Speaker 2: us live on YouTube. Hello to all our podcast listeners.

25
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,040
Speaker 2: Leave your boys a five star rating and review. Let's

26
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:22,480
Speaker 2: jump right into the game. Let's do it. Yes, let's

27
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 2: do it, because the Boston Celtics have taken firm command

28
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 2: of the NBA Finals on Sunday night with the one

29
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 2: oh five ninety eight victory in Game two. Drew Holiday

30
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 2: led the way with twenty six points and eleven rebounds.

31
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 2: Tatum flirted with a triple double. Jaeleen Brown pretty good

32
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:42,399
Speaker 2: on both sides of the ball. It was closer than

33
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:45,039
Speaker 2: Game one, but Boston's up two to oh heading back

34
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 2: to Dallas. We don't get game three until Wednesday night.

35
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 2: But t K, let's start with you. What was your

36
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 2: big takeaway from the Celtics now improving to fourteen and

37
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 2: two in the playoffs.

38
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 5: And what nine straight with Al Horford as your starting center,

39
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 5: which may be the case go into game three? We

40
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 5: shall see. Do people still call people Johnny on the Spot?

41
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:05,279
Speaker 2: Yeah?

42
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 5: Okay, Drew Holliday was Johnny on the Spot last night.

43
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 5: I thought he was phenomenal to me. He gets the

44
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 5: game ball for the Celtics because he was great defensively,

45
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 5: as he always is, very strong, made a whole bunch

46
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 5: of plays. But man, it felt all night like Drew

47
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 5: Holliday was in the right place at the right time,

48
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 5: oftentimes finishing with a right handed layup. The guy had

49
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:29,359
Speaker 5: nine dunks or layups in Game two, a lot of

50
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 5: these coming off Jason Tatum passes. I think two of

51
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:33,679
Speaker 5: them were left hand and finishes. All the rest were

52
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:36,800
Speaker 5: like cuts at the very last second to bail the

53
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 5: Celtics out of a possession. Credit to Tatum keeping his dribble,

54
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 5: staying patient, waiting for plays to develop. But there were

55
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 5: just so many big Drew Holiday plays where it seemed

56
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,639
Speaker 5: like the Celtics were going nowhere. How about a misshot

57
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,079
Speaker 5: He grabs the offensive rebound, an easy dish to Tatum

58
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:55,799
Speaker 5: underneath for a layup. Tatum doubled in the post, looks

59
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,639
Speaker 5: like he's got nowhere to go. Suddenly Drew Holiday flashes

60
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 5: down the lane for an easy right handed layup. He

61
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 5: ended up having an incredible game last night, twenty six points,

62
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 5: eleven rebounds. He went eleven to fourteen from the field,

63
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,800
Speaker 5: and like I said, it was all baskets in the

64
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 5: paint in the restricted area. I thought he was awesome.

65
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 5: Tatum brought it. The MAVs defense was better, the Celtics

66
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 5: defense was better. Nobody could make a three pointer. A

67
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:24,080
Speaker 5: very weird game. Definitely feels like a game that Dallas

68
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,959
Speaker 5: needed to steal if they were gonna win this championship.

69
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 5: But I was so impressed by the way the Celtics

70
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 5: won the game, and with in particular, my guy Johnny

71
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 5: on the spot.

72
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 4: Johnny had eleven baskets, six of them were assisted by Tatum.

73
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 4: Tatum was finding him. But Dallas just missed their opportunity

74
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 4: to steal a game in this one because they came

75
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 4: out great. They came out with the great defense of

76
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 4: limiting the Celtics three point shots, which killed them in

77
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 4: Game one. They won that first quarter, and it was

78
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 4: in the second quarter when Luca was finding guys beyond

79
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 4: the three point line, but they just couldn't hit shots. Look,

80
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 4: I know blamed himself after this game, saying I got

81
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 4: to hit more free throws. He was four of eight

82
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 4: from the free throw line. He had eight turnovers, so

83
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 4: he's blaming himself, But really he just needed somebody to

84
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 4: step up. A little bit more, and that second quarter

85
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 4: when they had the momentum in Boston, he was making

86
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:17,839
Speaker 4: some beautiful passes. He got to the baseline and zipped

87
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 4: one way above the break for a PJ Washington miss three,

88
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 4: and then he was finding Josh Green corner you shoot it. Miss.

89
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 4: Another went to Josh Green, miss to Djjay miss. So

90
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 4: the bost Celtics just got the momentum going. They won

91
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:37,159
Speaker 4: that second quarter when really they just needed somebody besides Luca.

92
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:41,280
Speaker 4: Besides Luca, they were two of seventeen from three point land.

93
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 4: That just doesn't cut it. Dante Exon was one of

94
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 4: those threes that guy gets minutes and he hit one

95
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 4: of those threes. Someone else just needed to step up

96
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 4: because Luca was awesome at half. He was outscoring Tatum

97
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 4: and Brown on his own, you know, twenty three to

98
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:58,039
Speaker 4: thirteen at half. And then slowly the Celtics got momentum.

99
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 4: But they shot six to thirty from three after three quarters.

100
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,479
Speaker 4: One was a bomb from Peyton Pritchard at the end

101
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 4: of the third quarter, and then Derek Brown, who's Derek Brown,

102
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 4: Derek White, who's shooting two of seven from three point

103
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 4: line at the time. He just chucked one at the

104
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 4: end of the shot clock. Yes, they were finding the

105
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 4: end of the day, but they just they didn't have

106
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:21,720
Speaker 4: the momentum and Luca just needed somebody, somebody to help him.

107
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,280
Speaker 4: And I know Tatum was awesome at setting guys up.

108
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 4: He was good, but he shot six of twenty two

109
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 4: and this game literally singsty hitter, and he had a

110
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 4: rough night shooting. In the fourth quarter when they had

111
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 4: a four on one, he was shooting five to sixteen. They

112
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:36,919
Speaker 4: had a four and one, he got the lead pass

113
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 4: and if Tatum was angry or looking for himself, he

114
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 4: would have scored, He would have tried to score, but

115
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 4: he was a jump touch pass as the ball was

116
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,040
Speaker 4: going to Jalen Brown to score on that four on one.

117
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 4: So I guess Jason kids saying that Jalen Brown was

118
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 4: their best player didn't work in this game because those

119
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,039
Speaker 4: guys passed the Jay's Jalen Brown and Jayson Data at

120
00:05:55,120 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 4: nineteen assists, that's two fewers than Dallas' entire team. They

121
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 4: had just enough of those guys, as you said, Holiday

122
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 4: was freaking awesome, just enough of those guys like Pertchard bombed.

123
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,160
Speaker 4: These guys were just bombing shots. And they're kind of

124
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,280
Speaker 4: lucky in the end, oh get victory.

125
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 2: Well, if you're a Mavericks fan, you are, I'm with

126
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:14,719
Speaker 2: you one hundred percent disappointed because when you were going

127
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 2: through the checklist of this series, you felt like, for

128
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 2: Dallas to win the championship, one of the games, maybe two,

129
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:23,040
Speaker 2: but one of them is specifically had to be a

130
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,160
Speaker 2: game where the Celtics couldn't shoot for three. We see

131
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 2: that variants from time to time. Some games are on

132
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 2: they can't miss. Other games they go ten for thirty

133
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 2: nine from three and they still won it. That has

134
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 2: to be the game Dallas wins and they're even worse

135
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 2: from three, and a lot of those were you know,

136
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,719
Speaker 2: Derreck Jones Junior, he's ice cool. PJ. Washington can hit

137
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:42,360
Speaker 2: a three, did some other good things in this game.

138
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:44,719
Speaker 2: But we can maybe get into you said Green, You know, yeah,

139
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 2: they're trying. He's trying to find anyone ex them, get

140
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 2: out there, try and bang one in Cleveland. He's afraid

141
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 2: to shoot it. Still like, yeah, yeah, this was the

142
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:53,039
Speaker 2: one when you said, Okay, there'll be one game where

143
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:55,840
Speaker 2: busting really really sucks from distance, and you got to

144
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:57,679
Speaker 2: get that one. If you're gonna win, you know, eventually,

145
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 2: four of these to get the chip is.

146
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:03,600
Speaker 5: A bad percentage. And they still shot Dallas and more importantly,

147
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:05,839
Speaker 5: the Celtics got up thirty nine attempts and the MAVs

148
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:08,280
Speaker 5: only got up twenty six attempts. Boston still played their game,

149
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 5: they just missed the whole bunch of shots until the

150
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 5: fourth quarter they went four for nine. Because they're playing

151
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 5: in rhythm, they're used to the shots they're getting. I

152
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 5: thought Derek White was kind of indicative of that. What

153
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 5: a weird game for him, four for ten from three

154
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 5: He had four shots. The ones that he made like

155
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 5: zero thought at all, Like clock's running down, you got

156
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 5: to chuck it up and knock it, make the shot

157
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 5: or a kick to the corner. No time to waste,

158
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 5: just get it up. And if he had a chance

159
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 5: to look at it, he only hit glass No. Rim.

160
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 5: Four for ten, four makes, six awful misses. It was

161
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 5: a weird game. Meanwhile, that still was forty six percent

162
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 5: of the shots for the Celtics. They want to get

163
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 5: up a ton of threes. The Mavericks only got up

164
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 5: twenty six three point attempts, only four came from the corners.

165
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 5: They had three attempts from the corners in game one,

166
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 5: and you mentioned Skeets. All of these MAVs role players

167
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 5: who were great against the Timberwolves, they're scared to shoot

168
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 5: right now. Derrek Jones Junior won't take an open one,

169
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 5: and if he does, he's gonna miss. Oh for three.

170
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 5: Kleba oh for two, doesn't want to shoot zero for three.

171
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 5: He doesn't want to shoot. It's Luca that can make

172
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 5: him right now, because Kyrie hasn't really had an impact

173
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 5: on this series. So for Boston to win a game

174
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 5: where they're blowing it in the clutch, they gave up

175
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 5: a nine row oh run in the last three minutes

176
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 5: of the game, they shot ten for thirty nine from three.

177
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 5: That's a game that the Mavericks have to win because

178
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 5: now they got to beat Boston four times out of five.

179
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, the momentum just Boston got it very slowly. It

180
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 4: didn't just happen to them. Dallas was doing so great,

181
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 4: and as you said, they're six of thirty through three

182
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,440
Speaker 4: quarters from the three point line. That is not good.

183
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 4: But as the game went on, they hit some shots

184
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:38,080
Speaker 4: and had a good fourth quarter and the MAVs just

185
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 4: needed somebody for Luca because Kyrie had ten points at half,

186
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:45,200
Speaker 4: and that's fine. You know, these guys, they were absolutely

187
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 4: destroying the Jays, the Jason Tatum and Jaln Brown from

188
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 4: Luca and Kyrie outscoring them thirty three to thirteen at half.

189
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 4: But then Kyrie just got ice cold in the second half.

190
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 4: I mean he was trying, he was desperately trying to

191
00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 4: He pulled a sham god dribble on Chris Porzingis' Houseporzingis

192
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 4: came out of him. We stepped back on him, but

193
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 4: he missed the three. He only had six after the half.

194
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,560
Speaker 4: He just needed some guy not named Luca, and Luca

195
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:09,600
Speaker 4: can blame himself, but how perfect do you need him

196
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 4: to be? He was thirty two, eleven and eleven and

197
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 4: a couple of those turnovers.

198
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, he threw one up to some sloppy ass turnover threw.

199
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 4: Like I thought it was going to hit the rafters

200
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 4: straight up. Yeah. But that eighth one, I think it

201
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 4: was the eighth one where they didn't cross half court.

202
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 4: Oh that was that was? That was PJ passed it

203
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:33,199
Speaker 4: to Gafford. He's like in front of you and he's

204
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 4: on the other side of the half line. Why are

205
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 4: you passing it back? So he shouldn't have had eight,

206
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:38,680
Speaker 4: he should have had seven, But.

207
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:41,720
Speaker 2: I well, that sort of I mean credit to Drew

208
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 2: also on that play. It was a dumb PJ. Washington,

209
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:47,199
Speaker 2: boneheaded decision, like right at half court to suddenly like

210
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 2: panic and like try and throw it back to Luca.

211
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:51,319
Speaker 2: But that was with four fifteen to go. That was

212
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 2: the near steel By Holiday. Then Derek White picks the

213
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 2: Luca pass. That's the turnover there. Then it you know,

214
00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,319
Speaker 2: he saves it while he's going out of bounds and

215
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 2: he finds his way back to Drew Holliday and he

216
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:04,320
Speaker 2: cashed in that three that put the Celtics up eleven.

217
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 2: Then White hit another three. I mean, I think everybody

218
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 2: thought the game was over at that point. Okay, I

219
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:11,679
Speaker 2: mean that's it. That's fourteen. There's not that many much

220
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 2: time left. But then yeah, the MAVs rip off the

221
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 2: nine ozer run and then we get into the controversial

222
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:20,440
Speaker 2: no call of it's a five point game. The MAVs

223
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 2: get a stop, they're going in transition. I think Kyrie

224
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:26,680
Speaker 2: kicks it ahead to PJ. Washington. Celtics are hustling back

225
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:29,720
Speaker 2: and Jalen Brown gets a little hand in the back

226
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:33,079
Speaker 2: of PJ Washington, and here comes Derek White screaming from

227
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 2: the other side and makes a play on the ball.

228
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:38,199
Speaker 2: Maybe some risks, maybe some hand. Anyway, it's called a

229
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 2: block and it was a huge play. I mean, obviously,

230
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 2: if a fouls called. PJ. Washington was the one guy

231
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 2: for the Dallas Mavericks that could actually hit free throws

232
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 2: in this game, maybe goes and maybe hits both of

233
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 2: them at least one. It's a three or four point

234
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 2: game with what like under a minute to go, and

235
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:55,199
Speaker 2: maybe you know, we get another possession there where the

236
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 2: Celtics can't generate it. Who knows, but that was a

237
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 2: huge play. I think we have that clip, yeah, because

238
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:02,439
Speaker 2: that's what you know. A lot of Maverick spans was like,

239
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:04,559
Speaker 2: what the hell he push him in the back, and

240
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 2: TK you always bring this up, that slight little nudge

241
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 2: to the back. It doesn't take much to warrant a

242
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:12,960
Speaker 2: foul usually, but it wasn't called here.

243
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:16,720
Speaker 5: That's a I think that's a foul in every game

244
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 5: up until this week, probably a conference finals. Folf were

245
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:22,319
Speaker 5: being honest, and you're right, it should have been called

246
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 5: a foul. And the MAVs should have gone to the

247
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:25,839
Speaker 5: free throw line, and that would have put the pressure

248
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 5: on the Celtics to actually get a good shot when

249
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:30,079
Speaker 5: they weren't getting good shots in the final minute of

250
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 5: this game. So, uh, a tough nine call definitely for Dallas,

251
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 5: but also an incredible block by Derek White to get back.

252
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,079
Speaker 4: In this play. It is so weird looking at it

253
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:42,559
Speaker 4: multiple times because PJ. Washington, Yeah, he's blocked by Derek Brown,

254
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 4: but he kind of just hits the front rim at first.

255
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 4: Derek Brown, Derek Brown, I'm sorry, Yeah, on that play,

256
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 4: you can actually it was Derek Brown combo, and that's

257
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 4: maybe what Bill conne Kennedy was doing. Maybe he was

258
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 4: pulling a tast melts and saying, hey, that's Derek Brown.

259
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:59,320
Speaker 4: But but there's two guys there, so maybe he's looking

260
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 4: at Derek come back for the block attempt and doesn't

261
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 4: see Jalen Brown's hand in his lower back there. But PJ.

262
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:10,559
Speaker 4: Washington basically hits the front rim and because he's pushed

263
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 4: in the back, and I don't even know if Derek

264
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:14,319
Speaker 4: White really blocked the ball, But in the end, I

265
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:16,719
Speaker 4: don't know if it's Bill Kennedy wasn't looking at it

266
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 4: because I think he's the one who should have called it.

267
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 4: But this is an opportunity for Dallas to use their challenge.

268
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 4: I know there was nothing called on the play first,

269
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 4: yeah right away.

270
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:31,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, ironically PJ Washington fouling Derek White, that's.

271
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:32,839
Speaker 4: Right, And that wasn't a good play. That was not

272
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 4: a good time to use it because Boston in the game,

273
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 4: and Boston would have got the ball again because they

274
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:40,199
Speaker 4: got the ball after the play, So Boston would have

275
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 4: got the ball no matter what the challenge was, if

276
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 4: it was a win or loss. So Jason Kidd lost

277
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:47,560
Speaker 4: that opportunity to use it there. I guess he could

278
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 4: have used it because there was no nothing called.

279
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:52,959
Speaker 2: No, he is a challenge, No play just went on.

280
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:53,959
Speaker 2: You can't go back.

281
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 4: He should have Yeah, yeah, I guess. I guess. So

282
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:58,839
Speaker 4: I mean call it time. Yeah, you can't do it anything.

283
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 5: It was a pretty physico game, I thought, and I

284
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 5: kind of felt like that favored the Celtics because to me,

285
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 5: the Mavericks defense. Both teams played really hard defensively and

286
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 5: did a pretty solid job defensively, but to me, it

287
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 5: was like the Mavericks were a little bit over the

288
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:16,439
Speaker 5: line aggressiveness wise, and it was kind of taking them

289
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:19,600
Speaker 5: out of their game. Like Derek Lively, he's just given

290
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 5: a little bit too much effort right now. He's not

291
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:24,720
Speaker 5: playing within himself. Meanwhile, Boston is just making play after play.

292
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:28,720
Speaker 5: The Celtics shot twenty free throws, nineteen of twenty at

293
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 5: the line. That was huge, But more importantly, Boston had

294
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:35,319
Speaker 5: fifteen stocks, Dallas had eight. The Celtics. They're holding the

295
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 5: Mavericks to one hundred and one points per one hundred

296
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:39,080
Speaker 5: possesions here. This would be the worst during the regular

297
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:41,599
Speaker 5: season for an entire season, worse than the playoffs. So

298
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 5: their offense is doing enough that they can survive a

299
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 5: ten for thirty nine shooting night because they make so

300
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 5: many plays defensively. Like the question as always, are the

301
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 5: Celtics gonna hit enough threes? Are they going to be

302
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 5: able to actually make their shots? Sometimes it doesn't matter

303
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:54,720
Speaker 5: because they're not given up one hundred in these games

304
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 5: against the Mavericks.

305
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:59,439
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, for sure. Dallas was trying and it's fun

306
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:02,679
Speaker 4: as a basket to see this team who lost the

307
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:04,840
Speaker 4: momentum in this game to come back there and May

308
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 4: got a five point game and almost make it a

309
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:08,840
Speaker 4: three point game. So it was fun in that way

310
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 4: because they were trying at the beginning to limit the

311
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:14,679
Speaker 4: Boston Celtics three point shots and it was working. Game one,

312
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:18,839
Speaker 4: quarter one. Boston had fifteen three point shot attempts in

313
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 4: this game. It took him a whole half to get

314
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 4: there because Dallas was just taking those away, but they

315
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:29,800
Speaker 4: did make some some boners. Derek Lively, he was trying,

316
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 4: he was trying, he's trying. Got he got an offensive rebound? Yeah, yeah, yeah,

317
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 4: he was The lights were too bright, right. There was

318
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 4: that play where he got that offensive rebound and there

319
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 4: was somebody there in front of it. I think it

320
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 4: was Derek Jones Junior, PJ. Washington, somebody he could easily

321
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 4: just drop it off, but he kind of just went

322
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 4: for another attempt and then he was sort of out

323
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 4: of bound, so he chucked it and it was basically

324
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 4: an outlet pass to Jaylen Brown to look awesome. Who's

325
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 4: had two awesome dunks passed Luca in this series, and

326
00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 4: that was one of the Derek Lively set that second

327
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 4: one up, so.

328
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 2: He also got away. He should have got called for

329
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 2: another traveling where he was his feet were going crazy.

330
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 5: It's like do what do you do?

331
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 2: And he's just panicking in probably on the road in

332
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 2: the finals, in these big, big situations here with the

333
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 2: bright lights. But he's a rook he's sort of expected.

334
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's had one roll dunk in through two games,

335
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 4: like where he you know that play that everyone was

336
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 4: thinking about, Oh, maybe they'll get the pick and rolls.

337
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 4: He got a double, Luca and it happened once he

338
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 4: got one. That's it. That's he hasn't been himself.

339
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 2: It is crazy here too when you look through you know,

340
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 2: Drew Holly the best player last night in Game two

341
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:34,080
Speaker 2: for the Celtics. But Tatum another rough shooting night. He

342
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 2: had the twelve assist though he had the nine boards,

343
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 2: you know. Jalen Brown good, like I said, balanced effort,

344
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:42,680
Speaker 2: you know, three steals, another big dunk, but he had

345
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 2: twenty one points. Didn't shoot all that well. Derek White

346
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:47,960
Speaker 2: eighteen points. He had his defense. Peton Pritchard's only basket

347
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 2: of the game, like you said, banked in from half

348
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 2: court basically just over half court to beat the buzzer

349
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 2: at the end of the third and still to pull

350
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 2: out the victory. Is it's a pretty special team, and

351
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 2: it was really funny on the heels of Saturday's Jason

352
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 2: Kidds you know, press conference where he's trying to, like,

353
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 2: I guess, throw a little smoke bomb into the Celtics

354
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 2: locker room, an attempt I guess saying, Hey, Jaylen Brown's

355
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 2: the best player on the Celtics team. You know, he's

356
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:17,160
Speaker 2: an All Star. You've got an All NBA guy in Tatum.

357
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 2: You know, I don't think he's been wrong for this

358
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 2: series and maybe even the postseason. Jayalen Brown has been

359
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 2: maybe not in the scope of their careers, but anyway,

360
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 2: it didn't work and they just played as a great

361
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 2: as the team still on enough contributions from.

362
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 5: Everybody, and I mean Tatum's the guy they're double teaming,

363
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 5: that's right. You know. The playmaking was great from Tatum

364
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 5: last night, Like you mentioned, twelve assists, and the reason

365
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 5: he got those Assistan is because he beat his man

366
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 5: off the dribble basically every single time he had the ball.

367
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 5: And then there was just a guy waiting for him

368
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 5: at the rim. But Drew Holliday was hanging out in

369
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:49,040
Speaker 5: the dunker spot all night. Yep, Tatum assisted on six

370
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 5: half court laps and it was just I'll beat Luca

371
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 5: off the dribble, I'll beat Derek Lively off the dribble,

372
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 5: and then there's no rim protection there. So Tatum, despite

373
00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 5: the fact that he hasn't had a good shooting game,

374
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 5: good scoring game yet the series, is finding other ways

375
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 5: to contribute like a best player could.

376
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:06,879
Speaker 2: And especially I think when you compare it to the

377
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 2: second okay, whatever one two, Jaylen Brown, Jason Tatum. Yes,

378
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 2: Then on the other side, Dallas Luke is doing his part.

379
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 2: You know, he's been sloppy. He's getting cooked defensively, that's

380
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:18,679
Speaker 2: still an issue and it wasn't this game, but obviously

381
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:21,159
Speaker 2: contributing and scoring and stuff like that, hitting tough shots.

382
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:25,360
Speaker 2: Kyrie though, he's just doing nothing because if he's not scoring,

383
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:27,159
Speaker 2: it's not like he's doing these other things that sort

384
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 2: of Tatum at least is still doing for Boston. He

385
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:31,680
Speaker 2: is seventeenth eighteen. In Game two, he was two of

386
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:34,639
Speaker 2: eight and the second half Kyrie was We were wondering

387
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:36,680
Speaker 2: if he was the second best player in the series. Oh,

388
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:38,679
Speaker 2: maybe third. I'm not sure you could say he's been

389
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:41,560
Speaker 2: the seventh best player in the series.

390
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 5: Him in PJ Washington for se it's down there.

391
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 2: It's it's pretty low because he's thirteen to thirty seven

392
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 2: from the floor, oh of eight from deep. Eight assists

393
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:54,119
Speaker 2: total over two games. It will not cut it. Tasks

394
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 2: and I don't know what you saw. I mean a

395
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 2: lot of this is awesome, awesome perimeter defense. I mean

396
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:01,280
Speaker 2: they can, they're physical, they're fast. We're talking about Drew

397
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:03,640
Speaker 2: and White and everybody they throw on him. There's very

398
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 2: tight windows. But you know, he just can't get any

399
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:10,159
Speaker 2: rhythm going. He can maybe he started okay and then

400
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:11,920
Speaker 2: it got bad in a hurry. Yeah, and then he

401
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 2: was forcing it. If I'm being honest.

402
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's missing open shots too. He just wasn't in

403
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:19,440
Speaker 4: a flow. He couldn't get that rhythm. They're going to

404
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 4: at Derek White right from their get go Luca Switch

405
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:26,360
Speaker 4: gets Derek White, or go at him. Kyrie Switch gets

406
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 4: Derek White, go at him. They scored both times. Derek

407
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:33,359
Speaker 4: White was able to recover with with monster blocks and Kyrie.

408
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 4: As I said, you know, he tried to pull the

409
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 4: sham gun on Porsenkas. He just couldn't get in a flow.

410
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:39,359
Speaker 4: He was just missing shots. I don't know about the

411
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:42,120
Speaker 4: method that he used. Pregame. He didn't even go through

412
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:45,399
Speaker 4: the intros pre game. He you know how you know,

413
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 4: you're sitting on the bench, Kyrie Amy and you go,

414
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:50,119
Speaker 4: you go high five everybody. He went to the end

415
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 4: of it. He didn't even sit on the bench. He

416
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,080
Speaker 4: just sat there. So there's he was trying to he

417
00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:55,239
Speaker 4: was trying to think about it. And he was good

418
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:58,920
Speaker 4: in the first half. He scored ten. He was fine. Yeah,

419
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,920
Speaker 4: what is there to say is it is weird because

420
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 4: there's so much responsibility for a second guy on this

421
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:08,920
Speaker 4: team because you're supporting guys just aren't going to be

422
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:11,440
Speaker 4: great enough, so you need more. Even though Luca was

423
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 4: doing his thing, you need Kyrie to be good, and

424
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 4: he just was not.

425
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 2: He knows that. He said after the game, a little

426
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 2: disappointed in myself not being able to convert a lot

427
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 2: more of my opportunities in the lane, and he was

428
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 2: specifically talking about getting in there. He's still it's Kyrie,

429
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 2: He's still a wizard. You can get by guys, or

430
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 2: at least, you know, maybe not the angle he wants.

431
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:34,960
Speaker 2: And he had a couple of nice finishes, but like overall, Trey,

432
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 2: he's just he is struggling to finish the play, and

433
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:40,080
Speaker 2: he's missing more times than not, and it's not helping

434
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 2: that the three is not falling for him or anyone

435
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:42,680
Speaker 2: besides Luca.

436
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:42,880
Speaker 4: Really.

437
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:45,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, the Celtics are getting more and more comfortable helping

438
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:49,640
Speaker 5: off the non shooters from the MAVs, so they're trying

439
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 5: to make Kyrie and Luca play one on one. They're

440
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 5: doing a really good job, and then it's like, okay,

441
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:55,440
Speaker 5: now you have to make a really tough shot over

442
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:57,120
Speaker 5: one of our guys, all of which who are bigger

443
00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:58,639
Speaker 5: than you. Yeah, that's the other part of it. The

444
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:02,359
Speaker 5: size seems to be mattering versus Kyri for Kyrie irving here,

445
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:05,119
Speaker 5: so I don't know, he's got to start playmaking a

446
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 5: little bit, I think. But the passes aren't there because

447
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 5: the Celtics are like, fine, you want to kick it

448
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:11,400
Speaker 5: out to Derek Jones Junior. He's just gonna pump, fake

449
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 5: and drive into ten guys.

450
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:16,000
Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, And Derek White was able to get some

451
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 4: retribution for them going at him. He was able to

452
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 4: block Kyrie and then maybe threw him off like that

453
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 4: was a great block. That was the one where he

454
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 4: trailed to play. He trailed. Kyrine was able to get

455
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:30,720
Speaker 4: back and jump and make an awesome block. But even

456
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:32,719
Speaker 4: on the defensive end, they're going at Kyrie a little bit.

457
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 4: They set multiple picks, they said, a double pick to

458
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:38,760
Speaker 4: be able to go at Kyrie, where Jaylen Brown was

459
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 4: able to score on him. So that's yeah, there's not enough.

460
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:44,200
Speaker 4: It's just not enough from Kyrie.

461
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 2: Unfortunately, NBA Finals MVP through two games.

462
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 4: Because this is a great question.

463
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:51,520
Speaker 5: Who do you have?

464
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:53,719
Speaker 2: I know we have the odds up here from bed MGM.

465
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:57,200
Speaker 2: Tatum is still the favorite, which is a little surprising

466
00:20:57,240 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 2: to me. He's plus one hundred Brown plus one eighty five.

467
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 2: Luca got to be included. Of course, if Dallas you know,

468
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:04,760
Speaker 2: comes back or makes this a series plus six fifty

469
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:08,680
Speaker 2: and then Drew Holiday is improved two plus eight fifty,

470
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:14,520
Speaker 2: what was he to start plus the six sixty sixty.

471
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:17,320
Speaker 4: Hundred and as Trey said, Jason Tatum acted like the

472
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 4: best player out there by setting guys up.

473
00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 2: But he wouldn't be your Finals MVP. I don't know

474
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:24,720
Speaker 2: if you had a vote, you would vote for him.

475
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:28,159
Speaker 4: I would not. It's easily Jayalen Brown. To me, I

476
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:32,120
Speaker 4: think he's got the highlights, the plays that you remember

477
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 4: you know that monstrous dunk of going by Luca and

478
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:38,920
Speaker 4: then a huge peel back. He cocked it in game one,

479
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:40,720
Speaker 4: and then he had a second one where he went

480
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:42,640
Speaker 4: by Luca in game two. He's got that and he's

481
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:45,200
Speaker 4: got the points total. He's got more points. I know

482
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:49,400
Speaker 4: people may say, oh, Drew Holiday, but you know through

483
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 4: through eight you could, you could.

484
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:53,119
Speaker 5: Yeah, I would say five to four vote right now

485
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:56,399
Speaker 5: Jalen Brown and Drew Holliday. Yeah, we'll see who.

486
00:21:56,600 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 4: You know, we'll goes. No, I think there would be some.

487
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 5: He had a great game too. He had a good

488
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 5: game too. He's not shot six for.

489
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 4: Twenty shot six for.

490
00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 5: He can't score right now, but he's doing literally everything else.

491
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:15,720
Speaker 4: Yeah. Drellada is now averaging nineteen nine and a half boards,

492
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 4: four assists, and one steal through two games. Very good.

493
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 2: It feels almost done a good job of, you know,

494
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 2: taking away Kyrie ring for a majority of the series.

495
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:27,520
Speaker 4: Yes, absolutely, Yeah, It's it's a tough one to me.

496
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:29,720
Speaker 4: It feels a little like when the Lakers won in

497
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 4: twenty twenty. Through two games, we were all giving it

498
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:34,879
Speaker 4: to Anthony Davis. This is you're my man. He deserved it,

499
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:38,840
Speaker 4: but Lebron ended up winning it, and it feels like, yeah,

500
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 4: this one's a little different because there's two guys that

501
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:44,760
Speaker 4: aren't Lebron James. You know, there's there's a second guy

502
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 4: and a third guy with Jaylen Brown and Drew Holliday

503
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:48,359
Speaker 4: and Jason Tatum just hasn't been able to score. That

504
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:52,399
Speaker 4: play where Jason Tatum literally tried to dunk from the

505
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:54,400
Speaker 4: side of the net, like he was in the fourth quarter.

506
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:56,480
Speaker 4: He was just trying to dunk everything or trying to

507
00:22:56,520 --> 00:23:00,680
Speaker 4: do everything. He literally put it off the side of

508
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 4: the rint if you remember that, Like he tried he

509
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 4: tried to dunk it from the side. He was so

510
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:06,159
Speaker 4: far away from it.

511
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 2: Was like, shooting's not working.

512
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 4: So try and dunke it to try anything.

513
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:15,000
Speaker 5: The last two shot attempts were miss dunks. That's the

514
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 5: thing with Tatum, like he's playing okay games and it's

515
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 5: not really mattering because yeah, there's such a good Celtics

516
00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:24,080
Speaker 5: still have the best player in the series. You're still going,

517
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 5: like Luca had an awesome game, he was kind of sloppy.

518
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 5: I thought in the second half. He hasn't been the

519
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 5: best player in this series necessarily. I don't think he

520
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:33,680
Speaker 5: would probably say it's a toss up between Brown Andrew Holliday,

521
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 5: even though Tatum is the guy who's got the rep

522
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:38,200
Speaker 5: here so he can have an okay game and the

523
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 5: Celtics are still cruising.

524
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 2: I hope we still have a long series, though it's

525
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:44,080
Speaker 2: looking like, you know, this could get into a gentleman's

526
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:46,720
Speaker 2: sweep territory or whatever. Maybe you even are convinced that

527
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:48,960
Speaker 2: the Celtics are just clearly better and they can sweep

528
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,119
Speaker 2: this thing. Hey, I hope it's long because we want

529
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:53,480
Speaker 2: more basketball, But it is funny that we could have

530
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:59,679
Speaker 2: the Celtics winning a championship and somehow Tatum's like reputation

531
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:03,040
Speaker 2: being tarnished, Like this is what the weird thing going on.

532
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:05,399
Speaker 2: And I know Celtics fans don't think that. Maybe smart

533
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:07,439
Speaker 2: basketball fans are watching the game seeing all the other

534
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 2: things he's doing, but you know, the casual or the

535
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:12,440
Speaker 2: people that already hate Tatum or hate the Celtics, like

536
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:14,800
Speaker 2: it's weird that this is sort of unfolding that way,

537
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 2: he could win the championship finally get over that hump.

538
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:20,400
Speaker 2: But if he has let's say another dud, maybe one

539
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:25,200
Speaker 2: really bad more game, people are like completely undeserved. He's

540
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:27,280
Speaker 2: not that good. It's like, hold on, but he just

541
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 2: won the championship. That's what's happening right now, which is

542
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:31,240
Speaker 2: just a weird scenario.

543
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 5: He'll take it.

544
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:34,119
Speaker 2: He'll take it.

545
00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:36,080
Speaker 5: He'll take it. Yeah. I look back on his career back. Wow,

546
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 5: they went to, yeah, the finals, this many times, they

547
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:40,320
Speaker 5: won this minute, went to the Eastern Conference finals all

548
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:42,159
Speaker 5: these times. And he's got a championship and he's got

549
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 5: thirty thousand points for his career. It's fine. Also, I mean,

550
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:47,919
Speaker 5: it's a lot easier to score when your best player's

551
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 5: creating every single play for you.

552
00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, and he was even though his line now

553
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:56,720
Speaker 4: through two games, it's seventeen points, ten boards, and eight

554
00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:58,800
Speaker 4: and a half assists. If I'm doing that math, right,

555
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:02,840
Speaker 4: that's pretty good. Are people gonna care about the field

556
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:03,960
Speaker 4: goal percentage being bad?

557
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:06,680
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, of course. People still bring up Kobe Bryant

558
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 5: six for twenty four.

559
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah in the one game. Yeah yeah, because Kobe

560
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:13,520
Speaker 4: was good enough through the six games. Tatum just needs

561
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:16,000
Speaker 4: he just needs like two decent games.

562
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 2: Obviously one honestly, he just needs one, like good decent

563
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:20,240
Speaker 2: shooting game.

564
00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 4: Yeah.

565
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:22,919
Speaker 2: And this is completely all forgotten, but right now, it's

566
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:26,000
Speaker 2: just it is weird that uh. And again I know

567
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 2: it's people like already coming in with the bias towards

568
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:31,280
Speaker 2: Tatum and like, oh, he's not even still he's not

569
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 2: a top five guy, and you know people think that,

570
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:36,840
Speaker 2: but yeah, you know, he's he's just struggling. He can't shoot,

571
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:38,600
Speaker 2: and he's doing the point where he hits a shot

572
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:39,920
Speaker 2: and he's like he's doing.

573
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:40,880
Speaker 4: The oh my god.

574
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 2: Finally, it's just it's it's odd to lay and you know,

575
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:45,399
Speaker 2: you said it after game one and he saw more

576
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:48,119
Speaker 2: of it in game two. He's he's being sort of

577
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:50,960
Speaker 2: cute with it around the rim and cute like these

578
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 2: little he's trying to like almost Kyrie it and flipping

579
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:55,960
Speaker 2: in off these weird angles and avoid contact. And you know,

580
00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:57,240
Speaker 2: maybe it was a good thing. He was at least

581
00:25:57,240 --> 00:25:59,240
Speaker 2: trying to dunk in the fourth quarter, even though that

582
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:01,600
Speaker 2: wasn't working for at least he was going with some aggressiveness.

583
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:02,920
Speaker 4: Yeah. I don't know if he's just not in a

584
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:05,159
Speaker 4: rhythm because his first attempt in this game was a

585
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:07,560
Speaker 4: layup attempt and he missed. He just missed a layup,

586
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:10,359
Speaker 4: and so he was doing a lot of those turnaround

587
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:13,040
Speaker 4: shots that you don't need to do that at all,

588
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:17,320
Speaker 4: and he's just trying to get it going, and obviously

589
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:22,080
Speaker 4: it wasn't working through the first through the first three

590
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:24,200
Speaker 4: and a half quarters. Now, like I said, that four

591
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 4: on one when he could have easily just shot that

592
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:28,440
Speaker 4: was a nice team play. He made a lot of

593
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:33,439
Speaker 4: nice Hey, you guys are really good smart. Those are

594
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:37,199
Speaker 4: good passes for Jason Tams. So yeah, who they who

595
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:40,840
Speaker 4: people would vote for? It's a great it's this one's

596
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:44,080
Speaker 4: a good debate because there's just so many characters here,

597
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:46,280
Speaker 4: so many guys that could win it. I mean there's

598
00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:48,040
Speaker 4: a lot of characters, a lot of characters.

599
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:50,360
Speaker 2: Man, well, I mean and you know, yeah, you could

600
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:53,119
Speaker 2: vote for Drew Holiday rightfully. So for Finals MVP right now,

601
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:55,000
Speaker 2: Joan Brown, Yes, I mean maybe you still want to

602
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 2: convince yourself, Tatum, I think that's a bit of a stretch.

603
00:26:57,240 --> 00:27:00,399
Speaker 2: But then Bob Myers in the UH post show, he

604
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:04,960
Speaker 2: said Finals MVP is Brad Stevens. We're allowed to vote

605
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:08,840
Speaker 2: for him executive not not even.

606
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:10,880
Speaker 4: He threw it up.

607
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:16,080
Speaker 2: Brad Stevens's Finals MVP, and my mind was blown. Didn't

608
00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:17,200
Speaker 2: even know you could do that.

609
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 5: So I don't think so Bob. I don't think so

610
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 5: Bob's done a good job.

611
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:23,359
Speaker 4: He's done a very good job because Jalen and Jason

612
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:26,959
Speaker 4: have been around for a long time and Brad Stevens

613
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:33,520
Speaker 4: was able to go and get Drew Holliday and Derek White. People. Yeah,

614
00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:35,360
Speaker 4: he's still there even though he didn't have a great game.

615
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:37,480
Speaker 4: He is not the finals MVPs at this point. No,

616
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:37,840
Speaker 4: he's not.

617
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:39,720
Speaker 2: We don't even know if we're going to see Porzingis.

618
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:40,080
Speaker 5: Uh.

619
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:41,639
Speaker 2: He says he will be playing.

620
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:44,159
Speaker 5: He's going to die out there on the court, a

621
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:47,520
Speaker 5: pretty serious leg injury. Yeah, if he's gonna die, half

622
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:48,280
Speaker 5: strange Jesus.

623
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:50,879
Speaker 2: But he was limping late sort of when the you know,

624
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:52,480
Speaker 2: Mavericks started to make a little bit of a run.

625
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:54,760
Speaker 2: He was noticeably limping and bringing up on the broadcast.

626
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:57,480
Speaker 2: And you do wonder Game threes not until Wednesday, so

627
00:27:57,560 --> 00:27:59,920
Speaker 2: it's a bit of a gap here. But we'll see

628
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:03,200
Speaker 2: if he's limited. I mean, the Mavericks need any little

629
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:05,920
Speaker 2: thing they can get, so they're gonna pray that he

630
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:08,600
Speaker 2: can't play in Game three and give them a better chance.

631
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 2: But even then, I don't think people are like, oh,

632
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 2: this will completely change the serious that's how good Boston's been.

633
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:15,359
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think Horford has probably still been better than

634
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:18,240
Speaker 5: any of the Mavericks center. See, so I assume that

635
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:21,199
Speaker 5: the Celtics will keep with their strategy of Al Horford

636
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:24,080
Speaker 5: is our starting center until something changes. But I agree

637
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:26,840
Speaker 5: Porzingis was limping around out there, but he didn't come

638
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:31,000
Speaker 5: off right away right. Oddly enough, the Celtics at Mavericks ran,

639
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:34,480
Speaker 5: I don't know, eight posessions could go play with Porzingis

640
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 5: limping around out there before Kyrie Irving like dusted him

641
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:41,000
Speaker 5: made the layup and Jojo had to finally call a

642
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 5: time out. So yeah, they're all saying no concern. They

643
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:46,560
Speaker 5: think he'll be out there, and like you said, he's

644
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:51,240
Speaker 5: ready to die for this leg out there. But I mean,

645
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:54,200
Speaker 5: as long as Horford doesn't get into foul trouble and

646
00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 5: Luke Cornett has to play thirty minutes, they could probably

647
00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:58,240
Speaker 5: survive a game without Porzingis. Yeah.

648
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:00,920
Speaker 2: Games three and four Wednesday and Friday in Dallas. Boston

649
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:03,960
Speaker 2: has not lost on the road this postseason, so there's that.

650
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:06,480
Speaker 2: And it was the ninth time the Celtics have won

651
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:09,360
Speaker 2: the opening pair of games in the NBA Finals. They've

652
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:12,600
Speaker 2: won the previous eight. They've never even been forced to

653
00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:14,480
Speaker 2: a game seven after taking the first two games of

654
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:17,360
Speaker 2: a finals. And teams that are zero and two or

655
00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:20,120
Speaker 2: see I should flip it, teams that trail the finals two. Oh,

656
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:21,800
Speaker 2: like the Dallas Mavericks are right now are five and

657
00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:24,080
Speaker 2: twenty eight all time, So a few teams have come

658
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:27,360
Speaker 2: back to pull this off. But it starts with like

659
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:30,920
Speaker 2: the series it ends, or you know, maybe gets a

660
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:33,760
Speaker 2: little interesting on Wednesday night. Obviously, if Boston takes care

661
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:35,280
Speaker 2: of business and winnes three straight, it's a rap and

662
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:37,640
Speaker 2: it's just a is it a gentleman's sweep? Is what

663
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:39,880
Speaker 2: it will feel like. Maybe Dallas wins it and then

664
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:41,840
Speaker 2: it's like, oh, we can talk ourselves into what happens

665
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:42,320
Speaker 2: on Friday night.

666
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:44,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, Game three should be awesome. I saw Jason Kidd

667
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:46,320
Speaker 5: in the locker room post game. He's like, hey, we

668
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:49,240
Speaker 5: gave ourselves a chance to win. They did. This was

669
00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 5: a game that was there for the for the Mavericks

670
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:54,240
Speaker 5: to be able to take home with the WU say

671
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:56,280
Speaker 5: we had a chance to win. They did what they

672
00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:58,320
Speaker 5: were supposed to do, defend home court. They never do

673
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:01,960
Speaker 5: that we can get one eventually. Porzingis. He's limping around

674
00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:04,840
Speaker 5: out there. I'm Jason Kidd. I'm getting the kids fired up,

675
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:07,240
Speaker 5: and I think maybe it could work because this is

676
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 5: a team that has generally been pretty resilient and has

677
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:13,040
Speaker 5: bounced back when things look bad. But they just need

678
00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:16,400
Speaker 5: to get better performances from basically two through eight on

679
00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 5: their rock.

680
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:21,080
Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, big time too. Kyie Irving has to be better.

681
00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:23,440
Speaker 4: He hasn't hit a three in this series thus far,

682
00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:27,360
Speaker 4: and he has lost his last twelve to the Boston Celtics.

683
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:28,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's that as well.

684
00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:29,360
Speaker 4: It's real.

685
00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:33,240
Speaker 2: That's right, that's right, that's right. It's got him, It's

686
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:35,440
Speaker 2: got him. I did love this line from NBA dot

687
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:39,320
Speaker 2: COM's Sean Powell talking about the He called it the nontroversy,

688
00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:43,040
Speaker 2: not controversy, the nontroversy known as the who's the best Celtic.

689
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:46,160
Speaker 2: But it's gone like this. Last month it was Jason Tatum,

690
00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:48,960
Speaker 2: last week it was Jaellen Brown. Game one, it was

691
00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:52,120
Speaker 2: Kristaps Porzegis, and now after Game two it's true Holiday.

692
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:55,400
Speaker 2: So you know, let's follow the pattern. Who will be

693
00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:58,760
Speaker 2: the best Celtics player in Game three? I mean it's

694
00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:01,680
Speaker 2: gotta be Uh. Maybe it's a Derek White, Maybe it's

695
00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:06,480
Speaker 2: a Horford, Maybe it's a Lingering Waiting. Maybe it's just

696
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:09,680
Speaker 2: Brad Stevens again. Uh, according to my he played a

697
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 2: great game, played a great game. Anything else from on

698
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:16,600
Speaker 2: the court, from Game two or the finals so far,

699
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 2: anything in your notes there.

700
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:19,440
Speaker 5: I don't know if this counts is on the court?

701
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:22,520
Speaker 5: Well it does. You mentioned Peyton Pritchard's bank shot at

702
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:24,680
Speaker 5: the end of the third quarter. This thing is getting

703
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:27,920
Speaker 5: praised like he made a Jerry West game winner and

704
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 5: the finals. Joe Mazula said it's the biggest shot of

705
00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:33,200
Speaker 5: the game, the fact that he took it. Other players

706
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:35,840
Speaker 5: wouldn't take it. Jalen Brown said he checked himself in

707
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:38,240
Speaker 5: just to be able to shoot that half court shot.

708
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:40,160
Speaker 5: I don't know if it's true, but I saw that

709
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:44,800
Speaker 5: several Celtics beat writers reporting it, including Jay King, and

710
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:47,720
Speaker 5: they definitely yelled I do this, So maybe it's true.

711
00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:49,320
Speaker 5: You know, maybe it's like, hey, we need a half

712
00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:50,600
Speaker 5: court shot, let me bank it.

713
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:52,000
Speaker 2: Hout didn't Georgia.

714
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:53,680
Speaker 4: Backed in with three seconds left in the third quarter.

715
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:56,920
Speaker 4: I didn't even realize, Yeah, give it to me.

716
00:31:57,120 --> 00:31:58,200
Speaker 2: Well, he knocked it in. I mean it was a

717
00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:01,040
Speaker 2: close game with the what six points pushed it to

718
00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:04,280
Speaker 2: nine the fourth quarter, didn't Jordan Poole had a big

719
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:08,760
Speaker 2: like buzzer beating three in the in the finals against

720
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:11,680
Speaker 2: the Celtics back in twenty twenty two. I think so,

721
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:14,560
Speaker 2: I think so somebody look that up that something similar

722
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:17,160
Speaker 2: like where he hit a big, big momentum three. I

723
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:20,040
Speaker 2: think it's game five, so it would have been obviously

724
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:23,640
Speaker 2: an important game. My only other note, you know, you

725
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:26,360
Speaker 2: talked about Derek Jones Junior like he's he struggled from

726
00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:29,920
Speaker 2: three especially he had and Gaffer did have a moment

727
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:31,560
Speaker 2: too in the start of the second half. He had

728
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 2: like a little stretch where it was okay, And I

729
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:35,280
Speaker 2: thought Derek Jones Junior in the second quarter when things

730
00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:38,280
Speaker 2: were getting away from Dallas, he flew in for that

731
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 2: offensive rebound and then like dished it sort of flipped

732
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:44,360
Speaker 2: it back to I believe Josh Green who scored inside.

733
00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:46,760
Speaker 2: Then Derrek Jones Junior. A few possessions later, he picked

734
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 2: off a Tatum pass and attacked, had an and one,

735
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:52,080
Speaker 2: finished that hit the free throw three point play there.

736
00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:53,840
Speaker 2: A few minutes later he finished off an alley oop

737
00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:57,440
Speaker 2: from a super high Luca lob that was like that one.

738
00:32:57,480 --> 00:32:59,080
Speaker 2: So yeah, there was a he had. He had like

739
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:01,840
Speaker 2: little they That's the thing with their their role players.

740
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:05,480
Speaker 2: You know, even PJ. Washington moments okay, other times really bad.

741
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:09,120
Speaker 2: And for sure the Celtics are happily saying, uh, as

742
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:12,000
Speaker 2: long as you're not in the corner, we don't care

743
00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:14,640
Speaker 2: where you shoot it. Derek Jones, Junior, PJ. Washington, Josh Green.

744
00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:16,240
Speaker 2: You know they try and take away the corner and

745
00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:17,800
Speaker 2: we don't give a crap if you shoot it. And

746
00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:21,200
Speaker 2: then I also wrote down just brutal first quarter Maxi

747
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:24,240
Speaker 2: Kleeb of minutes, missing threes, the ones that he would

748
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:27,840
Speaker 2: finally would take. He's getting blocked by KP. He was

749
00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:31,960
Speaker 2: fouling off ball. Not good, not good, not good from him.

750
00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:34,200
Speaker 2: And yeah, even like you said, you slipped in there,

751
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:36,440
Speaker 2: we saw exhum he's trying to find someone.

752
00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:36,920
Speaker 5: I think the.

753
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:39,080
Speaker 4: Pregame he hit a three pointer.

754
00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:41,719
Speaker 5: Yeah, that is the most wide open shot that's been

755
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:44,200
Speaker 5: happening so far in this finals. What an incredible pass

756
00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:46,760
Speaker 5: by donc just to throw it from in front of

757
00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:49,160
Speaker 5: a guy behind him. He threw a bounce pass like

758
00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:52,440
Speaker 5: thirty feet backwards. Yeah. Yeah, so exim didn't make that

759
00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:55,800
Speaker 5: he was getting sap. Yeah, that would have been embarrassing.

760
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:57,840
Speaker 5: I think maybe Tim Hardaway Junior is gonna I was

761
00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:00,520
Speaker 5: just gonna say, I can't play defense, but he'll shoot

762
00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:02,840
Speaker 5: a three every time it's open and oftentimes if it's not.

763
00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:06,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, I guess they don't have faith in Jane Hardy

764
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:09,920
Speaker 4: to do that because he got Dante Axm took his minutes.

765
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:11,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, he got no minutes.

766
00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:16,239
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, Like Cleve always have faith in that guy

767
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:18,799
Speaker 4: that he can hit an open shot, but he missed

768
00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:23,239
Speaker 4: an open corner three. Josh Green, I always have faith

769
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:25,319
Speaker 4: in that guy that he can be better and missed

770
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:28,120
Speaker 4: it a corner three as well. Yeah, somebody's just gotta hit.

771
00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:30,759
Speaker 4: You can't just be Ophers. There's so many Ophers with

772
00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:33,200
Speaker 4: those offers and they don't want to shoot it.

773
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:35,440
Speaker 5: So like that's the other Like Derek Jones Junior, he

774
00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:37,480
Speaker 5: did make some plays away from the three point line,

775
00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:39,279
Speaker 5: but if you're not going to shoot it, it doesn't matter.

776
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:42,279
Speaker 5: Daniel Gafford posting up and scoring twice back to back

777
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:44,879
Speaker 5: on Jason Tatum, it doesn't matter. Like these are cool

778
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:47,080
Speaker 5: plays that happen, and you're like, Okay, maybe you can

779
00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:48,719
Speaker 5: stay on the court a little bit here, but you

780
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:50,480
Speaker 5: got to be doing something else, and you got to

781
00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:52,960
Speaker 5: be doing something that plays to your strengths and that

782
00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:54,080
Speaker 5: plays to the team strength.

783
00:34:54,440 --> 00:35:01,200
Speaker 2: All right, let's get into some random notes from game two. Dandom, Yeah,

784
00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:04,520
Speaker 2: random notes. I don't have a lot from this one

785
00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:06,680
Speaker 2: as many as I did from game one, but I did.

786
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:10,120
Speaker 2: Like when we saw a shot of Shack and Paul

787
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:13,839
Speaker 2: Pierre sitting courtside together and Mike Breen dropped on us

788
00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:18,759
Speaker 2: some great Celtics, and even JJ Reddick was like, uh,

789
00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:22,920
Speaker 2: what I mean, Shack? Shack is a great Celtic. Is

790
00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:25,000
Speaker 2: a bit of a stretch. Do you guys know how

791
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:28,040
Speaker 2: many games Shack played for the Boston Celtics. It was

792
00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:31,959
Speaker 2: the last team Shack played for after Pound Calf. Yeah,

793
00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:35,000
Speaker 2: it's fourteen. Okay.

794
00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:37,320
Speaker 4: I would have said way higher, but I could be

795
00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:37,879
Speaker 4: way wrong.

796
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:41,040
Speaker 2: Forty five Okay, you're closer. Task he played. He started

797
00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:43,480
Speaker 2: thirty six of thirty seven games for the Celtics in

798
00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:46,320
Speaker 2: his final year. What do you think he averaged points

799
00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:46,719
Speaker 2: for a game?

800
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:47,600
Speaker 4: Fifteen?

801
00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:51,400
Speaker 2: Okay, that's too hot? Yeah, closer? Nine point two nine

802
00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:56,000
Speaker 2: point two, so point being probably not, probably not a celtraight,

803
00:35:57,239 --> 00:35:59,240
Speaker 2: probably not, but very pretty funny.

804
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:02,120
Speaker 4: I guess into it wondering what am I gonna say

805
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:03,040
Speaker 4: about these two guys.

806
00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:06,680
Speaker 2: Why are these two guys sitting together? One loves hookah,

807
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:08,000
Speaker 2: one doesn't mind a drink.

808
00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:10,359
Speaker 5: Look at these guys, So I think they both love Huka.

809
00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:11,680
Speaker 2: Well, that's true, that's true.

810
00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:14,800
Speaker 5: Probably probably with that I can confirm it with my

811
00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:16,640
Speaker 5: own eyeballs. They both do.

812
00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:20,799
Speaker 2: So I had that. I also had this fan trying

813
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:23,719
Speaker 2: to distract Luca at the free throw line in the

814
00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:25,839
Speaker 2: first quarter. Now you see him in the back there

815
00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:29,240
Speaker 2: and he's grabbing his belly but almost to the side.

816
00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:31,040
Speaker 2: Took me a while to figure out what the hell

817
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:33,800
Speaker 2: he was doing. I guess he's trying to mock the

818
00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:38,440
Speaker 2: injury my ribbi Yeah, a riblet uh. And you know

819
00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:40,680
Speaker 2: it didn't It didn't work on this particular free throw.

820
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:42,200
Speaker 2: But Luca did miss a lot of a lot of

821
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:43,879
Speaker 2: free throws. And the maps were garbage at the line.

822
00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:46,040
Speaker 2: I mean they left a lot of points. In fact,

823
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:48,120
Speaker 2: when you look at it, I know it's never as

824
00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:50,200
Speaker 2: simple as this. But Celtics nineteen to twenty at the

825
00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:53,560
Speaker 2: line Mavericks sixteen to twenty four. So that's one Boston

826
00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:57,160
Speaker 2: miss against eight misses from Dallas. That's a difference to

827
00:36:57,200 --> 00:37:00,400
Speaker 2: seven points. Final score of the game one of five

828
00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:02,400
Speaker 2: ninety eight. That's a difference to seven points. What a

829
00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:04,880
Speaker 2: free throws they win games, or at least high games.

830
00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:06,879
Speaker 5: To get some of the overtime, make some of them,

831
00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:09,000
Speaker 5: you know, honestly, but that's been a Mavericks problem in

832
00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:10,560
Speaker 5: the entire year. I think they're twenty seventh in the

833
00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:13,560
Speaker 5: league this season in free throw shooting. Oddly enough, Luca

834
00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:16,000
Speaker 5: doesn't shoot free throws that well for being a knockdown

835
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:18,000
Speaker 5: shooter everywhere else. Maybe he needs to get into his

836
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:20,840
Speaker 5: bag before shooting free throws, get a defender, shoot a

837
00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:21,480
Speaker 5: fade away.

838
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:23,080
Speaker 2: Or at the very least when he steps the line. Yeah,

839
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:24,440
Speaker 2: he has to like pretend he's gonna shoot it and

840
00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:27,520
Speaker 2: then spin away and like yeah, like fade away from

841
00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:29,759
Speaker 2: the free throw line, and it probably hit him down more. Yeah,

842
00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:31,919
Speaker 2: you're right, you called it twenty seventh in the league

843
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:32,520
Speaker 2: in the regular season.

844
00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:34,239
Speaker 5: Yeah, he hit one fade away in this game where

845
00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:37,120
Speaker 5: he was horizontal and then like he landed and pointed

846
00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:38,040
Speaker 5: right at Wick grouse back.

847
00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:38,719
Speaker 4: It's like, who are you?

848
00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:41,359
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't know you, but you're yelling at him.

849
00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:43,000
Speaker 2: I think I win to say this on the pause

850
00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:45,479
Speaker 2: this morning. It's like true, it's like every Celtic or sorry,

851
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:48,360
Speaker 2: every yeah, every Celtic shot that they get, whether they

852
00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:51,320
Speaker 2: hit it or make it, it like it's open. You know,

853
00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:54,320
Speaker 2: it's like a good shot feels like he said, like

854
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:56,400
Speaker 2: eighty five percent of the time, and that felt about right.

855
00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:58,160
Speaker 2: It's like, yeah, more times than not, eight out of

856
00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:00,200
Speaker 2: ten times, eight and a half out of ten times,

857
00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:01,640
Speaker 2: it feels like a good shot, even if they hit

858
00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:05,120
Speaker 2: it or miss it. What's the percentage for the Mavericks.

859
00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:08,320
Speaker 2: It's low, man, it's low. It's low. Even the nuts

860
00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:10,920
Speaker 2: ones they make. It's like, oh, well that was great defense.

861
00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:13,080
Speaker 2: That's just a hell of a shot, you know. Windhorse

862
00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:15,239
Speaker 2: said fifty percent. It also feels too high to me.

863
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:18,080
Speaker 2: One out of every two shots is a good shot.

864
00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:20,200
Speaker 2: That's and I mean I say this, this is all

865
00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:23,879
Speaker 2: Celtics defense is They're everywhere, So yeah, that's that's gonna

866
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:25,640
Speaker 2: be tough. Whether you're playing at home or on the road.

867
00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:28,560
Speaker 2: You're just everything's just much more difficult for them than

868
00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:29,280
Speaker 2: it is for Boston.

869
00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:32,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, absolutely right, Like there was that play I'm thinking

870
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:35,400
Speaker 5: it was in the fourth quarter where Luca throws another

871
00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:39,040
Speaker 5: brilliant pass like he gets he gets stopped on trying

872
00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:42,760
Speaker 5: to get into his fadeaway bag and hits PJ Washington

873
00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:45,200
Speaker 5: rolling to the hoop like through it just behind the

874
00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:46,600
Speaker 5: ear of some guy catches it.

875
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:47,000
Speaker 4: PJ.

876
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:49,000
Speaker 5: Washington has to pump fake and then hit a little

877
00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:52,560
Speaker 5: float or fade away and it's like, great shot, great pass.

878
00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:54,680
Speaker 5: Two points for the Mavericks. You had to work so

879
00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:56,880
Speaker 5: hard for that. The ball was almost stolen twice. And

880
00:38:56,960 --> 00:38:59,239
Speaker 5: it's just the margin for error is so slim for

881
00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:03,120
Speaker 5: the Mavericks to miss all those free throws, to have

882
00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:06,359
Speaker 5: so many turnovers, to allow ten offensive rebounds, like if

883
00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:08,239
Speaker 5: you're not playing well in other areas of the game,

884
00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:10,880
Speaker 5: they don't have literally the margin for era.

885
00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:12,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, to make these errors.

886
00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:15,839
Speaker 4: Yeah, PJ decided not to shoot the three pointer from

887
00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:18,600
Speaker 4: above the break. That's where he got another zip pass

888
00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:21,160
Speaker 4: in the third quarter from a beautiful baseline pass from

889
00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:24,399
Speaker 4: from Luca. What a skip path? How do you get

890
00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:26,880
Speaker 4: it there? But he missed the three pointer. He just

891
00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:30,600
Speaker 4: ever since his Charlotte days, he just can't shoot above

892
00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:33,080
Speaker 4: the break threes. Put him in the corner. He's gonna

893
00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:35,200
Speaker 4: hit those babies. But Boston's doing a really good job

894
00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:38,600
Speaker 4: in the corners. Yeah, in Boston's just not forcing shots.

895
00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:41,759
Speaker 4: I mean, there's a couple where Jason Tatum's got Derek

896
00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:43,920
Speaker 4: Lively on him, should go buy him, but he decides

897
00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:45,880
Speaker 4: to shoot a three to get the flow going. Christapsports

898
00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:48,759
Speaker 4: think the same thing. He's taller, so he's gonna shoot

899
00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:51,359
Speaker 4: a three. But there aren't many of those. There aren't

900
00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:54,360
Speaker 4: many bad shots for Boston. I am wondering though, with

901
00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:57,960
Speaker 4: that fan, he looked like he's saying, yeah, Luca has

902
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:01,080
Speaker 4: a chest injury. He started, he did two big shakes

903
00:40:01,120 --> 00:40:03,560
Speaker 4: of his body. It started at the chest. That's where

904
00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:05,840
Speaker 4: Luca's injury is. That makes sense. Then he went a

905
00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:11,279
Speaker 4: few inches lower. Yeah, where's belly because he's got belly.

906
00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:13,400
Speaker 4: He's like, oh yeah, oh yeah, I forgot this is

907
00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:16,239
Speaker 4: a this is fun. I haven't shaken this in a while.

908
00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:19,720
Speaker 4: But we going man.

909
00:40:21,239 --> 00:40:22,520
Speaker 2: Any other random notes?

910
00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:26,280
Speaker 5: Uh yeah, I like Jalen Brown miked up guys. Seemed

911
00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:27,719
Speaker 5: like a great leader in this one meet. In the

912
00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:29,279
Speaker 5: moment we knew they were gonna come out like this,

913
00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:32,239
Speaker 5: stay focused, shoot it with confidence. Now. A lot of

914
00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:35,600
Speaker 5: times you see a guy giving these inspirational speeches when

915
00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:37,960
Speaker 5: they're miked up, and you're like, that seems fake. You're

916
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:39,920
Speaker 5: doing this because you have the microphone on right now.

917
00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:42,239
Speaker 5: But I really felt like Game two of the NBA

918
00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:46,719
Speaker 5: Finals intensity from Jalen Brown also credit to him. Great

919
00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:49,120
Speaker 5: leadership from Jalen Brown that would maybe push him over

920
00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:52,399
Speaker 5: the top on Finals MVP votes. And then a little

921
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:54,960
Speaker 5: hat watching here. I saw a Mavericks fan who was

922
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:58,600
Speaker 5: sitting I believe, behind the celt expense wearing a cowboy hat.

923
00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:02,600
Speaker 5: Oh casually through the A little jealous of course. But

924
00:41:02,719 --> 00:41:04,880
Speaker 5: then did you see Jason Kidd's hat that he was

925
00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:08,239
Speaker 5: wearing a post game like backwards cap, often backwards cap,

926
00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:12,000
Speaker 5: but they had they like in his pregame press and stuff.

927
00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:16,680
Speaker 5: It's got bugs Bunny, yes, spinning a basketball, but the basketball.

928
00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:19,319
Speaker 2: Is a Maverick's logo. I did see this. I saw this, Yeah,

929
00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:21,560
Speaker 2: bugs Bunny hat. Yeah, I guess can you buy that

930
00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:22,319
Speaker 2: in the MAVs shop?

931
00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:26,719
Speaker 5: I guess so? But why, man, I don't know, you're

932
00:41:26,719 --> 00:41:28,840
Speaker 5: looking childish when you're wearing a bugs bunny hat out there.

933
00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:30,480
Speaker 2: I mean, I'd love to hear what Colin Coward thinks

934
00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:30,920
Speaker 2: of that hat.

935
00:41:31,120 --> 00:41:33,279
Speaker 5: There's no way you like the backwards bugs bunny hat.

936
00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:33,840
Speaker 5: I wouldn't.

937
00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:35,160
Speaker 2: I wouldn't think.

938
00:41:35,239 --> 00:41:37,040
Speaker 4: No, I didn't see it. So the bugs bunny is

939
00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:39,719
Speaker 4: on the back of a hat, can't, Well, it would

940
00:41:39,719 --> 00:41:40,239
Speaker 4: be on the front.

941
00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:42,040
Speaker 2: Yeah he did. He was wearing it both ways.

942
00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:43,399
Speaker 4: Yeah, always wearing it both well.

943
00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:45,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, at least the same hat for sure.

944
00:41:45,719 --> 00:41:46,200
Speaker 4: So weird.

945
00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:46,799
Speaker 5: It is weird.

946
00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:50,759
Speaker 4: Thought I wouldn't do it.

947
00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:53,640
Speaker 5: But seeing a coach wearing a backwards hat is weird.

948
00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:55,839
Speaker 5: You're like, that just looks like a fan who's at

949
00:41:55,880 --> 00:41:57,440
Speaker 5: the game. Yeah, but they led him in the locker

950
00:41:57,520 --> 00:42:00,200
Speaker 5: room to get people fired up. These guys. Class is

951
00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:02,439
Speaker 5: on total disguise mode.

952
00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:05,759
Speaker 4: So strange because he was doing it for his pregame

953
00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:10,040
Speaker 4: speech as well. Yeah you are getting ready to go

954
00:42:10,120 --> 00:42:12,400
Speaker 4: out without your hat on? Why are you wearing your hat?

955
00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:14,560
Speaker 2: Okay, Well here's a question. Can can a coach wear

956
00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:16,280
Speaker 2: a hat on the sidelines?

957
00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:18,759
Speaker 5: Why not? Why not?

958
00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:21,680
Speaker 2: Well, yeah why not? But why has no one ever

959
00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:26,520
Speaker 2: done it? Assistants included, I guess you can't. It's weird

960
00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:27,400
Speaker 2: when you think about it.

961
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:29,319
Speaker 5: That's gonna be the game changer for games.

962
00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:32,960
Speaker 2: Am I making that up? Or there's no our assistants

963
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:33,520
Speaker 2: in Cats?

964
00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:33,920
Speaker 4: No?

965
00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:38,440
Speaker 5: No, no, everybody's there's nobody that wears a hat in

966
00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:40,160
Speaker 5: the NBA on any bench. Shut up.

967
00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:49,040
Speaker 2: Question man, Yeah try it, try it, sunny hat.

968
00:42:49,120 --> 00:42:49,359
Speaker 4: Wow.

969
00:42:49,640 --> 00:42:54,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's unusual. It's like almost like the color waves

970
00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:57,560
Speaker 2: to like, uh Frame City, like Tampa Bay the Rays,

971
00:42:57,640 --> 00:42:59,839
Speaker 2: the baseball team, they have like a color connect or whatever.

972
00:42:59,880 --> 00:43:01,760
Speaker 2: The what of those jerseys are? Those are the colors

973
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:04,360
Speaker 2: City Stingray? Yeah, City Connect thank you. It's like a

974
00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:05,920
Speaker 2: Stingray riding a skateboard.

00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:08,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, that was amazing.

976
00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:09,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, the colors are cool.

977
00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:10,800
Speaker 5: I would get a Stingray riding a skateboard.

978
00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:15,200
Speaker 4: It's so weird, especially for a bald guy. And Jay

00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:17,279
Speaker 4: Kit he doesn't have any hair under there.

980

00:43:19,960 --> 00:43:22,320
Speaker 5: since he was playing last few years in Dallas.

982
00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:23,839
Speaker 4: But he needs to wear a hat.

983
00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:27,400
Speaker 2: Interesting surprise, anything else's tasks?

Speaker 4: way I did because because the first time.

995
00:43:58,840 --> 00:44:00,800
Speaker 2: They do it a little differently, they gave him a

996
00:44:00,880 --> 00:44:01,760
Speaker 2: little bit more time.

997
00:44:01,640 --> 00:44:06,560
Speaker 4: To right away. They came back with just a clip

998
00:44:06,640 --> 00:44:10,799
Speaker 4: of something happening and Josh Hart saying blah blah blah,

999

1004
00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:23,120
Speaker 2: just put them all in a row. Then I'm like, well,

1005
00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:25,680
Speaker 2: they think you're more likely to you know, Oh, I

1006
00:44:25,719 --> 00:44:31,800
Speaker 2: hear Josh Hart talking like my will Yeah, well I

1007
00:44:31,880 --> 00:44:34,480
Speaker 2: think I saw somebody on Twitter clock. The entire thing

1008
00:44:34,840 --> 00:44:37,359
Speaker 2: came in at two minutes and three seconds total, uh

1009
00:44:37,920 --> 00:44:43,960
Speaker 2: total halftime breakdown across all the segments. Yeah, well yes,

1010
00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:46,759
Speaker 2: but my final note steven A. Smith not a part

1011
00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:51,719
Speaker 2: of the post game show. He wasn't there. It was

1012
00:44:51,760 --> 00:44:54,560
Speaker 2: just an empty seat or they taking it away. What's

1013
00:44:54,600 --> 00:44:55,120
Speaker 2: going on there?

1014
00:44:55,920 --> 00:44:59,319
Speaker 5: That the unseen comments here at every post game, that's

1015
00:44:59,320 --> 00:44:59,919
Speaker 5: what they called Steve.

1016
00:45:00,880 --> 00:45:03,000
Speaker 2: Anyway, there were some people wondering if it's because Bob

1017
00:45:03,080 --> 00:45:06,399
Speaker 2: Meyer sort of came at stephen A in the pregame show.

1018
00:45:07,080 --> 00:45:09,000
Speaker 2: It was like sort of a shot at like people

1019
00:45:09,160 --> 00:45:13,320
Speaker 2: like you ripping apart good teams like the Celtics and

1020
00:45:13,440 --> 00:45:15,360
Speaker 2: Steven he took a little offense to that, sort of

1021
00:45:15,360 --> 00:45:17,440
Speaker 2: pushed back, but then he was there for halftime. But

1022
00:45:17,440 --> 00:45:18,759
Speaker 2: I don't know. Then he was gone for a post

1023
00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:20,560
Speaker 2: Maybe had something to do. Maybe I had a podcast.

1024
00:45:20,680 --> 00:45:22,640
Speaker 2: Guy's got a million shows. It was probably on another.

1025
00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:26,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, he had to choose his favorite Pokemon. I gotta

1026
00:45:26,560 --> 00:45:27,440
Speaker 5: get this, some thought.

1027
00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:29,560
Speaker 4: Bulble Sore.

1028
00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:34,840

Speaker 2: that I don't know, A girdled ridiculous.

1030
00:45:41,280 --> 00:45:44,600
Speaker 4: Wild. It is wild that, as you said, two minutes

1031
00:45:44,600 --> 00:45:47,000
Speaker 4: and three seconds on air, that means they probably had

1032
00:45:47,480 --> 00:45:50,960
Speaker 4: at least twelve minutes of commercials. Oh yeah, versus two

1033
00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:55,279
Speaker 4: minutes of people talking who were wearing suits right, other

1034
00:45:55,360 --> 00:45:59,960
Speaker 4: than Andrews wearing a suit of four suits. Yeah, they're ready.

1036
00:46:05,360 --> 00:46:07,280
Speaker 4: that breakdown is wild. That is wild.

00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:11,440
Speaker 5: So many commercials yeah, Reddit said it was like seventy

1038
00:46:11,520 --> 00:46:13,200
Speaker 5: two point six percent commercials.

1039
00:46:16,400 --> 00:46:17,640
Speaker 2: Did you say Reddick or Reddit?

1040
00:46:18,440 --> 00:46:24,959
Speaker 5: Reddit? I did, like JJ Reddick doing a YouTube TV

00:46:25,640 --> 00:46:29,200
Speaker 5: sponsored segment at one point that was like key plays

1042

00:46:33,800 --> 00:46:34,279
Speaker 4: It behind him.

1046
00:46:34,280 --> 00:46:37,120

1047
00:46:37,160 --> 00:46:37,920
Speaker 5: that crazy.

1048
00:46:37,680 --> 00:46:38,600

Speaker 4: I do have something, but that halftime or sorry, it

1066
00:47:18,320 --> 00:47:21,880
Speaker 4: was about halftime where Luka Doncic was, you know, getting

1067
00:47:21,920 --> 00:47:24,439
Speaker 4: all the video because he was awesome in the first

1068
00:47:24,480 --> 00:47:27,200
Speaker 4: half the fire, but after every shot he hit he

1069
00:47:27,360 --> 00:47:29,279
Speaker 4: was yelling at some fan.

1070
00:47:29,400 --> 00:47:32,399
Speaker 2: It wasn't just think he's yelling at everybody. Honestly, isn't

1073
00:47:38,080 --> 00:47:42,080

1074
00:47:42,160 --> 00:47:44,160
Speaker 2: to somebody that seems like he doesn't every time.

1075
00:47:44,239 --> 00:47:47,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, what are they doing? They shouldn't do that. When

1076
00:47:47,600 --> 00:47:49,600
Speaker 4: are they doing? They don't watch no dunks. If you

00:47:57,320 --> 00:47:59,160
Speaker 2: Getting good job hands. I don't know if they're getting

1080
00:47:59,239 --> 00:48:01,800
Speaker 2: under Kyrie's but he's not playing well. Who knows a

1081
00:48:01,840 --> 00:48:02,960
Speaker 2: lot of Kyrie sucks chants.

1082
00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:05,960
Speaker 5: Thought gave Kyrie sucks chance when Jason Tatum goes to

1083
00:48:06,040 --> 00:48:09,040
Speaker 5: the line, Yeah he's but they went nineteen to twenty

1084
00:48:09,080 --> 00:48:09,640
Speaker 5: for the free throw.

1085
00:48:09,880 --> 00:48:13,280
Speaker 2: Kyrie did this to himself too after Game one, saying,

1086
00:48:13,680 --> 00:48:14,960
Speaker 2: you know, I thought they were going to be a

1087
00:48:14,960 --> 00:48:15,439
Speaker 2: little worse.

1088
00:48:15,840 --> 00:48:17,239
Speaker 4: Yeah, for sure, I mean they were.

1089
00:48:17,400 --> 00:48:18,840
Speaker 2: They were worse in Game two, but I think it

1090
00:48:18,960 --> 00:48:21,200
Speaker 2: was mainly because you said that and they got the win,

1091
00:48:21,600 --> 00:48:23,320
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, They're feeling a little a

1092
00:48:23,360 --> 00:48:25,640
Speaker 2: little more confident after the Game one win. But I

1093
00:48:25,680 --> 00:48:27,799
Speaker 2: have some trivia question, or have a trivia question off

1094
00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:31,400
Speaker 2: of Luca's actual performance. This is from Statudes. Luca just

1095
00:48:31,480 --> 00:48:34,400
Speaker 2: the fourth player in NBA Finals history to record a

1096
00:48:34,520 --> 00:48:37,799
Speaker 2: thirty point triple double in a loss. Who did he join?

1097
00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:38,560
Speaker 2: My friends?

1098
00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:42,400
Speaker 5: Three guys thirty point triple double in a lot in

1099
00:48:42,440 --> 00:48:42,880
Speaker 5: the Finals.

1100
00:48:42,960 --> 00:48:45,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, one guy did it twice, Lebron did it, Bingo,

1101
00:48:46,120 --> 00:48:49,000
Speaker 2: Lebron James twice had a thirty point triple double in

1102
00:48:49,080 --> 00:48:53,279
Speaker 2: a loss. And then the other two guys, you know,

1103
00:48:53,400 --> 00:48:56,960
Speaker 2: gettable Hall of famers, some of the great Johnson, No,

1104
00:48:57,120 --> 00:48:59,319
Speaker 2: but yet, but there is a former Laker.

1105
00:48:59,520 --> 00:49:01,160
Speaker 4: Not How are we going back, you gotta go way back.

1106
00:49:01,239 --> 00:49:01,719
Speaker 4: Jerry West.

1107
00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:05,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, Jerry West, good, good call. Obviously lost a lot

1108
00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:07,520
Speaker 2: of finals games, had some big stats Finals MVP on

1109
00:49:07,600 --> 00:49:10,200
Speaker 2: the losing team, that's right. And then I was a

1110
00:49:10,239 --> 00:49:14,960
Speaker 2: little surprised by this guy. Uh a forward, undersized.

1111
00:49:14,560 --> 00:49:15,839
Speaker 5: Forward Draymond Green.

1112
00:49:16,040 --> 00:49:18,960
Speaker 2: No, no, but maybe the no. He was much better

1113
00:49:18,960 --> 00:49:21,160
Speaker 2: than dreamint Green. I was gonna say, personality wise, he's

1114
00:49:21,200 --> 00:49:23,600
Speaker 2: sort of on our test piece.

1115
00:49:23,920 --> 00:49:23,960
Speaker 4: No.

1116
00:49:24,320 --> 00:49:24,360
Speaker 5: No.

1117
00:49:25,680 --> 00:49:28,160
Speaker 2: In fact, there's a clip going around some kid trolling

1118
00:49:28,320 --> 00:49:31,840
Speaker 2: this Hall the Famer. Charles Barkley, Charles Barkley, Yeah, Barkley

1119
00:49:31,880 --> 00:49:34,640
Speaker 2: with thirty point triple double in a finals game. I

1120
00:49:34,640 --> 00:49:37,239
Speaker 2: don't remember the trip dub from Chuck, but it came

1121
00:49:37,280 --> 00:49:40,000
Speaker 2: in a loss. Jordan fifty five point probably got to

1122
00:49:40,040 --> 00:49:43,160
Speaker 2: be right anyway, there you go. So, uh, Luca now

1123

Speaker 2: the fourth player in NBA Finals history thirty point triple

1124

1137
00:50:38,920 --> 00:50:40,160
Speaker 2: That woman just caught right there.

1138
00:50:40,520 --> 00:50:41,040
Speaker 4: Good on her.

1139
00:50:41,200 --> 00:50:42,480
Speaker 2: I don't even know she caught it. It looked like

1140
00:50:42,560 --> 00:50:43,479
Speaker 2: she grabs it off the floor.

1141
00:50:43,640 --> 00:50:46,920
Speaker 5: Totally doesn't count off the floor. Oh, we'd have to

1142
00:50:47,040 --> 00:50:48,240
Speaker 5: check the rule books.

1143
00:50:48,840 --> 00:50:49,640
Speaker 2: Do you think it counts?

1144
00:50:49,760 --> 00:50:52,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, because I also think the friend was looking at

1145
00:50:52,239 --> 00:50:54,520
Speaker 4: it before she picked it up for the other one

1146
00:50:54,560 --> 00:50:57,879
Speaker 4: picked it up and was worried for James Harden. She knows,

1147
00:50:58,280 --> 00:51:01,000
Speaker 4: she knows. There's some I don't know, a little tension

1148
00:51:01,040 --> 00:51:03,719
Speaker 4: there or something, But yeah, I think there's I think

1149
00:51:03,719 --> 00:51:05,040
Speaker 4: there's no rules when it comes to book.

1150
00:51:05,280 --> 00:51:07,080
Speaker 2: Okay, whoever touches it.

1151
00:51:08,080 --> 00:51:09,520
Speaker 4: I love the care.

1152
00:51:09,960 --> 00:51:11,960
Speaker 2: You've probably seen it. It's like a famous clip where

1153
00:51:12,280 --> 00:51:14,719
Speaker 2: it's it's the guys doing it right. So it's like

1154
00:51:14,800 --> 00:51:17,640
Speaker 2: the reverse of this. There the groom's throwing it over

1155
00:51:17,719 --> 00:51:20,440
Speaker 2: his head, and and all the guys. When the guy

1156
00:51:20,480 --> 00:51:21,759
Speaker 2: chucks in the air and it's in slow most so

1157
00:51:21,760 --> 00:51:24,560
Speaker 2: it looks hilarious. Everybody runs away, and then the one

1158
00:51:24,600 --> 00:51:27,120
Speaker 2: guy comes in and just moves it and just kicks it.

1159
00:51:27,200 --> 00:51:31,320
Speaker 2: It's such a great kick good clip. I don't know

1160
00:51:31,360 --> 00:51:32,719
Speaker 2: what the I don't know what the rules are on that.

1161
00:51:32,880 --> 00:51:34,480
Speaker 2: Does that guy have to get married because he kicked

1162
00:51:34,480 --> 00:51:37,200
Speaker 2: it with his foot and touched it? I don't know,

1163
00:51:37,360 --> 00:51:37,759
Speaker 2: you have to.

1164
00:51:39,560 --> 00:51:44,480
Speaker 5: I wonder what the percentages people actually catching it and

1165
00:51:44,560 --> 00:51:47,080
Speaker 5: getting married. Well, we got to now rules rules?

1166
00:51:47,719 --> 00:51:50,040
Speaker 2: Did you have you ever ever caught it or you know.

1167
00:51:50,880 --> 00:51:59,040
Speaker 5: Throwing on thrown one guarter dina head or like, how

1168
00:51:59,080 --> 00:52:04,360
Speaker 5: do you do that? I go so far high tensile strength?

1169
00:52:05,040 --> 00:52:06,480
Speaker 2: Any other good wedding stories for me?

1170
00:52:06,960 --> 00:52:10,000
Speaker 5: My friend, uh, my friend Pat Murphy, he tears his

1171
00:52:10,160 --> 00:52:10,959
Speaker 5: pants at every wedding.

1172
00:52:11,239 --> 00:52:12,399
Speaker 2: I've turned my pants at a wedding.

1173
00:52:12,680 --> 00:52:14,560
Speaker 5: But have you torn him at every wedding? No, like

1174
00:52:14,719 --> 00:52:18,200
Speaker 5: literally tore him. I think he's torn him at least

1175
00:52:18,239 --> 00:52:21,200
Speaker 5: three of our friend's weddings from college.

1176
00:52:21,239 --> 00:52:22,560

00:52:26,040 --> 00:52:28,320
Speaker 5: drop it to the floor form like a slap a

1179
00:52:28,400 --> 00:52:30,160
Speaker 5: task mel a slap of the floor. I've never seen

1180
00:52:30,160 --> 00:52:33,640
Speaker 5: you terrapant, never you tear a pant, despite many a

1181
00:52:33,680 --> 00:52:36,520
Speaker 5: floor slaps. We got a might of tour, but not

1182
00:52:36,840 --> 00:52:40,960
Speaker 5: like that, not like that full blowouts. But we got

1183
00:52:41,000 --> 00:52:43,080
Speaker 5: a new friend group wedding coming up in August, so

1184
00:52:43,719 --> 00:52:47,239
Speaker 5: it'll be exciting like this. He's ever been, obviously the

1185
00:52:47,320 --> 00:52:49,480
Speaker 5: most grown up. Like, I don't know if he's torn

1186
00:52:49,560 --> 00:52:51,480
Speaker 5: his pants at a wedding since he's had children. Now

1187
00:52:51,520 --> 00:52:53,480
Speaker 5: he's got two. Is he gonna be going his heart

1188
00:52:53,520 --> 00:52:56,160
Speaker 5: on the dance floor? If he does, we're gonna guilt

1189
00:52:56,200 --> 00:52:58,080
Speaker 5: him into it right where you're like, if you're if

1190
00:52:58,120 --> 00:52:59,840
Speaker 5: he's taking it easy, like Murph, what do you do?

1191
00:53:00,520 --> 00:53:04,000
Speaker 5: Rip your pants out up, somebody, fire up, get low.

1192
00:53:04,080 --> 00:53:06,680
Speaker 5: We got to tear up at her, tear the club up,

1193
00:53:06,800 --> 00:53:08,200
Speaker 5: tear to pants up, Murph.

1194
00:53:10,280 --> 00:53:11,160
Speaker 2: Keep us posted on that.

1195
00:53:11,440 --> 00:53:12,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, he also.

1196
00:53:14,080 --> 00:53:14,440
Speaker 4: Go ahead.

1197
00:53:15,200 --> 00:53:17,279
Speaker 5: He loves he loves like this move, you know, like

1198
00:53:17,360 --> 00:53:20,560
Speaker 5: he loves a cross to a thrust move. And I

1199
00:53:20,600 --> 00:53:23,160
Speaker 5: think when you go on the low side, that's when

1200
00:53:24,880 --> 00:53:27,120
Speaker 5: for sure you don't need to be doing the splits.

1201
00:53:27,120 --> 00:53:29,760
Speaker 5: I mean, if your pants are tiny, yeah, yeah, then you're.

1202
00:53:29,600 --> 00:53:30,160
Speaker 2: Gonna rip them.

1203
00:53:30,200 --> 00:53:31,440
Speaker 5: You don't need to be doing the splits at.
