Speaker 4: And there's the Box big Game four tonight, and that's

38
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 4: what we're starting with here on today's show. We'll get

39
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 4: to the Kawai news, we'll get to Team USA possibly

40
00:01:57,800 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 4: being back.

41
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 3: We'll get you some.

42
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 4: Juicy shams reports from yesterday. But yeah, tonight, Game four,

43
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 4: the NBA Finals. It's been a while since we've had

44
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 4: a basketball game, but.

45
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 3: Here we go. Everybody knows this.

46
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 4: Teams that take a three to one lead in the

47
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 4: NBA Finals are thirty five and one, so the Suns

48
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:19,919
Speaker 4: can all but maybe ensure a title when the Road

49
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 4: win tonight in Game four. Of course, the Bucks want

50
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 4: to tie things up. So big questions heading into this one. Gentlemen,

51
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 4: tray you get a started. What do you have your

52
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 4: eye on in this pivotal Yeah, let's call it pivotal

53
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 4: game four?

54
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 3: Interesting? Interesting?

55
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 1: That was gonna be my minor question to start things

56
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 1: off here, Skeetz areno, Is this a pivotal game?

57
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:38,959
Speaker 3: Pivotal more so for the Bucks? Yes?

58
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 5: I think right.

59
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:41,799
Speaker 1: You don't want to go down three to one one

60
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 1: man's pivot as another man's.

61
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 6: Oh poll, okay, all right, I don't buy that pivot.

62
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 1: Okay, Oh you said man's okay? But yeah, big game tonight.

63
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 1: And the biggest question for me, no surprise, is about

64
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 1: the biggest guys. And Ski actually got three questions for

65
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 1: one on this very special deal for you. Number one

66
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 1: is Jani's gonna keep playing like Shack? Number two can

67
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:11,919
Speaker 1: Phoenix do anything at all to slow him down? And

68
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 1: number three kind of relates to number two. Is Deandreton

69
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:16,920
Speaker 1: gonna be able to stay out of foul trouble like

70
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 1: he has for the majority of this postseason? Jannis, I

71
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 1: kind of think isn't getting enough shine for how incredible

72
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 1: he's been here in his very first finals back to

73
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 1: back forty and tens shack like numbers. He also had

74
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 1: a twenty and seventeen after twelve days off and having

75
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 1: no idea if the guy's gonna be able to play

76
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 1: basketball again. This is remarkable stuff. He's been the best

77
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 1: player in the finals, even if he's my one B

78
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 1: on my MVP power rankings. But I think you guys

79
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 1: know this. Jannis didn't average forty and ten for the season.

80
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 1: So what is Phoenix gonna do to make it so

81
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 1: that he doesn't put another and forty and ten on him?

82
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 1: My guess it's gonna be a little bit more physicality,

83
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 1: kind of challenging the refs to send Giannis tone. I

84
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 1: think they're gonna double Jannis when he is getting isolation

85
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 1: touches in the post, and I think that the Flops

86
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 1: are gonna be out in full force tonight. Yannis needs

87
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 1: to be prepared for some dastardly actions from Chris Paul

88
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 1: and Jay Crowder when they happen to maybe catch Gianis

89
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:20,719
Speaker 1: in transition or something like that. The Bucks did a

90
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,599
Speaker 1: great job in Game three of getting Giannis the ball

91
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,039
Speaker 1: on the move, whether it be in a screen and

92
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,719
Speaker 1: roll or coming from the side, just giving him in

93
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 1: a chance to attack downhill, and when Giannis is attacking downhill,

94
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 1: he's incredibly tough to stop. And that's why more important

95
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 1: than anything, Phoenix needs DeAndre Ayton to stay on the court.

96
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 1: He has been instrumental to the Sun's run this year.

97
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 1: For the first time in the playoffs. He finally had

98
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 1: foul trouble in Game three, and the Suns looked terrible

99
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 1: when he wasn't out there. I wasn't gonna worry about

100
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:53,159
Speaker 1: their backup center spot until it became a worry, and

101
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 1: in Game three it was a major worry. The backups

102
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,919
Speaker 1: have no chance against Giannis, and it just allows the

103
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 1: Bucks to really play it their strengths and assert their

104
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,039
Speaker 1: size inside skeets. I saw your picture you had on

105
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 1: Twitter today, the Bucks looking absolutely gigantic next to Chris Paul.

106
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:10,839
Speaker 1: When DeAndre Ayton's out there, it just feels like the

107
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:13,839
Speaker 1: Bucks every single player is a foot taller. And that

108
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 1: was the case in Game three. So, yeah, eight and

109
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,359
Speaker 1: being able to stay on the court and hopefully slow

110
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 1: down Yannis has to happen if the Sons are gonna

111
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:23,479
Speaker 1: pivot to a three to one lead.

112
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I think too, I don't think the Suns

113
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 4: would be as upset with five fouls on eight and

114
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 4: if all five were actually on Yannis, but they weren't.

115
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,279
Speaker 4: I think only two of them were in Game three,

116
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:36,480
Speaker 4: and I brought up that one that was on Middleton

117
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 4: that was a little questionable at the end of the

118
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,040
Speaker 4: first half. There's a couple other ones on other guys.

119
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 4: It's one thing to foul Yannis. You're using them, you know,

120
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 4: you're putting them to the line. Yeah you're not here

121
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 4: in the countdown or the count up because you're in Milwaukee.

122
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 4: But it's another one when you're sort of like wasting

123
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 4: them almost on other guys.

124
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 3: So yeah, he's got to stay out there. I think

125
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:55,159
Speaker 3: all eyes will be on that task.

126
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:58,599
Speaker 4: What about you, is it Giannis you're focused on and

127
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:00,599
Speaker 4: how the Sons try and stop him or there are

128
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 4: other things in this pivotal game four.

129
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,159
Speaker 6: Well, I think the Suns have so many things to

130
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:06,839
Speaker 6: work on, and that's what kind of scares me. For

131
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 6: the Bucks, I would have rather them won a close

132
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:13,280
Speaker 6: game where you know there's still some question marks, there's

133
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 6: still some things up in the air, like you know,

134
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 6: at least you know a little bit of mystery going

135
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 6: into game four, but the Suns could go back, you know,

136
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 6: with the extra day off and work on a bunch

137
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:25,720
Speaker 6: of things. Yeah, it's eight and staying on the floor.

138
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 6: Monty Williams said he was going to show aight and

139
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 6: film of how to position his body better against Yanis's

140
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:34,839
Speaker 6: drives and where he can take charges, so you know,

141
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 6: that's something they can focus on. Devin Booker came coming

142
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 6: back from a ten point performance, and Aydan said this

143
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 6: about Booker after game three. He said, quote, he gets

144
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 6: pretty scary after a bad game, just knowing his mentality

145
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:50,600
Speaker 6: and knowing that games like that don't really slow him down.

146
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 6: That via ESPN and Dave McManamon are bro there. So

147
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:58,720
Speaker 6: I think those couple things have the Suns kind of

148
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 6: have going for them, you know. I know Manty Williams,

149
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 6: you know, came out and talked about the whistle a

150
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:07,480
Speaker 6: little bit without talking about the whistle. There's some stuff

151
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 6: going on there. There's that one guy who had seventeen

152
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 6: free throw attempts on the other side, but Yiannis is

153
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 6: going to get his free throw attempts. The thing is

154
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 6: that the Phoenix Suns want to be more physical, you know,

155
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 6: as Trey sort of said, there. They got to get

156
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 6: up from the jump, and they do that four and

157
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 6: zero in the first half this postseason against the spread.

158
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 6: After a loss, they come back and they fight back,

159
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 6: and I think it's it's not so much just about

160
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 6: you know, getting the calls. It is about, you know,

161
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 6: fighting back. It is about getting to their spots a

162
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 6: little bit more on the offensive end.

163
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 5: It was. It was a strange game.

164
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 6: Again, the blowout is something that they can look at

165
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 6: a billity of things. Like Chris Paul said, you know,

166
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 6: I had those four turnovers.

167
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 5: It's not me. You know, he's done. He's had a big.

168
00:07:56,000 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 6: Turnover number in two straight games. He can try and correct.

169
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 6: The Suns didn't have a single corner three in Game three.

170
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 6: That's weird. They hit ten in Game two. So that's

171
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 6: that's something that they're going to be focusing on. So

172
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 6: this like, there's a billion things I think for the Suns,

173
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 6: and I think they're they're going to be pretty locked in.

174
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 6: That's the scary part for the Bucks. For me right

175
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 6: from the get go.

176
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 4: Speaking with Booker there, he had that ten point performance

177
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 4: in Game three, which is brutal, but you know, the

178
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 4: stats back it up that he generally bounces back pass

179
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 4: in the eleven games Booker has played this season after

180
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 4: a game in which he shot thirty five percent or

181
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 4: worse from the field, so a really bad shooting game.

182
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:35,319
Speaker 4: He averaged nearly twenty four points per game on forty

183
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 4: four percent shooting and the Suns went nine and two.

184
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:40,320
Speaker 4: That's probably the most important stat. So he generally does

185
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 4: bounce back. Now, all that said, Drew Holliday, he's locked

186
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:44,839
Speaker 4: his ass up in this series when he's been on

187
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 4: him two for eleven Booker is when Drew's the main defender,

188
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 4: and then when Giannis ever gets matched up on him,

189
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 4: it's even worse.

190
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 3: He's only one for six.

191
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,080
Speaker 4: So we'll see if they can continue that, you know,

192
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:55,440
Speaker 4: strong physical play and getting their main defenders on him,

193
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 4: and whether Booker can break free. You would expect he

194
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:00,440
Speaker 4: does have a better game than a ten point performance

195
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:02,479
Speaker 4: where he wasn't even playing in the fourth quarterly.

196
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 7: Yes, for sure, And I thought, for the first time

197
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,439
Speaker 7: probably all playoffs, he actually took a couple of lazy shots,

198
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 7: I thought in that Game three, and perhaps that was

199
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:11,960
Speaker 7: a little bit of him just thinking, like, you know

200
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 7: what we're up to, Neil. This has all gone pretty smoothly.

201
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 7: I'm going to get my shots and going to hit

202
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 7: them soon. But it didn't happen for him. So yes,

203
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:19,440
Speaker 7: I do expect him to come out a little bit

204
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 7: more focused than Monty primpt but probably try to get

205
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:22,839
Speaker 7: him some of that stuff a little bit closer to

206
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 7: the basket as well, a couple of those mid rangers

207
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 7: that have been very effective for him all season and

208
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 7: in the playoffs. But I'm actually going to sort of

209
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 7: look at the other guy for the Bucks here because

210
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 7: I was talking about Yarnis, and I do expect him

211
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 7: to get a lot more attention. And Chris Middleton had

212
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:39,320
Speaker 7: twenty nine points in Game one, but it was in

213
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 7: that loss that wasn't all that close. I'm expecting him

214
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 7: to actually have a Chris Middleton game like we saw

215
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 7: against Atlanta Hawks a couple of times, really Game three

216
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 7: and then in Game six in Atlanta, where Chris Middleton was,

217
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 7: you know, probably the best player on the floor.

218
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 3: You're seeing the Ferris Wheels rich Well, listen, listen.

219
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 7: Chris Middleton has scored eighteen points, eleven points and eighteen

220
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 7: points in his last two games, and he's never gone

221
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 7: in the playoffs. Three games in a row without scoring

222
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:05,959
Speaker 7: twenty points.

223
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:06,679
Speaker 8: So based on.

224
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 3: That, you go goes. It's perfect, you know.

225
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 7: And that's the thing I think Budenholz, I think the

226
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:15,559
Speaker 7: Bucks are saying, listen, we expect the Suns to come

227
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 7: out tonight and not let Yan make it as hard

228
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 7: as we had as possible we can.

229
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:21,840
Speaker 8: So that means a little bit more defensive attention, Chris,

230
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 8: it's your time.

231
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 3: He's due.

232
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 7: He's definitely due for a Chris Middleton. You know, like

233
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:28,599
Speaker 7: say twenty nine points in game one, Okay, that's sort of,

234
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 7: you know, good numbers, but it didn't really have the impact,

235
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 7: like the thirty eight points he had against the Hawks,

236
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 7: all the thirty two points there in Game six.

237
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:36,559
Speaker 8: So you feel that like he is due to have.

238
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:38,679
Speaker 7: A great, big, strong performance in front of his home

239
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 7: fans there because the Bucks needed as well. They can't really,

240
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 7: you know, I mean, Yannis probably can go for forty

241
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 7: to ten and they can win this series.

242
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:47,079
Speaker 8: But you would like to see the.

243
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 7: Suns have to figure out how to defend another guy

244
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:52,559
Speaker 7: and how to have to deal with another guy who

245
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 7: can go out there and give them some points.

246
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 8: So that's what I'm looking for tonight.

247
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 7: I think he is due I think Chris Middleton, you know,

248
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 7: if he can get a few shots early, or if

249
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 7: he can have one of those quarters where he takes

250
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:04,439
Speaker 7: over again like we saw against the Hawks, that can

251
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:07,959
Speaker 7: really swing a game for the Milwaukee Bucks. So if

252
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 7: he's quiet tonight, it's probably not a good sign for Milwaukee.

253
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 7: If he has a big game, then I think that's

254
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:15,720
Speaker 7: a really strong sign that they can even this series up.

255
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:16,480
Speaker 8: But we'll see.

256
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:18,680
Speaker 7: Because he's a bit of a frustrating player. I mean,

257
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 7: you guys know Skeetzy, especially you. Sometimes it's like this

258
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 7: guy is not an All Star and other times like,

259
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 7: oh hew, did we leave him off the All Star

260
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 7: team this year?

261
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:28,560
Speaker 8: He's brilliant, so we know he can do it.

262
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:30,760
Speaker 7: There's no question he's got the capabilities to do it

263
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 7: out there, and tonight would be a great time for

264
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 7: him to do it for his team.

265
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 4: As for like the all eyes on Yannis sort of

266
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 4: game plan, you hope that Butt and the Bucks continue

267
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 4: to put him in screen and roll action that worked

268
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:45,840
Speaker 4: incredibly well in Game three, a bunch of different guys

269
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 4: setting the picks for him as the ball handler, and

270
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:50,079
Speaker 4: then him of course setting the picks too, and then

271
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 4: rolling in a space you already talked about that they'd

272
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 4: be silly not to continue to do that.

273
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 3: Because that was so successful.

274
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 4: It's so much better than Yannis isoing at the top

275
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 4: and then yeah, now you can actually build a wall.

276
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:05,200
Speaker 4: But I will say in game three, when the guy's

277
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 4: all converged on you, honest, I thought he did an

278
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 4: awesome job task of like passing to a bunch of

279
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:12,200
Speaker 4: Bucks players that were like cutting back door just under

280
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:13,840
Speaker 4: the rim. He had like I remember like two or

281
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:17,680
Speaker 4: three just like beautiful passes where there's so much attention

282
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 4: on him of trying to slow him down and get

283
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 4: in front of him, and there was little little like

284
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 4: little cracks that were opening the defense and they just

285
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:26,440
Speaker 4: like flooded into the behind him and he can make

286
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:26,960
Speaker 4: that pass now.

287
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 3: I think like that's the big difference.

288
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 4: To me of when the Raptor slowed him down with

289
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 4: the Kawhi back in a couple of years ago. It

290
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:35,840
Speaker 4: was like, I don't think he really was that comfortable

291
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:37,559
Speaker 4: as a playmaker at that point of his career. And

292
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:39,320
Speaker 4: I think he's added that and I think the Bucks

293
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:41,720
Speaker 4: know that, So I wonder if that continues here in

294
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 4: game four.

295
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:45,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, no doubt and I think the when he gets

296
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 6: the ball is just as important. Like if you come

297
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 6: down the floor and you're you're playing Joel Embiid style

298
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 6: where he's on the low block and we're all just

299
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:57,319
Speaker 6: focusing on Yannis, then you can take away his sight lines.

300
00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 6: You can you can mob him real quick with a

301
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 6: cup guys and build that wall. But if you come

302
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 6: down and the actions on the other side, and then

303
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 6: the ball swings and Yannis all of a sudden is

304
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 6: ducking in on the post and he gets the ball

305
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 6: and it's one on one, Yeah, he's he's definitely developed

306
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:16,840
Speaker 6: enough speed with his with his decisions, Yeah, he's he's changed.

307
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 6: And then he's he's got the ability to float in

308
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 6: your danks and dumps and he and he's the push shots.

309
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 5: Uh, he's gotten so much better.

310
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:26,960
Speaker 6: But all those passes with the little cracks and the

311
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:28,960
Speaker 6: defense there were happening with DeAndre eight and off the

312
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:30,960
Speaker 6: floor a lot of the lot of yea yeah, and

313
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 6: so the you know that big man's got to be

314
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:35,360
Speaker 6: there and that that plays a big part. They were

315
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 6: playing volleyball at times with DeAndre eight and off the floor,

316
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 6: they've got nobody, you know, even close to guard Yannis especially,

317
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 6: you know with with Dario sarich Out, who's who's a

318
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:48,080
Speaker 6: tough six nine dude.

319
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 5: So that's that's the thing. I mean, Aiden, it looked like.

320
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 6: A great eight in game in Game three, he was

321
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 6: rolling to start and and he had only one fouls.

322
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:01,559
Speaker 3: To couple there like fifteen footers.

323
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 5: He was showing the repertoire.

324
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, and and he only had one foul all the

325
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 6: way until the minute thirty mark of the second quarter

326
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:11,920
Speaker 6: when he got you know three basically in three minutes

327
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:15,080
Speaker 6: of game time, bank bank bang, And that sent him

328
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 6: to the bench, and Monty probably would play him more

329
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 6: if if he could go back, I'm sure Monty would

330
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 6: would swing him out more. And then you know, he

331
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 6: sat eight and then he set Devin Booker in the

332
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 6: fourth quarter, and Devin Booker is getting the itch there.

333
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 6: You could see him getting a little feisty on the bench.

334
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 6: He wanted to be out there. So I'm looking forward

335
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 6: to Devin Booker in Q one, and even before quarter one,

336
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 6: I think he's going to come in with the same

337
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 6: baggy outfits that he's been coming in off.

338
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's his that's his thing.

339
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 6: Like our man, Chay Serrano says, that's his Chicano Look,

340
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 6: you know that's his that's his Mexican roots coming through.

341
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 6: You know, his little b real thing going on. Like

342
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 6: he's just he's he's still mess with that dude. I

343
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 6: think he's coming in ready to go.

344
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 4: Here's this Chris Paul photo that you brought up, Trey.

345
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 4: I think it was that I tweeted this morning. I

346
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 4: couldn't believe it what I saw it. It just looks

347
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:10,080
Speaker 4: incredible because you got the two giants and Giannis and

348
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 4: Brook and I know they're jumping, so it makes them

349
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 4: look even taller.

350
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 3: But like, I'm not like you. I mean, Chris Maul

351
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 3: looks like Muggsy Bogues here. Yeah, well he's small in

352
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 3: the NBA, but he doesn't come up to waist.

353
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 4: There's a wild photo there for everybody on the stream team.

354
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 4: I know you listeners are like, what the hell are

355
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 4: you guys looking at? Well and go check my Twitter account.

356
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 4: It's a crazy photo of Chris Paul is just a

357
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 4: weird angle. And the Bucks guys who are much bigger,

358
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 4: mind you just look ten times the size of Chris Paul.

359
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 4: So your right face from Chris Paul as well. Yeah,

360
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 4: just like, whoa, what these guys are? Yeah, but it

361
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:45,480
Speaker 4: is weird that he has what is it combined ten

362
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 4: turnovers in the last two games that you said, test

363
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 4: six and then four and in games two and three.

364
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 3: That is well.

365
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 4: And the blocks are like a killer transition team, Like

366
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:55,920
Speaker 4: they score in transition almost every time. It's like can

367
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:57,320
Speaker 4: you get him into a half court set and see

368
00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 4: if you can slow them down there? So those are

369
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 4: actually big. I don't know how many were of the

370
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 4: live ball variety. I'm not a sickle like John Schuman

371
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 4: counting all those. So Shuman, if you're in the stream team,

372
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:08,720
Speaker 4: let us know. But you know, Chris Paul, that's a

373
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 4: lot for him. Ten over two games. It's usually like

374
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,600
Speaker 4: one maybe two. So I'm sure series.

375
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 7: Wasn't it against the against the likers of the Nuggets

376
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 7: bapt he only had one or two series?

377
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 8: Yeah?

378
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, so and you know that's again credit game three,

379
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:24,840
Speaker 4: Drew Holiday was on him a lot more and there's

380
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 4: more pressure there, so we'll see.

381
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 3: I'm excited.

382
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:29,360
Speaker 4: Like zach loow I listened to him, talked to Kevin

383
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 4: Arnoviitz on his podcast this morning, and.

384
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 3: Lowe's just talking it into existence.

385
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 4: Man speaking it into existence that tonight's game is going

386
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 4: to be like maybe the maybe the game of the finals,

387
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 4: you know, the classic one, because it's got like all

388
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 4: the recipes are there, LEEI there you add up all

389
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 4: the points scored in this series. I think the Suns

390
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 4: have them by three overall a cumulative. We haven't had

391
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 4: like a close, close game yet. You know, we think

392
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 4: a book are going to bounce back. Who knows if

393
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 4: Jannis goes for forty ten again, you know, maybe we

394
00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 4: get the Middleton at the top of the Ferris Wheel game.

395
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 4: I think, right, I really do, something in my gut

396
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 4: says this could be like we're gonna be back here

397
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:08,480
Speaker 4: tomorrow morning talking about, oh, could you believe that game

398
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:10,679
Speaker 4: winner or that crazy play at the end, Like it

399
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 4: could be a one possession, two possession game here.

400
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:14,200
Speaker 3: It's I think it's in store.

401
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 7: I hope so, because, as I said after Game three,

402
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,400
Speaker 7: it wasn't like the Suns just sort of mailed it in.

403
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:21,879
Speaker 7: The Bucks went out and won this game. You know,

404
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:23,639
Speaker 7: they went out and they had a blueprint to go

405
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 7: out and beat the Suns and it worked for them.

406
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 7: And I think that's a thing with Bodenholes that they know, obviously,

407
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 7: if they lose tonight, they have to go out to

408
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 7: win in Phoenix in Game five and then potentially in

409
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 7: Game seven if they can stretch it out, whereas a

410
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 7: win tonight can potentially make Game five the most pivotal.

411
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:39,960
Speaker 8: Game in this entire series.

412
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 3: Oh my god.

413
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:44,120
Speaker 7: I mean, these things are obviously, you know, the outcomes

414
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:46,280
Speaker 7: of what happens a three one up teams, It's only

415
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 7: ever happened one time because it just doesn't very often happen.

416
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:51,920
Speaker 7: But for Milwaukee, you know, Yannis is not hurt at all.

417
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 7: He's playing fantastic basketball, and you feel like there is

418
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:58,400
Speaker 7: a Drew Holiday game, or a Middle To game, or hell,

419
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:00,879
Speaker 7: maybe even a Brin Forbes game out. We've seen a

420
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:03,240
Speaker 7: couple of those in the playoffs.

421
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:06,920
Speaker 4: Bounced from Yeah, looks getting his minutes.

422
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:07,200
Speaker 1: At this point.

423
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 7: Yeah yeah, Look, and Tea had a couple of okay

424
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:11,440
Speaker 7: minutes against Atlanta Hawks.

425
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:12,399
Speaker 8: That's all I say about him.

426
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:15,399
Speaker 7: But you know, the thing is, the thing is, you know,

427
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 7: when you have a player like Yannis who's like, man,

428
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:20,919
Speaker 7: they can't actually stop me. You know, if I just

429
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:23,720
Speaker 7: if every basket he made was in the paint in

430
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:26,240
Speaker 7: Game three and he's like, hang on a minute, I

431
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:28,480
Speaker 7: can just do that again tonight. And why would it

432
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 7: be any different. Why wouldn't they keep failing me. I'm

433
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:32,960
Speaker 7: not afraid to go to through. Give me twenty five

434
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,240
Speaker 7: free throws if you want, I'll take them all. That's

435
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:36,560
Speaker 7: gonna be the way we're going to have to win

436
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:38,879
Speaker 7: this game and even this series. Then that's what we'll do.

437
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:41,320
Speaker 8: And I just hope that that's what the Bucks do.

438
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:43,400
Speaker 7: That's how they approach this game, and it's not Yanni's

439
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:46,040
Speaker 7: settling a little bit sometimes to those mid rangers or

440
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:48,320
Speaker 7: even the three pointers. If he can really step on

441
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 7: the throat of the Suns inside and get them frustrated

442
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 7: and bothered, then I think the Bucks that's their best

443
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 7: chance of evening this thing up.

444
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 4: I think they I think both coaches could look at

445
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:00,919
Speaker 4: this game as like, honestly the win game, and I

446
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 4: think that maybe will be represented in the minutes for

447
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:05,639
Speaker 4: some of the star players. The benches are short to

448
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 4: begin with both sides. There's not a lot of guys

449
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 4: at this point, but we could see I think, task

450
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:13,760
Speaker 4: some insane minutes. I think we should actually from the

451
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 4: star players in this both money Williams going with his

452
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:18,439
Speaker 4: guys might be more than he would normally, and then

453
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 4: I think you're honest, are sorry, but with some of

454
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:23,399
Speaker 4: his bucks, like Jannis especially, like this is the one

455
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 4: for both teams. I really truly believe that this is

456
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:27,639
Speaker 4: a massive, massive game, And I wonder if the coaches

457
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:28,800
Speaker 4: will lean into that minute one.

458
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's a good point, but has already been doing

459
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:35,440
Speaker 6: that with his rotation, and you can't go three one down.

460
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 6: And the fact that the Suns had two of their

461
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:41,639
Speaker 6: major guys play in the twenty minute marks with Ayton

462
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:43,919
Speaker 6: and Booker, plus you have an extra day off here,

463
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 6: two days off. Yeah, that that would lead you to

464
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 6: believe that they're going for with their minutes. Yeah, I'm

465
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:52,440
Speaker 6: with you, And I think everybody expecting a really really

466
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:55,480
Speaker 6: good game is because we haven't had both teams play

467
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 6: amazing on the same night so far in this series,

468
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:01,400
Speaker 6: and we're just waiting for. We're we like to analyze

469
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:03,359
Speaker 6: and we like to think we're smart. I definitely like

470
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 6: to think I'm smart, But I mean when you you

471
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:10,040
Speaker 6: see those first three games, I mean we're we're waiting for, Yeah, Middleton,

472
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:13,160
Speaker 6: Drew and Yiannis to play great on one night and

473
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 6: then you know, Aighton and Booker and Paul and everybody

474
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 6: hit threes on the same night. Like Game two, we

475
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:22,399
Speaker 6: saw the beautiful Suns basketball, those ten corner threes with

476
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 6: mckel bridges coming through with a monster game. We want

477
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:29,919
Speaker 6: that and we want game three from the Bucks tonight.

478
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:31,120
Speaker 5: That's what we're looking for.

479
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:34,240
Speaker 6: And if if they go down three to one, if

480
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 6: the Bucks go down three to one, they would be

481
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:40,320
Speaker 6: smart to send me to Phoenix for Game five because

482
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:42,760
Speaker 6: the only time a team has come back from three

483
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:44,960
Speaker 6: to one in NBA history. I was in the building

484
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 6: in Game five, so be smart, Yeah, be smart about

485
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:48,720
Speaker 6: it and send me there.

486
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 5: And I was. I was mister smart guy then.

487
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:54,440
Speaker 6: Thinking, oh, Draymond Green suspended that Warriors can handle this,

488
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 6: Come on, right, the Warriors can and they can handle

489
00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:59,080
Speaker 6: game six right, and they can handle Game seven, right,

490
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:02,760
Speaker 6: So yeah, that's that's just too tall. Attast though against

491
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 6: this Suns team. The Sun team bounces back. So this

492
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,640
Speaker 6: is this feels like the series tonight should be good.

493
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:09,399
Speaker 3: All right, let's get you.

494
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 1: I like the idea of taking the other side of

495
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 1: this take Okay, No, I want a shitty game for tonight.

496
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 1: I want a big time blowout. Who's gonna say that.

497
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 1: I'm willing it into an existence. A forty point win

498
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 1: by the Milwaukee Bucks.

499
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 3: WHOA wow?

500
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:24,159
Speaker 5: All right?

501
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think we all want to see a great

502
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:29,480
Speaker 1: finals game tonight. Is there anybody in danger of being

503
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:32,639
Speaker 1: suspended for the final games of this series? Cause that

504
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 1: was a big time change up during that task game.

505
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:39,120
Speaker 3: I don't know. I'm telling you. I'm telling you there's gonna.

506
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:41,359
Speaker 1: Be some fireworks, but I don't know if it's gonna

507
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:43,199
Speaker 1: be any of the big three on either side.

508
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:45,440
Speaker 3: But something's going down with these foes. Well, if you.

509
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 4: Said, if you expect, I was gonna say, if you

510
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:49,680
Speaker 4: expect some flopping to be happening, there's gonna be some frustration.

511
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:50,639
Speaker 3: There's gonna be.

512
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:53,840
Speaker 4: Some yeah, some knees and mid sections and stuff like that,

513
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:57,200
Speaker 4: and people maybe stepping over guys. It's possible, I guess

514
00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 4: if you think, if you actually think the Suns are

515
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 4: gonna try and flop a little bit on your honest drives,

516
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 4: which I think you're maybe right. You give it a

517
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 4: go one or two, see if you get the whistle. Yeah, okay, fireworks.

518
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:10,000
Speaker 4: I don't want a forty point blowout. I do want

519
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:11,919
Speaker 4: a close game exactly exactly.

520
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 3: It's an undefeated.

521
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:15,280
Speaker 1: It's an unbeatable take to say you want to see

522
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:16,640
Speaker 1: a good basketball game happen.

523
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't think.

524
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 3: It's even like we want to see it.

525
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:21,400
Speaker 4: But it feels like it's sort of maybe just due

526
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:23,880
Speaker 4: because we haven't had a really really close game yet

527
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 4: down the stretch, and these teams are so evenly matched.

528
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:28,600
Speaker 4: We saw it in the regular season. You know again,

529
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:30,639
Speaker 4: you add up all the points, they are fairly matched.

530
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:33,280
Speaker 4: It just makes sense that we're due for one. I

531
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 4: guess is not a classic yet. Yeah, not a classic yet,

532
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:38,159
Speaker 4: that's right. Some classic performances from you, honest, but not

533
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:39,800
Speaker 4: a classic yet. So I think we get it tonight

534
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:43,640
Speaker 4: player prop bet. We always do this heading into these games. Lee,

535
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 4: You always tell us who's going to hit the first shot,

536
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:47,959
Speaker 4: and you're never right. But what do you have your

537
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:50,520
Speaker 4: eye on tonight player prop bets? You fired it up

538
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:51,880
Speaker 4: on bet? MGM, what do you I did?

539
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:52,200
Speaker 5: Yeah?

540
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:54,119
Speaker 7: Well, you know, like I was scrolling through it and

541
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 7: then I thought, you know what, I've put too much

542
00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:59,159
Speaker 7: preparation and thought into it before. I'm not gonna do

543
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:01,879
Speaker 7: that today. I'm going to do this spur of the

544
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 7: moment right here, right now, See if I have a

545
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:04,600
Speaker 7: little bit more luck.

546
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:06,800
Speaker 8: All right, so I'm opening it up here. Okay, what

547
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:07,920
Speaker 8: have we got? What have we got?

548
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:12,400
Speaker 7: Okay, Yanna's first basket Bucks win eight dollars fifty Yeah, that's.

549
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:13,440

550
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 7: You want to lea You want a little bit of

551
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:17,280
Speaker 7: seduced there, don't you. Let's go down a little bit further,

552
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 7: book a first basket Soun's win seventeen dollars. I don't

553
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:22,199
Speaker 7: want that to happen. You don't want to bet on

554
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:24,359
Speaker 7: something you don't want, because then you're betting against yourself.

555
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:25,720
Speaker 7: You want something you want to happen.

556
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:25,920
Speaker 5: Win.

557
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:26,680
Speaker 3: So I'm going for a.

558
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 8: Bucks win here.

559
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:30,920
Speaker 7: Let's see, let's see Bucks win Jay crowd of first

560
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 7: basket Bucks win or I don't mind that one, don't

561
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:35,720
Speaker 7: mind that lasket?

562
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:39,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, the bus the Bucks.

563
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 8: Yeah, twenty three dollars you're getting for that.

564
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:44,240
Speaker 7: Because Jake Crowder he hits six in Game three, I

565
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 7: think three point Now, this doesn't even have to be

566
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 7: a three.

567
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:49,159
Speaker 8: This can be just like a scrappy basket. That's a

568
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:50,359
Speaker 8: classic J crowd.

569
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 3: Likely it's going to be a three crowd.

570
00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:54,040
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, you can get a J. Crowd a

571
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 7: three pointer alone for nineteen dollars. But I think, I think,

572
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:01,639
Speaker 7: I think, I think, in the essence of what we

573
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:03,960
Speaker 7: want for tonight, a good game, I think the Sons have.

574
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:06,439
Speaker 8: To get the first basket. Says like, Okay, they're lucky,

575
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:07,159
Speaker 8: they're lucky.

576
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:08,880
Speaker 3: Oh well lucky.

577
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 8: You know, Jay Crowd is going to be the guy

578
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:11,639
Speaker 8: Devin Booker.

579
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:13,240
Speaker 7: We don't want to get him off early, so there's

580
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 7: going to be a lot of defensive attention on him.

581
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 7: Chris Paul, he's going to be looking to pass early.

582
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 7: I think Jae Crowder is the beneficiary here, so give

583
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 7: me j Crowd. Our first basket doesn't have to be

584
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:26,080
Speaker 7: a three Milwaukee Bucks win, and you will collect.

585
00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:29,880
Speaker 8: Twenty three big ones for every dollar you lay out there.

586
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:33,320
Speaker 3: So what cold were someone put that?

587
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:36,720
Speaker 8: Make that bet? Put put ten bucks in it, ten

588
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:37,400
Speaker 8: bucks and you're.

589
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 3: Going to win when I don't do it.

590
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:40,560
Speaker 8: Oh yeah, I don't think you should gamble.

591
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:44,439
Speaker 7: But anyway, listen, if I did, if I did do

592
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:46,200
Speaker 7: any of my bets, I'd be in the hole quite

593
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:49,359
Speaker 7: a bit. So I'm glad I'm deming with no money

594
00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:51,800
Speaker 7: at all here. But that's what I want. I want

595
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 7: it to be like Ja Crowder. Yes, to be a bang,

596
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:57,600
Speaker 7: wouldn't it from Mike Mike Brien Ja Crowder on the

597
00:24:57,600 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 7: first possess?

598
00:24:58,440 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 8: Yeah, okay, yeah, give me a bang.

599
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 7: J crowd of three Sun's basket bucks win the game.

600
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:06,160
Speaker 7: I think you spend that money.

601
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:07,080
Speaker 8: If you're I will.

602
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:10,439
Speaker 4: Give you one hundred dollars if Bing bangs on the

603
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:11,200
Speaker 4: first shot.

604
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:13,400
Speaker 3: This is what we want, this is what we want.

605
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:16,000
Speaker 8: Everyone's going to be locked in for that first basket today.

606
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:18,359
Speaker 4: I think he is a little more loosey goosey with

607
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:19,679
Speaker 4: what he throws a bang on now.

608
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I throw it on the first first three putter.

609
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 7: Yeah yeah, unless it's like just a what what would

610
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:28,880
Speaker 7: it take to get a bang on the first basket?

611
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 3: Like a first basket bang?

612
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:32,400
Speaker 8: Impossible?

613
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:33,680
Speaker 3: I think it's impossible.

614
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:35,840
Speaker 5: More point play from.

615
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:38,880
Speaker 7: Fifty years Yeah, one of those ones that's like as

616
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 7: a shot clock running down, it's a heave.

617
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:45,840
Speaker 4: Yeah okay, yeah, even then, I don't think he would

618
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:48,399
Speaker 4: do it like more shock.

619
00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:49,679
Speaker 3: Probably not.

620
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:52,200
Speaker 7: But anyway, I like this bet. I feel good about

621
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:54,400
Speaker 7: this one tonight. I feel real good about this one.

622
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:56,919
Speaker 4: Okay, Well, let me go to the other guys before

623
00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,520
Speaker 4: I get your your player of propbets. So I just

624
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:02,639
Speaker 4: saw that the yannest line TK is thirty four and

625
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 4: a half points.

626
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:06,439
Speaker 3: Is that a That's that's interesting right?

627
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 4: Obviously going for forty plus in the last two thirty

628
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:11,240
Speaker 4: four and a half, they've bumped it down pretty significantly.

629
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:14,359
Speaker 4: Is he over or under? Y honest tonight? Does the

630
00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:16,919
Speaker 4: Sons do a better job of containing him? Does he

631
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 4: MAKEE me struggle at the lion again?

632
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:19,360
Speaker 3: Interesting?

633
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:20,440
Speaker 1: Uh?

634
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 3: Well, Lee, I think actually skates.

635
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:25,760
Speaker 1: I'll start by saying, I'm gonna go under for Jannis

636
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:29,040
Speaker 1: thirty four and a half tonight, but just like Lee,

637
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:30,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do it with.

638
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:31,800
Speaker 3: A crazy parlay.

639
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:35,359
Speaker 1: I actually ran Lee's parlay by my gambling consultant, and

640
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:44,240
Speaker 1: this I couldn't believe what he was suggesting Jay Crowder three.

641
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:49,840
Speaker 1: But I'll hit doing cams parlay Yannis under thirty four

642
00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:53,679
Speaker 1: and a half and Chris Middleton over twenty four and

643
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 1: a half. Okay, I've got my ticket on the Middleton

644
00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:59,360
Speaker 1: Ferris wheel. And Lee, you made me want to buy

645
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:01,600
Speaker 1: extra to gets when you mentioned that stat that he

646
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:06,000
Speaker 1: hasn't had three straight games under twenty points. We said

647
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:09,359
Speaker 1: it before. Game two was bad for Chris Middleton. That

648
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:12,720
Speaker 1: was the loading phase games solid game.

649
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:15,640
Speaker 4: Oh sorry, was on firing at the start of game three,

650
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 4: he really tailed That's right.

651
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:17,960
Speaker 3: That's right, he tailed off at the end.

652
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 1: That means we're reaching that peak tonight in game four,

653
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:22,640
Speaker 1: probably right.

654
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:23,479
Speaker 3: Bad news Bears.

655
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 1: I would say, if you are the Bucks looking in

656
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:27,159
Speaker 1: game five, you might not want to be in that

657
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:30,439
Speaker 1: zone game six, don't want not be. But for tonight,

658
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:34,000
Speaker 1: take the over on Middleton, the under on Giannis and

659
00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:42,080
Speaker 1: you will be laughing. Player props looking good.

660
00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:44,879
Speaker 3: He loves this. Jess, what do you got today? What

661
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:45,959
Speaker 3: are you putting your coin on?

662
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:50,280
Speaker 6: Well, I think a smart bet for camp Stewart and everybody.

663
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:53,119
Speaker 6: It's not a prop, but they are. The Suns are

664
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:55,480
Speaker 6: a perfect four no against the spread in the first

665
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:59,560
Speaker 6: half this season. After a loss this postseason, I should say,

666
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:02,919
Speaker 6: after they lose four and oh first half. I got

667
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:05,560
Speaker 6: that from a man, Alex koaloj at the score and

668
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:08,679
Speaker 6: I'm buying it. I'm buying it for sure. And you

669
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 6: know we talked about mister Bryn Forbes coming off the

670
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:14,400
Speaker 6: bench for the Milwaukee Bucks. I was a big Brent

671
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:19,080
Speaker 6: Forbes guy. Before the season, but he has slowly been

672
00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:21,639
Speaker 6: taken out of the rotation. So Pat Connaton over and

673
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:24,760
Speaker 6: over and over has been getting shot after shot after shot.

674
00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:28,320
Speaker 6: His line for threes in this game is one and

675
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:28,840
Speaker 6: a half.

676
00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:29,760
Speaker 5: He's hit.

677
00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:32,600
Speaker 6: He's hit two and four in the last couple of games.

678
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:36,280
Speaker 6: So I think you go over. I think that's you know,

679
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:39,520
Speaker 6: Will we get a cold Pat Conon game. Possible, But

680
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:42,280
Speaker 6: I think I think you roll with it, especially if

681
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:45,400
Speaker 6: their Bucks are tightening the rotation, especially if the Suns

682
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:48,160
Speaker 6: are playing defense. This is the guy that will be

683
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 6: left open. So one and a half it's not a lot.

684
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:52,080
Speaker 6: He's done at the last couple of games, so over

685
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:52,959
Speaker 6: one and a half threes.

686
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:54,239
Speaker 3: Love it all? Right?

687
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:57,040
Speaker 4: We have some news regarding one of the star players

688
00:28:57,040 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 4: in the league. We now know why Kawhi Leonard missed

689
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:02,200
Speaker 4: the last eight games of the Clippers playoff run against

690
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:04,280
Speaker 4: the Jazz and then the Suns. He suffered a partial

691
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:06,840
Speaker 4: tear of his ACL Yeah. The Clippers announced in a

692
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:09,800
Speaker 4: two sentence press release on Tuesday that Kawhi had successful

693
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 4: surgery to repair the injury. Only by the way had

694
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:17,120
Speaker 4: previously called it a sprained knee. It was more than that,

695
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:20,400
Speaker 4: of course. But the question here tasks is what does

696
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:23,719
Speaker 4: this ACL surgery mean for his ree agency and then

697
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:26,200
Speaker 4: in for the Clippers moving forward this summer and then

698
00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:27,760
Speaker 4: into the start of next year, because he could be

699
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:30,200
Speaker 4: out for a good chunk of time if you believe

700
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:32,000
Speaker 4: the people that do this for a living in street

701
00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:34,360
Speaker 4: clothes there, Jeff, and go through all these people that

702
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 4: have had this surgery before. It's it takes a while

703
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:38,120
Speaker 4: to come back from something like this, or it can

704
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:38,520
Speaker 4: at least.

705
00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:41,280
Speaker 6: But what do you think, Well, yeah, a very Kawhi

706
00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:45,680
Speaker 6: like press release, just to the point, not messing around. Yeah,

707
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:48,720
Speaker 6: if we're looking at like even Spencer Dinwiddie, the most

708
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:51,680
Speaker 6: recent one, that's the guy coming back. It was about

709
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:55,600
Speaker 6: six months where he was supposedly ready to come back,

710
00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:59,760
Speaker 6: you know, before the nets were bounced. So as far

711
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:01,280
Speaker 6: as I'm concerned, this hurts there.

712
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:08,160
Speaker 8: Oh, it's like cam Stewart there.

713
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 4: Those last things that's just froze Wi Fi probably crapped

714
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 4: and we got.

715
00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 3: An incredible screen down go back to one. Yeah, that's

716
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 3: one of the best ones. Okay, So we'll go to

717
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:31,560
Speaker 3: Uli here. What does this surgery mean for a Kuhi

718
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:32,720
Speaker 3: and his free agency? And the Clips.

719
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:35,800
Speaker 7: Well, well, first off, I think it's the Clippers just

720
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:38,320
Speaker 7: saying Kauhai saying I'll tell you when I'm ready to

721
00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:41,480
Speaker 7: release this information, because you never really see this before

722
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:44,280
Speaker 7: from any other players. Once they've had an a c

723
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:48,120
Speaker 7: L injury of any description, that's usually released within as

724
00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:50,080
Speaker 7: soon as they find out that stuff. So I think

725
00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:52,120
Speaker 7: the Clippers are like, if Kawhi doesn't want us to

726
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:54,240
Speaker 7: say anything, we won't say anything, because obviously they want

727
00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:56,400
Speaker 7: him to opt into his contract, which he can do,

728
00:30:56,880 --> 00:30:58,480
Speaker 7: or he can opt out to become a free agent

729
00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:00,680
Speaker 7: to sign a bigger deal in terms of where he

730
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:03,160
Speaker 7: signs if he chooses to opt out. I honestly don't

731
00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:05,360
Speaker 7: think this really changes a whole lot. I think any

732
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:08,560
Speaker 7: team who can afford Kawhi and has prepared to pay

733
00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:09,360
Speaker 7: him and give him what.

734
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:10,600
Speaker 8: He needs will still sign him.

735
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:12,800
Speaker 7: We saw that with Kevin Durant after he blew out

736
00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:15,760
Speaker 7: his achilles for the for the Warriors. There that it

737
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:19,000
Speaker 7: didn't stop the Nets signing him to that massive contract

738
00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:21,240
Speaker 7: knowing that he's likely to miss the entire entire one

739
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:23,440
Speaker 7: season of that. So I think Hi's in that same boat.

740
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:27,920
Speaker 7: So you know it's it's just a little weird to me.

741
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:30,720
Speaker 7: Why would he hide that information?

742
00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:31,240
Speaker 3: What does that?

743
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:32,880
Speaker 8: What does that do? You know?

744
00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:36,280
Speaker 4: Like, well, I guess it keeps the the two teams

745
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:38,680
Speaker 4: that were playing on their toes never knowing if he's

746
00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:40,959
Speaker 4: going to come back. I mean, if they're said right

747
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:43,400
Speaker 4: away that he's got a e cl tear and that

748
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:45,440
Speaker 4: he's OpEd for the rest of the year, then they know,

749
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:46,960
Speaker 4: and then they can plan accordingly.

750
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:48,400
Speaker 3: I don't know, I'm just trying to.

751
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:51,680
Speaker 7: Yeah, I just yeah, it just seems a bit weird

752
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:55,160
Speaker 7: to me. Anyway, Look, Kawhi is again, as I say,

753
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:57,920
Speaker 7: if he chooses to opt out, every team more or

754
00:31:58,000 --> 00:31:59,840
Speaker 7: less will do whatever they can to convince him. You

755
00:31:59,880 --> 00:32:02,360
Speaker 7: know that the hate the Mavericks. You know, those sort

756
00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:04,240
Speaker 7: of teams would be more than happy to take on

757
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:07,760
Speaker 7: Kawhi even if they know they won't get him for likely,

758
00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:10,720
Speaker 7: you know, at least seventy five percent of next season,

759
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:12,880
Speaker 7: because Kawhi can be is such a game changer out there.

760
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:15,600
Speaker 7: So I don't think it actually really affects his free

761
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:17,120
Speaker 7: agency status at all.

762
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:20,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, Trey, what do you think? I think y'all are

763
00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:20,960
Speaker 3: both right here.

764
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:23,080
Speaker 1: I think it was a little bit of gamesmanship from

765
00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:25,560
Speaker 1: the Clippers holding him out during the playoffs to keep

766
00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:27,400
Speaker 1: the Suns on their toes. Maybe you have to think

767
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:30,040
Speaker 1: you're preparing for Kawhi Leonard and Paul George, but then

768
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 1: it just turns out as Paul George. Obviously it didn't

769
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:36,360
Speaker 1: play a huge factor for the Clippers, But I don't know.

770
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:40,400
Speaker 1: It's exactly like you're saying. Kawhi is one of the

771
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:42,000
Speaker 1: best players in the league, and he has been for

772
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:44,160
Speaker 1: a long time. He's a top ten guy at the

773
00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:48,520
Speaker 1: absolute worst, So thirty teams would be excited to sign him.

774
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:51,320
Speaker 1: The Clippers more so than anybody. They're pot committed at

775
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:54,040
Speaker 1: this point. With all the draft picks that they traded

776
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:56,720
Speaker 1: to bring in Paul George, re signing Paul George to

777
00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:59,480
Speaker 1: that long deal, They're in on this team, ergo, They're

778
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:02,240
Speaker 1: gonna do it can to bring him back. It's been

779
00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:05,240
Speaker 1: assumed that Kawhi would pass up his player option so

780
00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:07,880
Speaker 1: we could cash in on this ten plus year veteran deal,

781
00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:11,000
Speaker 1: which is a bigger max. I suppose there's a chance,

782
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:13,000
Speaker 1: he says, since I'm not going to be playing the

783
00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:15,240
Speaker 1: entirety of this year and returning from an injury, I'll

784
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:18,360
Speaker 1: take the player option, sign that and then do the

785
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:21,800
Speaker 1: same thing next summer. That could certainly happen, but you

786
00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:23,960
Speaker 1: got to have a little bit of pause here. If

787
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:26,880
Speaker 1: you're any team getting interested in Kawhi Leonard, obviously you

788
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:28,880
Speaker 1: would want him, but he's got a long history of

789
00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:30,120
Speaker 1: problems with that right leg.

790
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:31,160
Speaker 3: At this point, we've.

791
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:34,280
Speaker 1: Seen a lot of contracts signed, not so much recently,

792
00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:38,640
Speaker 1: but you're thinking like Chandler Parsons, Gilbert Arenas players you

793
00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:41,480
Speaker 1: know ten years ago, I guess eight years ago something

794
00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:44,240
Speaker 1: like that that had an injury when they signed their

795
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:46,400
Speaker 1: deal and they never got back to that level before.

796
00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:49,600
Speaker 1: So I don't know, it's just a little bit of nerves.

797
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:51,280
Speaker 1: I would have to think. If you're the Clippers, you're

798
00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:53,920
Speaker 1: not going to change your plans, but it's making you

799
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:55,200
Speaker 1: think about your plans more so.

800
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:57,400
Speaker 3: Tassi is of course back with us.

801
00:33:57,440 --> 00:34:02,240
Speaker 4: Here you left us was an incredible, incredible frozen image

802
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:03,240
Speaker 4: task out of here.

803
00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:04,080
Speaker 3: Yeah here it is.

804
00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:04,840
Speaker 5: Oh, there is.

805
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:08,920
Speaker 3: An amazing.

806
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:11,480
Speaker 5: A little saliva there.

807
00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:16,799
Speaker 4: But what were you saying about the whole Kawhi Clippers situation.

808
00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:20,560
Speaker 6: Here, Well, it's a strange one because, yeah, as Trey

809
00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 6: was saying, there do you rethink what you're doing. I

810
00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:25,640
Speaker 6: think for Kawhi, you could definitely opt out and get

811
00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:29,320
Speaker 6: a four year max, just just to get that little

812
00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:32,439
Speaker 6: security right there immediately instead of waiting for a year

813
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:35,279
Speaker 6: where you don't know what's going on. I think, you know,

814
00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:38,000
Speaker 6: the Clippers have shown that even when things aren't going

815
00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:41,400
Speaker 6: they're willing to sign big money to players, like to

816
00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:44,080
Speaker 6: Paul George, you know, after that year that didn't go

817
00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:46,440
Speaker 6: right last year, And the.

818
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:48,480
Speaker 5: Fact is they're kind of locked in.

819
00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:51,640
Speaker 6: Like we're going to talk about Sean Sharanya's article where

820
00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:55,120
Speaker 6: he's got a lot of rumors talking about Lonzo Ball

821
00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:56,680
Speaker 6: potentially going to the Clippers.

822
00:34:56,800 --> 00:34:58,160
Speaker 5: He's a restricted free agent.

823
00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:00,279
Speaker 6: But I don't know how they make that work because

824
00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:03,279
Speaker 6: the Clippers have so much money locked in. Even if

825
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:08,600
Speaker 6: Kawhi Leonard was to decline his contract option for next year,

826
00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:11,520
Speaker 6: they're at one hundred and ten million outside Kawhi. Their

827
00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:14,879
Speaker 6: roster up and down besides Kawhi, starting with forty mil

828
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:18,680
Speaker 6: Paul George to sixteen Marcus Morris to rush On Rondo

829
00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:21,600
Speaker 6: signed through next year. They're basically locked in to their

830
00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:23,920
Speaker 6: to their roster. I guess they could get smart, get

831
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:26,239
Speaker 6: Kawhi to opt out, get Searchabaka to opt out, and

832
00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:31,240
Speaker 6: then you know, sign Lonzo Balter restricted free agent contract.

833
00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:34,239
Speaker 6: But I think they're basically going to run back the

834
00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:36,520
Speaker 6: exact same team, but with Kawhi missing a chunk of

835
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:40,280
Speaker 6: the year, and that's that's crappy for their playoff chances.

836
00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:43,040
Speaker 6: You see how tough the Western Conference is, right, you know,

837
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:45,560
Speaker 6: you go from like you know, even the Nuggets, you know,

838
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:47,480
Speaker 6: drop a little bit when Jamal Murray goes out of

839
00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:50,880
Speaker 6: Jokic did all he could. But if you drop a

840
00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:54,160
Speaker 6: few spots like the Lakers are a better example, I mean,

841
00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:56,360
Speaker 6: you're playing on the road for the rest of the playoffs.

842
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:58,560
Speaker 6: It's just even if they're good, even if they played

843
00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:01,360
Speaker 6: so great without them, it's just it's you're really playing

844
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:03,120
Speaker 6: behind the eight ball in that tough West.

845
00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:05,279
Speaker 4: Yeah, they've got decisions to make too here in free

846
00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:09,080
Speaker 4: agency with Reggie Jackson, Nick Batoom. Yeah, they're they're rumored

847
00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:11,080
Speaker 4: with a couple of guys that they're interested in, Ball

848
00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:13,279
Speaker 4: being a big one. I'm ready for the Terrence Man

849
00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:15,880
Speaker 4: Most Improved Player hype machine though, Yeah, start up the

850
00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:18,239
Speaker 4: train already. I mean, he played great when Kawhi went

851
00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:21,759
Speaker 4: down this season, got nearly thirty minutes per game like

852
00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:24,360
Speaker 4: he slotted in there, scored thirteen points per game, shot

853
00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:26,439
Speaker 4: the ball, like, shot the lights out of the ball,

854
00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:29,000
Speaker 4: fifty six percent from the floor and then forty five

855
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:30,520
Speaker 4: percent on three. Now, I don't think he's gonna do

856
00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:32,799
Speaker 4: that throughout the season, because if he does, he might

857
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:34,680
Speaker 4: be in the running for Most Improved.

858
00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:36,520
Speaker 3: But they'll give a lot of his minutes to him.

859
00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:38,239
Speaker 3: But this sucks. I'm with you, guys, just for like

860
00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:40,040
Speaker 3: the they're their season.

861
00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:42,080
Speaker 4: Paul George is good, and I think the Clippers would

862
00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:44,120
Speaker 4: still be a good team if they're if they're basically

863
00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:47,719
Speaker 4: the same, but they're not top I don't think they're

864
00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:51,000
Speaker 4: top four team in the West without Kawhi all year long.

865
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:52,759
Speaker 4: I don't think they're even top five or six with

866
00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:55,439
Speaker 4: some of these squads. So they might just be like.

867
00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:56,480
Speaker 3: Scrambling to get in there.

868
00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:57,960
Speaker 4: And then you know, you hope you get Kawhi back

869
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:00,080
Speaker 4: for the for the home stretch and into the play.

870
00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:02,080
Speaker 3: So tough news for QUI. We'll see.

871
00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:05,000
Speaker 4: I'll watch you much time he actually misses here. All right,

872
00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:06,279
Speaker 4: we got lots more. We got to get to the

873
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:10,959
Speaker 4: Sham's report there. But let's take our first break, all right.

874
00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:11,800
Speaker 3: Back with no dunks.

875
00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:16,560
Speaker 4: The Athletics Shams Sharanya had some reports yesterday in an

876
00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:18,560
Speaker 4: article up on the Athletic Go to the Athletic dot

877
00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:20,480
Speaker 4: com slash now dunks if you don't have a subscription.

878
00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:22,439
Speaker 3: Some juicy tidbits in here.

879
00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:24,200
Speaker 4: I'm going to hit you with three of them, guys,

880
00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:27,000
Speaker 4: and you tell me which one intrigued you the most.

881
00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:33,320
Speaker 4: First one, Sixers opening up Ben Simmons trade talks, all right, okay, Shops,

882
00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:35,600
Speaker 4: I think we knew that one, buddy leaning into it.

883
00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:40,520
Speaker 4: Second one, Nick's interested in Collin Sexton on the Calves, okay.

884
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:42,640
Speaker 4: And then the final one I'll throw you. The Pelicans

885
00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:46,120
Speaker 4: are planning to hire Sun's assistant Willie Green as their

886
00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:48,200
Speaker 4: new head coach. So task you go first.

887
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:50,880
Speaker 3: Of those three reports there from Shams, which one is

888
00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:51,640
Speaker 3: the juiciest to you?

889
00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:55,360
Speaker 6: Well, I'm going to go even deeper into the inside

890
00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:58,600
Speaker 6: pass from Shampsharana. I think it's a two parter surrounding

891
00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:01,319
Speaker 6: the Knicks. That's interesting to me. Yeah, they're trying to

892
00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:04,839
Speaker 6: trade for the Calves, call and Sexton the most aggressive

893
00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:10,480
Speaker 6: team out there. To me, that's really really interesting the Calves,

894
00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:14,920
Speaker 6: I guess down on Colin Sexton, up on Darius Garland,

895
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:18,560
Speaker 6: who's been called up to the big team amongst the

896
00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:21,640
Speaker 6: USA national team. So that's really interesting to me.

897
00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:22,840
Speaker 5: Can the Knicks.

898
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:26,560
Speaker 6: Bring him in and make him a team guy with

899
00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:29,560
Speaker 6: all their young players? I mean, he is so so talented.

900
00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:32,600
Speaker 6: He could easily come to the Knicks and be, you know,

901
00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:34,759
Speaker 6: a one A type guy. But what would they have

902
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:36,919
Speaker 6: to give up for him? I would assume it would

903
00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:40,680
Speaker 6: have to be either Emmanuel Quickly or Mitchell Robinson, some

904
00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:45,280
Speaker 6: big package for Colin Sexon a decent package anyways, including

905
00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:48,120
Speaker 6: one of those guys. So looking forward to seeing that

906
00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:51,239
Speaker 6: happen now if they can't get Callin Sexton if that

907
00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:55,520
Speaker 6: asking price is too big. Shaan's reports that Lonzo Ball

908
00:38:56,600 --> 00:38:58,640
Speaker 6: won't be back with the Pelicans if he's offered a

909
00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:02,200
Speaker 6: big contract from somewhere else, and that could be from

910
00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:04,280
Speaker 6: the New York Knicks. I thought that was the perfect

911
00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:08,800
Speaker 6: match in New York. But you know, called Sexton, depending

912
00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:10,480
Speaker 6: who you are around the league, looks to have a

913
00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:14,920
Speaker 6: really high ceiling. But his stock, even though he's you know,

914
00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:19,040
Speaker 6: can score twenty per game, doesn't seem to be very

915
00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:22,040
Speaker 6: high for a guy that or that early in his career,

916
00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:25,360
Speaker 6: was talked about in All Star consideration at the beginning

917
00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:28,080
Speaker 6: of the season, but things fell off in Cleveland, and

918
00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:31,200
Speaker 6: so I'm not sure how much you know Tims can

919
00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:33,080
Speaker 6: get through to him to be a part of that team.

920
00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:35,080
Speaker 6: But again, they need scoring, They need scoring at the

921
00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:37,439
Speaker 6: point guard spot, so I can understand them taking a chance.

922
00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:40,240
Speaker 6: But yeah, the Pelicans, if they're moving in a different

923
00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:45,680
Speaker 6: direction than Lonzo Ball, obviously their their situation there with

924
00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:49,960
Speaker 6: Nikhil Alexander Walker probably taken over as a young point guard.

925
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:52,200
Speaker 6: I mean, that's that's going to be interesting. With Zion

926
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:55,720
Speaker 6: Williamson and if the Knicks buy into the Lonzo Ball hype,

927
00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:57,919
Speaker 6: what is he going to be for his career because

928
00:39:57,920 --> 00:40:02,280
Speaker 6: he had a solid year. So yeah, that's some interesting

929
00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:05,560
Speaker 6: movement early here before our free agency opens up in

930
00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:06,120
Speaker 6: a couple of weeks.

931
00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:09,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, sticking with that, Kelsey Russo and Mike Workinoff, We're

932
00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:12,759
Speaker 4: all over this potential Knicks Calves trade. This morning again

933
00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:16,040
Speaker 4: at the Athletic they threw it a couple potential trades.

934
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:19,480
Speaker 3: Tasks didn't involve those names that you just threw out there. Quickly,

935
00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:21,560
Speaker 3: You're not going to Robinson. No, listen to this.

936
00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:24,480
Speaker 4: So Calves, Calves need a front court player. So okay,

937
00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:26,160
Speaker 4: you know they do have Jared Allen, So I don't know,

938
00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:28,439
Speaker 4: maybe there's too much overlap with Mitche Robinson. But they said,

939
00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:32,799
Speaker 4: would the Knicks really trade Obi Toppin for Sexton as

940
00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:35,040
Speaker 4: the piece you know just drafted him not that long ago,

941
00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:38,520
Speaker 4: but Kuldobi Toppin and the number nineteen pick, let's say

942
00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:41,239
Speaker 4: for Secon is that enough for Cleveland?

943
00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:41,879
Speaker 3: Again?

944
00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:43,960
Speaker 4: Would the Nicks even want to move on from Toppin?

945
00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:46,160
Speaker 4: Then they said, what about this? How about the MAVs

946
00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:49,440
Speaker 4: picked up the Knicks owned twenty twenty three, moving into

947
00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:52,920
Speaker 4: a top fourteen protected selection Kevin Knox and then like

948
00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:55,439
Speaker 4: another pick, an early second round pick, super early second

949
00:40:55,520 --> 00:40:56,279
Speaker 4: round pick this year?

950
00:40:57,160 --> 00:40:59,960
Speaker 3: Is that enough for Sexton? Anyway? It's a thought about

951
00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:01,480
Speaker 3: so but yeah, you don't think so?

952
00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:01,799
Speaker 5: Yeah?

953
00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:04,640
Speaker 6: I got I mean, I'm I on obt high on

954
00:41:04,719 --> 00:41:07,520
Speaker 6: Obi topping but you know, what's his ceiling? We're talking

955
00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:12,239
Speaker 6: about Colin Sexton. I understand people's opinion differ, but I

956
00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:15,440
Speaker 6: just I don't think that's that's a ton for con Sextion.

957
00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:17,719
Speaker 4: No, I know I get that, but from Cleveland's side,

958
00:41:17,719 --> 00:41:20,280
Speaker 4: I think you said, like, yeah, maybe if they're picking

959
00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:22,160
Speaker 4: between a Garland and Sexton is one way to look

960
00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:24,480
Speaker 4: at it. But they also might be picking between Sexton

961
00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:26,480
Speaker 4: and the pick they're going to get in this year's draft,

962
00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:28,680
Speaker 4: which is likely going to be one of the Jaalen's

963
00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:31,080
Speaker 4: either green or sucks. And maybe they're like, oh, that's

964
00:41:31,120 --> 00:41:33,440
Speaker 4: a potential prospect that they're more in love with pairing

965
00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:35,839
Speaker 4: with Garland than they are Sexton. And if they could

966
00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:38,520
Speaker 4: get obviously like a young talented big back or more picks,

967
00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:40,799
Speaker 4: maybe that's the direction they would take. Anyway, it's a

968
00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:43,200
Speaker 4: fascinating read. I thought they did a great job on it. GK,

969
00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:45,520
Speaker 4: what do you make of this is? Does it make

970
00:41:45,560 --> 00:41:47,759
Speaker 4: sense Colin Sexton in New York and the CAF's trying

971
00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:48,680
Speaker 4: to get something back for him.

972
00:41:48,719 --> 00:41:52,120
Speaker 1: I think it definitely makes sense Colin Sexton in New York.

973
00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:55,359
Speaker 1: You know, he's not necessarily known as a defensive guy,

974
00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:58,560
Speaker 1: but DIMMs is a defensive guy, and surely the Knicks

975
00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:02,680
Speaker 1: would be able to cover for Sexton's deficiencies as a

976
00:42:02,719 --> 00:42:05,800
Speaker 1: guarding guy. And obviously they needed somebody to be scoring

977
00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:08,200
Speaker 1: from the perimeter the Knicks did, so I think he

978
00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:09,719
Speaker 1: fits in right there very well.

979
00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:10,800
Speaker 3: You saw how well.

980
00:42:10,719 --> 00:42:13,239
Speaker 1: Derrick Rose played once he got to New York, and

981
00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:15,600
Speaker 1: you know, Colin Sexton is ten years younger than Derek

982
00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:17,000
Speaker 1: Rose at this point, coming off.

983
00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:17,920
Speaker 3: His best season.

984
00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:20,839
Speaker 1: It doesn't make a ton of sense to me from

985
00:42:20,840 --> 00:42:25,040
Speaker 1: the Calves standpoint. Colin Sexton was basically the centerpiece of

986
00:42:25,080 --> 00:42:27,759
Speaker 1: the Kyrie Irving trade. I think that's gonna make it

987
00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:31,480
Speaker 1: a little tougher to get him out of Cleveland, just

988
00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:34,600
Speaker 1: because of him being the leftover from you know, kind

989
00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:38,959
Speaker 1: of the end of that era, of the Calves championship era.

990
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:41,920
Speaker 1: And I think Dan Gilbert is a big Colin Sexton

991
00:42:41,960 --> 00:42:44,960
Speaker 1: fan as well. So this seems to be to me

992
00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:47,960
Speaker 1: to be most beneficial to Colin Sexton. It feels like

993
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:51,440
Speaker 1: he may be ready to be done with Cleveland, especially

994
00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:53,920
Speaker 1: seeing the writing on the wall, like you're saying, Darius

995
00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:55,880
Speaker 1: Garland is getting the bump up to play with the

996
00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:58,760
Speaker 1: US national team while if you guys are still playing

997
00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:02,239
Speaker 1: in the NBA Finals, there's a couple adjalents potentially on

998
00:43:02,280 --> 00:43:05,200
Speaker 1: the board who could be the star that's there now.

999
00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:10,239
Speaker 1: You know, Superseding both Sexton and Garland. Meanwhile, you know,

1000
00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:12,880
Speaker 1: Sexton is coming off his best season of his career

1001
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:15,440
Speaker 1: twenty four points per game, almost forty eight percent from

1002
00:43:15,440 --> 00:43:17,680
Speaker 1: the field. He's probably thinking, I'm going to be due

1003
00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:20,600
Speaker 1: for another payday as soon as my contract, my first

1004
00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:23,400
Speaker 1: rookie deal is up here, So let me go maximize

1005
00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:25,480
Speaker 1: things playing in a system that's going to play to

1006
00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:28,000
Speaker 1: my strengths instead of having to share the ball with

1007
00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:29,719
Speaker 1: all of these other draft picks who are trying to

1008
00:43:29,719 --> 00:43:30,200
Speaker 1: make their name.

1009
00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:32,600
Speaker 4: Sure, sure, yeah, what do you add to this lee

1010
00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:34,840
Speaker 4: or is there something else that jump said that you

1011
00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:35,479
Speaker 4: wanted to tackle?

1012
00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:37,799
Speaker 7: Well, just quickly tap on like like try saying Derek

1013
00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:40,440
Speaker 7: Rose was probably the second best player when he came over,

1014
00:43:40,480 --> 00:43:42,240
Speaker 7: and that's just not a good sign for the Knicks.

1015
00:43:42,239 --> 00:43:45,279
Speaker 7: They need some more younger talent coming through. And I

1016
00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:47,280
Speaker 7: don't think Emanuel Quickly is ready to be a starting

1017
00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:49,040
Speaker 7: point guard in this league. I think he's more suited

1018
00:43:49,080 --> 00:43:50,759
Speaker 7: to coming off the bench. So you can understand why

1019
00:43:50,760 --> 00:43:53,080
Speaker 7: they would want six then, just doesn't sound like it's

1020
00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:57,160
Speaker 7: sixy enough that going back there, Unlesry getting Yeah, I mean,

1021
00:43:57,200 --> 00:44:00,000
Speaker 7: maybe if you get Jay Barrett somehow into that convasation.

1022
00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:02,560
Speaker 7: Then the Cavs are No, that's what I'm saying. I mean,

1023
00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:04,680
Speaker 7: the other players, though, aren't going to really do it

1024
00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:07,000
Speaker 7: for the Cavs. I think Sexton's good, but he maybe

1025
00:44:07,239 --> 00:44:10,040
Speaker 7: just is not that well liked in the organization for

1026
00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:12,280
Speaker 7: some reason. But started off this season he was averaging

1027
00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:14,279
Speaker 7: twenty seven a game. I mean, that's a guy who

1028
00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:16,760
Speaker 7: can get your buckets. I mean, he's increased his scoring

1029
00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:19,680
Speaker 7: average every season he's been the league. So offensively, I

1030
00:44:19,719 --> 00:44:22,080
Speaker 7: think he really fits what the Knicks need, a guy

1031
00:44:22,120 --> 00:44:23,840
Speaker 7: who can actually go out there and take some of

1032
00:44:23,880 --> 00:44:27,120
Speaker 7: that heat off Julius Randall. But defensively, he has got

1033
00:44:27,160 --> 00:44:29,360
Speaker 7: some work to do there. But I'll just go I

1034
00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:31,400
Speaker 7: guess on the Ben Simmons stuff there. I mean, it

1035
00:44:31,480 --> 00:44:34,439
Speaker 7: seems to me that, you know, despite everything we're hearing,

1036
00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:37,960
Speaker 7: Daryl Moory remains in a really strong position here because

1037
00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:41,000
Speaker 7: Ben Simmons is under contract. You know, he doesn't have

1038
00:44:41,080 --> 00:44:43,400
Speaker 7: to trade him. He's still likely going to be the

1039
00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:46,680
Speaker 7: best play in whatever trade is made, and he can

1040
00:44:46,719 --> 00:44:48,880
Speaker 7: really let this play out as long as he wants.

1041
00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:50,640
Speaker 7: You know, he knows that there's going to be a

1042
00:44:50,680 --> 00:44:53,440
Speaker 7: significant offers from teams they're all going to try to

1043
00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:56,440
Speaker 7: get him. He can just wait until they prepared to

1044
00:44:56,480 --> 00:44:58,560
Speaker 7: sort of bet against each other and you know, put

1045
00:44:58,600 --> 00:45:01,120
Speaker 7: in offers that he lays them off against each other,

1046
00:45:01,200 --> 00:45:03,400
Speaker 7: and if he still doesn't like any of them, he

1047
00:45:03,440 --> 00:45:06,200
Speaker 7: still keeps Ben Simmons. So, you know, he obviously had

1048
00:45:06,239 --> 00:45:09,000
Speaker 7: a terrible end of the season, but it's not as

1049
00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:12,279
Speaker 7: though he's you know, you can't ever get anything good

1050
00:45:12,280 --> 00:45:14,080
Speaker 7: out of him anymore. I mean, he's only twenty five,

1051
00:45:14,200 --> 00:45:17,320
Speaker 7: and so if you're Daryl Morey, this is a pretty

1052
00:45:17,320 --> 00:45:19,480
Speaker 7: good situation right now because people are trying to buy

1053
00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:21,279
Speaker 7: low on him. But he's like, I'm just not going

1054
00:45:21,360 --> 00:45:23,040
Speaker 7: to trade him for the sake of trading him. I

1055
00:45:23,080 --> 00:45:25,280
Speaker 7: just don't need to do that. But it does seem

1056
00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:28,000
Speaker 7: to me more or less inevitable that he will be

1057
00:45:28,040 --> 00:45:31,240
Speaker 7: traded at some point. It's just who can get that package.

1058
00:45:31,280 --> 00:45:33,359
Speaker 4: We're going to be doing an emergency podcast. But Ben

1059
00:45:33,400 --> 00:45:36,640
Speaker 4: Simmons being traded at some point this summer, I'm one

1060
00:45:36,719 --> 00:45:40,200
Speaker 4: hundred percent convinced that happens. But you know the reports,

1061
00:45:39,719 --> 00:45:42,680
Speaker 4: they want an all star backed task that's what they

1062
00:45:42,680 --> 00:45:44,200
Speaker 4: think they should get for Ben Simmons. I'm sure a

1063
00:45:44,239 --> 00:45:46,040
Speaker 4: lot more, they think, but it should be an all

1064
00:45:46,040 --> 00:45:47,120
Speaker 4: star caliber player.

1065
00:45:47,520 --> 00:45:51,319
Speaker 6: Well, so if it was eight months ago we were

1066
00:45:51,400 --> 00:45:55,760
Speaker 6: talking about James Harden versus for Ben Simmons, I mean.

1067
00:45:56,360 --> 00:45:58,040
Speaker 3: So things change quickly in this LIEP.

1068
00:45:58,120 --> 00:45:59,399
Speaker 5: Yeah, but I don't think how low.

1069
00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:02,520
Speaker 6: Sure, but I don't think they're lowering the bar to

1070
00:46:04,680 --> 00:46:07,160
Speaker 6: a rotation player. I mean, yeah, they've they probably want

1071
00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:12,080
Speaker 6: somebody who's got, you know, at least our potential, like

1072
00:46:12,360 --> 00:46:16,200
Speaker 6: you know tomorrow. I mean that somebody's got to be really,

1073
00:46:16,200 --> 00:46:18,120
Speaker 6: really good. They're trying to win a championship. So I

1074
00:46:18,200 --> 00:46:22,840
Speaker 6: understand uh uh, Daryl Morey shopping him and the fact

1075
00:46:22,840 --> 00:46:27,440
Speaker 6: that it's snowballed from you were basically traded for James Harden.

1076
00:46:27,480 --> 00:46:30,120
Speaker 6: You were you were, We wanted to keep you around,

1077
00:46:30,200 --> 00:46:32,080
Speaker 6: but you know that was the offer on the table

1078
00:46:32,160 --> 00:46:34,800
Speaker 6: to now what happened in the playoffs. I can understand

1079
00:46:34,840 --> 00:46:37,160
Speaker 6: them wanting to go in a different direction. But he

1080
00:46:37,320 --> 00:46:42,040
Speaker 6: is still extremely talented. He's still way before his prime.

1081
00:46:42,400 --> 00:46:42,480
Speaker 2: Uh.

1082
00:46:42,600 --> 00:46:44,720
Speaker 6: And that leads me to my next point. Somebody brought

1083
00:46:44,719 --> 00:46:48,160
Speaker 6: this up Apex Phraser. I do believe in the in

1084
00:46:48,200 --> 00:46:51,919
Speaker 6: the chat when we were talking about Colin Sexton going

1085
00:46:51,920 --> 00:46:55,080
Speaker 6: to the Knicks. You mentioned Mike workinoff Kelsey Russo of

1086
00:46:55,120 --> 00:46:58,399
Speaker 6: the Athletic saying a couple packages that were out there

1087
00:46:58,560 --> 00:47:02,200
Speaker 6: would center around Kevin Knox or Obi Toppin and Apex

1088
00:47:02,200 --> 00:47:05,600
Speaker 6: Fraser mentioned here. Obi is older than sex and even

1089
00:47:05,640 --> 00:47:09,160
Speaker 6: though he was drafted last year. That led me to

1090
00:47:09,200 --> 00:47:12,879
Speaker 6: Obi's basketball reference page. He's twenty three seconds twenty two

1091
00:47:12,920 --> 00:47:17,040
Speaker 6: and he's got an incredible name, Obadiah Richard Toppin junior.

1092
00:47:17,680 --> 00:47:19,160
Speaker 5: What a name, Obadiah.

1093
00:47:19,520 --> 00:47:23,160
Speaker 4: He's from Ohio too well, he played in a dating too, right, Yeah, yeah,

1094
00:47:23,160 --> 00:47:24,640
Speaker 4: maybe there's a link there.

1095
00:47:25,040 --> 00:47:25,720
Speaker 3: Now we'll see.

1096
00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:27,640
Speaker 4: I think Simmons is going to be traded. I don't

1097
00:47:27,640 --> 00:47:29,920
Speaker 4: think he's good. You're not getting back James Harden type player,

1098
00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:32,360
Speaker 4: that's for sure. You're going to get back maybe a

1099
00:47:32,440 --> 00:47:35,160
Speaker 4: Zach Lavine type player, which'd be awesome. I think Actually

1100
00:47:35,160 --> 00:47:37,040
Speaker 4: for the Sixers, we've talked about that in the past,

1101
00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:38,839
Speaker 4: but I don't even think that's likely. I think it's

1102
00:47:38,880 --> 00:47:42,360
Speaker 4: going to be like a little level down from even him,

1103
00:47:42,400 --> 00:47:43,520
Speaker 4: Like maybe.

1104
00:47:44,360 --> 00:47:47,000
Speaker 1: Is there an All Star player who is with Russell

1105
00:47:47,840 --> 00:47:50,640
Speaker 1: a lower level than a first time All Star. That's

1106
00:47:50,680 --> 00:47:53,200
Speaker 1: a because I think the Sixers should be asking for

1107
00:47:53,239 --> 00:47:56,120
Speaker 1: an All Star Ben Simmons. I'm still a believer. Right,

1108
00:47:56,200 --> 00:47:57,719
Speaker 1: It's going to be a problem when you get to

1109
00:47:57,760 --> 00:48:01,200
Speaker 1: the playoffs if he's your only ballhand. But if you

1110
00:48:01,239 --> 00:48:03,000
Speaker 1: can put him in a scenario where he's not your

1111
00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:06,279
Speaker 1: only ball handler, I think it's fine trading a low

1112
00:48:06,400 --> 00:48:08,880
Speaker 1: level All star. I saw Greg Ray in the stream

1113
00:48:08,880 --> 00:48:12,840
Speaker 1: team suggested Ben Simmons for kemba Walker. That does seem

1114
00:48:12,880 --> 00:48:16,279
Speaker 1: to kind of address problems for both teams. Of course

1115
00:48:16,280 --> 00:48:18,920
Speaker 1: their rivals. That's always the problem with those sort of trades,

1116
00:48:18,960 --> 00:48:20,560
Speaker 1: like are the Sixers really gonna want to help out

1117
00:48:20,560 --> 00:48:22,600
Speaker 1: the Celtics or the Celtics.

1118
00:48:21,880 --> 00:48:33,720
Speaker 3: On the Celtics anymore? Blew his mind, He's gonna get.

1119
00:48:33,560 --> 00:48:37,040
Speaker 4: All this stuff back on. We're actually gonna be going

1120
00:48:37,080 --> 00:48:39,040
Speaker 4: to him first. Well, we'll move on from that again.

1121
00:48:39,080 --> 00:48:41,560
Speaker 4: We're just gonna wait for the emergency podcast will be

1122
00:48:41,560 --> 00:48:44,560
Speaker 4: traded A yeah, probably crazy.

1123
00:48:44,560 --> 00:48:45,680
Speaker 3: If you think he's gonna be there at.

1124
00:48:45,640 --> 00:48:48,080
Speaker 1: The starting next time, there's no way he can be

1125
00:48:48,120 --> 00:48:52,120
Speaker 1: there after No, after Embiid buried him. After Doc Rivers

1126
00:48:52,120 --> 00:48:54,520
Speaker 1: and Joel Embiid both said the reason we lost was

1127
00:48:54,560 --> 00:48:57,160
Speaker 1: because Ben Simmons passed up a dunk with three minutes left.

1128
00:48:57,360 --> 00:48:59,600
Speaker 1: I don't think that's the reason they lost, but they

1129
00:48:59,600 --> 00:49:01,640
Speaker 1: buried it. They blame him, so there's no way he's

1130
00:49:01,640 --> 00:49:02,120
Speaker 1: coming back.

1131
00:49:02,600 --> 00:49:05,600
Speaker 6: This might be too simple a thinking, but we talked

1132
00:49:05,640 --> 00:49:09,399
Speaker 6: about one billion Bradley Beal possibilities earlier in the Yearly

1133
00:49:09,520 --> 00:49:10,680
Speaker 6: took us to, you know.

1134
00:49:10,800 --> 00:49:13,200
Speaker 5: Several trade possibilities. I think it's a wizard.

1135
00:49:13,200 --> 00:49:14,120
Speaker 3: I took you through that one.

1136
00:49:14,200 --> 00:49:15,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, you're the Beal man.

1137
00:49:15,960 --> 00:49:19,600
Speaker 3: Oh sorry bal No, no, Beal, Yeah, I was Simmons. Yes,

1138
00:49:19,640 --> 00:49:20,000
Speaker 3: you're right.

1139
00:49:20,120 --> 00:49:23,879
Speaker 6: Yeah, Well the Beal for Simmons I think would make

1140
00:49:23,920 --> 00:49:27,960
Speaker 6: sense from the wizard's perspective. You know, I understand that

1141
00:49:28,440 --> 00:49:30,919
Speaker 6: maybe it would hurt Wizards fans initially, but I think

1142
00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:35,680
Speaker 6: Beal has his sights on greener pastures. I mean, I

1143
00:49:35,760 --> 00:49:39,279
Speaker 6: may be you know, it's tough, but he's only twenty eight.

1144
00:49:39,320 --> 00:49:39,839
Speaker 5: That's the thing.

1145
00:49:40,000 --> 00:49:41,759
Speaker 6: Like he could stick it out a couple more, you like,

1146
00:49:41,800 --> 00:49:45,160
Speaker 6: to get to Lillard's level the early thirties. But yeah,

1147
00:49:45,360 --> 00:49:48,959
Speaker 6: I think when he signed that one plus one, which

1148
00:49:49,400 --> 00:49:51,920
Speaker 6: was a very short extension but everyone's celebrating as an

1149
00:49:51,920 --> 00:49:54,520
Speaker 6: extension in Washington, he still was ready to move on.

1150
00:49:54,600 --> 00:49:57,600
Speaker 6: So it might be simple, just thinking two guys ready

1151
00:49:57,640 --> 00:50:00,239
Speaker 6: to move on Simmons for beal, but you know Bill

1152
00:50:00,320 --> 00:50:01,840
Speaker 6: can score with them, be like a monster.

1153
00:50:01,920 --> 00:50:03,560
Speaker 5: And then you know Simmons if.

1154
00:50:03,440 --> 00:50:05,000
Speaker 6: You get a little young part with them. I think

1155
00:50:05,080 --> 00:50:07,160
Speaker 6: Darryl Morey would be willing to do that.

1156
00:50:07,360 --> 00:50:14,160
Speaker 4: Oh hell yeah, right now, anything for Simmons pieces.

1157
00:50:14,200 --> 00:50:16,319
Speaker 3: But the question is gonna be one of the Wizards.

1158
00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:16,640
Speaker 1: Are going to do that?

1159
00:50:16,719 --> 00:50:17,080
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1160
00:50:17,160 --> 00:50:21,320
Speaker 7: I would love to see the Simmons and Westbrook together,

1161
00:50:21,400 --> 00:50:23,880
Speaker 7: and Simmons and the play by play guy in Washington.

1162
00:50:23,880 --> 00:50:25,719
Speaker 8: Remember he just called out Simmons and said he's the

1163
00:50:25,760 --> 00:50:29,719
Speaker 8: most overrated players ever seen in the NBA. And Simmons said,

1164
00:50:29,880 --> 00:50:31,719
Speaker 8: he's just some little guy. I don't even know who

1165
00:50:31,760 --> 00:50:32,040
Speaker 8: he is.

1166
00:50:32,719 --> 00:50:34,799
Speaker 7: That'd be greaty, Yeah, imagine Simmons and Westbrook. I'll tell

1167
00:50:34,800 --> 00:50:37,719
Speaker 7: you what, Maybe two guys could average a triple double

1168
00:50:37,760 --> 00:50:39,640
Speaker 7: in the one season. It's possible, I guess with those

1169
00:50:40,040 --> 00:50:43,320
Speaker 7: just grabbing the boards and running that break just NonStop.

1170
00:50:43,400 --> 00:50:45,480
Speaker 7: None of them can shoot, but they'd easily be able

1171
00:50:45,480 --> 00:50:47,280
Speaker 7: to sort of rack up the stats.

1172
00:50:47,320 --> 00:50:47,640
Speaker 5: I think.

1173
00:50:47,719 --> 00:50:51,160
Speaker 8: So that'd be fun, make the Wizards fun to watch.

1174
00:50:53,640 --> 00:50:57,160
Speaker 4: All right, Let's move to some international news team USA

1175
00:50:57,360 --> 00:51:01,080
Speaker 4: put together its most complete game of until LIMPI preparation schedule.

1176
00:51:01,080 --> 00:51:04,240
Speaker 4: They beat Argentina last night one away to eighty kadi

1177
00:51:04,400 --> 00:51:07,240
Speaker 4: seventeen points, six to nine, shooting Bradley Beal actually speaking

1178
00:51:07,280 --> 00:51:07,560
Speaker 4: to him.

1179
00:51:07,600 --> 00:51:08,920
Speaker 3: He broke out of his shooting swamp.

1180
00:51:08,960 --> 00:51:10,759
Speaker 4: He had not been playing well, made his first four

1181
00:51:10,760 --> 00:51:13,480
Speaker 4: shots and he also to see points.

1182
00:51:13,760 --> 00:51:21,359
Speaker 3: Was that nex okay? So Trey, Well, dare you hit

1183
00:51:21,440 --> 00:51:23,480
Speaker 3: us with the t USA is back? Or is that?

1184
00:51:23,719 --> 00:51:25,800
Speaker 3: Is that crazy? You can't do that in exhibition play.

1185
00:51:26,080 --> 00:51:28,840
Speaker 1: Not an exhibition And honestly, I'm still rattled from that

1186
00:51:28,920 --> 00:51:29,960
Speaker 1: Kemba walker Es.

1187
00:51:31,000 --> 00:51:32,759
Speaker 3: I'm not that it's a hazy one to forget that.

1188
00:51:32,920 --> 00:51:36,000
Speaker 3: The guy's on the Oklahoma City Thunder. Oh oh, my

1189
00:51:36,120 --> 00:51:39,160
Speaker 3: heart totally rattled. I don't know.

1190
00:51:39,719 --> 00:51:41,640
Speaker 1: I was told that the United States didn't blow out

1191
00:51:41,680 --> 00:51:42,640
Speaker 1: other teams anymore.

1192
00:51:43,239 --> 00:51:44,160
Speaker 3: They're a liar.

1193
00:51:45,239 --> 00:51:47,960
Speaker 1: Nice to beat Argentina, They're not the same Argentina. I

1194
00:51:47,960 --> 00:51:49,720
Speaker 1: don't know what to give you on this one's skeets.

1195
00:51:49,960 --> 00:51:52,399
Speaker 1: When the USA wins, they should win, and when they lose,

1196
00:51:52,440 --> 00:51:55,480
Speaker 1: it's a disaster. Sixteen points in nineteen minutes, though for

1197
00:51:55,520 --> 00:51:59,400
Speaker 1: a very handsome Louis Scola and I can see that

1198
00:51:59,440 --> 00:52:02,719
Speaker 1: continuing to be a problem for Team USA because they

1199
00:52:02,800 --> 00:52:05,680
Speaker 1: like to switch right now. But a lot of these

1200
00:52:05,719 --> 00:52:09,920
Speaker 1: international players, Scola included, are very well rounded and can

1201
00:52:09,960 --> 00:52:13,880
Speaker 1: punish those switches inside. It's happened in the losses and

1202
00:52:13,960 --> 00:52:17,560
Speaker 1: it happened with Scola last night. So maybe the Team

1203
00:52:17,640 --> 00:52:20,960
Speaker 1: USA won't be switching quite as much when they start

1204
00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:23,520
Speaker 1: playing in the Olympics and the games actually count.

1205
00:52:23,880 --> 00:52:26,640
Speaker 3: But for right now, congratulations on winning a game.

1206
00:52:26,680 --> 00:52:30,439
Speaker 4: Finally, Yeah, zach Lavine and your boy got the start

1207
00:52:30,440 --> 00:52:32,480
Speaker 4: in this one because Tatum was out with I think

1208
00:52:32,560 --> 00:52:35,440
Speaker 4: they said right knee soreness. But zach Lavin had a

1209
00:52:35,440 --> 00:52:37,880
Speaker 4: good game fifteen points, five boards, three assists. You had

1210
00:52:37,920 --> 00:52:41,399
Speaker 4: a huge dunk in this one. But people do need

1211
00:52:41,440 --> 00:52:44,120
Speaker 4: to know that Argentina, although I think they still might

1212
00:52:44,160 --> 00:52:45,960
Speaker 4: be ranked very high in the world because they did

1213
00:52:45,960 --> 00:52:48,640
Speaker 4: well at the twenty nineteen World Cup, this is by

1214
00:52:48,680 --> 00:52:52,560
Speaker 4: far the worst team Team USA is seene lee when

1215
00:52:52,600 --> 00:52:54,960
Speaker 4: you compare them to Nigeria and to Team Australia.

1216
00:52:55,120 --> 00:52:55,640
Speaker 3: It's just true.

1217
00:52:55,680 --> 00:52:58,920
Speaker 4: I mean, this Argentina team is old, is the truth,

1218
00:52:58,960 --> 00:53:00,560
Speaker 4: but still it is a domin it when and this

1219
00:53:00,600 --> 00:53:02,520
Speaker 4: is what we sort of expect from front steps.

1220
00:53:02,719 --> 00:53:02,959
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1221
00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:05,400
Speaker 7: I mean you have to just look at the super

1222
00:53:05,440 --> 00:53:07,880
Speaker 7: athleticism and speed of joe Ingles out there, and that's

1223
00:53:07,920 --> 00:53:09,600
Speaker 7: where the USA really couldn't keep up.

1224
00:53:09,600 --> 00:53:09,799
Speaker 5: You know.

1225
00:53:09,920 --> 00:53:12,640
Speaker 8: Joey was just too much for them to handle.

1226
00:53:12,719 --> 00:53:14,239
Speaker 3: So look, it's great.

1227
00:53:14,280 --> 00:53:16,760
Speaker 7: It really is great because you know that Louis Skola,

1228
00:53:17,200 --> 00:53:19,520
Speaker 7: he's going to keep on playing in Argentina might be old,

1229
00:53:19,520 --> 00:53:21,360
Speaker 7: they might be beaten up. That reminds me almost of

1230
00:53:21,400 --> 00:53:23,520
Speaker 7: those Spain teams towards the end of when the Gasol's

1231
00:53:23,520 --> 00:53:26,040
Speaker 7: still play, although actually Power is still playing, isn't he.

1232
00:53:26,640 --> 00:53:28,799
Speaker 3: These Mike they're going to play I think here soon too.

1233
00:53:28,920 --> 00:53:30,560
Speaker 8: Is Mark playing for Spain?

1234
00:53:30,880 --> 00:53:31,480
Speaker 3: I don't think so.

1235
00:53:31,840 --> 00:53:33,799
Speaker 7: It feels well, I mean, you know that's the thing,

1236
00:53:33,840 --> 00:53:35,840
Speaker 7: like it feels like these guys were at their peak,

1237
00:53:35,960 --> 00:53:38,640
Speaker 7: like at the London twenty twelve games, you know, which

1238
00:53:38,680 --> 00:53:41,960
Speaker 7: is nine years ago now, but they're still out there

1239

Speaker 8: Yeah, a little touch and go at the airport.

1332
00:57:29,160 --> 00:57:31,520
Speaker 7: No one's really sure anymore whether or not you're allowed

1333
00:57:31,520 --> 00:57:34,640
Speaker 7: into some countries, and some countries some countries are changing

1334
00:57:34,640 --> 00:57:37,080
Speaker 7: their codes, like like the Netherlands, for example, where I

1335
00:57:37,200 --> 00:57:40,200
Speaker 7: was in Amsterdam, they opened up bars and clubs a

1336
00:57:40,240 --> 00:57:43,520
Speaker 7: couple of weeks ago and their cases surged. So the

1337
00:57:43,680 --> 00:57:45,560
Speaker 7: lady at the airport when she was checking us in, said,

1338
00:57:45,720 --> 00:57:48,200
Speaker 7: I think we've returned to a red country, a red zone,

1339
00:57:48,240 --> 00:57:50,760
Speaker 7: which means you basically have to quarantine if you go

1340
00:57:50,840 --> 00:57:54,600
Speaker 7: to another country. But she made a few calls, put

1341

00:57:58,880 --> 00:58:01,480
Speaker 7: They can handle it. So we managed to get on

1344
00:58:01,520 --> 00:58:04,080
Speaker 7: the plane today, but it was for a while there

1345

Speaker 7: I was like, well, we might have to do the

1346
00:58:05,600 --> 00:58:08,160
Speaker 7: old round trip from the airport back to the hotel

1347
00:58:08,200 --> 00:58:10,240
Speaker 7: and oh man, yeah, but I planned.

Speaker 7: was basically packing his bags. He was on his way

1393
01:00:25,080 --> 01:00:27,480
Speaker 7: to the Knicks before James Dolan was like, I think

1394
01:00:27,480 --> 01:00:29,880
Speaker 7: we're getting hosed by Messiah Jerry, and so he pulled

1395
01:00:29,920 --> 01:00:32,640
Speaker 7: out of that deal. And then, I mean, Kyle Larry

1396
01:00:32,720 --> 01:00:35,320
Speaker 7: himself was feuding with Messiah Jerry for the last couple

1397
01:00:35,320 --> 01:00:38,680
Speaker 7: of years prior to winning the championship. And now I think,

1398
01:00:39,440 --> 01:00:41,480
Speaker 7: you know, Kyle Lowry will go down for now.

1399
01:00:41,560 --> 01:00:42,000
Speaker 8: Certainly.

1400
01:00:42,720 --> 01:00:44,680
Speaker 7: I know you've talked about him as the groat, and

1401
01:00:44,720 --> 01:00:47,160
Speaker 7: I think you know, not just the player, but the

1402
01:00:47,160 --> 01:00:50,120
Speaker 7: person he's grown into and the man, and how affectionate

1403
01:00:50,680 --> 01:00:52,800
Speaker 7: he loves the city, and how much they all love

1404
01:00:52,880 --> 01:00:56,080
Speaker 7: him back. He's definitely getting his number attired at some point.

1405
01:00:56,360 --> 01:00:58,280
Speaker 7: Does he get a statue? Does he get a statue

1406
01:00:58,360 --> 01:01:01,560
Speaker 7: Kyle Lowry in Toronto? I mean, I think it's in play.

1407
01:01:01,800 --> 01:01:02,240
Speaker 8: I think so.

1408
01:01:02,680 --> 01:01:07,160
Speaker 7: I think Hayes just being a fantastic ambassador for the

1409
01:01:07,240 --> 01:01:10,840
Speaker 7: Raptors and for for Toronto and for Canada in general.

1410
01:01:10,880 --> 01:01:12,160
Speaker 7: I think in the sporting.

1411
01:01:11,840 --> 01:01:16,080
