1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:02,440
Speaker 1: And then what do I do with it? Just sort

2
00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:04,640
Speaker 1: of fight it towards the star, not towards the cameras.

3
00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:07,200

15
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:44,640
Speaker 3: look at the all NBA teams that were announced late

16
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 3: last week. We'll tee up tonight's big Game four in

17
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 3: Minnesota between the Thunder and Wolves.

18
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 1: But first, the.

19
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 3: New York Knicks remain alive task Melice in the Eastern

20
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 3: Conference Finals. Carl Anthony Towns say his full name, score

21
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 3: twenty of his twenty four points in the fourth quarter

22
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 3: as the Knicks came back from twenty points down to

23
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:07,400
Speaker 3: beat the Pacers one oh six, one hundred in Game

24
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:09,839
Speaker 3: three on Sunday. He saved their.

25
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:14,319
Speaker 1: Season, saved their season, saved the day. Coming into the

26
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:17,759
Speaker 1: fourth quarter, Karl Anthony Towons had four points on two

27
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:20,960
Speaker 1: of eight field goal shooting. It was looking like things

28
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 1: could go poorly. You know, Jalen Brunson was in foul trouble.

29
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 1: He would come back in the fourth quarter pick up

30
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 1: his fifth in this one as well. But in the

31
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:32,320
Speaker 1: fourth Kat went off twenty points, eight rebounds, three threes

32
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 1: and an assist. He was aggressive looking for his threes.

33
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 1: One came off in offensive rebound, one came off a screen,

34
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 1: one came him handling the ball in a pick and roll,

35
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 1: popping over the top. That's the three kinds of three

36
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 1: pointers there are. He was driving. He started the fourth

37
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 1: quarter with that three pointer off the offensive rebound. Then

38
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 1: he catches the ball in the corner with Turner on him.

39
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 1: Reggie thought he was gonna shoot a three. Couple of

40
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 1: jab steps, a couple of jab steps, really hard, drive

41
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 1: into Turner's body, drops steps, some finishes over the top,

42
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 1: then he got delon right underneath, bringing the ball up

43
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 1: in a transition situation, and then another transition running the court,

44
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 1: finishes at the hoop, goes into the stanchion. Could have

45
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:10,799
Speaker 1: been an and one, missed the free throw, but still

46
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:14,360
Speaker 1: incredible stuff from Towns contributed to the first seventeen points

47
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 1: for the Knicks in the fourth quarter. When you consider

48
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,360
Speaker 1: the situation the conference finals, his team is down, they're

49
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 1: losing this game. Brunson isn't playing well, he's in foul trouble.

50
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 1: This is like maybe the best ten minutes of Karl

51
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:30,080
Speaker 1: Anthony Town's career. You mentioned it when we were watching

52
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 1: Game one. Skeets. Every time this guy scores, to go

53
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:35,919
Speaker 1: back down the other side of the court, he does

54
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 1: a Sammy socil hop. Yeah, and he was hopping like

55
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 1: crazy in this one. I don't know what the solution

56
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 1: is for Indiana, but they did not have one last night.

57
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, that was so fun to watch him go off

58
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 5: in that fourth because it looked terrible to start this

59
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:50,360
Speaker 5: game for him. He had three fouls in the first

60
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 5: half that were all bad. Yeah, he bumped Andrew Nemhart

61
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 5: at mid court for no frigging reason. Then he had

62
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,640
Speaker 5: a moving screen. Then he had Tyres Halberton in the

63
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 5: post and did the hook which probably should have been

64
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 5: called a foul on Tyr's haliburn before that hook, But

65
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 5: why are you hucking Tyrey's alburn. You can just take

66
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 5: him in the post, you can dominate him. But as

67
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 5: you said, Trey only two made shots in that first half,

68
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,360
Speaker 5: two made shots going into the fourth quarter, and then

69
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 5: especially with Jalen Brunson on the bench, you needed this

70
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:19,360
Speaker 5: guy's points. He was extremely important. You could hear Reggie

71
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 5: Miller and stan Ban Gundhia on the call at all times.

72
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 5: Who's going to score for this next team? Well, first

73
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 5: to get them to that fourth quarter, it was the

74
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 5: guy filling in.

75
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:27,800
Speaker 4: For Jalen Brunson.

76
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 5: It was Deuceduce McBride went on a seven to zero

77
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 5: run and at the end of that third quarter to

78
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 5: get them a little bit closer. And then those cat

79
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 5: buckets were just sexy. The sexy drop step in the post,

80
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 5: that the blow by Turner, then the dunk, and then

81
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 5: that three point shot with two guys on the power

82
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 5: forward and the center, with Miles Turner and Pascal Siakam

83
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 5: up in his face. I know Towns calls himself the

84
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 5: best seven or best three point big man. Shooter three,

85
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 5: I can't even say yeah, and the way he did

86
00:03:56,760 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 5: it against both those guys in their eye, it was

87
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 5: entirely true in that play. So you go from a

88
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 5: great Game one he had thirty five in Game one,

89
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 5: to Game two where he doesn't play the fourth quarter,

90
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 5: to Game three where he gets even better. And that's

91
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 5: why it's hard to be a Nix man. I mean,

92
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 5: I would have a heart attack multiple times throughout this

93
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,920
Speaker 5: postseason because this team, the first team since they started

94
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 5: tracking this thing, to win three playoff games in which

95
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 5: they trailed by at least twenty points, and they've all

96
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:24,600
Speaker 5: come on the road. So increase the amount of heart

97
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 5: attacks for these fans. I mean at home. They're three

98
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 5: and five in this postseason, but they keep coming back.

99
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 5: We've got six comebacks of twenty or more in the

100
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 5: postseason overall, and five of them have been done by

101
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 5: these two teams in this series.

102
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 4: It's just so fun. This series is ridiculously fun.

103
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, cat Man again, all those threes, like you said,

104
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:43,600
Speaker 3: all the attacking. I love that one where he cut

105
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:45,840
Speaker 3: through the lane, well time cut. I guess he sort

106
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,040
Speaker 3: of dunked over Namhardt that wasn't And one that one,

107
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 3: he did hit the free throw, then he splashed another three.

108
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 3: At that point, he had scored or assisted on twenty

109
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 3: two of the next twenty four points. In the fourth quarter,

110
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,920
Speaker 3: it was all him and he saved them. And yeah,

111
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 3: he had his fourth foul crashing into siakam On like

112
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 3: an offensive rebound attempt. It was again sort of a sloppy,

113
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,479
Speaker 3: dumb foul. That was eight forty five to go in

114
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 3: the third quarter. Tibbs wisely there stuck with him. Yeah,

115
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:13,919
Speaker 3: he's got the four fouls, but we got to have

116
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 3: him out there. And that's something Tibbs rarely really does.

117
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 3: And let's talk about the beginning of the game. Something

118
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 3: Tibbs also really does is he switched the starting lineup

119
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:25,159
Speaker 3: Mitchell Robinson into the starting lineup in place at Josh Hart. Now,

120
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 3: I guess mixed results. It started okay, like Mitchell Robinson

121
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 3: was grabbing some offensive rebounds. He had a nice one

122
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 3: where resealed Ben Shephard under the rim. Two in the

123
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:34,599
Speaker 3: first quarter, had an easy dunk like it was positive.

124
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 3: I guess they were up eleven six to start. Now,

125
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,280
Speaker 3: obviously that all went back to Indiana. They built the

126
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 3: big lead, But what do you think there of TIB's

127
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 3: decision to start Mitchell Robinson and then obviously end this

128
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 3: game though with Josh Hart, who had a bunch of

129
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 3: rebound highlights, which you know as sickos love.

130
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, what Josh Hart ended up playing thirty four minutes

131
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 1: in this game. It's like the third most of anybody

132
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 1: on the team. So yeah, it changed the start of

133
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 1: the game. I don't really think it had all that

134
00:05:58,320 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 1: much of an effect. If anything, I thought that Josh

135
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:02,479
Speaker 1: was kind of thrown off by coming off the bench.

136
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:04,599
Speaker 1: The Knicks bench didn't really do much in the first

137
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 1: half of this game, and then, like you're saying, completely

138
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 1: turned it on in the second half. I guess it

139
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 1: does take away the chance of like hack a Mitch,

140
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 1: You're not gonna start fouling this guy at the start

141
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 1: of the first quarter, So that's something going the next way.

142
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:19,920
Speaker 1: They also weren't down by fifteen at the end of

143
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 1: the starters run. The starters for the Knicks have been

144
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 1: terrible in general this playoffs, even going into the season.

145
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 1: For whatever reason. It's their worst lineup, but their most

146
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 1: used lineup. That's Tibbs for you. But he also closed

147
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 1: with the starters in this one and it worked out completely.

148
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 1: And I don't know, I think that Cat being in

149
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 1: foul trouble and Brunson and being in foul trouble kind

150
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 1: of helped the Knicks. They both played better when one

151
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 1: of them is sitting like Towns didn't score very much

152
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 1: once Brunton checked back into the game. The last two minutes,

153
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 1: Brunson hit like that nice floater, got to the free

154
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:53,280
Speaker 1: throw line for a couple. They don't always maximize each other,

155
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 1: but when Towns is the only scorer out there, Reggie Miller,

156
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 1: even though he was asking a million times, who's going

157
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 1: to score for this team, it's gonna be the guy

158
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,600
Speaker 1: who's the leading scorer. It's Brunson when he's out there,

159
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:05,480
Speaker 1: and it's Towns when he's the one out there. They

160
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 1: just kept running it through him and just really really

161
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 1: great stuff. I would have liked to see maybe one

162
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 1: double team from the Pacers. They were just letting Myles

163
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 1: Turner get roasted every single time. He had a terrible

164
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 1: fourth quarter, couldn't make a shot on the offensive end,

165
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 1: and then he was the one getting scored on for

166
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 1: most of these baskets by Towns. A lot of them

167
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 1: were drives, where he's just too big and strong for Turner,

168
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 1: but he lost them on that backcut, completely turned his head,

169
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 1: easy dive for Towns for the dunk there shooting over

170
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 1: the top of him. Siakam guards Towns better. He stood

171
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 1: him up a couple of times here in the fourth quarter. Now,

172
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,239
Speaker 1: he's probably not gonna play a full forty eight on Towns,

173
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 1: but I think that is the move for the Pacers

174
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 1: if they want to eliminate Towns in these sort of scenarios,

175
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 1: because it definitely ain't gonna be Tony Bradley that guy

176
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 1: was playing in the fourth quarter. Are you kidding me?

177
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 1: Crazy stuff from Rick Carlisle. And then Turner has proven

178
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 1: that he can't handle him really in this series when

179
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 1: Towns is rolling.

180
00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:00,679
Speaker 5: That's hilarious in that Pascal Siakams started against Carl Anthony

181
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 5: Towns in this game because he put Mitchell Robinson at

182
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 5: the five. It's going Mitch versus Turner and Pascal versus

183
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 5: Cat and again Kat was two of seven in the

184
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 5: first half, lots of fouls, foul trouble, not looking good.

185
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 5: Pascal's doing a very good job in that sense. But

186
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 5: really it was sort of a blessing that Jalen Brunson

187
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 5: was out in that fourth quarter because Carl just started

188
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 5: so hot. Jalen Brunson only played a minute and forty

189
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 5: six of that fourth quarter. He came on for just

190
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 5: a quick, quick, little blip while Towns was hot, and

191
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 5: then he had to go back to the bench with

192
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 5: foul number five.

193
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 4: So this guy was just.

194
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 5: Worked out in towns favor because he was the guy.

195
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 5: It is interesting when they traded Julius Randall for Karl

196
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 5: Anthony Towns, I thought, Okay, the best scenario here is

197
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:44,560
Speaker 5: to put a center beside him like he did with

198
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 5: Rudy Gober in Minnesota. When you had the best defense,

199
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 5: it's when you play with the center. But they didn't

200
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 5: go get another one, and Mitchell Robinson was hurt basically

201
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:55,359
Speaker 5: until March and so you couldn't even try it out.

202
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 5: Kudos to TIBs for trying it out in a series

203
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 5: where I mean they coming into this series they were

204
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 5: bad that with Karl Anthony Towns as the five. There

205
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,719
Speaker 5: are minus four point seven per hundred possessions in the

206
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 5: first two rounds against Detroit and in that miracle series

207
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:13,080
Speaker 5: against Boston because they somehow come back.

208
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:15,840
Speaker 4: This is what this team, does they get do they

209
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 4: get back? And somehow?

210
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 5: I mean this, all of the good lineups for them

211
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,679
Speaker 5: are when town sits even, even heart sits even. But

212
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 5: those are just they are. It's a small sample, uh,

213
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 5: And it works out perfectly that he plays most of

214
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 5: the minutes and Mitch just plays some of the minutes

215
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 5: because you saw it out there. I mean, Mitch was

216
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 5: amazing on the offensive boards. But the guy can't do

217
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 5: it for many, many minutes at a time. We always

218
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 5: go through the scenarios of his past where he gets injured,

219
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:43,959
Speaker 5: and so you know he can't do it.

220
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:44,680
Speaker 4: For forty eight minutes.

221
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 5: That being said, Pacers fans are looking at that like

222
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 5: third to fourth quarter. Obviously aaron Ne Smith went down.

223
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 5: Yeah for a good it did it did? And I

224
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:56,199
Speaker 5: watched every single Pacers possession. Was it them or was

225
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 5: it the next Really the NIXT dialed in big time,

226
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:01,199
Speaker 5: and I think Duce McBride on the defensive side was

227
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 5: a little bit of a blessing because John Bruns was out.

228
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:07,560
Speaker 5: Duce McBride fights so well over screens just to keep

229
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:10,079
Speaker 5: that defense going. He does it better than mckel bridges

230
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 5: even he really really fights for a little teeny tiny guy,

231
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 5: so that helped up. I just think in general, the

232
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 5: Knicks were ready to scrap and the Pacers didn't even

233
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 5: have an assist.

234
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 4: Pacers didn't have.

235
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 5: An assist in the fourth quarter. Yeah, the first quarter,

236
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,320
Speaker 5: all year, all playoffs, all regular season, which was weird.

237
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 5: But the next were dialed in for this one. They

238
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 5: get down, that's when they played.

239
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:30,080
Speaker 3: They need to start games down twenty points and then

240
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 3: they give themselves a better chance. Yeah, they were scrambling

241
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:34,320
Speaker 3: much better on defense. Part of that was personnel. The

242
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 3: other part of this was Duce McBride picking up three

243
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 3: fouls in like, yep, what was it, eighty seconds? Whatever

244
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:41,560
Speaker 3: the hell it was. It was so damn quick, you're like, what,

245
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 3: he's got three already? He comes out and then instead

246
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 3: of campaign Tis pushed the right button, instead went with

247
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,080
Speaker 3: Delon right. Glad I held onto some Delon right stock

248
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:51,560
Speaker 3: been a big fan of his, but he gave him

249
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:54,080
Speaker 3: a little something more defensively, and then Landry Shamont got

250
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,319
Speaker 3: in there as well and actually helped to kill him,

251
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 3: didn't kill him, had that corner three, and those guys

252
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 3: were playing at least defensively and really helping them The

253
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,560
Speaker 3: scrambling part, because yeah, the Pacers just did not for

254
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 3: the first time a long time, looked like the Pacers.

255
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 1: No.

256
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:08,079
Speaker 3: In that second, I was like, oh, this is a

257
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:10,320
Speaker 3: different squad here. This is not you know, the free wheel.

258
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 3: And I thought Tyree's Haliburton too. You know, if you

259
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,200
Speaker 3: went back and looked at the game tape, he could

260
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 3: have been more aggressive. He was getting switches, he was

261
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 3: even getting the spots, and he was just sort of

262
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:22,560
Speaker 3: still playmaking a little too much. He gets compared to

263
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 3: Steve Nash a lot of times, and I see it,

264
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 3: and that was like sort of the bad version of

265
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:29,680
Speaker 3: Nash where you're like, maybe try and take over here, man,

266
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:32,080
Speaker 3: Maybe try and kill him and put your foot on

267
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 3: their neck and end this series. But he's just such

268
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 3: a great playmaker. He wants to pass first. I thought

269
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 3: he was turning down some opportunities that he was getting

270
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:40,320
Speaker 3: good looks at and he just was kicking out instead

271
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 3: to corners.

272
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 1: He had some three point shots he could have taken.

273
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 1: I thought in the fourth corner. I thought nem Hard

274
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:45,680
Speaker 1: was the same. They were just passing him up on

275
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 1: a night that they didn't shoot very well. Just five

276
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:49,679
Speaker 1: of twenty five five is a bad number. Twenty five

277
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 1: is maybe even a worse number. That's a low attempt

278
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 1: for a Pacers team that they want to score inside

279
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 1: is their number one thing. But they are good on

280
00:11:57,400 --> 00:11:59,680
Speaker 1: the kickouts, and this is their first bad shooting game

281
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 1: of the playoffs. They've been like a fifty to forty

282
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:03,960
Speaker 1: ninety team basically as a team, and probably not close

283
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,679
Speaker 1: to ninety on free throw since Siakam has been a brickfast,

284
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:08,839
Speaker 1: but fifty and forty for sure. This is the first

285
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 1: time they haven't shot the ball well. But a lot

286
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 1: of it was the Knicks defense. I thought kind of

287
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 1: an indicative possession was in the fourth quarter four minutes left,

288
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:20,119
Speaker 1: Bridges and Towns of all people blow up a Haliburton

289
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 1: turner pick and roll two times. Haliburton can't get anywhere.

290
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 1: He might could have taken a mid range jumper, but

291
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 1: he didn't want that, so they flow into their turner.

292
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 1: Nie Smith dribble hand off. Neie Smith tries to go

293
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 1: about o j nnobi OG's all over him. Drive to

294
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 1: the right stops him, tries to spin back left stops him.

295
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:37,600
Speaker 1: Neie Smith goes for the floater and Og just sends

296
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 1: it into the frows of incredible block. But it was

297
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 1: like the Pacers are so good offensively because they don't

298
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 1: just have one action. They have one action into the

299
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 1: next one. Ben. If that's not working, we're switching sides.

300
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 1: And the Knicks were all over it in the fourth

301
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:54,200
Speaker 1: quarter playing defense, blowing up the first stuff that was happening,

302
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 1: and then still having enough juice left on the end

303
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 1: to finish it and then actually grabbing rebounds at the

304
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:00,560
Speaker 1: end as well. They are the bigger team, and they

305
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 1: looked bigger, I thought in the fourth quarter. With Towns

306
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 1: as the defensive five, Mitchell Robinson played thirty seconds. Yeah,

307
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter. So awesome from Towns on the

308
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:11,320
Speaker 1: offensive end, but for him to play as well as

309
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 1: he did defensively was huge. A little concern to Kiss,

310
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:16,079
Speaker 1: I would say, for the way he was grabbing at

311
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,200
Speaker 1: his knee in the fourth quarter. He asked out in

312
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 1: the last couple of seconds here after Brunson checked in,

313
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 1: and you could see him every time he was jogging

314
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:25,600
Speaker 1: down the court, flexing it, trying to get it feeling right.

315
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 1: Who knows what sort of impact that has going into

316
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 1: Game four, but they're gonna need this sort of Towns again.

317
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was scary there. He started grabbing his knee

318
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 5: when nothing happened. I mean it was just a upandow. Yeah, possibly,

319
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 5: and then he got beat because he was hobbling both

320
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:46,119
Speaker 5: ends of the floor. But kudos to TIBs for continuing

321
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 5: with that same rotation. I thought Shammitt in the first half,

322
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:52,959
Speaker 5: you know, they hit him and Delon Wright weren't all

323
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:56,320
Speaker 5: that productive. They were minus seven or Delon Wright was

324
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 5: in those that big stretch of his but Tid keeps

325
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 5: with the guys and they fought in the fourth quarter

326
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 5: to get them back. Kudos to them, Kudos to that team.

327
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 5: And that was just an incredible fight where they covered

328
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:12,960
Speaker 5: every guy and their end result, the end move for

329
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:15,439
Speaker 5: the Pacers in a couple of possessions was Aarony Smith

330
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 5: in a post move.

331
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:17,559
Speaker 4: I mean, that ain't gonna work.

332
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 3: So they were like they sort of let the knicks

333
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 3: off the hook too, and then Brunson was out there,

334
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 3: like there was like five straight possessions. They didn't include

335
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 3: him in any action, could have like fouled him out

336
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 3: and didn't you know, really go at him all that much,

337
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 3: sort of gave him a free pass there, and I

338
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 3: get it, like that's sort of how the Pacers are

339
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 3: not going to like sort of exploit something and like

340
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 3: run their offense through one guy because it's like ping ping, ping, ping,

341
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 3: ping side to side, like you said, Trey, So you

342
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 3: don't want to like veer away from that too much.

343
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 3: But maybe a missed opportunity, I will say, though. There

344
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 3: was a lot of gel and Brunson looking down at

345
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 3: TIBs like my coming back in here, man, I'm the

346
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 3: clutch player of the year. Is a close game, and

347
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 3: he sort of like continued to stick with those guys

348
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 3: like you said, then got him back in And what

349
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 3: did Brunson do?

350
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 1: Hit?

351
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 3: That was a tough shot that little like I don't know,

352
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 3: sideways loader. I think Nie Smith draped all over him

353
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 3: and got it over it.

354
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 4: That was a huge place.

355
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 3: That was awesome. So came through obviously with that one.

356
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 3: But this was the cat game this guy. Man, what

357
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 3: a roller coaster ride with this guy. I saw CBS Sports, right,

358
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:20,120
Speaker 3: We've seen every version of Towns in this series. The shooter,

359
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 3: the aggressor, the pacifist, the frustration fowler, the playmaker, the

360
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 3: turnover machine. It's all in there, yep. It is from

361
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 3: game to game you get different versions of Karl Anthony Towns,

362
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 3: but picked the right time here and in Game three,

363
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 3: with the season on the line.

364
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 1: Game to game, quarter, quarter to quarter.

365
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 3: That's what I meant to say.

366
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 1: This guy got benched in the fourth quarter of Game two,

367
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 1: and if he would have played similarly in the fourth quarter,

368
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,360
Speaker 1: he is the number one scapegoat for the New York Knicks.

369
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:48,840
Speaker 1: I think after the way games one and two went,

370
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 1: and then if you would have continued playing four points

371
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 1: for two for eight shooting through the first three quarters

372
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 1: and then he just completely caught fire. It was crazy.

373
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 1: Tim's completely out coached Rick Carlyle and this one, like,

374
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 1: there are way is to not let Karl Anthony Towns

375
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 1: be the only guy scoring. When Reggie Miller is calling

376
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 1: it out, it's because you look at the lineups and like, literally,

377
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 1: who is going to score now? Reggie was saying it

378
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 1: when the Pacers had Siakam and Halliburton on the court,

379
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 1: who's gonna score? I don't know, maybe there are two

380
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 1: leading scorers. Yeah, but I did agree with him on

381
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 1: the Knicks side, Yes.

382
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, yes, the guy who scored thirty nine in game number.

383
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 1: Two, who's gonna score for the pacers here. Well, I

384
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 1: don't know their top two guys maybe.

385
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 4: But yeah, he was right.

386
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 5: Yeah Towns obviously for picking up for John Brunson who

387
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 5: had a bad night, mckel Bridges who had a bad

388
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 5: night overall, both six of eighteen in this game, and Oji,

389
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 5: who never really gets talked about, although we talked about

390
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 5: his block. The guy came through with big three. Yeah,

391
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 5: he was really good.

392
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 4: He was feeling it, he was into it.

393
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 5: There is something to be said when your number one

394
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 5: guy goes out. We got to do something here, and

395
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 5: he definitely played that part in this game overall as

396
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 5: well with three monster blocks. Oji just freaking does it

397
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 5: and Reggie Miller likes to say o G so it's

398
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:03,960
Speaker 5: fun to hear that as well.

399
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 3: And Josh Hart coming off the bench, I think you're right, Tray.

400
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 3: He sort of was like, you know, I hadn't done

401
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 3: this in a long time. A little weird maybe in

402
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 3: the first half, but man, the guy comes through eight points,

403
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:17,359
Speaker 3: ten boards for assists, he had a steal doing Josh

404
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 3: Hart like things, and man, he had a couple of

405
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:21,639
Speaker 3: rebounds to a Hue. That one rebound was like the

406
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 3: game saving rebound.

407
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:22,800
Speaker 4: Again.

408
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 3: We always joked like we love a rebound highlight. That

409
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 3: was one of them that you would put in the pack.

410
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:29,160
Speaker 3: That was massive, like one of the smallest guys out there,

411
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 3: just come screaming in to grab that.

412
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 4: One in traffic and he gets hurt while doing it.

413
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:35,880
Speaker 5: Yeah to the ground, classic, classic, Josh Hart.

414
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:37,399
Speaker 4: What freaking series?

415
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:37,920
Speaker 1: Oh?

416
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:41,920
Speaker 3: You know this series is amazing? All three games great?

417
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:42,240
Speaker 4: Yeh.

418
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:46,400
Speaker 5: Never thought I'd think about Tony Bradley since, I mean,

419
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:48,719
Speaker 5: we watched him pick up who was it when they

420
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:53,879
Speaker 5: played the Bulls? He picked right right Now we've watched

421
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:56,400
Speaker 5: him here in the G League this year, playing right

422
00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:57,280
Speaker 5: in front of us.

423
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:00,440
Speaker 4: Now he's playing in the playoffs.

424
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:02,719
Speaker 1: Tea. Probably the game Three's that's the problem. It's like

425
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:05,399
Speaker 1: the Pacers have to play the worst guy in the series.

426
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:07,960
Speaker 1: It's either gonna be Thomas Brian or Tony Bradley. But

427
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,120
Speaker 1: they got to play a big guy because Mitchell Robinson

428
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 1: has size that the Pacers don't have. Same with Towns.

429
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:14,879
Speaker 1: If they'rever running a double big out there, they gotta

430
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:17,200
Speaker 1: play one of these seven footers and they both stink

431
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:19,879
Speaker 1: like Thomas Bryant is somehow worse than Tony Bradley and

432
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 1: Tony Bradley played in the G League the entire season,

433
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 1: but this playoffs has taught me to put a little

434
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 1: respect on the second quarter. I think it's the worst

435
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:30,160
Speaker 1: quarter in a basketball game. But tyres Halliberg and got

436
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 1: a dunk puts Indiana up twenty with three minutes and

437
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 1: twenty seconds left in the second quarter. He's grabbing his

438
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:39,199
Speaker 1: jersey show in Indiana. He's yelling to the fans. But

439
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 1: the Knicks scored on four of their six final possessions

440
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:43,960
Speaker 1: in the quarter, a ten to three run. They turned

441
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 1: a twenty point lead into a thirteen point lead, gave

442
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 1: themselves a little bit of life going into halftime. And

443
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:51,480
Speaker 1: I gotta say the turning point in the game was

444
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:55,400
Speaker 1: when Tony Bradley took a three pointer seven for fifteen

445
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:58,199
Speaker 1: in his career. That was his first playoff attempt and

446
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:00,720
Speaker 1: the Pacers were outscored by twenty five from that moment.

447
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:03,160
Speaker 3: Oh geez, the Tony Bradley three that missed.

448
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 1: I'll never forget it.

449
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 3: I was big.

450
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 1: I've seen his two biggest moments in his career. One

451
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:08,960
Speaker 1: was getting picked up by Steven Adams, and I saw

452
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 1: him go five for five and a fourth quarter of

453
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:13,399
Speaker 1: a playoff game when his team was losing by thirty

454
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:15,360
Speaker 1: Oh okay, yeah, I was on fire that game. Yeah yeah,

455
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 1: he had a plus. He has a positive plus minus

456
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:19,679
Speaker 1: in that game. It's amazing. Was lost by thirty one,

457
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:20,399
Speaker 1: but he was a plus one.

458
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 3: It was against the Bucks.

459
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 1: Yeah.

460
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:23,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, So we've seen the best Bradley moment. Yeah, we've

461
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:25,960
Speaker 5: also seen the best Thomas Bryant moment when he closed

462
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:28,639
Speaker 5: out the Cleveland Cavaliers in that third quarter. He was

463
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:30,680
Speaker 5: dropping point What do you have like he had I'm

464
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:33,200
Speaker 5: looking here at the box score. He had nine overall.

465
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:35,160
Speaker 5: I think you know, eight straight in that third quarter

466
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 5: or something like that close to it. Anyways, he was

467
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 5: awesome and that's serious. But they can't play him in

468
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 5: this series just because of Mitch Robinson coming off the

469
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:44,399
Speaker 5: benchmin now he's starting.

470
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:45,680
Speaker 4: Maybe that change is probably.

471
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:47,400
Speaker 1: Not Thus Thomas Bryant moment is his post up during

472
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:48,920
Speaker 1: Lebron's record setting shot.

473
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:53,120
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah, give the most memorable remember four? Yeah? Exactly. Yeah.

474
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 5: You remember both Tony Bradley and Thomas Bryant for things

475
00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 5: that aren't basketball plays.

476
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:02,720
Speaker 1: Really, yeah, there are they the same person? Tony Bradley

477
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 1: two first names, Thomas Bryant. Two first names, both seven

478
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 1: feet both not that good in the NBA because they're

479
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:09,400
Speaker 1: seven feet.

480
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 3: Tall, same initials B. Yeah, wow, maybe.

481
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:14,879
Speaker 1: It's possible if you put them together, you might have

482
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:19,160
Speaker 1: a decent third center, a pretty good decent third string center.

483
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:20,680
Speaker 3: Two other things that happened at the end the first

484
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:22,200
Speaker 3: half that you were pointing out there that like the

485
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:24,440
Speaker 3: Knicks stopped like a four on two pacers fast break.

486
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:26,920
Speaker 3: They probably should have capitalized on that. Good job by

487
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 3: New York still fighting to end that first half. And

488
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:32,400
Speaker 3: then yeah, Bridges hit that three in the corner again

489
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 3: that got it to like thirteen, and you're like, Okay,

490
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 3: maybe there's a chance, maybe they're still in this because

491
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 3: at that point when Haliburton's dancing and popping the jersey,

492
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 3: it was like, oh, oh, this one's getting out of control.

493
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:45,119
Speaker 3: Though it is the next and they love being down

494
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 3: twenty and they come back again. Any other random notes

495
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:52,639
Speaker 3: or observations from this entertaining game three or this unpredictable series,

496
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 3: I think is what Brunson's called it.

497
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:57,639
Speaker 5: Yeah, a ton of random notes. You saw Aaron Nesmith

498
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:00,440
Speaker 5: step on Jalen Bronson's foot and then his hand and

499
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:04,200
Speaker 5: like immediately after each other, like foot. Then he goes

500
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 5: down hand. You just never seen that really new balance,

501
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:09,720
Speaker 5: more like no balance that he's wearing on his feet.

502
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:12,639
Speaker 3: Also, is Brunson like got his ankle injured in every

503
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 3: playoff game. Playoff game, his ankle is like stepping on

504
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,400
Speaker 3: somebody's or he's just getting stepped on. I guess that's

505
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:22,640
Speaker 3: the better way to put it. Feels like he's either

506
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:24,919
Speaker 3: getting his foot stepped on or he's twisting his ankle

507
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:27,920
Speaker 3: so many times throughout this postseason. Obviously generally comes back,

508
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:29,719
Speaker 3: but man, guy's going through it right now.

509
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:32,400
Speaker 5: Sorry, oh no, that's all right, done with that one.

510
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:35,440
Speaker 5: Jimmy gold Steen again sitting court side. That guy comes

511
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 5: to every basketball game, and our friends at the Athletic

512
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:41,840
Speaker 5: have pointed out that he flies commercial, but he also

513
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 5: flies coach. You think a guy who's obviously incredibly rich

514
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:50,920
Speaker 5: would either you know, fly private or fly first class.

515
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 5: The guy flies coach every single time, and that's how

516
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 5: he's rich.

517
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 3: I guess he's saving money.

518
00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:59,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, how much money has he saved by flying coach?

519
00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:02,199
Speaker 5: He seems like a smaller gentleman, so you see, I'm

520
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:04,640
Speaker 5: sure he can fit in coach that's true pretty well,

521
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 5: shouldn't be a problem.

522
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:07,479
Speaker 3: But here's my question. What does he do with his

523
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:09,160
Speaker 3: hat on a plane?

524
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:10,400
Speaker 1: That's one of the most Have.

525
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:13,400
Speaker 3: You ever seen him without a hat? That cowboy hat?

526
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 3: So does he take it off? Put it up in

527
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 3: the storage compartment?

528
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:17,240
Speaker 4: Interesting?

529
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:19,239
Speaker 3: Why does he wear it like? Puts it over his

530
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:20,600
Speaker 3: face like to snooze?

531
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 1: Now, of course I follow Jimmy Goldstein on Instagram. Okay,

532
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:26,080
Speaker 1: why wouldn't you. He does wear different hats.

533
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:26,960
Speaker 3: Okay, so.

534
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 1: Somebody's wearing Yeah, he has a like a baseball travel cap.

535
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:36,359
Speaker 1: I guess comedy lands. He gets his uh his hat

536
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 1: box from the from the overhead storage container and puts

537
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:42,320
Speaker 1: it on. Okay, travel hat off, a business hat on,

538
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:45,120
Speaker 1: and the business hat is a leather fedora of course, of.

539
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:46,400
Speaker 3: Course, as it always is.

540
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:50,520
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, yes, also sitting courtside like Kevin Harlan started

541
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:53,800
Speaker 1: the game with from Racers to Pacers showing the Indy

542
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:58,359
Speaker 1: five hundred uh Indianapolis Motor Speedway straight to Gamebridge Field House.

543
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:01,080
Speaker 1: Then they had Alex Pollow, winner of the Indy five

544
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 1: hundred there showing his when they gave him a wreath.

545
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 3: Basically horse.

546
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:11,920
Speaker 1: A horse man. So he was there, which confused a

547
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:14,000
Speaker 1: lot of people because there was a guy sitting courtside

548
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:18,040
Speaker 1: right behind, right behind Rick Carlisle. I think that was

549
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:22,320
Speaker 1: dressed in a full driver's a helmet. Hold the helmet,

550
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:24,879
Speaker 1: I know, commitment to the bit. I loved it.

551
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, I thought that was him.

552
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 1: I think it definitely wasn't him.

553
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 3: But very strange, very strange. But have you seen that

554
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 3: Indiana is now zero to four all time when playing

555
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 3: on the same day as the Indianapolis five hundred was

556
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:43,160
Speaker 3: run number one. Also, I went down a rabbit hole

557
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 3: because Harlan when he was showing the winner of five hundred,

558
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:48,359
Speaker 3: he said over three hundred thousand people at the event.

559
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:53,000
Speaker 3: I was like, what three hundred thousand people? How the

560
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 3: hell was there three hundredodand people? I'm like, was there

561
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 3: multiple race days? Is that what he meant? So I

562
00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 3: started looking it up. Oh my god, this is nuts.

563
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:04,000
Speaker 3: That speedway can see two hundred and fifty thousand, and

564
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:07,000
Speaker 3: then after general admission is accounted for, the speedway can

565
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:10,879
Speaker 3: hold up to three hundred and fifty thousand fans. That

566
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 3: is more than twice the size of the next largest venue.

567
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:16,120
Speaker 3: You want to take a guess at the next biggest

568
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 3: American sports venue.

569
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:19,760
Speaker 1: Next biggest American sports venue.

570
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:22,520
Speaker 3: It can hold like one hundred and seventy thousand apparently.

571
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 1: University of Michigan football Stadium's good.

572
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:28,920
Speaker 3: Guess no Churchill downs Okay with the race, yeah, racetrack.

573
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 3: So I don't know, I get I got shook by

574
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 3: those numbers.

575
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:34,159
Speaker 1: That's the population.

576
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 3: That's too big, man, that's too many people. And I

577
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:39,600
Speaker 3: don't know if this is real, but I saw one

578
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:41,359
Speaker 3: of those things like they show the size of the

579
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 3: speedway and it's like you don't really actually understand how

580
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 3: big it is, Like you apparently you can put the

581
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:48,280
Speaker 3: entire like Vatican City and it will take up like

582
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:50,480
Speaker 3: only one quarter of it. Again, I have no idea

583
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:52,199
Speaker 3: if this is true. This is the Internet showing me this,

584
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:54,600
Speaker 3: but I do believe the series, the sheer size of

585
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:55,919
Speaker 3: it is something else. Well, it's got to be to

586
00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:57,920
Speaker 3: put three hundred and fifty thousand people in a test, right,

587
00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 3: that's crazy, man, crazy amazing.

588
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 1: Each lap of the oval track is two and a

589
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:07,520
Speaker 1: half miles, so yes, like a mile on each straightaway.

590
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 1: It's huge. It is big.

591
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:09,080
Speaker 3: It's huge.

592
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 1: Yeah.

593
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:11,120
Speaker 3: Yeah. Because it was like people were like, you can

594
00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:13,359
Speaker 3: put Yankee Stadium there and it takes up like no

595
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:15,080
Speaker 3: space within the infield, you know what I mean.

596
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 1: Cool?

597
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 3: Oh, it's pretty good.

598
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:17,480
Speaker 4: That's cool.

599
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:22,720
Speaker 3: Okay, speaking of cool, did you like the room Baby

600
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:25,359
Speaker 3: t shirts that they hand out golden blue T shirts

601
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 3: for for Game three?

602
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:29,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'd like it. Yeah, boom Baby is their thing, right,

603
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:29,680
Speaker 1: That's right?

604
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:32,440
Speaker 3: And then come on, it's a day. This is good

605
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:35,840
Speaker 3: room Baby. I mean I immediately thought of our Fast Friends podcast.

606
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:40,000
Speaker 3: We would always say we would do our our rewatch

607
00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:44,800
Speaker 3: of all the style, So there was that. I got

608
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:47,879
Speaker 3: a few other random notes. One of the most hilarious

609
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:50,280
Speaker 3: turnovers of the season so far. There was like a

610
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 3: weird deflection and it went to half court and Mathron

611
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:55,400
Speaker 3: tried to save it, but he sort of like fumbled

612
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:57,520
Speaker 3: it going out of bounds and it started to like

613
00:25:57,600 --> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 3: go into the back court but he couldn't touch it again,

614
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 3: so he just like decides to block Josh Hart from

615
00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:07,719
Speaker 3: getting at it. I've watched Turner come flying in your

616
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 3: neck sort of try and save it, but the shot

617
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:12,440
Speaker 3: clock expired. My favorite party is like Harlan didn't even

618
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:14,320
Speaker 3: know what to do. He just like remained silent for

619
00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 3: like eight seconds. It was like sort of a weird

620
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:19,760
Speaker 3: one because if Mathrone touches it, it snicks ball.

621
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:22,080
Speaker 5: Okay, yeah, it was Why is Miles Turners trying to

622
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:23,240
Speaker 5: save it? There's nothing to say.

623
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:27,280
Speaker 3: It's like, in his defense, if there was more time

624
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:30,000
Speaker 3: on the clock, he could have tipped it and then

625
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:31,320
Speaker 3: Mathron could have picked it up and they could have

626
00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:38,879
Speaker 3: gone because that would have been fine. Oh, confused to

627
00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:40,960
Speaker 3: there was gonna be two violations. You're right, it was

628
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:43,359
Speaker 3: going to be over and back or travel on Mathrin right,

629
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:44,399
Speaker 3: because he had the ball.

630
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:44,920
Speaker 1: He did touch it.

631
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:48,080
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, anyway, very weird is my point.

632
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:50,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think I made everybody.

633
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:55,879
Speaker 3: Reggie was like, well it killed some time, killed like

634
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:58,879
Speaker 3: seven seconds in the second quarter. But yeah, very very

635
00:26:58,920 --> 00:26:59,440
Speaker 3: funny moment.

636
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 5: Anything else, Yeah, one random note for me, Well, it's

637
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:05,439
Speaker 5: always fun to watch the in arena feed. No commercials,

638
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:07,840
Speaker 5: you just see everything that happens in the arena during

639
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:10,720
Speaker 5: these breaks. Roy Hibbert was there a lot of people there.

640
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:14,359
Speaker 5: Roy Hibbert got put on camera. He's drinking this normal

641
00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:16,920
Speaker 5: looking drink and then he decides, all, I'm gonna crack

642
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:19,480
Speaker 5: a bottle of water and chug it. I guess it's

643
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:22,879
Speaker 5: it's just tradition for everybody on camera to show that

644
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:26,119
Speaker 5: I can chug something. I can chug a beer, because

645
00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:29,359
Speaker 5: that's what the tradition is. I'm here getting drunk. He

646
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 5: just decides to pick up a five hundred miter bottle

647
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:36,320
Speaker 5: of water and gulp, gulp, gulp, golf golp gulp. Help

648
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:40,600
Speaker 5: the whole thing, gal, I don't think so. The sound

649
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:43,680
Speaker 5: was not coming through the speakers. But it's super fun

650
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:47,720
Speaker 5: watching all these things happened, watching that half court or

651
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:54,920
Speaker 5: these halftime shows. Because in game one, this series pretty

652
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:56,480
Speaker 5: pretty specked Mary J.

653
00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:56,959
Speaker 4: Blige.

654
00:27:56,960 --> 00:28:00,600
Speaker 5: Game one, buster rhymes, Game two and then he in three,

655
00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:04,359
Speaker 5: it was Christian and Scooby. They did half court. Great

656
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:06,760
Speaker 5: job by Scoob half time. Scooby is yes, excuse me.

657
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:11,720
Speaker 5: Halftime was fun. Christian killing it. These headstands, handstands, one hand,

658
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:14,919
Speaker 5: one time, one hand handstand, then the two hand handstand

659
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 5: and Scooby's three sixty dunks. But then he came out

660
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:22,119
Speaker 5: for a break midway through the third or something. They

661
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 5: asked him to come out again. Does he get paid

662
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:27,800
Speaker 5: more for that? He did a thing again because he

663
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 5: was that good. I guess at halftime, I guess he

664
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:29,800
Speaker 5: got the one.

665
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:31,280
Speaker 1: What do you mean, what else does he do?

666
00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:33,760
Speaker 3: What do you mean what like did he do the

667
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:34,240
Speaker 3: same thing?

668
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:37,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, basically yeah, yeah Scoob. Well, Christian didn't do anything.

669
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 5: Christian didn't do any more handstands. It was all Scoob. Okay,

670
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:43,960
Speaker 5: Scoob did another three sixty dunk. I think did we

671
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 5: ever tell that story?

672
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:47,120
Speaker 3: By the way, like we know we shot something with

673
00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 3: Scoob Christian Scooby in Paris? Did we don't tell the

674
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:51,200
Speaker 3: story that we hung out with them at the airport

675
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:51,960
Speaker 3: for like an hour?

676
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:54,720
Speaker 1: I don't think we did. No.

677
00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:56,720
Speaker 3: I mean, there's not much to say. But I just

678
00:28:56,760 --> 00:29:01,080
Speaker 3: sat with him, Christian's wife and Scoobs and like it

679
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:03,400
Speaker 3: was like it was crazy how many people come up

680
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:06,400
Speaker 3: like and Scooby though, just like he just wanted food.

681
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:09,920
Speaker 3: He just wanted breakfast. He's pretty demanding.

682
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:11,400
Speaker 1: He always wants a Scooby snack.

683
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:13,280
Speaker 3: It's a bit of a diva.

684
00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 4: Here's the star. I get it.

685
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 3: But then they're like they just sort of ignore him,

686
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:19,600
Speaker 3: and then he chilled out. But I don't know if you

687
00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:22,880
Speaker 3: have anything to add. Just turned it back to Paris

688
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:24,600
Speaker 3: airports with Scoops.

689
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:27,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, Christian was being a little bit of

690
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 6: a diva too, because we were all being divas because

691
00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 6: we couldn't get any food in that goddamn area.

692
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:33,000
Speaker 3: That's an insane terminal.

693
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:34,960
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean we're in Paris, France and you can't

694
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:36,480
Speaker 6: get food, can't get coffee.

695
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 4: That was crazy.

696
00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:39,200
Speaker 6: I had to go to a sushi counter to get

697
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:39,959
Speaker 6: the worst coffee.

698
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:43,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was That was weird sushi coffee.

699
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 1: Yeah. Anyway, a few other podcasts with questions, Yeah, it's awesome,

700
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:49,120
Speaker 1: awesome for.

701
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:53,320
Speaker 3: A few other notes. Back to Regie Millary had a

702
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:56,360
Speaker 3: funny line he said, quote they used every inch of

703
00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:57,880
Speaker 3: that twenty four second shot clock.

704
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:01,719
Speaker 4: I like that.

705
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 1: Actually.

706
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:08,080
Speaker 5: I did like the combo of Reggie and stand band

707
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:11,400
Speaker 5: because Reggie is always he's supporting what's going on on

708
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 5: the floor.

709
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:15,360
Speaker 4: Standard's like, how is that a foul? It's a good balance.

710
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:19,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, bounce uh so close guys to having a Weggie

711
00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:21,160
Speaker 3: Miles turner. That was in the fourth quarter. That was

712
00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 3: actually a big part of the game. He fired one

713
00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:26,160
Speaker 3: from the wing. I still don't really know how it

714
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:28,840
Speaker 3: didn't stick like it sort of like for a second

715
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:31,480
Speaker 3: and came right back out and I was like, damn

716
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 3: we could have used it. We're still stuck at forty

717
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:37,240
Speaker 3: eight wedges. We even had a weggie in thirty one days.

718
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:39,360
Speaker 3: We went an entire month without a weggie. I don't

719
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:41,160
Speaker 3: know how many times in the history of tracking these

720
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:46,080
Speaker 3: where it's been that long without one, but we weird,

721
00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:49,200
Speaker 3: we desperately need one, and there's been a couple almost weggies,

722
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 3: like through these conference finals that that one was the

723
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:55,160
Speaker 3: closest I thought, but anyway didn't stick. And I think

724
00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:57,800
Speaker 3: that's all I got in my notes anything from utk.

725
00:30:57,560 --> 00:30:59,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, great, sweet by Fred Katz. He says. When I

726
00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:02,960
Speaker 1: walked in the next locker room postgame, Mitchell Robinson said

727
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:04,720
Speaker 1: to me, said to Fred, you know I have a

728
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:07,200
Speaker 1: friend who looks just like you. Fred replied, oh, really,

729
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:10,480
Speaker 1: to which Mitchell Robinson responded, Yeah, he's really ugly.

730
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 3: Cats just gets dunked on left and right.

731
00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:18,640
Speaker 1: He's like, I gotta report this. You're not the tall

732
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:19,440
Speaker 1: that's true.

733
00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 3: That's why he's a great sport.

734
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:22,040
Speaker 1: That's right.

735
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:25,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, that was him and Fred have a long time

736
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:29,520
Speaker 5: relationship because he's the one who cut Mitchell farting right.

737
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:31,240
Speaker 4: That was the Athletic article.

738
00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:33,160
Speaker 1: Wow, it was Mitchell officially.

739
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:35,960
Speaker 5: Huh No, it never came out. The fart did, but

740
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:39,160
Speaker 5: the report of who actually farted did not come out.

741
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:41,280
Speaker 4: But it seems like it was Mitch.

742
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:45,120
Speaker 3: Okay, Yeah, Is Mitch one of these knicks that calls

743
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:47,920
Speaker 3: Fred Matthew too? Don't they like refuse to call him

744
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:52,040
Speaker 3: his name is Matthew, my friend? I always love that

745
00:31:52,120 --> 00:32:01,960
Speaker 3: bit Matthew. Anyway, great stuff. Obviously an incredible series, and

746
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:04,280
Speaker 3: just like it's excited both these series that we're at

747
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:06,280
Speaker 3: least getting five, you know what I mean? Good? We

748
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 3: ever look at the possibility of some sweeps here, we're

749
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:10,120
Speaker 3: at least going five, and it feels like we could

750
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:12,120
Speaker 3: be going you know, maybe six or seven in both

751
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:14,160
Speaker 3: of these. We'll find out and we'll get into Game

752
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 3: four of ThunderWolves in a second. But let's talk a

753
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:21,680
Speaker 3: little All NBA. NBA announced it's all NBA teams on

754
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 3: Friday night, headlining the list league MVP, Shake Gilders, Alexander

755
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 3: and rounding out this superstar team. You got Giannis, you

756
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:32,160
Speaker 3: got Jokic, you got Donovan Mitchell, and you got Jason Tatum.

757
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:35,920
Speaker 3: For those guys, if you take out Mitchell, all unanimous

758
00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:40,440
Speaker 3: first team selections, all NBA Second Team consists of Jalen Brunson,

759
00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:45,280
Speaker 3: Steph Curry, Anthony Edwards, Lebron James, and Evan Mobley making

760
00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:48,000
Speaker 3: All NBA Second Team and finally All NBA Third Team

761
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:51,960
Speaker 3: composed of Pistons guard Kate Cunningham who just made himself

762
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:55,800
Speaker 3: a whole lot more money, Tyrese Haliburton, James Harden does

763
00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 3: make it, Karl Anthony Towns, and Jalen Williams. J Dubb

764
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:04,640
Speaker 3: of the thunder T Kenny takeaways from the fifteen Guy's

765
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:05,880
Speaker 3: name to the All NBA teams here.

766
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:08,960
Speaker 1: Halliburton was a potential snub on our Friday show. He

767
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:11,160
Speaker 1: made it, as did Harden. So I think the biggest

768
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:14,640
Speaker 1: snubs have to be Alprin Shengun, and it beats a zubots,

769
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:16,360
Speaker 1: I guess. But once Harden made it, it's like you're

770
00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:19,360
Speaker 1: only getting one more than likely. But Houston having the

771
00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:22,720
Speaker 1: second best record in the Western Conference, sheng Gun did

772
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:25,680
Speaker 1: make the All Star team a little surprising. I would

773
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:27,760
Speaker 1: say that, Like I guess, it kind of comes down

774
00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:30,320
Speaker 1: to Towns made it over Shangun there in the on

775
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:32,200
Speaker 1: the third team, so that was a surprise to me.

776
00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:34,600
Speaker 1: Another snub I think That was interesting as Jaron Jackson

777
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:39,160
Speaker 1: Junior cost himself super max eligibility, which means now the

778
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:41,280
Speaker 1: Grizzlies have to use cap space if they want to

779
00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:43,120
Speaker 1: give him a raise. Because Jaron Jackson Junior is on

780
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:45,960
Speaker 1: like a pretty value contract. He's not making not much

781
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:48,680
Speaker 1: more than a guy like Vouch when obviously he's younger

782
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:51,280
Speaker 1: and better than a guy like Vouch. So the rays

783
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:53,720
Speaker 1: that the Grizzlies will be able to give him doesn't

784
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:56,920
Speaker 1: even really get him up to max contract status right now,

785
00:33:57,440 --> 00:34:01,200
Speaker 1: which means they could lose Santiel dom Luke Canard, maybe

786
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:03,320
Speaker 1: a lesser loss, but Aldama's going to be talked to

787
00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:07,080
Speaker 1: sign back. I don't know. Jared Jackson Junior not making

788
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:10,799
Speaker 1: not winning Defensive Player of the Year and or All

789
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:13,920
Speaker 1: NBA here kind of puts his future with the Grizzlies

790
00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:15,960
Speaker 1: and Jeopardy a little bit more than if he made it,

791
00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:18,200
Speaker 1: because if he makes it either one of those two things,

792
00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:20,239
Speaker 1: they can offer him a super max contract, and he

793
00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:22,960
Speaker 1: ain't turning that one, right But now it's like, well,

794
00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:25,760
Speaker 1: if I can get this kind of money anywhere else,

795
00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:27,040
Speaker 1: I might as well at least.

796
00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:28,920
Speaker 4: Look, yeah, that's interesting.

797
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:32,439
Speaker 5: It is interesting and that's why they made those questionable

798
00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:34,840
Speaker 5: trades at the trade deadline, just to save any dollars

799
00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:38,600
Speaker 5: to help pay Jaron Jackson, who is making a ridiculously

800
00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:42,200
Speaker 5: cheap contract. It's one of those it's only twenty three

801
00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:44,960
Speaker 5: million dollars next year. In the final year, it's one

802
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:48,760
Speaker 5: of those reducing descending contracts that's gotten lower and lower.

803
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:50,600
Speaker 5: So it seems pretty smart when you sign up. But

804
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:53,600
Speaker 5: when you're paying Desmond paying a ton and John Morant

805
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:56,239
Speaker 5: a ton, that guy's going to deserve a ton.

806
00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:58,160
Speaker 4: Jared Jackson, Jude just freaking awesome.

807
00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 5: One other guy that we talked to about as a

808
00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:05,120
Speaker 5: snobb on Friday Show, Pascal Siakam deserves as much credit

809
00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:07,279
Speaker 5: as Tyrese Halburn does. He's just awesome. And then that

810
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:10,120
Speaker 5: night when they named the All NBA teams and he

811
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:12,799
Speaker 5: doesn't get on it, he drops thirty nine points. I mean,

812
00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:15,399
Speaker 5: he was ready, he was ready for a fantastic game.

813
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:17,200
Speaker 5: I do want to know, because you guys love talking

814
00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 5: about all NBA first teams and how it's more valuable

815
00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:20,800
Speaker 5: than the second team.

816
00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:24,800
Speaker 4: Or third team. I don't that's Tray's thing. Yeah, that's true.

817
00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:27,960
Speaker 5: The current Now you have said both name too, his

818
00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:32,520
Speaker 5: seventh first or seventh All NBA First Team consecutively.

819
00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:33,960
Speaker 4: Probably yeah, I.

820
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:39,000
Speaker 5: Didn't check, but probably only trails Lebron as a current

821
00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:44,720
Speaker 5: ll NBA first team number. Lebron has thirteen, Ye has seven.

822
00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:48,160
Speaker 5: Then it drops. He's had more than Kevin Durant, more

823
00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:52,880
Speaker 5: than James Harden, more than the Luca who probably Kurry

824
00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:53,759
Speaker 5: is the surprising one.

825
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:54,200
Speaker 1: Honestly.

826
00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:56,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, when you think back, when we think about the

827
00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:59,000
Speaker 5: best players of this era, Curzon only had four.

828
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:03,080
Speaker 3: Guess what, we won't say four, that's my point. We'll

829
00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:06,480
Speaker 3: say eleven or whatever. He's at all NBA total selections.

830
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:09,439
Speaker 3: But it is wild that he's only made the top five,

831
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:11,960
Speaker 3: I guess. And it was done differently with positions, and

832
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:14,279
Speaker 3: now that's gone and opens up the door maybe more

833
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:16,880
Speaker 3: to some of these guys future at least making all

834
00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:18,319
Speaker 3: more All NBA First teams and all that.

835
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:19,200
Speaker 4: But I'm with you.

836
00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:21,680
Speaker 5: I think the number that really matters is the All

837
00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:23,280
Speaker 5: NBA rankings.

838
00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:26,200
Speaker 1: Really, if you like coming in third, it does. I

839
00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:28,200
Speaker 1: know you guys are a Canadian basketball fans, a lot

840
00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:31,400
Speaker 1: of bronze medals. It is kind of the same for

841
00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:33,919
Speaker 1: you guys, but you're supposed to finish first team, yes,

842
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:35,080
Speaker 1: top five player.

843
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:37,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, and the guy to I didn't mention. Jokich only

844
00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:41,040
Speaker 5: has five, which you know it's a solid number. But

845
00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:44,359
Speaker 5: he'll be He'll be passed by Tatum, he only has four.

846
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:46,560
Speaker 5: Tatum will be there a bunch. But it is interesting.

847
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:49,400
Speaker 1: Is gonna stop making first He will not?

848
00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:50,560
Speaker 4: Right now, he will not.

849
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:53,800
Speaker 3: Lebron has earned all NBA honors in twenty one consecutive

850
00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:57,080
Speaker 3: seasons after missing the cut during his rookie campaign, so

851
00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:00,880
Speaker 3: you know, just adding to his already record. No player

852
00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:04,040
Speaker 3: in NBA history has more than sixteen all NBA selections

853
00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:09,840
Speaker 3: Lebron now at twenty one. Kobe dun Kennedy miss is rookie. Yeah,

854
00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:11,960
Speaker 3: he even made it that year he was hurt. Yeah,

855
00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:16,200
Speaker 3: I think so because there was no games played, right, Kobe, Duncan,

856
00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:19,239
Speaker 3: and Kareem all have fifteen. I believe all NBA selections

857
00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:21,480
Speaker 3: Hardin You said making it for his I think his

858
00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:24,000
Speaker 3: eighth time overall. But the shocking part I guess is

859
00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:26,399
Speaker 3: he hasn't made one since twenty twenty, so it's been

860
00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:29,200
Speaker 3: a decent little gap there from him making it and

861
00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:31,640
Speaker 3: then back to Kate Cunningham, him. Making it means he

862
00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:33,839
Speaker 3: gets a five year, two hundred and sixty nine million

863
00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:36,800
Speaker 3: dollar contract beginning next season after signing the MAX with

864
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:41,280
Speaker 3: the Pistons last fall, so roughly forty five million dollars

865
00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:43,920
Speaker 3: more than he would have made otherwise. That was huge.

866
00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:46,360
Speaker 3: And it's not like he just snuck into the third team.

867
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:49,920
Speaker 3: He nearly made the second team. He received by far

868
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:52,400
Speaker 3: the most points of any player on the third team,

869
00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:55,040
Speaker 3: just nine points from making second team over Jalen Brunson.

870
00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:56,920
Speaker 3: And in fact, if you really look into it, he

871
00:37:56,960 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 3: received more first team votes than three players named to

872
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:03,480
Speaker 3: the second team, Steph Mobley and Brunson. So Brunson had

873
00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:05,040
Speaker 3: him beat though in second team votes and that's why

874
00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:07,000
Speaker 3: you got in there. But good job by kid, and

875
00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:09,359
Speaker 3: probably the first of many All NBA selections for him

876
00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:10,680
Speaker 3: you would expect moving forward.

877
00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:13,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, Anthony Edwards also made it. If he makes All

878
00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:16,160
Speaker 1: NBA next season, which you know, why would you really

879
00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:18,840
Speaker 1: bet against it? Maybe games played, we shall see, but

880
00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:20,920
Speaker 1: a likely guy to make it. If he makes it

881
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:22,960
Speaker 1: again next season, he'll be eligible for a four year,

882
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:25,719
Speaker 1: three hundred and sixty million dollar contract. That means he's

883
00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:28,359
Speaker 1: making ninety million dollars per season and they play eighty

884
00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:28,920
Speaker 1: two games.

885
00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:31,239
Speaker 3: PERONOW one million plus per game?

886
00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:35,600
Speaker 1: Is it a bubble contract? Can't keep going on? I

887
00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:38,799
Speaker 1: know they just can't. It doesn't make sense. They're not

888
00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:40,720
Speaker 1: going to be paying one hundred million dollars per games.

889
00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:43,080
Speaker 3: One hundred million dollars per game.

890
00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:47,560
Speaker 1: I mean, how long will that take? If we're talking

891
00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:50,800
Speaker 1: about the multiplication factor, it would.

892
00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:52,640
Speaker 3: Take a while. But I get your point. It's insane

893
00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:54,640
Speaker 3: that much money.

894
00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:57,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's not going to go down anytime soon because

895
00:38:57,520 --> 00:39:00,359
Speaker 5: the TV deal is good for eleven years. That's where

896
00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:03,799
Speaker 5: they're making their money from, right, So shash, she's gonna

897
00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:05,520
Speaker 5: keep on getting a bonus. I guess he'll get to

898
00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:11,160
Speaker 5: literally a million per basketball game. So that's pretty good.

899
00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:14,360
Speaker 3: Wow, maybe that should be the cap. That's where we

900
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:18,120
Speaker 3: capp it. Yeah, it's like, okay, that's pretty good.

901
00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:19,000
Speaker 1: All right.

902
00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:22,480
Speaker 3: Let's pivot from all NBA talk to thunder Wolves Game

903
00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:26,480
Speaker 3: four that tips tonight in Minnesota. After two convincing wins

904
00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:28,600
Speaker 3: in games one and two, Okay, see, couldn't keep it

905
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:31,040
Speaker 3: going on the road. Minnesota dominated to the thunder on

906
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:33,440
Speaker 3: Saturday night one forty three to one on one. It

907
00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:37,160
Speaker 3: was a beat down Minnesota coming out with some energy,

908
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:40,399
Speaker 3: obviously led by ant with sixteen points in the first quarter.

909
00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:42,920
Speaker 3: But what's something you're watching for in tonight's Game four

910
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:45,880
Speaker 3: or any takeaways from you know, game three over the weekend.

911
00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:48,680
Speaker 5: To utel Well, game three was excellent in terms of

912
00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:53,399
Speaker 5: how those Wolves were out on every possession. To a guard,

913
00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:56,040
Speaker 5: I'm as simple as that. I mean, really, it did

914
00:39:56,520 --> 00:39:59,399
Speaker 5: help out to figure out how to guard Shay either

915
00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:02,200
Speaker 5: dropping back or as soon as he got into that

916
00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:05,000
Speaker 5: mid range, you're dropping back, but you jump out there

917
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:06,520
Speaker 5: to try and throw them off a little bit.

918
00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:09,360
Speaker 3: Rudy go Bear stripped them Rudy go Bear crazy.

919
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:12,560
Speaker 5: To see that was yeah, yeah, so yeah, the Shay

920
00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:15,319
Speaker 5: in the space is definitely important. And just the three

921
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:17,640
Speaker 5: point making from the Minnesota Timberwolves. It was good to

922
00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:20,359
Speaker 5: see a guy like Nasried who was balling the first

923
00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:24,399
Speaker 5: two series, you know, fifty percent in series number one,

924
00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:26,520
Speaker 5: then forty three percent series number two, and then he

925
00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:29,919
Speaker 5: missed all twelve of his first threes through the first

926
00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:32,200
Speaker 5: two games, and then bang Bank Bank Bank Banking in

927
00:40:32,239 --> 00:40:34,080
Speaker 5: game number three, so they were alive. And then he

928
00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:35,200
Speaker 5: had a lefty hook, a.

929
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:37,319
Speaker 4: Lefty hook in a basketball game.

930
00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:41,200
Speaker 5: So yeah, I'm not going to get too into what's

931
00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:43,120
Speaker 5: going I will just say, yeah, I think the Thunder

932
00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:45,719
Speaker 5: will be a little bit more ready to take their

933
00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:49,240
Speaker 5: mid shots and ready at this zone that's being flown

934
00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:51,120
Speaker 5: at them in different ways.

935
00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:54,880
Speaker 4: And that's that. Game three was Game three. This is

936
00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:55,720
Speaker 4: gonna be very different.

937
00:40:55,840 --> 00:40:57,760
Speaker 1: I actually thought, Okay, so he played the least amount

938
00:40:57,760 --> 00:41:00,000
Speaker 1: of his own they have so far in this series.

939
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:02,960
Speaker 1: They basically admitted to it afterwards. Chris Finch is like, yeah,

940
00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:04,440
Speaker 1: we were trying to do what Denver was doing and

941
00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:06,400
Speaker 1: having success, but instead we decided to play like we

942
00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:09,400
Speaker 1: play and play physical basketball. They won the turnover battle

943
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:11,879
Speaker 1: for the first time against the Thunder in literally months.

944
00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:13,719
Speaker 1: I think March is the last time the Thunder lost

945
00:41:13,719 --> 00:41:17,000
Speaker 1: the turnover battle. Fifteen to ten for Minnesota, that's huge.

946
00:41:17,160 --> 00:41:19,959
Speaker 1: You factor in twenty for forty three point shooting. That's

947
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:23,399
Speaker 1: also huge, Like, you're not expecting necessarily to shoot fifty

948
00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:25,160
Speaker 1: percent from three, but you got to shoot it better

949
00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:27,400
Speaker 1: than you did it in games one and two to

950
00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:30,279
Speaker 1: have a chance, especially since Anthony Edwards has figured out

951
00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:33,000
Speaker 1: his scoring in the last two games just on two pointers.

952
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:35,719
Speaker 1: He's eighteen of twenty six that's sixty nine percent. Shot

953
00:41:35,719 --> 00:41:37,880
Speaker 1: the three ball well in Game three, but not so

954
00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:41,759
Speaker 1: much in Game two. But it doesn't necessarily look like

955
00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:45,359
Speaker 1: the Thundered are able to turn off his water right now.

956
00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:47,160
Speaker 1: So it'll be interesting to see what kind of defense

957
00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:50,000
Speaker 1: they go to, because okay, see looks better with one

958
00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:53,440
Speaker 1: big on the court. They're much better offensively. That's a

959
00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:55,040
Speaker 1: huge part of the reason I think they're able to

960
00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:58,040
Speaker 1: shade so many guys at Shay because anytime he's coming

961
00:41:58,040 --> 00:41:59,959
Speaker 1: around a screen, they had go bear way up high

962
00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:01,960
Speaker 1: to try and take away the mid range game. They

963
00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:04,360
Speaker 1: didn't have Jaden McDaniel's picking him up at half court

964
00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:07,080
Speaker 1: because you're not shooting half court shots. So Shaye took

965
00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:08,839
Speaker 1: five threes, that's the most he's taken in a game

966
00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:13,040
Speaker 1: so far this series. But they're seeing he's seeing two

967
00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:16,840
Speaker 1: and everybody else is just helping off the thunder role players.

968
00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:20,560
Speaker 1: They're gonna have to hit threes for them to respect him.

969
00:42:20,560 --> 00:42:24,400
Speaker 1: And I just wonder how soon Deagnault pulls Isaiah Hartenstein

970
00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:26,480
Speaker 1: for Alex Caru, so I assume would probably be the

971
00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:28,560
Speaker 1: guy who would step into the starting lineup if not

972
00:42:28,960 --> 00:42:32,360
Speaker 1: a halftime start like we've seen before. But I think that, okay,

973
00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:34,440
Speaker 1: so he's gonna want to get a little bit more quickness,

974
00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:37,000
Speaker 1: a little bit more offense since we finally saw Minnesota

975
00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:39,000
Speaker 1: really assert their size, I thought in this one.

976
00:42:39,120 --> 00:42:42,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, the keyword from Game three from both sides was physicality.

977
00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:44,239
Speaker 3: Everybody was talking about that. I think there was even

978
00:42:44,239 --> 00:42:45,759
Speaker 3: that clip of Shay on the bench as the game

979
00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:47,719
Speaker 3: was all blowout and he's talking to like one of

980
00:42:47,719 --> 00:42:49,960
Speaker 3: the young guys, going, yeah, we lost this game because

981
00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:52,080
Speaker 3: they punched us in the mouth, Like they came out physical.

982
00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:54,359
Speaker 3: They set the tone. We couldn't counter, we could didn't

983
00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:56,080
Speaker 3: have an answer, So you would expect them to be

984
00:42:56,120 --> 00:42:58,600
Speaker 3: ready for that. Now, always when you hear that going

985
00:42:58,640 --> 00:43:00,120
Speaker 3: into a game, you're like, how did they fit? She

986
00:43:00,200 --> 00:43:01,920
Speaker 3: was gonna let them play and they're gonna be a

987
00:43:01,920 --> 00:43:04,399
Speaker 3: tight whistle and we're not doing that tonight, guys, or

988
00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:06,000
Speaker 3: like we've seen a little bit more in the Nick

989
00:43:06,040 --> 00:43:07,960
Speaker 3: Pacer series, if we're being honest, like the whistle's been

990
00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:10,400
Speaker 3: a lot more loose and like they've allowed them to

991
00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:12,440
Speaker 3: be a lot more physical, where I think in the

992
00:43:12,480 --> 00:43:14,439
Speaker 3: West they've been had a tighter whistle for the most part.

993
00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:17,399
Speaker 3: So we'll see, we'll see excited for Game four, big,

994
00:43:17,440 --> 00:43:20,080
Speaker 3: big game. Obviously in Minnesota. Think it's a well I

995
00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:21,439
Speaker 3: was going to say it's an eight to thirty tip,

996
00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:25,400
Speaker 3: but that's a lie. It's an eight forty four maybe

997
00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:26,439
Speaker 3: forty five tip.

998
00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:26,840
Speaker 1: Perfect.

999
00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:29,440
Speaker 3: If it's on ESPN, you're adding fourteen minutes. If it's

1000
00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:32,759
Speaker 3: on TNT, you're adding five to six minutes. That's how

1001
00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:35,439
Speaker 3: it goes. So just keep that in mind us right,

1002
00:43:35,880 --> 00:43:37,680
Speaker 3: all right, so excited for that. We'll be back here

1003
00:43:37,680 --> 00:43:41,120
Speaker 3: tomorrow to talk about game four in detail. Before we go,

1004
00:43:41,960 --> 00:43:45,480
Speaker 3: I want to know how is Mission Impossible the Final Reckoning?

1005
00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:47,680
Speaker 3: You went and saw it? You did not? Did you not?

1006
00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:51,319
Speaker 1: I saw it Saturday night, IMAX. Oh, I would say good,

1007
00:43:51,400 --> 00:43:55,160
Speaker 1: not great? Okay, good, not great. If you've read any

1008
00:43:55,200 --> 00:43:58,000
Speaker 1: of the reviews. I haven't heard any of the reviews.

1009
00:43:58,280 --> 00:44:04,160
Speaker 1: They're all completely accurate. Well, I mean the review is

1010
00:44:04,160 --> 00:44:07,440
Speaker 1: that it's a slow start. The first hour. It's a

1011
00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:09,440
Speaker 1: bit of a clip show if we're being quite honest, Wow,

1012
00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:13,600
Speaker 1: weird stuff from Mission Impossible. But then once once Ethan

1013
00:44:13,640 --> 00:44:17,480
Speaker 1: starts going nuts, man, then at the special times the

1014
00:44:17,560 --> 00:44:20,759
Speaker 1: reckoning happens. The final stunt in this one. The big

1015
00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:23,319
Speaker 1: stunt in the movie, one of the all time great

1016
00:44:23,320 --> 00:44:24,239
Speaker 1: Mission Impossible stuff?

1017
00:44:24,320 --> 00:44:27,120
Speaker 3: Is this the plain one that we're seeing everywhere And obviously, okay, okay,

1018
00:44:27,120 --> 00:44:27,720
Speaker 3: it's incredible.

1019
00:44:27,719 --> 00:44:31,040
Speaker 1: It's even better than you can imagine, Like, yeah, it

1020
00:44:31,080 --> 00:44:33,839
Speaker 1: was awesome, it was awesome, But there's also another good,

1021
00:44:34,280 --> 00:44:38,080
Speaker 1: another good at earlier stunt for sure. So like when

1022
00:44:38,120 --> 00:44:40,239
Speaker 1: it comes out on streaming, I'll just fast forward the

1023
00:44:40,239 --> 00:44:40,719
Speaker 1: first hour.

1024
00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:43,040
Speaker 3: Wow, it's that sort of slow and boring.

1025
00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:46,120
Speaker 1: Well a little bit. It's I don't know who this

1026
00:44:46,200 --> 00:44:47,799
Speaker 1: would be, but it seemed to me it would be.

1027
00:44:47,960 --> 00:44:50,840
Speaker 1: You could come and see the Final Mission Impossible without

1028
00:44:50,880 --> 00:44:54,480
Speaker 1: knowing anything prior to it was kind of what they

1029
00:44:54,480 --> 00:44:56,520
Speaker 1: were trying to do, like reminding us about stuff that

1030
00:44:56,560 --> 00:44:59,000
Speaker 1: happened in the past. There's a lot of throwbacks to

1031
00:44:59,120 --> 00:45:00,960
Speaker 1: characters from the past, asked a lot of ti ins

1032
00:45:00,960 --> 00:45:03,560
Speaker 1: that don't really mean anything for the series. So if

1033
00:45:03,600 --> 00:45:05,400
Speaker 1: you were thinking I need to do a full Mission

1034
00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:08,399
Speaker 1: Impossible rewatch before watching this one, you don't, because they're

1035
00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:09,360
Speaker 1: gonna tell you what happened.

1036
00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:12,040
Speaker 3: Oh So it's like people on YouTube generally do those

1037
00:45:12,080 --> 00:45:14,400
Speaker 3: type of things, like hey, before you go see Final Reckoning,

1038
00:45:14,440 --> 00:45:16,360
Speaker 3: here's all you need to know. Yeah, mission impossible, but

1039
00:45:16,360 --> 00:45:18,040
Speaker 3: they just decided to put that in the movie.

1040
00:45:18,239 --> 00:45:21,040
Speaker 1: Kind of ok they kind of did. But then, like

1041
00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:24,120
Speaker 1: I said, once they got into the impossible missions, it

1042
00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:29,560
Speaker 1: was awesome. And I don't know. If if Ethan were

1043
00:45:29,600 --> 00:45:32,000
Speaker 1: to ask me to trust him one more time, of

1044
00:45:32,080 --> 00:45:34,919
Speaker 1: course I'm gonna do it. I trusted him for this one.

1045
00:45:35,080 --> 00:45:38,279
Speaker 1: That was a little a smidge disappointment. But if he

1046
00:45:38,360 --> 00:45:41,000
Speaker 1: asked me again, I'm gonna trust him. Where are we?

1047
00:45:41,040 --> 00:45:42,440
Speaker 3: Where do we stand with this series?

1048
00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:42,560
Speaker 1: Like?

1049
00:45:42,640 --> 00:45:42,839
Speaker 4: Is this?

1050
00:45:43,080 --> 00:45:45,560
Speaker 3: Is this done? Like done done?

1051
00:45:45,640 --> 00:45:47,440
Speaker 1: It could be over. I mean the way the way this,

1052
00:45:47,640 --> 00:45:50,120
Speaker 1: the way that the movie plays out, it could be over. Okay,

1053
00:45:50,480 --> 00:45:52,120
Speaker 1: but he ain't gonna stop.

1054
00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:55,000
Speaker 3: Can't stop stop, there's no way.

1055
00:45:55,040 --> 00:45:57,760
Speaker 4: That doesn't matter. If you've watched any of the previous movies,

1056
00:45:58,040 --> 00:45:59,719
Speaker 4: you're good. You come up with into it.

1057
00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:02,719
Speaker 3: It's true. Okay, Well all right, well did he sell you?

1058
00:46:03,160 --> 00:46:03,319
Speaker 1: Yeah?

1059
00:46:04,280 --> 00:46:05,520
Speaker 3: I do want to see it an imax. I do

1060
00:46:05,560 --> 00:46:06,760
Speaker 3: want to see this airplane stuff.

1061
00:46:06,760 --> 00:46:08,000
Speaker 1: And yeah, it was it was cool.

1062
00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:10,239
Speaker 3: Your big movie guy gonna be checking this.

1063
00:46:10,440 --> 00:46:15,120
Speaker 6: Oh, I'm definitely going I might imax the the Imax

1064
00:46:15,160 --> 00:46:17,520
Speaker 6: theater that it's here, in Atlanta. I don't love that theater,

1065
00:46:17,680 --> 00:46:19,040
Speaker 6: so I'm gonna settle this.

1066
00:46:21,880 --> 00:46:22,480
Speaker 3: For Laser.

1067
00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:24,880
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go farther to a different

1068
00:46:24,880 --> 00:46:27,200
Speaker 1: Imax theater the next time I go see an Imax movie.

1069
00:46:27,280 --> 00:46:29,000
Speaker 3: Okay, because this one not great.

1070
00:46:29,120 --> 00:46:32,839
Speaker 1: I only go to this theater for Imax every time.

1071
00:46:33,160 --> 00:46:37,080
Speaker 1: Every time it's somehow worse. It's unbelievable how slow it is.

1072
00:46:37,280 --> 00:46:40,960
Speaker 3: Okay, great, Well I'm going JD. We can figure it out.

1073
00:46:40,960 --> 00:46:46,320
Speaker 3: Maybe we'll share a ride to this distance Imax. What

1074
00:46:46,480 --> 00:46:49,480
Speaker 3: else we got friendship out to? I do don't need

1075
00:46:49,520 --> 00:46:50,440
Speaker 3: to see it out with an Imax.

1076
00:46:51,239 --> 00:46:54,480
Speaker 1: That'll be it. That'll be a matinee after I don't know, Wednesday,
