1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:05,480
Speaker 1: And the NBA Finals are under way. We got Game

2
00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:08,680
Speaker 1: three possibly happening by the time you've heard this actually

3
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:12,720
Speaker 1: will happen by the Tippen first. Uh, it has happened,

4
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:16,000
Speaker 1: and we will wildly speculate what has happened there. But

5
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:18,040
Speaker 1: we're are mostly going to be about Game three. Even

6
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:21,880
Speaker 1: though you have seen it, we have not. Can you

7
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:26,920
Speaker 1: believe Clay thirty six for thirty six unbelievable? But we

8
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:30,160
Speaker 1: are joined by Utah jazz beat writer and co host

9
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:34,920
Speaker 1: of the Unsalvagable podcast, Sarah Odd. I'm mild right, and

10
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:41,160
Speaker 1: I'm Jack O'Bryan and this is Miles and Jack got

11
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:47,840
Speaker 1: Matt boost boost perfectly in sync. Nailed it once again.

12
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 1: Welcome Sarah. I know we said that this was a

13
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 1: silly podcast hosted by dummies, um, but I think you

14
00:00:57,480 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 1: I'm glad that you got to see it in person.

15
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 1: That was really it was really beautiful. I mean it

16
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 1: went along. I mean the way you described the show

17
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 1: to me, it just it fits so seamlessly. To a

18
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 1: broadcast professional such as yourself. This must be eye opening

19
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:20,400
Speaker 1: that so this is your job, you're saying to yourself,

20
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 1: I'm assuming. Um, thank you so much for taking the

21
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 1: time to be on our silly show. Yeah, no problem,

22
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 1: NBA Finals. I'm absolutely I'm honored. Oh and we're honored

23
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:39,039
Speaker 1: by our shared love of David Cross that we discovered

24
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 1: right before we started recording. Um, yeah, Finals Finals, Sarah,

25
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 1: what do you think? It's NBA? Right? And come on, okay,

26
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 1: who's in it? The war Warriors and the Celtics. This

27
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 1: sounds like a good matchup. Huh? Is it weird if

28
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 1: I just start out by saying that I really love

29
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 1: this Celtics team. No, that's great, and actually we have

30
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 1: had a severe drought of Celtics love on the podcast.

31
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,520
Speaker 1: So I'm I'm glad that you said that, and let's

32
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 1: dig into it. Tell us what you love. I mean,

33
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 1: you're our our good friend. Mari Davis will know that.

34
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:18,919
Speaker 1: I I am a huge and long time Larry Bird fan.

35
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 1: I've never been like a Celtics fan. I grew up

36
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:24,520
Speaker 1: more of a players fan, and so he was one

37
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 1: of my favorite players. But that's neither here nor there.

38
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,640
Speaker 1: This Celtics team is really exciting to me. Like I

39
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 1: just I love Marcus Smart, I love Jayson Tatum, I

40
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:38,239
Speaker 1: love Jaylen Brown. I am excited that Al Horford seems

41
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 1: to not be washed. I was especially nice for a

42
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 1: Sixers fantasye I was, I love that, And I mean,

43
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 1: as someone that covers the Jazz, I tell people all

44
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,240
Speaker 1: the time like Al Horford is a perfect example of

45
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 1: Mike Conley might not be washed. He just might not

46
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 1: be for you, you know. And so maybe maybe Mike

47
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 1: Conley will spread his tiny little wings and and go

48
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 1: elsewhere and look great. But it doesn't seem like it's

49
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 1: going to be with the Jazz. And I mean, I

50
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 1: don't have a lot of hope for Al Horford outside

51
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 1: of this year. I think he's, you know, Father Time's undefeated.

52
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:15,559
Speaker 1: But he looks great and he's got really long eyelashes

53
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 1: and that makes me jealous all the time. And beautiful eyes,

54
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:22,800
Speaker 1: beautiful eyelash, beautiful eyes and eyelashes, which is really important

55
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 1: in the game. People don't give that enough credit. Defenders

56
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:31,640
Speaker 1: often get lost in them. Um. Game one was super impressive.

57
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 1: He took the game over. I have to say it's

58
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 1: been two runs have like defined Game one and Game two.

59
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 1: The Celtics fourth quarter run was I was ready to

60
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 1: I was like, that's it, seld it some four That's

61
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 1: like I was. I was I thought the series was

62
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 1: over because I was like, there when they do that,

63
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 1: and I thought this every time I've seen them play dominant.

64
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 1: I've seen every team like play well, and nobody plays

65
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 1: as well as they do when they've got it going.

66
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 1: I feel he hit what six three pointers in that

67
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 1: first game and then yeah, completely just dominated that run.

68
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 1: I just want to say about al Horford as somebody

69
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 1: who went to u C. L A And watched him

70
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 1: beat us, and also being a lifelong Laker fan and

71
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 1: watching him come to life as a geriatric millennial in

72
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:26,720
Speaker 1: the Celtics. I'm like, I've immediate and like I don't

73
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 1: care about those things because now I have generational like

74
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:34,160
Speaker 1: camaraderie and allegiance style Horford where I'm like, you go out.

75
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,159
Speaker 1: I felt really proud of him. I was watching them.

76
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 1: I was watching the game one with my with my

77
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:42,840
Speaker 1: dad my stepmom, who were both eighty three years old,

78
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:47,360
Speaker 1: and I was yelling at the TV like he's so old,

79
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: but he can still do it. He's so old. Look

80
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 1: at that old man go. And then they're like how

81
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 1: old is he? And I was like, I don't know,

82
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 1: like younger than me, five years younger than yeah, six

83
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 1: or actually, yeah, he just turned yeah for you. And

84
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 1: it's not like his hitting threes like I I expect

85
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 1: him to, you know, have have his moments where he

86
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 1: gets open from three and their their offense was really clicking.

87
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 1: His defense was like that is hard to just pick

88
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 1: up like an extra gear on defense when you're thirty six.

89
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 1: But his defense was like really, I mean, that's why

90
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 1: I think. That's also the thing that I'm reacting to

91
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 1: when I'm seeing them and I'm like calling it Celtics

92
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 1: in four that they defend every single person on the

93
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:38,039
Speaker 1: floor defends like at a shutdown level when they're when

94
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,839
Speaker 1: they've got it going, and like I don't think there's

95
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 1: anyone else, and then their offenses like really can be

96
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 1: pretty unstoppable. It's a it's a series that I've long

97
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:51,600
Speaker 1: been a believer that great offense is not going to

98
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,479
Speaker 1: be as good as great defense. I like defense better,

99
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 1: and so it's a great series to kind of maybe

100
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,839
Speaker 1: give some a data point to that argue. Meant because

101
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 1: whoever comes out of this like there, like you said,

102
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,599
Speaker 1: the Celtics have a great offense and and then on

103
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 1: top of that have like the best defense in the

104
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 1: year in the League this year. The Warriors have always

105
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 1: had a great offense, they're not slouches on defense, so

106
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 1: they were like well matched. So it's like, is it

107
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 1: going to be like the offensive juggernaut of Golden State

108
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:20,040
Speaker 1: or is it going to be the defensive juggernaut of

109
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 1: the Celtics. And so I hope there's this thing I've

110
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 1: been saying for years that defense wins championships. Uh, you know,

111
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 1: offense might win some games, but defense wins championships. I

112
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 1: don't know if you've seen my t shirts, but that's

113
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 1: a phrase that came up with a couple of years. Yeah,

114
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,679
Speaker 1: So what what should we talk about? Should we talk about?

115
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 1: I mean Steph opened up Game one making six threes

116
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 1: in the first especially felt like he was on some

117
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 1: next level stuff when he passed it to Clay in

118
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 1: the corner and then just turned and started running back

119
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:58,359
Speaker 1: down court as Clay like shot and made the three.

120
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 1: It was like a level of confidence in himself and

121
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 1: his team that was pretty like that. That that's usually

122
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,280
Speaker 1: like I don't know what what they reserved for when

123
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 1: they're like put putting a team down um at the

124
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 1: at the end of the game and Green with a

125
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 1: quick outlet to curry hands at this clay and just

126
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 1: runs away. Just look at the confidence you've seen this

127
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 1: movie before, his ability to come down and look at

128
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 1: what he's not even going geta He's not even paying attention.

129
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 1: He really it really it's like the level of I

130
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 1: don't even know if he shot it, but all I

131
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 1: know is I got him the ball down there and

132
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna all right here. He finished his job. Yeah, right,

133
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 1: and he does the easy bit in the corner like that,

134
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 1: he founds out, finds out three possessions later that he missed.

135
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 1: It's like, wait, you missed that. Sorry, I was just

136
00:07:54,720 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 1: checking the score. I couldn't um. And then yeah, the

137
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 1: then the run started in the fourth quarter. I mean,

138
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 1: it really felt like it had the rhythm of a

139
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 1: lot of Warriors wins right where they're like up ten,

140
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 1: you know, the other team like comes back, but then

141
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 1: they kind of close them out at the end, and

142
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 1: then it was like minutes and the Celtics were up ten.

143
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 1: It was truly because and that's what like, when I'm

144
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 1: talking about the Celtics dominance, it's not just that they're

145
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 1: making a run on offense, it's they're making a run

146
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 1: on offense and it completely extinguishing your offense on the

147
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 1: other end in a way that's like demoralizing. It's like

148
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 1: you're not even really getting a shot or like you're

149
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:38,319
Speaker 1: throwing it up as the shot clock expires, which feels

150
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 1: appropriate because it feels like, you know, game to kind

151
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:43,960
Speaker 1: of some some lessons were learned from that game. One

152
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 1: maybe they had a lid on the basket, Like it

153
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 1: just felt like everything that they were able, like small

154
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:53,559
Speaker 1: things like little little runners or floaters that like would

155
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:57,559
Speaker 1: almost be like given points for the Celtics, like they

156
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 1: were missing everything. Yeah, and the like when Golden State

157
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 1: got it going, so that would be the second run

158
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 1: of the first two games when it got to the

159
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 1: point that at the end of the third quarter, Jordan

160
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:13,080
Speaker 1: Pool had the ball and was dribbling it up, was

161
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 1: defended by a couple of different people, was dribbling you know,

162
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:20,080
Speaker 1: around them like they were parking cones, and then pulled

163
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 1: up from mid court and as it was leaving his hand,

164
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 1: I had no doubt in my mind that that was going.

165
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:29,440
Speaker 1: That's actually my like what what dope of the of

166
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 1: the past week was him just pulling up and the

167
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 1: confidence that I had that that was going in. I

168
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 1: never saw a game end at the end of the

169
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 1: third quarter before, but it kind of felt like it

170
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 1: was like fully full on, like put the extinct, like

171
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 1: extinguished the flame with that because there really was no

172
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:52,680
Speaker 1: coming back. And yeah, there was just something about watching

173
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 1: that go in just being you know, feeling like you're

174
00:09:56,080 --> 00:10:00,599
Speaker 1: completely powerless to the inevitability of that shot. Yeah, and

175
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:03,080
Speaker 1: all honesty, I didn't I didn't watch the fourth quarter

176
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:05,720
Speaker 1: because I fully was like, well, this game's over and

177
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 1: just walked away. Yeah, it was. I actually rewatched the

178
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:13,199
Speaker 1: third quarter because our dinner had just come and so

179
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 1: like I was just checking in and I was like, Okay,

180
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:17,840
Speaker 1: they're up ten, like it looks like it's gonna you

181
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 1: know there, it's gonna be a similar position heading into

182
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:22,560
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. And then I came back in and

183
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 1: they were up like twenty and they like Jordan Pool

184
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 1: was making a shot from mid court. And then I

185
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 1: had to show my dad who's in town, and like

186
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:33,719
Speaker 1: rewind it. And as I was rewinding it, I was like,

187
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 1: look how quick this run happens. And I went back

188
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 1: to like the five minute mark because I thought that's

189
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,199
Speaker 1: when I started. And then the Celtics making another couple

190
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 1: of three, and I was like, oh wait, like this

191
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 1: so they were only up six when the run started.

192
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 1: And the run happened in like two and a half minutes.

193
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:55,440
Speaker 1: It was pretty pretty wild. Should we check out that

194
00:10:55,440 --> 00:11:01,959
Speaker 1: that dagger deep branch dagger? Yeah, yeah, do it white,

195
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 1: So that's get a good look at it. Give you also,

196
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 1: like the crossover move. To do a crossover like that,

197
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:20,840
Speaker 1: like a step in front of the half court line's

198
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:24,840
Speaker 1: so indignant. It's almost too like he was doing a

199
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 1: step back to make sure he was behind the three

200
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 1: point line too, right. It didn't even have like this

201
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 1: sort of like the body shape momentum of someone like

202
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 1: just throwing it up like with their forward come back

203
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 1: and just give you that. It was the first step

204
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:45,679
Speaker 1: back that almost created a backcourt violation for real. It was.

205
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 1: It was cool and they made it look so easy.

206
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 1: And Steff was making, you know, some of his ridiculous

207
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 1: deep threes that I started like looking at their shooting

208
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 1: splits to see like, so are they like from like

209
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 1: beyond there, like this over thirty three ft there they're shooting,

210
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:08,840
Speaker 1: but like could this be a weapon? Could this be?

211
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 1: Could this be what? They just do from now on,

212
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 1: is they just come and start coming down and pulling

213
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 1: up from the logo. Oh man, that's a pretty far shot.

214
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 1: Huh yeah, I mean that's what we were saying. Like

215
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 1: the thing for us about that shot, Sarah, is like,

216
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 1: that was so far, Like they shot it from so far. Um.

217
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 1: That was literally our commentary on it before you joined,

218
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:34,319
Speaker 1: and then we decided to try and act smarter. But

219
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 1: really all we could say was, yeah, oh my god,

220
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:42,840
Speaker 1: that was so far, Miles, did you see how far

221
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:48,840
Speaker 1: that was? No, dude, that was so far? Like, oh

222
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 1: my god, that's not a three point should be a

223
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 1: far pointer? Ya, No, yeah, and that's why you came

224
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:58,319
Speaker 1: to this podcast. Yeah. Thanks, all right, that was really

225
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:02,960
Speaker 1: fun guys. But look at the time, just like in

226
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 1: watching this though too before, I feel like we didn't

227
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 1: really quite predict an outcome. Jack. We're just like, I

228
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 1: can see either team winning, but I could honestly really

229
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 1: see a reality where the Celtics win. Sarah, did you

230
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:17,200
Speaker 1: have a prediction after these first two games or before

231
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 1: going into it? And has that changed after? You know,

232
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 1: obviously games as as we record this, game three hasn't

233
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 1: been played, but just off the strength of the first two. Yeah,

234
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 1: before the series started, I had said Celtics in seven,

235
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 1: and so I'm just gonna stand by that. I'm Celtics

236
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:34,559
Speaker 1: and six, and I stand by that. I think what

237
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:37,960
Speaker 1: we've seen so far, Yeah, I'm afraid to articulate anything

238
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:40,839
Speaker 1: out loud for the universe to deliver the opposite. So

239
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say those sounds, those sound good, sound great.

240
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:48,679
Speaker 1: I just don't want to say. I just don't want

241
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 1: to say I need to prevent an eighteenth ring Warriors please,

242
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 1: And then it's gonna be hard. Cut to green and

243
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:59,839
Speaker 1: white confetti falling onto my sweaty face as I watched

244
00:13:59,880 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 1: another banner cup this Celtics team, Like, these players are

245
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 1: not the players that have the championship banners in the

246
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:07,600
Speaker 1: Boston Garden, right, So that's a new team. But like

247
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 1: it's either going to the Celtics who have won a

248
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 1: ton of titles or like the Warriors dynasty team that

249
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:18,479
Speaker 1: has already won a bunch of titles. Like either way, yeah,

250
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 1: green and white confetti falling on your sweaty faces, you

251
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 1: eat moms spaghetti those yeah, um, yeah, you don't want

252
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 1: to lose yourself in that moment. I'll tell you that much.

253
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 1: I'm worried about Jayson Tatum's shoulder. Okay, So in that

254
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:42,239
Speaker 1: game too, I feel like Wiggins was like molecularly attached

255
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 1: to him. Yeah, and it was like he couldn't shake him,

256
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 1: like no matter how many screens, Like he was just

257
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 1: like it was clear what the assignment was for Wiggins.

258
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 1: How much of that did you feel? Like You're like,

259
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 1: he's he's carrying something. Are we giving anything to that defense?

260
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 1: How do you how do you look at that? I

261
00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 1: feel like I noticed it a lot more when the

262
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:04,960
Speaker 1: Celtics are on defense, Like like he wasn't like up

263
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 1: in guys as much as he has been in the past,

264
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 1: at least through you know, the playoffs and on some

265
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 1: of the switches or even like just some of like

266
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 1: a like pinned downs and then they have a guy

267
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 1: coming around like sort of backdoor, but it's it's a decoy.

268
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 1: Like he was just like motionless in those moments and

269
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 1: just like letting guys get through. And then I'd see

270
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 1: him like running down the court to the other side,

271
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:30,840
Speaker 1: like touching his shoulder and I'm just like get him

272
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 1: out of there. He's hurting and he's hurting the team. Now,

273
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 1: if movies have taught me anything, he just needs to

274
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 1: slam his shoulder into a barrier of some sort and

275
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 1: then scream really loud, and then it'll be back to

276
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 1: back to Now. I love that. I love that as

277
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 1: a solution. Yea, the lethal weapon to an elite athlete. Yeah,

278
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 1: just smashing a bunch against his locker. Yeah, how about this? Please? Jason? No,

279
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 1: what are you know? You're just a physio. That's that's

280
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 1: really funny. I don't, I like don't watch movies, and

281
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 1: very famously have not seen almost any movies that anyone

282
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 1: ever wants to talk about. But lethal weapon too, is like,

283

307
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 1: life covering the NBA, and we are back. I know

308
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 1: we were talking about Jack. Your favorite moment was that

309
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:05,879
Speaker 1: Pool three, just splashing in the pool. But there was

310
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:08,200
Speaker 1: this one moment that I felt like so many people

311
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:10,199
Speaker 1: were talking about it on the internet of you know,

312
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 1: Draymond Green was a big talking point in game to like,

313
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:16,440
Speaker 1: what what's he doing? This guy's playing football out there

314
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:20,480
Speaker 1: and this one moment. You do exclusively consume these games

315
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:26,160
Speaker 1: via the Celtics Reddit, but for them, so everybody's getting

316
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 1: by how they can when their teams on the off season. Okay,

317
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 1: and this one clip seemed to inspire much anger and look,

318
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:38,360
Speaker 1: there's nothing like seeing Draymond just kind of pushing your

319
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 1: team around down the court, just so the greatest shooter

320
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:43,200
Speaker 1: of all time can have a nice open three. I

321
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:46,199
Speaker 1: mean it wasn't open, but so we could have a

322
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:50,160
Speaker 1: split second where he had an angle where could shot

323
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:53,720
Speaker 1: like top gun style desperation from behind, but yet nothing

324
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:57,920
Speaker 1: could happen. So let's just enjoy this moment bringing it up.

325
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:08,720
Speaker 1: Raymond's kind of pops out uh screen, it's straight up.

326
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:11,919
Speaker 1: Let's just watch one more time. Uh just what just

327
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 1: followed Draymond on this So it pops out screen steps

328
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:20,399
Speaker 1: guy screens his own man, but like the screen is

329
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:25,720
Speaker 1: just pushing pushing them backwards like a bouncer. Um, yeah,

330
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:28,320
Speaker 1: a big man, sorry man, but my little bro must

331
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:30,919
Speaker 1: take a shot. It really felt like being at like

332
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 1: a basketball court where you play with bigger kids and

333
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:35,679
Speaker 1: they're just like the one older kids like let my

334
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:41,440
Speaker 1: little brother take a shot, don't block it. And you're like, but,

335
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 1: like I was saying, so, I feel like Draymond is

336
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 1: the Warriors dude, Marcus Smart is the Celtics dude. And

337
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:52,920
Speaker 1: these are the people who it looks like they're out

338
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 1: there like walking right up to the line, you know,

339
00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 1: maybe dancing on it a little more in Draymond's case,

340
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 1: But I feel like they're people who have studied like

341
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 1: what exactly, what is a foulm? What isn't like more

342
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:09,239
Speaker 1: than anybody else, and are like this is not just

343
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:12,879
Speaker 1: being done by accident. They they're also like the smartest

344
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:17,640
Speaker 1: players out there. And like, you know, the people who

345
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 1: the other team, if you're rooting for the other team,

346
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 1: you do not like these guys. You know, those are

347
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:27,160
Speaker 1: the teams you always want on your team down the road.

348
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:31,320
Speaker 1: Those dudes, Yeah, they're the like it reminds me of

349
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 1: like Rodman with the second three peet for the Bulls,

350
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:37,919
Speaker 1: like Lamb Deer with the pistons. Um. We're trying to

351
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:41,280
Speaker 1: do it for like every kind of dynasty or championship team.

352
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:45,440
Speaker 1: I guess she'd with the Pistons or Ben Ben Wallace

353
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 1: with the Pistons. The Pistons that that second run of

354
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:50,440
Speaker 1: the Pistons were just kind of a lot of these dudes.

355
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:53,920
Speaker 1: Bird was kind of that guy like for the Celtics,

356
00:20:53,960 --> 00:21:02,480
Speaker 1: he was just, you know, really rough and yeah, yeah, exactly. Um,

357
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 1: you know, I I asked Jabari and Miles who was

358
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 1: for the Lakers dynasty and you guys were saying Rick

359
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 1: Fox and big Shot Bob or yeah, Peta for the

360
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 1: for the later ones? Again, who a player who I

361
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:21,439
Speaker 1: despised until he should have been our form? And you're like,

362
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:25,200
Speaker 1: that's why, because there's nothing worse than having those players

363
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:29,160
Speaker 1: that energetically changed the game. Like Draymond said after Game two,

364
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:31,400
Speaker 1: he was like, in Game one, it felt like they

365
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:34,719
Speaker 1: didn't feel us, they didn't feel our presence, and I

366
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 1: can't I wouldn't be able to go to sleep if

367
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 1: we lost these finals, and knowing we didn't actually let

368
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:43,000
Speaker 1: them know that we are here, you are playing against us,

369
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 1: and when you see again, like what that does to

370
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 1: a team, and especially just as a fan, watching that

371
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:52,720
Speaker 1: frustration from a player, kind of getting in someone's head,

372
00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:56,160
Speaker 1: it's a very potent force. And I think that's it's

373
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 1: nice to kind of see those see that kind of

374
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 1: really uh pick center stage in the series because I

375
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:05,600
Speaker 1: really really really and there's like really smart stuff to

376
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 1: like what you're talking about is uh when you're when

377
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:10,679
Speaker 1: you're saying knowing kind of where the line is and

378
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:13,160
Speaker 1: like how much you can push certain refs. But also

379
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 1: like Draymond Marcus smart, especially Draymond in this case, like

380
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:19,640
Speaker 1: he knows when he gets an early tech, like that

381
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:24,480
Speaker 1: might be an actual tactic, right, because if he knows

382
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:27,399
Speaker 1: that if he gets an early tech that sort of

383
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:30,160
Speaker 1: the ticky tech stuff that he might get a technical

384
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 1: for in other games, they won't give it to him

385
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:36,159
Speaker 1: for the next three quarters because like that will be

386
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:38,840
Speaker 1: taken into consideration, like they're not going to eject him

387
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:42,919
Speaker 1: for like you know, a taunting foul, right, And he

388
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:45,880
Speaker 1: also seems to have like refined it for himself too,

389
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:49,919
Speaker 1: because there's been times when he does get ejected and

390
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 1: that may change the entire complexion of a series. And

391
00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 1: I think that's also you know, I think everyone's kind

392
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 1: of going in with their their new lessons. But yeah,

393
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:02,200
Speaker 1: it's always good to all right, Sarah So you have

394
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:04,399
Speaker 1: what I think a lot of people would consider one

395
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:06,960
Speaker 1: of the best jobs in the world, which is getting

396
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:11,119
Speaker 1: to watch basketball for a living the thesias in person.

397
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 1: And something I always like to ask people who get

398
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:18,000
Speaker 1: to do that is, is there a player who you

399
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 1: feel like people have to see in person or should

400
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:25,120
Speaker 1: have caught in person? Like, just over your career, there's

401
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of times that I thought

402
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:28,800
Speaker 1: that about a lot of different players. I mean, I

403
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 1: used to think that about Lebron, like watching him in

404
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:35,520
Speaker 1: person my first couple of years covering the league was

405
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:38,920
Speaker 1: it's just unreal. It's unreal because like you don't understand

406
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:42,520
Speaker 1: like what six nine to eighty and four percent body

407
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:46,480
Speaker 1: fat looks like until you've faster than any right until

408
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:49,959
Speaker 1: like you see him like stretching before a game, and

409
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,880
Speaker 1: like his legs are like the size of my entire body,

410
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:55,480
Speaker 1: and I'm like, I just like don't understand how this

411
00:23:55,600 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 1: physiologically works. Other guy eyes that I I've thought that

412
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:06,640
Speaker 1: about our I think I think it's guys that I've

413
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 1: been able to watch on a consistent basis. So it's like,

414
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:12,120
Speaker 1: you know, if you watch Clay Thompson on one night

415
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:15,600
Speaker 1: or another and you don't see him around every day.

416
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:17,960
Speaker 1: You might catch a good game of his, but like

417
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:21,440
Speaker 1: if you were to watch him every single night, watch

418
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:27,560
Speaker 1: eighty two games of Clay Thompson. Right, he's so underrated defensively,

419
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:29,560
Speaker 1: and at least he was you know before the A

420
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 1: C L and the Achilles right. Um. And then I

421
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:36,639
Speaker 1: also saw him. I was in the building the night

422
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 1: that he scored thirty seven points in a quarter, and like,

423
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 1: it is one of the most amazing things I've ever seen.

424
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:46,360
Speaker 1: Like all of the rules about being a member of

425
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:51,200
Speaker 1: like press row and like trying to keep it professional,

426
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:53,760
Speaker 1: all of that went out the window. Everyone that was

427
00:24:55,680 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 1: everyone was it was we were all like screaming, like

428
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:06,520
Speaker 1: we were watching a dunk contest and just in awe

429
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:09,240
Speaker 1: of what was happening because it didn't make sense. And

430
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:11,919
Speaker 1: it's you know, people forget that it wasn't just thirty

431
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:13,800
Speaker 1: seven points in a quarter. He wasn't it wasn't even

432
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:18,359
Speaker 1: the whole court. It was like nine minutes and thirty seconds. Yeah, yeah,

433
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 1: that's what forgive my ignorance. What's usually like the decorum,

434
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:26,119
Speaker 1: Uh you know, what's the sense of decorum with the press,

435
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:30,680
Speaker 1: Like no celebrating like, no, no overreacting. Like sometimes someone

436
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:32,760
Speaker 1: makes like a huge dunk or crazy play and we're like,

437
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:37,119
Speaker 1: oh okay, and then pretend to take notes on it,

438
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:44,160
Speaker 1: like wow, you're texting body, Oh that looked great, that's

439
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:52,480
Speaker 1: what all right? Um that shot was far far Yeah,

440
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:54,639
Speaker 1: So you just I mean, they're mostly it's just about

441
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 1: like not overreacting. You're beating. You're there because you're you're

442
00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:01,040
Speaker 1: doing a job. Like in that moment, we were fans

443
00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:03,959
Speaker 1: of the game because it was insane. It was mayhem,

444
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:06,480
Speaker 1: it was insane what was happening. So that's that's something

445
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:09,280
Speaker 1: that I'm always gonna remember. And also Joel em beat

446
00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:13,440
Speaker 1: is one that I think everybody should see because if

447
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:16,919
Speaker 1: people especially from like fans of the Western Conference, you

448
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 1: get to see the Eastern Conference players even less. And

449
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:22,920
Speaker 1: if you can go and watch that guy play a game,

450
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:27,880
Speaker 1: he's so impressive. You're watching somebody that size with that

451
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:32,160
Speaker 1: touch on that footwork is really is really cool. Yeah

452
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 1: you know I played against you a little bit. Uh No,

453
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:38,040
Speaker 1: I didn't like. Yeah, just getting to watch him like

454
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:41,239
Speaker 1: from fifteen rows back is pretty cool because you get

455
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:43,840
Speaker 1: a better sense of scale. I got to see Lebron

456
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:47,119
Speaker 1: up close at I think it was the Summer League

457
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:52,160
Speaker 1: in Boston his rookie year, and even then, like I

458
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:55,639
Speaker 1: could not believe what I was seeing. But yeah, the

459
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:59,280
Speaker 1: Clay thing, though, is I mean that that has always

460
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:01,520
Speaker 1: stuck out to me as when he gets locked in,

461
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 1: it's it's otherworldly and the fact that you were there

462
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:07,680
Speaker 1: for that in person, like I feel like I would

463
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:10,640
Speaker 1: be almost like a little bit like I would feel

464
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:12,800
Speaker 1: like it was spooky, Like I would be like creeped

465
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:15,160
Speaker 1: out a little bit. I'd be like, yo, I've told

466
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:17,679
Speaker 1: this story before. I left the arena that night and

467
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:22,800
Speaker 1: I cried in the parking lot because yeah, because I

468
00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:26,199
Speaker 1: was like I felt what you were saying, Like I'm

469
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:29,800
Speaker 1: so lucky that this is my job, and like you know,

470
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:31,560
Speaker 1: like everyone else in the world, there are things that

471
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:34,359
Speaker 1: I complain about with my job, but I am completely

472
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:37,919
Speaker 1: aware of the privilege that like I get to watch

473
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 1: this type of athletic greatness. And I left the arena

474
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:46,960
Speaker 1: that night was like I got paid to look at that. Yeah, Yeah,

475
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:51,920
Speaker 1: what were do you remember like a given reaction to

476
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:56,000
Speaker 1: like people in in preth throw like after he like

477
00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:58,959
Speaker 1: when he was just because at the end there it

478
00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:02,639
Speaker 1: was when you're NBA jam and you know that the

479
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:06,480
Speaker 1: computers basically like glitching and you can just like touch

480
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:08,480
Speaker 1: it like with it just hit but real quick, and

481
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:12,080
Speaker 1: it's yeah, and it's just gonna go up and like

482
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:14,159
Speaker 1: he doesn't even you don't have to like be squared up.

483
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:16,439
Speaker 1: You don't even have to You just like tap it

484
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:18,520
Speaker 1: and the second it leaves your hand, you know what's

485
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:21,040
Speaker 1: going in. And that was like how he was shooting

486
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:23,359
Speaker 1: at the end. It was it was like he was

487
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:26,399
Speaker 1: just flicking it towards the basket because he was like, yeah, no,

488
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:29,640
Speaker 1: I don't know, man, it's just it's weird. But everything

489
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:32,160
Speaker 1: that leaves my hands going in in this NBA game

490
00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:35,560
Speaker 1: as I'm being guarded by people with seven foot one

491
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:39,240
Speaker 1: wing spid, do you remember like how other people reacting

492
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:41,440
Speaker 1: or like what, Yeah, there's one moment that sticks out

493
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:43,600
Speaker 1: because kind of through the whole thing, all of us

494
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:46,720
Speaker 1: were like looking side decided each other and we were

495
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:49,920
Speaker 1: and it was like we were also confused. We were

496
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:53,600
Speaker 1: just like wait, what what? What did that happen? What?

497
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 1: And then there was a moment I'm sure that you

498
00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:58,960
Speaker 1: know you can find it on YouTube where there's a

499
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:01,680
Speaker 1: whistle or dead all for some reason, and he shoots

500
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:06,040
Speaker 1: after the whistle and it goes in and the building

501
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:09,120
Speaker 1: erupted like he'd hit the winning shot during a Game

502
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:12,200
Speaker 1: seven in the finals. And I remember, I'm pretty sure

503
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:15,080
Speaker 1: that it was Danny LaRue who was sitting next to me,

504
00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:16,920
Speaker 1: and he just he had like a notebook and he

505
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:18,959
Speaker 1: just like threw it up and got up and walked away,

506
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 1: and I was like, that's the right response. And he's

507
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:25,680
Speaker 1: never been seen again. That was the last anyone ever

508
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 1: saw Danny LaRue just walked off, muttering into the just

509
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:34,600
Speaker 1: all overgrown and stuff, and he hasn't stopped walking. But

510
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:36,840
Speaker 1: it is like one of those things like magic, right,

511
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:39,960
Speaker 1: like when someone's doing a magic trick and they go

512
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:42,960
Speaker 1: pick a card, any card, and then they then they

513
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:45,480
Speaker 1: put it back and they shuffle it and then they go,

514
00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:47,360
Speaker 1: is this your card? No? Is this your card? No?

515
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:50,360
Speaker 1: And they say not, check your back pocket and you

516
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 1: say no, no, yeah, and then you pull it out

517
00:29:57,080 --> 00:30:00,320
Speaker 1: and you're like like, that is the same thing of

518
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:03,160
Speaker 1: watching somebody so locked in because you have to go

519
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:06,400
Speaker 1: this can't be possible. And it was so funny because

520
00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:09,400
Speaker 1: while it was happening, also you could see that like

521
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:13,160
Speaker 1: whatever game planner scheme that the Warriors were playing with,

522
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:16,440
Speaker 1: they gave it up and then and it was very

523
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:19,320
Speaker 1: obvious that their game plan was okay, everybody just passed

524
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 1: to Clay and they were they were passing in the

525
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:25,959
Speaker 1: ball in ridiculous positions like that's where he had no

526
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:30,160
Speaker 1: business touching the ball, and like no one could do

527
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:32,360
Speaker 1: anything about it, and he was just he was tossing

528
00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:36,240
Speaker 1: things up without looking like he was legit taking bad

529
00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:40,640
Speaker 1: shots and everything just went in. Yeah, he could not stop.

530
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 1: He couldn't. He couldn't have missed if he was trying

531
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 1: to miss. I feel like at one point he might

532
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:46,920
Speaker 1: have been like, all right, I'm gonna actually try and

533
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:50,320
Speaker 1: shoot this off out of out of bounds, like missed

534
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:54,040
Speaker 1: the backboard and it and it went in. There's a

535
00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:56,840
Speaker 1: great clip that Jabari put on the docket. It was

536
00:30:56,920 --> 00:31:00,160
Speaker 1: not in the finals, but it has to do with play.

537
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:05,520
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's Andre a Goodala calling travel on

538
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:11,240
Speaker 1: Clay during the season. Have you seen this clip? That's great? Yeah, Um,

539
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:18,520
Speaker 1: Clay's get Clay's getting his feet set and um it's

540
00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 1: just a good like teammate moment. Because he does travel.

541
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:23,600
Speaker 1: He shovels his feet. He kind of does like that

542
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:29,000
Speaker 1: hardened step back where it's like, yeah, what are my

543
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:32,920
Speaker 1: eyes just see? That's that's not legal. Um. But usually

544
00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:36,840
Speaker 1: the decorum. Speaking of decorum, the decorum for NBA teams

545
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:41,920
Speaker 1: is not to call travel on your own team. Um

546
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 1: uh here, let's let's hit play. Like as the shot

547
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:57,600
Speaker 1: is going up on the baseline doing the travel, you know,

548
00:31:57,680 --> 00:32:02,160
Speaker 1: the gesture, doing the trapling arm ref gesture while imitating

549
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:05,160
Speaker 1: the foot shuffling with his own feet stood up to

550
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:07,600
Speaker 1: make fun of him, and the ref didn't call it,

551
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 1: which was But I do I love the Warriors after

552
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:17,840
Speaker 1: you know, these finals, and I am starting to really

553
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:21,280
Speaker 1: like the Celtics that everything you you read about uh

554
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:27,240
Speaker 1: Udoka is like so cool. Um really really like him.

555
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:30,880
Speaker 1: So I'm not I'm not where I was before Celtics

556
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:35,600
Speaker 1: fans okay, um. Yeah, I've got nothing on the line

557
00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:40,959
Speaker 1: as opposed to you know, Lakers fans who might have something.

558
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:46,760
Speaker 1: I don't know any Lakers, nah nah, none, None that

559
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:49,800
Speaker 1: aren't tortured to be unbelief. I do have a question, though, Sarah.

560
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:52,800
Speaker 1: You know, as a fan of the game and someone

561
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:56,080
Speaker 1: who's witnessed some fantastic moments. Do you have a favorite

562
00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:59,360
Speaker 1: Finals moments since we're in the finals, something that just

563
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:01,720
Speaker 1: warm is your heart when you think about it. Yeah,

564
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:04,640
Speaker 1: I like, I do like emotional moments, and so when

565
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:07,479
Speaker 1: I think of favorite Finals moments, I think of often

566
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:11,640
Speaker 1: think about when Dirk when the when the MAVs won

567
00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 1: and Dirk had to leave the court so that he

568
00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:19,920
Speaker 1: could like stop himself from crying, and like when it

569
00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 1: just when it means that much to someone, it makes

570
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:25,800
Speaker 1: me feel like good, I'm glad they want like they

571
00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:29,720
Speaker 1: deserve it because if a guy, like when guys don't

572
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:32,280
Speaker 1: feel emotionally invested, I'm like, we'll give it to the

573
00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:35,840
Speaker 1: guy that's crying. Then I want them to I wanted

574
00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:40,160
Speaker 1: to tear them up. I wanted to matter, Like if

575
00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:43,480
Speaker 1: if a team loses in the finals, I wanted to

576
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:45,640
Speaker 1: eat at them, and I want it to really matter

577
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:48,080
Speaker 1: and our team wins the finals. I wanted to be like,

578
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:50,800
Speaker 1: I want to see that it's the greatest glory in

579
00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:52,320
Speaker 1: the world for them. I want to be able to

580
00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:57,080
Speaker 1: see it. And what better what better indicator than this

581
00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:03,960
Speaker 1: of times running out on the heats and he immediately

582
00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:08,360
Speaker 1: runs to the tunnel and leaves the court. Yeah, to

583
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:10,279
Speaker 1: the point where like you can't believe he won, if

584
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:15,080
Speaker 1: he just won the finals, He's crying into his jersey,

585
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:20,600
Speaker 1: the emotions of what he's always dreamed of, hoping to

586
00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:24,040
Speaker 1: have another chance after the bitter loss in two thousand

587
00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:28,320
Speaker 1: and six and unlikely playoff run capped off by Dallas

588
00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:32,359
Speaker 1: upsetting Lebron James Dwyane Wade of a favorite Miami Heat.

589
00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:35,160
Speaker 1: It's one of those things where you can just tell

590
00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:40,680
Speaker 1: right how important every every single action they've done in

591
00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:45,040
Speaker 1: their life is to build towards that moment. And when

592
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:48,560
Speaker 1: you get there, some people can you see people all

593
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:50,520
Speaker 1: the time, like in the olymp people some people collapse

594
00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:54,400
Speaker 1: because they can't believe it. Some people are just overjoyed.

595
00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:56,680
Speaker 1: But that's like kind of I think that's the thing

596
00:34:56,760 --> 00:35:00,120
Speaker 1: we all love about sport is because when you're watching it,

597
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:02,759
Speaker 1: you can tell these people are so dedicated to a

598
00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:06,400
Speaker 1: singular purpose and when they get there, there's nothing sweeter

599
00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:10,440
Speaker 1: than that, And you're like, oh, I where's the finals

600
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:14,720
Speaker 1: for podcasting? See, I find it helpful to collapse before,

601
00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:18,440
Speaker 1: like during the competition, because then I never win it

602
00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:21,960
Speaker 1: and there's no emotions at stake. So just physically collapse,

603
00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:26,560
Speaker 1: emotionally collapse, like the second anything's on the line at all,

604
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:31,799
Speaker 1: wait for steaks. Truly, truly, in my personal life, I

605
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:38,960
Speaker 1: really understand an emotional collapse to ourselves. I cried because

606
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:42,920
Speaker 1: someone else scored thirty seven points. So I can't imagine

607
00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:45,520
Speaker 1: what I wouldn't be able to physically handle it, if

608
00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:49,319
Speaker 1: any if the stakes were high for me. All right,

609
00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:50,960
Speaker 1: should we take a quick break and then we'll come

610
00:35:51,000 --> 00:36:02,360
Speaker 1: back and hit you with some lightning ryan questions. And

611
00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:06,120
Speaker 1: we're back, and I think this is our new tradition

612
00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:08,279
Speaker 1: is we'd like to close out the show with some

613
00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:13,000
Speaker 1: rapid fire questions with our guests. So Sarah, when we

614
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:17,200
Speaker 1: ask these questions, just don't even think, just react. Give

615
00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:20,520
Speaker 1: us your answer perfect, and because we just want to

616
00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:24,040
Speaker 1: pick your brain. Uh, and let's start the clock now, Jack,

617
00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:25,799
Speaker 1: you may be getting the question. We call it a

618
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:29,239
Speaker 1: lightning round because lightning is fast, and so the the

619
00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:32,120
Speaker 1: idea is that these are like questions we're gonna ask fast.

620
00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:37,680
Speaker 1: It's it's really good when you have to explain it. Yeah. So, um,

621
00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:42,359
Speaker 1: just like full background. Uh just wanted to make sure

622
00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:44,880
Speaker 1: you weren't caught unaware. Real quick, and so now I'm

623
00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:47,799
Speaker 1: going to ask the question as Miles mentioned thirty seconds ago,

624
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:50,320
Speaker 1: I'm going for that. Before that, we'd like to mention

625
00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:52,480
Speaker 1: we like this segment to be so quick. You know,

626
00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:56,239
Speaker 1: there's no reason to draw this out. We want this

627
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:58,640
Speaker 1: to be super quick so people get a lot of information.

628
00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:02,359
Speaker 1: Really the segment like Jordan Pool shot it started than

629
00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:07,080
Speaker 1: Jordan shot so far right far, So we're thinking quick.

630
00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:12,000
Speaker 1: So take take the far place with quick and we

631
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:15,480
Speaker 1: we go go which is a line from The Dark

632
00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:19,440
Speaker 1: Knight Dark, which is the joker, says it um and

633
00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:25,680
Speaker 1: who played him? Again? Ye, that's right. And what we're

634
00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:30,080
Speaker 1: doing is balancing the ledger with some questions. Uh. Number

635
00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:34,520
Speaker 1: one best NBA arena not named Vivian. I love Little

636
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:38,960
Speaker 1: Caesar's Arena, the New Detroit Arena, that's a very good one. Tie.

637
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:43,800
Speaker 1: I love the Hornets Arena, Madison Square Garden is uh

638
00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:48,799
Speaker 1: is obviously the legendary, but um also Little Season those

639
00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:51,279
Speaker 1: are just the really good arena's, great places to watch

640
00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:54,200
Speaker 1: a basketball game. Also the Sun's Arena. It's a footprint

641
00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:56,120
Speaker 1: center I think is now the name of it, But

642
00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:59,400
Speaker 1: I feel like those are those are very good arenas.

643
00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:02,200
Speaker 1: Nice Wow, I had not I had not heard the

644
00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:07,560
Speaker 1: thing about the pistons or the someone who loves crazy bread,

645
00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:11,759
Speaker 1: I mean say less the thing is also the I

646
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:15,640
Speaker 1: don't know how or why, but the the Little Caesar's

647
00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:18,319
Speaker 1: food at Little Caesars Arena is better than you'll get

648
00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:22,400
Speaker 1: it anywhere else. They're saving their fast ball up. Speaking

649
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:24,920
Speaker 1: of food, which arena has the most underrated food? And

650
00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:27,120
Speaker 1: I know you said Little Caesars, so that gets in there,

651
00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:29,279
Speaker 1: but expand on that, please? Are there any other place? So?

652
00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:32,920
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm I'm speaking to like the media dining,

653
00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:35,839
Speaker 1: which is not going to be the plan experience like

654
00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:40,200
Speaker 1: eating out on the concourse. And so the Houston Rockets

655
00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:43,160
Speaker 1: they've always got like a beautiful charcuterie board in the

656
00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:46,080
Speaker 1: media room and I'm like, oh yes, I would love

657
00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:49,120
Speaker 1: some brie and some like fresh colamado olives. Thank you?

658
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:54,560
Speaker 1: WHOA in comparison, right, if Houston's coming with the charcuterie,

659
00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:56,919
Speaker 1: what are you used to usually for your your media meal?

660
00:38:56,960 --> 00:38:59,880
Speaker 1: I don't know, like a really dry buffet chicken breast

661
00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:03,359
Speaker 1: that's just been really overcooked, and then like a hot

662
00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:07,680
Speaker 1: dog that's on a stale bun. Okay, fantastic, like I'll

663
00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:12,720
Speaker 1: eat I'll do it all right, young player you expect

664
00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:15,880
Speaker 1: to take the leap next season? So job would be

665
00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:18,560
Speaker 1: our example for this season? Is there a young player

666
00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:22,000
Speaker 1: who you think next year we're gonna all be talking

667
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:25,879
Speaker 1: about them on shows like Mad Boosties, which is most

668
00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:28,960
Speaker 1: people's touchstone for last you know, NBA content feels like

669
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:32,719
Speaker 1: a cop out to say, like Evan Mobley, but he's

670
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:36,360
Speaker 1: so good, He's so good. I love Evan Mowbley and

671
00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:39,040
Speaker 1: Scotty Barnes, Like those are guys that I am absolutely

672
00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:42,040
Speaker 1: certain are going to be great, So I'm watching them, Okay.

673
00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:46,080
Speaker 1: Next question, ninety six Bulls or the sixteen Warriors in

674
00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:52,239
Speaker 1: a series Bulls? Okay, two players from the nineties you'd

675
00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:56,560
Speaker 1: love to see in today's game Dennis Rodman, Larry Bird.

676
00:39:57,719 --> 00:40:02,160
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I like. I love that answer. I love

677
00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:06,680
Speaker 1: I want a guy who doesn't need to be provoked

678
00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:11,959
Speaker 1: to punch someone, like he's he comes into the game

679
00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:14,439
Speaker 1: in a good mood and thinks I might punch someone

680
00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:17,839
Speaker 1: tonight turn this up. Yeah, And and also like I

681
00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:21,320
Speaker 1: just think those guys could play in any Arab basketball. Yeah.

682
00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:25,239
Speaker 1: Robin is such a good example of like the kind

683
00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:28,719
Speaker 1: of Draymond thing and like you know people underrated thing

684
00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:31,240
Speaker 1: that I think we saw a little bit in the

685
00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:34,319
Speaker 1: like last Dance, but like how much studying he does

686
00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:38,960
Speaker 1: on like energy merchant, Yeah, watching the room those ing

687
00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:45,839
Speaker 1: ing ing ing ing ing uh. And finally, you can

688
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:48,879
Speaker 1: fill Utah's coaching void bit of a thought experiment with

689
00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:52,080
Speaker 1: any available candidate. What direction you're going in? You like

690
00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:55,200
Speaker 1: in a D'Antoni of vocal stocks and assistant, what do

691
00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:57,440
Speaker 1: you do? There's two different ways to answer this question, right,

692
00:40:57,440 --> 00:41:00,720
Speaker 1: It's like if I am GM and I'm running the ship,

693
00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:03,520
Speaker 1: what am I doing or what do I think is

694
00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:05,799
Speaker 1: best for the people that are already in those positions.

695
00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:08,680
Speaker 1: If I'm running, you can't say Miles or me. You

696
00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:13,000
Speaker 1: can't says If I'm running everything, the first thing I'm

697
00:41:13,239 --> 00:41:16,560
Speaker 1: doing is just blowing it up, like I I'm I'm

698
00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:20,640
Speaker 1: trading everyone I'm bringing on like expiring contracts and just

699
00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:23,719
Speaker 1: like trying to stockpile assets because I don't think that

700
00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:28,120
Speaker 1: they can get better through trading right now. And um,

701
00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:30,160
Speaker 1: in that case, then I want someone that's going to

702
00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:33,280
Speaker 1: do really well for young players, and so I wouldn't

703
00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:35,640
Speaker 1: have waited so long and I would have got Kenny Atkinson.

704
00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:39,520
Speaker 1: And but now that doesn't seem like it's a choice,

705
00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:44,200
Speaker 1: I kind of think that Bisdale would be really good. Okay, yeah,

706
00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:46,799
Speaker 1: that's good. I thought you were going to say you'd

707
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:49,000
Speaker 1: blow it up so that you could move them to

708
00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:54,120
Speaker 1: a different market like the owner from the movie Major League.

709
00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:57,359
Speaker 1: But that's also a good strategy. I like that. All right,

710
00:41:57,600 --> 00:42:00,200
Speaker 1: well you have you have passed our lightning round. I

711
00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:02,640
Speaker 1: know you probably like didn't even realize that it started

712
00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:08,840
Speaker 1: so quick. I didn't, um, told you real quick, Sarah

713
00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:11,520
Speaker 1: to it's such a pleasure having you on. Miles and

714
00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:13,719
Speaker 1: Jack got Matt boost ease, and now of course you

715
00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:18,800
Speaker 1: have officially by appearing on the show, co endorsed the

716
00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:21,960
Speaker 1: idea that Miles and I both have Matt boost ease. Um,

717
00:42:22,080 --> 00:42:25,360
Speaker 1: and we can use you as a reference for that fact.

718
00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:29,319
Speaker 1: I used to be able to touch net, Miles, I

719
00:42:29,360 --> 00:42:33,359
Speaker 1: think still can touch rim. So um, no big deal,

720
00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:36,080
Speaker 1: no big deal. Can't can't get the ball through there though,

721
00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:39,520
Speaker 1: just me with the with my hand grabbing the rim.

722
00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:42,879
Speaker 1: But Sarah, where can people find you and listen to

723
00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:45,759
Speaker 1: you your podcast or your work? How where do they?

724
00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:47,960
Speaker 1: Where do they catch. You can find me nowhere near

725
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:53,160
Speaker 1: the rim um. I won't I cannot touch him. You

726
00:42:53,200 --> 00:42:55,480
Speaker 1: can find me on the defensive end or on all

727

Speaker 1: guests come on and not one of them have said that.

736
00:43:30,239 --> 00:43:32,720
Speaker 1: At the end, I feel like I'm the old man

737
00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:36,839
Speaker 1: in Indiana Jones in the Last Crusade, the Old Night,

738
00:43:37,040 --> 00:43:41,240
Speaker 1: and just had suitor after suitor come and just wither away.

739
00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:46,160
Speaker 1: And finally we have somebody who has chosen wisely and

740
00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:49,759
Speaker 1: complimented our boost ease. I thought it would be good

741
00:43:49,800 --> 00:43:52,279
Speaker 1: to take a long walk on a movie reference with

742
00:43:52,280 --> 00:43:54,319

743
00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:56,400
Speaker 1: of movies and don't get movies. I'm not a monster.

745
00:43:59,800 --> 00:44:01,839
