Speaker 1: There he is and here we are. On today's pod,

13
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 1: We're going to discuss the Celtics sweeping the Pacers heading

14
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 1: back to the NBA Finals. We'll break down why the

15
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 1: Mavericks are up three to zero on the Wolves and

16
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 1: whether they close it out tonight and tweeted to night

17
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 1: is for the Dogs. But we start with some sad news,

18
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 1: and that is basketball legend Bill Walton, who led the

19
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 1: UCLA Bruins to two national titles, winning two championships during

20
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 1: his NBA career, has died at the age of seventy

21
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 1: one after a prolonged battle with cancer. Walton passed on

22
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:11,679
Speaker 1: Monday while surrounded by loved ones like I said, this

23
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 1: guy was a champ at every level. He was a

24
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 1: number one pick in the seventy four draft, he was

25
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:19,279
Speaker 1: the MVP in the seventy seven to seventy eight season,

26
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 1: two time All Star, won six mant of the Year

27
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 1: in the Basketball Hall of Fame in nineteen ninety three.

28
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 1: And he was still so much bigger than basketball. He

29
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:31,320
Speaker 1: was larger than life, this guy. And it's been you know,

30
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:34,480
Speaker 1: obviously unfortunate news and our condolences to his family and

31
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 1: friends and fans. But the tributes that have poured in

32
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 1: for again, this legend.

33
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 2: You're getting all the tributes from the basketball world and

34
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 2: all of the tributes from the grateful dead world. Ah Man,

35
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 2: I was sad yesterday. It sounds dumb. Bill Walton's my

36
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 2: favorite player that I never saw play, right, Like, there's

37
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 2: a legend you're gonna attach yourself to that's before your time.

38
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 2: For me, it was Bill Walton part of that. So

39
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 2: he's one of my dad's all time favorite players and

40
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 2: just kind of a one to one type until you know,

41
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 2: Nikola Jokic came around. Basically, ESPN made the documentary. You

42
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 2: heard Bill Walton say it all the time. I'm the

43
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 2: luckiest guy in the world. He had a joy for life,

44
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:12,080
Speaker 2: a passion for life. That's pretty incredible considering all the

45
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,799
Speaker 2: things he's been through. He said he peaked athletically at

46
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 2: twelve years old because he got hurt playing at the park.

47
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 2: Then it was surgery after surgery after surgery, a lot

48
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 2: of dark moments with depression considered suicide. Made his way

49
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 2: through it to become a beloved broadcaster and like a

50
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 2: hallmark of the NBA and a guy who's just always

51
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 2: around as a big historical moment. So yeah, I was

52
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 2: just sad to see. And you know, it's weird to

53
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 2: be watching a Celtics Pacers game and they put up

54
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,800
Speaker 2: the Bill Walton career achievements and included in that has

55
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 2: attended one thousand grateful dead shows, like the guy is

56
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,080
Speaker 2: doing side quest like Jokic does, you know, But he

57
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,799
Speaker 2: was doing it fifty years ago on top of being

58
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 2: a dominant basketball player who didn't care about his stats

59
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 2: and just wanted to win.

60
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, he knew how to live life. He just

61
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 3: shed light in every moment. And it is strange when

62
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 3: you brought up that it isn't a guy in basketball

63
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:03,920
Speaker 3: we didn't watch play basketball, but it is going to

64
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 3: be very strange when he's part of the top one hundred,

65
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 3: because he was part of the top fifteen, part of

66
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 3: the top seventy five, and it's just going to be

67
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 3: strange to have a basketball world without Bill Walton because

68
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 3: he just knew how to live every moment, every broadcast

69
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 3: when he was off the court. I'm really surprised that

70
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 3: he had a long battle with cancer because I heard

71
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,960
Speaker 3: him on his broadcast to Throw It Down the Alternate

72
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 3: broadcast a couple months ago, and he was interviewing Robert

73
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 3: Parrish and Ben Affleck, and he just seemed so natural.

74
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 3: With Benetty. It's remarkable because he knows how to give

75
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 3: himself into everything he knew, I should say, how to

76
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 3: give himself into everything he had at all times, despite

77
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 3: all the surgeries and everything that he went through to

78
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 3: get there, he just shed light and everybody who knew

79
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 3: him or absorbed anything from him absorbed that light. So

80
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 3: he was a great person.

81
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, Walton retired from the NBA and then turned to broadcasting,

82
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 1: where sort of we grew up with him. He said

83
00:03:58,080 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 1: it was something he never thought he would do because

84
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 1: we had a pronounced stutter through many times in his life. Instead,

85
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 1: the guy goes on and wins like an Emmy. He's

86
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 1: named one of the top fifty sports broadcasters of all time.

87
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 1: The clips that I'm sure a lot of you have

88
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 1: seen over the last twenty four hours are amazing. Everyone

89
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:17,919
Speaker 1: funnier than the last. So yeah, he was an incredible

90
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 1: basketball player, incredible broadcaster, even better human. I loved our guy,

91
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 1: Brent Barry Bones something that really sort of stuck with me.

92
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 1: He tweeted a couple things last night. He wrote, quote,

93
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 1: I know what seeing Bill meant. It meant that I

94
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,719
Speaker 1: needed to recognize my blessings, that life was for living

95
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 1: and to not ever find joy in Bill Walton brought

96
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 1: triumph to living. I love that line. So shout out

97
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 1: to our guy Bones and condolences again to Bill's family,

98
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 1: friends and fans gone too soon. At seventy one Bill Walton,

99
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:48,719
Speaker 1: it was nice. They gave him a little moment of

100
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 1: silence there before Game four. And let's get into it now.

101
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 1: As the Celtics rallied late again task to close out

102
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 1: the Pacers for the four to zh sweep in the

103
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,840
Speaker 1: Eastern Conference Finals, they go back to the finals. It

104
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,720
Speaker 1: was a competitive sweep. I know everyone rolls their eyes

105
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,279
Speaker 1: at that, but we had three very close games that

106
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:09,359
Speaker 1: the Celtics just kept pulling out, and they did that

107
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 1: in Game four.

108
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 3: They shouldn't roll their eyes. I thought it was a

109
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:13,480
Speaker 3: really close sweep. I thought it was closer than the

110
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 3: Nuggets Lakers sweep from last year in the Conference finals.

111
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:17,920
Speaker 3: Everybody said that was the best sweep I've ever seen,

112
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,839
Speaker 3: That closestep I've ever seen. The three games were really close.

113
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 3: And Rick Carlisle, who Bill Walton set him up with

114
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 3: his wife that he got with at a Grateful Dead concert,

115
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:28,040
Speaker 3: got him in the back door, got him in the

116
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 3: front or the front tent rows and he sat there

117
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:32,479
Speaker 3: with his wife that he met. Billy did it. And

118
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,039
Speaker 3: Rick Carlo came in this game hot. He said to

119
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 3: his pacers, we're gonna go harder than Game three. We're

120
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:40,039
Speaker 3: gonna go harder. And they were so good in this game.

121
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 3: And I thought what was different for Boston was Jalen

122
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:46,840
Speaker 3: Brown started slow the eventual Eastern Conference Champion MVP or

123
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,280
Speaker 3: Eastern Conference MVP. It was four of eleven, one of

124
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:52,039
Speaker 3: four from the free throw line at halftime, but then

125
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 3: in the third quarter he turned it on the Celtics

126
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,599
Speaker 3: know how to turn it on when it gets tough,

127
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,599
Speaker 3: Like he hit a three in that first position after

128
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 3: halftime and it came off the board because it was

129
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,720
Speaker 3: just after the shot clock. But then he was able

130
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 3: to get on the floor, get a rebound and turn

131
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 3: it into a three for himself. Then he hit another three,

132
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 3: turned it around and obviously ended the game with that

133
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:15,279
Speaker 3: block on nem Hart. Who's he said was Michael Jordan

134
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 3: after Game three, Essentially he said some of those guys

135
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:19,600
Speaker 3: turned into Michael Jordan. He didn't say Nedmark, but that's

136
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 3: exactly who he meant. And then setting up Derek he.

137
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 2: Was talking about a little bit I saw.

138
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're all they're all playing their best. Yeah, that's

139
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 3: for sure, and that's why it's so weird to come

140
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 3: down to the last minute there where the Celtics, like

141
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 3: the Maps on the other side, are just executing when

142
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 3: it comes to crunch time. Derek White hitting that three,

143
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,159
Speaker 3: and then Drew Holliday having his best series of the

144
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 3: playoffs so far with the offensive rebound to clinch it

145
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 3: after Game three where he's shut down Nemhard to end it.

146
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 3: They just got guys playing at the right.

147
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 1: Time, Yeah, Indiana lost three times in this series despite

148
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:56,719
Speaker 1: holding leads or being tied in the final minute like

149
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 1: this and again, and this is what happened there on

150
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 1: Monday night in Game four, Boston shut them out for

151
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:04,840
Speaker 1: three and a half minutes, not a single point after

152
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,599
Speaker 1: I definitely jinked the Pacers last night with a tweet.

153
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 1: It was like, hey, sweet, the Pacers are gonna give

154
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 1: us a game five, all us daily NBA podcasters, thank you.

155
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 1: We're gonna need some content. And they didn't score after

156
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 1: I tweeted that because Boston forced two turnovers, some sloppy play,

157
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 1: a little bit from Indiana, maybe you know, their aide

158
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 1: showing a little bit or their inexperience, and then yeah,

159
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 1: the big shot from Derek White to sort of wrap

160
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 1: it up.

161
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Pacers were panic mode in the fourth quarter.

162
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 2: I think for the entirety of this series. You can

163
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 2: see the experience that the Celtics had came through and

164
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 2: they made a lot of great clutch plays, but it

165
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 2: was the defense to me that was most impressive. They

166
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:42,120
Speaker 2: forced three turnovers in the fourth quarter, one big block,

167
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 2: and there were so many plays that were blown up

168
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 2: before they Pacers could even get into their actions with

169
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 2: the Celtics just getting a ton of deflections or fighting

170
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 2: hard to not let Myles Turner catch the ball on

171
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 2: the block against the mismatch. Things like that. Their defense

172
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 2: absolutely came through and they needed it. And then the

173
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 2: players made plays true too as well. That stepped through

174
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 2: that Jalen had to tie the game with about two

175
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 2: forty left. That was nice. The block on nemhard incredible.

176
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 2: Finding Derek White in the corner, looks to the right wing,

177
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:09,679
Speaker 2: then finds him in the corner after drawing three guys

178
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 2: on the drive. Maybe the Pacers were a little too

179
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 2: over Zella's helping there, but got a wide open shot,

180
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 2: and of course Derek White knocked it down because that's

181
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 2: what he does. I thought Tatum was also interesting to

182
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 2: watch in the fourth quarter. Seven points, five rebounds, a

183
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 2: couple of them offensive which I thought were big, two assists,

184
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 2: a steal. He had that dunk where he was just

185
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 2: flying through the rim. I have never seen that guy

186
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 2: move that fast driving, but I liked how he was inside.

187
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 2: I didn't love when he grabbed the offensive rebound. Had

188
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 2: Jalen Brown wide open on the wing, could have popped

189
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 2: it to him for a three. He said no, no, no, no, no, no,

190
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:40,960
Speaker 2: slow it down, Let's get a good shot. Then he

191
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 2: took a terrible shot. Yeah, that band said he was

192
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,080
Speaker 2: awesome on the glass. I thought throughout this series he

193
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 2: had a dagger rebound, if that's a thing. In the

194
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 2: last minute of this game as well, Brown came through,

195
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 2: Tatum came through, and the defense was there. What else

196
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 2: can you expect from a Celtics team?

197
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:58,079
Speaker 1: Yeah, Jaalen Brown, you said it. Test awarded the Larry

198
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 1: Bird Eastern Conference Finals MVP Award. Voting was close. Brown

199
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 1: got five of the nine votes, Tatum got four. Both

200
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:08,560
Speaker 1: of these guys, when you look at the numbers they

201
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 1: put up in the sweep are pretty incredible. But Jalen

202
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:15,439
Speaker 1: Brown scored twenty nine points in Boston's Game four close

203
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:18,440
Speaker 1: out there the comeback. He obviously hit the crazy shot

204
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 1: at the end of Game one to get them into overtime,

205
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 1: and he finished scoring like nearly thirty points per game

206
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 1: and doing a bunch of other stuff. Very close though,

207
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 1: I don't think you could go wrong with either one

208
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 1: of them. But Jailing Brown gets one, and they seem

209
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 1: pretty pumped that he got that too. The way they reacted,

210
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 1: I thought, and He seemed actually quite happy to have

211
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:37,199
Speaker 1: the Eastern Conference Finals MVP.

212
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 3: He was surprised, he said it after I don't ever

213
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 3: win shit, and he did. He deserved it. He was awesome.

214
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 3: As I said, he came on in the second half

215
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:49,719
Speaker 3: of this game. Obviously that first game three at the end,

216
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:53,080
Speaker 3: he's hit some big shots and big blaze and that

217
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 3: block on Nemhart with a minute left. I was confused

218
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:58,840
Speaker 3: by that, and I was a little surprised that they

219
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:00,840
Speaker 3: didn't go look at see if it did the board first.

220
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:02,679
Speaker 3: I mean, that was a weird one where ned Heart

221
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:03,560
Speaker 3: got underneath the whop.

222
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 2: Would it be considered goaltending if you hit the bottom

223
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 2: of the back more? Yeah, because he wasn't making that

224
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 2: shot either.

225
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,080
Speaker 3: Way, right, Yeah, he went so fast and maybe moved

226
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 3: a little bit too fast there. But I thought Jalen

227
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:16,319
Speaker 3: Brown was the guy to do to win. He should

228
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 3: have won.

229
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 1: He would have got your vote, is what you're saying,

230
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 1: if you had a vote.

231
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:20,720
Speaker 3: I am surprised that it was five four. I mean

232
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 3: I said it after game three that he would win it. Uh,

233
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 3: and then I was really surprised that it was five four.

234
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:29,559
Speaker 1: Well, Tatum averaged like thirty ten and five series. I

235
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 1: think it wasn't the most efficient times. And like another

236
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 1: one last night where he struggled with his three point shot.

237
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 1: I think he went three for eleven to like what

238
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:40,439
Speaker 1: one free throw, so you don't like that. But again

239
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 1: like in this game, this closeout game, I think he

240
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 1: had twenty six, thirteen and eight.

241
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 3: Like the voters must have voted before that last minute.

242
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:49,320
Speaker 1: They have to get it in.

243
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 3: Wow. Yeah, that he set up the three at the block,

244
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:55,320
Speaker 3: I'm guessing maybe I don't know. Obviously Tatum was good too.

245
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:57,439
Speaker 3: That's the thing about this Boston Celtics team. Yeah, the

246
00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 3: Jay's good. Drew Holiday fantastic, Derek White fantastic. Yeah, they

247
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 3: don't even have their starting center, doesn't matter. Al Horford

248
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 3: was freaking awesome hitting seven threes in Game three. They

249
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 3: got a lot of guys, they do a lot of.

250
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:12,200
Speaker 1: Guys, and they're probably getting one guy back too in

251
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:15,320
Speaker 1: the NBA Finals. Kristaps Porzingis, in theory, will be returning

252
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 1: June sixth, when we get to Game one of the

253
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 1: NBA Finals. That's like nine days if I have that right,

254
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 1: that he can even add to already the long extended

255
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:27,320
Speaker 1: period that he has missed scary moment in this game

256
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:31,320
Speaker 1: when Jellen Brown popped TJ McConnell there in the face

257
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:33,320
Speaker 1: and then that sent him crashing to the ground on

258
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 1: his back rest. Ruled it a common foul after they

259
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 1: looked at the replay review kind a lot of people

260
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 1: by surprise. I thought that was one that was maybe

261
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:44,320
Speaker 1: going to get a flagrant there. I don't think he

262
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 1: meant to do it, but still a little reckless. And

263
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 1: the guy hits the guy in the face there.

264
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 3: Yep.

265
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 1: Not that I'm saying he would have been kicked out

266
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 1: or anything like that. He still would have played, But

267
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 1: that one was a little surprising. And we also had

268
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:57,679
Speaker 1: Pritchard getting a back heel kicked to the face from

269
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:01,960
Speaker 1: Isiah Jackson. He's done that twice now, Oh Isaiah Jackson?

270
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:05,560
Speaker 1: Has he did it to Jordan McLaughlin?

271
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:06,080
Speaker 2: Was it?

272
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:07,959
Speaker 1: I think same thing where it's a.

273
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 2: Pump fake during the regular season, I think so, Yeah,

274
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:14,960
Speaker 2: I would never remember that. Yeah I saw bench minutes

275
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,439
Speaker 2: not I'll remember, but yeah, uh, the mcconnelle should have

276
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:19,200
Speaker 2: been a flagrant. Absolutely, you get hit in the face,

277
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 2: that's the playgrint in the regular season. But Zack Zarber

278
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 2: comes up completely sweating like crazy and says the contact,

279
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 2: although unfortunate, does not rise to the level of a

280
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 2: flagrant foul. Unfortunate contact. That was very similar to me

281
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 2: as a subtle but effective push Yeah from Mike Conley.

282
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:38,680
Speaker 2: I don't need the editorializing from the referees on those reviews.

283
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 2: Tell me what happened. Yeah, I was flashing back to

284
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 2: Brad Miller getting hit in the face by Rajon Rondo

285
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 2: in the two thousand and nine first round playoffs. The

286
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 2: Celtics get away with some face hits. That's what I'm saying.

287
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, that must come from Sicacas at the head office.

288
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:57,200
Speaker 3: I'm speaking specifically about the script that he has to

289
00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:01,559
Speaker 3: say that not also unfortunately it is weird. But Peyton

290
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 3: Pritchard had that big that big shiner afterwards, never taken photos.

291
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:08,720
Speaker 3: That's a little good thing to take to the finals.

292
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:10,959
Speaker 3: You know that that dude, That dude's fighting for us.

293
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 3: That's a that's a thing that they can play for.

294
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 1: I got a little trivia here for you. Derek White

295
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:19,200
Speaker 1: produced a game highs of five steals and three blocks

296
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 1: in Game four, the last player to record at least

297
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 1: five steals and three blocks in a conference finals game

298
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 1: was who I'm going to tell you the year two thousand,

299
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 1: May thirtieth, two thousand and it happened against the Lakers.

300
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:36,679
Speaker 1: I'm going to give you that player is known as Wallace.

301
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 1: No no, But you have the right team, but you don't, Yeah,

302
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 1: Scotty pip I was going to say, you don't think

303
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 1: of this guy maybe with this team, but Blazer Scottie

304
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:49,720
Speaker 1: Pippen with the last guy. I think he had six

305
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 1: steals and four.

306
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 3: Blocks in that game.

307
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:53,840
Speaker 1: But yeah, Derek White, I mean that sort of shocked me.

308
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:56,719
Speaker 1: I'm like, holy yeah, rap obviously, and he's a guard too,

309
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:59,080
Speaker 1: there's that whole thing. So what a game from him?

310
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:00,959
Speaker 1: And he hits the one, only three he had like

311
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 1: hit one up until that point, I don't thick. Yeah,

312
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 1: wide open in the corner though.

313
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 3: He's a long man. When they had that that replay

314
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 3: of him blocking Andrew Nevhart on the base line where

315
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 3: Nehar was trying to fake trying to do the fix

316
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:13,440
Speaker 3: with him, but he was able to stick right in

317
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 3: front of him, and you saw how big he was,

318
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:17,839
Speaker 3: just because the low angle shot of how huge he is,

319
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 3: and that's why he led guards in blocks that was beautiful.

320
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 3: I am surprised though I've steal some three blocks. Do

321
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 3: you guys a lot?

322
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 1: Do you guys have thoughts on the finals or Eastern

323
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 1: Conference Finals shirts that the Celtics were rocking there and

324
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 1: the hats if you've got to take on those as well, TK, well,

325
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 1: you always like to critique these or thumbs upper, thumbs down.

326
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 1: What do we think of this design?

327
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 2: I like the script on the hat. Yeah, give me

328
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 2: a script on a hat. It looks like it looks

329
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:44,440
Speaker 2: like JD could own this hat with the style that

330
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 2: it's made in general. Likes the color, the different color

331
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 2: front and back panels, the shirt, the shirt is and

332
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 2: make no mistake, they're going to the fine.

333
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 3: I know that's a pretty big fought Yeah.

334
00:14:57,760 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 2: I do.

335
00:14:58,080 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 3: Kind of like how it's a big fun and it

336
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 3: doesn't say twenty twenty four Eastern Conference champions and a

337
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 3: huge fun right yeah? Yeah, yeah, that's better. The trucker hat.

338
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 3: I don't know about a trucker hat for a team.

339
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 3: I'm not sure like a trucker had a decent fine acceptable,

340
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 3: but for a team, I don't know. It looked kind

341
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 3: of weird with GROSSPEC had it on as well.

342
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 1: It was kind of Yeah, let's hear from the people

343
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 1: out therebody's of course on YouTube. Were you a fan

344
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 1: of these Eastern Conference champion shirts and hats? What else

345
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 1: from this game that jumped out to you, you know,

346
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 1: either from the Celtics side of things or even the Pacers,

347
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 1: And again, like the fight they did put up, there

348
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 1: was no Halliburton for games three and four. Andrew Nemhart,

349
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 1: my god, had himself a series and obviously had he

350
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 1: had some great games. Again, I think down the stretch

351
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 1: showed the inexperience. This will be good for him hopefully

352
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 1: moving forward. But he impressed a lot of people. And

353
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 1: then Siakham had moments. TJ had moments. Definitely put up

354
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 1: a fight, like you said, But anything else jump out

355
00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 1: to you.

356
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Pacers did great. You know, I thought they

357
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 2: played really hard. They just were outclassed. And that's not

358
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 2: a surprise. The Celtics won sixty four games this season,

359
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:08,520
Speaker 2: but Pacers were a sixth seed, missing their best player

360
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 2: and maybe their second best perimeter score and Ben Mathrin, who,

361
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 2: like you know, we've completely forgotten he's gone. Of course,

362
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 2: the Celtics aren't missing a third All Star in Kris

363
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 2: stabs Porzingis, so you gotta give him credit there. But

364
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 2: I thought that Pacers bench was really good. Like Obi toppin,

365
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 2: this guy's a playoff player. Yeah, I didn't know that

366
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 2: was going to be a thing, but he's been better,

367
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 2: I think, in the postseason than he was for the

368
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 2: Pacers during the regular season. TJ McConnell obviously looking like

369
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 2: MJ McConnell out there at times. As Jalen Brown would say,

370
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 2: I thought that the Pacers bench could be an advantage

371
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 2: for them coming into this series, and it was. The

372
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 2: Celtics bench hardly did anything in this game ten points combined,

373
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 2: five for Howser, five for Prichard. They both made a three,

374
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 2: but not many contributions from them. But they do have

375
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 2: a great starting lineup and one of their bench guys

376
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 2: has been elevated to the starting lineup. But yeah, the Pacers,

377
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 2: I thought they Lakers, did you know this is a

378
00:16:57,240 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 2: competitive sweep? I think it was twenty seven total points

379
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 2: separating the teams in this series. Twenty three total points

380
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:07,119
Speaker 2: for Lakers versus Nuggets last year. But my guess is

381
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:09,480
Speaker 2: you're not going to hear nearly as much about the

382
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:12,240
Speaker 2: Pacers having one of the most competitive sweepes in NBA history.

383
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:14,440
Speaker 3: Know the reason we did with the Lebron.

384
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 1: The Lebron Lakers. Yes, I think you're right about that.

385
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 1: What's impressed you most though about this Celtics run here

386
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 1: to the Finals twelve and two. Now, you know they

387
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 1: lose those two game twos in the in the first

388
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 1: two round series, they obviously played a lot of teams

389
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 1: that were missing their star guys. I mean, they've had

390
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:34,680
Speaker 1: a pretty easy path, but they've sort of kicked ass

391
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 1: for a majority of it. What's impressing most.

392
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 3: Well, I think the number one thing that everyone questions

393
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 3: the Celtics for will they come down well, come come

394
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 3: through down the stretch. They did, because it's always a

395
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:49,959
Speaker 3: question will they make every right play? Well, they stopped

396
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:52,160
Speaker 3: shooting from the three point line. I not Tatum did

397
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:55,359
Speaker 3: have a one flub, but they were able to undo that.

398
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:57,399
Speaker 3: I mean their started scored ninety five of one hundred

399
00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:00,240
Speaker 3: and five points here in Game four against the team

400
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:02,639
Speaker 3: that was running every single one of their bench players

401
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:05,440
Speaker 3: at them. So I do think it's, yeah, the starters

402
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 3: being able to execute, and yeah, then you obviously add

403
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:12,119
Speaker 3: another great bench player when Al Horford goes to the

404
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:15,920
Speaker 3: bench when Christaps Porzingis comes in. So it's just that

405
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:21,000
Speaker 3: it's just them looking like this old wise team that

406
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 3: you don't really think of when it comes to the Celtics,

407
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:26,879
Speaker 3: but that's who they were, every single guy executing, coming

408
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:29,960
Speaker 3: down the stretch in different ways on both sides. It's

409
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,439
Speaker 3: that that's the impressive part that they can take that

410
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:35,159
Speaker 3: into the finals. It doesn't feel like this team that

411
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:37,639
Speaker 3: keeps on getting to the conference finals and the finals

412
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty two doesn't feel like you gave the

413
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:42,399
Speaker 3: like they even had that, like they even had that

414
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:43,960
Speaker 3: about them where they would just go to the last

415
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 3: six minutes every single game and execute. I know Game

416
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 3: one was that weird one that the Pacers really should

417
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 3: have gotten for sure, But yeah, I think it's that.

418
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:55,000
Speaker 3: I think it's they look they look polished, that's for sure.

419
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:57,440
Speaker 1: They got some clutch time experience, at least in the

420
00:18:57,440 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 1: conference finals here, because we talked about it after the

421
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:02,840
Speaker 1: first two they had played seventy nine seconds of clutch

422
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:05,199
Speaker 1: time through the first two rounds of the playoffs. We're

423
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 1: talking about the score within five points in the last

424
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:10,680
Speaker 1: five minutes of the fourth or overtime eighteen minutes a

425
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 1: clutch time across games one, three, and four. So maybe

426
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 1: that helps them and their chances to knock off either

427
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 1: the Mavericks or you know, if the Wolves can do

428
00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 1: the impossible here and come back from three to zero.

429
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 1: So that's good. And yeah, they look like a just

430
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:26,720
Speaker 1: a damn good team. And why would that be a surprise.

431
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 1: They won sixty four games in the regular season. I

432
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:30,440
Speaker 1: think they took their foot off the gas a little

433
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:33,240
Speaker 1: bit at the end. But everybody's just going, well, they

434
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 1: didn't play anybody, Yeah, so which is true. It's absolutely

435
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 1: true with no Jimmy Butler, no Terry Rozier, obviously Jared

436
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:43,760
Speaker 1: Allen missing a ton of time. Then Donovan Mitchell loses

437
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 1: his time or doesn't play in a couple games in

438
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 1: that series. Then of course Tyree's Haliburton. So so yeah,

439
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:51,679
Speaker 1: but who's to say if everybody's healthy, they're still not

440
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 1: at this exact same point. Maybe it just takes another

441
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:55,400
Speaker 1: game or two. That's the funny part.

442
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 2: Also, the Celtics aren't healthy. Yeah, there's that the Celtics

443
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,359
Speaker 2: aren't healthy. Everybody else isn't healthy either, but they have

444
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 2: a lot more star players in their lineup. If this

445
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:05,679
Speaker 2: was the first series that felt like a playoff series,

446
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:08,160
Speaker 2: I think against the Pacers it felt like a first

447
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:10,119
Speaker 2: round playoff series. And if they come out of a

448
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 2: first round series winning all the clutch games, even though

449
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 2: the first forty six minutes didn't always look the smoothest

450
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:18,640
Speaker 2: for the Celtics, you would be encouraged. It's just weird

451
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:20,640
Speaker 2: that this happens to be the conference finals that they're

452
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:23,639
Speaker 2: doing it. They haven't lost on the road yet, that's huge.

453
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 2: And the games that they won that aren't clutch games,

454
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:28,240
Speaker 2: they're what twelve and two, So the other eight games

455
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 2: I suppose they're dominating. They've won their games this postseason

456
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 2: by ten point zero seven points per game. There are

457
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:38,680
Speaker 2: twelve teams all time that have won their playoff matchups

458
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:40,760
Speaker 2: by ten or more games. This is the biggest scoring

459
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:45,160
Speaker 2: margin in the NBA for a playoffs since the KD Warriors.

460
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 2: They're smacking teams, right. Obviously, they are at a talent

461
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:51,479
Speaker 2: advantage in all of them. But guess what, they're generally

462
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:53,679
Speaker 2: taking care of business except for a random game two

463
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:54,880
Speaker 2: in every series. That's right.

464
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:58,640
Speaker 1: Bill Wilton's one of his you know, maybe not famous quote,

465
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:00,440
Speaker 1: but I know he's on record saying winning is about

466
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 1: having the whole team on the same page. That is

467
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:04,399
Speaker 1: the Celtics right now, the way they are clicking, and

468
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:06,640
Speaker 1: they only have their whole team there, they're gonna add KP.

469
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:08,639
Speaker 1: Do you think he's going to be ready to make

470
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:11,879
Speaker 1: an impact in the finals. We kept wondering will we

471
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:14,399
Speaker 1: see him in games three or four? Maybe if it

472
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:16,159
Speaker 1: had gone five, Maybe if the Pacers have pulled one

473
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 1: of these out, he's back there to get some rep

474
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 1: But are you concerned at all about him not having

475
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:22,400
Speaker 1: played in a very long time. He's missed the last

476
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 1: ten games and hasn't played in a good stretch. That

477
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 1: could be good for the injury and the health of it,

478
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 1: could be bad for rust.

479
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:32,480
Speaker 3: What do you think that's true? I don't know. I'm

480
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:35,240
Speaker 3: not a doctor, so I don't know how the cat feels,

481
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:37,560
Speaker 3: how the solely feels. I think that's a big part

482
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:39,840
Speaker 3: of it. But if there's a guy who's been out

483
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:43,320
Speaker 3: many times and able to come back right away, I

484
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 3: guess it's Kristaps. I thought initially an experience with this, yeah,

485
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:49,400
Speaker 3: And I thought initially you'd want him to get back

486
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:51,639
Speaker 3: in a game four, even if it's for fifteen minutes

487
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 3: just to run up and down the floor and feel it.

488
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 3: Even if it's nine days before the finals. But if

489
00:21:57,280 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 3: the guy has experienced doing it, maybe I'm wrong, Maybe

490
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 3: I'm totally wrong.

491
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:01,680
Speaker 1: What do you think? Can you think he'll have a

492
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:05,159
Speaker 1: Obviously we think he's going to play, Yeah, will he

493
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 1: be ready to have an impact? I play it for

494
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:08,239
Speaker 1: a month, I know.

495
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 2: And he's coming back in the finals against a team

496
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:13,439
Speaker 2: that's really really good. Yeah, and they need Porzingis I

497
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:16,360
Speaker 2: think to beat likely the Mavericks here because they need

498
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:18,640
Speaker 2: his rim protection on defense. You see how many alley

499
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:22,640
Speaker 2: oops that Gafford and Lively have been catching against the Timberwolves.

500
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:25,160
Speaker 2: That's a team that has rim protection. The Celtics, if

501
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:27,479
Speaker 2: it's Horford, they don't have rim protection really right now,

502
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 2: you saw how many points in the paint Minnesota Indiana

503
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:33,159
Speaker 2: was putting up. They also need his secondary scoring. I

504
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:35,160
Speaker 2: think Dallas has done a great job in this playoffs

505
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:39,480
Speaker 2: against the Thunder and now against Minnesota, turning that team

506
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:41,399
Speaker 2: into ISO teams. It's like, we are going to be

507
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:43,600
Speaker 2: at boxes and elbows on you. It's gonna be tough

508
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:45,920
Speaker 2: for your star. They're gonna see bodies every time they drive.

509
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:48,480
Speaker 2: Who else is going to be able to score? Horford

510
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 2: gives you the stretch that Porzingis does. But when plays

511
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:54,679
Speaker 2: break down, it can't just be step back threes against

512
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 2: the Mavericks, because I think the Mavericks probably can make

513
00:22:56,840 --> 00:23:00,959
Speaker 2: those better than the Celtics can looking forward, so Porzingis

514
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:04,600
Speaker 2: is gonna have to be basically at Porzingis level. I

515
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:06,960
Speaker 2: think after a month off, coming back in the finals,

516
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:09,240
Speaker 2: which he has never played in before, it's gonna be tough.

517
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:10,479
Speaker 2: I would have liked to see him play the game

518
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 2: four just to see how he looks.

519
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:12,360
Speaker 3: Right.

520
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:15,239
Speaker 1: Shout out to Schumann for sort of reminding me. When

521
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:17,280
Speaker 1: you compare the Celtics going to the finals this year

522
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:20,280
Speaker 1: to what happened two years ago, is in that playoff

523
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:23,399
Speaker 1: run they played eighteen total games, so more games than

524
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:25,679
Speaker 1: obviously the fourteen they've played so far. They had the

525
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:29,120
Speaker 1: competitive sweep there it is again of Brooklyn. All four

526
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:32,119
Speaker 1: of those games were basically down to the wire. They

527
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 1: were all close games, and then they had two seven

528
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:37,919
Speaker 1: game series the Celtics did in twenty twenty two that

529
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,720
Speaker 1: they trailed at one point in the series against Milwaukee

530
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:44,360
Speaker 1: and Miami, so different here. They took care of business.

531
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:47,200
Speaker 1: They obviously are gonna have this huge break here.

532
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:47,440
Speaker 4: Now.

533
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:49,920
Speaker 1: Maybe the Mavericks will also have a similar break because

534
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:52,880
Speaker 1: they might wrap up their series tonight, but it's they're going.

535
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,480
Speaker 1: They're not like going right from the conference finals right

536
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:58,640
Speaker 1: into the finals. They're gonna have time to reset, obviously,

537
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:00,760
Speaker 1: get some of these other guys that I'm sure playing

538
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:03,720
Speaker 1: injured as well. Everybody's hurt at this point, be it

539
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:06,720
Speaker 1: knees and ankles and whatever, shoulders and stuff like that.

540
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 1: So you just get this really good break here for

541
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:12,000
Speaker 1: a team that has some older guys too in Horford

542
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:15,600
Speaker 1: and Drew, so you would think that'd be beneficial. In

543
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:17,480
Speaker 1: addition to the Porzingist part of it all.

544
00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:20,840
Speaker 3: What we have in that they have now that they

545
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 3: didn't have two years ago is Drew Holiday and that

546
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 3: him being that rock and having his best series in

547
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:28,640
Speaker 3: the Conference finals reminds me of his run with Milwaukee Bucks.

548
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 3: He had his best series against the Atlanta Hawks in

549
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:36,760
Speaker 3: round number three to get them going. And I don't know,

550
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 3: he seems like he's peaking at the right time. Does

551
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:40,879
Speaker 3: that mean anything because it's nine days from now. He

552
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:42,680
Speaker 3: kind of slowed down a little bit in the finals,

553
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:46,760
Speaker 3: but it feels like everybody's just playing damn well. You know,

554
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:49,120
Speaker 3: Derek White had the great series, Andrew Holliday had this series.

555
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:50,919
Speaker 3: It feels like they're a little bit more well rounded.

556
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 3: They just relied on those four guys, and that was

557
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:55,439
Speaker 3: sort of a worry going through the regular season. Are

558
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 3: think have enough off the bench? Will they? And they

559
00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:01,479
Speaker 3: went and you know, made these the at the traded

560
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:03,880
Speaker 3: line to get Xavier Tillman to try and help out.

561
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:06,400
Speaker 3: We saw a little low shaber set in Game three

562
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:09,359
Speaker 3: or Game two. I should say that doesn't really matter

563
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:12,400
Speaker 3: if I think, because they have reduced the amount of games,

564
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 3: even though yes, they are banged up, I think they

565
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:18,840
Speaker 3: will feel good. They've had shorter series than the MAVs

566
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:21,879
Speaker 3: or the Timberwolves, so that'll that'll help, I assume.

567
00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:25,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, let's pivot then to the Western Conference Finals.

568
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:28,680
Speaker 1: Two games since we last talked to you guys. Two

569
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:31,320
Speaker 1: great games, very entertaining games. Honestly, a lot of the

570
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 1: basketball over the long weekend was but on Sunday night,

571
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:38,240
Speaker 1: the Mavericks superstar duo outscored the Wolves eight man rotation

572
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:41,200
Speaker 1: twenty one to twenty in the fourth quarter to deliver

573
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:43,359
Speaker 1: the one to sixteen to one oh seven victory push

574
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:46,080
Speaker 1: Dallas to a dominating three to zero series lead. Here

575
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:49,960
Speaker 1: Luca and Kyrie scoring thirty three points a piece. They

576
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:52,800
Speaker 1: combine eight for ten in the final frame, and they

577
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 1: will look to close it out tonight. They're going to

578
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:58,800
Speaker 1: try and bring out the brooms in Dallas. You know,

579
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:01,680
Speaker 1: let's talk specifically about the game three. What were your

580
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:03,440
Speaker 1: takeaways from Dallas taking this lead here?

581
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:06,879
Speaker 2: Well, I thought Reggie Miller nailed it. The Mavericks have

582
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:10,840
Speaker 2: two closers, Mariano Rivera and Dennis eck I asked our

583
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:13,240
Speaker 2: baseball friends for two closers today. They said, guys, I'd

584
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:16,919
Speaker 2: never even heard of Mason Miller, a rookie from the

585
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 2: Athletics clase, A guy whose last name is Clay, who

586
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:21,919
Speaker 2: pitches for Cleveland. You never heard of these These are

587
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:22,879
Speaker 2: current good clothes.

588
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:26,200
Speaker 3: A rookie at Oakland Athletics.

589
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:27,200
Speaker 1: Thought that team was done.

590
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:32,040
Speaker 2: What let's stick with Rivera or Rivera and Eckersleeyah, You're

591
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:33,919
Speaker 2: right on that one, because these guys are two of

592
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:37,359
Speaker 2: the all time best. Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic. They

593
00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:39,680
Speaker 2: can make every single shot, and every shot they make

594
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:41,840
Speaker 2: is different from the one they made previous. Look at

595
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:44,440
Speaker 2: what they did. In the fourth quarter of Game three,

596
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 2: Kyrie went five for seven from the field, had one

597
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:49,359
Speaker 2: assist that was for a PJ. Washington three. His five

598
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:51,639
Speaker 2: makes he split a double hit a righty lamp somehow

599
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:54,240
Speaker 2: he got wide open despite being double teamed. Then he

600
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 2: had a pull up three over Jalen or Jaden McDaniels

601
00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 2: in transition a one on two knocks it down ties

602
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:02,119
Speaker 2: the game. Then he hits the fade away over Nikiel

603
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:05,240
Speaker 2: Alexander Walker. Then he hit probably his fifth left handed

604
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:08,000
Speaker 2: layup of the game going around Anthony Edwards, and then

605
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:10,919
Speaker 2: he had the high arc corner jumper over Carl Anthony

606
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:12,960
Speaker 2: Towns where he was on the ground on his back

607
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:15,440
Speaker 2: before the ball went through the net. Luka Dancich he

608
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:17,440
Speaker 2: went three for three. His one assist in the fourth

609
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:20,640
Speaker 2: quarter was the dagger dunk from Gorgeous Gafford. He had

610
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 2: a high arch three over Karl Anthony Towns left the

611
00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:25,439
Speaker 2: frame of your television when he shot it. Then he

612
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:27,680
Speaker 2: had a fade away over Nasried and a fade away

613
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:31,879
Speaker 2: over Jayden McDaniels as well. The defense is there for

614
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:34,199
Speaker 2: the Timberwolves. They're doing the best they can and it

615
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:38,160
Speaker 2: doesn't matter at all because good offense beats good defense.

616
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:41,040
Speaker 2: And they got the two best closers going right now.

617
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:43,159
Speaker 2: It's been super impressive the way the Mavericks have been

618
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:46,360
Speaker 2: winning this game. These games. They play defense, they keep

619
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:47,920
Speaker 2: it close, and then they're like, we're gonna get the

620
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:51,600
Speaker 2: best shots every single time down, doesn't matter who takes it.

621
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:54,159
Speaker 3: It's happened all three games. It is strange to see

622
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 3: the stats that Luca and Kyrie have outscored Edwards and

623
00:27:57,600 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 3: Cat one hundred and eighty one to one eleven in

624
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:04,040
Speaker 3: three games, plus seventy in three games. That's a lot.

625
00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 3: But then you watch the end of these games and yeah,

626
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:09,719
Speaker 3: Minnesota just crumbles a bit. They just can't do what

627
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:11,920
Speaker 3: Luca and Kyrie did. I mean, they scored one point

628
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:13,960
Speaker 3: in the last five minutes of that game when when

629
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:15,679
Speaker 3: Dallas decided to blow them out it was tied with

630
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:18,920
Speaker 3: four to thirty left. Minnesota did not did not score

631
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:22,040
Speaker 3: much one point while Dallas did their thing. It happened

632
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:25,280
Speaker 3: the first two games. Really, That's what it came down to. Uh, yeah,

633
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 3: domatr twin Bank Bank Bang. In Game one, the Wolves

634
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:32,119
Speaker 3: couldn't finish. And then in Game two, obviously obviously it

635
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:35,080
Speaker 3: was they were, they were up five with the minute

636
00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:37,400
Speaker 3: thirty left, Minnesota was, but you got a Kyrie three,

637
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:40,040
Speaker 3: and then you got the Luca game winning shot and

638
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:43,200
Speaker 3: then you got the nasried in and out to end

639
00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:46,560
Speaker 3: that game. So I just felt in Game three it

640
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:48,680
Speaker 3: might have we might get an Anthony Edwards after that

641
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:51,800
Speaker 3: monstrous Duncan and quarter number three, we might get it

642
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:55,080
Speaker 3: a great finish from from Ant and it wasn't. I mean,

643
00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:55,600
Speaker 3: he he.

644
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:56,600
Speaker 1: Had his best quarter.

645
00:28:56,920 --> 00:29:01,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, that third quarter yeah food yea, yeah, just thinking

646
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 3: watching him on the defensive end as this time ticked down.

647
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:08,640
Speaker 3: He made a mistake of leaving PJ Washington with three

648
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 3: point thirty left PJ Cash in the quarter, and then

649
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:14,560
Speaker 3: he missed a layup with two minutes left. It wasn't

650
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:16,480
Speaker 3: himself at the end. I don't know if it's work

651
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:19,440
Speaker 3: on endurance this postseason. I know I'm looking a little.

652
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:21,200
Speaker 4: Too far ahead because they do think they're gonna win

653
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:25,040
Speaker 4: Game four, But I guess, I mean, if there's any

654
00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 4: excuse to not seeing Anthony Edwards, do things like that,

655
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:31,040
Speaker 4: like what I just mentioned, leave a guy miss a layup,

656
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:33,680
Speaker 4: something's up, and I'm not.

657
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:36,600
Speaker 3: You can't use the injury excuse because you look at

658
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 3: the other side, who guy in a guy who hobbles

659
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:41,240
Speaker 3: all the time, and look at Doncon that guy he

660
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:45,200
Speaker 3: hobbles and look at him he's closing. Yeah. Great, this

661
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:48,560
Speaker 3: was a great closes to all three of these.

662
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:50,840
Speaker 1: It does feel like you keep watching the same game

663
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:53,040
Speaker 1: when you've watched games won two and three, like a

664
00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:55,960
Speaker 1: tiny bit different. But there's obviously close. There's good defense

665
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:58,040
Speaker 1: being played, the Wolves are hanging, they're playing good d

666
00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:00,280
Speaker 1: and then the guys take over and there's all He's

667
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:03,600
Speaker 1: like a corner three from PJ. Washington down the stretch

668
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:05,760
Speaker 1: that sort of gets them going. It's sort of funny.

669
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:07,080
Speaker 1: And then on the other side, you guys said it.

670
00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:10,720
Speaker 1: The stars for Minnesota are just they're coming up short here.

671
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:12,800
Speaker 1: I mean, twenty six points was not enough from Ant,

672
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:16,680
Speaker 1: especially down the stretch. And then Karl Anthony Towns can't

673
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:18,960
Speaker 1: hit a shot in this series. He's three for twenty

674
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:22,480
Speaker 1: two from deep. I thought that was a typo. He's

675
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:24,080
Speaker 1: three for twenty two from deep. This guy's you know,

676
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:27,080
Speaker 1: telling everyone he's the greatest big man shooter of all time.

677
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:29,200
Speaker 1: That's not going to cut it. He's fifteen for fifty

678
00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:32,280
Speaker 1: four from the field, and on paper you look at it,

679
00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:34,240
Speaker 1: you're like, Okay, he's got PJ. Washington a lot of

680
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:36,800
Speaker 1: the time, he's got twenty pounds on him, He's got

681
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:39,400
Speaker 1: what four or five inches on him. You think that's

682
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:41,160
Speaker 1: gonna be a great matchup. We thought it might be

683
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:44,520
Speaker 1: coming in and instead he's been brutal. He was five

684
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:45,800
Speaker 1: to eighteen in Game three.

685
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:47,960
Speaker 2: Took a really bad could check, like a minute and

686
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:50,800
Speaker 2: a half left down for shot it with probably twenty

687
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:53,040
Speaker 2: seconds left on the shot clock. That was a bad shot.

688
00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:55,520
Speaker 2: But the Wolves fourth quarter offense was a major problem

689
00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:58,040
Speaker 2: for them during the regular season, didn't really rear its

690
00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:01,040
Speaker 2: head until they got into this series against the Mavericks.

691
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:02,760
Speaker 2: And then you look at like the shot totals in

692
00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:05,120
Speaker 2: the fourth quarter. It's like Kyle Anderson took five shots,

693
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:08,560
Speaker 2: Conley and Towns they both took four shots, nas Reed

694
00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:10,440
Speaker 2: took three shots, and then there was Anthony Edwards he

695
00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:12,600
Speaker 2: took three shots. It doesn't make sense. You look at

696
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:15,000
Speaker 2: the Mavericks. Their best guys have the ball, the entire

697
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:17,000
Speaker 2: time and they're able to get to their shots. So yeah,

698
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:19,520
Speaker 2: maybe endurance is a thing with Edwards. He'll build up

699
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:22,720
Speaker 2: his stamina. He hasn't won a playoff series before this

700
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:25,400
Speaker 2: postseason run. Now he's won two. One of them was

701
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:27,040
Speaker 2: a seven gamer, so he'll get better at that. But

702
00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:29,600
Speaker 2: he just needs to embrace the mid range game that

703
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:31,960
Speaker 2: Kyrie has, that Luca has, because he just makes it

704
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:34,000
Speaker 2: too tough on himself. It's either a step back three

705
00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:36,520
Speaker 2: with a guy on you, or it's driving into three

706
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:38,840
Speaker 2: people to try and hit a crazy layup. He can

707
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:40,880
Speaker 2: make a lot of them, but he also misses some

708
00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:43,160
Speaker 2: of them. He's got good skills in the mid range,

709
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:45,960
Speaker 2: but that's not where he makes his money. So he's

710
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:47,720
Speaker 2: got to kind of embrace that. I do believe to

711
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:48,760
Speaker 2: take the next step.

712
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 1: Jad, I think you have the clip. Tessa alluded to

713
00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:54,200
Speaker 1: it or brought it up the game two shot from

714
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:58,480
Speaker 1: Luca over Rudy Gobert after the switch occurred and had

715
00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:02,520
Speaker 1: Rudy dancing and then hit the bob to put them up.

716
00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:06,600
Speaker 1: Screamed at Rudy, screamed at the crowd. You know, maybe

717
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:08,720
Speaker 1: I'm projecting here a little bit, but it felt like

718
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:10,880
Speaker 1: the series sort of ended after that three went in

719
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:13,080
Speaker 1: put them up two to oho on the road, and

720
00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:16,720
Speaker 1: now three to zero after game three. But TK, your

721
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:19,760
Speaker 1: thoughts on Luca and what he's been in this series.

722
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:23,400
Speaker 2: That's an unforgettable moment, especially the baseline came of it

723
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 2: where you see him dancing and then just screaming into

724
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:29,920
Speaker 2: Rudy Gobert's face. Like, I honestly feel bad for Rudy

725
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:32,720
Speaker 2: Gobert at this point. Hey, you got Draymond on the broadcast.

726
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:35,200
Speaker 2: You know this guy's just grinning ear to ear seeing

727
00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:38,239
Speaker 2: it go down. But why why would you put him

728
00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:40,520
Speaker 2: on an island against Luca Donchi tour seeing him roast

729
00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:43,640
Speaker 2: literally everybody so double teaming I think a lot. I mean,

730
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:46,320
Speaker 2: it's in Rudy's face, but it's a little bit in

731
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:49,760
Speaker 2: Chris Finch's face as well. Do something different. That being said,

732
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:53,240
Speaker 2: the Wolves have tried everything possible against Luca. There's a

733
00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:55,720
Speaker 2: clip going around on Twitter they tried eight different coverages

734
00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:58,720
Speaker 2: against Luca in Game three. So it does it matter?

735
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:02,400
Speaker 2: Probably not. That's why I tell defense completely overrated. It

736
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:05,480
Speaker 2: doesn't matter in the biggest moments, right.

737
00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:07,800
Speaker 1: I love in that club too. There's the shot of

738
00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:10,120
Speaker 1: McDaniel's after the switch occurs, and you can see him

739
00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:13,760
Speaker 1: in the background before he's even like dribbled into the shot,

740
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:18,080
Speaker 1: going oh god, damn it there. Yeah, I know, I

741
00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:19,760
Speaker 1: know in a way, yeah, I mean I thought was

742
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:21,600
Speaker 1: the game plan, I know, I know for sure it

743
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:23,360
Speaker 1: Actually we had just done it, so it was maybe

744
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:26,360
Speaker 1: fresh in our memory. But like we talked about the

745
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:29,080
Speaker 1: best Mike Breen double bank calls, and we looked at

746
00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:32,000
Speaker 1: the Luca one in the bubble versus Kawhi and the Clippers,

747
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:34,400
Speaker 1: and we pointed out, why the hell did Kawhi just

748
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:36,840
Speaker 1: give up the switch to Reggie Jackson, And how is

749
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:39,520
Speaker 1: Reggie Jackson gonna stick with Luca? And you know, so

750
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:43,000
Speaker 1: small Reggie Jackson giant Rudy Gobert. There's a difference there.

751
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:45,280
Speaker 1: But like one's a guard, one's a center for crying

752
00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:47,040
Speaker 1: out loud. It reminded me a little bit of that,

753
00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:51,320
Speaker 1: at least the defensive strategy. But yeah, maybe in the

754
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:54,640
Speaker 1: end it probably wouldn't have mattered. But Draymond was happy.

755
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:57,080
Speaker 1: Oh god, it was this guy pumped.

756
00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:02,320
Speaker 2: That whole postgame press conference or inside was basically just

757
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:03,800
Speaker 2: Draymond trying to get everybody else.

758
00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:05,120
Speaker 3: To agree Rudy sucks. Yeah. Yeah.

759
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:07,120
Speaker 2: He literally said it, Rudy sucks.

760
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:09,680
Speaker 3: Not me. Yeah yeah, to send it to the fans

761
00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:13,280
Speaker 3: who are ridiculous. You were chanting, you know, Draybod sucks.

762
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:17,279
Speaker 3: What are you talking about. It's Rudy who sucks me. Yeah.

763
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:19,719
Speaker 3: That was rough. But as as you said, it was

764
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:21,399
Speaker 3: the guys who could make the shots versus the guys

765
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:23,920
Speaker 3: who did make the shots. I know it's obviously on

766
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:27,319
Speaker 3: Finchy and on Mike and Nory to some extent, but

767
00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:30,279
Speaker 3: they did try everything. Cat was on the bench for

768
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:32,600
Speaker 3: that end of that game. They tried that. They sat

769
00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:34,840
Speaker 3: Rudy in Game three for a lot of the fourth quarter.

770
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:38,480
Speaker 3: They tried different things. One side made the shots, the

771
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:41,120
Speaker 3: other side did not. Yes, and that's what it comes

772
00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:43,680
Speaker 3: down to. So it is tough for Rudy to get

773
00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:47,719
Speaker 3: a side to sign from the guard who's faster than him.

774
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:50,080
Speaker 3: Let's be honest. As Lucas said, that was the best

775
00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:52,520
Speaker 3: part to think about it. The TNT post conference, a

776
00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:56,200
Speaker 3: postgame conference there he said, yeah, I'm faster than him.

777
00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:59,600
Speaker 3: I'm not fast, but I'm faster than him, And yeah,

778
00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:02,040
Speaker 3: yeah you are. I mean that was that was an

779
00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:04,400
Speaker 3: on an island. So what is Rudy really gonna do.

780
00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:08,560
Speaker 1: So one thing as we get to game four tonight

781
00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:10,560
Speaker 1: again with Dallas trying to close this out, is they

782
00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:12,680
Speaker 1: are going to be short a key guy and that

783
00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:16,080
Speaker 1: is their rookie Maverick center Derek Lively. A second, he's

784
00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 1: gonna miss Game four. Uh, he was like okay, and

785
00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:22,439
Speaker 1: then he was doubtful. And then I think Chris Haynes

786
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:24,800
Speaker 1: says no, he is out officially with the next Brain.

787
00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:27,200
Speaker 1: And we have the clip of how he, you know,

788
00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:30,040
Speaker 1: picked up this injury and it was Karl Anthony Town's

789
00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:34,400
Speaker 1: need just bang and Lively you know, accidentally of course

790
00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:36,680
Speaker 1: in the back of the head in the skull where

791
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:40,680
Speaker 1: everybody's concerned about concussions and concussion protocol. But there they

792
00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:42,359
Speaker 1: are saying it's the next Brain. But he's gonna miss

793
00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:45,160
Speaker 1: this game. And this guy's been amazing, He's been absolutely amazing.

794
00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:47,080
Speaker 1: So maybe, you know, maybe this opens the door a

795
00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:50,600
Speaker 1: tiny bit for the Worl's chances to at least extend

796
00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:54,359
Speaker 1: this series because he's been a stud at protecting the rim.

797
00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:57,879
Speaker 1: He's obviously the best maybe love threat in the game

798
00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:00,280
Speaker 1: right now. Especially when Luca and Kyrie the ones asking

799
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:03,080
Speaker 1: to him, and then his action in the four on

800
00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:05,759
Speaker 1: three in the short role position, he can do that

801
00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:08,279
Speaker 1: and Gafford can't really do that, and that's one sort

802
00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:11,080
Speaker 1: of limitation of him. So maybe that's you know, Wolves

803
00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:13,200
Speaker 1: just piling it on that double that blitz on Lucan,

804
00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:16,239
Speaker 1: making Gafford or whoever else, if it's PJ as a

805
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:18,680
Speaker 1: small ball five Mexic Cleba could come back. You know,

806
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:22,439
Speaker 1: we'll see. But do you think this at least gives

807
00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:24,400
Speaker 1: the Wolves a fighting chance to maybe extend this and

808
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:25,880
Speaker 1: get them back to Minnesota lively?

809
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:28,160
Speaker 2: It has been awesome, Like he's been shutting it down

810
00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:31,200
Speaker 2: in the fourth quarter and like you're saying, the rent

811
00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:33,000
Speaker 2: protection is great, but the passing in the four on

812
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:35,120
Speaker 2: threes is really big. I just think that the Mavericks

813
00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:38,279
Speaker 2: would probably first try Gafford. He was pretty great. I

814
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:42,160
Speaker 2: think closing Game three against the Timberwolves, had the big

815
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:44,319
Speaker 2: block where he celebrated, then had the big dunk, so

816
00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:48,360
Speaker 2: he's like, I only got one celebration. Yeah, on the grounds,

817
00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:54,000
Speaker 2: guy's going ultimate warrior mode. But I mean Dwight Powell

818
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:56,120
Speaker 2: will get a little bit around that guy's been playing

819
00:36:56,160 --> 00:37:01,200
Speaker 2: there since Derek Harper was a Maverick. But I imagine

820
00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:03,839
Speaker 2: it would probably be a small ball lineup because you'll

821
00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:06,480
Speaker 2: want that playmaker in the middle, whether it be PJ. Rowland.

822
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:08,520
Speaker 2: He's got a nice little floater game that he can

823
00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:11,560
Speaker 2: get to a decent passer Derek Jones Junior as well.

824
00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:15,560
Speaker 2: So I think that would probably be the case for

825
00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:18,560
Speaker 2: the Mavericks. Peblicy they it would behoove them to take

826
00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:20,439
Speaker 2: care of business here so that Lively gets an even

827
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:22,759
Speaker 2: longer rest until the final starts because they will need

828
00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:25,080
Speaker 2: him for the finals. But man, that was a nasty

829
00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:26,880
Speaker 2: need to the head and it came like two minutes

830
00:37:26,920 --> 00:37:29,160
Speaker 2: after he got kned in the nuts as well as

831
00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:30,920
Speaker 2: like the worst two minute stretch he's had as a

832
00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:31,560
Speaker 2: player probably.

833
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:33,400
Speaker 1: And I have watched a lot of these games of

834
00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:36,280
Speaker 1: this conference finals with you, and I feel like, NonStop

835
00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:39,160
Speaker 1: we're talking about goddamn Derek Lively's awesome because he makes

836
00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:41,440
Speaker 1: the man. He keeps making play after play. He's averaging

837
00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:44,600
Speaker 1: ten and eight basically in the three games against the Wolves,

838
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:47,000
Speaker 1: He's thirteen to thirteen from the floor because a lot

839
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:49,880
Speaker 1: of them are dunks. He knows his role, but plus

840
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:52,080
Speaker 1: twenty two in his minutes through those three games, minus

841
00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:55,120
Speaker 1: nine when he's been off, So again, that maybe votes

842
00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:56,160
Speaker 1: well for the Wolves tonight.

843
00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:58,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure, ja Kid has played it well. He

844
00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:00,560
Speaker 3: brings him off the bench, but he's the who closes

845
00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:03,480
Speaker 3: games until Game three when Gafford was that guy closing

846
00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:05,880
Speaker 3: his first game of the series, playing the most fourth

847
00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:09,440
Speaker 3: Quarner minutes of the series, and he came through, So

848
00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:12,239
Speaker 3: you've got to go with that as the majority of

849
00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:15,000
Speaker 3: the center minutes. And then Dwight Powell, the longest tenured MAV.

850
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:17,279
Speaker 3: He's been there the longest, right I think so? Yeah,

851
00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:20,799
Speaker 3: of any Dallas Maverick to be the backup center and

852
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:23,439
Speaker 3: play some minutes, but gafferd showed that he can close

853
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:27,240
Speaker 3: it out the way these guys at the top are leading,

854
00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:30,600
Speaker 3: everybody sort of fallows fallows suit and Gafford has become

855
00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:32,000
Speaker 3: even better. And that's why they were such a good

856
00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:35,399
Speaker 3: team from the trade deadline, not because they're Their top

857
00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:37,920
Speaker 3: guys are so good, so everybody just clicks down in

858
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:38,719
Speaker 3: that packing order.

859
00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:42,560
Speaker 1: Dallas center Maxi Kleiba is closer to a return, though

860
00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:45,800
Speaker 1: he's been out since May seventh, with that shoulder injury,

861
00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:49,360
Speaker 1: but he is officially questionable for Game four tonight, so

862
00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:52,719
Speaker 1: it's possible we do see him in this in this game.

863
00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:54,719
Speaker 1: We talked about it before the series, so you know,

864
00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:57,040
Speaker 1: can he come back. If he comes back, he obviously

865
00:38:57,080 --> 00:38:59,560
Speaker 1: stretches the floor, gives him some defense. So if he's

866
00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:01,480
Speaker 1: good to go, I think Kid would try him for

867
00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:03,799
Speaker 1: a couple of minutes here. Otherwise, like you guys, said

868
00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:07,319
Speaker 1: Dwight Powell, again, maybe PJ Washington sort of small ball

869
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:11,120
Speaker 1: five when Gafford's on the bench, but they have guys,

870
00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:13,160
Speaker 1: I mean, and making that move to get to get

871
00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:15,080
Speaker 1: Gafford was of course huge. I mean, he's their starter

872
00:39:15,120 --> 00:39:16,960
Speaker 1: for crying out loud and then Lively's been coming off

873
00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:20,200
Speaker 1: the bench but closing. So hopefully it's nothing too too

874
00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:23,799
Speaker 1: serious where he's back for either Game five or you know,

875
00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:26,759
Speaker 1: fingers crossed on NBA Finals. I wouldn't you would think

876
00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:31,680
Speaker 1: he would be though, that was brutal looking got like

877
00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:35,120
Speaker 1: Karl Anthony Towns two of all guys, Field just has

878
00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:38,759
Speaker 1: like a like a giant knee for some reason, or

879
00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:41,040
Speaker 1: it doesn't always own strength or whatever is the best

880
00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:42,880
Speaker 1: way to put it. Like, does that would hurt a

881
00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:45,760
Speaker 1: lot no matter who it is, but especially him. Anything

882
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:48,640
Speaker 1: else you're watching for in tonight's game or anything else

883
00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:49,560
Speaker 1: from these three games so.

884
00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:53,879
Speaker 3: Far, I got nothing else. I mean, I really want

885
00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:56,880
Speaker 3: to see a fourth quarter where the Wolves performed a

886
00:39:56,920 --> 00:40:00,840
Speaker 3: little better. That's it. That's what it comes down to.

887
00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:04,360
Speaker 3: Those games. Again, the Wolves were up four three plus

888
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:06,680
Speaker 3: minute left in game one. They're up five with a

889
00:40:06,719 --> 00:40:09,319
Speaker 3: minute thirty left in game two, and they're tied with

890
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:11,960
Speaker 3: four to thirty left, and that was the worst one.

891
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:14,560
Speaker 3: In game three they were they're tied. That that was

892
00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:17,480
Speaker 3: the worst finish for them because they just got spanked

893
00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:19,719
Speaker 3: and they didn't score at all. So this is this

894
00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:21,920
Speaker 3: is the guy at is the guy that we've been

895
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:23,200
Speaker 3: talking about. So I better.

896
00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:25,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, Ellis is shooting sixty one percent in the

897
00:40:25,680 --> 00:40:29,360
Speaker 2: clutch in this series and Minnesota is shooting thirty five percent.

898
00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:33,080
Speaker 2: That's the series right there. Really other little notes from this.

899
00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:35,840
Speaker 2: Got to give a little sprinkle of love to Jayden

900
00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:38,960
Speaker 2: Hardy seven points and eleven minutes. He's everaging six per

901
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:41,080
Speaker 2: game and ten minutes, shooting forty six percent from the

902
00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:44,960
Speaker 2: field fifty from three. Just took all of the wing

903
00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:47,520
Speaker 2: minutes for the Mavericks, noep out of nowhere. Basically, like

904
00:40:48,239 --> 00:40:50,200
Speaker 2: Jason Kidd realized, we got to have somebody else who

905
00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:51,799
Speaker 2: can do something with the ball in his hands. When

906
00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:54,040
Speaker 2: either Luca or Kyrie goes to the bench, he's playing

907
00:40:54,040 --> 00:40:56,439
Speaker 2: alongside both of them, getting to the free throw line,

908
00:40:56,480 --> 00:40:58,200
Speaker 2: making his shots when he needs to. I think he's

909
00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:01,040
Speaker 2: been pretty impressive. You mentioned the and he Edwards dunk.

910
00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:02,960
Speaker 2: Unfortunately it came in a loss, so I feel like

911
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:08,040
Speaker 2: it's kind of gotta be forgotten a little bit. Just sky,

912
00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:11,640
Speaker 2: he jumps so high his waist is at Gafferd's head

913
00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:13,839
Speaker 2: when he dunks the ball. Man, Yeah, he jumped from

914
00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:14,600
Speaker 2: outside the lane.

915
00:41:14,920 --> 00:41:17,319
Speaker 1: The photos that are going around like you're like, there's

916
00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:20,319
Speaker 1: there's no way he's going from where he is to

917
00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:23,080
Speaker 1: dunking it just he looks too far away with too

918
00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:25,319
Speaker 1: many people in front of him. But like it's just

919
00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:27,080
Speaker 1: the ability to hang in the air, and like that's

920
00:41:27,080 --> 00:41:30,680
Speaker 1: when you're like, God, that literally that's Michael Jordan. I'm sorry,

921
00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:32,880
Speaker 1: that's exactly what Michael Jordan and Michael Jordan looked like

922
00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:36,160
Speaker 1: it's identical. But he's got to he's gotta come through,

923
00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:38,200
Speaker 1: like Michael Jordan the clutch here in game four, he

924
00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:40,359
Speaker 1: needs to like, no, he did, like he got more

925
00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:44,399
Speaker 1: shots up in game three he you know he there

926
00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:46,120
Speaker 1: was that stretch where the jumper was falling. We were

927
00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:48,560
Speaker 1: getting all excited watching it, like, oh oh, he's got

928
00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:50,360
Speaker 1: the jumper going now because he hit like back to

929
00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:52,319
Speaker 1: back there and tough fade away hit another one re

930
00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:54,640
Speaker 1: stepped into it. But then yeah, just like the job

931
00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:57,080
Speaker 1: that Dallas is doing is great. They are really trying

932
00:41:57,120 --> 00:41:58,600
Speaker 1: to just force the ball out of his hands. And

933
00:41:58,640 --> 00:42:02,280
Speaker 1: then if his sort of his Robin in Karl Anthony Towns,

934
00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:05,320
Speaker 1: I guess it's catwoman more like it. He can't sorry,

935
00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:08,560
Speaker 1: he can't he gain a shot man. The guy's been brutal,

936
00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:10,200
Speaker 1: like he obviously came to three, and then when he

937
00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:12,480
Speaker 1: goes to the rim, it's like, oh boy, I'm not

938
00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:14,120
Speaker 1: sure he has a plan when he attacks there and

939
00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:16,680
Speaker 1: he's missed bunnies too, and you see the frustration. What

940
00:42:16,719 --> 00:42:18,960
Speaker 1: was it After the game He's like, I shoot fifteen

941
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:20,600
Speaker 1: hundred shots a day. I don't know what's going on.

942
00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:23,640
Speaker 1: Of course, then we had Kenny and Co. Like saying no,

943
00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:26,760
Speaker 1: you don't do no, no, and they're right, he doesn't.

944
00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:29,440
Speaker 1: I'm sure he gets up shots every day. He's exaggerating,

945
00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:31,880
Speaker 1: but he's picked a wrong time to go ice cold

946
00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:33,880
Speaker 1: because we could stop talking about how impressive he had

947
00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:36,359
Speaker 1: been in the first two rounds of the playoffs.

948
00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:39,799
Speaker 3: It is disappointing that that dunk will get overlooked. Let's

949
00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:43,640
Speaker 3: be quite honest. Yeah, because NBA dot com slash stats

950
00:42:43,640 --> 00:42:47,360
Speaker 3: did a nice sports science on it. Max's ball of

951
00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:51,240
Speaker 3: height eleven point one seven feet three point four meters.

952
00:42:51,239 --> 00:42:53,440
Speaker 3: That's how he got it was over eleven feet. His

953
00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:56,319
Speaker 3: vertical thirty nine point nine to three inches, so that's

954
00:42:56,360 --> 00:43:05,200
Speaker 3: a meter I'm translating. Jesus takeoff distance clean takeoff instance

955
00:43:05,440 --> 00:43:09,480
Speaker 3: eight point six four feet away from the hoop two

956
00:43:09,520 --> 00:43:12,640
Speaker 3: point six three meters and ball speed through the rim.

957
00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:14,440
Speaker 3: I didn't know that they could do. Okay, this is

958
00:43:14,560 --> 00:43:16,400
Speaker 3: this is for the baseball fans out here. I guess

959
00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:19,120
Speaker 3: thirty point one to three miles per hour, so nearly

960
00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:22,160
Speaker 3: fifty kilometers an hour. He threw that thing down. I

961
00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:24,760
Speaker 3: don't know how you do that, NBA dot Com slash stats.

962
00:43:25,080 --> 00:43:26,479
Speaker 3: It was a thirty mp so.

963
00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:31,120
Speaker 1: Give me a picture comparison. Tim Wakefield, nice one the

964
00:43:31,160 --> 00:43:32,480
Speaker 1: only one I could know that through.

965
00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:36,000
Speaker 3: Slow Charlie Huf very nice, very nice?

966
00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:41,200
Speaker 2: Is that a slow ball jump ball eighty the old.

967
00:43:40,960 --> 00:43:42,680
Speaker 3: One thirty miles an hour would be like a nine

968
00:43:42,760 --> 00:43:45,200
Speaker 3: year old kid. I mean nobody could. You're right, and

969
00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:47,839
Speaker 3: they're Ange League Baseball, they'd be throwing it. Yes.

970
00:43:47,880 --> 00:43:50,879
Speaker 2: This also one other thing that happened in this game,

971
00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:53,400
Speaker 2: Nikail Alexander Walker took a lefty three.

972
00:43:53,760 --> 00:43:56,400
Speaker 1: That was crazy left handed three because he was going

973
00:43:56,480 --> 00:43:58,520
Speaker 1: to be if he shot it with his right Yeah,

974
00:43:58,560 --> 00:44:01,959
Speaker 1: he was like, well I was moving over. Whoops, didn't

975
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:03,440
Speaker 1: hit it? No, no, no, he did it.

976
00:44:03,480 --> 00:44:05,399
Speaker 2: That was weird to see though. I guess that guy

977
00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:08,319
Speaker 2: shooting with his other hand from three, Yeah, that's how

978
00:44:08,320 --> 00:44:10,320
Speaker 2: you could tell the Mavericks were on it defensively.

979
00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:13,200
Speaker 3: Right when you brought up Luca getting his arm yanked

980
00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:16,080
Speaker 3: from God shavm God in practice. I guess that's sort

981
00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:17,719
Speaker 3: of what he was working on kind of. I know

982
00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:19,560
Speaker 3: it was a right handed shot, but like to get

983
00:44:19,600 --> 00:44:22,239
Speaker 3: one taken away because he literally shot a three point

984
00:44:22,239 --> 00:44:24,799
Speaker 3: shot with his left hand and it almost went.

985
00:44:24,960 --> 00:44:28,960
Speaker 1: Yeah it was. It wasn't brutal, yeah, but you know, yeah,

986
00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:30,399
Speaker 1: what's better? I guess get it up on the rim,

987
00:44:30,440 --> 00:44:33,200
Speaker 1: give yourself a chance at the rebound, then just get blocked,

988
00:44:33,400 --> 00:44:34,839
Speaker 1: though you could get fouled.

989
00:44:34,680 --> 00:44:37,200
Speaker 2: Yeah I would. I would have grifted for the fil Yeah,

990
00:44:37,239 --> 00:44:39,120
Speaker 2: that's crazy to see a guy not try for the

991
00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:40,120
Speaker 2: foul in that scenario.

992
00:44:40,200 --> 00:44:42,799
Speaker 1: It's basically what Kyrie does at the rim, where he's like, well,

993
00:44:42,800 --> 00:44:44,440
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get blocked my ray and I'll just finish

994
00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:46,239
Speaker 1: on my left hand. But to kill Alexander Walker taking

995
00:44:46,280 --> 00:44:49,759
Speaker 1: it out to the corner. Three anything else from this

996
00:44:49,960 --> 00:44:53,360
Speaker 1: series or Game three? Anything from the notes? Do you

997
00:44:53,400 --> 00:44:55,239
Speaker 1: think it's over tonight? I think Dallas puts it away

998
00:44:55,239 --> 00:44:57,720
Speaker 1: and we have two sweeps in the conference finals.

999
00:44:57,920 --> 00:45:00,520
Speaker 2: Or will it be like last year's Conference finals one sweep,

1000
00:45:00,640 --> 00:45:02,879
Speaker 2: looked like we had two and then the Celtics went

1001
00:45:03,160 --> 00:45:06,640
Speaker 2: straight right game seven. Kyrie Irving has never lost an

1002
00:45:06,640 --> 00:45:09,120
Speaker 2: elimination game at least fourteen to oho. I think that's right.

1003
00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:11,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's ever we shall see.

1004
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:14,200
Speaker 2: I mean, can they shoot fifty percent for the field

1005
00:45:14,239 --> 00:45:17,480
Speaker 2: for the entire series? Luca and Kyrie taking impossible shots

1006
00:45:17,719 --> 00:45:19,600
Speaker 2: so far? Like tast mentioned one hundred and eighty one

1007
00:45:19,600 --> 00:45:22,200
Speaker 2: to one hundred and eleven for Kyrie and Luca versus

1008
00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:25,239
Speaker 2: Aunt and Cat. Like if Ant or Cat, if either

1009
00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:28,000
Speaker 2: one of them outplays either Luca or Kyrie in any

1010
00:45:28,080 --> 00:45:29,879
Speaker 2: of these games, it's probably two one.

1011
00:45:30,120 --> 00:45:33,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, So can they do it? I mean it also

1012
00:45:33,600 --> 00:45:35,480
Speaker 1: gets forgotten. I didn't mention it, like they were down

1013
00:45:35,520 --> 00:45:38,919
Speaker 1: eighteen points in this game. I think it's another it's

1014
00:45:38,960 --> 00:45:41,480
Speaker 1: a big comeback, Like I know, there's tons of time left,

1015
00:45:41,480 --> 00:45:43,520
Speaker 1: and that was like what the second game in a

1016
00:45:43,600 --> 00:45:45,399
Speaker 1: row in the conference finals, at least where a team

1017
00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:47,239
Speaker 1: had come back from eighteen like the Celtics had in

1018
00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:50,600
Speaker 1: Game three. But still, I mean the Wolves had done well,

1019
00:45:51,320 --> 00:45:53,000
Speaker 1: they had it. They were on the road, of course,

1020
00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:55,000
Speaker 1: where it doesn't even feel like it maybe matters anymore.

1021
00:45:55,920 --> 00:45:57,240
Speaker 1: But do you think it's done tonight?

1022
00:45:58,280 --> 00:46:01,880
Speaker 3: Right? I would say yeah, just because the worst close

1023
00:46:02,120 --> 00:46:04,479
Speaker 3: of the series for the Wolves was in Game three,

1024
00:46:04,640 --> 00:46:07,400
Speaker 3: So I don't know if it gets better. I mean,

1025
00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:09,719
Speaker 3: you think it would get better after losing two like

1026
00:46:09,800 --> 00:46:11,919
Speaker 3: that in the first two where they just couldn't close

1027
00:46:11,920 --> 00:46:14,040
Speaker 3: the game, So I'd say yes. And the fact that

1028
00:46:14,080 --> 00:46:17,719
Speaker 3: the second best game from the Wolves came from Mike

1029
00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:21,759
Speaker 3: Conley really just a little worried about the top two.

1030
00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:24,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, No, for sure, we will see it. Let's

1031
00:46:24,320 --> 00:46:26,680
Speaker 1: hear from you guys. Is it over tonight? Two sweeps

1032
00:46:26,680 --> 00:46:29,680
Speaker 1: in the conference finals and then a big old break

1033
00:46:29,840 --> 00:46:32,960
Speaker 1: get your beach step in questions? Yeah, now for the boys.

1034
00:46:33,280 --> 00:46:35,279
Speaker 1: But before we go, let's get to tweeted.

1035
00:46:34,960 --> 00:46:35,480
Speaker 2: The night.

1036
00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:38,560
Speaker 3: Tweet out the night.

1037
00:46:39,320 --> 00:46:39,600
Speaker 2: Wow.

1038
00:46:41,600 --> 00:46:43,400
Speaker 1: Okay, I will admit this is a weird tweet of

1039
00:46:43,400 --> 00:46:45,920
Speaker 1: the night because this actual tweet of the night's from

1040
00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:50,600
Speaker 1: like three years ago. But the tweet itself was reminded

1041
00:46:50,640 --> 00:46:52,080
Speaker 1: of this old tweet because it was one of those

1042
00:46:52,120 --> 00:46:56,720
Speaker 1: things going around like legendary tweets basically, and so at

1043
00:46:56,880 --> 00:47:00,879
Speaker 1: Joanne Piston fan tweeted retweeted I think about this more

1044
00:47:00,920 --> 00:47:04,239
Speaker 1: often than a person probably should. And the tweet from

1045
00:47:04,239 --> 00:47:07,719
Speaker 1: old Linz way back in the day. Imagine you're on

1046
00:47:07,760 --> 00:47:10,919
Speaker 1: the school basketball team and you're and you text your crush, hey,

1047
00:47:11,360 --> 00:47:13,480
Speaker 1: you come into my game today with this sort of

1048
00:47:13,520 --> 00:47:16,799
Speaker 1: like little sly emoji, little wink emoji, and then they

1049
00:47:16,840 --> 00:47:19,680
Speaker 1: show up your crush does and air Bud drops thirty

1050
00:47:19,719 --> 00:47:25,040
Speaker 1: points on you. Think about that, it would be a

1051
00:47:25,120 --> 00:47:28,200
Speaker 1: tragedy and uh, you know, for those that don't know

1052
00:47:28,200 --> 00:47:30,960
Speaker 1: who the hell air Bud is, what I say to that.

1053
00:47:31,000 --> 00:47:34,200
Speaker 1: But Airbud a legendary athlete, the bo Jackson of dogs

1054
00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:37,920
Speaker 1: play all the sports. And it's got some photos here

1055
00:47:37,920 --> 00:47:40,680
Speaker 1: because we did a film session once on Airbud, and

1056
00:47:40,719 --> 00:47:42,680
Speaker 1: I love every time I see a photo of this

1057
00:47:42,760 --> 00:47:44,840
Speaker 1: dog wearing shoes, it makes me smile.

1058
00:47:45,719 --> 00:47:49,279
Speaker 2: Look this kid in the background tire shoe ridiculous. Yeah yeah, yeah,

1059
00:47:49,280 --> 00:47:50,359
Speaker 2: getting carried by a dog.

1060
00:47:50,480 --> 00:47:53,200
Speaker 1: And then in looking for photos of Airbud, I found

1061
00:47:53,200 --> 00:47:56,520
Speaker 1: this t shirt that I'm thinking about buying because I

1062
00:47:56,520 --> 00:47:57,160
Speaker 1: don't mind it.

1063
00:47:58,360 --> 00:48:00,200
Speaker 2: When did Airbud wear sunglass?

1064
00:48:00,239 --> 00:48:02,360
Speaker 1: I think I think there's a quick scene in the

1065
00:48:02,400 --> 00:48:04,920
Speaker 1: movie where he's kind them on. I think, unless it's

1066
00:48:04,920 --> 00:48:08,960
Speaker 1: one of the other franchises, I don't know. Anyway, Airbud

1067
00:48:09,080 --> 00:48:13,040
Speaker 1: the movie, cool shirt there, and great tweet.

1068
00:48:12,960 --> 00:48:13,800
Speaker 3: You love Airbud?

1069
00:48:14,560 --> 00:48:16,120
Speaker 2: I sort of.

1070
00:48:16,280 --> 00:48:17,920
Speaker 3: I feel like the only one who mentions it.

1071
00:48:18,080 --> 00:48:20,520
Speaker 1: I love Airbud, but I also hate air Bud in

1072
00:48:20,600 --> 00:48:22,160
Speaker 1: a weird way. I wasn't high on the movie. I

1073
00:48:22,200 --> 00:48:23,160
Speaker 1: remember when we watched it.

1074
00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:25,520
Speaker 2: Nobody's high on the I but it's fun to watch.

1075
00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:28,120
Speaker 1: It's fun to watch. There's nothing in the rule book

1076
00:48:28,120 --> 00:48:30,600
Speaker 1: that says a dog can't play basketball, so there's that

1077
00:48:30,680 --> 00:48:31,040
