Speaker 2: Thirty eight? By thirty eight.
Speaker 3: Points over the Brooklyn Brooklyn over the Boston Celtics plagued
Speaker 3: without Jason Tatum. There's been a lot of discussion over
Speaker 3: the last couple of days. Oh, this team plays better
Speaker 3: without Jason Tatum. You mean to tell me a team
Speaker 3: is better without a four time All NBA selection, a
Speaker 3: perennial All Star. You trying to tell me your team
Speaker 3: is better without one of the better players in the NBA.
Speaker 3: I never believe that for a second. Don't listen one game.
Speaker 3: Anything can happen, we know, but you and everybody know
Speaker 3: that they were not beating the Knicks. Where the Knicks
Speaker 3: weren't gonna lose three games without the team's best player.
Speaker 2: But they rolled by thirty eight.
Speaker 3: And they're going to the Eastern Conference Finals to make
Speaker 3: to face the team that they faced in the Eastern
Speaker 3: Conference semifinals last year, that is the Indiana Facers.
Speaker 2: Joe, you watched this game. I mean you want to
Speaker 2: tell it out?
Speaker 3: Okay, you did say oo oo Cho said, are you
Speaker 3: guys sure? Yes, the Knicks don't have a chance. I said,
Speaker 3: you know, I think the Celtics five, maybe six. I
Speaker 3: think the Celfiics don't get it. You're like, nah, I'm
Speaker 3: gonna ride with the Knicks.
Speaker 4: I said, I'm riding with the Knicks. Now listen, I am.
Speaker 3: You and the brand you the Grand Marshal taking off
Speaker 3: the Grand Marshall.
Speaker 4: Now before we go on, I want to make sure.
Speaker 5: Now I don't know if we remember, ash, I might
Speaker 5: need you to go back and check the tape because
Speaker 5: I remember. If I'm not mistaken, both of you picked
Speaker 5: the Selsis to win. I think Uncle you saying in
Speaker 5: five Joe, you might have said six. And on top
Speaker 5: of that, then I said, okay, let's make it light
Speaker 5: of yourself. Let's make a little side bet. Both of
Speaker 5: you chose to say a certain dollar amount.
Speaker 3: I ain't bet nothing, I said, I ain't betting the
Speaker 3: man that already owe me money.
Speaker 4: Okay, that's what you said.
Speaker 2: Yeah, ye, what I'm saying.
Speaker 4: But Joe, Joe, you owe me five hundred.
Speaker 2: Joe, we ain't bet no five hundred man.
Speaker 4: We said five hundred.
Speaker 3: We bet a light hunded. You know he'll come. He
Speaker 3: tried to get over there, abody I.
Speaker 5: Get trying to charge a little interest.
Speaker 3: We had.
Speaker 2: We had a nice little bet. You won the bet many.
Speaker 4: So you mean my cashyeh? I wish what you need
Speaker 4: cause I don't think.
Speaker 2: We'll talk about it later. We ain't got time right now.
Speaker 2: We got time.
Speaker 3: What we got Yeah, the next got four guys with
Speaker 3: twenty points or more. You got a triple double from
Speaker 3: Josh Hart who was that Miles McBride came up the bench,
Speaker 3: gave the ten slid quick points and they rolled. They
Speaker 3: were nineteen or twenty one from the free throw line,
Speaker 3: sixteen to forty six from the three. They shot forty
Speaker 3: six percent from the floor. Uh, they did a great
Speaker 3: job of they turned the ball over a little, but
Speaker 3: it didn't matter.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 3: You know, you could tell early on in the game
Speaker 3: how this game was gonna end. It was not gonna
Speaker 3: end favorably for the Boston Celtics.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 3: They really had only one guy that could that could
Speaker 3: get anything going because early on, only Jaylen Brunts, excuse me,
Speaker 3: Jaylen Brown was doing anything. Everybody else was just clanking
Speaker 3: and clanking and clanking, and you know, like, I wonder
Speaker 3: how many points the Nick is gonna actually win by
Speaker 3: because this is not this is not gonna be a
Speaker 3: close game and it's not gonna be pretty. Joe, what
Speaker 3: do you think? What do you look other than being outgunned?
Speaker 3: Why did you think it got so so out of
Speaker 3: hand so quick for the Boston Celtics. I think the
Speaker 3: Knicks really understood the moment.
Speaker 6: They didn't want to go back to Boston, and they
Speaker 6: just came out with that fight and that desired the
Speaker 6: intensity to win and get this series over with. I
Speaker 6: thought Jaylen Brown came to play, he gave him a
Speaker 6: great little boost. But man, when you get ky ocher,
Speaker 6: when you get down like that in the playoffs, and
Speaker 6: you got the five power to fight back. Man, this
Speaker 6: game was overwhelmed before it even really got started.
Speaker 2: To be honest with you.
Speaker 3: Derick Wright was a minus forty five and plus minus
Speaker 3: Jaylen Brown was minus thirty holiday minus thirty four, Luke
Speaker 3: Cornett was minus sixteen. Al Horf was minus thirty three.
Speaker 3: I don't know if I've ever seen somebody minus forty five.
Speaker 3: That's I mean, just like Shay was plus fifty one.
Speaker 3: I don't know if I've ever seen somebody minus forty
Speaker 3: five and plus minus Joe. But you're right, I mean,
Speaker 3: the Knicks got to go and they powdered them on
Speaker 3: the glass plus nineteen on the glass, plus plus six
Speaker 3: offensive rebound, everything, everything, Everything was in the next paper
Speaker 3: and the scoreboard would indicate that it was a close
Speaker 3: ball game. In this first quarter twenty six twenty You're like, okay, Boston,
Speaker 3: you hung around, But the next thing you know, it's
Speaker 3: a thirty eight to seventeen.
Speaker 2: So now you're down twenty seven.
Speaker 3: You're down thirty five at the end of the you're
Speaker 3: thirty five at the end of the soul.
Speaker 6: Yeah, this is a tough one because the Kniggs got
Speaker 6: six guys in double figures. So by committee they beat you.
Speaker 6: They two top guns, Cat and Brunson. You know, they
Speaker 6: did their thing as far as you know, playing being efficient,
Speaker 6: making plays, just playing hard. And then these other guys
Speaker 6: like the Ogs O GK twenty three to night. I mean,
Speaker 6: this is this close out basketball.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 6: They did not want to go back to Boston and Man,
Speaker 6: New York is in a frenzy right now, man because okay, hey,
Speaker 6: hey hey, they got a chance to make it to
Speaker 6: the finals. Man, and this is uh, this is great
Speaker 6: for basketball.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I got a excellent chance.
Speaker 3: This. These teams are familiar with each other. Uh, there's
Speaker 3: two different styles. One want to grind you out, the
Speaker 3: other one to get up and down.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 3: Sometimes the the Knicks will go with their two bigs,
Speaker 3: Mitchell Robinson and Cat.
Speaker 2: You know, the only big that really that.
Speaker 3: The the Pacers have is Miles Turner. They don't really
Speaker 3: play TV Thomas Bryant and and and Miles Turner together.
Speaker 3: So it's gonna be very interesting to see because if
Speaker 3: you put Miles Turner on Mitchell Robinson, that means Pascal
Speaker 3: Siakam has to deal with Cat.
Speaker 2: Cat has the advantage.
Speaker 3: And then when Cat gets his button down on the
Speaker 3: block when Cat is not selling for threes. Cat'sungardible. There's
Speaker 3: nobody that's currently in the playoffs that can deal with Cat. Nobody, No,
Speaker 3: not not if he when he decides like I'm going
Speaker 3: to the.
Speaker 6: Block, Yeah, I think, Hey, okay, I think you're gonna
Speaker 6: have to play Cat at the five a lot just
Speaker 6: this series against Indiana, because you're gonna have to. You're
Speaker 6: gonna have to deal with Seetam. He's gonna he's a
Speaker 6: very important piece in this series. Who could who can
Speaker 6: ultimately win you a series. I don't like the fact
Speaker 6: that Kat would have to guard him, So I think
Speaker 6: you're gonna.
Speaker 3: Kat probably have to guard He'll probably guard Miles Turner.
Speaker 3: Bro Miles Turner just step out to the three man,
Speaker 3: Miles will stretched five. I'm saying, if Kat is in
Speaker 3: there with with Big Fella, if yeah, with Mitchell Robinson, Yes, yes,
Speaker 3: but uh man, this is this.
Speaker 6: These two teams kind of mirror each other to me.
Speaker 6: They they both blue collar teams. Yeah, gonna beat you
Speaker 6: by committity, You don't. You don't really know who's gonna
Speaker 6: be for the niggas Brunston has been, you know, clutch
Speaker 6: pretty much the whole playoffs, the whole season. But this
Speaker 6: is gonna be a good series, man, two gritted teams
Speaker 6: who ain't gonna play.
Speaker 2: A lot of pretty basketball. It's gonna be some ugly games.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you got you know, you got guys that
Speaker 3: can defend. You got Nim Hard that can defend, the
Speaker 3: Smith that can defend. You got a Matt Burn who
Speaker 3: can defend. So you got some guys Siakam that can
Speaker 3: defend the same thing. You got Miles Bridges, you got og,
Speaker 3: you got Josh Hart. You got guys on the Knicks
Speaker 3: that can defend at an elite level. So I agree
Speaker 3: with you. It's gonna be who takes care of the
Speaker 3: basketball the best. But if you turn the basketball over
Speaker 3: against the Pacers, hey, they landed up before you. You
Speaker 3: look around at the fishal like that was a file.
Speaker 3: They're laying the ball up at the other end. So
Speaker 3: these are two teams that we saw them last year
Speaker 3: when seven games Indiana went to MSG one game seven
Speaker 3: on the Knicks floor. But this is a different Knicks team.
Speaker 3: This is not there. They traded out Julius Random, brought
Speaker 3: in a cat, and it seems to be working, really,
Speaker 3: really well, I mean, you know Cat and them there
Speaker 3: a specially Julius randold them they're in the Western Conference Finals.
Speaker 3: They're waiting the winner of the Nuggets and the OKC Thunder.
Speaker 3: But I thought the Knicks. I don't know if the
Speaker 3: Nicks can play any better. I mean, you got four
Speaker 3: guys with twenty plus points and look at the plus.
Speaker 3: And you got Josh hart Gay your triple double. Uh uh,
Speaker 3: and and and and Miles McBride who's been playing very
Speaker 3: well in the limited role that he's been playing, making
Speaker 3: big shots, playing some really good defense. Uh, it's gonna
Speaker 3: be a great series. Would I be surprised if he
Speaker 3: winning six or seven?
Speaker 2: Nope? I would not.
Speaker 5: Okay, well, I got I got the I got the
Speaker 5: most important question for both of you. Again, before a
Speaker 5: series starts, now, when it comes in boxing styles, win fights,
Speaker 5: a third person style, you understand who probably has a
Speaker 5: better chance of winning based for the outcome. So again,
Speaker 5: you got the Knicks, hard hat, blue collar team. They're
Speaker 5: gonna get it the hard way. And he got the
Speaker 5: guy damn four about one pacers that like to run
Speaker 5: up and down the court.
Speaker 4: Now who we got winning the series?
Speaker 5: Now you say it Mike, you said you can see
Speaker 5: it going six or seven of five and six whatever
Speaker 5: you said, Yo, what you think what series going to?
Speaker 2: Man?
Speaker 6: Listen, I'm downed the Knicks, bro, this whole playoffs.
Speaker 4: Now we're waking up.
Speaker 2: Can I tell? Can I talk?
Speaker 6: I've been down to the kniggas I had Detroit, you know,
Speaker 6: giving them problems.
Speaker 3: And uh, they did gave them more problems than the Celtics.
Speaker 3: They gave give them problems.
Speaker 6: But I think they learned through those series, through the series,
Speaker 6: or they learned a lot about themselves as far as
Speaker 6: being resilient. You know, they lost their first game at home,
Speaker 6: and I just thought it was gonna be an uphill climb.
Speaker 6: But they pretty much handled that series, and I think
Speaker 6: it prepared them for you know, this series right here
Speaker 6: against Boston.
Speaker 2: Many were they were gritty, they were hungry.
Speaker 6: Obviously they were the healthier team, and I just thought,
Speaker 6: you know, they had guys made plays at the right time,
Speaker 6: and I think it's their time, Bro. So I'm saying
Speaker 6: they have to say this. I don't really want to
Speaker 6: bet against the Knicks no more, man, but but Ojo,
Speaker 6: the Pacers got six dudes averaging double figures in the playoffs. Right,
Speaker 6: they got six maybe even maybe seven dudes averaging double
Speaker 6: figures in the playoffs. These two teams, Man are so scared, Harry,
Speaker 6: and you don't really you don't know what you're gonna
Speaker 6: what you're gonna.
Speaker 2: Get out of them. I think, like I said, the
Speaker 2: same style as far as fight.
Speaker 3: Yep, I'm giving an edge to the Knicks because they
Speaker 3: got home court advantage.
Speaker 6: Now you want to they got home part advantage, man,
Speaker 6: chill what you want from I.
Speaker 5: Was trying to I was trying to double it nothing
Speaker 5: that bet. See if you want to, you know, run
Speaker 5: it back. But okay, okay, we.
Speaker 2: Might get, we might get.
Speaker 6: We might can put a little something on the on
Speaker 6: on this game seven coming up and the next series
Speaker 6: in the Western Conference.
Speaker 4: I hold your horses, what's game seven?
Speaker 2: Okay?
Speaker 4: See in the Nuggets, maybe who you got?
Speaker 3: I know, I know you look like you got dimple.
Speaker 3: So I'm gonna go ahead and take Okay, see, list.
Speaker 4: I like I like the young bulls, young bulls. Listen,
Speaker 4: I like s G.
Speaker 5: A to show up, the show out and close the
Speaker 5: game out the way it should be closed out.
Speaker 2: Well it sound like we're thinking of like then yeah.
Speaker 4: Well, it's not like somebody stand at the back but
Speaker 4: go ahead.
Speaker 2: So when when does the Eastern Conference Finals kick off? Monday?
Speaker 3: A Tuesday? I think Tuesday Tuesday? Okay, so get a
Speaker 3: little rest. Uh, pacers are well rested. They've been off
Speaker 3: for the last so they're gonna be off damn near
Speaker 3: a week by the time by the time they play,
Speaker 3: so they'll be well rested.
Speaker 2: I like, you know, I would I be surprised.
Speaker 3: I think it's going six to seven games that nobody's winning,
Speaker 3: nobody's sweeping, nobody's winning in five. I like six or seven,
Speaker 3: and they are you know, look at them, Joe, you
Speaker 3: when you look at how they play, and look at
Speaker 3: how they you know, the starters, and you know, I
Speaker 3: think the Knicks probably have like three or four guys
Speaker 3: in double figures. Man, it's just hard to pick Brunson
Speaker 3: because that game is if the game isn't in the clutch.
Speaker 2: Moment, you don't trust it. I don't.
Speaker 3: I'm not so sure I trust anybody more in the
Speaker 3: postseason than I trust Jalen Brunson in a clutch moment.
Speaker 6: I agree, he's been special, especially down the stretch or
Speaker 6: when he's been counted out. He's He's come through time
Speaker 6: and time again in this postseason. And that's why I
Speaker 6: give the I mean, I give the Knicks to edge.
Speaker 6: Obviously they got home court advantage, and I think Brunton
Speaker 6: is gonna be a difference maker, you know in this series.
Speaker 2: Yeah, on that, But they're moving on.
Speaker 3: Knicks are going to the Eastern Conference Finals and one
Speaker 3: nineteen eighty one victory over the Boston Celtics minus Jason Tatum.
Speaker 3: I'm not so sure had they had Jason Tatum better,
Speaker 3: it'd have been any different, But they didn't have him.
Speaker 3: The Knicks made sure left no doubt. We're not going
Speaker 3: back to Boston.
Speaker 2: We're done.
Speaker 3: We're about to take two three days off and get
Speaker 3: ready for the Eastern Conference Finals because this is our
Speaker 3: chance to get to the NBA Finals, something that we
Speaker 3: haven't done since two thousand. Sham's had a very important
Speaker 3: update to day on Aaron Gordon's hamstring. Different Nuggets forward
Speaker 3: Aaron Gordon has been diagnosed with a left ham string
Speaker 3: string and the status is in doubt for Game seven
Speaker 3: against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Sources tell ESPN major development
Speaker 3: heading into Sundays three thirty pm Eastern game ABC for
Speaker 3: the Western Conference Finals. Birth We saw that. I saw
Speaker 3: him grab it last night. He started rubbing it. I
Speaker 3: saw the way he was walking and o Jo. We
Speaker 3: just talked about it the last night with Sean Marrier.
Speaker 3: I was like, I don't like that. I don't I
Speaker 3: didn't like the way he grabbed it. I said, in
Speaker 3: this instance of it, decided, I don't know if it'll
Speaker 3: be close if if he can't go and it doesn't
Speaker 3: look like he's gonna go, No, he's.
Speaker 4: Not gonna be able to go.
Speaker 5: I mean, what happened to him is really no different
Speaker 5: than what happened to Steph Curry.
Speaker 4: You know, once you feel, once you full to feel
Speaker 4: that pull, once you feel that paints.
Speaker 2: It's a rap.
Speaker 5: At that point, that's that's grade one. That's grade one.
Speaker 5: So you're gonna miss. But maybe at least three games,
Speaker 5: maybe four if that. If Yet wasn't able to come back,
Speaker 5: and Aaron Gourdon not gonna be able to come back.
Speaker 3: Either, Oh yeah, he wouldn't. Steph wasn't able to come
Speaker 3: back in like four games. So we'll make you think
Speaker 3: he's gonna be able to come back in forty eight hours.
Speaker 5: He's not gonna be able to un He's not gonna
Speaker 5: be able to because as soon as you try to
Speaker 5: come out there and make any kind of any kind
Speaker 5: of hurky jerky movement and again once they grab again like.
Speaker 4: A second time, you're dumb.
Speaker 2: Serious, Yeah that's right.
Speaker 3: And it's like, yeah, this absolutely impacts him because he's
Speaker 3: a guy.
Speaker 2: He can defend, he can rebound, he can score.
Speaker 3: Now, the last game, he didn't have that big I mean,
Speaker 3: he didn't score that much, but we know where Aaron
Speaker 3: Gordon he hit the big shot. He had two game
Speaker 3: winning shots. He hit the game win, had the game
Speaker 3: winning dunk against the Clippers, and he had the game
Speaker 3: winning three uh in Game one against Okay against Okay
Speaker 3: see in the first game, So we know what he represents.
Speaker 2: He's a guy that can defend multiple positions.
Speaker 3: You see him guard Shape, You'll see him guard Jayla Williams,
Speaker 3: He'll slide the chat. He can guard up multiple h positions,
Speaker 3: and he can go get you twenty and double digit rebounds.
Speaker 3: I don't know where they can get that kind of scoring,
Speaker 3: where they categ where they can get that kind of versatility. No, Look,
Speaker 3: I know Strawford had a great game. Russy has been
Speaker 3: the energize, the buddy off the bench for him. But
Speaker 3: you got to ride a Russ roller coaster. I just
Speaker 3: don't know, Joe, where they get that kind of versatility,
Speaker 3: where you get that scoring, that rebounding from If Aaron
Speaker 3: Gordon can't play and it doesn't look like he's going
Speaker 3: to play.
Speaker 6: Nah, I think and outside of Jokic, I think Gordon
Speaker 6: has been pretty much the most consistent you know. I
Speaker 6: know it's been buried, but for the most part, Gordon
Speaker 6: has won them games. He won them to last Yeah,
Speaker 6: so uh, he's been a huge piece of their success,
Speaker 6: you know, in this postseason. So without him, O, Joe,
Speaker 6: I mean, you're gonna have to lean on some of
Speaker 6: them young guys you got over there, and hopefully they
Speaker 6: can come through and have a big game.
Speaker 2: But Michael Porter Jr. Needs to have the game of his.
Speaker 6: Life and he needs to be are you saying to
Speaker 6: have the game in his life? But how's he having
Speaker 6: single digit goal I don't understand that.
Speaker 5: The injury is I mean, if the injury that that
Speaker 5: Michael Porter Junr. Has, if it's that bad where he's
Speaker 5: inefficient and he can't shoot, he's not really contributing offensively
Speaker 5: or defensively.
Speaker 4: I'm not sure why they just don't start Russ. I
Speaker 4: don't understand.
Speaker 3: Well, you said, you and Joe said, y'all want those
Speaker 3: points off the bench. Yeah, you need that spark plug
Speaker 3: because you know one thing Runt's gonna do. He gonna
Speaker 3: get your energy and effort. Yeah, that's hard to get
Speaker 3: from a lot of guys nowadays. So you need that
Speaker 3: spark off the bench if y'all do come out flat,
Speaker 3: or somebody who can come in and sustain if y'all
Speaker 3: do get off to a great start. But man, that's yeah,
Speaker 3: you're gonna need somebody to have an add of body experience.
Speaker 3: If Gordon a't gonna be able to go, but if
Speaker 3: he got that grade one, he might as well hang
Speaker 3: it up. You can put you can put as much
Speaker 3: tape on the hamstring you want to by, but you
Speaker 3: go to moving around, it's a rap's gonna it's gonna
Speaker 3: pull again.
Speaker 2: I agree.
Speaker 3: Like, look, Yo played unbelievable last night. He had twenty nine,
Speaker 3: fourteen and eight. Uh, you might need to have thirty nine,
Speaker 3: seventeen and twelve. And Jamal Murray probably need to go
Speaker 3: be a have an efficient twenty six to thirty two
Speaker 3: and Michael Porter Junior is gonna need to give you
Speaker 3: twenty plus points for them to have a chance.
Speaker 2: It could be a spare similar situation to what we
Speaker 2: saw tonight.
Speaker 3: The crowd got into the building and what was of
Speaker 3: six point All of a sudden, you go into the half,
Speaker 3: you're down by twenty one, you're down by twenty seven points.
Speaker 3: And look in the playoffs, when you get down by
Speaker 3: that minute, it's hard to come down. The Knicks have
Speaker 3: done it on several occasions.
Speaker 6: They received them get down, they got firepower, they got guys.
Speaker 6: Bruston he leads the NBA and clutch points for prints
Speaker 6: for the point so he can go get you twenty
Speaker 6: twenty five in a quarter.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 6: They've been fortunate in that sense, and that's why down
Speaker 6: the stretch man they've been more successful than not. So, man,
Speaker 6: I think we're gonna see the Knicks in the finals. Yeah,
Speaker 6: it looks like it.
Speaker 2: That's what I mean. I think ESPN would like that. Oh,
Speaker 2: because I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 3: You got to have the Knicks because they're the only
Speaker 3: one that has a national follow everybody else is regional
Speaker 3: people in them for the Pacers, people in Okay, see
Speaker 3: go to root for Okay. See people that denverer go
Speaker 3: root for Denver. People in Minnesota. But the Knicks is
Speaker 3: a household brand and so and plus you got that.
Speaker 2: You think about the markets.
Speaker 3: The got Minnesota, you got Oklahoma, you got Denver, and
Speaker 3: then you got New York.
Speaker 6: Okay, y'all want to jump the gun on this, but
Speaker 6: let's say let's say the Knicks do make it to
Speaker 6: the finals.
Speaker 2: Who would y'all want to see them play against?
Speaker 3: I know, I know, we still got some basketball to play.
Speaker 2: A man, there we go.
Speaker 3: I want because I won't see I won't see Cat
Speaker 3: and Julius they got swapped each other. Yeah cause somebody
Speaker 3: go say, see, y'all, y'all made a mistake that this
Speaker 3: could have been y'all if they make.
Speaker 6: It, if they both make it to the finals, we're
Speaker 6: still gonna say.
Speaker 2: That, of course, because who win?
Speaker 4: Okay, Okay, Okay.
Speaker 2: Hey, I won no no, you see, if you had me,
Speaker 2: the role would have reversed.
Speaker 6: If you had me, you kept me, Hey, hey, oh Joe, Yeah,
Speaker 6: it happened in Minnesota and the Knicks, except for bed partner.
Speaker 6: Believe that who you got, you got who you got
Speaker 6: in Minnesota.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Wolves and Young Wolves.
Speaker 5: Hey, hey and Joe, Imagine New York if they boyster
Speaker 5: god damn championship trophy.
Speaker 2: Oh man, come on, imagine the city of New.
Speaker 4: York if they helped when the god damn Championship.
Speaker 3: I mean that's like like when when a Boston or
Speaker 3: the Lakers. Because you talking about Cornerstone franchises, you talking
Speaker 3: about like from the beginning, it's.
Speaker 2: Gonna be bigger than that.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, for your because it's been so long, just
Speaker 3: because of the duration and you got to go back
Speaker 3: to what seventy three?
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's the last time they won a championship.
Speaker 2: The Knicks.
Speaker 3: Yeah, man, yeah, hey, them boys ain't gonna be no
Speaker 3: wrong in New York. Did that happened?
Speaker 4: Hey, listen, everything free, man, everything free.
Speaker 3: Look here, If Jalen Bronson brings the championship to the knickt.
Speaker 2: He golded, Yeah he is.
Speaker 3: He's looked at like Jeter, He's looked at like straight Hand,
Speaker 3: he looked at like l t. He's looked at like
Speaker 3: those great Yankees. That's how he'll be looked at, no question.
Speaker 3: Think about how they revered out those seventy teams Clyde Fraser,
Speaker 3: Earl the pearl and and.
Speaker 2: What was rested?
Speaker 3: So Wills reed, Look how they revered those bro have
Speaker 3: a lot of people don't even remember. Only Spike Lee
Speaker 3: remember the winning championship back then. Everybody else probably wasn't
Speaker 3: even born though, like two months old. Right, right for
Speaker 3: him to do that, especially at his size, at his side,
Speaker 3: Oh Joe six and he brings a championship. It's something
Speaker 3: about It's something about the little guy. It's something about
Speaker 3: the Iversons that we could wrap up.
Speaker 2: Man, I.
Speaker 3: Saw her y'ut man, Hey, y'all ain't much bigger than me.
Speaker 5: And you know the funny thing about it is is
Speaker 5: Ai was short, he was smaller stature. Jalalen Brunching is
Speaker 5: short and smaller stature. But they play like they play big.
Speaker 5: They play like they six six six seven yep, Oh man.
Speaker 3: Man, you couldn't let many. I had to have been
Speaker 3: six six six seven. What hey, hey, hey, that's hey.
Speaker 3: That's why he don't give us. That's why he don't
Speaker 3: give us everything. He can't he can't give us everything.
Speaker 3: What what if Brunce was six six right? He he
Speaker 3: ain't gonna give us everything. He's gonna give you.
Speaker 2: He's gonna get you enough to work with. O Joe,
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: I will give you some tools now, yeah, give some
Speaker 3: tools about you which worked?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 6: You're trying to cheat? Now, O Joe, you want to
Speaker 6: be about six four? What if OO was six? Gonna
Speaker 6: give you anything?
Speaker 4: I'm sixth I'm already six three.
Speaker 2: Now, don't worry about the Joe.
Speaker 3: Yeah, man, I hate you know what I hate this?
Speaker 3: This is a game seven and one of the team's
Speaker 3: key players isn't going to be there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was already up. He's already up.
Speaker 3: Your climb, So now you tell me I got to
Speaker 3: climb the mountain and I ain't got no shoes. I mean,
Speaker 3: I understand if you don't give me no mountain boots,
Speaker 3: but dam at least they may have some some gortex,
Speaker 3: some sneakers.
Speaker 2: So now your trail shoes or something.
Speaker 6: Hey, hey, it's destined. It's destined for some teams to
Speaker 6: make it. Uncle, he got it is he has the
Speaker 6: level of playing field sometime, you know what I mean? So, uh,
Speaker 6: this is this is why I feel like the road
Speaker 6: for success for the Timberwolves is high man, because you know,
Speaker 6: I think they they've been resting, and I think they
Speaker 6: understand the moment as well. And I think I just
Speaker 6: think it'd be so cool for basketball. Man, if we
Speaker 6: could get the Timberwolves versus the Knicks in the finals,
Speaker 6: Oh my.
Speaker 2: God, that'd be nice. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's gonna be different, though, it's gonna be the Yeah,
Speaker 3: I mean the Knicks. You need the Knicks, you need it.
Speaker 3: I mean, you can't have OKC in Indiana. I mean
Speaker 3: you could, but boy, boy.
Speaker 5: That's that's that's that's ugly.
Speaker 6: That we gotta put some respect on any other name. No,
Speaker 6: we gotta put some respect.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 3: The team is legit. Oh no, no, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 3: you you can't say nothing bad about the team because
Speaker 3: they get up and down the court. They can they
Speaker 3: can defend when they want to defend, but they're more
Speaker 3: interested in getting the ball out than there or taking
Speaker 3: it out or taking it off the rim and getting
Speaker 3: up and down the court.
Speaker 2: And sometimes they get a little careless. But no, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 3: They got guys that can defend them hard Matt burn
Speaker 3: or Niece Smith.
Speaker 2: They got guys that can defend.
Speaker 3: Oh absolutely, They got guys that come off the bench
Speaker 3: Matt Burn and McConnell comes off the bench.
Speaker 2: Giving you quality, quality minutes.
Speaker 3: Occasionally TV will come out to bench and give you
Speaker 3: ten solid minutes.
Speaker 2: He'll get you a couple of points, a couple of rebounds.
Speaker 3: But it's it's that five with macconmberland math, it's that
Speaker 3: it's that seven.
Speaker 2: Now do we know they're committee.
Speaker 3: They're gonna look to have five, six guys in double
Speaker 3: figures every somebody might have twenty one to twenty two,
Speaker 3: and they're gonna have a bunch of teams nineteen eighteen, sixteen, fifteen.
Speaker 3: That's how they play. That's how they play. But everything
Speaker 3: is really predicated on how aggressive is Halliburton.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 3: When he is aggressive, they're a different team. Sometimes he
Speaker 3: becomes too passive. He doesn't look to get his shot,
Speaker 3: he doesn't look to get all the way down the hill.
Speaker 3: He's looking at you know, start and then and distribute. Nah,
Speaker 3: you got to stay aggressive. When he stays aggressive, their different.
Speaker 3: They were behind against Cleveland and then all of a
Speaker 3: sudden he got aggressive. He started shooting the ball. Yeah,
Speaker 3: now we saw.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 6: I think Haliburt is the key and the other guys
Speaker 6: around them, the SAMs, the Turners. You know those those
Speaker 6: guys can explode at any given night. I think Hallenburg
Speaker 6: definitely has to come out and be aggressive against Bronson. Man,
Speaker 6: this is this is gonna be much watch TV guys.
Speaker 6: You know these dudes, they've competed, they've been doubted the
Speaker 6: whole year. We already know what Hallerburg has been going
Speaker 6: through as far as being the most what overrated player?
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, so.
Speaker 3: He's playing for something and he's been showed up, and
Speaker 3: I'm expecting this this series to go no different.
Speaker 2: You know, a drag.
Speaker 6: Out fight, two teams just being relentless amongst each other,
Speaker 6: and man, I just think it's gonna come down to
Speaker 6: home court advantage.
Speaker 2: Ojo Yeah.
Speaker 3: I think they'll probably start Michel Bridges will start on Myles,
Speaker 3: We'll start on on Halliburton. Do you think so O
Speaker 3: G O G will start on OG will start on siakam.
Speaker 4: Oh Yeah yeah, yeah, that's gonna be nice. When when
Speaker 4: that's year, when that sear we.
Speaker 2: Start again Tuesday?
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I think that's I think that's how they started.
Speaker 3: I think I think Avon Turner. Then I think Josh
Speaker 3: Hart will probably take He'll take either them hard or
Speaker 3: or Nie Smith.
Speaker 2: Right, right, man, there's some good match shows, bro. Yeah,
Speaker 2: oh for sure.
Speaker 6: Sure it may not be the prittiest basketball, but you're
Speaker 6: talking about some dudes competing at the highest level. Yeah,
Speaker 6: and trying to and then Brunson, Brunston and take mem
Speaker 6: Hard or Nie Smith, uh o g o g oh,
Speaker 6: g is gonna take.
Speaker 3: It's gonna take Siaka obviously, Kat Miles Turner. I believe
Speaker 3: they start. I believe Michael Bridges because he's long uh
Speaker 3: and will take will take.
Speaker 2: Halliburton.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then you could you can match Hart and Brunstling, Okay,
Speaker 3: Nie smithm Hard go from there. But I don't I
Speaker 3: don't think they put I don't think they start brunting.
Speaker 3: I don't think they start brunting on Halliburton. What you're thinking, Joe, Nah.
Speaker 2: They're not.
Speaker 6: They probably they probably gonna start him on on them
Speaker 6: Hard or a.
Speaker 2: Smith East Smith.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you're right, Yeah, because what you don't want is
Speaker 6: for Hallibert to get comfortable, So you're gonna have to
Speaker 6: keep keep somebody long rangey on him, pesky, somebody challenge
Speaker 6: them shots.
Speaker 2: They can pick him up, that can pick him up
Speaker 2: ninety four feet. Yeah. Yeah, it's gonna be a fun
Speaker 2: on man, It's gonna be a fun I know.
Speaker 6: You know, we talk about the Knicks making it to
Speaker 6: the finals, but time and time again, the Pacers have
Speaker 6: put themselves in position to be successful.
Speaker 2: So they've been.
Speaker 6: They've been pulling out wins and I don't think they
Speaker 6: could get so it's hard for me to go against
Speaker 6: the grain with these dudes.
Speaker 2: Man, they've been they just like New York.
Speaker 6: They've been gritty the whole season and it's not gonna
Speaker 6: stop now, like it's just gonna continue.
Speaker 2: So I'm looking forward to a good one.
Speaker 3: New York is moving to the Eastern Conference Finals one
Speaker 3: nineteen eighty one over the Boston Celtics. They will face
Speaker 3: the Indiana Pacers, who dispatched the number one seed in
Speaker 3: the Eastern Conference in five games, the Cleveland Cavaliers. Jimmy
Speaker 3: Butler says, it's really refreshing to be Steph Curry's sidekick
Speaker 3: on the Warriors. To come here and know I'm second
Speaker 3: to Steph. It's a really good thing to be his sidekick.
Speaker 3: It's really refreshing. I don't know if I've ever heard
Speaker 3: somebody that used to be in the number one all
Speaker 3: of a sudden happy with being number two. I got
Speaker 3: the expectations of the change because you do realize, Jimmy,
Speaker 3: they got you there because you're supposed to be the
Speaker 3: piece to get them over the hume.
Speaker 6: Hey, he's played this role before them. He's played with
Speaker 6: d Rose. He knows what it's like to be robbing.
Speaker 6: He knows what it's like to be, you.
Speaker 2: Know, a sidekick to some degree, and he's kind of
Speaker 2: like that. It was in Philly with Embided.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but again it all started at Chicago, you know, Jimmy.
Speaker 6: Jimmy had a different route and coming to the NBA.
Speaker 6: You know, he sat on the bisch in the first
Speaker 6: few years.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so when he first round draft pick.
Speaker 6: Yeah, so when he finally got his chance, bro, he
Speaker 6: embraced it. He took advantage of the moment and he
Speaker 6: a look back. So he understands his role playing with
Speaker 6: Steph and uh, he knows it was gonna make them successful.
Speaker 2: O Joe.
Speaker 6: So I think that's why he's trying to starve in
Speaker 6: this robbing role as much as he can, especially if.
Speaker 3: It's gonna help them be successful. Well, he didn't start,
Speaker 3: but he didn't do very well. Maybe maybe he get
Speaker 3: off to a bettle start. Next year against the timber Wolves,
Speaker 3: he had that one game and that was it.
Speaker 6: That was it, Joe, I know, because that's because Arcanocho.
Speaker 6: We we trying. We won't Jimmy to score forty and
Speaker 6: fifty points.
Speaker 2: But he was out.
Speaker 6: He was he was he was without Steph Curry, so
Speaker 6: you know, it was it was tough. The onus was
Speaker 6: on him throughout the whole.
Speaker 2: Guy.
Speaker 6: I know, he got paid big money, but he wasn't
Speaker 6: gonna be able to beat them Timberwolves by himself.
Speaker 1: Man.
Speaker 3: No, we just wanted to give us game that way,
Speaker 3: maybe we get stepped back for Game six, that's all. Hey, look,
Speaker 3: if I'm being honest, he looked like he'd been hobbled
Speaker 3: ever since he took that tough spell against Houston.
Speaker 2: He don't look like he'd been right.
Speaker 6: The way he moved out there, the way yeah, bro,
Speaker 6: it all looks a little.
Speaker 2: Orthodox to me. And don't he didn't look like he
Speaker 2: was moving well.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean I listen, I could. I can understand
Speaker 5: where Jimmy was coming from about being being the robin,
Speaker 5: you know, to to Steph Curry being batman, because I
Speaker 5: took that same approach. Remember hell, I stood on the
Speaker 5: table with Mike Brown and Marvil Lewis and that twenty
Speaker 5: ten season, I'm like, man, listen during the off season.
Speaker 4: Hey, hey coach, Hey Mike, we need to go get
Speaker 4: to Yo. We need to go get to Yo.
Speaker 5: Now you can understand what I've done for Cincinnati during
Speaker 5: that time, during that tenure, you know, and going in
Speaker 5: the year ten, I'm like, we need someone like this
Speaker 5: to get us over with the hump. We told one
Speaker 5: of the greatest players of all time and Mike and
Speaker 5: I told Mike Brown and Marv. I said, I have
Speaker 5: no problem taking my back seat to who I know,
Speaker 5: with my own two eyes, is better than me.
Speaker 4: In every statistical category. Bring him here, let's say, if
Speaker 4: we can get him help us out.
Speaker 5: I have no problem being being Robin, so I can
Speaker 5: understand where Jimmy's coming from and in a sense and
Speaker 5: taking that back see where the onus is really not
Speaker 5: on you. They have to do all the work obviously
Speaker 5: for more a little different because it's eleven man game, but.
Speaker 2: I get it. I get it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Look, Steph makes it easier for everybody because the
Speaker 3: floor is more space, there's more tension, eyes on him,
Speaker 3: and there's less eyes on the other four individuals, and
Speaker 3: so god, he makes it easy for a lot of
Speaker 3: other people. That's what happens when you play with a
Speaker 3: great player, especially the greater the player of the historically
Speaker 3: great players. The greater the player, the more attention they draw,
Speaker 3: less attention you get. And so now that's why you
Speaker 3: hear all about saying, man, it's so easy playing with
Speaker 3: great players. Yeah, because they make your job easier because
Speaker 3: now you're not the focal point they are. Right, Steff
Speaker 3: is always going to probably get the best defender. And
Speaker 3: guess what y'all gonna try to bless hi, y'all gonna
Speaker 3: try to trap him, try to get the ball out
Speaker 3: of his hands. He's gonna swing. He's gonna always do
Speaker 3: the right thing, make the right late. Now you scrambled
Speaker 3: and try to get back playing playing playing four against
Speaker 3: three because he always gonna have two on the ball
Speaker 3: when he got it, or you're playing four against four.
Speaker 2: The quarter is so space and open, and they missed
Speaker 2: that against the t Warves.
Speaker 3: You know when yep, yeah, you know you need he
Speaker 3: He's a game changer, man, he you know, he's a guy.
Speaker 6: Who can explode for forty to fifty points. You know,
Speaker 6: he was probably gonna have at least one or two
Speaker 6: of them in that series. So without him, it was
Speaker 6: hard for me to see the Warriors getting pass him.
Speaker 6: And that's the thing when you look at it, I
Speaker 6: don't know if it gets any easier because as as
Speaker 6: as as Steph gets older, right, the West gets tougher. Yeah,
Speaker 6: there's a possibility Yannis comes to the West. There's a possibility,
Speaker 6: you know, the Lakers make a move, the Clippers can
Speaker 6: make a move. There's so much gore, I mean, that's
Speaker 6: why you have to really seize the moment.
Speaker 2: In the moment.
Speaker 3: Oh next year, man, Hey we get another year with
Speaker 3: Jimmy on our belt.
Speaker 2: Bro.
Speaker 3: That ain't no guarantee, It's not Ain't no guarantee, Ojo.
Speaker 3: Many the Rockets mess around and made to make a
Speaker 3: trade and they get Yannis, they get another piece boom.
Speaker 3: The Clippers, maybe they move something to the Lakers, maybe they
Speaker 3: trade Austin Reeves and get a true big Ain't no guarantees, man,
Speaker 3: That's why you have to take advantage of it in
Speaker 3: that situation.
Speaker 2: That's why I say Boston. You know, Boston won the championship.
Speaker 3: Oh, man, they're gonna be loaded for you to look
Speaker 3: and just like that, Jason Tatum gone for a year.
Speaker 2: Jason Tatum not playing next year. Yeah, now he's.
Speaker 3: Not playing next year. If I'm not mistakeing, Kevin Ram
Speaker 3: miss two seasons. Dam yes, it's it's definitely unfortunate.
Speaker 1: Man.
Speaker 3: He missed. He missed eighteen months. He got hurt in June.
Speaker 3: The season started in October, he didn't play. Then they
Speaker 3: came back, he didn't start to play. They end up
Speaker 3: going to the bubble. He didn't play. So this is
Speaker 3: not an you know, this is not an injury. You know,
Speaker 3: a cl You see guys come back in seven months,
Speaker 3: eight months.
Speaker 2: I ain't happy with no achilles. Yeah, that takes you.
Speaker 3: It takes a lot of time because guess what, you're
Speaker 3: not bearing for six to eight weeks. Then you got
Speaker 3: to build that calf all the way back up. And
Speaker 3: there's a really high rate of retears and achilles. So
Speaker 3: you have to be extremely cautious. And I know JT's
Speaker 3: gonna do everything he possibly can to come back.
Speaker 2: He's young enough to come back. Look at KD.
Speaker 3: KD looked just as good, if not better, after the
Speaker 3: Achilles injury.
Speaker 2: Than he did before. KD didn't miss a beat. Ay,
Speaker 2: KD got that little damn frame though.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know that that frame he' got make a
Speaker 3: huge difference. Well yeah, he I mean, I don't think
Speaker 3: j T. JT just got wide showder. J T ain't
Speaker 3: no size. I mean when you look at it, when
Speaker 3: you look at the little cavs, he gotta be. He
Speaker 3: gonna be all right. He coulda be all right, Joe,
Speaker 3: he will be. He gonna be all right. But like
Speaker 3: I said, take air on the side of caution. Yeah,
Speaker 3: you got a very problem. You got another. You got
Speaker 3: another ten years ahead of you. J T theer on
Speaker 3: the side of caution. I know the the athlete and
Speaker 3: you the champion in you gonna want to get back.
Speaker 2: But hey, don't even don't even chance it, bro, don't
Speaker 2: even chance it.
Speaker 3: Steen Kerr was asked about the Warriors offensive system and said,
Speaker 3: this is our solar system. Steph Curry is the sun.
Speaker 3: Stephan is one of the all time great players, playing
Speaker 3: at the peak.
Speaker 2: Of his powers close to it.
Speaker 3: How many more years Steph is what thirty seven, thirty six,
Speaker 3: thirty seven, how many more?
Speaker 2: How many more of these years do you believe we
Speaker 2: have with Steph. Joe.
Speaker 6: I think step I think Steph could play into his forties.
Speaker 6: Now yeh, what type of basketball are we talking about?
Speaker 6: I think I don't want to see him as the
Speaker 6: focal point. Maybe go team up with some guys that
Speaker 6: can take some pressure off of him.
Speaker 2: But if if he's not the the main guy to
Speaker 2: where you have to focus on.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, I think he can play well until forto
Speaker 6: because I.
Speaker 2: Mean he a shoot a shoot shoot right. Yeah.
Speaker 6: I think the problem gonna be is having to guard
Speaker 6: these little dudes that's coming into the NBA or that's
Speaker 6: ready here.
Speaker 2: You know, as you age it get a little, it
Speaker 2: gets tougher and tough keep up. And you heard G. G.
Speaker 3: Jackson say on the Scout Report, Yeah, don't let him fly,
Speaker 3: don't let it get away.
Speaker 4: I I mean who would you?
Speaker 5: Who would you get right where where Stepp doesn't have
Speaker 5: to touch the bomb? Obviously, Dramond sometimes you know.
Speaker 2: The points some time. But how long could Steph keep up.
Speaker 4: With the running over and over and over and over
Speaker 4: and over the way he does.
Speaker 5: I mean, he's to be able to being at his
Speaker 5: game is not just he doesn't bang as much.
Speaker 2: You know, well, he's not playing. He's not playing above
Speaker 2: the rim, he's not playing about does he doesn't.
Speaker 3: It doesn't require him putting his body on somebody, playing
Speaker 3: with his back to the back so you can bang
Speaker 3: on him or he's banging on you. That's not what
Speaker 3: he does.
Speaker 4: He might be able to play may past forty.
Speaker 2: Then If that's the.
Speaker 3: Case, oh yeah, I can see I can see him
Speaker 3: playing in another for four years, four five years. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I would not be surprised if he played into it
Speaker 3: until his forties, not just forty. He's thirty eight, he'll
Speaker 3: be what will he be? He's thirty seven? What will
Speaker 3: he be? Thirty eight? Probably this year?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Yeah, you think he'll finish off with and uh oh
Speaker 5: he just turned thirty seven. In mark your career in
Speaker 5: Golden State. You think he'll go somewhere else or finish
Speaker 5: his career in Golden State?
Speaker 3: I think, I think. I think he's gonna be a
Speaker 3: I think he's gonna be a Kobe. I think he's
Speaker 3: gonna put that way, you know, if a Dirk, you know,
Speaker 3: Dirk put all twenty there, Kobe spent all twenty there.
Speaker 2: I don't know, I don't know. Okay, it all depends
Speaker 2: it all depends on how much.
Speaker 3: It's not like Golden State is not going to try
Speaker 3: to surround him with talent, because we know that they've
Speaker 3: gone and got Kevin Durant. Kevin Durant, we see them
Speaker 3: go out and get Jimmy Butler, so Groover and Lakeham.
Speaker 2: If they don't have a problem.
Speaker 3: They've been in the luxury attack, they've been in the repeater,
Speaker 3: and so they'll do whatever it takes in order to
Speaker 3: win a championship.
Speaker 2: The question is if and win.
Speaker 3: Steph will ever feel that he doesn't have a legitimate
Speaker 3: chance of winning a championship in Golden State, then will
Speaker 3: he be willing to say, you know what, I need
Speaker 3: to move on or does he just walk away?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Well, at what point will will Steph feel how Giannis
Speaker 5: feels in Milwaukee right now? But if he has owners
Speaker 5: that's willing to do what's necessary to continue to put
Speaker 5: the pieces around him to make sure you have a
Speaker 5: chance at continue each year, then he probably can finish.
Speaker 2: Know it's careerd.
Speaker 4: In Golden State, they got some.
Speaker 2: Pieces, I mean, think about it.
Speaker 3: They got Minga, they got Moody's from Draft Capital. I
Speaker 3: don't know if that you have the same because they
Speaker 3: had to trade some of it to get Jimmy Butler.
Speaker 3: I think they maybe gave up our first round pick
Speaker 3: in the Wiggans to get Butler.
Speaker 2: But you still got Kamingo, you got Moody.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think I think, Uh, I think Steph will
Speaker 6: I think he'll probably stick a round. I think they're
Speaker 6: gonna use some of those young guys they got and
Speaker 6: some good trade baiting go over there and try to
Speaker 6: bring in some more help to help the veteran group,
Speaker 6: because you just signed Jimmy to a two years Yeah,
Speaker 6: a two year deal.
Speaker 2: Yep, it was.
Speaker 6: It was a nice, healthy one and uh you know
Speaker 6: you got him, You got Jimmy dra mind Steph. Yeah,
Speaker 6: if you could add probably another some form of veteran
Speaker 6: help to some degree, Uh yeah.
Speaker 2: I think they can still make another run at it.
Speaker 6: But for the most part, I don't know, man, I
Speaker 6: can see him playing somewhere else.
Speaker 3: How many more peak years you think you got, you
Speaker 3: think you still play at that he can play at
Speaker 3: the level that he's playing at into his forties, or
Speaker 3: do we start to see a little, a little some
Speaker 3: of that dissipate.
Speaker 4: Oh man, it definitely wouldn't be the shot that dissipates.
Speaker 3: Well, well, as you get older, winning the first thing
Speaker 3: to go with your legs.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's real hot. Will he be able to continue
Speaker 2: to run at that pace?
Speaker 3: Create the separation right, because it's still gonna screen hell
Speaker 3: at you and.
Speaker 6: He been doing all He's been doing a lot of
Speaker 6: running for these past few years. Man, so it's gonna
Speaker 6: catch up with you at some point. Look that that
Speaker 6: hamshring ay. It let him know, you know, all the
Speaker 6: time it's undefeated. But I think he definitely still has,
Speaker 6: you know, at least at least three to four more
Speaker 6: years left with good basketball in him.
Speaker 2: I just don't want to see all the pressure on him,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, Like, yeah, you need some help.
Speaker 6: He maybe he ain't the leading scorer on the team,
Speaker 6: but he probably can be, you know, obviously one of
Speaker 6: your most important pieces.
Speaker 2: But I guess it's only time to tell Joe, what
Speaker 2: do you have Steph rank all time?
Speaker 3: Top five, top ten as far as guards or overall?
Speaker 2: Well, that's tough. I'll probably for sure put him top ten.
Speaker 3: I can see that guy. You got the top five
Speaker 3: or top ten. Now I've got him in the top five.
Speaker 3: I think I got him in the top ten, Bron Jordans,
Speaker 3: Kareem Cold Magic will for me, and then that's my
Speaker 3: top five.
Speaker 1: Ten.
Speaker 2: Oh, Kobe, did you say Duncan Duncan.
Speaker 3: I might put Duncan at six, Kobe at seven, but
Speaker 3: either way, just before this we're talking about top ten,
Speaker 3: Kobe Duncan is definitely in the top ten for me. Yeah,
Speaker 3: step I go Steph, Yeah, Steph bird shot.
Speaker 6: Okay, I can see that because Steph, he has changed
Speaker 6: the game.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yess iconic.
Speaker 6: You know he got these young dudes shooting from half
Speaker 6: court one step cross half.
Speaker 2: Now, he wasn't doing that. They wasn't doing that.
Speaker 6: And when I came out, when I came out of
Speaker 6: school in two thousands, you know, it's been it's been
Speaker 6: a thing, has been a lot different. So I definitely
Speaker 6: give him that. Man, he changed the game the way
Speaker 6: we play the game. Obviously playing with the Warriors, playing
Speaker 6: that that small ball he has, you know, put his
Speaker 6: mark on the game for sure.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I mean, I mean theoretically you could put I mean,
Speaker 3: you could make a case that Duncan is the top five.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: No, I think I think to Reemond Duncan are the
Speaker 3: most underappreciated players great players because and I think it's
Speaker 3: because they're big, because you know, first of all, Kareem
Speaker 3: was surly.
Speaker 2: And he did he changed his name when it was
Speaker 2: very unpopular.
Speaker 3: You have to realize what was going on in the
Speaker 3: sixties and the seventies. Yeah, so he wasn't the most
Speaker 3: popular player. Tim Duncan didn't say anything. Can you remember anything,
Speaker 3: Can you remember anything in his nineteen year career that
Speaker 3: he said that you could like?
Speaker 2: Man, y'all remember when Tim said this, you can't listen.
Speaker 6: I had the pleasure to play against two of those
Speaker 6: Spurs teams and O three we had Stephan Mars playing
Speaker 6: with the Phoenix Sons. We had Stephan Marlberry's the one
Speaker 6: he's playing the point guards, me, Steph Penny, Sean Marion
Speaker 6: and Mark Stoudaman.
Speaker 2: Was just a rookie.
Speaker 6: Yeah, he was just when we was an a seed OCHO.
Speaker 6: We played against the Spurs who was the one seed
Speaker 6: and we won game one. After that, it was a
Speaker 6: gentleman's but Tim Duncan was so special, bro Like he
Speaker 6: was special man. Uh, nothing exciting about his game. He
Speaker 6: just got it done every night.
Speaker 2: You got that shit.
Speaker 6: Twenty fifteen thirty two seventeen. But you like, he ain't
Speaker 6: gonna wile you. You know, he just gonna go coop done.
Speaker 7: Miss the fundamental yep, I said that that shot your
Speaker 7: ass to death, right, And that's and that's why I think, uh,
Speaker 7: you know, people kind of underestimate, you know, his career
Speaker 7: and how its went.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and Kareem, he what did Kareem do? He threw
Speaker 2: the sky hook?
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was so he had the most dominant shot.
Speaker 2: Nobody else has been able to perspect it. But it's boring.
Speaker 3: You know, nobody even try to throw the sky hook
Speaker 3: unless they run, unless the shot clock run it down,
Speaker 3: and they just try to heave it up.
Speaker 2: Hey, that's a tough shot, man.
Speaker 3: You got to put you got to be in the
Speaker 3: gym working on that to be throwing that sky hook?
Speaker 3: Magic because you two yo, bet magine did the baby
Speaker 3: skuy geinst the Celtics.
Speaker 2: And that's the thing I think.
Speaker 3: I think those are two of the most underraty because
Speaker 3: you look at Kareem he has six MVPs six, led
Speaker 3: the league in scoring, led the league rebounding, led the
Speaker 3: league in block shots. He's a fifteen time All NBA selection,
Speaker 3: eleven time All defensive selection, a nineteen time All Star,
Speaker 3: he was the all time leading scorer in NBA history.
Speaker 2: He's the third leading rebound in NBA history.
Speaker 3: People don't talk about Kareem Big Duncan five championships could
Speaker 3: have easily had six if Ray Allen didn't hit the
Speaker 3: most unbelievable shot in a pressure rized moment in NBA history. Man,
Speaker 3: he's a defensive player. Didn't Timmy to win the Defensive
Speaker 3: Player the Year? I know, either three time Finals MVP
Speaker 3: of a two time MVP. I don't know if he
Speaker 3: wasn't a defensive Player the Year. But he's an All
Speaker 3: defensive player, bad boy, Fifteen time All Defensive Player, fifteen
Speaker 3: times All the NBA, fifteen time All Star. And people
Speaker 3: look at him like he like he failed a cheating
Speaker 3: all and nobody. I mean, has anybody ever won I mean,
Speaker 3: hadn't he won like a thousand games? He won like
Speaker 3: a thousand games? Yeah, I don't think he.
Speaker 2: I don't think he ever won less than fifty. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Pop had the well or engine over there.
Speaker 4: Pop had it going for for years.
Speaker 3: Hey, okay, y'all remember you know, back when they got Duncan.
Speaker 3: I think David Robinson was still there.
Speaker 6: Yeah, but I think he had got hurt the year
Speaker 6: before something they had that they had their sub far season.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but they were they were a great team.
Speaker 6: But I think they had a major injury and that's
Speaker 6: how they got the number one pick and it happened
Speaker 6: to be Tim Duncan and it just took him, It
Speaker 6: took him over the top.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Tim Duncan, he won more games than anybody in
Speaker 3: the NBA history, Right, He's won a thousand and one
Speaker 3: game other than one. So if a god played twenty years,
Speaker 3: he would need to win fifty games regular season.
Speaker 2: That's just regular seasons. You need to play twenty years
Speaker 2: and win fifty games every.
Speaker 4: Year to get to a thousand postseason as well.
Speaker 2: Oh no he didn't. I ain't count his postseason wins.
Speaker 3: He got five championship, three m VPS, three finals MVPs,
Speaker 3: two regular season MVPs. Yeah, a lot of these records
Speaker 3: ain't gonna never be broken, man, Like this, all them records.
Speaker 2: Lebron satting every time he scores a record. Nobody catching that.
Speaker 5: Nobody Still you don't think nobody catch Lebron, especially now
Speaker 5: that the game has changed it's more free flow.
Speaker 3: I don't know if they're gonna be able to play
Speaker 3: long enough. O yo, And you can see you gotta
Speaker 3: think O yo. You said if he stopped. Now he's
Speaker 3: still playing. He's still he's still added that like Tom
Speaker 3: when Tom broke the record, and like, man, I don't
Speaker 3: know if anybody gonna break this record.
Speaker 2: And then he plays another three years. Hey, I can really, I.
Speaker 3: Can really see Lebron player at least at bare minimum
Speaker 3: two more years.
Speaker 2: Hey.
Speaker 6: Look, it ain't even just the longevity, it's just how impressive.
Speaker 3: He's doing it. He's still scoring twenty four and a
Speaker 3: half points a game at forty oh cho like that. Man, listen,
Speaker 3: that's crazy.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think you know, Luca makes it a little
Speaker 4: bit more easy because now.
Speaker 2: He doesn't all as much. Yeah, m that's that's crazy.
Speaker 4: Well, if they if they get if they get another
Speaker 4: special piece, the Lakers, the Lakers leader Big, they're gonna
Speaker 4: be nice.
Speaker 6: Because because the Timberwolves ain't going nowhere Bigger Nah No, Okay,
Speaker 6: so he's not going anywhere either.
Speaker 2: Houston's up and coming.
Speaker 3: They got the pieces to make a move to go
Speaker 3: get somebody impressive, right, the Clippers, I don't know if.
Speaker 2: They have that. I don't know if they have the
Speaker 2: draft capital huh.
Speaker 3: I mean really the only player that's I mean, you
Speaker 3: you want to do everything you can to keep Harden
Speaker 3: and Kawhi.
Speaker 2: And the big zoobots.
Speaker 3: So I don't know if they have the pieces to
Speaker 3: go get somebody else to aid them. Yeah, But a
Speaker 3: lot of these records like they I mean Lebron theoretically
Speaker 3: how many points he got, like forty two thousand, forty
Speaker 3: one thousand. I mean theoretically he could retire with forty
Speaker 3: three thousand points. He got forty two thousand, so theoretically
Speaker 3: he could have forty. If he plays two more years,
Speaker 3: he'll have forty four thousand. Man, forty four thousand points.
Speaker 3: That's crazy, man, God, never gonna be Ain't nobody catching that?
Speaker 2: Bro? They not catching it?
Speaker 3: I mean, And what he's a he could easily be
Speaker 3: first team All NBA. So that'll be a fourteen times
Speaker 3: first team All NBA selection. He's gonna be here. He's
Speaker 3: gonna make one of the teams one through three. So
Speaker 3: now he'll be a twenty one time All NBA selection.
Speaker 3: He's a twenty one time All Star. What five times
Speaker 3: All NBA? Four time will be what five or six
Speaker 3: time All NBA, four or five first Team All NBA Selections,
Speaker 3: four MVPs four Finals, MVPs three, All Star Game, MVPSY.
Speaker 5: That's the funny thing, uh and Joe, when you think
Speaker 5: about everything Lebron is accomplished, or the pressures that won
Speaker 5: him when he came out of high school, the consistency
Speaker 5: and everything he was able to overcome and being consistent
Speaker 5: year and a year out and all the accolades, his
Speaker 5: resume and his totality, and there are still people that
Speaker 5: have things negative to say about him when it comes
Speaker 5: to the game of basketball, like that's like they have
Speaker 5: at this point, you just have to make up something,
Speaker 5: or like he's done it all.
Speaker 4: What else can he do?
Speaker 2: Comes with him? Man comes in territory.
Speaker 4: What the hell else can you do? That's nothing, That's
Speaker 4: that's crazy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, These seventy six ers are expected to listen to
Speaker 3: offers for the number three overall draft pick. Per the Athletic,
Speaker 3: it's expected that the Sixers will listen to offers for
Speaker 3: the number three, but it's unclear whom.
Speaker 2: The team would take if it stays Rutgers.
Speaker 3: Bailey has been seen as the biggest upside swing and
Speaker 3: he feels a theoretical position of need for the Philly
Speaker 3: as a big wing That means that possibly, I mean,
Speaker 3: are you gonna move We'll talk about that in a minute.
Speaker 3: But he also is viewed as the more of a
Speaker 3: project scouts an executive than the Sixers front office that.
Speaker 2: Likely need to win next year to keep their jobs.
Speaker 3: I've also gotten a wider sense of the appreciation of
Speaker 3: the front offices for the edge Combe than Bailey.
Speaker 2: Are the Sixers?
Speaker 3: Question is are the Sixers a pickaway or trade away
Speaker 3: from being a contender? You got Joel Embiid, you got PG,
Speaker 3: you got Tyree's mack. See, he's mainly the piece that
Speaker 3: puts them over the hunt. Let me tell you they
Speaker 3: need to swing that pick into a a proven player man,
Speaker 3: I like Bailey.
Speaker 6: They they be crazy out to draft Bailey with that
Speaker 6: third pick. Let me tell you all these kids are projects.
Speaker 6: What they mean, uh, Cooper Flag is a project? Like
Speaker 6: they ain't no giving.
Speaker 3: None of these dudes gonna come into this league and
Speaker 3: in the first year you're banking on them to play
Speaker 3: significant minutes and and and turn you into a household franchise.
Speaker 2: No, it's it's gonna it's gonna take time.
Speaker 6: Even if Okay, Dallas draft Cooper Flag and they keep
Speaker 6: him with a D and that's gonna be a project
Speaker 6: as well, right, Like they all gonna be projects, man.
Speaker 2: But they'll win that.
Speaker 3: I believe they'll win more because they got more solid
Speaker 3: quality players to start with.
Speaker 2: A lot of.
Speaker 3: Times when the guy goes number what, overall he's going
Speaker 3: to a team they ain't really got nothing to work with.
Speaker 3: I mean like like, man, he went to the he
Speaker 3: went to Uh, he went to Meddle Soda. Damn they
Speaker 3: had cat Cat wasn't one on wrong draft pick right right,
Speaker 3: and cat Cat.
Speaker 6: Had to suffer through all them years and who Okay,
Speaker 6: we get a number one pick again.
Speaker 2: Then we got Man. Now we got us something. Yeah.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's kind of how it goes, you know what
Speaker 6: I mean. Uh, But I like a Baile, I like
Speaker 6: it's upside. Yes, yes, he will be a project, but I.
Speaker 3: Think in two to three years he will for sure,
Speaker 3: you know, be able to help Philly, you know, definitely
Speaker 3: do something.
Speaker 5: So that means I don't think they don't have nothing
Speaker 5: in the draft, right you think about it, a team
Speaker 5: even willing or even thinking about listening to office for
Speaker 5: that third pick. So there's nobody in this draft coming
Speaker 5: out this year that is similar to how and Man
Speaker 5: was when he was at Georgia.
Speaker 2: Nothing mm hmm. And and and.
Speaker 3: That, like or Lebron or Wimby or Zion, you like,
Speaker 3: can't miss right, can't miss, don't only thing. And I
Speaker 3: said this before, I said, the only thing that concerned
Speaker 3: me about Zion is his way, because he's a big
Speaker 3: young man, big young man, turn of the big old man,
Speaker 3: big old man can't play sports.
Speaker 2: He's really that simple, O, Joe. I think they might
Speaker 2: move it, but look, I never got that.
Speaker 3: I never got the sense, Joe, you can correct me
Speaker 3: from our own living is resting here.
Speaker 2: What you think.
Speaker 3: I never really felt that Zion was happy about going.
Speaker 3: I think zaiyall would have preferred to be number three
Speaker 3: overall and go to New York.
Speaker 2: To be number one overall and go to New Orleans.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I definitely agree. I think his run in New
Speaker 6: Orleans is over. But I never I never felt his
Speaker 6: heart was there, you know, and playing, because the only
Speaker 6: way you can show that you cares if you get
Speaker 6: your butt out there on the court. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 6: get a fan something to see and for the most part,
Speaker 6: it's been non existent.
Speaker 2: Now when he do play, oh, he's unbelievable. He is amazing.
Speaker 6: So uh yeah, I'm sure I'm sure he won't that
Speaker 6: New York Market. I'm sure he wanted to go there.
Speaker 6: He would have. Oh my god, can you hey you
Speaker 6: you you're right, You're right, Joe.
Speaker 3: And you know, it's like everybody's gonna sign that Rookie
Speaker 3: Max expansion.
Speaker 2: You be foolish not to.
Speaker 3: It's one hundred and fifty hundred and sixty million dollars
Speaker 3: and you're coming out and going into your third you know,
Speaker 3: coming out of your third year, you be foolish not
Speaker 3: to sign it. But he was like, man, first chance
Speaker 3: I could get. You know, he liked one of them guys.
Speaker 3: Guys like man, he's a really hard worker when he
Speaker 3: shows up now he works hard. We just can't get
Speaker 3: him to come out all the time. You know, you
Speaker 3: you've heard boss and say that about workers. Boy, he
Speaker 3: actually you get him here now, he gonna work for you.
Speaker 3: He's just getting him here. With Zion's on the court,
Speaker 3: nobody can question Zion's ability. It's just that more times
Speaker 3: than not, O Joe, he's probably missed more games than
Speaker 3: he's playing game, and it's hard. The fans get frustrated,
Speaker 3: front office get frustrated.
Speaker 2: You know. Now all of a sudden, people are questioning,
Speaker 2: how serious are you taking it? You see, you're not
Speaker 2: controlling your wage, You're not disciplined like you.
Speaker 1: Need to be.
Speaker 2: It's just it's it's a tough sale.
Speaker 6: I think it's gonna be a lot of moving pieces
Speaker 6: this summer in the NBA, meaning like I do to
Speaker 6: some big guns, I think I do too.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna get moved around this summer. I love what
Speaker 2: the game is to.
Speaker 6: You know, these teams competing in the playoffs, we've been
Speaker 6: able to see some pretty good basketball. I know this
Speaker 6: the Celsius game tonight wasn't great, but for the most part,
Speaker 6: you know, everything's been competitive. Uh, it's been fun to watch.
Speaker 6: And then ultimately that's what you want, you know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, they just got this this new deal.
Speaker 3: They going to Amazon NBC. So you're in the first
Speaker 3: year this collective bargain new deal, what seventy seven billion?
Speaker 3: So I think you'll have some pieces too. I think
Speaker 3: they're gonna be I think there's gonna be a lot
Speaker 3: of movement this offseason. A lot of movement. Yeah, I
Speaker 3: definitely do. Like I'm talking about some of my favor
Speaker 3: and somebod Yeah, yeah, I wouldn't be I wouldn't be
Speaker 3: surprised if Philly move Paul George or try to.
Speaker 2: I wouldn't be surprised if Philly moved in Bid. I
Speaker 2: wouldn't either.
Speaker 5: Yeah, what I'm saying maybe MB to the Lakers you're
Speaker 5: talking about, you say we need they need to be
Speaker 5: huh what you think?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 2: Yeah, But the thing.
Speaker 3: Is that what you want, you want Ruey and Austin
Speaker 3: Reeves because you're not getting Lebron. Lebron has no trade
Speaker 3: and you're not getting Luca. So what do you want Oustar,
Speaker 3: Reeves and RUI.
Speaker 6: That's yeah, Yeah, they're gonna have to take They're gonna
Speaker 6: have to take something. But it definitely won't be Lebron Luca. Yeah,
Speaker 6: it won't be neither one of them because you want
Speaker 6: to pay them with them right then?
Speaker 3: Ooh and that's yeah, that's yeah. But I think there's
Speaker 3: gonna be a lot of moving pieces. Would I be
Speaker 3: surprised if the Pelicans moves on on? No, I think
Speaker 3: there's a sixty seventy percent chance to.
Speaker 2: Do yeah, I agree.
Speaker 6: I think soon as they probably working on it right now,
Speaker 6: soon as the trade, soon as the trade open up.
Speaker 3: And here's the thing, I'm not so sure either one
Speaker 3: to be disappointed. I don't think Zion to be disappointed
Speaker 3: if he traded, and I don't think the Pelicans front
Speaker 3: office can be traded.
Speaker 4: Wait a minute, now, he might be disappointed depending on
Speaker 4: where he goes.
Speaker 2: He ain't he even be disappointed. I don't think he.
Speaker 3: I don't think he think looks at anything it's worse
Speaker 3: than where he currently is. Not just me talking, I
Speaker 3: don't know. I know who he is, but I'm not
Speaker 3: saying I'm not talking to it. But I don't think.
Speaker 4: I don't.
Speaker 3: I don't think he views any place that he could
Speaker 3: potentially go in the NBA is worse than where he's
Speaker 3: currently at and.
Speaker 4: Where New Orleans is beautiful, bro, But New Orleans is that, Yeah, it.
Speaker 3: Is if you want to go sight see, if you
Speaker 3: want to go eat.
Speaker 5: Even from a basketball standpoint, I mean I view Zion
Speaker 5: is one of those players generational talents that can change
Speaker 5: the game. He can change the franchise. He just hadn't
Speaker 5: been able to stay on the court. Okay, So how
Speaker 5: can he change it off the court?
Speaker 2: Is he a martyr?
Speaker 3: He's simple here he'll heal the activist. I mean, so,
Speaker 3: how you gonna change it?
Speaker 4: Sure he ain't gonna change it nowhere else? Then what's
Speaker 4: the difference?
Speaker 3: Hey, who knows? I mean sometimes you go to a
Speaker 3: change city red. Oh show you you heal up like
Speaker 3: Luke Man heal up? And then guess what you ain't
Speaker 3: making that bit? You ain't need no ben a, you
Speaker 3: need no a two faith, no bude and no jumper.
Speaker 2: Liar you? I mean, o yo, if you got it
Speaker 2: first of all?
Speaker 3: Uh, I think New Orleans or Memphis, one of them is, like,
Speaker 3: was voted the fastest city than in the USA, the fattest. Yeah,
Speaker 3: so you don't want to be if I if I
Speaker 3: got if I got an eating problem, oh yo, the
Speaker 3: last place I want to be. He'll the place that
Speaker 3: have food and I could get it in the top
Speaker 3: nor he everywhere got food everywhere ain't got no food
Speaker 3: like New Orleans.
Speaker 2: Stop it ain't no.
Speaker 3: I wonder how they probably got one vegan spot in
Speaker 3: New Orleans. Everything else is heavy cream, heavy sauce LRD.
Speaker 5: Hey say, some of the best cooking in the world.
Speaker 5: Come from down in New Orleans Many.
Speaker 4: Oh my goodness, and.
Speaker 3: Guess what as soon as you eat it, you want
Speaker 3: to go lay down and go to sleep.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I want to. I want to see him.
Speaker 2: I want to. I want to see Zion move to.
Speaker 2: I ain't gonna lie. I want to see you might
Speaker 2: need to.
Speaker 6: We might need to get him down there in Miami
Speaker 6: with pat Riley. Oh jo let him, let him put
Speaker 6: their work on him. Oh okay, okay, I'll make a call.
Speaker 6: There might be one that might be one person I

Speaker 3: doesn't know if he could have played in the social
Speaker 3: media age, the Twitter and all that.
Speaker 2: Other stuff, because they think about it.
Speaker 6: Think about think about all of the stuff he got
