1
00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:09,200
Speaker 1: I like baked beans cold from the tin, said genuinely.

2
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:12,319
Speaker 1: People think this is ridiculous. I love baked beans cold

3
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:17,000
Speaker 1: from the tin, perfect with a fok horse spoon.

4
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:22,280
Speaker 2: Spoon spoon so you can skew the last ones.

5
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 1: Yes, but what about this the tomashowy sauce.

6
00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:26,640
Speaker 3: Oh you're right.

19
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 2: I would like to thank the fifty to sixty people

20
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 2: yesterday who reminded me why I say Alec Burke's name

21
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:20,319
Speaker 2: like Alc Bergs. It's a Seinfeld reference. It was always

22
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 2: a Seinfeld reference. Here's a screen grab from that episode

23
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:27,760
Speaker 2: where they see Alec Berg. He's got a good John

24
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 2: Houseman name, says Jerry alc Berg. Mister big, that's where

25
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 2: Alec Burke's comes.

26
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 1: From, right, it's a John Houseman name.

27
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 2: Oh, Jesus, that's like a guy that won like a

28
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:44,199
Speaker 2: Best Supporting Actor in the seventies. He's like a British guy.

29
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 2: I think he was a lawyer in some famous film

30
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 2: in the seventies and a real proper look, mister Burg.

31
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 2: I think that's the reference.

32
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 1: Okay, so a character he plays his named Alec Berg.

33
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 2: I'm gonna have another fifty or sixty people write in

34
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 2: and tell me who John Housman is now in that reference.

35
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 4: Well, it sounds to me like John Housman is a

36
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 4: character actor, yes, and Alec Berg was a character actor, right, Alec.

37
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 2: Yes. What's funny is there's an actual Alec Berg who

38
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 2: was a writer on Seinfeld as well, and it's like

39
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:15,640
Speaker 2: a comedy writer. But yes, the character in the show

40
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:16,080
Speaker 2: for sure.

41
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 4: Well yeah, so surely in the writer's room they were

42
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:19,919
Speaker 4: joking about this man's name. But he's saying it's a

43
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 4: John Housman name. It's like, I say, you have a

44
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 4: great character actor name.

45
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 2: Right, Oh, yeah, I guess so, yeah, yeah, maybe, but

46
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,519
Speaker 2: I thought also maybe a character that John Housman played

47
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:31,920
Speaker 2: said names like that, like you know.

48
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 3: Stab, like that type of thing. Maybe. Who knows.

49
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,920
Speaker 2: We started with this, but I couldn't believe the response

50
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 2: so many people jumping on that Seinfeld reference. Even our

51
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 2: guy John Schumann slided into the d m S who

52
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 2: was listening to the show a little bit later to

53
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 2: let us know Seinfeld reference. That is why we say

54
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 2: alec Berger.

55
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 1: Alec Berg also worked on Curb Enthusiasms. According to Colly Mos.

56
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was how Hausman spoke. Okay, tee, okay, okay, great,

57
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 3: that's the show. Everybody takes me.

58
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 2: Okay, let's get into the games from last night. We

59
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 2: had two of them, which could be the last time

60
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 2: we see two NBA playoff games in this postseason on

61
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 2: the same day. We'll get into this guy.

62
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 1: So I hope they don't put conference finals games on

63
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 1: the same day.

64
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 2: We don't want that. We could have two games on Sunday,

65
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,079
Speaker 2: but who knows, who knows. Let's not get ahead of ourselves.

66
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:25,920
Speaker 2: Let's go last night. Luca, he stopped complaining, he just

67
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 2: played basketball, put a smile on his face. Just focused

68
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 2: on basketball, guys, and it worked. Thirty one point triple

69
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 2: double as the MAVs topped the Thunder in that pivotal

70
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 2: Game five. Dallas leads the series three to two. This

71
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 2: was a really dominant performance from Luca and the entire

72
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 2: MAVs team to take control of this series.

73
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it started with Luca for sure. He wiped

74
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 1: himself clean of Game four. Well, he said, he spit

75
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 1: it cleaned after the game, he said, I just I spit.

76
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 1: After Game four, I texted my man Alex Cursik. Is

77
00:03:56,600 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 1: that a Serbian superstition? He said, yes, so I consider

78
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 1: it probably a Slovenian superstition as well. I would consider

79
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 1: is this is like an alec Berg mystery. I would

80
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 1: consider it a former superstition of all the Yugoslav countries,

81
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 1: all the former Yugoslavs probably all do a little when

82
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,679
Speaker 1: they want to get rid of something special. Yeah. Yeah,

83
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 1: I've been there before as a Greek as well. I've

84
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,359
Speaker 1: been spin on many times. It's a superstition as well. Anyway,

85
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:25,479
Speaker 1: the point is he came in and was amazing, and

86
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 1: like you said, he did not complain at all. In fact,

87
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 1: when he made a bad pass to Josh Green in

88
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 1: the corner. He said, that's my bad. When he got

89
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,840
Speaker 1: a foul, he said, that's my that's my no complaining

90
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 1: at all, and he came He came in and it

91
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 1: looked awesome. There was that one play where it looked

92
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 1: like he got fouled by a three point line. He

93
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 1: had a one hand on the ball and put it

94
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 1: up and hit it. It was like a trick shot.

95
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 1: And then he went to the one side of the

96
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,719
Speaker 1: floor and made like a hook shot pass to the

97
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:51,279
Speaker 1: other side of the floor. He did a give and

98
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 1: goal with Kyrie, gave it to him, got it back

99
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 1: through an alleube. He threw it like a seventy foot allue.

100
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:57,839
Speaker 3: Oh, that was sick.

101
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 1: From one side. He was good everywhere. Seven of eleven

102
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 1: on twos, five of eleven on threes, didn't have to

103
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:07,159
Speaker 1: shoot too many free throws, just got through the free

104
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:11,840
Speaker 1: throw line three times. Everything was so good from this

105
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 1: guy on both and then he blocked Shay with a

106
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 1: minute left. Yep and looked at him, obviously because those

107
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 1: guys have a rivalry. But Luca, one of the best

108
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 1: in the game, just played like one of the best

109
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 1: of the game.

110
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 2: Finally, Yep, thirty one points, eleven assists, ten boards and

111
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,600
Speaker 2: almost zero complaints. It's honestly zero, and they kept bringing

112
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 2: up on the broadcast, but it was fair to bring

113
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 2: it up. You said that one where he did get

114
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,480
Speaker 2: feld and he hit the circus shot. He turned around

115
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 2: for a st He turned around, he thought about it,

116
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:37,719
Speaker 2: but and then he just went right back. You could

117
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:39,479
Speaker 2: tell it was in his mind, like, Okay, I gotta

118
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 2: cut that crap out. It's having an effect on me

119
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:44,840
Speaker 2: and probably our team and obviously a good resulting Game

120
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 2: five here.

121
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,919
Speaker 4: Yeah, we all remember the lebron Stone face game against

122
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 4: the Celtics from way back when this was Luca's serious face. No,

123
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 4: I mean it was a little snelly face. He was

124
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 4: smiling at times. He was definitely still a little demonstrative,

125
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 4: but I thought he was incredible and this game afterwards

126
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 4: he said, sometimes I forget this is a thing I love,

127
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 4: don't we all?

128
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 3: Man?

129
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 4: You get lost in the sauce sometimes, and he definitely

130
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 4: did in game four. But he was locked in in

131
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 4: game five and the thunder really didn't have any answers

132
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:16,359
Speaker 4: for him. He threw four alley oops last night. It

133
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 4: was the dunk and Dallas Mavericks. They got nine dunks.

134
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 4: You mentioned the sixty five foot of Derek Jones Junior.

135
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 4: I loved the play where Derek Jones Junior blocks a

136
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:26,839
Speaker 4: chet holmgrind three pointer run out on the other end

137
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:28,279
Speaker 4: for a dunk there in the fourth quarter.

138
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 3: That was really nice.

139
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 4: I just thought, very good performance by the Mavericks after

140
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 4: the way they blew it in the fourth quarter. Dallas

141
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 4: has probably been the better team in this series, at

142
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:40,160
Speaker 4: least the last two games, probably since Game one, if

143
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:41,039
Speaker 4: we're being honest.

144
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 3: But they blew it in Game.

145
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 4: Four because they couldn't stop foling and they couldn't get

146
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 4: stops in the fourth quarter. And this one, the MAVs

147
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 4: never trailed after being down eight seven. They led the

148
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,280
Speaker 4: last forty four minutes of the game. And this is

149
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:54,839
Speaker 4: the fewest points that Oklahoma City has scored all season.

150
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:56,840
Speaker 4: Mavericks were good on both ends last night.

151
00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure. Derek Jones Junior sort of the secondary

152
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 2: in this one for Dallas. It had been PJ. Washington

153
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,159
Speaker 2: for a good chunk of this series. But this was

154
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 2: Derek Jones Junior's game playoff career. Hid nineteen points, He

155
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 2: had fifteen first half points. He was perfect six for six.

156
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 2: He had hit three threes. Now that's part of the

157
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 2: Thunders defensive game plan. Obviously, it's like we got at

158
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 2: least somebody open. We're gonna leave him. They had left Washington,

159
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 2: like I said before, but he took advantage. He had

160
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 2: the dunks. I mean, we know he's an athletic freak.

161
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 2: But for him to hit those three threes in the

162
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 2: first half and again stay perfect there through the first

163
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 2: twenty four minutes, that was they needed that. You know,

164
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 2: you always need somebody's got to help out the star.

165
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 2: We've seen it time and time again in this postseason

166
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:37,679
Speaker 2: where guys go for fifty or they have big games,

167
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 2: the superstars, but you need somebody else to chip in.

168
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 2: And okay, see didn't get it last night, Shaye, I

169
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 2: thought was pretty damn good. Nobody jumped on board. Nobody

170
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 2: really helped him out in the scoring department. But Derek

171
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 2: Jones Junior was a huge part for the mass.

172
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 1: Yeah hopefully, okay, see he gets Jalen Williams to be

173
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 1: Jaylen Williams the next game. But he's had a couple

174
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 1: of bad games in a row in terms of score.

175
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 1: But Derek Joe Junior clearly was PJ Washington In this game,

176
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 1: he took over that role. He had ten points in

177
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 1: the first quarter. He hit his first six shots. As

178
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 1: you said, he hit another shot that wasn't included, that

179
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 1: wasn't counted because there was another foul going on in

180
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 1: the play and nineteen overall is a lot. And as

181
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 1: you mentioned Trey, the one that really sealed it was

182
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 1: a block on chet Holmgren at the three point line

183
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 1: with two minutes left. That was nice to get out

184
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 1: there and then just sprint and then Luca found him

185
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 1: for an lup and there you go. That was basically

186
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 1: the game. It was awesome. They had to leave him open.

187
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:35,320
Speaker 1: And on the other side, Dallas left lou Door open

188
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:37,840
Speaker 1: and that didn't work out for loud Door. He can

189
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:40,559
Speaker 1: he's They've been doing it the whole series. Sometimes he

190
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 1: hit threes, sometimes he doesn't, and okay, so he just

191
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:46,319
Speaker 1: couldn't hit threes in this game. That was obviously a problem.

192
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 2: They were abysmal from deep. They shot twenty five percent

193
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:53,680
Speaker 2: from three on forty attempts. And look credit to the MAVs,

194
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 2: like a lot of guys like sprint out to that

195
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 2: line and you saw a lot of those attempts, and

196
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 2: now some of them were open, and they probably should

197
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:01,440
Speaker 2: have hit some of them, and maybe they will in

198
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 2: Game six, but like enough that they run out and

199
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 2: then the guy's got to put the ball on the ground,

200
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:07,560
Speaker 2: sort of a move over to a side, and then

201
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 2: maybe they're a little less out of rhythm there and

202
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 2: they were missing them. But yeah, nobody could hit Isaiah

203
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:14,320
Speaker 2: Joe started, Trey. You've been calling for it, wondering at

204
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 2: least if they would take Gideo to the starting lineup.

205
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:19,440
Speaker 2: Dagnelt did Isaia Jo did not really come through.

206
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, too wrong.

207
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 4: Got to start, Yeah, Cason Wallace been saying it since December.

208
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:25,600
Speaker 4: The guy should start. He's a better player on both

209
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 4: ends than Isaiah Joe. But the space was there for Shay.

210
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 4: He got the dunk right away in the first quarter.

211
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:33,559
Speaker 4: Isaiah Joe got a look and then made his first

212
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 4: three and they mas like his next six, I think,

213
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,959
Speaker 4: before finally hitting one a little bit later. But Dallas

214
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 4: is just packing the paint on SGA. They're at the

215
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 4: boxes and elbows every time. Shay, we'll get to the

216
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 4: mid range. He can hit some shots, but Dallas did

217
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 4: a good job of defending without fouling. Not a ton

218
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:50,320
Speaker 4: of free throws for Shay last night. I thought Jalen

219
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,079
Speaker 4: Williams did a good job driving the ball, but he

220
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 4: wants to drive the ball every time he catches it.

221
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:56,440
Speaker 3: He's not really a catching suit player.

222
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:58,839
Speaker 4: If he does shoot it off the catch, it's off

223
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:00,559
Speaker 4: a pump fake and a step to the So that's

224
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:02,560
Speaker 4: the thing with Dallas. They can pack the paint because

225
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 4: they're not worried about anybody else shooting. Chat Holmgren's not

226
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:07,720
Speaker 4: shooting the ball very well, very slow release. Lou Dort

227
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 4: takes forever to shoot threes as well, so they can

228
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 4: just wait in the lane and try and challenge. Obviously,

229
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 4: the Mavericks or sorry the Thunder weren't able to make

230
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 4: Dallas pay ten for forty. Then the other big concern

231
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 4: that Okac had coming into the playoffs was rebounding, and

232
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:25,200
Speaker 4: they got crushed on the glass forty six to thirty three.

233
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 4: It was twelve to five and second chance points for

234
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 4: the Mavericks. I also thought Gafford Lively and then PJ.

235
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 4: Washington and Derek Jones Junior as like the bigger forwards,

236
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 4: they were monstrous inside.

237
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 3: They completely shut down the paint for ok See.

238
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:40,840
Speaker 1: Oh they were huge, Yeah, they were. And that's what

239
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:43,959
Speaker 1: okay See will be looking for in the offseason. Somebody

240
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:47,320
Speaker 1: big to play beside Chet, just a large person because

241
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 1: the other Jalen Williams probably makes the most sense in

242
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 1: terms of height off the bench, but Case Wallace is awesome.

243
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:59,200
Speaker 1: Isaiah Joe obviously spreads the floor. So they're looking for somebody, anybody,

244
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 1: and Josh Giddy ain't that guy. I wonder if he

245
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 1: goes into his offseason changes his shot for him, because

246
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:08,079
Speaker 1: it's he starts with the ball is shooting him on

247
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:09,839
Speaker 1: the outside and then it curves in and it just

248
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 1: ain't pretty. But that would have to be a new,

249
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 1: entirely new shot form and he will. Obviously he hit

250
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 1: shots in this game, as he does, but he wasn't

251
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 1: super aggressive in this game. And you're right, both Lively

252
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 1: and Gefford, we're so good at just blocking off the paint.

253
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 1: The guy on the perimeter has to get in front

254
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 1: of Shae or get in front of whoever Jalen Williams,

255
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:34,560
Speaker 1: and then the guy behind him is ready, all very

256
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 1: very ready, and then the passes go out to the

257
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 1: shooters and it just wasn't wasn't shooting. It wasn't happening

258
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 1: out there.

259
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:44,080
Speaker 2: Jay Dubb the wing, Jalen Williams. He missed all three

260
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 2: of his threes, and he has not scored more than

261
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:49,680
Speaker 2: twenty points in any game in this series. He finished

262
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 2: with twelve in Game five, very quiet twelve. This is

263
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 2: a guy that shot really well from three in the

264
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:56,439
Speaker 2: regular season. I think it was like forty two percent.

265
00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:59,840
Speaker 2: They need Shae in the Thunder, need him to have

266
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,560
Speaker 2: a big game six, I think for them to obviously

267
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:03,959
Speaker 2: try and extend this to seven.

268
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 1: Now.

269
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:05,680
Speaker 2: He was a little banged up, I know at times

270
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:08,440
Speaker 2: in the series two, but yeah, he's got a somebody's

271
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 2: got to be the secondary guy here because Shay, what

272
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:15,080
Speaker 2: thirty points. I mean, he did it all. It wasn't incredible,

273
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 2: but he was getting a little bit more of the

274
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 2: rim at times because things had opened up there with

275
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 2: Isaiah Joe. But he did his part. Nobody else helped out.

276
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 2: But the mass man they have they were right, Tray,

277
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 2: you said it. They've completely outplayed them over the course

278
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 2: of this series, and that's why they have a three

279
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 2: two lead here. But the six lob dunks, I mean,

280
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 2: those are demoralizing too. Like, especially when you're throwing from

281
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:37,680
Speaker 2: seventy feet and you can't even see that one camrangle

282
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:39,720
Speaker 2: where you can't even see I guess was it Lively

283
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 2: on that one? Yeah, we're like, who's he throwing it to?

284
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:44,600
Speaker 2: Suddenly he comes screaming in. Yeah, Luca was just on

285
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 2: one last night. Felt good. I thought he was more aggressive.

286
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 2: We had talked about that, like he did it once.

287
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 2: There was one time where they had the high pick

288
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:52,679
Speaker 2: and roll and then he was waiting for Dort to

289
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:54,320
Speaker 2: catch up. You're like, what are you doing? But a

290
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 2: lot of the other times there it was just sort

291
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:58,560
Speaker 2: of him, you know, less even getting a screen there.

292
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 2: It was just letting him operate. And when he's got

293
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 2: the three going, he's just become so dangerous with that

294
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 2: little step to the side left and he was banging

295
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 2: that home. Awesome game from Luca. We'll see. Do you

296
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:09,680
Speaker 2: like the chances of okay, see to get this to

297
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:12,960
Speaker 2: seven or do you think Dallas takes care of business

298
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 2: there on Saturday? This game's on Saturday.

299
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:20,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, who knows. I would like to see a supporter,

300
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 1: as you said for Shay, who was awesome. You know,

301
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 1: he was going into the bigs there was that lefty

302
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:26,559
Speaker 1: finish on Gafford, who's doing as much as he could,

303
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 1: but somebody to splash from shots. Really, lou Dort was

304
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:36,960
Speaker 1: is free to shoot and that is clear. And the airballs.

305
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 1: I don't know if that rolls into game six, but

306
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:41,439
Speaker 1: he shot an air ball late in this game a

307
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 1: couple of minutes left.

308
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 3: Yes, was about three feet short.

309
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 1: It was very short, very Dort short. Yeah, Dort, good

310
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 1: one because they're clearly leaving. They were leaving two starters

311
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 1: open in lou Dort and Josh Katy, and they can't

312
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 1: leave Isaia Joepen. So this guy, if it's the same lineup,

313
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 1: he's going to continue to have a wide open three

314
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 1: point shot. That's what killed him. Killed him at the end.

315
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 1: And even Mark Dagnat said, we got to go to

316
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:13,160
Speaker 1: the hack of Ively as they tried before earlier in

317
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 1: this series. He hit both Lively looking good out there

318
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:18,840
Speaker 1: and the one time they hacked him. And I said,

319
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 1: what is the best term the word too if if

320
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 1: a guy is able to go to the line after

321
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 1: a hacker and and do it. Some great suggestions from

322
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 1: our fans crack a hack hack attack best one. I

323
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 1: think no hackbacks so.

324
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 2: The idea the term for you, you try the hack

325
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 2: of strategy, but it doesn't work in backfires.

326
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, the guy who overcomes it. No hack backs

327
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 1: from Michael Ive and that was a nice one. That

328
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 1: was a nice that's good. And then yeah, don't black

329
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 1: shot blocked blacks Now that doesn't work. Nobody blocked it

330
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 1: right after that. Yeah, I was, I was trying to

331
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 1: get a hack anyways, but the block against Shade this game,

332
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 1: they did just poorly for okay, see with the air

333
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 1: ball and then Lively went to the line and then

334
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 1: the Dotch block. So it just feels like, now we're

335
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 1: getting close to the semifinals here, where Tatum's making his way,

336
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 1: Jokic is making his way, maybe a brunt send, and

337
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 1: then maybe you know, it's Luca Orshe in the fourth one.

338
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 1: So we've got four of the best here going towards

339
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 1: the semifinals, which is fun.

340
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 2: Yokich versus Luca could be very fun Western Conference Finals,

341
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 2: But we still got these series going on here. You

342
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 2: never know if we get some game sevens and then

343
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 2: it's anything can happen situation. Any other thoughts on this one?

344
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:35,320
Speaker 4: TK Kyrie Irving only had twelve points, but I did

345
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 4: feel like he was a little bit more aggressive looking

346
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 4: for his shot. He passed up an easy floater he

347
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 4: could have had in the fourth quarter to try and

348
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 4: throw an oop two. I believe it was Lively. Lively

349
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 4: was covered, could have been a shot by Kyrie, but

350
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 4: I thought he was more in scoring mode than just

351
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 4: distribution mode. But one thing I didn't see coming Jaden

352
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 4: Hardy minutes. Yeah, I played fifteen minutes last night. Didn't

353
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 4: play terribly. He only scored two points, took five shots,

354
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 4: one for you know he's gonna get it up. But basically,

355
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 4: the Mavericks needed another ball handler to play alongside Kyrie Irving,

356
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 4: Tim Hardaway, Junior as and a guy who puts the

357
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 4: ball on the floor make plays.

358
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 3: So when they're.

359
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 4: Doubling Kyrie, he's able to get the ball and it

360
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 4: ends up in Jayden Hardy's hands and he'll try and

361
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 4: make something happen.

362
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 3: I thought he at least gave him a tiny bit

363
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 3: of a boost.

364
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, they said, Dante xem you're out of the lineup.

365
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 1: Jane Hardy, you're in the ge League ignite graduate and

366
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 1: he set up both bigs set to set. He gave

367
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 1: Lively one. He gave Gafford one and then Jason Kidd

368
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 1: playing with the Kyrie Jade Hardy Tim Hardaway lineup the

369
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:37,960
Speaker 1: trio there. That's questionable and it didn't work out, but

370
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 1: they yanked it. They said no, and it didn't work

371
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 1: during the regular season either, But yeah, he was out there.

372
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 1: It didn't always work out, but he was that. He

373
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 1: was a handler who could penetrate and the passes were

374
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:52,920
Speaker 1: good again setting up both bigs at Gafford in the

375
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 1: first and then Lively in the second, those big.

376
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 3: It gave the team a little boost.

377
00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 2: I sometimes think that has an effect on the other

378
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:00,960
Speaker 2: guys on the bench or the entire roster, where this

379
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 2: guy that's out of the rotation isn't playing all that much,

380
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:06,239
Speaker 2: especially a young guy gets an opportunity, even if it's

381
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:08,920
Speaker 2: a small one, plays hard, you know, gets a big play,

382
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 2: good assist here there, and it sort of it gets

383
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 2: everyone going a little bit more And definitely worked for Kid.

384
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:14,520
Speaker 3: I wasn't expecting it.

385
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:18,720
Speaker 2: Whoa wet's see how this goes, But yeah, he played

386
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 2: fifteen in the end, did he wow?

387
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:20,200
Speaker 3: Yeah?

388
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:23,360
Speaker 1: For him.

389
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 4: I also thought you mentioned the lou Dort miss Tim

390
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:29,200
Speaker 4: Hardaway Junior had a pretty ugly possession in the first half.

391
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:31,640
Speaker 4: Didn't shoot an air ball in his first three point

392
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:34,920
Speaker 4: attempt because it hit above the square on the glass.

393
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 4: Somehow Dallas gets the offensive rebound because nobody's anticipating the

394
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:42,760
Speaker 4: ball ricocheting that high off the glass, gets another look

395
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 4: and he does airball, this one from the corner.

396
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:45,879
Speaker 3: That was pretty ugly.

397
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 4: But then guess what next time he touched the ball,

398
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 4: shot it and a swish.

399
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 1: Yeah.

400
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:51,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was having flashbacks to our Tuesday night pickup

401
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,200
Speaker 2: run where that one guy shot the ball at the

402
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 2: top of the backboard. You somehow got it. It's like,

403
00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 2: oh my god. It was one of those nights where

404
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:00,639
Speaker 2: the ball was not belting by teams away. It was

405
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:02,919
Speaker 2: very frustrating. Maybe okay, see felt the same, but that

406
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 2: was Yeah. We had some crazy shot attempts in this game. Yeah,

407
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 2: name misses, but these teams are playing hard. I love

408
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 2: this series. I hope we get a seven game series

409
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 2: because I just love watching these two teams compete. Yeah,

410
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:17,240
Speaker 2: and I can't wait to see if if they stick

411
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:18,960
Speaker 2: with Isaiah Joe, do you go back to Giddy?

412
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 3: Do you try Wallace?

413
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 2: Do you even try Wiggins? Like what will what will

414
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:24,919
Speaker 2: they do here in a must win situation in Dallas

415
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 2: on Saturday.

416
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:28,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, obviously, the Minnesota Timberwolves were an incredible defense to

417
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 1: start Round two against the Denver Nuggets. But I think

418
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:32,960
Speaker 1: this has been the best defensive series in Round two,

419
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:36,359
Speaker 1: both teams teams going at it because the scores are

420
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:38,120
Speaker 1: very low on both teams. So I don't think it's

421
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:42,480
Speaker 1: just bad offense. I think it's just incredible playing hard. Yeah,

422
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:45,880
Speaker 1: the MAVs play hard from the corners. They just everybody.

423
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:49,160
Speaker 1: Josh Green is flying in for offensive rebounds. PJ. Washington,

424
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:52,080
Speaker 1: who was captain corner in Game four. There's got to

425
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:55,200
Speaker 1: be some sort of nicknames. Iron Eagle gave PJ. Washington

426
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:57,480
Speaker 1: the captain corner. But these guys, all of them are

427
00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:01,880
Speaker 1: all captain corners. There's a MAVs corners think something there anyway?

428
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 3: Corner?

429
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:06,280
Speaker 2: Well, you know, the Chevy Tracks takes corners exceptionally well,

430
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 2: said no one ever.

431
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:12,879
Speaker 4: Motor Trend one of the finest handle laden crossover vehicles

432
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:15,640
Speaker 4: I heard three years running.

433
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:17,399
Speaker 3: Anything else on this series.

434
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 2: Here, We'll just wait for Saturday see if Shay and

435
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 2: really I do believe Jadub can give us a game seven.

436
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:24,600
Speaker 2: They're gonna have to be pretty special there because this

437
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:27,919
Speaker 2: Dallas Mavericks defense is locked in and Luca, you know,

438
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,400
Speaker 2: if he doesn't complain again, plays with a smile.

439
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:31,679
Speaker 3: He's dangerous.

440
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:35,480
Speaker 2: It really worked all right the first game last night,

441
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:38,720
Speaker 2: Tatum scored twenty five. The real story is probably Al Horford,

442
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:40,920
Speaker 2: which I know we'll talk about. But the Celtics beat

443
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 2: the Calves one, thirteen to ninety eight. They are into

444
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:50,160
Speaker 2: their third consecutive Eastern Conference Finals. Now the Calves extremely shorthanded.

445
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:53,160
Speaker 2: Still no Donovan Mitchell in this game. Has he played

446
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 2: his last game with the Calves. It's very possible. No

447
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 2: Jared Allen once again. That's what eight straight games he

448
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:01,360
Speaker 2: missed with that rib injury. And then no Carousel vert either.

449
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 2: They put up a fight once again. They were in

450
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 2: it for a good three quarters and change. But Celtics

451
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:11,200
Speaker 2: a little too much, and like I said, Al Horford

452
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:14,360
Speaker 2: was was the start. Twenty two points, fifteen boards, five

453
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:18,160
Speaker 2: assists and six threes from the thirty eight year old,

454
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 2: well almost thirty eight year old Al Horford.

455
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:23,960
Speaker 1: A week away, yeah, oh no, no, no, seventeen days Okay,

456
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:26,159
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm looking at something here which tells me

457
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:27,000
Speaker 1: it's seventeen days.

458
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:29,480
Speaker 4: Interesting, so he might get to celebrate during the NBA

459
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 4: Finals very much.

460
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 3: Yes, wow, that could be a big week for Al Horford,

461
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:36,639
Speaker 3: a birthday and perhaps an NBA championship. I think it

462
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:37,360
Speaker 3: makes you think.

463
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:40,359
Speaker 1: I think it's before just before the finals would start

464
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:40,679
Speaker 1: this year.

465
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 3: Okay, final start June sixth.

466
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:47,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, hold on, let's get the date. It's June thirty. Wow.

467
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:48,919
Speaker 3: I don't know.

468
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:51,359
Speaker 4: I remember when Chris Paul had a birthday late in

469
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:53,879
Speaker 4: the season. He was like, awesome, and then he turned whatever,

470
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 4: thirty eight or thirty nine, and then he completely fell off.

471
00:20:57,600 --> 00:20:58,440
Speaker 3: So be careful.

472
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, this is weird because I thought at the beginning

473
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:03,399
Speaker 4: of the game, too much Al Horford, and then at

474
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:05,720
Speaker 4: the end of the game perfect amount of Al. In

475
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:08,960
Speaker 4: the second quarter, there were five possessions that the Celtics had,

476
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 4: and four of them ended an Al Horford three pointer.

477
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 4: He was one for four and I was like, uh,

478
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:17,639
Speaker 4: why are so many possessions ending with Al Horford here?

479
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:20,360
Speaker 4: But then in the fourth eight points, nine rebounds, four

480
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 4: of those offensive, and then two assists as well. He

481
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 4: made so many hustle plays that the save he had

482
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 4: in the corner in the first half.

483
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 3: Made the condensed highlights of the NBA dot Com place

484
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:31,400
Speaker 3: of this game.

485
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 4: Guys say to the ball in the corner and they're like, hey,

486
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 4: we got to keep this one day because look at

487
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:37,200
Speaker 4: him running around out there.

488
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:39,200
Speaker 3: It was awesome though. It was really good.

489
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 4: I thought the Celtics in general had a pretty good

490
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:44,120
Speaker 4: game plan coming into this one, because we knew Cleveland

491
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 4: wanted to take as many three pointers as possible, so

492
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:49,160
Speaker 4: the Celtics just ran them off the line the entire night.

493
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:53,440
Speaker 4: Only thirty one total attempts from three for Cleveland. Twelve

494
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:55,919
Speaker 4: of those came in the second half. Boston made nineteen threes.

495
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 4: That's basically the game right there. On the other end,

496
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:01,480
Speaker 4: they put Darius Garland into action almost every single time.

497
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 4: They would either force a help on the pick and roll,

498
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:05,879
Speaker 4: whether it's a double, or they would beat him off

499
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:08,880
Speaker 4: the dribble, get into the lane, draw help, zip, zap zop.

500
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:11,359
Speaker 4: It's either an easy layup or an easy three pointer.

501
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:14,399
Speaker 4: Celtics played math game. They have thirty two assists on

502
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:17,159
Speaker 4: forty two makes outside of Marcus Morris cooking for the

503
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:17,680
Speaker 4: first half.

504
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:19,640
Speaker 3: Well, it was pretty sweet. The Celtics.

505
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, Morris Senior. There were twenty five points. I couldn't

506
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:23,960
Speaker 2: miss them for a stretch of this game.

507
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:26,480
Speaker 1: Yeah. I took a screen grab of the stat for

508
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 1: Al Horford at the end of this game. It was

509
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:32,439
Speaker 1: oldest in playoff history with fifteen plus points, five plus

510
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 1: three pointers made, and ten plus rebounds at thirty seven

511
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:39,200
Speaker 1: years and three hundred and forty seven days. That's why

512
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 1: I knew it was eighteen days now, seventeen days away

513
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 1: from the old Man's thirty eighth birthday. Congrats to Al

514
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 1: and Tito in front row. Yeah, he had the credential,

515
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:50,679
Speaker 1: had the credential on to pass on to get him

516
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 1: into the.

517
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:52,240
Speaker 3: Even the good seats.

518
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, usually courts. No, yeah, yeah, yeah, get him there.

519
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:57,640
Speaker 2: They knew he was gonna They knew Al was gonna

520
00:22:57,640 --> 00:22:59,479
Speaker 2: ball out tonight. Yeah, close out the series.

521
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 1: It's awesome for Boston because Kristaps can take as much

522
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:04,680
Speaker 1: time as he wants and he is back on the floor.

523
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 1: He is training, and Al Horford in there to be

524
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 1: the best version of himself this year. Obviously.

525
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:13,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's true. There's no promise Porzingis is ready to

526
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 2: start the Eastern Conference Finals, right, We don't know that

527
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:19,360
Speaker 2: and I guess people that did see him warm up,

528
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:22,200
Speaker 2: maybe it was before Game four Porzingis I'm talking about,

529
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 2: they said he looked slow. It wasn't like he was

530
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 2: moving at one hundred percent. So we'll see. But they

531
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:28,719
Speaker 2: obviously took care of business. That's the other part. They

532
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:30,760
Speaker 2: also nobody else got injured. I mean, that was a

533
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 2: good game plan, just get through these series without any

534
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:36,960
Speaker 2: other injuries of note to your star players. And yeah,

535
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:39,240
Speaker 2: kudos to the Calves. Again, they put up a fight here,

536
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 2: you know, And maybe that's the Celtics not taking in

537
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:43,600
Speaker 2: all that serious for thirty six minutes or so. But

538
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:47,400
Speaker 2: this was eighty eight eighty five early in the fourth quarter,

539
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 2: and I'm going, I'm sure a lot of people are going,

540
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:52,040
Speaker 2: oh my god, Boston, are you kidding me? You're gonna

541
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:54,320
Speaker 2: make this go six? Or going back to Cleveland? What

542
00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 2: are you doing? You're playing with your food. But then

543
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:58,240
Speaker 2: they went on that thirteen to two run to control

544
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:00,879
Speaker 2: of the game, and yeah, they move on to another

545
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:04,879
Speaker 2: Eastern Conference Finals. This will be Jellen Brown's sixth Eastern

546
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:10,439
Speaker 2: Conference Finals appearance, Tatum's fifth. Pretty incredible really when you

547
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:12,879
Speaker 2: think about a league now that there is quite a

548
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 2: bit of parody for them to just be this good,

549
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 2: this consistently. They just got to win the big one,

550
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 2: which is what Draymond Green was talking about with Tatum

551
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:22,199
Speaker 2: after the game. Hey, nobody cares some truth to it.

552
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:24,880
Speaker 2: There's some truth to episode. But we'll see here who

553
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:26,439
Speaker 2: now they play either than Knicks or Pacers.

554
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:28,360
Speaker 1: It's great to see Evan Mobley have his best game

555
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:32,120
Speaker 1: of the playoffs and have a best second time through

556
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:34,680
Speaker 1: the playoffs. Then last year wasn't all that good, and

557
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 1: Evan Mobley was. He was just good in this game

558
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:40,399
Speaker 1: where he was on every sort of dive to the hoop.

559
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:43,360
Speaker 1: He was getting the pass off the ball, pick and

560
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:46,440
Speaker 1: dive to the hoop. Blocked Tatum on the first possession,

561
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 1: and Tatum went at him later on and got him

562
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:50,159
Speaker 1: on his heels a little bit, but he went and

563
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:53,480
Speaker 1: scored on Tatum as well. He had a beautiful spin

564
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:56,399
Speaker 1: hit a lefty hook over Luke Cornett. It was Mobley

565
00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:59,400
Speaker 1: versus Cornet at times in this game, and Mobili won.

566
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,440
Speaker 1: But it's you know, we can get into we will

567
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:07,159
Speaker 1: the Cleveland offseason story. But there's a lot of questions

568
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:10,080
Speaker 1: just in terms of how much duplication they have in

569
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:12,879
Speaker 1: their positions with Mobley and Allen, and then you mentioned

570
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:15,240
Speaker 1: Garland and Mitchell because on the defensive end, that's a

571
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:16,960
Speaker 1: little scary for the Cavs going forward.

572
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:19,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, Mobley sort of appeared to thrive as the center

573
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:22,159
Speaker 2: in this series. You know, he played better. This was

574
00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:24,520
Speaker 2: the one positive. He had thirty three career high playoff

575
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:24,920
Speaker 2: career high.

576
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:26,719
Speaker 4: That was a game plan though for the Celtics. They

577
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:29,119
Speaker 4: were trapping Darius Garland. They were doing anything to not

578
00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:32,840
Speaker 4: give up a three. So Mobley was running down right,

579
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 4: jad Am I right, Moger is cutting down the lane.

580
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 3: With nobody around him. They were like, we're going to

581
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:38,400
Speaker 3: give up that too.

582
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:40,680
Speaker 4: Every single time he took twenty four shots, it's Tima

583
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:42,919
Speaker 4: fey mosgoff in the finals. You know, that was the

584
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 4: game plan for the Celtics. But at least he performed.

585
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:45,480
Speaker 3: I'm with you.

586
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 4: He looked great in this playoffs and I think that

587
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:50,520
Speaker 4: that's encouraging going forward for the Cavs because they.

588
00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:54,040
Speaker 3: Only need one of those big absolutely, So.

589
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 2: Let's talk about it. Obviously, the article is already out

590
00:25:56,640 --> 00:26:00,040
Speaker 2: there on the Athletic Shan's and friends writing about you

591
00:25:59,920 --> 00:26:03,560
Speaker 2: know what happens this offseason with Donovan Mitchell, with JB.

592
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:08,679
Speaker 2: Bickerstaff and this Cleveland Cavaliers team. Do you you know

593
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:11,000
Speaker 2: Mitchell is eligible to sign a contract extension, but he

594
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 2: has not given any indication that he's eager to stay

595
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:17,479
Speaker 2: or leave if we're being honest, if he doesn't extend

596
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:21,600
Speaker 2: this offseason, though, Cleveland practically would have no choice but

597
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:23,399
Speaker 2: to trade him. I think if he doesn't sign the

598
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:26,119
Speaker 2: extension and then you get into the whole Allen and

599
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:29,040
Speaker 2: Mobile duplication thing there, what do you think, TK? I mean,

600
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:32,560
Speaker 2: you're on record thinking Mitchell is probably going to be moved.

601
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:35,640
Speaker 2: You still believe that? I assume after we saw them

602
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:35,879
Speaker 2: go out.

603
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:39,160
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, I mean, maybe it takes another season. Maybe

604
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:40,879
Speaker 4: he does sign this four year, two hundred and eight

605
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:42,359
Speaker 4: million dollar deal and then asks out.

606
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:44,160
Speaker 3: We've seen that kind of thing happen. But I think

607
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 3: it's gonna end.

608
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 4: I think we've already seen Mitchell's last game as a

609
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 4: Cavalier because he said it's about winning for me, not

610
00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:52,560
Speaker 4: about winning one round. Literally, he said that after the

611
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:55,600
Speaker 4: Cavs tanked to get a first round matchup favorable to them,

612
00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:58,640
Speaker 4: it went seven games they won. They've improved since he's

613
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:00,520
Speaker 4: been there. They made it to the playoff last year,

614
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:02,680
Speaker 4: looked bad, made it to the playoffs this year one,

615
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:06,879
Speaker 4: but weren't close at all to a Celtics team that is,

616
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:08,960
Speaker 4: you know, kind of the standard in the Eastern Conference

617
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:09,520
Speaker 4: right now.

618
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:11,080
Speaker 3: So I don't know.

619
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:13,679
Speaker 4: I think it's more likely that Mitchell leaves and Garland

620
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:17,199
Speaker 4: sticks around, though in the Sham's article basically Darius Garland

621
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:20,200
Speaker 4: and his reputation is saying it's him or me, So.

622
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:20,879
Speaker 1: I don't know.

623
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:23,200
Speaker 3: I think it'll probably be Garland sticking in Cleveland.

624
00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:26,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I never buy into these articles very much,

625
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:30,119
Speaker 1: which were bang on each single time with Frank Vogel

626
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:34,920
Speaker 1: being fired and Darvin Ham being fired. Yeah, they both

627
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:38,359
Speaker 1: worked and in this JB. Brickerstaff situation definitely different than

628
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 1: those who had a far shorter ten years as coaches there,

629
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:45,000
Speaker 1: with Darvin Ham had two years, Frank Bogel had one year.

630
00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:48,640
Speaker 1: Bickerstaff has had a five and a half year run here.

631
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:52,439
Speaker 1: So that to me would be the step to trying

632
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:56,040
Speaker 1: to get Garland and Mitchell work together for a full season,

633
00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:58,199
Speaker 1: because it obviously didn't even work in the regular It

634
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:01,880
Speaker 1: wasn't ideal in the regular season. They thrived around Mitchell

635
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:06,200
Speaker 1: and three shooters right there and Allen at center. And

636
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:09,400
Speaker 1: the puzzle is, yeah, those two guys, the two guys

637
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:12,840
Speaker 1: in the back court and Garland, Mitchell can get attacked defensively,

638
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:16,160
Speaker 1: and Evian Mobley is just so damn good defensively. He's

639
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:19,040
Speaker 1: one of the best defenders in the league at the five.

640
00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:23,680
Speaker 1: That's what he should be playing. And he is literally

641
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:27,520
Speaker 1: a very similar player to Jared Allen because they both

642
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:29,960
Speaker 1: don't shoot threes. I know he did get Mobley did

643
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:32,160
Speaker 1: get better percentage wise this year in threes, but it's

644
00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:36,200
Speaker 1: just not part of his game. So that's the interesting part.

645
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:38,400
Speaker 1: If you give up on Darius Garland, who's got a

646
00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:41,680
Speaker 1: very nice fifteen percent trade kicker, that's a lot of dough.

647
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:44,959
Speaker 1: So I don't know, this is a tough one. I

648
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:48,280
Speaker 1: do think the answer is, though, new coach, let's see

649
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:50,760
Speaker 1: if we can get it to work with our current

650
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 1: roster and give him one more year to see if

651
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:53,480
Speaker 1: it works.

652
00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:55,920
Speaker 2: They never even played together in the regular season. They

653
00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:58,520
Speaker 2: are four main guys. Mitchell, Allen, Garland, and Mobley played

654
00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:01,880
Speaker 2: twenty eight games together, four hundred minutes. They shared the court.

655
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 2: It wasn't like lights out when they were out there.

656
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:06,560
Speaker 2: But yeah, there was very little chance for us to

657
00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:09,480
Speaker 2: see this team with these four guys. League sources in

658
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:12,360
Speaker 2: that article briefed on the Cavaliers mindset told The Athletic

659
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:15,920
Speaker 2: that Bickerstaff's job is in serious jeopardy. It got the

660
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:18,400
Speaker 2: serious in front of the jeopardy there, and then two

661
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:20,720
Speaker 2: league sources said the team is likely to take some time,

662
00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:26,280
Speaker 2: multiple days to make a decision. You're right, JB. Bickerstaff

663
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:28,600
Speaker 2: is going to be fire tasks. I'm sorry, that's just

664
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:30,640
Speaker 2: the way it is. This is why we get these articles.

665
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:32,920
Speaker 2: These people are talking to people in the front offices.

666
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:36,120
Speaker 2: Happen with Phoenix and Vogel, happened with the Lakers in

667
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:38,720
Speaker 2: darvin Ham. And it's gonna unfortunately or fortunately, maybe it

668
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:40,720
Speaker 2: depends on what you think of him, it's gonna happen

669
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:43,000
Speaker 2: here with bicker Staff in the cast because he's out.

670
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:45,160
Speaker 2: He's even had a longer. That's gonna shocked me how

671
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:48,000
Speaker 2: long you've been there. It was like, no, he's been

672
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:48,840
Speaker 2: there that long.

673
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:52,440
Speaker 1: Bee line had to take the B line out of there. Yeah,

674
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:55,480
Speaker 1: and this one is it's got more legitimacy to me

675
00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:58,160
Speaker 1: than the first two because the hey, one year fired,

676
00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:03,240
Speaker 1: two years fired, I mean the Lakers situation specifically in

677
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:06,560
Speaker 1: orbits around Lebron and in the Sun situation. That was

678
00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:09,760
Speaker 1: even weirder to me. How Vogel just got one year

679
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:13,680
Speaker 1: and Matt Eshba said we need somebody and so they

680
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:17,000
Speaker 1: found somebody else and Boondolzer. This one makes a little

681
00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:21,000
Speaker 1: bit more logical sense. And the great part about these

682
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:24,640
Speaker 1: articles is the tidbits throughout the store, throughout the season.

683
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:27,360
Speaker 1: The season's a little little juicy bits.

684
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:29,560
Speaker 3: It's always about a game in December.

685
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:33,760
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, always, it's always about a specific moment a game.

686
00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:36,520
Speaker 4: Absolutely, we're a team or a player with the Sons.

687
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 4: It was Frank Vogel yelling at them and they're yell

688
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:42,440
Speaker 4: at us, Yeah, yelling. I believe every one of these

689
00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:44,680
Speaker 4: and they're all true and JB. Bicker stuff is going

690
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 4: to be done.

691
00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:45,560
Speaker 1: With the Caves.

692
00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:48,240
Speaker 4: You guys are right, you know they have. It's weird

693
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:50,800
Speaker 4: because I do feel like the Calves have been getting

694
00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:53,360
Speaker 4: better and better going farther and farther. Right, they were

695
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:54,800
Speaker 4: in the play and then they were in the playoffs,

696
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 4: then they won a playoff series, but also every second

697
00:30:57,160 --> 00:30:59,480
Speaker 4: half of the season they're way worse. Also, when they

698
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:01,760
Speaker 4: play therefore the best players together, it doesn't work all

699
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:04,800
Speaker 4: that well. It's easier to change the coach. And then yeah,

700
00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:06,600
Speaker 4: you mentioned that he lost the locker room, and this

701
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:09,880
Speaker 4: is in December. It's five months later, so I think

702
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:12,160
Speaker 4: he's gone. And then I did not like reading about

703
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:15,080
Speaker 4: Jared Allen in this one. I'll say, Yeah, they're basically

704
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:17,560
Speaker 4: like this guy soft. That's what he's read to to me,

705
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:19,479
Speaker 4: he wouldn't take an injection so he would go out

706
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:21,000
Speaker 4: and play in the playoffs.

707
00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:23,600
Speaker 2: Yep, that's in that article. Go read it.

708
00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:25,840
Speaker 4: And that to me, you know, with the way last

709
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:27,840
Speaker 4: year went when he literally said the lights were too bright,

710
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:30,080
Speaker 4: and then now they're basically calling him out as being

711
00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 4: a softy and not coming back to play through injury,

712
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:35,600
Speaker 4: I think he's done as a CAV. Because Mowgli was

713
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:37,800
Speaker 4: good as a center, even playing against a big team

714
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:40,280
Speaker 4: like the Magic in the first round. He went sixteen points,

715
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:43,040
Speaker 4: nine rebounds, two blocks, fifty five percent from the field,

716
00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:45,240
Speaker 4: did hit a couple of threes in the playoffs, but

717
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:49,160
Speaker 4: a pretty solid performance. But the Calves owe their draft

718
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:52,240
Speaker 4: picks from twenty twenty five to twenty twenty nine.

719
00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:53,160
Speaker 3: All of them go to the Jazz.

720
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:55,560
Speaker 4: They've got swaps in twenty six and twenty eight, So

721
00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:59,160
Speaker 4: I think probably makes sense to trade Jared Allen get

722
00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:01,960
Speaker 4: some of that draft caspital back because you're probably going

723
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 4: to be building a little bit here.

724
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:06,480
Speaker 2: I think in Cleveland, maybe the Pelicans as a valan

725
00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:10,080
Speaker 2: chounis sort of replacement. Sure, possibly, I know they's been

726
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:10,720
Speaker 2: linking off.

727
00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 3: I love Jared Allen Zion.

728
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:15,520
Speaker 1: I know, yeah, there's complications there, but the five's got

729
00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:18,160
Speaker 1: to stretch the floor. Jared Allen doesn't do that, so

730
00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 1: that that would be the complication. In New Orleans, every

731
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 1: team wants to do it, and that's why the Cavs

732
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:26,120
Speaker 1: should be doing it. They need to. Evan Mobley is

733
00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:28,600
Speaker 1: a better perimeter defender than Jared Allen. As good as

734
00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:31,120
Speaker 1: he is a defender, you see what Evan Mobley does

735
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:33,480
Speaker 1: to each and every perimeter defender and that's why he

736
00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:36,800
Speaker 1: was voted on an All Defensive team in just year

737
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:38,760
Speaker 1: two last year. This is just year three. So Jared

738
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:42,240
Speaker 1: Allen's an older dude, that's part of it. He's got

739
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:46,240
Speaker 1: a very very nice twenty million dollars per year contract

740
00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:49,120
Speaker 1: for these next two years. That's nice in today's NBA.

741
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:49,600
Speaker 1: That's her.

742
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:50,400
Speaker 3: That's it.

743
00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:52,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's your Vovich.

744
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:55,800
Speaker 3: They need some shooting, am I Right there?

745
00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:57,600
Speaker 4: You go like I was the worst high volume three

746
00:32:57,640 --> 00:32:58,920
Speaker 4: point shooter in the league.

747
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 3: A deal getting done?

748
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:06,320
Speaker 1: Here was the worst high volume three points? Yea, he was,

749
00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:10,920
Speaker 1: he would know. You don't need Yeah, what was the

750
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:14,040
Speaker 1: worst year? And his whole on that almost his whole career.

751
00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:15,560
Speaker 1: That's pretty bad. But Evan Mobile is.

752
00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:24,000
Speaker 4: Back then, Yes, I will be using that quick update.

753
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:27,680
Speaker 1: We need a quick update on our instigator draft prior

754
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:31,200
Speaker 1: to the playoffs. It's very very fun to give you

755
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:34,800
Speaker 1: the scoring system. This is how it works. A technical

756
00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:37,440
Speaker 1: foul will earn you one point. A flagrant one will

757
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:39,840
Speaker 1: also earn you one point. A flagrant to two points,

758
00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:42,840
Speaker 1: an ejection three points, a suspension five points. So we

759
00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:44,680
Speaker 1: did some drafting. We each got three players.

760
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:46,840
Speaker 2: What a fine did? We decide on one point for

761
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:49,680
Speaker 2: that because we did have.

762
00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:50,480
Speaker 3: Someone to get fined.

763
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:53,840
Speaker 1: Who got fined depends on the guy, depends on the situation.

764
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:55,719
Speaker 3: Rudy got fined Yeah for money?

765
00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:57,840
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Gobert is on this. Yeah, sure you can

766
00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:01,360
Speaker 1: take its point. I think it's I give Trey a

767
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:04,680
Speaker 1: point otherwise because he doesn't last. He doesn't have good scoring.

768
00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:10,560
Speaker 4: So I actually hated to see Luca keeping his cool yesterday. Yeah, right,

769
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:14,520
Speaker 4: is gonna be complaining all season log, which he has been.

770
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:18,840
Speaker 1: That's a last night. Yeah, we drafted three teams. Trey had, Doncic,

771
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:22,480
Speaker 1: Gobert and Wagner. Don't call me Wagner, but I did

772
00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:25,560
Speaker 1: for the title of his team d g W Dog's

773
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:29,120
Speaker 1: Gone Wild now has three points, two texts from Doncic

774
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:32,880
Speaker 1: and one fine point from Gobert. That's it. Wagner zero

775
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:35,439
Speaker 1: zero surprising.

776
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:36,719
Speaker 3: Yeah he got who did he get that?

777
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:39,360
Speaker 2: It was early? It was early in that it was

778
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:42,680
Speaker 2: in game one. He actually was living up to the

779
00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:46,200
Speaker 2: name and theater draft. He just didn't get penalized and

780
00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:47,239
Speaker 2: any scoring from us.

781
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:50,040
Speaker 1: So Trey is in third and the other two of

782
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:52,720
Speaker 1: us are tied for first as a matter of fact,

783
00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:58,319
Speaker 1: So Skeets had Beverly, Niang and Nurkic. Unfortunately, Skeets, those

784
00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:03,439
Speaker 1: guys are all go. The team's done, which is which

785
00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:06,080
Speaker 1: is odd because the name of your team was BNN,

786
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:11,320
Speaker 1: Beverly Niang, Nurkic all Business Business News Network. That's the

787
00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:13,720
Speaker 1: name of It Business News Network. He had seven points

788
00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:15,719
Speaker 1: because he had a Nang Tech, Beverly tech and a

789
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:18,160
Speaker 1: Beverly suspension for next season.

790
00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:21,720
Speaker 2: Yeah that was huge, which ever played his part man.

791
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:23,840
Speaker 1: Which is weird because he may not even be suspended

792
00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:25,239
Speaker 1: because he may not be back in the league, but

793
00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:27,600
Speaker 1: you never know, you never know he could be. So

794
00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:31,200
Speaker 1: you have seven, while my Tatum Portis and Edwards my

795
00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:34,360
Speaker 1: teapot exchange. We gotta spill some tea also has seven.

796
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:38,560
Speaker 1: We got tied last night because Tatum had a tech

797
00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:40,359
Speaker 1: against the cast. He had another tech against the cast.

798
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:43,160
Speaker 1: He had a flagrant against Karros la Verte as well,

799
00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:45,680
Speaker 1: so he said was a great pick man three pick

800
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:49,960
Speaker 1: three points to go along with Portois's four. Bobby was

801
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:53,520
Speaker 1: ejected once and Bobby had a tech with getting into

802
00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:54,520
Speaker 1: it with James Johnson.

803
00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:57,160
Speaker 2: We all did a pretty decent job dropping guys.

804
00:35:57,640 --> 00:35:58,279
Speaker 3: Get with these.

805
00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:01,080
Speaker 2: So you are in the driver's seat because you got Tatum,

806
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:01,960
Speaker 2: you got.

807
00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:04,360
Speaker 1: At least and Curly and Edwards Curling.

808
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:07,480
Speaker 2: Edwards will see if they can yeah, obviously continue their season,

809
00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:12,880
Speaker 2: but uh look, let's not count out Luca. Okay, Luca.

810
00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:15,120
Speaker 2: He would have to get really pushed to the edge

811
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:16,920
Speaker 2: look at it to basically throw a punch at somebody

812
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:19,600
Speaker 2: for you to like maybe to come back and win

813
00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:23,920
Speaker 2: this thing. Yeah, maybe you can't get well, you're you're

814
00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:26,680
Speaker 2: sitting pretty Tatum there obviously going to play four to

815
00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:29,680
Speaker 2: you know, four to fourteen games still left in them.

816
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:31,399
Speaker 2: You know he's going to get at least one more

817
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:35,040
Speaker 2: tech good stuff. Thank you for the update. You gotta

818
00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:36,680
Speaker 2: give me all that information. I'll make a I'll make

819
00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:37,200
Speaker 2: a graphic.

820
00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:40,200
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, I was thinking, man, yeah, gotta make a spreadsheet.

821
00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:43,040
Speaker 1: And I'm like maybe later. I don't know what we're

822
00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:45,720
Speaker 1: playing for or if the loser has to do something,

823
00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:50,000
Speaker 1: we get a winner gets something, you know, right, because

824
00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:51,800
Speaker 1: usually we do the pick a payoffs the loser.

825
00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:54,320
Speaker 2: The winner gets to watch the other two guys fight.

826
00:36:55,920 --> 00:37:01,640
Speaker 4: Cools them on Get Thettle say that.

827
00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:03,600
Speaker 2: Oh, by the way, well we're speaking of all this.

828
00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:07,239
Speaker 2: Did you see another I guess quick correction? And this

829
00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:09,560
Speaker 2: was was my doing. We all seem to agree with

830
00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:15,279
Speaker 2: it. It wasn't Alec books Hand that was pushing back. Who

831
00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:16,960
Speaker 2: was it again on the other team on the Pacers,

832
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:17,759
Speaker 2: Miles Turner was it?

833
00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:18,800
Speaker 1: No, it was Isaiah Jackson.

834
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:19,960
Speaker 2: Isaiah Jackson thank you.

835
00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:22,600
Speaker 3: It was Isaiah Harderstein's hair.

836
00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:24,040
Speaker 1: But it looks I.

837
00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:27,040
Speaker 2: Watched it ten times, going hold on, is it it

838
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:29,480
Speaker 2: is Hartenstein putting a little there?

839
00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:31,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, it looks like.

840
00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:35,520
Speaker 2: So anyway, just keep.

841
00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:37,919
Speaker 1: A note, keeping keeping notes.

842
00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:39,919
Speaker 2: All right, those are last night's games. We'll talk about

843
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:41,520
Speaker 2: the Cavs. We'll see what they do. We'll get into

844
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:45,080
Speaker 2: a whole lot more about the Mitchell situation, maybe potential trades,

845
00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:47,200
Speaker 2: and we'll wait to see if bigger staff gets canned.

846
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:50,400
Speaker 2: We got shows all throughout the postseason, all throughout the summer,

847
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:52,880
Speaker 2: so don't you worry about that. But I thought this

848
00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:57,080
Speaker 2: would be fun, coming off of Jokic's Monster Game five

849
00:37:57,160 --> 00:37:59,279
Speaker 2: performance there in that pivotal Game five the other night,

850
00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:04,880
Speaker 2: to run through the top five Nikoli Jokic playoff games.

851
00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:12,399
Speaker 2: Top top five, Top five, the top five Jokic playoff games. Guys,

852
00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:14,200
Speaker 2: there are a lot of games to pick from. This

853
00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:18,640
Speaker 2: guy's put up some monster monster numbers in something like

854
00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:23,439
Speaker 2: seventy seventy eight playoff starts. Guy's got fifty eight double

855
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:27,000
Speaker 2: doubles in eighteen triple doubles in his postseason career. But

856
00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:31,400
Speaker 2: I got a top five for you and Interestingly, some

857
00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:34,280
Speaker 2: of them come in losses, and I think I figured

858
00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:36,279
Speaker 2: out a way to beat Yolkic, to beat at least

859
00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:39,799
Speaker 2: his team let him get monster lines. At number five

860
00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:43,160
Speaker 2: on the list. Twenty nineteen first round versus the Spurs.

861
00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:48,240
Speaker 2: This is a game six. This is Jokic's first playoff series.

862
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:52,920
Speaker 2: Forty three points nineteen for thirty from the floor, twelve boards,

863
00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:55,640
Speaker 2: nine as sists, two steals. But this was a big

864
00:38:56,000 --> 00:39:00,279
Speaker 2: Spurs winning Game six, mainly because Denver got outscored thirty

865
00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:02,759
Speaker 2: to eighteen in the fourth quarter. But it wasn't because

866
00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:04,640
Speaker 2: of Jokichi did his part in the second half. He

867
00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:08,560
Speaker 2: scored twenty seven points on thirteen for sixteen shooting. Jamal

868
00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:11,000
Speaker 2: Murray scored five and nobody else scored more than three.

869
00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:13,560
Speaker 2: He got no help in this game six, but the

870
00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:15,919
Speaker 2: forty three, twelve and nine not bad, and he did

871
00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:19,399
Speaker 2: come through in Game seven in this series, he went

872
00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:22,080
Speaker 2: for twenty one fifteen to ten despite shooting thirty five

873
00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:24,080
Speaker 2: percent from the floor in a bit of a dog

874
00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:27,799
Speaker 2: fight Game seven to win his first playoff series versus

875
00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:30,440
Speaker 2: the Spurs when he got in there in twenty nineteen,

876
00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:33,520
Speaker 2: so that gets us started on the list. But it's

877
00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:33,920
Speaker 2: a loss.

878
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:36,720
Speaker 1: They beat Damar. They beat Damar, those DeMar de Rosen

879
00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:38,360
Speaker 1: Spurs series that they got.

880
00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:41,360
Speaker 4: Him weirdo, right, it's right, it's a Rosen LaMarcus Aldridge,

881
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:45,799
Speaker 4: Yaka Perl, and Derek White all starting wow for the Spurs.

882
00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:50,160
Speaker 2: All right, number four on the list. Same year. Next series,

883
00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:54,600
Speaker 2: twenty nineteen Conference semifinals versus Portland. I'm picking game three

884
00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:59,200
Speaker 2: from this series because this was the quadruple overtime game

885
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:04,239
Speaker 2: he went for thirty three, eighteen and fourteen. But the

886
00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:08,760
Speaker 2: fun part is Yokic played sixty five minutes.

887
00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:10,200
Speaker 3: Again.

888
00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:13,040
Speaker 2: It was a loss for Denver and Jokic. Portland won

889
00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:17,080
Speaker 2: won forty to one thirty seven. But man, Yokich playing

890
00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:19,560
Speaker 2: sixty five minutes. I mean, you remember this wild ass

891
00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:22,879
Speaker 2: game where everybody was, of course playing heavy minutes because

892
00:40:22,880 --> 00:40:25,640
Speaker 2: it went to quadruple overtime. But I just wanted to

893
00:40:25,680 --> 00:40:27,759
Speaker 2: illustrate this one because you know, it's a fun thing

894
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:30,120
Speaker 2: to be like, this guy's not in shape, this guy

895
00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:31,759
Speaker 2: can't run up and down the floor. Well, he played

896
00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:35,080
Speaker 2: the most minutes in the game again in his first playoff,

897
00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:37,399
Speaker 2: sort of run here and had a really good game.

898
00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:38,760
Speaker 2: Thirty three eighteen and fourteen.

899
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:41,680
Speaker 4: But is that the most playoffs minutes ever in a game.

900
00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:44,040
Speaker 4: I mean, there can't be a lotta be going close

901
00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:45,320
Speaker 4: to sixty five minutes.

902
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:46,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was.

903
00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:47,680
Speaker 3: It's impossible.

904
00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:50,480
Speaker 2: It was sixty four minutes and fifty eight seconds. I think,

905
00:40:50,520 --> 00:40:52,840
Speaker 2: so I'm rounding up by two seconds. But yeah, I

906
00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:53,560
Speaker 2: mean you can check it.

907
00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:54,920
Speaker 3: It's got to be close to it.

908
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:56,760
Speaker 1: Gotta be. How many games you've be gone.

909
00:40:56,560 --> 00:40:58,680
Speaker 2: To quadruple overtime, let alone a guy play that many

910
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:00,600
Speaker 2: in the playoffs.

911
00:41:00,719 --> 00:41:02,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I forgot to clay the playoffs.

912
00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:05,440
Speaker 2: I will say. I will say in that series, in

913
00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:08,080
Speaker 2: Game one, which was a victory for the Nuggets, he

914
00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:12,320
Speaker 2: went for thirty seven points, nine boards, six assists, three steals,

915
00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:14,320
Speaker 2: two blocks. He was perfect at the line, and he

916
00:41:14,360 --> 00:41:16,040
Speaker 2: went eleven for eighteen. So he had a really good

917
00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:18,759
Speaker 2: game won there in that conference semifinals.

918
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:21,160
Speaker 4: All right, fourth most minutes ever in a playoff in

919
00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:25,120
Speaker 4: a playoff game, most since the nineteen fifties. I don't

920
00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:28,040
Speaker 4: know what happened. There was a game on March twenty first,

921
00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:31,839
Speaker 4: nineteen fifty three, between the Boston Celtics and the Syracuse

922
00:41:33,480 --> 00:41:38,960
Speaker 4: Users and Bob Kuzy Paul Seymour and Red Roche all

923
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:44,640
Speaker 4: played sixty six to sixty seven. Wow, an absolute barn burner.

924
00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:48,200
Speaker 3: One eleven, one oh five and four over to wow.

925
00:41:48,480 --> 00:41:48,760
Speaker 1: Wow.

926
00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:55,640
Speaker 2: Har even seven is like for quadruple crazy. This is

927
00:41:56,200 --> 00:41:58,359
Speaker 2: what five years ago at this point. But that's number

928
00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:01,440
Speaker 2: four on the list for Jokic's best playoff performances.

929
00:42:01,520 --> 00:42:05,200
Speaker 4: It's funny you mentioned the fitness of Jokic because it

930
00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:07,880
Speaker 4: was a big time criticism of him early in his career.

931
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:10,799
Speaker 4: And I think about this all the time. When he

932
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:14,520
Speaker 4: came back to the bubble, he looked so much skinnier

933
00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:18,960
Speaker 4: after hanging out with Novak Djokovic, and Lee said, I

934
00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:20,480
Speaker 4: don't know if he's going to be effective now that

935
00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:25,759
Speaker 4: he lost weight. The guy has gone up like the

936
00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:27,239
Speaker 4: best five year stretch.

937
00:42:27,040 --> 00:42:28,640
Speaker 3: We've seen in a decade.

938
00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:34,040
Speaker 4: After that, getting in shape works for basketball, it turns out.

939
00:42:33,960 --> 00:42:36,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it used to be a chubby man is

940
00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:41,759
Speaker 1: obviously six straight playoff runs here. It is. It's odd

941
00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:43,560
Speaker 1: when you look at all the playoff games that he's

942
00:42:43,560 --> 00:42:45,960
Speaker 1: played in and the fact that him and Jamal Murray

943
00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:49,080
Speaker 1: when they play in a series together, haven't lost around one.

944
00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:52,279
Speaker 1: They always go to a round two or around three. Yeah,

945
00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:55,680
Speaker 1: it's some bad seasons. I mentioned Jamal Murray in there,

946
00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:58,320
Speaker 1: because yeah, he got bounced in the first round. Without

947
00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:01,520
Speaker 1: Jamal Murray. Once he keeps going, and he keeps going,

948
00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:04,200
Speaker 1: I guess because he's fit, it's got to be a car.

949
00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:06,359
Speaker 2: Well, you get ready to see because I already saw it.

950
00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:09,520
Speaker 2: If we get Jokic versus Luca, there's a photoshop going

951
00:43:09,520 --> 00:43:12,480
Speaker 2: around like the NBA YouTube thumbnail where it says like

952
00:43:12,480 --> 00:43:15,560
Speaker 2: game highlights and then it shows the two stars. The

953
00:43:15,640 --> 00:43:21,080
Speaker 2: photoshop is them super chunky, super fat looking. It looks hilarious,

954
00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:25,319
Speaker 2: Luca gigantic face and all that Yokic same thing. I

955
00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:26,919
Speaker 2: know that's making the rounds, and I'm sure it will

956
00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:29,239
Speaker 2: only catch fire even more if they actually meet in

957
00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:30,680
Speaker 2: the Western Conference finals.

958
00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:33,400
Speaker 1: Coming back from going into the bubble, a lot of

959
00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:37,640
Speaker 1: people were either gaining weight or losing weight. It's true, yeah,

960
00:43:39,560 --> 00:43:40,160
Speaker 1: to lose weight.

961
00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:42,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's been pretty good since. All right, Number three

962
00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:45,880
Speaker 2: on the list for Yokic performances in the playoffs twenty

963
00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:51,160
Speaker 2: twenty three Conference Semifinals versus Phoenix Game four. That's right,

964
00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:54,800
Speaker 2: three I've got on the list so far, all in losses.

965
00:43:55,480 --> 00:43:57,240
Speaker 2: This is the game, he went for fifty three points,

966
00:43:57,960 --> 00:44:01,719
Speaker 2: twenty to thirty, shooting eleven thirteen at the line, four

967
00:44:01,719 --> 00:44:05,000
Speaker 2: rebounds they kept him off the glass, and eleven assists.

968
00:44:06,200 --> 00:44:10,520
Speaker 2: Four of Jokic's highest scoring playoff games all came in losses.

969
00:44:11,160 --> 00:44:14,000
Speaker 2: Fifty three versus Phoenix last season, forty three in a

970
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:16,760
Speaker 2: first round series, versus the Spurs in twenty eighteen, forty

971
00:44:16,800 --> 00:44:18,920
Speaker 2: three in a first round series versus the Wolves in

972
00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:21,440
Speaker 2: twenty twenty three last year, and forty one in the

973
00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:24,960
Speaker 2: finals versus the Heat in twenty twenty three, which was

974
00:44:24,960 --> 00:44:26,280
Speaker 2: the only game they lost in that series.

975
00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:27,080
Speaker 3: This is the.

976
00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:29,279
Speaker 2: Secret to stop the Nuggets, Yeah, it really is.

977
00:44:29,400 --> 00:44:31,759
Speaker 4: I think this last game five was the first time

978
00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:33,800
Speaker 4: that the Nuggets have won a game where Yogis scores

979
00:44:33,840 --> 00:44:35,399
Speaker 4: forty or more in a playoff game.

980
00:44:35,560 --> 00:44:38,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's really really wild when you think about it.

981
00:44:39,200 --> 00:44:43,280
Speaker 1: That Phoenix line there earlier in the series, he scored

982
00:44:43,320 --> 00:44:45,840
Speaker 1: thirty nine and they won. He didn't get to the

983
00:44:45,880 --> 00:44:50,120
Speaker 1: wires just short when he shot. Also a thirty shots,

984
00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:52,160
Speaker 1: because I've been looking at how many yes did he take?

985
00:44:52,160 --> 00:44:55,520
Speaker 1: The other shoot a lot. Thirty one is the most

986
00:44:55,560 --> 00:44:58,520
Speaker 1: he's ever taken in a playoff game, as it looked

987
00:44:58,520 --> 00:45:00,000
Speaker 1: like he was going to do that against the Timberwolve

988
00:45:00,239 --> 00:45:02,160
Speaker 1: this postseason. He was gonna get up to thirty, but

989
00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:05,319
Speaker 1: foul trouble hurt him. But it's a good point here.

990
00:45:05,320 --> 00:45:06,240
Speaker 1: They're all losses.

991
00:45:06,360 --> 00:45:08,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's wild. So I had to go with his

992
00:45:08,080 --> 00:45:10,640
Speaker 2: fifty three point game though on this list. Another option though,

993
00:45:10,680 --> 00:45:14,480
Speaker 2: Game three versus Phoenix in that series, which was another loss,

994
00:45:14,719 --> 00:45:18,319
Speaker 2: he went for thirty, seventeen and seventeen. In fact, four

995
00:45:18,360 --> 00:45:22,400
Speaker 2: of Jokic's top thirteen playoff games. Ever, if you're ranking

996
00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:25,640
Speaker 2: them by basketball references game score came in this series

997
00:45:25,719 --> 00:45:28,640
Speaker 2: versus Phoenix last year, so some of his best work

998
00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:31,320
Speaker 2: in the six games. He averaged thirty four and a

999
00:45:31,360 --> 00:45:34,360
Speaker 2: half points per game, thirteen boards, ten assists, with a

1000
00:45:34,400 --> 00:45:37,880
Speaker 2: block and a steel, shooting almost sixty percent in that series,

1001
00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:40,480
Speaker 2: which is just mind blowing. But that's number three on

1002
00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:44,040
Speaker 2: the list. Let's get to a win. Number two. Last

1003
00:45:44,080 --> 00:45:48,120
Speaker 2: year's Conference Finals Game one versus the Lakers. Thirty four points,

1004
00:45:48,280 --> 00:45:51,400
Speaker 2: twelve of seventeen, shooting three to three from deep, twenty

1005
00:45:51,440 --> 00:45:56,800
Speaker 2: one rebounds, and fourteen assists. He pulled down a dozen

1006
00:45:56,880 --> 00:46:00,080
Speaker 2: rebounds and had five assists and eight points in the

1007
00:46:00,120 --> 00:46:03,719
Speaker 2: first quarter of that Game one versus the Lakers. He

1008
00:46:03,840 --> 00:46:07,319
Speaker 2: had eight, twelve and five in the first quarter. That

1009
00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:10,840
Speaker 2: set the tone. This was a monster win. This was

1010
00:46:10,880 --> 00:46:12,759
Speaker 2: a monster game for a lot of guys. Denver one

1011
00:46:12,800 --> 00:46:15,040
Speaker 2: won thirty two, one twenty six. You had Jamal Murray

1012
00:46:15,080 --> 00:46:18,040
Speaker 2: scoring thirty one. He was battling an ear infection. I

1013
00:46:18,040 --> 00:46:20,600
Speaker 2: had to be reminded of eighty. He went for forty

1014
00:46:20,600 --> 00:46:23,359
Speaker 2: and ten. Lebron had twenty six, twelve and nine. Even

1015
00:46:23,440 --> 00:46:25,840
Speaker 2: KCP and Austin Reeves both scored over twenty points. So

1016
00:46:25,920 --> 00:46:28,680
Speaker 2: everybody was on firing Game one. But the Nuggets hadn't

1017
00:46:28,719 --> 00:46:31,080
Speaker 2: beaten the Lakers in a Game one since like seventy nine,

1018
00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:33,520
Speaker 2: so this was huge for them. And he was awesome.

1019
00:46:33,560 --> 00:46:35,000
Speaker 2: I mean thirty four to twenty one and fourteen. I

1020
00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:36,320
Speaker 2: remember us talking about this one.

1021
00:46:36,680 --> 00:46:39,759
Speaker 1: So whoever they play in this year's conference finals, if

1022
00:46:39,800 --> 00:46:43,680
Speaker 1: they do game one, you gotta be scared. Game one, Yes,

1023
00:46:43,760 --> 00:46:47,160
Speaker 1: I was surprised we didn't get a shot over Anthony Davis.

1024
00:46:47,600 --> 00:46:48,319
Speaker 2: That was this game.

1025
00:46:48,640 --> 00:46:49,319
Speaker 1: That was this game.

1026
00:46:49,400 --> 00:46:50,680
Speaker 2: Well, he had a big one. At the end of

1027
00:46:51,160 --> 00:46:51,640
Speaker 2: you're thinking of.

1028
00:46:51,640 --> 00:46:55,200
Speaker 1: That, I'm thinking the gem, the back three point shot

1029
00:46:55,320 --> 00:46:57,320
Speaker 1: right a while that was the game four to seal it.

1030
00:46:57,480 --> 00:46:59,000
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, but he did hit a big one in

1031
00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:00,400
Speaker 2: this game one. I was looking at the high it

1032
00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:02,120
Speaker 2: was at the end of a quarter. I think Nady

1033
00:47:02,239 --> 00:47:04,040
Speaker 2: was right there contesting, and he just hit his classic

1034
00:47:04,160 --> 00:47:06,800
Speaker 2: like dad driveway shot. We're like, oh, come on, man,

1035
00:47:06,960 --> 00:47:09,000
Speaker 2: you know he was a monster, but his number one game.

1036
00:47:09,080 --> 00:47:11,920
Speaker 2: It is what just happened this week when you look

1037
00:47:11,920 --> 00:47:13,680
Speaker 2: at it, and especially when you take into consideration the

1038
00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:16,560
Speaker 2: zero turnovers and a two to two series, the pivotal

1039
00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:19,400
Speaker 2: game five I'm talking about twenty twenty four here Conference

1040
00:47:19,440 --> 00:47:25,040
Speaker 2: semifinals versus Minnesota had the forty burger fifteen to twenty two.

1041
00:47:25,200 --> 00:47:30,000
Speaker 2: He had seven boards, thirteen assists, and again zero turnovers.

1042
00:47:30,080 --> 00:47:32,840
Speaker 2: Just a masterpiece is what people were calling it. And

1043
00:47:32,880 --> 00:47:34,520
Speaker 2: that's why I was like, hold on, has he done better?

1044
00:47:34,560 --> 00:47:37,000
Speaker 2: And really not when you're thinking of just like the

1045
00:47:37,040 --> 00:47:40,399
Speaker 2: percentages the game, the importance of that game number, and

1046
00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:43,680
Speaker 2: just the flawlessness of the thirteen assists and zero turnovers.

1047
00:47:44,960 --> 00:47:47,920
Speaker 2: Chef's kiss here is very good from the Joker, and

1048
00:47:48,200 --> 00:47:50,160
Speaker 2: if we get a game seven, I just thought this

1049
00:47:50,200 --> 00:47:52,040
Speaker 2: is a final note to throw in here. He's played

1050
00:47:52,040 --> 00:47:54,680
Speaker 2: in four game sevens over a two year span in

1051
00:47:54,680 --> 00:47:56,960
Speaker 2: twenty nineteen and twenty twenty. Remember they kept going to

1052
00:47:57,000 --> 00:48:00,120
Speaker 2: seven games. They won three of them and lost one.

1053
00:48:00,600 --> 00:48:02,640
Speaker 2: So if Minnesota can give us a game seven for

1054
00:48:02,719 --> 00:48:05,400
Speaker 2: the weekend. Uh, he's had a pretty good record.

1055
00:48:05,760 --> 00:48:07,200
Speaker 3: Came back from down three to one twice.

1056
00:48:07,239 --> 00:48:10,160
Speaker 2: That's right, the same playoffs. Yeah, that's a that's bubble

1057
00:48:10,760 --> 00:48:11,320
Speaker 2: all the time.

1058
00:48:11,800 --> 00:48:14,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, sorry, Duck, maybe Ducker.

1059
00:48:14,920 --> 00:48:16,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, sorry, sorry, Duck.

1060
00:48:16,520 --> 00:48:18,000
Speaker 3: So there it is, I got, I got. There's a

1061
00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:20,040
Speaker 3: million other games. Game three of the Finals didn't make

1062
00:48:20,080 --> 00:48:22,600
Speaker 3: the cut. Sure it could have thirty two to twenty

1063
00:48:22,600 --> 00:48:22,919
Speaker 3: and ten.

1064
00:48:23,120 --> 00:48:25,960
Speaker 4: It's the only thirty point twenty rebound triple double in

1065
00:48:26,080 --> 00:48:26,800
Speaker 4: NBA history.

1066
00:48:26,840 --> 00:48:28,600
Speaker 2: How did he shoot in that game? Did he shoot?

1067
00:48:28,680 --> 00:48:28,759
Speaker 4: Like?

1068
00:48:29,120 --> 00:48:30,360
Speaker 2: It may have got docked a little bit.

1069
00:48:30,640 --> 00:48:33,320
Speaker 3: It was only twelve for twenty one, it's only fifty seven.

1070
00:48:34,320 --> 00:48:35,759
Speaker 2: Jesus bad for him.

1071
00:48:36,320 --> 00:48:37,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a monster.

1072
00:48:37,600 --> 00:48:40,279
Speaker 2: And that's so that's following up his the monster one

1073
00:48:40,280 --> 00:48:42,560
Speaker 2: that he yeah, yeah, yeah, Jesus Christ.

1074
00:48:42,719 --> 00:48:44,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, forty one in the loss against Miami.

1075
00:48:44,880 --> 00:48:47,680
Speaker 2: It's crazy. It's crazy that he's Uh, when it's al

1076
00:48:47,719 --> 00:48:49,279
Speaker 2: said done here, he's going to be getting he'll be

1077
00:48:49,360 --> 00:48:51,480
Speaker 2: knocking on the door of one hundred. Playoffs starts somewhat soon,

1078
00:48:51,520 --> 00:48:52,320
Speaker 2: maybe in a couple.

1079

Speaker 3: Of years, a year or two next season.

1080

1087
00:49:19,280 --> 00:49:23,880
Speaker 2: have gotten so lazy. Jo kichs joker, how original dude

1088
00:49:23,880 --> 00:49:30,520
Speaker 2: barely smiles. Anthony Edwards becomes aunt, question mark there, Shake Gilders,

1089
00:49:30,560 --> 00:49:35,120

Speaker 2: Chocolate Thunder, the round mound of rebound. We used to

1091
00:49:38,800 --> 00:49:42,440
Speaker 2: be a country. So Sam not happy with some of

1092
00:49:42,480 --> 00:49:44,799
Speaker 2: the lazy if you want to call it nicknames. But

1093
00:49:44,920 --> 00:49:48,680
Speaker 2: I say, Sam, we're trying to play our part when

1094
00:49:48,719 --> 00:49:52,040
Speaker 2: it comes to stupid nicknames, weird nicknames and original nicknames.

1095
00:49:52,640 --> 00:49:56,000
Speaker 2: Obviously PJ. Washington, the Chevy tracks. I don't think it's

1096
00:49:56,000 --> 00:49:59,440
Speaker 2: on Basketball Reference. It should be other ones we've pushed,

1097
00:49:59,760 --> 00:50:02,880
Speaker 2: or you've and come up with Kevin durant as the

1098
00:50:02,920 --> 00:50:05,440
Speaker 2: Durantla or Durantla. We were pushing that one for a

1099
00:50:05,440 --> 00:50:08,600
Speaker 2: long time. Never really caught on. Chris Quinn, the Medicine Man,

Speaker 3: Dad's quest why that.

00:50:22,200 --> 00:50:22,920
Speaker 2: Would never caught out?

1105
00:50:22,960 --> 00:50:23,359
Speaker 1: I'm not sure.

1106
00:50:23,680 --> 00:50:25,560
Speaker 2: Hey, we're trying, We're trying to be original.

1107
00:50:27,120 --> 00:50:30,320
Speaker 3: Come on, Sam, Come on, Sam.

1108
00:50:29,840 --> 00:50:34,800
Speaker 2: Sam Quinn the Medicine Man.

1109
00:50:34,520 --> 00:50:36,879
Speaker 3: Is the assistant man. I mean.

1110
00:50:36,960 --> 00:50:40,160
Speaker 4: Charles Barklay's got a thousand thousand nick names on his

1111
00:50:40,239 --> 00:50:43,200
Speaker 4: page on his basketball reference page, Sir Charles, the round

Speaker 3: Crisco Kids.

1119
00:51:10,560 --> 00:51:15,759
Speaker 2: I have a small working theory of maybe why we've

1120
00:51:15,760 --> 00:51:18,600
Speaker 2: gotten a little lazier with nicknames, or at least they're

1121
00:51:18,640 --> 00:51:20,160
Speaker 2: not as original as they used to be. Here's my

1122
00:51:20,239 --> 00:51:27,040
Speaker 2: working theory. People have cooler names now, Like a lot

1123
00:51:27,080 --> 00:51:29,879
Speaker 2: of these guys were talking about here that he's saying, Oh,

1124
00:51:29,920 --> 00:51:31,920
Speaker 2: these are boring names. Okay, maybe not Anthony Edwards will

1125
00:51:31,920 --> 00:51:33,839
Speaker 2: give you that one, but like Shay, that's a really

1126
00:51:33,840 --> 00:51:34,399
Speaker 2: cool name.

1127
00:51:34,880 --> 00:51:38,839
Speaker 1: Luca, of course, is Nicola Jokic a cool name?

1128
00:51:38,880 --> 00:51:44,480
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, obviously dumb ass I think is pretty bad.

1129
00:51:45,080 --> 00:51:48,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, sure, but I'm just saying, you know, a guy

1130
00:51:48,400 --> 00:51:50,640
Speaker 2: named Charles, you gotta get a little more creative.

1131
00:51:56,080 --> 00:51:58,560
Speaker 1: I guess that's why Luka Doncic is one of his

1132
00:51:58,640 --> 00:52:01,319
Speaker 1: many nicknames. Is too easy. It's just too easy to

1133
00:52:01,440 --> 00:52:04,360
Speaker 1: come up with a nickname, or too hard. That doesn't

1134
00:52:04,400 --> 00:52:06,319
Speaker 1: make any sense anyways. I wanted to go through the

1135
00:52:06,360 --> 00:52:09,000
Speaker 1: list of Lucas. That's why I got him here. The Matador,

1136
00:52:09,040 --> 00:52:13,920
Speaker 1: El Matador, cool Hand, the Don wonder Boy, El Nuno Maravilla, Okay,

1137
00:52:13,920 --> 00:52:16,680
Speaker 1: Swaggyel Luca Legend, too easy, Luca Magic.

1138
00:52:17,840 --> 00:52:20,680
Speaker 2: The only ones that you see are here. Luca Magic

1139
00:52:20,719 --> 00:52:24,759
Speaker 2: gets thrown around the donk because Olielis and wonder Boy

1140
00:52:24,800 --> 00:52:27,279
Speaker 2: had a moment. You know. Now he's a man, so

1141
00:52:27,320 --> 00:52:28,879
Speaker 2: it doesn't work.

1142
00:52:28,440 --> 00:52:32,239
Speaker 1: Lucas, it's just a good yeah. Yeah, that's why it

1143
00:52:32,360 --> 00:52:35,080
Speaker 1: just makes sense. This one was the dawn and not

1144
00:52:35,160 --> 00:52:35,520
Speaker 1: the dog.

1145
00:52:35,640 --> 00:52:38,319
Speaker 2: Oh you said the don So the donk never made

1146
00:52:38,320 --> 00:52:40,200
Speaker 2: it there, couldn't cut it.

1147
00:52:40,239 --> 00:52:44,640
Speaker 3: But the Matador and El Matador jeez, jeez, temper boy

1148
00:52:44,680 --> 00:52:45,839
Speaker 3: should be there. That's not bad.

1149
00:52:47,440 --> 00:52:50,759
Speaker 4: I'm excited for uh Matus Buzzellis to come to the

1150
00:52:50,880 --> 00:52:54,319
Speaker 4: NBA because I think he's got two great nicknames. I'm

1151
00:52:54,320 --> 00:52:57,880
Speaker 4: going to try to call him Mietus ball Zellous. Good

1152
00:52:57,960 --> 00:53:02,000
Speaker 4: luck with that tall, skinny guy nick Meatball is pretty funny. Okay,

1153
00:53:02,080 --> 00:53:04,719
Speaker 4: I could catch on, but I think more likely ball

1154
00:53:04,840 --> 00:53:07,960
Speaker 4: Dano as a nickname for not just Bozelli out he

1155
00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:10,239
Speaker 4: looks very much like Paul j plays.

1156
00:53:10,719 --> 00:53:11,080
Speaker 3: That's good.

1157
00:53:13,120 --> 00:53:16,319
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, we have to we have to admit you

1158
00:53:16,440 --> 00:53:18,040
Speaker 2: pushing Meatball for Jalen Brunson.

1159
00:53:18,440 --> 00:53:19,799
Speaker 3: It ain't working. It just doesn't work.

1160
00:53:19,880 --> 00:53:22,439
Speaker 4: Brunson is a good nickname or a good name as well.

1161
00:53:22,600 --> 00:53:23,920
Speaker 4: Yeah last name, it's.

1162
00:53:23,800 --> 00:53:24,520
Speaker 3: A great last name.

1163
00:53:24,600 --> 00:53:27,360
Speaker 2: And it's a second tweet related to that, because this

1164
00:53:27,520 --> 00:53:30,560
Speaker 2: is uh yeah yah dubin on Twitter. Something important that

1165
00:53:30,640 --> 00:53:33,799
Speaker 2: needs to be clarified is that Brunson Burner is not

1166
00:53:34,000 --> 00:53:36,799
Speaker 2: a good nickname for Jalen Brunson. It is, however, a

1167
00:53:36,920 --> 00:53:39,880
Speaker 2: very good name for a specific move like the in

1168
00:53:39,960 --> 00:53:42,440
Speaker 2: and out into the one hand layup, or just a

1169
00:53:42,480 --> 00:53:45,719
Speaker 2: general concept of a of smoking a guy like he

1170
00:53:45,800 --> 00:53:49,640
Speaker 2: put Ni Smith in the Brunson Burner. I agree with that.

1171
00:53:49,640 --> 00:53:52,160
Speaker 2: That's that's perfect. It's not a good nickname for him.

1172
00:53:52,239 --> 00:53:53,960
Speaker 2: You're not going to say, oh, the Brunson Burner. But

1173
00:53:54,360 --> 00:53:57,319
Speaker 2: a movie pulls off like that one where he buls

1174
00:53:57,360 --> 00:53:57,799
Speaker 2: by a guy.

1175
00:53:57,880 --> 00:53:59,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's I like that.

1176
00:54:00,040 --> 00:54:02,480
Speaker 2: But he can't be Meatball either. I mean, I love

1177
00:54:02,520 --> 00:54:04,200
Speaker 2: that somebody's going to be a meatball and I can't

1178
00:54:04,200 --> 00:54:05,439
Speaker 2: wait till the day. But it's not him.

1179
00:54:06,080 --> 00:54:09,080
Speaker 1: Well, no, it's an interesting guy because he really has

1180
00:54:09,360 --> 00:54:12,239
Speaker 1: no action on basketball reference. He's got JB, he's got

1181
00:54:12,280 --> 00:54:16,120
Speaker 1: brunts and Burner and then he's got brunts him. Oh

1182
00:54:16,200 --> 00:54:19,520
Speaker 1: no it's not. No, I mean it might, No, it might.

1183
00:54:20,400 --> 00:54:22,400
Speaker 1: There isn't a good one out there, no, no.

1184
00:54:22,280 --> 00:54:23,399
Speaker 2: But it's a good name. You're right.

1185
00:54:23,440 --> 00:54:23,839
Speaker 3: This is the thing.

1186
00:54:23,840 --> 00:54:24,479
Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying.

1187
00:54:24,760 --> 00:54:29,000
Speaker 3: People got great names names or their name Jalen that's

1188
00:54:29,040 --> 00:54:31,040
Speaker 3: one of the two. Yeah, that's true, that's true.

1189
00:54:31,080 --> 00:54:35,520
Speaker 4: I am surprised though, about the widespread knowledge of bunsen

1190
00:54:35,560 --> 00:54:36,560
Speaker 4: burners in general.

1191
00:54:37,600 --> 00:54:39,839
Speaker 2: Really you don't think I don't know. I mean, you

1192
00:54:39,840 --> 00:54:41,680
Speaker 2: were a science man, precisely.

1193
00:54:41,719 --> 00:54:42,640
Speaker 3: I was a science man.

1194
00:54:43,040 --> 00:54:46,360
Speaker 4: As a man of science, I saw buns and burners

1195
00:54:46,400 --> 00:54:48,480
Speaker 4: all the time in high school and college.

1196
00:54:49,000 --> 00:54:49,680
Speaker 3: That's why I'm saying.

1197
00:54:49,719 --> 00:54:52,480
Speaker 4: I'm like, I don't think everybody has a health science degree, right,

1198
00:54:52,480 --> 00:54:55,880
Speaker 4: so maybe not everybody's exposed to a bunsen burner. Ergo,

1199
00:54:55,920 --> 00:54:58,480
Speaker 4: I'm surprised that everybody's exposed to a bunsen burner.

1200
00:54:58,560 --> 00:55:00,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a good poll. You know what a buns

1201
00:55:00,480 --> 00:55:00,799
Speaker 2: and burner?

1202
00:55:01,080 --> 00:55:01,319
Speaker 3: You know.

1203
00:55:02,080 --> 00:55:03,960
Speaker 4: Next, we're going to check in on your knowledge of

1204
00:55:04,040 --> 00:55:07,640
Speaker 4: earl a meer flasks.

1205
00:55:07,080 --> 00:55:09,920
Speaker 1: I know that that's where your degree comes from. Bunzer

1206
00:55:09,920 --> 00:55:12,440
Speaker 1: burner everybody gets in school high school.

1207
00:55:12,760 --> 00:55:14,440
Speaker 3: Right, and you're often using it with an earl and

1208
00:55:14,480 --> 00:55:15,040
Speaker 3: myer flask.

1209
00:55:15,160 --> 00:55:18,239
Speaker 2: That's wheep Okay, yeah, okay, I was gonna be my guest.

1210
00:55:18,280 --> 00:55:18,760
Speaker 2: By the way.

1211
00:55:19,360 --> 00:55:21,279
Speaker 1: That so it's narrow off top and then wide base.

1212
00:55:21,640 --> 00:55:26,560
Speaker 2: That's what it's your classic science Yeah, yeah, glass.

1213
00:55:26,320 --> 00:55:31,400
Speaker 4: Jar like yeah, slanty cylinders and burner.

1214
00:55:32,120 --> 00:55:34,800
Speaker 1: That was the word flask for. That doesn't seem like

1215
00:55:34,840 --> 00:55:35,399
Speaker 1: the right words.

1216
00:55:35,440 --> 00:55:37,560
Speaker 2: You ever see anybody have to use the eyewash station

1217
00:55:37,880 --> 00:55:39,040
Speaker 2: of course? Really?

1218
00:55:39,239 --> 00:55:42,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I tried to tell my daughter about it.

1219
00:55:42,680 --> 00:55:44,839
Speaker 1: They're gone too. They're like buns and burners. They're gone,

1220
00:55:44,880 --> 00:55:48,400
Speaker 1: They're gone. Nobody uses them anymore. Oh, here comes j D.

1221
00:55:48,880 --> 00:55:54,120
Speaker 1: J D knows how old is your oldest daughter? Six six?

1222
00:55:54,920 --> 00:55:58,560
Speaker 1: They don't give six year olds, I know, buns and burners.

1223
00:55:58,680 --> 00:56:01,319
Speaker 1: I was telling her about the station. Yeah, they don't

1224
00:56:01,320 --> 00:56:03,200
Speaker 1: get six year olds that either, because they're not allowed

1225
00:56:03,239 --> 00:56:03,719
Speaker 1: to use those.

1226
00:56:03,800 --> 00:56:07,080
Speaker 2: They probably need more than anybody. They're not honest. All

1227
00:56:07,120 --> 00:56:08,839
Speaker 2: you guys say is their kids are sick every time,

1228
00:56:08,920 --> 00:56:12,960
Speaker 2: like at the end of the day.

1229
00:56:13,200 --> 00:56:16,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm actually curious to see put that pull up

1230
00:56:16,440 --> 00:56:19,040
Speaker 1: because I had a cold open lined up about a

1231
00:56:19,080 --> 00:56:19,880
Speaker 1: bunsen burner.

1232
00:56:20,000 --> 00:56:22,319
Speaker 3: Okay, Like I think it's good.

1233
00:56:22,920 --> 00:56:23,719
Speaker 2: It is quite high.

1234
00:56:23,840 --> 00:56:26,000
Speaker 1: I think it's high too. But I I sort of get.

1235
00:56:25,840 --> 00:56:28,160
Speaker 2: What Trey saying about you just maybe or maybe people

1236
00:56:28,200 --> 00:56:29,680
Speaker 2: I don't know. I thought a lot of people did

1237
00:56:29,680 --> 00:56:30,440
Speaker 2: have that in high.
