1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:02,880 Speaker 1: Let me ask you this transitioning back into basketball, current 2 00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:05,440 Speaker 1: state of the Miami Heat, what do you. 3 00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:09,760 Speaker 2: Think, Oh, they've spoiled us like it is so hard 4 00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:13,039 Speaker 2: you see Sacramento fall back to the pack like we've 5 00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:17,400 Speaker 2: been the last twenty years of it's always championship or bust. 6 00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:18,280 Speaker 3: Makes it so a. 7 00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:24,000 Speaker 2: Ten and ten team that needs to be three All 8 00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:27,040 Speaker 2: Stars instead of two. It can't be the Tyler Heroes 9 00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:28,720 Speaker 2: an All Star but only when Bam isn't. 10 00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:29,840 Speaker 3: They need three. 11 00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:32,479 Speaker 2: They used to have three guys that you guys joined them, 12 00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:35,640 Speaker 2: and they need three guys again to go after the 13 00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:39,720 Speaker 2: Celtics have clearly passed them. The Celtics are just dragging 14 00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:43,519 Speaker 2: the league because they've evolved everything that you guys did 15 00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:48,360 Speaker 2: with positionless basketball. They now have a perfect thing that 16 00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:54,600 Speaker 2: has surpassed the Miami Heat. And you know, the teams 17 00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:57,800 Speaker 2: not as relevant as it used to be, which hurts 18 00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:01,600 Speaker 2: me because they've been pass and it's not even because 19 00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:03,800 Speaker 2: Philadelphia or Milwaukee. 20 00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:04,720 Speaker 3: Have gotten that good. 21 00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:08,120 Speaker 2: It's because Boston has separated itself in a way that 22 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:10,840 Speaker 2: makes it difficult for anybody in the division to be 23 00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:12,760 Speaker 2: relevant and makes the Knicks have the. 24 00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:14,160 Speaker 3: Pieces to chase. 25 00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:17,080 Speaker 2: But I will say this. I have seen pat Riley 26 00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:21,479 Speaker 2: say before make a wish dinner in the morning that 27 00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:24,160 Speaker 2: no one was going to be traded, and then six 28 00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:27,640 Speaker 2: guys on the team were traded that night. So I 29 00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,680 Speaker 2: don't think he's gonna sit around approaching eighty years old 30 00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:33,640 Speaker 2: for very much longer. You guys felt the furnace like, 31 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:35,320 Speaker 2: you guys are going to be out in here too. 32 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:37,959 Speaker 2: One more game getting lost, and some people would have 33 00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:38,679 Speaker 2: been out the door. 34 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:40,000 Speaker 3: Yes, like he is not. 35 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:43,640 Speaker 2: We knew that, okay, but I'm guessing that Jimmy and 36 00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:45,480 Speaker 2: Tyler and everybody knows. 37 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 3: Now. Look, pat Riley is late seventies. 38 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,280 Speaker 2: He still runs that franchise, even though it's a team 39 00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:54,120 Speaker 2: of five people that run it. But everyone's trying to 40 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,120 Speaker 2: win now in that window. I can't Maybe I got 41 00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,400 Speaker 2: this wrong. We're taping this now, but I can't see 42 00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:02,240 Speaker 2: Jimmy Butler being traded for pieces that don't bring back 43 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:03,960 Speaker 2: somebody better than Jimmy Butler. 44 00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:06,040 Speaker 3: Like, I don't think they're trading. 45 00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:08,760 Speaker 2: For the most Like no, I think they any trade 46 00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:10,880 Speaker 2: they make this year is because we're working behind the 47 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,480 Speaker 2: scenes to get whoever. I don't I don't even know 48 00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:16,240 Speaker 2: who it would be you know, Joel em Beid or 49 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,800 Speaker 2: Anthony Edwards is mad because of how ownership is going. 50 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:21,960 Speaker 2: Whatever it is, it's not it's not gonna just be. 51 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:23,960 Speaker 2: We're gonna sit on our hands and do it again 52 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:25,760 Speaker 2: and and and try and get in as an eight 53 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:27,960 Speaker 2: seed while Jimmy's contract comes up. 54 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,480 Speaker 1: That's that's a perfect that's actually a perfect transition into 55 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,160 Speaker 1: our Draft Kings segment, our partners of DraftKings. The way 56 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:35,919 Speaker 1: too early Eastern Conference Finals and Western Commerce Finals champ 57 00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,200 Speaker 1: who you see because we just talked about obviously you 58 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:39,960 Speaker 1: know there's gonna be trades, so it's west way too early. 59 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:41,800 Speaker 1: There's gonna be some movement, There's gonna be some everyone's 60 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 1: gonna pivot and change. Who you have Eastern Conference Finals, 61 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:45,839 Speaker 1: Western Conference Finals right now? 62 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:46,800 Speaker 3: Why are you smiling? 63 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:48,720 Speaker 4: Because I know you're not gonna say the heat. 64 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 2: I'm not going to say the heat. No I I 65 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 2: why yeah, I would not say the heat. The Celtics 66 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:58,480 Speaker 2: would have to get injured. Unless are you so hopeful 67 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,160 Speaker 2: that you are of the belief that the that the 68 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 2: place that the Boston Celtics have the one weakness is 69 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 2: that the Miami heat might actually be tougher, and and 70 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:13,520 Speaker 2: and summon whatever they summoned when Bam was blocking them 71 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 2: at the rim. 72 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:16,360 Speaker 4: In the bubble, I would say this, Boston is as 73 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:18,080 Speaker 4: probably good as they're going to get right now. And 74 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,160 Speaker 4: then they are ahead of the field and they are ahead 75 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:23,360 Speaker 4: of everybody else. I still think that there's some opportunities 76 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 4: for the Heat to continue to grow because I like 77 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:28,000 Speaker 4: Spoe in a seven game series against anybody, he's going 78 00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:29,400 Speaker 4: to put you in a position to win and you're 79 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:31,680 Speaker 4: going to have a chance. But right now, nobody's going 80 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:33,639 Speaker 4: to sit here and say that you know, Boston is 81 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 4: not the best team in it. 82 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,800 Speaker 3: You'd be the you'd be hopeful, but this, this is uh. 83 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 2: I was thinking mostly out West because I think of 84 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 2: the East as a foe gun conclusion because of how 85 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 2: good they have looked, and I mean, it's just ridiculous. 86 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 2: Everything's double digit wins, they never have double digit deferences, 87 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:48,920 Speaker 2: and all they are thirty plus games. 88 00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:49,640 Speaker 3: It'sassinating. 89 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:52,320 Speaker 4: What they have is they have five guys that you 90 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 4: have to guard at all times. And that's why they 91 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,000 Speaker 4: were able to take advantage of Dallas because there's no 92 00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 4: there was no weeks, there was no week link for Luca, 93 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 4: and they literally Luca on defense every single time until 94 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 4: they broke him. And I was watching the playoffs and 95 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 4: I was saying to myself, why won't team just attack 96 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 4: Luca because teams didn't have five guys that could attack them. 97 00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:11,400 Speaker 4: When you look at Minnesota, they didn't have five guys. 98 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,200 Speaker 4: You had Anthony Edwards and you had Cat. They was 99 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:14,840 Speaker 4: putting him. 100 00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 3: On go bear mom around, keep him out of the fire. 101 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:20,599 Speaker 4: You say that, but Boston, Yeah, put his ass in 102 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,640 Speaker 4: the fire every single time. You got Derrick White, you 103 00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:26,359 Speaker 4: got Drew Holliday, You damn show ain't guard Jaylen Brown. 104 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 3: You damn show ain't Guardent Tatum. 105 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:29,280 Speaker 4: Oh and by the way, I hope we're gonna put 106 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 4: your ass in the basket to the Saint Rudy Gobert 107 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 4: down here, so it was nowhere for him to hide. 108 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:35,640 Speaker 2: I am it's funny that you bring all of that up, 109 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:37,479 Speaker 2: because I'd be curious what you guys think about this. 110 00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 2: I really wanted to see Denver and Boston in the final. 111 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,800 Speaker 2: I wanted a champion to be dethroned. I wanted Boston 112 00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 2: to have to earn it. And Denver has the five 113 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:51,560 Speaker 2: players that he speaks of and I believe that I 114 00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:54,800 Speaker 2: can summon the argument and not get too much argument 115 00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,880 Speaker 2: from either one of you, that Jokic is the best 116 00:04:57,920 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 2: basketball player there has ever been. 117 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:05,240 Speaker 5: I'm putting it ahead of Jordan's, ahead of Lebron, I know, 118 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,919 Speaker 5: just because the numerical efficiencies of what he is doing 119 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,160 Speaker 5: are unseen in the history of the game. 120 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:14,640 Speaker 2: Like I understand he moves like a giant loaf of bread. 121 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:19,760 Speaker 2: I understand that we underestimate the things that he might 122 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,000 Speaker 2: do because athletically it doesn't seem. 123 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:22,719 Speaker 3: Like he's that gifted. 124 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:27,600 Speaker 2: But if Boston were playing Denver in a series, Boston 125 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:29,719 Speaker 2: would not have the best player. Dan. 126 00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 1: I'm gonna get a funny story about Joker. I get. 127 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:37,360 Speaker 1: I signed in Denver. I go to training camp two 128 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:39,800 Speaker 1: days late because I did a buy out from Portland 129 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:43,240 Speaker 1: to go there. So I go there and practice is 130 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:46,719 Speaker 1: over and the front office guys come over. So what 131 00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 1: do you think your team? I said, I don't know 132 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:50,040 Speaker 1: who that fat, ugly kid is right there, but he's 133 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 1: your best player. And like, what are you talking about? 134 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:54,040 Speaker 1: He was a fifty well you know, fifty third pick 135 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,640 Speaker 1: wasn't even playing, and they had all these young no, no, 136 00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 1: It's like the matrix. When it hits his hands, the 137 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 1: whole game just freezes. And I was like, I've never 138 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 1: seen a young kid do that before, and then they 139 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 1: don't really play him. Tell about halfway through the season, 140 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,680 Speaker 1: because I had that Nurkic over there, they had all 141 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:10,080 Speaker 1: those gut you know, I mean, like were they were 142 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:12,400 Speaker 1: a young up and coming team and Mike Malone like. 143 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:14,120 Speaker 1: But I was like, yo, y'all gonna have to let 144 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:16,760 Speaker 1: that dude grow like or get rid of something, you 145 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,040 Speaker 1: know what I mean.
