Speaker 1: All right, let's move around some quick updates news from
Speaker 1: run League. So the Sixers and Celtics played last night,
Speaker 1: because this is coming out Tuesday. I haven't seen the
Speaker 1: game yet, but I can just I can just already
Speaker 1: know what's gonna happen.
Speaker 2: The line is Celtics by nine and a half, and
Speaker 2: I would not take the Sixers plus nine and a half.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you that no embiid indefinitely.
Speaker 2: He hasn't even started doing physical activity, has not done
Speaker 2: any drills, has only been doing light stretching Shams. Shams
Speaker 2: said that it was even more severe than initially thought.
Speaker 2: He has gotten PRP. That is platelet rich plasma rich
Speaker 2: plasma rich replacement therapy. I believe it's what it's called.
Speaker 2: It's a big ass needle where they take your blood
Speaker 2: out of you and then they put it back in
Speaker 2: you after they spun it around in some sort of machine.
Speaker 1: Apparently it feels terrible.
Speaker 2: It's one of the thickest needles my friend has ever
Speaker 2: shown me who has gotten Kobe used to go to Germany.
Speaker 1: To get PRP on his old ass knees back in
Speaker 1: the day.
Speaker 2: It's not good. Will you say that in the middle
Speaker 2: of the playoffs not good. And if there's no EMBIID,
Speaker 2: then what are we.
Speaker 1: Even talking about.
Speaker 2: If there's no EMBIID in this series, what are we
Speaker 2: even saying. We're saying nothing, There's no it's done. It's
Speaker 2: a rap. It's a coast for the Boston Celtics. We
Speaker 2: thought that the Milwaukee Bucks had the easier path to
Speaker 2: the Eastern Conference Finals. Turns out that was a lie.
Speaker 2: Turns out avoiding Jimmy Butler.
Speaker 1: What you want to do?
Speaker 2: The only possibility for the Sixers to win the series,
Speaker 2: or at least compete in the series, is if James
Speaker 2: Harden turns back time like Chaer and is the Houston
Speaker 2: Rockets version of James Harden when he was an MVP
Speaker 2: putting up fifty in the regular He's not just got
Speaker 2: to be James Harden in Houston. He's got to be
Speaker 2: regular season James Harden in Houston, because God knows that
Speaker 2: James Harden has never been a good playoff player, and
Speaker 2: Tyrese Maxey has to be a version of himself we
Speaker 2: have only seen in glimpses just to compete unless the
Speaker 2: question there's one little factor that could possibly put a
Speaker 2: wrench in Boston's plans and his name is bible Thumpin'
Speaker 2: Joe Miszula, one of the worst clutch time play callers
Speaker 2: I've ever seen. Definitely surprised that he's the head coach
Speaker 2: of the Boston Celtics. But honestly, it might not even
Speaker 2: come into play because this thing might be a blowout
Speaker 2: until they figure out a way to put Joel Embiid's
Speaker 2: lifeless body back onto the court. Moving forward, on the
Speaker 2: Knicks Heat series that already looks shaky without Julius Randall,
Speaker 2: another player that has gone down with an injury. And
Speaker 2: I tell you what, he had played really well against
Speaker 2: the Heat for the regular season.
Speaker 1: He was missed.
Speaker 2: Knicks looked really good in the first half, they were
Speaker 2: blowing out the Heat and then what happened. Heat did
Speaker 2: heat things and it wasn't even close.
Speaker 1: In the second half.
Speaker 2: Heat blew the Knicks out in the Garden night Night
Speaker 2: sleep mask.
Speaker 1: One little wrinkle, Jimmy Butler turned his ankle.
Speaker 2: Apparently it was the size of the baseball. Yeah, not great,
Speaker 2: he'll play. I'm sure he's questionable for Game two. But
Speaker 2: without Jimmy, this is a G League team. No shade
Speaker 2: on Max Streuz or Gabe Vincent or fat ass Kyle
Speaker 2: Lowry who's re emerged from the crypt as well. But
Speaker 2: the playoffs reminds us never count out Eric Spolstra as
Speaker 2: for the next Julius Randall still day to day. Tib
Speaker 2: says that he's not limping, but he hasn't done anything
Speaker 2: on the court other than shooting on Friday. That sounds
Speaker 2: like he's probably not coming back for a game or
Speaker 2: two out West. Denver is about to to de thrown
Speaker 2: the Suns, aren't they? It did not look good. It
Speaker 2: did not look like a good fun situation for Phoenix.
Speaker 2: The Hoop Collective, boys Winhorse and all them said that
Speaker 2: Denver is playing as well as they have since midseason,
Speaker 2: and I think that's right. Jamal Murray is playing like
Speaker 2: Bubble Jamal Murray. Jokic is playing like a two time MVP.
Speaker 2: And here's a fun stat. In the last seven years,
Speaker 2: the Nuggets are eighteen.
Speaker 1: And three against the Suns.
Speaker 2: When Jamal Murray plays, they are one in eight without him.
Speaker 2: Remember that with Sons and four they were the ones
Speaker 2: that were the victims of Sons and four. The most
Speaker 2: concerning thing though about the Sons is their role players.
Speaker 1: They just they.
Speaker 2: Don't have that math to math up with the Nuggets.
Speaker 2: On top of the fact that DeAndre Ayton, my guy
Speaker 2: who called himself Dominaton, is complacent as hell, does not
Speaker 2: look interested in playing basketball under the rim at the moment.
Speaker 2: There's a viral clip of him standing around watching Jokic
Speaker 2: get multiple offensive rebounds and put backs, just watching just like, hey,
Speaker 2: shit looks fun as hell.
Speaker 1: This was a good game.
Speaker 2: He's got to figure that out. He's got to be
Speaker 2: more involved that they're going to compete. And speaking of
Speaker 2: the Sun's real quick little funny story about Kevin Durant,
Speaker 2: Jeff Green dropped a fascinating factoid following Game one at
Speaker 2: the presser. He said, because Katie and him play together
Speaker 2: in Seattle when there was a team there and they
Speaker 2: became super close, and Green said this, Kevin Durant has
Speaker 2: been lying about his height this whole time. He's actually
Speaker 2: not six eleven, He's not seven feet he's seven foot one.
Speaker 1: Kevin Durant, He's just been just.
Speaker 2: Been underestimating his height this whole time, and nobody's ever
Speaker 2: thought to break out a ruler and be like, hey,
Speaker 2: you look taller than six eleven. Like, there's just I
Speaker 2: know you're skinny, but you look taller than seven feet
Speaker 2: to me, And if you think about it, it's pretty
Speaker 2: on brand for Katie, Like, ah, nah, I'm like six'.
Speaker 2: Ten maybe he's more like Chet holmer and than we.
Speaker 2: Thought and then The, mavericks we haven't really talked about
Speaker 2: them much other than the fact that they got a
Speaker 2: fine for. Tanking Tim cato dropped an article about. Them
Speaker 2: they give some insight into what they're going to do
Speaker 2: in the off. Season their number one priority is to
Speaker 2: sign re Signed, kyrie of, course and now The, lakers
Speaker 2: which is an interesting little nugget of. Information The lakers
Speaker 2: are no longer interested in Signing Kyrie, irving even Though
Speaker 2: Kyrie irving has been showing up at every game behind
Speaker 2: the bench doing his best maybe pay me impression that
Speaker 2: you could ask.
Speaker 1: For he was at.
Speaker 2: The Laker memphis, game he was at The Sacramento kings.
Speaker 1: Game versus The. Warriors who is he trying to play
Speaker 1: for in that little?
Speaker 2: Duo BUT i Think kyrie's real opportunity to get a
Speaker 2: max deal's Probably dallas looks Like, Also dallas is not
Speaker 2: interested in Keeping Christian, wood so they had to pay
Speaker 2: a first round pick for him to be there for
Speaker 2: like one. Year sources are saying that he's no longer
Speaker 2: in their future. Plans javi l McGee no longer in
Speaker 2: their future, Plans Maxi klaiber probably not in their future.
Speaker 2: Plans And Dwight, powell even though they like him a,
Speaker 2: lot they might not keep. Him they're also looking to
Speaker 2: Move Tim. Hardaway it kind of sounds like In Everything
Speaker 2: Must Go, sale If i'm, honest gonna be really hard
Speaker 2: to Move Tim hardaway because he gets paid a lot of,
Speaker 2: money and you know how hard it is to move
Speaker 2: assets that are not as valuable as you're paying. Them
Speaker 2: their focus Is DeAndre, dominaton WHICH i don't know if
Speaker 2: necessarily is going to be a great situation for, them
Speaker 2: CONSIDERING i just told you his lack of interest in
Speaker 2: playing defense is quite evident in the, Playoffs Chris, middleton
Speaker 2: who has had a swollen knee since twenty, twelve on and,
Speaker 2: off and, yeah The MAVs are. Cooked Probably luke is
Speaker 2: gone if they don't make a move to at least
Speaker 2: show good. Faith luke is probably asking out next, year.
Speaker 1: Moving on To. Memphis, Memphis, boy was that embarrassing.
Speaker 2: And both the, stars, well both the players who've been
Speaker 2: popping off at the, Mouth Jahn morant And Dylan brooks
Speaker 2: both skipping out right after the game. Ends the miss media.
Speaker 2: Availability that's some punk. Shit, Uh and now we have
Speaker 2: a slew of offseason interviews to fall back.
Speaker 1: On, First John, morant they, said, hey how about? That
Speaker 1: you're good in The? West?
Speaker 2: Comment how about? That and he says he didn't regret saying.
Speaker 2: It how do you fix? This according to Jaw less
Speaker 2: trash talking friend of Showed, To Michael cole reported That
Speaker 2: jaw has pledged to be more humble and do less trash.
Speaker 2: Talking IF i do, that then the rest of the
Speaker 2: team will. Follow sounds Like jaw knows what we all,
Speaker 2: knew everybody who has a target on, them given the
Speaker 2: fact that they are fucking annoying and they have too
Speaker 2: much shit to say and they have accomplished. Nothing are
Speaker 2: The grizzlies The grizzlies if they don't have that unabashed,
Speaker 2: SWAGGER a Quiet Ja, MORANT i don't know what that
Speaker 2: will mean moving. FORWARD i think that they should double
Speaker 2: down and bea the NBA's.
Speaker 1: Villains don't know if that's gonna make them a better.
Speaker 2: Team Dylan brooks and his poked The bear comments probably
Speaker 2: got him a one way ticket out Of.
Speaker 1: Memphis he's probably not going to be re.
Speaker 2: Signed Taylor jenkins And Zach cleman both said that self
Speaker 2: created distractions hurt The grizzlies in the. Playoffs looks Like
Speaker 2: Dylan brook's probably out of. There one thing's for. SURE
Speaker 2: Gm Zach cleman says that the grizz are going to
Speaker 2: be active one hundred percent active on the. Trademarket that
Speaker 2: means probably going after mckil, bridges probably going after Ogn,
Speaker 2: andobi probably going After Pascal, siakam all the guys that are,
Speaker 2: available most likely for the right.
Speaker 1: Price that's all the time that we.
