13
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 2: opening weekend if we're being honest. But before that, history

14
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 2: was made. Baby on Saturday, Jonathan Isaac blocking Jarrett Allen

15
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 2: at the Rim for the record breaking Weggie number fifty nine.

16
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 2: That's the all time high. Well we weren't done because

17
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 2: Trey Murphy the Third said here take this one too,

00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 2: number sixty there in Okac on Sunday, So leggies on Saturday.

19
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:32,319
Speaker 2: Weggies on Sunday. We're up to sixty. It's the all

20
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:36,319
Speaker 2: time record. Go to weggietracker dot com. Just incredible stuff.

21
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 3: I don't know what surprised me more two weggies this

22
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 3: weekend or the fact that Spiroditis on the call didn't

23
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:46,399
Speaker 3: say anything about no dunks, just not one tho thing.

24
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 3: Come on, you know us. Maybe you don't watch your podcast,

25
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 3: but you know us, fellow Greek, come on.

26
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Saturday one too, is like it just like

27
00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 2: it was overlooked. It was a record breaking leggie, but

28
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 2: they didn't even address it, right, And I was like, hey,

29
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 2: history made, it's amazing. We might have and we look,

30
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 2: we're not done and we might get It's up to

31
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:10,959
Speaker 2: sixty three, sixty.

32
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 4: Four for you, Roger Merris, that's right right, your next,

33
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,079
Speaker 4: Barry Bob, that's right, that's right, free, that'd be impressive.

34
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:18,239
Speaker 2: Alright, let's get into the series. Here's what we're gonna do.

35
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,800
Speaker 2: We're gonna tackle them in the order that they happened.

36
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 2: So we'll start on Saturday, build a way up to Sunday,

37
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 2: and we're gonna do It's just one game. Butt my god,

38
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:35,080
Speaker 2: it is intense. I missed this last year when you

39
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 2: guys did the opening weekend. I think I was running

40
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 2: the bust In Marathon.

41
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 4: I was gone. I can't stop running.

42
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 2: I know, and I didn't get to see that that

43
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:44,639
Speaker 2: intro for It's just one game, butt live, But here

44
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 2: we are. So let's go with Donovan Mitchell scoring thirty

45
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 2: as the Cavs open the playoffs with a gritty ninety

46
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 2: seven to eighty three win in Game one over the

47
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 2: Magic Tray. You get us started. It's just one game, Butt,

48
00:02:58,560 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 2: Where are you going?

49
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, I get out here, orange beards and bug eyes

50
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 4: because it was gritty. It's just one game. But turns

51
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 4: out it's hard to score in the playoffs. Ninety seven

52
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 4: to eighty three. Bit of a rude awakening for the

53
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 4: Orlando Magic. Because if it's tough for your team to

54
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 4: score in the regular season, guess what gonna be a

55
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 4: little harder come postseason time. The Calves took the Magic

56
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 4: to Clamps Point Theme Park and Clamps Dusky, Ohio. I

57
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 4: don't know, man, When I think Ohio, I think roller Coasters,

58
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 4: Cedar Point, Ohio, San Dusky. I just kept thinking about

59
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 4: Clamps Dusky this morning, like an old baseball player. Clamp Dusky,

60
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 4: meet me and Clamps Dusky. The Magic were there. Eighty

61
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 4: three points for them, Eighteen of those were fast break points,

62
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 4: which means they scored sixty five points in the half

63
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 4: court in this game, and honestly, it felt like it.

64
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 4: I know Nate Duncan was tweeting out stats during the

65
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 4: competitive portion of this game, where it was like the

66
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 4: Magic wherever doing a half point per possession, right, fifty

67
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 4: points per one hundred possessions. That's not going to cut

68
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 4: at Orlando shot thirty two percent from the field, twenty

69
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 4: one percent from three, and nobody felt it more than

70
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 4: my guy, big rig bon Caro. Twenty four points nine

71
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,919
Speaker 4: to seventeen field goals. That's nice. Looks okay, that's nice.

72
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 4: Five assists to nine turnovers, Yeah, that's not nice. Not

73
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 4: quite as good. He just could not generate good looks

74
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 4: out of the pick and roll, which I thought was

75
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:26,480
Speaker 4: going to be something that the Magic We're gonna have

76
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,040
Speaker 4: to go to to kind of get. Boncaro messed up

77
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 4: with guards. Instead, it was just packing the paint and

78
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 4: trying to dare anybody else from Orlando to beat them,

79
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 4: and they could not do it. But from the Cavs

80
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:38,479
Speaker 4: point of view, this is kind of the ideal first

81
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 4: playoff game, after the way the season ended last year,

82
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 4: after the way they petered out in the second half

83
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,719
Speaker 4: of the season. This year, Donovan Mitchell looked awesome. Best

84
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 4: player on the court by far. Thirty points, he hit

85
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 4: three threes, had three assists. Just looks springy. Looked like

86
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 4: that Donovan Mitchell were used to in the playoffs. I

87
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 4: was shocked to remember the stat that they showed during

88
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 4: the broadcast. He's eighth all time and playoff points per

89
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:05,280
Speaker 4: game because had some major, major moments that sometimes get

90
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 4: overshadowed by his teams coming up short. But he looked

91
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,359
Speaker 4: awesome in Game one. I also thought very encouraging for

92
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 4: the Calves that both Evan Mobley and Jared Allen had

93
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 4: dominant moments. Mobley was great in the first half, sixteen points.

94
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 4: He hit back to back threes, and then it was

95
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:20,720
Speaker 4: like the Magic had to switch a small guy on him,

96
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,159
Speaker 4: took him down to the post and was scoring really efficiently.

97
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 3: That was great.

98
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 4: Jared Allen went for sixteen points and eighteen rebounds. He

99
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 4: was dominant inside. Orlando only scored thirty six points in

100
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 4: the paint, and his defense was a huge part of

101
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:36,039
Speaker 4: the reason Bonkaro could never really get an open look inside,

102
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:40,159
Speaker 4: but they were able to score both Mobley and Allen

103
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 4: both scored sixteen. That keeps their defense on the court.

104
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 4: There was no time where JB. Bickerstaff had to split

105
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 4: them up. So if you're able to get some offense

106
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,039
Speaker 4: out of your front court from the calves, it's going

107
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,039
Speaker 4: to be impossible for Orlando to score enough points in

108
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 4: this series.

109
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, they played twenty three minutes together at the four

110
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 3: or five, which was something they addressed. Basically when Moblei

111
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 3: just smashed those two threes back to back possessions in

112
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,480
Speaker 3: the first quarter, and then yeah, he was able to

113
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:06,720
Speaker 3: take Cole Anthony down in the post because they were switching.

114
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:09,359
Speaker 3: That was he also just looked so good on the

115
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 3: defensive end. Three big blocks and that one possession where

116
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 3: he went at Pallebon Carro at the three point line

117
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:17,599
Speaker 3: and Bean Carol pumped it because he's a little worried

118
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 3: about him, and then the Cavs were able to steal

119
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 3: that ball. So the good defenders on the floor. Sixteen

120
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 3: to eleven and three blocks for him. Great day. Magic

121
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:29,840
Speaker 3: can say, you know what, we missed a lot of

122
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:30,479
Speaker 3: open threes.

123
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 2: Oh god, they did, they did.

124
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 4: They did.

125
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:37,359
Speaker 3: Indeed, twenty three wide open three point attempts according to

126
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 3: the stats, they only hit five of those. That's twenty

127
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,039
Speaker 3: one percent. That's not good. So they were able to

128
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,720
Speaker 3: generate wide open threes. I guess they can think going

129
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 3: to the next game that they'll get them, because that's

130
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 3: what Ben Carroll said after the game. He was looking

131
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 3: at the stat sheet when he was getting interviewed. Thirty

132
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 3: two percent from the floor, twenty one percent from three,

133
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 3: sixty percent from the line, and it still wasn't over

134
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 3: until the last two minutes, which is a lie. It

135
00:06:57,440 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 3: was over like five minutes.

136
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 4: Stretched after the sick yet. But he's sort of right.

137
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 2: This game was there for the taking because it's not

138
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 2: like the Calves were lighting it up on the other end.

139
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 2: In fact, they went over an eighteen minute stretch where

140
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 2: they hit like seven field goals and it was a

141
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 2: four point game, like Ben Carro had that and one

142
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 2: that made it sixty to fifty six, and it was like,

143
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 2: oh my god, the Magic have played horribly, they haven't

144
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 2: shot well, and they're in it. And then that's when

145
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 2: Donovan Mitchell settled things back down. He hit back to

146
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 2: back buckets. They finished on like a thirteen to two

147
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 2: run and that was enough. I mean, the thing with

148
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 2: this one. It was like when it was a ten

149
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 2: point lead, it felt like forty with the way the

150
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 2: Magic were struggling to score. They finished a game that

151
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 2: Orlando did with a sixty two point seven offensive rating

152
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 2: in half court possessions. Put this into context, the worst

153
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 2: half court offense in the regular season belonged to Portland

154
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:51,119
Speaker 2: at eighty eight point nine. The league average ninety nine

155
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 2: half court offense. This was a sixty two point seven.

156
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 2: I saw those Nate Duncan tweets when he was saying

157
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 2: it was like eighty five and it only got worse

158
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 2: as the game. On sugs four sixteen, Gary Harris over six,

159
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 2: Cole Anthony O for seven, I thought he was brutal. Yes,

160
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 2: my god, he was forcing things. The ex equals zero

161
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 2: for my X factor unfortunately. Yeah, and then and then

162
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 2: Folds O for four. I mean nobody and even Franz

163
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 2: Viner garbage game as well. I mean he sort of

164
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 2: got it going late and maybe that carries over into

165
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 2: Game two with some maybe more shot making. But yeah,

166
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 2: I just everyone's brutal, and they could just pack the

167
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 2: paint like you said on PLO and hey, I mean

168
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 2: we don't think anybody else is gonna beat us, And

169
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 2: they didn't really in the regular season shoot the ball

170
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 2: that well, and that continued in game one, but it

171
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 2: was there, like their defense, you know, Jonathan eisen gets

172
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:37,200
Speaker 2: to start, played a lot of minutes. They were coming

173
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,560
Speaker 2: up with a lot of turnovers. I mean, they got

174
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:41,560
Speaker 2: to be kicking themselves because I mean again, Cleveland did

175
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:45,080
Speaker 2: not play as well as they can play, despite minutes

176
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 2: for here and there from Mobiley and Mitchell being awesome,

177
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 2: like oh, Orlando man that this sort of just looked

178
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 2: like a team like, oh, this is our first playoff game.

179
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 3: E oh yeah, hitters and Max Shrew's got to play

180
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 3: way better for the Cleveland Cavaliers. I did like that

181
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 3: move by Jamal Moseley. This is a young head coach

182
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 3: or you know, playoffs in terms of you being a

183
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:06,440
Speaker 3: young head coach, you throw Jonathan Isaac into the starring Lamptock.

184
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:09,439
Speaker 3: I only started two games all year long. That worked

185
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 3: out fairly well for them. Ivan Mobileia obviously shut everybody

186
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 3: up people said he can't shoot the three in this game.

187
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 3: He was obviously awesome, and like we said, he did

188
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 3: finish the game very well, or finished the season, excuse

189
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 3: me very well from three point line since February first,

190
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 3: shooting forty percent from there. And Donovan Mitchell obviously shut

191
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:28,200
Speaker 3: up a lot of people because, as you said Trey

192
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 3: two years ago, the numbers are ridiculous how many points

193
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:34,320
Speaker 3: he scored. But he knows that in the playoffs people

194
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 3: are questioning what he is and that was very apparent

195
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 3: when he hit the game ceiling three. It was like

196
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 3: four and a half minutes left. He hit a deep one, yelled,

197
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:48,080
Speaker 3: just yelled at the crowd, and then he said, what

198
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 3: they think they know they're talking about. That's what I

199
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 3: write it. As you read, there's a lot of words

200
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:59,079
Speaker 3: they think they know they're talking about. So it's a

201
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 3: little wordy thought, sure, but either way.

202
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 4: You never know what's coming out when you're gonna start

203
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:04,200
Speaker 4: screaming at the end of a game.

204
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 2: But you're right about like he had trust in that knee, right.

205
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:09,320
Speaker 2: This guy didn't look good for two months, which is why,

206
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 2: I mean, a big reason why I took Orlando in

207
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 2: this series. And it's just one game, but we're overreacting

208
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 2: and all that. But man, if Mitchell had the confidence

209
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:17,679
Speaker 2: in that, I mean, he looks springy. You said it,

210
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 2: he had that one that classic Mitchell where he drives

211
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 2: to his left, he gets to the paint touches, then

212
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 2: he rises up and hits that little floater. But he's

213
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 2: jumping so damn high. So that bone bruise. I guess

214
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 2: that he had for two months. It looks like it's

215
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:32,720
Speaker 2: fully healed. After one game. He looked amazing. And you're right,

216
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:35,840
Speaker 2: he's got an amazing playoff games under his belt. Yeah,

217
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 2: you know, dating back obviously to Utah.

218
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 3: If you want to read into it. The celebration I

219
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:43,320
Speaker 3: thought was a little too much for a game one.

220
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:45,440
Speaker 3: I thought the Cavs are a little too excited. I

221
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:47,560
Speaker 3: think the Magic are still live in this series, that's all.

222
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 3: I'm definitely reading way too much into a celebration. But

223
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:55,200
Speaker 3: either way, I think the Magic are still alive because

224
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:58,719
Speaker 3: they have spunk. They fight. Yeah, so that's good. Yeah,

225
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 3: good sign. Obviously they fight. Yeah.

226
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 4: As soon as Mo Wagner checked in, within three minutes,

227
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 4: him George Niang, we're going at each other. Uh, Moe

228
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 4: drew a technical I guess on Isaaca Koro. Who did

229
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 4: I don't even remember who he pushed out, but he

230
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 4: pushed down something Ocorra got in his face. Instant tech,

231
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 4: Mo Wagner instant villain in Cleveland. But then George Niang

232
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 4: scored the first point in the Instigator Draft by getting

233
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:26,840
Speaker 4: knocked down by Mark fols Full just trucks him pretty

234
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 4: soon after the Wagner play, and then George got up

235
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 4: in his face and got a TECH for You know,

236
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 4: they didn't want to go any further.

237
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 2: So I have I have the minivan. I have a

238
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 2: one oh lead on you guys right. None of our

239
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 2: other guys in our draft and the Instigator Draft got

240
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:43,439
Speaker 2: any points. I have one point with a tech from Niang.

241
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 4: I think that's it.

242
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, Tatum could have easily got attacked, but he didn't

243
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 3: want it. He knows that he was drafted by me.

244
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 3: So Jaylen Brown got it for him. What a teammate,

245
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 3: he got the tech for him.

246
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 2: I gotta say, some people, when you took Tatum, there

247
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:58,720
Speaker 2: were people saying you should have taken Brown. With Jen Brown,

248
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 2: He's just a spice.

249
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 3: He is fet We'll.

250
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 2: See, We'll see lots of basketball still go in the

251
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 2: Instigator Draft. But I'm up one nothing anything else on

252
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 2: Calves Magic. Do you believe it's still a series? TK Again,

253
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:12,680
Speaker 2: this is one game, but you know test thinks. So

254
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 2: I'm hoping sogas I have Orlando with six.

255
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 4: Let's says you, I changed Calves in six at the

256
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 4: last second on our picks, and I wish I would

257
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:23,080
Speaker 4: have stuck with Caves in five. Okay, Orlando can't score

258
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 4: on him. If you're like, you keep talking about these

259
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 4: open threes, they're gonna be open all series, right, Like

260
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 4: Franz's left wide open. Jonathan Isaac is left wide open.

261
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 4: Folts probably shouldn't play, but he's going to be left

262
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:34,960
Speaker 4: wide open. Who can make him? Polo went two for seven,

263
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,199
Speaker 4: Franz went two for six. They don't have shooters. Yeah,

264
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 4: they're gonna have to have Cole Anthony get hot. So

265
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 4: I don't know. Maybe he starts for Gary Harris. Maybe

266
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 4: they say we got good enough defense. We need some

267
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 4: sort of offense out there. But it looks tough. There's

268
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:48,599
Speaker 4: a reason the Cavs tanked for this.

269
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would say the guys who would the starting

270
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 3: backcourt should be able to hit shots. Jalen Suggs had

271
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 3: his best three points shooting season this year. I don't

272
00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:01,560
Speaker 3: buy it. He was good all season long. At the playoffs, yeah,

273
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:02,719
Speaker 3: he was one for seven, he should be able to

274
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:05,720
Speaker 3: hit open shots. And Gary Harris, Yeah he was brutal.

275
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:08,440
Speaker 3: The guy shouldn't be able to shoot threes. So that's

276
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:12,080
Speaker 3: those are the two guys I've got the Cavs in

277
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 3: this series. I definitely think they should do it, but

278
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 3: there's side is of there and that should be able

279
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,600
Speaker 3: to play better too. As I said, Shrews had five

280
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 3: turnovers in this game. Max Truce, how does that happen?

281
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:23,560
Speaker 3: Didn't shoot well from three either. There's lots of good

282
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 3: things things that they should be better at.

283
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 2: Can the Magic sign Malik Monk, like right now? Can

284
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 2: they just like offer him a ton of money and

285
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:33,960
Speaker 2: get him in there. Thompson's agent must be happy. Yeah

286
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 2: that's true, that's true. Got to get some shooting in there.

287
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 2: But Cleveland up one to zero in that series. Okay,

288
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:41,199
Speaker 2: let's keep it going here. Wolves take down the Suns

289
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 2: one five in Game one behind Anthony Edwards and his

290
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 2: thirty three points. It's just one game, but TK back to.

291
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,840
Speaker 4: You, maybe like Dame Time, maybe like Shay Gil, just

292
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:53,560
Speaker 4: Alexander hitting some big shots. It's just one game. But

293
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 4: Anthony Edwards is the playoff MVP, because to me, the

294
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 4: best moment of the weekend. Yeah, Anthony Edwards trash talking

295
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 4: Kevin Durant. Awesome game for Ant man thirty three points,

296
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:06,560
Speaker 4: nine rebound, six assists, six turnovers, two steals, and he

297
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:09,680
Speaker 4: completely took over in the third quarter eighteen points on

298
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:12,680
Speaker 4: eight of eleven field goals. He scored. How many straight

299
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:15,560
Speaker 4: on Kevin Durant? I think he hit at least three

300
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 4: straight jumpers autumn And then had the great moment where

301
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 4: they're jogging back down the court and it's like celebrating,

302
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 4: pounding his chest, screaming at Durant that he's old Dan.

303
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 4: This is awesome. That was cool. Afterwards, Ant said that

304
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 4: was probably one of the best feelings ever in my

305
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 4: whole life. For sure.

306
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 3: I believe.

307
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 4: He says, Kevin Durant is his favorite player of all time,

308
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 4: so to go head to head against him and come

309
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 4: out on top and get the trash talk them does great.

310
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 4: Durant described the scene as just hoop, just hoop out there.

311
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:49,200
Speaker 4: Duran was playing pretty well on his end, so to

312
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 4: see Ant go back and forth, that was great. But

313
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 4: this is one of the most unexpected results of the weekend.

314
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 4: I think Minnesota blowing out Phoenix in game one. Obviously,

315
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 4: Phoenix won the season series. They held to fourteen points

316
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 4: a game on like thirty one percent shooting. He dominated here,

317
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 4: But this was a great Towns game I thought as well.

318
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 4: Nineteen points on five of nine field goals, had four assists,

319
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 4: seven rebounds. He was scoring in the post. He was

320
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 4: passing in the post, making good decisions. He had a

321
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 4: really big first half. While Ant was kind of finding

322
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 4: his way out there, Gobart was dominant I thought in

323
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 4: this game. Fourteen points, sixteen boards. He had a fade

324
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 4: away in the post at one point. What six for

325
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 4: seven at the free throw line. This might be his

326
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 4: best offensive game we see. But the defense I thought

327
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 4: was pretty special. He was obviously great inside, but the

328
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 4: Timberwolves showed no hesitation switching him out on the perimeter,

329
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:40,280
Speaker 4: and he did a pretty good job. Yeah, moving with

330
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 4: the guards and the forwards there for Phoenix, moving his feet,

331
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 4: making shots tough. I mean, Durant was still hitting shots

332
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 4: over him, but that's just what he does. The kail

333
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 4: Alexander Walker eighteen points, great defense on Booker. Jade McDaniels

334
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 4: was going. He had nine points. He was playing defense

335
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 4: now as Reed came in, had a great jelly. I

336
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 4: thought this was perfect Minnesota. They also out rebounded Phoenix,

337
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 4: outscored them, second chance points, won the bench. This was

338
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 4: a dominant game for Minnesota, and this seemed like it

339
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 4: was gonna be one of the closest series. So I

340
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 4: assume Phoenix is gonna hit back. But great start for

341
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 4: the Timberwolves.

342
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:15,400
Speaker 2: What did you see from this one?

343
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, you can definitely look at it from Minnesota's side

344
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 3: and say we got this thing. But I think Phoenix

345
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 3: is one of those weird teams that doesn't put forth

346
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 3: effort one game and then bank they'll show it the

347
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 3: next ye But the first quarter, it was a decent

348
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 3: first quarter. It was a close game, but I was

349
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 3: surprised by Minnesota's bench and how great they were. That's

350
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 3: where it changed for me. And you can look at

351
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 3: this and say it's just one game, but this is

352
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 3: the most unified team, the most together team in the

353
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 3: NBA because they are just on the same page the

354
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 3: way they had that close first quarter, and then Nikhil

355
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 3: Alexander comes off the bench with Nazrid and they were

356
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 3: so dominant to be able to score twenty to six

357
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 3: and second chance points thirteen to three in offensive rebounds

358
00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 3: and the bench outscoring the Sun's bench forty one eighteen.

359
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 3: I mean that's just as a slaughter in terms of

360
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:06,680
Speaker 3: the playoffs. So huge for Niki Alexander Walker. The way

361
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 3: he played Devin Booker, he got under his skin a bit,

362
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:13,360
Speaker 3: showed him lots of length and Jane McDaniel's was awesome.

363
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:16,119
Speaker 3: Den Booker was mad, he was arguing for calls, he

364
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:17,960
Speaker 3: was upset, he went to the bench with three fouls,

365
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:20,680
Speaker 3: he got fouls himself. He couldn't find a rhythm there,

366
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:24,240
Speaker 3: So I mean that was really was. It was fun.

367
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:26,359
Speaker 3: It was fun to see Edwards talk some smack to

368
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 3: Kevin Durant. But I do think this thing any over either.

369
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:32,880
Speaker 3: I just I'm a little worried about Grayson Allen's ankle.

370
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:34,439
Speaker 3: I haven't heard about that.

371
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:36,360
Speaker 2: He left the game in question for sure.

372
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, made zero shots in this one in twenty five

373
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 3: minutes and then left because of an ankle injury. So

374
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:44,160
Speaker 3: definitely a'll worry. Some odd stuff from Minnesota. I thought

375
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 3: Anthony Edwards being able to hit a bank shot, Okay,

376
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 3: that's not odd. Next possession, Rudy go Barry at a

377
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 3: bank shot like a jump one a jumper a jumper,

378
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:53,639
Speaker 3: not a one foot bank shot. But that was I

379
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:56,280
Speaker 3: didn't know. I was watching NBA playoff basketball there for

380
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 3: a second thought was watching another sport. I was like,

381
00:17:58,119 --> 00:17:59,119
Speaker 3: what is this? What is this?

382
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:01,280
Speaker 2: It was probably the moment the weekend for sure, Anthony

383
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:04,160
Speaker 2: Edwards talking shit to Durant while he's going back after

384
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 2: cooking them. Yeah, it must have been three or four buckets.

385
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:08,439
Speaker 2: I mean he was rolling there in the third and yeah,

386
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 2: just to you know, bring it up again here the

387
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:14,440
Speaker 2: defense that McDaniels and Nikil, Alexander Walker and even Ant

388
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:17,680
Speaker 2: played on Booker Man five or sixteen. He scored eighteen points,

389
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:20,320
Speaker 2: but seven or eight of those points came in basically

390
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:22,679
Speaker 2: garbage time, like it was sort of over. So they

391
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:25,200
Speaker 2: really held them like we're looking at like ten points there.

392
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:28,359
Speaker 2: And just an incredible job, awesome game from Minnesota. That

393
00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:29,760
Speaker 2: place was rocking. I thought that was one of the

394
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 2: maybe the best crowds I know that.

395
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 3: You know.

396
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 2: Madison Square Garden was bumping as well, and those fans

397
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 2: going nuts outside the outside the garden helter a game

398
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:39,200
Speaker 2: one way. And I love the Knicks fans, They're amazing,

399
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:41,920
Speaker 2: but they were they were locked in from the jump

400
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:43,719
Speaker 2: and you're right. I mean this is weird with Phoenix.

401
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:45,440
Speaker 2: It's like, what will happen in game two? I mean,

402
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 2: all three of those guys could cook, they could blow

403
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:49,320
Speaker 2: them out. We could be in for a very fun

404
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 2: series still here, but after one you're feeling great about

405
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:56,120
Speaker 2: Rudy Gobert being able to play and the bench coming

406
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:57,920
Speaker 2: through from Minnesota because this was in a game where

407
00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:00,400
Speaker 2: Kyle Anderson places like not at all because he's banged

408
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:02,959
Speaker 2: up and he's sort of a key contributor usually off

409
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:03,359
Speaker 2: their bench.

410
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 3: So yeah, great stuff, And the bench thing is worrysome

411
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:08,920
Speaker 3: for Phoenix going forward. If Grayson Allen is out, he's

412
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:10,920
Speaker 3: obviously a starter, but they don't go deep on their bench.

413
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,760
Speaker 3: They played Eric Gordon, Royce O'Neill, and Drew u Banks

414
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:15,800
Speaker 3: off the bench. So that's if I.

415
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 2: Would say two of those guys looked unplayable.

416
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 4: Gordon zero points, U Bank's zero points. Gordon's gonna have

417
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:24,600
Speaker 4: to play, Yeah, but he maybe doesn't. Yeah, Kevin Durant

418
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:25,720
Speaker 4: might be looking at forty to.

419
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:29,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, there might we might get a bull bull. Yeah.

420
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 3: Royce O'Neil is good off the bench, but they just

421
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 3: don't have a lot of guys off the bench. But

422
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:36,960
Speaker 3: the crowd was rocking. They're really rocking to singing mister

423
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:40,119
Speaker 3: Bright's side. If you saw that I was doing a

424
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:43,040
Speaker 3: lot of lip reading this weekend. I was very surprised,

425
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:47,080
Speaker 3: very surprised that Bradley Beal came off the bench during

426
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:49,919
Speaker 3: a time out. Mister Brightside is pumping in the arena

427
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 3: and he starts singing, mister bright He knew the words

428
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:56,440
Speaker 3: every single and it was like, deep into the song,

429
00:19:56,480 --> 00:20:00,200
Speaker 3: It's Destiny is calling me. He was singing. Then he

430
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 3: was doing this open up my eger eyes and then

431
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:08,320
Speaker 3: unfortunately they cut away because he could have sung, but

432
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 3: they cut away. They got away right there. It's up

433
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:11,600
Speaker 3: with that sounds.

434
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 4: Like he was locked in.

435
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:18,960
Speaker 2: We brought a playback. The only the only Minnesota Timberwolve

436
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:21,119
Speaker 2: that had a bad game in all honesty was Crunch,

437
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:25,560
Speaker 2: the mascot. Just a garbage performance from him. Interesting, yeah,

438
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:27,640
Speaker 2: we were talking about it on playback. Well, he got

439
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 2: Adrian Peterson to sign a ball, right, He's sitting court side,

440
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:33,480
Speaker 2: you know, the Viking running back, and uh he signs

441
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 2: it and then Crunch grabs it and his big old paw,

442
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:40,439
Speaker 2: his big old mit just like smudges it completely. It

443
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 2: looked like ship. He throws it in the sands and

444
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:46,639
Speaker 2: then he was watching the h he was part of

445
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:49,960
Speaker 2: the trampoline sort of, you know, a little break with

446
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:52,919
Speaker 2: the jumpers and all that. He was throwing. Bad pass

447
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:56,200
Speaker 2: I mean, brutal game. I expect a big bounce back

448
00:20:56,200 --> 00:21:01,720
Speaker 2: from crunching game too. Lights were too bright, but otherwise

449
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:05,440
Speaker 2: the players came through. Let's keep it going here. Nicks

450
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:08,119
Speaker 2: dominate the seventy six Ers on the offensive glass in

451
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 2: game one when it was one of the closest. Was

452
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:13,359
Speaker 2: this the closest, well, no, outside of okay, see in

453
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:15,159
Speaker 2: New Orleans. This was one of the closer games of

454
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:18,640
Speaker 2: the weekend. Tass, what's r your takeaway from this? It's

455
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 2: just one game.

456
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 3: But it's just one game. But Sixers Knicks is the

457
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:24,480
Speaker 3: best playoff series period. It's been so good. It was

458
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:26,959
Speaker 3: so fun from both sides. Jylen Brunson was the guy

459
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:28,960
Speaker 3: that everyone was talking about. This guy's going to be great.

460
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:31,480
Speaker 3: But the Sixers showed him some great defense, throwing so

461
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 3: many bodies at him, some big bodies oubre but two

462
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:39,040
Speaker 3: given Tobias Harris and then Tyres Maxi was so good

463
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:41,840
Speaker 3: against him. He was just so quick and they sped

464
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 3: him up a little bit. And that's what I think

465
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:45,240
Speaker 3: Jalen Brunson's problem is from game one to game two,

466
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:47,480
Speaker 3: I think he'll be working on that Tyres Maxim. Maybe

467
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:49,440
Speaker 3: he just saw the speed and was starting to act

468
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:52,439
Speaker 3: a little too fast because Tyres Maxey, I'm transitioning to

469
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:54,479
Speaker 3: his offense because it was so damn good. That was

470
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 3: so good. I don't know if he's had a better

471
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 3: playoff game numbers wise, yes, he's done better than his

472
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:01,720
Speaker 3: thirty three points that he's had in this game. But man,

473
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:05,440
Speaker 3: he was so insanely good in the Spare Garden. Yeah,

474
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:09,320
Speaker 3: it was really fun. The guys who kept the knicks

475
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:12,200
Speaker 3: in it their bench. I was so surprised by Jalen

476
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:14,919
Speaker 3: Brunson goes to the bench. Miles McBride hit five fricking

477
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:18,119
Speaker 3: threes in this game playing alongside Jalen brunt. Whoever, they

478
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:20,600
Speaker 3: don't win the game without Miles McBride scoring twenty one

479
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:24,040
Speaker 3: points off the bench. Play mcdoonevitch also great off the bench.

480
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 3: Uh you said the offensive rebounds. There was just a

481
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:29,360
Speaker 3: lot of heart in this Madison Square Garden team. They

482
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:33,720
Speaker 3: were so scrappy offensive rebounds intended Yes, okay, Jalen brunt

483
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:37,840
Speaker 3: said five, Josh hart four, Isaiah Hernstein five, Mitchell Wuminson five,

484
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 3: all offensive rebounds. Those are their number seven.

485
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:44,959
Speaker 4: Wow. Yeah, it was crazy. It was Jalen Brunson had

486
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 4: five rebounds the one once.

487
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:50,480
Speaker 3: They were scrapping U. It was so scrappy. Jewel Embiid

488
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:53,639
Speaker 3: and how he threw a ball off the glass to

489
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:57,879
Speaker 3: himself to dunk a ball was extremely cool. And then

490
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:01,760
Speaker 3: it was I almost he was possessed there for a second.

491
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:04,080
Speaker 3: The way his eyes were moving when he was on

492
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 3: the ground throwing it down.

493
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 2: Yeah.

494
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, So he crumples and the way his one eye

495
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,160
Speaker 3: was opening and the other eye wasn't opening. I thought

496
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:13,159
Speaker 3: that was it. This was the end of That was

497
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:15,159
Speaker 3: the end of the second quarter, or close to the

498
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 3: end of the second quarter. So he goes to the

499
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 3: locker room and then he comes out for the third quarter.

500
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:21,600
Speaker 3: I was shocked. I was completely shocked. So just the

501
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:23,440
Speaker 3: effort I love in this game. I loved the way

502
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:27,920
Speaker 3: Mitchell Robinson played Joel Embiid. He didn't start in this game.

503
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:31,440
Speaker 3: It's all Isaiah Hartenstein these days, but he played way

504
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:33,960
Speaker 3: more than Hart and shein and finished the game thirty

505
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:36,960
Speaker 3: minutes for Mitchell Robinson big four blocks in this game,

506
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:39,240
Speaker 3: twelve rebounds. I love that possession where he was guarding

507
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:42,520
Speaker 3: Embiid and he bumped him at mid court with Embiid

508
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:44,600
Speaker 3: bring up the ball, and then at the three point

509
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:47,760
Speaker 3: line he blocked him. Mitchell Robson blocked Joe and Bid

510
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:50,520
Speaker 3: at the three point line. This guy is huge. When

511
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:52,280
Speaker 3: you look at him side by side with Jewel Embid,

512
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:54,800
Speaker 3: you don't think. You don't think anybody's gonna be that

513
00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:57,160
Speaker 3: huge beside Joe and Bieb. But this guy's montrous at

514
00:23:57,600 --> 00:23:59,480
Speaker 3: seven to four wingspan. I think helped him out. And

515
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:02,439
Speaker 3: then you know, going into the fourth quarter, I was

516
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:05,960
Speaker 3: just excited to see Josh Hart interviewed between the third

517
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:08,320
Speaker 3: and fourth quarter. I mean a player being interviewed.

518
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:10,320
Speaker 2: We got a couple of those this weekend.

519
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, we did get a couple and Josh.

520
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 2: They decide that sometimes it's coaches and sometimes it's players.

521
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 2: Yeah it's weird.

522
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:20,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, but it's just players, Like between the third and

523
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 3: fourth quarter these days, like so there's still two interviews

524
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:26,360
Speaker 3: between first, second and the third and fourth. No one's

525
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:28,000
Speaker 3: a coach and one's a player.

526
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:30,920
Speaker 2: Jared Allen I think was uh no, no, I thought

527
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:33,560
Speaker 2: in the Cow's Magic Game, we got two players really

528
00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:35,359
Speaker 2: one of the Yeah, like in the spots where they

529
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:36,240
Speaker 2: usually do coaches.

530
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:40,879
Speaker 3: Yeah. I was surprised Josh Hart would do it because

531
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:43,199
Speaker 3: he wasn't having a great game in terms of his offense.

532
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 3: He wasn't scoring. But he said, okay, I'm doing it,

533
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:48,240
Speaker 3: and he was peeved. He was angry. He's a little

534
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:50,320
Speaker 3: he's a little angry. I was I'm not getting calls.

535
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:52,040
Speaker 3: I don't know what these guys are calling out there.

536
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:54,560
Speaker 3: And then he goes into the fourth quarter hits three

537
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:57,159
Speaker 3: monstrous threes at the end of the game. It's the

538
00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 3: five minute mark, the two minute mark, the one minute mark.

539
00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:03,239
Speaker 3: That was the knock. Yeah, beautiful stuff. He only had

540
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:05,359
Speaker 3: nine going into the fourth quarter. He at thirteen in

541
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 3: the fourth quarter to total twenty two. That was a

542
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:10,080
Speaker 3: great game. That was a heavy wood fight. It felt

543
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:12,040
Speaker 3: like heavy wood fight. I don't watch boxing, but it

544
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 3: felt like one. In Madison Square Garden, you know, it's

545
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:19,959
Speaker 3: the perfect arena for a boxing fight. I guess if

546
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:22,200
Speaker 3: there is one of the pats on there. Yeah, of course,

547
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:24,879
Speaker 3: it felt like man, it felt like it. So do

548
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:25,439
Speaker 3: you think.

549
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:28,200
Speaker 2: This was the best game and you think moving forward

550
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:29,320
Speaker 2: best serious of the playoffs?

551
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:31,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I can trust both teams.

552
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:33,760
Speaker 2: Thank god, it beat looks like he's going to play,

553
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:36,120
Speaker 2: because I mean Twitter was writing him off.

554
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:37,200
Speaker 4: Twitter was saying it was over.

555
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 2: It did appear like when he went down after the

556
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:42,960
Speaker 2: incredible cell value bought the glass and then he was

557
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 2: back in the second half and he was running the

558
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:46,159
Speaker 2: fast break. He threw a sweet dime. I mean he

559
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:49,120
Speaker 2: looked okay. I think he tired as the game went on,

560
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:51,640
Speaker 2: for sure, and you've got the bigs that New York

561
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:54,120
Speaker 2: can throw at him. But yeah, Nicks plus twenty two

562
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:56,200
Speaker 2: in the rebounding call him sort of was the where

563
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:58,679
Speaker 2: the game was won. For the Knicks to go with

564
00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 2: timely threes from heart in the fourth and then Og

565
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:03,320
Speaker 2: hit one as well. Brunton just started making a simple

566
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:05,680
Speaker 2: pass and those guys stepped in him. What are your takeaways?

567
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 4: Three rebounds for Embid in the second half he went

568
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 4: two for eleven, so he was out there. I actually

569
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:11,679
Speaker 4: thought he did a pretty good job of impacting the

570
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 4: game while having no legs because he couldn't challenge shots.

571
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:17,840
Speaker 4: He couldn't rebound at all. I didn't think he looked

572
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:20,200
Speaker 4: very good when he came back, but they said on

573
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:22,959
Speaker 4: the broadcast basically he felt something in his knee. They

574
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 4: told him it was fine, so he's good to play.

575
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 4: It's gonna happen again, like he's gonna go down again.

576
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:28,880
Speaker 4: It's gonna look like, oh, he's done for the rest

577
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:30,760
Speaker 4: of the game. And then he'll come back and limp

578
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:33,680
Speaker 4: through stuff. And if he's able to pass the ball

579
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:35,800
Speaker 4: the way he was, and you know, he's still big

580
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:38,320
Speaker 4: and strong, he'll still be able to score. But he's

581
00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:40,440
Speaker 4: got to hit the glass because otherwise it's like the

582
00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 4: big guys on Philadelphia are but toom Tobias Harris. I mean,

583
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 4: Paul Reid is helpful, but he's so up and down

584
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:50,480
Speaker 4: and a risky player to play. I guess Nick Nurse

585
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:55,359
Speaker 4: is thinking about playing read next to Embid interesting, but

586
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 4: they got to do something to mitigate what New York

587
00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:00,760
Speaker 4: is doing on the glass because Hertenstein had the glass hard.

588
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:03,000
Speaker 4: Heart hits the glass hard. And then Mitchell Robinson, you

589
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:04,919
Speaker 4: mentioned it. The guy was awesome last night. He I

590
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 4: thought tooking Bead out of the game for the most

591
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:08,880
Speaker 4: part with his size and his strength, that's definitely something

592
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:12,359
Speaker 4: he brings to the table that Hartenstein doesn't. Necessarily. Hartenstein's

593
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 4: a little bit more of a finesse kind of guy.

594
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:18,840
Speaker 4: So they're gonna need embiid to be a little bit better.

595
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:20,480
Speaker 4: Like They're gonna need him to look like he did

596
00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:22,480
Speaker 4: in the first half. Guy felt confident en off to

597
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 4: go off the glass for a dunk in the playoffs. Yeah,

598
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:26,480
Speaker 4: you know, are we gonna see that again in the

599
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 4: next few games? I don't know. And if not, it's

600
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:31,399
Speaker 4: gonna have to be Maxie carrying the team because he

601
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:33,600
Speaker 4: was awesome once he started getting downhill. The Knicks really

602
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 4: don't have anybody who can stick with him when he

603
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:38,399
Speaker 4: is aggressive like that. So I think it's gonna have

604
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:40,080
Speaker 4: to be a big time Maxi series And then everybody

605
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:42,200
Speaker 4: else is gonna have to hit threes because I don't

606
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:44,719
Speaker 4: know what they're gonna be able to count on from him.

607
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:47,720
Speaker 2: Bah Yeah, I mean the sixers supporting cast or shit

608
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:49,639
Speaker 2: the bed, Yes, I mean it was Bead doing all

609
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:51,600
Speaker 2: he could do on one knee after the break, and

610
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:55,640
Speaker 2: then Maxie was amazing. Who else played well except Lowry Kyle? Yeah,

611
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:58,160
Speaker 2: Kyle Lowry was like, they're easily the third best player

612
00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 2: for the Sixers. He was great, but you know, Tobias

613
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 2: nothing but to him obviously fell back to earth after

614
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 2: his playing performance.

615
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:05,720
Speaker 3: Played pretty well.

616
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:09,479
Speaker 2: I mean, all right, they did a great job on Brunson.

617
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:12,359
Speaker 2: Their best defense on Brunson was playing from behind. They

618
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:14,480
Speaker 2: did the old hardened trick there where you're just like

619
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:17,720
Speaker 2: literally chase them, and they blocked Brunson like three times

620
00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:20,399
Speaker 2: from behind Maxie and Kelly and those guys. I mean

621
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 2: that was a move like letting them get there, you know,

622
00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:24,080
Speaker 2: not that they're letting them get there, but like chasing

623
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:25,920
Speaker 2: them and staying within the play. And that was you

624
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:28,119
Speaker 2: could see sort of getting in Brunson's mind. So they

625
00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:30,640
Speaker 2: did a good job on him. But yeah, with if

626
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:33,840
Speaker 2: embiid is not healthy, there's no chance. I couldn't believe

627
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:36,399
Speaker 2: he was out there for the second half, and you're right, TK,

628
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:39,520
Speaker 2: I mean, look, he's still his conditioning is not there.

629
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:42,360
Speaker 2: He was obviously favoring the knee a little bit more

630
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:45,240
Speaker 2: and was getting killed on the glass by all these

631
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:47,720
Speaker 2: bigs for New York. I mean, and Mitchell like he

632
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 2: hit two free throws down the clutch the close game, right,

633
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 2: he had that double offensive rebound with like four minutes ago.

634
00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:55,880
Speaker 2: That was a big bucket, had the blocks. Yeah, I mean,

635
00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:57,400
Speaker 2: this was an awesome game for him. Who was the

636
00:28:57,440 --> 00:28:58,520
Speaker 2: guy that was injured all year?

637
00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:01,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was uh Broadcasters and I think it was Breen,

638
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:06,120
Speaker 3: So yeah, I said, that's that's who you want to foul.

639
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:08,240
Speaker 3: Mitchell Robinson going to the free throw line because he's

640
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:10,000
Speaker 3: not a great free throw shooter. And then Bank Bank.

641
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:13,480
Speaker 3: He ended it very strange to see Joel Embiid enter

642
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 3: this game, he told the espan Lisa Salter said, he

643
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:18,480
Speaker 3: told me that he feels seventy to eighty percent coming

644
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:21,640
Speaker 3: into this game. It's a weird ending to his season,

645
00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:24,080
Speaker 3: and that again he didn't play in the final game

646
00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:27,600
Speaker 3: of the season. He sat, don't you want to try

647
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:30,640
Speaker 3: and get things going? And then he had that playing

648
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:33,880
Speaker 3: game where didn't look good. This one he looked better

649
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:35,960
Speaker 3: than that, better, but still.

650
00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:37,440
Speaker 2: He did things in the first five minutes of this

651
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 2: game on the weekend that we didn't see at all

652
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:42,480
Speaker 2: in the playing game, which they obviously still pulled out.

653
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:44,600
Speaker 2: I thought, just he just was moving better. But then

654
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:47,600
Speaker 2: of course when he collapsed off the the oup there

655
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:51,520
Speaker 2: sort of things changed in the second half. Mike Breen

656
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:53,880
Speaker 2: might love Kyle Lowry more than I do. That was

657
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 2: another note I wrote down.

658
00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:56,280
Speaker 3: God he does.

659
00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 2: Mike Bree loves Kyle Lowry. Kept bringing up every little

660
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,280
Speaker 2: you play, like, yes, Mike Breed, he is making the

661
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:04,200
Speaker 2: small little plays and keeping a minute.

662
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:07,800
Speaker 3: At thirty eight years old. He made sure everybody knows. Yeah,

663
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:08,480
Speaker 3: he was awesome.

664
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 2: Any other notes on the Knick's.

665
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:12,440
Speaker 4: Victory here, I don't think so.

666
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:13,320
Speaker 3: I think we did it.

667
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:16,240
Speaker 2: Yeah. According to Cleaning the Glass, the Knicks rebounded fifty

668
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:19,040
Speaker 2: percent of their own misses in the half court, so

669
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:21,520
Speaker 2: we got a lot more chances. Yeah, it felt like it.

670
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 2: Twenty three offensive boards, twenty six to eight advantage, and

671
00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:27,800
Speaker 2: second chance points. That was the game, all right. Final

672
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:32,040
Speaker 2: game from Saturday. Jokich leading the Nuggets over the Lakers

673
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:34,360
Speaker 2: to take Game one. I'll lead this one. It's just

674
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:38,280
Speaker 2: one game. But we have seen this movie too many times,

675
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:42,320
Speaker 2: Will Lou pointing it out on Twitter every Nuggets Lakers game.

676
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:47,040
Speaker 2: It feels the same. It's great, it's competitive, Ad and

677
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 2: Lebron sort of carrying, and it's clear in the end

678
00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:52,160
Speaker 2: that Denver is just better. They just like take over

679
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:53,960
Speaker 2: down the stretch and obviously a lot of that's Yo

680
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 2: Kitchen Murray, the two man game, and it was very

681
00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:59,360
Speaker 2: similar to the games we saw last year in the postseason.

682
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:01,480
Speaker 2: Games we've seen between these teams in the regular season.

683
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 2: They just have their number. They're just better. And Jokic

684
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:07,920
Speaker 2: thirty two to twelve, seven assists, pair of steels. He

685
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:10,760
Speaker 2: just dominated for stretches too. That's the other thing. You're like,

686
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 2: it's not all game, but he just takes over for

687
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:17,640
Speaker 2: five six minute window and that's enough. And they took

688
00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:21,360
Speaker 2: care of business once again, their ninth consecutive win over

689
00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:24,960
Speaker 2: the Lakers. Your notes, your thoughts, your tease.

690
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:28,400
Speaker 4: My thoughts were with Lebron James as he sat on

691
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:30,400
Speaker 4: the end of the bench looking sad, thinking about how

692
00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:32,640
Speaker 4: he's going to explain this on his podcast. The same

693
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:35,520
Speaker 4: thing happens time and time again. It was the exact

694
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:39,440
Speaker 4: same games. Like Anthony Davis played pretty well. Oh, you

695
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:42,320
Speaker 4: would almost say that Anthony Davis canceled out Nicola Yokic

696
00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:46,440
Speaker 4: thirty two points, fourteen rebounds, five assists, four blocks. Awesome

697
00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:48,440
Speaker 4: game for AD and he got ran out of the

698
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:50,240
Speaker 4: gym by Joki. You could see it on that last

699
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:55,080
Speaker 4: dagger dunk. After Jokic had a dunk nearly on Lebron

700
00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:57,040
Speaker 4: James a one hander on the fast break that I

701
00:31:57,040 --> 00:31:59,200
Speaker 4: guess it was. Dave Pash was on the call. He said,

702
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:03,520
Speaker 4: I guess that was a slam. Next time down the court,

703
00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:06,200
Speaker 4: it's like the Nuggets play a little defense. They get

704
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:09,000
Speaker 4: the rebound and you could see Anthony Davis hands on

705
00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:12,560
Speaker 4: his knees gasping for breath. Yok It just sprints down

706
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:17,280
Speaker 4: the court, outruns a d That's pretty sweet, right, outruns Ad,

707
00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:20,080
Speaker 4: outruns Lebron, maybe gives them a little push off as well.

708
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:22,160
Speaker 4: Throws down the dunk. The game was over. It's like

709
00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:24,640
Speaker 4: they've got the best guy out there, and that he

710
00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:26,440
Speaker 4: looks like the best guy. It was easy. The guy

711
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:29,640
Speaker 4: showed up dressed like a cartoon and dominated crazy.

712
00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:33,600
Speaker 2: That altitude, man, it's real training in It helps out.

713
00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:36,480
Speaker 2: They'll kitchen the Nuggets because you're right, Ad was tired.

714
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 2: An awesome game. He was awesome. It was him and

715
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:39,840
Speaker 2: Ad and that was it.

716
00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:44,880
Speaker 3: Ad. Yeah. Yeah, that's the difference between the Denver Nuggets

717
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:46,720
Speaker 3: is that they can go deep. You're three or four

718
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:49,960
Speaker 3: or five or six or seven. They had KCP making

719
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:52,640
Speaker 3: Dangela Russell run and run and run and run and run.

720
00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:54,600
Speaker 3: Not that Casey B had a great game, but I

721
00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:57,880
Speaker 3: bring up dangel Russell because he didn't. Daniel Russell couldn't

722
00:32:57,920 --> 00:32:59,960
Speaker 3: hit open shots in this game. And that's what happened

723
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:03,600
Speaker 3: last year in the Conference finals. Danngel Russell was awful

724
00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:06,719
Speaker 3: in that series. He scored just six points in the

725
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:08,840
Speaker 3: first three games of that series, and then he was

726
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:12,000
Speaker 3: moved to the bench for Game four. So the Nuggets

727
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:15,080
Speaker 3: have a goal. They try and make Daniel Russell tired,

728
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:18,840
Speaker 3: and they try and Lakers are trying to put him

729
00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:22,479
Speaker 3: on KC to have him not guard anybody who handles

730
00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:25,479
Speaker 3: the ball all that much. And looking at it, we

731
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:27,960
Speaker 3: were watching those shots that Daniel Russell missed when he

732
00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:30,480
Speaker 3: was one for nine from three and he was six

733
00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:32,600
Speaker 3: for twenty, and then he said after the game, I

734
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:35,440
Speaker 3: don't recall the last time I shot twenty shots, and

735
00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:38,520
Speaker 3: I watched him They're wide open. He was just missing shots.

736
00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:40,600
Speaker 3: I don't know if we get more Gay Vincent or

737
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 3: Spencer Dinwiddie next time. I was surprised that I didn't

738
00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:46,200
Speaker 3: see Anthony Davis guard Yokic all the much. That wasn't

739
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:48,480
Speaker 3: the one on one matchup. But because he is gassed,

740
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:51,600
Speaker 3: I suppose it makes sense because he played great and

741
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:55,120
Speaker 3: was still gassed, So you're throwing Ruey at him. And

742
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:57,840
Speaker 3: I don't think the answer is putting Anthony Davis on Jokich,

743
00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:00,920
Speaker 3: really it. I think it's having more good players, And

744
00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:04,360
Speaker 3: unfortunately that's not really working right now, because like this

745
00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:06,000
Speaker 3: was a close game in the second quarter, but the

746
00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:09,560
Speaker 3: Nuggets were just offensive rebound, second chance points, not turning

747
00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:12,480
Speaker 3: the ball over only six to twelve. They won all

748
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:14,719
Speaker 3: the categories, they just won them.

749
00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:18,600
Speaker 2: Caseyp hit those three three pointers during that big run there,

750
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:21,080
Speaker 2: that thirteen to zero run, that sort of they took

751
00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:24,280
Speaker 2: control of the game there in the third quarter. Timely threes.

752
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:26,120
Speaker 2: He does this, and D'Angelo Russell, I mean, we got

753
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:27,920
Speaker 2: to go over this, he said, six to twenty one

754
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:31,560
Speaker 2: to nine from deep. In now, five postseason games against Denver,

755
00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:35,400
Speaker 2: he has scored thirty eight total points. That's it, sixteen

756
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:37,759
Speaker 2: to fifty one shooting, that's thirty one percent. Three of

757
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:40,480
Speaker 2: twenty four from deep that's twelve and a half percent,

758
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:43,640
Speaker 2: and his point differential is minus forty five. In the

759
00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:45,400
Speaker 2: one hundred and thirty five minutes he's played in these

760
00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:48,000
Speaker 2: five postseason games. He was really really good for the

761
00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:51,360
Speaker 2: Lakers during the regular season, especially you know, trade deadline

762
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:53,839
Speaker 2: dil I mean, he was amazing after all that he

763
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:56,719
Speaker 2: has to just hit these shots and then for them

764
00:34:56,719 --> 00:34:58,760
Speaker 2: to have any chance. And even then it's the Nuggets,

765
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:00,920
Speaker 2: like they don't fear the Lakers, that's for sure. They're

766
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:04,360
Speaker 2: totally fine, like sort of just trading blows for you

767
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:07,680
Speaker 2: know whatever thirty six minutes, and then there's the stretch

768
00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:09,040
Speaker 2: where they just run them out of the gym and

769
00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:11,560
Speaker 2: then it's too much to come back, so they just

770
00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:15,239
Speaker 2: they have their number. And I thought Lebron looked like

771
00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:18,279
Speaker 2: he was even like exhausted and like what are we

772
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:20,360
Speaker 2: supposed to do? How He's like you can see Lebron like,

773
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:22,000
Speaker 2: how are we going to finally beat this team? How

774
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:23,760
Speaker 2: do we beat them? Because they haven't.

775
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:26,239
Speaker 4: They got to try and trade D'Angelo Russell before Game two.

776
00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:29,760
Speaker 4: I think at the very least they shouldn't play Russell

777
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:33,160
Speaker 4: and Reeves together all that often because neither of them

778
00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:35,840
Speaker 4: can guard, and Russell is so streaky that if he

779
00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:38,319
Speaker 4: doesn't have it going, you're probably better off going with

780
00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:41,320
Speaker 4: Reeves and dinwitdie or Reeves and Vincent and then splitting

781
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:42,960
Speaker 4: up for Russell to go with the other one of them.

782
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:45,760
Speaker 4: Though it's not like Dinwitdi or Vincent did anything goose

783
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:48,040
Speaker 4: eggs for both of those guys, and then eleven I

784
00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:49,640
Speaker 4: guess for Torre and prints off the bench. It was

785
00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:52,680
Speaker 4: actually pretty solid, like not a great bench performance for

786
00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:55,400
Speaker 4: the Nuggets. So the game was there for the Lakers

787
00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:58,680
Speaker 4: if they got better performances from these guys who consistently

788
00:35:58,719 --> 00:36:01,120
Speaker 4: don't show up. So I don't know how they're feeling

789
00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:03,960
Speaker 4: confident about that, because you're right, like Anthony Davis. They're

790
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:05,879
Speaker 4: not gonna have him guard Yokic because he can't guard

791
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:08,560
Speaker 4: Yokic and it's a waste of his fouls to have

792
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:10,359
Speaker 4: him on it because he'll get into foul trouble. So

793
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:13,480
Speaker 4: they try. Really doesn't matter they try Lebron doesn't matter.

794
00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:16,440
Speaker 4: Like that's the thing. There's no other real adjustments, though

795
00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:19,359
Speaker 4: Darvin Ham says he's saving them. He says, I got

796
00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:21,719
Speaker 4: some adjustments. Oh, we didn't want to blow them all game.

797
00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:27,319
Speaker 4: Bold move, yeah, bold move I think by Darv. But

798
00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:30,200
Speaker 4: we'll see. It would be helpful if they had Dwight Howard. Literally,

799
00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:31,680
Speaker 4: it would be helpful if they had Dwight Howard. That's

800
00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:33,680
Speaker 4: the last time the Lakers were ever able to stop

801
00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:35,360
Speaker 4: the Nuggets with when Dwight Howard was playing.

802
00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:37,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I thought there may be a chance. When we

803
00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:40,839
Speaker 3: were talking mid season here and Dwight Howard was hanging

804
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:43,680
Speaker 3: out in Taiwan after playing there, I thought there was

805
00:36:43,719 --> 00:36:46,799
Speaker 3: a chance. Just throw his body at Jokic for ten

806
00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:47,799
Speaker 3: minutes a game, just.

807
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:50,080
Speaker 2: The idea if we see Denver in a postseason match,

808
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:50,839
Speaker 2: that we have them.

809
00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:53,879
Speaker 3: But yeah, I think this is the series that's over.

810
00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:56,960
Speaker 3: I still do think we have we at least me

811
00:36:57,280 --> 00:37:01,480
Speaker 3: has faith in the magic the Suns and the Sixers

812
00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:04,319
Speaker 3: making those series series, but not with this one. You

813
00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:06,279
Speaker 3: get a game where Jamal Murradham shoot all that well,

814
00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:09,120
Speaker 3: he's shut nine for twenty four and you still got popped.

815
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:12,160
Speaker 3: You you won the free throw battle nineteen to six,

816
00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:17,160
Speaker 3: you still got popped. It's the offensive rebounds fifteen to six,

817
00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:21,120
Speaker 3: transition points twenty one to fourteen that Denver wins. And

818
00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:23,799
Speaker 3: Anthony Davis quoted after the game, I thought this was good.

819
00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:26,960
Speaker 3: We can't be bad at defensive rebounding and transition we

820
00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:31,239
Speaker 3: have to be better in both departments, if not one,

821
00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:35,560
Speaker 3: very Yeah, you're right smart. Actually, yeah, man, here you

822
00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:38,000
Speaker 3: got popped small steps. Yeah, and the Darvin Hamm it's

823
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:40,879
Speaker 3: not gonna happen as he tried the let's bring Austin

824
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:42,960
Speaker 3: right Reeves off the bench for a while this season.

825
00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:45,839
Speaker 3: That didn't work. It's just it's just they're going with

826
00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:49,719
Speaker 3: what got them here. Yeah, they might have some transitions,

827
00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:51,719
Speaker 3: but that was the game to steal out. I thought, right,

828
00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:54,520
Speaker 3: Da or Dallas, Denver's gonna get better probably.

829
00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:57,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, let's go to Sunday. We had some

830
00:37:57,520 --> 00:38:00,600
Speaker 2: we had some blowouts, blowout City. Yeah, we had a

831
00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:01,920
Speaker 2: good one at the end. We'll get to it, but

832
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:04,680
Speaker 2: let's start with Tatum triple double leading the Celtics past

833
00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:08,839
Speaker 2: the Jimmy butlerless heat one fourteen ninety four in their

834
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:11,279
Speaker 2: playoff opener. It's just one game, but.

835
00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:13,719
Speaker 3: It's just one game. But the Celtics are going to

836
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:17,960
Speaker 3: sweep all three Eastern Conference rounds. Shit, we're gonna take

837
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:19,239
Speaker 3: care of business twelve, they know.

838
00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:21,160
Speaker 2: Let me move my mic around.

839
00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:22,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I get fuddy.

840
00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:27,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, No, I mean I'm jumping out here on uh

841
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:32,520
Speaker 3: on a stage to say the bust and Celtics feel

842
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:36,000
Speaker 3: like they are the best team. They didn't just beat

843
00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:39,000
Speaker 3: the the Miami Heater an eight seed, you call them

844
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:41,719
Speaker 3: an eight seed. That Miami Heating was playing defense. They're

845
00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:45,200
Speaker 3: playing extremely hard on that end. But the Celtics are

846
00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:48,120
Speaker 3: just so much better and well. The reason why I

847
00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:50,400
Speaker 3: say they can they can sweep all three rounds is

848
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:54,879
Speaker 3: because this is a team performance one through eight where

849
00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:58,120
Speaker 3: they are just better. They're just so good and they

850
00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:00,520
Speaker 3: feel that way. The way they're playing. They didn't need

851
00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:03,319
Speaker 3: an incredible game from one guy, absolutely not. But they

852
00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:05,880
Speaker 3: got eight guys to hit threes. It's freaking hard to do.

853
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:09,719
Speaker 3: Six guys in double digits. So much fanciness too. It

854
00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:12,239
Speaker 3: was a fun game if you're a Boston Celtics fan

855
00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:15,600
Speaker 3: to watch Jalen Brown first minute go behind the back

856
00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:20,960
Speaker 3: spin and dunket. That was awesomeriss Porzingis is feeling freaking confident,

857
00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:24,160
Speaker 3: shooting bombs of threes, just ripping from wherever he had

858
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:26,839
Speaker 3: Hyman Hawks out on him. You think, okay, this little

859
00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:30,000
Speaker 3: guy might steal a ball from chrisps Porzingi's pump fake

860
00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:32,839
Speaker 3: dribble to his left to get into a three point shot.

861
00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:35,880
Speaker 3: I mean he felt comfortable. Jason Tatum first postseason triple

862
00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:38,839
Speaker 3: double of his career. I'm a little surprised by that, but.

863
00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:41,919
Speaker 2: Played a lot, he like nearly at one hundred playoff games.

864
00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:45,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, little Rice here in year seven, gone to a finals,

865
00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:48,920
Speaker 3: gone to every freaking conference finals. But he got body

866
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:50,120
Speaker 3: checked by Caleb Martin.

867
00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:51,239
Speaker 4: Didn't say a thing.

868
00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:53,920
Speaker 3: He just felt so cool and comfortable. They're just confident.

869
00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:56,080
Speaker 3: He walked away. Jalen Brown came and stood up for

870
00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:58,360
Speaker 3: his teammate. Good to see that. But I just think

871
00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:01,399
Speaker 3: they are you know, people were worried the last ten

872
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:03,480
Speaker 3: fifteen games. Okay, they didn't play great, they could have,

873
00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:06,200
Speaker 3: they could be better, but they're just so confident. Porzinga

874
00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:08,640
Speaker 3: said it after the game. Maybe that's why I said stage,

875
00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:11,120
Speaker 3: but he said that's a tease for what he said,

876
00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:13,440
Speaker 3: We set the stage for the rest of our path.

877
00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:16,399
Speaker 3: He knows, you know that one game against the Heat

878
00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:19,920
Speaker 3: doesn't mean all that much. But they're playing so freaking confident.

879
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:22,320
Speaker 3: So yeah, I think there's a chance. I think we

880
00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:26,760
Speaker 3: got bucks, we got Nicks. Yep, that's yep, yep.

881
00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:28,920
Speaker 2: That's all. I mean. They look great and they should

882
00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:30,600
Speaker 2: come out of the East, which we've talked about. And yeah,

883
00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:32,000
Speaker 2: they took their foot off the gas over the last

884
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:33,839
Speaker 2: fifteen to twenty games. They weren't playing for anything, No,

885
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:36,800
Speaker 2: they were so clearly you know, the number one seed.

886
00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:38,840
Speaker 2: But to sweep all three.

887
00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:42,319
Speaker 3: Rounds that far so okay, So now they can beat

888
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:44,840
Speaker 3: the Heat in this week? Well that okay, Calves Magic

889
00:40:45,120 --> 00:40:47,400
Speaker 3: would be their their next matchup. It's either Cavs or

890
00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:50,400
Speaker 3: the Magic. They could sweep that they could, Oh, yes

891
00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:52,640
Speaker 3: they could, Yes they could. So then the big one,

892
00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:55,759
Speaker 3: the big question. If we're talking about who's Boston gonna

893
00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:59,200
Speaker 3: beat by four to one or four to two, it's

894
00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:02,479
Speaker 3: the Bucks, Bucks or the Knicks. The Knicks.

895
00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:05,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, right, right right, So that's a hot take, spicy

896
00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:08,239
Speaker 2: to what do you think of this game?

897
00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:10,680
Speaker 4: I guess specifically I would take under two and a

898
00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:14,399
Speaker 4: half Eastern Conference playoff losses for the Celtis. Yeah, definitely, Okay, Yeah,

899
00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:16,359
Speaker 4: I think it's pretty solid.

900
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:19,160
Speaker 2: They play with their food sometimes sometimes.

901
00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:22,040
Speaker 4: Well, they also took forty nine threes in this game.

902
00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:23,480
Speaker 4: They made twenty two of them. It's the most the

903
00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:26,000
Speaker 4: Celtics have ever made in a postseason game. But if

904
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:28,279
Speaker 4: you take fifty threes. There could be one game where

905
00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:29,800
Speaker 4: you make ten of them and that would be the

906
00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:32,279
Speaker 4: game they lose. So I think if the Celtics lose

907
00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:34,080
Speaker 4: a game in the Eastern Conference, it'll be because they

908
00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:37,640
Speaker 4: beat themselves, right, But that was not this game. Every

909
00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:40,239
Speaker 4: player hit a three pointer then playing for the Celtics.

910
00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:43,280
Speaker 4: This was like a simple triple double for Jason Tatum.

911
00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:45,440
Speaker 4: I was pretty impressed and, like Tess, a little surprised.

912
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:47,719
Speaker 4: That's the first time he's had one in the postseason.

913
00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:50,120
Speaker 4: But when he had a favorable matchup with a smaller

914
00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:52,560
Speaker 4: guy on him, whether it was Hakez or high Smith,

915
00:41:53,760 --> 00:41:56,239
Speaker 4: who were predominantly sticking to him, he would just shoot

916
00:41:56,280 --> 00:41:58,200
Speaker 4: over the top of them, and then if they were

917
00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:01,960
Speaker 4: trying to tilt the defense toward him, very patient, dribbled, dribbled, dribble,

918
00:42:02,080 --> 00:42:04,680
Speaker 4: draw a double team, make the easy pass, and then

919
00:42:04,719 --> 00:42:07,480
Speaker 4: everybody was able to knock one down for the Celtics,

920
00:42:07,520 --> 00:42:10,600
Speaker 4: including Sam Hauser four for six. This guy got hot

921
00:42:11,040 --> 00:42:14,319
Speaker 4: as well. I'm still kind of surprised that only eight

922
00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:16,760
Speaker 4: guys played for the Celtics since this was a blowout

923
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:18,799
Speaker 4: for the majority of the game, but I guess the

924
00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:22,120
Speaker 4: heat did make it a little interesting in the fourth quarter.

925
00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:25,600
Speaker 4: But yeah, it looks like the Celtics were excited to

926
00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:27,480
Speaker 4: play against the heat and despite the fact that they

927
00:42:27,520 --> 00:42:29,040
Speaker 4: hadn't played in basically a week.

928
00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:32,480
Speaker 2: No rust, no no dominant victory there from Boston. Let's

929
00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:34,520
Speaker 2: keep him moving because that one is not going to

930
00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:37,000
Speaker 2: be a series. I think we touch on too too much.

931
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:39,799
Speaker 2: If they take care of business, uh Harden Zubats leading

932
00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:43,640
Speaker 2: the Clippers past the Mavericks one, nine to ninety seven,

933
00:42:43,719 --> 00:42:46,920
Speaker 2: maybe maybe the most surprising result from the weekend when

934
00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:48,080
Speaker 2: you consider no Kawhi.

935
00:42:48,560 --> 00:42:50,919
Speaker 3: It's just one game, butt, It's just one game. Butt.

936
00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:54,720
Speaker 3: MAVs head coach Jason Kidds's job is on the line,

937
00:42:55,440 --> 00:42:58,200
Speaker 3: and I mean, if this is a short series, I

938
00:42:58,239 --> 00:43:00,520
Speaker 3: think he could be fired. I think there is a chance. Now,

939
00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:03,040
Speaker 3: I still think they're gonna have a good series, but

940
00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:07,280
Speaker 3: I'm gonna exaggerate and say I'm wondering about this Mavericks

941
00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:09,560
Speaker 3: team of the way they came out in this game.

942
00:43:10,280 --> 00:43:13,279
Speaker 3: This isn't a young team, this isn't Orlando, this isn't

943
00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:15,879
Speaker 3: a team that doesn't have any experience. And to see

944
00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:19,000
Speaker 3: them get popped on both ends, both ends of the floor.

945
00:43:19,040 --> 00:43:23,040
Speaker 3: They were extremely bad. They're don't down twenty six at half.

946
00:43:23,520 --> 00:43:25,640
Speaker 3: I just thought their defense would be way better because

947
00:43:25,640 --> 00:43:27,799
Speaker 3: in the regular season they had the third lowest percentage

948
00:43:27,840 --> 00:43:29,880
Speaker 3: allowed at the rim, six few shots at the rim.

949
00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:33,160
Speaker 3: They're just good in the paint. That didn't happen. Dallas

950
00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:35,520
Speaker 3: down twenty four to eight in the paint in the

951
00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:39,400
Speaker 3: first half, and Gafford was asked, why did your defense

952
00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:41,120
Speaker 3: start like that? I gotta be ready.

953
00:43:41,680 --> 00:43:42,640
Speaker 2: That might be on kid.

954
00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:46,200
Speaker 3: I think that's a fair question about this team. Luka Doncic.

955
00:43:46,440 --> 00:43:49,600
Speaker 3: After again a terrible first half of this team, they

956
00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:52,160
Speaker 3: are scored in single digits in the second quarter of

957
00:43:52,160 --> 00:43:55,000
Speaker 3: this game. Does how does that happen? He was asked

958
00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:56,759
Speaker 3: after the game, what happened in the first half. I

959
00:43:56,760 --> 00:43:59,120
Speaker 3: don't know why it happened? Like he can say that

960
00:43:59,200 --> 00:44:02,120
Speaker 3: and that's totally fun. But this team is set for

961
00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:05,120
Speaker 3: the next season. This is their team. What you're saying

962
00:44:05,120 --> 00:44:07,759
Speaker 3: now is going to be what their team is next year.

963
00:44:07,960 --> 00:44:11,360
Speaker 3: And again, I don't think this series is over. But

964
00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:13,680
Speaker 3: this is a Clipper team that didn't have Kaui out

965
00:44:13,680 --> 00:44:16,439
Speaker 3: there that smacked them because they were just ready. Tyler

966
00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:19,120
Speaker 3: had this team ready. Dallas was not. And so if

967
00:44:19,160 --> 00:44:21,040
Speaker 3: you get popped and you lose in four or five

968
00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:25,640
Speaker 3: or six, maybe it's if it's just a whipping. I

969
00:44:25,680 --> 00:44:28,080
Speaker 3: think Jason Kidds' job could be on the line. And

970
00:44:28,239 --> 00:44:30,360
Speaker 3: you can be happy if you're a MAVs fan. In

971
00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:33,279
Speaker 3: twenty twenty two, when Dallas made its run to the

972
00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:38,640
Speaker 3: conference finals, they lost all game ones. So you can

973
00:44:38,680 --> 00:44:41,160
Speaker 3: be happy. You can be happy. Yeah, it's a good

974
00:44:41,160 --> 00:44:43,759
Speaker 3: stat Shout out to NBA dot Com for sending me

975
00:44:43,800 --> 00:44:45,839
Speaker 3: that one. They didn't send it to me. I went

976
00:44:45,880 --> 00:44:48,880
Speaker 3: to their website. But anyway, so you can look at

977
00:44:48,920 --> 00:44:52,080
Speaker 3: that that way. That's it. That's it. But I mean,

978
00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:53,600
Speaker 3: what are you gonna do if you know this is

979
00:44:53,600 --> 00:44:56,399
Speaker 3: what your team is. They've got everybody signed, They can't

980
00:44:56,440 --> 00:44:58,279
Speaker 3: really trade a lot of draft pics. I mean they

981
00:44:58,320 --> 00:45:00,239
Speaker 3: have a couple, but they don't have that much. Should

982
00:45:00,239 --> 00:45:03,400
Speaker 3: they just go get and deal something for so I

983
00:45:03,400 --> 00:45:06,320
Speaker 3: think this is legitimate in terms of the entire series

984
00:45:06,400 --> 00:45:07,719
Speaker 3: and how it plays out.

985
00:45:07,880 --> 00:45:10,200
Speaker 2: Well, you can't beat game one. James Harden, Baby, that

986
00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:10,760
Speaker 2: was awesome.

987
00:45:10,840 --> 00:45:11,360
Speaker 4: That was awesome.

988
00:45:11,719 --> 00:45:13,239
Speaker 2: So we were like, we were like, is this guy

989
00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:15,239
Speaker 2: good good anymore? Because he did not look it for

990
00:45:15,239 --> 00:45:17,960
Speaker 2: the last two months. He's incredible in game ones. He

991
00:45:18,080 --> 00:45:20,120
Speaker 2: dominated this game from the jumps. Zoo Box was a

992
00:45:20,160 --> 00:45:23,640
Speaker 2: monster inside, especially in the first half. The maps were

993
00:45:23,640 --> 00:45:26,000
Speaker 2: down so much and we're playing so poorly, like a

994
00:45:26,160 --> 00:45:28,080
Speaker 2: balloon to like thirty right at one point, and it

995
00:45:28,120 --> 00:45:29,719
Speaker 2: was like the classic. You could tell it was like

996
00:45:30,200 --> 00:45:32,200
Speaker 2: they'll cut this to like nine or ten and it

997
00:45:32,239 --> 00:45:33,919
Speaker 2: will be too little, too late.

998
00:45:33,960 --> 00:45:35,040
Speaker 4: That's exactly what happened.

999
00:45:35,040 --> 00:45:36,759
Speaker 2: I think they got it to ten and then you know,

1000
00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:38,960
Speaker 2: Clippers took care of business at the end. But what

1001
00:45:38,960 --> 00:45:42,720
Speaker 2: do you take away from this game? This really dominant

1002
00:45:42,760 --> 00:45:43,440
Speaker 2: victory from the Clips.

1003
00:45:43,480 --> 00:45:45,680
Speaker 4: I thought it was an awesome victory from the Clippers,

1004
00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:47,640
Speaker 4: and I think a lot of it was like, it's

1005
00:45:47,840 --> 00:45:50,880
Speaker 4: very cliche. We didn't come out strong enough, but literally

1006
00:45:50,960 --> 00:45:53,600
Speaker 4: Daniel Gaffert said that, and the guy had zero rebounds

1007
00:45:53,600 --> 00:45:56,520
Speaker 4: and got dominated inside by ZoomBox. So I'm with you

1008
00:45:56,560 --> 00:45:58,640
Speaker 4: on that one, Daniel Gaffert. He didn't have the requisite

1009
00:45:58,680 --> 00:46:01,160
Speaker 4: intensity and this one I recalled him out for it

1010
00:46:01,360 --> 00:46:03,759
Speaker 4: afterwards too. But just wait for game two. That would

1011
00:46:03,760 --> 00:46:06,279
Speaker 4: be my suggestion for the Mavericks because James Harden last

1012
00:46:06,360 --> 00:46:09,000
Speaker 4: year Game one against the Celtics, no Joel Embiid. He

1013
00:46:09,080 --> 00:46:12,240
Speaker 4: put forty five points up, big win for the Sixers.

1014
00:46:12,239 --> 00:46:14,359
Speaker 4: Followed that one up with a two for fourteen twelve

1015
00:46:14,400 --> 00:46:18,640
Speaker 4: point outing in the loss in Game two. So, like

1016
00:46:18,640 --> 00:46:20,720
Speaker 4: you're saying, skeez, he's had a lot of great game ones,

1017
00:46:20,760 --> 00:46:22,520
Speaker 4: had a long time to prepare for this. When we

1018
00:46:22,560 --> 00:46:25,160
Speaker 4: have known the matchup for quite some time. He was

1019
00:46:25,200 --> 00:46:28,600
Speaker 4: feeling healthy and rested, and he looked great like coming

1020
00:46:28,640 --> 00:46:30,760
Speaker 4: into the series. I said, Harden's got to be a score.

1021
00:46:30,800 --> 00:46:33,480
Speaker 4: He's got to look for his offense because he's gonna

1022
00:46:33,520 --> 00:46:35,360
Speaker 4: have favorable matchups. He had Luke on him quite a

1023
00:46:35,440 --> 00:46:37,560
Speaker 4: bit in the first half, just went around him time

1024
00:46:37,640 --> 00:46:40,320
Speaker 4: and time again, got into the lane, easily finished or

1025
00:46:40,400 --> 00:46:43,680
Speaker 4: easily found Zubas. So will we see that Harden for

1026
00:46:43,680 --> 00:46:46,279
Speaker 4: the rest of the series. Clippers need it because we

1027
00:46:46,320 --> 00:46:48,200
Speaker 4: don't know what's going on with Kawhi. He was out,

1028
00:46:48,239 --> 00:46:50,560
Speaker 4: then he was questionable, then he was out. He might

1029
00:46:50,600 --> 00:46:52,719
Speaker 4: not play in the series. That wouldn't surprise anybody. He

1030
00:46:52,800 --> 00:46:55,880
Speaker 4: might come back and be great. That also wouldn't surprise anybody.

1031
00:46:55,960 --> 00:46:58,359
Speaker 4: But uh, weird stuff to see the MAVs come out

1032
00:46:58,400 --> 00:46:59,399
Speaker 4: and lay a complete egg.

1033
00:47:00,360 --> 00:47:02,960
Speaker 2: It was like it felt like every fifty to fifty

1034
00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:06,879
Speaker 2: ball or every deflection was like going the Clippers way.

1035
00:47:06,960 --> 00:47:09,000
Speaker 2: Like some of that was just bad luck to the MAVs.

1036
00:47:09,040 --> 00:47:11,000
Speaker 2: But you know, there was a little more of a

1037
00:47:11,040 --> 00:47:14,279
Speaker 2: fight to obviously La than there was Dallas right from

1038
00:47:14,280 --> 00:47:17,360
Speaker 2: the jump. Everything it was so weird, and again they

1039
00:47:17,760 --> 00:47:20,239
Speaker 2: made it a respectable final score and they did cut

1040
00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:22,440
Speaker 2: it to Tampa. Yeah, it was like, I mean, you're

1041
00:47:22,440 --> 00:47:24,480
Speaker 2: down thirty in a playoff game. That's going to be

1042
00:47:24,680 --> 00:47:27,120
Speaker 2: very difficult to overcome. And there was that stretch that

1043
00:47:27,320 --> 00:47:29,279
Speaker 2: you know, they sort of started to make a move

1044
00:47:29,280 --> 00:47:31,080
Speaker 2: there in the second half, but then you know it

1045
00:47:31,120 --> 00:47:33,200
Speaker 2: was Paul George hitting timely shots and like just like

1046
00:47:34,160 --> 00:47:35,920
Speaker 2: they did a great job. This was the best. This

1047
00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:38,040
Speaker 2: was the most surprising result to me with the no

1048
00:47:38,160 --> 00:47:40,480
Speaker 2: Kauhai just the ass kick and then they laid on

1049
00:47:40,560 --> 00:47:41,040
Speaker 2: Dallas there.

1050
00:47:41,480 --> 00:47:44,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, kah I was on the bench and fully palming

1051
00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:48,160
Speaker 3: a bottle of water. Just how big that palm looks.

1052
00:47:48,280 --> 00:47:50,440
Speaker 3: There's no other word. I mean with what he was

1053
00:47:50,480 --> 00:47:53,719
Speaker 3: doing a style. Yeah, does he come out for Game two.

1054
00:47:54,120 --> 00:47:57,279
Speaker 3: That's why this Clippers team looks incredible on paper, because

1055
00:47:57,280 --> 00:47:58,799
Speaker 3: Harden's the number three guy and doesn't have to do

1056
00:47:58,840 --> 00:48:02,120
Speaker 3: what he did last year and Philadelphia. I did like

1057
00:48:02,200 --> 00:48:04,800
Speaker 3: this stat though, just looking at the Clippers throughout this season.

1058
00:48:05,320 --> 00:48:11,320
Speaker 3: Lomery who covers the Clippers and covers this this Sunday

1059
00:48:11,360 --> 00:48:14,040
Speaker 3: and Saturday game where they have lots of matinees and

1060
00:48:14,080 --> 00:48:16,400
Speaker 3: they're just not good. They're not good at those games

1061
00:48:16,400 --> 00:48:20,280
Speaker 3: for some reason. Harden shot only thirty seven percent on Saturdays,

1062
00:48:20,320 --> 00:48:23,080
Speaker 3: thirty five percent on Sundays throughout the season.

1063
00:48:23,760 --> 00:48:24,680
Speaker 4: Then he killed it.

1064
00:48:25,360 --> 00:48:27,440
Speaker 3: He was so good, I mean, twenty points in the

1065
00:48:27,440 --> 00:48:29,680
Speaker 3: first half, and then the second half was just just

1066
00:48:29,719 --> 00:48:31,719
Speaker 3: holding on a little bit. I mean it wasn't much.

1067
00:48:31,719 --> 00:48:33,280
Speaker 3: It was second half that kind of stunk.

1068
00:48:33,400 --> 00:48:35,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, and they got it to ten. That was as

1069
00:48:35,080 --> 00:48:37,520
Speaker 2: close as they got. Awesome game one there from the clips,

1070
00:48:38,840 --> 00:48:42,760
Speaker 2: let's go to Damian Lillard's thirty five point first half

1071
00:48:43,520 --> 00:48:46,319
Speaker 2: to help the Bucks beat the Pacers one oh nine

1072
00:48:46,640 --> 00:48:48,719
Speaker 2: ninety four. That score looks a little closer than it

1073
00:48:48,719 --> 00:48:50,560
Speaker 2: really was as well, No Johannis in game one. It's

1074
00:48:50,600 --> 00:48:51,760
Speaker 2: just one game, butt, what do you got?

1075
00:48:52,080 --> 00:48:54,600
Speaker 4: It's just one game. But it's still damn time sometimes

1076
00:48:55,560 --> 00:48:58,800
Speaker 4: In the first half yesterday, thirty five points for Lillard

1077
00:48:58,800 --> 00:49:01,720
Speaker 4: and his Bucks playoff date, you more than Drew Holliday

1078
00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:04,320
Speaker 4: or Eric Bledsoe ever scored in the playoffs for the Bucks.

1079
00:49:05,040 --> 00:49:07,400
Speaker 4: It was all the first half, very very weird. But

1080
00:49:08,040 --> 00:49:09,959
Speaker 4: you'll take it even if it's only in the first half.

1081
00:49:10,040 --> 00:49:12,560
Speaker 4: Every win for the Bucks without Giannis is kind of

1082
00:49:12,560 --> 00:49:15,000
Speaker 4: like a double win because now it's like, you don't

1083
00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:16,960
Speaker 4: got a hurry him back. You feel a little bit

1084
00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:20,840
Speaker 4: more confident with Giannis being resting up and getting healthy

1085
00:49:21,120 --> 00:49:24,399
Speaker 4: for the latter half of this series, with Dame being

1086
00:49:24,400 --> 00:49:26,280
Speaker 4: able to carry the way he did thirty five points

1087
00:49:26,280 --> 00:49:28,840
Speaker 4: on eleven of nineteen field goals, six of ten for

1088
00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:31,440
Speaker 4: the three point line. Nineteen of his points came in

1089
00:49:31,520 --> 00:49:33,680
Speaker 4: the first quarter. I just thought it was so smart

1090
00:49:33,680 --> 00:49:36,799
Speaker 4: the way he played it. The Pacers were up on him,

1091
00:49:36,800 --> 00:49:38,880
Speaker 4: so he was driving to the hoop, scored a bunch inside.

1092
00:49:38,920 --> 00:49:42,000
Speaker 4: Eventually they had to mess around with their defenses, and

1093
00:49:42,040 --> 00:49:45,320
Speaker 4: then Lillard just started raining threes in the second half.

1094
00:49:45,480 --> 00:49:48,279
Speaker 4: Doubled them a lot more, pressured the ball a lot more,

1095
00:49:48,320 --> 00:49:49,960
Speaker 4: and Lillard did a good job of getting off it.

1096
00:49:50,280 --> 00:49:51,840
Speaker 4: And since they were up so big, you know, he

1097
00:49:51,880 --> 00:49:54,719
Speaker 4: didn't necessarily have to stay in the same rhythm. He

1098
00:49:54,840 --> 00:49:58,560
Speaker 4: was so. I thought Lillard was spectacular. You hear you saw,

1099
00:49:58,840 --> 00:50:01,359
Speaker 4: I'm sure task was lippery At this point he said,

1100
00:50:01,360 --> 00:50:03,560
Speaker 4: that's what they brought me here for. I mean, I

1101
00:50:03,600 --> 00:50:06,480
Speaker 4: would say that they brought him here for the latter

1102
00:50:06,560 --> 00:50:09,839
Speaker 4: halfs of the games. Actually, like the clutch shots, that's

1103
00:50:09,920 --> 00:50:12,120
Speaker 4: really what they brought him here for. But being able

1104
00:50:12,160 --> 00:50:14,760
Speaker 4: to carry the team when Giannis isn't playing is another

1105
00:50:14,800 --> 00:50:18,200
Speaker 4: thing they also brought him there for. On the flip side,

1106
00:50:18,760 --> 00:50:22,399
Speaker 4: Halleauer was canceled. Unfortunately, they said we can't do any

1107
00:50:22,440 --> 00:50:26,080
Speaker 4: free drinks on this Sunday afternoon. Nine points for Tyrese Haliburton.

1108
00:50:26,160 --> 00:50:29,120
Speaker 4: He shot the ball seven times. That's crazy. He had

1109
00:50:29,280 --> 00:50:31,880
Speaker 4: eight assists in three turnovers. I think part of it

1110
00:50:31,960 --> 00:50:34,040
Speaker 4: is that we've talked about it a lot. Halliburton isn't

1111
00:50:34,080 --> 00:50:36,400
Speaker 4: necessarily the same player he was the first couple of

1112
00:50:36,400 --> 00:50:39,000
Speaker 4: months of the season. But I also thought great game

1113
00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:42,120
Speaker 4: plan by the Bucks sending to at him when necessary,

1114
00:50:42,200 --> 00:50:44,719
Speaker 4: forcing Miles Turner to make plays in space, which is

1115
00:50:44,800 --> 00:50:46,480
Speaker 4: not his forte. And then part of it I thought

1116
00:50:46,520 --> 00:50:49,320
Speaker 4: was Patrick Beverly did a really good job of trying

1117
00:50:49,360 --> 00:50:51,839
Speaker 4: to keep Halliburton going towards his left because Halliburton makes

1118
00:50:51,880 --> 00:50:53,440
Speaker 4: the dance. He likes to float, and he likes to

1119
00:50:53,480 --> 00:50:56,120
Speaker 4: step to the right and shoot his side step three pointer,

1120
00:50:56,200 --> 00:50:58,799
Speaker 4: and he could not get that off against Beverly. He

1121
00:50:58,840 --> 00:51:00,920
Speaker 4: did make one three pointer, but it was kind of

1122
00:51:00,960 --> 00:51:02,799
Speaker 4: like a tipout, I think on an offensive rebound that

1123
00:51:02,800 --> 00:51:05,400
Speaker 4: he knocked down. So I thought, great stuff, because that

1124
00:51:05,440 --> 00:51:08,080
Speaker 4: matchup there is really going to determine how these series,

1125
00:51:08,280 --> 00:51:10,799
Speaker 4: this series goes, at least until Jannis is back. Dame

1126
00:51:11,440 --> 00:51:13,000
Speaker 4: outplayed Halliburton big time.

1127
00:51:13,040 --> 00:51:16,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure. And the Pacers, as you said, they

1128
00:51:16,320 --> 00:51:19,640
Speaker 3: changed their defense in the second half. They gave Miles

1129
00:51:19,640 --> 00:51:22,560
Speaker 3: Turner the road to just get that ball out of

1130
00:51:22,600 --> 00:51:24,520
Speaker 3: Damian Lillard's hands. Let's just get out of his hands.

1131
00:51:24,560 --> 00:51:26,359
Speaker 3: That's why he doesn't score in the second half. They

1132
00:51:26,360 --> 00:51:29,200
Speaker 3: did that, and that's what the Bucks were doing against

1133
00:51:29,200 --> 00:51:33,120
Speaker 3: tiers Alburn. They were doubling a lot, and so they

1134
00:51:33,200 --> 00:51:36,000
Speaker 3: got the ball out of his hands. Yeah, that's a

1135
00:51:36,040 --> 00:51:40,960
Speaker 3: weird offense that the Pacers were running out there in

1136
00:51:41,040 --> 00:51:43,759
Speaker 3: how he only had seven shots and eleven percent usage rate,

1137
00:51:43,840 --> 00:51:47,959
Speaker 3: his lowest of the season. It looked odd, and yeah,

1138
00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:50,440
Speaker 3: the Pacers were more ready for the second half. It

1139
00:51:50,480 --> 00:51:53,800
Speaker 3: sure felt like to be able to go at Damian Lillard,

1140
00:51:53,880 --> 00:51:58,359
Speaker 3: who looked ridiculously fast. I was watching on and over

1141
00:51:58,400 --> 00:52:02,319
Speaker 3: the backboard cam. You can really respect and understand how

1142
00:52:02,360 --> 00:52:03,200
Speaker 3: fast these guys are.

1143
00:52:03,239 --> 00:52:03,520
Speaker 4: He was.

1144
00:52:03,600 --> 00:52:06,920
Speaker 3: He just had that twitch speed that I remember in Portland.

1145
00:52:06,920 --> 00:52:09,800
Speaker 3: I didn't remember it from Milwaukee at all. He looked

1146
00:52:09,920 --> 00:52:14,640
Speaker 3: so quick in this game and for them. Chris Middleton

1147
00:52:14,800 --> 00:52:16,799
Speaker 3: was fantastic in this game. He came through in so

1148
00:52:16,800 --> 00:52:18,799
Speaker 3: many key moments when the Pacers were trying to come back.

1149
00:52:19,120 --> 00:52:22,239
Speaker 3: Nine to fourteen. For Chris Middleton, that's a guy you

1150
00:52:22,320 --> 00:52:24,600
Speaker 3: really don't think has the same legs that he did

1151
00:52:24,600 --> 00:52:27,600
Speaker 3: three years ago when they won the thing. So that's

1152
00:52:27,600 --> 00:52:30,680
Speaker 3: all great. I will say Pascal Siakam is going to

1153
00:52:30,760 --> 00:52:32,480
Speaker 3: have the most points in this series.

1154
00:52:32,600 --> 00:52:33,200
Speaker 4: He showed up.

1155
00:52:33,360 --> 00:52:35,239
Speaker 3: He was good. He seventeen in the first half, He

1156
00:52:35,320 --> 00:52:37,080
Speaker 3: led the team, He led the whole game with thirty

1157
00:52:37,120 --> 00:52:37,560
Speaker 3: six points.

1158
00:52:37,600 --> 00:52:40,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a playoff career high I think for was it. Yeah, yeah,

1159
00:52:40,719 --> 00:52:42,560
Speaker 2: I'm scoring that much with the Raps thirty six.

1160
00:52:42,719 --> 00:52:44,759
Speaker 3: Yeah he came close to that, No, but probably not.

1161
00:52:45,560 --> 00:52:48,920
Speaker 3: So He's gonna score the most points of anybody because

1162
00:52:48,960 --> 00:52:50,520
Speaker 3: I think they are doing a good job of getting

1163
00:52:50,520 --> 00:52:52,800
Speaker 3: the ball out of Halburn's hands. So what's up, Pascal?

1164
00:52:52,880 --> 00:52:54,560
Speaker 3: You got it and he was good. He was really

1165
00:52:54,560 --> 00:52:55,239
Speaker 3: good in this game.

1166
00:52:55,320 --> 00:52:58,160
Speaker 2: Yeah for sure. Middleton going for twenty three ten, four assists,

1167
00:52:58,239 --> 00:53:00,120
Speaker 2: nine to fourteen shooting. You know, got to the I

1168
00:53:00,239 --> 00:53:02,440
Speaker 2: know a little bit knock down four of those. That's a

1169
00:53:02,480 --> 00:53:04,719
Speaker 2: great sign for the Bucks. You know, if you get

1170
00:53:04,760 --> 00:53:07,439
Speaker 2: Jiannis back, when you get Jannis back, that you've got

1171
00:53:07,520 --> 00:53:09,839
Speaker 2: Dame doing Dame like things. You got Middleton. I mean,

1172
00:53:09,840 --> 00:53:11,920
Speaker 2: we got to see the big three there in Milwaukee

1173
00:53:11,920 --> 00:53:15,880
Speaker 2: together for them to have a chance to maybe knock

1174
00:53:15,920 --> 00:53:18,399
Speaker 2: off obviously the Pacers I think they will ultimately take

1175
00:53:18,400 --> 00:53:21,080
Speaker 2: care of, but the Knicks in the second round or

1176
00:53:21,080 --> 00:53:22,759
Speaker 2: whoever they play, and then maybe the Celtics if they

1177
00:53:22,760 --> 00:53:24,160
Speaker 2: get to the conference finals. You got to have a

1178
00:53:24,200 --> 00:53:26,080
Speaker 2: good Middleton. So that's a great start for him. Here

1179
00:53:26,080 --> 00:53:27,719
Speaker 2: in the post, you can see the difference in some

1180
00:53:27,760 --> 00:53:30,120
Speaker 2: of these teams, especially a team like that, I'm being older.

1181
00:53:30,239 --> 00:53:32,319
Speaker 2: They had a week off. I mean, we have this

1182
00:53:32,360 --> 00:53:33,960
Speaker 2: whole playing thing that was going on for a week

1183
00:53:34,000 --> 00:53:36,560
Speaker 2: and they get a lot of rest, and I think

1184
00:53:36,560 --> 00:53:38,759
Speaker 2: it worked to their favor here in Game one, the

1185
00:53:38,800 --> 00:53:42,120
Speaker 2: final game from the weekend, the last game on Sunday night.

1186
00:53:42,160 --> 00:53:44,000
Speaker 2: It was a good one, the closest one we had.

1187
00:53:44,400 --> 00:53:46,760
Speaker 2: SGA scored twenty eight points as the top seeded Thunder

1188
00:53:47,239 --> 00:53:50,279
Speaker 2: beat the Pelicans ninety four ninety two. It's just one game,

1189
00:53:50,320 --> 00:53:55,080
Speaker 2: but the Pelicans I believe are the perfect first test

1190
00:53:55,719 --> 00:53:57,200
Speaker 2: for the inexperienced Thunder.

1191
00:53:57,200 --> 00:53:57,399
Speaker 3: Here.

1192
00:53:57,440 --> 00:54:00,880
Speaker 2: We've talked NonStop about this young OKC team. Haven't been

1193
00:54:00,920 --> 00:54:03,000
Speaker 2: in the post sings in a while. All these guys,

1194
00:54:03,160 --> 00:54:05,359
Speaker 2: you know, the bright lights, and this is a good test.

1195
00:54:05,400 --> 00:54:07,360
Speaker 2: I mean, this is like a fifty win team. Obviously

1196
00:54:07,520 --> 00:54:10,200
Speaker 2: no zions, so they're a different team, but they're still scrappy.

1197
00:54:10,640 --> 00:54:13,640
Speaker 2: You saw it here, both teams struggling to score a

1198
00:54:13,680 --> 00:54:15,680
Speaker 2: lot of that was like really good defense from both

1199
00:54:15,719 --> 00:54:18,640
Speaker 2: sides and how they attack this and this is just

1200
00:54:18,680 --> 00:54:20,359
Speaker 2: good I think for OKAC, I think they're gonna win

1201
00:54:20,360 --> 00:54:22,480
Speaker 2: this series. I think they're gonna have a much better

1202
00:54:22,480 --> 00:54:24,160
Speaker 2: game too. I could sort of smell like a weird

1203
00:54:24,160 --> 00:54:27,160
Speaker 2: blowout in game two, if I'm being honest, But Pelicans

1204
00:54:27,160 --> 00:54:29,200
Speaker 2: are a good team and great for OKAC to here

1205
00:54:29,280 --> 00:54:31,600
Speaker 2: gets some like oh damn, this is the playoff sort

1206
00:54:31,600 --> 00:54:34,360
Speaker 2: of reps here early if they have, you know, plans

1207
00:54:34,400 --> 00:54:36,920
Speaker 2: to go quite far here this postseason as a young squad.

1208
00:54:36,960 --> 00:54:40,359
Speaker 2: But twenty lead changes we had in this one, more

1209
00:54:40,400 --> 00:54:43,720
Speaker 2: than the nineteen combined lead changes in the first seven

1210
00:54:43,760 --> 00:54:47,200
Speaker 2: playoff games that we just talked about for an hour.

1211
00:54:48,120 --> 00:54:50,279
Speaker 2: There's twenty in this game, and obviously a big one

1212
00:54:50,360 --> 00:54:53,759
Speaker 2: late when SGA, who had sort of like a sort

1213
00:54:53,760 --> 00:54:56,080
Speaker 2: of quiet, you know, first sort of game here for OKC,

1214
00:54:56,560 --> 00:54:59,080
Speaker 2: he just hit the timely buckets, created his space, he

1215
00:54:59,120 --> 00:55:01,560
Speaker 2: had the N one and that was enough after I

1216
00:55:01,560 --> 00:55:03,400
Speaker 2: guess the Pelicans had taken a lead there on Ingram

1217
00:55:03,440 --> 00:55:07,319
Speaker 2: but fun game. Just Pelicans went one for seven in

1218
00:55:07,360 --> 00:55:10,920
Speaker 2: the final three minutes of the game, three turnovers, and

1219
00:55:11,040 --> 00:55:12,839
Speaker 2: Okase pulled it out a.

1220
00:55:12,719 --> 00:55:15,800
Speaker 4: Lot of dirty diapers. I thought this one on both sides,

1221
00:55:16,360 --> 00:55:18,880
Speaker 4: neither team really wanted to win this game. So I

1222
00:55:18,960 --> 00:55:23,279
Speaker 4: thought a major missed opportunity for New Orleans because this

1223
00:55:23,320 --> 00:55:25,839
Speaker 4: one was stealable. You know, if Zion played, I think

1224
00:55:25,880 --> 00:55:28,000
Speaker 4: they easily win this game. I think the thunder are

1225
00:55:28,040 --> 00:55:30,000
Speaker 4: probably like good thing we weren't playing the Lakers in

1226
00:55:30,040 --> 00:55:33,320
Speaker 4: this one team that keeps their head and makes smart plays.

1227
00:55:33,360 --> 00:55:35,439
Speaker 2: But kence why it was like this is the team.

1228
00:55:35,560 --> 00:55:38,000
Speaker 2: Like a good first test, Like the first game, it

1229
00:55:38,040 --> 00:55:40,279
Speaker 2: didn't look pretty, it didn't look They're gonna get better.

1230
00:55:40,280 --> 00:55:41,080
Speaker 2: They're gonna look better.

1231
00:55:41,080 --> 00:55:44,080
Speaker 4: They're gonna be better because like Shake Gill, just Alexander,

1232
00:55:44,120 --> 00:55:46,880
Speaker 4: he was pretty shaky in the fourth quarter, like minutes

1233
00:55:46,920 --> 00:55:50,400
Speaker 4: five through four of clutch time from minute five to

1234
00:55:50,440 --> 00:55:53,080
Speaker 4: minute one not good. A lot of turnovers, throwing it

1235
00:55:53,120 --> 00:55:55,279
Speaker 4: to nobody. Yeah, and then he hit a couple of

1236
00:55:55,280 --> 00:55:57,600
Speaker 4: miracle shots to put him over the top. On the

1237
00:55:57,640 --> 00:56:00,840
Speaker 4: flip side, the Thunder are closing with two rookies and

1238
00:56:00,840 --> 00:56:03,360
Speaker 4: the second year guy, and they're all making huge plays.

1239
00:56:03,440 --> 00:56:06,520
Speaker 4: Chet had two nice blocks on Larry Nance. I was

1240
00:56:06,560 --> 00:56:10,279
Speaker 4: wondering if maybe Willie Green wanted Yonis Valanunas back in

1241
00:56:10,440 --> 00:56:13,759
Speaker 4: he big beef last night. His interior presence may have

1242
00:56:13,840 --> 00:56:16,200
Speaker 4: helped down the stretch. But that's the way that the

1243
00:56:16,239 --> 00:56:18,320
Speaker 4: Thunder or the Pelicans have been playing for a while,

1244
00:56:18,440 --> 00:56:21,200
Speaker 4: is sitting Valentunis at the end of games for Nance

1245
00:56:21,239 --> 00:56:24,799
Speaker 4: and then on the perimeter Cason Wallace. I called that

1246
00:56:24,840 --> 00:56:26,440
Speaker 4: this guy was going to be closing games for the

1247
00:56:26,480 --> 00:56:28,719
Speaker 4: Thunder in the playoffs before the trade deadline. I can't

1248
00:56:28,719 --> 00:56:31,920
Speaker 4: believe it was Game one though, clamping CJ McCollum, who

1249
00:56:32,000 --> 00:56:34,120
Speaker 4: looked old man. He could not get around this young

1250
00:56:34,200 --> 00:56:37,120
Speaker 4: buck out there. Cason knocks it out of his hand.

1251
00:56:37,360 --> 00:56:40,120
Speaker 4: I guess CJ hit him with the pump, takes step through,

1252
00:56:40,239 --> 00:56:42,000
Speaker 4: hit the rim. But like, if you lose on that shot,

1253
00:56:42,000 --> 00:56:45,239
Speaker 4: you lose on that shot. I thought, awesome defense by

1254
00:56:45,280 --> 00:56:48,520
Speaker 4: Cason Wallace there. So yeah, Thunder kind of lucky to

1255
00:56:48,520 --> 00:56:50,759
Speaker 4: get away with a win in game one here, and

1256
00:56:51,040 --> 00:56:53,040
Speaker 4: just a bummer for New Orleans because they should have

1257
00:56:53,040 --> 00:56:53,279
Speaker 4: won this.

1258
00:56:53,320 --> 00:56:56,760
Speaker 3: I think, yeah, they are kicking themselves right now because

1259
00:56:56,840 --> 00:56:58,959
Speaker 3: they honestly could have played a lot better. They didn't

1260
00:56:58,960 --> 00:57:02,480
Speaker 3: shoot the ball well from repoint land. They just could

1261
00:57:02,520 --> 00:57:05,040
Speaker 3: take advantage of some of the things that the Thunder

1262
00:57:05,200 --> 00:57:08,520
Speaker 3: messed up with. Even Chet's missed free throw with fourteen

1263
00:57:08,560 --> 00:57:10,960
Speaker 3: seconds left. They just look they just looked like, Okay,

1264
00:57:11,040 --> 00:57:13,680
Speaker 3: CEG mccollmck has a chance. But yeah, Cason wallis, yeah,

1265
00:57:13,680 --> 00:57:16,160
Speaker 3: playing way beyond his years. It is amazing that they're

1266
00:57:16,160 --> 00:57:18,400
Speaker 3: playing with two roocks in Chet, who had a great

1267
00:57:18,440 --> 00:57:22,000
Speaker 3: game defensively, he was awesome blocking shots all over the place.

1268
00:57:23,280 --> 00:57:26,000
Speaker 3: And to go along with you know, Jay Dubb and Shay,

1269
00:57:26,720 --> 00:57:30,920
Speaker 3: who did not have a great game. He just wasn't himself.

1270
00:57:30,920 --> 00:57:32,520
Speaker 2: He hit the buckets when he needed to did. Those

1271
00:57:32,520 --> 00:57:33,840
Speaker 2: were two big shots.

1272
00:57:33,760 --> 00:57:35,680
Speaker 3: He did, But all three of his turnovers were in

1273
00:57:35,720 --> 00:57:38,480
Speaker 3: the fourth quarter. They came late, and he missed all

1274
00:57:38,520 --> 00:57:40,840
Speaker 3: his threes. Now, Herb Jones was awesome against him. There's

1275
00:57:40,840 --> 00:57:44,880
Speaker 3: no doubt that's their matchup. But yeah, shout out to

1276
00:57:44,920 --> 00:57:47,560
Speaker 3: Dagna for changing it up a little bit, getting him

1277
00:57:47,600 --> 00:57:50,360
Speaker 3: on switches and that helped out. Now they had a

1278
00:57:50,360 --> 00:57:53,080
Speaker 3: great Trey Murphy game on one side. I mean, I

1279
00:57:53,080 --> 00:57:54,840
Speaker 3: guess he can slow down, but really they.

1280
00:57:56,280 --> 00:57:58,200
Speaker 2: Because I heard Bill Simmons saying, like this one, he's

1281
00:57:58,200 --> 00:58:00,640
Speaker 2: thinking this could be a seven game series with how

1282
00:58:00,680 --> 00:58:03,040
Speaker 2: the Pelicans looked. I actually think the opposite, because you

1283
00:58:03,040 --> 00:58:04,640
Speaker 2: guys just went over it like that was the one

1284
00:58:04,680 --> 00:58:06,840
Speaker 2: they had to get and they didn't. Okay, so he's

1285
00:58:06,840 --> 00:58:08,800
Speaker 2: gonna play better. I think they're gonna stop them in

1286
00:58:09,080 --> 00:58:10,960
Speaker 2: game two. I just got the weird feeling that they

1287
00:58:10,960 --> 00:58:13,120
Speaker 2: got this one out of the way. They somehow escaped

1288
00:58:13,120 --> 00:58:13,400
Speaker 2: with it.

1289
00:58:13,880 --> 00:58:16,000
Speaker 3: But what do you stop them? Yeah, they could definitely

1290
00:58:16,040 --> 00:58:19,760
Speaker 3: stop them. They have enough people. I'm a little surprised

1291
00:58:19,840 --> 00:58:22,400
Speaker 3: Dekanaut's a great coach, but going eleven deep as he

1292
00:58:22,440 --> 00:58:25,080
Speaker 3: did throughout the season, it's weird. Gordon Hayward just doesn't

1293
00:58:25,080 --> 00:58:29,040
Speaker 3: have his his offensive anything. He's just not the same

1294
00:58:29,240 --> 00:58:32,800
Speaker 3: guy offensively he was. He's good defensively. But if they

1295
00:58:32,840 --> 00:58:34,720
Speaker 3: play their better players, I think they'll be better. That's

1296
00:58:34,840 --> 00:58:40,400
Speaker 3: that's my real research here on this game. It was

1297
00:58:40,480 --> 00:58:43,880
Speaker 3: it's hard to say what you'll get in second in

1298
00:58:43,880 --> 00:58:45,520
Speaker 3: the second game for Okay, see, I guess they just

1299
00:58:45,520 --> 00:58:47,080
Speaker 3: have to get one out of the way if they

1300
00:58:47,120 --> 00:58:49,280
Speaker 3: have a good game, that's all they needed to do.

1301
00:58:49,360 --> 00:58:51,439
Speaker 2: And that's why you're saying, yeah, I mean both teams

1302
00:58:51,440 --> 00:58:54,040
Speaker 2: struggled to shoot forty three percent for Okac ten to

1303
00:58:54,080 --> 00:58:56,560
Speaker 2: thirty two from deep, Pelicans worst thirty eight percent from

1304
00:58:56,600 --> 00:58:59,680
Speaker 2: the floor, eleven to thirty nine from three, So both teams.

1305
00:59:00,160 --> 00:59:01,520
Speaker 2: I mean, that's why we got a ninety four to

1306
00:59:01,600 --> 00:59:03,440
Speaker 2: ninety two score here, and you know, going back to

1307
00:59:03,520 --> 00:59:05,520
Speaker 2: the you know, to the nineties here with this one.

1308
00:59:05,560 --> 00:59:08,760
Speaker 2: But I just think, man, it was there, it was there.

1309
00:59:08,800 --> 00:59:10,680
Speaker 2: You guys went over it and they played well, and

1310
00:59:10,680 --> 00:59:12,880
Speaker 2: then they just sort of one or seven, like I said,

1311
00:59:12,920 --> 00:59:15,400
Speaker 2: down the stretch, the Pelicans, like just after they took

1312
00:59:15,440 --> 00:59:18,200
Speaker 2: the lead, it was they could not generate good looks

1313
00:59:18,520 --> 00:59:20,280
Speaker 2: and a lot of those great defense and I just think, Okay,

1314
00:59:20,280 --> 00:59:21,720
Speaker 2: so he's gonna get better at as we go on

1315
00:59:21,720 --> 00:59:23,440
Speaker 2: here the postseason. But it could be wrong. Hopefully, I

1316
00:59:23,520 --> 00:59:25,320
Speaker 2: am hopefully we got a great series here in a

1317
00:59:25,320 --> 00:59:26,120
Speaker 2: one eight matchup.

1318
00:59:26,240 --> 00:59:28,280
Speaker 3: Okay, So it didn't even have a really good postgame

1319
00:59:28,320 --> 00:59:31,320
Speaker 3: interview like they usually do. They knew it, they knew

1320
00:59:31,360 --> 00:59:34,480
Speaker 3: they they it was Shay was Primary, you know, in

1321
00:59:34,520 --> 00:59:37,880
Speaker 3: the spotlight. He felt bad, he didn't feel good, and yes,

1322
00:59:38,280 --> 00:59:40,200
Speaker 3: good move by Stephanie. Ready to give them the microphone

1323
00:59:40,240 --> 00:59:43,560
Speaker 3: to hear some barks. But it wasn't Jada. Yeah, Jada

1324
00:59:43,680 --> 00:59:44,320
Speaker 3: wasn't even there.

1325
00:59:45,240 --> 00:59:50,360
Speaker 2: I guess he had he was barking during the game, yeah, early, Yeah.

1326
00:59:50,440 --> 00:59:52,200
Speaker 4: I think what was happening was like you had the

1327
00:59:52,240 --> 00:59:54,800
Speaker 4: TNT interview going in one spot and then like the

1328
00:59:54,840 --> 00:59:56,880
Speaker 4: local interview was on the other. Because it looked like

1329
00:59:56,880 --> 00:59:58,960
Speaker 4: the background guys are like switching.

1330
00:59:58,800 --> 00:59:59,920
Speaker 3: Yeah a lot.

1331
01:00:00,120 --> 01:00:02,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, Primary, Yeah, so like you just agree with what

1332
01:00:02,360 --> 01:00:06,160
Speaker 4: everybody was saying. They're thrown off by an extra interview.

1333
01:00:06,200 --> 01:00:10,320
Speaker 2: So there it is, all eight games. You can overreact.

1334
01:00:10,360 --> 01:00:12,440
Speaker 2: After one, you can say, look, all these teams are

1335
01:00:12,440 --> 01:00:14,400
Speaker 2: gonna bounce back. We're gonna have some good series. We've

1336
01:00:14,400 --> 01:00:16,560
Speaker 2: got three more games tonight, like look like you know

1337
01:00:16,800 --> 01:00:19,720
Speaker 2: it's already forgotten. We'll get into the games too for

1338
01:00:20,000 --> 01:00:22,480
Speaker 2: game Two's for three of these games tonight got some

1339
01:00:22,520 --> 01:00:24,960
Speaker 2: overlap here for the first time too, tonight little lappers,

1340
01:00:24,920 --> 01:00:26,400
Speaker 2: and we had like a seven and a seven thirty

1341
01:00:26,400 --> 01:00:28,400
Speaker 2: I think. But before all that, before we look at

1342
01:00:28,400 --> 01:00:30,320
Speaker 2: the schedule and all that, let's get to tweet.

1343
01:00:30,080 --> 01:00:33,480
Speaker 3: The night tweed overnight.

1344
01:00:34,240 --> 01:00:38,360
Speaker 2: Wow Twitt, well TK, you slipped it in there. Yo

1345
01:00:38,480 --> 01:00:41,760
Speaker 2: Kich showing up like a cartoon character for his Game

1346
01:00:41,840 --> 01:00:46,320
Speaker 2: one against the Lakers, and Katie Wenjy of the Nuggets,

1347
01:00:46,400 --> 01:00:48,560
Speaker 2: she tweeted, just when you thought it was impossible to

1348
01:00:48,720 --> 01:00:52,600
Speaker 2: like Yokich anymore, he shows up in this despicable me

1349
01:00:52,880 --> 01:00:54,360
Speaker 2: for trailer. Let's watch it.

1350
01:00:55,280 --> 01:00:57,440
Speaker 3: I look really good that they had put on this

1351
01:00:57,560 --> 01:01:00,960
Speaker 3: beautiful suit. They said, I mean business like the one

1352
01:01:00,960 --> 01:01:04,960
Speaker 3: you're wearing. Yes, then what happened? They say? I looked

1353
01:01:05,040 --> 01:01:08,880
Speaker 3: like grow? Why does that bother you? He doesn't?

1354
01:01:09,600 --> 01:01:10,640
Speaker 5: Then why bring it up?

1355
01:01:10,760 --> 01:01:12,160
Speaker 3: Because they won't leave me alone?

1356
01:01:12,720 --> 01:01:22,360
Speaker 1: They guys I'm not your boss, the Illuminations, Despicable Me.

1357
01:01:22,440 --> 01:01:25,280
Speaker 2: For Oh wow, hear that music at the end. It

1358
01:01:25,320 --> 01:01:26,000
Speaker 2: sounds familiar.

1359
01:01:26,320 --> 01:01:26,600
Speaker 4: Uh.

1360
01:01:26,640 --> 01:01:30,240
Speaker 2: So that was a very fun trailer commercial for Despicable

1361
01:01:30,400 --> 01:01:33,200
Speaker 2: for uh, Despicable Me for not easy to say for

1362
01:01:33,240 --> 01:01:35,520
Speaker 2: some reason. And then he showed up his group, so

1363
01:01:35,560 --> 01:01:37,960
Speaker 2: he really leaned into this. You know, did they pay

1364
01:01:38,000 --> 01:01:38,680
Speaker 2: him extra for this?

1365
01:01:38,760 --> 01:01:39,000
Speaker 4: I don't.

1366
01:01:39,040 --> 01:01:41,760
Speaker 2: I want to know, but he you'll could chair side

1367
01:01:41,760 --> 01:01:44,480
Speaker 2: by side picks of him and grew from Despicable Me

1368
01:01:45,200 --> 01:01:47,920
Speaker 2: got the scarf, he's got the little you know, zipper jacket.

1369
01:01:48,480 --> 01:01:50,400
Speaker 4: I did see he didn't wear the scarf for the

1370
01:01:50,400 --> 01:01:51,160
Speaker 4: postgame interview.

1371
01:01:51,320 --> 01:01:53,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, So I think this was, you know, a

1372
01:01:53,920 --> 01:01:59,600
Speaker 2: sponsored look and very very funny and so off of that,

1373
01:01:59,680 --> 01:02:02,360
Speaker 2: the fine tweet here just about the game, Henry the

1374
01:02:02,360 --> 01:02:04,480
Speaker 2: Blazon tweeting, and this went basically viral.

1375
01:02:04,920 --> 01:02:05,320
Speaker 3: Uh.

1376
01:02:05,400 --> 01:02:09,280
Speaker 2: The old photo or pick of Lebron, current Lebron right

1377
01:02:09,320 --> 01:02:12,800
Speaker 2: talking to young Lebron back when he was in high school.

1378
01:02:13,520 --> 01:02:17,160

1408
01:03:53,160 --> 01:03:54,000

Speaker 3: believe that. I guess believe it.

1411
01:04:01,560 --> 01:04:03,800
Speaker 2: You won't believe who does the minions?

1412
01:04:03,520 --> 01:04:08,919
Speaker 3: Who? You're wrong, Jack Nicholson. The Millions are great because

1413
01:04:08,960 --> 01:04:12,320
Speaker 3: they collaborate a lot of languages. They speak so many languages.

1414
01:04:12,800 --> 01:04:13,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, they do.

1415
01:04:14,560 --> 01:04:15,440
Speaker 2: They speak English.

1416
01:04:16,200 --> 01:04:19,680
Speaker 4: It's like like a vibrate of English, Portuguese and something

1417
01:04:19,680 --> 01:04:20,960
Speaker 4: else that's Spanish.

1418
01:04:21,040 --> 01:04:23,160
Speaker 3: It's got French. I thought it was Spanish French.

1419
01:04:24,320 --> 01:04:25,840
Speaker 4: I think the guy who does the voice is like

1420
01:04:25,880 --> 01:04:26,400
Speaker 4: the director.

1421
01:04:26,800 --> 01:04:29,000
