Speaker 2: One is named spot for sure.

32
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 1: There's like a Pippy or something coppy. I don't know.

33
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 1: Probably both looks really good on camera. From my angle

34
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:44,759

Speaker 1: all that stuff. We'll maybe get into the Kings and

47
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 1: Monty McNair their GM parting ways. I love parting Ways,

48
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 1: Mutual Decision. Yeah, I just love the concept that come together,

49
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 1: and then he goes one way, and then that goes

50
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:37,920
Speaker 1: the other way, and I see you later, buddy. But

51
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 1: first we gotta start with the games last night. Those

52
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 1: two playing games Bangers the Heat Mavericks keep their playoff

53
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:47,080
Speaker 1: hopes alive. Yeah, not the greatest games we ever saw.

54
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,639
Speaker 1: But Tyler Herro on fire. He scored thirty eight as

55
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 1: the Heat dominated Trey Kirby's at Chicago Bolls one nine ninety.

56
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,080
Speaker 1: So the Heat advance in the playing tournament. They'll play

57
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,519
Speaker 1: in Atlanta here on Friday night against the Hawks to

58
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 1: try and get at eat seed. But I was wrong

59
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:07,919
Speaker 1: with this one being a close playing game because it wasn't.

60
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 1: But it was. I was arguably closer than the other

61
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 1: one last night. But what'd you think here, a TK,

62
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:14,919
Speaker 1: what do you want to start the Heat the positives

63
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 1: from the Heat, or you know, sort of the disappointing

64
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 1: performance from your.

65
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 2: Bullsh I thought it was just cool to get to

66
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 2: watch the same game twice. Back to that. How exciting

67
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 2: was that Bulls had zero urgency in the first half.

68
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 2: The Heat came in, locked in, shut down the transition

69
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,799
Speaker 2: attack for Chicago, and the Bulls had zero answers from

70
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 2: that point forward, at least in the third quarter. They

71
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 2: looked a little bit more like the Bulls from the

72
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 2: last twenty games of the season, which is going to

73
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 2: get completely overplayed by their front office. But they couldn'thit

74
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 2: any momentum. Three pointers was the problem. Down fifteen two

75
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 2: minutes left in the third quarter, Kobe White had an

76
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 2: open transition, looked from three, bricked it down thirteen ten

77
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 2: minutes left in the fourth quarter. Kobe had another miss again.

78
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 2: On the night, the bull shot ten of thirty seven

79
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 2: from three. It's their ninth time this season making ten

80
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 2: or few er three pointers. They're one in eight. They

81
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 2: got to make threes to win. They couldn't make threes

82
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 2: last night. They scored ninety points, it's their fewest all season,

83
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 2: and the heat looked great. Tyler Hero was unstoppable, going

84
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 2: right at Josh Getty. He didn't miss to start the game.

85
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 2: I think he went eight for eight his first few shots.

86
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 2: I think he went eight for eight as well on

87
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 2: floaters and layups last night, plus hitting threes. Finished with

88
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 2: thirty eight points. He looked awesome. Basically, the Bulls came

89
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 2: in and proved everybody right who didn't believe that March

90
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 2: in April was a real thing happening with them. Their

91
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 2: flaws were completely exposed. Giddy looked terrible and like, in

92
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 2: the long term, if the Bulls learned from this good

93
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,719
Speaker 2: stuff and if they somehow hit the lottery on Cooper

94
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 2: Flag all except Dylan Harper, son of Ron Harper as well,

95
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 2: either of those two guys come. I'm happy with this

96
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 2: play and loss, but I think the heat looked awesome.

97
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 2: They cared to play in this game, and they smoked Chicago.

98
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 3: Dylan Harper showed up. Yeah, the heat cared right from

99
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 3: the get go. But the fact that the Bulls didn't

100
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:57,279
Speaker 3: got Tyler Hero going because he hit three layups to

101
00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 3: start this game. I mean, so the three point shots

102
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,479
Speaker 3: start it flowing because he felt so good. And the

103
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 3: fact that you can just see the rim that closely.

104
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 3: Then the mean step backs that he started hitting for

105
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 3: the for his first two threes just show that the

106
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 3: Bulls were not ready allowing the heat. Point in the

107
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 3: paint after point in the paint. They just got bucket

108
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 3: after bucket after bucket. I mean, the Bulls are the

109
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 3: worst team in the NBA allowing points in the paint,

110
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:27,039
Speaker 3: so that was to be expected as somewhat, but you

111
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,719
Speaker 3: expected the United Center to be alive to some degree.

112
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 3: I did a little bit, But how could they be

113
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 3: alive when they're allowing a guy to walk in like that?

114
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 3: And yeah that he just showed that they had some

115
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 3: some life. Andrew Wiggins had a life. Everybody had life

116
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 3: on that team, while the Bulls did not.

117
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Bulls defenders were reminding me of like a

118
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:46,600
Speaker 1: maitre d at a restaurant, like just this way right,

119
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:48,839
Speaker 1: this way, sir, this way, sir, right this way. I

120
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 1: love it. It was a joke.

121
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,280
Speaker 2: Tony Kukach was the waiter back in the day, so

122
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:54,359
Speaker 2: I would be happy if you started calling Josh Giddy

123
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:54,840
Speaker 2: the matre d.

124
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 1: It was this guy just shows.

125
00:05:57,839 --> 00:05:58,159
Speaker 2: Yeah.

126
00:05:58,200 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 1: They were like, you can go and watch it, especially

127
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:01,720
Speaker 1: in the first half. It blew my mind. I think

128
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 1: they said they had seventeen field goals in the paint

129
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 1: in the first half. The Heat did and in watching

130
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 1: it, it was like, oh, yeah, that probably checks out. But

131
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 1: it was like so many times there were somehow more

132
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:18,839
Speaker 1: Heat players in the paint than Bulls players at layups.

133
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 1: These are half court sets too. This is not fast.

134
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 1: You know what transition points it was because it's mind

135
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 1: blowing how many more heat players were in the paint

136
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 1: than the defenders. For the Bulls. You think it'd be

137
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,599
Speaker 1: the flipped around, but yeah, yeah, it was just a

138
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:34,160
Speaker 1: layup line and then that Gotto hero going with the

139
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 1: three pointer two because it was either everything inside when

140
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:38,719
Speaker 1: those little floater or layups, or then the three pointer

141
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:40,279
Speaker 1: up top. He had that one bomb and you knew

142
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:41,919
Speaker 1: he was feeling it. He was barking at somebody in

143
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:43,799
Speaker 1: the front row or in the first couple of rows.

144
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 1: Great game. He was by far the best player on

145
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 1: the floor.

146
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 3: Wasn't even close, not a question. Yeah, both of his

147
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:51,159
Speaker 3: first threes were bomps. They were mean step backs again

148
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 3: after getting into the bane, just laying it up. Yeah,

149
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 3: Josh giddy as a matri d. It's it's a good one.

150
00:06:56,839 --> 00:07:00,120
Speaker 3: Do matre ds fall at times like it is the Hey,

151
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 3: it's you're on your way? Because I find Josh Giddy

152
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 3: when he's going to close out, his footwork just looks

153
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:06,840
Speaker 3: like he's he looks like he's ready to fall down.

154
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 3: I mean, he just kind of isn't cohesive.

155
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 1: It just like, yeah, defense really bad.

156
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 3: Oh you gotta do is get you but that's a

157
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 3: big What was super frustrating.

158
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 1: I can't only imagine for you as a Bulls fan,

159
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 1: even to me, just like wanting a competitive game again,

160
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 1: I was the idiot thinking this one maybe would be closed.

161
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 1: I thought in the second half, especially in the third quarter,

162
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 1: the Heat were trying to give the Bulls life. They

163
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 1: went on a long stretch where they were struggling. The

164
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 1: Bulls started to play a little stronger defensively, like nothing

165
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 1: was as easy as it was in the first half.

166
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 1: Like that was nice to see, but the Bulls like

167
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 1: they just like missed opportunities. Kobe White missed a bunny

168
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 1: inside giddy like sort of forced one in transition at

169
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 1: the rim, but he probably should have finished it. A

170
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 1: couple threes that Kobe White got good looks at on

171
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 1: the wing, they didn't fall, and it was like, oh

172
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 1: my god, they are trying to do what Miami Heat

173
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 1: has done all year, and that is like give up

174
00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 1: a lead and you can't take advantage. I think it

175
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 1: got to thirteen in the fourth quarter, and then Davion

176
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 1: Mitchell played really well. I think he blocked Kobe White

177
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 1: and then he hit a floater, and then Hero hit

178
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 1: a floater, and it was sort of like back to

179
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 1: seventeen and there was like no chance, but it was

180
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 1: like I thought that he were trying to give them

181
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 1: a chance at least, and.

182
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 2: The broadcast was doing a good job of trying to

183
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 2: make it seem like the Bulls could really pull off

184
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 2: this comeback. Richard Jefferson, the Bulls have like a baseline

185
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 2: out of bounds on their side, and he's saying on

186
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 2: the broadcast, the Bulls are third and third quarter points,

187
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 2: fourth and fourth quarter points, and they're making me look

188
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 2: terrible because as he's talking, they throw an inbound pass

189
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:34,960
Speaker 2: that looks like an outlet pass for Bam out of Bayo.

190
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 1: Was that Dayling Terry? Yeah, that was insane. I sucks too.

191
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:42,319
Speaker 2: Worst player in the NBA if you ask me the past.

192
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it looked like a deep ball of bandah cool,

193
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:50,199
Speaker 1: very cool.

194
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:52,960
Speaker 3: Yeah. Nobody on the Bulls bench really showed up. Taylon

195
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 3: hard Tucker, he was okay.

196
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 1: I started I started dying laughing when Taylor Horton Tucker

197
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 1: checked in and then suddenly was like the second best

198
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 1: Bulls player.

199
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:03,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know.

200
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 1: He had a couple of garbage points like sixteen minutes

201
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 1: shot himself. It was literally one of the better players

202
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 1: last night.

203
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:11,080
Speaker 3: You needed him, Oh my god.

204
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:13,319
Speaker 1: But like the heat, like hero gets all the headlines.

205
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 1: But your good point about Andrew Andrew Wiggins twenty points

206
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 1: nine boards, some great defensive plays too. Davion Mitchell already

207
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:22,080
Speaker 1: said fifteen and nine off the bench. That was when

208
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:23,680
Speaker 1: we called. Remember when he made his way to Miami,

209
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 1: We're like, man, that guy's the perfect Spolster guy. He's

210
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:28,560
Speaker 1: going to be like a key player for them. And

211
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,080
Speaker 1: then Bam had fifteen and twelve as well, Like they

212
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 1: got contributions from Ember. But he wasn't just the hero show.

213
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, Eric Spolscher was ready as a coach. You could

214
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 3: see his face. He was all business, not one smile

215
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:42,720
Speaker 3: in those forty eight minutes. From what I saw either,

216
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 3: I mean Davion Mitchell is and Eric Spolstra he really

217
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 3: did came come out and play really hard in this one. Yeah,

218
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 3: the Wiggins blocks, I will say this about mates. Buzzelli's

219
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 3: a couple of nice plays.

220
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah, back to back great buckets.

221
00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 1: They were the biggest biggest poff of the night while

222
00:09:59,080 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 1: that crowd.

223
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 2: Then he made two backwards half court shots as well,

224
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:03,959
Speaker 2: back to back. One blindfolded.

225
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 1: Okay, that's oppressive, like the four biggest Wait wait wait

226
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 1: wait one blindfolded? Isn't he always blindfolded as a mascot.

227
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 1: They put the blindfold around his mask so you can

228
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 1: see exactly.

229
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:25,560
Speaker 3: I mean that is where they do see through those eyes,

230
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 3: even though you know he is able to. It depends.

231
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:32,439
Speaker 3: I saw an Easter bunny yesterday.

232
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 1: I totally.

233
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 3: Three days away from now. The funny thing is the

234
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:43,559
Speaker 3: Easter buddies are making their ways to parks and stuff

235
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 3: to have these events. Come see the Easter Buddy. You

236
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:49,599
Speaker 3: know what the event is. You say hi to the

00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 3: Easter Buddy and you leave. That's it. No toys, No not,

238
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 3: actually they get they give toys.

239
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 1: This is so funny because I swear we're You're having

240
00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 1: a conversation with your wife yesterday. Like it's sounded like

241
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 1: she was like, should we go to this thing like this?

242
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 1: There're gonna be anything happening again? You were like trying to

243
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 1: sell it. I thought like, yeah, yeah, there'll be games

244
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:08,200
Speaker 1: for the kids and who knows what else.

245
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:11,200
Speaker 3: I assume something, but it wasn't. Now it's at a park,

246
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 3: you can go play otherwise, But yeah, it was just

247
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 3: an Easter buddy. They did have They had eggs, and

248
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:19,840
Speaker 3: you'd think that there would be a chocolate those opening

249
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 3: those eggs that are you know, those plastic ones, that

250
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 3: there would be a chocolate, but there were just stickers

251
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 3: in it. Yeah, they're just they're worried about allergies. Come.

252
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 1: So you're saying you went to a park yesterday and

253
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:33,320
Speaker 1: it was just somebody dressed as the Easter Buddy and

254
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:34,079
Speaker 1: that was sort of it.

255
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:36,959
Speaker 3: Yeah, all I could do. The thing, the thing that

256
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:38,840
Speaker 3: my daughter could get out of it was me breaking

257
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 3: down the Eastern egg costume or the rabbits costume. I said,

258
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:44,720
Speaker 3: you could see through those eyes.

259
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:49,320
Speaker 1: That's cool, stripping away to the magic. Yeah, child and.

260
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 3: The people and the person who was wearing it kind

261
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 3: of had long hair. I assumed it was female. I said, well,

262
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:59,079
Speaker 3: maybe you can be. I didn't say that. Yeah, anyways,

263
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:02,080
Speaker 3: that was weird. Macho's buzzellis Yeah, he big boy to

264
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 3: Alec Burks. That was awesome. For the dunk, that was

265
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 3: really nice, and then the drive on Hero euro Step.

266
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:11,559
Speaker 3: Right at here, he looks bigger and stronger than he

267
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:13,720
Speaker 3: did at the beginning of the season. I mean, he

268
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 3: is into what he can do out there, and that's

269
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:19,319
Speaker 3: why the broadcasters kept saying six to ten huge. I mean,

270
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 3: he is bigger, stronger, and that's bodes well for a

271
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:25,120
Speaker 3: year or two. But that just stunk. The fact that

272
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:29,080
Speaker 3: Miami won the bench points twenty eight thirteen, that that's

273
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 3: just sad. Yeah, I mean, that's really the.

274
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 1: Best thing for Bulls fans last night was the second game,

275
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 1: was the Sacramento Kings looking even worse, having a bunch

276
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 1: of older and expensive Bulls players on their roster. And

277
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 1: at least you could go, at least we're not the

278
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 1: Kings we used to be. Yeah, but at least we're

279
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 1: out there and we have some young talent. I mean,

280
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 1: we're probably gonna overpay Giddy. Yeah. At least we have

281
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 1: Kobe White here for one more year. At least we'll

282
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 1: figure out that, you know, unless they trade him. And

283
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:55,680
Speaker 1: then we got Buzzellis and we got, you know, in

284
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 1: theory a pick maybe as well.

285
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:01,840
Speaker 3: You said Dale and Terror very terrible. What about Pat Williams,

286
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:04,839
Speaker 3: I mean they're both Yeah. Well, I don't want to

287
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:05,439
Speaker 3: rank at them.

288
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 1: I guess Terry had a better game.

289
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:11,359
Speaker 2: He scored, Yeah, he scored two points outscored Patrick Williams.

290
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 2: Oh for that's all right. He's only got another four

291
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 2: years on his contract.

292
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was signed the last offseason. I thought he

293
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:20,320
Speaker 3: couldn't even catch those passes to him, Like he didn't

294
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:22,320
Speaker 3: really want to jump and catch that pass from Vooch

295
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:25,560
Speaker 3: that went into the front row. Anyway, Oh yeah, like

296
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:26,360
Speaker 3: why why what?

297
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 1: Why bother? I'm just gonna miss the shot. Uh? Did

298
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 1: you okay? In all honesty, I don't mean to pile

299
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 1: on you as both small part, A small part of

300
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 1: me last night, A small part of me last night

301
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 1: was like, thank god the Raptors didn't make the play in.

302
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 1: I was like, I would prefer them not to even

303
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 1: be in this ship show and put up that pathetic

304
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 1: sort of performance.

305
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 3: They wouldn't be that, they wouldn't be that pathetic.

306
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:53,320
Speaker 1: Well they're not even there, that's the pathetic part. But

307
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 1: I was happy with it.

308
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:56,439
Speaker 3: Higher payroll as well, and I hear you.

309
00:13:56,880 --> 00:14:00,439
Speaker 1: Anyway, one moment from this game, Uh that would just

310
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 1: want to like make note of it was nice that Breen,

311
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 1: Burke and r J paid tribute to Cassidy Hubbirth and

312
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:09,199
Speaker 1: her last game on the ESPN call. She's going to

313
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 1: be moving to Amazon. I thought it was funny because

314
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 1: the game was such a blowout that they just went

315
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 1: to Cassidy hubbirth, like in a split screen. Yeah, and

316
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 1: they stayed there for like for like five minutes. I'm

317
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 1: probably exaggerating and like she's just holding the mic thinking

318
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 1: she's going to get the talk, but they just kept

319
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 1: taking turns saying very nice things about her. Felt so

320
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 1: sweet moment, but it was funny.

321
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 2: Felt like when a team has like a franchise legend

322
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 2: on and they're like, who cares, we'll talk to him

323
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 2: for fifteen minutes. There's eighty two regular season games. They

324
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 2: just kept going, we're here on broadcast next year.

325
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 3: Yes, she'm tired.

326
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they're going to see her all the time. Yeah,

327
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 1: she was hug I was a blown away that she's

328
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 1: been with ESPN fifteen years. Yeah, I was like what

329
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 1: God man, Yes, I feel old immediately. Yeah, anytime we

330
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:54,760
Speaker 1: hear stuff like that.

331
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 3: But yeah, we will see her next year. It's just

332
00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 3: like saying goodbye to the TNT crew over and over again.

333
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 3: We'll see him again.

334
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 1: I'll see him again.

335
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 3: They'll be at ESPN, but we'll see him again next year.

336
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 1: Anything else from this riveting Bulls heat game.

337
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 2: Nothing I was I was honestly happy to see Giddy

338
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 2: have a very bad game in a high leverage spot.

339
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 2: Twenty five points. That looks nice, but he took twenty

340
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 2: one shots and he must have given up fifty points

341
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 2: on the defensive end. Coming in to the summer where

342
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 2: he's a restricted free agent, there aren't a lot of

343
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 2: teams with cap space. The Bulls have to force him

344
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 2: to go into restrictive free agency. There's no reason to

345
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 2: overpay him before making another team make him an offer

346
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 2: because outside of Brooklyn, the only no team could currently

347
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 2: sign him to an offer sheet with the first year

348
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 2: salary of more than thirty million dollars. So if the

349
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 2: Nets want them, they can make an offer and the

350
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 2: Bulls couldn't match it. Otherwise he's getting a thirty million

351
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 2: dollar offer. Starting point guards make like thirty eight to

352
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 2: forty million dollars. They could get a discount on Giddy,

353
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 2: who's like a decent player, Like he's not the worst

354
00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 2: player in the league. He's not Daleen Terry, you know,

355
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 2: he's not Patrick Williams. Yeah, they got those two guys

356
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 2: as well, So I'm interested to see what they do

357
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 2: for him. But I think it is a little bit,

358
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 2: I don't know, encouraging that he got exposed in a

359
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 2: major spot here.

360
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 3: That's a good point about restricted free agency. Quite often

361
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 3: we just see the team that owns the player just

362
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 3: give them a monstrous contract. But now under the new CBA,

363
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 3: not everybody can pay every single player. So I think, yeah,

364
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 3: you use that as leverage and you say, all right,

365
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 3: let's see what you can do because there are just

366
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 3: situations here under the new CBA where you just don't

367
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 3: want to pay everybody. I think that we're seeing it.

368
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 3: We're sitting it with the Phoenix Suns, so you could

369
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 3: get for a little cheaper, and maybe that's a little

370
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 3: bit interesting. There's a there's an easter egg. Hopefully we

371
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 3: see on July first through July eighth or whatever it is,

372
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 3: we'll see some teams offer and then the other team match.

373
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:52,200
Speaker 3: Maybe that's something that we can look to forward to

374
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 3: in free agency, because yeah, sometimes the restricted free agency

375
00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 3: ain't all that exciting at times.

376
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to the Mavericks thumping the Kings.

377
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:05,639
Speaker 1: They remained in a hunt for the West number eight seed,

378
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 1: and this was I guess the big takeaway from this

379
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 1: one was Klay Thompson getting a little revenge Clay in

380
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 1: game what he did last year when he missed all

381
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 1: ten of his shots his last game as the Warriors.

382
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:17,879
Speaker 1: It was in Sacramento. It was bad, It was obviously

383
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:20,200
Speaker 1: in a play and loss, but he popped off there

384
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 1: in the second quarter. Sixteen of his twenty three came

385
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 1: in that quarter, hit four threes, and in doing so

386
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 1: help the MAVs cruise to the one twenty one oh

387
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 1: six victory. This one wasn't even as close as that

388
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:31,880
Speaker 1: final score and felt like more of a blowout than

389
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 1: the incredibly than the heat Bulls game in terms of

390
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 1: being competitive. But any takeaways from this.

391
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 3: One, well, to see the MAVs guards perform like that

392
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 3: after obviously what we've gone through with Luca and Kyrie

393
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 3: going down, will they be able to get anything from

394
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 3: their guards? You see Clay monstrous Clay, you know, the

395
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:51,679
Speaker 3: dribble handouts, just passing it, give it back to me,

396
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:55,400
Speaker 3: just catching that sort of the heater that he got

397
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:57,240
Speaker 3: there in the first half and then keeping it going

398
00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 3: in the second half where he got bumped and faded

399
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 3: away there underneath. I mean that looked like classic Clay

400
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:05,879
Speaker 3: for for a second, so awesome for him when they

401
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:08,119
Speaker 3: took over in the second quarter. But Brandon Williams I

402
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:10,640
Speaker 3: thought was really important for them off the bench when

403
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 3: they made that run in the second quarter they outscored

404
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 3: the King's forty four to nineteen. Brandon Williams, this guy

405
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:18,240
Speaker 3: who was on a two way contract a mere week

406
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:22,200
Speaker 3: ago before Nico Harrison who can spot some talent said hey,

407
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:25,639
Speaker 3: you stick with us, and he was key in this

408
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 3: game in both hats. Seventeen points for him off the bench.

409
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 3: So to get guard performances like that again Clay and him,

410
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 3: that I think was the difference. I know Anthony Davis

411
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 3: has the biggest line, and people talking about Anthony Davis

412
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:42,200
Speaker 3: sure against Domos really really outdoing Domos. If we want

413
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:44,359
Speaker 3: to be disappointed about one team, I think Domos is

414
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:47,159
Speaker 3: the guy to speak about in this situation. But the

415
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 3: Maps had depth yesterday. They truly did. That's all I

416
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 3: want to say. I'm gonna I'm not gonna pat Nico

417
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 3: Harrison on the back quite yet.

418
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 1: Well, people are joking he's gonna trade Brandon Williams for

419
00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:01,680
Speaker 1: like Alex Lennon, that it's coming in for Dylan Terry

420
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:03,439
Speaker 1: for all we know. I get them.

421
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:03,920
Speaker 2: Yeah.

422
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:07,879
Speaker 3: I read the quote yesterday that when they got Clay,

423
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:11,920
Speaker 3: Nico Harrison said, we're merely a Clay Thompson away from

424
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 3: a championship.

425
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:16,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean just to play away. Yeah. They were

426
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 1: in the finals.

427
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:20,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, but then they traded the you know, they traded

428
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:22,400
Speaker 3: those guys. Yeah, got in to the finals.

429
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:23,119
Speaker 1: And they had been true at the time.

430
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:26,120
Speaker 3: Guess I guess anyway, tough one.

431
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, what'd you think of the Maps one twenty one

432
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:28,320
Speaker 1: oh six win?

433
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:31,320
Speaker 2: The Clay explosion was pretty sweet to see. He said

434
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 2: afterwards that he'd been hearing all summer about the over

435
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:36,240
Speaker 2: ten in his last game with the Warriors. Must be

436
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:39,000
Speaker 2: specific to him because I completely forgotten about it. But

437
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:42,160
Speaker 2: nice response from him, and that is what the Mavericks

438
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:45,320
Speaker 2: were looking for when they acquired Clay Thompson in the summer.

439
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:47,960
Speaker 2: Were Clay away. A four to three pointer quarter is

440
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 2: exactly the sort of thing you want from a guy

441
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:51,640
Speaker 2: who gets hot. But the Mavericks were basically playing without

442
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:54,199
Speaker 2: a point guard until Brandon Williams would check in, and

443
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:56,600
Speaker 2: Anthony Davis was kind of their points center. He was

444
00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:59,399
Speaker 2: awesome in this game, completely dominant every time he was

445
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 2: out there, and I just thought the MAVs looked humongous

446
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:05,720
Speaker 2: playing without any Smalls out there. Basically, I was kind

447
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:07,880
Speaker 2: of concerned going into this game that the Kings would

448
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:10,639
Speaker 2: just be able to run and guns outshoot him, playing

449
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 2: such a big lineup. But it went the complete opposite way,

450
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 2: and the Kings just bowlsed it. Yeah, completely bowlsd it.

451
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:17,119
Speaker 2: They didn't give anything in the first time.

452
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 1: No, and that second quarter it was fascinating to watch

453
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:22,639
Speaker 1: a team come up with new ways to end a

454
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:25,600
Speaker 1: possession without a shot attempt. It was like, wow, that's

455
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 1: a new one. Ten out of eighteen of their turnovers

456
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:30,199
Speaker 1: came in the second quarter for the Kings, while the MAVs,

457
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:32,240
Speaker 1: especially Clay caught fire. It was a forty four to

458
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:34,920
Speaker 1: nineteen quarter. It basically put the game to bed at

459
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 1: halftime because you saw no fight from the Sacramento Kings

460
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:41,160
Speaker 1: in those guys. But yeah, Brandon Williams former College Park

461
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:45,400
Speaker 1: Skyhawks card bucket, that's where we see the tiny guy.

462
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 1: But you know, obviously you can score and the seventeen

463
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:49,920
Speaker 1: and five great, you're right, like the mass have done

464
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:51,399
Speaker 1: this for the last little stretch here was just like

465
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 1: a crazy starting lineup of Anthony Davis, Lively, PJ Washington

466
00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:59,480
Speaker 1: and then Naji Marshall and Klay Thompson. Like there's not

467
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:02,639
Speaker 1: a point in the mix there, and I think it's

468
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 1: always funny. That's like their coaches like a Hall of

469
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 1: Fame point guard. But ye, you know, no, Dinwiddie he

470
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 1: played like two minutes. I know, I know he was injured,

471
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 1: and I don't know how much that came into effect,

472
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:13,679
Speaker 1: but yeah, getting some at least point guard play from

473
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:16,200
Speaker 1: Brandon Williams is a huge boost and they're gonna maybe

474
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:17,600
Speaker 1: need that again if they're gonna try and get by

475
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:18,719
Speaker 1: Memphis there on front of night.

476
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, the size will be what helps them against the

477
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:26,120
Speaker 3: Memphis Grizzlies. I do think the bench was monstrous for them,

478
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:28,439
Speaker 3: as twenty six to three over the Kings bench. In

479
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:31,440
Speaker 3: this one, the King's only getting three points. Milik Monk's

480
00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 3: injury playing a part in that because they just have

481
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:38,199
Speaker 3: to outscore teams, and you know, without Malik Monk that

482
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:41,359
Speaker 3: was a problem in this one. I will say, you

483
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:43,639
Speaker 3: said we saw Brandon Wims with the G League team,

484
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 3: something that happens when we do G League broadcasts. They

485
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:49,639
Speaker 3: don't do interviews for guys if the team is losing, right,

486
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:51,919
Speaker 3: if the team is getting bombed at halftime. That's what

487
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:54,160
Speaker 3: I felt watching Zach Lavine do the end of third

488
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:58,720
Speaker 3: quarter interview with Cassidy Huberth. Oh no, no, it wasn't with Casside.

489
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 3: Excuse me, George. It was George. They're interviewing him, and

490
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 3: he just looked, he look, I don't want to be here.

491
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 3: I'm surprised that they allowed that interview.

492
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:09,480
Speaker 1: Flights were booked.

493
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 2: Baby, that's a that's a tough interview to have to

494
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 2: do the third quarter middle of a blowout.

495
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:17,960
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, I'm surprised the King's allowed that.

496
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 1: Got it's rules contractually obligated.

497
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:23,440
Speaker 3: Well, they could definitely say no, it's happened before.

498
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 1: Assume. Yeah, out there, Doug McDermott, hey, will you be

499
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:33,919
Speaker 1: back in playing exactly pathetic performance from the Kings. Do

500
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:36,400
Speaker 1: you think the heater MAVs can make history here one

501
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:38,439
Speaker 1: of these teams, if not both of them, being a

502
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 1: tend seed to win two road playing games and get

503
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:44,120
Speaker 1: that final eight seed. We've never had it done. Whose

504
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 1: chances do you like more? Do you like both to

505
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 1: even do it?

506
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:49,520
Speaker 2: I think I like the Heat's chances more than I

507
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:52,400
Speaker 2: like the Mavericks. Though the Mavericks played well like I'm

508
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 2: more excited for MAVs versus Grizzlies. Both teams I thought

509
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:56,960
Speaker 2: played good. Like the Grizzlies getting back into the game

510
00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 2: against the Warriors was awesome. They played to their strength.

511
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:01,639
Speaker 2: The Mavericks play to their strengths. That should be a

512
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:03,919
Speaker 2: pretty good game, especially because there's gonna be a lot

513
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 2: of big boys out there on both sides, so that

514
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 2: should be cool to watch. But I thought the Heat

515
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:10,159
Speaker 2: were much more impressive beating the Bulls than the Hawks

516
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 2: were against the Magic. Obviously, it comes at a loss,

517
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:16,400
Speaker 2: so the team that won does look better, but Miami

518
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:18,520
Speaker 2: looked like a team that knew how to play in

519
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:19,640
Speaker 2: a playoff basketball game.

520
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:24,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, the MAVs have agile bigs, right, You're going to

521
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 3: see them against the Memphis Grizzlies, who have a ton

522
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:30,719
Speaker 3: of themselves. With Zach Eadie, but these guys, including Naji Marshall,

523
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:32,600
Speaker 3: I'll throw him in the big category because that's what

524
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 3: he is, to go along with PJ Washington, who was awesome.

525
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 3: We had to mention him, but he was really good

526
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 3: in this game along with Anthony Davis and Derek Lively. Yeah,

527
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:41,479
Speaker 3: they should be great. The Miami Heat. They have that,

528
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:46,560
Speaker 3: they have the Eric Spolsira key Man, they are ready

529
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:49,399
Speaker 3: to fight, and so yeah, I feel like the Heat

530
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:52,119
Speaker 3: have they got the rhythm going into that game against

531
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:54,919
Speaker 3: Atlanta Hawks. They got the FEELIX shouldn't call it the rhythm,

532
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 3: but they've got the momentum.

533
00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:59,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I'm with you. I buy all what you

534
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:01,600
Speaker 1: guys are saying. It's like there are reason these teams

535
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:03,120
Speaker 1: are in the play in though, right it's like they're

536
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 1: so inconsistent. You sometimes just don't know what Heat team

537
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:09,040
Speaker 1: you're gonna get, or maybe even MAVs team now after

538
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:10,840
Speaker 1: all of what they've gone through this year. So it's

539
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 1: like it's obviously tough to sort of predict some of

540
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:14,640
Speaker 1: these games. You know, you know one and done. It's

541
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:16,959
Speaker 1: like you can't hit a three if you're the Chicago Bulls,

542
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:19,360
Speaker 1: or you know, you have no fight and you're just

543
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:22,080
Speaker 1: giving up a layup after layup, like no pressure. Let's

544
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:24,680
Speaker 1: talk about someone it's really quick because he's obviously got

545
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:27,119
Speaker 1: a lot of people point fingers at him after that

546
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 1: performance last night, and this idea of like you can't

547
00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 1: build a really good team around him if he's your

548
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:35,520
Speaker 1: starting center because of defensive reasons. Yeah, he gets your

549
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:38,200
Speaker 1: points and gets your boards. They probably went the wrong

550
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:41,679
Speaker 1: direction in his skill set when they got to Rosen

551
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 1: and Zach Lavine in terms of like him being sort

552
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:47,520
Speaker 1: of a playmaking big. Obviously, it's sort of disappeared after

553
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:49,680
Speaker 1: those guys came. But what do you think, Trey? Do

554
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 1: you buy that that it's gonna be very difficult to

555
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:53,879
Speaker 1: build a winning, winning basketball team around him as your

556
00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:54,240
Speaker 1: main guy.

557
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:56,360
Speaker 2: I think it's been proven at this point. I mean,

558
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 2: he's a definition of an eighty two game player versus

559
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:01,560
Speaker 2: a sixteen game player because he doesn't give you much

560
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:04,879
Speaker 2: on the defensive end, and once the physicality is allowed

561
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:07,159
Speaker 2: on both ends of the ball in the postseason, as

562
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:11,200
Speaker 2: that increases, like his bullyball style kind of loses its luster.

563
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 2: I also think you're what you're saying about the personnel

564
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:17,320
Speaker 2: around him now is completely right. Like he hates playing

565
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:18,960
Speaker 2: with this team right now. It seems like it used

566
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:21,320
Speaker 2: to be all dribble handoffs And I'm kind of the

567
00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:24,040
Speaker 2: focus here, me and Diaron Fox is what it was.

568
00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:25,919
Speaker 2: The Fox and the Ox we were calling for a

569
00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:28,720
Speaker 2: second there, but now it's like, just watch Drozen cook.

570
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 2: How do we get Zach Levine involved? He doesn't like

571
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:32,679
Speaker 2: dribble handoffs. He'd rather play on screen and roll. That's

572
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:35,880
Speaker 2: something Sibonis has had to adjust to. So I think

573
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:39,399
Speaker 2: the King's got a lot of questions to answer this summer,

574
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 2: and I think included in those will be is Sibona's

575
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 2: coming back? Is DeRozan coming back? Because I don't think

576
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:47,200
Speaker 2: either of those guys are a lock for Sacramento next season.

577
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:49,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, well let's talk about that. Because less than an

578
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:52,600
Speaker 1: hour after the disappointing forty win season came to an end,

579
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:56,920
Speaker 1: General manager Monty McNair met with Kings owner Vivik Ranadive

580
00:25:57,119 --> 00:25:59,400
Speaker 1: in a back room of the arena and the two

581
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:04,119
Speaker 1: sides mutually agreed to part ways. So Monty McNair out

582
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:09,480
Speaker 1: tasks where did he go wrong? Are you surprised by

583
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:12,040
Speaker 1: this decision? And do you have any hope in the

584
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:14,680
Speaker 1: Kings to start turning this around and maybe moving one

585
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:17,720
Speaker 1: of those guys. Whoever is the new guy in charge, He's.

586
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:19,800
Speaker 3: Been there for a long time. It's time to change

587
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:23,359
Speaker 3: the top end of that rotation. I think that is

588
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:29,359
Speaker 3: clear they need to just change those parts, and to

589
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:31,119
Speaker 3: do that you go get a new general manager. So

590
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:34,439
Speaker 3: quite often I think they're just trying to get rid

591
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:36,440
Speaker 3: of somebody. But in this instance, I do think it's

592
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:40,879
Speaker 3: time to address what the roster is. Are you just

593
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 3: running out bulls West? I think that is clear it's

594
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:48,560
Speaker 3: not working all that well, so period. I think that's

595
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:52,119
Speaker 3: literally what they have to do. The questions I think

596
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:55,400
Speaker 3: extend further than just Sabonis and de Rosen. I think

597
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:58,240
Speaker 3: the zach Lavine question is a legitimate question as to

598
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 3: if we're just rolling out the same guys. So I

599
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 3: think it depends on what kind of prospect slash young

600
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:06,720
Speaker 3: guy you can get back for your guys. That's what

601
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:08,840
Speaker 3: it comes down to. I think. I think it's more

602
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:12,199
Speaker 3: of a tear down situation. So Watye McNair wasn't going

603
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:14,680
Speaker 3: to do that. You need somebody else?

604
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:15,560
Speaker 1: What do you think?

605
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:20,240
Speaker 2: I don't know what moves they can make. Like, my

606
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:22,439
Speaker 2: biggest fear is that the Bulls are the one who

607
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:28,040
Speaker 2: trade for Zibonus. They've got a Lithuanian GM like it's

608
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:30,280
Speaker 2: going to happen. It feels like it's going to happen

609
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:31,800
Speaker 2: to be that he's going to be a Chicago Bull

610
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:34,480
Speaker 2: But I just don't. I don't know what they're doing here.

611
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:36,639
Speaker 2: They had the Light the Beam season, it was awesome,

612
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:39,199
Speaker 2: forty eight wins. Last year forty six wins. They went

613
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:40,960
Speaker 2: one and one in the play and got bounced. This

614
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:43,639
Speaker 2: year forty wins. Didn't win a play in game, so

615
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:46,199
Speaker 2: they are going the wrong way. The biggest mistake they

616
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:48,280
Speaker 2: made was after the Light the Beam season, they stood

617
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:50,680
Speaker 2: pat They had a bunch of cap space. They used

618
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:54,400
Speaker 2: it to extend Sibonas. I think they maybe they brought

619
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 2: in Sasheva zank Off right was like their big move.

620
00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:58,920
Speaker 2: They should have done anything else because the rest of

621
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:01,480
Speaker 2: the Western Conference got a lot better. Like bringing in

622
00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 2: Kuzma would have been helpful to this team, just to

623
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:07,640
Speaker 2: add some talent. But now they're low on picks. They've

624
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 2: only got a two point four percent chance of keeping

625
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 2: their pick this summer. They need to hire a GM.

626
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:14,639
Speaker 2: They need to hire a coach. Though Doug Christie is

627
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:17,560
Speaker 2: campaigning for the job, Lavin is extension eligible. I don't

628
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:19,240
Speaker 2: think they'll be able to trade him. It was hard

629
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:20,640
Speaker 2: for the Bulls to trade him, and he was having

630
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:23,320
Speaker 2: an awesome season going into the trade deadline, they got

631
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 2: nothing for it. They got Kevin Herder and Zach Collins

632
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:28,280
Speaker 2: on long contracts, got their pick back, and now the

633
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 2: Kings are literally in the same position where they're paying

634
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:32,960
Speaker 2: de Rozan for a long time, they're paying Levine for

635
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:34,639
Speaker 2: a long time, and they got a center who doesn't

636
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:37,760
Speaker 2: really impact winning at the highest levels, and they're missing

637
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 2: their picks. So I don't know. I guess the Bulls

638
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:42,600
Speaker 2: are like the fifth worst team in the league or

639
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:44,560
Speaker 2: something like that. They've got the fifth worst out looking.

640
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:46,560
Speaker 2: The Kings have the sixth worth out look and that

641
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:49,520
Speaker 2: just his flip films. So I don't know. I'm just

642
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 2: I'm a little jealous because apparently the Kings have figured

643
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 2: out you can move on from a GM who doesn't

644
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:55,440
Speaker 2: know what they're doing. It's allowed.

645
00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:59,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, yes, never do that. Yeah, I think that is

646
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:01,160
Speaker 3: a positive thing you can take as a fan. I

647
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:03,080
Speaker 3: know you can't take anything as positive as a fan

648
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:05,200
Speaker 3: for the Sacramento Thangs. Okay, but they just got rid

649
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:07,280
Speaker 3: of de Aaron Fox. We have to mention that.

650
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:08,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, and as they fired their coach.

651
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:11,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, and they haven't well maybe yes, but Darren Fox

652
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:12,880
Speaker 3: was also ready to just move on.

653
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 1: Well, they seem linked though, is my point. By all reporting,

654
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:19,680
Speaker 1: it's like Daron Fox is like if Mike Brown, you know,

655
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:22,240
Speaker 1: is fired and we're going a different direction than I

656
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 1: would like to be moved. It felt like they were linked.

657
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just feel good for the team and that

658
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:30,000
Speaker 3: you trade dearon Fox, you do not develop any sort

659
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:32,320
Speaker 3: of future with your roster. The roster doesn't look better,

660
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:34,800
Speaker 3: the team doesn't look better, and so you make the

661
00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:38,000
Speaker 3: front office pay. So I think that's it's a reasonable

662
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:41,120
Speaker 3: thing to do. It's obviously what we're seeing in New

663
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:45,240
Speaker 3: Orleans with David Griffin moving on. But then you see

664
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 3: something like Phoenix where they're not taking care of their

665
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:51,120
Speaker 3: front office whatsoever, and that's probably because the owner is

666
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:53,000
Speaker 3: essentially the front office in matt Ashpria.

667
00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:56,200
Speaker 1: Well, that's the concern with Sacramento. I was going to

668
00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:57,800
Speaker 1: say the flip side to you guys, saying, well, at

669
00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:00,000
Speaker 1: least they're moving on from their GM and try somebody else,

670
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:03,560
Speaker 1: I guess, But not if the owner in Vivid GRANDADIV

671
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:06,480
Speaker 1: is the one calling all the shots according to the report,

672
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:08,440
Speaker 1: and our guys are more plugged into Sacramento than anyone,

673
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 1: Sam Amick, he said, quote. McNair didn't want to fire

674
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:14,640
Speaker 1: brown Leak sources said there are internal questions about whether

675
00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:17,520
Speaker 1: he really wanted to sign DeRozan or even trade for

676
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:21,400
Speaker 1: zach Lavine. Tension also existed in recent days between McNair

677
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:24,440
Speaker 1: and the ownership group about Doug Christie's future, with Rana

678
00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:27,960
Speaker 1: Dvey viewed as the Christie backer end. Quote again, that's

679
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:30,400
Speaker 1: Sam amic from the athletics. So he's like, I think

680
00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:33,360
Speaker 1: Moniy McNair is like, well what am I doing? What's

681
00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:35,000
Speaker 1: the point of me? Even if you're the one calling

682
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:36,520
Speaker 1: all these shots and I'm maybe the one in the

683
00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:38,320
Speaker 1: in the room saying I don't think we should trade

684
00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:40,240
Speaker 1: for so and so or make that deal or fire

685
00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:43,640
Speaker 1: this coach or whatever. Now that could be spin obviously

686
00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:45,880
Speaker 1: and maybe to help McNair try and set up his

687
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:49,480
Speaker 1: next job. But also I believe it with Vivid Grandadive

688
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:51,040
Speaker 1: as the one being like, oh I can I know

689
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 1: what to do? We should do this? That's not good.

690
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:56,200
Speaker 1: So that's a bleak future for the Kings and their fans.

691
00:30:56,520 --> 00:31:01,160
Speaker 3: I suppose McNair has been there a long time five year, yeah, yeah.

692
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:05,160
Speaker 1: And it was okay, it was the most successful era

693
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:08,440
Speaker 1: in King's basketball in like twenty years. They did have

694
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:10,080
Speaker 1: six eighty eight winning percentage.

695
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:13,440
Speaker 3: Right, yeah, yeah, the Mike Brown move was a huge

696
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:17,160
Speaker 3: question when it happened. I like some of the draft picks.

697
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:19,760
Speaker 3: I mean, Devin Carter. You see him yesterday when they

698
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:23,040
Speaker 3: drafted him last year, Monts McNair said, or if you're

699
00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:26,760
Speaker 3: watching the NBA players or NBA playoffs, excuse me, there's

700
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:29,920
Speaker 3: like ten Devin Carter's out there. That's kind of true.

701
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:32,800
Speaker 3: Devin Carter's great, great pick. He's made some nice moves,

702
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:34,760
Speaker 3: but as I said, I mean the top end of

703
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:36,680
Speaker 3: that rotation just needs to be blown up.

704
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 1: So he's said than done, though, I think, oh yeah,

705
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:44,280
Speaker 1: oh yeah. The athletics. As Scott Perry, who was the

706
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:47,160
Speaker 1: King's vice president of basketball operations for like three months

707
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:49,680
Speaker 1: back in twenty seventeen before he got hired away by

708
00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:53,080
Speaker 1: the Knicks as the general manager for them, He's considered

709
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:56,200
Speaker 1: a front runner for this job and former Nuggets. Former

710
00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:59,640
Speaker 1: Nuggets general manager Calvin Booth also expected to be given

711
00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:02,800
Speaker 1: considered to take over for Monty McNair to just be

712
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:05,600
Speaker 1: a yes man to Vivic run. I think that's what's

713
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:06,200
Speaker 1: going on here?

714
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:08,440
Speaker 2: Even West will Cox left?

715
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:11,080
Speaker 1: That's right, you got out, that's right, left a couple

716
00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:12,480
Speaker 1: months ago. Didn't even a month ago? Or he's a

717
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 1: jug guy? Yeah, all right? Any other thoughts on those

718
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:20,440
Speaker 1: two playing games or the ones on Friday night, because

719
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:22,040
Speaker 1: I don't think we're going to do a deep dive

720
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:24,120
Speaker 1: for those those games tomorrow.

721
00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:24,720
Speaker 3: Let's just see.

722
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:25,840
Speaker 2: Let's just a good game.

723
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:26,440
Speaker 1: Let's just see.

724
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:29,320
Speaker 2: Okay, ten games. Has there ever been a good nine

725
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:32,880
Speaker 2: to ten game? Somebody should go back and check. Probably not.

726
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:36,000
Speaker 2: They're yearsly brutal. There's usually one blot. I know some

727
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:38,840
Speaker 2: bonus has been on one under another of some nine

728
00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:41,000
Speaker 2: to ten blow outs back in the Indiana days.

729
00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:44,320
Speaker 1: That's a good point. Okay, let's get into our two

730
00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:48,680
Speaker 1: more playoff previews here on No dunks two seven matchups

731
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:52,120
Speaker 1: we're tackling here. So I guess we can say, don't

732
00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:54,600
Speaker 1: call it an upset if the Warriors do take down

733
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:56,960
Speaker 1: the Rockets in the first round. Why because the Warriors

734
00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 1: are minus one ninety yet bet MGM to win the

735
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:03,680
Speaker 1: series despite being the seventh seed. According to yah who Sports,

736
00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:06,800
Speaker 1: Golden State is just the second number seventh seed to

737
00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:08,760
Speaker 1: be favored over a number two seed in the first

738
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:13,040
Speaker 1: round since like eighty eight, twenty twenty one was the

739
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:15,880
Speaker 1: one other time it was the Lakers favored over the

740
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:19,600
Speaker 1: Suns a seven to two matchup, So that was after

741
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:22,200
Speaker 1: the Lakers had won the twenty twenty title. But then

742
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:25,520
Speaker 1: maybe good news for Houston. Suns won that series in

743
00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:27,320
Speaker 1: six and then they went to the finals that year,

744
00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:29,320
Speaker 1: so you know, maybe that bodes well for them. But

745
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:32,680
Speaker 1: let's break it down. Number two Rockets versus Number seven Warriors.

746
00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:34,440
Speaker 1: What's one thing you're watching for in this series?

747
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:37,800
Speaker 3: Well, I'm just going to be watching how physical Houston

748
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:42,400
Speaker 3: gets guarding Steph Curry. Simple as that they bump, they grab,

749
00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:45,680
Speaker 3: That's what they do. They did it when they just

750
00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:50,680
Speaker 3: played it got physical two weeks ago, and sometimes they

751
00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:53,280
Speaker 3: get away with it, just like Draymond Green gets away

752
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:56,680
Speaker 3: with things. But there's it's going to be an extended

753
00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:02,360
Speaker 3: playoff series of bumping and grinding, being very very physical

754
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:04,320
Speaker 3: and men. Thompson is going to have that number one

755
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:08,600
Speaker 3: job guarding Steph Curry. And I'm sure Amadoka is gonna say,

756
00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:10,480
Speaker 3: I mean, you got to help on stuff, but don't

757
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:12,719
Speaker 3: help too much because you don't want that picker to

758
00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:15,000
Speaker 3: be a slipper. You don't want the Golden State Warriors

759
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:17,200
Speaker 3: to be able to find these back cuts over and

760
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:20,279
Speaker 3: over and over again. So it's as simple as that.

761
00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:23,600
Speaker 3: And Men Thompson is incredible. I do say they're gonna

762
00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:26,799
Speaker 3: get physical stuff, but I mean, Men Thompson is good

763
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:30,400
Speaker 3: at not being you know, extremely bumpy and grabby. He

764
00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:32,359
Speaker 3: said he's one of the top ten greats of all time.

765
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:35,600
Speaker 3: That's a matchup I want. And so you know, Men's

766
00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:38,640
Speaker 3: gonna get picked off, but he has to recover, and

767
00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:41,560
Speaker 3: I think he is capable of doing that. But you're

768
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:43,399
Speaker 3: gonna have a bunch of guys, Like when they played

769
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:46,200
Speaker 3: two weeks ago, Dylan Brooks hit him a couple times.

770
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:48,160
Speaker 3: Even after his shots, he just, you know, just started

771
00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:50,320
Speaker 3: to annoy. Steph Curry's gonna ge annoying. It's gonna be

772
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:52,960
Speaker 3: one of those series, you know, beyond Dylan Brooks, beyond

773
00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:54,719
Speaker 3: Men Thompson, there's a bunch of guys you can throw

774
00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:56,319
Speaker 3: at him. You know, Fred Van Vliet is gonna get

775
00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:58,480
Speaker 3: some obviously, Jellen Green's gonna get some. Tar Easton I

776
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:00,839
Speaker 3: think is an underrated defender who doesn't get talked about

777
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:02,560
Speaker 3: a lot, but they're gonna throw that at him. So

778
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:04,439
Speaker 3: just simple as that. Steph has to be damn good

779
00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:07,000
Speaker 3: on this team for this team to win. And so

780
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:10,399
Speaker 3: I'm just watching that whole seven game series. I feel

781
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:13,040
Speaker 3: like we're gonna have here. It's gonna be long, it's

782
00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:15,520
Speaker 3: gonna be a grinder, just gonna be watching him against

783
00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:17,319
Speaker 3: a bunch of rockets they're gonna throw at him.

784
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:19,640
Speaker 1: Yeah. The Warriors did win three of five games between

785
00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:22,120
Speaker 1: the two teams this regular season. Yes, they played five times,

786
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:24,560
Speaker 1: but Houston beaglein State in that last game that you

787
00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:26,400
Speaker 1: said there on April sixth, and that was one of

788
00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:29,480
Speaker 1: Curry's worst games ever, honestly, one a ten from the field.

789
00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:30,719
Speaker 3: He only hit one shot, one.

790
00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:33,920
Speaker 1: Of eight from three. Yeah, and mainly because aman Thompson

791
00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:37,759
Speaker 1: showing that combination right of length, athleticism, He's got a

792
00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:40,680
Speaker 1: super high motor, He's obviously likes the challenge too, and

793
00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:42,640
Speaker 1: he likes to play defense. He's one of those cats.

794
00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:45,480
Speaker 1: So can he do it for two weeks here? And

795
00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:48,560
Speaker 1: how does Curry obviously counter and Kerr and Curry to

796
00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:50,759
Speaker 1: unlock him a little bit. That's gonna be fun as hell.

797
00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:52,759
Speaker 2: That's gonna be awesome because I go back to, yeah,

798
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:54,960
Speaker 2: the one for ten, incredible stuff from a men Thompson.

799
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:57,120
Speaker 2: He was all over Steph Curry, but I flashed back

800
00:35:57,120 --> 00:35:59,359
Speaker 2: to Jalen Wells doing the same thing to Steph Curry

801
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:01,000
Speaker 2: held him without a field goal for the first time

802
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:03,880
Speaker 2: in forever, two points on zero of seven shooting. The

803
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:06,239
Speaker 2: next game that the Grizzlies and Warriors played against each other,

804
00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:08,120
Speaker 2: Jalen Wells was still out there and Steph Curry hung

805
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:10,160
Speaker 2: fifty two and twelve threes on them. So he figures

806
00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:12,279
Speaker 2: things out. But he's gonna have to figure things out,

807
00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:14,760
Speaker 2: and that's gonna be awesome to watch. I am super

808
00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:17,200
Speaker 2: interested in the first time factor for the Rockets because

809
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:19,759
Speaker 2: this is their first time through the playoffs and the

810
00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:23,200
Speaker 2: things that are their areas of weakness are kind of

811
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:27,200
Speaker 2: like classic playoff bugaboos. Right the game slows down in

812
00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:29,960
Speaker 2: the postseason, half court offense becomes a lot more important.

813
00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:32,960
Speaker 2: Teams usually get smaller over the course of time. So

814
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:35,040
Speaker 2: how are the Rockets gonna be able to play to

815
00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:37,680
Speaker 2: their strengths? How are they gonna win the possession game?

816
00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:40,800
Speaker 2: Because that's huge for them. The offensive rebounding, forcing turnovers.

817
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:42,920
Speaker 2: We know the Warriors are sloppy with it, though they're

818
00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:45,319
Speaker 2: a little better in the Butler era. And where does

819
00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:48,760
Speaker 2: their offense come from? So I'm really concerned and interested

820
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:51,200
Speaker 2: to see what Alprin Shengun does. And the two wins

821
00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:53,440
Speaker 2: against the Warriors twenty two and a half points per game,

822
00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:56,280
Speaker 2: forty nine percent field goal shooting, twelve and a half rebounds.

823
00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:59,480
Speaker 2: In those three losses thirteen points per game, forty six

824
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:02,120
Speaker 2: percent field go shooting, ten rebounds per game. They need

825
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:05,600
Speaker 2: him to be a hub of offense going against Draymond

826
00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:09,000
Speaker 2: probably Loony as well, even Jimmy Butler on some switches.

827
00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:12,000
Speaker 2: They need Shangoon to like be the man down low

828
00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:14,760
Speaker 2: because he can be their most steady source of offense,

829
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:16,240
Speaker 2: but he can have some duds as well.

830
00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:18,600
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think one thing you're gonna hear non stop

831
00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:20,520
Speaker 1: here until they tip this series, and even when they

832
00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:23,120
Speaker 1: do start it is this playoff experience right between these

833
00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:25,400
Speaker 1: two teams. I mean, the Warriors having these Hall of

834
00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:27,799
Speaker 1: famers that have done a million of these series, the

835
00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:30,839
Speaker 1: Rockets their lack of playoff experience, at least with three

836
00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:34,160
Speaker 1: of their starters. I mean Thompson, Sheng Guon and Jalen Green.

837
00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:36,480
Speaker 1: You never played in the playoffs, so that is something.

838
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:39,000
Speaker 1: But I will say some of the other guys on

839
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:41,040
Speaker 1: the roster at least have some experience. Fred Van Vlietz

840
00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:43,000
Speaker 1: played over fifty playoff games and he's a champ, so

841
00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:45,880
Speaker 1: that's good. Dylan Brooks has played in something like three

842
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:48,200
Speaker 1: or four playoff series, so he's got that going for him.

843
00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:51,040
Speaker 1: And then Steven Adams and like even your uncle Jeff Green,

844
00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:54,960
Speaker 1: they've played in a number of playoff games and series

845
00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:57,399
Speaker 1: and they're head coach too, Like he's not a first

846
00:37:57,400 --> 00:37:59,960
Speaker 1: time head coach. In the postseason, Yudoka went to the final.

847
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:01,759
Speaker 1: No I bring that up because you are going to

848
00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:03,600
Speaker 1: hear a lot of it. But I will say the

849
00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:05,839
Speaker 1: counter is like my starting point guard and my head

850
00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:08,719
Speaker 1: coach have been here before and gone through this. I'll

851
00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:11,280
Speaker 1: start with that. That's good. Like like the two Flick

852
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:14,439
Speaker 1: my floor leaders, my generals both on the floor and off,

853
00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:17,200
Speaker 1: they have experience, is all I'm getting at. So I

854
00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:19,280
Speaker 1: think it's getting a little overblown personally.

855
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:21,960
Speaker 3: You think the Rockets players are in the locker room saying, yeah,

856
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:24,400
Speaker 3: coach has been there before.

857
00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:27,240
Speaker 1: He understands the ebbs and flows of a playoff series.

858
00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:28,879
Speaker 1: It's almost like he's a great coach too.

859
00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:31,680
Speaker 3: So it's almost like he played against the Golden State

860
00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:34,160
Speaker 3: Warriors a couple of weeks ago when he me he

861
00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:36,560
Speaker 3: trash stocks Steph. He got into it with Steph the

862
00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:39,759
Speaker 3: mid court. Yeah, because he is that vocal guy. There's

863
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:42,239
Speaker 3: no doubt about that. So yeah, that could wear off

864
00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:45,239
Speaker 3: on them. It is interesting to see the types of

865
00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:48,319
Speaker 3: rotations that he made. Adoka is going to throw out

866
00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:52,000
Speaker 3: there because they do lack scores, there's no doubt, so

867
00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:55,480
Speaker 3: will they throw in the double big of Steven Adams,

868
00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:58,719
Speaker 3: Alpa and Shangun which is awesome. At offensive rebounding, it

869
00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:01,879
Speaker 3: is crazy at how many bores two dudes grab because yeah,

870
00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:04,239
Speaker 3: they just don't have a lot of scorers. So Adams,

871
00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:06,600
Speaker 3: you know, the number one offensive rebounder in the league

872
00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:08,640
Speaker 3: for guys that have played a ton. But some of

873
00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:12,760
Speaker 3: those Rockets lineups with Adams, they grabbed over fifty percent

874
00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:15,800
Speaker 3: of the offensive rebounds, like just you know, miss miss twice,

875
00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:19,040
Speaker 3: Well grab one, that's for sure. Adams Shen Gouon and

876
00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:23,480
Speaker 3: Jabari Smith for one, which is huge, And you got

877
00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:25,600
Speaker 3: a little shooting in Jabari Smith or Adam shanguon Atari

878
00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:27,479
Speaker 3: East and I think we're gonna sleep and we're gonna

879
00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:30,640
Speaker 3: see some of that. And there's been comparisons out there

880
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:34,160
Speaker 3: done on the athletic of Udoka, who's coached two Bigs

881
00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:37,600
Speaker 3: before or been been a part of Sorry excuse me,

882
00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:39,719
Speaker 3: he hasn't coached them, but been part of teams like

883
00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:42,880
Speaker 3: Tim Duncan and Thiago Splitter when he was on the

884
00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:45,720
Speaker 3: Spurs roster, Tim Duncan and LaMarcus Aldridge or Al Horford

885
00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:47,960
Speaker 3: and Robert Williams a couple of years ago when they

886
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:50,560
Speaker 3: went to the finals. So that passing in there. You

887
00:39:50,600 --> 00:39:54,120
Speaker 3: can't play Steven Adams and Shangun too many minutes because

888
00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:58,080
Speaker 3: you're just gonna get burned defensively. But they'll throw it

889
00:39:58,120 --> 00:39:59,960
Speaker 3: out there because they need scores, and I just want

890
00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:02,920
Speaker 3: if the Rockets are going to be up there and perform.

891
00:40:03,719 --> 00:40:05,319
Speaker 3: I'm not trying to compare it to the NBA Cup.

892
00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:07,000
Speaker 3: When we saw them in the NBA Cup against the

893
00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:11,080
Speaker 3: ok See. They didn't perform. They didn't perform scoring wise,

894
00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:14,480
Speaker 3: So that's that's a big question. Yeah, everybody will be

895
00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:15,839
Speaker 3: talking about it, and I think it's a fair question.

896
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:18,080
Speaker 1: I mean it's a contrasted styles the way these two

897
00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:21,680
Speaker 1: teams play offensively. Warriors they played the beautiful game, right,

898
00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:24,279
Speaker 1: it's all ball movements, all player movements, constant movement, blah

899
00:40:24,280 --> 00:40:26,440
Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah. And the Rockets are dead last

900
00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:29,920
Speaker 1: in ball movement and assists rate and they just slow

901
00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:33,960
Speaker 1: things down and they're more methodical. So it's completely different.

902
00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:36,040
Speaker 1: But they're obviously a great defensive team. So this is

903
00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:39,560
Speaker 1: gonna be a fun one. Let's talk X factors trail

904
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:41,080
Speaker 1: to start with you who you got your eye on in.

905
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:42,320
Speaker 2: This is Fred Van Bleek.

906
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:45,120
Speaker 1: Gonna have a kid that'd be huge, That'd be big.

907
00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:45,359
Speaker 3: Yeah.

908
00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:47,520
Speaker 2: That was his best shooting stretch ever in the playoffs,

909
00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:51,439
Speaker 2: was immediately post child in the Milwaukee series, translated into

910
00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:52,960
Speaker 2: the finals as well. So I think that would be

911
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:55,120
Speaker 2: big time for the Houston Rockets because their best three

912
00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:56,400
Speaker 2: point shooter is Dylan Brooks.

913
00:40:56,840 --> 00:40:58,879
Speaker 1: So I think Brooks needs to hit.

914
00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:01,799
Speaker 2: Fred Van Bleek need the hit, and Jalen Green needs

915
00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:03,480
Speaker 2: to have a good ten game stretch. He's like last

916
00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:05,920
Speaker 2: ten games man, Yeah, you get you see the stats

917
00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:07,799
Speaker 2: for Jalen Green, Oh my goodness, thirty points per game

918
00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:09,920
Speaker 2: Over the last ten next ten games, he'll be averaging

919
00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:12,040
Speaker 2: eighteen points a game on thirty three percent shooting.

920
00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:13,319
Speaker 3: But if it's the right.

921
00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:17,480
Speaker 2: Seven games, that's really nice for Houston because you gotta

922
00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:19,839
Speaker 2: wonder where their offense is gonna come from. You're talking

923
00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:23,360
Speaker 2: about the difference on offense, but the Rockets bring it defensively.

924
00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:24,520
Speaker 1: The Warriors are a.

925
00:41:24,440 --> 00:41:27,080
Speaker 2: Good defense right now as well. Their biggest concern is

926
00:41:27,080 --> 00:41:29,719
Speaker 2: going to be the glass. You hear Brian Winhers say

927
00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:32,120
Speaker 2: it all the time. No rebounds, no rings. How do

928
00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:34,360
Speaker 2: they rebound? I think is going to be the question

929
00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:37,040
Speaker 2: for them. But the Warriors are pretty good at getting

930
00:41:37,080 --> 00:41:38,879
Speaker 2: big guys off the cord, or at least making them

931
00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:41,360
Speaker 2: very uncomfortable. And that's been a strength for the Rockets,

932
00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:43,799
Speaker 2: being able to play shng Gun and Adams together. And

933
00:41:43,840 --> 00:41:45,640
Speaker 2: I wonder just how many minutes both of those guys

934
00:41:45,640 --> 00:41:46,560
Speaker 2: are gonna be able to survive.

935
00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:51,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, the oh foul talk with the referee is going

936
00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:53,640
Speaker 3: to be deep in this one. I mean when they

937
00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:55,760
Speaker 3: played a couple of weeks ago, Jimmy got so upset

938
00:41:55,840 --> 00:41:58,040
Speaker 3: after the game he said, Coote, I've never seen an

939
00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:00,600
Speaker 3: individual Steph Craig get fouled more than he gets felt.

940
00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:03,000
Speaker 3: It really angers me. That's on my team and he

941
00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:05,719
Speaker 3: gets hacked like that. Like that is going to be

942
00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:08,440
Speaker 3: deep into this one, and it's going to be deep

943
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:10,839
Speaker 3: with Jimmy Butler as well. I mean, they need him

944
00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:14,640
Speaker 3: to be really really good period. Well he's score enough.

945
00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:18,040
Speaker 3: I think that's a fair question in this game, in

946
00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:20,200
Speaker 3: this series, I should say. I mean, will the Rockets

947
00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:24,640
Speaker 3: length discourage him? You see sometimes when Jimmy has those

948
00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:26,640
Speaker 3: games where he just isn't shooting all that much, it's

949
00:42:26,680 --> 00:42:30,720
Speaker 3: just against monstrous teams and the Rockets are very very good.

950
00:42:31,360 --> 00:42:33,160
Speaker 3: Is Jimmy going to get to the line enough? I

951
00:42:33,160 --> 00:42:35,960
Speaker 3: mean a couple of weeks ago he didn't. When they

952
00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:38,000
Speaker 3: played he only shot four free throws. Golden State only

953
00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:42,240
Speaker 3: had eleven free throws. So it's Jimmy has to perform

954
00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:45,719
Speaker 3: along with Steph because they seemingly don't have a third

955
00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:48,840
Speaker 3: or fourth option right now. That's the crazy part of

956
00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:51,200
Speaker 3: this team. When Jimmy got there, Brandon p Jemski was

957
00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:54,240
Speaker 3: freaking awesome. He was that third guy you can handle,

958
00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:56,080
Speaker 3: put on the floor, do everything. But he has just

959
00:42:56,239 --> 00:42:58,880
Speaker 3: gone quiet. So who's going to be the guy to

960
00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:02,719
Speaker 3: support Jimmy if you know Jimmy's not scorching.

961
00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:06,880
Speaker 1: Is it coaminga tag? We already talked about it a

962
00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:09,400
Speaker 1: little bit after that series. He didn't play obviously in

963
00:43:09,400 --> 00:43:11,839
Speaker 1: that game the other night in the play in game,

964
00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:14,400
Speaker 1: but we're like, he has played well against the Rockets.

965
00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:18,000
Speaker 1: Obviously is athleticism and maybe as a something that they're

966
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:19,839
Speaker 1: gonna turn to in this series. We'll see. We'll see

967
00:43:19,840 --> 00:43:21,600
Speaker 1: how if curR even goes to him, I mean, just

968
00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:23,440
Speaker 1: completely trust the guy at all to give it. On

969
00:43:23,480 --> 00:43:26,920
Speaker 1: the defensive end seems like the biggest issue, definitely, So

970
00:43:27,040 --> 00:43:29,480
Speaker 1: we will find out. I'm with you with the Rockets

971
00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:32,279
Speaker 1: guards though, and whether they can hit threes, because that

972
00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:34,640
Speaker 1: is a wild stat that Dylan Brooks is their only

973
00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:36,919
Speaker 1: guy on their team that shoots above average from three

974
00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:39,040
Speaker 1: for guys that take a lot of them, two hundred

975
00:43:39,040 --> 00:43:40,840
Speaker 1: plus three point attempts, this is by way a shoe.

976
00:43:40,920 --> 00:43:43,160
Speaker 1: The Warriors have four of those guys. I mean, they

977
00:43:43,160 --> 00:43:46,880
Speaker 1: have Curry, they have Moody Podjemski, Buddy Heel, so you

978
00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:50,919
Speaker 1: need Jayalen Green and Fred Van Vliet, who, by the way,

979
00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:54,520
Speaker 1: take a lot of threes. They combined to take something

980
00:43:54,560 --> 00:43:57,560
Speaker 1: like sixteen threes a game together, but you're gonna need

981
00:43:57,600 --> 00:44:00,080
Speaker 1: it above average. I think to pull off this, I

982
00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:02,040
Speaker 1: was gonna call it an upset, but it's not because

983
00:44:02,040 --> 00:44:03,920
Speaker 1: they're the two seats. But you get my point here,

984
00:44:03,960 --> 00:44:05,520
Speaker 1: They're gonna need at least one of those guys I

985
00:44:05,520 --> 00:44:07,200
Speaker 1: think to pop off in some of these games. And

986
00:44:07,200 --> 00:44:08,600
Speaker 1: even look what the Grizzlies did, Like they had a

987
00:44:08,600 --> 00:44:10,880
Speaker 1: good shooting night and they kept that game competitive. They

988
00:44:10,960 --> 00:44:12,480
Speaker 1: hit you know, it was only twelve threes, but they

989
00:44:12,480 --> 00:44:14,799
Speaker 1: showed a really good percentage forty six percent the other

990
00:44:14,920 --> 00:44:17,319
Speaker 1: night with you know, Jackson Junior hitting a couple and

991
00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:19,719
Speaker 1: Desmond being catching the fire. So I'm gonna need some

992
00:44:19,760 --> 00:44:21,600
Speaker 1: good strong guard play here, at least in terms of

993
00:44:21,600 --> 00:44:25,040
Speaker 1: scoring from those guys. I think any any other X

994
00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:27,640
Speaker 1: factors or guys like you know, talking about the bigs

995
00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:30,720
Speaker 1: with the rockets, Like will we see Looney more potentially

996
00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:31,200
Speaker 1: in this series?

997
00:44:31,280 --> 00:44:33,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think he'll be when Steven Adams plays, I

998
00:44:33,239 --> 00:44:34,719
Speaker 2: think he can get some time. But I also think

999
00:44:34,760 --> 00:44:36,920
Speaker 2: Quenton Post is a big player in this series for

1000
00:44:36,960 --> 00:44:39,719
Speaker 2: the Warriors cause he's a seven footer, but they need

1001
00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:42,280
Speaker 2: him rebounding and they do need some like release valve

1002
00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:44,560
Speaker 2: three point shots because those shots will be open. There

1003
00:44:44,560 --> 00:44:46,120
Speaker 2: will be times when they're getting the ball out of

1004
00:44:46,120 --> 00:44:48,759
Speaker 2: Curry's hands or out of Butler's hands, and that's gonna

1005
00:44:48,760 --> 00:44:51,600
Speaker 2: be a concern for the Warriors. Is like, not necessarily

1006
00:44:51,640 --> 00:44:53,600
Speaker 2: who's the second scorer. That's Jimmy, but like, who's the

1007
00:44:53,600 --> 00:44:57,680
Speaker 2: second scorer playing alongside Jimmy Moody and Pajemski two of

1008
00:44:57,800 --> 00:45:00,320
Speaker 2: nine from three against Memphis, but they both shot the

1009
00:45:00,320 --> 00:45:03,080
Speaker 2: ball really well in April. Buddy Healed has his moments.

1010
00:45:03,600 --> 00:45:05,520
Speaker 2: He has his bad moments as well, But I think

1011
00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:08,200
Speaker 2: Post is going to get a chance. That's a big

1012
00:45:08,239 --> 00:45:10,160
Speaker 2: ask for a dude who's a rookie. He's been awesome

1013
00:45:10,200 --> 00:45:12,160
Speaker 2: this season. He is an older guy, so I guess

1014
00:45:12,160 --> 00:45:15,160
Speaker 2: maybe he'll be a little bit less phased by the moment.

1015
00:45:15,200 --> 00:45:17,719
Speaker 2: But still they're gonna need a contribution from Quentin Post.

1016
00:45:17,719 --> 00:45:21,279
Speaker 1: I believe predictions. Where are you going? You said it's

1017
00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:23,319
Speaker 1: gonna be a long series, Yes, like we thought with

1018
00:45:23,360 --> 00:45:25,200
Speaker 1: a lot of these so far. Yeah, we picked a

1019
00:45:25,239 --> 00:45:28,600
Speaker 1: lot of six or seven game series here. Where are

1020
00:45:28,640 --> 00:45:28,919
Speaker 1: you going?

1021
00:45:30,280 --> 00:45:32,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, this's a tough one for me. At first, I

1022
00:45:32,600 --> 00:45:34,839
Speaker 3: thought Houston could do it in seven, having that home

1023
00:45:34,840 --> 00:45:38,880
Speaker 3: court advantage, But I do think we'll see them just

1024
00:45:38,880 --> 00:45:41,960
Speaker 3: struggle to score the ball. And so if he gets

1025
00:45:41,960 --> 00:45:43,920
Speaker 3: to seven, we're gonna see probably Curry and what he

1026
00:45:43,920 --> 00:45:46,080
Speaker 3: did two years ago against the Sacramento Kings in that

1027
00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:50,359
Speaker 3: first round Game seven in Sacramento, he dropped fifty. This

1028
00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:54,200
Speaker 3: one will be in Houston. You can't bet against Steph

1029
00:45:54,239 --> 00:45:57,319
Speaker 3: even though men Thompson will be all over him. I mean,

1030
00:45:57,360 --> 00:45:59,279
Speaker 3: they'll just get him loose just enough to have a

1031
00:45:59,320 --> 00:46:02,200
Speaker 3: monstrous game. So I'll take the Warriors in seven. Cat

1032
00:46:02,239 --> 00:46:04,319
Speaker 3: Stuf's gonna have a good one. How can you bet

1033
00:46:04,360 --> 00:46:07,279
Speaker 3: against that, dude? They'll do it.

1034
00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:10,480
Speaker 2: The big question for me that I've been wrestling with

1035
00:46:10,760 --> 00:46:15,120
Speaker 2: is who does a long series benefit. Because the Warriors

1036
00:46:15,120 --> 00:46:17,799
Speaker 2: are older, they can definitely get run down. They don't

1037
00:46:17,840 --> 00:46:19,960
Speaker 2: have as much depth as the Rockets do. But I

1038
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:22,319
Speaker 2: think Kerr is a good coach over the course of

1039
00:46:22,320 --> 00:46:24,960
Speaker 2: a seven game series, Like he's really good with adjustments

1040
00:46:25,280 --> 00:46:27,880
Speaker 2: once we get the five, six, seven. Also, they just

1041
00:46:27,920 --> 00:46:30,399
Speaker 2: got the figure it out factor. Like Steph's a great

1042
00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:33,400
Speaker 2: problem solver, Draymond's a great problem solver. Jimmy Butler's a

1043
00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:35,920
Speaker 2: great problem solver. They've got years and years of experience

1044
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:38,439
Speaker 2: doing that kind of thing. On the Rockets side, they've

1045
00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:41,640
Speaker 2: got the youth, they've got the depth. They should be fresher,

1046
00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:43,640
Speaker 2: But they've got a lot of guys that I'm like,

1047
00:46:43,680 --> 00:46:45,120
Speaker 2: by the end of a playoff series, are they going

1048
00:46:45,160 --> 00:46:46,759
Speaker 2: to be able to stay on the court that even

1049
00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:49,160
Speaker 2: includes a men Thompson. I'm like, the guys a twenty

1050
00:46:49,520 --> 00:46:51,560
Speaker 2: three point shooter. Are the Warriors gonna be able to

1051
00:46:51,560 --> 00:46:53,440
Speaker 2: scheme him off the court like Tony Allen back in

1052
00:46:53,480 --> 00:46:56,000
Speaker 2: the day. I doubt it happens, but there are concerns

1053
00:46:56,280 --> 00:46:59,400
Speaker 2: with that Jalen Green up and down. Steven Adams, is

1054
00:46:59,400 --> 00:47:01,680
Speaker 2: he gonna have an impact on this series? I don't know.

1055
00:47:01,680 --> 00:47:03,359
Speaker 2: There's just a lot of guys they got questions about

1056
00:47:03,360 --> 00:47:04,960
Speaker 2: what the Rockets because we haven't seen him do it.

1057
00:47:05,160 --> 00:47:07,000
Speaker 2: So I'm a task on this one. I like Warriors

1058
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:09,120
Speaker 2: in seven because they got the guy I trust the most.

1059
00:47:09,719 --> 00:47:12,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, and some of some of their guys, their support guys,

1060
00:47:12,320 --> 00:47:14,080
Speaker 3: because there are Warriors guys that we have questions about,

1061
00:47:14,080 --> 00:47:17,520
Speaker 3: who's that third guy? But like you said, Pajamski Moody,

1062
00:47:17,520 --> 00:47:20,719
Speaker 3: they've been shooting really well until that Memphis Grizzlies game.

1063
00:47:20,840 --> 00:47:24,040
Speaker 3: So maybe it's just a play in versus playoffs thing

1064
00:47:24,120 --> 00:47:26,919
Speaker 3: that they'll get through it, or maybe they won't shine

1065
00:47:26,920 --> 00:47:27,440
Speaker 3: in the playoffs.

1066
00:47:27,680 --> 00:47:30,000
Speaker 1: Look, I know, I'll admit I'm living in the moment

1067
00:47:30,080 --> 00:47:32,040
Speaker 1: right now because I would have a different opinion. I

1068
00:47:32,080 --> 00:47:34,319
Speaker 1: think if we didn't see what Jimmy Butler did in

1069
00:47:34,360 --> 00:47:37,320
Speaker 1: his last two games, like this guy has like completely

1070
00:47:37,320 --> 00:47:40,120
Speaker 1: proven like yeah, I do this come playoff time and

1071
00:47:40,120 --> 00:47:42,200
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, yeah he does. Like those were incredible.

1072
00:47:42,200 --> 00:47:44,160
Speaker 1: Those are the best two Jimmy Butler games we've seen

1073
00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:47,040
Speaker 1: all season. And I feel like he's going to continue

1074
00:47:47,040 --> 00:47:48,680
Speaker 1: at that sort of level and they're going to need

1075
00:47:48,760 --> 00:47:51,160
Speaker 1: him to do that. That's why I'm going Warriors in six.

1076
00:47:51,200 --> 00:47:52,600
Speaker 1: You guys laid out all the reasons why I think

1077
00:47:52,640 --> 00:47:54,520
Speaker 1: it's going to be competitive. I can't wait to see

1078
00:47:54,520 --> 00:47:58,760
Speaker 1: who gets ejected first or if there's suspensions in this series.

1079
00:47:59,320 --> 00:48:01,480
Speaker 1: You don't, I mean, they got a lot of guys

1080
00:48:02,320 --> 00:48:04,279
Speaker 1: that like to mix it up, and there's gonna be

1081
00:48:04,280 --> 00:48:07,000
Speaker 1: a lot of complaining and I mean, I don't know.

1082
00:48:07,040 --> 00:48:08,520
Speaker 1: It feels like this is gonna be like Game two

1083
00:48:08,560 --> 00:48:10,719
Speaker 1: or three or four where someone like Dylan Brooks or

1084
00:48:10,800 --> 00:48:13,760
Speaker 1: Draymond Green crosses some sort of line and we're gonna

1085
00:48:13,760 --> 00:48:16,719
Speaker 1: have a big twenty minute segment on oh, should he

1086
00:48:16,800 --> 00:48:18,960
Speaker 1: get suspended or not? Like it feels like that's coming.

1087
00:48:19,239 --> 00:48:22,200
Speaker 1: So that's always exciting for us podcast creators. But I'll

1088
00:48:22,200 --> 00:48:24,400
Speaker 1: go Warriors in six. You guys go Warriors in seven.

1089
00:48:24,960 --> 00:48:30,719
Speaker 1: Krouella the kid aka Prince, Uh, where are you going

1090
00:48:30,719 --> 00:48:31,320
Speaker 1: in this one?

1091
00:48:31,440 --> 00:48:31,560
Speaker 3: Well?

1092
00:48:31,719 --> 00:48:33,239
Speaker 4: You look at both teams. You got to see which

1093
00:48:33,280 --> 00:48:34,919
Speaker 4: ones got the most dogs.

1094
00:48:34,800 --> 00:48:39,319
Speaker 1: Right, I got the one on one in me.

1095
00:48:40,320 --> 00:48:41,879
Speaker 4: You look at the Warriors, they got the most dogs.

1096
00:48:41,920 --> 00:48:44,440
Speaker 4: They broughab one of the biggest playoff dogs in with

1097
00:48:44,560 --> 00:48:46,160
Speaker 4: Jimmy Butler. So I gotta go Warriors and.

1098
00:48:46,200 --> 00:48:50,200
Speaker 1: Six Warriors and six. Okay, no dark in the Rockets?

1099
00:48:50,239 --> 00:48:52,920
Speaker 1: Will we look silly? Will that be like that? Uh?

1100
00:48:53,040 --> 00:48:56,359
Speaker 1: That Laker Suns matchup back in the days got some

1101
00:48:56,400 --> 00:48:59,120
Speaker 1: similarities in a weird way, I guess. But uh, we

1102
00:48:59,200 --> 00:49:01,040
Speaker 1: are all Warriors who got in the stream team let

1103
00:49:01,120 --> 00:49:04,680
Speaker 1: us know, all right? The other conference, Eastern Conference second

1104
00:49:04,719 --> 00:49:07,880
Speaker 1: seeded Boston Celtics, will face the seventh seeded Magic in

1105
00:49:07,920 --> 00:49:11,040
Speaker 1: the first round of the twenty five playoffs. Two franchises

1106
00:49:11,080 --> 00:49:16,000
Speaker 1: have not met in the postseason since twenty ten Eastern

1107
00:49:16,080 --> 00:49:19,840
Speaker 1: Conference Finals. Yeah under this Paul Pearson company beating Dwight

1108
00:49:19,880 --> 00:49:21,600
Speaker 1: Howard's Magic back then.

1109
00:49:21,760 --> 00:49:23,880
Speaker 3: I can't believe Vince Carter didn't go to the fricking

1110
00:49:24,040 --> 00:49:24,840
Speaker 3: NBA Finals.

1111
00:49:25,840 --> 00:49:28,239
Speaker 1: Colors on the Magic. The current day Magic won their

1112
00:49:28,280 --> 00:49:31,319
Speaker 1: regular season series over the Celtics two one, but do

1113
00:49:31,520 --> 00:49:34,600
Speaker 1: not take a whole lot from that series. A lot

1114
00:49:34,600 --> 00:49:37,000
Speaker 1: of guys miss games. I don't think Tatum played in

1115
00:49:37,000 --> 00:49:39,120
Speaker 1: two of them, and you know, across the board, a

1116
00:49:39,120 --> 00:49:41,200
Speaker 1: lot of guys were missing. So these are for the

1117
00:49:41,239 --> 00:49:44,200
Speaker 1: most part, sort of full rosters outside of Suggs and

1118
00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:48,200
Speaker 1: Mo Wagner there for the Magic and you know, keeping

1119
00:49:48,200 --> 00:49:51,640
Speaker 1: an eye on Jalen Brown's knee for sure. But what

1120
00:49:51,640 --> 00:49:53,719
Speaker 1: are you watching for, tk you get started here in

1121
00:49:53,800 --> 00:49:54,640
Speaker 1: Celtics Magic.

1122
00:49:55,040 --> 00:49:57,840
Speaker 2: I'm watching for the games that Orlando actually puts it

1123
00:49:57,880 --> 00:50:01,280
Speaker 2: all together. Their defense is good and they have offense

1124
00:50:01,400 --> 00:50:04,480
Speaker 2: to sustain on the other end, because that, to me

1125
00:50:04,520 --> 00:50:06,440
Speaker 2: is when it actually gets interesting for the Celtics. Like

1126
00:50:06,440 --> 00:50:09,120
Speaker 2: this is kind of a good test for Boston. I

1127
00:50:09,120 --> 00:50:10,920
Speaker 2: think they're going to blow out this series. They're the

1128
00:50:10,920 --> 00:50:13,360
Speaker 2: best three point shooting team we've got. The Orlando Magic

1129
00:50:13,400 --> 00:50:15,439
Speaker 2: are the worst. Like it just doesn't make sense. They're

1130
00:50:15,440 --> 00:50:18,600
Speaker 2: an awesome offense. The Celtics are still good defensively as well.

1131
00:50:18,719 --> 00:50:21,160
Speaker 2: Orlando doesn't have it on both sides of the wall.

1132
00:50:21,239 --> 00:50:23,920
Speaker 2: But if there's one or two games where Orlando looks

1133
00:50:23,960 --> 00:50:26,320
Speaker 2: good on the offensive end, we're going to get a

1134
00:50:26,360 --> 00:50:27,160
Speaker 2: couple of good games.

1135
00:50:27,480 --> 00:50:27,680
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1136
00:50:27,840 --> 00:50:29,839
Speaker 2: Man, that's all I'm excited for is the games where

1137
00:50:29,920 --> 00:50:31,680
Speaker 2: Orlando looks decent offensively.

1138
00:50:32,520 --> 00:50:36,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, some good series here, and they just have to

1139
00:50:36,920 --> 00:50:40,000
Speaker 3: be really good offensively. But I think the Celtics will

1140
00:50:40,000 --> 00:50:42,799
Speaker 3: be able to hold them down where they are good offensively.

1141
00:50:42,840 --> 00:50:44,560
Speaker 3: I think they'll be able to hold down Bun Carrow

1142
00:50:44,760 --> 00:50:47,840
Speaker 3: and Franz Wagner because they do like to play the

1143
00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:50,600
Speaker 3: double bigs, and I think those double bigs will be

1144
00:50:50,640 --> 00:50:54,520
Speaker 3: good enough when they throw out Porzingis and Horford or

1145
00:50:54,800 --> 00:50:57,680
Speaker 3: you know, Porzingis will see Luke Cornett out there. Because

1146
00:50:57,680 --> 00:51:00,239
Speaker 3: they are really really good in the paint. They are

1147
00:51:00,280 --> 00:51:02,879
Speaker 3: second in opponent field goal percentage in the paint. They're

1148
00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:05,280
Speaker 3: third in the NBA when it comes to aponent field

1149
00:51:05,280 --> 00:51:11,480
Speaker 3: goal percentage overall. And they don't fell and so they

1150
00:51:11,520 --> 00:51:14,439
Speaker 3: are just going to do that thing where they stay

1151
00:51:14,440 --> 00:51:15,880
Speaker 3: in front of guys, they don't bump them, and they

1152
00:51:15,920 --> 00:51:18,480
Speaker 3: get out and shoot threes. On the other end, I

1153
00:51:18,480 --> 00:51:21,279
Speaker 3: think they'll be fine. I think they'll be fine. Unfortunately,

1154
00:51:21,480 --> 00:51:24,200
Speaker 3: I don't think the where do the Magic score in

1155
00:51:24,520 --> 00:51:25,040
Speaker 3: this series?

1156
00:51:25,160 --> 00:51:28,880
Speaker 1: That's the question going to be difficult. But obviously at

1157
00:51:28,920 --> 00:51:30,760
Speaker 1: least they have an identity, and that is to try

1158
00:51:30,760 --> 00:51:32,719
Speaker 1: and slow Boston. But you're right, man, they're just so

1159
00:51:33,280 --> 00:51:34,840
Speaker 1: like they have so many guys that can light it

1160
00:51:34,920 --> 00:51:35,560
Speaker 1: up from distance.

1161
00:51:35,760 --> 00:51:40,160
Speaker 2: You want, you want some encouragement, sure, Brent Rosengrin. Orlando

1162
00:51:40,200 --> 00:51:42,960
Speaker 2: held Boston eleven and a half three point attempts below

1163
00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:43,520
Speaker 2: their average.

1164
00:51:43,560 --> 00:51:45,520
Speaker 1: Okay, season, that's good, that's good.

1165
00:51:45,560 --> 00:51:48,400
Speaker 2: The Celtics were seven and fourteen this season when they

1166
00:51:48,400 --> 00:51:51,680
Speaker 2: were out shot from three point land. Okay, we're not

1167
00:51:51,719 --> 00:51:53,480
Speaker 2: expecting the Magic to do it that often, but they

1168
00:51:53,520 --> 00:51:55,440
Speaker 2: limit the three point attempts. And then their two losses

1169
00:51:55,440 --> 00:51:58,080
Speaker 2: to Orlando, Boston went fifteen to seventy three from three.

1170
00:51:58,160 --> 00:52:00,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, because you know who they were playing, you know,

1171
00:52:01,000 --> 00:52:02,759
Speaker 3: you know who they were playing. In that last game

1172
00:52:02,800 --> 00:52:05,680
Speaker 3: they played, I think Joe Mizoula was being smart. He's

1173
00:52:05,719 --> 00:52:08,440
Speaker 3: it was a couple of weeks ago, he said, Nah,

1174
00:52:08,520 --> 00:52:13,839
Speaker 3: we're gonna play Baylor Shireman, Tory Craig, Luke Cornett, those

1175
00:52:13,880 --> 00:52:16,360
Speaker 3: guys are starting, and then Sam Houser and Paint Prichard.

1176
00:52:16,360 --> 00:52:19,080
Speaker 3: I said them last because those guys can shoot, but

1177
00:52:19,480 --> 00:52:20,320
Speaker 3: that's who they were playing.

1178
00:52:20,480 --> 00:52:23,560
Speaker 2: Sorry, Brent, Sorry Brent Man.

1179
00:52:25,520 --> 00:52:27,440
Speaker 1: Okay, X factors. Do you have anyone you have your

1180
00:52:27,440 --> 00:52:27,799
Speaker 1: eye on?

1181
00:52:28,520 --> 00:52:31,440
Speaker 3: Well, I will be watching Jaylen Brown's knees. Yeah. I

1182
00:52:31,480 --> 00:52:35,160
Speaker 3: think that's important for the future of this team the

1183
00:52:35,360 --> 00:52:39,000
Speaker 3: very near future, these next couple months. But I do

1184
00:52:39,080 --> 00:52:43,320
Speaker 3: love this quote from Jalen Green, Jalen Green, the other

1185
00:52:43,440 --> 00:52:45,560
Speaker 3: Jalen Jaylen Brown. He learned how to play on the

1186
00:52:45,560 --> 00:52:48,920
Speaker 3: bum knee. I like this quote quote. I can hit shots,

1187
00:52:48,920 --> 00:52:50,720
Speaker 3: I can shoot the ball, I can get to my spots,

1188
00:52:50,719 --> 00:52:52,640
Speaker 3: I can score different ways. I think that could be

1189
00:52:52,680 --> 00:52:56,080
Speaker 3: a good thing. Reminding myself that not only are you athletic,

1190
00:52:56,440 --> 00:52:58,799
Speaker 3: but you've got a high skill level as well, So

1191
00:52:59,040 --> 00:53:03,200
Speaker 3: utilize that. Oh man, when you mentioned the two thousand

1192
00:53:03,239 --> 00:53:05,920
Speaker 3: and nine Eastern Conference Finals, I flashed back to Vince Cardiff.

1193
00:53:05,920 --> 00:53:08,560
Speaker 3: Only Vince Carter talk like that, you get shooting for

1194
00:53:08,640 --> 00:53:11,000
Speaker 3: the mid range, those high skills, he could have won

1195
00:53:11,280 --> 00:53:14,200
Speaker 3: that series. Anyways, I think they're gonna take care of

1196
00:53:14,239 --> 00:53:16,520
Speaker 3: the Orlando Magic. So I think what's important here is

1197
00:53:16,760 --> 00:53:17,040
Speaker 3: this guy.

1198
00:53:17,120 --> 00:53:19,920
Speaker 1: So how he looks, how he's moving, doesn't re injure it.

1199
00:53:20,640 --> 00:53:22,840
Speaker 1: Limited minutes, maybe you get a couple of blowout wins,

1200
00:53:23,000 --> 00:53:23,799
Speaker 1: is what you're sort of talking.

1201
00:53:24,160 --> 00:53:26,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, because yeah, it was. He was important obviously in

1202
00:53:26,920 --> 00:53:31,520
Speaker 3: the NBA Finals defensively against Luke against Luca, So he

1203
00:53:31,600 --> 00:53:34,120
Speaker 3: needs everything in that knee. I mean, he just needs

1204
00:53:34,120 --> 00:53:35,680
Speaker 3: to be really good on both ends.

1205
00:53:36,040 --> 00:53:36,520
Speaker 1: Well you got.

1206
00:53:37,000 --> 00:53:39,040
Speaker 2: I would like to see a Peyton Pritchard versus Cole

1207
00:53:39,080 --> 00:53:42,560
Speaker 2: Anthony Epic duel. Okay, those guys can score a lot

1208
00:53:42,560 --> 00:53:44,920
Speaker 2: of points sure the bench, and they play very similarly,

1209
00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:47,280
Speaker 2: so that would be interesting to see. And Franz Bognan,

1210
00:53:47,280 --> 00:53:50,080
Speaker 2: I've got my eye on you. Nineteen points on forty

1211
00:53:50,120 --> 00:53:53,319
Speaker 2: one percent field goal last playoffs, twenty seven percent from

1212
00:53:53,360 --> 00:53:56,280
Speaker 2: three to fifty three percent true shooting. Not a great

1213
00:53:56,800 --> 00:53:59,680
Speaker 2: run from Franz, and then only thirteen points on fifteen

1214
00:53:59,680 --> 00:54:01,880
Speaker 2: shots against Atlanta and their play in game went zero

1215
00:54:01,920 --> 00:54:04,240
Speaker 2: for five from three. I think it would be encouraging

1216
00:54:04,280 --> 00:54:07,560
Speaker 2: for the Magic to see him have a decent postseason

1217
00:54:07,680 --> 00:54:10,520
Speaker 2: series because he's not necessarily looking like a postseason riser.

1218
00:54:10,600 --> 00:54:15,000
Speaker 2: We've seen Paloll be pretty effective in some games for Orlando,

1219
00:54:15,040 --> 00:54:16,840
Speaker 2: and I think it'd be cool to see Franz do

1220
00:54:16,880 --> 00:54:17,280
Speaker 2: the same.

1221
00:54:18,360 --> 00:54:20,600
Speaker 1: I can't wait to see Porzingis and al Horford bomb

1222
00:54:20,640 --> 00:54:23,640
Speaker 1: away like they're gonna have the ability to neutralize Orlando's

1223
00:54:23,640 --> 00:54:25,640
Speaker 1: big men and really pull them away from the basket

1224
00:54:26,080 --> 00:54:28,560
Speaker 1: as they do against every team. But from the Magic

1225
00:54:28,600 --> 00:54:32,080
Speaker 1: side of things, as an X factor, I want to see,

1226
00:54:32,200 --> 00:54:35,200
Speaker 1: can anybody step up to be the Magic's version of

1227
00:54:35,239 --> 00:54:37,839
Speaker 1: Caleb Martin, because that's what you're looking for here at

1228
00:54:37,840 --> 00:54:40,960
Speaker 1: an upset potential. He cooked them. Remember in the twenty

1229
00:54:41,040 --> 00:54:43,799
Speaker 1: twenty three Eastern Conference Finals, Caleb Martin did. He was

1230
00:54:43,800 --> 00:54:45,799
Speaker 1: with the heat. He averaged like nineteen points per game.

1231
00:54:45,840 --> 00:54:47,480
Speaker 1: He like couldn't miss a three. He was like florting

1232
00:54:47,560 --> 00:54:49,640
Speaker 1: with fifty percent from deep in that series. Then he

1233
00:54:49,719 --> 00:54:52,719
Speaker 1: kept it going this season. Remember on Christmas Day he

1234
00:54:52,800 --> 00:54:54,880
Speaker 1: hit seven threes against them. He was on the sixers

1235
00:54:54,880 --> 00:54:58,160
Speaker 1: at that point. So the Magic need their own Caleb Martin.

1236
00:54:58,400 --> 00:55:01,560
Speaker 1: So who is it? Cole Anthe I think is a candidate.

1237
00:55:01,600 --> 00:55:05,080
Speaker 1: You know, that rational confidence guy Kntavious Caldwell. Pope has

1238
00:55:05,080 --> 00:55:07,279
Speaker 1: shot a lot better from three since the All Star Break.

1239
00:55:07,320 --> 00:55:09,799
Speaker 1: It's like forty four percent from three. They're gonna need

1240
00:55:09,880 --> 00:55:13,560
Speaker 1: those games. And maybe Anthony Black he would be third

1241
00:55:13,560 --> 00:55:15,520
Speaker 1: on my list for catching fire from distance, but he

1242
00:55:15,560 --> 00:55:17,799
Speaker 1: just went three for three in that playing game that

1243
00:55:17,880 --> 00:55:19,759
Speaker 1: he had against the Hawks. So they just need they

1244
00:55:19,760 --> 00:55:21,440
Speaker 1: need one of these special guys or like these like

1245
00:55:21,480 --> 00:55:23,880
Speaker 1: out of nowhere guys to go with Powell and Frands

1246
00:55:23,920 --> 00:55:26,799
Speaker 1: that are hopefully bringing their I don't know, at least

1247
00:55:26,800 --> 00:55:29,640
Speaker 1: fifty plus points for you. They need a Caleb Martin.

1248
00:55:30,400 --> 00:55:33,359
Speaker 1: Caleb Martin, they do. They do, someone that the that

1249
00:55:33,440 --> 00:55:35,480
Speaker 1: the Celtics sort of don't game plan for and don't

1250
00:55:35,480 --> 00:55:37,600
Speaker 1: worry about, but just can't miss for whatever reason over

1251
00:55:37,640 --> 00:55:38,560
Speaker 1: a seven game stretch.

1252
00:55:38,880 --> 00:55:39,600
Speaker 2: Caleb Houston.

1253
00:55:40,200 --> 00:55:44,120
Speaker 1: Caleb Houston is Okay, I like it. He doesn't see

1254
00:55:44,120 --> 00:55:45,640
Speaker 1: a lot of birds, but he does get in there.

1255
00:55:46,080 --> 00:55:46,680
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1256
00:55:47,160 --> 00:55:51,560
Speaker 1: Okay, that's good, good, that's really good. Okay, Caleb Houston,

1257
00:55:51,640 --> 00:55:54,439
Speaker 1: come on up and good old Canadian boy. Okay. Predictions. Look,

1258
00:55:54,520 --> 00:55:56,720
Speaker 1: I think we're tipping our hands here. Everybody's taking the Celtics.

1259
00:55:56,719 --> 00:55:59,040
Speaker 1: But can the Magic avoid a sweep? Or make this

1260
00:55:59,120 --> 00:56:00,399
Speaker 1: a series where you're going, I do.

1261
00:56:00,400 --> 00:56:02,600
Speaker 3: Not think they can avoid the sweep. I think the

1262
00:56:02,640 --> 00:56:06,320
Speaker 3: Celtics flashback to last year Round one against the Miami Heat.

1263
00:56:06,480 --> 00:56:08,520
Speaker 3: They gave up one game in that series.

1264
00:56:08,800 --> 00:56:09,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, second game.

1265
00:56:09,680 --> 00:56:12,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, Yeah, that was embarrassing for the Boston Celtics. So

1266
00:56:12,840 --> 00:56:14,880
Speaker 3: I think they have that as a motivator, and I

1267
00:56:14,920 --> 00:56:17,319
Speaker 3: just think we do skip over that. Yes, we think

1268
00:56:17,320 --> 00:56:19,359
Speaker 3: about them as a three point shooting team, but their

1269
00:56:19,400 --> 00:56:21,520
Speaker 3: defense is so damn good. Yeah, so that's going to

1270
00:56:21,560 --> 00:56:23,360
Speaker 3: be hard for the Magic to overcome. They're the fourth

1271
00:56:23,360 --> 00:56:25,640
Speaker 3: best defense in this league.

1272
00:56:26,239 --> 00:56:28,239
Speaker 1: Along with it, sounds like we could be seeing some

1273
00:56:29,600 --> 00:56:31,799
Speaker 1: I hope not too many, but some one ten to

1274
00:56:31,880 --> 00:56:35,600
Speaker 1: eighty two type scores here or something like that. I

1275
00:56:35,640 --> 00:56:38,680
Speaker 1: think so a couple. Hopefully we'll get a handful of those.

1276
00:56:38,719 --> 00:56:40,799
Speaker 1: But okay, you got to sweep Celtics and four get

1277
00:56:40,800 --> 00:56:41,799
Speaker 1: the brooms out where you're going?

1278
00:56:42,000 --> 00:56:44,400
Speaker 2: Well, rather than a who do you think is going

1279
00:56:44,440 --> 00:56:46,239
Speaker 2: to win the series? Pull for the stream team and

1280
00:56:46,239 --> 00:56:47,920
Speaker 2: I went with how many games are the Magic going

1281
00:56:48,000 --> 00:56:51,000
Speaker 2: to win in this series? Zero to three? And I'm

1282
00:56:51,000 --> 00:56:52,799
Speaker 2: gonna side with the people here. I'll give them one

1283
00:56:52,840 --> 00:56:56,440
Speaker 2: game forty seven percent of people responding think that the

1284
00:56:56,480 --> 00:56:58,960
Speaker 2: Magic will win one game in this series twenty five

1285
00:56:58,960 --> 00:57:01,600
Speaker 2: percent for two. Twenty one percent think we got to

1286
00:57:01,640 --> 00:57:03,960
Speaker 2: sweep on our hands in five percent think we're going

1287
00:57:04,000 --> 00:57:06,560
Speaker 2: to game seven babies. So give me Celtics in five.

1288
00:57:06,680 --> 00:57:08,960
Speaker 2: There'll be one game where maybe they go Bozo mode

1289
00:57:09,000 --> 00:57:10,279
Speaker 2: and Orlando is good.

1290
00:57:10,360 --> 00:57:12,560
Speaker 1: Yep, I'm one hundred percent with you. I think it's

1291
00:57:12,560 --> 00:57:15,000
Speaker 1: Celtics and five. I actually could see a gentleman sweep

1292
00:57:15,000 --> 00:57:18,320
Speaker 1: and play here, a classic Celtics up three zero and

1293
00:57:18,320 --> 00:57:20,400
Speaker 1: maybe a Magic get that last one. But I like

1294
00:57:20,440 --> 00:57:23,600
Speaker 1: Boston and five. They have given up a game last season. Obviously,

1295
00:57:23,600 --> 00:57:25,640
Speaker 1: the Hawks took two the season prior to that first rounds.

1296
00:57:25,640 --> 00:57:28,280
Speaker 1: I'm looking at here, so it happens they're off for

1297
00:57:28,320 --> 00:57:31,160
Speaker 1: a long time here too, Maybe a little rust factor.

1298
00:57:31,200 --> 00:57:33,160
Speaker 1: You got the jail and Brown knee injury factor. So

1299
00:57:33,360 --> 00:57:35,960
Speaker 1: Celtics and five, esh, where are you going with this one?

1300
00:57:37,080 --> 00:57:38,400
Speaker 4: You already know what my answer is.

1301
00:57:38,680 --> 00:57:43,200
Speaker 1: Celtics in four in four okay, sweepy okay, two sweeps.

1302
00:57:44,080 --> 00:57:46,480
Speaker 1: Let's hear all your thoughts on both those series. Did

1303
00:57:46,520 --> 00:57:49,120
Speaker 1: you have the numbers on what the people thought for Warriors.

1304
00:57:48,840 --> 00:57:52,120
Speaker 2: Rockets I forgot to say it. Fifty six percent choose Warriors.

1305
00:57:52,200 --> 00:57:55,040
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, yeah, okay, it's forty three pretty tight.

1306
00:57:55,160 --> 00:57:56,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's good.

1307
00:57:56,520 --> 00:57:58,960
Speaker 1: That's good. People are torn, all right, we'll call it

1308
00:57:59,000 --> 00:58:01,000
Speaker 1: there a bit of a quicker show if you're a

1321
00:58:35,560 --> 00:58:37,880
Speaker 1: Make sure you subscribe, hit that little notification bell so

1322
00:58:37,920 --> 00:58:40,720
Speaker 1: you know when we're going live. But yeah, we gotta

1323
00:58:40,720 --> 00:58:43,400
Speaker 1: figure out what we're doing on the drop tomorrow. Are there

1324
00:58:43,440 --> 00:58:44,640
Speaker 1: Worst of the week nominees?

1325
00:58:45,360 --> 00:58:49,200
Speaker 3: They're always okay, Okay, if you're listening to the internet talk,

1326
00:58:49,640 --> 00:58:51,560
Speaker 3: you can just make one up that they say, Oh

1327
00:58:51,560 --> 00:58:57,000
Speaker 3: that's terrible. No, I don't have any good pull out.

1328
00:58:57,000 --> 00:58:59,960
Speaker 1: How about pulling out your cocaine baggy on live television.

1329
00:59:00,920 --> 00:59:03,600
Speaker 3: Now you're doing exactly what the interveet I said it.

1330
00:59:04,040 --> 00:59:08,120
Speaker 1: That's the misinformation. We don't know what was Jean I

1331
00:59:08,160 --> 00:59:09,280
Speaker 1: heard for the spaghetti guy.

1332
00:59:09,440 --> 00:59:11,280
Speaker 3: Well, that would make sense. I believe it.

1333
00:59:11,320 --> 00:59:15,520
Speaker 1: Different arenas, but yeah, that's true. Okay, So maybe worse

1334
00:59:15,560 --> 00:59:17,480
Speaker 1: the week, Maybe we'll do some award talk. Who knows,

1335
00:59:17,520 --> 00:59:19,880
Speaker 1: maybe we'll just do Big Picture for the obviously postseason

1336
00:59:19,880 --> 00:59:23,200
Speaker 1: that really starts on Saturday and Sunday. Lots to dig into,

1337
00:59:23,440 --> 00:59:26,120
Speaker 1: but we'll find out tomorrow. We'll start building it right

1338
00:59:26,160 --> 00:59:28,640
Speaker 1: after this show. Until then, Clipper Rose.

1343
00:59:39,200 --> 00:59:44,560

1344
00:59:44,640 --> 00:59:48,800
Speaker 3: you know, okay, I didn't make it this far stay

1345
00:59:48,840 --> 00:59:51,080
Speaker 3: as far as a weird weird word at the end

1346
00:59:51,080 --> 00:59:51,200
Speaker 3: of it.

1347
00:59:51,400 --> 00:59:55,040
