1
00:00:03,640 --> 00:00:05,760
Speaker 1: This is one of the better fish that I've seen.

2
00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:09,119
Speaker 1: It's long, it's shiny, it's translucent. It looks like a

3
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:12,880
Speaker 1: precious gem. I really like your fish. This one upset me.

4
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:15,200
Speaker 1: I don't think it was the flowering picture of you

5
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:17,720
Speaker 1: or your fish. I wish you would have shown a

6
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:21,640
Speaker 1: different angle. I hate this fish. This is the worst

7
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 1: fish I've ever seen. I hate your fish so much.

8
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:39,720

21
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:20,400
Speaker 2: while we went live, and then my internet crapped out.

22
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:22,759

23
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:23,319

00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 4: you just went away.

26
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:32,679
Speaker 2: That's unbelievable timing. That's okay, guys, moving forward, this should

Speaker 2: but email us in no dunks at the Athletic dot Com.

34
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 2: All right, how's everybody feeling after one day in of

35
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 2: playoff basketball? Everybody? Okay, I feel good.

36
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 3: I feel good. It's a little bit of normalcy. It's

37
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 3: August weird, but yeah, it feels good to grind out

38
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 3: a ten hour day watching playoffs. Other people have real problems,

39
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,800
Speaker 3: getting a little sleepy in games three, in games four,

40
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 3: and just kind of zoneing out of even game two.

41
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:21,959
Speaker 3: Thanks Raptors. It's gonna happen. It's gonna happen. But yeah,

42
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 3: he just got a battle. It's a tough grind, real

43
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:24,639
Speaker 3: tough grind.

44
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, someone's gotta do it. Someone's gotta be the hero

45
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 2: that we are. Yeah, we're gonna go through all four

46
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 2: of these games. That will be the plan here today.

47
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 2: We're gonna play a little. It's just one game. But

48
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 2: let's start with the Western Conference games. We'll make our

49
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 2: way to the Eastern Conference games. First one, let's start

50
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 2: with the nightcap tasks. You said it. My eyelids were

51
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 2: struggling a little bit, but I was happy because it

52
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 2: was an entertaining game. At the very least, you don't

53
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 2: want a sleep or you don't want a boring game

54
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:52,959
Speaker 2: for that last one, or then you're really in trouble.

55
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 2: But the Clippers they hold off Luka Doncic and the

56
00:02:56,200 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 2: Mavericks after Porzingis gets toss win Game one one eighteen

57
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 2: one ten. So fill in the blank task. It's just

58
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 2: one game.

59
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 3: But I don't want to be dramatic, but it's just

60
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 3: one game. But this series is over. They had to

61
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:17,920
Speaker 3: get game one. Luka Doncic was incredible. He is going

62
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 3: to get worn down as this series goes on. That's

63
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,640
Speaker 3: just bound to happen. Montrez Harrow, who hasn't played since March,

64
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 3: is gonna get better. Lou Williams, who got some wings

65
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 3: in Atlanta and missed some time, is gonna get better.

66
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 3: I think all those factors there just combined, plus the

67
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 3: way that the Clippers are gonna play Luca over and

68
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 3: over and over again, all combined the factor to the

69
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 3: result for me that this series needed to be won

70
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 3: by the MAVs here in game one. If they're gonna

71
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 3: win it, they had to get game one. And yeah,

72
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 3: let's get to that friggin call. And I don't want

73
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 3: to start off our first real playoff show talking about

74
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 3: a call. But it was absolutely the wrong call. It's

75
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 3: just one game. But those rules don't make sense. That

76
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 3: I mean is set the scene. Christophs Porzingis gets a

77
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 3: technical in the first half because the air punches after

78
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,159
Speaker 3: he was upset about a call. Okay, the rule is

79
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,359
Speaker 3: you can't punch the air. You can complain going up

80
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 3: and down the floor like Patrick Pevley did or other

81
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 3: players did in this game. But if you're just talking,

82
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 3: that's okay, and air punch is too demonstrative. They don't

83
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:29,280
Speaker 3: like that, Fine, that's the rule. He's got a tech.

84
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:33,839
Speaker 3: Second half, Marcus Morris holds on to Luka Doncic after

85
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 3: a whistle, and so christophs Worzingis comes in to have

86
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 3: a little chat. That's all that happened. He didn't shove anybody.

87
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:43,840
Speaker 3: There was a tiny bit of a skirmish, and then

88
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:47,720
Speaker 3: he's given his second technical. The second technical means you're ejected.

89
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:52,600
Speaker 3: And I just I wonder one if the referees knew

90
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 3: that he was being ejected, if that was his second

91
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 3: technical when they decided, well, this is against the rules.

92
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 3: He can't come and join this this little skirmish. He

93
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:05,479
Speaker 3: was the you know, he was the retaliator, I guess,

94
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 3: because he was sort of the third party and there

95
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 3: did they.

96
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,719
Speaker 2: Know that escalated things even though nothing escalated. That's the

97
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:11,360
Speaker 2: weirdest part.

98
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 3: Yeah right, yeah, did he He didn't escalate things? Yeah, absolutely,

99
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:18,040
Speaker 3: nothing happened. And so the refs whether or not they

100
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 3: talked to you know, the scorekeeper and found out that

101
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:23,840
Speaker 3: that was his second tech before making that call, or

102
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,480
Speaker 3: whether they found out that, hey, that's a technical foul

103
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 3: and then it walked away and then they realized, oh,

104
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 3: he's being ejected. Oh we can't go back on our word.

105
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:35,039
Speaker 3: Either way it was dumb or they're trying to get

106
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:38,719
Speaker 3: a handle on this series. In game one, it was dumb. So, yeah,

107
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 3: you take out your second their second best player, if

108
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:45,239
Speaker 3: that's the letter of the law. It's just one game,

109
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 3: but change the rules. I mean that was that was

110
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 3: just terrible to take off the second best player on

111
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 3: the floor there for the last half of the game.

112
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, what did you think, Trey, I mean, it's just

113
00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 5: one game, but nobody came to see Kane Fitzgerald. Those

114
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 5: are just brutal technicals, honestly, and like you're saying, tass

115
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:07,360
Speaker 5: Steve Javi explained a bit later, they are technically technicals

116
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 5: because you can't flail your arms. You're allowed to run away,

117
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 5: you're allowed to jump up and down, but you cannot

118
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 5: involve your arms when you're protesting a call. The two

119
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,480
Speaker 5: sy slide is fine, but do not try the macarena.

120
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 5: Just brutal to take Kristaps out of the game. And

121
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 5: once that happened, it just changed the tenor of the

122
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:26,359
Speaker 5: game where you knew that it was going to have

123
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 5: to be the Luca Show. Even more so, for Dallas

124
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:31,799
Speaker 5: to pull off and upset in game one and getting

125
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 5: a winning game one is huge. It really changes the series,

126
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 5: especially with no home court advantage. You're not going to

127
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 5: be getting the advantage of stealing home court from the

128
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:40,600
Speaker 5: Clippers or anything like that, but the fact that you're

129
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 5: playing all in the same gym. If you can get

130
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 5: a winning game one, you only need three more from

131
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 5: there on out. It would have been a great start

132
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:50,040
Speaker 5: for the Mavericks. But that's why you get Marcus Morris.

133
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 5: I suppose you know, he was pretty good defensively, He

134
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:57,040
Speaker 5: was solid offensively, but his biggest contribution was getting Kristaps

135
00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 5: riled up and getting him ejected, because the refs have

136
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:01,600
Speaker 5: to know that Ristaps already has a technical foul. If

137
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 5: you can't keep track of that for an hour and

138
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:04,600
Speaker 5: a half, then you're probably not going to be reffing

139
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 5: in the playoffs. But that's what Marcus Morris is out

140
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 5: there for. If that's what Kristaps said after the game,

141
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 5: I gotta be a little bit smarter. And that's true.

142
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 5: They were dumb technicals. But when you've got the first one,

143
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 5: you've got to really be walking the line, and you

144
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 5: know guys like Marcus Morris and Patrick Beverley are going

145
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 5: to try to get you to cross the line. That's

146
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 5: what happens in your first game of the playoffs, the

147
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:24,119
Speaker 5: emotions got to Christaps a little bit, despite the fact

148
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 5: that he wasn't super emotional. No, he didn't really pop off.

149
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 5: He didn't pop off.

150
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 2: He wasn't that emotional. That's the part that drives me insane.

151
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 2: And here's the other part. This was all an issue

152
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 2: because the play was under review for altercation. This is

153
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 2: when replay really botched this game. There was no reason

154
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 2: to go look at that. None, absolutely none. Okay, Morris

155
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 2: and Luca getting into it there. Yeah, oh, the classic

156
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 2: give me the ball type thing. Now it's mine, you know,

157
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 2: a little push push, push, and then in comes Christaps

158
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 2: and then Morris really pushed him. But they go and

159
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 2: look at it and then have to decide. I can't

160
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 2: believe they looked at that clip We've seen like a

161
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 2: hundred times already by now, and they decided, okay, we'll

162
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 2: just give him the double tee, knowing like you said, Trey,

163
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 2: that porzingis already has one which is already a really

164
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 2: questionable call in the first half on a clean block

165
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 2: and yeah, he air punches. You see all the other

166
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 2: Mavericks on the floor on that call on the first tech.

167
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 2: Porzingis everybody reacts. It's almost like a perfect in sync.

168
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 2: I almost sent to a worldwide wob You had like four

169
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 2: Mavericks going crazy over like wow. You guys called that

170
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 2: a foul.

171
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 3: That was a block that's allowed, that's allowed to throw

172
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 3: your two hands up into the air, I know, like

173
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 3: Chris or like Luca did after one call that he

174
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 3: was whistled for, which was a beauty strip slash block,

175
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 3: and he called it bullpucky and he yelled it as

176
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 3: loud as possible, and everybody in the building saw his

177
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 3: red face and saw him very furious. But because he

178
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 3: didn't throw a quote unquote air punch, he doesn't get

179
00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:00,840
Speaker 3: a TECH. I don't like the fact that when referees know,

180
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:05,200
Speaker 3: you know, they bend the rules later in because a

181
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 3: guy has attacked and will not give him a second teck.

182
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 3: Like it just didn't warn a second tech. And so

183
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 3: I don't think you even had to bend the rules, right,

184
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 3: And so that's the really unfortunate part. And they were

185
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 3: probably like you said, Trey, people don't come to see

186
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 3: the referees. As Joe Varden pointed out, the only ejection

187
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:27,719
Speaker 3: Lebron James has ever had was by that same official

188
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 3: and maybe they're trying to get a hold of this

189
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 3: series because it's day one of this crazy new iteration

190
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 3: of the playoffs and they just don't want anything to escalate.

191
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:43,440
Speaker 3: But man, Chris STAPs, should you not defend your teammate?

192
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 3: Like I am going to teach my children and my

193
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:51,080
Speaker 3: kids if they play a sport or anybody that I

194
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,600
Speaker 3: know to play a sport, to come to the defense

195
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,440
Speaker 3: of a guy who is being talked to really by

196
00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 3: another player. I'm just going to have that my my

197
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:02,960
Speaker 3: kids jump in there and say, hey, don't mess with

198
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:06,560
Speaker 3: my dude. And that's all Christap Sportsingis did. And Marcus Morris, yeah,

199
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 3: played the trade was worth it to this point that

200
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 3: the trade that they made in February for Marcus Morris,

201
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 3: as he said, trade, it's perfect that it is a

202
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 3: perfect storm there for Marcus Morris, it's terrible.

203
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 2: Oh my god. Well let's talk a little bit about

204
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 2: because we all agree it was horrible. He shouldn't have

205
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:23,560
Speaker 2: been tossed. I can't. I haven't found anyone that's like, yep,

206
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 2: that was a good, good decision there to actually throw

207
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 2: him out.

208
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 5: Who knows Steve Javi, Steve Javi definitely had the rest back.

209
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,680
Speaker 2: Shocker, that actually is a fair call. Wait in fact

210
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 2: check me on that. Yeah, let's go to Steve Javiy's opinion. Yeah,

211
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:38,560
Speaker 2: I think the referee absolutely got it right. Also, rest

212
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:41,559
Speaker 2: in peace to Steve Javy who died in twenty eleven,

213
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:43,320
Speaker 2: but his ghost is back. That was a weird graphic

214
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 2: how they did that. Let's talk about the actual game though.

215
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 2: You know, Luca definitely getting knocked around by the Clippers

216
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:53,679
Speaker 2: and a lot of guys that can throw at him,

217
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 2: though he was embarrassing some of them. Patrick Beverly, sorry, buddy,

218
00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 2: you're too small. He was cooking him anytime he was

219
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:01,960
Speaker 2: matched up onto him. But what did you think about

220
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:05,599
Speaker 2: the rough start task for Luca? A lot of turnovers

221
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:08,320
Speaker 2: look flustered. I mean they're down huge, and you know,

222
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 2: then he rolls the ankle and sort of comes back.

223
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 2: It's a retaped and then he's like Superman for basically

224
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 2: the rest of the game. I mean, he had a

225
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 2: dominant game forty two points, most ever in a playoff debut,

226
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 2: Like it's it's a bummer that we had to start

227
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 2: with the KP because he got Luca doing this Ya

228
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:24,840
Speaker 2: and Kawhi dominating this game as well, just you know

229
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:27,440
Speaker 2: the quiet assassins Kawhi was. But what do you think

230
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 2: of Luca overall?

231
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I debated whether or not to start predominantly with

232
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 3: that referee call, but they really changed the fourth quarter

233
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:38,200
Speaker 3: of this game, when Luca was still carrying the team

234
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:42,199
Speaker 3: on his back. It was a phenomenal performance. Yeah, his

235
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 3: first playoff game, even though he's been playing essentially playoff

236
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 3: game since he was the age of Coco Goff in Europe, like,

237
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 3: he has had a lot of pressure on his shoulders

238
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 3: and it showed that. Yeah. Look, he looked at the

239
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:58,959
Speaker 3: box square after the game and he said, wow, double

240
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 3: digit and turnovers that that ain't right. But come on,

241
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 3: he's got all these bodies coming after him and the

242
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 3: ability to still score and find guys with amazing passes. Yes,

243
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:16,199
Speaker 3: there were some mistakes, but I thought Luca's performance was great.

244
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:18,560
Speaker 3: They also in that first half when Luca went to

245
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 3: the bench, those were terrible minutes for the MAVs, and

246
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:24,200
Speaker 3: I think they corrected it a little bit in the

247
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 3: second half. Instead of having a backup ball handler when

248
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 3: Luca is off the floor, control things like a Delon

249
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:32,440
Speaker 3: right in the first half when things went really bad,

250
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:34,560
Speaker 3: they just decided, you know what, let's give a little

251
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,560
Speaker 3: bit more to our center, to Bobon who has taking

252
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 3: Christops minutes there, and just sort of run through him

253
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 3: with triple handoffs and there'll be less turnovers because you

254
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:46,200
Speaker 3: can't bowl through Boban the way you can go at

255
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 3: a Delon. Right, So I think that was a nice correction.

256
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:51,200
Speaker 3: And the way the MAVs didn't fold, and the way

257
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 3: Luca didn't fold and found guys and they were clanking

258
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:57,080
Speaker 3: there in the fourth quarter a little bit. Man, what

259
00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 3: a performance. I don't know why I ever questioned Luca

260
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 3: ever he is. That was the most in a playoff debut.

261
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 3: I think you have to repeat that skeets like that

262
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:08,680
Speaker 3: is a phenomenal performance, and that's why I think it's

263
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 3: just gonna get tougher for him as the series goes along.

264
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:12,960
Speaker 3: But I thought he was great.

265
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 2: Yeah.

266
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 5: I love seeing him look like a young player playing

267
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 5: in his first NBA playoff games. And then it was

268
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:20,840
Speaker 5: also awesome to see that it took all of three

269
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:23,839
Speaker 5: minutes for him to adjust basically right like he rolls

270
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 5: that ankle, comes over to the bench and Carlisle's like, Hey,

271
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 5: this is the NBA Playoffs. They're gonna knock you down. Okay, great,

272
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 5: I'm gonna goore forty two points. That sounds gonna be.

273
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:32,960
Speaker 5: I guess this is how I'm gonna have to be.

274
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:37,079
Speaker 5: But I couldn't believe looking at the box score after

275
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 5: the game that Kawhi Leonard had had such a good game.

276
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 5: You know, he just piles up points, piles up rebounds.

277
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:44,680
Speaker 5: You know, it doesn't feel like he's really putting his

278
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 5: stamp on the game. But then he hits enough fourteen

279
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 5: footers in the lane barely over MAXI cleeve his hands

280
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:51,840
Speaker 5: and suddenly he's putting up a twenty nine to twelve.

281
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:54,080
Speaker 5: He was great. Paul George was great, hitting a couple

282
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 5: of big shots late in the game. And it feels

283
00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 5: a little bit like the Clippers stole this game, which

284
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 5: is weird since they're certainly the favorites and they've got

285
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 5: a whole bunch more talent. But that's what it felt like.

286
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:07,680
Speaker 5: Both of their stars really showed up when it counted.

287
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 2: Yeah. The one thing with Luca unbelievable performance, and he's

288
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 2: doing this against a team again that has like four

289
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 2: guys some like all NBA, all defensive sort of minded

290
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 2: guys that they're throwing at him, like to do it

291
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 2: against like the Nets or whoever would be one thing,

292
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 2: to do it against the Clippers, you know, a title

293
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 2: contender again with all these defensive guys that can throw

294
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 2: on them, it's pretty damn special. But I don't know

295
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 2: if you guys caught this. I was. I was upset

296
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 2: with Luca for this one, and maybe this is like, yeah,

297
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 2: his rookie playoff debut debut showing you know, as ugly

298
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 2: head here one O six, one O two Clippers. They're

299
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 2: up late in the fourth quarter. Mavericks get a stop.

300
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 2: There was actually a bunch of wild sequences going on.

301
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 2: Mavericks get a stop. They're on a fast break. Curry

302
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 2: Seth Curry, who hit a lot of threes, but it's

303
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 2: not Steph Curry. He pulls up for a three in

304
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 2: transition when the Mavericks had numbers. Luca is wide open

305
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 2: in the middle of the paint and he shoots Addie

306
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 2: Jackson miss. Clippers go the other way. Now, Luca is

307
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 2: like visibly frustrated with Curry's decision. He is doing the like, man,

308
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 2: what are you doing? Like we got numbers, I'm wide

309
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 2: openly give me the ball that lingers and while he's

310
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 2: complaining all the way back, he sort of loses track

311
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 2: of his guy, and the Clippers splash a three, a huge,

312
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 2: you know, swing point differential there. The Clippers are up

313
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 2: for there suddenly up seven because it could have been

314
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 2: a two point game if maybe Curry finds Luca's signe scores.

315
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 2: But man, you gotta stop stop doing that, you know, like,

316
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 2: I know you're you're pissed off with your guy there,

317
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 2: but he literally was just doing the uh, what come on, man,

318
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 2: what are we doing here? And then the guy hits

319
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 2: the three in his face, not really even his face

320
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 2: because he wasn't all that locked in on him because

321
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 2: he was still complaining to his teammates. So that, yeah,

322
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 2: with that and the turnover some of them sort of ugly,

323
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:46,440
Speaker 2: it's like, oh yeah, like Trey said, it's sort of

324
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 2: like that was a playoff debut for this kid. But still,

325
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 2: damn you're gonna take that playoff debut over a lot

326
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 2: of other ones we've seen. So that is the one

327
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 2: thing that stuck out to me because that was huge

328
00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 2: to me, like they still a chance to win this game.

329
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:00,200
Speaker 2: Like you said, they could have stolen if you want

330
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 2: to give it to them in that way.

331
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 5: That was a major botch by Luca. Yeah, he probably

332
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 5: should have gotten the ball offensively, but with a minute

333
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:08,880
Speaker 5: left in the game, you got to guard your guy.

334
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 5: And the fact that they have Luca Garden, the worst

335
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 5: offensive player that's usually on the court for the Clippers

336
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 5: is another reason that you really can't, like just let

337
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 5: Marcus Morris get a wide open three in transition to

338
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 5: really ice the game. Luca was getting dusted defensively. He

339
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 5: doesn't really put in much effort on that end of

340
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 5: the ball, and you know, he gets compared to James Harden,

341
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:30,240
Speaker 5: and that's how James Harden was when he really started

342
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 5: taking over for the Rockets, and we were seeing clips

343
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 5: on Twitter every day of this guy forgetting to guard

344
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 5: somebody on a back door cut. Harden puts in a

345
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 5: lot more effort defensively now, so surely that will come

346
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 5: with Luca as he adjusts to being the number one

347
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 5: guy who has to do basically everything for the Mavericks

348
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 5: out there.

349
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 3: It was a wild ending on both sides and the

350
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 3: reason why I think the Clippers are going to bounce back,

351
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 3: and I mentioned you know, Mantres Harrold not playing in

352
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 3: the bubble at all, hasn't played since March, and Lou

353
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:55,560
Speaker 3: Williams being out of the lineup for a long time.

354
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 3: Lou Williams missed two gimmes within the last three minutes.

355
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 3: I think it was on back to back possession where

356
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 3: he missed layups and again, just doesn't have his touch

357
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 3: right now. And yeah, that was the pull back and

358
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 3: four sequence where Seth Curry took that shot because it

359
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:14,920
Speaker 3: was just like, well, we're freestyling now, we're not playing ball, Luca,

360
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:17,120
Speaker 3: You're not touching this. I'm flying, I'm letting it fly.

361
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 3: And so I think the Clippers are just going to

362
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:23,400
Speaker 3: get better. And the thing is Kawhi, yeah, didn't have

363
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:26,800
Speaker 3: a game that you really remember or like you said,

364
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:30,400
Speaker 3: Trey filled a box score with twenty nine. But that's Kawhi.

365
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 3: He's not going to put his imprint on the series

366
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:36,200
Speaker 3: until he really needs to. And that's what he showed

367
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:39,480
Speaker 3: with the Raptors last year. So yeah, a great game

368
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:42,400
Speaker 3: for him, But I worry about the MAVs because when

369
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:45,720
Speaker 3: Kawhi wants to say, hey, Lou, get out of the way, Hey,

370
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:48,359
Speaker 3: Marcus Morris, get out of the way. Hey, I'm taking

371
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:51,960
Speaker 3: Luca defensively, which hasn't happened yet. That's going to happen

372
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:55,040
Speaker 3: at some point in this series if they need it anyway,

373
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:59,240
Speaker 3: instead of Beverly taking him, which Luca was dusting himself,

374
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 3: is going to bring it. And so I worry about

375
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 3: the Clip all right that the MAVs.

376
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you you, if anything, tasks think this could

377
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:09,680
Speaker 2: be a quicker series now that the Mavericks couldn't steal

378
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:10,760
Speaker 2: that game one take Game.

379
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:13,359
Speaker 3: One, Yeah, for sure, for sure. And the Clips are

380
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 3: probably kicking themselves for not capitalizing on that huge start

381
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:19,439
Speaker 3: that they had as well. So they're probably in the

382
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:21,919
Speaker 3: locker room and Doc is on them saying, come on,

383
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:23,880
Speaker 3: you get out to that big start. You can't lay off.

384
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:26,639
Speaker 3: You gotta you gotta keep going. And let me say this,

385
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:28,720
Speaker 3: Let me say this before we move on, because I

386
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 3: want to talk about a good rule really quick. Yeah,

387
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:35,360
Speaker 3: since we harped on bad rules. Montrez Harrald, who left

388
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 3: the Bubble for his grandmother who passed away, was wearing

389
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:42,159
Speaker 3: a shirt with the image of his grandmother on it

390
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 3: on the bench. Now rules in the past, if if

391
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 3: we were still in you know, regular life playoffs, you

392
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 3: would not be able to wear that if you're on

393
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:55,119
Speaker 3: the bench. But a cool little factor here or a

394
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 3: cool little wrinkle the NBA allowing guys to do things

395
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:01,399
Speaker 3: like that. So that was that was nice, and I

396
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:04,639
Speaker 3: enjoyed that rule since we love talking about rules. I

397
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:07,600
Speaker 3: hate talking about rules, but I don't mind talking about

398
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:09,480
Speaker 3: good rules, good rule NBA.

399
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:12,440
Speaker 2: Now Caane Fitzgerald wanted him tossed. That's what the rumor

400
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:13,960
Speaker 2: on the street is. He said, well, you can't wear that.

401
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:16,199
Speaker 2: You get him out of here. It was a crazy

402
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:20,880
Speaker 2: day day one of the NBA playoffs for old Armenion

403
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:24,160
Speaker 2: men watching basketball, because you could call these games after

404
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:26,359
Speaker 2: the first couple of minutes, Oh it's over, eighteen two,

405
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 2: it's over, game's over. Ultimately, they were right, same with

406
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:30,720
Speaker 2: the Raptors game. We'll get to Oh, this one's over.

407
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 2: It's over. Oh man, Dave Grisham and our old Armenian

408
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 2: men love to call a game when it's for nothing

409
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 2: and it's over. All right, let's keep it going here

410
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:42,119
Speaker 2: because we want to touch on all these. Jamal Murray

411
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:45,240
Speaker 2: helps the Nuggets hold off Donovan Mitchell one thirty five

412
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 2: to one, twenty five in overtime, Trey, why don't you

413
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:50,640
Speaker 2: get to start with this one. It's just one game.

414
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:54,200
Speaker 5: But it's just one game, But get your climbing gear,

415
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:56,760
Speaker 5: because we've got ourselves an up and down series. I

416
00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 5: thought this was just perfect for how things are going

417
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:00,080
Speaker 5: to play.

418
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 3: Hold on, it's just one game, but.

419
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 5: Oh, I got a deep wobbler going on down here.

420
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 5: But like I'm saying, I just thought this was exactly

421
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:13,320
Speaker 5: how this series is going to play out, right, Like,

422
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:17,879
Speaker 5: we had moments where Donovan Mitchell looked completely unguardable. He

423
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 5: had two quarters where he went over seventeen points, seventeen

424
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 5: in the second twenty two and the fourth on his

425
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 5: way to fifty seven. Are you kidding me? But then

426
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:27,520
Speaker 5: there are other times when Jamal Murray looked completely unguardable

427
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:31,200
Speaker 5: twenty points in the fourth quarter and combined with overtime,

428
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:33,159
Speaker 5: and that to me is just like, you're not going

429
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 5: to get the perfect level of effort, the perfect level

430
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:38,560
Speaker 5: of commitment from either the Jazz or the Nuggets for

431
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:41,120
Speaker 5: a whole game, for a whole series. So to see

432
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 5: this go really up and down over the course of

433
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:46,919
Speaker 5: forty eight then fifty three minutes I thought was just perfect.

434
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:48,640
Speaker 5: That's why this series seems like it's going to go long.

435
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:50,399
Speaker 5: To me, neither team is going to be able to

436
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:54,159
Speaker 5: put together offense. I don't think for an extended period

437
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:57,720
Speaker 5: of time completely. And I also don't think that they're

438
00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 5: gonna be able to get stops completely. But it was

439
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:03,479
Speaker 5: really fun to watch. You know. It seemed like Donovan

440
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:06,320
Speaker 5: Mitchell was headed for Bubble Boy of the day, but

441
00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:08,640
Speaker 5: then the next thing, you know, Jamal Murray takes over

442
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:10,480
Speaker 5: down the stretch and really made the Nuggets look like

443
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:13,399
Speaker 5: a different team. So, yeah, a fun game to watch,

444
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 5: and this looks like it's gonna be an entertaining series.

445
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 2: Yeah. Jamal Murray man, he's the barometer. We talked about

446
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:21,159
Speaker 2: it in the playoff preview with this team. When he

447
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:23,440
Speaker 2: plays well in a playoff game for the Nuggets, they

448
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:25,680
Speaker 2: generally win. When he doesn't, when he struggles to shoot

449
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 2: the ball, low efficiency, turnovers, they lose. It's amazing. You know,

450
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 2: the stats really truly back it up. But he was incredible.

451
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:38,359
Speaker 2: Kitchener's finest. Everything was going through him, absolutely everything, and

452
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 2: that moment when we had Mitchell and Murray tasks like

453
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:44,240
Speaker 2: trading Haymakers in the fourth quarter, and it was like,

454
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:46,119
Speaker 2: why are the other eight guys out there? Let's like

455
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 2: just let these two go one on one. Oh my god,

456
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 2: was this fun? And this is gonna be like has

457
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:52,679
Speaker 2: this changed your opinion? Task because you were sort of

458
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:55,160
Speaker 2: low on this series, like in terms of like maybe

459
00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 2: entertainment factor, but wow, they came through in game one

460
00:21:58,320 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 2: with the overtime game here.

461
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:01,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, people were coming at me saying that this isn't

462
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:04,679
Speaker 3: going to be an entertaining series. I guess because I

463
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:06,879
Speaker 3: said that, I guess I'm not really pumped about the

464
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 3: Utah Jazz offense. And then in general, and then Donovan Mitchell,

465
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:18,320
Speaker 3: I mean, what was that? That was ridiculous? He had

466
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:21,360
Speaker 3: he dropped fifty seven and it was it was so

467
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 3: smooth and it was so pretty. There was the one

468
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 3: that he went under Nikola Jokic's armpit there went for

469
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 3: a quick sniff and just sort of did that reverse

470
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:33,240
Speaker 3: scoop shot. Like I've played in a few pickups and

471
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:35,879
Speaker 3: nobody likes talking or hearing about my pickup games, but

472
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:39,600
Speaker 3: I've played with some Euros through my days and oldies

473
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:41,800
Speaker 3: some oldie guys had to cover them in the post,

474
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:44,480
Speaker 3: I've got my arms up, I got you know, the

475
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:47,919
Speaker 3: hair is displaying from my armpits. But guys will go

476
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:50,199
Speaker 3: up and under those armpits and it really makes you

477
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 3: angry as a defender because I had is one sneaky

478
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:55,320
Speaker 3: move and Donovan Mitchell was you know, going full board,

479
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 3: going a lot faster than the forty five year old

480
00:22:57,600 --> 00:22:59,399
Speaker 3: serbs that I was guarding in the post. But he was,

481
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 3: he was flying in there, and that was just it

482
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 3: was a beautiful show. So yes, I apologize if I

483
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:07,760
Speaker 3: was down on the Utah Jazz. What I do like

484
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:11,160
Speaker 3: is that they've already been moved up on Wednesday's schedule.

485
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:13,240
Speaker 3: I'm not sure if I should say moved up, but

486
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:15,320
Speaker 3: they are definitely in a better time slot. They've been

487
00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 3: swapped with the RAPS game. Raps goes first and the

488
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:20,880
Speaker 3: Utah Jazz and Denver goes second. So I think more

489
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 3: people will see that because I think less people were

490
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:27,600
Speaker 3: watching this game, and it was it was a show.

491
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:29,679
Speaker 3: What are the Jazz going to do? Though? After a

492
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 3: performance like that, I mean, what I was worried about

493
00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:35,399
Speaker 3: going in was who the heck is going to score

494
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:41,280
Speaker 3: on this team besides Donovan Mitchell and now listen, I

495
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:44,440
Speaker 3: don't think anyone's ever averaged forty in a series win.

496
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 3: I doubt it. I mean, I didn't really do the research,

497
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:50,119
Speaker 3: but his numbers are gonna come down big time, and

498
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:52,879
Speaker 3: so we're the other guy's going to step up. Juwan

499
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 3: Morgan started for the Jazz in place of Mike Conley,

500
00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:00,199
Speaker 3: a rook who's barely played. He was just as to

501
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:01,719
Speaker 3: sit in the corner and hit shots.

502
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 2: And he hit a bigh he hit a big jumper

503
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 2: in the fourth quarter.

504
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:06,840
Speaker 3: He did, Yeah, he did. He played fine. I just wonder,

505
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 3: are you gonna give it to Jordan Clarkson, who uh

506
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 3: it could be him who hit a shot from his

507
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:15,400
Speaker 3: ass basically at the beginning of the second quarter when

508
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:17,239
Speaker 3: we were in a little squeeze box when we were

509
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:20,000
Speaker 3: doing the coach interview, so you didn't really even you

510
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 3: could barely see it. Yeah, that was I thought, Wow,

511
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:23,720
Speaker 3: that's gonna be the best play of the day. And

512
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:28,560
Speaker 3: then Donovan Mitchell was absolutely amazing going right at Jokich.

513
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:30,160
Speaker 3: And he's not he's not afraid of your kitchen. He's

514
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:32,000
Speaker 3: gonna keep going at him. But you could see even

515
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:34,040
Speaker 3: in the overtime he just didn't have it. He was

516
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:36,760
Speaker 3: passing the guys who was saying, Joe Ingles, make a play,

517
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:41,760
Speaker 3: and so yeah, I worry about worry about that, and uh,

518
00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:44,920
Speaker 3: they'll probably get better defense like your man roy O'Neil

519
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:50,320
Speaker 3: trey On. Yeah, it's why wasn't he a little bit

520
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 3: more on Joel Murray. I understand foul trouble, but Joe

521
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 3: Ingles was basically guarding Jamal Murray at the end there,

522
00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 3: you know, in those switch situations, and that's not gonna work.

523
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:02,680
Speaker 3: Mis Jamal Murray's you know, got it going somewhat.

524
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 2: Oh man, and he was locked in Kitchener's finest. What

525
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:07,399
Speaker 2: about the and I hate to bring it back to

526
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:11,439
Speaker 2: the officials, but the eight second violation on Donovan Mitchell.

527
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:13,760
Speaker 2: This was the Jazz are up. I mean, Jess had

528
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:16,359
Speaker 2: this game. They're up four, was about a minute forty

529
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:20,200
Speaker 2: five to go again in regulation, and Donovan Mitchell called

530
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:23,720
Speaker 2: for the rare eight second backcourt violation. And it was

531
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 2: weird because I guess Mitchell and the Jazz maybe had

532
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 2: failed to realize that the shot clock was actually starting

533
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:32,840
Speaker 2: at twenty two seconds rather than the twenty four because

534
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 2: there was like like an initial defensive rebound from Gobert

535
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:38,959
Speaker 2: and block and like grabbed and knocked away and out

536
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:40,720
Speaker 2: of bound. So it was actually at twenty two seconds

537
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 2: and not twenty four, and he took ownership of that.

538
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:45,240
Speaker 2: After the game, Mitchell said, I mean, that was my fault,

539
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:47,760
Speaker 2: but it was you know. That's I mean, look, it's

540
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:50,960
Speaker 2: another one that doesn't need to be called, Jess. I

541
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 2: guess it's like one of those like, all right, really

542
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 2: do we have to but yeah, it's bang bang.

543
00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:59,639
Speaker 5: Him crosses even more so that one's even more necessary

544
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:02,800
Speaker 5: to call. Though then the flailing your arms disagreeing with

545
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:05,639
Speaker 5: a call. It's timing. I mean, I don't care if

546
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:07,680
Speaker 5: you don't realize that the clock doesn't start for twenty

547
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:09,200
Speaker 5: two seconds. You can look up at it and see

548
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:10,640
Speaker 5: if it says eighteen or seventeen.

549
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:13,600
Speaker 2: Well he did right at the end. I thought, oh damn, yep,

550
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:16,199
Speaker 2: oh crap, crap, crap, crap. I mean, it's huge. It's

551
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:18,439
Speaker 2: obviously a huge play, especially with Murray because he came

552
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:21,240
Speaker 2: I guess Murray, Yeah, flipped out around and then hit

553
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:23,560
Speaker 2: a three, and Denver's obvious suddenly right back in the

554
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:25,760
Speaker 2: game down one. That was huge, He.

555
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 5: Said, Murray was attacking Jokic. We got to mention that

556
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:31,040
Speaker 5: Murray was also putting Michael Porter Junior into the pick

557
00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:33,920
Speaker 5: and roll basically every single time down the court or

558
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:36,439
Speaker 5: sorry Mitchell. Mitchell was yeah, and that to me was

559
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 5: a that's a warning sign for Michael Porter Junior. He

560
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:42,480
Speaker 5: had a nice first quarter, but then he got exposed

561
00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:45,480
Speaker 5: looking like a rookie as he kept being hunted every

562
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:46,920
Speaker 5: single time down the court.

563
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:50,720
Speaker 2: Good on Malone to take him out though, Yeah, exactly.

564
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:53,199
Speaker 5: But I mean, also coming into this series, we were

565
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 5: talking about this guy being part of the Big Three,

566
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:57,680
Speaker 5: you know, despite the fact that he's played basically twenty

567
00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:00,520
Speaker 5: games of high level basketball in the NBA. Are different

568
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:01,960
Speaker 5: in the playoffs. We saw it with Luca for a

569
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:05,480
Speaker 5: few minutes. We saw it obviously with Michael Porter Junior.

570
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 5: He's got to be able to score for them. He's

571
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:08,840
Speaker 5: got to be able to stay on the court for them,

572
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:11,040
Speaker 5: help out on the glass. But if you're getting good

573
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:13,400
Speaker 5: minutes from Jeremy Grant, maybe it doesn't matter quite as much.

574
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:15,399
Speaker 5: But if you want to raise the ceiling, mpg's got

575
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:17,120
Speaker 5: to be there. Given the effort on defense as.

576
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:19,960
Speaker 3: Well, I was wild. It was wild to watch an

577
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 3: NBA player just not know what the heck he was

578
00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:25,480
Speaker 3: supposed to be doing. Right, he just looked especially on

579
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:28,359
Speaker 3: the replays ESPN was really giving it to him. He

580
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:30,480
Speaker 3: just looked like he was out on an island, Like

581
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:33,199
Speaker 3: what am I doing to pick and roll? Switch? Just

582
00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:35,280
Speaker 3: stay in front of the guy. I don't know if

583
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:37,840
Speaker 3: I'm over simplifying it, but he just I guess he

584
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:41,040
Speaker 3: didn't know the game plan as well, like do I

585
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:44,120
Speaker 3: go back to my man or stick with the ball handler?

586
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:47,400
Speaker 3: It was Yeah, that was that. It was terrible. I'm

587
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:49,960
Speaker 3: surprised he even played thirty one minutes that he stayed

588
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:52,960
Speaker 3: out for that long. But yeah, Quinn Snyder's got to

589
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:55,520
Speaker 3: keep going at him. They have to that he just

590
00:27:55,560 --> 00:28:00,040
Speaker 3: looked horrific. I mean, that has got to be some

591
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:02,439
Speaker 3: that he is working on right now, just to know

592
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:05,679
Speaker 3: what he's doing, because yeah, he still looked good offensively,

593
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 3: he still can be a bailout guy. He can still

594
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 3: score and he definitely raises their ceiling when he's out there.

595
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:15,240
Speaker 2: Has this changed your opinion at all in this series tests?

596
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:18,040
Speaker 2: After this game one result, you know, Mitchell going for

597
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:20,600
Speaker 2: fifty seven but them still coming up short. In overtime, Like,

598
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:22,439
Speaker 2: is this going to be a quick series in your opinion?

599
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 2: If you're the Jazz, are you happy? Like, Okay, well,

600
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:27,080
Speaker 2: you know we grabbed a bunch of offensive rebounds. Go

601
00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:29,200
Speaker 2: we could go at Yo Kisch. I mean we obviously

602
00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:31,360
Speaker 2: proved we could go at Michael Porter Junior. I mean

603
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:34,000
Speaker 2: we can expose some holes on their defense. Man, what

604
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:34,520
Speaker 2: do you think?

605
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:39,680
Speaker 3: I'm still team Nuggets on this one. I still think

606
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:42,640
Speaker 3: it's going to be a fairly quick series. They also,

607
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:45,120
Speaker 3: you know, if you want to be a positive peat

608
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:48,320
Speaker 3: for the Utah Jazz, Yeah, the Nuggets shot the lights

609
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:52,080
Speaker 3: out from the three point line right over fifty two hits.

610
00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:56,240
Speaker 3: But you know, I still the things you're weighing there.

611
00:28:57,080 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 3: Donvin Mitchell scores fifty seven also, so I think we

612
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:04,280
Speaker 3: pulled out probably are our best strategy here going at

613
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:09,000
Speaker 3: Michael Porter Junior. And I think they will adjust already.

614
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:12,760
Speaker 3: You know, the usually a team can steal a game

615
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:15,040
Speaker 3: too because they make adjustments. And I think they've already

616
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:19,840
Speaker 3: sort of made their adjustments and Denver canal adjust to those.

617
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:23,760
Speaker 3: So I'm in Denver's corner. But as we said, and

618
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:26,880
Speaker 3: why you should watch this series at for Eastern on Wednesday.

619
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:29,040
Speaker 3: It's going to be up and down. The Denver Nuggets

620
00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:31,120
Speaker 3: are still going to allow a decent amount of points

621
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:33,720
Speaker 3: that Nicolie Orki is still going to let you get

622
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:37,440
Speaker 3: to the hole. But yeah, I'm with you. There's positives

623
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:39,320
Speaker 3: to be taken from the Utah jests. I like Monte

624
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:41,040
Speaker 3: Morris may not be able to have a game like that,

625
00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:44,800
Speaker 3: but and Jamal Murray will.

626
00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:46,200
Speaker 2: Have a three for fifteen in them.

627
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:52,320
Speaker 3: Don't choya, But fifty seven fifty seven, that's that is something.

628
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 3: And you know the joker. Let's talk about his layup

629
00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:59,640
Speaker 3: at the buzzer there where he got Rudy Gobert in

630
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:02,520
Speaker 3: the air. He missed the runner. I guess you shouldn't.

631
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:04,680
Speaker 3: I shouldn't call it a layup because it was tough.

632
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:08,160
Speaker 2: I thought. I thought Gobert challenged it well with his wingspan.

633
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:10,560
Speaker 2: I mean, what are you doing, yo, kids? You only

634
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 2: hit game winners when you do the driveway Dad, Dirk,

635
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 2: you just got to be fading away from twenty feet

636
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:17,840
Speaker 2: and just throw it up in the air. Those always

637
00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 2: drop for him. I don't know. Don't attack, don't go

638
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:22,080
Speaker 2: to the rim. That's the exact opposite thing. You should do.

639
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:24,400
Speaker 3: But yeah, and he had a tiny bit of room too,

640
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:26,040
Speaker 3: Like right when he got the ball at the free

641
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 3: throw line, Rudy was giving him a little room, so

642
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:31,280
Speaker 3: just lean back on that one leg and let her fly.

643
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:34,240
Speaker 3: But he wanted to drive. It was just really strange

644
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 3: to see Jokic miss a clutch shot.

645
00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 2: Yeah. No, and we should say congratulations, I guess to

646
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:45,400
Speaker 2: Mike Conley on the birth of his son, Elijah Michael Conley.

647
00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:48,280
Speaker 2: He showed us on social media. It was a great photo.

648
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:50,320
Speaker 2: It looked like Mike Conley had had the baby. You

649
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:55,719
Speaker 2: see that, just the way it was set up.

650
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:56,840
Speaker 5: But it was miraculous.

651
00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:57,080
Speaker 1: Mike.

652
00:30:57,160 --> 00:30:59,840
Speaker 5: They're calling him in the hospital getting that skinned to skin.

653
00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:04,160
Speaker 5: Hurry back, Mike Conley. The Jazz needs you because the

654
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:07,000
Speaker 5: Nuggets are theoretically going to be getting more players back

655
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:09,880
Speaker 5: too at some point, right Gary Harris and Will Barton.

656
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:14,560
Speaker 5: Maybe they'll play again sometime. But yeah, the Jazz need

657
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:16,719
Speaker 5: every bit of scoring they can get, every little bit

658
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:18,480
Speaker 5: of help they can get, because they got fifty seven

659
00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:21,040
Speaker 5: from Donovan Mitchell and they still lost. Yeah, you don't

660
00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:22,720
Speaker 5: like to lose a game where a guy scores fifty

661
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:23,280
Speaker 5: seven points.

662
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:26,280
Speaker 2: No, I mean and like fifty seven what it's like

663
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:30,280
Speaker 2: the third highest scoring output in a playoff game ever,

664
00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:34,000
Speaker 2: right after Jordan and Elgin Baylor, I think, And it's

665
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:36,600
Speaker 2: like for some weird reason, like because we've just maybe

666
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:38,560
Speaker 2: what Dame Lillard's been doing over the last little bit,

667
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:40,720
Speaker 2: what we've seen hard and do all season, what Luca

668
00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:44,520
Speaker 2: puts up, it's like so weird now that fifty seven

669
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:47,600
Speaker 2: doesn't feel insane to me? Am I alone in this,

670
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:50,959
Speaker 2: I like, I almost think we're not making a bigger

671
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:53,480
Speaker 2: deal out of it. The fifty seven points. I don't know,

672
00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:55,920
Speaker 2: Maybe it's me nineteen for thirty three times it was

673
00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:59,160
Speaker 2: locked in. But we probably won't see Colmley on Wednesday,

674
00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:03,120
Speaker 2: right because, in accordance with the COVID nineteen policies, he's

675
00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:05,960
Speaker 2: he's at least subject to quarantine about four days when

676
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:08,760
Speaker 2: he returns. Is he returning today?

677
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 5: Task?

678
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:11,040
Speaker 2: I don't know if you know this, Like, is he

679
00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 2: coming back today? And then it starts so he could

680
00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:15,400
Speaker 2: miss another you can miss game game two he's missing,

681
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:17,640
Speaker 2: and then game three I guess would still be up

682
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:17,960
Speaker 2: in the air.

683
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:21,960
Speaker 3: Right Well, I'm sure the mother of his child there

684
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:24,880
Speaker 3: wouldn't be too upset if he leaves because she wants

685
00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:27,000
Speaker 3: to lie down in that bed. Mike Conley is just

686
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:29,520
Speaker 3: lying down in that hold on that baby. Hey, let

687
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:31,560
Speaker 3: me I just gave birth to a shot. Let me see.

688
00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:34,960
Speaker 3: Uh yeah, you got to get that skin to skin time. Nice.

689
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:38,320
Speaker 3: It's very very nice, very nice photo. But uh uh yeah,

690
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:42,360
Speaker 3: Conley will help. But at the same time, none of

691
00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:45,480
Speaker 3: us changed our predictions when we heard that Mike Conley

692
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:47,080
Speaker 3: wasn't going to be there for the first couple of games.

693
00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:49,760
Speaker 3: Because Mike Conley is, he's gonna fill in, he's gonna

694
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:51,920
Speaker 3: he's gonna get his numbers, but he hasn't been Memphis

695
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:58,640
Speaker 3: Conley And so I yeah, that fifty seven point number

696
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:00,760
Speaker 3: is that number is just so much of a bigger

697
00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:03,040
Speaker 3: factor to me than the rest of the things that play.

698
00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:06,200
Speaker 2: Sir, all right, well, we got two other games from

699
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:08,640
Speaker 2: yesterday to break down to play. It's just one game

700
00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:09,360

00:36:56,719 --> 00:36:57,719
Speaker 2: one game, but.

769
00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:01,760
Speaker 3: Let's overreact, baby, It's just one game. But Joel Embiid

770
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:04,600
Speaker 3: is not a number one option for a championship team.

771
00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:09,640
Speaker 3: WHOA yeah, And there's a few factors here. Okay, modern

772
00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:12,920
Speaker 3: day rules don't really favor a big man. You can

773
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:16,880
Speaker 3: see the Celtics sagging down, ready to double at all times.

774
00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:19,640
Speaker 3: But it's also maybe Joel Embiid just doesn't have the

775
00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:23,200
Speaker 3: lung capacity. Just physically, he just may not have it

776
00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:25,440
Speaker 3: to be able to be a Shaquille O'Neal. He's not

777
00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:28,760
Speaker 3: Shack also doesn't play in that era, but also mentally

778
00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:31,600
Speaker 3: he may not be the type of guy to demand

779
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:33,400
Speaker 3: the ball every single time. There. I think there are

780
00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:35,440
Speaker 3: a few factors in here. And then everybody wants to

781
00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:38,440
Speaker 3: throw in the Brett Brown factor. Why doesn't the Sixers

782
00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:41,279
Speaker 3: coach just give him the frickin' ball every time? But

783
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:44,560
Speaker 3: I think all those other factors play a part. Maybe

784
00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:47,560
Speaker 3: that's not Joel Embiid's make up, really, and I think

785
00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:50,080
Speaker 3: it's evident year after year after year after year, how

786
00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:52,400
Speaker 3: many times have we got to say this how many times?

787
00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:54,880
Speaker 3: Is it the chicken or the egg? Sort of a

788
00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:58,200
Speaker 3: conundrum that we have to debate here. Is it just

789
00:37:58,239 --> 00:37:59,640
Speaker 3: not giving him the ball or is it just not

790
00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:02,880
Speaker 3: Joel Embiid's makeup combined with the rules the zone rules

791
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:05,520
Speaker 3: out there, because, as our man John Hollinger pointed out,

792
00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:08,840
Speaker 3: he received one pass down the stretch of a close

793
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:12,040
Speaker 3: game here that they could have won in between the

794
00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:13,959
Speaker 3: times of five point fifty three left in the fourth

795
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:18,320
Speaker 3: quarter in sixteen seconds one pass? So is that Joel?

796
00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:21,000
Speaker 3: Is that Brett Brown? I think it's a combination of

797
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:23,400
Speaker 3: all those things, But in this era, I just you

798
00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:26,319
Speaker 3: can't trust it. He needs like he had last year,

799
00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:28,480
Speaker 3: a Jimmy Butler out there, and they were trying to

800
00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:31,319
Speaker 3: spread the floor. The closing lineup, which was bonkers to

801
00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:36,040
Speaker 3: me watching it, was Alec Burks, Matisse Thibel, and then

802
00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:39,320
Speaker 3: a couple of starters in Josh Richardson and Tobias Harris

803
00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:41,279
Speaker 3: to go along with Joel Embiid. They're trying to get

804
00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:44,560
Speaker 3: as much spread, but they're basically saying you, other guys,

805
00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:48,040
Speaker 3: you can shoot, and Marcus Smart is going to He's

806
00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:50,440
Speaker 3: going to just shadow you. Joel Embiid a little bit,

807
00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:52,600
Speaker 3: and we're not going to let an entry pass get

808
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:55,239
Speaker 3: in there. And Joel Embid went to the three point

809
00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:59,719
Speaker 3: line a little bit, and so all those factors leave

810
00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:01,520
Speaker 3: me to believe you just need a guard. And maybe

811
00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:03,919
Speaker 3: it's modern day basketball, but you just need a guard

812
00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:06,120
Speaker 3: to sort of initiate a lot more. Because when's the

813
00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:09,759
Speaker 3: last time a true post player was a number one

814
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:13,399
Speaker 3: option on a team. It's been a while. I guess

815
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:16,880
Speaker 3: it's Tim Duncan. I mean, I didn't really I probably

816
00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:19,680
Speaker 3: should have actually thought about this, but I assume. I

817
00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:24,560
Speaker 3: assume it's Timmy, right, And so I just I can't

818
00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:27,359
Speaker 3: just put it on Brett Brown because that guy knows

819
00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:30,520
Speaker 3: more about basketball than we do, and so I'm pretty

820
00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:32,760
Speaker 3: sure he wants to feed his best player. But also,

821
00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:35,239
Speaker 3: Joe Ebid's guest, and we've seen year end day in

822
00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:38,040
Speaker 3: game in game out of years past that he's just

823
00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:42,239
Speaker 3: not able to carry teams in the postseason. So it's

824
00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:44,040
Speaker 3: an overreaction. But at the same time, I don't think

825
00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:45,640
Speaker 3: it's an overreaction to say Joel Eanbid's is not a

826
00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:48,000
Speaker 3: number one option for a championship team in this era.

827
00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:50,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I said, I mean, I thought when we

828
00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:52,680
Speaker 2: were breaking down this series that Embiid basically had to

829
00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:55,160
Speaker 2: be Monster Lillard. I called him for the Sixers to

830
00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:57,920
Speaker 2: win this without Ben Simmons to win this series, and

831
00:39:57,960 --> 00:39:59,560
Speaker 2: that's going to be a problem because he's twice the

832
00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:01,920
Speaker 2: size of you said it task. He just gets guessed

833
00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:04,960
Speaker 2: he can do it. From the first quarter, he was awesome,

834
00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:07,640
Speaker 2: he was dominant, and you're like, oh, yeah, they don't

835
00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:09,640
Speaker 2: have anybody can stop him or slow him down. And

836
00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:13,279
Speaker 2: as the game goes on, he just runs runs out

837
00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:16,160
Speaker 2: of energy. And then it is then this weird mixture

838
00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:18,200
Speaker 2: of like, what do you do in coach Brown? Maybe

839
00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:19,960
Speaker 2: go to your best player, Hey, what do you other

840
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:22,200
Speaker 2: guys doing? Burke's Okay, I get it, we need some scoring,

841
00:40:22,239 --> 00:40:25,480
Speaker 2: but you're shooting even more than our star player. And hey, Embiid,

842
00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:27,880
Speaker 2: you got to demand the damn ball now. He always

843
00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:30,399
Speaker 2: talks the right game Embiid. After this one, Trey says,

844
00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:32,799
Speaker 2: I gotta do more. Whatever the stats are, I've got

845
00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:35,600
Speaker 2: to do more. I've got one job to do carry us.

846
00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:38,759
Speaker 2: But then he adds, I'm gonna need my teammates to

847
00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:42,200
Speaker 2: help me. But he's right, because you know, as many

848
00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:44,080
Speaker 2: people point this out on Twitter, this is the difference

849
00:40:44,120 --> 00:40:45,960
Speaker 2: and task you're saying it. It's like one thing for

850
00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:48,719
Speaker 2: Lillard or a Donovan Mitchell or even a Jamal Murray

851
00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:50,960
Speaker 2: for crying out loud. They're the ball handlers. They have

852
00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:53,799
Speaker 2: the ball, they're bringing it up. They will decide the

853
00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:56,840
Speaker 2: action because it's already with them. The post player in

854
00:40:56,880 --> 00:41:00,279
Speaker 2: this case and Embiid, you know, it's difficult to get

855
00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:02,279
Speaker 2: him the ball. I mean, he's got to get deep

856
00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:04,080
Speaker 2: post positions, so he's got to work his ass off

857
00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:05,719
Speaker 2: on the block to get down low. Then he needs

858
00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:07,680
Speaker 2: somebody else to actually put the ball into him. I mean,

859
00:41:07,719 --> 00:41:10,279
Speaker 2: there's too many variables here. Maybe he just needs to

860
00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:13,000
Speaker 2: start bringing the ball up the court like like a

861
00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:15,600
Speaker 2: You'll kich or something that'd be fun to watch. But yeah,

862
00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:17,759
Speaker 2: it's an issue here. He does need to do more

863
00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:19,439
Speaker 2: for them to win, but I'm not sure he can

864
00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:20,680
Speaker 2: for forty eight minutes.

865
00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:23,480
Speaker 5: Tray, same old story for the Sixers. It's a failure

866
00:41:23,560 --> 00:41:26,160
Speaker 5: on three levels. To be honest, Embiid has to be better.

867
00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:28,040
Speaker 5: He was great in the first quarter posting up, but

868
00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:30,279
Speaker 5: would kill the guy to ever roll to the rim

869
00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:32,200
Speaker 5: on a pick and roll. It's a pop every single

870
00:41:32,239 --> 00:41:33,759
Speaker 5: time he wants to pump fake, he wants to get

871
00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:35,040
Speaker 5: a guy in the air and then try and draw

872
00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:37,200
Speaker 5: a file call. But roll to the rim, draw some

873
00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:39,040
Speaker 5: guys in, and maybe you'll get an open three pointer

874
00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:41,799
Speaker 5: for somebody else on your team. Brett Brown doesn't get

875
00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:45,400
Speaker 5: super creative. I don't think he doesn't force the issue

876
00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:47,799
Speaker 5: with Embiid all the time. But a lot of that's

877
00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:49,880
Speaker 5: on Beid, Like on Embiid, like you guys are saying

878
00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:53,880
Speaker 5: not necessarily having the stamina to post up for forty

879
00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:55,279
Speaker 5: eight minutes of a game. And then a lot of

880
00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:57,000
Speaker 5: this is on Elton brand I think as well, because

881
00:41:57,000 --> 00:41:58,839
Speaker 5: they lost Ben Simmons and it looks like nobody else

882
00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:01,359
Speaker 5: out there on the Sixers knows how to pass the ball.

883
00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:04,120
Speaker 5: There's no other playmakers really. I mean, Tobias Harris had

884
00:42:04,160 --> 00:42:06,960
Speaker 5: eight assists. I am guessing that's a career high, like

885
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:09,120
Speaker 5: tass I didn't check, but it feels like he's not

886
00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:12,520
Speaker 5: a natural passer. Alec Burks is not a natural passer, right.

887
00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:16,120
Speaker 5: They just don't have that secondary playmaker when Ben Simmons

888
00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:18,320
Speaker 5: is out and we saw Embiid had one assist in

889
00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:21,000
Speaker 5: five turnovers. The guy took fifteen shots. That's not enough

890
00:42:21,040 --> 00:42:23,520
Speaker 5: for him to be taking in a playoff game. But

891
00:42:23,560 --> 00:42:25,239
Speaker 5: you always hear the same thing afterwards. I need to

892
00:42:25,239 --> 00:42:27,840
Speaker 5: carry us, I need to be better, you hear pregame.

893
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:30,440
Speaker 5: You know, Joel's in a great place mentally, he's looking

894
00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:33,040
Speaker 5: fit physically. We hear the same things every single time,

895
00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:35,080
Speaker 5: and then at the end of the game, it's what

896
00:42:35,080 --> 00:42:36,520
Speaker 5: can we do better? How can we get him the

897
00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:38,560
Speaker 5: ball more? How can we make things easier for him?

898
00:42:39,320 --> 00:42:40,759
Speaker 5: I don't know. I think he just has to have

899
00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:43,440
Speaker 5: the mindset to go out there and completely dominate and

900
00:42:43,560 --> 00:42:46,160
Speaker 5: leave the court dripping and sweat, barely able to walk.

901
00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:50,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, and they desperately missed Ben Simmons a percent, you know,

902
00:42:51,239 --> 00:42:53,600
Speaker 3: and all the company lines there and all the lines

903
00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:57,440
Speaker 3: from embiid or why Trey and I picked embiid as

904
00:42:57,440 --> 00:43:00,480
Speaker 3: the MVP this season before the year him as our

905
00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:02,640
Speaker 3: MVP because he said he was done with Shirley Temples,

906
00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:07,320
Speaker 3: and he was, you know, done with anything, well not everything.

907
00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:10,879
Speaker 3: I like he he like you said skeets that he

908
00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:13,640
Speaker 3: he said after the game, I need help. He also

909
00:43:13,680 --> 00:43:16,480
Speaker 3: said I'm done with Shirley Temples. I've got this new

910
00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:19,680
Speaker 3: meal plan, but you know, I still eat something, so

911
00:43:19,719 --> 00:43:22,160
Speaker 3: like there's there's always and there is always a little

912
00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:23,920
Speaker 3: give and take with Joel, Like maybe he's just not

913
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:27,480
Speaker 3: that guy, but you know, you got to give him

914
00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:32,080
Speaker 3: a little slack four being the centerpiece and being the

915
00:43:32,120 --> 00:43:34,560
Speaker 3: number two, number three, number four option, but especially without

916
00:43:34,600 --> 00:43:38,200
Speaker 3: Ben Simmons out there, who they definitely missed so much,

917
00:43:38,239 --> 00:43:40,960
Speaker 3: and and to be able to guard Jason Tatum on

918
00:43:40,960 --> 00:43:42,600
Speaker 3: the other end, it would have been nice to have him.

919
00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:45,960
Speaker 3: Even though Hotels Bible did a good job, Tatum was

920
00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:49,000
Speaker 3: he was smoking at times. Like you said, those first

921
00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:51,720
Speaker 3: half or the first quarter stats for Joel Embiid, well,

922
00:43:52,200 --> 00:43:57,560
Speaker 3: Tatum was hot as fired, you know. After I thought

923
00:43:57,600 --> 00:43:59,560
Speaker 3: he had a tiny stotle start, but whatever, I mean,

924
00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:02,080
Speaker 3: the numbers started piling up. I guess, I guess he

925
00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:04,040
Speaker 3: wasn't really shooting at all, and then he finally got

926
00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:06,840
Speaker 3: that one the mid range from that Russian spot and

927
00:44:06,920 --> 00:44:09,240
Speaker 3: then it was over. I mean, really was on fire.

928
00:44:09,320 --> 00:44:10,960
Speaker 3: And that's why they went to Mattie Steibel.

929
00:44:11,360 --> 00:44:13,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I mean it was Jason Tatum carrying the

930
00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:16,840
Speaker 2: load for early in this game offensively, and then Jalen

931
00:44:16,880 --> 00:44:19,200
Speaker 2: Brown was incredible in the fourth quarter. I think fifteen

932
00:44:19,239 --> 00:44:21,640
Speaker 2: of his twenty nine came in the fourth. He suddenly

933
00:44:21,920 --> 00:44:24,000
Speaker 2: turned into he turned into Klay Thompson there for a

934
00:44:24,040 --> 00:44:26,640
Speaker 2: stretch right. He was like hitting pull up threes in

935
00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:29,879
Speaker 2: transition and just like splashing them. So that was good. Now,

936
00:44:29,880 --> 00:44:31,600
Speaker 2: the bad news for the Celtics from this game is

937
00:44:31,640 --> 00:44:36,360
Speaker 2: Gordon Hayward coming up limping late with the right ankle sprain.

938
00:44:36,480 --> 00:44:40,040
Speaker 2: He's obviously buggered that ankle before MRI I think is today.

939
00:44:40,080 --> 00:44:42,239
Speaker 2: I'm not sure if we have results yet on that,

940
00:44:42,280 --> 00:44:45,319
Speaker 2: but we'll be waiting to find out. Though didn't look good,

941
00:44:45,440 --> 00:44:47,440
Speaker 2: and you know his past history with that ankle, you

942
00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:51,160
Speaker 2: would think at the very least he's gonna miss games here,

943
00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:53,319
Speaker 2: maybe even this series. I don't think they even were

944
00:44:53,320 --> 00:44:56,840
Speaker 2: gonna miss them all that much. Incredibly in this sixer series,

945
00:44:57,080 --> 00:45:00,000
Speaker 2: you know, Kemba had a decent game I thought was solid.

946
00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:01,520
Speaker 2: That was like nineteen points something like that.

947
00:45:01,600 --> 00:45:04,000
Speaker 3: Let me say about Gordon Hayward there for a second.

948
00:45:04,520 --> 00:45:07,600
Speaker 3: It would be perfect timing if his wife, Robin had

949
00:45:07,600 --> 00:45:10,120
Speaker 3: their child right now so he could get.

950
00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:10,640
Speaker 2: Out of the Bible.

951
00:45:11,480 --> 00:45:16,080
Speaker 3: She's her their fourth child. She's praying with their fourth child.

952
00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:19,359
Speaker 3: It's a boy this time. First three were girls, and

953
00:45:19,600 --> 00:45:21,160
Speaker 3: Gordon's going to leave the bubble at some point and

954
00:45:21,239 --> 00:45:25,840
Speaker 3: be perfect timing. They The broadcast was talking about NBA

955
00:45:25,880 --> 00:45:28,600
Speaker 3: players timing the births of their child to be in

956
00:45:28,960 --> 00:45:31,839
Speaker 3: July or August September, when they usually have time off.

957
00:45:32,160 --> 00:45:35,200
Speaker 3: It's totally true. I think that they do, because I've

958
00:45:35,239 --> 00:45:37,759
Speaker 3: definitely thought about it. Yeah, we all have to we

959
00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:41,680
Speaker 3: all have to time our children, and so this would

960
00:45:41,680 --> 00:45:43,319
Speaker 3: be a good time. Get that ankle right. But yeah,

961
00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:45,440
Speaker 3: I don't think they miss them this. We got to

962
00:45:45,480 --> 00:45:48,479
Speaker 3: talk a little being down boys because they were, like

963
00:45:48,600 --> 00:45:52,440
Speaker 3: you said, there they're again. It feels like they are

964
00:45:52,560 --> 00:45:56,600
Speaker 3: sort of a March Madness. I don't know this team

965
00:45:56,640 --> 00:45:59,080
Speaker 3: that comes together. Maybe it's because they got Brad Stevens

966
00:45:59,080 --> 00:46:01,200
Speaker 3: on the sideline, but it feels like because they're down

967
00:46:01,280 --> 00:46:05,160
Speaker 3: here in this tournament format, everybody sort of contributing, Guys

968
00:46:05,239 --> 00:46:07,960
Speaker 3: hitting the floor that are like ninth, tenth on the bench,

969
00:46:08,680 --> 00:46:12,120
Speaker 3: it feels like just a nice little recipe for a

970
00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:14,959
Speaker 3: March Madness victory and they'll be singing one shining moment.

971
00:46:15,640 --> 00:46:19,600
Speaker 3: There's a potential for that. They're just they're just We said,

972
00:46:19,719 --> 00:46:24,399
Speaker 3: yeah before the playoffs that they're being overlooked, and right

973
00:46:24,400 --> 00:46:28,120
Speaker 3: now they're playing really, really well despite not having an

974
00:46:28,120 --> 00:46:32,200
Speaker 3: answer for Joel Embiid. It just seems like they're playing

975
00:46:32,200 --> 00:46:33,960
Speaker 3: too good to not be able to overcome that.

976
00:46:34,239 --> 00:46:37,439
Speaker 2: Oh yeah. I mean watching yesterday's action Eastern Conference Action,

977
00:46:37,719 --> 00:46:40,840
Speaker 2: all I kept thinking about is like, oh Man, Raptor Celtics,

978
00:46:40,960 --> 00:46:43,200
Speaker 2: this is gonna be awesome. That's all. It was my

979
00:46:43,280 --> 00:46:45,799
Speaker 2: biggest takeaway from these two games. It's like Celtics are

980
00:46:45,800 --> 00:46:48,840
Speaker 2: beating the Sixers, even though I still think Embiid somewhere

981
00:46:48,840 --> 00:46:50,920
Speaker 2: within them can win them a game or two, and

982
00:46:50,920 --> 00:46:52,839
Speaker 2: then the Raptors are going to beat the Nets even

983
00:46:52,840 --> 00:46:54,560
Speaker 2: though they're scrappy, and I was like, this is going

984
00:46:54,640 --> 00:46:57,760
Speaker 2: to be a war. I think between two great coaches,

985
00:46:58,000 --> 00:47:01,480
Speaker 2: two deep teams, all these wing guys that will like

986
00:47:01,840 --> 00:47:04,480
Speaker 2: switch and match up on each other from on both sides,

987
00:47:04,680 --> 00:47:07,480
Speaker 2: you know, good solid point guards like this is that

988
00:47:07,640 --> 00:47:09,359
Speaker 2: that series is gonna be awesome. I was just looking

989
00:47:09,400 --> 00:47:12,160
Speaker 2: ahead to the second round yesterday in the Eastern Conference,

990
00:47:12,160 --> 00:47:15,359
Speaker 2: but that was a quality win. When you're like they're

991
00:47:15,440 --> 00:47:19,160
Speaker 2: young guys, they're two future guys in Jalen Brown and

992
00:47:19,280 --> 00:47:21,879
Speaker 2: Jason Tatum are the best players already. I mean that's

993
00:47:22,080 --> 00:47:24,840
Speaker 2: they brought Kemba in to be that guy. Gordon Hayward

994
00:47:24,880 --> 00:47:26,359
Speaker 2: was brought in to be that guy. And it's not

995
00:47:26,400 --> 00:47:30,040
Speaker 2: those two guys. They're incredibly now you know, third, fourth, fifth, whatever.

996
00:47:30,120 --> 00:47:32,919
Speaker 2: Best players on the team. It's Tatum and it's Brown Trey.

997
00:47:33,440 --> 00:47:35,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, but you're still getting that Camball love coming in

998
00:47:35,719 --> 00:47:38,200
Speaker 5: knocking down the free throws to really close things out

999
00:47:39,080 --> 00:47:41,839
Speaker 5: in the fourth quarter. You know, Steve Kirby always tells

1000
00:47:41,880 --> 00:47:44,760
Speaker 5: me the team with the best guards wins in March Madness.

1001
00:47:44,800 --> 00:47:46,680
Speaker 5: I don't know if that's actually true, but that's something

1002
00:47:46,680 --> 00:47:48,680
Speaker 5: he's always said to me. And the Celtics have a

1003
00:47:48,760 --> 00:47:51,040
Speaker 5: lot of guys who can handle the ball and get

1004
00:47:51,040 --> 00:47:53,360
Speaker 5: shots when they need to, and you know they have

1005
00:47:53,440 --> 00:47:56,000
Speaker 5: a at this point. Jason Tatum and Jalen Brown are

1006
00:47:56,000 --> 00:47:57,920
Speaker 5: both young players, but they've had a lot of playoff

1007
00:47:57,960 --> 00:48:01,440
Speaker 5: moments already. Despite playing just the few seasons. Kemba Walker

1008
00:48:01,440 --> 00:48:03,279
Speaker 5: doesn't have a ton of playoff experience, but you can

1009
00:48:03,280 --> 00:48:06,080
Speaker 5: tell he relishes the opportunity to actually make some clutch

1010
00:48:06,120 --> 00:48:09,560
Speaker 5: shots that actually matter for something. Celtics, they're looking good.

1011
00:48:09,600 --> 00:48:12,040
Speaker 5: You can beat them up inside, but maybe it doesn't

1012
00:48:12,040 --> 00:48:14,359
Speaker 5: matter when those are two point baskets compared to their

1013
00:48:14,400 --> 00:48:17,040
Speaker 5: three point baskets and guys that even if you take

1014
00:48:17,640 --> 00:48:19,480
Speaker 5: Jason Tatum out of the game in the fourth quarter,

1015
00:48:19,640 --> 00:48:21,640
Speaker 5: Jaylen Brown just catches fire. What are you going to

1016
00:48:21,680 --> 00:48:24,520
Speaker 5: do when there are two wings like that out there

1017
00:48:24,560 --> 00:48:27,000
Speaker 5: that can make plays, can make shots. It's like a

1018
00:48:27,080 --> 00:48:29,160
Speaker 5: junior version of the Clippers, right. That's why people are

1019
00:48:29,160 --> 00:48:31,520
Speaker 5: so excited about the Celtics. To see Brown and Tatum

1020
00:48:31,560 --> 00:48:34,880
Speaker 5: both flourishing in the postseason. That's tough for sure.

1021
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:37,200
Speaker 3: And I was pumped to watch Jalen Brown this postseason

1022
00:48:37,200 --> 00:48:39,279
Speaker 3: because he said it a few months ago. He said

1023
00:48:39,320 --> 00:48:40,759
Speaker 3: I'm going to be better in the playoffs. When he

1024
00:48:40,800 --> 00:48:42,080
Speaker 3: had a bad game, he was asked, but he said,

1025
00:48:42,080 --> 00:48:43,960
Speaker 3: don't worry, I'm going to be better in the playoffs,

1026
00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:47,960
Speaker 3: talking a big game and obviously coming through. And I

1027
00:48:48,040 --> 00:48:51,200
Speaker 3: want to see how him, Tatum and then yeah, Kemba,

1028
00:48:51,239 --> 00:48:54,480
Speaker 3: who will basically pick up the scraps. Those three guys

1029
00:48:54,480 --> 00:48:57,279
Speaker 3: basically can just say I'm taking this possession, this is

1030
00:48:57,360 --> 00:48:59,839
Speaker 3: my possession now. I think that sort of sometimes leads

1031
00:48:59,880 --> 00:49:03,240
Speaker 3: to a dead zone in their offense. Sometimes they go cold,

1032
00:49:03,280 --> 00:49:06,359
Speaker 3: and they did him this. They were stretches, but that's

1033
00:49:06,360 --> 00:49:08,680
Speaker 3: why they're also I guess like a college team in

1034
00:49:08,680 --> 00:49:11,839
Speaker 3: that it's like, here you go, man, make it happen.

1035
00:49:11,920 --> 00:49:14,040
Speaker 3: We'll give you a pick, you'll get the ball. You're

1036
00:49:14,120 --> 00:49:17,399
Speaker 3: just better than everybody else. Just do it. And so yeah,

1037
00:49:17,400 --> 00:49:19,239
Speaker 3: that was fun watching. It was fun to watch Annas Canter.

1038
00:49:19,360 --> 00:49:21,279
Speaker 3: I think you know, he only played eight minutes, but

1039
00:49:21,640 --> 00:49:23,880
Speaker 3: Trey said it. He's something. He's good in the playoffs

1040
00:49:23,960 --> 00:49:27,720
Speaker 3: and he came through with some some three offensive boards.

1041
00:49:28,280 --> 00:49:30,760
Speaker 3: Just give them extra possessions. It's just such a weird

1042
00:49:30,880 --> 00:49:36,320
Speaker 3: rotation of Daniel Tye, Annis Canter and Robert Williams. Anthony Davis.

1043
00:49:36,320 --> 00:49:38,040
Speaker 3: They could use Anthony Davis they always wanted.

1044
00:49:40,880 --> 00:49:42,799
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think he us an Anthony Davis type.

1045
00:49:43,040 --> 00:49:45,680
Speaker 2: Definitely take him. Oh man, it was nice to see

1046
00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:48,480
Speaker 2: our boy Chieve though in the virtual board, you.

1047
00:49:48,400 --> 00:49:51,960
Speaker 5: Guys see that they got a surprise. If I'm not mistaken,

1048
00:49:52,160 --> 00:49:55,320
Speaker 5: Chieve has logged onto the YouTube chat as well. You

1049
00:49:55,440 --> 00:49:57,000
Speaker 5: must have heard the Bean Town Boys music.

1050
00:49:57,520 --> 00:49:59,880
Speaker 2: Excellent. So good win for the for the Celtics. The

1051
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:02,759
Speaker 2: they take game one all right, final game. Fred van

1052
00:50:02,840 --> 00:50:06,000
Speaker 2: Vliet leads the red hot Raptors to the one thirty

1053
00:50:06,040 --> 00:50:09,719
Speaker 2: four one ten game one win over the Nets. I'll

1054
00:50:09,719 --> 00:50:13,080
Speaker 2: get us started here. It's just one game. But the

1055
00:50:13,160 --> 00:50:17,239
Speaker 2: Raptors Championship has changed me, guys. It's changed me, and

1056
00:50:17,280 --> 00:50:19,080
Speaker 2: maybe not for the better. I don't know if you

1057
00:50:19,120 --> 00:50:21,840
Speaker 2: saw how closely you were watching this game with Twitter

1058
00:50:21,920 --> 00:50:25,839
Speaker 2: going on, but Raptors were up sixty eight to thirty five.

1059
00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:28,200
Speaker 2: This is a game one. Raptors always lose game one,

1060
00:50:28,239 --> 00:50:29,800
Speaker 2: so this was weird. Five minutes to go in the

1061
00:50:29,800 --> 00:50:32,800
Speaker 2: first half and I'm like, I'm doing it. I'm tweeting

1062
00:50:32,800 --> 00:50:36,040
Speaker 2: the task thumb. I'm throwing it out there. I've changed, man.

1063
00:50:36,080 --> 00:50:37,960
Speaker 2: I would have never done this in the past. I've

1064
00:50:38,000 --> 00:50:41,040
Speaker 2: watched a million basketball games. That's a massive lead. Yes,

1065
00:50:42,120 --> 00:50:44,560
Speaker 2: it can be gone like that. It can be suddenly,

1066
00:50:44,600 --> 00:50:47,040
Speaker 2: you know, a ten point deficit that the team is down,

1067
00:50:47,080 --> 00:50:49,640
Speaker 2: and that's nothing in today's NBA. In the matter of

1068
00:50:49,680 --> 00:50:52,080
Speaker 2: like eight minutes, and I was like, I'm doing it anyway,

1069
00:50:52,120 --> 00:50:53,520
Speaker 2: So I tweeted it, and then I'm like, what have

1070
00:50:53,600 --> 00:50:57,160
Speaker 2: I done? Because you know, the Nets went on the run.

1071
00:50:57,400 --> 00:50:59,839
Speaker 2: As every every game happens in the NBA, the team

1072
00:50:59,840 --> 00:51:01,200
Speaker 2: of eventually is gonna go on the run, and they

1073
00:51:01,239 --> 00:51:03,880
Speaker 2: had it down to eight. But here's why it's different.

1074
00:51:04,600 --> 00:51:08,640
Speaker 2: Never once was I truly scared, Tass. I was just like, okay,

1075
00:51:08,800 --> 00:51:10,960
Speaker 2: this this happens. They've caught fire a little bit here.

1076
00:51:10,960 --> 00:51:13,400
Speaker 2: They figured some things out, they changed up out how

1077
00:51:13,400 --> 00:51:16,000
Speaker 2: they were gonna use Karslavert. That's fine, but you're like,

1078
00:51:16,040 --> 00:51:19,640
Speaker 2: the Raptors are going to still regain control of this

1079
00:51:19,719 --> 00:51:23,080
Speaker 2: game and likely win convincingly. But at the very least,

1080
00:51:23,080 --> 00:51:25,560
Speaker 2: even if it's close. I like the chances, especially with

1081
00:51:25,600 --> 00:51:28,239
Speaker 2: the way fred van Vliet was playing. That guy is

1082
00:51:28,280 --> 00:51:32,879
Speaker 2: gonna get paid. Oh my god, and deservedly so. He's

1083
00:51:32,920 --> 00:51:35,520
Speaker 2: so damn good. But this is it. I mean, it's

1084
00:51:35,520 --> 00:51:37,600
Speaker 2: so wild. Your team win the championships. Suddenly have you

1085
00:51:37,640 --> 00:51:39,520
Speaker 2: all faith in the world. I don't care who they're playing,

1086
00:51:39,520 --> 00:51:42,200
Speaker 2: even if it is the lowly nets. That was It

1087
00:51:42,239 --> 00:51:45,040
Speaker 2: was an unbelievable first half from the Raps with what

1088
00:51:45,080 --> 00:51:46,919
Speaker 2: they were doing and Van Vliet going eight for ten

1089
00:51:46,960 --> 00:51:48,520
Speaker 2: from three, I don't think you're gonna lose a ton

1090
00:51:48,560 --> 00:51:49,520
Speaker 2: of games when he's doing them.

1091
00:51:51,280 --> 00:51:56,160
Speaker 3: Thirty points from Freddy. Now I'm I'm on the record

1092
00:51:56,200 --> 00:51:58,560
Speaker 3: for saying if the Raptors win the title. Fred van

1093
00:51:58,600 --> 00:52:00,440
Speaker 3: Vliet will win finals.

1094
00:52:00,120 --> 00:52:03,760
Speaker 2: Mv You're looking good after one year in one.

1095
00:52:03,640 --> 00:52:06,640
Speaker 3: Game, but Freddy's gonna win four finals m vps in

1096
00:52:06,640 --> 00:52:09,360
Speaker 3: a row. No, it's just one game, but yeah, Freddy

1097
00:52:09,440 --> 00:52:14,120
Speaker 3: van Vliet will be the first undrafted finals MVP. I

1098
00:52:14,160 --> 00:52:15,440
Speaker 3: didn't check would.

1099
00:52:15,200 --> 00:52:16,640
Speaker 5: He be the first draft final?

1100
00:52:16,719 --> 00:52:21,560
Speaker 3: And he didn't check that? No, I'm no, that's a

1101
00:52:21,560 --> 00:52:23,640
Speaker 3: good point. Yeah, I don't know. If we had some

1102
00:52:23,640 --> 00:52:26,440
Speaker 3: some weird rules and the George Mike and Arrow where

1103
00:52:26,440 --> 00:52:28,080
Speaker 3: guys weren't drafted or something.

1104
00:52:28,160 --> 00:52:31,280
Speaker 2: They had like eight rounds in those drafts in there.

1105
00:52:31,560 --> 00:52:35,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know. So, yeah, it's it probably would

1106
00:52:35,239 --> 00:52:37,799
Speaker 3: be Freddy. I'm still I'm I'm I'm totally fine with

1107
00:52:37,840 --> 00:52:41,680
Speaker 3: that because it's it's sort of a I'm fine with

1108
00:52:41,719 --> 00:52:43,279
Speaker 3: that prediction because it's kind of a mirror image of

1109
00:52:43,280 --> 00:52:45,479
Speaker 3: what's happening right now. They try and take away past

1110
00:52:45,520 --> 00:52:48,080
Speaker 3: Gal Sakham. The Net's do a really good job of

1111
00:52:48,080 --> 00:52:51,800
Speaker 3: focusing on him with with Jared Allen just ready to

1112
00:52:52,239 --> 00:52:55,640
Speaker 3: be there as a big and didn't have a good game,

1113
00:52:55,680 --> 00:52:58,760
Speaker 3: and then Kyle lower was their primary ball handler and

1114
00:52:59,560 --> 00:53:02,400
Speaker 3: he was you know, he didn't have a great shooting night.

1115
00:53:02,440 --> 00:53:05,040
Speaker 3: But he did everything else Kyle Lowry does. And so

1116
00:53:06,520 --> 00:53:08,800
Speaker 3: I think Fred just kind of he gets the scraps

1117
00:53:08,840 --> 00:53:12,000
Speaker 3: a little bit. And because Lowry's not a score because

1118
00:53:12,080 --> 00:53:16,280
Speaker 3: everybody is so unselfish at times, Fred's gonna get shots.

1119
00:53:16,320 --> 00:53:17,920
Speaker 3: And the way they play them and they drop back

1120
00:53:17,920 --> 00:53:20,399
Speaker 3: in the pick and roll coverage, good night Irene. He's

1121
00:53:20,440 --> 00:53:23,360
Speaker 3: going to shoot. And he's a different player than he

1122
00:53:23,440 --> 00:53:25,279
Speaker 3: was last year when he struggled for the first couple

1123
00:53:25,280 --> 00:53:27,640
Speaker 3: of rounds of the playoffs. And so I'll scale it

1124
00:53:27,680 --> 00:53:29,879
Speaker 3: back and I'll say Fred will be the Raptors leading

1125
00:53:29,920 --> 00:53:33,319
Speaker 3: score this series. There you go, because yeah, the way

1126
00:53:33,360 --> 00:53:37,160
Speaker 3: they really get after Pascal Siakam, they did a fairly

1127
00:53:37,160 --> 00:53:39,600
Speaker 3: good job on him, but Pascal was also smart and

1128
00:53:39,880 --> 00:53:42,200
Speaker 3: passed out of that enough of the time for the

1129
00:53:42,280 --> 00:53:43,920
Speaker 3: Raptors to be successful on an offense.

1130
00:53:44,200 --> 00:53:46,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, and again kudos to the Nets. I mean they

1131
00:53:46,719 --> 00:53:49,040
Speaker 2: got back in this game. They were getting embarrassed. I

1132
00:53:49,040 --> 00:53:51,839
Speaker 2: mean you said it. Lowry was dominating this game in

1133
00:53:51,880 --> 00:53:55,160
Speaker 2: the first half like that was just it was clinical.

1134
00:53:55,360 --> 00:53:59,120
Speaker 2: He just had his imprint all over this game. Anything

1135
00:53:59,160 --> 00:54:00,840
Speaker 2: he was deciding to do, we were gonna do is

1136
00:54:00,840 --> 00:54:03,040
Speaker 2: taking all these charges, he got the builds, his lead up,

1137
00:54:03,040 --> 00:54:05,440
Speaker 2: all these guys, got everybody helping, and then the Nets

1138
00:54:05,440 --> 00:54:07,680
Speaker 2: like could have just rolled over and died, and they didn't.

1139
00:54:07,760 --> 00:54:09,440
Speaker 2: They you know, started scrapping at the end of that

1140
00:54:09,480 --> 00:54:12,480
Speaker 2: second quarter, kept it going to the third. And I

1141
00:54:12,520 --> 00:54:15,239
Speaker 2: still think and steal a game here. I really think,

1142
00:54:15,320 --> 00:54:17,480
Speaker 2: truly believe that even though the Raptors are a much

1143
00:54:17,640 --> 00:54:20,439
Speaker 2: deeper team, a much better team, they have like five

1144
00:54:20,520 --> 00:54:23,959
Speaker 2: hundred games worth of playoff experience, so they're not gonna

1145
00:54:23,960 --> 00:54:27,040
Speaker 2: get flustered. But I actually still believe the Nets could

1146
00:54:27,040 --> 00:54:28,640
Speaker 2: take one tray? Am I crazy for thinking that?

1147
00:54:29,040 --> 00:54:29,320
Speaker 5: Yep?

1148
00:54:29,840 --> 00:54:30,319
Speaker 2: You think so?

1149
00:54:30,400 --> 00:54:32,799
Speaker 5: Eh, Yeah, I do think so. You know, the Nets

1150
00:54:32,800 --> 00:54:34,399
Speaker 5: are pretty bad. They don't have a lot of really

1151
00:54:34,440 --> 00:54:36,400
Speaker 5: good players on their team at this point. They're all

1152
00:54:36,520 --> 00:54:39,600
Speaker 5: hurt or they have opted out of the restart. But

1153
00:54:40,280 --> 00:54:42,800
Speaker 5: you know, I think the biggest advantage that the Raptors

1154
00:54:42,800 --> 00:54:44,560
Speaker 5: have is they have Nick Nurse, and that guy is

1155
00:54:44,640 --> 00:54:47,080
Speaker 5: just an incredible coach man, Like, he had a great

1156
00:54:47,080 --> 00:54:49,680
Speaker 5: plan for Kris Lavert coming out of the game, kind

1157
00:54:49,680 --> 00:54:51,279
Speaker 5: of took him out of it, took him out of

1158
00:54:51,320 --> 00:54:53,560
Speaker 5: things for the Nets to start off with. But then

1159
00:54:53,680 --> 00:54:55,680
Speaker 5: the nets adjusting, they get Kris Lavert going, and then

1160
00:54:55,840 --> 00:54:58,040
Speaker 5: the third quarter was like, Okay, here's what we're gonna do.

1161
00:54:58,080 --> 00:55:00,399
Speaker 5: We're gonna start trapping you basically at half court. Now

1162
00:55:00,640 --> 00:55:02,759
Speaker 5: here are four guys on the nets who we have

1163
00:55:02,840 --> 00:55:04,560
Speaker 5: no idea who they are. Now they've got to make

1164
00:55:04,600 --> 00:55:07,759
Speaker 5: plays in the playoffs. And credit to TLC, he had

1165
00:55:07,800 --> 00:55:09,840
Speaker 5: another really good game. He's been great so far in

1166
00:55:09,880 --> 00:55:12,560
Speaker 5: the bub. He's making his case to be a role player.

1167
00:55:12,600 --> 00:55:15,399
Speaker 5: But if you're wanting to get twenty six points from

1168
00:55:15,440 --> 00:55:20,280
Speaker 5: Timothy Timothy Luau Cabareau to beat the defending champion Raptors

1169
00:55:20,320 --> 00:55:22,200
Speaker 5: in a new era where they can win game ones,

1170
00:55:22,239 --> 00:55:25,479
Speaker 5: it's just not gonna happen. So yeah, I mean, maybe

1171
00:55:25,520 --> 00:55:28,480
Speaker 5: the Nets get hot, maybe the Raptors get cold, and

1172
00:55:28,560 --> 00:55:30,440
Speaker 5: you can pull off a win if you're Brooklyn. But

1173
00:55:31,719 --> 00:55:34,560
Speaker 5: the Raptors they're really good. They play together as a team.

1174
00:55:34,560 --> 00:55:36,480
Speaker 5: They've got a lot of guys who can make shots.

1175
00:55:36,520 --> 00:55:40,200
Speaker 5: You know, Siakam hasn't didn't have an incredible game, but

1176
00:55:40,719 --> 00:55:44,040
Speaker 5: you imagine he will at some points. And like Fred

1177
00:55:44,080 --> 00:55:46,840
Speaker 5: van Vliet, the guy just can't miss. Ever since that

1178
00:55:48,000 --> 00:55:50,960
Speaker 5: the Philadelphia series last year, right and now he's just

1179
00:55:51,000 --> 00:55:52,560
Speaker 5: he's just gonna keep making shots forever.

1180
00:55:52,840 --> 00:55:54,959
Speaker 2: No, it's wild, all right, Tash. Here's the one question

1181
00:55:55,000 --> 00:55:58,440
Speaker 2: from this game. What was the better pregame moment Jesse

1182
00:55:58,560 --> 00:56:01,280
Speaker 2: Reyes singing O Canada on top of the CN Tower

1183
00:56:01,960 --> 00:56:05,879
Speaker 2: or the Raptors families introducing the starting five Allah the son,

1184
00:56:06,000 --> 00:56:09,560
Speaker 2: especially Lowry's kids. Well, what was the better Canadian moment?

1185
00:56:10,719 --> 00:56:15,560
Speaker 3: Well? God, now I'm picking between my children. I love

1186
00:56:15,640 --> 00:56:19,040
Speaker 3: me some Jesse Reyes. I always have. I always sent

1187
00:56:19,200 --> 00:56:23,960
Speaker 3: her her clips around, especially to our friend Jay, who

1188
00:56:24,640 --> 00:56:28,879
Speaker 3: who was a little anti Jesse at times, but now

1189
00:56:28,920 --> 00:56:32,960
Speaker 3: he's come around as well. I love her, love her twang.

1190
00:56:33,360 --> 00:56:35,000
Speaker 3: And so she was great on top of the CN

1191
00:56:35,080 --> 00:56:37,799
Speaker 3: tower there. But I got to give it to got

1192
00:56:37,800 --> 00:56:40,399
Speaker 3: to give it to those Raps moments. Lowry's kids were great,

1193
00:56:40,960 --> 00:56:43,799
Speaker 3: Marca Sol's kids were great. I loved his son, his

1194
00:56:43,920 --> 00:56:48,600
Speaker 3: daughter who I guess when we we interviewed him, that

1195
00:56:48,680 --> 00:56:51,120
Speaker 3: was back at the New York All Star Game. So

1196
00:56:51,160 --> 00:56:56,000
Speaker 3: that was fifteen yep. And so she I guess, you know,

1197
00:56:56,040 --> 00:56:58,560
Speaker 3: it was about five to six or whatever she is.

1198
00:56:58,719 --> 00:57:01,160
Speaker 3: She led, She led them Marcus Soule intro. But I

1199
00:57:01,200 --> 00:57:04,799
Speaker 3: love the sun just chiming in us. He just really

1200
00:57:04,920 --> 00:57:07,719
Speaker 3: repeated what she said. Uh and but and then the

1201
00:57:07,719 --> 00:57:09,000
Speaker 3: og An Andobi intro.

1202
00:57:10,560 --> 00:57:11,480
Speaker 2: That was amazing.

1203
00:57:12,440 --> 00:57:20,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, just dead straight o G so so good. So yeah,

1204
00:57:20,160 --> 00:57:22,320
Speaker 3: it was very heartwarming, very very heartwarming.

1205
00:57:22,360 --> 00:57:24,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, Trade, did you have an opinion on that? Which

1206
00:57:24,520 --> 00:57:24,880
Speaker 2: was better?

1207
00:57:25,200 --> 00:57:29,080
Speaker 5: Who's Jesse Rayes? Is this a notable Canadian artist?

1208
00:57:29,760 --> 00:57:32,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, she's making her making her way around the US

1209
00:57:32,320 --> 00:57:35,400
Speaker 3: of A as well. Okay, okay, yeah, maybe I'm giving

1210
00:57:35,440 --> 00:57:38,439
Speaker 3: her more. Yeah, yeah, I love her love and she's

1211
00:57:38,480 --> 00:57:38,880
Speaker 3: around you.

1212
00:57:39,320 --> 00:57:42,720
Speaker 5: Well, you know, maybe I'll check out her catalog as

1213
00:57:42,720 --> 00:57:44,520
Speaker 5: soon as we're done recording. That's not for me. That

1214
00:57:44,600 --> 00:57:46,680
Speaker 5: Lowry moment was great. How are you ever going to

1215
00:57:46,760 --> 00:57:49,280
Speaker 5: lose a game after your family introduces you? Team should

1216
00:57:49,320 --> 00:57:52,560
Speaker 5: do this for every single game, right, everybody gets fired up?

1217
00:57:52,640 --> 00:57:56,720
Speaker 2: Right Lowry, He's like he was so bumped.

1218
00:57:57,000 --> 00:57:59,320
Speaker 5: He was happier than when he won the championship last year.

1219
00:58:00,120 --> 00:58:03,000
Speaker 5: So I don't know, run it back every single time.

1220
00:58:03,040 --> 00:58:05,840
Speaker 5: You know, the families are at home, they've got the

1221
00:58:05,880 --> 00:58:08,080
Speaker 5: time to whip together some sort of intro, and I'm

1222
00:58:08,280 --> 00:58:09,800
Speaker 5: clearly the players love it as well.

1223
00:58:09,960 --> 00:58:12,560
Speaker 2: Would you guys do the edgewalk like Jesse was up

1224
00:58:12,600 --> 00:58:15,880
Speaker 2: there singing the anthem up top. Yep, there's a photo

1225
00:58:15,920 --> 00:58:18,040
Speaker 2: of her taking the knee too. I should have pointed

1226
00:58:18,040 --> 00:58:20,680
Speaker 2: that out as well. I've done this before a long

1227
00:58:20,720 --> 00:58:22,640
Speaker 2: time ago. It's like, actually, when it sort of first open,

1228
00:58:22,680 --> 00:58:25,320
Speaker 2: would you guys do this, either of you? Pick and

1229
00:58:25,400 --> 00:58:26,520
Speaker 2: pay off? Pick and pay off?

1230
00:58:29,120 --> 00:58:31,920
Speaker 5: Okay, yeah, for a pick and payoff, I would record

1231
00:58:32,000 --> 00:58:34,200
Speaker 5: a podcast from the top of the CN Tower.

1232
00:58:34,280 --> 00:58:34,600
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1233
00:58:34,880 --> 00:58:37,840
Speaker 5: A heights lover. You know, I'm not seeking out heights.

1234
00:58:37,840 --> 00:58:40,680
Speaker 5: I'm not necessarily terrified of them, but I don't want

1235
00:58:40,680 --> 00:58:43,200
Speaker 5: to be hanging off the edge. What's up, guys, You've

1236
00:58:43,200 --> 00:58:44,560
Speaker 5: got to be in a plane up there.

1237
00:58:45,360 --> 00:58:47,560
Speaker 3: I've done the glass floor on the CN Tower. Got

1238
00:58:47,600 --> 00:58:50,040
Speaker 3: no problem with that. Looking down. It's indoors, but you're

1239
00:58:50,040 --> 00:58:52,080
Speaker 3: looking all the way down to the ground walking on

1240
00:58:52,160 --> 00:58:55,240
Speaker 3: a glass floor. Yeah, it's just so different being outside.

1241
00:58:55,720 --> 00:58:59,800
Speaker 3: So I also not a heights lover, but I'm not

1242
00:58:59,800 --> 00:59:03,120
Speaker 3: a okay, okay, yeah, we're.

1243
00:59:02,920 --> 00:59:05,680
Speaker 5: Just heights agnostic over here. They happened, heights happened.

1244
00:59:06,200 --> 00:59:08,200
Speaker 2: If we can all do a podcast up there, we

1245
00:59:08,200 --> 00:59:10,440
Speaker 2: should make that happen. I like that. It's gonna be

1246
00:59:10,520 --> 00:59:14,560
Speaker 2: real windy on the mic though very very It was

1247
00:59:14,560 --> 00:59:16,000
Speaker 2: a lot of fun. I would definitely do it again.

1248
00:59:16,160 --> 00:59:18,680
Speaker 2: You feel very very secure. I feel like I've talked

1249
00:59:18,680 --> 00:59:22,480
Speaker 2: about this on the podcast before. I almost felt too secure,

1250
00:59:23,360 --> 00:59:26,120
Speaker 2: like I was too locked in, like there was no

1251
00:59:26,440 --> 00:59:29,640
Speaker 2: concern of mine, like oh this could rip or let

1252
00:59:29,680 --> 00:59:32,080
Speaker 2: go and I'm done. I was like, I'm like three

1253
00:59:32,200 --> 00:59:35,000
Speaker 2: times linked in here, like nothing's happening. So I almost

1254
00:59:35,080 --> 00:59:37,080
Speaker 2: was like a little disappointed. It wasn't as scary as

1255
00:59:37,120 --> 00:59:38,600
Speaker 2: I thought it would be. It was very cool though,

1256
00:59:38,600 --> 00:59:40,360
Speaker 2: because the air show was going on the day I

1257
00:59:40,400 --> 00:59:42,640
Speaker 2: was doing it, so they were like, it felt like

1258
00:59:42,680 --> 00:59:45,000
Speaker 2: you could reach out and touch like a fighter jet,

1259
00:59:45,120 --> 00:59:45,800
Speaker 2: like blowing by.

1260
00:59:45,880 --> 00:59:46,120
Speaker 3: It was.

1261
00:59:46,360 --> 00:59:49,680
Speaker 2: That was pretty wild. I just felt so damn close. Yeah,

1262
00:59:50,000 --> 00:59:51,000
Speaker 2: that part was actually creep.

1263
00:59:51,040 --> 00:59:52,560
Speaker 5: You want to get ripped off the c N tower

1264
00:59:52,640 --> 00:59:54,480
Speaker 5: grab a fighter jet water up there?

1265
00:59:55,840 --> 00:59:57,760
Speaker 2: No, I just grabbed onto it. I came back. They

1266
00:59:57,840 --> 00:59:59,560
Speaker 2: dropped me off, had great balance.

1267
01:00:00,480 --> 01:00:02,280
Speaker 3: It was at the end of the exhibition or the

1268
01:00:02,320 --> 01:00:04,240
Speaker 3: old Is that what just happened?

1269
01:00:04,360 --> 01:00:05,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was right around there. It was like, what's

1270
01:00:05,880 --> 01:00:09,520
Speaker 2: that like September or something like that. Yeah, because Norah

1271
01:00:09,600 --> 01:00:13,200
Speaker 2: definitely got me that edgewok, which is what it's called. Yeah,

1272
01:00:13,200 --> 01:00:14,760
Speaker 2: for my birthday. So it was like end of August

1273
01:00:14,840 --> 01:00:15,440
Speaker 2: or the September.

1274
01:00:15,480 --> 01:00:17,240
Speaker 3: So, and you want to you're a thrill seeker. You

1275
01:00:17,320 --> 01:00:19,120
Speaker 3: want to be able to you want to be feeling

1276
01:00:19,160 --> 01:00:20,720
Speaker 3: it a little bit right, you want to be feeling

1277
01:00:20,800 --> 01:00:23,320
Speaker 3: a little little scary in the pants.

1278
01:00:23,520 --> 01:00:26,040
Speaker 2: Totally, totally. I mean, look, look, I should say like

1279
01:00:26,080 --> 01:00:28,720
Speaker 2: I was like, you know, like like doing a handstand

1280
01:00:28,720 --> 01:00:30,880
Speaker 2: out there or something like that, But I wasn't like

1281
01:00:31,560 --> 01:00:34,680
Speaker 2: after like the initial first minute, like you're like, whoa,

1282
01:00:35,040 --> 01:00:38,040
Speaker 2: this is wild. We are standing outside the centl right now,

1283
01:00:38,240 --> 01:00:40,480
Speaker 2: My god, we're high. Then you just feel like because

1284
01:00:40,520 --> 01:00:42,640
Speaker 2: then you start doing the whole thing, like you're leaning back,

1285
01:00:42,680 --> 01:00:45,360
Speaker 2: you got your heels on the side. Like again, they

1286
01:00:45,400 --> 01:00:47,040
Speaker 2: would have let me. I would have like just straight

1287
01:00:47,120 --> 01:00:49,120
Speaker 2: up swe you're not allowed to, but like you can

1288
01:00:49,200 --> 01:00:51,960
Speaker 2: just swing out, you know, like you're locked in, man,

1289
01:00:51,960 --> 01:00:53,120
Speaker 2: you ain't going anywhere.

1290
01:00:53,320 --> 01:00:53,720
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1291
01:00:53,840 --> 01:00:57,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, but that's good. I guess you want that. We're

1292
01:00:57,920 --> 01:00:59,000
Speaker 2: just kind of a scary.

1293
01:00:59,000 --> 01:01:01,560
Speaker 5: And after that you're like just one clip.

1294
01:01:02,040 --> 01:01:04,560
Speaker 2: I just like like, can I use a Trey's skipping

1295
01:01:04,640 --> 01:01:07,360
Speaker 2: rope here instead? You know, like make this a little exciting.

1296
01:01:07,440 --> 01:01:09,080
Speaker 2: But yeah, I.

1297
01:01:09,120 --> 01:01:11,680
Speaker 3: Like I like bo Maxwell's term here for for Trey

1298
01:01:11,720 --> 01:01:16,080
Speaker 3: and I were hYP tolerators. I'm a hYP tolerator.

1299
01:01:16,200 --> 01:01:17,360
Speaker 2: A good way to put it. It's a good way

1300
01:01:17,400 --> 01:01:19,960
Speaker 2: to put it. All right, let's uh, let's move on

1301
01:01:20,000 --> 01:01:22,600
Speaker 2: from the games. There wes got four more coming up today,

1302
01:01:23,320 --> 01:01:26,200
Speaker 2: little pick them updates. Speaking of the pick them just

1303
01:01:26,200 --> 01:01:28,320
Speaker 2: so you guys know, maybe you were just catching this.

1304
01:01:28,400 --> 01:01:30,920
Speaker 2: You didn't hear us talking about this before. The Grizzlies

1305
01:01:30,960 --> 01:01:33,920
Speaker 2: covered the line in the playing game way back on Saturday.

1306
01:01:34,400 --> 01:01:36,280
Speaker 2: Saturday feels like a week ago, but a couple of

1307
01:01:36,360 --> 01:01:38,360
Speaker 2: days ago. So that was a big win for Lee

1308
01:01:38,400 --> 01:01:39,960
Speaker 2: and I. We took the Grizzlies to cover. They of

1309
01:01:40,000 --> 01:01:42,240
Speaker 2: course lost the game, but they covered so tough. L

1310
01:01:42,320 --> 01:01:46,320
Speaker 2: for Tasks and Trey. They're tied. So you guys have

1311
01:01:46,440 --> 01:01:49,320
Speaker 2: to pay off your bubble loss here because the seating

1312
01:01:49,360 --> 01:01:50,880
Speaker 2: games are done. We're not gonna be doing pick them

1313
01:01:50,920 --> 01:01:53,440
Speaker 2: during the playoffs. It's something we just don't do. But

Speaker 3: Of the night, Tweet out the night.

1321
01:02:15,040 --> 01:02:21,400
Speaker 2: Wow, all right, Tweet of the night. You know, no

1322
01:02:21,560 --> 01:02:23,280
Speaker 2: Leley here, but we're gonna take turns with this throughout

1323
01:02:23,280 --> 01:02:25,520
Speaker 2: the playoffs. Anyway, I'll get it started. I'm gonna give

1324
01:02:25,520 --> 01:02:29,880
Speaker 2: it to at J Tyler Conway just because I thought

1325
01:02:29,880 --> 01:02:31,919
Speaker 2: he presented it the best. There was a million people

1326
01:02:32,000 --> 01:02:36,000
Speaker 2: showing this, but he wrote. Lebron just debuted the Tune

1327
01:02:36,080 --> 01:02:39,320
Speaker 2: Squad jersey he'll wear in Space jam. We have the video,

1328
01:02:39,360 --> 01:02:44,120
Speaker 2: I believe Jad here it is Trey opinions on the

1329
01:02:44,240 --> 01:02:47,760
Speaker 2: new Tune Squad. Look, what do you think of this jersey?

1330
01:02:48,360 --> 01:02:51,600
Speaker 5: I'm up on this team. Really warned the colors of

1331
01:02:51,640 --> 01:02:55,920
Speaker 5: the Louisville Dolphins. I got a support. My question though,

1332
01:02:56,000 --> 01:02:59,800
Speaker 5: is like, why is Lebron so serious in this little promo,

1333
01:03:00,200 --> 01:03:02,280
Speaker 5: looking like he's going out there to win Game seven

1334
01:03:02,280 --> 01:03:06,400
Speaker 5: of the NBA Finals, not save the Looney Tunes from

1335
01:03:06,440 --> 01:03:09,600
Speaker 5: the Monstars. Have a little smile, man, you're talking about

1336
01:03:09,600 --> 01:03:10,840
Speaker 5: hanging out with bugs Bunny.

1337
01:03:11,520 --> 01:03:14,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a new legacy, man, It's a serious legacy.

1338
01:03:14,120 --> 01:03:15,560
Speaker 2: I guess what do you think tasks?

1339
01:03:16,160 --> 01:03:18,560
Speaker 3: I wondered at first if it was an animated Lebron.

1340
01:03:18,880 --> 01:03:22,600
Speaker 2: It does look animated totally. But is that just because

1341
01:03:22,640 --> 01:03:24,720
Speaker 2: it's like not the highest quality of this clip that

1342
01:03:24,720 --> 01:03:26,160
Speaker 2: they were sharing last night. I don't know.

1343
01:03:27,320 --> 01:03:30,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe it's just because of the the green screen

1344
01:03:30,400 --> 01:03:33,560
Speaker 3: going on. Yeah, if it is, I don't know.

1345
01:03:33,600 --> 01:03:34,760
Speaker 2: What do you think of the jersey though? What do

1346
01:03:34,800 --> 01:03:35,000
Speaker 2: you think?

1347
01:03:36,360 --> 01:03:39,160
Speaker 3: I love the colors, you know, even as a Bills fan,

1348
01:03:39,600 --> 01:03:42,240
Speaker 3: I was a Bill's fan. I'm okay with the Dolphins

1349
01:03:42,280 --> 01:03:46,000
Speaker 3: colors out there, but I'm not I'm not in love

1350
01:03:46,040 --> 01:03:49,840
Speaker 3: when the shirt connects with the shorts. The pattern on

1351
01:03:49,840 --> 01:03:53,120
Speaker 3: the shirt connects with the shorts, and it's even it's

1352
01:03:53,160 --> 01:03:56,280
Speaker 3: a little bit off. You can see on the left part. Man,

1353
01:03:56,400 --> 01:03:59,840
Speaker 3: it's not in line, and who cares? But listen, I'm

1354
01:04:00,200 --> 01:04:03,480
Speaker 3: and then the font, the font just doesn't it doesn't

1355
01:04:03,520 --> 01:04:06,440
Speaker 3: go with it to me. There's just too many things.

1356
01:04:07,120 --> 01:04:09,919
Speaker 3: But whatever, it's a tune squad. I like it better

1357
01:04:09,960 --> 01:04:11,800
Speaker 3: than the first one. I think.

1358
01:04:12,040 --> 01:04:15,320
Speaker 2: I can't wait for the monstars roll out later today.

1359
01:04:15,840 --> 01:04:18,040
Speaker 5: Who's gonna wear them? That's what a question, you know,

1360
01:04:18,080 --> 01:04:21,560
Speaker 5: who's gonna debut it? Will it be smash? I don't

1361
01:04:21,600 --> 01:04:24,280
Speaker 5: know is that one of the monstars. I'm wondering is

1362
01:04:24,280 --> 01:04:26,040
Speaker 5: Michael Jordan gonna be involved in this at all?

1363
01:04:26,080 --> 01:04:26,520
Speaker 2: Do you think?

1364
01:04:26,680 --> 01:04:28,600
Speaker 5: Do you think he's gonna have a little cameo role?

1365
01:04:29,640 --> 01:04:32,320
Speaker 2: I don't think so. I don't know why I think that.

1366
01:04:32,480 --> 01:04:36,120
Speaker 2: I just like, no, I just don't think he will Trey,

1367
01:04:36,320 --> 01:04:38,480
Speaker 2: but it makes sense that he would like suddenly be

1368
01:04:38,520 --> 01:04:42,120
Speaker 2: in him and Bill Murray right like something. But I

1369
01:04:42,120 --> 01:04:43,560
Speaker 2: don't newman.

1370
01:04:43,640 --> 01:04:45,240
Speaker 5: Are they going to bring back all the oldies or

1371
01:04:45,280 --> 01:04:47,600
Speaker 5: is this a completely new legacy? I think we'll get

1372
01:04:47,600 --> 01:04:50,480
Speaker 5: a little Jordan shot. I think so too. I lock

1373
01:04:50,560 --> 01:04:50,840
Speaker 5: it in.

1374
01:04:51,200 --> 01:04:53,360
Speaker 4: What's the point of doing it if if you don't

1375
01:04:53,360 --> 01:04:56,000
Speaker 4: bring back Bill Murray and Michael Jordan, Like.

1376
01:04:56,760 --> 01:04:58,960
Speaker 2: What Jordan's gonna do? Like they're just gonna go to

1377
01:04:59,040 --> 01:05:02,400
Speaker 2: like who bugs is gonna go? Or Daffy Duck's gonna go?

1378
01:05:02,440 --> 01:05:03,400
Speaker 2: Who's gonna save us?

1379
01:05:03,440 --> 01:05:03,919
Speaker 5: This time?

1380
01:05:04,000 --> 01:05:07,600
Speaker 2: Then they show like Michael Jordan's smoking a cigar and

1381
01:05:07,680 --> 01:05:10,560
Speaker 2: he like looks at the cameras. I'm too old for

1382
01:05:10,640 --> 01:05:12,400
Speaker 2: this ship, you know, I'm too.

1383
01:05:12,280 --> 01:05:13,160
Speaker 5: Busy with something.

1384
01:05:13,320 --> 01:05:16,200
Speaker 4: One shot of him if he's not in it, then

1385
01:05:16,520 --> 01:05:18,920
Speaker 4: what's the point of any of it? Like, it just

1386
01:05:18,960 --> 01:05:20,160
Speaker 4: doesn't make sense to me, like.

1387
01:05:20,240 --> 01:05:23,160
Speaker 2: Like as a throwaway line, like a gag, a cameo,

1388
01:05:23,240 --> 01:05:25,560
Speaker 2: it's just a cameo. Yeah, you might be right.

1389
01:05:25,760 --> 01:05:26,200
Speaker 5: I don't know.

1390
01:05:26,680 --> 01:05:31,360
Speaker 3: Well, MJ enter a film where he is not the superstar,

1391
01:05:31,760 --> 01:05:34,800
Speaker 3: you know, where somebody else is taken or the guy

1392
01:05:34,840 --> 01:05:37,560
Speaker 3: who is quote unquote you know, taking his role as

1393
01:05:37,680 --> 01:05:40,280
Speaker 3: the goat or attempting to take his role as the goat,

1394
01:05:40,560 --> 01:05:43,520
Speaker 3: and then he features. It doesn't seem like MJ to me.

1395
01:05:43,720 --> 01:05:44,080
Speaker 3: I don't know.

1396
01:05:44,120 --> 01:05:46,360
Speaker 4: I think he could steal the whole movie. One shot,

1397
01:05:46,480 --> 01:05:49,120
Speaker 4: one scene could make the entire movie.

1398
01:05:49,240 --> 01:05:52,240
Speaker 3: So he how he would see it though? Yeah?

1399
01:05:52,360 --> 01:05:56,000
Speaker 2: Maybe well he should be worried because Lebron's gonna out

1400
01:05:56,000 --> 01:05:58,320
Speaker 2: act as ass. That's for sure. Lebron can act, so

1401
01:05:58,440 --> 01:06:00,920
Speaker 2: that part's good. But good start for MJ. Here. These

1402
01:06:00,960 --> 01:06:03,840
Speaker 2: jerseys suck. They're not as good as the original tune

1403
01:06:03,840 --> 01:06:07,440
Speaker 2: Squad look in my opinion that MJ had so I

1404
01:06:07,480 --> 01:06:09,160
Speaker 2: can't wait to see if he'sit it now, let's hear

1405
01:06:09,200 --> 01:06:11,640
Speaker 2: from the YouTube chat and everybody out there listening to

1406
01:06:11,680 --> 01:06:13,480
Speaker 2: the podcast. A little bit later, hit us up on Twitter,

1407
01:06:13,600 --> 01:06:16,240
Speaker 2: what do you think of those jerseys? And well, we

1408
01:06:16,240 --> 01:06:17,880
Speaker 2: should really just get the poll going. I guess at

1409
01:06:17,880 --> 01:06:20,840
Speaker 2: some point, Trey, maybe we're a little maybe we're a

1410
01:06:20,880 --> 01:06:23,280
Speaker 2: little early on this. I don't know when New Legacy

1411
01:06:23,280 --> 01:06:25,919
Speaker 2: comes out. It's probably not till next summer. But yeah,

1412
01:06:25,960 --> 01:06:28,600
Speaker 2: will MJ be in there. Okay, We're gonna end every

1413
01:06:28,920 --> 01:06:31,360
Speaker 2: sort of podcast here through the playoffs with a look

1414
01:06:31,400 --> 01:06:34,320
Speaker 2: ahead quickly. I mean games are starting in a couple hours. Tasks,

1415
01:06:34,320 --> 01:06:35,760
Speaker 2: what's like our game of the day, or if you want

1416
01:06:35,800 --> 01:06:36,680
Speaker 2: to take us to the schedule.

1417
01:06:37,360 --> 01:06:40,760
Speaker 3: Well, we had all four favorites win on Monday in

1418
01:06:40,840 --> 01:06:44,000
Speaker 3: Day one of the NBA playoffs. So I'm very much

1419
01:06:44,040 --> 01:06:47,480
Speaker 3: looking forward to the Blazers, who have been playing good ball,

1420
01:06:47,880 --> 01:06:50,520
Speaker 3: obviously getting a lot out of Damian Lillard, getting a

1421
01:06:50,520 --> 01:06:53,360
Speaker 3: lot of out of their entire rotation, really going up

1422
01:06:53,400 --> 01:06:56,640
Speaker 3: against a Lakers squad in the final game of the

1423
01:06:56,680 --> 01:06:59,280
Speaker 3: skid on Tuesday and see if they can upset them,

1424
01:06:59,280 --> 01:07:02,800
Speaker 3: because this would be the game to steal from the Lakers.

1425
01:07:02,800 --> 01:07:05,760
Speaker 3: Even though they're six and a half point favorites coming

1426
01:07:05,800 --> 01:07:08,200
Speaker 3: out the gate. The Lakers have not been shooting all

1427
01:07:08,240 --> 01:07:12,880
Speaker 3: that well Lebron despite wearing that beautiful tune squad Jersey,

1428
01:07:12,880 --> 01:07:16,360
Speaker 3: has not been playing to his capabilities, and so this

1429
01:07:16,400 --> 01:07:19,439
Speaker 3: would be the game, right. I'm just looking forward to

1430
01:07:20,120 --> 01:07:25,800
Speaker 3: a potential upset here because this four way quad header here,

1431
01:07:25,880 --> 01:07:29,200
Speaker 3: whatever you want to call it on TNT. You know,

1432
01:07:29,240 --> 01:07:33,320
Speaker 3: you definitely have to favor the favorites. I guess that's

1433
01:07:33,360 --> 01:07:35,880
Speaker 3: why their favorites for a couple of the first games,

1434
01:07:35,920 --> 01:07:39,240
Speaker 3: you know, the Milwaukee game, even the Miami Indiana game,

1435
01:07:39,800 --> 01:07:42,919
Speaker 3: the OKAC Houston game. It's interesting. That's a series we're

1436
01:07:42,960 --> 01:07:45,840
Speaker 3: all looking forward to going long. But Portland, can you

1437
01:07:45,880 --> 01:07:50,440
Speaker 3: come out hot and try and get the Lakers down

1438
01:07:50,520 --> 01:07:53,120
Speaker 3: one because they have to win early in the series,

1439
01:07:53,360 --> 01:07:55,760
Speaker 3: as we talked about, but I doubt it. I think

1440
01:07:56,160 --> 01:07:58,520
Speaker 3: the Blazers offense is going to be or the Blazers

1441
01:07:58,520 --> 01:08:00,760
Speaker 3: defense I should say, is going to allow the Lakers

1442
01:08:00,800 --> 01:08:04,000
Speaker 3: to get hot pretty early and the Lakers still playing

1443
01:08:04,000 --> 01:08:06,120
Speaker 3: good defense in the bubble when they want to, and

1444
01:08:06,160 --> 01:08:09,120
Speaker 3: I think people forget that, so they'll they'll get on Dame.

1445
01:08:09,360 --> 01:08:11,520
Speaker 3: But you know they're gonna miss Avery Bradley. But yeah,

1446
01:08:11,520 --> 01:08:12,440
Speaker 3: that's the one I'm looking at.

1447
01:08:12,640 --> 01:08:20,679
Speaker 2: Well, anybody outscored Donovan Mitchell today, Trey Wow today today, Yeah,

1448
01:08:20,720 --> 01:08:23,400
Speaker 2: today could be a y honest, a hardened you know,

1449
01:08:24,360 --> 01:08:26,880
Speaker 2: a Dame Anthony Davis.

1450
01:08:26,880 --> 01:08:30,280
Speaker 5: Like it's I'm gonna say no, I'm gonna say no,

1451
01:08:30,400 --> 01:08:34,479
Speaker 5: but we're gonna be talking about James Harden possibly getting close.

1452
01:08:34,560 --> 01:08:37,759
Speaker 5: I think lock me in for a twenty something point

1453
01:08:37,800 --> 01:08:41,040
Speaker 5: first half saying oh, could he get Mitchell's record, not record,

1454
01:08:41,040 --> 01:08:45,000
Speaker 5: but could get Mitchell's number, but ultimately falling short. There

1455
01:08:45,000 --> 01:08:47,880
Speaker 5: can't be that many plus fifty six games in like

1456
01:08:47,920 --> 01:08:49,720
Speaker 5: a week. I mean, I guess there can. The gym

1457
01:08:49,720 --> 01:08:53,400
Speaker 5: apparently is a shooter's gym. Yeah, so I don't know.

1458
01:08:53,439 --> 01:08:55,479
Speaker 5: Harden could hit fifteen threes in a game. Next thing,

1459
01:08:55,520 --> 01:08:57,240
Speaker 5: you know, we're talking about him scoring eighty two in

1460
01:08:57,280 --> 01:08:58,479
Speaker 5: a playoff game.

1461
01:08:58,680 --> 01:09:02,400
Speaker 2: Probably probably final thing before we go here, How did

1462
01:09:02,439 --> 01:09:05,400
Speaker 2: you guys tackle yesterday's schedule because we weren't doing the

1463
01:09:05,400 --> 01:09:08,160
Speaker 2: live show after? Did anybody bank games, watch them a

1464
01:09:08,200 --> 01:09:10,519
Speaker 2: little later in half the time maybe this morning? Or

1465
01:09:10,520 --> 01:09:13,080
Speaker 2: did you just sort of power through tasks like with

1466
01:09:13,160 --> 01:09:15,800
Speaker 2: watching all four basically live? What'd you do yesterday or

1467
01:09:15,840 --> 01:09:16,599
Speaker 2: what are you doing today?

1468
01:09:17,680 --> 01:09:19,479
Speaker 3: You want to hear about my kids? I'll tell you

1469
01:09:19,520 --> 01:09:22,800
Speaker 3: about my kids. Everybody cheering about kids because I have

1470
01:09:23,080 --> 01:09:27,040
Speaker 3: a child or two. I banked the third game when

1471
01:09:27,040 --> 01:09:29,599
Speaker 3: it was bedtime, watched the first two live. Third game

1472
01:09:30,040 --> 01:09:33,400
Speaker 3: wasn't able to go live. Yep, you know, drop some

1473
01:09:33,400 --> 01:09:36,760
Speaker 3: some stories through some basketball puns in there, just to

1474
01:09:36,880 --> 01:09:40,840
Speaker 3: entertain myself while the Sixers and Celtics were banking. And

1475
01:09:40,880 --> 01:09:43,840
Speaker 3: then I actually I went to bed after I caught up,

1476
01:09:44,160 --> 01:09:47,280
Speaker 3: watched the first half of the Clippers MAVs and went

1477
01:09:47,320 --> 01:09:47,719
Speaker 3: to bed.

1478
01:09:47,880 --> 01:09:50,400
Speaker 2: Oh wow, you did that the classic move caught the

1479
01:09:50,400 --> 01:09:51,560
Speaker 2: second half this morning? Did you?

1480
01:09:52,320 --> 01:09:54,360
Speaker 3: I did it. Did Don't know how I feel about it.

1481
01:09:54,360 --> 01:09:57,479
Speaker 3: It's hard. It's like doing a show at night. You're pumped,

1482
01:09:57,520 --> 01:10:00,160
Speaker 3: you're amp. It's hard to just turn it off as

1483
01:10:00,160 --> 01:10:02,479
Speaker 3: soon as it hits buzzer in the second quarter and

1484
01:10:02,600 --> 01:10:06,120
Speaker 3: just go it's it's you're just too amped. But I

1485
01:10:06,160 --> 01:10:06,519
Speaker 3: did it.

1486
01:10:06,640 --> 01:10:09,439
Speaker 2: I did that last night. I love these nine o'clock

1487
01:10:09,479 --> 01:10:11,800
Speaker 2: starts for the East, for the East Coast because, like

1488
01:10:12,240 --> 01:10:14,400
Speaker 2: you know, we generally get like the ten o'clock starts,

1489
01:10:14,520 --> 01:10:17,120
Speaker 2: and then you're up super late for that final game,

1490
01:10:17,479 --> 01:10:19,960
Speaker 2: but you know, the thing's done in three hours. You

1491
01:10:20,000 --> 01:10:21,800
Speaker 2: go into bed by midnight. So it's not too bad,

1492
01:10:21,840 --> 01:10:23,759
Speaker 2: and that game was entertaining and we had the drama

1493
01:10:23,800 --> 01:10:26,280
Speaker 2: of obviously Porzinga, So I stayed up for that one

1494
01:10:26,320 --> 01:10:26,920
Speaker 2: there last night.

1495
01:10:26,960 --> 01:10:30,080
Speaker 5: There's right, come on, guys, that's day one of the playoffs.

1496
01:10:30,120 --> 01:10:32,360
Speaker 5: It's day one of the playoffs. You're tired already after

1497
01:10:32,479 --> 01:10:35,519
Speaker 5: one day of a full playoff schedule.

1498
01:10:35,560 --> 01:10:37,560
Speaker 2: But you know what doesn't feel like day one in

1499
01:10:37,640 --> 01:10:41,320
Speaker 2: the playoffs. That's the weird thing because all those bubble

1500
01:10:41,520 --> 01:10:44,040
Speaker 2: days were you know, four games on all day, if

1501
01:10:44,040 --> 01:10:46,040
Speaker 2: not more, there was like six seven games on all

1502
01:10:46,120 --> 01:10:48,439
Speaker 2: day that like felt like playoffs every day, even though

1503
01:10:48,439 --> 01:10:50,240
Speaker 2: the stakes weren't as high. So it feels like we're

1504
01:10:50,240 --> 01:10:52,080
Speaker 2: already two weeks plus into the playoffs.

1505
01:10:52,160 --> 01:10:54,519
Speaker 5: Yeah, you can't deny that, And I wonder, I honestly

1506
01:10:54,600 --> 01:10:57,080
Speaker 5: wonder if that's maybe part of the reason Porzingis got

1507
01:10:57,080 --> 01:10:59,719
Speaker 5: ejected was that the referees forgot that they were refereeing

1508
01:10:59,720 --> 01:11:02,120
Speaker 5: playing off games. Because I have to keep reminding myself, right,

1509
01:11:02,200 --> 01:11:05,800
Speaker 5: the games look and feel the exact same, So maybe

1510
01:11:05,800 --> 01:11:08,320
Speaker 5: they forgot that we should keep the best players in

1511
01:11:08,360 --> 01:11:10,400
Speaker 5: the game for when it really matters. But I was

1512
01:11:10,439 --> 01:11:12,439
Speaker 5: in all the way straight through. I was to me

1513
01:11:12,479 --> 01:11:14,640
Speaker 5: it was the first Saturday of the playoffs. It just

1514
01:11:14,640 --> 01:11:15,679
Speaker 5: happened to come on a Monday.

1515
