00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:10,040
Speaker 1: got some games talk about. I got some news a

20
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 1: little bit later, but let's start with that physical Rockets

21
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:18,320
Speaker 1: Warriors game. Two, Jalen Green scoring thirty eight, helping the

22
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 1: Rockets even this series with the one oh nine ninety

23
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 1: four win over the Warriors. The big story though, from

24
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 1: this was Jimmy Butler getting undercut there on a first

25
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 1: half rebound attempt and he fell hard on his tailbone,

26
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:35,960
Speaker 1: eventually sent him limping back to the locker room, where

27
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 1: he would remain for the rest of the night. And

28
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 1: he's going to get an MRI today back in the

29
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 1: Bay Area. We'll wait to see whether he can play

30
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:46,760
Speaker 1: in Game three. But this had an impact removing Jimmy

31
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 1: Butler from the Warriors offense and even defensively maybe be

32
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 1: one of those guys that could have slowed down Jail

33
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 1: and Green a little bit.

34
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:54,919
Speaker 2: What do you think, well, good sign is that Jimmy

35
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 2: Butler played two more possessions after that and then said

36
00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 2: I got to get the heck off this floor and

37
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 2: again out there. So woo see what the MRI says

38
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 2: that being said and why I had to kind of

39
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:09,520
Speaker 2: wonder when you said you were undercut by Amn Thompson.

40
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 2: This was Steve Steven Adams that caused this injury. Oh yes,

41
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:19,119
Speaker 2: after watching, after watching a billion times, Draymond Green definitely

42
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 2: touched Amn Thompson. But I think this happens only because

43
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 2: of Steven Adams. This happens regardless whether or not Draymond

44
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 2: Green touched him or not, because Steven Adams was going

45
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 2: for the offensive rebound. He knew where he was going.

46
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 2: He's a monstrous man, He's got a plan. Men Thompson

47
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 2: jumped up into the air, Steven Adams went to his

48
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 2: spot and he just propelled off of a Men Thompson.

49
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 2: That sixty five pounds difference sent a Men Thompson a

50
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 2: flying And yeah, Draymond Green touched his arm a little bit.

51
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 2: It's kind of like a WW wrestling thing where a

52
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 2: guy's flying across the ring and the guy sort of

53
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 2: whips him. Really regardless, Steven Adams caused him and Thompson

54
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 2: to go flying to Jimmy Butler's but and that's guys.

55
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 1: Guys were fighting for a rebounds and then on Men

56
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 1: Thompson trips and then goes crashing under Jimmy Butler that too.

57
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 1: You know, I don't think anyone's to blame just trying

58
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 1: to go get a board because playoff basketball.

59
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:16,919
Speaker 2: But everybody wants to blame Draymond.

60
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm joking about that.

61
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 2: A lot of people want to blame Draymond Green. Because

62
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 2: people blame Draymond Green. I got no problem blaming Jamond Green.

63
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:24,960
Speaker 2: Whin it's stream on Green's fault, but in this case,

64
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,640
Speaker 2: Steven Adams gives him a shot. It is unfortunate. I

65
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:31,080
Speaker 2: do think the Rockets were going to win this game regardless.

66
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 2: They were up seven when Jimmy Butler got hit. They're

67
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 2: playing so well at cutting way behind the Golden State

68
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 2: Warriors with those baseline cuts. They had three dunks and

69
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 2: one layup in the first nine minutes of this game.

70
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 2: The baseline cuts were awesome. Jalen Green was was obviously

71
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 2: and finding guys. He found in men Thompson twice and

72
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 2: he started scoring the ball. He might say, well, and

73
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 2: men Thompson also got into foul trouble in this game,

74
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 2: so if he leaves, can the Warriors fight back. Maybe,

75
00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 2: But this was the Rockets figuring out war team plays

76
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 2: up defensively, they lack size, and the Rockets were doing

77
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 2: a good job of getting to the baseline.

78
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's internal belief that Jimmy Butler is gonna be okay.

79
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 1: It's nothing too serious again. Game three is uncertain, but man,

80
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 1: the diagnosis here identical to recent Warriors injuries that sideline

81
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 1: Curry and Kaminga with these like tailbone injuries or pelvic

82
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 1: intrusions what they're called. You know, Kurry ended up missing

83
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 1: one game in the regular season. I guess Kaminga missed

84
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 1: a couple.

85
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:29,920
Speaker 2: I thought it was the flip.

86
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 3: I thought it was. But it is basically a pain

87
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,720
Speaker 3: tolerance thing. I think it's pelvic contusion, not pelvic intrusion.

88
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 3: Pelvic intrusions a little bit different. I don't know what

89
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 3: I was doing, Butler, pelvis is one of the funniest

90
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 3: words on the human body. Yeah, I mean, name five

91
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 3: funnier words. You can't do it. It's a frenuline, know

92
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 3: that one. That's the little courage hanging ball in the

93
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:57,360
Speaker 3: back of your throat. No wait, that's the uvula that's

94
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:02,840
Speaker 3: also on the list. Nonetheless, tough stuff for Jimmy that

95
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 3: looked like it really hurt. It's going to be a

96
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:06,480
Speaker 3: pain tolerance thing. Unfortunately for him, he's got to sit

97
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:08,920
Speaker 3: on his butt anytime he flies back to the bay.

98
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 3: That kind of stuff. Ask the stream team who was

99
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,920
Speaker 3: at fault for the Jimmy fall. Forty seven percent think

100
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 3: it's a total accident. Thirty six percent of the blame

101
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 3: goes to Draymond Green, and then sixteen percent goes to

102
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 3: on Men Thompson is what the stream team says. Definitely,

103
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 3: Warriors fans thought it was a Men Thompson's fault because

104
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:26,840
Speaker 3: he's got a little bit of a reputation here. He

105
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 3: had a hard fall on Giannis. He's kind of been

106
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 3: a little reckless, more so above the shoulders, I think

107
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 3: on some plays this year because he plays so hard defensively.

108
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 3: But I'm with you, guys, I think it was an accident.

109
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 3: There's a lot of bodies flying around in the lane,

110
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 3: and that's kind of somebody's going to get hurt when

111
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 3: the referees let the game play out the way they've

112
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,159
Speaker 3: let this series play out so far, it's super rough inside.

113
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 3: When Steven Adams is in, it's going to be even

114
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 3: rougher inside. They got their biggest guys out there in

115
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:55,719
Speaker 3: Looney as well, So a body went flying. Unfortunately, it

116
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:59,040
Speaker 3: was so poorly timed that Jimmy got taken out of

117
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 3: the air man. The fall totally nasty, But the Warriors

118
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 3: are in trouble if Jimmy can't play. I mean, I

119
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,480
Speaker 3: don't think they'll win a game that Jimmy isn't healthy

120
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:09,280
Speaker 3: for unless Steph goes for forty five to fifty points. Right.

121
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 1: But you see, I mean they start to look like

122
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 1: the Warriors of old, like the pre Jimmy Butler Warriors,

123
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 1: when they were struggling yea, and everybody was saying, man,

124
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:17,359
Speaker 1: they got to do something. They got to get Curry

125
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:20,280
Speaker 1: some help here, because then you see the Rockets game

126
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,720
Speaker 1: plan and Udoka how they want to take Steph Curry

127
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 1: out of the game and obviously get physical with them.

128
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 1: Currently attempted eight shots in the first half, fifteen for

129
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:29,920
Speaker 1: the game total, finished with as many turnovers as he

130
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:32,920
Speaker 1: did field goals made. And I want to give kudos

131
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 1: to Jalen Green defensively. I thought he was really good

132
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:37,720
Speaker 1: in this game. You know, he had the thirty eight

133
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,160
Speaker 1: points in the eight threes and that gets all the headlines.

134
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 1: But he feels like one of these players and we

135
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:43,919
Speaker 1: all know them, right either in high school, if you

136
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,279
Speaker 1: played at the college level, even pickup basketball, there are

137
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:49,359
Speaker 1: these guys that like when their offensive game is going

138
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 1: and they're hitting shots, they play a little harder defensively

139
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 1: and they give a little more effort and some they

140
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 1: just pair together a little bit better. And I thought

141
00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,039
Speaker 1: I thought that sort of translated here in this game too,

142
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 1: because he was awesome. One a couple jump balls he forced,

143
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 1: He was active, moving his feet and stuff like that.

144
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:06,599
Speaker 1: So good game from him on both sides.

145
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was good. Well, I would say the Warriors,

146
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 2: we're gonna lose this game because their third best player,

147
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 2: Brandon p Jemski, was also not healthy. He was definitely

148
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 2: sick in this game. His first three chucks were chucks.

149
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 2: I mean he threw a mid range shot off the backboard.

150
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 2: He had some sort of food poisoning, and he was

151
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 2: over in this game. They needed somebody to come out,

152
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 2: and so yeah, here comes Jonathan Kaminga, who hasn't played

153
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 2: in a long time. You got to come out and

154
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 2: solve it.

155
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 1: So come on out of the doghouse, Kaminga.

156
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 3: He wasn't expecting to play. He was not ready to play.

157
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 3: You could tell. Pat Spencer checked in at the exact

158
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 3: same time. Pat Spencer played better than Jonathan Minga did.

159
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 3: Kaminga came in smiling and laughing when eleven points four

160
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 3: of twelve from the field. He only got credit for

161
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 3: one turnover. It should have been like six or seven.

162
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 3: The guy could not catch the ball, couldn't rebound like

163
00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 3: these are the problems with Kaminga. They ran a line

164
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 3: up out there after Jimmy went down with his injury.

165
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 3: It was a lineup of Moody, Pajemski who was hurting

166
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 3: or was feeling sick, Buddy healed, Gie Santos, and Kevon

167
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 3: Looney And you're like, literally, who's gonna score for this team?

168
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 3: They have to put in Comminica. Kmiedia goes to the

169
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 3: scorers table right away. This is a big opportunity for

170
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 3: him to get out of the doghouse, do the little things,

171
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 3: show some effort, and he was a complete dud. So

172
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 3: now it's like they'd need him again in Game three

173
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 3: because Curry can't play forty eight minutes. They're gonna need

174
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 3: some sort of offense. But how can Steve Kerr have

175
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 3: any confidence that this guy's going to do anything to

176
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 3: help them win a game.

177
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:35,319
Speaker 2: I thought it was a little odd that Moses Moody

178
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:38,079
Speaker 2: was having his best game in a while and Steve

179
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 2: Kerr pulled him. He only played him fifteen seconds in

180
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,560
Speaker 2: the second quarter after he had a seven point first quarter.

181
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 2: He looked good. And it's Moses Moody that I'm bringing

182
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 2: up because, as you said, when you look down at

183
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 2: the list, Pat Spencer, sure play him. Gie Santos was

184
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:55,439
Speaker 2: not playing well. I mean, you got to play who

185
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 2: you got, and Moses Moody was follow it, and so

186
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 2: I was a little surprised that he say, get the

187
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 2: heck out of here. But I'm just trying to be positive.

188
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 2: We'll see how many how many games Butler misses. Maybe

189
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:09,440
Speaker 2: it's just one, maybe it's zero.

190
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean they have a couple of days off here, Yeah,

191
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:14,560
Speaker 1: for sure. And you see what the MRI says, and

192
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:16,680
Speaker 1: they do have some experience again with these sort of

193
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 1: tailbone issues. As for the Rockets, though not only Green

194
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 1: obviously contributing, Shangun was great seventeen points, sixteen boards, seven assists.

195
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 1: Tarry Easan I thought was a nice spark off the bench.

196
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:30,080
Speaker 1: He had fourteen points. Then he had a weird decision

197
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 1: to throw a towel later in the game, though he

198
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 1: didn't nail. Did he nail Spencer? Was it Spencer that

199
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:38,560
Speaker 1: got the towel to the face perfectly? I mean, you know,

200
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 1: you're like, Okay, you don't really need to do that.

201
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 1: But anyway, I thought he was great when he was

202
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 1: on the floor. And if you remove the towel part

203
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,080
Speaker 1: of the equation, so they just got enough. And yeah,

204
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 1: maybe they would have I don't know, like you're saying,

205
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:50,719
Speaker 1: they probably would have won this game regardless. I think

206
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 1: it completely changes the game when Jimmy Butler, we saw

207
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 1: what he did in game one, we know what he's

208
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:58,320
Speaker 1: capable of doing. I think it's more competitive because again,

209
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 1: it just like it just they suddenly become the old

210
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 1: Warriors that were floundering for months. Yeah when you take

211
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 1: them out.

212
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 2: So yeah, to me, this is just me sitting here

213
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:07,840
Speaker 2: and saying, well, the Rockets lost game one, Game two,

214
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,200
Speaker 2: they played an entire deally different game. They weren't going

215
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:13,679
Speaker 2: to go to Golden State down two. Oh and their

216
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 2: season was on the line.

217
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, so was the lost win game.

218
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:16,559
Speaker 1: Yeah.

219
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 3: It was the first must win game of the playoffs

220
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 3: and they did it, the.

221
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 2: First musk win game of the playoffs. I would say,

222
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 2: you know, oh, absolutely not. I would say, yeah, the

223
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 2: Rockets just did a better job of using those baseline cuts,

224
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:35,199
Speaker 2: being smarter. They were extremely physical and so I think

225
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 2: Game three will be different. I think the referees are

226
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 2: going to call it a tighter game. They are going

227
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 2: to get ammo be tight, call fouls right away because

228
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 2: there could have been so many fights in this and

229
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 2: if Scott Foster was available, I think he's injured right now.

230
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 3: Wow, yeah it was yesterday right like he was a

231
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:55,679
Speaker 3: game time decision they called them, I think, But I'm

232
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:57,560
Speaker 3: with you. I think that it's going to be a

233
00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:01,320
Speaker 3: great whistle for Steph Curry. And that's because I mean,

234
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:04,840
Speaker 3: you saw the play where Brian Anderson called a foul

235
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 3: Steph hit a three, had Fred Vanvleetz arm wrapped around

236
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 3: his waist as he shot it. He's like, no, actually

237
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 3: not a foul.

238
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 1: That just was good and then sands like a foul.

239
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 3: David Guthrie just didn't call it, And that's completely what

240
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 3: was happening. They get a lot of they get away

241
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 3: with a lot guard. He was Steph Curry like, if

242
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:25,080
Speaker 3: they call a foul for every time this guy got fouled,

243
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:26,679
Speaker 3: the Rockets would not be able to finish the game

244
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 3: with players. So he's gonna go to the free throw

245
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 3: line fifteen times. I imagine in game three.

246
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:33,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, Fred Van Viet had his arm around Curry's waist

247
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 2: before the inbound, as we often see, but that was.

248
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 1: Like a hug.

249
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 2: I mean you could have called the Kyle just like that.

250
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 2: They weren't moving. You literally could have called foul a

251
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 2: ton of times and they will.

252
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:44,719
Speaker 1: Well, no matter who's in there for the Warriors, like

253
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:46,560
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to do a better job rebounding the ball.

254
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 1: We thought this was going to be an issue for

255
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 1: them heading into the series, forty seven to thirty three

256
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 1: rebounding advantage for the Rockets last night. I think they're

257
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 1: plus thirty three in the rebound department through two games now,

258
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:57,839
Speaker 1: so that you know, there's got to do a better job.

259
00:11:57,960 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 1: And I would like to give you a point in

260
00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 1: the instigator draft there, t K. Draymond Green got you

261
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:05,319
Speaker 1: a technical, yeah on.

262
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 3: One more, Yeah, should have been more. They didn't give

263
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 3: him a double tech at the end because he had

264
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 3: the technical earlier, but it should have been a double

265
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 3: tech and an ejection, I do believe. But you'll get

266
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:14,199
Speaker 3: another one though on Thursday. I'm worried.

267
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, absolutely, first.

268
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 3: Half are coming.

269
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:20,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, even earlier he grabbed Dylan Brook's neck. Yeah, and

270
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 2: kind of threw him to the ground. No foul. Yeah,

271
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 2: and so this was a strange one. This was a

272
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 2: strange game. But yes, as we're seeing here the Instigator

273
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 2: draft points Triple D which is Trey's team name, Draymond

274
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 2: Doncic and Darius Garland. They have one. I still have

275
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 2: one my team of Isaiah Stewart, Jason Tatum and Contavious

276
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 2: Caldwell Pope who nearly got another.

277
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 1: One last night.

278
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, someone on the stream team called them the po

279
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:54,559
Speaker 2: Tatum Stu Tatum Stu. Yeah, that's from third Bab on YouTube. Anyway, Skeets,

280
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 2: you got a zippo right now. Dylan Brooks, Anthony Edwards

281
00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 2: and loud Dort surprise and Dylan Brooks.

282
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 1: Dylan was in the mix in a couple of these

283
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 1: little things could have picked up a game tack one

284
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:03,719
Speaker 1: you'll get.

285
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,440
Speaker 2: He had one stupid foul, his third foul and this

286
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 2: would be a point for the Golden State Warriors chance

287
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:12,839
Speaker 2: at winning third foul early second quarter when he hit

288
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 2: a hard shot in Draymond Green's face. So what is

289
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 2: he going to do, Well, he's got to hit Draymond

290
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 2: Green on the way back up the floor for what

291
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:21,439
Speaker 2: reason just to say I'm awesome, because he said to

292
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:22,440
Speaker 2: have a couple of good shots.

293
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:24,960
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, he had some tough like turn around fade

294
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 1: away jumps, solid like a couple of them he hit.

295
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 1: But you're right, that one he thought there was contact.

296
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 1: He felt good about it, So I gotta tell Draymond

297
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 1: right to his face and didn't get assessed anything.

298
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 2: From from the rest. So we got a good race here.

299
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:38,559
Speaker 2: We got a race in the theater.

300
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 1: D So what's my team name? I got two Canadians

301
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:41,599
Speaker 1: and an ant.

302
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 2: Yeah right, I mean I just need.

303
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 3: The north should be your team name. Okay, two Canadians

304
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 3: and then the farthest that's good with Edward.

305
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, I like it.

306
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:52,840
Speaker 2: That's better than mine.

307
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:56,320
Speaker 1: We'll go with that. One fun moment from this game is, uh,

308
00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:57,959
Speaker 1: you know, it was a bit of a slog because

309
00:13:57,960 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 1: it's physical and there's a lot of fouls and nothing.

310
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:02,320
Speaker 1: But at the end of the first half when they

311
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 1: went bonkers trading three point shots, I saw worldwide wob

312
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:08,320
Speaker 1: shared sort of the play by play breakdown. It was

313
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 1: shng gun makes a three from up top, then it

314
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 1: was Buddy Healed makes a three on the right wing.

315
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 1: Then it was Van Vliet makes a three from up top.

316
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:18,080
Speaker 1: That is Steph Curry makes a three from the left wing,

317
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 1: then is Jayalen Green makes a three from the right wing,

318
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 1: and then Steph Curry makes a three from up top.

319
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 1: That happened in about a span of a minute of

320
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 1: game time. Was back and forth there for a good

321
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 1: sixty seconds, which got them some points.

322
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 3: Six threes in a minute, beautiful basketball. And then the

323
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 3: next shot after that was Schngun catches the ball in

324
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 3: the middle of the lane and somehow has a ton

325
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:38,600
Speaker 3: of space around him and he shoots a flat footed

326
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 3: floater from like ten. It was like the most beautiful

327
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 3: six shots you've ever seen. And then a guy who

328
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 3: looks like a duck shooting a floor It looks hilarious.

329
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 3: I was like, oh, this is the same sport. Allegedly,

330
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 3: that was great. Scheng Gun was awesome though in this

331
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 3: when he had the double spin move on Pat Spencer,

332
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 3: and then Quenton Post in Sidepost had a nice game

333
00:14:57,840 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 3: shot it well from three fourth threes. I believe they

334
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 3: that more from him. And then Jalen Green, like we

335
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:06,360
Speaker 3: talked about an awesome game, took eighteen threes and I

336
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 3: think Jalen Green. As soon as he makes one shot,

337
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 3: he's like, he check, I'm shooting it next time, I

338
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 3: get it. No matter what. He was much better in

339
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 3: this game, super aggressive. He seemed to actually have a

340
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 3: plan for what he wanted to do, and he realized

341
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 3: Arian and Rim defenders out there right now, so I

342
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 3: can get to the hoop. He was good.

343
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, that felt like the best Jalen Green distribution game

344
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 2: I have seen, where he's just ready in the lane

345
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 2: to find whoever was cutting because the baseline cuts to

346
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:35,320
Speaker 2: himn Thompson again two extremely early six assists for him.

347
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 2: He felt like that the mind was in the right

348
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 2: place for Jalen Green in this game to both set

349
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 2: up guys and score like a machine and play defense.

350
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 2: This was an incredible game for it.

351
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 1: After a garbage game one yes, where even he admitted

352
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:49,360
Speaker 1: he gave us the Jared Allen quote basically the lights

353
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 1: were too bright or I wasn't you know, expecting go

354
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 1: bright they would be in game one and sort of

355
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 1: got into that playoff rhythm and had it as like

356
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 1: one of his best games of the season. This is

357
00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 1: an incredible game, You're right. Eighteen three ten. Here's where

358
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 1: we're at today his game. I didn't even blink at that,

359
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 1: which is insane. That's a lot of three point attempts

360
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 1: for a guy that's not let's be honest, he's not

361
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 1: Steph Curry from three. It feels like only like a

362
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 1: handful of guy should ever be taking that many. But

363
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 1: that's where we're at, you know, like there weren't many

364
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 1: that were like, ugh, what are you doing? You sort

365
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:19,880
Speaker 1: of in the rhythm of the game, it's just wow,

366
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:24,080
Speaker 1: that's a lot. But is it? It's not anymore? Feels like, yeah,

367
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:28,240
Speaker 1: still it's a lot, but okay, yeah, I guess it is.

368
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 1: But how many times throughout the playoffs the rest of

369
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 1: the playoffs will a guy attempt more than eighteen three pointers?

370
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 3: Great question?

371
00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 2: My guess is zero.

372
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 1: Oh, I'll take the I'll take the over the lines

373
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 1: out of half.

374
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 3: Okay, let's see somebody most three point field goal attempts

375
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 3: in a playoff game.

376
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 2: I gotta gotta load.

377
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 3: My stare load.

378
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 2: I will say you load.

379
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 1: It was Rocket's history for tie rockets.

380
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 3: Okay, so ten times a guy has taken eighteen or

381
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 3: more threes. One time ever a guy has taken more

382
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 3: than eighteen threes Okay, so it's a ton Westbrook took

383
00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 3: nineteen jr. You would guess that's the guy.

384
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 1: Wow, Jared Smith never took it.

385
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 3: Not in the playoffs.

386
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 1: In the playoffs. All right, I guess it is a lot.

387
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 3: I thought about twelve of them were good.

388
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 1: Okay for Jayleen, you'll live with that.

389
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:10,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess with a starting lineup where you have

390
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 2: two guys that ain't shooting threes and men Thompson and

391
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:16,479
Speaker 2: Steven As, somebody's got to shoot him through this this

392
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 2: kind of rubs out the fact that Fred van Vliet

393
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 2: had a bad shooting night again, and so you don't

394
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 2: really notice that just because he's he's been quiet. He

395
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 2: just hasn't been hasn't been feeling it.

396
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:31,879
Speaker 1: Fred As you said that he needs pelvic intrusion, he

397
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 1: needs he needs to get a sun going again or

398
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:35,240
Speaker 1: another child.

399
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 2: Wow, I want that he gets Yeah, yeah, alright, any.

400
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:50,399
Speaker 1: Other thoughts on that game? Rockets tying up the series

401
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 1: and we'll see again Jimmy Butler status and I guess

402
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:55,119
Speaker 1: pot Jamski should be better after the he gets the

403
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:55,680
Speaker 1: poops out.

404
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:57,879
Speaker 3: You think that's what it was because he disappeared for

405
00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 3: a while. I think so and played a little bit more.

406
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 1: I don't think when you when you can't play because

407
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 1: of a stomach galment, it's not because, oh my stomach

408
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:07,439
Speaker 1: is just sore. It's because I gotta be on the

409
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:08,840
Speaker 1: can because I'm gonna crap my chants.

410
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 3: Okay, I gotta think I was. I have saying maybe

411
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:17,480
Speaker 3: it was a mouth extrusion. Yeah, I just don't know

412
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 3: which end it's coming up. Yeah, here's another thing, buddy,

413
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 3: he old I'm seeing here. According to the Stacks, is

414
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:25,320
Speaker 3: three for eight from the field in these two games.

415
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 3: I don't think he's actually made a shot in the

416
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 3: playoffs ever in his life.

417
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:31,680
Speaker 1: It's been quiet.

418
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 3: You would not believed that this guy's like a top

419
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 3: ten all time three point makes guy. It feels like

420
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:38,200
Speaker 3: a dice roll every time he shoots it in the

421
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:40,920
Speaker 3: postseason game. They would like to see him actually makes him.

422
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 3: I think, though allegedly he did last night.

423
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 1: It's three pointer.

424
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:46,639
Speaker 3: Did he make it?

425
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:47,479
Speaker 2: I don't know it?

426
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:49,440
Speaker 1: Oh, well that's what it says here.

427
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 3: Remember says he made one.

428
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:53,440
Speaker 1: Good for him?

429
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, baby steps.

430
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 1: Well let's go from Jalen Green to Jalen Brown. He

431
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 1: scored thirty Celtics beat the magic one nine. No Tatum,

432
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:07,200
Speaker 1: no problem, Boston is up to Oh. I think whether

433
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:10,000
Speaker 1: Tatum plays or not, Trey, We've seen Jalen Brown have

434
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:12,840
Speaker 1: these games where he attacks early and he attacks often.

435
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:14,720
Speaker 1: That was the case in this one, and he finished

436
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 1: with the thirty six, like I said, ten boards, five assists,

437
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 1: and you know, pretty strong performance and promising given that

438
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:26,199
Speaker 1: he had the concerns about his knee. He was awesome

439
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 1: and he was locked in.

440
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, went forty two minutes and still had enough juice

441
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:32,480
Speaker 3: in the fourth quarter that hit three big time baskets,

442
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:35,879
Speaker 3: including one that Iron Eagle called the ephis because he

443
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:39,120
Speaker 3: shot it so high that he the clouds on that one.

444
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 3: But yeah, I don't forget Jalen Brown as a finals MVP.

445
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 3: You know, I thought the offense for the Celtics didn't

446
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:47,439
Speaker 3: look as smooth as it can when Tatum is the

447
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:49,919
Speaker 3: guy kind of leading their drive in kick attack. You

448
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:53,400
Speaker 3: look at Game one, twenty two assists on thirty seven

449
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 3: makes for the Celtics. Last night just seventeen assists on

450
00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 3: thirty six makes. The ball definitely wasn't moving the way

451
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:01,680
Speaker 3: it does when Tatum is to their point forward kind

452
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:05,320
Speaker 3: of guy. But they got it done, and even if

453
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 3: their offense doesn't look like the best offense in the league,

454
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:10,720
Speaker 3: it's going to look better than the Orlando Magic offense.

455
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 3: So great stuff from Jalen Brown. I thought, it's nice

456
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:15,920
Speaker 3: to be able to have a guy who can score

457
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 3: thirty points a game when your leading scorer goes up.

458
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know you're right, You're like, oh my, oh yeah.

459
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:24,399
Speaker 1: We have debates whether this guy might be better than

460
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:27,399
Speaker 1: Tatum any I don't think he is overall, but Jesus,

461
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:29,359
Speaker 1: he has these performances. He knows how to level up.

462
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:31,400
Speaker 1: I think you're always in for a long night. When

463
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 1: Jalen Breen is Jalen Brown is finishing at the rim

464
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:37,960
Speaker 1: with like out using the backboard. This guy loves to

465
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:40,160
Speaker 1: just flip it in from like side, little angles. Most

466
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:42,400
Speaker 1: people are going off the glass. He's like, nah, le's

467
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 1: flip it from a little side here, a little little

468
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:46,639
Speaker 1: drop in. Oh my god. He had that going in

469
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:48,720
Speaker 1: addition to the three pointers that he was feeling confident

470
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:50,000
Speaker 1: about as well. Well.

471
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:52,960
Speaker 2: He did say because of the injury, he learned the

472
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 2: game a little bit differently, and he learned that he's

473
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:57,520
Speaker 2: very skilled. So those back to back buckets with a

474
00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 2: few minutes left when he took Fronz Wagner, a bigger defender,

475
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 2: right into the post and he showed, oh yeah, I

476
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:05,359
Speaker 2: can just take a guy into a post and shoot

477
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:09,959
Speaker 2: over him. And that ephis over Paulo Bancaro, that was,

478
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 2: oh yeah, I'm extremely skilled and talented from the mid range.

479
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 2: I can do this in a different way. I mean,

480
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:18,680
Speaker 2: he took the monstrous Powlo ben Caro into the mid

481
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:21,679
Speaker 2: range and shot it to the moon. So he's got

482
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 2: a multi talent for that guy to be able to

483
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:27,000
Speaker 2: do that. And on the defensive end, like that rip

484
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:30,160
Speaker 2: of Corey Joseph flashed me back to the finals last

485
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 2: year when he did it to Luca. Like, obviously Corey

486
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 2: a much smaller player, but he's able to body guys defensively.

487
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 2: He could do it on both sides. So very similar

488
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 2: to Game one. Yeah, the Celtics didn't have the ball

489
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 2: moving all that much, but in the third quarter they

490
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 2: know how to turn it on. It was a one

491
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:50,159
Speaker 2: point game in Game one into the third quarter, it

492
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:52,880
Speaker 2: was one point game in Game two into the third quarter,

493
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 2: and they just rip off these runs seven to zero

494
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:57,480
Speaker 2: Game two, eleven zero. In Game three, and excuse me

495
00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:00,280
Speaker 2: seven oho game one, eleven zero in Game two, and

496
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:03,720
Speaker 2: that's it. That's it. They didn't look back after that.

497
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:06,280
Speaker 1: Tatum had not missed a playoff game in eight seasons

498
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 1: with Boston and the last time Brown had not played

499
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:13,119
Speaker 1: with him in a playoff game again with Tatum twenty seventeen.

500
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:15,919
Speaker 1: You gotta go back to Game five, which was a

501
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:19,480
Speaker 1: loss to Lebron's Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference Finals. You

502
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:21,560
Speaker 1: guys want to hit me with the Celtics starting lineup

503
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:25,920
Speaker 1: in that Game five loss to the seventeen Lebron Cavs.

504
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:27,480
Speaker 2: They said it in the game.

505
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:28,439
Speaker 1: You can easily get there.

506
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 2: No, yeah, they said it in the the Oh.

507
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:32,480
Speaker 1: Jolen Brown coming off the bench at that point of

508
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:33,680
Speaker 1: his career. That's right, Al.

509
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 3: Horford one of your Isaiah Thomas.

510
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 1: No, no, not that Kyrie Irving.

511
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 3: No, okay, So this is the year I forget what

512
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:42,600
Speaker 3: ye Yes.

513
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:44,040
Speaker 2: I heard them, Marcus Smart?

514
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 1: There you go.

515
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:49,200
Speaker 3: What are we have? Marcus Smart, Horford Tatum?

516
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:52,440
Speaker 1: No, No, I'm saying, this is uh pre Tatum Pretatum?

517
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:54,360
Speaker 3: Oh, this is even pre Tatum? Okay, because he hasn't

518
00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:56,080
Speaker 3: missed the game. Who else would have been around there

519
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:57,360
Speaker 3: Gordon Hayward and now he was hurt.

520
00:22:58,040 --> 00:22:58,200
Speaker 1: Uh.

521
00:22:58,960 --> 00:22:59,440
Speaker 3: Who else?

522
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:04,440
Speaker 1: There's one guy Canadian. I'll give you that big.

523
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:05,960
Speaker 2: He'll rip your shoulder out if he needs.

524
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:12,480
Speaker 1: Kelly Kelly, Yeah, and then you're like guard forwards. No, no,

525
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 1: this guy. These guys never won any sort of accolades,

526
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:19,959
Speaker 1: but uh, we're around for a long time. One you know,

527
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 1: for uh, I was gonna say his he has his

528
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:29,359
Speaker 1: last name rhymes with a popular Boston dish beans.

529
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:31,560
Speaker 3: Kendrick Jeans.

530
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:47,119
Speaker 1: Oh, Carl Jobster, No, no, j Crowder a Boston Crowder. Yeah.

531
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 1: And then the the other guys, Bradley Avery, very b

532
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:57,800
Speaker 1: defensive teams. I guess those Anyway, it was a long time,

533
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:00,720
Speaker 1: was the whole point of that. And first time, you know,

534
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:02,959
Speaker 1: you know, forever. Jalen hadn't played with Ducent Tatum in

535
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:05,240
Speaker 1: a playoff game. Sort of wild to think, yeah, Tatum

536
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:06,919
Speaker 1: had missed one. It's crazy.

537
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, he doesn't miss game, No, he does. He really

538
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:11,480
Speaker 3: doesn't miss games. So he must have been quite sore.

539
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 3: And what I think they play Friday is the next game?

540
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 3: Is that right?

541
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 1: I don't I think so.

542
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 3: I think that's what I said. He sat out that

543
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:20,120
Speaker 3: he would get to rest until Friday, so maybe he'll

544
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:22,160
Speaker 3: play a game three, or maybe they're just like whatever.

545
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:23,680
Speaker 1: Man, Yeah, that's come back when.

546
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:25,880
Speaker 3: You're one hundred percent. It is a shooting room, yes.

547
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:28,000
Speaker 1: Right, he's gonna need It's something you could, yeah, of

548
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:30,160
Speaker 1: course reaggravate and stuff like that. So it's like, Okay,

549
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 1: we feel common that we can take care of the

550
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:32,720
Speaker 1: magic with or without you.

551
00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:34,680
Speaker 3: Wait a second, though, I thought Jason Tatum was a

552
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:38,320
Speaker 3: Celtics legend. I've heard tail of Larry Bird playing left

553
00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:41,239
Speaker 3: handed when he had an injured right role. Step your

554
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:41,960
Speaker 3: game up, Jason.

555
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 2: It is a shame, though, because Bank Arrow and Franz

556
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:48,440
Speaker 2: Wagner were awesome. Yeah, but they absolutely need a third

557
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 2: guy and it just ain't happen. And then Wendell Carter Junior,

558
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:54,720
Speaker 2: he tried, Anthony Blake, he tried. I mean, Carter Junior

559
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:56,440
Speaker 2: was sixteen. That's the most you're going to get from

560
00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 2: him most likely. But Franz Wagner to score over Christops

561
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:00,960
Speaker 2: Porzingis over and over and over again. It was pretty cool.

562
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:04,560
Speaker 2: A giant able to post him up and drive past them.

563
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 2: He got a nice throw down Bocroo doing the same

564
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:12,120
Speaker 2: dunked over porzingis spun on cornet. Some good stuff from

565
00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:14,760
Speaker 2: those two, but it's the Boston Celtics.

566
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 3: They were awesome. The problem is that they have those

567
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:19,320
Speaker 3: two guys fifty seven combined from Polo and Franz, Like

568
00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:21,639
Speaker 3: you're saying when del Carter chipped in sixteen points, had

569
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:24,159
Speaker 3: eight rebounds, They only turned the ball over seven times,

570
00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:27,040
Speaker 3: held the Celtics to twelve threes on thirty three percent.

571
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:29,400
Speaker 3: All of that is great. They barely scored one hundred

572
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 3: points and never let in the second half.

573
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:31,960
Speaker 1: Right, it's over.

574
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:34,119
Speaker 3: I mean, maybe they'll win one if the Celtics shoot

575
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:37,640
Speaker 3: five percent from three, But I mean, this Magic team

576
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:39,160
Speaker 3: needs better offense.

577
00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:42,639
Speaker 1: They need to play like such a perfect game to

578
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:45,200
Speaker 1: even have a chance to beat this Boston Celtics team.

579
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 1: And what I mean by that is like, by my count,

580
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 1: in the first half alone, they were just failing to

581
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:53,560
Speaker 1: capitalize on fast break opportunities that should have been easy buckets.

582
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:55,359
Speaker 1: And they need every easy bucket they can get, as

583
00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:57,440
Speaker 1: we've talked about, because the struggled to score. They missed

584
00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 1: three layups that they should have had in fast breakuporis

585
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:03,560
Speaker 1: and then two wide open corner threes, which of course,

586
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 1: they just struggle to shoot the three ball. That's you know,

587
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:08,879
Speaker 1: add that up. That's that's ten points right there. Excuse me,

588
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 1: that's twelve points right there that they should have had

589
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:13,600
Speaker 1: in fast break opportunities that their sort of defense got

590
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:16,399
Speaker 1: them running in transition, but they couldn't. And then they

591
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 1: missed a million free throws as well. I think they

592
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:20,880
Speaker 1: went six, fifteen to twenty four at the line too,

593
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:22,960
Speaker 1: So they're leaving a bunch of points there. They need

594
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:25,879
Speaker 1: all those to have any chance to even upset this

595
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:29,639
Speaker 1: team without Tatum playing. And yeah, despite Palo and Franz

596
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:32,520
Speaker 1: looking great at times, those guys, they'll they've yet to

597
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 1: win a road game in the playoffs. They're all for

598
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:37,879
Speaker 1: six now because they lost obviously to the Cavs in

599
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:39,560
Speaker 1: that seven game series, and that was one of those

600
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:41,639
Speaker 1: series where the home team won every game. They had

601
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 1: the heartbreaking loss in game seven and now that's too

602
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:46,159
Speaker 1: straight now in Boston, Like you know, that'll be the

603
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 1: next step for this team to level up, and it

604
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:48,720
Speaker 1: will help if they get a point guard.

605
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:50,600
Speaker 3: Let me go, Nico Harrison on you you're looking at

606
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 3: it from a negative perspective. I'm looking at it from

607
00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:55,719
Speaker 3: a positive perspective. Undefeated at home in the playoffs.

608
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:58,680
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, good. Problem means you don't have home court advantage.

609
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:00,760
Speaker 3: That's a problem. Yeah yeah, yeah, either the series.

610
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:04,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Orlando Championship.

611
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:08,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, nice, Nico, should you should be the Mavericks or

612
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:09,240
Speaker 3: the Magic GM.

613
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:12,679
Speaker 2: Sure shout out to another GM. Calvin Booth gave up

614
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:17,000
Speaker 2: on Contavious Caldwell Pope in Denver. Seems like a good moose, right, Yeah,

615
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:19,399
Speaker 2: it seems like a good move. Just betting on Christian Brown.

616
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:23,159
Speaker 2: It's just been a bad season and bad night shooting

617
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:24,919
Speaker 2: the ball. They just need somebody to splash them threes.

618
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 2: CACP could not do that. He was over in this one.

619
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 2: He did hit two in the first game, but yeah,

620
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 2: he just can't. He just can't hit him right now.

621
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:33,920
Speaker 1: Uh, and I can't believe we haven't talked about it yet.

622
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:37,280
Speaker 1: Late in the third quarter, Kristaps Porzingis go into the

623
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:40,960
Speaker 1: locker room with a gash to the forehead. He would

624
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:43,880
Speaker 1: return to shoot some free throws. We'll show everybody here

625
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:46,840
Speaker 1: on YouTube and go, go, go, go. Excuse me, just

626
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:50,119
Speaker 1: clocked them, you know again, he's getting tangled, he's pulling

627
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 1: on him things included pulling on him and then his

628
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:54,440
Speaker 1: elbow just comes through and nails him on the forehead,

629
00:27:54,760 --> 00:28:01,439
Speaker 1: and that blood just started streaming down his skull. Just

630
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:03,320
Speaker 1: looks sort of awesome. I think he was having the

631
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:06,879
Speaker 1: time of his life. Porzingis was like, again, here's the

632
00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:09,320
Speaker 1: big first bandage and the dry blood, and they let

633
00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:12,440
Speaker 1: him shoot free throws, which was so funny to me

634
00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 1: because they're so anal about anyone ever having blood out there.

635
00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:18,920
Speaker 1: But they're like, all right, I guess it's dried enough

636
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:21,000
Speaker 1: at this point after all the reviews they looked at,

637
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:22,679
Speaker 1: They're like, alright, just come shoot them. You're gonna check

638
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:24,680
Speaker 1: right back out he went, you got five stitches, came

639
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:26,679
Speaker 1: back with a little bit of a smaller bandage. But

640
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:30,520
Speaker 1: he was loving this. The crowd was going bonkers. He

641
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:33,239
Speaker 1: was smiling with it, like I think he wanted the

642
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 1: battle scar.

643
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:37,760
Speaker 2: I guess you never get a slow mo of blood

644
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:41,680
Speaker 2: streaming down a skull in basketball, but they're going to

645
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:43,680
Speaker 2: the end of the quarter and they're showing that little

646
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:48,960
Speaker 2: montage and they shell Christv's blood streaming down his shaved

647
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 2: blonde head, which makes it very evident of what's happening there.

648
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 2: So it looked awesome. It did awesome in a crazy way.

649
00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, they put that bandage on his face. The first

650
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:01,800
Speaker 3: one was the biggest bandage I've ever seen. That's why

651
00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:03,960
Speaker 3: he was laughing so much. They called him the unicorn.

652
00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:07,800
Speaker 3: It looked like he had his horn poach. I thought

653
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 3: that was a pretty funny moment. I also loved late

654
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:13,240
Speaker 3: in the game, Jaalen Brown actually misses a jumper. Al

655
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:16,760
Speaker 3: Horford follows it up with a putback iron eagle clean

656
00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:19,960
Speaker 3: up on Aisle forty two. A little bit of a pause,

657
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:22,880
Speaker 3: and then Grant Hill's like, it's a lot of eyes.

658
00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:28,240
Speaker 1: It's a big story. That was so good, and we

659
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:32,160
Speaker 1: did have tempers flaring between Contavious Caldwell Pope and Al Horford.

660
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:34,880
Speaker 1: They got their feet tangled up there and both guys

661
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:36,360
Speaker 1: crashed to the floor. I think that was in the

662
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:38,600
Speaker 1: second quarter, and then sort of Brown stepped in to

663
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:42,720
Speaker 1: exchange words with KCP. Referees reviewed the play and they determined,

664
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:45,680
Speaker 1: you won't believe this just a common tripping foul on KCP.

665
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:47,200
Speaker 1: But for a second there it looked like you're gonna

666
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:50,960
Speaker 1: pick up another potential point there in the instigator draft

667
00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:52,280
Speaker 1: with kcp's already got you one.

668
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:55,800
Speaker 2: Yeah. No, nobody's got go go bita in their draft.

669
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:58,440
Speaker 2: He got a flagrant for that one. To Kris STAPs

670
00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:01,560
Speaker 2: his head. There's a lot of aisles in the store.

671
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 2: I like when there's just aisles of our numbered, of

672
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:09,040
Speaker 2: big aisles, like long aisles. I hate when little short

673
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:09,959
Speaker 2: aisles are numbered.

674
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:13,680
Speaker 3: You'd rather have like ten aisles that go super long

675
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:15,680
Speaker 3: yeahs that are yeah.

676
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:19,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's because the ass too, if you're going in

677
00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:21,960
Speaker 1: for like a you know, just to pick up eight things,

678
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:24,120
Speaker 1: because then you gotta go like deep into some of

679
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:24,840
Speaker 1: these eyes. Yeah.

680
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 2: But I like the aisles can be labeled better, easier

681
00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:33,000
Speaker 2: than these little teeny tiny aisles. There's some department stores

682
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:35,200
Speaker 2: that say, oh, this is light aisle forty two, that's

683
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:37,840
Speaker 2: like four feet long. It's not long.

684
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:41,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, But the Trader Joe's, Now that's like a smaller

685
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:44,000
Speaker 1: store that's small aisles, low number of aisles.

686
00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:45,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, run like that.

687
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:47,240
Speaker 2: But I just don't want numbers. What I'm complaining about

688
00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:49,080
Speaker 2: is the numbers. I don't like numbers. I'd rather not

689
00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:51,400
Speaker 2: look for lane forty two. That's like you know what

690
00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:55,040
Speaker 2: numbers Yeah, for these tiny aisles, for these tiny tiny,

691
00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:58,400
Speaker 2: tiny little aisles. It's impossible. They don't know what they're doing.

692
00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:00,600
Speaker 1: Just think.

693
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:01,560
Speaker 3: I'm trying to think.

694
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 1: If there were no numbers and you're like, hey, where's

695
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:06,000
Speaker 1: the spices, I don't even know what they would tell you.

696
00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:10,080
Speaker 1: They'd be like, just where the spices are?

697
00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:15,040
Speaker 2: Back last, It's more clear, it's more clear. It's more

698
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:15,680
Speaker 2: clear than these.

699
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:17,960
Speaker 1: I can't stand Trader Joe's because I don't think they're

700
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:21,479
Speaker 1: wide enough. The Trader Joe's are quite popular and like

701
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:24,480
Speaker 1: their like, I go, nope, I guess we're not eating.

702
00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:28,120
Speaker 1: We're not eating whatever's down there. I hate it because,

703
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:30,160
Speaker 1: you know me, I get impatient. I'm like, what are

704
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:31,000
Speaker 1: you doing? Get your card?

705
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:31,640
Speaker 3: Crowd?

706
00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:34,480
Speaker 1: People aren't aware of their surroundings enough for my liking.

707
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:37,080
Speaker 1: So I like, no, we're not eating, not eating that

708
00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:40,120
Speaker 1: aisle right off the list.

709
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:42,640
Speaker 3: Sorry, we're not getting chili spicy this time.

710
00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:47,320
Speaker 1: Damn. Any other thoughts on Celtic's Magic. Do you believe

711
00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:49,960
Speaker 1: the Magic can continue their hot streak at home in

712
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 1: the playoffs and win a game or two? Or is

713
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:56,800
Speaker 1: this one screaming sweep here as some of these Eastern

714
00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:57,720
Speaker 1: Conference series might.

715
00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:00,920
Speaker 2: Be looks like last year against the Cleveland Cavaliers in

716
00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:04,720
Speaker 2: Round one is where Orlando was great at home. That's

717
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:07,680
Speaker 2: a different team. Cleveland was a different team then, and

718
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:10,760
Speaker 2: Boston's a very very different team. I think it's over.

719
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:13,560
Speaker 1: I still got hope. I got hope they take one

720
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:17,320
Speaker 1: here in Orlando. The other game last night, Donovan Mitchell

721
00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:19,760
Speaker 1: scored thirty Calves held off the Heat to take the

722
00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:23,120
Speaker 1: two zero series lead. He delivered down the stretched tk.

723
00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:26,160
Speaker 1: Calves were up nineteen in the third quarter. They were

724
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:28,080
Speaker 1: up thirteen at the start of the fourth, but the

725
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:31,080
Speaker 1: Heat rallied and it was a one possession game. I

726
00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:32,480
Speaker 1: think it was one oh five to one oh three

727
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:34,840
Speaker 1: with about three eleven left, And that is when Donovan

728
00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:38,280
Speaker 1: Mitchell got to work. Sneaked around a high pick and roll,

729
00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:40,960
Speaker 1: sort of got to his spot on the baseline, hit

730
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:43,360
Speaker 1: a little fadeaway jumper, and then the next possession he

731
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:45,880
Speaker 1: just sized up. Yo, Bitch's like, everybody, get out of

732
00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:47,240
Speaker 1: the way, get out of the way. I'm just gonna

733
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:49,360
Speaker 1: walk into three. He banged that home on the wing,

734
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:51,560
Speaker 1: and then the next one he used to pick up

735
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 1: top poorly sort of played. I thought by Hero and

736
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:56,800
Speaker 1: Davion Mitchell, how they were switching where they weren't switching,

737
00:32:56,880 --> 00:32:58,960
Speaker 1: and then he hit another three and that was enough

738
00:32:59,000 --> 00:32:59,520
Speaker 1: breathing room.

739
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:03,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, pretty sweet for Donovan Mitchell because he got subbed

740
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:05,239
Speaker 3: out in the middle of the fourth quarter, just an

741
00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:08,920
Speaker 3: unusual substitution pattern, and the Heat were chipping into the lead.

742
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:11,080
Speaker 3: They played pretty solid, I thought at the beginning of

743
00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:13,240
Speaker 3: the fourth quarter. But then yeah, like you mentioned, Mitchell

744
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:15,600
Speaker 3: checks in last four minutes and twenty five seconds, ten

745
00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:19,800
Speaker 3: points on four jump shots. Yeah, in plus seven. It's

746
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:22,600
Speaker 3: just awesome. Postgame, Darius Garland said, the game plan for

747
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:25,719
Speaker 3: the Calves pick on Tyler Hero, and it's worked twice

748
00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:28,240
Speaker 3: so far. We saw ty Jerome have fifty points in

749
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:30,800
Speaker 3: the fourth quarter of a game. Tracking data last night,

750
00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:33,840
Speaker 3: I don't know how this can possibly be accurate. It

751
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:36,760
Speaker 3: says the Cavs scored twenty seven points on Tyler Hero

752
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:40,480
Speaker 3: as the primary defender. Believable enough to me. Yeah, okay,

753
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:44,840
Speaker 3: twenty seven points is a normal number. But it also

754
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:48,160
Speaker 3: said that the Calves were able to generate ninety three

755
00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:52,200
Speaker 3: team points on plays where Tyler Hero was involved as

756
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:54,760
Speaker 3: the primary defender. And I'm like, that's an absurd number,

757
00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:58,480
Speaker 3: but also maybe that's the number because they were just

758
00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:01,440
Speaker 3: any time he was part of the zone that the

759
00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:03,760
Speaker 3: Heat we're trying or involved in a pick and roll,

760
00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:06,920
Speaker 3: or they'll set it down screen four. Whoever, he's guarding

761
00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:10,040
Speaker 3: easy shots. Now, look on the other end, it's not

762
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:11,720
Speaker 3: like the Cavs are doing a great job of guarding

763
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:15,760
Speaker 3: Hero either. It's kind of going both ways. But unfortunately

764
00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:18,360
Speaker 3: the Cavs have a lot more offense than the Miami

765
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:20,120
Speaker 3: Heat dud because the Heat have been right there in

766
00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:22,680
Speaker 3: both of these games. But they're a bad fourth quarter team.

767
00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:24,840
Speaker 3: And now we got Yovic playing in the fourth quarters

768
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:26,479
Speaker 3: over Andrew Wiggins. What was that all about?

769
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:27,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, guy couldn't.

770
00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:29,440
Speaker 3: Make a shot one for eight from three. You're trying

771
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:29,880
Speaker 3: to score?

772
00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:32,839
Speaker 1: Yep. I'm glad you brought up the hero part where

773
00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:34,520
Speaker 1: they're putting him in action. There. We got a good

774
00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:35,920
Speaker 1: chart here, JD if you want to pull it up

775
00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:39,239
Speaker 1: from Owen Phillips excuse me at the F five substacks,

776
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:42,520
Speaker 1: which says a great job, especially charts and breaking down

777
00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:44,720
Speaker 1: the games in the series. Here's a list of players

778
00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:46,640
Speaker 1: that have faced the most pick and rolls as the

779
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:51,280
Speaker 1: screener defender in this year's playoffs and as he wrote,

780
00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:54,480
Speaker 1: do you notice anything a little odd from this list

781
00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:57,640
Speaker 1: we're showing you on YouTube. Tyler Hero is the only

782
00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:01,040
Speaker 1: non center on the list. Again, this is the screener

783
00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:04,160
Speaker 1: defender and that's what Cleveland was doing, test just targeting him,

784
00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:07,280
Speaker 1: putting Hero in as many picking roles as they can, because,

785
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:12,040
Speaker 1: as Garland just straight up said after, yeah, we're picking

786
00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:14,560
Speaker 1: on the Miami's weakest defender. We want him in all

787
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:18,080
Speaker 1: this stuff. And you saw Cleveland us accommodation, Max Drew,

788
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:20,560
Speaker 1: Sam Meryl. They would set screens for Mitchell and Garland

789
00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:23,560
Speaker 1: because that's who Tyler Herro is, you know, defending, and

790
00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:25,520
Speaker 1: that gets him in the action and then he gets

791
00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:29,040
Speaker 1: cooked one point two points per direct pick. I guess

792
00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:32,120
Speaker 1: last night. So I get all these numbers are backing up. Yeah,

793
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:34,239
Speaker 1: Hero scoring, but man, they are just putting them and

794
00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:35,680
Speaker 1: sort of exposing him on that end.

795
00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:37,319
Speaker 2: I don't think it really mattered when it came to

796
00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:39,239
Speaker 2: Donovan Mitchell in the fourth quarter. I mean, he was

797
00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:42,919
Speaker 2: a monster, and so they used Max Strus as sort

798
00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:46,880
Speaker 2: of a dribble ball handoff guy time, guy time a

799
00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:49,640
Speaker 2: guy once and he just flew around it and flew

800
00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:51,319
Speaker 2: into the mid range and was able to just put

801
00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:54,320
Speaker 2: the brakes on like crazy and rise and hit. He

802
00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:57,680
Speaker 2: looked like superstar Mitchell for a quarter there. It looked

803
00:35:57,680 --> 00:36:00,400
Speaker 2: like he could take over. Darius Callen was there clutch

804
00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:04,320
Speaker 2: guy this season. He was really really good this season.

805
00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:06,560
Speaker 2: But it feels like Mitchell will take over more of

806
00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:09,719
Speaker 2: those opportunities like he did yesterday. They just gave him

807
00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:11,880
Speaker 2: the ball. He made a lot of threes in that

808
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:14,920
Speaker 2: sit in that fourth quarter, six shots, four of them

809
00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:17,759
Speaker 2: were three, so for seventeen points. But it feels like,

810
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:21,440
Speaker 2: just give him, let him cook, and if you have

811
00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:24,879
Speaker 2: him going on some sort of downhill towards the rim,

812
00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:27,359
Speaker 2: he'll find a spot where he will rise and hit

813
00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:27,760
Speaker 2: a shot.

814
00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:30,960
Speaker 1: Cavs set an NBA playoff record with eleven three pointers

815
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:33,160
Speaker 1: in the second quarter. They finished twenty tow to forty

816
00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:36,479
Speaker 1: five from deep, tied for sixth most in a playoff game.

817
00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:39,440
Speaker 1: I watched this one this morning. I felt like every

818
00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:41,840
Speaker 1: time in that second quarter that I was like taking

819
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:45,200
Speaker 1: a sip of coffee, like another Cavaliers three was going down.

820
00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:47,879
Speaker 1: It was Mobiley up, top Hunter on the wing, Sam

821
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:50,440
Speaker 1: Merrill in transition Mitchell pull up, and then you had

822
00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:52,440
Speaker 1: the one where Donovan Mitchell threw the sort of like

823
00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:56,160
Speaker 1: you know that little fastball ahead two strew spang another

824
00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:57,840
Speaker 1: three like I could not keep up. Every time I

825
00:36:57,880 --> 00:36:59,880
Speaker 1: was taking a sip of the coffee, like it just

826
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:01,520
Speaker 1: not stop that barrage.

827
00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:04,040
Speaker 2: It was an awesome matchup. It was Heywood high Smith

828
00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:07,319
Speaker 2: versus DeAndre Hunter and Sam Merrill for a little bit.

829
00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:10,719
Speaker 2: I mean, Heyward Hemith performed in this game. Hit five

830
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:12,560
Speaker 2: threes off the bench. I mean it was that part

831
00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:15,000
Speaker 2: of it was was super fun. I think they were

832
00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:17,360
Speaker 2: trying Nikola Yovitch in this game because he did start

833
00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:20,200
Speaker 2: off well, but then he got cold. They were looking

834
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:22,800
Speaker 2: for anybody. Wiggins just was not feeling it. They needed

835
00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:26,160
Speaker 2: somebody and he didn't. Yovich didn't play in game one.

836
00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:29,439
Speaker 2: He played a tiny bit, but I was a plus two.

837
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:33,800
Speaker 2: They needed him. In game two, they got some performances

838
00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:36,840
Speaker 2: as I said, to get five threes for Haywood, Heigsmith

839
00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:41,560
Speaker 2: and Heroes Numbers and Davian Mitchell again feeling it again.

840
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:44,960
Speaker 2: But unfortunately, when you play a Cleveland Cavaliers team that

841
00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:47,359
Speaker 2: just keeps bombing threes eighteen in game one, twenty two

842
00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:50,040
Speaker 2: in game two, that's impossible to.

843
00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:52,480
Speaker 3: Be Yeah, Miami made sixteen threes and they got out

844
00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:54,680
Speaker 3: shot badly. Yeah, it's tough.

845
00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:56,959
Speaker 1: I was the only thing I was wishing from this game.

846
00:37:57,040 --> 00:37:59,120
Speaker 1: We talked about Jayllen Green thirty eight in the win

847
00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:01,799
Speaker 1: for the Rockets. We had Jayleen Brown thirty six in

848
00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:04,440
Speaker 1: the win for the Celtics. How great would it have

849
00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:07,600
Speaker 1: been if Jalen Tyson had like twenty five off the

850
00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:10,200
Speaker 1: bench of the cast last night? Mail would have just

851
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:14,080
Speaker 1: rode itself. Man just would have rode itself. Three Jalens

852
00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:16,279
Speaker 1: on one night of the playoffs. But you didn't even

853
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:18,920
Speaker 1: see the court because Miami they got back into it.

854
00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:20,680
Speaker 1: I couldn't believe they made this a game. When I

855
00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:22,239
Speaker 1: was watching, I saw, I knew what happened, obviously the

856
00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:24,120
Speaker 1: final score, but I'm like, oh my god, they're getting

857
00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:26,560
Speaker 1: destroyed you with these threes, And I'm like, how is

858
00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:28,400
Speaker 1: this a close game down the stretch? Why do they

859
00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:31,600
Speaker 1: need Donovan Mitchell to take over? So no credit to

860
00:38:31,640 --> 00:38:34,120
Speaker 1: them for fighting. Oh yeah, not giving up and making

861
00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:35,520
Speaker 1: it a one possession game. They're late.

862
00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:39,560
Speaker 3: Any other thoughts, well, The Calves played Sam Merrill, Isaaca

863
00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:41,680
Speaker 3: Korro and a center. At the start of the fourth

864
00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:44,640
Speaker 3: quarter and the Heat just went zone and said Sam Merril,

865
00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:47,040
Speaker 3: you're a standstille shooter. You're easy to guard a corro

866
00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:49,560
Speaker 3: shoot it if you want to mobile, and Allen like,

867
00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:51,080
Speaker 3: maybe you'll get the ball inside. But I was just

868
00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:54,520
Speaker 3: stagnant offense and the Heat were able to strangle it

869
00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:55,960
Speaker 3: out of him and then make their threes. On the

870
00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:57,799
Speaker 3: other end, I thought, was what happened? So I think

871
00:38:57,840 --> 00:39:01,120
Speaker 3: you cut those eight and ninth man out of the rotation.

872
00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:04,000
Speaker 3: If it gets down to it, you're look fine, fair enough.

873
00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:06,120
Speaker 3: The other thing I like from this down Kenny Atkinson

874
00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:08,919
Speaker 3: had a staredown challenge. Thirty nine seconds left, Tyler Hero

875
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:11,040
Speaker 3: griffs some free throws. I think it was Jared Allen

876
00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:14,400
Speaker 3: on the foul call. You see Kenny Atkinson watching on

877
00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:16,160
Speaker 3: the board and just stares at the ref.

878
00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:24,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, the sassiest review of all time and he won it. Yeah,

879
00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:27,840
Speaker 1: he was right. That's so funny.

880
00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:28,720
Speaker 3: It's so good.

881
00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:31,880
Speaker 2: He's got the best facial reactions of a coach. He

882
00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:34,279
Speaker 2: gets super angry with his face, like when he's talking

883
00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:36,319
Speaker 2: to a referee, he doesn't believe what the referee is saying.

884
00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:39,200
Speaker 2: It's just like his jaw drops out of his face.

885
00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:42,920
Speaker 2: He's great. Great reactions by Kenny Atkinson.

886
00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:47,000
Speaker 1: All right, so let's move from last night's games to

887
00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:50,200
Speaker 1: some news from the last twenty four hours, and we'll

888
00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:54,760
Speaker 1: start with another award the Knicks. Jayalen Brunson officially wins

889
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:57,759
Speaker 1: the NBA's Clutch Player of the Year award. He got

890
00:39:57,880 --> 00:40:00,799
Speaker 1: seventy first place votes out of one hundred. Jokic came

891
00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:03,640
Speaker 1: in second with twenty six first place votes, and then

892
00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:08,320
Speaker 1: Anthony Edwards was a distant third. This was I guess

893
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:10,680
Speaker 1: a two man race, but Brunson obviously getting a majority

894
00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:13,000
Speaker 1: of these. He averaged an NBA high five point six

895
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:17,640
Speaker 1: points in clutch situations Brunson did, which are defined as

896
00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:20,520
Speaker 1: possessions in the final five minutes of the fourth quarter

897
00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:24,759
Speaker 1: or overtime when the score is within five points. And

898
00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:26,799
Speaker 1: so in those instances, he also led the league in

899
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:29,240
Speaker 1: field goals made, and he ranked second in total points

900
00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:32,400
Speaker 1: and third in total assists. And he had incredible efficiency

901
00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:35,200
Speaker 1: numbers in the clutch with you know, fifty one percent

902
00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:37,359
Speaker 1: from the field, eighty four percent of the line.

903
00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:40,320
Speaker 2: Just twenty nine percent from three though that's not efficient.

904
00:40:40,719 --> 00:40:44,120
Speaker 2: They left that number out. Yeah, yeah, but he was

905
00:40:44,120 --> 00:40:47,040
Speaker 2: incredibly the number that sticks out, and what the voters

906
00:40:47,080 --> 00:40:50,759
Speaker 2: just do is most points in clutch situations. I think

907
00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:51,319
Speaker 2: that's who goes.

908
00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:53,719
Speaker 1: Anthony Edwards had more, No, he didn't. I thought he

909
00:40:53,719 --> 00:40:55,960
Speaker 1: had one hundred and fifties. I thought he had total.

910
00:40:56,280 --> 00:40:59,000
Speaker 2: I guess, yeah, because Anthony, because Jalen bent. But it's funny,

911
00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:00,560
Speaker 2: say a few games.

912
00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:02,440
Speaker 1: When Darren Fox won it, he had the most total

913
00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:04,319
Speaker 1: points in the clutch. When Steph Curry won it, he

914
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:06,040
Speaker 1: had the most total points in the clutch. And then

915
00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:08,359
Speaker 1: you know, I saw some Wolves fans go, hey, what's

916
00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:10,239
Speaker 1: going on here? Why is it a god of it?

917
00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:11,440
Speaker 1: Because he had the most.

918
00:41:11,239 --> 00:41:11,680
Speaker 3: Total But.

919
00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:15,640
Speaker 1: That's all this award is.

920
00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:19,920
Speaker 3: I know how many more points and one.

921
00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:22,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, probably in way more minutes maybe.

922
00:41:22,719 --> 00:41:27,000
Speaker 3: Or or they played for twenty eight for the Knicks.

923
00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:30,000
Speaker 2: Because Brenson got hurt. Brenson was hurt. Jalen Brunson had

924
00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:33,600
Speaker 2: five point six points per game, points per clutch situation

925
00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:37,160
Speaker 2: game five point six versus three point seven for Anthony Edwards.

926
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:41,040
Speaker 2: That is a drastic number. If you're looking at the numbers,

927
00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:44,200
Speaker 2: do you know who had the second most in terms

928
00:41:44,239 --> 00:41:48,600
Speaker 2: of clutch points per game? This is shocking. It is shocking.

929
00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:50,479
Speaker 2: And in terms of guys who actually played some games,

930
00:41:50,520 --> 00:41:52,960
Speaker 2: there's there's a Ray J. Dennis and a Johnny Furfy

931
00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:55,400
Speaker 2: in there, but guys who actually big game for the Pacers,

932
00:41:56,480 --> 00:42:00,759
Speaker 2: both of them. Yeah, but somebody wouldn't expect not in

933
00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:02,200
Speaker 2: twenty four to twenty five anyway.

934
00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:03,319
Speaker 1: Okay, so an older guy.

935
00:42:03,480 --> 00:42:06,080
Speaker 2: No, oh, I didn't say. I didn't say twenty four

936
00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:06,600
Speaker 2: to twenty.

937
00:42:06,360 --> 00:42:09,520
Speaker 3: Five for that reason, Kobe White, I.

938
00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:10,000
Speaker 2: Said twenty four.

939
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:15,359
Speaker 1: The team is bad. The team is bad, like a

940
00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:17,160
Speaker 1: jazz player or something like that.

941
00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:19,879
Speaker 2: No, No, they were supposed to be good.

942
00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:20,720
Speaker 3: MAXI.

943
00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:24,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, Maxie nearly five points per game, so it's more

944
00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:26,880
Speaker 2: than Yo Kitchen, more than Edwards. We actually have voters

945
00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:28,520
Speaker 2: for this award, but they just have to look at

946
00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:28,920
Speaker 2: the stats.

947
00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:31,680
Speaker 1: Well, that's why it's a stupid ward. I mean, it's fine,

948
00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:32,120
Speaker 1: but it.

949
00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:33,960
Speaker 3: Sounds like they did a good job. They didn't just

950
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:36,680
Speaker 3: pick the guy up the most points. Yeah, they don't

951
00:42:36,719 --> 00:42:38,239
Speaker 3: have the guy at the most points per game and

952
00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:40,920
Speaker 3: the highest usage rate, and how could it not be Brunsle.

953
00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:43,920
Speaker 2: That's right, that's the right pick. I'm glad Darius Carling

954
00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:46,880
Speaker 2: got a point because I thought of him as a

955
00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:48,960
Speaker 2: potential guy for a long time, but his numbers did

956
00:42:49,080 --> 00:42:52,080
Speaker 2: drop off a little bit, but he was great. He

957
00:42:52,120 --> 00:42:54,600
Speaker 2: was super efficient until late in the season.

958
00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:57,000
Speaker 1: When will a big guy win the clutch Player of the.

959
00:42:57,040 --> 00:42:59,680
Speaker 3: Year award, It could have been you, kitch. This year

960
00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:00,680
Speaker 3: was awesome.

961
00:43:00,680 --> 00:43:02,600
Speaker 1: But you know, it's a problem, a problem that they

962
00:43:02,600 --> 00:43:05,360
Speaker 1: have to face though, is all these like free throws

963
00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:07,480
Speaker 1: late in close games where you're gonna wrap up a

964
00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:09,760
Speaker 1: guy because you're trying to get a posit the ball back.

965
00:43:10,160 --> 00:43:12,040
Speaker 1: You're generally gonna give it to your cards who are

966
00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:14,840
Speaker 1: obviously better free throw shooters, be it curries or Bruntson's

967
00:43:14,920 --> 00:43:17,279
Speaker 1: or even Maxi's or stuff like that. So it will

968
00:43:17,320 --> 00:43:20,040
Speaker 1: be tough. But yeah, he's been pretty dominant. You're right, Yokic,

969
00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:21,160
Speaker 1: and maybe he'll get it.

970
00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:24,920
Speaker 3: I mean he doesn't too. I think his usage rate

971
00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:26,920
Speaker 3: actually gets hurt because he passes the ball more than

972
00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:28,839
Speaker 3: Brunson does. Brunson wants to get into a mid range

973
00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:30,920
Speaker 3: and shoot a jumper or get fouled. Yokic wants to

974
00:43:30,920 --> 00:43:34,080
Speaker 3: make the right play, so, unfortunately for him stats wise,

975
00:43:34,239 --> 00:43:36,960
Speaker 3: sometimes that leads to a hockey assist rather than a

976
00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:40,000
Speaker 3: regular assist. Le was tach his usage rate, and you know,

977
00:43:40,040 --> 00:43:41,640
Speaker 3: it's just a turnover and all that stuff done.

978
00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:43,400
Speaker 2: I guess I'll never win it because if there was

979
00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:46,359
Speaker 2: any year, it was this year when Denver Nuguests didn't

980
00:43:46,360 --> 00:43:47,960
Speaker 2: have a lot of help. I mean, it had to be.

981
00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:50,480
Speaker 2: Everything was on Yokic. So maybe I'll never win it.

982
00:43:50,480 --> 00:43:52,200
Speaker 1: It'll be tough, it'll be tougher for a big guy,

983
00:43:52,200 --> 00:43:54,560
Speaker 1: but we'll see. We'll see how long this ward last.

984
00:43:55,400 --> 00:43:57,640
Speaker 1: It's here to stay. But yeah, it is sort of like, well,

985
00:43:57,680 --> 00:44:00,080
Speaker 1: just pull up the stats on NBA dot com and

986
00:44:00,239 --> 00:44:03,080
Speaker 1: I guess to side between two or three guys, And

987
00:44:03,120 --> 00:44:05,400
Speaker 1: you know, I think you're helped if you have a

988
00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:08,080
Speaker 1: game winner or two under your belt. I think that

989
00:44:08,200 --> 00:44:10,600
Speaker 1: they want the highlights to also like sort of splash

990
00:44:10,640 --> 00:44:13,560
Speaker 1: with this stuff. But Brunson deserving winner. He's obviously huge

991
00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:14,040
Speaker 1: in the clutch.

992
00:44:14,160 --> 00:44:17,760
Speaker 2: And I went into the advanced numbers for efficiency because

993
00:44:17,760 --> 00:44:19,839
Speaker 2: I wondered twenty nine percent from three that ain't good,

994
00:44:19,840 --> 00:44:23,080
Speaker 2: but the true shooting percentage very nice, very nice. Sixty

995
00:44:23,120 --> 00:44:26,879
Speaker 2: three point four throws, free throws and just two point range.

996
00:44:26,960 --> 00:44:29,600
Speaker 2: I think they don't miss from two point range.

997
00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:32,440
Speaker 1: Other news here, we can move quickly through these. I

998
00:44:32,440 --> 00:44:35,960
Speaker 1: think ESPN reporting that the Pelicans are hiring Wizards Troy

999
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:41,840
Speaker 1: Weaver as VP of Basketball Operations, Senior VP. I guess

1000
00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:45,000
Speaker 1: of basketball ops. He will report to New Pelicans Executive

1001
00:44:45,080 --> 00:44:50,560
Speaker 1: vice president of Basketball Operations, Joe Dumars. Weaver, we back

1002
00:44:50,600 --> 00:44:52,480
Speaker 1: in our life. You spent four years as a Pistons

1003
00:44:52,520 --> 00:44:56,080
Speaker 1: GM before being relieved, I guess last May, and then

1004
00:44:56,120 --> 00:44:58,600
Speaker 1: he was like working as a consultant to the Wizards.

1005
00:44:58,960 --> 00:45:01,600
Speaker 1: So now he's now he's here in New Orleans.

1006
00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:05,719
Speaker 3: Hey man turned the Wizards around, and I mean I

1007
00:45:05,719 --> 00:45:10,600
Speaker 3: guess he turned the Pistons around to the downward Yeah. Well,

1008
00:45:10,600 --> 00:45:12,120
Speaker 3: the thing is, it's hard to be confident when you

1009
00:45:12,160 --> 00:45:14,120
Speaker 3: hire a guy who went seventy four and two forty four,

1010
00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:17,040
Speaker 3: But basketball guys stay in basketball. Worst coach of the

1011
00:45:17,040 --> 00:45:19,680
Speaker 3: twenty twenties Jim Boyle, and he's still an assistant coach somewhere.

1012
00:45:19,880 --> 00:45:22,400
Speaker 3: Lawrence Frank once went oh and sixteen to start a season,

1013
00:45:22,800 --> 00:45:25,560
Speaker 3: got fired, became executive of the year. So even though

1014
00:45:25,600 --> 00:45:27,719
Speaker 3: Troy Weaver had a terrible run with the Pistons, he's

1015
00:45:27,719 --> 00:45:29,879
Speaker 3: still going to get a job in the NBA and.

1016
00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:31,040
Speaker 1: Just don't let him pick the coach.

1017
00:45:31,239 --> 00:45:34,799
Speaker 3: That's that easy. He drafted Kid Cunningham, Jade and IVYSR.

1018
00:45:34,880 --> 00:45:37,399
Speaker 3: Thompson was part of the draft day trades for Beef

1019
00:45:37,440 --> 00:45:40,560
Speaker 3: stew Jalen Duran. That's literally the core of the Pistons

1020
00:45:40,640 --> 00:45:43,000
Speaker 3: right now. But he also drafted Killian Hayes and brought

1021
00:45:43,040 --> 00:45:46,879
Speaker 3: Monty Williams to the bench off the beach. Those didn't work, Yeah,

1022
00:45:47,920 --> 00:45:49,960
Speaker 3: so just let him help draft.

1023
00:45:49,960 --> 00:45:53,240
Speaker 2: I guess this was disappointing to me. And Joe Dubars

1024
00:45:53,280 --> 00:45:56,000
Speaker 2: gets this job and just hires a guy he knows immediately.

1025
00:45:56,760 --> 00:45:59,920
Speaker 2: They didn't even do any interviews. He just got hired.

1026
00:46:00,320 --> 00:46:03,200
Speaker 2: He just got hired. And you hire a guy who

1027
00:46:03,200 --> 00:46:04,480
Speaker 2: did not have a lot of success.

1028
00:46:06,080 --> 00:46:08,240
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, Joe Dumar's got the job without an interview.

1029
00:46:08,280 --> 00:46:08,759
Speaker 2: That feels like.

1030
00:46:08,800 --> 00:46:12,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, there's that far to put on the

1031
00:46:12,080 --> 00:46:14,319
Speaker 1: tinfoil happen. What is going on here in New Orleans?

1032
00:46:14,400 --> 00:46:16,279
Speaker 1: I'm starting to think, like there was so much talk

1033
00:46:16,320 --> 00:46:18,759
Speaker 1: about what are the Mavericks doing in trading Luca, are

1034
00:46:18,800 --> 00:46:21,799
Speaker 1: they actually trying to like actively tank their franchise to

1035
00:46:21,840 --> 00:46:25,120
Speaker 1: then relocate their franchise? Like okay, okay, I don't believe

1036
00:46:25,120 --> 00:46:27,160
Speaker 1: that with Dallas. I'm starting to believe it with what

1037
00:46:27,239 --> 00:46:29,799
Speaker 1: New Orleans is doing here, Like it's already like it's

1038
00:46:29,840 --> 00:46:32,399
Speaker 1: tough for like to become like a really true basketball city.

1039
00:46:32,440 --> 00:46:35,160
Speaker 1: There's uphill climb there. I get that, you know, football

1040
00:46:35,200 --> 00:46:37,440
Speaker 1: country and college football and all that in Louisiana and

1041
00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:39,839
Speaker 1: obviously not a lot of success for this Pelicans team, Like,

1042
00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:43,279
Speaker 1: but these yeah, they're not inspiring by any means here

1043
00:46:43,440 --> 00:46:45,799
Speaker 1: that these front offers hirings and are like are they

1044
00:46:45,840 --> 00:46:48,960
Speaker 1: just getting ready to to move or crying out loud?

1045
00:46:49,120 --> 00:46:52,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's disappointing when Joe Dumars gets another job

1046
00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:57,160
Speaker 2: after the Pistons job and doesn't even look into the

1047
00:46:57,200 --> 00:46:59,400
Speaker 2: ecosystem what's going on in the NBA world. He just

1048
00:46:59,440 --> 00:47:04,520
Speaker 2: hires a guy knows, like ownership did with Joe Dumars,

1049
00:47:04,640 --> 00:47:09,480
Speaker 2: and Benson decided, Okay, we know him, come on in.

1050
00:47:10,120 --> 00:47:13,000
Speaker 2: But this the secondary part. Even if Joe goes and

1051
00:47:13,280 --> 00:47:15,920
Speaker 2: does some interviews and hire somebody who's capable, I wouldn't

1052
00:47:15,920 --> 00:47:18,720
Speaker 2: be so disappointed. But this was literally thirty six hours

1053
00:47:18,760 --> 00:47:20,600
Speaker 2: or whatever it was. I mean, it's very short since

1054
00:47:20,640 --> 00:47:23,319
Speaker 2: Joe Dumars got the job. He turns to somebody who

1055
00:47:23,680 --> 00:47:28,000
Speaker 2: wasn't successful in Detroit, wasn't leading the front office in Washington.

1056
00:47:28,600 --> 00:47:33,839
Speaker 2: They he just got No, they did a great job

1057
00:47:33,880 --> 00:47:38,080
Speaker 2: in Washington. It was not it was not led by

1058
00:47:38,120 --> 00:47:41,920
Speaker 2: Troy Weaver. So it's it's disappointing that they don't interview

1059
00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:42,440
Speaker 2: some people.

1060
00:47:43,200 --> 00:47:47,680
Speaker 1: Okay, well, interesting LinkedIn anybody just put up even the

1061
00:47:47,760 --> 00:47:51,120
Speaker 1: facade that you're interviewing people for the base.

1062
00:47:51,239 --> 00:47:52,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would.

1063
00:47:52,760 --> 00:47:55,240
Speaker 1: Well, I guess that's what they're doing in Sacramento because

1064
00:47:55,719 --> 00:47:58,799
Speaker 1: New King's general manager, Scott Perry, he has talked to

1065
00:47:58,880 --> 00:48:02,080
Speaker 1: Doug Christy and head coach after they fired Mike Brown

1066
00:48:02,120 --> 00:48:05,040
Speaker 1: this year about the head coaching position, but he plans

1067
00:48:05,080 --> 00:48:09,000
Speaker 1: to speak with other candidates too, So tasks you're gonna

1068
00:48:09,040 --> 00:48:12,520
Speaker 1: like that, Perry said, quote, my phone has incessantly rang

1069
00:48:12,680 --> 00:48:15,040
Speaker 1: for interest in this job. So I'm going to have

1070
00:48:15,080 --> 00:48:17,360
Speaker 1: a few more conversations in and around this job, and

1071
00:48:17,360 --> 00:48:19,920
Speaker 1: hopefully I can come to some sort of resolution within

1072
00:48:19,960 --> 00:48:22,359
Speaker 1: the next week or so. And he went on say

1073
00:48:22,360 --> 00:48:25,200
Speaker 1: a lot more that we could also parse. But New

1074
00:48:25,280 --> 00:48:27,920
Speaker 1: GM Other King, Scott Perry says, Hey, I'm not just

1075
00:48:27,920 --> 00:48:30,320
Speaker 1: saying we're running back with Doug. There's a lot of

1076
00:48:30,360 --> 00:48:32,319
Speaker 1: people calling me Doug. So I got to talk to

1077
00:48:32,360 --> 00:48:34,399
Speaker 1: them and hear their visions maybe of what we could

1078
00:48:34,440 --> 00:48:36,840
Speaker 1: do with this team. But you gotta be pumped about this.

1079
00:48:37,440 --> 00:48:43,920
Speaker 2: I do kudos, I do. Yes, you have to interview people,

1080
00:48:44,400 --> 00:48:46,840
Speaker 2: and so he's not just coming in and getting this

1081
00:48:46,920 --> 00:48:51,759
Speaker 2: job and saying, Doug Christy, you were decent. After the

1082
00:48:51,800 --> 00:48:53,040
Speaker 2: firing of Mike Brown.

1083
00:48:53,200 --> 00:48:56,200
Speaker 1: I guess he was what they go twenty seven and

1084
00:48:56,280 --> 00:48:57,360
Speaker 1: twenty four.

1085
00:48:57,440 --> 00:48:59,839
Speaker 3: Twenty seven and twenty four, I ten in fourteen in March.

1086
00:49:00,880 --> 00:49:04,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it wasn't good, but it was completely Sacramento

1087
00:49:04,920 --> 00:49:06,799
Speaker 1: Kings fine. I guess I think you would have been

1088
00:49:07,600 --> 00:49:11,560
Speaker 1: just as good keeping Mike brad head coach. But anyway, uh,

1089
00:49:11,600 --> 00:49:13,319
Speaker 1: they're gonna see do you think Doug Christi will be

1090
00:49:13,360 --> 00:49:15,800
Speaker 1: the guy here TK though or Scott Perry Goanna actually

1091
00:49:15,920 --> 00:49:17,680
Speaker 1: you know, go with one of these phone calls.

1092
00:49:17,520 --> 00:49:20,960
Speaker 3: He's probably gonna go with the guy he knows, honestly,

1093
00:49:21,040 --> 00:49:24,120
Speaker 3: probably be a guy he knows. Uh, that's just usually

1094
00:49:24,120 --> 00:49:25,719
Speaker 3: how it goes. There's no reason that needs to be

1095
00:49:25,800 --> 00:49:28,080
Speaker 3: Doug Christie. They did fine, but they completely fell apart

1096
00:49:28,160 --> 00:49:31,000
Speaker 3: down the stretch and we're losing to bad teams. They

1097
00:49:31,160 --> 00:49:33,680
Speaker 3: somehow want a play in game. No they didn't. They lost.

1098
00:49:33,680 --> 00:49:35,440
Speaker 3: They playing game didn't say this year. Yeah, so it

1099
00:49:35,440 --> 00:49:37,080
Speaker 3: won't be him. I don't think. I don't think he

1100
00:49:37,120 --> 00:49:39,440
Speaker 3: really did anything to keep the job. It seems like

1101
00:49:39,520 --> 00:49:42,160
Speaker 3: maybe he was like one of Sabonis's guys. So I

1102
00:49:42,160 --> 00:49:43,759
Speaker 3: think that might be a question mark. I think that's

1103
00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:46,920
Speaker 3: a huge question mark for the King's period is like,

1104
00:49:47,440 --> 00:49:49,839
Speaker 3: what's gonna be Sabonis's future here? Will he have any

1105
00:49:49,880 --> 00:49:53,919
Speaker 3: sort of feedback to give with regards to the coach?

1106
00:49:53,960 --> 00:49:55,960
Speaker 3: Does that keep him in Sacramento or is it kind

1107
00:49:56,000 --> 00:49:58,239
Speaker 3: of a package deal, like Sabonis is gone, one of

1108
00:49:58,239 --> 00:50:00,680
Speaker 3: the coaches he likes is gone. I've seen clips of

1109
00:50:00,719 --> 00:50:03,840
Speaker 3: Scott Perry totally trashing Zach Lavine, who he now. He

1110
00:50:03,920 --> 00:50:06,439
Speaker 3: was complaining like, oh man, this guy, does he really

1111
00:50:06,480 --> 00:50:09,319
Speaker 3: impact winning out of pay him forty forty three, forty five,

1112
00:50:09,400 --> 00:50:12,000
Speaker 3: forty eight million dollars. Now that's your team and you're

1113
00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:13,920
Speaker 3: the one who's on the hook for it. So lots

1114
00:50:13,920 --> 00:50:16,839
Speaker 3: of questions to be answered in Sacramento. And they didn't

1115
00:50:16,880 --> 00:50:18,800
Speaker 3: do interviews either. They just picked Scott.

1116
00:50:18,600 --> 00:50:21,160
Speaker 1: Perry, Yeah, because he was there, because he was there

1117
00:50:21,160 --> 00:50:22,400
Speaker 1: for three months.

1118
00:50:22,400 --> 00:50:25,600
Speaker 3: A disaster for those three months this year, we'll take him. Yeah,

1119
00:50:25,640 --> 00:50:27,759
Speaker 3: So who does he know, because that's probably who will

1120
00:50:27,760 --> 00:50:28,200
Speaker 3: be the coach.

1121
00:50:28,840 --> 00:50:32,319
Speaker 1: Perry also mentioned, I guess yesterday in talking to the

1122
00:50:32,360 --> 00:50:35,520
Speaker 1: media how there was quote an obvious need for a

1123
00:50:35,640 --> 00:50:39,200
Speaker 1: quote true point guard, adding that we need to add

1124
00:50:39,239 --> 00:50:41,960
Speaker 1: more length and athleticism to this group to enhance some

1125
00:50:42,040 --> 00:50:44,319
Speaker 1: of the talent that's here. You're laughing that they need

1126
00:50:44,360 --> 00:50:47,480
Speaker 1: to add a true point guard because they've had a few.

1127
00:50:47,600 --> 00:50:53,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, couple of them not too long ago. We've got

1128
00:50:53,120 --> 00:50:54,480
Speaker 3: to have made all star teams.

1129
00:50:54,960 --> 00:50:58,960
Speaker 1: Yes, in Fox and Halliburton. Who's the third of missing

1130
00:50:59,280 --> 00:51:01,319
Speaker 1: maybe on Mitchell? Oh yes, David Mitchell not an.

1131
00:51:01,280 --> 00:51:02,640
Speaker 3: All star playing well?

1132
00:51:02,719 --> 00:51:04,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, true play whatever?

1133
00:51:05,200 --> 00:51:09,279
Speaker 1: Hey, they'd happily would yeah, And then Perry did the

1134
00:51:09,320 --> 00:51:12,719
Speaker 1: classic I always love this any new GM comes in, really,

1135
00:51:12,760 --> 00:51:16,719
Speaker 1: any coach, anyone in the front office role, repeatedly stressing

1136
00:51:17,320 --> 00:51:21,359
Speaker 1: the need for what's the word speed? No, no, no,

1137
00:51:21,640 --> 00:51:24,399
Speaker 1: what's when someone comes in? What's the one word they

1138
00:51:24,600 --> 00:51:25,359
Speaker 1: always say?

1139
00:51:25,480 --> 00:51:27,200
Speaker 3: Especially defense?

1140
00:51:28,120 --> 00:51:31,600
Speaker 1: No, No, that's good as well. It's like it's like

1141
00:51:31,640 --> 00:51:34,759
Speaker 1: a look in the mirror type thing. It's just a

1142
00:51:34,760 --> 00:51:35,839
Speaker 1: classic buzzword.

1143
00:51:36,160 --> 00:51:44,640
Speaker 3: It starts with an a assessment close, you're close, analyze accountability, accountability, accountability.

1144
00:51:44,719 --> 00:51:46,360
Speaker 3: They all say it.

1145
00:51:46,400 --> 00:51:51,040
Speaker 1: They come in and say we need accountability, and that

1146
00:51:51,120 --> 00:51:52,719
Speaker 1: goes for me as well. They always make sure to

1147
00:51:52,760 --> 00:51:53,560
Speaker 1: add something like that.

1148
00:51:53,640 --> 00:51:54,120
Speaker 2: I'm not just.

1149
00:51:54,040 --> 00:51:56,600
Speaker 1: Talking about the guys in the locker room, me himself

1150
00:51:56,600 --> 00:51:59,360
Speaker 1: and the coaching staff anyway. See we're talking about it

1151
00:51:59,400 --> 00:52:00,640
Speaker 1: those here, we'll see head coaching.

1152
00:52:01,040 --> 00:52:04,680
Speaker 2: Did we didn't talk about the worst coach in the

1153
00:52:04,760 --> 00:52:08,280
Speaker 2: league part of the anonymous poll yesterday?

1154
00:52:08,360 --> 00:52:09,120
Speaker 1: No, I guess we did.

1155
00:52:10,920 --> 00:52:16,200
Speaker 2: Brian Keith, the Washington Brian Keith. Yeah, yeah, don't ask

1156
00:52:17,520 --> 00:52:20,719
Speaker 2: the New Pelicans GM or what senior VP. I guess

1157
00:52:20,719 --> 00:52:25,960
Speaker 2: I shouldn't called Troy Weaver about Brian Keith. I don't know.

1158
00:52:26,040 --> 00:52:29,000
Speaker 2: There's it was just stress strange anonymous pole because only

1159
00:52:29,040 --> 00:52:31,120
Speaker 2: seventy three people decided to vote. That's just like half

1160
00:52:31,120 --> 00:52:33,279
Speaker 2: of the people who voted for MVP one hundred fifty five.

1161
00:52:33,320 --> 00:52:36,400
Speaker 2: Seventy three people decided, Yeah, Brian Keith is the majority

1162
00:52:36,600 --> 00:52:41,040
Speaker 2: the he's the worst. Then Bodenholzer, then Rivers, then Charles Lee,

1163
00:52:41,080 --> 00:52:43,040
Speaker 2: then Nick Nurse, then Tom tid then dark O React

1164
00:52:43,080 --> 00:52:45,080
Speaker 2: which then Doug Christie.

1165
00:52:44,719 --> 00:52:48,120
Speaker 1: Who'd you say was second there, But yeah, I guess

1166
00:52:48,200 --> 00:52:50,200
Speaker 1: around that time when they were all being asked, the

1167
00:52:50,280 --> 00:52:54,200
Speaker 1: Sons were faltering and following apart number three. Yeah.

1168
00:52:54,239 --> 00:52:56,480
Speaker 3: Interesting, Well it makes you what, what's the best job

1169
00:52:56,480 --> 00:53:01,719
Speaker 3: that's available? Sons is open, King's is obviously open right now, likely,

1170
00:53:01,760 --> 00:53:05,040
Speaker 3: and then we've got interim jobs in Denver with Adamman

1171
00:53:05,120 --> 00:53:06,719
Speaker 3: and then in Memphis.

1172
00:53:06,719 --> 00:53:07,160
Speaker 1: A good point.

1173
00:53:07,840 --> 00:53:10,200
Speaker 3: He seems most locked in. I would say, just because

1174
00:53:10,200 --> 00:53:12,600
Speaker 3: they paid him all that money. There was some rumors

1175
00:53:12,640 --> 00:53:14,640
Speaker 3: that part of the reason Taylor Jenkins was let go

1176
00:53:14,840 --> 00:53:18,319
Speaker 3: was because they didn't want to lose thomaslo To, like

1177
00:53:18,360 --> 00:53:20,359
Speaker 3: I don't know, maybe maybe the Kings would want him,

1178
00:53:20,360 --> 00:53:20,520
Speaker 3: you know.

1179
00:53:20,600 --> 00:53:21,279
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1180
00:53:21,440 --> 00:53:23,440
Speaker 1: And then and then I'm trying to think who in

1181
00:53:23,480 --> 00:53:25,400
Speaker 1: the in the currently in the playoffs, you know, if

1182
00:53:25,400 --> 00:53:27,680
Speaker 1: they flame out here early in the first round, could

1183
00:53:27,680 --> 00:53:31,160
Speaker 1: be out of job Doc Rivers, Nicks, Milwaukee, yeah, Tips, Yeah,

1184
00:53:31,239 --> 00:53:33,480
Speaker 1: maybe with New York if they lose.

1185
00:53:33,719 --> 00:53:35,600
Speaker 3: I guess, I mean, I guess Quinn Snyder is a

1186
00:53:35,680 --> 00:53:38,839
Speaker 3: question mark just because they let go Landry Fields, so

1187
00:53:39,080 --> 00:53:43,600
Speaker 3: the new guy might want to pick their coach. That's

1188
00:53:43,640 --> 00:53:46,280
Speaker 3: probably it. I'm who would you rather work for? Vivek

1189
00:53:46,480 --> 00:53:49,680
Speaker 3: or Matt Ishbia. Those are the two open jobs right now.

1190
00:53:51,360 --> 00:53:53,680
Speaker 3: That's a two tough scenarios.

1191
00:53:55,360 --> 00:54:00,920
Speaker 1: That is a tough one. Oh, I get. I was

1192
00:54:00,960 --> 00:54:03,799
Speaker 1: gonna say Ishbia because at least he's proven that he'll

1193
00:54:03,880 --> 00:54:06,239
Speaker 1: just chuck money at things like he thinks that can

1194
00:54:06,239 --> 00:54:06,840
Speaker 1: fix things.

1195
00:54:07,040 --> 00:54:09,640
Speaker 3: That's the best job where think about the last two

1196
00:54:09,680 --> 00:54:12,480
Speaker 3: guys I had that job. They're still getting paid and

1197
00:54:12,480 --> 00:54:15,480
Speaker 3: they're not working there. You work for nine months and

1198
00:54:15,520 --> 00:54:18,239
Speaker 3: get paid for five years, So SUNS is clearly the job.

1199
00:54:18,320 --> 00:54:21,120
Speaker 2: Yeah sure, yeah, Then I gets scenario of David Adam

1200
00:54:21,200 --> 00:54:23,160
Speaker 2: and he may not have his job. I suppose if

1201
00:54:23,160 --> 00:54:25,719
Speaker 2: they get fired, if they get bounced, I should say,

1202
00:54:25,800 --> 00:54:31,799
Speaker 2: I suppose. But Michael alone worked for Vivek coming home.

1203
00:54:33,360 --> 00:54:35,960
Speaker 3: No, No, he did not have a good end to

1204
00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:37,000
Speaker 3: his tenure there either.

1205
00:54:37,120 --> 00:54:37,719
Speaker 2: No, he did not.

1206
00:54:38,200 --> 00:54:42,920
Speaker 1: All right, two nights games, we have three more games on.

1207
00:54:43,239 --> 00:54:45,359
Speaker 1: I was confused. There was a graphic going around during

1208
00:54:45,360 --> 00:54:46,960
Speaker 1: one of those games. I was watching last year the

1209
00:54:47,000 --> 00:54:50,279
Speaker 1: broadcast that showed like the upcoming national TV schedule, and

1210
00:54:50,320 --> 00:54:53,399
Speaker 1: it was like it showed one game for Thursday night.

1211
00:54:53,640 --> 00:54:55,440
Speaker 1: It was just showing Denver La.

1212
00:54:55,800 --> 00:54:58,040
Speaker 2: It didn't want to at o'clock, didn't want to show

1213
00:54:58,080 --> 00:55:02,719
Speaker 2: the nationally televised games on another network. That's what that's

1214
00:55:02,760 --> 00:55:03,600
Speaker 2: what this was.

1215
00:55:03,640 --> 00:55:06,200
Speaker 1: That was on tn T. They were showing that graphic

1216
00:55:06,320 --> 00:55:08,720
Speaker 1: on tn T, but we're not highlighting their two games

1217
00:55:08,760 --> 00:55:11,839
Speaker 1: tonight on tn T. It was so perplexing.

1218
00:55:12,560 --> 00:55:15,440
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I figured that wasn't on TNT that after

1219
00:55:15,480 --> 00:55:16,840
Speaker 2: they weren't promoting.

1220
00:55:16,400 --> 00:55:19,600
Speaker 1: It, I know, but are Yeah. So anyway, I got

1221
00:55:19,600 --> 00:55:21,160
Speaker 1: a concern for a seconds, like, why is there only

1222
00:55:21,160 --> 00:55:22,000
Speaker 1: one game on tonight?

1223
00:55:22,400 --> 00:55:23,480
Speaker 2: But there's not there's not.

1224
00:55:23,600 --> 00:55:27,759
Speaker 1: We got Nix Piston's Game three in Detroit, Series one

1225
00:55:27,880 --> 00:55:30,800
Speaker 1: one huge little Caesars Arena. Maybe that's going to be bumping.

1226
00:55:30,880 --> 00:55:31,960
Speaker 1: You'd have to imagine.

1227
00:55:31,760 --> 00:55:32,640
Speaker 3: Gonna be hot and ready.

1228
00:55:32,760 --> 00:55:33,920
Speaker 2: That's nice.

1229
00:55:34,440 --> 00:55:39,839
Speaker 1: Okay, see Memphis, Okay, flex it Okay, Yeah, that one's right,

1230
00:55:39,960 --> 00:55:42,640
Speaker 1: flex it. Yeah. And then the one on NBA TV,

1231
00:55:43,400 --> 00:55:46,399
Speaker 1: oddly enough is Nuggets Clippers, which has been has been

1232
00:55:46,480 --> 00:55:48,520
Speaker 1: maybe the best series so far. I think that's I'm

1233
00:55:48,520 --> 00:55:51,960
Speaker 1: not going out on a limb saying that. So yeah,

1234
00:55:52,000 --> 00:55:54,040
Speaker 1: I guess it's got to do with the seven and

1235
00:55:54,120 --> 00:55:58,000
Speaker 1: nine thirty starts there a little later in l a thunder.

1236
00:55:58,080 --> 00:56:00,880
Speaker 2: I guess it is the under.

1237
00:56:02,239 --> 00:56:05,879

00:56:07,320 --> 00:56:11,359

00:58:16,320 --> 00:58:18,720
Speaker 2: for sure, what aisle can you find that?

1287
00:58:18,760 --> 00:58:18,920

00:58:18,960 --> 00:58:19,240
Speaker 3: To UK?

1289
00:58:19,360 --> 00:58:22,040
Speaker 2: Listen, I know people were people were getting at people

1290
00:58:22,040 --> 00:58:25,160
Speaker 2: were getting at me for the small aisle. The people

1291
00:58:25,200 --> 00:58:29,680
Speaker 2: who designed those small aisles and department stores. They just

1292
00:58:29,760 --> 00:58:31,520
Speaker 2: don't know what they're doing with the numbers that they're

1293
00:58:31,560 --> 00:58:33,840
Speaker 2: throwing out there. It's not clear. All I want is

1294
00:58:33,840 --> 00:58:36,360
Speaker 2: there for things to be clear. And I'm speaking specifically

1295
00:58:36,400 --> 00:58:40,160
Speaker 2: about it. Target, Wow, calling them out, just Target. Actually,

1296
00:58:40,320 --> 00:58:42,400
Speaker 2: Home Depot does the small aisles pretty well.

1297
00:58:43,160 --> 00:58:46,800
Speaker 3: Home Depot they got the biggest stle, They got the

1298
00:58:46,840 --> 00:58:47,520
Speaker 3: biggest isles.

1299
00:58:47,960 --> 00:58:50,040
Speaker 2: But let me tell you something about the Home Depot aisles.

1300
00:58:50,760 --> 00:58:53,200
Speaker 2: There's two sectors to the Home Depot aisles. There's the

1301
00:58:53,640 --> 00:58:56,120
Speaker 2: opening sector of the front sector, yes, and then there's

1302
00:58:56,120 --> 00:58:57,680
Speaker 2: all back the smaller ones.

1303
00:58:58,760 --> 00:59:01,080
Speaker 3: They got an aisle in between their that's crazy.

1304
00:59:01,160 --> 00:59:04,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, those smaller ones are extremely clear. Beyond that

1305
00:59:04,240 --> 00:59:08,120
Speaker 2: aisle between the two aisles. You know what, I guess

1306
00:59:08,200 --> 00:59:11,160
Speaker 2: thirty through forty five whatever they are. And when you

1307
00:59:11,160 --> 00:59:14,560
Speaker 2: go around Target, you see aisle number fourteen A. I

1308
00:59:14,600 --> 00:59:17,320
Speaker 2: think they throw a letter after each them fourteen eight

1309
00:59:17,600 --> 00:59:20,160
Speaker 2: maybe not, But anyway, they don't have good signs. They're

1310
00:59:20,240 --> 00:59:20,920
Speaker 2: terrible signs.

1311
00:59:20,960 --> 00:59:23,160
Speaker 1: Maybe that's when it comes down. Yeah, that's import of

1312
00:59:23,200 --> 00:59:24,200
Speaker 1: it is important.

1313
00:59:24,480 --> 00:59:27,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're like, oh, they're so small, we're not putting

1314
00:59:27,800 --> 00:59:28,400
Speaker 2: a big sign.

1315
00:59:28,400 --> 00:59:29,000
Speaker 1: I guess.

1316
00:59:30,480 --> 00:59:31,160
Speaker 2: I didn't design

1317
00:59:32,680 --> 00:59:33,680
Speaker 1: Prace the day people
