Speaker 4: want to talk about basketball.

40
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:21,360
Speaker 7: I was thinking about coming up with a top five

41
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:25,359
Speaker 7: Leprechauns because there's been a lot of leprechaun talk skeets

42
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 7: in the past forty eight hours. But honestly, as soon

43
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 7: as I googled best Leprechauns, I knew I had taken

44
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:34,919
Speaker 7: an l so I had I had to put it

45
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 7: on the back burner. Maybe it'll be back for the drop. Basically,

46
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 7: what I'm saying is I don't know if there are

47
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 7: five great leprechauns, and I can't include Lucky on the

48
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 7: list right now. I can't do it. So help me out.

49
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 7: Tweet me some of your favorite leprechauns.

50
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:53,080
Speaker 4: Okay, please, I can't. I mean, the only leprechaun I

51
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 4: can think of is that awesome YouTube clip where the

52
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 4: guy yells if anybody's seen a leprechaun, let me hear

53
00:02:58,200 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 4: you say, yeah, then they.

54
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 7: Probably it would make your list. If I'm going to

55
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 7: be honest, that's Aldreire obviously, Warwick Davis Leprechaun. I think

56
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 7: he was the star of that is going to be

57
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 7: up there, and the Lucky Charms Leprechaun. But there are

58
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 7: still at least two spots open, so send in the

59
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 7: best laps.

60
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:16,919
Speaker 8: Yeah, what about the dude from Austin Powers, isn't he

00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 7: What was his name? He says it right there always

64
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:31,800
Speaker 7: after me? All right for swoggle in the mix, of course,

65
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:33,480

00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 4: basketball here to celebrate five hundred episodes with the athletic

68
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 4: that's not counting, by the way, tasses, what how many

69
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 4: did you get up to ninety plus? What you need

70
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 4: to know is that, right, maybeybe that ninety two?

71
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 5: Ninety two?

72
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 4: Oh my goodness? Okay, so that well really actually well

73
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:54,119
Speaker 4: over five hundred. So let's just get talking hoops here

74
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 4: and we will start. We'll start in the Western Conference,

75
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 4: only two games on last night, so we can actually,

76
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 4: you know, put a little focus into these, a little attention.

77
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 4: We'll start at Donovan Mitchell scoring thirty as the Jazz

78
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 4: beat the Grizzlies and they take that three to one

79
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 4: series lead. I thought we were going to have all

80
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 4: four Western Conference matchups, possibly two too, but in the end,

81
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 4: the number one seeded Grizzlies do take that three to

82
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,480
Speaker 4: one series lead with the one twenty one to thirteen victory.

83
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 4: League at a start of man, what do you want

84
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 4: to touch on?

85
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:24,480
Speaker 2: Well?

86
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,160
Speaker 8: Not the good battle and the Grizzlies continued to impress

87
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 8: with their fight. But as this series goes on, I

88
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:31,719
Speaker 8: think you're seeing just the experience of the Jazz, and

89
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:33,600
Speaker 8: I think it was again the case last night, because

90
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 8: this one was a thirteen point game after three quarters.

91
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:39,840
Speaker 8: The Jazz and the Grizzlies made a run, but it

92
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 8: came from an unlikely source. It was kind of found

93
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 8: money in the Anthony Melton really bringing them back into that.

94
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:47,479
Speaker 8: But it was down to two points with just over

95
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 8: five minutes to go. But I think you could just

96
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 8: then see what the Jazz got. They basically got three

97
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,480
Speaker 8: really good looks, two from Conley and one from Bogdanovitch

98
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 8: from three that were, you know, for the most part,

99
00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 8: open enough and they knocked them in. And again that

100
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,280
Speaker 8: sort of was more reflective of the entire story here

101
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 8: for the Jazz. Seventeen for thirty four for the game

102
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:07,480
Speaker 8: from three point range, and that's a huge percentage, and

103
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:10,040
Speaker 8: that's a lot of threes to make, and everyone except

104
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 8: for Jingles. Jingles couldn't register one last night, but everyone

105
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:15,679
Speaker 8: who shoots them, outside of course, Favors and Go Bearts

106
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:18,159
Speaker 8: Go Beert hit a couple last night, and I just

107
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:21,160
Speaker 8: think that just shows how varied their offense is. They

108
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:24,039
Speaker 8: get so many guys who can score and shoot. Jordan

109
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,119
Speaker 8: Clarkson had a good game off the bench. Rudy Gobert

110
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 8: himself didn't have a good first half, very quiet, but

111
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 8: then he got some baskets easy but easier baskets in

112
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 8: that second half there, and every time it felt like

113
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 8: the Grizzlies were pushing, they were using their energy just

114
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:39,679
Speaker 8: to sort of stay and keep up with the Jazz.

115
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 8: I thought, whereas the Jazz just again when they needed to,

116
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 8: they could just keep stretching the game out here. And

117
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 8: that's really what I think it was. It was just

118
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:49,360
Speaker 8: that the inexperience of the Grizzlies. They made a few

119
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 8: turnovers down the stretch there as well, but impressive performance.

120
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,039
Speaker 8: But I think as we head back to Utah, this

121
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 8: one's got douchey written all over. I really don't see

122
00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:00,679
Speaker 8: the Jazz losing a game five at home, and really

123
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 8: considering where this series started. Of course, with the controversy

124
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,039
Speaker 8: in game one, Donovan Mitchell not playing calling out the team,

125
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,840
Speaker 8: they lose that game, jar Moran has a huge game,

126
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 8: you sort of feel that like, Okay, maybe this one

127
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,039
Speaker 8: has upset over it, but now the Jazz have just

128
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 8: really done enough to fend off a worthy adversary. I

129
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:19,359
Speaker 8: think that Grizzlies have really impressed a lot of people,

130
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 8: and I know, Skeizy, one thing you talk about is

131
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 8: you like a team to battle in that first round.

132
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 8: It sort of builds them up. But I think you're

133
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 8: seeing that, even though it is likely going to be

134
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,280
Speaker 8: a douchebag suite. I think the Jazz come away from this,

135
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:31,360
Speaker 8: you know, realizing that they're in for a bit of

136
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 8: a scrap and they're going to have to improve their defense.

137
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 8: I thought, still, the Grizzlies get inside a little bit

138
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 8: too easy, and if they were to face a team

139
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 8: like the Clippers, who they're scheduled to face, if the

140
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:43,600
Speaker 8: Clippers win that series against the Mavericks, they're going to

141
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:45,920
Speaker 8: have to be much better at stopping guys like Paul

142
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:47,720
Speaker 8: George and Kawhi Leonard from getting in the paint there.

143
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 8: So good impressive win again from the Jazz last night.

144
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 8: Mitchell had thirty and was their star, but I think

145
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:56,279
Speaker 8: they got so many contributions from everyone who played, which

146
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 8: is the Jazz when they're at their best.

147
00:06:58,080 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think kindly sort of see if there are

148
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 4: a little bit there last night, because they just went

149
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:04,360
Speaker 4: ice cold there in the fourth. You said the Grizzlies

150
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 4: open it up with a twelve two run Memphis always

151
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 4: like claused your way back into these games. And then yeah,

152
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 4: it was Conley that ended the Jazz scoring drought there

153
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 4: he hit that three that will step back, and he

154
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 4: blocked a jumper by John Rant and he hit another three.

155
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 4: Mike Conley's been damn good in this series. He's averaging

156
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 4: twenty ten and five with shooting splits of forty six

157
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 4: percent from the floor, fifty three percent from deeply, and

158
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 4: one hundred percent at the line. I knew you like

159
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 4: that part. Sixteen three pointers, forty one assists, and only

160
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 4: turned the ball over eight times in four games. I'm

161
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 4: oddly finding myself cheering for, like Mike Conley in the

162
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 4: West with the Jazz and then Drew Holiday on the

163
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 4: Bucks in the East. I think it's like some weird

164
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 4: like lowry factor that's going on here, like these sort

165
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 4: of unheralded vet point guards. You know, obviously being a

166
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 4: lowry fan that you've got in these guys in Conley

167
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 4: and Drew Holiday that sort of bring it on both

168
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 4: ends too. But honestly, he's been awesome in this series TK,

169
00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 4: and I thought again, he sort of like you're right,

170
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 4: Mitchell gets the headline with the three piece. But Conley

171
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 4: was awesome at the right time in this game.

172
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 7: Yeah, Conley was actually the story for me as well.

173
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 7: It seemed like he had a lot more than six

174
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 7: points in the fourth quarter. He just hit two threes,

175
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 7: but they were both massive. They were just really momentum killers.

176
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 7: And you mentioned it on the show recently, Skeets that

177
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 7: it's funny watching Mike Conley play in Memphis because you

178
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 7: would think that the fans would get so mad at Conley,

179
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 7: like hitting a momentum killing shot, but it's like they're

180
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 7: just happy for him too. They're like, oh, you're appscallion,

181
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 7: you got us this time, Mike Conley. But I thought

182
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 7: he was great, And I thought Mitchell was actually pretty

183
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 7: good in the fourth quarter too. The shots weren't falling,

184
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,080
Speaker 7: but he kept attacking, took a ton of free throws.

185
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 7: The whole team followed suit. Jazz went three of sixteen

186
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 7: from the field in the fourth quarter, but they made

187
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 7: eleven of their twelve free throws. They're a good jump

188
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 7: shooting team. They won the jump shooting battle last night again.

189
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 7: That's really the stat of this series. The Jazz went

190
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 7: seventeen of thirty four from three You shoot fifty percent

191
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,560
Speaker 7: on thirty four threes, you're probably gonna win the game.

192
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 7: But they weren't hot. In the fourth quarter, Conley made

193
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 7: a couple and they just kept getting to the line.

194
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 7: Those are efficient shots right there.

195
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 4: Yea, What was your takeaway tasks from this game? For

196
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 4: victory here from the Jazz?

197
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 5: Well, people want to label the Jazz, you know, try

198
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,840
Speaker 5: and classify them as an older teams, a team that

199
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 5: didn't win the championship. People are looking for the comparison.

200
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:21,720
Speaker 5: We've talked about the Atlanta Hawks in fourteen fifteen. That's

201
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:25,080
Speaker 5: sixty win team with Paul Millsap and Al Horford. People

202
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 5: now comparing them to the two thousand and nine Orlando

203
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,840
Speaker 5: Magic that went to the finals. Dwight Howard is your

204
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,840
Speaker 5: Rudy Gobert with a bunch of shooters like Roshard Lewis,

205
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:37,960
Speaker 5: Jamiir Nelson, Hito Turgo Lurans. That's a decent one. But

206
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 5: I think if you look at this Utah Jazz team,

207
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 5: all these guys do everything and that's the positive for

208
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 5: the Utah Jazz going forward into the second round. In

209
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 5: the third round, like boy Onun Bugdanovich, you think of

210
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 5: him as a shooter. But the way he's getting into

211
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:57,839
Speaker 5: the lane and he's doing the pass that every point

212
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 5: guard has in the NBA. All good point art's having

213
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 5: the NBA where you get into the land and you

214
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 5: whip it to the opposite corn. Boy I'm a Magdanovic

215
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 5: is doing that with his left hand right now. It

216
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:08,840
Speaker 5: might not always be on the money, but boy On's

217
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 5: got that in his bag. Where we've talked about Mike

218
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 5: Conley and his little redemption tour here after having a

219
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 5: bad playoffs last year, that was a block, two rebounds,

220
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:20,720
Speaker 5: and a three pointer that stretched there in the fourth quarter,

221
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 5: where yeah, you're right, trade it seemed like he had

222
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 5: a bigger fourth quarter because points wise he didn't. But

223
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 5: he was making all the right plays and just did

224
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 5: all the little key things and Donvid Mitchell closes it out.

225
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:33,959
Speaker 5: So it's way different, I think than an Atlanta Hawks

226
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 5: team or even the Orlando Magic team, the Ortlanto Magic

227
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 5: when they got to the Lakers, they didn't have a closer.

228
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,679
Speaker 5: It's key now, or it's clear, I should say Donvin

229
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 5: Mitchell the closer. In the crappy part for the Grizzlies

230
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:48,680
Speaker 5: in this series is they let Jordan Clarkson get cooking

231
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:52,440
Speaker 5: in game three after he went one for fourteen the

232
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 5: first two games. Clarkson is he's a heat check and

233
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 5: so he saw a couple go through in game three,

234
00:10:57,400 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 5: and then he had four threes in game four. So

235
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 5: to me, it's understandable why everybody kind of compares them

236
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 5: to teams that didn't get over the hump, that didn't

237
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 5: have what it takes to win, because they are all

238
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:14,839
Speaker 5: going to have to contribute, and right now they are.

239
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 5: They're all doing what it takes to get there and

240
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 5: get to the last few minutes where Donovan Mitchell's going

241
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 5: to take over. So that was a quick turn. Game one,

242
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 5: it looked bad for them. Obviously Donovan Mitchell was out.

243
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 5: They get the stories, the headlines, Oh, Donovan Mitchell doesn't

244
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,320
Speaker 5: like us trainer's trainer, or I should say his trainer's

245
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 5: feuding with the Jazz trainers. But they've gone through those

246
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 5: ups and downs before, obviously with the whole pandemic situation

247
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 5: and Rudy Gobert touching everyone's mics and Donovan Mitchell not

248
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 5: talking to Rudy Gobert for a week, so I think

249
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 5: they can come together. They have coalesced real quickly, and

250
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 5: when they get to the second round, as they definitely will,

251
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:53,559
Speaker 5: they should have all the momentum on their side and

252
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 5: they should be the favorite in that series against the

253
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:57,840
Speaker 5: Clippers or the MAVs.

254
00:11:58,080 --> 00:11:59,679
Speaker 4: I'm glad you brought up that comparison. I saw that

255
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:01,680
Speaker 4: twet two tasks and it was making a way around

256
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:05,560
Speaker 4: on Twitter at Emmanuel Loss actually was he tweeted at us.

257
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:08,200
Speaker 4: He threw it out. There is a comparison between the

258
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 4: nine Magic, the one that went to the finals and

259
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 4: loss to this year's Jazz team. Is it legit or

260
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 4: is it crazy? And I loved it And thanks to

261
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:18,840
Speaker 4: Emmanuel for tweeting it in. I did a little deep

262
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 4: dive on it just to like go back and check, like,

263
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 4: of course, the style they play and all that. Jazz

264
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 4: finished fifty too to twenty, so number one record in

265
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 4: the league.

266
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:26,200
Speaker 2: This year.

267
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 4: The Magic were fifty nine and twenty three. I mean

268
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 4: it was a full season. That was good for third

269
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 4: in the East, so they were obviously one of the

270
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 4: top teams. The Jazz led the league this year in

271
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:39,559
Speaker 4: net rating, third best offense, fourth best defense. The Magic

272
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:42,319
Speaker 4: had the league's fourth best rating and eleventh ranked office,

273
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 4: but they had the best defense with Dwight Howard, and

274
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 4: then yeah, when you look at the style, obviously it's

275
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 4: the Dwight Gobert comparison, like the elite defensive guy in

276
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 4: the middle, and then they just both let it fly

277
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 4: from the perimeter and have a bunch of guys. Jazz

278
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 4: has Mitchell Clarkson, bogie Ingles Conley, firing away, goes, on

279
00:12:58,080 --> 00:12:59,439
Speaker 4: and on. They ranked first in the league and three

280
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 4: pointers made three points attempt this year. The Magic were

281
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:05,680
Speaker 4: second in that nine season in both of those categories

282
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 4: because they had Richard Lewis, Turk Jamiir jj Reddick, Courtney

283
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 4: Lee mckhil. Petris, if you remember, in a playoff series,

284
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 4: was on fire. He was hitting threes and was decent

285
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 4: in the regular season. And then even like expectations coming

286
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 4: into the year, the Jazz were plus four thousand to

287
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:25,719
Speaker 4: win the title coming in here, so a lot of

288
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 4: people not picking them the Magic that year. Back then

289
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:30,439
Speaker 4: they have this up on Basketball Reference, which is sort

290
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 4: of cool. Yeah, we're plus two thousand, so you know,

291
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 4: like a far far fetched team to win the title,

292
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:38,400
Speaker 4: and of course they didn't, so you would have lost

293
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 4: money if you made that bet. But anyway, the year prior,

294
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 4: the Magic had gone out in the second round of

295
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 4: the Pistons in like five games, so it's not like

296
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 4: they had gone deep. But I think there's something there.

297
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:49,840
Speaker 4: And hey, look the Magic in O eight O nine

298
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 4: had to get by Lebron, and did I think it

299
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:55,560
Speaker 4: shocked some people. Now, Lebron did not have a good team,

300
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 4: but Lebron was a monster. He was putting up like

301
00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:02,080
Speaker 4: thirty nine, eight and eighths in that series. It's exactly

302
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 4: right game two, right, I think, in that series, and

303
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 4: then you know, possibly who knows what happens in the

304
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 4: Suns Lakers series and moving forward in all of the

305
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:13,960
Speaker 4: series in the West, but maybe maybe the Jazz would

306
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 4: have to go through a Lebron team in what would

307
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 4: be the West Finals. Magic Cows was in the East Finals,

308
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 4: so there could be similarities too. So I don't know.

309
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 4: I don't think it's I don't think it's that crazy. Again,

310
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 4: the Hawks one gets thrown around all the time, but

311
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 4: especially with the Gobert, Dwight and then just all these

312
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 4: guys that can make plays and let it fly on

313
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 4: the perimeter. I think there's something there. Trey, I thought

314
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 4: it was a great tweet from Manuel.

315
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 7: Yeah, it totally makes sense. That's a good way to

316
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 7: build a team. Run pick and roll if you have

317
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 7: a dominant big man, whether it be Dwight Howard or

318
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 7: Rudy Gobert. I'm personally taking Dwight over Rudy, but then

319
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 7: I'm probably taking the rest of the Jazz over the

320
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 7: rest of the Magic, like I think he would probably

321
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 7: take Donovan Mitchell over Jamir Nelson. Maybe it's a close

322
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 7: call between Boyon and Hido Turkalou who's better at throwing

323
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 7: alley oops off the glass that maybe shot attempts. Only

324
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 7: time will tell, But that's a good way to build

325
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 7: a team. If you're not necessarily going to have a

326
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 7: ton of perimeter go get a bucket talent, superstar talent

327
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 7: on the perimeter. You got to shoot a lot of threes,

328
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 7: and the Jazz have been shooting three as well for

329
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 7: the entirety of the season. Last night no different.

330
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, Lee, what do you think of that fun comparison

331
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 4: the eight to oh nine? Yeah, Magic to go to

332
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 4: the finals and lose to this year's dass.

333
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 8: Team, Yeah, it makes sense. I'll just point out as well,

334
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 8: though they did beat the Celtics without Kevin Garnett, who

335
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:29,280
Speaker 8: was injured that series, So and that was a Game

336
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 8: seven in Boston they had to win. I think Petris

337
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 8: actually was big in that game, if I remember in

338
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 8: the fourth quarter and the Turklu and Bogdanovitch is a

339
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 8: fair comparison. I probably would actually take Turkeley for that

340
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 8: season because he was really good that season. He was

341
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 8: really good in that role. He basically that was his

342
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 8: high watermark, though he never reached that level again, but

343
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 8: he was really he just fitted in perfectly to that

344
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 8: system because he could hit the three, he could handle

345
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 8: the ball, and he could pass it in there to Dwight.

346
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 8: So I think he had a little he offered a

347
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 8: little more than Boggie does right now. But overall, I'd

348
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 8: probably take Boggy because I think he's got a longer

349
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 8: career and a higher trajectory. But yeah, it's a fun comparison.

350
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 8: And stan Van Gundy was kind of ahead of the

351
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 8: curve like that. He felt you have a big man

352
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 8: inside so that if you double off him, any one

353
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:13,360
Speaker 8: of those guys can hit the three. Now, Rudy doesn't

354
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:16,720
Speaker 8: have quite that same intimidation as far as his offensive game.

355
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 8: As far as you know, you can throw them the loves

356
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 8: as well as Dwight. I would still take Dwight out

357
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 8: of those two. But it's the same sort of thing

358
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 8: where it's like, if anyone is open, anyone on that

359
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 8: perimeter should be able to shoot threes. And again, apart

360
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 8: from Favors and go Bear, everybody does for the Jazz,

361
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 8: and they shoot him at a fairly high clip for

362
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 8: the most part when they're playing their best, it's just

363
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 8: seems impossible to stop.

364
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 4: Do you remember who the nine Magic played in the

365
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 4: first round league? You remember the second round?

366
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:41,920
Speaker 8: You remember Atlanta, wasn't it?

367
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 4: No? They played the Sixers. Oh. I thought it was

368
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 4: interesting because we keep talking about how young this Grizzlies

369
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:49,920
Speaker 4: team is and how much of a fight they're putting up.

370
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 4: It took six games for that knowin Magic team to

371
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 4: beat the Sixers. And you know, they had a vet

372
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 4: in Andre Miller as their point cod who had a

373
00:16:57,280 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 4: great series. He scored twenty per game in that series.

374
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 4: Andre Miller thirty two. And they had like theil Ratliffe.

375
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 4: But they did have a twenty five year old Andrea Goudola,

376
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:07,119
Speaker 4: a twenty two year old Lou Williams, a twenty year

377
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 4: old Thatteus young All starting all these games, so sort

378
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 4: of some youthful energy to a young sixer squad.

379
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 8: That was dunk on. Was it Drew Holiday that he

380
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 8: smashed in that one?

381
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:18,879
Speaker 4: I couldn't tell you.

382
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 7: Didn't he get ejected in that series for like a

383
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:22,600
Speaker 7: flagrant or something like that.

384
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:25,200
Speaker 5: I think Sam Samuel Dallan Bear album.

385
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's right. I mean he was on the team

386
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:28,120
Speaker 4: for sure, so that sounds right.

387
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:30,199
Speaker 8: It would have been in fact for that.

388
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, maybe that's why I went it's six in the end.

389
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:35,159
Speaker 4: So anyway, you know, there's a little fight there in

390
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 4: the first round. Maybe that's similar here to the Jazz too,

391
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:39,919
Speaker 4: so we'll see. Yeah, you think Trey that they're going

392
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:41,679
Speaker 4: to take care of business in game five and it

393
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:42,720
Speaker 4: is the douchebag sweep.

394
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:45,720
Speaker 7: Yeah, to me, it's looking like Donovan Mitchell was right

395
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 7: and he should have played in Game one. I think

396
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 7: that was just the perfect storm for the Grizzlies to

397
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:51,720
Speaker 7: steal a win. They had just come off the play

398
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 7: in tournament, they'd played a whole bunch of high stakes

399
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:56,840
Speaker 7: games at the end of the regular season. Meanwhile, the

400
00:17:56,920 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 7: Jads were hoping to get Donovan Mitchell back after eight

401
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 7: ten games messed. I guess it was probably seventeen at

402
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:03,880
Speaker 7: that point, but they were hoping to get him back.

403
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 7: They get the sudden news right before the game tips

404
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:09,199
Speaker 7: that they don't have him back. They just threw them

405
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:11,200
Speaker 7: off and they still almost won that game, to be honest,

406
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:13,080
Speaker 7: So yeah, give me the Jazz in game five?

407
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, what do you think Lee's just went over?

408
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 5: Yeah?

409
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 8: It is. I really think Utah just know that they

410
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 8: are the better team. They're deeper, and the Grizzlies are

411
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 8: having to rely a little bit more on sort of

412
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 8: someone having a huge game like a Jamoran and I

413
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:30,600
Speaker 8: think that just even he had another good game there

414
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 8: last night, but I think they can sort of live

415
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:35,440
Speaker 8: with him or the other guys. It's not not both.

416
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:37,679
Speaker 8: And that's the problem with the Grizzlies. They're just an

417
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:40,200
Speaker 8: inexperienced team is showing it a little bit in these

418
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:41,720
Speaker 8: last couple of games, and that's the way it should

419
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 8: be when you're the number one seed and you've been together.

420
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:46,400
Speaker 8: They've got that continuity in the Utah Jazz you want

421
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 8: to start to see in the playoffs, and again after

422
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:51,960
Speaker 8: the sluggish start, or the bad start. They have shown

423
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 8: that because when it's winning time, they've just got the

424
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:56,160
Speaker 8: experience to pull away from the Grizzlies. And I think

425
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 8: going back to Utah, they know they don't want to

426
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 8: go back to Memphis to have to play another game.

427
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,240
Speaker 8: I want to rock this series up and get ready

428
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 8: for ROM two.

429
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:05,479
Speaker 4: Yeah, I will say, I mean, you can't turn it

430
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:08,399
Speaker 4: off with Memphis. I love that, like even when they're down,

431
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:10,440
Speaker 4: you know, like go bear at a huge third quarter

432
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:12,439
Speaker 4: and it looked like, okay, here we go, Jazz are

433
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 4: going to put this one away. And sure enough that

434
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:16,639
Speaker 4: start to the fourth quarter and suddenly a game and

435
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 4: we get into these like one possession moments here where Yeah,

436
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 4: maybe the experience of the Jazz and the vets like

437
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:23,880
Speaker 4: Conley and Barganovic hit a huge three in the corner

438
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:26,879
Speaker 4: two coming through. But that's okay. These reps are good, right,

439
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:28,920
Speaker 4: task Like this is a good season. If Memphis loses

440
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:31,400
Speaker 4: in five here to the Utah Jazz. As we're talking

441
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 4: up the Jazz as a potential you know, finals team

442
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 4: or how far they could go, you're not going to

443
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:39,000
Speaker 4: be angry with this, right As a Grizzlies fan getting

444
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 4: into the playoffs to begin with, and then putting up

445
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:43,199
Speaker 4: at least a fight against the good team. Is this

446
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 4: a positive year for.

447
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:48,680
Speaker 5: Them, No doubt it's It's a very very positive year.

448
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:52,440
Speaker 5: All these guys coming through, playing together, playing hard. Second

449
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 5: youngest team in the NBA for sure, and they can

450
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 5: look at the Utah Jazz as their prototype, as their

451
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:02,080
Speaker 5: model as trying to get deeper and deeper the Jazz.

452
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:07,919
Speaker 5: You have, guys, we're talking about these NBA Finals or

453
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:12,720
Speaker 5: NBA Playoffs comparisons throughout history, teams that sort of do

454
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 5: it by committee. The Jazz are one of them, with

455
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:19,760
Speaker 5: their superstar light in Donovan Mitchell and the same goals

456
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 5: for John Ran and the Memphis Grizzlies. So yeah, they

457
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:26,639
Speaker 5: should try and try and emulate what the Grizzlies or

458
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:28,439
Speaker 5: what the Jazz are doing. So of course they should be.

459
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:32,879
Speaker 5: They should be super, super super positive about their season.

460
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 5: No one really expected them to do it. They did

461
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:36,680
Speaker 5: in the Western Conference, they'd be like a one seed

462
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 5: in the Eastern Conference. They had a freaking great year.

463
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,159
Speaker 4: Any concernaly that the Jazz are up three to one

464
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:45,680
Speaker 4: in this series. No, it didn't go well last year.

465
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 8: No, I did it but again, I think this is

466
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:51,240
Speaker 8: where the bubble helped the road team because there wasn't

467
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 8: that home court that they could come back to. And

468
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:55,200
Speaker 8: you know, in Utah, it is a tough place to win.

469
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 8: You know, they've been very very good there this season.

470
00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 8: They always are because it's just a toughen vironment. So

471
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:03,720
Speaker 8: I think that is really a big factor as the

472
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:06,640
Speaker 8: difference between what happened here and in Orlando. Because Utah

473
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:08,639
Speaker 8: is going to go home, their fans expect a victory,

474
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:10,720
Speaker 8: they want to see a victory, and they're just the

475
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:12,920
Speaker 8: better thing, so they should be able to close it out.

476
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:15,960
Speaker 8: And I don't really this one could get ugly here

477
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:17,920
Speaker 8: for the Grizzly just because of what's at stake here.

478
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:21,680
Speaker 8: And I just feel that Utah are going to try

479
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:24,160
Speaker 8: to make sure that this one doesn't get anywhere knee close.

480
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 4: I just want to finish it off later this week

481
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 4: game five there between the Jazz and the Grizzlies in Utah,

482
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:30,840
Speaker 4: see if they can close it out. We're going to

483
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 4: get to last night's Eastern Conference game Sixers Wizards. Wizards

484
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:38,120
Speaker 4: stay alive, they avoid the Brooms, avoid the sweep there,

485
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:40,919
Speaker 4: and we'll start looking ahead to tonight's three games, But

486
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:44,919
Speaker 4: first a quick break to hear from our sponsors. All right,

487
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:47,680
Speaker 4: let's get to the Eastern Conference game from last night.

488
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:51,119
Speaker 4: A lot to talk about actually with this one, guys,

489
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:54,640
Speaker 4: Joelle Embiid leaves with a sore knee. I believe we're

490
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 4: waiting on an MRI right this second. Here on Tuesday morning,

491
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:00,879
Speaker 4: seventy six Ers lose to the Whits. It's one twenty two,

492
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:06,120
Speaker 4: one fourteen, So Washington lives to see another day. They

493
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 4: will at least get this to Game five. Tray again,

494
00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 4: we got it beat to talk about. I know there's

495
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:14,200
Speaker 4: the hack of Bend. I'm sure we'll get into. Where

496
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 4: do you want to start with?

497
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:18,440
Speaker 7: Well, last week I said this series sucks, doesn't even

498
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 7: feel like the playoffs. But I've completely changed my mind, skeets.

499
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:27,640
Speaker 7: Last night's Game four was the best game of the postseason.

500
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:31,639
Speaker 7: Jd roll that beautiful b footage.

501
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 9: Russell Westbrook had twenty one rebounds. That's a lot of

502
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:50,800
Speaker 9: roast beef. It's about time we got a playoff beef.

503
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:03,560
Speaker 7: No dunks of roast beef, which is rebounds.

504
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:04,080
Speaker 2: Got U.

505
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:09,400
Speaker 7: Not counting the two mystery play in Beef's our first

506
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:12,160
Speaker 7: beef of the playoffs. We had two in the bubble

507
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:16,160
Speaker 7: last year. Jokic had one. Janis had one one each

508
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:21,600
Speaker 7: in the twenty nineteen, eighteen, and seventeen playoffs. This could

509
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:24,879
Speaker 7: very well be the last beef of the year. I

510
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 7: hate to say it, but it's possible. Nonetheless, Westbrook finished

511
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 7: with a triple double, a great win for the Wizards.

512
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 7: Somehow only the Heat got swept out of the playoffs

513
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 7: this year. I don't get that. But the real story,

514
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:40,359
Speaker 7: Skeets is how Westbrook got those twenty one rebounds against

515
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 7: the team like the Sixers. You mentioned it. Joel Embiid

516
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:46,159
Speaker 7: only played eleven minutes before leaving at the end of

517
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:48,720
Speaker 7: the first quarter. He took a hard fall after a

518
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:53,639
Speaker 7: layup attempt against Robin Lopez. Team's calling it a sore

519
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:56,240
Speaker 7: right knee. When he landed at first, that kind of

520
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:57,880
Speaker 7: looked like he had hurt his back. He was kind

521
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 7: of grabbing at his hip. It was just a really landing.

522
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 7: His right foot landed very hard. It kind of jammed

523
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 7: up his knee. I don't know what it is, but

524
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 7: I don't know. This is bad news. If Embiid's gonna

525
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 7: be missing serious time here Obviously, the Sixers I think

526
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:14,480
Speaker 7: can win Game five without Embiid, they can end this

527
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:18,200
Speaker 7: series pretty easily. But after that, I don't know. I mean,

528
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:21,480
Speaker 7: the Sixers are gonna need Joel Embiid to be career

529
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:23,879
Speaker 7: high thirty six points Joel Embiid, you know, to the

530
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:28,159
Speaker 7: conference finals to win, to get to the NBA Finals.

531
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 7: You know, they need him to be their MVP candidate.

532
00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:32,000
Speaker 7: But if he's going to be hobbling around there, if

533
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:33,959
Speaker 7: this is going to be something that lingers for the

534
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 7: rest of the playoffs, this is exactly what Sixers fans

535
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 7: did not want to see last night.

536
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:41,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, awkward landing. He did play a couple more minutes

537
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 4: and then he exited the game. He was also killing

538
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:43,760
Speaker 4: it once again.

539
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:46,399
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, yeah, he had six rebounds in eleven minutes.

540
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:48,960
Speaker 7: There's probably no way Westbrook goes for a beef if

541
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:50,360
Speaker 7: Embiid stays out there the whole night.

542
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:53,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, and when he left the game, they're up twenty

543
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 4: to twelve, they're up eight points, and then over the

544
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:57,439
Speaker 4: rest of the game obviously outscored quite significantly as the

545
00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:01,240
Speaker 4: Wizards stay alive. Yeah, this is bad news bears here

546
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:04,399
Speaker 4: for the Sixers. You no we're again, we're waiting right lely,

547
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:06,960
Speaker 4: we do not know. I mean, this is Embeid. Many

548
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:08,720
Speaker 4: times you know this has happened, he's had to leave,

549
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:10,560
Speaker 4: and then you know, maybe it's a game or two.

550
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:12,919
Speaker 4: And I think I agree with Trey, like I'm not

551
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:14,760
Speaker 4: going to be picking the Wizards to come back here

552
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:17,119
Speaker 4: down three or even if emb doesn't see another minute

553
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:20,040
Speaker 4: of action in this series, but the landscape of the

554
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:23,960
Speaker 4: Eastern Conference changes significantly if he is severely injured or

555
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:26,359
Speaker 4: obviously out. If it's terrible and something's torn in that

556
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:29,240
Speaker 4: knee as we wait for the MRI, this could be

557
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:32,159
Speaker 4: this could be horrible, and unfortunately you have to almost

558
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 4: not assume the worst. But it's got to be in

559
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:38,200
Speaker 4: play with and Biid who's had all these unfortunate injuries before.

560
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:40,480
Speaker 8: He tends to miss more than one game when he

561
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 8: misses a game too, So hopefully this is, you know,

562
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 8: just more a precaution. Last night, it's like, listen, we

563
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:48,840
Speaker 8: can probably win this game without you. Just go off

564
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:51,840
Speaker 8: the court now and start the treatment. But another just

565
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 8: one of those awkward landings, you know, and he's a

566
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 8: big guy as well, you sort of feel it when

567
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:57,640
Speaker 8: he goes down there and he kind of clutched at

568
00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:00,399
Speaker 8: it almost straight away there. So you know, for a

569
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:05,159
Speaker 8: guy who does have some injury history, I didn't. It

570
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:07,159
Speaker 8: didn't look good to me. But you know, let's just

571
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:08,800
Speaker 8: hope that it was one of those ones that looked

572
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 8: worse than it did. But as far as the Wizards,

573
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 8: I mean, yeah, look, they kept fighting and they had

574
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:14,320
Speaker 8: to fight to the death. I mean, the six has

575
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:17,480
Speaker 8: had chances still to win this. I mean, tyres MAXI

576
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:19,280
Speaker 8: was giving them quite a bit. I mean you could

577
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:21,520
Speaker 8: feel that the Sixers wanted to show that, hey, we

578
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 8: can win this game here without MB but the Wizards

579
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:25,960
Speaker 8: didn't let them do it. Hunji Mura I thought was

580
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:29,600
Speaker 8: fantastic for them. I love Kevin Harland. Anytime Archimura scores

581
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:33,919
Speaker 8: a basket, he loves saying his name. But yeah, I

582
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:36,680
Speaker 8: think now if the Sixers go into Game five knowing,

583
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:39,479
Speaker 8: let's say a bit Embad is missing, then it just

584
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:41,399
Speaker 8: changes the way they can at least set up the

585
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 8: game and they don't have to wonder whether or not

586
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:46,200
Speaker 8: he's going to come back. And I think that's a factor.

587
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:48,399
Speaker 8: Last night, It's like he's out of the game and

588
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:49,960
Speaker 8: he didn't come back. So they had to adjust on

589
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:51,399
Speaker 8: the fly. But now they have a little bit more

590
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:53,560
Speaker 8: time to plan here and see how they're going to

591
00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:57,800
Speaker 8: figure it out. But yeah, this the long term prospects

592
00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:01,400
Speaker 8: here for the Sixers obviously change just everything as far

593
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:02,959
Speaker 8: as how far they can go in the playoffs if

594
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 8: Embaid isn't able to get any further. But we'll see,

595
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 8: we'll see. I just didn't like the way that he

596
00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:09,920
Speaker 8: sort of flew in the air and then landed and

597
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:13,480
Speaker 8: it was like, oh yuck. So hopefully hoping all the

598
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 8: best for him, of course.

599
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:17,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, Tess, I mean this is not far fatt to say.

600
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 4: If Embiid is healthy in playing and like Trey said,

601
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:21,760
Speaker 4: is a thirty five thirteen monster, six Ers have a

602
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:23,879
Speaker 4: chance to win the title. I mean, you got that

603
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 4: guy who's an MVP candidate, and if they don't, there's

604
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:30,440
Speaker 4: a zero chance at all. Like, okay, get by the Wizards, Sure,

605
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:33,840
Speaker 4: I assume you think that's possible without him, But would

606
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:36,359
Speaker 4: they even beat the Hawks? Would they beat they wouldn't

607
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 4: beat the Nets or Bucks? I think we'd agree on

608
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:39,719
Speaker 4: that right like this, the season would be toast here.

609
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:41,720
Speaker 4: If Embiid has ruled out for the postseason.

610
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, I know Sixers fans today are looking at that

611
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:48,159
Speaker 5: first quarter fall and taking sauce in the fact that

612
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:51,040
Speaker 5: he played four minutes after that and stayed on the floor.

613
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:55,359
Speaker 5: But I'm not at all because this happened to him

614
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:58,560
Speaker 5: in his rookie season as well. He felt he played

615
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:01,400
Speaker 5: through it and then and they, you know, they realized

616
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:03,919
Speaker 5: he had an MRI on the meniscus. He had an

617
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:06,800
Speaker 5: issue there, and then his season was over. You know,

618
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 5: it's not necessarily meniscus injury by any means, but at

619
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:13,520
Speaker 5: the same time he falls, he holds his back, and

620
00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:16,720
Speaker 5: then it's knees so orness that holds him out or

621
00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:20,080
Speaker 5: that takes him out of the game. And I'm definitely

622
00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:23,240
Speaker 5: worried for the future. He fights through everything and he

623
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:26,920
Speaker 5: will play, but for them to be a championship team,

624
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:29,240
Speaker 5: he's got to be able to carry this team on

625
00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:32,200
Speaker 5: his back. So he's not playing Game five, I don't think.

626
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:35,880
Speaker 5: And they'll figure it out from there. But yeah, they

627
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:41,920
Speaker 5: go from potential NBA finalist with with hopes and dreams

628
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:44,560
Speaker 5: that he is his awesome self that he was during

629
00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:47,080
Speaker 5: the regular season. He's never been a guy that's been

630
00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:49,160
Speaker 5: able to carry his team in the playoffs. This is

631
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:52,440
Speaker 5: his first test to be an actual MVP candidate in

632
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:55,320
Speaker 5: the playoffs as well. He's you know, fulfilled that so

633
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:57,840
Speaker 5: far through his first three games. At one quarter, he'd

634
00:28:57,880 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 5: been playing great with the great team he has around him.

635
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:04,400
Speaker 5: But yeah, this is a this is totally totally different.

636
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:08,719
Speaker 5: So I'm looking forward to to some positive news in Philadelphia.

637
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:10,600
Speaker 5: That's all you can really hope for. I mean, Derek

638
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:12,800
Speaker 5: Bonder's got a good, good report on it on the

639
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:15,280
Speaker 5: Athletic if you want to read up on it. And

640
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:20,000
Speaker 5: everybody's just holding their breath, really yeah, Derek Bodner, doc rivers,

641
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:23,720
Speaker 5: everybody in the Philadelphia organization holding their breath, just waiting

642
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:26,560
Speaker 5: to see because otherwise it ain't gonna be pretty.

643
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:29,120
Speaker 4: There was a reason that I wanted to start with

644
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:31,280
Speaker 4: the Jazz Grizzlies game. I thought I could buy us

645
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:33,360
Speaker 4: some time before we got to this game and maybe

646
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:36,000
Speaker 4: having a result coming in from the MRI from the

647
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:38,120
Speaker 4: sixers there with embiid but we still as a recording

648
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:41,040
Speaker 4: this obviously do not know. But you're right ly, I mean,

649
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:43,239
Speaker 4: this was a tie game. Wanna wait, wanta wait? Uh

650
00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:45,600
Speaker 4: with like a little less than three minutes to go.

651
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:48,600
Speaker 4: I guess you had Maxie hitting big shots. Furkan Korkmas

652
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:50,920
Speaker 4: was actually pretty big for the secution. Everybody contributing for

653
00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:52,880
Speaker 4: the Wizards. You know, they're fighting to stay alive. They

654
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:55,280
Speaker 4: don't want to go to Cancun just yet. But then,

655
00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:58,400
Speaker 4: but then, but then we saw the Wizard. Scottie Brooks

656
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:01,920
Speaker 4: goes with the the hack of Ben, the hack of Simmons,

657
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:09,080
Speaker 4: the slap of Simo, the Ben, Yeah, and whatever you

658
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 4: want to call it, it's the hack of Shack. And

659
00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:13,320
Speaker 4: what I mean is obviously the intentional fouling there of

660
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:16,360
Speaker 4: Ben Simmons whenever possible put them in the line, and

661
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:19,360
Speaker 4: he went what four for eight over the final like

662
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:22,920
Speaker 4: two point fifty let's call it, uh so five of

663
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:24,600
Speaker 4: eleven overall at the breeze of the line. He hadn't

664
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:26,680
Speaker 4: hit one coming into this game, so he actually had

665
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:29,000
Speaker 4: a good game at the line. And you know it's

666
00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:31,040
Speaker 4: a it's a talking point from this one, Leley, Your

667
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:33,320
Speaker 4: guy Ben's stepping up there and only always hitting one

668
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:36,280
Speaker 4: or two. But Doc River says, hey, man, check the

669
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:38,880
Speaker 4: math on that. Yeah, that's good, We're fine. We'll live

670
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:40,440
Speaker 4: with that. It's when he's missing both of them, and

671
00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:43,040
Speaker 4: he didn't, So everybody's shut up. I'm not taking them out,

672
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:46,400
Speaker 4: of course, because what he can do all over the floor,

673
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 4: especially defensively. What's your take on your fellow azzi there?

674
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:52,120
Speaker 4: Man must really hurt you to see a fellow azzi

675
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:54,320
Speaker 4: not feeling a knock down free throws your nightmare?

676
00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:57,240
Speaker 8: I would think, well, listen, it's a smart play I

677
00:30:57,280 --> 00:31:00,840
Speaker 8: think by Scott Brooks, even though Doc Rivers isarly factually

678
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:05,040
Speaker 8: correct as well, A point per possession is okay, but listen,

679
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:06,760
Speaker 8: if you're going to get hacked, you've got to go

680
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:08,560
Speaker 8: to the free throw line, like you can't. He can

681
00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:10,760
Speaker 8: only do it, of course, with more than two minutes

682
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:13,840
Speaker 8: remaining there. So Scott Brooks was basically like, make your

683
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 8: free throws, and he couldn't do it. He couldn't. I mean,

684
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:17,920
Speaker 8: he could do fifty percent, but he only needs to

685
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:19,920
Speaker 8: make it, say seventy five percent of those, and then

686
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:21,960
Speaker 8: the Sixers may win the game and it may be

687
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:24,640
Speaker 8: backfires on Scotty Brooks, but it didn't last night. So

688
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:27,840
Speaker 8: you expect in Philadelphia they'll probably employ the same sort

689
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:29,600
Speaker 8: of thing if it gets to that situation, and just

690
00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:31,959
Speaker 8: say listen, he can't hit his free throws. I mean,

691
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 8: he's five for twenty for the series. That's simply not

692
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:39,120
Speaker 8: good enough. You know, you can't really blame the Wizards

693
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:41,640
Speaker 8: for trying to get into his head and saying we

694
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:43,239
Speaker 8: don't think he can make these free throws. We think

695
00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 8: it's going to cost your team. You could see the

696
00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:46,400
Speaker 8: look on Simmons face as well. He didn't want to

697
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:48,280
Speaker 8: be at that free throw line. You know, he did

698
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:49,920
Speaker 8: knock down a couple, but he was he.

699
00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:52,200
Speaker 4: Always missing the first one or am I crazy too?

700
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:54,480
Speaker 4: Like badly, and then it would look felt like the

701
00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:56,480
Speaker 4: sort of figure it out and splash the second. I

702
00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:59,160
Speaker 4: can't remember exactly three times I've got.

703
00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:02,040
Speaker 8: The fifth one, but yeah, but you know that's I mean,

704
00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:05,240
Speaker 8: it's it's it's it's a bit of gamesmanship. It is

705
00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:07,960
Speaker 8: not a dirty tactic. It's a tactic and it worked

706
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:10,160
Speaker 8: for the Wizards. They got the win. So if you're

707
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:12,600
Speaker 8: Ben Simmons, make you free throws. I mean, at least

708
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:14,520
Speaker 8: make more than fifty percent of them. I mean, that's

709
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:15,240
Speaker 8: what it comes down to.

710
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:17,600
Speaker 7: So yeah, I think that's what Doc Rivers was saying, too.

711
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:20,960
Speaker 7: Not shoot fifty percent, literally just shoot sixty percent. One

712
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 7: point two points per possession is good. One point per

713
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:27,040
Speaker 7: possession is pretty bad. But yeah, I mean literally, if

714
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 7: you shoot sixty percent for a game, that would be

715
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:31,000
Speaker 7: a huge improvement for Simmons at this point. But you

716
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:34,040
Speaker 7: can't have your lead ball handler nervous to take free throws.

717
00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:36,080
Speaker 7: That's been the problem with Simmons all along the three

718
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:39,040
Speaker 7: point shooting. Sure everybody would think that's awesome if Ben

719
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:41,680
Speaker 7: Simmons suddenly starts shooting threes, but he just needs the

720
00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:43,800
Speaker 7: confidence to go to the line and be able to

721
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:46,520
Speaker 7: be ready to shoot him knowing that he's going to

722
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:50,800
Speaker 7: go to the line. The legacy of Kendrick Perkins lives on. Man,

723
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:54,080
Speaker 7: that's just amazing. Scotty Brooks saw Kendrick Perkins being sent

724
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:56,480
Speaker 7: to the line so many times back in the thunder Day.

725
00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:59,000
Speaker 7: He had to go deep into the archives for the

726
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:02,560
Speaker 7: slap of Sims. It really felt like we'd gotten these

727
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:05,000
Speaker 7: files out of the league. You don't see it very

728
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:07,560
Speaker 7: often anymore, but it came back in a playoff game.

729
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:08,480
Speaker 7: What a throwback.

730
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 8: The thing is like, his form isn't grotesque, guy, It's

731
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:16,560
Speaker 8: not like they're alat definitely flat. But as far as

732
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:19,760
Speaker 8: he steps up there. He's got nice like mechanics arm shooting.

733
00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:22,680
Speaker 8: It's like, I don't understand how it can be so bad. Again,

734
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:24,560
Speaker 8: at this stage of his career, we know that the

735
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:26,600
Speaker 8: shooting is his weakness. You would think that the least

736
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:29,400
Speaker 8: of the free throw line he'd be better than he is.

737
00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:33,280
Speaker 8: But mentally, the loneliest.

738
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:35,840
Speaker 4: Play to see him, I would, especially being like a

739
00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:38,800
Speaker 4: big guy that obviously is an incredible passer. You you know,

740
00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:43,720
Speaker 4: he's got great touch, go underhand, simmer Honestly, see Ben

741
00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:46,040
Speaker 4: Simmons throw a couple underhand and free throws up there

742
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:50,640
Speaker 4: to cool for it. These guys you never do it,

743
00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:53,440
Speaker 4: but yeah, especially him, You're right, I just feel like

744
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:55,960
Speaker 4: he'd actually be really good at it. No idea why

745
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:56,360
Speaker 4: I think.

746
00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:59,160
Speaker 8: That you could throw it over his head right now.

747
00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:01,200
Speaker 8: I mean, you know, you might as well just try anything,

748
00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:04,360
Speaker 8: because uh yeah, I hadn't. He was O for O

749
00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:06,720
Speaker 8: for fourteen or something like that at one point in

750
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:07,520
Speaker 8: this series, which is.

751
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:09,280
Speaker 4: It's pretty astonishing.

752
00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:10,120
Speaker 8: That's awful.

753
00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:11,799
Speaker 7: So it's on the hot streak, is what you're saying.

754
00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:15,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, it's on fire. I mean, Tess, we're gonna

755
00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:19,399
Speaker 4: see this probably moving forward, I assume in close game situations.

756
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:22,560
Speaker 4: I almost think other coaches be crazy not to put

757
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:25,719
Speaker 4: them there. If especially like em beads out there, because

758
00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:27,880
Speaker 4: it does have like an effect on other things going on. Right,

759
00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:30,160
Speaker 4: of course, allows you to always set up your defense.

760
00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:33,120
Speaker 4: You know the ball is not going to embid, so

761
00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:35,120
Speaker 4: maybe then you're you're not you're not getting in foul

762
00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:36,759
Speaker 4: trouble because you can send the guy to go wrap

763
00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:40,080
Speaker 4: them up, so you're using your fouls sort of slyly there.

764
00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:41,759
Speaker 4: I don't know. I think we'll see this again in

765
00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:45,239
Speaker 4: a potential series, either Nate McMillan or Tim's doing it,

766
00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:46,920
Speaker 4: whoever moves on from that series, and maybe even in

767
00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:48,560
Speaker 4: the Conference finals if the Sixers.

768
00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:48,680
Speaker 7: Get that far.

769
00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:52,080
Speaker 5: If teams are down, yeah, if they're desperate, if they're

770
00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:55,200
Speaker 5: if they're getting beat uh then then yeah they pull

771
00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:59,000
Speaker 5: something out. But uh, you know it shouldn't be I

772
00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:00,800
Speaker 5: don't I don't think the six Or will be blowing

773
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:03,400
Speaker 5: teams out for them to have to use it. I

774
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:06,320
Speaker 5: think it's a special special situation here with the Wizards.

775
00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:10,520
Speaker 5: They're getting pumped and they're just they just needed absolutely anything.

776
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:13,839
Speaker 5: I think it's it's it's wild seeing Ben Simmons yeah,

777
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:16,440
Speaker 5: shoot liners. I think it's sort of a product of

778
00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:20,880
Speaker 5: him only playing inside for all of his career, you know,

779
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:24,200
Speaker 5: you know, back to college where he just plays inside,

780
00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:27,600
Speaker 5: so he never needed arc on his shot. Like, would

781
00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:31,040
Speaker 5: you ever see a guard you know who shoots, you know,

782
00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:34,839
Speaker 5: anywhere from sixteen feet out shoot liners like this? No way,

783
00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:38,120
Speaker 5: like you it would have an arc, Like literally, he

784
00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:39,680
Speaker 5: is no arc. So I think it's just a product

785
00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:43,440
Speaker 5: of yeah, paint and in and that's it. And so yeah,

786
00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:47,239
Speaker 5: it's it's not fun watching those things, but it's it's

787
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:49,919
Speaker 5: It was a wild game that the Wizards somehow won

788
00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:53,440
Speaker 5: with Russell Westbrook shooting three of nineteen they pull it

789
00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:57,239
Speaker 5: out and Bradley Beal having a poor shooting night. It

790
00:35:57,440 --> 00:35:59,960
Speaker 5: was it was bonkers. They're just lucky that Robin Lowe

791
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:03,080
Speaker 5: as came off the bench and hooked him to death

792
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:07,720
Speaker 5: shot eight of eleven. Like they the variety of different

793
00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:11,400
Speaker 5: shots in this series, you know, from from Russy banking

794
00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:15,520
Speaker 5: shots to to Benny lining his free throws to Robin

795
00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:18,839
Speaker 5: hooking him to death. Uh, it is kind of a unique. Uh,

796
00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:22,640
Speaker 5: you know, it's just a there's a breadth of different

797
00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:24,560
Speaker 5: shot types in this series. So it's kind of fun

798
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:28,080
Speaker 5: in that way, but yeah, I kind of want to

799
00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:30,600
Speaker 5: see it over. Like everybody had a bad game in

800
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:32,799
Speaker 5: this one. It was just like a war of attrition here,

801
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:36,719
Speaker 5: and I mean they the Wizards were fine. Ruy Atchamburrow

802
00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:38,440
Speaker 5: I think was the key for them. Actually, you know

803
00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:42,280
Speaker 5: Robin Lopez's side talking about his hook shots. Ruy Chamburgh

804
00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:44,880
Speaker 5: had that big left handed dunk on Tobias Harrison got

805
00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:47,720
Speaker 5: a technical foul called on him, the first of his career.

806
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:50,399
Speaker 5: He said, I would never ever think that I'd get

807
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:52,279
Speaker 5: a technical foul, but he just had to let a

808
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:55,839
Speaker 5: yelp go and that was a taunting foul on Tobias Harris.

809
00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:59,279
Speaker 5: He's just so nice, but he felt good. Ruytchmburro. The

810
00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:01,400
Speaker 5: growth of him is a good sign for them going forward.

811
00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:05,160
Speaker 5: But yeah, let's get this series over with. I've kind

812
00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:05,680
Speaker 5: of had enough.

813
00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:08,879
Speaker 4: I mean, I've done a one eighty on the whole

814
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:11,680
Speaker 4: hack of strategy. Like I used to hate it because

815
00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:13,680
Speaker 4: it's like God free throw is the only person like

816
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:16,040
Speaker 4: this is Lee Ellis. But now I love the drama,

817
00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:18,840
Speaker 4: Like I do love like the concept of like this

818
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:21,279
Speaker 4: guy's a professional basketball player. This guy's one of the

819
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:25,279
Speaker 4: greatest basketball players in the world really of all time.

820
00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:27,520
Speaker 4: When you start crunching the numbers that would people that

821
00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:29,160
Speaker 4: are in the world and how many actually played in

822
00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:31,920
Speaker 4: the NBA, and it's like, this guy's afraid to go

823
00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:35,480
Speaker 4: and shoot by himself, you know, a fifteen footer and

824
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:38,480
Speaker 4: it's in his head and obviously he starts overthinking. I

825
00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:40,920
Speaker 4: love it now that slow walk to the line. If

826
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:42,400
Speaker 4: they get fouled in the way in the back and

827
00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:45,399
Speaker 4: they're under their their own rim there, I am all

828
00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:47,000
Speaker 4: for it, and I hope we see it again and

829
00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:49,960
Speaker 4: I look, I hope he does better. But it's a

830
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:51,560
Speaker 4: lot of fun lee. I'm all in, man, you got

831
00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:53,600
Speaker 4: me into free throw yes, Seco this is well.

832
00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:56,080
Speaker 8: Simmons height As were loving it too last night on

833
00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:58,480
Speaker 8: Twitter because they're just trying to make fun of him

834
00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:00,319
Speaker 8: and mock him and that, and again, you you're going

835
00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:02,760
Speaker 8: to open yourself up to ridicule if that's the situation.

836
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:05,440
Speaker 8: You are, like you say, an All Star, potentially all NBA,

837
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:07,960
Speaker 8: very likely in all defensive players. So you've got all

838
00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:11,200
Speaker 8: the enormous talent and accolades there, but if you can't

839
00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:13,480
Speaker 8: shoot your free throws, the fans, especially on the road,

840
00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:15,880
Speaker 8: love putting you under that pressure. And again, you can

841
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:17,560
Speaker 8: tell so much, I think just by looking in the

842
00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:19,040
Speaker 8: face of him and in his eyes and he's like,

843
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:21,120
Speaker 8: I don't want to be here, but I'm also going

844
00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:24,160
Speaker 8: to just shoot and try my best. Then the ones

845
00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:25,440
Speaker 8: that go we look beautiful too.

846
00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:28,480
Speaker 7: They just knock it. It's it's so weird.

847
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:31,800
Speaker 8: I mean because Kendrick Perkins, I mean, he looked ugly

848
00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:33,839
Speaker 8: at the free throw line, you know, like he looked

849
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:36,520
Speaker 8: like he was throwing buckets at the at the hoop

850
00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:38,200
Speaker 8: there Simmons doesn't, I.

851
00:38:38,239 --> 00:38:40,440
Speaker 7: Mean, and too much more of a DeAndre Jordan, Like

852
00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:43,279
Speaker 7: I always thought DeAndre Jordan had a nice looking free

853
00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:45,960
Speaker 7: throw and he has a brickfast as well. The difference

854
00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:47,800
Speaker 7: is that Simmons is out on the perimeter. If he

855
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:49,400
Speaker 7: was a six to ten guy who's one of the

856
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:51,880
Speaker 7: best defenders in the league who shoots fifty percent at

857
00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:53,920
Speaker 7: the line, but we call them a center, people will

858
00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:57,239
Speaker 7: be like, cool man, y, great passing, big guy.

859
00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:01,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, that's that's true. I agree with that tree.

860
00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:03,880
Speaker 4: I guess that's starting the change now, just because everybody

861
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:06,560
Speaker 4: is pretty decent when it comes to shooting, especially at

862
00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:08,200
Speaker 4: the free throw line. But that's a that's a great point.

863
00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:11,360
Speaker 4: It's it's weird him being a perimeter player and he

864
00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:14,200
Speaker 4: looks he looks shook, there's no doubt. And by the way,

865
00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:17,239
Speaker 4: he must not be great at shooting free throws, even

866
00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:20,840
Speaker 4: in practice, because we haven't heard hey never misses, yeah practice,

867
00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:23,839
Speaker 4: mister free throw apparently in practice. But he couldn't get

868
00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:25,360
Speaker 4: him the knock him down in the game. But we

869
00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:26,360
Speaker 4: haven't heard that with Simmons.

870
00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:28,719
Speaker 8: No, And you know, second shadout he had to Andre

871
00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:31,040
Speaker 8: Miller because he had a liner. The way that he

872
00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:34,839
Speaker 8: shot the ball, you know, like when you think about him,

873
00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:36,960
Speaker 8: he basically just like put the ball there and just

874
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:38,759
Speaker 8: sort of almost like flicked it from there.

875
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:40,360
Speaker 4: So but he was able to do it.

876
00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:43,120
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, So maybe Simon needs to work there with

877
00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:45,880
Speaker 8: with Andre Miller next time so he's ready for the

878
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:48,080
Speaker 8: for the dim sim that's what I called it, you know.

879
00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:50,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, And let me give you a quick check in

880
00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:54,680
Speaker 4: on Davis Burton's last night. Pretty decent for Burton's in

881
00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:57,360
Speaker 4: only twenty three minutes, fifteen points. He hit three threes,

882
00:39:57,560 --> 00:40:00,120
Speaker 4: shot four to seven overall, perfect at the line and

883
00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:05,520
Speaker 4: even contributed with a block. Yeah, Burtons, that was worried about. Yeah, generous,

884
00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:13,200
Speaker 4: generous And look the Wizards, like, just talk about Westbrook

885
00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:14,960
Speaker 4: for one second. Here he had the triple double, but

886
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:18,719
Speaker 4: he is going like, are we ever going to see

887
00:40:18,719 --> 00:40:20,680
Speaker 4: a player like Westbrook again? And I mean this in

888
00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:23,640
Speaker 4: the sense the guy went three of nineteen last night,

889
00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:28,160
Speaker 4: and actually, if you watch the game, there's no way

890
00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:31,120
Speaker 4: they win if he doesn't play, not doubt in my mind,

891
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:32,600
Speaker 4: they don't win that game if he doesn't play. Just

892
00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:34,480
Speaker 4: with obviously his effort and what else he does. Everything,

893
00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:36,520
Speaker 4: it's just so incredible. I don't think we're gonna have

894
00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:39,440
Speaker 4: many three and nineteen shooting performances. And he'd be like, yeah,

895
00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:40,879
Speaker 4: they would have lost the game though he didn't play.

896
00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:42,920
Speaker 4: It's like, it doesn't make a lot of sense. Do

897
00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:45,680
Speaker 4: the math on that one? Doc Rimmers that one's but

898
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:48,480
Speaker 4: it's true. It really is, like he's just he was

899
00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:51,480
Speaker 4: all upset. Dwight Howard was touching to talk more about

900
00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:53,080
Speaker 4: free throws because I know that's what you guys tune

901
00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:55,840
Speaker 4: in for. Did you see when between free throws for

902
00:40:55,880 --> 00:40:58,040
Speaker 4: Westbrook Lee Dwight just did the whole thing or he

903
00:40:58,120 --> 00:41:00,319
Speaker 4: jumped up and sort of like just just just touch

904
00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:02,840
Speaker 4: the rim, hung on a little bit. Yeah, Bounds Westbrook

905
00:41:03,080 --> 00:41:04,120
Speaker 4: was livid.

906
00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:06,759
Speaker 8: Yeah, well Westbrook was doing the same thing to Ben

907
00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:07,719
Speaker 8: Simmons on the other.

908
00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:11,960
Speaker 4: The gamesmanship, man, when it comes to breathe throw line,

909
00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:15,000
Speaker 4: it's next level, all right? Anything else to add to

910
00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:18,560
Speaker 4: this game, guys, gentleman sweep. I'm feeling like all around

911
00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:20,960
Speaker 4: even without Embiid, does anybody want to take the Wizards

912
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:23,080
Speaker 4: to make this interesting? Let's say a bead doesn't play.

913
00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:25,080
Speaker 4: I'm with your task, even if they're like, no, okay,

914
00:41:25,160 --> 00:41:26,920
Speaker 4: he's not going to be over for the postseason. Doc

915
00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:29,640
Speaker 4: Rivers is usually pretty cautious when it comes to like injuries.

916
00:41:30,160 --> 00:41:33,960
Speaker 4: I doubt he plays in in Game five. Can the

917
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:36,800
Speaker 4: Wizards take this back to the to the phone booths

918
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:37,640
Speaker 4: there in Washington or not?

919
00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:41,920
Speaker 5: There's a chance, but I think yeah, the Sixers get

920
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:45,080
Speaker 5: up for one game with Ben Simmons being their lead guy,

921
00:41:45,239 --> 00:41:48,720
Speaker 5: taking it to the whole because I imagine Joel Embiid

922
00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:49,759
Speaker 5: sits so yeah.

923
00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:50,000
Speaker 9: Ben.

924
00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:52,839
Speaker 5: Ben likes to shine when the spotlight is on him.

925
00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:55,960
Speaker 5: He likes to take that challenge when embad is out,

926
00:41:56,120 --> 00:41:59,000
Speaker 5: and I think he'll he'll drop a twenty spot, a

927
00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:03,879
Speaker 5: lot of layups, a lot of dunk ruse. But yeah,

928
00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:07,720
Speaker 5: I would take the Sixers regardless of Joel Embiid status.

929
00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:08,600
Speaker 5: I'd take them at home.

930
00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:11,760
Speaker 4: All I was thinking about is, thank god this didn't

931
00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:16,320
Speaker 4: happen in Game five. Like let's say like the Sixers

932
00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:18,600
Speaker 4: had blown one and like they could have like wrapped

933
00:42:18,680 --> 00:42:20,759
Speaker 4: up the series, and then the injury occurs, and it's

934
00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:23,440
Speaker 4: like the classic legacy. This is why you just try

935
00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:25,200
Speaker 4: and close out a team when you can get it

936
00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:27,439
Speaker 4: over with so you don't risk an entry. Of course,

937
00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:28,440
Speaker 4: that didn't happen, so it doesn't matter.

938
00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:31,000
Speaker 7: That's why the Sixers need a win in Game five

939
00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:32,960
Speaker 7: because it's looking like the four or five series the

940
00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:35,839
Speaker 7: Nixon Hawks. That one's probably going long. So if you're

941
00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:38,719
Speaker 7: able to rest and bead in game five, you get

942
00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:41,080
Speaker 7: another couple of days of rest. Then you're waiting for

943
00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:44,480
Speaker 7: that next series to come. Maybe you somehow got yourself

944
00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:46,360
Speaker 7: a week of rest for Joel embid that would be

945
00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:49,560
Speaker 7: huge during this series. We did see another a fan

946
00:42:49,680 --> 00:42:51,839
Speaker 7: on the court last night. What's going on here? Man?

947
00:42:52,120 --> 00:42:55,040
Speaker 4: I mean, like what sort of say at this point? Yeah,

948
00:42:55,040 --> 00:42:58,400
Speaker 4: another I assume drunk. I don't know, another idiot at

949
00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:00,319
Speaker 4: the very least sprinting there.

950
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:01,480
Speaker 7: What did he do?

951
00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:03,920
Speaker 4: He just ran around, slapped the backboard and then got

952
00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:06,520
Speaker 4: tackled tackle by the one security guard. I mean, if

953
00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:08,719
Speaker 4: you see the one camera, you just like sprints down

954
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:12,120
Speaker 4: the aisle and uh, you know, and I guess there

955
00:43:12,120 --> 00:43:14,680
Speaker 4: are people saying, how is that? How is that possible task?

956
00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:16,560
Speaker 4: How is that possible to get you out there? Well,

957
00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:19,480
Speaker 4: I mean it's it's a Have you ever been to

958
00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:21,160
Speaker 4: an arena? I ever seen the floor? I mean, I

959
00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:23,040
Speaker 4: know they have a lot of security guards, but they're

960
00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:25,799
Speaker 4: not everywhere. And uh, I guess I don't know if

961
00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:28,400
Speaker 4: he caught somebody sleeping or whatever, or was like distracted

962
00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:31,000
Speaker 4: and he was out there like it's almost shocking. It

963
00:43:31,160 --> 00:43:34,640
Speaker 4: doesn't happen more, and heaven forbid it does and that's

964
00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:36,520
Speaker 4: why they cut away and all that. I don't know

965
00:43:36,520 --> 00:43:37,600
Speaker 4: if you have anything to add to this.

966
00:43:38,560 --> 00:43:41,920
Speaker 5: I don't mind the idea going around of the entire

967
00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:45,440
Speaker 5: fan base being punished and not being able to go

968
00:43:45,520 --> 00:43:49,040
Speaker 5: to the next game. Wow, because of because of a

969
00:43:49,120 --> 00:43:51,520
Speaker 5: situation like this. They do it in Europe somewhere, they

970
00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:55,040
Speaker 5: do it in I don't know what sport it was,

971
00:43:55,200 --> 00:43:57,880
Speaker 5: but if it was football, if a guy runs out

972
00:43:57,920 --> 00:44:00,360
Speaker 5: to the field, that they basically can't have fans the

973
00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:04,480
Speaker 5: next game. I don't mind that idea, but yeah, it's

974
00:44:05,239 --> 00:44:09,279
Speaker 5: it's It is surprising that it doesn't happen more often.

975
00:44:09,320 --> 00:44:11,799
Speaker 5: That is why we love the game because fans can

976
00:44:11,920 --> 00:44:15,200
Speaker 5: get close. We don't want plexiglass out there. This is,

977
00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:18,200
Speaker 5: you know, one reason why you get to sit up close.

978
00:44:18,239 --> 00:44:20,759
Speaker 5: It is such a unique situation being right on a

979
00:44:20,840 --> 00:44:25,319
Speaker 5: court that you don't get in other sports. But I think, yeah,

980
00:44:25,360 --> 00:44:29,840
Speaker 5: we would teach fans to not run on the fricking floor.

981
00:44:30,120 --> 00:44:31,640
Speaker 7: If you know this.

982
00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:36,319
Speaker 5: This is a very very rare occurrence. Like we are

983
00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:38,720
Speaker 5: going to lump it in with these the bottle thrower

984
00:44:39,360 --> 00:44:43,120
Speaker 5: and the popcorn tosser, But it is it is different, right,

985
00:44:43,239 --> 00:44:46,200
Speaker 5: like it is. It is totally different. But I don't know,

986
00:44:46,239 --> 00:44:47,200
Speaker 5: people are just nuts.

987
00:44:47,360 --> 00:44:47,480
Speaker 9: You know.

988
00:44:47,600 --> 00:44:52,239
Speaker 5: Since March twenty twenty, things have gone freaking berserk. You know,

989
00:44:52,320 --> 00:44:54,839
Speaker 5: people are losing their brains, they're losing their jobs, they're

990
00:44:54,880 --> 00:44:57,040
Speaker 5: losing their brains. I would put it on that. I

991
00:44:57,120 --> 00:45:00,640
Speaker 5: know this guy is just whatever he want us. He

992
00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:04,800
Speaker 5: just made some a boner move, and he deserved a

993
00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:06,840
Speaker 5: harder tackle. He deserved a little bit more of a

994
00:45:06,960 --> 00:45:09,600
Speaker 5: rock bottom from that security guard than he got. Oh

995
00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:13,279
Speaker 5: those you know, a good Dwight Howard was ready.

996
00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:15,160
Speaker 7: I feel like he was standing over him saying, you're

997
00:45:15,239 --> 00:45:17,920
Speaker 7: lucky the security guards got you. Otherwise you're taking a

998
00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:20,479
Speaker 7: shot from me. Dwight Howard the biggest shoulders in the game.

999
00:45:20,520 --> 00:45:23,360
Speaker 7: He was like standing right over the guys. They're dragging

1000
00:45:23,440 --> 00:45:25,960
Speaker 7: him off the court. I don't know. Just act like

1001
00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:27,920
Speaker 7: a normal person, that's all it comes down to. Just

1002
00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:30,760
Speaker 7: be a normal fan out there. Don't throw things at people,

1003
00:45:30,880 --> 00:45:31,759
Speaker 7: don't run on the court.

1004
00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:35,000
Speaker 4: Just be am. I am I a hypocrite, though, Trey.

1005
00:45:35,080 --> 00:45:38,120
Speaker 4: If I enjoy this when it happens in a baseball game,

1006
00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:41,000
Speaker 4: when you know, some some dummy gets out there and

1007
00:45:41,080 --> 00:45:43,640
Speaker 4: runs around and tries to avoid the security guards, but

1008
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:46,040
Speaker 4: I am not a fan of this in an NBA game, Yeah,

1009
00:45:46,200 --> 00:45:46,960
Speaker 4: make me a hypocrite.

1010
00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:49,120
Speaker 7: It does, it does. But it is fun to see

1011
00:45:49,160 --> 00:45:51,480
Speaker 7: somebody with that great expanse of field.

1012
00:45:51,719 --> 00:45:51,839
Speaker 9: Right.

1013
00:45:51,960 --> 00:45:54,279
Speaker 7: That's a difference out there, you gotta there's a little

1014
00:45:54,280 --> 00:45:57,480
Speaker 7: bit more of a chase element to it there. Everybody's

1015
00:45:57,560 --> 00:45:59,200
Speaker 7: compacted on a basketball court.

1016
00:45:59,280 --> 00:46:02,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, Lee, anything to add to this guy. I mean,

1017
00:46:02,280 --> 00:46:04,920
Speaker 4: you obviously got taken away in handcuffs and we'll see

1018
00:46:04,920 --> 00:46:07,160
Speaker 4: what happens next. You know, you'll be banned. They're saying,

1019
00:46:07,280 --> 00:46:11,080
Speaker 4: of course, is this enough? Do we have to go

1020
00:46:11,280 --> 00:46:14,440
Speaker 4: next level like something like tass is saying, where we

1021
00:46:14,560 --> 00:46:16,920
Speaker 4: unfortunately have to punish everybody, and will we get to

1022
00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:20,280
Speaker 4: a point where you won't be able to sit courtside

1023
00:46:20,360 --> 00:46:21,200
Speaker 4: like this? Yeah?

1024
00:46:21,239 --> 00:46:23,000
Speaker 8: The problem is if you make an announcement like that,

1025
00:46:23,160 --> 00:46:25,040
Speaker 8: you give someone the power to say, man, I can

1026
00:46:25,120 --> 00:46:28,120
Speaker 8: really screw it up for everybody, or something like that.

1027
00:46:28,239 --> 00:46:30,200
Speaker 8: But Scotty Brooks, I think after the game had it right.

1028
00:46:30,239 --> 00:46:32,000
Speaker 8: He just said stay home. We don't want your money,

1029
00:46:32,200 --> 00:46:34,920
Speaker 8: you know, Like there are great fans in Boston and

1030
00:46:34,960 --> 00:46:37,960
Speaker 8: Philadelphia and New York. There are tons of great ones. Unfortunately,

1031
00:46:38,040 --> 00:46:40,840
Speaker 8: the ones we talk about are the idiots who make it,

1032
00:46:40,960 --> 00:46:43,160
Speaker 8: who screw it up for everybody else. So, yeah, you

1033
00:46:43,239 --> 00:46:45,719
Speaker 8: know the old you'd never tell your customers to go away,

1034
00:46:45,800 --> 00:46:49,680
Speaker 8: but in this case, yeah, go away, don't come gough, Yeah, seriously,

1035
00:46:49,760 --> 00:46:52,320
Speaker 8: don't you Your money's not worth it. No one's impressed,

1036
00:46:52,360 --> 00:46:54,279
Speaker 8: no one's having a great time going ah, that was great.

1037
00:46:54,280 --> 00:46:56,480
Speaker 8: You spat on a player, Well done, You're a legend.

1038
00:46:56,880 --> 00:46:59,480
Speaker 8: Just stay home, go away and do something else with

1039
00:46:59,560 --> 00:47:01,680
Speaker 8: your life, because you're just not wanted. You're not you're

1040
00:47:01,680 --> 00:47:06,160
Speaker 8: not valued. No one cares about you, so go away. Well, no,

1041
00:47:06,239 --> 00:47:08,080
Speaker 8: it cares about you at the game, I should say.

1042
00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:10,799
Speaker 4: In the NBA world.

1043
00:47:11,440 --> 00:47:12,960
Speaker 8: Yeah, well, we just don't want you at the at

1044
00:47:12,960 --> 00:47:15,520
Speaker 8: the arenas. Because this is the thing is it potentially

1045
00:47:15,640 --> 00:47:18,439
Speaker 8: does lead to a situation where they have to say,

1046
00:47:19,120 --> 00:47:21,759
Speaker 8: of course, sa, we can't have fans because one or two,

1047
00:47:21,840 --> 00:47:23,440
Speaker 8: but you have like idiots and spoil it for the

1048
00:47:23,520 --> 00:47:25,279
Speaker 8: rest of us. So everyone has to suffer for it.

1049
00:47:25,360 --> 00:47:27,040
Speaker 8: And that's not the situation we want.

1050
00:47:28,080 --> 00:47:28,880
Speaker 4: Yeah it is.

1051
00:47:29,080 --> 00:47:29,200
Speaker 2: Uh.

1052
00:47:29,719 --> 00:47:31,440
Speaker 4: I will say, it's funny when you think back. We've

1053
00:47:31,480 --> 00:47:33,640
Speaker 4: had other instances, of course, where fans get on the floor.

1054
00:47:34,560 --> 00:47:35,959
Speaker 4: I mean, I don't know when it was, but remember

1055
00:47:35,960 --> 00:47:37,759
Speaker 4: we've had like fans go up to Lebron and ask

1056
00:47:37,840 --> 00:47:38,440
Speaker 4: for a selfie.

1057
00:47:38,719 --> 00:47:41,480
Speaker 8: Mellow someone went up to mellow, little kid hugged the mellow.

1058
00:47:41,560 --> 00:47:43,759
Speaker 4: Yeah there this kid and then and the one instance

1059
00:47:43,960 --> 00:47:45,840
Speaker 4: definitely was a woman. I'm not saying that change is

1060
00:47:45,880 --> 00:47:47,880
Speaker 4: it because I remember saying at the time like this

1061
00:47:48,040 --> 00:47:50,600
Speaker 4: is cool. It's a fun moment. You know, nobody's getting hurt.

1062
00:47:51,120 --> 00:47:53,400
Speaker 4: But it's like, uh, I don't want to like applaud

1063
00:47:53,480 --> 00:47:55,560
Speaker 4: this either, because then it just like gives more and

1064
00:47:55,680 --> 00:47:57,279
Speaker 4: more people the idea like, oh, I guess I can

1065
00:47:57,360 --> 00:47:59,400
Speaker 4: do this or I can try this. I get they're different,

1066
00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:01,719
Speaker 4: and I'm assume I don't know this dummy. Last night.

1067
00:48:02,200 --> 00:48:04,279
Speaker 4: I'm guessing he's got too many pops in him and

1068
00:48:04,360 --> 00:48:06,640
Speaker 4: he's got some bet going on and all this going

1069
00:48:06,680 --> 00:48:08,400
Speaker 4: a hound and all these other arenas. He's like, oh,

1070
00:48:08,480 --> 00:48:10,000
Speaker 4: I'll be a clown and I'll just run out there

1071
00:48:10,040 --> 00:48:12,120
Speaker 4: and slap the backboard and like, you know, he lost

1072
00:48:12,160 --> 00:48:13,920
Speaker 4: a shoe in the mix, you know, tightening up your

1073
00:48:13,920 --> 00:48:15,600
Speaker 4: shoes if you're gonna run on the floor, idiot.

1074
00:48:16,000 --> 00:48:17,840
Speaker 8: And that comes back to the deterrent factor that I

1075
00:48:17,960 --> 00:48:20,200
Speaker 8: was talking about yesterday, Like make it so these guys know,

1076
00:48:20,280 --> 00:48:22,440
Speaker 8: hang on him, inte, hang on That guy went to jail,

1077
00:48:22,760 --> 00:48:26,319
Speaker 8: you know, like and he was embarrassed, and Shane, that's

1078
00:48:26,440 --> 00:48:27,840
Speaker 8: sort of what I could be facing here if I

1079
00:48:27,960 --> 00:48:29,279
Speaker 8: go out there and run on the court for like

1080
00:48:29,360 --> 00:48:31,440
Speaker 8: five seconds of gloria, And that's what you want to do.

1081
00:48:31,560 --> 00:48:33,640
Speaker 8: You want people to think it's not worth it, even

1082
00:48:33,680 --> 00:48:35,400
Speaker 8: though I have had a few beers, and you know,

1083
00:48:35,520 --> 00:48:37,320
Speaker 8: my dickhead mates are en garaging me to go and

1084
00:48:37,440 --> 00:48:37,640
Speaker 8: do it.

1085
00:48:37,760 --> 00:48:41,239
Speaker 4: So yeah, all right, let's take one more break and

1086
00:48:41,239 --> 00:48:43,600
Speaker 4: then we'll start looking ahead to tonight's three games and

1087
00:48:43,640 --> 00:48:47,640
Speaker 4: do a little filling the blank fun. What do you got, Trey? Okay,

1088
00:48:47,680 --> 00:48:50,040
Speaker 4: filling the blank fun? Let's look ahead to tonight's games.

1089
00:48:50,440 --> 00:48:52,960
Speaker 4: First one, Leo wants you to get a started here.

1090
00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:53,640
Speaker 4: Fill in the blank.

1091
00:48:53,719 --> 00:48:53,959
Speaker 7: Okay.

1092
00:48:54,600 --> 00:48:58,680
Speaker 4: The Celtics have a blank chance of extending this series

1093
00:48:58,719 --> 00:49:01,279
Speaker 4: tonight versus the Brooklyn It's zero.

1094
00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:04,600
Speaker 8: Really, yeah, they're not going to do it. They're not

1095
00:49:04,680 --> 00:49:08,280
Speaker 8: going to do it. The Nets, the Nets didn't expect

1096
00:49:08,320 --> 00:49:11,719
Speaker 8: to even be playing this game, really, and now they're

1097
00:49:11,719 --> 00:49:14,759
Speaker 8: at home. They know the Milwaukee Bucks are resting, getting

1098
00:49:14,800 --> 00:49:17,319
Speaker 8: ready for that second round, and I think you're going

1099
00:49:17,360 --> 00:49:19,760
Speaker 8: to see the Nets make sure that this series doesn't

1100
00:49:19,840 --> 00:49:21,880
Speaker 8: drag out and they don't have to go to Boston

1101
00:49:21,960 --> 00:49:25,400
Speaker 8: for a potential game six. We've seen of course, you

1102
00:49:25,440 --> 00:49:27,600
Speaker 8: know some injury concerns there with Kemba Walker. I'm not

1103
00:49:27,640 --> 00:49:29,960
Speaker 8: sure actually for his status for tonight, but if he

1104
00:49:30,120 --> 00:49:33,759
Speaker 8: doesn't play, it's virtually impossible to see Jason Tatum, who's

1105
00:49:33,760 --> 00:49:36,280
Speaker 8: been great. He's been fighting, and we know he's capable

1106
00:49:36,280 --> 00:49:38,480
Speaker 8: of gone for fifty, but there's just not enough other

1107
00:49:39,000 --> 00:49:41,880
Speaker 8: support there for him. So the Nets are at full strength.

1108
00:49:42,080 --> 00:49:45,479
Speaker 8: No major injury concerns of course there. I think Kad,

1109
00:49:45,760 --> 00:49:48,399
Speaker 8: James Harden, and Kyrie are just going to make sure

1110
00:49:48,440 --> 00:49:51,040
Speaker 8: that this series ends tonight convincingly. I think it's going

1111
00:49:51,080 --> 00:49:52,040
Speaker 8: to be over. I think it's going to be a

1112
00:49:52,080 --> 00:49:55,640
Speaker 8: blowout too. So don't really see a way here for

1113
00:49:55,719 --> 00:49:56,960
Speaker 8: Boston to extend the series.

1114
00:49:57,360 --> 00:49:59,400
Speaker 4: Do you think Luke Cornett will take a dump on

1115
00:49:59,440 --> 00:50:00,800
Speaker 4: the Brooklyn logo tonight?

1116
00:50:03,120 --> 00:50:03,520
Speaker 7: He should?

1117
00:50:03,719 --> 00:50:04,680
Speaker 2: Why not? Why not?

1118
00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:08,560
Speaker 4: You know we'll revenge there for Kyrie stepping on Luddy's face.

1119
00:50:08,840 --> 00:50:13,919
Speaker 7: Making the Luke Cornetts yeah yeah, oh yeah, they're very nice.

1120
00:50:14,120 --> 00:50:16,000
Speaker 4: Maybe he just lies down there, he's like, I'm the

1121
00:50:16,080 --> 00:50:19,480
Speaker 4: only Net here. Okay, so you got zero percent? Does

1122
00:50:19,520 --> 00:50:21,240
Speaker 4: anyone want to go higher than that? I know, Tasks,

1123
00:50:21,239 --> 00:50:23,520
Speaker 4: when we were talking about the last game, you were

1124
00:50:23,560 --> 00:50:26,319
Speaker 4: pointing out that I think it was KD. Wright was saying, well,

1125
00:50:26,400 --> 00:50:28,839
Speaker 4: you know, we ain't coming back here. We're not coming

1126
00:50:28,880 --> 00:50:30,640
Speaker 4: back to boss, So we're done with this place. So

1127
00:50:30,719 --> 00:50:32,600
Speaker 4: I assume you think the Nets close us out tonight.

1128
00:50:33,320 --> 00:50:35,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, but I wouldn't go zero. I'd go at least

1129
00:50:35,600 --> 00:50:38,880
Speaker 5: one percent, because there's at least one percent chance that

1130
00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:43,200
Speaker 5: they win. Clearly their best player, Kevin Durant says, we

1131
00:50:43,320 --> 00:50:45,040
Speaker 5: don't want to come back. They're going to be ready

1132
00:50:45,080 --> 00:50:49,760
Speaker 5: to kick ass. And yeah, I mean the Celtics obviously

1133
00:50:49,920 --> 00:50:53,319
Speaker 5: have some hope, but that's about it. It's a lot

1134
00:50:53,400 --> 00:50:56,759
Speaker 5: of hope, a lot of hope going into Brooklyn where, yeah,

1135
00:50:56,840 --> 00:50:59,040
Speaker 5: they haven't won a game in this series, so I

1136
00:50:59,120 --> 00:51:01,040
Speaker 5: doubt it's going to happen tonight when the Celtics have

1137
00:51:01,160 --> 00:51:04,239
Speaker 5: some motivation to not go back and see Larry the Leprechaun.

1138
00:51:04,719 --> 00:51:05,560
Speaker 5: They don't want to see.

1139
00:51:05,480 --> 00:51:11,719
Speaker 4: Larry Hilarry Tray.

1140
00:51:11,800 --> 00:51:14,279
Speaker 7: You think it's over just quickly, I'm going even higher

1141
00:51:14,440 --> 00:51:19,160
Speaker 7: skates three percent chance the Celtics gotta win here. Jason Tatum,

1142
00:51:19,239 --> 00:51:22,719
Speaker 7: after his fifty point games said, sometimes games like this

1143
00:51:22,840 --> 00:51:25,600
Speaker 7: are needed. One of those games like that is needed

1144
00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:29,360
Speaker 7: tonight for Jason Tatum. That's the recipe for the Celtics,

1145
00:51:29,440 --> 00:51:33,960
Speaker 7: a huge Tatum game. The Nets kind of just slacking

1146
00:51:34,040 --> 00:51:37,040
Speaker 7: on this one looking across the court and seeing a

1147
00:51:37,120 --> 00:51:39,759
Speaker 7: lot of injuries on the Celtics taking their foot off

1148
00:51:39,800 --> 00:51:42,200
Speaker 7: the gas, and then surprise, whoops, the Nets have a

1149
00:51:42,280 --> 00:51:45,319
Speaker 7: bad shooting night. Meanwhile, Jason Tatum goes off. That's how

1150
00:51:45,360 --> 00:51:48,120
Speaker 7: the Celtics win. It is it likely? No, this one's

1151
00:51:48,160 --> 00:51:51,400
Speaker 7: probably over tonight. But I've got three times as much

1152
00:51:51,480 --> 00:51:56,359
Speaker 7: confidence as Task does, and infinitely more confidence than Lee does,

1153
00:51:56,440 --> 00:51:58,600
Speaker 7: that it could possibly happen.

1154
00:51:58,960 --> 00:52:00,600
Speaker 4: All right, let us know on this dream team. Let

1155
00:52:00,680 --> 00:52:02,399
Speaker 4: us know in the YouTube comments. With all these fill

1156
00:52:02,400 --> 00:52:04,120
Speaker 4: in the blanks, let's see your answers. Let's go to

1157
00:52:04,200 --> 00:52:06,600
Speaker 4: the next one here, Trey, I want you to look

1158
00:52:06,640 --> 00:52:09,840
Speaker 4: into your crystal ball. Okay, fill in the blank. The

1159
00:52:10,080 --> 00:52:15,760
Speaker 4: Blazers Nuggets Game five Hero tonight will be blank.

1160
00:52:16,320 --> 00:52:18,839
Speaker 7: Looking into my crystal ball, and the name I keep

1161
00:52:18,920 --> 00:52:23,759
Speaker 7: seeing is Michael Porter Junior. Your Game five Hero had

1162
00:52:23,840 --> 00:52:27,080
Speaker 7: a decent Game one twenty five points, his best scoring

1163
00:52:27,120 --> 00:52:29,839
Speaker 7: output of the series, but he went one of ten

1164
00:52:29,920 --> 00:52:32,799
Speaker 7: from three in the Nuggets loss and the next two

1165
00:52:32,880 --> 00:52:36,840
Speaker 7: Nuggets wins eighteen points and fifteen points fair, but he

1166
00:52:36,920 --> 00:52:40,319
Speaker 7: completely disappeared in Game four, three points on just three

1167
00:52:40,400 --> 00:52:44,040
Speaker 7: shot attempts. In twenty two minutes a blowout loss for

1168
00:52:44,239 --> 00:52:47,280
Speaker 7: the Nuggets. Mike Malone call this er, sorry, sorry, sars.

1169
00:52:47,960 --> 00:52:51,200
Speaker 7: Michael Malone called his team out after the loss, said

1170
00:52:51,200 --> 00:52:53,839
Speaker 7: they were playing soft. Portland did a very good job.

1171
00:52:53,920 --> 00:52:56,640
Speaker 7: I thought on MPJ in Game four, Norm was all

1172
00:52:56,760 --> 00:52:58,760
Speaker 7: over him. There was a lot of help on screens

1173
00:52:58,840 --> 00:53:01,920
Speaker 7: to not give up wide open jumpers to MPJ. But

1174
00:53:02,560 --> 00:53:04,920
Speaker 7: he can score in other ways too. He's gonna have

1175
00:53:05,120 --> 00:53:07,680
Speaker 7: size on Norm Powell tonight. Just turn and shoot over

1176
00:53:07,760 --> 00:53:09,359
Speaker 7: him in the post. That's an easy way to get

1177
00:53:09,680 --> 00:53:12,200
Speaker 7: some different shots in the flow of the game. Hit

1178
00:53:12,239 --> 00:53:14,719
Speaker 7: the glass, get some putbacks. Michael Porter Junior. He's tall,

1179
00:53:14,800 --> 00:53:17,200
Speaker 7: he can make an impact on the glass. He said

1180
00:53:17,520 --> 00:53:20,919
Speaker 7: that he wants to impose his will in Game five.

1181
00:53:21,239 --> 00:53:23,440
Speaker 7: Let's see it. He's got to be the number two

1182
00:53:23,800 --> 00:53:25,000
Speaker 7: for the Nuggets to have a chance.

1183
00:53:25,320 --> 00:53:28,960
Speaker 4: We talked about Norm's performance ly after Game four, and

1184
00:53:29,040 --> 00:53:31,759
Speaker 4: I went through some of his great games as a

1185
00:53:31,840 --> 00:53:35,680
Speaker 4: raptor in playoff series over the years. In many series

1186
00:53:35,719 --> 00:53:38,400
Speaker 4: he's actually stepped up in big moments. He's usually a

1187
00:53:38,480 --> 00:53:41,400
Speaker 4: game five guy. You know, it's game six, Clay, it's

1188
00:53:41,480 --> 00:53:44,200
Speaker 4: game five, Norms. So could we see another Norm performance

1189
00:53:44,280 --> 00:53:46,640
Speaker 4: and if not, what's your answer here for this fill

1190
00:53:46,680 --> 00:53:47,080
Speaker 4: in the blank?

1191
00:53:47,560 --> 00:53:49,880
Speaker 8: Yeah, well that's a I wasn't really thinking Norman even

1192
00:53:49,920 --> 00:53:52,239
Speaker 8: though we did have that great game, because ten Norm

1193
00:53:52,360 --> 00:53:54,160
Speaker 8: tends to be the opposite where he has a great

1194
00:53:54,200 --> 00:53:56,200
Speaker 8: game and then he does go missing for a couple

1195
00:53:56,239 --> 00:53:59,040
Speaker 8: of games. But what about Austin Rives doing it again?

1196
00:53:59,120 --> 00:54:01,960
Speaker 8: I mean, hey, fantastic in that Game four victory in

1197
00:54:02,080 --> 00:54:04,120
Speaker 8: that fourth quarter. Now he's at home, in front of

1198
00:54:04,200 --> 00:54:06,719
Speaker 8: his home fans. Can Austin Rivers do it again? Because

1199
00:54:06,800 --> 00:54:13,080
Speaker 8: tonight's game is pivotal, very very easy and you but

1200
00:54:13,160 --> 00:54:15,880
Speaker 8: if you are the Blazers and Damian Lillard especially, who

1201
00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:18,920
Speaker 8: had by his own standards, a pretty bad game even

1202
00:54:18,960 --> 00:54:21,400
Speaker 8: though they blew out the Nuggets in Game four, this

1203
00:54:21,600 --> 00:54:23,520
Speaker 8: is the crucier one that Blazers have to win so

1204
00:54:23,600 --> 00:54:25,359
Speaker 8: they get a chance to close it out at home

1205
00:54:25,400 --> 00:54:28,400
Speaker 8: in Game six. So I expect a much better performance

1206
00:54:28,520 --> 00:54:31,640
Speaker 8: from from Lillard, knowing what's at stake here. So I'm

1207
00:54:31,640 --> 00:54:34,320
Speaker 8: gonna I'm going to hedge and say one superstar Lillard

1208
00:54:34,440 --> 00:54:36,680
Speaker 8: and then have some fun and hopefully Austin Rivers can

1209
00:54:36,880 --> 00:54:39,279
Speaker 8: give us another storyline to talk about, because he's fun

1210
00:54:39,320 --> 00:54:41,080
Speaker 8: to watch when he gets cooked and he talks trash

1211
00:54:41,160 --> 00:54:43,160
Speaker 8: to the bench. He'd be going crazy in front of

1212
00:54:43,200 --> 00:54:45,799
Speaker 8: his home fans there. So I'm having one from each side.

1213
00:54:46,080 --> 00:54:48,600
Speaker 4: Okays, where are you going with this? Who's the hero tonight?

1214
00:54:49,840 --> 00:54:52,879
Speaker 5: Well, the scheduler is the heroes not starting this game

1215
00:54:53,000 --> 00:54:56,320
Speaker 5: early like he did on Sunday there or a Saturday,

1216
00:54:56,360 --> 00:54:59,360
Speaker 5: I should say, the old one o'clock local start for

1217
00:54:59,400 --> 00:55:02,920
Speaker 5: the Blazers gets really through Michael Porter Junior off through NIKOLEA.

1218
00:55:02,960 --> 00:55:05,640
Speaker 5: Jokic off. I would be tempted to start this game

1219
00:55:05,760 --> 00:55:08,560
Speaker 5: early as well, considering Nets Celtics is the one that

1220
00:55:08,640 --> 00:55:11,680
Speaker 5: they have to start early. I get it. It's a

1221
00:55:11,719 --> 00:55:13,839
Speaker 5: West Coast game, so you're throwing it a little bit later.

1222
00:55:13,960 --> 00:55:16,200
Speaker 5: So he's the winner. He or she is the winner.

1223
00:55:16,200 --> 00:55:19,000
Speaker 5: Scheduling this game late so we get the best performances

1224
00:55:19,080 --> 00:55:22,640
Speaker 5: from everybody. And I do expect MPJ and Jokic to

1225
00:55:22,760 --> 00:55:24,880
Speaker 5: bounce back. You know, good teams bounce back. So I

1226
00:55:24,920 --> 00:55:29,359
Speaker 5: expect their top two players after not having their best

1227
00:55:29,400 --> 00:55:31,920
Speaker 5: games of the series, both their two players having their

1228
00:55:32,080 --> 00:55:35,040
Speaker 5: their worst game of the series. Yeah, I like MPJ

1229
00:55:35,280 --> 00:55:38,480
Speaker 5: and Jokic leading the way here for the Nugs.

1230
00:55:38,480 --> 00:55:40,880
Speaker 4: Do you think whoever wins tonight task wins the series.

1231
00:55:41,200 --> 00:55:42,719
Speaker 4: Is it that pivotal? Well, I don't know what the

1232
00:55:42,760 --> 00:55:46,280
Speaker 4: percentage is. It's very high, right, It's like whoever wins

1233
00:55:46,360 --> 00:55:49,439
Speaker 4: game five and a two to two series eight? Maybe

1234
00:55:50,520 --> 00:55:52,000
Speaker 4: is it in the eighties eighty tier or something like that.

1235
00:55:52,360 --> 00:55:54,800
Speaker 4: So okay, whoever wins tonight is going to win this series?

1236
00:55:55,239 --> 00:55:56,840
Speaker 5: You go on, that falls high. I think it happens,

1237
00:55:57,080 --> 00:56:00,280
Speaker 5: is higher than the chances of the Celtics winning tonight.

1238
00:56:00,400 --> 00:56:03,560
Speaker 5: That's sure. Yeah, I would take I would take it.

1239
00:56:04,000 --> 00:56:06,680
Speaker 5: I would say, yeah, yeah, for sure, I think that

1240
00:56:07,280 --> 00:56:09,480
Speaker 5: that's what generally happens. I mean, this is this is

1241
00:56:09,520 --> 00:56:12,040
Speaker 5: why you get home court advantage, so you can get

1242
00:56:12,600 --> 00:56:15,200
Speaker 5: Game seven at home. So if you even if you

1243
00:56:15,280 --> 00:56:18,359
Speaker 5: win this one or you know, you can go back

1244
00:56:18,400 --> 00:56:20,440
Speaker 5: to Portland and lose and then come come take care

1245
00:56:20,480 --> 00:56:20,840
Speaker 5: of business.

1246
00:56:20,880 --> 00:56:23,560
Speaker 4: So yeah, this is well, although Portland beat Denver, one's

1247
00:56:23,600 --> 00:56:26,240
Speaker 4: in Denver, right in a in a best of seven time.

1248
00:56:26,480 --> 00:56:28,239
Speaker 5: It's a different team. It's a different team.

1249
00:56:28,840 --> 00:56:30,480
Speaker 4: Could be an awesome game, should be an awesome game.

1250
00:56:30,520 --> 00:56:31,880
Speaker 4: We're hoping it is at the very least all right,

1251
00:56:31,920 --> 00:56:34,800
Speaker 4: final one, you know another, Now down to best of

1252
00:56:34,800 --> 00:56:36,720
Speaker 4: three affair. It's a two two series between the Suns

1253
00:56:37,000 --> 00:56:40,719
Speaker 4: and the Lakers and tasks. Everybody's pretty hyped about what

1254
00:56:40,960 --> 00:56:42,960
Speaker 4: type of Lebron we're going to get tonight because I

1255
00:56:43,000 --> 00:56:45,120
Speaker 4: don't know what the update is on Anthony Davis. I

1256
00:56:45,200 --> 00:56:47,400
Speaker 4: believe he's questionable. Who knows if he's going to actually

1257
00:56:47,440 --> 00:56:50,920
Speaker 4: play in this game. But I want you to fill

1258
00:56:50,960 --> 00:56:55,279
Speaker 4: in the blank. Lebron's game five stat line tonight versus

1259
00:56:55,320 --> 00:56:57,080
Speaker 4: the Suns will be what blank.

1260
00:56:57,560 --> 00:57:01,000
Speaker 5: Well, I think people are definitely expecting a a monster

1261
00:57:01,280 --> 00:57:04,480
Speaker 5: from Lebron, considering Anthony Davis will not be one hundred

1262
00:57:04,480 --> 00:57:08,759
Speaker 5: percent even if he does play, especially considering Lebron was

1263
00:57:08,880 --> 00:57:12,440
Speaker 5: doing the old nodding. Okay, I get this at the

1264
00:57:12,520 --> 00:57:14,000
Speaker 5: end of game four. I get what you guys are

1265
00:57:14,080 --> 00:57:16,440
Speaker 5: doing to me. I'm coming back with the monster. But

1266
00:57:16,600 --> 00:57:18,480
Speaker 5: I think the monster number is going to be his

1267
00:57:18,560 --> 00:57:21,160
Speaker 5: assist number because he's going to try and get guys going.

1268
00:57:21,400 --> 00:57:23,720
Speaker 5: And like the Nuggets had a poor game the last game,

1269
00:57:24,080 --> 00:57:26,840
Speaker 5: a lot of the Lakers complimentary players had poor games.

1270
00:57:26,880 --> 00:57:29,440
Speaker 5: I expect Lebron to be setting up Denis Shuter who

1271
00:57:29,480 --> 00:57:32,000
Speaker 5: had a horrendous game, Alex Cruso, who had a bad game,

1272
00:57:32,080 --> 00:57:35,280
Speaker 5: Kntevis Caldwell Pope who should be back as well. So

1273
00:57:35,640 --> 00:57:37,880
Speaker 5: those guys are important, So I expect him to get

1274
00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:41,600
Speaker 5: into the double digits and assists. And then you know,

1275
00:57:42,000 --> 00:57:44,720
Speaker 5: once those guys are creating space for him as he

1276
00:57:44,880 --> 00:57:48,960
Speaker 5: picks the Sons apart and they're gonna have to pay

1277
00:57:49,000 --> 00:57:51,640
Speaker 5: attention to Lebron as they have all series, then he'll

1278
00:57:51,680 --> 00:57:53,640
Speaker 5: go get his points. So I do expect him to

1279
00:57:53,680 --> 00:57:55,720
Speaker 5: break the thirty point barrier for the first time this

1280
00:57:55,840 --> 00:57:58,600
Speaker 5: season or for the first time this postseason. So we'll

1281
00:57:58,640 --> 00:58:01,360
Speaker 5: go thirty two to nine. It's just short of a

1282
00:58:01,400 --> 00:58:03,240
Speaker 5: triple double to go along with twelve assists.

1283
00:58:03,320 --> 00:58:06,160
Speaker 4: Okay, I like it, getting specific, Trey, have a go

1284
00:58:06,280 --> 00:58:07,560
Speaker 4: at it. What's Lebron's line tonight?

1285
00:58:08,000 --> 00:58:08,360
Speaker 9: All right?

1286
00:58:08,520 --> 00:58:12,840
Speaker 7: Lebron has played ten game fives since the twenty sixteen season.

1287
00:58:12,920 --> 00:58:15,520
Speaker 7: He's had forty or more points in four of those games.

1288
00:58:15,560 --> 00:58:18,400
Speaker 7: So I'm going plus forty on the points, and in fact,

1289
00:58:18,920 --> 00:58:22,600
Speaker 7: I'm going exactly forty eight points, nine rebounds, and seven assists.

1290
00:58:23,000 --> 00:58:26,880
Speaker 7: Because yesterday was the fourteen year anniversary of Lebron's scoring

1291
00:58:27,000 --> 00:58:31,360
Speaker 7: the last twenty five points against the Detroit Pistons in

1292
00:58:31,520 --> 00:58:34,360
Speaker 7: a game five. So yeah, give me that exact same

1293
00:58:34,440 --> 00:58:39,280
Speaker 7: stat line forty eight nine oh seven twenty five straight

1294
00:58:39,440 --> 00:58:44,480
Speaker 7: in the fourth quarter. Throwback Tuesday, Today's Tuesday, Right, throw

1295
00:58:44,520 --> 00:58:48,280
Speaker 7: back Today? Oh Taco Tuesday. This is a lock?

1296
00:58:48,800 --> 00:58:51,840
Speaker 4: Oh wow, Lee, I mean, these guys are high on

1297
00:58:51,920 --> 00:58:53,800
Speaker 4: the on the game five Lebron, We're gonna see tonight.

1298
00:58:53,840 --> 00:58:55,840
Speaker 4: The Suns are a good defensive team. Let's not forget

1299
00:58:56,080 --> 00:58:58,160
Speaker 4: it's in Phoenix. Let's not forget that. And who knows

1300
00:58:58,240 --> 00:59:00,800
Speaker 4: what ad what like? What's your go see with this one?

1301
00:59:01,000 --> 00:59:01,160
Speaker 2: Yeah?

1302
00:59:01,200 --> 00:59:03,560
Speaker 8: Well the Son's a five point favorite too. Going into

1303
00:59:03,640 --> 00:59:06,000
Speaker 8: this book, I thought was, Yeah, I thought that's a

1304
00:59:06,640 --> 00:59:08,760
Speaker 8: little juicy there. I would have had a little bit closer,

1305
00:59:08,800 --> 00:59:12,080
Speaker 8: But yeah, I think clearly Anthony Davis I would suggest

1306
00:59:12,160 --> 00:59:14,960
Speaker 8: he probably doesn't play in this one. That's what I'm feeling.

1307
00:59:15,080 --> 00:59:17,240
Speaker 8: So in that sense, Lebron, I don't think he's going

1308
00:59:17,280 --> 00:59:18,760
Speaker 8: to get a ton of rebounds because they have got

1309
00:59:18,800 --> 00:59:21,680
Speaker 8: some coverage there and Drummond and Marcus Ool So Lebron's

1310
00:59:21,680 --> 00:59:24,240
Speaker 8: going to do his focus, all his energy on the

1311
00:59:24,280 --> 00:59:26,560
Speaker 8: offensive end. But I think he gets thirty seven points,

1312
00:59:27,320 --> 00:59:31,640
Speaker 8: six rebounds, and thirteen assists I think he certainly tries

1313
00:59:31,680 --> 00:59:33,960
Speaker 8: to get those guys involved early. I think that's when

1314
00:59:34,000 --> 00:59:36,480
Speaker 8: he racks up his assists early on, and then if

1315
00:59:36,520 --> 00:59:38,680
Speaker 8: it's not going as planned, then he just sort of

1316
00:59:38,760 --> 00:59:40,840
Speaker 8: takes over and starts putting on one of those just

1317
00:59:40,960 --> 00:59:44,160
Speaker 8: ridiculous performances where he does this, he rubs his shirt

1318
00:59:44,600 --> 00:59:46,400
Speaker 8: like that, and then he steps in and starts hitting

1319
00:59:46,440 --> 00:59:49,200
Speaker 8: threes late in the game. So yeah, I think we're

1320
00:59:49,200 --> 00:59:50,360
Speaker 8: going to see a pretty special one.

1321
00:59:50,680 --> 00:59:53,240
Speaker 4: Okay, it sounds like by all these lines that a

1322
00:59:53,320 --> 00:59:55,600
Speaker 4: lot of you have the Lakers winning this pivotal game

1323
00:59:55,720 --> 00:59:58,760
Speaker 4: five here, or is anybody saying, hey, he puts up

1324
00:59:58,800 --> 01:00:01,400
Speaker 4: monster numbers, still may not enough. I mean, Struders needs

1325
01:00:01,440 --> 01:00:03,840
Speaker 4: to play well. Who knows with KCP and his health status. Like,

1326
01:00:04,160 --> 01:00:07,479
Speaker 4: Lakers are a great defense, but they are a little

1327
01:00:07,520 --> 01:00:09,720
Speaker 4: banged up right now, right, I mean, he could have

1328
01:00:09,800 --> 01:00:12,320
Speaker 4: a monster game, Lebron. I expect he will, but it's

1329
01:00:12,360 --> 01:00:14,280
Speaker 4: a not mean necessarily it would be a lock that

1330
01:00:14,320 --> 01:00:15,080
Speaker 4: they would win this game.

1331
01:00:16,040 --> 01:00:20,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, I expect Casey pe to come back, but yeah,

1332
01:00:20,760 --> 01:00:23,240
Speaker 5: I mean their defense is always going to be there

1333
01:00:23,800 --> 01:00:26,800
Speaker 5: every single game, So Lebron just has to make everybody

1334
01:00:26,840 --> 01:00:29,320
Speaker 5: around him better. And he's pretty good at that. You know.

1335
01:00:29,520 --> 01:00:32,840
Speaker 5: They again, like if so many guys had poor games,

1336
01:00:33,920 --> 01:00:36,200
Speaker 5: and I didn't even mention Kyle Kuzmas, he's having a

1337
01:00:36,280 --> 01:00:41,320
Speaker 5: poor series. You know, you you know, get the confidence

1338
01:00:42,040 --> 01:00:44,680
Speaker 5: from your superstar. It's going to trickle down. If Lebron

1339
01:00:44,760 --> 01:00:47,240
Speaker 5: wants to win this game like they did when they

1340
01:00:47,320 --> 01:00:51,640
Speaker 5: turned the series around after dropping the first game, then

1341
01:00:51,920 --> 01:00:53,560
Speaker 5: they're going to have to step up and play. This

1342
01:00:53,720 --> 01:00:56,720
Speaker 5: is a championship team, and so I believe. I believe

1343
01:00:56,840 --> 01:00:59,000
Speaker 5: for sure we'll have a good fight from the Suns,

1344
01:00:59,080 --> 01:01:02,000
Speaker 5: but the Lakers, We'll be ready. They know it's pivotal.

1345
01:01:02,480 --> 01:01:04,720
Speaker 5: Lebron's been in some series before. I believe.

1346
01:01:05,240 --> 01:01:08,640
Speaker 4: I am very excited for these two games tonight obviously

1347
01:01:08,680 --> 01:01:11,040
Speaker 4: Nuggets Blazers Game five and then the Sun's Lakers Game five.

1348
01:01:11,080 --> 01:01:12,959
Speaker 4: For the does feel, I mean, it's not a lock

1349
01:01:13,240 --> 01:01:14,880
Speaker 4: on a lock, it's one hundred percent. But man, you

1350
01:01:14,960 --> 01:01:17,360
Speaker 4: win this one, you're feeling pretty good about your chances

1351
01:01:17,440 --> 01:01:20,840
Speaker 4: of moving on to the next round. So should be entertaining.

1352
01:01:20,920 --> 01:01:23,080
Speaker 4: Can't wait to talk about it tomorrow with you guys.

1353
01:01:23,120 --> 01:01:25,160
Speaker 4: All right, JD, let's get to tweet of the night.
