Okay, I feel like there's like what I won't 0:01:22.800 --> 0:01:24.720 get into that. No, go ahead, get into it. 0:01:24.840 --> 0:01:26.119 We're not even on the air yet. 0:01:26.200 --> 0:01:28.400 I just feel like mine's more impressive because I'm me 0:01:29.160 --> 0:01:32.280 here are you? Oh, It's like grading on a curve. 0:01:33.160 --> 0:01:46.720 Okay, Welcome in. 0:01:46.880 --> 0:01:49.800 It is episode nineteen of the What's Right with Nick 0:01:49.840 --> 0:01:51.720 Great podcast in YouTube show. 0:01:52.080 --> 0:01:53.920 Please like, rate, subscribe, review. 0:01:54.000 --> 0:01:57.280 These episodes come out every Tuesday and Thursday, and on 0:01:57.400 --> 0:02:01.280 Sundays we continue our countdown of the fifty greatest players 0:02:01.320 --> 0:02:04.520 of the last fifty years. We are approaching the top 0:02:04.600 --> 0:02:07.440 twenty five, so be ready for those episodes as well. 0:02:07.600 --> 0:02:11.679 This is a glorious day in my household, A glorious 0:02:11.800 --> 0:02:15.960 day in the world of sports takes where everyone surveyed 0:02:16.000 --> 0:02:20.000 the landscape and only one person outside of the Metroplex 0:02:20.240 --> 0:02:24.720 had the forest, sight, the guts, the courage to pick 0:02:25.320 --> 0:02:28.200 the Dallas Mavericks to beat the Phoenix Suns. We will 0:02:28.240 --> 0:02:31.040 discuss that in a moment. But first, before we get 0:02:31.080 --> 0:02:34.080 to my gloating son, Demons, who has something he wants 0:02:34.120 --> 0:02:36.800 to brag about, we must talk about what we're not 0:02:37.040 --> 0:02:40.120 talking about on today's show. Here is what is not 0:02:40.240 --> 0:02:43.400 on the show. The Reds throw a no hitter but lose. 0:02:43.760 --> 0:02:46.440 There was a Frank Gore knockout that we're not getting to, 0:02:46.639 --> 0:02:51.919 and Oklahoma signed a quarterback named General Booty. We are 0:02:51.960 --> 0:02:55.119 not discussing any of those things. We are, however, going 0:02:55.160 --> 0:02:59.400 to discuss quickly. Small change to the show. We've upped 0:02:59.400 --> 0:03:02.720 the clock. See that, demansexcuse me ten minutes. It's now 0:03:02.760 --> 0:03:05.440 twelve minutes. They have given me the extra two minutes. 0:03:05.840 --> 0:03:09.280 With that, I promise I am going to start hitting 0:03:09.320 --> 0:03:11.520 the clock. It's been two months of not hitting the clock. 0:03:11.600 --> 0:03:14.520 Episode nineteen is the day I turn over a new lead. 0:03:14.840 --> 0:03:17.960 So start the clock right now, Demons. I assume we 0:03:18.000 --> 0:03:21.880 are starting with Luca and the MAVs the glory, So 0:03:21.960 --> 0:03:22.320 go ahead. 0:03:22.360 --> 0:03:23.080 What are we starting with? 0:03:23.160 --> 0:03:27.720 The Celtics dominated the Bucks in Game seven on Sunday, 0:03:28.120 --> 0:03:30.840 Giannis ran out of gas and Celtics couldn't seem to 0:03:30.880 --> 0:03:33.280 miss from three. So you know you want to give 0:03:33.280 --> 0:03:35.280 me that Twitter today or tomorrow? How do you want 0:03:35.280 --> 0:03:38.840 to do it? Also, I can't decide what's easier, you know, 0:03:38.960 --> 0:03:41.080 doing your job or betting on sports. 0:03:41.360 --> 0:03:44.880 Okay, So if people don't know, Demanse picked the Celtics, 0:03:44.880 --> 0:03:46.960 They're his favorite team from childhood. 0:03:47.240 --> 0:03:48.440 I picked the Bucks. 0:03:48.880 --> 0:03:52.240 This series was not a quick series analysis before we 0:03:52.320 --> 0:03:54.200 get to the fact that you won and you even 0:03:54.280 --> 0:03:55.400 made the side of the screen. 0:03:55.440 --> 0:03:57.680 You made the rundown before we even get to that 0:03:58.320 --> 0:03:59.320 a series analysis. 0:03:59.360 --> 0:04:02.920 This This game was decided in game six, and Game 0:04:03.080 --> 0:04:06.960 six was the game Milwaukee was supposed to take it. 0:04:07.360 --> 0:04:08.920 Jannis did everything he was supposed to do. 0:04:08.960 --> 0:04:11.520 He had forty four to twenty and six, and the 0:04:11.600 --> 0:04:14.600 difference was Jason Tatum had the game of his life 0:04:14.600 --> 0:04:15.920 and I give him all the credit in the world. 0:04:16.200 --> 0:04:20.760 Jason Tatum in Round one, Game one, game winning way 0:04:21.560 --> 0:04:24.400 Round one, Game three, the most pivotal game of the series. 0:04:24.440 --> 0:04:26.680 You're back in Brooklyn. It's either going to be two 0:04:26.720 --> 0:04:29.040 to one with this series going long, or the Celtics 0:04:29.080 --> 0:04:31.680 in full control of three to zero. Tatum had thirty 0:04:31.760 --> 0:04:35.159 nine points. Pester Durant the whole time. Outplayed Durant led 0:04:35.200 --> 0:04:38.520 that to being a suite. Then Game six, season on 0:04:38.640 --> 0:04:41.880 the line in Milwaukee, with one of the greatest players ever, 0:04:41.920 --> 0:04:45.320 Jannisan den Kumpo, having a peak of his powers. Game 0:04:45.680 --> 0:04:48.680 forty four to twenty and six, Tatum met him eye 0:04:48.720 --> 0:04:51.440 to eye, shot for shot. I don't know if he 0:04:51.480 --> 0:04:53.599 outplayed him or just played him to a draw, but 0:04:53.960 --> 0:04:56.359 that was enough for the Celtics as a whole to 0:04:56.520 --> 0:05:00.520 win the game. That's what decided it. Game seven, Giannest 0:05:00.600 --> 0:05:03.000 was okay but not great. Grant Williams ad seven threes. 0:05:03.000 --> 0:05:05.039 I don't even care about that. What I care about 0:05:05.080 --> 0:05:08.039 is the game six. What Jason Tatum did. He deserves 0:05:08.120 --> 0:05:09.920 all the credit in the world, all the credit in 0:05:09.960 --> 0:05:12.360 the world. Now to our bet. If people don't know, 0:05:13.279 --> 0:05:16.240 I took the Bucks, demanse took the Celtics. If the 0:05:16.279 --> 0:05:18.560 Celtics won, Demonsey was going to get control of my 0:05:18.720 --> 0:05:21.880 Twitter feed yep for twenty four hours. 0:05:22.440 --> 0:05:23.680 Here's my question for. 0:05:23.680 --> 0:05:27.000 You, because you mentioned I don't know what's easier sports 0:05:27.040 --> 0:05:31.400 betting or doing my job. I don't know this for certain, 0:05:32.240 --> 0:05:35.880 but I'm guessing even with the Celtics winning your sports 0:05:35.920 --> 0:05:39.000 betting hot streak, maybe hit a cold spell or two 0:05:39.160 --> 0:05:43.200 over the last few weeks. So here's my question. Is 0:05:43.240 --> 0:05:45.480 there a dollar amount I can pay you to buy an. 0:05:48.440 --> 0:05:49.800 Is there a dollar amount? 0:05:49.960 --> 0:05:52.040 So I'm definitely gonna be more than twenty bucks. 0:05:52.360 --> 0:05:57.000 Okay, that's that's fine. They more than twenty bucks I 0:05:57.080 --> 0:06:00.560 have budgeted. I And by the way, producers, I know 0:06:00.720 --> 0:06:04.200 this is terrible for the show, that the listeners get 0:06:04.320 --> 0:06:07.760 nothing and the viewers get nothing out of me simply 0:06:07.800 --> 0:06:10.679 giving demands money. I get it's bad for the show, 0:06:10.960 --> 0:06:13.520 and it's a little cowardly of it. I understand all 0:06:13.560 --> 0:06:14.800 of that still work. 0:06:14.880 --> 0:06:16.920 He just puts his Twitter on a pedestal, you know. 0:06:17.400 --> 0:06:18.960 And there's a lot of things. Yes, you know what 0:06:20.200 --> 0:06:23.200 point it is important. There's half a million people that 0:06:23.240 --> 0:06:26.320 follow it. It is the verify I honestly, here's the 0:06:26.320 --> 0:06:28.200 other thing. I don't want to get into the weeds 0:06:28.200 --> 0:06:31.240 on this, but those of us with verified check marks, 0:06:31.320 --> 0:06:33.920 I'm not even sure if we're allowed to let someone 0:06:34.000 --> 0:06:39.680 else tweet for us, because likeications into the picture is verified, 0:06:39.920 --> 0:06:43.240 they use their policies to you know, corroborate that it 0:06:43.360 --> 0:06:44.479 is us doing the tweeting. 0:06:44.600 --> 0:06:45.320 So here's the deal. 0:06:45.800 --> 0:06:49.080 I need you to think on the number, and by 0:06:49.120 --> 0:06:51.520 the end of today's show, you need to tell me 0:06:51.560 --> 0:06:53.760 what the number would be for me to buy out 0:06:53.800 --> 0:06:56.599 of the bed. Sweet understood. Okay, all right, there it is. 0:06:56.680 --> 0:06:59.000 Let's go to the next topic. Are we now talking about. 0:06:58.800 --> 0:07:01.320 Luca smoked the Suns? 0:07:01.360 --> 0:07:03.159 And yes they did. 0:07:03.240 --> 0:07:05.320 You've been saying Luca is the best you know or 0:07:05.480 --> 0:07:08.000 second best player in the NBA. So here's your chance 0:07:08.040 --> 0:07:10.240 for a victory lap You did call that, Yes, but 0:07:10.480 --> 0:07:12.560 we got to talk about Chris Paul Man. Oh, you 0:07:12.600 --> 0:07:15.000 can't seem to win in the games that matter. Yeah, 0:07:15.080 --> 0:07:16.720 what's the deal here? All right? 0:07:16.800 --> 0:07:21.440 So Chris Paul was awful after Game two. Yeah, and 0:07:22.920 --> 0:07:27.800 he's thirty seven. He's six feet tall. I'm thirty seven. 0:07:27.880 --> 0:07:30.840 I'm six feet tall. That's young and tall for a 0:07:30.880 --> 0:07:34.320 regular person. That's incredibly old and very short for an 0:07:34.400 --> 0:07:37.760 NBA player. With that said, he was thirty six in 0:07:37.840 --> 0:07:40.560 three hundred and sixty days in games one and two, 0:07:40.880 --> 0:07:45.760 same height, and he just fell apart with me. I 0:07:45.760 --> 0:07:49.640 if one is to believe in basketball gods, they would 0:07:49.720 --> 0:07:55.080 say the basketball gods saw Chris Paul and Devin Booker. 0:07:55.280 --> 0:07:57.880 They saw Chris Paul. Remember after game one, when Chris 0:07:57.880 --> 0:08:00.800 Paul was asked about Luca, he scored forty five and 0:08:00.840 --> 0:08:03.600 Chris pos like, Luca, Yeah, they've got Theo Pinson, They've 0:08:03.600 --> 0:08:05.200 got Jalen Bruns, and they got a lot of good players. 0:08:05.200 --> 0:08:06.120 A little bit of shade. 0:08:06.320 --> 0:08:10.280 Then Game two, Chris Paul and Devin Booker are smirking 0:08:10.480 --> 0:08:13.720 Key Kean and laughing about Luca at the press conference. 0:08:14.120 --> 0:08:16.680 It was two instances of utter disrespect for the great 0:08:16.720 --> 0:08:19.720 Luka Ancic, and the basketball God smited Chris Paul. That 0:08:19.800 --> 0:08:22.400 was only the first instance for Devin Booker. So Devin 0:08:22.440 --> 0:08:25.080 Booker was still smooth sailing. Then what happened Game five? 0:08:25.640 --> 0:08:28.520 Game five, Devin Booker does the Lucas Special thing. Basketball 0:08:28.560 --> 0:08:30.960 God said strike two, you're out, Devin Booker, and they 0:08:31.040 --> 0:08:31.800 smiteed him. 0:08:31.840 --> 0:08:33.200 It's weird how that checks out. 0:08:33.480 --> 0:08:35.960 It does check out. It absolutely checks out. 0:08:36.160 --> 0:08:38.600 The prime for Chris Paul's this this is the fifth 0:08:38.600 --> 0:08:40.160 time he's been up two oh in a series, and 0:08:40.200 --> 0:08:42.920 they've watched he has blown a three to one lead. 0:08:43.400 --> 0:08:45.000 He was up two to oh in the finals. 0:08:46.720 --> 0:08:48.400 People are going to hear in a couple of weeks 0:08:48.559 --> 0:08:51.480 on the top fifty players last fifty years. I listen, 0:08:51.559 --> 0:08:52.839 I have Chris Paul is one of the twenty five 0:08:52.840 --> 0:08:56.559 Greys players last fifty years. He is an all time great. 0:08:56.800 --> 0:09:00.360 It is also true that he has had some rutal 0:09:00.400 --> 0:09:04.200 postseason moments. There's no working around me. I happen to 0:09:04.200 --> 0:09:07.960 believe the guy who deserves more scorn is Booker, because 0:09:08.000 --> 0:09:11.280 Booker was chirping this year that he should have been 0:09:11.320 --> 0:09:12.320 considered for MVP. 0:09:12.920 --> 0:09:14.280 He finished fourth in MVP. 0:09:14.720 --> 0:09:17.840 He's in the prime of his career, and the last 0:09:17.920 --> 0:09:22.560 two games he was awful, flatly awful, the final seven 0:09:22.640 --> 0:09:25.400 quarters of Game six and seven, so everything after the 0:09:25.400 --> 0:09:28.040 first quarter of Game six he had twenty two points 0:09:28.040 --> 0:09:31.800 and eleven turnovers on twenty two percent shooting, didn't make 0:09:31.840 --> 0:09:34.920 a single three. So the bigger thing for Chris is 0:09:34.960 --> 0:09:41.240 this Demons. I think they're done in Fieennix, like I don't. 0:09:41.320 --> 0:09:44.640 The windows closed. The window is flatly closed. I don't 0:09:44.640 --> 0:09:49.040 know if Ayton's going to be back. I wonder if 0:09:49.080 --> 0:09:52.400 they consider, if they ask Chris. Maybe they do bring 0:09:52.440 --> 0:09:55.240 Ayton back, but they trade Chris. Whatever it is, he's 0:09:55.280 --> 0:09:57.080 not going to be better than he was this year. 0:09:57.440 --> 0:09:59.400 He flatly is not going to be better than he 0:09:59.480 --> 0:10:02.640 was this year. He had a golden opportunity. Last year 0:10:02.679 --> 0:10:04.560 he finally got to the finals. They're up two OHO 0:10:04.559 --> 0:10:07.080 in the finals, and then Yannis stole it from him, 0:10:07.679 --> 0:10:12.280 and golden opportunity. This year, team's fully healthy, sixty four 0:10:12.320 --> 0:10:16.480 wins a home court throughout light work in the round 0:10:16.559 --> 0:10:19.520 one or it should have been up too oh, and 0:10:19.559 --> 0:10:22.800 then you collapse, a total collapse, the idea that they're 0:10:22.800 --> 0:10:24.800 gonna have a better chance next year. So I think 0:10:24.880 --> 0:10:27.400 Chris Paul probably into his career with just the one 0:10:27.440 --> 0:10:29.640 finals appearance, you can't cash it in. 0:10:29.679 --> 0:10:30.960 This year, you're not gonna cash it in. 0:10:31.120 --> 0:10:33.200 We would have gotten to see Chris Paul versus Step 0:10:33.240 --> 0:10:34.520 in the playoffs one more time. 0:10:34.800 --> 0:10:35.320 Now we're not. 0:10:35.679 --> 0:10:37.680 So I think it's a wrap. I feel badly for him. 0:10:37.800 --> 0:10:38.640 It is unfortunate. 0:10:38.720 --> 0:10:43.120 You know what's also unfortunate. Speaking of gambling, Lou Wayne 0:10:43.120 --> 0:10:46.360 tried to bet me ten thousand dollars with odds. He 0:10:46.440 --> 0:10:47.640 was gonna give me two and a half to one 0:10:47.720 --> 0:10:51.800 twenty five thousand dollars on this series and I turned 0:10:51.800 --> 0:10:52.360 it down. 0:10:54.400 --> 0:10:56.760 You turned it down, but you were saying the pass 0:10:56.760 --> 0:10:57.240 are gonna win. 0:10:57.400 --> 0:10:58.400 I know, but I didn't. 0:10:58.480 --> 0:11:01.920 I it's like a lo lose, Like either I'm wrong 0:11:01.960 --> 0:11:03.600 and I lose ten thousand dollars. 0:11:04.200 --> 0:11:05.640 It is hard to explain to your mother. 0:11:06.040 --> 0:11:09.120 Or I'm right and Lil Wayne knows me twenty five 0:11:09.200 --> 0:11:12.960 grand I don't you don't want friend zone big money? 0:11:13.120 --> 0:11:18.439 That's a bad okay? Friends, definitely friends, Like you're doubting 0:11:18.480 --> 0:11:21.960 my friendship. Little No, I'm not doubting. He was literally 0:11:21.960 --> 0:11:24.640 texting me. I'm just not doubting his pockets. Lil Wayne 0:11:24.679 --> 0:11:25.720 owing you twenty five. 0:11:26.480 --> 0:11:29.680 He's gonna afford it. But still like what, like it's awkward, 0:11:29.720 --> 0:11:31.800 it's uncomfortable. Oh my god, I promise I was gonna 0:11:31.840 --> 0:11:33.760 hit the elongated clock and now we're short on time. 0:11:33.800 --> 0:11:36.520 All right, what's next? Boston beat Katie and Yannis on 0:11:36.559 --> 0:11:39.080 the way to the Conference finals, yep. Miami beat up 0:11:39.080 --> 0:11:41.400 on Atlanta and Philly, but neither of those wins were 0:11:41.440 --> 0:11:44.480 too impressive. Do you think Boston will be out of 0:11:44.520 --> 0:11:46.120 gas by time Game one comes? 0:11:46.360 --> 0:11:46.480 Or? 0:11:46.600 --> 0:11:48.480 I mean, and also, who do you think will won 0:11:48.520 --> 0:11:50.679 the series overall? All right? I do like Miami in 0:11:50.760 --> 0:11:52.600 Game one. I do think there is an. 0:11:52.520 --> 0:11:54.200 Emotional let down factor. 0:11:54.679 --> 0:11:55.800 The fact that there is not. 0:11:56.040 --> 0:11:58.800 I mean they are playing when people hear and see this, 0:11:58.840 --> 0:12:02.960 They're playing tonight, Tuesday night, they played Sunday. Miami's been 0:12:03.000 --> 0:12:05.720 off for a few days. I think Miami wins Game one. 0:12:06.360 --> 0:12:08.520 I think these games are going to be rock fights. 0:12:08.760 --> 0:12:13.040 These are the two best defenses in basketball. I I 0:12:13.360 --> 0:12:19.240 lean Boston, but I have not fully I lean Boston. 0:12:19.480 --> 0:12:23.880 Not an official pick. I understand that for the podcast listeners. Uh, 0:12:25.320 --> 0:12:27.880 by the time our next podcast is out, the series 0:12:27.880 --> 0:12:30.080 will have gone on. I will put my official pick 0:12:30.160 --> 0:12:33.160 on Twitter because before the Game one, but I need 0:12:33.160 --> 0:12:36.680 to fully deep dive on this. I lean Boston, but 0:12:36.760 --> 0:12:39.360 I also feel like Miami is the most disrespected one 0:12:39.440 --> 0:12:43.439 seed in recent NBA history. They made the finals two 0:12:43.520 --> 0:12:46.480 years ago. Last year they got they got run out 0:12:46.520 --> 0:12:49.439 by Giannis, but Giannis ran everybody out. And this year 0:12:49.440 --> 0:12:52.239 they're the one seed. They have faced hardly any adversity 0:12:52.240 --> 0:12:56.000 in the postseason. If Kyle Lowry gets back, we'll see 0:12:56.040 --> 0:12:56.960 about their full health. 0:12:57.120 --> 0:12:57.840 Big factors. 0:12:58.040 --> 0:13:00.360 That is a big factor. But Gabe mentioned in Truce 0:13:00.400 --> 0:13:04.680 has been good. I don't it's a lot to ask 0:13:04.760 --> 0:13:09.240 if Boston does get there, talk about damn Gauntlet. You 0:13:09.280 --> 0:13:11.760 would have gone to get to the finals, you beat 0:13:12.240 --> 0:13:17.000 Kyrie and Katie, you beat Joannis in round two, and 0:13:17.040 --> 0:13:19.120 then if you beat the number one seed. Here's a 0:13:19.160 --> 0:13:22.520 better not a better question, but a different question. We 0:13:22.559 --> 0:13:25.479 did the big Club superstar thing on first things first, 0:13:25.760 --> 0:13:30.120 if Miami wins, Jimmy Butler must get it, and I 0:13:30.160 --> 0:13:32.040 think I think. 0:13:31.920 --> 0:13:36.199 I got a kick out. Somebody's got to go. Who's 0:13:36.280 --> 0:13:36.640 gonna go? 0:13:37.360 --> 0:13:39.840 I'm not kicking out joh I thought Joe was excellent 0:13:39.920 --> 0:13:42.440 postseason when he played Dame and Kawhi. We gave a 0:13:42.440 --> 0:13:46.080 one year injury reprieve when Tatum just got in. Tatum 0:13:46.080 --> 0:13:47.920 obviously Tatum's going up, not down. 0:13:48.120 --> 0:13:52.640 It is the best possible candidate. I'd honestly what kickout 0:13:52.760 --> 0:13:56.520 Yoka if it injury thing. I'm sorry Dame would have 0:13:56.520 --> 0:14:00.199 to be like Dan, I just revealed to you the 0:14:00.280 --> 0:14:02.679 first one A skeptical Yeah. 0:14:03.360 --> 0:14:05.920 Dame and Dame and I a low key building. 0:14:06.120 --> 0:14:08.640 That's much respect to you. Dave. You were hurt bad, Yeah, 0:14:08.679 --> 0:14:11.920 he was hurt. Taken shots at Dave? All right, last topic, 0:14:11.960 --> 0:14:14.680 what's next? The Warriors didn't seem to take Memphis seriously 0:14:14.679 --> 0:14:17.319 in the last series, so you know everybody's going to 0:14:17.360 --> 0:14:19.720 be going with the MAVs. Now, you're obviously gonna stick 0:14:19.760 --> 0:14:22.480 with your MAVs pig, but you know you gotta be 0:14:22.560 --> 0:14:24.560 worried in some type of way that they're going up 0:14:24.560 --> 0:14:26.920 against Steph. Now, No, I'm not worried at all at all. 0:14:27.280 --> 0:14:29.320 Everyone's not going with the MAVs. The Warriors are huge 0:14:29.360 --> 0:14:32.440 favorites in Vegas, first of all. Second of all, here's 0:14:32.440 --> 0:14:35.400 the problem for the Warriors. They have a Jordan Poole 0:14:35.480 --> 0:14:38.440 problem in this series. Do you think he's the thing 0:14:38.440 --> 0:14:39.400 it's his time? No? 0:14:39.440 --> 0:14:40.840 I just think you can't guard anybody. 0:14:41.160 --> 0:14:45.280 And I think Luca will hunt him in every pick 0:14:45.320 --> 0:14:47.320 and roll, every time down the court. And you might say, Okay, 0:14:47.320 --> 0:14:49.560 they're gonna hide him, but then he'll start hunting step 0:14:49.680 --> 0:14:51.800 and Steph will get in foul trouble. This will be 0:14:51.840 --> 0:14:54.960 a series where at least twice during the series you 0:14:55.040 --> 0:14:57.640 see Steph giving that like quizzical angry look at the 0:14:57.680 --> 0:15:00.000 ref as he goes to the bench with three first 0:15:00.080 --> 0:15:05.400 half bowls, and Jordan Poole is gonna be fresh raw meat. 0:15:07.080 --> 0:15:09.920 I think the MAVs are a better team than the Warriors. 0:15:10.040 --> 0:15:13.000 I think lucas far and away the best player in 0:15:13.040 --> 0:15:16.360 the Western Conference. I've been saying that all postseason. I 0:15:16.480 --> 0:15:18.440 like the MAVs this series. And by the way, if 0:15:18.440 --> 0:15:21.560 it's MAVs Celtics, MAVs one fifty two games, Celtics one 0:15:21.640 --> 0:15:24.160 fifty one, MAVs would have home court for the first 0:15:24.200 --> 0:15:25.120 time since Round one. 0:15:25.320 --> 0:15:27.200 That's the clock. We'll all be right. 0:15:27.080 --> 0:15:30.720 Back, all right. Luca Adontas might be the second best 0:15:30.720 --> 0:15:32.760 player in the NBA, but he has not got enough 0:15:32.760 --> 0:15:34.080 pieces to deal with the Celtics. 0:15:34.080 --> 0:15:38.080 And that's just oh okay, Demonse got to keep that in, guys, 0:15:38.320 --> 0:15:41.760 Demonse getting takes in after the clock, feeling himself. You 0:15:41.760 --> 0:15:44.640 see that confidence, you get one pick right, confidence starts 0:15:44.680 --> 0:15:45.000 to grow. 0:15:45.160 --> 0:15:46.320 Now we'll be right back. 0:15:53.240 --> 0:15:56.000 This episode is brought to you by Unstoppable.

What are we starting with it? 0:17:36.280 --> 0:17:37.919 Welcome back in? By the way, what's right? Nick? Right? 0:17:38.400 --> 0:17:41.240 Podcasts and YouTube show like rate, subscribe review I would 0:17:41.240 --> 0:17:42.000 appreciate if you do. 0:17:42.119 --> 0:17:43.040 So what are you starting with? 0:17:43.119 --> 0:17:46.119 Right here? The NBA announced they are renaming the Eastern 0:17:46.160 --> 0:17:50.080 and Western Conference Finals trophies after Bob Cousy and Oscar 0:17:50.200 --> 0:17:54.119 Robertson YEP Conference mv m v P trophies after Magic 0:17:54.160 --> 0:17:56.080 Johnson and Larry Bird YEP as. 0:17:55.960 --> 0:18:00.280 An amateur NBA story, and I figured amateur? Yeah, what's 0:18:00.280 --> 0:18:01.640 the amateur about my NBC? 0:18:01.920 --> 0:18:04.040 You still got you still got to earn some more strikes? Okay, 0:18:04.040 --> 0:18:07.159 all right, yeah, go ahead? As Yeah, so wait was 0:18:07.240 --> 0:18:09.040 least park as? I don't know, buddy, what was. 0:18:08.960 --> 0:18:09.480 The last part? 0:18:09.520 --> 0:18:09.639 Oh? 0:18:09.720 --> 0:18:11.960 Yeah, no, no, is this the chance that Nick makes it? 0:18:12.040 --> 0:18:14.200 Right? Yeah? Okay, so how am I going to change it? 0:18:14.960 --> 0:18:15.080 So? 0:18:15.119 --> 0:18:15.720 Here's the deal. 0:18:16.760 --> 0:18:17.400 I am not. 0:18:18.880 --> 0:18:22.720 Talking trash on Oscar Robertson so and all the time, 0:18:23.720 --> 0:18:27.399 but Oscar Robertson started for the majority of the beginning 0:18:27.400 --> 0:18:29.040 of his crew. It was this Cincinnati was in the 0:18:29.119 --> 0:18:35.040 Eastern Conference. He only played in three Western Conference finals 0:18:35.320 --> 0:18:39.000 and only one too. Bob Coosey at least went to 0:18:39.200 --> 0:18:44.479 ten Eastern Conference finals, won seven. So I understand naming 0:18:44.920 --> 0:18:48.760 the trophy after him, but Oscar doesn't make sense. They're 0:18:48.760 --> 0:18:51.040 trying to, you know, respect the older generation. 0:18:51.080 --> 0:18:52.359 Okay, Oscar was in the East. 0:18:52.640 --> 0:18:54.040 Oscar was in the East. 0:18:53.800 --> 0:18:56.000 And I was about to say, so if it was 0:18:56.080 --> 0:18:58.640 him and Bob Coosey that was switched definitely, Like if 0:18:58.760 --> 0:19:01.040 Kobe was in the East, I think Kobe Bryant. 0:19:01.119 --> 0:19:03.760 No, But so you're onto something here, by the way. 0:19:03.520 --> 0:19:06.679 So the problem Oscar was in the East and then 0:19:06.680 --> 0:19:08.280 went to the West, and they named the trophy the 0:19:08.280 --> 0:19:10.200 Western Amend Trophy after him. You're saying it to be 0:19:10.240 --> 0:19:12.919 named after Kobe. I have no problem with Larry and 0:19:12.960 --> 0:19:15.160
