,760
Speaker 2: your eye on? Six to seven Wolves Warriors?

766
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:54,800
Speaker 4: Is this going to be an Anthony Edwards series?

767
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:58,800
Speaker 5: Prior to their series against the Lakers, he told his

768
00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:01,400
Speaker 5: teammates be ready. I know they're gonna come and double me,

769
00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:04,360
Speaker 5: try and make somebody else beat us. He was prepared

770
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:07,040
Speaker 5: for that great playmaking throughout the series. I think he

771
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:10,440
Speaker 5: had six turnovers in round one. It was a huge

772
00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:11,840
Speaker 5: leap for Anthony Edwards.

773
00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:13,720
Speaker 2: Thirty one assists to just six turnovers.

774
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:17,879
Speaker 5: If he does that, that's awesome. The Warriors, you look

775
00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:19,759
Speaker 5: at who they're going to be rolling out there. They

776
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:23,000
Speaker 5: just do not have a great matchup for Anthony Edwards,

777
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:25,640
Speaker 5: Which kind of is my second question. Who is Steve

778
00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:27,759
Speaker 5: Kerr going to start in this series? Who is Steve

779
00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:31,759
Speaker 5: Kerr going to finish with in this series? You know, Curry, Butler, Draymond,

780
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:34,640
Speaker 5: They're out there. Their most played lineup is Pajeenski and

781
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:38,040
Speaker 5: Buddy Healed alongside those that ain't gonna happen against this

782
00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:38,879
Speaker 5: Timberwolves team.

783
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:39,920
Speaker 4: Good luck with that.

784
00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:42,240
Speaker 5: I think Jimmy is gonna have to guard Julius Randall.

785
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:44,200
Speaker 5: He's the only guy in their starting lineup that has

786
00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:47,520
Speaker 5: the bulk for it, which means it's probably Padjeenski's I

787
00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:50,360
Speaker 5: guess will be the starter for Golden State. He seems

788
00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:53,600
Speaker 5: to be the guy, and maybe Buddy's the adjustment guy. Obviously,

789
00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:55,880
Speaker 5: Buddy will have no chance against Anthony Edwards. And then

790
00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:58,040
Speaker 5: you look at ant stats against Golden State this year

791
00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:01,399
Speaker 5: twenty six six and six on forty five forty four

792
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:03,120
Speaker 5: ninety shooting splits.

793
00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:05,840
Speaker 4: I think this could be a big series for Anthony.

794
00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:10,200
Speaker 5: Edwards just because looking at the schemes, it doesn't look

795
00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:11,640
Speaker 5: like there's somebody who's really going to be able to

796
00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:14,400
Speaker 5: stick him. For Golden State, Gary Payton the second, I

797
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:18,919
Speaker 5: imagine it's probably their best perimeter defender, but that hurts

798
00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:19,680
Speaker 5: you on the offensive.

799
00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:24,520
Speaker 3: Vent Yeah, and and should have the size girth to

800
00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:27,680
Speaker 3: handle great Gary Payton's second. It is a problem. I

801
00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:31,520
Speaker 3: think this entire lineup of the Wolves is a problem

802
00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:34,680
Speaker 3: for the Warriors, especially size wise. I mean they're too

803
00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:40,480
Speaker 3: small for this Minnesota team. Butler and Draymond Green up

804
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:44,560
Speaker 3: against Julius Randall and Rudy Gobert to start, that's a

805
00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:47,759
Speaker 3: size problem. And we saw what Julius Randall was able

806
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:50,000
Speaker 3: to do against the Lakers. He matched up fairly well

807
00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:54,560
Speaker 3: with Lebron and him against Jimmy Butler should be a

808
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:57,560
Speaker 3: good matchup for him. He should have the ability to

809
00:35:57,640 --> 00:36:00,919
Speaker 3: see over the entire defense and make good passes because

810
00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:03,040
Speaker 3: he seems like he's totally comfortable with that, not just

811
00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:05,760
Speaker 3: making it a whole Julius Randall show. While Rude Gobert

812
00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:09,719
Speaker 3: also came through in round one, had a monstrous offensive game,

813
00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:13,359
Speaker 3: just one of them, and that's all you need. And defensively, yeah,

814
00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:16,319
Speaker 3: Curry should be able to burn him, but he did

815
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:19,040
Speaker 3: a good job of staying down on Luca, not jumping.

816
00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:21,839
Speaker 3: And when one of those guys isn't working well, here

817
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:25,600
Speaker 3: comes Nasried. So they have incredible depth in terms of

818
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:29,600
Speaker 3: their bigs that the Golden State Warriors do not. And yeah,

819
00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:32,680
Speaker 3: you got to ask who's Steve Kurt starting. You got

820
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:34,640
Speaker 3: to ask who's Steve Kirr bringing off the bench and

821
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:37,920
Speaker 3: Quentin Post will run out there as a big but

822
00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:41,239
Speaker 3: not so sure. I'm not so sure that they can

823
00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:44,919
Speaker 3: handle the depth of those three guys playing extremely well

824
00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:47,920
Speaker 3: at times against the Lakers, So I think that's a problem.

825
00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:50,359
Speaker 3: Offensive Glass defensively, they had it all.

826
00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:54,280
Speaker 2: There are so many fun like just narratives surrounding this series.

827
00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:58,680
Speaker 2: When you consider trying to take down another legend? Is

828
00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:01,399
Speaker 2: he full Randy Orton here as the legend killer? Can

829
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:03,359
Speaker 2: he take Curry now and add him to his list

830
00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:05,279
Speaker 2: of all these guys he's taking down in playoff series?

831
00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:08,960
Speaker 2: Jimmy Butler returning to face a franchise he basically tried

832
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:11,839
Speaker 2: to burn to the ground. That's fun. And then and

833
00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:14,000
Speaker 2: the one everyone he likes to talk about, Draymond Green

834
00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:19,080
Speaker 2: versus Rudy Gobert round whatever this is now with Draymond

835
00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:21,040
Speaker 2: something to keep in mind here he racked up four

836
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:25,359
Speaker 2: technical fouls and two flagrant fowls. Happy for Tassa's team

837
00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:29,160
Speaker 2: in the Instigator excuse me, the pure team he did

838
00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:31,359
Speaker 2: that against Houston. I bring that up because you get

839
00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:34,319
Speaker 2: a one game suspension if you reach seven technicals or

840
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:40,840
Speaker 2: you accumulate four flagrant points in the playoffs.

841
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:42,359
Speaker 4: So he's got something to play with. It's right, okay, good,

842
00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:43,920
Speaker 4: I'm glad to hear room here.

843
00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:45,440
Speaker 5: I thought you were gonna say, like five and three,

844
00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:48,120
Speaker 5: then he's not gonna be on his best behavior. I

845
00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:50,439
Speaker 5: was like, how soon is this gonna happen? The game

846
00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:54,200
Speaker 5: where Draymond Green chokes Rudy Gobert was a minute and

847
00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:57,080
Speaker 5: forty three seconds into their game, the tenth game of

848
00:37:57,120 --> 00:37:59,040
Speaker 5: the season. It was the second game, oddly enough, of

849
00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:01,040
Speaker 5: a back to back with gold in State, So I

850
00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:04,680
Speaker 5: guess forty nine minutes in. But if it happens after

851
00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:07,440
Speaker 5: game two their first run in, I'll be shocked.

852
00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:10,640
Speaker 3: Yes, he obviously does not like Rudy Gobert. Remember when

853
00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:13,799
Speaker 3: he was working for TNT and they announced the All

854
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:17,080
Speaker 3: Star Game, they announced Rudy Gobert not a word. He

855
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:19,439
Speaker 3: didn't want to say anything about Rudy gard. He didn't

856
00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:23,000
Speaker 3: want to smile. So, yes, this is going to be

857
00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:26,160
Speaker 3: a controversy, that is no doubt about that. I just

858
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:29,640
Speaker 3: I guess you'd think that he would scale it down,

859
00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:32,800
Speaker 3: knowing that when he got suspended because of these flagrant fouls,

860
00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:36,960
Speaker 3: they ended up losing the series. Against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

861
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:38,640
Speaker 3: He was suspended for a game five.

862
00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:40,480
Speaker 2: In the s's right, Yeah, so you do have to

863
00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:42,520
Speaker 2: watch it. That's why I bring it up. Golden State

864
00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:45,920
Speaker 2: did win the season series against Minnesota. They took three

865
00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:47,799
Speaker 2: or four games, but I think all those games were

866
00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:49,760
Speaker 2: before the deadline. Yeah, it was like a completely different

867
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:52,320
Speaker 2: team before Jimmy and all that. Now, Curry was a monster.

868
00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:55,600
Speaker 2: Curry did play really well against the Wolves. I think

869
00:38:55,640 --> 00:38:57,800
Speaker 2: he averaged twenty nine points, seven and a half assists,

870
00:38:57,800 --> 00:39:01,600
Speaker 2: like really good true shooting percentage. So that remains the same.

871
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:04,200
Speaker 2: It's Steph Crayfer crying out loud, but I'm watching and

872
00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:06,440
Speaker 2: you sort of slipped in their TK. What type of

873
00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:08,560
Speaker 2: ant do we get? And if he continues to make,

874
00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:12,080
Speaker 2: you know, sharp decisions and sharp reeds and maybe the

875
00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:14,279
Speaker 2: defense sort of does load up on him still like

876
00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:17,440
Speaker 2: we saw the Lakers do can those other guys come

877
00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:20,239
Speaker 2: through because they were instrumental into winning that series. You

878
00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:23,279
Speaker 2: had the Jaden McDaniel's game. He actually had two of them.

879
00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:25,120
Speaker 2: He had a great game one, he had a great

880
00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:27,680
Speaker 2: game three. Nas Reid was huge in Game one two.

881
00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:30,160
Speaker 2: Then he had Randall with twenty five in Game four

882
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:32,600
Speaker 2: that was awesome to help out the crazy good ant game.

883
00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:34,480
Speaker 2: And then you said Rudy Gobert had the game of

884
00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:37,120
Speaker 2: his life in game five, twenty seven and twenty four.

885
00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:39,600
Speaker 2: So those guys, I mean, they're gonna have to I

886
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:41,040
Speaker 2: think they're gonna have to do it obviously three or

887
00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:43,160
Speaker 2: four times. There's gonna have to be the complimentary like

888
00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:46,399
Speaker 2: star guy to go alongside Anthony Edwards. I can't wait

889
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:48,200
Speaker 2: to see who it is and whether there are changes

890
00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:49,680
Speaker 2: like it did in that last series, sort of from

891
00:39:49,719 --> 00:39:55,080
Speaker 2: game to game X factors who you got sort of

892
00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:55,680
Speaker 2: circled here.

893
00:39:56,360 --> 00:39:59,640
Speaker 3: I'm looking at the Wolves bench because it has so

894
00:39:59,719 --> 00:40:02,279
Speaker 3: much freaking depth because those three guys coming off the

895
00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:04,320
Speaker 3: bench can start for so many teams in this league

896
00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:08,399
Speaker 3: and just keep coming through. The main one though, besides Nikail,

897
00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:11,120
Speaker 3: Alexander Walker and nasried is gonna be so big? Is

898
00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:13,279
Speaker 3: Dante DiVincenzo. I think he is going to be good

899
00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:16,200
Speaker 3: against his former team, a guy that he learned how

900
00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:18,600
Speaker 3: to shoot the ball from in Steph Curry. He became

901
00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:22,479
Speaker 3: a shooter after being beside Steph Curry, and I don't

902
00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:25,080
Speaker 3: like season series all that much, but he is pretty

903
00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:27,279
Speaker 3: good against this team the last two games when he

904
00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:30,440
Speaker 3: started to become Dante DiVincenzo again that we saw with

905
00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:32,600
Speaker 3: the Knicks. It took him a whild this season. Yeah,

906
00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:34,560
Speaker 3: but he had twenty eight in the last game they

907
00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:37,960
Speaker 3: played nineteen the game before that. So I think the

908
00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:41,239
Speaker 3: depth is very important in this series, and he is

909
00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:43,560
Speaker 3: a big part of that. And he's gonna get looks.

910
00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:46,480
Speaker 3: I feel like it's just gonna be hard to scramble

911
00:40:46,719 --> 00:40:49,280
Speaker 3: against this Wolves team because I do think Anthony Edward's

912
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:51,840
Speaker 3: gonna find all these guys again. He ain't dying. I

913
00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:55,760
Speaker 3: think he's got another series in him. So yeah, Dante

914
00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:56,880
Speaker 3: will score, no doubt.

915
00:40:57,239 --> 00:40:57,880
Speaker 2: Who do you got.

916
00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:02,520
Speaker 5: I'm in a players sense like the Warriors need random

917
00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:04,760
Speaker 5: dudes to show up. That's how they won their first series.

918
00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:06,960
Speaker 5: Gary Payton the second held close out. Game one had

919
00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:09,360
Speaker 5: a couple of nice layups off of double teams on

920
00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:11,240
Speaker 5: a Steph Curry picknroll went to the hoop and score.

921
00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:14,279
Speaker 5: Game three, they win. Buddy has sixteen points. GP two

922
00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:17,360
Speaker 5: has seventeen points. Game four, Buddy fifteen. Quentin Post thirteen.

923
00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:20,440
Speaker 5: Game seven, of course, Buddy goes insane thirty three points

924
00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:23,400
Speaker 5: on nine threes for the win. So they need to

925
00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:25,680
Speaker 5: get some dudes having random games. They need a good

926
00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:28,200
Speaker 5: Jimmy Butler series. For the entirety of the series, Curry

927
00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:30,799
Speaker 5: has to represent for all of US millennials who don't

928
00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:33,160
Speaker 5: want to see our era completely.

929
00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:34,320
Speaker 4: Swept by the wayside.

930
00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:37,040
Speaker 5: For the Timberwolves, it's offensive rebounding that is going to

931
00:41:37,040 --> 00:41:39,160
Speaker 5: be a huge bell weather for them. They were second

932
00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:41,800
Speaker 5: offensive offensive rebound rate against the Lakers.

933
00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:44,000
Speaker 4: You look at what the Warriors did, they were last.

934
00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:47,680
Speaker 5: And defensive rebounding rate against the Houston Rockets, who played

935
00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:51,160
Speaker 5: gigantic dudes. Shehnguon was big, but Steven Adams is like

936
00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:54,040
Speaker 5: the greatest of all time offensive rebounders. Go bear is

937
00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:56,360
Speaker 5: not quite a bat level, but he ain't no slouch.

938
00:41:56,400 --> 00:41:59,040
Speaker 5: He had seven in Game four, nine in that game

939
00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:03,480
Speaker 5: five dominated victory. So you hear Brian Wihorse say it

940
00:42:03,520 --> 00:42:05,719
Speaker 5: all the time, no rebounds, no rings. I think that's

941
00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:08,560
Speaker 5: a pat Riley saying, how are the Warriors going to

942
00:42:08,560 --> 00:42:11,080
Speaker 5: be able to rebound against the team very similar to

943
00:42:11,120 --> 00:42:13,240
Speaker 5: what we saw in Houston. They've got a great defense.

944
00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:15,360
Speaker 5: We know they're going to play two bigs at times.

945
00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:17,840
Speaker 5: We know they're tough on the glass. How does Golden

946
00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:20,520
Speaker 5: State take that away to go back to Buddy Hild.

947
00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:22,960
Speaker 5: I mean, even as that first round developed, I thought

948
00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:25,960
Speaker 5: you started to see Steve Kerr sort of opt for

949
00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:30,840
Speaker 5: Buddy Heeld shooting over Moses Moody and his defensive you know, acumen.

950
00:42:31,239 --> 00:42:33,120
Speaker 5: As the games went on and he was like, oh,

951
00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:34,440
Speaker 5: let's go with Buddy, and like.

952
00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:36,520
Speaker 2: The numbers back it up. I mean in games where

953
00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:38,880
Speaker 2: Buddy played fewer than twenty minutes in that last battle,

954
00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:41,799
Speaker 2: they went one in three and he shot poorly and

955
00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:43,839
Speaker 2: he barely shot at all in those games, the ones

956
00:42:43,840 --> 00:42:46,359
Speaker 2: where he played twenty nine or more minutes three times

957
00:42:46,360 --> 00:42:48,640
Speaker 2: in that series, he averaged nearly twenty two points per game.

958
00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:51,600
Speaker 2: He shot seventeen to thirty one from deep. But he

959
00:42:51,719 --> 00:42:54,120
Speaker 2: is the ultimate X factor here, I think, especially when

960
00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:56,719
Speaker 2: you get into like closing games and just how much

961
00:42:56,719 --> 00:42:58,319
Speaker 2: he can stretch the floor. And they won all three

962
00:42:58,360 --> 00:43:00,759
Speaker 2: of those games. So for me, I have him for

963
00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:01,800
Speaker 2: the Warriors.

964
00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:03,120
Speaker 3: X factor, and he shut down Jailing.

965
00:43:03,239 --> 00:43:04,480
Speaker 2: I was going to say he started to play some

966
00:43:04,520 --> 00:43:06,560
Speaker 2: defense as well.

967
00:43:06,080 --> 00:43:08,840
Speaker 4: He did better on offense.

968
00:43:08,920 --> 00:43:11,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, Jalen Green was maybe the worst player

969
00:43:11,080 --> 00:43:13,880
Speaker 5: in the first round. Part of that credit goes to Buddy,

970
00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:15,799
Speaker 5: and part of that goes to Jalen Green, probably more

971
00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:18,240
Speaker 5: so to Jalen Green. I think Buddy has a tougher

972
00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:19,720
Speaker 5: ask this time around.

973
00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:23,480
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, yeah, he just played one great game defensively,

974
00:43:23,520 --> 00:43:25,680
Speaker 3: but he did set the tone. As Steve Kerr said, Yeah, for.

975
00:43:25,640 --> 00:43:26,760
Speaker 4: Sure, he cares.

976
00:43:27,080 --> 00:43:27,520
Speaker 2: He cares.

977
00:43:27,719 --> 00:43:29,239
Speaker 4: But that's why Kerr was able to play him.

978
00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:32,880
Speaker 5: He's like, we are not worried about the perimeter players

979
00:43:33,040 --> 00:43:34,759
Speaker 5: for the Houston Rockets. We can get away with playing

980
00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:36,760
Speaker 5: Buddy Healed on their leading scorer.

981
00:43:37,120 --> 00:43:40,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, Buddy came through. Not only did he come through

982
00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:42,400
Speaker 3: in that game, but then he has an over and

983
00:43:42,440 --> 00:43:46,200
Speaker 3: Steve Kurse sticks with him. Why because it worked. I

984
00:43:46,239 --> 00:43:49,440
Speaker 3: mean see to see Buddy Rye that roller coaster in

985
00:43:49,480 --> 00:43:51,360
Speaker 3: one series, you wouldn't expect that. You wouldn't expect the

986
00:43:51,360 --> 00:43:54,440
Speaker 3: guy who basically was unplayable last year with the Philadelphia

987
00:43:54,440 --> 00:43:57,640
Speaker 3: seventy six ers. So that was a very very good performance.

988
00:43:57,719 --> 00:44:00,600
Speaker 3: They will be key so many guys that team.

989
00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:02,600
Speaker 2: And for the Wolves bench. I mean, like, I have

990
00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:04,520
Speaker 2: a lot of confidence in Nosried. I think you're right

991
00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:06,880
Speaker 2: about Dante DiVincenzo and how well he's looked at times

992
00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:09,439
Speaker 2: against them in this battles against the Golden State Warriors.

993
00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:12,719
Speaker 2: But Nikil Alexander Walker. We're through two postseasons now, and

994
00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:15,560
Speaker 2: this guy can't shoot. He can't score. He does a

995
00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:18,200
Speaker 2: lot of other really important things, which is why if, man,

996
00:44:18,200 --> 00:44:20,000
Speaker 2: if you could just hit a shot, it becomes like

997
00:44:20,120 --> 00:44:22,560
Speaker 2: such a game changer, such an X factor. He's shooting

998
00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:25,279
Speaker 2: thirty four percent from the field and under twenty eight

999
00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:29,239
Speaker 2: percent from three in two postseason runs. Now, again, you

1000
00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:31,480
Speaker 2: gotta play the guy because of you know, obviously his

1001
00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:34,520
Speaker 2: length on the perimeter and his defensive hustle and makes

1002
00:44:34,560 --> 00:44:37,839
Speaker 2: the smart plays. But you gotta shoot, and you know,

1003
00:44:38,160 --> 00:44:40,799
Speaker 2: like the Warriors more than anyone, they like, oh yeah,

1004
00:44:40,800 --> 00:44:43,279
Speaker 2: we'll exploit that like until we see it, until you

1005
00:44:43,320 --> 00:44:45,759
Speaker 2: can hit a wide open three, we'll leave you and

1006
00:44:45,840 --> 00:44:48,080
Speaker 2: we'll have Draymond roaming and we'll clog up everything we

1007
00:44:48,120 --> 00:44:50,120
Speaker 2: can to try and put bodies on ant and stuff

1008
00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:51,799
Speaker 2: like that. So I think it's important when he gets

1009
00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:53,200
Speaker 2: his minutes that he actually can try and hit some

1010
00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:56,800
Speaker 2: shots here and at least in regards to them winning prediction,

1011
00:44:57,960 --> 00:44:59,359
Speaker 2: Trey gets started where you go in.

1012
00:44:59,480 --> 00:45:02,200
Speaker 5: Wolves war I love all the connections that you mentioned

1013
00:45:02,239 --> 00:45:07,280
Speaker 5: Draymond versus Gobert, Jimmy Butler versus starters, and Minnesota fans,

1014
00:45:07,680 --> 00:45:09,920
Speaker 5: it's gonna be quite the reception for him. And then

1015
00:45:09,920 --> 00:45:12,400
Speaker 5: of course Steph Curry playing against the team that passed

1016
00:45:12,440 --> 00:45:14,600
Speaker 5: him in the drafts two times, he's beaten all the

1017
00:45:14,640 --> 00:45:15,400
Speaker 5: other teams.

1018
00:45:15,120 --> 00:45:16,839
Speaker 4: That have passed him in the draft. It hasn't yet

1019
00:45:16,880 --> 00:45:19,560
Speaker 4: faced the Minnesota Timberwolves. We'll see how it goes.

1020
00:45:20,200 --> 00:45:23,560
Speaker 5: But looking at the whole series, I think Minnesota is

1021
00:45:24,280 --> 00:45:27,719
Speaker 5: so similar to Houston, who gave the Warriors a ton

1022
00:45:27,760 --> 00:45:31,240
Speaker 5: of problems. But Minnesota is more experienced, they're a little bigger,

1023
00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:34,560
Speaker 5: they're a lot better, and they have Anthony Edwards. So

1024
00:45:34,680 --> 00:45:37,680
Speaker 5: I'm going with the timber Wolves in six for this.

1025
00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:40,040
Speaker 2: Okay. They also have home court advtage of course, though

1026
00:45:40,040 --> 00:45:42,680
Speaker 2: maybe that doesn't matter in this round, and rest advantage

1027
00:45:42,719 --> 00:45:44,640
Speaker 2: here too, with obviously the Warriors playing at Game seven.

1028
00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:46,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Warriors just played and now they got to

1029
00:45:46,760 --> 00:45:49,399
Speaker 3: play every second day for the first five games here

1030
00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:52,359
Speaker 3: against a deeper team. There's no doubt Minnesota turm Wolves

1031
00:45:52,440 --> 00:45:55,880
Speaker 3: are deeper, they are younger, and they can bore just

1032
00:45:55,960 --> 00:45:58,319
Speaker 3: like the Rockets did offensively. But then they can also

1033
00:45:58,400 --> 00:46:01,520
Speaker 3: score the ball Rockets had problems with, So I think

1034
00:46:01,520 --> 00:46:04,920
Speaker 3: they've got all that depth. And Anthony Edwards leading a

1035
00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:09,320
Speaker 3: team here in this run. He said before the season

1036
00:46:09,320 --> 00:46:14,239
Speaker 3: that he expects and wants something for this Minnesota city

1037
00:46:14,920 --> 00:46:17,799
Speaker 3: to give them something to cheer four. And so yeah,

1038
00:46:17,840 --> 00:46:20,320
Speaker 3: I'm riding with Aunt and the depth on this team.

1039
00:46:20,640 --> 00:46:22,040
Speaker 3: I'm going six, going.

1040
00:46:21,920 --> 00:46:26,440
Speaker 2: Six, oh man. The idea of picking against Curry is

1041
00:46:26,560 --> 00:46:31,200
Speaker 2: disgusting behavior to me. And for that reason and that

1042
00:46:31,239 --> 00:46:34,400
Speaker 2: reason alone, I'll take the Warriors. I'll go Warriors in seven.

1043
00:46:34,480 --> 00:46:38,040
Speaker 2: I'll have them winning on the road in Minnesota. But

1044
00:46:38,320 --> 00:46:40,560
Speaker 2: for all the reasons we talked through in this series,

1045
00:46:40,800 --> 00:46:44,640
Speaker 2: the Wolves are a better team, but the Warriors, no

1046
00:46:44,680 --> 00:46:47,440
Speaker 2: one has more experience than obviously, Like they're three main guys,

1047
00:46:47,840 --> 00:46:51,440
Speaker 2: and Korey has played really well against them, And I

1048
00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:53,400
Speaker 2: just can't wait to see, like I want them to

1049
00:46:53,400 --> 00:46:57,040
Speaker 2: almost like use ants like energy and fu aura. Can

1050
00:46:57,040 --> 00:46:59,080
Speaker 2: they like use it against them in a weird way,

1051
00:46:59,360 --> 00:47:02,440
Speaker 2: even through like comments after games and in the media

1052
00:47:02,480 --> 00:47:04,200
Speaker 2: and stuff like that. Like it's like the guy won't

1053
00:47:04,200 --> 00:47:05,799
Speaker 2: back down from it. I mean that's he likes it.

1054
00:47:05,840 --> 00:47:07,120
Speaker 2: He thinks it's such a fun part of the game.

1055
00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:10,120
Speaker 2: Especially he's talked already about Draymond and all the trash

1056
00:47:10,120 --> 00:47:12,000
Speaker 2: he talks, so that'll be fun too. But I'll go

1057
00:47:12,040 --> 00:47:14,600
Speaker 2: Warriors in seven. These guys got Wolves and six. Let's

1058
00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:17,399
Speaker 2: hear from you in the stream team who wins, how

1059
00:47:17,400 --> 00:47:20,680
Speaker 2: many games? X factors, all that good stuff. Okay, let's

1060
00:47:20,680 --> 00:47:22,840
Speaker 2: pivot to one of the other games tonight. We actually

1061
00:47:22,840 --> 00:47:24,400
Speaker 2: didn't get to talk about game one because we were

1062
00:47:24,440 --> 00:47:27,720
Speaker 2: gone this weekend, but three of Cleveland's players, they're top players,

1063
00:47:27,760 --> 00:47:31,719
Speaker 2: are questionable for Game two against the Pacers. Tonight. Coach

1064
00:47:31,800 --> 00:47:35,120
Speaker 2: Kenny Atkinson expressed real concern over whether Darius Garland with

1065
00:47:35,160 --> 00:47:38,279
Speaker 2: a toast brain, DeAndre Hunter with a dislocated thumb, and

1066
00:47:38,320 --> 00:47:41,279
Speaker 2: Evan Mobley with an ankle injury, whether they'll even play

1067
00:47:41,320 --> 00:47:44,920
Speaker 2: tonight in Game two of their Eastern Conference semi finals series.

1068
00:47:44,960 --> 00:47:46,759
Speaker 2: So that's huge something to watch for as the day

1069
00:47:46,800 --> 00:47:49,040
Speaker 2: progresses here as we are closer to tip time. But

1070
00:47:50,280 --> 00:47:52,880
Speaker 2: your thoughts on game one, how the Pacers look so

1071
00:47:52,960 --> 00:47:56,399
Speaker 2: damn impressive in that and concerned at all about Cleveland here?

1072
00:47:58,120 --> 00:48:01,360
Speaker 3: Well, just as a team, Yeah, yeah, you have to

1073
00:48:01,480 --> 00:48:05,360
Speaker 3: be concerned about this team that was unable to guard

1074
00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:10,280
Speaker 3: everybody on the perimeter for Indiana. I thought Andrew Nemhart

1075
00:48:10,280 --> 00:48:12,200
Speaker 3: was just so key in this game. He just came

1076
00:48:12,239 --> 00:48:14,839
Speaker 3: through and while they're looking at Haliburton and making sure

1077
00:48:14,840 --> 00:48:16,600
Speaker 3: that he can't be the conductor getting in there and

1078
00:48:16,640 --> 00:48:19,920
Speaker 3: doing things. Andrew nempart was just as important, if not

1079
00:48:19,960 --> 00:48:22,520
Speaker 3: more important in this game. But everybody coming through, And

1080
00:48:22,560 --> 00:48:25,680
Speaker 3: I say on the offensive end is where Indiana. The

1081
00:48:25,719 --> 00:48:27,920
Speaker 3: Indiana Pacers did it. But defensively they're so good too.

1082
00:48:27,960 --> 00:48:30,399
Speaker 3: I think Haliburn doesn't get enough credit for how great

1083
00:48:30,440 --> 00:48:32,480
Speaker 3: he is at helping win needed. Yeah, he wasaited for

1084
00:48:32,520 --> 00:48:34,799
Speaker 3: the fourth quarter at times, but he's good enough to

1085
00:48:34,840 --> 00:48:39,120
Speaker 3: do that. And so yes, I think with the injuries, yeah,

1086
00:48:39,360 --> 00:48:41,720
Speaker 3: are they real or are they just on the list

1087
00:48:41,719 --> 00:48:43,720
Speaker 3: here for you know, it's a playoffs.

1088
00:48:44,880 --> 00:48:45,480
Speaker 4: It out there.

1089
00:48:45,560 --> 00:48:48,400
Speaker 3: But obviously Daris Garland didn't play in Game one, so

1090
00:48:48,520 --> 00:48:49,720
Speaker 3: that is something to worry about.

1091
00:48:49,920 --> 00:48:51,440
Speaker 4: That's what three straight as he's missed.

1092
00:48:52,080 --> 00:48:55,160
Speaker 3: He missed at least two maybe three of Orlandos series.

1093
00:48:55,239 --> 00:48:57,239
Speaker 5: Yeah, I thought they missed the last two. Nonetheless, you

1094
00:48:57,239 --> 00:48:59,040
Speaker 5: could tell they were missing them. They couldn't shoot. They

1095
00:48:59,080 --> 00:49:01,799
Speaker 5: got out shot nineteen. I do think Mobley is hurt

1096
00:49:01,840 --> 00:49:03,920
Speaker 5: as well. He looked like he was laboring. He's got

1097
00:49:03,920 --> 00:49:06,720
Speaker 5: a Chase Pascal siakam around on a team that already

1098
00:49:06,760 --> 00:49:10,839
Speaker 5: runs fast breaks and stuff. I think Kenny Atkinson Coach

1099
00:49:10,840 --> 00:49:12,400
Speaker 5: of the Year, Kenny Atkinson, it's official.

1100
00:49:13,360 --> 00:49:14,479
Speaker 4: He said, these guys are.

1101
00:49:14,360 --> 00:49:18,359
Speaker 5: All going to be doubtful, but they'll be listed as questionable. Yeah, semantics,

1102
00:49:18,560 --> 00:49:19,480
Speaker 5: that's what Kenny said.

1103
00:49:19,920 --> 00:49:21,839
Speaker 2: I bet he said. It's the same thing to him.

1104
00:49:21,920 --> 00:49:24,759
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly, they might play. I kind of agree with you.

1105
00:49:24,960 --> 00:49:27,600
Speaker 5: It's like you're in, you're out, or maybe you're in

1106
00:49:27,680 --> 00:49:29,640
Speaker 5: or you're out. Who knows what the levels to it are.

1107
00:49:29,760 --> 00:49:31,600
Speaker 5: But if you're missing three or your top six, that's

1108
00:49:31,680 --> 00:49:34,760
Speaker 5: bad against a team that already beat you in round

1109
00:49:34,920 --> 00:49:38,600
Speaker 5: or in game one on the road, the Pacers get

1110
00:49:38,719 --> 00:49:41,279
Speaker 5: the shots they want no matter what. They had no

1111
00:49:41,360 --> 00:49:44,160
Speaker 5: answer for Haliburton. That was my big concern for Cleveland

1112
00:49:44,200 --> 00:49:46,160
Speaker 5: was not having somebody who could stay in front of him.

1113
00:49:46,200 --> 00:49:49,920
Speaker 5: Twenty two points, thirteen assists, zero turnovers for him. Andrew

1114
00:49:49,960 --> 00:49:52,600
Speaker 5: Nemhardt is the career leader and three point percentage in

1115
00:49:52,640 --> 00:49:55,280
Speaker 5: the playoffs right now, shooting fifty one percent for his career.

1116
00:49:55,320 --> 00:49:56,520
Speaker 4: An incredible riser.

1117
00:49:57,040 --> 00:49:59,520
Speaker 5: Look you if you are a cas fan, you have

1118
00:49:59,560 --> 00:50:01,880
Speaker 5: to be thinking they're not gonna shoot as well as

1119
00:50:01,880 --> 00:50:04,279
Speaker 5: they did in Game one. We're not gonna shoot as

1120
00:50:04,320 --> 00:50:06,759
Speaker 5: poorly as we did in Game one. I think it's

1121
00:50:06,880 --> 00:50:08,960
Speaker 5: more so true from the Cleveland side. I think they'll

1122
00:50:08,960 --> 00:50:11,640
Speaker 5: shoot better. But I don't know what they do defensively

1123
00:50:11,840 --> 00:50:14,400
Speaker 5: against the Pacers, because the Pacers are just a great system.

1124
00:50:14,640 --> 00:50:17,480
Speaker 5: They're so unselfish. They don't care who's the leading scorer.

1125
00:50:17,520 --> 00:50:19,400
Speaker 5: They don't care who takes the most shots. They just

1126
00:50:19,440 --> 00:50:20,720
Speaker 5: cared that the good shot is taken.

1127
00:50:20,840 --> 00:50:23,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, the six guys for the Pacers scored in double

1128
00:50:23,160 --> 00:50:26,520
Speaker 2: figures in Game one. They had another thirty assists. There

1129
00:50:26,560 --> 00:50:29,040
Speaker 2: have been eight instances in this year's playoffs where teams

1130
00:50:29,080 --> 00:50:30,960
Speaker 2: have finished with thirty or more assists, and the Pacers

1131
00:50:31,040 --> 00:50:33,480
Speaker 2: have been the team to do it four times, so

1132
00:50:33,640 --> 00:50:35,279
Speaker 2: half of them. I mean, this is their thing, their

1133
00:50:35,400 --> 00:50:38,440
Speaker 2: mo their offense. Can they slow it? Can Cleveland slow it?

1134
00:50:38,680 --> 00:50:40,840
Speaker 2: Andrew Nemhar too, I know Mitchell got his points in

1135
00:50:40,880 --> 00:50:42,680
Speaker 2: the end, his game one points, so I guess the

1136
00:50:42,680 --> 00:50:45,759
Speaker 2: street continues. Took a lot of shots, thirty shots to

1137
00:50:45,760 --> 00:50:47,960
Speaker 2: get thirty three points. And Nemhar when you dive into

1138
00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:50,440
Speaker 2: the numbers. He shot one to ten on him, and

1139
00:50:50,480 --> 00:50:53,360
Speaker 2: Mitchell did against Andrew Nemhart. So not only Nemhard like

1140
00:50:53,360 --> 00:50:56,520
Speaker 2: bring it offensively, he did shut down their star player

1141
00:50:56,560 --> 00:50:59,440
Speaker 2: when he was matched on him. So I assume those

1142
00:50:59,480 --> 00:51:01,480
Speaker 2: numbers will be higher for Mitchell in game two, just

1143
00:51:01,480 --> 00:51:05,239
Speaker 2: percentage wise. But can they slow them down? And like Hunter,

1144
00:51:05,280 --> 00:51:08,160
Speaker 2: mobily got they got injured on consecutive plays there in

1145
00:51:08,200 --> 00:51:10,520
Speaker 2: the fourth quarter, and they continue to play, but they looked,

1146
00:51:10,719 --> 00:51:13,480
Speaker 2: you know, hobble to some extent. Kenny Atkinson was not

1147
00:51:13,520 --> 00:51:16,680
Speaker 2: happy about the Hunter fall and thought that was a

1148
00:51:16,680 --> 00:51:19,040
Speaker 2: little reckless. He might be getting a fine today too

1149
00:51:19,080 --> 00:51:22,240
Speaker 2: for some of his comments. But we'll see game two tonight.

1150
00:51:22,239 --> 00:51:24,840
Speaker 2: But like a bounce back from Cleveland or is this

1151
00:51:24,960 --> 00:51:26,759
Speaker 2: going to be what Indiana DIDs or a last series

1152
00:51:26,760 --> 00:51:27,279
Speaker 2: took first too?

1153
00:51:27,360 --> 00:51:27,480
Speaker 1: Right?

1154
00:51:27,840 --> 00:51:30,719
Speaker 3: I would hope that Hunter bounces back. You mentioned him.

1155
00:51:30,960 --> 00:51:33,040
Speaker 3: I thought he could have been better defensively getting out

1156
00:51:33,360 --> 00:51:36,640
Speaker 3: to the perimeter. So yes, I expect to bounce back

1157
00:51:36,640 --> 00:51:37,680
Speaker 3: for this entire roster.

1158
00:51:38,160 --> 00:51:40,440
Speaker 2: It could have been the case of like WHOA, this

1159
00:51:40,480 --> 00:51:43,279
Speaker 2: is an eye opening, jarring switch of what we just

1160
00:51:43,320 --> 00:51:45,600
Speaker 2: did in the first round and who we played to

1161
00:51:45,760 --> 00:51:49,040
Speaker 2: now playing this Indiana team. Would that's quite a change

1162
00:51:49,040 --> 00:51:52,840
Speaker 2: from the Miami Heat to the Indiana Pacers, So maybe

1163
00:51:53,000 --> 00:51:54,920
Speaker 2: you're a little more ready for it and know what

1164
00:51:54,960 --> 00:51:57,279
Speaker 2: they're going to be doing here. All right, we'll see

1165
00:51:57,280 --> 00:52:01,800
Speaker 2: tonight game two of that series, Game one of Wolves Warriors.

1166
00:52:02,520 --> 00:52:04,360
Speaker 2: Let's call it here so we can go over to sleep.

1167
00:52:07,080 --> 00:52:09,360
Speaker 2: We had some fun in Montreal, and again, congrats some

1168
00:52:09,440 --> 00:52:11,520
Speaker 2: Matt and Jill. But we're back here tomorrow morning. We'll

1169
00:52:11,520 --> 00:52:13,440
Speaker 2: see you in the Classic Factory. Hopefully our voices will

1170
00:52:13,440 --> 00:52:16,000
Speaker 2: be a little stronger. I feel like the tea is

1171
00:52:16,040 --> 00:52:16,880
Speaker 2: helping the honey.

1172
00:52:17,400 --> 00:52:22,839
Speaker 4: I got throat coat, throat coat. I'm laughing every time.

1173
00:52:22,920 --> 00:52:25,360
Speaker 2: Oh it's a jit called that. Yeah, it sounds like

1174
00:52:25,360 --> 00:52:26,520
Speaker 2: something just Trey Kurby called it.

1175
00:52:26,600 --> 00:52:28,440
Speaker 4: No, but it does. It really coats it up.

1176
00:52:28,480 --> 00:52:29,040
Speaker 2: Good, good.

1177
00:52:29,080 --> 00:52:31,479
Speaker 4: I think it was. I think it was the pop

1178
00:52:31,520 --> 00:52:32,600
Speaker 4: punk suite that got me.

1179
00:52:32,920 --> 00:52:33,759
Speaker 2: It was, man.

1180
00:52:33,800 --> 00:52:36,120
Speaker 5: It went from like Blink one eighty two to Some

1181
00:52:36,200 --> 00:52:38,560
Speaker 5: forty one to Fallout Boy, and.

1182
00:52:38,480 --> 00:52:41,160
Speaker 4: By the eighteenth time I was yelling, no.

1183
00:52:41,280 --> 00:52:44,520
Speaker 6: My what, but no, I have any bullets left? The

1184
00:52:44,520 --> 00:52:51,279
Speaker 6: fire man Eric I brought it though, right. Class was

Speaker 6: in session for sure, all right, guys, we'll see you tomorrow.

1186
00:52:53,600 --> 00:52:54,799
Speaker 6: Enjoy the game tonight until they clitter.

1187
00:52:54,880 --> 00:52:55,240
Speaker 2: Bros.

1188
00:52:55,480 --> 00:52:58,040
Speaker 4: You heard it here first, have a great time, turn up.

1189
00:52:58,239 --> 00:52:59,480
Speaker 2: Love you guys, awesome.

1190
00:52:59,680 --> 00:53:02,480
Speaker 3: Thanks for joining us, and remember it's always fun to

1191
00:53:02,520 --> 00:53:06,520
Speaker 3: go back to those one hit wonders. Just one stuffy.

1192
00:53:06,520 --> 00:53:08,280
Speaker 3: You know, we weard a lot of one hit wonders,

1193
00:53:08,320 --> 00:53:09,040
Speaker 3: but they don't want to hear it.

1194
00:53:09,320 --> 00:53:13,120
Speaker 2: Did you have a favorite song? You heard so many favorite?

1195
00:53:13,560 --> 00:53:16,240
Speaker 2: What were you were almost slapping though? You you couldn't

1196
00:53:16,320 --> 00:53:19,400
Speaker 2: dance slap the dance floor because it was all purple,

1197
00:53:19,960 --> 00:53:21,879
Speaker 2: it was all bricked. It was your hand.

1198
00:53:22,040 --> 00:53:23,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was worried about that for sure.

1199
00:53:24,160 --> 00:53:28,160
Speaker 5: A little KEBLA favor flavor that I really liked was

1200
00:53:28,160 --> 00:53:30,239
Speaker 5: when Celine Dion's It's All Coming Back to Me Now

1201
00:53:30,360 --> 00:53:34,200
Speaker 5: played full song, full song to to the quiet outro

1202
00:53:34,320 --> 00:53:35,640
Speaker 5: as well as it's like an anthem.

1203
00:53:35,800 --> 00:53:40,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, touching like this, holding like that, beautiful stuff.

1204
00:53:41,040 --> 00:53:43,120
Speaker 2: Guys, we'll stee tomorrow and brace with eight people
