Champagny those guys that 0:07:34.880 --> 0:07:37.640 had six guys in double figures. Sham Penny was five 0:07:37.720 --> 0:07:40.040 or ten, four to nine from the three he had 0:07:40.040 --> 0:07:43.920 eighteen victor Woman Yama quiet Night by his standard, he 0:07:44.040 --> 0:07:47.040 was nineteen points but only shot the ball eleven times. 0:07:47.120 --> 0:07:49.080 Darren Fox had twenty one. He was eight of ten. 0:07:50.120 --> 0:07:53.400 Devin Vasell he was four ten. He had eleven points. 0:07:53.520 --> 0:07:57.480 The knight belongs to Stephen Castle. Stephan, excuse me, Stephen Castle. 0:07:57.640 --> 0:08:00.160 He had thirty two points on eleven of sixteen. He 0:08:00.240 --> 0:08:02.640 came out scorching hard from the three point line and 0:08:02.680 --> 0:08:04.360 it didn't let up all night. So we had thirty 0:08:04.360 --> 0:08:06.840 two points on eleven and sixteen shooting five or seven 0:08:06.880 --> 0:08:09.680 from the three. Dylan Harper came up the bench. He 0:08:09.840 --> 0:08:13.280 was fifteen points on six of a shooting. But Minnesota 0:08:13.760 --> 0:08:15.560 it was just not enough. You could see early on 0:08:15.600 --> 0:08:18.080 in this game. I thought it was about to get 0:08:18.120 --> 0:08:20.640 out of hand early. Give Minnesota credit, they made a 0:08:20.640 --> 0:08:24.520 great push right before the half. But then the Spurs 0:08:24.560 --> 0:08:27.000 came out of this third quarter and really put the 0:08:27.040 --> 0:08:32.240 game away. Jayde McDaniels had thirteen, Desmo had ten, and 0:08:32.440 --> 0:08:34.920 Man had twenty four. Nos Reed was scorching hot in 0:08:34.960 --> 0:08:37.559 the second quarter. He and Terrence Shannon tried to keep 0:08:37.600 --> 0:08:40.080 him in it as best they could, but it wasn't enough. 0:08:40.160 --> 0:08:43.960 Nos Reed had eighteen points and Shannon had twenty one points, 0:08:44.040 --> 0:08:47.120 but it wasn't enough. The Spurs just had too much 0:08:47.200 --> 0:08:52.240 depth out rebounded them. Plus twenty no plus thirty one. 0:08:52.960 --> 0:08:57.640 The Spurs had sixty rebounds. The Timberwolves had twenty nine rebounds. 0:08:58.040 --> 0:09:02.680 That is crazy plus US thirty one on the glass. 0:09:03.040 --> 0:09:05.280 And that's why you have a lotside the game like 0:09:05.280 --> 0:09:07.320 what you had one thirty nine to one on nine? 0:09:09.000 --> 0:09:09.240 Yoe? 0:09:09.280 --> 0:09:11.480 What did you what you saw? You saw the Spurs 0:09:11.520 --> 0:09:13.800 and we we I'm not surprised. I don't know if 0:09:13.800 --> 0:09:16.240 anybody should be surprised because we didn't think it would 0:09:16.240 --> 0:09:18.120 have got this far. They didn't throw victor women y'all 0:09:18.200 --> 0:09:20.360 out of the game. What was that Game three or 0:09:20.360 --> 0:09:22.800 Game four? But it happened, and yeah, it is what 0:09:22.840 --> 0:09:25.240 it is. But now we know the Spurs and the 0:09:25.280 --> 0:09:28.400 timber and the Spurs and the Thunder and the Western 0:09:28.400 --> 0:09:32.000 Conference finals. Uh one nine t Wolf. What did you 0:09:32.080 --> 0:09:34.800 like about the Spurs and how they approached this game tonight? 0:09:34.880 --> 0:09:38.040 Joe? Uh tonight, Uncle Ocho. 0:09:38.120 --> 0:09:41.480 I thought the Spurs finally put together a collective team 0:09:41.600 --> 0:09:44.360 effort as far as winning. Yes, Castle went out for 0:09:44.440 --> 0:09:47.920 thirty two and eleven eleven rebounds, but for the most part, 0:09:48.160 --> 0:09:51.959 the whole entire squad played great. Bro I think if 0:09:51.960 --> 0:09:57.200 you Minnesota, you started the game with with ruty garden Castle. 0:09:57.600 --> 0:09:59.000 I didn't know what the hell that was about. 0:09:59.200 --> 0:10:02.160 Yeah, you know, you give him, you give you give 0:10:02.200 --> 0:10:03.920 a guy like that theair shots because the ain't like 0:10:03.960 --> 0:10:04.760 he a non shooter. 0:10:04.840 --> 0:10:05.720 He could shoot. 0:10:05.920 --> 0:10:07.920 You give him their shots and he make a couple 0:10:08.160 --> 0:10:10.640 you in trouble. And that's what happened to night. Castle 0:10:10.679 --> 0:10:12.559 got off to a great start in that first quarter, 0:10:12.920 --> 0:10:15.400 and you could tell when he hit about twelve to 0:10:15.520 --> 0:10:17.400 thirteen points. I said, Oh, it's gonna be a big 0:10:17.480 --> 0:10:19.439 knight for him. You know, once you get it, Once 0:10:19.440 --> 0:10:21.319 you let a guy get rolling this league, bro, it's 0:10:21.320 --> 0:10:23.640 hard to turn him off. And then those other guys 0:10:23.720 --> 0:10:26.000 just I mean they shot fifty five percent from the field. 0:10:26.040 --> 0:10:28.760 What they shot forty seven from the shot like six from. 0:10:28.600 --> 0:10:31.439 The floor, forty seven from three and uh uh at 0:10:31.480 --> 0:10:33.920 eighty five there was twenty three of twenty seven from 0:10:33.920 --> 0:10:37.640 the free throw line. Eighty five percent. Can't start, aa, 0:10:38.040 --> 0:10:40.439 you can't you you can't win no games like that, bro. 0:10:40.679 --> 0:10:43.080 I know women y'am only had three blocks. But like 0:10:43.120 --> 0:10:45.199 we continue to say, like we continue to. 0:10:45.120 --> 0:10:50.760 Say, all all playoffs, bro, he afters so many shots. 0:10:50.960 --> 0:10:53.600 And then when you look at Minnesota, how the here 0:10:53.640 --> 0:10:55.120 you gonna win with random giving you. 0:10:55.080 --> 0:10:58.439 Three point Randal Random. Let's be real, Joe. Rudy Random 0:10:58.520 --> 0:11:02.560 was a Trocia Sauce series. He was broad had a 0:11:02.640 --> 0:11:05.360 solid game. I think the game that they won in 0:11:05.440 --> 0:11:07.959 San Antonio was a game one. I think he may 0:11:08.000 --> 0:11:09.800 I think he may have been solid that game, but 0:11:09.880 --> 0:11:11.000 for the most parts bad. 0:11:11.080 --> 0:11:13.480 They pretty much kept it making bay and you look. 0:11:13.320 --> 0:11:16.320 At and see this is see this is the problem 0:11:16.559 --> 0:11:18.720 is that you have is that you got a guy 0:11:18.760 --> 0:11:22.080 like Rudy Gobert making fifty million and he becomes unplayable. 0:11:22.400 --> 0:11:24.840 If I got a receiver of Ojo no matter, and 0:11:24.880 --> 0:11:26.600 I'm paying him, let's just say for the saga bar, 0:11:26.640 --> 0:11:29.040 I'm paying him twenty five million dollars, but on third 0:11:29.080 --> 0:11:32.080 down I bring him out the game. What value is that? 0:11:32.080 --> 0:11:33.160 That's the money down. 0:11:33.679 --> 0:11:36.080 I can't play Rudy up. For the most part, they 0:11:36.080 --> 0:11:40.960 couldn't play him. He had zero points. The man hold 0:11:41.000 --> 0:11:45.840 on your starting center. He was zero points with three rebounds. 0:11:46.520 --> 0:11:49.600 Look at how many guys holder. Harrison Barnes played seven minutes, 0:11:49.840 --> 0:11:53.280 he had four rebounds. Kelly o Lenneck he played eight minutes, 0:11:53.400 --> 0:11:57.080 he had four rebounds. Carter Bryant played thirteen minutes. He 0:11:57.200 --> 0:12:01.000 had six rebounds. Luke Cortnett played fourteen minutes. He had 0:12:01.080 --> 0:12:05.600 six rebounds. Dylan Harper had five rebounds. Every player on 0:12:05.679 --> 0:12:08.880 the starting ross starting for the Spurs had more rebounds 0:12:08.880 --> 0:12:14.040 than Rudy. Rudy is seven plus foot tall. That's unacceptable. 0:12:15.080 --> 0:12:18.760 That's you know what if he's blocking shots, if he's 0:12:18.800 --> 0:12:22.199 doing something. But it's just hard when your guy is that, 0:12:22.320 --> 0:12:24.959 your starting center, and I gotta take him out of 0:12:25.000 --> 0:12:28.080 the game because now if he can't guard Winby, who 0:12:28.160 --> 0:12:31.479 can Julius rydal is giving up such a high disparity. 0:12:32.400 --> 0:12:36.719 Who who are gonna put a free? Nis can't play him. 0:12:36.960 --> 0:12:39.120 So now now you get try to go bulling. You 0:12:39.200 --> 0:12:41.520 try to double him and the guys. You you've already 0:12:41.600 --> 0:12:46.360 let guys get comfortable shooting. Damn shoot around threeze yep, yep. 0:12:46.440 --> 0:12:48.200 Now they finna split your head to the white meat 0:12:48.240 --> 0:12:49.720 because every time this shot go up. 0:12:49.800 --> 0:12:51.760 What they try to do Joe Ojo look at the 0:12:51.800 --> 0:12:56.320 bench like, hey, hey, Chris Findler, don't look at me. 0:12:56.400 --> 0:12:56.920 I ain't got that. 0:13:00.120 --> 0:13:04.360 But and when you when you think about it, Rudy 0:13:04.440 --> 0:13:08.360 can't guard. He can't guard women. Yama and Randall and 0:13:08.480 --> 0:13:09.080 nas reed. 0:13:09.200 --> 0:13:09.680 They have the. 0:13:10.000 --> 0:13:12.800 Foot speed to keep up with him, but hell, when 0:13:12.800 --> 0:13:15.200 he go up to shoot, they smart. Ain't nothing they 0:13:15.240 --> 0:13:17.240 can do. Fellas, it's nothing they can do. They could 0:13:17.240 --> 0:13:19.199 be as physical as they want. He didn't kind of 0:13:19.200 --> 0:13:23.240 adjusted to that, and I think the Spurs grew throughout 0:13:23.240 --> 0:13:24.040 this series. 0:13:24.600 --> 0:13:27.000 And hell, women, Yama just a cheat hole. Bro. 0:13:27.080 --> 0:13:28.840 He just a huge He just too much of a 0:13:28.840 --> 0:13:31.560 difference maker. I mean, you look at how you pass 0:13:31.679 --> 0:13:34.760 the ball. You know, how he gets the other guys involved. 0:13:34.800 --> 0:13:36.680 He's not a regular obviously, we know he's not a 0:13:36.720 --> 0:13:40.280 regular seven to five guy. Like he is a real 0:13:40.880 --> 0:13:45.280 He is a real center with guard skills, and that 0:13:45.400 --> 0:13:48.719 makes them super, super tough to be. Bro, this is 0:13:48.760 --> 0:13:52.640 gonna be a great series in the next round. But Minnesota, Man, 0:13:52.679 --> 0:13:54.120 I thought they had a chance to put you to 0:13:54.160 --> 0:13:57.319 a game seven, but they get off to such slow starts, man, 0:13:57.520 --> 0:14:00.640 you know, to where to where the Spurs defense is 0:14:00.640 --> 0:14:02.960 so effective in their first cup in the first quarter 0:14:03.040 --> 0:14:05.240 or two that it kind of throws them off rhythm. 0:14:05.280 --> 0:14:08.000 And then man Hans the start forcing things, you know, 0:14:08.120 --> 0:14:09.160 just to kind of get going. 0:14:09.520 --> 0:14:11.520 And they just too good, Bro, They too good. They 0:14:11.520 --> 0:14:14.800 got too many weapons Jews gave me, gave me three points, 0:14:15.240 --> 0:14:15.600 you know what. 0:14:15.880 --> 0:14:17.120 Obviously going to this game, he. 0:14:17.520 --> 0:14:18.560 Gave me three points tonight. 0:14:19.000 --> 0:14:23.520 Huh, Yeah, that's it. Hell. Not only that, I was 0:14:23.520 --> 0:14:26.160 hoping Rudy. I was hoping Rudy could have one of 0:14:26.200 --> 0:14:28.840 those games where he surprises you and does something offensively 0:14:29.160 --> 0:14:31.320 that he doesn't do often. But I was hoping that 0:14:31.360 --> 0:14:33.800 a game like tonight where he understands the importance of 0:14:34.160 --> 0:14:37.200 having some type of production offensively so you're not a liability. 0:14:37.600 --> 0:14:40.000 He didn't show up obviously having no rebounds and then 0:14:40.080 --> 0:14:43.040 having thirty one more rebounds. Then they God damn Wolves 0:14:43.280 --> 0:14:45.920 that you didn't have a chance. At no point, Joe, 0:14:46.160 --> 0:14:48.560 did they even have a chance to actually win this game. 0:14:48.560 --> 0:14:51.240 At one point they were down thirty points. 0:14:51.640 --> 0:14:56.920 I think they closed it down, maybe losing by thirty. 0:14:57.840 --> 0:15:01.360 Yeah, it was bad. The game of basketball is all 0:15:01.400 --> 0:15:03.720 about matchups, all about matchup, and I think most of 0:15:03.760 --> 0:15:06.320 the people when it came to this series, because you 0:15:06.360 --> 0:15:08.720 had at Man, you thought, you thought at Man and 0:15:08.840 --> 0:15:11.280 and some of the collective some of the collective cast 0:15:11.360 --> 0:15:13.880 that he did have along with Julius Randall, would find 0:15:13.880 --> 0:15:16.880 ways to get things done. The game where Winby went out. 0:15:17.480 --> 0:15:19.440 That was one of the games where they took advantage 0:15:19.440 --> 0:15:21.440 and came through to win that game. I think game 0:15:21.520 --> 0:15:24.000 one they were able to win because they were so 0:15:24.040 --> 0:15:26.800 aggressive and played Wimby so well and Womby were missing 0:15:26.840 --> 0:15:29.680 so many shots Joe, you know, business shots, so he 0:15:29.760 --> 0:15:32.920 wasn't a fishing from the field. And then the game tonight, hell, 0:15:33.080 --> 0:15:35.800 they had them. They had the bulls young the goddamn start. 0:15:36.000 --> 0:15:38.960 This game was supposed to be able to have. Uh 0:15:39.000 --> 0:15:42.600 the Spurs turned the ball over fifteen times. Minnesota only 0:15:42.640 --> 0:15:46.960 had five and they lost by thirty. Imagine if that flips, 0:15:47.000 --> 0:15:49.600 like if you flipped that around, It's crazy how bad 0:15:49.600 --> 0:15:51.800 they get beat. That's now you're looking at a knitch 0:15:52.240 --> 0:15:54.520 of sixers or Knicks Atlanta score. 0:15:55.480 --> 0:15:58.840 Yeah, yeah, because yeah, they were up what twenty nine? 0:15:58.840 --> 0:16:01.080 They were up twenty nine in this second and then 0:16:01.080 --> 0:16:03.840 the next day, you know, uh, Minnesota cut it all 0:16:03.840 --> 0:16:07.680 the way down to twelve. I'm like, oh my good. 0:16:08.120 --> 0:16:11.200 Turn over and turnover and turnovers and turnovers. And when 0:16:11.240 --> 0:16:13.640 the one thing they can't do moving forward is that 0:16:13.680 --> 0:16:15.640 you can't turn the ball over against that team that 0:16:15.640 --> 0:16:16.400 you're gonna play next. 0:16:17.320 --> 0:16:21.400 They're gonna man and and oh, Jo to kind of 0:16:21.400 --> 0:16:22.840 piggyback what you're saying about. 0:16:23.320 --> 0:16:23.760 Go bear. 0:16:24.640 --> 0:16:27.240 Yes, I think Minnesota gotta really take a hard look 0:16:27.240 --> 0:16:30.240 at this, fellas, because I mean, San Antonio is gonna 0:16:30.280 --> 0:16:32.040 be good for at least the next decade if we 0:16:32.240 --> 0:16:35.680 just keep it in one hundred. And with Rudy, you 0:16:35.720 --> 0:16:37.640 can't even run a pick and roll to even try 0:16:37.640 --> 0:16:39.360 to get him alive, not against Winby. 0:16:39.440 --> 0:16:41.440 Hell, he gonna he gonna, he gonna get that, you 0:16:41.480 --> 0:16:42.000 know what I mean. 0:16:42.440 --> 0:16:46.960 So he's non effective offensively and defensively, Hell, he can't. 0:16:47.640 --> 0:16:50.520 I mean what he gonna do. He can't guard nobody defensively. 0:16:53.280 --> 0:16:56.160 And hold on, Joe, just just to say so, put 0:16:56.160 --> 0:16:58.200 your GM cap on right now, right, put your put 0:16:58.240 --> 0:17:01.040 your head coaching cap on right now. You say, the 0:17:01.080 --> 0:17:03.000 Wolves have to think about what to do what to 0:17:03.080 --> 0:17:06.800 do with goddamn Rudy, him being a liability hell offensively 0:17:06.840 --> 0:17:10.080 and defensively when it comes to playing someone like Wemby. 0:17:10.560 --> 0:17:13.800 But hell, who's out there that can play Winby, especially 0:17:13.840 --> 0:17:16.840 with as good as he is, as tall as he is, 0:17:17.040 --> 0:17:20.000 as efficient as he is, and he's not selfish. Hell, 0:17:20.040 --> 0:17:21.720 he's a three level score. He can do everything. You 0:17:21.720 --> 0:17:23.639 can shoot from the three, he can shoot, you know, 0:17:23.720 --> 0:17:25.639 for the MIDI and he get he could take you 0:17:25.640 --> 0:17:28.600 off the goddamn dribbling drive. So there's really no answer 0:17:28.640 --> 0:17:32.080 for him in general. So I mean questioning how Rudy 0:17:32.119 --> 0:17:34.600 looked against him. Hell, anybody. 0:17:36.240 --> 0:17:36.679 To make it work? 0:17:36.720 --> 0:17:38.480 Do you got to put be able to score on him? 0:17:38.800 --> 0:17:39.160 You see? 0:17:39.200 --> 0:17:41.720 The thing is you let basically he relaxed and he's 0:17:41.800 --> 0:17:45.199 using all of his energy on our offense because he 0:17:45.280 --> 0:17:47.119 already Rudy ain't gonna give you nothing. 0:17:48.160 --> 0:17:51.480 So Rudy, Rudy, Rudy is the least of my concern. 0:17:51.680 --> 0:17:53.600 As a matter of fact, what time it is in 0:17:53.600 --> 0:17:57.200 France right now, my mom and dad watching this game. Damn, 0:17:58.200 --> 0:17:59.920 I wanted to have a tea and crumpet this time. 0:18:00.800 --> 0:18:02.480 I ain't thinking about him. 0:18:02.840 --> 0:18:03.640 He does. 0:18:05.000 --> 0:18:07.840 In a situation like this, you're supposed to be under 0:18:07.840 --> 0:18:10.399 the rest because you need to be worried about what 0:18:10.440 --> 0:18:12.640 the guy I'm going against, what he's capable of doing. 0:18:13.240 --> 0:18:14.600 Don't nobody worry about that? 0:18:14.720 --> 0:18:17.679 And we've seen this far too many times that Rudy 0:18:17.760 --> 0:18:22.879 Gobert becomes unplayable. You cannot have a guy making forty 0:18:23.040 --> 0:18:27.640 fifty million dollars. I don't care the position that becomes unplayable. 0:18:27.960 --> 0:18:29.800 How is my point guard? If I got a point 0:18:29.800 --> 0:18:32.360 guard Joe and I'm paying him thirty forty million dollars, 0:18:32.440 --> 0:18:34.320 but I can't have him on the court in the 0:18:34.359 --> 0:18:37.960 fourth quarter because he can't shoot. I can't have Rudy 0:18:38.000 --> 0:18:42.240 on the court because not only is he a liability defensively, 0:18:42.520 --> 0:18:45.879 he's more he's a he's a more of a liability offensively. 0:18:46.160 --> 0:18:51.119 He gives me nothing, hey, and you got a point. 0:18:51.600 --> 0:18:54.200 And when you think about it, the job that Rudy 0:18:54.280 --> 0:18:57.880 done against Jokish was amazing. Yes, but these are these 0:18:57.960 --> 0:19:02.000 are two totally different bigs. You know, Wimby is a 0:19:02.000 --> 0:19:04.320 for ness big. You know, he he go off the bound, 0:19:04.359 --> 0:19:07.000 shoot the three. You know, he's very elusive, the way 0:19:07.040 --> 0:19:09.080 he dribbles the ball getting back all he needs a 0:19:09.119 --> 0:19:11.119 step on your here he dunking the ball, you know 0:19:11.160 --> 0:19:11.520 what I mean? 0:19:11.560 --> 0:19:15.760 The thing for Rudy ojo uh. You know when he's. 0:19:15.600 --> 0:19:18.600 Out there on the perimeter doing dribble handoffs, women just 0:19:18.680 --> 0:19:19.480 kind of sitting back. 0:19:19.520 --> 0:19:19.720 Bro. 0:19:19.800 --> 0:19:21.840 He like, Okay, y'all do what y'all gonna do. I know, 0:19:21.920 --> 0:19:24.600 Rudy ain't shooting nothing out here, you know what I mean. 0:19:24.960 --> 0:19:27.320 So he just kind of sitting back in the paint, 0:19:27.520 --> 0:19:29.399 and it may look like he far away from you, 0:19:29.480 --> 0:19:32.159 but hell, once he extend, he gonna go get that, 0:19:33.000 --> 0:19:35.159 you know what I mean. So you gotta have somebody 0:19:35.160 --> 0:19:37.920 who's a threat. So that's why nas re plays so much. 0:19:38.240 --> 0:19:40.760 And you gotta play guys like Nasri who can shoot, 0:19:41.040 --> 0:19:44.320 because you gotta make Wimby respect the guy who he's guarding. 0:19:44.320 --> 0:19:44.439 Bro. 0:19:44.520 --> 0:19:46.560 Yeah, you gotta gotta get him out there paint, Bro, 0:19:46.640 --> 0:19:49.400 so you can get some driving lanes because if when 0:19:49.400 --> 0:19:51.640 you're playing Rudy and he just sitting back, it's hard 0:19:51.680 --> 0:19:53.680 for man to get in the teeth of the defense. 0:19:53.800 --> 0:19:55.720 A yo, any of those guys. 0:19:56.080 --> 0:19:59.199 So yeah, Shannon, I think I think they have to 0:19:59.200 --> 0:20:01.320 really take a look at, you know, how they can 0:20:01.359 --> 0:20:04.800 improve from a big man standpoint, going farther. I mean 0:20:04.920 --> 0:20:08.560 because San Antonio and Okay, see Bro, they here for 0:20:08.640 --> 0:20:09.240 the long haul. 0:20:10.240 --> 0:20:13.120 Yes, Hey, but I got a question though, Uncle Joe, 0:20:13.119 --> 0:20:16.840 think about this right what you're saying, what would Rudy 0:20:16.880 --> 0:20:20.240 being a liability obviously when playing the Spurs, but think 0:20:20.240 --> 0:20:22.400 about the Wolves and all the other I mean think 0:20:22.400 --> 0:20:24.880 about the Wolves and all the other teams that they played. No, 0:20:25.160 --> 0:20:26.800 he doesn't have this issue all the time. 0:20:29.280 --> 0:20:30.000 Let's give him back. 0:20:32.040 --> 0:20:36.199 Jokics. The three ball wasn't wasn't falling. And see Yokic 0:20:36.320 --> 0:20:38.320 is not a fleet of foot Yolkic is not as 0:20:38.359 --> 0:20:41.480 quick off the dribble as Wimby. See Wimby can get 0:20:41.480 --> 0:20:43.399 by you, Yokics couldn't get by you. 0:20:43.760 --> 0:20:46.560 And because Rudy could bother him with. 0:20:46.560 --> 0:20:50.320
