I want to start with. 59 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,400 Speaker 4: Jay, as we look at this, this next game. 60 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:36,200 Speaker 5: As you're listening to this, if you're listening to this 61 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,480 Speaker 5: on Wednesday, you'll already know the results of game two. 62 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 5: And we'll just go ahead and say up front, Jay, 63 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:42,639 Speaker 5: I assume that if the Knicks lose Game two, you're 64 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:44,400 Speaker 5: just like, well, that lost, right. 65 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, if the Knicks lose Game two, I'll be a 66 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 3: very unhappy camper. Let's just put it that way. But 67 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,400 Speaker 3: I don't I mean, anything is possible, but hopefully they 68 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:56,360 Speaker 3: don't lose it. But yeah, Nick's series handicapped plus one 69 00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:58,160 Speaker 3: and a half For me, I think they win the series. 70 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:00,079 Speaker 3: So this, I mean, I couldn't talk you off just 71 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,560 Speaker 3: taking the plus one forty plus one thirty the bitch 72 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:04,920 Speaker 3: you can get. But I'll take the insurance with this 73 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 3: one NIX plus one and a half at a low number. 74 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,240 Speaker 3: Got that when it minus one thirty, I absolutely love 75 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:10,680 Speaker 3: to play. 76 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,640 Speaker 5: Okay, So in our series preview, I was like, I 77 00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:15,320 Speaker 5: like Nicks, and I was like, I just I like 78 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,640 Speaker 5: this matchup like that, this should be a good matchup 79 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,160 Speaker 5: for the next And then Brandon was like, it's Tom 80 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:23,680 Speaker 5: Thibodeau versus Eric s Folstra And then like my stomach 81 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,560 Speaker 5: just dropped out of my body and into the Earth's core. 82 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:28,000 Speaker 2: And in the first. 83 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:31,680 Speaker 4: Half I was like, Aha, the Heat are still the 84 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:32,360 Speaker 4: eighth seed. 85 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:33,239 Speaker 2: That's right. 86 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 5: And then the second half I was like, oh no, 87 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 5: it's still Thibodeaux versus Foe. Oh God, what have I done? 88 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,240 Speaker 5: So I am very curious to hear why you're so 89 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:46,080 Speaker 5: confident in the next one the series. 90 00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:50,120 Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, Knicks in the series. For me, First off, 91 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:51,960 Speaker 3: I don't think Jimmy Buler is gonna be one hundred percent. 92 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 3: I do think they give rental back at some point 93 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 3: in this one. Obviously Brunson's a little banged up in 94 00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,280 Speaker 3: this one. But I'll take the Knicks bitter defensively and 95 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,000 Speaker 3: offensively my opinion, the better overall team. We saw what 96 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 3: the Bucks did in Game two use their size advantage. 97 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 2: Man by to Bayo. 98 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 3: I mean, he's a great player, but he's got He's 99 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 3: like six' nine at the. 100 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 2: Most. 101 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 3: Right Kevin love as your backup. Center i'm not trusting. 102 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,680 Speaker 3: It you know what happens sometimes in game one teams 103 00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,480 Speaker 3: will literally tip their tip their hand right and throw 104 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:19,719 Speaker 3: the kitchen sink at a. Team that's WHAT i believe 105 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 3: that he. DID i don't think there's many other adjustments 106 00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:23,839 Speaker 3: they can make other than building the wall and try 107 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:25,800 Speaker 3: to wall them. Off once The knicks figure that out 108 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:29,320 Speaker 3: and if they're hidden outside, shots they will come back. 109 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:29,560 Speaker 2: And win this. 110 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 3: Series This heat team is very. Inconsistent, Yes Jimmy butler can. 111 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 3: Ball they have guys that can knock down Three, Struce Vincent, Duncan, 112 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,040 Speaker 3: robinson Even, lowery but these are all streaky type of 113 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,239 Speaker 3: players and there are a couple of bad games away 114 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,720 Speaker 3: from getting blown out in this. Series given The knicks 115 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 3: some confidence in this, one So i'll be, HONEST i 116 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:47,919 Speaker 3: have a lot of confidence that The knicks will win this, 117 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,719 Speaker 3: series let alone cover the plus one and a half. Games, 118 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:52,640 Speaker 3: obviously if it goes to game, SEVEN i don't. Care 119 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,440 Speaker 3: it doesn't matter who. Wins i'll get the win regardless 120 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:57,920 Speaker 3: there BUT i see this as a, long hard fought out. 121 00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:01,080 Speaker 3: SERIES i Know sposter can out Coach. Thibodeau in theory 122 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,560 Speaker 3: But tims is. Not it's not like He's Joe, mizzoula 123 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 3: like he's some rookie out, here. Right he has plenty 124 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 3: of experience going up Against butler as. Well SO i 125 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:10,760 Speaker 3: don't think the coach and mismatch is that. Big BUT 126 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,560 Speaker 3: i do think the mismatch is that big as far 127 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:15,520 Speaker 3: as The knicks in their depth in this. One so 128 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 3: this one's all and guys like quickly grinds the role 129 00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:20,680 Speaker 3: players R. J, Bard where can you get from? Them Isaiah. 130 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:22,719 Speaker 3: Hartenstein BUT i think they just have to take a 131 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 3: page out of the books book and. 132 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:25,800 Speaker 2: Do what they did In game. 133 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,360 Speaker 3: Two use your size, advantage pass it to the guys 134 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:32,559 Speaker 3: in the, paint use Those aliu passes With Mitchell. 135 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:33,839 Speaker 2: Robinson they can't stop. 136 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,000 Speaker 3: It and Once brunson starts to getting into the, paint 137 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:38,160 Speaker 3: And i'll start with they didn't get any foul calls 138 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 3: game one as, WELL i think they will even up 139 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,400 Speaker 3: as the series goes. ON i think The heat literally 140 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:44,800 Speaker 3: showed their showed their whole hand to go out there 141 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,040 Speaker 3: and Steal game, one still home court advantage The. 142 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,040 Speaker 2: Knicks it's all on The knicks to make. Adjustments. 143 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 3: NOW i don't think there's much more than he can 144 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,880 Speaker 3: do adjustments wise in this. One so given The knicks 145 00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:55,479 Speaker 3: to win the series and plus one and a. 146 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,680 Speaker 4: Half it's a good. CAP i THINK i have some. 147 00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:02,000 Speaker 5: Concerns among them is The knicks, offense which was number 148 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 5: two in the regular, season has looked like absolute trash 149 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,599 Speaker 5: in the. Playoffs like they won that cav series with, 150 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 5: defense it was not. 151 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:10,720 Speaker 4: Good and some. 152 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:11,880 Speaker 5: Of that you could be, like, well The calves are 153 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,240 Speaker 5: a really good, defense and that's, true BUT i, think 154 00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:16,960 Speaker 5: like after that game one second half, performance LIKE i 155 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:20,680 Speaker 5: have legit. CONCERNS i don't know that they have enough 156 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:24,200 Speaker 5: poison countermeasures for them to be able to figure out 157 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:26,280 Speaker 5: how to attack A heat team that like that's their. 158 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:29,120 Speaker 5: Strength LIKE i think The heat will cool off, offensively 159 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:31,960 Speaker 5: BUT i think that they'll do like all of these 160 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 5: type of things in the mechanism of the defense to 161 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:38,720 Speaker 5: be able to slow them. Down the QUESTION i think 162 00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:40,760 Speaker 5: is gonna come. Down some of this, too is like 163 00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 5: quickly needs to have a better series like the heater 164 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:44,880 Speaker 5: low on ball, handlers, right like they Lose Tyler, hero 165 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:49,080 Speaker 5: they Lose Victor oladipo And jimmy's banged, up and that's why, 166 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,599 Speaker 5: like how do they Win game? One Kyle lowry goes, nuts, 167 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,280 Speaker 5: right you need to crowd those ball, handlers and they 168 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:56,040 Speaker 5: The knicks did not do a good enough job of 169 00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:57,799 Speaker 5: that In game. One if they do a better, job 170 00:06:57,960 --> 00:06:59,159 Speaker 5: then they can probably shut this. 171 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:01,680 Speaker 4: Down The heat shooting is always gonna be like a 172 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:02,480 Speaker 4: wild roller. 173 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:07,200 Speaker 5: Coaster it's either insanely good or absolutely. Terrible it's absolute. 174 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:10,120 Speaker 5: Garbage SO i think both of those.

With but, YEAH i, MEAN i think, overall 185 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:42,720 Speaker 1: The knicks are, deeper they have a better. Squad The 186 00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:47,560 Speaker 1: i've been making front of The spolstra Pat Riley aura. 187 00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:50,960 Speaker 1: THING i, mean Pat riley's more of The Aura cospose 188 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:54,320 Speaker 1: on the, floor, calling calling things and making.

One both teams offensively 191 00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:06,080 Speaker 1: were terrible in, one But spolster made more adjustments and 192 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:10,440 Speaker 1: The heat made time lee shots like they've been doing all. Playoffs, 193 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,720 Speaker 1: OVERALL i believe The knicks are a better. Squad they 194 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:16,000 Speaker 1: get it done tonight and they can continue to. Roll 195 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:20,360 Speaker 1: the injuries here are the massive. Thing we talked about 196 00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:22,280 Speaker 1: how difficult it was to cap some of these games 197 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:25,480 Speaker 1: in the regular. Season as we record this coming into game, 198 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:27,960 Speaker 1: too we have a there's a world where we might 199 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:31,920 Speaker 1: see No Jalen, runsing No, randall No Jimmy. BUTLER i 200 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 1: will say, This, jimmy if you Follow Jimmy butler on 201 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:38,360 Speaker 1: social he has been walking Around New york hanging, out hitting. 202 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:41,520 Speaker 1: Shops AND i didn't see any wrap on the.

Corner so there's a lot of 207 00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:57,240 Speaker 1: different things than that you could look at. THERE i think, 208 00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:01,360 Speaker 1: overall this offense has to low up and the Timely 209 00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:04,080 Speaker 1: buckets For miami. 210 00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:04,200 Speaker 2: Has to slow. 211 00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,880 Speaker 1: UP i think, overall The knicks are a better team 212 00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:09,319 Speaker 1: than they end up coming out on top THE i 213 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:11,600 Speaker 1: would play the plus one and a. HALF i wouldn't 214 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:15,000 Speaker 1: take The knicks outright in the. SERIES i would take that. 215 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:18,000 Speaker 4: Insurance.

Bucks john has been several, 219 00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:28,440 Speaker 5: games but we're good enough to beat The bucks in? 220 00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:32,280 Speaker 5: Five Is New york good enough to drag them? Longer, 221 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:34,200 Speaker 5: like that's an interesting. Question it's going to be a 222 00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:36,680 Speaker 5: GOOD i think test of concept on that.

One The lakers that they 246 00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:46,960 Speaker 5: have the same kind of issue that The suns are 247 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:47,680 Speaker 5: having with a math. 248 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:48,480 Speaker 4: Problem versus The. 249 00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:51,079 Speaker 5: Nuggets they don't take enough. Threes they actually allow a 250 00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:53,720 Speaker 5: huge number Of Brandon. Anderson OUR Nba futures analysts point 251 00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:55,880 Speaker 5: this out on our series, preview but The lakers actually 252 00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:57,880 Speaker 5: give up a huge amount of, threes and that's Post 253 00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:00,400 Speaker 5: All star when they got all those reinform horse means 254 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:03,240 Speaker 5: to become my ACTUAL nba, team they still were giving 255 00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:03,720 Speaker 5: up a ton of. 256 00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,840 Speaker 4: Threes and, look The warriors offense is. 257 00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 5: Mid my favorite bets in the series are gonna be 258 00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:13,560 Speaker 5: unders because both these, offenses like everyone's, like, Oh lebron 259 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:16,960 Speaker 5: And ad And Stephen clay and The Splash, brothers And i'm, 260 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:21,640 Speaker 5: like these two offenses are extremely. Mediocre these are not impressive. 261 00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:22,680 Speaker 4: Offenses The. 262 00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:27,000 Speaker 5: King everyone is really overreacting to The warriors performance versus The, 263 00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:29,760 Speaker 5: kings where it's, like, oh That king's team was so, 264 00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:30,920 Speaker 5: Good what an. 265 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:31,920 Speaker 4: Amazing performance from The. 266 00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 2: Warriors it's the, LIKE i love The. 267 00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:37,200 Speaker 4: Kings that was my favorite win. Total it's The. 268 00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:40,880 Speaker 5: Kings what are we doing the defensive? 269 00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:41,880 Speaker 4: Rating why are you? 270 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:45,640 Speaker 5: Impressed The warriors at the tenth best half court offense 271 00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:52,200 Speaker 5: in THE Nba playoffs after playing The Sacramento, Kings like that's. 272 00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:55,160 Speaker 5: Bad that's a concerning. Sign i'm gonna like unders in the. 273 00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:58,320 Speaker 5: Series and then it's a defensive. Series, now if it's defensive, 274 00:11:58,320 --> 00:11:59,960 Speaker 5: series you, go it doesn't that lean towards The lake 275 00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:02,640 Speaker 5: because they've been the number two. Defense it would except 276 00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:04,319 Speaker 5: for the fact that there's more guys THAT i trust 277 00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:06,679 Speaker 5: On Golden state by a hair by enough to get 278 00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:09,600 Speaker 5: the one and a half on The warriors THAN i 279 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:11,800 Speaker 5: do on The. LAKERS i think D'Angel russell is gonna be. 280 00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:14,200 Speaker 5: Unplayable i'm gonna be On russell unders this is gonna 281 00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,800 Speaker 5: be a nightmare series for, him a team that switches 282 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:18,160 Speaker 5: with side where he has to Chase. 283 00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:21,120 Speaker 4: Steph how are you playing D'Angel russell in the. Series 284 00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:24,040 Speaker 4: The warriors depth is a. 285 00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:26,600 Speaker 5: Problem The, LAKERS i think have a little bit of 286 00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:29,000 Speaker 5: an edge in the, depth but The warriors starters are way, way, 287 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,280 Speaker 5: way way way way. Better so for, ME i will 288 00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:32,760 Speaker 5: go ahead and now will lay the one and a half. 289 00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:37,480 Speaker 5: HERE i think The warriors will win between one and 290 00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:39,600 Speaker 5: two of first. Two they'll win one In. La they 291 00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:41,600 Speaker 5: always win a road game in the, series and they'll 292 00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:43,440 Speaker 5: have an opportunity to close it out in five or 293 00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:46,960 Speaker 5: potentially six if they screw. Around getting That mius one 294 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,160 Speaker 5: and a half is great for. Me i'm getting a 295 00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:52,480 Speaker 5: minus one and a half. Here Play everyone's expecting a long, Series, 296 00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:55,040 Speaker 5: Sean you're expecting a long, Series So i'm kind of 297 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:57,760 Speaker 5: curious as to your thoughts on what makes you believe 298 00:12:57,760 --> 00:12:59,760 Speaker 5: that this is going to be a, knockout drag out 299 00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:01,360 Speaker 5: all timer Between steph And. 300 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:06,600 Speaker 1: Lebron, yeah it's purely on the fact THAT i believe 301 00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:10,200 Speaker 1: it did take absolutely every. OUNCE i know, YOU i 302 00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:12,400 Speaker 1: know we're talking about The, kings AND i know they 303 00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:14,720 Speaker 1: had a great, series and, hey and let's be, clear 304 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:19,520 Speaker 1: absolutely fantastic season for the, franchise for the fan, base for. 305 00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:22,800 Speaker 1: Everything but it took everything out of The Golden State 306 00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:26,679 Speaker 1: warriors to beat those guys and all the all the 307 00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:29,840 Speaker 1: the roster and the experience and all the people that 308 00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:32,559 Speaker 1: we talked about With. Steph steph was, like, Clearly i'm 309 00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:34,959 Speaker 1: gonna go out here try to get this w all by, 310 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:39,479 Speaker 1: myself and that's what he did In game seven with that. Performance, 311 00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:44,600 Speaker 1: NOW i just think the the D'anngelo russell point is 312 00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:47,640 Speaker 1: a great. One, Actually, MATT i hadn't even thought about 313 00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:50,280 Speaker 1: that and broke that down yet till till you mentioned. 314 00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:52,600 Speaker 1: It BUT i Think lebron and the rest of those, 315 00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:56,240 Speaker 1: guys that roster is full. Enough they have enough experience 316 00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:58,680 Speaker 1: against each other where this will get to at least six. 317 00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:03,560 Speaker 1: GAMES i don't have to worry about who, wins how 318 00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:06,040 Speaker 1: that shakes, out the different rest periods and all that. 319 00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,000 Speaker 1: STUFF i believe this is a six or seven game. 320 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:11,839 Speaker 1: SERIES i Believe Lebron james will be ready to go 321 00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:14,199 Speaker 1: in this. Spot the only Person i'm worried about Is 322 00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:17,760 Speaker 1: Anthony davis and What looney could potentially do to. Him 323 00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:21,480 Speaker 1: The Anthony davis is not a guy that likes to 324 00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:24,400 Speaker 1: overcome how DO i say this and be? Nice he's 325 00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:28,320 Speaker 1: not the guy that likes to overcome a lot of difficult. 326 00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:31,760 Speaker 1: SITUATIONS i can See looney And draymond getting in his 327 00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:35,320 Speaker 1: ass and bothering him quite a, bit and he has 328 00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:37,960 Speaker 1: a hard time mentally trying to get over that. Block 329 00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:39,880 Speaker 1: but if he does and it continues to make an 330 00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:42,360 Speaker 1: impact like we know we, can this is for sure 331 00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:43,240 Speaker 1: going six or seven. 332 00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:47,800 Speaker 5: Games his most dominant playoff series run was obviously in 333 00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:50,760 Speaker 5: the bubble when he was hitting. Jumpers he faced a 334 00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:55,560 Speaker 5: small Ball houston. Team he faced who's their other opponent in? 335 00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:56,840 Speaker 5: There they Faced houston in the first. 336 00:14:56,920 --> 00:15:00,400 Speaker 2: Round come, on, guys, well what we you gonna? 337 00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:00,560 Speaker 1: Say? 338 00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:02,360 Speaker 2: Jay what AM i gonna? 339 00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:06,720 Speaker 3: Say Ndy davis will Destroy Draymond green And looney in this. 340 00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:09,360 Speaker 3: Series this is not some bonus that they're going up. 341 00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:12,560 Speaker 3: Against they have to deal with.
