1
00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:05,000
Speaker 1: So Nos Baby. You know what, I don't even have

2
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:07,360
Speaker 1: to look at the script for this one. My house

3
00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:10,760
Speaker 1: is a Sono's house. If you're a regular listener to

4
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:12,840
Speaker 1: this show, you know that I'm a bit of an

5
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:17,040
Speaker 1: audio file, kind of insufferable about it. I'm obsessed with

6
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:22,239
Speaker 1: sound quality matters. That's why I have Sonos speakers all

7
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:24,840
Speaker 1: over the damn place. The first thing you do when

8
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:28,200
Speaker 1: you get a Sono speaker is he give it a name. Now,

9
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 1: I couldn't named them for each room they're in, but

10
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 1: where's a fun in that. In the kitchen, we got

11
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 1: the Olsen Twins, they're a stereo pair.

12
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 2: Makes sense.

13
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:40,839
Speaker 1: Dining room, why that's mister Carson, of course. And we

14
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:43,320
Speaker 1: got Coach Steve down in the garage because that's where

15
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 1: we've been working out. And we just got the brand

16
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:51,280
Speaker 1: new son No's move, which we call Mauvernie of course,

17
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 1: because he's always on the move and he's always on

18
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:54,640
Speaker 1: the run.

19
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 3: I love mo Vernie.

20
00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 1: He works just like the twins, mister Carson and Coach Steve,

21
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:02,279
Speaker 1: but he runs on a battery and I can take

22
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:04,960
Speaker 1: him anywhere I want inside or outside of that house.

23
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 1: And if I'm not around, WI Fi I can connect

24
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:10,400
Speaker 1: my phone to it via Bluetooth. The battery lasts for

25
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 1: up to eleven hours, and it's durable weather resistance design

26
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 1: is perfect for outdoor listening. Soos works with all your

64
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:16,919
Speaker 3: I got all my vt GTA for it.

65
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 2: All right, what do you get a good carrots?

67
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 3: get with the count.

68
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 4: Good carrots in the the hummits for the Denver Nuggets. Yes, yes,

69
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 4: so flavorsome. Jamal Murray and Jokich help the Nuggets stun

70
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 4: the Clippers. Let's be honest here. One O four to

71
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 4: eighty nine's your final score in Game seven tasks as

72
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 4: they continue this miraculous like comeback run here move on

73
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 4: to the Western Conference Finals to take on the Lakers.

74
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 4: Unbelievable stuff.

75
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 5: It was fun to watch Nikolai Jokich and Jamal Murray work,

76
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 5: and let's be honest, those were the two best players

77
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 5: in this game by far. In Game seven, Nikolich, the

78
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 5: were doubling him, and I thought to myself in the

79
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 5: first half, you gotta get Jamal Murray going because if

80
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 5: you're doubling Jokic, they're trying to take him out of

81
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 5: the game. Murray's got to get uncooked and get cooked

82
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 5: in a hurry here. And Murray has scored twenty points

83
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 5: in that second quarter, and then in the second half

84
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 5: he kept going. Jamal Murray with a forty point game.

85
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 5: We got to keep just talking about the Nuggets here

86
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 5: because yeah, even if they are classified as a hummus

87
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 5: here on no dunks, they were definitely the best team.

88
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 5: Jamal Murray a forty spot. He had his series high

89
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 5: by far in a Game seven. That's got to be said.

90
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:40,359
Speaker 5: He didn't even have a thirty point game in this series.

91
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 5: So with the doubling happening and the weak defense happening

92
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 5: in the second half, it was easy money for Jamal Murray.

93
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:51,919
Speaker 5: He wasn't he didn't seem all that that push that stressed.

94
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 5: I mean, he was stepping way behind the three point

95
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 5: line and didn't even have to go in the arc.

96
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 5: He was just he was just money. And so it's

97
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 5: going to be a blast watching those two guys against

98
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 5: the Los Angeles Lakers. I think this is this is

99
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 5: already a different series than last year. It feels like,

100
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:10,599
Speaker 5: you know, people are comparing them to the Blazers going

101
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 5: into the Western Conference Finals getting mopped by the Warriors.

102
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,160
Speaker 5: But the Nuggets are not the Blazers of last year.

103
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 5: They're gonna put up a fight. And let's talk about

104
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 5: the Clippers. Guys.

105
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 2: We got to well, we're already moving to the Clippers.

106
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:22,479
Speaker 2: That's it.

107
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 4: That's all the Nuggets get here.

108
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah, Luke, go ahead, you can talk nugs.

109
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 5: We can talk nugs if you want.

110
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:29,919
Speaker 4: It's just I mean, we do. Yeah, you said Murray

111
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,040
Speaker 4: with the forty, but Jokic two just as special, right

112
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 4: with the triple double through three quarters and dissecting them

113
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:39,600
Speaker 4: like almost embarrassingly what he was doing to them, and

114
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:43,159
Speaker 4: they once again overcome the double double digit deficit. Excuse

115
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:45,920
Speaker 4: me now, in three straight elimination games. It's just cool.

116
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 4: I mean, it was nice to see Michael Malone after saying, like, man,

117
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:50,719
Speaker 4: did we passed the character test? Or what they believed

118
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 4: in each other? That's all it matters really out there,

119
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 4: we can say they're done, we can say they're dead.

120
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 4: I did multiple times in this series. And it does

121
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 4: prove I think Lee, you know when we talk about, hey,

122
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 4: when you got a chance to bury a team and

123
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 4: end them, you better do it. Because the Clippers didn't

124
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:08,720
Speaker 4: in that Game five, and of course into Game six,

125
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 4: and then this is what happens. You get into a

126
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:13,479
Speaker 4: game seven and maybe your star players have an off night.

127
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 4: Oh my god, did they ever in Kawhi and Paul

128
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 4: George while the other two, like Tass said, the Nuggets,

129
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 4: both of them just dominated this game.

130
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,600
Speaker 5: The better team won, period. The better team won and

131
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 5: won this series. They're just a better team. Regardless of

132
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 5: whether the Clippers buried them in Game five or not.

133
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:30,840
Speaker 5: They proved to be the better team in this series.

134
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, but no one was picking them to win. So

135
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 4: I mean, like they shocked the world here. They shocked

136
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,160
Speaker 4: all of us, everybody. No one had the Nuggets beating

137
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 4: the Clippers because they weren't the better team. They weren't

138
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 4: regular season better team. They didn't really improve that in

139
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 4: the playoffs up to this point. And let's I forget

140
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,840
Speaker 4: the Clippers were building twenty point leads basically on this team.

141
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 4: So they're doing something right for a good chunk of

142
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:53,039
Speaker 4: this game, and then what happens, I don't know, they

143
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,039
Speaker 4: take their foot off the gas. The Nuggets just find

144
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,160
Speaker 4: a little bit more of a groove. I mean, they

145
00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:00,280
Speaker 4: really snatched this one game seven. I thought tass not

146
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 4: only in the second half when they do their crazy runs.

147
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 4: I saw Bobby March pointing out on Twitter at the

148
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 4: end of the first half was a perfect example of

149
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 4: the Clippers not putting them away. It was an eleven

150
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 4: point lead with about three and a half to go

151
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 4: in the first half, and then Jamal Murray specifically just

152
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 4: took over and said, no, we're gonna make this a game.

153
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 4: We're gonna have a chance here in the second half.

154
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 4: I'll go through it because I think it is interesting.

155
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 4: You had Beverley again putting them up eleven three and

156
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 4: a half to go. Okay, all right, you're gonna have

157
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 4: a nice, comfortable lead hanging in the half here. I

158
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 4: know that hasn't really mattered in games five or six,

159
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 4: but you're gonna be all feeling pretty good. But Murray

160
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 4: brings it up, uses a high pick from Meal, Kich

161
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 4: steps into a three big then Lou turns it over.

162
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 4: Sloppy play, you know, just not taking it all that seriously.

163
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 4: Nuggets getting nothing, they're fighting hard, getting offensive rebounds, Stow

164
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 4: and so Cohi then turns it over. Here we go again,

165
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 4: Lou Jamal Murray again driving stuff like that. Then he

166
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 4: hits another step back baseline jumper. It's like suddenly they're

167
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 4: like down two at the half and you're like, what how.

168
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, baclay right skeets because you saw so many tweets

169
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 2: that first half that we're saying, watch out the Clippers.

170
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 2: They're going to get up by sixteen again and then

171
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 2: blow it. But it was just impressive to see Murray

172
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 2: finally get a little daylight in this series, go off

173
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 2: for twenty in that second quarter and kept him in

174
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 2: the game, positioned him perfectly to take over there in

175
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 2: the second half. You know, it was close through the

176
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 2: first half, but it definitely felt like the Nuggets were

177
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 2: gonna be able to pull it out because they turned

178
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 2: the ball over so many times in the first half.

179
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 2: It looked like a game seven. Little bit of nerves,

180
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 2: but that huge second quarter from Murray set them back

181
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 2: on course, and once they came out in the second half,

182
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 2: the Clippers just fell apart and the Nuggets took advantage

183
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 2: of it. Nikola Jokic was the best player in this series.

184
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:41,840
Speaker 2: He was the best player last night, I would say

185
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,199
Speaker 2: for the entirety of the game, and he took thirteen shots.

186
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:46,839
Speaker 2: That's crazy to dominate a game when you're taking thirteen shots,

187
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,560
Speaker 2: but he was huge creating for teammates. He was clear

188
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:51,960
Speaker 2: in the glass. The guy is trying to fill up

189
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:54,319
Speaker 2: his punch card at subway. That's three straight twelve inches

190
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:56,840
Speaker 2: easily easily from Nikola Jokich.

191
00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 4: The guy dominated.

192
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 6: I absolutely agree for God to have sixteen points to

193
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 6: completely dominate that game, because anytime the Clippers decided, all right,

194
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 6: let's double him, he never panicked. He showed so much

195
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 6: incredible poise to make the right pass to his teammates,

196
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 6: and the teammates knocked them down. I think that's one

197
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:14,960
Speaker 6: thing when you play with Nikola jokicch that you don't

198
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 6: know when the ball's coming to you, but you know

199
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:17,679
Speaker 6: it's going to come to you at some point. If

200
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 6: you cut, if you get to the open spot, he's

201
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 6: going to find you because he does a lot of

202
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 6: those jump passes that usually coaches don't like because it's like,

203
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:26,440
Speaker 6: don't jump in the air if you're not sure what

204
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 6: you're going to do. But he sort of has that

205
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 6: vision and that ability to hit the target every time

206
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:34,079
Speaker 6: at the right spot. And again, Jeremy Grant just cutting

207
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 6: inside baseline, or Gary Harris on the three point line,

208
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:39,440
Speaker 6: or Tory Craig, whoever it was, Jokic found that guy.

209
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 6: He saw the doubles coming, he knew they were coming,

210
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:43,560
Speaker 6: and he was like, I'm going to make the pass.

211
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 6: Yet I'm not going to try to outscore these guys

212
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:45,680
Speaker 6: or try.

213
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 3: To shoot over them. Because he actually didn' shoot all

214
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:47,560
Speaker 3: that well.

215
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:50,199
Speaker 6: I didn't hit a three pointer, but again, that's sort

216
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:51,720
Speaker 6: of his game is he doesn't want to have to

217
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 6: go out there and score thirty five points. He wants

218
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 6: to get everybody involved. And I thought you saw that

219
00:09:56,679 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 6: and the Clippers, the one question, you know, I coming

220
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:02,200
Speaker 6: into this series was what would they be like if

221
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 6: they if they sort of faced adversity or got behind.

222
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 6: And the answer was like, awful. It was just awful

223
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 6: last night. Like you didn't even really see at any

224
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:12,960
Speaker 6: point when they were down in that second half a

225
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 6: spirited comeback. You know, they missed a couple of bunnies.

226
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 6: I think Lou Williams missed the layup and Paul George

227
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 6: missed one as well.

228
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, pretty close in.

229
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 6: But there was no like, all right, guys, let's just

230
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 6: you know, lay it all on the line here. It

231
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 6: was almost more like even Kawhi struggled. Kawhi I took

232
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 6: some bad shots, and that I think is sort of

233
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 6: what it was with the Clippers. Like when they're ahead

234
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 6: and when they're leading, they're okay, but when they face adversity,

235
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:38,440
Speaker 6: they just crumbled immediately. And that was a really, really

236
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 6: bad sign. So one other bad sign is I will say,

237
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:43,199
Speaker 6: is don't brush your teeth just before you're about to

238
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 6: eat a plate of hummus and vegetables. That's a little

239
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 6: lights out there for you. Yeah yeah, but.

240
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:51,960
Speaker 5: When are you supposed to brush your teeth? Because every

241
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,199
Speaker 5: time you eat something in the morning. It's oh, man,

242
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 5: I wish you didn't brush my teeth before. You know,

243
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 5: it's like you got it, what brush your teeth, then

244
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 5: dirty it up and then eat this. Yeah, there's never

245
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 5: there's never a good time.

246
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 6: But overall again, I mean Nikola Jokich for a gay

247
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:08,720
Speaker 6: what was his final stat line now, I think twenty

248
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 6: two ree but yet sixteen points, twenty two rebounds, thirteen assists,

249
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 6: three blocks. I thought one of the most dominating playoff

250
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:20,320
Speaker 6: you know, a series clinching performances I've ever seen, maybe

251
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 6: the lowest scoring though for a guy, because generally it's

252
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 6: the guy I like it Murray who goes for forty

253
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 6: and you say, well, he was the best player and

254
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:29,679
Speaker 6: as outstanding as Murray was last night, Nikolai Jokich won

255
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 6: this game for the night.

256
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, that's why it pairs nicely, right. It's the

257
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:36,959
Speaker 4: opposite of hummus and tooth past, Yes, because it's jokicch Yeah,

258
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,320
Speaker 4: Yolkic being the full crumb of everything. But then you

259
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:41,439
Speaker 4: have a lights out guy that can catch fire like

260
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:44,439
Speaker 4: Jamal Murray. Man is he fund when he's got a

261
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 4: going And then you did have Paul Millsap, Jeremy Grant,

262
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:50,960
Speaker 4: Gary Harris. You know, they combined to hit three pointers

263
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:52,959
Speaker 4: too to sort of give them back in this scheme

264
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 4: and then run away with it. And Gary Harris, I

265
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 4: mean him coming back into the lineup. I don't think

266
00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:00,439
Speaker 4: we can overlook that obviously, just gives them a good

267
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 4: defender that helps their chances to get stops on that end.

268
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:05,200
Speaker 4: And then yeah, he started finding his rhythm a little

269
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 4: bit as the playoffs have gone on and started to

270
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:10,440
Speaker 4: contributing those cutting back doors, set peninsistem threes and stuff

271
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 4: like that. So, I mean, it's a pretty wild that

272
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 4: in the second half of the final three games of

273
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 4: these series, the Nuggets averaged sixty points and shot fifty

274
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:21,199
Speaker 4: seven percent from the field in fifty five or fifty

275
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 4: three percent excuse me from three compared to the Clippers,

276
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 4: who just laid dud after dud after dud. So Denver

277
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:29,679
Speaker 4: becomes the first team in NBA history at rally from

278
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 4: three to one back twice in the same postseason, tasks,

279
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:35,960
Speaker 4: only the third team in US major pro sports to

280
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 4: do it.

281
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 2: Do you know the other two?

282
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 4: Putting you on the spot here, these are I didn't

283
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:41,840
Speaker 4: even I had no idea. Maybe I thought you might

284
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 4: get the Baseball one, you know, the Baseball one. No, No,

285
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 4: the eighty five Kansas City Royals. That's why. That's why

286
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:56,320
Speaker 4: I thought you might know that, Brett. And then the

287
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 4: two thousand and three Minnesota Wild did it too.

288
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 5: I remember the Minnesota Wow. Oh sure, yeah. But listen,

289
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:08,439
Speaker 5: it's still even though that happened in game five, in

290
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:11,680
Speaker 5: Game six, where the Clippers decided that they weren't going

291
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:15,680
Speaker 5: to work hard on either end, you just think that

292
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:19,680
Speaker 5: with their backs fully against the wall, flush against the wall,

293
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:23,439
Speaker 5: that even if you're doubling Nikoliokich, that you're gonna scramble

294
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 5: after he gets the ball. But that wasn't happening whatsoever.

295
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:30,679
Speaker 5: And Jamal Murray goes for twenty in the second quarter,

296
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 5: and they come out and Paul George is guarding Gary

297
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 5: Harris for some reason, or guarding Jeremy Grant. It just

298
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:42,199
Speaker 5: didn't make sense. And and then then you try and

299
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:44,840
Speaker 5: start putting two together that they're you know, they're they're

300
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 5: falling apart. Defensively, they're falling apart. On the other end,

301
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 5: the Knights are getting any shot they want. The Clippers

302
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:52,439
Speaker 5: are just trying to get by on talent alone, and

303
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:56,560
Speaker 5: I thought that would be enough. And the line afterwards

304
00:13:56,679 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 5: was from Doc Rivers conditioning and continuity. Okay, maybe conditioning

305
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 5: because Paul George is not guarding the guy that they

306
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:07,440
Speaker 5: that he did shut down for periods during this series.

307
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 5: But I mean, I don't buy the conditioning thing. Some

308
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 5: guys were in and out of the bubble, Montres Harrell

309
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 5: and Lou Williams went to see loved ones who passed away.

310
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 5: But Paul George was there the whole time, Kawhi Leonard

311
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 5: was there the whole time. A bunch of these guys

312
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 5: were there the whole time, and they're pretty deep team.

313
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 5: I don't buy the conditioning thing, the continuity thing. Sure

314
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 5: they're getting down and not being able to fight back

315
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 5: because they you know, Paul George and Kawhi Leonard only

316
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 5: played thirty two games together. Can does this prove that

317
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 5: you can't buy a championship, even if even if it

318
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 5: has happened before. Kawhi Leonard played one season with the Raptors,

319
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 5: but he was part of a team that was already

320
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:49,800
Speaker 5: kicking butt and he played a lot of the time.

321
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 5: These guys didn't play a lot of minutes together. But

322
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 5: still that doesn't it doesn't give an excuse for a

323
00:14:56,560 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 5: lack of effort. And so, yeah, the Nuggets kept showing

324
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 5: it down their throat and for some reason the Clippers

325
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 5: couldn't respond by scrambling. I would I just wanted to

326
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 5: see some scrambling. Yeah, Polto was gonna put off the

327
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 5: side of the backboard. He did not perform in the

328
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 5: fourth quarter. Kawi leanderd did not perform in the fourth quarter.

329
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 5: Those guys didn't score it for again point in the

330
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 5: fourth quarter of Game seven. But if you're not fighting

331
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 5: on defense, I mean, that just speaks to something larger

332
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 5: than conditioning and continuity. That just speaks to something in

333
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 5: that locker room where these guys didn't believe in each other,

334
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 5: didn't didn't think they were gonna win. That was just

335
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 5: that was strange.

336
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 4: Or that is the problem. They thought they were going

337
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 4: to win because they just had the talent. I mean, yeah,

338
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 4: the continuity, the chemistry, whatever you want to call it.

339
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 4: It look, I think it's a real thing in basketball.

340
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 4: I think it helps having reps and going through it.

341
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 4: And you're right, the regular season, the normal regular season,

342
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 4: you know, injuries and load management and then of course,

343
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 4: like you pointed out tassing the bubble guys having to leave, Yeah,

344
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:52,280
Speaker 4: that reared its ugly head.

345
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's the best players didn't have to leave.

346
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 4: No, No, you're right, No, you're right.

347
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 2: And honestly, I felt like that meme of the guy

348
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:00,760
Speaker 2: pointing to his head with that Doc Rivers quote, I

349
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 2: was like, you won't get tired in a game seven

350
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 2: if it doesn't go to a game seven. You could

351
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 2: have won this in five. Yeah, right there for the win.

352
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 2: And Will Barton didn't play at all for the Nuggets.

353
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 2: They were missing a starter for the entirety of the series.

354
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 2: You shouldn't be complaining about conditioning. You shouldn't come out

355
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 2: and say that this wasn't a win or bust season

356
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 2: for you. It feels like Paul George thinks the Clippers

357
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 2: can still take the Nuggets in nine.

358
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 4: Here yeah, yeah, like some chances. Well yeah, and this

359
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 4: is like, especially when you stack this up against this

360
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 4: sort of attitude, I guess I saw Zilla write about this,

361
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 4: and others have pointed it out. The marketing campaign for

362
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 4: the Clippers this year was all about what you're saying,

363
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 4: tasks that you wanted to see in Game seven being gritty,

364
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 4: hard working or the dogs. Oh, the Lakers, they're showtime.

365
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 4: You know. They basically, you know, bought that team so

366
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 4: to speak, and put that all glitz and glamour. No,

367
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 4: we got the lunch pail and the hard hat. We

368
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 4: go to work. Well, that was the ironic part here, right,

369
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:55,560
Speaker 4: They weren't that at all. And if anything, you could

370
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 4: say the Lakers are more that with the way they

371
00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 4: play defense, which is pretty funny. And that's so glaring

372
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 4: to me.

373
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 2: It's like, you.

374
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 4: Guys pretended you were this and by the way you

375
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:08,119
Speaker 4: were that. You were that last year before Kawhi and

376
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:09,720
Speaker 4: Paul George when you were putting up you know, you

377
00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 4: were sort of you were the underdog. You're putting up

378
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:13,119
Speaker 4: a fight in the first round versus the Warriors and

379
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 4: stuff like that. But they weren't in all this and

380
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 4: there is I mean again, there's no doubt you're saying,

381
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:20,200
Speaker 4: like you said, Tredy, like the Paul George quotes, there

382
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:22,600
Speaker 4: is a sense of entitlement to these guys, at least

383
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:25,399
Speaker 4: him just I think it translates across the team and

384
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:27,640
Speaker 4: maybe Kahi just doesn't say anything. And we've talked about

385
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 4: that before.

386
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 2: That's a huge problem for me. Look at the different

387
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:33,240
Speaker 2: look at the difference in these situations for Kawhi Leonard.

388
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 2: We even't heard Doc Rivers saying it during the season.

389
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:38,879
Speaker 2: He's like, we won nothing last year. They lost the

390
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:40,680
Speaker 2: first round series last year, and that was the first

391
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:43,119
Speaker 2: time that this group of Clippers had been to the playoffs.

392
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 2: But the entirety of this season, they acted like they

393
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:48,199
Speaker 2: won the championship because Kawhi won a championship last year.

394
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:50,440
Speaker 2: Whereas the Raptors, they got a guy like Kyle Lowry

395
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:53,720
Speaker 2: who had been to conference finals and you know, suffered

396
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:57,359
Speaker 2: playoff failures, who had time and time again coming up short.

397
00:17:57,520 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 2: They know what it takes to win, to or to

398
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,880
Speaker 2: at least get close and lose. And you didn't see

399
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:05,160
Speaker 2: that from anybody on the Clippers. They were just trying

400
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 2: to do it themselves and it wasn't working. That fourth

401
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 2: quarter from Kawhi Leonard very weird, very weird. It was

402
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 2: like he disappeared. When have you seen Kawhi Leonard disappear

403
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 2: in a basketball game. I forgot he was out there.

404
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:19,879
Speaker 4: It was shocking six or twenty two Kawhi in a

405
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:23,120
Speaker 4: must win game, and yeah, I mean, look.

406
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 2: Was passing it off, going and standing in the corner.

407
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 4: I know, I know, yeah, I don't know what were

408
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 4: we gonna add the.

409
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 6: Early Well, just so Kawhi Leonard actually had two bad

410
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:32,480
Speaker 6: games in this series, which is something that we don't

411
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:34,480
Speaker 6: see from him. In Game two and their loss as well,

412
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:37,879
Speaker 6: it was four to seventeen, had thirteen thirteen points, and

413
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:40,160
Speaker 6: you know, that's that's a shock. We used to Kawhi

414
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 6: Leonard delivering on the big stage, you know, because he's

415
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:44,960
Speaker 6: done it for so long. We were talking earlier about how,

416
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:47,400
Speaker 6: you know, that mid range game he had this season

417
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:49,440
Speaker 6: in the playoffs, he was shooting nearly eighty percent on

418
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:51,240
Speaker 6: those shots. But he just didn't even really seem to

419
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:54,120
Speaker 6: go to that last night, which was which is really surprised.

420
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:56,920
Speaker 6: And again, you know, Kawhi has delivered so many times

421
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:58,639
Speaker 6: in the past that you just thought of Game seven,

422
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:01,159
Speaker 6: he was going to be locked in and what was it.

423
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 6: I think against this Warriors last year we had forty

424
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 6: shots in that Game five that they ended up losing.

425
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:08,600
Speaker 6: But it was more that approach that he was like,

426
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:10,639
Speaker 6: I'm going to do it all for my team tonight.

427
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 3: But last night it was.

428
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 6: Just like, oh, like I just kept waiting for them

429
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 6: to at least throw a punch back at the Nuggets

430
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:19,720
Speaker 6: in that fourth quarter. I just waited for something, and

431
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:22,480
Speaker 6: it was like they all kind of were expecting everybody

432
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:25,480
Speaker 6: else to do it, and no one did. And I mean,

433
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:28,679
Speaker 6: just a really, really miserable end to a season that

434
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 6: held so much promise. So many people had the Clippers,

435
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:33,479
Speaker 6: no not just making the finals, winning the championship this year,

436
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:35,360
Speaker 6: and now they don't even make it the conference finals.

437
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:38,679
Speaker 5: Yeah, they didn't believe in each other obviously, because they

438
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 5: didn't show up to the fight. Really. I mean, they

439
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:45,160
Speaker 5: had a good first quarter, but this fifteen point deficit,

440
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:47,959
Speaker 5: the fifteen point loss, is actually a lot closer than

441
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:49,679
Speaker 5: it was when it comes down to it. I mean,

442
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 5: it couldn't score in the fourth quarter of a playoff game.

443
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:55,800
Speaker 5: He's had fifteen points in that fourth quarter, but nine

444
00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:58,400
Speaker 5: of them were in serious garbage time. In the last

445
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 5: couple of minutes. They scored six points when it was

446
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 5: money time. And it wasn't Leonard and it wasn't Paul George,

447
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 5: it was other guys. And Leonard was getting to his shot,

448
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 5: getting to his he was shooting from mid range. He

449
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 5: was just coming up short, and I guess if there's

450
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:17,160
Speaker 5: some conditioning thing, I mean, I'm not buying that excuse.

451
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:19,080
Speaker 5: I just I just don't get it. They're not flying anywhere,

452
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 5: they're playing every second day. They had a three month hiatus.

453
00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:25,960
Speaker 5: Like I know, one team can be, you know, a

454
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:27,920
Speaker 5: little bit better conditioned than the others. But I think

455
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 5: it's just you didn't play enough together. You didn't believe

456
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:33,240
Speaker 5: in each other. You're not a team, you're not playing

457
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:35,639
Speaker 5: on a string, you're not bros. There's something going on

458
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:37,600
Speaker 5: in that locker room where they don't believe in each other.

459
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:42,360
Speaker 5: And it's not conditioning. But yeah, the continuity thing. Yeah, basketball,

460
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:45,639
Speaker 5: obviously you need to play together a little bit. And

461
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:48,440
Speaker 5: I thought they'd had enough talent though to just get by.

462
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:51,520
Speaker 5: It sure seemed like that. But if your guys don't

463
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 5: show up, because Pultro's played decent in this series oft times,

464
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:57,920
Speaker 5: Kawai obviously played really well in this series at times,

465
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 5: but why you don't let.

466
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:02,359
Speaker 4: It go to a game seven?

467
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 6: Yeah, the continuity thing and conditioning just doesn't mean anything

468
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:07,320
Speaker 6: to me. When they're three one up and they were

469
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:09,440
Speaker 6: up fifteen points or whatever it was in Game five.

470
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 6: I mean, you can't all of a sudden after Game

471
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:14,200
Speaker 6: seven say yeah we struggled with out continuity and conditioning.

472
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:16,920
Speaker 6: It's like, how could that possibly be the case when

473
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 6: you were so close to winning this series?

474
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 3: You just collapse. That's what happened.

475
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:23,120
Speaker 6: They collapsed and one day, once they got put under pressure,

476
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:26,960
Speaker 6: they just did not respond. And that's the that's ultimately

477
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:29,360
Speaker 6: what happened in this series. They were cruising along, thought

478
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:31,680
Speaker 6: they were home. All of a sudden, Denver fights back

479
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:34,119
Speaker 6: and the Clippers just fell in a hole. And it

480
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:37,680
Speaker 6: had nothing to do with conditioning or continuity or anything,

481
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:40,480
Speaker 6: because that was all fine for the first four games.

482
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:42,960
Speaker 5: And when you said when you talk about adversity, I

483
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 5: think that has to do with continuity, like knowing each other,

484
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 5: having the conditioning. Okay, we're playing the C and C

485
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:52,439
Speaker 5: Music Factory here at CNC Music Factory was fake. We

486
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 5: all know that they had a fake singer C and C.

487
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:56,480
Speaker 5: But conditioning.

488
00:21:57,800 --> 00:21:58,800
Speaker 3: Wasn't that Milli Vanilli.

489
00:21:58,920 --> 00:21:59,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, they've done.

490
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:02,320
Speaker 5: Too, seniors factor. They threw in a singer there that

491
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 5: was not real as well. Yeah, they had the singer

492
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:08,159
Speaker 5: this the guys who did they're real. But then they

493
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:10,439
Speaker 5: had a singer that was totally fake and Doc Rivers

494
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 5: he faked us out the conditioning bogus.

495
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's meet.

496
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:20,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think I think that's just just having fought

497
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:23,480
Speaker 5: with each other, like Paul George did fight for many

498
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:27,359
Speaker 5: series in his playoff career. He's he's I know, we

499
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 5: can talk about a circumstantial superstar like Trey likes to

500
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 5: call him. Uh, but he has been part of good

501
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 5: teams before, so we all expected things to just turn around.

502
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:40,719
Speaker 5: But yeah, the uh, the entitlement that not playing together,

503
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 5: the hey, we're just gonna win this thing was obviously

504
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:46,359
Speaker 5: very true. They just they weren't scrappers, even though they

505
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 5: went and got a scrapper and Marcus Morris and they

506
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:52,160
Speaker 5: had Patrick Beverley on their roster who was not very

507
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 5: good in the second half. Yeah, everybody was. Jamichael Green

508
00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 5: was their freaking star. And if you don't know who

509
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:01,919
Speaker 5: Jamichael Green is, that's understandable. We didn't talk about him

510
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:04,600
Speaker 5: once in the playoff preview because he's probably their eleventh man,

511
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:07,679
Speaker 5: but they went to him. They didn't have fight. It

512
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:11,560
Speaker 5: was that was that was strange. Anyways, Nuggets are good.

513
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:13,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I know the Nuggets are really cool. When

514
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:16,840
Speaker 4: that like that avalanche that snowball gets going, and that's

515
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:18,160
Speaker 4: what happened in this one again.

516
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:18,760
Speaker 5: Uh.

517
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 4: And a big part of it is like just their

518
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:22,439
Speaker 4: two stars and then they start getting some stops and

519
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:23,720
Speaker 4: they're going the other way and it's like.

520
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 2: Oh, well, we're right back in this guys.

521
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:29,480
Speaker 4: And uh, you know, MIKEE. Malone, Mike Malone, I never

522
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:31,520
Speaker 4: know what to call it, and I go back and forth.

523
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 4: I want to call coach Malone, I go Michael, and

524
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 4: I go Mike sometimes, but man, he does have that

525
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:39,680
Speaker 4: great like you know, I'm an underdog story and we're

526
00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 4: all underdogs and this is great. And I know Nuggets

527
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:45,800
Speaker 4: fans today are on cloud night. You should be. Nobody

528
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:48,679
Speaker 4: picked them to win. Everybody was doubting them, especially when

529
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:50,840
Speaker 4: they're down three to one again, and I was like, wow,

530
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 4: that's a wrap.

531
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:53,960
Speaker 2: Just keep that energy.

532
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:56,560
Speaker 4: You can be upset with everybody, but you want them

533
00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 4: to all pick the Lakers and we're going to get

534
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:01,080
Speaker 4: to our Western Conference finals. Preview and predictions on tomorrow's podcast.

535
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:04,520
Speaker 4: But don't freak out when everybody goes, sorry, it's gonna

536
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 4: be Lakers in five, gonna be maybe Lakers in six.

537
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:09,840
Speaker 4: That's what you want. You want to hear that, that's

538
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:12,400
Speaker 4: what they want to hear. Like, you don't want everybody

539
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:14,520
Speaker 4: suddenly believing in the Nuggets going to the finals. So

540
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 4: just like, don't get too upset, Just like, just have

541
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:20,640
Speaker 4: fun with it. Again, speaking from experience as a Raptors

542
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:23,119
Speaker 4: fan who finally did have success when Kawi was on

543
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:24,880
Speaker 4: the team. That's what was so jarring about last night.

544
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:25,120
Speaker 2: There.

545
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:27,720
Speaker 4: You want that, you want everybody saying, now the Bucks

546
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:29,560
Speaker 4: are gonna beat them out, the Warriors are gonna beat them.

547
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 4: That was a nice little run. That's what you want.

548
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 4: So I just want to get that out there. But

549
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:34,880
Speaker 4: I'm happy for them. You know, we called them hummus,

550
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 4: and now the hummus went from Look, hummas was the

551
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:40,480
Speaker 4: appetizer that Lee didn't really want anything to do with.

552
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:42,760
Speaker 4: Then it was the main course. Now I think we've

553
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:46,159
Speaker 4: opened up an entire hummus restaurant. Every every recipe is

554
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:46,840
Speaker 4: just hummus.

555
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:49,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm just glad I said hummus and not something

556
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:53,159
Speaker 6: that I didn't like it right right, I like hummus.

557
00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 6: It's just like I said, I wanted to go to

558
00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:57,360
Speaker 6: a restaurant and I said, Hummus is my mind cool.

559
00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:00,520
Speaker 2: Right, you gotta eat hummus until the nu Gets are

560
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:03,399
Speaker 2: eliminated from the playoffs. We might we might be et

561
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 2: hummus for two weeks straight at this point.

562
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 3: Man, Man, what is that they win the championship? Then

563
00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:08,480
Speaker 3: I have to wait it forever.

564
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:13,359
Speaker 4: Champagne hummus in the just pouring hummus on your face.

565
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:16,439
Speaker 4: So we will, like I said, we will get to

566
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:18,359
Speaker 4: talking more about them, uguess. Don't you worry when we

567
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 4: talk about the Lakers series. We'll do that on tomorrow's podcast,

568
00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 4: on Thursday's podcast. Just with the Clippers though, tasks like

569
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:26,479
Speaker 4: moving forward here. I mean, they're pretty locked into what

570
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:28,400
Speaker 4: they have now. I know they're guys, their star guys

571
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 4: are not under contract for a long time in Paul

572
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:32,720
Speaker 4: Jordan and Kawi Leonard. You know, there are some opt

573
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 4: outs not too far around the corner. But they've traded

574
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:37,840
Speaker 4: all these picks, right, I mean a million picks they

575
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:40,960
Speaker 4: traded for this sort of roster, and they've got, you know,

576
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:44,119
Speaker 4: re signed potential guys and free agents like Harrold and

577
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 4: Morris and maybe Jamichael Green. Are they just gonna be

578
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:49,159
Speaker 4: the same team here? And we just got to hope

579
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:52,359
Speaker 4: that you know, maybe this was a good thing for

580
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:55,200
Speaker 4: the big picture, like that they sort of got humiliated here.

581
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 4: Thought they were the champs walking around with the cool coat.

582
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:00,920
Speaker 4: But in the end everyone's like that it sucks behind

583
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:03,520
Speaker 4: their back. That was a strange analogy, But.

584
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 5: I thought you're being little For a sec. Were they

585
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,040
Speaker 5: walking around with coats in Orlando?

586
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:11,919
Speaker 4: I think it's getting cold here in Atlanta. I think

587
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:13,360
Speaker 4: that's why I got coats on my mind. But yeah,

588
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:14,960
Speaker 4: why do you think they too? Moving forward?

589
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:15,160
Speaker 2: Here?

590
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 5: They get matching letterman jackets. They rocket next year. We

591
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:23,880
Speaker 5: have spent so much time on this Clippers team. They

592
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 5: don't deserve more words. I expected them. I expected them

593
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:30,000
Speaker 5: to be I expected them in the Commerce Final, expected

594
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:34,240
Speaker 5: their lack of continuity not to hurt them this much

595
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:37,240
Speaker 5: this early. But the Nuggets were too good. And that's

596
00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:38,680
Speaker 5: all they're going to bank on for next year is

597
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:40,639
Speaker 5: they're going to go into this season with the exact

598
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:43,280
Speaker 5: same team, and they should be happy about that. They've

599
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:46,640
Speaker 5: they're lucky to go get Marcus Morris at the deadline

600
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:50,119
Speaker 5: and get another starter, and unfortunately Reggie Jackson couldn't make

601
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:53,840
Speaker 5: it to October to be the new Mister October you.

602
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 2: Got a little taste last night.

603
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:59,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, and maybe Landry shamit would have really helpful. He

604
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:00,879
Speaker 5: didn't hurt his ankle. I don't know. It seemed like

605
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:03,800
Speaker 5: all the other the peripheral guys were actually doing something

606
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:05,680
Speaker 5: out there. But they're gonna have the same team. Yeah,

607
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:09,480
Speaker 5: they mortgaged their future, and every single executive before this

608
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:12,360
Speaker 5: season said I would have done the exact same thing

609
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:15,560
Speaker 5: to get a couple of years of Paul George and

610
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:19,160
Speaker 5: Kawi Leonard. But yeah, they've given up all their picks

611
00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 5: o case. He got all the picks and the.

612
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:22,280
Speaker 3: Pick swaps as well.

613
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:25,919
Speaker 6: I mean, you know, seeing the Rockets go out just

614
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:28,040
Speaker 6: last week and now seeing the Clippers go out and

615
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:31,160
Speaker 6: Sam Presty's basically got all their picks from all those teams,

616
00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 6: Like it's just hilarious. But you know, you point out

617
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:36,080
Speaker 6: how the executives said that they would all do it,

618
00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:38,919
Speaker 6: and again that I think was largely because of the

619
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:42,439
Speaker 6: fact that Messiah Yeri traded away to Marta Rosen and

620
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:44,640
Speaker 6: a pick to get Kawi even for that one year,

621
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:46,560
Speaker 6: because it'd be worth it if you win the championship.

622
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:48,720
Speaker 3: And this is when it sort of doesn't work for you. Yeah,

623
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 3: you know, so like.

624
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:51,560
Speaker 6: Again, we knew it was going to be a risk

625
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:53,400
Speaker 6: and someone was going to miss out on the championship

626
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:55,359
Speaker 6: this year, you know, the Lakers winning all in as well,

627
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:58,960
Speaker 6: and the Rockets too, but it just shows that, like

628
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:02,920
Speaker 6: the Raptors go, so, you know, fortunate, lucky, whatever you want,

629
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:06,200
Speaker 6: but to win that championship by going in and mortgaging

630
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:09,320
Speaker 6: not completely their future, but certainly giving away, you know,

631
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:13,880
Speaker 6: a historic favorable player of the franchise and a draft pick.

632
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:16,120
Speaker 6: And it worked for them, but that sort of made

633
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:17,879
Speaker 6: other teams believe, well, we have to do that if

634
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:20,159
Speaker 6: we're going to win the championship and a couple of

635
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:20,960
Speaker 6: them come up short.

636
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:23,159
Speaker 4: Well, Trey, I mean, maybe this is good. If Doc

637
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:24,840
Speaker 4: Rivers are still there coaching the team, You've got the

638
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 4: richest owner in the NBA in Bomber. You would imagine

639
00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:30,240
Speaker 4: he's not going to be worried about luxury tax and

640
00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:32,840
Speaker 4: adding more money if possible and stuff like that, trying

641
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:35,400
Speaker 4: to bolster the roster and make decisions. But if Doc

642
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:38,360
Speaker 4: Rivers are saying, hey, we need more conditioning, well, okay,

643
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:39,959
Speaker 4: now you got a lot of time to get into that,

644
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:42,520
Speaker 4: and you can build your chemistry and your continuity sort

645
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:45,560
Speaker 4: of hand in hand there. You know, should we hopefully

646
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 4: be talking about the Clippers next year as a title

647
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 4: contender and again that this is a good thing or

648
00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 4: I don't know, or you're like, I'm not sure with

649
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 4: the way they are because you kept talking about Kawhi

650
00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 4: as your leader. It's a different type of leader and

651
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:00,800
Speaker 4: maybe you need a more vocal And then we know

652
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:03,440
Speaker 4: how you feel about Paul George sort of shrinking in

653
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:05,000
Speaker 4: the big moments. But what do you think for the

654
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:06,520
Speaker 4: Clips moving into the next season.

655
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:08,760
Speaker 2: I mean, we'll see if they can move Paul George

656
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 2: for a reliable number two option. You can't run a

657
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:13,720
Speaker 2: three and D guy out there to be your number

658
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:17,640
Speaker 2: two guy. That doesn't make any sense. How in the

659
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:19,800
Speaker 2: world is this possibly a good thing for the Clippers?

660
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:22,720
Speaker 2: This was supposed to be their year. But you know, honestly,

661
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 2: still a great season for the Clippers. This is the

662
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:26,840
Speaker 2: farthest they've ever gone Game seven in a cop in

663
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:29,000
Speaker 2: the second round, So they should still be happy, and

664
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:31,280
Speaker 2: they're still going to be a contender next year. You know,

665
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:34,880
Speaker 2: Kawhi still a great player. He still does have two championships,

666
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:37,960
Speaker 2: two finals, MVPs. Paul George a great player in the

667
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:41,200
Speaker 2: regular season. He'll help them get some wins, you know,

668
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:43,480
Speaker 2: getting the top four in the Western Conference. They just

669
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:46,880
Speaker 2: gotta go through some setbacks, and honestly, that is what

670
00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:49,720
Speaker 2: every team hap happens for basically every team. You can

671
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:52,320
Speaker 2: call the Lakers setback last year not making the playoffs.

672
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:54,240
Speaker 2: I don't know if they're gonna have a set back eventually,

673
00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:57,480
Speaker 2: but it's not uncommon for a super team to form

674
00:29:57,760 --> 00:29:59,600
Speaker 2: and not win in their first year. They tend to

675
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:02,480
Speaker 2: get better as as time goes on, because you know,

676
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:04,400
Speaker 2: they'll pick up a couple of ring chase and vets

677
00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:04,920
Speaker 2: here and there.

678
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:06,200
Speaker 5: But I don't know.

679
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:09,480
Speaker 2: I was just I was just screaming at the top

680
00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:13,320
Speaker 2: of my lungs, laughing when Paul George breake a three

681
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 2: off the side of the backboard. After seeing Jimmy Butler

682
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:20,240
Speaker 2: light things on fire for the Miami Heat, I was

683
00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:22,240
Speaker 2: feeling great, but I was also a little bit sad.

684
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:24,400
Speaker 2: It was a bittersweet moment for me knowing that last

685
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 2: night and today were my last days as a Paul

686
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:29,520
Speaker 2: George hater. Because the book has been written, it's over,

687
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:32,600
Speaker 2: the debate is over, so you know, Chris Paul Good

688
00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:35,760
Speaker 2: in my book, Paul George during the twenty twenty one season,

689
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:38,960
Speaker 2: Good in my book. But please never bring up a

690
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:40,320
Speaker 2: Paul George playoff moment to me.

691
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:43,040
Speaker 4: Oh wow, yeah, never, come on.

692
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 6: Not only did he hit one off the side of

693
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:47,080
Speaker 6: the backboard, he basically add boled one from the other

694
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:47,760
Speaker 6: side as well.

695
00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:50,640
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, he was off last night.

696
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:52,640
Speaker 2: But at least he was shooting it, you know, yeah,

697
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:54,760
Speaker 2: at least he was shooting it. Can't the same can't

698
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 2: be said for Kawhi Leonard, who didn't take a shot

699
00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:57,640
Speaker 2: for the last four minutes.

700
00:30:57,680 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 4: So I want to ask Tass this because you're a

701
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:03,200
Speaker 4: Raptor's face and Raptors fans on Twitter, we're loving this

702
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:06,640
Speaker 4: sort of Kawhi, you know, melt down, the Clippers falling

703
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:10,000
Speaker 4: apart here. What's your take on this whole? Are you pumped?

704
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:14,000
Speaker 4: Are you excited to see this? This guy's struggling here

705
00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:17,240
Speaker 4: on the Clippers. The point being like, yeah, we talked

706
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:19,840
Speaker 4: a lot about Kawhi instrumental in the Raptors Championship, but

707
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:22,560
Speaker 4: by the way, you know, they only win that because

708
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:24,680
Speaker 4: they also have a damn good team that Massa Juri

709
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:26,560
Speaker 4: put together and all these vets that they get and

710
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:28,600
Speaker 4: gasol added and stuff like that. Like, what was your

711
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:32,200
Speaker 4: take on people, especially Raptors fans loving Kawhi struggling.

712
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:37,280
Speaker 5: Well, yeah, I went to bed thinking the Internet is mean,

713
00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:40,440
Speaker 5: but also also enjoying it at the same time, and

714
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 5: waking up to Damian Lillard and c J McCollum going

715
00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:46,600
Speaker 5: right at Patrick Beverley because they had that moment in

716
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 5: the bubble. So this is what Twitter was made for,

717
00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:56,200
Speaker 5: these pettiness. Yeah, these verbal abusive moments. For sure. It

718
00:31:56,240 --> 00:32:00,480
Speaker 5: doesn't make me feel any different. The fact is Kawhi

719
00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:04,240
Speaker 5: joined the team, they played a whole season together, and yeah,

720
00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 5: they come out and win. I don't think it really

721
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:10,960
Speaker 5: legitimizes their championship anymore that they were a really good

722
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:14,960
Speaker 5: team without him, and he came along and they were good.

723
00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 5: They definitely had an advantage over this Clippers team, which

724
00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 5: also was a good unit, but they didn't play enough together.

725
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:24,640
Speaker 5: They played thirty two games together, Paul George and Kawhi

726
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:27,640
Speaker 5: Leonard did coming into the bubble. It's not a lot

727
00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 5: and there's a lot of guys in and out of

728
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:31,600
Speaker 5: the lineup. I don't know, it just didn't affect me whatsoever. Really,

729
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:33,560
Speaker 5: I mean, I'm not. Yeah, there's a lot of Tom

730
00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:36,520
Speaker 5: Petty in this situation. I just don't care.

731
00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 4: Really, Yeah, get your jokes off, Raptors fans, But you

732
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:41,920
Speaker 4: also know, deep down in your heart, they never win

733
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:44,560
Speaker 4: the title without Kawhi Leonard there. If you watched any

734
00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:46,760
Speaker 4: of those games from any of those series, it's just

735
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:49,040
Speaker 4: a fact. That doesn't mean the Raptors players. All the

736
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:53,320
Speaker 4: other guys, Kyle Lowry especially are damn important and instrumental

737
00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:56,239
Speaker 4: in that title as well. Both can be true, but

738
00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:59,320
Speaker 4: they the Raptors don't win without him there. That's fine,

739
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:02,000
Speaker 4: but get your jokes off anyway, that's part of the fun.

740
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:05,880
Speaker 4: I goodness, I can't believe they lost. I can't believe it.

741
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:09,040
Speaker 4: I mean again, I was tweeting last week or earlier whatever,

742
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:11,480
Speaker 4: I can't keep track anymore. Oh yeah, we're gonna get

743
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:13,720
Speaker 4: Lakers Clippers. I mean, twenty twenty suck, but at least

744
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 4: we're gonna get that. That should be fun. And uh

745
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:18,480
Speaker 4: Nuggets spoil the party dropping hummus on my head.

746
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:21,120
Speaker 3: I got slimmed you and Magic Johnson with tweeting about

747
00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:22,080
Speaker 3: the conference finals too.

748
00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:25,760
Speaker 4: Oh look, look, I mean yeah, you know, they had

749
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:27,600
Speaker 4: proven up unto that point they were the better team.

750
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:30,640
Speaker 4: The Nuggets had obviously gone through a war already against

751
00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 4: the Jazz, and you're like, Okay, you know, now Jamal

752
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:35,880
Speaker 4: Murray's got to play against guys that are gonna actually

753
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:38,000
Speaker 4: bottle him up, so to speak. You're not gonna go

754
00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:41,520
Speaker 4: for fifty every night. And uh, you know, I just

755
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:43,880
Speaker 4: didn't expect Yo kich Anne Murray for at least good

756
00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:45,440
Speaker 4: chunks of this series, or at least in a Game seven,

757
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:46,960
Speaker 4: to be the best players out there when Kawhi and

758
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:48,600
Speaker 4: Paul George are out there. I mean, it's just like

759
00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:51,640
Speaker 4: we talked about, it was. It was glaring how much

760
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:54,360
Speaker 4: better they were in this uh pressure pack situation. But

761
00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:57,360
Speaker 4: they also had the ability to be like, no one's

762
00:33:57,400 --> 00:33:59,400
Speaker 4: picking us, so they could play a little more loose

763
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:03,120
Speaker 4: and get that no ball going. So congrats to the Nuggets,

764
00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:05,000
Speaker 4: Congrats to their fan. That's pretty special, going back to

765
00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:06,640
Speaker 4: the conference finals for the first time since what two

766
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:09,640
Speaker 4: thousand and nine when they played the Lakers. Right, yeah, yeah,

767
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:11,840
Speaker 4: so here we go again again. We'll get to that

768
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:12,600
Speaker 4: preview on Thursday.

769
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:12,879
Speaker 2: Sorry.

770
00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:14,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's just kind of nice just to know that

771
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:18,200
Speaker 5: you don't win championships on paper. Really, you still have

772
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:20,640
Speaker 5: to watch the games. You can't just have five guys

773
00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:23,759
Speaker 5: be penciled in and and look at that lineup and say,

774
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:26,640
Speaker 5: what's nice. Six Man of the Year former six man

775
00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:28,799
Speaker 5: in the year of a lot of stars here.

776
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:30,960
Speaker 4: Even if we all do it, we're all guilty of it.

777
00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:35,400
Speaker 5: We actually the pen out, especially after what the Raptors

778
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:40,040
Speaker 5: did last year. But yeah, I just yeah, there definitely

779
00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:44,000
Speaker 5: was a lack of conditioning, no continuity, right right, right,

780
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:47,200
Speaker 5: not just scary, I'm just skidding. Yeah, I mean the

781
00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:51,279
Speaker 5: good joke was out there that Kawhi didn't need a

782
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:53,399
Speaker 5: doc rivers, he needed a nurse.

783
00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:58,080
Speaker 4: No, yes, nurses, but the hospital nurses run the hospital, tass.

784
00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:00,359
Speaker 5: That's absolutely right, that is very true.

785
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:03,400
Speaker 2: Actually, you guys think there's gonna be any buzz about

786
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:06,880
Speaker 2: Doc's job, I assume no. I just assume no. He's

787
00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:11,680
Speaker 2: established as a Clippers guy. But the resume, come on, Yeah,

788
00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:14,920
Speaker 2: eight game seven losses, that's crazy, that was crazy to

789
00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:15,880
Speaker 2: see that statistic.

790
00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:19,000
Speaker 4: Wow. Yeah, Now he's the only coach ever to give

791
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:22,320
Speaker 4: up three three to one leads. Yeah, in the playoffs

792
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:24,960
Speaker 4: did for the magic and now twice with the Clippers. Yeah,

793
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:27,880
Speaker 4: I don't know. That's a good question, Like willly be gone?

794
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:30,400
Speaker 4: It almost just feels like if he's like over this

795
00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:34,920
Speaker 4: shit and he's like, I don't want anymore. I just

796
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:36,840
Speaker 4: want to go golf, but just leave me alone. I

797
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:38,719
Speaker 4: thought we were just talented enough. I didn't really think

798
00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:40,600
Speaker 4: I had to coach all that much. That's what it

799
00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:42,600
Speaker 4: sort of felt like, if I'm being honest too. In fact,

800
00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:45,200
Speaker 4: the referees were coaching for him in Game seven last night.

801
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:47,239
Speaker 4: They called the time, they were trying to call a

802
00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:48,920
Speaker 4: time out for him when the Nuggets were going on

803
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:51,040
Speaker 4: the run, and it's like, no, it's just standing up

804
00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:57,799
Speaker 4: at Yeah, they don't see that out right, Like you're

805
00:35:57,800 --> 00:35:59,600
Speaker 4: falling apart here again, you're.

806
00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:01,120
Speaker 2: Gonna lose this. Do you want a time out?

807
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:01,400
Speaker 5: No?

808
00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:05,080
Speaker 2: Sure, continue, don't wear a pink polo to Game seven?

809
00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:06,840
Speaker 2: Oh for two so far in the bubble.

829
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:03,640

00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:09,240

00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:17,840
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, no, those guys will accept money from it anywhere.

866
00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:23,799
Speaker 5: Uh Okay, here's a serious agree. Restaurants are such a

867
00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:26,920
Speaker 5: big part of what our neighborhoods are all about. Unfortunately,

868
00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:30,280
Speaker 5: many places are going under and our communities are worse

869
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:34,160
Speaker 5: off for it. But if you have the means, you

870
00:39:34,200 --> 00:39:36,560
Speaker 5: can do your part by giving them some business. Through

871
00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:41,759
Speaker 5: door dash. I go on and grab my local sushi, pizza, hummus.

872
00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:44,560
Speaker 5: I don't grab Homas or even just a bagel, yeah,

873
00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:48,520
Speaker 5: bagel shop. They have everything on door dash, and DoorDash

874
00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:52,879
Speaker 5: is taking extra precautions during these times. DoorDash deliveries are

875
00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:57,520
Speaker 5: now contact lists to make communities even safer. They can

876
00:39:57,560 --> 00:40:00,479
Speaker 5: just drop off your food at the door. You don't

877
00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:03,160
Speaker 5: have to talk to your driver, but I like to

878
00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:06,200
Speaker 5: go out and greet them. They're very friendly. They always

879
00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:08,640
Speaker 5: tell me to enjoy my food. We both wear our

880
00:40:08,719 --> 00:40:12,279
Speaker 5: masks to be safe, keep our distance, extend my arm

881
00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:15,839
Speaker 5: as long as possible, and it's just nice to see

882
00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:19,439
Speaker 5: another human being. They're very nice, very nice. Right now,

891
00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:45,359
Speaker 4: All right, I can't believe that this next game we're

892
00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:48,400
Speaker 4: going to talk about is I don't know forty minutes

893
00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:50,920
Speaker 4: into this podcast, because we did have a game seven

894
00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:53,359
Speaker 4: and a shocking comeback again from the Nuggets. But wow,

895
00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:56,120
Speaker 4: what a game Game one of the Eastern Conference Finals.

896
00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:59,399
Speaker 4: Bam out of bios block helps the Heat to win

897
00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:01,880
Speaker 4: that Game one in overtime versus the Celtics. Was is

898
00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:05,319
Speaker 4: such such a fun watch, so many big plays down

899
00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:08,040
Speaker 4: the stretch, Trey, what was your big takeaway from the

900
00:41:08,080 --> 00:41:08,720
Speaker 4: Heat's victory?

901
00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:08,919
Speaker 5: Here?

902
00:41:09,239 --> 00:41:11,040
Speaker 2: Man, what a night in the bubble That this is

903
00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:14,040
Speaker 2: our second game we're talking about probably the actual game

904
00:41:14,040 --> 00:41:16,960
Speaker 2: of the night. If you're looking at basketball being played,

905
00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:19,319
Speaker 2: it felt like a sequel to Raps versus Celtics. With

906
00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:22,440
Speaker 2: these teams being so well matched. They got pretty good

907
00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:24,719
Speaker 2: depth on both sides. The coaches are great, they got

908
00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:27,480
Speaker 2: versatile approaches. It honestly lived up to the hype. But

909
00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:31,000
Speaker 2: the biggest takeaway for me is Round one in the

910
00:41:31,040 --> 00:41:33,440
Speaker 2: Eastern Conference Finals goes to Jimmy Butler because this came

911
00:41:33,480 --> 00:41:35,520
Speaker 2: down to two plays that Jimmy Butler made and to

912
00:41:35,719 --> 00:41:39,200
Speaker 2: that Jason Tatum didn't. At the end of regulation, Jimmy

913
00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:42,560
Speaker 2: Butler has a crazy three pointer to what I think

914
00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:44,680
Speaker 2: it would put the heat up. I won at that point. Yep.

915
00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:48,400
Speaker 2: The Celtics went down and grifted Marcus Smart somehow draws

916
00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:50,960
Speaker 2: a free throw on an inbounds play ties it up.

917
00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:54,160
Speaker 2: Jason Tatum basically dribbles out the clock and takes a

918
00:41:54,239 --> 00:41:57,960
Speaker 2: twenty seven foot three clank job. Then we go into overtime.

919
00:41:58,320 --> 00:41:59,960
Speaker 2: I don't know if you guys have heard about Jimmy Butler,

920
00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:01,680
Speaker 2: but all he wants to do is work hard and

921
00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:03,560
Speaker 2: be the man. He was the man at the end

922
00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:06,879
Speaker 2: of regulation, and then he decided to work really hard

923
00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:08,800
Speaker 2: at the end of the fourth quarter. I was texting

924
00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:11,239
Speaker 2: with my dad. I was saying, Jimmy Butler would have

925
00:42:11,280 --> 00:42:12,520
Speaker 2: went to the hole if he had the ball. When

926
00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:14,640
Speaker 2: Jason Tatum did there at the end of regulation. Well,

927
00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:16,960
Speaker 2: guess what, Jimmy Butler got a chance. You know what

928
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:19,680
Speaker 2: he did. He went straight to the hole, a tough

929
00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:23,480
Speaker 2: finish and he gets filed, makes the free throw. We

930
00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:25,480
Speaker 2: go back down to the other side. Jason Tatum. He says,

931
00:42:25,520 --> 00:42:28,040
Speaker 2: I'll go to the hole too, but unfortunately for him,

932
00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:32,480
Speaker 2: Bam out of Bio was there, the official basketball player

933
00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:36,120
Speaker 2: of No Dunks last night, shutting down a Jason Tatum

934
00:42:36,160 --> 00:42:39,240
Speaker 2: block dunk right at the rim to win the game.

935
00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:41,960
Speaker 2: The guy has the strongest risk of all time. His

936
00:42:42,080 --> 00:42:46,000
Speaker 2: hand was almost in the hoop holding Jason Tatum's dunk

937
00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:49,719
Speaker 2: ball from going down. An incredible block by Bam. Just

938
00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:53,440
Speaker 2: an awesome game one, What a game this was. Hopefully

939
00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:55,440
Speaker 2: this goes seven. What a fun time this was.

940
00:42:55,560 --> 00:42:57,360
Speaker 4: Oh, it's so good. It's so true. I mean, the

941
00:42:57,360 --> 00:42:59,759
Speaker 4: block is on. I keep looking at photos, I keep

942
00:42:59,800 --> 00:43:03,200
Speaker 4: watch the gifts, watching the video, and every time when

943
00:43:03,680 --> 00:43:06,040
Speaker 4: Tatum starts to take off for the dunk, like to

944
00:43:06,080 --> 00:43:08,640
Speaker 4: hammer the thing hole. I'm like, there's no way Bam

945
00:43:08,719 --> 00:43:10,120
Speaker 4: is still going to get to that, even though I

946
00:43:10,120 --> 00:43:12,400
Speaker 4: know that's what ends up happening in this play. He

947
00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:15,279
Speaker 4: just comes so late and somehow doesn't break his wrist

948
00:43:15,440 --> 00:43:18,359
Speaker 4: in the rim and keeps the ability, keeps the ball

949
00:43:18,360 --> 00:43:20,640
Speaker 4: in play, and also, you know a pretty important part there,

950
00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:22,600
Speaker 4: not just the block where they actually maintain it. So

951
00:43:23,239 --> 00:43:25,240
Speaker 4: it's just done. Really, it's one of the best blocks

952
00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:27,920
Speaker 4: in postseason history. I know when you say that sounds insane,

953
00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:29,919
Speaker 4: but I think it's true. We are in the East

954
00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:32,920
Speaker 4: Finals here, it's a huge game one. Tatum's a rising star.

955
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:34,520
Speaker 4: He's going to dunk the hell out of that thing,

956
00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:36,000
Speaker 4: and Bam says no.

957
00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:38,640
Speaker 6: The end of the game could have been so different

958
00:43:38,640 --> 00:43:40,759
Speaker 6: for Jason Tatum because you mentioned that lay there with

959
00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:43,120
Speaker 6: Jimmy Butler where he got the end one. I actually

960
00:43:43,160 --> 00:43:45,120
Speaker 6: didn't think Tatum found him all that much. There was

961
00:43:45,160 --> 00:43:47,319
Speaker 6: a little bit of contact, but it wasn't egregious faust.

962
00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:49,240
Speaker 6: So Butler gets the call and he gets the basket,

963
00:43:49,280 --> 00:43:51,759
Speaker 6: and then at the other end, Jimmy Butler like he

964
00:43:51,840 --> 00:43:53,799
Speaker 6: kind of comes out and Titum goes right past him

965
00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:55,839
Speaker 6: and has that laying to go in there for the dunk.

966
00:43:55,880 --> 00:43:58,440
Speaker 6: So if he smashes that on Bam, it's a completely

967
00:43:58,480 --> 00:44:00,320
Speaker 6: different story. It's like, look at this dunk over it,

968
00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:03,040
Speaker 6: you know, one of the All NBA defensive players of

969
00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:05,040
Speaker 6: the year that he throws it down, maybe even gets

970
00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:06,960
Speaker 6: foult on that as well. So it was just a

971
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:09,759
Speaker 6: game of inches there for Jason Tatum, and it could

972
00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:11,759
Speaker 6: have been such a different story for him. But yeah,

973
00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:14,760
Speaker 6: phenomenal game and the heat really like because the Celtics

974
00:44:14,760 --> 00:44:15,080
Speaker 6: looked in.

975
00:44:15,040 --> 00:44:15,799
Speaker 3: Control of this game.

976
00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:17,520
Speaker 6: But again, it was in that fourth quarter where they're

977
00:44:17,520 --> 00:44:20,520
Speaker 6: able to just get themselves into that position to at

978
00:44:20,600 --> 00:44:22,880
Speaker 6: least extend the game and then go on and win it.

979
00:44:22,880 --> 00:44:25,160
Speaker 6: And I thought Tyler hero was very, very good last night.

980
00:44:25,200 --> 00:44:27,520
Speaker 6: He made a couple of nice plays, none better maybe

981
00:44:27,560 --> 00:44:30,560
Speaker 6: than that bounce pass in transition to bam Adebayo, which

982
00:44:30,680 --> 00:44:33,239
Speaker 6: was just an incredible play. He you know, we talk

983
00:44:33,280 --> 00:44:37,040
Speaker 6: about Jokic being composed and showing poise for a twenty

984
00:44:37,120 --> 00:44:40,040
Speaker 6: year old guy, Tyler Heroes he does the same out there,

985
00:44:40,080 --> 00:44:42,200
Speaker 6: like he does not look rattled at all. Made a

986
00:44:42,200 --> 00:44:44,280
Speaker 6: couple of nice plays out a beautiful left handed layup.

987
00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:47,160
Speaker 6: So I thought as far as a complimentary piece for

988
00:44:47,280 --> 00:44:49,120
Speaker 6: the heat. He was very good last night. But they

989
00:44:49,160 --> 00:44:52,759
Speaker 6: got their contributions from out of their main players. You know,

990
00:44:52,840 --> 00:44:56,359
Speaker 6: Dragis was fantastic, Jay Crowder was still hitting threes out there,

991
00:44:56,480 --> 00:44:59,719
Speaker 6: and of course Jimmy, who didn't have a huge statistical game,

992
00:44:59,760 --> 00:45:02,440
Speaker 6: but he he stepped up when it counted closer.

993
00:45:02,520 --> 00:45:05,719
Speaker 4: Man, he just drove through Tatum. Yeah, and you're right,

994
00:45:05,760 --> 00:45:08,640
Speaker 4: Tatum played that really well. I mean, you can't play

995
00:45:08,640 --> 00:45:10,960
Speaker 4: it much better. And you know there was contact, but

996
00:45:11,040 --> 00:45:15,400
Speaker 4: Jimmy forced the contact. That barrel is incredible, and at.

997
00:45:15,239 --> 00:45:17,480
Speaker 6: That stage of the game, you know it was like

998
00:45:17,640 --> 00:45:20,840
Speaker 6: that's that's contact was like sort of just good, hard

999
00:45:20,920 --> 00:45:23,600
Speaker 6: defensive contact. I didn't think it was like, oh well

1000
00:45:23,600 --> 00:45:25,640
Speaker 6: that's that's clearly a fact because he sort of rises

1001
00:45:25,719 --> 00:45:28,080
Speaker 6: up and you know, their arms get tangled anyway. Besides

1002
00:45:28,200 --> 00:45:32,280
Speaker 6: Jimmy not settling exactly, that's a jumper exactly, like.

1003
00:45:32,560 --> 00:45:34,600
Speaker 4: He's going to go and put the pressure on either

1004
00:45:34,640 --> 00:45:36,399
Speaker 4: of the officials to make the call or just score

1005
00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:38,960
Speaker 4: the damn basket, powering through. Fortunately on that one he

1006
00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:39,600
Speaker 4: got both of them.

1007
00:45:39,640 --> 00:45:40,680
Speaker 3: Test Yeah.

1008
00:45:40,840 --> 00:45:43,319
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'll just comment quickly on the band think because

1009
00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:45,720
Speaker 5: I can't stop thinking about it as well, it looked

1010
00:45:45,719 --> 00:45:47,799
Speaker 5: like he was delivering a pizza with door dash with

1011
00:45:47,840 --> 00:45:51,439
Speaker 5: how his hand was like it was in the rim

1012
00:45:51,640 --> 00:45:53,440
Speaker 5: and he pulled it out. I mean, this is the

1013
00:45:53,480 --> 00:45:57,320
Speaker 5: big difference between the heat uh and you know, playing

1014
00:45:57,360 --> 00:46:00,680
Speaker 5: the Raptors, where the Celtics could score the rim even

1015
00:46:00,680 --> 00:46:02,919
Speaker 5: though Surge was doing a good job, but Mark wasn't.

1016
00:46:03,040 --> 00:46:06,359
Speaker 5: Marcus Sol wasn't. Bam Is. Yeah, he's he's so good

1017
00:46:06,360 --> 00:46:09,919
Speaker 5: at defending everything and keeping the ball in play as well,

1018
00:46:09,960 --> 00:46:12,360
Speaker 5: and and pushing it forward like he knows where the

1019
00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:15,240
Speaker 5: ball is going when he comes, when he blocks a shot,

1020
00:46:15,280 --> 00:46:19,279
Speaker 5: he is. He is just freaking skilled. So it's it's

1021
00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:21,600
Speaker 5: one guy that, yeah, he doesn't He's not going to

1022
00:46:21,680 --> 00:46:24,080
Speaker 5: get a lot of love from the common fan, for

1023
00:46:24,160 --> 00:46:26,600
Speaker 5: the casual fan, because you know, he's not gonna put

1024
00:46:26,640 --> 00:46:28,880
Speaker 5: a lot of points on the board, but he's going

1025
00:46:28,920 --> 00:46:31,480
Speaker 5: to do it defensively. And I just wanted to say this.

1026
00:46:31,640 --> 00:46:34,720
Speaker 5: I laugh as I say it because I saw Matt Bullard,

1027
00:46:34,920 --> 00:46:39,279
Speaker 5: former NBA player now Rockets broadcasters say any chance that

1028
00:46:39,280 --> 00:46:41,360
Speaker 5: that was a goaltend because.

1029
00:46:42,440 --> 00:46:46,280
Speaker 4: It's so funny. I thought the same thing for a second,

1030
00:46:46,440 --> 00:46:48,560
Speaker 4: like it's over, Yeah, it's so funny because it's over

1031
00:46:48,640 --> 00:46:49,000
Speaker 4: the rim.

1032
00:46:49,600 --> 00:46:51,880
Speaker 2: Yeah going yeah.

1033
00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:55,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, that would be amazing. That would that would Yeah,

1034
00:46:55,520 --> 00:46:58,440
Speaker 5: the the internet, the NBA should explode if they went

1035
00:46:58,480 --> 00:47:01,920
Speaker 5: over and reviewed a potential old tend for a block.

1036
00:47:02,320 --> 00:47:05,000
Speaker 5: That would have been ridiculous. But you know, Jimmy Butler,

1037
00:47:05,160 --> 00:47:07,120
Speaker 5: he's getting a lot of love for hitting that three

1038
00:47:07,160 --> 00:47:09,799
Speaker 5: at the end and then hitting the end one at

1039
00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:11,680
Speaker 5: the end of overtime. So he had a big play

1040
00:47:11,719 --> 00:47:13,040
Speaker 5: at the end of regulation, a big play at the

1041
00:47:13,120 --> 00:47:15,120
Speaker 5: end of overtime. But I think.

1042
00:47:16,920 --> 00:47:25,080
Speaker 4: In his throat, all right, spicy, would you do favor?

1043
00:47:25,640 --> 00:47:26,799
Speaker 3: No, it's the water.

1044
00:47:28,600 --> 00:47:32,200
Speaker 5: That happens.

1045
00:47:30,040 --> 00:47:33,479
Speaker 2: Couple figured out how to drink water.

1046
00:47:36,160 --> 00:47:42,560
Speaker 5: Okay, sorry, we're doing all right, Okay. Jimmy wasn't really

1047
00:47:42,640 --> 00:47:44,680
Speaker 5: feeling it. I didn't think at the end of the

1048
00:47:44,719 --> 00:47:47,600
Speaker 5: fourth quarter, like he was playing facilitator at the end.

1049
00:47:48,640 --> 00:47:51,960
Speaker 5: He scored one bucket midway through the fourth, but the

1050
00:47:52,080 --> 00:47:55,799
Speaker 5: last possessions of the fourth quarter he was getting everybody

1051
00:47:55,800 --> 00:47:58,440
Speaker 5: else involved. He had Cambus switch on to him, like

1052
00:47:58,520 --> 00:48:01,480
Speaker 5: last four possessions too already left. He had Kemba switch

1053
00:48:01,560 --> 00:48:03,880
Speaker 5: on to him, which is the exact matchup you wanted.

1054
00:48:04,400 --> 00:48:07,160
Speaker 5: He decided to go into Kemba but throw it to

1055
00:48:07,200 --> 00:48:10,239
Speaker 5: the corner. Goran drags missed the shot. Next possession is

1056
00:48:10,239 --> 00:48:12,799
Speaker 5: the third last possession of the game. Jimmy Butler only

1057
00:48:12,800 --> 00:48:16,480
Speaker 5: has two points in the quarter. Again, gets kemb Onham

1058
00:48:16,520 --> 00:48:19,400
Speaker 5: the switch that they want, he passes out of it.

1059
00:48:19,480 --> 00:48:21,600
Speaker 5: He gets it back at the end of the shot clock.

1060
00:48:21,680 --> 00:48:24,160
Speaker 5: It's that late three point attempt where he clanks it,

1061
00:48:24,560 --> 00:48:27,160
Speaker 5: and then the next possession, Goran Dragic sets up Tyler

1062
00:48:27,239 --> 00:48:30,480
Speaker 5: Hero huge, huge three. So Jimmy Butler doesn't have any

1063
00:48:30,480 --> 00:48:33,160
Speaker 5: points at this point when it comes to clutch time.

1064
00:48:33,400 --> 00:48:35,760
Speaker 5: And then even that possession where he hit the three

1065
00:48:36,160 --> 00:48:39,800
Speaker 5: in the corner, which was a ridiculous toughs side step three.

1066
00:48:40,080 --> 00:48:41,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, he gave the ball.

1067
00:48:41,840 --> 00:48:45,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, he got Kemba underneath the rim and there was

1068
00:48:45,640 --> 00:48:47,760
Speaker 5: help sort of a round. But he could have shot,

1069
00:48:48,480 --> 00:48:51,520
Speaker 5: you know, because he definitely loves contact, but he passed out.

1070
00:48:51,719 --> 00:48:53,680
Speaker 5: Goran dragicch had the ball three point line and ended

1071
00:48:53,760 --> 00:48:56,759
Speaker 5: up getting it to Jimmy Butler in the corner. You know,

1072
00:48:56,880 --> 00:48:58,840
Speaker 5: Jimmy didn't really make that play, although you know he

1073
00:48:58,880 --> 00:49:01,320
Speaker 5: was facilitating otherwise, I just didn't think he was really

1074
00:49:01,600 --> 00:49:04,239
Speaker 5: feeling it. So he had, Yeah, he had that three

1075
00:49:04,280 --> 00:49:08,319
Speaker 5: point shot there, and then even in overtime, missed two

1076
00:49:08,360 --> 00:49:10,359
Speaker 5: shots and then the and one at the end, So

1077
00:49:10,840 --> 00:49:13,879
Speaker 5: one for three in overtime and two for three sort

1078
00:49:13,920 --> 00:49:16,400
Speaker 5: of including that bucket midway through the fourth in the

1079
00:49:16,440 --> 00:49:21,520
Speaker 5: fourth quarter. But he have multiple opportunities to have Chempus

1080
00:49:21,520 --> 00:49:23,560
Speaker 5: switch on to him even in the first quarter. That's

1081
00:49:23,600 --> 00:49:25,439
Speaker 5: what they were looking for, and the Celtics were giving

1082
00:49:25,480 --> 00:49:27,560
Speaker 5: it to him. That would There's no other matchup that's

1083
00:49:27,760 --> 00:49:30,520
Speaker 5: that good for Jimmy Butler. That's six inches. You're not

1084
00:49:30,560 --> 00:49:33,960
Speaker 5: getting a better matchup against the Boston Celtics. And he

1085
00:49:34,040 --> 00:49:35,920
Speaker 5: was still just trying to facilitate and he had fifteen

1086
00:49:35,920 --> 00:49:38,960
Speaker 5: points sort of going into the final stretch there and

1087
00:49:39,040 --> 00:49:42,879
Speaker 5: it worked. I mean, Tyler Hero and Goran Drags were

1088
00:49:42,920 --> 00:49:44,719
Speaker 5: the heroes. I think in this game. Dravis were twenty

1089
00:49:44,760 --> 00:49:48,200
Speaker 5: nine and Tyler Hero forty minutes more than Janistet Gumpo

1090
00:49:48,360 --> 00:49:52,200
Speaker 5: played all freaking playoffs. Tyler Hero was a rook playing

1091
00:49:52,239 --> 00:49:55,160
Speaker 5: forty minutes because there was some foul trouble on that side.

1092
00:49:55,160 --> 00:49:59,759
Speaker 5: But I just I don't know how they put the

1093
00:50:00,120 --> 00:50:03,239
Speaker 5: that fourth quarter and overtime together, Like I know the

1094
00:50:03,280 --> 00:50:07,960
Speaker 5: Celtics are a good defensive team, but right now, it

1095
00:50:08,080 --> 00:50:10,279
Speaker 5: feels like the Heat are a superior team. It just

1096
00:50:10,320 --> 00:50:13,440
Speaker 5: feels like they know what they're doing every single moment.

1097
00:50:13,480 --> 00:50:15,480
Speaker 5: And the Celtics gave up that lead there at the

1098
00:50:15,520 --> 00:50:18,280
Speaker 5: end of the fourth quarter because they weren't taking great shots.

1099
00:50:18,560 --> 00:50:21,920
Speaker 5: And it just feels like the Heat, like the referees.

1100
00:50:21,960 --> 00:50:23,560
Speaker 5: To me, if I'm a referee, I'm buying into what

1101
00:50:23,600 --> 00:50:26,360
Speaker 5: the Heat are selling on defense, like they're they're annoying

1102
00:50:26,520 --> 00:50:28,719
Speaker 5: and and they they'll they'll tell you, no way, that

1103
00:50:28,840 --> 00:50:31,040
Speaker 5: was a foul, and they're right. They just they're just

1104
00:50:31,200 --> 00:50:35,600
Speaker 5: so on point right now. I just you mentioned skeets

1105
00:50:35,640 --> 00:50:38,439
Speaker 5: that game one, bam Adebayo huge block in the Eastern

1106
00:50:38,440 --> 00:50:41,120
Speaker 5: Conference Finals. It kind of doesn't feel like this is

1107
00:50:41,120 --> 00:50:44,800
Speaker 5: an Eastern Conference Finals game because because it's in a bubble,

1108
00:50:44,840 --> 00:50:47,320
Speaker 5: there's no home crowd. All these games sort of blend together.

1109
00:50:47,520 --> 00:50:49,680
Speaker 2: There was still a second round game last night.

1110
00:50:49,600 --> 00:50:54,319
Speaker 5: So right that was after the Eastern Conferences. Yeah, I

1111
00:50:54,360 --> 00:50:56,080
Speaker 5: was I was thinking, maybe I'm gonna watch this game

1112
00:50:56,120 --> 00:50:59,279
Speaker 5: seven first and then go to the I wasn't gonna

1113
00:50:59,280 --> 00:51:01,840
Speaker 5: do that, but it just feels weird. It just it

1114
00:51:01,920 --> 00:51:06,200
Speaker 5: felt strange. But this this Heat team, it just feels

1115
00:51:06,280 --> 00:51:09,799
Speaker 5: like I think the Celtics had to get Game one.

1116
00:51:10,640 --> 00:51:12,440
Speaker 4: WHOA, what are you calling this? Alright?

1117
00:51:12,760 --> 00:51:15,879
Speaker 2: Well, no Celtics have things to improve, There's no doubt

1118
00:51:15,920 --> 00:51:19,640
Speaker 2: about it. Draga and Hero were instrumental playing fast and

1119
00:51:19,680 --> 00:51:21,959
Speaker 2: I thought that was the biggest thing for the Heat

1120
00:51:22,000 --> 00:51:24,200
Speaker 2: was that they got sixteen fast break points. After we

1121
00:51:24,280 --> 00:51:26,040
Speaker 2: just saw the Celtics do such a good job in

1122
00:51:26,080 --> 00:51:28,480
Speaker 2: transition against the Raptors, you know, like that was kind

1123
00:51:28,520 --> 00:51:30,200
Speaker 2: of their number one thing to take away. We got

1124
00:51:30,239 --> 00:51:32,400
Speaker 2: to figure out how to stop the Raptors transition attack.

1125
00:51:32,480 --> 00:51:36,120
Speaker 2: And I think that that's gonna have to be That's

1126
00:51:36,160 --> 00:51:39,240
Speaker 2: gonna have to be what uh what the Celtics focus

1127
00:51:39,280 --> 00:51:41,799
Speaker 2: on here, because Drags getting on tracked there in the

1128
00:51:41,800 --> 00:51:44,320
Speaker 2: second quarter really got the Heat rolling. Hero like you

1129
00:51:44,360 --> 00:51:46,360
Speaker 2: guys are saying, he made that pass ahead on the

1130
00:51:46,360 --> 00:51:49,080
Speaker 2: bounce pass. He had that tough lefty in transition as well.

1131
00:51:49,719 --> 00:51:51,200
Speaker 4: He hit two huge three.

1132
00:51:52,520 --> 00:51:52,920
Speaker 5: Regulation.

1133
00:51:53,239 --> 00:51:57,080
Speaker 2: So that's certainly a place where where the Celtics can

1134
00:51:57,080 --> 00:51:58,719
Speaker 2: improve their defense. And you know, that's a place that

1135
00:51:58,760 --> 00:52:01,360
Speaker 2: they've been pretty good at for most of the season.

1136
00:52:01,520 --> 00:52:03,239
Speaker 2: And you know, Kema Walker just has to be a

1137
00:52:03,280 --> 00:52:05,399
Speaker 2: little bit better as well. He didn't have a great game,

1138
00:52:05,440 --> 00:52:08,040
Speaker 2: and we thought that Dragitch versus Kemba would be possibly

1139
00:52:08,080 --> 00:52:10,560
Speaker 2: a swing point in this series. Game one, no doubt

1140
00:52:10,560 --> 00:52:11,239
Speaker 2: went to drag Itch.

1141
00:52:11,239 --> 00:52:11,800
Speaker 4: He was great.

1142
00:52:12,320 --> 00:52:15,399
Speaker 2: So, yeah, kudos to the heat and Jimmy. The thing

1143
00:52:15,400 --> 00:52:17,959
Speaker 2: with Jimmy Butler is like, the guy's been talking about

1144
00:52:17,960 --> 00:52:20,440
Speaker 2: wanting to be the man forever, so a team finally said, yeah,

1145
00:52:20,480 --> 00:52:21,759
Speaker 2: you can be the man. He's like, Okay, I'll just

1146
00:52:21,760 --> 00:52:24,120
Speaker 2: pass it all the time now because all that matters

1147
00:52:24,120 --> 00:52:26,360
Speaker 2: for him in the fourth quarters that he gets in

1148
00:52:26,400 --> 00:52:28,719
Speaker 2: the lane every single time. You're right task. He's not

1149
00:52:28,719 --> 00:52:30,920
Speaker 2: shooting it every single time. He's not making it every

1150
00:52:30,920 --> 00:52:32,839
Speaker 2: single time he takes it, but he's getting two feet

1151
00:52:32,840 --> 00:52:35,040
Speaker 2: in the lane and it's coming out to somebody and

1152
00:52:35,120 --> 00:52:37,880
Speaker 2: it's swinging around the perimeter, or he's gonna get to

1153
00:52:37,920 --> 00:52:39,480
Speaker 2: the free throw line, or he's gonna shoot a little

1154
00:52:39,520 --> 00:52:41,680
Speaker 2: something off the glass. The key is getting in the

1155
00:52:41,760 --> 00:52:43,120
Speaker 2: lane and the guy's great at it.

1156
00:52:43,400 --> 00:52:46,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, Jimmy Butler is you know at the party, there's

1157
00:52:47,000 --> 00:52:49,919
Speaker 4: two on two beer pong going on. You know, I'm

1158
00:52:49,960 --> 00:52:53,080
Speaker 4: with Jimmy. I'm hitting every shot I'm carrying us right now.

1159
00:52:53,120 --> 00:52:56,000
Speaker 4: I'm hitting every cup, but Jimmy just hits the last

1160
00:52:56,000 --> 00:52:59,000
Speaker 4: one and it's like, well, Jimmy's the hero. Jimmy won

1161
00:52:59,120 --> 00:53:01,040
Speaker 4: this for you. I'm like, I did everything else. I

1162
00:53:01,080 --> 00:53:02,919
Speaker 4: got us there, I got us to the final cup.

1163
00:53:02,920 --> 00:53:05,400
Speaker 4: It doesn't matter, Jimmy, that's the toughest cup. Jimmy's like,

1164
00:53:05,440 --> 00:53:07,440
Speaker 4: I got this one. He's done your part and he

1165
00:53:07,480 --> 00:53:09,080
Speaker 4: knocks it in. Yeah, it's special. I just want to

1166
00:53:09,080 --> 00:53:10,880
Speaker 4: say too about Goring Dragic. I'm glad you guys were

1167
00:53:10,880 --> 00:53:12,560
Speaker 4: showing him some love there because we've been talking them

1168
00:53:12,640 --> 00:53:15,080
Speaker 4: up through the entire bubble. I thought the heat it

1169
00:53:15,080 --> 00:53:17,399
Speaker 4: was a little rude awakening. I thought early in this game,

1170
00:53:17,440 --> 00:53:19,960
Speaker 4: for the heat to see a defense like the Celtics

1171
00:53:20,040 --> 00:53:24,080
Speaker 4: right there, was like, whoa, okay, this is playoff defense here,

1172
00:53:24,239 --> 00:53:26,480
Speaker 4: all right, here we go. But they weathered the storm,

1173
00:53:26,480 --> 00:53:29,080
Speaker 4: and really it was mainly to drags and then they

1174
00:53:29,120 --> 00:53:31,319
Speaker 4: went gangbusters in the second quarter and we're right back

1175
00:53:31,320 --> 00:53:33,080
Speaker 4: in the game. And then they went ice cold in

1176
00:53:33,080 --> 00:53:35,000
Speaker 4: the third and got it going in the fourth. Weird game,

1177
00:53:35,040 --> 00:53:38,200
Speaker 4: but the dragon huge. I mean, I know we do

1178
00:53:38,560 --> 00:53:42,440
Speaker 4: focus on the final buckets. Jimmy final plays BAM's block,

1179
00:53:42,880 --> 00:53:44,440
Speaker 4: but those points at the beginning of the game are

1180
00:53:44,520 --> 00:53:47,600
Speaker 4: just as important. They really are. It's cliche, but those ones,

1181
00:53:47,680 --> 00:53:50,600
Speaker 4: keeping them around, keeping them with, you know, within reach,

1182
00:53:51,239 --> 00:53:53,000
Speaker 4: big stuff there. I thought, I'm drugag and then like

1183
00:53:53,040 --> 00:53:54,960
Speaker 4: I love, I'm glad you guys are again. Tyler Hero

1184
00:53:55,400 --> 00:53:57,920
Speaker 4: nearly a triple double at his age, all those threes,

1185
00:53:57,920 --> 00:54:00,840
Speaker 4: all those nice plays you guys were talking about, incredible stuff.

1186
00:54:00,840 --> 00:54:02,799
Speaker 4: And I'm so happy this game and the way it did,

1187
00:54:02,840 --> 00:54:05,520
Speaker 4: I'll be honest, because if we had been here really

1188
00:54:05,560 --> 00:54:09,120
Speaker 4: having to focus on the Smart flop free in bounds

1189
00:54:09,160 --> 00:54:14,400
Speaker 4: that tied the game up where it's Kember that's pushing

1190
00:54:14,640 --> 00:54:19,239
Speaker 4: Derek Jones Junior into Smart who then flops and bellishes,

1191
00:54:19,719 --> 00:54:21,560
Speaker 4: you know, with twenty two seconds left, and Tinam it's

1192
00:54:21,560 --> 00:54:23,960
Speaker 4: the free throw. I mean, if thank god that I

1193
00:54:24,000 --> 00:54:26,000
Speaker 4: don't know that they didn't win on that, you know,

1194
00:54:26,680 --> 00:54:28,240
Speaker 4: I'm very happy that didn't happen.

1195
00:54:28,400 --> 00:54:30,839
Speaker 6: Marcus Smart hit six threes, twenty six points. I thought

1196
00:54:30,880 --> 00:54:33,680
Speaker 6: his defense was great. Even when Jimmy Butler is there,

1197
00:54:33,719 --> 00:54:35,320
Speaker 6: he's like, I don't I don't want to go against

1198
00:54:35,360 --> 00:54:35,880
Speaker 6: Marcus Smart.

1199
00:54:35,880 --> 00:54:38,640
Speaker 3: He's got such great hands. And then he does something.

1200
00:54:38,440 --> 00:54:40,240
Speaker 6: Like that, and I'm sure it's a play it ties

1201
00:54:40,280 --> 00:54:42,520
Speaker 6: the game up, but I'm just like, don't do that, man,

1202
00:54:42,600 --> 00:54:43,320
Speaker 6: you don't need.

1203
00:54:43,239 --> 00:54:43,719
Speaker 3: To do that.

1204
00:54:43,800 --> 00:54:47,720
Speaker 6: And the referees falling for it, yeah, makes it even worse.

1205
00:54:47,760 --> 00:54:51,040
Speaker 6: And it's just like, man, Marcus Smart, you drive me

1206
00:54:51,080 --> 00:54:52,880
Speaker 6: crazy because I think he's such a great player and

1207
00:54:52,920 --> 00:54:55,239
Speaker 6: he's improved so much and he's so valuable to that team.

1208
00:54:55,239 --> 00:54:57,439
Speaker 6: But then I just want to strangle him sometimes as well,

1209
00:54:57,480 --> 00:54:59,600
Speaker 6: because he just doesn't need to do that. He's a

1210
00:54:59,640 --> 00:55:03,880
Speaker 6: brilliant defender already. So that was that was annoying. But also,

1211
00:55:03,960 --> 00:55:05,839
Speaker 6: you know Kemba Walker. We haven't really spoken about him

1212
00:55:05,840 --> 00:55:07,799
Speaker 6: because he didn't have a great game, but he hit

1213
00:55:07,840 --> 00:55:11,439
Speaker 6: two of the big shots too, major step backs where

1214
00:55:11,719 --> 00:55:14,399
Speaker 6: he like you can see it coming, He's like, I'm

1215
00:55:14,440 --> 00:55:16,640
Speaker 6: going to get my step back here, and he knocked

1216
00:55:16,680 --> 00:55:18,400
Speaker 6: those in. So you know, another guy who he only

1217
00:55:18,440 --> 00:55:20,799
Speaker 6: went one for nine from three, but like Jimmy, he

1218
00:55:20,840 --> 00:55:22,840
Speaker 6: hit the big shots at the end there for the Celtics.

1219
00:55:22,840 --> 00:55:24,800
Speaker 6: So you know, even if he's having a bad game,

1220
00:55:25,160 --> 00:55:26,960
Speaker 6: you feel pretty good when Kember's got the ball in

1221
00:55:27,000 --> 00:55:29,080
Speaker 6: his hands for that last possession and they need a bucket.

1222
00:55:29,200 --> 00:55:31,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, but Trey is absolutely right. I mean he has

1223
00:55:32,080 --> 00:55:35,600
Speaker 4: to outplay Dragitch. I think, you know, in at least

1224
00:55:35,640 --> 00:55:37,279
Speaker 4: four of these games to get victory. I think that's

1225
00:55:37,280 --> 00:55:38,399
Speaker 4: pretty est mental he said.

1226
00:55:38,400 --> 00:55:38,480
Speaker 5: So.

1227
00:55:38,680 --> 00:55:40,160
Speaker 4: I mean he was like, I have to be better.

1228
00:55:40,200 --> 00:55:40,959
Speaker 4: I can be better.

1229
00:55:41,000 --> 00:55:41,359
Speaker 2: I will.

1230
00:55:41,560 --> 00:55:44,160
Speaker 4: You're right he did. He got that separation that he

1231
00:55:44,200 --> 00:55:45,840
Speaker 4: can get because he's got some of the best handles

1232
00:55:45,840 --> 00:55:47,239
Speaker 4: in the game. I think some of them are Ryan

1233
00:55:47,280 --> 00:55:49,759
Speaker 4: Taylor Hero where he's like by big step back and

1234
00:55:49,760 --> 00:55:51,440
Speaker 4: he's like, you know, got a jumper that he can

1235
00:55:51,440 --> 00:55:51,920
Speaker 4: obviously hit.

1236
00:55:52,000 --> 00:55:53,719
Speaker 2: But he's got to be better. I think he will.

1237
00:55:54,480 --> 00:55:56,520
Speaker 4: I don't see how you watch this one game and go, well,

1238
00:55:56,520 --> 00:55:58,920
Speaker 4: this is going six or seven right, Like you know,

1239
00:55:59,040 --> 00:56:01,520
Speaker 4: Tatum had his mom. There was a lot of weird

1240
00:56:01,560 --> 00:56:03,759
Speaker 4: ISO calls. You're right at the end, like, guys, I mean,

1241
00:56:03,760 --> 00:56:05,560
Speaker 4: continue to run your stuff here. You were getting good

1242
00:56:05,600 --> 00:56:08,640
Speaker 4: looks and you know they went a little too io

1243
00:56:08,719 --> 00:56:11,960
Speaker 4: happy because you know, if you don't run anything, then

1244
00:56:11,960 --> 00:56:13,759
Speaker 4: you can't really turn the ball over, right. You know,

1245
00:56:13,840 --> 00:56:16,799
Speaker 4: it's like at least we'll have the ball and we'll

1246
00:56:16,800 --> 00:56:19,200
Speaker 4: get our shot and the clock will expire, but you're

1247
00:56:19,520 --> 00:56:21,000
Speaker 4: likely not going to get as great a shot as

1248
00:56:21,000 --> 00:56:23,279
Speaker 4: you could if you actually ran something. That's the that's

1249
00:56:23,320 --> 00:56:25,960
Speaker 4: the balance there. But tass, I mean, I know you're

1250
00:56:25,960 --> 00:56:27,680
Speaker 4: liking the Heat's chances. You had the Heat, so that's

1251
00:56:27,680 --> 00:56:30,840
Speaker 4: a big win. Game one obviously huge, but feels like

1252
00:56:30,880 --> 00:56:33,799
Speaker 4: this is going to be a very long series and

1253
00:56:33,840 --> 00:56:34,759
Speaker 4: golfully games like this.

1254
00:56:34,920 --> 00:56:37,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, it just felt like, I know it sounds like

1255
00:56:37,520 --> 00:56:40,800
Speaker 5: I'm going overboard when I say the Boston Celtics needed

1256
00:56:40,800 --> 00:56:43,560
Speaker 5: to get this game, but they were flowing after that

1257
00:56:43,640 --> 00:56:46,040
Speaker 5: seven game series against the Raptors. You could see coming

1258
00:56:46,080 --> 00:56:48,560
Speaker 5: into this game the Heat were a little rusty. Yeah,

1259
00:56:48,560 --> 00:56:51,080
Speaker 5: that's why the Celtics got out to a thirteen point

1260
00:56:51,120 --> 00:56:53,160
Speaker 5: lead in that first quarter, and they had a dozen

1261
00:56:53,160 --> 00:56:55,200
Speaker 5: point lead in the end of the third quarter. So

1262
00:56:55,280 --> 00:56:59,920
Speaker 5: I just I just felt like, combined with Marcus Smart's shooting,

1263
00:57:00,120 --> 00:57:02,560
Speaker 5: you're not going to get that every single game. So

1264
00:57:03,719 --> 00:57:05,920
Speaker 5: I'm going overboard saying they needed this game because they

1265
00:57:05,920 --> 00:57:10,839
Speaker 5: can come back and win this series. But they had

1266
00:57:10,840 --> 00:57:12,719
Speaker 5: a huge advantage which I don't think they're going to

1267
00:57:12,760 --> 00:57:15,239
Speaker 5: have later on in the series, where they have the

1268
00:57:15,280 --> 00:57:19,280
Speaker 5: flow of playing in seven games and having not coming

1269
00:57:19,320 --> 00:57:21,560
Speaker 5: off one day rest. They also had a few day rests,

1270
00:57:21,560 --> 00:57:25,120
Speaker 5: so they're rested while also not being rusty. Is that possible.

1271
00:57:26,320 --> 00:57:28,400
Speaker 5: I don't know, but yeah, it's going to be a

1272
00:57:28,440 --> 00:57:31,240
Speaker 5: long series. The thing is that run at the end

1273
00:57:31,240 --> 00:57:34,919
Speaker 5: of the third quarter shows that the Celtics can put

1274
00:57:34,920 --> 00:57:37,640
Speaker 5: together ten, twelve, fourteen points a lot easier than the

1275
00:57:37,680 --> 00:57:41,960
Speaker 5: Heat can. The Celtics just have so much talent that

1276
00:57:42,760 --> 00:57:45,000
Speaker 5: it is. It reminded me of the Raptor series, where

1277
00:57:45,520 --> 00:57:47,400
Speaker 5: the Heat are going to have to work for buckets,

1278
00:57:47,960 --> 00:57:50,520
Speaker 5: while the Celtics at times when they're not playing ice

1279
00:57:50,520 --> 00:57:52,640
Speaker 5: o ball, they can just rattle off fifteen points. So

1280
00:57:52,680 --> 00:57:54,720
Speaker 5: the Heat have to be careful, just like the Raptors did.

1281
00:57:55,240 --> 00:57:57,800
Speaker 5: They can get down because the Celtics are gifted up

1282
00:57:57,840 --> 00:58:02,000
Speaker 5: and down their roster. Wonder. Yeah, the Marcus Smart situation,

1283
00:58:03,120 --> 00:58:05,640
Speaker 5: you're going to get that again. Jayson Tatum was was great.

1284
00:58:05,800 --> 00:58:09,800
Speaker 5: Kenba obviously has to improve, But yeah, I just the Heat.

1285
00:58:09,800 --> 00:58:11,600
Speaker 5: I don't know how they haven't skipped a beat after

1286
00:58:11,640 --> 00:58:15,040
Speaker 5: that first quarter and Drugs was definitely holding him in

1287
00:58:14,200 --> 00:58:17,600
Speaker 5: and in the game. I don't know. I don't know

1288
00:58:17,640 --> 00:58:20,080
Speaker 5: how they can. They're just the best team. It feels

1289
00:58:20,080 --> 00:58:22,280
Speaker 5: like in the bubble for me team wise, you know,

1290
00:58:22,440 --> 00:58:27,920
Speaker 5: unity wise. But yeah, this series can definitely go either way,

1291
00:58:28,200 --> 00:58:31,400
Speaker 5: and Marcus Smart can also go either way. He's under

1292
00:58:31,440 --> 00:58:35,800
Speaker 5: the skin of Doris Burke at the That's how you

1293
00:58:35,840 --> 00:58:39,560
Speaker 5: know he's really being irritating he is, that's his that's

1294
00:58:39,600 --> 00:58:41,160
Speaker 5: his role, though he's doing it well. I wonder you

1295
00:58:41,160 --> 00:58:43,120
Speaker 5: talk about Gordon Hayward's skeets. Is he going to come

1296
00:58:43,160 --> 00:58:45,120
Speaker 5: back and take Marcus Smart's minutes? Whose minutes is he

1297
00:58:45,160 --> 00:58:47,040
Speaker 5: gonna take? Is he gotta be rusty because Smart is

1298
00:58:47,040 --> 00:58:48,800
Speaker 5: playing well as annoying as he is.

1299
00:58:49,080 --> 00:58:51,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, and by all accounts, we are going to see

1300
00:58:51,120 --> 00:58:54,600
Speaker 4: Gordon Hayward if this series goes long. He's going to

1301
00:58:54,640 --> 00:58:56,240
Speaker 4: make his return at some point. It'll be interesting to

1302
00:58:56,240 --> 00:58:58,600
Speaker 4: see what he kind of gives a to the Celtics

1303
00:58:58,640 --> 00:59:00,920
Speaker 4: start fun fun games are for the Bean Town boys.

1304
00:59:00,920 --> 00:59:03,360
Speaker 4: But you're right, the heat, they're locked into it. And

1305
00:59:03,400 --> 00:59:05,440
Speaker 4: the only difference with the Raptors task, I mean it's

1306
00:59:05,480 --> 00:59:08,280
Speaker 4: a fair comparison is they do have Jimmy and Bam

1307
00:59:08,360 --> 00:59:10,560
Speaker 4: who can just get to the damn line and get

1308
00:59:10,640 --> 00:59:14,080
Speaker 4: some easy points when things are tough because you're against

1309
00:59:14,080 --> 00:59:15,959
Speaker 4: the good defense. So that that they have that going

1310
00:59:15,960 --> 00:59:17,680
Speaker 4: for them, and I just also just believe in their

1311
00:59:17,680 --> 00:59:19,880
Speaker 4: three point shooting a lot more than I did in

1312
00:59:20,040 --> 00:59:23,720
Speaker 4: a lot of those raptors guys in Hero and Duncan Robinson.

1313
00:59:23,920 --> 00:59:25,680
Speaker 4: You know, they had basically nothing here because he was

1314
00:59:25,720 --> 00:59:28,280
Speaker 4: in foul trouble, but they got shooters and even drugage.

1315
00:59:28,320 --> 00:59:31,280
Speaker 4: So we'll see, we'll see, fun, fun game. What a

1316
00:59:31,400 --> 00:59:33,520
Speaker 4: night that was. We've been doing this for a long

1317
00:59:33,520 --> 00:59:35,000
Speaker 4: time here down in the babble. That was one of

1318
00:59:35,040 --> 00:59:37,720
Speaker 4: the more enjoyable nights just in terms of the games

1319
00:59:37,720 --> 00:59:41,560
Speaker 4: and breaking them down here, so for sure, and our

1320
00:59:41,640 --> 00:59:44,360
Speaker 4: last two game night on a way to go out,

1321
00:59:44,440 --> 00:59:46,480
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, down to one game a night. You're right,

1322
00:59:46,480 --> 00:59:49,520
Speaker 4: all right, let's get your tweet of the night and

1323
00:59:49,560 --> 00:59:52,040
Speaker 4: we'll and we'll we'll wrap this bad boy up. But firstly,

1324
00:59:52,080 --> 00:59:58,680
Speaker 4: another word from responsible. Yes, listen, it's not water down

1325
00:59:58,760 --> 00:59:59,040
Speaker 4: the wrong.

1326
01:00:00,720 --> 01:00:03,120
Speaker 6: I've got about twenty five different tabs open here anyway,

1327
01:00:03,120 --> 01:00:05,800
Speaker 6: I've got to here a listen. Is your student loan

1328
01:00:05,840 --> 01:00:07,680
Speaker 6: payment too high?

1329
01:00:07,920 --> 01:00:09,840
Speaker 3: Is water wet? Technically it's not.

1330
01:00:10,400 --> 01:00:14,400
Speaker 6: Anyway, Well, refinancing with Ernest could help you lower your

1331
01:00:14,440 --> 01:00:17,720
Speaker 6: monthly payment because interest rates have hit record lows, which

1332
01:00:17,760 --> 01:00:20,240
Speaker 6: means it's a great time to refinance your student loans

1333
01:00:20,560 --> 01:00:23,440
Speaker 6: and see if you can lower your monthly payment. If

1334
01:00:23,440 --> 01:00:26,080
Speaker 6: you've been making the same monthly payment on your student

1335
01:00:26,120 --> 01:00:28,280
Speaker 6: loans for the last couple of years, odds are you

1336
01:00:28,280 --> 01:00:32,160
Speaker 6: could reduce your payment and save by refinancing with Ernest.

1337
01:00:32,520 --> 01:00:35,240
Speaker 6: And even if you have refinanced before, with today's low

1338
01:00:35,320 --> 01:00:39,920
Speaker 6: rate environment, most people could save by refinancing again and

1339
01:00:40,200 --> 01:00:40,960

Speaker 6: NBA two minutes either, by the way, that's a real

1343
01:00:48,520 --> 01:00:50,560
Speaker 6: two minutes, like if it's an NBA two minutes out

1344

01:02:47,440 --> 01:02:49,920
Speaker 5: Hi. I am Tasmelus from no dunks on the athletic,

1382
01:02:50,640 --> 01:02:55,840
Speaker 5: as the great philosopher Brian of the Backtory Boys once said, ever.

1383
01:02:55,840 --> 01:02:58,760
Speaker 2: Bady gay.

1384
01:03:02,960 --> 01:03:09,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, amberbad hadra shall body right.

1385
01:03:11,800 --> 01:03:13,480
Speaker 2: Hadrations back.

1386
01:03:13,760 --> 01:03:14,240
Speaker 6: All right.

1387
01:03:15,640 --> 01:03:18,120
Speaker 5: We all know we have to stay hydrated. I've used

1388
01:03:18,160 --> 01:03:22,120
Speaker 5: an app a big water bottle posted notes and proper

1389
01:03:22,200 --> 01:03:25,880
Speaker 5: hydration is extremely important right now. It can really help

1390
01:03:25,920 --> 01:03:29,600
Speaker 5: your immune system. Believe it or not, dehydration occurs daily

1391
01:03:29,720 --> 01:03:33,160
Speaker 5: in three out of four people. With Liquid IV, you

1392
01:03:33,200 --> 01:03:36,480
Speaker 5: have the fastest, most efficient way to stay hydrated. Each

1393
01:03:36,520 --> 01:03:39,240
Speaker 5: serving helps you get as much hydration as two to

1394
01:03:39,320 --> 01:03:42,720
Speaker 5: three bottles of water. I like using Liquid IV when

1395
01:03:42,720 --> 01:03:46,240
Speaker 5: I hit that afternoon lull instead of grabbing a coffee,

1396
01:03:46,320 --> 01:03:49,160
Speaker 5: I grab one stick of the lemon lime, put it

1397
01:03:49,200 --> 01:03:51,800
Speaker 5: in my water and I get that energy boost I

1398
01:03:51,920 --> 01:03:56,000
Speaker 5: need without dehydrating my body and getting dry mouth. It's

1399
01:03:56,160 --> 01:04:00,520
Speaker 5: win win because it contains five essential vitamins, vitamin C

1400
01:04:00,640 --> 01:04:04,120
Speaker 5: than an orange and as much potassium as a banana. Oh,

1401
01:04:04,160 --> 01:04:08,320
Speaker 5: my mate Leeley would love it. It's healthier than sugary

1402
01:04:08,400 --> 01:04:12,520
Speaker 5: sports drinks with no artificial flavors or preservatives and less

1403
01:04:12,640 --> 01:04:16,840
Speaker 5: sugar than an apple. Liquid IV is available nationwide at

1437
01:06:04,280 --> 01:06:08,280
Speaker 6: on the back of the head, and then she denies it.

1438
01:06:08,320 --> 01:06:10,360
Speaker 6: I think, I actually I can't remember how it is there. Yeah,

1439
01:06:10,360 --> 01:06:14,200
Speaker 6: but that's also the scene where Missus doubtfire. Robin is

1440
01:06:14,200 --> 01:06:17,080
Speaker 6: obviously dressed in full costume there and a girl comes

1441

Speaker 6: up to the bar in a bikini and he just

1442
01:06:18,720 --> 01:06:20,600
Speaker 6: gives it a little wink and she orders a beer

1450
01:06:52,240 --> 01:06:54,200

1451
01:06:54,200 --> 01:06:56,880
Speaker 6: and Sting one, because that's that's not the classic look

1452
01:06:56,880 --> 01:07:01,760
Speaker 6: of Shaggy right there. I mean, like the hair shaped

1453
01:07:01,760 --> 01:07:03,640
Speaker 6: like that, that's not how you normally, so you usually

1454
01:07:03,640 --> 01:07:05,240
Speaker 6: got a hat on and maybe some glasses.

1455
01:07:05,320 --> 01:07:07,920
Speaker 3: But I appreciate it.

1456
01:07:08,600 --> 01:07:11,400
