Speaker 1: hot boy Trick Kirby Heo hey yo. And last but

13
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 1: not least, over Yonder making the magic happen. Super producer JD. Hello,

14
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 1: there he is, and here we are. We're gonna touch

15
00:00:56,440 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 1: on all eight Playoffs series today. We've decided to break

16
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 1: them up by conferences, so stick around if you want

17
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:07,040
Speaker 1: to hear us talk about Jalen Brunson's masterpiece there in Philly.

18
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:10,039
Speaker 1: But let's start with the West. Let's go West, young men,

19
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 1: and we will begin with a series that was expected

20
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 1: to be one of the more competitive series in the

21
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:20,120
Speaker 1: first round, but the Wolves became the first team to

22
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 1: punch their ticket to the conference semifinals by completing a

23
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 1: sweep of the Suns on Sunday night. Booker Durant doing

24
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 1: a whole lot of scoring.

25
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 3: Yeah that was good.

26
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 1: But in the end, Karl Anthony Towns doing his part

27
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 1: for the Wolves, and then Ant takeover with a forty

28
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 1: point game from this guy a superstar already, it feels like,

29
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:44,680
Speaker 1: and they get it done sweeping the Suns, and Vogel

30
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 1: is he gone, what do they do with that roster?

31
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 1: You know, we can get into that, but let's talk

32
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 1: about the game and give some love here to Ant

33
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 1: and Kat and the Wolves.

34
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is strange that we saw the best performance

35
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 3: from the Phoenix Suns right before they got swept, right

36
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 3: at the end. This was the best fourth quarter game.

37
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 3: Finally we saw a close one that went down to

38
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 3: the wire, because that didn't happen the first three games.

39
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 3: And then the Timberwolves just sealed it because it looked

40
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,080
Speaker 3: like the Suns had a chance going into the fourth quarter,

41
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 3: but then the Timberwolves got hot first almost five minutes,

42
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,919
Speaker 3: they didn't miss a basket and Anthony Edwards obviously showing

43
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,080
Speaker 3: up waking up beautiful block against Devin Booker there, and

44
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:23,359
Speaker 3: then the way the Suns went out it was almost

45
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 3: like a little microcosm of their season really, because you

46
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:29,080
Speaker 3: had the big two that you mentioned, Booker and Durant,

47
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 3: awesome performances. Booker shutting everybody up who says he can't

48
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:34,959
Speaker 3: play in a game where he's about to get eliminated

49
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 3: the first time he had he had a monster forty

50
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:39,919
Speaker 3: nine point game and Durant thirty three. But the other guy,

51
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:43,640
Speaker 3: Bill was nowhere close to that and with two thirty left,

52
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 3: this is a two point game. The Sons did a

53
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 3: good thing moving the ball around. Looked like the Suns

54
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 3: that everyone he talked about is potentially a good team,

55
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 3: looking like, yeah, we just got it to share the

56
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 3: ball a little bit. He went baseline with Karl Anthony

57
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 3: Towns underneath the hoop there and he had the opportunity

58
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,920
Speaker 3: for a reverse layup Towns five fouls. He doesn't want

59
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 3: to fill out. He just did that a few minutes prior,

60
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 3: and he passed out and turned it over. It was

61
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 3: a little Ben Simmons like he should have shot that

62
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,839
Speaker 3: ball at the other end Anthony Edwards without boom Don.

63
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 3: We'll get to in a second and then Beal turned

64
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:21,399
Speaker 3: it over again and then the next possession, so basically

65
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 3: three possessions in a row. He felled out. So that's it, done, said,

66
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:29,239
Speaker 3: and that's it for the entire season for the Phoenix Suns.

67
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 3: That it's pretty incredible that that is a bit of

68
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 3: a micro rosam. Their big three shrank a lot in

69
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 3: this series and they needed them to be huge. They

70
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 3: did not. And Edwards was monstrous. How good he was,

71
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,119
Speaker 3: how efficient he was in that second half, scoring those

72
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 3: thirty one points of his forty. He was awesome because

73
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 3: he did what he needed to do in the first half,

74
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 3: passing everybody six assists in this game, but then being

75
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 3: the best player on the floor.

76
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, forty points for at nine boards, six assists, thirteen

77
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 1: to twenty three from the field, seven to thirteen from deep,

78
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 1: making shots all over the court. He had those blocks,

79
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 1: I like the one at the very end of the game,

80
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 1: even on Booker, he wasn't done block of Devin Booker.

81
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 1: And then yeah, the huge dunk which was a big

82
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 1: two points there, I mean put him up four. It

83
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 1: was still a game. It was like two fourteen when

84
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 1: he threw that down, blowing by Bill dunking you know,

85
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:22,480
Speaker 1: sort of near on ish his idol in Kevin Duranton

86
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 1: just what a game, then continues in the postgame press conference.

87
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 1: You know, I don't know what's better his game or

88
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:29,839
Speaker 1: his postgame press conferences. I'm not sure what this guy

89
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 1: he's He can do it all. But would you think TK,

90
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:32,719
Speaker 1: this guy is the man?

91
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 3: He really is absolute man.

92
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 2: He is so much fun to watch. Obviously, the Timberwolves

93
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,039
Speaker 2: have a ton of belief in him. He sprained his

94
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:44,159
Speaker 2: ankle twice in this game, wearing the low AE ones,

95
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 2: switches to the mid AE ones and completely took over

96
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 2: in the second half. Curious decision from Frank Bogel, I

97
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:51,359
Speaker 2: think to go one on one in the second half

98
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 2: against Anthony Edwards because he saw that in his eyes

99
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 2: lit up, just completely torched. Bradley Beal. That dunk for

100
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 2: me was a show your kid tell him about the

101
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 2: dinner table. This one looks like a Michael Jordan dunk.

102
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 2: Come and have a look at it. Six for seven

103
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 2: in the fourth quarter for Anthony Edwards reminded me of

104
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 2: Lebron taking over against the Pistons a million years ago

105
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:12,799
Speaker 2: when he scored twenty five of their last twenty seven

106
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 2: I think the only miss he had in the fourth

107
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 2: quarter was a dunk. He went for a two handed

108
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 2: dunk and just dunk, jumped too high and missed it.

109
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 3: That was awesome.

110
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 2: And then like you're saying in the postgame press conferences,

111
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 2: he's talking trash. And also he's completely big enough. Karl

112
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 2: Anthony Towns. He has said the entire season, Cat's our

113
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 2: best player. Getting him back this is the best thing

114
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 2: that can happen to us. We don't win the game

115
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:34,480
Speaker 2: yesterday without Kat. That's true twenty eight and ten. And

116
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 2: for Carl Anthony Towns, he had an awesome series in

117
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 2: this one. Anytime he had to be the only big

118
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 2: man out there alongside nas Reed, didn't matter. He was

119
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 2: good enough defensively, still had dumb files because the Town's mode,

120
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:49,719
Speaker 2: but overcame it played a great, great series. This was

121
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,160
Speaker 2: a fun game to watch, and it felt like a

122
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:55,359
Speaker 2: torch had been passed from the old guys born in

123
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 2: the nineteen eighties until all these nineties and two thousands

124
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 2: guys on the timber Wolves because the look bigger and faster.

125
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 2: That's hard to do, have a bigger team.

126
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:03,840
Speaker 3: Yeah.

127
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,599
Speaker 1: The first series win for the Timberwolves since two thousand

128
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:10,160
Speaker 1: and four. It's been a very long time, twenty years

129
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 1: since they won a playoff series, and they do it,

130
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 1: you know with the sweep here on a on a

131
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:16,279
Speaker 1: good team. Have a lot of flaws on that Phoenix

132
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:19,040
Speaker 1: Suns team and it fell apart obviously, but this was

133
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 1: a team that still won a lot of games. And

134
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,239
Speaker 1: the Wolves, yeah, they really punked him this entire series.

135
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 1: That was a part like this was a close game.

136
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:28,840
Speaker 1: The only other ones weren't. Yeah, pretty comfortable. And in

137
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 1: game four, in Game four, Rudy got into foul trouble

138
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 1: and that did allow the Suns to sort of lean

139
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 1: into a little bit more going small and Vogel was

140
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:39,600
Speaker 1: trying things. But the problem was Kat then took advantage.

141
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:41,359
Speaker 1: I mean he's a big dude still too, and he

142
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:43,840
Speaker 1: had that great game, like you said, felt like when

143
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:45,720
Speaker 1: the Wolves needed a bucket there at times he would

144
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 1: always go to Cat and he came through. I can't

145
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 1: think of a guy that's happier though, too. You want

146
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:52,600
Speaker 1: to talk about passing the torch to being like the

147
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 1: number one guy in a team that Kat was there

148
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 1: for years in Minnesota to just hand it over to

149
00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:01,039
Speaker 1: it and be completely fine with it and as he should.

150
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:04,559
Speaker 1: He's better in this role and as like your main guy,

151
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 1: your dog. Uh and this maybe works. They flourish with

152
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 1: this one two sort of system here. But what a game,

153
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 1: what a series from Minnesota made me look silly obviously

154
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 1: taking Phoenix. A lot of people took Phoenix. We thought

155
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 1: it'd be a close series, like I said, and in

156
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 1: the end they took care of business.

157
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 3: Yeah. An awesome first playoff series win here for Anthony

158
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 3: Edwards because he's playing against the guy that he idolizes.

159
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 3: Get he's played against Kevin Durray. He's talking trash to

160
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 3: him multiple times. And then that dunk at the end

161
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 3: of this game was Kevin duran Yeah he got out

162
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 3: of the way, but the poster still has Kevin Durant

163
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 3: in it, and so how cool was that to finish

164
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 3: it off like that? And then ye going into the postgame,

165
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 3: puts on his Brave's hat because he's from Georgia, looking

166
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 3: like Trey Kirby out there with his braves head. The

167
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 3: fitted Yes, definitely the fitted cap. That's who he's id idolizing.

168
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 3: When I say idolizing, I mean tray curvy. But yeah,

169
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 3: he's wearing the a obviously extremely extremely comfortable playing with

170
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 3: all these guys. The difference is the Phoenix Suns have

171
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 3: guys who are willing to scrap. I'm sorry, I'm sorry,

172
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 3: I'm sorry. The Wolves he guys who are willing to

173
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 3: scrap and fight. Besides Anthony Edwards and Karl Anthony Towns

174
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 3: and the Phoenix Suns obviously don't end. They're calling each

175
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 3: other out a little bit. You know in the series

176
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 3: Eric Gordon, even Eric Gordon guy coming off the bench

177
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 3: basically saying like, we don't have we don't have the guys,

178
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 3: We don't have the guys that we need to have

179
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 3: to win, and they also don't have the effort. And

180
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 3: I was just shocked to hear I did any I

181
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 3: didn't want to mention this Bradley Beal line that he

182
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 3: said after going down three to zero, but you have

183
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 3: to when he says, I've never been swept in my life,

184
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 3: I'll be damned if that happens to go out like

185
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 3: that where he was literally just turning the ball over

186
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,079
Speaker 3: then fouled out and just ran to the bench. It

187
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,560
Speaker 3: doesn't get worse than that. I mean, we can well

188
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 3: that he what do you think of him?

189
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 1: Brushing away Frank Vogel's hand. Yeah, he wanted nothing to

190
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:51,080
Speaker 1: do with that either. They're getting a little passive aggressive

191
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 1: there at the end.

192
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 3: That's who they're gonna blame. But yeah, they are, come on, Vogel, Yeah,

193
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:58,719
Speaker 3: there's nobody else to blame with the way with the

194
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 3: way they're constructed. Well, yeah, it's just it's very, very

195
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:06,440
Speaker 3: difficult to do it to anybody. Who they gonna blame, Durrant, Beale, Booker.

196
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 3: I mean, it's very difficult.

197
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 1: The Suns will enter the offseason with two hundred and

198
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 1: six million in salary, the biggest payroll of any team,

199
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 1: and over the next two seasons three hundred and twelve

200
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:21,080
Speaker 1: million alone committed to Booker, Durant, and Beale. If that's

201
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:22,560
Speaker 1: going to be the case, you're gonna hope you would

202
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 1: at least a playoff game, let alone a series or two. Yeah,

203
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:29,319
Speaker 1: Zilla was writing about it. Coaches get paid in this league,

204
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 1: unfortunately to take the fall, So it will likely be Vogel.

205
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:35,080
Speaker 1: We'll see here. I mean he was sort of saying, nah,

206
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 1: I got the support of Matt Isshbia. You know, you

207
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:38,439
Speaker 1: hear that all the time though, And then of course

208
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 1: your acts two days later. But yeah, you're not trading

209
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 1: Bill unlikely at least he's got a no trade clause

210
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 1: and who wants them? You're right, you're likely. You're likely

211
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 1: not trading Kevin Durant, Devin Booker unless they want to

212
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 1: be traded. From this situation, no one else on the

213
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,680
Speaker 1: roster is gonna, you know, warrant anything. There's no demand

214
00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:58,679
Speaker 1: for any of these other guys, be it NRK or

215
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 1: O'Neill or or whatever.

216
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:01,960
Speaker 3: So they got to sign on Neil too.

217
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, right, uh, sign to a huge deal. And they

218
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 1: have zero draft picks. There is your right test they

219
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 1: have what can they do?

220
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:11,320
Speaker 3: Don't they have the number twenty two pick this season?

221
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, sure that'll be a game change, that is.

222
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 2: Yeah.

223
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 3: No, they don't have much to trade.

224
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 1: They have that, they have that, and and then what

225
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 1: maybe they can trade something in two thousand and thirty one,

226
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 1: which sounds like a.

227
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 3: Fake year, we won't be here.

228
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, so they they're really obviously they committed when they

229
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 1: did the Beal move. Look, the Durant thing, I think

230
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 1: a lot of teams do it. It should be a

231
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:33,040
Speaker 1: new owner comes in, what we can get Kevin Durant.

232
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:35,080
Speaker 1: Hell yeah, let's do it trade the farm or trade

233
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 1: ninety percent of the farm and then the Beaal situation. Yeah,

234
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 1: we can get Bradley Beal. Oh my god, we'll be unstoppable.

235
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 1: And again we thought they would be offensively at least.

236
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 1: Vogel had them like what an average defensive team in

237
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 1: the regular season in the middle. But you kept bringing

238
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:49,200
Speaker 1: up time and time again through the regular season trade

239
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 1: they never played together ever. It almost never happened. Someone

240
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 1: was always banged up. And that's not an excuse. I'm

241
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 1: not saying they would have beat the Minnesota Timberleves if

242
00:10:58,280 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 1: they had well played together. But maybe they have a

243
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 1: better record, maybe they're not even matched up against them.

244
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:05,079
Speaker 1: It was just bad ale season, and Vogel will if

245
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 1: there's a fall guy, it'll be him. It has to be, yeah,

246
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 1: a fall guy.

247
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:10,560
Speaker 3: But he made a lot of money even if he

248
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 3: does get fired. Unfortunately, five years for thirty one million

249
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:14,959
Speaker 3: dollars is what he signed for last year. Thirty one

250
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 3: guaranteed boom. That's pretty good. But if there is somebody,

251
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,439
Speaker 3: it's probably going to be him because they're just so

252
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:23,680
Speaker 3: limited by what they can do with their salary cap

253
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 3: because they are in the second apron zone. They can't

254
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:29,319
Speaker 3: even oh yeah, they can't even aggregate guys to trade.

255
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:31,560
Speaker 3: They have to trade guys one by one by one.

256
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 3: So that's problem. They don't have the opportunity to sign

257
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 3: anybody to a mid level exception. They just can't because

258
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 3: they are in that second apron So they just gotta

259
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 3: signed minimum guys. And who are they going to trade?

260
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 3: This is for the next two seasons too, the beal

261
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 3: thing if you're going to trade anybody, Because we did

262
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 3: talk about Phoenix Suns and who the heck they are,

263
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 3: they're Big three had to be bigger, they had to

264
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 3: be they had to be really good because of who

265
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 3: they are four through twelve. They are not okay, see

266
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:03,320
Speaker 3: they are not Minnesota obviously that has Conley Ang Gobert

267
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 3: and Jada McDaniels and Nikil Alexander Walker. They just ain't

268
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 3: that good and they overpaid for everybody. And do you

269
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 3: want to explode, just implode, I should say that big

270
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 3: three and try and trade bal who has a no

271
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:18,679
Speaker 3: trade exception and a fifteen percent trade kicker. That's a

272
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 3: lot of dough. I know, Mattispie's got a lot of

273
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 3: dough making those mortgages happen throughout the United States of America.

274
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 3: But what's the other option. I mean, it might be

275
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:30,440
Speaker 3: it might be trying to get somebody to take bial.

276
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 3: But then we watched them and I picked them in

277
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:35,439
Speaker 3: a seventh game seven game series, and you see those

278
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 3: big three perform, and they do perform pretty well most

279
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 3: of the season until things got real tough, and this

280
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 3: team just took it to them in the first couple

281
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:46,199
Speaker 3: of games. So I don't know, it's probably gonna be

282
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 3: the same team. But with a new coach, I guess yeah.

283
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:51,960
Speaker 1: I mean I think, yeah, like, okay, good luck trading

284
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 1: Bradley Beal. I I mean again, especially with the no

285
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 1: trade class. But it's either yes, just bringing a new

286
00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 1: coach and a new idea, new vibes, whatever. I mean,

287
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 1: maybe that changes it, maybe it doesn't, or it feels

288
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 1: like you try and trade either one of your big stars.

289
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 1: You're Kevin Durant or you're Devin Booker. I think I

290
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:14,440
Speaker 1: would lean towards the Durant over Booker. You're looking at

291
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 1: age and all that and that, but that's a huge,

292
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 1: obviously decision, but you're gonna at least get maybe some

293
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 1: draft capitol back and maybe some players that fit more

294
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:23,199
Speaker 1: with those other guys. Feel like those are the only

295
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 1: two things. But we can talk about this later in

296
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 1: the week as the series start to dry up. But brutal,

297
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:30,679
Speaker 1: brutal way to go out. The only thing that was

298
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 1: good was like Devin Booker had a good game instead

299
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 1: of like having a stinker in an elimination game.

300
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 2: Again nine, I know, thanks for showing up finally.

301
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, but you did say it tasks for them

302
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:42,959
Speaker 1: in order to be competitive in the series, to even

303
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 1: win the series. Yeah, okay, forty nine was awesome in

304
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:47,320
Speaker 1: game four a little too late, right. A lot of

305
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:50,839
Speaker 1: the series, Booker didn't look like a top ten guy.

306
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 1: Durant didn't look like a top five guy in the league.

307
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 1: It was Ant looking like that a lot of the series.

308
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I know, Ann had one bad game, but

309
00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 1: the other three were lights out and take over mode

310
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:02,199
Speaker 1: half the time. You know, the stars let them down. Obviously,

311
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 1: the role players didn't do a lot and that's why

312
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 1: you got swept in the end.

313
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, speaking of blame Beale, But at the same time,

314
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 3: Booker wasn't himself the entire series until now, So.

315
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:17,200
Speaker 1: Let's talk about the other coach in this game that

316
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 1: was weird. Chris Finch had to leave in the fourth

317
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 1: quarter after after an inadvertent collision with his own guard,

318
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 1: Mike Conley, sort of crashing into the side there, and

319
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 1: the team said he has a ruptured pateller tendon in

320
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 1: his right knee. So this is Chris Finch, the Wolf's coach.

321
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 1: They just swept. But we'll see. Will he beyond the side,

322
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:38,600
Speaker 1: I mean a severe injury obviously, could be on the

323
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 1: sidelines sitting. I guess. I don't know what they'll do here.

324
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 3: He was able, okay, so I imagine he'll.

325
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 1: You think he'll be there, Yes, I'm with you, but still, yeah,

326
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 1: that sucks.

327
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 3: I play hard for that dude, Holy crap.

328
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 1: A little too hard, I guess.

329
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, lasted away.

330
00:14:58,240 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 1: It's like, oh man, that hurts.

331
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 3: But it was Booker's Hipjack that colleag Yeah, yeah, exactly. Yeah.

332
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:07,480
Speaker 2: I guess he'll probably be on a chair, right, so

333
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 2: I'll give him a cool rolling chair or something. I

334
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 2: feel like, uh, that Hunter guy in the NCAA turnament

335
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 2: after he hurt his achilles orherever he was coaching from

336
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 2: a chair. I imagine that Minnesota is probably big LA

337
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 2: Laker fans right now, give their coach a little bit

338
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 2: more time to rest. Yeah, because the Nuggets ended tonight,

339
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 2: like the series will start pretty quickly.

340
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 1: To that point. Yeah, I don't know how fast they

341
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:28,680
Speaker 1: bump it up, but that's a great point.

342
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 2: You definitely don't factor in a coach returning from injury

343
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 2: prognosticating the second round.

344
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 3: Of the playoffs. And he can have that ankle aid.

345
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 3: You roll around like you put your knee on to

346
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 3: have like an ankle if you have an ankle problem,

347
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 3: you know that aid. Because his knee is hurt.

348
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, that little rollie trolley thing, I don't know what

349
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 2: to call it.

350
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 3: When somebody hurts their ankle, they just roll around on

351
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 3: that right thing. But there's some way he could be in.

352
00:15:55,280 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 1: He couldn't be in a wheelchair on the sidelines like

353
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 1: a coach moves back and forth.

354
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 2: There's no way they didn't allow that. I met more

355
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 2: like a like a rollie chair like we have.

356
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 1: I see, it makes more sense.

357
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 2: I don't know if that even that either. Yeah, it

358
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 2: seems a little bit dangerous. That's what I'm having. Mike

359
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 2: and Norri push him back and forth, moved me.

360
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 3: Down, me down.

361
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll see here. So obviously set best wishes to

362
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 1: Uh to Finchy, their bloody good coach, but unfortunate injury.

363
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 1: There any other thoughts on on the Wolves series here

364
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:30,240
Speaker 1: and the Sons flaming out here and four.

365
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 3: I've definitely talked way too much about the Phoenix Suns,

366
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 3: mainly because I did pick them in seven. I thought

367
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 3: there was a freaking chance. I guess we just didn't.

368
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 3: We did talk enough about the tim Minnesota Timberwolves, but

369
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 3: there's anything left to say. It's these guys are obviously

370
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 3: all fighting for each other, and that's the best part.

371
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 1: They had some incredible defensive possessions where the Sons were

372
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 1: moving the ball and that thing was fizzing around to

373
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:58,800
Speaker 1: you lee'st term, but they were just scrambling everywhere and

374
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:00,680
Speaker 1: like cutting off everything. There was a couple and there's

375
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 1: clips going around on Twitter. I'm sure everybody has seen.

376
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 1: It's just like, Wow, they were fighting their ass off

377
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:08,720
Speaker 1: and locked in defensively every guy. It's McDaniel's, Nikaile, Alexander Walker.

378
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:11,280
Speaker 1: Obviously their stars are bought in as well, even Cony

379
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 1: getting up there in age. The fights hard on the

380
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 1: defensive end. Yeah, great, great effort. And I love that

381
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:20,240
Speaker 1: they saw like let's just end this now, like let's

382
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:22,639
Speaker 1: like not mess around with our food. Let's just we

383
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 1: have them down. We got our you know, our foot

384
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:26,439
Speaker 1: on their throats, and let's just end them now. And

385
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 1: obviously Aunt was a big reason why. And you brought

386
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 1: it up. I mean that dunk. Look that looked like

387
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:32,680
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan. It does.

388
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:33,240
Speaker 3: It does.

389
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 1: How he dunks the ball looks like Jordan. And obviously

390
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 1: Ant has an incredible series. He has one bad game,

391
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:41,160
Speaker 1: but in the series still averages thirty one points per

392
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:44,720
Speaker 1: game on fifty one percent, shooting forty four from deep,

393
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 1: eight boards, six assists, two steals, nearly a block. And

394
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:52,720
Speaker 1: this is his first playoff series win. You know, had

395
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 1: lost two prior, so I looked it up. Jordan's first

396
00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:00,200
Speaker 1: playoff series win. It took him a couple times as well,

397
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 1: all right, you know six, You know, eighty eight was

398
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:06,879
Speaker 1: Jordan's first series win. He lost in eighty five, they

399
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,160
Speaker 1: lost to the Bucks. The member These were a short series.

400
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:11,359
Speaker 1: They were best of five, lost to the Bucks and four.

401
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:14,119
Speaker 1: Then he ran into you know, the Juggernaut Celtics the

402
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:16,640
Speaker 1: next two seasons, so lost got swept both times.

403
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:17,480
Speaker 3: Celtics were good.

404
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 1: But in eighty eight against the Calves, Jordan averaged forty

405
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:27,879
Speaker 1: five points per game, five boards, five assists, shot fifty

406
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 1: six percent, barely missed a free throw, and that was

407
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 1: a five game series against the Cavaliers.

408
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:35,360
Speaker 3: So I mean any of the Calves mastery.

409
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right, that's right. But yeah, it's just like

410
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 1: it's funny that you see these stats we get now

411
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:41,960
Speaker 1: and we go nuts. We're like, well, look at these numbers,

412
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:44,000
Speaker 1: and then you're like, it's nice to always be reminded.

413
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 1: It's like, holy crap, Yes, there's a reason needs to go.

414
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 1: That went for forty five in a series and a

415
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:51,000
Speaker 1: five game series, needed all of it. He started those

416
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 1: first two games of that series, was like fifty five

417
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:55,400
Speaker 1: and fifty in two wins there, and then the Calves

418
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:57,159
Speaker 1: got back into it and he said, no, got that

419
00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 1: first series win, but around you know, took him a

420
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:02,640
Speaker 1: couple of times. Is my point. Just like aunt and yeah,

421
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:05,920
Speaker 1: it's just incredible to compare it, like the how close

422
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:08,480
Speaker 1: they are in appearance and how they play in obviously

423
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 1: just the fu attitude that they hold themselves.

424
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 2: So yeah, and the way that they get everybody on board,

425
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 2: like we're following this guy wherever he's gonna take us.

426
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:16,920
Speaker 2: I wouldn't have been surprised if Kevin Durant said that

427
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:19,159
Speaker 2: looked like God disguised as Anthony Edwards out there.

428
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 1: All right, So the Wolves move on, Let's keep going

429
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 1: here again, We're sticking in the West. Another incredible game

430
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 1: on Sunday, and this was James Harden and the Clippers

431
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 1: holding off the Mavericks crazy comeback attempt in Game four

432
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 1: that series tied to to Kyrie and the MAVs Trey

433
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 1: fighting all the way back from down thirty one points

434
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 1: to then take the lead on a miraculous layup from

435
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:46,159
Speaker 1: Kyrie over three guys.

436
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 2: Looked like the Kobe Bryant shot against four Chicago Bulls where.

437
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 1: Everybody is up. Kyri made he did and it looked like,

438
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 1: oh my god, they did this, Like what this is

439
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:58,240
Speaker 1: going to be a brutal Clippers loss, and no, James

440
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:00,160
Speaker 1: Harden had other ideas. It was just floater f after

441
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:02,880
Speaker 1: floater after floater. Paul George had a big three bunch

442
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:05,720
Speaker 1: of free throws, and the Clips, despite giving up a

443
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:08,400
Speaker 1: huge lead, pulled it out in the fourth quarter.

444
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 2: How can you not think of other classic playoff moments

445
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:12,760
Speaker 2: when you're watching the playoffs? Paul George from the corner

446
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:17,199
Speaker 2: looking like Sean Elliott. Ooh from way deep heals up.

447
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:20,480
Speaker 2: Great shot by Paul George, and man James Harden has

448
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 2: been the best, most reliable Clipper in this playoff series

449
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:26,480
Speaker 2: so far. What a weird game to watch, a thirty

450
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 2: one point lead for the Clippers, that Kyrie starts getting hot.

451
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 2: They finally come back, but even in the first half,

452
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 2: Dallas is playing incredible.

453
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 3: They're making all these big plays. The fans are going insane.

454
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:39,560
Speaker 3: You look at a still twenty point game.

455
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:42,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, they couldn't stop them for That's like the.

456
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 2: Maps would hit like a humongous three in the second quarter.

457
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:45,240
Speaker 2: I'm like, all right, this has gotta be like a

458
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:47,639
Speaker 2: ten point game. Nope, nineteen didn't make any sense. But

459
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 2: they finally got back and then yeah, James Harden went

460
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 2: crazy five for six in the fourth quarter. All of

461
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 2: o were floaters. All of them came on Luka doncic miss.

462
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:58,200
Speaker 2: Shame to admit it, but I spent several minutes looking

463
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 2: for a screen cap of Austin Power in Gold Member

464
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 2: when he walks into the bathroom and he says.

465
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:04,920
Speaker 3: Fat basted, left to floating.

466
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:07,159
Speaker 2: It's all like to think of because it was the

467
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:09,919
Speaker 2: same play over and over, Lucas standing their arms up,

468
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 2: Maxi Klebas standing ode under the rim, and Harden just

469
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 2: dumping in the floaters easily. Thirty three points on the

470
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 2: night for Harden, thirty three for Paul George, who was

471
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:21,159
Speaker 2: major in the first half. What a weird series this

472
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:25,160
Speaker 2: has been. The MAVs look so much better when Kawhi

473
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:27,440
Speaker 2: Leonard plays. Yeah, that's kind of been the key. When

474
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 2: he's not out there, they obviously are thrown off a

475
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:32,440
Speaker 2: little bit, and the Clippers just seem to find their

476
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 2: flow a little bit easier because they're not trying to

477
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:38,520
Speaker 2: figure out how to integrate Kawhi into their offense. So

478
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:40,879
Speaker 2: they knew what they had going into this one with Harden,

479
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 2: with Paul George, and they just put the team on

480
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:45,760
Speaker 2: their back and carried them to a really, really nice victory.

481
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:48,000
Speaker 2: To be able to give up a thirty one point lead,

482
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:50,879
Speaker 2: fully give it up, the Mavericks take the lead and

483
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:52,400
Speaker 2: come back and actually get the win.

484
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 3: That's pretty impressive.

485
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:55,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, Paul George did all the heavy lifting in the

486
00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 1: first half.

487
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:57,119
Speaker 3: Obviously, hit that.

488
00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:58,639
Speaker 1: Huge three that trace haid. I mean, that was a

489
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:01,880
Speaker 1: huge three, but it was taken over in the second half,

490
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:04,600
Speaker 1: mainly the fourth quarter. Yeah, either blowing by Luca. I

491
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:06,959
Speaker 1: think PJ. Washington may have got one of those floaters.

492
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:08,800
Speaker 1: Well he got his eyes on that floater in the

493
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:11,640
Speaker 1: bowl once or twice. But yeah, just like every time.

494
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 1: And I heard on the Hoop collective that Harden hit

495
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:15,679
Speaker 1: eleven floaters this entire season.

496
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:17,800
Speaker 3: Yeah it looked it looked different.

497
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:24,160
Speaker 1: Come on, yeah, eleven the entire season. Well, and hit

498
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:25,240
Speaker 1: five they're down the stretch.

499
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:29,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, six overall, six in that fourth quarter. And you

500
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 3: just don't see James Harden hit floaters like that, not anymore. Yeah,

501
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:35,879
Speaker 3: he just doesn't. He pulls up and if he gets

502
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:38,600
Speaker 3: by somebody like he was getting by Luca pretty easily

503
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 3: on a couple of those possessions late in this game,

504
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:43,879
Speaker 3: he would pull up by the elbow, but instead he

505
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 3: was just hitting a floater. So there was he hit

506
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:47,920
Speaker 3: one early in the fourth quarter, and then he had

507
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:52,400
Speaker 3: three consecutive possessions, first two or against Luca, and then

508
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:56,920
Speaker 3: Kliba got one and then after that possession, Luca threw

509
00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:59,200
Speaker 3: his arms up at Jason Kidd, what are we doing?

510
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 3: It seemed like, and they went to the timeout. And

511
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:04,120
Speaker 3: then he got two more in a row against PJ. Washington,

512
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:08,040
Speaker 3: back to back at a minute in the forty second mark.

513
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 3: So that's like five possessions in the last few minutes

514
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:14,640
Speaker 3: where he was hot. And yeah, so he just feels good.

515
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 3: And they did throw different guys at him to try

516
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:20,480
Speaker 3: and figure it out because they do have it sort

517
00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:22,920
Speaker 3: of figured out with Kawhi out. They have won both

518
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:25,040
Speaker 3: games with Kawhi sitting, and they've lost both games with

519
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 3: Kawhi blank, and yeah, it is very weird, but they

520
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:30,879
Speaker 3: know who their top two is. And Paul George was awesome.

521
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:33,720
Speaker 3: He was coming off a seven point game and smoking hot.

522
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:36,639
Speaker 3: They're running plays for him. Sixteen points in the first

523
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:38,960
Speaker 3: quarter there, twenty six in the first half. He did

524
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 3: that thing that PJ. Washington did in Game three where

525
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:45,720
Speaker 3: they got into that altercation. He just did the arms

526
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:49,080
Speaker 3: crossed looking at the bench. Paul George did that while

527
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:51,480
Speaker 3: running back. It was pretty cool. That was pretty cool.

528
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:55,760
Speaker 3: And then that that three two minutes left, it was

529
00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 3: literally over the backboard sort of kind of but like

530
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:02,000
Speaker 3: that's where his position was like, that was a tough position.

531
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:05,439
Speaker 3: That's he was like floating onto the baseline. JJ was

532
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 3: begging for a different camera angle. He's like, we can't

533
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:10,120
Speaker 3: see it. We can't see it right the baseline camp

534
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 3: set out. That was great producing the podcast. Yeah, he's

535
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:16,800
Speaker 3: got He's got all the angles down. Yeah, that was

536
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:20,240
Speaker 3: it was great. The Luca thing is interesting because Harden

537
00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:22,480
Speaker 3: was just going by him and he was questionable coming

538
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:25,400
Speaker 3: into this game with a knee injury, and it did

539
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 3: look like that it was an issue. I mean, he

540
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:31,560
Speaker 3: has he is limpy. It was one of nine from three.

541
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:33,679
Speaker 3: Terrence Man was doing a good job getting all up

542
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:37,240
Speaker 3: into him, and he's slowing down. I don't want to

543
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:38,840
Speaker 3: point to the injuries, but he has slowing down. I

544
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:39,960
Speaker 3: mean he's not shooting well.

545
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:43,680
Speaker 1: No, he even said he's letting Kyrie down after the game,

546
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:47,199
Speaker 1: like he's admitting to that. And this is why I

547
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:49,480
Speaker 1: picked Luca as the guy under the most pressure I

548
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 1: thought going in the first round, especially now with Kawhi

549
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:54,000
Speaker 1: not playing in some of these games, this would be

550
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:57,040
Speaker 1: a brutal I think first round loss for the Mavericks

551
00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:58,400
Speaker 1: if they do not pull us out still a three

552
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:00,440
Speaker 1: game series, this has been a weird one. So maybe

553
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:02,120
Speaker 1: when you start to think you have this figured out,

554
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:04,359
Speaker 1: the opposite happens. Obviously with why not being there in

555
00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:05,760
Speaker 1: Game four, there are a lot of people going, well,

556
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 1: that's a rap. Dalla's going to take this, and instead

557
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:10,080
Speaker 1: they build a thirty one point lead and you're like,

558
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:11,960
Speaker 1: well that's a rap. And the team comes back and

559
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:13,720
Speaker 1: takes the lead. You're like, well that's a rap. Now

560
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 1: it is back to five, and then the Clippers tie

561
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:17,639
Speaker 1: it up. What a weird game, what a weird series.

562
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 1: But yeah, maybe maybe it's the knee. I mean, if

563
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 1: you're out there, I'm sort of get into the whole

564
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 1: like little excuses. He's got to be better. I think

565
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 1: he knows it because Kyrie did everything he could. You're

566
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:30,399
Speaker 1: right when they were trying to come back there in

567
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:34,439
Speaker 1: the first half. He was hitting everything, but they couldn't

568
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:36,080
Speaker 1: get stops, and it was like, oh my god, they're

569
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:38,800
Speaker 1: wasting this. And they put together a few stops, they

570
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 1: would be back in this game. It'd be a little

571
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 1: more manageable. Maybe you know, twelve thirteen or whatever at

572
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:44,960
Speaker 1: the half. Still seventeen I think at the half, but

573
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 1: still they did it. He kept going in the second half.

574
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:49,720
Speaker 1: He was incredible. He's been incredible in this series. The

575
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 1: shop making from these guys, your Hardens and your Kyrie's

576
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:54,680
Speaker 1: and your Paul George's in the first half and Luca

577
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:58,760
Speaker 1: at times, it's like next level fun series. So we'll

578
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:02,040
Speaker 1: see what happens. Game five is not till Wednesday, and

579
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:04,640
Speaker 1: I will say Lawrence Frank ahead of Game four said

580
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:09,199
Speaker 1: that Kawhi is indefinitely out due to the right knee inflammation.

581
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:11,720
Speaker 1: I think it feels like it's like, how does he

582
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:14,199
Speaker 1: feel come Wednesday? Is he ready to give it a go?

583
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:14,480
Speaker 3: He not.

584
00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:16,160
Speaker 1: We saw him in game three. He didn't look good.

585
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 1: I mean probably it was probably a bad decision in

586
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:19,359
Speaker 1: the end for him to give it a go.

587
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:23,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, when he hit that or threw down that alley

588
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:25,440
Speaker 3: up and he just hung on the rim, it looked

589
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:28,399
Speaker 3: like he didn't want to fall into fall. Yeah that

590
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:30,880
Speaker 3: was straight and that was a great play to get

591
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 3: him an alley up. But yeah, he's not right. And

592
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:36,280
Speaker 3: then the Clippers just know who they are with the

593
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:38,040
Speaker 3: top two that we talked about, but everybody else was

594
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:41,360
Speaker 3: doing awesome. Terrence Man again throwing himself at Luca. You

595
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:44,159
Speaker 3: just know where you're gonna get beyond those guys. Powell

596
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:47,120
Speaker 3: was awesome off the bench, the center spot, Zubots plus

597
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 3: Plumbley was pretty damn good. Westbrook was thrown being as

598
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:52,840
Speaker 3: freaking Westbrookie as he could, so it was all right.

599
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:56,160
Speaker 3: It was alright without Kawhi, which is really damn strange.

600
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 1: Do you think Kid botched it by not switching up,

601
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:01,520
Speaker 1: you know, the center position down stretch when Harden started

602
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:03,880
Speaker 1: feeling his groove there and maybe maybe putting some more

603
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 1: height there at the rim to maybe get in Harden's

604
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:08,200
Speaker 1: head and deter them. I don't know, he was cooking,

605
00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:10,040
Speaker 1: so maybe it wouldn't have mattered. But going to a

606
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:12,960
Speaker 1: gafferd or Lively or do you think it wouldn't have mattered?

607
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:15,600
Speaker 2: MAXI wasn't helping. No, you know I think it. I

608
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:17,479
Speaker 2: don't think that that's why you lost. I think they

609
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 2: lost because they got down by thirty one in the

610
00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:20,840
Speaker 2: first half and had to give it there all to

611
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 2: get back even into this game. But certainly he could

612
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:26,159
Speaker 2: have gone with a gaffer. I think there's somebody that

613
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:27,680
Speaker 2: challenged something at the rim.

614
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:29,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was so weird for me with this game

615
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:32,520
Speaker 1: because I had to go pick up Nora from the airport.

616
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 1: Like midway through the fourth quarter, it was gridlock in Atlanta, surprise, surprise.

617
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:39,480
Speaker 1: So I fired it up on the on the audio

618
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:42,840
Speaker 1: the app there, and I thought it was glitching because

619
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 1: it just kept saying hard and floater, hard and floater,

620
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:48,639
Speaker 1: but then the score kept changing. I'm like, hold on,

621
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:51,160
Speaker 1: hold on, very weird listening to a game on the radio.

622
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:52,640
Speaker 1: Fun but very strange.

623
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't like it. No, I just want to

624
00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:56,200
Speaker 3: see the picture.

625
00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:59,000
Speaker 1: I came back and watched it to make sure he

626
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:00,880
Speaker 1: did hit all these different floaters than they were.

627
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:06,920
Speaker 3: But six floaters pension six floaters. That is a lot

628
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:10,920
Speaker 3: in a fourth quarter. Six four six. That's I need

629
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 3: n't play every single minute. I mean that's like every

630
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:16,679
Speaker 3: freaking minute he played. Yeah, but yeah, he hit him

631
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:18,600
Speaker 3: in a row over and over and over again. They're

632
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:19,160
Speaker 3: pretty open.

633
00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:21,760
Speaker 1: He's more aggressive when Kawhi is not there. Yeah, I

634
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 1: mean he just like he' said, like, okay, well, I

635
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:25,200
Speaker 1: guess I got to like really attack and look to

636
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:25,640
Speaker 1: score here.

637
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:27,560
Speaker 3: If he's good. Next game, we'll see.

638
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:30,879
Speaker 1: Pivotal Game five Wednesday in NBA history, teams breaking the

639
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:33,480
Speaker 1: two to two tie in Game five of a best

640
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:35,600
Speaker 1: of seven series have gone on to take the whole

641
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 1: thing more than eighty percent of the time. That's why

642
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:42,720
Speaker 1: it's pivotal one is it's a pivotal Game five come Wednesday.

643
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 1: Moving on back to Saturday, the Lakers finally beat the Nuggets.

644
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:53,280
Speaker 1: They said, enough is enough. You're not beating us twelve

645
00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 1: times in a row. As everyone said, they broke an

646
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:58,040
Speaker 1: eleven game losing streak to Denver, and you know the

647
00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:01,720
Speaker 1: game little lifeline here they'll play tonight in Game five

648
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:06,360
Speaker 1: and try and keep their season alive. Lebron great, eighty

649
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:08,880
Speaker 1: a monster, Dangel Russell, hitting shots, Reeves. I mean they

650
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:11,520
Speaker 1: all all four playing really well in this one. Yeah,

651
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:13,720
Speaker 1: as they held on there at the end and sort

652
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:15,560
Speaker 1: of like stiff armed the Nuggets.

653
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 3: Your thoughts, well, they do need all four of those

654
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:21,120
Speaker 3: guys playing well, and that's why they won this game

655
00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:23,640
Speaker 3: because it was the first time that it's happened this series.

656
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:27,320
Speaker 3: Whatever happens here, if it goes, if it's done in five,

657
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:30,360
Speaker 3: I think people will just skip over Anthony Davis and

658
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:33,720
Speaker 3: him having a freaking great series. Thirty points, fourteen boards

659
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:35,880
Speaker 3: for assists on sixty two percent from the floor for

660
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 3: this series, playing forty two minutes a game, he's thirty one.

661
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:42,080
Speaker 3: Looks like he's just gotten better at playing in the

662
00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:46,160
Speaker 3: playoffs and preserving his body. So that's that's very good, But.

663
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:48,400
Speaker 1: Has had some stinker fourth quarters in.

664
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:50,720
Speaker 3: The game three, he hasn't had two. Yeah, where he's

665
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:54,719
Speaker 3: done nothing. Yeah, he hasn't been a score. But he

666
00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:56,880
Speaker 3: needs some help, I mean, to be a thirty point

667
00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:59,400
Speaker 3: average guy. Do you want Michael jordan numbers? I mean,

668
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:01,800
Speaker 3: those are kind of those are basically Michael Jordy numbers

669
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:04,080
Speaker 3: thirty percent on six thirty points on sixty two percent.

670
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:09,680
Speaker 3: But he has been good against uh Doncic, uh donc Jokic.

671
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:13,720
Speaker 3: Forget the itches they were getting into the paint in

672
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 3: this one. Seventy two points in the paint they were

673
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:19,520
Speaker 3: just getting into it, and forty two points by halftime,

674
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:22,400
Speaker 3: So that's twenty one buckets in the first half into paint.

675
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:25,040
Speaker 3: That's like almost once a minute. That's like basically every possession.

676
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 3: They were just doing whatever they wanted, and Mike will

677
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 3: was really pissed at that, I mean, and they were

678
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:34,440
Speaker 3: just not getting back. So it is strange that the

679
00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:36,240
Speaker 3: Nuggets can just turn it on when they want, and

680
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:39,120
Speaker 3: that's how they are here at three to one. Uh,

681
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:41,720
Speaker 3: they've just led for forty one minutes in this series,

682
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:44,560
Speaker 3: so like ten minutes per game they had. They really

683
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:46,960
Speaker 3: it seems like they're in control three and one. But

684
00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:51,320
Speaker 3: the Lakers have been pretty damn good. It's been pretty

685
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:53,800
Speaker 3: close until the second half in most of these games.

686
00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:56,800
Speaker 3: But yeah, they got good games from from Russell and Reez.

687
00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:58,360
Speaker 3: Finally were able to have a good game at the

688
00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:00,640
Speaker 3: same time because Lebron's been great, Anthony Davis has been great.

689
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:02,840
Speaker 3: They just kind of need all four of them, and

690
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:05,040
Speaker 3: they scrapped. They won the rebound battle for the first time.

691
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 3: They were scrappy.

692
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:07,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, the question is have the Lakers actually been the

693
00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:10,600
Speaker 1: better team for most of the series or has Denver

694
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:14,080
Speaker 1: just been playing with their food there through two quarters

695
00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 1: sometimes three quarters before they win. Some of these games

696
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:18,000
Speaker 1: didn't happen in Game four, though, I don't know if

697
00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:19,640
Speaker 1: you have an answer to that. Maybe it's a little

698
00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:21,360
Speaker 1: bit of both. What your thoughts.

699
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:24,000
Speaker 2: Poor shooting by the Nuggets nine for thirty from three,

700
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:26,040
Speaker 2: The Lakers only made eight three, so it wasn't that

701
00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:29,080
Speaker 2: big of a deal overall. But we expect the Nuggets

702
00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:30,680
Speaker 2: to play a little bit better. You got to tip

703
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:32,840
Speaker 2: your cap to eighty. That was an incredible performance. Twenty

704
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:34,760
Speaker 2: five and twenty three. That's a lot of roast beef,

705
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:37,480
Speaker 2: of course, but also six assists and only one turnover.

706
00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:40,200
Speaker 2: He'd scored two points in the fourth quarter, of course,

707
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:42,760
Speaker 2: but guess what, the Lakers didn't blow the lead. That

708
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:44,920
Speaker 2: was the huge thing here because Jamal Murray was kind

709
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:46,600
Speaker 2: of nursing a little bit of a calf strain.

710
00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:50,080
Speaker 3: That could be a problem for Denver going forward.

711
00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:52,600
Speaker 2: But when I look at Game five, I think that

712
00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:56,600
Speaker 2: it's probably gonna be a Nuggets blowout, assuming that Murray

713
00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:58,440
Speaker 2: can play, because this is the first time they didn't

714
00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:00,360
Speaker 2: come back. We've talked about the script. It has been

715
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:02,760
Speaker 2: the exact same for all of these twelve games that

716
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:05,080
Speaker 2: they've played against each other the past couple of seasons.

717
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:07,360
Speaker 2: Lakers get out to a twelve point lead, Nuggets come

718
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:09,080
Speaker 2: back and win it. They just weren't able to do

719
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:11,400
Speaker 2: it in the second half. Part of that I thought

720
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:14,480
Speaker 2: was taken away Aaron Gordon. He wasn't necessarily as locked

721
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:17,440
Speaker 2: in as he has been throughout this series. If I'm

722
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:20,840
Speaker 2: not mistaken. Denver lost Game four against Minnesota in the

723
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:22,560
Speaker 2: first round last year after they had a three to

724
00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:25,440
Speaker 2: zero lead, So they understandably they're taking their foot off

725
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:27,440
Speaker 2: the gas a little bit here. You have to think

726
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:30,040
Speaker 2: they come back and smack it down in Game five.

727
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:31,600
Speaker 2: But a lot of that comes down to I think

728
00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 2: Jamal Murray being able to play the way Jamal Murray

729
00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:36,880
Speaker 2: has because he wasn't nearly as aggressive in this game

730
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:39,520
Speaker 2: and with his injury with Reggie Jackson coming off a

731
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:41,720
Speaker 2: sprained ankle that he had and I guess that was

732
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:44,520
Speaker 2: Game three. He did play in this one, but wasn't

733
00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:47,040
Speaker 2: very effective, didn't score in nine minutes. I feel like

734
00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:50,880
Speaker 2: tast minutes Melus over here breaking down the sixty second splits.

735
00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:54,080
Speaker 2: But as long as Murray's able to go, I think

736
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:56,680
Speaker 2: the Nugget should still be pretty confident heading back to Denver.

737
00:32:56,880 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, I mean yeah, he's questionable heading into Game

738
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:02,240
Speaker 1: five tonight. Murray, whether or not he plays. When he

739
00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:04,280
Speaker 1: has played, if I'm being honest, he hasn't had an

740
00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:08,560
Speaker 1: amazing series. Outside of that what five to six minute

741
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:10,160
Speaker 1: stretch there at the end of Game one when he

742
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 1: hits the game winner over Ad, He's been really off.

743
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:16,160
Speaker 1: The numbers are bad thirty eight percent shooting from Jamal

744
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:20,760
Speaker 1: Murray in the series, twenty percent from deep. Jamal Murray

745
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:23,320
Speaker 1: of yours prior against the Lakers has cooked them. He

746
00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:27,600
Speaker 1: has owned them, So that's huge. I'm with you. I

747
00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:30,240
Speaker 1: think I'm taking Denver tonight. It just feels like they're

748
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:33,080
Speaker 1: the type of team like, okay, yeah, like we got it,

749
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:35,640
Speaker 1: like from the jump, try and put this team away,

750
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:38,240
Speaker 1: whether or not Jamal Murray plays. What do you think

751
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:40,880
Speaker 1: of Lebron getting heated at Darvin ham there when he

752
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:44,520
Speaker 1: would not challenge the play CACP. I guess it was

753
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:46,400
Speaker 1: knocking it out. They said it was out on Lebron

754
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:51,120
Speaker 1: and Lebron very demonstrative in front of him, so much

755
00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:53,640
Speaker 1: so that then the Nuggets just scored on a layup.

756
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:56,240
Speaker 1: Jamal Murray got his two easiest points of the series

757
00:33:56,280 --> 00:34:00,440
Speaker 1: there because he was going crazy. Imagine that ended up

758
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:04,320
Speaker 1: being a two point Nuggets Oh my god. But uh yeah,

759
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:07,520
Speaker 1: any any thoughts on Lebron stewing there Darvin haam not

760
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:08,360
Speaker 1: listening to him.

761
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:13,040
Speaker 3: I like mad Lebron. It's fun for us, I will

762
00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:16,520
Speaker 3: say though. Yeah, just despite the game two game winner

763
00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:18,680
Speaker 3: for Jamal excuse me, Yeah, that was great. I had

764
00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:20,719
Speaker 3: to look it back. I had to look back one. Yeah,

765
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:26,040
Speaker 3: they blur together for sure. But besides that, Jamal hasn't

766
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:28,080
Speaker 3: been great shooting the ball. This Nuggets team hasn't been

767
00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:30,480
Speaker 3: great shooting the ball. Trey brought it up. They really

768
00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:33,040
Speaker 3: have struggled. They've shot twenty eight percent from three. That's

769
00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:35,600
Speaker 3: not good. But if you take away Yokichi Michael Porter Junior,

770
00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:38,239
Speaker 3: they're nineteen percent like the rest of them, seventeen of

771
00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:41,000
Speaker 3: eighty seven the rest of them. Shout out to Tony

772
00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:43,560
Speaker 3: Jones of the Athletic for providing that. But they really

773
00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:45,359
Speaker 3: haven't been But they can just turn it on, and

774
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:50,560
Speaker 3: that's what championship teams do. To repeat is tough because

775
00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:52,920
Speaker 3: the other team's just scrappy for four quarters. Nuggets just no,

776
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:55,640
Speaker 3: all right, we can turn it on. So they have

777
00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:58,640
Speaker 3: been able to God, they're gonna play the Minnesota Timberwolves.

778
00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 3: That's gonna be a freaking fun series. Round two in

779
00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:03,160
Speaker 3: the West is gonna be freaking fun. Yeah, it is

780
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:04,960
Speaker 3: going to be interesting to see how they bounce back

781
00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:07,680
Speaker 3: in Game five. If they just demolish it.

782
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:10,920
Speaker 1: Right, you'll catch thirty three points, fourteen boards, and fourteen assists,

783
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:13,040
Speaker 1: and one of those assists was one of the highlights

784
00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:15,680
Speaker 1: of the postseason so far, where it gets thrown over

785
00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:18,480
Speaker 1: his head while he's running. He almost shrugs mid run,

786
00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:21,720
Speaker 1: the ball bounces in front of him and he taps

787
00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:23,799
Speaker 1: it in one motion to Michael Porter Junior for the

788
00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:27,959
Speaker 1: dock and that looks so sick like only this guy

789
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:30,000
Speaker 1: could pull off a play like that. It was an

790
00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:32,680
Speaker 1: incredible pass. But we'll see how he does tonight and

791
00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:34,360
Speaker 1: the rest of these Nuggets and if the Lakers got

792
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:35,640
Speaker 1: a little bit left in them.

793
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:38,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's gotta could just like cover his eyes everybody,

794
00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:41,040
Speaker 3: no look is cool? Okay, taking another level, he could

795
00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:42,440
Speaker 3: do a no look and just tap it. But he

796
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:43,520
Speaker 3: could also just like cover his.

797
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:45,719
Speaker 1: Eye just like mugging, because he was like, I think

798
00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:48,439
Speaker 1: it's coming over here. He was just chucked over his head.

799
00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:51,560
Speaker 1: What a play. We'll see if the Lakers can get

800
00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:53,799
Speaker 1: this two six. Let's hear from you in the stream team.

801
00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:55,319
Speaker 1: Do you think the Nuggets take care of business at

802
00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:57,840
Speaker 1: home after bouncing back from the loss the final series

803
00:35:57,840 --> 00:36:00,319
Speaker 1: in the West. We'll move quickly on this one because

804
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:01,640
Speaker 1: we got a lot to talk about still. But the

805
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:04,600
Speaker 1: thunder roll to the three to zero series lead one

806
00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:09,040
Speaker 1: O six eighty five win over the Pelicans on Saturday, competitive,

807
00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:11,080
Speaker 1: I guess, until the Thunder went on that big run

808
00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:14,160
Speaker 1: in the second quarter. They pushed the lead to fifty

809
00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:17,319
Speaker 1: four to thirty nine. Sga started it off with a three,

810
00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:20,400
Speaker 1: and then lou Door caught fire and hit three consecutive threes,

811
00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:23,800
Speaker 1: and then the Pelicans just don't have the offense to

812
00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:27,000
Speaker 1: sort of catch up. And obviously, okay, sees defenses next

813
00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:29,800
Speaker 1: level as well, but yeah, okay, see uh looking to

814
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:32,600
Speaker 1: sweep this tonight? You think that'll be the case? TK.

815
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:35,719
Speaker 2: The only way that the Thunder don't sweep tonight is

816
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:37,440
Speaker 2: if the Pelicans come out and just shoot a three

817
00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:39,959
Speaker 2: pointer every single time down the court. They're shooting twenty

818
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:43,359
Speaker 2: eight percent on the series from three, so I don't know.

819
00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:44,839
Speaker 2: I don't know if that's the greatest move, but they're

820
00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:48,000
Speaker 2: making nine threes a game, and they made how many

821
00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:51,359
Speaker 2: yesterday exactly nine seventeen For the Thunder. They just can't

822
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:53,920
Speaker 2: keep up, nor can they get stopped. But other than that,

823
00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:57,480
Speaker 2: things are looking good for New Orleans. I wonder what

824
00:36:57,560 --> 00:37:00,960
Speaker 2: percentage of headlines for the Under when they win by

825
00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:02,719
Speaker 2: ten or more points, say the thunder roll.

826
00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:03,920
Speaker 3: I bet it's at least eighty percent.

827
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:08,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you see every single time, especially big Garth Brooks.

828
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:10,440
Speaker 1: Fans out here, especially in a dominant win. Exactly, you're right,

829
00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:13,000
Speaker 1: if it's fifteen or twenty, you got they rolled, and

830
00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:16,960
Speaker 1: now they're rolling in the series too. Yeah, it's almost

831
00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:19,840
Speaker 1: or classed right now. Yeah, exactly, no Zion. I mean,

832
00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:22,960
Speaker 1: you've got a less than one hundred percent brandon Ingram.

833
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:25,440
Speaker 1: You needed a look with no Zion. They needed a

834
00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:28,640
Speaker 1: big series from either CJ. McCollum and or brandon Ingram,

835
00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:32,360
Speaker 1: probably both of them. And McCollum's averaging seventeen points on

836
00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:35,480
Speaker 1: thirty eight percent shooting. He can't really hit threes. Ingram

837
00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:38,120
Speaker 1: is in the Dorcher chamber. He's averaging sixteen points per

838
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:40,880
Speaker 1: game on forty one percent shooting. And lou Dort is

839
00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:44,560
Speaker 1: not only bottling up brandon Ingram and making his life

840
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:47,239
Speaker 1: a living hell. Ludor can't miss from three. He's ten

841
00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:49,960
Speaker 1: of eighteen from deep and he's been good all season long.

842
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:52,600
Speaker 1: This guy is really a solid three and D guy.

843
00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:55,759
Speaker 1: So yeah, I think it's over tonight. I sort of

844
00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:59,239
Speaker 1: thought that after that Game one somehow the Pelicans you know,

845
00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:01,279
Speaker 1: didn't win and okay, so you pulled it out. It

846
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:03,440
Speaker 1: mite not playing great and having a lot of playoff hitters.

847
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:06,319
Speaker 1: It'll probably be over tonight unless, yeah, maybe Trey Murphy

848
00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:08,480
Speaker 1: hits eleven three pointers or something.

849
00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:13,000
Speaker 3: Thunder roll. Yeah, because if it's a sweep, thunder roll

850
00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:14,200
Speaker 3: fits really well.

851
00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:16,080
Speaker 1: She roll to a second round.

852
00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:19,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're too good. They're right by Texas Garth Brooks.

853
00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:21,640
Speaker 3: I mean they like the they like their country just

854
00:38:21,719 --> 00:38:24,920
Speaker 3: starts from Oklahoma, is pretty sure. Yeah, well the perfect

855
00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:27,440
Speaker 3: I mean that's fine. I think that's fitting.

856
00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:30,399
Speaker 2: They should have him sing an anthem or something lead

857
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:30,880
Speaker 2: the prayer.

858
00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:32,160
Speaker 3: They would love it.

859
00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:34,319
Speaker 1: I haven't seen a lot of anthems being sung.

860
00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:37,960
Speaker 3: It's fair point, like talk to me, like, I don't

861
00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:39,160
Speaker 3: talk about they singing them.

862
00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:42,000
Speaker 1: I know they're singing them, but have you could you

863
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:44,200
Speaker 1: tell me one single person that's done an anthem so

864
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:46,520
Speaker 1: far in the playoffs It seems like a weird like,

865
00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:48,120
Speaker 1: oh my god, they got so.

866
00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:50,560
Speaker 3: And so I do know. Don Staley rang the bell

867
00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:51,600
Speaker 3: from the seventies.

868
00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:55,120
Speaker 1: Six Don Staley, Doctor Jay and iverson sitting courtse that

869
00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:55,760
Speaker 1: look cool.

870
00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:58,200
Speaker 3: Miss slapped jail and Brunson's hands gave him at a

871
00:38:58,239 --> 00:39:01,640
Speaker 3: hand a little uh high before the game in the

872
00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:06,400
Speaker 3: hallway anyway, Yeah, Lou Dirt, I didn't think he was

873
00:39:06,440 --> 00:39:08,920
Speaker 3: going to be this great a three point shooter before

874
00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:11,200
Speaker 3: this season, but having his career three point season then

875
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:14,600
Speaker 3: being able to do it and just doing that shooting

876
00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:16,520
Speaker 3: from there is all he really has to do. But

877
00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:20,919
Speaker 3: he's been scrapping through, fighting through every screen and all that.

878
00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:24,000
Speaker 3: So that's that's been cool for He's gotten under Brandon

879
00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:27,439
Speaker 3: Ingram's skin, that's for sure. So Ingram was quiet only

880
00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:29,440
Speaker 3: five first half points. The other guy who was supposed

881
00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:32,200
Speaker 3: to take over with CJ. McCollum, who's cold in the

882
00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:35,040
Speaker 3: first half, he was three of twelve and that didn't happen.

883
00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:37,200
Speaker 3: So they just don't have the depth that okay see

884
00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:40,200
Speaker 3: does they do not. And it was awesome. Actually, Jill

885
00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:42,960
Speaker 3: Williams got hit in the first minute and he had

886
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:45,080
Speaker 3: to leave this game, and case On Walls came in

887
00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:49,560
Speaker 3: and was awesome. Just a guy you just need to

888
00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:52,759
Speaker 3: come through. His first possession, actually the first minute he

889
00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:55,240
Speaker 3: was in, he did on like a fifty foot sprint

890
00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:58,800
Speaker 3: where he was trailing Herbert Jones and he poked it through.

891
00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:03,800
Speaker 3: He had a nice assis. He was another Steel floaters.

892
00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:06,279
Speaker 3: He the guy was doing everything, So that was that

893
00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:09,240
Speaker 3: was great. And Chet's block shots is as the Pelicans

894
00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:11,160
Speaker 3: were trying to give it to him, was pretty cool.

895
00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:14,000
Speaker 1: Trying to give it to him. Maybe stopped trying to

896
00:40:14,040 --> 00:40:16,399
Speaker 1: do that. Yeah, I mean respect, I mean go.

897
00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:16,920
Speaker 3: For the poster.

898
00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:19,800
Speaker 1: I all love that. But Chet was literally no dunks.

899
00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:22,360
Speaker 1: It was like, we're not having it. That was incredible,

900
00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:25,000
Speaker 1: and you're right because and then j Doub returns and

901
00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:26,680
Speaker 1: like then he had a stretch in the game where

902
00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:28,520
Speaker 1: he just like took over and basically put it to bed.

903
00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:31,680
Speaker 1: Like that was it because the league just balloon. Related

00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:42,320
Speaker 1: Dagnall reminds me of poverty from Traders's classes.

927
00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:44,120
Speaker 3: Or is just sizing people up.

928
00:41:44,239 --> 00:41:47,879
Speaker 1: It's more like sizing people up. Don't let them see

929
00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:50,120
Speaker 1: your eyes, don't let them see your pupils. I can't

930
00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:54,400
Speaker 1: get a read on it, that's true.

931
00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:54,440
Speaker 3: Okay, I can see without pupils.

932
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:55,880
Speaker 1: It's pretty impressive.

933
00:41:56,680 --> 00:42:00,560
Speaker 3: Like Jayalen Williams is a postgame look oh oh yes.

934
00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:04,840
Speaker 1: Right, right, right, yes, yeah, yeah, I look, Yeah, like

935
00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:06,799
Speaker 1: Kenny from South Park and.

936
00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:12,560
Speaker 3: Yeah submarine dies, Yes like Steve. What a crazy look?

937
00:42:13,080 --> 00:42:13,960
Speaker 1: Insane look?

938
00:42:15,160 --> 00:42:18,279
Speaker 2: That's funny, but it's like I was looking good when

939
00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:19,840
Speaker 2: you show up to postgame wearing that.

940
00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:25,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, And could you hear well in that? Yeah?

941
00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:27,919
Speaker 3: I mean a little muffled, but you can still hear. Five.

942
00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:30,400
Speaker 1: We had some incredible looks this weekend. So over the

943
00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:32,600
Speaker 1: next couple of weeks here we're going to find out MVP,

944
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:34,719
Speaker 1: Defensive Player of the Year, Rookie of the Year, along

945
00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:37,160
Speaker 1: with all NBA All Defensive and All Rookie teams got

946
00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:39,080
Speaker 1: got a few of the awards handed out there last

947
00:42:39,080 --> 00:42:41,080
Speaker 1: week though. All right, let's move to the Eastern Conference.

948
00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:44,160
Speaker 1: We'll start with one of the games of the weekend,

949
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:48,920
Speaker 1: Jalen Brunson dropping a Knicks playoff record forty seven points

950
00:42:49,120 --> 00:42:52,359
Speaker 1: in Game four to give the Knicks the three to

951
00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:54,680
Speaker 1: one lead. They'll head back to Madison Square Garden for

952
00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:59,280
Speaker 1: Game five, but eighteen to thirty four shooting for Jalen Brunson,

953
00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:03,160
Speaker 1: topping Bernard King's previous franchise playoff high of forty six

954
00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:06,959
Speaker 1: setback in eighty four. Did that twice. What a game

955
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:09,359
Speaker 1: from this guy. And there's a lot to unpack from

956
00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:09,719
Speaker 1: this one.

957
00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:10,080
Speaker 3: Yeah.

958
00:43:10,239 --> 00:43:11,400
Speaker 1: I don't know if you want to start with Brunson

959
00:43:11,480 --> 00:43:12,279
Speaker 1: or you got something else.

960
00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:15,400
Speaker 3: Well. I was just surprised, all right, the Knicks winning

961
00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:18,680
Speaker 3: this game, because, yes, Brunson was freaking awesome, but the

962
00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:20,600
Speaker 3: rest of the guys just weren't having a hot shooting

963
00:43:20,719 --> 00:43:23,719
Speaker 3: night by any means. But they were doing enough everything else,

964
00:43:23,840 --> 00:43:26,840
Speaker 3: they were doing so much, I mean hard. Jason Josh

965
00:43:26,880 --> 00:43:30,959
Speaker 3: Hart didn't hit a shot, and he was amazing. Yes,

966
00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:34,160
Speaker 3: Rodman mode, Yeah, that's a Rodman line.

967
00:43:34,280 --> 00:43:38,440
Speaker 2: Four points, five assists, five turnovers, zero for seven from

968
00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:42,480
Speaker 2: the field, seventeen rebounds, seventeen rebounds.

969
00:43:42,719 --> 00:43:44,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, apparently he became just the six player in the

970
00:43:44,840 --> 00:43:47,440
Speaker 3: history to have zero mayfield goals and at least fifteen

971
00:43:47,480 --> 00:43:48,839
Speaker 3: rebounds in a playoff game.

972
00:43:49,719 --> 00:43:51,160
Speaker 1: Wow, is he the shortest ever?

973
00:43:51,239 --> 00:43:55,319
Speaker 3: Do that? Right? Maybe fifteen rebounds in a game? Yeah,

974
00:43:55,360 --> 00:43:58,520
Speaker 3: the I didn't. I didn't go and see the other

975
00:43:58,600 --> 00:44:00,560
Speaker 3: five who did it, But there was there was one

976
00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:03,480
Speaker 3: player who did it twice. I saw you guys know

977
00:44:03,560 --> 00:44:08,160
Speaker 3: who he is, didn't. No? Not, Dennis is the first

978
00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:11,239
Speaker 3: three No, the first three letters of his name were

979
00:44:11,320 --> 00:44:15,839
Speaker 3: close to dena close to Den. It sounds like Den

980
00:44:15,920 --> 00:44:19,320
Speaker 3: but with another letter to start the name Ben Ben Simmons,

981
00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:22,879
Speaker 3: No Ben Wallace. Yeah that makes sense.

982
00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:29,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, anyway, but he did sounds like.

983
00:44:32,440 --> 00:44:34,440
Speaker 3: What a serious what is because that was by far

984
00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:36,640
Speaker 3: his worst scoring game of this series. He has been hot.

985
00:44:36,800 --> 00:44:37,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then John J.

986
00:44:38,040 --> 00:44:41,960
Speaker 3: De Vincenzo not hitting shots. He missed every single one

987
00:44:41,960 --> 00:44:44,680
Speaker 3: of his first half shots. He saw Timms yelling at

988
00:44:44,719 --> 00:44:47,080
Speaker 3: him like go up top, you know, do the wheel

989
00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:50,160
Speaker 3: thing where you just grab a dribble hand off, and

990
00:44:50,440 --> 00:44:53,000
Speaker 3: Devintenzel went to the bench and he was just daydreaming

991
00:44:53,040 --> 00:44:55,719
Speaker 3: at some point. It was a little a little daydream,

992
00:44:56,200 --> 00:44:59,440
Speaker 3: h Dante daydream. The d D stands for daydream. Now anyways,

993
00:44:59,560 --> 00:45:01,560
Speaker 3: hard I mean, he didn't have a great game shooting.

994
00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:04,200
Speaker 3: Mitch Rumson was out, Press Chewa came in, didn't hit

995
00:45:04,239 --> 00:45:05,959
Speaker 3: a basket, but did so many other things. He missed

996
00:45:05,960 --> 00:45:08,839
Speaker 3: a dunk, Bradley Beal like he missed a dunk. Boy

997
00:45:08,880 --> 00:45:11,440
Speaker 3: On left the game. But I don't know if they

998
00:45:11,480 --> 00:45:15,040
Speaker 3: win this game, yeah exactly. They missed yeah, but they

999
00:45:15,040 --> 00:45:17,160
Speaker 3: missed ten free throws, they lost a turnover, Battley lost

1000
00:45:17,160 --> 00:45:19,520
Speaker 3: a three point battle, but they had so much fight.

1001
00:45:19,600 --> 00:45:22,520
Speaker 3: O g scoring helping out on board the block shots

1002
00:45:23,239 --> 00:45:27,320
Speaker 3: that one on Nick Batoum, while sixteen fourteen three blocks

1003
00:45:27,400 --> 00:45:30,080
Speaker 3: Steven Chancel came alive in the second half. McBride was awesome,

1004
00:45:30,080 --> 00:45:31,680
Speaker 3: and when it comes down to it, they just had

1005
00:45:31,960 --> 00:45:35,760
Speaker 3: more fight. They had fifteen offensive rebounds, seventh seventh offensive

1006
00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:40,160
Speaker 3: rebounds in the fourth quarter, eleven to second chance points

1007
00:45:40,200 --> 00:45:44,000
Speaker 3: in the fourth quarter. That's what it was. They wanted rebounds.

1008
00:45:44,040 --> 00:45:46,040
Speaker 3: This is what they did all season long. It's the

1009
00:45:46,080 --> 00:45:50,120
Speaker 3: same freaking team as as the regular season. Tim's got

1010
00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:51,080
Speaker 3: him going hard.

1011
00:45:51,800 --> 00:45:52,359
Speaker 1: What do you think?

1012
00:45:52,920 --> 00:45:55,080
Speaker 2: I thought this was kind of a flipping the script

1013
00:45:55,160 --> 00:45:58,200
Speaker 2: from the knixt couple of wins in Madison Square Garden

1014
00:45:58,239 --> 00:46:00,879
Speaker 2: where Brunton couldn't really get on tracks, but everybody else

1015
00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:03,719
Speaker 2: was hitting threes, so everything evened out. This time it

1016
00:46:03,760 --> 00:46:05,640
Speaker 2: was Brunton who has apparently just figured out the way

1017
00:46:05,640 --> 00:46:07,400
Speaker 2: the Sixers are going to guard him. It was working

1018
00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:09,879
Speaker 2: for a while putting some length on him, having those

1019
00:46:09,880 --> 00:46:11,680
Speaker 2: guys trail, but now he just waits for that guy

1020
00:46:11,680 --> 00:46:15,360
Speaker 2: to fly past. It's an easy shot. Bell was super impressive.

1021
00:46:15,560 --> 00:46:18,800
Speaker 2: And then the defense from Oji Anobi and Precious Atchua

1022
00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:21,520
Speaker 2: when Isaah Hartenstein checked out in the third quarter, completely

1023
00:46:21,560 --> 00:46:24,160
Speaker 2: flipped the game. Oji made it almost impossible for Joel

1024
00:46:24,160 --> 00:46:26,839
Speaker 2: Embiid to catch the ball, just fronting him on a lot,

1025
00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:30,160
Speaker 2: denying him the catch, and then they would send another guy,

1026
00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:33,800
Speaker 2: oftentimes a Chua being the double doing some roaming stuff

1027
00:46:33,840 --> 00:46:37,400
Speaker 2: that was just so impressive to limit Embiid to no

1028
00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:40,000
Speaker 2: field goals in the fourth quarter, which has happened in

1029
00:46:40,040 --> 00:46:42,680
Speaker 2: about a quarter of his playoff games. Joel Embiid has

1030
00:46:42,719 --> 00:46:44,600
Speaker 2: gone without a made shot in.

1031
00:46:44,560 --> 00:46:47,840
Speaker 3: The fourth quarter. It's so weird because.

1032
00:46:47,600 --> 00:46:50,239
Speaker 2: It feels like every year and this year included, Embiid

1033
00:46:51,080 --> 00:46:53,160
Speaker 2: is not quite healthy enough to be able to carry

1034
00:46:53,160 --> 00:46:55,799
Speaker 2: this team to victories, and then when he sits, the

1035
00:46:55,880 --> 00:46:59,000
Speaker 2: team isn't good enough to overcome him sitting. So he's

1036
00:46:59,040 --> 00:47:00,719
Speaker 2: got to play forty eight minute it feels like. But

1037
00:47:00,760 --> 00:47:02,839
Speaker 2: also we all know there's no way Joel Embiid can

1038
00:47:02,840 --> 00:47:04,800
Speaker 2: play forty eight minutes. He needs to basically take the

1039
00:47:04,800 --> 00:47:07,799
Speaker 2: second quarter off if he's gonna be effective in the

1040
00:47:07,800 --> 00:47:10,919
Speaker 2: second half. Only one rebound in the fourth quarter. As well,

1041
00:47:11,160 --> 00:47:12,959
Speaker 2: he had that open jumper that he could have knocked

1042
00:47:12,960 --> 00:47:15,240
Speaker 2: down with about twenty six seconds man maybe the sixteen

1043
00:47:15,239 --> 00:47:18,360
Speaker 2: seconds there was a six on the clock, I guarantee it. Instead,

1044
00:47:18,719 --> 00:47:20,520
Speaker 2: tried to get foul at the rim, went for the layup.

1045
00:47:20,560 --> 00:47:22,160
Speaker 2: Should have just took the jumper. We've seen you make

1046
00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:24,600
Speaker 2: a jumper how many times this season. That's how he

1047
00:47:25,160 --> 00:47:27,360
Speaker 2: was scoring more than a point a minute during the

1048
00:47:27,400 --> 00:47:30,320
Speaker 2: regular season. I'll also say Tyrese Maxi not the greatest

1049
00:47:30,360 --> 00:47:32,960
Speaker 2: fourth quarter. He's been pretty solid, I think in this

1050
00:47:33,080 --> 00:47:37,440
Speaker 2: playoff series. But they were daring him to beat the Knicks.

1051
00:47:37,840 --> 00:47:40,960
Speaker 2: He was just a little hesitant and a little out

1052
00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:42,680
Speaker 2: of it. It came down to that free throw that

1053
00:47:42,719 --> 00:47:45,440
Speaker 2: Kyle Lowry missed and Maxie didn't know the play was on.

1054
00:47:45,680 --> 00:47:47,800
Speaker 3: I thought that was a big time strange.

1055
00:47:48,280 --> 00:47:50,680
Speaker 2: So, yeah, the Knicks scrapped this one out, got the

1056
00:47:50,719 --> 00:47:53,040
Speaker 2: win there in Madison Square Garden.

1057
00:47:53,480 --> 00:47:56,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what Chuck was calling it all night. Yeahing

1058
00:47:56,560 --> 00:48:02,080
Speaker 3: at Madison Square Garden. Mad He was mad that all

1059
00:48:02,120 --> 00:48:03,319
Speaker 3: those Knicks fans got there.

1060
00:48:04,640 --> 00:48:06,000
Speaker 1: I mean, what what are you gonna do? Yeah, I

1061
00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:08,200
Speaker 1: guess many people have pointed out it's cheaper to take

1062
00:48:08,239 --> 00:48:10,319
Speaker 1: the train go watch a game in Philadelphia that it

1063
00:48:10,360 --> 00:48:12,680
Speaker 1: is get a ticket in Madison Square Garden.

1064
00:48:12,719 --> 00:48:16,200
Speaker 3: He's mad at his fans for not being packed into

1065
00:48:16,239 --> 00:48:19,640
Speaker 3: that house to hear whoever sing the national anthem. I'm

1066
00:48:19,680 --> 00:48:21,640
Speaker 3: not sure who it was, but go there and sing

1067
00:48:21,719 --> 00:48:24,399
Speaker 3: and cheer for your guys. But you are you're right

1068
00:48:24,440 --> 00:48:27,640
Speaker 3: in the assessment of drawn beat he just there is

1069
00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:30,000
Speaker 3: there's gonna be playoff games, or he's just not healthy.

1070
00:48:30,120 --> 00:48:31,839
Speaker 1: Well you're damned if you do. Damned if you don't,

1071
00:48:31,880 --> 00:48:34,200
Speaker 1: because you just said it. You you can't rest them

1072
00:48:34,440 --> 00:48:36,760
Speaker 1: because your team always gets beat when he rests. Okay,

1073
00:48:36,920 --> 00:48:39,120
Speaker 1: so you got to play him, but you can't because he's,

1074
00:48:39,360 --> 00:48:41,799
Speaker 1: you know, also a giant man who had a knee

1075
00:48:41,840 --> 00:48:45,280
Speaker 1: injury and let before that even we've seen the conditioning

1076
00:48:45,320 --> 00:48:46,800
Speaker 1: goes as you get into the fourth quarters when he

1077
00:48:46,800 --> 00:48:48,759
Speaker 1: has a lot of minutes on him. I think the

1078
00:48:48,800 --> 00:48:50,600
Speaker 1: game actually turned in New York's favor. At the end

1079
00:48:50,600 --> 00:48:53,040
Speaker 1: of the third quarter, Sixers had a lead. They were

1080
00:48:53,120 --> 00:48:55,719
Speaker 1: up seven. They gave up back to back threes to

1081
00:48:55,800 --> 00:48:58,640
Speaker 1: Dante Devincenzo, another three to Brunton on the wing. That

1082
00:48:58,719 --> 00:49:01,719
Speaker 1: was a big shot. They completely fell asleep on a

1083
00:49:01,800 --> 00:49:05,319
Speaker 1: baseline out of bounds play where I think it was

1084
00:49:05,400 --> 00:49:07,840
Speaker 1: Dante sort of snuck inside there. Brunts had kicked it

1085
00:49:07,840 --> 00:49:09,640
Speaker 1: into him, just got a lay up, and then they

1086
00:49:09,640 --> 00:49:13,120
Speaker 1: got outworked for two offensive rebounds because of Josh Hart

1087
00:49:13,120 --> 00:49:15,600
Speaker 1: being everywhere, and that gave up the end one to Bruntson,

1088
00:49:15,640 --> 00:49:18,799
Speaker 1: and I think that was huge in imagine that doesn't happen.

1089
00:49:18,840 --> 00:49:22,080
Speaker 1: Imagine they're up five, up seven, maybe then nurse goes,

1090
00:49:22,520 --> 00:49:25,839
Speaker 1: all right, Joelle, we're gonna get you two minutes here,

1091
00:49:25,880 --> 00:49:27,399
Speaker 1: three minutes here at the start of the fourth quarter.

1092
00:49:27,480 --> 00:49:30,080
Speaker 1: We got a little lead to play with. Instead, he

1093
00:49:30,120 --> 00:49:32,439
Speaker 1: couldn't because it was gone and they were trailing after

1094
00:49:32,480 --> 00:49:34,759
Speaker 1: the end one Brunton play and it's like, okay, well

1095
00:49:34,760 --> 00:49:36,879
Speaker 1: we gotta play Embid. You gotta go all twelve minutes

1096
00:49:36,880 --> 00:49:39,640
Speaker 1: here in the fourth and yeah, Og was a monster,

1097
00:49:40,320 --> 00:49:42,520
Speaker 1: But you're right, MAXI had two really good looks at

1098
00:49:42,560 --> 00:49:43,760
Speaker 1: three because the double was coming.

1099
00:49:44,560 --> 00:49:44,759
Speaker 3: You know.

1100
00:49:44,840 --> 00:49:47,640
Speaker 1: It was a nice tweak, I thought from Tibbs because

1101
00:49:47,640 --> 00:49:49,720
Speaker 1: earlier in the season they send a double at a series,

1102
00:49:49,719 --> 00:49:51,560
Speaker 1: they'd send a double at Embiid, but they just sent

1103
00:49:51,640 --> 00:49:53,680
Speaker 1: it early and he's a good passer, so you would

1104
00:49:53,680 --> 00:49:56,680
Speaker 1: just find an open guy like easily. They waited until

1105
00:49:56,719 --> 00:49:59,080
Speaker 1: Embiid like finally put the ball on the ground and

1106
00:49:59,080 --> 00:50:01,360
Speaker 1: then they would send it and sometimes off of Maxie

1107
00:50:02,160 --> 00:50:04,040
Speaker 1: and it worked. It just worked better. It got them

1108
00:50:04,040 --> 00:50:05,960
Speaker 1: out of their flow a little bit. But MAXI had

1109
00:50:06,000 --> 00:50:07,680
Speaker 1: looks and I mean he had a great game, He's

1110
00:50:07,680 --> 00:50:09,600
Speaker 1: had an incredible series, but he wishes he had those

1111
00:50:09,640 --> 00:50:11,240
Speaker 1: ones back because they were wide open looks.

1112
00:50:11,400 --> 00:50:13,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a good call on the tips change up

1113
00:50:13,360 --> 00:50:16,799
Speaker 3: because that has messed things up for the seventy six ers.

1114
00:50:16,800 --> 00:50:19,160
Speaker 3: That shouldn't have got rid of Jimmy Butler. I guess that's

1115
00:50:19,160 --> 00:50:19,759
Speaker 3: what it comes down to.

1116
00:50:19,800 --> 00:50:19,840
Speaker 2: You.

1117
00:50:20,040 --> 00:50:22,520
Speaker 3: They just need somebody else to help him out. But

1118
00:50:22,600 --> 00:50:24,480
Speaker 3: the scene on the other side is just out scrapping.

1119
00:50:24,520 --> 00:50:26,600
Speaker 3: They've out rebounded the seventy six ers and three of

1120
00:50:26,640 --> 00:50:29,160
Speaker 3: the four games they have won. Three out the four games.

1121
00:50:29,719 --> 00:50:34,320
Speaker 3: They just they fight a lot more. Uh. And that

1122
00:50:34,360 --> 00:50:36,920
Speaker 3: the missed Kyle Lowry free throw on purpose to try

1123
00:50:36,960 --> 00:50:39,560
Speaker 3: and retain the ball that Tyres Maxley wasn't aware of

1124
00:50:39,680 --> 00:50:42,920
Speaker 3: that was weird. Would he have gotten it, I don't know,

1125
00:50:42,920 --> 00:50:45,160
Speaker 3: because Brentson was there to fight, Yeah, but it was

1126
00:50:45,200 --> 00:50:46,279
Speaker 3: weird that I missed though.

1127
00:50:46,360 --> 00:50:49,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, it went it went far and then the tap

1128
00:50:49,280 --> 00:50:51,560
Speaker 1: happened and it basically had tapped two around the.

1129
00:50:51,560 --> 00:50:55,800
Speaker 3: Three point Nwry put his arms. Worry man, He's literally

1130
00:50:55,920 --> 00:50:59,840
Speaker 3: puzzled by him not knowing that. Uh, just a random note.

1131
00:51:00,440 --> 00:51:03,239
Speaker 3: John Brunson did get injured and left the game and

1132
00:51:03,320 --> 00:51:05,120
Speaker 3: went to the locker room and came back and was

1133
00:51:05,120 --> 00:51:07,319
Speaker 3: still able to be awesome in the fourth quarter. And

1134
00:51:07,360 --> 00:51:11,080
Speaker 3: when he came back, he had his hands down his pants. Uh,

1135
00:51:11,160 --> 00:51:13,400
Speaker 3: he kind of had it was it was weird to

1136
00:51:13,040 --> 00:51:16,239
Speaker 3: see a man having both hands down his pants. Looked

1137
00:51:16,280 --> 00:51:18,319
Speaker 3: like Al Bundy, looked like Ed O'Neil, who is now

1138
00:51:18,800 --> 00:51:24,719
Speaker 3: now the star of Clipped. That's right, who is Donald Sterling?

1139
00:51:25,719 --> 00:51:28,160
Speaker 3: Will he have his hands down his pants? Will he

1140
00:51:28,280 --> 00:51:30,800
Speaker 3: be a Donald Sterling? It sure seems like I'm guessing.

1141
00:51:32,040 --> 00:51:36,560
Speaker 3: I don't know. Stay tuned, that's not that's not out yet. No,

1142
00:51:36,800 --> 00:51:39,719
Speaker 3: I can't wait. I'm sure.

1143
00:51:40,400 --> 00:51:43,760
Speaker 1: I'm sure we'll be talking about it. Looks crazy, la crazy,

1144
00:51:44,320 --> 00:51:44,960
Speaker 1: looks crazy.

1145
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:45,960
Speaker 3: We got people.

1146
00:51:45,640 --> 00:51:49,439
Speaker 1: Playing like NBA guys like the funny Chris Paul Guy

1147
00:51:49,560 --> 00:51:52,520
Speaker 1: and JJ Reddick, and it's going to be amazic. It's

1148
00:51:52,920 --> 00:52:00,000
Speaker 1: if it's anything like the O j one a juice Juice.

1149
00:52:02,320 --> 00:52:03,960
Speaker 3: Kyle Lowry was hilarious in this game.

1150
00:52:04,239 --> 00:52:07,400
Speaker 2: I had the grift you had on Twitter skets where

1151
00:52:07,440 --> 00:52:08,720
Speaker 2: like what happened?

1152
00:52:08,719 --> 00:52:11,959
Speaker 1: So and Bean sets a pick. Now he might maybe

1153
00:52:12,040 --> 00:52:15,000
Speaker 1: has his leg out a little bit. Brunson appears to

1154
00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:18,360
Speaker 1: trip on it. Maybe he's embellishing because he's trying to

1155
00:52:18,400 --> 00:52:20,840
Speaker 1: one out Lowry with terms of you know, looking for

1156
00:52:20,840 --> 00:52:24,360
Speaker 1: fouls and stuff. But anyway, Brunson falls to the ground

1157
00:52:24,719 --> 00:52:27,960
Speaker 1: as they're coming around this pick. At Lowry, you can

1158
00:52:28,000 --> 00:52:31,719
Speaker 1: see him look at Brunson, who's lying on his back like,

1159
00:52:32,040 --> 00:52:33,560
Speaker 1: you know, the opposite of a plank, because I guess

1160
00:52:33,560 --> 00:52:35,240
Speaker 1: you light on your stomach when it was a plank,

1161
00:52:35,280 --> 00:52:38,920
Speaker 1: but laying on his back, looks down decides well, right

1162
00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:42,040
Speaker 1: the three point line. I'm just gonna basically trip myself

1163
00:52:42,160 --> 00:52:44,040
Speaker 1: over him as I attempt a three.

1164
00:52:43,840 --> 00:52:48,360
Speaker 5: Pointer yazy and it worked.

1165
00:52:49,120 --> 00:52:51,839
Speaker 1: Three free throws, yeah, I mean that was I mean,

1166
00:52:52,320 --> 00:52:53,560
Speaker 1: but Lowry, you're right it was.

1167
00:52:53,920 --> 00:52:56,520
Speaker 2: I mean, well, the movie pulled on the like to

1168
00:52:56,560 --> 00:52:59,040
Speaker 2: get those free throws. At the end, Og runs into

1169
00:52:59,120 --> 00:53:01,319
Speaker 2: him and you can see Lowery grab o g yes

1170
00:53:01,400 --> 00:53:04,799
Speaker 2: like pull hard both fall to and shoot it. Man,

1171
00:53:05,920 --> 00:53:10,239
Speaker 2: he should be a rap when he retired. I'm on

1172
00:53:10,320 --> 00:53:13,440
Speaker 2: to you, he's the only one who could.

1173
00:53:13,320 --> 00:53:15,279
Speaker 1: Do it well. I mean, the funny part is like

1174
00:53:15,400 --> 00:53:18,319
Speaker 1: looking bat Brunson playing him like Brunson picking up a

1175
00:53:18,360 --> 00:53:19,279
Speaker 1: lot of Lowry moves.

1176
00:53:19,320 --> 00:53:19,800
Speaker 3: You know, he's.

1177
00:53:19,680 --> 00:53:23,360
Speaker 1: Philadelphia bulldog point guard types. He's smartest. Hell, he's cerebral,

1178
00:53:23,360 --> 00:53:26,080
Speaker 1: like looking for every advantage. He's not as bad, but

1179
00:53:26,320 --> 00:53:28,440
Speaker 1: you know, give him, give him ten more years than

1180
00:53:28,440 --> 00:53:30,160
Speaker 1: he might be, because this is what Lowry's gonna do.

1181
00:53:30,200 --> 00:53:33,520
Speaker 1: But that one was insane, that one, like Lowry's got

1182
00:53:33,560 --> 00:53:35,600
Speaker 1: two of the crazier ones we saw. Remember earlier in

1183
00:53:35,640 --> 00:53:38,200
Speaker 1: the regular season, somebody fell over the basket and he

1184
00:53:38,320 --> 00:53:41,960
Speaker 1: like he just threw himself. He just purposely threw himself

1185
00:53:42,000 --> 00:53:44,279
Speaker 1: backwards over the guy on the ground when he could

1186
00:53:44,280 --> 00:53:46,319
Speaker 1: have just laid it in to get the foul.

1187
00:53:46,400 --> 00:53:46,960
Speaker 3: Oh yeah yeah.

1188
00:53:47,239 --> 00:53:49,600
Speaker 1: And then this one's next level in my opinion. And

1189
00:53:49,680 --> 00:53:52,680
Speaker 1: I love Lowry, but that was that was I couldn't

1190
00:53:52,680 --> 00:53:56,319
Speaker 1: believe it. Oh my god, it's so good, and for some.

1191
00:53:56,239 --> 00:53:58,879
Speaker 3: Reason it is good. It is good. And Brunson getting

1192
00:53:58,920 --> 00:54:01,160
Speaker 3: into it with Joean Beadle little bit where embiid stuck

1193
00:54:01,200 --> 00:54:03,359
Speaker 3: his elbow out a little bit as Brinton was going

1194
00:54:03,400 --> 00:54:05,440
Speaker 3: through the lane, and then Brunson went up to him

1195
00:54:05,440 --> 00:54:07,640
Speaker 3: after and it looked like you just said, what was

1196
00:54:07,640 --> 00:54:09,120
Speaker 3: that for? Would you give me that for?

1197
00:54:09,200 --> 00:54:12,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's what exactly what he's saying, And uh, benc

1198
00:54:12,719 --> 00:54:14,359
Speaker 1: be like played dumb. He's sort of like, what are.

1199
00:54:14,239 --> 00:54:16,399
Speaker 3: You talking about? Yeah, a lot of people all the time.

1200
00:54:18,239 --> 00:54:21,560
Speaker 3: I had flashbacks to game three where there's testicles kicked

1201
00:54:21,560 --> 00:54:24,160
Speaker 3: and Joel Embiid was was doing a lot of that

1202
00:54:24,320 --> 00:54:27,000
Speaker 3: type of stuff that he sold and did well and

1203
00:54:27,360 --> 00:54:28,680
Speaker 3: got a lot of people angry. Got a lot of

1204
00:54:28,680 --> 00:54:31,120
Speaker 3: people angry watching our show. You gotta get mad at

1205
00:54:31,160 --> 00:54:36,200
Speaker 3: Embiid tugging on Mitchell Robinson's ankle and all that. Uh, yes,

1206
00:54:36,560 --> 00:54:39,760
Speaker 3: I get I get all that. All that whole package

1207
00:54:39,800 --> 00:54:43,000
Speaker 3: of that Embid game will be cut together. I'm sure

1208
00:54:43,000 --> 00:54:44,840
Speaker 3: it already is. I haven't seen it. But like that

1209
00:54:45,040 --> 00:54:47,800
Speaker 3: was a lot of testical kicking and all that. It

1210
00:54:47,920 --> 00:54:48,360
Speaker 3: really was.

1211
00:54:48,520 --> 00:54:49,920
Speaker 1: So what do you think happens? What do you think

1212
00:54:49,960 --> 00:54:52,520
Speaker 1: happens in game five? Here? Do you think the Knicks

1213
00:54:52,520 --> 00:54:53,080
Speaker 1: put it away?

1214
00:54:53,880 --> 00:54:54,840
Speaker 3: Yes? I do.

1215
00:54:54,960 --> 00:54:57,920
Speaker 2: I think they will shoot better playing in in real

1216
00:54:57,960 --> 00:55:01,160
Speaker 2: Madison Square Garden, And I don't know, they just seem

1217
00:55:01,239 --> 00:55:04,160
Speaker 2: to have more players that they can rely on. Tobias

1218
00:55:04,200 --> 00:55:07,080
Speaker 2: Harris has made fifteen shots in this series. That's the

1219
00:55:07,080 --> 00:55:08,480
Speaker 2: guy they chose over Jimmy Butler.

1220
00:55:08,520 --> 00:55:11,400
Speaker 3: That's the guy they chose. I remember that he doesn't

1221
00:55:11,560 --> 00:55:15,560
Speaker 3: he's ready to leave. I do believe and ready for

1222
00:55:15,640 --> 00:55:19,239
Speaker 3: him leave this. Yeah, as a mutual, we'll drive you

1223
00:55:19,280 --> 00:55:19,840
Speaker 3: to the airport.

1224
00:55:20,400 --> 00:55:22,960
Speaker 1: So we'll see what a series though, Man, that was

1225
00:55:23,280 --> 00:55:25,640
Speaker 1: a really fun game, those two games on Sunday after

1226
00:55:25,760 --> 00:55:28,839
Speaker 1: after a really quite frankly boring Saturday where we had

1227
00:55:28,840 --> 00:55:31,600
Speaker 1: a lot of blowouts to start Sunday slate with those

1228
00:55:31,600 --> 00:55:34,359
Speaker 1: two games, Brunton forty seven in this back and forth

1229
00:55:34,360 --> 00:55:38,040
Speaker 1: affair there in Philly, and then the crazy comeback from

1230
00:55:38,040 --> 00:55:40,440
Speaker 1: the Mavericks but Harden taking over. Those were awesome two

1231
00:55:40,440 --> 00:55:43,239
Speaker 1: games to get a stolen. But we'll go to the

1232
00:55:43,239 --> 00:55:46,600
Speaker 1: third game from Sunday, and that was the Pacers hitting

1233
00:55:46,640 --> 00:55:49,120
Speaker 1: a franchise playoff best twenty two three pointers to beat

1234
00:55:49,120 --> 00:55:53,239
Speaker 1: the Bucks one twenty six, one thirteen. Milwaukee comes into

1235
00:55:53,239 --> 00:55:56,040
Speaker 1: this game obviously with Noil jana Is still then no

1236
00:55:56,160 --> 00:56:00,759
Speaker 1: Damian Lillard, he's out, Chris Middleton, he's hobbled in this

1237
00:56:00,800 --> 00:56:03,080
Speaker 1: game after I mean, we're not even probably gonna talk

1238
00:56:03,120 --> 00:56:06,080
Speaker 1: about Friday Night's incredible game between these two teams with

1239
00:56:06,120 --> 00:56:08,760
Speaker 1: Middleton hitting huge shots, but then Haliburton with the game winner,

1240
00:56:09,239 --> 00:56:12,840
Speaker 1: and then Bobby Portis junior though, gets ejected seven minutes

1241
00:56:12,840 --> 00:56:15,480
Speaker 1: into this game for getting into you know, a little

1242
00:56:15,680 --> 00:56:18,279
Speaker 1: little dust up there with Andrew Nemhard. They sort of

1243
00:56:18,280 --> 00:56:21,759
Speaker 1: exchanged shoves and then Portis, I don't know one up

1244
00:56:21,800 --> 00:56:24,080
Speaker 1: to them with a little slap to the head, got

1245
00:56:24,080 --> 00:56:27,399
Speaker 1: two techs hot Bobby to ned Mart's one and out.

1246
00:56:27,400 --> 00:56:31,239
Speaker 1: It's automatic ejection. But that did them in many That

1247
00:56:31,320 --> 00:56:32,080
Speaker 1: wasn't good.

1248
00:56:32,040 --> 00:56:34,640
Speaker 2: For exactly and he was I mean they were going

1249
00:56:34,640 --> 00:56:36,040
Speaker 2: to him a lot right at the start of the

1250
00:56:36,080 --> 00:56:37,480
Speaker 2: first quarter, so you could tell that was going to

1251
00:56:37,480 --> 00:56:39,560
Speaker 2: be a part of their game plan. Missing Giannis and

1252
00:56:39,640 --> 00:56:43,799
Speaker 2: missing Dame, they need to get offense somewhere else. Furthermore,

1253
00:56:43,960 --> 00:56:46,319
Speaker 2: like the way Portis plays, he slows the ball down

1254
00:56:46,719 --> 00:56:48,680
Speaker 2: quite a bit, so you're able to take the air

1255
00:56:48,719 --> 00:56:50,640
Speaker 2: out of the ball a little bit, which keeps the

1256
00:56:50,680 --> 00:56:54,120
Speaker 2: Pacers from their running game. But instead, yeah, he got ejected.

1257
00:56:54,160 --> 00:56:56,560
Speaker 1: Do you think it was deserved? It looked bad, yeah.

1258
00:56:56,560 --> 00:56:59,200
Speaker 2: I mean the push and the slap like both looked

1259
00:56:59,239 --> 00:57:02,600
Speaker 2: pretty vicious. And I guess they were calling text pretty

1260
00:57:02,600 --> 00:57:04,400
Speaker 2: early in this game, right, like Beverly got one for

1261
00:57:04,440 --> 00:57:06,080
Speaker 2: two small and a guy as well.

1262
00:57:06,120 --> 00:57:07,240
Speaker 3: But the Bucks they fought.

1263
00:57:07,320 --> 00:57:09,480
Speaker 2: I thought they played pretty hard and it was impressive

1264
00:57:09,600 --> 00:57:12,239
Speaker 2: that Middleton came in on a sprained ankle, sprained his

1265
00:57:12,280 --> 00:57:14,520
Speaker 2: other ankle, and then came back and still played hard.

1266
00:57:14,560 --> 00:57:17,120
Speaker 2: But like Pat Conaton was initiating the offense. I saw

1267
00:57:17,160 --> 00:57:19,959
Speaker 2: John Hollinger saying, is this the most he's dribbled since

1268
00:57:19,960 --> 00:57:22,720
Speaker 2: he got to college? Like he probably wasn't handling the

1269
00:57:22,720 --> 00:57:24,760
Speaker 2: ball all that often. You hear the horn go off,

1270
00:57:24,840 --> 00:57:26,160
Speaker 2: You're like, all right, the Bucks are bringing in a

1271
00:57:26,160 --> 00:57:29,400
Speaker 2: sub here and it's Danilo Gallinari with the mohawk. You're like,

1272
00:57:29,440 --> 00:57:31,480
Speaker 2: this guy's gonna be carrying the offense for us now.

1273
00:57:31,560 --> 00:57:33,040
Speaker 1: They just shouldn't do it.

1274
00:57:33,200 --> 00:57:35,680
Speaker 2: I do love seeing a Brook Lopez throwback game, but

1275
00:57:35,760 --> 00:57:37,280
Speaker 2: this one was kind of like a hybrid, Like when

1276
00:57:37,280 --> 00:57:39,840
Speaker 2: he torched the Hawks way back when Game five, twenty

1277
00:57:40,200 --> 00:57:42,760
Speaker 2: twenty one. I suppose it was all post moves. Had

1278
00:57:42,760 --> 00:57:45,160
Speaker 2: a lot of post moves in this one, but then

1279
00:57:45,480 --> 00:57:48,080
Speaker 2: he also hit three threes. He was playing really well.

1280
00:57:48,120 --> 00:57:50,720
Speaker 2: Middleton was okay. They just did not have enough to

1281
00:57:50,800 --> 00:57:53,000
Speaker 2: keep up with the Pacers. And Miles Turner has had

1282
00:57:53,040 --> 00:57:55,919
Speaker 2: an awesome series. Was great in this one, twenty nine points,

1283
00:57:56,040 --> 00:57:59,840
Speaker 2: nine boards, four assists, three blocks for this guy, hit seven,

1284
00:58:00,440 --> 00:58:03,200
Speaker 2: had the massive thrunk. I guess that was on Lopez

1285
00:58:03,720 --> 00:58:06,480
Speaker 2: later in the game as well. He had a pretty

1286
00:58:06,480 --> 00:58:08,920
Speaker 2: poor Game one, just looked a little bit out of sorts,

1287
00:58:08,960 --> 00:58:11,800
Speaker 2: and ever since then, he's looked really comfortable in this series.

1288
00:58:11,880 --> 00:58:14,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, over his last three playoff games, Miles Turner averaging

1289
00:58:14,800 --> 00:58:17,600
Speaker 1: twenty seven points per game, eight boards, four assists, two blocks,

1290
00:58:17,600 --> 00:58:21,760
Speaker 1: and hit fifty six percent of his threes. He's been incredible.

1291
00:58:21,920 --> 00:58:24,520
Speaker 1: If you threw out the game one that they lost,

1292
00:58:24,560 --> 00:58:27,840
Speaker 1: so in all the wins, he's been really dominant. But yeah,

1293
00:58:27,920 --> 00:58:31,080
Speaker 1: Box obviously super short handed her tasks once the lollard

1294
00:58:31,120 --> 00:58:32,640
Speaker 1: was not going to be there, and then once Bobby

1295
00:58:32,680 --> 00:58:35,480
Speaker 1: got tossed. They did put up a fight, but you know,

1296
00:58:35,520 --> 00:58:37,840
Speaker 1: Pacers got into their type of game they wanted to

1297
00:58:37,840 --> 00:58:39,400
Speaker 1: play with one hundred and twenty six points.

1298
00:58:40,040 --> 00:58:42,720
Speaker 3: That's unfortunate for Bobby. I had expectations coming into this

1299
00:58:42,760 --> 00:58:44,720
Speaker 3: series because he has looked good when Yannis has been

1300
00:58:44,760 --> 00:58:48,000
Speaker 3: out this season, because he's just the guy they give

1301
00:58:48,040 --> 00:58:50,240
Speaker 3: the ball to, especially during the regular season. It wasn't

1302
00:58:50,320 --> 00:58:54,400
Speaker 3: dame time. And to do that in the first quarter

1303
00:58:54,520 --> 00:58:57,640
Speaker 3: where he basically punched the guy he was it was

1304
00:58:58,520 --> 00:59:00,920
Speaker 3: a punch attempt. He thought Nicolin Miritic was playing on

1305
00:59:00,920 --> 00:59:03,640
Speaker 3: the other team. I guess he just threw one at Nemhart.

1306
00:59:03,880 --> 00:59:06,520
Speaker 3: That sucks. I mean, he's had a decent series before that,

1307
00:59:06,680 --> 00:59:09,120
Speaker 3: so it really does. That could have been his game.

1308
00:59:09,360 --> 00:59:11,440
Speaker 3: He had to be his game. Yeah. He again, his

1309
00:59:11,520 --> 00:59:15,000
Speaker 3: numbers were awesome with Yannis out this season, then you

1310
00:59:15,040 --> 00:59:16,320
Speaker 3: take a little of it out. He needed one of

1311
00:59:16,360 --> 00:59:20,880
Speaker 3: those games. So that's stock Nemhart who took that shot. Fine,

1312
00:59:21,160 --> 00:59:23,200
Speaker 3: he was cool. He also had a great freaking game.

1313
00:59:23,360 --> 00:59:26,000
Speaker 3: He's had a great freaking series. And I know he's

1314
00:59:26,080 --> 00:59:28,440
Speaker 3: kind of a guy that will not talk about all

1315
00:59:28,440 --> 00:59:31,240
Speaker 3: that much, but he had fifteen in this one and

1316
00:59:31,840 --> 00:59:36,800
Speaker 3: Nina sis zero turnovers. He's been good offensively in fourth

1317
00:59:36,840 --> 00:59:41,120
Speaker 3: quarter situations. He's felt good. He's been great defensively before that.

1318
00:59:41,200 --> 00:59:44,720
Speaker 3: He had sixteen twenty in the last two games. He

1319
00:59:44,760 --> 00:59:47,360
Speaker 3: shot sixty seven percent the last three games. He's been

1320
00:59:48,000 --> 00:59:51,600
Speaker 3: really good to help up and so they're deeper as

1321
00:59:51,680 --> 00:59:54,320
Speaker 3: we know, as we saw Pat Conton have to dribble

1322
00:59:54,320 --> 00:59:54,600
Speaker 3: the ball.

1323
00:59:54,640 --> 00:59:55,080
Speaker 1: It's true.

1324
00:59:55,400 --> 00:59:57,919
Speaker 3: It's true. I've never seen Pat Conton dribble all that much.

1325
00:59:58,040 --> 01:00:00,960
Speaker 1: And Doc says that this team wi not risk running

1326
01:00:00,960 --> 01:00:03,680
Speaker 1: out Giannis or Liward if they're not healthy. So who

1327
01:00:03,760 --> 01:00:05,200
Speaker 1: knows if we'll even see them in the rest of

1328
01:00:05,240 --> 01:00:07,960
Speaker 1: the series. Maybe Andy puts us away. How about that

1329
01:00:08,000 --> 01:00:10,840
Speaker 1: game through on Friday night though, oh man, crap, I

1330
01:00:10,880 --> 01:00:13,520
Speaker 1: mean that probably was the game of the entire weekend

1331
01:00:13,520 --> 01:00:16,080
Speaker 1: if you want to include Friday night. The shot making

1332
01:00:16,080 --> 01:00:19,760
Speaker 1: from both these teams. Middleton doing his best to try

1333
01:00:19,800 --> 01:00:23,000
Speaker 1: and obviously take the lead at that point, but Haliburton's

1334
01:00:23,040 --> 01:00:25,920
Speaker 1: and one where he cooked Pat Bev and he got

1335
01:00:26,040 --> 01:00:28,720
Speaker 1: hit still hit it in a game where he struggled

1336
01:00:28,720 --> 01:00:30,440
Speaker 1: from three but took over down the stretch. It was

1337
01:00:30,480 --> 01:00:31,240
Speaker 1: an awesome game.

1338
01:00:31,360 --> 01:00:33,520
Speaker 2: I thought that was such a smart thing from Rick

1339
01:00:33,560 --> 01:00:35,680
Speaker 2: Carlisle to do on that play for Haliburton, because, like

1340
01:00:35,680 --> 01:00:37,600
Speaker 2: you're saying, he was really struggling in that game, and

1341
01:00:37,840 --> 01:00:39,800
Speaker 2: he's better in a full court setting than he is

1342
01:00:39,800 --> 01:00:41,600
Speaker 2: in a half court setting. So they just inbounded the

1343
01:00:41,600 --> 01:00:42,760
Speaker 2: ball to him on the other side of the court

1344
01:00:42,800 --> 01:00:44,880
Speaker 2: and said, run as fast as you can. Bat couldn't

1345
01:00:44,920 --> 01:00:45,200
Speaker 2: keep up.

1346
01:00:45,200 --> 01:00:46,600
Speaker 3: He got crossed over twice on the same play.

1347
01:00:46,680 --> 01:00:48,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, huge shot and then Halliburton did find his

1348
01:00:48,960 --> 01:00:51,080
Speaker 1: three pointer there in game four, I think he ended

1349
01:00:51,080 --> 01:00:55,160
Speaker 1: with five from deep. But Pacers Man, Pacers are one

1350
01:00:55,200 --> 01:00:56,560
Speaker 1: game away from one of the second round. It's been

1351
01:00:56,560 --> 01:00:58,800
Speaker 1: a while since they've been in the second round, and.

1352
01:00:59,640 --> 01:01:01,919
Speaker 3: Like this could be a douchey as well, right, lost

1353
01:01:01,920 --> 01:01:02,920
Speaker 3: game one, This could.

1354
01:01:02,760 --> 01:01:05,800
Speaker 1: Be a douchebags a bit of a weird douchebag sweep

1355
01:01:05,800 --> 01:01:07,440
Speaker 1: always when injuries come into play. But it would be

1356
01:01:07,680 --> 01:01:10,320
Speaker 1: absolutely would be or could be. It could be.

1357
01:01:10,720 --> 01:01:14,120
Speaker 2: As for the Instigator Invitational, we have some updates. Yeah

1358
01:01:14,160 --> 01:01:17,360
Speaker 2: here I mentioned earlier Luka Doncic got a technical for complaining.

1359
01:01:17,560 --> 01:01:18,960
Speaker 2: Could have got a second one. If you're asking me,

1360
01:01:19,000 --> 01:01:19,720
Speaker 2: that got me a point.

1361
01:01:19,720 --> 01:01:20,680
Speaker 3: I'm up to two, okay.

1362
01:01:20,760 --> 01:01:23,480
Speaker 2: Pat Bev got a technical in this one for taunting.

1363
01:01:23,480 --> 01:01:25,680
Speaker 2: You're up to two points. And then a huge weekend

1364
01:01:25,680 --> 01:01:28,120
Speaker 2: for task had Bobby Portis on his team, so he

1365
01:01:28,160 --> 01:01:31,560
Speaker 2: gets two teas. That's two points. We just need to

1366
01:01:31,600 --> 01:01:33,680
Speaker 2: make a decision. We needed to make a decision. Yeah,

1367
01:01:33,840 --> 01:01:36,520
Speaker 2: that's three points for an ejection, So do you get

1368
01:01:36,560 --> 01:01:38,800
Speaker 2: five points right now? As in two points plus ejection

1369
01:01:38,880 --> 01:01:39,520
Speaker 2: equals five.

1370
01:01:40,720 --> 01:01:41,440
Speaker 3: It was total.

1371
01:01:42,080 --> 01:01:44,440
Speaker 2: An ejection just happens if you happen to get tossed.

1372
01:01:45,040 --> 01:01:45,280
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1373
01:01:45,400 --> 01:01:47,920
Speaker 3: I think that's getting a little too technical about the technicals.

1374
01:01:47,960 --> 01:01:50,280
Speaker 3: I think perfect perfect. We just had to clarify three,

1375
01:01:50,400 --> 01:01:53,960
Speaker 3: just three. So yeah, Skeets has a Knyang Tech and

1376
01:01:54,000 --> 01:01:56,640
Speaker 3: a Beverly Tech. Yeah, that's your two points. My three

1377
01:01:56,680 --> 01:01:59,120
Speaker 3: is the Bobby Ports three. You've got the Luca Tech

1378
01:01:59,200 --> 01:02:02,200
Speaker 3: to add to what was first one Lucae Yeah, another Luca. Yeah,

1379
01:02:02,240 --> 01:02:05,280
Speaker 3: forgot about that, Luca Luca. So it's three two two, Yes,

1380
01:02:05,840 --> 01:02:08,320
Speaker 3: get one on Friday too. I don't think so. Oh

1381
01:02:08,560 --> 01:02:09,880
Speaker 3: well then too to to two?

1382
01:02:10,360 --> 01:02:14,200
Speaker 2: No, three points for rejection, oh three total points for protection.

1383
01:02:14,440 --> 01:02:15,640
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, okay, I.

1384
01:02:15,320 --> 01:02:18,280
Speaker 5: I think I think perfect perfect. He got ejected, all right,

1385
01:02:18,360 --> 01:02:20,880
Speaker 5: I love it. No, I don't think he got it one.

1386
01:02:21,040 --> 01:02:24,200
Speaker 5: Beverly got teed up again free like you said, doing

1387
01:02:24,280 --> 01:02:26,880
Speaker 5: the two small Yeah, come on, come.

1388
01:02:26,760 --> 01:02:27,560
Speaker 3: On, that's one.

1389
01:02:27,680 --> 01:02:29,760
Speaker 2: That was a quick one, trying to keep it under wraps.

1390
01:02:29,800 --> 01:02:30,520
Speaker 2: Yeah it didn't work.

1391
01:02:30,600 --> 01:02:35,400
Speaker 1: No, it actually did the opposite. More people pitched off. Whoops.

1392
01:02:35,720 --> 01:02:37,760
Speaker 1: All right, what a race here in our instigator draft.

1393
01:02:37,760 --> 01:02:40,240
Speaker 1: I love it. Three to two. Uh, let's go to

1394
01:02:40,320 --> 01:02:42,840
Speaker 1: Franz Wagner scoring thirty four, leading the Magic to their

1395
01:02:42,880 --> 01:02:45,200
Speaker 1: second straight rout of the Calves this series, tied to

1396
01:02:45,200 --> 01:02:48,240
Speaker 1: to two. The Magic held the Calves scoreless for a

1397
01:02:48,280 --> 01:02:51,680
Speaker 1: second half stretch of almost seven minutes. But Franz was

1398
01:02:51,720 --> 01:02:52,600
Speaker 1: the story from this one.

1399
01:02:52,920 --> 01:02:53,040
Speaker 5: Uh.

1400
01:02:53,120 --> 01:02:57,400
Speaker 1: In Orlando at home, scoring hitting shots, thirty four points,

1401
01:02:57,440 --> 01:03:00,960
Speaker 1: like I said, eleven to seventeen from the floor, thirteen boards,

1402
01:03:00,960 --> 01:03:03,520
Speaker 1: four assists, one block, zero turnovers in forty minutes. And

1403
01:03:03,520 --> 01:03:07,160
Speaker 1: then you had Jonathan Isaac hitting some hitting some threes

1404
01:03:07,200 --> 01:03:10,920
Speaker 1: as well, four from him after he or Jamal Mosley

1405
01:03:11,000 --> 01:03:12,600
Speaker 1: decided to go back to him off the bench. He's

1406
01:03:12,600 --> 01:03:15,240
Speaker 1: played well in that role, better in that role. They

1407
01:03:15,240 --> 01:03:15,960
Speaker 1: didn't even need.

1408
01:03:15,800 --> 01:03:17,840
Speaker 3: A good Palo game, No, they did not.

1409
01:03:17,960 --> 01:03:20,600
Speaker 1: And their defense is just like completely shutting off the Cavs,

1410
01:03:20,680 --> 01:03:22,320
Speaker 1: who had what ten points in the third quarter.

1411
01:03:22,440 --> 01:03:24,400
Speaker 2: Calves haven't gotten to one hundred in this series yet, Yah,

1412
01:03:24,480 --> 01:03:27,160
Speaker 2: didn't get the ninety in Orlando twenty seven percent so

1413
01:03:27,200 --> 01:03:28,600
Speaker 2: far from three this series.

1414
01:03:29,240 --> 01:03:30,000
Speaker 3: That's not good.

1415
01:03:30,240 --> 01:03:33,000
Speaker 1: No, and go lucky it's two too. I guess both

1416
01:03:33,000 --> 01:03:34,920
Speaker 1: teams are looking at it like that. Yeah, exactly, it's

1417
01:03:34,960 --> 01:03:36,240
Speaker 1: like we could have swipped this by now.

1418
01:03:37,120 --> 01:03:39,520
Speaker 2: So Orlando definitely has the momentum, but I don't feel

1419
01:03:39,520 --> 01:03:42,000
Speaker 2: like I don't feel very confident about them going into

1420
01:03:42,040 --> 01:03:44,960
Speaker 2: Cleveland and playing incredibly well. But that third quarter was

1421
01:03:44,960 --> 01:03:48,200
Speaker 2: great from Orlando, thirty seven to ten on the scoreboard,

1422
01:03:48,320 --> 01:03:50,680
Speaker 2: nine assists on thirteen makes. Six of those were three,

1423
01:03:50,760 --> 01:03:54,360
Speaker 2: including two from Wendell Carter Junior, two from Jalen Suggs,

1424
01:03:54,400 --> 01:03:56,520
Speaker 2: and then Isaac hit one Franz hit one. These are

1425
01:03:56,520 --> 01:03:58,840
Speaker 2: not necessarily knock down shooters, and they were knocked down

1426
01:03:59,320 --> 01:04:03,120
Speaker 2: in that third quarter. Orlando also started forcing turnovers. Nine

1427
01:04:03,120 --> 01:04:05,560
Speaker 2: of Cleveland's fifteen turnovers came in the second half. That

1428
01:04:05,600 --> 01:04:08,960
Speaker 2: was twelve points for Orlando, easy buckets right there. Orlando

1429
01:04:09,000 --> 01:04:11,360
Speaker 2: had eleven first half turnovers that kept the game close.

1430
01:04:11,360 --> 01:04:12,560
Speaker 3: They only turned it over six.

1431
01:04:12,400 --> 01:04:14,640
Speaker 2: Times in the second half, and that actually only turned

1432
01:04:14,640 --> 01:04:17,160
Speaker 2: into three Cleveland points. Did a great job getting back

1433
01:04:17,240 --> 01:04:20,960
Speaker 2: on defense because the easiest baskets in this game are

1434
01:04:21,000 --> 01:04:23,520
Speaker 2: going to be fast breaks for either one of these teams.

1435
01:04:24,320 --> 01:04:25,600
Speaker 2: So I don't know, I don't know what I think

1436
01:04:25,640 --> 01:04:27,880
Speaker 2: going forward, because I kind of think Jamal Moseley overthought

1437
01:04:27,880 --> 01:04:30,440
Speaker 2: things coming into this series. Switched up the starting lineup

1438
01:04:30,480 --> 01:04:33,600
Speaker 2: for basically no reason, put Wendell Carter Junior to the bench.

1439
01:04:33,680 --> 01:04:36,360
Speaker 2: Jonathan Isaac starts. That has switched since they went to Orlando.

1440
01:04:36,760 --> 01:04:41,240
Speaker 2: More importantly, Jalen Suggs is now guarding Donovan Mitchell because

1441
01:04:41,240 --> 01:04:43,040
Speaker 2: you don't need him on Darius Garland right now. I

1442
01:04:43,080 --> 01:04:45,280
Speaker 2: think it's kind of freed up the offense and tightened

1443
01:04:45,320 --> 01:04:48,640
Speaker 2: up the defense both of those moves. So definitely Orlando

1444
01:04:48,720 --> 01:04:50,440
Speaker 2: is in the lead right now and Cleveland is going

1445
01:04:50,480 --> 01:04:52,400
Speaker 2: to have to get something from Darius Garland. This guy

1446
01:04:52,440 --> 01:04:54,760
Speaker 2: has been invisible in this series. He scored the first

1447
01:04:54,760 --> 01:04:58,560
Speaker 2: two baskets for Cleveland in Game four, since then or

1448
01:04:58,600 --> 01:04:59,720
Speaker 2: after that, he went three for nine.

1449
01:05:00,760 --> 01:05:01,360
Speaker 3: You don't even.

1450
01:05:01,280 --> 01:05:03,000
Speaker 2: Feel him out there, No, and he doesn't, and he

1451
01:05:03,040 --> 01:05:05,000
Speaker 2: has the more favorable matchup at this point.

1452
01:05:05,600 --> 01:05:07,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think that's probably where the Cavs season

1453
01:05:08,000 --> 01:05:10,400
Speaker 3: hurt in a way, because he didn't get to play

1454
01:05:10,400 --> 01:05:12,080
Speaker 3: with Donovid Mitchell all that much to get used to it.

1455
01:05:12,120 --> 01:05:14,240
Speaker 3: Because he was hurt along with them mobily when they

1456
01:05:14,280 --> 01:05:17,120
Speaker 3: did their Donald Mitchell at the point guard spot and

1457
01:05:17,200 --> 01:05:20,320
Speaker 3: three shooters around him, including you know, Dean Wade and

1458
01:05:21,000 --> 01:05:23,720
Speaker 3: Max Struz and Georgie Yank the guys who were just

1459
01:05:23,960 --> 01:05:26,040
Speaker 3: able to let it flow. So he didn't get comfortable.

1460
01:05:26,080 --> 01:05:28,320
Speaker 3: He just hasn't looked like himself in all. I am

1461
01:05:28,320 --> 01:05:30,720
Speaker 3: a little surprised that Donovid Mitchell just kind of went

1462
01:05:30,760 --> 01:05:32,560
Speaker 3: away in the third quarter of this game, because they

1463
01:05:32,560 --> 01:05:35,800
Speaker 3: were up nine and a half and things were looking fine.

1464
01:05:35,840 --> 01:05:39,840
Speaker 3: But then Orlando, including Jalen Suggs, who was all over him.

1465
01:05:39,840 --> 01:05:44,040
Speaker 3: He was all over Donald Mitchell and that helped energize

1466
01:05:44,080 --> 01:05:47,160
Speaker 3: the rest of his defense that didn't allow an offensive

1467
01:05:47,240 --> 01:05:51,280
Speaker 3: board to their Bigs and Mobili and Jared Allen during

1468
01:05:51,280 --> 01:05:54,640
Speaker 3: that stretch because they were missing every shot. I thought, Okay,

1469
01:05:54,760 --> 01:05:56,680
Speaker 3: the big boys will go and grab one, but they

1470
01:05:56,680 --> 01:06:00,280
Speaker 3: could not because the Magic Big Boys were playing extremely well.

1471
01:06:00,280 --> 01:06:02,200
Speaker 3: And then at the other end, you mentioned all the

1472
01:06:02,560 --> 01:06:06,120
Speaker 3: shots that came from Suggs and Wendell Carter who's chipping in.

1473
01:06:06,680 --> 01:06:09,520
Speaker 3: But they got physical and they got the crowd going

1474
01:06:09,600 --> 01:06:11,640
Speaker 3: at home, So I guess it will be a different

1475
01:06:11,680 --> 01:06:12,720
Speaker 3: story in Cleveland.

1476
01:06:13,080 --> 01:06:16,280
Speaker 1: But so they haven't scored in Cleveland yet. They were

1477
01:06:16,440 --> 01:06:20,200
Speaker 1: absolutely atrocious. Will Ben Carrol have a big game five

1478
01:06:20,360 --> 01:06:22,240
Speaker 1: or can Franz keep it going? I thought he like

1479
01:06:22,280 --> 01:06:25,800
Speaker 1: he looked horrible in Cleveland. I was ridiculing here him

1480
01:06:25,960 --> 01:06:28,200
Speaker 1: on the show, like he's got no idea when he drives,

1481
01:06:28,200 --> 01:06:29,640
Speaker 1: he doesn't know what he's doing. He's just flipping it

1482
01:06:29,720 --> 01:06:31,760
Speaker 1: up and he's looking for fouls and he sometimes will

1483
01:06:31,760 --> 01:06:33,960
Speaker 1: get a whistle. But he was awesome in Orlando, like

1484
01:06:34,120 --> 01:06:37,280
Speaker 1: so much more under control. He was obviously could you

1485
01:06:37,320 --> 01:06:39,480
Speaker 1: could tell he was like feeling himself. He dropped Niang

1486
01:06:39,480 --> 01:06:41,480
Speaker 1: at one point after that spin move and score. He's

1487
01:06:41,520 --> 01:06:43,640
Speaker 1: pointing at him, and he got the entire Magic bench

1488
01:06:44,080 --> 01:06:46,200
Speaker 1: pointing at Niang, And I'm like, yeah, come on, Niang,

1489
01:06:46,240 --> 01:06:48,720
Speaker 1: get angry, go punch somebody. I need the points in

1490
01:06:48,760 --> 01:06:52,080
Speaker 1: the Instigator draft. But yeah, we'll just see if which team.

1491
01:06:52,360 --> 01:06:54,400
Speaker 1: You know, this series hasn't started, is what I'm getting

1492
01:06:54,440 --> 01:06:57,560
Speaker 1: at that. Right until the Road Team wins, the series

1493
01:06:57,600 --> 01:07:00,720
Speaker 1: hasn't started, so who knows what to expect. But it's

1494
01:07:00,760 --> 01:07:04,560
Speaker 1: gonna be generally gonna be a slog fest with these

1495
01:07:04,560 --> 01:07:07,240
Speaker 1: squads and how they go about it. Their their defense

1496
01:07:07,360 --> 01:07:09,240
Speaker 1: is good, you know, on both sides for the most part,

1497
01:07:09,800 --> 01:07:12,880
Speaker 1: and offensively they struggle at times. That's what I'm oddly

1498
01:07:12,960 --> 01:07:15,400
Speaker 1: liking this series. At times. I like that least that

1499
01:07:15,480 --> 01:07:18,040
Speaker 1: they got the Magic got back into it here. Yeah, definitely, Yeah,

1500
01:07:18,080 --> 01:07:20,920
Speaker 1: and who knows what to expect. Final one just quickly

1501
01:07:20,960 --> 01:07:25,040
Speaker 1: Celtics lead wire to wire in Miami, roll past the

1502
01:07:25,040 --> 01:07:27,520
Speaker 1: Heat one o four to eighty four. This is what

1503
01:07:27,520 --> 01:07:29,520
Speaker 1: we expected, a little bounce back game after that Game

1504
01:07:29,520 --> 01:07:34,080
Speaker 1: two loss and porzingis after an awful game two eighteen points,

1505
01:07:34,160 --> 01:07:37,040
Speaker 1: five boards, two blocks, three of five from deep. I

1506
01:07:37,080 --> 01:07:39,800
Speaker 1: thought the Celtics made a pretty active effort to like

1507
01:07:40,040 --> 01:07:43,360
Speaker 1: get him involved early and often, and Heat bounced back

1508
01:07:43,400 --> 01:07:46,320
Speaker 1: and they just locked in defensively too, like really sort

1509
01:07:46,320 --> 01:07:49,520
Speaker 1: of took out Tyler Hero who had a fourteen assists

1510
01:07:49,520 --> 01:07:51,680
Speaker 1: in game two and he only had two assists in

1511
01:07:51,680 --> 01:07:52,880
Speaker 1: this game and shot five to sixteen.

1512
01:07:53,040 --> 01:07:54,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Heat were trying to open up those three

1513
01:07:54,920 --> 01:07:57,040
Speaker 3: point shooters with a lot of screens, but the Celtics

1514
01:07:57,080 --> 01:07:59,920
Speaker 3: were fighting through them. They were already and seeing Jason

1515
01:08:00,240 --> 01:08:03,720
Speaker 3: guard Tyler here at times was refreshing and something that

1516
01:08:03,760 --> 01:08:05,400
Speaker 3: you want your best player to be able to do.

1517
01:08:05,840 --> 01:08:08,680
Speaker 3: So that's got to be an inspiration for their team.

1518
01:08:09,000 --> 01:08:12,200
Speaker 3: And they kept getting points after points after forcing the

1519
01:08:12,200 --> 01:08:14,120
Speaker 3: Heat to turn it over. They had nineteen points off

1520
01:08:14,240 --> 01:08:17,479
Speaker 3: turnovers in the first half. So yeah, they turned those

1521
01:08:17,520 --> 01:08:20,920
Speaker 3: twenty three threes for the heat in game number three

1522
01:08:21,200 --> 01:08:24,400
Speaker 3: to just nine in game number four, so that it

1523
01:08:24,479 --> 01:08:27,000
Speaker 3: was a big three. Yeah, sorry, but yeah, I took

1524
01:08:27,000 --> 01:08:29,519
Speaker 3: a chance. I took a chance. Yeah, I took a

1525
01:08:29,600 --> 01:08:33,080
Speaker 3: chance there. It didn't feel right saying game three. But yeah,

1526
01:08:33,120 --> 01:08:35,680
Speaker 3: they also why would I take a chance when I

1527
01:08:35,760 --> 01:08:38,000
Speaker 3: knew this here that Kristaps Porzenis has been awesome in

1528
01:08:38,000 --> 01:08:41,800
Speaker 3: games one and games three. Now they confident Porzenis was back.

1529
01:08:41,840 --> 01:08:44,160
Speaker 3: He was just ripping three point attempts in game one,

1530
01:08:44,560 --> 01:08:47,120
Speaker 3: he ripped eight from deep. He just was feeling good.

1531
01:08:47,120 --> 01:08:48,840
Speaker 3: Eighteen points, and then he just made one shot in

1532
01:08:48,840 --> 01:08:51,479
Speaker 3: game two and then he was back. He scored those

1533
01:08:51,520 --> 01:08:54,600
Speaker 3: first eight points and had eighteen overall, two steals in

1534
01:08:54,600 --> 01:08:56,920
Speaker 3: a block. Also the Derek White show. I thought Derek

1535
01:08:56,920 --> 01:09:00,080
Speaker 3: White was just good in that second quarter when he

1536
01:09:00,080 --> 01:09:02,280
Speaker 3: had twelve points over that four minute stretch where he

1537
01:09:02,360 --> 01:09:04,680
Speaker 3: was just going for that beautiful put back dunk on

1538
01:09:04,680 --> 01:09:07,880
Speaker 3: a free throw. He had a great game everything. You know.

1539
01:09:08,040 --> 01:09:10,800
Speaker 3: That's that's this team with Jason Tatum and Jaylen Brown,

1540
01:09:11,000 --> 01:09:13,639
Speaker 3: you just need guys to fill in and Derek White

1541
01:09:13,640 --> 01:09:16,360
Speaker 3: fills in and Porzingis was great. This was a game

1542
01:09:16,479 --> 01:09:19,360
Speaker 3: I enjoyed too, even though it was a spanker because

1543
01:09:19,560 --> 01:09:22,479
Speaker 3: you got that interview from Jimmy Butler in the middle

1544
01:09:22,520 --> 01:09:24,920
Speaker 3: of the first quarter. What are we watching here? Where

1545
01:09:24,920 --> 01:09:27,080
Speaker 3: do you get an interview? Obviously he's not playing, so

1546
01:09:27,080 --> 01:09:29,200
Speaker 3: it was different, but Chris Haane's interviewing him, and then

1547
01:09:29,280 --> 01:09:31,960
Speaker 3: Jalen Brown got interviewed at the end of the first quarter.

1548
01:09:32,280 --> 01:09:33,920
Speaker 3: I mean, it felt like a different sport. And it

1549
01:09:33,960 --> 01:09:37,000
Speaker 3: feels like, yeah, there's like the F one or no,

1550
01:09:37,200 --> 01:09:40,559
Speaker 3: that F one doesn't interview drivers, but it just felt like.

1551
01:09:40,680 --> 01:09:42,679
Speaker 1: I talked to them in the car. I mean, yeah,

1552
01:09:42,720 --> 01:09:43,760
Speaker 1: that show always wired up.

1553
01:09:43,880 --> 01:09:50,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, it just felt like box Box, that's the times

1554
01:09:50,280 --> 01:09:53,680
Speaker 3: of Going, That's lits Hamilton. That was good.

1555
01:09:54,479 --> 01:09:57,280
Speaker 1: Pantown Boys locked in early here. They let up three

1556
01:09:57,320 --> 01:09:58,920
Speaker 1: points in the first six and a half minutes of

1557
01:09:58,960 --> 01:10:01,800
Speaker 1: this game. Heat had twelve points in the first quarter.

1558
01:10:02,040 --> 01:10:04,400
Speaker 1: I mean they only scored eighty four points. That's the

1559
01:10:04,439 --> 01:10:06,240
Speaker 1: fewest in the game all season. So yeah, beat down

1560
01:10:06,280 --> 01:10:10,439
Speaker 1: Boys got to it defensively, really more committed to taking

1561
01:10:10,439 --> 01:10:14,080
Speaker 1: away the three pointers, cutting off Tyler Hero and what

1562
01:10:14,240 --> 01:10:16,800
Speaker 1: we expected them to do here after that game two loss.

1563
01:10:16,840 --> 01:10:17,760
Speaker 1: But they're only up tow to one.

1564
01:10:18,600 --> 01:10:20,760
Speaker 3: It's only two one. It's only two one, right, that's.

1565
01:10:20,720 --> 01:10:23,080
Speaker 1: Right, what they got Game four tonight? All right, we

1566
01:10:23,160 --> 01:10:25,599
Speaker 1: did it all. Any other thoughts, any other plays, any

1567
01:10:25,640 --> 01:10:28,160
Speaker 1: other random moments from any of those games that you

1568
01:10:28,240 --> 01:10:30,800
Speaker 1: wanted to touch on, No, we did it all.

1569
01:10:30,920 --> 01:10:34,160
Speaker 3: Well, there's no there's notes. There's plenty of notes. I

1570
01:10:34,200 --> 01:10:36,040
Speaker 3: will just say there at the end of the third

1571
01:10:36,120 --> 01:10:40,800
Speaker 3: quarter in the Boston Miami game, no interview, no Eric

1572
01:10:40,840 --> 01:10:43,639
Speaker 3: spolstory interview. I assume he was because they're getting crushed,

1573
01:10:43,640 --> 01:10:46,080
Speaker 3: they're getting smacked. Yeah, did he even get asked? I

1574
01:10:46,160 --> 01:10:48,439
Speaker 3: think the rule is we have talked about this before.

1575
01:10:48,479 --> 01:10:50,360
Speaker 3: If they're plus twenty five, you don't do it. I

1576
01:10:50,400 --> 01:10:53,439
Speaker 3: think so, yeah, because why would you even ask him? Well,

1577
01:10:53,479 --> 01:10:55,720
Speaker 3: what are you gonna ask? What the hell are you

1578
01:10:55,760 --> 01:10:59,240
Speaker 3: guys doing? Why are you down? What is the question?

1579
01:11:01,560 --> 01:11:02,840
Speaker 1: You don't talk to him at that point? I mean,

1580
01:11:02,880 --> 01:11:05,160
Speaker 1: we shouldn't even be talking to him at all because

1581
01:11:05,200 --> 01:11:07,479
Speaker 1: we're not really getting much usually. But yeah, you just

1582
01:11:07,520 --> 01:11:09,559
Speaker 1: pass on that one. I was happy for this blowout

1583
01:11:09,560 --> 01:11:11,640
Speaker 1: because it was like, oh, okay, here's one half we

1584
01:11:11,680 --> 01:11:14,600
Speaker 1: don't really have to focus on all that much on

1585
01:11:14,720 --> 01:11:17,519
Speaker 1: the Saturday there. All right, let's uh before we go,

1586
01:11:17,680 --> 01:11:18,840
Speaker 1: get to tweet of the night.

1587
01:11:21,000 --> 01:11:22,000
Speaker 3: Tweet of the night.

1588
01:11:22,800 --> 01:11:28,559
Speaker 1: Wow, Well, tweet of the night comes from at highlight

Speaker 1: her and you see Trey Kirby rock in the jersey here.

1590
01:11:31,680 --> 01:11:38,280
Speaker 1: Candace Parker retires after sixteen seasons, three time WNBA Champion,

1591
01:11:38,360 --> 01:11:43,080
Speaker 1: two time WNBA MVP, seven time WNBA All Star one

1592
01:11:43,160 --> 01:11:46,479
Speaker 1: Finals MVP, was Rookie of the Year. I mean, what

1593
01:11:46,600 --> 01:11:48,519
Speaker 1: a career. As they add there on the tweet, you

1594
01:11:48,560 --> 01:11:51,439
Speaker 1: could also add two time NC DOUBLEA champion, two time

1595
01:11:51,520 --> 01:11:55,920
Speaker 1: Olympic gold medalist, and Candace did have a big caption

1596
01:11:56,160 --> 01:12:00,240
Speaker 1: on Instagram that said, I'm retiring. I promised I'd never

1597
01:12:00,360 --> 01:12:02,080
Speaker 1: cheat the game and that I'd leave it in a

1598
01:12:02,120 --> 01:12:04,519
Speaker 1: better place than I came into it. The competitor in

1599
01:12:04,600 --> 01:12:06,680
Speaker 1: me always wants one more, but it's my time. My

1600
01:12:06,840 --> 01:12:09,000
Speaker 1: heart and body knew, but I needed to give my

1601
01:12:09,160 --> 01:12:11,439
Speaker 1: mind some time to accept it and a lot more

1602
01:12:11,520 --> 01:12:14,599
Speaker 1: to say. It was a really great post. But Kennas Parker,

1603
01:12:14,960 --> 01:12:15,599
Speaker 1: one of the goats.

1604
01:12:15,960 --> 01:12:18,080
Speaker 2: That's my goat right there, that's your goat for goat

1605
01:12:18,160 --> 01:12:20,640
Speaker 2: for sure got me into women's basketball. She was I

1606
01:12:20,720 --> 01:12:24,120
Speaker 2: guess probably playing in high school when I was in college,

1607
01:12:24,160 --> 01:12:27,720
Speaker 2: and her high school was like five minute drive from

1608
01:12:27,960 --> 01:12:31,320
Speaker 2: her college, and she was dunking in high school. Incredible stuff.

1609
01:12:31,360 --> 01:12:33,639
Speaker 2: She won the dunk contest when she was in high

1610
01:12:33,640 --> 01:12:35,200
Speaker 2: school over Josh Smith and j R.

1611
01:12:35,240 --> 01:12:39,320
Speaker 3: Smith. Unbelievable, Holy crap, that's amazing. I mean, Graton on

1612
01:12:39,360 --> 01:12:41,680
Speaker 3: a curve and for being of course, we're still very

1613
01:12:41,880 --> 01:12:42,439
Speaker 3: very cool.

1614
01:12:43,000 --> 01:12:46,000
Speaker 2: She brought a title in the Chicago first one first

1615
01:12:46,080 --> 01:12:48,760
Speaker 2: basketball title since nineteen ninety eight and twenty twenty.

1616
01:12:48,560 --> 01:12:51,559
Speaker 3: One, and she was just just an incredible player to watch.

1617
01:12:51,800 --> 01:12:53,960
Speaker 2: Too bad her career is kind of ending on an

1618
01:12:54,040 --> 01:12:56,360
Speaker 2: injury that she's something without the Aces last season, I'm

1619
01:12:56,360 --> 01:12:59,000
Speaker 2: sure she would have liked to go out contributing to

1620
01:12:59,040 --> 01:13:02,680
Speaker 2: the title that they won last season, but just means

1621
01:13:02,720 --> 01:13:04,360
Speaker 2: we're gonna be listening to her on broadcast and she's

1622
01:13:04,520 --> 01:13:06,519
Speaker 2: great as an analyst as well.

1623
01:13:07,360 --> 01:13:09,160
Speaker 3: She played for a long time, you know when she

1624
01:13:09,439 --> 01:13:11,360
Speaker 3: she wrote in the caption, I'm grateful that for six

1625
01:13:11,400 --> 01:13:13,640
Speaker 3: and years I played a game for a living. And

1626
01:13:13,880 --> 01:13:16,760
Speaker 3: despite all the injuries, I hope she played, you know

1627
01:13:16,920 --> 01:13:20,120
Speaker 3: every single time, fighting through all those injuries and the

1628
01:13:20,200 --> 01:13:24,280
Speaker 3: caption was great. Also, first woman to dunk in an

1629
01:13:24,360 --> 01:13:27,360
Speaker 3: NCAA game, so that's a pretty cool She didn't say that.

1630
01:13:27,640 --> 01:13:29,200
Speaker 3: I had to throw that in there. But the part

1631
01:13:29,240 --> 01:13:32,439
Speaker 3: that I found so interesting, she didn't want to say

1632
01:13:32,479 --> 01:13:35,880
Speaker 3: she was retiring before the season to have, you know,

1633
01:13:36,000 --> 01:13:39,360
Speaker 3: all the accolades and all that, everybody giving her an honor.

1634
01:13:39,439 --> 01:13:42,400
Speaker 3: She just wanted to be humble about it. Tim duncan esh,

1635
01:13:42,960 --> 01:13:46,160
Speaker 3: you know that type of thing. And then this part

1636
01:13:46,360 --> 01:13:49,880
Speaker 3: when she mentions her future that she said, I'm a

1637
01:13:49,920 --> 01:13:52,320
Speaker 3: business man, not a businessman. This is the beginning. I'm

1638
01:13:52,320 --> 01:13:55,320
Speaker 3: attacking business, private equity ownership. I will own both an

1639
01:13:55,520 --> 01:13:59,920
Speaker 3: NBA team and w NBA team. I just dropped my phone.

1640
01:14:00,120 --> 01:14:02,439
Speaker 3: You're gonna own it NBA team and WNBA team.

1641
01:14:02,880 --> 01:14:04,400
Speaker 1: Wow, should probably be a part of it.

1642
01:14:04,640 --> 01:14:06,840
Speaker 3: She didn't. She didn't write that for no reason. Nope,

1643
01:14:06,880 --> 01:14:07,519
Speaker 3: she's got a plan.

1644
01:14:08,040 --> 01:14:10,839
