Go get your tickets now right We're 0:02:30.280 --> 0:02:32.960 gonna get right into it. Tonight, the Warriors beat the 0:02:33.040 --> 0:02:36.680 Wolves a large part without Steph. Steph left the game 0:02:36.720 --> 0:02:39.480 early in the second quarter with a hamstring injury. Did 0:02:39.520 --> 0:02:44.080 not return the Timberwolves tonight. Naz Reid. Nas Reid was 0:02:44.080 --> 0:02:46.960 three or seven from three. Everybody else was two of 0:02:47.000 --> 0:02:51.799 twenty two, and they did not get off to the 0:02:51.800 --> 0:02:55.080 the best start shooting the basketball. And as Chris Finch said, 0:02:55.160 --> 0:02:59.280 our transition decisions making what's diabolical, He said, the poor 0:02:59.320 --> 0:03:02.520 shooting effect their confidence and overall players starts with Anthony Edwards. 0:03:02.560 --> 0:03:04.760 You could see the light go out and for a 0:03:04.760 --> 0:03:06.799 little while now he did get it going. In the 0:03:06.840 --> 0:03:10.320 second half, he had twenty three points fourteen rebounds. It 0:03:10.440 --> 0:03:13.040 just took him twenty two shots to get those twenty 0:03:13.040 --> 0:03:16.120 three points. And that's not nearly good enough because outside 0:03:16.120 --> 0:03:19.520 of ad Man, Julius Random was four of eleven, jayde 0:03:19.520 --> 0:03:22.120 and Daniels six to twelve, Rudy Gobert was four seven. 0:03:22.400 --> 0:03:24.480 Mike Conley got some great cardio in tonight. 0:03:24.840 --> 0:03:30.040 But Deevin chevso three of eleven, Mikil Walker, Alexander had 0:03:30.880 --> 0:03:35.080 Well had fourteen minutes, he got some great cardio in, 0:03:35.480 --> 0:03:38.920 and even Shannon Junior he got cardio and only got 0:03:38.960 --> 0:03:40.720 two minutes on the bike. Oho, but he got a 0:03:40.760 --> 0:03:43.040 little cardio in, So you only have to do eighteen 0:03:43.080 --> 0:03:45.040 minutes on the bike after the game because he did 0:03:45.040 --> 0:03:46.040 get two minutes of cardio. 0:03:48.160 --> 0:03:49.400 Ryan, I'm gonna start with you on this. 0:03:49.880 --> 0:03:52.280 You watched this game and you was like, Okay, the 0:03:52.360 --> 0:03:54.800 Warriors might be in trouble. Steph going out and looked 0:03:54.800 --> 0:03:56.400 like he had it going. Looked like he was headed 0:03:56.400 --> 0:03:59.200 toward the monster night. He had thirteen points in about 0:03:59.200 --> 0:04:01.280 thirteen minutes, so it looked like it was gonna be 0:04:01.280 --> 0:04:03.760 one of those nights. Draymond got off hit four of 0:04:03.800 --> 0:04:06.400 his five first threes. But you know what, I let 0:04:06.480 --> 0:04:08.920 Draymond have that. I just don't want Steph, Buddy, he'll 0:04:08.920 --> 0:04:11.240 get going. What did you like about what you saw 0:04:11.280 --> 0:04:14.480 from the Warriors tonight? Man, the first. 0:04:14.280 --> 0:04:16.599 Thing they could he could have pulled that hand string 0:04:16.640 --> 0:04:18.920 on Sunday last Sunday, he could have pulled that hand 0:04:18.960 --> 0:04:22.200 straight would be having a whole different conversation. Now, Okay, 0:04:22.400 --> 0:04:24.120 let's get that out there right now. 0:04:24.200 --> 0:04:25.080 First and foremost. 0:04:25.080 --> 0:04:28.440 But man, I don't think people understand and giving Golden 0:04:28.440 --> 0:04:32.520 State the credit. Defensively, they are sound, they're smart. Steve 0:04:32.600 --> 0:04:34.920 Kerr will get out there and switch defenses. I saw 0:04:34.960 --> 0:04:37.839 someuth I've never seen in this series against Houston, against 0:04:37.880 --> 0:04:40.240 our guys. He ran three two zone. He ran one 0:04:40.279 --> 0:04:42.400 three to one in the NBA. That's something you never see. 0:04:42.440 --> 0:04:45.000 To take away the elbows. And he doesn't mind switching. 0:04:45.120 --> 0:04:48.160 Sup gonna go play big, He'll go small and right now, 0:04:48.240 --> 0:04:51.160 one thing he's doing, he's Darren Rudy Gobert. He said, 0:04:51.240 --> 0:04:54.200 I'm gonna put Jimmy Butler. I'm gonna put Raymond. We're 0:04:54.240 --> 0:04:57.000 not putting the die above six eight on you. And 0:04:57.000 --> 0:04:59.679 he's really challenging go bear to score the ball inside 0:04:59.680 --> 0:05:03.360 the paint. Now against shen Doon and Steven Adams, he 0:05:03.440 --> 0:05:05.320 went big. You saw a lot of Clinton Posts. You 0:05:05.360 --> 0:05:10.040 didn't see Quinton Post tonight. You saw you Sawkabon Looney, 0:05:10.480 --> 0:05:13.039 Andre Man. You know you saw both those guys in 0:05:13.080 --> 0:05:13.560 the lineup. 0:05:14.120 --> 0:05:14.640 I'm gonna pick. 0:05:14.720 --> 0:05:17.039 Make this very clear, they're not gonna win this series 0:05:17.080 --> 0:05:21.120 without Steph Perry. He's gonna have to get back depending 0:05:21.160 --> 0:05:23.039 how bad that hamstring is. 0:05:23.839 --> 0:05:25.320 And I've never seen step go down. 0:05:25.360 --> 0:05:28.200 And it's funny, man, we're talking about this the other 0:05:28.279 --> 0:05:29.640 day with Steph. 0:05:29.800 --> 0:05:32.680 If you watch him play, I don't know. He must win. 0:05:33.080 --> 0:05:36.560 Run three to four to five miles, everyone possession. 0:05:36.640 --> 0:05:40.760 He's running. So finally that hamstring, you know what went out. 0:05:41.600 --> 0:05:43.400 But at the end of the day. 0:05:43.520 --> 0:05:48.400 Chad Wollt see in reality where Anthony Edwards struggles that 0:05:48.520 --> 0:05:51.839 bad offensively, they gotta find ways to get him going. 0:05:52.040 --> 0:05:53.840 And ultimately in game one and with a lot of 0:05:53.920 --> 0:05:57.400 Russ the positive when you play seven game series, you're fresh, 0:05:57.440 --> 0:05:58.720 you're ready, the juices are going. 0:05:58.800 --> 0:06:02.279 But I saw Russ from Minna. Oh, Joe, what did 0:06:02.320 --> 0:06:04.080 you think about what you saw? Because like you are, 0:06:04.120 --> 0:06:06.679 he said, I don't think ant man, he'll jump shot 0:06:06.720 --> 0:06:09.000 all night long. Everything that he got was going to 0:06:09.080 --> 0:06:11.480 the basket, or it was from the free throw line. 0:06:11.520 --> 0:06:13.240 He was terrible from the three point line. What was 0:06:13.279 --> 0:06:15.600 he from the three point line? Oh, he did make one. 0:06:15.640 --> 0:06:17.360 He was one of five from the three. He was 0:06:17.400 --> 0:06:19.159 four or five from the free throw line, nine or 0:06:19.160 --> 0:06:22.599 twenty two from the floor. Overall, he did have fourteen rebounds. 0:06:22.760 --> 0:06:25.520 But the thing that they didn't allow him to do. 0:06:25.839 --> 0:06:28.839 They made him incredibly inefficient, and they didn't let you 0:06:28.880 --> 0:06:31.440 look at his assists total two remember when he played 0:06:31.440 --> 0:06:34.640 in the Lakers eleven assists, eight nine assists. So not 0:06:34.680 --> 0:06:37.400 only is he getting his points, he's allowing everybody else 0:06:37.400 --> 0:06:40.240 to get involved. Tonight, Golden State did a great job 0:06:40.279 --> 0:06:43.280 of limiting him, making it hard for him to get anything. 0:06:43.520 --> 0:06:45.440 He couldn't get anything from the jump shot, the three 0:06:45.440 --> 0:06:45.920 point line. 0:06:45.960 --> 0:06:48.560 He got some driving baskets in the second half, but 0:06:48.640 --> 0:06:52.320 it wasn't nearly nearly enough. What did you look so Tember, 0:06:52.320 --> 0:06:54.479 what you like ant Man? What is it that you 0:06:54.560 --> 0:06:56.880 didn't see that you want to see in order for 0:06:56.960 --> 0:06:57.920 them to win this series? 0:06:57.960 --> 0:06:58.600 Moving forward? 0:06:58.720 --> 0:07:00.720 I mean actually going forward, the Wolves, the Wolves are 0:07:00.720 --> 0:07:02.400 gonna have to have and man has to be on 0:07:02.520 --> 0:07:04.320 he has to be on fire. He has to be 0:07:04.400 --> 0:07:08.440 the leader and go out there and not only facilitate, 0:07:08.720 --> 0:07:11.280 but take a game over. You know, it is only 0:07:11.320 --> 0:07:14.400 game one, and I honestly, honestly, from what I saw, 0:07:14.480 --> 0:07:16.240 I knew Steph was getting hot when he when he 0:07:16.320 --> 0:07:18.360 was playing, But when he went out and he tweaked 0:07:18.360 --> 0:07:20.400 that hamstring a little bit. I think, Okay, this is 0:07:20.400 --> 0:07:22.920 the perfect opportunity for the Wolves to get back in 0:07:22.960 --> 0:07:25.520 the game or at least make it a close game. 0:07:25.560 --> 0:07:27.160 And that's what I thought it would be, you know, 0:07:27.240 --> 0:07:29.320 towards end, I thought that we have opportunity to come back. 0:07:29.560 --> 0:07:32.920 But obviously Jimmy, Jimmy Butler and and Enjoymond Green kind 0:07:32.920 --> 0:07:35.120 of kind of led the way, you know, Buddy Hill 0:07:35.240 --> 0:07:37.480 helped as well and making sure that didn't happen. 0:07:38.160 --> 0:07:40.080 But but he got going in that second half. 0:07:40.240 --> 0:07:42.320 Yet, yeah, you got to go on the second It's 0:07:42.320 --> 0:07:46.080 only game one. It's only game one, so I'm expecting, 0:07:46.080 --> 0:07:47.720 you know, Anthony Everais and the rest of the rest 0:07:47.720 --> 0:07:50.120 of that crew collectively to have to have a better game, 0:07:50.280 --> 0:07:53.880 especially at Man gotta everything. Everybody gonna feed off his 0:07:54.040 --> 0:07:56.960 energy and how he plays, so everything starts with him. 0:07:57.440 --> 0:08:00.360 I mean, you think about it. Minnesota's qored eleven points 0:08:00.360 --> 0:08:06.200 in the second quarter. The Warriors almost outscored them in 0:08:06.240 --> 0:08:09.400 the second quarter. The Warriors scored twenty six points in 0:08:09.440 --> 0:08:12.040 the second quarter. They had thirty one points at the half. 0:08:12.120 --> 0:08:14.800 Minnesota bed I don't know if I've ever seen a 0:08:14.800 --> 0:08:19.640 team beat this this poor in an entire quarter, twelve 0:08:19.640 --> 0:08:22.000 minute quarter, right, I don't know when the last time 0:08:22.040 --> 0:08:24.920 you see somebody score just eleven points in a quarter 0:08:24.960 --> 0:08:25.920 in today's game. 0:08:26.160 --> 0:08:28.320 Now, maybe when the game was physical. Hell, I mean, 0:08:28.360 --> 0:08:32.080 I remember game being seventy three, sixty eight, seventy to 0:08:32.160 --> 0:08:32.880 sixty five. 0:08:33.320 --> 0:08:35.920 But in today's game, when it's up and down, I 0:08:35.920 --> 0:08:38.760 don't know if I've seen this anemic of a quarter 0:08:38.800 --> 0:08:39.440 from a team. 0:08:40.840 --> 0:08:42.760 This is the thing that you got to understand it. 0:08:42.800 --> 0:08:44.000 You must have missed our series. 0:08:44.040 --> 0:08:44.199 Man. 0:08:44.520 --> 0:08:48.439 They defend and in Golden State more than anybody. They 0:08:48.440 --> 0:08:51.880 don't funnel you into a beg because the biggest dream law. 0:08:52.120 --> 0:08:54.320 They just square you off and they keep you in front. 0:08:54.360 --> 0:08:57.360 It's all school basketball, and they force a contest. Then 0:08:57.360 --> 0:09:00.600 you bring Jimmy Butler, and Jimmy can play both away, 0:09:00.679 --> 0:09:03.720 so they got size and they're switchable. And then you 0:09:03.720 --> 0:09:05.480 know Kurt will come in with guys off the bench, 0:09:05.520 --> 0:09:08.480 but very leaked because it's a different style and you're 0:09:08.559 --> 0:09:10.560 used to seeing it. And even when curries out there, 0:09:10.720 --> 0:09:13.720 HER's put on so much muscle, he's stronger. They're deep 0:09:13.760 --> 0:09:16.600 into their scattering port. If there's a weakness that you have, 0:09:16.800 --> 0:09:19.880 you can argue they may be the smartest team in 0:09:19.920 --> 0:09:22.920 the NBA defensively, so it's not a surprise. And on 0:09:22.960 --> 0:09:26.120 the other end, this is my challenge to Anthony Edwards. 0:09:26.160 --> 0:09:27.880 Now he's gonna shoot the ball better just by his 0:09:27.920 --> 0:09:31.520 guy getting abilities. When he learns how to truly play 0:09:31.559 --> 0:09:35.640 the game and manipulate defenses, he is gonna be He's 0:09:35.679 --> 0:09:36.960 gonna be unstoppable. 0:09:37.200 --> 0:09:38.360 And what do I mean by that? 0:09:39.360 --> 0:09:42.120 Luca Doncas can't jump over a from book, but he 0:09:42.160 --> 0:09:44.839 can manipulate defense. And you know what I'm saying, Like 0:09:44.960 --> 0:09:47.840 Luka Donca is gonna find a bad matchup, he gonna 0:09:47.880 --> 0:09:49.760 pull you into a pick and roll, use the angle 0:09:49.800 --> 0:09:52.080 and get it at man playing on all heart right now, 0:09:52.800 --> 0:09:55.160 it's all hearts. Well when he learns how to run 0:09:55.200 --> 0:09:58.400 the pick and roll, find the four matchup, see how 0:09:58.440 --> 0:09:59.520 they're playing him. 0:10:00.360 --> 0:10:01.960 You can't guard him, you know. 0:10:02.120 --> 0:10:04.720 So he's made strides and the game is gonna come 0:10:04.800 --> 0:10:07.520 so much more easier to him. But again that was 0:10:07.640 --> 0:10:11.079 Russ And like Chad saying, chatt is almost impossible, we're 0:10:11.080 --> 0:10:14.120 gonna expect him to go into the next game and 0:10:14.200 --> 0:10:16.960 play that bad and you're gonna have to see, you know, 0:10:17.040 --> 0:10:18.040 here's some problem, Chad. 0:10:18.640 --> 0:10:20.400 I don't know how y'all both y'all feel about this. 0:10:20.960 --> 0:10:22.960 Now you're gonna have to ask Jimmy Butler to do 0:10:23.080 --> 0:10:25.720 a lot more than he's been doing. Jimmy Butler's been 0:10:25.720 --> 0:10:27.880 playing heavy minutes, but he's been saving himself. 0:10:30.280 --> 0:10:31.679 He had eleven rebounds to night. 0:10:31.720 --> 0:10:34.280 He had eight as sister tonight, as you mentioned, because he, 0:10:34.880 --> 0:10:37.480 first of all, Draymond is a point whatever you call him. 0:10:37.520 --> 0:10:39.800 He's a point, center, point forward, whatever you want to 0:10:39.840 --> 0:10:42.120 call him, because he initiates a lot of their offense. 0:10:42.360 --> 0:10:45.080 That's not what Kerry Curry does. Curry spends his time 0:10:45.120 --> 0:10:47.840 being in perpetual motion, running from side to side, coming 0:10:47.880 --> 0:10:50.680 off picks, coming off pin downs, and things of that nature. 0:10:50.840 --> 0:10:53.400 He's not really initiating their offense. That role goes to 0:10:53.480 --> 0:10:57.800 Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green. So now with Curry being out, 0:10:58.040 --> 0:11:00.000 you're probably gonna ask Jimmy to do a little bit 0:11:00.080 --> 0:11:02.400 more of the scoring. He can't be as much as 0:11:02.400 --> 0:11:05.120 a facilitator because he had Curry taking a lot of 0:11:05.120 --> 0:11:07.520 that scoring role. Now, if Curry's going to be out, 0:11:07.559 --> 0:11:10.160 you're gonna ask him to do more. He's more than 0:11:10.240 --> 0:11:12.360 capable of doing that because we saw him for a 0:11:12.440 --> 0:11:15.160 number of years in Miami do some of everything. Go 0:11:15.200 --> 0:11:18.439 get you fifty. If you need six fifteen, sixteen rebounds, 0:11:18.520 --> 0:11:20.800 go get you that. You need double digit assists, he 0:11:20.880 --> 0:11:22.880 can get you that. And so I agree with you, Ryan, 0:11:22.880 --> 0:11:24.760 I think he's gonna have to be He's gonna have 0:11:24.800 --> 0:11:27.280 to be more of everything. He's gonna have to be 0:11:27.400 --> 0:11:29.600 that guy what we saw Lebron be for a lot 0:11:29.600 --> 0:11:33.040 of those years. Maybe lead the team in points, rebounds, assists, hell, 0:11:33.120 --> 0:11:37.880 maybe steal block shots because he has that ability. It's 0:11:37.880 --> 0:11:41.800 gonna be very interesting to see how the Wolves respond 0:11:42.080 --> 0:11:43.120 to this because. 0:11:42.800 --> 0:11:44.840 They had it fairly easy for the most part. 0:11:44.920 --> 0:11:48.400 Look, the Lakers would always choke it off and they 0:11:48.480 --> 0:11:50.640 you know, they would get some confidence going and the 0:11:50.640 --> 0:11:53.200 next thing, you know, at Man get hot. Everybody catch 0:11:53.200 --> 0:11:55.520 five shooting your three. It was five and twenty nine 0:11:55.520 --> 0:11:59.160 to night. Now they're not. They made the fifth most threes, 0:11:59.360 --> 0:12:02.040 but they're not. They weren't a great three point shooting 0:12:02.080 --> 0:12:05.120 team against the Lakers. They just got HoTT and spells 0:12:05.360 --> 0:12:07.080 and that was good enough to carry them over. 0:12:07.120 --> 0:12:08.920 At Man did what he did, But. 0:12:08.840 --> 0:12:11.400 You got Jane Daniels averaging twenty two to twenty three 0:12:11.400 --> 0:12:13.600 points a game. And you see the night he had twelve, 0:12:13.760 --> 0:12:16.080 You had Julius Randill giving you twenty two and six 0:12:16.120 --> 0:12:20.360 and five. He had eighteen tonight. So everybody played below 0:12:20.440 --> 0:12:25.280 their average against the Lakers. And I don't know if 0:12:25.320 --> 0:12:28.520 that this effort tonight, they're gonna have to find something 0:12:28.559 --> 0:12:32.679 because I like what you said, Ryan. The Warriors are team. 0:12:33.200 --> 0:12:35.960 They don't beat themselves. They make you beat them. So 0:12:36.080 --> 0:12:38.120 if you think they're gonna make silly mistakes, oh Joe 0:12:38.120 --> 0:12:40.679 by threeing the ball over being caught out of position, 0:12:41.040 --> 0:12:42.840 you don't see them pointing to bro I thought you 0:12:42.920 --> 0:12:44.880 had that. I thought you was spold to show. I 0:12:44.920 --> 0:12:46.520 thought you was gonna hedge. I thought we was gonna 0:12:46.520 --> 0:12:48.520 switch this. You don't see them doing a lot of that. 0:12:48.920 --> 0:12:51.720 They know exactly what they're gonna do, according to what 0:12:51.760 --> 0:12:54.960 you're gonna do, and if you beat them, you beat them. 0:12:55.280 --> 0:12:57.520 But they're not gonna make those silly ticket tag mistakes 0:12:57.559 --> 0:12:59.559 that you're like, damn, well, you know we made a 0:12:59.559 --> 0:13:01.360 lot of mistake like that. That's not what they do. 0:13:02.200 --> 0:13:02.400 Well. 0:13:02.520 --> 0:13:05.000 Well, one thing also, I want to touch on it. 0:13:05.120 --> 0:13:07.000 You say you say when you beat the Warriors. You 0:13:07.040 --> 0:13:08.920 gotta beat them. They're not going to beat themselves. 0:13:08.960 --> 0:13:10.960 And we talked about Anthony Edwards in that in that 0:13:11.040 --> 0:13:14.160 cast collectively having a better shooting game and and and 0:13:14.280 --> 0:13:17.400 shooting above above what their percentage is to even have 0:13:17.480 --> 0:13:18.160 a chance to win. 0:13:18.600 --> 0:13:20.600 But are we even worried a little. 0:13:20.360 --> 0:13:23.600 Bit about the about the Warriors, you know, with Curry's 0:13:23.600 --> 0:13:26.320 hamstring being out going into game too or do you 0:13:26.360 --> 0:13:29.120 think Jimmy Butler, Buddy Hill and Dre Monk. 0:13:28.960 --> 0:13:32.199 And hey Chad, I'm gonna tell you one thing. 0:13:32.320 --> 0:13:36.160 Yeah, as as fatigued as he is and his age, 0:13:37.520 --> 0:13:38.120 he might. 0:13:37.920 --> 0:13:39.240 Be back game three or four. 0:13:39.720 --> 0:13:42.040 Now, the gold right now, if you're Golden State of 0:13:42.120 --> 0:13:46.040 ceed and you notice you stole that game, yes, so 0:13:46.200 --> 0:13:51.800 now you can rest. Yes, when Jimmy Butler went out 0:13:51.880 --> 0:13:55.280 against Houston, they were able to rest because they won. 0:13:55.440 --> 0:13:57.720 They won a game, and they were able to get 0:13:57.800 --> 0:13:58.280 him back. 0:13:58.720 --> 0:14:02.040 So if you're gold State, you're saying, if we can 0:14:02.080 --> 0:14:04.840 get him back by game three or four and not 0:14:05.000 --> 0:14:07.640 rush it because we sol a game, which means even 0:14:08.080 --> 0:14:09.880 we just need to get one at home, and now 0:14:09.920 --> 0:14:11.640 we still got a series. That's the biggest thing I 0:14:11.640 --> 0:14:15.120 want to touch on something. You said, Anthony Edwards wasn't 0:14:15.200 --> 0:14:19.680 threshured against the Lakers. They literally it was man one. Yeah, 0:14:19.840 --> 0:14:21.840 he played one on one, but he pretty much zoned 0:14:21.880 --> 0:14:24.160 the week side because they don't have the ability to 0:14:24.160 --> 0:14:27.160 pressure the basketball. Golden State got up from pressure to 0:14:27.200 --> 0:14:31.080 Anthony Edwards. Okay, Gary Payton the second yeps a dog. Okay, 0:14:31.360 --> 0:14:34.320 he can dog Draymond and guard you. So they showed 0:14:34.440 --> 0:14:37.720 bodies and they're saying, thick it to somebody else. 0:14:37.760 --> 0:14:39.760 You know, nas Reed was wide open. 0:14:39.960 --> 0:14:42.240 Mc daniels was wide open for three because I can 0:14:42.280 --> 0:14:43.040 help him recovering. 0:14:43.160 --> 0:14:44.360 To those guys, they don't have. 0:14:44.360 --> 0:14:46.880 A n maw shooter if it's not Mike Pinley in 0:14:46.920 --> 0:14:47.600 that situation. 0:14:48.760 --> 0:14:51.040 Yeah, because you look at Julius Randall oh for three, 0:14:51.400 --> 0:14:55.200 Jay McDaniels, oh for three, Mike Conley oh for two, 0:14:55.600 --> 0:14:59.920 Anthony Edwards one for five, Dante Devenceienzo one for seven, 0:15:00.400 --> 0:15:02.560 Alexander Walker over two. 0:15:03.400 --> 0:15:05.520 So at that point in time. 0:15:05.400 --> 0:15:07.720 Golden State says, you know what, hey, guys, let's not 0:15:07.760 --> 0:15:09.480 chase them off the line. Let's leave him at the 0:15:09.480 --> 0:15:10.840 line because they ain't gonna be able to throw a 0:15:10.920 --> 0:15:13.000 notion anyway. So we running out of there, getting out 0:15:13.000 --> 0:15:15.640 of a position. And and this is what's surprised that 0:15:15.680 --> 0:15:18.320 a lot of people might not realize. To be a small, 0:15:18.520 --> 0:15:21.280 small team, go toen State is a great rebounding team. 0:15:21.600 --> 0:15:25.360 They out rebounded They out rebounded Minnesota by ten with 0:15:25.640 --> 0:15:28.800 Rudy Gobert with Julius Randall, with Nas Reed with. 0:15:29.240 --> 0:15:30.800 Man with Jaydon McDaniels. 0:15:30.960 --> 0:15:32.840 Let that think it because if you look at them 0:15:32.960 --> 0:15:36.320 side by side, you're like, damn, Rudy Gobe looked like 0:15:36.360 --> 0:15:40.960 Delia Julius Randalls sixty nine, so I mean the tallest, 0:15:41.000 --> 0:15:42.960 the tallest player that they and then started lineup with 0:15:43.000 --> 0:15:47.160 probably Draymond and Jimmy Butler. At sixth seven, you got 0:15:47.280 --> 0:15:52.440 Steph Curry six two six three, maybe Buddy Hill. But 0:15:52.840 --> 0:15:54.520 they getta they get a they cause they get you 0:15:54.520 --> 0:15:57.040 out of position because you're scrambling trying to run guys 0:15:57.160 --> 0:15:59.280 up the three point line. They missed and they know 0:15:59.320 --> 0:16:05.440 what about to care and they get the ball. But no, Chad, 0:16:05.480 --> 0:16:07.960 the reason they don't give those rebounds, and we talked 0:16:08.000 --> 0:16:10.520 about it earlier. They stay on the body. 0:16:10.600 --> 0:16:12.920 It's hard to beat them off the bounce, and even 0:16:13.000 --> 0:16:15.120 when you beat them, they stay in the play. 0:16:15.440 --> 0:16:17.360 So now your body's on bodies. 0:16:17.400 --> 0:16:19.880 When I can get bodies on bodies and box you out, 0:16:20.160 --> 0:16:21.480 it's old school basketball. 0:16:21.480 --> 0:16:23.560 Steve approaching old school basketball. 0:16:23.560 --> 0:16:26.760 So that's why they they're so dominant on the glass. 0:16:27.040 --> 0:16:29.120 And then on the other end, here's my fear of Chad, 0:16:29.800 --> 0:16:32.240 And I don't know how you feel about this. Worry's 0:16:32.400 --> 0:16:36.400 running around. You gotta give attention. You gotta get two 0:16:36.480 --> 0:16:39.360 to the ball. That opens up Buddy Hill, that opens 0:16:39.440 --> 0:16:41.120 up the other guys, It opens up Jimmy. 0:16:41.160 --> 0:16:41.680 But even though. 0:16:41.600 --> 0:16:44.120 Jimmy Butler doesn't want to shoot, he got he got 0:16:44.160 --> 0:16:47.920 free space. That free face is gonna go away. And 0:16:48.000 --> 0:16:51.280 my key, this is my keyball forward. The Temple Wolves 0:16:51.280 --> 0:16:53.560 are excellent when they can turn you over. They're young, 0:16:53.600 --> 0:16:56.520 they're athletic, they play off energy. And Golden State is 0:16:56.560 --> 0:16:58.080 doing what Chad. They holding the back. 0:16:58.160 --> 0:17:00.120 Chad, you watch them, they hold the basketball. 0:17:00.280 --> 0:17:03.400 You're gonna see them shoot by design and normally in 0:17:03.480 --> 0:17:06.040 basketball chair, you don't want to see this. It's almost 0:17:06.040 --> 0:17:08.240 like a football y'all. Don't want to play that team 0:17:08.280 --> 0:17:10.840 that's gonna defend and just hold the ball. They hocking 0:17:10.880 --> 0:17:13.080 the ball the last that's those them say, they shooting 0:17:13.119 --> 0:17:16.480 the ball at five seconds, eight or five seconds every possession, 0:17:16.640 --> 0:17:18.480 so they pushed the game out in time. 0:17:19.119 --> 0:17:22.480 Yeah, that's what I mean. They're they're the total opposite 0:17:22.520 --> 0:17:24.800 of Indiana. If you look at Indiana, they're looking to 0:17:24.800 --> 0:17:29.120 push them for eight or we get off the rim. 0:17:29.320 --> 0:17:31.360 But you look at it and fort dribbles, they got 0:17:31.359 --> 0:17:33.520 somebody if you're not careful, they got somebody laying the 0:17:33.520 --> 0:17:36.000 ball up in the basket. You look at Steve Curry, says, 0:17:36.040 --> 0:17:37.800 Steph Curry is day to day and we'll get an 0:17:37.880 --> 0:17:41.520 Mr Tomorrow. Obviously, he's crushed Buddy Hill game one, twenty 0:17:41.520 --> 0:17:44.720 four points, five may threes. He's hit fourteen to three 0:17:45.200 --> 0:17:48.720 in his previous two games, and he won them game 0:17:48.800 --> 0:17:52.199 seven because he caught fire and they didn't have an 0:17:52.200 --> 0:17:55.280 answer for it. And tonight the second half, when you 0:17:55.359 --> 0:17:58.200 saw Minnesota started to make a run, it was him 0:17:58.560 --> 0:18:01.360 boom boom boom in the third quarter, and when they 0:18:01.400 --> 0:18:03.880 cut it Ryn and Ojoe. You remember in the fourth quarter, 0:18:03.960 --> 0:18:05.800 I think they had got it down to eighth, he 0:18:05.880 --> 0:18:07.719 made a two pointer and then he came right back 0:18:07.760 --> 0:18:09.400 down and made a three and pushed it right back 0:18:09.440 --> 0:18:12.120 to thirteen, and they really never challenged after that. 0:18:12.359 --> 0:18:16.080 But Buddy is playing. I mean, look, he could always 0:18:16.119 --> 0:18:16.600 shoot the ball. 0:18:16.640 --> 0:18:18.800 If you look at him where he is now as 0:18:18.800 --> 0:18:21.159 far as three pointers, he's head of what Curry was 0:18:21.200 --> 0:18:22.800 at the same point in time in their careers. 0:18:22.920 --> 0:18:24.560 Now, I'm not saying he's gonna catch Curry. 0:18:24.600 --> 0:18:27.040 I'm not saying he's a better shooter, but I'm saying 0:18:27.400 --> 0:18:31.000 step came in and and and started this revolution or 0:18:31.000 --> 0:18:33.639 this evolution, whatever term you want to use. And so 0:18:33.760 --> 0:18:36.760 now guys are coming in and they're getting up more threes. 0:18:37.480 --> 0:18:41.240
