<v Speaker 4>Hey, let's see it.

0:01:04.920 --> 0:01:08.600
<v Speaker 5>Man shot during robbery of eight thousand dollars chain in Manhattan.

0:01:08.760 --> 0:01:10.880
<v Speaker 5>My thing is like when people like rob people for

0:01:10.959 --> 0:01:13.480
<v Speaker 5>those chains and public and stuff like that, It's like,

0:01:14.480 --> 0:01:17.480
<v Speaker 5>how do they know that the chain is worth the

0:01:17.680 --> 0:01:20.720
<v Speaker 5>I mean, the crimes obviously never worth it, but like, like.

0:01:20.680 --> 0:01:22.480
<v Speaker 4>What if that chain was a fake chain and it

0:01:22.560 --> 0:01:24.240
<v Speaker 4>was like six hundred bucks? Right?

0:01:24.280 --> 0:01:26.520
<v Speaker 3>In other words, should you be worried about someone robbing?

0:01:28.040 --> 0:01:42.920
<v Speaker 3>Is that the question? Welcome in to this episode twenty

0:01:43.000 --> 0:01:45.160
<v Speaker 3>six of What's Right with Nick right in the podcast

0:01:45.200 --> 0:01:48.800
<v Speaker 3>in YouTube show. But today is somewhat of a special episode.

0:01:48.880 --> 0:01:52.760
<v Speaker 3>So here's the deal. Usually we record these, you know,

0:01:52.840 --> 0:01:55.400
<v Speaker 3>in the afternoon evening, and then they come out the

0:01:55.440 --> 0:02:00.160
<v Speaker 3>following day. However, we are recording this Wednesday late at

0:02:00.240 --> 0:02:04.160
<v Speaker 3>late morning. It's gonna come out sometime today and it's

0:02:04.160 --> 0:02:06.520
<v Speaker 3>gonna be an abbreviated episode. Then we're gonna do a

0:02:06.600 --> 0:02:10.600
<v Speaker 3>full show tomorrow reacting to Game three of the Finals.

0:02:10.760 --> 0:02:13.560
<v Speaker 3>That's gonna come out sometime in the day on Thursday.

0:02:13.600 --> 0:02:16.440
<v Speaker 3>So you're gonna get bonus episodes this week and next

0:02:16.440 --> 0:02:18.800
<v Speaker 3>week because of the final schedule doesn't make a lot

0:02:18.840 --> 0:02:21.960
<v Speaker 3>of sense. First to our full regular show today, then

0:02:21.960 --> 0:02:24.560
<v Speaker 3>the game is played and so we're not able to

0:02:24.639 --> 0:02:26.920
<v Speaker 3>react to it. So we have a short show coming

0:02:26.919 --> 0:02:29.560
<v Speaker 3>today about a ten minute, quick little teaser show, and

0:02:29.600 --> 0:02:33.079
<v Speaker 3>then the full show tomorrow. We appreciate you listening, you subscribing,

0:02:33.320 --> 0:02:35.480
<v Speaker 3>doing all those things before we even get into the

0:02:35.480 --> 0:02:38.000
<v Speaker 3>show to Monday. I'm told there are things they want

0:02:38.040 --> 0:02:40.040
<v Speaker 3>to throw up at me, throw on the screen, there

0:02:40.040 --> 0:02:42.400
<v Speaker 3>are some funny things we're gonna do. We're not even

0:02:42.440 --> 0:02:44.800
<v Speaker 3>doing what we missed. Am I just supposed to go

0:02:44.880 --> 0:02:45.280
<v Speaker 3>right to you.

0:02:45.360 --> 0:02:45.680
<v Speaker 4>Okay.

0:02:45.720 --> 0:02:48.000
<v Speaker 3>At some point they're gonna try to throw me off

0:02:48.040 --> 0:02:50.400
<v Speaker 3>because we're doing this new new vangled show. They think

0:02:50.440 --> 0:02:52.720
<v Speaker 3>I'm not a broadcast professional, but I'm not gonna be

0:02:52.720 --> 0:02:54.919
<v Speaker 3>able to deal with them, you know what I mean,

0:02:55.000 --> 0:02:58.079
<v Speaker 3>like a running back in open space making defenders miss.

0:02:58.200 --> 0:02:59.760
<v Speaker 3>All right, but what are we talking about today? I

0:02:59.840 --> 0:03:01.360
<v Speaker 3>know what we're talking about, but just go ahead.

0:03:01.639 --> 0:03:04.160
<v Speaker 5>You switched up on the Warriors after Game two. Mm hm,

0:03:04.720 --> 0:03:06.680
<v Speaker 5>I don't even think that type of stuff was allowed.

0:03:06.760 --> 0:03:09.080
<v Speaker 3>You know, well, you're supposed to be honest with the audience.

0:03:09.160 --> 0:03:11.240
<v Speaker 3>You no longer thought the Warriors were gonna win.

0:03:11.520 --> 0:03:14.200
<v Speaker 5>You being a man of your word and all, Well, yeah,

0:03:14.320 --> 0:03:15.560
<v Speaker 5>I'm a man of my word.

0:03:15.639 --> 0:03:17.840
<v Speaker 3>I thought the Warriors were gonna win. I no longer

0:03:17.840 --> 0:03:20.520
<v Speaker 3>thought they were gonna win, So I owed the audience honesty.

0:03:20.600 --> 0:03:20.959
<v Speaker 4>Go ahead.

0:03:21.040 --> 0:03:23.720
<v Speaker 5>I feel like there's a specific argument I can make,

0:03:23.760 --> 0:03:25.079
<v Speaker 5>but I will continue.

0:03:25.360 --> 0:03:28.160
<v Speaker 4>Yeah. So I've got some questions about your character.

0:03:28.440 --> 0:03:31.240
<v Speaker 5>Okay, but the producers has got some questions for you,

0:03:31.280 --> 0:03:33.560
<v Speaker 5>and they want to know what's gonna happen in game three.

0:03:33.840 --> 0:03:36.000
<v Speaker 3>Okay, just real quick for I get into game three.

0:03:36.000 --> 0:03:38.320
<v Speaker 3>It's just a little note for you, as you're a fledgling,

0:03:38.440 --> 0:03:43.320
<v Speaker 3>up and coming broadcaster. If there's an argument you want

0:03:43.360 --> 0:03:46.400
<v Speaker 3>to make, you should either make it or keep the

0:03:46.480 --> 0:03:49.240
<v Speaker 3>fact that there's an argument you could make in your head.

0:03:49.440 --> 0:03:51.520
<v Speaker 3>What is not great is like there's something I could

0:03:51.560 --> 0:03:54.280
<v Speaker 3>say here, like when you're arguing with your girlfriend, Like, oh,

0:03:54.320 --> 0:03:57.160
<v Speaker 3>I could say something here, but I'm not going to

0:03:57.320 --> 0:04:00.000
<v Speaker 3>that's not great. Now what do I? Oh? I say?

0:04:00.240 --> 0:04:02.200
<v Speaker 3>This is funny they put on the screen. Can you

0:04:02.240 --> 0:04:06.080
<v Speaker 3>even do that? Nick the charlatan? And then the word integrity? Okay,

0:04:06.320 --> 0:04:08.520
<v Speaker 3>at least they didn't put a question work after integrity.

0:04:08.680 --> 0:04:11.440
<v Speaker 3>So here's the deal. I think Boston's gonna win tonight.

0:04:12.120 --> 0:04:15.440
<v Speaker 3>And I think Jeff Van Gundee talked about this, and

0:04:15.480 --> 0:04:18.320
<v Speaker 3>I think he's absolutely right. Oh, these are the photoshops.

0:04:18.320 --> 0:04:21.360
<v Speaker 3>It's the meme of me walking with a girl and

0:04:21.440 --> 0:04:23.520
<v Speaker 3>you see the more attractive girls so you look the

0:04:23.560 --> 0:04:27.560
<v Speaker 3>other way. That's honestly not the greatest photoshop job by

0:04:27.839 --> 0:04:28.680
<v Speaker 3>our tech staff.

0:04:28.960 --> 0:04:31.279
<v Speaker 4>And Boston has always been the girl in the blue

0:04:31.279 --> 0:04:31.520
<v Speaker 4>for me.

0:04:31.720 --> 0:04:34.360
<v Speaker 3>Okay, that's good to know. Then me, you know, me

0:04:34.520 --> 0:04:37.800
<v Speaker 3>taking the Celtics off ramp exit. That's great. Okay, this

0:04:37.839 --> 0:04:40.280
<v Speaker 3>is why you subscribe on YouTube so you can see

0:04:40.279 --> 0:04:43.960
<v Speaker 3>these shoddily done photo shops on ms paint that these

0:04:43.960 --> 0:04:45.880
<v Speaker 3>guys have put together. I don't even know what this

0:04:45.960 --> 0:04:49.560
<v Speaker 3>toy story photoshop is. I want to actually get into

0:04:50.040 --> 0:04:52.040
<v Speaker 3>these are the things that were gonna surprise me with.

0:04:52.200 --> 0:04:53.560
<v Speaker 3>I want to get into what I think is gonna

0:04:53.560 --> 0:04:57.080
<v Speaker 3>happen to Waz thinks these are hilarious. He's dying man.

0:04:58.080 --> 0:04:58.440
<v Speaker 4>Okay.

0:04:59.240 --> 0:05:02.520
<v Speaker 3>So here's what I think is gonna happen. I think

0:05:02.520 --> 0:05:05.160
<v Speaker 3>the Celtics are gonna try to bait Draymond from the

0:05:05.279 --> 0:05:08.320
<v Speaker 3>very beginning of the game, Jeff Van Gundy said this

0:05:08.440 --> 0:05:11.080
<v Speaker 3>to Zach Lowe, and I think he's right. He said,

0:05:11.600 --> 0:05:14.320
<v Speaker 3>the Celtics either have to decide we are going to

0:05:14.400 --> 0:05:19.080
<v Speaker 3>ignore him entirely, or every time he woolfs at somebody,

0:05:19.160 --> 0:05:21.760
<v Speaker 3>we're gonna woof back, We're gonna, you know, have Grant

0:05:21.800 --> 0:05:25.520
<v Speaker 3>maybe start Grant Williams and have Grant Williams try to

0:05:26.000 --> 0:05:29.359
<v Speaker 3>muck it up with him early. Scott Foster is the

0:05:29.400 --> 0:05:32.760
<v Speaker 3>ref tonight, which is to me noteworthy because Scott Foster

0:05:33.080 --> 0:05:38.040
<v Speaker 3>loves the center of attention stuff. We'll throw Draymond out.

0:05:38.320 --> 0:05:41.839
<v Speaker 3>I think Draymond taunting the refs was a big mistake

0:05:41.920 --> 0:05:46.400
<v Speaker 3>on his end, and I think the Celtics absolutely can

0:05:46.480 --> 0:05:49.400
<v Speaker 3>bait him into an early technical. Now folks will say, oh,

0:05:49.440 --> 0:05:53.400
<v Speaker 3>Draymond knows this, so he's not gonna act that way.

0:05:53.480 --> 0:05:59.440
<v Speaker 3>First of all, if he doesn't act borderline unhinged, he's

0:05:59.480 --> 0:06:03.320
<v Speaker 3>not that effective of a play. A huge part of

0:06:03.320 --> 0:06:08.000
<v Speaker 3>what he does is frustrating the opponent, getting in the

0:06:08.040 --> 0:06:12.919
<v Speaker 3>other guy's heads, doing slightly illegal to full on illegal screens,

0:06:13.040 --> 0:06:16.159
<v Speaker 3>grabbing guys, getting guys after the whistle. That is part

0:06:16.200 --> 0:06:18.320
<v Speaker 3>of what makes him great. As long as the refs

0:06:18.360 --> 0:06:20.600
<v Speaker 3>let him do it, So that's first of all. Second

0:06:20.600 --> 0:06:25.200
<v Speaker 3>of all, folks are acting like Draymond has a level

0:06:25.240 --> 0:06:29.200
<v Speaker 3>of self control that we have not yet seen demonstrated.

0:06:29.560 --> 0:06:34.120
<v Speaker 3>He absolutely, unequivocally could have been thrown out of Game two.

0:06:34.680 --> 0:06:37.279
<v Speaker 3>He already had the technical. He then got into it

0:06:37.320 --> 0:06:40.960
<v Speaker 3>with Jalen Brown. They went to the monitors instilled didn't.

0:06:41.360 --> 0:06:42.320
<v Speaker 4>Technically they didn't.

0:06:42.360 --> 0:06:44.880
<v Speaker 3>But my point is that was just dumb luck by

0:06:44.960 --> 0:06:47.400
<v Speaker 3>Draymond that they didn't give him a technical there. It

0:06:47.440 --> 0:06:50.520
<v Speaker 3>wasn't that Draymond ratcheted it down. It wasn't that Draymond

0:06:50.560 --> 0:06:53.680
<v Speaker 3>all of a sudden started being a better actor. It

0:06:53.800 --> 0:06:56.040
<v Speaker 3>was that the rest decided we're not throwing out for this.

0:06:56.320 --> 0:06:58.080
<v Speaker 3>It was on the board. He was gonna get thrown

0:06:58.080 --> 0:07:01.120
<v Speaker 3>out right there. The way he acted after he was

0:07:01.160 --> 0:07:05.000
<v Speaker 3>ejected from the Grizzlies game is a guy that he

0:07:05.080 --> 0:07:08.760
<v Speaker 3>gets himself so hyped up and to such a froth,

0:07:08.839 --> 0:07:11.120
<v Speaker 3>if you will, that I don't think he can ratchet

0:07:11.200 --> 0:07:13.240
<v Speaker 3>it down and still be as effective as he needs

0:07:13.240 --> 0:07:14.960
<v Speaker 3>to be. So that's one of the reasons I like

0:07:14.960 --> 0:07:17.800
<v Speaker 3>the Celtics tonight. Another reason I like the Celtics tonight

0:07:17.880 --> 0:07:22.400
<v Speaker 3>is this going into the series. When I picked the Warriors, initially,

0:07:22.760 --> 0:07:25.400
<v Speaker 3>I said, if it's close late, I don't trust Boston.

0:07:26.120 --> 0:07:29.320
<v Speaker 3>If it's close late, who is the five on the

0:07:29.400 --> 0:07:33.760
<v Speaker 3>four for Golden State? We know Steps out there, we

0:07:33.840 --> 0:07:37.120
<v Speaker 3>know Draymond's out there, But now you're really playing five

0:07:37.200 --> 0:07:39.560
<v Speaker 3>on four on offense. We know Wiggins is.

0:07:39.480 --> 0:07:43.200
<v Speaker 4>Out there, Cold Clay Clay, which.

0:07:43.040 --> 0:07:45.600
<v Speaker 3>Is not necessarily a good thing right now, and then

0:07:45.600 --> 0:07:48.840
<v Speaker 3>who's their fifth. I don't think you can have Jordan

0:07:48.920 --> 0:07:51.440
<v Speaker 3>Poole and Croach crunch time. I don't think you can

0:07:51.480 --> 0:07:55.200
<v Speaker 3>have Kevon Looney and Draymond out there simultaneously in crunch time.

0:07:55.520 --> 0:08:01.320
<v Speaker 3>Not against Boston. Wiggins, I already said, Wiggins, Wiggins, Clay, Steph, Draymond,

0:08:02.360 --> 0:08:07.800
<v Speaker 3>Gary Payton. I don't think you can have Pool out there.

0:08:08.160 --> 0:08:11.680
<v Speaker 3>And I don't think against Boston you can play the

0:08:11.720 --> 0:08:15.520
<v Speaker 3>two bigs, because if you play the two bigs, Boston

0:08:15.600 --> 0:08:20.160
<v Speaker 3>can go small with some signs. So you go Looney

0:08:20.240 --> 0:08:24.440
<v Speaker 3>and Draymond. Boston can have Grant Williams and Al Horford

0:08:24.680 --> 0:08:27.480
<v Speaker 3>and play five out Now you'll crush him on the glass.

0:08:27.600 --> 0:08:30.720
<v Speaker 3>But I don't think you can defend if Boston has

0:08:30.760 --> 0:08:33.959
<v Speaker 3>five shooters or super shooters out there. I just.

0:08:35.440 --> 0:08:35.920
<v Speaker 5>I think in.

0:08:36.120 --> 0:08:42.640
<v Speaker 3>Order for the Warriors to win, Steph has to be phenomenal.

0:08:42.720 --> 0:08:47.000
<v Speaker 3>And I also think it's worth noting that game threes.

0:08:47.679 --> 0:08:50.360
<v Speaker 3>The Warriors in the twenty fifteen finals lost Game three

0:08:50.400 --> 0:08:53.400
<v Speaker 3>to Lebron and just Lebron, and they fell down two

0:08:53.440 --> 0:08:56.600
<v Speaker 3>to one. Warriors in the twenty sixteen Finals went up

0:08:56.640 --> 0:08:58.840
<v Speaker 3>three to one. The only of the first four they

0:08:58.880 --> 0:09:02.640
<v Speaker 3>lost was Game three. Warriors in the twenty seventeen Finals

0:09:03.160 --> 0:09:06.840
<v Speaker 3>they won Game three, but Katie was sensational. Where's in

0:09:06.880 --> 0:09:09.959
<v Speaker 3>the twenty eighteen finals, they won Game three, but Katie

0:09:10.000 --> 0:09:13.200
<v Speaker 3>had forty three points. Where's in the twenty nineteen Finals

0:09:13.480 --> 0:09:16.640
<v Speaker 3>lost Game three. So game three, for one reason or another,

0:09:17.320 --> 0:09:21.920
<v Speaker 3>has been the spot where they haven't had success. It's

0:09:21.960 --> 0:09:24.679
<v Speaker 3>for them, it's always been the first road game. I

0:09:24.679 --> 0:09:26.360
<v Speaker 3>don't know if Toronto it was the first road game

0:09:26.440 --> 0:09:28.280
<v Speaker 3>or not, now that I think of it, but regardless,

0:09:28.400 --> 0:09:30.640
<v Speaker 3>in fact, I can check that Real Quick was Toronto

0:09:30.760 --> 0:09:33.200
<v Speaker 3>their first road game that year. This year, it of

0:09:33.240 --> 0:09:36.560
<v Speaker 3>course is their first road game, and without Kevin Durant

0:09:36.960 --> 0:09:39.120
<v Speaker 3>they've never won a Game three in the finals. That

0:09:39.240 --> 0:09:42.400
<v Speaker 3>to me is at least that semi relevant especially because

0:09:42.400 --> 0:09:46.240
<v Speaker 3>they had had so much success against Toronto. That was

0:09:46.280 --> 0:09:47.800
<v Speaker 3>not the first road game that was back at home,

0:09:47.800 --> 0:09:49.760
<v Speaker 3>because against Toronto they didn't have home for it. That's

0:09:49.760 --> 0:09:52.520
<v Speaker 3>what I thought. I wasn't sure. So I really like

0:09:52.600 --> 0:09:56.560
<v Speaker 3>the Celtics tonight. I also like for Boston that Boston

0:09:56.600 --> 0:09:59.880
<v Speaker 3>has tied one to one with Tatum and Brown both

0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:03.120
<v Speaker 3>averaging twenty points and to me not playing great. Like

0:10:03.480 --> 0:10:06.800
<v Speaker 3>they've had moments, but they haven't played great. So you

0:10:06.880 --> 0:10:10.439
<v Speaker 3>were a little despondent after Game two. Let's be honest.

0:10:10.480 --> 0:10:12.800
<v Speaker 3>You put on a brave face the next day. I

0:10:12.920 --> 0:10:15.400
<v Speaker 3>was sitting next to you. I saw you were upset.

0:10:15.440 --> 0:10:17.480
<v Speaker 3>At one point, you did the thing I do, which

0:10:17.520 --> 0:10:20.600
<v Speaker 3>is after the third quarter when Poole hit that three,

0:10:20.640 --> 0:10:22.080
<v Speaker 3>you got up, you left the room. I think you

0:10:22.080 --> 0:10:24.000
<v Speaker 3>took Dexter for a walk and then came back.

0:10:24.240 --> 0:10:25.160
<v Speaker 4>You were upset.

0:10:25.400 --> 0:10:28.480
<v Speaker 3>What is your level of confidence tonight now going into

0:10:28.520 --> 0:10:28.840
<v Speaker 3>the game.

0:10:30.120 --> 0:10:32.640
<v Speaker 4>It's extremely high, extremely high.

0:10:32.720 --> 0:10:35.040
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I mean because I do think that Draymond had

0:10:35.080 --> 0:10:37.480
<v Speaker 5>a lot to do with the last win, yep, And

0:10:37.880 --> 0:10:39.800
<v Speaker 5>I just don't think that he has the ability to

0:10:39.840 --> 0:10:43.240
<v Speaker 5>do that again. And then, like you said, Jason Tatum

0:10:43.240 --> 0:10:46.880
<v Speaker 5>and Jaylen Brown on the averaging twenty points. I just

0:10:46.920 --> 0:10:50.840
<v Speaker 5>think they've been they've been kind of inconsistent throughout the whole,

0:10:50.920 --> 0:10:53.680
<v Speaker 5>like playoffs, and I just think there's a moment where

0:10:53.720 --> 0:10:55.880
<v Speaker 5>they just eventually they kick it on, like it's just

0:10:55.920 --> 0:10:59.360
<v Speaker 5>too bad to be true that they're consistently playing bad.

0:10:59.520 --> 0:11:02.120
<v Speaker 3>Listen, Marcus Smart's not gonna go one for six again.

0:11:02.320 --> 0:11:05.120
<v Speaker 3>Al Horford's not gonna go one for four again. Jalen

0:11:05.160 --> 0:11:08.160
<v Speaker 3>Brown isn't gonna go one for eleven in quarters two, three,

0:11:08.160 --> 0:11:11.160
<v Speaker 3>and four and so. And I do think there is

0:11:11.240 --> 0:11:14.560
<v Speaker 3>something to the fact that Tatum, without playing that well,

0:11:15.040 --> 0:11:17.200
<v Speaker 3>had twenty eight points and only.

0:11:17.000 --> 0:11:20.440
<v Speaker 4>Played three quarters or I guess twenty one after the first.

0:11:20.640 --> 0:11:22.280
<v Speaker 3>He had twenty one after the first half, he had

0:11:22.320 --> 0:11:24.960
<v Speaker 3>seven and the third, and he had zero in the

0:11:24.960 --> 0:11:26.920
<v Speaker 3>fourth and bear and didn't play much in the fourth.

0:11:27.440 --> 0:11:30.880
<v Speaker 3>I just a lot of the big signs to me

0:11:31.200 --> 0:11:35.600
<v Speaker 3>right now are favoring Boston. I listen, I've told you

0:11:35.640 --> 0:11:38.920
<v Speaker 3>I don't want you gambling on these games. I also

0:11:39.000 --> 0:11:41.439
<v Speaker 3>would tell you if there was going to be one

0:11:41.559 --> 0:11:45.120
<v Speaker 3>game this entire series that I would think to bet,

0:11:45.200 --> 0:11:48.280
<v Speaker 3>it would be this game. Boston minus three and a half,

0:11:49.000 --> 0:11:50.800
<v Speaker 3>and you probably don't even have to lay the points

0:11:50.840 --> 0:11:51.800
<v Speaker 3>with the dope shoe.

0:11:51.800 --> 0:11:53.200
<v Speaker 4>Na hit hit my boy Dani Lo.

0:11:54.000 --> 0:11:58.480
<v Speaker 3>Okay again, I'm not encouraging this behavior. However, if you're

0:11:58.520 --> 0:12:02.240
<v Speaker 3>gonna gamble on one game, this this Finals, this would

0:12:02.240 --> 0:12:04.200
<v Speaker 3>be the game. This is the game I have, and

0:12:04.440 --> 0:12:06.720
<v Speaker 3>this might come back to bite me. I pitched for

0:12:06.840 --> 0:12:10.000
<v Speaker 3>us to do a quick little mini show today. We

0:12:10.000 --> 0:12:11.480
<v Speaker 3>didn't even have to do it because we're doing a

0:12:11.480 --> 0:12:14.360
<v Speaker 3>full show tomorrow in reaction to Game three of the finals.

0:12:14.880 --> 0:12:16.360
<v Speaker 3>So maybe this is gonna come back to bite me.

0:12:16.400 --> 0:12:17.920
<v Speaker 3>There's gonna be a clip of me saying, this is

0:12:17.960 --> 0:12:21.440
<v Speaker 3>the game I'm most confident in. I really like Boston tonight.

0:12:21.800 --> 0:12:25.240
<v Speaker 3>I like I like the energy from the crowd. I

0:12:25.320 --> 0:12:28.280
<v Speaker 3>like the fact that that home court in Boston would

0:12:28.280 --> 0:12:30.839
<v Speaker 3>see I know this. This year, they haven't been great

0:12:30.960 --> 0:12:33.240
<v Speaker 3>in the at home. In the playoffs, they were two

0:12:33.320 --> 0:12:36.440
<v Speaker 3>and zero against the Nets, but since then they're three

0:12:36.440 --> 0:12:38.679
<v Speaker 3>and four at home, which is odd. But I do

0:12:38.720 --> 0:12:41.280
<v Speaker 3>think that home crowd gives them real energy. I think

0:12:41.360 --> 0:12:45.280
<v Speaker 3>the Warriors are far less likely to have that monster

0:12:45.480 --> 0:12:49.200
<v Speaker 3>third quarter when they don't have the crowd brry them

0:12:49.240 --> 0:12:53.040
<v Speaker 3>exactly right and I think, you know, the first Finals

0:12:53.080 --> 0:12:57.720
<v Speaker 3>game played in Boston in a dozen years. This to

0:12:57.760 --> 0:13:00.640
<v Speaker 3>me feels like it could be a flood gates game

0:13:00.720 --> 0:13:03.439
<v Speaker 3>for Boston where Boston gets out to.

0:13:03.400 --> 0:13:06.640
<v Speaker 4>Another regular playoff game the Finals. Correct.

0:13:06.720 --> 0:13:10.199
<v Speaker 3>And the other question I have is this, and this

0:13:10.240 --> 0:13:13.839
<v Speaker 3>is something Kerr. In game one, you can say it's

0:13:13.880 --> 0:13:16.200
<v Speaker 3>game one of the Finals. We're gonna wait and you know,

0:13:16.360 --> 0:13:19.240
<v Speaker 3>see how far we need to stretch Steph. Game two,

0:13:19.280 --> 0:13:21.160
<v Speaker 3>it didn't matter because they had a twenty three point

0:13:21.240 --> 0:13:25.760
<v Speaker 3>lead after the third quarter. How much is Kerr willing

0:13:26.120 --> 0:13:29.880
<v Speaker 3>to push Steph if the because Steph typically plays the

0:13:30.040 --> 0:13:33.560
<v Speaker 3>entire first, the entire third, and half of the second

0:13:33.559 --> 0:13:35.880
<v Speaker 3>half of the fourth, and that's how Steph gets to

0:13:35.920 --> 0:13:39.960
<v Speaker 3>his thirty six to forty minutes. If the Celtics are

0:13:40.040 --> 0:13:44.920
<v Speaker 3>up thirty two to twenty three after one, is he

0:13:45.080 --> 0:13:49.720
<v Speaker 3>still going to let Steph Curry spend the first five

0:13:49.960 --> 0:13:52.440
<v Speaker 3>six minutes of the second quarter on the bench or

0:13:52.520 --> 0:13:56.200
<v Speaker 3>is he going to push step when especially you have

0:13:56.280 --> 0:13:59.440
<v Speaker 3>these big gaps between games. The only game now, the

0:13:59.480 --> 0:14:02.079
<v Speaker 3>only game there's not the extra day of rest between

0:14:02.360 --> 0:14:05.480
<v Speaker 3>his games three and four. Game three, the you know

0:14:05.600 --> 0:14:08.880
<v Speaker 3>is tonight obviously in Game four is Friday, but still

0:14:08.880 --> 0:14:12.320
<v Speaker 3>there's no travel there. So that's what I'm interested to see.

0:14:12.520 --> 0:14:15.920
<v Speaker 3>I'm really interested to see. Also, how long of a

0:14:16.000 --> 0:14:19.720
<v Speaker 3>leash does Clay have? Because quietly, no real.

0:14:19.800 --> 0:14:23.360
<v Speaker 5>That's I don't want to say that's disrespectful, but that's all.

0:14:23.400 --> 0:14:26.360
<v Speaker 5>It's kind of because, I mean, Draymond's leash is pretty long.

0:14:26.440 --> 0:14:30.400
<v Speaker 3>Well, yes, Ramon Clay was killing them in Game three.

0:14:31.000 --> 0:14:33.920
<v Speaker 3>I mean, it is absolutely noteworthy that lay Thompson through

0:14:34.000 --> 0:14:37.080
<v Speaker 3>three quarters played twenty two minutes. First of all, it's

0:14:37.120 --> 0:14:40.440
<v Speaker 3>noteworthy that he only played twenty two minutes through three quarters.

0:14:40.600 --> 0:14:43.600
<v Speaker 3>That means he was pacing for around thirty minutes. That's

0:14:43.920 --> 0:14:49.040
<v Speaker 3>less than you'd expect, your a little shorter. And the

0:14:49.160 --> 0:14:52.520
<v Speaker 3>reason he only played those twenty two minutes. In those

0:14:52.560 --> 0:14:56.880
<v Speaker 3>twenty two minutes, Golden State was minus one in the

0:14:57.000 --> 0:15:01.080
<v Speaker 3>other fourteen minutes of Game three one through three Game

0:15:01.120 --> 0:15:03.880
<v Speaker 3>two quarters one through three they were plus twenty four.

0:15:04.480 --> 0:15:07.160
<v Speaker 3>So the Warriors were plus twenty four when Clay sat

0:15:07.200 --> 0:15:09.760
<v Speaker 3>in the first three quarters of Game two, they were

0:15:09.880 --> 0:15:13.080
<v Speaker 3>minus one when he was playing. That's noteworthy. I like

0:15:13.120 --> 0:15:15.520
<v Speaker 3>Boston big tonight. I'm sure you're gonna be very happy

0:15:15.680 --> 0:15:19.120
<v Speaker 3>that's our mini show. That's all we have for you today.

0:15:19.440 --> 0:15:22.320
<v Speaker 3>We will be right back here tomorrow afternoon with a

0:15:22.400 --> 0:15:25.400
<v Speaker 3>full breakdown analysis of what I think will be a

0:15:25.440 --> 0:15:28.400
<v Speaker 3>big Celtics win. Demons will make some money, I might

0:15:28.440 --> 0:15:31.160
<v Speaker 3>make some money. We'll do all that. That's tomorrow on

0:15:31.200 --> 0:15:32.360
<v Speaker 3>What's Right with Nick Craig.
