Speaker 1: The volume.
Speaker 2: What's up, everybody, Welcome back to the Draymond Green Show.
Speaker 2: We are live on AM. It is post game seven
Speaker 2: and you have the Boston Celtics losing through the Miami
Speaker 2: Heat at home. Miami headed to the NBA Finals. Congratulations
Speaker 2: to the Miami Heat and the Denver Nuggets, two teams
Speaker 2: headed to the NBA Finals. Denver Nuggets have had an
Speaker 2: incredible season. Miami Heat has had an up and down season.
Speaker 2: But when it all said and done, it does not
Speaker 2: matter except for what you do at the end. Boston
Speaker 2: Celsius had an incredible season, but when it's all said
Speaker 2: and done, does not matter because of what you did
Speaker 2: at the end. And quite frankly, before we get into
Speaker 2: all of this, we will talk the game, we'll talk
Speaker 2: a little the final stuff.
Speaker 1: But I must say.
Speaker 2: It did not hurt me to watch the Boston Celtics
Speaker 2: fans suffer. Those people were really rude to me last year,
Speaker 2: and I like to see them suffer. Quite frankly, when
Speaker 2: I was sitting there watching the game, I was just
Speaker 2: sitting there like wow, Like the last four or five minutes,
Speaker 2: you were up eighteen points and I was just sitting
Speaker 2: there like man, like that feels so good because you
Speaker 2: got to think when you're up eighteen points, nineteen points,
Speaker 2: twenty one points, twenty three points with four minutes to go,
Speaker 2: like you're just counting down the clock.
Speaker 1: To get to the end of the game. And it's like.
Speaker 2: Every rebound you get, like every shot they missed, like
Speaker 2: it just feels good. And so as I'm sitting there
Speaker 2: watching that, I'm like, Wow, that feels amazing, Like I know,
Speaker 2: it feel amazing like and it does, and quite frankly,
Speaker 2: for the second year in a row, in a big,
Speaker 2: close out game, the Boston fans suffered. Now, as you
Speaker 2: all know, we always talk about this, we have a
Speaker 2: Boston fan who puts this show together, like, yes, I
Speaker 2: come on here, yes I talk, yes I do my thing,
Speaker 2: But the guy behind it, like making the magic really happen.
Speaker 2: It's Jackson and Jackson as you all know as a
Speaker 2: Boston Celtics fan, and Jackson, as you all could guess
Speaker 2: right now, it's heartbroken. And he's heartbroken because the Boston
Speaker 2: Celtics are who we thought they were. They got to
Speaker 2: the moment and they did not look like they were
Speaker 2: ready for the moment. All of a sudden, all the
Speaker 2: shots were short again. All of a sudden, they looked
Speaker 2: like they couldn't play basketball with their left hand again.
Speaker 2: All of a sudden, they looked like exactly who we
Speaker 2: thought they were now. Quite frankly, the first thing I said,
Speaker 2: and you can imagine what I said, right like, I'm
Speaker 2: watching them, like, wow, they looked like this game won
Speaker 2: in the regular season.
Speaker 1: Wow. They looked like they looked in the close out
Speaker 1: game last year. Wow.
Speaker 2: And so you have to, like you start to question,
Speaker 2: like does that become your mo right, like when it
Speaker 2: gets tough, what do you do? And so let's think
Speaker 2: about this, like if you think back through the series,
Speaker 2: in every game that mattered and now when I say matter,
Speaker 2: I mean mattered for them, like where the pressure was
Speaker 2: on them, like they were supposed to win they actually
Speaker 2: lost except game six, right, Like game six matter, Game
Speaker 2: six they had to win. Not sure what the odds
Speaker 2: are as far as Vegas goes, but they went and
Speaker 2: won it like they had to win. But if you
Speaker 2: think about like game one they were supposed to win,
Speaker 2: they lost, Game two, Boston was supposed to win. They
Speaker 2: lost Game three. You're like, all right, they went down,
Speaker 2: oh and two they lost two. They're down oh two,
Speaker 2: lost two games at home, so game three they're going
Speaker 2: to win, right, they have to win.
Speaker 1: They lost Game four.
Speaker 2: You down oh three, You got a free swing at
Speaker 2: it because you're supposed to lose.
Speaker 1: Then you're supposed to get swept. You're down oh to
Speaker 1: three on the road.
Speaker 2: They won, but it's actually a game they supposed to lose,
Speaker 2: so it's no pressure. Then you go back home in
Speaker 2: game five and like, yeah, you're supposed to win, but
Speaker 2: you're still down three to one, so it wins.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 2: Game six is tough, right, Like you're going in game
Speaker 2: six but you're rolling off the high of winning the
Speaker 2: last two games. But you're going into game six and
Speaker 2: you're like, all right, and quite frankly, we haven't talked
Speaker 2: about this, but they won on like a garbage buzzer
Speaker 2: beater at the last second. Give it Derek White credit,
Speaker 2: like he made the play. That's how it happened. That's
Speaker 2: how the cookie crumbles sometimes. But like they almost they
Speaker 2: gave that game away up tire with three minutes ago.
Speaker 2: Here Miami take it. They gift wrap Miami the game
Speaker 2: Derek White. Marcus Smartshot had a good look too about it.
Speaker 2: Rattle in and up, and you know, good fortune, Derek
Speaker 2: White got tipping, so you give him his credit. He
Speaker 2: also showed up tonight, by the way, he was one
Speaker 2: of the few that showed up tonight. Definitely give him
Speaker 2: his credit on tonight as well. But they actually should
Speaker 2: have lost game six. But I'm not one that I'm
Speaker 2: not one of what it could have should have. If
Speaker 2: you win, you win, you lose, you lose. Ain't know
Speaker 2: what it could have should have. We all would have
Speaker 2: if we could have, like don't matter. So they actually, however,
Speaker 2: should have lost game six, but they didn't. So you
Speaker 2: get back home new game seven, and what does everybody
Speaker 2: say up there.
Speaker 1: Going back home? Miami lost game six? It is over.
Speaker 2: I text one of my I text a friend earlier,
Speaker 2: and I told a friend earlier like I it would
Speaker 2: not shock me if Boston go out here and showed,
Speaker 2: because they're gonna go back home. They're gonna feel like,
Speaker 2: oh man, we home, and they're gonna feel like they
Speaker 2: won already. Like when I saw, like if I'm on
Speaker 2: Miami's team and I saw the way they were celebrating
Speaker 2: and like the things they were doing after game six,
Speaker 2: I'm immediately showing this to my teammates like, Yo, look
Speaker 2: at these dudes like they think they already want something,
Speaker 2: like let's go smack them, Like because they already want,
Speaker 2: they look at them like, look at their body langles.
Speaker 2: So if they think they want already, we go smack them,
Speaker 2: catch them off guard.
Speaker 1: They're toatal. So I was telling them friend earlier, like, yo.
Speaker 2: I think Miami gonna win because Boston gonna go back
Speaker 2: home and relax, because, like, let's face it, that's the
Speaker 2: type of things that Boston has done over the last
Speaker 2: couple of years, and so it does become your mo Like, now,
Speaker 2: let's get into the game and what actually happened.
Speaker 1: Number one? JT rolled his ankle on the first play.
Speaker 2: I get all of that, you know, but if you
Speaker 2: stay in the game, you stayed in the game. And
Speaker 2: JT's not the type of guy that's going to make
Speaker 2: an excuse for that. So I'm not saying he's going
Speaker 2: to make an excuse. Boston Celtics fan will make excuses,
Speaker 2: and I ain't hearing none of that shit because y'all rude,
Speaker 2: and I'm happy y'all lost. A Boston celish fan not
Speaker 2: happy JT lost, but Boston Celtics fans, especially those of
Speaker 2: you that are in that arena. I'm happy y'all lost, because, like,
Speaker 2: stop being who you are, Like, like stop being who
Speaker 2: you are. I've heard that before, but you know what
Speaker 2: I mean, Like stop being the way that y'all are.
Speaker 2: Like at some point you just can't be that way.
Speaker 2: So stop doing that. And you know what that is.
Speaker 2: I don't need to go into that, but anyway, so
Speaker 2: we know, JT I roll this ankle on the first play,
Speaker 2: didn't have a good game, wasn't quite aggressive. It was
Speaker 2: getting beat the entire game. Jaylen Brown struggled six to
Speaker 2: tweeny two from the field, eight turnovers in a game
Speaker 2: where Jason Tatums beat up. You needed a bet, You
Speaker 2: needed a better game from Jaylen Brown. Uh, you didn't
Speaker 2: get that. But I'm gonna tell you and this isn't
Speaker 2: a Jaylen Brown thing. This is this is just I
Speaker 2: told you all before. Stop with the game seven.
Speaker 1: It's over.
Speaker 2: Like game seven is game seven, and game seven brings
Speaker 2: out some of the worst in people. And I knew
Speaker 2: it would be a very tough night of a Celtic.
Speaker 2: When Al Harford shot that three from the right corner
Speaker 2: and it hit the other side bottom cushion of the backboard.
Speaker 2: That's hard to do. And like what things like that
Speaker 2: say to me, Like when you see things like that,
Speaker 2: it's like yo, getting a little tight, Like all of
Speaker 2: a sudden, that shot ain't that easy anymore. Why because
Speaker 2: it's Game seven, the lights are different, a little brighter,
Speaker 2: there's a few more eyes on the situation. It's a
Speaker 2: national holiday bunch of eyes on the situation. And when
Speaker 2: he shot that ball from the corner and that thing
Speaker 2: hit the other side of the backboard cushion, it ain't
Speaker 2: even like skinning the other side of it hit like
Speaker 2: that's a boom, Like that's a that's that type of brick.
Speaker 2: When that happened, I said, Oh, these boys are tight.
Speaker 2: So I thought Boston got really tight in the situation.
Speaker 2: And I was not shocked. I wasn't surprised because I've
Speaker 2: seen that in a situation before, up close and personal,
Speaker 2: firsthand in the guard I've seen that very thing, So
Speaker 2: I was not surprised. But in saying that, like, let's
Speaker 2: like talked about Jayleen, Like Jaylen had a tough game.
Speaker 1: Kayler Martin.
Speaker 2: Kayler Martin averaged nineteen on sixty percent shooting in forty
Speaker 2: nine percent from three. Now, Listen, I'm never mad at
Speaker 2: Jimmy Butler winning the Conference Finals MVP because Jimmy Butler
Speaker 2: is like Jimmy Butler, and quite frankly, none of this
Speaker 2: goals without Jimmy Butler, like.
Speaker 1: The Miami Heat, none of that works without Jimmy.
Speaker 2: Jimmy actually finished with twenty eight, six and seven, had
Speaker 2: a much better game today than he's had to pass
Speaker 2: three and like Jimmy is the guy we know that like,
Speaker 2: never taking anything away from Jimmy, congrats him on the war.
Speaker 2: I personally, if I had a vote, I personally was
Speaker 2: voting for Kayler Martin for MVP. I think he was
Speaker 2: extremely consistent across the board. I think he was really
Speaker 2: good across the board. And also like a part of
Speaker 2: me is like yo, Jimmy Butler, Like Jimmy Butler carries
Speaker 2: his team right, Like they've been to the Conference finals
Speaker 2: with three out of the last four years, so the
Speaker 2: thought is always that they'll get back there. And my
Speaker 2: thought with them always getting back there is like Jimmy
Speaker 2: Butler is gonna have another opportunity. Who's to say Kayler
Speaker 2: Martin will probably never have another opportunity to win an
Speaker 2: MVP award like that, and quite frankly like he earned
Speaker 2: it again first, he earned if he won. I'm not
Speaker 2: saying Jimmy shouldn't have won, so let's not do that here.
Speaker 2: I don't roll like that, not hating on anything, but
Speaker 2: he earned the right to be in that conversation, and
Speaker 2: so for me, he would have had my vote. And
Speaker 2: quite frankly, I know the type of guy that Jimmy
Speaker 2: Butler is. Jimmy actually probably would have preferred Kayleb Martin
Speaker 2: to get the MVP. That's just how Jimmy is. Like
Speaker 2: Jimmy don't want to play the All Star Games. Like Jimmy,
Speaker 2: he just don't get off on all of that stuff,
Speaker 2: Like he don't.
Speaker 1: That's just not the type of stuff. It just doesn't
Speaker 1: get Jimmy off.
Speaker 2: Like Jimmy wants to win and all of that and like, yeah,
Speaker 2: play well, obviously great, but he don't get off on
Speaker 2: all of that stuff. And I know the type of
Speaker 2: person he is and the type of teammate that Jimmy is,
Speaker 2: I think he would have actually preferred to see Caleb,
Speaker 2: one of his young fellows who he's brought up like
Speaker 2: I'm sure he would have preferred to see.
Speaker 1: Him win that award. I personally thought he deserved it.
Speaker 2: Again, not that he's just over Jimmy, but he played
Speaker 2: incredible average nineteen. Miami's adjustment was to insert him into
Speaker 2: the starting lineup. He continued that production actually up that production,
Speaker 2: having twenty one in game six and twenty six tonight
Speaker 2: in game seven, Like, do you know how hard it
Speaker 2: is for like a Caleb Martin to go out and
Speaker 2: get twenty six in game seven? It's not easy to
Speaker 2: show up in game seven. We saw that, Like we
Speaker 2: see that and saw that from another perspective, and what
Speaker 2: he's done the entire series. He's been the X factor
Speaker 2: the entire series. Defending he hit JT with a couple
Speaker 2: moves a day. I'm like, yo, he's JT j T.
Speaker 2: He hit the one way, he went baseline, came out
Speaker 2: other side right before the third expired.
Speaker 1: Like, Caleb Martin looked really good.
Speaker 2: So I don't want to take nothing from Jimmy away,
Speaker 2: take anything away from Jimmy to give Caleb Martin his flowers,
Speaker 2: But Kayler Martin deserves his flowers showing up, stepping up
Speaker 2: to the challenge the way that he did, defensively offensively
Speaker 2: type of guy he is.
Speaker 1: He's guarding JT. He's guarden Jaylen.
Speaker 2: Brown like, so he's not only doing it on the
Speaker 2: offensive end, he's doing on the defensive end too. Oh
Speaker 2: the way, I think two of the games this series
Speaker 2: he had double doubles. So he's also rebound in the
Speaker 2: basketball and so very impressed with Kayler Martin's game to
Speaker 2: see him continue to play the way he's played.
Speaker 1: Duncan Robinson has shown up.
Speaker 2: Duncan Robinson is playing well, and I thought that was
Speaker 2: huge for them. Duncan Robinson had more lay ups this
Speaker 2: series then he probably had all year. I can vividly
Speaker 2: remember Duncan Robinson having eight lay ups this series, and
Speaker 2: I'm sure he had more, like I can vividly remember eight.
Speaker 2: Duncan Robinson was incredible. Now, if you are the Celtics,
Speaker 2: what do you do next year? That's gonna be the
Speaker 2: big question, right, big question is going to be, all man,
Speaker 2: do you get Jalen the extension that he's algia before?
Speaker 1: What do you do with that? Do you trade Jalen?
Speaker 1: Do you trade Smart? What do you do? Quite frankly,
Speaker 1: I'm not one.
Speaker 2: Of like just making like these decisions just because something
Speaker 2: don't go right, because quite frankly, it takes time to
Speaker 2: build a championship team. And what's this JT's fifth year,
Speaker 2: a six year for JT, seven year for Jalen Brown.
Speaker 2: Building a championship ain't easy. We won our first championship
Speaker 2: in Steph's fifth year, But like, do that really happen?
Speaker 2: Lebron won his first championship in year.
Speaker 1: Eight nine, you're nine.
Speaker 2: Michael Jordan won his first championship in year eight seven
Speaker 2: or eight. It takes time to win a championship with
Speaker 2: these guys, I personally do all I.
Speaker 1: Can to try to keep it together.
Speaker 2: Now, you got the new rules coming into place, second
Speaker 2: apron and all of that stuff, so those decisions will
Speaker 2: be that will factor into decisions. So you got the
Speaker 2: new rules coming in the place. But I think when
Speaker 2: you find some guys that you can get there with,
Speaker 2: which they have, then you have to find pieces that
Speaker 2: you can get it done with. So you found guys
Speaker 2: that you can get there with, now find pieces that's
Speaker 2: gonna help you get it done. And by the way,
Speaker 2: that may be a leader like that can be so
Speaker 2: many different things. It can be a couple role players.
Speaker 2: I like auto Porter, like Gary Payton, nay Manya be
Speaker 2: Elisa want to Auscano Anderson Damian League, like you're finding
Speaker 2: pieces that's helping you propel you. So I'm not one
Speaker 2: to just jump off a bandwagon and be like, oh no,
Speaker 2: you break it up, because you know how hard it
Speaker 2: is to put that back together and then actually get
Speaker 2: there again. It's a very hard thing to do, which
Speaker 2: is why most people don't get there, let alone win it.
Speaker 2: So I am not of I am not one that's
Speaker 2: always on that bandwagon. I've heard people like, oh, they
Speaker 2: need leadership, they don't have a leader. And quite frankly,
Speaker 2: here's the thing that I say to those people. Or
Speaker 2: they'll say like because they don't listen to al Horford,
Speaker 2: And I tell people, I actually think they do have
Speaker 2: a leader in al Horford. I actually think they do
Speaker 2: listen to al Horford. However, I think they get to
Speaker 2: a certain point to where our Horford can no longer
Speaker 2: say like A part of leading is also like speaking
Speaker 2: from experience, like experience it or experiencing things and knowing
Speaker 2: what to draw from to get through that situation. And
Speaker 2: Al Horfer has the same finals experiences that all of
Speaker 2: those guys have, so you get to a certain point,
Speaker 2: and like, if you don't have anything to draw from,
Speaker 2: then either your guys don't necessarily feel it when you're
Speaker 2: speaking that like from that perspective, or they see through
Speaker 2: it right Like And so I don't think Al Horfer's
Speaker 2: not a leader. I don't think they don't listen to
Speaker 2: Al Horfer. They get to a certain point and like
Speaker 2: that's where Al's experience stops. So if that's where his
Speaker 2: experience stops, then where do you draw from there? And
Speaker 2: so I think it's more that than they don't have
Speaker 2: a leader. But like I said, you figure it out
Speaker 2: through pieces. You don't figure it out by abandoning everything
Speaker 2: that you've had.
Speaker 1: I just don't think that's the way to go.
Speaker 2: Just a reminder, you can catch me recording this podcast
Speaker 2: live on amp. Amp is a new live radio app
Speaker 2: that lets you call in and chat with me in
Speaker 2: person while I'm recording. Get the app on Apple's app
Speaker 2: store and make sure to follow me at at Draymond
Speaker 2: Green to get.
Speaker 1: Notified when I go live.
Speaker 2: NBA Finals Nuggets versus Heat some interesting matchups in this one,
Speaker 2: I think, I mean obviously Bam starts on Joker. Unlike
Speaker 2: last series where Ad isn't quite as comfortable out on
Speaker 2: the floor, like out in space, Bam can guard guards.
Speaker 2: So with bamgarden guards, he would be very comfortable guarding
Speaker 2: Joker in space.
Speaker 1: So whereas Joker's advantage.
Speaker 2: Was in space in the last series at the top
Speaker 2: of the key in the mid post, actually operating in space,
Speaker 2: I think that's that's actually to.
Speaker 1: BAM's advantage this series.
Speaker 2: Jokers advantage this series against Bam would be to use
Speaker 2: his size, like get as deep posts, touches as you
Speaker 2: can get.
Speaker 1: You know, trying to.
Speaker 2: Use his size and physicality as an advantage versus Bam.
Speaker 2: Because in space, BAM's fast, he's strong, he's athletic, So
Speaker 2: I think in space Bam can win that He's not
Speaker 2: as as tall as Joker, he doesn't weigh as much
Speaker 2: as Joker. Joker plays like he plays off of contact.
Speaker 2: He don't necessarily play through contact. He plays off of contact.
Speaker 2: He looks for contact for rhythm, and like, you know,
Speaker 2: if he's posting you up and you're hitting, you know,
Speaker 2: and he's backing down and you're using a lot of force,
Speaker 2: he rolls off right like, so he he plays counteracts
Speaker 2: off of physicality, and so I think with that that
Speaker 2: would then allow him to use his nimbleness because if
Speaker 2: Bam is getting super physical to come back to size,
Speaker 2: now that allows Joker, whereas he's not fastest, Bam moves
Speaker 2: latterly like Bam. Now that allows because BAM's probably leaning
Speaker 2: in to use all of his force. Now that allows
Speaker 2: him to use all of his counters And so I
Speaker 2: think that'll be a fun matchup to watch. And then
Speaker 2: I also think with Bam handling the ball as much
Speaker 2: as he do, he pulls Joker out from the rim.
Speaker 2: And now you put Joker. They run a lot of
Speaker 2: handoff stuff with Bam for threes, with those guards chasing
Speaker 2: behind im, Joker's down the floor, that can call some
Speaker 2: issues if they now start running those things and it
Speaker 2: starts to cast some issues and now Jokers starts working up.
Speaker 1: Now you get Bam in the pocket. Bam flourishes in
Speaker 1: the pocket.
Speaker 2: So I think Bam can call some issues with his
Speaker 2: ball handling and pulling Joker away from the rim and
Speaker 2: then playmaking out of that.
Speaker 1: I think that that will.
Speaker 2: Be an advantage that Bam has would the Miami, He'd
Speaker 2: be able to capitalize on that. I think with Jamal
Speaker 2: Murray they won't start Jimmy on him. I think there
Speaker 2: will be times throughout this series where Jimmy will end
Speaker 2: up on Jamal Murray. But I definitely don't think you
Speaker 2: start Jimmy on Jamal Murray is that's your adjustment. It'll
Speaker 2: be interesting to see if they stick with the same
Speaker 2: starting lineup.
Speaker 1: Caleb Martin and the start lineup.
Speaker 2: He's been playing really well well and quite frankly, that
Speaker 2: allows him to guard Jamaal Murray, So I think we
Speaker 2: would definitely see some of that. I'll see see Gabe
Speaker 2: Vincent guarding KCP and Max Strus on Michael Porter Junior.
Speaker 2: That's an important matchup. And I'll tell you why. Michael
Speaker 2: Porter Jr. Is really important to the what the Denmer
Speaker 2: Nuggets does because it's the shooting that they need and
Speaker 2: Michael Porter Jr. Most people put small defenders on Michael
Speaker 2: Porter Jr. They put smaller defenders because he's very jump
Speaker 2: shot dominant. He sometimes gets to a spot and he
Speaker 2: just raises up over the smaller defenders. This easy shot
Speaker 2: for him be that Max Streuce is a little bigger
Speaker 2: in size. I think that helps them with Michael Porter Jr.
Speaker 2: Because you do have size, he can't just get to
Speaker 2: his spot and raise up. Max Shreuz is also a
Speaker 2: little stronger than most of the smaller guys that end
Speaker 2: up on Michael Porter Juir. So I think that's actual
Speaker 2: a very important matchup to watch both of those guys
Speaker 2: shoot the three who will shoot it better, they'll probably
Speaker 2: guard each other. That'll be an interesting one to watch.
Speaker 2: I think Jimmy will start on Aaron Gordon, which is
Speaker 2: which will allow Jimmy to play defense the way he
Speaker 2: plays get in the pass and lanes floating Rome a
Speaker 2: little bit. He'll have to be physical with Aaron Gordon,
Speaker 2: which Jimmy is a very physical guy. And so I
Speaker 2: think that that's that's another match up there to watch
Speaker 2: how Jimmy's handling the physicality. Which Jimmy will handle physicality,
Speaker 2: that's what Jimmy does, I also think. But I also
Speaker 2: I think on the other end, it'll be interesting to see.
Speaker 2: But I think KCP will probably start on Jimmy. KCP
Speaker 2: is a hound, KCP is physical, But maybe you do
Speaker 2: start if if you're starting Aaron Gordon on Jimmy, see
Speaker 2: my adjustment would be Aaron Gordon. Right, But if you
Speaker 2: start Aaron Gordon on Jimmy and that doesn't work, then
Speaker 2: you go to KCP. If Jimmy has his confidence rolling
Speaker 2: because he got going on Aaron Gordon, now he's going
Speaker 2: to post KCP. He's going to try to get KCP
Speaker 2: in there and use and use his shoulder, use his
Speaker 2: size against KCP. So my adjustment, my I would rather
Speaker 2: go KCP and my adjustment b Aaron Gordon. But it
Speaker 2: would be interesting to see how they match up with that.
Speaker 2: One thing interesting about Miami lineup rolling into this NBA
Speaker 2: Finals is Tyler Heroes coming back. Now that's a very
Speaker 2: dicey thing when you've missed the amount of time that
Speaker 2: Tyler Hero has and you've gotten the rhythm that the
Speaker 2: guys have gotten into.
Speaker 1: Duncan Robinson, Gabe, Vincent, Max Strews.
Speaker 2: Kyle Lowry, all the guys off the bench, Caleb Martin, like,
Speaker 2: all of those guys are in the rhythm. So if
Speaker 2: I'm to Miami heat, some of my friends was asking me, like,
Speaker 2: what do you do with Tyler Hero?
Speaker 1: Like do you not? Do you not?
Speaker 2: Do you not bring Tyler Hero back? What do you
Speaker 2: do with Tyler Hero? And I said for me personally,
Speaker 2: I would bring him back, like he's too talented not
Speaker 2: to bring back, But I wouldn't slot him into rotation.
Speaker 1: Why wouldn't I slot him into rotation?
Speaker 2: Well, again, remember all the guys that just spoke about
Speaker 2: having a rhythm. I don't want to mess with that rhythm.
Speaker 2: So what I'm going to save Tyler hero for is
Speaker 2: is when I need a spark, Like if I need
Speaker 2: a spark, say we go down one, Oh, we go
Speaker 2: down too? Oh, we need a spark. Tyler comes in,
Speaker 2: he gets it gone. That can change everything for you.
Speaker 2: But if you go Tyler roll and it doesn't go wrong,
Speaker 2: I mean, it doesn't go right. So then do you
Speaker 2: back out of it? And if you back out of it,
Speaker 2: then when do you go back? Can you go back?
Speaker 2: Do you go back? Because naturally you're gonna be like, well,
Speaker 2: the guys we were winning with were X, Y and Z,
Speaker 2: so now we're gonna go to them. But then when
Speaker 2: do you go back? So that's why I think does
Speaker 2: the score of the series matter to you?
Speaker 1: For that?
Speaker 2: Like if the heat are down on two versus if
Speaker 2: it's one to one, or if they happen to be
Speaker 2: up too. Oh, does that impact.
Speaker 1: You're thinking, if you're up too oh, you don't. You don't.
Speaker 2: If you up too oh, you don't mess with that.
Speaker 2: If you're down oh two, if you down oh two,
Speaker 2: you definitely mess with it. And if it's one one,
Speaker 2: you don't mess with it because one one mean you
Speaker 2: went on the road and did what you're supposed to do.
Speaker 2: You went on the road and won a game. You
Speaker 2: don't go on the road to win two, although they
Speaker 2: just did. You go on the road with the idea
Speaker 2: that we have to get one of these home court advantage.
Speaker 2: So if you're one one, I still don't mess with that.
Speaker 2: It's like once you get in a desperate situation where
Speaker 2: you're like, yo, we need we need a boost, we
Speaker 2: need a shift, and and and if we can't, if
Speaker 2: if we if we can't get this boost, let's try Tyler,
Speaker 2: because we know Tyler's in is an offense.
Speaker 1: He can come in the game and get it going.
Speaker 2: But I just don't think you mess with these guys
Speaker 2: rhythm like they just made it to the NBA Finals.
Speaker 2: You're gonna mess with the rhythm now, I personally don't
Speaker 2: think that's the right thing to do. So suit him
Speaker 2: up you're here now, Well, one second, suit them up,
Speaker 2: you're ready to go. You can get in, but I'm
Speaker 2: not sure we ain't going in. Then the question bec
Speaker 2: does Tyler Hero accept that? Because you run into those
Speaker 2: issues all the time in this league, does he accept that?
Speaker 2: If he doesn't accept that, Number one, it's just kind
Speaker 2: of tough not to accept that. You're in the NBA Finals. Man,
Speaker 2: you gotta do what you have to do to win
Speaker 2: the game. So for you, stay ready, stay ready. So
Speaker 2: I hope Tyler Hero accepts that. I hope that's what
Speaker 2: the Miami do in the Miami Heat do because I
Speaker 2: think that's what gives them the best chance of winning.
Speaker 2: You've rolled this far with the guys you've been rolling with.
Speaker 2: You don't reward those guys for helping you get to
Speaker 2: the NBA Finals with Oh, by the way, your minutes
Speaker 2: are getting cut short because we're now in the NBA Finals.
Speaker 2: Going to bring Tyler Hero back, which is cutting into
Speaker 2: your minutes, So you bring Hero back if stuff goes wrong,
Speaker 2: because at the end of the day, Tyler Hero is
Speaker 2: a huge reason why you are where you are. Although
Speaker 2: he hasn't been available from a lot of playoffs, he's
Speaker 2: a huge reason why you are where you are. Brother.
Speaker 2: You still commit it. I mean, you still produce and
Speaker 2: added value to us winning this championship. Without you, we
Speaker 2: would not be here. And I hope he can understand that.
Speaker 2: Sometimes it's hard for guys to understand that, let alone
Speaker 2: younger guys, but I hope he understand that. And you know,
Speaker 2: in winning a championship, there are times where people have
Speaker 2: to sacrifice, and if you can't sacrifice, you don't win.
Speaker 2: And I think that is the Miami he sacrificed that
Speaker 2: they're going to have to make. That's where things get dicey,
Speaker 2: That's where lines get blurred, and that's where you're going
Speaker 2: to need the sacrifice. And then it'll be important for
Speaker 2: Tyler Hero to do that. Miami he have a winning culture.
Speaker 2: I think they are more than capable of having those
Speaker 2: tough conversations and what's understood is understood there, so I
Speaker 2: think it all works out in the end. I really
Speaker 2: expect a big series from Jamal Murray. I really expect
Speaker 2: a big series from Joker before we get out of here.
Speaker 2: I think the thing that makes this series more interesting
Speaker 2: than most people would think is going to be is
Speaker 2: that both teams role players have played extremely well. Which
Speaker 2: role players will play better is that we'll see. But
Speaker 2: both teams role players leading up to this have played
Speaker 2: really well, and the team role players that plays better
Speaker 2: will ultimately will ultimately be the one who takes this series.
Speaker 2: I am quite frankly, I'm still like working through this
Speaker 2: and trying to figure it all out and like looking
Speaker 2: at these different matchups and stuff. So I'm not quite
Speaker 2: sure yet who I'm ready to go with to win
Speaker 2: this series, because I'm still dissecting and looking at this
Speaker 2: thing and that thing, like there are some things for
Speaker 2: me to look at and like possible adjustment, Like I
Speaker 2: haven't gotten an opportunity like look at okay, so if
Speaker 2: this happens, this adjustment needs to happening, like the chess
Speaker 2: match that goes on that can affect this series. I
Speaker 2: haven't necessarily gotten that opportunity yet. So whether I don't
Speaker 2: think we'll do another pop before game one, and so
Speaker 2: if we don't, which I'm almost certain we won't, I
Speaker 2: will make sure I get you you all a prediction
Speaker 2: on who I think will win this series, even if
Speaker 2: it just have to go on Draymonds Show Instagram and
Speaker 2: it just be a social hit. I'll make sure I
Speaker 2: get you all a prediction before the series start. Mark
Speaker 2: my word, I'm a man of it. I got you
Speaker 2: until next time. Congratulations to the Miami Heat. Congratulations to
Speaker 2: the Denver Nuggets or advances to the NBA Finals. So
Speaker 2: Celtics fans, especially those of you that are in that
Speaker 2: arena until next time. That's a rap beast, m
