Speaker 4: also discuss a little later what's next for the Cleveland Cavaliers.

17
00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 3: But first some numbers.

18
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 4: Fifty one points to close out Atlanta in the first round,

19
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:10,319
Speaker 4: thirty in Philadelphia, thirty seven in Cleveland. Karl Anthony Towns

20
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:13,679
Speaker 4: nineteen points, fourteen rebounds, OG scored seventeen as the Knicks

21
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 4: routed the Calves one thirty to ninety three Monday night

22
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:20,040
Speaker 4: to complete the four game sweep of the Eastern Conference

23
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:23,680
Speaker 4: Finals and advance to the NBA Finals for the first time.

24
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 3: Since ninety nine.

25
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 4: New York became the fourth team to have an eleven

26
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 4: game win streak during the postseason. It's crazy. And all

27
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 4: of their wins, all but one of their wins, I

28
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 4: should say, have been by double digits. So they are

29
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:42,120
Speaker 4: just kicking ass right now, running rampage through the Eastern

30
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 4: Conference as they go to the NBA Finals. We can

31
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 4: dissect this game a little bit. It was over in

32
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 4: a hurry. I mean, it was a decent start for

33
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 4: the Calves.

34
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 3: Calves had six good minutes. I saw the Knicks were

35
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 3: ready to play for forty eight and it was one,

36
00:01:57,680 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 3: two three cancud.

37
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's so I think you're right, because like, oh man,

38
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 4: they're trying to well see you next year. Yeah.

39
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 3: Yeah.

40
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 4: They got the ball like early to Mobili on the

41
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 4: move and he kissed it off the glass and he

42
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 4: hit a three, and then Mitchell had some sort of

43
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 4: no hesitation threes.

44
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 3: Yeah.

45
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 4: But then you like looked up the score and you're

46
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 4: like oh, they're only up one. Yeah, Like they were scoring,

47
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 4: but so were the Knicks, and they were like running

48
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 4: it down their throat. And that was a big takeaway

49
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 4: task the transition point, the.

50
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 2: Running, the running that they basically doubled their amount of

51
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 2: fast breakpoints from the game before they went from seventeen

52
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 2: in Game three to thirty three in Game four. Super

53
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 2: disappointing that you just saw every single replay they showed

54
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 2: was one member of the New York Knicks beating one

55
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 2: member of the Cleveland Cavaliers over and over.

56
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 4: Everybody like Bridges Brunson leaking out o g ananobia ga.

57
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 2: That one at that time that Brunson did it, I

58
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 2: mean he was in the paint for the Cleveland Cavaliers

59
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 2: before Dean Wade passed the mid court line. Like that

60
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:59,360
Speaker 2: was far. That wasn't just a sprint, but that was

61
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,799
Speaker 2: you know what trade was alluding to. One team was

62
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 2: playing hard and the other one said a well, we

63
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,239
Speaker 2: don't got this. I mean, well, we lost game one,

64
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:10,920
Speaker 2: I guess. Then then when Game three crumbled and they

65
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 2: were sprinting more than us in Game three, that was

66
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 2: the end of it. It sure feels like they're ready to

67
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 2: play for six minutes. The offense was all right, oh

68
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 2: here comes on, I know, and you're looking good at

69
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:23,240
Speaker 2: six minutesteen sixteen, come on, ye looking nice, And there

70
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 2: was a one shot. I don't know if you guys

71
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 2: saw the the Donovan Mitchell yelling at his team, you know,

72
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:32,080
Speaker 2: in their huddle, trying to get them going. So he

73
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 2: was trying, he was trying, they were trying.

74
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 4: It just wasn't a good look that you know. They

75
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 4: said it on the broadcast that Kenny Atkinson's number one

76
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 4: priority heading into game four. Oh yeah, in a do

77
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 4: or die game was transition defense.

78
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was the opposite.

79
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was the opposite.

80
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 4: They had thirteen fast break points in the first quarter,

81
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 4: the Knicks did, and as they kept piling them on

82
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 4: TK your takeaway.

83
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 3: I mean, it was twenty sixty three fast break points

84
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 3: at the half, and these were not fast break points

85
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 3: off of turnover or stops. It would be like the

86
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 3: ball would just get out and like you're saying, whoever

87
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 3: was guarding the calve who took the three pointer free

88
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 3: lay up on the other end, except for Jalen Bruns

89
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 3: and he wanted a dunk, was trying to get his

90
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 3: first playoff dunk and just couldn't get those fingertips over.

91
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:16,359
Speaker 4: They didn't count it as a dunk in the box.

92
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 3: He doesn't have a dunk on basketball, right, Yeah, but

93
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 3: uh yeah, I mean they just destroyed it. Andrew Shammitt

94
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:25,720
Speaker 3: got a bang in the third quarter for putting the

95
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 3: Knicks up twenty nine.

96
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,360
Speaker 2: I'm not good at dunk scores that the NBA does,

97
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 2: but let's say Jalen Brunson dunked it. It's not pretty obviously,

98
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 2: but you know, is there a circumstantial pointing bump up

99
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 2: because you know they're going to the NBA Finals for

100
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 2: one time?

101
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 3: Cold hard data?

102
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:49,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, and then even when the Calv's like, okay,

103
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:52,720
Speaker 4: maybe started to get some stops in transition, then the

104
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 4: Knicks just started throwing all oops to Mitchell Robinson. That

105
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:58,160
Speaker 4: was my favorite sequence there of that Quarner. It was

106
00:04:58,200 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 4: like he come up, set a brush screen, just screw

107
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 4: to the front of the rim. Yep, throw it up.

108
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:03,919
Speaker 4: He had a couple of those, and then yeah, in

109
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 4: the second quarter it continue. I mean, we had a

110
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 4: twenty to oh Nicks run, just like we had those

111
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 4: big runs in prior games in this series. The eighteen

112
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 4: to oh the eighteen to one. This one was a

113
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 4: twenty zero run over a five minute span there in

114
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 4: the first first half, end of the first quarter, in

115
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:19,599
Speaker 4: the second quarter, and the second quarter was like, yeah,

116
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 4: Nick started cash in threes, Jose Alvarado started like getting steals,

117
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 4: and they're going in the other way. They just stealing

118
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,480
Speaker 4: the Kavs lunch money. And then yeah, kat Cat had

119
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 4: a huge put back dunk and the lead had suddenly

120
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,160
Speaker 4: ballooned to twenty five points. And the New York Faithful

121
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 4: in attendance, and there were a lot of them, or

122
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:39,039
Speaker 4: at least a very vocal contingent there in Cleveland. It

123
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:40,840
Speaker 4: was a party for the rest of the night.

124
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a third straight playoff round that has ended

125
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 3: with Madison Square Garden ending up in a completely different state.

126
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 3: It's been in Georgia, it's been in Pennsylvania, and it

127
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:54,719
Speaker 3: was in Ohio. Pretty impressive. I mean, it makes sense.

128
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 3: New York is the biggest city in the United States, ergo,

129
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 3: there are transplants everywhere. Plus Knicks fans will try they

130
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 3: just can't sit in the front row, which was pretty

131
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:04,480
Speaker 3: so Weirdson.

132
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,279
Speaker 4: Felt like it made me feel like this does not

133
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:09,840
Speaker 4: seem right, and.

134
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:11,479
Speaker 3: All of them, like you said, yeah, buried in the

135
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 3: second row. Second row Knicks fans, first time in their

136
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 3: lives they've had to sit in the second row. But

137
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 3: uh yeah, I mean just a complete beat down here.

138
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,279
Speaker 3: Three straight conference finals for Karl Anthony Towns. First time

139
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:24,719
Speaker 3: he's making the finals. I thought worthy to go with

140
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 3: the tough guy voice in the postgame party on the

141
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,840
Speaker 3: Cavs court. There one last slappy gym for the road.

142
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:35,040
Speaker 3: You know, more turnovers than made shots for James Harden.

143
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 3: He did it seven times during this playoffs alone. Pretty impressive.

144
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:39,839
Speaker 2: Wow.

145
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, people been pointing to James Harden's playoff

146
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 3: performances for a long time, but this is next level.

147
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 3: Sounds very weird, man, What a weird season for the Caves.

148
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 3: They made the conference finals. Yeah, that was like the

149
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 3: whole goal of the season.

150
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 2: But yeah, yeah, but when you're up twenty two in

151
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 2: the fourth quarter of Game one, then at all crumbled

152
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 2: from there. If they went in game one, then it's

153
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:07,600
Speaker 2: probably looked at as a huge accomplishment for the Castle.

154
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 2: Knows what happens is they still got to there. But

155
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 2: we mentioned Karl Antony Towns a couple of times. That

156
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 2: guy deserves a ton of credit and a ton of

157
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 2: applause because he always gets ridiciculed. He's always the punching peg.

158
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 2: This guy's got to step up offensively. He's got to

159
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 2: score more. He's not masculine enough. Whatever the heck that

160
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 2: means that he gets on social media. But he has

161
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 2: absolutely evolved into this piece where he doesn't need to

162
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 2: score twenty five points. He is just the center of

163
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 2: this team in terms of moving the ball. They just

164
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 2: got it all going on together. He's a great defender.

165
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 2: You could argue he's been their best defender this postseason.

166
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 2: Something else. He just receives so much ridicule for what

167
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 2: a performance by him. They just needed to go down

168
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 2: to one in that opening round series. Whether you give

169
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 2: the credit to Mike Brown for turning this team around

170
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 2: or just those guys in the locker room for having

171
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 2: their backs against the wall and decide and all right,

172
00:07:57,560 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 2: let's switch this up a little bit. Everybody get involved.

173
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 2: A lot of it has to go to Mike Brown

174
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 2: for getting Karl Anton Towns more on the perimeter to

175
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 2: be in that hub, to making everybody involved, but everybody

176
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 2: performing top to bottom nobody scored twenty for them in

177
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 2: a thirty seven point YEA.

178
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 3: That is true. It did feel like there was five

179
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 3: guys who could have probably gone for twenty if they

180
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 3: actually had to play this entire game. But yeah, I

181
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 3: give Mike Brown a ton of credit for making the

182
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 3: offense way more evenly distributed amongst everybody, because doing that

183
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 3: makes everybody want to play hard on both ends. And

184
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:35,679
Speaker 3: suddenly Karl Anthony Towns cares about playing defense because he's

185
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:37,559
Speaker 3: going to touch the ball every possession rather than just

186
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 3: watch Brunson dribble it. So Brunson's still the head of

187
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 3: the Snake, but elevating Towns in the hierarchy elevated everybody

188
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 3: else and locked in this team as a team that

189
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,839
Speaker 3: really believes they can win. And like, heading to the finals,

190
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 3: they're going to be the underdogs for sure against whoever

191
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,319
Speaker 3: comes out of the Western Conference. But the Knicks are

192
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 3: the healthiest they've been in like three seasons. It feels

193
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:00,679
Speaker 3: like right now we don't know what the the thunder

194
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,440
Speaker 3: are gonna look like when they get through their hellacious series,

195
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:06,680
Speaker 3: Nicks are gonna at least win a couple of games

196
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 3: in the finals. They're playing incredibly Well.

197
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, like this isn't them squeaking by here in like

198
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,080
Speaker 4: seven game series where they look bad at times, Like

199
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 4: this is just an ass kicking. They are dominating these

200
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 4: teams on the road in closeout games. Toughest thing to do.

201
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 4: Put these teams to bed, and they do it in

202
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 4: like they do it in like thirteen minutes like whatever.

203
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:28,679
Speaker 4: Like in the the Hawks close out game, they were

204
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 4: up twenty like an eleven minutes. Same thing against Philly.

205
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 4: This one took a little bit longer, heaven forbid, you know,

206
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:37,080
Speaker 4: like fourteen minutes, let's call it. So they just yeah,

207
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:39,679
Speaker 4: the chemistry is off the charts. Everything is clicking.

208
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 3: Now.

209
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:43,080
Speaker 4: They have a big break here, it's a week plus

210
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 4: before Game one of the NBA Finals. They're not moving

211
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 4: that everybody. They're not bumping it up. Heaven forbid. You know,

212
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 4: the Western Conference Finals ends in six or something. No,

213
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 4: it's gonna start on June third, on Wednesday. So this

214
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 4: is a long time. Just like they had a huge

215
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 4: break between the Sixers and cast series. Yeah, did they

216
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 4: come out sluggish maybe in Game one, yes, but obviously

217
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 4: stormed back and they're just gonna try and repeat this.

218
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 4: But I mean Nicks fans have a whole a whole

219
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 4: week here, a week plus to convince themselves we can,

220
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 4: of course win four more games. And at this point,

221
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:16,080
Speaker 4: I know the talent goes up a level or two

222
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 4: compared to what you're seeing in the East in neither

223
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,079
Speaker 4: of the Thunder or Spurs. But they're also just playing

224
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 4: elite basketball right now on both ends. So it's gonna

225
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 4: be a competitive series finals, like because we sort of

226
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 4: thought that a little bit last year with the Pacers,

227
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:31,080
Speaker 4: even like, wow, how do Pacers get there? They had

228
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 4: a lot of lucky breaks, say, a lot of injuries

229
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:35,440
Speaker 4: happened against other teams in the East. They're gonna get

230
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 4: destroyed by the Thunder, not at all. I mean a

231
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 4: seven game series where maybe a Hallimerton injury doesn't even

232
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 4: happen and they win the whole thing. So get ahead

233
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:45,319
Speaker 4: of myself. Can't wait to break that down. But we're

234
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:48,200
Speaker 4: gonna have a lot of time to do a deep dive.

235
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 3: Is gonna be going nuts many he is a week

236
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 3: to just wax about the Knicks going to the finals.

237
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:55,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's crazy, that's pretty fun.

238
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 4: Jalen Brunson was named the MVP of the series. We

239
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:02,719
Speaker 4: were I guess lightly debating. Is there any chance for

240
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:05,719
Speaker 4: anybody else to win this thing? Eastern Conference Finals? MVP? No,

241
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 4: he got it. He got all nine votes. I believe

242
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:11,080
Speaker 4: love seeing some of our guys on the ballot with

243
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 4: an actual vote. Schumann of course, right, Timmy good Times,

244
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 4: Von Temps, Dan Devine, give me a hug.

245
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:18,559
Speaker 2: How about that?

246
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:20,319
Speaker 4: I mean, just keep going and going. Love that and

247
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 4: really good. I think they got it right. Brunson didn't

248
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:24,679
Speaker 4: have to play in the fourth quarter, but he averaged

249
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:28,320
Speaker 4: twenty six point eight sixs and was instrumental in the

250
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:31,680
Speaker 4: game one comeback. So is James Harden, so was Kenny

251
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:34,320
Speaker 4: Kenny Akinson not calling time outs and maybe switching up

252
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 4: the defense. But yeah, Brunson gets it and four more

253
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 4: wins and he's the greatest Nick of all time, modern

254
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:44,440
Speaker 4: day modern day short, yes, yes, yes.

255
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean the greatest Nick that anyone alive has

256
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 3: ever seen play. You could say fair because literally every

257
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 3: Knicks fan you've ever met has never seen the Knicks

258
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:52,680
Speaker 3: win a title.

259
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:55,840
Speaker 4: For the most part, yeah yeah, you're going back a

260
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:57,440
Speaker 4: long time man seventy seventy three.

261
00:11:57,600 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh yeah. Unless Hub Brown was a Knicks fan,

262
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 2: I mean, I guess.

263
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 4: Mike Breen, Mike Breen has.

264
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:06,840
Speaker 3: That's a great point, your close friend, Mike Breen.

265
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 4: Yes, what else from this one before we get into

266
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 4: random notes.

267
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 2: I will say you mentioned Jaylen Brounson getting it in

268
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:18,679
Speaker 2: the post game ceremony. I thought the best part of

269
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 2: post game ceremony was Landry Shammitt getting that huge yell

270
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 2: and scream from everybody in that arena, just getting the

271
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 2: support of every Knicks fan in there. Because this is

272
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 2: a guy who played so good defensively in this series.

273
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 2: There's questions at the beginning of the season whether or

274
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 2: not he'd be on the roster. Malcolm Brogden announced his

275
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,720
Speaker 2: retirement and Landry Shammitt was on the roster instead in

276
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:43,319
Speaker 2: this game. In this series, we all questioned his defense.

277
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 2: The guy can blow up a pick and roll really

278
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 2: really well or hedge and recover. He was doing such

279
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:51,720
Speaker 2: a good job. I thought the guard guard pick and

280
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 2: roll combo for the Cavs would help, but Landry Shammitt

281
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 2: was really really good. So to hear all those Knicks

282
00:12:57,520 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 2: fans that was pretty cool, you know, Josh Hart making

283
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 2: sure it went to l Andry Shammitt to get lots

284
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 2: of love. That was awesome.

285
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 4: He was great defensively. He also didn't miss a three

286
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:08,440
Speaker 4: in the entire series, so pretty good a level. He

287
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 4: did miss a three. Correction, he was eleven of twelve.

288
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 4: Yeah from Deep.

289
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 2: Swap Wild you swapped Landry Shammitt and Sam Maryll. Like

290
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:17,320
Speaker 2: if Sam Maryl hit some shots, this is a different

291
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 2: series over on the other side, Like he needs to

292
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 2: hit a shot or two in the first, second game,

293
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:23,560
Speaker 2: the second game.

294
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, Merril was brutal. Strus was brutal. The Cavs I

295
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 3: think shot under thirty percent from three during this entire series.

296
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:33,839
Speaker 3: The only Nick who didn't shoot the ball well for

297
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 3: three was Brunton and he got Eastern Conference. Yeah, exactly,

298
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 3: they had They had five guys in double digits and

299
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 3: then Shammitt's at nine point eight points per game as well.

300
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 3: He was ridiculous. It's not just a straight beat down.

301
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, Schumann showed on Blue Sky last night. Shammitt has

302
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 4: some somehow surpassed the Van Vliet after having a kid

303
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 4: level of playoff shooting. That's where Shamman's at Smitt is that?

304
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 3: Excuse me?

305
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, Van Vleet after he had a kid.

306
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 2: Totally I was thinking exacts thing shoe, thank you for

307
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,440
Speaker 2: your blue sky, thank you for your blue Skotch Shooman.

308
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 4: I can't believe I'm going to say this, and I

309
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:10,080
Speaker 4: don't really want to, but got to give it up

310
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 4: to James Dolan. In January, he jumps on the radio.

311
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 4: He says, we want to get to the finals. We

312
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 4: should win the finals. This is sports. Anything can happen getting.

313
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 3: To the finals.

314
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 4: We absolutely have to do winning the finals. We should do.

315
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 4: You know, this is when the Knicks were like struggling. Yeah,

316
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 4: is when they had that like that two to nine stretch.

317
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 4: No a lot of us if you come back and

318
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 4: watch the No Dunks podcast, we were like, let's not

319
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 4: freak out here. This is a classic doldrum of the

320
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 4: NBA season. They're a good team. This happens two really

321
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 4: good teams. No one thought they were going to rip

322
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 4: off an eleven game win streak in the postseason. But

323
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 4: you get my point. But it looked like a bit

324
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 4: of a kiss of death here from Dolan, like, oh no,

325
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 4: you stayed so quiet, You've done all the right moves,

326
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 4: you've been in the background, and why are you saying this?

327
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 4: But of course it comes true, they're going to the finals.

328
00:14:56,480 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 4: And before that, Dolan, by all accounts, spearheaded the firing

329
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 4: of a very popular coach in Tom Thibodeaux. Dolan said,

330
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 4: or believe that Tibbs was wearing down his players every season,

331
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:10,480
Speaker 4: and his hard driving style was sort of having an

332
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 4: impact maybe on them physically as well as mentally in

333
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 4: some of these breakdowns that we saw in the losses

334
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 4: to the Pacers in the postseason two years prior. So

335
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 4: I guess the third thing is he didn't put up

336
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 4: the NBA Cup banner, and we said you got to

337
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 4: respect it.

338
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 3: James, he said, no.

339
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 4: Interesting, So right now everything working well for James Dolan

340
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 4: and Leon Rose and Worldwide West and all these moves they'd.

341
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 3: Made, do less. You know that turns out to be

342
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 3: do less and your voice will actually carry some weight

343
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 3: when it matters. And I guess it did matter with

344
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 3: the Tibbs thing, because the Knicks talked to every coach available.

345
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 3: Several coaches got extensions because the Knicks wanted to hire him,

346
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 3: and eventually they just came around to Mike Brown. He

347
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 3: didn't change anything, it felt like for eighty nine games,

348
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 3: and then it was like, wait a second, what if

349
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 3: everybody touches the ball and it completely changed the way

350
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:02,920
Speaker 3: the Knicks. This is awesome for them. They might actually

351
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 3: snap the Cup curse. First team to win the Cup

352
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 3: and play for the championship and in the same year, do.

353
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 4: You think Silver is hoping that the Spurs also make

354
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 4: it out of the West, so it would be a

355
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 4: rematch of the NBA Cup in the.

356
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:20,760
Speaker 2: Sure, sure Adam Adam would be the only one happy

357
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 2: with that. But yeah, this is such an interesting season

358
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 2: because we all talked about Janisterombo being destined for the

359
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 2: New York Knicks, and I don't think I'm speaking in

360
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 2: recency bias, but sure feels like they ain't going to

361
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:36,680
Speaker 2: do a thing about trying to get yanistd to Goombo. No, no,

362
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 2: how would they even trade anybody in what circumstances they

363
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:43,680
Speaker 2: have to get swept off the floor in the finals

364
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 2: by like thirty five a game, It's unlikely. So that's dead.

365
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 3: Not with new Carl out there. Carl, I'm loving this guy.

366
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 3: Passes the ball, he's got that deep voice, he plays defense,

367
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 3: he does literally everything that everyone wanted from Karl Anthony

368
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 3: Towns from the first ten years of his career. But

369
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 3: he locked in and it completely changed the way the

370
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 3: next look, it's awesome.

371
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean all the moves they've made over the

372
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 4: last couple of years. I mean it starts with Brunson.

373
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:11,119
Speaker 4: You get Brunson on the obviously, the family discount deal

374
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 4: was huge and stealing him from the Mavericks, and then

375
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:18,199
Speaker 4: you know, you start to build around him and everybody going, oh,

376
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:20,359
Speaker 4: can you win with a guy that's only like six

377
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:22,719
Speaker 4: feet tall. Well, you know, they're at the NBA Finals.

378
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:24,960
Speaker 4: He's a rock, he's a star. But then all the

379
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:26,680
Speaker 4: things they did, trade a bunch of draft capital for

380
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 4: Miguil Bridges, who started slowly this postseason and now can't miss.

381
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:32,119
Speaker 4: And we'll show you the graphic, the hilarious graphic that

382
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 4: they had last night in Game four. Oh, Jannonobie, they

383
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 4: make that trade big. I mean, this guy's now looking

384
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:41,119
Speaker 4: more and more healthy. He's throwing down dunks left and

385
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 4: right here suddenly, yeah, he gets more of a break.

386
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:46,920
Speaker 4: The Karl Anthony town swapping Julius Randall before the start

387
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 4: of the season, I mean that was like sort of

388
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 4: out of nowhere. That has worked out, of course, Josh

389
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 4: Hard they acquired I mean all these pieces they basically

390
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 4: traded for outside of the Brunson signing, and then you know,

391
00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:58,879
Speaker 4: I guess Mitchell Romson was a draft pick and he

392
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:01,600
Speaker 4: plays well too. So they've done a great job putting

393
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:05,400
Speaker 4: this team together, especially around especially around Brunson and Kat

394
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 4: Limited guys defensively, play hard, try hard, but then just

395
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:12,639
Speaker 4: surround them by a bunch of like incredible wing defenders

396
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:15,920
Speaker 4: that can contribute offensively too. It's a good recipe here.

397
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:19,679
Speaker 2: Yes, and again, going down to to one in that

398
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:24,200
Speaker 2: first round, that aperture just opened up. I just visualized

399
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:27,359
Speaker 2: that the transition you see when you're watching something. You

400
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:29,760
Speaker 2: see the little aperture opened up, and they just started

401
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:33,879
Speaker 2: using the ball way more around the perimeter, and that

402
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 2: just got everybody involved on both ends. And then Ogi

403
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:38,879
Speaker 2: went down with an injury, and there's a little bit

404
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:40,680
Speaker 2: of worry about that whether or not he'd be back,

405
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 2: And that's what this Conference finals was also good for

406
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:46,560
Speaker 2: the fact that you mentioned Oji just getting back to normal.

407
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:51,160
Speaker 2: Now feels like they're totally healthy. Mitchie Mitch, even as

408
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 2: a backup, we always questioned his health. YEP, they're totally

409
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:58,040
Speaker 2: totally stacked and ready for eight days from now. Feels

410
00:18:58,040 --> 00:18:59,400
Speaker 2: like a long time. Feels like we're in the NFL

411
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 2: where we got a lot of time off for this

412
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:06,200
Speaker 2: specific team medium row. Yeah so the final or excuse me,

413
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 2: the Western Conference Finals can only go until Saturday. Yeah,

414
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:11,960
Speaker 2: so still feels like the NFL. You know, like there's

415
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:13,240
Speaker 2: a good amount of time, Like there's a.

416
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:15,359
Speaker 3: Yeah if you have like a Pro Bowl in between

417
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:18,920
Speaker 3: this in the start of the finals all the other Well,

418
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:21,920
Speaker 3: there's twenty seven teams that are eliminated. Let's see who

419
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:24,160
Speaker 3: can run the fastest one lane to the other.

420
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:27,440
Speaker 4: It's a good idea free throw contest. Yeah, sure, totally

421
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:30,920
Speaker 4: sure contest. Some fun idea is out there? Anything else

422
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:32,960
Speaker 4: on this game? Again, We're gonna talk about the calves

423
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:34,399
Speaker 4: a little bit later in the show, and we got

424
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:37,359
Speaker 4: some random notes, but anything else about game four or

425
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 4: what you saw there.

426
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 3: I guess this is technically a game note. We got

427
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:43,760
Speaker 3: close to a weggie. Oh, we got close to a weggie. Oh.

428
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:45,479
Speaker 3: Gana no be blocked at the rim, I think by

429
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:50,119
Speaker 3: Jared Allen hesitated. It was a ball hesitation, but it

430
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:52,400
Speaker 3: popped out. They didn't call, didn't call it, didn't call

431
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:54,160
Speaker 3: us for the jump ball, as was trying to get

432
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:56,439
Speaker 3: us to count it since we've been such a drought.

433
00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 3: But I mean, it's quite realistic that we make it

434
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:01,480
Speaker 3: through three round of the playoffs with no wedgies.

435
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:04,119
Speaker 2: But that was so close, very very close, super close.

436
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:09,120
Speaker 4: Okay, let's get into some other random notes from game

437
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 4: four random. I don't have a ton for this one,

438
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 4: but let's show you the McHale Bridges graphic that they

439
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 4: showed during game four. He was shooting sixty nine percent.

440
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 4: Very nice, sixty nine for one hundred. They were including

441
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:30,479
Speaker 4: that game. They were so excited to show this graphic

442
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 4: that they were updating his stats mid game four because.

443
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:36,920
Speaker 3: Oh my god, he's sixty nine for one hundred. That's

444
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:38,560
Speaker 3: sixty nine percent. Throw it up.

445
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:41,200
Speaker 4: So there, that is nice.

446
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 2: Very Didn't hear Richard Jefferson say nice.

447
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 4: I was shocked by that's pretty amazing. Yeah, great restraint

448
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:50,520
Speaker 4: by Richard Jefferson.

449
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:51,720
Speaker 3: Nice, Yeah, he loves it.

450
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:53,200
Speaker 2: Nice shocking.

451
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 4: There was the play where Karl Anthony Towns he got

452
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 4: called for a foul but he thought he had a

453
00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:00,240
Speaker 4: clean steal and went on the fast break through out

454
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 4: like the windmill cat dunk. They didn't count, like I said,

455
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:07,120
Speaker 4: But then they showed him and on Cat's jersey. He's

456
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:10,720
Speaker 4: got the the Jalen Brown like smudge. Was Jalen Brown

457
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:13,600
Speaker 4: in attendance and wiping his head on everybody there. It

458
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 4: is nice enhanced JD. So immediately what I thought of,

459
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 4: I don't know. I don't know how he got it though,

460
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 4: and I'm not sure he was asked about it.

461
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, similar location to where Jalen Brown smeared a jersey

462
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 2: this year.

463
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, a guy on offense like puts his head down

464
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:30,840
Speaker 4: right and tries to create some room. So who's the

465
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:36,760
Speaker 4: who's the who's the guilty paint job on the caves?

466
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:39,160
Speaker 3: You can rule out James Harden, Yeah, you can rule

467
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:41,639
Speaker 3: out Jared Allen. Yeah, you can rule out all the

468
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:42,120
Speaker 3: white guys.

469
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:46,040
Speaker 4: Yeah. So does that leave Jonavan, Mitchell.

470
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 3: Mitchell, Mobley, and Shrewder You had illness Mitchell or Mobley,

471
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 3: I would go Mitchell.

472
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:54,119
Speaker 4: Okay.

473
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:57,280
Speaker 3: I think him and Jalen Brown are close friends, right,

474
00:21:57,320 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 3: they could be sharing hair paint guys.

475
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:01,480
Speaker 4: Okay, we maybe cracked the case.

476
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 2: Maybe really good assessment. It's funny because there's two guys

477
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:08,639
Speaker 2: who have receding hairlines, Like you mentioned James Harden. He

478
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 2: ain't gonna do it though. Max Struce also has a

479
00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 2: headband on such true it's covering the receiving hairline.

480
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:16,360
Speaker 4: Doesn't have that up there.

481
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:19,840
Speaker 2: No, the paint job, Yeah, that's great. Who's got Mitchell?

482
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 3: Who got the boozer?

483
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 4: We talked about all the celebrities there, or at least

484
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:26,440
Speaker 4: Spike Lee sitting in the second row and Chalome is there.

485
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:28,240
Speaker 4: Did you see Shallowy after the game?

486
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:28,439
Speaker 2: Oh?

487
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:33,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah. It's like living his dream man, literally it's

488
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 3: his dream I know.

489
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, good for head.

490
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:37,120
Speaker 3: I was like, yeah, I was like that's pretty cool.

491
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:39,959
Speaker 4: And he's like, of course out there and he's like

492
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:40,840
Speaker 4: just living it up.

493
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:43,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, he had to. He had to get so famous

494
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:46,679
Speaker 3: from the time he's like met Landry Fields and Amari

495
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 3: Stadamier outside of an opera. He had to get so

496
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 3: famous that he gets a second row and he did it. Yeah,

497
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 3: that's like a Marty Supreme character arc for him.

498
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:53,360
Speaker 2: It is.

499
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:56,159
Speaker 3: I also saw late in this game Tyler Kohlak hit

500
00:22:56,200 --> 00:23:03,679
Speaker 3: a three pointer and Shallome stands up and yells white boy. Yeah.

501
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:08,560
Speaker 2: It was part of the whole, the whole celebration. That

502
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 2: was awesome. Just to let him in. Don't pull off

503
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:13,479
Speaker 2: a messiah Jeri can't be in here type of thing.

504
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:14,879
Speaker 2: They just let him in and he was part of

505
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:15,440
Speaker 2: the whole thing.

506
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:19,760
Speaker 4: Crime if I'm wrong. Sometimes when we do these, you know,

507
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:24,240
Speaker 4: trophy presentations for let's say a conference finals on the road,

508
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:26,120
Speaker 4: you'll like, you'll do it in like the locker room

509
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:28,640
Speaker 4: or like in the back. They don't, like, not every

510
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:30,399
Speaker 4: single time. It feels like, maybe do it on on

511
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 4: the floor. But they're like, well, look at we got

512
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:34,920
Speaker 4: a lot of Knicks fans here. Because there was a

513
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 4: lot of people on the court. They're gonna kill us

514
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:38,760
Speaker 4: if they get to take the court.

515
00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You can vividly remember the visual

516
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:45,240
Speaker 2: of all those teams on the road in front of

517
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:47,760
Speaker 2: this big curtain. Yeah that's in the hallway right, Yeah,

518
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:48,399
Speaker 2: And it's not I.

519
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:50,200
Speaker 4: Know they have done it of course on the floor

520
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:52,160
Speaker 4: too at times, but not all the time. But they're

521
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:53,359
Speaker 4: like they must be like, yeah, look at all the

522
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 4: Knicks fans here, let's go, let's do it. Just do

523
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:57,360
Speaker 4: it out here. What else you got?

524
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:00,280
Speaker 3: I got a few, Like we talked about the as

525
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:03,960
Speaker 3: didn't let New York Knicks celebrities sit courtside, and apparently

526
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:07,920
Speaker 3: court side ticket holders had to sign a DOCU sign

527
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 3: from the Calves saying that they wouldn't sell their court

528
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:14,160
Speaker 3: side seats or else they'd be banned for life from

529
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 3: Calves games. Yeah that's crazy.

530
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:21,080
Speaker 4: Hey, hey, relaxed, Dave Gilbert, Dave was going in.

531
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:25,120
Speaker 2: They did they did something. The Caves at least did something.

532
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:27,239
Speaker 3: They did something. They did, they did, So what are

533
00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:29,240
Speaker 3: you talking about? They prevented them from sitting in the

534
00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:30,480
Speaker 3: front row or not.

535
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:33,880
Speaker 2: I know who cares, but it could have been way worse.

536
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 2: I mean if they're sitting in the Yeah, I'm t

537
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:41,920
Speaker 2: having I'm flashing back to other things with other fans.

538
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:43,919
Speaker 2: But let's not get into that. But no, isn't that

539
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:45,919
Speaker 2: in a bit of an accomplishment. Isn't that it's something

540
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:47,120
Speaker 2: they did something.

541
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 4: Dan Gilbert should have to pay all of those people

542
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 4: that had front row tickets that he basically said, you

543
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 4: cannot sell these. The Knicks fans, he should have to

544
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 4: pay them back for all the money they lost after

545
00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:58,480
Speaker 4: that performance from his team in Game four.

546
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, very unfortunate. But he did bring twenty five

547
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 2: buses worth of fans in the previous round, so I

548
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 2: did something he did.

549
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:10,679
Speaker 4: He did and he tweets. He tweeted his class, you know,

550
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:12,880
Speaker 4: like we got a step further, but we're not even

551
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 4: close or we need to make some drastic moves again.

552
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:16,920
Speaker 2: We'll get to that later in the yep, yep.

553
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 3: There was apparently one happy Cavs fan last night. A

554
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:22,480
Speaker 3: kid named Cooper hit a half court shot. Okay, one

555
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:26,480
Speaker 3: ten k oh? Congratulations you leave that game? Are you saying?

556
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:29,159
Speaker 3: Awesome game? I made a half court shot and won

557
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:33,640
Speaker 3: ten thousand dollars. Got bothered by forty points. He said

558
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:35,959
Speaker 3: he's a kid. How old is a kid man? You know,

559
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:38,040
Speaker 3: in his twenties, early twenties.

560
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:41,480
Speaker 4: He's gone, sure, sure, he's first off, they've won titles.

561
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:44,560
Speaker 4: You know you had Lebron so true.

562
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:45,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's true.

563
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:48,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's great for him, two thousand dollars.

564
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:51,400
Speaker 2: It's a good day for Cooper, great day for Cooper, Coop.

565
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:55,680
Speaker 2: One last note from the NBA Cup. Remember the postgame celebration,

566
00:25:56,160 --> 00:26:00,400
Speaker 2: Heart literally shoved his thumb in Jalen Brunson's butt. Yes,

567
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 2: that was part of their celebration. This time, Josh Hart

568
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:06,639
Speaker 2: was being interviewed John Brownson just smacked his head so

569
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:08,720
Speaker 2: he didn't get back in him by sticking anything and

570
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:10,959
Speaker 2: just wrecked him.

571
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:14,879
Speaker 4: So that it looked like he smoked him. Hit them hard, Yeah,

572
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 4: hard to do it. I think they do that a

573
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:21,440
Speaker 4: lot to each other. Like, Okay, I know who did that.

574
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 4: That was JB slapping me as I walk over to

575
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:24,360
Speaker 4: Lisa Salters.

576
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:26,920
Speaker 3: Yea, they were fighting. It was also cute I thought

577
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:29,480
Speaker 3: when Mike Brown like got to talk to Lisa Salters

578
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 3: and he's walking over and they all just start going Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike.

579
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:37,240
Speaker 3: Did the Nuggets do that with Michael Michael alone?

580
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:40,359
Speaker 4: He hates being I know, but I mean I feel like,

581
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:43,239
Speaker 4: if you're Mike after finding Nemeal, yeah, you're gonna get

582
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:46,280
Speaker 4: a lot of Mike Mike Mike. Also, did you see

583
00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:50,240
Speaker 4: uh the halftime show inside last night Shaq and Kenny

584
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:55,920
Speaker 4: Uh singing Sinatra doing the rockets like or whatever. As

585
00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:59,400
Speaker 4: they were like basically dancing on the graves of the caves. Yeah,

586
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:02,959
Speaker 4: they were right. The lead was cut to sixteen, but

587
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 4: then it was quickly back to twenty plus.

588
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:10,120
Speaker 2: Barkley did the definition of yeah quit quit.

589
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, like cavaliers for whatever they were, they knew it.

590
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:16,400
Speaker 4: They were. They were convinced there was no comeback in this.

591
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:19,399
Speaker 4: And then my final note was, I don't know if

592
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 4: you guys caught this Mike Breen doing a clash in

593
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:25,119
Speaker 4: Italy w W E ad Reid and he said it

594
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:27,359
Speaker 4: was a great honor to do that. He always wanted

595
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 4: to do that. I think he said like a w

596
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:33,120
Speaker 4: W ad read. And then Richard Jefferson shared his favorite wrestler.

597
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:34,200
Speaker 4: Did you hear who his favorite wres?

598
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:34,480
Speaker 2: No?

599
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:34,920
Speaker 3: Oh?

600
00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 2: Current?

601
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 4: Yeah?

602
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:36,080
Speaker 3: Current?

603
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:40,640
Speaker 4: Oh, current current favorite wrestler. Here we go, good trivia question.

604
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 2: It's not Housen.

605
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:45,480
Speaker 4: No, not Dan Housen. But the curse is powerful, man.

606
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:48,080
Speaker 3: Wow, undefeated since he lefted the curse and the Cavs

607
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:50,960
Speaker 3: got swept, it's very powerful. It actually might be powerful.

608
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:51,800
Speaker 3: I hate to admit it.

609
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, Richard Jefferson, Yeah, favorite.

610
00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:56,800
Speaker 4: I don't think you're going to get it on your

611
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 4: first guest, So I'm just going to tell you it's

612
00:27:58,000 --> 00:27:59,159
Speaker 4: a female wrestler.

613
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:05,200
Speaker 3: Okay, uh, I mean it gets it down to the man. No, good,

614
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 3: Becky Lynch, good, Jade Cargill. Is that what is?

615
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:12,199
Speaker 2: No?

616
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:15,639
Speaker 3: But very strong? Okay, very strong? Nia Jackson.

617
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:23,240
Speaker 4: You're missing the one man. Australians Australian Ripley.

618
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:30,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, sorry, I forgot. She's good.

619
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:34,159
Speaker 4: She is great. He's probably one of my favorites, all right.

620
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:37,800
Speaker 3: Yeah. A couple of other things. Apparently Matt Mike Brown

621
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:40,760
Speaker 3: made a Sad Nicks mix for all of these guys

622
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:44,960
Speaker 3: to watch ahead of the conference finals, like plays from

623
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:48,880
Speaker 3: last year's conference finals, them losing against the Indiana Pacers,

624
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:51,320
Speaker 3: but also just like close up shots of them looking

625
00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:53,400
Speaker 3: sad as they came off the court. Okay, I think

626
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:57,400
Speaker 3: that's a pretty interesting motivational technique, right, don't forget that moment.

627
00:28:57,440 --> 00:28:58,680
Speaker 3: You don't want to be back here, you don't want

628
00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:01,880
Speaker 3: to be this sad ever again. But I don't know

629
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 3: if they were showing us the actual video or like

630
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:07,720
Speaker 3: dramatization of what the video could be. But obviously Tom

631
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:09,560
Speaker 3: Thibodeo is in it. I feel like that's kind of

632
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:12,320
Speaker 3: rubbed in his face a little bit. Brown. And the

633
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:15,680
Speaker 3: last thing was, uh, Josh Hart called out some reporter

634
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 3: for eating chicken wings during the press conference. He's like,

635
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:20,640
Speaker 3: I see, you're supposed to be asking questions, you're sucking

636
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:24,480
Speaker 3: on your fingers. Those chicken wings look like they're hitting, though.

637
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:25,600
Speaker 4: We don't know who.

638
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 3: I couldn't figure it out. I couldn't figure out who

639
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:30,600
Speaker 3: brought the wings to the.

640
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:31,640
Speaker 2: No, I'm interested.

641
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:34,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, who took the wings? Let us know Dan Devine.

642
00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:36,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, or Schumann or whoever was there.

643
00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:37,840
Speaker 3: It could have been that meeting the wings.

644
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:38,640
Speaker 2: Wow.

645
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:42,120
Speaker 4: No, I can't see those two eating wings after a

646
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:44,600
Speaker 4: press at a press conference, No way, They're too professional,

647
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:45,880
Speaker 4: those guys, I would have to degree.

648
00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:48,160
Speaker 3: I've only ever seen John Schuman eat tacos, but I've

649
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 3: seen him meat tacos a handful of times, more than

650
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:52,480
Speaker 3: you would imagine. Wow.

651
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:54,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, I saw me noodles once too.

652
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:58,320
Speaker 3: Well, I'm gonna need a lot of meals, but never

653
00:29:58,680 --> 00:29:59,600
Speaker 3: at a press conference.

654
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:02,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, that's different. That's different. All right, let's take

655
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:05,440
Speaker 4: a break, and when we come back, we will talk

656
00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 4: about the Cavaliers off season decisions. There are a few.

657
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 3: All right.

658
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:13,840
Speaker 2: Let's build a parlay for ok CEE Spurs Game five,

659
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:16,520
Speaker 2: because FanDuel is giving you better payouts on same game

660
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:21,320
Speaker 2: parlays all NBA Playoffs. Long parlay position one. Lou Dort

661
00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:23,360
Speaker 2: to make the first basket of the game. Yeah, I'm

662
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:26,080
Speaker 2: doing that. Wow, he did in game two the series.

663
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 2: So this is their first time back and Okay, see

664
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:31,960
Speaker 2: that's where he last did it?

665
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 4: Is that the one where he drove He drove inside

666
00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:34,960
Speaker 4: on that one?

667
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:36,080
Speaker 2: Yeah? And mid range?

668
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:37,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, yes, I.

669
00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:40,600
Speaker 2: Think yeah, I think so too. Parlay position two, Chet

670
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:42,720
Speaker 2: Holmgren eight plus rebounds he's done in two of the

671
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:44,760
Speaker 2: four games he's coming off one. I think he can

672
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:48,360
Speaker 2: do that. Parlay position three. I'm definitely going more conservative

673
00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:51,440
Speaker 2: after that crazy lud dort one. Cason Wallas two plus

674
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:53,840
Speaker 2: may threes not asking a lot, Yes, two plus May threes.

675
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:57,400
Speaker 2: Parlay position for Stefon Castle six plus assists seems easy.

676
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:04,120
Speaker 2: Plus fifty four to fifty three is what pace all risky? Yeah,

677
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:08,040
Speaker 2: be over Over is probably gonna win the tip.

678
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:11,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're gonna need to stop. That's a great one.

679
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:12,080
Speaker 3: Stop.

680
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:16,160
Speaker 2: Lou's gonna hit a shot. Wow, We'll see from spreads

681
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:18,480
Speaker 2: to player points, to threes and more. Build it all

682
00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:21,360
Speaker 2: into one same game. Parlay and go for bigger payouts,

683
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:24,000
Speaker 2: more options, better payouts. All NBA playoffs along head to

684
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:28,320
Speaker 2: the FanDuel sportswok app. FanDuel Official partner of the NBA

685
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:29,000
Speaker 2: Player Game.

686
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:33,120
Speaker 4: Okay, let's uh, speaking of playing games, let's play fill

687
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:39,560
Speaker 4: in the blank. It's been a hot minute since we

688
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:41,360
Speaker 4: played fill in the blank, But I got a few

689
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:44,160
Speaker 4: fun fill in the blank questions for you guys, and

690
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:46,440
Speaker 4: the first one has to do with the Cavaliers. Let's

691
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:50,320
Speaker 4: just get right to it. The Cavaliers' biggest off season

692
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:52,800
Speaker 4: decision is blank.

693
00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:57,240
Speaker 2: So whether or not they copy exactly what the Knicks

694
00:31:57,240 --> 00:32:00,479
Speaker 2: did last season and fired Tom to Tom Thibida and

695
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:03,000
Speaker 2: fire Kenny Atkinson immediately. I think they have to do that.

696
00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:07,800
Speaker 2: In me, wow, today, I honestly am looking at the

697
00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:10,280
Speaker 2: days as to they lose on Monday. How many days

698
00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:12,240
Speaker 2: does it take them. I think that's the biggest thing

699
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:14,920
Speaker 2: they should and have to do because of how much

700
00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:17,720
Speaker 2: money they have tied up in their roster. It is

701
00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:21,920
Speaker 2: locked up all over the place, and so you want

702
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:23,840
Speaker 2: a coach to come in and try and get a

703
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:27,520
Speaker 2: little bit more from Evan Mobley. You want somebody to

704
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:29,840
Speaker 2: ask James Harden to move off the ball just a

705
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:34,280
Speaker 2: little bit. Obviously there's gonna be some roster questions. Can

706
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:36,959
Speaker 2: there be a Lebron James coming for a cheap and

707
00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:39,840
Speaker 2: what Kobe Altman can do, but there's just so limited

708
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:42,880
Speaker 2: I think it has to emulate exactly what the Knicks did.

709
00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:46,920
Speaker 2: See it, Tom, see it, Kenny. I think I think

710
00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:50,600
Speaker 2: those two things have to have to happen. That's the

711
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:53,440
Speaker 2: only way I think they can motivate this group after

712
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:55,240
Speaker 2: what they did in Game one of the Eastern Conference

713
00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:59,760
Speaker 2: Finals because they are handcuffed. They are, and so yeah,

714
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:01,440
Speaker 2: you can to the Harden and get into the Lebron

715
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:04,320
Speaker 2: part of it, but I think that's what you gotta do,

716
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:06,760
Speaker 2: because the roster's going to be very similar.

717
00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:10,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, the roster can be very similar if they want

718
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:12,040
Speaker 3: it to. But highest payroll in the league for the

719
00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:14,440
Speaker 3: Cavs this year and they finish the playoffs under five

720
00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:17,200
Speaker 3: hundred eight and ten, literally the worst record you can

721
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:19,880
Speaker 3: have if you make the conference finals, and they're going

722
00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:21,680
Speaker 3: to want to be under the second aprom So I

723
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:24,120
Speaker 3: kind of agree with you task that most likely they

724
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:26,920
Speaker 3: run it back, bring back a new coach, and try

725
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:28,880
Speaker 3: and tinker around the edges since they don't have a

726
00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 3: ton of stuff available and their twenty thirty two pick

727
00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:34,280
Speaker 3: is even frozen because of this season. But the biggest

728
00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:36,680
Speaker 3: question for me is what to do about Donovan Mitchell

729
00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:39,280
Speaker 3: and is it time to move on because he's eligible

730
00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:41,200
Speaker 3: for an extension this year, he'll be thirty at the

731
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 3: start of next season, he's available. He will have a

732
00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:46,440
Speaker 3: four year, two hundred and seventy two million dollar deal

733
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:49,720
Speaker 3: available to him over the summer. If he wants to

734
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:51,880
Speaker 3: wait until the summer. At twenty twenty seven, it goes

735
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:54,760
Speaker 3: to five years, three hundred and fifty two million dollars,

736
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:58,400
Speaker 3: could maybe even add a no trade clause. At that point,

737
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:02,280
Speaker 3: you just have to think how far can a Donovan

738
00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:04,760
Speaker 3: and Mitchell team really go? Because he finally made the

739
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:06,840
Speaker 3: conference finals this year, I think this was one of

740
00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:10,040
Speaker 3: his worst playoff runs that we've seen so far. He's

741
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:13,080
Speaker 3: obviously getting older. If he comes back, they're going to

742
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:15,160
Speaker 3: want to bring back Harden as well. Like you're saying,

743
00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:17,480
Speaker 3: they're pretty hamstrung with what they can actually do. Maybe

744
00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:19,759
Speaker 3: it would be a Jared Allen trade or something like that.

745
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:22,480
Speaker 3: So I think the Caves really need to think about

746
00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:25,920
Speaker 3: seriously building around Evan Mobley versus Mitchell this summer. To

747
00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:29,120
Speaker 3: me comes down to which direction are we picking, Sticking

748
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:33,000
Speaker 3: with the open aperture that the Calves have right now

749
00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:35,880
Speaker 3: building around Mitchell, or looking a little bit further to

750
00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:38,680
Speaker 3: the future and re orienting the team around Evan Mobley.

751
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:42,440
Speaker 2: It's risky, risky trying to build around Evan Mobley.

752
00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:44,799
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's risky trying to build around Donovan Mitchell too.

753
00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:47,239
Speaker 3: He's made the conference finals once and still has zero

754
00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:49,240
Speaker 3: wins in the conference finals.

755
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:50,880
Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't disagree.

756
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:52,640
Speaker 4: So he may have played the best of all the

757
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:53,800
Speaker 4: guys that played in the conference.

758
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:56,560
Speaker 3: I think this was a good seat like Mitchell.

759
00:34:56,640 --> 00:34:59,919
Speaker 4: No, I don't I on that definitely up and down.

760
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:02,040
Speaker 4: But I don't think he was the reason by any

761
00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:03,880
Speaker 4: means that they're not winning the game against the Knicks.

762
00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:07,200
Speaker 3: So really, score one basket in the fourth quarter of

763
00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:09,759
Speaker 3: Game one and you win a game. Yeah, probably, but

764
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:11,799
Speaker 3: he wasn't good enough as the one A guy. I

765
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:13,359
Speaker 3: don't think this year Okay.

766
00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:15,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I don't know Mobley. Did Mobley have

767
00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:16,840
Speaker 4: a good playoff series?

768
00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:20,200
Speaker 3: I think he. I think his reputation improved the most

769
00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:23,520
Speaker 3: this playoffs from everybody on the Cavs. Number two Jared Allen.

770
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:27,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, the scary part with Donovan Mitchell is him and

771
00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:33,440
Speaker 2: Harden together not great defensively as guards to lead your team,

772
00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:37,400
Speaker 2: and Mitchell obviously has to give up the ball a

773
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:44,080
Speaker 2: ton to Harden and just that whole chemistry. That's why

774
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:47,600
Speaker 2: I'm more buying into Key Harden around because he didn't

775
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:51,120
Speaker 2: play bad at all, even though there was some bad moments.

776
00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:54,719
Speaker 4: And we're not doing this again with James Harden at

777
00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:56,560
Speaker 4: this point. Well, I mean, I'm not saying he's the

778
00:35:56,600 --> 00:35:58,880
Speaker 4: reason either, but he's not like he was good. He

779
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:01,000
Speaker 4: was good for a lot of the reason they lost

780
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:01,560
Speaker 4: Game one.

781
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:03,120
Speaker 2: Because of his defense.

782
00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:05,640
Speaker 4: Yes, and it's no fault of his own. It's no fault.

783
00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:07,000
Speaker 4: We knew this for fifteen years.

784
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:09,520
Speaker 2: If you have a guy beside him, if Dean Wade

785
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:11,839
Speaker 2: wants to fight over a pick, which isn't even a pick,

786
00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:13,600
Speaker 2: it's just me going up to you and just throwing

787
00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:15,920
Speaker 2: my body at you like this, if he does that,

788
00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:19,440
Speaker 2: if they have more of that fire in that loge.

789
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:20,840
Speaker 3: James Harden doesn't have that fire.

790
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:23,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not saying I'm he's not got to defend it.

791
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:25,680
Speaker 2: The defenders are going to be around him. We all

792
00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:31,919
Speaker 2: know that. Yeah. What options do they have with James Harden, Well, obviously.

793
00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:33,759
Speaker 4: He's got fire options, So there are decisions to make.

794
00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:36,480
Speaker 4: I assume they have some sort of like handshake deal

795
00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:38,960
Speaker 4: when he went to Cleveland, So maybe it's going to

796
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:41,840
Speaker 4: be longer term deal on cheaper money. That'd be a

797
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:44,120
Speaker 4: good start. I guess I'm not saying like he's the

798
00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:46,200
Speaker 4: reason and get rid of him by any means, but also,

799
00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:49,319
Speaker 4: like we've seen this time and time again, especially when

800
00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:52,400
Speaker 4: the toy the going gets tough, he gets going, he's like,

801
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:54,680
Speaker 4: all right, he has he has no very little fight

802
00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:57,560
Speaker 4: in him at this point, especially with his age. They quit.

803
00:36:57,680 --> 00:36:59,799
Speaker 4: They quit obviously, they gave away game one at the end.

804
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:01,759
Speaker 4: That's they quit at the end of game three, and

805
00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:04,359
Speaker 4: they didn't have much spirit in game four. Yeah, right,

806
00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:07,359
Speaker 4: and that's your leaders, and your leaders last I checked,

807
00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:08,680
Speaker 4: are Mitchell and James Harden.

808
00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:11,000
Speaker 2: So that's part of it for sure. That's why I

809
00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:13,120
Speaker 2: think you start with a coach and try and hope

810
00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:14,600
Speaker 2: you get a little bit more out of the players,

811
00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:16,719
Speaker 2: and not just those two guys, but everybody around them. Again,

812
00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:21,359
Speaker 2: the Dean Wade the small forward position. We know, if

813
00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:23,920
Speaker 2: you've got Mitchell and you're playing with Mitchell and Harden,

814
00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:27,279
Speaker 2: you've got to have the fire in the shorts of

815
00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:31,000
Speaker 2: your small forward to be able to fight. And they

816
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:34,520
Speaker 2: gave up Darius Garland for James Harden because Garland had

817
00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:37,440
Speaker 2: not performed in the playoffs, Hardened at least, at the

818
00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:40,080
Speaker 2: very least, helped get them to the conference finals. I

819
00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:41,960
Speaker 2: don't know how long they keep him around, but it

820
00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:44,840
Speaker 2: just feels like I'm not giving up on Mitchell at

821
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:48,680
Speaker 2: the very least. Who was in those locks, in those huddles,

822
00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:51,960
Speaker 2: trying to get everybody going. It didn't happen. But I

823
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:54,239
Speaker 2: start with a coach and we'll see how much they

824
00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:57,000
Speaker 2: pay Harden. I mean, that's a big question. Shouldn't give

825
00:37:57,040 --> 00:37:59,480
Speaker 2: him but jillion dollars in the money that you said

826
00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:02,760
Speaker 2: for Mitchell also a little scary. That's a big amount

827
00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:05,200
Speaker 2: of money starts to go.

828
00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:08,080
Speaker 4: It's now, no, it's like thirty million. Though it's like

829
00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:10,040
Speaker 4: a little different. I'm saying, like when Mobley and him

830
00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:12,120
Speaker 4: were making X amount of money, which is a lot cheaper,

831
00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:14,160
Speaker 4: it's a little more easy to stomach. Now it gets

832
00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:16,200
Speaker 4: more expensive and you're going to start, of course winning

833
00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:18,680
Speaker 4: and at least competing for titles. But maybe people are

834
00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:20,800
Speaker 4: saying they are sort of competing for titles getting to

835
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:22,600
Speaker 4: the conference finals. I mean, this is good news if

836
00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:24,520
Speaker 4: you're a Cavs fan. Saw this going around a lot

837
00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:27,400
Speaker 4: last night. A little shred of hope. The Knicks are

838
00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:30,280
Speaker 4: going to be the fourth straight Eastern Conference Finals loser

839
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:33,840
Speaker 4: to make the finals the next year. They follow the Pacers,

840
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:36,720
Speaker 4: the Celtics, and the Heat. So if that trend continues

841
00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:38,640
Speaker 4: and the Caves are looking good, I would have very

842
00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:41,440
Speaker 4: little faith in the Calves being in the finals next

843
00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:43,960
Speaker 4: year unless there is maybe a very drastic move, and

844
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:47,640
Speaker 4: maybe that's honest, you know, maybe it's someone else. Of course,

845
00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:51,200
Speaker 4: Lebron plays a part in this equation, maybe coming maybe

846
00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:54,279
Speaker 4: if he's going to give the hometown discount or something

847
00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:54,600
Speaker 4: like that.

848
00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:56,719
Speaker 3: Even then, though, they got to slice some guys off

849
00:38:56,760 --> 00:39:01,080
Speaker 3: of role, so I think ls, Wade, Shrewder, these are

850
00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:03,080
Speaker 3: all guys who could not be Calves next year, and

851
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:06,280
Speaker 3: I don't think any of them were all that important

852
00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:09,319
Speaker 3: to them. That's an upgrade position at the very least.

853
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:11,600
Speaker 3: So maybe it is Lebron. If they decide to bring

854
00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:14,400
Speaker 3: back Mitchell and Harden, I think they are a package, duel,

855
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:17,760
Speaker 3: a deal together, like if Mitchell wants to sign an extension,

856
00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:20,759
Speaker 3: Harden will get a one plus one next year and

857
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:22,680
Speaker 3: then a player option. That's just what he's been signing.

858
00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:25,480
Speaker 3: If that happens, they got a trade Jared Allen just

859
00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:28,840
Speaker 3: to get like a real fifth starter. Yeah, they've been

860
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:30,879
Speaker 3: looking for a fifth starter for a couple of years now,

861
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:33,960
Speaker 3: So I would I would get out of the Allen business.

862
00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:36,319
Speaker 3: I would bring in a wing for him. Maybe they

863
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:38,680
Speaker 3: can get a pick, or maybe it's two players like PJ.

864
00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:41,160
Speaker 3: Washington Daniel Gafford. Would be an awesome trade for the

865
00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:43,560
Speaker 3: Calves to bring in Gafford as a backup big to

866
00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:46,879
Speaker 3: Mobile playing the number one center role. You can play

867
00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:49,239
Speaker 3: them together a little bit and then PJ. Washington can

868
00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:50,960
Speaker 3: kind of slide between the three and the fourth. That

869
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:54,319
Speaker 3: would do wonders for them. So yeah, I guess if

870
00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:56,960
Speaker 3: they are still in the Mitchell business, they should still

871
00:39:56,960 --> 00:39:58,880
Speaker 3: be a top four team in the Eastern Conference. That

872
00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:00,880
Speaker 3: gives you a chance to make it conference finals like

873
00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:03,080
Speaker 3: they did this year, and then maybe you shoot better

874
00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:03,960
Speaker 3: than thirty percent.

875
00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:06,680
Speaker 2: For three next year. Yeah. And it was a good

876
00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:09,040
Speaker 2: move to get rid of DeAndre Hunter because that was

877
00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:11,560
Speaker 2: a monster amount of money that they're going to owe

878
00:40:11,640 --> 00:40:15,439
Speaker 2: him next season. So that was great, But they still

879
00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:18,279
Speaker 2: are paying Shrewder for two more seasons. That's unfortunate. Part

880
00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:21,400
Speaker 2: of that deal. The key on ellis part where are

881
00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:23,400
Speaker 2: you going to pay him more money? I think if

882
00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:26,279
Speaker 2: you're looking at internal growth, you're hoping Jalen Tyson grows

883
00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:28,960
Speaker 2: into a better player because he's still young, he still could,

884
00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:31,640
Speaker 2: He's still good, but he's got to develop a shot.

885
00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:33,759
Speaker 4: Yeah, a lot of questions here around the cast, but

886
00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:36,080
Speaker 4: you guys see him on board that Kenny Eckinton may

887
00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:37,000
Speaker 4: not be here.

888
00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:39,040
Speaker 2: This week for the rest of the summer right alone.

889
00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:40,960
Speaker 2: This cat is right, Yeah, yeah, that's high.

890
00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:43,640
Speaker 4: You think he buried himself when he did the old Analytically,

891
00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:45,920
Speaker 4: we've won two out of three. I guess out of

892
00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:47,279
Speaker 4: four because I think I'm going to give the not

893
00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:51,439
Speaker 4: analytically to the Knicks in game four. It's a tie series.

894
00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:52,800
Speaker 4: In Kenny's mind.

895
00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:55,759
Speaker 2: It's a real Darryl Morey move, you know. Out with

896
00:40:55,840 --> 00:40:58,040
Speaker 2: the old in with the young blood. There's gotta be

897
00:40:58,040 --> 00:41:04,600
Speaker 2: somebody younger, scrappier well who likes numbers but also just

898
00:41:04,640 --> 00:41:07,160
Speaker 2: tries to get his guys a little bit more motivated.

899
00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:09,640
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's necessarily a young guy. I

900
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:12,720
Speaker 2: never thought of this, but who is Who's is replacing Kenny?

901
00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:14,560
Speaker 2: That's for another episode.

902
00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:17,320
Speaker 4: James Harden, By the way, had some fun quotes after

903
00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:21,120
Speaker 4: yesterday's loss. Yeah, it was four to zero, but we

904
00:41:21,719 --> 00:41:24,279
Speaker 4: didn't give ourselves a chance. Genuinely, I think we are

905
00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:27,640
Speaker 4: the better team. He went on to say so in

906
00:41:27,719 --> 00:41:31,439
Speaker 4: Harden's heart, just like Kenny, they're sort of in this.

907
00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:36,080
Speaker 3: Thing so close. If you don't look at the score, yeah, yeah,

908
00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:39,279
Speaker 3: it was close. If you don't look at this, that's

909
00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:41,640
Speaker 3: a great way to look at it. Right there.

910
00:41:42,920 --> 00:41:45,040
Speaker 4: It's amazing. All right, Moving off the cass, We'll be

911
00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:46,600
Speaker 4: talking about them, I'm sure a lot more in the

912
00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:50,200
Speaker 4: coming weeks. All right, let's get pivotal, baby. The Spurs

913
00:41:50,520 --> 00:41:52,839
Speaker 4: throttled the Thunder one O three eighty two in Game

914
00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:55,280
Speaker 4: four of the West Finals on Sunday. The series heads

915
00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:59,000
Speaker 4: back to OKC tonight, where the reigning champs will try

916
00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:01,440
Speaker 4: to defend home court and keep their back to back

917
00:42:01,520 --> 00:42:04,880
Speaker 4: title hopes alive. So let's preview this in filling the blank.

918
00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:05,280
Speaker 3: TK.

919
00:42:05,560 --> 00:42:08,120
Speaker 4: One thing to watch for in tonight's Western Conference Finals

920
00:42:08,160 --> 00:42:08,880
Speaker 4: Game five.

921
00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:14,040
Speaker 3: Is the Thunders number two man number two? Who is it? Literally,

922
00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:15,480
Speaker 3: who's the thunders number two man?

923
00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:16,360
Speaker 4: Not AJ Mitchell?

924
00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:20,480
Speaker 3: Aj Mitchell is out JDub listed as questionable, though they

925
00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:24,800
Speaker 3: changed his injury designation from hamstring soreness to hamstring strain.

926
00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:27,799
Speaker 3: That doesn't make me think he's coming back. No, that

927
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:29,320
Speaker 3: sounds worse. It sounds worse.

928
00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:33,760
Speaker 2: It's left ham string semi colon, injury management, dash strain.

929
00:42:33,840 --> 00:42:34,840
Speaker 4: Yeah they added strained.

930
00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:36,360
Speaker 2: Yeahah, injury management.

931
00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:40,880
Speaker 3: That's two pieces of punctuation one injury diagnosis.

932
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:42,400
Speaker 2: Huh yeah great. Yeah.

933
00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:45,360
Speaker 3: But that's the question for the Thunder is who's going

934
00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:47,640
Speaker 3: to be the number two guy? In Game three, it

935
00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:50,320
Speaker 3: was Jared McCain who went for twenty four, bombing away

936
00:42:50,320 --> 00:42:53,040
Speaker 3: from three. I think the entire bench was the number

937
00:42:53,040 --> 00:42:55,320
Speaker 3: two man. In game two. You could also throw in

938
00:42:55,400 --> 00:42:58,320
Speaker 3: Isaiah Hartenstein, just Maul and Wemby for forty eight minutes.

939
00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:01,440
Speaker 3: There's a couple. There's a lot of good role player performances.

940
00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:03,840
Speaker 3: I thought in the game two win for the Thunder.

941
00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:06,799
Speaker 3: But I don't know who it's gonna be. Maybe it'll

942
00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:09,000
Speaker 3: be Caruso. Maybe they run more pick and roll, just

943
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:13,160
Speaker 3: allow him to create inside. If they're gonna be I

944
00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:15,359
Speaker 3: think they will double shay a little. That didn't a

945
00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:19,279
Speaker 3: ton in game four. But uh, maybe Cruzo can be

946
00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:21,960
Speaker 3: a playmaker. Maybe Caseen Wallace can be a playmaker. Maybe

947
00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:24,439
Speaker 3: it's just being back in Oklahoma City. We can shoot

948
00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:27,560
Speaker 3: threes like we did in game two. But you have

949
00:43:27,640 --> 00:43:30,320
Speaker 3: to wonder we'll number seven show up. That's Chet Holmgrend.

950
00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:33,160
Speaker 3: Eleven points per game, six rebounds per game, shooting forty

951
00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:36,160
Speaker 3: seven from the field thirty three from three thirty three

952
00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:39,800
Speaker 3: doesn't sound that bad. He's taken nine threes in four games.

953
00:43:39,840 --> 00:43:42,640
Speaker 3: Big Jalen Williams has taken nineteen. Just shoot him, chit,

954
00:43:43,480 --> 00:43:45,839
Speaker 3: just shoot the ball. I would like to see him

955
00:43:45,840 --> 00:43:48,360
Speaker 3: at least go out trying, you know. I think that

956
00:43:49,239 --> 00:43:51,680
Speaker 3: fire him up. Even if you go three for ten,

957
00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:54,319
Speaker 3: I'm happy to see that. And also maybe number two

958
00:43:54,360 --> 00:43:57,000
Speaker 3: could have a big game. He hasn't yet. Shay's been

959
00:43:57,400 --> 00:43:58,719
Speaker 3: kind of struggling.

960
00:43:58,280 --> 00:43:58,960
Speaker 2: On this series.

961
00:43:58,960 --> 00:44:01,200
Speaker 3: In the play the one on one one is interesting

962
00:44:01,280 --> 00:44:04,440
Speaker 3: because after I guess three games, people are saying, oh man,

963
00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:07,040
Speaker 3: JJ Reddick gave everybody the recipe on how to guard

964
00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:09,560
Speaker 3: shake Gilders Alexander double them all the time, and the

965
00:44:09,560 --> 00:44:11,759
Speaker 3: Spurs went and singled him for an entire game and

966
00:44:11,840 --> 00:44:14,560
Speaker 3: blew them out. So I wonder what Shay's response will

967
00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:16,160
Speaker 3: be to seeing different defenses.

968
00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:19,160
Speaker 2: I do want to see whether the thunder just go

969
00:44:19,239 --> 00:44:21,400
Speaker 2: home and some of those threes just fall. Because I

970
00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:23,120
Speaker 2: went back and watched every single one of those threes,

971
00:44:23,120 --> 00:44:25,080
Speaker 2: a lot of it was just out of rhythm, out

972
00:44:25,080 --> 00:44:27,000
Speaker 2: of the flow, because the Spurs got them there, and

973
00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:30,520
Speaker 2: so maybe it's different at home. That could very well happen.

974
00:44:30,560 --> 00:44:33,840
Speaker 2: It is scary that both Aj Mitchell and Jalen Wilmans

975
00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:36,440
Speaker 2: might not be playing. We'll see about Jalen Williams specifically,

976
00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:39,480
Speaker 2: no doubt, but some of those guys, like you said,

977
00:44:39,600 --> 00:44:44,120
Speaker 2: Jay will those threes could go down here like somebody, somebody,

978
00:44:44,120 --> 00:44:47,200
Speaker 2: because none of those guys shot well, none of them.

979
00:44:47,400 --> 00:44:50,880
Speaker 2: Kenrich Williams hit a couple threes. Kenrich Williams, Isaiah Joe

980
00:44:50,920 --> 00:44:52,719
Speaker 2: did hit a couple threes to end the game. Look

981
00:44:52,719 --> 00:44:57,000
Speaker 2: into the heavens. But maybe they're just better at home.

982
00:44:57,600 --> 00:45:00,399
Speaker 2: So regardless of who is playing, I think home can

983
00:45:00,640 --> 00:45:04,360
Speaker 2: change that and we'll have more of a battle in general.

984
00:45:04,840 --> 00:45:07,319
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's weird at this point. It feels I don't

985
00:45:07,320 --> 00:45:08,840
Speaker 4: want to put words in your guy's mouth here, but

986
00:45:08,880 --> 00:45:11,720
Speaker 4: it's like you have more confidence in what the Spurs

987
00:45:11,760 --> 00:45:13,799
Speaker 4: are or what their identity is and what you're getting

988
00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:16,520
Speaker 4: from web Minyama sort of at this point where the

989
00:45:16,560 --> 00:45:20,640
Speaker 4: Thunder without some of these other secondary facilitators and creators,

990
00:45:20,640 --> 00:45:22,680
Speaker 4: it's like it's a bit of a wild card, even

991
00:45:22,719 --> 00:45:24,799
Speaker 4: though they have the two time MVP and SGA, who

992
00:45:24,800 --> 00:45:27,279
Speaker 4: I think will have a better game here tonight than

993
00:45:27,280 --> 00:45:29,759
Speaker 4: he did in Game four, I think numbers wise and

994
00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:32,120
Speaker 4: his impact on the game. But yeah, it's like the

995
00:45:32,160 --> 00:45:35,239
Speaker 4: Spurs with their defense and the way they're playing as

996
00:45:35,239 --> 00:45:37,400
Speaker 4: a unit, it's just a little more established. I have

997
00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:40,000
Speaker 4: a little more confidence right now we're going to get

998
00:45:40,040 --> 00:45:42,239
Speaker 4: from them where the wild card or the Thunder with

999
00:45:42,280 --> 00:45:45,440
Speaker 4: all these guys you're thrown out there, Caruso, dort Wallace,

1000
00:45:46,239 --> 00:45:48,000
Speaker 4: any of the Williams that are playing or not playing.

1001
00:45:48,040 --> 00:45:50,080
Speaker 4: So yeah, I mean this is a huge one. Like

1002
00:45:50,360 --> 00:45:51,799
Speaker 4: I don't know if we say this all the time,

1003
00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:54,360
Speaker 4: but does feel like who wins tonight's game will probably

1004
00:45:54,760 --> 00:45:59,239
Speaker 4: win the series because they're still fairly evenly matched and

1005
00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:01,560
Speaker 4: you're gonna get a couple of cracks at trying to

1006
00:46:01,600 --> 00:46:02,359
Speaker 4: put a team to bed.

1007
00:46:02,560 --> 00:46:05,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I totally agree. It definitely feels like the Spurs

1008
00:46:05,360 --> 00:46:08,440
Speaker 2: head are more comfortable. We all sort of believe in

1009
00:46:08,440 --> 00:46:10,919
Speaker 2: what they have. There was a reason I think Mark

1010
00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:14,279
Speaker 2: Dagnall sat Shae for the entire fourth quarter of Game

1011
00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:17,480
Speaker 2: four was to just have those guys see some shots

1012
00:46:17,480 --> 00:46:20,560
Speaker 2: go down, like Isaiah Joe did. I know, they don't

1013
00:46:20,600 --> 00:46:24,040
Speaker 2: necessarily want to use Isaiah Joe in general, but because

1014
00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:28,040
Speaker 2: of all these injuries, they may have to. They just

1015
00:46:28,040 --> 00:46:30,040
Speaker 2: need to see a couple. But Crusoe could have a

1016
00:46:30,080 --> 00:46:33,120
Speaker 2: bounce back game. I mean, he needs to be back

1017
00:46:33,160 --> 00:46:34,160
Speaker 2: to what he was earlier in.

1018
00:46:34,120 --> 00:46:38,120
Speaker 4: This very wide in Game four. Yeah, one shot, yeah, crazy, Yes,

1019
00:46:38,160 --> 00:46:40,000
Speaker 4: after the impact he had early in the series.

1020
00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:41,719
Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean they were giving him open shots for

1021
00:46:41,800 --> 00:46:42,560
Speaker 3: three straight games.

1022
00:46:42,640 --> 00:46:45,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, and they've decided, okay, switch it up, take away

1023
00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:47,120
Speaker 4: all the other guys and see if SGA can sort

1024
00:46:47,120 --> 00:46:50,479
Speaker 4: of beat mainly Castle and obviously wemby roaming like good luck.

1025
00:46:50,600 --> 00:46:51,920
Speaker 4: I mean SGA is just going to have to have

1026
00:46:51,960 --> 00:46:54,560
Speaker 4: that mid range going and he can get to it

1027
00:46:54,719 --> 00:46:56,480
Speaker 4: and he gets his looks, but he's got to drop

1028
00:46:56,480 --> 00:46:58,560
Speaker 4: here tonight if they're gonna take game five.

1029
00:46:58,480 --> 00:47:01,920
Speaker 2: Or check check a little bit, you know, little bit.

1030
00:47:01,960 --> 00:47:04,560
Speaker 4: My confidence in Chad has faded.

1031
00:47:05,480 --> 00:47:05,960
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1032
00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:07,880
Speaker 3: Well, and I mean that's the problem for the Thunder

1033
00:47:07,960 --> 00:47:11,000
Speaker 3: right now is they're down three second options, whoever it

1034
00:47:11,040 --> 00:47:13,160
Speaker 3: may be. Chad is not playing well. I think it

1035
00:47:13,160 --> 00:47:16,439
Speaker 3: would be a surprise if he has an outstanding game.

1036
00:47:16,480 --> 00:47:20,080
Speaker 3: But if he does, thunder Win, no Jada, no Mitchell.

1037
00:47:20,680 --> 00:47:23,480
Speaker 3: Those are three guys who could be carrying the offense

1038
00:47:24,120 --> 00:47:26,720
Speaker 3: when Shay sits, because they're doing well when Shay is playing.

1039
00:47:27,400 --> 00:47:28,960
Speaker 3: But I mean also the Spurs are doing well when

1040
00:47:28,960 --> 00:47:30,120
Speaker 3: Wemby's playing. Plus fifty I.

1041
00:47:30,120 --> 00:47:32,759
Speaker 4: Think, yeah, four games. Yeah, that's the other whole part

1042
00:47:32,760 --> 00:47:34,879
Speaker 4: of this equation. What if Wemby just decides no, this

1043
00:47:34,960 --> 00:47:37,440
Speaker 4: is the series. Tonight, let's go Bersark again and we

1044
00:47:37,520 --> 00:47:40,759
Speaker 4: have another monster Monster game Bury in play. Can't wait?

1045
00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:45,400
Speaker 4: Game five tonight eight thirty on NBC Slash Peacock. All right,

1046
00:47:45,400 --> 00:47:48,080
Speaker 4: next one here, I will stick with Wemby. This was

1047
00:47:48,080 --> 00:47:50,719
Speaker 4: a random note. Maybe we forgot to address on yesterday's

1048
00:47:50,760 --> 00:47:54,239
Speaker 4: show Victor Weminyama's shoes that he wore in game four.

1049
00:47:54,320 --> 00:47:58,920
Speaker 4: He brought back these Nike GT Hustle three pees in

1050
00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:03,799
Speaker 4: game four. The pair is obviously inspired by cows, a

1051
00:48:03,800 --> 00:48:08,000
Speaker 4: clear nod to the running trope of aliens abducting cows.

1052
00:48:08,239 --> 00:48:10,799
Speaker 4: Says be unique every day written on the tongue there too,

1053
00:48:10,880 --> 00:48:14,240
Speaker 4: so there's a look for everybody on YouTube. Task started

1054
00:48:14,239 --> 00:48:18,160
Speaker 4: filling the blank. Wemby's cowprint shoes are Texas.

1055
00:48:19,320 --> 00:48:22,320
Speaker 2: Texas has the most cattle in the US twelve million

1056
00:48:22,360 --> 00:48:26,239
Speaker 2: cattle and calves in the state of Texas. Wow, that's

1057
00:48:26,480 --> 00:48:30,399
Speaker 2: that's double the second most of any state.

1058
00:48:30,440 --> 00:48:32,920
Speaker 4: It's a lot of a lot of Texas.

1059
00:48:32,960 --> 00:48:35,759
Speaker 2: Man, that's Texas. I forgot. I didn't realize that he

1060
00:48:35,800 --> 00:48:36,319
Speaker 2: had him earlier.

1061
00:48:36,480 --> 00:48:39,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, before, for sure. Couple of times. Cows are

1062
00:48:39,320 --> 00:48:40,320
Speaker 4: Do you like them?

1063
00:48:40,840 --> 00:48:41,680
Speaker 2: I don't love them?

1064
00:48:41,800 --> 00:48:44,360
Speaker 4: Now you don't like cows?

1065
00:48:45,080 --> 00:48:50,720
Speaker 2: I like cows more than horses. Hell yeah, brother, cows

1066
00:48:50,719 --> 00:48:52,759
Speaker 2: are cool. I guess Okay, what.

1067
00:48:52,719 --> 00:48:55,759
Speaker 4: Do you think the hero like throwbacks to me?

1068
00:48:55,880 --> 00:48:58,080
Speaker 3: Because a cow being inducted by an alien that's like

1069
00:48:58,120 --> 00:49:01,400
Speaker 3: something you'd see on National Inquiry nineteen fifties. Yeah, and

1070
00:49:01,440 --> 00:49:04,040
Speaker 3: these are kind of like a higher cut shoe adds

1071
00:49:04,080 --> 00:49:05,200
Speaker 3: to the throwback vibe.

1072
00:49:05,640 --> 00:49:07,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree, And like I do like the green

1073
00:49:07,600 --> 00:49:10,520
Speaker 4: I guess is almost like the tractor beam, like taking

1074
00:49:10,600 --> 00:49:12,839
Speaker 4: up the cow that the is that the idea there?

1075
00:49:13,200 --> 00:49:14,600
Speaker 3: Yeah? Sure, totally.

1076
00:49:15,200 --> 00:49:16,000
Speaker 4: So you're a fan.

1077
00:49:16,560 --> 00:49:18,000
Speaker 3: Ish I'm an Ish fan.

1078
00:49:18,160 --> 00:49:20,800
Speaker 4: Yeah? Yeah, Like do you think they should mass produce

1079
00:49:20,880 --> 00:49:22,200
Speaker 4: these and would people buy these?

1080
00:49:22,239 --> 00:49:23,880
Speaker 3: Okay, No, these shoes are sitting.

1081
00:49:24,320 --> 00:49:26,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's not good. That's not gonna be the Wemby shoe.

1082
00:49:26,960 --> 00:49:28,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, you can still get the Wenby Halloween shoes on

1083
00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:29,759
Speaker 3: Nike if you want.

1084
00:49:29,920 --> 00:49:30,960
Speaker 4: Okay, that's pretty good though.

1085
00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:34,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, so he also is good. I can't deny it.

1086
00:49:34,080 --> 00:49:35,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, as a shoe.

1087
00:49:35,120 --> 00:49:36,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, his pees are cool.

1088
00:49:36,640 --> 00:49:38,520
Speaker 4: But he does not have his own signature shoe yet.

1089
00:49:38,520 --> 00:49:41,400
Speaker 4: We're waiting on that. You would think that's coming. The

1090
00:49:41,440 --> 00:49:43,000
Speaker 4: Wemby's interesting.

1091
00:49:43,120 --> 00:49:45,879
Speaker 3: Would they sell a guy shoes don't usually sell.

1092
00:49:45,960 --> 00:49:48,479
Speaker 4: No, they don't, but he's sort of special. He's special. Yeah,

1093
00:49:48,560 --> 00:49:50,960
Speaker 4: I sort of think they would, and like if they

1094
00:49:51,040 --> 00:49:54,480
Speaker 4: lean into the alien angle and the futuristic or whatever

1095
00:49:54,520 --> 00:49:56,640
Speaker 4: they are. Yeah, we'll see. I'm sure they are printing

1096
00:49:56,640 --> 00:49:59,799
Speaker 4: them or making them right now. Final one here more

1097
00:50:00,200 --> 00:50:06,320
Speaker 4: be related topics. Serious XM NBA radio host Justin Termine

1098
00:50:06,360 --> 00:50:09,840
Speaker 4: revealed Monday that he was the lone voter who left

1099
00:50:09,920 --> 00:50:13,480
Speaker 4: Wemby off his first team All NBA ballot, and said

1100
00:50:13,600 --> 00:50:18,400
Speaker 4: he did so because he doesn't fill out a positionless ballot. Okay.

1101
00:50:18,440 --> 00:50:21,080
Speaker 4: In a video posted to social media, Termine made it

1102
00:50:21,120 --> 00:50:24,399
Speaker 4: clear this was not a slight on Wemby. He wanted

1103
00:50:24,400 --> 00:50:26,839
Speaker 4: to make that very clear. I love the boy, but

1104
00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:29,560
Speaker 4: more of a I love the kid, right, oh yes,

1105
00:50:29,680 --> 00:50:34,320
Speaker 4: but more of a philosophy because of historical precedent. I

1106
00:50:34,360 --> 00:50:37,279
Speaker 4: think that was justin Termine's like sort of main point here.

1107
00:50:37,920 --> 00:50:41,560
Speaker 4: It's like a three minute video. Seek it out, fill

1108
00:50:41,560 --> 00:50:44,320
Speaker 4: in the blank, TK, get it started. Justin Termine. Leaving

1109
00:50:44,320 --> 00:50:47,319
Speaker 4: Wemby off all NBA first team is blank.

1110
00:50:47,360 --> 00:50:50,719
Speaker 3: Ridiculous, but it was understandable. I'm glad that he made

1111
00:50:50,719 --> 00:50:52,480
Speaker 3: a case because when he ended up on the second team,

1112
00:50:52,520 --> 00:50:54,400
Speaker 3: I literally said, who's the one person who left him

1113
00:50:54,400 --> 00:50:56,840
Speaker 3: off the TA You just stated it, and apparently it

1114
00:50:56,880 --> 00:50:58,080
Speaker 3: was justin Termany.

1115
00:50:58,440 --> 00:51:00,000
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, maybe excuse me.

1116
00:51:00,640 --> 00:51:04,000
Speaker 3: Anyways, I don't know. This to me is the same

1117
00:51:04,040 --> 00:51:07,040
Speaker 3: as like people getting upset when they were going to

1118
00:51:07,080 --> 00:51:08,920
Speaker 3: cancel student debt and they're like, but all these people

1119
00:51:08,920 --> 00:51:10,520
Speaker 3: had to have student debt back in the day. It's

1120
00:51:10,520 --> 00:51:13,080
Speaker 3: not fair that we have to pay off our student debt.

1121
00:51:13,520 --> 00:51:16,239
Speaker 3: So it's not fair to Patrick Ewing being left off

1122
00:51:16,239 --> 00:51:18,480
Speaker 3: the ninety four team. So Wemby, it's not fair to

1123
00:51:18,560 --> 00:51:20,439
Speaker 3: him now that he's getting left off the first team

1124
00:51:20,600 --> 00:51:22,560
Speaker 3: when he was clearly a top five player this year.

1125
00:51:22,640 --> 00:51:25,360
Speaker 3: So he's got his rules, he's sticking to it, but

1126
00:51:26,040 --> 00:51:27,080
Speaker 3: these aren't the rules.

1127
00:51:27,320 --> 00:51:29,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's basically saying, in so many words, Patrick Ewing

1128
00:51:29,680 --> 00:51:32,480
Speaker 4: got screwed, so out of fairness, I will.

1129
00:51:32,320 --> 00:51:33,640
Speaker 3: Personally screw over Wemby.

1130
00:51:33,760 --> 00:51:34,040
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1131
00:51:34,200 --> 00:51:35,120
Speaker 3: It's like very weird.

1132
00:51:35,120 --> 00:51:37,960
Speaker 4: It's a little ass backwards, but yeah, okay, they changed

1133
00:51:37,960 --> 00:51:42,280
Speaker 4: the voting system to avoid the very thing that you're saying,

1134
00:51:42,360 --> 00:51:45,719
Speaker 4: screwed Patrick Ewing. And they're a little different because we're

1135
00:51:45,760 --> 00:51:48,239
Speaker 4: talking about like Wemby on the second or first team.

1136
00:51:48,560 --> 00:51:52,160
Speaker 4: You know, Ewing was literally bumped from any right all

1137
00:51:52,280 --> 00:51:55,239
Speaker 4: NBA team because of the center designation and all the

1138
00:51:55,239 --> 00:51:57,239
Speaker 4: great centers at the time, So you know, it's a

1139
00:51:57,239 --> 00:51:59,920
Speaker 4: little different that way. But he explained it. What's your

1140
00:52:00,120 --> 00:52:00,759
Speaker 4: takeaway to this.

1141
00:52:01,719 --> 00:52:04,760
Speaker 2: There's no need to watch the video of him explaining it. Really,

1142
00:52:05,239 --> 00:52:09,800
Speaker 2: we just explained it. He's voting like a senior citizen.

1143
00:52:10,080 --> 00:52:13,160
Speaker 2: I mean, that's that's what it is. There's no real

1144
00:52:13,239 --> 00:52:16,520
Speaker 2: reason to do that. There's no real reason to discount

1145
00:52:16,640 --> 00:52:20,120
Speaker 2: Victor Wembinham and how good he is. As simple as that.

1146
00:52:20,239 --> 00:52:23,400
Speaker 2: It's evolved. I say senior citizen because the voting has evolved,

1147
00:52:23,440 --> 00:52:27,759
Speaker 2: the game has evolved. Guys are basically positionless in a way. Yeah,

1148
00:52:27,800 --> 00:52:29,799
Speaker 2: Wemby plays the center, if you want to call it that,

1149
00:52:29,960 --> 00:52:31,279
Speaker 2: but he's one of the best five players, one of

1150
00:52:31,280 --> 00:52:34,440
Speaker 2: the best three players. A lot of his defense was

1151
00:52:34,960 --> 00:52:39,680
Speaker 2: I voted him third as MVP in the MVP ballot,

1152
00:52:40,280 --> 00:52:43,120
Speaker 2: so that kind of gives me. I don't know, he's

1153
00:52:43,120 --> 00:52:43,800
Speaker 2: defending himself.

1154
00:52:44,760 --> 00:52:47,719
Speaker 4: I thought had to be I want to do this

1155
00:52:47,800 --> 00:52:49,360
Speaker 4: the old school way, that I have to have a

1156
00:52:49,400 --> 00:52:51,960
Speaker 4: center too, forwards and two guards. And I think Jokich

1157
00:52:52,200 --> 00:52:55,279
Speaker 4: is justin saying I want Yokich as my center on

1158
00:52:55,280 --> 00:52:57,040
Speaker 4: the first team because he had a better regular season

1159
00:52:57,080 --> 00:53:00,000
Speaker 4: than Wemby as the center. But even though we change

1160
00:53:00,200 --> 00:53:02,040
Speaker 4: the rules so you didn't have to do that, he

1161
00:53:02,080 --> 00:53:04,680
Speaker 4: really wants to stick to that. Yeah, And he thinks

1162
00:53:04,680 --> 00:53:06,319
Speaker 4: a big part of it has to do with how

1163
00:53:06,360 --> 00:53:08,560
Speaker 4: we look at the NBA over a season and the

1164
00:53:08,719 --> 00:53:11,239
Speaker 4: historical president, like I said, that's his thinking.

1165
00:53:12,080 --> 00:53:14,600
Speaker 2: The historical president to take him off that first All

1166
00:53:14,719 --> 00:53:16,960
Speaker 2: NBA team, that doesn't make a lot of sense. And

1167
00:53:17,160 --> 00:53:20,600
Speaker 2: I'm the biggest Yokich fan in the world. But his

1168
00:53:20,680 --> 00:53:23,719
Speaker 2: season wasn't as good as Wemby's At the end of

1169
00:53:23,760 --> 00:53:27,000
Speaker 2: the day, Jokic got hurt. He wasn't himself after being hurt.

1170
00:53:27,920 --> 00:53:31,600
Speaker 2: The Spurs had a better record put Wemby on the

1171
00:53:31,600 --> 00:53:33,640
Speaker 2: first team, and it's unfortunately he's the only one to

1172
00:53:33,640 --> 00:53:35,319
Speaker 2: put him on the second team because he is the

1173
00:53:35,360 --> 00:53:40,200
Speaker 2: only one who has to go out and defend himself, right, I.

1174
00:53:40,239 --> 00:53:42,360
Speaker 4: Mean, I know there's a lot of outrage about this.

1175
00:53:42,560 --> 00:53:43,439
Speaker 2: He is on the first team.

1176
00:53:43,480 --> 00:53:44,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, but like at the end of the day.

1177
00:53:44,600 --> 00:53:48,160
Speaker 4: It actually doesn't matter at all at all. I mean,

1178
00:53:48,200 --> 00:53:51,000
Speaker 4: he's on the first team and no one's gonna remember

1179
00:53:51,000 --> 00:53:53,919
Speaker 4: that he wasn't unanimous first team selection in twenty twenty

1180
00:53:53,920 --> 00:53:55,840
Speaker 4: five to twenty six seasons. No one will care or remember.

1181
00:53:55,920 --> 00:53:59,400
Speaker 4: So but you know, I look, I'll give him this.

1182
00:53:59,640 --> 00:54:03,600
Speaker 4: He blamed his reasoning, he defended himself. Is this You

1183
00:54:03,640 --> 00:54:06,080
Speaker 4: can still say it's stupid, but you know he did

1184
00:54:06,080 --> 00:54:06,640
Speaker 4: explain it.

1185
00:54:06,719 --> 00:54:10,000
Speaker 2: Is this good for NBA radio, the fact that one

1186
00:54:10,040 --> 00:54:12,080
Speaker 2: of their hosts got some.

1187
00:54:12,040 --> 00:54:14,120
Speaker 4: Publicity, Well that's what people think he did it for.

1188
00:54:14,440 --> 00:54:16,200
Speaker 2: Yeah. Maybe yeah, because.

1189
00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:17,759
Speaker 4: You get to do this and you get a fill

1190
00:54:17,760 --> 00:54:20,080
Speaker 4: in the blank question on no Ducks mission accomplished.

1191
00:54:20,160 --> 00:54:21,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think he would have come up with a

1192
00:54:22,040 --> 00:54:24,920
Speaker 2: video earlier, you know, like done something big. I mean

1193
00:54:24,920 --> 00:54:26,920
Speaker 2: they did come up with that graphic where he's pointing

1194
00:54:26,920 --> 00:54:31,800
Speaker 2: to his Oh yeah, he's pointing to him putting Wemby

1195
00:54:31,880 --> 00:54:36,840
Speaker 2: on the second team. There's my one. See I did that. Yeah, okay,

1196
00:54:37,000 --> 00:54:40,480
Speaker 2: I'm tuning it too NBA Radio now because I saw justin.

1197
00:54:40,840 --> 00:54:42,480
Speaker 4: Termany, Termany, excuse me.

1198
00:54:42,560 --> 00:54:43,279
Speaker 2: I don't know if that no.

1199
00:54:43,360 --> 00:54:45,399
Speaker 4: I think after I said it, I was like, that's

1200
00:54:45,400 --> 00:54:47,480
Speaker 4: not right. I've seen clips of his I am not

1201
00:54:47,520 --> 00:54:49,560
Speaker 4: a listener of Sirius XMMBA radio, but.

1202
00:54:50,040 --> 00:54:52,240
Speaker 3: A lot of clips going on. I've only heard Simmons

1203
00:54:52,280 --> 00:54:55,200
Speaker 3: say his name. Yeah, he's a Simmons regular. I thought

1204
00:54:55,200 --> 00:54:57,640
Speaker 3: the reason was going to be the minutes you know,

1205
00:54:57,840 --> 00:55:00,279
Speaker 3: Yo gets played four hundred more minutes. I thought that

1206
00:55:00,320 --> 00:55:01,640
Speaker 3: was gonna be the reason. I don't know if that's

1207
00:55:01,680 --> 00:55:02,600
Speaker 3: better or worse than.

1208
00:55:04,400 --> 00:55:06,439
Speaker 2: Yeah. I wanted to make a pun, a terminal pun

1209
00:55:06,520 --> 00:55:10,919
Speaker 2: like that idea is terminal, it's dead. It didn't work out.

1210
00:55:11,400 --> 00:55:13,440
Speaker 2: We had the frank Iy Sola, who's also going to

1211
00:55:13,480 --> 00:55:17,879
Speaker 2: be a radio. That whole thing happened a few weeks ago.

1212
00:55:19,040 --> 00:55:24,000
Speaker 4: Remember Kenny Beacham Beach legit group.

1213
00:55:23,960 --> 00:55:27,319
Speaker 2: Sola and Brian Scalabrini lost an hour on the air.

00:55:27,800 --> 00:55:31,080

00:55:48,840 --> 00:55:52,120
Speaker 2: kids are off school. That's exactly it. Kids off school.

1269
00:58:05,800 --> 00:58:09,160
Speaker 4: nineteen points, but very efficiently eight of eleven from the field.

1270
00:58:09,320 --> 00:58:13,920
Speaker 4: Sank all three of his threes, fourteen rebounds, two, three assists,

1271
00:58:13,920 --> 00:58:18,080
Speaker 4: two steals, two blocks. He played twenty six minutes. Carl

1272
00:58:18,120 --> 00:58:21,680
Speaker 4: Anthony Towns was very very happy, I thought to head

1273
00:58:21,720 --> 00:58:24,479
Speaker 4: to the NBA Finals. You know, it's like a little

1274
00:58:24,520 --> 00:58:26,800
Speaker 4: different than not not that John Brunson isn't happy, but

1275
00:58:26,840 --> 00:58:29,080
Speaker 4: you know, like in terms of like holding the championship

1276
00:58:29,240 --> 00:58:34,160
Speaker 4: or the Eastern Conference trophy and celebratory mood like it said,

1277
00:58:34,160 --> 00:58:35,560
Speaker 4: maybe that's why they're a good pairing here.

1278
00:58:36,160 --> 00:58:42,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, but can more reticent in general. Right, but this

1279
00:58:42,240 --> 00:58:43,680
Speaker 3: has got to be some of the lowest numbers you're

1280
00:58:43,680 --> 00:58:46,080
Speaker 3: ever going to see on a Whoa Boy. I mean, yeah, yeah,

1281
00:58:46,240 --> 00:58:48,960
Speaker 3: nineteen fourteen is a good game. Yeah, nineteen points is

1282
00:58:49,040 --> 00:58:51,480
Speaker 3: low for a while, no doubt. But he did have

1283
00:58:51,560 --> 00:58:53,560
Speaker 3: two blocks, two steals. I could have put stocks there,

1284
00:58:54,240 --> 00:58:57,080
Speaker 3: and uh, you know, nobody scored over twenty, right, So

1285
00:58:57,400 --> 00:58:59,920
Speaker 3: I'm not going to give it to Donovan Mitchell. That's

1286
00:59:00,040 --> 00:59:01,720
Speaker 3: sorry even I have you know, I know you can

1287
00:59:01,800 --> 00:59:04,720
Speaker 3: give woe Boy to a loser, but I couldn't go

1288
00:59:04,840 --> 00:59:05,840
Speaker 3: that far. I couldn't do it.
