I hope your weekend is off to a 20 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:16,840 Speaker 1: great start. Don't forget to call your mom this weekend. 21 00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:20,520 Speaker 1: We had a wild start to our Saturday sitting at 22 00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:22,600 Speaker 1: the kitchen table with Nora. I don't know, maybe like 23 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:26,520 Speaker 1: an hour or so ago. Suddenly the house like like 24 00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:29,280 Speaker 1: rumbled for a second, like maybe a second and a 25 00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:30,960 Speaker 1: half sort of looked at you. 26 00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:33,720 Speaker 2: Was that the wind or did? 27 00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:36,240 Speaker 1: Like we got sort of construction going on behind us, 28 00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:39,399 Speaker 1: Like I thought, maybe they, you know, dropped a huge 29 00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:41,640 Speaker 1: steel plate and it just sort of shook our area. 30 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,560 Speaker 1: Twenty minutes later, Norah's like, oh, I guess there was 31 00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:49,320 Speaker 1: an earthquake in Tennessee. So we felt it here in 32 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 1: Atlanta a little wild. Haven't been in too many earthquakes. 33 00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,760 Speaker 1: I mean, it was nothing here in Atlanta, but the 34 00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 1: house shook. 35 00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:58,040 Speaker 2: It was crazy. 36 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:02,120 Speaker 1: Anyway, that was fun. Also, Happy Weggie Day to all 37 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:06,520 Speaker 1: who celebrate. Yes, May tenth is Weggie Day. I think 38 00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 1: for two reasons. I'm fairly certain that this is the day. 39 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 1: Marcus Smart stuck the infamous Weggie number fifty back in 40 00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:20,840 Speaker 1: the twenty sixteen seventeen season. So we had been tracking 41 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,600 Speaker 1: it for a couple years on the show, and that 42 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 1: was the first year we finally hit fifty, that magical 43 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,680 Speaker 1: number that we were always aiming for, and it happened, 44 00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:32,440 Speaker 1: I believe on May tenth, I think. And then the 45 00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:36,240 Speaker 1: second reason, which we just like shoehorned in to make 46 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:40,600 Speaker 1: it Weggie Day today, is because five the month of 47 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:45,240 Speaker 1: May ten the day five time ten fifty. So there 48 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,400 Speaker 1: you go, Happy weggie Day. And speaking of those, we 49 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,160 Speaker 1: could use one. We haven't had a weggie in like 50 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:53,400 Speaker 1: over two weeks at this point, so I think today, Saturday, 51 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:57,160 Speaker 1: May tenth, would be the perfect day for one. And 52 00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,040 Speaker 1: if I want to be greedy, two weggies, because we've 53 00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:01,359 Speaker 1: got two games on today, let's get one in each game, 54 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 1: and that would get us to fifty because we've been 55 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,640 Speaker 1: stuck on forty eight for a very very long time now, 56 00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:11,080 Speaker 1: so let's do it. A Madison Square Garden weggie and 57 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:15,120 Speaker 1: then a weggie in the other series that I'm literally 58 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:18,120 Speaker 1: drawing a blank hut right now. Oh yeah, the World Series. 59 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,359 Speaker 1: So hoo, hopefully we get that. Let's get into last 60 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,600 Speaker 1: night's games. That's enough of me rambling, and it's cool 61 00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,799 Speaker 1: to see everybody here on a Saturday again. In the chat, 62 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 1: I guess we'll tackle these in order. Yeah, why not? 63 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 1: And I'll throw this up for everybody. I am producing 64 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,520 Speaker 1: here behind the scenes as well. But Donovan Mitchell scoring 65 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:38,880 Speaker 1: forty three. Calves beat the Pacers one twenty six, one 66 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 1: oh four, so it turned out into a blowout. In 67 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 1: the end, they cut the series deficit two to one, 68 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 1: so they still trail the road team hot in this series, 69 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:48,560 Speaker 1: the home team can't win a game. But I thought 70 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 1: last night Calves looked a lot more like the Eastern 71 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 1: Conference's top team for a majority of that game. And 72 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:57,680 Speaker 1: I'll get into the guys coming back, but I think 73 00:03:57,680 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 1: he's still got to start with Donovan Mitchell, who, yeah, 74 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 1: he got some help, but this guy posted his second 75 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:06,800 Speaker 1: straight forty point game to get Cleveland to the victory. 76 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 1: He finished with forty three points, fourteen to twenty nine, shooting, 77 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 1: nine boards, five assists, and really, like the final score 78 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:19,440 Speaker 1: does and was a bit of a blowout. But Donovan 79 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:22,840 Speaker 1: Mitchell refused to let like another fourth quarter lead slip 80 00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:26,000 Speaker 1: away because the Pacers just by trailing a lot for 81 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:28,640 Speaker 1: a majority of the game. I think they got it 82 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,640 Speaker 1: to eleven, correct me if I'm wrong. It was nine 83 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:33,960 Speaker 1: or eleven, but you know, it was reasonable there in 84 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:37,880 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, and Mitchell shut the damn door. He 85 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 1: hit a little fade away from about twelve or thirteen 86 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 1: feet then he stepped up hit a pull up three 87 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,840 Speaker 1: pointer that was huge, and then I think he found 88 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,359 Speaker 1: Max Strews for another three pointers, so making all the 89 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 1: right plays and sort of ended any sort of potential 90 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,440 Speaker 1: pacers come back to get them the win. 91 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:55,720 Speaker 2: But this guy, this guy is. 92 00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:59,599 Speaker 1: One of the greatest scorers in playoff history. I believe 93 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 1: he like top ten in terms of points per game 94 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:06,000 Speaker 1: in the playoffs. And it was like I was thinking 95 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,040 Speaker 1: about it when I was making the thumbnail for this show. 96 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 1: It's like, we obviously have playoff Jimmy. Jimmy Butler, who 97 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,560 Speaker 1: did some pretty miraculous things in taking some sort of 98 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,719 Speaker 1: subpar teams and lower seeded teams and raising his game 99 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,120 Speaker 1: to the finals. Obviously didn't win the big thing, but 100 00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:24,120 Speaker 1: he obviously got there and that was huge. Warranted the 101 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:28,520 Speaker 1: nickname playoff Jimmy. We have playoff Murray or playoff Jamal. 102 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:30,600 Speaker 1: You sort of see both with Jamal Murray, who will 103 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 1: get to later in this podcast. 104 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:33,520 Speaker 2: That would make sense. 105 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:37,040 Speaker 1: Obviously never an All Star, his numbers like balloon in 106 00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:40,480 Speaker 1: the postseason, he got the title along with Jokichi's had 107 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:42,760 Speaker 1: huge shots and big like fifty. 108 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 2: Point games and all that. 109 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 1: But for whatever reason we don't have the Moniker playoff 110 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 1: Mitchell or playoff Donovan and I guess I think there's 111 00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:58,159 Speaker 1: three reasons. The first, as I went through with the 112 00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:00,880 Speaker 1: other guys, like Mitchell's never made it past the second round, 113 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:02,440 Speaker 1: So I think that's part of the equation, right, you 114 00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:04,320 Speaker 1: got to get the conference finals. You got to get 115 00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 1: the finals to really warrant that playoff nickname. The other 116 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 1: part is it doesn't sound as cool like when you 117 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 1: look at it and when you say it, like playoff Jimmy, 118 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 1: that's gold, playoff Jamal or playoff Murray sort of both work. 119 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:26,640 Speaker 1: Playoff Mitchell doesn't hit for me. I guess playoff Donno. 120 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 1: I know he sort of goes by Donno for Donovan 121 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:34,120 Speaker 1: even that so just unfortunately named, I think because but 122 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,880 Speaker 1: he's an awesome playoff riser as my whole point of 123 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,920 Speaker 1: this spiel, and was once again amazing, and he got 124 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,120 Speaker 1: some help in game three. Unlike Game two where he 125 00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:43,839 Speaker 1: tried to do everything and he probably ran out of 126 00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:45,920 Speaker 1: gas at the end. He was living at the free 127 00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 1: throw line. 128 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,040 Speaker 2: He just kept attacking, kept attacking. 129 00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,520 Speaker 1: He was doing that again in game three, but he 130 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 1: got some help because the guys came back Defensive player 131 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:56,000 Speaker 1: of the Year Evan Mobley, you know, key backup player 132 00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:59,200 Speaker 1: DeAndre Hunter. Those guys returned from their injuries in game two. 133 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,120 Speaker 1: Oh sorry, that kept them out of Game two. They 134 00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:04,839 Speaker 1: picked up in game one, and then Darius Garland also 135 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,320 Speaker 1: returned from the toe injury that kept him out for 136 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:11,600 Speaker 1: like four straight and you know, I think mobilely the 137 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:15,240 Speaker 1: best of the bunch. I thought Garland obviously a little limited. 138 00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:17,120 Speaker 1: That was just probably nice to have another guy to 139 00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,120 Speaker 1: handle the ball and run the offense a little bit 140 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:22,840 Speaker 1: to allow Mitchell to rest in some possessions. Mobley was 141 00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:26,920 Speaker 1: the best of them though, eighteen points, thirteen boards, four assists, 142 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:30,920 Speaker 1: three steals in three blocks. Him and his twin tower 143 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:35,040 Speaker 1: buddy Jared Allen, who had nineteen points twelve boards. They allowed, 144 00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:38,680 Speaker 1: especially Mobley Kenny Atkinson, throw a lot of three to 145 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,520 Speaker 1: two zone at the Pacers, and it made Indiana look 146 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:45,320 Speaker 1: pretty stagnant. Took away that zip that we've fallen in 147 00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:47,960 Speaker 1: love with from that Pacers team and sort of like 148 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:49,960 Speaker 1: helped like take away the three point shot of the 149 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:52,320 Speaker 1: Pacers as well. Indie shot nine to thirty from deep 150 00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:56,400 Speaker 1: Halliberton only won three point attempt in this game, and 151 00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 1: I got more to say about him, but mobly, I mean, 152 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,320 Speaker 1: that's the difference maker. Obviously, he was like throwing down 153 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:03,640 Speaker 1: some lobs as well. He had a few where he 154 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:05,360 Speaker 1: fumbled out of bounds, and again there was maybe a 155 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:06,280 Speaker 1: little ruster or whatever. 156 00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:07,400 Speaker 2: But I thought the ankle looked good. 157 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:10,280 Speaker 1: I thought he looked pretty explosive, both offensively, like I said, 158 00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:13,120 Speaker 1: with the lobs and defensively moving around and taking care 159 00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 1: of the glass. And he really allowed Kenny Akinson into 160 00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 1: the cast to sort of implement that zone because you 161 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:20,080 Speaker 1: got him in the middle, and he's a hell of 162 00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:23,160 Speaker 1: a good defensive player. I mean, DPOI for crying out loud. 163 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:25,960 Speaker 1: Cavs just dominated the Pacers on the glass, especially with 164 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:26,800 Speaker 1: their two bigs back. 165 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:27,280 Speaker 2: In the lineup. 166 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:29,760 Speaker 1: I think in the first half India had like two 167 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:34,040 Speaker 1: offensive rebounds four second chance points. Cleveland at the same 168 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:38,320 Speaker 1: time thirteen offensive rebounds twenty one second chance points, so 169 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,640 Speaker 1: you know that was helped them get the big lead. 170 00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:44,320 Speaker 1: Didn't get much better in the second half for Indiana. 171 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:46,640 Speaker 1: It was like a little bit better, but they were 172 00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:48,040 Speaker 1: dominated on the glass. 173 00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:49,400 Speaker 2: I thought this was, you know. 174 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:53,560 Speaker 1: One of Miles Turner's sort of like worst games, Like 175 00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:56,400 Speaker 1: the box card doesn't look brutal. I mean, actually, I 176 00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:59,600 Speaker 1: take that back, it's not good. Fifteen points. He got 177 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,040 Speaker 1: some free throws, he hit one three, but like, no 178 00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:05,560 Speaker 1: rebounding three boards for Miles Turner, that's gonna be a problem. Yeah, 179 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:06,920 Speaker 1: he picked up a couple of blocks, but a lot 180 00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,800 Speaker 1: of fouls as well. They were frustrated the Pacers. 181 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:09,880 Speaker 2: In this game. 182 00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:12,600 Speaker 1: I think they had five technical fouls and that was 183 00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:14,320 Speaker 1: you know, credit to the Cavs, obviously, it was like 184 00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:16,800 Speaker 1: do or die. Their season was on the line. If 185 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:18,800 Speaker 1: they go down three O, they're not coming back. So 186 00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:21,920 Speaker 1: they needed this one. Those guys play, they play through injuries, 187 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:24,920 Speaker 1: you know. I think they had been getting maybe some 188 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:29,079 Speaker 1: eye rolling in the media of like guys, I get it, 189 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:33,240 Speaker 1: banged up thumbs, twisted ankles, you know, Okay, the toe injury, 190 00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:35,520 Speaker 1: which I'm sure is very severe and very painful, and 191 00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:38,040 Speaker 1: I'm saying all these injuries are, but there are other. 192 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:39,080 Speaker 2: Guys going through this stuff. 193 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:42,480 Speaker 1: We know of it, we've seen it, and it's at 194 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:44,120 Speaker 1: this point it's like you might just have to play 195 00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:46,760 Speaker 1: through the pain a little bit. And and just like 196 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,000 Speaker 1: the mental boose, I think that gives your other guys 197 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:50,719 Speaker 1: on the roster like, damn, this guy's going to play 198 00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:53,640 Speaker 1: through this. We know how injury is. That maybe sort 199 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:56,600 Speaker 1: of like spread throughout the locker room. And it contributed too. 200 00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,960 Speaker 1: I mean there's still still Evan Mobley at eighty percent 201 00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:02,640 Speaker 1: is still better than anyone else on the Cavs pitch. 202 00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:03,760 Speaker 2: So there's that part as well. 203 00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:05,560 Speaker 1: So it was cool to see those guys play, and 204 00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:07,240 Speaker 1: I think we do have a series here now if 205 00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:09,079 Speaker 1: they can continue to play and nobody else really gets 206 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:15,000 Speaker 1: all that injured. Back to Halliburton, four points, two of eight, 207 00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:18,400 Speaker 1: shooting only five assists, three turnovers. I don't think he 208 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:21,520 Speaker 1: grabbed a rebound his first career home loss in a 209 00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:23,000 Speaker 1: postseason game that he's played in. 210 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:23,720 Speaker 2: I was like, whoa. 211 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:29,360 Speaker 1: But big credit to limiting Haliburton goes to Max Strus's 212 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:32,680 Speaker 1: full court pressure. I thought that set the defensive tone 213 00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:36,280 Speaker 1: for this team. It slowed Halliburton. Strus also contributed by 214 00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:39,480 Speaker 1: the way twenty points, seven board, seven assists, but it 215 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:43,840 Speaker 1: was the defense up in his shorts. Nothing easy and 216 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,480 Speaker 1: a little more physicality from this team. And maybe they 217 00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:48,200 Speaker 1: were allowed to do that at the Cavstock because they 218 00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:50,000 Speaker 1: had some guys back and some bodies back, and some 219 00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:51,600 Speaker 1: more minutes and you could play a little harder. 220 00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:53,440 Speaker 2: So I thought. 221 00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:55,880 Speaker 1: I thought Stres did an incredible job on Haliburton. It 222 00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:57,520 Speaker 1: was weird to see Haliburton like that was a big 223 00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:00,960 Speaker 1: disappearing act from him, and he had like sort of 224 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,880 Speaker 1: math Rine trying his best to keep him minute at times. 225 00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:08,000 Speaker 1: Siakam had his moments in this game, but overall, I mean, 226 00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:10,480 Speaker 1: Haliburton is what makes the Pacers go. Even if he's 227 00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:12,280 Speaker 1: not a guy that's going to score thirty or forty, 228 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:15,560 Speaker 1: for him to have one three point attempt to obviously 229 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:19,360 Speaker 1: have you know, close to as many turnovers as assists, 230 00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:21,720 Speaker 1: that's just a huge, huge win. So good job by 231 00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:26,880 Speaker 1: Streus and the Cavs. My other note, you know, on 232 00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:29,000 Speaker 1: the negative side of things for Cleveland, despite the win, 233 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:33,760 Speaker 1: Ty Jerome struggled again last night. This guy, I think 234 00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:36,319 Speaker 1: that the minutes, you don't want to lose him completely 235 00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:37,840 Speaker 1: and you're not going to like bench him by any 236 00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:40,439 Speaker 1: means because maybe he pops off. But he had two 237 00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:43,360 Speaker 1: points last night, one of eight shooting. I think he 238 00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:45,560 Speaker 1: only played thirteen minutes. Was that's got to be one 239 00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:48,840 Speaker 1: of his shortest stints in a very long time. So 240 00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:52,400 Speaker 1: Kenny Atkinson is pulling at back a little bit because 241 00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:54,160 Speaker 1: he can't hit a shot. He's ten of forty two 242 00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:56,760 Speaker 1: through three games. So something to keep an eye on 243 00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,719 Speaker 1: whether those you know, minutes stay around there diminish a 244 00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:02,440 Speaker 1: little and you know they go to a couple other guys. 245 00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:04,360 Speaker 1: And you were helped out by Hunter obviously giving you 246 00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:07,000 Speaker 1: at least twenty off the bench, who was fine. You 247 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,679 Speaker 1: know he's again, he's gonna out there for defensive purposes. 248 00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:13,480 Speaker 1: He hit won three and it was okay. It looked 249 00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:15,160 Speaker 1: like a guy that maybe had a buggered thumb. So 250 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:18,160 Speaker 1: maybe I'll get better as we go on. But Goodwin 251 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:21,120 Speaker 1: sort of fun that the Calves got this, I think 252 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:23,720 Speaker 1: because you know, we want we want these series to 253 00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:25,920 Speaker 1: go long. We want to how amazing would it be 254 00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,680 Speaker 1: if we get four game sevens in these in the 255 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:34,880 Speaker 1: second round, So Calves making it interesting. Moving on to 256 00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:39,679 Speaker 1: the second game from last night, entertaining overtime. I was 257 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:41,880 Speaker 1: gonna say thriller, but I don't think you need to 258 00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:46,640 Speaker 1: throw thriller on there, because we had some potential huge 259 00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:48,480 Speaker 1: game winning shots at the end that didn't go down. 260 00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:50,440 Speaker 1: Got to overtime and the Nuggets. It was one of 261 00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:52,760 Speaker 1: those classic overtimes. We see this so many times where 262 00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:54,880 Speaker 1: it's like just one team rolls. I think it was 263 00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:57,320 Speaker 1: eleven to two right for Denver in the end in 264 00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:00,439 Speaker 1: the overtime period. But fun game and nice come back 265 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:03,280 Speaker 1: again from the Nuggets. And it was a weird game 266 00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:06,200 Speaker 1: because our superstars were really struggling, but it was the 267 00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:09,719 Speaker 1: other guys on Denver coming through. It was sort of 268 00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:14,560 Speaker 1: like Murray Porter, Aaron Gordon outclassing j Dubb and chet 269 00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:17,160 Speaker 1: Holmgrin and it was like again your two, you're two 270 00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:21,240 Speaker 1: MVP superstars and Jokichen Sga. They had some rough games here, 271 00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:24,120 Speaker 1: but it was these guys duking it out. I do 272 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:28,800 Speaker 1: think Okac's inexperience once again, I guess, if we're gonna 273 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:32,840 Speaker 1: be honest, was on display down the stretch, especially in overtime, 274 00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:36,200 Speaker 1: and and we'll get into Shay and maybe his decision 275 00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:39,240 Speaker 1: making down the end. But the flip side is true too, 276 00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:42,000 Speaker 1: So if we're saying the inexperience of Okac, I thought 277 00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:44,840 Speaker 1: the experience of Denver playing in them. It feels like 278 00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:47,360 Speaker 1: Denver Nuggets have played over like what last three or 279 00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:51,360 Speaker 1: four years with basically this core, so many of these 280 00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:53,040 Speaker 1: like games that come down to the wire. And I 281 00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:57,400 Speaker 1: think Bill Simmons even tweeted last night with this postseason specifically, 282 00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:00,480 Speaker 1: Denver is six and four in the playoffs over record, 283 00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:03,600 Speaker 1: but they're four and oh now in these digging, deep, 284 00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:07,760 Speaker 1: nail biting swing games and that doesn't seem like an accident. Again, 285 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:10,600 Speaker 1: that was Simmons' tweet. A lot of truth to that. 286 00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:13,719 Speaker 1: They just make the big plays down the stretch. They 287 00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:18,000 Speaker 1: bring the physicality, they're composed enough because they got the reps. 288 00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:18,520 Speaker 2: They have a. 289 00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:22,640 Speaker 1: Million of these reps. And it felt like O, say, okay, 290 00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:25,800 Speaker 1: see looked a little shook at times as this got close, 291 00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:29,040 Speaker 1: and even in the overtime period when obviously you just 292 00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:30,680 Speaker 1: reset the thing and at zero zero. 293 00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:32,760 Speaker 2: The Superstars struggling was weird. 294 00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:36,040 Speaker 1: Jokic's twenty points eight to twenty five shooting, he missed 295 00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:38,560 Speaker 1: all ten of his three pointers. He I was gonna 296 00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:40,320 Speaker 1: say he joked after the game, but he wasn't joking. 297 00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:42,240 Speaker 1: He was like, I was the worst player out there tonight. 298 00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:45,840 Speaker 1: He matched a playoff career high by committing eight turnovers. 299 00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:48,600 Speaker 1: You gotta wonder will that be the last time he 300 00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:51,840 Speaker 1: shows up to the arena dressed as the Joker. Because 301 00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:56,040 Speaker 1: when you saw that, be honest, everyone, I thought he 302 00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:58,560 Speaker 1: was probably going for fifty and thirty. Oh god, the 303 00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:01,720 Speaker 1: guy's literally coming dressed as the Joker. I should have 304 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:04,000 Speaker 1: went and checked what he put up. What was somebody 305 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:05,600 Speaker 1: in the in the stream team, What was his stat 306 00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:07,680 Speaker 1: line that one time he showed up dressed his grew 307 00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:13,320 Speaker 1: Maybe a cosplay is not good for Jokic because he 308 00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:15,840 Speaker 1: struggled here though he did have a big what he 309 00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:18,800 Speaker 1: had that little driving layup on the opening possession of 310 00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:20,680 Speaker 1: overtime that gave the Nuggets the. 311 00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:21,600 Speaker 2: Lead for good. 312 00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:25,000 Speaker 1: And because because okay, so he only managed to score 313 00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,240 Speaker 1: two points in the extra frame. But yeah, it was 314 00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:30,080 Speaker 1: it was an off night for him. I mean, one 315 00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:32,360 Speaker 1: of his worst games we've ever seen him play, maybe 316 00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:36,240 Speaker 1: like not even just playoffs, like period, in terms of shooting. 317 00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:38,800 Speaker 1: Oh for ten was crazy. He had the game winning 318 00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:41,280 Speaker 1: attempt at the end of regulation, you know, fading away 319 00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:44,280 Speaker 1: in the corner. You know, probably could have got a 320 00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:46,240 Speaker 1: better look. But it's also this guy, It's like, yeah, 321 00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:48,520 Speaker 1: he could hit that, and you're almost like, well, he's 322 00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:51,920 Speaker 1: almost due to hit one. It wasn't far off, but 323 00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:55,840 Speaker 1: obviously didn't drop SGA. Meanwhile, just as awful seven to 324 00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:58,920 Speaker 1: twenty two. He had eighteen points, one of eight in 325 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:02,600 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, didn't even get a shot attempt in overtime, 326 00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:07,120 Speaker 1: and according to ESPN research, eighteen of SGA's twenty two 327 00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:12,360 Speaker 1: field goals attempted were contested. He was four of eighteen, 328 00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:15,200 Speaker 1: and half court sets he was three to ten when 329 00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:17,560 Speaker 1: Christian Brown was the primary defender. This guy did a 330 00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:19,720 Speaker 1: pretty damn good job on Harden. He did a great 331 00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:22,400 Speaker 1: job along with Murray in this game against SGA. They 332 00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:25,360 Speaker 1: just threw a lot of guys at him, and it 333 00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:29,040 Speaker 1: really looked like SGA was forcing it down the stretch 334 00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:31,040 Speaker 1: last night. And you wonder how this game would have 335 00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:35,680 Speaker 1: gone if SGA had delegated a little bit more to 336 00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:37,680 Speaker 1: j Dubb, who was cooking and had one of his 337 00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:42,320 Speaker 1: best games ever in the postseason. I'm just there was 338 00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:45,560 Speaker 1: Obviously SG was passing like tons and he would have 339 00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:46,280 Speaker 1: had way more assists. 340 00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:47,280 Speaker 2: Some of these guys could have hit some. 341 00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:52,680 Speaker 1: Shots too, but he really was like confident, of course, 342 00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:54,200 Speaker 1: the guy is that he was going to be the 343 00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:56,520 Speaker 1: one to close the door. And there was like two 344 00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:58,600 Speaker 1: or three guys draped all over him, and he was like, 345 00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:01,800 Speaker 1: you know, the whistle was height for them, and he 346 00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:03,520 Speaker 1: wasn't getting to the free throw line all that much. 347 00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:06,679 Speaker 1: I think he only had five free throw attempts in 348 00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:09,320 Speaker 1: the game. So good job by Denver to like not 349 00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:11,239 Speaker 1: bite on a lot of things, keep your hands up, 350 00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:14,000 Speaker 1: move your feet, just double checking. Yeah, three or five 351 00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:16,480 Speaker 1: Sga at the line, so that's a winning of itself. 352 00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:20,720 Speaker 1: But yeah, he just forced it. I thought he was 353 00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:23,560 Speaker 1: just forcing some weird shots. And this guy's like definition 354 00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:26,639 Speaker 1: of cool and fluid and smooth, and he was the 355 00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:30,240 Speaker 1: opposite down the stretch last night. So again it was 356 00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:33,600 Speaker 1: j dub hitting all the big shots and maybe a 357 00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:35,880 Speaker 1: little bit more of him and they pull off Game 358 00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:39,040 Speaker 1: three victory. But Sga walking off the court had the 359 00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:41,600 Speaker 1: huge smile on his face, sort of creepy. It's like, 360 00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:43,840 Speaker 1: what does this guy know? He said it was his 361 00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:47,359 Speaker 1: reaction to like taunting from Nuggets fans, and you're like, 362 00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:49,879 Speaker 1: you know, again, he's a cool cucumber, this guy, And 363 00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:52,160 Speaker 1: he talked about it in the postgame comments stuff like that. 364 00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:55,760 Speaker 1: So kiss confidence, I don't think is gonna waiver. You know, 365 00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:58,879 Speaker 1: both of these guys, he'll kitchen sga. You know, you 366 00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:01,639 Speaker 1: should never gamble because you'll probably just lose. But whatever 367 00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:05,840 Speaker 1: their line is in terms of points or totals for points, rebounds, assists, like, 368 00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:08,240 Speaker 1: I feel pretty good hitting the over in the next 369 00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:12,520 Speaker 1: game despite the defensive effort from both teams and trying 370 00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:14,800 Speaker 1: to just take those guys away. And maybe this is 371 00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:16,240 Speaker 1: gonna be a series where it is the other guys 372 00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:18,440 Speaker 1: that have to come through. One of the guys that 373 00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:22,640 Speaker 1: did Aaron Gordon game tying three twenty eight seconds left, 374 00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:27,159 Speaker 1: did chech just fall asleep and just lose him, like 375 00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:29,800 Speaker 1: took his eyes off them, and Gordon wisely went to 376 00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:32,000 Speaker 1: the corner. It got swung over to him. He was 377 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,520 Speaker 1: wide open home. Obviously, tries to close out, but way 378 00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:38,240 Speaker 1: too late. He bangs it home because the guy can't miss. 379 00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:41,120 Speaker 1: You know, just everybody go live in a basketball gym 380 00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:45,119 Speaker 1: and we'll all make the NBA. Aaron Gordon's third game 381 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:47,520 Speaker 1: tying or go ahead bucket in the final thirty seconds 382 00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:50,600 Speaker 1: of the fourth quarter during these playoffs, including the game 383 00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:54,399 Speaker 1: winning three in Game one of this series, guys clutch 384 00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:56,800 Speaker 1: right now, and it was like it's at the point 385 00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:58,960 Speaker 1: where it's like when that got swung to him and 386 00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:01,119 Speaker 1: he was wide open, It's like, that's like, what are 387 00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:03,679 Speaker 1: they doing? Like this guy, he's got all the confidence 388 00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:07,520 Speaker 1: in the world. So Gordon, Jamal Murray and the one 389 00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:10,120 Speaker 1: armed man Michael Porter Junior. I thought they all rose 390 00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:14,000 Speaker 1: to the occasion. They carried joker Michael Porter Junior in 391 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,000 Speaker 1: the first half especially, it was the one scoring. He 392 00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:19,080 Speaker 1: finished with twenty one points, eight boards, Gordon twenty two, 393 00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:24,160 Speaker 1: eight and five, and then Murray Jamal Murray playoff Murray 394 00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:29,359 Speaker 1: playoff Jamal twenty seven points, eight assists, four steals. He 395 00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:31,360 Speaker 1: had some beautiful plays. 396 00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:31,560 Speaker 2: In this game. 397 00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:34,879 Speaker 1: That jelly layup that he had in the third quarter, 398 00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:37,560 Speaker 1: I think it was a thing of beauty. He hit 399 00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:40,960 Speaker 1: a jumper late in the game. I think it was 400 00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:42,679 Speaker 1: a rule to two if I remember correctly. He was 401 00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:44,879 Speaker 1: close to the three point line. He had hertenstein on 402 00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:48,199 Speaker 1: an island and he'd banged that one home in the corner. 403 00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:51,920 Speaker 1: And then probably the biggest place sort of like sort 404 00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:55,040 Speaker 1: of sealed the win was the play in overtime where 405 00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:58,920 Speaker 1: he had quick hands on j dubb the ball, Pope 406 00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:03,600 Speaker 1: poked loose nuggets in transition. Jamal gout obviously like and 407 00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:05,640 Speaker 1: was gunning the other way. There were was defenders back 408 00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:07,560 Speaker 1: like I think Dort was back. There was another thunder 409 00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:10,600 Speaker 1: player in the mix, and it felt like Jamal I 410 00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:12,439 Speaker 1: know he did it, I'm an exaggerating, but felt like 411 00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:17,440 Speaker 1: he switched hands like five times and then finished at 412 00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:19,000 Speaker 1: Dort over the rim, and that sort of was like 413 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,440 Speaker 1: the one that I think sort of was the nail 414 00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:23,800 Speaker 1: in the coffin at that point in the game, especially 415 00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:26,440 Speaker 1: with how the Nuggets defense was locked in in overtime. 416 00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:30,440 Speaker 1: So great game from those three. These are all champions, man, 417 00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:33,600 Speaker 1: they're all champs. Like, yeah, Yokich is the man, but 418 00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:36,120 Speaker 1: they don't win that title without all three of those 419 00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:40,159 Speaker 1: guys contributing, you know, in different situations in different series 420 00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:44,000 Speaker 1: and stuff like that. So that trio again ag MPJ 421 00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:47,600 Speaker 1: and playoff Jamal eleven to seventeen from three point range. 422 00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:52,600 Speaker 1: So huge stuff from them. Really, really, I thought, entertaining 423 00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:56,800 Speaker 1: game and this entire postseason is just unreal. I was 424 00:20:56,840 --> 00:21:02,359 Speaker 1: at a friend's party last night before the first game, 425 00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:05,000 Speaker 1: or at least I got back around halftime and caught up, 426 00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:11,359 Speaker 1: and these are some casual NBA fans, but man, everyone 427 00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,679 Speaker 1: was like, how awesome are these playoffs? Like? 428 00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:18,159 Speaker 2: How sick are these games? All these comebacks? Huge shots? 429 00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:20,560 Speaker 1: Feels like every night And a lot of talk was 430 00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:24,439 Speaker 1: like this feels wide open too, So there's like, you 431 00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:26,520 Speaker 1: know again, we went over this on Friday Show. It's like, 432 00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:29,720 Speaker 1: could you make the case that all eight teams could 433 00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:33,680 Speaker 1: win the title? I think you can make the case 434 00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:38,000 Speaker 1: for sure, legitimately that all eight teams could meet in 435 00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:40,760 Speaker 1: the finals. You know what I mean, there's a path 436 00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:42,840 Speaker 1: for all of them here, and I think a lot 437 00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:44,399 Speaker 1: of people get a kick out of that. So like 438 00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:46,840 Speaker 1: that idea of parody, I guess right now or at 439 00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:49,639 Speaker 1: least at this stage, is great. And I'm sure we 440 00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:52,080 Speaker 1: were helped out by some of the sixty win teams 441 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:54,639 Speaker 1: losing a couple games at home. I'm talking Cleveland, I'm 442 00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:58,359 Speaker 1: talking Boston. You got okay, see here of flirting with 443 00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:00,800 Speaker 1: seventy wins, they now trail in there, so they gotta 444 00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:05,479 Speaker 1: face some adversity obviously, the Wolves, Warriors, that sort of 445 00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:07,560 Speaker 1: you can convince yourself you can go both ways. Can 446 00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:10,120 Speaker 1: Curry get back in time? Does even come back? Because 447 00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:13,160 Speaker 1: Minnesota can they take care of business? So anyway, it's awesome. 448 00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:16,800 Speaker 1: The buzz is real. The casuals are locked in, and 449 00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:19,080 Speaker 1: it's a great time to be a basketball fan right now. 450 00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:23,480 Speaker 1: I'm very excited for Game three today in Madison Square Garden. 451 00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:26,879 Speaker 1: Celtics Knicks. What's a ticket to get into this place 452 00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:31,439 Speaker 1: right now? Two thousand dollars. I'm not probably even exaggerating. 453 00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:34,080 Speaker 1: It's very expensive. 454 00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:34,679 Speaker 2: Whatever it is. 455 00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:39,240 Speaker 1: I would be a little fearful if I was a 456 00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:42,359 Speaker 1: Knicks fan dropping two thousand dollars on this game. 457 00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:43,640 Speaker 2: I'm like scared. 458 00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:46,040 Speaker 1: You gotta be a little scared that this is like 459 00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:49,679 Speaker 1: suddenly maybe like we saw with Cleveland last night, you know, 460 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:52,240 Speaker 1: a bit of a beatdown. Maybe the Celtics three point 461 00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:55,760 Speaker 1: tsunami drops, but the Knicks are scrappy, so hopefully it's 462 00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:57,320 Speaker 1: a close game. That one's on ABC. And then we 463 00:22:57,359 --> 00:22:59,840 Speaker 1: got Wolves Warriors Game three, series tied at one one 464 00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:03,679 Speaker 1: tonight on ABC. So nice little schedule here. Rainy day 465 00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:06,919 Speaker 1: here in Atlanta. Won't be doing a whole lot, not 466 00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:08,840 Speaker 1: hitting a patty or anything. So we'll be locked in 467 00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:12,560 Speaker 1: for this one and then two more games on Sunday. 468 00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:15,480 Speaker 1: But we'll call it there. We'll keep it quick. Appreciate 469 00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:18,359 Speaker 1: you all joining me for twenty or twenty five minutes.

Did we really just come out of 474 00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:32,439 Speaker 1: the commercial two seconds before that buzzer beating sorry buzzer 475 00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:36,720 Speaker 1: beater was launched by Yo kitch zero build up, zero, 476 00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:37,159 Speaker 1: set up. 477 00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:38,320 Speaker 2: You'll get you for the win. 478 00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:42,480 Speaker 1: No good, We'll be right back after this end quote 479 00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:46,359 Speaker 1: on that tweet from from Rob Yeah, what the hell? 480 00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:50,040 Speaker 1: I mean, it's I get it. You gotta get these 481 00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:53,040 Speaker 1: commercials in. They pay a lot of money for this stuff. 482 00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:58,520 Speaker 1: But man, it's it's just sad.

We're gonna have 485 00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:08,320 Speaker 1: like the multi time MVP is likely gonna get the 486 00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:10,359 Speaker 1: ball and have a crack out winning this thing. And 487 00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:12,760 Speaker 1: it's like we had to jam in that commercial. 488 00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:13,320 Speaker 2: We come right back. 489 00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:14,840 Speaker 1: We're like, oh there it's going on okay, and we'll 490 00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:16,359 Speaker 1: see you later.
