WEBVTT - Big Game James Harden Brings Philly Back Even

0:00:10.640 --> 0:00:14.760
<v Speaker 1>Let's start with the Philly Boston Series sixers tied things

0:00:14.840 --> 0:00:19.400
<v Speaker 1>up to two raizor thin margin of going down three

0:00:19.400 --> 0:00:22.880
<v Speaker 1>to one. I don't know why, but Marcus Smart is

0:00:22.960 --> 0:00:27.440
<v Speaker 1>now in charge of hitting or just missing or just

0:00:27.520 --> 0:00:30.400
<v Speaker 1>taking game winners. That's just what his role is now

0:00:30.440 --> 0:00:33.280
<v Speaker 1>on this Boston Celtics team. Never Mind that there's Jason

0:00:33.280 --> 0:00:36.360
<v Speaker 1>Tatum there, never mind that there's Jalen Brown there. Never

0:00:36.479 --> 0:00:39.559
<v Speaker 1>mind that he's just one of the all time greatest

0:00:39.640 --> 0:00:44.440
<v Speaker 1>chucker inconsistent shooters in the league. One miss three that

0:00:44.479 --> 0:00:47.160
<v Speaker 1>could have won the Boston Celtics the game, and another

0:00:47.320 --> 0:00:51.920
<v Speaker 1>May three of Marcus Smart's in overtime that he actually

0:00:52.000 --> 0:00:55.800
<v Speaker 1>got off after the buzzer, so it went in. It

0:00:55.920 --> 0:00:59.560
<v Speaker 1>was very close and it was not good. That was

0:00:59.720 --> 0:01:02.240
<v Speaker 1>very very razor thin. But the biggest story, I think,

0:01:02.280 --> 0:01:06.560
<v Speaker 1>to me, feels like James Harden. James Harden as a

0:01:06.680 --> 0:01:11.360
<v Speaker 1>roller coaster is in full effect this playoffs. Usually we

0:01:11.400 --> 0:01:15.360
<v Speaker 1>can somewhat expect a level of consistency for him in

0:01:15.400 --> 0:01:18.640
<v Speaker 1>the playoffs, and it's usually not great, but he has

0:01:18.720 --> 0:01:23.360
<v Speaker 1>made headlines all series long. His fashion, whatever, the kind

0:01:23.360 --> 0:01:26.760
<v Speaker 1>of electric factory type fashion that he has going to

0:01:26.880 --> 0:01:30.119
<v Speaker 1>Vegas during an off day for a little baby party.

0:01:30.360 --> 0:01:33.000
<v Speaker 1>Like James Harden and little Baby are like the best

0:01:33.000 --> 0:01:35.320
<v Speaker 1>of friends. Like they're a little too close, if you

0:01:35.360 --> 0:01:37.160
<v Speaker 1>know what I'm saying, Like there's nothing wrong with it.

0:01:37.200 --> 0:01:39.560
<v Speaker 1>But they are like white on rice. They are peas

0:01:39.600 --> 0:01:43.520
<v Speaker 1>and carrots, James Harden and little Baby. And then to

0:01:43.600 --> 0:01:47.040
<v Speaker 1>putting up the best and worst games of his playoff

0:01:47.080 --> 0:01:50.040
<v Speaker 1>career in the same series, back to back to back

0:01:50.080 --> 0:01:54.760
<v Speaker 1>to back. Yes, forty five points Game one without MBID

0:01:54.920 --> 0:01:57.920
<v Speaker 1>at that point was probably his single best performance of

0:01:57.960 --> 0:02:02.200
<v Speaker 1>his playoff career. He then followed up with the two

0:02:02.240 --> 0:02:05.800
<v Speaker 1>worst shooting performances of his entire career playoffs and regular

0:02:05.840 --> 0:02:09.960
<v Speaker 1>season combined. That's true as well. And then how did

0:02:10.000 --> 0:02:14.880
<v Speaker 1>he follow that up? Forty two points, eight rebounds, nine assists,

0:02:15.200 --> 0:02:21.040
<v Speaker 1>four steals, one block, and a corner three to win

0:02:21.120 --> 0:02:24.520
<v Speaker 1>the game? Catch and shoot, James Harden, Who are you?

0:02:24.720 --> 0:02:29.359
<v Speaker 1>James Harden? He had a game tying three in regulation

0:02:29.520 --> 0:02:32.840
<v Speaker 1>and a game winning three in overtime. So two best

0:02:32.880 --> 0:02:36.519
<v Speaker 1>games of his career bookending the two worst shooting performances

0:02:36.600 --> 0:02:39.800
<v Speaker 1>of his career. That is the James Harden experience, folks.

0:02:40.080 --> 0:02:42.880
<v Speaker 1>Another fun fact about James Harden. He has now hit

0:02:42.919 --> 0:02:46.720
<v Speaker 1>two game winners in the same series, which is absurdly rare,

0:02:46.800 --> 0:02:49.000
<v Speaker 1>and the only other player to do that. The last

0:02:49.000 --> 0:02:53.840
<v Speaker 1>player to do that was his teammate, former teammate Kevin

0:02:53.919 --> 0:02:58.360
<v Speaker 1>Durant back in twenty twelve against the LA Lakers. Been

0:02:58.440 --> 0:03:02.200
<v Speaker 1>that kind of playoffs for James And the funniest part

0:03:02.240 --> 0:03:06.880
<v Speaker 1>to me was that James Harden got the strangest inspiration

0:03:07.040 --> 0:03:10.080
<v Speaker 1>for that performance from none other than Doc Rivers, in

0:03:10.160 --> 0:03:14.480
<v Speaker 1>the form of an inspirational song sent to him via

0:03:14.520 --> 0:03:17.640
<v Speaker 1>text message before he got to the arena, An eight

0:03:18.040 --> 0:03:21.600
<v Speaker 1>minute gospel song sent to James Harden. I didn't think

0:03:21.680 --> 0:03:23.840
<v Speaker 1>James Harden was into that kind of thing, but I

0:03:23.919 --> 0:03:27.680
<v Speaker 1>guess whatever works, right. Harden said he was in the

0:03:27.680 --> 0:03:33.000
<v Speaker 1>car with his friends, probably a little baby, and and

0:03:33.200 --> 0:03:38.320
<v Speaker 1>got the text message from Doc Rivers and then asked

0:03:38.320 --> 0:03:41.000
<v Speaker 1>his friends to put the song on. Hey, let's just

0:03:41.040 --> 0:03:42.920
<v Speaker 1>put the song on. Let's listen to the whole thing

0:03:42.960 --> 0:03:46.960
<v Speaker 1>through was little baby driving. It gets unclear does he

0:03:47.000 --> 0:03:51.160
<v Speaker 1>have a chauffeur, because nobody who's driving asks their friends, Hey,

0:03:51.200 --> 0:03:53.080
<v Speaker 1>let's just put this on. They just put it on, right,

0:03:53.080 --> 0:03:55.480
<v Speaker 1>That's just what you do when you're driving anyway, all

0:03:55.520 --> 0:03:58.520
<v Speaker 1>these things run through my head. So he listens to

0:03:58.560 --> 0:04:01.400
<v Speaker 1>it all the way through and he thought at that point,

0:04:01.400 --> 0:04:03.040
<v Speaker 1>and he said this in his postgame presser, that he

0:04:03.080 --> 0:04:06.880
<v Speaker 1>thought that this song had to have some good juju. Then,

0:04:07.040 --> 0:04:09.280
<v Speaker 1>as we know, he went on put on a show,

0:04:09.560 --> 0:04:13.120
<v Speaker 1>game tying three, game winning three, and PJ. Tucker said

0:04:13.120 --> 0:04:15.360
<v Speaker 1>it perfectly in the postgame presser with James Harden, you

0:04:15.440 --> 0:04:19.240
<v Speaker 1>better play that fucking song again before gay five because

0:04:19.800 --> 0:04:23.440
<v Speaker 1>whatever that song did, it got it. Which brings us

0:04:23.440 --> 0:04:26.200
<v Speaker 1>to PJ. Tucker, one of the more fascinating glue guys.

0:04:26.240 --> 0:04:30.760
<v Speaker 1>I think in the league, big time dog, I would say,

0:04:31.320 --> 0:04:33.280
<v Speaker 1>one of the biggest dogs in terms of the role

0:04:33.320 --> 0:04:36.279
<v Speaker 1>player position. Like if you have the he's got that

0:04:36.320 --> 0:04:39.760
<v Speaker 1>dog in a meme, that's PJ. Tucker and a guy

0:04:39.800 --> 0:04:42.000
<v Speaker 1>that the Sixers have desperately needed in the post Jimmy

0:04:42.040 --> 0:04:44.960
<v Speaker 1>Butler era, because as we know, Jimmy was that guy

0:04:45.600 --> 0:04:49.000
<v Speaker 1>that instilled confidence and grit and once he left, the

0:04:49.040 --> 0:04:52.359
<v Speaker 1>team got soft as baby shit. Right, So it is

0:04:52.400 --> 0:04:54.920
<v Speaker 1>time that we do break down a little bit of PJ. Tucker.

0:04:55.680 --> 0:05:00.720
<v Speaker 1>I asked Philadelphia podcaster Ryan Rostein. I was asking him, Hey, like,

0:05:00.960 --> 0:05:04.880
<v Speaker 1>tell me about PJ. Tucker and how impactful he is

0:05:05.320 --> 0:05:09.680
<v Speaker 1>on this team. His response, in my opinion, was fascinating.

0:05:09.600 --> 0:05:15.640
<v Speaker 2>Everything but points. It's you know, he's It was frustrating

0:05:15.680 --> 0:05:19.440
<v Speaker 2>in the regular season because he did that often and

0:05:19.720 --> 0:05:23.480
<v Speaker 2>the value couldn't be seen in the regular season because

0:05:23.680 --> 0:05:26.400
<v Speaker 2>you know, those games don't matter and the style is

0:05:26.480 --> 0:05:29.960
<v Speaker 2>significantly different. But he brings everything to this team. He

0:05:30.040 --> 0:05:33.719
<v Speaker 2>brings toughness, he brings leadership. I look at PJ. Tucker

0:05:33.760 --> 0:05:37.320
<v Speaker 2>as the leader. I talked about it for years about

0:05:37.320 --> 0:05:40.359
<v Speaker 2>how this Sixers team lacked leadership and Beans not a leader.

0:05:40.400 --> 0:05:43.120
<v Speaker 2>And Bean's not a grab your shirt, what are you doing?

0:05:43.240 --> 0:05:46.400
<v Speaker 2>Let's go guy Like, he's not raw raw, He's not

0:05:46.440 --> 0:05:50.479
<v Speaker 2>gonna say anything or lead. Neither really is Tobias or hardened.

0:05:50.600 --> 0:05:55.160
<v Speaker 2>So Tucker's providing leadership and toughness that this Sixers team

0:05:56.200 --> 0:05:57.840
<v Speaker 2>has been lacking for a long time.

0:05:58.320 --> 0:06:02.200
<v Speaker 1>Facts has been lacked for a long time. And of

0:06:02.200 --> 0:06:05.320
<v Speaker 1>course PJ. Tucker went out and did what PJ Tucker

0:06:05.400 --> 0:06:12.040
<v Speaker 1>does six points, three rebounds, one assists, four fouls, impactful,

0:06:12.160 --> 0:06:15.120
<v Speaker 1>probably hard fouls. Still managed to be a plus one

0:06:15.480 --> 0:06:18.360
<v Speaker 1>in thirty one minutes in a game they won by

0:06:19.279 --> 0:06:23.600
<v Speaker 1>checks notes one. That seems absurd, but no one has

0:06:23.600 --> 0:06:26.240
<v Speaker 1>crazy stat lines like PJ Tucker. You look at Game

0:06:26.279 --> 0:06:28.480
<v Speaker 1>one when there was no Embiid, when the Sixer stole

0:06:29.040 --> 0:06:31.920
<v Speaker 1>Game one and TD Garden. Tucker in that game thirty

0:06:31.920 --> 0:06:38.000
<v Speaker 1>seven points without attempting a single field goal, ubsurd, five

0:06:38.080 --> 0:06:41.080
<v Speaker 1>and one, two steals, and in a four point win,

0:06:41.440 --> 0:06:46.800
<v Speaker 1>PJ Tucker was a plus six, exactly the amount that

0:06:46.839 --> 0:06:50.680
<v Speaker 1>they're winning by PJ Tucker is a plus of that

0:06:50.760 --> 0:06:54.320
<v Speaker 1>same amount. That's how impactful and important PJ Tucker is.

0:06:54.600 --> 0:06:57.839
<v Speaker 1>I think what we call PJ Tucker is Jimmy Butler

0:06:57.839 --> 0:07:01.360
<v Speaker 1>if Jimmy Butler couldn't score. That's what he is. He

0:07:01.400 --> 0:07:04.080
<v Speaker 1>does all the same things that Jimmy Butler does, except

0:07:04.120 --> 0:07:06.520
<v Speaker 1>for put the basketball in the hoop. One minute he's

0:07:06.560 --> 0:07:08.960
<v Speaker 1>deflecting a pass, the next he's in bee ball Paul's

0:07:08.960 --> 0:07:14.600
<v Speaker 1>face imploring him, just furiously telling him YO play defense,

0:07:15.000 --> 0:07:18.400
<v Speaker 1>get some rebounds. One of the best moments I think

0:07:18.920 --> 0:07:23.280
<v Speaker 1>that highlights PJ Tucker in this particular instance is so

0:07:23.680 --> 0:07:26.240
<v Speaker 1>Joel Embiid has been known to be a little lazy

0:07:26.640 --> 0:07:30.600
<v Speaker 1>in all moments, not just regular season moments. Joel Embiid

0:07:30.800 --> 0:07:35.600
<v Speaker 1>sometimes doesn't have the most consistent motor in the fourth

0:07:35.680 --> 0:07:39.240
<v Speaker 1>quarter when they are razor thin in the fight. In

0:07:39.360 --> 0:07:41.800
<v Speaker 1>the thick of the battle with the Boston Celtics, he

0:07:41.880 --> 0:07:45.680
<v Speaker 1>watches Joel Embiid take multiple plays off. So what does

0:07:45.720 --> 0:07:50.200
<v Speaker 1>he do. He gets into inside of Joel Embiid's asshole,

0:07:50.560 --> 0:07:54.800
<v Speaker 1>just reaming him, just yelling at him, grabbing onto his

0:07:54.920 --> 0:07:58.920
<v Speaker 1>jersey like that's not the MVP. And they ask him

0:07:58.920 --> 0:08:00.760
<v Speaker 1>about it after the game, and this is what he

0:08:00.840 --> 0:08:01.360
<v Speaker 1>had to say.

0:08:02.160 --> 0:08:04.440
<v Speaker 3>No Viking guard Joe one on one. There's no way.

0:08:04.560 --> 0:08:08.720
<v Speaker 3>I'm sorry, it's I dispected or anybody else. Bautguard him

0:08:08.720 --> 0:08:12.640
<v Speaker 3>for a lot of years, and when he's aggressive in asertive,

0:08:12.880 --> 0:08:15.480
<v Speaker 3>it's impossible. And I've seen him two or three plays

0:08:15.520 --> 0:08:18.440
<v Speaker 3>in a row and not do that. And we can't

0:08:18.440 --> 0:08:21.440
<v Speaker 3>add at. We can add at now with a season

0:08:21.480 --> 0:08:22.480
<v Speaker 3>on the line, we can't have it.

0:08:23.000 --> 0:08:27.000
<v Speaker 1>Can't have that he's taking plays off. Can't have that, No, sir.

0:08:27.520 --> 0:08:31.160
<v Speaker 1>Joel Embiid one of the most dominant scores. Physically imposing,

0:08:31.400 --> 0:08:34.200
<v Speaker 1>has some of the best footwork you'll ever see, like

0:08:34.400 --> 0:08:36.920
<v Speaker 1>very light touch around the rim, hits, his free throws,

0:08:37.040 --> 0:08:39.720
<v Speaker 1>can shoot threes. You're not stopping that man. The only

0:08:39.800 --> 0:08:43.520
<v Speaker 1>thing stopping Joel Embiid is Joel Embiid's motor. So if

0:08:43.520 --> 0:08:46.480
<v Speaker 1>the motor is going at full blast, Sixers could win

0:08:46.520 --> 0:08:49.840
<v Speaker 1>a title. That is what PJ. Tucker is there to

0:08:50.000 --> 0:08:52.560
<v Speaker 1>wind a little Joel Embiid up and to get the

0:08:52.600 --> 0:08:56.160
<v Speaker 1>motor to restart in critical moments when he is taking

0:08:56.200 --> 0:09:01.520
<v Speaker 1>time off. Also listen, if he didn't do that, Sixers

0:09:01.520 --> 0:09:04.400
<v Speaker 1>are probably down three to one. That's just the fact.

0:09:05.480 --> 0:09:08.960
<v Speaker 1>One final point though about the Sixers. Doc Rivers I

0:09:09.040 --> 0:09:12.080
<v Speaker 1>ever thought I'd say it, folks. Doc Rivers has been

0:09:12.080 --> 0:09:17.640
<v Speaker 1>really good. His coaching has been on tippy top shape,

0:09:17.720 --> 0:09:20.640
<v Speaker 1>the type of Doc Rivers coaching that we thought he

0:09:20.800 --> 0:09:23.959
<v Speaker 1>was when he was in Boston, right handling things perfectly,

0:09:24.320 --> 0:09:27.560
<v Speaker 1>adjusting the lineup to make up for no and beating

0:09:27.640 --> 0:09:30.360
<v Speaker 1>Game one, keeping some of the players out from the

0:09:30.400 --> 0:09:33.640
<v Speaker 1>lineup that we thought might get significant minutes using Harden

0:09:33.880 --> 0:09:37.959
<v Speaker 1>in a catch and shoot situation. What has James Harden

0:09:37.960 --> 0:09:40.480
<v Speaker 1>ever done that? Looking at the film to get this

0:09:40.559 --> 0:09:43.280
<v Speaker 1>team to have better spacing, better ability in the pick

0:09:43.320 --> 0:09:47.120
<v Speaker 1>and roll Game four, you see this changing. He is

0:09:47.200 --> 0:09:50.720
<v Speaker 1>having some of the best coaching playoffs I've ever seen,

0:09:51.679 --> 0:09:56.080
<v Speaker 1>obviously sending Harden the eight minute long gospel song. Something

0:09:56.120 --> 0:09:58.439
<v Speaker 1>has gotten into Doc Rivers. I don't know if it's

0:09:58.480 --> 0:10:01.000
<v Speaker 1>just because of how bad Joe was is, but Doc

0:10:01.120 --> 0:10:05.040
<v Speaker 1>Rivers is coaching circles around Joe Mizula. Another thing that's

0:10:05.080 --> 0:10:08.120
<v Speaker 1>impressive in terms of Dox's coaching. He is doing something

0:10:08.320 --> 0:10:14.320
<v Speaker 1>very underrated. Kerr does this. Spoe does this even after

0:10:14.360 --> 0:10:18.000
<v Speaker 1>a win. He's just moving the chess pieces, calling out

0:10:18.040 --> 0:10:21.880
<v Speaker 1>the refs, getting very mad because Jason Tatum pushed off

0:10:22.280 --> 0:10:24.679
<v Speaker 1>on a three point that he made that could have

0:10:24.800 --> 0:10:28.719
<v Speaker 1>lost the Sixers the game to set up more favorable

0:10:28.760 --> 0:10:30.640
<v Speaker 1>calls in Game five.

0:10:31.080 --> 0:10:35.679
<v Speaker 4>Jason Tatum's three was awful. That that wasn't called awful?

0:10:36.960 --> 0:10:39.680
<v Speaker 4>Did you did you think it was a push off?

0:10:39.800 --> 0:10:44.040
<v Speaker 4>I'm asking you no, no, be committed. Did you think

0:10:44.080 --> 0:10:46.920
<v Speaker 4>it was a push off? It was a push off?

0:10:46.960 --> 0:10:47.400
<v Speaker 1>You can't.

0:10:47.840 --> 0:10:50.640
<v Speaker 4>And the reason that it bugged me because at the

0:10:50.720 --> 0:10:52.480
<v Speaker 4>end of the game they were the touch files. You know,

0:10:52.640 --> 0:10:58.800
<v Speaker 4>Jason Tatum has a three sixty foul. Uh Marcus Smartin

0:10:58.840 --> 0:11:02.079
<v Speaker 4>Tuck gets tangled up touch foul, So we're gonna call

0:11:02.120 --> 0:11:06.200
<v Speaker 4>it that way. Then you have to call that to me.

0:11:06.640 --> 0:11:08.120
<v Speaker 4>You got to call that play. I know it's a

0:11:08.120 --> 0:11:11.360
<v Speaker 4>big play, and I'm a big fan of res not deciding,

0:11:11.720 --> 0:11:13.320
<v Speaker 4>but that could have decided the game.

0:11:13.800 --> 0:11:16.840
<v Speaker 1>That could have decided the game. Good job, Doc, Is

0:11:16.880 --> 0:11:17.280
<v Speaker 1>he wrong?

0:11:17.440 --> 0:11:17.600
<v Speaker 4>No?

0:11:17.760 --> 0:11:20.080
<v Speaker 1>That was an absolute push off, And I love the

0:11:20.080 --> 0:11:23.760
<v Speaker 1>fact that Doc Rivers forced the reporter to also admit,

0:11:24.440 --> 0:11:27.480
<v Speaker 1>do not be going both sides of the line with me. Reporter,

0:11:27.800 --> 0:11:29.400
<v Speaker 1>did you think it was a push off or was

0:11:29.440 --> 0:11:33.400
<v Speaker 1>it not? Okay? Doc is on one in this series.

0:11:33.559 --> 0:11:35.320
<v Speaker 1>Is that enough to put him over the top? I

0:11:35.360 --> 0:11:39.120
<v Speaker 1>don't know. Probably maybe. Joe Mizula continues to be asked

0:11:39.160 --> 0:11:42.360
<v Speaker 1>at the end of games and came out and admitted that, Yeah,

0:11:42.440 --> 0:11:44.920
<v Speaker 1>I fucked up. At the end of game four, he

0:11:45.000 --> 0:11:47.800
<v Speaker 1>had this to say after the game, hindsight is twenty twenty.

0:11:48.440 --> 0:11:50.320
<v Speaker 1>I should have called the time out at the end

0:11:50.320 --> 0:11:53.240
<v Speaker 1>of ot to help us go for a two for

0:11:53.320 --> 0:11:57.440
<v Speaker 1>one situation for a couple more possessions. Obviously, fourteen seconds

0:11:57.520 --> 0:11:59.840
<v Speaker 1>left down one you want as many chances as you can.

0:12:00.280 --> 0:12:05.240
<v Speaker 1>So definitely learned from that. Ooh, Joe Mizoula, how Mike

0:12:05.280 --> 0:12:10.760
<v Speaker 1>Budenholzer of you? That is something else, especially considering that

0:12:10.840 --> 0:12:13.920
<v Speaker 1>Joe Mazzola literally just after Game three came out and

0:12:14.000 --> 0:12:17.280
<v Speaker 1>was like, what about those adjustments? What about those adjustments?

0:12:17.320 --> 0:12:21.080
<v Speaker 1>I had wow while walking out the door. Not just

0:12:21.120 --> 0:12:23.319
<v Speaker 1>the end of the game management. It's what Marcus said

0:12:23.360 --> 0:12:27.679
<v Speaker 1>also last week. Yeah, speaking of Bootenholzers, sounds exactly like

0:12:27.760 --> 0:12:30.920
<v Speaker 1>Boodenholzer here too. Yeah, most of our offense is just random.

0:12:31.040 --> 0:12:34.760
<v Speaker 1>We're just getting random out here. That's why Jalen Brown's

0:12:34.800 --> 0:12:38.040
<v Speaker 1>postgame comments were so telling.

0:12:39.160 --> 0:12:42.240
<v Speaker 5>I guess I got to demand the ball a little

0:12:42.240 --> 0:12:44.600
<v Speaker 5>bit more. I thought good things happened when I had

0:12:44.640 --> 0:12:46.760
<v Speaker 5>it in my ass, But I thought our offense was

0:12:47.840 --> 0:12:52.680
<v Speaker 5>was was okay. I thought we we may, we chipped away,

0:12:52.720 --> 0:12:55.079
<v Speaker 5>we made big tim shots, we got great looks all

0:12:55.160 --> 0:12:59.240
<v Speaker 5>game long, and we just came up short.

0:12:59.240 --> 0:13:04.400
<v Speaker 1>And that give me the fucking ball. Jalen Brown should

0:13:04.679 --> 0:13:06.960
<v Speaker 1>like not be only shooting the ball through three times

0:13:06.960 --> 0:13:10.360
<v Speaker 1>in seventeen minutes of any game. Very very like clearly

0:13:10.800 --> 0:13:12.920
<v Speaker 1>let alone in a winnable game to go up three

0:13:12.960 --> 0:13:15.800
<v Speaker 1>to one and take the sixers and put them to sleep.

0:13:16.080 --> 0:13:19.480
<v Speaker 1>That is on the offense, and that offense is directed

0:13:19.480 --> 0:13:23.480
<v Speaker 1>by who Joe Mizzoula. If this series comes down to

0:13:23.520 --> 0:13:28.320
<v Speaker 1>who's coaching better, Doctor Joe. I hate to say it

0:13:28.320 --> 0:13:31.240
<v Speaker 1>because it is a wild thing for Doc rivers to

0:13:31.280 --> 0:13:34.440
<v Speaker 1>have a coaching edge in any series, in any playoff

0:13:34.520 --> 0:13:38.320
<v Speaker 1>series at all, but listen, I think Doc is head

0:13:38.360 --> 0:13:41.480
<v Speaker 1>and shoulders a better coach right now than Joe Mozia Azula.

0:13:41.600 --> 0:13:43.720
<v Speaker 1>So that means Boston may be out, and that is

0:13:43.760 --> 0:13:46.080
<v Speaker 1>saying a lot about the Eastern Conference.
