Speaker 1: Well, well, well we are back. The playoffs are the

2
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:09,320
Speaker 1: best they've ever been. In my opinion, I am still

3
00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:12,239
Speaker 1: coming in off the high of a Celtics loss. I

4
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:15,840
Speaker 1: answered the question what feels better six Ers win or

5
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:16,720
Speaker 1: Celtic's loss.

6
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:19,279
Speaker 2: Yes, Celtics loss.

7
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:22,840
Speaker 1: For me, because yeah, I felt real good after that.

8
00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:27,200
Speaker 1: It's been an amazing playoffs. Lebron, a d Jimmy Butler.

Speaker 5: My squad's got a good game five, So that's all

24
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 5: I'm focused.

25
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 4: Well that in the Derby.

26
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 5: The Kentucky Derby's coming up too, so that's part of

27
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:20,679
Speaker 5: my job for FanDuel TV. But that and of course

28
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:23,120
Speaker 5: getting ready for this game five, messing with the Warriors

29
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:23,680
Speaker 5: and the Kings.

30
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:24,479
Speaker 4: I'm gready.

31
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:25,959
Speaker 1: Do you go to the Kentucky Derby?

32
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:26,320
Speaker 2: No?

33
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:28,680
Speaker 5: Not this year. I've done this so many times.

34
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 4: I opted out.

35
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 2: You're over. It's pretty great about that.

36
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 5: I opted back to stay in the studios in Los Angeles, California,

37
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:36,040
Speaker 5: and my colleagues they all hit the road near in

38
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:37,680
Speaker 5: Kentucky right now, getting ready for everything.

39
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 1: Oh man, little blast. Well, it has to be an

40
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 1: exciting time to be a Kings fan, just overall feelings.

41
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 1: I mean, also maybe a pessimistic time. I don't know,

42
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 1: how are you feeling ahead of Game five, which is

43
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 1: happening tonight as we're recording this, so listeners will know

44
00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 1: what happened in Game five? We do not, but you know,

45
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 1: obviously dearon Fox with a broken finger, bummer, but he's

46
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 1: going to play. He's gonna gut through it. How are

47
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 1: you feeling?

48
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:08,080
Speaker 4: Not good?

49
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 1: All right? Uh?

50
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 5: Because look, everybody in Sacramento has deep insecurities, and I

51
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,359
Speaker 5: think that you can see that in the social media

52
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 5: activity from every single fan, every single analyst, anybody who's

53
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 5: got anything to do with this team. We know that

54
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 5: we've never won anything, and in order for people to

55
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 5: respect us, we have to win something.

56
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:33,359
Speaker 1: So it starts here.

57
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 4: So we needed to take the three one lead. We

58
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 4: had to do that.

59
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 5: We needed to sweep this team. To be honest with you,

60
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 5: if we really wanted it to be a factor, we

61
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 5: needed to sweep this team. And now that we have not,

62
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 5: we are in trouble. And then we got our point

63
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 5: guard with his tip of his left finger like, come on, man, like,

64
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 5: are you serious?

65
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 1: Sports gods?

66
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 5: Really y'all want to do this to us right now?

67
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 1: Come on, man, now, it sounds like you're mad at

68
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 1: the sports gods, as opposed to Stephen A. Smith, who

69
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 1: seems to get mad at the players who get injured.

70
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 6: It seems to be his approach where he's just like,

71
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 6: Kawhi is a disgrace. Ad ad La will never forgive

72
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 6: him if he gets injured in this playoff.

73
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 5: He's kind of got a point about some of that,

74
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 5: in the sense that these are these especially those two

75
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 5: players you talk about ad and Kawhi. Man I love

76
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,919
Speaker 5: Kawhi because he's just so under the radar, but these

77
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 5: are two marquee players who, with all due respect, you

78
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 5: can't count.

79
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 4: On when you need them.

80
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 2: Like what is that.

81
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,800
Speaker 5: Like, so I get what he's saying, but it's pretty

82
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 5: tough to put it back the onus back on the player,

83
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 5: like they don't have.

84
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 2: The heart, they don't have crime.

85
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 4: Just well, stuff's just not working out for them. It's tough.

86
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 4: That's exactly where I would even go with this. It's like, yeah,

87
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 4: it's one thing to point out the fact that they're

88
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 4: not available. It's a whole other thing to say like, oh,

89
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 4: you piece of junk, you know, or make it sound

90
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 4: like that, Yeah.

91
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 5: That's not cool at all, because we know whys got

92
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 5: heart and we know he's got that dog in him,

93
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 5: as they say, we know that, dude, Yeah it's around.

94
00:03:57,640 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 5: So if he can't go, man, there must be something

95
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 5: really going on. But then again, we got the problem

96
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 5: of dealing with the legacy of Kobe, and so we

97
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 5: saw a guy like Kobe play through whatever, right and

98
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying, it didn't matter what was

99
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 5: happening with Kobe. He's like, oh no, I'm playing, this

100
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 5: is happening right now. I'm like, so we're trying to

101
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:16,920
Speaker 5: measure all these other great players up to that, and

102
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 5: that's impossible.

103
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 4: There's no way that anytime we are trying to compare.

104
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:24,920
Speaker 4: You know, anybody that's all time at something, if you know,

105
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 4: and he would have been all time, you know, not

106
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 4: just on the court, but at specifically playing through pain.

107
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:32,359
Speaker 4: It's going to be difficult to compare. It really is.

108
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, absolutely, But I feel like Darreon Fox is

109
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 5: he's a really special He's really really special, and people

110
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 5: don't understand what it feels like for these young players

111
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 5: at the age of twenty one twenty two to be

112
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 5: quote unquote handed the keys to a franchise and then

113
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 5: have the confidence to look in the mirror and look

114
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 5: at that owner's face and be like, I got you,

115
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 5: let's go, and then to take you there. Man, Can

116
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 5: you imagine what that's like as a young person, the

117
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,480
Speaker 5: confidence that's like Darren Fox took those keys from the

118
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 5: VEC round of Dvans and I got you, boss, let's go.

119
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:08,920
Speaker 5: And then four or five years later, here we are

120
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:11,160
Speaker 5: and he had to make a lot of improvements. I

121
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 5: have to say one personal thing about the Aaron Fox that.

122
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 3: I really really like.

123
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 5: Two seasons ago on social media, we were talking myself

124
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 5: my friends in Sacramento who do radio with the Kings,

125
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 5: and I was saying look, I just need one thing

126
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 5: from my point guard. I need my point guard to

127
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 5: make his free throws in the fourth quarter.

128
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 4: That would be great. That was my tweet.

129
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:32,040
Speaker 5: The Aaron Fox came through and liked that tweet, and

130
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 5: I was like, that dude right there knows exactly what's

131
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 5: supposed to happen. He knows exactly what his responsibility is.

132
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 5: He didn't shy away from that. He didn't send some

133
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 5: comment to me. He just liked that tweet. I think

134
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 5: he just kind of recorded the fact that he needed

135
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 5: to do that. I wasn't being personal. I wasn't talking

136
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 5: about his mama. I wasn't talking about his family. I

137
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 5: wasn't talk about nothing but him making free throws in

138
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:53,359
Speaker 5: the fourth quarter as the point guard. That was it,

139
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 5: And I was like, you know what, Okay, he knows

140
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 5: what's happening. He knows what he needs to do.

141
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right. Well, before we get to the Western Conference,

142
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:06,719
Speaker 1: the Eastern Conference has been entertaining unpredictable this week. Let's

143
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:11,159
Speaker 1: check in Keap Bucks. Giannis has missed a couple games,

144
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 1: missed Game two and Milwaukee was able to win it,

145
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:19,479
Speaker 1: but then up to one. Jimmy Butler comes through in

146
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 1: Game four, puts up twenty four in the first half.

147
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 1: This game, Yannis is back, and I'm gonna say this

148
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:30,159
Speaker 1: is maybe the best individual performance in a playoff game

149
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:36,040
Speaker 1: I've seen since either Yiannis against the Suns in the finals,

150
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 1: or maybe even Lebron against the Celtics that one year

151
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,719
Speaker 1: where he just came in, like completely locked in, came

152
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 1: into Boston and just twenty twelve kind of assassinated them.

153
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:50,719
Speaker 1: But I don't know, it was really like a singular

154
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:55,359
Speaker 1: experience watching him in that fourth quarter where the Bucks

155
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:59,039
Speaker 1: knew what was happening, He knew what was happening. He

156
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 1: was the only person he just fully put his team

157
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 1: on his back. And there's something that like did you

158
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 1: see the postgame interview where the sideline reporter was like, why,

159
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 1: how do you make it look so easy? And he

160
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 1: was like, it's not easy. Yeah, he doesn't make it

161
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 1: look easy. He makes it look hard. And that's what's

162
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 1: like crazy is he always looks like I don't know,

163
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 1: it reminds me of how im fast and furious when

164
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 1: Vin Diesel like appears to just be like driving harder

165
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 1: than the other person, Like he's just like.

166
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 2: Flexing, like holding the wheel and then he.

167
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 1: Just like presses the like like it's like the harder

168
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 1: you press the pedal, the faster the car goes. But

169
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 1: like that's what Jimmy Butler actually feels like. It feels

170
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 1: like he is playing like he's just decided, like, all right,

171
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 1: I have twenty extra percent to give and I'm going

172
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 1: to try that much harder to make it go in.

173
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 1: And he looks like he's using every last cell of

174
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 1: energy in his body. But it's just never been as

175
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 1: effective as it was in a game that Like, I

176
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 1: don't think anybody thought they were gonna win. They were,

177
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 1: they were down, and then suddenly they were up one.

178
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 4: So look, I'm gonna be completely honest with you. When

179
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 4: I heard that quote, I thought, well, how the heck

180
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 4: is that possible? Like not, you know, not that it

181
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 4: you know, not that he makes it like the impossible happen,

182
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 4: But it very much looks like he's working and grinding

183
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:28,239
Speaker 4: for each one like he's basketball Tupac. Remember how Tupac

184
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 4: like in every lyric, it's just like.

185
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 2: Felt intent.

186
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 4: You felt like Pa could just be coming on the

187
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:37,680
Speaker 4: on the track with a regular thing, but it just

188
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 4: felt a little different. That's how it feels for Jimmy

189
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 4: with me when I'm watching him, especially in the postseason.

190
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:45,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, probably looks that way because he's doing it by himself.

191
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:50,079
Speaker 4: Yeah Yeah, it looks hard for sure. Man.

192
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 1: So we were looking at the history of three to

193
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 1: one comebacks in NBA playoffs. There hasn't been any since

194
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 1: the Bubble. I don't think where the Nuggets did it twice,

195
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 1: but it's pretty rare. And yet I feel like we're

196
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:07,680
Speaker 1: about to get a three to one comeback. As much

197
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 1: as I wish it was the Hawks, It's probably not

198
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:12,559
Speaker 1: gonna be the Hawks, but I could really see Milwaukee

199
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:15,439
Speaker 1: coming back from this. This reminds me of last season's

200
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 1: heat Celtic's Eastern Conference Finals, where it felt like Jimmy

201
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 1: Butler was the only person who could like really do

202
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 1: anything in that and like he only had a finite

203
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 1: amount of energy and intensity to give and he just

204
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 1: like kind of saved it all for the very end

205
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 1: of Game seven, and it just like wasn't enough. It

206
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 1: was like two inches short of being enough. I just

207
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 1: wonder if he's gonna have another game like that in him,

208
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 1: And if he doesn't, then how do they beat Milwaukee?

209
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 1: And again, they might have already and did the series

210
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:50,679
Speaker 1: by the time people are listening to this. But I

211
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:54,199
Speaker 1: just I don't feel like it's wild. They are up

212
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 1: three to one and twelve point underdogs tonight.

213
00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 4: That's unheard of.

214
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the Heat series.

215
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 2: No big deal.

216
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,720
Speaker 1: Just one of the best performances I've ever seen from

217
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 1: an individual player in the history of the NBA Knicks Cavs. Again,

218
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 1: I have no idea what's going to happen in this series.

219
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 1: What we did. We've delayed the recording this week and

220
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:19,199
Speaker 1: the day that we chose to record on has four

221
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 1: playoff games that are all close out games except for

222
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 1: except for the Kings series. So three three of the

223
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 1: four close that games. So basketball gods, Well.

224
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 4: Let me let me ask this. You know, to the

225
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:31,840
Speaker 4: point that you've been making, Jack, if we were to

226
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 4: pick a series that we could see the team coming

227
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 4: back from three to one, I hear you when you

228
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:38,440
Speaker 4: say it's probably not going to be the Subjects. But

229
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:41,560
Speaker 4: you know, as as funny as it seems, they being

230
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 4: the Hawks, you know they're the one team that has

231
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:45,560
Speaker 4: at least started to reverse course. You know they're down

232
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 4: three to two. But Ken, I'm interested in your opinion.

233
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 4: Do you think any of the other three one series

234
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 4: that the team that's behind has a chance.

235
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,199
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, obviously in Milwaukee, they definitely have a

236
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 3: chance to turn that around. That's the only twelve yeah,

237
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 3: else WHENNA be, Milwaukee's the only thing. Milwaukee's the only team.

238
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 3: I feel like they can turn that around because of

239
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:07,200
Speaker 3: the just the way that team plays, and of course

240
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:09,560
Speaker 3: the presidence of Joanna. If he's ready to go and

241
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 3: get the things going in his direction, meaning he's dominating

242
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 3: down there low, he's athletic and moving around, I think

243
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:18,440
Speaker 3: Minnesota can turn I mean, Milwaukee's use me could turn

244
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 3: that thing around entirely because they've got that championship DNA.

245
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:23,320
Speaker 3: Everybody else I really don't know. And I gotta be

246
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:27,239
Speaker 3: honest with you. I do not pay attention to anybody

247
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 3: else except the Sacramento King. I'm the opposite of the

248
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 3: national media, So the national media pays attention to everybody

249
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 3: plus the King. I pay attention to the King and

250
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 3: nobody else. I don't care about nobody diding fifty points

251
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:41,719
Speaker 3: in the playoffs if your team doesn't win the championship.

252
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:46,320
Speaker 4: So it's Ring or Bust or Sacramento or bust got it?

253
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, right, like Jimmy Buckets can get fifty poet team

254
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,080
Speaker 3: while he wants to when they're gonna win a championship

255
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:52,560
Speaker 3: in Miami with him, what are they gonna have?

256
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 4: So I'm was like, oh, man.

257
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:58,200
Speaker 1: Out right this year, but we'll no, Well, they got

258
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:05,080
Speaker 1: their second best score is as a broken hands. So yeah,

259
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 1: Nick's Calves. I mean, my friends who are Cavs fans

260
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:10,719
Speaker 1: think that this might be the one that's coming back

261
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:14,440
Speaker 1: from three to one. I don't think that necessarily, but

262
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:18,080
Speaker 1: we'll see. Uh. Yeah, it seemed more evenly matched heading

263
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 1: in than it has looked to this point.

264
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 4: And that's the thing, you know, coming in, you know,

265
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:25,079
Speaker 4: we we went back and forth about this, uh you're

266
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 4: heading into the postseason, Like specifically, we thought the Calves

267
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:31,479
Speaker 4: would fare well. Not that not that we were discounting

268
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 4: the Clippers, but given the fact that the Calves had

269
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 4: all of those, you know, the offensive weapons, we thought,

270
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 4: you know, in a series in particular, that might make

271
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 4: a difference. But we just haven't seen that. And even

272
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 4: though the Knicks they haven't gotten great performances out of

273
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 4: you know, out of Julius Randall, they haven't even gotten

274
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 4: great stuff out of IQ. If I'm not mistaken, he's

275
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 4: actually out for Game five. They have still found a

276
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 4: way to you know, grit and grind it, I guess.

277
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,439
Speaker 4: And that's really a testament to Tom Thibodeau and the

278
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:57,960
Speaker 4: defense that he has those guys playing.

279
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:02,079
Speaker 1: And I mean, oh, le Brunson is you know, he's

280
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:04,600
Speaker 1: been good all season, but like now we're looking at

281
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 1: where the Knicks are versus where the MAVs are without him,

282
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:13,600
Speaker 1: Like and I just feel like he's got that game

283
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 1: manager and that dog in him, both things, but like

284
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:24,560
Speaker 1: game manager to the degree that like, you know, not

285
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 1: not an insult, but more of a Tom Brady type

286
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 1: game manager, where like game manager and really like an

287
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 1: effective player who might end up being something absolutely special.

288
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 1: He just gets wins. Yeah, I would take him on

289
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:43,040
Speaker 1: the Sixers. You would I would take him.

290
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 4: You know, I know it's crazy, but I would take

291
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 4: Jalen Brunson.

292
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 1: Knicks fans, you heard it here, if you want to

293
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:53,239
Speaker 1: get the talk started, we would take him with the Sixers.

294
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,720
Speaker 1: Speaking of the Sixers, this is my team. I do

295
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,559
Speaker 1: pay attention to other teams because I can't. I can't

296
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:03,320
Speaker 1: put all my eggs in this basket ken. It's it's

297
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:08,560
Speaker 1: too painful. This is as pessimistic as I've ever been

298
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 1: heading into the second round with since I became a

299
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 1: Sixers fan. And they've never made it out of the

300
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:16,680
Speaker 1: second round in my you know, in modern history, and

301
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 1: none of those have been a surprise, and yet this

302
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 1: is as pessimistic as I've ever been. I also think

303
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 1: this is as pessimistic as I've ever seen a fan

304
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 1: base coming out of a sweep.

305
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 4: The only team that swept, the only team that.

306
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 1: Swept, and every Sixers fan I talked to is like,

307
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:35,520
Speaker 1: we're screwed, man, this is terrible, Like the Celtics are

308
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 1: gonna kill us. And also when I say that to

309
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 1: people who aren't Sixers fans, they're like, yeah, man, you guys,

310
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 1: the Celtics are going to kill you. And I will

311
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 1: just say it. All of that being said, I've never

312
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 1: wanted them to defeat a team as much as I

313
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 1: want them to beat the Celtics. The last time I

314
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 1: can remember something like that is the year that the

315
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 1: Red Sox went down three to zero to the Yankees,

316
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 1: and they had just gotten beat by the Yankees over

317
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 1: and over and over again. And you know, as a

318
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 1: Red Sox fan, we were just like it's it's over,

319
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 1: it's not happening. But there was just like the sheer

320
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 1: amount of like belief and want and like desire from

321
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 1: the fan base just like kind of carried that fan

322
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 1: like that's the only thing I'm having to resort to,

323
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 1: like cross sports magical thinking here, but like that, that

324
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 1: is what it feels like. And when you listen to

325
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 1: like Bill Simmons talking about Embiid getting hurt on his

326
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 1: podcast with just an audible like beaming grin on his

327
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 1: face and like he had Heralabos vulgaris like the guy

328
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 1: who is like a professional gambler. He was like, well,

329
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 1: the Sixers aren't a serious team. Like just every six

330
00:15:55,840 --> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 1: every Celtics fan you hear from, is so dismissive the Sixers.

331
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 1: He gave him the logan, Roy that you're not serious people,

332
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 1: Like he was like, the Sixers aren't a serious team,

333
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 1: Like they're not. I think the thing that is painful

334
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 1: is that I agree with him, but I really would love,

335
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 1: would love for them to give the Celtics a serious

336
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 1: and his Torchard, Yeah, it is painful.

337
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 4: Well, kN Ken, you just you just alluded to something.

338
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 4: Jack and I were discussing in the pre show, what

339
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 4: is it about Doc that because you said you try,

340
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 4: you sure out said it's their coach. To this point,

341
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 4: he's done pretty good, you know, pretty well this season

342
00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 4: this season. Yes, man, I don't know what it is

343
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 4: about Doc.

344
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 3: I don't know why he can't get over the hump,

345
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:45,280
Speaker 3: and I think a lot of it might be for

346
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 3: some reason he's still in his mind. Like if you

347
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 3: listen to him talk, he still references Boss. Yes, he's

348
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 3: still references There wasn't hurt. We would have won. Like, Bro,

349
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 3: if you can't get your team to push through without

350
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 3: your big man, that that closed things up in the

351
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 3: middle there. If you can't find a way to get

352
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 3: that team to push on through, then I don't know

353
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:04,399
Speaker 3: why you're still referencing that series. And then you know

354
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 3: just the history that he has. I don't know if

355
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:08,920
Speaker 3: to be honest with you, I'm obviously not a coach,

356
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 3: but we've all watched enough basketball to be able to

357
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:14,119
Speaker 3: build these things around. I feel like I don't know

358
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:16,680
Speaker 3: if he makes Ajustice yeah right, like if things aren't

359
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 3: working for his team. I haven't seen a situation where

360
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 3: Doc Rivers went into the locker room and made an

361
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 3: adjustment that made a difference he needed the second half

362
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:27,439
Speaker 3: of the game or the second half of the series,

363
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:29,640
Speaker 3: and he has to be able to do that. He's

364
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:31,399
Speaker 3: been a coach for thirty years, so he must be

365
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:34,399
Speaker 3: incredible at something. I just don't know if that is

366
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:35,400
Speaker 3: the thing that he does well.

367
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:37,680
Speaker 1: When we were looking up all the teams that came

368
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:40,359
Speaker 1: back from three to one down, I will just say,

369
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 1: as the person whose team currently has Doc Rivers as

370
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 1: a coach, was not promising to see how many of

371
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 1: the teams that were the victims of people coming back

372
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 1: from through one down. We're coached by him, and I

373
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:56,919
Speaker 1: think that is the That is the rap that you

374
00:17:57,040 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 1: hear is that he doesn't make adjustments, so you know

375
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:02,880
Speaker 1: they can get three wins, but then the other team

376
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:07,920
Speaker 1: figures something out and he doesn't in turn figure something

377
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 1: out on top of that, and so you have situations

378
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 1: like with the Clippers twice or with Orlando or yeah,

379
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:21,200
Speaker 1: it almost happened. The year that he won with the Celtics,

380
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:24,879
Speaker 1: they had a really rocky road through the playoffs, like

381
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:29,439
Speaker 1: they almost didn't they like go to the game seven

382
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 1: and round one, like against Chicago. I feel like like

383
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:34,680
Speaker 1: Chicago was giving them.

384
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:37,400
Speaker 4: During that run.

385
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:40,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they were dominant, like they should have been dominant.

386
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:43,680
Speaker 1: But anyways, even in round one, even in the series

387
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 1: that they swept against the Nets, they looked incredibly Embiid

388
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:53,840
Speaker 1: looked bad in every game that he played in because

389
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:57,400
Speaker 1: they kept sending a double team and they didn't try

390
00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:00,880
Speaker 1: anything different. Every time they sent a team at him,

391
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 1: they didn't try anything different, and it was just he

392
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 1: looked exactly the same every game, which was a little

393
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 1: bit confused. I mean, he had like a game where

394
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:17,080
Speaker 1: it was just, yeah, it's it's not confidence inspiring, gives

395
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:21,440
Speaker 1: me nice resentment which will fuel me to uh root

396
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 1: really hard. And round two when they face the Celtics,

397
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:25,360
Speaker 1: I guess.

398
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 4: Jack, I'm going to stick with this. I still say

399
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:30,920
Speaker 4: that Embiid he knows how to pass out of the

400
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 4: double team. They've got plans for, you know, like how

401
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:36,399
Speaker 4: to counter that. They were just holding back because they

402
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 4: knew the think we got this. You know, we're up two, oh,

403
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:41,160
Speaker 4: we're up three to oh, we got this series. We

404
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:43,639
Speaker 4: want to hold you know, hold this back to stun

405
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 4: or surprise the Celtics with it, you know, as a

406
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:49,160
Speaker 4: strategy I'll go out on a limit, say it for you.

407
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 4: If Embeid is healthy enough to play, you guys are

408
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 4: going to win that series. The Celtics are going down

409
00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:55,680
Speaker 4: next round.

410
00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 1: You don't put like ten thousand dollars on it.

411
00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 4: I won't put ten thousand, but I'll put ten dollars.

412
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:09,360
Speaker 2: All right, I'll put ten dollars with you.

413
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 3: If you measure those by the way that Nicole a joke,

414
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:17,440
Speaker 3: it's jumped. Those are ten sacks. When do we get

415
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:18,280
Speaker 3: to the hater segment?

416
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 1: All right, we're about to, We're about to get there.

417
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 2: We'll be We're going to take a quick break.

418
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:25,199
Speaker 1: We'll come back and we'll hit on some of the

419
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:39,399
Speaker 1: Western Conference matchups and we're back and all right, you

420
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:41,720
Speaker 1: asked Ken, when when do we get to the hater section?

421
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 1: During the break? This is the hater section? What are

422
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 1: your thoughts on Joel Embiid? He's your m v P.

423
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 1: You were saying during the break, just elaborate on Now

424
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:56,399
Speaker 1: you're saying you're not a fan, never have been, and

425
00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 1: even you don't get it, which I feel like he's

426
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,919
Speaker 1: pretty easy to underst stand the appeal of a seven

427
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:06,240
Speaker 1: foot two person with feathery touch, bo what your your thoughts.

428
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:08,800
Speaker 1: Your thoughts are that he's fools.

429
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:13,480
Speaker 3: Gold, Okay, he's not. He's obviously got game right, there's

430
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 3: no doubt about that. You don't even get to this

431
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:18,160
Speaker 3: level of you don't have games. But for what he's

432
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 3: supposed to be, which is the franchise player, right league MVP,

433
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 3: the big man that goos to carry you through the playoffs, right,

434
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,920
Speaker 3: I don't see him doing that enough. I don't see

435
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:31,480
Speaker 3: him dominating in the playoffs. I know I'm gonna sound

436
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 3: like Shack on TND three man as what's going maybe,

437
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:38,000
Speaker 3: But he's supposed to do that, man Joel MB when

438
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 3: we get to the playoffs, he's supposed to dominate everything

439
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 3: that's happening inside there. He shoots way too many jump shots,

440
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:47,159
Speaker 3: and he doesn't just take everything on his back in

441
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 3: the fourth quarter and say I'm going to the hole,

442
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 3: foul me. I'm gonna make you foul me. Fucking get

443
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 3: these shots. He will bail them out with a jump

444
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:57,920
Speaker 3: shot and then he's hurt all the time. So I'm

445
00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 3: not quite sure what's happening with the modern day player.

446
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:02,120
Speaker 3: I don't know how many games the chem Olaju want missed,

447
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:03,679
Speaker 3: but I don't think he knows anything in those two

448
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:05,600
Speaker 3: year run for the Rocket. And the point is is

449
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:07,520
Speaker 3: your big man has to be durable, he has to

450
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:10,680
Speaker 3: be dominant, he has to be a force in the playoffs.

451
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:12,960
Speaker 3: And I don't see that with Joel indeed at all.

452
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, all right.

453
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:16,680
Speaker 1: And now Nikola Jokic.

454
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 3: Like he's different though, because his game has never been

455
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:26,040
Speaker 3: anything about anything other than finetse. There's nothing physical about

456
00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:28,359
Speaker 3: Jokic at all, and he doesn't pretend to be a

457
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:29,240
Speaker 3: physical player.

458
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:32,360
Speaker 1: Defense very little uh physical.

459
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:34,359
Speaker 3: About that exactly. So I don't expect him all of

460
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:36,080
Speaker 3: a sudden in the playoffs to be this dude that's

461
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:38,280
Speaker 3: going to bully you down low. He's just gonna fineesh

462
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 3: you all the way through and then get his teammates

463
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:42,960
Speaker 3: into the game. So asking him to be something other

464
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,200
Speaker 3: than what he is in the regular season, or asking

465
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 3: him to be a different version of what he is

466
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:49,520
Speaker 3: in the regular season when he comes to the playoffs

467
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:52,639
Speaker 3: not fair at all. But for Embeed, there are times

468
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:55,320
Speaker 3: during the regular season where he is a brute force

469
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:58,480
Speaker 3: down low, he is physical, and then he gets away

470
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 3: from it and he goes back to then he gets

471
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 3: away from it again, and I'm like, why do you

472
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 3: keep doing that? And why does Stot let him do that? Yeah,

473
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 3: Doc should be like get down there and sit in

474
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:09,879
Speaker 3: the paint and don't move till I tell you to

475
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:12,360
Speaker 3: come out of there, or yeah after three seconds one

476
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:15,000
Speaker 3: of those two. And you know, I feel like he

477
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:16,919
Speaker 3: just needs to do a lot more. And it's the

478
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 3: process is just the end, yeah, Gi at the end.

479
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 1: This is supposed to be the end result, all right.

480
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 1: On the Nuggets right now they are into the second

481
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:29,199
Speaker 1: round where they will be facing the Suns. I do

482
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:32,080
Speaker 1: just want to, you know, say a fond farewell to

483
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 1: Anthony Edwards who was doing on both ends to avoid

484
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:41,160
Speaker 1: the sweeping Game four. And his defense has been on

485
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 1: some like I've never seen that, like with anticipation with

486
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:48,160
Speaker 1: the blocks, like that block Jamari that you linked off

487
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:52,080
Speaker 1: to where where he like comes down the dude jumps

488
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:56,160
Speaker 1: into him and like he jumps before the ball handler

489
00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:59,359
Speaker 1: jumped to like put up the shot and blocks it

490
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:03,399
Speaker 1: on the way down. Like it's just the craziest, this

491
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:06,680
Speaker 1: is the wildest thing. But he like there's something he's

492
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:10,320
Speaker 1: doing defensively, like this season, increasingly at the end of

493
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 1: the season, wasn't enough for them to salvage their season,

494
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:17,679
Speaker 1: but with like anticipation steals in blocks, like he was

495
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 1: doing some things at times where I was like, I've

496
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:25,359
Speaker 1: never really seen somebody look that dominant defensively, just in

497
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:29,680
Speaker 1: terms of like anticipation and like just stealing, like intercepting

498
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:34,000
Speaker 1: things like it was pretty cool. I'm still super excited

499
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 1: about where he's going.

500
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:39,119
Speaker 6: Off this steel Edward's trying to get back head because I.

501
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:41,360
Speaker 4: Want to rejection from Anthony Edwards.

502
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 1: Now Edward's running to break euros and finishes a sensational

503
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:49,240
Speaker 1: two way highlight.

504
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, at his age in particular, you know year three,

505
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 4: you know you look at you look at swingman or

506
00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:59,119
Speaker 4: you know, shooting guards in particular, the true greats that

507
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 4: he is a you know, whether you feel it's fair

508
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:04,200
Speaker 4: or foul, has been compared to generally. Year three is

509
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:06,560
Speaker 4: that turner. Is that year where it's like, oh, you know,

510
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:08,639
Speaker 4: that was the case kind of with the way the

511
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 4: case with Kobe, the case with you know, the other guys.

512
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:13,920
Speaker 4: And I only mentioned him because they've been mentioned before,

513
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:16,120
Speaker 4: not to put that pressure on him, but no, you're

514
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:18,640
Speaker 4: exactly right. You know, he's obviously showed promise in those

515
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:20,760
Speaker 4: first couple of years, but this year it definitely felt

516
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 4: like he kind of turned it on. And I actually,

517
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:25,480
Speaker 4: I'll turn that to Ken. We made a lot, and

518
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:27,879
Speaker 4: by we I mean the general conversation. We made a

519
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:30,760
Speaker 4: lot about what they gave up for Gobert and them

520
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:33,879
Speaker 4: really going for it. And I recognize that offensively, it

521
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:35,840
Speaker 4: may it may still be a little bit clunky, and

522
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:37,879
Speaker 4: they probably need to figure out, you know, what to

523
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 4: do moving forward. But on the defensive end, I think

524
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 4: having a guy like Gobert back there for the first time,

525
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:45,639
Speaker 4: I think that can only help a young guard or

526
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:47,959
Speaker 4: a young you know, wing that is in particular trying to,

527
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:50,320
Speaker 4: you know, elevate on the defensive end. I know that

528
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:52,160
Speaker 4: you didn't pay attention to anybody else, but what did

529
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:53,400
Speaker 4: you see from that situation.

530
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:55,960
Speaker 3: Well, it's the thing about Minnesota is they were absolutely

531
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:58,480
Speaker 3: a problem for the king, and Anthony Edwards was a

532
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:02,040
Speaker 3: king Heller. We could not stop that dude. And I

533
00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:04,720
Speaker 3: remember getting into like a debate or an argument every

534
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:07,320
Speaker 3: conversation I have with my friends in Sacramento, specifically my

535
00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:10,240
Speaker 3: old radio partner Damian Barling, who still works in Sacramento.

536
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:13,360
Speaker 3: ESPN thirteen twenty. Every time we talk about basketball, we argue,

537
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:15,720
Speaker 3: and so he's like, yeah, man, Anthony Edwards is the

538
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 3: future in Minnesota. I'm like, Manna, man, can't kill the

539
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:21,119
Speaker 3: dude did we were talking about and then I started

540
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:23,679
Speaker 3: watching him. Then this year, man, that dude put it

541
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:25,760
Speaker 3: on the kings and we could not stop him. If

542
00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:27,600
Speaker 3: he's the Western Conference Jimmy.

543
00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:31,919
Speaker 1: Butler, right, he feels like, yeah, tool strength.

544
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:34,600
Speaker 3: Right, yeah, and that will that that I hate this

545
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:37,120
Speaker 3: stupid phrase, but that dog that that makes little things

546
00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:39,960
Speaker 3: like you just mentioned, making things happen in the passing lane,

547
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:42,840
Speaker 3: making things happen, anticipating other players and getting blocks and

548
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:44,760
Speaker 3: steels and all these things, getting this body in the

549
00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:49,040
Speaker 3: way and then knocking down the key shot. Like there's

550
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:51,600
Speaker 3: something about that, dude. But as far as their defense

551
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:54,840
Speaker 3: is concerned, I think that it's going to just absolutely

552
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:57,640
Speaker 3: be improved because they have the bodies now, right, They've

553
00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:00,239
Speaker 3: got that week stot shot blocking aspect and go who

554
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 3: sits on the other side to do all that now

555
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:04,200
Speaker 3: when they're both on the flour together, and so that's

556
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 3: what you want. You want that they call it a lurker.

557
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:08,240
Speaker 3: The go bear is just gonna lurk over there on

558
00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:11,159
Speaker 3: the weeks SID and then come over and handle that business.

559
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:13,080
Speaker 3: I think it's gonna work out great. It's hard to

560
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:16,440
Speaker 3: kind of have all those pieces come together when you

561
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:18,720
Speaker 3: switch your whole style. You talked about giving us some

562
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 3: offensive pieces in order to get that defensive stability. It

563
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:23,800
Speaker 3: takes a minute for that stuff to kind of gel together.

564
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:26,880
Speaker 3: I don't care about them losing that first series four

565
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:28,720
Speaker 3: games to one. I think that team's gonna be for

566
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:30,920
Speaker 3: real next year. I think they're gonna be a problem

567
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:32,240
Speaker 3: for all of us.

568
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:33,520
Speaker 4: How it develops.

569
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:35,640
Speaker 1: And I feel like maybe that was one of the

570
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:38,960
Speaker 1: less watched of the series, just because I think people

571
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:41,080
Speaker 1: had a sense that the Nuggets were gonna win it.

572
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:46,280
Speaker 1: But if if you missed it his last four games

573
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:48,760
Speaker 1: of the postseason, Anthony Edwards last four games were twenty

574
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 1: nine points, thirty four points, thirty six.

575
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:51,440
Speaker 2: And forty one.

576
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:57,240
Speaker 1: So, yeah, Bed, he was doing some crazy stuff. Lakers

577
00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:02,040
Speaker 1: grizz Warriors, Kings. They both both have games tonight that

578
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:08,080
Speaker 1: are going to severely swing how anybody feels about the Jabbari.

579
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:12,199
Speaker 1: You're confident in the Lakers closing it out. Yeah, tonight.

580
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:13,920
Speaker 1: Last night for the listener.

581
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:16,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's one of those situations where this team has

582
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:20,080
Speaker 4: given me no reason whatsoever to be confident in them.

583
00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:22,119
Speaker 4: Over the course of the year. You start out two

584
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:23,879
Speaker 4: and ten, you find a way to turn it around,

585
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:27,120
Speaker 4: that's great, but it was a grind. It has been

586
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:29,840
Speaker 4: a grind, not just for the players but for you

587
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:34,159
Speaker 4: fans of the team. But that said, for whatever reason,

588
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:37,320
Speaker 4: I do believe, and you know you have definitely swayed

589
00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:39,719
Speaker 4: me a bit. I'm a little bit more pessimistic as

590
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:42,640
Speaker 4: a fan than I normally am, but I'm pushing away

591
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:45,640
Speaker 4: the Philly angst. I say the Lakers finish it off tonight,

592
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:49,080
Speaker 4: I'm actually more intrigued, and honestly, even if it doesn't happen,

593
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:50,800
Speaker 4: they're up three to two coming back home. But I'm

594
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:53,440
Speaker 4: more intrigued, admittedly by the two to two series. You know,

595
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:56,000
Speaker 4: the main reason why we brought Ken on near today.

596
00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 4: Do either of you still feel confident in the Kings

597
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 4: coming out of this series?

598
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:01,240
Speaker 2: Confident?

599
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:06,320
Speaker 1: No. I think there's a scenario where this is the

600
00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:09,240
Speaker 1: worst it looks for the Kings is to to coming

601
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:14,320
Speaker 1: off the two Warriors wins with Fox's broken finger, and

602
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:16,600
Speaker 1: then they just find a way to gut it and

603
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 1: like keep the pace high, and Mike Brown continues to

604
00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:25,160
Speaker 1: out coach Steve Kerr like at home and just like

605
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:28,160
Speaker 1: I think there's a world where like they've both been

606
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:32,200
Speaker 1: really good at home teams and the Warriors have been

607
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:35,680
Speaker 1: terrible on the road and have not been able to

608
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:38,840
Speaker 1: do it on the road, including in this series. And

609
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:44,000
Speaker 1: I don't know, I could definitely see it feels like

610
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:49,000
Speaker 1: the popular opinion has swung to this is the Warriors

611
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:52,720
Speaker 1: series because the popular opinion wanted to be that heading

612
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:56,160
Speaker 1: into this series, right, Like Klay Townsend was like, when

613
00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:58,120
Speaker 1: we're healthy, I don't see anyone beating us, and everyone

614
00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 1: was like, yep, Clay spoke, that's that's our pick now

615
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:05,680
Speaker 1: in Vegas and everything because like, I don't know, man, Like, yeah,

616
00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:10,040
Speaker 1: the Kings looked really good and the Warriors were wildly

617
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:12,920
Speaker 1: frustrating all season, and every time you guys thought they

618
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:17,000
Speaker 1: were putting it together, they weren't. They turned around and

619
00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:20,719
Speaker 1: did something inexplicable, usually on the road. So you know,

620
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 1: the Kings still have home court advantage. I'm fifty to

621
00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:25,520
Speaker 1: fifty on this one, but if I had to pick

622
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:27,920
Speaker 1: a team, I'd probably pick the Kings.

623
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:31,880
Speaker 3: I'm a kingsman, and I wouldn't even pick the Kings.

624
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:35,600
Speaker 4: In Best two or three. You're not you don't feel good.

625
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:38,800
Speaker 3: About oh way? Like, look, we were all grown man,

626
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 3: and we've all been watching basketball since we were kids,

627
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:43,840
Speaker 3: and we could probably remember a certain series and when

628
00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:47,440
Speaker 3: we became like intuitively aware of how things work with

629
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:50,640
Speaker 3: momentum and champions and how you just can't get past it.

630
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:53,840
Speaker 3: The first time I realized that there were sometimes things

631
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:57,320
Speaker 3: you just can't control was when Jordan and the Bulls

632
00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:00,440
Speaker 3: faced Magic in the Lakers in the early ninety I

633
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:05,479
Speaker 3: love magics. I love magic, and at that time I

634
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:08,920
Speaker 3: hated Michael George. But when I watched them, I remember

635
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:11,560
Speaker 3: how the Lakers got away with Game number one. Sam

636
00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 3: parked into the three pointer or something like that, and

637
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:14,360
Speaker 3: they got away with a victory.

638
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:17,560
Speaker 1: There bloody devots hit a lay up and then ran

639
00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:22,800
Speaker 1: around with his finger over his mouth. Yeah, I was.

640
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:25,720
Speaker 1: I was a huge Jordan fan, and that was burnt

641
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:26,200
Speaker 1: my memory.

642
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:29,680
Speaker 3: I was like no, But then after that it was

643
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:32,560
Speaker 3: a rapah And you could tell. When you got the

644
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:35,080
Speaker 3: Game three of that church, You're like, man, y'all, are

645
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:38,400
Speaker 3: y'all can't do nothing with the Bulls. And it's same

646
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 3: thing when I remember in ninety three when the Suns

647
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:43,720
Speaker 3: played the bull and Barkley is playing his absolute brain out.

648
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:47,400
Speaker 3: I mean, he's just crazy every night. I'm just like, man,

649
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:50,320
Speaker 3: y'all can't beat the Bulls, dude. It's just one of

650
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:52,360
Speaker 3: the things you realized when you watch. You're like, now

651
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:55,320
Speaker 3: you just can't. You can't beat them. And so I

652
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 3: have that feeling with the Kings and Warriors. I'm like, man,

653
00:31:57,360 --> 00:31:59,960
Speaker 3: they got championship, DNA. We had them on the rope.

654
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 3: You got to knock the champ out when you got

655
00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:04,160
Speaker 3: to you gotta pan on the ropes. And we missed

656
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:07,360
Speaker 3: our opportunity. And now it's even and we're.

657
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:09,160
Speaker 4: Prob can we get a full on prediction?

658
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:11,320
Speaker 3: Well, I think it's one of those things where it's

659
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:14,320
Speaker 3: reason why we all have such anxiety and we hate

660
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:18,040
Speaker 3: the god's sports right because if the Aaron Fox doesn't

661
00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 3: have the issue with his fingertip, Kings fans are feeling

662
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:24,240
Speaker 3: supremely comfortable. But the fact he's got the issue with

663
00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:27,440
Speaker 3: the fingertips, and it may be because of Draymond green Man,

664
00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:30,560
Speaker 3: come on, unload the bus. Everybody fighting the parking lot.

665
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:32,480
Speaker 3: That's the only chance that we got to get anything.

666
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 3: Everybody unloaded the bus and fight in the parking lot

667
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 3: because man, we can't win on the court because they

668
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:40,280
Speaker 3: got away with their tricks and they got us. They

669
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:41,880
Speaker 3: just had to get the one or two games with

670
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:43,640
Speaker 3: their tricks and they got us, and now they got

671
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:44,320
Speaker 3: us what they wanted.

672
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:49,120
Speaker 1: It is wild how effective Draymond Green continues to be.

673
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:53,240
Speaker 1: If I was an NBA player, I would do nothing

674
00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:57,240
Speaker 1: but study Draymond Green like game tape, because it feels

675
00:32:57,280 --> 00:33:01,040
Speaker 1: like it's just things you can learn to do that

676
00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:04,800
Speaker 1: like he just there's like a magic to it. And

677
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:09,040
Speaker 1: even I don't know, man's it really is crazy. He's

678
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:10,040
Speaker 1: so effective.

679
00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:12,320
Speaker 4: So this is the funniest thing about Draymond Green, and

680
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:14,120
Speaker 4: I'm so glad that you brought that up. With all

681
00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:16,400
Speaker 4: the antics and everything, you know, you know, people are

682
00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:18,680
Speaker 4: going to have their opinions about him, but you're not

683
00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:20,600
Speaker 4: gonna find You're not going to find very many smarter

684
00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:23,200
Speaker 4: players out there. He knows the angles to take, he

685
00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:25,400
Speaker 4: knows how to position himself, he knows what he can

686
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:28,360
Speaker 4: get away with. He knows where where the refs are

687
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:30,920
Speaker 4: are positioned, so that he can do certain things that

688
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:34,320
Speaker 4: are advantageous for himself and ultimately his team. But no,

689
00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:37,640
Speaker 4: you're like, that's a great point. Like if I'm look,

690
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:40,040
Speaker 4: I don't care what level I'm at, but especially if

691
00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:42,320
Speaker 4: I'm a guy that's struggling or trying to stay in

692
00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:44,080
Speaker 4: the league, you know, that's the game tape that I

693
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:46,960
Speaker 4: would definitely be watching because yeah, yeah, it's a.

694
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:49,440
Speaker 3: Winning You guys, we all, like I said, we all

695
00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:52,720
Speaker 3: grew up watching basketball. We also grew up playing basketball. Look,

696
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:54,280
Speaker 3: I'm not a very big guy at all, so it

697
00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:56,280
Speaker 3: wasn't an option. I'm not quick. But here's a number

698
00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:58,720
Speaker 3: one reason why I stopped messing around with pickup games

699
00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:01,760
Speaker 3: because every five minute, somebody wants to do what they

700
00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:02,320
Speaker 3: want to fight.

701
00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:03,320
Speaker 2: Oh yeah.

702
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:07,400
Speaker 4: Right, you know that, don't you know?

703
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:09,040
Speaker 3: I'm not messing out there, no one. I'm like, man,

704
00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:11,279
Speaker 3: this is my money maker. I'm not trying to have

705
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:13,440
Speaker 3: you mess with my money maker right now. So no

706
00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:16,480
Speaker 3: elbows and punch me in the mouth. I'm out. But

707
00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:20,080
Speaker 3: the NBA and all these dudes that had to play

708
00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:22,080
Speaker 3: through all that toughness, you have to get to play

709
00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:24,520
Speaker 3: some suffers at punts. Then you get to AAU you

710
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:26,800
Speaker 3: got to be tough on the court. High school, college,

711
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:29,160
Speaker 3: you have to be tough. Then you get to the NBA,

712
00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:33,040
Speaker 3: that one dude dominate you in every aspect on the court.

713
00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:36,400
Speaker 3: I'm like, what, how is this still happening in the NBA.

714
00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:38,960
Speaker 1: Let's take a quick break. We'll come back and we

715
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:42,800
Speaker 1: will do the fastest segment of podcasting rapid fire.

716
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:43,319
Speaker 2: Uh uh.

717
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:56,960
Speaker 1: We will be right back and we're back, and I

718
00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:59,799
Speaker 1: guess the one series we haven't really talked about is

719
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:03,360
Speaker 1: Suns closing out the Clippers. They will be facing the Nuggets.

720
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:06,600
Speaker 1: That's gonna be a great series. I feel like Booker

721
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:10,600
Speaker 1: is the story of that first round series. I like

722
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:13,960
Speaker 1: on the Sun side, the Clipper side was obviously a mess,

723
00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:18,000
Speaker 1: but you know, it's injury stuff that I don't feel

724
00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:21,480
Speaker 1: like is as fun to discuss as just how good

725
00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:25,080
Speaker 1: Devin Booker is. They seemed like they are starting to

726
00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:29,359
Speaker 1: put some things together on the Sun side, which makes

727
00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:31,879
Speaker 1: me excited about that series because I thought I thought

728
00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:34,600
Speaker 1: the Nuggets kind of had it wrapped up if they

729
00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:36,680
Speaker 1: looked as bad as they did in like Game one.

730
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:38,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, from the Sun side of things, I won't lie.

731
00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:40,719
Speaker 4: After Game one, I said, oh, well, maybe they're you know,

732
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:44,200
Speaker 4: maybe maybe I jumped the gun. Maybe they're not. But

733
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:47,279
Speaker 4: the rest of that series felt like a remember when

734
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:49,440
Speaker 4: Roy Jones came out with the rap album y'all must

735
00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:51,279
Speaker 4: have forgot. I don't know if y'all remember, but I

736
00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:53,000
Speaker 4: just love that song, and I you know, it might

737
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:56,000
Speaker 4: still get it, might still get bumped right now. In fact,

738
00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:59,160
Speaker 4: Brian put this, put that track underneath what I'm saying

739
00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:01,760
Speaker 4: right now. It felt like a y'all must have forgot

740
00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:05,480
Speaker 4: series because so many of us, so many of us

741
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:07,319
Speaker 4: were guilty of this. We're like, hey, they got kat now,

742
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:10,200
Speaker 4: so kt is the guy. And Devin Booker while Katie

743
00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:13,040
Speaker 4: is still fantastic and you want and you you want

744
00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:14,680
Speaker 4: him on that wall, you need him on that wall.

745
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:18,319
Speaker 4: Devin Booker still the guy. Devin Booker is the best

746
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:19,240
Speaker 4: player on the Suns.

747
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:22,040
Speaker 1: And so many references in a row, that's all.

748
00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:23,120
Speaker 2: I'm here, a few good men.

749
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:29,879
Speaker 1: So Roy Jones reference to his rap album that is

750
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:33,719
Speaker 1: not like about people overreaching, but it's just like that's.

751
00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:38,879
Speaker 4: A good song. You know what, Jack, Just wait next

752
00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:40,920
Speaker 4: time I've got a demolition Man reference. I'm gonna work

753
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:41,600
Speaker 4: it in there somehow.

754
00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:43,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's good stuff.

755
00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:46,399
Speaker 1: Remember when Dennis Robmin was in that Van Damn movie, Well,

756
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:49,200
Speaker 1: his character once said something that I think it out

757
00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:56,920
Speaker 1: all the time called double double team, something that no

758
00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:58,480
Speaker 1: one ever did to Dennis Robins.

759
00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:02,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, I love me some Deennis Rovin. I mean, think

760
00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:04,160
Speaker 3: about it, if you want to win, if you were

761
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:06,279
Speaker 3: coaching one and win, You're like, I need that dude.

762
00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:07,919
Speaker 3: If I can just find a way to control that dude.

763
00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:10,719
Speaker 3: Oh and then Bill Jackson realized I can't control them.

764
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:11,759
Speaker 3: Let him do whatever he wants.

765
00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:12,400
Speaker 4: Just harness it.

766
00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:14,640
Speaker 2: Just some other things.

767
00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:17,279
Speaker 1: While watching Fox News, it would seem he did.

768
00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:19,520
Speaker 4: He did, he and his posse.

769
00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:22,080
Speaker 3: But with the with the Sun man, I mean, like,

770
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:24,239
Speaker 3: you know, KD is gonna be the difference maker. Even

771
00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:26,880
Speaker 3: though Devin Booker is definitely trying to assert himself as

772
00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:29,560
Speaker 3: the man, they're not gonna win and let KD, you know,

773
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:31,160
Speaker 3: comes through and he will have to steal the degal

774
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:32,040
Speaker 3: on a couple of those games.

775
00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:34,040
Speaker 4: Ken, I'll put you like this not to push back,

776
00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:36,680
Speaker 4: but to push back a little bit. I saw Devin

777
00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:38,160
Speaker 4: Booker take a team to the finals.

778
00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:41,480
Speaker 3: You also saw Devin Booker get swept after going up.

779
00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:44,319
Speaker 4: I recognize that. And I'm saying it like that on

780
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:46,279
Speaker 4: purpose because Suns fans will get, you know, like a

781
00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:48,239
Speaker 4: little upset about it. I saw Devin Booker take a

782
00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:51,279
Speaker 4: team to the finals. KD has won some titles, yes, but.

783
00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:52,560
Speaker 3: He's never led a team.

784
00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:55,839
Speaker 1: You don't think, yeah, he led that Warriors team, right,

785
00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:56,520
Speaker 1: I mean that.

786
00:37:56,719 --> 00:38:00,800
Speaker 3: It doesn't you can't say that.

787
00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:03,560
Speaker 4: Which is the reason why I said it like that,

788
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:07,320
Speaker 4: not not to you take the conversation into a terrible

789
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:10,400
Speaker 4: place because you know there's enough of that on NBA Twitter.

790
00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:11,200
Speaker 3: Uh.

791
00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:13,200
Speaker 4: And you know, bus driver versus non bus driver.

792
00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:17,440
Speaker 1: But you won the finals MVP one year twice twice. Yeah,

793
00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:21,440
Speaker 1: I don't know. It does feel like he is like

794
00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:24,839
Speaker 1: I've heard, you know, certain commentators be like they don't

795
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:28,000
Speaker 1: know who's driving the bus, and like Katie's just kind

796
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:29,480
Speaker 1: of like it's kind of like the new guy at

797
00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:32,400
Speaker 1: the bachelor party. You know what I'm saying, Uh, this

798
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:34,640
Speaker 1: is you'll never guess who I'm.

799
00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:36,760
Speaker 4: Doing, Bill Simmons.

800
00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:40,560
Speaker 1: You know, the new guy at the bachelor party doesn't

801
00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:43,759
Speaker 1: really know like which which group he like fits him with,

802
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:46,040
Speaker 1: doesn't know his role. That's kind of how Katie is,

803
00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:49,120
Speaker 1: Like I think he also might just be letting Devin

804
00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:54,520
Speaker 1: Booker be the man, like understanding that he needs to

805
00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:57,440
Speaker 1: let Devin Booker be Alpha and he can just be

806
00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:04,239
Speaker 1: the greatest complimentary score of all time because he wants

807
00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:04,799
Speaker 1: another ring.

808
00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:06,880
Speaker 3: But if he does that, does he get any credit?

809
00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:09,359
Speaker 3: You know, we don't. Players don't get credit for kind

810
00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:11,960
Speaker 3: of taking the backseat sometimes and doing the other things.

811
00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:14,840
Speaker 1: I think he's given up on that narrative stuff, hopefully

812
00:39:15,120 --> 00:39:16,359
Speaker 1: for his insanity.

813
00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:18,600
Speaker 4: You just hit it on the head like he knows,

814
00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:21,040
Speaker 4: you know, what it is, is what it is. And ultimately,

815
00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:23,239
Speaker 4: and here's the thing, they may not get credit in

816
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:25,120
Speaker 4: the moment. They may not get credit on you know,

817
00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:28,120
Speaker 4: the bird app you we're on Twitter talking trash whatever,

818
00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:31,520
Speaker 4: and you know, but ultimately, when we look back at it,

819
00:39:31,719 --> 00:39:34,440
Speaker 4: we're gonna say KD was a champion. Like so like

820
00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:36,520
Speaker 4: what I was saying earlier was a little bit tongue

821
00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:38,840
Speaker 4: in cheek, We're not gonna, you know, like, at least me,

822
00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:41,480
Speaker 4: I'm not going to say, oh, well he only did

823
00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:43,120
Speaker 4: this or early did No. KD is one of the

824
00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:45,000
Speaker 4: all time greats, and he's you know, the two or

825
00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:47,840
Speaker 4: three time champion. Is how the story's gonna.

826
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:49,719
Speaker 3: Be conception is everything. I was watching a clip about

827
00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:53,000
Speaker 3: Kobe Bryant was talking about the deception of his legacy oppositely,

828
00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:55,359
Speaker 3: and he was talking about how when he had those

829
00:39:55,440 --> 00:39:57,399
Speaker 3: three rings with Shack and then Shaq got the fourth

830
00:39:57,480 --> 00:40:00,680
Speaker 3: ring in Miami. He's like, I absolutely has to get

831
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:03,359
Speaker 3: the next two rings or people are going to say

832
00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:06,120
Speaker 3: the narrative about my career is I couldn't win without Check.

833
00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:09,440
Speaker 3: He's like people say about Michael he couldn't win without Scotty, right.

834
00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:11,520
Speaker 3: He's like, Okay, well, I have to find a way

835
00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:14,040
Speaker 3: to win without Shack. He's like, I couldn't accept that

836
00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:17,319
Speaker 3: as the narrative of my career. Kevin Durant has to

837
00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:19,479
Speaker 3: do the same thing. He has to say, I can't

838
00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:21,480
Speaker 3: accept the narrative of my career is that I'm a

839
00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:25,360
Speaker 3: complimentary player that I've never let anything. He has to

840
00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:29,240
Speaker 3: accept that that's how it's going to be unless he

841
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:31,840
Speaker 3: changes it, and he doesn't seem to be willing to

842
00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:32,279
Speaker 3: change it.

843
00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:33,919
Speaker 2: I think ultimately he doesn't care.

844
00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:36,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was gonna say, I think ultimately at the

845
00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:39,120
Speaker 4: end of things, yes, that might bother him right here

846
00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:41,640
Speaker 4: in the moment, or if he sees it on the timeline, right.

847
00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:42,600
Speaker 4: I think it's good.

848
00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:44,840
Speaker 1: It does bother him because he is one of my

849
00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:48,040
Speaker 1: favorite just petty people like on Twitter, like I just

850
00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:50,560
Speaker 1: love like some of the things he responds to and

851
00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:53,560
Speaker 1: gets mad about. I'm just like, God, bless you, sir.

852
00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:57,399
Speaker 1: You must have the worst digestion in the world if

853
00:40:57,400 --> 00:41:00,200
Speaker 1: you pay attention to every negative thing people say say

854
00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:00,560
Speaker 1: about you.

855
00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:03,280
Speaker 3: But feel like the thing with Kobe and like Barkley,

856
00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:06,160
Speaker 3: I think they totally underscore the fact that, man, you've

857
00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:08,920
Speaker 3: got to be aware of your legacy. Toby was aware

858
00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:11,560
Speaker 3: of it, and Kobe said, I'm changing this storyline to

859
00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:13,520
Speaker 3: that one. I'm no longer here. You know that I'm

860
00:41:13,520 --> 00:41:17,640
Speaker 3: a champion. Barkley never put the investment, Like Jordan always said, Dude,

861
00:41:17,680 --> 00:41:19,759
Speaker 3: you didn't put the investment. He didn't invest the time

862
00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:22,440
Speaker 3: into changing the narrative of being a champion. Yeah, you

863
00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:25,680
Speaker 3: just played basketball and I have a difference. And Barker's

864
00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:31,719
Speaker 3: got to hear it every night, chet every night, every night.

865
00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:37,080
Speaker 1: All right, rapid fire, let me stretch fast, fastest segment

866
00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:40,399
Speaker 1: of podcasting. We're just looking for your immediate thought. We're

867
00:41:40,440 --> 00:41:42,600
Speaker 1: just going to try and keep this one moving. No

868
00:41:42,719 --> 00:41:46,560
Speaker 1: hesies on this one, Jabari, you want to take first?

869
00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:47,640
Speaker 1: You want me to take first?

870
00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:48,680
Speaker 4: Now you go first?

871
00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:50,760
Speaker 2: You all right, deal this choice? Okay?

872
00:41:51,560 --> 00:41:55,160
Speaker 1: Ken? First question, rapid fire. Is there a single NBA

873
00:41:55,200 --> 00:41:57,400
Speaker 1: player you would take right now over the chance of

874
00:41:57,440 --> 00:42:00,720
Speaker 1: taking Quemba Yama with the first pick the summer?

875
00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:02,719
Speaker 4: Yeah?

876
00:42:02,719 --> 00:42:03,839
Speaker 3: I think Aaron Bock all.

877
00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:08,640
Speaker 1: Day, all right, all right.

878
00:42:08,560 --> 00:42:10,440
Speaker 4: He said it for folks. He said it with a

879
00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:12,439
Speaker 4: straight face. He's looking at me, mean mugging right now

880
00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:14,839
Speaker 4: at the fact that at the fact that I'm saying

881
00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:18,360
Speaker 4: stop it. But alight, if that's where we're going, I'm not.

882
00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:28,360
Speaker 1: Mad at it's a generational player, okay, all right, Hey.

883
00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:30,200
Speaker 4: They say a lot of things.

884
00:42:31,239 --> 00:42:34,879
Speaker 1: Ben Simmons was a generational player. Oh yes, in fact,

885
00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:37,759
Speaker 1: did I say no?

886
00:42:37,840 --> 00:42:40,080
Speaker 4: I was just saying, well, but in fairness, I was

887
00:42:40,120 --> 00:42:42,600
Speaker 4: a Ben Simmons guy. So I can't, like, I can't,

888
00:42:42,840 --> 00:42:45,600
Speaker 4: you know, walk away sideways now simply because he's down

889
00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:47,480
Speaker 4: a little bit. He's still coming back. He's still going

890
00:42:47,560 --> 00:42:51,560
Speaker 4: to have that fantastic career. Just you know, I do that,

891
00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:53,759
Speaker 4: all right, all right, but you know what, we've messed

892
00:42:53,840 --> 00:42:56,799
Speaker 4: up because this is the fastest segment in podcasting, and

893
00:42:56,880 --> 00:42:59,000
Speaker 4: you know we've been daily deadly, So keeping it going.

894
00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:02,560
Speaker 4: Second question, what is your favorite NBA city to visit

895
00:43:02,719 --> 00:43:05,320
Speaker 4: and what's your must have meal in that town?

896
00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:09,680
Speaker 3: Wow, NBA city to visit? I had to say it,

897
00:43:09,120 --> 00:43:13,880
Speaker 3: it's Los Angeles. There you go, unfortunately, just because LA

898
00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:16,759
Speaker 3: does everything. Now the meal that I would have if

899
00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:19,880
Speaker 3: I'm in LA, it's street tacos. Baby, Yes, I'm all

900
00:43:19,880 --> 00:43:20,520
Speaker 3: about tacos.

901
00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:23,800
Speaker 4: Yes, let me get it right outside of I was

902
00:43:23,840 --> 00:43:25,920
Speaker 4: gonna say Staples, but yeah, we're still gonna call it

903
00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:28,120
Speaker 4: right outside of Staples. Let me get a you know,

904
00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:31,399
Speaker 4: a street taco, one of those Sonorian dogs, bacon wrap

905
00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:33,120
Speaker 4: hot dogs. We are good to go.

906
00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:36,439
Speaker 2: What are those? They're not Sonorian hot dogs?

907
00:43:36,520 --> 00:43:39,880
Speaker 4: Well, in here in Arizona, they're called Sognoran dogs because

908
00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:43,520
Speaker 4: they were they originated here, according to Arizona's.

909
00:43:43,160 --> 00:43:46,680
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, is Jalen Ros's hair too good to

910
00:43:46,719 --> 00:43:47,160
Speaker 1: be true?

911
00:43:47,840 --> 00:43:50,920
Speaker 3: Yes? Okay, everything about that brother is like too good

912
00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:53,920
Speaker 3: to be true. It's career and he's still on television.

913
00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:54,640
Speaker 3: All that stuff is.

914
00:43:54,640 --> 00:43:57,239
Speaker 4: Too good to be true. I got you, all right,

915
00:43:57,520 --> 00:44:00,000
Speaker 4: Keeping it going. You can go back and attend any

916
00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:04,520
Speaker 4: game in NBA history. Which game are you choosing? Outside

917
00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:09,200
Speaker 4: of Game four two thousand and two, right, come.

918
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:13,200
Speaker 3: Out there with a boodoo doll. I would have to say, Wow,

919
00:44:13,560 --> 00:44:16,640
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go. Believe it or not. Game seven Lakers

920
00:44:16,680 --> 00:44:20,640
Speaker 3: and Celtics, the year that Kobe and Ron archest beats

921
00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:22,800
Speaker 3: of Celtic twenty ten. I would have loved to have

922
00:44:22,880 --> 00:44:24,880
Speaker 3: been at that because Kobe was pulling down rebounds, doing

923
00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:26,359
Speaker 3: all this different stuff. That would have been a really

924
00:44:26,360 --> 00:44:28,040
Speaker 3: intense game, and you knew Kobe needed to have it

925
00:44:28,120 --> 00:44:28,440
Speaker 3: that night.

926
00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:32,879
Speaker 4: I feel like that that game took two years off

927
00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:35,560
Speaker 4: of my life and then gave me a year after
