Speaker 1: The volume.
Speaker 2: What's good, Welcome back to the Draymond Green Show with
Speaker 2: my brother the Legend d D. What's happening to my dog?
Speaker 1: What's something I bro? How you feeling man? Big win?
Speaker 1: How you feeling big Tom ship Man? That was a
Speaker 1: big win?
Speaker 2: You know, come back home and maintain home court without Jimmy. Incredible.
Speaker 2: That's how you That's how you hold it down. I
Speaker 2: love the way we showed up.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, show up. The defense really showed up. It
Speaker 1: was a big win, especially without Jimmy. Steph went crazy.
Speaker 1: That was probably one of the best Steph Curry packages
Speaker 1: that I've seen from not just killing you with the three,
Speaker 1: but from a league guard perspective, a playmaker perspective, controlling
Speaker 1: the game tempo. He put all that together.
Speaker 2: I think he did that. He wasn't turning the ball over.
Speaker 2: That was me turning over, right, but he was. He
Speaker 2: wasn't turning the ball over, and he made every single
Speaker 2: play when we had nothing going on offensively. He just
Speaker 2: willed us because the defense. I think the defense was there,
Speaker 2: Like at one point, I think it was maybe six
Speaker 2: minutes to go in the half, five minutes to go
Speaker 2: and a half and they had thirty seven points and
Speaker 2: we had twenty four to twenty six or something like that.
Speaker 2: But we knew we couldn't hit any shots, and so
Speaker 2: Steve said in that time out, He's like, Yo, our
Speaker 2: defense is holding up. Just make sure the defense keep
Speaker 2: holding up. We will find the rhythm offensively. And we couldn't.
Speaker 2: But Chef got going and he just willed us there
Speaker 2: to end that second half. That's second quarter, and we
Speaker 2: went in the high time of three going in, I
Speaker 2: mean down three, going in down three, we were like,
Speaker 2: we're good, like because they weren't scoring the ball and
Speaker 2: we didn't play well and we're down three. So he
Speaker 2: dominated the game like he completely controlled everything, even with
Speaker 2: the blitz. You know, the blitz is the blitz is
Speaker 2: made to speech you up like he was making the ball. Yeah, absolutely,
Speaker 2: he was in total control. He got he got whatever
Speaker 2: it was that he wanted. If he wanted to make
Speaker 2: the pass and the blitz, he made the pass. He
Speaker 2: wanted to beat the trap. He beat the trap like
Speaker 2: he got whatever it was that he wanted when he
Speaker 2: wanted to it was. It was beautiful to see, like
Speaker 2: you said, especially with robins, as he calls himself with
Speaker 2: with with Robin howt uh. It was beautiful to see
Speaker 2: man just complete domination.
Speaker 1: Speaking of Robin, Jimmy Butler, I g post thanks Batman
Speaker 1: and team excluding Buddy. I would have to agree with that.
Speaker 1: You know, I'll be picking on Buddy too. Damn Buddy,
Speaker 1: wake you last well. Tonight Buddy showed up in a
Speaker 1: major way.
Speaker 2: Buddy hit big for eleven for three, he sat down
Speaker 2: on the defensive end, he did like Buddy. Buddy played
Speaker 2: great basketball tonight and Buddy got into it with Jason
Speaker 2: Green at the end. Yeah, what was that about? You know,
Speaker 2: we just call him Buddy out his name and stuff.
Speaker 2: You know, I don't really I don't. I don't really
Speaker 2: rock with that, you know what I'm saying. But it
Speaker 2: is what it is. You know, we move on to
Speaker 2: the next game. The game was over, we won the game.
Speaker 2: We move on to the next game. Man, you know
Speaker 2: how we rocking? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I saw Jimmy on the bench being vocal talking to Kaminga,
Speaker 1: talking to Buddy, talk about his presidence out there even
Speaker 1: on the bench with those guys in that playoff environment
Speaker 1: and what it means having him still as a presidence
Speaker 1: over there on the bench for yourself and then for
Speaker 1: the Comingias and the buddies.
Speaker 2: It was huge because Jimmy just see the game differently,
Speaker 2: you know. And although like, hey, when you're when you're
Speaker 2: on a bench with a coach coaching staff, the last
Speaker 2: thing you want is them coaching you up every play
Speaker 2: like you just kind of But when you got a
Speaker 2: teammate right there and they're coaching you up, it's a
Speaker 2: totally different vibe. And so it was just another it
Speaker 2: was just another coach on the bench. Uh that is
Speaker 2: kind of talking every single play. You know what I'm
Speaker 2: saying that he was locked into the game. He was,
Speaker 2: you know, dropping jewels over there and things that he saw. Man,
Speaker 2: it was it was great. Obviously we want them out
Speaker 2: there on the floor, but you know that wasn't possible today.
Speaker 2: So you take, uh what he was bringing on the bench,
Speaker 2: you you you bottle that up however you can. He
Speaker 2: walked in looking like Frank Lucas with the mink caught
Speaker 2: on and started the game, So you knew he was coming.
Speaker 2: He was he was coming to the bench to bring
Speaker 2: a presence and he was definitely that presents of the bench.
Speaker 2: Shout out to my guy friend, shut out Frank Lucas.
Speaker 2: He had to allo pass right there. It was fire.
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying. You went with Frank walk
Speaker 2: in looking like that, gotta get it done. He got hot,
Speaker 2: was hitting right because come on, and he came out
Speaker 2: of Oh boy, walk out there with a comforter on.
Speaker 2: They got all right quick, you got it was like, alright, no,
Speaker 2: I look back up that mom was gone, I said.
Speaker 2: He made oh man, Remember to subscribe to The Draymond
Speaker 2: Green Show with Baron Davis, so you don't miss any episodes.
Speaker 1: And don't forget to follow us on all social media.
Speaker 1: At Draymond's show, all right, dumb nation, y'all know what's up?
Speaker 1: You and Jalen Green? Yeah, I was getting into it. Uh,
Speaker 1: And then Jalen Green said, you know, just talking. He
Speaker 1: can't really do much of anything, so talking is his
Speaker 1: only way.
Speaker 2: Jayleen Grain on Draymond Grain, Yeah, no, that's cool. I
Speaker 2: don't do much. That's fine. I don't do much. Just
Speaker 2: do what I have to do. But I don't do much,
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying. So he was balling, no problem.
Speaker 2: I'm happy he see it that way. That's incredible. Shout
Speaker 2: out to him.
Speaker 1: A lot of times those are like blanket statements fat
Speaker 1: because you can start believing that and then I ain't
Speaker 1: gonna say nothing.
Speaker 2: That's how you get to ask, That's how you get
Speaker 2: your ask.
Speaker 1: There's a fine line between respect and disrespect. You gotta
Speaker 1: be careful because they can't translate on the court as oh,
Speaker 1: I don't feel like closing out, or I ain't gonna
Speaker 1: try and box out, or I'm just gonna let him
Speaker 1: drive to the hall.
Speaker 2: So you know, be careful.
Speaker 1: That's what I would say to the young FEMA, especially
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, because it's just a different level. It's
Speaker 1: a different level top and it's a different level of
Speaker 1: talking and backing it up when it comes to the playoffs.
Speaker 1: And we've seen that countless amount of times with really
Speaker 1: talented players going to the media and almost giving that
Speaker 1: energy out to themselves. I mean, you've seen it with PG,
Speaker 1: You've seen it with t MAC. You gotta be careful,
Speaker 1: especially when you're in battle and go be in the
Speaker 1: series where you gotta battle it out. So let's talk
Speaker 1: about this tech. Let's talk about this tech. Okay, First,
Speaker 1: I thought we was gonna be more aware of our
Speaker 1: technical file.
Speaker 2: I was very aware of that, very aware. I'm like, bro,
Speaker 2: you wanted that tech dude. That was the third or
Speaker 2: fourth time somebody walking to me while I'm going for
Speaker 2: a layup and it's not called. I had to get
Speaker 2: that one, all right, because clearly you ain't called it yet.
Speaker 2: You clearly ain't filling my press. So I'm gonna make
Speaker 2: sure you feel my presence now. I definitely wanted that one,
Speaker 2: and then you know, I move on. It was a
Speaker 2: game changer, and I was like, I felt like that
Speaker 2: one was needed in that moment, and I went and
Speaker 2: I got it, and then we move on it. It
Speaker 2: also turned me up, so it was great it did.
Speaker 2: It was great. It turned me up. Like I knew
Speaker 2: I needed that in that moment, and I did that
Speaker 2: and it was incredible. And yeah, that one wasn't unnecessary.
Speaker 2: That one was very necessary. Yeah, you ran ing down
Speaker 2: on that one.
Speaker 1: I was like, okay, joint one, fat teg. But it
Speaker 1: did spark a fire in the defense. Defense in the
Speaker 1: fourth quarter, Well, you got some really big defensive plays,
Speaker 1: a block, a bunch of stops to flex in the
Speaker 1: steel on Van Flick.
Speaker 2: I mean, your instincts was bubbling, you was.
Speaker 1: Covering right, you was covering Uh, you was an architect
Speaker 1: on that defense.
Speaker 2: What were you saying out there? You know, I think
Speaker 2: when you that's not our third time planning. You know,
Speaker 2: like once you start to get to game three and
Speaker 2: four in the series, like there's not much that's going
Speaker 2: to happen that's going to be a surprise, you know,
Speaker 2: like you start to figure out what they like to
Speaker 2: get to, what they like to go to, and stuff
Speaker 2: ain't going well, you know, like you just start to
Speaker 2: figure different things out. And so for me, like after
Speaker 2: seeing a team the third time in a row, like
Speaker 2: you gotta trust your instincts because more likely than not,
Speaker 2: your instinct is going to be right if you watch them,
Speaker 2: you know, if you study your stuff. And so I
Speaker 2: trusted my instincts a lot, but also know like we
Speaker 2: needed stops and we needed that win, and I knew
Speaker 2: that I needed to come up big on the defensive
Speaker 2: and I couldn't quite find my rhythm offensively, So what
Speaker 2: are you going to do to impact the game? And
Speaker 2: for me, that was like, all right, I'm about to
Speaker 2: go down here. I'm gonna try to get every stop.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna try to get my hand in every play
Speaker 2: in one way or another. And you know I was
Speaker 2: able to cost some have it. You know, that last
Speaker 2: play was probably the most fun, with getting the outlet
Speaker 2: to GP off off the turn and over. You know,
Speaker 2: but that was you know, that's just what it boils
Speaker 2: down to. I saw that he had sought Jalen Green open,
Speaker 2: so I saw it. I was, you know, I was
Speaker 2: the last line of defense. You see. I just ran
Speaker 2: away from the rem because I saw that he saw
Speaker 2: him open and he turned his back, so I knew
Speaker 2: he thought he'd still be open. I took off out
Speaker 2: of there. I was able to come up with the
Speaker 2: ball and get it off the GP and that put
Speaker 2: the finishing touches on the game.
Speaker 1: To me, it was a testament of why I thought
Speaker 1: you should have been Defensive Player of the Year, but
Speaker 1: you finished third SEC. Congratulations on that. But what is
Speaker 1: the process like when it comes to hear he won
Speaker 1: or where he placed, and what was your reaction when
Speaker 1: you found out that you didn't win?
Speaker 2: Interestingly enough, we all find out at the same time.
Speaker 2: You find out when it releases on T and T.
Speaker 2: I was gambling on the plane and I went on it.
Speaker 2: I moved on, like you know, it ain't much you
Speaker 2: can do about it the same my first rodeo. This
Speaker 2: ain't my first time being in the race, you know,
Speaker 2: feeling like I should win and not win. It ain't
Speaker 2: the first time that's ever happened, you know. So this
Speaker 2: I'm sure Dyson Daniels was crushed because I know that feeling. Yeah,
Speaker 2: like your first time being in the running and you
Speaker 2: don't come up with it Like I know that that feeling,
Speaker 2: so I've experienced it before. If anything, I feel for
Speaker 2: Dyson Dames, you know what I'm saying, because he had
Speaker 2: a great defensive year and this is his first time
Speaker 2: going through that. This is his first time experiencing that feeling.
Speaker 2: The damn I didn't get it. I was like, I'm fine,
Speaker 2: Like I'm moving on, like I've been through that before.
Speaker 2: So no big deal with me. But I will say
Speaker 2: congratulations to Evan Mobley Man. Yeah, that incredible. I've been
Speaker 2: a fan of here since USC. I know you don't
Speaker 2: like that name, but I've been a fan of you
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying that to see him continue to grow, uh,
Speaker 2: continue to become the player that everybody thought that he become.
Speaker 2: I had so many conversations with Kenny last summer just
Speaker 2: about what Evan Mobley can become and how to see
Speaker 2: things like I'm happy as hell to see him get that,
Speaker 2: So shout out to him, man, Darius Garland, them and
Speaker 2: shit was throwing shade like they ain't none of that,
Speaker 2: and don't be a clown, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 2: Like it is what it is. We was in the
Speaker 2: running he wanted. That's great and the number one see
Speaker 2: with the second best record in the NBA. Who mad
Speaker 2: at that? You know? So these little, you know, little
Speaker 2: dudes throwing shade, Congratulations to him. You know, I was
Speaker 2: surprised by Darius Garland throwing shade when he came on
Speaker 2: on the podcast and there was us vouching for him
Speaker 2: to be an All Star when he was begging. You know. So,
Speaker 2: like I said, shout out to Evan Mobley. That was
Speaker 2: super dope to see him win des Flair of the Year.
Speaker 2: You know, I'm one of the guys I root for
Speaker 2: young guys. You know what I'm saying. I'm not one
Speaker 2: of them guys that don't want to see young guys
Speaker 2: do well.
Speaker 1: If anything, welcome to the table. One shout out to
Speaker 1: Avian Mobley. I think he had an amazing year he
Speaker 1: was key clutch. He has been on the rise ever
Speaker 1: since he stepped in the league and been reaching his potential.
Speaker 1: So shout out to him for winning Defensive Player of
Speaker 1: the Year. I always look out awards like that and say, Okay,
Speaker 1: whoever didn't win, that doesn't mean you did not win.
Speaker 1: That means you won too, because you're up there as
Speaker 1: one of the best defenders in the league.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, you don't win the war, you move on.
Speaker 1: And I actually think it it motivated you, man, because
Speaker 1: you just playing some hell of the defense out here
Speaker 1: in Game three.
Speaker 2: You had something to prove.
Speaker 1: And if that's the case, I tell you, like, I
Speaker 1: take that all day.
Speaker 2: Now for sure. Listen, you always gonna try to find
Speaker 2: fuel and whatever you can. I will say I didn't
Speaker 2: find a bush. If I want to lock guys down anyway,
Speaker 2: that's kind of that's who I am, you know. I
Speaker 2: take pride in that. But if however you can so
Speaker 2: you know, like I said, it was obviously wanted to
Speaker 2: win it, but to be in the conversation at thirty five,
Speaker 2: still at elite level, will continue to play at an
Speaker 2: elite level. I got no shame in it. I'll show
Speaker 2: show up next year. Throw my name back in the
Speaker 2: hat because I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna do what
Speaker 2: I gotta do on a defensive end. So be right
Speaker 2: there again, big all, be right there again.

Speaker 1: Talking about Elite you know, having Jimmy out, other players
Speaker 1: stepping up the guard play in this game was huge.
Speaker 1: Gary Payton second had eleven of a sixteen points in
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. Talk about his impact.
Speaker 2: Man, I thought GP was huge. He's one of the
Speaker 2: best finishers around the rim in the game for real. Uh,
Speaker 2: you know, he he doesn't play the guard position for us,
Speaker 2: and you know, me and Luna always joke with him
Speaker 2: like gu a small ball five. You know, he got
Speaker 2: every finish around the rim that every big wish they at,
Speaker 2: you know, and like he is extremely impressive. Then you know,
Speaker 2: he was getting those those doves to the rim, couple
Speaker 2: tough finishes and then all of a sudden the trade
Speaker 2: ball going in and we obviously know what he does
Speaker 2: on the defensive end, you know, So when you're getting
Speaker 2: that type of production from g on the offensive end
Speaker 2: and already knowing what he's doing on the defensive end,
Speaker 2: like you said with robbing out, it was great because
Speaker 2: you needed that production from somewhere and it wasn't going
Speaker 2: to be one guy. It gives you the production that
Speaker 2: Jimmy gives you. But as a collective, we can all
Speaker 2: do that and make up what he brings, you know,
Speaker 2: as a collective group. And that's how it got to be.
Speaker 2: When you missing one of your stars, and G was man.
Speaker 2: G played some great basketball. He showed up, especially you
Speaker 2: know with the shoulder bothering him, you know, from the
Speaker 2: no call when he was tripped in Houston. Showed up
Speaker 2: in a major way. Shout out to GP.
Speaker 1: Yeah, talking about being a superstar in your role. He
Speaker 1: embodied that tonight. The physicality in the three ball, finishing inside,
Speaker 1: like he said, it steals the defense. It amazes me
Speaker 1: someone that small can play, you know, on the defensive end,
Speaker 1: can play with one and switched to five and try
Speaker 1: and block the shot. I mean, his energy is is
Speaker 1: incredible and it's just good to see my little dog
Speaker 1: out there getting busy. Another one of my dog's Buddy,
Speaker 1: he showed up for us today seventeen points. I know
Speaker 1: he has a good relationship with Jimmy obviously with the tweet.
Speaker 1: What did you say the buddy postgame about his performance
Speaker 1: Game three? Because Buddy, Buddy is a funny personality, man,
Speaker 1: that's my guy.
Speaker 2: Buddy's hilarious, man. I know, I was just talking to
Speaker 2: him really throughout the game. Buddy used to be like
Speaker 2: you go say somethingbody like, he talks so fast. And
Speaker 2: now he's coming up to me like that got you
Speaker 2: the ball. When when Steven Adams was able to get
Speaker 2: to steal I need to and I'm like, wow, Buddy,
Speaker 2: like that is a huge step in the right direction.
Speaker 2: You're coming to seek me to talk about. So, m
Speaker 2: what Jimmy's doing must be working, because no, but Buddy, honestly, man,
Speaker 2: he was huge. He hit big shots, timely threes, He
Speaker 2: hit some very timely threes, and he was good on
Speaker 2: the defensive end. It was good to see Buddy hot
Speaker 2: that game. Like I said, need a collective guys stepping up,
Speaker 2: and Buddy was right there in the mix for us.
Speaker 2: We're gonna need him continue to play that way. Also
Speaker 2: shout out to Steve because I know people was calling
Speaker 2: for Steve, like, oh, why you're still playing Buddy, and
Speaker 2: Steve's I'm going to continue to play Buddy. You saw
Speaker 2: that's what his shot making ability. We need that shot
Speaker 2: making ability out there on the floor. And a locked
Speaker 2: in Buddy is a very good buddy. So we gonna
Speaker 2: need Buddy continue to stay locked in like that. Shots
Speaker 2: won't fall every single night, but when you're great shooter
Speaker 2: like he is, they fore most nights.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he'll get open, he'll get open and he was
Speaker 1: playing on the defensive end.
Speaker 2: He was playing scrappy.
Speaker 1: He will get his shots as long as he don't
Speaker 1: chase him, He's gonna get open and have opportunities to
Speaker 1: make shots.
Speaker 2: And he was big. He was huge. I also wanted
Speaker 2: to speak about Jonathan Kaminga. His defense starting off on Jalen.
Speaker 5: Green was huge, big time, swaking him big talk the
Speaker 5: game and when you don't allow the guy, when you
Speaker 5: don't allow a guy to get a rhythm to start
Speaker 5: the game, that can change the game for offensive players.
Speaker 2: So also wanted to speak on that. Jonathan Kaminga's defensive
Speaker 2: pressure on the ball to start the game was huge,
Speaker 2: mongers huge, huge, especially Jalen Green coming off that game
Speaker 2: too performance where he was just having his way to
Speaker 2: establish that at the beginning of the game.
Speaker 1: It's saying, you, buddy, are gonna get the attention that
Speaker 1: you deserve. You know, I've been waiting for that, but Kamingia,
Speaker 1: I've been waiting for that all year and so it
Speaker 1: was a joy to see that. So shout out to
Speaker 1: Jonathan Kaminga for stepping up in the beginning and establishing
Speaker 1: himself on the defensive end. Because now he's going to
Speaker 1: have a breakthrough offensive game, mark my words. And you
Speaker 1: guys haven't been playing. It hasn't been a high scoring series.
Speaker 2: Facts, I think we still got a breakout game for sure.
Speaker 1: And just talking about everybody stepping up, Jimmy, Jimmy Butler
Speaker 1: is still questionable for Game four. I don't know if
Speaker 1: he's going to try and play, but if he does, uh,
Speaker 1: you know there's a chance if he plays. You know,
Speaker 1: you're looking to go up three to one going into
Speaker 1: Game four. What do you have to improve on for
Speaker 1: the rest of the series, and then, especially if Jimmy
Speaker 1: is out, what are the things you guys have to
Speaker 1: do to better your chance is to close this series.
Speaker 2: I have to improve personally. I gotta stop turning the
Speaker 2: goddamn ball. I agree. That is my self improvement. Us
Speaker 2: as a team, I think we cleaned up that in
Speaker 2: the night. We only had ten turnovers. As a team,
Speaker 2: I think we improve offensive rebound wise, and saying that
Speaker 2: they still have fifteen, let's get that the eleven, you know,
Speaker 2: so let's get that to eleven or twelve, so I think,
Speaker 2: and then some of those be like two or three
Speaker 2: offensive rebounds on the same possession. So sometimes the numbers
Speaker 2: can look a little more skew than it actually is.
Speaker 2: But overall, I thought we did a great job on
Speaker 2: the defensive boards. But what I think the one thing
Speaker 2: that I would like to see us improve up on
Speaker 2: as a team is just continue to improve our game
Speaker 2: plan discipline. We have a very young team. It's there
Speaker 2: a lot of guys first time in the playoffs, first
Speaker 2: time in this situation, and so as you continue to
Speaker 2: get more and more experienced under your belt in the playoffs,
Speaker 2: you hope to see guys continue to take those steps.
Speaker 2: And what I will say through three, if you come
Speaker 2: to playing, I've seen guys taking those steps. But we
Speaker 2: all know we can be better, and so I'd just
Speaker 2: like to see us continue to improve up on our
Speaker 2: game plan discipline just as a team.
Speaker 1: Overall, I truly believe when the shot clock is running down,
Speaker 1: when the ball is in the non score we meaning
Speaker 1: the three to four on the five scorers on the team,
Speaker 1: y'all got active. And when I mean getting active, you
Speaker 1: start you shut down the next pass. So a lot
Speaker 1: of those one on one opportunities wind up in the
Speaker 1: hands of a Dylan Brooks right trying to make plays
Speaker 1: eat trying to make plays, and I think that was
Speaker 1: really really that was really balanced and a focused defense
Speaker 1: when you can when you know, like oh, Dylan Brooks
Speaker 1: got the bass eight seconds, make him make the play.
Speaker 1: But at the same time, I also think that when
Speaker 1: you guys do do that and you see people like
Speaker 1: Dylan Brooks or Thompson, you gotta be aware and that
Speaker 1: they will miss shots and that's how them offense. The
Speaker 1: rebounds happened because you start you start looking at the shot,
Speaker 1: looking at the miss, and then that's how they attack.
Speaker 1: But it was great defense at the end of the
Speaker 1: game because you start allowing the ball on the defensive
Speaker 1: side to go to a weekend offensive scorer. And that's
Speaker 1: why I think you guys were successful tonight.
Speaker 2: No, Yeah, that was huge for sure, And I wouldn't
Speaker 2: necessarily say that was game playing, you know, it's just
Speaker 2: kind of you filling the game out as out there.
Speaker 2: I think anytime you can take first couple of options
Speaker 2: away make teams do what they don't necessarily want to
Speaker 2: do is always going to be good. So yeah, man,
Speaker 2: shout out to our defense again. My guy Jerry stack House.
Speaker 2: He has a certain mentality that he brings to the
Speaker 2: defense and we just try to follow that take it
Speaker 2: around the league a little bit. Man. I didn't get
Speaker 2: opportunity to see it obviously live, but I saw it
Speaker 2: on that game. You was there, Clippers, that game tough call.
Speaker 2: I don't know how to judge it. I think for
Speaker 2: me personally, I've never seen a game winner like that.
Speaker 2: Uh you were there? Have you ever seen an ending
Speaker 2: like that in the playoffs? No? That was wild? Dude?
Speaker 2: What was your man thought? Being there?
Speaker 1: My thought was it should go to overtime because hand
Speaker 1: was on top of the ball.
Speaker 2: But when you look at the play.
Speaker 1: His hand was not on the ball when the red
Speaker 1: light hit and it was in the cylinder. So it
Speaker 1: was like, damn, how do you to me? You know,
Speaker 1: shout out to the refs on those because that's that's a.
Speaker 2: Big call to make this call. It changes It could
Speaker 2: change that, It could change the outlook, which could change
Speaker 2: the entire playoffs. Like it's a huge call to making
Speaker 2: that in that moment.
Speaker 1: But like I said, the Clippers shouldn't have put themselves
Speaker 1: in that situation, especially when you're at home, you have
Speaker 1: the advantage, and I think when they put you know,
Speaker 1: when they picked up the pressure on defense when they
Speaker 1: were down to get back in the game. That's the
Speaker 1: same type of pressure that they needed the entire game.
Speaker 2: So I think that they were going through lulls and
Speaker 2: then at.
Speaker 1: The end of the game, like we all know, it's
Speaker 1: not always the game when it's shot, it's always the tipping.
Speaker 2: And that goes back.
Speaker 1: To way back end of the day where Houston lost
Speaker 1: in the Final four a game Elijah Wah to the
Speaker 1: great Jimmy Valbano with basically an airball putback. So I
Speaker 1: mean it's a heartbreaker because as a coach, as a player,
Speaker 1: the shot was off. It's a controversial call, but you
Speaker 1: shouldn't have been in that situation, and it was just devastating.
Speaker 1: I mean, the old Clipper Arena was rocking and Denver
Speaker 1: got away with one.
Speaker 2: They did shout out to Lorenzo Charles, by the way,
Speaker 2: getting that put back for n stayed back in the day.
Speaker 2: When I look at that series now, I say that's
Speaker 2: two games that the Clippers have let get away. I'm
Speaker 2: not sure if you can win a series against a
Speaker 2: really good team given two games away with that type
Speaker 2: of margin.
Speaker 5: Area.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, I agree. Now I'm saying that The
Speaker 2: Clippers have obviously the system, but Kawhi Leonard, who is
Speaker 2: just playing at an EEE level and which will always
Speaker 2: give them a chance. They got Ronnie Luke on the bench,
Speaker 2: which always gives them a chance. But it's just hard
Speaker 2: to beat. It's hard to beat the team four times
Speaker 2: to essentially beat them one for sure, come back tonight
Speaker 2: and have a real chance at winning that game and
Speaker 2: not coming up with those two. I think those two
Speaker 2: could possibly cost you later. But then saying, now, who
Speaker 2: do you have taking that? I just think like that
Speaker 2: I could get tough man. That can get hard.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying though very much. So you've
Speaker 1: let two games slip away. You had, you had those
Speaker 1: games and your clutches. But I still think the Clippers
Speaker 1: are the more team.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: What I did see from Denver is, you know, he
Speaker 1: just got to keep going that joker. You gotta keep
Speaker 1: wearing Joker down. He's doing everything out there. I was
Speaker 1: on the Denver side of the court, so I got
Speaker 1: a chance to see, you know, how the bench, You know,
Speaker 1: the conversations in the huddle, and a lot is being
Speaker 1: asked a joker to do a lot.
Speaker 2: A lot of the thinking a lot.
Speaker 1: Of co coaching, a lot of playing and coaching, talking
Speaker 1: to teammates.
Speaker 2: He has a lot of responsibility.
Speaker 1: And then him not having Russ out there, you don't
Speaker 1: to have another vocal person and you have, like you
Speaker 1: have a lot of non vocal players. It's just hard
Speaker 1: to communicate and and to get energy and motivation when
Speaker 1: guys are are not like really dialed in. And I
Speaker 1: think the Clippers they unlock Norman Powle Zubaca has been playing, right,
Speaker 1: We talked about that. But the unlock of Norman power,
Speaker 1: I think is gonna be huge. And then now it's
Speaker 1: gonna be a Bogdanovich or a Batoon are done. Somebody
Speaker 1: from the Clippers now has to step up and be,
Speaker 1: you know that that fifth. They need a fifth, sixth
Speaker 1: person that they can rely on now to close out
Speaker 1: this series that's gonna make big plays for them. They
Speaker 1: need some They need some big plays from Derek Jones,
Speaker 1: They need some big plays from Done, They need some
Speaker 1: big plays from Batun. They need those guys to make
Speaker 1: winning plays over these next three games. Yeah, no, almost definitely,
Speaker 1: most definitely. But they can win in Denver. They can
Speaker 1: win in Dinner.
Speaker 2: They shown that actually they shown that actually twice, Yeah, twice, right, right,
Speaker 2: right right, So I'm not worried about them going back
Speaker 2: to Denver.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they let a couple get away.
Speaker 2: What's up, our fans. We got some great news. We're
Speaker 2: thrilled to announce that the new show merchandise is available.

Speaker 2: You know, we finally get there. Some merged for the show.
Speaker 1: Maybe we get the fast be able to rock the merge,
Speaker 1: rock the shows tap in with us.
Speaker 2: I think these should be the shirts on the cease
Speaker 2: at the game.
Speaker 1: Come on, let's do it. We meet that game four
Speaker 1: We need to day. Come on, man, let's do it.
Speaker 2: I'll be at the game. We can get that cracking.
Speaker 2: Were excited to have all y'all represent the show so
Speaker 2: go to the dgbdshow dot com and get the new merch.
Speaker 2: There are four to one series.
Speaker 1: The first is Nicks Pistons My next Knicks tape.
Speaker 2: Let's go Bay up to one on Detroit.
Speaker 1: Every game has been a slug fest back and forth,
Speaker 1: Jalen bruston the show while he's clutched player of the Year.
Speaker 1: I predicted that this series was gonna go uh nix
Speaker 1: and six. How you feeling about your Detroit Pistons still?
Speaker 2: I think they too have given games away at that
Speaker 2: game game one way was bizarre. Nonetheless, this is what
Speaker 2: I expected. I expected the Pistons to have a chance
Speaker 2: to win this series, and they are showing that. And
Speaker 2: that's also what Isaiah Stewart been out. He's missed the
Speaker 2: last two games, and I thought he'd be a vital
Speaker 2: part of this series. And they're still showing. Paul Reed
Speaker 2: has stepped up huge, They're they're still playing really good basketball.
Speaker 2: So I'm not sure. I didn't see what it was
Speaker 2: that's been keeping Stuwarie out. I'm not sure if he
Speaker 2: will still be out, but if they get him back,
Speaker 2: I'm telling you, man, watch out, Nicks. They get Stewart
Speaker 2: back because that's just another body that could throw a cat.
Speaker 2: That's another enforcer. You know, there's this series been a
Speaker 2: little testy. You get your enforcer out there, not another enforcer.
Speaker 2: Your enforcer out there is always harder for the home
Speaker 2: team and tough for the home team. I think I
Speaker 2: think the Knick's gonna struck.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I don't think the Knicks have been in
Speaker 1: that situation where they've had that margin for air.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 1: You look at the Clippers and you say, damn the Clippers.
Speaker 1: Let Denver get to But they still got Kawhi, they
Speaker 1: still got James, they still got you know, super elite
Speaker 1: veteran experience that have been have played back.
Speaker 2: To the wall. That's a fact.
Speaker 1: I want to see Detroit and I know they're gonna
Speaker 1: come out fighting. I know they're gonna play that type
Speaker 1: of basketball. But Game four, Game four is all about will,
Speaker 1: intellect right, and small, small, small, small margin for air,
Speaker 1: especially when you're the home team.
Speaker 2: This is true because they got these pistons, ain't got
Speaker 2: nothing to lose, man. They playing with the Church's money,
Speaker 2: with the house money. These pistons, Man, watch out because
Speaker 2: they come and for bloody man.
Speaker 1: The pencils was one of my team that they was
Speaker 1: one of my teams in the East. I just think
Speaker 1: that they're gonna the next on the mission, the next
Speaker 1: on the mission improved something. The first thing they got
Speaker 1: to prove is, hey, we're getting out this first round
Speaker 1: again so we can go to the Conference Semis.
Speaker 2: This is true. The Bucks bounce back there downald two
Speaker 2: to one. After winning Game three, Gary Trent stepped up huge.
Speaker 2: He was put in the start lineup score thirty six.
Speaker 2: Give Doc his credit BD, that's just an adjustment, and
Speaker 2: that man came through in nine threes. I think this
Speaker 2: series will end up tied up to the two headed
Speaker 2: back to uh Indiana for Game five, and what I
Speaker 2: will say is if this series get to two to two,
Speaker 2: I got the Bucks taking this Seriesugh great adjustment, Doc Rivers,
Speaker 2: great adjustment. Needed adjustment. Game for is pivotal.
Speaker 1: I just still think Indiana is not afraid of the Bucks.
Speaker 1: Indiana feels like they can beat the Bucks down the stretch.
Speaker 1: And it took thirty six points in ninth and a
Speaker 1: nine to three performance from Gary Try Junior, shout out
Speaker 1: to my dog.
Speaker 2: He came in, he rocked out. But you're asking for that.
Speaker 1: Where did that come from and why didn't we get
Speaker 1: any type of combination of those thirty six points in
Speaker 1: their two losses.
Speaker 2: So well, I'll tell you why role players play better
Speaker 2: at home. They do. Role players play better at home,
Speaker 2: which is why I say if this series ends up
Speaker 2: two to two, the Bucks gonna take it because they're
Speaker 2: gonna go back on the road and Dame gonna find
Speaker 2: his stride. Yanna's gonna be honest, Dame go find and
Speaker 2: Brook Lopez is a champion. He been there before, you
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying. Bobby Porters is champion. He been
Speaker 2: there before. I think if they get this serious to
Speaker 2: two to two, they going to Game five like, oh
Speaker 2: we got them, and they gonna feel that. So I'm
Speaker 2: telling you, if they get this to two to two,
Speaker 2: watch Out Bucks winning Bucks and six Bucks winning four
Speaker 2: in a row. They get this to two to two,
Speaker 2: watch Out championship pedigree means something. Now, Andyanna does have
Speaker 2: some championship pedigree over there in Pascal Siaka, Yeah, they
Speaker 2: don't have multiple and I think that's gonna be the difference. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think the difference is Rick Carlisle is going to
Speaker 1: make the adjustment heading in the game for it's gonna
Speaker 1: be a battle of adjustments Game four, and I think
Speaker 1: it's gonna come down to uh Doc versus Rick Carlisle
Speaker 1: respecting for let's get next those who make those adjustments.
Speaker 2: Who tweets the lineup.
Speaker 1: You know, somebody is gonna be sitting down the stretch
Speaker 1: while somebody is cooking. We don't know who it is,
Speaker 1: but it's gonna be up to, you know, one of
Speaker 1: these coaches to make that move. Next up the Celtics
Speaker 1: two to one on the Magic coach Missoula. When Perzingis
Speaker 1: started linking, he said, I like watching him bleed. This
Speaker 1: series is very physical and the only way, the only
Speaker 1: way that the Orlando Magic can say in this series
Speaker 1: is to be physical.
Speaker 2: What are your thoughts. That's the fact. They don't have
Speaker 2: the talent that the Boss and Celtics have, so they
Speaker 2: gotta jump the game up. They gotta be physical. That's
Speaker 2: the only way they can compete, and they're doing it.
Speaker 2: I think they're doing a great job of it. More
Speaker 2: physical than one would like, I'm sure, but you know
Speaker 2: that's the nature of it. Got to stand up through that,
Speaker 2: to that and go through it. So they are playing
Speaker 2: that physical. I was happy to see JT's back. But yeah,
Speaker 2: it's a very physical series. I think they're doing what
Speaker 2: they gotta do. So they're executing their game plan what
Speaker 2: they need to execute. You gotta give them their credit. Yeah,
Speaker 2: they gotta be scrappy, that's it.
Speaker 1: They gotta be scrappy, keep the score close and hope
Speaker 1: that Paulo can be that person for you in the
Speaker 1: playoffs that can make magical moments.
Speaker 2: No pun intended, But I do like coach Missoula.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he told Jason Jason Tatum man get up, get up?
Speaker 1: Right he talking about I like watching him bleed, just
Speaker 1: that that DNA, that fabric. Just a coach speaking to that.
Speaker 1: And when you watch Boston, they tough, they resilient. They
Speaker 1: don't they don't bend or break, you know, they don't, right,
Speaker 1: they feed off of that, and they they all got.
Speaker 2: This chip on their shoulder. They Ye, you have to
Speaker 2: if you want to be one of them teams that
Speaker 2: pop up every year. You know what I'm saying that
Speaker 2: being running every year and they doing that, you got
Speaker 2: to get them their credit. But they definitely feed off
Speaker 2: Joe's energy for sure. T Wolves are leading the series
Speaker 2: two to one. Luca was sick in Game three, they said,
Speaker 2: and Jaden McDaniels stepped up with thirty points and Brian
Speaker 2: both did what you expect Andon Bron to do. Looking
Speaker 2: forward to seeing a healthier Luca in Game four, I
Speaker 2: think the Lakers, you know, they can go on the
Speaker 2: road and win the game. They got Luka, Doncic and
Speaker 2: Lebron James. I think they have to figure that small
Speaker 2: lineup out when they take Rudy Gobertt. You know, a
Speaker 2: lot of the Lakers game plan seems to be built
Speaker 2: on picking on Rudy Gobert when they take him out.
Speaker 2: I think he played twenty four to twenty five minutes
Speaker 2: last game. When they take him out and they go
Speaker 2: to Niles Reed at the five. The Lakers has seemed
Speaker 2: to struggle with that lineup in the series. Game two,
Speaker 2: they got away because Nasrie was in foul trouble and
Speaker 2: so they didn't have to deal with that lineup. So
Speaker 2: I think the key to the Lakers figuring this, you know,
Speaker 2: this this team out is seeing if they can figure
Speaker 2: that lineup out, because that's the lineup that's been beating them,
Speaker 2: and so it'll be good to see, uh be fun
Speaker 2: to watch and see what adjustments JJ Redick makes his
Speaker 2: first playoff series, you know, and see what adjustments he
Speaker 2: make to deal with that lineup.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would say, Uh, one thing I noticed about
Speaker 1: JJ Redick and you know a lot of young coaches
Speaker 1: when they when they come into the league early, you
Speaker 1: can tell what type of coach that they will be
Speaker 1: based on game to game preparation. And JJ Redick is
Speaker 1: one of those coaches. So being down to one, he's
Speaker 1: gonna watch a lot of take He's gonna watch where
Speaker 1: the mistakes are happening, similar to sposal when Sposter was
Speaker 1: young coming up, he was great at making the adjustment
Speaker 1: from game one to game two. Oh we lost game one,
Speaker 1: Oh game two, We're not gonna lose because we've corrected
Speaker 1: all our mistakes. And a lot of times coaches do
Speaker 1: better in phil in preparation for the next day. And
Speaker 1: it's and it's tough making adjustments, especially when you're a
Speaker 1: rookie coach, especially when when it's your first time. So
Speaker 1: I look for the Lakers and JJ to be able
Speaker 1: to clean some things up. And he's a coach that
Speaker 1: makes game game to game adjustments right. And you have coaches,
Speaker 1: you know, like Steve Kerr right, that has that experience
Speaker 1: that make in game adjustments. I think he'll work his
Speaker 1: way up to that. But but for now, the Lakers
Speaker 1: will be prepared for Game four for the Rudy Gobert matchup.
Speaker 2: When Rudy Gobert.
Speaker 1: Goes out, you know how to handle Julius Randall, put
Speaker 1: more pressure on him and stop Minnesota from getting to
Speaker 1: the front of the rib. I think that's the Lakers problem,
Speaker 1: like they not letting they not forcing Minnesota to be
Speaker 1: a jump shooting team and prove that if y'all gonna
Speaker 1: shoot all these threes or shoot jumpers, they let them
Speaker 1: get to the bucket two into the front of the row.
Speaker 1: And the Lakers have no shot blockers down there that
Speaker 1: you know that's stopping the timberworld, especially Jami dak Daniels
Speaker 1: he having his way.
Speaker 2: I was just about to say, do they have the
Speaker 2: personnel to like keep the stop them at the rim though?
Speaker 2: Because that team athletics in law, like they got great
Speaker 2: lanth they're athletic, So is there like, do the Lakers
Speaker 2: have the answer to stop them from getting to the
Speaker 2: rim dough and finishing at the room, because that's one
Speaker 2: of their strengths.
Speaker 1: The Lakers have good individual defenders are hustle defenders.
Speaker 2: They don't have good weak side defenders. Bron with the exception.
Speaker 1: Is great, but Bron is at a place in time
Speaker 1: in his career where he can't cover. He knows if
Speaker 1: he has to cover everything on the defensive end.
Speaker 2: You think you can't get to thirty eight or thirty
Speaker 2: six or thirty eight or whatever.
Speaker 1: You can't do that, Yeah, you can't. You can't do that.
Speaker 1: And when you look at Vanderbilt, he's a good defender, right,
Speaker 1: but he's not a good help defender. Hachi Moore is
Speaker 1: not a good help defender. Then you have a weaker
Speaker 1: defender in Luca, which requires a lot of help defense
Speaker 1: right because people are attacking Luca. So like for the Warriors, Looney,
Speaker 1: great help week side defender, Get back to you man
Speaker 1: box out, Dramond Green, great week side help defender, right,
Speaker 1: great on ball defender. The Lakers can defend you and
Speaker 1: put pressure on the ball, but they can't stop you
Speaker 1: from getting to the red.
Speaker 2: We shall see. So who you got winning that series?
Speaker 1: I still got the Lakers. I just think you know, Lebron,
Speaker 1: Lebron and Luca, they still got a half to figure
Speaker 1: out and if they click, then I think Minnesota is
Speaker 1: in trouble.
Speaker 2: Is tough for anybody? Yeah, this is It's tough Minnesota. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's tough. Click all right.
Speaker 1: Last topic, I want to send the huge congratulations to
Speaker 1: my dog, Dremond Green for winning the NBA Hustle Player Award.
Speaker 1: The War honors a player who makes the effort plays
Speaker 1: that go unnoticed in the box score but significantly contributes
Speaker 1: to the team's success. This award, to me, embodies a
Speaker 1: lot of what you've done this year, how you've been available, accessible,
