20
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 1: episode here of No Dunks. So much to talk about,

21
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:17,040
Speaker 1: so many games. We got another series to preview and predict.

22
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:19,679
Speaker 1: We had a bunch of coaching moves happening over the weekend.

23
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 1: A few more opening slots are now available, so we'll

24
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 1: get into all of it. But we'll start with Game seven.

25
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 1: Baby Clippers beat the MAVs one twenty six to one

26
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 1: eleven to win their series. Take down Luca in the MAVs.

27
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 1: They move on. They'll take on the Jazz and we'll

28
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 1: get to that in a second. But tests big takeaways

29
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:39,119
Speaker 1: from this Game seven, Well, the.

30
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 3: Clippers are a basketball team. They overcame adversity, something Paul

31
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 3: George said over and over. He said, this is a

32
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 3: different team than last season. This is a different team

33
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 3: than last season. We're all waiting for it to be

34
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 3: proven to us, right, we never really believed it. They're

35
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 3: down two. Oh, they wont four or five games, and

36
00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 3: Paul George says, they're a different team. They are a team.

37
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 3: Contributions they got from everybody on this squad. They moved

38
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 3: Reggie Jackson into the starting lineup. Reggie Jackson is a

39
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 3: baller's never looked better, averaging fifteen points a game, thirty

40
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 3: nine percent from three. They got the little spark plug

41
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,639
Speaker 3: Terrence Man coming off the bench, the first guy off

42
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 3: the bench. Even though they have veterans, I thought Tyl

43
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 3: Low's his It's just how long he waited to make

44
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 3: these changes. It was too long, but uh uh, I

45
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 3: was proven wrong. Terrence Mann's coming off the bench to

46
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 3: be that spark plug, even though they had Beverly in

47
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 3: that rotation. Nick Batoomb was put into the starting lineup

48
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 3: to be that defensive presence. He probably goes back to

49
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 3: the bench for this next series. They got Marcus Morris,

50
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:41,640
Speaker 3: Chippen and even Luke Kennard. Yeah, we just thought that

51
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 3: this team was so discombobulous, so separated, like they weren't

52
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 3: a real team last year. But all those guys I

53
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 3: just mentioned were the absolute key to them winning this

54
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:53,359
Speaker 3: game in the third quarter, going on that run at home,

55
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,360
Speaker 3: a twenty one to two run late in the third.

56
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 3: He needed all those guys to overcome Luka Doncicic his

57
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 3: forty six fricking points in this game. He was great,

58
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 3: But all those guys I mentioned are are definitely in

59
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 3: the hierarchy behind Kawhi, Leonard and Paul George Kawhi unless

60
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,800
Speaker 3: they win this series. I don't think we really respect

61
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 3: what he's done throughout the seven games because we've all

62
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 3: been talking about Luca. But when you step back and

63
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:19,920
Speaker 3: look at the numbers, now thirty two points a game,

64
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:22,800
Speaker 3: sixty one percent from the floor. He's sitting six of

65
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 3: every ten shots. This is the robot machine that they

66
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 3: signed from the Toronto Raptors at forty five percent from

67
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 3: three in Game seven. You have to kind of go

68
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 3: through the whole box score to appreciate what Kawhi Leonard did.

69
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 3: Twenty eight points, ten boards, nine assist, four steals. He

70
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 3: only took fifteen shots to get those twenty eight points,

71
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 3: but he hit ten of them because he is a robot.

72
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 3: And then Paul George is clearly the number two. They

73
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 3: know who they are. He averaged twenty three points, nine boards,

74
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 3: and six assists in this series. They've got a squad

75
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 3: and they clearly should feel like they have as good

76
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 3: a chance as anyone in the Final eight to make

77
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 3: the NBA Finals and to win that thing, because, as

78
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 3: David Aldridge pointed out, the four teams in the Western

79
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 3: Conference have no ever won a championship. The four teams

80
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 3: left of the the Nuggets, the Suns, the Clippers, and

81
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 3: the Jazz, and then the four teams in the East,

82
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 3: well they basically haven't won it since the eighties. You know,

83
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 3: the Sixers won in the eighties, the Hawks won it

84
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 3: in the fifties, the Bucks won it in the seventies

85
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 3: and the Brooklyn Nest franchises never won it. So this

86
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 3: is wide open, baby. The Clippers got to feel great

87
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:20,039
Speaker 3: going into round two.

88
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, it felt like they sort of played in near

89
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 1: perfect Game seven. Ley, Like when you look at it,

90
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 1: they were perfect at the line, I know you like

91
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 1: that twenty four to twenty four, shot forty six percent

92
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 1: from on threes, and they were a great three point

93
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,720
Speaker 1: shooting term the team during the regular season, fifty percent

94
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 1: from the floor overall, only eight turnovers two and like

95
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 1: task took us through. Everybody contributed. I don't I'm like

96
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 1: hard pressed to find somebody that sort of didn't really

97
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 1: step up and helped the Clippers win that Game seven,

98
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 1: And they've got to feel pretty good, you know, escaping,

99
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 1: coming back whatever you want to call it against Dallas

100
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:52,599
Speaker 1: to move on here against the Jazz.

101
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:56,159
Speaker 2: Yogi Ferrell did nothing last night? Ye for Yogi Ferrell

102
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 2: thirty seven seconds A big oh for everybody else though,

103
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 2: I'm one hundred percent with you.

104
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 3: What about cousins, cousins ruthless?

105
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:05,839
Speaker 2: Ye step it up a mirror coffee.

106
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:08,839
Speaker 4: Let's go back to Friday Night Game six, when Kawhi

107
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,719
Speaker 4: Leonard was incredible in that game as well. You know,

108
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 4: I think that's really that was obviously the chance the

109
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 4: Mavericks had. I thought it went seven. I thought it's

110
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 4: just not going to be a Hobo sweep. I think

111
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 4: the Clippers had enough. But in that third quarter, the

112
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 4: MAVs had that five point lead and it was like, wow,

113
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 4: maybe they can do this. But that's when the Mavericks

114
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,159
Speaker 4: basically stopped scoring and the Clippers just went on a roll.

115
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 4: Reggie Jackson was great, Marcus Morris was great, and they

116
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 4: put the game out of reach. And you know, last

117
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 4: week I did my top five performances in a loss

118
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 4: in a playoffs. I think I'm going to have to

119
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:38,480
Speaker 4: do it again this week, just for Luka Doncic, because

120
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 4: you know, when he puts up numbers like that and

121
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 4: the team, you know, loses, it must be so frustrating.

122
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 4: And I think when you look at this series, they

123
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 4: were down, they led two zero on the road, they

124
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 4: were up three to two, and they don't give anything

125
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 4: to show for it. He's got to be incredibly frustrated

126
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:55,600
Speaker 4: with his teammates because he got bits and pieces performance

127
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 4: from a lot of guys, but the biggest one and

128
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 4: the biggest question going forward for the Mavericks is pausingis

129
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:03,839
Speaker 4: I just he statistically had an okay game yesterday, but

130
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,720
Speaker 4: this series he was dreadful. You know, he didn't really

131
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,160
Speaker 4: do enough. He couldn't score well enough, he couldn't rebound,

132
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 4: He wasn't a presence for them, and that if you're

133
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 4: Mark Cuban and the Mavericks is like, Okay, Pauzingis is

134
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 4: not really the guy we can't rely and we can't

135
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 4: trust him. He's either injured or he just doesn't perform.

136
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 4: He didn't step up really at any point in this

137
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 4: series to show that he could be a reliable option.

138
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 4: Doncic was just incredible, but in the end he just

139
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 4: ran out of options. He was doing so much. And

140
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:32,160
Speaker 4: the Clippers, you know, Tyler certainly leaned into his starters

141
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 4: a lot more in this series, or his five players

142
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:36,839
Speaker 4: he wanted he would sort of really tighten that bench up.

143
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,480
Speaker 4: I know Canada and Terrence Man got missed yesterday, but

144
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 4: that was basically it. He had basically went seven deep,

145
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 4: and that's going to be a question for him going forward,

146
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 4: like how much of a wear and tearror is it

147
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,279
Speaker 4: going to take on your players? But they won the series,

148
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 4: and that's what you have to do, just advance and

149
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 4: then figure it all out as you go on. But

150
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 4: Kawhi Leonard really did step up and answer some questions,

151
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:57,719
Speaker 4: because after those first two games, it was like, maybe

152
00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 4: this Clippers team is going to be a disaster again

153
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 4: and get swept out of the playoffs. But instead they responded.

154
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 4: And it starts with their legit superstar Kawhi Leonard, who

155
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 4: was brilliant, and then Paul George got it together as well.

156
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:11,679
Speaker 4: I'm not really talking about Paul George as much this series,

157
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 4: because he was pretty good, even though he was kind

158
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 4: of quiet ish, you know, but it wasn't That's the

159
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 4: way Paul George wants to be, not that sort of disaster,

160
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 4: you know, pandemic p that he'd been labeled with, certainly

161
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 4: down to the bubble. And after the first two games

162
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 4: of this series, so well done to the Clippers, Well

163
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 4: done to Tylo. They stayed in it and they advance.

164
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're only the fifth team in NBA history to

165
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 1: lose the first two games at home and come back

166
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 1: to win a playoff series. That does not happen all

167
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 1: that often. Tyleru, it's his fourth game seventh victory as

168
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 1: a coach too. This guy's money in the clutch coaching

169
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 1: them up. But yeah, I want to get into the porzingis.

170
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 1: I don't know, Lee, if you've had a chance to

171
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 1: fire up the trade machine and try and move KP.

172
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 1: But before we get to that anything from the actual

173
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 1: game of the Clippers moving on in this series trade.

174
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 2: I just wish lear JD was wearing a top hat

175
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 2: right now because he really got an hit. Your cap

176
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 2: to the Clippers coming back from down two and down

177
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 2: three to two. That's impressive, especially considering the way things

178
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 2: went for the Clippers last year blowing three to one lead.

179
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 2: It was very funny to see the different reactions on Twitter,

180
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 2: you know, after they were down oh two, like this

181
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 2: Clippers team will never learn. This team is a joke

182
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 2: of a franchise. They won their Game seven yesterday and

183
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 2: very quickly it turned to maybe overcoming this adversity is

184
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 2: what it takes for the Clippers to become one of

185
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 2: the greatest teams in the NBA. Maybe they're the favorites

186
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 2: in the Western Conference. I don't know. Kawhi was awesome

187
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 2: in Game six and seven, and like you're saying, Lee.

188
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:39,439
Speaker 2: We're not talking much about Paul George, but that's just

189
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 2: because Kui is overshadowing him a little. Because Paul George

190
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 2: I thought was great in Game six and seven at

191
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 2: the beginning of the fourth quarter. Yeah, keeping the Clippers attached,

192
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 2: keeping the scoreboard ticking over. And then when Kawhi comes back,

193
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 2: he obviously is the number one there and he's been

194
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 2: putting the team on his back, looking like nineteen ninety

195
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 2: eight Michael Jordan all over again, just throwing guys off

196
00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 2: him in the lane for his little shots to some

197
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 2: of those guys. Plus the energy that Terrence Mann brought

198
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:04,840
Speaker 2: off the bench, the small lineup that Tylu went to.

199
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:06,959
Speaker 2: He made a lot of right calls in this one,

200
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 2: including being right about road court advantage until the very

201
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:15,559
Speaker 2: last second when the Clippers outshot the Mavericks twenty to

202
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 2: ten from three point line. Great mind games by ty

203
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 2: Lu convincing the Clippers that they were going to be

204
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 2: able to shoot well in the Staples Center. Not in

205
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:25,560
Speaker 2: Game seven, everything changed.

206
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,440
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, let's talk about the Mavericks here, because

207
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 1: I don't think I don't know how many people realize

208
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 1: that they haven't won a playoff series since they won

209
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 1: the title back in twenty eleven, which is just I mean,

210
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:37,440
Speaker 1: it's a weird thing to wrap your head around because

211
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:39,719
Speaker 1: they've obviously had like pretty good teams still and they're

212
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. They just keep coming up short in

213
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 1: the first round, and you know, haven't been drastic changes

214
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 1: because Riccolo of course is still a coach, and Cuban saying, yeah,

215
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 1: we're not moving off of him. You know, he's going

216
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 1: to be a lifer here as long as he wants

217
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:52,560
Speaker 1: in the sort of in the rain of Popovich there.

218
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 1: But if you're the MAVs and you are Cuban and

219
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 1: the front office tasks, how realistically are you looking at

220
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 1: trying to trade Kristaps Porzingis? Are you calling everyone you

221
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 1: can to see if you can get something else in return,

222
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 1: or are you like, okay, we can this guy can

223
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:10,440
Speaker 1: get better. He can be the second option. You still

224
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:12,080
Speaker 1: believe in him, you know you gave up a decent

225
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:14,440
Speaker 1: amount to get him. What do you do or do

226
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 1: you try? And you don't pick up those phones in

227
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,679
Speaker 1: your workup rightly, Jesus know what's going on?

228
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 3: Weggie shirt on Aggie in his throat right now.

229
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:25,720
Speaker 1: I just keep seeing you mute and unmute, but every

230
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 1: time you actually are unmuted your coffee. Are you all right?

231
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 3: All right?

232
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 1: Anyway? Kp tass, What do you do with him?

233
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 3: Well, you can, you can pray to the basketball gods

234
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 3: that there's somebody who would be willing to take him.

235
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:40,440
Speaker 3: The fact is, yeah, they went away from him as

236
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 3: a number two option this year's carlile I thought that

237
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:44,679
Speaker 3: was the best way to try and win Luca and

238
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 3: everybody else, Luca and basically Tim Hardaway as the number

239
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:50,679
Speaker 3: two guy. That has become the Tim Hardaway trade now

240
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 3: getting Kristops Warsing. It's in Tim Hardaway from New York.

241
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 3: It's not that Kristaps warzingis trade anymore. What do you do?

242
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 3: You go in the off season and because he's so untradable,

243
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:03,440
Speaker 3: theasically try and talk to him and say you are

244
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 3: our number two guy. Go through basically a physical workout

245
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 3: schedule that tries to get him as healthy as possible,

246
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 3: because that's the other big question is he is he

247
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:16,440
Speaker 3: just fit enough? His knees fit enough. But you know,

248
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 3: I'm concerned with Christaps Porzingian's he even wanting to be

249
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 3: there because after he made up his mind that he

250
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 3: didn't want to be in New York Knick anymore. He

251
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 3: was done. And I'm kind of in that boat right now,

252
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 3: where if there's even part of him that doesn't want

253
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:32,440
Speaker 3: to be there, then yeah, they got to try and

254
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 3: move off of him because he's not going to feel

255
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 3: like he's the number two guy, and he's not going

256
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 3: to work as hard as he possibly should off the

257
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:40,680
Speaker 3: court because he has to do that physically to be

258
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 3: a number two guy. But yeah, thirty plus each year

259
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 3: for the next three years, that's a lot of bucks.

260
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:48,839
Speaker 3: No contract is untradable.

261
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 2: Zero.

262
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,839
Speaker 3: We just saw John Wall trader for Russell Westbrook and

263
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 3: everyone claiming that John Wall contract was untradable. But I

264
00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:00,560
Speaker 3: don't know right now as we talk about itel pretty

265
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 3: freaking untradeable. But I guess there's I guess there's something

266
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 3: out there. I just don't I just don't know if

267
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 3: he's gonna try and buy into being that number two

268
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 3: guy and there's a chance that could work.

269
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, you want a silver lining. The silver lining is

270
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 2: that this is the first time in Porzingis's career that

271
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:19,080
Speaker 2: he's ending a season healthy. He has gone out with

272
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 2: the season ending injury and every single one of his

273
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:24,840
Speaker 2: six seasons except for the season that he missed with injuries.

274
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:28,320
Speaker 2: So I mean, if you're the Mavericks, yeah, maybe you

275
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 2: can find a trade in the off season. But if not,

276
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 2: maybe Porzingis actually gets an offseason to get in the

277
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 2: weight room and squat so he can score over a

278
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 2: guy that's a foot shorter than him. That would be impressive.

279
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:40,320
Speaker 2: Like if he just gets a nice turnaround jumper that

280
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:43,720
Speaker 2: you can punish small lineups, that would be humongous for

281
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:46,200
Speaker 2: the Dallas Mavericks. And then he comes back next season,

282
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 2: has a good couple of months, and the trade value

283
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:50,559
Speaker 2: is a little bit up at the trade deadline. I

284
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 2: would say the other thing that the Mavericks need to

285
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 2: go to the next level is Dungeus has got to

286
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 2: be in better shape. To be quite honest, you see

287
00:12:58,040 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 2: all of these stats. Look at his first quarter scoring,

288
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 2: second quarter scoring, his third quarter scoring, his fourth quarter scoring.

289
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:05,680
Speaker 2: Part of that's defense, no doubt about how part of

290
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:07,839
Speaker 2: it is him wearing down from carrying the offense the

291
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 2: whole time. But look at what Jokic did. This is

292
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:12,560
Speaker 2: the exact same conversation we had with Jokich, is he

293
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 2: in good shape? Is he in the best shape he

294
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 2: could be? He was not until this season. Now he's

295
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 2: an MVP. He's done it from November until June. At

296
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:22,839
Speaker 2: this point, Don just has got to do the same thing.

297
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:25,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's gonna be interesting. You would think that, by

298
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:27,439
Speaker 1: all accounts, they're going to try and bring back him

299
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 1: hardaway Junior Lee, And like Tess said, why wouldn't you.

300
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:32,440
Speaker 1: He was the best player in that trade with the Knicks.

301
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 1: He's been better than Porzing, especially when you're of course

302
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:36,440
Speaker 1: looking at the dollar value that he's given you. But

303
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 1: he's gonna, you know, warrant a pretty pretty good pay increase.

304
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:43,040
Speaker 1: And rightfully so, Josh Richardson did not work out that

305
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 1: one was you know, I was high on that. I

306
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 1: was loving that deal. It made so much sense. You know,

307
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 1: a defensive minded guy put by Luca can still hit

308
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 1: the three. He was horrible. I mean he barely He

309
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:54,440
Speaker 1: wasn't even playing at this point in this series was DMP.

310
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 1: So I don't know if he's still there and he's

311
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:58,440
Speaker 1: gonna I mean, I think he's got an option for

312
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:01,199
Speaker 1: that he'll likely pick up. It's not huge because he's

313
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 1: on a decent deal. But he's got to be better.

314
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 1: But I mean, you're trying to trade KP, and I

315
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 1: think there would be teams that could talk themselves into poorzingis.

316
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:10,560
Speaker 1: For sure, he's only twenty six. He's not even twenty six.

317
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:13,200
Speaker 1: He's turning twenty six this summer, so he's still fairly young.

318
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:15,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe maybe they want Lowry markin and the next

319
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:17,200
Speaker 2: Christaff's POORSINGI.

320
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 1: Well, what about the Pacers? Could the Pacers? Could there

321
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 1: be something? And you're really switching it up with what

322
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 1: you're doing for a big for a big, but a

323
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 1: Miles Turner type of deal? Could he come to Dallas?

324
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 1: Would that work better?

325
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 2: Uh?

326
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 1: You know, having a defensive minded guy instead of what

327
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 1: KP was giving them. Is there something around you know,

328
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 1: Turner and a Lamb and maybe some picks for a KP.

329
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 1: There's also people saying, what about the Blazers. You know,

330
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 1: we talked about them. They got to go blow it

331
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 1: up and trade off somebody. Is there a way you

332
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 1: get Porzingis to the Blazers lead? I mean, you're look,

333
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 1: it's got to be like a sign and trade with

334
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 1: Norman Powell. I mean he's McCallum and volved like it's

335
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 1: all these things, and I don't really love it from

336
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 1: the Maverick side of things. But anyway, have you fired

337
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 1: up the trading scene because you've talked a lot about

338
00:14:57,960 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 1: KP and you're not a fan of this.

339
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 4: No, I've really gone off him because I just feel

340
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 4: in a situation and a series like this, there was

341
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 4: an opportunity for him to at least sort of put

342
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 4: his stamp on the game. He gets into that high

343
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 4: post and Astre's mentioned there, guys can't block that shot,

344
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 4: so shoot it, you know. But bobarn Now played him

345
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 4: in the last couple of games in this series, and

346
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 4: bobarn at least made himself a presence there. And that's

347
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 4: that's really a bad indictment on Christaps Porzingis because okay,

348
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 4: rebound the ball. He averaged five rebounds a game for

349
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 4: this series. Put yourself somewhere in a position where you

350
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 4: are actually impacting the game. If your SHOT's not, they're fine.

351
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 4: That doesn't always drop, but just be there, can test shots.

352
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:35,600
Speaker 4: They don't really have a big presence at all the Clippers.

353
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 4: Go in there and make sure you're getting put backs,

354
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 4: make sure you're setting screens, make sure you're just doing

355
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 4: something to impact the game, and I just didn't think

356
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 4: he was anywhere near aggressive enough. And that's the concern.

357
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 4: I've seen Mark Cuban on Shark Tank when he gets angry,

358
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 4: he's out of a deal straight away. I bet you

359
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 4: right now if he could, he would say, Paorzingis, I'm out,

360
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:53,480
Speaker 4: You're out of here, and he would just take his chances. Look,

361
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 4: the Mavericks are incredibly lucky because Luka Doncic has one

362
00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 4: year left on his rookie deal. Now they can sign

363
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 4: him to that Superman or Rookie Max extension, which of

364
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:04,560
Speaker 4: course they go into without even thinking about it, but

365
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 4: that doesn't kick in until the following season. So they

366
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 4: do get lucky in that they can sign Tim hardaway

367
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 4: I think next season to a pretty juicy contract and

368
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 4: it won't cost him too much. And the guy you

369
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 4: mentioned as well, josh Richards, and it's eleven and a

370
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 4: half million player option. I think he's picking that up. Joshua. Yeah,

371
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 4: I don't think there's a huge mark of for him.

372
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 4: He hasn't been all that consistent there, So the Mavericks

373
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 4: get lucky in that sense that they can probably keep him.

374
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 4: But yeah, Pausing's three years and one hundred million. True,

375
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 4: there's no untradable contract. But I don't think any teams

376
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 4: right now are going to give up a ton to

377
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 4: get him. They will take a flyer on him if

378
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 4: the Mavericks are prepared to sell low on him, but

379
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 4: I don't think. I don't think any team's going to

380
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 4: give up a ton for him because he just hasn't

381
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 4: shown that he's really able to take that next step up.

382
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 4: I mean, he had a bad, bad series, and there's

383
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 4: really no excuse. Last year, in those three games before

384
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 4: he got injured, he was actually playing okay down in

385
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 4: the bubble. This year, he got a full series, really

386
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 4: did get the opportunity to show what he could do.

387
00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:00,920
Speaker 4: In those losses, he was bad in the wins, not

388
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 4: much better, and that really just shows that it's not

389
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:05,359
Speaker 4: like at any point it's like, Wow, he had that

390
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:07,400
Speaker 4: thirty five point game, that's what they need to see.

391
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 3: For more of him.

392
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:10,000
Speaker 4: He was just ordinary the whole series, and I think

393
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:12,480
Speaker 4: that's bad for him and bad for the Mavericks. And yes,

394
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:14,360
Speaker 4: the Mavericks will be looking to deal him. I think

395
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:16,920
Speaker 4: understanding they're probably getting back pennies on the dollar for

396
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 4: him in terms of what you know you expect from

397
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:20,680
Speaker 4: a guy like that and what we saw in New York.

398
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 4: But at this point you can't go forward with him

399
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:25,440
Speaker 4: and Doncic. It's just not going to work.

400
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 1: Wow, this guy's giving up.

401
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:31,399
Speaker 2: Well, I Doly, I'm kind of with you, especially with

402
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 2: the way that we've seen things go down with the

403
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:36,880
Speaker 2: Trail Blazers, where they just kept rolling out the same

404
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,359
Speaker 2: team year after year after year. They had the great

405
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 2: run to the Western Conference finals, but it's like you're

406
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 2: rolling a team out there that you know is going

407
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 2: to be bad at defense. You can't do that in

408
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 2: the Western Conference. So why would you waste the majority

409
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 2: of Dancic's prime when you do hopefully make a move here.

410
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:53,639
Speaker 2: You don't want to. You don't want to be in

411
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 2: the Blazer situation where you're like, how do we improve

412
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 2: this team so that our star actually wants to stick around,

413
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:00,879
Speaker 2: because that's where the blame there's are at right now.

414
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:04,240
Speaker 2: And if you keep your superstar anchored to a not

415
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:07,159
Speaker 2: quite good enough second star, it's easy for Dallas end

416
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:07,720
Speaker 2: up there as well.

417
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:10,960
Speaker 1: Well, let's pivot here to the to the series that

418
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 1: we now have, the final one that's locked in tasks.

419
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 1: It's the Jazz and the Clippers. They get started very soon,

420
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 1: right is it Tuesday night? It's just one game off

421
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 1: for the Clippers as they go right into the series

422
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:27,159
Speaker 1: in Utah, which which could be difficult. Maybe that'll have

423
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:29,400
Speaker 1: an impact on Game one. We'll see this tight turnaround

424
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:31,399
Speaker 1: and playing in an altitude there. But let's get to

425
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:34,560
Speaker 1: the keys to the series one four matchup. It's chalk

426
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:37,119
Speaker 1: out West, just like everybody expected. No, I'm just kidding.

427
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:39,639
Speaker 1: What's your key to the series task? Get start a

428
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:40,359
Speaker 1: Jazz clips?

429
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, quite the series, Clippers Jazz. I'm really looking forward

430
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 3: to Rudy Gobert's impact on the series on both ends

431
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:52,360
Speaker 3: because Kawhi he struggled against the Utah Jazz since he's

432
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 3: become a Los Angeles Clipper the last two seasons, his

433
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:58,879
Speaker 3: worst numbers are against the Utah Jazz, and Rudy Gobert

434
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,879
Speaker 3: obviously a big, big, big part of that. John Schuman

435
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:05,280
Speaker 3: with great stats on NBA dot Com revealing how Kawai

436
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:09,359
Speaker 3: struggling everywhere where he likes to shoot against the Jazz

437
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 3: these last two seasons. So Rudy has got to be very,

438
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 3: very big. Although the Clippers comment off seven games and

439
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 3: most recently last couple of games against Boban Marianovitch. So

440
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:22,960
Speaker 3: they understand that maybe they can't go into the rim.

441
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 3: I can't so like Rudy Gobar is going to be

442
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 3: around there. They weren't really going at Boban. The MAVs

443
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,879
Speaker 3: were happy to play zone. So maybe maybe this these

444
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 3: last few games have given them a little bit of

445
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 3: a template to stay away from Rudy, and then Rudy

446
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:40,159
Speaker 3: on the other end, he's that's that's their advantage right there.

447
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 3: Go Bear's got to stay on the floor to me

448
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:46,720
Speaker 3: for his offensive gravity, because that's how the Utah's three

449
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:48,879
Speaker 3: point shooters are going to get hot. If Go Bear

450
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 3: is in there doing his dunking. But if if he

451
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:54,680
Speaker 3: gets off the floor, he's probably going to be, you know,

452
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 3: matched up with Vitza Zubats, probably back in the starting

453
00:19:57,800 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 3: line if he's back or if he goes off the floor.

454
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:03,879
Speaker 3: I think the Clippers, they just played against Luka daancicin

455
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 3: a bunch of three point shooters, I think they'll be

456
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:09,119
Speaker 3: ready to get out there and guard those guys. But

457
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:12,399
Speaker 3: if Rudy pulls them away a little bit, that'll be important.

458
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:14,359
Speaker 3: I think Serge Ibaka could play a factor in this

459
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:17,359
Speaker 3: series if he is healthy to bring Rudy away from

460
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 3: the hoop a little bit neutralize them. And if Surge

461
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 3: isn't healthy, I do think we're going to see some

462
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:25,359
Speaker 3: DeMarcus Cousins out there in backup minutes to bang, you know,

463
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 3: whether it's Rudy Gobert or Derek Favors. So Kawhi clearly

464
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:32,880
Speaker 3: the best player in that first round series. He overcame,

465
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 3: He overcame Luca in a in a way, contributing like

466
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:40,680
Speaker 3: everywhere on the floor. And now he's I think, you know,

467
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:42,480
Speaker 3: you can debate that whether he was the best player

468
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 3: against Lukovan. Now he is the best player on the

469
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 3: floor over over Donovan Mitchell. So it's gonna have to

470
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:50,680
Speaker 3: be guys from everywhere for the Jazz, and it starts,

471
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:52,359
Speaker 3: I think with Rudy as they're sort of their second

472
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:55,440
Speaker 3: best guy to make things go a little bit, to

473
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:59,280
Speaker 3: try and overcome that deficiency they have, that deficit they

474
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:01,200
Speaker 3: have with the best player on the floor. This Gawhy

475
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 3: is a robot, but will he still continue to be

476
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:04,200
Speaker 3: a robot against Rudy.

477
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm fascinating to see what Lou does here, Trey,

478
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:08,680
Speaker 1: because some people are like, this is a nice little

479
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 1: trial run against the MAVs here with now your next

480
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 1: series against Gobert and how they did it, and like, look,

481
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:16,359
Speaker 1: Kawi operates in the mid range and they obviously like

482
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:18,120
Speaker 1: to let it fly from three. One of the best

483
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 1: three point shooting teams we've seen in a long time.

484
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:22,480
Speaker 1: So yeah, maybe there's spots will be there and they

485
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:24,920
Speaker 1: got some experience there and they leaned into going small.

486
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:27,520
Speaker 1: Will they do that from game one? Right from the jump?

487
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 1: Will the Clippers just continue to play you know, quote

488
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 1: unquote small here and try and play Gobart off the floor?

489
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:33,680
Speaker 1: Will that work?

490
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:36,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, It's going to be very interesting to see if

491
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 2: Gobert is able to stick on the court. Obviously, Gobert

492
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 2: is a lot better than Boban is as a player

493
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:44,240
Speaker 2: on both ends of the court. But Boban had an impact,

494
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 2: I thought for the Mavericks just being the hugest guy

495
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:48,560
Speaker 2: out there where you know, he can get the ball

496
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:51,160
Speaker 2: and basically the other guys can't reach it at that point.

497
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:53,440
Speaker 2: So yeah, I mean, if Gobert is able to stay

498
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:56,440
Speaker 2: on the floor, I think it's reasonable to expect like

499
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:59,399
Speaker 2: an eighteen and fifteen kind of season from our series

500
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:01,680
Speaker 2: from Gobert. If he's just rolling to the rim, hitting

501
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:04,440
Speaker 2: the glass, putting back the putbacks. And if that's the case,

502
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:06,159
Speaker 2: then the Clippers are going to be in trouble because

503
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:08,879
Speaker 2: it would be very easy for the Clippers to turn

504
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:12,960
Speaker 2: into a jump shooting team against the Jazz. And maybe

505
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 2: that works out for the Clippers. You know, they shot

506
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 2: forty one percent from three during the regular season. The

507
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 2: Jazz obviously a great three point shooting team as well,

508
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:23,600
Speaker 2: But there were times I thought in the Mavericks series

509
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:27,080
Speaker 2: where having Porzingis out there, having Boban out there, it

510
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 2: just kind of took a little aggression away from the Clippers.

511
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:32,960
Speaker 2: And if just having Gobert out there is gonna have

512
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:35,440
Speaker 2: that sort of influence, that would be humongous for the Jazz.

513
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, and go Beart is the backbone of the Jazz defense.

514
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:40,240
Speaker 1: But a lot of attention in this series Lee is

515
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:43,320
Speaker 1: gonna go to Royce O'Neill, probably Joe Ingles at times,

516
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:45,440
Speaker 1: maybe on matchups with Paul George, like guys like that,

517
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:49,160
Speaker 1: Like can these guys contain the stars on the Clippers

518
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:50,800
Speaker 1: and at least try and keep them in check and

519
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 1: then yeah, I mean it's all it's a team defense,

520
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:54,920
Speaker 1: don't get me wrong, and especially with Gobert and what

521
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:58,119
Speaker 1: he does and funneling guys to him. But Royce O'Neil

522
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 1: especially has to have like the series of life here,

523
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:02,920
Speaker 1: I think, and you know, maybe you will start hearing

524
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:04,960
Speaker 1: the casual fail start learning his name a little bit

525
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 1: because he is a great defender. But my god, the

526
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:08,399
Speaker 1: way Kawhi is locked in right now, good luck with that.

527
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:10,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, no one's going to stop Kawhi. The

528
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:12,480
Speaker 4: Clippers have the best player in the series, Kawhi Leonard.

529
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:15,119
Speaker 4: He showed that in that last series. But the Jazz

530
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:17,879
Speaker 4: do defend players and teams pretty well. They've done that

531
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:19,680
Speaker 4: all season. They're a deep team and they get out

532
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:22,119
Speaker 4: and stop that three pointer. So that is going to

533
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:23,879
Speaker 4: be tough. I don't have any concerns that Gobert is

534
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:25,160
Speaker 4: going to be played off the floor. I think you're

535
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:27,359
Speaker 4: just too dominant, and I think if you're the Jazz,

536
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 4: you try to make him impactful on both ends and

537
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:31,280
Speaker 4: make the Clippers work because they don't really have a

538
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:33,560
Speaker 4: big who can stop him. I mean, Zubats is not

539
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:35,080
Speaker 4: going to be able to do it. I don't think so.

540
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:38,159
Speaker 4: I think the Jazz have a big advantage there in

541
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 4: the middle.

542
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:39,199
Speaker 1: And go Beer.

543
00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:41,720
Speaker 4: We know, like if they pull him out, that's okay,

544
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:44,399
Speaker 4: because it's not like they've got terrible perimeter defenders, you

545
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 4: know that. And the Jazz, you know, excuse me, the

546
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:49,840
Speaker 4: Clippers against the Mavericks, they could go inside and penetrate

547
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:51,919
Speaker 4: and score because there wasn't that great interior defense. That's

548
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:54,000
Speaker 4: not going to be the case here for the Jazz,

549
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:56,119
Speaker 4: and they're at home, they're fresh, they rested. The only

550
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 4: real concern is Mike Mike Conley's hamstring. You know, he

551
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:02,280
Speaker 4: left the last of the Grizzly series with a tweak.

552
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 4: They said it was the same hamstring, but the fact

553
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:06,440
Speaker 4: that this series went seven gave him a couple of

554
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:09,439
Speaker 4: extra days there to rest. So I think that's interesting.

555
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:10,920
Speaker 4: I don't think they've sort of said whether or not

556
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:13,119
Speaker 4: he is playing in Game one, But if you're the

557
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:15,359
Speaker 4: Jazz and you're at full strength, I think their defense

558
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:17,359
Speaker 4: is going to be very, very tough with the Clippers.

559
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:20,359
Speaker 4: Of course, the Clippers do have good offensive talent, so

560
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 4: it's going to be a bit of an arm wrestle

561
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 4: in that sense. Like that but I think this is

562
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:28,000
Speaker 4: really shaping up to be a fascinating series because the

563
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:31,520
Speaker 4: Clippers have come off a tough, tough series where Tyler

564
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:35,160
Speaker 4: really did shorten that rotation they got through. Now will

565
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:37,240
Speaker 4: that be a factor? Does that come into play a bit?

566
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 4: Does TYLERU have to deep to dig into his bench

567
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:41,480
Speaker 4: a little bit here more and trust some of those guys.

568
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:44,560
Speaker 4: Patrick Beverley's basically been played out of the rotation and

569
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:46,920
Speaker 4: they need They're going to need someone like him to

570
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 4: at least come in and give them some decent minutes

571
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:51,240
Speaker 4: in this series, because the one of the biggest strengths

572
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:54,639
Speaker 4: the Jazz has. They play nine players and they pretty

573
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:57,159
Speaker 4: much everyone out there can do the same job. I mean,

574
00:24:57,320 --> 00:25:00,320
Speaker 4: obviously go Baart and Favors don't shoot the threes and parks,

575
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:02,040
Speaker 4: and for not a great defender, but he gives them

576
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 4: a lot on the offensive end. So there's just so

577
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:07,720
Speaker 4: much of that interchanging roles there for the Jazz that works,

578
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 4: I think to their advantage in this series.

579
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 1: So you need the Clippers bench to show up again

580
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:14,159
Speaker 1: here in a couple of these games for you.

581
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:17,440
Speaker 4: Ter Chances like Lukenard was great yesterday, Teri's man was

582
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:19,960
Speaker 4: great for them, but that was all Tyler really trusted

583
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:21,920
Speaker 4: from his bench. Rondo kind of got played out of

584
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:23,440
Speaker 4: this series a little bit, and he was brought in

585
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:26,200
Speaker 4: to give that bench unit some boosts, and so I

586
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 4: expect he's going to get some more minutes to certainly

587
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:30,680
Speaker 4: early in this series, simply because, as I said before,

588
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:33,080
Speaker 4: Paul George and Kawhi Leond had played forty minutes in

589
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 4: every game in that last series except for the blowout,

590
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 4: which was Game four when they won by thirty five

591
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:38,280
Speaker 4: or something like.

592
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:40,399
Speaker 1: That's why your superstars should do though, No, no, that's

593
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 1: one hundred Percody should send that to Boonenhors. Yeah, let's

594
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:46,679
Speaker 1: leave that one. But no, that's right.

595
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 4: In the playoffs, your starters and you stars should play

596
00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:52,680
Speaker 4: heavy minute's no question about it. But there's also after

597
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 4: a tough seven game series and now you're going up

598
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:57,639
Speaker 4: against the best team from the regular season, at some

599
00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:00,840
Speaker 4: point you think that has to be effector in the series.

600
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:02,280
Speaker 4: You know, if it goes long. But I guess if

601
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:03,960
Speaker 4: it goes long, that's good for the Clippers as well.

602
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:07,320
Speaker 4: But who is that one that Tylo can trust to

603
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:09,880
Speaker 4: come out and play some steady minutes Luke come On, didn't.

604
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:11,400
Speaker 4: I don't think he saw many minutes in the first

605
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 4: two or three games of this series. But in the

606
00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:14,639
Speaker 4: Indie came out and played well in Game seven. So

607
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:15,320
Speaker 4: that's great for you.

608
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:18,240
Speaker 1: All right, Trey, what's your key to this series?

609
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 2: My key is Boyon Bogdanovich. The biggest difference between the

610
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:25,160
Speaker 2: Jazz this season in the playoffs and the Jazz last

611
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 2: year in the playoffs. Boy On seventeen points per game,

612
00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:33,200
Speaker 2: two assists, four rebounds, good percentages, a good secondary score,

613
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:35,960
Speaker 2: a solid shooter, sturdy defender. But I feel like a

614
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 2: lot of the rep for him as a defender comes

615
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:42,720
Speaker 2: from his tenure in Indiana guarding Lebron James and being

616
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:45,480
Speaker 2: you know, sizable enough, quick enough on his feet, and

617
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 2: strong enough to take some bumps down in the post.

618
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:51,600
Speaker 2: They're playing a different LA team, though far more perimeter oriented.

619
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:55,800
Speaker 2: His matchups, I think boy On will probably be Nick

620
00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 2: Batoomb for a lot of it, probably Morris And if

621
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:00,879
Speaker 2: that's the case, if that's who Bogdanovich is matched up with,

622
00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:04,159
Speaker 2: he's gotta win that one. Royce, O'Neil Mike Conley are

623
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:08,120
Speaker 2: probably gonna get the Kawhi and PG tasks, but they're

624
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 2: gonna have problems with the size. I think Boyon will

625
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:12,960
Speaker 2: get a turn on Kawhi and that could be a

626
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:14,879
Speaker 2: big ask, especially since you want him to give it

627
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 2: to you defensively as well. Bogdanovic a swing factor to me.

628
00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:21,639
Speaker 2: When he has a favorable matchup, he's gotta win it

629
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:25,359
Speaker 2: like that's gotta be lockdown. The Jazz are winning this

630
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:27,920
Speaker 2: with the three to four here, and when he's playing

631
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:30,680
Speaker 2: up against Kawhi or maybe Paul George, he's got to

632
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:32,879
Speaker 2: do a little bit to cancel those guys out because

633
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:35,679
Speaker 2: the Clippers are gonna have an advantage on the wing.

634
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 2: There's no doubt about it with Kawhi and Paul George.

635
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:41,400
Speaker 2: So Bogdanovic him being healthy this year, Joe Ingles as well,

636
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:42,919
Speaker 2: they just got to step up. They got to hit

637
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:45,080
Speaker 2: their three pointers to kind of cancel out what the

638
00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:47,360
Speaker 2: Clippers are gonna do. And they just gotta make it tough.

639
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:49,320
Speaker 2: They got to funnel those guys into go Bear. They

640
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:52,600
Speaker 2: got to contest the mid range jumpers. Boyon's got to

641
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:54,920
Speaker 2: bring it for this entire series. We heard last year

642
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:57,600
Speaker 2: things will be different if boy On Bogdanovich was healthy

643
00:27:57,760 --> 00:27:59,159
Speaker 2: he's healthy this year, let's see it.

644
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, after the Clippers one game seven, moved on, tass

645
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:04,560
Speaker 1: I threw the tweet out there, Clippers Jazz, like who

646
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:06,840
Speaker 1: you guys got, and man, the responses to this, it

647
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:10,280
Speaker 1: felt like it was fifty to fifty Jazz people going yep,

648
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:12,520
Speaker 1: Jazz and five six or seven and then Clippers, like nap,

649
00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 1: Clippers have figured out they're going small. They're going to like,

650
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:16,919
Speaker 1: you know, they got Kawhi playing at this level, terminator

651
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 1: Kawhi whatever you want to call them, Clippers going to

652
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 1: move on in five, six or seven. And I think

653
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 1: this is like, what's going on here is like you

654
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:25,280
Speaker 1: took us through all these teams that haven't won a title.

655
00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:27,600
Speaker 1: It does feel like any of these squads, and especially

656
00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:29,760
Speaker 1: these matchups in the West, can move on. So let's

657
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 1: get to our predictions. Are you going Jazz or Clippers?

658
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:33,440
Speaker 1: And then how many games in this one?

659
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:36,080
Speaker 3: Well? Yeah, just looking at it, I think people are

660
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:38,240
Speaker 3: looking at it and thinking, well, that's sort of the

661
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:41,040
Speaker 3: classic team that does it by committee versus the team

662
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 3: with the superstar and now Kawhi Leonard. But I think

663
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:47,440
Speaker 3: we are all sort of underestimating Donovan Mitchell's impact in

664
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:49,400
Speaker 3: the four games that he came back. He looked really,

665
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 3: really good against the Memphis Grizzlies. Everybody wants to compare

666
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 3: this team to the Hawks of the fourteen to fifteen

667
00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:59,240
Speaker 3: that's sixty win team, Atlanta Hawks team, but Donovan Mitchell

668
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:02,920
Speaker 3: takes them up notch. At the same time, the Clippers

669
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:05,600
Speaker 3: definitely have the better superstars, so that the Jazz will

670
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:08,120
Speaker 3: have to do it by committee. I definitely were worry

671
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:12,040
Speaker 3: about Conley's hamstring, especially if he's the one tasked with

672
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:14,840
Speaker 3: guarding Kawhi Leonard. You look at the perimeter guys on

673
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:17,160
Speaker 3: the Jazz, it's just gonna be it's gonna be difficult

674
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:21,000
Speaker 3: to come up. Yeah, after roy O'Neill, uh those you know,

675
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:23,120
Speaker 3: matching up with Kawhi and Paul George, it's gonna be tough.

676
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:26,680
Speaker 3: So Rudy Gobert is going to have to play a monstrous,

677
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:29,960
Speaker 3: monstrous series. I kind of like the fact that the

678
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:32,240
Speaker 3: Clippers played seven games, and yes they played a lot

679
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:35,360
Speaker 3: of minutes, but they had to go through some adversity.

680
00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 3: Jazz haven't necessarily had to do that other than off

681
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 3: the court with training debacles with Donovan Mitchell, they had to.

682
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:45,080
Speaker 3: The Clippers had to go small, they had to go big.

683
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:48,200
Speaker 3: They they understand what they are a little bit more.

684
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:51,440
Speaker 3: So that kind of just leads me towards the Clip

685
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 3: And I think the superstars are it's are gonna play

686
00:29:57,040 --> 00:29:58,960
Speaker 3: big factor? Are THEKWHI is gonna play just just a

687
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:02,000
Speaker 3: huge factor this series, and that they have more at

688
00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:04,400
Speaker 3: the top. I was, you know, ride and high with

689
00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:07,160
Speaker 3: the Jazz after watching them beat the Grizzlies. But then yeah,

690
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:10,360
Speaker 3: the Clippers are playing their best ball since Kawhi's got there,

691
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:13,280
Speaker 3: Kawhi making making it known that he's one of the

692
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:15,960
Speaker 3: top few players in the league right now. So I'm

693
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:19,960
Speaker 3: taking the Clippers in six. Although yeah, i'd say, you know,

694
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:22,040
Speaker 3: before Game six and the Game seven of that Clippers

695
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:24,880
Speaker 3: Jazz series or Clippers Mavericks series, was not feeling the Clippers.

696
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:27,280
Speaker 3: But I'm feeling right. I'm feeling better picking them right now.

697
00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:28,880
Speaker 3: But can't wait to watch Trey.

698
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:30,200
Speaker 1: Let's go to you next. Who you got in this?

699
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:33,320
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go with the Jazz in this one. Give

700
00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:35,920
Speaker 2: me the Jazz and seven. I think that they can

701
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:38,920
Speaker 2: shoot with the Clippers. They're both great three point shooting teams.

702
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:41,440
Speaker 2: So that likely cancels each other out over the course

703
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:45,560
Speaker 2: of the season. But the Jazz have more inside I

704
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:48,760
Speaker 2: think Donovan Mitchell does a better job of getting specifically

705
00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:52,880
Speaker 2: to the rim than some of the Clippers superstars do. Obviously,

706
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:55,360
Speaker 2: Kawhi was incredible in Game seven, had a couple of

707
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 2: sick dunks, the one down the lane, the one hander

708
00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:00,840
Speaker 2: was nice, the two hander and theys take your pick

709
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:02,280
Speaker 2: if you want on the left side of the floor

710
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:04,880
Speaker 2: or the right side of the floor. But between Mitchell

711
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:07,400
Speaker 2: and Gobert, the Jazz can put a ton of pressure

712
00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:09,560
Speaker 2: on the rim. Obviously, they're going to play defense. They've

713
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:12,800
Speaker 2: got a great interior defense as well. I'm going with

714
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:13,320
Speaker 2: the Jazz.

715
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:15,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think we're gonna see the Jazz playing

716
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:18,520
Speaker 1: much zone defense here, like you probably had to resort

717
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:21,400
Speaker 1: to there. Okay, you're going with the Jazz and seven leave?

718
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:21,840
Speaker 1: What about you?

719
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:23,960
Speaker 4: I too, am going with the Jazz, but I'm going

720
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:26,560
Speaker 4: in six. I like the fact that they are rested,

721
00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:29,479
Speaker 4: and you know, Skes, you talk about how going through

722
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:31,240
Speaker 4: a tough series is good, and I agree with you

723
00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:33,480
Speaker 4: on that, but I just wonder if it just took

724
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 4: a little bit too much for toll And I just

725
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:38,160
Speaker 4: don't trust that depth from the Clippers. So I think again,

726
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:40,480
Speaker 4: if you have to have your stars playing, you know,

727
00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:43,240
Speaker 4: forty four to forty five minutes a night, that you

728
00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:45,040
Speaker 4: know they can do it because you know, this is

729
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:47,200
Speaker 4: what Kawhi does, is why he manages his load all

730
00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:49,240
Speaker 4: season long, so he's ready to go in the playoffs.

731
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:52,360
Speaker 4: But against the team that's just so well coached, I

732
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:55,720
Speaker 4: think they've got that great bench depth themselves. Now on

733
00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:58,080
Speaker 4: that bench, Jordan Clarkson and Joe Ingles two players who

734
00:31:58,080 --> 00:31:59,960
Speaker 4: will be very good. Didn't have a great series against

735
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 4: the Grizzlies. They sort of struggle, But if they can

736
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:04,080
Speaker 4: get it going again together, I think that's just going

737
00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:06,920
Speaker 4: to put a lot of pressure on the Clippers defense.

738
00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:08,720
Speaker 4: So I think Rudy go bears in for a big

739
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:10,960
Speaker 4: series too. Myself. I think at both ends of the

740
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:13,520
Speaker 4: floor he can be impactful because he doesn't you know,

741
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:16,600
Speaker 4: Zoobatz is not scaring anybody. And then on the other end,

742
00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:18,440
Speaker 4: he's just too long and too strong. If they run

743
00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:20,479
Speaker 4: a lot of that pick and roll stuff, especially with Jingles,

744
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:22,280
Speaker 4: he can get to the paint and he can score

745
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:25,280
Speaker 4: easily on that. So I like the Jazz. They're rested

746
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:27,160
Speaker 4: there at home. They've had a lot of time to

747
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:29,920
Speaker 4: plan and prepare. Yes, Conley is certainly a concern. Whether

748
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:31,680
Speaker 4: or not he even goes in the first game, we'll

749
00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 4: find out. But I think the Jazz, after that bad

750
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:37,520
Speaker 4: start to the series against the Grizzlies, got things together.

751
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:40,320
Speaker 4: Mitchell's back looking great. I think they've got too much.

752
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:41,480
Speaker 4: I've got the Jazz in six.

753
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:48,040
Speaker 1: This is tough. This is the Classico LS. Yeah, yeah, excite.

754
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:50,080
Speaker 1: I'm toring, guys. I really don't know where to go.

755
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:53,000
Speaker 1: I am like one, I just keep my mind flashes

756
00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:56,120
Speaker 1: forward to like fourth quarter situations in close schemes because

757
00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:58,920
Speaker 1: these teams are like pretty even, I think. And it's

758
00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:01,400
Speaker 1: like we saw it with Kauai, Like we're talking about

759
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:03,920
Speaker 1: what Kawi is doing offensively, but like there were times

760
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:06,040
Speaker 1: where he was put on Luca and like, all right,

761
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:07,360
Speaker 1: we need to stop here or get it out of

762
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:09,280
Speaker 1: his hands, don't let him beat us. And he did it.

763
00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:11,200
Speaker 1: He did it a couple of times. Hey, Luca was amazing.

764
00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:13,400
Speaker 1: He had some crazy shots on on KAUWHI even still,

765
00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:16,760
Speaker 1: but I just see that happening potentially in this series.

766
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:18,640
Speaker 1: If Mitchell has it going through a couple of quarters

767
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:21,120
Speaker 1: that all right, Kui go shut Donovan Mitchell down, and

768
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:24,280
Speaker 1: it's like, ooh, now, who are the Jazz like gonna

769
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:27,320
Speaker 1: really go to and help him out? And that's where

770
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:30,560
Speaker 1: I uh it gets me leaning towards the Clippers in

771
00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:33,000
Speaker 1: this series. So task you went clips in seven, right,

772
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:36,440
Speaker 1: I think I'm with you. I six, that's what I meant.

773
00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:39,120
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go six as well. Yeah, I'll go Clippers

774
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:40,440
Speaker 1: and six. So we're torn on this. We got two

775
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:42,680
Speaker 1: guys going Jazz, two guys going Clippers. Was just like

776
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:45,760
Speaker 1: my tweets coming back at me tests perrect. Yeah yeah,

777
00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:47,920
Speaker 1: but I do see that Kawhi like you know, at

778
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:50,920
Speaker 1: times when needed, he's gonna be able to slow down

779
00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:51,560
Speaker 1: down Hivan Mitchell.

780
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:53,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, but see I cant of that with the why

781
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 4: the Jazz moved the ball around and anyone on the

782
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:58,200
Speaker 4: perimeter they can knock down that three. That's what gives

783
00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:00,320
Speaker 4: me confidence that Mitchell doesn't have to be the guy

784
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:02,920
Speaker 4: who's like Luca where it's you know, like Luca, what

785
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:05,800
Speaker 4: did he have he scored or assisted on seventy seven points?

786
00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:09,759
Speaker 4: I think it was yesterday. That's just not the case

787
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:11,719
Speaker 4: with the Jazz, it's like, you want to defend me, finn,

788
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:13,640
Speaker 4: I'll just move it around and we'll get an open look.

789
00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:15,400
Speaker 1: That's what I meant. Yeah, But I'll push back on

790
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:17,719
Speaker 1: that because many times, even in this last series, we

791
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:19,799
Speaker 1: saw the Jazz in a close game. You know, they're

792
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:22,360
Speaker 1: playing Jazz basketball, but it gets into fourth quarter and

793
00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:24,120
Speaker 1: it's like, we need our superstar to get to the

794
00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:26,560
Speaker 1: line create something, and it's like, you know, the ball

795
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:28,480
Speaker 1: movement starts to go away a little bit. It's just

796
00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:30,360
Speaker 1: what happens, and you need your star players to make

797
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:32,600
Speaker 1: the big plays. So we saw that, and Jonathan Mitchell

798
00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:34,480
Speaker 1: did it time and time again in that series. He

799
00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:36,200
Speaker 1: was awesome in fourth quarters a lot of the time.

800
00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:37,960
Speaker 4: I just think it's a little different with Kuay on

801
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:40,560
Speaker 4: what's that account to point to account point.

802
00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:42,520
Speaker 1: Exactly exactly what. Well, Look, we're hoping for a great

803
00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:43,879
Speaker 1: series and we think it's going to go at least

804
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:45,719
Speaker 1: six or seven. And you tell us who you got

805
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:47,800
Speaker 1: winning guys in the stream team there and in the

806
00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:51,200
Speaker 1: comments below. That one gets started on Tuesday night. We

807
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:52,759
Speaker 1: do have two games tonight. We'll get to those in

808
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:54,799
Speaker 1: a second. We'll get to the games yesterday and from

809
00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:57,319
Speaker 1: the weekend in the Eastern Conference. But first a quick

810
00:34:57,360 --> 00:35:01,360
Speaker 1: break to hear from our sponsors. All right, back to

811
00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:04,360
Speaker 1: the game recaps from the weekend and we will go

812
00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:08,480
Speaker 1: to Game one Eastern Conference Semifinals between the Hawks and

813
00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:11,880
Speaker 1: the Sixers. Trey Young scores thirty five as the Hawks

814
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:15,560
Speaker 1: top the Sixers one twenty eight one twenty four. Got

815
00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:17,759
Speaker 1: pretty close there in the in game one, and Beard

816
00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:20,319
Speaker 1: did play, put up a great stat line, but too

817
00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:22,400
Speaker 1: much Hawks there in game one. Lellie, what's a big

818
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:22,799
Speaker 1: take away?

819
00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:25,280
Speaker 4: I wonder if Doc Rivers even watched the Knicks Hawk series,

820
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:28,880
Speaker 4: because honestly, the Hawks just picked up where they left off.

821
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:31,239
Speaker 4: Trey Young rn right in the first half, twenty five points,

822
00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:33,560
Speaker 4: seven assists, and the Hawks are up by twenty. And

823
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:36,680
Speaker 4: Trey was being guarded mainly by Danny Green in that

824
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:39,120
Speaker 4: first half and there was no pressure on him at all.

825
00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:41,480
Speaker 4: And on the other end, Trey Young didn't have any

826
00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:44,320
Speaker 4: work to do defensively, but on the offensive end, he

827
00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:46,640
Speaker 4: just walked past Danny Green time and time again, and

828
00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:48,239
Speaker 4: whether it was a floater, whether it was hitting a

829
00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:50,440
Speaker 4: three or passing to his teammates, he just did it.

830
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:55,239
Speaker 4: Unmolested so many times, and it seemed like a sort

831
00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:57,400
Speaker 4: of blowout was on the cards there at halftime because

832
00:35:57,440 --> 00:36:00,560
Speaker 4: they were so impressive. Now the start the second half,

833
00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:03,200
Speaker 4: Ben Simmons got to go on Trey Young and they

834
00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:05,320
Speaker 4: did start trapping him a little bit. But I mentioned

835
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:06,920
Speaker 4: this in the last series, and I really noticed this

836
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:09,359
Speaker 4: down at the Fortress, more so than I had before

837
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:11,160
Speaker 4: that Trey is really good at keeping his dribble.

838
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:11,480
Speaker 1: You know.

839
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:13,359
Speaker 4: The track came, he kind of knew it was coming,

840
00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:15,799
Speaker 4: and he stayed with the ball like he didn't sort

841
00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:17,680
Speaker 4: of lose possession, you know. They put him under a

842
00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:20,400
Speaker 4: lot more pressure there. But then Ben Simmons picked up

843
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:22,319
Speaker 4: a couple of hours and Doc went back to Danny Green.

844
00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:25,640
Speaker 4: Matisse's tyble came on late in the third and finally,

845
00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:28,040
Speaker 4: and Hube Brown brought this up on the broadcast yesterday.

846
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:29,680
Speaker 4: Trey Young had a shot late in a shot clock.

847
00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:32,080
Speaker 4: It was a deep three and it missed badly, and

848
00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:35,200
Speaker 4: Huby said, that's the first time he felt Trey would

849
00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:38,000
Speaker 4: been rushed into a shot for the whole game. And

850
00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:39,800
Speaker 4: I thought the same thing. I thought Matis's title just

851
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:42,200
Speaker 4: had way more energy. He's got those long arms. He's

852
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:44,320
Speaker 4: a very good defend who moves his feet well. And

853
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:47,400
Speaker 4: even Tyris Maxie just can move quicker can sort of

854
00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:49,960
Speaker 4: stay there with Trey Young. But anyway, get to the

855
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:52,480
Speaker 4: fourth quarter, Hawks up seventeen with just over four minutes ago,

856
00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:55,239
Speaker 4: and it looked like, okay, this one is over. Then

857
00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:59,160
Speaker 4: the Hawks went on a wild, wild rug. They got

858
00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:01,600
Speaker 4: a turnover that turned into an easy two pointer, and

859
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:04,480
Speaker 4: then the Hawks, because they ran out of timeouts, had

860
00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:08,160
Speaker 4: a five second violation, got it down to within three

861
00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:10,879
Speaker 4: points with thirty seconds to go, and you just sort

862
00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:12,920
Speaker 4: of felt the Sixers might steal it because the Hawks

863
00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:15,680
Speaker 4: did become a little bit rattled there. But then John

864
00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:18,680
Speaker 4: Collins got a breakaway, knocked in a couple of free throws.

865
00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:21,640
Speaker 4: Bogdan Bogdanovich ship before that hit a huge three as well,

866
00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:24,600
Speaker 4: did the Trey Young celebration to the crowd. The celebration,

867
00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:25,920
Speaker 4: and he got it right too. He had it over

868
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:29,719
Speaker 4: his lips, not over intead of snow forehead there. But

869
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:32,360
Speaker 4: a super impressive performance all round, I think by the

870
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:36,080
Speaker 4: Atlanta Hawks. Because DeAndre Hunter didn't play, Solomon Hill got

871
00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:40,280
Speaker 4: the start in this game. He looked he was okay,

872
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:44,320
Speaker 4: he hit th Man Hill listen, shoot three pointers with

873
00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:47,160
Speaker 4: the confidence of Solomon Hill, because he jumped up two

874
00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:49,080
Speaker 4: for seven. Not bad, but I thought I thought a

875
00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:51,520
Speaker 4: couple other pointers. I thought Bogdanovich was very good. I

876
00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:54,359
Speaker 4: thought John Collins was also quietly quite good in this game.

877
00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:57,480
Speaker 4: Kevin Huerta continues to give them really good minutes off

878
00:37:57,520 --> 00:37:59,839
Speaker 4: the bench, hit some big shots for them as well,

879
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:02,560
Speaker 4: and I thought, look, Joel Embiid finished with thirty nine points,

880
00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:04,440
Speaker 4: which is, you know, big, Like I thought, Copella did

881
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:06,480
Speaker 4: a decent job on him. I didn't think it was

882
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:08,160
Speaker 4: one of those thirty nine point games where it's like

883
00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:10,480
Speaker 4: Embiid was just bulling them underneath. I thought he had

884
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:13,040
Speaker 4: to work pretty hard to get his points, and for

885
00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:15,000
Speaker 4: a guy who looked like he sort of tweaked that

886
00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:17,520
Speaker 4: knee a little bit there for a time, but he

887
00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:19,600
Speaker 4: was good for the most part. Joel Ebe was good,

888
00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:21,960
Speaker 4: but I thought Capella, who also had foul trouble, did

889
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:24,040
Speaker 4: a decent job as decent as you can expect on there,

890
00:38:24,120 --> 00:38:28,960
Speaker 4: just sort of not making it easy for Embiid. So overall,

891
00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:31,319
Speaker 4: very impressed by the way the Hawks pulled this one out,

892
00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:34,080
Speaker 4: but really surprised by that first half from Doc Rivers.

893
00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:35,880
Speaker 4: Why he just and then in the fourth quarter he

894
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:37,920
Speaker 4: went back to Danny Green on Tree Young. I just

895
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:39,640
Speaker 4: don't think that's the matchup. I think it's got to

896
00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:42,880
Speaker 4: be dibled going forward. So well done to the Hawks,

897
00:38:43,239 --> 00:38:44,960
Speaker 4: great start to the series them and turned into a

898
00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:45,640
Speaker 4: really good game.

899
00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:49,320
Speaker 3: I got a dispute the bog down Bogdanovich with the

900
00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:52,760
Speaker 3: good shush to the track. Look at the Hawks Instagram account.

901
00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:54,120
Speaker 3: He put it up over his mouth, but then he

902
00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:57,520
Speaker 3: went to the side. It's like on his cheek, like drifted.

903
00:38:57,640 --> 00:38:59,240
Speaker 3: It's a drifter, I thought.

904
00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:02,879
Speaker 2: Into Claus laying a side of his neck.

905
00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:07,080
Speaker 1: Well, I thought it was better anyway than Trey.

906
00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:09,080
Speaker 4: He's like, you know, you know, I don't know what

907
00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:11,640
Speaker 4: that is. But that big three, I was a huge

908
00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:14,000
Speaker 4: three that pretty much put him up six and uh

909
00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:16,359
Speaker 4: basically that was a Yeah.

910
00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:21,400
Speaker 1: That was huge. Yeah. Wicked dunk from Collins off the

911
00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:22,160
Speaker 1: pass from Tray.

912
00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:22,440
Speaker 3: Yeah.

913
00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:24,799
Speaker 1: I don't know who's feeling better after this game. One

914
00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:27,440
Speaker 1: tass isn't the Hawks because they were dominant there in

915
00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:29,120
Speaker 1: the first quarter of first half, I mean, put up

916
00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:31,360
Speaker 1: seventy points, but then nearly gave the game away, but

917
00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:33,400
Speaker 1: they got the win, so they're happy or is it

918
00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:35,120
Speaker 1: the Sixers who like did not play well. Of course

919
00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:37,080
Speaker 1: in the first half, they have moves to make, which

920
00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:39,719
Speaker 1: is definitely start by not putting Danny Green on Trey Young.

921
00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:43,799
Speaker 1: Embiid did play, he looked great. I mean, like, are

922
00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:45,799
Speaker 1: they like sort of feeling good, like, Okay, we lost,

923
00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:47,680
Speaker 1: but you know, we can get the best of the

924
00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:49,840
Speaker 1: Hawks in this series once we switched things up and

925
00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:50,720
Speaker 1: we got a healthy Embad.

926
00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:51,000
Speaker 3: I don't know.

927
00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:51,720
Speaker 1: I can't decide.

928
00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:54,320
Speaker 3: Really, yeah, I would take the Hawks for two reasons.

929
00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:56,680
Speaker 3: I don't think Joel Embiid could look any better than that,

930
00:39:56,920 --> 00:39:59,680
Speaker 3: And he was, you know, limping around a little bit

931
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:01,600
Speaker 3: at time the defense van he's struggling. I don't think

932
00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:03,719
Speaker 3: he's gonna get any healthier as the series goes on.

933
00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:07,720
Speaker 3: And the second thing is the Sixers for some reason,

934
00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:11,319
Speaker 3: made that move when they are the favorite. And that move,

935
00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:15,040
Speaker 3: I mean, they put Danny Green on Trey Young to

936
00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:16,560
Speaker 3: start the game. It makes no sense. So I think

937
00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:18,680
Speaker 3: the Hawks are kind of winning the mental game. They

938
00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:22,000
Speaker 3: they for some reason, the Sixers are acting like the

939
00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:26,080
Speaker 3: underdog they are the favorite. I have no idea why

940
00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:28,279
Speaker 3: they would take the guy that has been labeled as

941
00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:30,560
Speaker 3: a defensive player. You're in Ben Simmons off of Trey

942
00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:32,680
Speaker 3: Younk to start the game. It makes no sense that

943
00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:35,920
Speaker 3: you're making this adjustment before the season. You're the number

944
00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:38,880
Speaker 3: one seed, come in and act that way, and I

945
00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:40,759
Speaker 3: think that that shows the guys in the locker room

946
00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:43,319
Speaker 3: that you know, maybe we don't have a game plan

947
00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:45,640
Speaker 3: against Trey Young. It was just it was a bad move,

948
00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:47,759
Speaker 3: I think, to start, and it just exudes a little

949
00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:52,680
Speaker 3: bit of weakness and that obviously the Hawks got feeling great,

950
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:55,160
Speaker 3: it doesn't It just it doesn't make any sense to me.

951
00:40:55,239 --> 00:40:57,920
Speaker 3: If you're the Milwaukee Bucks as an underdog to the

952
00:40:57,920 --> 00:41:00,640
Speaker 3: Brooklyn Nets, you make that move a put PJ. Tucker

953
00:41:00,680 --> 00:41:03,040
Speaker 3: in the starting lineup, that makes sense, you're the underdog.

954
00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:04,520
Speaker 3: We'll get to that in a second. But to me,

955
00:41:04,640 --> 00:41:09,720
Speaker 3: that Doc Rivers thing was it's inexplicable and it obviously

956
00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:11,839
Speaker 3: didn't work. And Danny just doesn't have the foot speed

957
00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:14,680
Speaker 3: to hang with Trey Young. And yeah, you're just you're

958
00:41:14,760 --> 00:41:17,560
Speaker 3: just saying this, this identity that we've had all year

959
00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:20,080
Speaker 3: to get this to this number one seed, we're gonna

960
00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:22,480
Speaker 3: go away from it. When the series is tied zero zero,

961
00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:26,800
Speaker 3: we've got home court. It's I don't know, it's it

962
00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:29,080
Speaker 3: was a mistake I think by Doc to start the

963
00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:32,440
Speaker 3: series like that, and not only does it put you

964
00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:35,120
Speaker 3: know a lot of pressure on Danny Green to chase

965
00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:38,719
Speaker 3: you know, Trey Young around, but it also puts a

966
00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:40,640
Speaker 3: lot of pressure on Joel Embiid and those knees that

967
00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:44,319
Speaker 3: are definitely not one hundred percent he gets by. Trey

968
00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:46,759
Speaker 3: gets by Danny Green, and Joel Embiid is usually the

969
00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:48,440
Speaker 3: guy in that action with the pick and roll coming

970
00:41:48,480 --> 00:41:50,520
Speaker 3: from Click Cupello, so he's got to dance even more.

971
00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:52,960
Speaker 3: But if Ben Simmons is covering like he started to

972
00:41:53,040 --> 00:41:55,320
Speaker 3: do in the third quarter when they went to that coverage,

973
00:41:55,640 --> 00:41:57,640
Speaker 3: I think that saves Joel Embid's knees a little bit.

974
00:41:57,680 --> 00:41:59,279
Speaker 3: So you could see why the Hawks were thirteen of

975
00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:02,000
Speaker 3: twenty three in the first half on three balls because

976
00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:05,400
Speaker 3: Trey was dancing and finding guys, and that that number

977
00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:09,000
Speaker 3: against the Sixers defense that is supposed to be there

978
00:42:09,040 --> 00:42:11,520
Speaker 3: forte they went away from and that hurt him big time.

979
00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:14,200
Speaker 3: So I think the Hawks I gotta feel, I mean,

980
00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:16,520
Speaker 3: they obviously they can lose Game two and still feel

981
00:42:16,560 --> 00:42:18,400
Speaker 3: good going back to Atlanta one to one.

982
00:42:18,680 --> 00:42:20,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was an unbelievable first half. I mean it

983
00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:22,080
Speaker 1: was like in the first quarter was like, I don't

984
00:42:22,120 --> 00:42:23,799
Speaker 1: think you can play a better first quarter if I'm

985
00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:25,799
Speaker 1: being honest. From the Hawks, the way they were moving

986
00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:27,759
Speaker 1: that ball around, the way Trey Young was just dissecting them,

987
00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:29,359
Speaker 1: and yeah, that was they were helped by Danny Green

988
00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:31,279
Speaker 1: trying to guard them. That's not gonna work. But Ben

989
00:42:31,360 --> 00:42:34,440
Speaker 1: Simmons Trade did get that assignment early in the third

990
00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:38,400
Speaker 1: quarter and picked up two fouls like instantaneously. Yeah, I

991
00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:40,480
Speaker 1: thought one of them was pretty like what didn't Trade

992
00:42:40,520 --> 00:42:42,600
Speaker 1: I'm actually create that contact but got away with it,

993
00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:44,520
Speaker 1: did the little heisman on him, and he actually got

994
00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:46,520
Speaker 1: the whistle on Ben Simmons. And maybe that's the issue

995
00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:49,120
Speaker 1: that Doc's like, well, I mean we put Ben Simmons

996
00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:50,799
Speaker 1: on him. Yeah, he's our lockdown guy, but he could

997
00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:52,399
Speaker 1: get in foul trouble in a hurry, like he even

998
00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:54,760
Speaker 1: did there in the second half. But by all accounts

999
00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:56,480
Speaker 1: of like you know, reading into it into the postgame,

1000
00:42:56,520 --> 00:42:58,680
Speaker 1: Simmons is like, I'm going to be guarding him like

1001
00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:01,440
Speaker 1: and he should. He should want them, he should take them.

1002
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:03,920
Speaker 2: It should be a one on one matchup. They shouldn't

1003
00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:06,600
Speaker 2: be trapping Tray Young because then the Hawks are two

1004
00:43:06,640 --> 00:43:08,800
Speaker 2: good at passing the ball and finding open shooters, and

1005
00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:10,960
Speaker 2: that's how you get bogged down Bogdanovich hitting a huge

1006
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:13,799
Speaker 2: three and laying his finger aside of his nose. It's

1007
00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:15,440
Speaker 2: got to be on Simmons. He's got to take the

1008
00:43:15,520 --> 00:43:18,440
Speaker 2: Tray Young matchup personally, and he's got to dominate that

1009
00:43:18,560 --> 00:43:22,160
Speaker 2: matchup because I think the stream team is right. You're right, Skeets,

1010
00:43:22,239 --> 00:43:25,560
Speaker 2: that doc's a little worried about Ben Simmons picking up

1011
00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:28,520
Speaker 2: files against Trey Young. He's been great against that, clearly.

1012
00:43:28,680 --> 00:43:33,880
Speaker 2: If Simmons is on tray and Capella or embiads guarding Compella,

1013
00:43:33,920 --> 00:43:35,400
Speaker 2: they're gonna go to that pick and roll quite a

1014
00:43:35,480 --> 00:43:37,920
Speaker 2: bit to try and get embiid move in to try

1015
00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:39,480
Speaker 2: and get him in foul trouble, to try and put

1016
00:43:39,480 --> 00:43:42,719
Speaker 2: the pressure on Ben Simmons. But Simmons is big enough,

1017
00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:45,040
Speaker 2: quick enough and long enough that he can still bother

1018
00:43:45,120 --> 00:43:47,560
Speaker 2: Trey Young in a one on one matchup. The trap, though,

1019
00:43:47,719 --> 00:43:49,840
Speaker 2: is just not gonna work, and Danny Green is not

1020
00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:52,399
Speaker 2: gonna work. I guess he got a half to see

1021
00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:55,080
Speaker 2: if he would give any sort of resistance to Tray Young.

1022
00:43:55,160 --> 00:43:58,120
Speaker 2: Same with Seth Curry. But it's got to basically be Simmons,

1023
00:43:58,200 --> 00:43:59,799
Speaker 2: and then when Simmons is off the court, it's got

1024
00:43:59,840 --> 00:44:01,920
Speaker 2: to be tle I'm with you, Lee. I thought he

1025
00:44:02,040 --> 00:44:04,440
Speaker 2: did the best job that one possession where it just

1026
00:44:04,480 --> 00:44:07,160
Speaker 2: looked like he actually sped Trey Young ump. It was

1027
00:44:07,239 --> 00:44:09,960
Speaker 2: like the first time Trey Young felt hurried at all

1028
00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:12,640
Speaker 2: in the playoffs. I don't know. I think the Sixers

1029
00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:14,719
Speaker 2: just were a little bit caught off guard here. They

1030
00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:17,480
Speaker 2: played a basically nothing series in the first round against

1031
00:44:17,480 --> 00:44:19,920
Speaker 2: the Wizards. The Hawks came out, had a great series

1032
00:44:20,120 --> 00:44:23,760
Speaker 2: against New York. Their rolling came in, smashed the Sixers

1033
00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:25,839
Speaker 2: in the face. It rolled over into the second quarter.

1034
00:44:26,120 --> 00:44:28,480
Speaker 2: But if you'll get the total score from quarters two, three, four,

1035
00:44:29,080 --> 00:44:30,759
Speaker 2: the Sixers are on top there. You just throw out

1036
00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:33,520
Speaker 2: that first quarter. Play a little harder, play some playoff

1037
00:44:33,560 --> 00:44:37,080
Speaker 2: intensity to start game two. You can get a split here.

1038
00:44:37,160 --> 00:44:39,480
Speaker 2: But yeah, I'm with Tass as well. The Hawks are

1039
00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:41,680
Speaker 2: feeling good. They got their one on the road already.

1040
00:44:42,080 --> 00:44:44,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, that trap. If you saw the ESPN stats and

1041
00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:47,520
Speaker 1: info in the second half, they threw multiple defenders fifteen

1042
00:44:47,600 --> 00:44:49,440
Speaker 1: times at Trey Young in the second half. He only

1043
00:44:49,480 --> 00:44:52,319
Speaker 1: attempted one field goal in those fifteen instances. Makes sense,

1044
00:44:52,320 --> 00:44:53,920
Speaker 1: he's got a bunch of bodies on him. But the

1045
00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:57,239
Speaker 1: Hawks went seven for eleven overall from the field for

1046
00:44:57,400 --> 00:45:00,560
Speaker 1: nineteen points. Because yeah, he's a great passer and the

1047
00:45:00,640 --> 00:45:03,520
Speaker 1: Hawks have a bunch of shooters. Someone's gonna be open

1048
00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:05,920
Speaker 1: and these guys are contributing. You're right, Lee, I mean,

1049
00:45:06,120 --> 00:45:09,640
Speaker 1: I think Herder's been phenomenal for them, even defensively. He's

1050
00:45:09,680 --> 00:45:11,960
Speaker 1: like really getting into it on that end. And then

1051
00:45:12,080 --> 00:45:15,399
Speaker 1: you know, of course Punkdanovic is key. So great win

1052
00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:16,759
Speaker 1: from the Hawks here. It's gonna be I think, a

1053
00:45:16,920 --> 00:45:19,520
Speaker 1: very very fun series. But we'll see what goes on.

1054
00:45:19,680 --> 00:45:21,239
Speaker 1: And look, I thought the Sixers were gonna come out

1055
00:45:21,239 --> 00:45:24,160
Speaker 1: with a bang Trey after we saw Triple H ringing

1056
00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:25,600
Speaker 1: the bell there with the sledgehammer.

1057
00:45:25,760 --> 00:45:29,240
Speaker 2: Not me, Triple H, the most overrated superstar of our generation.

1058
00:45:29,480 --> 00:45:32,919
Speaker 2: John Schuman nailed it. Triple H's entrances are always better

1059
00:45:33,040 --> 00:45:36,280
Speaker 2: than his matches. Trimple H loves to put other guys

1060
00:45:36,320 --> 00:45:38,840
Speaker 2: over as one of the executives in the company. It

1061
00:45:38,920 --> 00:45:41,279
Speaker 2: looks good for a superstar like Triple H to lose,

1062
00:45:41,520 --> 00:45:43,640
Speaker 2: why would you bring him out in Game one to

1063
00:45:43,719 --> 00:45:45,960
Speaker 2: put the Hawks over? Major l from the.

1064
00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:49,120
Speaker 1: Sage Jesus thrust the process. Not a fan of it.

1065
00:45:49,560 --> 00:45:51,520
Speaker 1: Nice shirts though they had there. Apparently you can't buy

1066
00:45:51,600 --> 00:45:54,560
Speaker 1: them though, so don't get too except. But yeah, Embid

1067
00:45:54,680 --> 00:45:57,240
Speaker 1: was a lonster and we should see Simmons or Thimal,

1068
00:45:57,400 --> 00:45:59,600
Speaker 1: somebody else besides Danny Green on Trey. You're gonna can't

1069
00:45:59,600 --> 00:46:01,800
Speaker 1: wait to see what Hawks do to try and figure

1070
00:46:01,840 --> 00:46:04,080
Speaker 1: that out and if those other guys can help out

1071
00:46:04,120 --> 00:46:06,160
Speaker 1: and get them another victory. Like the Hawks are just

1072
00:46:07,040 --> 00:46:10,640
Speaker 1: they're just it just it did roll over so smoothly

1073
00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:12,960
Speaker 1: from the next series. You're right, I mean, it was

1074
00:46:13,040 --> 00:46:14,800
Speaker 1: just like they were playing another game against the knixt

1075
00:46:14,880 --> 00:46:16,520
Speaker 1: film make a little bit there in that first half,

1076
00:46:16,600 --> 00:46:19,200
Speaker 1: especially because they're just they're feeling good about themselves. This

1077
00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:22,120
Speaker 1: Hawks team, they got, they got their star, everybody's contributing,

1078
00:46:22,440 --> 00:46:24,279
Speaker 1: and they're playing with house money. As I said heading

1079
00:46:24,320 --> 00:46:26,320
Speaker 1: into the series, like nobody's really picking them, just like

1080
00:46:26,320 --> 00:46:27,839
Speaker 1: a lot of people weren't picking them to beat the Necks.

1081
00:46:28,600 --> 00:46:30,200
Speaker 4: And the thing I like about Trey as well, if

1082
00:46:30,200 --> 00:46:31,840
Speaker 4: they do let's say it is Ben Simmonson, and they

1083
00:46:31,880 --> 00:46:33,279
Speaker 4: will get a high pick for him to try to

1084
00:46:33,280 --> 00:46:35,200
Speaker 4: get him into the paint and draw and beat away

1085
00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:37,399
Speaker 4: from a capella and he'll be happy to throw that lob.

1086
00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:39,360
Speaker 4: Or they'll just put John Collins sort of basically in

1087
00:46:39,440 --> 00:46:41,440
Speaker 4: that high post area, bounce it to him and then

1088
00:46:41,680 --> 00:46:44,600
Speaker 4: somehow try to move and beat away from protecting either

1089
00:46:44,840 --> 00:46:47,480
Speaker 4: the paint or protecting capella, and then John Collins can

1090
00:46:47,520 --> 00:46:49,680
Speaker 4: go in. And he's really picked it up after struggling

1091
00:46:50,239 --> 00:46:52,000
Speaker 4: in the early games of that Nick series as well,

1092
00:46:52,080 --> 00:46:54,440
Speaker 4: hitting some corner threes and you can just see his

1093
00:46:54,560 --> 00:46:57,000
Speaker 4: confidence there. He's not a center, he's not a big

1094
00:46:57,120 --> 00:46:59,560
Speaker 4: per se like he can't really guard and beat himself.

1095
00:46:59,560 --> 00:47:01,800
Speaker 4: I mean that really does four long capella shoulders. But

1096
00:47:01,920 --> 00:47:03,759
Speaker 4: he just also makes it a difficult match up for

1097
00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:05,320
Speaker 4: them on the offensive end because he can spread the

1098
00:47:05,360 --> 00:47:07,560
Speaker 4: floor and he's athletic enough, as we saw, to get

1099
00:47:07,600 --> 00:47:10,520
Speaker 4: inside there and make some buckets. So the Hawks have

1100
00:47:10,560 --> 00:47:12,800
Speaker 4: got some weapons here, and when those shots are falling

1101
00:47:12,840 --> 00:47:16,360
Speaker 4: from Bogdanovich and Kevin Guerta coming off the bench, it

1102
00:47:16,520 --> 00:47:19,280
Speaker 4: makes the Sixers have to scramble a little bit on defense,

1103
00:47:19,360 --> 00:47:23,120
Speaker 4: So This is super well done job from Nate McMillan

1104
00:47:23,239 --> 00:47:25,279
Speaker 4: yet again did another just I thought he came in

1105
00:47:25,440 --> 00:47:28,400
Speaker 4: really prepared and ready. I think he probably was expecting

1106
00:47:28,760 --> 00:47:31,680
Speaker 4: more of a defensive focus on Trey Young. It just

1107
00:47:31,719 --> 00:47:34,000
Speaker 4: didn't happen in that first half, which allowed Trey to

1108
00:47:34,040 --> 00:47:35,759
Speaker 4: get those shots off and build up that lead. So

1109
00:47:36,200 --> 00:47:38,160
Speaker 4: it was a fun game to watch though. And the

1110
00:47:38,239 --> 00:47:40,520
Speaker 4: Knicks fans, excuse me, the Sixers fans, I think went

1111
00:47:40,600 --> 00:47:42,080
Speaker 4: with the tray is balding, but I think they were

1112
00:47:42,120 --> 00:47:44,320
Speaker 4: a little bit hesitant though, Like we saw him just

1113
00:47:44,440 --> 00:47:48,799
Speaker 4: to watch the Knicks, like, let's not get on trays. Yeah,

1114
00:47:48,920 --> 00:47:50,960
Speaker 4: let's not get into his head because he's been so good.

1115
00:47:51,080 --> 00:47:53,799
Speaker 4: So it wasn't the most you know, I thought it'd

1116
00:47:53,840 --> 00:47:55,800
Speaker 4: be a bit more raucous there from Philadelphia, known to

1117
00:47:55,840 --> 00:47:58,279
Speaker 4: be a crowd that creates an intimidating environment, but they

1118
00:47:58,320 --> 00:48:00,640
Speaker 4: were a bit like, just careful guy, I just don't

1119
00:48:00,719 --> 00:48:03,160
Speaker 4: make him go off ended up killing him anyway.

1120
00:48:03,239 --> 00:48:07,239
Speaker 3: So yeah, Triple H had a real bad tone. You

1121
00:48:07,360 --> 00:48:12,040
Speaker 3: see him ding the actual bell badding. I don't even

1122
00:48:12,040 --> 00:48:14,080
Speaker 3: know if i'd call it a ding. It was he

1123
00:48:14,239 --> 00:48:19,200
Speaker 3: like fluttered the sledgehammer towards he was about destroying the bell. Yeah,

1124
00:48:19,239 --> 00:48:21,680
Speaker 3: he was worried about cracking it. Come on, this is

1125
00:48:21,719 --> 00:48:24,200
Speaker 3: the beginning of their second round. Hit that thing if

1126
00:48:24,239 --> 00:48:31,200
Speaker 3: it breaks cool, come on, h. He barely touched it,

1127
00:48:31,280 --> 00:48:34,880
Speaker 3: and then the Sixers came out and yeah, personified that

1128
00:48:35,040 --> 00:48:37,080
Speaker 3: bell ding right there. It was nothing.

1129
00:48:37,280 --> 00:48:37,440
Speaker 1: I was.

1130
00:48:37,680 --> 00:48:39,600
Speaker 3: I was so weird. I mean I was watching that live.

1131
00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:41,040
Speaker 3: I was so crazy.

1132
00:48:43,120 --> 00:48:45,200
Speaker 1: You don't really think about what was happening. You're like,

1133
00:48:45,280 --> 00:48:48,719
Speaker 1: this is amazing, this league, it's it's it's nuts, Like

1134
00:48:48,960 --> 00:48:52,120
Speaker 1: this all happened because in Beads doing like you know,

1135
00:48:52,239 --> 00:48:54,400
Speaker 1: the suck it chop while he's on the ground sort of,

1136
00:48:54,440 --> 00:48:56,560
Speaker 1: and then Triple H is tweeting about it. So then

1137
00:48:56,600 --> 00:48:58,640
Speaker 1: now he's suddenly there for a playoff game with the

1138
00:48:58,800 --> 00:49:01,800
Speaker 1: sledgehammer and like cuss, Like it is crazy when you

1139
00:49:01,880 --> 00:49:02,320
Speaker 1: think about it.

1140
00:49:02,480 --> 00:49:02,680
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1141
00:49:02,680 --> 00:49:06,200
Speaker 2: I think it was Trenton Hassle's Carmelo on Twitter that says,

1142
00:49:06,360 --> 00:49:09,440
Speaker 2: it's pretty amazing how much the seventy six Ers franchise

1143
00:49:09,520 --> 00:49:13,400
Speaker 2: has embraced sucking it Like this is game one of

1144
00:49:13,480 --> 00:49:16,400
Speaker 2: their second round playoff series. They've got the most fans

1145
00:49:16,440 --> 00:49:18,920
Speaker 2: in the stands they've had for the entire season and

1146
00:49:19,040 --> 00:49:23,120
Speaker 2: Joel Embiid is wearing a Degeneration X shirt. That's pretty

1147
00:49:23,120 --> 00:49:23,760
Speaker 2: wild stuff.

1148
00:49:23,920 --> 00:49:26,360
Speaker 1: It's wild when you really stop and think about it,

1149
00:49:27,120 --> 00:49:28,960
Speaker 1: and it was wild. I would say, I know someone

1150
00:49:28,960 --> 00:49:30,919
Speaker 1: slipped it in there. No DeAndre Hunter and the Hawks

1151
00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:31,560
Speaker 1: still get this win.

1152
00:49:31,719 --> 00:49:32,000
Speaker 2: Is huge.

1153
00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:34,480
Speaker 1: I don't know what his status is moving forward. He's

1154
00:49:34,520 --> 00:49:36,800
Speaker 1: an important player to them what he gives them on

1155
00:49:36,960 --> 00:49:40,440
Speaker 1: bosdes of the basketball, so like, I mean, they need him,

1156
00:49:40,440 --> 00:49:42,479
Speaker 1: I think to, you know, ultimately pull off this upset

1157
00:49:42,520 --> 00:49:44,120
Speaker 1: in this series. But I don't know what his status is.

1158
00:49:44,200 --> 00:49:47,280
Speaker 1: But geez to get that win without them incredible, incredible

1159
00:49:47,320 --> 00:49:47,759
Speaker 1: work here.

1160
00:49:47,719 --> 00:49:51,200
Speaker 3: Nate McMillan, man name mcmill pushing those buttons oh so perfectly.

1161
00:49:51,400 --> 00:49:55,520
Speaker 3: Solomon Hill insert and he plays well and they everybody,

1162
00:49:55,600 --> 00:49:57,080
Speaker 3: everybody playing so so well.

1163
00:49:57,280 --> 00:50:00,400
Speaker 2: I will say the league. Kevin Huerta seemed have some

1164
00:50:00,719 --> 00:50:04,720
Speaker 2: caak guy in his pantaloness there in the last two minutes.

1165
00:50:04,800 --> 00:50:08,640
Speaker 2: That guy was frightened. Anytime there was a double team,

1166
00:50:08,920 --> 00:50:11,640
Speaker 2: eyes wide open, just chuck it to somebody else, hold

1167
00:50:11,680 --> 00:50:14,560
Speaker 2: the ball for five seconds. Make a quicker decision there, Kevin.

1168
00:50:14,719 --> 00:50:17,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's either the tallest six to two guy in

1169
00:50:17,360 --> 00:50:19,400
Speaker 4: the league, or the smallest six to seven guy in

1170
00:50:19,440 --> 00:50:22,640
Speaker 4: the league. He's got deceptive hight about him, like he

1171
00:50:22,840 --> 00:50:24,960
Speaker 4: I think he's listed at six to seven. He just

1172
00:50:25,040 --> 00:50:27,080
Speaker 4: doesn't feel like a six to seven guy out there.

1173
00:50:27,160 --> 00:50:28,359
Speaker 1: But yeah, you're right.

1174
00:50:28,440 --> 00:50:30,160
Speaker 4: But prior to that, though, he's not afraid to take

1175
00:50:30,200 --> 00:50:32,040
Speaker 4: the shot, like he's confident in his shot. He comes out,

1176
00:50:32,120 --> 00:50:33,640
Speaker 4: he knows his role when he comes off the bench,

1177
00:50:33,920 --> 00:50:36,640
Speaker 4: and defensively as well, he always waits back to try

1178
00:50:36,719 --> 00:50:38,719
Speaker 4: to box out and get that rebound. He's got good

1179
00:50:38,760 --> 00:50:42,880
Speaker 4: defensive presence and defensive awareness. And again against that Nick series,

1180
00:50:42,960 --> 00:50:44,960
Speaker 4: he was very good coming off the bench, and I

1181
00:50:45,040 --> 00:50:47,600
Speaker 4: thought overall yesterday he was outstanding too.

1182
00:50:48,239 --> 00:50:48,439
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1183
00:50:48,520 --> 00:50:50,279
Speaker 1: If the sixer had come back to win this game,

1184
00:50:50,320 --> 00:50:52,160
Speaker 1: which they almost did, this would have been a sweep.

1185
00:50:52,160 --> 00:50:54,680
Speaker 1: I would have thought it would have been like, oh god, jeez,

1186
00:50:54,680 --> 00:50:55,960
Speaker 1: how did you lose this? But I didn't know the

1187
00:50:56,000 --> 00:50:58,200
Speaker 1: high stein Will still managed to hold on for the victory.

1188
00:50:58,239 --> 00:51:00,200
Speaker 1: So we should have a serious here. We also you

1189
00:51:00,320 --> 00:51:02,439
Speaker 1: this one, guys, what'd you number fifty seven? Yeah, let's

1190
00:51:02,440 --> 00:51:05,799
Speaker 1: not forget about that nice one here from George Hill

1191
00:51:06,280 --> 00:51:10,240
Speaker 1: avoiding callings there and just sticks it. Ever so gently

1192
00:51:10,360 --> 00:51:13,919
Speaker 1: on the layup. Yeah, just sort of the one coming

1193
00:51:13,960 --> 00:51:16,600
Speaker 1: from underneath their tasks as you sit there.

1194
00:51:16,680 --> 00:51:16,879
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1195
00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:19,879
Speaker 1: Very unique, very very unique. And we're up to fifty seven.

1196
00:51:19,880 --> 00:51:22,320
Speaker 1: Everybody knows we are. Just every time we get another Weggie,

1197
00:51:22,360 --> 00:51:25,840
Speaker 1: it's a new record because just adding to this unbelievable total,

1198
00:51:26,719 --> 00:51:29,560
Speaker 1: the piece that says there's fifty nine but look, no

1199
00:51:29,719 --> 00:51:32,520
Speaker 1: doubt sixty is in play, which is like, just try

1200
00:51:32,560 --> 00:51:35,919
Speaker 1: and wrap your head around that. My goodness. But another

1201
00:51:35,960 --> 00:51:38,480
Speaker 1: one there from the Sixers. George Hill didn't get what

1202
00:51:38,800 --> 00:51:41,920
Speaker 1: didn't get Hub Brown saying Weggie? He said, Wedge, I think, but.

1203
00:51:42,520 --> 00:51:44,480
Speaker 4: I think I didn't even think. I thought I only

1204
00:51:44,520 --> 00:51:46,840
Speaker 4: heard that I got stuck from Mark Jones. Did they

1205
00:51:47,040 --> 00:51:49,239
Speaker 4: say I thought I thought I emver heard a game

1206
00:51:49,280 --> 00:51:50,360
Speaker 4: as well. That would have been.

1207
00:51:50,480 --> 00:51:53,680
Speaker 1: Huge, huge, QB. Brown saying Weggie would.

1208
00:51:53,480 --> 00:51:56,719
Speaker 4: Have been Yeah, the wedgie culture would have just been grant.

1209
00:51:56,800 --> 00:51:59,359
Speaker 4: And if you got that, but instead digest that, I've

1210
00:51:59,360 --> 00:52:02,080
Speaker 4: played it off the say too much. But anyway, it's okay,

1211
00:52:02,280 --> 00:52:03,319
Speaker 4: it's okay, it's okay.

1212
00:52:03,960 --> 00:52:07,359
Speaker 1: Let's get to Saturday Nights Game one between the Nets

1213
00:52:07,400 --> 00:52:10,120
Speaker 1: and the Bucks. Here Durant and Kyrie they carried the Nets.

1214
00:52:10,160 --> 00:52:12,960
Speaker 1: There in the opener, they get the victory was hearted

1215
00:52:13,040 --> 00:52:17,080
Speaker 1: going out super super early, what forty three seconds in?

1216
00:52:17,200 --> 00:52:19,080
Speaker 1: I think it was Trey. But in the end the

1217
00:52:19,160 --> 00:52:20,759
Speaker 1: Nets managed to pull this one out.

1218
00:52:21,239 --> 00:52:23,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, you want to hear a dumb take. Here comes

1219
00:52:23,520 --> 00:52:27,440
Speaker 2: one losing Game one, trailing by sixteen against the Nets

1220
00:52:27,480 --> 00:52:30,720
Speaker 2: without James Harden. The best thing that could have happened

1221
00:52:30,760 --> 00:52:34,000
Speaker 2: to the Milwaukee Bucks. Oh wow, I'll take it back, though,

1222
00:52:34,120 --> 00:52:36,800
Speaker 2: maybe the second best thing. Winning Game one would have

1223
00:52:36,840 --> 00:52:38,640
Speaker 2: been the best thing. We look at all the things

1224
00:52:38,680 --> 00:52:40,759
Speaker 2: that went wrong for Milwaukee in Game one. Here they

1225
00:52:40,840 --> 00:52:43,799
Speaker 2: shot six of thirty from three. That's the fewest three

1226
00:52:43,840 --> 00:52:46,799
Speaker 2: pointers they've made in a game this season, second worst

1227
00:52:46,840 --> 00:52:49,520
Speaker 2: percentage they shot all year. They're gonna shoot better. In

1228
00:52:49,560 --> 00:52:52,800
Speaker 2: game two, number two, Blake Griffin went for eighteen points,

1229
00:52:52,920 --> 00:52:57,000
Speaker 2: fourteen rebounds, his best game of the season. He was duncan,

1230
00:52:57,080 --> 00:52:59,520
Speaker 2: he was talking trash. He was looking like the Nets

1231
00:52:59,640 --> 00:53:03,359
Speaker 2: version Draymond Green. Let's see him do that another game.

1232
00:53:03,640 --> 00:53:06,480
Speaker 2: You're gonna expect twenty nine points from Kevin Durant. You're

1233
00:53:06,520 --> 00:53:09,600
Speaker 2: gonna expect twenty five points from Kyrie Irving. That could

1234
00:53:09,600 --> 00:53:12,080
Speaker 2: happen again. You just got to hope that Drew Holliday

1235
00:53:12,080 --> 00:53:15,320
Speaker 2: and Chris Middleton give you more than thirty points combined.

1236
00:53:15,360 --> 00:53:17,400
Speaker 2: You can look at this game and say, yikes, the

1237
00:53:17,520 --> 00:53:20,560
Speaker 2: Bucks got smashed without James Harden and yeah, that's a

1238
00:53:20,600 --> 00:53:23,040
Speaker 2: bit of a bummer. But this was a low key

1239
00:53:23,200 --> 00:53:25,759
Speaker 2: terrible one of the worst games of the season for

1240
00:53:25,880 --> 00:53:28,640
Speaker 2: the Bucks. They've got the health advantage going forward. They

1241
00:53:28,800 --> 00:53:31,160
Speaker 2: just got to shoot the ball normally because Giannis ran

1242
00:53:31,280 --> 00:53:34,120
Speaker 2: wild in game one, so that's probably gonna continue for

1243
00:53:34,200 --> 00:53:36,800
Speaker 2: the entirety of the series. There's no way they shoot

1244
00:53:36,800 --> 00:53:39,920
Speaker 2: twenty percent from three the next time here in game two.

1245
00:53:40,000 --> 00:53:42,120
Speaker 2: So yeah, a bad game one for the Bucks. But

1246
00:53:42,200 --> 00:53:44,719
Speaker 2: the good thing is is you can throw it completely out.

1247
00:53:44,960 --> 00:53:46,880
Speaker 2: You don't even need to watch that film. Let's just

1248
00:53:46,920 --> 00:53:49,080
Speaker 2: figure out how to win game two here and for.

1249
00:53:49,160 --> 00:53:51,080
Speaker 1: The Bucks, we know that James harden Test will not

1250
00:53:51,160 --> 00:53:53,279
Speaker 1: be playing in game two tonight. They're gonna keep him

1251
00:53:53,320 --> 00:53:56,239
Speaker 1: out with that what are they saying, hamstring tightness there

1252
00:53:56,280 --> 00:53:58,160
Speaker 1: and is in his right leg? So no, James Harden,

1253
00:53:58,480 --> 00:54:00,399
Speaker 1: Uh do you agree with what tre you saying?

1254
00:54:00,440 --> 00:54:00,600
Speaker 3: There?

1255
00:54:00,719 --> 00:54:03,040
Speaker 1: Like this was actually a you know, a quote unquote

1256
00:54:03,040 --> 00:54:04,719
Speaker 1: good loss for the Bucks because they just played like

1257
00:54:04,760 --> 00:54:06,680
Speaker 1: garbage and we're still sort of in it and they

1258
00:54:06,719 --> 00:54:07,439
Speaker 1: can't play worse.

1259
00:54:08,360 --> 00:54:12,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I do agree with that. I think. Yeah,

1260
00:54:12,239 --> 00:54:14,320
Speaker 3: the fact that what's also good for the Bucks is

1261
00:54:14,360 --> 00:54:17,200
Speaker 3: it's kind of a level playing field without James Harden

1262
00:54:17,239 --> 00:54:19,799
Speaker 3: out there, and the fact that the Nets are kind

1263
00:54:19,800 --> 00:54:22,920
Speaker 3: of being a little conspicuous with this diagnosis that's not

1264
00:54:23,000 --> 00:54:27,920
Speaker 3: really a diagnosis. Them saying hamstring tightness like way before

1265
00:54:28,920 --> 00:54:32,600
Speaker 3: game time starts, you know, the day before. That kind

1266
00:54:32,600 --> 00:54:33,719
Speaker 3: of leads me to believe it's going to be a

1267
00:54:33,719 --> 00:54:36,200
Speaker 3: little bit longer. It's not a strain, it's not a

1268
00:54:36,280 --> 00:54:38,759
Speaker 3: game time decision. It's not we'll work him out before

1269
00:54:38,800 --> 00:54:41,120
Speaker 3: the game. So if he's off the floor, then yeah,

1270
00:54:41,440 --> 00:54:43,440
Speaker 3: somebody has got to kind of be that third wheel

1271
00:54:43,760 --> 00:54:46,719
Speaker 3: like Blake Griffin was, and it's unlikely you're going to

1272
00:54:46,760 --> 00:54:49,480
Speaker 3: get a great Blake game like that. Again, Blake was

1273
00:54:49,640 --> 00:54:53,759
Speaker 3: turned into literally Dennis raudman out there like going horizontal

1274
00:54:53,880 --> 00:54:56,600
Speaker 3: on the floor. Man, he was diving out there making

1275
00:54:56,719 --> 00:55:00,880
Speaker 3: plays like a defensive center should. But I think I

1276
00:55:00,960 --> 00:55:04,120
Speaker 3: think even though Jannis had thirty four, uh number one,

1277
00:55:04,520 --> 00:55:07,719
Speaker 3: he obviously has to play more. Mike Bunolzer might want

1278
00:55:07,760 --> 00:55:10,480
Speaker 3: to play Yanis in a playoff game more maybe I

1279
00:55:10,480 --> 00:55:10,759
Speaker 3: don't know.

1280
00:55:12,480 --> 00:55:15,799
Speaker 1: Fo he's had three fouls, It's like, okay, if he's

1281
00:55:15,840 --> 00:55:18,040
Speaker 1: got five fouls, You're like, all right, save it. What

1282
00:55:18,200 --> 00:55:18,759
Speaker 1: is he doing?

1283
00:55:19,040 --> 00:55:21,840
Speaker 3: What is he doing the third quarter? He starts and

1284
00:55:21,880 --> 00:55:25,359
Speaker 3: he plays six minutes no matter what. Like you look

1285
00:55:25,360 --> 00:55:28,000
Speaker 3: around the league, donc just playing that entire third quarter,

1286
00:55:28,080 --> 00:55:32,279
Speaker 3: Kawhi doing the same thing, but not happening with with

1287
00:55:32,560 --> 00:55:35,080
Speaker 3: with Jannis, I think he could have been even better.

1288
00:55:35,200 --> 00:55:38,360
Speaker 3: There's nobody who's going to stop him. Inside nobody. He

1289
00:55:38,640 --> 00:55:41,400
Speaker 3: was dancing around Blake Griffin when he wanted to, and

1290
00:55:41,520 --> 00:55:43,720
Speaker 3: yeah he had thirty four in the end, but Blake

1291
00:55:44,040 --> 00:55:46,759
Speaker 3: can not stick with him. He never really had the

1292
00:55:46,800 --> 00:55:50,239
Speaker 3: lateral footspeed as a defender, and it ain't happening now,

1293
00:55:50,360 --> 00:55:54,279
Speaker 3: especially having to play heavier minutes because Nick Claxon's staying

1294
00:55:54,320 --> 00:55:57,480
Speaker 3: in that backup role. Yeah, I think Jannis could dominate

1295
00:55:57,600 --> 00:56:00,719
Speaker 3: and and Brook Lopez can also dominate if he's got

1296
00:56:01,280 --> 00:56:03,120
Speaker 3: Kevin Durant on him. I mean he just has to

1297
00:56:03,160 --> 00:56:04,920
Speaker 3: stand under the hoop and get Tippins and he did

1298
00:56:05,120 --> 00:56:08,000
Speaker 3: a few times. He was showing the size. But they

1299
00:56:08,760 --> 00:56:11,400
Speaker 3: just have to do that more and yeah, if I

1300
00:56:11,480 --> 00:56:14,239
Speaker 3: guess if the threes fall a little bit more, but

1301
00:56:15,440 --> 00:56:19,400
Speaker 3: the same Yeah, Sam Schumann's pointing out that Kyrie Irving

1302
00:56:19,560 --> 00:56:23,439
Speaker 3: rested only one minute in each half. But what came

1303
00:56:23,560 --> 00:56:27,640
Speaker 3: through for the Brooklyn Nets is that they have supporting

1304
00:56:27,719 --> 00:56:32,239
Speaker 3: cast that people all the time just overlook. They just

1305
00:56:32,320 --> 00:56:34,759
Speaker 3: overlook this supporting cast of Brooklyn Nets. Everybody just talks

1306
00:56:34,800 --> 00:56:37,879
Speaker 3: about Durant and Kyrie Irving And now these stories coming

1307
00:56:37,880 --> 00:56:39,320
Speaker 3: out of the story in the New York Times this

1308
00:56:39,400 --> 00:56:41,920
Speaker 3: week and asking what are the Brooklyn Nets? Are they

1309
00:56:41,960 --> 00:56:44,160
Speaker 3: a basketball team even just because of the way they

1310
00:56:44,200 --> 00:56:48,800
Speaker 3: were put together? Did you see Number one Blake obviously

1311
00:56:48,920 --> 00:56:51,719
Speaker 3: a monstrous performance as a supporting cast member, and then

1312
00:56:51,840 --> 00:56:54,560
Speaker 3: Mike James coming off the bench and just hit and

1313
00:56:54,640 --> 00:56:56,840
Speaker 3: shot after shot for shot, given the ball and giving

1314
00:56:57,800 --> 00:57:01,319
Speaker 3: a lot of responsibility. That just shows that this team

1315
00:57:01,719 --> 00:57:04,399
Speaker 3: has been put together and has been coached all season

1316
00:57:04,480 --> 00:57:07,120
Speaker 3: long for these guys to know their rules. In Game one,

1317
00:57:07,600 --> 00:57:10,279
Speaker 3: after a superstar goes down and Bruce Brown comes in

1318
00:57:10,360 --> 00:57:13,480
Speaker 3: for that superstar and him doing a great job of

1319
00:57:13,880 --> 00:57:16,160
Speaker 3: never shooting in the mid range three pointers or dugs

1320
00:57:16,240 --> 00:57:18,920
Speaker 3: like they they passed the ball so beautifully for a

1321
00:57:19,000 --> 00:57:21,520
Speaker 3: team that you just think that's a bunch of superstars.

1322
00:57:21,600 --> 00:57:25,960
Speaker 3: Blake Griffin was getting scores off of beautiful passes, everybody

1323
00:57:26,360 --> 00:57:29,840
Speaker 3: passing the ball, So so well, yeah, there's big three.

1324
00:57:29,920 --> 00:57:32,280
Speaker 3: Didn't play a lot together, only eight games together, but

1325
00:57:32,480 --> 00:57:35,280
Speaker 3: they're big twos. Whether it's you know, Durant and Irving

1326
00:57:35,440 --> 00:57:38,160
Speaker 3: or Irving and Harden or whoever. They played together, and

1327
00:57:38,200 --> 00:57:40,080
Speaker 3: the rest of the guys played together. And Nash has

1328
00:57:40,120 --> 00:57:43,000
Speaker 3: coached up this team and yeah, now we have an

1329
00:57:43,000 --> 00:57:44,840
Speaker 3: even series. I think if James Harden is going to

1330
00:57:44,880 --> 00:57:47,280
Speaker 3: be out for a long time, to me that that

1331
00:57:47,760 --> 00:57:48,480
Speaker 3: makes it interesting.

1332
00:57:48,840 --> 00:57:50,320
Speaker 1: What do you think, Lely, you add to this game

1333
00:57:50,400 --> 00:57:51,560
Speaker 1: one here from the victory from the.

1334
00:57:51,560 --> 00:57:53,800
Speaker 4: Nets, Well, some good and bad. The good is I

1335
00:57:53,880 --> 00:57:55,959
Speaker 4: do think they took a lot of bad shots. Brent Forbes,

1336
00:57:56,000 --> 00:57:57,600
Speaker 4: who had a great series against that, he came out

1337
00:57:57,600 --> 00:57:59,400
Speaker 4: and just threw up a couple of clunkers which I

1338
00:57:59,560 --> 00:58:01,840
Speaker 4: just thought weren't in rhythm shot. So that goes back

1339
00:58:01,880 --> 00:58:04,240
Speaker 4: to their three point shooting wasn't very good. I thought

1340
00:58:04,360 --> 00:58:06,240
Speaker 4: Yannis was good, but again I agree, I think he

1341
00:58:06,280 --> 00:58:08,560
Speaker 4: should be even more dominant because they can't.

1342
00:58:08,440 --> 00:58:12,000
Speaker 1: Gives it's a win for the nets. Anytime Yannis has

1343
00:58:12,080 --> 00:58:14,840
Speaker 1: the ball at the top of like the three point line,

1344
00:58:14,920 --> 00:58:17,600
Speaker 1: and it's like slows down. He is like looking at everything.

1345
00:58:17,800 --> 00:58:21,000
Speaker 1: That's a win every time for any opposition. Like he

1346
00:58:21,080 --> 00:58:22,840
Speaker 1: needs to be in the post all the time or

1347
00:58:22,880 --> 00:58:25,160
Speaker 1: on the move catching it. Then you're laughing because nobody's

1348
00:58:25,200 --> 00:58:26,240
Speaker 1: gonna go to me right now. And he's still in

1349
00:58:26,240 --> 00:58:28,280
Speaker 1: a monster game. But every possession where he like we

1350
00:58:28,360 --> 00:58:30,520
Speaker 1: saw it time again against the Raptors against the Heat,

1351
00:58:30,960 --> 00:58:32,960
Speaker 1: where he has the ball and he's like, all right,

1352
00:58:33,040 --> 00:58:35,440
Speaker 1: I'm gonna crash in there, and everybody's just like waiting

1353
00:58:35,520 --> 00:58:38,480
Speaker 1: for it. It's like, that's bad. Don't do that. Get

1354
00:58:38,560 --> 00:58:41,000
Speaker 1: that out of your repertoire there. Otherwise, I loved what

1355
00:58:41,080 --> 00:58:41,640
Speaker 1: I saw from here.

1356
00:58:41,680 --> 00:58:43,720
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, he took five three pointers, but only three

1357
00:58:43,760 --> 00:58:46,360
Speaker 4: free throws, missed all of his three of his three

1358
00:58:46,480 --> 00:58:48,240
Speaker 4: free throws. That to me, he's got to have double

1359
00:58:48,280 --> 00:58:50,440
Speaker 4: digit free throws at least put the pressure right on

1360
00:58:50,520 --> 00:58:53,919
Speaker 4: that nets defense. And okay, two for five not bad,

1361
00:58:54,000 --> 00:58:57,760
Speaker 4: but just you don't need those ones right now Yannis anyway.

1362
00:58:58,240 --> 00:59:01,040
Speaker 4: But the concern really is is Budenholzer in the minutes

1363
00:59:01,040 --> 00:59:03,200
Speaker 4: and after the game, you know, he said, Look, they

1364
00:59:03,240 --> 00:59:05,320
Speaker 4: all want to play forty eight minutes. Sure, but we've

1365
00:59:05,360 --> 00:59:07,200
Speaker 4: got a deep team. We've got to take advantage of it.

1366
00:59:07,360 --> 00:59:09,040
Speaker 4: Keep them ready, keep them fresh. But they want to

1367
00:59:09,080 --> 00:59:11,520
Speaker 4: be out there. Yeah, everyone wants them out there. You've

1368
00:59:11,520 --> 00:59:13,160
Speaker 4: got to put them out there. Don't fall into that

1369
00:59:13,280 --> 00:59:15,000
Speaker 4: trap of like I want to keep them fresh for

1370
00:59:15,040 --> 00:59:15,800
Speaker 4: a longer series.

1371
00:59:16,160 --> 00:59:16,800
Speaker 2: Win this game.

1372
00:59:16,920 --> 00:59:19,400
Speaker 4: Like we saw with ty Lou, basically to win the series,

1373
00:59:19,440 --> 00:59:20,880
Speaker 4: do whatever you have to do, and that means just

1374
00:59:20,960 --> 00:59:23,240
Speaker 4: go with your starters and go with your star players

1375
00:59:23,280 --> 00:59:23,800
Speaker 4: heavy minutes.

1376
00:59:23,840 --> 00:59:24,640
Speaker 2: You just have to do that.

1377
00:59:25,000 --> 00:59:27,000
Speaker 4: And I just thought that was a bad mistake by

1378
00:59:27,360 --> 00:59:29,920
Speaker 4: Mike Budenholzer, which hopefully he corrects, but we've seen in

1379
00:59:29,960 --> 00:59:32,640
Speaker 4: the past this has cost his coach teams in the playoffs.

1380
00:59:32,680 --> 00:59:34,880
Speaker 4: So I think, yeah, I think the Bucks come away

1381
00:59:34,880 --> 00:59:36,960
Speaker 4: from this one going gee, that was a pretty bad one,

1382
00:59:37,320 --> 00:59:39,120
Speaker 4: like it was against the Heat where they survived in

1383
00:59:39,200 --> 00:59:41,120
Speaker 4: that game one where they didn't play that bad, didn't

1384
00:59:41,120 --> 00:59:43,320
Speaker 4: play that well. But if they can tighten things up

1385
00:59:43,360 --> 00:59:45,680
Speaker 4: in this in game two here and go inside a

1386
00:59:45,720 --> 00:59:47,919
Speaker 4: lot more and maybe just hit hit more than six

1387
00:59:47,960 --> 00:59:49,280
Speaker 4: of thirty threes, I think they're going to be in

1388
00:59:49,280 --> 00:59:52,400
Speaker 4: a better chance to win this game because I didn't

1389
00:59:52,440 --> 00:59:55,760
Speaker 4: think that the Nets really had to play all that well.

1390
00:59:55,800 --> 00:59:57,880
Speaker 4: I thought I thought they played well enough to win

1391
00:59:57,960 --> 01:00:00,680
Speaker 4: the game. But I thought Middleton Andrew Holiday as well

1392
01:00:01,160 --> 01:00:03,280
Speaker 4: took some bad shots, you know, sort of shots that

1393
01:00:03,320 --> 01:00:06,080
Speaker 4: they weren't really forced into from great defense from the Nets.

1394
01:00:06,120 --> 01:00:08,200
Speaker 4: It was more just sort of like settling a little

1395
01:00:08,240 --> 01:00:10,439
Speaker 4: bit sloppy, a little bit lazy, So lots to clean

1396
01:00:10,520 --> 01:00:12,400
Speaker 4: up here for the Nets. For the Bucks, I think

1397
01:00:12,440 --> 01:00:15,040
Speaker 4: they're in a really good position, but you're gonna really

1398
01:00:15,120 --> 01:00:16,960
Speaker 4: have to see that in game two to be convinced

1399
01:00:17,280 --> 01:00:18,960
Speaker 4: that they can take this series. They have to go

1400
01:00:19,080 --> 01:00:20,600
Speaker 4: back to Milwaukee with a split. I think.

1401
01:00:21,120 --> 01:00:24,000
Speaker 1: Yeah. Chris Middleton six of twenty three in Game one,

1402
01:00:24,160 --> 01:00:25,720
Speaker 1: I mean, he hit the glass, you got a couple

1403
01:00:25,760 --> 01:00:28,240
Speaker 1: of sists. Didn't do much else defensively there in terms

1404
01:00:28,280 --> 01:00:31,160
Speaker 1: of the box score, but he has these twelve thirteen

1405
01:00:31,200 --> 01:00:33,240
Speaker 1: point games in playoff series. I brought it up. He

1406
01:00:33,320 --> 01:00:35,040
Speaker 1: was my key of the series. Chris Middleton has to

1407
01:00:35,120 --> 01:00:38,080
Speaker 1: be way better offensively and has to hit some of

1408
01:00:38,120 --> 01:00:40,400
Speaker 1: these trees. I mean, it was Joe Harris hitting basically

1409
01:00:40,440 --> 01:00:42,120
Speaker 1: the equivalent of the entire Bucks team when it came

1410
01:00:42,120 --> 01:00:44,000
Speaker 1: to three point shooting, right, Joe Harris with five and

1411
01:00:44,040 --> 01:00:46,120
Speaker 1: then the Bucks. Well, you say TK was six, I

1412
01:00:46,160 --> 01:00:48,680
Speaker 1: guess overall with the six of thirty. So yeah, they're

1413
01:00:48,680 --> 01:00:50,440
Speaker 1: gonna shoot better and this should be a good series.

1414
01:00:50,520 --> 01:00:53,080
Speaker 1: But especially with ode Harden, it does make it a

1415
01:00:53,120 --> 01:00:56,640
Speaker 1: little more fair. But still, Middleton Andrew, you're right, they

1416
01:00:56,680 --> 01:00:58,920
Speaker 1: have to be, like we said, they got to be

1417
01:00:59,080 --> 01:01:01,440
Speaker 1: jockeying with these other stars on the next team. You know,

1418
01:01:01,520 --> 01:01:03,560
Speaker 1: you're not gonna maybe a classic Katie and Kyrie, but

1419
01:01:03,600 --> 01:01:06,040
Speaker 1: you gotta be a hell of a lot closer, especially what.

1420
01:01:06,080 --> 01:01:08,360
Speaker 2: Middleton gave you in game one, and they got those

1421
01:01:08,400 --> 01:01:12,360
Speaker 2: two got outscored by Blake Griffin and Mike James. And

1422
01:01:12,800 --> 01:01:14,919
Speaker 2: you know, if TNT is going to be interviewing Blake

1423
01:01:14,960 --> 01:01:17,560
Speaker 2: Griffin and Mike James immediately after the game, guess what

1424
01:01:17,840 --> 01:01:21,600
Speaker 2: the opponent lost. Because if the third and fourth options

1425
01:01:21,680 --> 01:01:23,440
Speaker 2: on your team are the ones that are getting the

1426
01:01:23,480 --> 01:01:26,440
Speaker 2: big podium games then the other then your team probably

1427
01:01:26,520 --> 01:01:30,000
Speaker 2: looked alright. So yeah, chalk it up, it's over. Bucks

1428
01:01:30,120 --> 01:01:32,960
Speaker 2: be better. In game two. As the stream team is

1429
01:01:33,000 --> 01:01:36,480
Speaker 2: pointing out here, Joel Embiid played more minutes than Janisanta

1430
01:01:36,520 --> 01:01:39,040
Speaker 2: Chakupo did. That doesn't make any sense. Just play the

1431
01:01:39,080 --> 01:01:41,600
Speaker 2: guy forty minutes and the Bucks will get a win.

1432
01:01:41,960 --> 01:01:42,160
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1433
01:01:42,480 --> 01:01:45,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, does Bud want to get fired? Has he done coaching? Millwhite?

1434
01:01:45,560 --> 01:01:45,600
Speaker 3: Like?

1435
01:01:47,240 --> 01:01:48,920
Speaker 4: Janis will get his rest if they're up twenty in

1436
01:01:48,960 --> 01:01:52,520
Speaker 4: the fourth quarter. That's worry about you, like, But it

1437
01:01:52,680 --> 01:01:54,960
Speaker 4: was just crazy to see in the first game, especially

1438
01:01:55,000 --> 01:01:57,400
Speaker 4: again with James Harden. Now it's like, okay, you've got

1439
01:01:57,440 --> 01:02:01,080
Speaker 4: the advantage, now, really take advantage of that. But instead

1440
01:02:01,320 --> 01:02:03,800
Speaker 4: three free throws to simply not good enough. There's not

1441
01:02:04,000 --> 01:02:06,440
Speaker 4: enough pressure on that defense. Nick Claxton, I thought it

1442
01:02:06,480 --> 01:02:08,840
Speaker 4: was actually gave them some decent minutes. But again he

1443
01:02:08,960 --> 01:02:11,640
Speaker 4: shouldn't be able to stop, yes, and not that he was,

1444
01:02:11,720 --> 01:02:14,000
Speaker 4: but I mean, you know, if he's out there, Yannis,

1445
01:02:14,040 --> 01:02:16,120
Speaker 4: that paint is open. Go inside every single time.

1446
01:02:16,560 --> 01:02:18,960
Speaker 1: All Right, We got a bunch of coaching news to

1447
01:02:19,040 --> 01:02:20,560
Speaker 1: get to here. I know we're running a little long

1448
01:02:20,600 --> 01:02:23,560
Speaker 1: on a Monday, but first our final break, I should say,

1449
01:02:23,880 --> 01:02:28,320
Speaker 1: from our here from our sponsors. All right, so happy

1450
01:02:28,400 --> 01:02:30,720
Speaker 1: hours back. That's the big news in that YEA on

1451
01:02:30,840 --> 01:02:34,480
Speaker 1: Thursday night with a little Jim Beam concoction from Ley.

1452
01:02:36,200 --> 01:02:39,280
Speaker 3: Yes of ours. Wait, yeah, pretty big news that Jim

1453
01:02:39,440 --> 01:02:43,840
Speaker 3: is a James James Beam James very formal.

1454
01:02:43,920 --> 01:02:45,640
Speaker 4: We might have to get the topad out for this one.

1455
01:02:47,280 --> 01:02:50,960
Speaker 4: Consuming and indulging in the summer of James Beams of finest.

1456
01:02:52,440 --> 01:02:54,680
Speaker 1: Let's not forget that it was during a happy hour

1457
01:02:54,840 --> 01:02:57,800
Speaker 1: when a bunch of Jim Beam just to ride or

1458
01:02:57,840 --> 01:02:59,320
Speaker 1: is that during a beach stepping No, I can't.

1459
01:02:59,560 --> 01:02:59,960
Speaker 4: I think it was.

1460
01:03:01,400 --> 01:03:05,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, the bottles had arrived at Lisa and he had

1461
01:03:05,240 --> 01:03:06,880
Speaker 1: to go get them because he saw a guy on

1462
01:03:07,040 --> 01:03:08,760
Speaker 1: his ring door bell and he had to leave the

1463
01:03:08,800 --> 01:03:12,760
Speaker 1: show we were recording. Do you still have the gym

1464
01:03:12,840 --> 01:03:13,200
Speaker 1: beam Lee?

1465
01:03:13,760 --> 01:03:17,000
Speaker 3: I have some of it, Yes, some of it. That's

1466
01:03:17,040 --> 01:03:18,120
Speaker 3: a sample some of it. Yeah.

1467
01:03:18,120 --> 01:03:19,640
Speaker 4: It used to be a big Jim beamhead back in

1468
01:03:19,720 --> 01:03:22,560
Speaker 4: the day, so it's like stepping back in time. Yeah,

1469
01:03:22,840 --> 01:03:25,200
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm just thinking about it. Not nine o'clock.

1470
01:03:25,320 --> 01:03:28,720
Speaker 4: Our time will be eleven am, East Coast Australia time.

1471
01:03:29,000 --> 01:03:31,320
Speaker 4: My mate louis big bourbon Jim Beamhead.

1472
01:03:31,640 --> 01:03:34,000
Speaker 1: He'll probably join us for a sick or two, any

1473
01:03:34,080 --> 01:03:34,880
Speaker 1: excuse for him.

1474
01:03:35,000 --> 01:03:38,640
Speaker 4: So okay, eleven am on a Friday, middle of day

1475
01:03:38,680 --> 01:03:41,080
Speaker 4: for work anyway, mind he'll slip on in. He'll be fine,

1476
01:03:41,920 --> 01:03:42,240
Speaker 4: all right.

1477
01:03:43,680 --> 01:03:48,560
Speaker 1: Time Happy hour this Thursday night, we'll be back hanging

1478
01:03:48,600 --> 01:03:50,920
Speaker 1: out here on the live stream, just kicking it while

1479
01:03:50,960 --> 01:03:53,360
Speaker 1: we drink our Jim Beam and I assume it will

1480
01:03:53,360 --> 01:03:55,480
Speaker 1: be a game or two on, so I'm sure we'll

1481
01:03:55,480 --> 01:03:57,360
Speaker 1: have our eye on those playoff games as well. All right,

1482
01:03:58,000 --> 01:03:59,960
Speaker 1: let's start wrapping this up. We're gotta get to this

1483
01:04:00,120 --> 01:04:02,000
Speaker 1: coaching news quick here, and we'll try and make it

1484
01:04:02,000 --> 01:04:04,360
Speaker 1: as quick as possible. After another first round playoff exit

1485
01:04:04,440 --> 01:04:07,280
Speaker 1: in five seasons, the Blazers and coach Terry Starts mutually

1486
01:04:07,360 --> 01:04:10,640
Speaker 1: agreed to part ways on Friday. Starts leaves Portland as

1487
01:04:10,680 --> 01:04:13,600
Speaker 1: the second winnick winning its coach in franchise history, including

1488
01:04:13,640 --> 01:04:16,200
Speaker 1: eight consecutive playoff appearances, which is the longest streak in

1489
01:04:16,320 --> 01:04:18,800
Speaker 1: the league. Lely, how shocked were you by this Terry

1490
01:04:18,800 --> 01:04:20,240
Speaker 1: Startts news where he is moving on?

1491
01:04:20,800 --> 01:04:22,840
Speaker 4: Not at all. I think we all probably thought this

1492
01:04:23,000 --> 01:04:25,200
Speaker 4: was happening. He's been there, as you say, nine seasons,

1493
01:04:25,240 --> 01:04:27,280
Speaker 4: and the Blazers have the longest active playoff streak at

1494
01:04:27,320 --> 01:04:30,800
Speaker 4: eight seasons, only one Conference finals appearance to show for that,

1495
01:04:31,520 --> 01:04:34,400
Speaker 4: But they were never really a title contender in that time,

1496
01:04:34,480 --> 01:04:36,880
Speaker 4: I don't think, and I think that shows that the

1497
01:04:37,000 --> 01:04:39,680
Speaker 4: roster was never that great. They have one superstar, and

1498
01:04:39,760 --> 01:04:42,360
Speaker 4: no question about, they have an MVP caliber talent, they

1499
01:04:42,440 --> 01:04:44,760
Speaker 4: have an All Star caliber talent, but other than that,

1500
01:04:44,880 --> 01:04:47,240
Speaker 4: they've had a lot of sort of interchangeable role players

1501
01:04:47,480 --> 01:04:49,600
Speaker 4: who I think Terry Startts has gotten a lot out

1502
01:04:49,640 --> 01:04:52,000
Speaker 4: of those guys. You know, he's a good consistent coach.

1503
01:04:52,360 --> 01:04:54,680
Speaker 4: But they simply were never quite as good as those

1504
01:04:54,800 --> 01:04:56,920
Speaker 4: elite teams. They were sort of better than a lot

1505
01:04:57,000 --> 01:04:59,960
Speaker 4: of teams in the league, but never really a challenge.

1506
01:05:00,080 --> 01:05:00,240
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1507
01:05:00,240 --> 01:05:02,400
Speaker 4: I mean, they also went against the Warriors, who had

1508
01:05:02,480 --> 01:05:05,200
Speaker 4: that five year run of just incredible dominance where the

1509
01:05:05,280 --> 01:05:07,080
Speaker 4: Warriors seem to be the best team in the league

1510
01:05:07,120 --> 01:05:09,600
Speaker 4: for a while. But I think Terry Stotts leaves it

1511
01:05:09,720 --> 01:05:11,440
Speaker 4: was kind of like, listen, we've gone as far as

1512
01:05:11,480 --> 01:05:14,280
Speaker 4: we can together. There's some big changes in store. Therefore,

1513
01:05:14,440 --> 01:05:18,479
Speaker 4: Portland's whispers as already that maybe they even consider something

1514
01:05:18,520 --> 01:05:20,880
Speaker 4: with Damian Lillard. But I certainly think that either he

1515
01:05:21,040 --> 01:05:24,240
Speaker 4: or CJ is gone after this season two. But I

1516
01:05:24,320 --> 01:05:27,160
Speaker 4: think Terry Stott did a fine, you know, an okay job.

1517
01:05:27,280 --> 01:05:30,640
Speaker 4: But considering the roster he had, he couldn't really get

1518
01:05:30,680 --> 01:05:33,000
Speaker 4: them much closer to that. So I think he'll get

1519
01:05:33,000 --> 01:05:35,680
Speaker 4: another job somewhere. I think his record will say, listen,

1520
01:05:35,760 --> 01:05:38,120
Speaker 4: we know what this guy can do. He can get

1521
01:05:38,160 --> 01:05:41,640
Speaker 4: teams to play well enough, but it ultimately always comes

1522
01:05:41,680 --> 01:05:43,680
Speaker 4: down to your roster, and the Blazers never really had

1523
01:05:43,720 --> 01:05:46,880
Speaker 4: a talent roster that was good enough to really get

1524
01:05:46,920 --> 01:05:47,840
Speaker 4: them to the finals.

1525
01:05:48,600 --> 01:05:51,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, Stutts has been the only coach Lillard has ever

1526
01:05:51,120 --> 01:05:53,680
Speaker 1: played for in the NBA, which is pretty mind boggling

1527
01:05:53,720 --> 01:05:55,000
Speaker 1: when you think about it. It's been around for a

1528
01:05:55,080 --> 01:05:57,560
Speaker 1: long time, but he's out, and then task it was weird.

1529
01:05:58,200 --> 01:06:01,400
Speaker 1: Lillard immediately following this news on Friday, basically comes out

1530
01:06:01,440 --> 01:06:04,040
Speaker 1: and says, I want Jason Kind to be the next coach.

1531
01:06:04,800 --> 01:06:08,160
Speaker 1: Everyone's like, oh, okay, it's an Oaklan point guard Hall

1532
01:06:08,200 --> 01:06:10,560
Speaker 1: of Famer. I guess that makes some sense, but wow,

1533
01:06:11,320 --> 01:06:13,400
Speaker 1: going on record with that, are you Lillard? And then

1534
01:06:13,440 --> 01:06:15,440
Speaker 1: it turns around where Jason Kid says, actually, you know,

1535
01:06:15,640 --> 01:06:18,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna pull my name from consideration. This doesn't feel right,

1536
01:06:18,920 --> 01:06:21,160
Speaker 1: probably not the right way to go about hiring a coach,

1537
01:06:22,080 --> 01:06:24,760
Speaker 1: and that he is again he's removing his name from consideration,

1538
01:06:24,840 --> 01:06:26,640
Speaker 1: so there's a bunch of other names being floated around.

1539
01:06:26,720 --> 01:06:29,040
Speaker 1: But it was sort of weird. I would just say,

1540
01:06:29,120 --> 01:06:31,520
Speaker 1: like not the firing of Stots or the mutually agreeing

1541
01:06:31,560 --> 01:06:34,360
Speaker 1: to part ways, but like the quick turnaround of Lillard

1542
01:06:34,440 --> 01:06:36,240
Speaker 1: saying kid and then him saying I don't want this,

1543
01:06:36,400 --> 01:06:38,040
Speaker 1: and then now we go from we figure out where

1544
01:06:38,040 --> 01:06:38,520
Speaker 1: they go from here.

1545
01:06:38,600 --> 01:06:42,520
Speaker 3: That was weird, right, Yeah, the mic was in Lillard's face,

1546
01:06:42,560 --> 01:06:44,120
Speaker 3: and I guess he kind of set a couple of

1547
01:06:44,200 --> 01:06:45,960
Speaker 3: names that he liked. He said Jason Kidd, then he

1548
01:06:45,960 --> 01:06:50,000
Speaker 3: added Chauncey Billings as well, And yeah, I think I

1549
01:06:50,120 --> 01:06:53,480
Speaker 3: don't think Damian Lillard was getting on his stump and

1550
01:06:53,680 --> 01:06:55,920
Speaker 3: just screaming out that's just that guy I want. But

1551
01:06:56,440 --> 01:06:59,440
Speaker 3: he was saying guys that he likes, and yeah, Jay

1552
01:06:59,520 --> 01:07:02,919
Speaker 3: Kid probably caught him off guard, I guess. And yeah,

1553
01:07:03,040 --> 01:07:04,800
Speaker 3: that to me, it was the more surprising part that

1554
01:07:04,880 --> 01:07:09,200
Speaker 3: Jay Kid didn't jump at a job that, you know,

1555
01:07:09,360 --> 01:07:11,320
Speaker 3: with one of the best point guards in the game,

1556
01:07:11,400 --> 01:07:13,440
Speaker 3: one of the best players in the game leading the way,

1557
01:07:13,880 --> 01:07:16,240
Speaker 3: seemed a little surprising to me. But Jay Kid not interested.

1558
01:07:16,480 --> 01:07:19,080
Speaker 3: Maybe Cheunsea Billips is interested a guy that they should

1559
01:07:19,440 --> 01:07:22,440
Speaker 3: definitely want is a defensive minded coach. That's that's the

1560
01:07:22,480 --> 01:07:26,160
Speaker 3: key here. Terry Stotts took a step back defensively. Damian

1561
01:07:26,200 --> 01:07:29,520
Speaker 3: Lillard's gonna bully that offense. That offense could be great,

1562
01:07:30,000 --> 01:07:33,040
Speaker 3: but you know Terry Stotts, Yeah, all of his years,

1563
01:07:33,120 --> 01:07:36,400
Speaker 3: he had a couple good several good defensive years. But

1564
01:07:36,560 --> 01:07:38,800
Speaker 3: the way it dropped back to twenty ninth, they're not

1565
01:07:38,800 --> 01:07:41,680
Speaker 3: gonna beat anybody. And so somebody who can really fire

1566
01:07:41,760 --> 01:07:43,959
Speaker 3: up that defense, and it's gotta be some There's gotta

1567
01:07:43,960 --> 01:07:46,080
Speaker 3: be some personnel changes. I still think that the back

1568
01:07:46,160 --> 01:07:48,360
Speaker 3: line of Nurkic is probably gonna be different next year.

1569
01:07:49,080 --> 01:07:52,880
Speaker 3: So who's that defensive guy? I don't know, Maybe asked Dame.

1570
01:07:52,960 --> 01:07:55,680
Speaker 3: He knows more guys than me than I do. But somebody,

1571
01:07:56,360 --> 01:07:59,760
Speaker 3: somebody's got to be able to fire up that bunch. Yeah.

1572
01:07:59,880 --> 01:08:01,800
Speaker 3: I'm trying to stall here, trying to think of somebody,

1573
01:08:01,840 --> 01:08:02,680
Speaker 3: because what.

1574
01:08:02,720 --> 01:08:04,800
Speaker 1: About Jack Gundy? His name has always come up for

1575
01:08:04,880 --> 01:08:07,600
Speaker 1: these things classic, Yeah, I mean that's the thing that

1576
01:08:07,680 --> 01:08:10,360
Speaker 1: happens with Yeah. No, I haven't seen Kenny Spith attached

1577
01:08:10,360 --> 01:08:13,080
Speaker 1: to this one, surprisingly, but Mike d'antoni's name obviously you're

1578
01:08:13,120 --> 01:08:15,800
Speaker 1: thrown around. Now there's not a maybe not a defensive

1579
01:08:16,439 --> 01:08:18,479
Speaker 1: by any means, but you know his name is being

1580
01:08:18,520 --> 01:08:20,639
Speaker 1: attached to this Jounty Billips. Like you said, I guess

1581
01:08:20,720 --> 01:08:24,000
Speaker 1: Juwan Howard there now coaching at Michigan. There's a bunch

1582
01:08:24,080 --> 01:08:28,040
Speaker 1: of of course, you know, assistant coaches like David Vantrepool

1583
01:08:28,120 --> 01:08:30,720
Speaker 1: is always a possibility, I think. But Trey, what do

1584
01:08:30,760 --> 01:08:32,599
Speaker 1: you think who could be coaching the Blazer? Who would

1585
01:08:32,600 --> 01:08:33,960
Speaker 1: you like to see coaching the Blazers? And what was

1586
01:08:34,000 --> 01:08:36,720
Speaker 1: your takeaway from Stotts moving on? My take is that

1587
01:08:36,840 --> 01:08:39,080
Speaker 1: this is the first of many moves. Because I'm with y'all.

1588
01:08:39,400 --> 01:08:43,799
Speaker 2: Terry Stotts wasn't the solution, but also is not the problem,

1589
01:08:43,840 --> 01:08:45,880
Speaker 2: I don't think for the Blazers. They've ran the same

1590
01:08:45,920 --> 01:08:48,840
Speaker 2: team out there for basically five seasons, and you're seeing

1591
01:08:48,880 --> 01:08:51,240
Speaker 2: the same team. They're great on offense, they're bad on defense.

1592
01:08:51,680 --> 01:08:53,599
Speaker 2: Is that on Terry Stotts or is that on trying

1593
01:08:53,640 --> 01:08:57,160
Speaker 2: to build a defense around Damian Lillard. C J McCollum

1594
01:08:57,280 --> 01:08:59,240
Speaker 2: and half a season of use of Nurkic, a new

1595
01:08:59,320 --> 01:09:01,920
Speaker 2: voice that's gonna help. But honestly, how do you improve

1596
01:09:02,040 --> 01:09:04,760
Speaker 2: this team. They traded two picks for Robert Covington, a

1597
01:09:04,880 --> 01:09:07,519
Speaker 2: solid defender, but not a guy that made any sort

1598
01:09:07,520 --> 01:09:11,120
Speaker 2: of an impact on them defensively for the rankings for

1599
01:09:11,360 --> 01:09:14,080
Speaker 2: the entire season. Their other big signing last year, Derek

1600
01:09:14,120 --> 01:09:17,360
Speaker 2: Jones Junior, can't even play in the playoffs. At this point.

1601
01:09:17,680 --> 01:09:21,160
Speaker 2: CJ McCollums not bringing back a lot, Useuf Nurkic not

1602
01:09:21,320 --> 01:09:24,400
Speaker 2: bringing back a lot. They're towards the end of their careers.

1603
01:09:24,439 --> 01:09:28,120
Speaker 2: They probably you missed the peak for when you could

1604
01:09:28,120 --> 01:09:31,120
Speaker 2: trade those guys. Listening to Zach Lows podcast, you get

1605
01:09:31,200 --> 01:09:35,160
Speaker 2: the feeling that Portland almost has to explore Damian Lillard trade. That's,

1606
01:09:35,200 --> 01:09:38,800
Speaker 2: of course completely complicated by the fact that he's the

1607
01:09:38,920 --> 01:09:41,320
Speaker 2: guy who in the league is the most like, I'm

1608
01:09:41,479 --> 01:09:44,760
Speaker 2: never leaving my team. I'm never having a super team.

1609
01:09:45,400 --> 01:09:47,280
Speaker 2: So I don't know what the Blazers are gonna do here.

1610
01:09:47,320 --> 01:09:50,120
Speaker 2: They had to make a move, but to me, Terry

1611
01:09:50,160 --> 01:09:52,120
Speaker 2: Stotts is kind of like number three on the list

1612
01:09:52,200 --> 01:09:54,160
Speaker 2: of the moves they should make. Number one is the GM.

1613
01:09:54,200 --> 01:09:56,200
Speaker 2: They got to find somebody who brings in better players.

1614
01:09:56,360 --> 01:09:58,200
Speaker 2: Number two, they gotta get better players and then you

1615
01:09:58,280 --> 01:09:59,320
Speaker 2: can worry about the coach.

1616
01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:02,799
Speaker 1: Other coaching new Steve Clifford not returning to coach the Magic.

1617
01:10:03,680 --> 01:10:06,200
Speaker 1: They've mutually agreed to part ways. Nobody's getting fired, by

1618
01:10:06,200 --> 01:10:08,679
Speaker 1: the way, everybody's just mutually agreeing to go their separate

1619
01:10:08,720 --> 01:10:11,360
Speaker 1: ways here. But during his three seasons in Orlando, Clifford

1620
01:10:11,400 --> 01:10:13,400
Speaker 1: led the Magic to a ninety six and one thirty

1621
01:10:13,439 --> 01:10:17,360
Speaker 1: one record, but two playoff appearances, And so in the end,

1622
01:10:17,520 --> 01:10:20,840
Speaker 1: it sounds like the timelines of the Magic's rebuild, which

1623
01:10:20,880 --> 01:10:23,639
Speaker 1: they're really leaning into, and then Clifford's you know, station

1624
01:10:24,040 --> 01:10:26,439
Speaker 1: within the league with that team, they just no longer aligned.

1625
01:10:26,479 --> 01:10:28,240
Speaker 1: That was like, what was just saying that that's the

1626
01:10:28,360 --> 01:10:31,599
Speaker 1: real reason they're parting ways here. Maybe Terry Stotts immediately

1627
01:10:31,680 --> 01:10:33,639
Speaker 1: goes to Orlando if he wants a job there. Leah

1628
01:10:33,680 --> 01:10:36,000
Speaker 1: could be a possibility. But we now have the Blazers

1629
01:10:36,040 --> 01:10:38,000
Speaker 1: looking for a coach, we have the Celtics of course

1630
01:10:38,040 --> 01:10:40,160
Speaker 1: looking for a coach, and the Magic in the mix

1631
01:10:40,560 --> 01:10:43,320
Speaker 1: potentially still the Pacers. I don't know what's going on

1632
01:10:43,439 --> 01:10:46,000
Speaker 1: with Nate Yorkrin, if he's going to hold onto his job,

1633
01:10:46,640 --> 01:10:49,200
Speaker 1: and I don't think the Wizards have officially come out

1634
01:10:49,240 --> 01:10:52,080
Speaker 1: and said no Scotti Brooks is our guy. We're still

1635
01:10:52,160 --> 01:10:53,599
Speaker 1: run with him. So there could be another one there

1636
01:10:53,680 --> 01:10:55,880
Speaker 1: could be looking at anywhere with three to five jobs

1637
01:10:56,520 --> 01:10:59,519
Speaker 1: that could be available. But yeah, Clifford, moving on. I

1638
01:10:59,560 --> 01:11:02,120
Speaker 1: guess this is not much of a shock to anyone

1639
01:11:02,320 --> 01:11:05,320
Speaker 1: probably here on this on this zoom meeting here today,

1640
01:11:05,439 --> 01:11:08,519
Speaker 1: because yeah, they're just like, we don't we need we

1641
01:11:08,600 --> 01:11:11,720
Speaker 1: need almost like almost like a Lloyd Pierce, I guess,

1642
01:11:11,840 --> 01:11:15,280
Speaker 1: or something like that, a young probably I'm guessing, an

1643
01:11:15,280 --> 01:11:17,760
Speaker 1: assistant coach on some roster somewhere to come in here

1644
01:11:17,800 --> 01:11:20,519
Speaker 1: and get maybe his first crack at the rebuilding task

1645
01:11:20,680 --> 01:11:22,679
Speaker 1: of like the Orlando Magic with some of their young

1646
01:11:22,720 --> 01:11:23,320
Speaker 1: talent over there.

1647
01:11:24,280 --> 01:11:26,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think Steve Clifford would be a great

1648
01:11:26,600 --> 01:11:28,600
Speaker 3: now talking about it, would be a great candidate for

1649
01:11:28,680 --> 01:11:31,880
Speaker 3: the Portland job. He he made those Orlando Magic teams

1650
01:11:32,200 --> 01:11:34,639
Speaker 3: work their butts off on the defensive end. And yeah,

1651
01:11:34,760 --> 01:11:37,759
Speaker 3: Terry Stotts in Orlando, maybe they could trade Stotts, trade spots.

1652
01:11:38,479 --> 01:11:42,880
Speaker 3: Clifford and Terry right there, done and done. But yeah,

1653
01:11:42,920 --> 01:11:44,800
Speaker 3: I think I think Steve Clifford is a really really

1654
01:11:44,880 --> 01:11:47,599
Speaker 3: good coach. He's a really good x's and No's coach. That, yeah,

1655
01:11:47,680 --> 01:11:52,799
Speaker 3: would probably benefit from better players rather than a rebuilt

1656
01:11:52,800 --> 01:11:54,960
Speaker 3: but he would do a great job. Yeah, just kind

1657
01:11:55,000 --> 01:11:57,839
Speaker 3: of you know, working around the edges with great players

1658
01:11:57,920 --> 01:12:01,040
Speaker 3: rather than having to go at a again, you know,

1659
01:12:01,160 --> 01:12:03,080
Speaker 3: starting from the bottom up. I guess I guess he

1660
01:12:03,120 --> 01:12:05,040
Speaker 3: didn't want to do that, but I would think of

1661
01:12:05,080 --> 01:12:07,639
Speaker 3: Steve Clifford watching him on the sideline to never ever

1662
01:12:07,800 --> 01:12:10,240
Speaker 3: want to mutually part ways from anything. He just seems

1663
01:12:10,280 --> 01:12:15,479
Speaker 3: like such a hard worker. But yeah, maybe the Magic, Yeah,

1664
01:12:15,680 --> 01:12:17,600
Speaker 3: I guess giving him his wish if he wants to

1665
01:12:18,000 --> 01:12:20,240
Speaker 3: move on, if there is a job out there for him,

1666
01:12:20,280 --> 01:12:22,120
Speaker 3: because he is a really really good coach, and there

1667
01:12:22,160 --> 01:12:26,280
Speaker 3: are you know, after you know, you mentioned David Vangerpool,

1668
01:12:26,600 --> 01:12:28,960
Speaker 3: there's a bunch of good coaches out there that should

1669
01:12:29,120 --> 01:12:32,479
Speaker 3: you know, get a crack at something like the Orlando Magic,

1670
01:12:32,600 --> 01:12:34,720
Speaker 3: like trying to build it from the bottom up.

1671
01:12:35,280 --> 01:12:36,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would hope. So I would hope it's like

1672
01:12:37,000 --> 01:12:40,360
Speaker 1: at least a refreshing new name in Orlando. And you're right,

1673
01:12:40,439 --> 01:12:42,840
Speaker 1: Clifford will be on another team somewhere. Maybe he'll take

1674
01:12:42,840 --> 01:12:44,600
Speaker 1: an assistant job, maybe take a year off. Same for

1675
01:12:44,640 --> 01:12:46,479
Speaker 1: stunts like who knows, I'm sure these guys are burned

1676
01:12:46,479 --> 01:12:48,920
Speaker 1: out a little bit at this point. They will be

1677
01:12:49,280 --> 01:12:51,880
Speaker 1: likely another coach on this They'll be coaching another team

1678
01:12:51,960 --> 01:12:54,639
Speaker 1: this league because everybody gets the second, third, fourth crack.

1679
01:12:54,760 --> 01:12:56,680
Speaker 1: But it is nice always try to see a new

1680
01:12:56,760 --> 01:12:58,679
Speaker 1: guy give it a chance. And I think Orlando would

1681
01:12:58,680 --> 01:13:01,439
Speaker 1: be a perfect spot for for a new coach to try.

1682
01:13:01,600 --> 01:13:05,719
Speaker 2: Right Absolutely, they're gonna be looking at a Steven Silas

1683
01:13:05,960 --> 01:13:08,720
Speaker 2: like kind of candidate I would imagine, because they are

1684
01:13:08,800 --> 01:13:11,599
Speaker 2: going to be brutal for the next couple of seasons.

1685
01:13:11,640 --> 01:13:14,920
Speaker 2: As Josh Robbins at The Athletic reported, Steve Clifford was

1686
01:13:15,040 --> 01:13:18,479
Speaker 2: not prepared to sign an extension after the injury riddled

1687
01:13:18,560 --> 01:13:23,360
Speaker 2: Magic abruptly shifted course in late March, veering from win

1688
01:13:23,560 --> 01:13:27,320
Speaker 2: now mode to a full reenbuild. Win now mode for

1689
01:13:27,360 --> 01:13:29,920
Speaker 2: the Orlando Magic right now is forty two wins.

1690
01:13:30,040 --> 01:13:31,519
Speaker 1: They are going to be way.

1691
01:13:31,400 --> 01:13:34,719
Speaker 2: Worse than that. They gotta have some lottery luck coming

1692
01:13:34,800 --> 01:13:37,800
Speaker 2: up here in the draft lottery. They need to hit

1693
01:13:37,840 --> 01:13:40,559
Speaker 2: a number one or a number two pick. They gotta

1694
01:13:40,600 --> 01:13:42,280
Speaker 2: get a Chris Weber, they gotta get a Shack, they

1695
01:13:42,320 --> 01:13:44,519
Speaker 2: gotta get a Dwight. If they end up getting a

1696
01:13:44,600 --> 01:13:48,360
Speaker 2: Victor Oladipo or an Aaron Gordon in this draft. It's

1697
01:13:48,400 --> 01:13:49,840
Speaker 2: just gonna be more of the same for the Magic.

1698
01:13:50,240 --> 01:13:52,400
Speaker 1: Yeah. Anything to add to this Leey Orlando and Clifford

1699
01:13:52,439 --> 01:13:52,720
Speaker 1: party with.

1700
01:13:52,920 --> 01:13:54,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, they blew out the team really at the trade

1701
01:13:54,920 --> 01:13:57,200
Speaker 4: deadline and going with the coach. So it's a full rebuild,

1702
01:13:57,280 --> 01:13:59,880
Speaker 4: full restart there for them. Yeah, but it comes to

1703
01:13:59,880 --> 01:14:01,920
Speaker 4: down out of talent. I think Steve Clifford in two

1704
01:14:01,960 --> 01:14:04,479
Speaker 4: of his three seasons made the players won two games

1705
01:14:04,520 --> 01:14:06,880
Speaker 4: in total, you know, but he just didn't really have

1706
01:14:07,320 --> 01:14:10,080
Speaker 4: a huge roster with a lot of superstar talent. I

1707
01:14:10,120 --> 01:14:13,000
Speaker 4: think Vucevic was the only All Star really. Markel Fords,

1708
01:14:13,040 --> 01:14:15,160
Speaker 4: of course this season, was playing okay, but he got injured.

1709
01:14:15,200 --> 01:14:17,960
Speaker 4: So you know, there's just not much talent. They need

1710
01:14:18,040 --> 01:14:19,479
Speaker 4: those Trey saying that they need to kind of get

1711
01:14:19,560 --> 01:14:22,280
Speaker 4: lucky and get a decent, you know, franchise altering player

1712
01:14:22,320 --> 01:14:25,200
Speaker 4: in there to spark things again because they haven't been

1713
01:14:25,360 --> 01:14:29,320
Speaker 4: very good since basically they traded Dwight and you know

1714
01:14:29,560 --> 01:14:31,479
Speaker 4: that's not really good for the franchise. They need to

1715
01:14:31,520 --> 01:14:34,439
Speaker 4: be better. So Clifford did the sort of a good

1716
01:14:34,479 --> 01:14:37,400
Speaker 4: job with what he had, but ultimately you know it's

1717
01:14:37,439 --> 01:14:39,240
Speaker 4: time for him to move on and start fresh. And

1718
01:14:39,320 --> 01:14:40,960
Speaker 4: I think wonder if Sam Cassell, who's been an AS

1719
01:14:41,000 --> 01:14:43,680
Speaker 4: system forever, we'll, you know, get a look in there,

1720
01:14:43,720 --> 01:14:45,720
Speaker 4: because he always seems to be on the sidelines, and

1721
01:14:45,840 --> 01:14:48,200
Speaker 4: I think I think it's time for you know, so

1722
01:14:48,400 --> 01:14:49,600
Speaker 4: like him, you can only be in a system for

1723
01:14:49,680 --> 01:14:51,240
Speaker 4: so long to you like, all right, take on the

1724
01:14:51,320 --> 01:14:52,479
Speaker 4: range yourself and see how you go.

1725
01:14:53,080 --> 01:14:56,360
Speaker 1: Adoka is another Now maybe he'll get his first chance.

1726
01:14:56,600 --> 01:14:58,360
Speaker 1: We'll see, And I'm sure we'll be talking about this

1727
01:14:58,520 --> 01:15:01,040
Speaker 1: later in the coming weeks here as we finally figure

1728
01:15:01,040 --> 01:15:02,800
Speaker 1: out who's going to be coaching some of these teams,

1729
01:15:02,840 --> 01:15:04,519
Speaker 1: and like I said, maybe there'll be another opening or

1730
01:15:04,560 --> 01:15:08,120
Speaker 1: two in Indiana or maybe Washington, who knows. Okay, let's

1731
01:15:08,160 --> 01:15:09,519
Speaker 1: wrap this up with a little tweet of the night.

1732
01:15:11,560 --> 01:15:14,759
Speaker 3: Tweet out the night. Wow twit.

01:16:46,040 --> 01:16:46,479

01:16:46,560 --> 01:16:46,720

01:16:49,920 --> 01:16:50,519
Speaker 3: in those packs.

1766
01:16:50,560 --> 01:16:52,400
Speaker 1: Well yeah, they're going to hit the market very soon. Here,

1767
01:16:52,520 --> 01:16:55,439
Speaker 1: you can go buy this moment once it's the marketplace too. Yeah,

1768
01:16:55,560 --> 01:16:57,880
Speaker 1: later tonight. This is going to be available today. People

1769
01:16:57,880 --> 01:16:59,640
Speaker 1: are going to start pulling this moment. They're going to

1770
01:16:59,640 --> 01:17:01,639
Speaker 1: be like, oh, we got a weggie moment. Some people

1771
01:17:01,680 --> 01:17:03,280
Speaker 1: are gonna be like, I don't want that, and they're

1772
01:17:03,280 --> 01:17:04,840
Speaker 1: gonna put it on the marketplace. But those people would

1773
01:17:04,840 --> 01:17:07,519
Speaker 1: be dumb. You should hold onto these there's a super

1774
01:17:07,640 --> 01:17:09,800
Speaker 1: hold here with these weggie moments, super hole.

1775
01:17:10,040 --> 01:17:12,040
Speaker 2: Just like that ball getting stuck in the rim. It's

1776
01:17:12,040 --> 01:17:14,360
Speaker 2: stuck there deep. You're gonna want to hang onto this forever.

1777
01:17:14,760 --> 01:17:14,800
Speaker 3: This.

1778
01:17:15,200 --> 01:17:17,040
Speaker 2: I don't know that I would have picked this as

1779
01:17:17,120 --> 01:17:19,639
Speaker 2: the first weggie moment, but it might be the perfect

1780
01:17:19,840 --> 01:17:23,080
Speaker 2: choice because it's the Blazers. They're tied with a couple

1781
01:17:23,120 --> 01:17:25,640
Speaker 2: of other teams for the most weggies this season. It's

1782
01:17:25,720 --> 01:17:28,800
Speaker 2: Anthony Simon's one of the I think there's six guys

1783
01:17:28,840 --> 01:17:31,320
Speaker 2: who have two weggies this season. He's one of them.

1784
01:17:31,600 --> 01:17:34,519
Speaker 2: Lamar Hurd was on the call. Obviously Top Shot doesn't

1785
01:17:34,560 --> 01:17:36,640
Speaker 2: have the audio from it, but he gave us a

1786
01:17:36,840 --> 01:17:40,040
Speaker 2: huge shout out to the No Dunk's crew. He's like,

1787
01:17:40,200 --> 01:17:42,639
Speaker 2: there's gotta be some extra special stuff with this one.

1788
01:17:43,080 --> 01:17:45,400
Speaker 2: He was right, man. They turned it into a moment.

1789
01:17:45,760 --> 01:17:47,799
Speaker 2: And my guess is that it's actually gonna say weggie

1790
01:17:47,840 --> 01:17:49,519
Speaker 2: on the description, So we shall see.

1791
01:17:49,840 --> 01:17:52,200
Speaker 1: Wow, I can't wait for that. Yeah in the little

1792
01:17:52,280 --> 01:17:58,320
Speaker 1: right up there description, fired up, we think so yeah,

1793
01:17:58,439 --> 01:18:00,920
Speaker 1: very excited. Yeah, Lee got your wedgie on nice to see.

1794
01:18:01,000 --> 01:18:02,679
Speaker 4: Yeah. I saw that tweet in the dock and I thought,

1795
01:18:02,720 --> 01:18:04,479
Speaker 4: do I go with my top Shot hot boy shout

1796
01:18:04,560 --> 01:18:06,280
Speaker 4: or what do I go with the wedgie? Because it's

1797
01:18:06,479 --> 01:18:07,840
Speaker 4: you can't wear them both? And I thought I'd go

1798
01:18:07,920 --> 01:18:10,040
Speaker 4: with this beautiful baby blue wedgie because it is a

1799
01:18:11,240 --> 01:18:11,640
Speaker 4: look at that.

1800
01:18:12,000 --> 01:18:13,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a nice sure, Yeah, I love this one.

1801
01:18:14,200 --> 01:18:17,920
Speaker 1: You unfortunately can't buy that right now because a lot

1802
01:18:17,960 --> 01:18:19,680
Speaker 1: of you did, though we sold a lot of those

1803
01:18:19,720 --> 01:18:21,320
Speaker 1: bad boys boys.

1804
01:18:21,360 --> 01:18:22,040
Speaker 4: Maybe that's what we.

1805
01:18:25,280 --> 01:18:25,880
Speaker 1: So we'll see.

1806
01:18:26,280 --> 01:18:28,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not sure if we get royalties on this,

1807
01:18:28,560 --> 01:18:31,240
Speaker 3: as sept B is saying in the stream, but no,

1808
01:18:31,439 --> 01:18:33,760
Speaker 3: we don't, we don't. We don't own Wedgies. No, of

1809
01:18:33,840 --> 01:18:36,600
Speaker 3: course not so how much you think this is going

1810
01:18:36,680 --> 01:18:38,720
Speaker 3: to go for in the marketplace, because well, that's that's

1811
01:18:38,800 --> 01:18:41,040
Speaker 3: the question to ask. Any ideas, I mean, I have

1812
01:18:41,240 --> 01:18:41,799
Speaker 3: not really.

1813
01:18:42,960 --> 01:18:43,320
Speaker 1: I don't know.

1814
01:18:43,640 --> 01:18:46,000
Speaker 2: It's not going to be a high priced one. Anthony

1815
01:18:46,080 --> 01:18:49,000
Speaker 2: Simon's is not a superstar in the league. But I mean,

1816
01:18:49,080 --> 01:18:51,040
Speaker 2: obviously people know we're going to be going for it,

1817
01:18:51,560 --> 01:18:54,240
Speaker 2: so maybe that helps a little bit, a little extra utility,

1818
01:18:54,400 --> 01:18:57,080
Speaker 2: as they say. But I don't know. When you hear

1819
01:18:57,120 --> 01:18:59,040
Speaker 2: about top shot, you're like, wow, people are spending two

1820
01:18:59,120 --> 01:19:02,160
Speaker 2: hundred thousand dollars on the Lebron James Highlight. No, we're

1821
01:19:02,160 --> 01:19:07,000
Speaker 2: spending two hundred thousand dollars on forty thousand Anthony Simon's blocks.

1822
01:19:07,400 --> 01:19:08,320
Speaker 2: Super smart stuff.

1823
01:19:08,320 --> 01:19:10,519
Speaker 1: I was thinking about this tray. You know, low cereals

1824
01:19:10,520 --> 01:19:13,040
Speaker 1: are important. Sometimes you want of course, you want number one.

1825
01:19:13,080 --> 01:19:14,800
Speaker 1: If you can get that, that's incredible. A lot of

1826
01:19:14,840 --> 01:19:17,200
Speaker 1: people task they'd love to get the jersey number of

1827
01:19:17,280 --> 01:19:19,560
Speaker 1: the player, like that's a big one. You know, that

1828
01:19:19,640 --> 01:19:22,559
Speaker 1: one goes for more money on the marketplace. I would

1829
01:19:22,640 --> 01:19:26,360
Speaker 1: think being the first ever Weggie moment, that whatever number

1830
01:19:26,439 --> 01:19:29,760
Speaker 1: we end up with this year, total Weggies that that

1831
01:19:29,840 --> 01:19:31,920
Speaker 1: would be a serial number worth having. So if we

1832
01:19:32,040 --> 01:19:35,080
Speaker 1: end up with fifty nine Wedgies, then that fifty nine

1833
01:19:35,120 --> 01:19:37,160
Speaker 1: serial number would be huge for this Simon's Moment.

1834
01:19:37,880 --> 01:19:38,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I totally agree.

1835
